The First Marquis of Daxuan

Apart from Zhang Yunzhou, all the Huang Tiandao red-robed experts on the dragon ship had been killed.

Four Tai Chu Realm experts on Su Mu's side were seriously injured, while the rest were only slightly injured.

Fortunately, no one was injured or killed.

This victory was mainly due to Su Mu's swift and decisive breakthrough of the enemy's battle formation.

Moreover, he immediately killed several red-robed experts, causing everyone else to panic.

Add to that the madmen of the celestial world who are fighting desperately.

It's no wonder that all those red-robed experts were wiped out.

Even the madman's gaze towards Su Mu changed slightly.

He knew Su Mu was strong before, but he never expected Su Mu to be this strong.

They broke through the battle formation and seized the dragon boat in one swift motion.

Su Mu accomplished something that even the entire Yinghuo world couldn't achieve by pooling its resources, all by himself.

"Excuse me for speaking frankly, but I have never seen this dragon boat before."

The madman from the world of Mars spoke up, "The previous dragon ship was much more powerful than this one."

He was not denying Su Mu's achievements, but simply stating a fact.

"This is just a Yellow-rank warship. The ones you saw before were probably Profound-rank or Earth-rank."

Zhang Yunzhou interjected, "However, I estimate it should be a Xuan-rank warship. If it were an Di-rank warship, you wouldn't have survived."

"Who exactly are you? What is your relationship with Huang Tiandao?"

The madman from the world of Yinghuo's face darkened, his expression filled with murderous intent.

Zhang Yunzhou subconsciously shrank his neck, took a few steps closer to Su Mu, and said weakly, "I am Zhang Yunzhou from the Eight Scenery Star. Huang Tiandao captured us and made us help them forge warships."

This Yellow-Rank warship was crafted by me.

So you were an accomplice!

The madman of the Yinghuo world was enraged, and his aura exploded outwards.

He took a step forward, instantly covering several meters, and reached out to grab Zhang Yunzhou.

Although Zhang Yunzhou also possessed the cultivation of the initial stage of the Primordial Realm, he clearly rarely engaged in combat.

As the madman attacked, he even forgot to resist.

Just then, Su Mu took a step to the side, raised his hand, and grabbed the madman's wrist.

The madman's face turned red, and despite using all his strength, his arm remained completely still.

He stared intently at Su Mu.

Why are you stopping me?

He growled in a low voice, "I am grateful to you for helping me break Huang Tiandao's battle formation."

But if you stop me from taking revenge, then I will consider you my enemy!

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor."

Su Mu said calmly, "I won't stop you if you want to seek revenge on Huang Tiandao."

But this matter has nothing to do with Zhang Yunzhou.

Zhang Yunzhou was just a craftsman.

Zhang Yunzhou nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice.

"He only forged the warships; what Huang Tiandao did with them is none of his business."

Su Mudao.

The madman fell silent.

After a long while, the madness in his eyes gradually disappeared.

The one who kills is the one who wields the knife, not the one who forges it.

He understands this principle.

However, since everyone in his bewitching world died a violent death, he had no way to vent his hatred.

“Brother Feng, Zhang Yunzhou knows something about Huang Tiandao. He might be able to help you avenge your great grudge.”

Su Mu said calmly.

"I can!"

Zhang Yunzhou raised his hand and said.

"I am sworn enemies with Huang Tiandao! My elders and fellow disciples have all fallen into Huang Tiandao's hands. They don't treat us like human beings at all, and they force us to work day and night to build warships."

"If you can help me rescue my commander and fellow disciples, we can also help you forge warships!"

Zhang Yunzhou looked at Su Mu with anticipation.

He has been in Huang Tiandao's hands for some time now.

This was the first time he had ever seen anyone manage to take a warship from Huang Tiandao.

He had already given up hope, feeling that he would never be able to escape Huang Tiandao's clutches in his lifetime.

Now he has hope again.

The person in front of him might be able to help him save someone.

"Let's put the warships aside for now. Tell me, what is the background of this Huang Tiandao?"

Su Mu shook his head and said.

"Huang Tiandao is a group of people who were expelled from the Heavenly Realm."

Zhang Yunzhou spoke first.

His first words were earth-shattering.

skyline.

That's the place everyone chases.

Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Qian Gong Liu and others, and even Yuan Huaizhou, all wanted to go to the Heavenly Realm.

They appeared on the Heavenly Road for this very purpose.

Legend has it that the celestial realm is located at the end of the Heavenly Road, and the people there are immortal.

Now someone is telling them that the Heavenly Realm has expelled some people?

What exactly is going on?

"I don't know the specifics either; I just pieced together the information from their conversation."

Zhang Yunzhou explained, "It seems that Huang Tiandao and his group had different ideas from another group, so the two sides went to war directly. Huang Tiandao was defeated and was expelled from the Heavenly Realm."

But Huang Tiandao was not resigned to his fate and continued to plot his return to the Heavenly Realm.

"Then they should just fight their way back to the Heavenly Realm. Why go around killing people?"

Zhao Baiqi pondered.

"They seem to think that anyone who can travel the path to heaven and reach the heavens will become their enemy."

Therefore, they took precautions and nipped the problem in the bud, wanting to completely eliminate this possibility.

Zhang Yunzhou whispered.

Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Qian Gongliu, and others were all so angry they laughed.

The madman from the world of fire and darkness wore a sorrowful expression.

For such a ridiculous reason, Huang Tiandao and his people slaughtered billions of people in his Yinghuo World.

Does having great power mean you can do whatever you want?
"Of course, I suspect they may have other motives, but I'm not qualified to know."

Zhang Yunzhou shrank his neck and said weakly.

In his eyes, these people exuded a strong murderous aura, just as terrifying as Huang Tiandao and his group.

That is, Su Mu made him feel a little more at ease.

At least Su Mu didn't immediately threaten to kill him.

How many people does Huang Tiandao have in total?

Su Mu pondered for a moment, then slowly asked, "What is their strength?"

"As far as I know, the original Huang Tiandao only had 108 people, but they expanded a lot later, and I really don't know how many there are now."

Zhang Yunzhou said, "What I know is that Huang Tiandao has one Heaven-rank warship, eight Earth-rank warships, twenty Profound-rank warships, and one hundred Earth-rank warships."

Huang Tiandao's warships were all made by Zhang Yunzhou's senior disciples and fellow disciples.

Although they had become slaves of Huang Tiandao, they still maintained contact with each other in a special way.

Over the years, Zhang Yunzhou has been quietly collecting relevant information.

All I could think about was that one day I could regain my childhood.

Zhang Yunzhou just didn't expect his freedom to come so quickly.

“A Yellow-rank warship typically only requires thirty-six people to control.”

Zhang Yunzhou continued, "A Xuan-rank warship requires 108 people, and an Di-rank warship requires 360 people."

The most powerful celestial-rank warships require at least a thousand people to control.

Based on this calculation, Huang Tiandao must have at least ten thousand members.

It sounds like there aren't many people.

But don't forget, Huang Tiandao is a Tai Chu Realm expert.

The weakest is at the initial stage of the Primordial Realm.

Among them are many high-level experts in the Primordial Realm, and even peak experts at the Primordial Realm Perfection.

There might even be beings among these people who have surpassed the Primordial Realm.

No one knows just how strong the first group of people who came out of the Celestial Realm were.

If the Celestial Realm is truly as legendary, where all beings are immortal, then their strength would likely be beyond comprehension.

Everyone, including the madman from the world of Yinghuo, fell silent.

Do they really have a chance of winning against such a powerful Huang Tiandao?
The madman wanted revenge, while they wanted to reach the heavens alive.

At present, it seems that both of their goals are difficult to achieve.

This time, they were only facing a few dozen red-robed experts from Huang Tiandao.

However, these people are only at the very bottom of the Huangtiandao sect.

It was these lowest-level individuals who nearly caused their complete annihilation.

If Su Mu hadn't broken their battle formation, all of them would have died at the hands of Huang Tiandao and his men today.

"Huang Tiandao is acting perversely; they are making enemies of all living beings in the entire universe."

Zhao Baiqi suddenly spoke up, “If we want to deal with them, we can join forces with others.”

Huang Tiandao has only ten thousand people, but the entire universe contains countless living beings, and the number of powerful beings is countless.

"If we could unite them—" Zhao Baiqi stopped before he could finish speaking.

Without needing anyone to remind him, he knew on his own that this was an impossible task.

First of all, convincing so many people to join forces is almost an impossible task.

Even if it can be accomplished, it's unknown how long it will take to achieve.

The Heavenly Road only lasts for a hundred years each time it is opened.

A hundred years from now, the power on the Heavenly Road will become extremely chaotic, and no one will be able to pass through it anymore.

Therefore, they simply did not have time to unite so many people to deal with Huang Tiandao.

If they were to actually do these things, they would have to give up their journey to the heavens.

But if they gave up on exploring the Heavenly Path, why did they insist on fighting Huang Tiandao to the death?

If they hide, Huang Tiandao might not be able to find them.

As for the madman in the world of Yinghuo, he fell into deep despair.

He wasn't afraid of death; in fact, he wanted to die.

If his death could bring about the downfall of Huang Tiandao, he would do so without hesitation.

His only thought in life now is revenge.

But now he realizes that even if he risks his life, he cannot complete his revenge.

Huang Tiandao is too powerful.

"When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."

Su Mu's gaze swept over the crowd, and unlike their heavy mood, Su Mu's mood was quite relaxed.

"Although Huang Tiandao is powerful, he cannot possibly use all his power against us right away."

We are not worth them doing this.

Su Mu said, "This is our opportunity."

As long as they don't unleash all their forces at once, we can defeat them one by one.

"So, we continue along the road to heaven."

Su Mu said calmly, "This warship is our means of transportation."

On the bright side, with this warship, we won't have to worry about the Void Beasts on the Sky Road, and our travel speed will definitely be greatly increased.

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were silent for a moment, then had to admit that Su Mu's words made some sense.

"I have a question."

Zhang Yunzhou raised his hand and spoke cautiously.

"What's the problem?"

Su Mu asked.

“Zhang Yunzhou, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since we share a common enemy, Huang Tiandao, then we are friends. You can speak your mind directly without being so reserved.”

Su Mu said slowly, "You'll understand later. We don't have many rules. We're just gathered together for a common goal."

If anyone wants to leave, no one will object.

Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Yuan Huaizhou and others nodded in deep agreement.

Only Qian Gongliu curled his lip, but even if Qian Gongliu were asked to leave now, he would not agree.

Why would he risk his life on such a dangerous road?
Why not use the Shetland Sheepdog as a shield?

Since he's already lost face, why not take the opportunity to gain some benefits?
He'd rather be shameless than leave Su Mu's side now.

Zhang Yunzhou looked at Su Mu, then at the others, still somewhat skeptical of Su Mu's words.

He had met many powerful figures, some of whom initially appeared virtuous and righteous.

But soon, their true colors will be revealed.

Who knows if Su Mu is that kind of person too?
Zhang Yunzhou still has some use to him, so he treats Su Mu with great courtesy.

If Zhang Yunzhou really wanted to leave, the other party probably wouldn't have this attitude.

"What I'm trying to say is that Yellow-rank warships can't actually stop Void Dark Beasts."

Zhang Yunzhou took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Some Void Beasts are very powerful; if they attack a warship, they could potentially damage it."

Theoretically, a Yellow-rank warship can only deal with beings at the high level of the Primordial Realm; it cannot handle anything stronger.

"Just like you, even a Yellow-tier warship can't deal with you."

Zhang Yunzhou gave a recent example.

That's Su Mu.

The reason Su Mu was able to capture this warship was because Su Mu was too strong, and also because the warship was too weak.

If a Xuan-rank warship or even a Di-rank warship had appeared here today, Su Mu would never have been able to seize it so easily.

"It's ok."

Su Mu said calmly, "We'll just convert it into a Xuan-rank warship."

"No, no."

Zhang Yunzhou shook his head repeatedly, "I can't do it."

"I can only forge Yellow-rank warships right now; I can't forge Black-rank warships."

"You can't, but I can."

Su Mu said calmly.

"Can you?"

Zhang Yunzhou looked at Su Mu with disbelief. "This is impossible! The method of forging warships is a unique secret of our Eight Trigrams Star. Outsiders could never know it."

This warship has many details inside; it's not as simple as it looks from the outside.

Some weaponsmiths might be able to forge ships that resembled them, but they could never be called warships.

Zhang Yunzhou was full of confidence in their Eight Trigrams Star's warships.

Su Mu smiled slightly.

"If you teach me how to forge warships, I'll know how, right?"

Su Mu said calmly, "I have some foundation in weapon forging techniques, so mastering the method of forging warships shouldn't be difficult for me."

“My lord, I admit that your cultivation level is very high.”

But the methods of warships are definitely not as simple as you imagine.

You might be able to forge some weapons, but warships and weapons are two completely different things; it involves thousands of details.

I can tell you that I learned how to forge warships from my master since I was a child. At first, I just helped my masters forge some small parts.

It took me three hundred years to acquire the ability to independently forge complete warships.

This speed ranks among the top ten in the history of our Eight Trigrams Star.

A hint of smugness flashed across Zhang Yunzhou's face.

Who isn't a genius at some point?
If he hadn't spent so much time on the warship, Zhang Yunzhou might have already reached the advanced stage of the Primordial Beginning Realm.

"Even if I teach you the methods of forging warships, and even if you have some talent, who knows how long it will take you to master the methods of forging warships."

Besides, to forge a Xuan-rank warship, you'd have to surpass me.

Zhang Yunzhou said.

He could afford to wait, but Huang Tiandao wouldn't give them that much time.

It won't be long before Huang Tiandao discovers that something has happened to the warship.

They will definitely send out strong fighters at that time.

Therefore, they must leave here as soon as possible.

"These are not things you need to worry about."

Su Mu said, "Just give me the method for forging the warship. Whether or not I can upgrade this warship to the Xuan rank is something I'll consider."

"you--"

Zhang Yunzhou felt somewhat helpless.

Why won't you listen to advice?
If it weren't for your high level of cultivation, I would have liked to tap your head to see if it was filled with water.

"Ok."

Zhang Yunzhou said that the Eight Trigrams Star is now defunct in name only, and the rule that the method of forging warships must not be passed on to outsiders has long been abolished.

When they fell into Huang Tiandao's hands, Huang Tiandao had already taken away the method of forging warships.

Now that he's passing on the warship forging method to Su Mu, it doesn't count as breaking the sect's rules.

Zhang Yunzhou took out a handwritten manual and handed it to Su Mu.

"This is the method of warship forging. It is a copy of the ancestral method of my sect. If you can comprehend it completely, you can even forge a Heaven-rank warship."

Zhang Yunzhou said.

Su Mu nodded, took it, and immediately began to read it.

Seeing Su Mu flipping through the manual, Zhang Yunzhou couldn't help but feel uneasy.

How can you understand it if you're flipping through it so fast?

The methods of warship forging are exquisite and profound; every word requires careful study and understanding.

Even when he was reading a storybook, he couldn't turn the pages as fast as Su Mu.

It seems that Su Mu was just bluffing and had no intention of actually converting this Yellow-rank warship into a Profound-rank one.

He glanced at Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, and the others, and noticed that there was a hint of anticipation on their faces.

He was somewhat dumbfounded.

Do these people really expect Su Mu to learn how to forge warships?
How could that be possible?
The way he flipped through the book was clearly just going through the motions.

Just then, Su Mu had already flipped through the handwritten manual from beginning to end.

"A masterpiece of divine craftsmanship, truly remarkable."

Su Mu casually returned the handwritten copy to Zhang Yunzhou and praised it.

"Can you learn it?"

Zhang Yunzhou carefully put away the manual and couldn't help but ask.

He felt that he had only asked a pointless question and casually flipped through the manual; how could he possibly have learned it?
A powerful expert at the peak of the Primordial Realm possesses strong divine sense and may be able to memorize the secret manual, but memorizing it and actually learning it are two different things.

"Hold on."

Su Mu said calmly, walked to the side, and sat down directly on the deck.

Judging from his expression, he actually intends to comprehend it on the spot? (End of Chapter)
