Chapter 1058: Crossing the Ocean with a Mission

The aero-ship squadron soared over the vast and boundless ocean, carrying a total of 1,200 members of the Daxun delegation, including security personnel, across thirty-two dirigibles.

Among them were four large airships, twenty-four escort dirigibles, and two medical rescue dirigibles providing safety assurance.

Below, on the ocean's surface, an escort fleet followed, ensuring a flawless journey.

In the spacious and elegant cabin of one of the lead large airships, Chen Chuan sat surrounded by field screens displaying the current status of the dirigibles at various positions.

They were always flying along the newly connected horizon route, so field resources were abundant at the moment.

Chen Chuan poured himself a cup of hot tea and placed a thin, paper-like chip on his boundary talisman. The chip automatically adhered to it.

This was an information package given to him by Xie, the squadron leader, before boarding the airship. It contained numerous messages and instructions that higher-level departments couldn't directly convey, including some that even Xie was unaware of.

His boundary talisman quickly read the information, and after finishing, he took it off. The chip automatically heated up and turned into a lump of charcoal on the table.

The package contained a lot of instructions for his trip, as well as some critical tasks. After all, sending a martial artist abroad for exchange was a rare opportunity, and the capital wanted to take advantage of this trip to accomplish some tasks. Moreover, as a committee member of the Security Affairs Department, he was entrusted with confidential matters.

There were also two secret communication signals and telegraph codes in the package for emergency contact.

Furthermore, the package didn't just ask him to work without offering any benefits. He could fill out a request form, and the higher-level department would provide support within a reasonable range, including cultivation resources. Without hesitation, he completed a form on the spot, requesting cultivation resources from the country.

Of course, the 'reasonable range' would likely be sufficient for an ordinary martial artist but might still be far from enough for him. Still, he was grateful for whatever he could get.

Additionally, there was one piece of information that caught his attention.

He pondered for a moment, realizing that he had already anticipated this possibility and could almost guess that the initiator was Yuanren Company, or at least a part of it.

However, his trip aimed to resolve this issue.

Yuanren Company, as a global giant, possessed formidable military might, not to mention its hidden power. There was no doubt that he was venturing into dangerous territory, but he had his advantages.

First, his status as a member of a state delegation meant the other party couldn't openly use their advanced forces against him; they could only resort to covert means.

This provided him with room to maneuver, and with the Second Self to absorb damage, he could use the Xuejun Blade to split open a path and escape into the rift if faced with extreme danger.

Risk was inevitable; there was no such thing as a foolproof plan. This trip was a test of his abilities.

They were the second batch of visitors this year, and the first batch had already arrived. Some key personnel were already in the Federation.

In fact, this visit was the first large-scale exchange activity since the significant disagreement between the two countries sixty years ago, so both sides attached great importance to it.

Among the delegation, the three martial artists caught his attention, two of whom were from the capital.

He looked at their photos; one was named Wang Tongshan, and the other was Bian Zhijie, aged thirty-one and twenty-seven, respectively. The third martial artist, from He Dongdao, was named Gui Zihan, the youngest at twenty-six.

The common trait among these three was their youth. According to the records, they all achieved the martial artist realm in the last two years, making them all under thirty when they reached this accomplishment.

No wonder they made it onto the invitation list, as the younger one's achievement indicated greater potential for the future.

However, this didn't guarantee that a younger achiever would always reach a higher level. In fact, the growth potential of altered organisms was limited. Some experienced their growth spurt earlier, developing faster initially, while others experienced it later. Without sufficient resources, many lost their chance before reaching their peak.

For those who could advance to higher levels in the martial arts realm, factors like opportunity, strength, background, and connections were all indispensable.

Regarding Tao Huiya's request, if the issue involved these three individuals, he would need to take action. Otherwise, regular armed personnel would be sufficient, and he wouldn't need to get involved.

Chen Chuan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and stood up, walking to the porthole. Outside, clouds drifted backward, and the entire aero-ship squadron maintained a wide distance between each other, spreading out across the sky.

In the distance, another squadron of dirigibles, not any smaller in scale, advanced alongside them.

This is the Linakes Federation's airship fleet, consisting of over twenty airships.

This place is also the forefront of conflicts between the First People and Federation citizens, and various large-scale biological experiment fields are also located here. Compared to this, the chaotic lands within Daxun could be considered pure and innocent.

As they were reviewing the itinerary, on another airship, in a luxurious cabin that had been renovated, two martial artists, Wang Tongshan and Bian Zhijie, who had come from the capital, sat facing each other.

The two were playing cards, surrounded by soothing music, and next to them was a multi-tentacled jellyfish, a gift from the Federation delegation, which was currently participating in the game through the connection of active consciousness.

Bian Zhijie seemed to be having a bit of bad luck. After seeing that this round wasn't going well, he threw down his cards in surrender and pushed the last few chips to his opponent, sighing, "Brother Wang, your luck today is truly amazing. You've won again."

Wang Tongshan smiled slightly, "In that case, I won't hold back." He raised his hand, and the chips floated up, jingling as they fell into the porcelain box on his side. Seeing that he had no intention of continuing, he waved his hand, and the jellyfish obediently retreated to the side.

Bian Zhijie looked outside and happened to see a massive airship. He said, "Is that person over there?"

"Yes."

Wang Tongshan turned to look, "I heard that this person recently won a battle against the Eastern Expedition General Suoku."

Bian Zhijie widened his eyes and gasped, "Eastern Expedition General? Are you sure?"

"Battle reports can't be fake, but they haven't been made public yet," Wang Tongshan paused, his eyes filled with complexity, "and this person is only in their early twenties."

Bian Zhijie was astonished. They both considered themselves outstanding among their peers, and even in the capital, they were relatively rare talents. But in comparison, they seemed like nothing.

Suoku's strength must be at the level of Changsheng Philosophy. If Chen Chuan could defeat him, he himself would likely be at this level as well, which was astonishing. Moreover, this person wasn't just a cultivator who only knew how to practice in seclusion but had numerous actual achievements. When they read some scattered information about him earlier, they were shocked.

In fact, they had to admit that they were no match for this person. One of the other martial artists on the airship had found time to spar with him, and they discovered that this person could almost defeat both of them single-handedly, leaving them speechless and questioning their abilities.

Bian Zhijie said, "It's truly a place for cultivating talent."

"Yes."

Wang Tongshan deeply agreed.

"In the capital, although there seem to be many resources, we're also confined there. We should also find a way to go to the local areas, where there are more opportunities to make achievements and temper ourselves. Moreover, the Great Collision is approaching, and if we don't seize the opportunity to move up, there won't be a chance later."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Bian Zhijie, "Brother Bian, have you made up your mind?"

At this moment, Bian Zhijie smiled triumphantly and said, "There's a vacancy in Shandao recently, and it hasn't been filled yet. After I return this time, I should have enough experience. My family will help me get a position there."

"Shandao, that's not simple..."

Wang Tongshan immediately felt envious. Everyone knew that Shandao would definitely join the Horizon, even though many people opposed it. However, the real upper echelon and insightful people could see the benefits that this would bring, and this trend was unstoppable. The earlier one joined, the greater the benefits.

Even the slight joy from winning the previous game dissipated, and he began to ponder where he should go after returning.

Suddenly, the voices of active consciousnesses around them sounded, "Report, Haidongdao has arrived."

In front of the airship fleet, beneath the clouds, the Anying Archipelago emerged on the sea surface. Numerous airships rose from the islands,

this time, over a hundred combat airships were deployed, apparently to demonstrate to the Federation delegation or to ensure security, occupying almost half of the airspace.

Below, more than twenty battleships also sailed out, and for a moment, the sea and sky were filled with large-scale combat weapons.

Even more eye-catching were the three martial artists standing on the open decks of the airships.
