Chapter 1139: Chapter 720: The Black Ship and the People on Board_2 Chapter 1139: Chapter 720: The Black Ship and the People on Board_2 Piercing through the void was simple, but the difficulty lay in ensuring that the surrounding space remained unchanged.
Cracks spread out on both sides, eventually taking the shape of a colossal gateway.
Then, Jiang Hui rose to his feet and stepped forward, covering countless miles in one stride, directly entering the fissure.
The scenery before his eyes changed rapidly.
A thick black mist, like fog, rushed toward his face.
Looking back, he had already arrived within an Alien Territory.
Two worlds, completely different Boundary Walls and World Rules seemed non-existent to him, as if he were entering a land without owners.
After reaching the Emperor Realm, Jiang Hui no longer needed an Exotic Portal to easily achieve this step.
He sensed the coordinates he had left behind.
With long strides, he moved on.
Soon.
Range upon range of continuous mountains suddenly appeared within Jiang Hui's field of vision.
In them, one could vaguely see pavilions and towers full of ancient charm, hanging like shrubs on partially sheared peaks.
And within those Green Mountains, the sounds of beasts roaring and birds chirping never ceased.
Jiang Hui did not show himself immediately.
With a gaze sharp enough to pierce through anything, he swept through the Dominion Beast Sect up and down, gaining a clear understanding of this power's developmental progress during this time.
After millions of years, the [Dominion Beast Sect] had developed quite well.
There were some Heavenly Prides with barely acceptable talents, and the sect's sphere of influence had also expanded a bit, with some strong individuals added to the sect.
However, calling it a leap in development or a qualitative improvement would be an overstatement.
After all, the [Dominion Beast Sect] was originally just a small sect, and its current progress owed much to Jiang Hui clearing out the other forces within tens of thousands of miles before he left.
The one with the greatest increase in strength was Shangguan Yi.
Originally at the True One Realm, he had now reached the Immortal realm, becoming the strongest in the Dominion Beast Sect, and the strongest in the surrounding area.
After a moment, Jiang Hui's figure directly landed in the main hall of the Dominion Beast Sect.
Inside the hall, majestic and spacious, someone was sitting cross-legged at the foremost seat, eyes firmly closed.
Such a disturbance naturally caught the attention of the people in the hall.
Feeling the figure approaching slowly, Shangguan Yi's pupils suddenly narrowed.
Had it not been for this person who had reached him, to be honest, he might not have noticed even now.
A strong individual.
Absolutely a powerful being.
He had ascended to Immortality, and the other party was able to approach him silently, indicating that the other party might also be an Immortal, or even stronger; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to do this.
“How so, you don't recognize me?”
Jiang Hui, with his hands clasped behind his back, walked neither too briskly nor too slowly, but in just a few steps, he had already reached Shangguan Yi's presence.
This was a Foreign Heavenly Pride; otherwise, he wouldn't have achieved the Immortal realm, equivalent to an Immortal King. In the Alien Territory, he was already considered a strong figure.
Indeed, it was the existence of this person that allowed the Dominion Beast Sect to firmly control the territory spanning tens of millions of miles.
Millions of years had not been seen, and even to an Immortal, that seemed far too long.
Ever since he had dominantly suppressed the entire sect and stripped the Master of the Holy Land of his title with an unrivaled strength, the man before him had seemingly vanished from the Mortal World. However, no matter how many years had passed, in Shangguan Yi's eyes, the former was indisputably the rightful Sect Master of the Dominion Beast Sect. Without him, the Dominion Beast Sect would have existed in name only.
Jiang Hui's expression remained unchanged, merely nodding lightly.
After a few simple exchanges, he suddenly pointed at the other's forehead,
In an instant.
Shangguan Yi felt a myriad of images flow before his eyes.
At first, it was interesting.
But gradually, his expression turned to astonishment, shock.
And finally, it was filled with deep resentment, anger.
The image was none other than the true face of the Alien Territory.
Only after stepping into the Emperor Realm could he conjure it as easily as waving his hand.
After a long while, shock rippled through Shangguan Yi's heart.
They had always thought that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had occupied their original homeland, but it turned out to be a conspiracy by those Immortal Kings.
From beginning to end, Shangguan Yi never doubted the authenticity of that image.
As for why…
He didn't know himself.
He just believed unconditionally.
Jiang Hui, of course, knew why.
Although factions are divided in many ways, belief is not. It doesn't care about right or wrong, black or white, justice or evil, it's simply a matter of presence or absence, especially since this belief exists uniquely.
Creatures from the Lower Realm Eight Domains, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Immortal Domain… even those from the Burying Ground could become his followers, so naturally the Alien Territory could as well.
“Sect Master, please rest assured, even if my strength is inferior, I will resist the temptations of those Dark Kings with all I have!”
Although Jiang Hui hadn't spoken yet, Shangguan Yi had already come to a realization and spoke with utmost seriousness.
He couldn't control, nor did he have the right to, those kings who had fallen into darkness; but they should have never, ever used them as living targets.
If they couldn't reap the benefits, why should they bear the consequences? They weren't even descendants of the Imperial Clan; once war broke out, they would be at the mercy of that group of emperors.
After a few days.
With this, the added Experience Points should be even more, right?!
Jiang Hui sighed inexplicably;
He himself had long been starved for Experience Points, otherwise he wouldn't have resorted to such methods…
Clouds drifted slowly; the setting sun dipped below the horizon, the afterglow gradually fading.
In the blink of an eye.
Several months had passed since the last great battle.
For mortals, a few months might feel like nothing, unable to sense the passage of time, not to mention cultivators who had lifespans starting at ten thousand years.
The Immortal Domain remained silent as ever.
Except in one place.
Divine Might Hall.
The force established by the Divine Might Immortal King.
One of the Immortal Taoist Sects of the Immortal Domain.
Somehow, a colossal stone statue had been erected, towering majestically, piercing the clouds, as if an unimaginable ancient deity were overlooking all living beings.
Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jing Bi, after much consideration, left the village with Shi Hao.
An ancient ship, pitch black throughout, glided slowly from outside the Immortal Domain, like a ghost, eerily silent.
The weathered sails had long ago become tattered from the ravages of time; the deck was pocked with holes, stained with the blood of unidentified creatures. The stains seemed old, but still glistened crimson and jade as if they had just been spilled.
The Black Ship approached leisurely, using the void of ten thousand li as its waves, eventually coming to rest before the royal city, as if it had lost all power, suspended in place.
This situation immediately caught the attention of many.
“It's that Ancient Ship, its origin still unknown, said to have been wandering the Boundary Sea for a long time, as if searching for something.”
Someone recognized the ship and explained to those around them, having seen it before in the Boundary Sea.
The Boundary Sea, if one only wandered near the edge and did not stay for long, one would not lose oneself and could find the way back.
Some creatures were puzzled, as they had once explored this ship, and though it harbored great oddities, it posed no danger, and with no one steering, it was unknown how it managed to escape from the Boundary Sea.
Especially since it had ended up suspended above the Holy Land.
Could this mysterious ship of unknown origin be related to the Master of the Holy Land?
Many speculated, though they doubted this possibility was high,
because some beings had once gone to the edge of the Boundary Sea and discovered these strange black ships, more than one, drifting in the Boundary Sea forever without daylight. If it were related to the Master of the Holy Land, it should not be hovering outside the Holy Land.
The ship held some secrets, yet some who had studied it found they had no relation to increasing their strength, so most often they simply considered it a ghost ship to be avoided.
Many creatures watched the movements of the Black Ship from the shadows.
However, for several consecutive days, nothing unusual happened aboard the eerie Black Ship.
