Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 657: Chapter 41 West Sea_4 Chapter 657: Chapter 41 West Sea_4 Upon hearing Liang Zhongkang’s words, Deacon Shi’s expression immediately turned dark.

Xi Wushang hesitated slightly, but Ji Yuan laughed heartily and said:

“Nephew Liang might have underestimated Deacon Shi too much.

This is merely a Spirit Boat; the path we are taking is extremely narrow and winding, with a very fast current.

If we were to take a big boat, we wouldn’t be able to traverse it at all…

Deacon Shi, am I right?”

Deacon Shi hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he nodded his head.

With just a few words and laughs, they easily smoothed over the brewing conflict.

Wang Ba couldn’t help but take a second look at this burly man with a blade.

...

Seemingly noticing Wang Ba’s gaze, the man turned his head, and upon seeing Wang Ba, he became slightly startled.

Immediately, he smiled and gave Wang Ba a slight nod, his rugged face full of goodwill and easygoing charm.

Wang Ba hurriedly responded with a smile.

Although not entirely satisfied by Ji Yuan’s words, Liang Zhongkang also followed suit and squeezed onto the boat.

Fifteen cultivators were crammed into this incredibly narrow boat.

Regardless whether it was Xi Wushang or Ji Yuan, they both remained calm, as if all of this was nothing out of the ordinary for them.

Seeing that everyone was on board, Deacon Shi finally started explaining:

“Everyone, the vessel we are riding is called the ‘Iron Ray Boat’, we’re about to traverse through a geographical passage.

This passage coincidentally leads to the West Sea Country, which will save us several months of travel.

However, make sure to hold on tight later.

Although the Iron Ray Boat is extremely sturdy, accidents might still happen.”

The geographical passage is beneath us?

Wang Ba was somewhat surprised.

Now having cultivated for quite some time and having seen more of the world, he wasn’t too unfamiliar with the ‘geographical passage’.

Within the continent, there are crisscrossing ley lines that act as support.

Once these ley lines are damaged, the land will collapse, forming either a hollow or a lake.

The ley lines are mysterious and intertwined.

There have been cultivators who mistakenly entered a ley line entrance and within one night found themselves tens of thousands of miles away.

This is the result of the continuous underground movement of the ley lines.

As this method practically does not deplete any resources and allows one to traverse great distances in a short amount of time, some people have tried to replace the Teleportation Array with it.

Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to capture the steady state of the ley lines, the exit might be here today, and tens of thousands of miles away tomorrow.

The unpredictability is far too great, thus, it was abandoned by the cultivators.

Surprisingly, Deacon Shi was planning to use this geographical passage to transport everyone to the West Sea Country.

“Why not take the direct Teleportation Array instead?”

Liang Zhongkang, having just boarded the boat, couldn’t help but question again.

This time, it was Ji Yuan who explained:

“The further the distance, the greater the consumption of the Teleportation Array, which increases at an alarming rate.

Although it can be done in multiple trips, our mission is not time-sensitive, so there’s no need nor waste of resources for the Teleportation Array.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Zhongkang grumbled a bit and stopped talking.

Soon, all the cultivators sank rapidly into the black trench at the bottom of the lake, wrapped in the Iron Ray Boat.

The initial stage was extremely narrow, enough to allow the boat to pass.

Jagged crags crossed the dark trench.

Only a few fish could be seen in the surroundings.

Descending slowly with the current for more than one shichen.

Finally, Wang Ba suddenly felt the boat shaking.

“Hold on!”

Deacon Shi shouted in a low voice.

Wang Ba quickly channeled the Mother Qi of Dharmas into his palm subconsciously, tightly gripping the edge of the boat.

Despite this, both Xi Wushang and Ji Yuan had already used their mana to envelop the boat from the outside.

Quickly, the small boat began to shake violently, sinking downwards.

Water around them suddenly started rushing.

In just a few breaths, the water flow went from rapid to explosive!

Bang!

Following the water flow, the boat sped through an empty but filled with stalactite-like channel as if flying!

A multitude of air bubbles rose from behind after being struck.

While Deacon Shi controlled the boat, he navigated through the channel seemingly like a fish in the water, proceeding freely.

What slightly caught Wang Ba’s attention was that next to Deacon Shi, a figure from Xi Wushang’s team was squeezing next to him, closely monitoring every move Deacon Shi made.

This person was quite peculiar, his whole body seemed to be in constant motion, but upon careful observation, you would reveal that his every move perfectly followed every tremor, movement, and change of direction of the boat, completely in sync.

“Lou Yi from Qianliu Peak?”

Wang Ba quickly guessed the person’s identity.

In Xi Wushang’s team, there were only six people in total, it could be guessed by the process of elimination.

However, he was a bit curious about the nature of the other party’s heritage.

He didn’t know how long had passed.

Even though all the cultivators on the boat were capable of enduring for a long time, they couldn’t help but feel a little tired.

At this time, Deacon Shi spoke again.

“Hold on!

We’re about to get out!”

As soon as he finished speaking,

Wang Ba noticed that Lou Yi, who was next to Deacon Shi, was moving fluidly, like water.

At this very moment.

A violent shaking was transmitted, almost sending everyone flying.

Only Deacon Shi and Lou Yi seemed unaffected, they sat steadily on the boat.

However, the shaking came fast and left as quickly.

In just the blink of an eye, the speed of the boat drastically slowed down.

The flow of water around them also slowed down rapidly.

After slowly advancing through the narrow and winding underwater tunnel for more than one shichen.

Finally, in Wang Ba’s field of vision, he saw a glimmer of light.

“We have arrived at the West Sea Country.”

Before the words had fallen, under the control of Deacon Shi the boat traversed the underground currents, and in one fell swoop, it emerged out of the water’s surface.
