Conspiricy.
Alex's concern for Old Chang was evident as he rushed to his side. The old man was battered, his injuries extensive. A golden smoke emerged from him, coalescing into a smaller manifestation of the Golden Dragon Jianglong.
"Kid, look after this brat for me. He'll need rest to recover," the dragon communicated, its regal presence commanding respect.
"Elder Chang, he needs res—" Alex attempted to interject, but the dragon preemptively interrupted.
"I'll rest for a while. Don't worry about me, Zhi Li. Jianglong Tianxia, thank you for this," Old Chang expressed gratitude towards the dragon.
"Hmph, what could you possibly give me? Return to your realm, then come back to challenge me, kid," Golden Dragon Jianglong's words held an air of dismissiveness as it ascended like a shooting star.
"You're alright, Elder Chang?" Alex inquired, his concern evident.
"Yes... cough... cough... cough... cough... cough... I'm fine. I just need some rest," Old Chang assured, his voice strained.
"I'll take you to a city I know, Elder Chang. Do you have the miniature boat you used to bring us here?" Alex's determination to help was palpable.
"Ha...ha...ha... Yes, here," Old Chang accessed his storage ring, conjuring a small toy boat. Alex observed, recognizing the storage mechanism from his past life.
"Take it," Old Chang commanded, infusing energy into the object. "Eclipse," he muttered, followed by "Smaller." The boat transformed with a loud explosion.
A staircase materialized, and Old Chang guided Alex up to the boat, his energy waning.
"Let's head over there," Alex pointed towards a door, signaling his intention.
Old Chang Nodded, they went towards a cabin, Alex entered and almost popped his eyes open, he saw the sail, behind sail was circular things that reminded him of sailors ships in his past life...
"Where do you want to go." Old Chang asked.
"Outskirts of the Western Continent, from there i will take the sail and navigate us to the city we are going to" Alex said this.
Old Chang Nodded and put his hand on Alex'es forehead, Suddenly Alex Got many information about ship and hot to drive it.
Old Chang pulled his hand up and poured some golden energy into the circular mechanism behind.
"You—can—control the sail" Old Chang said this before succumbing to fatigue, collapsing. he needed to rest, Old Man was tired.
"Old man's really drained," Alex supported him, gently arranging him on the cushioned seat.
The boat advanced under Alex's guidance, taking them towards the Western Continent Outskirts. As they sailed, Alex pondered the peculiar mechanics of the boat, which bore an uncanny resemblance to the ships he remembered from his previous life. He was extremely confused, Alex looked around to see metal structures, he looked at one of them, it was the circular structure where Old Chang poured his energy to, it resembled the cars in his past life that were on battery, there was a big circle in the dome filled with Golden Energy, He looked at other things, most of the showed numbers that Slex recognized as the coordniates, He was really confused now, this people actually created this? he would not believe it no matter what.
"(Is this truly a coincidence? If not, then it implies that there was some external influence...)," Alex's thoughts raced as he considered the inexplicable technology before him. His contemplation delved into the realm of extraterrestrial possibilities, sparking ideas that both intrigued and confused him.
"(If the carvings were real, and the scrolls were blueprints, did aliens bestow this knowledge upon this world? But if that's the case, why is the technology in this world so primitive?, they could have used knowledge from the technology they got from the Aliens to advance the age of Technology here, building ships like this recquire immense knowledge on the builders part, one mistake and it will fall apart, so i don't understand why the technology in this world on so low level, it just doesn't make sense. even if they were trying to hide the modern technology they had different sects would definetely reveal something at least once, but there is no saying about anything i have ever read, Cultivators Don't have idea, so why are they hiding it... Man this is confusing as hell. If monopoly of the technolpgy is in the play here then Little Sects Shouldn't have this, i will investigate this before i return to the Eastern Continent be it knowledge it is something i need to figure it out.)" Alex grappled with the enigma, seeking a plausible explanation.
"(I'm overthinking this. It's just a theory)," he chided himself, acknowledging the speculative nature of his thoughts.
He stretched out on the cushion, exhaustion overtaking him as he drifted into slumber.

Three hours later, a deafening explosion jolted Alex awake. Instinctively, he leapt to his feet, scanning his surroundings for the source of the disturbance. Something was pulling at the ship, causing it to sway dangerously.
"Octopus?! [MOUNTAIN SHATTER FIST (10 MOUNTAINS) MAX]!" Alex roared, unleashing his powerful punch.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The monstrous creature's tentacles met their doom, disintegrating under the onslaught.
But the octopus was relentless, its appendages multiplying in response. The ship groaned as the colossal limbs pounded it.
"Motherfucker!" Alex continued to strike, but his efforts seemed futile against the onslaught.
Observing the ship's damage, Alex hatched a plan. With a determined leap, he plunged into the sea.
Below the surface, Alex encountered the gargantuan octopus. He unleashed a series of powerful punches, obliterating its tentacles one by one.
Yet, the creature's roar echoed, and more appendages sprouted. One swung towards Alex, but he deflected it, though the impact caused his bones to crack.
"[MOUNTAIN SHATTER PUNCH (10 MOUNTAINS) MAX]!" Alex retaliated, shattering the monster's face.
As the battle raged, Alex's thoughts shifted. The octopus held secrets, and upon its defeat, something unexpected emerged.
--
Yet, Alex retaliated with unparalleled strength, shattering the monster's face and finally silencing its attack.
As the waters calmed, Alex spotted an unexpected development.

[Congratulations!!! You have eliminated a Soul Gathering Realm(Old) Creature.
+Muntain Shatter Technique has evolved]

Alex looked infront of him with Joy.
