Waiting for the ship

The Green Spider Soul Crystal in Ye Fan's hand should be such a piece of stardust. It's just that this soul crystal was obtained by him, because it didn't fly into the starry sky and became one of the stardust barriers.

He looked at the Spider Emperor Soul Crystal in his hand with some dreaminess, and his mind flew to the past decades ago.

Once upon a time, when Ye Fan was still a young martial artist in Luyang Mansion of Canglan Country, he often sat on the top of the mountain in Luyang Mansion with his friends from the academy and looked at the billions of stardust in the night sky.

At that time, the friends were lying on the lawn on the top of the mountain, all in high spirits, laughing and talking, saying that one day they would become the famous Martial Emperor of the Shenwu Continent, and after death, they would turn into a speck of stardust and fly in the starry sky of the Shenwu Continent, and be admired by all generations.

Unexpectedly, twenty or thirty years later, he would actually have such a "stardust" in his hand today. He was not far away from the realm of the Martial Emperor.

Among the other friends, some like Gu Hanjian are still striving hard on the road of martial arts. They have also become Tiandao Martial King and went to Wenxin Sect to pursue the road of becoming Martial King. Some have already become frustrated and displaced, such as Zhao Feiyang, Sun Zaoli, Feng Shuang and others, and have become one of the mediocre people who have lost their dreams.

Ye Fan woke up from his memories, took a deep breath, and shook his head in a funny way, "Now is not the time to sigh, the time is to break through to the Martial Emperor realm as soon as possible! In the Shenwu Continent, the Martial King stage is only the middle level, and it is still far away from the Martial Emperor. There is a big threshold that has not been passed. Even the top-notch strength of the Martial King realm is still far behind the Martial King and the Beast King, and you may lose your life at any time."

Just for the sake of killing a Green Spider Queen, the entire heavily armored ship, which contained more than 3,000 human martial cultivators, was almost completely wiped out, with more than 90% casualties, and they paid an extremely painful price.

He was also seriously injured and comatose under the impact of the Green Spider Queen's self-explosion. If he hadn't summoned Big Hui in time to rescue him ashore, his chances of survival would have been extremely slim.

He will strive to break through the Martial Emperor realm in one fell swoop within a few years.

"This green spider soul crystal contains extremely huge vitality, as well as the spider soul and the original secret mastered by the green spider queen! This top-level mysterious treasure of the fifth-level emperor cannot be without use. If it can be used , maybe it will be of great help to my cultivation in the Martial King realm!"

Ye Fan couldn't help but think to himself.

It's a pity that Shang is still asleep and unable to ask about the function of this soul crystal.

He could only study the soul crystal by himself first.

Ye Fan sat cross-legged, mobilizing his spiritual thoughts and huge vitality power, trying to enter the Spider Emperor Soul Crystal Core to explore and see what was inside.

But what shocked him was that the Spider Emperor Soul Crystal was extremely strong and could not be penetrated by external forces of spiritual energy.

At the beginning, he didn't dare to use violence, just a slight test of strength.

But later on, he was horrified that no matter whether it was the violent thunder bombardment, the sharp thrust of the ice pick, the sharp cutting of the wind blade, or even the powerful slashing with the Martial Emperor's sword, they could not leave any trace on the surface of the soul crystal.

This soul crystal is incredibly strong, comparable to the top fifth-level mysterious weapon.

Ye Fan tried every means, but could not open the Spider Emperor Soul Crystal, and was finally forced to give up.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It seems that we still have to wait until Shang wakes up and ask how to use this Spider Emperor Soul Crystal. What can this Soul Crystal be used for? It is a fifth-level treasure that was obtained with great difficulty at the risk of his life. But we can't just leave it like this without any effect."

…

"After practicing on the top of this ice and snow lake for many days, I have mastered the use of the three vitality. It's time to go to Blackwater Bay! I guess it's time for Xinyue to go to Blackwater Bay too!"

Ye Fan stood on the top of the mountain facing the wind, looking at the west of the ice and snow lake peak with a solemn expression.

To the east of the Ice Lake Peak is a hundred miles of dark forest, while to the west is the Blackwater River at the foot of the mountain.

This roaring black water river is turbulent and fast, and the wind in the sky is fierce, like a billion-mile mosasaur python across the earth, rushing in a distant direction.

In this chaotic land of Zhongzhou, almost all the territory is occupied by different large and small forces. There are numerous beast races, as well as ghost races, spirit races, and even human races. Powers change very frequently.

The weakest ones are also the king-level forces, and there are many emperor-level forces.

Just like the tens of thousands of miles of dark forest near Xuefeng, there are a large number of beast kings and beast tribes. Anyone who attempts to pass through the dark forest will be fiercely hostile and attacked by them.

There are many places like dark forests in Zhongzhou.

If you want to walk across from the ground, you will have to fight all the forces in most of the Central Province to reach Blackwater Bay.

Even a beast king like the mammoth Big Hui can dominate a place in tens of thousands of miles of dark deep forest and make all beasts surrender. But when you leave this place, you will soon encounter a larger imperial force, encounter countless challenges, and be unable to smoothly pass through the territory of other emperors.

So no one goes to Blackwater Bay by land.

Of course, no one is stupid enough to fly across the sky. It has simply become a target within the sight of all living beings, and they can be attacked at any time. Unless they are the Sky Beast Kings and Emperors, who have extremely powerful combat power in the sky, the sky is a restricted area for all races.

The only road is the Blackwater River.

The seemingly dangerous Blackwater River has become the only safe passage in the Zhongzhou Continent due to its extremely harsh environment.

The Blackwater River does not belong to any force, and no one can occupy the Blackwater River. Those large and small forces that occupy the land of Zhongzhou will not easily approach the Blackwater River, let alone enter the water.

The heavily armored ship built by the human race with a lot of money, and relying on the natural dangers of the Blackwater River, can safely cross the long border of Zhongzhou and reach the heart of Zhongzhou - Blackwater Bay.

Although there are water monsters in the Blackwater River, the number is small and it is difficult to break through the hard outer armor of heavy ships from the outside.

Relying on the strong ships and sharp guns of the heavily armored ships, it is enough to carve out a bloody path.

"But... there is no boat!"

Ye Fan looked at the surging black water river at the foot of the mountain and smiled helplessly.

The road is at the foot of the mountain.

But he didn't have a boat.

Without the powerful defense of a heavily armored ship, unless one has the powerful cultivation of a Martial Emperor, they will not be able to stay on the Blackwater River. There is no way to go to Blackwater Bay by taking advantage of the natural dangers of the Blackwater River.

"It seems we have to wait a while. I don't know how long it will take for a ship to pass by. But this is an important trade route in Zhongzhou. At the latest, every ten days or half a month, there should be another heavy-armored giant ship passing through this area. , I will find a way to get on the boat halfway! This is the only way to get to Blackwater Bay."

Ye Fan thought.

He could only wait patiently on the snowy peak while continuing to practice martial arts and vitality combat skills to stabilize his late stage martial king state.

His breakthrough in cultivation was too fast. From the early to the middle stage of King Wu, and even to the late stage of King Wu, the time span only took four or five years, and his realm was not stable. As long as you have time, spend it on cultivation.
