Chapter 973: Stepping Onto the Eight Wastelands Realm
"We can leave!" Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart. He felt relieved and completely relaxed.
"Yan Di, then let's get started quickly." Lin Feng said with a smile. Yan Di nodded. "Give me some time. Also, if I repair this Void Ship, I will make that woman give it up. I will erase her connection to the Void Ship, and you will claim ownership."
"I will claim ownership?" Lin Feng's eyes flickered, but Qiongqi continued, "I am repairing this Void Ship. I cannot possibly send it back to her. From now on, this Void Ship will be yours, adding an extra layer of security for you. Once you reach the Eight Wastelands Realm, you will likely face dangers not infrequently."
Lin Feng pondered for a moment. If he possessed such a Void Ship, it would indeed be much safer. No wonder Qiongqi had this idea.
"I'll discuss it with her," Lin Feng said. After all, that woman had helped him. Without her, he would have faced considerable trouble when boarding the Purple Jade Warship back then. She had helped him escape the pursuit of the Carefree Sect Leader. He remembered her kindness and had just acted to kill those two men and save her. Now that he wanted her Void Ship, it was only right to inform her.
With that, Lin Feng walked towards the place where the woman was healing. Qiongqi watched Lin Feng's back, his massive eyes flickering, and shook his head slightly. Although he hadn't known Lin Feng for long, he knew this guy was too sentimental. For martial cultivators, that was often not a good thing.
If this Void Ship was already useless on that woman, Lin Feng had saved her and could restore the Void Ship. It was only natural for the Void Ship to belong to Lin Feng. According to his own wishes, he would have simply erased her connection to the Void Ship.
Lin Feng arrived at the cave dwelling. The woman, who was healing, opened her eyes. When she saw Lin Feng, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she asked indifferently, "Is there something?"
"I came to tell you something. I can repair your Void Ship," Lin Feng said to the woman, causing her expression to stiffen. She stared at Lin Feng and said, "Really?"
"En," Lin Feng nodded.
"Then please help me repair it. One day, I will surely repay you heavily."
"I will repair the Void Ship, but I need to erase your connection to it," Lin Feng added.
The woman frowned slightly, then understood Lin Feng's meaning. She nodded. "Alright. If you can repair it and take me to the Eight Wastelands Realm, then you can claim ownership of the Void Ship."
"En. Rest and recover well," Lin Feng nodded to the woman, then left again.
Three days later, at the edge of the desolate island, a figure emerged from the Wasteland Sea and headed towards the central area of the island. By now, Qiongqi had stopped, and the warship was once again radiating the light of Essence.
"Yan Di, is it repaired?" Lin Feng asked.
"You already have control of this Void Ship. Why not try it yourself?" Qiongqi said to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng focused his mind, and instantly, the Void Ship slowly shrank to the size of a palm, flying directly into Lin Feng's hand.
"It must have cost a huge price to refine such a Void Ship," Lin Feng murmured. To forge such a powerful Void Ship would require an extremely skilled artifact refining master, who would also need to be proficient in formations and many other divine abilities. It was very difficult.
"Of course. The person capable of refining such a Void Ship, not to mention their own strength, would have a terrifying network of connections," Qiongqi replied. Lin Feng nodded in agreement. He raised his hand slightly, and the warship floated in the void, instantly expanding into a massive Void Ship.
"This Essence light curtain needs Essence Crystals to activate. Although this Void Ship is very powerful, its consumption is also enormous. You need to be mentally prepared."
"I understand," Lin Feng nodded. It was unlikely that such a terrifying warship could operate without relying on Essence Crystals.
At that moment, footsteps came from afar. Lin Feng and Qiongqi turned around and saw the beautiful woman walking slowly towards them.
"Is the Void Ship repaired?" The woman saw the warship floating in the void, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes. Lin Feng was only at the Second Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm. Judging from the attack power the other day, even if he had concealed his cultivation, he couldn't be much stronger—at most, at the Fourth or Fifth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm. Yet he had killed two experts at the Sixth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm.
Even more shocking was that Lin Feng had actually repaired the Void Ship. Even powerful Venerables couldn't repair such a warship, but Lin Feng, a Heavenly Martial cultivator, had done it. How could she not be astonished?
"I have some special methods that allowed me to repair it," Lin Feng said evasively. He certainly couldn't tell this woman that it wasn't him who repaired the Void Ship, but Qiongqi by his side.
The secret of Qiongqi must never be revealed.
Although the woman was puzzled, she didn't ask further. It was normal for Lin Feng to have some secrets.
"Thank you for saving me. My name is Yang Ziye. You already know my identity. I am from the Yang Clan in the Northern Wasteland. I hope you can take me across this Wasteland Sea and escort me back to the Yang Clan," the woman said to Lin Feng.
"My name is Lin Feng. You have also helped me," Lin Feng nodded to the woman. "I happen to be heading to the Eight Wastelands Realm as well. We can leave this desolate island together."
"Alright. However, people from Nine Dragon Island might try to intercept me in the Wasteland Sea. Although we may not necessarily run into them, we should still be careful. Once we reach the Eight Wastelands Realm, the people from Nine Dragon Island won't dare to do anything to me."
"What kind of force is Nine Dragon Island? Are they also after your special bloodline power? They've been intercepting you since the Purple Jade Warship," Lin Feng probed. He had sent Youyou and the others onto the Nine Dragon Island warship, and he didn't know how they were doing now.
"Nine Dragon Island is a hegemon in the Wasteland Sea. The entire desolate island is named after it and is very famous. The whole island is like a city, with many martial cultivators active on it. Besides the experts of Nine Dragon Island itself, there are also outsiders who go there for trade. These people are often very powerful and carry extremely precious treasures. Once the trade is done, they immediately flee in all directions. In the vast Wasteland Sea, no one can find anyone."
"As for why Nine Dragon Island intercepted me, it's because my Yang Clan has some grievances with them. Additionally, my bloodline power is also a factor."
Yang Ziye explained to Lin Feng. It seemed that Nine Dragon Island was just a major force, not a group of ruthless villains. Youyou and Jun Moxi should be fine. He just didn't know if they had already left Nine Dragon Island for the Eight Wastelands Realm.
Lin Feng could only pray for their good luck and that they had left Nine Dragon Island.
"Let's go," Lin Feng said, not asking further. He stepped forward and boarded the Void Ship.
Qiongqi and Yang Ziye flickered and followed Lin Feng.
With a thought, a light curtain enveloped the Void Ship, and it arced through the desolate island, speeding into the vast Wasteland Sea.
The boundless Wasteland Sea continued to roar fiercely. The endless abyss of desolation carried an unfathomable destructive power. No one knew how terrifying this power of desolation could become. When a truly destructive storm of desolation struck, even the most powerful martial cultivators had to retreat.
A Void Ship shuttling through the vast Wasteland Sea seemed insignificant, like a single grain of sand in the ocean, causing no ripples at all. However, this Void Ship was extremely fast, continuously crossing the Wasteland Sea, speeding towards the direction of the Eight Wastelands Realm.
Standing atop the Void Ship, Lin Feng, Yang Ziye, and Qiongqi looked out at the endless, roaring abyss of destruction before them. Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of insignificance. In the face of the vast power of heaven and earth, his current cultivation and strength still seemed small.
The Void Ship sailed on without encountering any terrifying storms of desolation or any interception from Nine Dragon Island. Finally, seven days later, the Void Ship arrived at one end of the Wasteland Sea: the Eight Wastelands Realm!
