Chapter 297: Cangwu Spiritual Ship (Combined Chapter)
"Alright, the following are the names of one hundred and fifty disciples who will travel to Yan State with us."
"Those whose names are not mentioned will remain here and wait."
"Later, an elder will arrange tasks for you. After some time, you'll be heading with the cultivators of the small forces in Qingzhou; it's just a matter of time."
Master Changfeng laid out the general arrangements. As for more specific plans, they might be revealed during the journey or upon arrival.
"Disciples obey!"
The cultivators in the dojo replied in unison.
Seeing this, Master Changfeng began to call out the names of the cultivators one by one, speaking steadily without repetition, listing a total of one hundred and fifty names.
Liu Yu, Jiang Qiushui, Yan Kai, and Cui Liang were among them; it was unclear if it was fortunate or unfortunate.
As each name was called, the two hundred foundation establishment cultivators were divided into two distinct groups: one with one hundred fifty members and the other with fifty.
Notably, the cultivators among the three heroes and four talents, such as Zhao Wujie, Zhou Zhuofeng, Bai Yuxuan, and Qin Qing, were also assigned to the first group of one hundred fifty.
It seemed that the sect was taking this matter with unprecedented seriousness, with Master Changfeng personally overseeing it; no connections would be of help here.
Liu Yu thought to himself.
"It's about time; let’s set off."
The ten Golden Core Elders nodded at each other, and finally, Master Changfeng took out a silver flying ship-like magical artifact.
"Cangwu Ship!"
Cui Liang whispered.
Liu Yu, Jiang Qiushui, and Yan Kai turned their gaze toward the sound.
"Does Senior Brother Cui know the significance of this magical treasure? Please enlighten us," Yan Kai asked.
Liu Yu's expression shifted; he had heard of the ship's great name but was seeing it for the first time.
This magical artifact appeared to be one that could fly swiftly, but its miraculous effects were unknown to him, so he looked to Cui Liang for an explanation.
Cui Liang, having been a foundation establishment cultivator the longest, naturally knew more about the sect's situation.
"This spiritual ship is named Cangwu Ship, crafted by the sect to respond to special situations, capable of traveling forty thousand miles in a day."
"From the North Sea in the morning to resting at Cangwu in the evening, such swift speed is where the name Cangwu comes from."
"Moreover, this spiritual ship can carry hundreds of cultivators, and its defense is comparable to that of defensive magical treasures."
"With hundreds aboard, safety is greatly increased; if we encounter an attack midway, we won't end up with destroyed ships and lost lives."
"With the Cangwu Ship, any issues in Qingzhou can be resolved within half a day, greatly stabilizing the situation and forcing those with ulterior motives to hide in the shadows."
Cui Liang spoke with a hint of excitement, and pride crept into his tone, seemingly looking down on the forces undermining Qingzhou's stability and opposing the Yuan Yang Sect's rule.
"That said, the Cangwu Ship truly qualifies as a strategic item, its importance surpassing that of ordinary magical treasures," Yan Kai exclaimed.
As the several of them exchanged quiet words, Master Changfeng tossed the Cangwu Ship into the air.
The magical artifact expanded against the wind, transforming into a massive object in just half a breath, though it appeared "petite" compared to the Return to Origin Boat.
It measured about ten zhang in length and approximately three zhang in width and height, designed aerodynamically to effectively reduce air resistance, thus enhancing speed and reducing consumption of magical power and spiritual power.
The surface shimmered with a faint silver spiritual light, and the ship's body was engraved with divine spirits representing speed, such as the Tianfeng and Kunpeng, making it look exceptionally exquisite and unmistakably extraordinary.
The ten elders landed on the deck of the spiritual ship, and one elder known to Liu Yu, surnamed Ma, spoke in a deep voice:
