Chapter 488: Chapter 488 Five-star Martial Venerable

The bow was uncontrollably racing towards the dark void, the intense suction of the dark void at the bow certainly far surpassing that at the stern.

Shi Jinsuai had been facing the bow, his back to the dark void. In such a situation, before he could stop the ship, his own body would be sucked over by the powerful suction of the dark void.

Just as Shi Feng said, his best option now was to go to the stern. His body would be further away from the dark void, and if the merchant ship really couldn’t be saved, they could abandon ship and escape.

Actually, these principles were very simple, but Shi Jinsuai’s mind was clouded with panic. After hearing Shi Feng’s words, he no longer hesitated and his figure moved swiftly towards the stern.

Immediately after, Shi Jinsuai’s loud shout rang out in the night sky: "Everyone gather at the stern! Quickly!"

Shi Jinsuai’s side of things, Shi Feng momentarily left alone. His eyes moved, and his gaze once again converged upon the distant sea surface. Since the Source of All Things and the pale white coffin collided with the most violent impact earlier, the two divine grade artifacts had already separated and stared at each other from afar, like two strong opponents.

Because of the stopping of these two artifacts, the thunder in the night sky had also ceased its roaring, and the lightning followed suit by disappearing. The violent tsunamis and waves gradually started calming down.

Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually broke into dawn, while a faint mist rose above the sea. However, the two divine grade artifacts, from that moment till now, remained still, staring at each other silently.

Suddenly, the pale white coffin finally moved. With a swift flight, it transformed into a pale white ray of light, shot towards the dark void, and in an instant, entered the dark void and disappeared into the darkness.

And at that moment, the huge dark vortex on the sea surface, following the entry of the pale white coffin, quickly shrank and closed towards the center.

The Source of All Things, after the pale white coffin moved, still did not stir, nor did it show any intention to stop the coffin. Yet in that moment, the dark void, along with the pale white coffin, completely vanished from the surface of the sea.

The sea surface, once again, became calm. With the disappearance of the dark void, the merchant ship of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building was finally freed from the powerful suction.

Originally, by the combined efforts of the people in the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building, they were still moving towards the dark void, although much slower than before, but still uncontrollably. If this continued, the merchant ship would eventually be sucked into the large dark void.

At this moment, it had finally stabilized. Not only the merchant ship but even the sea surface became calm and tranquil.

And at that moment, the golden orb on the surface of the sea—the Source of All Things—finally began to move. In less than half a breath, before Shi Feng could react, the Source of All Things turned into a ray of golden light, like a golden meteor, shooting into Shi Feng’s chest and disappearing within his body.

No matter how Shi Feng searched, he completely could not find any trace of the Source of All Things on his own body. That object, said to hold the Secret of Becoming a God, just like the Old Master, seemed to vanish suddenly.

But regarding the situation with the Source of All Things, Shi Feng was already very clear and did not get overly entangled!

"Brother Shi!" Just then, from the merchant ship below, Shi Jinsuai’s shout rang out.

Shi Feng looked down to see Shi Jinsuai and a group of martial artists from the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building standing at the stern of the merchant ship. Then, Shi Jinsuai folded his fists and sincerely thanked Shi Feng, "Brother Shi, thank you!"

Shi Jinsuai was sincerely thanking Shi Feng, not only for the multiple times Shi Feng saved him on the Ghost Ship but even just now, without Shi Feng, he would have been sucked into the dark void, and not just him—the merchant ship might well have been lost too.

Shi Feng’s figure moved, landing amidst the martial artists on the deck, in front of Shi Jinsuai, and said, "There’s no need to be so polite. These past few days, I’ve been under your care on your ship. Moreover, saving you was just a matter of convenience for me; it didn’t take much effort."

"Uh..." Shi Jinsuai grunted, initially finding Shi Feng’s words inconsequential, but as he listened more, he couldn’t help feeling there was something strange about it; saving him had been merely incidental and had not taken much effort.

...

After the sea returned to its calm state, the merchant ship’s crew quickly began to weigh anchor and soon, the ship was cutting through the waves of the East Sea once again.

Shi Feng went back to the cabin prepared for him by Shi Jinsuai, immersing himself once more in cultivation.

As for the woman as delicate as a peach blossom, perhaps it was because last time Shi Feng had readied the Blood-colored Stone Stele that had intimidated her, or it might have been for some other reason; in any case, a long period passed where she did not appear on the merchant ship.

Who exactly was this woman, where did she come from, and what was her cultivation? It was now unknown.

The East Sea, the merchant ship, everything had returned to the tranquility of before.

And the origin of the Ghost Ship, with the Ghost Ship sinking and the Divine Grade Coffin entering the Dark Void, the Ghost Ship once again became a mystery.

...

Nighttime, Tianlan Empire, Tianlan Imperial City, Imperial Palace!

Suddenly, a cry rang out within the Imperial Palace of Tianlan Imperial City as though the heavens themselves might collapse, "Disaster! Princess Linglong is missing! Princess Linglong is missing! Notify His Majesty at once! Notify His Majesty!"

"Quick, quick! We must increase the search effort, seal off all exits from the Imperial Palace, secure the gates of every major city in the Tianlan Empire, seal off the Void! We must find Princess Linglong!"

The entire palace immediately plunged into noisy confusion and chaos, a complete flurry as if an earth-shattering event had taken place.

Their princess, Princess Linglong had fled her arranged marriage!

Half a month later, it was the day that one of the top three empires in the Eastern Domain, Tianlan Empire, had set up a platform to invite powerful contenders from all over to compete for the hand of the bride-to-be, the rumored celestial beauty with a national grace and heavenly fragrance – Princess Linglong.

But Princess Linglong was gone!

...

In the midst of the East Sea, the merchant ship of Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building, after traversing the ocean for about three months, had finally entered the territorial waters of Tianlan Empire and sailed into its port.

Soon, the merchant vessel docked at the port of Tianlan Empire. For those three months, Shi Feng had been immersed in cultivation, and in the second month, his Martial Arts Cultivation had advanced to the Five-star Martial Venerable Realm.

From there until the present moment, Shi Feng spent all his time cultivating. However, after entering the Five-star Martial Venerable Realm, the energy required for further advancement had multiplied several-fold. Despite continuous cultivation for the next two months, only about one-quarter of the necessary energy had accumulated in his Dantian for promoting to the Six-star Martial Venerate Realm.

The path of Martial Arts cultivation was indeed long and winding, becoming ever more difficult as one progresses.
