However, Yu Nantian was still cautious. He did not land the Void Traveller immediately, but instead, let it float at 500 to 600 feet in mid-air, so he could give it a thorough examination. After checking, he landed the craft.

“So meticulous but lacking in confidence, he will never achieve anything great!” Great Dark Lord Du said harshly after seeing Yu Nantian’s actions. He had already lost interest in Yu Nantian, who was supposed to be the next rising star of the Yu family from Divine Wind Palace.

After carrying out a careful survey of the area for some time, Yu Nantian finally let the Void Traveller land on the island. The landing place Yu Nantian had chosen was a beach. This was an island built from volcano lava. Hence, there was a thick coat of tephra all around, and the sand was very soft and fine.

The space boat came to a halt, but Yu Nantian did not move. He just stood there, as if he was waiting for something to happen.

“Young Master Yu, we have already landed. Should we look into repairing the Void Traveller?” Seeing Yu Nantian standing motionless, Great Dark Lord Du stepped forward and asked.

“Oh, there is no rush, not everyone is here yet!”

“Not everyone is here?” Great Dark Lord Du was taken aback at first, then later he understood what he meant. He laughed, “Young Master Yu, I don’t think anyone else is coming. We have already indicated our intent to use this place temporarily to fix the boat. We are only passing by, so no one will be coming out to greet us. Situations like this happen all the time!”

“Really?” Yu Nantian apparently did not think that Great Dark Lord Du would be so blunt and did not take his word seriously.

“Yes, it’s true!” An expert from the Divine Wind Palace who was listening to their conversation, opened his mouth to reiterate this point. “The owner of the island was initially against us fixing the boat here, but he gave in on account of Zhou Bao’s power. His self-esteem has already been badly damaged, why would he still be willing to appear in front of us!”

“Yu Nantian didn’t believe that until he heard what the expert said. He could not conceal the blush that spread over his face and said, “Since that’s the case, let’s begin the repairs!”

“After speaking, he turned around and said to those that were still on the Void Traveller, “Everyone, I’m really sorry. The Void Traveller is a secret asset belonging to my family. Now that it needs to be repaired, there are some secrets that should not be revealed to outsiders. Hence, I hope that everyone can disembark before we proceed!”

The remaining 11 people exchanged glances with each other, each indicating that they understood what was behind the meaning of Yu Nantian’s appeal. They jumped off the vessel at the same time. After that, a hazy layer of golden light covered the whole vessel, preventing all from seeing what was going on inside.

“He thinks all of us have the same attitude, that is probably due to his suspicious mind!” one of the experts from Snow Mountain Great Wheel Temple snorted coldly when he heard Nantian’s request

“Shut up, this is his family secret, it is only right that we are not supposed to see it!” At these words, the leading monk’s expression changed and he and snorted loudly. However, judging by his expression, this monk shared the same sentiments regarding keeping the secrets of the family away from prying eyes.

Zhou Bao was not interested in getting involved with the dispute. He left the crowd and started walking along the sandy beach.

Taking a walk along the beach was something he had always wanted to do in his past life. But he was always busy with work and never had the luxury to do so. After entering this world, he was even busier than before and still did not have the time to indulge in this sort of leisure activity. Who would have thought that he would have the time to do so now.

The thick layer of tephra on the beach was soft and very comfortable to walk on. Leaving a trail of footprints behind, Zhou Bao walked for some time. He carefully observed the island and realized that the island did not have that many visitors. There were also not many living things, either. The whole place gave off a deadly vibe. Although it had more essence of the world than the Seven-deity Regions, this place was far from being a Fairyland or Cave Paradise.

A place like this was not appealing. He had no idea why the owner of the island chose this place as his dwelling.

“He must be not a powerful person. If not, he wouldn’t have chosen such a lousy place!” Zhou Bao thought silently to himself, finally getting rid of some of the fears that were dwelling in his heart.

Their coming over like this was quite dangerous. The owner may have been aware that Zhou Bao was too powerful to be his match. But he could still set up traps around the island and let them fall into it.

They had no idea how long the current owner had taken over the island, and whether there were any ambushes awaiting them. Getting off the boat like this was not safe at all.

This was a dangerous place!

Zhou Bao knew that it was a dangerous place and he believed that Great Dark Lord Du was aware of this too. But just like him, Great Dark Lord Du did not prevent them from landing here, but even suggested that this be done, to as to show off his power in order to let the Void Traveller descend. And why was that?

Did he really want to watch Yu Nantian intervene and destroy him using the power of the island?

But was it too early to get rid of him?

Zhou Bao turned around with furrowed brows. He took a look at the golden light emitting from the Void Traveler, and then saw that Great Dark Lord Du was walking towards him. Great Dark Lord Du had a broad smile on his face as he headed for Zhou Bao.

“How is it, are you interested in the boat?!”

“Yes, you are right, I’m indeed interested. Zooming through 80,000 miles in the blink of an eye, even a Genuine Immortal wouldn’t be able to do that right? Or is the boat a fairy weapon?”

“Of course not, the Void Traveller is only a Pure Yang Celestial Device. If you were to talk about its level, it is not even worth the one in my hand. But the materials used to build it, the formation drawn on the boat, and all the different structures are a hundred times more valuable than any Pure Yang Celestial Device!”

“I don’t understand!”

“Hehe, this is a Pure Yang Celestial Device that has been made in the likes of the Supreme Fairy Weapon. It has many uses, such as strong attacking power, non-comparable defense power, and the ability of traveling through space and self-creation of space on the inside. It is not a normal space, but a space suitable for human survival. This kind of celestial device could put a Genuine Immortal to death just by using its own strength. These are all the legendary uses of a Supreme Fairy Weapon. For a Pure Yang Celestial Device like this, it is also known as a Highest Heaven Celestial Device!”

“Highest Heaven Celestial Device?!” Zhou Bao had never heard of this name, even Green Spirit had never mentioned it to him before. Now, hearing about this new device from Great Dark Lord Du, he was a bit surprised.

“Strictly speaking, Highest Heaven Celestial Device is a type of Pure Yang Celestial Device. In essence, it is derived from Pure Yang Celestial Devices, produced by necromancers from ancient times by copying the traits of Supreme Fairy Weapon. But there were very few that succeeded. Even if they did, there were too many sacrifices involved. For example, it is said that the Yu family melted six Pure Yang Celestial Devices to build the whole structure of the Void Traveller. The interior structure required additional efforts as well. The most tedious part is that it requires a very strong moving force. Unlike a normal celestial device that can move just by using Real Essence Internal Qi, this Void Traveller has its own source for the moving force. This source remains the biggest mystery of all time, and the answer lies in the hands of a few necromancers. Today, it is extremely difficult to even locate one of them!” Speaking of necromancers, Great Dark Lord Du shook his head. “Look, they told us to get off just because they are repairing space boat. They are afraid that we will discover the secret of the moving force.”

Zhou Bao did not think much about the Void Traveller. Although he was amazed at its power, he did not expect that its history would be so strange and complex.

“A Pure Yang Celestial Device designed to imitate a Supreme Fairy Weapon?!” He was aware of Supreme Fairy Weapon, which was of a level higher than Taihao Fairy Weapon and Heavenly Fairy Weapon. He did not understand how they functioned before, but now, after seeing the Highest Heaven Celestial Device the Void Traveller, he finally did.

“Right, this type of Highest Heaven Celestial Devices are made by copying the traits of Supreme Fairy Weapon. However, since they are not fairy weapon and the artwork and technical components are so complicated, most of it has been lost amidst the passing down of the art long ago. This Void Traveller has passed down from ancient times. Legend has it that it was a temporary transport mode for the Jade Emperor. The Yu family was well-known for the fact that they knew how to operate and refuel the power source. If the source was out of order, then the boat would be no different from any regular boat!”

“Jade Emperor from ancient times, does this mean that the Yu family is really the successor of the Emperor?” Zhou Bao asked.

“Successor of the Jade Emperor? What nonsense! it is just the Yu family trying to associate themselves with royalty. Would the Jade Emperor even use a Pure Yang Celestial Device? Even if it’s just for transportation, he should sit on a Supreme Fairy Weapon. How could he ever use that thing. How embarrassing that would be!” Great Dark Lord Du laughed heartily. “You don’t have to bother about all these sayings, there are many rumors about the successor of the Jade Emperor. All the Yu family did was to take advantage of it and obtained the inheritance of the Ancient Celestial Court. No need to bother so much!”

“I also do not want to bother too much about it, but some things are actually very complicated. Can’t the Dark Lord see it? This island is not as simple a place as it looks!”

“Hmm, how can crossing the sea be easy? 780,000 miles of the Sea Area is all under control of the Sea Emperor. The influences in Sea Area cannot be compared to those on land, as there are so many rules. The most powerful one should be crowned king. In a messy place like this, there could be hundreds of different rulers within a few decades. Other than the Sea Emperor, nobody is capable of being a ruler. Even those who are already in high places have been fighting incessantly for the seat. It is very complicated. The Void Traveller is indeed not bad, but we’ve been spied on since the start. It’s almost impossible to cross the Sea Area safely!”

“It looks like the Dark Lord is very much aware of the dangers of this place, so why didn’t you mention these earlier?” Zhou Bao laughed, “I am one without any background, but you are the number one Dark Lord of the Dark Sect. You should have some say in the sect, so why didn’t you put a stop to it?”

“Hmm, the truth will be revealed soon, but before that happens, we must go along with whatever happens. The situation with Fiery Eyes has a huge connection to this. Fiery Eyes remnant, hehe. Back then, aside from Divine Wind Palace, we were the one that killed the most number of Fiery Eyes. Once Fiery Eyes revives, our sect will at least be the second, if not the first, unlucky sect. But on my watch, things like that will not happen that easily. The Divine Wind Palace has a great plan, so they wouldn’t want anything to go wrong during this time. That’s why they sent us out!”

“Are they out of their minds? They know clearly that we will surely fail this time…!”

“Fail? Hehe, that might not necessarily be the case. Since they have sent us out, they must have made preparations, especially Divine Wind Palace. They would not do anything rashly. Didn’t you see that they have even allowed Yu Nantian to bring out the Highest Heaven Celestial Device? It is something more difficult to cultivate than the Supreme Fairy Weapon, let alone the usage. If they are willing to bring such a thing out, it meant that Yu Nantian is able to deliver what they want. We are not talking about wiping out the opponents totally, but at least we can expect to seriously injure the opposite party!”

“Just by using this Highest Heaven Celestial Device?”

“No. When the Highest Heaven Celestial Device is launched, its power may be the best of Pure Yang Celestial Devices. But again, it cannot be compared to a fairy weapon, and their killing weapon is still a fairy weapon!”
