30: Chapter 30 The Heavenly Treasure Ship, Princess Chu Wanqing!

He slowly stood up, the surrounding void twisting with his movements.

"I, the Imperial Son, possess the Innate Emperor-Bearing Dao Body; I was born to inherit the Dao Fruit of an Ancient Emperor."

"I am the only protagonist of this era!"

"A Hongmeng Chaos Body I've never even heard of... how is he worthy of being ranked ahead of me?"

"Once I obtain the complete Legacy of the Ancient Desolate Emperor, I will personally make a trip to the Desolate Domain."

"I will make that Lin Yi understand who is truly destined to rule!"

...

Heavenly Profound Holy Land, First Peak.

Lin Yi had already received the Holy Lord's Decree.

He was in no hurry to depart, instead returning to his Immortal Cave.

He couldn't be bothered with the surging winds and clouds of the outside world or the reactions of the major powers.

At this moment, he was looking at the System panel before him with great interest.

[Ding! Detection of the opening of the Golden Great Era, new stage missions released!]

[Mission Name: treasure-hunting rat, Capturing the Imperial Daughter's Heart!]

[Mission Locations: Lingxiao City, Ancient Wasteland Auction, Taichu Ancient Mine!]

[Mission Objectives:]

[1. At the Ancient Wasteland Auction, intercept the Opportunity of the Child of Destiny Ye Chen and get to know the Destined Female Lead Chu Wanqing to begin her conquest.]

[2. Follow the treasure-hunting rat Ye Chen into the Taichu Ancient Mine, and after he obtains the final Opportunity, the ancient divine source, intercept it with overwhelming force.]

[3. Get to know the Destined Female Lead Shen Qingyue, who is sealed within the divine source, and completely slay the Child of Destiny Ye Chen to settle the Karma!]

Looking at the clear walkthrough on the System panel, the smile on Lin Yi's lips grew even more pronounced.

Good grief.

This System is practically feeding me with a silver spoon.

treasure-hunting rat?

That description is truly apt.

I just wonder what kind of expression this newly appointed Child of Destiny will have...

...when he discovers that the Opportunities he worked so hard to find...

...have been intercepted by me time and time again.

Lin Yi began to look forward to it.

He closed the panel and walked out of the Immortal Cave.

Grand Elder Wang Hong, Su Yuxi, and the chubby Xu Chen had already been waiting outside for a long time.

"Senior Brother Lin, when do we set out?"

Xu Chen had a face full of excitement, rubbing his hands together.

To be able to follow Lin Yi, whose name shook the Three Thousand Domains, was a massive honor; he could brag about this for a lifetime.

Su Yuxi appeared somewhat worried. She stepped forward and said softly:

"Lin Yi, the Taichu Ancient Mine is a Forbidden Zone of Life, and with such an anomaly occurring now, it must be fraught with extreme danger. You..."

Before she could finish, Lin Yi interrupted her.

"Don't worry."

Lin Yi looked into her beautiful eyes filled with concern, feeling a warmth in his heart, and smiled: "It's just a Forbidden Zone; it can't stop me."

"We aren't going to the ancient mine first."

"We're going to Lingxiao City!"

"Oh?"

Su Yuxi was somewhat puzzled.

A hunting light flashed in Lin Yi's eyes as he gazed toward the distant horizon.

"A self-righteous mouse is about to crawl into the cage."

"We're going to watch a good show and, while we're at it... collect some interest!"

"Grand Elder, let us depart!"

"Good!"

Grand Elder Wang Hong waved his large sleeve.

A luxurious Flying Boat soared into the sky, hovering before everyone.

This boat was named the heavenly treasure tower ship, its entire body crafted from Ten-thousand-year Astral Wood.

The ship's hull was a thousand zhang long, resembling a mobile palace floating in the air.

It was adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, jade buildings and towers.

Furthermore, countless profound Array Patterns were inscribed upon it, circulating with a brilliant divine glow under the sunlight.

At the prow, a massive emblem of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land displayed its extraordinary origin.

"Wow! Grand Elder, is this your ride? It's way too grand!"

The chubby Xu Chen's eyes widened as he circled the tower ship, clicking his tongue in wonder.

To be able to travel on a tower ship of this caliber was a supreme honor for any Disciple.

Luo Qinghan stood to the side, concern flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Lin Yi, on this trip to Lingxiao City, prodigies will gather. You must be careful!"

She reminded him softly, her tone full of tenderness.

"Revered Master, don't worry!"

Lin Yi returned her a smile, his eyes filled with confidence.

"The ones who should be worried are them! If they provoke me, they'll all be suppressed!"

Lin Yi bid farewell to Luo Qinghan and was the first to step onto the Flying Boat.

"Let's go."

Su Yuxi, Xu Chen, and the others followed closely behind.

Grand Elder Wang Hong stood at the prow, and as he struck a hand Seal into the ship...

"Rise!"

Boom!

The heavenly treasure tower ship emitted a slight hum, and the Array Patterns around the hull instantly lit up.

In the next moment, the tower ship turned into a streak of light, tearing through the clouds.

It sped through the air toward Lingxiao City in the center of the Desolate Domain.

The tower ship was extremely fast, shuttling through the sea of clouds as the mountains and rivers below receded rapidly.

The vastness and desolation of the Desolate Domain were fully visible.

Along the way, countless Cultivators saw this tower ship hanging the emblem of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land from afar.

Without exception, they all moved aside and bowed in respect.

"It's the Heavenly Profound Holy Land's heavenly treasure tower ship!"

"Looking at its direction, it should be headed for Lingxiao City!"

"Could the person sitting on the ship be that Saint Lin Yi, who reached the top of the three thousand extreme dao list?"

"It must be him! Who else besides him has such status..."

"...to have a Grand Elder of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land personally pilot the ship to escort him!"

"Tsk tsk, to catch a glimpse of the top ranker's true appearance, I could die with no regrets!"

Similar discussions echoed continuously wherever the tower ship passed.

Lin Yi's name was now like thunder in the ears of the entire Desolate Domain; everyone knew it.

Lin Yi paid no attention to these external reactions.

He was currently standing on the deck at the bow of the ship, hands behind his back.

His white clothes fluttered in the wind, making him look like a young God King.

His gaze looked toward the distant horizon, deep and calm.

Su Yuxi stood quietly by his side.

Looking at Lin Yi's perfect profile, her heart was filled with peace.

Once, she thought that by achieving Rebirth, she was meant to change her fate and reclaim the Imperial throne.

But now, she felt that...

...to be able to quietly accompany this youth like this...

...watching him stir the winds and clouds, watching him ascend to the absolute peak...

...seemed to be a different kind of happiness!

...

On the other side.

Lingxiao City.

The most prestigious sacred city in the Desolate Domain.

At this moment, it was becoming exceptionally lively due to the anomaly in the Taichu Ancient Mine.

To respond to the opening of the Golden Great Era and the anomaly of the Taichu Ancient Mine...

...Lingxiao City decided to immediately host the Ancient Wasteland Auction!

Countless Cultivators from the Desolate Domain and even other Dao Domains gathered here.

The broad streets were crowded with people and carriages.

In the sky, from time to time, there were magnificent carriages pulled by various rare and exotic beasts...

...or Flying Boat Magic Treasures emitting powerful auras whistling past.

Various shouts of vendors and discussions rose one after another, soaring into the sky.

When Lin Yi and the others' heavenly treasure tower ship arrived above Lingxiao City...

...that massive and luxurious hull, as well as the striking Heavenly Profound Holy Land emblem at the prow...

...instantly attracted the gaze of everyone in the city.

"Hiss! That's the Heavenly Profound Holy Land's heavenly treasure tower ship! They've come too!"

"What a grand gesture! It seems the Heavenly Profound Holy Land is determined to win regarding this Taichu Ancient Mine anomaly!"

"Look quickly! That leading white-clothed figure on the deck, could it be..."

"Lin Yi! It's the top ranker of the three thousand extreme dao list, Lin Yi!"

With a cry of surprise, the entire Lingxiao City completely boiled over!
