245: Moyu Chamber of Commerce

Star Luo Province.

After his soul returned, Wu Muzhen immediately carefully sensed the energy fluctuations contained within his Eye of Heavenly Secrets.

"As expected, with the vast amount of intelligence I possess, my probing energy will not be low."

Wu Muzhen's heart was greatly excited.

When he acquired the Eye of Heavenly Secrets,

all the intelligence he possessed was transformed into the Eye of Heavenly Secrets' probing energy.

This caused the Eye of Heavenly Secrets, which was originally dim and lightless within his soul, to now become bright and shining, while also giving him the opportunity to activate the Eye of Heavenly Secrets.

Immediately,

Wu Muzhen's consciousness instantly merged with the Eye of Heavenly Secrets.

He silently contemplated the specific intelligence he wanted to probe.

"Probe the whereabouts of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect members in Star Luo Province."

As his thoughts were transmitted into the Eye of Heavenly Secrets,

the entire Eye of Heavenly Secrets suddenly came alive, exuding a vivid and vibrant sense of 靈動 ( 靈動, spiritual agility).

At the same time, an invisible beam of light shot out from the Eye of Heavenly Secrets.

It vanished into the sky.

"A long-lost feeling..."

Wu Muzhen's face was filled with nostalgia.

The last time he activated the Eye of Heavenly Secrets was many years ago.

At that time, Tianji Hall was still presided over by another Hall Master of Tianji Hall.

And at that time, his Eye of Heavenly Secrets was only at the Martial Soul Realm level.

But now... his Eye of Heavenly Secrets had already reached the Saint level!

"A Saint-level Eye of Heavenly Secrets, I believe there aren't many things in the entire Star Luo Province that I cannot probe!"

Wu Muzhen's gaze was fervent.

However, he also knew that

to probe Saint-level intelligence, the energy required for probing is often extremely vast.

One needs to possess more high-level intelligence to have enough energy for probing.

Even if his Eye of Heavenly Secrets reached that level,

it would be useless without enough probing energy.

Buzz!

Soon,

the Eye of Heavenly Secrets in his soul vibrated violently.

The probe failed!

Wu Muzhen's brows immediately furrowed.

"Not enough probing energy..."

He was somewhat surprised.

Although Xiao Shi had already warned him earlier that probing the whereabouts of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect members would certainly not be an easy task.

In terms of intelligence level, it might have already risen to the Saint level.

But Wu Muzhen never expected that probing the whereabouts of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect members would require such astonishing probing energy!

"Fortunately, although my current probing energy is not enough, it's not far off..."

"I believe that as long as I acquire some more high-level intelligence, I will have enough probing energy."

Wu Muzhen immediately re-entered Tianji Hall and truthfully reported the situation to Xiao Shi... "It seems it will take some time to find the whereabouts of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect members."

Xiao Shi's soul had already returned to his physical body.

The harder it was to probe the whereabouts of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect members, the better they were hidden.

To some extent,

this was also something Xiao Shi was happy to see.

After all, if the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect members were not well hidden, they would always be at risk of being found by the Star Luo Territory Lord.

And Xiao Shi's current stance

was definitely consistent with the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.

If he wanted to learn more information from the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, as well as obtain their subsequent cultivation system, he would have to make contact with them under the identity of the Crimson Tiger Lineage.

The deeper they were hidden, the smaller the risk of being discovered by the Star Luo Territory Lord when he made contact with them.

He shook his head.

Xiao Shi stopped thinking too much.

The most important thing now was to rush to Star Luo Province as soon as possible.

Since the specific route array for Star Luo Province had already been laid out on the flying ship before departure,

even without Xiao Shi's control, the flying ship would follow a fixed route to Star Luo Province.

Xiao Shi only needed to control the speed of the flying ship.

After several days of flying,

he successfully piloted the flying ship and arrived at the central part of Zixiao Continent.

Since he had been in the air the whole time, his journey had been relatively smooth, and he hadn't encountered any trouble.

"Hmm?"

It was only then that Xiao Shi finally saw another flying ship.

This was a giant flying ship, seventy to eighty zhang long.

It was more than twice the size of his flying ship.

Just looking at it with the naked eye, it was incredibly massive and grand.

The entire flying ship was dark black, and there were many flags on it, fluttering in the wind.

Each flag was embroidered with the four dark golden characters "Mo Yu Trading Company."

At the same time, there was a large group of people on the deck of the flying ship.

At least a hundred people.

Just by getting a little closer,

Xiao Shi felt several powerful and vigilant gazes from this flying ship, staring at him.

And a Soul Consciousness instantly swept over from the opposite flying ship.

However, Xiao Shi's flying ship was already one of the top few flying ships in the Rapid Shadow Palace, and it had long been equipped with an array capable of blocking Soul Consciousness.

Unless the other party forcibly broke the array with their Soul Consciousness,

otherwise, under the obstruction of this array, it would certainly be impossible to probe him with Soul Consciousness.

And the Martial Soul Realm expert with Soul Consciousness on that giant flying ship did not forcibly break the array with his Soul Consciousness.

After all, the two sides had only just met.

It hadn't reached the point where they would immediately start fighting if they disagreed.

Moreover, the expert on the giant flying ship knew that people who dared to pilot a flying ship alone were usually not simple.

They often had extraordinary identities and backgrounds.

Especially since the other party's flying ship also had an array to block Soul Consciousness.

There was no need to get too involved with such an unknown expert.

As long as the other party had no hostility towards their trading company, that was fine.

Immediately,

the giant flying ship sped up and directly distanced itself from Xiao Shi's flying ship.

"Mo Yu Trading Company?"

Xiao Shi looked at the distant, massive flying ship.

This was the first time he had heard of this trading company.

From the scale of the entire flying ship and the experts on board, it was clear that this trading company must be extraordinary.

"I wonder if this Mo Yu Trading Company is a force from Zixiao Continent or Star Luo Province?"

Judging from the direction of the Mo Yu Trading Company's flying ship, it also seemed to be heading towards Star Luo Province.

After Xiao Shi continued to travel by flying ship for several more days,

he successfully left Zixiao Continent and entered Zhaotian Continent.

"After Zhaotian Continent, we'll reach Star Luo Province."

Xiao Shi's spirits lifted.

Because Zhaotian Continent was adjacent to Star Luo Province, there were significantly more experts in Zhaotian Continent than in Tian Dou Province and Zixiao Continent.

As a result, flying ships were frequently seen in this province.

In Tian Dou Province and Zixiao Continent, it was very rare to see flying ships.

Now, Xiao Shi had only just entered Zhaotian Continent for a short while, and he had already seen many flying ships flashing across the sky.

"I heard that there are even Martial Demon Realm Experts in Zhaotian Continent!"

The seven continents of Star Luo Territory.

Apart from Star Luo Province, only Zhaotian Continent and Lihuo Continent had Martial Demon Realm Experts.

The other four continents did not have Martial Demon Realm existences; the strongest were Martial Soul Realm.

This seemed to be related to the Martial Demon Realm itself.

From the information Xiao Shi had gathered so far,

the Martial Demon Realm was a very special realm.

Many Martial Soul Realm experts, after reaching the Life Soul stage, would often give up even if they had the ability to attempt to break through to the Martial Demon Realm.

They would rather remain in the Martial Soul Realm for life.

They were unwilling to attempt to break through to the Martial Demon Realm.

This also made Xiao Shi intensely curious about the Martial Demon Realm.

However, the Martial Demon Realm was still somewhat distant for him.

Currently, the most important thing was to quickly make contact with the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect members and break through to the Martial Soul Realm first.

Soon after Xiao Shi piloted his flying ship into Zhaotian Continent,

he directly controlled the flying ship to descend from the sky.

What met his eyes at this moment was a fiery red desert.

Every grain of red sand in the desert emitted a terrifying high temperature, causing the air to distort.

The reason why there were so many flying ships in Zhaotian Continent

was not only because there were more experts here, but also because of its special terrain.

It was primarily a desert.

And it wasn't an ordinary desert.

Instead, it was a red desert with astonishing high temperatures.

It was extremely difficult for ordinary people to travel through such a desert.

They could only rely on flying ships to travel.

After Xiao Shi piloted the flying ship and landed in the desert, he directly put the flying ship into his storage bag.

He no longer planned to personally pilot the flying ship to Star Luo Province.

Because he knew that

if he were to pilot the flying ship to Star Luo Province alone, it would be too conspicuous.

A luxury item like a flying ship... was not something ordinary people could possess.

Even Martial Soul Realm experts couldn't all have a flying ship.

Only large forces could afford flying ships.

And those who owned a flying ship alone were even more so individuals with power, status, and position within these large forces.

Therefore, from the very beginning,

Xiao Shi only intended to pilot the flying ship to Zhaotian Continent.

Then he would find a way to enter Star Luo Province from Zhaotian Continent.

Neither his identity nor his personality allowed him to enter Star Luo Province in a high-profile manner.

He would definitely be as low-key as possible.

He didn't want to be targeted as soon as he entered Star Luo Province.

As someone who was accustomed to hiding behind the scenes,

he planned to still enter Star Luo Province as an ordinary, inconspicuous small figure who wouldn't attract anyone's attention or concern.

According to the plan he had prepared earlier,

Xiao Shi first disguised his appearance.

He disguised himself as a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties.

Concealing his cultivation was even easier.

After all, his physical body had only reached the Martial Soul Realm, and he hadn't yet produced any soul power.

As long as he didn't use his physical strength, in the eyes of ordinary people, he would just be a Blood Martial Realm practitioner.

Although a Blood Martial Realm practitioner could be considered a pillar in Tian Dou Province,

in Star Luo Province, it was nothing special.

Unless he was a Blood Martial Realm practitioner of fifteen or sixteen, or even younger.

Then he might be regarded as a genius.

But a Blood Martial Realm practitioner in his forties or fifties was very common.

After completing his basic disguise,

Xiao Shi directly entered a large city built on numerous sand dunes in the distance.

The city was paved with heat-insulating flagstones, so ordinary people living in the city would not be greatly affected.

After successfully entering the city,

Xiao Shi began to search for flying ships that could take him to Star Luo Province.

There were generally two ways to travel from Zhaotian Continent to Star Luo Province.

One was to travel by flying ship.

The other was to be directly teleported via a teleportation array.

Among them, traveling to Star Luo Province via a teleportation array was the fastest way.

But in terms of cost, it was incredibly expensive.

At the same time, there was also a condition.

That is, only those whose cultivation was above the Martial Soul Realm were qualified to use the teleportation array.

Martial artists below the Martial Soul Realm were not qualified to use the teleportation array.

Given Xiao Shi's current conditions,

he could naturally use the teleportation array.

But traveling to Star Luo Province via a teleportation array would be too conspicuous and high-profile!

This was definitely not an option.

There were also many ways to travel to Star Luo Province by flying ship; if one had enough financial resources, one could rent a flying ship and even hire some powerful guards.

If financial resources were tight, one could only take someone else's flying ship.

Xiao Shi mused that his current persona was just an ordinary Blood Martial Realm practitioner, so he definitely couldn't afford to rent a flying ship.

So, after arriving at the city's flying ship docking area, he, like everyone else, waited for the flying ships to arrive.

This scene gave Xiao Shi a feeling of waiting for a flight at an airport in his previous life... Taking this opportunity,

he observed the people around him who were also "waiting for their flight."

He found that most of the people around him were Blood Martial Realm practitioners.

He could see a few Qi Martial Realm practitioners.

In other areas in the distance, he could see some Entering Martial Realm practitioners and ordinary commoners.

These Entering Martial Realm practitioners and ordinary commoners were taking flying ships to other cities, which was different from Xiao Shi's destination.

But whether it was Xiao Shi's area or the "waiting area" for other cities, there were no Martial Soul Realm practitioners present.

Usually, with the status of a Martial Soul Realm practitioner, it was clearly impossible to wait here.

They would either use a teleportation array to directly go to Star Luo Province, or they would travel by their own faction's flying ship.

Currently, the flying ships in the city were basically provided for rogue cultivators and those small and medium-sized forces.

After a while,

a flying ship slowly descended in the distance.

Although this flying ship was larger than Xiao Shi's flying ship, measuring over fifty zhang in length, the material of the entire flying ship was far inferior to Xiao Shi's flying ship.

It was completely the cheapest type of flying ship.

However, Xiao Shi felt that such a flying ship suited his current identity and demeanor.

After they paid the fee and boarded the flying ship,

Whoosh!

The entire flying ship quickly soared into the sky.

It began to travel in the direction of Star Luo Province.

However, its overall speed was much slower than Xiao Shi's flying ship.

Xiao Shi was not bothered by this.

For him, the most important thing now was a reasonable identity disguise; even if it was a bit slower or simpler, it wouldn't make much difference.

After several days of travel like this,

as they were about to arrive above another city,

Xiao Shi once again saw that massive flying ship belonging to the Mo Yu Trading Company!

This flying ship seemed to have just undergone maintenance in a city in Zhaotian Continent, and as it flew out, it happened to meet Xiao Shi and their flying ship.

Immediately,

the Soul Consciousness of the experts from within the Mo Yu Trading Company's flying ship swept over directly.

It seemed that for the experts of the Mo Yu Trading Company,

even the most ordinary flying ship, as long as it approached them, they would remain vigilant and not relax their guard.

And now, without the obstruction of the flying ship's array,

the Soul Consciousness of the experts in the Mo Yu Trading Company also swept over Xiao Shi in the crowd... "Eh?"

The expert in the Mo Yu Trading Company frowned slightly.
