Asura Mad Emperor

Early the next morning.

Qinchuan and his companions rode a magic artifact and arrived at the place agreed upon by both parties.

"Young Master Qin Li, this way!"

Liu Wan, from a distance, saw Qinchuan and his group and called out to them with a transmitted message.

"Eh, you old man, how come your aura has suddenly become much stronger?"

Upon seeing Liu Wan, Ji Huo'er's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she asked.

The day before, when Ji Huo'er had seen Liu Wan, she distinctly sensed that the old man had a weak aura, at most that of an ordinary Holy Cultivator.

Meeting him again today, Liu Wan's aura had exploded, increasing almost tenfold.

"Huo'er, do not be rude. Perhaps the senior concealed his cultivation level yesterday, and today we are seeing his true cultivation level,"

Ling Xian'er spoke with bright eyes and a radiant smile, her voice ethereal, but it sounded like there was more to her words.

Qinchuan looked at Liu Wan, his gaze holding a smile that seemed not quite a smile and said lightly, "Xian'er's words make sense."

"Haha, you're right, this is indeed my true cultivation level. I did indeed conceal some of my abilities yesterday, causing laughter among everyone," Liu Wan laughed it off.

"Young Master Qin, please board the boat. We can set off immediately."

Liu Wan said with a smile.

"That would be for the best."

Qinchuan nodded in agreement.

Qinchuan, Ji Huo'er, Ling Xian'er, Ye Xuanji, and Ye Shiyi, five people, followed Liu Wan and boarded the warship-like magic artifact floating above the vast ocean.

This magic artifact was the Crossing Boat.

The Crossing Boat floated on the sea, shimmering with the formidable aura of Supreme Immortal Gold, radiating dazzling brilliance and graceful light, exuding waves of majestic and enduring presence.

When the Sea Divine Pavilion forged the Crossing Boat, it was only by incorporating Supreme Immortal Gold that such a magic artifact could be crafted.

The Crossing Boat was thousands of zhang long and hundreds of zhang wide, and though not gigantic within the boundless ocean, it was still much larger compared to ordinary space artifacts; it could at least accommodate thousands of cultivators.

However, when Qinchuan and the others boarded the Crossing Boat, they found that there were no other people aboard.

"Didn't they say it was full? Why aren't there any other people?"

Ye Xuanji scanned the entire Crossing Boat with his Divine Sense and discovered that there were a hundred rooms built on this boat, but he did not find any other cultivators.

"We were indeed supposed to set sail with five people according to the agreement. Before the four of you, I had already made arrangements with another cultivator, but last night that fellow suddenly came to me saying he would not go anymore, even asking me to refund the Mysterious Crystals. What do you think of that? Isn't that amusing?

So, now the Crossing Boat only has four of you, but, fortunately, we still have this young brother here, so it can be said that we are fully staffed at five,"

Liu Wan said, pointing to Ye Shiyi nearby.

In fact, to avoid any mishaps, Liu Wan would set sail as soon as he found a 'fat sheep'; all these excuses were just to deceive Qinchuan and the others.

"It's even better if there's nobody else. With no other cultivators, nobody will compete with this young lady for rooms," Ji Huo'er, without a care in the world, boarded the Crossing Boat and started choosing a room.

After all, crossing the great ocean would take at least a few months of journey.

After Qinchuan and the others boarded the boat, it didn't take long for Liu Wan to enter the front part of the Crossing Boat, where countless crystal stones were stacked together, forming various Immortal Technique arrays.

As Liu Wan poured his vast mana into the array, a dazzling divine light shot up into the sky, shattering the dark clouds above, and at the same time, a brilliant protective screen began to rise on the Crossing Boat, enveloping it, creating a barrier that isolated the inside from the outside.

Once the array was activated, the huge sea artifact began to move slowly towards the south.

The Crossing Boat's speed continued to accelerate, initially matching the pace of an ordinary cultivator at the Immortal Platform Realm, but soon it surpassed that of most in the Saint Realm and the Great Saint Realm, even beginning to rival the speed of a Supreme Saint exerting full force.

Moreover, the speed of the Crossing Boat kept increasing.

Eventually, spatial rifts formed around the Crossing Boat, and its breakneck speed was only slightly slower than that of a Great Emperor.

Once the Crossing Boat was activated, it required little to no intervention.

"Young Master Qin, the long journey must have been tiring. I've specially prepared some superior Spiritual Tea for you, all of which are Heavenly Treasures Materials rarely seen even in a hundred thousand years. I hope you won't disdain them," Liu Wan said.

Despite being at the early stage of the Great Saint Realm, Liu Wan kindly began to serve Qinchuan and the others with Spiritual Tea and delicacies.

Qinchuan glanced at the Spiritual Tea in the cup, said nothing, and drained it in front of him.

Ye Xuanji and the others also didn't say much and drank the Spiritual Tea in front of them.

"Hmm, not bad, this is even the Xuanwu Tea from Mysterious Wind Mountain, a hundred thousand years old," Ye Xuanji nodded with satisfaction.

For the following days, Qinchuan and the others mostly stayed in their rooms, sitting in meditation and quiet cultivation, without leaving their rooms.

Throughout these days, Liu Wan was on deck, personally attending to Qinchuan and the others, serving tea and water and even Ye Shiyi joined in. The care was truly meticulous.

This made Ji Huo'er sigh, "After spending Mysterious Crystals, one really becomes the boss, to have an early-stage Great Saint attending to us personally. Before this, it was unimaginable."

After ten days.

On top of the Crossing Boat, in a corner room among the many rooms.

"How is it going?"

Liu Qian's face revealed his fish gills, showing his true form, and he asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, when has your big brother ever slipped up? These past ten days I've been watching them drink the Spiritual Tea daily, and these fools haven't noticed a thing," Liu Wan, now with a changed face and fish gills on both sides and a sinister expression, said.

"However, we still have second brother to thank for splitting the Disperse Spirit Pill into ten portions and adding it into the Spiritual Tea, allowing these idiots to drop their guard."

"For the past few days, I have been slaving away tending to them like a horse or an ox, even using the Treasure Pills, Disperse Spirit Pills, left by our ancestor. It's time for them to repay us," Liu Wan said with a cold complexion.

"Exactly, the Divine Artifact should belong to the two of us brothers," greed was undeniable in Liu Qian's eyes.

"Judging by the time, the effects of the Disperse Spirit Pill should have taken hold. It's our brothers' turn to make a move," Liu Wan declared.

"Let's go!" With those words, their aura surged as they headed in the direction of the room where Qinchuan and others were resting.

"Boom!"

Qinchuan and the others were sitting in meditation when suddenly a violent tremor came from the deck.

"Qin Li, come out!" A gloomy, thundering voice echoed from all around.

A flash of light crossed Qinchuan's eyes as he muttered to himself, "So quick to lose patience?"

"Liu Wan, what do you think you're doing?"

Ye Xuan's angry voice rang out as he burst out of the room first.

Following suit, Qinchuan, Ling Xian'er, and Ji Huo'er also emerged from their respective rooms.

"What am I doing? What do you think I'm doing?"

Now in their original forms, Liu Wan and Liu Qian had grown several times in size, looking down upon the others from a higher position.

However, to their surprise, Ji Huo'er and the others showed no fear or panic at the sight of their true forms.

Instead, Ji Huo'er looked at them with disdain and disappointment, "Ew, is that your true form? It looks so ugly!"

This left the two momentarily taken aback: "Shouldn't these individuals, not even at the Saint Realm, be terrified of us?"
