Mu Yi scratched his head; the old monk's words were also not wrong—Samsara of the Six Paths is itself a refined concept of the Buddhist Sect; within Jiuzhou, Samsara itself is only divided into yin and yang.

According to Mu Yi's speculation, there should still be lingering monsters near the coast, so Mu Yi also did not rush back to the fleet, but instead directed everyone to conduct a three-foot-deep excavation search.

How are you doing?

Go back and train your will; with such a physique, how can your will be so weak! Mu Yi said consolingly.

Translation: He could tell the stalwart warrior general was a body cultivator, following the essence-energy-spirit path's body refinement system; body refinement focuses on tempering the physique, emphasizing infusing inner qi and will entirely into the body to form a super-physique that invulnerable to all techniques and indestructible like diamond.

Translation: "Besides us, are there any other experts on this outing?"

Besides us, are there any other experts on this outing?

Translation: After a moment of silence, Mu Yi continued his questioning.

We need to keep no special terms. We'll translate: "After a moment of silence, Mu Yi continued his questioning."

Translation: "Thank you for your trouble, everyone! Take these elixirs and rest for a while!" After hearing the full story, Zheng He's brow showed a hint of worry; the situation was much worse than they had imagined.

Supreme God, what does the Underworld mean?

Translation: "Cannot say!"

Supreme God, what does the Underworld mean?

Translation: Upon hearing Zheng He's question, Mu Yi shook his head.

Can't say!

Zheng He, upon hearing this, also did not continue to press further; he knew well that many things, if they cannot be asked, are best left unasked.

Can't say!

Heavenly Court, Underworld, Great Ming, outside the realm, evil god.

"Regarding the evil god, how much do you understand!" Seeing Zheng He's frankness, Mu Yi also straightforwardly got to the point and asked.

Supreme God, Military Strategist person, Military Strategist, Zheng He, Mu Yi.

Zheng He sighed; he had personally witnessed the madness of those stargazers, a madness that still sends chills down his spine to this day.

Know nothing, Imperial Astronomy Bureau, beyond heaven, between oceans.

Buddhist and Daoist schools, founder/master.

Zheng He felt helpless; originally, when he knew the gods of the Underworld were coming, he had been excited, but upon seeing Mu Yi, his heart turned cold halfway.

Everyone remained silent.

Mu Yi; Heavenly Court and Underworld; real-world strength.

Fleet.

Mu Yi; intelligence.

"How many of those previous monsters can the fleet handle at most at once?" After thinking, Mu Yi, like Zheng He, began to focus on the practical aspect.

Heavenly Court and Underworld; great god.

On the ocean; various.

However, Mu Yi still clearly noticed Zheng He's remark.

Fleet; world-limit legendary chief monster.

Cannot approach land?

Naval warfare, Military Strategist, Jiuzhou culture, naval warfare system.

Military Strategist has no Naval War God.

Great Ming Empire, Military Strategist inner workings.

Military Strategist's War God, on land.

Combat method, sky and ocean, terrain.

Great Ming's naval warfare.

Great Ming Empire, imperial court, Grand Army Commander, Grand Army Commander sufficient, current Emperor of Great Ming, top-tier Grand Army Commander.

Grand Army Commander, Great Ming army, evil god, omniscient god.

Ocean, world.

Naval warfare method, secret method, Great Ming Military Strategist War God.

Mu Yi was oblivious; he had never learned this thing, so how could he possibly understand Zheng He's predicament?

Zheng He, Grand Army Commander, naval warfare method, land warfare method, War God.

Zheng He, Mu Yi, Military Family Descendant, become a god.

Military Strategist fully become a god, Guan Sheng Dijun.

Military Strategist War God, other Military Strategist War Gods, Heavenly Court, Guan Yu.

Zheng He, Mu Yi, Military Family Descendant.

Zheng He, Heaven and Earth Essence Qi Self-Circulation System.

Of course, this thing's multiplier is too high, uncontrollable, relying more on rotational inertia, and the resulting method of operation is also simple and brutal.

Put simply, this thing absorbs energy, then condenses into a high-intensity energy cannon imbued with naval will that blasts people, easily creating mushroom clouds.

Will cannot control this energy, but it can alter the nature of this energy, making its lethality far greater than that of pure single damage.

However, there is a problem: the concentration of heaven and earth essence in a region has been increased a hundredfold, and the navy's own power is also caught up in inertia, so the improvement in its own strength is limited to only one or two times.

Navy sailors, essence-energy-spirit, Cloud Energy, vortex, Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, multiple.

Same as above; enemy; on the ocean; fleet mobility displacement avoidance; secret

Any essence-energy-spirit system can be enhanced, but it suffers from the glass cannon defect.

There's nothing wrong with the brain; the big shot abandoned this path as a countermeasure.

The countermeasure is a unit that boosts Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.

Zheng He observed that naval warfare differs from land warfare, gaining experience and devising methods.

The idea is very useful, yet its flaw allows the enemy to respond.

Zheng He and Mu Yi conducted investigations without harming innocents, preserving fleet combat power and even fishing.

The fact shows that a single shot can instantly eliminate a major problem.

You really let the four Legends on the ship go up to fight that Legend creature opposite; even if they could kill it, they themselves would most likely be exhausted and wounded.
