Chapter 139: Discovering Infinite Progress

On the Dragon Boat that was flying rapidly to the east at this time, Long Xuan still habitually sat at the stern of the boat.

Soon a familiar fragrance came, and Long Ziyan, who had the same habit as him, sat on his right side.

Then she sat there quietly reading a book, and what she was flipping through in her hand was still that kind of divine mythology ancient book, but she had changed to another one.

Long Xuan, adhering to the principle that more skills don't weigh you down, had long let his clone take time to self-study divine texts for himself, so he could understand the content in her book.

It's just that he lost interest after glancing at it a few times. The book recorded the history of a certain period of time, which was boring and dull. Stories that happened in ancient times can sometimes be of great use, but most of them are completely useless.

At this time, another gust of wind passed, and Long Ruoxue sat on his left side generously, supported her chin and looked at him, and asked directly to the point: "The array you designed is very exquisite. It actually only uses mere foundation arrays to trap a Three-Rank Array Master. Amazing. I still haven't found the pattern of that world labyrinth."

"Up to now, this is the only grand array that has left me completely helpless. Can you borrow the array diagram of this array for me to see? I can exchange it with an array diagram that has been lost for a long time."

However, before Long Xuan could answer, Long Qian scolded first, "Nonsense! Is the array diagram of someone else's cave-protecting array something you can ask about at will? Have you forgotten the unwritten rules of the Gu World?"

In the Gu World, there is an unwritten rule, which is that you cannot ask for the array diagram of someone else's cave-protecting array, no matter how familiar you are.

Because once the cave master gives you the array diagram, you can enter and exit his cave-protecting grand array at will. If the array diagram spreads in your hands, then there will be many people who can enter this array.

So every cave master will not hand over his cave-protecting array diagram to others, no matter how familiar this person is.

So you'd better not open your mouth. Asking the cave master about the secrets of the cave-protecting array is committing a taboo. Smart guests will not mention this matter. This has already become an unwritten rule.

Long Ruoxue of course knew this rule, but she was simply too curious. If she didn't solve the secret of that labyrinth, she would feel uncomfortable all over, couldn't eat well, and couldn't sleep well. She was a famous array fanatic.

Long Xuan smiled at her and said, "The Buddha says, cannot speak! Cannot speak!"

Joke, how could he hand over the array diagram to her? Even if she took out something more valuable to exchange with him, it wouldn't work. Even if Di Xin asked him for it, he wouldn't give it, let alone her?

Two months later.

On the Dragon Boat, Long Qilin poked his head out from time to time to look downward. It was his first time traveling far, and he was in high spirits, considered the most active on the boat.

"Why do we have to fly so low? And fly along the coastline all the time? Flying along the coast is definitely a detour, right?" Long Qilin asked suspiciously.

The Extreme West region is a crescent-shaped peninsula connected to the Western Lands on the map, and the narrow part connected to the Western Lands is covered by a forest.

This forest is the Ten Thousand Mountains, inside which there are countless fierce spirit beasts. Traveling through the Ten Thousand Mountains is very dangerous. Even a Gu King does not have absolute certainty.

This road cannot be taken, so we can only take the sea route, but what Long Qilin didn't expect was that they didn't fly straight across the ocean, but flew at low altitude along the shore. He was very puzzled.

Long Qian walked over and explained with a smile, "It's very simple. If you fly at high altitude, the target is too obvious and it's easy to be attacked by flying spirit beasts, so you can only fly at low altitude in this place, even so, there is no small risk."

"The reason why we don't fly straight across the ocean is also because of many concerns. There are many fierce spirit beasts in the depths of the ocean, and the difficulty of dealing with them is even better than land spirit beasts."

"We are taking a small boat. The area of the small boat is small, and the instrument patterns that can be engraved are limited, so the defense is insufficient. If it is touched by a spirit beast, it will be damaged."

"Once the boat is broken in the center of the ocean, then our fate can be imagined. We can only end up buried in the ocean."

"Although the top-grade boat-type spirit artifacts in this world can fly, there are also many spirit beasts in the water that can fly, such as flood dragon spirit beasts. The small boat is slow. If you are targeted by a sea flood dragon, there is only a dead end."

"So the small boat has no way to enter the deep sea. Only large ships can sail in the deep sea. The instrument patterns and array patterns engraved on the large ship are enough, and the defense can withstand the attacks of spirit beasts in the sea."

"A slightly more powerful large ship, covered with killing arrays, can even hunt sea flood dragons. Sea flood dragons are treasures all over, and dragging them to land is enough to sell for a sky-high price."

"This is also a way to make money. Some forces are making massive wealth by hunting sea flood dragons in the deep sea."

"But large ships are not so easy to build. There are very few forces that have the technology to build large ships. There is no force in the Western Lands that has the technology to build large ships."

"One part of this world is land and nine parts are ocean. It is divided into thousands of sea regions on the map."

"The danger level of each sea region is different, and there are different requirements for spirit ships. Often, the larger the volume of the ship, the more sea regions it can sail."

"In the most dangerous sea regions, only Nine-Rank spirit ships can sail. Tsk tsk, I don't know which force can have the technology to build Nine-Rank spirit ships."

"The larger the volume of the ship, the more resources it consumes. Heaven knows how many resources a Nine-Rank spirit ship needs to consume."

"However, the most dangerous sea regions are definitely places that are difficult for humans to reach. The more places that are difficult for humans to reach, the more treasures there are everywhere."

"Even if the cost of building a Nine-Rank spirit ship is shocking, it is very easy to recover the cost by going to the most dangerous sea regions."

Long Qian revealed a look of yearning. Building large ships also needs to use arrays. This is also one of the fields he studies. He aspires to research large ship technology for the family, open up a way to make money for the family, and in this way, he will also leave his name in the clan history.

Hearing his words, Long Xuan had a conditioned reflex and subconsciously thought about whether to research large ship technology? Then move the Five Elements Reversal Great Formation to an aircraft carrier and roam the ocean unscrupulously.

However, he was just subconsciously thinking. He couldn't use a large ship now. What was the use of building it? However, in the future, large ships would definitely be included in the self-creation plan.

"Alright, don't talk about these things. After bumping for so long, let's stop and rest for a while. Those who want to go to the toilet should go quickly. If anyone is urgent later, I won't stop for anyone alone."

Saying that, Long Qian drove the Dragon Boat and flew toward a small island below.

Long Lie laughed, "Haha, I should have stopped long ago; I was about to burst. If there weren't girls on the ship, I would have stood on the deck to pee in the past."

"Aren't you afraid of peeing on your face?"

Long Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. He poured a small sip of spirit wine into his mouth from time to time. Can he not pee much? It's truly a miracle that his bladder didn't explode.

Not long after, the Dragon Boat landed. Before the boat landed, everyone couldn't wait to jump off the boat. Sitting on the boat for too long was also a very uncomfortable thing.

Long Lie ran the fastest; it looked like he was truly bursting.

"You guys start the fire, I'll go hunt some prey. After staying on the boat for so long, I'm almost bored to death."

Long Qilin rushed into the depths of the island second, preparing to hunt some spirit beasts and bring them back to eat roast meat.

The others on the boat were not idle either, walking into the depths of the island one after another, preparing to see what spirit herbs they could find in the depths of the island, or what treasures they could find, and by the way, hunt some prey.

Long Ruoxue sat on the boat without moving, continuing to study the messy map in her hand, like being possessed, with a posture of not stopping until she cracked the Magic Cube Grand Array.

"The matter of starting the fire will be left to you. I'll go catch some fish."

Long Xuan didn't want to be idle either. After taking off most of his clothes, he jumped directly into the sea.

And at this time, the rest of the clones had caught many spirit fish. His clones completely copied his abilities, both anti-pressure and basically not needing to breathe in the water, all were good hands at catching fish, and not long after, they had caught enough portions.

Long Xuan walked to the side of the fire and began to roast the spirit fish. Those who went to the center of the island to hunt spirit beasts hadn't returned yet. At this time, besides himself, only Long Ziyan and Long Ruoxue were left here.

These two beauties had nothing to do and were sparring. The competition between the two beauties was pleasing to the eye, and Long Xuan watched with an appreciative gaze.

Long Ziyan's habitual fighting style was still using a sword. The sword energy emitted astonishing cold air, and the power was amazing. Those who were injured would be either dead or disabled.

Long Xuan still remembered that when he was in the ancient tomb, he was wearing a second-grade Dragon Silkworm Treasure Garment. At the same level, it was basically impossible to break his defense.

And Long Ziyan's clone was clearly at the peak of the Spirit Gathering stage at that time, but a casual strike actually crossed the level and cut his second-grade Dragon Silkworm Treasure Garment. If it weren't for the Water Bear Gu, he estimated he would have been finished under that strike.

After understanding for so long, Long Xuan knew that she was actually not a pure Gu cultivator, because she was born with a Sword Bone and was extremely suitable to become a sword cultivator. Once she became a sword cultivator, her combat power would be ten times that of an ordinary sword cultivator.

So the path she took was a Gu cultivator concurrently working as a sword cultivator, a rare dual-professional. The combat power of this path must be strong, but it also had to pay more time than the same level.

It is rumored that sword cultivators are the best in attack among all professionals in the world. Once they have the blessing of Sword Bone, their attack power is enough to injure enemies across large realms. This is also the reason why Long Ziyan could break the second-grade Dragon Silkworm Treasure Garment with the Spirit Gathering stage.

Of course, this only means that sword cultivators with Sword Bone can break the defense of people who are one large realm higher than themselves, but it does not mean they have the ability to fight across large realms. Fighting across large realms is very difficult to appear in this world.

"As expected of a Sword Bone owner, such great killing power. The Earth Mover Beetle with invincible defense is like paper in front of her sword!" Long Qian walked over at this time, put down the prey, looked at the two people sparring, and gradually revealed a solemn look.

Seeing Long Qian sitting next to him, Long Xuan asked curiously, "Senior, can you tell me about sword cultivators? To tell you the truth, up to now, I have never encountered any professionals other than Gu cultivators."

Although his clones were learned and talented, he really knew nothing about sword cultivators.

He had been in this world for so many years and had never seen a sword cultivator. He had never seen any other professionals either. He had never seen any classics about sword cultivators either. He naturally couldn't understand things he couldn't find in books.

Up to now, the people he saw were all Gu cultivators. Other professionals seemed as if they had never appeared in this world, and the library was blank.

"Hehe, the realm division of sword cultivators is the same as that of Gu cultivators. The realm division of all professionals is basically the same."

"It's just that after the Soul Departure stage, Gu cultivators are more called Gu Kings, while sword cultivators are called Sword Kings, ghost cultivators are called Ghost Kings, body cultivators are called Martial Kings...... and so on."

"In terms of realm, there is only this little difference."

"However, if you want to see other professionals in the Gu World, that is basically impossible. You have to think about why this world is called the Gu World. Since it is called the Gu World, it is naturally a world that belongs exclusively to Gu cultivators."

"In this world, everyone cultivates Gu. Sword cultivators basically cannot be seen. Although classics about sword cultivators appear occasionally, there are too few classics, and the inheritance is not complete at all."

"It is too difficult for Long Ziyan to take this path of sword cultivator in this world. Sword cultivators have no complete inheritance in this world, and she cannot find a master who can learn. Everything can only rely on herself to explore. How difficult is the path of self-study? It is truly a pity for such good Sword Bone."

Long Qian revealed a look of regret.

Hearing this, Long Xuan had more questions in his heart and asked again, "Since classics about sword cultivators exist in this world, it shows that sword cultivators have appeared in this world, or that there have been traces of sword cultivators."
