Zhang Ke looked down along Shan Qianhui's finger, and what he saw in front of him surprised him a little.
Below there are more than a thousand islands of different sizes gathered together to form an island chain.
This island chain spans two thousand miles.
There are few island chains in the entire South China Sea with such a large island community.
Viewed from top to bottom, the entire island chain is shaped like a half-curved crescent.
What surprised Zhang Ke was not the island chain, but the huge sea eyes on both sides of the Crescent Island Chain.
Among them, the eye at the arc-shaped bend of the Crescent Island Chain is the largest.
The sea eye, which was several miles in size, rotated and sucked in all the surrounding sea water, setting off waves tens of feet high.
The sea eye on the other side is slightly smaller, but it also stirs up the undercurrents that stir the nearby sea surface.
“This island chain is called ‘Crescent Bay’.
There are thousands of large and small islands around, and most of them can be used by ordinary people to live.
Some of the large islands are large enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. The land on the islands is fertile and the sunshine is abundant, making them extremely suitable for farming.
The islands are not very far apart and can be said to be a very suitable place for human habitation.
However, the whirlpools of these two huge sea eyes completely stirred up this sea area.
Even the largest mountain boats cannot sail here, and in the past, some mountain boats were sucked into the whirlpool.
Moreover, the tides are triggered by the sea eye all year round, often causing huge waves to submerge nearby islands.
Therefore, although many sects have been coveting the island resources here for a long time.
But the existence of these two sea eyes cut off all thoughts."
As Zhang Ke thought, Baiyun carried the two of them and flew downwards.
The closer you get to the sea, the more powerful you can feel the two sea eyes.
Only thirty feet above the eye of the sea, you can clearly feel the strong air pulling force generated by the rotation of the vortex of the eye of the sea.
What Zhang Ke was approaching was the inward-curving Eye of the Sea, which looked like a huge funnel and didn't know where it led.
Huge waves more than ten feet high on the sea surface were spinning and being sucked into the whirlpool, making an earth-shattering sound.
"Boom--! Boom--!"
After observing for a while, Zhang Ke and Shan Qianhui went to the surrounding islands to check.
These islands have been basically occupied by countless seabirds, and the guano accumulated on the ground is several feet thick.
In addition, through exploration, Zhang Ke discovered that these thousands of islands also contain rich mineral deposits.
There are even a large number of cultivation resources, such as spiritual fields, elixirs, and some heavenly materials and earthly treasures unique to the South China Sea.
Half a day later, the two landed on the top of the highest island.
“It’s a pity to say that this sea area has an extremely advantageous geographical location.
If it weren't for these two sea eyes that make it difficult to navigate the sea area within thousands of miles, this place can be used as a transit point.
You must know that ships in other directions now have to go thousands of miles out of the sea to avoid these two sea eyes."
Zhang Ke nodded and said:
"This is a good place, but it's a pity.
With such a good location, wouldn’t any sect try to block these eyes of the two seas?"
Shan Qianhui smiled slightly.
"How could it not be? Over the past thousands of years, many sects have made plans to come here.
But the pulling power of those two sea eyes is too strong.
A Dao Lord once moved a hill, but he only temporarily calmed the little sea eye for a few days, and in the end he still couldn't calm it down."
Zhang Ke's heart moved and he asked:
"How big is that hill?"
Shan Qianhui thought for a while and said:
"I heard that the hill is as big as two mountain boats."
Zhang Ke thought about the size of the mountain boat.
According to Shan Qianhui, the largest mountain is 300 feet long, 80 feet wide, 110 feet high, and weighs hundreds of thousands of jun.
The largest ship in the dream was only four hundred meters long, or one hundred and thirty feet long.
This mountain ship is equivalent to two and a half aircraft carriers, which shows how big the mountain ship is.
It is simply impossible to start such a behemoth with ordinary power.
It requires special precious materials and formations, and everyone needs to build countless formations in the ship to make it work.
This is why refining Shanfeng is time-consuming and expensive.
Shan Qianhui looked at the unfathomable eye of the sea in the distance, and the power of nature was fully highlighted at this moment.
"Okay, I've already seen Crescent Bay, so I should be worried now.
It is really not easy to find islands suitable for human habitation in the South China Sea."
Zhang Ke smiled lightly and asked:
"Which sect belongs to Moon Bay?"
Shan Qianhui praised:
"That's a good question. Now the sects in the South China Sea have nothing to do with these two sea eyes.
But just because there is nothing we can do now does not mean that there will be nothing we can do in the future. Maybe one day there will be vibrations in the seabed earth veins, and these two sea eyes may disappear.
Therefore, this ‘Crescent Bay’ is actually still coveted by many sects.
As early as three thousand years ago, one of the nine major sects in the Eastern Territory at that time, the ‘Thirty-Three Heavens Palace of Yunxiao’, took back the ownership of the ‘Crescent Bay’.”
Zhang Ke murmured to himself:
"Yunxiao Thirty-Three Heavens Palace! Could it be the second-grade sect now?"
He remembered that during the Battle of the Great Rift Valley in the past, Luan Changsen, a disciple of the ‘Yunxiao Tiangong’, had some friendship with him.
I don’t know how he is doing now, but it seems that I will pay him a visit if I have the chance.
Shan Qianhui responded:
"Exactly! One of the nine top-grade sects in the world, the largest sect in Laizhou.
Its mountain gate is at the boundary between mountains and seas, about 300,000 miles away from here."
Zhang Ke was speechless. His hand was stretched too far.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Shan Qianhui:
"Tell me, if I want to get this Crescent Bay, is it possible?"
Shan Qianhui's heart moved and she asked:
"Maybe you can solve this problem of sea eyes?"
Zhang Ke shook his head and said:
"How is this possible, but I want to occupy this place first, just in case there is a chance in the future."
Shan Qianhui couldn't tell whether what Zhang Ke said was true or false.
After thinking for a while he said:
“This Crescent Bay is actually a piece of cake for the ‘Yunxiao Tiangong’.
But this place is very sensitive. Once you reveal your thoughts, you will be considered to have a solution to the problem.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When the time comes, hungry tigers and wolves will all come.
Therefore, this matter is very troublesome. Even if you can solve the problem here, you cannot take the initiative to reveal your intentions.
But it’s not impossible. I remember that six hundred years ago, the ‘Yunxiao Tiangong’ seemed to have used Crescent Bay as a reward to issue tasks.
Just because the task at that time was relatively difficult, no one could complete it until the end."
Zhang Ke understood what Shan Qianhui meant.
"You mean, don't take the initiative to explore them, but wait for the right opportunity?"
Shan Qianhui's mouth revealed a hint of cunning.
"I still have many good sisters in the South China Sea.
Just wait! If there is a chance, I will naturally push it."
Zhang Ke was a little touched. His relationship with Shan Qianhui was actually only due to a romantic relationship at the beginning, and the relationship was somewhat disconnected.
It's just a little bit of a bond between them. Although it can't be said to be just a relationship of simple sex friends, it's not that close.
But she was willing to pay so much for herself, so Zhang Ke couldn't help but be deeply moved.
Shan Qianhui seemed to understand what Zhang Ke was thinking.
"Don't have any other ideas. I only got involved with you on a whim.
After all, you are good-looking and have good martial arts. I will naturally come to you if I need you in the future.
If you miss me, you can come to me at any time.
Life always needs a little spice!”
Shan Qianhui is a very independent person. Because of her background, she will not trust any man.
The reason why he did that kind of thing in the first place was because Zhang Ke was so angry that he wanted to take revenge on him.
If Zhang Ke didn't come to her this time, this person would almost fade away in her memory.
But the situation is different now.
Now that Zhang Ke has been promoted to Yuanshen, he is no longer the little monk who can be manipulated at will.
From being condescending to treating each other as equals, Shan Qianhui needs to set the tone for her and Zhang Ke's behavior.
Come if you want, don't interfere with each other!
I have to say that this kind of relationship made Zhang Ke feel very relieved.
In his heart, Qingmei and Ding Xiaoxiao are the only two women he truly likes.
But he is still involved with many women. This can only be said that lust is the nature of men.
These mental activities flashed through his mind.
"That is to say, the islands in the South China Sea are basically owned by owners now, right?"
Shan Qianhui said ‘hmm’.
Zhang Ke said again:
"Then the place without islands on the sea should be the Borderlands, right?"
Shan Qianhui smiled and said:
"This is natural. The sea is vast. It would be unreasonable for the sect to occupy even this place.
However, according to convention, the hundred-mile sea area near the territorial islands will be regarded as its own by default."
Zhang Ke then asked:
"Just now you said that two old mountain boats were auctioned more than ten years ago, and each one only cost two million gold talismans.
If I want to buy an old mountain boat now, can I find a suitable seller?"
Shan Qianhui couldn't help but turn her gaze to Zhang Ke's face.
Looks like this guy has a lot of money!
She thought for a while and said:
"I need some time to inquire about this. How many ships do you want to buy?"
Zhang Ke frowned and thought for a while and said:
"At least six ships, and at most ten ships, prepare according to this scale."
After a pause, he continued:
"If this thing is done, I will give you 200,000 gold talismans for one ship."
"Ss—!"
Was Shan Qianhui really shocked this time? Was the person in front of her so rich?
"Haha! You're welcome then. I happened to have taken a fancy to a treasure recently and my money is a little tight. Now it's settled."
Then he asked a little strangely:
"Why are there so many mountain boats? Two of them are enough for daily use?"
Zhang Ke sighed:
“More than one million people need to be transported, so it would be more convenient to have more mountain ships.
Besides, it’s unlikely that other sects will establish branches in the future, so buying a few more ships won’t be a bad thing.”
Shan Qianhui heard the inaccuracies in Zhang Ke's words and knew that he had reservations about her.
A gentleman is cautious and never leaves the house.
"So, you have found a suitable island as a place to stay?"
