Above the clouds, a battleship was flying rapidly.
At the bow of the ship, Gu Chen was sitting upright in a white robe, with his black hair dancing in the wind.
He closed his eyes tightly, and the space around him was distorted. The clouds and mist came around him, gathered and dispersed, and turned from water vapor into clouds. The clouds then rained, and the rain turned into water vapor again, and the cycle started again.
All the details of the cooperation on the Nanling side have been agreed upon, and Jiang Buzhuo is using the standard weapons in the Weapon King's arsenal left by Gu Chen as molds to help the Nanling Monster Clan seize the time to manufacture a large number of armors and weapons.
Although there are many weapons in the weapon king's arsenal, once the army is really launched, it will be far from meeting the needs of the Heavenly Court and the four major alien races, so it is necessary to step up the production of more weapons.
And with Jiang Buzhou's guidance, Nanling's level of weapon refining has improved rapidly. Whether it can be put to use depends on how late it is.
As for Gu Chen and his group, now that Nanling has been successfully accomplished, they set off for the West Desert.
The distance was long, so for the sake of convenience, everyone took the Sky Patrol Battleship, which gave Gu Chen time to practice hard.
White Ape got a bunch of eggshells from the Demon God Ancient Land. In addition to chewing some of them every day these days, he also shared them with Gu Chen.
The eggshell is rich in nutrients. Gu Chen took it for many days and felt that his cultivation was gradually approaching the peak of immortality. His mental power further improved, and he could vaguely feel the threshold of the soul.
At this rate, I'm afraid it won't be long before he can try to reach the Heavenly Realm.
Apart from the nourishment of strength, the most precious thing about the eggshell is the few wisps of time and air.
These days, Gu Chen has handed over the command of the battleship to Zhao Rou and others, and he has been studying time and space spells every day.
Especially the time spell, his understanding of [Momentary Youth] is increasing day by day, and now he is becoming more and more familiar with using the power of time.
While his attainments in time and space magic began to advance by leaps and bounds, Gu Chen's progress in the secret arts of the Thirty-Third Heaven almost completely stagnated.
After Gu Chen successfully summoned the true fire of the sun, the first level of heavenly secret technique, Sun and Moon Refining, was regarded as taking an extremely important step.
Next, if he can summon the Yueyin Soul Ice, and then fuse the power of the two celestial phenomena, the sun and the moon, to form the Yin and Yang Sword, it will be regarded as the first level of heavenly secret skill.
However, each of the thirty-three heavens' secret techniques is difficult to understand, and it is not easy to master it. He has never made any breakthrough in these last two steps.
Every night in the past few days, he tried to establish contact with the bright moon in the sky, trying to summon the so-called Yueyin Soul Ice. Unfortunately, he could only summon the moonlight to refine his soul over and over again.
Since the secret technique was difficult to break through, Gu Chen simply didn't think much about it and spent most of his time practicing [Instant Youth].
This is the inherited secret skill of the Emperor of Heaven, and is the key to getting started with the Emperor of Heaven's Guangyin Fist. Although the Emperor of Heaven has died and the inheritance of the Guangyin Fist has been cut off, Gu Chen feels that it is still very important.
Time on the battleship flew by like a white horse, day by day.
On this day, the endless forest sea in Nanling finally gradually disappeared, and the vegetation in the field of vision below everyone gradually became sparse. At first, there were hills and grasslands, but later, the front turned into a long stretch of yellow sand.
At this time, everyone knew that they had entered the realm of the Western Desert.
The Western Desert has scorching heat all year round and the environment is extremely harsh. As soon as you enter the territory here, terrifying sandstorms appear in the desert from time to time.
Fortunately, the sky patrol warship was flying in the clouds and had multiple layers of defensive air shields, so it was not affected by the wind and sand.
It's just that the sunshine has become more fierce, and the scorching sun is like a big fireball that is about to explode at any time.
Gu Chen was surprised to find that in the unique environment of the Western Desert, his ability to summon the true fire of the sun was several times stronger than in other places.
"The number of Stone Clan members in the West Desert is far less than that of the Nanling Demon Clan, but it is more numerous than the Ghost Clan and the Demon Clan. They are distributed in various places in the Western Desert. They live on ores and like to live in caves."
"The rulers of the Stone Clan have holy blood and have absolute authority among the Stone Clan. They live in the vast desert deep in the Western Desert."
When they arrived at the realm of the Stone Clan, the Ghost King took the initiative to introduce his knowledge of the Stone Clan to Gu Chen and the Eight Girls.
After all, he has been traveling on the mainland for many years and has extensive knowledge, which is not what a bunch of young people can compare with.
"Gu Daozi, although you have a relationship with Shi Jian, the young master of the Stone Clan, and according to rumors, he is also an excellent person, but this time we want to persuade them to go to war with Huangfu Wuji, and I'm afraid it won't be that easy. After all, compared to Nanling
The Monster Clan and the Stone Clan are weaker and have to think twice before doing anything."
The Ghost King looked at Gu Chen and added, "In addition, there is something I must tell you. When Senior Qinglin was young, he had a battle with the genius of the Stone Clan, and the two had a feud. And the genius back then is now
The clan leader of the Stone Clan, named Shi Zangfeng, is Shi Jian’s father.”
When Gu Chen heard this, he looked surprised. This was the first time he heard of such a secret.
"Senior Qinglin is your protector, so we don't rule out the possibility that the head of the Stone Clan may make things difficult for you. In addition, Huangfu Wuji's sky-high price bounty has become more and more serious, and we don't rule out the possibility that the West Desert Stone Clan wants to curry favor with the new emperor of China.
, the possibility of capturing you and dedicating you to Huangfu Wuji."
"Considering that we are going to the Stone Clan's base camp and it will be very dangerous if something unexpected happens, I suggest that I go ahead and find out the Stone Clan's attitude."
The Ghost King said that when they were in Nanling, they once faced off against the demon saints. Although the hostility turned into friendship later, he did not think that the same luck would happen again.
Now that Gu Chen has won the alliance of Nanling, and the Ghost Emperor also intends to take action, his identity is even more important and there is no room for any mistakes.
"It's better for me to come forward in person. I know something about the Stone Clan. They are particularly concerned about whether others respect others. Since I want to form an alliance with them, I must show my face in person. I can't win their trust by hiding my head and showing my tail."
Gu Chen said calmly and rejected the Ghost King's suggestion.
"But……"
"No need to worry, I believe in Shi Jian's character. Even if the alliance fails, he will never betray me."
Gu Chen smiled and said, Shi Jian is one of the few true friends he has in Zhenwu Academy, and he still has this trust.
"Okay then." The Ghost King no longer objected.
…
In the huge cave, many elders of the Stone Clan were lined up on both sides of the hall, and the leader of the Stone Clan, Shi Zangfeng, was sitting on the throne at the moment.
Gu Chen is in the main hall, with black hair as black as ink and a heroic figure.
There is a white ape on his shoulders, and nine companions behind him. Compared with the many tall stone men here, they look very small.
However, when he stood there, he had a calm and calm temperament that would not change even if the mountain collapsed.
"Overlord, your wanted order has spread all over the world. I never thought you would dare to come to my Stone Clan's territory. Why are you here?"
Shi Zangfeng leaned on the throne, glanced sideways at Gu Chen, and said casually.
"The West Desert Stone Clan is facing a catastrophic disaster. The younger generation is here to offer good advice to the seniors."
Gu Chen said calmly. As soon as he said this, the surrounding Stone Clan elders all boiled.
