There was no mistake; Feng Poyi had boldly boarded the large ship with the intention of stopping the Divine Mechanism Cannon from bombarding Yuanrong Immortal Island. Fortunately, Lu Chen returned just in time; otherwise, a great battle would have been unavoidable.
If it weren't for Hao Seat personally coming out to mediate, you would not have been able to leave Yuanrong Immortal Island so easily today.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Feng Poyi, you know that it was Hao Law King who personally mediated this. Since that's the case, what are you still doing here? Don't seek trouble for yourself; don't think that flattening your Yuanrong Immortal Island is just a joke."
At that moment, a colorful light rose above Yuanrong Immortal Island, shooting straight into the sky. It could be seen within a radius of several miles. This was the summons from the Xuan Huang Sect's disciples, indicating that it was an order from Hao Law King for everyone to retreat.
Seeing this scene, Feng Poyi shook his hand, feeling somewhat unwilling. "You got lucky this time, but next time, there definitely won't be such good fortune."
With that, Feng Poyi flew down from the large ship, skimming over the water's surface. In just a few breaths, he disappeared from everyone's sight, diving into the forest on the island and vanishing without a trace.
"We're leaving."
Lu Chen said this, and soon someone brought a black cloth to cover the Divine Mechanism Cannon. The two large ships once again advanced westward, riding the wind and breaking the waves without any further obstacles.
Accompanied by Yue Shaoting, they returned together to Lu Chen's cabin.
As soon as they entered the room, Lu Chen nearly collapsed to the ground, startling Yue Shaoting. The companionship turned into support as Yue Shaoting quickly helped Lu Chen and asked anxiously, "Lu Chen, what's wrong? How did this happen?"
Yue Shaoting's face turned pale; she was so frightened that she didn't dare speak loudly. In her memory, she had never seen Lu Chen so weak before—his face was pale, he was gasping for breath, and even his gaze seemed unfocused.
"I've exhausted my spirit and overused my Yin Yuan. Yuanrong Immortal Island and Nine-Dragon Seat truly live up to their reputation," Lu Chen said.
With Yue Shaoting's support, he sat down on the bed and immediately began to regulate his breathing and recover his Yin Spirit.
He had first exchanged blows with Feng Poyi and then fought against King Jun at Nine Above. His Yin Yuan had long been depleted; if it weren't for the Treasure Guardian Beast's assistance, he would have likely exhausted himself to death by now.
Without the Yuan Yin Pearl, the consequences are indeed severe. This is the first time Lu Chen has allowed his Yin Yuan to deplete to this extent, reaching a complete bottom.
King Jun is a super expert at the second or third level of Void Immortal. To avoid showing weakness, Lu Chen did not reveal his vulnerabilities early on. He maintained a tough demeanor in hopes of seizing a slim chance of survival.
If he had shown signs of defeat too soon, he would likely have already been captured and taken to Yuanrong Immortal Island to await judgment.
This time, with Lu Chen's Yin Yuan depleted, he truly experienced what it means to be internally weak. His mind struggled to focus, his gaze was very scattered, and he felt dazed, only wanting to collapse onto the bed and sleep deeply.
Fortunately, at this critical moment, Lu Chen recalled a divine healing technique specifically for mental exhaustion found in the Lesser Yin Classic of Eastern Shaolin.
Without hesitation, Lu Chen immediately began to follow the records of the divine healing technique, reciting the Sutra as he gradually repaired his Yin Spirit.
Several hours later, Lu Chen let out a long sigh, appearing extremely fatigued.
Yue Shaoting had been anxiously waiting nearby. Seeing Lu Chen wake up, he hurried over and said, "Lu Chen, are you alright? You scared me just now."
Yue Shaoting looked pale and was still filled with concern. However, seeing that Lu Chen had awakened and appeared much better in spirit and condition eased his worries somewhat.
Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. Fortunately, everything has passed. The grievances with Xuan Huang Sect and Nine-Seat Spirit Head have been established. I will definitely seek them out personally for justice when I have the chance."
Lu Chen's eyes were grim, and his tone was quite fierce. This time, several old figures from Xuan Huang Sect had caused him great suffering, nearly leading to the destruction of his Yin Spirit and resulting in his death.
However, this experience also made him realize the importance of Yin Yuan. The depletion of Yin Yuan is an issue that every Yin God Practitioner must face.
Previously, Lu Chen had received a Yin Yuan Pearl from his master Li Shian. Each time he faced battle or practiced cultivation and suffered a loss in Yin Spirit, the Yin Yuan Pearl would immediately decompose a large amount of Yin Yuan to replenish him.
However, later on, the Yin Yuan Pearl was completely consumed in order to provide divine healing for Ye Nanzhai. In the following days, Lu Chen did not face any difficult battles against Yin Spirits, nor did he experience significant consumption of Yin Yuan. Even if there was some consumption, it was not as severe as this time, allowing him to recover afterward.
But this time was truly devastating; he nearly could not be saved. If the Yin Spirit were to shatter, even the strongest Flesh would be useless, and it would only die along with the Yin Spirit.
Regarding the scarcity of Yin Yuan, major sects such as the Five Element Sect, Star Gate, and Yin Yang Gate would refine some elixirs themselves and consume them before or after battles.
As the medicinal effects spread, his Yin Spirit would naturally receive a small amount of Yin Yuan replenishment. If Lu Chen could possess a treasure like the Exogenous Stone that provided unlimited energy, that would be great. However, such a precious item is not easily obtained.
Even if such a treasure existed, many experts and leaders would fight fiercely to acquire it; there would be no chance for Lu Chen.
“How far are we from Yuanrong Immortal Island?” Lu Chen asked Yue Shaoting casually.
Yue Shaoting frowned slightly, her dark eyes blinking in confusion as she replied, “At least several hundred miles away. What’s going on?”
Lu Chen shook his head and sighed in relief. “That’s good. I was worried that Yuanrong Immortal Island might be planning an ambush against us. If that were the case, given my current state, I wouldn’t be able to respond at all.”
Once he confirmed that nothing unusual had occurred, Lu Chen finally felt at ease. Since the people from Yuanrong Immortal Island had not pursued them, it meant they had not realized that he was in a state of utter exhaustion.
“Alright, Lu Chen. Since you’re fine, I’ll head out first. There are some matters on the ship that I need to arrange; you can’t spare yourself right now.”
Seeing Lu Chen's current condition, Yue Shaoting knew he wouldn’t recover anytime soon, so she had to take care of things herself.
Lu Chen nodded and said, “Shaoting, while I’m not around, everything on the ship will depend on you. Although Big Shuang and Old Mu know how to operate things, they don’t have the energy for it!”
Yue Shaoting nodded and then exited the cabin to attend to her own tasks.
Afterward, Lu Chen sat alone on the bed and began his healing process again, continuously reciting the Sutra, gradually repairing his Yin Spirit. In this state, it would take at least eighteen days to fully recover.
Fortunately, the journey to Giant Barbarian Island was entirely by water, across the vast ocean, so nothing major was likely to happen. This provided Lu Chen with an opportunity to quietly enter seclusion.
Lu Chen meditated in the cabin, closing his eyes. Slowly, it felt as if he had fallen asleep.
Little did he know that this sleep lasted for over ten hours. During this time, Lu Chen did not wake up even once, not even when Yue Shaoting quietly entered several times.
It wasn't until a clear morning half a month later that Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes. He knew that his healing had been successful and immediately began to sense his Yin Spirit, discovering that there was no damage and that it had been restored to an almost perfect state.
He could faintly feel that a long time had passed, but he couldn't calculate exactly how long it had been.
Now that his Yin Spirit had fully recovered, he still felt a bit dazed. He pushed open the door and stepped outside onto the deck. For the first time, he felt that the sunlight was incredibly bright and dazzling.
He met with Lian Dashuang and Old Mu, both of whom understood what had happened and did not ask many questions before going about their own business.
When he saw Yue Shaoting, Lu Chen asked, "How long have I been asleep? It feels like we are not far from Giant Barbarian Island."
"Indeed! It's been a full half month," Yue Shaoting sighed as he handed Lu Chen a telescope. Lu Chen was surprised; waking up after half a month felt truly remarkable.
Now he could almost imagine what Yuanmo Laozu must have felt after sleeping alone for thousands of years and then waking up.
Holding the telescope, Road Car looked ahead and indeed saw the outline of a large island. However, it appeared dark and shrouded in mist due to the distance.
According to Yue Shaoting, that is Giant Barbarian Island. Giant Barbarian Island is a large island, much bigger than Yuanrong Immortal Island.
After all, there is a country above it, along with countless powerful families and a population of millions, making it quite a significant nation.
At this moment, looking through the telescope, Giant Barbarian Island appears to be like a new continent, vast and expansive.
Next, the two large ships continued forward, and after just a few hours, they arrived at a large port.
In this port, there were over a hundred large ships docked. Some were carrying cargo on their decks, while others were directly transporting people. There were also some fishermen around, making it look like a prosperous port. Of course, a prosperous port implies that there is a wealthy city behind it.
However, despite being a large port, it seemed that from the very beginning of its design, there was no consideration for accommodating the Thousand-Step Ship.
The large ships driven by Lu Chen and others simply could not enter; if they attempted to dock forcibly, they would either get stuck or capsize.
As the two massive ships slowly approached from afar, they immediately attracted the attention of most people, who marveled at such grand vessels and cast curious glances at them.
These kinds of large ships were something they had never even heard of before, let alone seen with their own eyes.
