At that moment, in the training base…

“Reporting to the commander. Liu Chuan and the other three still haven’t been found.” It was still the muscular man in the Federation uniform who was reporting to Wu Chuanjiang.

“Are you all trash? How could you lose such a large group of four? Continue searching!” Wu Chuanjiang was no longer as calm as before. He was practically shouting.

Wu Chuanjiang was frustrated. He pulled off his shirt and threw it to the side. Meanwhile, cold sweat broke out on the muscular man’s forehead. He didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. The surrounding air seemed to have frozen.

After taking a few breaths, Wu Chuanjiang seemed to have calmed down, and he paused for a moment before he continued. “I’ll repeat it one last time. Not a single person can be missing. Do you understand?”

His imposing voice pressed down on the muscular man’s heart.

After Wu Chuanjiang finished speaking, he stared at the muscular man with a sharp gaze that could kill.

“Yes, Commander!” The muscular man also raised his head and puffed out his chest as he replied loudly. His voice was firm and resolute, but he was already smiling bitterly in his heart.

They had searched for more than ten days and had searched the entire cave. Other than the residue of the food and the rubbish left behind, they could not find any other traces.

“You may leave. I’ll give you three more days.” Wu Chuanjiang turned around and ignored the muscular man.

“Yes, Commander!”

The muscular man could only retreat with a bitter smile.

…

“The boundless horizon is my love. The flowers are blooming at the foot of the endless green mountain. What is the rhythm that shakes the most?”

A familiar ringtone rang. Wu Chuanjiang picked up his phone and saw the caller’s name. Then, he was shocked.

Wu Chuanjiang pondered for a while before picking up the phone. “Hello, Master. What brings you here?”

A loud voice came from the other side.

“I heard you lost my granddaughter?”

Wu Chuanjiang’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that. However, he still swallowed his saliva and smiled apologetically. “How could that be? How could a living person be lost?”

“Since you say so, I’m relieved. I haven’t seen you in a long time. I heard that you are now Commander Wu. I’ll come to see you after the training ends. Beep, beep, beep~” Just as he said that, he hung up.

When Wu Chuanjiang heard the first half, he heaved a sigh of relief. However, when he heard the second half, he knew that he was in trouble. He couldn’t hide it anymore.

…

Meanwhile, Liu Chuan was currently sitting in the immortal boat. After familiarizing himself with the speed of the immortal boat, Liu Chuan felt that this thing was really awesome.

“How impressive, how awesome. I wish I had it.”

Unfortunately, this immortal boat was only formed from an immortal light. Right now, it was already starting to gradually turn translucent. Liu Chuan estimated that once they reached their destination, this immortal boat’s power would also be exhausted, causing it to disappear.

On second thought, the cultivation level of that green lotus was truly terrifying. A strand of immortal qi casually released by it could construct an immortal boat, even though the boat could only be used once.

However, given the cultivation level of the green lotus, why didn’t it personally take action? It actually asked a mere quasi-martial artist like him to handle this matter.

Was it because there was a restriction that prevented the green lotus from leaving this place? Or was it because the green lotus couldn’t come out personally, or was there another reason?

However, Liu Chuan knew that although this matter seemed simple, it definitely wouldn’t be so easy. Otherwise, why would the green lotus have to pay such a huge price to give him a lotus seed?

Liu Chuan had never thought of taking the two lotus seeds for himself. Putting aside the fact that he did not have the ability, even if he did, he still had his morals.

Furthermore, he still needed to rely on this treasure to save his two companions.

Just like that, the immortal boat continued to travel. However, not long after, Liu Chuan gradually began to feel that something was amiss. Although the immortal boat was still flying at a very fast speed, the speed at which it was dissipating was way too fast.

He had yet to travel across this huge sea region. Although the green lotus said that it was a small pond, Liu Chuan believed that it was a sea.

This small pond was so large, even larger than the Pacific Ocean. How could it be called a pond?

Although he felt that the green lotus wouldn’t trick him, it was better to be safe than sorry. After all, if he fell into the sea, it would be disastrous.

“No, I have to think of something.”

Liu Chuan had no choice but to make a Hail Mary effort. He channeled his vitality into the immortal boat.

In an instant, a huge suction force came from the immortal ship and greedily absorbed his vitality.

Indeed, the rate at which the immortal boat was dissipating was slowing down as a result.

If it were any other martial artist, they would not be able to do it. In less than a minute, their vitality would be drained dry. Only Liu Chuan, who was known as the perpetual motion machine, could give it a try.

However, Liu Chuan’s vitality was still insufficient. In terms of quality, it was on a completely different level from the immortal qi from the green lotus. Therefore, no matter how fast he replenished the boat with his vitality, he could not prevent the immortal boat from dissipating.

However, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem to support this immortal boat until they reached their destination.

It wasn’t that the green lotus wanted to purposely harm Liu Chuan, but it had used up too much energy at that time, resulting in a miscalculation. That wisp of immortal qi couldn’t completely satisfy its travel demands.

Fortunately, Liu Chuan had been careful. It could be said that he had accidentally saved his life.

Otherwise, with Liu Chuan’s current strength, if he fell into this sea region, he would almost certainly die.

The sea was not as peaceful as it looked. After all, the creatures living here were not ordinary.

Furthermore, the immortal qi from the green lotus was protecting the two of them. Otherwise, if they relied on their own abilities, they would be easily killed by the predators in the sea even if they flew in the air.

Liu Chuan had seen a huge shadow appear on the surface of the sea. It was the size of a small mountain.

The fear that he felt from the giant creature was unimaginable.

However, when the illusory figure saw the immortal boat, it gradually sank to the bottom of the sea.

Before leaving, a giant eye lightly swept over Liu Chuan. Liu Chuan immediately felt his entire body go rigid and his limbs went cold. Just how terrifying was its strength?

Liu Chuan was simply too insignificant.

After this trip to the ruins, Liu Chuan felt even more insignificant.

There were great dangers and terrors hidden in this world. After seeing that strange skeleton carriage, that massive phantom image, and that mysterious blue lotus, Liu Chuan began to urgently want to increase his strength.

In the past, Liu Chuan had never been so eager to increase his strength. However, this trip to the ruins made his desire to increase his strength even stronger.

Although it had only been a month since he started cultivating, compared to others, his cultivation speed was already extremely fast. However, he was still not satisfied.

Liu Chuan did not know the strength of the upper echelons of the human race, nor did he know the strength of the strongest human. However, he had a feeling that the overall strength of humans was inferior to the invaders of other dimensions.

Just as he was lost in his thoughts, the immortal boat finally flew out of this seemingly endless sea.

They were about to reach their destination. What was inside that straw hut? Why did they kidnap Lin Sisi and Monkey? Who was that woman in green whom the green lotus was talking about?

Liu Chuan was filled with thoughts.

Then, they finally reached the straw hut.
