Chapter 281 Arriving at Dayu Continent
After a long voyage of half a year, Shi Chen finally arrived at Dayu Continent with the stranded monks. On the turbulent sea, they experienced attacks from sea monsters, but they escaped without any danger. The monsters were frightened away by Shi Chen's powerful strength.
The most thrilling one was when a giant sea monster several dozen feet long stretched out countless tentacles and slapped the Twelve Heavenly Defense Formation. Shi Chen appeared and tried to intimidate it but to no avail. He had no choice but to condense the artistic conception of gold, gather his mind into a sword, and swung the golden giant sword in mid-air. After cutting off two tentacles of the sea monster, it retreated in fear.
After this battle, the cultivators present realized Shi Chen’s powerful strength.
When I was in Yuanling Continent, I had already learned about the situation in the Military Affairs Hall. The coalition of human cultivators had already captured five immortal cities in Dayu Continent, all on the coast of Yezhou.
Shi Chen's destination was the newly built flying boat dock of the Yezhou coalition forces.
Where the sea and the sky meet, the outline of land can be vaguely seen, and after a moment, it gradually becomes clear.
The monks watched the gradually clearer outline of the land, their excitement evident in words. Their eyes sparkled with excitement, and their faces were filled with joyful smiles.
"We are finally reaching Dayu Continent! This journey has been really difficult." A cultivator said with emotion.
"Yes, thanks to Senior Shi, otherwise we don't know how much danger we would have encountered." Another monk echoed.
Everyone nodded, full of gratitude towards Shi Chen.
"I heard that the coalition of human monks has captured five immortal cities. I wonder where we will be assigned?" a young monk asked expectantly.
"I only learned about the coalition's arrangements when I reported to the Military Affairs Hall. I heard half a year ago that the pressure on the front line was not great." said a monk with a stern face.
"I really hope to serve under Senior Shi." A cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building looked at Shi Chen's flying boat with anticipation.
As the flying boat continued to approach the Dayu Continent, the newly built flying boat dock of the Yezhou coalition gradually came into view.
The pier stretched for miles, its broad, solid wooden trestle winding like a giant python towards the sea. On the trestle, monks in a variety of attire bustled about, some carrying supplies, others directing the docking of flying boats. It was a bustling scene.
Several watchtowers stood tall on the docks, their monks vigilantly observing the surrounding seas, ready to sound the alarm at any moment. A massive banner fluttered in the wind, embroidered with the emblem of the Human Alliance, demonstrating the dignity and unity of the human race.
The flying boats moored at the docks came in all shapes and sizes, from small, nimble single-person boats to massive, imposing transport boats. Each boat gleamed with the light of various defensive formations, emitting a powerful aura.
Around the dock, many temporary tents were erected, from which the sounds of monks' conversations and laughter could be heard from time to time. Some injured monks were receiving treatment outside the tents, and the healing lights flickered continuously.
Not far away, a massive teleportation array emanated a mysterious light. Monks continuously emerged from it to join the coalition forces. Beside the array, several high-ranking monks were solemnly discussing something, seemingly discussing the next battle plan.
The entire flying boat dock was filled with a tense yet hopeful atmosphere. It was an important stronghold of the human coalition forces on the Dayu Continent and also the frontline position for them to continue fighting.
When they were five thousand miles away from the flying boat dock, Shi Chen had already contacted Peng Xuanbo. As they approached the flying boat dock, Shi Chen removed the Twelve Zhoutian defensive formation.
At this time, at the entrance of the flying boat dock, there was a Nascent Soul cultivator standing in mid-air waiting.
More than three hundred small flying boats slowly floated over like a vast cloud.
The flags on the flying boat fluttered, gleaming in the sunlight. From afar, the team looked magnificent and awe-inspiring.
When the flying boats approached the dock, the Nascent Soul cultivator came forward with a look of amazement in his eyes.
The flying boats were neatly arranged, moving at the same speed, emitting a powerful aura. The cultivators on the flying boats were all in high spirits, their eyes filled with anticipation and excitement.
Shi Chen's flying boat was at the front of the team and was particularly eye-catching.
The defensive formations on the flying boat shimmered, as if telling of the hardships and glories of the journey. As the flying boat approached, the monks on the dock stopped their work and looked up.
They were attracted by the spectacular sight and felt a surge of admiration in their hearts.
The flying boat slowly descended, stirring up a gentle breeze. Shi Chen stepped off the boat, and many cultivators followed him, also getting out of their own boats.
The Nascent Soul cultivator quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Welcome back, Senior Shi! Your heroic deeds will surely inspire more cultivators to fight for the human race."
Shi Chen nodded slightly, looking at the bustling and busy Feizhou Wharf, his heart filled with emotion.
He turned around, clasped his fists, and said loudly to the many cultivators, "My fellow Daoists, this journey ends here. I have fulfilled my promise to you all and will safely escort you to Dayu Continent, the headquarters of the human coalition. I will also go to complete my mission. I wish you all will play a role in the coalition, drive out the sea monsters, and return the human continent to me!"
The monks in the sky clasped their fists together and shouted in unison, "Thank you, Senior Shi, for your escort! May our human race expel the sea monsters and return our continent to us!"
Shi Chen said goodbye to the other cultivators and finally looked at Li Wentian beside him. He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, after several months of practice, you have completely memorized the content of the technique. You have a good understanding, and I hope to see you shine in the future. Remember, the path of cultivation is long and difficult, so you must not slack off."
"Master..." Li Wentian knelt down and saluted deeply. Just as he was about to call Shi Chen, Shi Chen, he was interrupted by Shi Chen.
"No! I will accept this great gift, but I cannot accept the master-disciple relationship! This is just one time to settle the cause and effect of our teachings. When we meet again, we can just call each other fellow Taoists." Shi Chen said hurriedly, "Alright, let's part ways now."
After saying that, Shi Chen took Liang Ruyan and a few others, followed by the Nascent Soul cultivator who came to greet him, to the teleportation array. He wanted to meet Peng Xuanbo immediately.
Li Wentian watched Shi Chen leave, feeling secretly emotional.
He knew that his current opportunities were entirely due to the teachings of Senior Shi Chen. Although they couldn't be considered a master and a disciple, in his heart, Shi Chen had long been like a teacher and a father.
He secretly vowed to practice diligently and live up to Senior Shi Chen's expectations. If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely make a name for himself on the path of practice and make Senior Shi Chen proud of him.
He stood up and looked in the direction Shi Chen left, his eyes full of determination and resolve.
He knew that from this moment on, he had truly embarked on his own journey of cultivation. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, he would face them bravely, for his own sake and in order not to disappoint Senior Shi Chen's painstaking efforts.
After Shi Chen left, many monks on the dock began to pack up their flying boats and head towards the Military Affairs Hall. They had to report first and arrange military affairs in a unified manner.
Li Wentian also followed the crowd and disappeared on the pier avenue.
