Chapter 2378: Chapter 2378: Heavenly Domain Flying Boat [Three Updates]

Having settled on a specific date to head to Kunling Heaven, the next step was to give certain instructions to the Mystic Moon Trading House.

This departure would mean a long absence from Faro Heaven.

Since Wuxia Immortal Venerable would accompany him to Kunling Heaven, within Faro Heaven, only the Fiery Flame Extreme Territory held significant importance for Jing Yan. Over these millennia, Jing Yan had accumulated a considerable amount of Fire Cloud Crystal Stone. However, the Fiery Flame Extreme Territory would continue to produce a large quantity of Fire Cloud Crystal Stone in his absence. Mystic Moon Trading House would store all Fire Cloud Crystal Stone produced by the Fiery Flame Extreme Territory, aside from the necessary expenditures, at the headquarters of Mystic Moon Trading House.

Mystic Moon Trading House itself also received a ten percent share of the Fire Cloud Crystal Stone produced by the Fiery Flame Extreme Territory, which was gifted by Jing Yan to the Mystic Moon Trading House.

With Mystic Moon Trading House managing the situation, and with the oversight of individuals such as Wu Guo Heavenly Lord and Yangshan Master, there should be no unexpected incidents in the Heavenly Domain, and everyone should refrain from coveting the Fiery Flame Extreme Territory. Besides, although Jing Yan temporarily left Faro Heaven, no one could guarantee one hundred percent that he would not return. Anyone who coveted the Fiery Flame Extreme Territory would meet their doom when Jing Yan returned to Faro Heaven.

Three days later, Jing Yan and Wuxia Immortal Venerable discreetly left the headquarters of Mystic Moon Trading House. Upon departure, Jing Yan explicitly declined the farewell from Elder Kuo Lian and others, finding it unnecessary.

After ten days, Jing Yan and Wuxia reached the node leading out of Faro Heaven to the outer regions of the Heavenly Domain.

In truth, with the power of Jing Yan and Wuxia, they could easily break through the space barrier of the Heavenly Domain from any location. However, they could not do so because it would result in getting permanently lost in the vast Chaotic Primordial Space.

Leaving the Heavenly Domain through the node was different — beyond the node lay a fortress adjacent to the Heavenly Domain. This fortress, called the Chaotic Primordial Fortress, was said to have been constructed by an incredibly powerful Immortal Emperor. That Immortal Emperor had built Chaotic Primordial Fortresses not only outside the nodes of Faro Heaven but also outside every Heavenly Domain node.

While the Chaotic Primordial Fortress was adjacent to the Heavenly Domain, it was technically still within the Chaotic Primordial Space. Only an Immortal Emperor could construct such a fortress within the Chaotic Primordial Space.

Because the Chaotic Primordial Space was almost devoid of nature’s spiritual energy, it was immensely difficult for cultivators to replenish divine power there. The primary method to replenish divine power in the Chaotic Primordial Space was to use resources like Black Crystal Stone or Elixirs.

Of course, the Chaotic Primordial Space also held some unique items, such as extremely rare minerals. An example is the Black River Heavenly Monarch, who enhanced his power significantly by integrating a Black River within the Chaotic Primordial Space and was able to kill an ordinary Immortal Venerable with Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm cultivation.

Black River Heavenly Monarch had not appeared in Faro Heaven for a long time. Jing Yan had even instructed Mystic Moon Trading House to investigate the whereabouts of Black River Heavenly Monarch, but even they had discovered nothing. Eventually, Mystic Moon Trading House surmised that the Black River Heavenly Monarch had likely left Faro Heaven, possibly entering some kind of ruins.

Within the Chaotic Primordial Fortress, many cultivators gathered. These individuals were mostly planning to depart from Faro Heaven to other Heavenly Domains. To reach other Heavenly Domains, one must ride the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat. To travel slowly through the Chaotic Primordial Space to another Heavenly Domain was a pipe dream; only an Immortal Emperor-level being could achieve such a feat, otherwise, it was impossible.

Moreover, Heavenly Domain Flying Boats were not available every day. These flying boats that traveled between Heavenly Domains came to Faro Heaven roughly once every ten thousand years. Jing Yan had chosen this time to travel to Kunling Heaven precisely because the next Heavenly Domain Flying Boat would soon pass by Faro Heaven’s Chaotic Primordial Fortress.

In the Chaotic Primordial Fortress outside Faro Heaven, there were about ten thousand cultivators. Among these cultivators, most were ordinary Nether Sky Realm or Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm, with very few All Things Realm cultivators. This was because All Things Realm practitioners found it difficult to afford a ship ticket.

Indeed, boarding the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat required buying a ticket. Even the lowest-level tickets were beyond the means of an All Things Realm practitioner. Nether Sky Realm cultivators also found it burdensome to purchase tickets. To travel to other Heavenly Domains, some Nether Sky Realm cultivators spent their entire life’s savings on a low-level ticket.

Among the ten thousand cultivators in the fortress, not all planned to head to other Heavenly Domains. A small number were attempting to try their luck in the Chaotic Primordial Space. Everyone knew that the Black River Heavenly Monarch had integrated a Black River in the Chaotic Primordial Space, and many believed they might have similar luck. Even if they didn’t encounter a Black River, finding one or two unusual minerals could lead to substantial wealth.

However, history showed that even finding one or two minerals from the Chaotic Primordial Space was exceedingly difficult. Only a few cultivators were fortunate enough, while the majority, after spending billions of years and vast resources in the Chaotic Primordial Space, ended up with nothing.

After entering the Chaotic Primordial Fortress, Jing Yan and Wuxia did not disturb the cultivators within. Both wished to avoid causing a sensation. In Faro Heaven, Jing Yan’s fame likely surpassed even Wu Guo Heavenly Lord. These Nether Sky Realm and Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm cultivators were likely aware of Jing Yan’s name, although few had seen his appearance.

Those who had seen Jing Yan paled in comparison to the large number of cultivators overall, accounting for a very small percentage.

"Wuxia, the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat should arrive at the Chaotic Primordial Fortress within two months. Let’s patiently wait here," Jing Yan said to Wuxia Immortal Venerable somewhere within the fortress.

"Mm." Wuxia nodded.

As long as she was with Jing Yan, she didn’t care where they were. Even living in the barren Chaotic Primordial Fortress forever, she would not complain.

The Chaotic Primordial Fortress had a few simple structures, but not many. These buildings had been claimed long ago by cultivators who arrived at the fortress early. Therefore, Jing Yan and Wuxia Immortal Venerable had to find a secluded spot to wait for the arrival of the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat. Due to the lack of management within the fortress, order was chaotic, although life-and-death battles were rare. The cultivators in the fortress generally exercised restraint, as everyone aimed to travel from Faro Heaven to other Heavenly Domains and preferred not to die in the Chaotic Primordial Fortress. Even if conflicts arose, without knowing the other party’s details, they were unlikely to rashly engage in combat.

Days passed.

After Jing Yan and Wuxia had been in the Chaotic Primordial Fortress for over twenty days, a massive ship began to approach Faro Heaven’s Chaotic Primordial Fortress.

"The Heavenly Domain Flying Boat is here!"

"Attention everyone, the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat has arrived! Attention everyone, the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat has arrived!"

The cultivators within the Chaotic Primordial Fortress spread the news excitedly. Many moved toward the port area.
