Cultivation: I Signed in with the Talent of an Immortal at the Start

Chapter 636: Fear Stems from Insufficient Strength

Upon hearing this, True God Heiyan did not reveal the slightest surprise on his face, as if he had already anticipated their reply. His tone was calm yet carried an indisputable majesty:

“Since that is the case, board my Eternal warship as soon as possible.”

He swept his gaze across the screen and added indifferently:

“When hunting the Hongmeng Giant Kun, the aftershocks will be enough to affect your small warship. Only by boarding this ship can you avoid being caught in the fallout.”

Hun Qianling hurriedly cupped her hands again and said:

“Many thanks, True God Heiyan.”

True God Heiyan nodded slightly and said no more. The figure on the screen slowly faded, and the communication was disconnected.

The moment the communication was cut, Hun Qianling’s tense mind relaxed slightly. A look of undisguised joy appeared on her face. She turned to look at Han Xuanji, her tone full of relief:

“We are truly so lucky! Just a moment ago, I was still worried that for the remainder of the journey, we would have to take the conventional routes. If we were to encounter those wandering bandits, with our strength, we would have no power to resist at all. Now that we are traveling with True God Heiyan, we will surely be able to reach the Eternal Continent safely.”

Han Xuanji nodded slowly:

“Our luck is indeed quite good. From the start of this journey until now, apart from encountering this hunted Hongmeng Giant Kun, we haven’t encountered any real danger.”

The two exchanged a glance, neither harboring the slightest suspicion in their hearts.

They were well aware that True God Heiyan was a Powerful Expert of the eternal true god realm, with unfathomable strength. They, however, were merely at the Eternal Dao Master Realm. The gap in strength between the two sides was like a chasm. For an Eternal True God to manipulate them, there was no need to rack his brains to set traps; he could crush countless Cultivators like them with a casual wave of his hand.

Han Xuanji sighed softly, his tone carrying a trace of helplessness:

“Moreover, if we hadn’t agreed just now, that would likely have been the real danger. Since a Powerful Expert of this level took the initiative to extend an invitation, it means he has given us face. If we were to stubbornly refuse and accidentally anger him, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

In the end, it is still because our own strength is insufficient, requiring us to be at the mercy of others.

Han Xuanji felt the helplessness brought about by the gap in strength once again.

He felt an urgent desire in his heart, hoping only to reach the Eternal Continent as soon as possible.

Not long after, a gentle force shot out from the large Eternal warship ahead, instantly enveloping the thousand spirits vessel.

In the next second, the thousand spirits vessel was pulled by an invisible force, and then it appeared directly in a docking area inside the large warship.

The two walked out of the thousand spirits vessel. Hun Qianling raised her hand and waved, a spiritual light flashing at her fingertips, and the thousand spirits vessel was instantly retracted by her. Afterward, the two followed the guidance ahead and walked forward.

Stepping into the center of the warship, Hun Qianling had been to such large warships before, so she didn’t feel much.

Han Xuanji, however, felt shocked.

This large warship was truly extraordinary. The corridors were incomparably wide, and the walls on both sides were embedded with crystals emitting a soft halo. They could not only provide illumination but also had the power to repel Primordial Chaos Spirits. The decorations inside the warship all exuded extreme luxury and a deep heritage.

Along the way, one could occasionally see armored Cultivators hurrying past. Most of them wore light gray armor, their bodies exuding the pressure of the Eternal Dao Master Realm. Their expressions were calm, and their steps were hurried yet orderly.

There were also a few who wore silver armor of the same style as True God Heiyan, though the designs were different; these were Powerful Experts of the Eternal True Lord Realm. Every one of them had an air of elite sharpness in their eyes, clearly making them Powerful Experts who had been tempered through thousands of trials.

When these Cultivators saw Han Xuanji and Hun Qianling, they only glanced at them indifferently without showing the slightest hint of contempt.

They already knew Hun Qianling’s identity. Although she was only from an affiliated force of the Holy Court, being able to own a small Eternal warship meant she was definitely not an ordinary person.

One must know that many Powerful Experts who had just entered the Eternal True Lord Realm could only barely manage to buy a small Eternal warship as a transition. An Eternal Dao Lord who could own an exclusive warship must certainly have a decent background.

Moreover, the aura around the two was also quite condensed, clearly indicating they had some strength.

Han Xuanji observed along the way, smiling bitterly to himself.

Once upon a time, the Limitless Primordial Realm was an unattainable Peak in his eyes. Within the Chaos, a Limitless Primordial Experts was already an overlord of a region.

But now, having stepped outside the Chaos, he truly understood what it meant by “Limitless Primordial Experts s are like dogs, and Eternal Powerful Experts walk everywhere.”

Especially this True God Heiyan; to be able to own such a large-scale Eternal warship, and coming from the Eternal Chamber of Commerce, one of the Nine Supreme Powers, his own strength must surely be among the very top tier of Eternal True Gods. Perhaps he was only one step away from that legendary Eternal Saint Realm.

And these Cultivators under him, if placed in the outside world, would all be Powerful Experts in their own right, yet they could only wait here to be dispatched. This showed just how deep the heritage of the Eternal Chamber of Commerce was, and how formidable the strength of True God Heiyan was.

Hun Qianling seemed to have sensed Han Xuanji’s thoughts and transmitted her voice:

“True God Heiyan’s status in the Eternal Chamber of Commerce is not low. Being able to command such a large Eternal warship, his subordinates are naturally all elites. We just need to behave ourselves and wait until we reach the Eternal Continent. There is no need to be too reserved.”

Han Xuanji nodded slowly, withdrew his gaze, and his determination to improve his strength grew firmer in his heart.

Only by being strong enough oneself can one stand firm in this world where Powerful Experts are as numerous as a forest, and no longer need to depend on others for survival.

Not long after, while the two were resting in the waiting room, a member of the Heiyan warship, wearing gray armor with a condensed aura, hurried over and said:

“The True God invites you. Please follow me, the two of you.”

Hun Qianling and Han Xuanji exchanged a glance, both composing their minds and nodding in response:

“Sorry to trouble you, Fellow Daoist.”

Afterward, they followed the Cultivator, passing through layers of corridors, and headed toward the main control room of the warship.

The Cultivators along the way saw this, their expressions remaining calm, though their steps showed a bit more avoidance.

The main control room of the large warship was incomparably spacious. In the center was a huge holographic screen, which was displaying the movements of the Hongmeng Giant Kun in real-time. Dozens of control consoles surrounded the screen, with Cultivators performing their respective duties, their expressions rigorous and fully focused.

True God Heiyan sat upright in the captain’s seat in front. The aura around him was even more condensed than it had been during the communication. Seeing the two enter, he slowly raised his eyes, swept his gaze over them, and his tone became a bit calmer:

“No need for formalities, sit.”

After the two sat down, True God Heiyan spoke slowly, asking as if casually:

“Do you have any important matters on your return to the Eternal Continent this time?”

During the time the two were waiting, True God Heiyan had already investigated intelligence on the Hun Family, and his gaze towards Hun Qianling had become somewhat different.

Hun Qianling stood up slightly, her expression respectful, and answered flawlessly:

“Replying to the True God, the two of us set out to sea this time specifically to hunt Primordial Chaos Alien Species and accumulate resources to Cultivate; we have no other important matters. Now that the resources have been accumulated sufficiently, we intend to return to the Eternal Continent to peacefully retreat and Cultivate, aiming to break through to a higher Realm.”

True God Heiyan heard this and nodded:

“So that is the case.”

He paused, wanting to say something but ultimately not opening his mouth. Finally, he said slowly:

“I will let you know that it will take me about ten years to hunt this Hongmeng Giant Kun. After the hunt is completed, we will return to the Eternal Continent together. It will take about thirty years to arrive, which will not be later than the time you originally expected.”

Hun Qianling hurriedly cupped her hands to thank him: “Many thanks to the True God for informing us. We will follow the True God’s arrangements.”

But Han Xuanji, who was beside her, frowned after hearing this.

An inexplicable sense of unease arose in his heart.
