Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1424 - 3: Epic Choices, Da Ye Dynasty, Star Snow Pass!

"During the time inside the Boundary Boat, it's best not to move the Purple Bone. Let's observe the situation once we're out of the Desolate Domain."

"Now we'll only discuss the plan for the period of navigation in the void."

"Farming and beast breeding, indeed, don't yield much profit. We're just a newly ascended weak kingdom, entirely unable to engage in any high-profit businesses."

"However, I will select some special crops for concentrated planting, which should help accumulate some wealth."

The group felt somewhat helpless too. If one views Great Zhou as an individual, it is now like a person with some capital but lacking in technical skills and strength.

Engaging in high-risk businesses would be suicidal; they could be devoured without leaving a trace.

Fortunately, they had Zhao Xing as a guide to find ways to earn some money; otherwise, Great Zhou would have to blindly fumble through the process, falling into unknown pitfalls.

Of course, it's possible to fall into a single pit and completely vanish.

"Chen Yu, Meng Kun, Ji Youtang, Yun Ze, Han Qing, Lu Xia, Chu Qianqiu, Zhuang Daren..."

"You will plant the listed life forms in the Dao Yuan, Shangluo, Kunyuan, and other counties."

"Dragon Horse Guard, Beast Taming Department, in the Four Seas, Gaoyuan, and other counties, raise the following beast life forms."

"From this moment on, the two major breeding areas are classified as restricted zones, requiring procedures for entry and exit."

"Yes."

...

From the eighth year of Taishi, Great Zhou began a peaceful farming period following Zhao Xing's plan.

Zhao Xing also began to have time to refine his techniques, studying under Cloud Sky Dao, this Spell master, initiating a new wave of learning.

Until the fiftieth year of Taishi, nothing significant happened for Great Zhou.

By the fiftieth year of Taishi, Zhao Xing completed his cultivation.

Because the Boundary Boat was about to enter the Void River, preparing for its first acceleration.

The fiftieth year of Taishi, the core power area of the Boundary Boat.

Purple Bone and Lu Ying were operating the power array of the Boundary Boat inside a mechanical mountain five hundred meters high.

Their bodies emerged with crystalline light points, extending into threads, some connecting upwards to the heaven, others downward to the earth.

Ji Che, Zhao Xing, Cloud Sky Dao, Luo Hou King, and others observed silently from nearby.

Though they couldn't fully comprehend it, they knew Great Zhou was at a critical moment.

"Your Majesty, noble ministers." Zhao Xing pointed at the Purple Bone and Lu Ying inside the core cabin, "Now the Xuanhuang Realm Boat is about to enter the void turbulence in the Desolate Domain."

"The void isn't static, but flows like a river. In cultivation systems, 'traversing the void' refers to entering the second layer of the cosmic void, leveraging the void's movement for accelerated flying."

"It's akin to the Yin Realm's Yin Flow, which allows Yin Gods to move quickly?" Wei Hong asked.

"You could say that," Zhao Xing nodded. "However, the Desolate Domain is very different from the Spiritual Energy Domain; it's easy to traverse the void in the Spiritual Energy Domain but much more hazardous in the Desolate Domain."

"The 'Void River' in the Spiritual Energy Domain is stable with a determined direction. The 'Void River' of the Desolate Domain is turbulent and its direction unclear, hence termed as void turbulence."

"Of course, we have a star map. We're entering a void river that is directional, though quite turbulent."

"Purple Bone and Lu Ying are now adjusting the entry angle and direction of the Boundary Boat."

Zhao Xing's explanation roughly made the acceleration principle clear.

"Zhao Xing, in the Second Origin Realm, can one accelerate travel by traversing the void?" Luo Hou King asked, showing more interest in the cultivation realm.

"In the Spiritual Energy Domain, yes, but not in the Desolate Domain," Zhao Xing replied. "The turbulence in the Desolate Domain's void could tear apart, where even in the Third Realm accidents occur easily."

"If it's not a stable void river, there's a risk of encountering a void wind, possibly being engulfed and suddenly transported to a desperate location. Even Great Divine Ability Practitioners in the Third Realm dare not use this method for travel, as that borders on courting death."

Luo Hou King couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the Desolate Domain is so feared, it's terrifying to talk about it."

The Historian Sima Yu curiously asked: "Grand Minister of Agriculture, if we don't use the void river, how long will it take to get out? Two thousand years, or three thousand years?"

Zhao Xing pondered and said: "Depends on the direction, without using void river acceleration and excluding accidents. With our current Boundary Boat aiming for Yuanhai Ancient Country's territory, it's at least five thousand years minimum."

"Without Qing Yu Zi's core power cabin, it'd take over ten thousand years."

"The longest distance is traversing along the Desolate Star System Belt, flying out of the Xuanling Star Domain."

"Our Xuanhuang Realm Boat can't get out even after flying for a hundred epochs."

The Xuanhuang Realm Boat, though called a Boundary Boat, doesn't qualify as a Boundary Star Daoist Soldier; it's merely among the Top-Grade Star Dao Weapon levels, with added materials. Qing Yu Zi's core power cabin barely reaches the Low Grade World Star Daoist Soldier level.

Saving Great Zhou half the time (without void river assistance).

With the star map, using the void river shortens the time by 10 to 20 times. The travel time is about five hundred to a thousand years.

The precise time depends on how well Purple Bone and Lu Ying time the entry into the void river.

"If Purple Bone and Lu Ying precisely hit every void river branch point, we could emerge in five hundred years."

"Any deviations can prolong this time."

Upon hearing this, Luo Hou King asked: "Without a star map, would we rely purely on luck to find an exit?"

The above conversation was contingent on Great Zhou already possessing Qing Yu Zi's star map.
