I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities

In just three days, the Three Families Alliance Army, composed of the Wuqi Tribe, Jing People, and Great River Gang, swept through the waters surrounding Golden Sand Island, and all the islands, large and small, controlled by the Golden Sand Gang fell completely.

Because the Golden Sand Gang had already evacuated personnel from these islands beforehand, the loss wasn’t significant.

But Golden Sand Island thus became an isolated island.

By the fourth day, the Three Families Alliance Army had taken control of all the waterways, completely surrounding the stronghold of the Golden Sand Gang.

And on the fifth day, they began to land on the island.

The actions of the Three Families Alliance Army were very methodical. They didn’t rush to attack the inner city, which was as strong as a fortress. Instead, they set up camp and raised flags in the already leveled outer city area.

On one hand, the alliance army showed an intention of a long-term siege.

On the other hand, they cut wood and quarried stone, building siege machinery on-site!

Although the city walls of the Golden Sand inner city could only block Martial Artists below Tier Four, with Fan Tai, a Tier Six expert, guarding the city, neither the Wuqi Tribe, the Jing People, nor the Great River Gang dared to easily commit high-level forces to take the city.

Otherwise, even if they took the inner city, they couldn’t bear the huge losses.

The Three Families Alliance Army held an absolute numerical advantage and could completely wage a war of attrition with the Golden Sand Gang.

Using lower-level cannon fodder to pile up to victory!

As a result, the situation on Golden Sand Island remained surprisingly calm for the next few days, with not even any probing battles occurring.

But everyone knew this was just the brief calm before the storm.

On the tenth day of the Three Families Alliance Army’s massive attack on Golden Sand Island, Zhang Yuan refined the third leaf of the Qilin Grass in the depths of a reed marsh, a dozen miles away from the island.

Qilin Grass grows one leaf every hundred years, and the Treasure Grass he acquired had a total of five leaves, an extremely potent medicinal power.

The three leaves of the Treasure Grass steadily pushed Zhang Yuan’s Six Harmonies Qilin Body to the Realm of Minor Achievement.

It didn’t take Zhang Yuan long to cultivate this Qi Entry Realm Horizontal Cultivation Technique from the beginning to its current minor success.

But such rapid progress was entirely built on enormous resource costs.

And to use the remaining two leaves of Qilin Grass to push this technique to the Great Success Realm is nothing but wishful thinking.

Something that is fundamentally impossible.

Zhang Yuan estimated that if he could improve it a bit more, like an increase of ten or twenty percent, he could sneak a smile.

The most frustrating part is, because he used five hundred-year-old Qilin Grass, if he wants to speed up his cultivation in the future, he will need higher quality similar natural treasures.

Otherwise, he will have to rely on quantity.

It’s simply a bottomless pit!

Of course, although the cost of cultivation is high, the results of cultivation are quite pleasing.

Zhang Yuan clearly felt that his physique had been greatly enhanced, his muscles, bones, tendons, skin, and internal organs became more tenacious and solid, and his vulnerability to blows on many vital areas doubled.

Even his Strength increased considerably.

This made Zhang Yuan, just out of seclusion, eager to test the blade.

Because his saber was already hungry and thirsty!

Caw～

Accompanied by a crisp caw, the Red-eyed Crow suddenly descended from the sky, landing steadily in front of Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan smiled slightly and suddenly reached his hand into the water beside him.

With water splashing everywhere, he directly caught a big, lively fish!

This lush reed marsh is the favorite habitat for fish, and in the surrounding waters, who knows how many big fish are lurking. For Zhang Yuan, who mastered the Water Control Technique, it is a natural granary.

Endless supply, inexhaustible use!

Mobilizing True Essence, raising his palm as a blade, Zhang Yuan scaled and gutted the freshly caught big fish, sharing it with the Red-eyed Crow.

Though eaten raw, it had a peculiar fresh and sweet taste.

After eating this fish, weighing ten or so pounds, Zhang Yuan leapt onto the boat, untied the ropes, and rowed out of the reed marsh.

The Red-eyed Crow swept past above his head.

Zhang Yuan glanced at the distant Golden Sand Island and headed full speed in another direction.

Although he could have always stayed hidden in this secluded spot until the battle of Golden Sand Island was entirely over.

But Zhang Yuan, having taken Fan Tai’s five hundred-year Qilin Grass, had no intention of freeloading.

Most importantly, the Taowu Saber needed more blood and life to complete its final awakening.

And at this moment, Zhang Yuan had already chosen his target!

After a little less than half an hour of sailing, a Battlecruiser bearing the Jing People’s banner came into his view.

Based on tonnage and function, water warships can be roughly divided into five types: Tower Ships, Battlecruisers, Men-of-war, Fast Skiffs, and Fast Boats.

The warship Zhang Yuan seized from the Wuqi Barbarians belonged to a Fast Skiff, a fast, lightweight vessel carrying ten to twenty soldiers, both rowing and armed for combat, mainly used for harassing enemy forces.

While the Battlecruiser ahead was a medium-sized main warship that could carry one to two hundred elite soldiers and was equipped with heavy crossbows and other naval weapons.

The Golden Sand Gang originally had over a dozen Battlecruisers, all previously burned and sunk.

Zhang Yuan, piloting his small warship, headed towards this Battlecruiser, which was clearly on a mission to blockade the waterways.

And the Jing People samurai on board quickly noticed Zhang Yuan as well.

"Brother, why are you alone?"

A Jing People samurai stood at the bow, loudly calling out to Zhang Yuan: "What happened?"

He wasn’t blind; he genuinely mistook Zhang Yuan for someone from the Wuqi Tribe.

The Jing People were originally a branch of the Barbarians, having entered the Great Dream Marsh many years ago to reproduce and had firmly established their footing.

Now, they seemed more like a vanguard army of the Southern Barbarians heading north.

Blood allies with the Wuqi Tribe.

Thus, upon seeing the disguised Zhang Yuan, this Jing People samurai had not a shred of doubt.

After all, Barbarians, whether in features, physique, or temperament, had distinct differences from the Xia People!

Zhang Yuan responded gruffly: "Black Wood Great Witch sent me here with a very important message for you!"

Black Wood Great Witch?

The Jing People samurai instantly hesitated.

He didn’t know who "Black Wood Great Witch" was, but since it was a Great Witch, it must be a significant figure in the Wuqi Tribe.

The Jing People samurai dared not be negligent and hurriedly said: "I will notify Elder Wutu!"

At this time, Zhang Yuan maneuvered the warship close to the Jing People Battlecruiser.

He released the oar in his hand, suddenly rose to his full height, soaring into the air like an eagle spreading its wings, and pounced towards the upper deck of the Battlecruiser.

The numerous Jing People samurai on the deck were all taken aback.

"What are you doing?"

An enraged samurai bellowed: "Without the elder’s permission..."

Screech!

The long blade unsheathed, the blood aura flashed suddenly, and a brilliant head soared into the sky.

Bright red blood spurted ten feet away, instantly marking the beginning of a brutal battle.

With the Taowu Saber in hand, Zhang Yuan lightly tapped the deck with his toes, rising into the air once more.

The next moment, he unleashed an extremely fierce sweep of Sword Aura.

Enveloping several Jing People samurai!
