Unsheathed

Chen Ping'an had traveled on intercontinental ships three times in the past, so he knew that this immortal ship, Azure Garb, was already slow to begin with. Unexpectedly, however, the immortal ship took many detours along the north and northeastern border of the Azure Phoenix Nation, allowing many groups of passengers to disembark.

After leaving the Azure Phoenix Nation, Chen Ping'an initially thought that the immortal ship could finally speed up. However, this was not the case, and the immortal ship continued to dock at many ferry stations in a vassal state located to the north of the Lofty Sky Nation. In the end, it directly came to a hovering stop above the Central Mountain of the vassal at noon, with an announcement made to the passengers that they would rest here and continue their journey tomorrow morning.

Passengers could disembark to enjoy the scenery on the Central Mountain, and there was coincidentally a rock gambling event that was held four times every year. As such, passengers could also take this opportunity to make some small bets and have some fun. It would naturally be best if they enjoyed great fortune and made a huge return on their investments.

The lamplight rocks in the Central Mountain of the Sky Holding Nation were referred to as "mini Dawn Cloud Mountains," and if one gambled correctly, they could use a few snowflake coins to obtain some high-grade lamplight rock essence. If the rock essence were as large as a fist, then one could become filthy rich in a single night.

Ten years ago, a vagrant cultivator had used his entire savings of twenty-six snowflake coins to purchase a large block of lamplight rock that no one else fancied. In the end, however, the rock was cut to reveal fiery crimson lamplight rock essence that was worth an impressive thirty lesser heat coins.

Of course, passengers could also choose to remain on the immortal ship to rest if they didn't want to disembark.

Chen Ping'an was rendered speechless after listening to the explanation of a maidservant on the immortal ship. Chen Ping'an walked to the window after the maidservant left, and he glanced at the so-called Central Mountain of the Sky Holding Nation in the distance, not knowing whether to laugh or to cry.

It was called Central Mountain, yet to say nothing of Cloud Drape Mountain in his hometown, it couldn't even compare to Downtrodden Mountain which was his private property. Indeed, Downtrodden Mountain was much more majestic than this so-called Central Mountain.

Chen Ping'an and the others prepared to disembark, and they waited for the small immortal boats to return to bring them to the "large and impressive" Central Mountain of the Sky Holding Nation.

Even thinking with his backside, Chen Ping'an knew that the deity of this Central Mountain had a mutually beneficial business relationship with the owner of the immortal ship.

While Chen Ping'an and his companions waited for a small immortal boat to arrive, the other passengers in the surroundings subconsciously moved out of their way. They didn't point and stare, but it was inevitable that they whispered to each other in hushed voices.
