Chapter 1260 - 562: Battle of the Mysterious Sea
[...]
[The sea was a tapestry of boundless azure under the clear sky, and everywhere the eye could reach shimmered with the deep blue of the water.]
[The gentle breeze caressed one’s face, stirring waves that lapped softly. Situated in the Moon Plate Maritime Domain, one of the Eastern Mysterious Sea’s nine great domains, lay the gateway to Penglai Immortal Island from the Small Thousand World.]
[You flew side by side with Lu Wu and Moon City Purple Leaf.]
[Empress Purple Leaf, soaring through the sky on her sword, closed her eyes to search with her soul’s secret techniques, and after a short while, she sensed something, leading you and Lu Wu to continue eastward...]
[...]
[A small black dot appeared on the sea’s horizon, and as the three of you drew closer, it revealed itself to be a massive black warship.]
[As described by Crown Prince Vermilion before setting sail, this warship was the ironclad flagship of the Vermilion Mysterious Sea navy, moreover, it was the Celestial Chariot on which Emperor Wu had embarked when he personally led his campaign overseas—the Vast Sea Celestial Chariot.]
[The ship was over a hundred zhang long and more than twenty zhang wide, its entirety forged from the rare Black Iron Mysterious Metal, with sails crafted from the resilient hide of whales.]
[The vessel was armed with a variety of long-range weapons such as Thunderclap Cannons and crossbow turrets, along with heavily protected ramparts on the deck.]
[When Emperor Wu sailed, he didn’t bring a large contingent of soldiers, only a few guards to operate the giant ship, accompanied by several favored concubines from the inner palace.]
