Zou Feng had never heard anyone mention that the flow of time was different between the Eastern Earth Immortal Realm and Great Yan.

Therefore, if the old man named Liu wasn’t talking nonsense, there was only one possibility...

’Something must be wrong with the Glazed Immortal Palace!’

Most likely, the flow of time within the Glazed Immortal Palace was different from that of both Great Yan and the Eastern Earth Immortal Realm.

Next, Zou Feng continued to ask the old man Liu a few more questions about Great Yan.

He finally concluded that the old man had indeed been to Great Yan and wasn’t just making things up.

The old man even knew that before Great Yan fell, the reigning Emperor had fought an earth-shattering battle with the Biyou Palace Master.

It was after that battle, along with the disappearance of numerous top experts, that Great Yan plunged into unprecedented chaos.

Not long after the chaos began, a faction called the Hongxing Gang rose to prominence...

However, the old man only knew the general gist of it; he had no idea about the specifics of how the Hongxing Gang seized control of the world.

As for Zou Feng, it wasn’t surprising that the Hongxing Gang had managed to ride the wave of chaos, stir up a storm, and ultimately take over the world.

First of all, nearly all of Great Yan’s top experts had been wiped out by the Glazed Immortal Palace in one fell swoop.

Tian Yun and Bian Yixia had long since cultivated the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill with him. This was a Daoist Art from the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect. Even without him, they might not be able to advance further in it, but their cultivation of other Cultivation Skills would still benefit immensely.

Furthermore, within the Hongxing Gang was the Iron Blood Gu Poison Group, which he had personally handpicked and painstakingly trained.

When those dozens of vigorous and formidable Poison Cultivators took to the battlefield and performed the Shaking Flower Hand together, the effect would likely be no less than his own personal use of the Poison Domain back then...

’I just don’t know who became the Empress after they took over the world. Was it Tian Yun, or did Bian Yixia take the role?’

’Or perhaps, tempted by power, the two of them have already turned against each other?’

’That shouldn’t be the case. After hitting a bottleneck in the True Qi Realm, anyone would set their sights on taking the next step toward longevity.’

’What’s a little power in the Mortal Realm compared to that? It’s as transient as a floating cloud.’

’In any case, I have to go back myself to find out what really happened.’

At this thought, Zou Feng stopped dwelling on it.

"Thank you!"

As he spoke, he casually tossed two Lower-Grade Spirit Stones to the old man Liu.

The old man cupped the Spirit Stones, his excitement overflowing as he began to thank Zou Feng profusely.

"Old Liu, do you happen to remember how to get to Great... er, the Hongxing Dynasty, I mean?"

The old man replied without hesitation, "I remember, I remember! I once served as a ship’s captain back in the day..."

Luo Kai, the Gang Leader of the Azure Dragon Gang, interjected, "That’s right. Old Liu was indeed a master sailor back in his day. He should be able to help Fellow Daoist Leng!"

"Then I’ll have to trouble Boss Luo to make the arrangements as soon as possible. If this trip goes smoothly, there will be a generous reward afterward!"

Before he even finished speaking, Zou Feng took out thirty Middle-Grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Pouch.

Outside the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, Immortal Fate Points weren’t as useful.

Moreover, operating the Flying Celestial Ship also consumed Spirit Stones, so Zou Feng had exchanged for a large amount before leaving the sect.

The thirty Middle-Grade Spirit Stones instantly made Luo Kai’s eyes light up.

Converted to Immortal Fate Points, that was over three hundred points.

For an Inner Sect Disciple of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, a little over three hundred Immortal Fate Points was nothing special.

But for the leader of a minor, fringe faction like Luo Kai, it was nothing short of a massive windfall.

In fact, Luo Kai had joined the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect in his younger years.

Unfortunately, during his time as an Outer Disciple, he failed to break through to the Spiritual Energy Realm within ten years.

Thus, the Inner Sect was forever out of his reach.

When the ten-year limit was up, he ultimately gave up on going to another Outer Realm to serve as a Labor Steward, choosing instead to leave the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect and become a Loose Cultivator.

After all, he felt that if he couldn’t climb any higher, it was better to be free.

Fortunately, his luck was good afterward. He muddled along and eventually managed to reach the Spiritual Energy Realm, establishing the Heavenly Dragon Gang.

He had been living a relatively carefree life, but seeing Zou Feng, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, casually pull out thirty Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret.

’If only I had worked harder back then, would I...?’

’No, I was already working hard enough at the time. But my Talent was limited, I had no fortuitous encounters, and I didn’t even have enough courage to risk it all on a gamble...’

"Boss Luo?" Seeing Luo Kai staring blankly, Zou Feng frowned. "Are the Spirit Stones not enough?"

As he spoke, he casually took out another ten Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.

This made Luo Kai’s feelings even more complicated.

"It’s enough, it’s enough, Fellow Daoist Leng! I was just thinking about which captain to send with you..."

"How about... I personally accompany Fellow Daoist Leng on this trip?" Luo Kai quickly made up his mind.

Zou Feng couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.

After all, if one were to consider who the most capable captain in the entire Heavenly Dragon Gang was, it was undoubtedly Luo Kai.

With Luo Kai present, they would surely be able to avoid many dangers while sailing the Fallen Immortal Sea.

As for his Flying Celestial Ship...

Zou Feng didn’t plan on using it on the Fallen Immortal Sea for the time being.

First, it could serve as his trump card, to be used only in emergencies.

Second, after picking up Tian Yun and Bian Yixia, he would most likely need the Flying Celestial Ship for the return journey to ensure the two women’s safety.

But the thing consumed too many Spirit Stones, so for now, it was best to save them when he could.

"Fellow Daoist Leng, if there’s nothing else, we can set off first thing tomorrow morning!" Luo Kai was a man of action. Once he made a decision, he immediately set a departure time.

’So soon!?’

When Zou Feng learned they could set off so quickly to search for the former Great Yan Territory, his first reaction wasn’t joy or satisfaction, but a hint of doubt.
