Chen Mobai reluctantly permits Da Kong True Monarch to enter the Wandering Mountain's Boundary Stone relic, ensuring the Sixth Rank Spirit Vein remains with the Five Elements Sect amid the gathering of Deity Transformation experts. As Da Kong explores the interior, Chen Mobai engages Shenxi and Ni Yuanzhong in discussions about the Eastern Emperor Court's ancient history. They reveal shocking secrets of the Ghost Mother Calamity, speculating that the Human Emperor orchestrated it for ascension, while the mysterious Empress may have been an extraterrestrial demon pulling strings, and touch on later calamities like the Nine-Headed Great Saint's rise.

While Chen Mobai was chatting with Shenxi and the rest about the rumors surrounding the Eastern Emperor Court, a sudden silver gleam flashed right in front of the stele.

Da Kong True Monarch, looking a bit confused, materialized in front of the trio.

"Senior, how did it go?"

Chen Mobai saw that Da Kong True Monarch bore no marks of combat or wounds, so he inquired.

"There’s a massive beast within..."

Da Kong True Monarch held nothing back and began describing the sights he encountered inside the Boundary Stone.

The so-called Secret Realm turned out to be a forging facility dedicated to crafting war treasures for the Eastern Emperor Court, and the items produced there were quite recognizable to those gathered.

It was a Treasure Ship!

"I spotted numerous damaged and incomplete Treasure Ships, with the one in the middle being Sixth Rank, incredibly huge, likely one of the famed Six Dragon Treasure Ships from the Emperor’s armada."

Upon hearing Da Kong True Monarch’s words, Chen Mobai and the other three displayed clear astonishment on their faces.

The Emperor’s Fleet served as a key pillar for the Eastern Emperor Court to dominate the realm in its heyday, consisting of six Sixth Rank Treasure Ships, each bearing names drawn from the Six Dragons in the Temporal Dragon-Sovereign Scripture.

It’s no surprise that Fanhai Sect managed to hold off the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court in this region long ago; they commanded such formidable might.

"Which Sixth Rank Treasure Ship is that? Is it still in one piece?"

Ni Yuanzhong couldn’t resist questioning. He nursed a profound grudge against the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court; if there existed a means to counter it, he’d surely unleash it to ravage the Mysterious Sea.

"It radiates a yellow hue across its frame and subtly releases golden radiance, making it the Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship, though it suffered the worst damage out of all the Treasure Ships."

Da Kong True Monarch’s response left Chen Mobai and the trio visibly let down.

A Sixth Rank Treasure Ship, as a war treasure, carried nearly the same weight as their sect’s magic artifact, yet while the latter was tough to relocate easily, a Treasure Ship demanded activation to move.

In the era of the former Eastern Emperor Court, the Six Dragon Treasure Ships cruised through skies and oceans, subjugating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths with their overwhelming might.

Furthermore, activating a Sixth Rank artifact required Divinity Transformation cultivators, but Treasure Ships could be powered by Nascent Soul experts as long as sufficient numbers contributed their strength.

From a tactical viewpoint, Treasure Ships offered greater intimidation than magic artifacts.

This very presence loomed as a dark cloud over the Eastern Earth Holy Land in the Human Emperor’s era; whenever the Six Dragon Treasure Ships appeared above the Holy Land, it signaled the Human Emperor’s intent to hold it responsible.

"Senior, might you bring us in to see it? Our sect’s stores contain blueprints for Treasure Ships from the Eastern Emperor Court; perhaps we can find a method to fix it."

Shenxi proposed, as Ni Yuanzhong at his side nodded vigorously in agreement.

Following the collapse of the Eastern Emperor Court, the initial action by their two sects involved claiming all reachable text jade slips and transferring them to their own archives.

Blueprints for constructing the Sixth Rank Treasure Ship were among the items gathered.

Everyone clung to a faint hope of trying to restore them someday.

"Certainly."

With those words from Da Kong True Monarch, he lifted the golden and silver paired rings he held, drawing all those nearby into the Boundary Stone.

A flicker of silver light appeared, and Chen Mobai caught the sound of surging waves.

They found themselves on a pier, encircled by what seemed an infinite lake. Yet, as Divinity Transformation True Monarchs, they swiftly sensed limits through their divine senses.

This miniature realm measured about half the expanse of the Eastern Barbarians.

Within the lofty dock lay scattered rusty forging anvils and hammers, while a line of immense gantry cranes loomed motionless like slumbering colossal creatures; a gigantic Treasure Ship, fractured into three sections and unable to levitate, hung supported by them.

Chen Mobai and his companions swept their divine senses outward, rapidly surveying the entire site, which appeared to have been deserted in haste years prior, littered with shattered supplies and tools tossed aside carelessly; encircling the broad dock lakes stood various Treasure Ships in states of repair or unfinished, with some partially sunk.

"Here’s a diary."

Hovering over the lake, Shenxi discovered a small book tucked in a cabin of a capsized Treasure Ship. Its creator, a Nascent Soul cultivator, had sealed it with barriers that endured through the ages.

With a light flick of his hand, Chen Mobai summoned Primordial True Qi to descend, effortlessly breaking the seal.

In the presence of the three, Shenxi flipped open the diary. Its script matched that inscribed on the stele; after reading, he condensed the content into a quick summary.

"Following the clash with the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court and heavy casualties, the Eastern Emperor Court deserted this outpost. Xuan Guang Monarch commandeered the functional Treasure Ships, evacuating Fanhai Sect members and Court cultivators from the Eastern Barbarians."

"Yet Xuan Guang Monarch refused to accept defeat, leaving behind select Fanhai Sect disciples to watch the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court’s actions and mend these Treasure Ships, readying for the Eastern Emperor Court’s potential resurgence."

"The diary’s author, Zhang Tai’an, served as the Nascent Soul Elder of Fanhai Sect tasked with overseeing this place. He noted his Dao Heart had fractured amid the conflict with the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, so he paid little heed to his duties, allowing his underlings to grow lax. Still, certain dedicated souls persisted in efforts to restore the Sixth Rank Treasure Ship."

"A pivotal shift occurred a hundred years post Xuan Guang Monarch’s exit, when tidings from the East revealed his grave wounds proved fatal, shattering the morale of Fanhai Sect’s disciples at Wandering Mountain and halting work on the Sixth Rank Treasure Ship. Numerous yearned to depart for the East, yet absent directives from the Court, they remained bound to their stations."

"Three years following the report of Xuan Guang Monarch’s demise, a major uprising erupted at this border. Two additional Nascent Soul Elders rallied their loyal disciples to break free from this confinement, commandeering several mended Treasure Ships—one vanished into the Ruins, the other lost toward the Mysterious Sea.
