Chapter 2118: Chapter 2117: A Lone Boat Leaf
Four Fusion Realm Experts, and hundreds of experts at least above Sixth Grade Divine Sea Realm, stood atop Xuanhai Cliff, overlooking the surrounding Yellow Sea.
That kind of momentum truly had the bearing of the strong, moving people to the core.
And within their line of sight, countless ships had already stopped beneath Xuanhai Cliff.
Besides that, there were still innumerable ships rushing over from all directions.
Looking from afar, all that entered the eye were human figures and vessels. As towering waves surged up, these ships sailed against the tide, and the sound of hulls slapping against the waves came in one after another.
"As expected of Pavilion Master Sunx taking on Disciples, this spectacle... is simply too astonishing!"
"Hehe, don’t forget, although Old Sunx is still only a First Grade Unity Realm Mighty Being, he has immersed himself in that First Grade for so many years, he’s probably about to step into Second Grade already!"
"Exactly. At a level like the Fusion Realm, the gap between one Grade and the next is like a chasm."
"These people are like pilgrims. If I hadn’t already passed the age for taking a master, I’m afraid I’d also be among this crowd right now."
"In the future I must become a powerhouse like Old Sunx as well. Wherever I pass, everyone will show respect, and won’t even dare meet my eyes!"
...
Waves of envious and shocked voices came from all around, making the corners of Sunx Xuan’s wrinkled old mouth curl into a faint smile once more.
Within their line of sight, those many ships came in all sizes.
The large ones were nearly a thousand meters long, like gigantic beasts. Many figures stood upon them, pressing down the sea waves as they headed straight toward Xuanhai Cliff.
It was obvious that those who rode such ships also had no small background.
As they advanced, the surrounding ships all dodged to either side, not daring in the slightest to block their path.
As for the smaller ships, some were only a dozen or so meters long, with dozens of figures standing upon them.
The smallest one, sandwiched among the many vessels, was somewhat inconspicuous, to the point that Sunx Xuan and the others didn’t even bother paying attention to it.
Even those at the Divine Sea Realm didn’t spare it more than a single glance.
When Sunx Xuan took in Disciples, he was unlike Golden Light Patriarch, who did it as he pleased, depending on his mood.
What he valued was true aptitude and strength, as well as the kind of... background that could shoulder the status of being his Disciple!
Without a doubt, those who rode such small craft should not have any great background, and if their aptitude was also lacking, then today there was basically no possibility for them.
Because of that, their gazes only swept over such ships in passing.
And small boats like this were not just one.
A large portion of them were here just to try their luck.
As everyone imagined, they had no great background, no high talent, no overwhelming strength...
They only hoped that their figures could, by luck, enter Sunx Xuan’s discerning eye, and from then on soar to the heavens, ascending in a single step.
Of course, not everyone was like them. For example, that...
Upright figure in white, hands clasped behind his back, long hair fluttering, that man.
He stood atop the boat, letting the surrounding waves batter about him without moving in the slightest, like a towering mountain, immovable.
His gaze was slightly lowered, and a strand of Divine Sense unknowingly spread out. At some unknown point, the figure of the Wang Family Ancestor had already entered his Divine Sense.
"So he really is here!"
When he saw the Wang Family Ancestor, the corner of Su Han’s mouth couldn’t help but lift.
After years of estrangement, that life-and-death vendetta of the past truly ought to be settled today!
"Get out of the way!"
At this moment, a furious shout suddenly came from behind.
Su Han’s brows knitted slightly. When he turned his head to look, he saw a massive shadow pressing against the countercurrent waves, rushing toward him at extreme speed.
It was a gigantic ship, several thousand meters long, an extremely shocking sight.
Even among the many ships around, this one could be counted as a true colossus.
On top of this ship stood several thousand figures, their clothes uniform, auras spreading outward.
The strongest among them was a middle-aged man, whose Cultivation Base was... Seventh Grade Divine Sea Realm!
"Those are people from the Breaking Forest Sect!"
"Breaking Forest Sect? They came too?"
"Quick, quick, move aside, or we’ll be crushed by the Breaking Forest Sect’s ship!"
"Pavilion Master Sunx truly has astonishing prestige. Even people from the Breaking Forest Sect have come to attend this disciple-recruiting ceremony."
"Alas, for a power like the Breaking Forest Sect, even if those within have no aptitude, they’ve already left us far behind. After all, behind them stands a Breaking Forest Sect!"
Some of the nearby ships recognized this great vessel and all their expressions changed. As they discussed in low voices, they scattered to the sides.
The Breaking Forest Sect was not something they dared offend.
As for Su Han’s side...
He stared at that great ship belonging to the Breaking Forest Sect, his brows knitting deeper and deeper.
The Yellow Sea was vast, spanning tens of millions of li, and there were countless routes to sail. Yet the Breaking Forest Sect’s ship just had to charge straight in his direction.
"Have they already grown arrogant to this extent?" Su Han murmured.
"Still not getting out of the way? Do you have a death wish?!"
Right then, another furious roar came from atop the Breaking Forest Sect’s ship.
Su Han’s tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and his gaze turned icy cold.
That tiny skiff which seemed about to topple at any time amidst the waves, which looked as if it could be crushed at any moment, still didn’t dodge or evade, sailing in a perfectly straight line.
...
On Xuanhai Cliff.
"Is that the Breaking Forest Sect’s ship?"
The Wang Family Ancestor laughed and said, "The Breaking Forest Sect is counted as one of the Middle-Class Entry-Level sects, yet to this day they still haven’t produced a single Fusion Realm Expert. It’s somewhat of a pity!"
"Precisely because of that, the Breaking Forest Sect is letting their people come to take Old Sunx as their master."
The Old Woman smiled and said, "The Breaking Forest Sect aren’t fools. They want to use Old Sunx’s reputation to keep expanding. Moreover, this time even that Breaking Forest Sect’s Sect Master personally came. Clearly, the one coming to take a master holds an unusual position within the Breaking Forest Sect. Quite possibly, he is that Sect Master’s son."
"Old Sunx’s influence is great—these fellows all want to get a piece of his light." The Wang Family Ancestor glanced at Sunx Xuan.
"It’s fine."
Sunx Xuan said indifferently, "For the Breaking Forest Sect to develop to this day, they are not weak. If we can truly complement each other with my Xuanhai Pavilion, it wouldn’t be a bad thing."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Complement each other?
Most likely, he wanted Xuanhai Pavilion to directly swallow the Breaking Forest Sect and reap the fisherman’s profit, right?
"That small boat... is he blind or something?" a Divine Sea Realm cultivator suddenly spoke.
They all saw that the Breaking Forest Sect’s great ship was charging forward at high speed, and would very soon collide with that skiff ahead.
Without a doubt, with the Breaking Forest Sect’s imposing manner, they absolutely wouldn’t stop; once they crashed into it, that small boat would shatter on the spot, and the figure upon it would most likely die a horribly tragic death!
