“Who exactly are the five ancient Five Emperors? Why haven’t I heard of their names?” Li Qing asked.

“Actually, I only know three of them. They are Primordial Great Emperor, Ancient Desolate Lord and the True Martial Emperor.” Dongfang Bingyun said, “It’s normal that you haven’t heard of their names. You might as well think about it carefully. How many ancient characters do you know?”

“What you said seems to be true. I can’t recall any famous figures from ancient times for a time.” Li Qing was stunned, “This period of history is really too long, annihilated in the river of time.”

“It was mainly because that era was too chaotic. The war lasted for thousands of years, causing history to break apart. That was why these deeds were not passed down.” Dongfang Bingyun said.

Li Qing asked again, “Isn’t the ancient era the era of Dao Sect rule? Where did five such powerful emperors come from?”

Dongfang Bingyun said, “The Dao Sect ruled for 30,000 years in ancient times. This is just an exaggeration. Actually, when the Dao Sect was at its peak, it only ruled for 10,000 years. As for the next 20,000 years, the Dao Sect has long since disappeared in name only.”

“So these five ancient emperors are people after the Dao Sect era?”

“That’s right. The gradual collapse of the Dao Sect system was the era of the rise of the Five Emperors. The Five Emperors’ struggle for hegemony lasted for a long time. Continuous wars brought great calamity to human civilization, and it was also directly related to the dark turmoil that followed. This was also the reason why their reputation was not so good.”

“Is the warship in front really an ancient desolate warship personally refined by Ancient Desolate Lord in ancient times?” Li Qing said.

“I don’t dare to be sure either. It just looks very similar.” Dongfang Bingyun smiled and said, “The real Ancient Desolate Warship is a supreme treasure. I heard that it hasn’t been completely manufactured yet. Back then, Ancient Desolate Lord wanted to use it to cross the starry sky and search for the end of the world!”

As they talked, the energy released by the Primordial Era’s Warship gradually subsided. The seven Void Realm experts tried to force their way in, but failed. They were forced back by the defensive black light.

“Let’s go over and take a look.” Li Qing controlled the Yin Yang Cloud and carried the two women to the Ancient Desolate Warship.

“Han Tie, you big bastard, don’t leave me here!” Behind him, Ye Tianxiang shouted anxiously.

“I almost forgot about her.” Li Qing frowned and waved his hand to bring her over. After all, Ye Tianxiang was Patriarch Wuyou’s disciple, so there was no reason to leave her there.

The closer he got to the pitch-black warship, the more he could feel an ancient aura of primordial desolation pouncing towards him. This was an ancient ship that had existed for countless years. It was dim and mottled with rust.

“What a terrifying aura! This ship is obviously very old. It is badly damaged, yet it can still give people such a strong pressure.” Li Qing’s heart was filled with awe.

“What are you guys doing here?” The Fourth Elder of the Blue Wave Manor frowned and said unhappily.

Li Qing said indifferently, “The cave at the bottom of the sea was too dangerous before, so I didn’t participate. Now that this warship has appeared on its own initiative and floated on the surface of the sea, could it be that you still want to stop me?”

Patriarch Wuyou said, “Forget it, this warship seems to be a little safer. Let’s go in together after the defensive energy dissipates.”

Li Qing chuckled, “Thank you, Daoist.”

Ever since the appearance of this pitch-black warship, it had been emitting black light. A spiritual sea vortex had formed beneath it, engulfing the energy of heaven and earth. This scene looked quite frightening.

Strong as a Void Realm expert, they didn’t dare to forcefully withstand this energy and charge inside, or else they might be torn to pieces. The strength of this warship was simply too powerful. Just a small portion of the energy it released had already far exceeded the range of the Void Realm experts.

“What exactly is the origin of this warship?” Daoist Bitter Bamboo asked.

‘”Is there a need to guess? It must be the legendary Ancient Desolate Warship! As for whether it was the one from the ancient times, or whether it was a replica of a descendant, it’s hard to say.” Daoist Taiyan said.

“If it really was the one from the ancient times, it would be a supreme treasure! Why would it appear in the spiritual sea?” Someone asked.

“Rumor has it that Ancient Desolate Lord wanted to cross the starry sky and search for the end of the world. He must have encountered some kind of calamity along the way, which caused him to sink into his spiritual sea.” Patriarch Wuyou guessed.

“The starry sky is vast and vast. No one has ever been able to find an end to it. This world is truly unfathomable. Even a character like Ancient Desolate Lord is unable to exhaust its secrets.” Daoist Taiyan sighed.

Time slowly passed. After about half a day, the defensive black light emitted from the warship finally faded away. The spirits of the experts lifted, and without further ado, they all turned into streaks of light and rushed towards the Ancient Desolate Warship.

Before Patriarch Wuyou left, she even used the power of heaven and earth to roll up her two precious disciples and bring them inside.

Only Li Qing, Dongfang Bingyun and Dongfang You Long remained standing in the void. There was nothing they could do about it. Their team was the weakest. Even if they rushed in early, they wouldn’t be able to snatch anything good. It would be better if they lagged behind and prepared well.

“What do you say? Should we go in?” Dongfang Bingyun asked.

Dongfang You Long said, “How can such an opportunity be missed so easily? We definitely have to enter, but we have to be careful. We encountered an extremely terrifying formation at the bottom of the sea and almost lost our lives. I’m sure this Primordial Era’s Warship won’t be able to recover much.”

“Let’s go. It’s not too late. Let’s go in. Don’t let them steal all the treasures.” Li Qing said.

They also flew towards the Primordial Warship.

The closer he got to the warship, the more terrifying it felt. There was a faint pressure, as if he had crossed the river of time from ancient times.

One could see that the hull of the ship was extremely dilapidated. Saber marks and sword holes were engraved on it. Deep wounds covered all directions. Obviously, there had been a terrifying battle. Just thinking about it made one throb. The past and the past made one look forward to it.

Li Qing tried to probe through his divine sense, but he was surprised to find that this ancient ship could block his divine sense, making it impossible for him to see through it.

All the gates of the warship were sealed off, sealed from the wind, and there were no passageways to enter. Fortunately, there was a large black hole in the abdomen of the warship. No one knew who had broken it, so they entered the warship through this hole.

The cabin was vast and boundless. It was like a huge palace. There were various palaces and ancient secret chambers inside, and one could not see the end at a glance.

“It’s so spacious inside. There are so many palaces. Did the Ancient Desolate Warships install a city?” Dongfang Bingyun exclaimed.

“It’s a great dream for Ancient Desolate Lord to explore the end of the world. Unfortunately, it didn’t succeed. I wonder what kind of calamity they encountered. Even such a huge warship sank!” Dongfang You Long sighed.

They walked towards the depths of the palace, but they didn’t find any treasures along the way. There were quite a few scraps of bronze and iron, which made them somewhat disappointed.

“Perhaps in ancient times, these scraps of bronze and scrap iron were divine weapons one after another. However, because the years were too long, they were all wiped out. Nothing could stop the erosion of time.”

“What a pity! Entering this place, you didn’t get anything. Aren’t you going to return empty-handed?” Dongfang You Long was somewhat dissatisfied. After all, he had suffered heavy injuries at the bottom of the sea, but he didn’t get anything, which was equivalent to working in vain.

“Who would have thought that this was an ancient warship? We all thought that it was the cave of a Dao Realm expert.” Li Qing smiled.

Such a damaged ship had already experienced a great battle. It had sunk beneath the seabed and had been corroded for tens of thousands of years. It would be good to be able to leave behind some scrap metal.

Unless it was a Dao Artifact grade item, it would be possible to preserve it under such circumstances. But the chances are extremely low, and it’s hard to have such luck.

“Actually, the biggest treasure here is this Ancient Desolate Warship. If we can collect it, it will be much more precious than any other treasure!” Dongfang Bingyun said.

Dongfang You Long’s eyes lit up, “That’s right, why didn’t I think of this level? This ancient desolate warship is a supreme treasure, much more precious than ordinary dao artifacts. Ancient Desolate Lord spent his entire life building it, investing endless amount of materials, but in the end, he was still unable to complete it.”

“Then how should we collect this Ancient Desolate Warship?” Li Qing said.

“I think this warship should have a core. If I can refine this core, I might be able to control this ancient desolate warship.” Dongfang Bingyun said.

“That makes sense. The most urgent thing is to find the core of the warship!” Dongfang You Long nodded and said yes, “I guess the core should be in the deepest part of the warship. Let’s go straight ahead, don’t stay in this outer area! This place is full of scrap metal.”

After a few discussions, they did not stop at the outer region, but instead headed straight towards the depths of the warship.

Surprisingly, they didn’t encounter any dangers along the way. They didn’t even have the slightest bit of array formation, and they went straight to the deepest part of the place without any obstruction.

It went too smoothly, making them feel that it was somewhat inconceivable!

In the deepest part of the warship, a door of light appeared in front of them.

“Let’s go in!” Dongfang You Long said, “Although I feel that something is wrong, there shouldn’t be any danger.”

With an inexplicable excitement, they stepped into the door of light and couldn’t help but jump in fright when they saw it.

It turned out that there were already many people standing here. It was precisely the many Void Realm experts who had entered the warship earlier. There were not a few of them, all of them here!

“You guys are also here?” Everyone had strange expressions on their faces.

“What’s the matter?” Li Qing said strangely.

“Sigh … we’ve been tricked!” Patriarch Wuyou said with a grim expression.
