“You’ve been tricked?” Li Qing saw everyone’s strange expressions and felt that the situation was not good. He hurriedly asked, “What exactly happened?”

“Look behind you.” Patriarch Wuyou pointed.

Li Qing turned around and saw that the light door that had just entered had disappeared silently.

“Damn it, there’s no way out! Aren’t we going to be trapped here?” Li Qing’s expression was extremely ugly.

“No wonder the journey went so smoothly. So this is a trap! If I had known, I wouldn’t have come in.” Dongfang You Long was also filled with regret.

“Who is it that wants to set up this trap to harm us?” Li Qing was puzzled. This Ancient Desolate Warship was an ancient item. It had sunk under the Spiritual Seabed for such a long time and had never been discovered. How could someone set up a trap to assassinate them in advance?

“Can the surrounding walls open a passageway?” Dongfang Bingyun asked.

“No, we’ve all tried. No matter how powerful the power is, we can’t shake this secret chamber in the slightest. We don’t know what kind of material it is made of. It’s incomparably hard.” Daoist Taiyan shook his head helplessly.

‘”Don’t worry, since the mysterious man has lured us into this core space, he should have a special intention. Sooner or later, he will appear in front of us. We can just wait quietly and not mess up.” Said Patriarch Wuyou.

Everyone nodded in agreement, keeping their vigilance as they sized up this core space.

This core space wasn’t too big, it was only ten zhang in radius. Basically, there was nothing. In an empty room, there was only a black stone platform in the center.

The black stone platform was divided into three floors. It was shaped like an altar and was about three feet tall. It was carved with various complicated patterns. It looked ancient and mysterious.

Above the black stone platform, there was a transparent crystal ball. At this moment, it was dim and devoid of light.

“What is this crystal ball?” Daoist Bitter Bamboo walked forward curiously and cautiously stretched out his hand, wanting to lift it up.

However, this crystal ball was connected to the stone platform, and it was as powerful as a Void Realm expert, so it was unable to shake it in the slightest.

At this moment, the crystal ball suddenly lit up, startling Daoist Bitter Bamboo. He hurriedly jumped back and retreated several meters away.

Everyone stared at the crystal ball and saw an old face, looking at them with a smile. Clearly, this old man was the mysterious person who had plotted against them!

“Who exactly are you? Why are you trapping us in this place?” Patriarch Wuyou asked.

“I am the owner of this ancient desolate warship. Everyone calls me Ancient Desolate Lord!” The old man said.

“Impossible! Ancient Desolate Lord is already dead. How could he still be alive?” Everyone cried out.

“That’s right, Ancient Desolate Lord is indeed dead. I didn’t say I was still alive.” The old man smiled and said, “Actually, I’m just a thought left behind by Ancient Desolate Lord. There’s no need for everyone to panic so much.”

“So that’s the case! It’s just a thought.” Everyone suddenly came to a realization.

Li Qing could not help but nod. He had encountered such a situation before. Back in the Yin Yang Hall, those hall masters had used this method to appear in front of him for a short period of time.

Although the method left behind by this thought was miraculous, it was not a difficult task for a Dao Realm expert.

“If it’s just a thought, then things will be easier.” Everyone thought to themselves. Such a thought was actually not very destructive. It could only control the strength of this ancient desolate warship and trap them in this place.

“I wonder why Senior trapped us here? How can we be released?” Said Patriarch Wuyou.

“Very simple, as long as you do me a favor!”

“What are you busy with?”

“Put your True Essence into this crystal ball non-stop. After the matter is completed, I will let you leave. You will never go back on your word!” Said Ancient Desolate Lord.

Everyone was puzzled. This matter was truly strange. Who knew what that crystal ball was? Was there any danger hidden within it?

“Looks like you still have something to worry about. I’m afraid that I’ll take this opportunity to plot against you. Forget it, if you don’t believe me, then just stay here and wait for death.” The old man was not anxious at all and had a faint smile on his face.

In any case, he had waited for thousands of years, so why bother about this moment? However, no one else could afford to wait. He was able to hold everyone’s pulse.

‘”If Ancient Desolate Lord wants to kill us, there’s probably no need to use such a roundabout method. I guess it should be to use our strength to drive this Primordial Warship. It won’t be bad for us for the time being.” Daoist Taiyan said.

“There is no other way to deal with the current situation. We can only follow his wishes. Let’s agree to this matter.” Said Patriarch Wuyou.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“Alright then, sit around the crystal ball and input your true essence into it.” The old man said.

Many experts moved one after another, sitting cross-legged in all directions, injecting their True Essence into the crystal ball from afar. Li Qing and the rest of the Xiantian experts were no exception.

After absorbing so much True Essence, this transparent crystal ball shone with brilliance. Li Qing instantly felt as if his consciousness had extended to every part of the Primordial Warship, as if he could control this warship.

“Could this really be the core of the Ancient Desolate Warship? As long as you refine it, you will be able to control the warship!” Li Qing was a little excited. He thought in his heart, should he secretly refine this warship?

He stole a glance to the side and saw that the seven Void Realm experts seemed to have discovered this as well. They had actually begun to attempt to refine this crystal ball. Since they had already made their move, Li Qing would not join in the fun and wait for the change.

After a while, these Void Realm experts shook their heads and sighed. Clearly, their refinement had failed.

Patriarch Wuyou smiled and said, “Looks like you’ve secretly tried it. This crystal ball should be the core of the Primordial Warship. Unfortunately, it can’t be refined. What a pity.”

“Since Ancient Desolate Lord dares to let us do this, there will definitely not be such a loophole. If we succeed in refining it so easily, I wonder if this is another trap.” Daoist Taiyan laughed heartily.

After this incident, they extinguished their strange thoughts and obediently injected their strength into the crystal ball.

These True Essences were absorbed into the crystal ball, and then poured into the various locations of the Primordial Warship along a specific route. The ancient warship trembled violently, and it began to slowly awaken like a giant beast that had been sleeping for a long time.

A majestic aura was emitted, shaking the entire Spirit Sea World. The black light on the Primordial Warship slowly condensed and became orderly. In the end, it turned into a gigantic light shield that enveloped the entire warship.

A black sail slowly rose from the interior of the warship. The power of heaven and earth quickly gathered and transformed into a boundless power that began to push the ancient warship that had been silent for thousands of years!

After many years, the long-sunk warship once again displayed its own elegance and began to sail in the spiritual sea!

“Looks like Ancient Desolate Lord wants us to inject true essence in order to revive the Primordial Warship and set sail. Where does he want to sail this warship?” Everyone stared at the crystal ball.

At this moment, a scene appeared on the crystal ball. It was precisely the scene of the spiritual sea outside. One could see that the Ancient Desolate Warship was sailing forward at an extremely fast speed, cutting through the waves as if it was going to tear apart the sea.

The gigantic black warship was dozens of kilometers long. It was simply a sea monster, even larger than any other demonic beast. The waves were tens of feet tall, and there was almost nothing that could stop them.

It was impossible to tell where this ancient warship was heading. The Spiritual Sea was vast, and without any specific markers, how could one distinguish between the north, south, east, and west?

After a while, a huge figure appeared from the ocean ahead. This was a flood dragon, roaring loudly at the Primordial Era’s warship, stirring up stormy waves, as if warning the warship to invade its territory.

However, in front of the Primordial Era’s warship, the originally enormous flood dragon was now like a small earthworm, incomparably small.

Boom!

The Primordial Era’s warship collided with the flood dragon and split it into two. It instantly killed the flood dragon, dying to the point that it could no longer die.

“What terrifying power!” Everyone broke out in cold sweat. A Demon Saint level flood dragon was actually killed by a single strike. If it hit their small bodies, wouldn’t it be shattering their bones?

‘”As expected of the Ancient Desolate Warship, the treasure that Ancient Desolate Lord painstakingly built! Even if the Ancient Desolate Warship was damaged to this extent, its strength had been exhausted, yet it still possessed such terrifying power. I really don’t know how terrifying it would be at its peak!”

Soon, another island appeared in front of him, and it lay on the path that he had to take. The Primordial Era’s warship charged forward, unparalleled in dominance. Without the slightest intention of dodging, it directly collided with him.

Boom!

Everyone felt the Ancient Desolate Warship tremble slightly, and then nothing happened. They continued to move forward steadily, as if they had crushed an ant, and they were unable to stir up a single ripple.

An island was crushed like this, leaving nothing behind!

Li Qing’s expression was strange. Could it be that the island was occupied by a tree demon? He didn’t know if the tree demon had been killed, but the thought of it made him laugh.

The Ancient Desolate Warship continued to sail forward. No matter what it encountered, it would crush everything. It was tyrannical and ruthless. Many Void experts felt their scalps go numb when they saw this scene. The power of this warship was simply too terrifying!

“If this continues, our consumption will be enormous. We don’t know how long we can last!” Patriarch Wuyou said with a frown.

“Old man, you don’t want to slowly exhaust us, do you? Let alone leave alive, we’ll be drained dry by this crystal ball first!” Someone said discontentedly.
