Chapter 478 The True Secret to Deceiving People: Adhering to Common Sense and Reasoning (Part 2)

Yu Lizi and the others take turns working every thirty days, which Su Che finds quite tiring. This Senior Brother Jiang is actually going to be a gatekeeper here for ten years.

Huang Tiandao's disciples really have it tough.

That being said, cultivators are easier to exploit than ordinary people. Ordinary people would be completely exhausted after working non-stop for a day or two, but cultivators could work for ten years straight. Cultivation truly is the primary productive force.

"Oh, right, right, I almost forgot, senior brother will be standing guard here for the next ten years."

"I'm just filling in for you."

Jiang Shoucheng said irritably.

"It's our class. For the past ten years, our lineage has been taking turns. Senior Brother Jiang has shouldered this responsibility all by himself with his noble character. Which of us brothers doesn't admire him?"

"A bet lost is a bet lost, why all the fuss?"

Jiang Shoucheng was completely unlike his composed self when they first met; he absentmindedly flicked his whisk.

There seemed to be a special aura surrounding that Senior Brother Li; even the most serious person would become unserious in his presence.

"Oh no, that's not right."

Li Shouchang shook his head.

"You're slacking off, you should have called Junior Brother Su and Uncle Su over."

Jiang Shouchang's face grew increasingly grim. He stared at Li Shouchang and said, "Since you enjoy chatting so much, why don't you take my shifts for a few months and let me rest? Besides, have you ever thought about what you should call Junior Brother Su when I call him Junior Uncle?"

Li Shouchang said with a smile, "I don't mind. I can call Junior Brother Su Master."

“I just called Uncle Wei ‘Grandmaster Uncle’, hmph.”

Jiang Shoucheng gave him an impression that he was nothing special.

No, you can call me Master Huang Tian if you don't care, but I'm worried about what might happen to Master Huang Tian.

It took Su Che a while to understand what the two brothers were talking about; they weren't from the same generation.

Ultimately, it all comes down to the little fox.

Mo Jiaoyu, like Yu Lizi, was a direct disciple of Huang Tiandao. From this perspective, Li Shouchang and Jiang Shoucheng were both fellow disciples of Su Che.

However, from another perspective, Mo Jiaoyu and the little fox are both from the Cloud Recesses of the East Sea.

Yes, a fox.

Seniority is a very mysterious concept because it has its own set of rules.

For example, according to the ranking in Cloud Recesses, Mo Jiaoyu's generation is one generation lower than the little fox's.

If you start from this point, Su Che would naturally become the elder.

So, when Jiang Shoucheng and Yu Lizi first entered the palace, they jokingly addressed each other as "Grandmaster Uncle," perhaps they were just trying to amuse each other here.

However, this also shows that Mo Jiaoyu's lineage is indeed quite close to Yu Lizi.

Otherwise, they wouldn't make such a joke.

"After all that talk, what exactly are you taking Junior Brother Su to do?"

Jiang Shoucheng looked at Su Che and said, "Junior Brother Su, remember this: he's not a good person." "Senior Brother Jiang loves to joke. This time, we're on Master's orders to take Junior Brother Su to the outer realms to practice the Yin-Yang Yuan Magnetic Aurora Orthodox Method. Uncle Wei specifically arranged for us to do this."

"The outer void? Junior Brother Su is only at the level of a pivotal cultivator. How can he withstand that chilling cold, not to mention the various baleful auras? Are you prepared with your star raft?"

Li Shouchang smiled and said, "We've already made arrangements, so don't worry, Senior Brother. You can stay here and keep watch, while we go off to enjoy ourselves."

After saying that, Li Shouchang pulled Su Che forward. When they were about to reach the edge of the mountain gate, Li Shouchang pulled something out of his sleeve and threw it out.

The thing pushed itself through the void and transformed into a massive ship, tens of feet long, made entirely of gold and iron, covered with various mysterious runes and diagrams, its extraordinary nature immediately apparent.

"Then, to travel in this outer void, we'll mostly have to rely on this star raft. Junior Brother Su, take a look at this Primordial Abyss Boat that I've trained—what do you think of its quality?"

As he spoke, he gestured and danced quite provocatively towards Jiang Shoucheng in the distance.

Su Che looked at the boat-shaped magic artifact. It was surrounded by a layer of magnetic light, and its appearance was quite similar to the Yin-Yang Yuan Magnetic Aurora Orthodox Method that he was currently practicing. It was this magnetic light that isolated the inside from the outside and tightly wrapped the star raft.

“Besides the Heavenly Demons, there are all sorts of malevolent energies in the void. Cultivators cannot stay there for long. Void-walking cultivators have the Void-walking Technique to protect themselves, but there are many people in the outer heavens who are not yet capable of Void-walking, and some even have no cultivation at all. So naturally, they need this Star Raft to travel.”

Li Shouchang said with considerable pride, "Senior brother, I trained this Cave Abyss Boat myself. It has now reached the seventy-second level of Earthly Fiend Number. Not to mention ordinary fiendish energy, I can move freely even when I see a large group of Heavenly Demons."

Su Che nodded upon hearing this.

The universe is never short of high-energy rays, and the almost vacuum-like cold space is also a great enemy of living beings. People who walk in the void naturally don't care, but cultivators have also developed various magical artifacts to travel through.

Su Che leaped up and boarded the Cave Abyss Divine Ship. The deck of this star raft was very spacious, about seven or eight zhang wide and several tens of zhang long. Although it had no mast and the ship's tower was not very tall, the ship's shape was still clearly visible.

"What a huge star raft!"

"I'm just a small fry. The big merchants like the East China Sea Rakshasa Sea and the Cloud Peak Society all have floating cloud boats, shaped like mountains, floating in the air. Those are the real big guys. The Divine Firmament Dao has thirty-six Nine Heavens Wrath Divine Boats, all presided over by tribulation-level figures. Even the Lord of the End of Dharma would find it difficult to withstand their power. I'm just a mere Earthly Fiend Number Perfection. I'm still far from it!"

Li Shouchang boarded the Cave Abyss Divine Ship and connected his magical power with the Star Chariot. The Star Chariot immediately started moving slowly and gradually increased its speed.

Later, Su Che could only see the Huangtiandao Sect behind him shrinking smaller and smaller until it became a tiny point of light in the void.

The dazzling brilliance and majestic celestial aura vanished in an instant, leaving only faint starlight and the cold universe before one's eyes.

This seems to be the central theme of everything.

"Junior Brother Su, is this your first time visiting the outer void?"

Li Shouchang stretched comfortably.

Su Che nodded.

The various changes within the Cave Abyss Divine Ship are largely due to the numerous talismans that make it up. These talismans, following mysterious principles, form an organic whole that can even move automatically and respond further as needed.

It was precisely this setup that allowed Li Shouchang to have the leisure to joke and laugh with Su Che at such high speeds.

"Come on, your senior brother will show you something good."

The Cave Abyss Divine Ship was operating at high speed, and Su Che could see the neon light it created as it sped through the void, a vibrant and dazzling green.

With a surge of qi and blood, Su Che finally saw the good stuff that Li Shouchang had mentioned.

Because this good thing is just too conspicuous.

The moon, or more specifically, the lunisolar star.
