On the Avenue.

Chapter 552 Return to Homeland
Black Pot looked at him suspiciously: "Woof?"

"Yes, I won't be a true king anymore!"

Chen Shi took off his brocade robe, threw it aside, and said with a smile, "Everyone says that the emperor is good, but I don't think it's interesting. It's far less fun than living in Huangpo Village. Whoever wants to do this dangerous job can do it. I won't do it!"

Black Pot said excitedly: "Woof woof."

"Yes! Let's not do it anymore! I think it's boring for you as the dog king, and it's boring for me as the real king. Let's not do it anymore!"

Chen Shi counted on his fingers, "Only eight people can sit on the boat, you and your mother, my father, my mother, my grandfather and Xiaowu. My brother Li Tianqing must be brought along, and Yang Bi must also be on board. The Taoist tradition of Xiniu Island is relying on them. And Xiao Linyi must not die in Xiniu Island, and Granny Sha, Uncle Qingyang, Uncle Hu, Uncle Azhuo, Uncle Du..."

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became. He had already counted all ten fingers, but he still hadn't finished counting.

Chen Shi clenched his fists. The Queen Mother said that this ship could only take eight people to the Earthly Immortal Realm. The Queen Mother had said eight people, and it must be eight people, no more.

“Why can there only be eight people?”

Chen Shi was a little sad, and lowered his head and said, "I also want Xuanshan to get on board, as well as Granny Zhuang, Zhuge Jian, Yu Tiancheng, Hu Feifei, and Zhu Xiu..."

He tilted his head and drank silently.

Hei Guo clinked his glass with his, and the man and the dog raised their heads and drank the hot wine in one gulp.

"I can't let go of this, and I can't let go of that!"

Chen Shi was a little drunk, and he laughed, "It would be great if we could bring everyone from Xiniuzhou with us."

He lay on his back, resting his hands behind his head, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

The moon now is different from the past. The moonlight is bright, and there are eight layers of halo behind the head of the True God from the Sky. Under the light, the face of the True God from the Sky can be vaguely seen.

"I am unwilling to give up this and that. All I can do is to be annihilated. I am not a savior. Facing an invincible opponent, I can only run away."

He whispered, "Hei Guo, when you go back, bring your mother here with you."

Hei Guo's heart was slightly shaken and he nodded slightly.

The man and the dog were both drunk before they parted.

After sobering up, Chen Shi returned to normal and came to Dejiang Wharf alone. This was the estuary. Ever since Queen Hou Tu set up a ban along the coast, the coastline had been safe and monsters dared not invade. There were many fishermen fishing in the near sea, and there were also cargo ships engaged in near sea trade, which gradually formed a scale.

This is how people’s livelihood works. When the roads are open, people can make a living.

Chen Shi took out the paper boat given to him by Hou Tu Niangniang. The paper boat was made of folded gold foil and was very small.

He put the paper boat on the water, and it grew in the wind, soon turning into a golden boat about two meters long.

Chen Shi tied the golden boat to the dock and ordered people to invite Chen Yindu, Chen Tang and others. Not long after, Chen Tang, Chen Yindu, Xiaowu the Creator and others came to the dock. Wu Qingyu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here by the river instead of dealing with state affairs?"

Hei Guo and its mother Huo Dou also came. Huo Dou was extremely huge in size, but as soon as it entered Chen Shi's dojo, it turned into the size of an ordinary black dog.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Today is spring, a good day to enjoy the beautiful scenery. After the Queen closed the coastline, we are always in a hurry and it is rare to have a day to relax. Why not take this opportunity to go on a boat trip."

Chen Tang said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, please don't be a tyrant."

Wu Qingyu poked his waist with her finger, signaling him not to talk nonsense if he couldn't speak.

"You have been busy these days, you really need to take a good rest."

Wu Qingyu jumped onto the boat first and glanced back at Chen Tang, "Why don't you get on board yet?"

Chen Tang got on board.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Tianqing, you can also get on board."

Li Tianqing raised his hand and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "I'll wait a moment. Yang Aiqing, you stay with Tianqing."

Li Tianqing came to the boat and looked back. He saw Yang Bi looking at the golden boat but not coming up. He smiled and said, "Brother Yang, what are you still hesitating about?"

Yang Bi came to his senses, jumped onto the boat, and said, "This boat is made entirely of gold, but it doesn't sink in the water. It's very strange."

"It's most likely a magic weapon refined by a True King. It's just too luxurious." Li Tianqing guessed.

Yang Bi thought about it and realized that this was indeed possible. He thought to himself, "Since Chen Shi has become the True King, he will inevitably become arrogant and extravagant. Therefore, when I refine the golden ship, I must explain this to the Emperor Retired and ask him to advise me."

Li Tianqing asked: "Brother Yang, have you studied the Great Wilderness Enlightenment Collection of Immortals and Demons? I have encountered several difficulties."

Yang Bi was greatly encouraged and said, "I have also encountered some problems. Let's discuss this!"

Wu Qingyu tugged at Chen Tang, leaned over, and said with a smile, "We also encountered some difficulties when we were meditating. We would like to ask the two adults for advice."

Li Tianqing and Yang Bi said quickly: "We dare not."

The four of them were whispering to each other, their minds focused on nothing else, as they delved into the Great Wilderness Enlightenment Anthology.

Chen Shi said to Hei Guo, "Hei Guo, you and your mother should also get on board."

Black Pot hesitated for a moment, then looked back and saw Fairy Xiao Linden, Chen Yindu, Creator Xiao Wu, Sha Qiutong, Qingyang, Du Yiran, Tianhu and others beside the boat. It was a little confused. Wasn't there only room for eight people on the boat? What about the rest?
At Chen Shi's urging, Hei Guo and Huo Dou boarded the golden ship.

Chen Shi's eyes moved back and forth between Chen Yindu, Creator Xiaowu, Azhuo, Sha Qiuting and others, unable to make a decision.

Wu Qingyu's voice came: "Xiao Shi, why don't you come up? Xiao Lin, come up and help me figure out how to practice here."

Fairy Little Linden responded, boarded the golden boat, and came to Wu Qingyu.

Chen Shi raised his hand, wanting to stop her, but then retracted it.

Chen Yin looked at his retracted hand in surprise, and then looked at the golden ship.

Chen Shi seemed to have made up his mind. He suddenly smiled and said, "This boat can only hold eight people. If there is one more person, it will sink. Grandpa, you go on board first. I will take the next boat with Fifth Uncle Sha and the others."

Chen Yindu walked to the side of the boat and was about to board the golden ship, but he stopped, looked back at the people on the dock, opened his mouth, but could not utter a word.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "Xiao Wu, you get on board. Xiao Shi and I will be on the same boat."

Chen Shi's heart beat violently twice, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Grandpa..."

Chen Yindu seemed to have made up his mind as well. He smiled and said, "Let Xiaowu get on this boat. Xiaoshi, we haven't been together for a long time. It's a good opportunity for us to have a good chat while sitting on the same boat."

Chen Shi fell silent and nodded.

Creator Xiaowu lazily came to the golden boat and asked with a smile: "Dad, why me?"

Chen Yindu looked normal, but his eyes were a little dim: "I owe you."

Creator Xiaowu was slightly startled, and silently boarded the golden boat. He was like a restless child, fidgeting on the boat, and suddenly jumped off the boat with a whoosh, saying, "I'll take the next boat, too."

Chen Yindu glared at him and shouted in a low voice: "Go up!"

Creator Xiaowu laughed and said, "Dad, I am just your creation. If I am gone, you can always create another one..."

Chen Yindu clenched his fists, then slowly opened them and said, "Azhuo, get on board!"

Qiao Zhu responded and walked onto the golden boat.

At this time, Hei Guo jumped off the golden boat, shouted at the Huo Dou on the boat, and came to Chen Shi. Chen Shi shook his head slightly, but Hei Guo remained unmoved.

Chen Shi looked at Chen Yindu.

Chen Yin understood what he meant, and his eyes moved back and forth between Du Yiran, Sha Qiuting, Qingyang and Hu Xiaoliang.

Only then did he realize how difficult it was to choose which relatives and friends to survive.

"Qingyang..."

He forced a smile on his face and said, "You...you go on board. I'll take the next boat with them."

Qingyang was stunned and muttered: "A dog came down, and a sheep went up..."

Chen Yindu patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I owed you a life in the past, so don't be impulsive in the future and don't always fight for your life."

Qingyang jumped onto the boat and said with a smile: "I'm not impulsive. Next time I'll watch you get beaten to death."

Chen Shi's mind moved slightly, and the golden boat slowly sailed away from Dejiang Wharf.

Chen Shi and the others boarded another passenger ship, which slowly followed the golden ship and sailed along the Dejiang River towards the dark sea. On the sea, there were cargo ships with their sails hoisted. The boatmen lit wind charms, stirred up strong winds, and blew up the sails, sailing along the coastline towards other cities in the distance.

Chen Shi urged the golden boat to move, but saw that the boat gradually increased its speed and headed towards the dark sea.

On the golden ship, everyone was attracted by the voices of Yang and Li interpreting the Great Wilderness Enlightenment Collection. They forgot themselves and everything else, and when they came to their senses, the golden ship had already sailed into the dark sea!
The Huotou woke up first and hurriedly woke everyone up. Everyone on the boat looked hurriedly, only to see the shadow of another ship.
There was darkness and vastness all around. Not to mention the imperial capital of Xinxiang, even Xiniu Xinzhou was nowhere to be found.

"What's going on?" Chen Tang asked.

Li Tianqing immediately took out the Heavenly Court Order and frowned. He saw that after the Heavenly Court Order was raised, there was no lesser heaven behind the portal.

Yang Bi was very anxious and wanted to jump off the golden boat, but everyone hurried to stop him. Li Tianqing shook his head and said, "Now no one knows where Xiniu Island is. Brother Yang, don't panic!"

Yang Bi angrily said: "My wife and children are still in Tianyu County!"

Wu Qingyu murmured, "Why didn't Xiao Shi come with us? Atang, what did Xiao Shi mean by sending us to this ship? Where is this ship heading?"

The golden ship was sailing rapidly in the dark sea, getting faster and faster. Countless sea monsters flashed by like a flash of light.

Suddenly, Qingyang discovered something and shouted, "A ship! There is a ship in the sea!"

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw a wooden boat fighting the waves in the sea. There were people on the boat holding a pole, fighting hard with the giant sea monster.

However, the golden boat was moving too fast and it flew past the wooden boat with a whoosh.

When everyone looked back, they could no longer see the wooden boat.

"It seems to be Taoist Qingyuan."

Chen Tang was extremely surprised and murmured, "He is still alive."

Taoist Qingyuan also noticed the golden boat and was shocked.

In Tiandao City, Tianzun killed Feng Ruotong and others, and he took advantage of the chaos to escape, immediately driving a wooden boat into the sea and escaped.

He had many experiences of crossing the Dark Sea, and this time he was not tied to the mast and exiled, so he felt much more calm. However, he did not expect that there would be a ship that could catch up with him.

"There seem to be several people on the boat, with sheep and dogs." He was worried and suspected that he was seeing things.

The golden ship sped through the dark sea, and time passed by bit by bit. Unconsciously, the speed of the ship gradually slowed down. This ship was originally blessed by a ray of divine power from Hou Tu Niangniang. After a long journey, the divine power was greatly consumed and it was no longer as fast as before.

But the speed is still very fast. I think the remaining magical power of the golden ship is enough to reach the destination.

One day, two days, five days, ten days, one month, two months passed...

The golden ship was still moving, but its speed was much slower than before.

On this day, a huge shadow gradually appeared in their eyes on the dark sea.

The shadows got closer and closer, and finally an ancient ship appeared in their sight.

"It's the Ming treasure ship!" Qingyang said excitedly.

On the Ming treasure ship, corpses stood on the deck, with solemn expressions, neat armor, shining swords, guarding an emperor.

True king.

This Ming treasure ship, carrying the corpses of the True King and the civil and military officials of the True King's era, is still sailing on the dark sea, stubbornly heading towards its hometown.

This treasure ship has been sailing for nine years.

"We are heading in a different direction from this ship!" Chen Tang made a discovery and reminded everyone.

The Golden Ship and the Ming Treasure Ship intersected and passed each other.

"This treasure ship was driven to the ancestral land of China under the guidance of the True King's obsession."

Li Tianqing and Chen Shi had experienced the Ming treasure ship incident together and were quite familiar with the matter. He said, "They want to return to their roots."

Yang Bi suddenly asked: "Where is our ship heading?"

Li Tianqing shook his head.

Wu Qingyu suddenly said, "The ancestral land has been disconnected from Xiniu Xinzhou for more than 6,000 years. With the power of the ancestral land, it should be able to annihilate Tianzun, right?"

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes lit up, and suddenly they all flew into the air, abandoning the golden ship and landing on the Ming treasure ship.

The soldiers guarding the Ming treasure ship ignored their arrival and continued to watch their surroundings. Any sea monsters that tried to board the treasure ship would be killed by them.

“Once they return to their homeland, I’m afraid their obsession will disappear.” Chen Tang looked at them and said in a low voice.

Fairy Little Linden hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't go back to my ancestral land. I am a sinner..."

Wu Qingyu put her arm around her shoulders and consoled her, "The Great Zhou has been destroyed for who knows how many years. What criminals? They no longer exist. How long will it take for us to return to our ancestral land?"

Li Tianqing said: "Back then, it took the eunuch Sanbao seventeen years to find Xiniu Island, but after the route was opened, it only took eight or nine years."

"So, we are almost at the ancestral land?"

Everyone was very excited.

After returning to the Chinese Divine Continent, they can ask the gods or immortals of the Chinese Divine Continent to deal with Tianzun!
The Ming treasure ship sailed for another half a month when a ray of light suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead. Then the light grew brighter and brighter, and a magnificent world gradually came into their sight.

They were excited, they had finally arrived at the divine land of China.

On the coastline, a strong divine light shone towards this side, and a majestic voice shouted: "Who is coming?"

Chen Tang suppressed his excitement and said loudly: "Chen Tang, the special envoy of Xinzhou from Xiniu, has returned to his homeland by order of the True King to pay homage to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Supreme Daluo Celestial Immortal Chief, the Great Master of Five Thunders, the Emperor Wanshou of Xuandu Realm!"

"What Ming Dynasty?"

A great general stood on the opposite tower, looking over here with sharp eyes, "The Ming Dynasty has long been destroyed, and Emperor Wanshou is also dead! I want to teach you that it is the Dashun Dynasty now!"
