Chapter 732 Exploring the Truth and the Fact
Inside each speedboat were four body-casting warriors, vigorously cranking the handles, which in turn drove gears, which in turn drove the propellers. The speedboats raced across the sea like wild horses, often leaping into the air as they crashed through the waves before crashing back down. If it weren't for the fact that this was a human world, and Wei Yuan had imbued it with a magic spell that would prevent it from capsizing, many of the speedboats would have already capsized.

The monks on the speedboat held their hand cannons and heavy crossbows, staring at the entrance to the world. But there was no movement from the other side.

Wei Yuan flew to the border between the two sides and looked up. He saw that the area within his field of vision was also a sea. This sea had been washed over by human habitation, and he didn't know where it had gotten to.

With a thought, Wei Yuan conjured hundreds of pixelated Dao soldiers before him. As they fell into the water, hundreds of large fish immediately rose to the surface, carrying each Dao soldier. Some were on the surface, some underwater, and they rapidly rushed towards the other world.

Then Wei Yuan waved his hand, and dozens more water-elemental pixelated Dao soldiers appeared and fell into the sea. These Dao soldiers, upon entering the water, naturally used water-repelling techniques, moving swiftly through the water, no slower than naturally occurring sea fish.

These dozens of water-based soldiers dispersed and dived underwater towards the opposite side of the world.

Han Li and the others remained silent. They had been discussing how to send people to the other side to scout out their strength, and were prepared to sacrifice themselves. However, Han Li believed that they should send some lower-level cultivators, the implication being that even if some died, a few would escape.

Long Wushuang and Jun Weizhi felt that this was something they were the only ones capable of doing, and they should be at the forefront.

The three were about to start arguing when they saw Wei Yuan release hundreds of Dao soldiers.

After a moment of silence in the small group of three, Han Li spoke first: "The great cause is not yet accomplished, and we still need to work hard."

Long Wushuang said, "Cultivate the Daoist arts diligently!"

You do not know: "One should deeply study the great principles of heaven and earth!"

Wei Yuan ignored the three of them making vows; his divine sense was already distributed among each Dao soldier, and he charged forward at full speed, cutting through the waves. When entering the other world, he clearly saw a distinct arc appear on the sea surface, as if the sea on the other side was standing vertically in front of him. However, as he cut through the waves, he felt no abnormality whatsoever. He could only see the heavens and earth slowly rotating, while the sea surface he was on remained flat.

From the last few water-based soldiers in sight, Wei Yuan saw that the soldiers ahead were already climbing upwards, as if they were ascending a high mountain.

The wonders of nature and the marvels of the immortals' methods are evident here.

Upon entering the other side's territory, Wei Yuan discovered that the seawater had not penetrated very far, at most no more than a hundred miles. The other side's territory was desolate and bleak, filled with sharp, blade-like peaks, thousands of feet high, incredibly majestic.

The coastline was densely packed with mane warriors, noisily constructing something. Dozens of miles away, many mane warriors turned their heads and stared at the approaching Taoist soldiers, clearly possessing keen senses and exceptional vision.

Wei Yuan was about to take a closer look when suddenly everything went black, and he felt a sharp pain in his mind. Then, he immediately lost contact with the dozen or so Dao soldiers at the front.

Wei Yuan nearly withdrew all his divine sense in pain. And he didn't even know how the other party had made the move!
Wei Yuan acted decisively. His high spirituality, honed over many years in the mundane world, came into play at this moment. He instantly assigned hundreds of tasks to the Dao soldiers and then withdrew his divine sense.

The originally dull Dao soldiers seemed to instantly gain souls after Wei Yuan's divine sense withdrew. They suddenly scattered, some soaring into the sky, others diving into the sea. At this moment, they could finally see clearly a warrior who was obviously taller than the surrounding warriors, with dark red mane, constantly drawing his bow. When the giant bow was fully drawn, three long arrows would automatically appear. The arrows never missed, and the speed of the shot was extremely fast. The Dao soldiers could hardly see his movements as he drew the bow and released the arrows.

In the blink of an eye, only a small fraction of Wei Yuan's Dao soldiers remained. The remaining Dao soldiers suddenly took to the sky and rushed towards the coast at full speed. But the red-haired warrior, single-handedly, annihilated the dozens of Dao soldiers flying at high speed in less than three breaths.

But he always felt like he was missing something. When he looked closely, all he saw was a vast sea. Beneath the surface, three water soldiers, several miles apart, were swiftly returning to the human world.

Wei Yuan retrieved the three Dao Soldiers, and thus learned everything they had seen.

Wei Yuan was right there in the midst of the everyday life, analyzing all the images in real time. He concluded that the maned warriors were building ships. However, their shipbuilding skills seemed quite primitive; the hulls were all strangely shaped, resembling bathtubs. And to make matters worse, many of these bathtubs appeared to be carved from stone.

One of the water soldiers saw two mane-haired warriors lower a bathtub into the sea, where it sank immediately. The two warriors were frantic, scratching their heads, but there was nothing they could do.

Seeing this, Wei Yuan's spirits lifted, and he immediately ordered the rear to speed up the shipbuilding process. Soon, another large ship, twenty zhang long, was launched in the shipyard of the central city. This ship had twin propellers and sixteen propellers for propulsion.

Four hastily constructed cannons were mounted on the ship, and the hull was reinforced with armor. Although there was no gunpowder in the world of fire, there were substitutes. The cannonballs were filled with the power of water and fire, normally isolated, but the isolation was lifted when firing, causing the water and fire to collide and explode violently, with a power no less than that of gunpowder.

The cannonballs no longer exploded; instead, they were filled with sword energy. A single shot unleashed dozens of sword energies, severely injuring even a Dharma Image.

These cannonballs were all produced by dozens of sword cultivators in the Battle Saint Hall, working tirelessly day and night. A Dao Foundation Sword Cultivator could only load one cannonball a day at most before needing to meditate and rest. However, Xianlan nourished them with her own aura, greatly increasing their Dao power recovery speed, allowing each of them to load three cannonballs in two days.

Wei Yuan now has two medium-sized warships, each with four main guns and sixty rounds of ammunition.

Once the warships arrived, Wei Yuan waved his hand, and dozens more Five Elements Dao Soldiers were created, rushing into the opposite world. This time, the Five Elements Dao Soldiers' mission was to provoke.

The Five Elements Dao Soldiers flew over swaggeringly, then yelled at the coast as if they wanted to say something.

The dark red-maned warrior slowly lowered his giant bow and listened intently. Then, each of the Taoist soldiers emitted a beam of light, which converged in the air to form a pattern: a warrior whose entire mane had been shaved off, looking thin and extremely slender.

All the mane warriors erupted instantly, their roars deafening. Then, all sorts of canoes and sampans entered the sea, surging towards the human world in a mighty wave!

Wei Yuan was prepared. As soon as the canoes and sampans rushed into the bustling city, the speedboats scattered and fled. The speedboats were at least seven or eight times faster than the sampans, and the canoes simply couldn't catch up.

Then the seaweed began to spin deep underwater. Its body was now enormous, stretching out to be thousands of feet long. As it spun faster and faster, a terrifying whirlpool, nearly a hundred miles in diameter, gradually appeared on the surface of the sea.
