Song Wuji opened the treasure chest and found only a booklet, a four-masted ship the size of a fan, a compass, a map, and nothing else.

The booklet is called "The Water Records of China," a book that describes the various conditions of the rivers, lakes, and seas of China.

However, it can also include other hydrological information to improve the system.

The four-masted ship is a magical treasure called the "Mingzun's Golden Ship for Crossing the World." It can transform into a treasure ship that is 44 zhang long and 18 zhang wide, and contains a universe within.

The interior can accommodate 1,200 people for long-term living, and can be used to grow grains, fruits and vegetables, and raise poultry.

The compass is also a magical tool, called the "Big Dipper Direction," which ensures that a ship will never lose its way. It can also mark locations, and once a location is selected, it will always point to that place.

One image is the "Yu Huang Shan Hai Tu" (Map of Mountains and Seas of Yu the Great), a map recording Yu the Great's management of ancient waterways. It depicts figures such as Jiuying, Xiangliu, Wuzhiqi, and Kui Niu...

The largest of these lakes is the Yunmeng Great Lake, where Yu the Great released floodwaters. There are also several other outlets to the sea.

Song Wuji calculated for a moment: "This map is no longer needed, but it is closely related to the Yunmengze Secret Realm, and even to the Sun Wu regime in the Phoenix Terrace Secret Realm."

After putting these things away, Song Wuji walked into the Yinlong Palace.

There was only one inscription on the stele that read "[Han King's Treasure]".

"Hmm? He's also called the King of Han?"

Song Wuji didn't know much about Chen Youliang. He only remembered that Liu Bang was called the King of Han, but he didn't know that Chen Youliang was also called the King of Han. However, there were as many as 28 Kings of Han in history.

Song Wuji's restoration of the Han dynasty's territory had absolutely nothing to do with Chen Youliang's Chen Han regime.

However, these treasures are quite good.

"I need to clear out many secret realms before heading to the Heavenly Palace. There is a wealth secret realm in Hongzhou Prefecture, which is the headquarters of the Beggars' Sect. It has a ritual to welcome wealth and send away poverty, which can help people ascend to the position of the fifth-rank God of Wealth."

He immediately swept the treasure into the treasury connected to the coin.

"Although this Azure Dragon King ship is sunk, it is still quite remarkable. As the main body of the Yin Dragon Palace secret realm, it contains a treasure space and is no less valuable than the other magical golden ship. Let's salvage it and take it with us!"

Immediately, Song Wuji transformed into a Xuanming True Dragon, grabbing the entire Azure Dragon Treasure Ship with his four claws and lifting it up.

This Azure Dragon Treasure Ship, belonging to the element of wood in the Five Elements theory, has taken root in the water and has become integrated with Poyang in this secret realm, connecting with the earth's veins, thus becoming a wonder and a water palace.

However, if Song Wuji insisted on pulling it up, he could not resist.

Song Wuji obtained five true dragon scales and a pair of dragon horns from the Xuanming True Dragon.

It was anciently known as the Dragon Elephant Mighty.

With the addition of the Xuanming True Dragon as the Water Law Lord, all water law spirits obey its transformations.

A group of fish, shrimp, turtles, and tortoises were transformed into dragonfish, lobsters, dragon turtles, and dragon tortoises after Song Wuji breathed on them.

These primordial spirits mobilized the water elements to impact the silt and lift the boats, which, combined with Song Wuji's lifting and supporting force, created a powerful effect.

The earth's energy was disordered, the water veins were turbulent, and gurgling bubbles appeared on the surface of Poyang Lake.

Before long, the entire Azure Dragon King ship was lifted out of the water.

"call!"

"Go!" Song Wuji gave the order, and the water in the cabin immediately transformed into water snakes and pythons, swimming out and flowing back into Poyang Lake.

Song Wuji then brought the Azure Dragon Treasure Ship closer to the Shipyard dock.

All the officials and craftsmen of the shipyard were astonished to see the enormous Xuanming True Dragon that Song Wuji had transformed into, and they immediately bowed down in worship!
The people of these secret realms are unaware of the great calamity that will ensue, and they are unaware that they live only in a small, secret realm.

Upon seeing Song Wuji, they mistook him for the Dragon God of Poyang appearing in the world, and kowtowed, saying, "Greetings, Lord Shunji Dragon King!"

Song Wuji asked, "Where is the head of the Shipping Bureau?"

Then a minor official emerged from the crowd: "Your Majesty, I am the Commissioner of Ships."

Song Wuji nodded and immediately pointed at him, incorporating him into the list of human Daoists, instantly making him understand that he lived in a secret realm.

For a moment, he was filled with disappointment and astonishment: was this just a secret realm transformed from the fallen droplets of water in the long river of history?
Song Wuji said, "This ship was originally the Ming Cult's treasure ship, the Azure Dragon King Ship, which belonged to Chen Youliang. After Chen Youliang died, it sank to the bottom of Poyang Lake. Now that I have salvaged it, since your secret realm has control of the Ship Department, you should be able to repair it."

"Rest assured, now that I have re-established the human path, I will not let you perish like a dream bubble. You are allowed to be reborn in the real world. You only need to maintain your original duties: building and repairing ships."

"How long will it take to repair this large ship?"

After observing for a while, the ship commissioner said, "This ship is exactly the same as when it sank into the water, but it has an additional unusual feature. It is the Yin Dragon Palace Water Mansion. In addition, it has the appearance of a dragon, so it is a dragon ship. In essence, this dragon ship was made by capturing a dragon, dismantling its bones and capturing its soul, and consecrating it with spiritual energy. It can enter rivers and seas."

"If it needs to be repaired, teak should be used. However, we cannot repair these cannons and the like. We can only repair the wood. The banner cloth is a special kind of cloth that cannot be produced. We can also repair the watertight compartments. After applying oil and varnish, it will take about three months to complete the repairs."

"Flags?"

Song Wuji said, “I will ask the Weaver Girl to weave. You just need to fix it. I will send a batch of craftsmen to you. I will also provide you with all the boatmen, sailors, first mates, and captains who can steer large ships. I will include you all in the human realm so that you can all practice rituals and have the opportunity to become gods.”

The ship commissioner said, "This humble official will go and make arrangements immediately!"

"Also, is there a well-established and skilled navy here?"

"Although there were garrisons in Poyang, they had long since fallen into disrepair, and there were only some fishermen and canal workers, and no navy capable of actual combat."

"My duty as the head of this shipping company is to manage the grain transport."

"If the Lord needs food, I can arrange it."

"Food, as long as there is food, that's good!"

Now is not the time for Song Wuji to choose spirit fields and spirit grains. Ordinary grains can feed a large number of ordinary people. As for the experts of the ritual and various trades, they need to eat spirit rice. Then spirit rice should be set as a cultivation resource and exchanged with merit points. Ordinary grains are needed to maintain life, and the corresponding rations can be obtained for free.

Even a lowly Kitchen God can make ordinary meals nourishing and suitable for ordinary people in these human-centered secret realms.

"What is your name?" Song Wuji asked. "I intend to open a shipyard in Poyang, in the secret territory of the Maritime Trade Office. I can appoint you as the shipyard manager."

"I am Lin Zhifeng, a native of Lin Family Village."

Song Wuji was surprised to find people from Lin Family Village here. He immediately told them about the encounter with the Soul-Calling Secret Realm at Lin Family Village, and that only one person remained alive.

However, now that the resurrection ritual has been established, the cycle of human life continues endlessly. As long as enough demons are killed and enough vital energy is accumulated, they can all be resurrected!
