He achieved the pinnacle of martial arts starting with breaking through the limits of Tiger Fist.

Amidst the large shards of wood scattered on the water were some mangled corpses, which many fish were pecking at.

Jiang Lin frowned. Judging from the amount of timber in front of him, the Han River Gang's boat was definitely not small, and some of the planks were broken too much.

"It's a baton, and maybe even a stone."

Chao Hai made his conclusion in a voice. He had traveled all over the country for many years and had a wealth of experience. In addition, he had lived on the banks of the Lanjiang River for many years and was naturally familiar with boats.

"Could it be a warship?"

Su Yue continued the conversation, saying that in her opinion only naval warships could possess such power.

Chao Haisheng thought for a moment and said, "It could also be a treasure ship. With such power, it must be a treasure of the Yellow rank or higher."

Jiang Lin knew about the treasures; the Dragon family's treasure ship he had seen before was a Yellow-rank treasure. Of course, the Dragon family must have even larger treasure ships, but Jiang Lin had never seen them before.

"It seems that quite a few forces have come from this great swamp."

Jiang Lin took the initiative to delve deeper into the topic, wanting to hear the others continue so he could take the opportunity to learn more about the inside story.

To be honest, his experiences over the past few days have left him somewhat bewildered. There are countless masters at all levels, while he himself is just a novice who has just stepped into the world of martial arts.

If it weren't for the panel that allowed him to stay true to himself, his martial arts heart would probably have shattered after witnessing the vast difference in power he had experienced in the past few days.

In just a few days, the world has only been partially revealed, yet it is already so dazzling. How could he, a newcomer who has never left Changning County, not feel longing for it?

"The words of the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets have long been known throughout the world, even to a wandering swordsman like myself. Only those sects and aristocratic families keep them to themselves, thinking that everyone in the world is a fool."

Chao Haisheng spoke in a wild and unrestrained manner, leaving Li Changfeng and the other two in an awkward silence.

Jiang Lin became even more puzzled. "Who is this Heavenly Mystery Elder, and what is this news? I am really curious."

Chao Haisheng laughed heartily, "See, did I say anything wrong? I invited you to come along, but I didn't tell you anything."

Li Changfeng felt ashamed, but Jiang Lin said to him magnanimously, "Senior brother, there's no need to blame yourself. I did receive payment."

Chao Haisheng ignored all that and said loudly, "Brother Jiang should have heard of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. This Tianji Weng is the Supreme Elder of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. As for the news..."

Chao Haisheng smiled dismissively, "It's just that the dragon energy in this world is divided into three parts, and one part of it has come to Yunmeng Marsh, which is why countless forces are vying to come here."

Even though Jiang Lin had lived two lives, he still found it unbelievable to hear such news, because the theory of dragon energy was simply too vague and ethereal.

Is this kind of information something I should be exposed to at my level?

Jiang Lin also began to feel a little insecure.

"So what do we do now? Keep going, or find an island to land on?"

Chao Haisheng glanced at the broken logs on the water and said, "Naturally, we should continue forward."

"Alright, I'll follow Brother Haisheng's arrangements."

Jiang Lin rowed the boat, slowly skirting the wreckage on the water's surface, and continued deeper into the marshland.

Seeing that Jiang Lin obeyed Chao Haisheng's words, the three members of the "Taihua Sect" remained silent, especially Bai Jinchen, who was now much more obedient due to Chao Haisheng's suppression.

They had traveled less than fifty miles when a large number of broken logs floated on the water, which they simply bypassed.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, a huge commotion came from the mist in the distance.

The water mist blocked the view, so the others couldn't see what was going on, but Jiang Lin could see it clearly in the "Water Path Map".

Four or five miles ahead, a huge treasure ship was rapidly navigating through the raging waves. The ship was over fifty feet long and was truly a behemoth.

A small boat escaped before the large ship. Although it was called a small boat, it was actually more than ten zhang long, far exceeding the length of Jiang Lin's "Yuanpu Ship".

Logically speaking, a small boat should be more agile and faster, but that's not the case. The current situation is that no matter how hard the small boat tries, it can't shake off the pursuit of the large boat.

The large ship chased after the small boat to a certain distance, and several stones were launched from the ship. Two of them hit the small boat directly, causing it to lose control and slow down.

The large ship took the opportunity to approach, and the huge battering pole slammed down, sending broken pieces of wood flying everywhere.

The loud noise carried far and wide, startling the fish and aquatic beasts, who fled in panic.

Just as Jiang Lin was undecided, a soft shout came from behind him.

"No need to worry, keep going."

Chao Haisheng's voice is mellow, clear, and resonant, inspiring trust in those around him without him even realizing it.

The four or five li waterway would only take a short while to reach the destination. The fighting ahead had ceased, and the large treasure ship was cleaning up the battlefield.

Jiang Lin and his group's sudden approach immediately alerted the ship's crew.

"It is the leader of the Mountain and Sea Alliance on the ship. I am Lanjiang Chaohaisheng."

The dantian gathers qi from the tidal wave, and when it opens, the sound shakes the surrounding area, the sound waves travel for miles.

This was the first time Jiang Lin had heard Chao Haisheng introduce himself by name, and that he had added the name Lanjiang before his name.

The list of prodigies states that Chao Haisheng observed the great tide of the Lanjiang River and created his own martial arts technique. Therefore, he took the river as his teacher and mentioned the name Lanjiang, which did not surprise anyone.

After a moment of silence, a rough voice came from the ship.

"So it's Brother Haisheng. I am Lei Hengchuan. Please come aboard and let's chat."

Good heavens, another one. Ranked sixty-third on the Prodigy List, Lei Hengchuan of the Mountain and Sea Alliance.

Jiang Lin sighed. In the past few days, all sorts of people had appeared, making him look rather insignificant. If he hadn't been tied up with other things, he would have had the urge to turn back to Changning County and spend several years in arduous cultivation.

As the distance closed, Jiang Lin was still wondering how to get on the ship when he saw Chao Haisheng leap over with unparalleled grace. He barely touched the deck below Jiang Lin before rushing up and carrying Jiang Lin onto the large ship.

"Thank you, Brother Haisheng."

Jiang Lin clasped his hands in thanks, deeply regretting his low cultivation level. If it weren't for Chao Haisheng's help, he would have been helpless.

This friend is worth making, unlike those few from the "Taihua Sect" who only cared about getting on their own.

Actually, Jiang Lin misunderstood this. Li Changfeng didn't have the ability, and Su Yue was a woman. Bai Jinchen was even less capable. Of course, even if he were capable, he wouldn't make a move. It would be good enough if he didn't throw Jiang Lin into the water, let alone anything else.

After boarding the ship, everyone met the person in question.

This man, ranked sixty-third on the list of prodigies, had a dark complexion, prominent brow bones, and a short beard about half an inch long on his chin. His slanted eyebrows and fierce eyes made him look like someone not to be trifled with.

"Brother Lei, why did you bring the Zhencang Boat here?"

Chao Haisheng asked directly as soon as he came up.

As soon as the name was mentioned, Jiang Lin recognized it. It was a Xuan-level treasure mentioned in the book, and unlike others, it was a sea vessel.

This is why Chao Haisheng was surprised, so he asked a question right away.

"My father gave me orders half a month ago to lead a boat into Yunmeng Marsh. I traveled up the Min River, then into the Xiang River, traversing most of the Xiaoxiang Road, and only arrived in Yunmeng yesterday."

Good heavens, this one is making an even bigger splash. It came directly from the sea and is going to cross the war zone. You know, the south is currently engulfed in fierce fighting.

The south has a dense network of rivers, so naval warfare was common, and the arduous journey by boat was evident.

This person's ability to sail all the way here is truly remarkable; the Mountain and Sea Alliance is indeed impressive.
