Chapter 2033  Feng Shun's Arrival

Feng Shun looked down from the ship, gazing at the Morning Glory Clan below.

He could notice that things weren't the same as they were the last time he had been here. "They certainly look quite busy." Crown Princess Shang spoke seeing the scene below.

"They sure do…" The Crown Prince said before searching for the person they had come here for.

He guessed that Lin Mu would probably appear soon once he saw the ship. "Did you return his messages?" Crown Princess Shang asked.

"I'm doing it now." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied.

~Sigh~

"You're like… days late with it." Crown Princess Shang said with a sigh.

"Not my fault, we got stuck with that old man." Feng Shun replied. "He's a real stickler for rules… Didn't even let us have any contact outside." He added with a hint of frustration.

"You're the one who chose to go to him." Crown Princess Shang narrowed her eyes at Feng Shun.

"He's the only one who could modify this ship." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "If… we wanted to be on time anyways. If I used the formation masters and immortal tool refiners from the imperial court, they would have taken more than a month. They are good, but they already have too much work on their plate." He said in a helpless tone.

"I guess… At least we're here now." Crown Princess Shang replied before looking down as well.

And when she did, she noticed something peculiar.

"What's that?" She pointed to a particular place in the Morning Glory Clan that had clouds surrounding it.

"I don't know…" The Crown Prince found it rather strange too. The two immortals try to take a close look at it, but couldn't look past the clouds.

"What is that even… That's not something an immortal would be able to make." The Crown Prince's expression turned serious.

"Wait… aren't those clouds… the same as the Tournament?" Crown Princess Shang suddenly spoke.

Hearing that, the Crown Prince's eyes went wide. The two royals looked at each other and had a mutual understanding of what it might be now. ~gulp~

They both swallowed their saliva as a chill went down their spine. The events of the Finals were still fresh in their mind and they knew how dangerous it was. The Crown Prince had also understood just how strong Lin Mu's backing was from that.

Not only had he been saved, but even the Temple had not said anything with the interference of the external powers. The Emperor looked to be shaken as well, which showed that whoever it was, they were someone even the Immortal Court would have to take seriously.

With all these facts combined, the two knew they had to be careful here.

~SHUA~

But just as they were thinking about their next step, they saw the clouds below move.

"Something's happening!" Crown Princess Shang exclaimed.

The two watched as the clouds below moved and faded away, revealing the courtyard that was hidden inside it. ~WHOOSH~

And from that courtyard flew out a person.

"Brother Mu Lin!" Crown Prince Feng Shun called out seeing the person he was here for.

"Crown Prince Feng Shun, Crown Princess Shang," Lin Mu cupped his hands in greeting.

A couple of minutes ago he had been woken up by the Saintess. She had sensed the approach of the large ship hours ago, but had waited for it to get closer. She didn't know if Lin Mu was going to wake up on his own after all.

And when he didn't she finally decided to wake him up.

Lin Mu already knew that the only reason she would wake him up was if the Crown Prince was here, thus he simply spread his Immortal sense to confirm it. And sure enough, he was here… and with quite an entourage too.

~WHOOSH~

But he wasn't the only one who had sensed the arrival of the ship. Another man flew up from the Morning Glory clan and came to a stop next to Lin Mu. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ Novᴇ(l)ꜰɪre .ɴᴇt

"Ah! Brother in law Guang!" Crown Prince greeted the clan head of the Morning Glory Clan.

"Greetings Crown Prince," Guang San replied. "We've been waiting for your arrival for some time now." He added.

"Ah yes… We got held up." Crown Prince replied. "Also, it seems like congratulations are in order." The man said with a smile.

"I officially greet Duke Guang San of the Morning Glory Dukedom!" Crown Prince said out loud.

"Thank you, Crown Prince." Guang San replied.

Lin Mu heard it and was a bit surprised. "I thought you were uncontactable." Lin Mu responded.

"I was… yes. But as soon as I was not, I got a flood of messages." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "Father particularly sent me a long message, or rather… a report." He said with a wry smile.

It was not hard to guess that he had probably gotten a decent amount of scolding as well.

"Ah I see, so you are updated on all the matters." Lin Mu stated.

"I am indeed." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "As such, I also need to thank you for saving my niece and granting our empire this great opportunity." He said, while cupping his hands in gratitude.

Feng Shun knew just how big of an opportunity it was to have a Celestial take Meihua in as her disciple. And it was an even greater thing that she was willing to have an alliance between her domain and the Dao Wind Empire. This was something that was hard to come across.

Even for the powers in Immortal worlds that had given birth to Celestials, the communication between the two realms was limited. Only a few influential celestials could do something like this. Feng Shun had learned that the celestial that had taken Meihua in was called as the Ever Spring Mistress, but he had never heard of her before. But knowing just how easily she had arrived in the Immortal realm, proved to him that she had great influence in the Immortal court.

Having trained there himself, he knew just how big of a stickler for rules the Immortal court was. As such, having to skip the red tape and descending to the Rust Sky World within a day's notice was certainly something. "Who would've thought that my niece and sister would enter the Celestial realm before me, ahaha~" The Crown Prince couldn't help but laugh.

"Since you're here, I suppose you are going to leave now?" Guang San inquired.

"As much as I'd like to stay a while, it is time for us to leave." Crown Prince Feng Shun answered. "We're in somewhat of a tight schedule." He added.

"Very well, I won't hold you up," Guang San replied. "But please do visit the Morning Glory Clan in your free time." He added.

"Of course." The Crown Prince nodded.

With that, they bid farewell and Lin Mu got onto the large ship.

~SHUA~

The ship then rose higher into the sky, while the arrays on it glowed.

Lin Mu observed it all with interest, guessing that this ship might be the reason why it took the Crown Prince this much time.

~WHOOSH~

A minute later, the ship was above the clouds before it started to move to the west.

"There we go," The Crown Prince said, letting go of the wheel.

The wheel was the control center for the entire ship and allowed one to control its movement. It could even move on its own, once a course had been set, making it very convenient.

"I'm guessing you recruited quite a lot of people?" Lin Mu asked, having already scanned the entire ship.

He could tell that there were over a hundred people on the ship, but not who they were. The internal areas were protected by various arrays, and as such, Lin Mu couldn't look at it in detail.

"Yes, I got as many people as I could." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded. "Daoist Chu and Monk Hushu and others are below the deck as well, managing some matters." He added.

"I see," Lin Mu replied before looking in the direction that the ship was flying in. "So where are we going exactly? He asked the question that had been bugging him for a while.

After all, he still didn't know what their location for the expedition was.

"We're going to the ocean." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "Our rendezvous point with the others is there." He added.

"How many more people are joining us exactly?" Lin Mu furrowed his brows. "And where's the location for the expedition?" He asked.

"Well… there are two more groups." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "Once we meet up with the others, we'll be going further east into the ocean. As for the exact location, I do not know about it. What I do know is that it's an uncharted island." He revealed.

Hearing that, Lin Mu was a bit surprised. After all, going into the ocean was not a simple task.
