Longhuan Island, Outer Sea.
On the vast, boundless ocean, a colossal sea boat over a hundred zhang long sailed forth, breaking through the waves. It resembled a magnificent, mobile castle, drawing the attention of the many vessels around it.
Foreign trading ships of this size were a rare sight. Truly powerful merchant guilds tended to prefer Tianzhou Skyboats, which were much faster and more convenient for travel.

At the top of the sea boat, by a massive, ornately carved crystal observation window, a cold and detached voice spoke softly.
"Regardless of the past, with a Golden Core Master presiding over them now, the Ling Family's rise is inevitable."
Another voice, dignified and steady, replied with a faint hint of resignation.
