Limited by the Materials in her hands and the urgency of the current situation, Su Bai's boat-shaped Magic Treasure wasn't too large, but certainly not small either.
It was ten zhang long and two and a half zhang wide.
Moreover, this Magic Treasure wasn't entirely up to standard, as she had only pursued speed.
Its defense was somewhat lacking.
However, as it was her first time creating a Magic Treasure, Su Bai was quite satisfied.
"This should be enough for now…"
As for the boat, Su Bai directly named it the ebony boat.
Putting away the ebony boat, she planned to test its speed outside.
Walking into the courtyard, Su Bai glanced at a stand in the corner.
A vine was entanglement around the stand.
Strangely, seven flowers of different colors had bloomed on the vine.
This vine was the seed Su Bai had obtained from the Treasure Distribution Rock a year ago.
"I just hope this vine doesn't end up producing seven gourds."
Shaking her head slightly, Su Bai's figure disappeared from the courtyard.
When Su Bai reappeared, she was already a thousand li away from Xingluo City.
She released the ebony boat from her Storage Pouch.
This Magic Treasure had been refined somewhat hastily; not only was it just a prototype, but its only function was speed.
Due to its various shortcomings, Su Bai had only simply refined it, without dripping blood to acknowledge it as her master, nor did she plan to keep it in her Dantian to nourish it with her Golden Core.
After all, the Luo Yan Xuan Ji Umbrella was at least both offensive and defensive, and nourishing it with a Golden Core could increase its defense and attack.
The ebony boat, apart from adding more Formations, wouldn't gain speed from Golden Core nourishment, and it would just waste Spiritual Qi.
A simple refinement was enough as long as she could control it.
She released the ebony boat.
Su Bai boarded the boat, stepping onto the deck of the ebony boat.
Refining such a Magic Treasure by herself in a year gave Su Bai a certain sense of accomplishment.
A typical Core Formation Cultivator would not find it as easy to refine a Magic Treasure as she did; it would take at least ten years.
"Rise!"
Under Su Bai's control, the Formation within the ebony boat activated.
The Gathering Spirit Array began to gather Spiritual Qi, and the massive boat body started to levitate.
Then it shot out instantly.
After the ebony boat flew out, it immediately created gusts of wind.
Su Bai stood at the bow, the wind blowing her hair loose.
As Su Bai moved, the Formations on the ebony boat began to improve, starting with the wind-blocking Formation.
After the wind-blocking Formation was added, the strong winds inside the ebony boat disappeared, as the Formation blocked the wind outside.
The ebony boat quickly flew towards the sea.
Su Bai watched the rapidly receding scenery around her, making deductions in her mind.
The boat's speed was about two-tenths faster than her own full-speed flight.
However, if she used Floating Cloud Shadowing Step! to transform into a Escape Light and leave, the ebony boat couldn't compare.
Overall, its speed should be faster than a Jiedan Middle Stage Cultivator.
Su Bai was already satisfied with this speed.
After all, it was her first work.
However, the ebony boat could go even faster.
Coming to the Gathering Spirit Array, Su Bai placed a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone inside.
The ebony boat's hull suddenly trembled, and its speed abruptly increased by several points.
At this moment, its speed had already surpassed Su Bai's speed when using Escape Light.
Clearly, the ebony boat's current speed already satisfied Su Bai greatly.
However, feeling the vibrating hull, it was clear that the speed the ebony boat was currently achieving could not be maintained for long.
Moreover, the Yin Corpse in the Outer Sea was at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
The ebony boat's fastest speed was equivalent to that of a Core Formation Late Stage, and after she used Heavenly Thunder Transformation, she would be even faster than that.
"For carrying people, it's barely enough, I suppose."
It wasn't that Su Bai didn't want the ebony boat to be faster; it was simply that her Realm wasn't high, and her strength was limited.
If this ebony boat had been refined by another third-rank Artifact Refiner, they would certainly be very excited.
After all, at the Jindan Stage, this was already a very good escape Magic Treasure.
"Unfortunately, this speed is already the ebony boat's limit; if it were any faster, the ebony boat would surely be unable to withstand it and would break apart."
Watching the clouds continuously receding outside the ebony boat.
After reaching the coast, Su Bai, piloting the ebony boat, did not choose to return to Xingluo City but continued flying.
It wasn't that Su Bai wanted to test how long the ebony boat could sustain this speed.
Ebony wood is tough and durable; even if the Gathering Spirit Array was activated with Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to fly at maximum speed, it could last for a long time. Otherwise, ebony would not be used by large Sects to create war Magical Artifacts.
This Material had been tested in major battles.
At this moment, Su Bai was piloting the ebony boat directly towards the Outer Sea.
She wanted to see with her own eyes what the situation was like in that Nascent Soul Secret Realm.
Su Bai wasn't trying to take risks; Han Xue's message to her was that her brother had discovered that the Secret Realm's Restriction still existed and could last for at least another hundred years.
The Nascent Soul Yin Corpse inside could not come out for now.
But this was only what she had heard from others.
Although Han Xue's brother was mysterious and had some small secrets, when he went to the Outer Sea Secret Realm, he was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Limited by his Realm, how much could he really discern?
So Su Bai decided to go and see for herself.
While she was at it, she would look for Xu Changge.
If it truly became impossible, she would take Xu Changge and leave.
If the Six Sects knew part of what was happening in the Outer Sea Secret Realm, and they still chose to send Core Formation Cultivators, they were sending people to their deaths.
Why didn't the Nascent Soul Old Ancestor go?
Was it that the Outer Sea Secret Realm hadn't reached its most dangerous point yet?
Of course, these were just Su Bai's guesses for now.
Her bold search for Xu Changge was only because she still had her biggest trump card.
The myriad realms cauldron's Transmigration function.
This was also Su Bai's greatest reliance, so Su Bai could take some risks in dangerous places.
With the ebony boat flying at full speed, and with only one person and not much to slow her down, Su Bai reached the Outer Sea in three days, a journey that would take a fleet a month.
But the Outer Sea was simply too vast.
Su Bai only knew the approximate location of the Nascent Soul Secret Realm.
Therefore, she realized halfway through her flight that she had deviated somewhat from her course.
Fortunately, she adjusted in time and didn't get completely lost at sea.
Once she reached the Outer Sea, Su Bai began to search for the Secret Realm's location.
She didn't immediately find the Secret Realm, but she found traces left by the previous fleet.
Occasionally, islands and reefs would appear on the sea surface.
On these islands and reefs, there were some traces left by Cultivators, such as extinguished campfires and fish remains.
These traces now served as Su Bai's guideposts, so Su Bai followed these remnants.
As she searched.
In addition to the traces left by the Cultivators, there were also some ship wrecks.
On the vast sea, apart from the occasional few Sea Yao Beasts, there were only broken pieces of wood washed ashore by the waves on the islands and reefs.
Most of these wrecks were severely damaged.
However, in Su Bai's eyes, they could actually be recycled and reused. So, adhering to the spirit of frugality, Su Bai collected some large pieces of wreckage into her Storage Pouch.
She would keep them to re-refine them later.
Whether for her own use or to sell to others, it was fine.
Moreover, these ship wrecks were all left by the ships of those Sects and merchant associations, and the Materials they used for shipbuilding were not cheap.
Su Bai reluctantly played the role of a scavenger in the Outer Sea for a while.
