anwhile, at a location unknown to them, Amalia and Kenny Lin were on their way but had been temporarily delayed by an unexpected situation.
A group of humans running in hurry through a pitch-black corridor.
They are dressed in uniforms from the Erebos Star System.
To an untrained eye, they would appear to be soldiers from the Erebos Star Star’s army.
Amalia took one glance and imdiately sensed sothing was wrong.
No matter which star system they belonged to, real soldiers carried a certain aura of righteousness.
But these people had none.
Instead, Amalia felt a chilling, sinister presence emanating from them.
Kenny Lin noticed her pause and followed her gaze toward the departing figures. "Sothing strange about them?"
Amalia nodded. "They don’t seem like the soldiers from the Erebos Star Star."
"Then what do they seem like?" Kenny Lin asked.
"I’ve sensed this sa aura from mbers of the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth."
Kenny Lin’s eyes narrowed. "So they’re the cultists in disguise?"
"Most likely. Moving in secret while disguised as the soldiers from the Erebos Star System—they must have an ulterior motive. Want to follow them?"
Kenny Lin grinned. "Of course. I love uncovering hidden motives."
Without hesitation, the two of them changed course and trailing the impostors as they wound through various corridors and reached the rear of a massive structure.
Finally, the group halted.
"Is it inside?"
"There’s no mistake. According to the intel, it was detected nearby."
"Let’s hope we’re in the right place. If not, the leader will have our heads."
At that mont, the leader of the disguised soldiers turned to one of his subordinates. "You—push the door open."
"?" The chosen man hesitated.
"Just do it! If the leader finds out we disobeyed, we’ll all die."
The re ntion of the leader struck fear into the man’s heart.
Gritting his teeth, he reluctantly stepped forward.
They were all wary of potential traps.
The previous doors they had encountered looked exactly like this one, yet each had hidden deadly chanisms.
Originally, their team had 30 mbers, but those earlier doors had already claid several lives.
Hearing the words leader, Amalia and Kenny Lin were now completely certain—these n were indeed the Cultists from the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth in disguise.
The hesitant cultist pressed his hands against the heavy-looking door.
To everyone’s surprise, it budged easily.
Encouraged, he beca even more cautious.
When it was halfway open, the door suddenly swung wide on its own.
The cultists stood frozen, staring in stunned silence at what lay beyond.
Amalia and Kenny Lin, observing from a concealed vantage point, also saw it—and were equally shocked.
Inside was a ship.
But not just any ship—it was a wooden flying boat, the kind that was used on Mystic Void Continent.
Unlike modern spacecraft, these ships required no fuel; they operated purely on spiritual energy.
"This flying boat should have been left behind by Fairy Yi Xiulan."
As a powerful artificer, it was completely normal for her to leave behind a pile of artifacts.
Kenny Lin chuckled. "Of all things to leave behind, she just had to leave a flying boat. What do you think that ans?"
Amalia responded, "Probably exactly what you’re thinking. Since she could foresee that I would eventually co to Planet Neo-Shengis, then she must have also calculated that I would need a ans of transport to return to Mystic Void Continent."
There was no denying it—Fairy Yi Xiulan had planned things ticulously.
This flying boat was superior to any they had ever seen on Mystic Void Continent.
Not just in terms of appearance, but in the aura it emanated.
Different levels of artifacts possessed distinct auras.
For instance, even without picking up a divine artifact, one could discern subtle differences between it and an ordinary artifact.
The stronger a cultivator was, the easier it was to perceive these nuances.
The cultists of Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth, however, were dumbfounded.
"The thing the leader sent us to find... is this useless wooden ship?"
One of them looked slightly deranged.
A wooden ship? Could this thing even fly? If not, it was inferior to even a small spaceship.
He now seriously doubted whether they had found the right place.
Perhaps the object their leader truly sought was elsewhere.
"We’re dood. I swear, if we present this thing to the leader, he’ll slap us to death."
"Not just a possibility—it’s a 200% certainty."
Their leader suddenly approached the flying boat while running a hand over its surface.
A trace of amazent flickered in his eyes. "Do you really think an object placed inside an immortal’s building would be sothing ordinary?"
"Are you saying... this isn’t just a simple wooden ship?" one of his subordinates asked.
"It’s a wooden ship, yes, but it likely possesses other functions that we haven’t yet discovered. This ship has been here for a millennium, yet it hasn’t decayed in the slightest. If it were rely an ordinary wooden ship, would it have been deliberately placed here?"
"That does make so sense. But how do we even transport such a large ship? Should we call the leader?"
They tilted their heads back to look at it.
The flying boat was approximately six or seven ters tall and over thirty ters long.
Even with their cultivation skills, moving it was impossible.
"Leave a few people here to guard it. If any humans or aliens discover the ship, kill them." The fake soldier’s voice was cold and emotionless.
"But, Chief, what if this wooden ship isn’t what the leader is looking for? Won’t we be dead if we bring him the wrong thing?" soone asked worriedly.
"There is no ’what if.’ There’s an 80-90% chance this is it. Otherwise, how could sothing so large have fit through that tiny entrance?"
The others were convinced.
Just as they were about to divide tasks, Amalia and Kenny Lin arrived at the entrance.
"Who’s there?" The keen-eyed fake soldiers imdiately detected their presence.
