Chapter 251: Setting Off

Lex wanted to make sure that Zeek never allowed anyone to risk the safety of the people or get in the way of his duties, and wanted to make that clear.

"That includes that old lady. You can love or care for her, but your responsibilities must come first as an innumerable amount of lives are resting on your shoulders,"

Zeek nodded his head and took on board Lex's advice, while he was also eager and ready to begin implementing changes and creating a great place to live.

He finally had the chance to change his life and that of many others who struggled in similar ways to him, so was eager to begin, but was also eager to begin strengthening himself in order to spread his wings and influence in the Lower Plains.

The more territory he had, the more people he could protect and provide with better lives, while growing stronger was the natural thing for all cultivators to aim to do.

"Further out in the Lower Plains, there are many lands similar to this in size, and you should reach out to them and mention that you are allied with me and aid them in prospering. Also, do not make any enemies as conflict is not what you are looking for. You want a build a safe haven, and not an army,"

"One last thing. If you disappoint me, I will appear behind you just like how I took you to that old lady. And I will kill you in ways that you can't even imagine," 

As he said that, Lex released his Dominant Eye's power and killing intent as he glared at Zeek, who stumbled back and felt as though his body was frozen.

Lex laughed and retracted his killing intent and dominance, but truly meant what he said and wanted to leave it as a warning to Zeek, just in case the life and death contract wasn't enough.

"Let's go, Ella and Angela. It's time to finally get off this island and visit a real continent,"

They made their way to the northern edge of the island and then Lex took out the ship that he had placed within his inventory.

The ship was made out of crystal crusted metal and had a series of enhancement and protection arrays, along with speed boosting arrays.

As long as it had a supply enough supply of energy, it should be enough to take them to the next continent

And yet the ship was still known for barely being enough to reach the next continent and would require a large crew of experienced and capable travellers, who were also powerful enough to fight off and ward away sea beasts that came their way on the journey.

If it were known that Lex was planning on travelling on such a ship with only three people, they would think he was insane and seeing death.

From what Lex had found out on the island, the next continent was hundreds of times the size of the island and the strongest cultivators on that continent were cultivators that had been Ascendant Body Forming.

It was a cultivating level between the Mortal King and Ascendant Cultivation Level.

Without completing Ascendant Body Forming successfully, one wouldn't be able to become an Ascendant Cultivator and it was a very long, difficult and arduous process.

But the benefits and increase in power that one received while completing it were unimaginable and they would be able to form a body that could unnaturally fly.

One's affinity with the energy around them and control over it would become so high that they could soar through the air with ease.

Lex was sure that if it was known that Ascendant Body Forming was the highest cultivation level on the continent, that it was likely for there to be hidden Ascendant Cultivators there.

He couldn't help but become excited to face such powerful and varying individuals, while the size of the continent itself and all the opportunities and adventures he was going to have were also exciting him.

Angela and Ella were amazed by how Lex was able to store and withdraw such a large and heavy ship in an unknown space, but they had become used to Lex using his inventory and no longer questioned it.

As it appeared onto the water, it caused a large wave to be flung towards them, but Lex controlled the water and with a wave of his hand, change the direction that it was heading in.

They jumped on board the ship and all went to the lower level of the ship.

There they found a small food storage, a resting lounge and the energy chamber of the ship.

Following Lex into the energy chamber, they watched him take out thousands of beasts cores of varying ranks and it was more than enough energy to take them to the continent and back, but he wanted to be on the safe side.

He also wanted to complete the journey at the fastest pace possible, so was planning on using the speed boosting array's power to its fullest the entire time.

"Well, there are 24 hours in a day and 3 of us. We should switch shifts of controlling the ship and standing on guard. 8 hours to each of us each day and when facing a beast or something that you cannot handle alone, then call for the others," decided Lex.

"But we are ladies that shouldn't have to do such things," said Angela in a joking manner.

"Ha, I will take the first shift. Cultivate while you can and also if you need food, here is some beast meat," replied Lex.

A large amount of beast meat appeared out of thin air in the kitchen area within the cooling array so that it stayed fresh, and they could all cook and eat as much of it as they pleased during times that they weren't training.

With that, they set off and began their journey towards the next continent, all excited and ready to truly begin their adventure.
