Chen Mobai oversees the Wandering Mountain relic in the East Barbarians, secured for the Five Elements Sect after the Sun Bathing Sea's destruction, as Da Kong True Monarch enters the Boundary Stone's Secret Realm to explore potential dangers from the Eastern Emperor Court era. With the site's Sixth Rank Spirit Vein affirmed as belonging to his sect, Chen Mobai converses with Shenxi and Ni Yuanzhong, who reveal ancient secrets of the Eastern Emperor Court, including the Ghost Mother Calamity's origins, the mysterious Empress possibly orchestrating it as an extraterrestrial demon, and speculations that the Human Emperor himself might have been the true mastermind aiming for realm unification and ascension as the Second Generation Heavenly Emperor. The discussion extends to the accidental rise of the Nine-Headed Great Saint, likely aided by Wanling Daojun's inheritance, which further weakened the court without direct accountability from the Heavenly Emperor.

While Chen Mobai was chatting with Shenxi and the rest about the rumors surrounding the Eastern Emperor Court, a sudden silver gleam flashed right in front of the stele.

Da Kong True Monarch, appearing somewhat bewildered, materialized before the trio.

"Senior, how did it go?"

Chen Mobai observed that Da Kong True Monarch bore no traces of combat or wounds, so he inquired.

"There's a massive beast inside..."

Da Kong True Monarch held nothing back and began describing the sights he encountered within the Boundary Stone.

The so-called Secret Realm turned out to be a workshop dedicated to crafting war treasures for the Eastern Emperor Court, and the items produced there were all quite recognizable to those gathered.

It was a Treasure Ship!

"I spotted numerous damaged and incomplete Treasure Ships, with the one in the center being Sixth Rank, incredibly huge, likely one of the famed Six Dragon Treasure Ships from the Emperor's armada.".

Upon hearing Da Kong True Monarch's words, Chen Mobai and the other three displayed expressions of utter shock.

The Emperor's Fleet served as a key pillar for the Eastern Emperor Court to dominate the world in its heyday, consisting of six Sixth Rank Treasure Ships, each bearing names from the Six Dragons in the Temporal Dragon-Sovereign Scripture.

It was no surprise that Fanhai Sect managed to stand against the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court in this region; they wielded such formidable might.

"Which Sixth Rank Treasure Ship is it? Is it still whole?"

Ni Yuanzhong couldn't resist asking. He nursed a profound grudge against the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court; if something existed to counter it, he might pilot it straight into the Mysterious Sea to unleash chaos.

"It radiates a yellow hue across its frame while subtly releasing golden radiance, probably the Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship, though it suffered the worst damage among all the Treasure Ships.".

Da Kong True Monarch's response left Chen Mobai and the trio visibly crestfallen.

A Sixth Rank Treasure Ship, this type of war treasure carried significance nearly identical to their sect's magic artifacts, yet unlike magic artifacts that were difficult to relocate, a Treasure Ship demanded propulsion to function.

Back in the era of the former Eastern Emperor Court, the Six Dragon Treasure Ships soared through skies and seas, subjugating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths with their overwhelming prowess.

Furthermore, while a Sixth Rank artifact required Divinity Transformation to activate, the Treasure Ships could be powered by sufficient numbers—even Nascent Soul cultivators could harness their might.

In terms of strategy, Treasure Ships offered greater intimidation than magic artifacts.

And this cast a lingering dread over the Eastern Earth Holy Land throughout the Human Emperor's rule; whenever the Six Dragon Treasure Ships loomed above the Holy Land, it signaled the Human Emperor's intent to hold it accountable.

"Senior, can you bring us in to see? Our sect's archives hold some Treasure Ship designs from the Eastern Emperor Court; perhaps we can find a repair method."

Shenxi proposed, as Ni Yuanzhong next to him nodded vigorously in agreement.

Following the collapse of the Eastern Emperor Court, the initial action taken by their two sects was to claim all reachable text jade slips and transfer them into their own treasuries.

Among them were the construction diagrams for the Sixth Rank Treasure Ship.

All clung to a faint hope of possibly restoring them someday.

"Of course."

As Da Kong True Monarch replied, he lifted the golden and silver dual rings in his grasp, drawing everyone there into the Boundary Stone.

Silver light danced, and Chen Mobai already caught the sound of lapping waves.

They found themselves on a pier, encircled by a vast lake stretching endlessly. Yet, as Divinity Transformation True Monarchs, they swiftly sensed limits through their divine awareness.

This miniature realm spanned about half the territory of the Eastern Barbarians.

Within the lofty dock lay scattered, rusted forging anvils and hammers, while a line of immense gantry cranes loomed motionless like slumbering colossal creatures; a gigantic Treasure Ship, fractured into three segments and unable to levitate, hung supported by them.

Chen Mobai and his companions deployed their divine senses, promptly surveying the entire space; it seemed abruptly forsaken in the past, with broken materials and tools strewn about haphazardly, and around the expansive dock lakes, various Treasure Ships in states of repair or incompletion dotted the scene, some even partially sunk.

"Here's a journal."

Shenxi, hovering over the lake, discovered a small book in the cabin of an upturned Treasure Ship. Its possessor had been a Nascent Soul cultivator, so the seals endured the ravages of time.

Chen Mobai lightly flicked his hand, sending down Primordial True Qi that effortlessly unraveled the seal.

Shenxi flipped open the journal before the trio. The script matched that on the stele; he scanned it and condensed the essence for them.

"Post-battle with the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, after incurring heavy casualties, the Eastern Emperor Court deserted this outpost. Xuan Guang Monarch commandeered the functional Treasure Ships, evacuating Fanhai Sect and the Court's cultivators from here toward the Eastern Barbarians."

"Yet, Xuan Guang Monarch refused to yield, so he stationed select Fanhai Sect disciples in this place, tasking them to watch the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court's actions while mending these Treasure Ships, readying for the Eastern Emperor Court's potential resurgence."

"The journal's author, Zhang Tai'an, served as the Nascent Soul Elder from Fanhai Sect overseeing this site. He noted that his Dao Heart had fractured amid the clash with the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, leaving him indifferent to his duties, allowing his underlings to grow lax. Still, certain dedicated souls persisted in efforts to fix the Sixth Rank Treasure Ship."

"The shift arrived a hundred years following Xuan Guang Monarch's exit, when tidings from the East revealed his fatal wounds had claimed him, shattering the morale of Fanhai Sect's disciples at Wandering Mountain and halting work on the Sixth Rank Treasure Ship. Many yearned to depart and head back East, but absent a directive from the Court, they remained bound to their stations."

"Three years subsequent to the report of Xuan Guang Monarch's demise, a major uprising erupted at this remote post. Two fellow Nascent Soul Elders rallied their supportive disciples to break free from this confinement, commandeering several restored Treasure Ships—one vanished into the Ruins, the other slipped away into the Mysterious Sea.
