Towards Eternity
Ch 535's. Woodworker Choi

Weng Lou felt he could not rely too much on the course of his plan based on sheer luck and time.

He needed to do something so that if the first plan, which was to wait for the arrival of someone from the Ryuan Empire failed, he still had a backup plan that could still be executed.

*Shuu....*

Weng Lou's figure quickly leaped over one tree after another within the forest filled with illusory mist.

*Tap." Both of Weng Lou's legs stopped, and then crouched down in front of a large figure that seemed to be sleeping soundly on top of a large rock.

A smile appeared on Weng Lou's face when he saw the figure, he immediately jumped up and landed on top of the huge figure.

!!!!!

*uum!* The big figure was jolted in shock because of Weng Lou's actions. He immediately woke up from his slumber and immediately rose to his feet while staring with a gaze full of anger at the figure of a little child who was sitting sweetly on his back.

An enormous killing napsu was unleashed and the sounds of beasts within a hundred meter radius of the figure immediately scattering and dashing away as fast as possible once it felt the killing intent.

"Hehehe. You deserve to be my mount!" weng Lou lightly exclaimed.

*Roooaarrrrrr!!!!!*

The huge figure roared furiously and stomped his body for Weng Lou to fall, but that did not happen at all. Weng Lou was still sitting with no problems at all on his back.

*Grrrrrrr!!!!*

"Wow, you're too excited! I know you miss me so much, but there's no need to be excited like that! Haha...."

The figure being occupied by Weng Lou was a cheetah with a body the size of an adult elephant. This cheetah was a ferocious beast with strength in the peak stage 7 Soul Cleansing realm and was one of the strongest beings present in the forest around the valley of the Red Devil College.

Hong Mugui managed to put him here for having provided enough food for him and the cheetah itself felt satisfied enough to be willing to happily stay here.

Two weeks ago, exactly a week after the conquest of Weng Lou, he had accidentally met Weng Lou who had just finished fighting against some Martial Practitioners in the Soul Cleansing realm from stage 5 to stage 8. At that time he was enjoying his dinner in the form of a large deer when then Weng Lou hit him and instead made him angry.

But he ended up being his mount once he received a punch by Weng Lou which instantly made him feel helpless.

"Hey, that look is unsightly. You'd better take me to Rengu City, you'll let go after that, " said Weng Lou who smiled meaningfully.

Hearing that, the cheetah was pensive for a moment, and without a second thought his figure darted through the forest. His speed was equal to the speed of the Black Ape Fighter even a little faster. His flexible and slender body was able to avoid the trees even though his body was very large.

This made Weng Lou choose to make this cheetah as his mount every time he intended to go out of the valley of the Red Devil College.

Weng Lou nodded several times as they managed to get out of the forest area in just a short period of not twenty minutes and enter the vast prairie area. The sight of several animals running around in the grass and the clear blue sky made anyone who saw it would feel amazed.

After passing through the grasslands for five minutes, they then entered the forest again, yet this was a different forest from before. It is an artificial forest that was created to become the habitat of some special animals. There was not a single beast inside, so the forest was very quiet, much different from most of the forest that Weng Lou had entered.

But Weng Lou had passed through this forest several times during these three weeks, and he already did not feel strange when he entered it.

In silence and stillness, the cheetah ran without reducing its speed. Weng Lou who was sitting on it looked like there was no problem at all, and he casually checked the map in his hand.

"If counting the time from me to appear to the Huwa Islands, then it should not be long before one month I am thrown here. Representative or whatever it is, at least it takes at least two months or more to get here if the travel time is calculated from this border island. But that if he was able to pass through the Dead Sea, there were so many dangers in this ocean according to the many records and information that Hong Mugui provided. If had the person sent here been able to arrive safely, at the very least he would have suffered some attacks from the sea savage beasts."

Weng Lou thought seriously and then checked the path often used by some desperate sailors to pass through the Dead Sea. He could not stop clicking his tongue upon seeing his myriad obstacles, and the time it took to arrive.

"Haaahh, although this path is indeed the right path, but this path takes too long. Two months above the sea, no food supply could last that long unless it was put in a storage ring. Even so, the obstacles that must be passed are also too many, I confidently believe that before arriving, the ships that pass this route must have sunk to the bottom of the sea." He scratched his non-itchy head and immediately put the map back in, then looked forward.

"A ship suitable for passing this route is a large warship or cruiser like the one Ye Lao often showed me first. But big ships take a long time to make. My only wish is on that person, if he can't either, then I can only wait for the uncertain person to arrive."

***

Rengu City, west of Gui Island.

The city which is at once a large port was built right on the sea by the experts of the wood or more often called the best carpenters of Gui Island.

This city is the city where the best ships are made with the most guaranteed quality in the Huwa Islands. There is no ship that cannot sail if it is made by the carpenters of this city. The greatness of the carpenters in this city was even recognized by the carpenters on the five other islands that are part of the Huwa Islands.

Among these famous carpenters, there was a very famous carpenter. Not famous for his greatness, but for his madness.

He was a twenty-five-year-old young man called Woodworker Choi. Every day, with his brain unknown to time, he always designed something impossible to be made even by the number one carpenter in the Huwa Islands. Starting from a giant catapult capable of firing something with a distance of hundreds of kilometers, a wooden carriage that does not need to be pulled by horses, and even a ship that does not require a sail to move.

It was a crazy idea that he took out of his head. Things like this never make him feel tired or bored, instead he is increasingly challenged every day to be able to create something even crazier.

Though impressed like a delusion, though, but not a single carpenter underestimated this Woodworker Choi because he was the son of the number one carpenter in the Huwa Islands who had successfully designed Rengu City and built it over the sea.

Although all his ideas sound crazy, but not a few things that he managed to make real and show people. An example is a giant pulley that can lift easily a large ship with only a few tens of people pulling it.

The carpenter agreed that this Woodworker Choi must have inherited his genius from his father, just in a different way.

Right now, inside a warehouse full of handyman tools, Choi is busy drawing a blueprint that looks like a ship with a very complicated model.

"Fyiuh, the deck is done. Now just think about how to make the ship can withstand when hit by a big wave. And also, I still can't think of anything capable of moving this thing without even using a screen."

Choi wiped his sweat and then took the water beside his desk and immediately gulped it down.

"Haaah.I should be out looking for fresh air, who knows maybe I can find more ideas by taking a walk," he said that he then walked out of the warehouse and closed the door and ordered a carpenter who was there to make sure that no one entered the warehouse which was his personal work space those.

Choi's residence is a large house right next to it there is a workshop that is used as the workplace of his father who is a carpenter. His father had more than ten carpenters working under him.

He walked out of the workshop and was immediately greeted by a man who was almost fifty years old but had a body that was still very healthy and filled with muscles in his body.

Choi immediately walked over to the man and spoke to him, "Dad, how are you?"

The father stared at his son for a while and then snorted, "What do you expect? You know very well my age is not long. With this disease I've been suffering from, at the longest I can only survive four to five years ago."

Hearing her father's reply, Choi could only smile wryly. Sometimes his father's words are so sharp and not in accordance with his age and condition.

"Then rest dad, let me take care of your work from now on" he said, with a sincere look in his eyes.

"Then let you make your useless stuff? Hmp, forget! I'd rather die working than let you do it!" choi's father's lips then walked past his son.

"That's not a useless thing, dad!" Choi looked slightly offended at the words of his father.

Although the items he had drawn in the blueprints were all strange items, they were all masterpieces he had painstakingly created!

"Then tell that to all my precious wood that you've wasted! This one month, you've spent a stock full of my wood! At least if you want to make your weird stuff, put your own money on a slacker!"

Choi's father exasperatedly kicked Choi's ass to the point that he had to dodge because the kick that his father had released had enough power to fly him three to five meters.

It may sound exaggerated, but this is the truth. Carpenters are trained people who have great physical strength. The longer they become carpenters, basically their strength also continues to grow until they even become a martial practitioner without practicing martial arts though.

Although his father was a carpenter, Choi was not actually a carpenter because he could not do heavy work like most carpenters. Therefore Choi only created his items in the form of blueprints, because he himself could not make them. The items he had made before, all used the help of the carpenters who worked for his father.

This is the main reason why his father was reluctant to give his job to his only son.

Which father would want to see a son, and his only son die because of the work he gave himself?

"Look at me, dad! Before you take that last breath, you'll see my best masterpiece and feel proud of me!" choi hurriedly ran away from the workshop as soon as he saw his father had picked up a large piece of wood ready to hit him.

"Basic son of a bitch! You better go find a partner, so I can at least hold a grandchild before I die!" curse Choi's father while throwing the wood in his hand at Choi who was running.

*bum!!*

The wood hit the fence hard, and Choi's figure managed to leave in time.

On the large bridge that connects Rengu City with the mainland, the figure of Weng Lou walks casually while enjoying the sea breeze that blows on him.

He had managed to arrive here in just over an hour past ten minutes, almost an hour earlier than he had expected. The cheetah that became his mount had long since left once it arrived in front of that bridge. He did not want to linger along with Weng Lou who might just tell him to take him somewhere else again.

Weng Lou who walked leisurely then passed by a young man who was seen sitting dreamily staring at the ocean.

Weng Lou's attention was immediately directed at him when he saw that this young man did not look like a carpenter at all because his body was not as big or muscular as the carpenters in general.

"Excuse me, do you live here?" Weng Lou's question soon solved the young man's daydream.

He turned his head and looked at Weng Lou from top to bottom. He was quite surprised when he saw a teenager walking alone around here.

After looking at it for a while, he nodded, "Yes, I live here. Did you come here for the first time?"

"Yes, this is my first time here. I need to be in someone's wooden workshop" replied Weng Lou as he watched.

"Oh, whose workshop do you want to go to? Do you intend to be a carpenter too? I'm telling you, they're all just muscle-wielding people with a narrow mind!" Choi spoke while subconsciously releasing his emotions.

Next to Weng Lou's eyebrows raised, he was quite interested in this young man in front of him. Although he was older than her, but this young man looked very childish.

"I want to go to Choi Woodworker's workshop, are you located? Can I take me to Woodworker Choi?"

The young man was shocked to hear Weng Lou's purpose and narrowed his eyes, looking at Weng Lou more thoroughly as he spoke, "I know where it is, but what is your purpose in coming to my workshop?"

He asked with a serious face. To him, Weng Lou looked like a typical teenage boy, yet no teenager would be drawn to his workshop unless this was a joke created by people who wanted to mock him.

"ah! So you're Woodworker Choi? It seems like destiny! I came here, to ask you to make me a ship. A ship capable of sailing through the Dead Sea!"

Weng Lou's words immediately made Choi speechless and stared in disbelief at Weng Lou.

"Are you crazy?"
