Towards Eternity
Ch 584's. Tiesha Town

Mainland is divided into four regions in outline.

The area controlled by the Yang, Ying, Wang, and Lin Great Clan Families. The Yang family controlled the area to the west of the Mainland, eastern Ying, northern Wang, and southern Lin.

Each region has different characteristics. The Yang Family Region was almost half an archipelago territory, while the Wang, Ying, and Lin Families had their own characteristics.

In the southern part of Mainland, the steamer Weng Lou sailed at high speed through waves that were not too high. They spent two days running away from the pursuit of the Yang Family and finally managed to escape after entering the southern region of the Mainland controlled by the Lin Family.

The Lin Family Region consisted of one vast land area which was the Mainland continent itself and several small sized islands that had many active volcanoes within. Occasionally the Weng Lou group ships pass through the sea area under which there is an underwater volcano. The froth from the boiling water made the entire crew could not stand being in the ship continuously and chose to rest on the deck of the ship.

They will take turns to refuel the ship after a few minutes while others will cool the body outside.

"Come on Du Zhe, you can do it. The hammer was not heavy at all, just one hundredth of the hammer I was using for training right now. Ten swings should be nothing to you, let's keep trying" said Weng Lou.

Weng Lou was swinging the two twin hammers in his two hands while Du Zhe beside him was trying to lift his gifting hammer and swing it around without having to drop it on the floor.

"HUUUHUUHHHHH!!!!! "

"DELAAAAAPPPAAANNNN!!!!"

"CAT!!!!!"

"Come on Du Zhe!!! You can do it!!!!" The crew who were resting outside cheered Du Zhe whose face had now turned as red as a tomato.

Both of his hands were grasping the hammer until it shook violently as he tried to lift the hammer to swing it once and for the last time.

"OOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! SEEEE!!!!!"

*bdum!* The hammer in his hand immediately fell to the floor and left a slight crack on the floor of the ship. Du Zhe's body fell backwards limply and his breathing seemed irregular, his entire body had now been drenched in sweat. His sight seemed blurred for a while before finally returning to normal.

He looked at Weng Lou who shook his head, "Ckckck. It's because you're doing less physical exercise. From this afternoon I'll be training your physique, not that monkey."

Du Zhe's breathing almost stopped when he heard that Weng Lou was going to train his physique. For over a week, it was the Black Ape Fighter who arranged his training, and it even adjusted him like a ferocious beast for Du Zhe to get the most out of. But Weng Lou still said it was less practice.

If the training he did with the Black Ape Fighter was nothing, then how hard would Weng Lou's physical training be? Du Zhe nearly fainted just from thinking about it.

Weng Lou chuckled at Du Zhe's reaction. He stopped his training when he reached a thousand swings. He kept both hammers back and went to the control room. Li, who was one of the crew members, was seen in control of the ship when Weng Lou entered the room.

"You can rest, I'll take control now. We're supposed to get to our next destination tonight. We will definitely pass the inspection carried out by the soldiers guarding this region," Weng Lou told Li, who was nodding by him.

Li quickly exited the room and walked towards the deck of the ship before taking shelter in a small cabin built by the crew to shelter from the sun. Without a second thought he undressed and lay down on the floor like the rest of the crew.

In the control room, Weng Lou sat quietly while staring at the blue sea. The daylight of the sun makes the clouds in the sky reflected in the sea like a mirror.

"Haaa..if you think about it, my trip out here turned out to be much longer than the time I spent since becoming a disciple of the Northern Heavens Sect. Many things that I did not experience on Black Sand Island I have experienced while out here," Weng Lou said with a small smile.

The steamer continued to sail for approximately three hours and the time was already afternoon. The sun in the west seems to be drowning in the ocean. A ship with a Phoenix bird flag was seen appearing in the distance and Weng Lou immediately walked out of the ship, after telling Li to take back control.

Their steamers finally passed each other by the ship. Weng Lou could see some of the soldiers on board and looked closely at Weng Lou and the rest of the crew.

One of the soldiers who was wearing full combat clothes and seemed to be the leader of the other soldiers on the ship jumped and landed on the ship Weng Lou group.

"Good afternoon, sorry to interrupt your voyage, but we have to do some checking before you can go any further. I hope you don't mind, and want to cooperate," the soldier said in a deep voice.

Although he sounded very polite, but in reality he did not look at Weng Lou and his crew who were on that deck at all.

"Who is the captain of this ship?" ask Weng Lou and the others.

Weng Lou immediately walked forward without lingering. The soldier stared at Weng Lou from top to bottom for a while, he seemed to be in disbelief with Weng Lou.

But before he could speak any further, Weng Lou had already taken out his Identity Tablet and passed it to the soldier. The soldier's eyes instantly widened and he looked at Weng Lou with a very different look. He immediately lowered his head while apologizing to Weng Lou.

"Please forgive my impoliteness, sir. I hope you don't keep it in your heart" said the soldier nervously.

Fortunately Weng Lou did not say anything and just told the soldier to do his job. The soldier nodded then called his two subordinates to get down to the ship and inspect the entire Weng Lou ship.

"Ah, I suggest you guys don't check the main cabin. If you still love your life," Weng Lou said with a gentle smile.

The warrior leader who had previously spoken to Weng Lou blinked. Weng Lou's words were just like that of a criminal who was threatening them, the soldiers of the Lin Family. But he took Weng Lou's words as a suggestion, considering the power Weng Lou had written on his Identity Tablet was a stage 3 Soul Unification realm that was even much stronger than the captain of a guard force like himself.

"Simple..please let us examine it for a moment." The soldier said to Weng Lou after gathering enough courage.

She was afraid that Weng Lou would get angry and she would have to endure it along with her crew.

"It's up to you. I'm just giving you advice. If you guys want to check, please."

The soldier looked doubtful, but he steadied his heart and slowly walked towards the large metal door that was in the middle of the deck of the ship. He looked at the other two soldiers and nodded together.

"On the count of three. One...two....three!!!"

*Cyyyiii!!!!!* Metal door open. There was only a dark room inside. The three soldiers could not see anything. Their leader pointed his right hand down, and a bright red fireball formed and slowly entered the dark room.

However, his third breath came to a halt instantly as he looked at the monster figure within the room and was staring at the three with his bloodthirsty red eyes.

"YAHHH!!!!" The three soldiers screamed in shock and immediately closed the metal door tightly while the crew of the Weng Lou laughed at them, including Du Zhe who was not far away.

With a feeling of fear, the previous soldier immediately returned the Lou Weng Identity Tablet and bailed away from it. They immediately allowed Weng Lou to pass, while the Lin Family ship they were aboard had already hurriedly sailed away.

"Bhaha!!! Did you see the soldier's face? Ahahaha!!!"

"When before they looked like they were underestimating us, but as soon as they saw the Black Ape Lord, their guts were instantly shrunk!"

"Already, you are the same as them when they first saw it, there were even faint so afraid of it," said Li who stopped everyone's laughter.

They put on embarrassed faces and hurriedly went back inside the ship while Du Zhe instead laughed at them.

The city of Tiesha, a magnificent city that stands right under the foot of a giant volcano that has an active status.

This city was one of the few Main Cities managed by the Lin Family in its territory located in the Mainland continent. This vast city was a major trading city owned by the Lin Family and was where goods from other islands came from.

In this city, there is a very large pier and is the largest dock that Weng Lou has seen so far. The transport ships and visitor ships were all docked in this huge pier neatly.

At one corner of the pier, the steamer group Weng Lou has been anchored and neatly parked by the workers at the dock.

They threw chains about as thick as an adult's body mounted on a hook on their ship.

Led by Weng Lou, the crew began to descend one by one from the ship. Weng Lou walked over to the man who was the leader of the workers at the dock and gave him a bag of gold coins containing no less than a hundred gold coins.

"Haha!! You are too kind, Young Master. Come on, I'll get you out of the dock. I didn't expect to meet such a generous person like you today, truly a blessing from Ancestor Lin!" said the fat man with a body as tall as Weng Lou who was one of the leaders of the workers who arranged the ship at the dock.

The man continued to invite Weng Lou to chat until they came out of the dock and parted ways. Fortunately the man was the type who was willing to open his mouth for the sake of a piece of gold coin.

It was thanks to Weng Lou knowing the situation in this Tiesha City. They had to head to the entrance gate of the city that was connected to the pier and conduct an inspection before they could enter the city.

Dozens of gate guard soldiers stood gallantly in bright red armor as they checked the identities of the people coming from the pier. It didn't take long for Weng Lou's group to get an examination turn.

To get into the city. One must have an Identity Tablet. But in their group, only Weng Lou himself had an Identity Tablet. This tablet is only owned by the original inhabitants of the Mainland, but that does not mean that everyone who lives within the Mainland has it.

For example, those from small islands scattered across the Mainland continent mostly do not have them, only their island leaders have them. Therefore, in each city on the Mainland continent will be provided an Identity Tablet manufacturing site.

With one condition that was quite easy, at the very least they had someone with an Identity Tablet who was with them.

***

Inside the guard post near the gate, Du Zhe dripped his blood into the metal tablet in front of him and the tablet let out a sound like boiling water for a few moments.

"This, the total price is a thousand gold coins, including the city entrance fee you should have paid before entering the city." A soldier handed the metal tablet to Du Zhe after writing down his identity.

Weng Lou nodded and gave the soldier a bag of gold coins. The soldier did not check anymore, he directly inserted him into the storage ring. He had seen Weng Lou's Identity Tablet and he wouldn't lie that Weng Lou was probably one of the ten strongest people in the city right now.

After finishing paying, Weng Lou and his group left the post. It took an hour to make an Identity Tablet for all of them and all of the money used belonged to Weng Lou.

The time of making the Identity Tablet in this city was much shorter than when Hei Shanhu made the Weng Lou Identity Tablet for him. This was because the Identity Tablet could only be made by the Four Great Clan Families in the Mainland. With his connection path, Shanhu himself went to make an Identity Tablet for Weng Lou.

"Teacher, what are we gonna do in this town?" du Zhe asked curiously. This was the first time he had entered a city as big as Tiesha City. This very new crowd to him had really made him unaccustomed to it at all.

"For the first time, we'll find lodging first. Then after that I will go buy some quality metal materials. I heard this Tiesha City is a city that produces quality metals in the Mainland. We have to upgrade the ship until an unknown time, so I think we will take a walk after all the important matters are done" explained Weng Lou as he held tightly to Du Zhe's hand.

This Tiesha Town was very crowded and sometimes they had to pass through the crowd of people in order to pass by. It would not be surprising if someone would get lost because of lack of caution when walking around in this city.

While Weng Lou and his group were looking for lodging. In a battle arena building, a handsome black-haired young man was seen fighting against four ferocious beasts with his bare hands.

The beasts attacked him brutally and tried to tear him apart. But the young man just put up the horses and pushed both of his palms into the air.

An extremely powerful vibration wave moved and passed through the bodies of those beasts. A second later, they all fell to the ground in terrible conditions. Blood came out of their eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.

The young man exhaled and cheers were heard from the audience seats around the battle field.

"""""'Luan!!! Luan!!! Luan!!! Luan!!!""""""

The name of the young man was cheered up to echo throughout the building of the fighting arena. The young man only smiled mockingly at the ferocious beasts that tried to fight him earlier then walked away towards the passageway on the side of the arena field barrier.

The hallway led him to a large room where it was seen that Martial Practitioners dressed similar to him were sitting waiting their turn to fight with the beasts.

"Hey, Luan! That was a really amazing match! You once again maintained the beat record of completing a match in one of your attacks!"

A man who was leaning on the stone pillar spoke to the young man who was walking towards him. He sat down beside the man and leaned against the stone pillar.

"Haaa..today it was so tiring, I did ten more fights and the prize awarded by the arena owner was only two-thirds of the agreement we had made, damn it!"

"Hahahaha, do not complain that, after all this work is the only one suitable for us newcomers who have power," said the man trying to comfort the young man next to him.

"Yes, I know, but if it keeps going like this, I don't know when I can do my plan."

"Your plans? You mean to leave Mainland and return to your home island you told me about?"

"Yes, right." The young man stared at the dark ceiling of the waiting room before then sighing in length. His anger began to disappear a little because of the story with the man beside him.

"Why do you want to go home so badly? Didn't you say you like challenges and adventures? There is nowhere more suitable than that than Mainland, my friend! Many have spent their time to get to the Mainland, so don't waste your chance!"

"Ck, you don't understand anything! The island I came from was an island that was no less advanced than the entire city that was on the Mainland! Many adventures are also what I have not done there, such as exploring Pulai Langit, Lake of Death, and more! Black Sand Island is an island that is no less interesting than all the islands in Mainland!"

The young man closed his eyes and recalled the faces of those he had not seen for a long time and began to miss.

"Ah shit, Lou, Mei, I wish I could see you soon. Going on an adventure alone is no fun at all."
