SPLASH...
Ripples spread across the calm surface of the sea.
Sturdy merchant ships, each about a hundred meters long and several zhang tall, churned the water as they sailed toward the horizon.
There were dozens of such vessels.
Surrounding each merchant ship were ten to twenty smaller boats, sailing in a protective cluster.
These were the patrol boats of the Yunjing Commerce Association.
Their main duties were to patrol the surrounding area, contact local natives and Cultivators, and transport all sorts of goods.
Hundreds of ships moved through the vast ocean, like sharp arrows shooting through the water, leaving white wakes in their trail.
Seen from above, it was a spectacular sight.
Further back.
A mass of clouds and mist.
Within the mist, a massive island moved forward at a speed that seemed slow but was deceptively fast.
"No wonder it's called the Yunjing Commerce Association."
