Beep beep~!

The whistle sounded as the Asakawa Clan's yacht departed from the port.

Not long after the Asakawa Clan's yacht set off, several ports near Su Hang Bay also had yachts departing one after another.

Above the vast East Sea.

Below is the endless sea surface, the seawater deep blue, above is the azure sky, clouds drifting.

Between the blue sea and sky.

A large flock of flight beasts flapped their enormous wings, cutting across the sky, occasionally sending out clear eagle cries.

Behind these flight beasts, several large yachts sailed on the blue ocean.

Their direction and target were the same—heading toward the area with the Void Rift.

At this moment, above that sea area, dozens of research vessels were stationed.

Scientists and military personnel were monitoring the changes of the Void Rift day and night.

"General Chas, the edge of that space rift is becoming more stable."

There was a hint of fatigue on Dr. Joseph's face, but his eyes were filled with excitement.

Other scientists in the laboratory were researching the collected samples of aquatic organisms and gases, while he had been mainly monitoring the space structure and magnetic field changes here over the past days.

Through continuous observation, they discovered that the space structure there was actually tending toward stability.

"Hmm."

General Chas nodded as well, able to see that the constant destruction and reformation at the rift's edge had slowed significantly, gradually becoming calm.

"General Chas, five kilometers ahead in the sky, an unidentified flying object is rapidly approaching."

During their conversation, Lieutenant Commander Leon, captain of the large surface patrol ship, quickly stepped over and saluted General Chas, saying.

"Unidentified flying object?"

General Chas's brows twitched slightly.

In recent days, countries stationed in this sea area have launched unmanned aircraft to monitor the rift's changes up close, but why would any country launch an unmanned aircraft five kilometers away?

Screech~! Screech~!

Just then, several sharp eagle cries echoed in the sky.

General Chas and the others looked up to see several large birds flapping their massive wings, flying over the sea.

There were also silhouettes of people riding on the backs of the birds.

"General, what are those?"

Lieutenant Commander Leon's expression changed slightly.

"Are those flight mounts ridden by Huaxia Ancient Martial Artists?"

General Chas's eyes narrowed, with a hint of surprise on his face as he exclaimed.

As a commander of the Pacific Fleet, he had a deep understanding of Huaxia's Ancient Martial Artists, but what were these Ancient Martial Artists doing here?

In the sky, they were the members of the Nangong Clan riding on this group of flight mounts.

On one of the Red Flame Eagle Vultures.

Elder Nangong Feng and Elder Nangong Chen sat cross-legged.

"Clan Leader, this time the Penglai Secret Realm has made quite an impact; it seems all the nations' ships have come here."

Elder Nangong Chen looked down at the dozens of large and small research vessels and frowned, saying.

"Yes, in today's Mortal Realm, technology is strong, and the Penglai Secret Realm's matter can't be hidden."

Nangong Feng nodded, his voice slightly heavy.

In the past millennium, the opening of the Penglai Secret Realm was known to very few; after all, during that time, Earth's technology and communication methods were far less prosperous than now.

"However, the matters of the Mortal Realm have nothing to do with us, especially these foreigners, so there's no need to pay attention to them. Once the Penglai Secret Realm opens, we'll just enter on our own."

Nangong Feng said.

At present, Nangong Feng looked forward, only to see a giant rift spanning low in the sky a thousand meters ahead, its edges a dark color.

Countless gases spilled out from the Void Rift, blowing over the broad blue sea surface.

On the sea surface, countless species of fish frolicked in the water, making this sea area exceptionally lively.

"Clan Leader, it seems the Penglai Secret Realm entrance still needs some time to stabilize."

Elder Nangong Chen looked at the unstable dark fragments of space at the rift's edge and said.

"Hmm, let's go down first. Once the Secret Realm entrance stabilizes, we'll enter."

Nangong Feng nodded and said.

Screech~! Screech~!

Clear eagle cries rang out as the Red Flame Eagle Vulture circled in mid-air before flying down toward an uninhabited barren island.

"General Chas, these Huaxia Ancient Martial Artists have gone to the barren island."

Leon, the lieutenant commander, said.

"Hmm, I saw that, but why would these Huaxia Ancient Martial Artists come here?"

General Chas frowned deeply.

As far as he knew, Huaxia's Ancient Martial Artists usually hid in deep mountains and forests, seldom interacting with those in the Mortal Realm. Why would they come all this way here?

"Are they here for the Void Rift?!"

General Chas's gaze narrowed, looking at the silhouettes who had already landed on a barren island, muttering.

Ten minutes later.

In General Chas's view, several majestic white birds flew toward them, with silhouettes riding on these White Feather Eagles.

The massive White Feather Eagles circled once in the air before descending upon a barren island on the sea.

"Another group of Huaxia Ancient Martial Artists."

General Chas's expression grew solemn; why would yet another group of Huaxia Ancient Martial Artists come?

Subsequently, over the next hour, several more groups of flight mounts arrived one after another, landing on nearby barren islands.

"What's going on here? Why have Huaxia's Ancient Martial Artists come, and why are they so interested in the rift space?"

General Chas frowned tightly, although he could sense from these people's calm demeanor that they were all very powerful.

Moreover, he knew that in Huaxia, forces capable of owning flight mounts were among those powerful hidden forces.

"General Chas, we detected five or six large yachts heading in this direction on the sea."

After half an hour, Lieutenant Commander Leon stepped forward to report.

"Yachts?"

General Chas frowned.

This is international waters. Although the sea area hasn't been fully sealed off, commercial ships from various countries know that dozens of nations are conducting research activities, so no commercial ships have passed through the nearby sea area. Why would so many yachts come now?

"Where are these yachts coming from?"

General Chas looked at Lieutenant Commander Leon, frowning and asking.

"General, these yachts originated from Huaxia, but, upon consulting Huaxia, the yacht contractors were from Japan's Asakawa Clan, Chizuru Clan, Aoki Clan—three powerful clans, along with members of a Japanese Ninja Clan. Moreover, General, one of the largest luxury yachts holds members from the Western Bordeaux Clan."

Lieutenant Commander Leon said.
