Chapter 1964: Chapter 188: Emergence! Divine Martial Military Officer Training Academy
...
The same time period.
Tianji Continent.
As an independent continent, Tianji Continent is not particularly large, but it is about the size of three Mozhao Countries, capable of accommodating thirty to forty prefectures.
It is bordered by the sea on all sides, and its overall shape resembles a "concave" character.
Geographically, it is located southeast of the [Marginal Wasteland] where Da Qian is, and southwest of the [Muzhen Continent] where Beizhou is. However, in reality, Tianji Continent is separated from them by an endless [Great Wilderness Ocean], making the actual distance quite far.
Moreover, due to the influence of ocean currents, it is also very difficult to travel from the [Marginal Wasteland] where Da Qian is located to the [Tianji Continent]. As a result, for many years, there has been a lack of communication between Da Qian and Tianji Continent, with no stable sea routes.
It was not until the Wang family developed ironclad ships that the sea route from Da Qian to Tianji Continent gradually opened up, and commercial exchanges slowly began.
At this moment.
Tianji Continent.
On an island near the coast.
As a direct descendant of the Wang family, Wang Shihao was wearing simple clothes, with a straw hat, a twig in his mouth, sitting leisurely on a rock by the sea, fishing.
The long years at sea had tanned his skin and made it slightly rough, making him look nothing like the heir of a prestigious family, but he didn’t mind at all.
Being able to roam the sea at will, with the sea breeze blowing and the calls of seabirds, he felt a complete sense of ease and relaxation, caring little for trivial matters.
Compared to being at the Wang family main residence, constrained by various rules, the sea was his true home, the dream he wanted to conquer.
This was the life he wanted, the life he desired.
Moreover, to be honest, life at sea was quite character-building. Having roamed the ocean for nearly a hundred years, his strength had already reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Human Realm, and in a few more years, he could start preparing to break through to the Purple Abode Realm.
His personal expectations weren’t high; to live freely at sea for hundreds of years, even if he remained an ordinary cultivator of the Divine Power Territory for this lifetime, he would consider his life well spent~
The island he was currently on, named [Ancestral Peace Island], had already been bought by them and now served as a base for the Wang family on Tianji Continent.
Not far from the rock where he was fishing, there was a deep-water port. At this moment, two ironclad warships were docked there, their massive forms resembling sea monsters, creating a spectacular sight from afar.
After the Wang family’s maritime fleet arrived at Tianji Continent, they docked at this deep-water port and then took small boats from the island to Tianji Continent.
Trade goods purchased from Tianji Continent were also first transported to this island. Even intelligence gathered was first consolidated here, before being taken back by returning ocean-going ships of the Wang family.
This place served as a transit station, a hub for the distribution of messages and goods.
After years of development, this once-desolate island now had a considerable population and had even developed a unique business model, showing signs of prosperity.
Although Wang Shihao was stationed here, over the years he had trained many family members and soldiers of the Wang Family, who could now take on responsibilities independently. There weren’t many major issues that required his personal attention. So, he enjoyed a leisurely life, fishing daily, feeling the sea breeze, sunbathing, and occasionally diving into the sea, living a laid-back life.
Suddenly.
A crew member, who came from a soldier of the Wang Family, leapt onto the rock with excitement, exclaiming, "Commander! Commander! Good news!"
"How many times have I told you, call me ’Captain’!" Wang Shihao glared at him displeasedly before casually asking, "Alright, what treasure have you come across this time?"
Tianji Continent was relatively prosperous during the Divine Martial Dynasty Era, and even now, occasionally, relics related to Artifact Refiners are still discovered. However, these relics are typically of low value, holding little interest for powerful individuals.
Some Artifact Refiners, however, enjoyed tinkering with these finds, occasionally stumbling upon some interesting novelties. If they could decipher the techniques within, they might strike it rich.
Wang Shihao assumed this kid had found another profitable curiosity and didn’t pay much attention.
To his surprise, the crew member grabbed Wang Shihao’s arm, so excited that he stuttered, "Com-no, Captain, I found the [Changxing Memorial Stele]!"
"What?!"
Wang Shihao was so startled that the twig in his mouth fell out.
The [Changxing Memorial Stele] was established during the Divine Martial Dynasty to commemorate soldiers who died in a certain battle. The stele itself wasn’t anything special, just a regular memorial.
But this memorial stele was located near the space entrance of the [Divine Martial Military Officer Training Academy]!
According to ancient maps provided by the new recruit training camp, the distance between them wouldn’t exceed ten miles in a straight line.
In other words, by finding this memorial stele and searching within a ten-mile radius around it, they would undoubtedly find the space entrance to the Divine Martial Military Management Training Academy!
He was stunned for a full two seconds before coming to his senses, grabbing the crew member’s arm again and gripping it tightly, "Where? How did you find it?"
The crew member winced from the grip but didn’t mind much, replying excitedly, "It was in a recently discovered small relic. Apart from some research value in the battle information recorded on the stele, nothing of much value was unearthed, so it didn’t attract much attention. Luckily, our people were keeping an eye on related information, which is how we didn’t miss it."
