The road is vague

Chapter 397 The Solar Ship

Even with a solar boat, one cannot cross the forbidden sea at any time.

This is a dark, unknown, lifeless, and boundless sea, filled with unspeakable dangers, where all sorts of strange, incomprehensible, and unpredictable events may occur at any time.

Riding in a sun boat and avoiding darkness is simply the most basic rule here.

Even with the most thorough preparations, crossing the Forbidden Sea could lead to utter destruction at any moment. Historically, there have been numerous instances of large-scale solar fleets being inexplicably wiped out.

Li Mo's figure flashed across the sea surface and disappeared in an instant, continuing to fly towards deeper waters.

Unlike the outer sea of ​​the Chien Chen Islands, which becomes increasingly deep and unfamiliar the further out you go, and is filled with a brutal and unsettling atmosphere, the sea here is nothing but a chilling, deathly silence.

Little Squeak popped out from Li Mo's sleeve and climbed onto his shoulder.

The illusory image of the old man kept gazing around, taking in everything with astonishment.

"Young man, this is not a place to joke around."

"Oh?"

Li Mo looked puzzled and turned to look at the dazed old man.

He clearly knew something.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the original place of calamity in the Misty Realm, the place where those two returned after ascending. Almost instantly, the world order, which was originally full of vitality, miracles and hope, became full of madness, despair, horror, and hysteria, and finally gradually turned into a hidden and dead silence."

Li Mo's expression changed, and he stared blankly at the old man.

"You mean...this place was once briefly connected to the immortal realm?"

"kindness."

Li Mo was deeply shocked, and all around him was silent.

However, to be precise, this is only close to the Forbidden Sea; we haven't truly arrived yet.

Muran.

A glimmer of light appeared ahead.

Li Mo snapped out of his daze, regained control of his emotions, and sped up a bit more.

Only when he quickly approached and looked at the six people on the deck, all of whom were skilled craftsmen with the Golden Core cultivation level, and the Golden Turtle Master was among them, did he finally breathe a sigh of relief and land on Tian Yongchuan's deck.

The warm glow of the solar boat filled him with joy.

There wasn't a single blind spot on the entire ship, and every part of it exuded a warm and reassuring atmosphere.

The Venerable Golden Turtle came forward to greet him.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you've finally arrived!"

"Fellow Daoist Golden Turtle".

After bowing to the others again, Li Mo asked in surprise, "Where is the Faceless Immortal? Hasn't he arrived yet?"

"There is still one day until the agreed time. You should have your own plans. Fellow Daoist Mu is a true master of divination. He has calculated repeatedly that the Forbidden Sea will be suitable for sailing only tomorrow. There is no need to rush."

The Fellow Daoist Mu mentioned by the Golden Turtle Master was a female cultivator on the ship who was born blind.

Li Mo noticed her back when they were in the shipbuilding secret room.

"kindness."

The seven then had a brief exchange on the deck, each expressing their boundless longing for Middle-earth, their excitement palpable.

During the exchange, Li Mo gained a preliminary understanding of these six people.

There's no need to elaborate on the Golden Turtle Master, a master of formations, and Mu Qianying, a master of divination.

The remaining four are the Liao brothers, shipwrights; Zhao Ping'an, a master craftsman; and Pang Yi, a spirit medium. Each of them has their own desperate past and longs to escape the suffering land of the Lost Continent. At this moment, they are all full of anticipation and radiant with joy.

"what?"

During the conversation, Mu Qianying, who was skilled in divination, suddenly let out a soft exclamation.

She looked at Li Mo in surprise.

Li Mo looked puzzled and paused for a moment before suddenly realizing that he had been divined by that thing again, and a gloomy look appeared on his face.

Thinking of the fortune teller's reaction, she quickly asked him for advice.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, I am being hunted by someone skilled in divination. Do you know how to deal with this?"

Mu Qianying opened her rolled-back eyes, which instantly gave her originally pure and beautiful face a creepy look, greatly ruining its beauty.

"There are many ways to interfere with divination, but the essence lies in the calculation of popularity, which may be able to help you."

The female cultivator took out a string of knife-shaped coins and a flag that read "Good Fortune Brings Good Luck."

“These knife-shaped coins were carefully selected by me and contain a lot of personal charm. This magic item is something I use every day and it may be helpful to you.”

These are all ordinary little things, which are worthless from the perspective of a cultivator.

In the eyes of the diviner, the world is a completely different place, with values ​​that are entirely different from those of ordinary cultivators.

After repeatedly observing the two items with his True Spirit Eye and confirming that there was nothing unusual about them, Li Mo carried them with him.

By this time, everyone else had already dispersed.

The Golden Turtle Master took the initiative to extend an invitation to Li Mo.

"Fellow Daoist Li, how about we have a few drinks together?"

Li Mo smiled gently.

"Alright!"

Besides the Golden Turtle Master, Pang Yi, who was skilled in spirit summoning, was also invited to the small house.

Drinking in a room with no dark corners is a unique experience.

"Hey, Old Master Pang, it's come to this point, stop hiding your true intentions and bring out all your good wine!"

"Master Jin Gui urged. As a spirit-begging master, Pang Yi used wine to worship spirits, and the higher the quality of the wine, the more it could please the spirits."

He shook his head and smiled, then took out a jar of fine wine from his storage bag.

"This jar of honey wine is the result of thirty years of brewing. This is the last jar left, so I will share it with you two fellow Daoists today."

"Oh dear, there's only one jar. How can that be enough for the three of us?"

Despite saying that, Venerable Golden Turtle had already impatiently set out the snacks to accompany the wine.

After drinking with the two men, Li Mo's eyes lit up and he exclaimed in surprise.

"Good wine, good wine!"

After Li Mo finished speaking, he immediately took out some honey from the Corridor Bees and handed it to Pang Yi, who looked surprised.

"Master, what do you think of my spiritual honey?"

Upon hearing this, Pang Yi tried the taste and his eyes widened in surprise.

"What wonderful honey! Did you obtain it by chance, or did you brew it yourself?"

Seeing this, the Golden Turtle Master quickly took some spiritual honey and put it in his mouth, immediately letting out a long "hmm" sound, with an expression of endless enjoyment.

"This honey was collected and brewed by my own spirit bees."

Upon hearing this, Pang Yi's eyes immediately darted around.

"I wonder if you would be willing to part with some of your precious items, or... trade a batch of spiritual honey?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The three chatted freely, appearing to be in a harmonious mood. During the drinking session, they made a pact to form a defensive alliance should they encounter unforeseen dangers on their journey ahead.

the next day.

Li Mo stood on the deck of the solar ship, gazing thoughtfully towards the direction of the Lost Continent.

Within a few hours, that thing performed divination on him several times. He didn't know if it was the knife coins and the auspicious flag on his body that interfered with it, or some other reason, but Li Mo was almost certain that the thing was getting closer and closer.

"The appointed time is almost here, why hasn't Senior Mujen arrived yet?"

"Yes, I hope nothing unexpected happens."

The crowd was vaguely anxious, after all, the control array of this solar ship was on the other party. Although the Golden Turtle Master and Li Mo, as array masters, could also seize control using the Dao of Arrays, the road ahead was long and arduous. The effect of the two of them forcibly controlling the ship by destroying the array might cause some unknown consequences.

Fortunately at this time.

Two figures flew in from afar; they were two enormous birds that blotted out the sky.

Their faces changed constantly, as if turning the pages of a book, as they flew closer and closer. Because they were moving so fast, they created a raging storm behind them.

"The Faceless Immortal has arrived!"

After Li Mo confirmed the other party's identity, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After the two thousand-faced birds landed, they quickly transformed into human form. The male wore a silver mask and was tall, while the female appeared slightly weak, yet she was undeniably beautiful.

"Is everything here?"

The Faceless True Man took out an array plate and quickly took control of the solar ship. He looked behind him with a gloomy expression, as if a big trouble was coming.

"I'm going to start it."

However, at that moment, Li Mo suddenly realized something, and his expression changed immediately.

"Please hurry, senior, we're in big trouble!"

"Humph."

Upon hearing this, the Faceless Immortal couldn't help but show a hint of surprise and annoyance.

"You don't need to urge me; I already know that big trouble is coming. How can your little trouble compare to mine!"

As the solar boat was activated, the luminous ship sped towards the dark and desolate sea ahead.

The surroundings grew increasingly quiet and lifeless.

Only after the Sun Ship passed through an area that seemed to be blocked by starlight, and the surrounding darkness seemed to materialize and kept attacking the Sun Ship, trying to break into the bright cabin, did the Faceless True Man finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The solar boat sailed across the sea without causing the slightest ripple.

Standing on the edge of the deck and gazing out to sea, the water is like a mirror, clearly reflecting the starry sky, with starlight constantly twinkling, making the solar boat seem to be sailing in the sky.

Li Mo activated his True Spirit Eye and looked around, and he felt more and more that something was wrong.

The old man in the sleeve was also gazing at the sea, which was as smooth as a mirror, with endless stars twinkling in the eerily silent sky.

"Young man, if I am not mistaken, this is more like a forbidden starry sky than a forbidden sea. We are traveling through the starry sky."

Li Mo was taken aback by what the old man said.

But the ancient, barren, and desolate atmosphere here is exactly the same as inside the Misty Box.

"call……"

After letting out a long breath, the man in front gathered everyone together, revealing a smug and joyful expression.

"Let me introduce you, this is Princess Dai!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around to congratulate the Faceless Immortal, but the Faceless Immortal waved his hand.

"From now on, just call me the Thousand-Faced King."

At this point, the Thousand-Faced King looked at Li Mo.

"Fellow Daoist Li, I was too hasty just now and didn't ask what trouble you had gotten into. Also, I want to thank you for helping me rescue my beloved concubine. Rest assured, I am not a stingy person, hahaha!"

"So this is the Fellow Daoist Li that my husband mentioned."

The stunningly beautiful Princess Dai, though extremely weak, remained noble and graceful. She smiled gently at Li Mo, her eyes filled with a meaningful smile.
