Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 620 A Long and Arduous Journey, Finally Returning Home (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

As for the disciples of the "Wuya Sect" behind him, they were like country bumpkins who had never seen the world, all dumbfounded and discussing among themselves.

"This is my 'Sky Patrol Ship,' which is at the peak of the third tier. Even if I encounter a Nascent Soul Realm True Person, it can withstand a few blows."

Li Yunjing smiled slightly and explained casually.

"amazing!"

Yue Wuyai looked intently at Li Yunjing.

The more I come into contact with it, the more awe I feel.

At first, Yue Wuyai had a so-so impression of Li Yunjing. If Li Yunjing hadn't been the deputy sect leader of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", he wouldn't have thought much of him, let alone fully cooperated with him.

As he came into contact with Li Yunjing more, especially during the numerous battles, the combat prowess he displayed, along with the countless treasures, dazzled him, and he almost developed malicious intentions towards them.

However, Li Yunjing's mystery made Yue Wuyai suppress his greed; he simply couldn't see through Li Yunjing's true nature.

Li Yunjing's mystery and the subtle sense of danger made Yue Wuyai completely obedient. Otherwise, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator would not be so polite to a Golden Core Realm cultivator!
It is a crime to possess a treasure!
In the world of cultivation, it is not uncommon for treasures to be killed.

Li Yunjing's "Purple Gold Gourd", "Boundary-Breaking Sword", "Heavenly Profound Compass", and all the treasures he possessed, including the "Sky Patrol Ship" that he just showed up, are all good stuff!
Any one of these things could make a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator envious and even tempt them to kill.

"Alright! Everyone, stop standing there and get moving!"

Li Yunjing looked at everyone, pointed to the "Sky Patrol Ship," and gave instructions.

"hurry up!"

Seeing his disciples' disappointing behavior, Yue Wuyai blushed and shouted in a low voice.

"Yes!"

It was only then that everyone realized what was happening and transferred from the spirit boat to the "Sky Patrol Ship". The disciples of the "Boundless Cliff Sect" were so shocked by the scene before them that they were speechless.

The deck is covered with fourth-order dragon bones and scales. Stepping on it generates spiritual energy, making one feel refreshed.

The sides of the ship are covered with intricate array patterns, with faint dragon-shaped phantoms moving about.

The bow of the ship is adorned with rows of massive bronze cannons, their deep muzzles radiating a chilling aura of power.

This is just the surface; there's something even more hidden inside the "Sky Patrol Ship's" cabins.

"This...this is really a Tier 3 warship?"

A disciple of the "Boundless Cliff Sect" stammered, "Our sect's flagship warship is only a low-grade third-tier vessel!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Wuyai, who had just put away the spirit boat, blushed again.

In front of Li Yunjing, this Nascent Soul Realm cultivator really had nothing to boast about!

In terms of wealth, Yue Wuyai had a feeling that Li Yunjing was much richer than him.

In terms of combat strength, he felt it would be difficult to defeat Li Yunjing, so it was considered a draw.

Now, the only thing he can comfort himself with is that he is a Nascent Soul Realm True Person and has lived longer than Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing smiled slightly and said nothing more. He simply raised his hand and made a hand seal. The entire "Sky Patrol Ship" was immediately covered with a layer of light silver light, and the runes on the ship's body lit up one by one, flowing as if they were alive.

"set off!"

With a low shout, the "Sky Patrol Ship" broke through the waves and rose into the sky, its speed more than ten times faster than the previous spirit boat!
Despite the howling winds, the ship remained perfectly still, with not even the tea on the table trembling.

Yue Wuyai's eyes flickered, his heart filled with even greater shock.

"Fellow Daoist Li, your 'Sky Patrol Ship' is truly amazing!"

Yue Wuyai asked tentatively.

Li Yunjing smiled but did not answer. He simply reached out and led Yue Wuyai into the driver's seat.

Instantly, a huge star map of the sea appeared inside the ship, clearly marking the route, danger zones, and even several unknown areas flashing red.

The entire cockpit is filled with restrictions and formations, densely packed with various types of restrictions and formations, each serving a different purpose. When combined, they form a warship capable of conquering the stars.

Yue Wuyai was an expert; after observing for a while, he figured out the function of these formations and restrictions.

"hiss……"

Yue Wuyai gasped, his voice trembling as he asked, "The 'Sky Patrol Ship' can soar through the stars, right?"

"hehe!"

Li Yunjing chuckled, nodded, and said, "Sure! But I haven't tried it yet. The sky above 'Tianlan Star' is not safe, and you can't just take off easily!"

"That's what happened!"

Yue Wuyai was taken aback, then nodded in agreement with Li Yunjing's words.

Lower-level cultivators are unaware of the terrors outside "Tianlan Star," but cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above, who comprehend the Heavenly Dao, know to some extent the terrors of the outer starry sky.

Without top-tier combat power at the Nascent Soul Realm, one wouldn't dare attempt interstellar travel.

Even the ancestors at the Nascent Soul stage stayed obediently on "Tianlan Star," and would never attempt to enter the starry sky to seek opportunities for breakthrough unless absolutely necessary.

Danger is one of the factors.

Another factor is that the starry sky is so vast and boundless.

No one knows where the opportunity lies, so searching aimlessly is a waste of time and is unwise. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot live for six thousand years!

Basically, five thousand years is the limit.

Some people may live for a few hundred more years by relying on rare and precious materials or life-extending techniques, but it is extremely difficult to cross the threshold of six thousand years.

Therefore, Li Yunjing would not allow the "Sky Patrol Ship" to take off and enter the outer space, taking a detour back to the "Great Ming Immortal Cultivation World".

That choice would have been far more dangerous than it is now.

“Deep within the ‘Ghost Mist Sea’, there are several dangerous places that we need to bypass.”

Li Yunjing pointed to the star map, "However, with the 'Sky Patrol Ship' here, even if we encounter a Nascent Soul Realm demon beast, we can hold it off for a while, preventing the ship from being destroyed and everyone from dying."

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"

Yue Wuyai felt a chill run down his spine, secretly relieved that he hadn't acted rashly.

He vaguely sensed that the secrets hidden within Li Yunjing were probably even more terrifying than he had imagined.

Just then, the ship suddenly shuddered slightly, and the alarm runes lit up abruptly!

"Ok?"

Li Yunjing frowned, raised his hand and waved it, and the scene outside the ship was immediately projected onto the formation.

Beneath the surface of the sea, a huge black shadow was slowly rising, its size several times larger than the previous Thousand-Year Ghost Octopus!
"It's a deep-sea whale!"

A Golden Core elder from the "Boundless Cliff Sect" cried out in terror, "Legend has it that this kind of demonic beast can devour mountains and seas. Anyone below the Nascent Soul Realm who encounters it will find it difficult to escape its calamity!"

"I'll go and slay this demon!"

Yue Wuyai's expression was solemn as he gripped the "Boundless Sword" tightly, preparing for battle.

"Not urgent!"

However, Li Yunjing simply smiled faintly, "Perfect, let's test the power of the 'Sky Patrol Ship'."

"Oh? Then I'll wait and see!"

Yue Wuyai's heart stirred, and he put away the "Boundless Sword" and said with a smile.

The other disciples of the "Boundless Cliff Sect" also showed expressions of anticipation, hoping to see just how powerful this warship really was.

"Then give it a try!"

Li Yunjing smiled slightly and used his divine sense to control the fire control system. In an instant, the spiritual energy inside the ship gathered wildly, the cannons lit up with dazzling lightning, and a destructive aura spread out!
"Boom!"

A dazzling beam of light pierced through the sea and sky, and the demonic whale was blasted into a cloud of blood mist before it could even let out a scream!
The entire sea fell into a deathly silence.

"That's a peak third-tier demon king!"

The disciples of Wuya Sect were stunned, and Yue Wuya's pupils shrank sharply, his heart filled with turbulent waves.

The power of this shot is comparable to that of a cultivator at the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm!

That kind of attack power can hurt him!

Li Yunjing really has many ways to kill a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!
"Perverted! Absolutely perverted!"

Yue Wuyai cursed inwardly.

"Just keep on your way."

Li Yunjing withdrew his hand and said casually.

Yue Wuyai gave him a deep look and finally realized that this seemingly gentle young man was probably not someone he could afford to provoke!
During the remainder of the voyage, Yue Wuyai personally took charge at the bow of the ship.

Whenever a siren attacks, he is like a war god descending upon the world, often annihilating a powerful enemy with a single sword strike.

Once, when he encountered a swarm of "soul-devouring jellyfish", he directly unleashed his natal magic weapon, triggering a wide-range supernatural power that turned the entire sea area into a sea of ​​fire.

"There is a spatial rift three hundred miles ahead!"

Li Yunjing suddenly issued a warning.

Where the sea meets the sky, countless black cracks spread like a spider web, and turbulent void currents can be vaguely seen.

Yue Wuyai laughed loudly: "A perfect opportunity to take a shortcut!"

"Excellent! This is an opportunity!"

Li Yunjing thought for a moment, smiled slightly, and nodded in agreement with Yue Wuyai's words.

He actually steered the "Sky Patrol Ship" towards the rift zone, activating its five-colored divine light shield and forcefully carving a passage through the turbulent currents. As the "Sky Patrol Ship" rocked violently, everyone was horrified to see countless ancient warship wrecks floating in the rift.

"That's... the ruins of the ancient war between immortals and demons!"

Yue Wuyai's pupils contracted sharply as he stared intently into the depths of the crack.

Countless shattered warship wrecks floated in the turbulent void. Some were pitch black and covered with hideous claw marks, while others shone with golden light and still emitted faint energy fluctuations even after tens of thousands of years.

What's even more chilling is that some of the remains still have dried-up corpses hanging on them. Some of them look like humans, while others have three heads and six arms, clearly not human beings!
"Boom!"

Suddenly, a void turbulence swept across, causing the "Sky Patrol Ship" to tremble violently, and fine cracks appeared on its protective shield!

"What a powerful force!"

Li Yunjing's expression changed slightly. He quickly formed hand seals, activated the ship's formation at full power, and the five-colored divine light surged again, firmly stabilizing the ship.

"Fellow Daoist Li, we need to speed things up!"

Yue Wuyai said in a deep voice, "This place is very eerie. I feel like something is watching us!"

"Good! Let's get out of here soon!"

Li Yunjing's gaze sharpened, and as he activated the "Heavenly Secrets Technique," he detected a chilling aura.

"what is that?!"

He suddenly looked up and gazed into the depths of the crack.

A massive bronze ship slowly emerged from the darkness, its hull covered in rust, yet radiating a suffocating aura of power.

The bow of the ship is carved with a hideous demon face with empty eyes, yet it seems to be "staring" at the "Sky Patrol Ship" as if it were consciously aware of its presence!
"It's the 'Ghost Ship of the Underworld'!"

Li Yunjing's voice carried a rare hint of solemnity, "Legend has it that this forbidden object wanders in the dimensional spacetime turbulence. Any cultivator who encounters it will be dragged into the Netherworld and never be reincarnated!"

"what?!"

Yue Wuyai's expression changed drastically. "Let's speed through here!"

However, it's too late!

"Woo..."

A mournful horn sound came from the ghost ship, the sound waves vibrated, and the void turbulence instantly erupted!
The shield of the "Sky Patrol Ship" was flashing violently, showing signs of collapse!

"Damn it!"

Li Yunjing gritted his teeth and slammed his hand on the control panel, "Activate the 'Heavenly Escape Talisman Array'!"

"Boom!"

In an instant, a bolt of lightning flashed on the "Sky Patrol Ship," countless golden runes lit up, and a dazzling pillar of light shot into the sky, disappearing completely into the void!
Just as the "Sky Patrol Ship" disappeared, a blurry figure slowly emerged on the deck of the ghost ship. It raised its skeletal hand and gently grabbed in the direction they had left.

"Crack!"

The teleportation was interrupted!

The "Sky Patrol Ship" reappeared in the void turbulence fifty miles away.

"Boom!"

Just then, the "Sky Patrol Ship" unleashed its full firepower, all its cannons roaring, and a black hole appeared in the fragile void.

"good chance!"

Li Yunjing immediately steered the "Sky Patrol Ship" into the black hole.

The next instant, the "Sky Patrol Ship" fell out of the void and crashed heavily onto the sea, stirring up huge waves.

The ship was damaged in many places, and its precious luster was dim, indicating that it had suffered great losses.

"We... escaped?"

"A Golden Core Realm elder from the Wuya Sect asked in a trembling voice."

Li Yunjing's face was pale, and a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "We're safe for now."

Yue Wuyai looked behind him with lingering fear. The void rift had disappeared, as if it had never existed.

"What exactly is that ghost ship?"

he asked in a low voice.

"I don't know. There are only scattered records in ancient books. It is said that it does not belong to this world, but comes from the underworld."

Li Yunjing shook his head and said self-deprecatingly, "Fortunately, we've traveled ten thousand miles, which has saved us a lot of time."

"Fellow Daoist Li, traveling with you is truly thrilling!"

Yue Wuyai remained silent for a moment, then suddenly gave a bitter smile.

Yue Wuyai had never experienced anything so exciting in his life. First, he caused a great disturbance on "Burial Island," where a group of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators fought each other, and now he had seen something from the legends.

"This life has not been in vain!"

Yue Wuyai sighed inwardly and thought to himself.

"Don't worry, there shouldn't be any more dangers of this level next."

Li Yunjing smiled as he looked around at the surroundings. The thick fog had thinned considerably. "At least we're almost out of the 'Ghost Fog Sea'."

He maneuvered the "Sky Patrol Ship" to adjust its course and continue sailing south.

Two years later, the "Sky Patrol Ship" finally sailed out of the "Ghost Mist Sea".

"I can see the Southern Dipper."

Li Yunjing pointed to the darkening sky, "After another half-month's voyage south, we will reach the South China Sea."

"I hope the journey ahead will be smooth sailing!"

Yue Wuyai sheathed his blood-stained sword, gazed at the distant horizon, and suddenly laughed, "Fellow Daoist Li, once we reach 'Wanghai City,' we'll be counting on you."

Li Yunjing understood Yue Wuyai's concerns.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry! I will definitely keep my promise! You people will definitely be able to join my 'Shenxiao Dao Sect' and become disciples just like everyone else."

Everyone laughed upon hearing this, and their nerves, which had been tense for many days, finally relaxed a little.

As the "Sky Patrol Ship" sailed away from the "Ghost Mist Sea," the sea gradually calmed down, and the sky cleared up.

In the distance, several seabirds skimmed across the sea, emitting clear calls, as if announcing that the danger had passed.

"Finally... I'm going home."

Li Yunjing stood at the bow of the ship, gazing at the azure sea, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Li, we are so grateful to you this time, otherwise we would probably have been buried at sea long ago."

Yue Wuyai walked to his side and smiled.

"It was just a collaboration. Fellow Daoist Yue's Nascent Soul combat power was also a great help."

Li Yunjing shook his head and smiled faintly, "Besides, we're all on the same side, why say such formal things?"

The two smiled at each other, understanding each other tacitly.

However, just when everyone thought everything had settled down, the "Heavenly Profound Compass" hanging on Li Yunjing's waist trembled violently, the pointer spun wildly, and finally pointed firmly to the seabed!

"not good!"

Li Yunjing's pupils contracted, and he suddenly shouted, "All ships on alert!"

"Boom!"

The sea suddenly exploded, and a huge, pitch-black shadow burst out of the water—it was a dragon that was thousands of feet long!

Its scales gleamed with a cold, eerie blue light, its eyes were crimson, and it spewed out chilling air, instantly freezing the entire sea area into ice!
Nearby, a middle-aged man dressed in a dark blue Taoist robe, wielding a long sword, was fighting desperately against the demon king!
"A fourth-tier high-level demon king! And there's also a Nascent Soul cultivator, whose cultivation is comparable to mine!"

Yue Wuyai's expression changed drastically, and his voice trembled.

"This black dragon is probably at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul Realm!"

Li Yunjing stared intently at the dragon, then looked at the figure and said in a deep voice, "I know that cultivator. He comes from the 'Canglan Continent' and is called True Man Canglan!"

"Oh? You know people from the 'Azure Continent'?"

Yue Wuyai was greatly surprised.

It is important to know that on "Tianlan Star", "Canglan Continent" is the number one continent. It is said that the top three sects and masters in the world live on this continent.

The "Canglan Continent" is also a paradise for cultivating immortality, far surpassing other continents.

"Canglan Continent" can represent the highest level of cultivation on "Tianlan Star"!
The people here generally have higher cultivation levels than cultivators from other continents and seas.

"Yes! That person is called Master Canglan!"

Li Yunjing said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect this person to cultivate so quickly!"

As for the grudges between Canglan Zhenren and him, Li Yunjing naturally wouldn't mention it; that was a dispute between the two of them.

Li Yunjing was not surprised that Canglan Zhenren was able to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm so quickly, after all, Canglan Zhenren had obtained one-third of the "Source of Life" from the underground labyrinth.

This person was originally a peak Golden Core cultivator, but he encountered an accident and his cultivation level dropped.

With the "Source of Life," they quickly cultivated their magic power to perfection and successfully entered the Nascent Soul Realm. Some "Sources of Life" even enhanced their Nascent Soul Realm cultivation.

Li Yunjing possessed more "Life Sources" than Canglan Zhenren, but he had never been willing to use them. Apart from giving some to Li Cangqiong for healing, he carefully stored them all in his "Purple Gold Gourd".
