A journey through immortal realms begins with a phantom tale.

The airship suddenly slid into the stormy sea, and the hull rocked violently.

Paben used his "Thousand-Pound Drop" technique to stand firmly, his feet gripping the locks on the deck, and shouted to his brother beside him, "Hold on tight!"

Princess Lanqiu on the other side also hooked her foot onto the lock, her expression grave. She was clearly aware of the dangers of sailing through the stormy sea.

In contrast, Luo Cheng and Li Qiang seemed much more relaxed.

Li Qiang, being young and fearless, coupled with his profound cultivation, was not concerned; Luo Cheng, on the other hand, was a transmigrator who had already used his true essence to stabilize his body and was aware of the impending storm.

"boom--"

The moment the airship plunged into the stormy sea, it emitted a muffled, deafening roar.

Li Qiang was thrown into the air and hit the top of the deck before falling heavily back down.

"Hahaha!" Na Shan couldn't help but laugh out loud, but he immediately shut up when Li Qiang gave him a cold look.

"Laugh if you want to." Li Qiang stood firm, his face expressionless.

Na Shan dared not laugh anymore, but Luo Cheng burst into loud laughter: "Hahaha!"

Li Qiang shook his head, slightly annoyed: "I was careless."

This little incident gave Luo Cheng a long-lost sense of relaxation.

As the airship ventured deeper into the stormy sea, the rocking of the vessel intensified.

Nashan and the others began to experience seasickness, their faces turning pale. Only Li Qiang, Luo Cheng, and some veteran crew members remained unharmed.

Seeing that Princess Lanqiu was tightly pursing her lips, clearly trying to suppress her discomfort, Luo Cheng walked to her side and set up a small stabilizing formation.

Lan Qiu immediately felt much better and gave him a grateful look.

Luo Cheng pondered for a moment, then took out a bottle of motion sickness medicine from his storage ring and handed it to her: "Take this medicine."

"What is the purpose of this medicine?" Lanqiu asked, taking the medicine bottle.

"It can reduce chest tightness and dizziness," Luo Cheng explained.

Lan Qiu took the pill as instructed, while Na Shan shouted from the side, "I want one too!"

"Go ask your boss for it," Luo Cheng said with a smile.

Li Qiang took out some motion sickness medicine and distributed it to everyone.

Lan Qiu lowered her head and remained silent, a ripple of emotion stirring within her: He seemed to treat me somewhat differently.

In fact, Luo Cheng had a special fondness for Princess Lanqiu before he transmigrated. He had thought that if she cultivated immortality, she might be able to reach a level like Yuan Gu.

The airship entered a relatively calm sea area, and everyone's condition improved slightly.

Seeing that Lan Qiu still looked nervous, Luo Cheng said, "How about this, I'll tell you a story."

"Okay!" Lan Qiu's eyes flashed with curiosity, wondering what kind of story this person would tell.

Luo Cheng thought that since they were at sea, telling the story of the Titanic would be most appropriate. He told the story vividly, captivating not only Lan Qiu but also Li Qiang and the others.

He secretly marveled that the story, told by his senior, was even more captivating than a movie, and there were many inside details he didn't know.

When talking about the classic love scene between Jack and Rose, Luo Cheng suddenly paused, looked at Lan Qiu's burning gaze, and suddenly realized: Why am I telling this story?

"Senior brother, why did you stop? What happened next?" Lan Qiu was listening intently when he stopped and couldn't help but ask, a hint of shyness appearing on her face.

Luo Cheng looked away and said, "I'm a little dizzy. Let my junior brother explain it to you." Without waiting for a response, he turned and left, leaving Lan Qiu looking bewildered.

Nashan then said to Li Qiang, "Boss, tell us quickly."

"Okay." Li Qiang replied, wondering if his senior brother had feelings for Princess Lanqiu?

In Li Qiang's view, Luo Cheng, given his status, was worthy of Princess Lanqiu. He couldn't help but wonder: was it a matter of mental state? Cultivation demands a very high level of mental state; if one's mental state is insufficient, one will be unable to pass the Heavenly Tribulation.

Soon, everyone was drawn into the story again.

After listening, Lan Qiu's eyes were already blurry with tears, and she felt a mix of indescribable emotions. She wondered: What was that person trying to say to me?

Princess Lanqiu calmed herself down a bit and pulled Li Qiang aside to ask, "What kind of person is your senior brother?"

"He has exceptional talent and comprehension. You might not know this, but while it takes others a thousand years to reach the Nascent Soul stage, my senior brother reached it in less than ten years."

"This?" Lan Qiu was very surprised.

She knew some secrets about cultivation because of her close relationship with the Divine Envoy, Capen. Because of this, she knew how difficult cultivation was, which made her even more astonished.

Lan Qiu said, "His talent is really, really high."

Li Qiang tried to guess Luo Cheng's thoughts but couldn't figure them out. He said, "With Senior Brother's talent, he might be able to ascend to the Immortal Realm in just a few years."

"Ascension?" Li Qiang felt a jolt of electricity run through his mind, and he seemed to understand. Lan Qiu also felt that she understood.

Princess Lanqiu asked, "After ascending to immortality, will we leave this world forever and go to that mysterious celestial realm?"

"Yes."

"I see."

Li Qiang stopped speaking; he felt he understood. He thought: His senior brother's avoidance of emotions must be because he was worried about leaving Princess Lanqiu in the cultivation world after his ascension.

Li Qiang sighed: "Cultivation seems wonderful, but it's a life beyond one's control." Therefore, Li Qiang always hoped his brothers would stay on Tanbang Star, so they could live the lives they wanted.

Princess Lanqiu said, "Actually, I envy you all very much. Cultivating immortality is the true freedom and ease. You can go wherever you want and even ascend to the mysterious immortal realm."

Luo Cheng was unaware that his only wish was for Princess Lanqiu to live longer, stemming from a lingering regret, so that they could meet again on his next trip to Tanbang Star. That was all. But Princess Lanqiu and Li Qiang misunderstood.

After Luo Cheng and Li Mengyi broke up, he dared not talk about relationships again. Subconsciously, he was afraid of relationships and afraid of getting hurt.

A day later, the airship began to rock again.

Luo Cheng came up to the deck and saw that everyone was there. Obviously, because of the turbulence, no one could get a proper rest, so they came up to the deck to see the outside scenery, which made them feel more at ease.

Outside, the sky was a deep gray, with streaks of lightning tearing through the air. Giant waves, tens of meters high, rolled in. The airship bobbed and swayed with the waves.

"There are sea monsters! There are sea monsters!"

"Assault guns, prepare!"

The airship had encountered some sea monsters before, but had safely navigated them. So, encountering another sea monster now wasn't a cause for concern. However, the airship's violent rocking made everyone feel physically uncomfortable.

Princess Lanqiu kept glancing at Luo Cheng, seemingly unintentionally, unsure how to face him. She thought: This man's stories are really captivating; it would be nice to hear him tell stories often.

Cultivating immortality? The thought of cultivating immortality flashed through Princess Lanqiu's mind. At this moment, she really wanted to cultivate immortality.

However, instead of asking Luo Cheng, she asked Li Qiang, "Boss, can you teach me cultivation?" At this moment, Princess Lanqiu, like Na Shan, also called Li Qiang "Boss".

Li Qiang agreed to Lan Qiu's simple request without hesitation.

Beside him, Luo Cheng smiled slightly, a smile that Princess Lanqiu caught. She thought: I guessed right, he wants me to cultivate immortality, so that I can be closer to him.

The storm outside was growing stronger, and sea monsters blocked their way. Luo Cheng said, "Let me out."

"No way!" the captain refused decisively. "In the current situation, going out is tantamount to suicide."

Luo Cheng walked to the exit, knocking several crew members away, then stepped out of the flying boat and hovered in the air. He then formed hand seals and unleashed the Eighteen Demon-Slaying Hands.

"Boom!"

Several golden lights flashed, striking the sea beasts ahead and sweeping them away by the giant waves. Then, Luo Cheng, with a sudden thought, used teleportation to enter the flying boat, saying, "I forgot about the teleportation skill when I left."

Everyone was dumbfounded, looking at Luo Cheng as if he were a monster.

Similarly, Princess Lanqiu was also extremely shocked. She finally understood what a genius was, what cultivation was, and how powerful Luo Cheng truly was. In this terrifying environment, she strolled around as if it were a leisurely stroll.

This also made Princess Lanqiu realize the gap between herself and Luo Cheng, causing her to doubt: Does he really like me? Does he have feelings for me? Would someone like him like a young girl like me?

After defeating the sea monster, Luo Cheng returned to his room to rest. At the same time, he set up several defensive formations to make his rest more comfortable.

Time passed slowly. Suddenly, Luo Cheng heard someone shouting at the door, "Senior Uncle! Senior Uncle!"

Luo Cheng got up, opened the door, and saw Na Shan and Tang Ge standing at the door, looking anxious.

"What happened?" Luo Cheng had only slept for a while and felt that nothing should have happened.

It's important to know that besides him, there were three other cultivators on the flying boat: Li Qiang, Hong Qian, and Ku Bo. It was precisely because of these three other cultivators that Luo Cheng could rest peacefully.

Nashan said, "The eldest brother has gone missing."

Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng thought to himself: No way, I only slept for a while and that guy has already disappeared?

Nashan said, "The eldest brother was swept away by the big wave while trying to save people."

Luo Cheng comforted him, "It's alright. With your boss's cultivation level, he'll be fine. We'll go to the rendezvous point and meet up with him."

After comforting him, Luo Cheng felt a little depressed: if he and Li Qiang separated, he wouldn't be able to complete one of the dungeons.

Luo Cheng knew that Li Qiang's disappearance had ironically led to a stroke of luck; he had gone to the City of Heavenly Sounds, found a cheap master, and even acquired some alchemy materials. Luo Cheng was also very curious about the City of Heavenly Sounds.

pity.

Even if Luo Cheng were to search for the City of Heavenly Music alone in the vast ocean, he wouldn't be able to find it. Although he had reached the Nascent Soul stage, the range of his divine sense's exploration was not very far.

Luo Cheng came to the deck and saw that everyone was there. After Li Qiang went missing, Luo Cheng had the highest cultivation level, and everyone wanted to hear Luo Cheng's opinion.

Luo Cheng said, "Don't worry, Junior Brother will be fine."

Luo Cheng, being a time traveler, knew that Li Qiang was a descendant of the Celestial Venerable and possessed great fortune, so he would be safe. Seeing that Luo Cheng wasn't worried, everyone calmed down.

For the rest of the journey, Luo Cheng didn't sleep; he stayed on the deck, keeping a watchful eye on the situation to prevent any further accidents.

Soon, the airship arrived at the first gathering point, replenished its supplies, and continued its journey.

After several days of sailing, the airship finally arrived near Leigu Beach. Upon hearing the name Leigu Beach, Luo Cheng, based on his memory, could determine the location of the City of Heavenly Music.

Luo Cheng thought to himself: For everyone's safety, let's go to the City of Heavenly Music together.

No one had any objections to Luo Cheng's arrangements.

With the exact location, Luo Cheng was able to find the outer array of the City of Heavenly Sounds. Sure enough, Luo Cheng discovered a loophole in the array.

"Walk."

Led by Luo Cheng, everyone entered the City of Heavenly Music.

After entering the city, Luo Cheng wondered: I wonder if Li Qiang has arrived yet.

When Luo Cheng and his group entered the City of Heavenly Sounds, the cultivators there were greatly surprised, as they had not expected anyone to suddenly break in.

In an instant, more than a dozen cultivators surrounded them.

Hong Qian was shocked: "What kind of place is this? It's full of Nascent Soul stage cultivators."

It should be noted that Hong Qian is only at the Nascent Soul stage, and his combat strength is still at the bottom among Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

"It's alright," Luo Cheng said calmly.
