The third Saint's Road found by Fish Bone is exactly what they were looking for.

"I had originally found a new sacrificial target for us, in the most dangerous place in the deep sea.

This indeed carries huge risks, especially since in recent years, more and more people are turning into evils.

And replenishing our manpower is becoming increasingly difficult.

We had to change the sacrificial target.

For a higher chance of success, the strongest is the best.

And the price for that is this crystal ball.

I wanted to divine, to receive a hint, but unfortunately, I couldn't understand it.

Let's try again tomorrow, it's best to divine only once a day.

You all should also avoid trying without reason; receiving a hint from divination also comes at a cost.

Moreover, it's an invisible cost, depleting our fortune."

Fish Bone secretly breathed a sigh of relief; the High Priest was more open-minded than he anticipated, which was good.

He didn't even feel threatened by Fish Bone's position.

Thinking about the various experiences on land, and the many stories heard in the Jade Tablet.

Fish Bone thought, their struggles in the deep sea might not all be bad; at least the dangers of the deep sea forced them not to think about vying for power and taught them not to be arrogant, but to be cautious.

The next day, after the High Priest bathed, changed clothes, and adjusted his state, he once again held the crystal ball for divination.

This time, he no longer asked for a two-choice hint.

Instead, he chose the existence in the deep sea in his original plan, letting the crystal ball give an indication of fortune or misfortune.

The crystal ball was very effective, or rather, this one was even more straightforward than the first counterfeit.

"Eat shit, Lei, a rich family."

The High Priest carefully savored it; the first half didn't seem like good words, but he understood the words 'rich family'; it was likely a great omen.

To be cautious, the High Priest also informed Fish Bone and Jellyfish so they could refer to it.

The two had the same opinion as the High Priest.

However, they weren't in a hurry to choose; on the third day, they again chose the third Saint's Road, disregarding the deep sea's existence as the premise, to divine fortune or misfortune.

"Holy Fire Shining, Meow Meow Meow."

It was very similar to the first one, and they still didn't understand what it meant.

Fish Bone looked at the three hints, hesitated, and said.

"On land, I knew an evil; he borrowed the power of another and eventually lost control, turning into an evil.

But he understood the crystal's hint, prepared in advance, and eventually, by chance, regained consciousness from evil.

And the crystal ball was also given by him.

I think no one understands the hints from the crystal ball better than him.

Why don't I message him to ask for advice?

He once told me that if misunderstood, it could actually be more dangerous.

I think we should be cautious."

The High Priest patted Fish Bone's shoulder appreciatively.

"You remain so cautious, not becoming arrogant because you found the third Saint's Road; it's truly wonderful.

Let's do as you said; we're not yet in the deep sea and can retreat a little."

The Black Ship retreated westward, drawing closer to the near sea. This distance was better.

The ritual was prepared, and a flying sword fell onto the magic platform, disappearing suddenly as the ritual proceeded.

A day later, a flying sword appeared out of thin air in the east of Jinlan Mountain, falling towards the small magic platform Fish Bone had left before departure.

Said to be a message for Yuan Chou, it actually fell into the hands of Yu Ziqing.

Yu Ziqing, looking at the information inside, showed a peculiar expression; this crystal ball was more straightforward.

Except this straightforwardness was for Yu Ziqing; others still saw it as gibberish.

Yu Ziqing, speaking in the tone of Yuan Chou, explained in detail.

He said that legend has it there is a fearsome and powerful Divine Sect whose followers not only cross species but are numerous and overwhelming; you couldn't tell who was a follower, and perhaps the sect's followers still exist today.

Their slogan is "The Holy Fire Shines, the Holy Fire Shines, all my disciples, Meow Meow Meow."

It's said the sacred beast of the Divine Sect is a mysterious cat, blah blah blah...

Yu Ziqing exaggerated a lot.

As for the second line, in a serious tone, he explained that wealth doesn't mean wealth, in some places on land, it's a euphemism for coffin.

Anyway, it's not good words; it's an insidious curse to curse people.

After recording, Yu Ziqing found Yuan Chou, had Yuan Chou transcribe it, and sent it to Fish Bone.

Fish Bone didn't detail what he encountered, but Yu Ziqing believed Juice wouldn't harm him, so he explained the true intent sincerely, without any distortion.

On the other side, Fish Bone received the message and handed it directly to the High Priest.

The High Priest, after reading it, broke into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, they were cautious and didn't rush to make choices without fully understanding the second line, otherwise, they'd be doomed.

Who would've thought those two words, 'rich family,' implied such coldness, the meaning of one line being the whole family lies flat.

Originally, finding the crystal ball was to find a way out; who knew it would be like this.

The High Priest placed the crystal ball on the magic platform and immediately gathered everyone on the Black Ship for a ritual, to show respect and gratitude.

This Holy Object naturally couldn't be sent to the dangerous ones in the deep sea anymore.

With the Holy Object and the third Saint's Road, it was already enough; why look for dangerous elements in the deep sea.

On the other side, Yu Ziqing didn't know; he initially thought the Black Ship Saint would send out the second counterfeit, but instead, the Black Ship Saint kept it for themselves...

...

In the Abyss, the Black Shadow Man who took the first counterfeit walked through the wilderness.

He rotated the crystal ball and got a phrase from it.

"Eat shit, Lei, a rich family."

The Black Shadow Man naturally couldn't understand this gibberish, but he understood the words 'rich family.'

A slight smile appeared on his face as he satisfactorily put away the crystal ball. When his sight left the crystal ball, he couldn't sense it anymore.

The progress was much smoother than he expected. He didn't think the crystal ball would be buried where the giant shark demon had been dismembered back then.

He traveled all the way to the vicinity of the Mud Sea of the Muddied World, and upon seeing the blazing fierce flames there, he paused slightly.

The coastline of the Mud Sea of the Muddied World had receded several dozen miles deeper since his last visit.
