CHAPTER 365: CHAPTER 163: BOUNTIFUL HARVEST, JADE SUN MANUAL (PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)_2

He even thought, why not just lie down and let things happen.

His current strength was enough for him to act recklessly.

But Xu Qing still decided, determined not to give up on himself.

He still had a chance!

Fine words cost nothing; speaking them made everyone happy.

Feng Wu couldn’t help but laugh: "Can you really substitute for this kind of thing?"

"Sincerity makes spirits come true."

Feng Wu: "What about Yu Yangzi’s remains?"

Xu Qing, shadowed by Red-haired Yan Kong, would avoid bringing back the remains of such respectable predecessors if possible. Who knows if they might come looking for a heart-to-heart talk in the middle of the night?

Just thinking about it sent shivers down his spine.

Xu Qing waved his hand: "Let’s leave it here."

Feng Wu: "I was thinking the same thing. After all, he was a respectable predecessor, and we should show due respect. Let’s get out of here first."

Xu Qing nodded.

As usual, he checked on the condition of the Qi Fortune Little Snake before leading Feng Wu out.

Returning to the great hall, it was a complete mess and it seemed that their departure from the Inner Treasury had triggered some mechanisms, causing the ground to shake under their feet.

Xu Qing looked at the gold, silver, treasures, and weapons, as well as elixirs in the hall with regret. Quickly grabbing what he could with his leather bag and finally stopped when the Qi Fortune Little Snake was emitting a dark aura, he left with Feng Wu.

Once they reached the surface of the sea, Xu Qing used his Divine Soul Power to navigate a wooden board. Despite thick fog all around, he could see the outline of Liubo Mountain collapsing, and the giant turtle sinking deep into the sea, disappearing into the ocean depths.

It was uncertain when they would see this giant turtle and the almost magically realistic Liubo Mountain again.

"This giant turtle, I wonder how long it has lived."

"Who knows, it seemed quite content."

"How would you know the joy of a fish?"

"My Divine Soul Cultivation is higher than yours. I sensed its happiness; you probably didn’t feel it. Let’s practice more tonight."

"Pfft."

The two chatted for a while, dispelling the tension in the vast sea fog.

On the great ocean, all that supported their bodies was a tiny wooden board.

But Xu Qing, accustomed to riding the wind and waves, used his divine soul to manipulate the surrounding air currents, moving wherever he wished.

In essence, Dao Skill is about the use of Divine Soul Power.

With Xu Qing’s powerful soul and superior control, he wasn’t strictly bound by traditional Dao techniques, resonating with the essence of "traveling through the six empties and using all things".

"Don’t panic. As long as there’s no storm, we’ll be fine. Don’t you trust my abilities?" Xu Qing sensed that Feng Wu was still somewhat worried.

In the vast sea fog, there was an overwhelming sense of loneliness and an inexplicable fear.

"Don’t jinx it, what if a storm really comes?" Initially, Feng Wu had not thought of a storm, but Xu Qing’s words naturally made her nervous.

This life or death puzzle was too difficult to solve.

She might dismiss it with words, but when it really happened, she was still timid.

Xu Qing:"I didn’t study all that nautical knowledge with Gao Gongyuan for nothing. Don’t worry, according to the celestial phenomena, a storm won’t appear soon."

"I can’t see any celestial phenomena; it’s all fog."

"That’s why I say your cultivation is shallow. Don’t worry, your disciple is here."

Feng Wu gave him a blank look, but with their banter, time passed quickly. Perhaps indeed by good fortune, they finally emerged from the sea fog.

However, it was difficult to distinguish directions in the vast, gloomy daylight.

Xu Qing, however, was certain of one direction, riding the long wind and breaking through thousands of waves.

If someone were in the sky, they would see a person riding a wooden board, carrying a pretty young lady, crossing the ocean mysteriously.

Truly like an immortal floating in the air.

Having traveled for so long, the sky was dimming, about to turn to night.

Suddenly, Xu Qing let out a long howl.

The wooden board beneath them rocked back and forth.

Thankfully, Feng Wu’s movement technique was solid, and her footing was secure, preventing her from being thrown off.

Additionally, in the vast ocean, sensing the changes in the water flow, she vaguely grasped a new understanding of the Eight Diagrams Body Technique.

Not long after, a sea ship approached them, first appearing as a speck in the distance, then growing larger, finally reaching them before nightfall.

A rope ladder was thrown down from the ship, Xu Qing grabbed it, and climbed aboard.

Subsequently, cheers like a tsunami erupted on deck.

It turned out to be a warship from the Jinghai Guard Navy.

Because Xu Qing and Feng Wu disappeared with Liubo Mountain in the sea fog, Meng Yuxuan, unwilling to give up, had ordered the Navy warship and Xu Qing’s merchant ship to chase after the fog and search everywhere.

Indeed, perseverance pays off; it was the Navy warship that first heard Xu Qing’s long howl nearby and sailed over.

The sailors on this ship were thoroughly impressed with Xu Qing.

In the vast ocean, riding the wind and waves, maintaining composure, truly like a divine being.

Afterward, the Military Officer on the warship sent a signal, waving flags to signal nearby naval ships to return, and Xu Qing’s merchant ship also arrived, taking Xu Qing and Feng Wu back on board.

The anxious hearts of those on the ship finally relaxed completely.

Hence, cheers erupted spontaneously.

After this ordeal, whether it was the Navy or the people on the merchant ship, all believed that Xu Jieyuan was someone destined by heaven.

Especially Gao Gongyuan, who had earlier told everyone how perilous seafaring was; a man and a woman, disappearing in the ocean, even deities might not survive.

That this couple could return unharmed, if not by fate, then what?

Naturally, Xu Qing was enveloped in a strong aura of mystery.

However, Xu Qing couldn’t spare time to deal with all this; he had gained a lot from the Xuantian Treasure Vault, especially with the leather bag containing rare treasures from the Inner Treasury and the Jade Sun Manual. He also scooped up some external treasures, weapons, and elixirs.
