"Do you think taking a detour will make it safe? You don't understand the ocean Principle of the Gu World at all. Big ships eat small ships; big ships often devour small ships on sight."

"Because the ocean is unregulated and beyond the reach of rules, killing a group of people at sea and feeding them to the fish will go unnoticed. Therefore, piracy is rampant, and murder for treasure is commonplace."

"Our ship is far too small; any ship that sees us will be tempted to kill and plunder."

"It's only because we were too close to the shore when we encountered that Seven-Story Treasure Ship, otherwise do you think the people on board would have let us go so easily?"

"The large group of Devil Cultivator on board are not under the Ninth Young Master's jurisdiction; they are capable of anything."

"That's why I suggest we go straight to the Death Sea. I'm never afraid of danger. If I were, I wouldn't have come to Sky Island to court death, let alone gone out to sea!" Xiong Dali said disdainfully.

"That's right! It's not that I like to court death, but if this ship's performance isn't sufficient to navigate the Death Sea, then I'm definitely against it."

"But didn't the first mate say that this ship has excellent performance and can navigate to all kinds of the Forbidden Sea, basically ignoring the dangers of the Death Sea?"

"I trust Captain Rose Ship's judgment, so I support venturing into the Death Sea!" Hunter Qiu Tiandao this point.

At this point, the other crew members also started discussing whether to take a detour or go straight, and everyone engaged in a heated discussion.

"Alright! I know nothing about things at sea. Since everyone has their own reasons, let's vote! Whether we go to the Death Sea or not, the minority should obey the majority."

Captain Long Xuan suddenly spoke, and the discussion on the ship finally ceased.

Long Xuan looked around and, seeing no one objecting, spoke again, "Now, listen to my command. Those who agree to go to the Death Sea, please raise your hands!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than ninety people excitedly raised their hands, and very few people did not.

Long Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. He suddenly realized that people who planned to go on adventures to Sky Island were all people who liked to court death.

People who prioritize stability would never go to sea, nor would they choose to risk their lives to search for treasure on Sky Island.

So he packed a boat full of people who liked to court death; all of them had an adventurous spirit and loved to go on adventures in interesting places.

He couldn't help but marvel at how many fearless people there were in this world.

However, at this time, Long Xuan had no idea that the real reason the crew liked to navigate the Death Sea was not because they had confidence in the performance of the Divine Dragon Ship.

It was entirely because people die for wealth and birds die for food that the Divine Dragon Ship's performance gave all the crew members confidence, which fueled their greed.

Long Xuan, being such Little White, had no idea just how rich the resources of the Forbidden Sea were.

Wherever humans have never set foot, treasures abound.

Few people can venture into the Death Sea, which means that Death Sea resources have not been developed by humans.

Leaving aside other resources, just consider the various aquatic plants underwater. Since no humans have ever harvested them, they are truly a treasure trove of spirit medicine!

Even the density of ancient spirit medicine is extremely high.

The Death Sea is more than just rich; once these poor Gu cultivators manage to escape Death Sea, their wealth will increase a hundredfold.

Such temptation is enough to make most people forget the danger.

At this point, Long Xuan naively believed that they had confidence in their Divine Dragon Ship.

"Alright! Since the vast majority of people agree to go through the Death Sea, let's go through the Death Sea then!"

"The course remains unchanged; we'll head straight for the Death Sea!"

As soon as Long Xuan finished speaking, cheers erupted on the ship.

Only Mo Zuo and Mo You's legs trembled, their faces deathly pale, and they sighed inwardly, "It's all over."

They glanced silently at the Young Master Mo, who was now wildly excited, and couldn't help but feel extremely regretful for having followed him onto the ship.

Nie Qingcheng left with a joyful expression, returning the Endless Jade to Long Xuan. Di Xin then took her place, looking at the Endless Jade in Long Xuan's hand and smiling:

"So this thing is called the Endless Jade. I happen to have an identical piece of jade on me. If it weren't for this voyage, we inlanders would never have known about its uses."

Upon hearing this, Long Xuan was startled. He hadn't expected that Di Xin also possessed a piece of the Endless Jade. Had she, like him, also stumbled upon it by chance?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. She's a woman of destiny among mortals; isn't it perfectly normal for her to find an Endless Jade?

Moreover, having visited the treasure vaults of so many powerful forces, the probability of him accidentally finding an Endless Jade is actually quite high.

"That's a pity! One piece of Endless Jade Endless Jade enough for a ship, the one you have is useless," Long Xuan laughed.

"Is that so?" Di Xin chuckled, then added, "This piece of Endless Jade Endless Jade useless to me, but when I obtained it, there was a letter next to it."

"This letter contains a lot of information about the Sky Island Ruins, and this information is still very useful."

"I think you'll find some of the content in the letter very interesting."

Upon hearing this, Long Xuan was startled again, and couldn't help but wonder why this scene seemed so familiar.

He received a piece of jade and a letter, and she also received a piece of jade and a letter; they were truly destined to meet.

Looking at the distant seascape, Di Xin said, "There's a piece of information in this letter that you'll definitely find very interesting."

"Somewhere in the Sky Island Ruins, there is a Spirit Insect called the Repair Worm. You must be very interested in this insect."

Di Xin's lips curled into a mysterious smile.

Upon hearing this, Long Xin's pupils contracted, and he quickly looked at Di Xin's profile, hurriedly asking, "Is it Repair Worm? Are you sure?"

Upon hearing this name, Long Xuan completely lost his composure.

The Repair Worm is one of the top ten heaven-defying Spirit Insect, an existence on par with the Medicine Insect.

It even ranks higher than the Medicine Insect; the Repair Worm ranks fifth among the top ten extraordinary Spirit Insect.

As the name suggests, this thing can repair everything.

For example, if you break High-Grade Spirit Stone into pieces, the Repair Worm can repair all the pieces into High-Grade Spirit Stone. This is equivalent to the Repair Worm being able to conjure multiple High-Grade Spirit Stone out of thin air.

This ability is too overpowered; it's simply unbelievable and definitely at the rule level.

The reason for using High-Grade Spirit Stone as an example instead of Top-Grade Spirit Stone is that the Repair Worm is Spirit Insect, not Gu Insect, so its ability is limited. It can only repair things that are not very high-level, and it cannot repair things that are too powerful.

Furthermore, each time the Repair Worm repairs something, there is an extremely long cooldown period.

But what if you created your own Gu Recipe with the Repair Worm as the main worm?

Once the Repair Worm transforms into Gu Insect, will its abilities become stronger, and will it be able to affect anything that defies the laws of nature?

With that thought in mind, Long Xuan could no longer sit still; his heart was pounding wildly.

The Repair Worm's abilities are absolutely overpowered in this world; it's absolutely necessary to research it into Gu Insect. He's determined to capture this Repair Worm no matter what.

Di Xin's lips curled into a smile. "Of course it's true! The Sky Island Ruins have been entered countless times, so why haven't all the mechanisms inside been completely destroyed? Isn't it all thanks to this little thing that it was repaired?"

"The letter said that the reason why the puppets inside the Sky Island Ruins are impossible to kill is because of this Repair Worm."

"Over countless millennia, the number of puppets inside has only increased with each killing, making each opening of the Sky Island Ruins more difficult and resulting in a growing death toll."

"It seems you're very interested in this Repair Worm. Do you want to research the Repair Worm Gu Recipe related to it?"

Di Xin looked into Long Xuan's eyes and smiled, "How about we make a deal? I'll tell you the hidden location of the Repair Worm in the ruins and help you catch it."

"But in exchange, you must help me retrieve something and join forces with me to kill someone."

"This person is the number one genius of the Gu Spirit Sect; he will definitely appear at the Sky Island Ruins."

"This man has committed countless evil deeds and heinous acts. Killing him would be a good deed for you."

Long Xuan nodded and readily agreed, "Alright! I love upholding justice and acting on behalf of Heaven. It's a deal!"

Long Xuan paused, then said, "Nie Qingcheng said that the ruins are full of Gu cultivators in the Marrow Cleansing Stage, and it's impossible for Gu cultivators above the Marrow Cleansing Stage to appear. With our two swords combined, we are enough to sweep them away. Who can be a match for us, this male and female duo?"

Long Xuan looked extremely confident.

Di Xin rolled her eyes at him, her brows furrowing slightly. Why did she always feel that the phrase "two swords combined" was a bit off? Unfortunately, she had no proof.

While the crew chatted on the deck, it got dark before they knew it. The crew left a few crew members to watch the ship and went into their cabins to prepare for sleep.

As the captain, it was naturally not his place to watch the ship, so he finally went to his bedroom on the third floor to prepare for sleep.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard a chorus of women's laughter coming from the corridor, with Ye Qingluan's voice being the loudest. He immediately felt as if he had entered a girls' dormitory, which made him a little uncomfortable.

He could only suppress the turmoil in his heart, go into his bedroom, take a shower in the bathroom, and then lie on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

He began to miss Long Ziyan. He wondered how long the ship would have to sail to escape the influence of the Boundary Pearl so that the two could reunite as soon as possible, and whether she had been anxious during his absence...

After a beautiful woman entered his heart, he finally smiled and drifted off to sleep.

For the next few months, Long Xuan handed over all matters concerning the ship to the first mate, and took no further responsibility himself.

He would lock himself in his bedroom every day and then devote himself to studying Mass Alchemy. He would only occasionally come out to the cafeteria to enjoy the delicious food prepared by the chef on the first floor.

Apart from that, he didn't do any work on the ship; he was more like a boss than anyone else.

The reason he devoted himself so tirelessly to studying Mass Alchemy was because he had come up with a novel idea.

The barrier of the Sky Island Ruins prevents Spiritual Sea Stage Gu cultivators from entering, but Yang Zhan has now fallen in cultivation level, so it's uncertain whether the barrier will be able to restrict him.

At this moment, Long Xuan had a mischievous idea. Could he let Yang Zhan infiltrate the ruins as a Gu cultivator in the Marrow Cleansing Stage, and then use the Icefire Twin Extremes Pill to restore his cultivation and turn him into a Gu cultivator in the Spiritual Sea Stage?

Long Xuan thought to himself with a sinister look.

At that time, Yang Zhan will be the only Spiritual Sea Stage Gu cultivator in the ruins. He will break the balance in the ruins and can kill whoever he wants. He can basically run rampant in the ruins, and no force can compete with his fleet.

This is like a wolf infiltrating a flock of sheep—it's invincible.

However, this matter could not be brought to light, and he was unsure whether explaining his breakthrough on the spot would be against the rules. Therefore, he decided to use this move as a trump card and would never give the Icefire Twin Extremes Pill to Yang Zhan in the ruins unless absolutely necessary.

In the event of a life-or-death situation, with the Icefire Twin Extremes Pill in his hand, Yang Zhan could become his trump card for turning the tide.

This must have happened when he was on the verge of death, at which point he wouldn't care about breaking the rules anymore.

Therefore, Long Xuan planned to research the Mass Alchemy before arriving at Sky Island and successfully refine the Icefire Twin Extremes Pill, thus adding another layer of insurance for his trip to Sky Island.
