The fish were busy with preparations, and before long, they had completed all the work.

After receiving the report from Yan Lin, Gu Xi immediately began the next step.

"Ais, cast an ice shield over the entire ship!"

Ais nodded, then raised her hand, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy enveloped the entire ship, slowly forming a crystal-clear ice shield around the hull.

The ice shield was completely transparent and would not obstruct the view of anyone on the ship.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Xi ordered Octopus to set sail towards the Dark Cloud Wall.

The octopus skillfully maneuvered the boat, slowly moving forward through the giant waves.

The ship approached the wall of dark clouds, where the roar of thunder was deafening.

The ship plunged headlong into the wall of clouds, instantly enveloped in darkness. The light from the shark pearl appeared particularly dim within the wall of clouds.

Lightning raged all around, bolts of lightning seemed to shatter the ship into pieces, and the roar was so loud it almost ruptured eardrums.

Amidst the roar, the Future trembled slightly, swaying left and right, successfully triggering its protection system.

Gu Xi quickly gripped the gunwale tightly, staring intently ahead, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Everyone, be careful!"

Ais had a serious expression, her eyes warily scanning her surroundings.

Flame Scale lay beside Ais, muttering, "Whoosh! That's terrifying! It's like we're walking through lightning!"

The wall of dark clouds acted like a giant magnet, attracting lightning to strike the ship repeatedly.

A thick bolt of lightning struck the ice shield. The electric current did not dissipate after being hit; instead, it swirled around the ice shield, making a hissing sound, like countless angry silver snakes dancing on the ice shield.

Gu Xi stared in surprise, thankful that she had asked Ai Si to put an ice shield on the outside.

Ais remained calm, silently channeling some mental energy to strengthen the ice shield.

At this moment, the ice shield resembled a ball of lightning, its brilliance mirroring the original radiance of the Shark Pearl. In the darkness, the Future, like a bright pearl, drifted behind the thick clouds.

The howling wind swept backward, but the roaring sound continued.

As the bow of the Future entered the wall of dark clouds, everyone was instantly enveloped in a strange atmosphere.

In stark contrast to the raging thunderstorms outside, this place was calm and tranquil, like another world altogether.

The ship, which had been violently rocking in the raging wind and waves, was now sailing steadily on the mirror-like sea, its hull cutting through the water with only slight ripples.

The deafening thunder seemed to be blocked out by an invisible barrier, leaving only a deathly silence.

Flame Scale stared wide-eyed at his surroundings in disbelief.

Its soft gasp reached everyone's ears.

"Pfft! How is this possible? It's so turbulent outside, yet so peaceful inside."

Gu Xi was also astonished, her eyes scanning her surroundings warily.

"Everyone be careful."

The Future was sailing slowly.

Gu Xi tried to use his mental power, but found that it was still undetectable here.

She and the fish exchanged a glance, and she knew that their fate would be the same as hers.

"interference?!"

Previously, everyone had been wondering under what circumstances mental power could not be used.

Now, the same word appears in the minds of Gu Xi and the fish.

"Whoosh! It seems to be Tar's mental energy again."

Gu Xi nodded slightly, "However, how could Tar's mental energy appear in the area inside the dark clouds? I didn't notice it before!"

Ais's eyes darkened. "Puluru. We'll find out when we go take a look."

"It seems there's something here."

Since everyone's guesses were the same, and the mental energy detection was being interfered with, Gu Xi directly asked the octopus to speed up.
