The coastline resembled a mirage, and the flying boat continued its journey for another month, still suspended in the sky.

But the four of them weren't in a hurry at all.

"This should be the final test," Yaochi said casually.

The airship was moving in the opposite direction, but the four of them ignored it. Li Changzhou was in control of the airship, his mind only on the 'winner' and imagining the future of the four of them traveling through the universe.

Such ambition might lead to nothing.

But his determination was no less than that of those who wanted to build a grand empire.

Li Qianxia lay on the stern of the boat, legs crossed, munching on a fairy grape. Next to her was a small grill with poultry raised in the Honey Pot World on it.

The grapes were juicy and had a delicate texture, and the grilled meat was absolutely delicious. She ate to her heart's content.

"We've crossed several mountains, hey!" She popped a grape into her mouth.

"We've crossed several more rivers, ah~~" She took a sip of the nectar.

"Why are there so many demons and monsters? Monsters, eat my old Sun... I'll have a bite of grilled meat first!" She picked up a piece of beef directly from the charcoal fire with her hand.

After finishing eating, I rubbed my fingers in the Sea of ​​Secrets to wash away the grease.

The flying boat was surrounded by a dense swarm of strangely colored fish. Eating any one of them would give one a leap in physical fitness and make one invincible.

"Go away!" Li Qianxia waved her hand and threw away the red fish that had bitten her finger.

It wasn't an act; I genuinely didn't care.

What's your constitution? What's your bloodline? Is it fun to go boating with my older brother, Lanlan, and Sister Yao?

No, Li Qianxia didn't care about any of that.

She already has eternal life and eternal youth, and she can see the magnificent scenery for herself, so what attraction does the Sea of ​​Secrets hold for her?

This is Li Qianxia's own way.

On a smaller scale, it's about being lazy and pursuing personal happiness; on a larger scale, it's about yearning for freedom; and on a grander level, it's about pursuing carefree existence.

During this time, Yang Qinglan and Yaochi also realized the goals they wanted to pursue.

If the path to the fifth holy city is to become the 'victor,' none of them will be able to get through.

But if that's the case, then there's nothing we can do about it; we can't change our will just to be the 'winner'.

"I remembered the lyrics wrong." Yang Qinglan flipped through a book with her jade-like hands and casually said to Li Qianxia, ​​who was singing.

A master of the highest rank cannot forget the past, so the only reason for singing it wrong is that they misremembered it when they were trying to remember it.

"The song is called 'Walk Out a Broad and Wide Road to Heaven,' so why get hung up on the lyrics? It's enough to have the mood of this song in your heart; the lyrics don't matter." Li Qianxia swung her legs across her back, looking very carefree.

Yaochi smiled and said, "Qianxia has already understood."

“That’s right.” Li Qianxia instantly became proud. “If I were to go and retrieve the true scriptures, Mount Ling would be right at my feet, and Buddha himself would move the Great Thunder Temple to my doorstep.”

"No, I find it noisy." Li Changzhou, who lived in the same family as Li Qianxia, ​​was unhappy.

Then he laughed and said, "But it's good that Qianxia is relaxed. In Journey to the West, Tang Sanzang spent 14 years on his pilgrimage, while we only spent 4 years and 10 months. He went through 80 tribulations, while we only conquered 5 cities. Don't be in a hurry."

"If only it were as simple as Journey to the West," Yaochi said with a smile.

The Journey to the West may indeed be a test, but it is an undeniable fact that many monsters are the mounts of countless gods and Buddhas. Therefore, whether the Journey to the West is difficult or not is a matter of opinion.

Li Qianxia, ​​having eaten her fill, lay down with her hands behind her head: "The ship is heading back again."

She sighed and said, "It's a bit troublesome. I don't care whether I can become a saint or not, but it will affect us if others become saints."

"If I cannot become a saint, I will risk losing [Heaven's Will and Destiny] and use the 'Pseudo-Victorious State' to destroy the nine holy cities."

No sooner had Li Changzhou finished speaking than the flying boat ran aground on the shore with a thud.

The three of them were stunned for a moment.

Holding a book and dressed in an ancient-style blue robe, Yang Qinglan raised her jade-like face. A gentle breeze blew by, and a few strands of her black hair teased her as they landed on her face.

They were just on the vast ocean, and the airship was moving in the opposite direction of the coastline. How did it get stranded?

Li Qianxia jumped up and looked at the island in front of her.

The island is small, with only one pond. The water is colorful and shrouded in wisps of mist.

Upon closer inspection, the mist resembles endless runes.

Rather than a message, it was more like a flood of memories that appeared in the hearts of the four—this was the Mother's Source Pool, a reward from the fifth holy city.

It can transform one's body and improve one's physique, bloodline, and aptitude, but there is only one chance, and the amount of water in the pool is determined by the performance.

The fifth holy city does not prohibit players from forming teams, but whether or not they can pass this level depends mainly on the performance of the ship owner.

The rest of the passengers, as long as they don't make any major mistakes, will be able to get through this ordeal together.

When they finally reach the shore and are faced with this magical pool, what will they do?

Logically, the ship owner should have the majority, but would the others agree?

People in the same boat will naturally help each other, but once they're on shore and no longer in the same boat, their thoughts will definitely wander.

"Did we really pass the test?" Li Qianxia was somewhat dazed.

For the past seven months, they have been adrift at sea. They passed by Fog Shadow Island and saw that it contained the saint's top-secret chapters, incomplete sacred artifacts, and half-destroyed cosmic seeds.

I have seen the highest scriptures, which contain the secrets of the universe and are theoretically capable of reaching the "ultimate in the universe" in every aspect.

Speed ​​at the speed of light, a body made of the finest materials, and a will as deep as the underworld... when all these elements are combined to their fullest potential, one can achieve the ultimate goal of increasing strength by nine million times per second compared to the previous second.
