The secret realm of the Sanyu Treasure Ship is a boundless ocean with no end in sight.
Compared to the outside ocean, this secret place seems normal, but it actually has many strange things.
There was no sun in the sky, but it was as bright as day; there was no sea breeze around, but the ship was moving without wind.
Miss Shi was very happy. She ran around on the deck and took out her flying sword and wanted to fly it... Of course, flying the sword was prohibited in this secret realm.
Linghu Chu stood at the helm on the top deck, carefully inspecting the steering wheel structure.
Luo Yan quickly looked around and started calculating silently in his mind.
Every time the Sanyu Treasure Ship appears, the secret realm will only be open for three days.
From the time the secret realm was first opened to the time Yuqing Temple received the news and the Tiangongfang group arrived here, six hours had passed.
In other words, there are only two days and six hours left to explore the secret realm.
The surrounding sea was calm, without even the slightest tide or waves. The only thing that could be seen was the upper half of the island vaguely visible at the two o'clock position of the bow.
It appears to be a mountain range in the center of an island.
"Luo Yan?" Linghu Chu gestured and asked.
After comparing the shape features of the mountains with all the island information recorded in the Kunlun Mirror, Luo Yan slowly shook his head.
This means that the island is not on the map.
Linghu Chu's mind sank slightly, and he sighed:
"Then let's go."
Although there was an unfamiliar island ahead, there was nowhere else to go.
He turned the steering wheel and adjusted the direction of the ship to point directly towards the island in the distance.
At the same time, he spread out his spiritual awareness to monitor every move in the surrounding sea area.
Luo Yan was also observing his surroundings, but he was not as nervous as his senior brother.
Firstly, after all, he had the protection of his senior brother who had reached the great perfection of the Golden Core Realm this time; secondly, there was no Qiu Changtian or Ling Yunpo who appeared in front of him and said, "I came here this time to avert your death", so he could still remain calm.
Hey, where is my Miss Shi???
Luo Yan was shocked when he found that Shi Liuli disappeared for no reason.
Rushing into the cabin below the deck, Luo Yan found Miss Shi kneeling on a futon, and he heaved a sigh of relief.
What is this doing?
I saw three incense sticks lit in the incense burner on the table in front of Miss Shi.
Shi Liuli clasped his hands together, knelt on the cushion, and muttered to himself.
Listening carefully, she whispered a prayer: "God bless me to the next island, so that I can encounter a unique adventure that promotes marrow cleansing"...
Miss, if prayer is useful, then the only things that would be spread all over the world of cultivation now would not be the major sects, but religions, okay?
"Senior sister." Luo Yan barely suppressed the urge to laugh and asked with feigned curiosity, "What are you doing?"
Shi Liuli ignored him and just prayed silently before speaking:
"Don't make any noise, I'm using my power."
"Use power?" Luo Yan was stunned.
"I'm interfering with the luck and destiny of the next few days." Shi Liuli said lightly.
Luo Yan felt that he could no longer hold back his anger. He took half a minute to calm himself down before asking:
"Then what is the principle behind your metaphysics... no, your interference with fate?"
Shi Liuli tilted his head and thought seriously for a while, then said:
“This isn’t complicated to explain.”
She stood up gracefully, held the incense burner in her palm, raised her chin and said:
"First of all, this young lady is the one who is destined."
"Huh?" Luo Yan finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
"What are you laughing at!" Shi Liuli glared at him immediately.
"No, I didn't laugh." Luo Yan weakly defended himself, then asked, "What do you mean by destiny?"
"It means 'the one favored by God'." Shi Liuli said as a matter of course, "Look, I am your senior sister, pretty and smart, and I come from an orthodox sect, the daughter of an elder. Isn't this the most powerful proof?"
Luo Yan suddenly fell silent.
It seems... I'm speechless?
If you think about it carefully, if reincarnation is considered a kind of beginning, then Miss Shi's beginning is indeed perfect beyond compare.
Among the female monks he knew, the only one who could be compared to her was probably Xu Yinglian, who came from the Xu family of Tiannan.
But even Junior Sister Xu, while enjoying the benefits of a family of immortal cultivators, had to passively accept the arrangements of the clan and was forced to get engaged to Senior Brother Qiu Changtian... How could she be like Miss Shi, who only enjoyed benefits from childhood to adulthood and did not have to fulfill any obligations?
Seeing that he was speechless and acquiesced, Shi Liuli smiled smugly and continued:
"Having so many favorable conditions in one body is enough to prove that I am being noticed by the destiny of heaven."
"As long as I pray sincerely, God will surely hear my prayers and help me."
Luo Yan sighed in his heart: Okay, as long as you are happy.
Miss Shi put down the incense burner, touched the bag she was carrying, and said:
"Junior brother."
"What's wrong?"
"Lend me a high-quality spiritual stone, and I'll return it to you after we leave the secret realm."
"Oh." Luo Yan took out a top-grade spirit stone and handed it to Miss Shi.
According to Luo Yan's experience, top-grade spirit stones are equivalent to "hundred thousand yuan bills" in this world of cultivation. They are generally used for large-scale transactions, such as purchasing a sect's land, caves and other real estate.
Besides that, you can't buy anything in the market because people can't make change. So it's normal that Miss Shi didn't bring it with her.
Even so, Luo Yan believed that after Miss Shi returned, she would be able to take out as many high-quality spirit stones as she wanted without any effort, so he was very happy to lend them.
Shi Liuli took the spirit stone and left the cabin and went up to the deck.
Then, under Luo Yan's shocked gaze, she threw the top-grade spirit stone into the sea.
Luo Yan: ???
"This is a necessary price to pay." Shi Liuli turned around and explained, "Even when rolling dice, the probability of good luck and bad luck is similar."
"So, if I want to realize my wish, I must first pay the corresponding price, so that it complies with the requirements of heaven's destiny."
Luo Yan was already numb after hearing this. What kind of metaphysical method was this? It was too magical, wasn't it?
However, seeing Miss Shi's confident look, he began to have some doubts in his heart.
Considering that this world is not a world that follows scientific settings, what if the destiny of heaven that Miss Shi talked about really exists... Wait, it seems that the destiny of heaven does exist?
"Ah Jing, Ah Jing!" Thinking of this, Luo Yan quickly called out to the Kunlun Mirror in his heart, "Can Miss Shi's method really communicate with the destiny of heaven?"
"What are you thinking about?" Kunlun Jing was speechless and said unhappily, "Heaven's destiny doesn't recognize relatives, how can it be something we can communicate with?"
"Besides, even if it can really communicate, it must be extremely ruthless. Want to get something from it? Dream on!"
"That's right." Luo Yan patted his head, feeling that he was really bewitched by Miss Shi's lively behavior.
If the will of heaven really exists and is paying attention to Miss Shi's surroundings, I'm afraid it would kill me, the time thief who "borrowed A Jing to cheat", the first moment!
