Qingli felt a familiar yet unfamiliar power gathering within his body. This power made him much stronger, as if he could even touch upon the subtle connections between heaven and earth.
The two did not stay in the city for long. The remnant soul of the Demon King was definitely still there, but it was not worth this piece. They could only search for it slowly and hope to find it all before the world evolved.
They first contacted the people at sea to find out where they were. After learning that they were still in the water, the two decided to go back to the water and return with them.
Ye Shang and Qing Li flew on their swords, which made them much faster than the people at sea. Even though it took them several days, it's worth noting that it took them at least a month or two just to get out of the sea.
It's only been a few days.
Previously, Qingli could use his superpowers to travel through the sky, but now it's even more convenient. He hardly needs any superpowers; he can walk through the sky using only his own strength.
According to the sayings of the Xuan Tian Continent, how can a powerful figure conquer the sky with magical artifacts? Powerful figures rely on their own strength to soar through the air, and even freely use spatial power is the standard for powerful figures.
Those at the Nascent Soul stage or above can basically teleport instantly or shatter space; these are essential skills for cultivators.
Ye Shang was no exception. After being cleansed and refined by the Demon King using the power of heaven and earth, she officially became one of the geniuses. She was able to master spatial abilities even in the Xuan Tian Continent during the Golden Core stage.
Of course, this is what everyone thinks, and even Ye Shang herself thinks so, which is why she has always had a strange fondness for the Demon King.
In the cultivation world, this is almost equivalent to a life-saving grace.
Ye Shang often appears cold and indifferent, but she has always had her own principles, such as protecting Huaguo and the base as always, and even considering the war in the future.
Her wish is for peace and tranquility throughout the world.
This was a hope that had always been hidden deep within her heart.
After the two returned to the ship, Chen Zui was the first to run out and hug Ye Shang's leg: "Sister, where have you been? You've been gone for so many days?"
He Shengyou quickly transformed into human form and ran over from behind: "Hehe, Captain."
Ye Shang steadied himself and said, "We've gone to an ancient city on the outskirts of the Flower Kingdom in the southeast."
Chen Zui looked at her but didn't ask what she was going to do or why she was going. He was self-aware enough to know that his sister had her own ideas and decisions.
He released Ye Shang's leg: "Sister, the captain said that we still have about a month before we reach the shore."
Qingli chuckled softly, "Tired of sitting on the boat?"
Chen touched his little bottom with embarrassment; he had been sitting on the sea for a while and it was getting a bit sore.
Qingli shook her head and took out some small toys from her spatial storage for him: "When we pass by a larger island, we can go up and rest for a while."
Ye Shang had the same idea. They did spend a few days on land. These people were constantly at sea, and they basically had no intention of going ashore on the return journey, unlike the outbound journey where they could at least occasionally go ashore for some fresh air.
"Yes, go and tell the captain."
"Okay, thank you, brother-in-law." Chen Zui, holding the toy in his hands, led He Shengyou and said, "Let's go find the captain."
Meng Qiulan has been getting quite close to Song Wenwen lately, and the two get along quite well. There's also Zhuo Xia, who is both capable and has a good personality.
The three girls often hung out together, chatting, eating, or listening to Meng Qiulan brag.
Upon hearing that Ye Shang and the other person had returned, they rushed over to greet them immediately, after all, they were their superiors and creditors.
Liang You and Chang Lin got along well and would occasionally chat about things they had encountered. Chang Lin would talk about the base, while Liang You would mostly talk about things that the hidden families could disclose to the public.
This made Chang Shi keep thinking that he really wanted to go and see, or learn, this so-called esoteric method.
Liang You was quite generous and actually taught Chang Lin two simple mystical techniques. However, since he hadn't cultivated his Qi, he couldn't use the mystical techniques. But at least he could mobilize his supernatural abilities, though they could only be manifested externally.
At first, he would marvel at how superhumans were like bugs among the new generation of humans in the new century, and he was even a little envious. But later, when he saw that he could only pretend to be a superhuman and couldn't actually cultivate it, he stopped being envious and even pretended to comfort him, saying that it was nothing and that it was a small matter.
The group huddled together on the deck, creating quite a lively scene, with everyone chiming in.
Because they were at sea, Qingli was not subject to many restrictions, and Ye Shang was even less so, basically not caring how they lived.
With everyone talking at once, Ye Shang felt a bit of a headache. "If there's nothing else, I'll go and rest first."
Song Wenwen wanted to ask which island we would disembark and rest on, but seeing that Captain Ye looked exhausted, she could only smile gently and say, "Okay, Captain, get some rest."
About an hour later, Qingli had been discussing one question after another with them and had answered quite a few. He was feeling a bit thirsty and hadn't had any water. Turning around and not seeing Ye Shang, he asked, "Where's your Captain Ye?"
While Song Wenwen was talking to her friends, she heard his question and replied, "I've already gone back to my room to rest."
Qingli responded, "Okay."
After a short while, he left Liang You and the other man, saying, "If you're alright, I'm going to rest too."
These two are usually unremarkable. How come Chang Lin, who is usually steady, reliable and quiet, has become so talkative this time? Liang You didn't seem like a talkative person either. It's only been a few days, but the two of them are getting along so well. Could it be that two negatives make a positive?
Chang Lin also suppressed what he wanted to say, "Take care, Captain."
Qingli nodded slightly, left their sight, and returned to her cabin.
Seeing that Ye Shang had already washed and dressed, her wet hair hanging down to one side, and that she was holding a book titled "Strange Tales" in her hand, she realized that she had changed into a moon-white robe, which made her skin look even more radiant.
Qingli was momentarily stunned. He walked to the side, took a dry towel, sat down next to her, and gently gathered her long hair together. "It's grown a lot."
Ye Shang looked up at the strands of hair he was wiping: "Yeah, I haven't trimmed it."
Qingli suddenly asked a question, "Ah Shang, I've read in those miscellaneous books that cultivators know some minor spells?"
Ye Shang asked in confusion, "For example?"
While wiping her hair, Qingli said, "For example, changing into a different form, or some kind of cleansing technique, etc."
Ye Shang fell silent. She knew, but she couldn't cultivate. Even her Nascent Soul cultivation was achieved by converting various energies into her own Nascent Soul power, not by cultivating spiritual energy like she could in the Xuan Tian Continent.
