After entering the passage, the entrance behind them disappeared from their sight.
The ship sailed through the passageway, and some lights appeared ahead, which was roughly the direction of the exit. However, although the lights seemed close at hand, the actual distance was far more complicated than they appeared.
After sailing for some time, the ship began to rock violently. The people inside were thrown about for a moment, but fortunately, everyone was quite strong and managed to keep their balance.
However, some people couldn't help but complain: "What's going on? We've already paid so many spirit stones, and this still happened!"
"That's right. Maybe it would be easier for us to leave on our own. This ship is too big a target. A smaller flying artifact would be more maneuverable."
Everyone started discussing this matter.
Qi Zhiheng kept a close eye on the situation outside. Spatial rifts attacked one after another, but the stability of the passage was relatively solid, so the energy absorbed did not cause much damage to the spiritual artifact.
Qi Zhiheng was always careful and tried his best to avoid it the next time they met.
There were other flying magical artifacts around, and some of them even got ahead of Qi Zhiheng and his ship.
Before entering the passage, Qi Zhiheng had already explained the pros and cons. Even if you didn't hand over spirit stones, you could still come along, but your safety would not be guaranteed. So it was not surprising to see flying magical artifacts scattered around.
Just as the crew inside the ship were discussing whether it would be better to pilot their own flying magical artifacts, one of the flying magical artifacts that had gotten ahead of them suddenly seemed to have encountered some unseen monster, and a large piece of it was bitten off! The entire flying magical artifact was now missing a piece.
This silenced the people who had been discussing the matter so enthusiastically.
The Qi family members were located in a quiet area, which was separated from each other. In Yang Yitian's eyes, this was probably the difference between VIPs and ordinary members!
Everyone else was stuck in one area, finding a spot to sit down, and it was quite crowded. Their spot, however, was much more spacious, and there was even a bed to rest on.
After the ship had been traveling through the passage for two days, the Qi family decided to go out and check on the situation.
Yan Yu seemed somewhat out of it before boarding the ship! He originally thought the Qi family was just a small family under the protection of the Yuansheng Institute. When Qi Zhenhao expressed his desire to be with him, he was indeed moved, but he didn't understand what it meant.
Until he learned that the Qi family was leaving, Qi Zhenhao's actions undoubtedly gave up any chance of meeting the Qi family again in the future, and he devoted himself to being with him!
Holding Qi Zhenhao's hand, Yan Yu secretly resolved that she would never betray this affection in the future.
Only four people from the Qi family came out: Yan Yu and Qi Zhenhao, and only Yang Yitian and Qi Zhenhe came out together.
The group walked around the Yuansheng Academy's camp to see if there was anything they could help with. Yang Yitian, being a member of the Yuansheng Academy, followed along.
Qi Zhiheng intends for them to be able to change their cultivation methods after entering the cultivation world, so there will definitely be exchanges between cultivation techniques later on.
Yang Yitian came ahead of time to give a heads-up and convey Qi Zhiheng's message.
Qi Zhiheng was focused on navigating the ship and didn't have time to come over.
After traveling for two days, most of the flying artifacts beside them were broken. Qi Zhiheng could not give a definite answer as to what would happen to these people in the end. After all, their ship had been traveling relatively smoothly, and apart from some shaking, there was almost no danger.
The people on the ship could no longer confidently say that paying so many spirit stones was a waste.
Yang Yitian and Qi Zhenhe were discussing cultivation techniques with the Dean of the Yuansheng Academy. Of course, this was just a heads-up; the rest would be discussed between the Dean of the Yuansheng Academy and Qi Zhiheng later.
The reason for bringing these things up now is to allow the Dean of the Source Academy to communicate with other forces first, so that the transition can be carried out after entering the cultivation world.
After the discussion, the head of the Gensei Institute first gathered the Gensei Institute members together for further discussion, while the Qi family members left to prepare to return home.
Yan Yu and Qi Zhenhao smiled at each other, holding each other's hands.
An untimely voice rang out: "Shameless!"
Yan Yu frowned upon hearing the voice; it sounded familiar. He turned around and saw the people in the circle—the Yan family.
The Yan family has a considerable foundation, so naturally some people came taking advantage of this opportunity. Yan Yu had heard about them before, but seeing them in person still made him feel a little uncomfortable. He didn't want to pay attention to what they were saying, but instead tightened his grip on Qi Zhenhao's hand, which was trying to break free.
"It's none of your business to comment on the Qi family. If you don't want to stay on the ship, you can take your spirit stones and get out." Qi Zhenhe has been the head of the Qi family for so many years, and he is still part of the Qi family. He will not allow these people to have any criticism of any member of the Qi family.
"You..." The person who had spoken earlier wanted to retort, but was stopped by the person next to him.
The man was clearly older and exuded the aura of a Spirit Venerable, presumably the current head of the Yan family: "Patriarch Qi, I am truly sorry, the children are just too ignorant."
"They are indeed quite ignorant. I hope the Spirit Lord will discipline them more to prevent them from being arrogant and causing trouble for the team in the cultivation world." Qi Zhenhe spoke without any politeness. His strength was more than enough to deal with a Spirit Lord. Even without using poison pills, he was confident that he could defeat them in a short time. Therefore, he had no fear of these people.
"I, Yan, will certainly discipline them strictly," the spirit of the Yan family apologized with a smile.
Qi Zhenhe didn't dwell on the matter and said to the three members of the Qi family, "Now that we've finished talking, let's go."
Watching the dead man's departing figure, Yan Heng clenched his fists in resentment.
The spirit master of the Yan family was named Yan Keyu. He looked at the younger generation of the Yan family and said coldly, "If you can't see your current status, then get off the ship!"
These idiots! He had already seen what those people were talking about with the Yuansheng Academy. At one point, the people from the Yuansheng Academy even started discussing things among themselves, presumably about issues related to arriving in the cultivation world. Offending the Qi family now was certainly not a good choice.
"I... what I said was wrong! He just wanted to climb the social ladder by getting involved with another man, didn't he? It's disgusting!" Yan Heng's tone was full of resentment. He and Yan Yu had always been somewhat competitive. Both of them were quite talented, but Yan Yu was chosen as the heir to the Yan family, so he was naturally dissatisfied.
The Yan family and the Lin family were to form a marriage alliance. Yan Yu disappeared midway through the process because the head of the Yan family declared that whoever married the eldest daughter of the Lin family would be the heir of the Yan family. In the end, the person who married the eldest daughter of the Lin family naturally became Yan Heng.
However, when he had the chance to leave, he did not hesitate to leave. Miss Lin was naturally not qualified to follow him. As for Miss Lin's final outcome, he was about to leave, so why would he care about such things? Women are everywhere.
Yan Keyu looked at Yan Heng and said coldly, "It seems I've been too lenient with you. Don't think that just because you're my great-grandson I won't do anything to you."
The two were quite close. Yan Keyu didn't even bring her own son and grandson, but she did bring her great-grandson, which clearly indicated that the great-grandson was also extremely talented. The two were usually very close as well.
“Great-grandfather, I was just saying it; I wouldn’t really do anything to him.” Yan Heng finally softened his tone.
"You should be glad you were just talking. If you had actually done something, I probably would have thrown you out myself." Yan Keyu didn't want to block her own path for the sake of a great-grandson.
Yan Heng dared not speak again, and the rest of the Yan family members, seeing Yan Keyu's appearance, also dared not say anything more.
After five days of travel, the ship was almost devoid of any other flying magical artifacts. The people on board were still shaken and could not imagine the fate of those who had followed them.
Qi Zhiheng looked at the exit that was about to appear and transmitted his voice: "The exit is almost here. Everyone get ready and make sure nothing goes wrong."
As the light, which had remained constant, suddenly grew larger, everyone realized that Qi Zhiheng's words were true. Filled with anticipation for the future and a touch of fear of the unknown, many people subconsciously clenched their fists.
A blinding light pierced everyone's eyes, causing them to instinctively close them.
They opened their eyes only when the light outside gradually dimmed.
A violent tremor shook the ship, causing everyone inside to lose their balance. They instinctively grabbed onto something fixed in the surroundings to steady themselves.
The shock didn't last long before Qi Zhiheng's voice rang out: "We've arrived at the cultivation world."
Soon, everyone's most direct impression of the cultivation world became apparent. First, a large amount of rich spiritual energy flowed out from outside, and the cultivators immediately felt refreshed.
"You can disembark now! Everyone, get off." Qi Zhiheng looked at the stunned people and quickly ushered them off the ship.
Those who received the order disembarked from the spaceship. The spiritual energy outside became even more readily apparent.
As soon as someone stepped outside, they exclaimed, "Ah! It's Heavenly Grass!"
The Heavenly Grass is an extremely rare spiritual herb in the Xuanling Continent. It might take hundreds of years to find even one plant. They had only just arrived in the cultivation world and had already seen several plants!
This left the group of "countryside" cultivators wide-eyed. Qi Zhiheng was also somewhat surprised, but he didn't react much. After everyone on the ship disembarked, he put away his flying artifact.
The surrounding environment resembled a mountain range, and in the distance, one could vaguely discern that they were currently on an island.
It's just unknown whether there are any traces of humans on this island.
