Li Changzhou, Yang Qinglan, and Yaochi turned off their live streams, while Li Qianxia roamed between various live streamer platforms.
"Wow, so many tips! Lanlan, if you started a live stream, the power of faith would probably explode!" she said as she watched.
Of course, she was talking to herself, because no one paid any attention to her.
“The sage left behind the ‘Mysterious Art of Creation or Nirvana’ here, which suggests that he visited the womb of Heaven and Earth,” Li Changzhou said.
"What does 'when the melon is ripe, it falls from the vine' truly mean?" Yaochi pondered.
Li Qianxia casually guessed, "Does it mean obtaining enough hidden power?"
Yang Qinglan slowly shook his head, thinking as he said, "The 'ship' of the fourth city must be the key to passing through the fifth city."
Li Changzhou thought of his own ship.
"The body is the boat, ideals are the compass, and effort is the sail... I have a guess."
The three of them looked at him.
Three faces: delicate, bright, and charming.
"When the melon is ripe, it falls from the vine" means that when the conditions or timing are right, things will naturally succeed. For a baby to be born from the mother's womb, there are two conditions: first, physical maturity; second, consciousness.
"But this is the womb of heaven and earth, the secret sea, not an ordinary woman giving birth. The conditions need to be slightly changed—first, the boat must meet the requirements; second, the will must be firm, that is, the Dao heart must not be swayed."
Li Qianxia pondered for a moment, then subconsciously said, "Then we're guaranteed to pass?"
“This is just a guess based on what the Buddha said,” Yang Qinglan said. “Where did those people go? What role do the fish of Fog Shadow Island and the Secret Sea play? These are all still unclear.”
Yaochi added: "How do we determine if a boat 'meets the standard'? How do we determine if a person's will is firm? Do we need to be tested? We don't know the answers to these questions either."
“Regardless, we should set off,” Li Changzhou said. “We can’t stop because of danger, otherwise even if we pass the fifth city and reach the sixth city, we’ll be waiting for the people who entered the seventh city to give us information.”
Even Yaochi, who insisted that "living is the most important thing," nodded in agreement.
She insisted that "living is the most important thing" in order to become a "winner," not because she was truly afraid of death.
No matter how important it is to be alive, we cannot back down from difficulties, sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, or lose our fighting spirit.
“Let’s go!” Li Changzhou said.
The primordial tree transformed into a flying boat, hovering in front of the four.
When Li Qianxia went up, she said, "The Primordial Divine Tree is your true form, brother. Are we stepping on you like this?"
"I'll face a thousand pointing fingers with a cold eye, but I'll bow my head and serve my sister like an ox." Li Changzhou boarded the flying boat.
"Hahaha!" Li Qianxia laughed like a little fool.
Yang Qinglan smiled and pursed her lips. She interpreted the "meizi" in "bowing down to serve the girls" as "girls" rather than specifically referring to Li Qianxia.
In her eyes, Li Changzhou's words meant she had to be a sycophant.
Yaochi had no interest in children's games like playing house.
The Heavenly Armor she wore completely covered her up, and the perfectly designed armor exuded a divine aura.
She raised her hand and shattered the void near the Chaos Dao Platform. Chaotic energy flowed into it, and even the chaotic humanoid figure disappeared.
She destroyed the relics of the saint.
"Fearing one's own poverty, and worrying about others' wealth." - Li Changzhou's comment.
This is bad retribution for what I just said about his poetry—if it can be considered poetry.
"Husband, who are you talking to?" A sweet, delicate voice came from beneath the sacred and majestic armor.
"He wasn't talking to anyone, he was just talking to himself."
The airship hovered and disappeared into the fourth city.
◇
Some say the fifth city is the Azure Sea, which is an emerald-green sea.
However, in the fifth city where Li Changzhou and his group of four were located, what they saw was more like the vast ocean, with blue sea stretching as far as the eye could see.
Li Changzhou's original flying boat could be large or small, and he kept it at a size that would not be a problem for four people to walk around in.
The lone lamp at the bow of the ship shone brightly, and even in broad daylight, it was still somewhat dazzling.
I could clearly feel the airship moving forward, but strangely, it left no waves behind me.
"How about we try fishing?" Li Qianxia asked excitedly.
Upon entering the Fifth Holy City, each participant will receive a fishing rod, which can be retrieved directly from their consciousness when needed.
"No rush." Li Changzhou looked towards the horizon.
There was an unusual little spot there.
"What's wrong?"
"Did you see anything?"
None of the three had eyesight as good as his.
"It could be a person, or it could be Fog Shadow Island." Li Changzhou thought about where to go, and the flying boat sped off in that direction.
A thought suddenly struck him.
Could this be related to strong willpower?
Ignore all the temptations of the fifth city and keep thinking about 'going to the sixth level', and the ship will head to the sixth level.
It's not that simple....
If that's the case, those terrified participants who just wanted to leave should have already reached the sixth level.
The flying boat hadn't gone far when Li Changzhou could see it clearly.
"It is a misty island."
Soon, the three of them could see it clearly.
It's a lonely island, and not a big one at all; it's probably only big enough for three or five people to stand on.
In the center of the island, there is a black mist shaped like an octopus, and inside the mist is a treasure chest.
“I feel like I’m playing an adventure game,” Li Qianxia said.
“It’s a value game,” Li Changzhou reminded her.
As the airship approached, the octopus-shaped black mist in the center of the island spoke like an NPC:
"One for you, one for me, we're betting on treasures. The winner takes all. Anyone who wants to come to the island, come on board."
