As the sun set, a massive magic array suddenly appeared on the enormous cloud-piercing ship, as if a layer of light enveloped the entire ship.
Then, without any further sound, the enormous flying boat rose into the air and slowly flew south.
"Is this a protective shield?" Shen Yunhao asked, looking at the huge light array that enveloped the ship.
By this time, a number of people had gathered on the observation deck at the bow of the ship. Some people appeared relatively calm, while others, like Shen Yunhao, looked around and asked questions.
It's obvious that this is their first time on a boat.
The burly man beside him replied, "No, this formation mainly serves to avoid the wind and create illusions."
"Shadow Phantom?"
"Yes, such a colossal creature, though it travels thousands of feet in the air, can still be seen from the ground. This illusion technique is mainly to prevent mortals on the ground from seeing the flying boat!"
"I see! Such a large spaceship, didn't it have any defensive measures in place?"
"Of course there are, but the giant defensive array consumes too many spirit stones. The protection of this spaceship is all inside the cabin. As long as the passengers stay safely inside, nothing will happen!"
Shen Yunhao didn't ask any more questions, but continued to look at the scenery outside the boat.
Just then, the setting sun cast a crimson glow on the west, its light reflecting off the boat. Shen Yunhao felt as if he had never been so close to the sun before…
However, this beautiful scenery did not last long, and soon it became completely dark.
One by one, the people on the bow of the ship returned to their cabins.
Shen Yunhao originally wanted to stay here and look at the starry night sky, but when he looked up, it was pitch black and he couldn't even see the moon.
"It's too early now. You'll have to wait until late at night to see what you want to see!"
The man couldn't help but smile and remind Shen Yunhao as he looked around with his head held high.
After their casual conversation, Shen Yunhao learned that this person's name was Ma Tianyu, a rogue cultivator from the Desolate Continent who specializes in body tempering techniques and is now at the Profound Soul Realm.
"Brother Ma, judging from how much you know, you must have been out here for quite a while..."
At this point, Ma Tianyu smiled wryly: "It's been half a year already, and I don't even know how many times I've ridden this Lingxiao Flying Boat."
"Half a year! Brother Ma, haven't you already traveled to countless places in these six months?"
"It's alright. I've only been to Danzhou and Yunzhou. Now I'm planning to head to Zhongzhou to take a look!"
Zhongzhou is located in the central region of Tianji Continent, where the most powerful of the seven righteous sects, Taixuan Dao Sect and Cangqiong Sword Pavilion, are located.
"As the saying goes, 'Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.' Brother Ma has such ambition to travel the world, I truly admire you!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Tianyu, who was usually rough and unrestrained, blushed and scratched his head.
Seeing this, Shen Yunhao asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Brother Ma, is there something you're having trouble telling me?"
"Alright, alright, it's fine to tell you, brother. I've always been a libertine. Besides body cultivation, my greatest interest is beautiful women! So the reason I've traveled all over these mountains and rivers is actually for one purpose: to see all the beauties on the Nine Provinces' Spectrum of Beauty and see if they are really more beautiful than the beauties in my Desolate Continent!"
"!!!"
Shen Yunhao was dumbfounded and speechless with shock.
Good heavens, I can't believe I've met someone who shares my interests!
Shen Yunhao immediately became interested and covered his mouth to ask secretly, "Big brother, how many have you seen? What do you think? Is what the score says exaggerated?"
Ma Tianyu had expected to be ridiculed, but upon seeing Shen Yunhao's reaction, he understood almost instantly!
Damn it, I've met someone like me!
"Brother, let me tell you, the list on that list isn't an exaggeration, but when it comes to truly unparalleled beauties, it has to be those few mentioned earlier! You have no idea, I spent two months in Danzhou before I had the good fortune to meet the Pavilion Master of the Misty Pavilion, and it was truly indescribable!"
What kind of indescribable wonder?
Ma Tianyu made a round hand gesture: "The kind that's perfectly ripe!"
"Holy crap! Dude's awesome!"
Of course, while most people's aesthetic standards are roughly the same, there are still some differences in the details.
For example, Ma Tianyu likes familiar... cough cough, the kind that are mature and intellectual, like the Misty Pavilion Master Luo Yuchen, who must be at least several hundred or a thousand years old, so he is really as familiar as can be.
But Shen Yunhao, after all, still has a relatively young mindset, so he leans more towards the demon... cough cough, the kind that's youthful and lively.
For example, the ethereal Ning Yuyao and the femme fatale Mu Shuangshuang.
Despite being the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, Shen Yunhao still very much wanted to meet her in person if given the chance…
It was getting late, and the two, who felt like they had known each other for ages, didn't chat on the deck for too long. Instead, they went back to their cabin together.
Upon arriving at their accommodation, they discovered that their rooms were separated by only a corridor.
One can only marvel at the wonder of fate...
"Brother, of the forty-two beauties recorded in the Jiangshan Juese Chronicle, I've already seen nearly half of the rest, excluding those from the Demon Sect and the Demon Race!"
As he returned to his room, Ma Tianyu couldn't help but sigh, "I have to admit, Yunzhou and Danzhou are truly blessed with outstanding people and beautiful women, unlike our desolate continent... sigh, it's hard to put into words!"
In response, Shen Yunhao could only offer a forced smile and said nothing.
But after returning to his room, Shen Yunhao scratched his head: "Strange, isn't there only forty-one people on this list of auspicious characters? Where did forty-two come from? Could it be that Brother Ma is confused?"
Shen Yunhao didn't think much of it and went straight to bed since he didn't need to cultivate for the time being.
