Originally, Wutan wanted to see if Princess Xue Lan really had ulterior motives. He suggested that Zhou Shu and the other two go with her, which would undoubtedly disrupt her plans. In this way, she would definitely be unhappy, and once unhappy, some emotions would be revealed in her expression.
However, nothing was found.
He really couldn't guess what this woman was thinking.
However, when Zhou Shu and the other two heard Wutan speaking for them, they couldn't help but feel a little favorable towards him.
After a while, Her Highness Xue Lan stood up and said, "In that case, let's do as Wu Tian said and everyone should go. But I want to make it clear in advance that we have no obligation to protect you."
"Haha, we are companions now. Wouldn't it be a bit too polite to say something like this?" Zhou Shu said with a smile.
"I think it's better to be polite." Ni Yeye sneered and glanced at Wu Tian, puzzled. Doesn't this guy always hate trouble? Why did he take the initiative to propose that these three dude boys join
You know, the three false gods following along can't help at all.
"Let's go!"
Princess Xue Lan glanced at Wutan, called out, and took the lead to break through the air.
"Brother Wu Tian, thank you very much."
Zhou Shu and the other two bowed to Wu Tian one by one to express their gratitude.
Wutan smiled as a response.
After the three of them left, Ni Yeye frowned and said, "This is not like your style."
"It's indeed a bit strange." Huangfu Mingzhu nodded.
“Sometimes we have no choice.”
Wutan smiled faintly and said such a meaningful sentence, then he followed the two of them, neither hurried nor slow.
Xinghai Peak.
"Why are you leaving so soon?"
Nie Qiuyu glanced at Wutan and others in front of him, his eyes full of surprise.
"Haha, we still have some things to deal with. We will come to Xinghai City to bother you again after we come back." Princess Xue Lan said with a smile.
"Okay then, be careful on your way." Nie Qiuyu reminded.
"Patriarch, and everyone else, goodbye."
Princess Xue Lan bowed and said goodbye to everyone, turned around and flew away, followed by Wutan and others.
"Farewell, Her Royal Highness Xue Lan."
Ancestor Hai Ling and others bowed to see him off, but for some reason, as Nie Qiuyu watched Wutan leave, she felt an inexplicable melancholy in her heart.
…
After entering the sea, Princess Xue Lan summoned Suzaku and reminded him to pay close attention to the movements on the sea below.
Because once the sea is not calm, there will inevitably be sea beasts roaming underneath.
Wu Tian, Ni Yeye, and Huangfu Mingzhu landed on Suzaku's back one after another, but when Zhou Shu and the other two were about to come up, they were rejected by Her Highness Xue Lan on the grounds that it was inconvenient.
The three of them couldn't help but look to Wutan for help, but Wutan shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was helpless.
With no other options, Zhou Shu could only summon his own pet, but to Wu Tian's surprise, his pet turned out to be a Bifang.
Bifang is an ancient vicious bird, ranked below the ten most powerful wild beasts, and belongs to the same level as Jade-faced Candle Dragon and Blood-eyed Kui Niu. It has a body like a crane, feathers as red as fire, a foot under its belly, and a white, sharp beak. There is no doubt that its beak can shatter the sky.
Moreover, he had no idea of the beast's cultivation level.
"Are you interested in joining us?"
After the three of them landed on Bifang's back one after another, Zhou Shu extended an invitation to Wutan.
"Little Bird, let's go."
Before Wutan could answer, Princess Xue Lan gave an order, and the Vermillion Bird spread its wings, transformed into a divine rainbow and flew away into the sky. This change made Wutan laugh and cry.
Looking back, he had worried a lot about his current situation in the ancient continent, but he never expected that after coming to the heaven again, he would become a popular commodity. It must be said that this was really a trick of fate.
Ni Yeye asked, "Sister Xuelan, going to the Central Sea is no joke. Do you know the safe route?"
"Is there a safe route?" Wutan was surprised.
"You are really ignorant."
Ni Yeye looked at him with disdain and explained, "For countless years, the sages and predecessors of the heavens have headed to the central sea area one after another. Over time, they opened up a safe route. Although there are sea beasts on this route, it is undoubtedly much safer than other sea areas, and there is a human settlement every certain distance."
Upon hearing this, Wutan looked at Huangfu Mingzhu with a questioning look in his eyes.
Huangfu Mingzhu nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.
Princess Xuelan took out a map, looked at it carefully, and then took out a compass from her space bracelet to find the exact direction. After a moment, she said, "According to Xiaoque's speed, it will take a hundred years to reach the second station. During this hundred years, we will be divided into two groups, each on duty for fifty years."
Huangfu Mingzhu said: "I am in a group with Wu Tian."
Ni Yeye pouted and said, "In this case, I can only be in the same group with Sister Xuelan, right?"
"What? Do you feel aggrieved to be in the same group with me?" Princess Xue Lan frowned.
"No, no, absolutely not. It's my honor to be in the same group with Sister Xuelan." Ni Yeye laughed, obviously insincere.
Princess Xuelan rolled her eyes at him, but with a hint of smile on her lips, she looked at Wu Tian and the other man and said, "The little bastard and I will be on duty first, you two can take this opportunity to have a good rest."
They both nodded.
After pondering for a while, Wu Tian asked in confusion: "The next one is the second station, so where is the first station?"
Huangfu Mingzhu said: "The first place to stay is Xinghai City, but since this is just the edge of the Sea of Stars, it is not very dangerous, so most people will not stay here."
"I see."
Wu Tian suddenly realized, and asked: "What ability does this Sea Spirit Clan have that deserves the attention of the Heavenly Emperor, the Demon Lord, and the Chief Pavilion Master?"
Huangfu Mingzhu shook his head and said, "I don't know the details very well, I just know that the Sea Spirits have a natural magical power that can play a key role on the battlefield."
"Innate magical power?"
Wutan frowned. The so-called innate magical powers are those that are born with one's nature, just like Han Tian's innate five elements holy body. Relatively speaking, they are more powerful than other magical powers.
But why have I never heard Nie Meixue talk about it in the decades I have been with her? Is it possible that the Sea Spirits' innate magical powers are a taboo that cannot be publicized
After thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure it out, so Wu Tian simply let it go for the time being and said with a smile: "I'm going to the Star Realm for retreat, what about you?"
Huangfu Mingzhu asked, "Can I go with you?"
"certainly."
Wu Tian smiled.
Ni Yeye said without turning his head: "I'm telling you, I have no objection to you going to the Star Realm, but if something unexpected happens, you must come out to help as soon as possible."
The little guy poked his head out from Her Highness Xue Lan's arms and said unhappily, "Little Yezi, isn't Master Frog still here? What are you worried about?"
Wutan smiled and took Huangfu Mingzhu to the Star Realm.
At the same time, Xiao Wuhao controlled the starry world and drilled into the feathers of Suzaku. In this way, the starry world could move with Suzaku, and everyone would not lose contact.
"Just practice here and don't run around. Little Wuhao is very fierce." Wutan glanced at little Wuhao beside him and whispered to Huangfu Mingzhu.
"What about you?" Huangfu Mingzhu asked.
"I want to go somewhere else. It's dangerous there and not suitable for you." Wutan said with a faint smile.
Huangfu Mingzhu couldn't help feeling disappointed, but nodded.
"Xiao Wuhao, come with me." Wutan said, then turned and flew towards the sealed space.
"Don't move without my permission." Xiao Wuhao looked at Huangfu Mingzhu and gave her an instruction, then followed her.
In the sealed space, Han Tian and Shishi are still in seclusion.
As for Di Tian and Yetian, they had already become gods on their way to Xinghai City, and are now practicing in seclusion in the elemental spirit veins.
Xiao Wuhao asked: "What did you ask me to do?"
Wu Tian said: "I used to have the power of thunder and the power of fire, but now they are all used up. Can you give me some advice on what I should practice with so that I can improve my cultivation as quickly as possible?"
In the current cultivation environment of the Star Realm, it can be said that one year of cultivation is equivalent to a hundred years of cultivation outside.
But despite this, Wu Tian was still not satisfied.
This has become a big problem.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Wuhao said: "Then refine the ultimate divine power."
Wu Tian rolled his eyes and said, "Don't joke, I want to use the ultimate divine power to temper my soul."
"Okay, I'll show you two ways. First, find a god who has experienced nine or ten tribulations and ask him to give you divine power. Second, find a heavenly tribulation. For physical cultivators, heavenly tribulation is the best energy to temper the body and improve strength. If you can't do that, you can only absorb the elemental energy and essence of the star world."
After a pause, Xiao Wuhao continued, "In fact, you should be content. Think about it yourself. How long has it been since you started practicing? It's no more than five thousand years. Let's assume it's five thousand years. How many people can become gods in five thousand years? Go and ask, how many there are in the world today? I'm afraid you can even count them on one hand."
Wu Tian said: "It's too many to count. Look, besides me, there are Han Tian, Di Tian, Ye Tian, Shi Shi, Tian Gang, Long Hu, Li Tian, plus Ni Ye Ye, Huang Fu Ming Zhu, and other unknown people. I can't count them with two hands."
"roll!"
This was the truth, but Xiao Wuhao thought that Wutan was playing a trick on him, which made him extremely annoyed. He roared and turned away.
Looking at the angry little figure, Wutan could not help but smile bitterly.
"It seems that there is no other way for the time being. We can only take one step at a time."
After letting out a long breath, he sat cross-legged, absorbing the elemental energy and essence of the starry world through the Tongtian Divine Tree, and using his ultimate divine power to temper his soul.
The amount of ultimate divine power is still huge. If nothing unexpected happens and if it is not wasted, it should not be a problem to refine the soul to the tenth level.
When I was in seclusion, time passed very quickly and before I knew it, fifty years had gone by.
As expected by Wu Tian, after fifty years of practice, his soul power finally reached the third level, which was basically equal to his combat power.
However, when he opened his eyes, he found that Shishi was gone. After walking out of the sealed space, he asked Xiao Wuhao and found out that Shishi had become a god ten years ago and was now in seclusion in the light element vein.
