My carefree life in space

Chapter 238 A Pillow for a Sleepyhead

Seeing Mo Ze by Lin Shushu's side, Master Yan Hua was somewhat surprised, but he didn't say anything.

Lin Shushu couldn't ignore it, and she solemnly introduced Mo Ze's identity to Master Yan Hua.

"This is Mo Ze, my fiancé. We are always inseparable. Please don't be offended that we came together without permission."

Master Yan Hua was slightly taken aback. Her fiancé? This fellow Daoist Lin was quite young; she hadn't expected them to be engaged so early. It was extremely rare for cultivators, who were devoted to the Dao, to be engaged so early.

It was an accident, but not something he should take to heart.

"It's alright. Since you've been invited, you can certainly have someone accompany you." With that, he led them to the plaza, where the Flame Sun Sect's flying boat was parked.

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze looked over and saw that the flying boat had a streamlined shape, and its hull was made of a strange material that shimmered with a metallic luster, with exquisite runes and patterns carved on it. The bow was raised high, like a phoenix spreading its wings, lifelike.

Seeing that the two were interested in the flying boat, True Person Yan Hua introduced it to them: "This flying boat was made by our sect elders using many rare materials. It only requires a high-grade spirit crystal to fly continuously for several months. The hull is equipped with a powerful defensive array that can withstand a full-force attack from a Nascent Soul stage expert."

Once aboard the flying boat, the interior is spacious and divided into several areas, including a rest area, a training room, and a storage room.

Mo Ze's eyes were filled with amazement. He could also refine artifacts, but this was the first time he had ever seen a flying boat like this, let alone crafted one. It seemed he could study it more in the future.

Yanyang Town is located at the foot of the Yanyang Mountains. Although the Yanyang Mountains are very large, with the flying boat, they quickly arrived at the Yanyang Sect halfway up the mountain.

"Fellow Daoists, please! The sect leader is already waiting inside the sect."

After disembarking from the flying boat, Master Yan Hua led the two directly to the main peak of the Yan Yang Mountains, to the place where the sect leaders held their meetings.

Although he already knew that the one who stopped Xuancang Daoist from self-destructing was a young woman, Yanling Zhenren was still quite surprised when he actually saw her. She was too young, only in her early twenties. There was such a heaven-defying existence in the world!

In the council hall, besides Yan Ling, the leader of the Yan Yang Sect, there were also leaders of other sects. After listening to Yan Hua's introduction, Lin Shushu's eyes flashed with doubt. This was quite a big entourage. What was their purpose in inviting her here?

At this moment, Master Yanling spoke with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you must be very curious about the purpose of our invitation. Don't worry, we have no ill intentions, we just want to ask you for a favor."

"I wonder how I can help you?" Lin Shushu was quite surprised. She had only been in the cultivation world for a short time, yet she had already been invited to her door so politely by people from these major sects. Although her strength was not bad at the moment, the major sects were not lacking in powerful individuals.

"Here's the thing, we'd like to borrow the magical artifact you used in the ancient ruins. If we're not mistaken, your artifact is called the Star Mirror!"

Upon hearing Yan Ling Zhenren's words, Lin Shushu's expression changed. What did they mean by that?

"Don't misunderstand, we don't want to take your magical artifact. We just hope that you can lend us a hand when we need it."

Lin Shushu's expression softened. If they resorted to force, she wasn't confident she could escape unscathed with Mo Ze, as it would inevitably expose the space.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you are now at the Nascent Soul stage. Do you know what lies beyond that?"

Lin Shushu certainly knew that after the Nascent Soul stage came the Void Refining stage, Body Integration stage, and Mahayana stage... It was impossible for these people in front of her not to know, so why would True Person Yanling ask such a question?

As Lin Shushu listened, she learned why they had come to find her.

It turns out that for ten thousand years, no one on the Yan Yang Continent has been able to break through to the Void Refinement stage. The people in this room have been waiting for the Nascent Soul stage for a long time. They have been desperately seeking a way to break through, but unfortunately, no one has been able to succeed.

Later, some people thought that perhaps the Yan Yang Continent had rules that restricted power beyond the Nascent Soul stage, which was why no one could succeed.

To verify this hypothesis, they decided to visit other continents, but the three continents were not connected, so they could not go to them even if they wanted to.

Until more than 20 years ago, someone discovered an ancient book in a secret realm. It recorded that the Azure Cloud Continent, the Profound Heaven Continent, and the Flame Sun Continent were originally one entity inhabited by various races. Later, a great war broke out between gods and demons, and the three continents were forced to separate.

The Azure Cloud Continent and the Profound Heaven Continent were the regions richest in spiritual energy and resources at the time. After the great war, the strong went there, while those with weaker strength remained on the Flame Sun Continent.

Although these records don't match the conjecture, one thing is clear: the other two continents are indeed more advanced and more desirable than the Yan Yang Continent.

The ancient texts also say that there is actually a teleportation array between the three continents, but it can only be activated by collecting three ancient artifacts: the Qiankun Cauldron, the Hunyuan Pearl, and the Star Mirror.

The Qiankun Cauldron contains the power of heaven and earth, and it primarily provides the enormous energy needed to activate the teleportation array. Without the energy provided by the Qiankun Cauldron, the teleportation array will be unable to activate, or it will be interrupted during the teleportation process due to insufficient energy.

The Chaos Pearl contains chaotic power, which stabilizes space and protects the teleporter. When the teleportation array is activated, it releases chaotic energy, forming a protective barrier around the teleportation channel to prevent interference and attacks from external spatial forces during the teleportation process.

The Star Mirror possesses the magical ability to communicate with the power of the stars, capturing and guiding their energy. Users can establish contact with distant stars through the Star Mirror, using their power to activate the spatial channels of teleportation arrays, enabling them to traverse endless distances and transport people or objects to designated locations.

The Qiankun Cauldron is the treasure of the Yanyang Sect, the Hunyuan Pearl is the guardian artifact of the Tianyuan Sect, and the Star Mirror had been missing until Lin Shushu appeared.

After listening to Master Yanling's account, Lin Shushu couldn't help but sigh, "Isn't this just like a pillow sent to someone who's sleepy? It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you without any effort!"

She sighed inwardly, not giving a timely response. Master Yanling thought she disagreed and could only continue to persuade her.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, now that you have reached the Nascent Soul stage, don't you want to go to a higher continent and pursue a higher level of cultivation?"

Lin Shushu smiled, and instead of answering, she asked, "Sect Leader Yan Ling, do you know why I want to borrow your sect's collection of books?"

Master Yanling recalled Master Yanhua's words. He didn't know why Lin Shushu would bring this up, but if she agreed to help, he would gladly offer her the books she wanted.

He was about to agree when he heard what Lin Shushu said next.

"It's quite a coincidence. I wanted to borrow your sect's collection of books in order to find clues to the way to the Azure Cloud Continent."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned. They exchanged bewildered glances, followed by surprise. Had they heard correctly? Had their goal been achieved so easily? They had expected to have to put in a lot of effort; things had gone so smoothly.
