The pirates didn't come after them. The next few days were peaceful.
Lu Li asked Ming Yu and Yu Huashen to steer the Iron-armored Ship closer to the shore. They were almost flying close to the shore.
This might expose their whereabouts but it was safer.
Lu Li didn't care about their whereabouts. If the Lu Family wanted to hunt them down, they would go to the Northern Desert sooner or later. Hiding was pointless.
Two days later, the door of the cabin was opened. Lu Li sat by the door and looked in at once.
Lu Feixue was glowing. His eyes glowed as he shouted, "Aunt, you have made the breakthrough?"
"Yes!"
Lu Feixue's eyes were filled with smiles. She was beautiful. Her smile made Ming Yu and Yu Huashen dazed. She said, "You have all the Mystical Materials and you have the Rising Dragon Grass. I am talented so I am lucky to have made the breakthrough."
"Congratulations, aunt!"
Lu Li stood up, grabbed Lu Feixue's hands and said, "Aunt, you have the King Kong Bloodline. I don't think Noble Lord Realm warriors can hurt you now, right?"
"More or less!"
Lu Feixue nodded and said, "My Mystic Armor is at the sixth level. Only warriors at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm with powerful Profound Meaning can break my Mystic Armor."
Almost all disciples of the immediate Lu Family could awaken the King Kong Bloodline. Lu Feixue's Mystic Armor was at the sixth level. Naturally, it was strong.
Lu Li was reassured. At least, nobody could hurt Lu Feixue unless they ran into Human Sovereign Realm warriors.
"I have just made the breakthrough and my realm is not stable yet. I need to cultivate for a while."
Lu Feixue didn't say much. She patted Lu Li's shoulder and said, "You don't have to protect me. Thank you for your hard work."
"Not at all!"
Lu Li grinned and watched Lu Feixue go back. He stood outside the cabin for a while and then went back to his own cabin.
Finally, he could have a good sleep after so many days.
…
Since Lu Li and the others were flying along the coast, they didn't run into any more bandits along the way. But they did run into Iron-armored Ships.
Those Iron-armored Ships belonged to forces of various sizes. Lu Li and the others avoided them without any conflicts.
Lu Li had been in closed-door cultivation and so Ming Yu and the others took turns. Lu Feixue never came out.
She had just broken through, and she urgently needed to stabilize her cultivation level and understand the power of her Heavenly Jewels.
A month and a half had passed, and no one knew how far they had traveled. According to the map and the scouting they had done along the way, they should be able to reach Floating Cloud City in about ten days.
Lu Li had finished cultivating!
After cultivating for such a long time, his Spirit Sea was full of Dark Energy and his Soul Pond was bigger. There was no more Blood Essence in his body. All of it had been absorbed.
"Fly slower!"
Lu Li told Yu Huashen and then released his Fate Wheel. He flew forward in a blur. Ming Yu walked out and looked at Yu Huashen. Both of them were shocked.
They had noticed the problem with Lu Li's Fate Wheel long ago. The Fate Wheel was too fast, almost as fast as a third or fourth-layered Fate Wheel.
"Swish —"
Lu Li controlled the Fate Wheel to fly around for a few times. He even glided the Fate Wheel in a weird way in the air for an hour before he came back with satisfaction.
Seeing the silver dragon pattern on Lu Li's Fate Wheel, Ming Yu and Yu Huashen were worried.
Did Lu Li's Fate Wheel … mutate?
Could he make more Fate Wheels?
Could he merge the Fate Wheels together?
Seeing that Lu Li was in a good mood, the two didn't say much. Lu Li noticed an island in the distance. He said, "We have been flying for a long time. How about we go down and take a rest and have some hot food?"
"Okay!"
Ming Yu and Yu Huashen had been living on the ship for more than a month and they had been eating nothing but dried food.
Lu Li knocked on the door and woke Lu Feixue up. She was in a good mood as well.
The four of them flew down to an uninhabited island and put away the Iron-armored Ship. Yu Huashen and Ming Yu split up. One of them collected firewood and the other caught beasts.
Lu Li cooked in person. He cut open the belly of a deer and some fish that Yu Huashen caught and started to grill the meat and fish.
Lu Feixue flew away by herself. She found a corner to clean herself up. When she came back after changing into a robe, Lu Li's grilled meat and fish were almost ready.
It was almost dusk after they had a good meal. However, there was no beautiful scenery. Instead, it was cloudy. It looked like it was going to rain.
Lu Li and the others didn't mind if it rained or not. They just had to get back on the ship later and continue on their way.
They had just finished their meal. The four of them sat on the grass to rest.
The wind was getting stronger. Their robes were fluttering and their hair was dancing. Lu Feixue frowned. She got up and was about to tell Lu Li to hurry on.
"Tornado!"
Ming Yu suddenly looked to the east and exclaimed. Everyone followed his gaze and saw a huge tornado wreaking havoc on the horizon.
The seawater nearby was stirred up as well. The waves were hitting the sky.
"There are people over there."
Yu Huashen had sharp eyes. He saw several small boats in the distance. They were swaying in the raging sea and could capsize at any time.
"Go and save them!"
Lu Li didn't think too much. He waved his hand and Ming Yu took out the Iron-armored Ship. They flew on.
Those small boats were clearly regular fishing boats. The people on the boats must be fishermen out at sea. In a tornado like this, the boats might be destroyed and the people on board would die.
Natural and man-made disasters were everywhere. Naturally, they couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
They flew over on the Iron-armored Ship. There were more than 20 fishermen on the boats.
Lu Li stood on the deck. He waved his hand and Ming Yu flew down. Lu Li himself didn't mind. After all, this was not a big deal.
He squinted at the huge tornado in the distance and was shocked.
The tornado was tens of thousands of feet high and had a radius of more than 1000 feet. The seawater under the tornado was swirling and the waves were thousands of feet high.
If the fishermen were involved, they would all be smashed into pieces.
"This is the power of heaven and earth!"
The wind was howling and the waves were hitting the sky. The tornado was raging. The reefs nearby were lifted up into the sky and then turned into dust …
Lu Li's heart skipped a beat as he watched on. His eyes became blurry and he was in a trance.
Ming Yu flew down quickly and then back up again. Every time, he could bring several people with him. In just a moment, more than dozens of fishermen were saved.
The fishermen were terrified. They were relieved after they boarded the Iron-armored Ship. They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank Ming Yu.
Ming Yu didn't say anything. He asked the fishermen to sit on the deck while Yu Huashen flew the Iron-armored Ship toward the land.
Lu Feixue and Lu Feixue went back to their cabins. Ming Yu saw Lu Li standing on the deck quietly by himself. Ming Yu walked over with a frown, only to see that Lu Li seemed to be thinking about something.
Ming Yu didn't dare to interrupt Lu Li's thoughts. He just stood there quietly.
The Iron-armored Ship flew away quickly but Lu Li didn't notice. He was still standing there like a fool.
It was not far from the land. In the time for several incense sticks to burn, they arrived. Ming Yu and the others flew down one by one and went back to Lu Li after they were all gone.
"Boom ~"
Right at that moment, there was a clap of thunder in the sky. A streak of white dragon-like thunderbolt pierced through the night sky and into the sea.
Lu Li was woken up by the explosion. He opened his eyes in a daze and looked into the distance at once. He didn't see the tornado.
