Chapter 3146 Welcome 3 people to join
After listening to this, Lu Yun thought this method was feasible, so he nodded and agreed to join.
"Great!" Bei Yun said excitedly, "We have gathered 105 people, plus the three of you, it's exactly 108 people. Now we are just one step away. Three fellow Taoists, please follow me."
Bei Yun took Lu Yun and the other two and flew all the way to a beautiful lake.
More than a hundred Taoist gods have gathered here, gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing.
"Why are there so many people?" Lu Yun frowned slightly. The number of people seemed inconsistent with what Bei Yun said.
Beiyun was also a little surprised and was about to ask when a peak Taoist god with a powerful aura walked out from the crowd.
"Beiyun, you're back." The peak Taoist god spoke with a deep and powerful voice.
"Fellow Daoist Sibo," Bei Yun hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "This is Fellow Daoist Lu Yun and his two Daoist companions. They are interested in joining our team."
"Oh?" Sibo looked at Lu Yun and the other two and said, "Welcome to join us."
Bei Yun introduced to Lu Yun: "This fellow Daoist Si Bo is the organizer of our operation. It was he who provided the formation plate of the Heavenly Star Formation, which gave us a 90% chance of crossing the Sea of Despair."
Lu Yun bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist Sibo, nice to meet you."
As they were talking, a tall and charming woman came over, twisting her waist. She looked around and finally landed her eyes on Lu Yun and the other two. She said in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "Bei Yun, who are these three guys? We are already full."
"Fellow Daoist Wan'er," Bei Yun explained quickly, "these three are..."
"Don't explain," Wannv interrupted Beiyun, "I invited three other fellow Taoists to join us. The team is already full, so let them form another team."
Bei Yun wanted to try again: "Fellow Daoist Wan'er, there is strength in numbers. Even if the large team has a limited number of people, they can still help at the critical moment..."
"Help? Just them?"
Wannv looked up and down at Lu Yun and the other two, her eyes full of contempt, "One elementary Dao God, one middle Dao God, and another... Tsk tsk, I think they are not only unable to help us, but will drag us down. This Despair Star Sea is not a place for sightseeing. If we bring three burdens with us, aren't we courting death?"
Beiyun wanted to say something else, but Sibo raised his hand to stop him.
"Fellow Daoist Wan'er also has a point. The Despair Star Sea is full of crises. The cultivation of the three Daoists is indeed..."
Sibo's eyes swept over Lu Yun and the other two, and finally stopped at Yu Yini. After a slight pause, he continued, "However, there is strength in numbers. With three more fellow Taoists, we will have an extra layer of protection. If you don't mind, you can join as a reserve team. You can help at critical moments."
Wannv snorted and glared at Lu Yun and the other two with displeasure, but for Sibo's sake, she couldn't say anything else.
Bei Yun quickly tried to smooth things over: "Daoyou Lu Yun, do you think this is a good idea?"
Lu Yun's expression was calm, and he was not angry at all because of Wan'er's contempt. He smiled slightly and said, "That's great. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Sibo and Fellow Daoist Beiyun."
Seeing Lu Yun so straightforward, Bei Yun also breathed a sigh of relief.
He secretly sent a message to Lu Yun: "Daoyou Lu Yun, don't mind. Daoyou Wan'er is Daoyou Sibo's junior sister, and the relationship between them... you know. She has always been somewhat hostile to beautiful female cultivators, and now this hostility has probably shifted to Fairy Liu and Fairy Yu."
Lu Yun understood after hearing this.
I see. It seems the interpersonal relationships within this team are quite complicated.
Sibo simply introduced Lu Yun and the other two to everyone, but did not introduce other Taoist gods to Lu Yun.
Everyone looked at Lu Yun and the other two with different eyes, some curious, some scrutinizing, and some disdainful, but Lu Yun didn't care.
We all met by chance with only one purpose - to cross the sea of despair and then go our separate ways. Why bother about these false courtesies?
Sibo took out a palm-sized array plate, which was densely engraved with intricate patterns and emitted faint starlight.
He explained: "This is the formation plate of the Heavenly Star Formation. There are a total of 108 sub-formation plates. If each person controls one, they can activate the formation to resist the strong winds and spatial turbulence in the Sea of Despair."
After saying that, he distributed the 108 sub-array plates, but there was no portion for Lu Yun and the other two.
Lu Yun didn't care. He was happy to be free and could take this opportunity to continue to comprehend the third Lingxiao ancient painting.
After everyone refined the formation plate, Sibo asked them to swear a life oath, stipulating that they must not attack their teammates while crossing the Sea of Despair, otherwise they would die.
This oath was in line with the situation of this temporary team. For Lu Yun and the other two, there was no substantial restriction.
After taking the oath, the atmosphere in the team eased a lot, at least on the surface, everyone seemed to be much more harmonious.
"My fellow Taoists, please get on the flying boat!" Sibo took out a huge flying boat, which was emitting a bright and precious light all over. It was obvious at a glance that it was not an ordinary object.
Bei Yun introduced on the side: "This is Fellow Daoist Sibo's Void Flying Boat, a top-grade Heavenly Dao divine weapon, with extremely fast speed and amazing defense, enough to resist most of the dangers in the Sea of Despair."
Everyone boarded the flying boat, and Lu Yun and the other two also boarded the flying boat and found a corner to sit down.
Lu Yun sat cross-legged, his mind immersed in the third Lingxiao ancient painting.
In the painting, a butcher is holding a butcher knife and slaughtering a fat pig.
The butcher's movements were clean, quick, accurate and ruthless, without any delay.
Lu Yun watched the butcher's movements over and over again, and gained some insights.
Kendo is like a butcher slaughtering a pig. It must be quick, accurate and ruthless. One strike must kill without leaving any trouble. What is the essence of Kendo? Is it killing? Is it protecting? Or...
Lu Yun fell into deep thought.
The void flying boat broke through the air and flew towards the direction of the sea of despair.
Along the way, Sibo explained to everyone the situation of the Sea of Despair and the route they had chosen.
"The Sea of Despair, as the name suggests, is a star field filled with despair. Strong winds rage in it, space is turbulent, and countless dangerous star beasts lurk in it. If you are not careful, you will die..."
Lu Yun listened to Sibo's explanation and his heart moved. He had previously asked Taoist Master Taixu about the route to Dahong Sword Heaven, and Taoist Master Taixu gave several options, but they all had to pass through the Sea of Despair.
Taoist Master Taixu said that although this route is dangerous, it is a relatively safe route. Other routes are more dangerous for Taoist gods, so they are not marked on the star map.
It seems that even for the Taoist God, this Sea of Despair is an extremely dangerous place. No wonder Sibo and others had to gather 108 people before they dared to set out.
