Chapter 357: Chapter 160 Wealth Can Be Attained, Longevity Is Hard to Seek_3

Let us take a step back for now and wait for a new opportunity.

She then asked, "The lock to the Liubo Mountain Treasure Vault, didn’t you say it was extremely difficult to open?"

The old Taoist replied, "I have recently crafted the Purple Thunder Divine Fire Talisman. With the power of this talisman, perhaps we can forcefully break the Heartless Lock. However, forcibly breaking it will surely provoke the Divine Beasts beneath Liubo Mountain, which is detrimental for us retrieving the treasures inside. Therefore, we must borrow the Mistaken Heaven Fragrance from Heshan Tao."

"I mentioned it before, and I’ve already sent someone to get it."

"Then we shall make our move tomorrow."

...

...

Xu Qing handed the beautiful lady of the Sea Sand Gang, Madam Haisha, over to Su Lianqing for temporary custody. Currently, there’s nothing more important than retrieving the Xuantian Treasure Vault from Liubo Mountain; all other matters should be set aside.

He also waited for Feng Wu.

"Delay could lead to problems, let’s set out now," said Xu Qing, skipping the opportunity to be affectionate with his wife and speaking directly.

Feng Wu nodded; such important matters naturally required swift action.

They boarded their own ship, followed by the Navy of the Jinghai Guard.

Although they had just been through a great battle, since Xu Jieyuan summoned them and offered ample rewards, these naval soldiers were naturally willing to help.

The reason for the expedition was simple: to continue the eradication of pirates.

One should pursue the remaining bravado and strive to vanquish the fleeing enemy!

On the ship, Feng Wu clearly felt a chill of murderous intent in Xu Qing that wasn’t there before.

Surprised, she directly asked about it.

Xu Qing said, "To kill a person as if mowing down grass, one may start to disregard life; I’m currently in that process. But right now, there’s no chance to rest and readjust myself. Don’t worry, I’ll be mindful of this."

Feng Wu said, "Cultivation of Divine Soul is especially unpredictable. Once one falls into obsession, it is hard to break free, or one may indulge in reckless slaughter and fall deeper into it. I know my husband has a heaven-endowed talent, but the greater it is, the more one needs to control one’s state of mind. Power without self-control isn’t true strength."

Xu Qing said, "This expedition to the island is exactly when I am feeling most complacent. Aren’t you afraid to aggravate me by advising me like this?"

Feng Wu smiled, "I now regard you as my closest kin, hence I am willing to speak so. If you get angry and distance yourself from me, I will think of ways to make you feel better."

Xu Qing chuckled, "I thought you would ignore me."

Feng Wu replied, "Why would I ignore you? That’s not a solution. If the mountain won’t come to me, I must go to the mountain. Unless you are no longer the mountain I seek."

Xu Qing sighed, "Sometimes, I truly feel that wealth and prestige are insignificant. Yet, if one desires to transcend worldly affairs, one must possess the means to do so."

"Then let’s strive together." Feng Wu keenly perceived that Xu Qing harbored deeper worries, not about the Grand Secretary, not about threats from various fronts...

What could it be?

She was curious but didn’t ask as she realized that this might be a great secret of Xu Qing’s, one that he did not wish to share.

Why pursue it relentlessly then?

A sea breeze blew toward them, refreshing Xu Qing a lot as Divine Soul Power surged into the sea, creating waves that formed a gigantic hand in mid-air, which then plunged into the ocean.

Shortly, a white fish was caught by the giant hand of water in mid-air.

It struggled left and right but couldn’t escape the giant hand formed of seawater, as if an invisible force enveloped it.

Suddenly, the giant hand burst.

Transforming into sea rain.

The white fish in the water also fell back into the sea.

Feng Wu applauded, "My husband, your Divine Soul Power has grown substantially."

Xu Qing pondered, "This is nothing. I think, if I can control this fish, others can control me in the same manner. It’s best to have one’s fate in one’s own hands."

Fish in the water are very free, yet not truly free.

To achieve true freedom is the most difficult thing in the world, almost impossible.

Thinking of this, the goal of life seems so daunting, yet Xu Qing is full of motivation.

After an unknown length of time, Gao Gongyuan who boarded the ship to help Xu Qing and his wife find Liubo Mountain shouted, "Found it!"

Ahead, the sea fog gradually dispersed.

At the end of the vast horizon, a floating Immortal Mountain entered everyone’s sight.
