First Volume: First Entering the Dao, Chapter 98: Encountering Calamity

Without much time, the three of them reached the place where the spaceship's cockpit was located.

Ye Junze stepped forward, saw the dense array of various instruments and levers in front of him, and felt a headache, his whole person somewhat dazed.

Rubbing his temples, Ye Junze shifted his gaze away and looked at Qi Yi, saying, "Should be here? How is it?"

Qi Yi, upon hearing this, moved his gaze from the instruments he had been examining earlier, raised his head, and looked at Ye Junze, saying, "It seems there shouldn't be any problems, but to know the specifics, one would need to personally operate them."

Ye Junze nodded and said, "Then let's try it out."

"Yes." Qi Yi responded, then looked at the instruments again. This time, unlike before, he was permitted by Ye Junze to personally operate them.

Wen Yu, seeing this, couldn't help but furrow her brows, looking extremely puzzled, similar to Ye Junze.

Ye Junze saw the little girl's appearance and couldn't help but smile and say, "What's wrong? Looking so worried."

Wen Yu, upon hearing this, raised her head to look at Ye Junze, stuck out her tongue, and said with a troubled expression, "Every time I see Qi-ge fiddling with these things, my head hurts. I can't see what's going on, and if I want to help, I can't. I don't know where he gets so much patience to mess with these things."

Qi Yi, who was continuously fiddling with something beside them, naturally heard Wen Yu's words. His face twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything, only his movements became faster.

Ye Junze, upon hearing this, chuckled lightly and said, "I didn't expect that we two are the same in this regard. When I saw these densely packed incomprehensible instruments earlier, I almost had a phobia of them. It felt like my head was spinning, and I could only say that everyone has their own specialties. However, you could learn from your brother to master some skills; it's always good to have more abilities."

After hearing what Ye Junze said at the beginning, Wen Yu first laughed foolishly, happy because she had something in common with him. But as Ye Junze continued, the little girl's face wrinkled again, looking like a small bitter melon.

Wen Yu said with a bitter face, "Then probably no chance. My brain is too stupid, unlike Qi-ge, who learns anything easily. Qi-ge even said I can focus on cultivation, and he's at ease."

Seeing the little girl with furrowed brows and a troubled face, which gave her an oddly cute feeling, Ye Junze inexplicably felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart.

He smiled and looked at Wen Yu, saying, "It's all your excuse for being lazy."

"Ya ya! Junze-ge! Breaking the fourth wall, continue to be good friends!" Wen Yu's cute little face instantly turned red, and she called out in a low voice.

Wen Yu's eyes turned, as if thinking of something, and said, "Junze-ge, don't just ask me, what about you? Can you cultivate to the Nascent Soul, you must be very smart, right?"

Ye Junze, upon hearing this, nodded seriously and answered somewhat jokingly, "Then you're right. I have no other advantages from childhood to adulthood, just that my brain is good and I'm smart enough."

"Hmph, you're really not modest. Then please, Junze-ge, tell us what the secret is to your cultivation to Nascent Soul at such a young age?" Wen Yu said, clenching her hand into a fist and placing it under Ye Junze's chin, like a reporter holding a microphone for an interview.

Ye Junze, seeing this, cooperated very well with the little girl. He cleared his throat, his expression immediately becoming solemn, and then said earnestly, "Hmph, my achievement of the Nascent Soul now is all thanks to my own intelligence and hard work every day, plus some unexpected good luck's help."

Although Ye Junze said it like that, in his heart he thought, "I shouldn't be saying anything wrong, right? It's indeed because of the help of Mengmeng's dream realm that I can reach this realm. Hmm, to tell the truth, I won't deceive anyone."

Wen Yu, hearing Ye Junze's answer, immediately made a face of admiration, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Ye Junze and said again, "Then, does Junze-ge have any conscience advice on cultivation to tell us these junior cultivators in the cultivation world?"

"Regarding this matter, I think it should be like this......" Ye Junze put on a serious face again, then began to expound upon it.

And Wen Yu was also very cooperative, nodding occasionally or interjecting questions at the right time. If someone didn't know, they might really think she was a professional reporter.

However, all of this on the spaceship was destined to be a news conference that no one would know about—excluding Qi Yi, of course.

Perhaps, it should also exclude Fang Lin, who was still observing Ye Junze's dream realm at this time.

I don't know if Fang Lin would mention this matter to anyone after it was over.

In any case, the big and small two completely ignored Qi Yi beside them and started fooling around with great interest.

Qi Yi noticed the situation beside him and helplessly shook his head. A bitter smile appeared on his face, thinking: Sister Yu fooling around is fine, but why does the senior like you still accompany her in fooling around, but it's good that the senior is taking care of Sister Yu instead of myself.

Qi Yi shook his head, not thinking about other things, and let the two of them fool around. As for himself, he continued to focus on operating the spaceship.

......

With the passage of time, Qi Yi became increasingly familiar with the operation of the entire spaceship.

Seeing him fiddling with something on his hand, the entire spaceship suddenly moved without warning.

And Ye Junze and Wen Yu, who were still playing, stopped upon sensing this movement. Their eyes showed confusion, as if curious about what had happened.

It was Ye Junze who reacted first, looking at Qi Yi and saying, "How is it, did it succeed?"

Qi Yi nodded and said, "No disgrace to the mission."

"Good job." Ye Junze couldn't help but praise him.

After all, if it were him, he might still be spinning in place for a long time.

"Hi hi, I knew Qi-ge was the best, it must be possible." Wen Yu smiled playfully and said confidently, as if she was the one who did it.

Qi Yi waved his hand, somewhat embarrassed, saying, "It's just that I happen to understand a bit, and the spaceship's operation mode isn't difficult either."

"It's still very good. At least I couldn't do it at all." Ye Junze said sincerely.

Qi Yi then didn't say more, changing the topic and saying, "Then, senior, shall we leave here?"

Ye Junze nodded upon hearing this and said, "Good, then trouble you."

Qi Yi shook his head and said seriously, "It's nothing big. Without the senior, we two wouldn't know what fate awaits us."

Ye Junze waved his hand and said, "Stop saying these things, you drive. We'll sit in the back."

"Yes, all according to the senior's orders." Qi Yi nodded, then looked at Wen Yu beside him and said, "Yu, you go with the senior to rest in the back, pay attention to protection."

Wen Yu nodded obediently and said, "Know it, Qi-ge, you just drive at ease, I'll take care of myself."

Qi Yi didn't say anything more, turned and sat on the nearby driver's seat.

Ye Junze, seeing this, said, "Alright, let's leave here first and not disturb your brother."

"Um um." Wen Yu nodded and responded.

With that, the two turned and left, sitting in the position behind the driver's seat.

Qi Yi noticed that the two had sat down safely and spoke out, "Senior, Yu, if you're ready, we will depart now."

"Um, good." Ye Junze responded.

Wen Yu's little face was filled with joy as she shouted loudly, "Yay, great! Finally can go home!"

Qi Yi smiled and didn't say much more, shook his head, and started the spaceship.

"Yeah, finally can go home. The things that happened this time out were really unexpected."

"Whoo~ " With the roar of the engine, the entire spaceship instantly lifted off from the ground.

To the outside world, it would be easy to see the huge waves swept up as the spaceship took off, causing countless dust to fly up on the ground, but the three inside couldn't see it.

Qi Yi then operated some more things, and suddenly the tail of the spaceship ejected several blue flames, and the entire spaceship flew forward at a very fast speed.

Under such high speed, the spaceship continuously ascended until it reached a position that Qi Yi thought suitable.

Then, he maneuvered the spaceship to rapidly leave the Huo Ying Star.

Without much time, under such high-speed assistance, the entire spaceship left the range of the Huo Ying Star and flew full speed toward the destination set by Qi Yi—the Shang Yang Continent.

Inside the spaceship, Qi Yi's voice came out: "We have already left the Huo Ying Star, and now we are heading to the Shang Yang Continent."

"Um, thanks for your hard work." Ye Junze nodded and responded.

"Hi hi, it seems we can go home soon. After returning, I will definitely eat a lot of delicious things to make up for the damage to my heart this time." Wen Yu said with a smile.

Qi Yi, upon hearing this, helplessly smiled and said, "In my opinion, making up for the heart is fake, it's just that your mouth is greedy."

"Yo yo, Qi-ge you exposed me again, not ignoring you." Wen Yu pretended to be angry.

"Good good good, I was wrong, I was wrong." Qi Yi said, then didn't say more, focusing on driving the spaceship.

Ye Junze listened to the two's banter and couldn't help but smile, thinking inwardly, "This is good too."

......

Just like that, after Qi Yi drove the spaceship for an unknown amount of time, he spoke again. This time his tone was a bit more relaxed, saying, "We have arrived at the Shang Yang Continent, and there should be no more surprises. We are safe now."

"That's good." Ye Junze spoke out.

Qi Yi nodded, driving the spaceship toward the location of the Qi family, arriving over a sea area.

When the spaceship passed over the sea surface, a change occurred suddenly!

"Bad, what's going on." Qi Yi suddenly exclaimed.

Ye Junze, upon hearing this, immediately stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The spaceship suddenly lost control, and I can't do anything about it now, like it's not under command." Qi Yi answered quickly.

Ye Junze frowned, puzzled and said, "Lost control? Any reason found?"

"I don't know the specific reason, but it seems like there's a gravitational magnetic field around that prevents the spaceship's radar system and other equipment from functioning normally." Qi Yi answered immediately.

"A magnetic field? How could this happen." Ye Junze couldn't help but mutter.

"Unknown, what do we do now?" Qi Yi asked anxiously.

"Eject the spaceship, let me try if I can take you out." Ye Junze instantly made a decision and said.

As soon as Ye Junze finished speaking, he circulated his spiritual energy, wanting to fly the two out of the spaceship directly. But as soon as he circulated his spiritual energy, he found that his spiritual energy was sealed at this moment and couldn't be circulated at all.

He then said, "You two try if you can circulate your spiritual energy."

Upon hearing this, the two immediately did so. After a moment, both their expressions became ugly.

They looked at each other and shook their heads simultaneously, looking at Ye Junze and saying, "Can't."

Ye Junze, upon hearing this, instantly thought it must be related to the strange gravitational magnetic field mentioned by Qi Yi.

He could only say, "Leave it to fate."

As soon as the words fell, the entire spaceship fell straight toward the sea surface below.

In Ye Junze's final view, there was only a stretch of blue, looking extremely beautiful, "So beautiful."

Thinking this, Ye Junze closed his eyes deeply and fainted.
