She had also been quite engrossed in cultivation recently, gradually becoming immersed in it. Coupled with her exceptionally high comprehension, her cultivation progressed even more rapidly.
The flying boat continued its journey, always heading in the direction of the Sun Star. However, it remained hanging coldly in the upper sky, its distance neither increasing nor decreasing.
Everyone occasionally felt an increasing chill!
Shouldn't it get hotter the closer they got to the sun?
Everyone became increasingly confused and lost confidence.
Ji Zhuo and Xi Caifa became enraged and finally confronted Shui Han, demanding to turn back.
Shui Han disagreed, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle. As a result, Ji Zhuo and Xi Caifa were beaten until their faces were bruised and swollen.
Qi Ao Lai and Ling Feng spent their days inseparable, always appearing as a pair, and their lives were quite pleasant.
Mo Qi also had Shui Han and Xue Ying by his side. He often spent time with beautiful women under the moon and flowers, and he didn't feel the hardship of their journey. On the contrary, they all felt an unprecedented sense of peace and warmth.
Min Xiaorong, however, had a somewhat peculiar temperament. Under normal circumstances, she was very well-behaved, but at unpredictable moments, she would suddenly throw a tantrum and beat Ji Zhuo and Xi Caifa.
Ji Zhuo and Xi Caifa were no match for her. They were instantly covered in wounds. Each time, it was Mo Qi who used healing pills to cure them.
This was also one of the reasons why Ji Zhuo and Xi Caifa were unwilling to stay on the flying boat any longer.
But no matter what, the mission was not completed, and Shui Han dared not lead everyone back.
Disobeying military orders meant death upon return. Continuing forward only meant a delay in time, but not necessarily death!
But when would this kind of life ever end?
One day, Mo Qi also felt unbearable boredom and couldn't help but find Shui Han, saying, "If we can't reach the Sun Star, will we just keep going like this?"
Shui Han glared at him, "Are you also going to disrupt morale?"
Mo Qi sighed and turned to leave, "Pretend I didn't say anything."
Just then, someone on the deck shouted, "Look, someone!" Da Feng Novel Network
This was indeed very strange!
Mo Qi and Shui Han both headed to the deck simultaneously.
At the same time, others also arrived on the deck from various directions.
Qin Xiao pointed to a figure in front of the flying boat and said in horror, "That person has been running ahead, moving very fast, so fast that the flying boat can't catch up."
Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a white-haired old man, barefoot, with disheveled hair and ragged clothes, running forward with great strides, like a shooting star.
What was he running for? Could it be some madman from somewhere who saw the flying boat and found it strange, wanting to race it?
But where did this madman come from?
What madman possessed such wind-like speed?
Mo Qi shouted, "Senior, if you don't mind, please come aboard the flying boat for a chat and rest before continuing your journey."
The old man heard the voice, slowed his pace, and came to a position parallel to the flying boat. He didn't stop but continued running, saying as he ran, "I won't come up. Coming onto the flying boat will affect my speed, and thus my lifespan. If I stop, I will die."
This statement was not without reason. Mo Qi had personally experienced it. During that period, he ran for four years to catch up with Lian Min, and he felt that he was getting younger the more he ran.
"So, you're running hard for longevity," Mo Qi said.
"Not entirely," the old man replied. "Chasing the sun is my mission."
A flash of inspiration struck Mo Qi's mind, and he suddenly thought of someone, blurting out, "Are you Kuafu?"
The old man was startled and turned to look at Mo Qi, "I am Kuafu, but how do you know me?"
Mo Qi laughed heartily, "Not only do I know you, but they all know you, right?" He gestured to Qin Xiao and the others.
Qin Xiao and the others nodded repeatedly, expressing their agreement.
The legend of Kuafu chasing the sun was not only widely spread in the Earth Star world but also highly renowned in the Milky Way world.
However, what puzzled everyone was that Kuafu was dead, wasn't he? How was he still alive and well here?
Moreover, after so many years, hadn't he stopped running? Was he still chasing the sun?
Kuafu looked very shocked, "How do you know me?"
Mo Qi smiled, "Because what you're doing is so grand!"
Kuafu snorted, "Forget it, don't mock me. I'm just chasing the sun, it's for myself, how is it grand?"
"You chasing the sun is chasing light, and the world needs light."
"Uh, alright. But actually, I chase the sun to give myself a goal, and then live forever. Otherwise, I would have died long ago."
"But if you keep running like this, what's the meaning of living?"
"I've seen the scenery all along the way as I ran."
"I didn't expect you to have only reached here after so many years. It seems you won't be able to catch up to the sun," Mo Qi chuckled.
"Who says I can't catch up? I've already reached the sun," Kuafu said.
"You've reached it?" everyone exclaimed in unison.
"I reached it long ago. I know how to get there," Kuafu said calmly. "It's just that now I'm too idle, so I've found a seemingly very long path to chase it again, so I can keep chasing it."
"Ah? Does this path really not lead there?" "How do we go on the path that does?" "We really took the wrong path." ...
People spoke in a flurry of questions.
Kuafu pointed to the side, "Do you see that black hole? That is the Dark World. If you go in that direction, you will reach the Sun Star."
"I'm not well-read, don't try to fool me. That's clearly the opposite direction, how can we get there?" Mo Qi said dismissively.
"If you're not well-read, then don't speak. Just do as I say," Kuafu's words left Mo Qi speechless.
Shui Han, for some reason, instinctively felt that Kuafu was reliable, so he commanded the flying boat's pilot, "Turn left and head towards the black hole."
Seeing the flying boat turn, Kuafu continued to speed forward, "I hope you can find your way out, otherwise, this will be your tomb."
Everyone's hearts pounded with fear, because before this, everyone had more or less thought of the tomb, but they just didn't dare to say it.
Strangely, as the flying boat gradually moved away from the sun, everyone felt hotter.
But their arguments never stopped.
Some said they were clearly going further away.
Some said, since they couldn't reach it anyway, they might as well wander aimlessly for a while, and what if they reached their destination again?
As they argued, a strange thing happened.
The sun behind them had disappeared at some point, and in front of them appeared a sun, a sun so huge they had never seen before, as if they had been drawn into the sun's radiance.
And in the sun's shadow, there was indeed a shadow.
As they got closer, everyone gradually saw clearly that it was an immortal mountain, a castle!
This was the destination they were looking for, the palace of the Sun Maiden!
They would have the honor of meeting that unique and willful queen.
She came from the Milky Way world, betrayed it for power, and established her own domain, occupying this world centered around the Sun Star, standing in opposition to the Milky Way world.
Everyone couldn't help but become excited.
"I heard the queen is a beauty with peerless looks," Ji Zhuo said.
"A beauty? A beauty tens of millions of years old, would you dare to look?" Xi Caifa said disdainfully.
"She's tens of millions of years old?" Ji Zhuo rolled his eyes, and his interest in seeing her beauty vanished instantly.
At this moment, in front of the flying boat, several people appeared, several men!
They stared at the flying boat fearlessly, and the flying boat was heading straight for them.
"What are these people doing? Are they seeking death? Why aren't they dodging?" Qin Xiao asked in confusion.
"There are no men in the Light World. They must be from other worlds, perhaps with the same objective as us," Shui Han said.
"Who cares who they are? If they want to die, then fulfill their wish," Ji Zhuo said.
Thus, the flying boat sped towards the five men.
The five men showed no intention of dodging, as if they were too scared to remember to dodge.
But there was no fear in their eyes; instead, there was only contempt.
