Chapter 699: Chapter 471 Outside the Manor
Dong Tianyu was very clear that neither his old man nor himself was cut out for leadership roles; otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen the mysterious path over the technological one.
After all, just like what the Daoist had first posted on WB after the pre-apocalyptic catastrophe, "Love it, believe it, if not, get lost; don’t hinder my cultivation."
Cultivation mainly requires one to be at peace with oneself; in other words, as long as you’re happy, there’s no need to care too much about what others think.
Although the Daoist path involves the concept of performing good deeds, no matter which book you look at, virtue can indeed help to quickly increase one’s cultivation level, but it’s not an essential component of cultivation. The most important thing is still to rely on oneself.
After leaving his room, Dong Tianyu didn’t return to Ye Liuyun’s room. Having made sure that his parents weren’t in any immediate danger, he didn’t stay on the ship for long and instead left directly by sword flight.
However, this time when he flew with his sword, Dong Tianyu didn’t use the Invisibility Technique to hide his figure but took off directly from the deck in broad daylight.
Although it was late in the day, there were still many who witnessed Dong Tianyu leaving on his sword.
Dong Tianyu’s actions quickly reached the hands of the person in charge of the night shift. After verifying Dong Tianyu’s identity upon seeing the recorded images, he convened a meeting the next day to inform everyone about Dong Tianyu’s sword flight.
Dong Tianyu’s actions not only indirectly showcased Ye Liuyun, but more importantly, made others aware of Dong Tianyu’s own abilities, resulting in greater attention from the crew towards Father Dong and Mother Dong.
After leaving the large ship, Dong Tianyu went straight back to the Cave to cultivate and rest before embarking on his journey the next day in search of a large Mysterious Ship.
Like many from China, Dong Tianyu had a slight collecting hobby. Having obtained a Companion Spiritual Treasure and found the means to enhance it, he would feel very uncomfortable if there wasn’t a little progress each day.
At this time, Dong Tianyu no longer paid attention to micro or small Mysterious Ships. Unless he encountered a medium-sized ship, Dong Tianyu wouldn’t approach them proactively.
Fortune favors the bold, and after a long search, Dong Tianyu finally found another giant Mysterious Ship.
The giant Mysterious Ship was about the size of a pre-apocalyptic aircraft carrier, making it naturally one level more dangerous than the large Mysterious Ships that Dong Tianyu had previously conquered.
Looking at the black aura emanating around the ship, Dong Tianyu guessed that the Mysterious Realm on the ship this time would probably not be similar to the gu-raising type he had encountered before.
However, despite his internal speculations, since he hadn’t yet entered, Dong Tianyu couldn’t know the actual situation.
After a moment of hesitation, considering that finding a high-level Mysterious Ship was difficult, Dong Tianyu decided to take the risk and enter.
As soon as Dong Tianyu approached the giant Mysterious Ship, standing on his Flying Swords, he felt a strong suction force.
Upon realizing he was being drawn towards the giant Mysterious Ship by this force, Dong Tianyu instinctively tried to resist. After testing and finding that he had the ability to break free from this pull, he relaxed considerably and stopped struggling, letting the force carry him onto the ship.
When Dong Tianyu’s feet landed on the deck of the ship, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed, and then, to his surprise, he found himself standing outside the gates of a manor.
Besides Dong Tianyu, there were also a few others standing outside the manor,
Just as Dong Tianyu was guessing whether those few were humans or ghosts, one of them came towards him, stopping about a dozen steps away from Dong Tianyu.
Then the person introduced himself, "Brother, you must have been near that black ship and then got sucked in, right? We were sucked in too.
Let me introduce myself first; my name is Rufus. What do I call you, brother?"
"Hello, you can call me ’Number Five.’" Although the other person expressed goodwill, Dong Tianyu did not reveal his real name.
After all, who knows whether the name given by the other party was real or fake, and even if it was a person, Dong Tianyu wouldn’t easily disclose his real name to others.
Nowadays, Awakeners who acquired strange abilities after waking with magical items are diverse and peculiar; who knows if there is an ability similar to a curse? Hence, facing strangers, Dong Tianyu would never casually reveal his real name.
Rufus, hearing Dong Tianyu’s cautious only revealing a nickname without giving any other information, didn’t get upset; after all, he had only said a name himself.
"Considering how composed you are at the moment, I think you’re not new to entering a Mysterious Realm on a Mysterious Ship. May I ask boldly, have you ever entered a Mysterious Realm of this level before?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, Dong Tianyu didn’t hide the truth, succinctly responding, "I haven’t experienced a Mysterious Realm of this level, but I have experienced lower-level realms twice."
Despite Dong Tianyu bluntly saying he hadn’t experienced a Mysterious Realm of this level before, if he wasn’t lying, even just having been through a lower-level Mysterious Realm meant that Dong Tianyu had much more experience than the others.
