Zhou Dacheng clicked his tongue and smacked his lips together. He was licking at the remnants that were by the corner of his lips.

Suddenly, he went stiff.

He felt a warm sensation from his belly pouring into his limbs. It was as if he was soaking in a jacuzzi.

Moreover, he was feeling fresh and awake, like someone had just woken him up from a daze.

He was energetic as if he just ate medical ingredients.

‘Is...is this...Insights?!’

He did not dare to delay it. Hurriedly, he composed himself and absorbed this experience.

The Insights from the pear were not that useful for a cultivator at his level. However, Insights were still Insights. It was better than nothing!

Cultivators in the Immortal Realm would go crazy if they knew about pears that contained Insights.

This pear was already worth the trip!

What a bigshot. He gave away this rare treasure like a normal pear.

Of course, the expert was roleplaying as an ordinary man. It was not wrong for him to treat treasures like everyday objects.

Maybe this was a-day-in-the-life of the expert?

Li Nianfan stayed at the front deck for a while before heading back inside with Daji.

Luo Shiyu and the others came to the front deck after a while. Their noses twitched at the same time.

What a nice scent. It was a soft scent but it was remarkable.

They glanced around and saw the pear core next to Zhou Dacheng.

Suddenly, they were confused. They made a guess that drove them crazy.

Qin Manyun licked her lips and asked softly, “Second Elder, don’t tell me this pear...”

“You guessed right.” The Second Elder gripped his beard and said while smiling, “I’m not trying to flex or anything, but I did impress Mr. Li and got rewarded with a treasure pear.”

The Holy Emperor instantly looked unhappy. Trembling, he pointed at Zhou Dacheng with teary eyes, “You! Why didn’t you inform us? You...I’m pissed off!”

“Well, it’s not that I don’t want to share. The expert gave it to me specifically. I can’t help it.”

Zhou Dacheng was pretentious and cocky. He licked his lips again. “Oh, you’re just unlucky. Too bad! You don’t know how delicious that pear was. I took a small bite and the juice burst in my mouth. It was even better when it went down my throat. I felt like I was in heaven. It also contained Insights. Super delicious, what a rare opportunity!”

Pant!

The Holy Emperor was breathing heavily. He was livid and miserable. His eyes were wide and he wanted to cry.

Luo Shiyu and Qin Manyun did not look happy either. They were biting their lips and felt heartbroken.

Too late!

They were relaxing for only one minute and already missed a golden opportunity. If they were out here earlier, they could have had the chance to get a pear from the expert!

A heart-aching regret!

What a missed opportunity!

They had to be near the expert from now on.

“Cheapskate! It’s just a pear. What’s there to show off for? You were nowhere to be seen when I was eating delicacies at Mr. Li’s!” scoffed the Holy Emperor.

The Holy Emperor headed back into the skyship arrogantly.

However, he secretly wiped a tear away when he turned around.

The skyship kept moving. It was getting dark.

Zhou Dacheng focused, staring ahead. He did not dare to lose focus.

The skyship was usually foolproof in the sky, but it could not handle one risk.

That risk would be the aforementioned Fiery Nebula!

The Fiery Nebula was a condensed cloud of dust and ionized gases from the sky, burning chaotically.

It did not have a pattern of occurrence. One would be attacked if one encountered a Fiery Nebula. The skyship shield was not helpful either.

Zhou Dacheng had to focus. He would need to change the route immediately if he happened to see a Fiery Nebula. They would need to take a detour.

So far, everything was alright. Then, it was midnight.

The skyship was flickering with sparks in the night sky. It seemed to be the only thing flying in the vast universe.

Suddenly, Zhou Dacheng saw something and said, exasperated, “So, we encountered it anyway.”

The Fiery Nebula was clear in the night sky.

Flames were dancing mid-air. It painted the sky red and covered the horizon.

It was like an endless red river in the sky, unpassable.

“Detour it is,” sighed Zhou Dacheng. He was about to steer away. Suddenly, he was mystified.

He rubbed his eyes to ensure he saw it correctly.

He had chills all over and a dry mouth. He stood still like he was thunderstruck.

“How...how...how...how is this possible?”

His voice went up a few octaves. He could not believe his eyes.

The Fiery Nebula moved aside!

Zhou Dacheng watched the Fiery Nebula part slowly, moving toward the sides while leaving a trail in the middle. Most importantly, this trail was like a passage made for them, almost like...it moved for them.

‘Moving for us?’

Was it a coincidence? Or...

He felt his skin crawl.

He had lived for thousands of years but he had never seen or heard of something like this!

Should he go for it?

Zhou Dacheng looked doubtful. He finally headed back into the skyship.

He brought Qin Manyun and the others out. He looked serious.

The Holy Emperor thought he was joking. He said, “Is something that magical really possible? I think you’re pranking me.”

He said that as he looked up.

He was stumped as soon as he looked up. His mouth was O-shaped like he had just seen a ghost.

“How... How is this possible?” The Holy Emperor thought he was dreaming.

Luo Shiyu gulped. “The Fiery Nebula moved? No way! Moving for who?”

Qin Manyun looked dumbfounded, too. However, she quickly took a deep breath and composed herself. She was excited and respectful. She said in a trembling voice, “Who else?”

The Holy Emperor licked his chapped lip and exclaimed, “I thought so, too, but...this is incredible. It’s almost impossible!”

Qin Manyun stared at Zhou Dacheng and asked, “Second Elder, what did you talk about on the front deck with Mr. Li?”

“Nothing much, just... Mr. Li asked me how long it’d take to arrive at Azure Ville. I told him that we’d arrive in a day if we don’t run into a Fiery Nebula. And if we did, it’d take more than three days.”

Zhou Dacheng was pale. This unexpected event was beyond his imaginations and changed his perspective of the world. He was frightened as he continued in a trembling voice, “Then...then... I think Mr. Li said something like ‘hopefully we’re lucky and we can arrive earlier’...”
