Chapter 133 Don't be shy!
For many people, this was the first time they had ever seen their ancestor alive, though the ancestor was rather small.
"Your grandfather is unreliable, so you'd better keep an eye on him. Also, if your grandfather and your great-grandfather get into another conflict, you'd better try to mediate," Dugu Yue said to Dugu Xun.
Dugu Yue never considered the possibility that his grandfather would not accept his son. How many Spirit Venerables over a thousand years old are there in the entire Yunlan Realm? Unless his grandfather is out of his mind, he wouldn't want his son.
"Mmm." Dugu Xun nodded, looking rather impatient.
Dugu Yue wanted to punch him; this brat was taking him less and less seriously.
"Hey! Are you done talking? If you don't come up now, I'm not waiting for you."
On the boat, a handsome little boy with white hair stood on the railing, hands on his hips, looking at Dugu Xun.
Dugu Xun turned and flew towards the Flying Star Ship.

Ten days later.
On the high seas, an exquisitely magnificent ship was sailing. Stars swirled around it, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The ship was highly visible in the night, and all the creatures around it watched with curiosity as it passed by.
A handsome young man in white stood at the bow of the ship, his white robes fluttering in the sea breeze. He gazed at the bright moon rising in the distance and fell into deep thought.
"Zi Rong".
Dugu Xun walked up from behind and came to Gu Yan's side.
"Brother."
Dugu Xun looked at Gu Yan and asked, "Are you worried about your parents?"
Gu Yan said, "I am a little worried about them. Your grandfather said that it took him two hundred years to lead people across the Endless Sea. Two hundred years! I wonder what will happen to my parents two hundred years from now?"
"Don't worry, you're not familiar with the route the first time, so it won't necessarily take that long the second time," Dugu Xun said.
"We haven't even entered the Endless Sea yet," Gu Yan said, looking into the distance.
There were only three people on the ship: Gu Yan, Dugu Xun, and Dugu Yun. Dugu Yue had originally suggested bringing some Spirit Emperor realm guards, but Dugu Yun felt that they would be a hindrance. One Spirit Saint and two Spirit Venerables would be more convenient. If there was any real danger, Dugu Yun could simply take Gu Yan and Dugu Xun and run away.
The task of serving others can be left to the puppets. Bringing others along is pointless and only adds to the trouble.
Dugu Xun raised his hand, and purple spiritual light surged from it, revealing a map.
The map glowed with various colors, and a point of light on the ship was moving; that point of light represented the flying star ship.
The sea area where the Flying Star Ship is currently located is the Bright Sea. Beyond the Bright Sea lies the Endless Sea. After sailing for three more days, the Flying Star Ship finally entered the Endless Sea, where it immediately encountered a terrifying storm.
Countless tornadoes appeared over the entire sea area, with seawater pouring into the sky as if the heavens and earth were collapsing. The waves rose one after another, like mountains thousands of feet high shaking. The storm emitted a deep, continuous, soul-shaking hum, a sound that anyone below the Spirit Venerable level would find difficult to bear.
Suddenly, an infinitely extending, towering gray-white wall of water, composed of billions of perfectly round, hard water droplets as hard as black iron pellets, moved at a speed capable of destroying everything. If this flying star ship had not been a divine artifact, it would have been reduced to dust in an instant.
Standing inside the flying star ship, Gu Yan looked out with her divine sense and found the scene terrifying. She thought to herself, "No wonder they say the Endless Sea is a natural treacherous place. We've only just entered the Endless Sea, and the scenery is already so frightening. I wonder what other dangers await us later."
This was the first time Dugu Xun had ever seen such a scene, and his expression became serious.
Dugu Yun yawned and lay lazily on the soft couch, waiting for the puppet maid beside him to warm a pot of fine wine.
After the storm came a terrifying thunderstorm, which covered the entire sea area, boundless and endless, beyond the reach of divine sense. As far as the eye could see and within the range of divine sense, all that could be seen was lightning. The red lightning bolts were thicker than a head, falling from the sky like a torrential rain, turning the entire sea area into a lightning field.
Even those at the Spirit Emperor or Spirit Venerable realms wouldn't last long under such terrifying thunderstorms. Fortunately, this flying star ship was a divine artifact, blocking all the thunderstorms from entering.
Gu Yan and Dugu Xun initially watched the terrifying thunderstorm outside with great interest, but after it lasted for two whole months, they both lost interest. Since the flying star ship could operate on autopilot, they simply went back to their rooms to cultivate.

On the dark sea, a luxurious giant ship sails.
Inside this giant ship was a spacious library, where Gu Yan was currently reading ancient books. Rows of black wooden shelves were filled with thick volumes of various books. Floating lamps flickered with white light, and one lamp hovered above Gu Yan's head, illuminating the entire large wooden table.
Many of the ancient books in this library originated from the Jade Wave Continent, which greatly interested Gu Yan. There were also many high-level pill formulas here, which Dugu Yun had copied from the Tianyin Royal Family's library years ago.
Before he knew it, Gu Yan had finished reading one book. He stood up, put the brown-covered book back on the shelf, and picked up another one.
A figure appeared not far away at some unknown time. The tall man was wearing a black robe with red accents. His long white hair hung down his back. His slightly pale and handsome face was almost identical to Dugu Xun's. There was a red mark between his eyebrows. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, smiled slightly, and looked at Gu Yan with his beautiful purple eyes.
"Senior Yun?" Gu Yan was slightly surprised.
This was the first time he had seen Dugu Yun's true appearance. He looked so much like Dugu Xun that anyone who didn't know better would think they were twin brothers.
In fact, Dugu Xun resembles his father, Dugu Yue, and his two uncles, but he looks even more like his grandfather. The resemblance is almost like a copy and paste.
"I thought you would mistake me for that little rascal," Dugu Yun said with a smile.
"Although Senior Yun and my brother do look very similar, you two give off different vibes," Gu Yan said.
Even with his aura concealed, the oppressive aura emanating from the late-stage Spirit Saint realm far surpassed that of the early-stage Spirit Venerable realm, not to mention the different gazes they were giving him. Moreover…
Gu Yan's gaze fell on Dugu Yun's chest, where his clothes were mostly open, revealing his chest. His whole body exuded a lewd aura, and Dugu Xun could never do such a blatant display of a male peacock courting a mate.
"What are you looking at?" Dugu Yun's gaze fell on the book in Gu Yan's hand.
Gu Yan handed over the book in her hand; it was a book specifically about alchemical formulas. Dugu Yun took it, casually flipped through it, and smiled at Gu Yan again: "Zirong is really eager to learn. You've been here these past few days; is there anything you don't understand that you'd like to ask me?"
Gu Yan said, "Not at the moment."
Dugu Yun tossed the book in his hand onto the table beside him, then suddenly moved closer to Gu Yan, placing one hand on the bookshelf next to her: "Really? Don't be shy, I'd be happy to teach you anything."
