Chapter 1178 Departure
Liu Changxu nodded and accepted Duan Yuwei's invitation. On the morning of the third day, at the first light of dawn, he said goodbye to his wife and family, and set off with Duan Yuwei to leave Penglai Island.

The two of them boarded the Ruyi Dunkong Shuttle, which was like a stream of light, disappearing into the sky in an instant and speeding towards the mysterious sea.

Liu Changxu and Duan Yuwei sat opposite each other on the deck of the Ruyi Dunkong Shuttle. Beside the warm jade table, the fragrance of tea rose from the exquisite teacups, and their faces were looming in the mist.

Duan Yuwei raised her hand and sipped her tea elegantly, her eyes quietly falling on Liu Changxu's face. The morning light outlined the strong and charming lines of his face, his eyes were deep as if they hid endless stars, and under his high nose bridge, his thin lips were slightly raised, with a bit of calmness.

Duan Yuwei looked at him and couldn't help but become a little dazed. Ripples appeared in her heart and she even forgot to put down the teacup in her hand. It was not until Liu Changxu coughed lightly that she came back to her senses and a blush quietly appeared on her face.

What Liu Changxu didn't know was that one of the most important reasons why Duan Yuwei invited him to go on the adventure was that she already had some unusual thoughts about him.

From the moment she met Liu Changxu and witnessed him display his extraordinary strength, different feelings began to sprout in Duan Yuwei's heart.

After all, even though she was now a top-notch cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage and had a great reputation in the world of immortal cultivation, and she usually looked cold and arrogant, but when she peeled off the outer shell of a strong person, she was still a woman after all.

Women are born with an instinctive admiration for the strong. When a man has both extraordinary strength and a refined appearance and temperament, it is a temptation that is hard to refuse for women.

When Duan Yuwei was alone, Liu Changxu's handsome and charming face would unconsciously appear in her mind, and there was always a voice in her heart quietly echoing: If I could join hands with him and become a Taoist partner, the long and arduous road of cultivation in the future would definitely be less difficult and the path to immortality would be smoother. Once this idea was born, it spread like wild grass and was difficult to contain.

As a veteran in the world of women, Liu Changxu was extremely sensitive to the changes in women's minds. How could the flash of special feelings in Duan Yuwei's eyes escape his eyes? But in a flash, he figured out Duan Yuwei's little thoughts.

For Liu Changxu, if he could become a dual cultivation partner with a Tribulation Crossing Stage expert like Duan Yuwei, the benefits would be too numerous to count.

First of all, the Liu family’s strength will be greatly enhanced and will reach a higher level.

Now the family already has two Tribulation Crossing experts in charge. After Duan Yuwei marries in, the family will have three Tribulation Crossing experts. The family's ranking among the top human forces will surely rise significantly. By then, the children of the family will be able to stand up straighter when they go out, and the resources they obtain will be endless, and the prosperity of the family is just around the corner.

Furthermore, Duan Yuwei is one of the two supreme elders in the Tribulation Crossing Stage who is in charge of Xuantian Sect. As long as they form a Taoist couple, it would be equivalent to indirectly controlling half of the power of Xuantian Sect and forming an unbreakable alliance with Xuantian Sect.

Moreover, he can also use Duan Yuwei's personal connections to help the Liu family establish a closer relationship with other top immortal cultivation forces of the human race, and truly gain a foothold on this Poseidon Star.

Finally, there is the most direct and exciting benefit.

Duan Yuwei was pure and innocent, and still a virgin. Liu Changxu knew that once he and her combined their powers, with the help of her yin energy, his cultivation would be greatly improved. Although he did not dare to hope that he could directly advance to the middle stage of the Tribulation Crossing, it could at least help him greatly shorten the time required to advance to the middle stage of the Tribulation Crossing.

Of course, becoming a Taoist partner with Duan Yuwei is like a coin with two sides, and the disadvantages are also obvious.

The most difficult thing is the attitude of Liu Changxu's other wives and concubines. He already has twelve wives. If he marries Duan Yuwei, a strong person in the Tribulation Crossing Period, the family will probably be filled with jealousy, and it may even cause turmoil within the family.

But this problem is not unsolvable. For a long time, Liu Changxu has been well versed in the art of running a family. By marrying more and more high-quality dual cultivation partners, he has continuously injected strong power into the development of the family and helped the family grow step by step.

The Liu family's current prosperity is largely due to his wife-marrying strategy. Because of this, although his wives and concubines resented his frequent marriages, they had no choice but to get used to it over the years.

After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Changxu made up his mind that he would not let the beauty down and must welcome Duan Yuwei into his home as soon as possible.

As a result, the atmosphere of Liu Changxu and Duan Yuwei's conversation changed quietly, and gradually replaced the serious matters they discussed at the beginning with trivialities of life. The two of them became more relaxed and comfortable in their conversation, and their hearts were like magnets, slowly attracting each other and getting closer. More than a month later, in the early morning, at the first light of dawn, Ruyi Dunkong Shuttle was like a disappearing stream of light, quietly cutting through the sky and appearing above a clear blue sea.

After more than a month of getting along, their relationship has made rapid progress. Now, except for the last step, they have done everything they can.

At this moment, the two of them were standing on the deck of the Ruyi Dunkong Shuttle, hugging each other.

At this moment, Duan Yuwei's cheeks were faintly flushed and her eyes were full of tenderness. She snuggled gently in Liu Changxu's arms, as if she had found the warmest harbor in the world.

Together, they looked out toward the vast sea in the distance. The early sun was shining, spots of golden light were shining, and the rippling waves were sparkling and dancing, which was extremely beautiful.

"Asahiro!"

Duan Yuwei's soft voice sounded softly, "The underwater cave is not far away. What should we do next?"

She raised her head and looked at Liu Changxu with trust.

Liu Changxu raised his sword-like eyebrows, patted his chest, and showed his heroic spirit:

"Sister Duan, please wait here for a moment. I will go ahead and find out how heavy that old turtle is!"

After he finished speaking, spiritual energy surged throughout his body, and his clothes rustled.

"Then Xulang must be careful!"

Duan Yuwei looked worried. She stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, her concern evident in her eyes.

"Sister Duan, don't worry!"

Liu Changxu smiled freely, his figure was as fast as lightning, and instantly turned into a dazzling lightning, tearing through the sky with a "swish", and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Duan Yuwei looked in the direction where her lover left, her beautiful eyes full of worry.

Liu Changxu was flying at high speed like an arrow shot from a bow. At the same time, his spiritual sense was like a fine fishing net, spreading out towards the bottom of the sea with all his strength, searching carefully.

Although this sea area looks calm, it is actually as deep as a bottomless abyss. Sea monsters are rampant, seaweeds are swaying wantonly, and there are rugged reefs. There are many disturbances one after another. It is not easy to find the eighth-grade top-quality golden tortoise in this vast seabed.

However, relying on Liu Changxu's powerful spiritual power, after a careful search, he was able to keenly capture the clues of the eighth-grade top-grade golden tortoise.

But before he could make any move, a powerful and terrifying pressure, like a deep-sea monster just awakened, spread out from the bottom of the sea. In an instant, the air around him seemed to be tightly grasped by a pair of invisible hands. Then, the sea surface, which had been calm just now, suddenly rose up as if a basin had been overturned by an angry god. The waves roared into the sky and then smashed down fiercely, splashing layers of water.

Not long after, a huge turtle shell with a radius of hundreds of miles broke out of the water and slowly floated to the surface. The mysterious and ancient patterns on the shell gleamed in the sun, as if telling the vicissitudes of time and also indicating the extraordinary strength of its owner.
