Chapter 309

309. Chapter 309: Leaving the Island

With the help of a group of well-meaning people, Long Xuan and his companions soon reached the edge of Sky Island.

Di Xin looked at him with complex eyes; she had long sensed that the Honesty Gu was abnormal.

Today, she was one hundred percent certain: this Honesty Gu was hypocritical—others lying was unacceptable, but her master lying was fine. This truly shattered her understanding of the Honesty Gu.

He parades around daily with such a dishonest Honesty Gu, deceiving people without consequence—today, Shui Juanyun was thoroughly scammed by him.

From now on, everyone in the world will believe the Repair Gu is in Shui Juanyun's possession, even the Shui Clan Family Head will likely think so.

What Shui Juanyun will face afterward, she didn't need to imagine to know—she wouldn't even offer him a Memorial.

The other crew members also felt uneasy for Shui Juanyun, silently sighing that their Captain was truly ruthless.

To use the Honesty Gu to frame others—only he could come up with such a scheme. If he went around falsely accusing people with this abnormal Honesty Gu, he'd nail every target perfectly.

Without exaggeration, if he wanted, he could even trick a Gu King to death this way.

He just needs to claim the Gu King carries Longevity Medicine, while his Honesty Gu doesn't glow—tell me, does the Gu King live or die?

No wonder he often calls it the most ruthless Gu Worm—it truly is ruthless. A Gu Worm that can easily trick a Gu King to death can't help but be ruthless.

Looking at the crew members all staring at him with strange glances, Long Xuan sighed inwardly.

They had all witnessed him lie, yet the Honesty Gu didn't glow—his secret of the Honesty Gu's dishonesty could no longer be kept.

Thus, after this journey ends, these people absolutely cannot be disbanded; they must be firmly held in his grasp—not one of them can be sent back.

His secret of the Honesty Gu's dishonesty must not be exposed for now—it's far too valuable to him, and in the future, it will surely help him scam many others.

Originally, holding a Repair Gu while everyone still remembered clearly was a Dead End for him—he could only survive by abandoning the Repair Gu.

But because of this dishonest Honesty Gu, the Dead End has been turned around—everyone now believes the Repair Gu is on Shui Juanyun, and Shui Juanyun has truly carried a heavy burden for him.

Once the secret of his Honesty Gu's dishonesty is exposed, all his efforts will be wasted; many will again suspect the Repair Gu is on him, even drawing the pursuit of a Gu King.

Therefore, the secret of the Honesty Gu must not be exposed for now.

"You should understand that only the dead can keep secrets," Di Xin smiled at Long Xuan, sending a Soul Transmission.

No one knew whether she was joking or testing him.

"How could you possibly suspect I'd do anything to you? Can I even defeat you?"

"There's still Yang Zhan, a Spirit Sea Peak, on this ship—who among us can match him?"

"Even if I wanted to silence you, I lack the strength!"

"Enough! Stop testing me!"

"Even if the Honesty Gu's secret is kept, it's still uncertain—killing someone won't help."

"If Shui Juanyun is killed and the killer finds no Repair Gu on him, they'll inevitably suspect it's still on you."

"Regardless of whether the Honesty Gu's secret can be kept, I'll definitely use the Face-Changing Gu to change my appearance and go into hiding for a while."

"The name Long Xuan will vanish for a long time—I will never return to the Long Family."

"Next, I'll disembark randomly somewhere and lie low for a while."

"Lend me another Face-Changing Gu—I need a Clone to disguise myself as my Junior Brother and take over as Captain."

"With the Straw Gu Hut, I can firmly control them—I have no intention of disbanding or sending these people back; they'll still be very useful."

"I know you have a way to detect my Clone, so this plan won't fool you—so I might as well tell you outright."

Long Xuan sighed inwardly—Di Xin's hidden cards were countless and bottomless. When they, the Far West F4, stole the Magma Cave Abode, she had effortlessly detected his Clone.

Even now, he didn't understand how Di Xin managed it.

At that time, his Clone, aside from the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye, couldn't even be detected by a Gu King.

Long Xuan said no more and immediately retrieved the Divine Dragon Ship from the Heart of the Ocean, leaping aboard.

"Board the ship! This place is no place to linger!" Long Xuan waved his hand and shouted to those below.

The crew members didn't dare delay—they all leapt onto the ship.

"Sky Island hasn't started descending yet—I'm not confident I can sail the ship down the waterfall," Nie Qingcheng spoke up.

"No problem. I anticipated this might happen, so I never returned the Earth Master."

"With the Earth Master's strength, it's enough to slow the Divine Dragon Ship's descent," Long Xuan said.

The Dung Beetle can fly, and after mutation, it's immensely strong—he didn't believe twenty Earth Masters couldn't pull a small ship.

Combined with the Divine Dragon Ship's strong performance, activating the Anti-Gravity System would ensure a stable landing on the sea surface.

As he spoke, Long Xuan released twenty Earth Masters who had shed their Insect Armor; the Earth Masters flapped their wings and pushed the Divine Dragon Ship toward the waterfall.

The Endless Sea Region's gravity was immense—under such tremendous gravity, the Divine Dragon Ship should have plummeted downward at extreme speed.

Yet, pulled by the twenty Earth Masters, the Divine Dragon Ship descended slowly along the waterfall.

The twenty giant Earth Masters flapping their wings resembled heavy helicopters—their generated gales were overwhelmingly strong.

The crew members couldn't open their eyes against the wind; they could barely hold onto the railings to avoid being blown away.

Seeing the twenty Earth Masters truly could pull the Divine Dragon Ship, the crew members let out long sighs of relief and finally felt at ease.

Soon after, the Divine Dragon Ship landed steadily on the sea surface and slowly sailed away.

Meanwhile, the Gu Cultivators on Sky Island were still locked in chaotic battle, fighting fiercely—they still didn't know someone had already left early.

……

Onboard, after entrusting the ship's navigation to Nie Qingcheng, Long Xuan retreated again into his bedroom.

He stealthily pulled out a black toad, cradling it in his hands and grinning foolishly.

This was the legendary Repair Gu—the goal of his journey to Sky Island.

Acquiring it had been incredibly difficult—he outwitted the God of Gambling, nearly burning out his brain cells, and barely managed to seize the Repair Gu.

The risks he took to obtain this Repair Gu were by no means small.

But compared to the Heaven-defying value of the Repair Gu, everything he had sacrificed was worth it.

Do not assume the Repair Gu cannot fix Heaven-Defying Objects; that is only because it is currently merely a Spirit Insect. What if you were to transform it into a Gu Worm?

Once the Repair Gu becomes a Gu Worm, its future ceiling will be terrifyingly high, certainly capable of repairing everything in this world.

Perhaps in the future, it could even repair damaged worlds.

If the Repair Gu is utilized properly, it will truly become a bug-like existence in this world, capable of accomplishing far too many things.

However, to enable the Repair Gu to repair everything, one must first research a Gu Formula for it.

Long Xuan, unable to wait, immediately entered Soul Study and began creating a Gu Formula with the Repair Gu as the Main Material.

As expected, he encountered the exact same situation as with the Medicine Gu.

The Repair Gu's abilities are simply too Heaven-defying; once it becomes a Gu Worm, the required materials will number in the tens of millions.

Most of these materials are from the Divine Realm and are fundamentally impossible to find in the Gu World.

He could only use the method of researching Medicine Gu, continuously using trash materials to lower the Gu Formula's quality, thereby shortening the formula until the material count finally reached merely ten thousand.

A Repair Gu of such a degree would certainly be unable to fix many things; for instance, the Sky-Mending Tree and the World Tree would definitely not be repairable by a Repair Gu of this level.

But Long Xuan was already satisfied.

Although a Repair Gu of this degree cannot fix many things in the Spirit Realm and the Divine Realm, repairing the vast majority of treasures in this Gu World should pose no problem.

When he one day truly reaches the Divine Realm in the future, he can find the Decomposition Gu, one of the Ten Great Heaven-Defying Spirit Gu, and decompose this weakened version of the Repair Gu to refine it anew; there is no rush.

For the current stage, using the weakened version of the Repair Gu as a transition is already sufficient.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed.

During these two months, Long Xuan remained in his bedroom, grinding away at the Gu Formula without ever stepping out.

Only when Shangguan Wuwo prepared some delicious food would he rarely move his buttocks, heading to the cafeteria to satisfy his appetite.

Meanwhile, he had not forgotten about refining the Heaven-Devouring World Toad.

After finding the Golden Toad in the Sky Island Ruins, all materials listed on the Swallowing Heaven World Toad Gu Formula were finally complete.

Refining the Heaven-Devouring World Toad had no special location requirements, so he simply proceeded to refine it within the Heart of the Ocean.

Currently, only two months of Gu Refining time had passed; he still needed to wait patiently for a long period.

On this day, in his bedroom, Long Xuan wrote on a thick stack of paper: "Repair Gu Formula."

—By Long Xuan Zhe

He stopped his hand and set down his brush, a slight smile appearing on his face.

After spending two months in Soul Study, the Repair Gu Formula was finally ground out by him.

This Repair Gu Formula required a material count reaching a full thirty thousand.

In the eyes of others, this was a frighteningly large number; a Gu Formula containing so many materials was enough to make everyone click their tongues in astonishment.

But by now, Long Xuan had seen too many Heaven-Defying Gu Worms, and his horizons had broadened increasingly.

Compared to those Heaven-Defying Gu Worms, the thirty thousand materials for this Repair Gu did not even amount to a fraction of their material counts.

Therefore, upon seeing a Gu Formula with so many materials, Long Xuan was long past being surprised.

He calmly stored the Gu Formula, slowly rose to his feet, and walked outward.

Outside at this moment.

Having sailed at sea for two months, the Divine Dragon Ship was about to exit the Endless Sea Region.

However, just as all the crew members caught sight of another sea region beyond the boundary and were becoming extremely excited, their expressions suddenly stiffened.

Because they saw a massive Seven-Story Treasure Ship blocking the way outside the Endless Sea Region, quietly waiting for them.

This ship was painted black and somewhat damaged; a Dragon Head was carved at its prow, and a black dragon was embroidered on its flag.

If this was not the notorious Black Dragon Ship, then what was it?

It was just that the famous Black Dragon Pirate Group, having undergone who knows what, now surprisingly possessed only this single ship.

Furthermore, the pirates on board were scattered sparsely; there were hardly any pirates still standing on the ship. (End of Chapter)
