1351 Days Without Rest
"I know I don't need to say this, but I will do so just in case. Make sure you don't fly too close to the water, as there are sea demons that can leap out of the water." Tian Yang reminded Huang Chen of the dangers below as they flew.
"Of course, I am keeping that in mind."
Huang Chen then asked, "How long will you be able to fly without stopping?"
"I can fly for half a day without stopping," he said.
Tian Yang was currently a first-level Spirit Lord, and he'd only recently attained that level, so his spiritual energy wasn't as vast as Huang Chen, who was a third-level Spirit Lord. This is also why Huang Chen left his daughter with Tian Yang.
"Let me know when you're running out of spiritual energy. I have some Spirit Restoration Pills with me."
Tian Yang nodded, "I also have some pills on me, but it's not much."
While they managed to get close to the Desolate Continent with the flying treasure, they were no longer traveling at the same speed. In fact, they were flying slower than the ship, and at their current speed, it would take at least another week or two of constant flying to reach their destination.
Tian Yang used his pills first since they were of inferior quality.
Unfortunately, even with Spirit Restoration Pills, there was a good chance that they might not reach their destination.
As their trial pressed on, sea demons would sporadically leap from the water, endeavoring to consume them. A few of these creatures used their mouths to expel water with a force so potent that it could rupture their bodies upon impact.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Due to the constant danger, neither Tian Yang nor Huang Chen could take a moment to rest, remaining alert around the clock.
Inevitably, their mental strength degraded over time, making it harder for them to manage their spiritual energy properly and wasting some of them.
Nine hours after his previous pill, Tian Yang said, "I need another Spirit Recovery Pill."
Huang Chen would approach Tian Yang so his wife would hand Huang Xiao Li a pill, who then fed the pill to Tian Yang.
"I only have a dozen more pills!" Huang Chen said afterward.
"Okay!"
'Damn it! If only I hadn't panicked at the ship and left behind the majority of our supplies, we wouldn't be suffering so much right now!' Huang Chen cursed himself inwardly for his failure.
In the urgency to escape, compounded by the looming threat of the Flying Leviathan, the Huang Family overlooked the crucial task of bringing most of their supplies with them.
However, even if they hadn't forgotten, there wasn't much they could bring with them due to their lack of space, and their spiritual rings were already full of other items that would not help them in their current situation.
Tian Yang consumed another Spirit Recovery Pill eight hours later while Huang Chen only needed to consume one pill every twenty-four hours.
Eventually, they ran out of pills with the last one being given to Tian Yang.
'Fuck! We haven't encountered a single island ever since we started flying! Did we get cursed or something to have such bullshit luck?!' Tian Yang cursed inwardly.
lightsnvl When Huang Xiao Li noticed Tian Yang started to struggle, she spoke, "Tian Yang, I will give you all of my spiritual energy. I know it won't do much besides a moment of relief, but I want to help you in any way possible."
Tian Yang wasn't stupid enough to refuse, and he was willing to accept anything at this point.
"Okay."
In the following moment, Huang Xiao Li pressed her lips against Tian Yang, transferring her spiritual energy to him through their mouths.
While she could've transferred her spiritual energy through other methods, it was the most effective to do so through the mouth.
Even though this would be Huang Xiao Li's first kiss, she didn't hesitate for a second.
When Huang Chen saw his daughter kissing Tian Yang, he pretended to not notice and tried his best to keep a poker face.
However, his wife had a different idea. Following her daughter's action, she kissed Huang Chen and transferred her spiritual energy to him.
Because of their actions, Tian Yang and Huang Chen received another hour of flight time.
A few hours later, right as Tian Yang was on the verge of running out of spiritual energy, he noticed a small island on the horizon.
"It's an island!" he exclaimed in excitement.
Using what little spiritual energy he had left, Tian Yang soared towards the island with Huang Chen following behind.
Upon landing on the island, Tian Yang immediately collapsed on the ground and lost consciousness.
"Tian Yang?!" Huang Xiao Li was startled by this.
"Don't worry, he's just exhausted." Huang Chen said after checking his condition.
He proceeded to sit down and began cultivating to restore his spiritual energy, even creating an array around them to further speed up the recovery process.
Tian Yang would not wake up for the next three days.
Meanwhile, after recovering enough spiritual energy, Huang Chen investigated the island.
The island was exceptionally small, measuring seven miles in diameter on one side and five miles on the other. There was nothing but trees and grass throughout the entire island.
While the island may be empty, Huang Chen was relieved to know that there was no danger on it, allowing him to cultivate with a peaceful mind.bender
Over the next three days, Huang Xiao Li and Huang Chen would take turns watching over Tian Yang. As for the mother, she had to take care of their boy, who was less than ten years old.
While the others may not require sustenance as cultivators, the young boy was too inexperienced and had not initiated his cultivation yet. Fortunately, his mother had food stored in her spatial ring just for emergencies.
Three days later, Tian Yang slowly opened his eyes, feeling as though he'd just woken up after collapsing from overwork.
"Tian Yang! Are you okay?! How do you feel?!" Huang Xiao Li rushed over when she noticed his awakening.
He sat up and looked around with a somewhat dazed face before asking, "How long have I been asleep?"
"Three days," she replied.
