Chapter 1193: Ominous Divination!
Tang Li Xue and her team did not even have time to refine the [Flame Essence Crystals] they had obtained yet.
Tang Li Xue took back the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] into her sea of consciousness and left the volcano with Little Loki, Yaya, Xi’er, and Lucia.
As for her perfect copy, Tang Li Xue let her stay in the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] to refine the [Flame Essence Crystals].
Fully mastering the Profound Law of Fire was very important for Tang Li Xue because it could boost her strength much more greatly compared to the other Profound Laws, since Tang Li Xue’s most powerful offensive abilities for now were on her fire element abilities, such as Flame of Pride and Golden Sun Flame.
Tang Li Xue also let her martial soul, [Imperial Frost Wyrm], practice diligently inside the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda].
The [Imperial Frost Wyrm] was currently relying too much on its [Frost Dragon Breath] in Tang Li Xue’s opinion.
Surely, the [Frost Dragon Breath] was cool and powerful, but its other skills, such as [Absolute Zero Water], [Water Control], [Ice Control], [Water and Ice Clones], and [Size Shifting Transformation], also had great potential to be developed further.
In short, [Imperial Frost Wyrm] still needed a lot of practice to control all of its powerful abilities perfectly, like controlling its own limbs.
Tang Li Xue, Little Loki, Yaya, and Xi’er rode on Lucia’s back.
Lucia jumped out from the volcano, flapped her wings, and soared into the sky at a breakneck speed.
They instantly headed to the edge of the Flying Island.
Tang Li Xue glanced upward worriedly and stared at the gloomy sky covered in black clouds.
She could clearly see lightning and thunder flashing from time to time.
Before she set off from the volcano with the others, Tang Li Xue used the [Divination] ability from her ring necklace, which had already become her daily habit.
The divination result was actually quite worrying...
[Your luck for today is ominous!]
[It is not advisable for you to go out or travel today. Try to avoid doing anything risky as much as possible. If you are not careful, you may encounter many mishaps, even face life-threatening dangers!]
"Ominous luck, huh... This is the first time I have gotten a divination this bad. The worst I have gotten before is only below average." Tang Li Xue muttered in a worried tone.
Previously, Tang Li Xue also used the [Divination] ability before she fought against the [Three-Headed Magma Eater], and the result was actually below average luck.
It said she would face a small setback, but it would be life-threatening.
Then just like it was said... Not only did she fail to use Shuang’er to easily defeat the [Three-Headed Magma Eater] because Shuang’er had fallen into a deep sleep, but the [Three-Headed Magma Eater] even managed to evolve into the [Purple-Patterned Magma Eater], which increased the difficulty several times.
Tang Li Xue really wanted to postpone their departure until her luck turned better, but unfortunately, it was not possible.
Tang Li Xue took out the detailed map book given by the Bookkeeper from her space pouch and examined their route carefully.
When Tang Li Xue opened the detailed map book, a 3D map projection appeared right above the book.
Tang Li Xue tapped her slender finger on the 3D map projection, and the place she tapped zoomed in closer.
"Urgh... Just like what I have calculated. If we don’t leave this Flying Island today, then we will miss the Isolated Jade Island. If we miss the Isolated Jade Island, it would be much more troublesome for us to reach the Western Tropic Ocean." Tang Li Xue spoke in a frustrated tone while rubbing her forehead helplessly.
In short, they had to get off the Flying Island today, whether they liked it or not in order to reach the Isolated Jade Island.
If they missed it even one day, then they had to fly or swim back to find their way back to the Isolated Jade Island.
Miss Bookkeeper already warned Tang Li Xue before that the oceans were completely different than the rivers or lakes.
The oceans were the territory of the strongest beast race, the Sea Beast Race!
Swimming in the ocean or flying on top of the ocean was like intruding into their territory, which would offend the Sea Beast Race.
So, the safest way for Tang Li Xue’s team to travel across the ocean was by boarding the ships.
Then why could fishing boats, merchant ships, and so on travel safely on the oceans, which were the territory of the Sea Beast Race?
The main reason was because those people had paid tributes to the Sea Beast Race every year.
In turn, the Sea Beast Race gave them something like a coral totem, which should be put on their ships.
The coral totem worked like an identification card, so the Sea Beast Race could sense it, and they would not block their way or attack the ship with the coral totem.
"So, entering the ocean without a coral totem means we have become illegal immigrants, which will be caught or even attacked by the Sea Beast Race." Tang Li Xue sighed in frustration.
Not to mention, even without the threat from the Sea Beast Race, it would not be easy for them to enter the Isolated Jade Island from the outside.
Just from its name, anyone could tell that the Isolated Jade Island was an isolated place.
It was an island with abundant jade mines, and they were not ordinary jades, but various of rare and precious spirit jades!
How could they let any strangers enter such a precious place, right?
The true owner of this Isolated Jade Island was one of the powerhouses from the Central Continent, so it would be best for them not to make any trouble there and attract any unwanted attention from that Central Continent’s powerhouse.
Tang Li Xue called everyone and began to explain it to them: "This Flying Island will pass right above the Isolated Jade Island today."
"Our main objective is to get off the Flying Island and secretly enter the Isolated Jade Island."
"Then after that we will... Uhh, we will see what we can do after we successfully sneak into the Isolated Jade Island." Tang Li Xue ended her speech.
Xi’er and Lucia nodded in understanding, while Yaya and Little Loki looked lazy and sleepy as usual.
They actually had to find a ship that would cross the Western Tropic Ocean and head to the Endless Tides Continent after they reached the Isolated Jade Island, but it was easier said than done.
They clearly could not just shout: "Hey, is there any ship heading to the Endless Tides Continent? Can we hike your ship, please~!"
Tang Li Xue shook her head helplessly and put that matter to the back of her mind for now.
Tang Li Xue suddenly remembered that her perfect copy had promised to call Lu Xingchen so they could leave the Flying Island together.
Tang Li Xue decided to call Lu Xingchen and bring him with her because she hoped Lu Xingchen’s protagonist-like good luck could neutralize her bad luck today.
Tang Li Xue stored the detailed map book given by the Bookkeeper back into her space pouch and took out her Communication Talisman instead.
Tang Li Xue infused her spiritual energy into the Communication Talisman and used it to contact Lu Xingchen.
"Junior Sister Li, is it time for us to leave the Flying Island?" Lu Xingchen’s cheerful, masculine voice came out from the Communication Talisman.
"Yes, we will get off the Flying Island today, Young Master Lu. We will meet in the south of the Flying Island." Tang Li Xue replied in a nonchalant tone to Lu Xingchen.
Lu Xingchen: "....."
"What is wrong, Young Master Lu?" Tang Li Xue asked after Lu Xingchen fell silent for a few moments.
"No... It is nothing. Do not worry, Miss Tang. I will head to the south of the Flying Island right now." Lu Xingchen replied in a serious tone before he hung up the call.
Tang Li Xue frowned a bit because she felt Lu Xingchen did not treat her as enthusiastically as before.
But she did not think too much about it in the end, since she worried about her ominous bad luck the most right now.
Tang Li Xue did not even realize that Lu Xingchen had begun to treat her and her perfect copy differently.
When Lu Xingchen was with Tang Li Xue, they called each other Young Master Lu and Miss Tang.
However, when Lu Xingchen was with Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy, they called each other Senior Brother Xing and Junior Sister Li.
Anyway, Tang Li Xue probably would not care much even if she knew about it, since she did not have any romantic feelings for Lu Xingchen.
It did not take long for Lucia to reach the southern edge of the Flying Island with her speed.
When they reached the southern edge of the Flying Island, they immediately touched the natural barrier that covered the entire Flying Island.
Tang Li Xue had already secretly put Wind Mark on Lu Xingchen, so she knew that Lu Xingchen would also arrive really soon.
Tang Li Xue did not want Lu Xingchen to see Little Loki used its [Heaven’s Devour], so she instructed Little Loki to use its [Heaven’s Devour] to make a hole in the natural barrier right before Lu Xingchen came.
Little Loki opened its tiny mouth widely and unleashed its [Heaven’s Devour].
The natural barrier in front of them trembled violently, and a small part of it was actually distorted and sucked into Little Loki’s mouth!
After Little Loki ended its [Heaven’s Devour], there was a ten-meter hole in the natural barrier in front of them!
But the ten-meter hole began to shrink rapidly, and it would probably be completely closed in a few more breaths.
Right at this time, Lu Xingchen came while riding on his flying sword.
