Leaving Zhuo Peak, Gu Sheng and Ji Yewei arrived at a coastal area.

Gu Sheng's soul originated from a place called Blue Star, where seafood was a popular delicacy. Suddenly, he had a craving for seafood.

Looking out at the vast ocean, he extended his Divine Thought, searching for treasures within the sea.

"Splash——"

The waves gently lapped against the rocks along the shore, creating rhythmic sounds. Gu Sheng and Ji Yewei stood by the seaside, their gazes piercing the shimmering waters as if they could see the secrets hidden deep beneath the waves.

"This ocean resembles the one from Blue Star," Gu Sheng murmured, a trace of nostalgia flickering in his eyes. "The seafood there—absolutely delicious."

Ji Yewei tilted her head and looked at him curiously. "How is Blue Star's seafood different from this?"

"It has a unique freshness that is incomparable," Gu Sheng replied, a sly glint flashing in his eyes. "Tonight, I'll let you have a taste of Blue Star's flavors."

With those words, he closed his eyes. His Divine Thought extended outward like countless tendrils, exploring the treasures hidden beneath the sea. Moments later, he opened his eyes, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

"Found it."

As soon as the words left his mouth, his figure vanished from the spot, leaving Ji Yewei standing stunned amidst the sea breeze.

Not even fifteen minutes passed before Gu Sheng's silhouette reappeared in Ji Yewei's view, carrying a bounty of seafood in his hands, like treasures fished out of the ocean.

"Look at these—sea cucumbers, sea snails, lobsters, stingrays, abalones, crabs, scallops…" He showed her each item in turn. Each piece looked plump and fresh, as though gifted directly by the ocean itself.

Ji Yewei's eyes lit up with delight as she gazed at the seafood. "You found all of this just now?"

"Indeed." Gu Sheng nodded with a smile. "And this is only the beginning."

Skillfully, he built a fire and began to cook the seafood. The flames danced in the twilight, illuminating his focused expression. As the seafood grilled over the fire, an enticing aroma gradually filled the air.

"Wow, it smells amazing!" Ji Yewei exclaimed, unable to hide her excitement.

Gu Sheng smiled warmly, his culinary movements fluid and practiced. "Just wait; soon, you'll experience the taste of Blue Star."

At last, a sumptuous seafood feast was laid before them. The nourishing sea cucumber, the tender sea snail, the sweet lobster, the rich stingray, the delicate abalone, the fragrant crab, and the refreshing scallop—each dish possessed distinct textures and flavors, as if telling a story about the ocean itself.

Ji Yewei savored the dishes, her eyes radiating joy. "This is incredible! I've never had seafood this delicious before!"

Watching her satisfied smile, Gu Sheng felt a deep sense of accomplishment. He raised his head to gaze at the starry sky, as though he could see the distant Blue Star smiling back at him.

The two sat around the fire, enjoying this rare moment of culinary bliss. The sea breeze blew gently, carrying the salty freshness of seawater and the enticing aroma of grilled seafood, bringing peace to their hearts.

"Gu Sheng, how did you learn these cooking skills?" Ji Yewei asked curiously.

"Back on Blue Star, I would often cook for my family," Gu Sheng reminisced. "Life there was simple, yet it was filled with warmth and happiness."

Listening to his story, Ji Yewei felt as though she could sense the warmth and beauty of that distant planet. She looked at Gu Sheng with admiration and gratitude. "Thank you for not only treating me to such delicious seafood but also for sharing a part of your past."

Gu Sheng shook his head with a gentle smile. "No, I should be thanking you. In this unfamiliar world, your company has made me feel the warmth of home once again."

Their gazes met in the glow of the firelight, speaking volumes of unspoken sentiments. As night deepened, their connection grew even closer.

Just then, a sudden gust of sea breeze carried the salty scent of the ocean and a refreshing chill. Gu Sheng stood, looking out at the vast expanse of water. "This ocean is so full of mystery and beauty. I wonder how many secrets it holds, waiting for us to uncover."

Ji Yewei rose to her feet as well, standing beside him. "Indeed, this continent is vast and boundless. So many places remain unexplored. But as long as you're by my side, I believe we can face any difficulty or challenge ahead together."

Turning to look at her, Gu Sheng's eyes gleamed with determination. "Yes, no matter how many obstacles lie ahead, we will face them hand in hand. This ocean shall be the starting point of our adventure."

Afterward, the two parted ways. Gu Sheng headed to the Demon Clan's territory at Flowers Valley.

The Holy Master of the Demon Clan, Yan Ruyu, welcomed Gu Sheng with fervent hospitality. After satisfying his hunger and thirst, Gu Sheng began his journey to the Azure Jiao King's Mystic Realm, to inspect a corpse—the remains of the Grand Completion Sacred Body.

This was the body of one who had achieved sanctity through physical cultivation. Gu Sheng hoped to study the Dao patterns within the corpse to enhance his own physical cultivation level.

"Rumble——"

As Gu Sheng stepped into Flowers Valley, the gates of the Demon Clan's Holy Land slowly opened, as if a mysterious force anticipated his arrival. Yan Ruyu, the Holy Master of the Demon Clan, personally came out to greet him, her face adorned with an enigmatic smile.

"Brother Gu, welcome to Flowers Valley." Yan Ruyu's voice was as heavenly as music, effortlessly enchanting anyone who heard it.

Gu Sheng clasped his fists as he returned the courtesy. "Thank you, Holy Master, for your kind hospitality. I have come with a request on my mind."

"Oh? Please feel free to speak, Brother Gu," Yan Ruyu said, raising an intrigued brow as she led Gu Sheng further inside.

After a satisfying meal and drinks, Gu Sheng finally revealed the true reason for his visit. "I've heard that the Azure Jiao King's Mystic Realm contains a corpse of the Grand Completion Sacred Body. Could you allow me to see it?"
