"How long was I unconscious"
The light inside the cabin was gentle, casting a soft glow on Tai Yin's somewhat dazed handsome face.
The mark between the eyebrows is now just a faint red trace, and it will fade away soon.
“The Candle Dragon opened one eye, then closed it again,” said Xiang Bei, sitting in the stern.
He was so imposingly built that just sitting there, he took up half the cabin. With his world-renowned halberd laid across his lap, his legs couldn't even stretch out straight.

This cramped cabin now felt even more constricted.
Tai Yin is injured, he can't be squeezed by others, he can only squeeze himself.
"A day and a night..." Tai Yin murmured, carefully examining his physical condition, feeling the restored state of his body back to its peak. Naturally knowing that Xiang Bei had used precious medicine to save him.
He closed his eyes and sighed, "What a stunning shot."
“Indeed, that was beyond my expectations.” Xiang Bei said.

He was wiping the blade of his spear with a piece of velvet while he spoke, his head bowed.
The mighty and powerful man moved with remarkable gentleness at this moment.
Tai Yin quietly felt for a moment, opened her eyes, and the scene of the transoceanic shot vanished from her mind.
He roughly recalled how he got shot.
Then he asked, "How can we escape"

Xiangbei spoke in his usual tone: "I lost the Huashan jade pendant."
He simply stated a fact calmly.

There was no complaint about Tae In being shot down, nor any consolation in her tone.
This is a simple example of how to use HTML tags in text.The `
` tag defines a paragraph.
He asked Tai Yin to come, and he accepted all the consequences that followed. That's all there is to it.
Tai Yin pondered for a moment, then only said, "Then we need to get our hands on a new jade tablet as soon as possible."
Though shot by a stranger, he showed no signs of despair. Instead, he immediately began to think about his next move.
Everyone will win.
Every individual hailed as a "prodigy" has always won from a young age, racking up countless victories.
Everyone knows how to face victory.

But not everyone knows how to face failure.
Therefore, sometimes failure can better reveal the true colors of so-called prodigies.
"Yes, or else we wouldn't be able to withstand the pouring rain and would definitely be eliminated." Xiangbei said.
Tai Yin directly asked, “Which piece”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But in fact, both he and Xiangbei knew that this issue wasn't very meaningful.

At the end of the day, their choices were limited.
Items like Dou Zhao's Xì Sòng Jade Bi, Zhōng Lí Yán's Shè Jiāng Jade Bi, and Wǔ Líng's Chōu Sī Jade Bi, there is no possibility of them being contested.
“Can you find Chu Yu and Xiao Shu” Xiang Bei asked very practically.
"It depends on fate." Tai Yin shook his head. "My seven-star compass can only store a trace for a while."
Item Bei nodded in understanding.
Combinations like Chu Yu and Xiao Shu, who are universally recognized as the weakest in the whole arena, would definitely hide their tracks immediately and wouldn't easily appear.
And Tai Yin's this seven-star compass, previously stored Jiang Wang's traces, later because of fear, it also stored the traces of the calamity king beast.
...Doom Beast.
He suddenly remembered something.
"I couldn't help but ask, "When you met Jiang Wang before, was he alone Had Zuo Guangshu left by then"
"Right!" Taiyin also suddenly realized.
When Jiang Wang was being chased by the horde of monsters, he was all alone.
With Jiang Wang's strength ultimately being easily solved by Houdou, how could Zuo Guangshu, who was clearly inferior, be spared
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As the key to opening the Shanhaijing, the Jiuzhang Jade Tablet will never leave before the Shanhaijing closes.
If we say that both Zuo Guangshu and Jiang Wang have already left...
Then where would the Citrus Odes Jade Bi be
It must be at the last place where these two left.
“Let’s go to where Jiang Wang's traces disappeared!” Tai Yin immediately said.
The cramped compartment where they were hiding was none other than the secret treasure of the Xiang clan, capable of moving through mountains and water. It was adept at concealing itself, and could both hide and travel with ease. Furthermore, it could split mountains and earth as if traversing through water.
Since the realm of mountains and seas is filled with many floating mountains and large islands, this treasure is summoned for that reason.
As soon as Tai Yin's voice fell, Xiang Bei had already manipulated the Chenshan Shuttle to turn.
In the murky depths of the sea, towering mountain ranges lurking in shadows, like a slumbering behemoth.
At a certain moment, the dark rocks parted. A pitch-black mountain-piercing ship emerged with ease. This scene resembled fish swimming, showing no awkwardness whatsoever.
The part of the hull that came into contact with seawater instantly turned the color of seawater. Swimming into the dense seaweed, it became the color of the seaweed again. Passing through the tall coral reefs, it turned blood red.
The entire mountain pass was constantly changing colors, always blending seamlessly with the environment, incredibly intricate.
After fleeing with Taigen, Xiangbei took advantage of the power of Chuan Shan Shu to delve deep into this underwater mountain range, thereby evading any possible pursuit.
This treasure vessel, known as Chanshan, is quite at ease even in the water. It moves gracefully and naturally, without any ripples, but its speed is not slow.
Whenever a giant beast appears, it stands still.
So it stopped and went, finally leaving the seabed and leaping onto the surface, flying toward the location Tai Yin remembered.
Free from the constraints of water, she moves through the mountains even faster than lightning.
But under Xiang Bei's control, it did not soar high, only flying close to the sea surface.
In the cabin, Tai Yin had long since taken out the sound-dampening formation disk.
It moves through the mountains silently and effortlessly, blending seamlessly with its surroundings. If it weren't constantly moving at high speed, it would hardly need to worry about being detected.
The directions in the Shan Hai Jing are incredibly chaotic. Besides during specific times, it is nearly impossible to determine your direction in any way. However, for Tai Yin who possesses the Seven Star Compass, tracking down already explored areas would not pose a significant challenge.
Every person who passes leaves a trace, and every event that departs leaves a mark.
In Tai Yin's eyes, nothing could escape his scrutiny.
Even the Dao of Formations, in his view, was merely a modification of the traces of heaven and earth—this was, of course, a counter-argument. As is widely known, the Dao of Formations derives from human Dao to transcend to Heaven's Dao, it is cultivators' harnessing and utilization of the power of heaven and earth.
If Tai Yin were to publicly espouse such ideas, the staunchly traditionalist Tai clan would be the first to object. Therefore, he has always kept them to himself.
The Azure Dragon took "Trust," the Vermillion Bird took "Virtue," the Black Tortoise took "Benevolence," and the White Tiger took "Killing." These four characters were his chosen path, within the framework set by the sages, considered quite conventional.
In the past, Uncle Taihua took this path, and in the end, he became a true immortal, revitalizing the prestige of the Tai clan.
This should naturally be a glorious path.
The principles he lived by remained unchanged.
But he couldn't deceive his own heart. The most genuine part of him had never been touched. The path he wanted to take had never been reached.
Therefore, although the fourth floor stood for a long time, it never reached the pinnacle of the Dao.
Now, he was brought down by an unknown nobody.

Is it time for a change
The weight of a family is heavier than mountains.
>
Such a difficult sect to survive, how could it tolerate someone shaking its foundation
After about two hours of flight, Chuanshan Shuo had already arrived at the location where the Six Paths of Hell Formation had been set up.
Xiang Bei displayed an extraordinary level of caution. He maneuvered the Chuan Shan Suo, first diving into the water from a distance and slowly approaching the target location underwater. After carefully observing and confirming that everything was safe, he and Tai Yin emerged from the cabin and began searching for the Ju Song Jade Bi, which might have been lost nearby.

But this was clearly in vain.
No matter how hard they tried, no matter how carefully they went about it, no matter what methods they used, in the end they came up empty-handed.
“After death in the Shanhaijing, would the body be moved away by the rules of the Shanhaijing Or would it remain in the Shanhaijing, exposed to the wind and sun, consumed by strange beasts” Tai Yin asked.
"Generally speaking, at the moment of death in battle, the body will be moved away. Only the Nine Chapters Jade Disk will remain." Xiang Bei said.
"Indeed..." Tai Yin mused, "There wouldn't be conclusive evidence left for you to judge the truth of this realm."
"The truth of the Shan Hai Jing, if it were so easy to determine, people wouldn't be arguing about it. " Xiang Bei said in a calm voice, "But whether it's real or not doesn't affect the harvest, so there's no need to worry too much. At least the three-tenths of the soul source that are cut off after death are real."
Tai Yin thought for a moment, and then asked: "Will Ju Song Yu Bi be taken away by the Calamity Is there any possibility that Jiu Zhang Yu Bi has been lost from Shan Hai Jing"
"It's not impossible that the Nine Chapters Jade Tablet was taken by the calamity, it has its own peculiarity, it wouldn't be strange if it was targeted by strange beasts." Xiang Bei said: "But after the journey to the Shan Hai realm ends, each piece of the Nine Chapters Jade Tablet will eventually return to where it originally came from. For example, my Whispering Sand Jade Tablet will return to the Xiang family, waiting for the next activation."
Tai Yin sighed: "Knowing that the jade bi will eventually return to its rightful owner is truly a comforting thought. Unfortunately, we need one right now."
"There's no other choice but to think of other ways." Xiangbei asked, "How are you recovering Can you still set up formations"
Seeing Tai Yin remain silent for half a day, as if deep in thought, he couldn't help but ask again, "Tai Yin"
Tai Yin came to his senses and said, "Since you've given me all your best medicinal herbs, there's naturally no problem."
However, since the Ju Songyu Bi could have been taken away by the Calamity King Beast...
He pondered for a moment, then took out the seven-star compass: "I have traces of it here, and you have the ability to travel through mountains. Why don't we go take a look"
"Where to..." Xiangbei hesitated for a moment before saying, "Are you serious"
>
How terrifying is the calamity beast, Wudou Wang
Once serious, even someone as strong as Jiang Wang would vanish without a trace, failing to exit.
And the other party also has a large army with them.
Xiang Bei didn't think that by teaming up with Tai Yin, they could hold out for several more rounds.
Tai Yin's thoughts were already clear. He spoke slowly, "Our choices are not many now. If we don't give it our all now, when the time comes, there won't even be a chance to fight."
> Xiang Bei, who was always brave and arrogant, was now the more cautious one. The more he lost, the further he had nothing, the less willing he was to go red-eyed: "It's not a matter of fighting or not fighting now, but what we have to fight against the calamity with If we collide head-on, neither of us can survive a single round."
“We’re only here to find the Jujube Jade Disc, not to fight the Calamity Beast,” Tai Yin said calmly. “We’ll locate its lair and use the Mountain Shuttle to get close. Once we have the jade disc, we leave. Since this Calamity Beast is capable of hunting for the first time, it will definitely come out again. We can make good use of this gap.”
Besides, the lair of the Calamity is also the only stronghold we currently have control over. We've already contacted the Calamity and understand their fighting style and capabilities. So why not go take a look at the situation
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Compared to other unfamiliar monster lairs, the Hado's lair is a less risky choice.
Even if they didn't bring the Jizhong Jade Bi back, perhaps we could still find the gains of this trip there.
Then Bei looked at Tai Yin again, as if he had only just noticed his gambling nature.
Tai Yin's points were clear and logical, but they seemed to completely overlook the cunning and power of the Calamity Beast.
After some thought, he spoke in a low voice: "What you said about the harvest is not true. Without the jade disc, we can't take anything away."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
“We can cooperate with people, contribute a little benefit, and share the light of jade bi with others. We can even buy jade bi, and then someone will definitely be eliminated, while some people will have more jade bi in their hands. When we are about to end our journey in the Shan Hai Realm, having more jade bi is redundant, and no one would mind selling it at a good price… Of course, we also always reserve the possibility of seizing jade bi.”
Tai Yin said: "In short, after we have a harvest, everything else will be easy to discuss."
"In a place like the Shan Hai Realm, your gains may not necessarily be yours. The premise of the deal is strength, not what you gain. This isn't Chu or Xia; the rules of the mortal world don't apply here." Calmly, Xiang Bei, his thoughts clear and gaze sharp, said, "Tai Yin, you are getting ahead of yourself."
Someone who can afford to have extra jade bi (a type of ancient Chinese ornament) must be someone powerful. Why would they even bother talking to you Your gains are nothing compared to what they could take from you.
“If you have a better idea, listen to yours. If not, listen to mine. Okay” Tai Yin said to Xiang Bei with an unprecedentedly serious expression: “My country, my family, they all need me to do better. Today, I don’t want to leave empty-handed.”
He sensed Xiang Bei's retreat, knowing that the loss of three-tenths of his soul essence was a burden Xiang Bei couldn't bear.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
But he also knew that Xiang Bei would be the one who could understand his feelings best.
The deaths of Zhenjun Xianglongxiang and Zhenren Taihua inflicted similar wounds on their respective families, and the impact on the two individuals was also comparable.
Like suffers with like, therefore they come together.
He would also question himself inwardly, using the way of poking at scars to influence his friends' choices. What kind of terrible person would do such a thing
>
But the final answer, was there was no other choice.
He can't just leave like that.
Xiang Bei grasped the蓋世戟 (Gaìshì jǐ), and said, "Good. I'll go with you."
High above, a bird with a blood-red crown rides the wind.
>
With wings spread wide, it resembles a drooping cloud.
A patch of moving shadows passed over an island beneath the cage.
This is a volcanic island.
Sometimes volcanic eruptions occur, and black smoke rises straight into the sky above the islands.
A succession of lava pools, nestled on an island dominated by black stone, stands out remarkably.
The ubiquitous harbingers of doom, whether lying in wait or standing tall, are naturally not beyond its piercing gaze.
The Bloodcrow stood a little shorter, its talons twitching hungrily.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
From all corners of the mountains, canine-shaped demons leaped out, roaring in unison!
The Blood Crowned Bird suddenly stopped its dive, but it seemed still unwilling to give up, circling above the island.
At that moment, from the heart of the tallest volcano, a three-headed demon emerged from the erupting lava. It moved with grace, but its presence was menacing. It glared coldly at the giant bird.

The blood-crowned bird flew sullenly high into the sky, flapping its wings and disappeared.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The myriad calamities on the mountain called out again, for their king in a daze.
All the lava pools were boiling —
Besides the volcanic lake on the mountainside of the main peak.
Just a short while after fulfilling his feeding duty, Jiang, still sporting bruises and lying on the magma, grumbled and plugged his ears before rolling over in the scalding heat.
