The ship had been anchored at sea for a night, and the commotion had lasted just as long. People had been boarding and disembarking continuously.
Qin Ran lay on the ship, hearing everything clearly. He knew the people on board were searching that desolate island... even more thoroughly than when he had searched it, probably truly digging three feet deep.
It wasn't until daybreak that things finally quieted down.
When the first ray of morning light shone through the window into the narrow room, someone pushed open the door.
The visitor stood in front of the narrow bed, scrutinizing Qin Ran.
Qin Ran could feel it clearly - the person's gaze was arrogant, looking him up and down, examining him inch by inch.
He also knew who this person was. That powerful aura, that sharp blade-like presence - it must be the female cultivator who had fiercely battled the monster fish last night - Tie Ruonan.
But he showed no reaction, pretending to be asleep, knowing nothing.
The narrow room remained silent for a long time, until the air seemed to solidify with Tie Ruonan's presence. Finally, a thick and hoarse female voice spoke, asking, "Who exactly are you?"
Knowing the question was directed at him, Qin Ran realized pretending to be asleep was useless. He stopped feigning and opened his eyes, looking towards the source of the voice.
At the doorway, leaning against the door, stood a female cultivator... indeed a female cultivator, although she was unbelievably strong, with arms that could rival his legs in size.
If one ignored her dark complexion, her features could be considered quite proper.
Qin Ran got up from the bed... His injuries, under his deliberate control, had already recovered considerably, as if he had truly been injured and then taken some medicinal pills.
He sat up on the bed, leaning against the wall, and smiled slightly at Tie Ruonan, saying, "I am Li Feiyu."
Tie Ruonan's eyebrows furrowed: "Your real name!"
Qin Ran's eyes were full of sincerity as he replied, "I never change my name or surname. I am indeed called Li Feiyu."
Tie Ruonan's blade-sharp eyes stared at Qin Ran for a good while. Seeing Qin Ran's unwavering smile, she asked again, "Where are you from?"
"Little Bamboo Peak," Qin Ran stuck to his story from last night.
"I'm asking you which sea region, which island you're from!!" Tie Ruonan's voice grew heavier.
Which sea region? Which island?
Not a sect, not a country, not some place, but some island.
Could it be that this place had no continents, only islands in the vast ocean?
These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, but Qin Ran maintained his smile and sincere expression, saying, "Hainan Island."
"Hmph!" Upon hearing this, Tie Ruonan stopped wasting words. She reached behind her back and drew a large sword out of thin air. Pointing the sword at Qin Ran, her voice as cold as the blade, she said, "Nothing but lies, not a single truth from your mouth!"
"I'll ask you again, who are you? Where are you from? What are you doing here? Was the spatial disturbance caused by you?!" She channeled her power, causing cold light to flow along the blade. "If you don't tell the truth, I'll cleave you in two with one stroke!"
"The spatial disturbance was probably caused by me..." Qin Ran smiled, not intimidated by Tie Ruonan in the slightest. He met her gaze, remained silent for a moment, then asked, "If I told you that during the array transmission, my mind was injured and I lost most of my memories - that I don't know where I came from, don't know where this is, don't know what I'm supposed to do - would you believe me?"
"Once a transmission array is activated, if there's even the slightest problem midway, you'd have been reduced to ashes!" Tie Ruonan retorted. "Do you think I'd believe that?"
Seeing that Tie Ruonan's sword hadn't immediately cleaved him, Qin Ran understood. She was trying to scare him; she didn't actually want to kill him.
He replied, "Luck is a strange thing, hard to predict."
Tie Ruonan looked Qin Ran up and down again, taking in his slender frame, and asked, "You managed to survive the spatial turbulence. What's your cultivation level?"
"Gold..." Qin Ran suddenly caught himself, changing his words mid-sentence, "I've just entered the world of cultivation."
This place was very different from the Lingnan Region; he had to be cautious.
"Just entered the world of cultivation, first rank?" Tie Ruonan sneered, "Then your luck really is good."
But Qin Ran's low cultivation level also put her more at ease.
"You don't look like a body cultivator..." she continued, "But your mind was injured during the transmission, and you still survived. Could you be a mind cultivator?"
Impressive, body cultivators, mind cultivators - the cultivation system had indeed changed. Qin Ran was secretly shocked. Where on earth had he been transmitted to?!
But he understood the implication and replied to Tie Ruonan, "I am a mind cultivator."
His primordial spirit avatar was primarily based on the primordial spirit, so he wasn't lying.
"A mind cultivator?" Tie Ruonan's attitude visibly became more respectful. She withdrew her sword, holding it in her hand, and said, "Even if you're a mind cultivator, you're still only first rank. What could you possibly do in the Tianlan Sea Region?" It seemed that mind cultivators held a high status...
"So I've only reached the Tianlan Sea Region?" he asked with surprise.
"Only reached the Tianlan Sea Region?" Tie Ruonan laughed coldly, "The Tianlan Sea Region is already the border region of the Celestial Sea Realm! Where else did you want to go? Were you planning to enter the neighboring Demon Region?"
Celestial Sea Realm?
So he had arrived at the Celestial Sea Realm.
This name rang a bell for Qin Ran. He remembered seeing it on the map he had found, in the lower left corner.
However, between the Celestial Sea Realm and the Lingnan Region, there was still the Demon Region. He never imagined he would be transmitted to the Celestial Sea Realm.
He had crossed an entire Demon Region!!
"Although I can't remember where I was supposed to go, I feel it wasn't the Tianlan Sea Region," Qin Ran shook his head and said solemnly, "I'm afraid there was a deviation in the transmission array."
"Afraid?" Tie Ruonan stated with certainty, "Your transmission array must have deviated! Because transmission arrays almost never make mistakes, let alone injure people. And yours even damaged your mind... tsk!"
Transmission arrays don't make mistakes? Tie Ruonan's tone was so certain... It seemed that the Celestial Sea Realm must have great achievements in arrays, or at least in transmission arrays.
Qin Ran pondered, proposing a guess: "Could it be that someone tampered with my transmission array?"
"That, I don't know..." Tie Ruonan shook her head, sliding her sword behind her back where it instantly disappeared.
She spoke as she walked towards the door: "When we get back to Dragon Whale Island, you can seek out a qi cultivator for pills to treat your primordial spirit. Once your primordial spirit is healed, you might recover your memories."
Qi cultivator? Primordial spirit?
Qin Ran was starting to grasp the cultivation system of the Celestial Sea Realm. Mind cultivators, qi cultivators, and body cultivators corresponded to primordial spirit, magical power, and physical body respectively.
"Seek pills?" he asked Tie Ruonan with surprise, "I think I remember that I can refine pills myself."
He needed to show some bargaining chips to gain more.
At this point, Tie Ruonan had just reached the doorway. Hearing this, she suddenly turned around, staring at Qin Ran, and exclaimed, "Refine pills, qi cultivator?! Are you a dual cultivator?! Mind and qi dual cultivation?!!"
"Probably!" Qin Ran frowned and shook his head, "My mind isn't very clear, I just feel like I can refine pills."
Tie Ruonan stared at Qin Ran for a long time, then laughed meaningfully before turning to leave.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
