The flying shuttle’s speed was hundreds of times slower than when they had arrived. According to the Fifth Elder, it was to let Lu Yang and the others enjoy the scenery in the sky.
Even so, the flying shuttle still surpassed one flying boat after another, its speed so fast that it made the hearts of Lu Yang and his companions tremble, leaving them without the courage to look at the scenery outside.
“Maybe we should just cultivate. It’s a cultivator’s duty to cultivate,” Li Haoran suggested shakily, raising his hand.
The Fifth Elder thought about it and felt that these youngsters were quite diligent. “Alright, do you need me to activate the Spirit Gathering Array?”
Lu Yang confidently waved his hand, “No need, I’ve just learned a primitive divine ability that can gather all the surrounding spiritual qi. It can replace the Spirit Gathering Array.”
The Fifth Elder was quite surprised, not expecting such a divine ability to exist. Was it taught by Yun Zhi?
Lu Yang proudly lifted his chin and opened his mouth, displaying the Glutton clan’s primitive grand divine ability—Swallow the Heavens—and immediately, a continuous stream of spiritual qi gathered around him.
The concentration of spiritual qi around them surged in an instant.
“Is there really such a miraculous divine ability?” The Fifth Elder, experienced and knowledgeable, recognized the extraordinary nature of this divine ability at a glance. This divine ability consumed almost no spiritual power, was much cheaper than a Spirit Gathering Array, and its effect was nearly the same, without any geographical restrictions, allowing cultivation anytime, anywhere!
It just looked a bit unseemly, with the head tilted back and mouth open, like a divine dog howling at the moon.
However, as cultivators, they should prioritize cultivation over appearances.
Meng Jingzhou also recognized the power of this divine ability and approached to ask, “How do you cultivate this divine ability? Can you teach me?”
Li Haoran and Yun Zhi also looked eagerly at Lu Yang, clearly wanting to learn this technique.
“Sure, sure,” Lu Yang said generously, and after getting the approval of the Immortal Fairy, he taught them the mental technique and key points of this ability.
“Learn it slowly when we get back, let’s cultivate first,” Lu Yang said, and then opened his mouth to gather spiritual qi.
…
“Halt, don’t run away!”
“How dare you act lawlessly within the Great Xia territory, thinking it’s still your Great Yu Dynasty!”
“Damn Great Xia, nothing but usurpers seizing power, and yet so brazen!”
Three streaks of light chased each other in the sky, one ahead, desperately trying to shake off the two behind.
He was a peak Body Fusion cultivator from the Great Yu Dynasty, who chose to sleep at his peak to await the great conflicts of the future.
He wasn’t supposed to awaken now. According to the plan, the national teacher would wake them up one by one.
However, his resting place was discovered by some short-sighted cultivators who thought they had found a great opportunity. Excitedly digging, they ultimately broke his slumber.
Enraged, he killed those cultivators.
Little did he expect that this act would alarm the local headhunter, who, seeing his fierce approach, immediately contacted his superiors. The imperial capital sent two Body Fusion cultivators to capture him.
The reason for the capture was the ridiculous charge of intentional murder.
He, a mighty Body Fusion cultivator, killing a few minor cultivators was nothing significant, merely an excuse to capture him.
In his view, the Great Yu Dynasty was at its zenith, unifying the Central Continent without rivals, with the momentum to swallow mountains and rivers, and its destiny seemed eternal.
But the national teacher still believed that no dynasty lasts forever. Even the ancient times had their end, and the Great Yu Dynasty, no matter how strong, could not surpass the ancient era with its four Immortals. The Great Yu Dynasty would not be eternal.
The only way to extend the Great Yu Dynasty’s destiny was to revive it in the new dynasty era, to use the conflicts of the great era to re-establish the Great Yu Dynasty and continue its destiny!
He shook his head, putting these thoughts aside for now. The most important thing was to shake off the pursuit of these two.
The two Great Xia cultivators frowned deeply, the opponent’s speed was astonishing, ranking in the top ten among those in the Body Fusion stage. Even using speed talismans, they were still slower.
One of the cultivators caught a glimpse of a familiar flying shuttle.
“Old Chu, you keep chasing, I’ll find some help.”
Old Chu didn’t understand the timing for seeking help, but he trusted his companion’s judgment and nodded, “Okay.”
…
The Great Xia cultivator knocked on the flying shuttle, and the Fifth Elder opened the hatch to let him in.
Upon entering, the Great Xia cultivator saw Lu Yang with his mouth open to the sky, Meng Jingzhou and the other two forming a triangle around him, all four sitting in meditation, creating a rather eerie atmosphere.
Was this the latest cultivation method of the Seek Tao Sect?
Never mind, now was not the time to think about this. The Great Xia cultivator saw the Fifth Elder standing with his hands behind his back, his eyes lighting up with joy.
A savior indeed.
“Ha ha, Zhou Xin, I knew this flying shuttle was yours!”
The Fifth Elder turned his head, looking at the other party with a wary expression, “Yu Qian, my flying shuttle wasn’t speeding, what do you want with me?”
With an unfamiliar cultivator appearing, and one known to the Fifth Elder, Lu Yang and the others slowly opened their eyes, curious about the situation.The Fifth Elder casually introduced, “This is a constable from the Great Xia Dynasty, Yu Qian. Back when I used to speed on my flying shuttle, he would chase after me every day, issuing me tickets. Later, when I didn’t speed as much, he stopped chasing me.”
Lu Yang’s eyelid twitched. When the Fifth Elder was speeding on his flying shuttle, his cultivation level was at least at the Divine Transformation stage. This constable Yu Qian, being from the same era as the Fifth Elder, must also have a high cultivation level. Even as a constable, he must be a big shot like the Chief Constable of the imperial city.
Yu Qian, veins throbbing with anger, retorted, “Nonsense! What do you mean you didn’t speed as much later? It’s clear that later on, no one could catch up with you!”
“Just over half a month ago, I heard someone complaining that you were speeding on your flying shuttle again!”
Back when the Fifth Elder was young and speeding, he caused quite a bit of trouble for Yu Qian and the others. The reason Yu Qian can run so fast now is all thanks to the practice he got from chasing the Fifth Elder back then.
“You can’t just say anything you want. When did I speed again later? Do you have any evidence?”
Yu Qian was so angry he wanted to hit someone. You were speeding so fast that not even a shadow orb could capture the shadow of your flying shuttle, where would the evidence come from?
“Enough, I won’t argue with you anymore. There’s an urgent matter at hand. Do you see that person speeding ahead? He’s a cultivator from the Great Yu, catch up with him!”
Yu Qian was so irritated by the Fifth Elder that he almost forgot about the pressing issue.
“He claims to be the fastest runner during the Body Fusion stage of the Great Yu era. We can’t catch up with him.”
The Fifth Elder glanced at the swiftly running Great Yu cultivator and scoffed, “He dares to claim he’s the fastest?”
“Everyone, hold tight!”
The Fifth Elder was ready to get serious. No one had ever dared to challenge him in the domain of aerial flight.
Yu Qian breathed a sigh of relief. The Fifth Elder was quite a handful as an opponent, but as an ally, it was indeed a stroke of luck.
The second update will be around 10:30 PM.
