Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, the Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Peng

Mu Yunxue looked at the enormous flying ship, which was a hundred feet long, nodded slightly, and flew towards it.

She had seen this airship before outside the Golden Sun Mountain Range, so seeing it again now didn't surprise her.

After the two boarded the flying boat, Lu Yang casually tossed the control array plate to Wang Si.

Because Lu Yang now has significantly more bodyguard puppets than before, in addition to bringing Wang Da and Wang San along, he also brought Wang Si this time.

Wang Si's cultivation was the weakest, only at the Middle Golden Core, so the task of controlling the flying boat naturally fell to him.

Wang Si took the array plate, bowed to Lu Yang expressionlessly, and then turned and walked towards the array core room.

The Flowing Light Flying Boat trembled slightly, slowly changed direction, and flew towards the outside of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

Then Lu Yang looked at Mu Yunxue.

The morning breeze on the deck was quite chilly, gently blowing the stray hairs at her temples, her black hair swaying slightly in the wind.

She remained as aloof and quiet as ever, unlike Qin Huan and the others who looked around curiously, and showed no interest in the shimmering fluorescent light and intricate array patterns on the flying boat.

Lu Yang wasn't surprised. Mu Yunxue was naturally aloof; it seemed she had no other interests besides discussing Dao and cultivating.

He smiled slightly and gestured for her to join him, "Senior Sister Mu, would you like to go for a walk together?"

Mu Yunxue glanced at Lu Yang and nodded slightly. "Okay."

In fact, given Mu Yunxue's personality, she would prefer to go directly to the cultivation room to discuss the Dao right now.

She didn't know why she had agreed to Lu Yang's invitation.

Perhaps it's because I consider him a friend and don't want to reject him?

Lu Yang led Mu Yunxue into the three palaces, and Lu You smiled as he explained the situation inside the flying boat to her.

Mu Yunxue listened quietly, nodding slightly from time to time, and rarely asked any questions.

Meanwhile, the flying boat also glided across the sky, passing through the sea of clouds surrounding the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, and flew towards the Golden Sun Mountain Range.

Jing Province is located in the Eastern Domain Region, bordering Qin Province, with the Heaven Severing Mountain Range as the boundary.

The Heaven Severing Mountain Range are one of the largest mountain ranges in the Eastern Domain. They are teeming with Demon Beasts, abundant with rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and even contain the Ruins left behind by many powerful figures who have perished.

Cultivators often enter it seeking fortuitous opportunities.

Of course, in the process of seeking fortuitous opportunities, many cultivators die and their cultivation is destroyed, and most of the survivors gain nothing.

Only a few people actually encounter fortuitous opportunities within the mountains.

Deep within the Heaven Severing Mountain Range, it is said that powerful Demon Beasts equivalent to Nascent Soul True Lord also dwell.

Demon Beasts of that level can already transform into human form. As long as they don't actively reveal their Yao Qi, they are difficult to distinguish even if they stand right in front of a cultivator.

Of course, Lu Yang himself had no intention of entering the Heaven Severing Mountain Range to seek fortuitous opportunities.

He doesn't lack these things.

He planned to cross the Heaven Severing Mountain Range and head directly to Jing Province.

The straight-line distance from the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect to Jing Province is approximately hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

Even with Flowing Light Flying Boat, it would still take several days to arrive.

This is assuming nothing unexpected happens on the road.

If an accident occurs on the way, it will take even longer.

It took Lu Yang and Mu Yunxue about half an hour to give the flying boat a quick tour inside and out.

The two were standing by the window on the top floor.

The sun had risen considerably, and the chill in the morning breeze had mostly dissipated. The fluorescent lights shimmering on the deck were softened by the sunlight.

Then Mu Yunxue turned to look at Lu Yang, her Lu Yang filled with anticipation. "Discussing the Dao?"

Lu Yang smiled helplessly, took out the "Azure Wood Transformation Instruction" and the "Azure Wood Longevity Art," and waved them in front of her. "Not today, I need to take a look at these two Cultivation Method first."

Mu Yunxue glanced at the Cultivation Method, a faint hint of confusion flashing in her eyes. "Golden Rainbow Sword Canon?"

She had heard her master, Qi Yunshu, say that Lu Yang had cultivated the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect Golden Rainbow Sword Canon, the sect's most Cultivation Method.

As Cultivation Method that combines the Metal Dao and the Sword Dao, the Golden Rainbow Sword Canon is much more difficult to cultivate than the Golden Light Nine Refinements True Explanation.

However, she heard that since Elder Su Jinxuan had personally instructed Lu Yang, Lu Yang's Golden Rainbow Sword Canon should have already reached a very high level.

Lu Yang shook his head and said, "No, these are two Wood Dao Cultivation Method."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yunxue paused for a moment, her usually calm and unwavering eyes flickering slightly as she looked at Lu Yang. Though her tone remained cool, her words carried a subtle hint of advice. "Junior Brother Lu's comprehension is indeed monstrous, but it would be best if he specialized in one or two Great Daos first. Cultivating too many Great Daos is extremely difficult and not worth the effort."

Lu Yang glanced at Mu Yunxue with some surprise, then a smile curved his lips, "Senior Sister Mu, are you concerned about me?"

Mu Yunxue nodded. "Mm."

For Mu Yunxue, concern is concern, and there's no need to hide it.

She naturally wouldn't refute it.

Lu Yang: "..."

His heart skipped a beat.

Goodness, that's so straightforward!

However, he also understood that the concern Mu Yunxue expressed was the concern between friends.

In her heart, she probably hadn't yet developed romantic feelings for someone.

After all, their current level of affection is merely that of mutually trusting friends.

He didn't dwell on it, but explained, "These two Cultivation Method aren't for me to practice myself. One of my confidantes mainly cultivates the Azure Wood Longevity Art, which, as an Earth Grade Cultivation Method, is very difficult to cultivate. I plan to comprehend it myself first, and then annotate it for her to make it easier for her to comprehend and cultivate."

Lu Yang's explanation was completely unexpected by Mu Yunxue.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and Jiang Shiqing's face immediately came to mind.

Previously, in Lu Yang's cave abode, she had personally witnessed Jiang Shiqing skillfully brewing Dao Comprehension Tea for herself, and she had also seen the natural and intimate interaction between the two.

Her clear, cool eyes flickered slightly. "Is it Jiang Shiqing?"

Lu Yang shook his head. "It's not Shiqing, it's another confidante of mine, named Lin Ying, who is still an outer disciple."

Lu Yang also knew that he now had several female confidantes, and to be honest, he was quite a womanizer and a scumbag.

If you want to increase your favorability with other girls, the smartest thing to do is, of course, never mention other female friends.

However, Lu Yang did not intend to deceive others.

If someone clearly has several female admirers but hides it and pretends to be deeply in love to flirt with others, then that's a sign of poor character.

Even if he's a scumbag, he, Lu, has to be a scumbag in a clear and unequivocal way!

Mu Yunxue fell silent again.

She felt inexplicably uneasy, as if something had gently poked her heart.

After a long silence, she finally spoke in a cool tone, "Junior Brother Lu is so good to his beloved."

Lu Yang smiled and said frankly, "Of course, she's my woman after all."

Mu Yunxue glanced at him, her voice devoid of any emotion. "Romance between men and women can distract you from your pursuit of the Dao. Junior Brother Lu, you should spend less time on this. It's unwise to waste your cultivation time on your dao companion, trying to comprehend Cultivation Method for her. Even if you, Junior Brother Lu, are exceptionally talented, your cultivation is still only at the Qi Refining Realm stage, and your lifespan is limited."

Lu Yang rarely heard Mu Yunxue speak such a long passage at once.

He smiled slightly, his tone gentle yet firm. "I had originally planned to learn about the Wood Dao anyway, so it's not entirely a waste of time. But thank you for your concern, Senior Sister Mu."

Mu Yunxue turned and walked towards the white jade staircase, her long white dress fluttering lightly on the deck.

Her footsteps were light and silent, and her cool voice drifted back from the stairwell on the wind. "I'm not concerned about you, I just feel it's a pity that Junior Brother Lu's talent shouldn't be wasted. I'm going to cultivate."

Lu Yang leaned against a white jade pillar carved with flowing cloud patterns, watching Mu Yunxue's figure disappear around the corner of the stairs, and smiled slightly.

Although this senior sister spoke bluntly and coldly, there was still concern in her words.

He then turned and walked back to his meditation room, where he brewed himself a pot of Dao Comprehension Tea.

The amber-colored tea liquor was poured into a celadon cup, and its delicate and lingering aroma slowly diffused throughout the room.

He sat cross-legged on the jade cushion, opened the book "The Azure Wood Transformation Instruction," and began to read it line by line, enjoying the refreshing aroma of the Dao Comprehension Tea.

Perfect, I'll consider this completing my daily reading task.

The weather was clear on the seventh day of the second lunar month.

The chill of late winter has mostly dissipated, and above the clouds is a clear, almost transparent blue sky. The sunlight shines directly on the drifting clouds and mountain ridges, warming people slightly.

A magnificent, hundred-foot-long flying boat, shimmering with light, roared past through the clouds, its shimmering patterns casting long, pale streaks of light in the sunlight.

The flying boat has passed through the territory under the jurisdiction of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect and entered the territory of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

The Ten Thousand Beast Mountain is renowned Qin Province for its beast-taming techniques, and its sect's Cultivation Method, "The Ten Thousand Beasts Gathering at the Origin," is a powerful and top- Earth Grade Supreme Quality Cultivation Method.

Every disciple of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain possesses their own natal spirit beast. In battle, the human and beast attack together, essentially two against one, making them incredibly powerful.

The top experts of the sects should not be underestimated either.

Those Nascent Soul Realm True Lord not only possess profound cultivation, but also have natal spirit beasts of the same level accompanying them.

Therefore, among the six major forces in Qin Province, Ten Thousand Beast Mountain has consistently ranked among the top one or two, even surpassing the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

Just as the airship was flying quietly, a streak of light suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.

The streaking light was incredibly fast, hurtling through the air at an almost frenzied pace, its flight path quite turbulent, leaving a crooked white trail in the sky.

Following closely behind were five streaks of light, each a different color, lined up in a row, relentlessly pursuing them.

The pursuers occasionally unleashed Law Technique, bombarding the fleeing man in an attempt to force him to stop.

At the same time, loud threatening voices and angry shouts imbued with spiritual energy continued to come from behind.

"Ding Ran! If you know what's good for you, leave behind the Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Peng Egg, and we might spare your life!"

"That's right! Otherwise, not only will you suffer, but your Ding Household will also have no peace!"
