Returning home in glory (Part one)
P. S.: I went out to lunch with some of my best friends from high school this morning, and the traffic was terrible this afternoon~~ Sorry for the late update...
Phoenix Feather Wings (Flying Magic Artifact): Requires cultivation level of the Void Splitting Realm, Movement Speed 600 + 30%, MP consumption 5 points per second, durability 100100, weight 10.
Looking at the data on the Phoenix Feather Wings floating in front of him, Zhuge Xiang's face was filled with joy. As expected of Flying Magic Artifact, its speed was truly terrifying, as was its Qi Energy consumption. Zhuge Xiang's current MP limit was close to 3000 points, which was enough to support Zhuge Xiang to fly at full speed for ten minutes.
With a cultivation level of Void Splitting Realm Tenth Layer, being able to fly for ten minutes, this Phoenix Feather Wings Flying Magic Artifact is indeed very Qi Energy -efficient. It's also fortunate that it was inlaid with nine mid-grade Spirit Stones; otherwise, if it were an ordinary Flying Magic Artifact, even someone with the cultivation level of the Returning to the Return to Simplicity Realm would only be able to sustain it for about three to five minutes.
Over the years, Zhuge Xiang has gained a certain understanding of Movement Speed. Movement Speed increase of 10 means an increase of 1 meter per second. These Phoenix Feather Wings Movement Speed only increased Zhuge Xiang's original Movement Speed by 30%, but also added Movement Speed 50 meters per second. Judging from Zhuge Xiang's Zhuge Xiang speed, if he were equipped with the Phoenix Feather Wings, his Movement Speed would be close to 100 meters per second.
The Phoenix Feather Wings Movement Speed of 100 meters per second, covering a distance of 12 li in one minute. In 10 minutes of full-speed flight, they can cover 120 li. Although this speed is somewhat slower than the Artifact Flight of Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator, it is still a terrifying speed compared to that of an ordinary Qi Refining Stage Cultivator.
The blueprints for the Flying Magic Artifact, the Fairy feathers with Phoenix Bloodline, and a full nine mid-grade Spirit Stone —only a Beginner Twelve Grade Artifact Forger could forge it. Zhuge Xiang's investment in the Phoenix Feather Wings was considerable.
However, looking at the attributes of the Phoenix Feather Wings, Zhuge Xiang couldn't help but smile. As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. These Phoenix Feather Wings certainly did not disappoint him.
After a year of dedicated practice in Forging, Zhuge Xiang had finally reached the level of Beginner Twelve Grade Artifact Forger and had finally forged the Phoenix Feather Wings. In a good mood, he played with the Phoenix Feather Wings for a while, then put them into his storage space. He stood up, Xiao Yue, who had already devoured all the equipment, leaped up and landed on Zhuge Xiang's shoulder.
Although still small in size, over the past year, Zhuge Xiang has given all the inferior or failed magical Magic Artifact to Xiao Yue. Once Xiao Yue reveals its true form, its strength is comparable to Six-Star Monster Beast.
Upon opening the door, a servant was waiting at the entrance. Seeing Zhuge Xiang open the door, the servant hurriedly bowed respectfully and said, "Young Master, two Asura Sect Inner Sect have arrived today. They say they are old friends of yours and did not dare to disturb you. Miss Qin Qing is entertaining them in the main hall."
"An old friend?" Upon hearing this, Zhuge Xiang was slightly taken aback. Then, as if he had thought of something, he quickened his pace and walked towards the reception hall in front.
Sure enough, upon arriving at the reception hall, two familiar figures appeared before Zhuge Xiang.
"Haha, Niu Geng, it really is you!" Zhuge Xiang laughed heartily and said. He had been in the Asura Sect Inner Sect for more than a year, and Niu Geng had indeed reached the Void Splitting Realm and come to the Inner Sect.
"Zhuge Xiang, I've heard about your deeds in the Inner Sect. You really are the kind of person who can't stay still anywhere," Niu Geng said with a loud laugh upon seeing Zhuge Xiang.
Upon seeing Niu Geng, Zhuge Xiang raised an eyebrow slightly. Third Layer of Void Splitting Realm? Niu Geng's cultivation had actually reached the Third Layer of Void Splitting Realm? Why did he wait until the Third Layer of Void Splitting Realm to come to the Inner Sect?
Puzzled, Zhuge Xiang glanced at Zi Xiang beside Niu Geng and understood. Niu Geng had waited until Zi Xiang's cultivation reached the first level of the Void Splitting Realm -Void Splitting Realm before coming together with her?
"Senior Brother Zhuge, it's been a year, and you've indeed become even stronger. Judging from your aura, you're about to break through to the Innate Realm? Congratulations!" Zi Xiang said, her heart skipping a beat as she saw Zhuge Xiang's gaze fall on her.
Zi Xiang was originally Zhuge Xiang's senior sister, since she joined the Asura Sect earlier. However, in the Asura Sect, senior and junior brothers and sisters are distinguished by their cultivation level, with the one with the higher cultivation level being the elder. Therefore, Zi Xiang now has to call Zhuge Xiang her senior brother.
"You're not bad either, you've reached the Void Splitting Realm," Zhuge Xiang said calmly, glancing at Zi Xiang.
Regarding the ambiguous relationship between Zi Xiang and Niu Geng, Zhuge Xiang had already discussed it with Niu Geng once before, so it's not appropriate to say it a second time.
In short, due to first impressions, Zhuge Xiang didn't find Zi Xiang very pleasing to the eye. However, fortunately, he still had her Lifebound Gu in his hands, so he wasn't afraid that she could cause too much trouble.
"Now that you've all arrived at the Inner Sect, that's wonderful. My Artifact Forger skills have also just broken through to the Beginner Twelve Grade. It's a double celebration! Let's find Restaurant and have a celebration," Zhuge Xiang said with a smile, turning to look at Niu Geng.
"Okay, of course, it's been over a year since we last met," Niu Geng readily agreed.
Regarding the matter of the Asura Tower, Zhuge Xiang asked Qin Qing to handle it for him. He no longer needed the stall at the Asura Tower. Afterward, Zhuge Xiang returned to the Inner Sect Battle Hall and called Mo Wuyan along as well.
The 108th Combat Squad currently consists of only Zhuge Xiang and Mo Wuyan. The two have always had a good relationship, and in the past year, Mo Wuyan's cultivation has also broken through to the Fifth Layer of Innate Realm.
"Squad Leader Zhuge's friend? I'd like to meet him," Mo Wuyan readily agreed upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's invitation, his voice filled with curiosity.
The relationship between Zhuge Xiang and Lu Yuling was no secret within the Inner Sect. Moreover, Lu Yuling's rapid progress in cultivation, which led her directly to the Innate Realm, was much faster than Zhuge Xiang's, further enhancing her reputation within the Inner Sect.
"Zhuge Xiang, are you having a party? Why didn't you invite me?" On the way, a graceful figure appeared in front of Zhuge Xiang, pouting and acting spoiled and willful, pretending to be fierce. It was none other than Su Huayu.
"Oh, I was just about to call you," Zhuge Xiang said with a grin, looking at Su Huayu without any sign of pressure.
"Oh? A gathering? Perfect, I need to be full to have the strength to Duel with you." As fate would have it, at that very moment, another bold and arrogant voice rang out, its sharp Qi Energy seemingly capable of piercing the heavens. Who else could it be but Zhang Kuang?
"Alright, since everyone's here, let's go together," Zhuge Xiang said, nodding and welcoming everyone.
In a short while, Qin Qing returned, and together with Lu Yuling, the group left the Asura Sect Inner Sect in a grand procession. (To be continued...)
