And He Dares to Call Himself the Fastest? (Thanks to reader "Just Whatever" for the alliance-leader tip)
The shuttle's flight speed was hundreds of times slower than when it arrived. In the words of the Fifth Elder, it was to let Lu Yang and the others see the scenery in the sky.
Even so, the shuttle still overtook one flying boat after another, its speed so fast that Lu Yang and his companions were terrified and had no courage to look at the scenery outside.
"Why don't we just focus on cultivation? Cultivation is a cultivator's duty," Li Haoran suggested, raising his hand tremblingly.
The Fifth Elder thought for a moment and thought these kids were quite diligent, "Alright, shall I activate the Spirit Gathering Formation?"
Lu Yang confidently waved his hand. "No need, I just learned a primitive Divine Ability that can gather all the surrounding Spiritual Qi, which can replace the Spirit Gathering Formation."
The Fifth Elder was quite surprised, not expecting such a Divine Ability. Was it taught by Yun Zhi?
Lu Yang proudly raised his neck, opened his mouth, and unleashed the Taotie Clan's original great Divine Ability —Devouring Heaven—and a continuous stream of Spiritual Qi gathered around him.
The concentration of Spiritual Qi in the surrounding area surged instantly.
"Such a miraculous Divine Ability?" The Fifth Elder, with his extensive experience, recognized the extraordinary nature of this Divine Ability power at a glance. This Divine Ability consumes almost no spiritual energy, making it much cheaper than the Spirit Gathering Formation, while its effect is almost the same as the Spirit Gathering Formation. Moreover, it has no terrain restrictions and can be cultivated anytime, anywhere!
It's just that it doesn't look very elegant; it tilts its head back and opens its mouth, like a divine dog howling at the moon.
However, as a cultivator, one should prioritize cultivation, while elegance is secondary.
Meng Jingzhou also recognized the power of this Divine Ability and leaned closer to ask, "How do you cultivate this Divine Ability? Could you teach me?"
Li Haoran and Qin Yanyan also looked at Lu Yang expectantly, clearly eager to learn this move.
"Of course, of course." Lu Yang was very generous and, after obtaining the Immortal Fairy's consent, taught them the mental techniques and key points of this move.
"Go back and learn slowly, focus on cultivation first," Lu Yang said, then opened his mouth to gather Spiritual Qi.
"Stop! Don't try to escape!"
"How dare you act with such disregard for the law and act so recklessly within the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty? Do you still think this is your Great Yu Dynasty?!"
"Damn the Great Xia Dynasty! It's nothing but a usurper, yet it dares to be so arrogant!"
Three streaks of light chased each other in the air, with one streak in front, desperately trying to shake off the two behind it.
He was Integrated Body Peak Stage cultivator of the Great Yu Dynasty, who chose to slumber at his peak to prepare for the great battles of the future.
He wasn't supposed to wake up now; according to the plan, the Imperial Preceptor was supposed to wake them up one by one.
Unfortunately, his sleeping place was discovered by a few foolish cultivators who thought they had found a great fortuitous opportunity and excitedly dug, eventually breaking his slumber.
In a fit of rage, he killed the cultivators.
Unexpectedly, this action alarmed the local chief constable. Seeing his menacing approach, the chief constable immediately contacted his superiors, and the capital dispatched two Integrated Body Realm Cultivators to arrest him.
The reason for the arrest was still the ridiculous charge of premeditated murder.
What does it matter to him, a dignified cultivator at the Integration Body Integration Realm, who kills a few minor cultivators? It's just an excuse to capture me.
In his view, the Great Yu Dynasty was at its zenith, and this so-called Great Xia Dynasty must be a usurper who shamelessly claimed to be the legitimate dynasty.
Fortunately, he had a backup plan and was able to regain his peak form in a short time.
Moreover, he was skilled in stealth techniques, making it more than enough for him to evade capture.
"I'll shake you off, secretly take control of a small Lineage, and thoroughly investigate the situation of the Great Xia Dynasty before making any further moves. This will also pave the way for the Imperial Preceptor!"
He thought, "He truly lives up to his title as the Imperial Preceptor Advisor."
Although the Great Yu Dynasty was at its peak, unifying the Central Continent, with no rivals and an overwhelming momentum, its fortune seemed to last forever.
However, the Imperial Preceptor still believed that no dynasty lasts forever. Even the mighty High Antiquity had their end. No matter how strong the Great Yu Dynasty was, it could not surpass High Antiquity with the Four Immortals. The Great Yu Dynasty would not last forever.
There is only one way to revive the Great Yu Dynasty: to recover from the new dynasty era, take advantage of the great struggle, re-establish the Great Yu Dynasty, and continue its destiny!
He shook his head, trying to put those thoughts aside for the moment; his priority was to shake off the two men.
The two Great Xia cultivators frowned deeply. Their opponent's speed was astonishing, easily ranking among the top ten in the Body Integration Realm. Even with their speed-increasing talismans, they were still a step behind.
One of the cultivators inadvertently caught sight of a flying shuttle that looked quite familiar.
"Old Chu, you go ahead and chase after them, I'll find a helper."
Old Chu didn't understand his meaning. Was it too late to find help now? However, he trusted his companion's judgment and nodded, "Okay."
The Great Xia cultivator knocked on the shuttle, and the Fifth Elder opened the hatch to let him in.
As soon as the Great Xia cultivators entered, they saw Lu Yang looking up with his mouth open. Meng Jingzhou and the other two were sitting in a triangle around Lu Yang, the four of them meditating, creating a rather strange atmosphere.
Is this the latest cultivation method of the Ask Dao Sect?
"Never mind, now is not the time to think about this," the Great Xia cultivator said with delight upon seeing the Fifth Elder standing with his hands behind his back.
My savior!
"Haha, Zhou Xin, I knew this flying shuttle was yours!"
The Fifth Elder turned his head, looked at the other person warily, and said, "Yu Qian, my shuttle wasn't speeding. What do you want with me?"
An unfamiliar cultivator appeared, someone even known to the Fifth Elder. Lu Yang and his companions slowly opened their eyes, wanting to see what was going on.
The Fifth Elder casually introduced, "This is Yu Qian, a constable from the Great Xia Dynasty. When I used to race in my flying shuttle, he would chase after me every day and give me tickets. Later, when I stopped racing in my flying shuttle, he stopped chasing me."
Lu Yang twitched his eyelids. When the Fifth Elder was speeding around, his cultivation level was at least at the Nascent Spirit Transformation stage. This Constable Yu Qian was from the same era as the Fifth Elder, so her cultivation level must not be low. Even if she was a constable, she was a big figure like the Chief Constable of the Imperial City.
Yu Qian's veins bulged as she listened. "You're talking nonsense! What do you mean you stopped speeding the shuttle as much later? It's obvious that no one could catch up with you later on!"
"Just over two weeks ago, I heard someone complaining that you were speeding again!"
When the Fifth Elder was young, he was a speedster, which caused Yu Qian and the others a lot of trouble. The reason why Yu Qian can run so fast now is because she trained when she was chasing the Fifth Elder.
"You can't just say things like that. When did I speed off later? Do you have any proof?"
Yu Qian was so angry she wanted to hit someone. "You're so fast, even a recording ball can't capture your shadow. Where did you get the evidence?"
"Alright, enough of this nonsense. We have something important to do now. See that speeding guy up ahead? He's a cultivator from the Great Yu Dynasty. Catch him!"
Yu Qian was so angry with the Fifth Elder that she almost forgot about the important matter.
"He said he was the fastest runner during the Great Yu era's Body Integration Realm, and we couldn't catch up with him."
The Fifth Elder glanced at the Great Yu cultivator who was running incredibly fast, and scoffed, "You dare to claim to be the fastest?"
"Sit down, everyone!"
The Fifth Elder was getting serious; no one had ever dared to challenge him in the field of aerial flight.
Yu Qian breathed a sigh of relief. The Fifth Elder was quite troublesome when he was an opponent, but if he was an ally, then it was a very lucky thing.
The second update will be around 10:30 PM.
