Roaming with Flying Immortals, Embracing the Bright Moon Until the End—First Meeting Wan Jianyi

Qingyun Mountain Range.

Between the peaks, a brilliant rainbow streaked across the sky before vanishing in an instant.

After a long while.

Feeling that more than half the spiritual energy in his body had been depleted, Su Han slowly brought his flying sword to a halt and hovered in midair.

The rainbow light dispersed, replaced by a flying sword whose blade had split into hundreds of fragments and expanded several times in size, along with a white-robed youth lying atop the "fragmented" sword.

At that moment, even as he lay atop the leisurely drifting flying sword.

Su Han's eyes remained filled with excitement as he savored the joy of having created the Rainbow Transformation Technique.

Especially the extreme speed brought by the technique just now, along with the sonic boom that sounded like a fighter jet suddenly accelerating past the sound barrier—it was simply the ultimate pleasure of speed.

But Su Han quickly came back to his senses.

He began calmly analyzing the advantages and drawbacks of the Rainbow Transformation Technique.

Its advantages were obvious. Its speed was astonishing, more than ten times faster than ordinary Sword Riding Flight.

Though he was only in the Yuqing Realm, even Taiqing Realm experts could not possibly surpass his speed.

This meant that at crucial moments, he could swiftly evade enemy attacks or rapidly travel wherever he wished to go.

Whether facing danger, exploring the unknown, or rushing to support a battle, it offered tremendous advantages.

However, its drawbacks were equally glaring.

The consumption of spiritual energy was simply too severe, far beyond what someone at the fourth level of the Yuqing Realm could bear.

That brief stretch of flight just now had nearly depleted more than half his spiritual energy.

If he used it frequently in battle, then once his spiritual energy ran dry, he would be thrown into an extremely dangerous situation.

Still, Su Han was not overly worried about this.

As his cultivation improved, the excessive spiritual energy consumption would no longer be a problem at all.

After all, Su Han was only at the fourth level of the Yuqing Realm.

Ahead of him lay the later stages of the Yuqing Realm, the early, middle, and late stages of the Shangqing Realm, and even the Taiqing...

His cultivation still had plenty of room to improve.

Su Han estimated that once he entered the Shangqing Realm, he would be able to use the Rainbow Transformation Technique with ease, without having to worry about his spiritual energy rapidly running out in a short time.

And there was one more point, the most important of all.

The current Rainbow Transformation Technique had only just been created. It was far from perfect.

The Rainbow Transformation Technique of the legendary Sun Divine Bird, the Three-Legged Golden Crow, could traverse one hundred and twenty thousand li in an instant.

But Su Han, by comparison.

For him, crossing a hundred li in an instant was already the limit of going all out. How could he speak of one hundred and twenty thousand?

"The sun is about to rise in the east, shining upon my railing and Fusang. The Rainbow Transformation Technique of the Sun Divine Bird..."

Su Han's eyes brimmed with anticipation.

"As my comprehension of the great Dao of heaven and earth deepens in the future, the Rainbow Transformation Technique will surely become even more perfect!"

Thinking of this, Su Han felt thoroughly satisfied.

Resting his head on one arm, he looked up at the ink-black heavens and the lone bright moon hanging at the horizon. He raised a hand, as though grasping the cool breeze beyond the mountains.

"Roaming with flying immortals, embracing the bright moon until the end... What a pity there's no wine!"

Just then.

A hearty burst of laughter suddenly rang out. "Hahaha..."

"What a line—roaming with flying immortals, embracing the bright moon until the end."

"I never expected that after so many years without leaving the Ancestral Shrine... ahem, without leaving Tongtian Peak, I would not know that among our Qingyun Sect disciples, there was such an uninhibited and carefree young man."

Hearing the sudden voice, Su Han sat up in surprise.

Just now, he had not sensed the other party's spiritual energy fluctuations at all.

Although I wasn't deliberately sensing anything, this person's cultivation is probably far beyond mine—at the very least, no weaker than my master, Shui Yue.

Otherwise, there's no way I wouldn't have noticed his presence.

But which peak's Peak Master could he be?

Though Su Han pondered this inwardly, he was not worried.

After all, neither the Child of Destiny trait nor the Buddhist Sect sixth sense of the Form of No Sentient Beings from his Demonic Buddha Body, Demonic Heart had warned him of the other party's arrival. That meant the man certainly bore no ill intent.

Moreover, while the Qingyun Sect was a great sect and petty schemes were unavoidable.

Su Han could guarantee that aside from Cang Song, every other Peak Master was unquestionably righteous, the kind who would lay down their lives to defend the righteous path.

Even Cang Song's descent into demonic ways had only been for the sake of dealing with Daoxuan and avenging his senior brother, Wan Jianyi.

And even if the other party truly harbored ill intentions, Su Han did not believe he could stir up much trouble within the Qingyun Sect.

As long as he used the Rainbow Transformation Technique to ensure his safety for a short while, the aftershocks of battle would naturally draw the attention of the Qingyun Sect's experts.

As Su Han pondered.

An elderly man with a straight yet slightly hunched back slowly flew over from afar.

Though the old man's hair was white, his gaze was sharp as lightning. His clothes were tattered, yet he exuded an indescribable majesty and fierce sword intent.

His bearing was exceedingly strange.

I know all the Peak Masters. This man isn't the Peak Master of any peak.

Then who is he?

Filled with doubt, Su Han rose to his feet and gave a slight cupped-fist salute. "May I ask who you are, Senior? Which peak's elder are you?"

Upon hearing Su Han's question, Wan Jianyi did not answer directly.

Instead, his eyes lit up as he scrutinized Su Han from head to toe, his heart filled with delight.

With just a single glance, he saw that Su Han possessed a supreme Sword Bone.

He was absolutely an exceptional seedling for sword cultivation.

Such a young lad already possesses sword intent?

And that flying sword beneath his feet is clearly a blood-refined object, brimming with sinister energy. Even this old man finds it alarming.

Yet this youth's gaze is clear. He obviously hasn't had his mind affected by its sinister nature.

That means he has actually subdued such a sinister object...

This youth's temperament is truly steadfast.

And his cultivation is actually at the fourth level of the Yuqing Realm?

How did I never know that our Qingyun Sect had such a peerless genius of the sword Dao?!

At that moment, the more Wan Jianyi looked at Su Han, the more satisfied he became, his eyes burning with fervor.

Senior Brother is really something. He didn't even tell me about a sword Dao seedling like this.

That Su Han or whatever...

Could he possibly be more suited than the disciple before me to inherit my Ghost Slaying True Spell?!

Meanwhile, seeing the way Wan Jianyi stared at him as though he wanted to devour him, Su Han could not help but frown slightly.

This old man doesn't have some strange fetish, does he?

Thinking this, Su Han hurriedly called out to Wan Jie again. "Senior?"

At the same time, he subtly shifted to the side, ready to slip away at any moment.

Only when he heard Su Han call to him again did Wan Jianyi come back to his senses.

Seeing the wariness in Su Han's eyes, he quickly waved a hand and laughed. "Little fellow, there's no need to be so wary. This old man is not a bad person."

"What bad person would say he's a bad person?"

Hearing Su Han's muttered complaint, Wan Jie immediately coughed awkwardly.

Then he quickly explained, "This old man is from Tongtian Peak, an elder of the Tongtian Peak lineage. I am an old acquaintance of your Sect Master, True Lord Daoxuan."

"As for my name, you can call me Elder Wan."

"Now, can you believe that I'm not a bad person?"

After saying that.

Wan Jie eagerly asked, "Little fellow, which lineage of our Qingyun Sect are you a disciple of?"

"And that unique sword-riding technique you used just now—did your master teach it to you?"

"I never expected that those few fellows hadn't been idle all these years. They actually managed to create such an astonishing sword-riding technique... Impressive!"
