The sun shone brightly beneath a cloudless blue sky. One glance at that clear light lifted the spirits.
Several figures streaked across the sky, racing in the same direction.
Every cultivator who spotted them from the ground lowered their head, not daring to meet their eyes.
Anyone in the know understood that only experts of the Sage Manifestation Realm could fly.

Qin An guessed that they might soon reach the Sea
