The carriage Treasure's flight speed had already exceeded the speed of sound.
Fierce winds roared in his ears, yet seated in the carriage, he felt not the slightest jolt.
With a Nascent Soul ancestor before him, however, Liu Yu dared not look around freely, lest he violate some taboo.
He sat obediently, occupying only about a third of his seat, and waited for the other man to speak.
Against weaker cultivators, he would strike with a heavy fist.
But against cultivators far stronger than himself, he maintained his usual cautious, low-profile manner, never entertaining such strange notions as "associating as equals."
Cowering before the strong might be contemptible in most people's eyes.
Yet it was a highly effective way to survive in the cruel Cultivation World.
For most who dared challenge cultivators of a higher realm met exceedingly miserable ends.
Simply surviving was already a stroke of luck.
Successfully overcoming an entire major realm could only be called a "miracle," something rarely seen even in ten million years.
Just then, Heavenly Wind Ancestor's voice rang out, and Liu Yu adopted an attentive posture.
"Each of the Five Sects of Chu will send one Golden Core Cultivator to form a team. The route will be..."
Liu Yu committed every word Heavenly Wind Ancestor spoke to memory. His life and fortune were at stake; he dared not be careless in the slightest.
High above the ground, one man spoke slowly while the other listened carefully.
As Heavenly Wind Ancestor continued, Liu Yu gradually formed a rough impression of the Chu Kingdom team's route.
Thanks to the information he had gathered beforehand, Liu Yu's understanding of the Hengduan Mountain Range had deepened considerably. Following the detailed description, he gradually sketched out a map in his mind.
Skyhawk Ridge, Jade Wave Lake, Redblood Marsh.
