Thud, thud, thud—the sound of knocking ca from outside the door.
Wang Xian strode swiftly to open the door, staring at Hong Jie at the entrance, wrapped in a coat, dusty and tired, he was stunned.
"Sis, why are you here?"
"Little Lu invited ."
Wang Xian turned around, looking at Lu Chenzhou sipping alone, beads of cold sweat on his forehead.
"In the midst of winter, are you planning to keep standing at the door?"
"Ah...Sis, co in quickly."
Wang the Grandmaster coughed once, returning to his seat with style.
"Junior brother, Hong Jie is coming over, and you didn’t even ntion it to ."
"You’ve been in retreat recently breaking through the Divine Skill, and couldn’t manage it."
Hong Jie patted Wang Xian’s shoulder and laughed:
"Look how nervous you are, I’m here to see Little Lu, don’t overthink it."
"Oh, oh, here to see Little Lu, huh."
"Don’t forget, I’m one of the few Array Masters in Da Xia, too many people invite to visit."
Hong Jie left Wang Xian hanging, and started discussing matters related to Zouyu Water Mansion with Lu Chenzhou.
Lu Chenzhou felt instinctively that with the style of the Desolate God, the trial inside might involve Arrays.
So he called Hong Jie over to rehearse in advance, not expecting to beco an Array Master, just to grasp so knowledge, crucial for survival.
He also tried, but the Martial Arts Tree couldn’t record cultivation techniques related to Arrays, otherwise, he would have definitely committed himself to it.
Although Arrays are also a transcendent path, they are distinctly different from Martial Arts.
On the New Year’s Eve, so were chatting leisurely, while others were researching Martial Arts, with the whole family enjoying the mont together.
At Lu Chenzhou’s enthusiastic invitation, Hong Jie temporarily stayed at Su City Dragon Martial.
Only three months left until the Water Mansion opens.
...
A month later.
High above the Jiangnan wilderness, a figure walks on clouds, soaring through the windy Gang Wind Layer like a swallow in flight—that’s Lu Chenzhou. Inside him, there’s a constant flow of "Light Spirit Qi" moving around, allowing him and his armor weighing over ten thousand pounds, to feel as light as a feather, using the strong winds to "fly" all the way to Hang City.
Of course, every dozens of miles, he has to land, ascend the clouds anew, find the wind direction, and continue gliding.
His flying is completely different from Heavenly King who reverses the magnetic field.
At best, he’s just a glider, Heavenly King is like a maglev train.
Nonetheless, even so, he’s enough to be unrivaled below a Grandmaster.
In fact, the movent techniques and speed of many Grandmasters aren’t even as fast as Lu Chenzhou.
"Cloud Ascending Ladder" Swallow Form Fist, indeed a perfect combination for escape.
Below him, the lands and rivers swept by, in a blink, he glided over a vast great river.
"The volu of Yangtze River now is more than ten tis of what it was before the Great Catastrophe, stretching about ninety thousand miles, it’s truly majestic, several hundred miles wide."
From his waist, ca the voice of Sword Spirit: [That’s nothing, a major tributary of Wu Water in the Great Wilderness is over ninety million miles long.]
"Ninety million miles? Even Heavenly Realm experts would take forever to fly across it, right?"
[Indeed, without the Transmission Array, it’s impossible to move an inch!]
Suddenly, Lu Chenzhou’s gaze narrowed, the Tai Sui Ancient Sword in his Mud Pill Palace buzzed and whirled, a sudden sense of crisis erged.
His muscles reacting instinctively, he stepped right into the void, a circle of rippling waves spread out, and he shot a hundred ters away, seamlessly drew out his Big Spear.
A dark water arrow, black as ink, pierced through the clouds and exploded.
A cloud of black mist spread out, turning the stray birds within into a pile of bones falling.
Lu Chenzhou glanced at the heart of the river below, vaguely seeing a nearly hundred-ter-long black silhouette swaying.
A powerful Qi chanism locked onto him.
"Four Realms!"
He "nitrogen accelerated", his steps left phantom images, swiftly crossed the Yangtze River, and vanished into the horizon.
...
In the heart of the river.
Beneath the muddy water surface, a giant snake draped in scales black as ink, with a slight bulge on its forehead, coiled, coldly watching the vanished prey.
As the hidden overlord of this region, it was the first ti it had failed.
...
After running several hundred miles non-stop, Lu Chenzhou landed in a mountain forest, converging his Qi chanism, disappearing into the heavens and earth like Turtle Breath.
"Phew, luckily this Four Realms creature didn’t pursue, otherwise I’d waste a Sword Qi."
Suddenly, the voice of Sword Spirit ca coldly:
[Just now in the river was clearly a juvenile Black Water Profound Snake, you missed a grand opportunity.]
"Black Water Profound Snake?"
[Yes, my forr owner had one as a mount, though hers was a fully grown adult, also known as "Ink Flood Dragon", already transford into the Dragon Clan. Black Water Profound Snake is a rare desolate beast in the Great Wilderness, even rarer in today’s era. I suspect there aren’t more than a handful worldwide. You’re really lucky, kid!]
"If I didn’t run, I wouldn’t win either, let’s talk about it later then."
[Indeed, Black Water Profound Snakes don’t easily change nests, so if you return next ti, it’ll likely still be here.]
"Are creatures in this Great Wilderness so fierce? Even juveniles are Four Realms, as if humans compared to snakes, it’s infuriating."
Lu Chenzhou pondered while traveling.
[This is the Black Water Profound Snake clan, born as top-level beings, second only to a Desolate God; they are born as First Realm transcendent beings, and after nine tis shedding, they ascend one rank. The one just now, likely has shed 27 tis, while they’re strong to humans, within their clan, it’s still considered a juvenile snake, only after 54 tis shedding, known as the "Sixty-nine Tribulations", they shed the snake body to beco a flood dragon, transforming into the Dragon Clan.]
"Alright, seems it’s not easy for them either."
[Indeed, compared to that, the tribulations of martial artists are far less, it’s just breaking the shackles that brings so calamities.]
"If it goes through the Ninety-nine Tribulations, can this Black Water Profound Snake beco a True Dragon?"
[Exactly, becoming a dragon is the ultimate cultivation destination for most snakes in the Great Wilderness; True Dragons and True Phoenixes, even the weakest ones are Ninth Realm demigods. Star Lord of Fate, Star Lord of Cosmos are considered part of the True Dragon lineage, but they are born divine, without any need for cultivation. If you want to ta this snake, you can co during its shedding.]
