Chapter 1022: Chapter 131 Luo Feng City
The Shu Mountain Skyport was located atop a mountain 8,000 ters above sea level.
From ti to ti, one could see a giant flying boat cutting through the sea of clouds; these were rchant vessels traveling to and fro various places.
Diverse mineral resources under Shu Mountain’s jurisdiction were widely distributed, so of extre value, hence the need for such ships for transportation.
Each ship was guarded by a Nascent Soul cultivator serving as the captain.
Beyond that, the speed of these ships was extrely fast, far surpassing the normal flight speed of cultivators.
For Golden Core cultivators like Brother Yu, relying solely on their own ability to fly, it would take a year to reach Jin Country.
If riding a flying boat, at most ten days would be needed, which highlighted the gap between the two.
Even the flight speed of Nascent Soul cultivators was inferior to that of the flying boats.
It was said that the maximum speed of a flying boat could rival a Divinity Transformation cultivator, and even if one encountered large demons in the wild, there was a chance of escape.
Following the staff’s instructions, Zhao Yu arrived at the flying boat he was to board.
This ship was dedicated to shuttling between Jin Country and Shu Mountain.
In recent years, internal chaos in Jin Country led to the decline of control over its thirty-six prefectures, with the outer ten-plus states becoming virtually ungovernable in na only.
Consequently, the resources found in these states beca hotspots for contention by various groups.
Being a nearby major power, Shu Mountain inevitably occupied a larger share of resources, necessitating the use of ships for transport.
The ship was huge, a hundred ters long, and on this trip to Jin Country, theirs was not the only mission aboard.
There were many others who had accepted different tasks; for many Golden Core cultivators, the resources they could gain by staying in Shu Mountain were limited. It was better to try their luck in the chaotic Jin Country, where they might even have a chance to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
Zhao Yu’s party included two Golden Core cultivators, who were allocated two single cabins.
There was no doubt that Le Le would occupy one alone, while Zhao Yu would share the other with Liu Wenxuan and Zhao Linger.
Fortunately, the three of them were accustod to sleeping together. Although they shared a room, they were already used to it.
As Jin Country was a popular destination, the ship did not stay long before it was filled with passengers and officially took off from the port.
“Dear passengers, to ensure the safety of the ship, a Spirit-Restricting Formation will be activated during the flight. Please do not panic and maintain composure… I am your captain…”
Even inside the room, Zhao Yu still heard the captain’s announcent.
Imdiately after, he felt a restraining force take hold, and the Spiritual Power within his body was suppressed to a degree that it could not overflow.
“This level of Spirit-Restricting Formation makes it impossible to use even the simplest Tier 1 spell, but the storage bag can still be opened normally…”
Zhao Yu nodded slightly, at least everyone was the sa, so nothing untoward should happen during the ten-day journey.
“But we should also be cautious of this captain, in case he has been bribed…”
Behind closed doors, Zhao Yu secretly tested his capacity through his system and discovered that his current energy reserve was enough to breach the restriction, even able to directly break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, and so he completely relaxed.
In the following days, Zhao Yu and his companions stayed in their room, remaining on constant alert.
But to Zhao Yu’s surprise, throughout the ten-plus day journey, Duan Yinghong did not appear, and there wasn’t even anyone tailing them.
It seed as if this mandatory mission had nothing to do with her and was truly just an ordinary task assigned by the sect.
But Zhao Yu was well aware that there were not so many coincidences; Duan Yinghong would not let them off the hook.
The absence of surveillance must an it had been handled at another level.
For instance, Duan Yinghong undoubtedly knew about their room assignnt after they boarded, so she could tell whether they had disembarked or not.
He believed that once they were off the ship, he would encounter Duan Yinghong and her people.
“It doesn’t matter, we’ve already left Shu Mountain. No matter how powerful the Duan and Zhou families are within Shu Mountain, could they possibly chase us out?”
Zhao Yu chuckled softly; once they left Shu Mountain, the sky was vast enough for birds to soar, and the sea was wide for fish to leap.
Zhou Zhengchang and Duan Yinghong were only at the Golden Core stage. Even if soone sought to avenge them, only a Nascent Soul cultivator would be sent.
Now, with his energy reserve, he could ascend directly to the late Nascent Soul stage.
“It’s a pity that the energy required for the Divinity Transformation Stage is too vast. With just Liu Wenxuan providing energy, it is still insufficient. If Zhao Linger also breaks through to the Golden Core stage, the combined energy of the two would likely be enough for to break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage in about five to six years!”
Zhao Yu thought that with Sun Lele’s not-low level, if he could receive energy from her, advancing to Divinity Transformation would be effortless.
Unfortunately, her nature was too good. Despite his attempts to draw energy during that ti, he had not succeeded.
The main reason lay in Sun Lele’s vast experience and ancientness; she was almost devoid of emotional fluctuations.
“Sister Xuan, are we going to die?” On the ship, Zhao Linger asked with so fear.
“I don’t know, but it doesn’t matter. Dying together with Little Yu would be a kind of happiness!” Liu Wenxuan said with a smile.
Her love for Zhao Yu had seeped deep into her soul, to the extent that she no longer feared death.
While Zhao Linger could also provide twice the energy of an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator, she had not yet reached Liu Wenxuan’s state of being and still harbored a fear of death.
“He actively promoted himself to the Golden Core stage, so he must be confident, right?!”
Zhao Linger comforted herself, “With all the magical artifacts and elixirs Brother Yu has refined, dealing with ordinary Golden Core cultivators shouldn’t be a problem…”
“Linger, while Little Yu is out, there’s sothing I want to ask you…”
Liu Wenxuan had a question that had been troubling her heart for a long ti.
“Ask away, Sister Xuan!” Zhao Linger was curious to know what Liu Wenxuan wanted to ask.
