Chapter 999: Chapter 999: Beast Attack
Ye Jingtian’s eyes conveyed a sense of appreciation: “Good, well done, everyone.”
Led by that commander, Ye Jingtian and the others took a leisurely walk around the city before reaching the towering, sturdy city walls.
This strategic frontier town was nad Guard City, a purely military settlent with no civilians or loose cultivators—only soldiers and commanders.
The walls of Guard City were dozens of zhang high and more than ten zhang wide, almost wider than the road inside the city itself. Elite soldiers stood atop the walls, exuding a heavy aura of hostility.
Qin Hao and his companions stood on the city wall, gazing outward at the boundless mountain ranges.
From within the mountains ca the thunderous roars of beasts, whose sounds alone conveyed their formidable and terrifying power.
Ye Jingtian spoke to Qin Hao and the others: “Ahead lies tens of thousands of miles of beast-infested mountains, which are just the outskirts; throughout Hidden Dragon Continent, humans occupy only about three to four tenths of the land. Many areas are perilous grounds, treacherous lands, and beast-infested mountains. Beyond these mountains lie other kingdoms.”
After surveying from the walls, Ye Jingtian tossed sothing into the air, which expanded with the wind to beco a magical warship hundreds of zhang long and over ten zhang wide before their eyes.
“This is the warship we’ll use to head to the Southern Continent Heavenly Earth Academy,” Ye Jingtian told Qin Hao and the group.
Given Ye Jingtian’s status, venturing into other kingdoms is impossible, akin to a lamb entering a tiger’s den.
The kingdoms surrounding them had so skirmishes and tensions, eager to eliminate and annex one another.
Ye Jingtian was the first to fly onto the warship, followed by Ye Lingyi, Qin Hao, and the rest joining him.
Ye Jingtian said a few farewell words to the guards on the wall before departing.
The warship flew at ten thousand ters altitude, moving rapidly like a flash of light, disappearing from the sight of the soldiers on the wall in an instant.
A protective shield of energy enveloped the warship, ford by the defensive array against the intense piercing winds brought by high speeds.
Qin Hao and his companions were experiencing such a vessel for the first ti, curiously inspecting the ship’s features.
The warship was crafted from rarer wood, three stories high, incredibly hard—not inferior to rare tals, propelled by spiritual energy.
The warship housed countless acceleration formations, defensive formations, and attack formations.
Ye Lingyi looked at them and said: “Please follow , I’ll take you to your respective rooms.”
“Miss Wu, you’ll stay in this room,” Ye Lingyi led them first to a room on the first floor.
The interior decor was quite splendid, comparable to ho accommodations, with a spirit gathering array inside the room, drawing and refining nearby spiritual energy for cultivation.
Dong ngqi and Gao Linglong were also assigned rooms afterward.
Ye Lingyi looked at Qin Hao and the other two: “Mr. Qin, this room is relatively large with two bedrooms; the three of you can stay here.”
Qin Hao nodded: “Thank you, Princess Lingyi.”
“Mr. Qin, no need for formality. We’re similar in age; we might beco fellow disciples in the future, just call Lingyi,” Ye Lingyi said with a soft smile.
Qin Hao replied: “Alright, I’ll oblige then.”
“Mm, Mr. Qin, focus on your cultivation. I’ll be leaving now,” After settling them, Ye Lingyi turned to leave.
Though outwardly approachable, Qin Hao sensed a certain pride within Ye Lingyi.
This was a pride stemming from confidence in her own strength, akin to contempt, believing Qin Hao and others were not on her level.
Ling’er spoke: “Master, Xian Yin Sister, which room will you choose?”
Upon hearing her question, Xian Yin’s face blushed crimson.
Qin Hao laughed: “Any room would do, let’s choose the one on the right.”
Ling’er nodded: “Then I’ll head to the left room and cultivate, Master, Xian Yin Sister, have a good dual cultivation.”
“You cheeky little brat,” Xian Yin couldn’t help but tickle her.
Ling’er chuckled, quickly retreating to her room.
Qin Hao and Xian Yin also returned to their room, Xian Yin slightly shyly asked: “Sir, shall we cultivate separately or engage in dual cultivation?”
“Of course, dual cultivation—it speeds up the process,”
Facing each other, Xian Yin moved gracefully, cautiously sitting down.
Dual cultivation essentially involves balancing yin and yang, harmonizing the yang energy from the man and the yin energy from the woman to form pure energy. This pure energy cannot be absorbed from heaven and earth, and this yin-yang harmonization can also aid in breaking through realm barriers.
Aside from the Bloodthirsty Forbidden Guards, everyone aboard the warship was engaged in cultivation.
…
“Boom”
As everyone was cultivating, the entire ship suddenly shook, jolting everyone from their cultivation.
Qin Hao and Xian Yin also ca to, swiftly clothing themselves, disappearing from the room.
On the deck, Ye Jingtian, Ye Lingyi, and others erged.
A Bloodthirsty Forbidden Guard reported to Ye Jingtian: “Your Excellency, our warship is under attack by a Heavenly Human Realm beast.”
As soon as the report concluded, a piercing cry echoed from the distant sky, painfully sharp and dizzying.
Soon, a giant beast appeared flying towards them, its expansive wingspan asuring several dozen zhang long, overshadowing the sky—terrifyingly imnse.
Such a colossal beast was a first-ti encounter for many, though Qin Hao had seen larger beings, like the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf he encountered upon arriving in this world, whose size and aura surpassed that of the beast now facing them.
Ye Jingtian snorted coldly, wielding a celestial sword, he flew out from the warship, facing the Heavenly Human Realm beast.
The beast shrieked, its resonant cry sweeping through the heavens and earth, sending beasts hundreds of li away scurrying and astounded.
Ye Jingtian slashed his sword, a golden sword beam over ten zhang long streaked across the sky, its montum towering to the zenith.
With the heavens dimming and the void gently quivering.
“Pfft”
The golden sword beam, like celestial radiance, sliced through the beast, its speed too swift, leaving no room for evasion.
“Boom”
The colossal beast’s body instantly exploded.
With a single sword, Ye Jingtian dispatched a Heavenly Human Realm beast, his fighting prowess left those on deck stunned.
Ye Jingtian waved his palm, the monster’s core was drawn into his hand, while he returned to the ship: “Continue onward, everyone no need for concern, the warship’s defenses are robust; there will be no issues. In the following days, beast attacks might frequent as we approach the central region of the Southern Continent. The beasts here carry substantial strength.”
