The Towering Wind Pavilion and Xia City
"Sky Winged Ones are of the lineage of extreme speed. Cultivating it to the limit is akin to having a pair of wings on your back, allowing you to soar through the galaxy, laugh proudly at the nineteen heavens, descend into the primal chaos, and reach the twenty-sixth layer of Nirvana Hellfire. It can be said to be the number one speed-type bloodline since ancient times!" Xia Buyun very seriously explained to Xia Fei.
"You don't deserve to be called Heaven's Wings in your current state! Therefore, I have arranged for a month of high-intensity training for you. You will be taught the Law of Speed in our Xia Family's Towering Wind Pavilion. "
Xia Fei pursed his lips. He had too many questions in his mind, so he only heard half of what Xia Buyun said. For the rest of the time, Xia Fei was thinking about why he had the Skywing bloodline.
"I know you must have a lot of questions in your heart, but now is not the time to relax. In a month's time, I, Tian Yi, and Xiang Yue will have our final battle! We don't plan to let you participate in the battle as the main force, but you can't drag us down either! "
"All problems are not problems! If there's anything, we'll talk about it in a month! "Xia Buyun said solemnly.
…
Ever since Xia Fei came into contact with the Skywing Clan, his life had become very tense.
Without any explanation, Xia Fei was simply briefed on the situation of his bloodline before he was pushed out of the study by the family patriarch, Xia Buyun. Xia Zonghai took over the family patriarch's orders and brought Xia Fei to the Wind Garden's spatial gate, sending him to the Towering Wind Pavilion.
Xia Fei very much wanted to find out why he was related to the Skywing Race, but Xia Buyun did not give him the chance. Any questions would have to wait until a month later, when the storm had calmed down.
Old brother Zonghai, where are you guys going? The tanned and burly Xia Mang asked curiously when he saw Xia Fei and Xia Zonghai walking toward the side garden.
"Heh heh, the patriarch has ordered that Xia Fei be sent to the Towering Wind Pavilion." Xia Zonghai said with a smile. Although he didn't completely exterminate the Xiang Yue Clan, he had at least vented his anger. Old man Xia Zonghai looked much better now.
Xia Mang was stunned, looking at Xia Fei with a strange expression as he whispered, Towering Wind Pavilion? Where is Grandpa Honest? "
Xia Zonghai nodded, "Of course. The Towering Wind Pavilion has always been managed by Grandpa Honest."
The two of them looked at Xia Fei sympathetically, and when their eyes met, they helplessly shook their heads.
Xia Fei's mind was in a mess, so he did not pay any attention to the two's strange behavior.
Turning the corner, Xia Zonghai said to Xia Fei with some dissatisfaction, "Everyone else is trying their best to get into the Skywing Clan, hoping to be protected by us, but you're the one. Why do you look so distracted?"
Xia Fei could only smile bitterly. From an orphan to a member of the illustrious Skywing Clan, the gap was just too big. No one would be able to accept it in such a short amount of time.
Xia Zonghai had a solemn expression as he said, "I advise you to focus your mind early. The Towering Wind Pavilion is not a place to play around."
…
After adjusting the coordinates, Xia Fei followed Xia Zonghai through the door and arrived at a small city.
The streets were not very spacious, but they were very clean. The houses were sparse, and all sorts of architectural styles could be seen. There were old residences that were antique, modern skyscrapers, and elegant little houses in the forest. There was no plan at all. Everyone built their residences according to their own wishes, not caring about the overall plan of the city. Xia Fei suspected that this city did not even have a plan at all. It was completely pieced together based on personality.
There were not many people on the streets, and many of the residences had their doors tightly locked, looking like they had not been lived in for a long time. Occasionally, there would be people walking by, but most of them were elderly or children. Youths and middle-aged people were rarely seen.
Xia Zonghai seemed to be very familiar with these people, warmly greeting them and introducing Xia Fei, the newest member of the Skywing Clan, to everyone.
"This is Xia City, the true residence of our Skywing Clan. The Wind Gardens of the White Horse Constellation is where the clan's elites, Law Emperors and above, live. Everyone else lives here." Xia Zonghai proudly introduced the city. In his eyes, this strange city was very familiar, and his eyes could not hide his excitement.
Xia Fei frowned and asked, "Xia City? This place doesn't look like a city. It doesn't have the tension of a city. There's a sense of unruliness everywhere. "
Xia Zonghai unhappily glanced at Xia Fei and said, "Unruliness is the personality of our Skywing Clan, alright? Besides, this isn't unruliness; this is freedom! Freedom, do you understand? As long as you don't break the rules of our clan, you can do whatever you want! Whether you want to build a thatched hut or build a mansion here, you can do it all. Those stupid rules of the Law Realm are for ordinary people, not our Skywing Clan! The people of our clan can do whatever they want! "
Xia Fei was startled. These words were very interesting. A city formed by a group of free and undisciplined people naturally had freedom, with different styles. No matter who it was, they could do whatever they wanted in the city.
Along the way, Xia Fei discovered many hobbies, such as a music club, a chess club, a tea ceremony club, a calligraphy club, and so on. There were so many of them that Xia Fei could not count on. Though most of the houses were tightly shut, the hobbies were very lively. Be it men or women, young or old, they all liked to gather together and do what they liked.
This kind of life was of course very comfortable. Thinking back to his time on Earth, where he had to run around every day just to fill his stomach, his greatest joy being being able to watch a movie when he got paid. It was a world of difference from the carefree lives of the residents of Xia City.
Xia Fei felt that his life in the past was just living, and the people living here were the ones living.
The city was not big, and it did not take long for Xia Fei and Xia Zonghai to pass through it. Along the way, Xia Zonghai did not stop praising the benefits of Xia City, introducing the famous interest clubs to Xia Fei.
"Xia City seems very small. How many residents are there?" Xia Fei asked.
"Around fifty thousand," Xia Zonghai said after some thought.
"Fifty thousand!" Xia Fei was shocked. "The Skywing Clan only has fifty thousand people?!"
Xia Zonghai rolled his eyes at Xia Fei. "Why are you so surprised?"
Xia Fei loudly replied, "Of course I'm surprised! The Skywing Clan only has fifty thousand people, yet they've produced over thirty Law Emperors and even Law Emperors! This … The probability of success is too high! "
It was no wonder Xia Fei was surprised. The Yu family had over a million people, but they only had three Law Emperors and not a single Law Emperor! The Yue Clan was known as one of the Nine Great Clans of humanity. That was impressive enough, right? The entire clan had no less than three million people, but they only had forty-seven Law Emperors and three Law Emperors!
The Skywing Clan only had a population of fifty thousand, but the number of experts in the clan was comparable to the Yue Clan, which had three million people. How could Xia Fei not be shocked?
Xia Zonghai was very pleased, laughing. "Don't use the normal logic of the Law Realm to measure us. We're the Skywing Clan!"
Xia Fei stuck out his tongue. "Even if there are fifty thousand people, I didn't see them just now. It's already not bad if there are ten thousand residents living in Xia City."
Xia Zonghai laughed even harder. "Why are you staying at home if you have nothing better to do? Our Skywing Clan has a wide range of hobbies and interests, and we also love adventure. Don't think that there aren't many people in Xia City, but the universe is filled with the figures of our clan. Wherever there's danger, wherever there's something strange, someone from our clan will surely appear.
"Take Wind Gardens for example. There's usually no one there, and only me and Fifth Master Xia keep watch at home. Let me tell you one thing, and you'll understand. Do you know how I got into the Law Enforcement Board?"
Xia Fei shook his head.
Xia Zonghai thumped his chest and stamped his feet. "Sigh! Once you get into the Law Enforcement Board, you'll have to stay in the White Horse Constellation for a long time. How can our clan bear the loneliness? No one is willing to go, but the Law Enforcement Board needs a representative from Skywing, so we can only draw straws. "
Xia Fei gulped, thinking to himself, 'Well, people are all fighting to get into the yamen to fight for fame and fortune so that they can have a better future, yet Heaven's Wings actually has to draw straws to forcibly appoint someone to go in. Isn't the difference between us a little too big?'
"So you lost?" Xia Fei curiously asked.
Xia Zonghai said with a dark expression, "Just thinking about it makes me feel vexed. Why is my life so bad? I actually ran into such a chore, but my ten-year term is almost up, and I'll have to draw straws again when the time comes. I definitely won't lose to this bunch of fellows! "
Xia Fei was speechless. Xia Zonghai actually thought that the Law Enforcement Board was a chore?! If word of this got out, who knew how many fellows who racked their brains to get into the Law Enforcement Board would be vexed. The free and undisciplined nature of the Skywing Clan was evident.
In the distance, they could see a mountain thirty miles away from the city. The mountain was not very tall, but it was extremely steep, surrounded by cliffs and precipitous cliffs. A rather large, unadorned building stood alone at the peak of the mountain, accompanied only by a few spruce trees.
Xia Zonghai pointed into the distance and said, "That's the Towering Wind Pavilion on the mountain, one of the Skywing Clan's schools. Only the most talented disciples of the clan can enter."
After a pause, Xia Zonghai continued, "The reason why our clan has so many elite warriors is because of the Towering Wind Pavilion and its master, Xia Honest. Not to mention me, even the patriarch, Xia Buyun, was once Grandpa Honest's disciple."
Xia Fei was slightly stunned, feeling some admiration for the Towering Wind Pavilion and Xia Honest. To be able to nurture so many super experts, this Xia Honest was definitely not simple.
"Don't look at how free and undisciplined our clan members are, but there's a price to pay for that, especially the experts. They have to bear the heavy responsibility of protecting the clan. Those people you saw in the Wind Garden have all trained in the Towering Wind Pavilion. Of course, once they leave, the clan won't force their elites to do anything, unless they're as unlucky as me and get sent to the Law Enforcement Board." Xia Zonghai shook his head bitterly as he spoke, seemingly unwilling to recall his experiences in the Towering Wind Pavilion.
…
At the peak of the mountain, outside the main entrance of the Towering Wind Pavilion.
Up close, the Towering Wind Pavilion looked more like an ancient temple built on top of a mountain. The red walls were about three meters tall, enclosing the entire mountain peak. Outside the door were two rather old spruce trees, similar to the legendary cultivation grounds of immortals, giving off an aura of immortality.
There was no one around, but one could hear the sounds of children playing in the Towering Wind Pavilion. These must be the younger generation of the Skywing Clan who had been selected to cultivate in the Towering Wind Pavilion.
Xia Zonghai refused to enter the Towering Wind Pavilion no matter what. He mysteriously pulled Xia Fei to his side and said, "I'll send you up to here. You can go in by yourself. The patriarch has already informed Grandpa Honest.
"Seeing that we have a pretty good relationship, I'll remind you of two things. First, Grandpa Honest likes money, very much so. Second, Xia Honest isn't honest at all. "
