Astral winds howled as a huge flying boat tore through the air, advancing rapidly.
Su Yin had already set off with more than two hundred disciples.
Driving the ship still required a lot of energy, but with so many disciples and the help of Xu Chong and the others, it was no longer a problem.
Standing on the deck and looking at the sect that he had lived in for ten years, it became smaller and smaller until it disappeared from his sight. He was filled with emotions. Even though he knew that he would have to take this step sooner or later, he did not expect it to be so soon.
He had only left the forbidden area for six days, and he was about to head to an unknown alliance.
"Junior Uncle, only the three of us are going. Isn't it... too little?" Wu Yuan came forward worriedly.
The elders he brought this time were Wu Yuan, Yuan Buyi, and the Thirteenth Elder, Mu Kaishan. Sun Tinghe, Zhang Liaoqing, and the others stayed behind.
Once the sect was evaluated, there would be at least three elders. If they were injured... wouldn't they be a burden?
"There are still many things in the sect that need someone to deal with!" Su Yin shook his head.
This time, Sun Zhao did not bring him along.
After yesterday's lesson, he had made another breakthrough, reaching the second-grade from the first-grade of Heritage. His understanding of swordsmanship had also improved. If he met Xu Chong again with the Frostsnow Soul Stealing Hook, he would be able to put up a fight.
With an expert of this level guarding the sect, the sect would be much safer. Otherwise, if all of them left and some ignorant small sects were to cause trouble, they would not be able to defend themselves.
Donkey, the parrot, and the Three Beasts were brought along as well, and they were resting not far away. As for the Violet Golden Eagle, it had just woken up, but its injuries had not healed yet. Seeing that its master had a flying ship, its presence was even lower, and its eyes were filled with resentment.
"Don't worry, if there's really a competition, we'll act according to the situation. If there's really no other choice, we can make Donkey, the parrot, and the others elders and let them fight..." Seeing that the other party was still worried, Su Yin smiled.
Wu Yuan's mouth twitched.
Make them elders?
Ah … Speaking of which, there were indeed other sects that had allowed their pet beasts to become elders. Flood Dragon Bai Yuan of the Qingyun Sect and Great Ape Hong Qian of the Heyang Sect were not only elders, but they also held high positions in the sect.
If they were really allowed to become Elders, with their ability to easily beat up Elder Fei, Xu Chong, and the others, there might not be any Sects in the Great Yan Prefecture that could go against them.
"With your words, I'm relieved …" Wu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.
"Elder Xu, with our speed, how long will it take to reach the Alliance's Great Dragon Mountain?"
Ignoring him, Su Yin turned to look at Elder Xu Chong.
"Martial Uncle's flying boat has a Swift Travel Formation that is close to perfection. Coupled with the Stabilizing Formation, it is extremely powerful and fast … If nothing goes wrong, we will reach the Imperial City of the Great Yan Prefecture by this afternoon, the Great Yan Imperial City."
After sensing the speed, Xu Chong explained, "Great Dragon Mountain is not far from the Imperial Capital."
"Fortunately, it won't take too long!" Su Yin nodded.
Even a Zongshi realm expert would have to fly for two days, but with the help of a flying boat, they could reach the Great Yan Prefecture within a day. It had to be said that this flying boat was indeed a godly artifact for long-distance flight.
As for why they didn't head to the Great Dragon Mountain directly, Xu Chong had already explained that the Alliance was a secluded power, just like the sects. The Alliance was holding a Sect Leader Assembly, not a competition. With so many disciples and elders present, there was no need for them to head there together.
It would be better for them to head to the Imperial City of the Great Yan Prefecture.
Looking at the young man before him, Xu Chong was filled with admiration and respect.
Yesterday, the 'firecrackers' had been set off one after another, going off all the way into the middle of the night. It was as if they were celebrating the new year. When they saw it again in the morning, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Regardless of whether it was the disciples or the elders, they had all advanced by at least two realms. Wu Yuan had even broken through the bottleneck of Zongshi realm, becoming a Zongshi realm 1-dan expert!
Not only that, but their understanding of swordsmanship had also improved greatly. The disciples who could only perform seven forms of the 36 Forms of Immortal Subduing had all reached the tenth form, and those who could perform the sixteenth form had all reached the eighteenth form. In short, the more than 200 disciples and elders had all made great progress overnight. It was as if they had cultivated for two or three years!
Although they had been mentally prepared, when they saw it with their own eyes, they were still so shocked that they almost fainted.
Geniuses were proud and aloof. They cultivated very quickly, but when it came to explaining things to others, they were usually very weak. Because of this, they had always thought that this Young Martial Uncle wouldn't be very good at teaching. At this moment, they finally understood how childish that thought was!
He turned to look at Mo Yuan and Bai Yiyi.
The former Sect Leader of the Qingyun Sect had also followed him. Not only that, but her cultivation had also improved, reaching Zongshi realm 4-dan. As for Bai Yiyi, her improvement was even greater. From Zongshi realm 1-dan, she had broken through four realms and reached Zongshi realm 5-dan!
In particular, her understanding of swordsmanship had improved from a complete novice to a beginner in just one night … How terrifying!
Before leaving the Refining Hall, he had always thought that the Zhenxian Sect was the weakest and most inconspicuous among the top ten sects. Now, he realized that this weak sect had undergone a transformation and could no longer be underestimated.
All these changes were due to the young man beside him, and it had only taken him less than six days.
"Is there any danger on the way?" Su Yin continued to ask, not knowing what he was thinking. Didn't they say that the Cultivation World was a place where the strong preyed on the weak? Flying so far, there shouldn't be any accidents, right?
Xu Chong was speechless. "Even if there were, they wouldn't dare to make trouble when they saw such a large flying boat at such a fast speed!"
Ordinary cultivators would definitely be in danger if they flew such a long distance, but they were different. Not to mention that there were as many as six or seven masters above the Inheritance Realm. With such a fast speed, even if they wanted to rob them, they would have to catch up first.
In Xu Chong's eyes, Su Yin, Donkey, the parrot, and the tortoise were all masters above the Inheritance Realm. The Great Demon hadn't shown his cultivation, so his strength was unknown, but he was definitely not weaker than him.
Those who had planned to investigate in the morning had all run to the front, but … they smelled an indescribable odor. They had to admit defeat, as if they hadn't washed their socks for many days.
In the legends, The Great Demon was very proud and paid great attention to his image. When they saw him in person, he bowed to the donkey, the bird, and the tortoise, and he made it so smelly … Xu Chong didn't know if the books had remembered wrongly or if this guy was a fake.
After sighing, Xu Chong felt that this guy was worrying too much. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "But …"
"But what?" Su Yin turned to look at him.
"If we travel in a straight line, we might have to pass by the Ten Thousand Pythons Mountain. This place isn't under the jurisdiction of any of the Ten Great Sects, and it's guarded by a [Green-Scaled Python]. It has always been at odds with cultivators!"
Xu Chong thought for a moment and said, "If anyone dares to cause trouble, it might make a move! However, this fellow's cultivation is about the same as mine. It's at Inheritance Realm 3-dan, so there's nothing to be afraid of. The only problem is that it's good at releasing poisonous miasma. Once I smell it … with my strength, it'll be difficult for me to get rid of it in a short period of time … "
"Poisonous miasma?"
"It's a kind of green-gray smoke that can numb a cultivator's soul. The last time we came here, we were afraid of trouble, so we took a detour. Over the years, many experts have been poisoned and killed by it. The Alliance once wanted to send someone to get rid of it, but unfortunately, they couldn't find a suitable candidate, so they left it at that. "
Xu Chong explained.
"Oh? The Alliance can't send someone who can kill it? "Su Yin was puzzled.
"That's not it. It's just that this fellow is very cunning. Once it sees danger, it will hide in its nest. After many years of operation, the poisonous miasma in its nest is extremely thick. It'll be difficult for experts at Inheritance Realm 5-dan to escape unscathed. In addition, there are a lot of disciples and grand-disciples inside. If we really want to encircle and annihilate it, we'll need an expert at Inheritance Realm 6-dan to lead the team and at least three experts at Inheritance Realm 5-dan. The loss outweighs the gain …"
Xu Chong said.
Su Yin came to a sudden realization.
The Alliance wasn't a nanny. Under normal circumstances, they would guard the Great Dragon Mountain and rarely come out. Although this green-scaled Python was very powerful, as long as it didn't actively run out to kill people, they would be too lazy to come out.
In a world of cultivation dominated by humans, demonic beasts had to be given some space. Otherwise, if they were forced to rebel, humans would also be in trouble.
Just like what Xu Chong said, they flew very fast. At a glance, one could tell that they weren't easy to deal with. They didn't even encounter a single demonic beast along the way. Around noon, a sprawling mountain indeed appeared in their sight.
The mountain wasn't very tall, only two to three thousand meters tall. However, it was shrouded in a green-gray fog, appearing somewhat sinister.
With so many experts around, Su Yin wasn't afraid. He looked over curiously.
Below the fog, he could vaguely see many small snakes swimming around. Rather than calling it the Ten Thousand Python Mountain, it was more accurate to call it the Snake Mountain.
"There should be a lot of Ten Thousand Snake Grass here, right?" Su Yin's eyes lit up.
"Ten Thousand Snake Grass?" Xu Chong was stunned for a moment. "Could it be some kind of precious medicinal herb used to concoct pills?"
"It's used to brew wine. A senior who taught me wine tasting once said that wine brewed with Ten Thousand Snake Grass has a wonderful taste that makes one forget to leave. He once drank it once and got drunk for three days. The aftertaste was endless." Su Yin smiled.
Xu Chong was a little speechless. He was slightly curious. "Junior Uncle knows wine tasting?"
"I've learned a little." Su Yin nodded.
He had learned wine tasting relatively late, and it mainly trained his tongue. Regardless of the age of the wine, as long as he took a sip, he would be able to deduce the age and composition of the wine.
However … he still hadn't figured out which occupation this skill corresponded to. In any case, when he was learning it, the lingering spirit had given him many bizarre liquids. Some of them didn't smell like alcohol at all, but they were very addictive. After drinking one, he would have a headache for several days.
To learn wine tasting, one had to know how to brew wine as well. The Ten Thousand Snake Wine was one of them.
"Junior Uncle, do you intend to pluck the Ten Thousand Snake Grass?" Xu Chong asked. "If all of the successors were to make a move together, there might be a chance …"
"There's no need for that." Su Yin shook his head. "Even though I've learned wine tasting, I'm not too interested in it. It's just a casual remark. "
Xu Chong nodded. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he saw a barrier of clouds above the Ten Thousand Python Mountain, blocking their path.
Following which, a massive python, reminiscent of a serpent, floated in the air. It gazed at the crowd coldly.
"Green-Scaled Python!"
Xu Chong's eyes narrowed. The faces of the crowd on the deck also turned grim.
They thought that they would be able to rush over, but who could have thought that the other party would make preparations in advance to block their path with the poisonous miasma?
Su Yin took a closer look. The python was several hundred meters long, and its scales were green-black, reminiscent of those of a dragon. Under the illumination of the sun, it reflected a dazzling radiance. Its aura was deep and powerful, making it seem unfathomable.
