Free Web NovelChapter 573: Chapter 382: Optical Invisibility_2
This is one of the fatal flaws of being too large: clumsiness.
In comparison, the smaller Wang Ye can break the sound barrier in half a second,
and is far more agile than the Eagle.
Wang Ye rode on the Eagle, slowly soaring into the sky thousands of meters high, where everything was surrounded by mist and clouds with almost no reference points. Yet, Wang Ye could judge from the speed of the airflow that his current speed had already surpassed sonic speeds.
The feathers on the surface of the Eagle’s body scattered all the light that shone upon it. From a closer distance, one might be able to see its outline, but being kilometers away, coupled with the enveloping clouds, it was almost impossible for anyone to see the Eagle beneath Wang Ye with the naked eye.
Wang Ye rode the Eagle on a circle around the nearby city district. His speed increased rapidly, each flap would instantly heighten the speed, approaching twice the speed of sound, yet while gliding, the speed would gradually drop to about 1 Mach, after which the Eagle would flap its wings again to increase the speed.
He sat stably on the Eagle’s back, his posture steady. Despite the terrifying airflow blowing against him, it couldn’t shake him even slightly, making him look just like the Divine Eagle Hero from martial arts novels.
At this moment.
On the bustling city district below,
countless people stopped in their tracks simultaneously.
"Did something just pass by in the sky?"
"It seems so, with a whoosh sound."
"It sounds somewhat like the noise from a civilian airplane."
"But civilian airplanes aren’t that loud, are they? And they don’t travel that fast unless they are close to the ground, otherwise, they wouldn’t make such a loud noise..."
"Could it be that there’s trouble with the civilian flight?"
Everyone raised their heads wanting to see what made that sound.
But upon looking up, all they saw in the sky was a long strip of mist.
As if something had parted the sky in half.
"This cloud looks so strange."
"Just moments ago, there wasn’t this cloud."
"Could it be a jet? Do jets fly this fast?"
After hearing the sound, most people instinctively raised their heads,
but did not see the shadow of any flying object.
This means that in the instant they reacted,
the flying object disappeared beyond their visible range.
As is well known, the speed of sound propagation is very fast,
and for the flying object to vanish before the sound reached,
it implies the flying object is likely faster than the sound...
"Could it be fighter jet exercises?" With that, various speculations surged in everyone’s mind.
Meanwhile, related departments around also noticed the unidentified high-speed flying object, and immediately, all staff in related departments were put on alert, ready for action, as the supersonic unidentified flying object appeared in the domestic high skies, and above bustling city, no small matter.
If it were a bomber from an enemy nation, they’d be doomed.

Meanwhile,
Wang Ye had returned the Eagle to the mountain,
after making arrangements, he returned to his parent’s residence.
Before he could reach the front door,
his mother apparently sensed his presence in advance, and opened the door, smiling joyfully upon seeing Wang Ye, saying:
"I felt your presence all of a sudden, so it’s really you that’s back!"
Now, both parents had been assimilated by Wang Ye to reach human peak level standard. Naturally, their Five Senses were also keen enough to sense Wang Ye’s presence from miles away without difficulty.
"Mom, how have you been lately?" Wang Ye stepped inside, saying: "I’m planning to go abroad for a while, and came home before that to check on how you are doing, and to also assess your cultivation progress."
"Your dad and I have been diligently training these days, certainly making significant progress since last time!" His mother said confidently.
Wang Ye glanced at the Primordial Qi within his mother,
indeed, her cultivation has made noticeable progress since his last departure.
If last time, her cultivation was at Qi Refining First Stage, now it’s around Qi Refining Fifth Stage. Although there’s still a gap to reaching Foundation Establishment Stage for Sword Flight, her current strength is quite considerable. If she mobilizes her entire Primordial Qi, she should be able to shatter a brick wall with one punch.
At this moment, his father also came out of the room, Wang Ye turned his head for a look, his father’s cultivation level wasn’t far off from his mother’s, seeming like they usually trained together.
"Xiao Ye, are you preparing to go abroad again?" His father asked with perplexing emotion.
Having been endowed with these extraordinary abilities, they were very curious about Wang Ye’s mysterious powers, but one thing they could absolutely confirm was that with Wang Ye’s current capabilities, acquiring wealth and power would be extremely easy, so they didn’t quite understand why Wang Ye was still so busy running around.
What they didn’t know is that everything Wang Ye is currently doing is not for money or power, but to obtain better resources to strengthen his prowess.
"Yes," Wang Ye replied: "But I won’t be away too long this time, maybe just a week or two, but still wanted to return to inform you both."
"One or two weeks, that’s fine," his father’s expression eased slightly, as he suddenly recalled something, urging him, "By the way, Xiao Ye, the news just mentioned some unidentified flying object appeared over the city. It’s speculated to be a fighter jet from the Beautiful Country next door. Pay attention when you’re outdoors."
"Unidentified flying object?" Wang Ye instantly connected the dots, realizing it was definitely the activity of him soaring around the surrounding area on the Eagle that got broadcasted on the news.
With that thought, Wang Ye jestingly asked: "Guess who caused the commotion, thought to be an unidentified flying object?"
"Could it be you?" His mother asked with wide-open eyes.
"Of course," Wang Ye said: "I just returned and an unidentified flying object appears, where else would such a coincidence come from?"
"Do you mean to say, you can fly now?" His parents asked in amazement.
After long-term training, they have vaguely perceived the Primordial Qi within themselves, seems usable as Telekinesis,
But given their unit amount of Primordial Qi, using Telekinesis to lift utensils could already tire them out, let alone lifting themselves.
Even if their power grows strong enough in the future to lift themselves, briefly floating mid-air wouldn’t mean flying long-term at high speeds.
As such an endeavor would consume a terrifying amount of Primordial Qi units.
And in the recent news, the unidentified flying object had clearly soared to thousands of meters high, and its speed was likely no less than supersonic.
Could Wang Ye already achieve this flying speed with Telekinesis?
"I’ve been able to fly for a while now, but that unidentified flying object wasn’t me flying; it was the Eagle I raised. I can take you both to see it later." Wang Ye explained.
Saying so, he then used Primordial Qi to make himself float, showcasing his free-flying ability to his parents.
Enviously watching, his parents couldn’t help but say, "When can we also learn to fly?"
Older generations, alongside most people from ancient times, comprehended transcendence and the Immortals as being able to fly, hence the legendary Immortals have Divine Techniques or Magical Treasures mostly involving flying, like Sun Wukong’s Somersault Cloud, Nezha’s Wind and Fire Wheel, and so forth.
Therefore, his parents were so envious about Wang Ye’s flying ability, not just them, but pull any ordinary person around, they’d likely envy until drooling. Who hasn’t fantasized about freely soaring high in the skies as a child?
Seeing them so envious, Wang Ye smiled and said:
"Don’t worry, I’ve returned this time to teach you both to fly."
His plan this time is to first teach them Creation Skill, using Mediation Creation to transform their bodies, making them more resilient.
"Really?" His parents asked, filled with excitement.
