Chapter 1256: Chapter 960: Extreme East Secret Realm
"Senior brother, are you talking about the Four Symbols Divine Beasts, Black Tortoise and Azure Dragon?" The younger sister listened with a confused expression and looked up at him to ask, "Are they staying in Mr. Jiang’s small courtyard?"
Xie Chenyuan nodded in response, "To be precise, it’s the future Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon, and White Tiger..."
He pointed to the mountain peak occupied by Shi Hu and explained, "That Senior Shi Hu is the future White Tiger, but still recovering from injuries. Once healed, he should go out to practice."
Cang Rui furrowed his eyebrows slightly, "Xie Chenyuan, who did you hear this from?"
"The ancestor, of course!" The other party said in surprise, "Could it be... the ancestor didn’t tell the Sect Leader? During the Void journey, it encountered an opportunity, and perhaps it can also ascend to become a Divine Beast!"
Cang Rui thought to himself, well, these secrets are starting to be openly discussed?
Thinking it over, it seems there’s nothing that can’t be discussed. Even if word gets out, most cultivators wouldn’t believe it and would mock the idea of ascending as madness; even those who believe couldn’t possibly snatch the ancestor’s opportunity.
Especially with Senior Yan Xuan, it’s already a great benevolence not to rob others; who would dare to rob it?
Nonetheless, he still gestured and indicated, "We, of the Cloud Concealment Sect, are simply guests here. Remember not to spread any news learned in the small courtyard to the outside."
All the disciples acknowledged him and grew increasingly curious about those seniors—living under the same roof with the future Four Symbols Divine Beasts, what a fortune!
Getting even a bit of guidance by chance would be a lifetime benefit!
"But...," the younger sister was still a bit puzzled, softly asking, "Senior brother, aren’t Yan Xuan and Shi Hu, those seniors, Mr. Jiang’s spirit pets? I just heard someone leaving the retreat also called him ’Master,’ isn’t this against the rules?"
Can Four Symbols Divine Beasts even acknowledge a master?
What kind of status must the master have to bear the future Divine Beast’s acknowledgement as ’Master’, or even a bow?
Cang Rui glanced at her and reminded, "This is not something we are qualified to know. To command the future three Divine Beasts and to provide the ancestor with a chance to ascend as a Divine Beast, even when we’re able to ascend to immortality in the future, we won’t have the qualification to delve into it.
Cultivate well; this move by the ancestor has brought our Cloud Concealment Sect a great opportunity. Whoever can grasp it, the future’s bright path is limitless!"
He gazed for a long time in the direction Mr. Jiang left, filled with hope and anticipation.
Meanwhile, aboard the Immortal Ship, Huo Jun was filled with questions, "Master, isn’t your small courtyard located in the Human World? It’s daytime now; the Wilderness has ascended; logically it should first be transmitted to the Wilderness World, then sail east."
"Look outside," Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, thinking it’s just about clicking to switch homesteads; so simple!
With doubt, he looked out the porthole, and was immediately stunned—outside was an endless ocean?
How could this be? Isn’t the small courtyard located on the deserted island in the Human World called Shuiyun Lake, how could it have reached the ocean in such a short time? Besides, he didn’t sense any spiritual power fluctuation from teleportation, how did the master accomplish it?
"This is the Chaotic Stone Sea, from here to the Land of the Far East, the journey is much shorter." Jiang Yuan did not explain much, indicating him to wait patiently.
Huo Jun complied, staring at the azure waves and blue sky outside the porthole, unable to figure out how to instantly arrive at the Chaotic Stone Sea from the small courtyard.
The swift Free High sped across the ocean, heading straight for the Land of the Far East. Shortly after, flying past the coastline, the scenery outside the porthole turned into the winter scenes of a barren forest.
"Whoosh!"
An oddly shaped shadow swept over the city.
A demon cultivator sensed it, excitedly jumping up to summon the Immortal Ship forward to pursue. While chasing, they used the Memory Stone to record the increasingly distant flying object ahead, flipping it to send to the group of flying enthusiasts.
"I discovered the ’monster’s’ traces! Just passed over Aoyue City! Heading directly east!"
"After being silent for a while, finally reemerging, fellow cultivators, we must seize the chance and not let the ’monster’ disappear again! "
"I’m teleporting to Shihan City east of Aoyue City, hoping to see the ’monster’ clearly myself."
"Damn it! Can’t catch up at all! It’s too fast!"
"This ’monster’ is so strange, whether it’s an Immortal Ship or some flying vessel; it must be powered by spiritual power. Just now, I saw it flash by without detecting any spiritual power fluctuation."
"Fellow cultivators, do you think it’s possible that this ’monster’ is not of a flight device type we’re familiar with? Perhaps it’s an extraterrestrial object?"
"Whatever it is, let’s catch up first!"
"Attempt to intercept! Not catch up, I’ve said it countless times, chasing is impossible; we can only preemptively reach the area it will pass through and try to intercept!"
"What to do if it is actually intercepted? If it’s truly extraterrestrial, it might have no intention of communication with us and resort to wholesale slaughter! Everyone, be careful and stay safe."
"If it’s indeed extraterrestrial, we should clarify what it is and why it comes to the Wilderness World..."
........
The group chat was lively, and the cultivators were highly motivated.
Soon, many keen enthusiasts chased for a glimpse, willing to risk daylight dangers of being targeted by Great Demon Beasts above Wilderness by flying their own crafts towards the cities reported by witnesses.
"Master, look outside, isn’t it said that daytime above the Wilderness is very dangerous? Why are the demon cultivators so active?" Huo Jun keenly noticed something amiss, and from the porthole everything outside flashed by.
