The pre-competition mobilization speech excited the trainees in the audience.
The cultivators were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, eager to start the competition immediately and win glory for the academy.
"...There are a total of 76 participants in this competition, with eight Nascent Soul Elders leading the teams."
Chief Elder: Elder of the Array Court, Sun Meng.
Golden Core Stage Team Leader: Huang Li.
Foundation Establishment Stage Team Leader: Song Chen.
If everyone is ready, let's set off now!
As soon as the dean finished speaking, Elder Sun Meng of the Array Court immediately flew into the air.
She waved her hand, and the space behind her became somewhat distorted.
A three-story cruise ship appeared in mid-air.
The ornately decorated pleasure boats float in the air, with the sky as their ocean.
The unsophisticated cultivators in the audience widened their eyes instantly.
Such a huge flying artifact!
How much money would that cost?!
Huang Li, dressed in a black robe, waved his sleeve and shouted:
"Golden Core cultivators, come aboard with me!"
The Golden Core cultivator leaped directly into the air and gracefully landed on the cruise ship.
Song Chen followed suit and shouted the same thing:
"Those in the Foundation Establishment stage, come aboard with me."
Song Chen lightly touched the ground with his toes and flew into the air.
The cruise ship appears even larger when viewed from above.
Song Chen thought to himself, how wonderful it would be if he also had such a flying magic weapon.
As the last cultivator boarded the ship, Elder Sun Meng of the Array Academy quickly formed a hand seal with his right hand.
One array after another was activated, and the ship flashed with light before the light disappeared.
The formation will only become visible when attacked.
Once the formation was fully activated, Song Chen noticed that Elder Sun Meng had thrown a small blue pebble into the center of the formation.
The next second, the cruise ship started moving instantly and flew rapidly northward.
Zhao Ziyi stood by the railing of the cruise ship, watching the scenery below rush by, calculating in his mind just how fast this flying magical artifact was.
It takes about an hour, or two hours, to fly from the arena to the weapon-refining peak by sword.
But the cruise was completed in just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, which is 10 minutes.
This ship is flying way too fast!
Song Chen walked over to Zhao Ziyi and looked down with him.
He asked with a smile:
"What are you looking at? I just saw the cave where we live."
Zhao Ziyi secretly transmitted his voice:
"Song Chen, this ship is flying so fast! It's 12 times faster than my flying sword."
Song Chen smiled.
"Of course, according to Elder Sun Meng, this pleasure boat is the fastest flying magic weapon in Xianhe Garden."
Moreover, flying swords aren't flying magical artifacts, so their speed is definitely much slower.
Zhao Ziyi's eyes were bright.
"Let's buy one of these flying machines too! They'll definitely be useful for escaping."
Song Chen was somewhat amused and exasperated. "Alright, we'll buy it if we find a suitable one. It'll be a good opportunity for me to take a look at the specific structure of the flying magic weapon."
Song Chen read through the library of the Weapon Refining Academy, but there were no methods for refining large flying magical artifacts.
Zhao Ziyi's eyes lit up. "That's right! Song Chen, you can refine flying magic weapons and then sell them. We can make a fortune!"
"They're obsessed with money again. If we sell the flying magic weapon, they'll use it to hunt us down. How are we supposed to escape?"
"Yes, then we won't sell them. If we do, we'll only sell the magic weapons that we've phased out."
Before leaving the academy, fearing unforeseen circumstances in the Immortal Realm Grand Competition, the two squandered their hundreds of billions of contribution points at the consignment shop, purchasing a large amount of spiritual plants, minerals, and other raw materials.
At the same time, they also sold all the spirit wine and health pills, earning real money.
After leaving the academy, they will find it difficult to find such a safe trading environment again.
If one were to sell large quantities of elixirs beneficial to spiritual practice outside.
That's like selling a death warrant.
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi are now quite well-off.
That's when I got the idea to buy a cruise ship.
Elder Sun Meng said that they would arrive at Zhuoyangchuan in three hours.
During this time, the cultivators scattered on the deck of the cruise ship, gathering in twos and threes to chat and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi stood in a secluded corner, leaning against the railing and chatting.
The further north they went, the more large flying magical artifacts they encountered.
Similar forces can be seen both ahead and behind along the shipping lane.
There are more than a dozen boats like the one at Xianhe Garden that can be seen from the sky.
Zhao Ziyi explained to Song Chen the division of power in the original work.
"On the Tianyan Continent, there are a total of 48 major and minor forces, 13 academies, 20 sects, nine great families, and six great dynasties..."
These forces vary in size.
Academies like Xianheyuan are considered to be of medium to low strength and size.
They usually live deep in the mountains and forests, a place where outstanding people and resources are scarce, and they are even under the jurisdiction of the Yanhuo Dynasty.
Song Chen asked curiously:
"What is the ranking of Langya Academy?"
Zhao Ziyi narrowed his eyes and said:
"Mu Feng is the protagonist, so naturally everything about him is the best. Langya Academy is ranked first among all academies, and its overall strength ranks among the top three."
Song Chen crossed his arms, pondering just how strong Langya Academy really was.
He hadn't seen much of the world; his limited perspective was limited to what he had seen in Xianhe Garden.
"Song Chen, look behind you!"
Zhao Ziyi exclaimed in surprise and patted Song Chen on the shoulder.
Song Chen squinted and looked back.
A huge flying shuttle is rapidly approaching.
Although the distance was far, the shuttle was three times the size of the cruise ship in the Fairy River Garden.
The two characters "Langya" are engraved on the flying shuttle, which is the flying artifact of Langya Academy.
During Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi's observation, the shuttle quickly closed the distance.
Zhao Ziyi stared intently at the scene.
Just then, I saw a young man in pink standing against the wind in front of the shuttle.
His hair swayed gently behind him, and a simple white jade hairpin adorned his head.
A red dot on his handsome face caught the eye.
Her aloof appearance was quite eye-catching.
Exclamations of surprise rang out from the cruise ship at Xianhe Garden.
"Who is this person? I've never seen him before?"
"So handsome, a guy who looks like a celestial being."
"He has a noble and aloof demeanor; he is the most elegant young man I have ever met."
Everyone in Xianhe Garden came to the railing.
They looked longingly at the person holding onto the railing.
Just so I could get a closer look at that guy in pink.
Zhao Ziyi's eyes flickered, and he was somewhat surprised.
Is that guy in pink Mu Feng?
Why is it different from three years ago?
Has Mu Feng's temperament changed that much in three years?
Song Chen transmitted his voice in surprise:
"This person is Mu Feng? I'm not seeing things, am I?"
Zhao Ziyi's heart sank.
"That's exactly how Mu Feng is described in the original work."
Pure and immaculate, incomparably handsome.
Only someone like this can stir up trouble on the Tianyan Continent and make all men fall for her.
Song Chen asked suspiciously:
"How is Mu Feng described in the book three years ago?"
"A childlike heart, innocent and pure, delicate and charming."
Zhao Ziyi had a suspicion: Could Mu Feng, like him, have transmigrated from Earth into the book?
Otherwise, how can such a big change be explained?
