Zu An's expression hardened, and he directly unleashed a sword aura to disperse the incoming gale force.
He had just breathed a sigh of relief when his expression suddenly changed, because he sensed that the surrounding air surged again, quickly forming a fierce gale that attacked him once more.
He was so fast that he didn't have time to think and directly attacked again, shattering it.
However, he immediately frowned, because he realized that this time the gale was much stronger than before.
Just then, the surrounding air surged again, and a cloud began to gather overhead, with dark clouds rolling inside and faint flashes of lightning. There was an inexplicable sense of impending doom in the air.
"Come down quickly!" Jing Teng's voice was somewhat anxious.
Zu An's heart skipped a beat, and he jumped down from above. He was originally on guard against whether those mysterious gales would pursue him, but after guarding against them for a while, the gales seemed to have lost their target and returned to calm.
The clouds that had been gathering in the sky gradually dispersed, revealing a clear sky once again.
Zu An said in a deep voice, "Is there a restriction in the sky?"
“That’s right,” Jing Teng nodded. “A long, long time ago, the path between heaven and man was severed, and a new layer of restriction was added to the sky. No one has been able to go up to the sky for a long time.”
"But I sensed that although those gales were strong, there were ways to deal with them." Zuan pondered that with his strength, he could still continue to advance.
“It’s no use,” Jing Teng shook his head slightly. “Did you feel that the gale suddenly became stronger just now?”
“Yes,” Zuan replied, “but there’s always a limit to how strong it can get.”
“There are no limits,” Jing Teng explained slowly, seeing the surprised looks on their faces. “Throughout countless years, countless brilliant cultivators have tried to ascend to see what lies beyond, but no matter how strong they were, they all failed in the end.”
"Later, everyone finally figured it out: the power of the gale in the sky is linked to your strength. The stronger you are, the stronger the gale you encounter. This is why no one can ever break through the sky."
Qiu Honglei exclaimed, "It sounds like some kind of large-scale formation?"
“Many seniors who are proficient in formations have studied this and found that what is above the sky is not a formation,” Jing Teng paused, “but rather the rules of the Heavenly Dao.”
Everyone fell silent instantly. The rules of Heaven were truly beyond human power to contend with.
Zu An said in a deep voice, "If we can't fly in the sky, then according to your previous description, this place is more than ten thousand miles away from Zhichuan. How long would it take us to walk there?"
Jing Teng pondered for a moment: "Originally, I planned to go to a nearby town to find some spirit beasts for transportation, but I just noticed yours..."
Her gaze fell on the burning wheels at Zuan's feet.
“Wind and Fire Wheels,” Zuan replied.
Jing Teng nodded: "Those spirit beasts are not as fast as your Wind and Fire Wheels, so you should use your Wind and Fire Wheels."
Zuan asked in confusion, "Didn't they say we couldn't fly?"
Jing Teng pointed her jade finger to the sky: "It just means you can't exceed a certain altitude. Flying at low altitudes won't have much of an impact."
Zuan was taken aback, recalling the situation just now, and realized that was indeed the case.
However, flying at low altitudes results in significant wind resistance, making it difficult to achieve the speed of the Wind and Fire Wheels. Of course, it is still much faster than walking.
"Then I'll take you guys." Zu An looked at everyone, and was immediately in a dilemma. Qiu Honglei was fine, he could just hug her from the side, but there were also Jing Teng and Wei Suo. He couldn't exactly carry them both.
Jing Teng seemed to sense his predicament, and suddenly extended a vine from her hand to him: "Just hold onto me."
"And what about me?" Vesso was dumbfounded. "I can't fly."
Jing Teng glanced at him, then suddenly extended several vines and wrapped them around him: "As long as you're fast enough, you won't fall."
Vesso: "???"
In the end, Zuan carried Qiu Honglei and flew ahead on his Wind and Fire Wheels. A few meters behind him, Jing Teng followed calmly. Further behind was Wei Suo, who was bound like a rice dumpling and dragged along, looking utterly hopeless.
Qiu Honglei nestled in his arms, her face slightly flushed. She felt shy but mostly happy. Being able to be so close to her lover made her suddenly realize that the unknown risks of the world were nothing.
She looked down at the fire wheels beneath her feet, her eyes filled with wonder: "Won't the fire on these burn us?"
Feeling her slender and soft waist, Zu An smiled and said, "No, the fire on this is connected to my mind and won't hurt you. Feel free to step on it and try it."
Qiu Honglei tentatively stretched out her foot, and sure enough, she only felt a warm flame enveloping her foot, without any burning sensation. Her eyes lit up: "Really!"
...
Watching the young couple in front of him whispering sweet nothings to each other, Jing Teng behind him seemed a little dazed, as if he was recalling various things from the past. However, his expression quickly turned cold, clearly indicating that it was not a pleasant experience.
With four people on board, the speed of the Wind and Fire Wheels was inevitably affected. In addition, they were flying at low altitude, so the group's speed was much slower than when the Wind and Fire Wheels were at their peak.
However, we still covered over a thousand miles in a single day. We could have covered even more, but we encountered various dangers along the way that required our attention.
There were robbers who blocked the road, people who coveted Qiu Honglei and Jing Teng's beauty, demons who craved their flesh and blood, and even people who were curious about what Wei Suo, who was being dragged along behind them, was.
However, Zu An's cultivation level is now very high, and with Qiu Honglei assisting him, he is truly invincible.
Qiu Honglei's expression grew increasingly excited; she really enjoyed the feeling of fighting alongside Zuan.
