Chapter 425: 444: A Trip to Shu State
Chapter 425: Chapter 444: A Trip to Shu State
In the Divinity Continent, within the southwest region of Shu State.
Shu State, a rather barren large province, is practically at the bottom of the Divinity Continent in terms of prosperity.
There are not a few cultivators within the state, but they are mostly at the bottom tier of combat power, with almost no top-tier strength.
There is only one Holy Land in Shu State, which is quite standard.
After all, in the middle and lower provinces of the Divinity Continent, it’s common to have just one Holy Land.
However, the Holy Land in Shu State is somewhat different.
The scarcity of the state’s resources for cultivation has led to a very weak spirit of the land in Shu State.
It would be more accurate to say that there is one major Sect in Shu State rather than a Holy Land…
Above the firmament of Shu State,
A mighty Canglong dragon soars through the sky.
As the enormous body of the Canglong twists and turns, the winds surge and clouds billow around it, followed by peals of thunder.
From time to time, bizarre roars echo through the heavens and earth.
Wuhu!!!
If anyone could get close to the Canglong, they would notice a little golden figure emitting a blinding light standing atop the dragon’s head.
This golden figure was none other than Chu Yuan.
At this moment,
Chu Yuan stood atop the Canglong’s head, holding a map in his hands.
This was a map he had obtained from a cultivator after entering Shu State, which details all the cities within.
After a thorough search, Chu Yuan finally located this place called ‘Shu Jiong City.’
“Ao Yu, fly in the southeast direction,”
Chu Yuan said firmly to Ao Yu after checking the direction on the map and getting a rough idea of their position.
“Yes, Sect Master,”
Ao Yu replied and twisted his body to fly towards the southeast.
“The direction is a bit off, shift a little more towards the southeast…”
“Roger that, Sect Master.”
“Now, a bit more to the south…”
“Okay…”
Chu Yuan continued to correct their course.
Ao Yu could only listen to Chu Yuan’s instructions with a forced smile.
After constantly adjusting their position,
They finally approached ‘Shu Jiong City.’
Ao Yu was also beyond words.
It was agreed that the last time was indeed the last time.
But unexpectedly, he was ridden again.
Facing Chu Yuan’s deadly stare, he really did not dare to say much.
He could only mutter to himself, “The last time.”
The two arrived outside Shu Jiong City and quietly observed the ancient-looking city before them.
“Sect Master, shall we enter the city now?”
Ao Yu asked in a low voice, looking at Chu Yuan, whose body emitted golden light.
“No rush, wait.”
Chu Yuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, floating in mid-air, his gaze fixed on the inside of Shu Jiong City as if pondering something.
“Um, Sect Master, can we discuss something?”
Ao Yu suddenly said in a soft voice.
“Hmm? What is it?”
Chu Yuan looked at Ao Yu in surprise and asked.
“Sect Master, next time can we find a mount? Perhaps a dragon from the Dragon Clan like me? After all, I’m a Guardian Beast of the Sect Master. Always being used as a mount, it’s not good for the image of our Wayless Sect if word gets out…”
Ao Yu murmured.
“Are you implying that being ridden by this Sect Master is beneath you?”
Chu Yuan’s gaze was deep as he looked at Ao Yu.
“No! No! Sect Master, that’s not what I meant. I’m just worried about losing face for our Sect!”
Ao Yu hastily explained, clearly startled.
“Alright, you look for one later and see if there are other dragons willing to come.”
Chu Yuan gestured dismissively, not wanting to dwell on this matter.
“You got it.”
Ao Yu immediately nodded, visibly excited.
His mood instantly brightened.
It seemed he was very content with the prospect of no longer being a mount.
He had already begun to ponder which whelp from the Dragon Clan would be suitable to call upon.
Meanwhile.
Chu Yuan squinted at the city of Shu Jiong before him.
All he knew was that there was a worthless fellow here, indicated by the Divination Tube.
But he had no idea where exactly the person was.
In such a vast city, he couldn’t possibly search every corner.
Perhaps he should consult the Divination Tube again for more detailed information?
With that thought in mind.
Chu Yuan fell silent for a moment.
In the end, he chose to pick up the Divination Tube, seeking more detailed information from it.
After silently formulating his question in his mind, he began to shake the Divination Tube.
Soon, a divination slip fell out.
Chu Yuan picked up the slip and began to read it.
‘Outside Shu Jiong City, in the Fanlong Mountain, Small Bridge Flowing Water Household’
Outside Shu Jiong City, there was a place named Fanlong Mountain, and the home by the small bridge over flowing water was where he was supposed to find this person?
Chu Yuan instantly grasped the meaning of the divination slip’s message.
However, he was quite speechless about the Divination Tube.
Why couldn’t it express the message in easy-to-understand terms?
Instead, it had to conjure all these roundabout clues.
“Ao Yu, follow me.”
Chu Yuan beckoned to Ao Yu with a slight wave of his hand, his gaze sweeping from side to side.
Then his eyes settled on the only large mountain outside Shu Jiong City.
The mountain wasn’t particularly tall, but it was long and continuous, stretching out in the distance like a writhing dragon.
Without a doubt, that mountain was the so-called Fanlong Mountain.
Chu Yuan immediately flew towards the mountain.
“Ah? Sect Master, wait for me.”
Seeing Chu Yuan leave, Ao Yu quickly suppressed the many thoughts in his mind and followed after him.
The two of them, one after the other, arrived at Fanlong Mountain.
Chu Yuan, boosted by the Invincible State, was so fast that he seemed to teleport to the middle of the mountain.
Compared to Chu Yuan, Ao Yu’s speed was clearly much, much slower.
By the time Chu Yuan had finished surveying the entire mountain,
Ao Yu had just flown over.
“Ao Yu, your speed won’t do, practice more in the future,” said Chu Yuan as he glanced back at Ao Yu.
“Sect Master, it’s not that I’m too slow, it’s that you… you’re too fast,” Ao Yu retorted weakly.
He was dumbfounded by Chu Yuan’s speed for a long time.
Considering how fast Sect Master Chu was, why did he need a mount in the first place?
It would take him several days to fly from East State to Shu State,
but with Sect Master Chu’s speed, he probably wouldn’t need even an hour…
So fast, why still use him?
Ao Yu, who didn’t understand what ‘prestige’ meant, found this very puzzling.
“Forget about that, just follow behind me and don’t speak,” Chu Yuan instructed, heading into Fanlong Mountain.
“Yes, Sect Master,” Ao Yu responded.
He got up and followed after Chu Yuan.
The two moved through Fanlong Mountain.
Quickly.
Chu Yuan led Ao Yu to the edge of a forest in Fanlong Mountain.
There was a stream by the forest, where a few households eked out a living.
Standing in the firmament, Chu Yuan could see those few homes at a glance.
All the homes were thatched cottages.
One look was all it took to see everything inside clearly.
There was almost no one inside.
The only thatched cottage with someone in it had but an old man on his deathbed, lying on the bed, breathing his last…
