Chapter 653 - Wealthy Family
Opening Chapter 653 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky": The splendid chariot raced down the mountain path, but in fact, it never once touched... Read on for more!
The splendid chariot raced down the mountain path, but in fact, it never once touched the ground.The landscape beside the road flashed by so quickly that if Jiang Wang hadnât been quite skilled in cultivation, he would have found it hard to see what was passing by the roadside.
There were indeed many obstacles on Chi Yun Mountain, with most of them being cloud beasts.
These were somewhat similar to the cloud beast secret technique of Ye Qingyu, except that they were completely out of Ye Qingyuâs control.
Or rather, the cloud beast secret technique of Lingxiao Pavilion originated from Chi Yun Mountain.
The cloud beasts on Chi Yun Mountain, of course, were much more powerful than those summoned by Ye Qingyu and had an uncanny ability to attack from unexpected places.
But in front of the chariot emblazoned with seven-colored flags, all became mere decorations.
As soon as a cloud beast would leap out, the chariot would already have passed by, without so much as touching a wheel.
If it werenât for Jiang Wangâs keen eyesight, perhaps he wouldnât even have realized he had been attacked.
Occasionally, some cloud beasts would happen to make contact and launch an attack.
But from beginning to end, the blue light shield remained utterly undisturbed.
Jiang Wang even doubted whether he could break this blue light shield if he used all his strength, even if it were at its limit.
And if so, how long that would take.
And when it came to speed alone, once this chariot was activated, he would find it hard to catch up unless he continuously used the Flaming Meteor technique.
No wonder Pavilion Master Ye felt secure in letting Ye Qingyu, who hadnât unlocked her Inner Mansion, come to Chi Yun Mountain!
This chariot alone was enough to make her invincible.
If one lacks strength, magic artifacts can make up for it.
Noticing the look of realization on Jiang Wangâs face, Ye Qingyu felt somewhat embarrassed as she explained, âThis is the Seven-Colored Cloud Chariot; the seven flags represent seven functions.
My father acquired it in his early years and left it to me for protection.â
âSuch a treasure,â Jiang Wang praised.
Ye Qingyu then took out a birdcage with an unusual design from her Jade Pendant and gently slid open the door.
Cloud larks, one after another, flew out of the cage as if they were endless, making one wonder how such a small cage could contain so many larks.
âCloud Lark Cage,â Ye Qingyu continued to explain.
âThese little creatures are very intelligent and can help us find those peopleâŚ
and the Divine Skills fruit, the first time.â
Since entering Chi Yun Mountain, Jiang Wang had subconsciously taken the lead.
Because he was far superior in combat strength to Ye Qingyu and had more experiences than the pampered Ye Qingyu.
He came with the intent to help Ye Qingyu, believing that he could make better decisions.
But as for Chi Yun Mountain, Ye Qingyu had also made preparations in advance.
She had simply deferred to Jiang Wang, considering his feelings, allowing him to take command.
It wasnât until their progress slowed and Jiang Wang himself began to hesitate that she stood up to show her capabilities.
In her view, a prodigy like Jiang Wang, who had made a name for himself in Qi Country, would inevitably have some pride, no matter how gentle his nature.
It was out of this consideration and a kind of concession to a friend that she had stepped back.
After all, Jiang Wang came to Chi Yun Mountain purely to help her.
Of course, Jiang Wang was not someone who was overly self-centered or unable to listen to dissenting opinions.
He was decisive in his actions but also very open to suggestions.
Ye Qingyu had better responses, and he was actually happy to relax.
Seeing the Cloud Lark Cage, he simply gave another dry praise, âSuch a treasure.â
Beyond that, he could not say anything else.
He truly did not understand the world of the wealthy.
All he knew was to be careful and cautious, step by step, relying on his own strength and adaptability to face danger.
The idea of driving a safe and high-speed luxury chariot directly over a dangerous area wasnât even a concept in his mind.
Cultivators believe in not being hindered by possessions; relying too much on external objects can affect oneâs quest for enlightenment.
But now Jiang Wang felt that if one had enough âexternal objects,â maybe the desire for enlightenment wasnât that important after allâŚ
The Seven-Colored Cloud Chariot zipped and dashed wildly across Chi Yun Mountain.
Before long, Ye Qingyu said, âThe larks have found them!
Two from the Lingxiao Hall and the Cloud Roaming Elder, one is to the north of the mountain, and one is to the south.â
She held up the skylark cage, closed her eyes, and seemed to share the skylarkâs vision, âA small pavilion to the south of the mountain has collapsed halfway, Dou Min seems to be looking for something.
In a small pond to the north of the mountain, Cloud Roaming Elder isâŚ
the skylark has been eliminated.â
Ye Qingyu opened her eyes, âCloud Roaming Elder also seems to be looking for something in the pond.
Which side shall we go to?â
âTheir goals are very clear, it seems they know this place well and came prepared, thatâs why they can be so fast.
Unlike usâŚâ Jiang Wang felt somewhat helpless, âDid Pavilion Master Ye deliberately make things difficult for us?
Thatâs why he said nothing at all.â
Ye Qingyu also felt some distress, âSometimes I donât even know what heâs thinking, acting like a child.â
Jiang Wang was just venting casually, after a moment of thought, âSooner or later we have to deal with it, letâs head to the north of the mountain first.
I have a rough estimation of Dou Minâs strength, Cloud Roaming Elder is too mysterious, itâs better to probe his limits first.â
Both being from Chuguo, Dou Minâs strength was naturally derived using Zuo Guangshu as a benchmark.
Zuo Guangshuâs talent was also top-notch, the Zuo Family was not much different from the Dou Family, and Dou Min himself was not much older than Zuo Guangshu, even if he was stronger, it should be by a limited amount.
Of course, such estimations might not be accurate, Jiang Wang was just more uneasy about Cloud Roaming Elder, who kept his true abilities hidden.
âAlright,â Ye Qingyu agreed, steering the seven-colored flag cloud chariot in a new direction.
âWait,â the seven-colored flag cloud chariot was moving at high speed, Ye Qingyu exclaimed in surprise, âThe skylark has seen the Divine Fruit, at the mountain peak!â
Jiang Wang was also a bit stunned, he had not expected to find the Divine Fruit so easily.
Secondly, if the Divine Fruit was situated at the top of the mountain, what were Dou Min and Cloud Roaming Elder looking for in those two places?
Did Chi Yun Mountain hold other treasures?
Or did it mean, they also didnât truly understand Chi Yun Mountain at all?
âWhere do you think we should go?â Ye Qingyu asked.
âGo for the Divine Fruit first!â Jiang Wang decided on the spot.
No matter what they were searching for!
Since Ye Qingyu was here for the Divine Fruit, then the Divine Fruit should be the priority.
Once they obtained the Divine Fruit and completed the set goal, then they could consider other things.
The direction of the seven-colored flag cloud chariot changed again, heading straight for the mountain peak.
Chi Yun Mountain was incredibly high, even with the speed of the seven-colored flag cloud chariot, it took a long while to race there.
The higher they went, the more they realized that the wind outside the mountain was very slow, so slow as if it had never been there.
Yet, by observing the tiny movements of the drifting clouds over a long period, one could actually sense the presence of the wind.
Chi Yun Mountain had an invisible boundary, separating two different timelines.
They reached the mountain peak.
Most of the top of Chi Yun Mountain was barren, but there was one tree.
This tree was very large, almost occupying a third of the mountain top.
But what was strange is that it couldnât be seen from the bottom of the mountain or even halfway up.
It was as if the tree had suddenly grown once you reached the mountain top, âgrowingâ into your field of vision.
The seven-colored flag cloud chariot hovered in front of this tree, looking up one would see its branches seemed to connect to the sky, quite spectacular.
Could this be called the Divine Tree?
Were the Divine Fruits hanging on the tree?
Jiang Wang thought to himself.
If the Divine Tree was this big, then there should be at least a hundred or two hundred Divine Fruits, rightâŚ
It was as if the gigantic tree sensed Jiang Wangâs thoughts.
The tree suddenly shook violently, a terrifying aura erupted, and a majestic and profound voice soundedâ
âI amâŚ
the Mountain Guardian Spirit!â
