Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhou Yun stood on the outskirts of the Spirit Valley and looked at the small path that slowly extended in from the distance. He couldn’t help but sigh when he saw the few servant disciples guarding the gate.

Like most of the other disciples, he had spent almost all his time in bitter cultivation in order to avoid being laid off by the Spirit Valley.

It was now past the halfway mark of the Spirit Valley’s assessment, and most of the disciples in the same batch were still struggling to avoid being laid off. In the end, they were reduced to mortals due to the lack of spiritual Qi.

On the contrary, Zhou Yun could go to the Treasure Pavilion to buy expensive spiritual swords and even represent the Spirit Valley in the upcoming Five Sects Tournament to help the direct disciples obtain the precious Spiritual Heart Leaf.

The difference between Zhou Yun and the other disciples could be described as the difference between heaven and earth.

If Zhou Yun did not have the Enlightenment System at that time, he might have been among the many struggling disciples. Or worse, he might have been directly laid off without having the chance to struggle since he was only at the first layer of Qi cultivation at that time.

Zhou Yun was filled with emotions. Feeling his own boundless spiritual energy, the sharp sword intent he casually waved, and the spiritual sword behind him, he felt at ease.

Zhou Yun thought, “I’m no longer the outer sect disciple who had to put in all my effort for the inner sect assessment. I should now be placed above the entire Spirit Valley and even the five sects!” Zhou Yun knew that a cultivator should seek constant improvement, constantly forging ahead.

Zhou Yun clenched his fists. He was very strong now and full of ambition. He could face all difficulties, even the one behind him.

Then, Zhou Yun turned his head and looked at Su Lingyun, who had been staring at him from behind.

“Disciple Su, I hope you will take care of me during this trip.” Zhou Yun could feel the resentment in Su Lingyun’s eyes, but he could only pretend to ignore it.

After all, Zhou Yun tricked Su Lingyun in order to get a spiritual meal.

“All right, as your senior sister and a direct disciple, I will definitely take good care of you!” Su Lingyun put on a fake smile. She walked up and patted Zhou Yun’s shoulder, switching to a tone void of any trace of gentleness. “I’ll take care of you until you’re absolutely satisfied.”

“Brother Zhou Yun, Disciple Su, you guys came so quickly.” Qiao’er ran over. Her eyes lit up when she saw Zhou Yun, and she ran straight toward him.

Behind Qiao’er was Su Wanyi. She was walking slowly, neither arrogant nor impatient, just like a lady from a wealthy family. Just Su Wanyi’s walking posture alone dumbfounded the few servant disciples around them.

“Good morning. Did you guys properly pack your luggage yesterday? It’s your first time out of the sect, so you have to be careful.” Su Lingyun turned her head. Zhou Yun noticed that her deadpan look instantly turned into a gentle smile.

“Junior Sister Qiao’er, you can call me Senior Sister Lingyun, just like how you call Wanyi Senior Sister Wan Yi,” Su Lingyun said with a smile.

“Yes, Senior Sister Lingyun,” Qiao’er said happily. She was very happy to have another senior sister like Wanyi who took care of the people around her.

“Since everyone’s here, let’s get ready to set off. The first stop is one of the three cities, Fenghua city. It has been around for more than three hundred years and is a city under the command of a dynasty ruler. Its name has the beautiful meaning of bountiful glory,” Su Lingyun explained gently as she walked to the back.

Zhou Yun was stunned. Didn’t they have to leave the valley if they were going to Fenghua City?

There was a protective array around the Spirit Valley. Unless they went out from the front, there was no way to exit, so why did Su Lingyun go to the back?

“Senior Sister Lingyun?” Qiao’er looked in Su Lingyun’s direction, but she still walked to Zhou Yun’s side and hugged his arm.

“I’m sorry, I forgot that you are the new batch of disciples and have not left Spirit Valley before.” Su Lingyun turned her head and saw that they were standing there in a daze.

“Three cities and two dangers. Actually, it’s not that scary.” Su Lingyun blinked her eyes playfully. She took out a miniature wooden boat from the small fragrance bag on her waist and threw it into the open space behind her.

Bang!

A large amount of white smoke burst out from the wooden boat. Su Lingyun waved her hand, and the white smoke dissipated, leaving only a wooden boat that could accommodate many people.

“This is the Cloud Boat. With it, not to mention the three cities and two hazards, we can even go back and forth to the Treasure Pavilion in just one day and one night. Su Lingyun patted the Cloud Boat proudly. “The Cloud Boat is very fast. Ordinary foundation establishment cultivators can’t catch up with it even if they ride their flying swords. I’m sure our journey will be safe and sound.”

It was the first time Zhou Yun had seen the Cloud Boat. The most powerful spiritual weapon he had seen before was the strange-looking spiritual weapon that Grand Elder had used to help him with his foundation establishment way back.

It was the first time Zhou Yun had seen such a large spiritual weapon.

Moreover, Su Lingyun said that ordinary foundation establishment cultivators couldn’t catch up with this spiritual weapon. It was simply a magic weapon for escaping.

Zhou Yun was a little moved. Riding on a sword and sailing on a boat to admire the sea of clouds were the two immortal cultivation lives that he had been dreaming about for a long time.

“Let’s get on the Cloud Boat and go to Fenghua City.” Su Lingyun took the lead to board the ship. She then guided Zhou Yun and the others to board the ship.

After he sat on it, Zhou Yun realized that the Cloud Boat actually contained a dense amount of spiritual energy. The density of the spiritual energy was not any different from his cave abode.

Moreover, it was luxuriously decorated. Just sitting on the cushion was a pleasure.

Rather than a simple mobile spiritual weapon, the boat was basically a mobile palace.

Zhou Yun couldn’t help but look at Su Lingyun, who was pretending to be gentle, and Su Wanyi, who had a gentle look on her face.

He remembered that Su Lingyun had once revealed that she was from an aristocratic family, but he didn’t know what the sisters’ backgrounds were.

Zhou Yun had only been rewarded with that cave abode after becoming the Spirit Valley’s once-in-a-millennium disciple.

However, Su Lingyun was able to take out a durable spiritual boat.

“What’s wrong, Junior Brother Zhou Yun? Are you feeling dizzy because it’s your first time on the Cloud Boat?” Su Lingyun walked over to a place where Su Wanyi and Qiao’er couldn’t see her. Her expression turned ugly, and she said in a low voice, “Little brat, you haven’t seen the world, have you? This is my Cloud Boat!”

Wordlessly, Zhou Yun chose to close his eyes.

“Tsk.” Seeing that her provocation failed, Su Lingyun turned around and left.

In the sky above Spirit Valley, the Cloud Boat slowly rose into the air and flew into the distance.

As it moved, a large number of clouds were lifted. Its speed was shocking.

Not long after the Cloud Boat left the Spirit Valley, in a forest in the Spirit Valley, a gold-eating marquis suddenly stopped. Its head suddenly turned 180 degrees, and its red eyes stared at the Cloud Boat in the sky.

In a remote mountain village, there was no sign of life. All the corpses of the villagers were piled up in the middle of the village like a small mountain.

Black air waves surrounded the corpses of the villagers and devoured them.

“Meng Yuxin, the person you’re looking for has appeared.” A black-robed man standing in front of a pile of corpses suddenly said.

“You found Zhou Yun?” One of the corpses suddenly made a sound, and the hoarse voice made the black-robed man feel dizzy.

“That’s right. The soul-setting incense on the gold-eating marquis has reacted. They are heading in the direction of Fenghua City.” The black-robed man finally couldn’t take it anymore. He knelt down on one knee and kept spitting out black blood.
