Chapter 182
182 Void walking (2 in 1)
Lu Qing was shocked.
Mingchao was really powerful.
Instantaneous flash was already considered an outstanding ability. Even the teleportation technique that caused a huge commotion in the past was able to help Lu mingchao gain a great advantage in battle.
And now, this commotion was almost without a doubt.
Even though Lu Qing had been weakened, he still had the strength and perception of someone at the peak of the initial enlightenment stage. Coupled with Lu Qing’s rich experience, it would be very difficult to hide from him.
Lu mingchao was able to make him unable to detect her immediately. This proved that no one below the Golden core realm could immediately detect her new position after she flickered-as long as she did not flash in front of anyone’s face.
Lu Qing also noticed something else. Ming Chao had dodged to the other side from his side.
This was something that the teleportation technique couldn’t do.
Lu Qing still remembered that the original teleportation technique was essentially a burst of spirit energy. In the form of a secret technique, one would determine a location and use spirit energy to pull one’s body. They would then move in a straight line at an extremely high speed to achieve the effect of almost instantaneous teleportation. However, because of this, it would create a lot of movement, the flashing target could not be changed after it was determined, and there must be no obstacles in the middle.
Especially the definition of this obstacle. Not only could there be no obstacles, but there could also be no cultivators. Cultivators in battle often exuded strong spiritual energy fluctuations, which would interfere with the spiritual energy of the teleportation technique. Therefore, even though the enemy was just a human, he could be used as an obstacle in a large area. Moreover, if the enemy had some understanding of the teleportation technique and used a spell or formation in advance to disrupt the spiritual energy in an area, then the teleportation technique would not be able to be used.
However, Ming Chao’s flickering did not seem to be affected by this.
“You can try again.” As Lu Qing spoke, he released a greater amount of spirit energy fluctuations, which filled the entire training room.
Mingchao tried again. However, this time, Lu Qing sensed her as soon as she appeared. After all, she had appeared within the range of his spirit energy cage. Moreover, the speed of her flash was not as fast as before.
“It’s still a bit difficult to walk in the air in an area with clear spiritual energy fluctuations.”
“Voidwalk? Is this the name you came up with?”
“Yes, father, do you think it’s not good?”
“It’s pretty good. The effect is already very strong, especially when the enemy is not specifically prepared. After all, not everyone is used to expanding the range of their spiritual energy fluctuations to such a large extent like what I did just now, even in battle. That’s too much of a waste of spiritual energy, not to mention, even with this kind of targeted defense, the effect of your move is still very clear.”
“Yingluo is not the only one,” Lu mingchao grinned.
The second half of the sentence came from behind Lu Qing.
He turned around and saw that Lu mingchao was already behind him. However, mingchao, who was in front of him, was still there. It was just that his figure had become a little illusionary. He only disappeared completely after two to three breaths.
Lu Qing raised his eyebrows and said,”that’s amazing.”
“I still have to thank Lord father.” Lu mingchao said sincerely.
Her current knowledge was also different from the past. She had changed her spirit root and even created something like a Void Spirit root. One day was equivalent to ten years, and the clan had been constantly changing over the years. Seventh brother suddenly had a spirit body that was rare in the entire Feiyun state, and so did Weiwen. Before big brother broke through, he suddenly had the power of the initial enlightenment stage.
Lu mingchao had seen all of this.
This was not something that cultivators and cultivators could do, at least not Jindan stage cultivators. Tracing back to the source, after her father woke up for the first time thirty years ago, there were many magical changes in the family. She guessed that her father must have had other encounters.
She couldn’t think of what it was, but she didn’t dwell on it. She didn’t even talk to her brothers and sisters about it.
She believed that her eldest brother and seventh brother were not stupid and had their own ideas. They didn’t communicate tacitly because this was the best.
As long as his father was well and the family was thriving, why should he care about anything else?
Lu Qing did not know what his daughter was thinking. He thought about Lu mingchao’s new escape technique,’void walk’, and whether there were any more fatal flaws. After realizing that he could not think of anything, he continued, ”
“Your teleportation technique, which was modified by the teleportation technique and combined with the void spiritual energy, is already very powerful. However, how’s your progress with your main cultivation technique in the past ten years?”
“There are some results.”
Lu mingchao began to release her spiritual power with all her might.
Lu Qing smiled after a while. “You’re at the second level of the initial enlightenment stage. Not bad, you’ve caught up to your big brother!”
Chaoxi was only at the second level of the initial enlightenment stage. Although she had already reached the peak, she had not broken through. Lu Qing had originally planned to exchange for a three-star ordinary breakthrough bottleneck for him to help him achieve the third level of the initial enlightenment as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Ming Chao had already caught up to him.
The fact that Lu mingchao was able to reach the second level of the initial enlightenment stage meant that she must have had some achievements in her main cultivation technique. Otherwise, it would definitely be impossible for her to reach the next level by relying on the water cloud crossing manual and the three revolutions double essence technique that she had temporarily transitioned into.
“Do you have a name for the cultivation technique?”
“I haven’t named it yet. I was just thinking of asking father for advice.”
“How about the void Codex?”
“Yes.”
……
Five days later, the Lu trading company’s first North-bound team set off.
The team leaders were Lu mingling, Lu Weiwen, and Lu Chaohe.
Ming Ling was the leader of the Chamber of Commerce, so of course he had to be there. Weiwen mainly needed some experience, so she could also follow. As for Lu tingchou being replaced by Lu Chaohe, the main reason was that there had to be an old comrade in charge. Moreover, Chaohe was in the late-stage of the foundation building realm. If there was an emergency, Lu Qing could give him the ” power of initial enlightenment ” and turn the situation around.
The caravan made a round around anling Prefecture and brought along everything that the various clans and factions wanted to sell.
The goods they were escorting, other than a few magical artifacts, pills, and special natural treasures, were also large quantities of goods. For example, there were carts of spiritual rice. This was a resource that the Xue state needed.
The caravan did not have much to do in anling, and when they arrived at Donghai, they had the support of the main hai family, so there was no problem. They stayed in the spaceport for half a month and waited for the large flying ship of the Gongsun family from the North. After loading the goods on the ship, they followed the ship.
During this period, there were no problems.
At one point, the cultivators of the Lu clan felt that they were being too narrow-minded and were overestimating the heart of a gentleman. The Husheng Merchant House had never used any particularly disgusting means. It was nothing more than not cooperating with them and not allowing them to use large airboats to carry goods. It was a very normal commercial means.
When they boarded the gong Sun family’s ship and left Dong Hai County, flying over the ocean, they truly didn’t think that they would be in any danger.
This was a boundless ocean, with only a few places to rest, and only a few supply points, which were jointly managed by the Gongsun clan and the Qingfeng sect. In between, the flying boat would stop twice for replenishments, but the stop time would not be too long.
It would be difficult for Yang Xiang to make a move at sea or at the supply point.
More importantly, this flying boat belonged to the gong Sun family, and there were even four foundation building cultivators on board. The gong Sun family also had some influence on the supply points in the middle.
Forget about Husheng trading company dealing with the Lu trading company. Would they dare to make a move on the Gongsun family?
Were they crazy?
Even if the Husheng Merchant House was backed by the sect leader’s faction, it was impossible for them to do this, right?
That was what the four cultivators from the Gongsun family thought. Even though they had received a vague warning from the cultivators from the Lu family, they still did not take it seriously.
The cultivators of the Lu clan could only raise their vigilance.
At the first supply point, there were no abnormalities.
This was a small island with a radius of only three to five miles. There were three to five cultivators and some mortals stationed here for a long time. They made a living by fishing and hunting. At the same time, there were many resources stored on the island for the use of flying boats and big ships-they had to pay.
When the flying boat stopped to resupply, the cultivators of the Lu family were on their highest alert, but nothing special happened. After replenishing their supplies, the flying boat set off again after half a day.
“Is Yang Xiang really not coming?”
Lu mingling thought.
However, Lu Qing did not think this way.
Lu Qing had only recently been teleported to the ship through the training mode. Before this, he had judged that no matter how arrogant the Husheng trading company was, it was unlikely that they would make a move in the Feiyun state. The most likely place was at sea.
Thus, he had basically been cultivating in his own closed-door cultivation room before. He only teleported here when he estimated that it was about time.
After they arrived, Lu Qing felt that something was amiss not long after he followed the boat.
The flying boat seemed to have gone off course.
Of course, the cultivators of the Lu clan could not feel it. They had very little experience on this sea route, and they were also on the vast ocean where the scenery was almost exactly the same, so it was very difficult for them to realize that a deviation had occurred.
However, Lu Qing was much more experienced. When he was still alive, he had been to the Xue state in the North more than once or twice.
He had informed Lu Chaohe through voice transmission when he sensed that something was wrong.
Chaohe immediately went to find the cultivator of the Gongsun family who was controlling the flying boat.
The leader’s name was Gongsun Quan. He said, ” “I know I’ve gone off course.”
Lu Chaohe was puzzled,’you knew? But why did he …”
“There are some problems with the navigation formation of the flying boat. We’re trying to find a way to fix it. Don’t worry, I’ve been on this route for many years. It’s normal for the airboat to have some big and small problems, but it’s not a big problem.”
Lu Chaohe was relieved and asked, ” “How long will it take?”
“About two to three days. In this short period of time, we have to stop here. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time if we fly too far.”
“You’re the experts, so you can solve it. If you need any help, you can tell me. I’m also an array master.”
that’s great. Junior Brother Lu, please come and take a look.
……
Dozens of miles away, two cultivators were walking together. Half of their bodies were hidden in the sea, looking at the flying boat from afar. From where they were, the huge flying boat in the clouds was already very unreal, but they could still see that the flying boat had already stopped.
“Let’s stick to the plan.” One of them said.
The other one nodded, then took out a dark blue horn, stirred his spiritual power, and blew it.
There wasn’t any sound, but the surrounding seawater started to surge with abnormal waves.
……
With Lu Chaohe’s help, the speed at which the problematic navigation formation on the flying boat was repaired was greatly accelerated.
The work that was originally expected to be completed in three days was already 80% done by the second day when the sun had just set. The remaining small portion was not difficult. He would be able to resolve it in two to four hours.
It would definitely be done before dawn, and then the route could be corrected. They would set off North to the second supply point.
However, it started to drizzle after night fell.
It was normal to rain on the sea. Although the navigation array on the ship was broken, the weather warning array was still there. According to his previous exploration, there shouldn’t be any major storms nearby. Moreover, even if there was, the resistance of the flying boat was much stronger than the ships in the mortal world, so there was no need to worry too much.
However, in a quarter of an hour, the drizzling rain quickly became heavier and started pouring.
Everyone realized that something was wrong. A strong sense of foreboding rose in the hearts of the cultivators.
A cultivator’s premonition might be illusory, but it was usually related to the aura of heaven and earth. They would not take it lightly.
For the sake of stability, the ship even sounded the alarm.
There were more than two hundred people on the flying boat, of which fifty were cultivators. The mortals who were working and serving the cultivators went back to their cabins one by one, while the cultivators were on high alert.
After a short while, the cloud where the flying boat was suddenly flashed with lightning and thunder!
“Activate the defensive array!” Gongsun Quan shouted.
A layer of light covered the flying boat.
His reaction was quite fast, and then a lightning bolt struck. Under the protection of the protective array, the flying boat did not move at all. However, under the bombardment of the power of heaven and earth, the protective array could only withstand it for a while, but not forever.
“We have to go,” Gongsun Quan’s face was no longer relaxed. although we don’t know the cause of this storm, we can’t stay here for long. I’ll drive the flying boat myself later. Brother Lu, I’d like to ask your cultivators to help guard it in case of any accidents.”
“It’s my duty to do what I should do.”
Lu Chaohe watched as Gongsun Quan entered the control room. He then met up with Ming Ling and Weiwen and went to the upper deck of the flying boat. Two foundation building cultivators from the Gongsun family also came up, and one helped Gongsun Quan in the driver’s seat.
The flying boat quickly set off. Although there was no navigation array, cultivators could still fly by hand, but it was more taxing on the mind and it was difficult to last.
The people on the upper deck looked around vigilantly in case anything happened.
Suddenly, Lu Chaohe saw black dots appearing and sinking on the surface of the sea below the flying boat. They seemed to be swimming quickly.
“Look at the sea.” He warned.
The other cultivators also looked over. A Gong Sun family cultivator said in surprise, ” “It’s the eastern sea Sharkmen!”
“What’s that?” Lu Weiwen asked nervously.
Sharkmen are monsters that live in the sea. They occasionally Rob passing ships, but I’ve never heard of them having the guts to target the flying ships of us cultivators. We’re in trouble today.
