Chapter 1675 Wu Quan Takes a Master
On the desolate land, two carriages sped rapidly.
“Seeking… God?” Upon hearing these two words, Hu Jia froze in place.
“By the way, where is your Eastern God? How long will it take us to get there?” Chloe asked.
“The Heavenly Court can move freely, so I don’t know where they are either.”
“You don’t know? Then where are we going?”
“Although we can’t find the Heavenly Court, there’s one place that won’t escape us…” Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly, “We’re going to Yaochi.”
“Where is Yaochi?”
“Kunlun Mountain.”
Finding the Heavenly Court was difficult, but as long as they found Queen Mother of the West at Yaochi, they would know the whereabouts of the Heavenly Court… and Lin Qiye was very familiar with Yaochi.
“Kunlun Mountain is already at the western border of the Great Han. Further southwest would be the Magadha Kingdom… Traveling from Chang’an by carriage would take at least over a month,” Hu Jia remarked thoughtfully.
“It won’t take that long.” Chloe waved her hand, “We only have two carriages with no large army following us, making us more nimble. Plus, I’ll use wind to enhance the carriages and horses, which should cut the time by at least half.”
As Chloe finished speaking, everyone in the carriage noticeably felt lighter, as if the entire carriage had no weight, rapidly advancing with the galloping horses.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye was about to praise Chloe when suddenly the entire carriage began to shake violently!
After a moment of trembling, their carriage seemed to be lifted by an invisible hand, rising into the air. This sudden change frightened the fast horses, which stared blankly at their bodies gradually ascending into the clouds, somewhat panicked.
The high-altitude gale blew the curtains of the carriage. Hu Jia looked down, his face turning slightly pale before pulling his head back in.
“We’re… flying?”
“That’s our lord for you,” Lin Qiye smiled. “Now we don’t even have to endure the bumps.”
Wu Quan sat beside Lin Qiye, gazing through the fluttering carriage curtains at the carriage ahead, his lips pressed together, lost in thought.
…
Half an hour later.
The two carriages slowly descended from the sky.
“Ugh—!!”
“Ugh—!!!”
As soon as the wheels touched the ground, several figures rushed out of the carriages like the wind, hunching over on the ground and vomiting violently!
Gong Yang Wan, Chloe, Hu Jia, Zhan Yuwu, Yan Zhong, Wu Quan… all six were completely pale, as if drained of energy, too weak to even straighten their backs.
Lin Qiye leisurely emerged from the carriage, looking at the six people lined up before him, momentarily feeling like he was back on the exploration ship.
After just half an hour of flight, they couldn’t take it anymore. Except for Lin Qiye and Huo Qubing, everyone else was affected, even the horses pulling the carriages had collapsed and were foaming at the mouth.
The others were understandable, but even Wu Quan, who had experienced modern airplanes and ships, couldn’t withstand this torture.
But it made sense. Using [Emperor’s Dominion] to make a carriage fly wasn’t the same as a real airplane. The carriage’s material and shape alone weren’t sufficient to support stable high-speed flight. Lasting this long was already the limit.
Huo Qubing slowly descended from the front carriage, calmly surveying the weakened crowd in the distance, then turned and walked toward a nearby thicket… moments later, the sound of vomiting came from within.
Lin Qiye: …
After recovering on the ground for a long while, everyone finally regained some vitality. Yan Zhong shakily took out a map, compared it with their surroundings for a moment, and slowly spoke:
“In this half hour, we’ve flown over five city-states, saving about two days of travel… With Lord Chloe’s wind enhancement, we should reach Kunlun Mountain in seven days at most.”
Huo Qubing was silent for a moment. “If that’s the case, why don’t we fly for another two hours…”
“Impossible!”
“No way!!”
Before Huo Qubing could finish, everyone else refused in unison. Even Hu Jia, the newcomer to the Demon Suppression Bureau, mustered the courage to oppose the proposal of Huo Qubing, the chief, while his legs trembled.
“We really can’t fly anymore,” Lin Qiye objectively stated. “After flying for half an hour, the carriage is almost falling apart… If we continue, neither the carriage nor the horses will last much longer. Then we’d have to purchase new ones, but the further west we go, the fewer city-states there are, making it difficult to find places to buy these things.”
Huo Qubing pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Lin Qiye’s words.
“In that case, let’s wait for the horses to recover before we set off again.”
Hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The group dispersed to rest while waiting for the horses to recover. Huo Qubing sat alone at the edge of a carriage, gazing westward, lost in thought.
Wu Quan leaned against a boulder, silently watching Huo Qubing, conflict flashing in his eyes.
A moment later, he took a deep breath and walked toward the carriage.
“My lord.”
Hearing Wu Quan’s voice, Huo Qubing withdrew his distant gaze and examined the sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth.
“What is it?”
Wu Quan gritted his teeth and knelt before Huo Qubing.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow in surprise from a distance but didn’t intervene.
“Please accept me as your disciple,” Wu Quan said with unwavering determination.
Huo Qubing’s eyes immediately narrowed.
“Though our Taboo Zones share the same source and nature, your mastery and understanding of [Emperor’s Dominion] far exceeds mine.
[Emperor’s Dominion] is inherently flawed with a very short lifespan. My talent doesn’t match yours, and without guidance, I fear I’ll never reach your level even until death… I cannot accept that.
I also want to become as powerful as you… Please teach me!”
As his words fell, Wu Quan kowtowed heavily to Huo Qubing, his voice full of sincerity.
His words drew the attention of others. The previously lively crowd suddenly fell silent, waiting for Huo Qubing’s response.
Lin Qiye looked at Wu Quan’s back and sighed deeply, his eyes showing some satisfaction…
That proud, rash, and ruthless boy from Hanshan Orphanage had finally grown up.
Huo Qubing stared at the kneeling figure before him and shook his head. “An [Emperor] does not kneel to another [Emperor]. Stand up and speak.”
“…Yes.”
Wu Quan stood up and looked Huo Qubing in the eye.
“Do you know why I named this ability [Emperor’s Dominion]?” Huo Qubing slowly asked.
“I don’t.”
“The word ‘dominion’ needs no explanation, but ’emperor’ has two meanings.
First, I hope that through my efforts, it can become the sovereign among all supernatural abilities, because only a sovereign has the qualification to suppress chaos and command other abilities… Second, it constantly reminds me to make protecting the common people my duty, and never to use this ability for wrong purposes.
Without the heart to defend borders and protect people, how can one call oneself an ’emperor’? Without a lifelong aspiration to pursue, how can one push oneself to continuously advance?”
As Huo Qubing finished speaking, he looked into Wu Quan’s eyes and said deliberately:
“Wu Quan, you also bear the name of ’emperor.’ Tell me, what is the lifelong aspiration you pursue?”
