Ju Xian sat at a stone table on the bow of the ship, drinking tea. She guessed that the few people who had entered meditation would wake up today.
Ayou had woken up two days ago. The small sprout in his body had grown into a vine, capable of sprouting countless tendrils. This was the green life force left by Ju Xian when she treated his dantian, and it had grown to such an extent!
Ayou, who had grown a head taller, was eager to show off to his master upon waking. He could skillfully grow several vines and use them flexibly, with the same dexterity as his hands. This greatly facilitated his refinement and sorting of medicinal materials. He was currently excitedly using his new technique to cook and stir-fry. From almost setting himself on fire when starting the fire to being able to cook several dishes simultaneously, even Ju Xian was amazed!
So Ju Xian could only idly sit on the bow and drink tea.
Feng Chu was the first to wake up. Seeing that His Venerable One was drinking tea not far away, he stroked his beard and knew he could not show himself in his current state. This meditation had made his cultivation more solid, and the immortal spiritual energy within his body had compressed into a mass, so he no longer had to worry about it overflowing when fighting. The last time he had suppressed his cultivation to fight someone, he was forced to ascend because he feared he couldn't control his immortal spiritual energy.
He cast a cleansing spell on himself and resumed his elegant demeanor as he walked towards Ju Xian.
"Your Venerable One, drinking good tea alone is not very enjoyable!"
"Sit down, can there be less than a cup of tea for you?" Ju Xian poured a cup of tea and handed it to Feng Chu.
"Thank you, Your Venerable One. Qingyang, Qingyin, are they not awake yet?" Feng Chu looked at Zhao Yangzi.
As soon as the words fell, the Zhao Yangzi brothers in the corner opened their eyes simultaneously. Then, Xin Mo also opened his eyes and transformed into a golden dragon, soaring into the sky! Dragon roars echoed, piercing through clouds and mist. His golden scales, imprinted with the morning sun, added a unique splendor to this desolate land. A quarter of an hour later, the golden dragon transformed back into human form and sat at another position at the stone table. Ju Xian smiled and poured a cup of tea, raising her cup in a gesture. Xin Mo silently accepted it, feeling happy inside, knowing that his master was celebrating his successful emergence from seclusion!
"Speak of the devil! It seems talking about people behind their backs is truly not good!"
"Only the petty talk about others' faults!" Zhao Yangzi's tone was calm. After meditating, his temperament was even more refined, truly an unparalleled elegant young master!
"Are you saying you are the petty one!" Feng Chu raised an eyebrow and retorted!
"Alright, stop arguing. You two are truly like sworn enemies, always bickering when you meet," Ju Xian said helplessly.
Feng Chu opened his green jade fan and fanned himself a couple of times, no longer wasting words with Zhao Yangzi. Suddenly, a fragrant aroma wafted over.
"What's so delicious? I can smell it." Feng Chu sniffed.
"I made a lot of delicious food to celebrate your emergence from seclusion, guessing you would wake up today! Let's go eat!" Ju Xian stood up, as she was also craving something!
The group went to the dining room and sat down. The table was laden with food. Tian Ji and the Elder with Double Pupils had woken up a few days ago. They emerged from their spatial realms and sat at the table with smiles.
Looking at his young disciple busy with the table of dishes, the Elder with Double Pupils felt this was truly a celestial life, with good wine and good food! In leisure, he could play chess with friends, listen to zither music, and travel to see the different landscapes of the world! From his master to his fellow disciples, some had ascended, others had fallen. He felt his past few hundred years of solitude had been wasted. His state of mind became increasingly peaceful. After waking up from his meditation and enlightenment, the opportunity for his ascension faintly appeared. However, he suppressed it, reluctant to part with these juniors and his good disciple.
"Come, elders, everyone, let's have a toast to celebrate," Ju Xian raised her spiritual wine and proposed.
"Good! Good!" The Elder with Double Pupils nodded with a smile.
Everyone except the Dragon God was present. They all stood up and raised their cups to drink! They tasted the delicious food. The spiritual energy in the food was negligible to them. Once their cultivation reached a certain level, they no longer needed food to sustain themselves; it was merely for the pleasure of the palate. Therefore, the chaotic scene of scrambling for food was no longer present. Everyone had regained their refined and polite demeanor.
As they were enjoying the lively meal, a violent collision sound was heard from the ship's barrier. It sounded like someone was hitting the barrier. Ju Xian was surprised, extended her divine sense, and then sneered coldly.
"It seems we have uninvited guests!"
"Sister, who is it? How dare they disturb us?" Xiao Bai was very unhappy. A moment ago, a jolt caused her clipped chicken wing to fall, and it was immediately snatched by Feng Chu, the glutton.
"Don't you know them? There are quite a few people!" Ju Xian was also annoyed by the interruption!
"Master, I'll go take a look!" Xin Mo sensed his master's displeasure and was the first to leave the table.
"I'm going too, I want to practice!" Ji Chenmu found that Ji Wuye's cultivation was much higher than his after waking up. Both had received the blessing of spiritual rain, so why was he so far behind! It was infuriating!
"Brother Chenmu, remember to hit them a few extra times for me! How dare they disturb this young lady's meal, beat them half to death and throw them out!" Xiao Bai quickly shouted after Ji Chenmu's retreating back. The others were completely unaffected, leisurely pushing cups and offering wine!
"Don't worry, brother will definitely hit them a few extra times for you!" Ji Chenmu replied without looking back as he left.
Xin Mo and Ji Chenmu came out to see that the formation's barrier had already been cracked, and the people outside were still hitting it. The two exchanged glances, finding it strange. The cultivators on Tianxing Continent seemed to have universally high cultivation levels, as even those in the Nascent Soul stage could not easily break through this ship's defensive barrier. Both were curious about who these divine beings were!
"Beyond the barrier, a gigantic axe was swung towards them. The two figures instantly separated. Xin Mo turned back and spat a dragon's breath, causing the pursuing axe to be engulfed in dragon flames."
"Dragon's breath! There really are divine dragons! Quickly, quickly!" The person riding a giant bird in the sky was instantly overjoyed!
The person in purple-gold robes riding the large bird recalled the giant divine axe from the flames. The dragon flames followed, and the bird spat forth immeasurable water to extinguish the dragon's breath.
Instantly, Xin Mo was surrounded by seven purple-robed figures. Xin Mo's handsome face darkened. These people attacked without distinguishing right from wrong!
"You are courting death!"
Xin Mo hovered in the air, grasped the void, and flicked his fingers. The water vapor in the air turned into seven water droplets that shot towards the seven purple-robed figures. The seven purple figures hurriedly used their swords to block the sudden water droplets. They faced the attack with great seriousness, not daring to be negligent. However, they were still sent flying by the powerful momentum within a breath!
Ji Chenmu then engaged in battle with the person in purple-gold robes riding the bird in the sky. He rapidly formed hand seals, and his sword transformed into countless illusory shadows, rising into the air. He softly chanted:
"Sword Transforms into Ten Thousand!"
His sword turned into a rain of swords that charged towards the opponent. This move was inspired by watching Zhao Yangzi and Feng Chu fight. He combined the techniques of the great figures on the flying ship to create his own moves and spells. Occasionally, he would receive guidance. It was known that his cultivation talent was among the top geniuses on Tianchen Continent. However, after following Sister Ji Jiu, he was instantly reduced to nothingness when encountering the great figures on this ship!
The person in purple-gold robes, holding a gigantic divine axe, swung the divine axe in a circle, protecting himself tightly from the thousands of sword shadows. The sounds of clanging were incessant!
With a cry, the large bird seemed to be hit by a sword, letting out a miserable cry! It instantly lost its balance and swayed precariously.
"How dare you injure my spirit beast!" The person in purple-gold robes, seeing the wings of his beloved mount injured, felt great anger and shouted sternly!
"Heh heh, my sister just wanted to eat bird wings, and here you are, delivering yourself!" Ji Chenmu's tone was arrogant and extremely provocative!
"Hmph! Insolent brat!" The person in purple-gold robes held a high position in his sect and was always treated with respect by cultivators from Tianxing Continent. He had never encountered such an arrogant person! He was so angry his beard bristled.....
The divine axe suddenly enlarged its body and slashed towards the myriad of sword shadows......
