Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice-Chapter 319: Unprecedented change
Chapter 319: Unprecedented change
Although some scholars wanted to capture the same-day sailing ship, there was no air outside, and both ships were fast. It was very likely that they would not be able to return after flying out of the skyship, so they could only watch the out-of-control same-day sailing ship sail into the distance.
Qiu Shuijing's same-day sailing ship was not built all at once and then sent to the same-day cableway. Instead, the sailing ship was divided into individual components, and each component was sent to the same-day cableway and then assembled together. Therefore, even without the financial and manpower resources of Jiange, they could still create spiritual weapons from outside the world.
This gave Yu Qingluo and Su Yun great confidence.
Yue Liuxi watched the same-day sailing ship go far away, his eyes flickering. He had already recognized who was behind this ship.
"Shuijing, can you achieve this level with only yourself in Yuanshuo?" he whispered.
The skyship smoothly sailed towards an extraterrestrial continent. The planet Yinghuo was hit by the Tian Shi Yuan and shattered into countless pieces. Most of the planet Yinghuo remained, but a small part fell into the atmosphere along with the Tian Shi Yuan.
The place they were going this time was one of the larger fragments of Yinghuo.
The scholars of Jiange had observed with the divine ability of the Heavenly Eye. This continent was the most likely place to have life because it had mountains, rivers, lakes, and even an ocean!
Through long-term observation, they could even see the clouds and rain formed by the airflow, and those with higher cultivation could see the buildings on it with the Heavenly Eye.
Therefore, in Da Qin, there were many beautiful stories about the extraterrestrial world, often telling of fairies descending to Da Qin and falling in love with scholars, but being forced to separate due to their different statuses.
It was nothing more than the scholars' fantasy.
Everyone on the ship looked at the extraterrestrial continent getting closer and their hearts were filled with excitement. They would become the first group of spiritualists to set foot on the extraterrestrial land, leaving their mark in history!
Finally, the skyship entered the magnetic range of this extraterrestrial continent and was captured by the remaining magnetism of Yinghuo.
The skyship shook violently, and the scholars of Jiange immediately busied themselves, mobilizing the octagonal banners, reversing the rune activation, and at the same time, some scholars activated the Phoenix Wings of the skyship to slow it down.
"Quickly calculate the same-day cableway of this continent!" several teachers from Jiange shouted.
Many scholars quickly calculated, and some scholars released mirror-shaped spiritual treasures, letting them fall to the ground and calculating the height of the skyship based on the reflection of the mirror.
In Su Yun's spiritual realm, Ying Ying quickly recorded these details.
Finally, the scholars of Jiange calculated the height of the same-day cableway of the fragment of Yinghuo and immediately adjusted the height and speed of the skyship to keep it on the same-day cableway.
The same-day cableway of this continent was not high, only a few hundred miles. 𝚋𝚎dno𝚟𝚎l.n𝚎𝚝
The skyship gradually stabilized and no longer shook. The wings spread out as it flew over this unfamiliar continent.
The tail cabin of the skyship opened, and a small skyship slid out from the tail cabin. There were more than ten scholars standing on the ship, activating the small ship. The small ship vibrated its wings and sailed towards this continent.
Su Yun activated the Heavenly Eye and saw the small ship land in the middle of the continent, slowly descending. Some scholars carried cages onto the deck and opened them, releasing some pigeons.
The pigeons flew in the air, and many scholars activated the Heavenly Eye one after another to track and record the status of the pigeons. Some scholars also opened other cages, releasing lizards, rats, and insects, which escaped to the new continent.
After a while, some scholars pushed out several slaves and drove them to the new continent.
Those slaves gained their freedom and immediately ran happily.
The scholars observed for a long time and saw that the slaves ran for several miles without any major problems, so they removed the invisible aura barrier around the small ship.
The aura barrier around the small ship contained air, allowing the people on the ship to breathe freely.
The scholars on the small ship raised mirrors and shone them on the sky.
The scholars on the skyship saw the reflection and immediately opened the tail cabin. One small skyship after another sailed out from the ship's tail and floated in the air.
"Scholars from each academy, follow your respective teachers for exploration, and do not wander around!"
Yue Liuxi shouted loudly, "Remember, if you encounter danger, use the bright mirror to shine on the skyship. There are experts on the ship who will support you immediately. Second, protect your ship. You must return to the skyship on your own using the small ship!"
Jiange had thirty-six academies, and scholars from each academy boarded their respective small ships, sailing to various parts of this extraterrestrial continent.
Su Yun was a teacher from the Wusheng Pavilion, and there were not many scholars from the Wusheng Pavilion who came to explore this time, only ten people. Including Su Yun and another teacher, there were only twelve people.
However, most of the scholars from the Wusheng Pavilion were unfamiliar faces to Su Yun. Except for Yushuang Yun and Cang Jiuhua, he didn't know the others.
"I have fought against scholars from the Wusheng Pavilion, but there are a few I haven't fought against. This is strange," Su Yun silently thought.
In the Wusheng Pavilion, some scholars were responsible for piloting the small skyship. The skyship required at least six people to maintain it. One person was responsible for the rune on the ship's body, one for balancing the ship's body, one for controlling the wings, one for controlling the sails, one for lookout, and one for balancing the mana distribution.
Su Yun observed these six scholars and silently thought, "Except for Yushuang Yun and Cang Jiuhua, that means the other two are scholars of unknown origin."His gaze fell on the two scholars, both of whom were men. Su Yun looked at them with the Winged Dragon's divine eye, and saw that one of them manifested a long river illusion, while the other manifested a divine sword illusion, each unique in their own way.
The two scholars noticed Su Yun observing their divine abilities and quickly concealed their auras, hiding their powers.
Su Yun turned his attention to another teacher from the Martial Saint Pavilion, a beautiful woman who appeared to be sixteen or seventeen years old, a few years older than Su Yun. Her name was Luo Wanyi.
Cang Jiuhua and Yu Shuangyun were quite familiar with her, but Yu Shuangyun seemed to be somewhat fearful of her.
Luo Wanyi noticed his gaze and gave him a slight smile. She curled her little fingers and connected her other fingers, mimicking the shape of a wooden box.
.
Su Yun was surprised, "Is Luo Wanyi also from the Tongtian Pavilion?"
The small boats separated, and the one Su Yun was on headed towards a grand building. Along the way, the exotic scenery was picturesque, but unfortunately, there were no signs of intelligent life.
Su Yun stood at the bow of the boat, looking down. Other than plants and trees, there was nothing else.
Luo Wanyi came forward and whispered, "The impact of the Heavenly Market Wall was too intense, making it impossible for any life to survive on this fragment of the planet. The human body is too fragile. Master Su, nice to meet you."
She greeted him gracefully.
Su Yun returned the greeting and smiled, "I don't think so. There are still plants and trees on this fragment of the planet, as well as architectural ruins. There might still be life that survived. But regardless, we will be the first humans to come here in five thousand years!"
The small boat sailed between two mountains, and on the peak of one of the mountains, someone had written in crooked characters: "Winged Dragon was here!"
Su Yun's smile didn't fade, and he pretended not to see the words.
They sailed past the two mountains and arrived at the grand building. On the ground, there were huge dragon claw marks, and traces of a giant dragon stepping in the city.
Su Yun's smile froze, "Let's stop here."
The scholars stopped the boat, and Su Yun disembarked, smiling, "Let's explore this place and see if we can find anything... Wait a moment, I need to meditate for a while."
In the spirit world, Su Yun's face was dark as he recited the Qingyu Town mantra, and the wall of runes slowly appeared.
"Ying Ying, wait here for me, I'm going to find Brother Winged Dragon and get some answers!" He walked towards the crack in the wall of runes.
Ying Ying quickly asked, "How long will you be gone?"
Su Yun hesitated. Entering the seal and coming back would take three to five days, which was too long.
He was undecided about whether to go see Winged Dragon when suddenly the sky brightened. Su Yun quickly looked up to see the skyship, which was floating hundreds of miles above the continent, suddenly explode.
Su Yun's smile froze, and he stared blankly at the scene.
The huge skyship split in two in the explosion, tilted, and with a long tail of fire, fell towards the continent!
Not only was Su Yun stunned by the scene, but all the scholars and teachers of the Sword Pavilion were also stunned!
Everyone's heart sank, not knowing what had happened in the sky.
"The skyship is destroyed, how do we get back?"
On the small boat, a scholar suddenly exclaimed in fear, "We're going to be trapped here!"
The other scholars controlling the small boats panicked and immediately tried to steer their boats towards the falling skyship. At the same time, Su Yun saw small boats from the outer continent soaring into the sky, heading towards the sky.
Some of the boats were heading towards the falling skyship, while others were simply heading out into the sky, trying to return to Da Qin.
"Everyone, don't panic!"
Cang Jiuhua suddenly exerted his magic power, suppressing the small boat under their feet that was about to take off, and shouted loudly, "The Saint is still on the ship, he can definitely turn danger into safety..."
He stopped speaking suddenly, realizing that the Sword Pavilion's Saint, Yue Liuxi, was still on the skyship. With the Saint on board, how could the skyship explode?
Su Yun's eyes twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "Cang Jiuhua, someone on the skyship wants to kill Yue Liuxi."
He had always felt that many strangers had infiltrated this trip to the outer world, possibly to deal with him, but he never thought that the real target was the Sword Pavilion's Saint, Yue Liuxi!
Cang Jiuhua's heart pounded as he looked at Su Yun and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Su, who do you think is trying to kill Master Yue?"
Before Su Yun could speak, Luo Wanyi said, "Master Yue has always opposed waging war and invading other countries. The person who wants to kill him is naturally the one who advocates waging war and invading other countries."
Su Yun's gaze fell on the skyship that was falling in the sky. Behind him, seventy-two heavenly caves suddenly appeared, and thick true element neurons grew rapidly from the caves, forming a giant dragon eye several feet in diameter behind him.
The Winged Dragon's divine eye rolled, clearly seeing the scene on the skyship.
