Chapter 119: Tian Feng Chui

  Time is passing day by day.

  With only ten days left until July 9th, Ye Chen felt a bit strange, wondering why they hadn't set off for Feicui Valley yet.

  To know that the distance from Feicui Valley to Liuyun Sect is as far as 70,000 miles, even if riding on a half-demon horse like Guiyan Yushi, it would take thirteen or fourteen nights of continuous travel, and now time is clearly not enough.

  Five more days passed like this.

  Ye Chen no longer cared about going to the Emerald Valley, anyway, it wasn't urgent for him, why should he be anxious? The Emerald Valley wasn't a place he wanted to go to.

  July 7th!

  Ye Chen was cultivating his true energy in the courtyard, and he was now only one step away from the late stage of the Condensing True Realm. Although it was unlikely that he would break through the barrier in a short period of time, he still wanted to try, after all, for him, the difference between the middle stage of the Condensing True Realm and the late stage was too great. At least with equivalent cultivation, he would have more confidence in competing with young geniuses from various factions, even if he faced Beishan Gongzi or Duanmu Gongzi, he would be fearless.

  Bang!

  The inferior spirit stone in his hand cracked and became two pieces of worthless rock.

  Ye Chen opened his eyes, a look of disappointment on his face. Judging from his current foundation, forcing his way through the bottleneck was still too strenuous. He would need some more time to advance to the later stages of the Condensing Reality realm.

  Bang bang bang......

  The sound of knocking on the door came from outside the courtyard.

  Ye Chen thought it was Wu Zongming and shouted: "Coming!"

  As he opened the gate, a young man he had never seen before appeared in front of Ye Chen, wearing black clothes.

  "I am a disciple of the executive, the elder asked me to come and inform you that the time to go to Emerald Valley has arrived. Now go to the Welcome Plaza to gather." The young man said indifferently.

  Ye Dust's face showed surprise, "Now? Can we arrive within two days?"

  Shaking his head, Ye Chen couldn't understand and replied: "Okay, I'll go over right away."

  The servant boy left, Ye Chen returned to the house, packed a few sets of clothes and some necessities, then tidied up the room slightly, closed the door and headed towards the Welcome Plaza.

  On the spacious and magnificent plaza, there were four people standing there.

  The two in the middle were a senior elder over sixty years old and a robust fourth elder, with an aura as deep as the sea. Next to them was one wearing blue clothes, Luo Hanshan, and another surprisingly wore white clothes, Xu Jing.

  "Elder Long, Fourth Elder!" Ye Chen bowed to the two elders.

  The old man smiled and said: "Ye Chen, has there been any progress this month?"

  Upon hearing this, the four robust elders also broke into a smile. They had long heard that Ye Chen's progress was incredibly fast - just a year ago he was only at the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, but now he had already reached the mid-stage peak of the Condensing Reality Realm. Moreover, his comprehension skills were extraordinary, and all the martial arts he had learned had been taken to the highest level. This time, bringing him to the Jade Emerald Valley was partly to gain face for the Flowing Cloud Sect. Otherwise, they might as well have brought other core disciples, since compared to the top five core disciples, Ye Chen's foundation was still a bit shallow.

  Ye Chendi said: "My cultivation hasn't made much progress, but I just learned the Jīng Yún Sword Technique."

  "Improving one's cultivation is not something that can be rushed. What? You've learned the Jīng Yún Sword Technique?" The four elders nodded slightly, then looked at Ye Chen with a stunned expression, their eyes wide with amazement.

  Ye Chen nodded, there's no need to hide this kind of thing, and with his current level of attention, even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't hide for long, so it's better to just say it openly.

  Lu Hanshan was shocked in his heart. A month to master the Surging Cloud Sword Art? What a monstrous martial talent! The Surging Cloud Sword Art is a low-level earth-grade sword art, and ordinary people may not be able to achieve anything even with five years or more of practice. As for him, it would take at least half a year. In the entire Flowing Cloud Sect, perhaps only "Dark Fragrance Sword" Zhu Mei could master it in just three or four months.

  But compared with others, the gap is not just a little bit, it's one or two times bigger.

  The elder was somewhat skeptical, "Those who master the Surging Cloud Sword Technique will have a strong aura of the sword on their body when fighting against others..."

  He didn't continue speaking, because the gentle and elegant Ye Chen suddenly changed, a wave of ethereal and elusive sword energy burst out, his whole person seemed like an unsheathed precious sword, with unpredictable sword energy filled with terrifying explosive force.

  "It's indeed the Surging Cloud Sword Technique, and he's actually executing it at will." The Great Elder took a deep breath of cold air, realizing that he had underestimated his opponent after all. However, he couldn't blame himself for underestimating someone who grasped the Half-Step Sword Intent, a genius beyond his imagination.

  Among the three of them, only Xu Jing was not surprised.

  Tweet!

  Just then, a sharp bird cry came from the top of Qingfeng Mountain, the sound was short and high-pitched, with an overbearing aura that hit people in the face.

  Ye Chen looked up in surprise, his face revealing astonishment.

  On the precipitous summit, a gigantic bird swooped down. The bird was robust in build, with wings spread wide enough to cover tens of meters, its entire body covered in dark blue feathers that shone like metal in the sunlight. Its talons seemed capable of easily grasping a house, curved like iron anchors.

  "This is the Guardian Spirit Beast of my Liúyún Sect - Tiānfēng Guàn!" Luo Hanshan introduced to Ye Chen.

  "Heavenly Wind Swallow?"

  Ye Chen had heard of this name, in the far east of Tianfeng Country there was a Devil's Prairie, on which countless demonic beasts roamed. Among them, the most famous were the half-demon horse, Ghost Eye Jade Lion, but people living near the prairie didn't think so. In their eyes, the most famous one was the king of the Devil's Prairie, the fifth-level demonic beast, Tianfeng Vulture.

  The Tianfeng Zhi can travel 40,000 miles in one day, coming and going like lightning, more than ten times faster than the semi-demon horse. It's the best for traveling, but it's extremely difficult to capture. Although it's only a fifth-grade demon beast, equivalent to a mid-stage Wuyuan realm martial artist, even a late-stage Wuyuan realm martial artist may not be able to catch up with it. Moreover, even if captured, taming it is almost impossible.

  Ye Chen did not expect that the Liu Yun Sect actually had a domesticated fifth-level demon beast, the Tian Feng Chui. No wonder they were not in a hurry to go to Fei Cui Valley. With the speed of the Tian Feng Chui, it would only take two days to get there. Not only would it save them the trouble of rushing back and forth, but it could also show off the sect's power.

  Hoo-hoo-hoo!

  A strong gust of wind blew, and Tian Feng landed in the center of the Welcome Plaza.

  The Great Elder said: "All of you come up here!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed and was already on the broad and flat back of the Tianfengyuan.

  After everyone got on, the elder reminded: "Hold your body steady later, Tianfeng Lie's speed is very fast."

  Luohan Mountain smiled and said: "The Great Elder is right, the first time I rode the Tianfeng Condor, I almost fell from the sky, that speed was unimaginable."

  Upon hearing this, Ye Chen and Xu Jing did not dare to be careless, secretly mobilizing their true energy.

  Wa wa wa wa......

  With a few fierce flaps of its wings, the Tian Feng Zhi's legs suddenly sprang into action, shooting it towards the high altitude like an arrow. Its wings retracted behind its back, reducing air resistance. The speed that approached the sound barrier was really unimaginable, as if it had boarded a rocket. The oncoming air and knives were no different, cutting through skin.

  Yè chén jiǎo xià shēng gēn, hù tǐ zhēn qì yùn qǐ, yǐ zǔ dǎng guā miàn rú dāo de qì liú.

  English Translation:

  The leaves and dust at his feet took root, the true energy of his body began to circulate, blocking the airflow that was as sharp as a knife.

  Soon, the swallows flew into the high clouds and swept away towards the distance.
