1125: 288 chapter 5 1125: 288 chapter 5 “Rest assured, your master is also at the limit of the Golden Core Stage, and moreover, Master has also practiced the Eight Nine Mysterious Art.” Cao Zhen offered a few more words of comfort to Ling Xi, and when the connection time was up, he disconnected from the China Cloud.
At that moment, Immortal Bi Yue’s voice came through.
“Master Cao, what were you just thinking about?
Did you suddenly have an epiphany?
I was talking to you, but you didn’t respond.”
“Oh, yes, I indeed had an epiphany,” Cao Zhen casually replied—after all, he could hardly say he had been communicating with his eldest disciple.
“Oh, then I must congratulate Master Cao,” Bi Yue said, pausing briefly before speaking again, “However, Master Cao, I’ve always been puzzled; with your attainments, you should easily achieve the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Perfect Completion.
Why are you still at the Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills?
Could there be an issue with your Immortal Sect?”
“No, my not breaking through to the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection has nothing to do with my Immortal Sect; rather, it’s due to some special reasons.”
Cao Zhen said to himself, my inability to break through to the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection is an issue with Heaven.
If I could now become one of the Existences of the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Perfect Completion, all of you so-called apexes of the Golden Core Stage wouldn’t be worth much.
Immortal Bi Yue, failing to understand, wondered what could possibly make Cao Zhen not break through to the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
Was it due to some sort of bet he had with someone?
Since Master Cao didn’t divulge further, she didn’t press him and just continued to steer the flying boat towards the direction of the relics.
Gradually, after half a day, Immortal Bi Yue spoke again: “Master Cao, isn’t this travel becoming a bit boring?
I wonder if I could listen to some of your music?”
“Alright, I’ll play you a piece you’ve never heard before.” Cao Zhen readily agreed, after all, she was managing the flying boat and wanted to listen to some music, so why not play a piece?
“This piece is called ‘Free Flight,’ try to feel it…”
Cao Zhen took out the divine weapon given by Immortal Bi Yue and began to strike it.
Although Gao Jianli had never heard of ‘Free Flight,’ he possessed Gao Jianli’s musical rhythm knowledge—playing ‘Free Flight’ was no big deal.
Four minutes later…
“What a peculiar piece.
Immortal Bi Yue has never heard of this style before…
This piece, moreover, has an indescribable flavor.
But, although it’s called ‘Free Flight,’ Immortal Bi Yue felt as if she was galloping across the plains on a horse…”
“Master Cao, do you have any more similar pieces?”
“Yes, here’s ‘Little Apple’ for you.”
“What?
Want to hear more?
This ‘Compendium of Materia Medica,’ you’ve surely never heard anything like it before…”
“How about ‘Nunchucks’…?” Cao Zhen found amusement himself, using this ancient musical instrument to play one modern pop song after another, even divine songs.
And Immortal Bi Yue, initially finding it bizarre, ended up brainwashed, eventually even asking Cao Zhen for the lyrics.
Slowly, within the flying boat, Immortal Bi Yue’s singing echoed: “Crouch, little zombies, crouch…” and Cao Zhen really wanted to teach Bi Yue a shuttlecock exercise routine.
Cao Zhen noticed that after becoming more familiar with Bi Yue, she was not as goddess-like in her deportment as she normally appeared.
It was the same with Li Ke before; maintaining a goddess-like image in front of others, behind the scenes, chatting and joking about picking at her toes with her master.
He began to wonder if all these so-called immortals were actually like this?
Although Bi Yue detoured, it wasn’t much of a diversion; they had just made a small turn.
Since Bi Yue was the only one steering the flying boat, she couldn’t possibly control it with all her might.
Along the way, they were overtaken by several other flying boats and individuals flying with sword control.
After ten more days of flight, the relics were becoming increasingly visible in Cao Zhen’s view.
He estimated that it would take about half a day to reach the relics.
He wondered how Ling Xi and the others were doing?
A thought struck Cao Zhen, and he activated the China Cloud again to connect with Ling Xi.
Suddenly, a pair of huge peaks appeared before his eyes…
Ling Xi and her group had already arrived at the location.
Naturally, their speed was faster since several people were managing the flying boat together compared to Immortal Bi Yue who was alone.
Cao Zhen looked around; previously in the Eastern Wasteland, the relics they entered were on an island in the ocean, but the relics before him now were amongst mountains.
Dozens of mountain peaks surrounded the area and on closer observation, he could see that each pair of peaks was gathering a lot of people.
Obviously, between two peaks was an entrance to a relic.
It seemed that these peerless relics were all the same, each having different entrances.
Ling Xi and her group of four beauties, even without doing anything, just standing there, constantly attracted a lot of attention.
However, he saw no one approaching to strike up a conversation.
Even though none of Ling Xi and her companions had reached the Golden Core Stage Limit, even in the Eastern Province, there were very few who had reached this stage.
The only ones he knew at this stage were Bi Yue, who was with him, and the Sect Hierarch of the Cloud Reaching Sect.
Although he’d never personally seen the Sect Hierarch in action, he’d heard that the Sect Hierarch was indeed at the limit of the Golden Core Stage.
