"Master! You are here!"
Deng Tianjin looked at Ling Tian and smiled happily. He came over and hugged him with big smiles, as if they were great friends.
Although they had only just said goodbye to each other a little over three months ago, Deng Tianjin was still happy to see Ling Tian. After all, Ling Tian is his Master and they hadn't seen him for ages.
"Master!"
Ying Cheng couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Deng Tianjin's voice, immediately looking for Ling Tian's figure.
"I finally caught up with you guys!" Ling Tian nodded with a faint smile, momentarily patting Ying Chen's head and messing up his hair when he saw that despite seeing him, he did not get up and continued to flow his power.
"Master!" Hao Zhentian also opened his eyes and looked at Ling Tian, he let out a sigh as he saw that Ling Tian was fine.
"I see you guys have a somewhat curious flying artifact..."
Ling Tian nodded to Hao Zhentian with a smile, patting his shoulder briefly as his spirit sense continued to observe the flying ship, being a strange, very ancient flying ship. He simply glanced inside, where a few rooms were located, only to realize that the space inside was profoundly enlarged just by probing with his spirit sense.
A quick scan made Ling Tian realize that the interior seemed so large and spacious, like a palace, with dozens and hundreds of meters of space inside stretching lengthwise, while the outside of the flying ship measured just over 50 meters or so.
Clearly there were powerful special formations that expanded the space.
Inside there were also countless rooms, where Ling Tian could sense different familiar auras, being the families of his wives, all of whom came from Star City, from the Divine Star Continent on the lower plane.
Ling Tian also sensed the auras of Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu, as well as the other disciples who were with Deng Tianjin before.
The spirit sense covered one of the front rooms, noticing Shin Wei who seemed to be sleeping soundly, with his aura gradually recovering.
"Forgive us, master, that we can't greet you properly. It's just that we need to keep spiritual energy flowing into the ship so that we can move forward and continue to maintain the space within..." Ying Chen replied with a small bitter smile as he saw Ling Tian's curious look, while also apologizing for not greeting him properly.
"It's alright! I see that it's not simple mechanism at all and you need to be completely focused on making this flying boat work..." Ling Tian nodded and he asked, "By the way, where did you find this flying artifact? If I'm not mistaken, this flying artifact is very ancient, and its level must be a very high grade."
With just a quick glance, it was obvious that this flying ship was anything but simple. The arrangements of hidden arrays, formations, runes and symbols hidden throughout the flying ship were undoubtedly of high quality, some of them even reaching immortal origins!
Ling Tian frowned slightly as he noticed these symbols.
"I found it in one of the small mysterious realms a long time ago, Master."
Hao Zhentian replied shortly, "Although the place where I got it was in the ruins of some ancient sect, I couldn't find any more related things or information."
Ling Tian nodded at Hao Zhentian's words, "This artifact is clearly somewhat worn out due to its lifespan, but I can completely repair it and even upgrade it so that it can become a half-immortal flying artifact."
Although it would take a lot of special materials, Ling Tian could repair and upgrade this flying ship.
"Really, Master? Great!" Ying Chen was stunned and immediately smiled expectantly.
If Ling Tian could upgrade this flying boat, then its speed would be faster and perhaps the consumption would be less.
Hao Zhentian was just as astonished as Ying Chen, but he immediately smiled cheerfully. Ling Tian was always his role model, of all of them, so what was impossible for them to do, Ling Tian could do it!
Although they tried to improve this flying artifact, they had been unsuccessful so far.
"And who are you?"
Deng Tianjin's voice was heard at once, attracting Hao Zhentian and Ying Chen's gazes.
"Huh?"
Yang Jing was startled to see Deng Tianjin watching her curiously. She was still somewhat confused to see these young men like Ling Tian referring to him as Master. Rather than Master and Disciples, they looked like a group of friends gathered together.
"My name is Yang Jing..." Yang Jing replied after a few seconds.
"Yang Jing?" Deng Tianjin blinked in surprise before frowning, unable to remember Yang Jing, nor could he remember if this girl was a disciple of some of his sisters.
"She is your new disciple, Master?" Deng Tianjin could not remember and he asked Ling Tian directly, "... or is she your future wife?" A somewhat mischievous smirk appeared on his face at once.
Yang Jing was stunned to hear Deng Tianjin's words. Her gaze shifted to Ling Tian, wondering if that was really Ling Tian's hidden purpose in kidnapping her.
Hao Zhentian and Ying Chen also looked at Ling Tian curiously wanting to know about Yang Jing, but said nothing, unlike Deng Tianjin.
The thing was, Yang Jing had no cultivation base!
Ling Tian calmly looked at Deng Tianjin, sending a chill down his spine as he met his eyes.
"You and brat Xiang really haven't changed at all, right?"
Ling Tian looked at Deng Tianjin, then turned to look at Hao Zhentian and Ying Chen, with an idea popping up in his mind.
"Whew! We had a bit of good luck! These bastards had quite a few good things!"
Sun Xiang entered the flying boat with big smiles as he fiddled with several storage rings in his hands.
"One impudent brat and another scoundrel brat..." Ling Tian murmured faintly, but it was clearly heard by everyone.
Deng Tianjin was silent, his complexion sweating as he wanted to escape from the place. Sun Xiang was no better, as he could sense that Ling Tian was about to do something to them. Sun Xiang froze in place, recalling Ling Tian's words earlier.
"How long do you think it would take for us to reach the capital?" Ling Tian asked.
"I estimate that it would take us less than two months to arrive." Hao Zhentian replied at once, but frowned and added, "However, because we have to pass through dangerous areas and the flying boat also attracts a lot of attention, we can only let two of us keep watch along the way..."
Hao Zhentian began to explain the operation of the flying boat to Ling Tian.
This flying boat, had the amazing function that it could absorb spiritual energy from either cultivators or spiritual crystals to extend the space inside and make it much bigger, even creating thousands of rooms or spaces the more energy and power it added!
However, the consumption to maintain this amazing flying boat function was enormous. Even for them, supreme experts of the great ascension realm, their energy reserves would quickly deplete in a short time, having to take turns resting and switching between themselves.
They also could not allow a powerful force to attack the ship, as it could affect the functionality of the inside and seriously damage the flying ship, and although their defense was not the problem, it could still seriously affect the ship. The people inside could be affected and hurt, even to the point of being killed when space compresses or disappears.
Therefore, they could not afford for anything to happen to the family of Ling Tian, their Master, whom they were protecting!
The speed that the flying ship could reach was also astonishing, far surpassing the speeds of extreme grade flying artifacts, which are the most powerful and highest quality flying artifacts in the cultivation world.
"Little Tianjin... little Xiang... you guys will share your energy to little Zhentian!"
Ling Tian said bluntly as he placed his palm on Ying Chen's shoulder, his spirit sense covered him and he quickly understood what Ying Chen was doing.
Deng Tianjin and Sun Xiang looked at each other, feeling full of bitterness as they realized that Ling Tian wanted to punish them.
"I'll help little Chen to reduce the air pressure and keep the inner space formation active, so concentrate on reaching the capital as quickly as possible." Ling Tian looked at Hao Zhentian, then at Sun Xiang and Deng Tianjin, "You two help your brother make this thing fly faster."
"Ok..."
Sun Xiang whimpered almost crying, while Deng Tianjin winced painfully as he realized what they were about to do it.
"You can choose one of the open rooms to rest, this trip will still last a few days."
Ling Tian finally turned to look at Yang Jing, pointing to one of the rooms behind when the door opened at once, "I'll arrange to bring you something to eat later."
"Alright..." Yang Jing nodded and turned around.
Yang Jing looked at the interior of the flying boat, shocking when she realized that it looked extremely long at first glance, with dozens of rooms arranged inside endlessly!
Standing outside of an empty room, Yang Jing gazed at the surroundings for a few moments before stepping inside and closing the door.
Ling Tian withdrew his gaze when he saw Yang Jin sat on the bed and she turned her gaze outside, watching the sky through a window.
"Let's go! I want to go back as soon as possible!"
Ling Tian let out a sigh and let the powerful energy of The Sacred Heavenly Scriptures flow. The spatial principles were mobilized and Ling Tian completely enclosed the flying ship, with the force of space being controlled by him.
Ying Chen, being the main one facing the atmospheric pressure in the sky, clearly felt the air pressure suddenly being removed. Even he could feel that the energy consumed to maintain the special formations of the ship that extended the space inside was almost completely eliminated. Ying Chen could not help but feel stunned!
Hao Zhentian, Deng Tianjin and Sun Xiang also felt it and looked at Ling Tian in shock, knowing that what he was doing was unbelievable.
Hao Zhentian did not hesitate and began to flow all his energy into the core of the flying artifact, starting to mobilize the flying boat rapidly. Deng Tianjin and Sun Xiang beside him came out of their stunned thoughts and expelled their energies as well, helping Hao Zhentian.
Ying Cheng concentrated on maintaining the strength facing the air pressure when flying and the energy consumed to keep the inner space flying boat active, but since Ling Tian had now completely eliminated these two problems, Ying Chen became much more relaxed, and he could even help Hao Zhentian as well.
The flying boat reached a terrifying flying speed in a matter of minutes, reaching half the speed of light quickly!
