Chapter 147: With One Sword Control Skill, You Can Go Anywhere! (Fourth Update)

After a flurry of explanations, the two finally understood that the Shushan Sect was actually a faction from within the game, and the Sword Control Technique was nothing short of a flying spell from it.

"Should we buy one too...?" Zhang Wanyuan spoke with a trace of envy as she stared at Fang Qi, who stood atop a flying sword amidst the clouds, her voice trembling slightly with excitement. "This is incredibly convenient! And so fast! Even martial artists can learn it!"

"Then we shall buy one and play it alongside Diablo!" Dong Qingli's eyes were also filled with longing as she gazed at the screen, astounded that such a method of flight even existed.

"However..." someone typed into the bullet comment section while watching the stream, asking, "Where is the owner planning to fly?"

"Where to...?" How was Fang Qi supposed to know where he was going?

Since arriving in this world, he had been entirely unfamiliar with the land, knowing only the small territory of Jiuhua City.

Once outside Jiuhua City, let alone knowing his destination, he could not even tell north from south.

"Owner, go to Yanhai City!" Ye Xiaoye reacted instantly, her fingers flying as she typed, "I highly recommend flying to Yanhai City! You can eat seafood and gaze upon the vast, magnificent sea!"

Sending off the bullet comment, Ye Xiaoye smiled with immense satisfaction, thrilled by the thought of having the owner visit her own city.

"Come to the Flowing Cloud Daoist Palace!" The two maidens, Fenghua and Yuexin, hastily sent their own comments. "The scenery at our Flowing Cloud Daoist Palace is exquisite! If luck is on your side, you can even witness the grand spectacle of the Sea of Clouds from Eight Directions! There is also the sea of flowers at our Tianji Palace! The owner will surely love it!"

Xue Daolv stroked his beard, evidently holding immense confidence in his own sect.

"I recommend the Sea of Clouds Sect! And the various sects of the Southern Sea!" Yun Lian joined the flurry of messages. "The scenery of our overseas islands is by no means inferior to the Flowing Cloud Daoist Palace! You can also taste the Mist-Swallowing Tea, a specialty of the Southern Sea!"

Ye Songtao nodded slightly as he watched the messages flood the screen, the Sea of Clouds Sect already being painted as a premier tourist destination.

"You are also welcome to visit this old man's Silver Dragon Grotto-Heaven!" The Silver Dragon Elder chimed in to join the merriment.

Seeing rows upon rows of recommendations on the screen, Dong Qingli could no longer sit still: "Should we make a recommendation as well?"

"Why not go to the Imperial Capital? The Imperial Capital is grand and majestic, the very heart where the destiny of the Great Jin Dynasty converges. People from all directions come to pay homage, and it is a place where one can meet travelers from every corner of the earth. The Star-Gazing Palace is an absolute wonder of the world; it is said that from its highest peak, one can pluck the stars from the sky!" After figuring out how to send a bullet comment, Dong Qingli hastily dispatched her recommendation.

"The Imperial Capital also possesses all sorts of delicacies!" At the mention of food, Dong Qingli suddenly realized she had not yet eaten her Haagen-Dazs after finishing her gaming session today. She quickly ordered a tub, and while savoring the ice cream with bliss, she continued her promotion: "The Crystal Pipa Duck, the Thousand-Light Silver-Scaled Carp, and the Golden Pastry of the Imperial Capital are unmatched beneath heaven! I highly recommend tasting them!"

"Owner! Go to the Imperial Capital!" Jiang Xiaoyuan also voiced her support. "I want to watch a live stream of the Imperial Capital!"

There were too many formidable figures in the Imperial Capital for her to dare visit in person, but that did not hinder her desire to see what the most prosperous city of the Great Jin Dynasty looked like.

Fang Qi glanced at the barrage of comments, his face a mask of utter bewilderment: "So many suggestions? How am I supposed to choose?!"

Chen Feng and his son, the young master Chen, along with their entourage, had just logged off their machines at that moment: "Why is there such a massive crowd gathered here?"

"We are watching the owner's outdoor live stream; we're currently recommending other cities for him to visit."

"Live stream?" Chen Feng cast a glance at the screen, and his jaw nearly dropped to the floor in shock. "Where on earth is the owner?! How is he stepping on a flying sword?!"

He stared at the clouds drifting past the screen: "Could this be up in the heavens?!"

"The Sword Control Technique!"

Chen Feng and his companions hurriedly joined the onlookers, their faces filled with profound shock.

"Owner, go to the Imperial Capital!" At this juncture, Li Haoran also sent a comment. "I will inform Master Mu; he will surely be delighted to see you!"

"Master Mu? Who is that?" Fang Qi was entirely perplexed.

"The mustached fellow who wanted to purchase a computer back when he was playing Resident Evil?" Upon reading Li Haoran's explanation through the communication jade, Fang Qi finally understood. "No wonder I haven't seen him for so long; so he went to the Imperial Capital?"

"Very well, then. Today we shall live-stream a journey to the Imperial Capital via sword flight, and catch up with an old acquaintance along the way!"

"Wow! The owner is the best!" Jiang Xiaoyuan appeared thoroughly thrilled.

"Does anyone know the way to the Imperial Capital?!" Fang Qi remained utterly lost.

"Fly towards the northwest!"

Fang Qi took a glance, channeled the Sword Control Technique, and flew straight towards the northwest.

Along the path, drifting clouds scattered past his sides. Looking down, the earth, mountains, and rivers resembled a grand chessboard. Jiuhua City, that majestic metropolis, now appeared no larger than the palm of a hand.

"How I wish that one day I too could fly like this!" Ye Xiaoye watched with immense excitement.

"This lad... who would have thought his Sword Control Technique had already reached such a level?!" Naran Hongwu and the others also clicked their tongues in mild astonishment. "This speed is truly remarkable!"

"Look, everyone, Weinan City is just ahead!"

"We can already see Weinan City so soon! This is far too fast!"

Dong Qingli and Zhang Wanyuan remained frozen in a state of continuous shock: "How could it possibly be this fast?!"

"It is nearly catching up to the full speed of an ultra-large spiritual boat, isn't it?!"

Su Tianji also watched with a hint of fervor in her eyes: "If I could train to this lad's level, why would I ever ride a spiritual boat again?!"

Xue Daolv spoke while enjoying his Haagen-Dazs: "This is truly formidable!"

An Huwei was likewise eating Haagen-Dazs while keeping his eyes glued to the large screen: "Why bother buying spiritual boats in the future? A single flying sword resolves everything! This is simply too convenient!"

Xiao Yulv's face was painted with envy: "The Sword Control Technique is far too magnificent! This young master wishes to learn it as well...!"

"I want to learn it too..." Jiang Xiaoyuan's heart fluttered with unease. "How do humans possess such a powerful spell? I wonder if I am capable of learning it..."

...

"Owner! There might be demonic birds near the border of Jiangnan!"

"One must be careful of demonic beasts when flying solitary!"

"Eh...? Isn't that a Gale Falcon, which is equivalent to a Great Martial Grandmaster?" someone pointed at the screen and inquired.

"Where?"

"It went behind the owner's back..."

"I don't see anything behind the owner..."

"That small black speck..."

"...Are you sure your eyes aren't playing tricks on you...?"

"Look below, we have passed another city! So fast!"

The crowd remained trapped in perpetual astonishment.

...

Within the Lingyun Academy.

"Are you saying that not only can one enter and become the protagonist, but the speed of increasing one's strength is also incredibly rapid?!" Shen Cang was utterly dazed. He had spent so much time discussing Diablo with the man, only to realize that while he had been listening to a novel, the other had been playing a game?!

And it was in that very shop which the academy had strictly forbidden anyone to enter?!

What was even more absurd was the content of Yu Liang's words.

Yu Liang was, after all, a man who had weathered storms. Though he had been dazed for quite some time before, he quickly regained his composure now: "Of course! Otherwise, why do you think those disciples are willing to take such immense risks?!"

Only by dragging these two into the mire could he ensure his own safety!

"How can we believe you?" Shen Cang was indeed somewhat swayed. To think that such a brilliant biographical novel could allow one to act as the protagonist and experience their journey firsthand?!

And it could even elevate one's strength with extreme speed?!

Most crucial of all was strength; no one ever complained of having too much of it.

Yu Liang continued to entice them: "Think about it, the academy never issued a ban against us instructors. This is a magnificent opportunity! Furthermore, those disciples haven't gone there for so long, yet aren't they all perfectly fine? It is nowhere near as exaggerated as Head Instructor Qin made it out to be."

"What good would it do me to deceive you in such matters? Catching instructors who enter that little shop doesn't yield any bounty!"

The two exchanged a glance: "Shall we... go take a look?"

The silence stretched out, vast and empty.
