Chapter 127: Flying on a Sword

Lu Yang stayed at Bailian Peak for three days, during which he constantly discussed with Li Haoran how to better refine the flying sword attachment.

"It needs to be as light as possible, otherwise it won't be able to fly, or the flying speed will be too slow."

"Do you think we should install an ejection seat? You know, something that automatically shoots upward to escape in the face of danger?"

"Mount the flying sword on top of the head? No, absolutely not. Mine is an orthodox flying sword technique. Have you ever seen any sword cultivator mount their flying sword on their head?"

Hard work paid off, and after three days of diligent effort, the attachment was finally completed.

"Why don't you give it a name?" Li Haoran suggested that Lu Yang should name it.

"It is shaped like a carriage yet can fly in the sky. How about calling it a flying car?" Lu Yang came up with a rather plain name.

"Senior Brother Lu, want to give it a try?" With the attachment successfully refined, Li Haoran felt a sense of satisfaction and wanted to see how Lu Yang would take to the sky.

Lu Yang nodded, feeling a bit thrilled. He sat inside the car, gripped the steering wheel with both hands, and remained motionless for quite a while.

"What's wrong?" Li Haoran inquired.

Lu Yang scratched his head: "I suddenly remembered that I haven't learned the flying sword technique yet."

Li Haoran: "..."

I spent all that time refining it with such excitement, and it turns out you don't even know how to fly?

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll just learn it right now." Lu Yang remained unhurried, asking the Immortal Fairy to teach him the flying sword technique.

The flying sword technique was a mandatory spell for sword cultivators and was widely popularized, so the Immortal Fairy naturally possessed this entry-level knack.

To be honest, the Immortal Fairy was not particularly keen on teaching Lu Yang the flying sword technique. If he learned it askew, her lifelong glorious reputation would turn to dust and ashes.

"The so-called flying sword technique uses the sword as a vessel to carry divine sense. The stronger the divine sense, the higher the compatibility with the sword, and the faster the flying sword will fly..."

The Immortal Fairy was more than just a single level above the Eldest Senior Sister when it came to teaching. She explained things profound yet simple, clear and easy to understand, and it did not take long for Lu Yang to master the technique.

The Green Peak Sword floated in the air, coming and going as it pleased. Lu Yang felt that even if an elephant were to step on the Green Peak Sword, it could still fly smoothly.

Lu Yang's talent in the way of the sword was beyond dispute.

Lu Yang gained some insight, realizing this was likely the function of the Sword Spirit Root, ensuring that his learning of sword arts and techniques would never go astray.

There was a groove beneath the flying car, where the Green Peak Sword could fit perfectly without falling, remaining exceptionally stable.

Lu Yang boarded the car once more, gripped the steering wheel, and circulated the flying sword technique. The flying car actually took flight, driven by the Green Peak Sword!

The flying car first levitated slowly. This was not because the Green Peak Sword flew slowly, but because Lu Yang had not yet fully adapted to this brand-new way of flying.

By the time the flying car hovered high in the sky, Lu Yang had gradually mastered the flying skills. His speed grew faster and faster, dancing in the shape of a figure-eight. By the end of his practice, he could even perform sharp-angle turns, which was simply incredible!

Possessing the physical constitution of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, issues like oxygen deficiency and air pressure did not manifest in Lu Yang at all.

"Haha, I, Lu Yang, finally have the day to ride a sword and fly!" Lu Yang laughed heartily. He knew that any difficulty had a solution.

Who said I dare not fly to the sky?

The Immortal Fairy found this feeling rather novel.

Upon Bailian Peak, countless people raised their heads to watch Lu Yang fly on his sword, completely dumbfounded.

An advanced vehicle like the flying car was a cross-era means of transport even on Bailian Peak, which had always possessed advanced ideas and prided itself on leading the trends of the era.

"Look quickly, what is that?!" The junior brothers and sisters from the same year as Lu Yang looked in astonishment at the iron shell flying in the sky.

"I saw this yesterday when I went to ask Senior Brother Li Haoran a question. It's a Dharma treasure being refined for Senior Brother Lu!"

"Senior Brother Lu? The one from our same term, who possesses the Sword Spirit Root, ranked first in performance, and successfully became a disciple under the Sect Master?" A junior brother widened his eyes, holding Lu Yang in high esteem.

Anyone who did not have direct contact with Lu Yang would be shocked by his lifelong achievements, believing him to be a safe, composed, and reliable senior brother.

Of course, there were also those who had long-term direct contact with Lu Yang yet never changed their initial impression, such as Mangu.

"Yes, it's him! I heard from Senior Brother Li that this is Senior Brother Lu's flying sword technique!"

"How formidable! This is completely different from the flying sword techniques I've seen before. It gives a strange sense of security! No need to buy insurance at all!"

Among the types of insurance proposed by the Falling Gold Money Chamber of Commerce, there was a flight insurance, which could specifically be divided into flight loss insurance, third-party liability insurance, and so forth.

"Senior Brother Lu is clearly the same age as us, yet he can already create a flying sword technique exclusive to himself. This is the gap between us!"

"A pity I am not a sword cultivator, otherwise I would learn this flying sword technique no matter what!"

Lu Yang flew to his heart's content in the sky before finally landing, his face still filled with a lingering desire for more.

Stepping out of the car, Lu Yang found Li Haoran standing respectfully to the side, and the Fifth Elder, Zhou Xin, had arrived at some unknown point.

"Fifth Elder." Lu Yang greeted respectfully.

"Heh heh, Lu Yang, right? I heard about the process from Haoran. Your creativity is quite excellent. In the future, it might just become a mainstream mode of transportation."

"The Fifth Elder praises me too highly."

"Those who know me know that I am not in the habit of praising people. This thing called a flying car can bring you quite a lot of profit."

"Profit?" Lu Yang was puzzled.

The Fifth Elder turned his head to say to Li Haoran: "It just so happens you have emerged from seclusion, so you should also familiarize yourself with the main business of our Bailian Peak. Our Bailian Peak frequently produces objects that have never appeared before. To protect the right of invention and gain profit, we regularly go to the government office to apply for patent registration."

"The same applies to Danding Peak. This is the main source of income for Bailian Peak and Danding Peak."

"It just so happens that in a few days, several of your senior brothers are going down the mountain to register. Organize Lu Yang's inventive ideas and head out together with your senior brothers."

The Fifth Elder then said to Lu Yang: "Your talent is decent, and your mind is quick. You are naturally suited for our Ask Xuan Sect. Learn well from Yun Zhi. The Ask Xuan Sect will belong to you all in the future. Have less contact with that old scoundrel, the Ninth."

Lu Yang shrank his neck. Logically speaking, since the Fifth Elder insulted his master, he, as a disciple, should step forward to argue. However, he felt that learning the Immortal Fairy's optimistic spirit of "admitting defeat when outmatched" was also quite good right now.

The Immortal Fairy knit her brows. She felt that Lu Yang was thinking about something very rude, but she had no evidence.

"How is Master doing now?"

The Fifth Elder sneered and said nothing.

Tianmen Peak, the pine forest.

The seal on the cave dwelling was finally broken. The First Elder through the Eighth Elder had long since departed, leaving behind only Daoist Buyu, who was unwilling to leave.

Daoist Buyu was tied up like a caterpillar, wriggling on the ground. A yellow talisman paper was stuck to his forehead, and his mouth was stuffed with a sock by someone, letting out muffled whimpers.

The rope was a top-tier supreme treasure, preventing Daoist Buyu from breaking free with brute force. The yellow paper could seal spiritual power, rendering Daoist Buyu unable to cast spells.

As for how long it would take Daoist Buyu to wriggle his way out, that would depend on his own luck.

This was the punishment for Daoist Buyu beating drums and gongs to the side while the eight of them were focusing on meditating to break the seal.
