Chapter 414: Encountered Bad Weather

In this journey full of unknowns and challenges, Lu Yuan and the others must constantly explore their potential, increase their strength, and at the same time solidify trust and tacit understanding between them.

They know that only by uniting can they defeat evil forces like the Black Flame Sect and protect the peace and tranquility of the Xiuzhen Jie. Lu Yuan and Gu Qingwan arrived at the immortal vessel of the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

This immortal vessel, filled with mysterious power, is docked above the vast sea of clouds, giving an incomparably solemn and reverent feeling.

Upon entering the immortal vessel, a fresh and pleasant fragrance permeates the surrounding air.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor sits upright within the immortal vessel, his slender fingers lightly plucking the strings, slowly emitting pleasant and moving melodies.

Lu Yuan and Gu Qingwan stand quietly before the Dao Ancestor, feeling the tranquility and peace conveyed by the music.

"Master." Lu Yuan respectfully bows to the Supreme Dao Ancestor, feeling grateful from the bottom of his heart for everything he has given him.

He knows that in this fantastical and opportunistic world of cultivation, the Supreme Dao Ancestor is their strongest backing and support.

"Lu Yuan, Qingwan."

The Supreme Dao Ancestor smiles and gazes at the two, "You've come at just the right time; I wanted to discuss with you your insights on the Dao of cultivation."

Lu Yuan's heart stirred, anticipating further improvement in his cultivation.

He feels that the Dao of cultivation is boundless, and exchanging with the Dao Ancestor will surely yield deeper thoughts and understanding.

Gu Qingwan also silently nods in agreement; she knows that communicating with an expert like the Supreme Dao Ancestor is a very precious opportunity for her.

Lu Yuan shares in detail with the Supreme Dao Ancestor his recent insights and realizations regarding immortal arts.

He explains each immortal art's characteristics and uses one by one, from the Five Elements Escape Technique to the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation, and then to the deployment of the Detection Technique.

Gu Qingwan shares her experiences and insights from using the Ice Crystal Long Whip.

She explains the chill and power contained within the Ice Crystal Long Whip, as well as the enhancement brought by the Cold Jade Ice Slice.

She also mentions the supportive role she played in the confrontations against the Red Lotus Sect and the Blood Moon Sect.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor falls silent for a moment, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

He says, "You have already attained a certain level of understanding and application of the Dao of cultivation, but you still need further insight."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's heart jolts; he knows the Supreme Dao Ancestor's words are true.

He deeply knows the vastness of the Dao of cultivation; he has only seen the tip of the iceberg.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor continues, "The world of cultivation is boundless; you must continually break through your bottlenecks and master more powerful immortal arts and skills."

"Moreover, the Dao of cultivation is also a process of mutual learning, exchanging insights, and intellectual collision among people."

Lu Yuan and Gu Qingwan glance at each other, their eyes revealing a yearning for new ideas and new horizons.

They understand that under the guidance of the Supreme Dao Ancestor, in this journey full of opportunities and challenges, they will continually expand their deeper understanding of the path of cultivation.

Under the guidance of the Supreme Dao Ancestor, Lu Yuan and Gu Qingwan begin to further explore the mysteries of the immortal path.

They immerse themselves in endless cultivation and study, constantly correcting and improving themselves.

Each exchange and collision brings them new insights and inspirations. King Qi stands on the deck of the immortal vessel, gazing into the distant horizon.

His eyes reveal anticipation and longing; he hopes to shine in the Supreme Immortal Court and become a top existence in the Xiuzhen Jie.

In contrast, Su Liyan maintains an aloof attitude.

She stands silently to the side, her eyes showing no emotional fluctuation.

She seems uninterested in King Qi's presence.

Seeing Su Liyan's indifferent expression, King Qi feels somewhat troubled.

He knows in his heart that his strength and cultivation are not inferior to Su Liyan's, yet she keeps such a distance from him.

Attempting to change the situation, King Qi approaches Su Liyan, "Miss Su, I hope we can have better communication and cooperation."

Su Liyan slightly lifts her head, glances at him, "You are indeed strong, but that does not mean you have my trust."

A flicker of loss crosses King Qi's face; he has never encountered someone so cold and distant.

He faces a great challenge: to change Su Liyan's opinion of him and gain her approval.

Suddenly, the immortal vessel shakes violently, a strong wind strikes.

Lightning flashes and thunder roars in the sky, dark clouds billow, as if wanting to swallow everything.

"What's going on?"

King Qi frowns tightly, suppressing his inner anxiety.

Su Liyan stares at the scene before her, calmly saying, "It seems we have encountered bad weather."

The immortal vessel continues forward in the wind and rain, swaying incessantly.

The scene of lightning and thunder together makes people feel uneasy.

At this moment, the Supreme Dao Ancestor appears on the deck.

He glances at the worrying weather changes, "Fellow disciples, please steady yourselves and proceed under my guidance."

As everyone follows the Supreme Dao Ancestor in adjusting their stance, suddenly a bolt of lightning strikes the immortal vessel.

In an instant, the lightning shatters the sail and the protective shield.

"Not good!" Lu Yuan shouts, "Everyone quickly prepare to defend against the lightning!"

Gu Qingwan swiftly takes out the treasure Phoenix Fire Lotus Basin, activates her mana to resist the lightning.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor also shifts his form, mana bursting forth, protecting the hull and everyone. The immortal vessel continues forward amidst the lightning, and under the guidance of the Supreme Dao Ancestor, everyone steadies themselves.

Lu Yuan grips his Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword tightly, holding his breath as he observes the surroundings.

Gu Qingwan raises the Phoenix Fire Lotus Basin high, emitting flames to resist the erosion of the lightning.

"The power of this heaven and earth is truly vast."

Lu Yuan secretly marvels in his heart, feeling the intense fluctuations of heavenly and earthly qi around him.

This icy plain seems to contain enormous secrets.

Su Liyan silently watches everyone's all-out effort, she gently crushes the Cold Jade Ice Slice in her hand,

The Ice Crystal Long Whip instantly emits a dazzling light.

She knew that in this team, each person had their own unique role and ability.

As the immortal vessel gradually passed through the Realm of Thunder and Lightning, a vast and strange ice plain appeared before everyone's eyes.

They were in the midst of a boundless ice sea, and before them lay an endless ice plain scene with bitter, cutting winds.

Lu Yuan and Gu Qingwan looked around in astonishment, and they simply could not believe the sight before them.

They saw a huge and magnificent peerless treasure pagoda—that was the legendary Howling Heaven Divine Chart.

"This... this is the Howling Heaven Divine Chart!" Lu Yuan said, his voice trembling.

A surging aura rushed over them, as if it would devour a person.

Everyone could feel that this ice plain hid endless power and secrets. (End of chapter)
