Chapter 747 - 225: Venerable Dojo
Chapter 747 - 225: Venerable Dojo
In the latter half of the night, Chen Yan had already returned to the cargo hold to rest, but a crew member kicked open the hatch and shouted to Chen Yan inside, "Brother! Come out quickly! We’re passing by the Venerable Dojo!"
The other man was enthusiastic, and Chen Yan didn’t want to disappoint him. He himself was quite curious about this Venerable Dojo, so he got up and followed the crew member outside.
Upon reaching the deck, a crowd had already gathered on the right side.
The steward, who rarely showed his face, was also dressed in a blue robe, standing by the ship’s side, looking serious as he gazed northward to the left.
Beside him, over a dozen crew members were also neatly dressed, craning their necks, peering into the distance, waiting for something.
As Chen Yan stepped onto the deck, the steward clearly saw him but merely glanced, then withdrew his gaze without saying anything.
The crew member beside Chen Yan whispered, "It’s fine; when encountering a Venerable Dojo, who wouldn’t want to come out and see the spectacle? It’s human nature, the steward won’t drive you away."
By now, the sky had started to lighten, and between heaven and earth, the sky was filled with clouds. The clouds were not very thick, and through the faint mist, the ground could be vaguely seen...
The flying ship was indeed slowly descending, and as it lost altitude, the ship’s body sank into the sea of clouds, surrounded by swirling mist.
After a moment, it suddenly cleared, having descended below the clouds. Now looking towards the ground, everything became clearer.
The land with mountains and rivers was vast from this height.
Just as Chen Yan was looking around, he suddenly felt a jolt in his heart, his spiritual sense seemed to react, and immediately he looked up towards the right front of the flying ship!
In the air, golden rays suddenly unfurled, seemingly triggered as the flying ship moved forward into a certain area, causing some array to react.
In an instant, the golden light intensified as if they had entered a certain invisible barrier.
Within the barrier, the scene at the left front of the flying ship suddenly changed!
As the ship advanced, the surrounding clouds swirled and shifted. As a few clouds parted, a mountain suddenly appeared in the air on the right!!
The peak floated in the sky, seemingly rootless and suspended.
The morning sunlight fell slightly, casting upon the peak. Under some array effect, standing on the deck of the ship, it seemed as if the peak emitted a radiant seven-colored light, changing like a rainbow.
The peak was lush with greenery, with cascading waterfalls that flowed and fell at the base of the floating peak, turning into rain and mist that drifted to the ground...
At the top of the peak, there seemed to be pavilions looming amidst the greenery, including a tall tower that appeared to emit light, dazzling with immortal family splendor!
Chen Yan, with just a glance, found his gaze irresistibly drawn in.
Mysteriously, some place within his consciousness seemed to be stirred by the brilliant light of the Venerable Dojo, his thoughts seemingly drawn by some power in an instant.
The flowing light shimmered, with each ray seemingly affecting the rhythm of Chen Yan’s breathing.
Unconsciously, he seemed to follow an invisible rhythm between heaven and earth, his thoughts fluctuating, his breathing rhythmically changing, even the primordial qi he sensed in his body seemed to be gently flowing...
For a moment, Chen Yan lost awareness and control over his own body!
Even his consciousness had fallen into a peculiar "blankness." Unknowingly, the primordial qi inside him flowed, seemingly operating on its own, transporting like the movement of primordial qi, but this rhythm seemed unlike practicing martial arts.
Just as Chen Yan was lost in his daze, suddenly, a cold voice resounded from deep within his mind!
"Hmph!!"
This voice seemed to carry anger and discontent.
This heavy hum instantly cleared the fog in Chen Yan’s consciousness, sharpening his awareness! His gaze, breathing rhythm, even the moving primordial qi around him, suddenly all dissipated, and he returned to normal!
Chen Yan was startled, filling his heart with caution. When he looked at the Venerable Dojo in the distance again, his eyes couldn’t help but reflect a frightened astonishment.
Simultaneously, a tempest rose within his heart as he tried hard to recall the sudden heavy hum in his mind earlier!
This Venerable Dojo seemed to carry a marvelously perplexing force, nearly putting him into a strange state of mind.
Yet this heavy hum woke him up in time.
This voice... where did it come from?
Chen Yan, without betraying emotion, lowered his gaze, trying hard to remember the voice from earlier.
The voice was unfamiliar; he shouldn’t have heard it before.
But, following that hum, his consciousness distinctly felt a familiar taste...
That emotion, the flow of consciousness, and that familiar tugging sensation!
... The Ring!!
Though he didn’t recognize the voice, the familiar disgruntled sentiment was clearly... from the Ring!!
Chen Yan stood dazed, while on the deck, the steward had already taken a deep breath, bowed with clasped hands towards the distant Venerable Dojo!
"Venerable Shanxiang above, this humble one greets the Saint!!"
As the steward bowed deeply, the crew members behind him knelt down one by one towards the distant floating peak in reverence.
