Chapter 26: See Again,
Chapter 26: See Again,
The spiritual ship that Alu was riding on began leaving shortly after Alu and the others entered their private room.
The spiritual ship flew so high above the sky and its speed was so unimaginably fast that someone at Alu's level could no longer see the land below.
The speed of the spiritual ship this time was probably three times faster than the spiritual ship that Alu was riding on when he went to Blue Spiritual Kingdom.
But even at that speed, the spiritual ship still couldn't travel easily. When it entered the remote region, it was attacked several times by Nirvana stage beasts.
Fortunately there are several experts guarding the spiritual ship. But even with those experts guarding, the continuous attacks from the beasts still left quite a few people injured.
It was definitely not an easy thing to travel across continents. Apart from being very wide, there are also many dangerous places along the way. Such places, even a Nirvana stage expert should be careful when going through them.
Those who were still below the Nirvana stage could only hitch a ride on the spiritual ship to pass through those dangerous places.
As the spiritual ship continued to travel, Alu and the others spent more and more time listening to Old Joz tell stories.
Even though there were Roux and Reva in the place, Old Joz still didn't hold back as he shared his many experiences in the outside world. He also talked about the many geniuses who made up many extraordinary legends.
Old Joz's stories make Alu, Roux and Reva realize how remote the continent they are in now.
The Ice Queen has frozen a vast ocean.
The Sword God had blinded his eyes when he was young, yet he still managed to kill millions of experts.
The Immortal Emperor defeated many powerful enemies to rule the most extensive continent.
Those stories are legends in the Hundred Miracles World. But why have they never heard of it.
And the stories also made Roux and Reva realize that this seemingly simple old man is definitely not a simple person.
...
About three days later after passing through dozens of kingdoms, the spiritual ship that Alu was in arrived at countless mountainous areas. Each of the mountains looked so huge that even the capital of the Phoenix Kingdom seemed small compared to one of the mountains.
When it reached the sky above those mountains, the spiritual ship's flying speed also started to slow down, and it slowly started to descend downwards.
The spiritual ship descended through many layers of clouds, and as the land below was revealed, Alu was a little stunned for a moment.
Right below that spiritual ship, was a mountain nearly a thousand times the size of the capital of the phoenix kingdom.
What stunned Alu was; In the middle of the mountain was actually a very large crater, and above that crater Alu saw a city perhaps a hundred times bigger than the capital city of the phoenix kingdom.
Even from a distance, Alu could see the magnificent buildings towering over the city.
"So this is Sleeping Dragon City." Alu said to himself as he saw the city.
Even though Alu heard that it was so majestic, ALU never imagined that it would actually be that grand.
In front of such a large city, even a Nirvana stage expert who was at the level of a king from an ordinary kingdom might not dare to be arrogant.
Apart from that, the city also emitted an extremely majestic aura as if there really was a dragon sleeping in the city.
"Hehehehe. The name of this city is actually a copy of the name of one of the largest cities in the World of Hundred Wonders. The structure of the construction is almost completely the same. But compared to this original, this town wasn't even worthy of being called a remote village. This simply embarrassed the name of the original Sleeping Dragon City. I don't know if the owner of this town has even seen the real Sleeping Dragon city." Old Joz suddenly spoke.
Alu and the others were immediately attracted when they heard Old Joz's words.
"Hehehehe" But Old Joz only waved his hand in response.
"When you grow up, you can go on a journey to see for yourself." Said Old Joz.
"But do you know the origin of the experts who built this city?" Old Joz suddenly asked.
Alu and the others are attracted once again.
The founder of Sleeping Dragon City was one of the strongest experts in the continent of Holy Light. It was said that even the Holy Light clan was very wary of it.
However, his origin is not clearly known. Rumor has it that he actually came from another place. But there are also those who say that he still comes from the Holy Light continent, but he might spend more of his time elsewhere.
Of course, with Alu's personality, he wouldn't be interested in the origins of other people who had nothing to do with him. But since Alu currently wanted to do something big, he needed to prepare many plans in advance. And the most important thing he needs to do is gather information.
The Lord of the Sleeping Dragon City may appear to have nothing to do with Alu's plans, but that doesn't mean the information about him is completely useless.
Besides that, Alu had also heard that the lord of the Sleeping Dragon City also had a son the same age as him.
There isn't much information about the city lord's son as he is also quite secretive. Even though it didn't reach the point like Alu where not even his face was recognized, at least no one could clearly tell how strong and talented he was.
But it was certain that the son of an extremely powerful expert like the lord of Sleeping Dragon City would definitely not be mediocre. Especially when he hid his strength.
Unless he's trash who can't cultivate. But Alu didn't think so.
And Old Joz's next words let Alu know why.
"Hehehehe. This is very secret, so many don't know, but this old man still knows the truth. Actually the lorf of Sleeping Dragon City is the son of the Holy Light clan patriarch. But because of the conflict with his brother, he has left his clan." Said Old Joz.
....
Following Old Joz's words, the spiritual ship that Alu was in managed to land at the spiritual ship station which was also outside the city.
Alu and the others immediately got off their spiritual ship after it landed.
Upon arriving outside, Alu saw quite a number of spiritual ships with Kingdom crests on their hulls. Some even looked so majestic that no one dared approach them.
The young men who came out of the spiritual ships looked very proud. Even in the center of the continent where dragons and tigers were mixed, they still looked fearless as they gazed around with condescending gaze.
Although Alu didn't know which kingdom they came from, it was clear that only the Great Kingdom had such momentum.
The status of the Great Kingdom, however, was very high. Even in the Holy Light continent, there might only be around twenty factions at the level of the Great Kingdom.
But Alu doesn't care about them. After glancing at them for a moment, Alu immediately left the station along with the large crowd of people.
Outside the station there is a very wide road which is directly connected to the city below the crater.
Standing there, one could clearly see the city that was thousands of kilometers across. The majesty of Sleeping Dragon City was clearly visible from that place.
Located in the middle of the city, Alu could see a towering spiritual circle. Even though it was the first time seeing it, Alu could tell right away that it was a teleportation formation that was said to be connected to other continents.
"Come on down." Alu said when he arrived in front of the road leading to the city.
But even though Alu said that, Alu actually didn't take a step while he suddenly turned back with a wary expression.
ALU did so because he felt a gaze filled with murderous intentions have been directed at him. What made Alu even more surprised were; That gaze even made the Phoenix soul that had barely reacted all this time, suddenly tremble.
After he turned around, Alu instantly found out where the gaze had come from.
It was a figure completely covered in black robes, similar to Alu's own robe.
Of course, due to the slight indentation that could be seen, one could guess that the figure inside the robe was probably a woman.
But, even though the face of the figure was not completely covered, it was still difficult to see the figure's face clearly. It looked as if there was a black mist blocking people's view from the figure's face.
However, while the figure's face could barely be seen, the figure's eyes which were blue like an ocean could be seen clearly.
Alu was immediately stunned when he saw those blue eyes.
There may be lots of people who have blue eyes, but this blue eye is something that Alu will never be able to forget.
"It's you. I can recognize your scent." A cold female voice suddenly sounded from the black robed figure.
And after that voice, the figure immediately rushed towards Alu. A blood-red spear suddenly appeared in the woman's hand as she rushed towards Alu.
The killing aura emitted from the red spear made even Alu feel uneasy.
But Alu felt even more uncomfortable when he saw the figure's speed.
Roux and Reva who previously stood behind Alu were the first to face the figure. They immediately took out their weapons when they saw a stranger suddenly rush towards them with a spear and eyes filled with killing intent.
But even though they had prepared themselves, as the spear of the black robed figure swung towards them, they could barely even raise their weapons.
Although in the end they were still able to block the spear with their weapons, it was only when their weapons met the spear that they realized the difference in their strengths that were so great.
Clang...
Their weapons were immediately thrown away.
Bam...
The spear then struck their bodies, and the power of the spear's impact was even stronger than Alu's previous blow. They coughed up blood right then and there while their bodies were also blown away until they hit the boulder by the side of the road.
The black robed figure clearly didn't care about Roux and Reva. She didn't even stare at them. Her eyes, which were cold like glacier ice, continued to stare at Alu.
Alu found it hard to believe that gaze, but the killing intent from that gaze was something even Alu had never shown. It was a gaze where one actually decided to kill.
"Eli." Said Alu in a light voice.
But Alu didn't have time to think anymore. When the tip of the spear pointed at his face, Alu immediately took out his weapon.
A small knife appeared in Alu's hand, and Alu immediately aimed the knife towards the tip of the spear.
Clang...
Just like Roux and Reva, Alu's knife was also immediately thrown.
But unlike them, Alu managed to jump backwards while the knife was deflecting the spear attack.
"Very strong." Alu said to himself while he was still in the air.
The power of the previous attack, Alu estimated it should already be equivalent to a Life and Death stage third layer attack.
