Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 693: Flying

‘Fly—I can fly now?’

This was the first thought that Mao Jianbi had. Nonetheless, he soon realized that it was not him, but the sheet of fur was flying.

Mao Jianbi flashed and walked 2 rounds on the flying carpet at lightning speed.

Other than the middle of the carpet, the bottom and the edges were covered with 100 over feathers, causing it to have a distinctive look.

To put it nicely, it was an ingenious artwork; to put it harshly, it was a weird artwork.

Even so, Mao Jianbi did not have too high of a demand for a flying carpet’s outer appearance. In fact, he never imagined having one before.

One could not even think about having a flying carpet when one was still a Spiritualist. Now that a flying carpet was right beneath the great elder, not to mention that it looked odd, even if it was 10 times uglier, he would not have minded because he did not have any other choice.

“It-it’s flying?”

“What’s that?”

“Oh god! A flying carpet! That’s a flying carpet!”

“Ah, is that a legendary piece of flight equipment?”

“Where did that fella get that from?”

The crowd below was dumbfounded and in disbelief.

After all, other than the Birds, which had wings, most of the other living beings would not be able to fly at all. Other than that, only Venerable Ones could fly in the sky. Moreover, pieces of flight equipment were so rare that the other people could not dream about having them at all.

Therefore, the crowd was deeply in awe when they saw the flying carpet rising into the sky. They were more shocked than when they saw the Interspatial Spiritual Tree.

The Interspatial Spiritual Tree was also extremely valuable, but how could the visual impact that it gave be mentioned on equal terms with that given by a piece of flight equipment?

Bear Li also widened its eyes. It could not help but stand up, and its small eyes looked fiery. Even though it was at the Beast King Sect, it had the urge to take forcible possession of the carpet.

Ou Yangming controlled the flying carpet to rise slowly. They were in the real world, after all, hence he needed to take things seriously.

Mao Jianbi finally stopped and asked, “This is a flying carpet?”

‘You don’t say. If this isn’t a flying carpet, can it fly?’ Ou Yangming twitched his mouth and thought. Nevertheless, he treated the powerful cultivator, who had the potential to become a Venerable One, with respect. “Senior, this is a flying carpet indeed.”

Mao Jianbi flushed as though he realized that he had just asked a dumb question.

Despite that, after living for such a long time, he had gone through enough to be incredibly thick-faced. He cleared his throat and raised another question as he recalled something, “Lil’ brother, did you say that you refined this flying carpet?”

His voice trembled a little when he asked because he immediately thought about the unimaginable interest that would be involved.

He was certain that as long as Ou Yangming was willing to sell the flying carpet, there would be a sensation among all of the powerhouses in Danzhou. Not to mention top-grade Spiritualists, even Venerable Ones would not mind bidding for it.

Not every Venerable One possessed a piece of flight equipment. In actuality, less than a tenth of them owned one.

Ou Yangming chuckled and answered, “Senior, I smithed this flying carpet indeed.”

Mao Jianbi nodded. Countless thoughts crossed his mind.

The flying carpet continued to fly until everyone else could only see a tiny black spot in the sky.

“Is this the highest that the flying carpet can go?” Mao Jianbi was stunned.

“The flying carpet can still go higher, but I think that this is enough,” Ou Yangming responded in a deep voice, “This is also my first time controlling a flying market, so it’ll be easier for us to react to any sudden situation from this height.”

“This is your first time controlling one...” Mao Jianbi’s face twitched. He looked down at the tiny people, who looked like ants, below them, then he nodded and remarked, “This should be a decent height.”

Ou Yangming grinned. “I’ll test its flight speed now to see how fast it can go.”

With that, enormous spiritual power was channeled into the flying carpet without an end. Due to the spiritual power, the carpet slowly drifted. It advanced slowly at first, but it took only a split second before it turned into a flying arrow and flew forward quickly as if it had been wound up.

The vultures’ feathers around the flying carpet stood up on their ends and formed a peculiar yet charming image in mid-air.

Invisible energies surged among the feathers as the runes that were carved on them slowly unleashed their effects.

Ou Yangming was carrying out a test. Once the flying carpet accelerated to a certain speed, he did not need to use his spiritual power as the driving energy anymore. At this height, certain energies could be obtained through the coordination of a formation map between the feathers.

Perhaps the energies would not be able to support the flying carpet’s full flight, but if the flight maintained at this speed without any change in the direction, any Spiritualist’s power would be sufficient to control the carpet.

Ou Yangming had actually customized the flying carpet for himself.

A Spiritualist’s power was far from that of a Venerable One. Even if he obtained Yuqi the Venerable One’s flying carpet by luck, he would not be able to maneuver it for a long time due to his incapability.

On the other hand, the flying carpet beneath him was inferior in terms of its outer appearance and speed, but its endurance was not poor at all. Most importantly, even an ordinary Rudimentary Spiritualist would be able to use it.

The change would be meaningless to Yuqi the Venerable One, but it was great news for a Spiritualist.

When the flying carpet sped up and reached a speed that satisfied Mao Jianbi as well, Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and relaxed.

Mao Jianbi looked at him and asked, “Lil’ brother, are you tired or lacking spiritual power? Why don’t I take over?”

They had flown past several mountains by now and had gone far from the auction’s venue, but Mao Jianbi did not intend to turn back at all.

Ou Yangming waved his hand and answered, “Senior, I’m not exhausted at all.”

“Ah, how can you not be? One needs to consume plenty of mental power and spiritual power to control a flying carpet. Since you’ve controlled it for such a long time, it should be my turn now.” Mao Jianbi widened his eyes and uttered, “My turn! My turn!”

The young fellow was hesitant. He could see from Mao Jianbi’s eyes that there was no room for discussion.

“Okay, senior, I’ll hand it over to you.”

It was easy to hand over the control over the flying carpet. As long as one sat at the center of the rune in the middle, one could control the carpet with one’s spiritual power.

This was the first flying carpet refined by Ou Yangming, thus no password was set at all. As such, anyone with sufficient spiritual power could maneuver it.

Even after Ou Yangming moved away from the center, the flying carpet could continue to fly because his spiritual power had not dispersed. Having said that, the carpet would fall from the sky if it was not replenished with spiritual power within a short time.

Mao Jiangbi swayed and sat at the center of the Rune Formation Map almost the instant after Ou Yangming got out of the spot.

Following that, he released his spiritual power and replaced the young fellow to control the carpet.

He did everything so smoothly as if he had practiced numerous times before this.

Ou Yangming looked strangely at Mao Jianbi. He noticed how elated the great elder was.

The young fellow frowned and found it weird. Judging from Mao Jianbi’s identity and how he acted earlier, it did not seem like he had not flown in the sky before, but the way he behaved somehow surprised Ou Yangming as he seemed to be overly excited.

However, Ou Yangming never thought that the experience of flying in the sky was entirely different from controlling a piece of flight equipment.

As the Beast King Sect’s great elder, Mao Jianbi had indeed flown in the sky on a giant flying beast. In fact, disciples from the sect could also ride ordinary half-spirit beasts to fly in the sky. Nonetheless, could birds be mentioned on equal terms with flying carpets?

Especially since flying carpets could be controlled as one wished, the experience would be different from riding birds in the sky.

As for Ou Yangming... Given that he refined the flying carpet himself, after having the first experience, would he be far from refining the second or third flying carpet?

Therefore, Ou Yangming did not attach too much importance to this flying carpet.

With bright eyes, Mao Jianbi released his spiritual power. He did not simply control it, but he completely relaxed and became immersed in mastering the process.

Yes, instead of just controlling it, he was trying to master it.

They sounded similar, but their actual effects were very different.

Ou Yangming looked at Mao Jianbi in astonishment, and he could not understand why the great elder was persistent in flying. He rolled his eyes and wondered, ‘Is riding a flying carpet mysteriously connected to his cultivation?’

He let go of his mind and observed the great elder closely.

Sure enough, he noticed something queer on Mao Jianbi’s body after a brief moment.

The whole flying carpet was covered with Mao Jianbi’s aura as his spiritual power filled every corner.

Much more spiritual power would be consumed, so much so that it was beyond one’s imagination. If Ou Yangming had done the same, he would have been worn out in the blink of an eye.

Normally, there was no need for one to work so hard to control a flying carpet; less than a tenth of one’s power would be required.

The flying carpet was not flying fast at this moment, but Mao Jianbi shut his eyes as though he was comprehending something on the carpet.

Ou Yangming was dazed, and he wondered, ‘Can a flying carpet do this too?’
