Chapter 312: Chapter 190: Boundless Sea Region
Translator: 549690339
The battleship tore through the sky, leaving ripples in the void as it passed by.
The auxiliary warships were at the forefront, all of them Treasure Boats, with many martial artists in the Golden Body Realm and Rune Seed Realm onboard.
The Far Suppression Battleship was situated at the highest point in the deep sky, covering half of the horizon. Its majestic and powerful momentum was awe-inspiring.
Various martial academies and independent martial cultivators gathered on another Treasure Boat.
Lu Yun looked at the rapidly passing land beneath his feet, his eyes calm and unrippled.
Going to war with the Hundred Sects would set off a chain reaction, and it definitely wouldn’t end after just a few battles. They had to be prepared for long-term fighting.
For example, the Far Suppression Legion was dealing with the White Lotus Sect this time.
The White Lotus Sect was one of the more powerful sects among the Hundred Sects, with numerous subordinate sects and powers under it.
These affiliated sects and forces had both strong and weak members. When scattered, they posed little threat. But once gathered, they became an enormous force.
Therefore, the most powerful White Lotus Sect was left for the Far Suppression Legion to handle.
As for the elders and disciples of the martial academies, as well as independent martial cultivators, they were responsible for cutting off the powers of the affiliated sects of the White Lotus Sect.
“In over eight hundred years since Morigin was established, it has grown to such a scale. The Hundred Sects have an even deeper foundation, having gone through a baptism of fire and operating for so many years in the Great Wilderness… I’m afraid their strength is far more complex than we thought!”
Lu Yun felt a sense of awe in his heart.
As for the White Lotus Sect, he had some dealings with them before, but they were all peripheral members.
The only time he encountered them, he had narrowly escaped death.
So in his heart, Lu Yun still held great fear for the White Lotus Sect despite the fact that his strength had grown significantly since then.
As they ventured deeper into the Great Wilderness, the battleship turned south.
To the west was the boundless territory, with endless mountain ranges, dense forests, and vast plains. Heavenly treasures were everywhere.
However, countless Demon Beasts lurked, and dangers abounded. Even the demon-slaying army couldn’t always advance unimpeded.
To the south was the dwelling place of the Hundred Sects after being expelled from the Central Province – the Boundless Sea Region.
“This is your first time going to the Boundless Sea Region, right, Saint Child?”
A gentle voice came from behind.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yun turned his head to look at the speaker, a young man who looked about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. His cultivation was at the peak of the Origin Fluid Realm, not far from the Golden Body Realm.
What caught Lu Yun’s interest was the young man’s refined and powerful aura, revealing that his actual combat power was not as simple as his surface realm portrayed.
However, Lu Yun wasn’t surprised by this.
After all, the Flying Spirit Martial Academy had a foundation of several hundred years, and it was natural to have highly talented individuals like this young man.
Searching through his memories, Lu Yun realized that he didn’t know the young man. He had only caught a glimpse of him in the Straight Sun Hall before they had gathered.
“May I ask which Senior Brother this is?”
“I am Qiu Guyun. In front of the Saint Child, I dare not call myself a Senior Brother.” Qiu Guyun said with a faint smile.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yun smiled lightly, “So it’s Senior Brother Qiu.”
Lu Yun had heard of Qiu Guyun’s name and even seen it on the Myriad Phenomena Jade Wall.
Qiu Guyun’s ranking was not much lower than that of Qin Wuming.
However, after Lu Yun entered the Flying Spirit Martial Academy, Qiu Guyun had been traveling outside.
What puzzled him though was that he seemed to have no connection with Qiu Guyun, and it was unexpected that he would suddenly strike up a conversation with him now.
“When I returned to the Martial Academy, I heard about your victory over Qin Wuming and Gongliang Jin, and how you possess strength comparable to the late stage of the Golden Body Realm.
A martial artist who can surpass one realm is considered a genius.
Surpassing two realms makes one a Heavenly Pride.
Surpassing three realms makes one a monstrous talent.
You, Saint Child, have not only surpassed three realms but also one major realm. Even the monstrous talents in the Central Province at your realm can’t outshine you.”
Hearing this, Lu Yun remained indifferent, sensing that Qiu Guyun had more to say.
Seeing Lu Yun’s expression, Qiu Guyun continued, “With your talent and strength, given some time, you will surely become a True Master of the heavenly realm or even higher.
Every True Master or Celestial Human has a number of powerful followers and forces under them.
Though I am not very talented, I have some experience and gifts. If you don’t mind, Saint Child, I would like to become your follower.”
Lu Yun raised an eyebrow.
Becoming someone else’s follower essentially meant acknowledging that person as one’s lord.
And despite Qiu Guyun’s prestigious status as a talented martial artist from the academy, he was willing to lower himself and become Lu Yun’s follower.
It had to be said; his sincerity was deep-rooted.
However, Lu Yun had no intention of establishing a power base and had never considered recruiting followers.
“Thank you for your kind words, Senior Brother Qiu, but there’s no need to become my follower.”
Lu Yun shook his head slightly, rejecting Qiu Guyun’s proposal.
He could see that Qiu Guyun’s talent and strength were not weak. Among the numerous disciples of the Flying Spirit Martial Academy he had seen, only Qin Wuming and Gongliang Jin could surpass Qiu Guyun.
However, that was far from sufficient to convince Lu Yun to accept him as a follower. Followers should at least be able to keep up with his pace and eventually provide assistance, rather than hold him back.
Moreover, he truly had no interest in that side of things, especially after coming out of the fourth floor of the Book Collection Pavilion.
In the end, Morigin was not a place where he intended to stay for long.
Simply put, Lu Yun just didn’t think highly enough of the talents and strength of the people in the Flying Spirit Martial Academy.
Even Gu Yuan, with his Level 8 Innate Talent, would be unable to keep up with his pace.
Having been rejected after offering to become a follower, Qiu Guyun’s face showed a hint of disappointment.
He not only possessed noteworthy talent and strength but also had a grasp of some Qi Observation Techniques..
