Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

Inhale the pure and exhale the impure, nourish your breath and absorb the vital energy.

Cheng Xiao sat in meditation in the room, closing his eyes to contemplate.

Sunlight streamed through the window paper, casting a hazy glow on him. Upon closer inspection, one could see a layer of green light covering Cheng Xiao.

Cheng Xiao finished his practice and opened his eyes; the faint green light vanished instantly.

This is the magic of air!

Cheng Xiao didn't have his father's talent, and it took him five years to cultivate this little bit of magic.

What his father gave Chengxiao was the seed of magic, but whether that seed could grow into a towering tree within his body depended on Chengxiao himself.

It will take more time to become a great mage like my father.

But the one thing Cheng Xiao has in abundance is time.

The only thing Cheng Xiao is lacking now is the technique.

Cheng Xiao now possesses magical power, but lacks the magical incantation to unleash its power.

The mysteries and techniques of magic are endless; there are so many that even my father has to consult ancient books from time to time.

Although his father left behind cultivation experience and simple spells, Cheng Xiao still had to study the more powerful spells himself.

Fortunately, I still remember some of the distinctive features of the spell "Riding the Wind," but more experiments are needed to figure out how to replicate it.

Magic originates from within; the strong seek power within.

When magic is applied to the body, the body becomes lighter and the senses are greatly enhanced!

When the magic power is released, it is as if a new arm grows out of thin air!

This experience was so novel that they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

It only lasted for ten minutes before its magic power was exhausted; it was far too short.

Cheng Xiao now spends his days exercising and meditating, day after day.

To his surprise, the power of magic could be drawn from nature for cultivation.

The vegetation on the fairy boat is full of vigorous vitality, and its natural energy is even more exaggerated!

But Cheng Xiao glanced into the distance with a hint of unease.

That place is where the Jianmu tree is located.

His own Qi magic resonated with the [Jianmu]!

A life force beyond comprehension was gathering in the distance, and Cheng Xiao felt his magical power increase significantly after only a slight perception.

This was all thanks to the magic array his father had engraved on his chest; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to absorb such a massive amount of energy.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Cheng Xiao did not dabble in Jianmu.

One's own self-cultivation is the most fundamental thing.

I checked the time; it was already noon.

Cheng Xiao put on his shoes, pushed open the door, and went out. Faint sounds of collisions came from the backyard.

Without thinking much, Cheng Xiao tied on her apron and prepared to cook.

This is his daily routine.

In the backyard, the Mirror Stream Sword Shadows frantically attacked a boulder.

The rock was enormous, but it bore only one sword mark.

No matter how Jingliu swung his sword, there was no damage anywhere else; only this sword mark was getting deeper and deeper!

Finally, a crisp sound was heard, and the sword mark had pierced through the rock.

Mirror Stream can now see the scenery on the other side through the sword marks.

This is about concentrating your efforts on one point and attacking it directly.

Only in this way can we avoid dispersing our strength and thus break through the surface with a single point!

The aroma of the food suddenly wafted to Jingliu's nose, making her involuntarily twitch her delicate nose.

So she immediately sheathed her sword and ran to the kitchen.

It's lunchtime!

......

Inside the Shence Mansion.

Teng Xiao looked at Cheng Xiao and Jing Liu, who were dressed neatly.

"Yaofeng has entrusted you to me for the time being, you should understand, right?"

"Yes, Master has already explained."

"Great! I'll make the arrangements then."

Teng Xiao took out a roster.

"The Cloud Cavalry is the armed force of our Celestial Ship! We are committed to eradicating the abundant evils and cleansing the immortal pollution from the starry sea!"

"Now that you are part of the Cloud Cavalry, you must naturally take up your spears and go into battle! Advance and retreat alongside the rest of the army!"

Both Cheng Xiao and Jing Liu waited solemnly.

Then Teng Xiao, holding the roster, explained:

"The Luofu Cloud Cavalry is divided into four major fleets: [Chuihong Guard], [Chunting Guard], [Bifang Guard], and [Chanqiang Guard]."

"Mirror Flow, your swordsmanship is superb; you may join the [Hanging Rainbow Guard] as a soldier."

"Based on your previous military achievements on the battlefield, you could have been promoted three ranks directly. However, given that your unit does not command respect, your military achievements will be temporarily accumulated. If you achieve something within five years, I will promote you to [Hanging Rainbow Guard]!"

The Cloud Cavalry's ranks are divided into General, Valiant Guard, Soldier, Strategist, and Treasurer.

The valiant guards were high-ranking officers in the fleet, commanding soldiers and reporting directly to the general.

The strategist is a brilliant strategist, responsible for devising plans and implementing strategies.

The treasurer was in charge of logistics and military supplies, serving as the backbone of the entire Yunqi Army.

Titles such as "Sword Master" and "Flying General" are originally used to refer to the strongest cloud-riding swordsmen and flying warriors.

These titles and ranks are established independently and are generally not subject to the jurisdiction of anyone other than generals.

Jingliu doesn't care where he takes a position, as long as he can improve his swordsmanship and defeat his enemies.

Teng Xiao nodded and wrote Jing Liu's name on the roster.

Then he said to Cheng Xiao:

"Cheng Xiao! Exceptionally talented and with a wide range of interests! Given his special abilities, he will be temporarily assigned to the Pill Refining Department!"

"well?"

Jingliu and Chengxiao were both stunned for a moment.

"What? Is there a problem with my arrangements?"

Cheng Xiao asked:

"General, I am also capable of fighting on the battlefield. Wouldn't it be a waste of my talents to go to the Pill Refining Department?"

"Hahaha! You're really praising yourself!"

Jingliu panicked too; she had never imagined she would be separated from Chengxiao.

"General! Cheng Xiao and I have fought side by side since we were children! How can we be separated so easily! The two of us will surely be even stronger!"

Teng Xiao waved his hand:

"You don't need to worry, I naturally know your past records."

"Don't worry, it would be a waste of Cheng Xiao's talents to make him a pill refiner or a physician. Apart from the people from outside the region who seek medical treatment, the people of the Immortal Ship have already escaped the three sufferings of old age, sickness, and death. Only congenital diseases, demonic bodies, and the pollution of one's destiny need to be taken seriously."

"I let Cheng Xiao join the Pill Refining Department so that he could learn more. That's what Yao Feng said. Cheng Xiao is a polymath! At the same time, I will make him an army doctor, so he can naturally be with you."

"Within the Dan Ding Division, one-third of the physicians are required to serve as military doctors, and during major battles, the entire Dan Ding Division must be on standby!"

Upon hearing this, Jingliu finally calmed down.

"But don't get too excited yet! As human beings, the first thing we must learn is independence! So there will definitely be times when you have to separate temporarily!"

Without Teng Xiao saying anything more, Jing Liu never dared to hope that he could stay with Cheng Xiao forever.

She just didn't want that moment to come too soon. At least Jingliu was only fifteen years old, and she could still be willful for a few more years.

"Alright, here are your official documents. Report to your respective areas now!"

Teng Xiao waved them away, but the real important thing was yet to come.

Luofu's current focus is on using the Jianmu tree as bait to lure out its enemies who covet it.

Suddenly, this envoy of abundance has committed heinous crimes! Teng Xiao's primary target is to deal with him!

He has already contacted the Jade Palace Immortal Ship to help deduce and observe its movements, and the Luofu route will focus on hunting down the swift creature.

And the vanguard was Yao Feng.
