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

罅 (xiā, fourth tone)

Following the incident of Su Hu, the celestial generals of the Immortal Ship reached a conclusion regarding its ultimate purpose.

The most serious consequence is the speculation surrounding Luofu [Jianmu].

Each immortal ship is taking the results of this calculation very seriously. Currently, the routes of the four immortal ships, namely [Luofu], [Zhuming], [Fanghu], and [Yuque], remain within ten light-years.

In the event of an accident, the other three celestial ships can respond immediately.

Under this mutually supportive structure, no abnormalities occurred for the next two hundred years.

In just two hundred years, Jingliu has become famous within the Cloud Cavalry!

She has fought her way up from small battles to where she is now, and is almost invincible.

Over the past two hundred years, Jingliu has encountered countless enemies.

The Winged Ones' Feather Guards, the Nest Fathers of the Bu Li, the Iron Hoofs of the Houyhnhnms, and other formidable enemies—none of these scoundrels escaped the sword of the Mirror Stream, whether they died or were defeated.

However, Jingliu still knew that she had not reached her peak, and she vaguely felt that her body was being constrained and troubled by something.

Through the medical book given to him by Cheng Xiao, he learned that it must be a shackle from the demonic yin.

However, if one truly breaks free from this predicament, then being a member of the Immortal Ship would mean falling into demonic darkness.

Will Jingliu still be himself at that time? Or will he be a monster devoured by abundance?

Jingliu didn't understand, and neither did Chengxiao, so Jingliu now needed to find other ways to break free of these shackles.

Perhaps a catalyst is needed, but Jingliu is not in a hurry. After all, no matter how quickly time flies, there are always people he cherishes by his side.

For those who are immortal, there is always a certain slowness in their mind and a lack of urgency in their actions.

With this mindset, Jingliu spends his days practicing swordsmanship, chatting with his master, and accompanying Cheng Xiao, a simple routine he follows day after day.

Jingliu also earned a reputation within the Cloud Cavalry Army, known as "Flying Light Without Gaps".

In fact, this is the sword technique that Jingliu himself comprehended. His sword is as fast as a flash of light, and it is even more powerful under the reflection of the waxing and waning moon, as if time has been cut away and it is imperceptible!

Furthermore, with Yao Feng still staying on the Jade Palace Immortal Ship and not yet returning, many in the army are already discussing the timing of Jing Liu's succession to the position of Sword Master.

However, none of this has anything to do with Jingliu. Things will work themselves out, and she doesn't care about external statements.

On the contrary, Cheng Xiao was a bit of a concern for her, because she always felt that Cheng Xiao and Xian Zhou were somewhat out of place.

This unusual behavior doesn't mean that Cheng Xiao and Xian Zhou have any disagreements, but rather that Cheng Xiao's temperament has changed very quickly.

It seems that... Cheng Xiao is already an old man who is calm and composed in the face of adversity, but at times he is like a young man in the prime of his youth!

This situation made Jingliu very curious. What exactly happened to Chengxiao?

Looking towards Cheng Xiao, he and Yun Hua were already renowned medical experts in the Dan Ding Division.

Two hundred years may not be a long time for the people of Xianzhou, but the development of medical skills is very rapid.

Because Cheng Xiao is very proactive in promoting medical research and development.

After all, Cheng Xiao is not a long-lived species in essence, and his mentality is no different from that of a short-lived species, so he is very enthusiastic about the development of technology.

Two hundred years is a very long time for Cheng Xiao; for him, it is equivalent to living two lifetimes.

That's why Cheng Xiao shows a more urgent personality than others, wanting to make the most of every minute to improve.

At the same time, Cheng Xiao's heart and temperament are becoming more and more like those of an old man in his twilight years, and even his speech carries the kindness of an elder.

However, due to the existence of the [Dog] talisman, Cheng Xiao's physical functions and mental state were forever frozen at the age of twenty-four.

No matter how much time has passed, Cheng Xiao's physical activity has always remained youthful, and so has his mindset.

He can freely switch between these states, and it is precisely because of this that Cheng Xiao's spirit will not be worn down by two hundred years.

During this time, Yun Shu also retired happily, and Yun Hua naturally took on the role of the new head of the Dan Ding Division.

With her reputation alongside Cheng Xiao, Yun Hua's appointment was very easy, and no one obstructed or objected.

Now, apart from the Demonic Yin Body which cannot be truly resolved, all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases are no longer major problems in the Alchemy Department.

Two hundred years have allowed the Dan Ding Division to regain its footing in Luofu, and it is no longer a department that no one cares about.

Other immortal ships also sent people to Luofu to learn from Yunhua about the medicinal formulas and elixir recipes they had developed.

Yunhua also wrote a medical book called "Six Channels and Three Meridians," co-authored by Cheng Xiao and Yunhua.

This medical technique is also revered as a miraculous book for delaying the demonic possession, and is one of the two men's greatest masterpieces.

Unlike Yunhua, who stays in Luofu, Chengxiao needs to follow Jingliu on expeditions.

Therefore, he came into contact with the corpses of many bountiful creatures and studied their various characteristics and knowledge.

With abundant materials, there's no need to worry about consumption; Cheng Xiao can experiment to the best of his ability.

Some people advised him that there was no need to rush, that the people of Xianzhou had plenty of time and could take their time.

But Cheng Xiao retorted:

"No accident waits for anyone. Precisely because we have more time, we can use that time to uncover more secrets, instead of being like short-lived species, possessing wisdom but left with regrets due to lifespan limitations!"

"Every single medicine I develop today can prevent a single casualty from happening again in the future!"

This argument is admirable, and many people say that Cheng Xiao's mentality is similar to that of short-lived species; although they do not agree with it, they can understand it.

No wonder the Dan Ding Si was able to regain its former glory in two hundred years!

After getting off work, Cheng Xiao goes home to feed the chickens and ducks, then cooks and makes soup while waiting for Jing Liu to return.

While waiting, he took out the jade tablet and chatted with his master, telling him about his recent situation.

Yao Feng was extremely pleased to learn that Jing Liu had acquired the title of "Flying Light Without Gap," realizing that his disciple was indeed exceptionally talented!

Perhaps in another hundred years I will be able to surpass myself!

Cheng Xiao also witnessed Jing Liu's growth, and the speed of his growth was truly astonishing!

In the midst of the chaotic battle, she charged into the enemy ranks with just one sword, piercing them through!

Her blade was so powerful that no one could keep up with her. Her fellow Cloud Cavalry members could only provide support from behind, which was to make room for the strong.

But only Jingliu knew that there was always a figure watching over him by his side, and that was Cheng Xiao!

No matter how powerful she becomes, Cheng Xiao will always be by her side; she is never alone.

On the contrary, because she had never tested Cheng Xiao's limits, she always believed that Cheng Xiao was stronger than herself!

So she never stopped pursuing her goals!

Even if everyone calls her the "Flying Light Without Gaps," which is unparalleled in a thousand years, it is just a beautiful name.

She wanted to cut down the stars in the sky, but her sword was still not enough!

She wanted to cut down all her enemies, but her sword was still not sharp enough!
