Sword Rises in the Blue Lagoon, Why Are All the Sword Cultivation Families Older Than Old Six?

This time, the people leading the Canglan Palace to the Dao Palace were Ji Wushang, Luo Tianyi, and Xuan Xiaozi. Jian Wuya had already been overlooked.

Ji Wushang took the lead and arrived outside the mountain gate of Canglan Palace. Outside the mountain gate, there was a bronze-colored flying boat in the sky, majestic as a mountain, stretching across the horizon, like a sleeping ancient behemoth, now slowly awakening. The boat was thousands of feet long, its body gleaming with a simple and unadorned bronze luster, as if it had been baptized by countless years, yet still exuding a palpitating majesty. The surface of the flying boat was engraved with complex runes, each pattern seeming to contain the power of heaven and earth, with a faint spiritual light flowing, as if telling the story of Canglan Palace's glory.

At the bow of the flying boat, a huge dragon head was carved, its dragon eyes like torches, and its dragon whiskers fluttering, as if it would break through the sky at any time and soar straight into the sky. At the stern was a pair of unfolded wings, inlaid with countless spirit stones, shimmering with brilliant light, as if they could tear through the void and travel between heaven and earth. On both sides of the flying boat, dozens of huge spirit cannons were arranged, the muzzles deep and exuding a palpitating pressure, as if they could erupt with the power to destroy the world at any time.

On the deck of the flying boat, there stood several towering pavilions, with flying eaves and carved beams and painted pillars, like aerial palaces. Between the pavilions, clouds and mist lingered, and spirit birds flew, like a fairyland.

Ji Wushang flashed onto the flying boat and found a group of young men and women standing on the front deck. The leading young man said, "Palace Master, don't you mind us taking your flying boat!"

Ji Wushang said, "Where are you going? It is our honor to have you here." These people were the five sword cultivators of the Ye family who planned to go to the Dao Palace together, Ye Qihao, Ye Qiwu, Ye Qimeng, Ye Qizhi, and Ye Qiguang, along with their followers, to see the geniuses of the Eastern Region. But who would really know what they were thinking?

Afterwards, Luo Tianyi and Xuan Xiaozi also arrived on the flying boat and nodded to them as a greeting. As everyone came to the flying boat, except for Xiao Chen and a few others who knew their identities, no one else knew who they were, and thought they were the same as them, people who were going to participate in the competition.

Just as the flying boat was about to start, a voice reached everyone's ears: "Brother Hao, don't leave us behind."

Immediately, two figures, one fat and one thin, clung to the side of the flying boat. The fat man smiled honestly, and the thin man's eyes rolled around, looking at the people on the flying boat. Ye Qihao said, "I thought you two weren't planning to go this time."

These two people were Er Gouzi and Ji De, who had just emerged from seclusion. After being cultivated with a large amount of resources from Ye Qihao and Ye Qiwu, and with Ye Xuan requesting a spot in the Chaos Dao Tower for the two of them, their cultivation had also reached the quasi-emperor realm. The rest of the people on the flying boat recognized them and began to disperse.

The two came to Ye Qihao and Ye Qiwu, and Er Gouzi smiled obsequiously: "How could we? We won't forget the spirit of our team."

Er Gouzi and Ji De were about to salute the other sword cultivators, but Ye Qihao stopped them with a look. Smart people understood at a glance, and besides, they were still a team.

When the flying boat slowly rose into the air, the world seemed to tremble for it. The surrounding clouds and mist were stirred by the huge airflow, forming whirlpools. The speed of the flying boat gradually increased, and finally turned into a bronze streamer, piercing the sky and heading towards the Dao Palace. That momentum seemed to tear the sky and shake the earth, causing the cultivators on the ground to stop and look up.

A woman's voice faintly lingered in the void, "Brother Hao, Brother Wu, I also want to join your team, can I?"

In the end, only laughter was left in the void…

It would take more than four months to reach the Dao Palace on this journey. Along the way, in addition to cultivation, the disciples also had a lot of fun.

One night, the flying boat stopped above a peaceful sea of clouds, and everyone gathered on the deck, looking up at the starry sky. An elder pointed to the stars in the sky and explained the mysteries of astrology to everyone. He said: "The operation of the stars contains the principles of heaven and earth. Those who practice should take heaven and earth as their teachers and comprehend the way of nature." After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought, as if they had a deeper understanding of cultivation.

On another night, the disciples on the flying boat sat around on the deck and began a "Flying Boat Night Talk." Everyone took turns telling their own cultivation experiences, interesting stories they encountered, and even some disciples shared embarrassing things from their childhood. Laughter and applause rose and fell, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. One disciple talked about how he fell off his sword the first time he flew with a sword because he was nervous, and was caught by a passing spirit crane, which made everyone laugh.

After Ye Qiwu and others, who happened to be passing by, heard this, they looked at each other in dismay. They sighed that everything came from the ordinary?

On the way to the Dao Palace, the flying boat was suddenly stopped by a group of cultivators of unknown identity. The other party was aggressive, seemingly intending to provoke. Ji Wushang calmly sent a few leading elders to negotiate with the other party. After some communication, they found out that the other party had mistakenly thought that the Canglan Palace's flying boat was a ship of an enemy force. After the misunderstanding was resolved, the flying boat continued to move forward.

After a long journey, the flying boat finally arrived at the Dao Palace. Looking from afar, the Dao Palace stood in a spiritual mountain, the palace majestic and imposing. The flying boat slowly landed, and the disciples of Canglan Palace lined up neatly, their momentum like a rainbow. The Palace Master stood at the bow of the boat, his eyes firm, and said to everyone: "The Eastern Region Competition is a stage for us to show our strength. No matter what the outcome, we must face the challenge with the most high-spirited posture!"

At this time, Xiao Chen's face was a little dignified. Finally, he came to Xiao Chen's side, patted him on the shoulder and said: "No need to worry, just participate in the competition, leave the rest to me." After saying that, he got off the flying boat, and then everyone followed and got off the flying boat. Below was the venue for this competition.

Yunxiao City covers an area of thousands of miles, and the city has all kinds of facilities. In order to host this competition, the Dao Palace also renovated the city, with towering city walls and towers covered with dense runes. The city is full of white jade pavilions and golden tiles. There are figures of cultivators everywhere, a scene of prosperity.

Ji Wushang and others came to the garrison specially prepared for the major sects. The disciples did not stay for too long and went to Yunxiao City to familiarize themselves with the venue.

Except for Ye Qiguang, the rest of the Ye family's sword cultivators had already disappeared when the flying boat first arrived here. In addition to seeing the Eastern Region Competition, they wanted to do something themselves, so they went out to inquire about news as soon as they arrived here. As for Ye Qizhi, everyone knew his character, he liked to pretend. He was not in the same team as Ye Qihao and others.

So, he went out to have fun by himself.

Ten days later, at the Canglan Palace garrison in Yunxiao City, a Dao Palace disciple invited Ji Wushang to the council hall for this Eastern Region Competition. After Ji Wushang inquired, the leaders of the other eight major forces were also invited.
