The Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon raced through the void at extre speed.
Silver lines intermittently erged beneath the dark curtain.
The lower half of the Travelling Dragon's body shimred with a bloody shadow, the handiwork of the Blood Shadow Cave Master.
Suddenly, it was broad daylight ahead, and in the next mont, the Travelling Dragon erged from the void into the real world.
Sun Lingtong dared not be careless, continuously steering the Travelling Dragon into the dense forest.
After moving for most of the day, he finally stopped.
"That was close, incredibly thrilling!" Sun Lingtong licked his lips, his heartbeat gradually slowing.
He looked down at his hands.
Half of his palm had turned to stone skin, just like the appearance of the stone ball at the bottom of the cave.
Sun Lingtong clenched his teeth, his only option to continue suppressing it with Mana and then to control the chanical Dragon to check on Ning Zhuo's condition.
Upon seeing Ning Zhuo unconscious on the ground but still breathing, Sun Lingtong's eyes reddened, wishing he could slap himself twice.
"I took risks alone for a thrill, and that was one thing,"
"but this ti, I ended up dragging Little Zhuo into this, ah, how could I be so foolish? I truly deserve a beating!"
Sun Lingtong was especially self-critical, but in his current state, he dared not rashly approach Ning Zhuo.
Fortunately, Sun Lingtong also had considerable skill in chanics. Imdiately, he took out a chanical Puppet, controlled it with his Divine Sense to indirectly make contact with Ning Zhuo, helping him to quickly co to.
After waking up and learning they had escaped danger, Ning Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, his heart filled with fear.
Sun Lingtong sighed and said, "Little Zhuo, I dragged you into this and almost cost you your life."
Ning Zhuo shook his head, "Boss, I was worried about your injury and was also eager to seek revenge against the Six Cave Sect, so I did not stop you from taking risks. It's my fault too!"
"How are your injuries now?"
Sun Lingtong inford Ning Zhuo truthfully.
He shrugged his shoulders, grinding his teeth, "I initially wanted to follow the lead and find out information about the Old Monster in Stone. I didn't expect that they would be able to detect the Travelling Dragon!"
He was so angry he wanted to slap his head.
Thinking back now, what happened?
His love for thrilling excitent was inherent, but before this, he had been too thoughtless.
"Is it because I lived too comfortably in Fire Persimmon Immortal City, and let my guard down?"
"Ah, my own troubles are one thing, but if Little Zhuo had been implicated..."
"He has Immortal Aptitude, a promising future, painstakingly laid plans for over a decade, was just starting to do well, and has family, friends, and even a Female Cultivator's affection. Unlike , a loner; if he were to die here because of ..."
Sun Lingtong's heart was filled with guilt, he silently resolved to never take such risks whenever Ning Zhuo was around.
This escape experience profoundly touched Sun Lingtong's heart.
During the process, Ning Zhuo was indeed implicated by Sun Lingtong. If Ning Zhuo had been in the Dragon Head Cabin and discovered the stone ball at the cave's bottom, he certainly wouldn't have rushed to mine it like Sun Lingtong had.
However, Ning Zhuo was used to it.
In Fire Persimmon Immortal City, he had many tis helped Sun Lingtong escape from jail.
Their deep friendship was not only evident in life-or-death situations, where one could trust the other with their back without any hesitation, but went a step further—even if one made a mistake, the other would easily forgive and even cover for them.
Ning Zhuo then comforted Sun Lingtong, "Although Nascent Soul Cultivators can travel through the void, they can only do so by relying on their Nascent Souls, making it difficult to bring along their physical bodies."
Therefore, the difficulty of thoroughly killing a Nascent Soul Cultivator is quite high. Once their physical body is destroyed, their Nascent Soul can escape from their body, enter the void, look for opportunities to possess another, and seek revenge.
"The Travelling Dragon can take us through the void together, even if those Nascent Soul Cultivators want to pursue us, they won't likely bring out their Nascent Souls, separating from their bodies to chase us at the risk of their lives."
A Cultivator's Nascent Soul is the culmination of one's cultivation and dictates one's future path, extraordinarily important and not to be risked lightly unless absolutely necessary.
"Because of this, we ventured into the Six Cave Sect to explore, didn't we?"
"Our successful escape also proves this point. If the Demon Heart Cave Master truly wanted to abandon his body to chase us using his Nascent Soul, the other two Cave Masters would likely seize his body."
"Boss."
"We also gained a lot from this experience."
"For example, I saw the chanical Car that my mother used to ride, and now I know that Lin You will get it. I must surely take it back!"
"Without this adventure, how could I have known such important news?"
Sun Lingtong shook his head and spoke through the puppet, "Little Zhuo, you needn't comfort .
"Our losses are not small.
"The Travelling Dragon was attacked by the Demon Heart Cave Master before, and about thirty percent of it needs repairs."
"The latter half of the chanical Dragon Body has been infiltrated by Blood Shadow. This must be a tracking thod by the Blood Shadow Cave Master. If we cannot eliminate it, our proximity to Thousand Peak Forest in the future will alert him."
Ning Zhuo shook his head, slowly sitting up, "None of these matter, Boss.
"The most urgent matter is to deal with your injury."
"Little Zhuo..." Even though Sun Lingtong and Ning Zhuo had been together for over a decade, he still felt a warm current in his heart at this mont.
Sun Lingtong, "But now, the chanical Dragon cannot approach Thousand Peak Forest. If we go alone, relying on our cultivation and combat power, it's unlikely we could penetrate deep into Thousand Peak Forest. After all, a great battle is about to start, and Thousand Peak Forest is now heavily guarded. With our foreign appearances, we would be very conspicuous."
Ning Zhuo smiled, "Don't worry, Boss, I've already thought of a way."
