{Teacher, if this technique wasn't able to hold on against you then what's the use of practicing it?} Rex said in a dissatisfied tone.
{Brat, whether it is Sky grade technique or Saint grade techniques, they don't have subgrades and their power completely depends on user's compatibility and understanding. He failed to bring out the real power of the technique doesn't mean you will end up the same way. I have chosen this technique for you after a lot of thinking.
And I am only giving you this to comprehend it and not for practice, this technique is dangerous, if you are not careful you can even cripple your hands, just study it and even if you practice it by chance then do not use a lot of Qi,} Zakiya warned him.
Rex thought about it then nodded.
{Good, finish your trip early and come back, I don't have much time here to teach you,} Zakiya said. If it wasn't for Rex to go on a trip to get some material for making the prototype of the Ancient Teleportation Portal then she wouldn't have even allowed it. She was actually very interested in it.
Rex nodded then signaled others to follow him as he walked out of the door.
Zakiya didn't move, she was still standing in her place. She looked at the fading back of Rex then flicked her fingers, suddenly a part of her shadow separated itself and dashed towards Rex with a lightning speed, in less than a second it got mixed with his shadow.
Rex's steps halted, he turned to look back at Zakiya then thinking of something he resumed walking and left the castle.
"It's all right, you guys don't need to follow us anymore," Rex said after leaving the castle.
These words were for Lucia, Little Aru, and the three old men.
Rex slightly nodded at Lucia, he then gently smiled at Little Aru and gave a look full of pity to the old men trio.
Their number won't get reduced by the time I come back, right? Rex thought as he switched glanced between Little Aru and the old men trio.
He then flew away with Lerna, Ye Tian Clone, Mr. Black, and Jiang Shuang to the Eastern transmission array and appeared in Corentis.
Mr. Black cannot fly but Telekinesis could make him fly.
They didn't stop after arriving at Corentis and directly headed to the main city gate.
When they were near enough, Rex saw Jiang Qing and Tang Xuan chatting on the side.
At the moment Tang Xuan was wearing a black bracelet which had a chain attached to it, the attractive thing wasn't the bracelet or chain but the object the other end of the chain was attached to, it was a black cuboidal box of around one-meter length.
Rex knew about it, this was a space box, a normal storage ring has very limited space so the need for more space gave birth to the invention of a space box. Space box has a much larger space inside compared to a storage ring, they are rare and expensive but they have a downside, they cannot be stored in a storage ring and needs to be carried.
On the other hand, Jiang Qing looked more cheerful today, she even came here way before than others. Rex guessed she was the type who likes traveling and exploring new places.
"To think Master Rex and Master Ye came together this time," A familiar voice came from the side.
Rex traced back the voice and saw Sung Lee coming towards him with his two sect ancestors. Two women in the blue-white dress were also following them from behind. Rex recognized one of them who had a veil covering her face, she was Ji Biyu as for the other one, he could easily tell that she was her sect's ancestor Baozhai without even using appraisal.
His first impression of Ji Baozhai told him that she was… an arrogant and greedy woman. So he didn't have any high expectations for her, he only looked at her for a brief moment before turning to Sung Lee.
"It's been a while," Rex said in a polite tone.
Sung Lee nodded.
"Yes it has been, let me introduce Master Rex to…" Sung Lee introduced his two ancestors, Ji Biyu and even Ji Baozhai to Rex thinking he was meeting them for the first time.
Rex exchanged greetings with them while also observing their expressions. Ji Biyu was focusing on his Ye Tian Clone most of the time while Ji Baozhai observed Lerna, Lerna's face and body were covered in the same way as her disciple which made it hard for her to see anything and because of the silver bracelet, she couldn't sense her cultivation base either.
Unlike Rex, Lerna didn't act much politely and only nodded her head slightly at the Sung trio's greeting as for the two women she just gave them a casual look.
"I heard Ancestor Ji has traveled to many places and know a lot about other continents," Rex tried to hold a conversation with Ji Baozhai, not because he wanted but thought that he may be able to get information related to forces like Soul Clan from her.
"Hmm…" Ji Baozhai said.
What followed was an awkward silence. Song Huang sighed he knew about the nature of Ji Baozhai.
{This woman is not good, if she ruins Master Rex's mood especially in front of Master Ye and Lady Lerna, then our relationship with them would also be affected,} (Sung Huang)
{But how should we interfere? We need her to show the way if the deal got canceled then Master Rex would be seriously angry especially when he gave Sung lee such a precious gift,} (Sung Suyin)
'I want to kick this woman then stomp my foot on her makeup plastered face.. no control Rex, control, breath deeper… huffff,' Rex thought.
Sung Lee looked at Ji Biyu.
She understood his meaning, she knew her master's temperament could bring trouble especially when they were in someone else's territory.
Just when she was about to break the silence, Ji Baozhai took a step towards Lerna and spoke.
"I have heard a lot about Lady Lerna these days, let's talk some other time in a better place at a better time," Ji Baozhai said as she extended her hand, she had visited many places and have seen many cultures so from the name alone she could guess handshake was the way of greeting Lerna likely follows.
Lerna was looking at the sky when she heard her words, she turned to her and saw Ji Baozhai extending her hand towards her, she snorted.
"What do you want?" Lerna asked in a displeased tone.
Awkward silence….
{Well done wifey, I will buy you three transformable dress instead of two,} Rex wanted to give her a thumbs up but he held back.
{Hmph, buy me some books instead,} Lerna replied.
Sung brothers looked at each other, they could see the hidden joy in each other's eyes.
Ji Biyu sighed. She didn't feel that bad as she knew that it will cease Rex's dissatisfaction towards her master's earlier behavior. She didn't delay this time and advised her master to not act rashly without thinking in a roundabout way.
"We have delayed for quite a while," Sung Lee broke the silence.
Other's followed the suit and all flew in the air. Ji Baozhai did the same, she didn't want to do something because of the no information but she was without a doubt dissatisfied with Lerna's behavior and won't forget it at least until she confirms if she really is a Calamity Lord because if she is, then her behavior was already very polite.
The arrogance of a Sky Body Formation expert… She was fully aware of it.
Jiang Qing and Tang Xuan also flew above with them, they had noticed Rex long ago but they didn't want to interfere in the meetup of powerhouses above them so they kept quiet.
Corentis didn't have deadly winds like Frozen Flame city and hence it was easy for a cultivator of Earth Venerable stage to fly to the clouds.
Jiang Qing was naturally helped by her father, Rex helped Mr. Black.
Ye Tian Clone just waved his head and said goodbye from the land, his purpose was fulfilled by now.
Rex flew at his speed and pierced through the clouds, when he reached above them he could see the clear sky.
Just at this time, his eyes landed on the skyship in front of him.
It was a gigantic ship similar to water ships at old times on earth, but instead of propellers or anchors, one could see the several arrays in motion around it.
The front of the ship was carved into an elegant swan head bending in an S shape and the sides of the ship were carved into folded snow-white wings, both of which suited well with the white clouds below it. The ship was covered in a transparent whitish barrier.
"Sect Master Sung got an elegant skyship, I didn't think you would have a taste like this," Rex said in a praising tone.
"This… Master Rex, that's not our ship, it's Cold Heaven Sect's ship," Sung Lee said in a somewhat embarrassed tone.
"Huh?" Rex looked at the ship again and noticed the disciples of Cold Heaven Sect standing on the deck, enjoying the scenery in front of them.
"That's just a good looking ship and nothing more, Master Rex see our Black Scorpion Sect's big, elegant and domineering skyship," Sung Suyin said as he points to the other side.
Rex turned around to looked at the second ship and almost fell from the sky after the first look.
A big ghost ship came into view, the exterior was of slatey and black color, it had a black scorpion symbol on the sides, but the ship looked like it was picked from the graveyard, it didn't match with its surroundings at all, it seemed like a third hand good, Rex could even see the few long cracks on it that seemed to have been recently repaired. The first two words that came to Rex's mind after seeing it for the first time were 'Pirate Ship', the only thing it was lacking was a pirate flag, if someone put a pirate flaw on it then without a doubt it will look exactly like an idol pirate ship
The ship was indeed bigger than Cold Heaven Sect's ship but elegant? This half-dead bandit-pirate ship is domineering? It felt like it was already a miracle that the ship was flying.
Rex first looked at Sung Suyin, he had a doubt he wanted to ask.
Brother tell me truthfully, what was your main business before founding the Black Scorpion Sect?
Rex really wanted to ask this but when he looked at the prideful expression plastered on the Sung Brothers' faces, he didn't know what to say anymore.
Is that scrap, something to be proud off? He thought.
Rex then helplessly looked at Sung Lee, who was the only one who looked embarrassed.
{Sect Master Sung, our Frozen Flame bank also issues big loans, if your sect has some financial issues then…} Rex said.
At this time Sung Lee wanted to hide a hole and bury his head in it. He didn't know when was the last time he felt so embarrassed.
{Master Rex, we don't lack money, the problem is there are not many people in Golden Bird Continent who could service or repair a skyship, we will get it serviced in Myriad Beast Continent this time,} Sung Lee explained.
Rex just nodded and headed to the ship with them.
Unlike him, Lerna wasn't bothered by the ship, as long as she could find a good room to just sit and read books she was satisfied with it.
Jiang Qing didn't look that bothered, riding such a ship was already better and safe than traveling on public ships. Tang Xuan was also indifferent.
Jiang Shuang was only there to see his daughter off, seeing that she was fine, he was fine too.
Rex landed on the deck of the ship with others, he could see elite disciples of the Black Scorpion Sect that were roaming around bowing towards them as a form of respect.
After they landed on the ship, Jiang Shuang said goodbye to Rex, and Jiang Qing then left.
"Master Rex let me show you the room we prepared for you," Sung Lee said.
"It's alright, I will go check it later," Rex said.
Sung Le nodded then left.
Other than Rex, everyone headed towards their room, they were curious to see the interior of the ship.
Rex was quietly looked at the boundless sky in his vision.
'Rose, see how far have we come. From an outer disciple of a puny sect to someone who could influence a whole continent in the middle world,' Rex said in a nostalgic tone.
[Indeed, you didn't get satisfied by this, did you?]
'Hahaha… An inventor who gets satisfied by an achievement, is it even an inventor?' Rex laughed inwardly. He quietly looked at the sky for a while before heading to his room.
