Everyone scattered around the Sword Grave could hear the loud crashing sound and they started looking around to find the origin of the noise.
Suddenly, the scenery around them changed, and found themself in a large circular room with multiple huge screens at the center. Below the screens were a bunch of complicated-looking buttons with complicated and unrecognized symbols in different colors.
"What? What is this place? We are not in the canyon anymore?" Leyvi looked around and saw many uniquely designed doors around the circular walls.
How did a stomp from him cause all of this change?
"Huh?" What surprised Leyvi was that his spiritual sense couldn't penetrate the wall so he couldn't see what was on the other side. Leyvi let out a sigh of relief when he sensed that everyone was here unharmed.
"Ehem-ehem! I've adjusted to this world's language so does everyone understand me?" Suddenly a girl's voice was heard in the room.
Everyone turned their heads and immediately saw the screens in the center showing a mouth talking to them. No face, only mouth.
"Who are you? Are you a spirit?" Leyvi guessed. This thing reminded him of Toy Spirit.
"Bingo!! You are correct young man! I am the Ship Spirit of this Universe Airship, a program made to handle everything here automatically. Fortunately, during the long course of time, I have gained sentience and become the Ship Spirit! I have named myself Alita."
A Ship Spirit! No wonder she gave the same vibe as Toy Spirit. Leyvi wondered how long this airship had been here. He was not unfamiliar with airships. His Mountain Dew Sect has one, but it was rarely used. It will only be used when they need to travel far away in a short amount of time. After all, it consumed a large amount of spirit stones to operate.
Even with the Leyan Family's current wealth, he would feel reluctant to use it to power an airship. Furthermore, he and Anda preferred traveling by carriage because they loved adventure.
"Alita, where is the owner of this airship?" Leyvi asked.
"The owner died long ago before I even became the Ship Spirit. She was a loner throughout her whole life, cultivating and traveling the cosmos alone. Unfortunately, she reached the limit and couldn't progress any further. At the end of her lifespan, she landed on this planet and chose this canyon as her final destination as it resembles the terrain of her hometown." Alita narrated a brief story about the owner of this airship.
Cosmos? Planet? What are these words? He had never heard of these terms before. Is it somewhere outside the Cloud Continent? Leyvi put this question at the back of his mind for now.
Leyvi could hear the melancholy and loneliness in her voice which caused Leyvi to feel like something was off.
"By the way young man, how did you break the illusion formation here? Although I have repaired it again, it was still an unprecedented feat. Nobody could damage and unravel the formation before but you did it even though your cultivation is so low." Alita was curious.
She was in hibernation mode when the formation the owner set up broke suddenly and some human and demonic beasts were transported into the main control room. Thankfully the formation was only dismantled and not destroyed. She reassembled and activated the formation again.
Formation? Could it be? His benefit! Formation Dismantler! He had never used it before so he had already forgotten about it. No wonder he felt a sense of familiarity. Leyvi recalled that the formation in his mansion could absorb the impact and prevent damage to the training room. It was the same at the Sword Grave.
Leyvi chuckled lightly. It turned out that he dismantled the formation that nobody could ever damage and was called indestructible. If so then why were the formations in his mansion fine? Could it be because he had no intention to damage them? Leyvi nodded. It probably related to his intention. If every formation were dismantled indiscriminately, his life would be hell.
"Hellooooooo~ Young man, what were you thinking about?" Alita got impatient and disturbed Leyvi's thought.
"Ahh...Forgive my manner. Alita, you can call me Leyvi, and they are my family members. As for the formation, apparently, I have some kind of a unique ability to disable formation. How did it work? I'm not sure either." Leyvi decided to tell the partial truth. Flat-out lying would make it suspicious, after all, he did break the formation.
"Hooo, what a unique ability. Let's try it again. I'll create a formation and you try to break it." Alita suggested.
Immediately, a shield-shaped barrier formed directly in front of Leyvi. This surprised Leyvi. How did a formation appear without any prior preparation? What level of formation achievement is this?
"Are you surprised by this? Hehe. This is nothing much, that lady behind you should be your woman, right? I can sense a lot of your essence in her. She also can do similar things." Alita was talking about Anda.
Anda and the other ladies were blushing when they heard about the essence part. Can you not talk about this in front of the kids? Anda complained in her mind. Fortunately, they didn't understand this topic yet.
Anda can do a similar thing? Leyvi thought carefully.
"Is it the Dao?" This was the only similar thing he could think of.
"Bingo! The deeper you learn about Dao, the more things you can do with just a whim. Your woman was quite a talent. This red-haired girl too, but she's a bit weird. I could sense the Sword Intent from her, but the Dao's presence was not there. Even this Bison is weird, did he get cursed?" Alita sounded confused.
Valenia was about to be flattered but it was gone after being called weird.
Ugh, it was probably because the Sword Intent was given by the Talent Bead while in Anda's case, she gained enlightenment. Her comment about Mr. Bison being cursed almost made him laugh because that was what he thought too when Mr. Bison got the Heavenly lord Diamond Body. Leyvi decided to keep quiet.
"Okay, Leyvi right? You can show me your ability now. I'm quite curious."
Leyvi could tell from her tone that she was actually curious. Leyvi stepped forward and looked at the shield formation. His Formation Dismantler benefit has only been activated once just now. What if it suddenly didn't work? He would be embarrassed. Leyvi decided to test the hypothesis he came up with. It should be related to his intention.
I want to break this formation. Leyvi punched the shield the moment he stated his intention in his mind.
CRACKKKKK!!!
This time, it sounded like a crack. The shield formation did break. Leyvi was relieved that it worked.
"Wow! Wow! Wow! It really is true! This is amazing!" Alita sounded excited.
"Is this really impressive?" Leyvi asked.
"Let me tell you, the shield formation just now, even the strongest being in this world wouldn't be able to damage it. It's the same as the illusion formation outside. Your special ability is too amazing!" Alita praised.
Everyone was dumbfounded. The strongest can't damage it but Leyvi can?
Bana firmly decided to work for Leyvi forever.
Valenia thought that she might agree if Leyvi asked her now.
Tal and Tasya admired Leyvi even more.
The maids' resolve to become Leyvi's concubine reached a greater height.
Leyvi's spirit beasts praised themselves for making the right choice. Their boss was the best.
Anda, Lilian, and Layla, the three wives felt proud of their husband.
Ughh...Why are everyone looking at me like that? I can only do that to a formation. I'm not that strong you know. Leyvi felt suffocated by their expectations.
"With your ability, you can become the best Tomb Raider! Any formation would be useless so you can steal every treasure buried!" Alita continued.
Leyvi almost fell. What do you mean Tomb Raider? Do you want me to be a villain raiding other people's tombs? No no no! I want to create a virtuous family here, not a villainous family.
"Haha, you must be joking Alita. I don't have that kind of behavior. You would be mad too if we robbed you like that right?" Leyvi tried to counter her suggestion.
"Well, I have no problem with that. As a matter of fact, I am about to give this airship to you anyway. I've been here for far too long, it has been more than a hundred thousand years. It needs a new owner." Alita dropped a huge information nonchalantly.
"A hundred thousand years?" Everyone was shocked. How long was that? Even the famous catastrophe was only a thousand years ago.
"However, because the previous owner was a woman, she had set that the next inheritor could only be a woman. So Leyvi, you can let any of the girls here inherit the airship." Alita stated the requirement.
While Leyvi felt nothing about this condition, Anda was furious. Again! Why was it like this again? Why can't Leyvi have the treasure?
If 'fate' really manipulated things behind the scenes, she would defy this 'fate' and give everything to her husband! One day she would find this 'fate' and interrogate it herself.
"I will inherit this airship!" Anda firmly said.
