Chapter 665: A Month of Flight
Chapter 665: A Month of Flight
Three weeks had passed since Kyrian left the Sky Caravan.
Time had passed quickly, like sand slipping through one’s fingers. After leaving the gigantic beast that carried the city behind, Kyrian had headed directly toward the Central Territory, without detours or hesitation.
During the first few days, he crossed the small domains near the End Mountain. Those places were relatively peaceful. They were not completely devoid of danger, but compared to the more important regions of the five great territories, they could be considered quite ordinary.
They were territories of low-level cultivators compared to the Caravan, small cities, limited resources. Nothing that interested Kyrian at the moment. He now wanted larger places.
The Verdant Sword Domain was also in that region of small general domains, but the distance was far too great.
Even if he wanted to pass through there to visit some people, old acquaintances perhaps, it would make his journey take too much time. Besides, Kyrian had no urgent reason to return. His path now pointed toward the future, not the past. So he continued moving forward, straight toward the Central Territory.
During those three weeks, his routine was relatively simple. He traveled with Arcon for most of the day, watching the scenery slowly change beneath them.
When he found a suitable place, he would stop to rest. Sometimes, he found small cities or safe areas where he could stay for a few hours, buying supplies or simply enjoying the comfort of a roof over his head.
Other times, he simply landed in some uninhabited region, setting up a makeshift camp among ancient trees or along the banks of tranquil rivers.
Kyrian used this time to do other things. Alchemy. Formations. Cultivation. And, most importantly, training.
The Wings of Freedom had become an important part of his daily routine. When he first created them, Kyrian had taken several minutes to completely form both wings.
It wasn’t a long time. But in a real battle… Several minutes could decide between life and death. A single second of hesitation could mean the end.
Therefore, Kyrian began training.
He repeatedly created the wings. Dispelled them. Created them again. Dispelled them. At first, it took several minutes.
Then, it began to take thirty seconds. Twenty. Then ten. He kept trying, without caring about exhaustion, without caring about the time. His goal was to be able to form the wings practically at the same instant he needed them. He had not yet reached that level. But his speed had improved considerably.
Besides that, his control was also becoming more and more natural. The wings no longer felt like something strange. When Kyrian created them, his body immediately recognized how to control them.
During some flights, he would even forget that those wings were not actually part of his body. He simply flew. And it was an extremely pleasant sensation, a freedom he had never experienced before.
Furthermore, Kyrian had brought with him the two books Sun Luguo had given him. During the periods when Arcon flew peacefully, Kyrian studied them.
His knowledge of ordinary forging and spiritual forging increased rapidly. He had realized that Sun Luguo really had not been exaggerating when he said Kyrian possessed talent. Even without having a furnace or suitable materials, Kyrian could quickly understand the principles described in the books.
How different metals reacted to heat. How to control the temperature. How to use Qi during forging. How to identify impurities. How to combine spiritual materials. How to make Qi flow through a weapon without destroying its structure.
The more he read, the more he realized that forging possessed enormous depth, centuries of accumulated knowledge, passed from master to disciple and refined by countless generations.
But there was no rush. Kyrian did not intend to forge during the journey. He did not possess suitable materials. He did not have a furnace. And even if he had both, he would need to stop for a long time, taking hours or days to create something of quality. For now, he only wanted to leave the domains near the End Mountain behind. He could think about that later.
His cultivation had also advanced. His third dantian, the Third Mirror Eye, continued to consolidate. Even without participating in battles during those weeks, the stability acquired during the Heavenly Descent Festival had been enough to allow for steady advancement.
From the first stage of the Qi Liberation Realm… to the second stage. And then the third stage. Kyrian had advanced two stages in just three weeks.
Now, his Third Mirror Eye was at the third stage of the Qi Liberation Realm.
He could continue advancing. He felt that he could. The path was open, the energy flowed without obstacles. But he decided not to do so.
‘I need to consolidate.’
Kyrian knew very well the dangers of advancing too quickly. If he wanted to, perhaps he could attempt to break through directly to the fourth stage.
But his goal had never been simply to advance quickly. He wanted a perfect foundation. He wanted his third dantian to be as stable as the other two. He wanted all three to be capable of supporting the same level of power.
And there was another reason. Kyrian could hardly wait for the day when his third dantian reached the other two. At that moment…
His strength would probably increase in a surprising manner. Three dantians at the same level. Three sources of Qi. And the Third Mirror Eye, with its special ability to control and release mirrored Qi from his two main dantians. Kyrian had great expectations for that moment.
Furthermore, according to his estimates… His normal cultivation would still take approximately two months to reach the next stage of the Core Formation Realm.
The limit was slowly decreasing. It would still take some time. But it was getting closer and closer. Kyrian was not in a hurry. He had enough resources. And he had time.
…
Another week passed. Finally, Kyrian left behind the small domains near the End Mountain. The landscape began to change. The distant mountains became smaller. The inhabited regions began to decrease. The forests became more extensive, vast green oceans stretching as far as the eye could see.
