Jiang Yuechu was not the type to dither.
Since she had made up her mind to return to Chang'an, she would not delay even for a moment.
After dismissing everyone, she stood alone in the courtyard.
She tilted her head slightly and looked up at the sky.
Since her Transmigration, even though the Zhonglian Realm allowed her to leap a hundred zhang, she was ultimately still crawling on the ground.
Mountains had to be climbed, and waters had to be crossed.
Who would have thought that one day, she could roam free in the world?
"Hoo..."
She exhaled a puff of white air.
Jiang Yuechu slowly closed her eyes.
An indescribable restlessness surged from within her body.
"Rise."
A single word was softly exhaled.
Boom—!!!
The originally silent courtyard was suddenly swept up by a gust of wild wind.
Accumulated snow flew about like white waves crashing into the sky.
The bluestone tiles beneath Jiang Yuechu's feet instantly shattered.
There was no running start.
Nor was any leverage needed.
Swoosh—!!!
Her entire person transformed into a golden rainbow, tearing through the sky full of clouds.
The speed was so fast.
It actually left a long golden trail in the Void Realm that did not dissipate for a long time.
Its momentum was like a meteor chasing the moon, and like a white rainbow piercing the sun.
In just the blink of an eye.
That golden rainbow had already disappeared at the end of the horizon.
Only circles of surging air waves remained, churning endlessly in the sea of clouds.
The surrounding scenery turned into streaks of light, receding backwards.
The so-called thousands of mountains and rivers.
Were nothing more than a matter of a single flap of those golden wings.
Jiang Yuechu tried to adjust her posture.
At first, she was a bit unfamiliar, and her figure swayed slightly in the clouds.
But after only a moment.
She was already proficient.
Sometimes she dived down, skimming over mountain peaks, startling a flock of cold crows.
Sometimes she soared straight up, weaving through the clouds, bathing in the magnificent might of heaven.
This kind of freedom.
This pleasure of controlling everything.
Caused Jiang Yuechu's usually steady heart to ripple with emotion.
Possessing such extreme speed.
The world was vast.
Indeed, she could go anywhere.
...
Chang'an City.
The twenty-first day of the twelfth lunar month.
The north wind was biting, and the auspicious snow was falling heavily.
The sky full of goose-feather snow wrapped this majestic city of the world tightly.
Inside the imperial city, the red walls and yellow tiles were all covered in white.
Only the red lanterns of the thousands of households revealed a bit of festive warmth in this plain white world.
But the Emperor's heart could not be happy at all.
"It's the twenty-first."
"It's already the twenty-first today!"
"Why is there still no news until now!!!"
The Old Eunuch serving on the side, holding a fox fur coat in his hands, was about to drape it over the Emperor.
Seeing this, his body trembled, and he hurriedly bowed and approached.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger; the Dragon body is important."
The Emperor pushed away the fox fur and irritably tugged at his collar.
"This You Wujiang is the same; I clearly instructed him long ago that the first thing upon meeting was to explain this matter to Lonely Moon. If she really didn't want to return, he should have sent someone to pass a message first."
"But what about now?"
"No news at all!"
"This You Wujiang usually looks steady; why is he so reckless when handling this task?"
"Whether she is returning or not, I have no idea in my heart..."
The Old Eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you are anxious because you care."
"Now that Lord You hasn't sent anyone to deliver a letter back to Chang'an, doesn't that mean Your Highness is willing to return?"
"In this old servant's opinion, perhaps Lord You is currently accompanying Your Highness on the way back to the capital."
Hearing this, the Emperor's expression softened slightly.
Indeed.
If Jiang Yuechu did not want to return to the capital for the New Year.
By logic, a letter would have arrived long ago.
Now there was no news.
Wouldn't that mean she agreed to return?!
Thinking this through.
His heart was set at ease.
He was just about to say something.
Rumble—!!!
An explosive sound like a thunderclap suddenly burst over Chang'an City.
"Protect the Emperor! Quickly protect the Emperor—!!!"
The Old Eunuch's shrill voice instantly pierced through the great hall.
...
Meanwhile.
High above in the ten-thousand-zhang sky.
A brilliant golden rainbow was like a meteor falling from outside the heavens.
If anyone had good enough eyesight, they could see the front of that golden rainbow.
It was not some meteorite falling from the sky.
But a somewhat disheveled figure.
The violent air waves stirred up by inertia lost their restraint in this instant, surging forward like a tsunami.
Rumbling—
The sea of clouds churned, forcibly pushed dozens of miles away by this wave of air.
Jiang Yuechu stood in the Void Realm, clutching her chest, looking down at her feet with lingering fear.
"Hoo..."
The Divine Ability of [Cloud Journey of Ten Thousand Li] was indeed tyrannical.
But it was precisely because it was too tyrannical, that just a moment ago.
If not for her quick reaction in forcibly braking.
She feared she would have flown too far.
Jiang Yuechu was about to calm her breathing.
Suddenly.
She raised an eyebrow.
She saw that in the depths of the imperial city.
Several terrifying Auras suddenly surged up.
"What kind of petty scoundrel dares to run wild in Chang'an?!"
A violent shout, like rolling spring thunder, shook the heavens and earth.
The next second.
Shoo—!!!
Two long rainbows, one black and one purple, instantly tore through the sky, carrying an unstoppable Aura, charging straight into the clouds.
The former was full of black Qi, with chilling killing intent.
The latter had purple Qi coming from the east, noble beyond words.
Jiang Yuechu was slightly stunned.
She had forgotten about this.
Chang'an was the capital of the Great Tang, a place where Dragon Qi gathered, and it had countless great formations guarding it.
For her to barge in with such great momentum.
It would be strange if she wasn't treated as an enemy attack.
In just the blink of an eye.
The two beams of light had already charged to her front.
The black light dissipated.
Revealing two old men.
The two formed a pincer formation, surrounding Jiang Yuechu tightly.
"Acting so unscrupulously, is this not bullying my Great Tang for having no one?!"
Zhao Zhongliu's beard and hair stood on end, and the iron mace in his hand hummed.
It was just that...
When he saw the face of the young girl whose clothes were fluttering in the gale.
Zhao Zhongliu's killing intent instantly froze on his face.
"Why is it you, this lass?!"
The Imperial Ancestor on the side was also stunned.
The two looked at each other, both seeing a trace of unbelievable shock in the other's eyes.
That Aura just now.
Fast as lightning, powerful as thunder.
Such terrifying speed.
Even for the two of them, they felt a sense of heart-palpitating fear.
They mostly knew the background of the Mountain Gazing practitioners within the Great Tang.
But this golden beam of light was unheard of and unseen.
Just now they were guessing who the visitor was.
Who would have thought...
It was actually this lass?!
Imperial Ancestor suddenly thought of something, his expression tightening: "Flying in the air? Could it be..."
"You have stepped into the Mountain Gazing Realm?!"
Once these words were spoken.
Zhao Zhongliu also suddenly realized.
That's right!
Flying in the air is the symbol of the Mountain Gazing Realm!
Although Seed Lotus can briefly stay in the air and glide by borrowing force, how can it be like this, standing in the ten-thousand-zhang sky, as if walking on flat ground?
How long has it been?
A seventeen-year-old in the Seed Lotus stage is already shocking.
If she were to step from Seed Lotus into Mountain Gazing in one step...
Then wouldn't the martial arts he had practiced his whole life have been in vain?!
Facing the two's questioning.
Jiang Yuechu just tidied her sideburns that had been blown messy by the wind, her expression calm.
"Junior merely relied on the Spiritual Seal to borrow some external force."
"Far from that Mountain Gazing..."
"Still far off."
