Chapter 1153: Chapter 1153: Reflection
Yang Yan pondered slightly and quickly came to terms with it.
No wonder.
During the last mission, the disciples of the Ancient Abyss Sect suffered heavy casualties.
Except for Lin Zimu and Liu Yizheng, whose cultivation was relatively high and recovered quickly, allowing them to be lively and energetic after a few days with healing elixirs, the other disciples are still recuperating!
As for the one ranked third on the Celestial Pride List, named Zhong Shiyi, his face has been completely lost, so it’s not surprising that he didn’t appear this time.
After Guo Guoguo left, the disciples, freed from the young sect leader’s oppressive control, gradually stood up.
But what’s going on with Liu Yizheng?
Why is he standing behind Lin Zimu, yet not stepping forward?
"Yizheng, what about you? Are you just here for a stroll?" Yang Yan teased.
Liu Yizheng was slightly startled and quickly stepped forward to answer, "Grandmaster Yang, I also want to go, but last time..."
He stopped abruptly at this point.
Seeing his hesitant look, it seemed the shadow from that monster last time was quite significant for him!
Yang Yan carefully scrutinized him up and down and suddenly frowned, asking, "Oh... you’ve established your foundation?"
As someone also in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and with a Perfect Foundation, Yang Yan naturally could see Liu Yizheng’s current level.
Liu Yizheng was taken aback and then nodded lightly, somewhat awkwardly replying, "Yes, following the master’s teachings, during the healing process, I sensed the opportunity for foundation establishment and then completed ordinary foundation establishment."
Liu Yizheng’s casual words left the surrounding disciples, who were only at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Cultivation, all wide-eyed and speechless.
But upon reflection, it wasn’t surprising.
After all, he was the sect’s genuine second senior brother!
Although not as monstrous as Grandmaster Yang, who forced through thunder tribulation despite heavy injuries in battle, he completely met the conditions for ordinary foundation establishment.
He just hadn’t started it yet.
"Hehe! Let’s go, let’s go. This time it’s just a visit, nothing dangerous, so there’s no need to worry. Just treat it as a bit of fun."
At this point, Yang Yan turned to indicate to Lin Zimu, "Please lead the way, Brother Zimu."
Lin Zimu nodded, revealed the Chixiao Sword, and soared into the air with sword control.
Yang Yan, Liu Yizheng, and the twenty selected disciples followed closely behind, heading to meet with Elder Dugu.
This time, Yang Yan didn’t travel by sword. Instead, he effortlessly kept pace with Lin Zimu using his Perfect Foundation’s strength.
The nearby disciples marveled at Yang Yan’s Perfect Foundation’s speed through the air while trying their best to activate their spiritual treasures to keep up with Lin Zimu and Yang Yan.
And although Liu Yizheng, with just ordinary foundation establishment, didn’t have to exert much effort with the Dao Ling Sword, seeing Yang Yan travel effortlessly through the air also made him smile wryly.
This is the speed difference between ordinary foundation establishment and Perfect Foundation!
He wasn’t the only one with thoughts in mind.
The originally leading Lin Zimu was also stunned to see Yang Yan reach such a speed without using a spiritual treasure.
It seems he also needs to start preparing for his Perfect Foundation!
At this time, Yang Yan naturally didn’t know the inner turmoil of these two senior brothers.
His air travel wasn’t intended to show anything.
It’s just that he didn’t want to burden Star Night.
After all, to Yang Yan, Star Night, which has been with him all along, is more than just a spiritual treasure.
More like an old comrade who shares life and death.
Out of respect, he would only use Star Night for combat, not for speed as a mount.
Unless in emergencies like the last time fighting the Snake Demon, which required sword control in battle.
The same goes for other weapons like Asura and Wu Kong, which have developed artifact spirits.
However, even he wasn’t sure if Asura’s temperament would agree with being used as a mount.
Although he had considered these issues many times, Yang Yan couldn’t help but think.
Since coming to this Cultivation Planet, his power has improved, but it lacks something compared to before.
Before, he wasn’t just brute force!
Various tools emerged endlessly, and his moves were Words Become Law.
But here, not only does he need to relearn Daoist techniques to make up for the lack of skills, but the weapons he usually uses also seem to have lost their previous efficiency.
Take Star Night, for instance. Previously, its power was "when Star Night appears, under the starry sky, nothing can hide."
Wherever starlight shines was within Star Night’s attack range.
But now, Star Night seems unable to connect with the stars here.
Not only cannot it harness starlight, but its attacks are just similar to Sword Qi.
Even the once great power Life and Death Slaughter Slash now just looks like somewhat larger Sword Qi.
Thinking of this, Yang Yan’s heart tightened with an inexplicable, ambiguous feeling.
Although he shouldn’t belittle himself, he must face reality.
This feeling has always existed.
It’s just that Yang Yan tried hard to ignore it, shifting his focus to learning this world’s Daoist techniques to compensate for this gap.
Star Night is already like this, and he doesn’t know if Asura and Wu Kong still retain their characteristics.
Asura’s little Secret Realm, Wu Kong’s Power of Space...
If their characteristics are lost too, they’d just be ordinary spiritual treasures.
Ultimately, Yang Yan always arrived at the same conclusion.
It’s the difference in Heavenly Dao Laws causing all this.
If he returns to Earth, he should regain control of everything he knows...
The only thing giving him hope now is Ancestor Zongming’s revelation that Star Night is a growth-type spiritual treasure.
This means that as long as the opportunity is right, it can evolve into a higher existence.
At that time, Star Night’s power will surely reach new heights.
Even Yang Yan was curious about this.
He even wondered if his Asura and Wu Kong could evolve too?
"We’ve arrived."
Ahead, Lin Zimu softly said, bringing Yang Yan back from his thoughts.
"Hmm!" Yang Yan nodded slightly and led the disciples down.
"Humph! I’ve been waiting for you so long, you’re finally here!"
Seeing Yang Yan and the others come down, the Little Witch, Guo Guoguo, snorted coldly and squeezed out a few words between her teeth.
From departure to now, only a few minutes passed.
Adding the time spent selecting people, it definitely didn’t exceed ten minutes.
Why is her reaction so big?!
This time, not only Yang Yan, but even Lin Zimu was baffled, not knowing how they offended the young sect leader.
"Hehe, since you’re here, let’s get on the ship!"
Elder Dugu, who had been smiling, waved his right hand when he saw Yang Yan arrives, tossing out a spindle-shaped artifact.
This artifact expanded with the wind, quickly growing into a several-zhang long ship with a dragon head and tail.
Indeed, it’s the Wandering Dragon Boat that Yang Yan and the others had sailed on before.
"Elder Dugu, this is?"
Yang Yan was about to ask when he saw a graceful shadow already on the dragon boat deck, precisely Guo Guoguo, who arrived ahead.
"Get on the boat quickly! You’re even bringing these people!"
