Chapter 236 Going to the Immortal Realm
The four of them looked at the Optimus Prime shrouded in mist. Liu Junyang spoke first, "Qiqi, we can't reach the fairyland by just following the Optimus Prime. How do we get up there?" This was also the question Zhou Jingze wanted to ask.
Qiqi didn't say anything, but looked at Master Ling Xuzi to see what he would say.
"Jun Yang, don't be anxious. If we want to reach the fairyland, we have to go up to Optimus Prime. There are many dangers up there. Are you sure you want to go up? Master doesn't know how many levels we have to go through before we can reach the fairyland." Ling Xuzi said.
"Master, I am sure I have to go up. I want to save my father and that woman. She gives me a familiar feeling. I can't not save her after knowing this. Brother Jingze, you and Brother Junyang wait for us here. I don't know what dangers there are up there, so don't take the risk." Qiqi said.
"Qiqi, what are you talking about! You saved my father, I can't be a coward and let you do all the dangerous things. I must go up with you. I can't protect you, but I can keep watch for you. I won't hold you back." Liu Junyang said.
"Qiqi, I will go up with you. You can't leave me behind since I have a part to play in saving people." Zhou Jingze said.
"Qiqi, let them follow us. There is strength in numbers. Maybe they can help. If we don't let them go, they will follow us from behind. If they are in danger, it will be too late for us to regret. If they go together, we can still protect them." Ling Xuzi said.
Qiqi looked at them and nodded, agreeing to let them go up together.
"Master, how do we get up there? Just fly up like this?" Qiqi said.
"Qiqi, this is the first time for Master to see Optimus Prime. When I was a child, I heard about Optimus Prime and thought it was just a legend. I didn't expect that when I was old, I would see the legendary thing. Let's fly up and see what dangers and opportunities it has." Ling Xuzi said.
Qiqi quickly prepared several ropes with grappling hooks and gave each person one to prevent falls. They also tied safety ropes and several carabiners around themselves. They also ate something to replenish their energy.
Liu Junyang had recently been taught by Yun Jizi and Zhou Jingze, and his cultivation level had surpassed Qiqi's brothers. Yun Jizi was very fond of this boy, as he learned quickly and made rapid progress. Yun Jizi didn't know that Liu Junyang had the blood of someone from the immortal realm flowing through his veins, so how could his cultivation level not be fast?
Zhou Jingze and Liu Junyang took off first, clearing the way. Qiqi and Ling Xuzi followed closely behind. If they were in danger, they would pull them back for protection.
Zhou Jingze and Liu Junyang also did not allow Qiqi to be in front. They both protected Qiqi.
Ling Xuzi was deeply moved by their affection and selfless dedication. The immortal world wasn't as kind and responsible as the people of the mortal world. It was filled with deception and scramble for fame and fortune.
Soon they flew into the mist. Sometimes, when they grew tired, they would grab onto the protruding part of Optimus Prime to rest. They soon encountered a strong wind, howling fiercely. The four of them split into two groups. Zhou Jingze and Qiqi held onto each other. Ling Xuzi held onto Liu Junyang. The wind was still swirling, and if Ling Xuzi hadn't held onto Liu Junyang, he would have been blown down. Being held onto something also meant being tossed around. The whirlwind came in fits and starts, and they took advantage of the weaker winds to soar upwards. When the wind grew stronger, they would grab onto the protruding part of Optimus Prime to pause.
They were soon past it, and just as they were about to catch their breath, heavy rain began to pour down. They used their spiritual energy to create a protective shield and slowly flew upwards. Ling Xuzi shielded Liu Junyang within it. Soon, the heavy rain turned to hail, causing the spiritual energy shield to become unstable.
Qiqi and the others' spiritual energy shields were knocked down by the hail. Ling Xuzi flung out a safety rope, and Zhou Jingze quickly grabbed it, halting their descent. Ling Xuzi then pulled them into his own spiritual energy shield.
Liu Junyang slapped his chest in fear, "I was so scared, I thought you were going to fall."
"Thank you, Master," Qiqi said. Zhou Jingze also saw Ling Xuzi's strength. He could fly upwards with the three of them as usual.
Qiqi took out some pills and handed them to his master. Ling Xuzi didn't hesitate to take them. He took one and put it in his mouth. "No need to be polite when a disciple gives it to you." Saving their lives was more important than anything else.
Under Ling Xuzi's protection, they passed the hailstorm area. They saw a small platform on Optimus Prime, and Ling Xuzi led them to land on it.
They had just rested a bit when they saw thunder and lightning in the sky. "Not good," Ling Xuzi called out to me, and covered them with a spiritual energy shield. Then they flew up, and just after flying a distance, a bolt of lightning struck the spiritual energy shield.
The spiritual energy within the aura shield thinned. Ling Xuzi quickly took out some pills, stuffed them into his mouth, and swallowed them, stabilizing the aura shield. Soon, a second lightning bolt struck, followed by a third. Ling Xuzi stuffed more pills into his mouth. He had to protect several children, even if it meant peeling off a layer of skin.
Qiqi, Zhou Jingze, and Liu Junyang also lost their spiritual energy to Ling Xuzi. Only then did he manage to stabilize the spiritual energy shield.
The last few lightning bolts struck at once. Ling Xuzi spat out a mouthful of blood, which sprayed onto the spiritual energy shield. The spiritual energy shield almost collapsed.
"Master, how are you?" the three people exclaimed.
They finally made it through the lightning zone. "I'm fine. Don't worry." Ling Xuzi said weakly.
"Master, I have some elixirs here. Let me give them to you." Qiqi anxiously took out all the elixirs she had and handed them to her master. Ling Xuzi took them and swallowed a few. He didn't know what dangers lay ahead. If he couldn't hold on, all three of them would be in danger.
Ling Xuzi spotted a large tree growing on Optimus Prime. He slowly landed on the tree and dispersed the spiritual energy shield. The four of them then grabbed onto the trunk.
The tree was laden with red fruits, and Qiqi reached out and plucked one. Zhou Jingze quickly stopped her and said, "Don't eat it yet. Let me try it first to see if it's poisonous." He took a quick bite and found it delicious, full of spiritual energy. Instantly, all his fatigue vanished.
"Qiqi, Master, Junyang, you two should pick one and eat it quickly. It tastes better than Qiqi's spiritual fruit. After eating one, spiritual energy will spread throughout your body and all your fatigue will disappear." Zhou Jingze said.
Qiqi quickly picked one for her master. Ling Xuzi was meditating to recover his spiritual energy. He heard Zhou Jingze's words and quickly took the red fruit Qiqi handed him. He ate it, and instantly his whole body was filled with spiritual energy. Qiqi handed him two more.
Ling Xuzi ate three in a row and felt signs of a breakthrough.
