Climbing to immortality step by step

Chapter 122 Shenxiao Peak

The moment Liu Suiyun saw Chen Xingrui's embarrassed expression, he knew there must have been something incredibly awkward the first time his second senior brother had boarded the flying carriage. "Second Senior Brother, I've never ridden a flying carriage before, so I'll be counting on you today!"

Chen Xingrui lowered his voice. "Little Junior Brother, that time wasn't my fault—it was all because Master drove the carriage too fast and wild."

As they spoke, the group had already reached the edge of the cliff where the grand Qingyun Carriage was parked. What an imposing vehicle! It was about six or seven zhang long, over two zhang wide, and adorned with nine layers of canopies, its entire body gilded, radiating brilliance. In terms of sheer size, it could rival a massive ship from the mortal world, capable of carrying dozens of cultivators and warriors.

Pointing to the mist-wreathed Qingyun Carriage, Chen Xingrui remarked, "Junior Brother Liu, don't underestimate this carriage. Though our Chonghua Peak only has one, unlike the flying carriages from other peaks, this isn't merely a means of transportation. Once Master and Mistress board, and with us supporting in battle, even Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't dare come close to this carriage!"

Liu Suiyun nodded, understanding from the powerful aura emanating from the Qingyun Carriage that it wasn't just a flying vehicle but also a force to be reckoned with in the sky, a floating battleship. With the presence of Master and Mistress and the added strength of his two senior brothers, even Nascent Soul experts would find no advantage here.

Chu Nanhua silently brushed his sleeve, stepping out into the void as if it were solid ground, and made his way directly to the Qingyun Carriage. Just as he took his seat, Mistress Shen Yaqin arrived right on time, her elegant feet in phoenix-patterned shoes landing precisely at the carriage door. Liu Suiyun, however, had no recollection of how she had made her way over.

Fang Mingyue, with a single leap, landed on the Qingyun Carriage like a large bird, while Chen Xingrui hesitated and asked nervously, "Junior Brother Liu, are you sure you're up for this? Below us is a thousand-zhang cliff!"

The carriage was suspended in the sea of clouds at the cliff's edge, with no solid ground in sight—a true treasure of the immortal world. But Liu Suiyun was confident. "Don't worry, Senior Brother Chen. Even if I fall, Mistress is right there on the carriage—she'll just pull me up. You go ahead!"

Chen Xingrui grumbled under his breath, summoning a talisman that enveloped him in a glow before transforming into a pair of massive wings. With a few flaps, he flew over, leaving only Chu Cangshan behind.

Liu Suiyun gripped his Heavenly Tears Starfall Sword and thrust it forward, creating a rainbow bridge barely an inch wide, connecting the cliff to the Qingyun Carriage. Without hesitation, he dashed across the narrow bridge.

Though a deep abyss yawned beneath him, Liu Suiyun felt no fear, his steps steady. He could feel the bridge weakening underfoot, but his grin was short-lived—soon, he sensed the bridge was on the verge of collapse. "Damn it!" he muttered.

He had overestimated his eleventh-level Qi Refinement skills and was forced to speed up. Just as he approached the carriage door, the bridge was nearly an illusion. He was about to shout when a sleeve, embroidered with intricate golden and silver threads, appeared before him. A delicate hand grasped his, guiding him forward. Instantly, Liu Suiyun relaxed.

"You silly child," Shen Yaqin said with a smile, casting Liu Suiyun a sidelong glance. "At least you didn't wet yourself like your Second Senior Brother!"

So, Second Senior Brother had a history after all. At this moment, Chu Cangshan entered the Qingyun Carriage as well. "It's rare to use the Qingyun Carriage—will Master or Mistress be driving this time?"
