Yan Zaizen was briefly astonished at the sight. In the far off distance, beneath the dusky skies, were tens of thousands of skyships of varying sizes. Some of the skyships exceeded hundreds of kilometers in size. They were breathtaking to behold, all of them emitting various forms of light like a kaleidoscope of colors. In this region of gloomy dusk, it was very attractive.
Pondering, Yan Zaizen sent outwards his heavenly sense to take in the situation. As he got a grasp of what was happening ahead, Yri stopped beside him and looked towards the myriad of ships that seemed berthed in the skies. Even her brows furrowed slightly.
She looked at Yan Zaizen cautiously sending out his heavenly sense and shook her head slightly. This method of reconnaissance was too noticeable and inefficient. Even if his heavenly sense can't be noticed by others, it'll only be happenstance if he could get a full picture of the situation.
Yan Zaizen also felt that, but he didn't wish to wildly approach a fleet of ships without firstly figuring out their purpose. After all, if they were a type of 'shot-first-ask-questions-never' type of group, then wouldn't he be getting himself in unnecessary conflict? However, this didn't mean he was confident in his heavenly sense remaining unhindered.
In fact, the moment it reached a kilometer away from his range, it collided with a forceful barrier. This barrier was ethereal but seemed to be projected by the ships or a ship to prevent the reckless spread of one's heavenly sense.
He grimaced slightly. The recoil from the collision with the barrier was like a bird recklessly flying into a bullet proof glass.
As if expecting this, Yri revealed a slight smile filled with a hint of mockery. She calmly explained, ”each ship has concealment and protection arrays and formations set up to prevent spying or infiltration. Not just heavenly sense, but all sorts of detection or intelligence-gathering methods. For...obvious reasons.”
Her words caused Yan Zaizen to briefly ruminate on the implications of her words, then he searched his memory and figured out why his heavenly sense was blocked so far away. Each ship had a similar method and they were unintentionally linking together causing it to expand and create a zone where normal sensory methods were hindered or altogether prevented.
A formation like that was absolutely necessary in the Fortune Cemetery. If one met a group with stronger individuals on a skyship and that group could perceive through the skyship and understand their strength, this would put them in obvious danger. To prevent this, skyships were fitted with the highest grade concealment and sensory-prevention formations and arrays.
Yri continued, ”Therefore, it's best to be a little...creative.” With a beautiful smile, she closed her eyes. A ripple of time seemed to emanate from her body. This ripple silently hit Yan Zaizen. The ripple didn't induce any physical effects, but Yan Zaizen's eyes lit up with a grey color. The world swirled endlessly in a rapid flowing cycle.
Before long, he realized he hadn't moved. His location was still the same as earlier. However, his physical body and Yri's weren't here, just their senses. In fact, the skyships seemed to only be a few hundred and not tens of thousands.
”Time is ever-present. Where time exists, so can I.” Yri's words seemed to contain a powerful, vastly profound meaning with the concept of time as its quintessence.
”...” Remaining silent, Yan Zaizen felt that her words were astounding. Even to this day, he was still learning various profound usages of time. It only reinforced his belief that laws were truly powerful beyond imagination.
”Now, let's see the past!” Yri's voice echoed and he felt his vision shift away towards the skyships in the distance. This 'vision' wasn't actually him, but a remnant of time. It was as if the world was sent into rewind and he was nothing more than a drop of water in the ocean of time. It wasn't long before they arrived on the skyships that were now no more than a few hundred in numbers.
On board the ships were all experts at least at the Fifth-Floor of the Heavenly Genesis or higher. This caused Yan Zaizen to be somewhat startled. Such a strong force in such a dense numbers were incredible. These must be elites of some upper-tier force in the region.
BOOM!!!
”You DARE?!” A rough, thunderous voice exploded in the temporal timeline. Yan Zaizen's 'vision' shifted involuntarily to a single ship. Obviously his 'vision' wasn't controlled by him but by Yri. This skyship wasn't like the other skyships. Its design was more like a bird, having two wings protruding from its sides. These wings realistically flapped about as if it was maintaining the flight of the skyship on its own power.
When Yan Zaizen saw these wings, he felt breathless. Etched on the wings were profound formations that he couldn't even hope to comprehend. They seemed to be manipulating the laws in a way that left him feeling a little inferior, even with his power.
Atop this ship was a handsome, middle-aged man dressed in white. His black hair flowed like a cascading waterfall, profound intent surging from every follicle. He looked domineering as the heavens, his eyes containing a deep sense of pride, and his upright posture as if he could carry the world on his shoulders highlighted his appearance. With an aura that seemed like a raging ocean about to collapse a tiny boat, Yan Zaizen couldn't help but feel a sense of respect.
