Chapter 20 - 20 Shocking secrets (1/2)
''All of you, get on'' Elder Lu said and although these kids were a bit afraid of sitting on such a big beast, eventually everyone climbed on top of it.
When everyone was finally on it, Elder Lu patted the bird's head as he said ''let's go''.
The bird's eyes snapped open as a terrifying pressure crushed on the people inside the royal palace of the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom'.
The bird then stretched open its giant wings of a wingspan more than 45m(147ft) and as it flapped them, strong gusts of air hit the ground and blew away everyone in its perimeter that had dared to stand underneath it.
Elder Lu was standing atop the bird's head as he explained to these soon-to-be disciples of his sect
''This is a red-winged condor, a rank 3 magic beast. It can even fight head-on against a Heaven grade expert so it's power is truly terrifying.''
The people sitting atop the condor were startled. A rank 3 magic beast? Nobody had ever seen one in the Sky Fortune Kingdom. Even if there was any, it was probably deep inside the Blue Forest if anywhere, but no one had ever seen it or at least lived to tell the tale of it.
The condor didn't fly in a straight line but instead kept flying higher and higher. These kids had never reached such an altitude before in their lives and most of them could feel their legs trembling atop the condor's back.
Elder Lu looked at these kids and said
''All of you can be considered as outer sect disciples of my 'floating cloud sect' now so I guess I should tell you a few things. First of all, it is only now that you kids will enter the 'true cultivation world'.
Take a look at the scenery below you.''
The condor had already flown up so high that every person seated on its back had a panoramic view of the scene below them.
When everyone looked down they had noticed that the place they were looking at was so big and their altitude was so high that they couldn't even spot the Sky Fortune Kingdom anymore.
Elder Lu then said
''Do you see this? There are over 170 'kingdoms' down there. But what you people don't know is that these are only 'mortal kingdoms'.''
This number astonished everyone from the Sky Fortune Kingdom. Their own kingdom was already so big, and they were now being told that there were more than 170 other Kingdoms on par with their own Sky Fortune Kingdom? Their minds couldn't accept this shocking revelation that easily.
''Elder what do you mean by mortal kingdoms?'' This time it was a short girl with an immature face and her hair fixed in a ponytail who asked this question.
Elder Lu then said
''It means that these 'kingdoms' of yours are mainly comprised of mortals who haven't even embarked on the path of cultivation. This entire 'continent' that you think your 'kingdom' is on, is in reality just a tiny mortal island in the face of my 'floating cloud sect'.''
-
If these people were shocked before, when they learned that there were 170 more kingdoms on this continent, then this time they were truly speechless.
Even Shun Long was shocked, as his mind couldn't process yet the enormity of the 'floating cloud sect'.
