Chapter 1020: Shapely

They let the Artifact Spirit choose his own name, but with their input so that they wouldnt be embarrassed again. After some deliberation he chose the name Xiang Fei Long, the Fragrant Fat Dragon, for himself. As for the Flying Ship itself, it was now to be called the Shifting Jade Mountain. It was a simple name, but the dragon insisted that he have his own mountain. The Flying Ship could also take the form of buildings, or a small mountain, so it wasnt actually that far off. At this time the Mountain was in the shape of a narrow bullet. Wings would give it more lift which could lead to more speed, but due to the strange nature of the world they could end up being more unpredictable.

Since they didnt really trust the Artifact Spirit to handle such delicate control over the Flying Ship. In its many decades of existence it had become extremely adept at controlling the ship like its own body to move and reflect its every action. The problem was that theyd forced it to separate from that thought process so now it had to learn everything all over again from scratch. The journey to the Xuanyuan Empire was as long as Guan Zhenyan was lazy. Neither of these two could be trusted to carefully monitor and react quickly to adjust the Ship to account for the variations in the air. Instead, they just put the ship into the most aerodynamic bullet shape inspired by Sages memories and then adjusted for the current situation. The shape of a bullet was optimized for its gyro-stabilized spinning flight, so after some tests it started to look more like the fuselage of a jet aircraft. It didnt have much in the way of wings, for the aforementioned reasons, but it didnt have to be perfectly symmetrical from every angle. Xiang Fei Long then took it upon himself to shape the Flying Ship more like a large crystalline spike. The research teams oversaw the changes and they allowed him to add as many cosmetic changes as he liked as long as it didnt reduce the straight line performance.

The Shifting Jade Mountain needed to travel in a straight line for a long time at a high speed, and without much attention. The simple shape solved these problems. The high speed and built in defenses were already enough to make it past nearly anything they could run into on the way. Even if they ran into a tier 7 Demonic Beast along the way they should hopefully be able to outrun it unless they flew right into a prepared trap, which would be quite difficult to do as nobody knew the route they were going to take.

Along the way, they were scared more than a few times as they felt a warning aura from what could only be Saint level Demonic Beasts off in the distance. These tier seven monsters didnt bother to do anything to them, merely giving a warning to keep them off their territory. The territory that each of these beasts claimed was only a few thousand miles wide, which wasnt even a full Province, so it wasnt much trouble for them to go around. They were mainly just surprised they encountered more than one of these powerful Demonic Beasts. Or at least, Sage, Xiang Fei Long, and those watching from the Inner World were. Guan Zhenyan was actually surprised they ran into so few of them, praising Xiang Fei Longs choice of a lucky route. He wasnt worried about being attacked, but happy they had avoided taking too many detours along the way.

They entered the territory of the Xuanyuan Empire, but they were still quite far from the actual settlements. From there they were still a few weeks away from their destination. Guan Zhenyan led them to a certain city in a certain Kingdom, one where he assured them he still had an ally that could shelter them. Upon arrival they saw a battle going on just outside the city wall, and Sage was shocked by the sight of two huge worms smashing against each other.

Worms? What sort of place is this?The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.
