Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Chapter 306. Reaching the Destination, Something That Does Not Belong to This Universe

At Lu Yuan’s command, everyone drew in a deep breath.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng’s entire body began to shine with streak after streak of light. Its form expanded, and its wingspan directly reached several hundred meters.

This time, there were many people heading to Yellow Mountain. Since the Peacock King was not joining the expedition, the transport task would basically have to fall to the Golden-Winged Great Peng alone.

Lu Yuan could tear open the void and allow people to reach their destination in a short time. But to pass through already-torn space, one needed a sufficiently powerful physique. In terms of realm, one would likely need to be at least in the Venerable King Realm.

Also, only Sages could endure traversing through the void for long distances. Therefore, for now, they still had to rely on the most cumbersome method.

Of course, if Lu Yuan’s own strength could reach a certain level and completely stabilize space itself, then things would not be so troublesome. Unfortunately, he had clearly not yet reached that point.

Everyone began boarding the Golden-Winged Great Peng’s back. However, there really were too many people that the latter had no choice but to keep enlarging its body.

But fortunately, this did not take too much of a haul on the Golden-Winged Great Peng. Under the effects of its bloodline and talent, if it truly wished to, its size could become comparable to mountains themselves. After all, it was a Mythical tier existence.

Once it judged that everyone was onboard, it exchanged a glance with Lu Yuan and said nothing more. Its wings trembled slightly, and its figure shot straight into the sky.

At such speed, it quickly turned into a streak of light and disappeared completely.

”We should be leaving too, shouldn’t we?” Jiang Haokong immediately asked upon seeing the Peng take flight. He had two purposes now.

First, he wanted to see what was truly wondrous about Earth after its Awakening, and about its famous mountains and great rivers. Second, he hoped this matter would end quickly, so that he could finally have another battle with Lu Yuan.

So he was clearly rather impatient, constantly urging things along.

”You and I have both entered the Sage Realm now. We possess the ability to tear through the void. This distance means little to us, so there’s no need to be in such a hurry,” Lu Yuan merely said with a smile.

He then walked straight over to Elder Ji, Elder Yun, and the others, giving them a few instructions. He told them that until he returned, no matter what happened, they were not to act rashly.

Things were no longer as they had been before. The two elders also understood this very well.

The Outer Cosmos invasion was underway. The Celestial Court had only just managed to accumulate some strength with great difficulty. Naturally, it could not act carelessly now, or all their earlier efforts would have been wasted.

Lu Yuan said nothing further, because he trusted the two of them completely. Very soon, he departed Mount Tai directly with Jiang Haokong.

Both of them were Sages. They could tear through the void and head straight for their destination. Yet neither of them chose to do so.

Instead, they crossed the skies on foot. The reason was that Jiang Haokong was extremely interested in many regions of Earth. For instance, whenever they passed certain mountains or rivers along the way, he would observe them carefully.

After several days of this, he finally arrived at a conclusion. Earth was now in the midst of a certain kind of revival. Heaven-earth Energy, or what was being known as world force, was continuously being born, and with extraordinary intensity.

It was even more terrifying than in the Desolate Flame Starfield. Especially as time passed, all things were undergoing certain transformations under its influence.

In other words, Earth itself was constantly evolving, just like living beings. This was the elevation of the world itself. Because of that, cultivating and evolving here was much faster than in other starfields.

A prodigy was indeed a prodigy. In this regard, Jiang Haokong’s perception was truly keen. These observations more or less explained the entire process of this world’s Awakening.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan had not said a word from beginning to end. He had simply continued onward beside Jiang Haokong at an unhurried pace.

Once he judged that the time was about right, he directly tore open the void.

There was a Blood Bond between him and the Golden-Winged Great Peng, and with his current realm, he could naturally sense the latter’s approximate location.

He knew that the group was already close to Yellow Mountain. So he did not delay any longer, because he understood that many beings from the Outer Cosmos would surely already be gathering there.

If matters truly got out of hand, it would definitely not do without him present to hold things down.

Meanwhile, somewhere else...

The Golden-Winged Great Peng beat its wings. Its entire body flowed with golden light, and its feathers were like divine metal, tearing through the clouds.

On its back, Zhu Qingyu, Ice Fairy, and the others gazed ahead while also observing the mountains and rivers below.

”Judging by the situation, we should reach Yellow Mountain in about another half hour,” Zhu Qingyu commented with a solemn expression.

During the journey, she had sensed many powerful auras, most of them belonging to beings from the Outer Cosmos. She had even seen members of the Nether Bull Clan, the Three-Headed Ghost Race, and others. They too were heading for Yellow Mountain.

More importantly, these races all had deep grudges with the Celestial Court. If anything went wrong when they arrived, it would be very easy for fighting to break out, and their side would definitely be at a disadvantage.

Of course, Ice Fairy and the others were not afraid. The few of them had all basically reached the fifth stage of evolution, the Venerable King Realm now. Combined with their innate talents, there were very few existences left that could threaten them, Sages aside.

Against races like the Nether Bull Clan, no one among them felt any fear. What they feared was the sudden interference of even stronger races, such as the Celestials. With their current strength, they would be unable to deal with such opponents.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

Right at that moment, everyone discovered that space not far away split open directly and formed a spatial rift. Then, two figures stepped out from within.

They were Lu Yuan and Jiang Haokong.

”King Lu!”

”Master!”

The moment they saw who had arrived, everyone could not help but feel excited.

After all, this was their first true expedition to train in the outside world. Naturally, they had all been somewhat tense. But now that Lu Yuan had come, that emotion was immediately eased.

However, Lu Yuan said nothing at all because he knew that at this point, words were useless.

If he truly wished to establish the Celestial Court and forge it into a powerful force, perhaps even establishing heavenly soldiers and generals capable of waging war, then he had to let them experience such battles for themselves.

Only after experiencing them would they truly understand. This journey to Yellow Mountain was the best possible opportunity.

So, he directly walked to the Golden-Winged Great Peng’s back and slowly sat down cross-legged, without saying a single extra word.

Zhu Qingyu and the others were all extremely sharp. They understood his meaning at once.

Immediately, they exchanged glances, then instructed everyone to sit down and make their final preparations, to guard against the great battle that might arrive at any moment.

As for the Golden-Winged Great Peng, it continued speeding forward without pause.

Below, mountain after mountain fell away behind them.

At last, half an hour later—

Rumble!

Accompanied by a violent peal of thunder, everyone opened their eyes.

A vast mountain range lay ahead. Every peak seemed to thrust directly into the heavens, emanating an incomparably towering, weighty aura.

Of course, that was not the most eye-catching thing.

What truly astonished everyone was that within this range of peaks, beneath the endless lightning, a secret realm could be seen flickering in and out of view. It continuously exhaled powerful heaven and earth essence, looking mysterious and formidable.

More importantly, almost everyone could sense a certain inexplicable force within it.

It seemed as though it did not belong to this universe at all.
