Chapter 208 Looking up at the immortal ship, the vast sky stretches for ten thousand miles.
Chu Lengyu didn't waste time on pleasantries. She directly used her spiritual power to take out the Yao Guang Immortal Boat from her storage bag.
As she gently waved her sleeve, a dazzling light burst forth from her palm, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The light rapidly expanded in the air, transforming into a gigantic celestial vessel that appeared out of nowhere, a sight that aweed the soul.
They looked up in astonishment.
The celestial ship, hundreds of feet long, stretched across the sky, resembling a palace floating in the air, exuding a faint aura of immortality.
The celestial boat floated slowly in mid-air, as steady as Mount Tai, without the slightest sway. Its enormous size and stable posture were truly awe-inspiring.
The runes and light flowing across the boat seemed to contain endless mysteries, captivating all who beheld them.
At this moment, its existence made everyone feel their own insignificance.
People looked up in awe, wondering what kind of power this celestial vessel contained and how to steer it.
The Yao Guang Immortal Ship blotted out the sky, casting a huge shadow that terrified those below who were unaware of its presence, who assumed that this suddenly appearing behemoth meant another monster was about to attack.
However, when they saw the magnificent appearance of the celestial vessel, they suddenly realized that it was the National Preceptor's magic weapon, and they were immediately amazed.
The Minister of Rites took a few steps forward in a daze, his eyes fixed on the Yao Guang Immortal Boat, deeply shocked.
He never expected that the "ship" Chu Lengyu mentioned would look like this!
A celestial vessel! As expected of an artifact of immortals, it surpasses all expectations!
After realizing what had happened, everyone was filled with excitement and couldn't contain their joy.
They are about to embark on this celestial vessel to Mount Tai to witness history—what an honor!
The Minister of Works was completely dumbfounded.
He had been in charge of the Construction Department for many years and had a deep understanding of shipbuilding techniques.
The Jiangnan navy certainly had large ships, but compared to this Yao Guang Immortal Ship, they appeared so small and simple, utterly insignificant!
He marveled at this, filled with awe and curiosity about the methods of cultivators.
"Is this the method of cultivators?" The Minister of Works carefully observed the immortal ship and was amazed.
He had never imagined before that a "boat" could not swim in the water, but fly in the sky.
He simply couldn't fathom how an ordinary person could make such a large ship fly and remain so stable in mid-air. It was absolutely impossible! He deeply felt the mystery and power of cultivators.
Chu Lengyu noticed his disappointed expression and her heart stirred, but she did not rashly offer any advice.
She comes from the modern era and naturally understands the convenience of technology.
But compared to technology, she now enjoys greater convenience in the cultivation aspect.
As the commotion caused by the appearance of the celestial vessel gradually subsided, people began to examine their appearance and clothing, worried that they might have been reckless and soiled the magnificent celestial vessel.
Even Lüyun was seeing the boat in its complete form for the first time. When she first saw it at her young lady's place, it was less than a foot long, and she thought it was just an extremely exquisite wooden carving.
Unexpectedly, its body was so huge, even majestic.
She couldn't imagine what it would be like if a cultivation world really existed, where everyone was a cultivator. Would everything in the cultivation world be enormous?
She imagined that mysterious world, filled with longing.
However, Lü Yun suddenly thought of a question: Since all kinds of chores can be done with magic in the world of cultivation, is there still a need for maids and servants?
She couldn't help but feel a little confused and annoyed.
The Minister of Rites quickly calmed down from his shock.
He realized that the celestial ship was suspended in mid-air, far above the ground, and they had no way to get on it, which made him a little anxious.
He turned to look at Chu Lengyu, hoping she could offer a solution.
Before he could speak, she raised her left hand, and the Azure Spirit Bracelet, emitting a blue light, flew out gracefully.
It looks like a jade bracelet, but it is actually woven from rattan and wood, and it is now spinning and disintegrating.
The slender branches absorbed spiritual energy and transformed into thick vines, climbing up the celestial boat while spreading across the ground, weaving together a vine bridge that reached the sky in just a few breaths.
It was sturdy and wide enough for wagons loaded with goods to travel on without worrying about any damage.
Just moments ago, everyone was worried about how to get up there, but unexpectedly, Chu Lengyu solved the problem in the blink of an eye.
"Is that how it was solved? That's amazing."
"This is truly divine skill! This vine bridge looks so sturdy, it's even stronger than the hardest stone bridge!"
"Yes, and look at that vine bridge, it connects the sky and the earth, it's practically a bridge between heaven and earth! I really want to walk on it and try it out!"
People were talking about it enthusiastically, and their praises were endless.
"Let's go," Chu Lengyu said, then flew onto the immortal ship first.
At her command, everyone stepped onto the vine bridge, their steps light and graceful, each step feeling like walking on clouds, their hearts filled with excitement.
With the help of this magical bridge, the representatives of Kyushu all boarded the Yao Guang Immortal Boat.
Once everyone had boarded the boat and the area had gradually become more spacious, the majestic palace gates slowly opened, and the emperor's entourage slowly walked out.
Looking up at the magnificent Yao Guang Fairy Boat, the emperor couldn't help but be shocked and said with some regret, "This scene is rarely seen in the human world. I really should have a painter record it."
Suppressing his emotions, the emperor ascended the rattan bridge.
As soon as you step onto the celestial ship, you will feel a refreshing breeze that is invigorating.
The emperor looked around and saw that the interior of the fairy boat was spacious and bright, with gorgeous furnishings. Every part was exquisitely crafted and worth admiring.
As he watched, he thought to himself: So this is how the immortals arrange their dwellings. It is truly unique. I must order someone to write it down carefully so that when I return, I can arrange my palace in the same way.
As the last person boarded the celestial vessel, the Yao Guang Celestial Vessel slowly started moving, traversing the nine heavens.
People stood on the fairy boat, looking down at the world below, where clouds and mist swirled, creating a dreamlike scene.
The mountains and rivers unfold slowly before your eyes like exquisite paintings, then rush by, breathtakingly beautiful.
They experienced the novelty and excitement of the fairy boat gliding through the clouds, as if they were in a completely new world.
At this moment, the celestial ship that was sailing freely through the sea of clouds was also discovered by the people on the ground.
The child's eyes widened in amazement as he pointed to the sky and exclaimed, "Mom, look! There's a big ship flying in the sky!"
"How could this be?" The woman initially thought the child was just being silly, and patted her own mischievous child.
However, when she looked up at the sky, she was astonished to find that the child had not lied.
The enormous celestial ship was sailing in the sky, like a moving celestial island, leaving only a faint white trail before disappearing into the clouds without a trace.
Like a dragon whose head is seen but not its tail.
Although the celestial ship sped past, traversing the nine heavens, it was protected by several layers of exquisite array shields, so that the mortals inside the ship felt no discomfort whatsoever, as if they were on stable ground, completely unaware of the fierce winds outside.
The emperor walked to the side of the boat and enjoyed the scenery.
He had always envied Chu Lengyu for being able to freely enter and leave Qingming, and longed for the carefree life of a sword immortal. Now he could finally take the opportunity to travel around freely.
Gazing into the distance, the world stretches endlessly, and I know not where I will return. Yet, I ride the divine wind, soaring ten thousand fathoms high. (Note)
This is true freedom and true ease!
The weariness from his busy schedule vanished instantly, his mind cleared, and his ambitions soared.
However, before he could fully experience it, the celestial boat slowly descended from the clouds, preparing to land.
The emperor looked down at the scenery below, his eyes widening in surprise.
Hmm? We've arrived at Mount Tai, a thousand miles away?
He never expected that the speed of the fairy boat would be so fast, and in the blink of an eye it had already crossed thousands of mountains and rivers.
The majestic Mount Tai is now right before our eyes.
