"By the way, you should go with us," Ziyu said.
"No need, we trust the young brother, and Chief Liao has already gone. If we go, it will just cause more trouble," Xiaoxuan's parents replied.
"Alright, we will make sure to safely deliver the two children to the Mystic Practitioner Academy," Ziyu assured.
Although this world was a bit strange, with the likelihood of small beings causing big troubles being over ninety percent, Ziyu still preferred the rustic atmosphere here. At least after getting used to the taste of technology, a bit of ancient style was refreshing.
Ziyu now had a plan: to become a Transcendent. Only by becoming a Transcendent could one truly stand in this world and obtain that so-called Solar Divine Essence.
"But why is it called Solar Divine Essence..." Ziyu frowned; the word "sun" was a language unique to Earth.
"Never mind..." Ziyu had returned to the small village. Ye Ling had already fallen asleep beside him, and Ziyu didn't think much more about it before collapsing onto the bed and falling asleep.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
"Alright, it's time for us to set off today," Ziyu said as he stood at the door, looking at the distant mountains.
"You all need to be careful on your journey," Xiaoxuan's parents had stayed in the village for these three days to accompany their daughter since they were about to part ways.
"Don't worry, we will definitely arrive safely," Ziyu smiled and said, "Even if we encounter danger, it will be us who die first."
"Thank you so much, young brother," Xiaoxuan's parents quickly expressed their gratitude.
"Alright, let's get going. The horse can't wait any longer," Ziyu said as he patted the horse pulling the cart.
The group boarded the cart and disappeared from Xiaoxuan's parents' sight.
“Liao Village Chief, I didn't have much exposure to things like Transcendent in my family before. How do you cultivate spiritual power?” Ziyu asked on the carriage.
“It seems that Ziyu's family specializes in the way of Puppet...” Liao Village Chief replied. “This spiritual power is transformed from the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth through veins. The method of absorbing Spiritual Energy is what we usually refer to as the Cultivation Method.”
There are both good and bad Cultivation Methods. The speed at which a person can absorb Spiritual Energy can vary several times depending on whether they practice a good or bad Cultivation Method.
Moreover, the conversion ability of the Cultivation Method also differs. After absorbing Spiritual Energy, it must be converted into spiritual power and stored in the Dantian.
The way to use spiritual power is similar to Liao Village Chief's fireball, which is called Mystical Arts.
Of course, everything is graded, and these will all be understood at the Mystic Practitioner Academy.
“There are many wild beasts in these mountains, so everyone should be careful, especially not to let the beasts eat the horses,” Liao Village Chief said. Although he hadn't ventured far, he was quite familiar with the nearby mountainous areas.
In these mountains, losing a horse could be quite troublesome.
“Little one, what did you do before?” Ziyu asked.
Before, naturally referring to his past life in the Original Universe.
“Of course, if there's anything you don't want to say, you don't have to,” Ziyu smiled and said.
“I used to be an Interstellar Wanderer, and then I was killed by a cosmic creature. It was quite unexpected,” said Liao Village Chief's grandson, Liao Rong.
“Alas…” Liao Village Chief sighed softly from the corner.
Although his voice was very low and his actions were subtle, it still caught Ziyu's attention.
"It seems that there are still some matters at play here. Liao Rong is going to the Mystic Practitioner Academy to become stronger, which indicates he has a certain goal in mind," Ziyu thought to himself.
However, this was someone else's business. Moreover, Ziyu was currently helping the old man, Liao Village Chief.
"By comparison, it’s clear that Xiaoxuan is truly a very innocent child," Ziyu mused.
"By the way, there are rumors that there are fierce beasts around here," Liao Village Chief suddenly said.
Xiaoxuan visibly shuddered, her big eyes staring at Liao Village Chief: "Grandpa Liao, are there really fierce beasts here?"
It seemed that Xiaoxuan was quite afraid of the beasts.
"However, many people have come into the city from here without any issues; it might just be a rumor," Liao Village Chief said with a smile.
Xiaoxuan appeared to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Is Xiaoxuan very afraid of fierce beasts?" Ziyu asked.
Humans can cultivate, and so can fierce beasts. Cultivated wild animals become fierce beasts, which are stronger and more agile. Some intelligent ones can even perform Mystical Arts.
"I’ve heard that fierce beasts are terrifying, and when our planet was destroyed before, a whole bunch of strange wild animals came," Xiaoxuan said.
"I see," Ziyu nodded.
When hearing about a bunch of strange wild animals, Ziyu immediately thought of the Zerg, but since the Zerg had only recently emerged, the timing didn’t match up. It was likely that what destroyed Xiaoxuan's planet were some intelligent beings.
"Whoa..." A shadow flashed past the back of the carriage, making no sound other than the wind.
"There is movement." Although the shadow passed by very stealthily, it could not escape the ears of the two exceptionally powerful robots.
The sound of something cutting through the air was definitely different from the natural wind.
"Something just passed behind us," the Emperor said. "Everyone, be cautious."
Ziyu and a few others moved slightly toward the door of the carriage to be ready to exit at any moment.
"From the side!" The shadow was incredibly fast; Emperor Chah sensed it on the side, but by the time he spoke, the shadow had already reached the front.
"The horse..." The pulling horse whinnied softly a few times but then fell silent.
"This is bad. In the past, we always went in groups, so the beasts might not have been alert enough to come out. But now we are short-handed; they might have already taken action," Liao Village Chief said.
When there are many people, the beasts won't come out. It's not about whether they can win or lose; it's that if one escapes and goes to inform others, no one will come to this mountain, and the beasts will have nothing to eat.
Ziyu slightly moved aside the curtain and discovered that the pulling horse had vanished. The carriage remained in place, but the ropes were all severed.
"Liao Village Chief, take care of the two children. Ye Ling, Zero, Emperor, let's go out and protect the carriage." Ziyu sidestepped and jumped out while gripping Kallok Metal Sword in hand.
"One person on each side; don't let the beasts get close," Ziyu instructed.
The four stood at each side of the carriage, preparing to confront the beasts.
"Whoa..." After a moment, the shadow reappeared, but since it was daytime, it was still visible.
"Ye Ling, it's coming towards you," Zero said as both Zero and Ziyu rushed toward Ye Ling's side.
"Don't come over, I'm alone," Ye Ling said. "If there are more people, it might not come over."
Indeed, this beast was drawn to Ye Ling because she was a girl; after all, on the surface, Ye Ling appeared to be a relatively delicate girl.
"Get away!" Ye Ling focused on the trajectory of the shadow rushing toward her, shook her spear, thrust it forward, and then pushed it to the side with force.
The shadow was struck by the spear and flew toward Zero.
Zero, being a Mechanical Life, had an incredibly tough body. Naturally, Zero reached out and pulled the shadow down to the ground, pinning it down.
"This isn't a beast; it's called a Shadow Wolf, known for its speed and stealth," Liao Village Chief's head popped out as he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What about the horse?" Ziyu asked.
This wolf was quite large and indeed intimidating.
"The Shadow Wolf is also very strong. It must have bitten the horse in that instant and dragged it away," Liao Village Chief said.
Ziyu looked around and soon spotted the horse about a hundred meters away. At that moment, the horse still had some breath left, but it seemed unlikely to survive. Ziyu decided to end its suffering.
"This wolf is a very clever type. Let's have it pull us along," Ziyu said as he placed his sword on the wolf's body and tied it with a rope.
Ziyu sat at the front, keeping his sword pointed outward as a warning to the Shadow Wolf.
"We should hurry up; Shadow Wolves are pack animals, and a pack will likely arrive soon," Liao Village Chief said.
"Okay, let's go." With his sword pointing ahead and making a gesture, the Shadow Wolf obediently began to pull the cart along.
"This Shadow Wolf is indeed very spiritual," Ziyu said with a smile, shaking his head. "And it runs even faster than a horse."
A day later.
"Once we go down the mountain and walk a bit further, we'll reach that City. It's quite remote here, and even the City doesn't have a name," Liao Village Chief said.
This City has no name, and the higher-ups don't bother with it. The city lord only needs to provide tributes and pay money on time; this place is entirely under the city lord's control.
Ziyu and his companions didn't encounter anything special along the way, but... they had only traveled part of the distance to this Nameless City.
"Inspection before entering the city," the guard stopped Ziyu's carriage.
The guard glanced at Shadow Wolf, said nothing, but walked around it slightly as he began to check the items in the carriage.
Even though this city had no oversight from higher authorities, the city lord still maintained a semblance of order.
"Alright, you can go."
"I have quite a bit of money with me. Let's take a break here and find an inn," Liao Village Chief suggested.
Inside the inn. Ziyu and Ye Ling's room.
"Do you think that in the Original Universe, they refer to it as hotels or lodges? Why is it called an inn here? Do we need to get used to it after reincarnation?" Ye Ling asked.
Since this is a space brought over from Reincarnation, the naming conventions should follow those of the Original Universe.
"I don't know about that. It might be a habit formed over time in this space, and everyone who comes here adapts to this world," Ziyu replied. "After traveling for so long, let's rest well."
"Mm." Ye Ling said softly, then burrowed into the blanket, placing her hand on Ziyu's body.
"In fact, as long as we can live, this isn't bad at all," Ziyu thought to herself as she closed her eyes.
The next day.
"We're not in a hurry; let's just wander around this city for a bit. Who knows, there might be some interesting things to see. We should relax a little since we still have a long way to go," Liao Village Chief suggested.
"Sounds good; let's explore this city," Ziyu agreed, happy to take a break.
This City was indeed not very developed, but there were many people, and most importantly, there was a variety of goods available.
This was the only city nearby; where else could they buy daily necessities?
"Make way! Let the young master pass first!"
A commotion erupted.
