Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 6 Astrological Calendar 4000 – To the Present

The incident in Cangcheng seems like a mere coincidence, and activating a planet doesn't happen by chance.

perhaps?

Something that escaped from the activated planet last time will surely become a major threat in the future.

Yun Zhixiang suggested to Lan that he would first lie in wait on the Immortal Ship for a period of time, the exact duration of which was uncertain, while waiting for the thing that had activated the Devouring Realm Rahu to come to him.

Are you sure he'll go to the Immortal Ship?

Lan asked.

Yun nodded: "If it doesn't achieve its goal, that thing probably won't give up. Being able to control and activate a planet means it's at least an Envoy. I'll go and keep an eye on things."

Go ahead, and be careful in everything you do.

Then, he stayed on the Luofu Immortal Ship for a long time.

The Luofu Immortal Ship is the premier among all immortal ships. Apart from the general who commands the Cloud Cavalry as his envoy, the Moon Drinker, a descendant of the immortal dragon and a member of the Wisdom Clan, is also here.

Speaking of the Vidyadharas... Yun Zhi admits that he doesn't like them.

Chiming always relied on his status as an immortal dragon descendant, looking down on the immortal beings of the Immortal Boat and despising those short-lived beings. When the Immortal Boat wanted to form an alliance with Chiming, Yunzhi's first reaction was to refuse.

Later, the generation of Yinyue Junyu sacrificed the sacred land of Linyuan Realm, drawing water from the ancient sea to submerge the Jianmu Xuangen. Yun Zhicai didn't say anything about this sacrifice.

As for the internal contradictions within the Ming Dynasty?

They solved it themselves.

You can't just move to someone else's territory without paying any price, can you? Don't be ridiculous.

Some might ask why Yunzhi keeps meddling in the affairs of the Immortal Ship, even though Lan is always with him on the hunt.

He usually doesn't interfere, and neither does Lan. He gave the Immortal Boat a complete blessing because it is his homeland and an important force for him to fight against the Abundant People. Otherwise, given the state of the Star God, Lan shouldn't have interfered.

Yunzhi has more freedom, and at most he will come back to take a look when the Immortal Ship is about to be in trouble. However, for major events that are enough to affect the survival of the Immortal Ship, both Lan and Yunzhi have to pay close attention.

Such was the alliance between the Wisdom Clan and the Immortal Ship.

Initially, Yun Zhichuan did disagree with the marshal's message.

However, the marshal later said that Chiming could help them suppress Jianmu, and Yun Zhicai nodded.

It's easy to imagine how much Yunzhi disliked these guys back then.

However, the Wisdom Clan did not become arrogant simply because they contributed to the Holy Land. Although a considerable number of them still considered themselves superior, the other Wisdom Clan members got along quite well with the Immortal Ship people.

In this generation of the immortal ship Luofu, a small group called "Five Heroes of the Clouds" emerged. Five heroes from different immortal ships gathered together. When the Fengrao people led an astonishing army to attack the Jade Palace Immortal Ship, the five of them braved the perilous terrain, successfully broke through the formation, and even shattered the living star awakened by the Fengrao people, thus saving the Jade Palace from destruction.

Among them are fox-people skilled in archery, the current sword master of Luofu, a short-lived craftsman with excellent skills, and Yunqi Xiaowei, who is said to have been internally selected as the next general. Chiming Longzun Yinyuejun is also among them.

Not long after the crisis at Jade Palace subsided, the envoy of Abundance suddenly led a large army to approach Luofu, intending to seize Jianmu. At that moment, Yunzhi's mind was filled with thoughts like, "Why not just uproot Jianmu and give it to him?"

But that won't work; even after capturing Jianmu, they won't necessarily retreat immediately.

Yun Zhi unleashed his full power, mounted his warhorse, and, longbow in hand, engaged Shu Hu in battle. Although Yun Zhi possessed great strength, Shu Hu's form was merely a fleeting, ever-changing shadow of flesh and blood. He unleashed "Blood Prison Boundary" to confuse the mind and spirit. Yun Zhi fired several arrows at the shadow, but none of them hit their mark.

He held them back for a moment, but the battle situation below was not good. This time, the Fengrao people were really strong, and the Yunqi army was almost wiped out.

Limited by the combat method, even though Yunzhi was stronger than Shuhu, he was temporarily stuck in a stalemate. Yinyuejun transformed into a dragon and rushed up to help him, but it was only a drop in the ocean. He almost fell into dragon frenzy due to Shuhu's influence.

Playing for too long can get frustrating.

So Yunzhi decided to turn around and hug Lan's rear wheel.

Before the message for help could be sent, a white-haired fox-man suddenly rode up in a starship, and as it passed by him, it seemed to smile at him.

Yunzhi saw that the girl was holding a pitch-black sun in her hands.

Suihuang?

Driven by the clouds, the warhorse first kicked Yin Yuejun off the battlefield, then rushed to the Star Chariot, snatched the "Black Sun," threw it in the direction of the swift movement, and quickly turned around to take the fox-woman away from the battlefield.

Then, in an instant, it was blasted into dust by the black sun.

Suihuang, you truly live up to your reputation.

Therefore, to deal with the sudden attack, you still need to use area-of-effect skills instead of single-target damage.

These words popped into my head at an inopportune moment. Although they praised Emperor Sui, it didn't seem to matter anymore.

We don't need Lan's help anymore, which is good. If Lan hadn't controlled her arrow properly, the immortal ship would probably have been blown to pieces.

He landed with the fox-woman, and died suddenly. The war situation became clear. Yunzhi fired three arrows at the war against the bountiful people. The arrows left the bowstring and made a series of explosions.

The war that tore apart the prosperous people was successfully countered by the Luofu Cloud Cavalry, but this war resulted in heavy casualties.

Despite the help of the First Envoy of the Hunt, such heavy casualties still occurred. Not only was the morale of the Immortal Ship low, but even Yun Zhi himself began to doubt himself.

Is it because we've lived in peace for too long that our skills have declined?

Perhaps we should consider doing something else.

The morale of the Immortal Ship was easy to recover, but Yunzhi's emotions were not so easily revived.

However, he then thought of the Bright Dragon Lord Drinking Moon Lord, Danfeng.

Ah, he must have had too many prejudices against the Vidyadharas in the past.

After all, the Dragon Lord himself went to the battlefield, so what else could he say?

The Vidyadharas are actually quite good. Just ignore that small group of arrogant individuals; there's no need to get angry with them.

Unfortunately, Yunzhi didn't maintain this optimistic attitude for long.

After General Teng Xiao's death in battle, Yunqi Xiaowei Jing Yuan became the new General of Luofu. The war left him with too many messes, and he was very busy.

Yun Zhi seemed to have disappeared from Luofu, but in fact he was still in Luofu, watching the immortal ship slowly awaken from the shadow of war, and also to guard against external attacks on the current Luofu.

The reason he didn't leave was because he always felt that it wasn't over yet.

It's definitely not over yet.

When a strange giant dragon emerged from the Scaled Abyss Realm, Yun Zhi's long-abandoned memories suddenly resurfaced, giving him a sense of déjà vu, as if he had accidentally entered a celestial vessel.

—What is that, the dragon Durin?

—Wait, who is creating dragons in the Scale Abyss Realm?
