The elevation difference between the summit and the ground is only about two thousand meters.

However, under Geng Xuan's best efforts to control him, when he glided through the air for more than 20 miles and arrived directly above the military camp on the riverbank, he was still nearly 100 meters above the ground.

If he does his best, Geng Xuan believes he can continue gliding forward.

However, there is no need for that at the moment.

The body, which was originally moving forward at high speed, immediately changed from a slow descent to a rapid dive with a subtle adjustment in posture.

With this adjustment, the speed increased dramatically.

The heavy, boundless earth immediately rushed towards his face.

Soon, the wide city wall built of rammed earth came into view.

Just as his figure was about to "stick" hard to the city wall, his body, which was originally diving downwards, suddenly turned around and rose upwards like a spring up from dry land.

The speed, so fast it left an afterimage, rapidly decreased as the body rose higher.

After his body rose nearly ten meters in reverse, the astonishing speed was completely neutralized.

After reaching this high point, Geng Xuan's figure hovered briefly in the air before turning around and falling down.

Soon, Geng Xuan's feet landed steadily on the city wall.

Her posture was composed and graceful.

Whether intentional or coincidental, he landed precisely where Yu Hou had stood earlier.

All around him, astonished faces, like sunflowers in the morning sun, followed his every move from the moment he appeared in their sight.

At first, there were some strange noises and disturbances.

But soon, all the strange noises disappeared.

On and off the city walls, inside and outside the military camp, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

This also includes the group of people standing with him on the city wall, just inches away at this moment.

These people were all highly skilled, either elites of the Iron Feather Guard or high-ranking members of the Guard Army.

They were stationed here to guard against an attack by the "Black Wind Army".

Now, all attention is focused on Geng Xuan.

When Geng Xuan landed smoothly, he felt that the atmosphere around him was too quiet, so he glanced at the people around him.

His gaze, which was otherwise ordinary, seemed to contain a strange power, like a strong wind blowing through a quiet wheat field.

Wherever it went, people and horses immediately fell over.

"...Is it really that exaggerated?"

Geng Xuan was taken aback.

However, their behavior dispelled his idea of ​​having a conversation with them first.

Take a few steps forward and you'll reach the edge of the city wall.

Turning his head to look south, his gaze passed over the Canglan River and beyond the rugged mountains, where figures leaped into his line of sight one after another.

The first person to come into his view was the High Priest of the Holy Mountain.

Although his body couldn't escape the earth's gravity, his rapid, close-to-the-ground movement still gave the impression of a light, gliding flight.

Soon, just as the figure of the High Priest of the Holy Mountain arrived at the banks of the Azure Cloud River, preparing to cross it.

Another figure rudely entered his line of sight.

Straight, fast, and powerful.

It was like a heavy iron-feathered arrow suddenly shot out from the mountains beyond sight.

It seemed capable of tearing everything apart; nothing could stop it.

The second figure to rush out of the mountains and rapidly approach the Canglan River was naturally Yu Hou. As Geng Xuan looked at the two, the others on the city wall also saw their appearance.

At another time, their behavior would have been enough to intimidate all the witnesses.

But at this moment, seeing the two return, all the witnesses were unusually calm, with no obvious ripples in their hearts.

Marquis Yu is one thing.

The High Priest of the Holy Mountain not only performed amazingly, but he was also a complete stranger. The group of people on the city wall who saw him appear had no idea of ​​his appearance and did not know his identity or background. However, in terms of speed and agility alone, he was slightly better than Yu Hou.

If the time and place were different, this would have been enough to stir up a storm in the hearts of these witnesses.

But now, they are all "as still as water".

In this eerie atmosphere, the High Priest of the Holy Mountain and Yu Hou crossed the Canglan River one after the other and soon arrived in front of Geng Xuan.

The two people who stood not far from Geng Xuan looked at him with extremely complicated expressions.

Compared to their outward appearance, their emotional turmoil is even more intense.

This was after they had traveled a long way and their emotions had mostly calmed down.

The High Priest of the Holy Mountain said in a hoarse voice:

"You're using... the Skywalking Technique?"

Upon hearing this, Geng Xuan asked in surprise, "Sky Travel Technique? You've seen it before?"

The high priest of the holy mountain shook his head and said:
“I’ve never seen it, but I’ve heard of the ‘Three Questions of Emperor Yuan’.”

Geng Xuan nodded slightly.

The so-called "Three Questions of Emperor Yuan" are the "Question on the Movement of Earth", the "Question on the Movement of Water", and the "Question on the Movement of Heaven".

The answers to the first two questions were already available during the reign of Emperor Yuan.

The "answer" is the two secret arts: "Earth Movement" and "Water Movement".

According to this pattern, the "Question of Heavenly Movement" should also give rise to a "Technique of Heavenly Movement".

Geng Xuan's unwavering commitment, even to the point of being "obsessed," also stems from this initial "original aspiration."

I ask you, which cultivator who has ever heard of the "Three Questions of the Primordial Emperor" can resist the temptation to solve the "Question of Heavenly Path"?
Therefore, the High Priest of the Holy Mountain, who had witnessed Geng Xuan fly more than twenty miles, couldn't wait to ask the question the moment they reunited.

When asked, Geng Xuan smiled but remained silent, offering no direct response.

Instead, he looked at Yu Hou, who stood silently beside the High Priest of the Holy Mountain, and asked:

"These are all my shallow tricks... I wonder if I'm qualified to impress you?"

Upon hearing his pretentious question, Yu Hou, who thought he was already adept at concealing his emotions, found his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

He took a deep breath before saying:

"Impressed."

Just before he uttered those words, he actually wanted to retort.

After all, if this "nineteen-year-old youth" in front of him really mastered the true "Skywalking Technique," he wouldn't need to go all the way to the peak more than twenty miles away; he could just leap around on the spot.

However, these emotions vanished completely the moment the words left his mouth.

They gave only a simple and clear response.

Geng Xuan looked at Yu Hou, who said "I'm convinced" but whose feet were rooted to the spot and wouldn't move further, tilted his head, and asked in confusion:
"Then what are you waiting for?"

Upon hearing this, the texture of the masseter muscles faintly appeared on Yu Hou's cheeks.

However, he soon knelt down on one knee in full view of everyone, facing Geng Xuan, and said in a deep voice, "Commander!"

Geng Xuan, who had been feigning doubt, immediately smiled brightly, like a blooming flower.

In his view, the moment Yu Hou bowed, the transformation from "outsider" to "one of his own" was completed. (End of Chapter)
