Release of the fairyland blue bird, the witch said she couldn't stand it

Chapter 265 Flying Swords Are Inferior

Young Master Long Xiang noticed that some cultivators were indeed looking at him.

But they quickly turned their attention to the row of eye-catching flying cars in front of the Paradise Park, and I could hear them chattering away:
"An old relic, I don't know what he's showing off."

"He must have thought he was the old marshal who came down from the airship."

"What a fat, big-eared guy who's handsome!"

"Shh!"

Someone tugged at the robes of the monk next to them:

"He's the young master of Longxiang! The only son of the Taixu Sword Master, and a high-ranking executive at Paradise Land! Are you out of your mind?!"

Upon hearing this, the cultivator smiled confidently:
"So what? The more powerful he is, the more it highlights my inferiority. If he dares to bare his teeth at me, I'll start a live stream and create a new account on the spot!"

"That'll definitely be a hit."

On the other side, Young Master Longxiang consulted some friends and finally managed to accept reality.

The general meaning is
Is my flying boat, which costs nearly 100 million spirit stones to build, already outdated?

It can't be said to be outdated.

At the very least, it has lost its prestige.

It gives people the feeling that their ancestors were once glorious, but now they have fallen into decline.

That won't work!

Young Master Long Xiang roared and rushed into the inner field. He was determined to get dozens of these flying cars!
This moment was captured on camera and uploaded online.

Soon, various marketing accounts started creating content:
[Shocking! The world of cultivation vehicles has undergone a complete transformation! Traditional flying swords have suffered a devastating blow?!]

[Young Master Long Xiang bursts into tears in front of the ultra-luxury flying car, simply because his immortal ship is outdated?]

[Shocking! Flying cars may lead the next trend in the Spiritual Continent!]

A new opportunity has arrived, and I have a hundred plans to make a fortune through racing!

After garnering enough attention...

The hundred flying cars slowly started moving.

With a series of roars, it spewed out several tail flames, which then transformed into a dazzling stream of light that shot straight into the sky.

Sensing the darkness, the automatic headlights instantly turned on, illuminating the way for these drivers.

Several flamboyant car owners deliberately rolled down their windows, braving the strong wind to toss their hair and strike a pose.

The flying car has no engine.

Both the exhaust flame and the sound were added at Jiang Chen's insistence.

There's a formation connecting the front and rear of the car at the accelerator pedal; the deeper you press it, the louder the noise.

The senior executives of Fire Valley, who had previously received the order, felt that the president's actions were completely unnecessary and superfluous, as these steps would greatly reduce their production efficiency.

But now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I've found that the overall feel of the flying car has been elevated after these things were added.

Looking at the stylish silhouettes of those speeding cars.

The countless cultivators in front of the Land of Joy all wore expressions of envy and longing.

Don’t say anything else.

If they're driving flying cars right now, what would it look like if you were riding a sword alongside them?
Follower? Henchman? Or bodyguard?

If someone steps on the gas and you follow behind on your sword, you can only eat their exhaust flames.

Some jealous monks still made sarcastic remarks:

"Making such a big fuss is just to attract attention, to be a show-off."

"The 'ghost fire boy' seems to want everyone to know he has a flying car."

"He just wants to show off, everyone knows what he's really thinking."

One cultivator, feigning knowledge, shook his head indifferently at the female cultivator beside him and said:

"Showy but impractical, it does not conform to the detached and simple nature of us who cultivate the Tao."

After speaking, he summoned his flying sword and then said gently to the female cultivator:
"Junior sister, let's go back to the sect. You can just scroll through Douyin in the back. I'll use hand seals to block the gale for you."

This statement came out.

The innocent-looking junior sister with light makeup also came to her senses. She looked at the dry, lifeless flying sword.

He looked up again at the dashing figure of the flying car.

The junior sister couldn't help but ask with great anticipation:
"Senior brother, will we be able to ride in a flying car in the future?"

"Hmph, what's so great about that stuff? Only kids like it. Wouldn't it be better to use that money to take you out for some barbecue and hot pot?"

"But."

The junior sister looked longingly at the flying car that was about to disappear from sight:
"But how many spirit stones would it cost to eat and drink? Look."

"Oh, no buts, hurry up and get on your flying sword. Your senior brother took a day off just to watch the match with you. After I take you back to the sect, I'm rushing to Fire Refining Valley to work on the snails."

In the past, would he have done anything special for his unsophisticated and low-class junior sister?
But now a pure and innocent junior sister style has become popular on Douyin.

There is also a matching outfit and makeup.

You know what, after the junior sister, who was originally ignored, did some styling, her looks are just as good as those of those internet celebrities with hundreds of thousands of followers.

Only then did he abandon his senior brother status and come over to relentlessly pursue and flatter her.

"Junior sister, let's go."

"Ah."

The junior sister's expectation was overshadowed by a layer of disappointment, and she jumped onto the flying sword with a wronged expression.

Only when the last wisp of flame from the flying car disappeared into the horizon did everyone silently summon their flying swords and prepare to leave.

No one admits it, but the shame of flying on a sword has haunted him ever since.

Perhaps they didn't even realize that they were too embarrassed to use their swords in front of the flying car, and only took out their swords and set off after the car's taillights had disappeared.

No need to wait until tomorrow.

Tonight, Douyin's trending topics were filled with racing games.

On average, someone starts discussing racing games every few videos I watch.

This allowed many cultivators who didn't play Eternal Calamity Elite to quickly learn about the new vehicle, the flying car.

Meanwhile, the discussion surrounding the top trending topic began to skyrocket.

Do you think flying cars will completely replace flying swords?

This highly topical question sparked heated discussions among many cultivators:
“It can’t be completely replaced! Perhaps some cultivators will buy it to try it out because it’s novel for a while, but in the end, it will still come back to flying swords. This is a tradition left by our ancestors. How can we just throw it away?”

“That’s right. Since its inception, the flying sword has been our consistent flying magic weapon. How could it be easily replaced?”

"Flying on a sword must be the dream of every cultivator in their youth, right? As the saying goes, what cannot be obtained in youth will eventually trap one for life. It is not easy to reach the level of cultivation that allows one to fly on a sword, which is incomparable to those soulless flying cars."

"Flying swords are a unique kind of romance for cultivators."

These views quickly drew rebuttals from the opposition:

"I disagree with your views. We need to keep up with the times and look forward. If everyone held onto their stubborn and conservative views, would our Spirit Qi Continent have developed to this point?"

"Exactly! Forget about our ancestors' traditions. They used to catch monsters as mounts. Try catching one now and see if the animal protection association will tear you apart!"

"Yes, before flying swords were created, would those ancestors who rode demonic beasts have imagined that in later generations there would be a scene of a person with a sword traveling the world?"

"Don't even mention our ancestors. Before we had cell phones, there was no barbecue or milk tea. If you think our ancestors were so great, then don't play on your phone, don't eat delicious food, and don't enjoy the benefits that the new era brings you."

this.
The conservatives were speechless for a moment, and the last highly-rated answer was simply the finishing blow.

However, some rational and objective opinions also expressed a more moderate view:

"Whether it's a flying sword or a flying car, use whichever you like. There's no rule that says you can't ride a flying car if you're riding a sword, or vice versa. Just treat it as an elite of the Eternal Tribulation. Both the Xianxia and the hot-weapon styles have their own audiences."

"Sigh, if I were a few thousand years younger, I might enjoy the joy of being one with the sword, but now I have a wife and children, and when I'm out and about, I like to make sure they have a comfortable environment so they don't have to be exposed to the wind and sun."

"Yeah, what are we working so hard at Fire Refining Valley for? Isn't it so that the people we care about can live a good life?"

"Cultivating immortality requires following one's heart, and I choose flying cars from the bottom of my heart."

"Don't embarrass yourself. You're just vain. You want to give your family a good life, so you have to buy a flying car? You want to show off, so you buy some clothes, gifts, and cosmetics? You want to be practical, so you buy some good food and drinks. You want to be romantic, so you go to the Snow Lotus Sect's yellow car and buy a bouquet of roses from the Daoist Couple Shop. Why do you have to buy a flying car?"

"No? Is it wrong for me to be vain? Besides, sitting in the flying car, my father can stand up straight in front of his old friends, my Daoist partner can hold her head high in front of her best friends, and my son will not be inferior to his playmates!"

Both sides held their own opinions and argued all night without reaching a conclusion.

The first auto show opened as scheduled at noon the following day.
