Chapter 137 Small Boat
Bai Ke didn't take Lin Xiu's harsh words to heart. Young people always need time to be tempered. One day, this kid will know how to talk to him.
Tian Ce Palace is very large, extremely large, especially Tian Ce Peak, where Bai Ke is currently located, which is the foremost of all the peaks under the jurisdiction of Tian Ce Palace.
It had long ago been forcibly moved to the core of the sect's array by those powerful figures of the Tian Ce Palace using the method of shifting the heavens and changing the sun, and was permanently suppressed in the heavenly domain.
Therefore, with Bai Ke's current limited ability to fly, he really can't reach Tiandu Peak, where the inner male disciples are located, in the short term.
Out of boredom, Bai Ke took out the item that Ning Fengyi had given him earlier. He figured that if the sect leader made a move, it must be something extraordinary, and he wondered what it was.
"What... is this?" Bai Ke stared blankly at the toy-like object in his hand.
Ning Fengyi wouldn't have just tossed him a little toy as a joke, would she...? Bai Ke suddenly remembered what Ning Fengyi had said—that it was something he used when he was young...
A chill ran down Bai Ke's spine, and he hesitated. This small boat-like thing—could it be something that old pale-faced man used to play with when he was a child? Childhood…he was young too…
Bai Ke looked up at the sky and sighed. What a mess this was! He had been so happy, thinking he had found a treasure.
Although he was somewhat resistant, judging from its appearance alone, the small boat was quite exquisite, much like the fine handicrafts Bai Ke had seen in his previous life.
"You know what... this cultivation era is amazing. They can even make handicrafts so lifelike, just like the real thing."
Bai Ke thought to himself that this small boat was like a miniature version of a traditional, ornately decorated ship, appearing to be only a few times smaller.
"Wait... countless times smaller?" Bai Ke suddenly had a flash of inspiration, feeling that he had grasped something important.
That's right, this is the era of cultivation. What can't supernatural powers and magic do? Even shrinking a boat to half the size of a palm isn't difficult, is it?
Once Bai Ke understood this, his gaze towards the small boat in his hand changed completely. If he wasn't mistaken, this was the first magic weapon he had ever created.
It's a pity that Ning Fengyi didn't tell me how to control a small boat. Shouldn't these kinds of small things in movies and TV dramas from my previous life have some special methods of control?
Just like Sun Wukong's golden cudgel, it can only grow bigger or smaller when he shouts it... Speaking of Sun Wukong's golden cudgel, Bai Ke recalls a joke he heard in his past life.
Why did the golden cudgel, which had been submerged at the bottom of the East Sea for thousands of years, only listen to Sun Wukong? This has puzzled many people.
If we were to forcefully explain it as Sun Wukong's extraordinary talent, it would actually be somewhat untenable, since there are many people with extraordinary talents, and Sun Wukong is not the only one.
At this point, someone proposed a new view: the creator of the golden cudgel was none other than Yu the Great, who tamed the floods.
This is from ancient Chinese mythology. Legend has it that Yu the Great was a descendant of the innate deity Gun, and was born with the ability to transform into a giant bear.
The story of him passing by his home three times without entering during his flood control efforts has been passed down for a long time, but this person was not concerned with how Yu the Great put public interests before private ones.
But another detail in that story that has been overlooked is that Yu the Great's wife, Tu Shan, was a genuine descendant of the nine-tailed fox demon.
Intriguingly, Tu Shan once transformed into a stone, and coincidentally, Sun Wukong was also a clever monkey who sprang from a stone.
As for Yu the Great, how a giant bear deity and a nine-tailed fox from the Tushan clan could give birth to a number 10 is not something people can concern themselves with.
Of course, this is just speculation, merely a new perspective put forward by busybodies, and should not be taken seriously.
The reason for mentioning this story is that, whether on Earth or in this era of cultivation, all magical artifacts always have their own special methods of control.
This is like the phone Bai Ke used in his previous life. Everyone has one, but it also needs to use some anti-theft methods such as fingerprint recognition and facial recognition.
Bai Ke had heard of the so-called blood oath ceremony, but he had already dripped a drop of blood on it at the beginning, yet nothing changed.
Could it be that he needs his essence blood? Bai Ke wondered to himself. However, he had heard of some evil and strange methods such as curses, and he didn't dare to force out his essence blood without understanding the truth.
This essence blood contains a trace of his own soul's origin. Even a drop from a zombie would severely damage one's vitality, which is why he was so hesitant to act rashly.
Knowing that this small boat might be a magical artifact, yet having no idea how to use it, is a feeling that's hard to describe.
Bai Ke felt as if he had finally managed to get a date with a girl he had been longing for, but he couldn't get an erection, a feeling of frustration and helplessness.
Within the Tian Ce Palace, beneath the sect's array, a handsome man dressed in moon-white silk robes flew through the air, ethereal and otherworldly like a banished immortal, attracting considerable attention.
"Wow! Who is that senior? How come he looks so young? So handsome..." A female disciple's eyes were sparkling wildly.
Well... no matter what world you're in, good looks are justice. This statement is always an irrefutable truth, and it applies everywhere.
"Hmph! Maybe some old monster forcibly transformed into this form? Who at this age can fly alone?"
A male disciple who looked rather shrewd curled his lip, showing disdain for the female disciple's infatuated behavior.
"That's right, to be able to fly, one must at least be at the Nascent Soul Realm... Who among our peers can reach that level? Even Senior Brother Lin Xiu is only at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm..."
It seemed that a rather rational disciple had emerged, and his analysis was quite logical and reasonable. The disciples around him nodded in agreement with his judgment.
A Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, capable of flying independently, would be considered a sect elder in any place other than the three overlords of the Heavenly Strategy Palace.
It was only in the Tian Ce Palace that there were many great cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm. They either continued their cultivation in hopes of forming their Nascent Soul, or were sent out to become high-ranking officials in various regions.
In short, even though there are quite a few Yuan Shen realm cultivators in Tian Ce Palace, very few of them actually show up in public.
Unfortunately, although those at the Nascent Soul Realm could serve as elders in other sects, in the Heavenly Strategy Palace, their cultivation level was still a whole level below that.
The ironclad rule of the Tian Ce Palace sect is that only those at the Nascent Soul stage can serve as sect elders and assume sect positions. Those who break through to the Void Reversal stage will automatically be promoted to the Supreme level and enjoy the sect's support as a foundation.
"Hmph! It's just the Nascent Soul Realm. One day I will break through to the Nascent Soul Realm and soar through the sky," the disciple secretly encouraged himself.
