Chapter 391
Chapter Title: Heavenly Realm
Shiiik!
As soon as the battle ended, the Cult Leader shot toward the Imperial Palace using a terrifyingly fast flight technique. The Dharma Protectors followed him, but when I tried to use my own, I felt a pang of difficulty.
'I can't fly...'
Flight technique.
It was a lightness skill that allowed one to soar freely through the skies, something you could never find in the martial world. Before seeing the Dharma Protectors myself, I'd thought it was just fictional nonsense from novels, and nine out of ten martial artists probably felt the same. Spotting a transcendent expert who could use Heavenly Ascent or Treading the Air was rarer than a star in the sky—how could anyone believe a human could fly like a bird? Even top experts like Lee Hwang or the Sword Demon couldn't dream of it; in real combat, they only occasionally used variant absolute techniques like Heavenly Ascent or Treading the Air.
But the Dharma Protectors and the Cult Leader could do it. With infinite internal energy from the Heavenly Spirit Pill and the Primordial Infant Spirit, flying through the skies was no issue. If they wanted, they could probably hover in the air all day.
The problem was that I couldn't use the flight technique they employed. I'd once asked the Cult Leader if he could teach it to me, but he said that while my internal energy was sufficient, it required supreme mastery of lightness skills, so I couldn't learn it in a short time. According to him, to use flight technique, one needed to wield Initial Supreme Flight, Snowless Footprints, and Heavenly Ascent with complete freedom.
I could use Annihilation Soul Step, giving me exceptional speed and quality in lightness skills, but that relied entirely on the unique properties of Annihilation Soul Step itself. My pure training time in lightness skill principles and insights was relatively short, so while I was proficient, I hadn't reached the master's realm yet. Flight technique was impossible for me right now.
