Chapter 13180 West Desert City

Long Chen could feel that this cloud contained tremendous power and endless mysteries, as if it could see through the heavens and earth and control the wind and clouds.

"So, this is the true art of controlling clouds." Long Chen marveled in his heart. He knew very well that even a powerful person like himself in the Heavenly Man Realm could not reach the level that Ling Xiao was showing at the moment in terms of the precision and freedom of energy control.

This kind of understanding and achievement that transcends the realm makes Long Chen feel admiration for Ling Xiao.

"That's awesome, big brother!" Long Chen couldn't help but blurt out, his voice full of sincere admiration and emotion.

He understood that the level of realm could not completely determine a warrior's strength and achievements. What was more important was the understanding of martial arts, self-transcendence and the persistent pursuit of goals.

Ling Xiao proved this with his actions. He interpreted the true meaning of martial arts in his own way, allowing Long Chen to deeply feel what it means to "be better than the master."

Along the way, the sunlight shone through the sparse clouds, scattering patches of light on the pair of warriors walking side by side. The two of them practiced while traveling, as if time had become both long and urgent for them.

Ling Xiao's steps were steady and powerful, and each step seemed to stir up circles of ripples in the air that were invisible to the naked eye. That was proof of the energy surging in his body and resonating with the laws of nature.

As time went by, his control over the cloud-shaped martial arts became more and more relaxed. The cloud seemed to have become a part of his body, changing its shape according to his will, sometimes like a dragon soaring into the sky, sometimes like a phoenix dancing in the clouds. The ease and agility of his skill made people admire him.

Based on a deep memory in his mind, Ling Xiao creatively named this martial art "Somersault Cloud".

That memory came from a distant and mysterious blue planet, where there was a legend about a powerful god named the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. It was said that this great sage could control the somersault cloud and travel 108,000 miles in an instant. That speed and power made countless creatures yearn for it.

Although Ling Xiao's somersault cloud at this moment is far from comparable to the legendary Great Sage, it is not inferior to those airships in the martial arts world that rely on complex mechanisms and runes to drive.

The somersault cloud not only gave Ling Xiao amazing speed, but also allowed him to feel an indescribable freedom and joy during flight, as if the whole world was spreading out beneath his feet.

If Ling Xiao chose to use the Somersault Cloud to escape in a critical moment, even a martial arts master who had reached the Heavenly Man Realm would find it difficult to catch up with him in a short period of time. This speed was undoubtedly one of his most valuable means of saving his life in this martial arts world full of dangers.

However, Ling Xiao also knew in his heart that this was only an ideal scenario. In real battles, the strong often mastered various powerful martial arts that could imprison people and block space. Once trapped in their territory, even the speed of the Somersault Cloud would be difficult to display.

Therefore, he did not dare to be careless at all and remained vigilant at all times to ensure that he had adequate response plans when facing any emergency.

"Brother, that towering building ahead is the important town on the border of Western Wasteland - Western Wasteland City." Long Chen stopped and looked into the distance. He gently stroked the sky with his finger, pointing to the city that was shining with metallic luster in the sun, and his tone was filled with awe and yearning.

"This West Wasteland City, as the second largest city in the West Wasteland region, is of great importance. It is not only an important hub for trade between the West Wasteland and the East Sea, but also a bridge connecting the dreams and reality of countless martial arts masters. The city is extremely prosperous, with a wide variety of rare materials. There is also a teleportation array that leads directly to the Chaos Demon City. That is the only way to the depths of the martial arts world and explore the secrets of the supreme martial arts."

The two of them stopped, and Long Chen's words were full of descriptions of Xihuang City, as if a vivid picture scroll was slowly unfolding before their eyes. When Ling Xiao heard this, a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes, but it was also mixed with a bit of regret.

He tilted his head slightly and looked at Long Chen, his voice low and firm:
"What a pity. Although I have been able to control the energy of heaven and earth freely and reached a rare realm in the martial arts world, I still have no sense of the legendary Heart of the Five Elements in the Western Wilderness. This Heart of the Five Elements is the key to my breaking through the current bottleneck and moving towards a higher martial arts realm. Now it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is hard to find it."

Hearing this, Long Chen patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder, a warm smile appeared on his lips, and he comforted him, "Brother, you don't have to worry too much. The road of martial arts is full of unknowns and challenges. Although we haven't found the heart of the five elements along the way, it is also a kind of experience.

At least, we are safe and sound, and have not encountered any fatal danger. This is already a great fortune. Look, the West Desert City is ahead, there may be new clues and new opportunities waiting for us. As long as we don't give up, one day, the Heart of the Five Elements will appear in front of us. "

The sun shone through the clouds and fell on the two of them, adding a bit of warmth and hope to their journey. Long Chen's words were like a warm current, slowly flowing into Ling Xiao's heart, making the regrets and disappointments in his heart gradually dissipate, and were replaced by infinite longing and firm belief for the future.

"That's true. Those precious treasures are often closely linked to fate. If fate hasn't arrived, it's hard to find their traces even if you force it. If we can't find them, it's also destined. We don't need to worry too much. Let's just keep moving forward."

There was a hint of indifference and carefreeness in Ling Xiao's voice, as if he had already become indifferent to gains and losses and was more focused on the journey ahead.

He paused for a moment, his eyes gleaming with determination and expectation:
"Since we can't find those treasures for the time being, let's go explore the Ten Thousand Demon Cemetery first. It's full of unknowns and challenges, and may bring us unexpected gains and surprises. Moreover, teleporting directly from Xihuang City to Chaos Demon City can also save a lot of time, allowing us to get into new adventures faster."

Hearing this, Long Chen nodded in agreement, with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes: "Brother, what you said is absolutely right, then let's go and set off immediately!"

The two smiled at each other, in perfect tacit understanding, and then quickened their pace and headed towards the central area of West Wasteland City. A moment later, they entered the gate of this important border town, and saw that the streets in the city were crisscrossed, shops were lined up, and pedestrians were constantly coming and going, making it very lively.

Although the scale of Xihuang City is indeed slightly inferior to that of Demon-Suppressing City, it seems that only four Xihuang Cities can barely be compared with Demon-Suppressing City.

But when it comes to prosperity, Xihuang City is no less impressive, and in some aspects, it is even better.
