What’s this thing? A flying sword? Where did it come from? Anyway, it looks somewhat familiar! Where have I seen it before…?
True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple muttered to himself, somewhat confused.
But right at this time, the wooden sword started to emit a blinding light.
Then, the coiling flight feature activated.
The most efficient and fastest way to ascend to the sky, exactly what you deserve!
The video-recording feature also activated.
In the next moment, True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple’s body started to spin like a drill and shot up into the sky.

Uwah, uwah, uwah…
True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple cried out strangely while spinning…
Due to the high speed he was spinning at, a fearful hurricane formed around his body as the sword qi exploded!
And just in this fashion, True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple spun like a top and passed through the skylight of the temple, ascending to the sky like a hurricane. The skylight allowed him to quickly get out of the temple with his flying sword in times of need. Thanks to it, he wouldn’t have to repair the ceiling of the temple later.
Due to the ear-splitting sound effects and the overbearing visual effects, many disciples of the Ancient Lake Temple were startled awake.

Hey guys, look over there, what’s that?


Looks like the temple master.


Ah! It’s really the temple master!


The temple master is ascending to the sky!


Is he testing a new flying technique?


It seems very powerful. Perhaps it’s the combination of a flying technique and a sword technique? Look at that terrifying sword qi revolving around him, so cool! And his strength seems to have increased by leaps and bounds yet again. The speed of that flying technique is incredible!


It’s really too quick! He’s already high up in the sky!
The disciples made all sorts of comments.
What they didn’t know was that True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple was equally baffled at this time… moreover, he finally remembered where he had seen this particular wooden flying sword… Isn’t this Senior White’s disposable flying sword?

Inside that ‘gift’ was a disposable flying sword? Is this sword trying to send me into space?

Is this that ‘big surprise’? 
True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple had tears streaming down his face.
As if that wasn’t enough, he felt his head spinning. Was it because he was rotating too fast?
Not quite right. The body of a Sixth Stage True Monarch was more than enough to resist the power of the rotation, but Venerable White’s spiritual energy was also wreaking havoc and causing a disturbance while the coiling flight feature was active. Even Ancient Lake Temple found it difficult to bear under these circumstances.
At long last… the coiling flight feature brought him to the predetermined height and stopped.
Phew, it finally stopped! 
True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple thought to himself.
But he didn’t even have the time to relax when the other two features of the flying sword activated.
The meteor-like effect and the zigzagged flight pattern!
True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple changed into a dazzling meteor and started to streak across the sky. The pattern of this meteor was rather strange though. While streaking across the sky, it would often go up and down and sway from left to right.

Aaaaaah~
True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple screamed.
Since it was early morning, the meteor-like effect was particularly eye-catching.

The temple master is so incredible! A flying sword can be actually ridden in such a way!


Look at that zigzagged flight pattern!


The temple master is incredible!


Temple master, another one, another one!

The unaware disciples of the Ancient Lake Temple cheered out loud.
Then, just as they were spectating the scene with excited looks, True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple streaked across the sky and headed toward a faraway place, slowly disappearing.

Eh? Where did the temple master go?


No idea. He actually flew very far away. Is he going out?


Anyway, was it his scream that I heard earlier?


No way, you must have misheard. Anyway, let’s go back to sleep. Given his strength, it won’t be a problem for him to return.

Thereupon, the numerous disciples nodded one after another and returned to sleep.
In the starry sky.

Aaaaaah~

I wish to fly in the sky together with the sun~ 

The world is waiting for me to change it~ 

I am not afraid to show my dreams to others~ 

I can make them come true right here~

True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple’s pitiful scream echoed in the night sky.
❄️❄️❄️
Meanwhile, inside Thrice Reckless Mad Saber’s secret immortal cave.
Thrice Reckless was humming a song and enjoying the hot spring.
But at this time, a figure appeared in front of him out of nowhere and without making any sound.
It was a man that had the demeanor of a retired scholar, the type that had seen through the vanity of the world and retired to a peaceful life. He had retired so well that you wouldn’t be able to find him even if he were standing in front of you.

Fellow Daoist Thrice Reckless, I hope you’ve been well since our last meeting.
The retired scholar faintly smiled at Thrice Reckless.

…
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber.
Shiet, although this secret immortal cave doesn’t have the same defensive power as the main one, it still has hundreds of formations protecting it! This man was able to break through all those formations and I didn’t even notice it?! Moreover, how did he find me?


Gulp.
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber swallowed a mouthful of saliva and forced a smile.
Fellow Daoist Scholar Sober River, nice to meet you!


Hehehe…
The retired scholar faintly smiled.
Fellow Daoist Thrice Reckless, that’s not my name.


I’m sorry!
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber immediately apologized and corrected himself,
I remember now, it’s Scholar Scattered Ash! I’m sure of it!


Wrong, try again.
The retired scholar took a step forward and put a hand in the hot spring.
In the next moment, Thrice Reckless felt the temperature of the water rise and the aroma of what seemed to be wine come from the hot spring.
Wine? That’s it! His dao name is related to wine!

Thereupon, Thrice Reckless shouted,
Scholar Wine Dust! I’m sure this time!


Wrong again. Hmm, I’ll give you two more opportunities.
The retired scholar gently smiled and said,
If you still can’t guess my name correctly, the water of the hot spring will catch fire!

Thrice Reckless Mad Saber broke out in a cold sweat; he couldn’t stop sweating even if he wanted to. Although the water of the hot spring was boiling hot, he felt as though he was in the middle of a cold winter.

Scholar Tyrannical King! Yes, that must be it!
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber shouted after racking his brain… Dammit, why didn’t I note down his dao name and nickname like Northern River’s Loose Cultivator, sticking it in an eye-catching place?!

The retired scholar slightly nodded.

Is it correct?
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber’s eyes suddenly lit up.

No, but this dao name was rather overbearing. Hehe, you have one last chance. Fellow Daoist Thrice Reckless, don’t waste it!
The retired scholar heartily laughed and revolved his spiritual energy.
The scent of wine spread in the air, and just by smelling it, Thrice Reckless felt a bit drunk. If this spring of wine were to catch fire…
Dammit, what is his name?

It’s related to wine… It’s related to wine… Yes! I remember! The first word is ‘drunken’!

But what is the second?

I only have one last opportunity, I can’t make a mistake!

Thrice Reckless Mad Saber racked his brain.
Right! The second word is related to celestial bodies!


It’s Scholar Drunken Sun! I’m 100% sure this time!
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said full of confidence. This time, he was sure that the name was correct.

Hehehehe…
The retired scholar made a long laugh.

This time it’s correct, right?
Thrice Reckless asked impatiently.

I’m very happy to inform you… that you got it wrong again!
A flame lit on the right hand of the retired scholar and suddenly approached the water of the hot spring.
It’s Scholar Drunken Moon!!!! Engrave this name in your mind!!

But right at this time… on the edge of the hot spring, a sword light suddenly flashed, shooting out of a pile of Thrice Reckless’ clothes.
The sword light approached Thrice Reckless and propped up his body, making him come out of the water.

Are you trying to escape?
 How can I let you get away so easily?


Eh?
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber looked at the flying sword, somewhat confused. Where had this sword come from?
His weapon of choice was a saber, not a sword.
While he was dumbfounded, Scholar Drunken Moon fiercely pounced toward him and grasped his arm.
Come here and taste this fiery hot spring!

But Scholar Drunken Moon’s voice had yet to fade when the wooden sword flashed faintly once more.
Coiling flight feature, activate!
The Bladestorm-style flight feature started, and due to the sudden rotation, Scholar Drunken Moon and Thrice Reckless Mad Saber unconsciously embraced each other, starting to madly spin like drills.
Thrice Reckless’ secret immortal cave was located within a mountain.
Therefore, they really turned into drills and used their heads to drill through the walls of the mountain, spinning and spinning…
Rocks flew about and sparks scattered in all directions.
Thrice Reckless regretted using such powerful formations to protect the ceiling of this immortal cave very much. Even after drilling for a while, they had yet to break through them.

Buzzzzzzzzzz…

After much difficulty, they were finally able to break through the formations of the secret immortal cave. Next, the duo madly spun and ascended to the sky.
Scholar Drunken Moon shouted,
Thrice Reckless, stop this thing!


I don’t know how to stop it!
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber loudly replied. This sword didn’t even belong to him.
In the end, Thrice Reckless could only turn toward his immortal cave and shout,
Ya, keep an eye on the immortal cave while I’m away!

As soon as he said these words, they changed into meteors and streaked across the night sky, heading far, far away…
Ya was a spirit beast that Thrice Reckless had raised, and it would help him keep an eye on the place while he wasn’t there.
Amidst the starry sky, Thrice Reckless and Drunken Moon’s pitiful screams were echoing continuously.
Oh, right. Thrice Reckless’ disposable meteor sword had the ‘windmill feature’ attached to it. While flying, the sword would suddenly start rotating like a big windmill. Truly a beautiful sight!
While they were flying, Thrice Reckless suddenly remembered about a matter.
Isn’t this one of Venerable White’s flying swords? Aaaaah~


A disposable flying sword? It won’t fly into space, right? Aaaaah~
Scholar Drunken Moon looked at the starry sky.
Follow me through this ocean of stars~ 

With the heart set on a distance place~ 

While dreaming of matters light-years apart~ 

Proud to never utter the word defeat~

Aaaaaaah~
The high-pitched voices of the duo echoed throughout the night sky…
❄️❄️❄️
Inside Fairy Lychee’s immortal cave.
The gift box quietly opened and the flying sword silently drilled beneath the sleeping Lychee’s body.

Hmm… stop. Let me sleep some more,
Fairy Lychee muttered.
In the next moment, the coiling flight feature activated… whiz!
Fairy Lychee immediately woke up, but it was too late… she had already started to spin.
I want to fly~ 

Fly past that grassland and look for my lost memories~ 

I want to fly~ 

Fly past those high mountains and look for yesterday’s memories~
