Ning Xuan sat cross-legged on the Flying Boat, cultivating with the help of the world's Element Qi and Heavenly Crystals. The clouds above roiled and churned, gathering over his head.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a thick beam of light blasted through the clouds, enveloping the Flying Boat. In the pitch-black night sky, a divine radiance bloomed. This phenomenon was caused by Ning Xuan activating the *Chaos Ancestral Dragon Scripture*. The violent Element Qi hidden above the clouds was instantly absorbed, swarming toward him and dispersing the cloud layer in the process. It vanished in the blink of an eye, making many people on the ground think they had imagined it.
However, high above, within the clouds, a behemoth five times the size of Ning Xuan's Flying Boat hovered to a stop. A young man with an imposing air stared at the edge of the sky where the clouds seemed to pour down like a funnel. "Go see who that is," he ordered, "and invite them over for a chat."
