Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 582  Finally Made It

Very steadily, the swans flew. All they could say was that this was the most adventurous trip they have been to in their lives. After leaving the first around the shores and flying high, they realized the next thing they saw were canyons. Enormous canyons that twisted and moved on their own. But this wasn't the most insane thing about the place. Woow! The leaves descended once more, taking them through the canyons like magical carpet taking Aladdin through the streets of Agrabah. There, they saw steam volcanoes. That's right, steam volcanoes. And out of these steam volcanoes, were ants that looked like they had armored skin. How to say it? These ants were the size of newly born puppies. It was amazing that ants could be so huge. Up next, they passed through an orange swamp-like territory, with 2-headed frogs that had spear-like tongues. And wouldn't you know it, the frogs were the size of polar bears. This… where does the academy get its creatures from? And why did it seem like they, humans, were one of the smallest creatures in size within this place? (?w?)

…

In the end, they found themselves flying over 34 different regions in a blink of an eye. No joke, although 5 and a half hours had passed by, everyone still felt time was running too fast.

This wasn't your average trip that had boring times slip in. No… as they passed through places, they interacted with the 'wildlife' here and were viciously attacked by a variety of creatures chasing and struggling to eat them alive too. Don't blink… Don't sleep… How can you sleep here when you're in the land of giants, and everything out here is bigger than you? Of course, some playful and friendly creatures teased and spat water at them, giggling and sometimes following them too. In short, only now were they shocked to look at their watches and realize that 5 and a half hours had already flashed by just like that. Instantly, their faces turned grim and solid. 2 PM. It was already 2 PM when they arrived at the purple fields. Understand that it took these enchanted Swan Leaves 5 and a half hours to take them halfway through their journey. Then imagine if they had started on foot from the very beginning? 34… They had just passed through 34 enormous vast plains of different types in 5 hours and 30 minutes. They swore that on foot, it might take months and perhaps even 6 months to reach where they were right now. Are you kidding them? The land wasn't a straight line. Some areas required climbing, as though one was cloning the highest mountain in the world. Do you know how many days that would take to climb a single mountain without any safety gear or climbing ropes? Can you climb using just your beat hands just like that? Command then what about defending? Don't forget the swamp areas, and some fields that had giant stalks of grass on them with obvious predators at sight. What about the canyons? What about the desert they saw? There were the marshes, the plateau areas, the grassy terrains, the glaciers, you name it. They also went underwater again, realizing that the swan Leaves could create protective bubbles around itself. Soon, they found themselves sailing through what looked like an underwater city abandoned by some great immortal and his people. Butterflies the size of mice, elevated lands connected by beautiful stone bridges, their eyes had seen what their brains couldn't believe. Now, everyone had stepped out of the leafy swan boats, watching the boats vanish into the skies, leaving them all one here. . n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Everyone, we don't have much time left!" One of the superiors quickly yelled out.

Yes! They were now in the purple aims of grass, and now needed to follow the laughing birds. But where? Where are these laughing birds? Almost instantly, the loud sound of giggling echoed all across the space. Hihihihihihihihihihihihi~

"Look! There! Over there! I see one!!" Kletus turned his head, only to see a green vibrant bird that giggled and giggled endlessly. And without waiting for them to react, it then flapped its wings, flying into the distance. "Quick! After it!!!" Several people soaring forth with all their might. Of course, some elderly people with canes couldn't possibly run, and were supported and escorted through by others. The important thing is that some people should go ahead, so that they know the way to the Resting Stone Valley. It was like watching the Frodo Baggins' journey in the Lord of the Rings, as he marched to destroy the ring. Everyone moved as one unit, knowing who to send ahead and who to stay back to assist. They found that there was more than one laughing bird around. They found over 15 laughing birds, all guiding them the same way. Up, down, sideways… and through a mesmerizing valley with enchanting butterflies, the 'Hobbit' walk took an additional 25 minutes before they reached the Resting Stone Valley.

It seems that the Swan Leaves had dropped them off within the bordering space between the purple plains and the Resting Stone Valley. Or else who knows how much longer they would have taken to get here? [To continue, hop on the floating stones.]

Recalling Butler Sheng's words, Kletus found a suitable rock that was suspended several inches above the ground. He felt that the stones floating inches from the ground were the ones Butler Sheng was talking about. And the moment he got on the stone, it quickly took him higher and higher. And when he fell, it quickly did a U-turn, beaming downwards until it finally caught him once more. Well, finding himself seated crossed legged on the stone, as it rode through made Kletus feel overly excited. And just like the many before him, Kletus and several people found themselves now racing towards the academy's grounds after getting a hang of it. In the past, Old Gia and the others had raced the grist time they came. And now, these people also felt like racing too. (^∆^)

And soon, they reached the academy's main grounds, when it was already 6:50 PM. Don't think their journey was easy. .

One should know that despite the racing, they were attacked by Crocodile creatures that could stand up on 2 feet. Do you know how challenging it was to kick and attack these crocodile bastards that tried to grab onto their stones? Khalea was pushed off her stone, surrounded by Crocodile men all around. Fortunately, Kletus was right behind her, zooming in lower, allowing her to jump and grab onto the stone's sides with both hands just before one of the crocodile men snapped its giant mouth at her. Phew~ Kletus found that her stone was still suspended high in the location she fell from earlier.

"Quick! Follow the whistling birds!" That's exactly what they did, until they met with several other teams from various countries mid-journey. It was an amazing journey, especially the battle some people had in the land of Molten Ice. That's right, not Molten lava, but Molten Ice. Those from Vardos Country had never taught any battles like the ones they did today. Good, everyone was here! The stones stopped flying, allowing them to step down in front of a thick, golden fog that had towering stunning peaks poking out from a distance. No one said a thing, knowing that they must have reached the academy's true grounds. And when the clock struck 7 on the dot, the mysterious golden fig slowly vanished, revealing an Immortal land that truly took their breaths away. And just then, a figure they were now familiar with, suddenly appeared before the Academy's golden gates that were now slowly opening. It was Pandrol. "Welcome, everyone… Welcome to the Heavenly Tian Academy."
