Chapitre 95: Chapter 95: The Tang Kingdom’s Unimaginable Wonders
Not long after purchasing their tickets, the Third Prince Zhao Feng and his entourage ascended the ladder and boarded one of the magnificent Sky Birds.
The closer they got, the more they marveled at its sheer size. Standing before it, the Sky Bird seemed less like an animal and more like a divine creation, exuding an aura that left them awestruck.
"Incredible... utterly unbelievable," someone whispered.
"Is this really the back of the Sky Bird? It's so spacious," another marveled, gazing at the vast expanse of the bird's back.
"Wait, if it flies so fast, won't we be blown away by the air currents?" one of Zhao Feng's men asked, concerned.
"Rest assured," an attendant nearby explained, "The Sky Bird generates a special transparent air shield, blocking all wind currents. You won't feel a thing while on its back, which is why it's such a reliable transportation method."
"That's amazing! Traveling on the Sky Bird feels like such a luxury," someone exclaimed in awe.
The group made their way to their seats, marveling at every detail like countryfolk entering a grand city. Guards stood strategically around the seating area, ensuring passenger safety and maintaining order. Nearby, a service area offered a variety of drinks and food, ensuring that the journey would be both comfortable and entertaining.
However, amidst the marveling, Zhao Feng noticed something strange.
"Why are some people talking to themselves? Are they mad?" he asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.
Indeed, a few passengers appeared to be muttering to themselves, oblivious to those around them. Each had a pale green collar wrapped around their wrist, and the sight made the Third Prince uneasy.
An elderly man nearby overheard and chuckled. "Ah, young man, this must be your first time in the Tang Kingdom."
Zhao Feng nodded politely. "Indeed, uncle. Forgive us if we appear unsophisticated; everything here is so novel to us."
"That's natural," the old man said with a proud grin. "Everyone who comes to the Tang Kingdom for the first time is bound to feel this way. After all, my Tang Kingdom is a super empire—far beyond the reach of smaller nations."
Zhao Feng and his entourage felt their tempers flare at the remark. Small nation? How dare this old man call the Land of Treasures a small nation! Their empire was vast, rich in history, and boasted unparalleled military strength. Yet, for now, they had to swallow their pride and let the insult slide.
"By the way, what country are you from?" the old man asked curiously.
"The Land of Treasures," Zhao Feng replied evenly.
The old man looked puzzled. "The Land of Treasures? Never heard of it. Which small country is that?"
Zhao Feng's group nearly choked on their anger. Small country? They wanted to shout, but they held their tongues.
"To answer your earlier question," the old man continued, "those people aren't talking to themselves. They're speaking to others—probably their family members."
"How is that possible?" one of Zhao Feng's men asked, incredulous. "There's no one near them!"
"See that pale green collar around their wrists? That's a Thought Worm," the old man explained. "It's a magical creature that allows communication over vast distances. With its power, you can talk to someone thousands of miles away as if they were right next to you."
"What?! Thousands of miles apart?" Zhao Feng and his entourage were stunned.
"Exactly," the old man said with a knowing nod. "The Thought Worms can transmit signals instantly, regardless of the distance. They've been widely adopted across the Tang Kingdom, and many families use them to stay connected."
"That's impossible!" one of the men protested. "Even an extraordinary martial artist couldn't manage such a feat!"
"Haha! Of course, a human couldn't," the old man replied. "But the Thought Worms are magical creatures with extraordinary abilities. Their powers are beyond human comprehension."
Zhao Feng and his group fell silent. They couldn't deny the possibility, given the other marvels they'd witnessed in the Tang Kingdom. Still, the implications were terrifying.
The Tang Kingdom had not only mastered the Sky Birds and Fire Horses but also controlled the Thought Worms—creatures capable of instantaneous communication across thousands of miles. This level of sophistication was beyond anything Zhao Feng and his companions had ever imagined.
Their awe gradually turned to unease. If the Tang Kingdom could deploy such incredible resources and technology, then its power wasn't just vast—it was unassailable.
