Wu Long stepped forward and the space before him became distorted and squeezed, as if someone shrank the distance between him and where he was going. He instantly crossed a great distance while already making the next step.
This was Void Piercing Step, a very high-speed movement technique. It had flaws in that it created a large disturbance in the space and was not very precise, but since there was almost no one here who could sense such disturbances and he did not need high precision in crossing wide swaths of territories like he would in a battle it was the perfect technique to use as a long-distance travel method.
Though the distance he needed to travel was longer, he was a lot faster than when they traveled in the carriages to the Imperial Capital and he also was not particular about staying in inns, as he could just set up a perimeter with talismans and sleep using his alert sleeping technique.
I have made a correction in the previous chapter, at the part where Wu Long's reason for not hurrying his cultivation rate is described. The young appearance is more of a bonus now. He is not going to wait until he is 20 to reach Qi Manifestation, he is just letting his appearance age naturally since he cannot cultivate fast anyway, so he is going to get there when he gets there is his attitude. He is not in as much of a hurry as he was before when he was willing to risk stability in order to gain more immediate power.
Also, some may have noticed, but my schedule has changed, so I am writing at a different time now. And thus the releases are shifting in time. I hope this is not a strong inconvenience for you all. It is now in process of shifting so it is a bit hectic, but it should stabilize soon.
Thank you very much for reading, commenting and your support! XD
There is an important announcement in the auxiliary chapter
