Chapter 5: Landfill

“My home is in that Great City?” Mu Yanxin knew just by looking. He could see the full address above the map: Room 3, 7th Floor, Fujin Pavilion, 37 Zhuangxin Road, Yuexiu District, Level Negative 41, Yuzhen City.

In other words, that massive city was called Yuzhen City, and the Original Host lived in the Fujin Pavilion. However, seeing that Level Negative 41 made Mu Yanxin frown.

According to his understanding and knowledge, the Cultivation Realm generally prized height; the higher one was, the closer they were to the Heavenly Way and the Immortal Realm.

Living on Level Negative 41 meant living underground, giving off a sense of lowliness.

Looking at the projected 3D map, his flickering home was completely buried beneath pavilions that towered into the clouds, almost never seeing the sun.

Combined with his father’s appearance as an old farmer and the Original Host’s actions of scavenging in this giant pit, he could roughly deduce that the Original Host’s family probably wasn’t very wealthy.

But the current problem wasn’t whether his family had money, but how to get back. Not only did Yuzhen City tower into the clouds, but looking at the map, it seemed vast and boundless.

Moreover, the Junkyard was a significant distance from the Great City; walking back would take hours.

Cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage couldn’t transform into Evasion Lights to fly on their own; they had to rely on Divine Artifacts to fly through the sky.

Since the Original Host could run to the outskirts to scavenge, he naturally must have flown here.

Thus, he decisively sent his Spirit Sense into the Divine Treasure section of the Terminal Ring. To his surprise, there was only one Divine Treasure inside.

It looked like a rectangular metal plate, very thick, with a sharp, streamlined front end, auxiliary wings on both sides, and two metal tubes with holes at the bottom.

Its style was completely different from any Divine Artifact or even Divine Treasure he had ever seen.

“What is this thing?” Mu Yanxin was completely bewildered.

Although he knew many concepts in this world were unknown to him, not even knowing what category a Divine Artifact belonged to was beyond his imagination.

“Xuangguang 3000 Windrider Glideboard, produced by Xuanjing Pavilion. This is a Divine Artifact you scavenged and repaired here,” the Terminal Ring introduced.

What a strange name, was Mu Yanxin’s first reaction. And it was actually scavenged and repaired? Could these discarded Divine Artifacts actually be fixed?

In Mu Yanxin’s memory, once a Divine Artifact was damaged, it was usually completely scrapped and could only be returned to the furnace to be reforged into materials.

He didn’t expect the Divine Artifacts of this world could be repaired.

However, since it was called a Windrider Glideboard, it should presumably be used for flying just like a normal Divine Artifact.

Furthermore, there were two turbine-like rings on the glideboard that looked like platforms for feet to stand on.

Mu Yanxin funneled Mana into the glideboard. The turbines and edges instantly emitted a green light, and it hovered before him. Mu Yanxin was delighted; it really was similar to a normal Divine Artifact.

He stepped onto the glideboard, placed his feet on the rings, funneled in Mana, and pointed forward. The glideboard instantly shot forward, followed by a spiral, spinning 360 degrees in the air before plunging headfirst into Junk Mountain.

“Are you kidding me!” Just as he was about to crash, Mu Yanxin instinctively jumped out.

He took five steps across the rugged Junk Mountain filled with sharp Divine Artifacts and Marionettes to steady himself. The glideboard, meanwhile, stabbed directly into the Junk Mountain.

“Huh?” Mu Yanxin looked in disbelief as he stood firmly on a cliff of the Junk Mountain where it was almost impossible to find footing.

Those few steps just now were almost entirely a reflex; his body had moved on instinct. He had originally thought he would definitely fall.

Moreover, if he hadn’t jumped out voluntarily, his feet would have remained firmly stuck to those two rings on the glideboard.

The glideboard losing control wouldn’t have thrown him off, yet it didn’t hinder him from jumping up at any moment. It truly felt very strange.

Controlling that Windrider Glideboard was completely different from any Divine Artifact he had used before. The internal circulation route of spiritual energy was extremely complex.

Even with his knowledge and abilities from the Nascent Soul Stage, he had never seen a Divine Treasure with such a complex internal structure.

What should he do? He felt that just learning how to use this Divine Artifact would take some time. Mu Yanxin walked carefully to where the Windrider Glideboard had fallen; it was completely buried in the Junk Mountain.

Mu Yanxin pulled it out with one hand. This body’s physical quality was indeed surprisingly good.

Whether it was steadying his footing while falling or pulling out the glideboard that was buried so deep, the strength of this body was evident. Could the Original Host have been a Physical Cultivator?

At this time, the Terminal Ring took the initiative to speak and asked: “Master, would you like to activate navigation and Automated Navigation to let the Windrider Glideboard take you home?”

“Automated Navigation? Does that mean I don’t have to control this Divine Artifact myself, and it can fly me home?” Mu Yanxin asked. Although he hadn’t heard that term before, he easily guessed its meaning.

“Yes, Master. Please stand on the glideboard. I will activate the Automated Navigation mode for you,” the Terminal Ring said.

Mu Yanxin had never heard of one Divine Artifact being able to control another before, but he was truly getting used to these strange things. He could only follow suit for now and stood on the glideboard.

The Terminal Ring flashed with light, and then two blue flames erupted from the back of the glideboard, instantly shooting into the air.

This speed greatly exceeded Mu Yanxin’s expectations. It was much faster than any top-tier Divine Artifact he had seen; it could already be compared to the flight speed of a Golden Core cultivator.

If he hadn’t been used to the speed of a Nascent Soul Stage Evasion Light, he definitely would have been startled by the glideboard’s speed.

After the glideboard reached a high-speed flight in mid-air, it quickly stabilized. Mu Yanxin could feel his feet firmly planted on the rings; no matter how the glideboard flew, he wouldn’t fall off unless he jumped out of his own accord.

Furthermore, the glideboard came with a very thin Protective Shield. Its primary purpose was likely to block the wind, and it could also protect the owner of the Divine Artifact in passing.

It was a very thoughtful design.

Aside from that, this Divine Artifact consumed very little Mana. It only drew a tiny amount of Mana from the two rings under his feet. It seemed as if the glideboard had its own Spirit Power Source.

Mu Yanxin couldn’t figure out the principles of this Divine Artifact in a short time, but it could indeed fly automatically along the map route projected by the Terminal Ring. He could only let it carry him.

Once he got used to the glideboard’s automated flight, he could finally look down from the air and survey the scene of the entire Junkyard.

This Junkyard was much larger than what he had seen before. It wasn’t just that giant pit; the surrounding dozens of miles were all disposal sites.

Moreover, many cultivators were wandering through the Junkyard, seemingly picking through discarded items as well.

Not only that, Mu Yanxin also saw many Marionettes working in the Junkyard, sorting and dismantling junk and loading them into containers.

Just then, a massive steel Flying Ship flew from the direction of the Great City toward the Junkyard.

In an instant, a large number of Evasion Lights flew out from various parts of the Junkyard, all targeting that Flying Ship.
