Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 653 Fame Spreads Throughout the World 1

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye. The world after the red rain is still treacherous, but Yun Chu, with her wisdom and supernatural abilities, has managed to carve out a haven of peace from the ruins.

Her "cloud base" rose from the wasteland, unlike the simple and rugged shelters of other places:

The base was built in the center of a cleared, abandoned city. The sturdy high walls were reinforced with earth-based supernatural abilities, and the creeping mutated vines intertwined like jade in the cracks of the walls, serving both defensive and filtration purposes to filter the hazy air.

The core area preserves the remains of the renovated skyscrapers, and beneath the glass dome are clean streets, greenhouse crop gardens, and training grounds for supernatural abilities.

The base's senior management consisted entirely of the same attractive faces that Yun Chu had once "collected"—not just pretty faces, but seasoned veterans:

Jiang Xingyu: The former idol has shed his past image and become a dashing base commander. He has enhanced his leadership with his mental support abilities, and his eyes shine like stars. He is in perfect harmony with his contracted "Wind Shadow Eagle," and his daily patrols in the clouds are as sharp as a hawk's.

Lin Xiaoran: A calm and composed second-in-command, her dagger skills are a source of both power and brilliance as she instructs newcomers on the training field. Her contracted partner is the "Rattan Armor Bear," a mutated giant bear covered in wooden armor, capable of withstanding bone-spiked zombies in battle.

Ling Yi: His fire-based abilities allow him to melt steel and iron, and he is in charge of the technology reconstruction zone. A crimson cheetah named "Flame Eyes" is his partner in searching for supplies in the ruins.

Xu Jingyan: Her water-based healing ability has turned the base's hospital into a "source of life." She has tamed a "water lotus," a mutated aquatic plant whose moisture can accelerate wound healing.

Bi Ziqian: An earth-type ability user, currently at the core of the defensive line. His contracted "Earth Rock Turtle" often lies in wait beneath the city gate, its shell's sharp stones capable of instantly piercing through hordes of attacking corpses.

Charlotte, Luo Lian, and others: Wind-type, Healing-type, and Power-type, each with their own unique mutated partners—such as Luo Lian's "Sweet Dew Vine," which can release fragrant spores to purify the air.

Yun Chu knew in her heart that her body, now over sixty, could not support eternity.

So, she spent three whole years meticulously refining these people, like sculpting a rough gem. She didn't just bestow power; she brought it into practice.

He personally demonstrated how supernatural abilities could be intertwined to counterattack when the horde of zombies attacked outside the city; he repeatedly instructed them on how to merge with the mutated beasts in the training ground—that contract was not enslavement, but a tacit understanding based on blood ties.

One evening at sunset, as usual, everyone gathered around Yun Chu by the greenhouse.

She stroked the cool vines of "Green Vine" and looked at everyone's vibrant faces: "In my life, I've seen enough dregs. Before I die, I just hope you won't be like me when I was young, busy with trivialities. Be pretty, capable, and use your brains to live in this apocalypse, that's all."

Her voice was calm yet resolute—the contracted mutated beast companions murmured around them, and Lin Xiaoran's rattan bear rubbed against Yun Chu's trouser leg.

Now, whenever the moonlight shines down, under the dome of the cloud base: some people use their supernatural abilities to repair buildings, some stroke their beast companions and groom their fur, and some smile as they plant new buds for the children.

Yun Chu leaned back in the rattan chair on the balcony, a faint smile finally appearing on her lips.

The world was still in ruins, but these vibrant lives made her feel that her mission to "go see the world" had not been in vain.

After the base stabilized and developed, Yun Chu left the base alone in the dead of night to continue her mission.

Four years later, Yun Chu's mission was completed.

After finishing, Yun Chu felt that her lifespan was not long, so she went back to the base. The base was developing very well, and the children were doing well too.

Yun Chu felt at ease and went to find a scenic spot to await her death.

After her death, the mutated tiger carried her body back to the cloud base.

Jiang Xingyu, the base chief of the Cloud Base, buried Yun Chu directly in the base square, erected a monument for her, and created a statue so that future generations would remember her. That's how the Cloud Base came to be.

This is a martial arts world. Her father is the leader of the Tianji Sect. She is fifteen years old and has been learning martial arts for twelve years.

Although her father was the head of a sect, it was only a small sect with only three disciples.

Her father, her brother, and then her!

As dawn broke, a thin mist, like gauze, gently clung to the small mountain gate where the Tianji Sect was located.

Rather than a sect, it was more like a simple courtyard built against the mountain. Dewdrops clung to the eaves, and the bluestone steps were damp with morning dew, exuding a sense of coldness and solitude.

A young girl dressed in a sky-blue outfit stood in the courtyard. She was already quite tall, fifteen years old, but her figure exuded a height and composure far beyond that of her peers.

Her long, black hair was tied into a neat ponytail, revealing her smooth, full forehead and a pair of clear yet unusually calm eyes—those eyes did not show the usual excitement, trepidation, or attachment of a young girl leaving home, but only the calm surface of a lake after the ice and snow have melted, unfathomable.

This is Yun Chu.

At this moment, what surged within her was the inner energy honed over twelve years, the consummate swordsmanship and fist techniques, and even deeper spatial abilities temporarily imprisoned by the laws of this martial arts world, as well as a soul whose emotions had been deliberately erased, leaving only the imprint of the mission and cold rationality.

"Chu'er..." Sect Leader Yun Qingshan stood on the steps, looking at his graceful daughter. His throat bobbed a few times, but in the end, he let out a soft sigh.

The young sect leader, who had single-handedly founded the Tianji Sect, now wore a mixture of worry, pride, and an overwhelming sense of reluctance. The sect had only three "names": himself, his son Yun Zheng, and his daughter Yun Chu.

The so-called sect is nothing more than a place where three family members, father, brother and sister, rely on each other for survival to practice martial arts.

Yun Zheng, Yun Chu's older brother, a tall young man of eighteen or nineteen, walked forward carrying a small package.

He handed the package to Yun Chu, his voice as relaxed as possible: "Here, a change of clothes and a few emergency banknotes. This is your travel money, prepared by your father."

He paused, his gaze falling on Yun Chuqing's cold face with a complex expression. "The world is a long and winding road, unlike home. If you encounter trouble... don't be reckless. If you should run, run. Preserving your life is the most important thing."

He wanted to say more words of concern, but under his sister's overly calm gaze, he found himself unable to speak.

Yun Chu deftly took the package and tied it to her back. Her movements were so precise and efficient, as if she had practiced it countless times. She didn't look at what was inside the package, as if this possession was of little concern to her.

"I understand, brother." Her voice was as calm and even as her eyes, as if she were stating a fact that had nothing to do with her.

Yun Qingshan stepped forward and patted his daughter's shoulder heavily with his calloused hand, the force carrying a heavy entrustment: "Chu'er, your father doesn't have any great abilities, I can't give you divine weapons or secret manuals, and I can't live up to your prestigious reputation."

"In the world of martial arts, you rely on your own skills and intelligence. The Heavenly Mystery Sect... is a small and insignificant sect. We don't ask you to make a name for yourself, we only ask that you remember—this is home. If you're tired or wronged, come back!"

"Mm." Yun Chu nodded, her response concise and to the point. "Take care, Father." She turned to Yun Zheng, "Brother, take good care of Father."
