"We're here."
A voice boomed in their ears, jolting them from their daze. They looked up blankly, only to find a towering mountain looming before them.
"We're already here?"
They were all stunned. It felt like no time had passed at all. Had they really arrived? Before setting out, they had braced themselves for death, yet they had arrived in the blink of an eye without feeling a thing.
"Climb up from here, and you'll reach the summit. It's not very difficult." Yi Tianyun stepped off the vessel. There were no other Cultivators lingering here anymore.
Ever since he had absorbed the black clouds, any Cultivator who made it this far could climb up with ease. The difficulty had been reduced significantly. Unless they were exceptionally weak, anyone could make it.
"You… You're really the Celestial Cloud Emperor?" Ding Qing called out to him, her form of address having changed completely.
"Yes." Yi Tianyun nodded, then turned and left without lingering.
