Douluo: I’m Cultivating Immortality, and I’m Still a Titled Douluo?

As the Spine Porcupine Douluo, Ci Xue, questioned him, Lu Yunzhou's lips curved into a slight smile, and he answered smoothly.

"This object is called the 'Wind-Thunder Vessel.' Simply put, it's a type of flying boat—an airship—with exceptional speed."

"Wind-Thunder Vessel? Flying? And fast? Really?"

The Demon Bear Douluo cast a bewildered look at everything around him. For a moment, he felt like a country bumpkin entering a grand estate, a bit unprepared for this marvel.

A small boat had suddenly expanded—and not only that, it was hovering!

And it was said to be capable of flight?

This was truly beyond all reason, bordering on unbelievable.

At the same time, Demon Bear Douluo felt his very worldview… cracking.

With a slight nod, Lu Yunzhou confirmed, "Yes, it's indeed the Wind-Thunder Vessel. And it can indeed fly, with speed that's far from ordinary."

After a moment, he continued explaining, "Operating the Wind-Thunder Vessel is simple; it only requires control through spiritual power, with its energy source being either spiritual energy or Soul Power."

With that, Lu Yunzhou channeled a fraction of his boundless spiritual energy into the vessel and connected his mind to it.

In the next moment, he and the vessel became as one—harmonized as seamlessly as heaven and man, or as a man with his sword. He had absolute control over the Wind-Thunder Vessel.

With a thought, the vessel instantly acted upon Lu Yunzhou's command.

With a sudden *whoosh*, the Wind-Thunder Vessel shot forward at lightning speed toward the direction of Star Dou Forest, producing a deafening sonic boom as it passed.

The Wind-Thunder Vessel not only boasted flight and speed; it also had a surprising "energy barrier" as defense.

As they took off, this barrier automatically activated.

A blue, translucent shield enveloped the vessel, blocking the intense wind created by the rapid movement.

Thus, Lu Yunzhou and his companions could enjoy the stunning scenery without any interference.

In this sense, it was like traveling by airplane—but with far more freedom.

"Amazing…"

Qian Renxue couldn't help but exclaim as she took in the marvel. "The means of cultivators… truly astounding."

Looking down at the ground, seventy or eighty meters below, Demon Bear Douluo swallowed a few times, feeling awestruck.

Internally, Demon Bear Douluo couldn't help but develop a newfound respect for Lu Yunzhou.

"This speed is even faster than I can achieve at full strength!"

As a Speed-type Titled Douluo, the Ghost Leopard Douluo was already one of the fastest in all of Douluo Continent. But after experiencing the Wind-Thunder Vessel, he realized that there's always a higher summit.

A simple airship had outstripped his speed—something he could hardly have imagined.

"If that's the case, then what's the point of all my years of cultivating Soul Power?"

The Ghost Leopard Douluo felt as if all his hard work over the years had gone to waste.

"According to my calculations, we'll reach Star Dou Forest in about two hours."

After making this estimate, Lu Yunzhou added, slightly embarrassed, "I don't actually know which direction Star Dou Forest is in. Perhaps one of you should take over the controls?"

[Note: The protagonist is calculating the arrival time based on the vessel's speed.]

Hearing this, before Demon Bear, Ghost Leopard, or Yulong could respond, Spine Porcupine Douluo Ci Xue promptly stepped forward. "Allow me!"

He infused his spiritual power into the vessel, assuming control smoothly.

Ci Xue, as a seasoned Titled Douluo, swiftly adjusted to maneuvering the Wind-Thunder Vessel.

"Let me try as well!" Demon Bear Douluo eagerly approached, unable to resist the allure of this new treasure.

"Me too!" said Ghost Leopard Douluo, following suit with equal enthusiasm.

Yulong, the Serpent Spear Douluo, swallowed as he stepped forward, similarly intrigued.

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue's attention was fixed on Lu Yunzhou. Approaching him, she tentatively asked, "Mr. Lu, how was this made? It's incredible."

Seeing the anticipation in Qian Renxue's expression, Lu Yunzhou answered, "It was crafted by an Artificer."

With a simple reply, he continued, "Artificers can create weapons, armor, and upgrade equipment. But they can also make unique items like this Wind-Thunder Vessel."

"I also gave Yan'er a ring before. That item, called a storage ring, functions like your storage Soul Guidance devices, but its capacity and effectiveness surpass them by a great margin."

Qian Renxue nodded thoughtfully, then added with a hint of admiration, "It seems I know far too little about the craft of Artificers."

Then, as if a thought had struck her, Qian Renxue asked, "Mr. Lu, may I be bold enough to ask—do you think there's much difference between blacksmiths and Artificers?"

Without much thought, Lu Yunzhou replied, "There's not just a difference; there's a world of separation between them."

"Like an insurmountable chasm," he added.

Lu Yunzhou patiently explained, "For a blacksmith to craft a suit of armor or a weapon, they need to expend considerable time and effort. But for an Artificer who has reached a certain level, creating a full suit of armor is merely a matter of a single thought."

"Your Divine Craftsman could never forge an artifact."

"But an Artificer can."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue was visibly shaken. "An artifact? Could it be… real?"

…

As time slowly passed, Lu Yunzhou and Qian Renxue soon arrived above the inner region of Star Dou Forest.

Just as they prepared to delve deeper, a thunderous sound broke the silence.
