Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Mastery of the Artifact Control Flight Technique!

"It seems lighter, yet the weight of the spear is still there!"

Lu Chen felt somewhat puzzled in his heart. In his understanding, the lighter something was, the easier it should be to fly.

His spear, however, was forged from an entire cliff, refined through a thousand hammerings, with impurities removed, yet its weight had actually not changed much.

The problem lay right there, causing Lu Chen to inevitably ponder how other cultivators managed to fly!

He lacked the spell for Artifact Control Flight, but he could only deliberate on the reason for this conundrum.

Soon enough, he thought of his own spear technique!

"Spear Strikes the Sky means throwing the spear out, and I can also slightly control the minor rotations of the spear to adjust its striking position!"

"So, can I start from this principle, apply the method of Spear Strikes the Sky to the spear as well?"

"And eventually, should I be the one standing on top, controlling it?"

With this fresh line of thought, Lu Chen decided to give it a try!

No sooner said than done; he picked up the spear and stood up, took a deep breath to calm his mind, and then turned his gaze deep into the palace, slowly lifting the spear!

"Spear Spirit, see if you can control the direction after I stand on top," he said.

Lu Chen figured that he couldn’t afford to be distracted by controlling it alone, so he left this task to the Spear Spirit.

If he could keep flying with the spear, powered by Spiritual Power, getting proficient like this would make it much easier to try controlling the direction later!

"Master, rest assured, I can control it!" replied the Spear Spirit confidently.

"That’s good to hear!" Lu Chen relaxed a great deal and then slowly threw the spear.

As the spear left his hand, Lu Chen took a big step forward and, using a powerful push from his back leg, jumped onto the shaft of the spear!

With his current ability, although the body of the spear was slender, he could stand on it steadily; however, his control was still weak, and the spear suddenly plunged towards the ground.

Lu Chen hurriedly increased the output of Spiritual Power, and only then did the spear not hit the ground. Not daring to be careless, he continued to control the output of Spiritual Power, but now there was too much of it, and the spear suddenly shot upwards, nearly plunging him into the cracks at the top of the palace!

"Master, slower, steadier!" Seeing Lu Chen fumbling, the Spear Spirit couldn’t bear to watch anymore and quickly reminded him. Lu Chen snapped back to reality, realizing he had become flustered.

"Got it!" He responded and, unlike before, he began to slowly reduce the speed at which he was outputting Spiritual Power.

He indeed knew the cause: his own control over the matter was too weak, and he was somewhat nervous.

After the Spear Spirit’s reminder, Lu Chen also realized that since he was only trying to fly and not fighting an enemy, even if he fell or hit the top of the palace, at most he would eat some dirt without any real harm.

"After all, I am a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Getting this nervous over Artifact Control Flight is truly unwarranted!" he chided himself with a laugh, then jumped off the spear.

Without the control of Spiritual Power, the spear clattered to the ground, tilting to one side.

Lu Chen picked up the spear, determined to start over from scratch.

After communicating with the Spear Spirit for a while, he threw the spear out again!

However, this time, there was no technique to his throw, just a casual toss!

"Let’s go again!"

Lu Chen jumped onto the body of the spear. This time, even as the spear began descending again, he did not hastily boost the Spiritual Power like before, causing the spear to stabilize quickly.

Delighted in his heart, he then began to channel Spiritual Power slowly from under his feet into the spear, which then stabilized itself quietly in the mid-air.

Overwhelmed with joy and growing confidence, Lu Chen started to practice the Art of Imperial Artifact in the spacious part of the palace.

In fact, Artifact Control Flight wasn’t such a profound spell, and even some sects taught this technique as a simple incantation—nothing more than transferring Spiritual Power into a Magic Artifact and then controlling it with one’s own methods.

Lu Chen was inherently perceptive, and as long as he remained steady, he improved quickly!

Before long, he became quite skilled and longed to fly freely under the vast sky. The cramped space here could hardly reveal its potential!

But just as he was thinking this, from deep within the palace, a hysterical and bizarre roar suddenly echoed!

It sounded neither human nor monster!

Lu Chen’s face changed, and he saw the falling yellow sand transform into Spiritual Power in an instant, swirling madly within the palace!

The palace rumbled ominously—it was really about to collapse!
