Iron Sky Kingdom
Having set off towards the alchemy competition, Xuan Hao and the rest flew through the air peacefully without anyone appearing to disturb them.
After all, as they had chosen to fly, the only ones who would be able to even attack them in the first place, was someone in the Domain Lord Realm or someone who also had a flying demon beast like them.
This in turn, had made their overall journey smoother and safer compared to how it would be if they had decided to travel by land where any random bandit group would be able to attack them.
However, this was only the first part of their journey through a few kingdoms with similar strength to the past Heavenly Sky Kingdom.
After all, the farther away from the Flying Sword Sect they got and the closer they got to the core of the Sky Empire, the stronger the average strength of the people would get. The kingdoms they passed through would in turn also be stronger.
