And in the black hole he goes

 

[CoCoShitenno]

Another opportunity to gain upperhand? Before explore new place right?

 

[SWNDLR]

This sorta reminded me of the movie Treasure Planet

 

[random_anon]

Damn, our boi Yang Kai is getting even more succ now than that night he spent with Ning Chang. What an absolute lad.

 

[SirDuncan]

This things has gone completely off the rails. Did the author see some space movies and decide cultivators in space was a good idea?

 

[Diomedes]

Hell yeah our boy getting sucked into a black hole.

Also, props on a manga like this actually leaving more than one realm. Small realm to big realm finally to SPAAAACE.

Spelljammer 'n shit, yeah!

@SirDuncan This is actually pretty standard in wuxia novels, late game, ofc.

 

[onepunchman]

ok

space, the final frontier, these are the adventures of one Yang Kai

 

[azmoon]

@HuevoPodrido never read novels, this is the first wuxia comic I've ever seen that has gone into space.

 

[SirDuncan]

@HuevoPodrido I'm not at all new to wuxia, there is always a higher realm, higher stages, the next level. New realm, start again, repeat. But space ships, phasers, star maps, and black holes? No...this is a new one.

I hope the author can pull it off since I like the series... if it's just the gateway space between realms, and he was in a small realm aiming to a bigger realm, then it will be fine. If we spend 100 chapters in Star Trek Online, that's not what I'm into.

@SirDuncan It's the first time I've seen in manhua form they actually go in spaceship etc. But there have been PLENTY of Wuxia that deals with space travel, as that is the endgame of the genre.
I also doubt we'll be in the "Starry Sky" for much longer.

 

[HuevoPodrido]

@SirDuncan For me I can say it's like the 3rd or 4th. The thing is most stories I've read did not reach that realm of...power? yet, so I'm not sure about of recurrent it'll be.
On another note, I also think It's a thing from the artists. In the books are a lot of time merely described as ships or vessels, with spiritual weapons ofc, so maybe artists interpretation went on that direction.

@SirDuncan Spoilers from the novel:

Spoiler

Don't worry, from what I've read of what's been properly translated so far, I think there's only like 3 other instances besides this where cultivators actually fight in space. Most of the time is spent on the new planets he's visiting. Maybe it'll change in the future but who knows.

 

[SirDuncan]

@sigmar2512

Thanks for the spoiler. That’s reassuring.

 

[banjomarx]

Thank you for enjoying this comic! The next chapter will be the funeral

This user is long gone, but I still find it funny how he says he's not new to wuxia, yet this work is xianxia, not wuxia, which he didn't seem to recognise. No wonder he hasn't seen space travel before if he's stuck to wuxia before this. Space travel obviously wouldn't appear that much in wuxia, which is low fantasy, as opposed to the high fantasy xianxia. Technically there could be, and probably are, scifi wuxia, where space ships would appear similarly as they do in Star Trek or Star Wars. In fact, thanks to the Jedi and Sith orders, Force and lightsabers, one might even call Star Wars a scifi wuxia story if it was from China.
