The Flowing Cloud Shuttle was a small starship designed primarily for speed, lacking the capability for long-haul flights.
It wasn't that it couldn't make long-distance trips, but it required a constant replacement of the depleted Immortal Stones to ensure a continuous source of power.
Like larger starships, the Flowing Cloud Shuttle could also perform spatial transitions, much like a Star Gate, instantly crossing billions of miles. This was the principle behind the starship's capability for Starry Sky-level voyages, something Immortals couldn't achieve.
Not a single Immortal could carry out long-distance transitions, not even the Creation Emperor possessed such ability.
The Flowing Cloud Shuttle flickered with bursts of brilliance, each flash signifying a transition, drawing it a fraction closer to the Forty-Nine Immortal City.
One hour... Five hours... Seventeen hours!
