Scarlet Cloud Mountain World, the summit Soaring Cloud Peak

A black-robed man was currently sitting and leaning back on a stone chair. He was drinking wine while looking at the rising and dipping ranges of mountains. He loved this place very much because it was high enough for him to overlook the many mountains. Ever since his youth, when living at the Snowrock Castle, Xue Ying would love this feeling of looking down at the vast world! And this ‘Soaring Cloud Peak’ was indeed high enough and peaceful enough that he would not get interrupted during his practice of spear techniques!

At night, he would gaze at the moonlight on top of the Soaring Cloud Peak, wondering at how the moonlight brightened the entire Scarlet Cloud Mountain World.

During the day, he would be able to see the clouds moving amidst the mountains, and that view was something absolutely beautiful.

Xue Ying rarely drank when he was young.

However, the older he got, the more frequent he would drink. Every time he pondered his spear technique and pondered the world, he would become joyful, yet there was no one around him to share this joy with. As a result, he would drink.

The road of cultivation for a Transcendent was, after all, a lonely one!

Of course, even though it was lonely during cultivation, a Transcendent might not be that lonely in terms of his relations.

‘Who would have thought that the person most formidable in cultivation in our Clan is my father!’ Xue Ying shook his head and laughed. Having completed the 10 life-death missions, he would frequently go home. He would usually also transmit messages through the communication wristband, ‘And as I expected, mother and brother are stuck at the Silver Moon mage level. As for Uncle Tong, after drinking down the spirit liquid from the Stone of Oceanic World six years ago, he had, at the very least, stepped into the Meteor rank. It’s just that Uncle Zong has cultivated at a speed that could not reach that of my father’s.”

Amongst his kin…

If given a choice in choosing the person who would first become a Legend ranker, Xue Ying would have chosen Uncle Zong!

But in reality… recently, his father, Dong Bo Lie, had become a Legend ranker and the only Legend expert within the Dong Bo Clan.

‘When I saved father, he was merely a heaven level knight’. Xue Ying sighed.

His own high innate talent in cultivation could be said to be inherited from the positive traits of both his parents. Thus, from this point of argument, his own father would certainly have a high innate talent as well.

Contemplating it thoroughly…

His father had no contact with any Qi cultivation methods when he was young. It was only after he grew up and joined the army that he had any contact with Qi. Thereafter, his father learned a lower grade Qi cultivation method that was worse than Xue Ying’s in the past! Starting cultivation at such an old age with such a poor Qi cultivation method, he would, as a result, get stuck at the bottleneck of a Heaven level knight! And Uncle Zong was someone from the royalty of the Snake Clan with good cultivation methods. He started from youth and had only been a heaven level knight that year – the same as his father. It was only due to the unique traits of a Six-Armed Devil Serpent that made him stronger than his father by a whole level.

From this perspective, his own father should have an extremely high innate talent.

After that, his father was captured for 20 years – a 20 year break in his cultivation. After Xue Ying saved his parents, he provided large amounts of spiritual liquid from the Stone of Oceanic World. He provided other top graded cultivation resources as well – like the Qi cultivation methods – from the mortal world. To a Transcendent, providing such excellent conditions for cultivation was something done easily. Thus, it should be natural for his father to suddenly breakthrough fiercely.

‘Father, mother, Uncle Zong and Uncle Tong. Amongst the four of them, I reckon that it should be my father who has the greatest innate talent. It’s just that he had no chance to cultivate.’ Xue Ying laughed before standing up suddenly.

Stretching his hand, the Black Dragon Spear appeared within it.

Hong!

His spear techniques were instantly displayed.

Hong long long~ One could see that Xue Ying’s spear techniques – regardless of whether it was a furious sweep or a direct stab – the sound produced from the spear was loud, like a mighty thunderclap suppressing all in its path! On the spear, there were even water and fire revolving around it, with some vague sense of wind streams intertwined with the revolving water and fire. All these brought a great increase in the power of that spear.

‘This is the spear technique that I wanted.’

‘This spear technique is even more formidable than just having a spear technique solely formed with the Profound Mysteries of Water and Fire.’ Xue Ying was full of joy.

Last year, after he fused the Profound Mysteries of Water and Fire perfectly, the Profound Mysteries of Water and Fire had become a single entity. That time, his killing move – ‘Water and Fire Twin Dragon Attack’ – it basically utilised the Profound Mystery of Water, before converting it perfectly into that of Fire. In actual fact, it was just a conjugation transformation! It was just the first step towards fusion. But last year… he successfully and perfectly fused both Profound Mysteries together as one!

With the rotational power of water, it would increase the explosive ferocity of the flames. And if the explosiveness of the flame became more fierce, the water rotational power would be even stronger. These two Profound Mysteries would complement each other, creating a qualitative change. Any hit or hack would produce an immense power.

But after the perfect fusion of Profound Mysteries of Water and Fire, Xue Ying gradually realised a weakness within.

‘It is too dull.’
