Chapter 84: Clouds Transform into Wind and Thunder
Half a month passed quickly. By the time Cloud Sun Qi arrived at Tianling City, the three Sun Qi bodies—Stone Monkey Sun Qi, Eye Sun Qi, and Seal Sun Qi—were already prepared.
The cooldown time for the Great Sage Equaling Heaven form was short, only three days. The three bodies had attempted this form four more times in the past two weeks, gaining experience with the Spirit Skills it possessed. Soul Fusion Techniques require constant practice until both participants can maintain the state without sacrificing vital energy. When separating, apart from Soul Power consumption, there should be no damage to their vital energy, allowing them to fuse again at any time. This is the true mastery of the ability. Furthermore, a Soul Master's Spirit form duration can be extended through continuous practice.
However, this cultivation technique wasn't widely adopted in this era. At least the version commonly circulated among Soul Masters required an extremely long cooldown, preventing them from being used at will. Zhao Wuji, for example, consumed a significant amount of vital energy each time he used his Spirit form, requiring considerable time before he could activate it again.
"Let's refine the Immortal Herb first."
Stone Monkey Sun Qi handed the last Immortal Herb to Cloud Sun Qi.
Cloud Sun Qi took the jade box containing the Wind-Thunder Purple Cloud Fungus and opened it. A surge of wind and thunder energy surged out, numbing his entire body.
"Hiss!"
"This is so sour and refreshing."
"Thankfully, this is the power of the Immortal Herb; it's not very harmful to the human body."
Before being picked, the wind and thunder power within the Wind-Thunder Purple Cloud Fungus was a natural force, blocking and protecting anything that approached it. However, once picked, the wind and thunder power was completely absorbed by the herb, becoming part of it, transforming it into a true immortal product.
This was why Stone Monkey Sun Qi hadn't noticed this Immortal Herb for so long in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. Because it had been fully absorbed by the herb and transformed into medicinal power, the emanating wind and thunder energy had lost its destructive force, retaining only certain properties corresponding to its attributes. This caused the four Sun Qis to feel a tingling sensation throughout their bodies, as if they had undergone a process of tempering.
"As expected, the medicinal properties of this stuff will dissipate over time. Fortunately, it hasn't dissipated much yet. Eat it quickly," said Stone Monkey Sun Qi.
Upon hearing this, Cloud Sun Qi swallowed the Wind-Thunder Purple Cloud Fungus without hesitation. Though it was called a fungus, it was more like a ball of energy. He didn't feel anything substantial after biting it, rather like biting into a mass of fluid. The Wind-Thunder Purple Cloud Fungus itself transformed into a ball of energy, the force of wind and thunder, which flowed down his throat and into his body.
"Hmm..."
Cloud Sun Qi felt a tingling sensation throughout his body as the force of wind and thunder coursed through his body, transforming his constitution.
Compared to the physical changes, he felt the increase in his Soul Power was much smaller.
After about two and a half hours,
"The Soul Power boost isn't that strong indeed."
Cloud Sun Qi's Soul Power had reached level 23 before taking the Wind-Thunder Purple Cloud Fungus, and it was only level 29 afterward, a total increase of only six levels. This was the sixth level of a pure Great Soul Master. If converted to Soul Elder, it would probably be only around level four.
Isn't that too low?
The four Sun Qis all frowned, feeling that the Wind-Thunder Purple Cloud Fungus was a bit underrated.
Of course, this was only true in terms of Soul Power enhancement.
When it came to its transformational effects on the Soul Master's body, the Wind-Thunder Purple Cloud Fungus was truly at the level of an Immortal Herb.
"Under the transformation of the Wind-Thunder power, I have gained the ability to control the Wind-Thunder attributes. It's as if it's a talent etched directly into my genes, just like how I could directly activate my Spirit after awakening it." Cloud Sun Qi carefully sensed the changes, summarizing his own transformation. "Besides that, my Spirit has also transformed. The ability to control the Wind-Thunder attributes is both physical and a gift of the Spirit."
If before, the Cloud Spirit was just an ordinary cloud, possessing only the Water attribute and a close affinity with the Wind attribute, then now Cloud Sun Qi's Cloud Spirit possessed the Wind-Thunder attribute, fully possessing this gift.
"The cloud transforms into Wind-Thunder, and can Teleport hundreds of meters in a single breath," Cloud Sun Qi said.
Just a hundred meters?
That's not fast. Compared to true wind and thunder, especially lightning, it's far too slow.
But it's also incredibly fast, a single breath lasting only about three seconds. Covering a distance of over a hundred meters is quite impressive, especially since this is normalized and can be maintained for extended periods.
Three seconds is a hundred meters.
One hour is twelve hundred breaths, or a hundred and twenty kilometers.
"He's just a Great Soul Master, can he travel at speeds comparable to cars in his past life?"
It's interesting.
While it doesn't feel impressive, for an ordinary person, it's already quite impressive.
"The Spiritual Avatar should be the true transformation. Cloud transforming into wind and thunder is primarily about dragging the Cloud body along with it, which is a bit of a drag. In the Spiritual Avatar state, that shouldn't be a problem. The body is the Spirit, and the Spirit is the body. Transforming into wind and thunder, it can truly possess the speed of wind and thunder."
Stone Monkey Sun Qi said, "So, let's move on to the Four-in-One Spirit Fusion Technique. The previous three were Soul King-level, and now with the addition of a twenty-ninth-level Cloud body, that's at least a Soul Emperor, right?"
Could it possess the basic attributes of a Soul Emperor?
Hard to say.
But with the addition of a near-level 30th-level original, coupled with the transition from three-in-one to four-in-one, it's possible.
The four of them are a single consciousness, so they move without delay, forming a formation.
Previously, when the three were one, their positions were arbitrary; as long as the three originals weren't in a line with Stone Monkey Sun Qi at one end, fusion would be complete. Now, Stone Monkey Sun Qi would stand in the center, with the other three forming a triangle around him.
To ensure the Seal Spirit could analyze the abilities of the three originals, he was the one closest to Stone Monkey Sun Qi.
"Here we go!"
With ample experience in Spirit Fusion, Stone Monkey Sun Qi assimilated the other three originals with ease.
His power began to swell, his consciousness sublimated.
The improvement in his essence captivated him, and each Spirit transformed into a seal, becoming the most essential power, merging into his essence.
Born divine.
With each fusion, his understanding deepened.
"Wind, water, and thunder—three attributes."
This time, Sun Qi felt his own advancement.
He opened his hands, and the three elements swirled within them. He easily combined the power of wind and thunder.
"This is the ability bestowed by the Wind-Thunder Purple Cloud Fungus."
"As for water..."
Sun Qi's body began to transform. A cloud of mist appeared beneath his feet, enveloping him. It then transformed into wind and thunder, and soared upward.
In the blink of an eye, he soared into the sky.
"This is more than a hundred meters in a single breath."
Sun Qi laughed heartily, beginning to explore his current limits.
Because he had just ascended in a straight line, the people in Tianling City below could barely see him when they looked up.
He transformed into wind and thunder and began to fly horizontally.
Then, without warning, a thunderbolt flashed across the sky above Tianling City.
Suddenly, a flash of light illuminated the sky.
Just when people expected thunder and rain to come, for a long time, there was no thunder, no raindrops, only the fleeting flash of lightning.
