Mist shrouded Cloud Lake. An island floated above it without a fixed position. Beneath the mist, the lake water was sparkling with the happy beats of fish.
On top of a humongous protruding bluestone, a divine and jade-like white-robed youth was quietly sitting on it. The surface of the massive bluestone was mottled, and there were traces left behind by the waves.
The waves hit the limestone and emitted a clear sound, like a melody.
Not far away, a young girl in a pink dress was sitting on a reef with her hands on her smooth chin. She looked at the young man curiously and asked softly: "Is this training with the cloud magic?"
The white-robed youth was indeed Ling Yun. After leaving the Wind Cloud Square, he and Ling'er came to the Yunwu House together, for the sake of cultivating the cloud magic and increasing the ability to survive while exploring the ruins.
Just like the Holy Light, both needed the help of external forces. The Holy Light required the sun's fire, and the cloud magic required the essence of cloud and mist.
In the entire Soaring Cloud Empire, where the purest cloud essence was found and where the most suitable place to cultivate the cloud magic was found, Cloud Lake was definitely the first place because it was a mist formed by the heavens and the earth that did not disperse.
His breathing, at this moment, had become extremely weak. As he breathed in and out, wisps of misty clouds turned into white smoke, and entered's body through his nose, flowing along the circulation routes of the cloud magic's meridians.
The spirit energy in his body, along with some transparent mental energy, was circulating along his meridians. It was difficult in the beginning, even if the cloud magic was created by him, and he had cultivated it once, it was a different body. Now that he was recultivating it, he needed to slowly improve it.
The process was abnormally boring, but Ling Yun's mind was calm and empty.
Strands of clouds turned into white smoke and entered his body through his breath. The speed gradually increased, making him look as if he was shrouded in clouds, making him appear ethereal.
The spiritual energy and spiritual force carried along the clouds and mist in his meridians, and wherever they passed, the clouds and mist would separate and fuse into his flesh and blood. By the time every inch of his flesh and blood had fused with his body, the cloud magic could be considered to have reached a perfect level of cultivation.
The cloud magic was a secret heaven level technique, so one could imagine the difficulty of cultivating it. Even as the creator, Ling Yun had to use a full four hours to circulate the cloud magic once.
Secret arts were also known as the secret method, and there were different levels of strength, with three of them being Heaven, Earth, and Human. There were also the auxiliary secret arts, the offensive techniques, and the escape techniques …
After circulating it for one full cycle, the cloud magic could be considered as the starting point, giving him a kind of extra ethereal feeling. It was clearly just in front of his eyes, yet it also seemed to not exist, and was more than twice as strong as the form he executed with the help of his secret technique.
Ling Yun reckoned that the current him, as long as he activated cloud magic, he would be able to easily dissolve 20% of the opponent's strength. Of course, this was only to say that the opponent's strength was equivalent to the opponent's, and once the opponent's strength exceeded the opponent's endurance, dissolving the opponent's so-called strength was completely useless.
Ling Yun slowly opened his eyes and within his bright eyes that was like a river of stars, there seemed to be a sheet of snow-white color, as if there was a layer of faint clouds lingering around it.
There were risks to cultivating the cloud magic. Before Ling Yun created the cloud magic, there were people who wanted to absorb and refine the mist to make themselves invisible, to dissolve the path of attack. In the end, their eyes were covered by the mist and they could not melt it.
