Chapter 486
“There has never been a record about that, not even in the history books in Cloud Forest from a thousand years ago.”
The fierce Yim Mo Chiu sneered upon hearing them. “Of course there would never be any rock monkey that would be fed with the world’s kindness; with the rumours about its heart, which human could contain their greed? Humans are just like snakes trying to swallow an elephant.”
Chui Yim looked up at the sky and back to the Cloud Palace members.
After a short pause, he flashed them a wide smile. “There will be one starting today.”
The thunderstorm dispersed slowly, revealing the sun that shone down on Chui Yim’s palm.
The tiny greyish-white monkey looked like a cute, living rock. It opened its eyes slowly.
Beasts normally viewed the first living thing they saw in their life as their parent. Normally, it was heaven and earth that welcomed rock monkeys to the world, but not for this rock monkey. It was welcomed by an extremely shiny bald head instead.
It did not fear Chui Yim, it only felt love and curiosity. It was so tiny that Chui Yim couldn’t imagine how it would grow into a beast that possessed the ability to influence the world. The monkey reached out for Chui Yim’s finger with its tiny hands, sucking on it and crying softly again when it realised that there was nothing to fill it up and it was still hungry.
The monkey was just like any other baby beast, and understanding Chui Yim’s intention, the Cloud Palace members wore huge smiles.
Indeed, they were currently in Lost in the Clouds, somewhere separated from the outside world. Nobody here would hurt it. The seven proud disciples of Cloud Palace did not care for the rock monkey’s heart.
At the peak of the mountain, the elder was still fishing in the clouds. Behind him stood another elderly man who had a snowy white crane next to him, leaning on him gently.
“Are you going to leave?” The fishing elder was none other than the Seven-Star Elder. He spoke casually as if he was having a chit-chat.
“It’s natural for me to take my leave after reaching my goal, right?” The elder behind him shrugged, not minding that the man in front of him was most likely the most powerful man on the planet.
The Seven-Star Elder laughed. This was the reason why Bak Wun became his crane keeper; Bak Wun did not respect and fear him like the rest of the world would.
“He’s not bad, right? The kiddo I brought over.”
The elderly man was Bak Wun. However, he looked very energetic, face flushing pink just like a teenager at the prime of his year showing off his favourite toy to his friend instead of lacking vitality.
“Great Senior Brother, why...?” Chui Yim thought, but he did not know how to phrase his question.
“Are all the seniors both gliphers and gliphists?” Kam Chin Kee finished his sentence.
They noticed it from the start, but they also thought they were seeing it wrong.
Hui Sai Cheong had a strong body, an obvious point that he was a glipher, yet he was able to draw gliphs casually like a gliphist above the ten-gliphic state!
Wong Kei had an incredible mental state, obviously a hundred-gliphic state gliphist, but he was able to smack a fly a few meters away with his pure strength and no energliph involved.
Every day in Cloud Palace flipped the boys’ knowledge upside down!
Sung Tsz Hin was taken aback, but very soon, he laughed. “Every junior asked me the same question, but I did not expect the two of you to realize it so soon.”
With a smile, he opened his palm, his white, slender hands enough to make many females go crazy for him. Gliph strings formed rapidly on his palm and took the form of a fresh flower. “There aren’t any gliphers or gliphists in Cloud Palace.
“In today’s world, gliphers cultivate their body while gliphists cultivate their mental strength.
“But there was no such difference in the past.” Sung Tsz Hin smiled and flicked his finger, a strong wind sent out at the flower made of gliph strings, causing it to disappear. “In the past, the correct way was to cultivate both; one would only cultivate gliphism.”
“But...” Kam Chin Kee spoke up hesitantly. “Humans are limited in time and strength, how can we do both?”
“That only applies to ordinary people.” Sung Tsz Hin waved his hands.
“Not everyone can cultivate gliphism, but similarly, not everyone can join Cloud Palace. In reality, it was separated into two different careers to lower the threshold of cultivation. The pro is that it increased the number of cultivators, but the con is that the quality decreased.
“I bet you guys have heard of necrocultivators, am I right?” Sung Tsz Hin lowered his voice when he got to this point.
The figure of the crazy old woman immediately appeared in Chui Yim’s mind and he nodded.
“They’re able to be invincible in their state and even fight those above their state because, other than the malevolent styles they cultivate, every member of theirs cultivates gliphism.”
