Some water vapor seeped through the damp stone wall and flowed along the surface of the crystalline stalagmite that was hanging upside down, gathering into a translucent drop of Stone Milk at its tip!
Drip!
Just when the drop of Stone Milk was about to separate from the tip of the stalagmite and fall into the milky pool down below …
Hum!
A yellow light suddenly appeared and swept across the tip of the crystalline stalagmite. The drop of Stone Milk that looked like a water droplet seemed to be sealed by some power and became yellow and frozen!
Drip!
Several seconds later, the yellow light disappeared, and the drop of Stone Milk fell into the pool down below, causing obvious ripples!
"Finally, I've made a breakthrough!"
Ji Ye, who was sitting cross-legged next to the Stone Milk Pool, looked slightly tired.
"Earth's Boon: Adept!"
After half a day of consuming EXP, he finally leveled up his second skill to the "Adept" level!
"Mental power level: Extraordinary Rank-5!"
Correspondingly, the level of his mental power had also reached Extraordinary Rank-5, a critical point where there was a qualitative change.
On the Land of Inheritance, mental power had another function apart from mental attacks, which was to strengthen one's thinking and reaction speed.
It was also why Ji Ye was able to shatter the Green Light Rune Arrow with the tip of the Black Serpent Sword when he was faced with the Eagle Men's arrows in the sea.
It must be noted that it was not far from shattering a high-speed bullet with the tip of a sword!
However, Ji Ye had only done that with his eyesight.
If the enemy were to ambush him from behind, it would be hard for him to react in time. He wouldn't even be able to distinguish the direction of the arrow by the sound of the wind.
That was because the Eagle Men's Green Light Arrow seemed to be able to ignore gravity and air resistance, and it made very little noise.
Also, the arrows shot by the Commander-level Eagle Men flew faster than the speed of sound!
Ji Ye didn't know until later that Lu Zhishen hadn't determined the location of the arrow by relying on the sound of the wind. Instead, he had discovered the green light in the fog because of Ji Ye's reminder. He had also smashed the arrow away with his eyesight and strong reflexes.
However, after his mental power reached Extraordinary Rank-5, he had gained an ability similar to a sixth sense, which allowed him to detect anomalies within a certain range.
Remote perception was exactly the qualitative change of his mental power after it entered Extraordinary Rank-5.
Now, even if the Eagle Men were ambushing him, Ji Ye could still dodge them to a certain extent. Together with his Healing talent, he was very confident!
However, speaking of the Eagle Men's sneak attack!
"Eagle Men, still no movement?"
After the breakthrough, Ji Ye walked out of the cave that had now been named "Stone Milk Cave". He looked up at the setting sun in the sky.
"Not yet!"
The stockade soldier and his two guards answered.
"Collect all the Stalactites and return to the stronghold first. Tonight, we'll be on high alert!"
Ji Ye frowned slightly.
In fact, the Twin Dragon Mount fort wasn't really scared of the Eagle Men's ambush. After all, it was heavily defended.
What was more troublesome were the various resource points.
Resources such as the Red Pip fruit and the Earth Milk, which could directly improve one's strength, would be a great loss if they were stolen or destroyed by the Eagle Men.
Those two resources were even better. After all, they were on the territory of the human race on the Twin Dragon Mount.
What was more troublesome were the resources in the alien race's territory. For example, the Forest Monsters' mahogany and purple wood couldn't be moved away and could only be guarded, which gave the Eagle Men a chance to ambush them.
The Metal Men's Silver Liquid was relatively safe, because the Eagle Men were to the north of the Twin Dragon Mount, and the Metal Men's settlement was to the south.
"Perhaps, we also need to establish a more professional troop of scouts and sentinels!"
With that in mind, Ji Ye returned to the fort with his two guards.
Theoretically speaking, he could choose to defend the settlement outside. With his strength, the Eagle Men wouldn't succeed if they ran into him!
However, the Eagle Men's ambush was only a possibility, and it was impossible to determine the target of the ambush in advance.
Therefore, it was more appropriate for Ji Ye to stay in the stronghold and reinforce them if anything happened.
On the other hand, Ji Ye returned to the stronghold for something else, which was that the Fusion talent was on cooldown again.
The last time he fused the Healing Jade Pendant, it took him a surprisingly short time, and the Cooldown was already over.
It wasn't dark yet, and the Eagle Men wouldn't be in such a hurry to ambush him. So, he had enough time to use the Fusion talent again.
However, what should he fuse this time?
Ji Ye had two choices.
One of them was the two Superior purple wooden sticks left by the Forest Monster King. Theoretically, he should be able to get a "Perfect" offering after he fused them. The other one was a little special, and that was to fuse the Earth's Boon that he had just cultivated to the "Adept" level.
The target of the fusion was the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique that he obtained from Gongsun Sheng.
The Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique was the core technique of Master Luo, Gongsun Sheng's master, and it was also the reason why Gongsun Sheng was able to arrive after passing the Perfect offering test.
What was the Five Thunder?
It wasn't natural lightning as many people thought!
In fact, the Five Thunder of Daoism were Heavenly Thunder, Earth Thunder, Water Thunder, Divine Thunder, and Society Thunder!
The Heavenly Thunder was in charge of the four seasons and calamities, capturing demons and devils, and eliminating plagues.
The Earth Thunder was in charge of creating all things, nourishing the five grains, eliminating insects and locusts, slaying the Mountain Spirits and Stone Monsters, clearing the miasma, plucking the dead, and controlling the Earth Dragon.
Obviously, those two kinds of thunder couldn't be fully mastered at the moment.
The third kind was the Water Thunder. It was in charge of summoning thunder to summon rain, relieve droughts, and eliminate Flood Dragons, vipers, and demons.
This kind of thunder technique was undoubtedly very powerful.
If Ji Qian had mastered the Water Thunder Technique, he could probably kill a lot of the Mirage Monsters with one lightning strike. Even his Flood Dragon Bloodline was restrained by the Water Thunder Technique!
Of course, the restraint didn't actually exist. The real reason was that whoever was stronger could restrain the other!
The fourth kind was the Society Thunder Technique, which could summon the gods!
For example, the Golden Armored Heavenly General that Gongsun Sheng invited when he descended previously belonged to this category of Thunder Arts!
The last kind was the Divine Thunder, which was the thunder of the five elements, and it was in charge of killing and conquering!
It was mentioned in Ji Gong's Biography, "The Five Thunder Bombardment of Heaven consists of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."
Metal thunder was related to metal objects, such as knives, swords, metals, and ironware. Wood thunder was related to wooden utensils, such as sticks and trees. Water thunder was related to water, such as drowning, flooding, and so on. Fire thunder was a disaster of fire, etc. Landmines refer to burying and burying a house when it collapses!
Earth's Boon conflicted with the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique, and they couldn't be practiced at the same time.
For ordinary people, they could only choose one of them.
Ji Ye, on the other hand, could try to fuse the two techniques!
"Let's fuse them!"
In the end, he made a choice.
He wasn't in a hurry to find a Perfect offering. After all, he couldn't use a simple offering, and he needed a Soul of Civilization of the corresponding level.
At this moment, almost all the alien races had been annihilated, and only half of the Mirage Monsters were left. Even though there were a lot of resources in the ocean, it was unlikely that an Extraordinary Rank-5 Commander-level hero would emerge.
Therefore, he could only get the Soul of Civilization from the Eagle Men.
In that case, it would be pointless to fuse them in a hurry. He couldn't improve himself before the battle against the Eagle Men.
Therefore, fusing the skills was a more suitable choice.
Because he had both the skills, Ji Ye only needed to sit cross-legged on the ground to start the fusion process.
As white light rose from his body, Ji Ye received the result of the fusion about half an hour later.

[Level: Extraordinary]
[Rarity: Superior]
[Description: This is a branch skill obtained by fusing Earth's Boon with the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique. After the Earth Thunder Power is condensed in the spleen, it can be used to control the earthly aura and perform Daoist techniques such as Distance Reduction and Rock Shifting!]
