The Cloud Condensing Technique was a Third Grade Secret Technique. It was quite mysterious and difficult to cultivate.
Of course, the difficulty of cultivating it was closely related to one's ability.
The Profound Cloud Pill had strengthened Chen Zong's already strong perception, making it easier for him to comprehend the mysteries of the Cloud Condensing Technique. However, it was a pity that the effects of one Profound Cloud Pill could only last for two hours.
Chen Zong did not plan to take the other two Profound Cloud Pills. After half a day, Chen Zong had completely comprehended the mysteries of the Cloud Condensing Technique.
After comprehending it, Chen Zong rested for a while and adjusted himself. Then, he took out the Cloud Seed and refined it with the Cloud Condensing Art.
Spirit energy spread out and swirled like clouds, wrapping around the Cloud Seed and penetrating it from all directions.
His powerful Spiritual Sense continued to penetrate deeper and deeper into the Cloud Seed.
Within the cloud seed, there were countless veined patterns. Upon closer inspection, they looked like tunnels that crisscrossed in all directions, weaving back and forth in an incomparably mysterious manner.
Chen Zong's Spirit Energy slowly penetrated the Cloud Seed and flowed through the channels. Every channel had to be filled to the brim in order to successfully refine the Cloud Seed.
The Cloud Seed was only the size of a thumb, but there were ten thousand channels inside. Each channel was extremely fine, so it was difficult to inject Spirit Energy into them. It required sufficient control over one's own Spirit Energy and a strong enough Spiritual Sense to be able to fully utilize it.
Most White Cloud Mountain disciples would need a month just to refine the Cloud Seed, and another two months or so to cultivate the Cloud Condensing Technique. In total, it would take about three months.
However, Chen Zong's Spiritual Sense had reached the Ninth Layer of the Transcendent Realm. His control over his own Spirit Energy was also extremely high, benefiting from his past accumulation and hard work.
Thus, the spirit force entered the first channel in the cloud seed like a thread and quickly spread through the channel. It filled up the channel and then quickly split into two more channels, four more channels …
With full concentration, Chen Zong used his powerful Spiritual Sense to explore and control his Spirit Energy, injecting it into ten channels at the same time, quickly filling them up.
Time passed slowly.
Two hours later, Chen Zong was still channeling his spiritual power into the cloud seed.
The amount of Spirit Energy a Cloud Seed could hold wasn't actually that much, even an ordinary First Order Transcendent Realm cultivator would be able to fill it to the brim. The difficulty lay in controlling one's Spirit Energy, which was extremely taxing on one's mind and Spiritual Sense.
Fortunately, Chen Zong's soul sense and mind were strong enough.
Four hours!
Six hours!
All of a sudden, the Cloud Seed released a ball of intense and dazzling white light. The halo spread out like water ripples.
Chen Zong felt that he had established a close connection with the cloud seed, like an arm and a finger.
After refining the cloud seed, the next step was naturally to use the cloud seed as a foundation to cultivate the Cloud Condensing Technique and condense the white clouds in the sky.
White Cloud Mountain was ten thousand meters tall. Clouds began to appear at three thousand meters. The higher one went, the thicker the clouds became.
Outer sect Heaven Rank disciples like Chen Zong lived at a height of seven thousand meters. Clouds were everywhere, and to cultivate the Condensing Cloud Technique, one had to be in a place with clouds. The thicker the clouds, the better the effect.
Of course, this wasn't absolute. Even if the clouds were as thick as a solid substance, one still had to consider one's absorption ability.
Chen Zong began to cultivate the Condensing Cloud Technique. Clouds began to gather from all directions, with the cloud seed as the center, like a hundred rivers converging to the sea.
Clouds circled around the cloud seed, like invisible silkworms spitting silk, gradually increasing in size.
The density of the clouds here was just right for him to cultivate the Condensing Cloud Technique, so there was no need to go elsewhere.
As soon as he started cultivating the Condensing Cloud Technique, Chen Zong knew that it wouldn't be easy.
The difficulty was not that it was difficult to cultivate, but that it was very easy to cultivate. As long as one understood it thoroughly, it would be very easy to cultivate. However, the speed of condensing the clouds was not fast. Strands of clouds were absorbed and condensed into the cloud seed. That cloud of clouds revolved around the cloud seed and grew bit by bit. At this speed, it was not easy to condense a white cloud with a radius of one meter.
If comprehending the Condensing Cloud Technique was a test of comprehension, refining the cloud seed was a test of one's control of spiritual power, then condensing the clouds was a test of one's patience.
Chen Zong was completely immersed in it, eliminating all distracting thoughts. With the support of his strong soul and spiritual sense, he continued to use the Condensing Cloud Technique to condense thousands of clouds.
Even so, after a day, Chen Zong felt tired and had to stop to regulate his breathing.
After regulating his breathing, he used the Condensing Cloud Technique again and repeated the process.
In the other cloud halls, there were also some new disciples comprehending the Condensing Cloud Technique and refining the cloud seed. Some even began to use the Condensing Cloud Technique to condense clouds.
These people happened to know the hidden rule of White Cloud Mountain. Of course, not everyone knew about it. Only a small number of people knew about it.
"I must break the record and get the 10,000 contribution points reward." The eyes of the person in the 208th cloud hall were extremely sharp. He stared at the fluctuating clouds in front of him and said loudly.
It seemed that he was very confident about breaking the record.
Yu Nianxin was also cultivating the Condensing Cloud Technique, constantly condensing clouds.
One day!
Two days!
Three days!
…
Time passed slowly.
Chen Zong had completely forgotten about the first 13 levels of the White Cloud Ultimate Technique. He was wholeheartedly focused on the Condensing Cloud Technique.
On the ninth day, Chen Zong stopped cultivating. His eyes were filled with joy as he stared at a white cloud in front of him. It was at least one meter long and one meter wide. It looked soft and fluffy. It was white and flawless, like an oversized cotton candy.
Although it looked soft, when Chen Zong pressed his palm on it, he could feel a sense of toughness. The deeper he went, the stronger the toughness and resistance. It even produced a rebounding force that wanted to push Chen Zong's palm away.
Chen Zong estimated that this rebounding force was equivalent to the strength of a Level 1 Dragon Power Realm Body Refiner.
"Not bad." Chen Zong revealed a smile and nodded his head. Then, he leaped lightly and landed on the white cloud that was one meter in radius.
Just as he landed, the white cloud in the sky swayed, and even Chen Zong's body became unstable, almost falling. Fortunately, Chen Zong's control of his body was very good, and he managed to stabilize himself in time.
However, this was his first time riding the White Cloud. Even if it was his own White Cloud, it was normal for him to be inexperienced.
After about ten breaths, Chen Zong had completely stabilized himself. With a thought, the White Cloud under his feet floated forward. It wasn't fast because Chen Zong was trying.
The White Cloud was condensed using the cloud seed as the foundation. The cloud seed was refined by him and had a close connection with him. In other words, the White Cloud was closely connected to him.
Chen Zong tried again and again. After ten tries, Chen Zong could already control the white clouds very well. He could fly at high speed within the Cloud Hall.
This speed was even faster than when he didn't use his Movement Skill.
"Let's go outside and try," Chen Zong said to himself, opening the cloud hall's protective barrier and riding the White Cloud out.
The one-meter wide White Cloud was the lowest level of White Cloud Flight. It also had the lowest increase in speed, only 1%.
For example, Chen Zong's current cultivation was at the peak of the Transcendent Fifth Layer. If he pushed his Spirit Energy to the limit and didn't use his Movement Skill, assuming his speed was a thousand metres per breath, then the one-meter wide White Cloud Flight would allow Chen Zong to reach a speed of a thousand and ten metres per breath.
The increase was very small, but it was better than nothing. However, in the Lingwu Holy World, only those who had reached the Saint Realm could fly with their own strength. Transcendents couldn't do so.
Therefore, Transcendents who possessed the White Cloud Flight had an advantage over others.
Moreover, the more condensed the White Cloud Flight was, the faster it would increase its speed.
2%!
3%!
This increase was becoming more and more obvious.
After leaving the Cloud Palace, Chen Zong rode on the white clouds in the sky and traveled at full speed with ease.
Although it was slower than using the Heavenly Crane Chasing Wind Movement Skill, he could fly at a high altitude. This was not something that could be achieved by using a Movement Skill.
Moreover, as he continued to improve, his speed would also continue to increase.
After circling the sky a few times, Chen Zong flew towards the Sect Hall.
White Cloud Mountain was ten thousand metres high. In the entire Sky Bearing Sky Territory, it was a famous mountain. Although it wasn't the tallest, it was still ranked in the top three.
The mountain was so tall that it covered a large area. It had a radius of several thousand kilometres, and there were many peaks of different sizes.
The large peaks were over a hundred kilometres high, while the small peaks were several kilometres high.
For example, the Cloud Hall of the Outer Sect Heaven Rank disciples was located on a mountain peak that was over twenty kilometres wide.
The Sect Hall was located on another mountain peak.
If one used a Movement Skill, they would first have to jump down the mountain and reach the bottom. Of course, the bottom of the mountain wasn't the bottom of White Cloud Mountain, because no matter the size of the mountain, the bottom of the mountain was at least five kilometres high.
The Royal Flying Cloud flew past quickly, crossing the void between the mountains.
After half an hour, Chen Zong landed outside the Sect Hall, and the white cloud under his feet dissipated.
Stepping into the Sect Hall, Chen Zong immediately stated his purpose for coming.
"Summon your Flight Cloud Technique." The Sect Hall Elder stared at Chen Zong and said unhurriedly.
With a thought from Chen Zong, tens of thousands of clouds surged forth and gathered under his feet. In a short period of time, a white cloud with a radius of one meter was formed. It carried Chen Zong's body and slowly floated into the air. Then, it quickly circled around the Sect Affairs Hall before landing back down.
"Give me your disciple token." The Sect Hall Elder said again. He verified it, and then his eyes widened.
The verification was correct. This person was indeed a new disciple, and it had only been nine days since he entered White Cloud Mountain.
In other words, he only spent nine days to master the Cloud Condensing Technique.
The original record was twelve days, and this record was broken.
"Very good. You've broken the record and set a new record. You'll be rewarded with ten thousand contribution points. You'll be rewarded with one thousand and five thousand contribution points in one month and half a month respectively." The Sect Affair Hall's elder was all smiles as he immediately transferred 16,000 contribution points to Chen Zong's disciple token.
"Thank you, Sect Hall Elder." Chen Zong took the token and bowed.
"Chen Zong, right? Cultivate well. I hope to see you shine one day." The Sect Hall Elder said with a smile.
"I'll keep that in mind." Chen Zong said, "I'll take my leave now."
"Go. Cultivate well."
Once again, he summoned the Flight Cloud Technique and quickly flew to the Sky Peak of the outer sect's Heaven Rank disciples. Chen Zong pondered. What should he exchange sixteen thousand contribution points for?
