The vortex of wind spanned across the void.
Wei Yang and the others looked down from above.
Borrowing the faint light of the stars, they could just barely make out its rough outline.
"The Nine Serene Wind Fla should be right at the center of that vortex — the wind eye." Wei Yang pointed toward the very middle of the vortex as he spoke.
"Mm." Xian’er and the others nodded.
A strange place like this, able to give birth to the tenth-ranked Nine Serene Wind Fla, was nothing surprising. And the Nine Serene Wind Fla would definitely be born within the wind eye.
"Young Master, was this where we ca out from before?" Qing Lin asked curiously.
"No." Wei Yang shook his head, moving his finger to point at the wind outlet of the vortex. "We ca out from here."
"Just the outlet alone has such frightening power — wouldn’t the actual interior of the vortex be even more terrifying?" Xian’er frowned, "And the closer we get to the wind eye, the power will definitely increase exponentially. I don’t know if we can withstand it."
With a diater spanning over a thousand li, from the edge of the wind vortex to the wind eye was still more than five hundred li — not a short distance.
"Master, why don’t Du Jiao and I go in first to test it out?" Ah Da suggested.
"Let’s go down and take a look first." Wei Yang waved his hand, his figure moving as he plunged downward, "Co."
Above, Xian’er and the others quickly followed.
Standing at the edge of the vortex, a powerful suction tugged at their bodies, trying to draw them in. However, this level of force was far from enough to truly shake them.
After carefully feeling out the strength of the suction, Wei Yang finally spoke: "Not bad. The intensity’s around the level of a low-to-mid Dou Huang. Looks like most of the wind is generated within the wind eye, not from pulling in surrounding airflow."
The spot they were standing on was exactly where the inflow and outflow of wind intersected.
His gaze shifted forward, toward the rapidly spinning black vortex, and he muttered, "Not sure how strong it is inside."
"Let’s test it."
Raising his hand, two fingers like a sword, he casually thrust forward.
Whoosh!
A black sword light burst from his fingertips, streaking through the void and, in the blink of an eye, piercing straight into the vortex from the edge.
Clang clang clang~
When the sword light collided with the vortex, it produced sounds like tal striking tal, sparks scattering in all directions.
It was just like throwing a thin iron rod into a rapidly spinning turbine.
Before long—
Bang!
The sword light was shredded by the vortex, having only advanced less than ten ters.
This sight made Wei Yang raise an eyebrow in surprise. "Not bad at all."
Even though it had been a casual strike, he was still a Three-Star Dou Zong. Yet the sword light he released couldn’t even last ten ters.
The power inside this vortex was even stronger than he had imagined.
"Let
try." Xian’er waved her hand, sending out a streak of pale-green Dou Qi whip that shot into the vortex.
Clang clang clang~
The tallic clashing sound rang out again. This ti, it lasted longer — the pale-green Dou Qi whip pushed forward nearly thirty ters before it was torn apart.
But this result still left Wei Yang and the others speechless, exchanging glances with each other.
This power... was a bit too much to handle.
Xian’er was already at the peak of Dou Zong.
And that was just at the outermost edge of the vortex. If they went deeper, wouldn’t they have a high chance of being shredded to pieces?
Even Du Jiao, with his thick skin and tough flesh, might not be able to endure it. Not to ntion, once they reached the wind eye, they would still have to battle the Nine Serene Wind Fla whose power was completely unknown.
"Let’s retreat for now. Rest a few days before making a move." Wei Yang frowned.
They returned to the space above the vortex. The group sat cross-legged, silently cultivating to recover. Suspended above their heads was a green sun the size of a millstone, releasing a faint green fla-like light that shone upon them.
It could both assist them in recovery and help keep watch. Although, in a place this deserted and godforsaken, there was hardly a need to keep watch.
After a long while—
Wei Yang finally opened his eyes slowly, exhaling a long breath of turbid air.
Sweeping his gaze around, he saw that Xian’er and the others were still in recovery and hadn’t woken up yet.
He didn’t disturb them. Instead, resting his chin on one hand, he gazed downward, silently staring at that massive vortex of wind.
He clicked his tongue softly.
They had found the Nine Serene Wind Fla, but capturing it... that was going to be a pain.
Right now, they couldn’t even make it past the first hurdle — they couldn’t even get close enough to see the Nine Serene Wind Fla’s face.
And judging by the situation, the Nine Serene Wind Fla was definitely not going to be easy to deal with.
Born in an environnt like this, it had already endured an untold number of years. Its power was unlikely to be anything low.
At the very least, the Black Storm recorded in the Great Plains of the Black Region had a history that couldn’t even be traced — it had been there for a very, very long ti.
For as long as records of the Black-Corner Region existed, the Black Storm had been there.
After such long years, the Nine Serene Wind Fla’s rank... even guessing it to be a low-level Dou Zun was being conservative. Mid-to-high level wouldn’t be surprising at all.
In short — troubleso.
If it were only the Nine Serene Wind Fla, it would still be manageable. An unowned Heavenly Fla, no matter how strong, could be dealt with — just like the Life Spirit Fla.
But trying to take it down in this kind of environnt made things much harder. Of course, if it already had high intelligence, that was another story entirely. That would make it even more difficult.
If that were the case, Wei Yang’s group might as well forget it and just pat their butts and leave.
Just think about the Three Thousand Burning Fla in the Pill Tower.
That thing, even the Pill Tower’s Three Leaders — including the old ancestor — couldn’t do much about it. All they could do was lock it away.
It’s not the Heavenly Fla’s power that’s most frightening — it’s when the Heavenly Fla has intelligence.
Once a Heavenly Fla has developed a certain level of intelligence, even if you manage to subdue it, or even form a bond with it, very few people would dare take the risk of swallowing it into their bodies to refine.
That’s no different from gambling with your life.
Unless you’re Xiao Yan.
Or you’re absurdly strong — so strong that even if the Heavenly Fla exploded inside your body, it still couldn’t harm you.
Wei Yang shook his head, putting the thoughts aside.
Flipping his hand, he took out a jade bottle and opened it.
A mass of misty gray airflow floated out, hovering before him.
This was a cluster of soul origin — sothing Protector Tie had ford after fusing Yun Shan along with hundreds or even thousands of soul bodies.
A chaotic mass with no consciousness.
Wei Yang raised his hand and said softly, "Death Life."
Weng~
The green sun above his head trembled slightly.
Then, it spewed out a stream of green fla.
As it fell, the green fla’s color rapidly changed, turning into black fla.
The black fla landed in Wei Yang’s palm. With a flick of his hand, the black fla wrapped around that cluster of soul origin, beginning to burn and temper it.
Crackle crackle~
Inside the black fla, countless tiny arcs of lightning flickered and danced. These fine arcs of lightning spread densely over the mass of soul origin. With the aid of lightning, the tempering of this soul origin beca even more thorough.
Sss sss sss~
As the faint sizzling sound rang out—
Thin wisps of pale gray smoke were extracted from deep within the soul origin, curling upward in a slow drift.
Seeing this, Wei Yang imdiately took out another jade bottle and tossed it forward.
The jade bottle hung upside down in the air, its mouth aid at the rising wisps of pale gray smoke, swallowing them all up completely.
Xian’er and the others, gradually waking from their ditation, silently watched.
The hand seals in Wei Yang’s hands shifted, the black fla squirming until it transford into a black sun the size of a fist, hovering there and slowly rotating.
Then, the temperature of the black fla was adjusted to a steady level.
Only after doing all this did Wei Yang glance at Ah Da with a smile, "This soul origin is for you."
Hearing this, Ah Da was overjoyed. He imdiately dropped to the ground, bowing respectfully, "Thank you, Master."
A massive tonic indeed.
