--- Chapter 309 ---
Everyone witnessed Yun Xiao choose the third option. They were shocked because he could maintain such clarity before three priceless rewards.
After all, the first option could grant Yun Xiao a "Profound Handle" and a strong affinity for lightning attributes.
The second option's worth is no less than the first one because even a person like Huan Caiyi wants to own Golden Crow's bloodline modified by Yu Long, especially after he explained the hidden secret behind blood transplantation.
However, despite all the odds, Yun Xiao chose the third option with an unknown prospect.
Don't get Huan Caiyi wrong. She knew any Profound Art Yu Long created was an absolute masterpiece that could change one's fate and cause a bloodbath by sheer worth alone.
However, that doesn't mean anyone can learn it.
While Huan Caiyi knew Yun Xiao was talented enough to be the young leader of the Yun Family, she was still doubtful of his comprehension.Huan Caiyi believed it was more suitable for Yun Xiao to choose the first or second option. In fact, these two options have better development because she and Yun Canghai could teach him.
Yun Che was speechless, as well. He patted his forehead helplessly as this sworn brother was too wilful.
He could clearly see Yun Xiao's train of thought.
Since Yun Xiao learned about his true identity, he doesn't want to become a burden for the Yun Family. Even though Yun Che was willing to donate a few drops of blood, this act was against Yun Xiao's character.
Well, Xiao Ying was a stubborn man. That explained Yun Xiao's mindset on things.
Still, Yun Che didn't look down on Yun Xiao's choice and even somewhat encouraged him. He has cultivated "The Way of Thunderer" that Yu Long made and knew just how strong he had become from it. This "Wind and Cloud Mantra" newly created is not simple.
It might be even more profound than The Way of Thunderer.
Yun Xiao can become a powerhouse if he can master it.
"This... Did Xiao An pick wrong?" Xiao Lingxi glanced at Yu Long.
Yu Long smiled, "Not really. There is no wrong choice in my trials. Only the most suitable one that matches this fellow's heart."
"Since he picked the "Wind and Cloud Mantra" that I made, he must understand the path ahead was difficult and thorny yet still chose it."
"However, from the look of it, he didn't regret it."
...
In the trial ground, Yun Xiao smiled faintly.
He has lived in the Illusory Demon Realm from a baby and cultivated the Purple Cloud Art of the Yun Family to a very high stage. That's why Yun Xiao's profound energy has an abundant lightning attribute.
However, Yun Xiao felt Purple Cloud Art wasn't suitable for him before learning about his 'real' identity. Sure enough, this instinctual behavior related to his origin even more.
So far, Yun Xiao only reached half-step of Tyrant Profound Realm because of this incompatibility.
In the third trial, Yun Xiao witnessed Xiao Ying fighting, even though just for a few seconds. There, Yun Xiao saw Xiao Ying using profound energy with wind attributes.
After all, Yun Xiao was the descendant of Xiao Clan. Xiao Clan is just a side branch of the Xiao Sect.
Xiao Sect mainly cultivated wind attribute Profound Art and have been doing so for years, subliming their potential in this field.
And Yun Xiao is the result of said sublimation.
Unbeknownst to Yun Xiao, his bloodline is 'indirectly' purified from living long in the Illusory Demon Realm, where the profound energy is much stronger than in the Profound Sky Continent.
Right now, Yun Xiao is the pioneer of Xiao Clan. He possessed a strong and pure affinity for wind attributes. He's at the same level as Yun Che's talent in lightning attributes.
That said a lot about his choice in Wind and Cloud Mantra.
Yun Xiao didn't pick it randomly. He felt the "Wind and Cloud Mantra" would allow him to reach a higher realm.
Wind and Cloud Mantra is based on Yu Long's Art of Wind. It's one of the newly Profound Art he developed, which split into easier version for others to cultivate. However, don't look down on this 'easier' version because it was as powerful and profound as Golden Crow's Record of Burning World (Incomplete Version).
However, Wind and Cloud Mantra is not as destructive as Golden Crow's Record of Burning World and The Way of Thunderer.
Yu Long made the Wind and Cloud Mantra to allow someone to obtain power to manipulate wind and cloud freely, reaching the sharpest killing power. If Yun Xiao reached 3rd Stage of this Profound Art, he was guaranteed to kill anyone in the same level as long as they were in his vision range.
[I already changed the time perception in the Trial Ground. Feels free to comprehend "Wind and Cloud Mantra" for a month]
A screen appeared before Yun Xiao, and he knew it was from Yu Long. He couldn't help but bow, "Thank you, Consort Yu."
"..." Yu Long. Okay, stop with the damn title!
Yu Long sighed because he couldn't get rid of this title until he married Huan Caiyi.
He glanced at Tianxia Diqi and sent a Profound Art called Elven's Sacred Body. This Profound Art mainly focuses on refining the physique with life and light attributes, allowing it to increase her current power drastically.
Tianxia Diqi would be 2-3 times stronger than others in the same cultivation realm.
The elf girl blinked her eyes in awe as she received the Elven's Sacred Body and shuddered because the information of this Profound Art was a bit too much for her to handle.
Since Tianxia Diqi decided to cultivate Ancestor's technique, which is an incomplete Profound Art, she knew her achievements were lower than others. However, she doesn't give up and even attempts to improve the Ancestor's technique.
Who would have thought that Yu Long would solve this problem so effortlessly?
Tianxia Diqi was sure that Yu Long had no contact with her elf clan until recently, which means this "Elven's Sacred Body" was made not too long ago.
Then, Tianxia Diqi recalled her father's remark about Yu Long.
'He's a terrifying man with unimaginable power and infinite wisdom. We are fortunate that he was on our side.'
At first, Tianxia Diqi didn't understand this statement. But now, she did.
'Thank god he wasn't our enemy...' Tianxia Diqi sucked a cold breath. She couldn't imagine the nightmare of facing such a monster.
Tianxia Diqi hurriedly calmed herself and bowed, "Thank you for the gift, Consort Yu."
Yu Long waved his hand outside and told Tianxia Diqi to train in the Trial Ground, accompanying Yun Xiao on his new path.
...
...
"Okay, while waiting for them, let's chat." Yu Long smiled at Xiao Lingxi and Yona. "I can see that two of you have made an impeccable improvement when I'm away."
Xiao Lingxi blushed immediately and giggled innocently, "This much was nothing. I 'simply' don't want to disappoint Young Master Yu's trust."
Although Xiao Ling said it humbly, everyone in the room could tell she was happy to be praised by Yu Long.
Yun Che saw Xiao Lingxi's blush and shook his head inwardly because he knew he had no chance with Xiao Lingxi anymore. In the past, Yun Che dreamed of something intimate, but it's not possible anymore.
He actually has given up on that hopeless dream, but seeing Xiao Lingxi like this gave him the last push to accept this change. Of course, he was not jealous of Yu Long.
Yun Che inherently knew Yu Long was many times better than him. He was more relieved that Xiao Lingxi was in good hands.
Thinking about it, he smiled inside and couldn't help but wonder what the future had for him.
"Me too!" Yona pouted at Yu Long, shaking her charming body.
Yu Long chuckled, "Yes, yes. You're not bad, Yona."
Meanwhile, Chu Yueli stared at Yujin and commented, "So, you're Young Master's..."
"Yeah," Yujin replied casually. "Your bloodline's source."
"It's the Phoenix. Young Master reversed it to Ice Phoenix." Chu Yueli smiled faintly.
Yujin was stunned before murmuring, "I see..."
She also cursed her mind, 'Damn. I should know that annoying Phoenix has the same chance. No, this can't go on. She has been on My Lord's side longer than me!'
Unknown to Yu Long, the rivalry between the two Divine Birds has gotten more intense.
What do you think?
