926: Chapter 922 Strange Visitor 926: Chapter 922 Strange Visitor “I never imagined the power of the wind could be so formidable!”
Ye Tian exclaimed, directly perceiving the energy within his body!
He was acutely aware that the strength cultivated from only a few days of practicing the Wind Flow Strength technique was already nearing the power he had been cultivating for months through the Power of the Clouds technique.
Put simply, cultivating the Wind Flow Strength technique yielded results in a short amount of time, whereas cultivating the Power of the Clouds seemed comparatively slower…
This is likely why, in battles of the heavens, martial artists who practice the Power of the Clouds fall behind those who cultivate the Wind Flow Strength.
After all, for martial artists, techniques with quicker tangible effects are naturally more compelling…
“Swish~ Swish~ Swish~ Swish~ Swish~ Swish~ Swish~~~~~~~~~~~~~”
The cyclone within him continued to spin furiously, and at that moment, the winds around Ye Tian’s body resided no more; all the wind energy had been absorbed into him.
The strength of the wind was so immense that Ye Tian could deeply sense its existence!
However, even with this newfound power, Ye Tian was not satisfied!
His goal in cultivating the Wind Flow Strength technique was to grasp the essence of “Wind and Cloud Combined, Maha Infinity.”
This profound wisdom had not been conveyed to Ye Tian by anyone—it was a closely guarded secret of the heavenly sect, and Ye Tian considered it improper to forcibly seize or claim it…
Nevertheless, with Ye Tian’s capacity for comprehension, he believed that even if he could not directly obtain this insight, he might still be able to discern its mysteries!
Thus, Ye Tian began channeling the strength of the Power of the Clouds!
The Power of the Clouds carried all of the forces within Ye Tian’s body, making its cultivation familiar and effortless for him…
The surrounding air grew dense, accompanied by a thickening veil of vapor—this was the cloud energy Ye Tian had absorbed!
Compared to the freedom of wind energy, cloud energy felt far weightier.
After absorbing the wind energy, Ye Tian’s body seemed to float, able to hover in the air; however, upon absorbing the cloud energy, his body dropped gracefully back to the ground.
The sensation of standing firmly on the earth differed entirely from the feeling of weightless suspension; Ye Tian activated the Silent Qi of the Nether God, quietly attuning himself to the characteristics of cloud energy and how it contrasted with wind energy…
One was heavy, steadfast, yet intangible; the other was agile, fleeting, yet traceable!
The more Ye Tian compared them, the more fascinating he found their differences; wind and cloud energy—each with its distinct marvels, vastly disparate yet inexorably interconnected.
No wonder that when the two powers combined, they could achieve the mythical state of Maha Infinity!
Although the wind and cloud energy within his body had yet to merge, the two forces complemented each other, seeming as though they enhanced one another!
Ye Tian strived to fuse the two energies into one, but he found himself struggling to accomplish this…
This was foreseeable—if achieving the essence of “Wind and Cloud Combined” were so simple, Sima Yun’s power would not have been so meager, nor would he have been defeated by Ye Tian.
Evidently, Ye Tian still had unresolved inadequacies…
Ye Tian began recalling the scene of his prior confrontation with Sima Yun.
Although Sima Yun had learned the essence of “Wind and Cloud Combined, Maha Infinity” from Lang Huan Cave, his execution lacked balance…
The issue lay in the overwhelming dominance of the wind energy, while the cloud energy in Sima Yun’s body seemed mere background accompaniment…
Sima Yun had been cultivating Wind Flow Strength since childhood, and accordingly, his mastery of this technique was incredibly powerful; in contrast, his hastily cultivated Power of the Clouds was pitifully weak…
Thus, when Sima Yun unleashed the skills of Maha Infinity, his strength, though enhanced, fell short of producing any extraordinary results.
“Could balance be the key?”
Through Sima Yun’s failure, Ye Tian gleaned some insights.
If two energies were to merge, it was impossible for one to be exceptionally overpowering while the other remained feeble…
Thus, Ye Tian began gradually adjusting the balance of the two energies within his body!
Having cultivated the Power of the Clouds for much longer, its energy in Ye Tian’s body naturally surpassed the Wind Flow Strength.
Therefore, Ye Tian’s first priority was to regulate the cloud energy within him!
He expelled some of the absorbed cloud energy to match the strength of the wind energy within his body…
This process was challenging and required significant time and effort.
Had Ye Tian not been well-versed in medicine and familiar with his body’s meridians, such a delicate adjustment would have been impossible.
Even for someone like Ye Tian, reducing the intensity of his cloud energy necessitated painstaking gradual effort!
He expelled small amounts of cloud energy through the pores on the surface of his body, laboriously harmonizing it with the wind energy…
It took Ye Tian over an hour to regulate the cloud energy within him to a level nearly equivalent to the wind energy.
The effort consumed considerable energy, leaving Ye Tian drenched in sweat!
Although Ye Tian was unsure if the cloud energy and wind energy in his body had genuinely fused, he faintly sensed they had reached near parity…
“That feeling—it seems to be coming!”
Ye Tian murmured to himself, an air of satisfaction in his tone.
Next, Ye Tian began merging the balanced cloud and wind energies!
As the two forces began to entwine, Ye Tian sensed a massive surge of power rising within him!
“This is it!”
Ye Tian exclaimed excitedly, casually striking out a palm strike!
In this palm attack, Ye Tian exerted only minimal energy, yet his palm force directly hit a giant tree that took several people to encompass.
“Boom!”
A thunderous crash erupted.
With this booming sound, the massive tree had been cleaved in half at the waist, collapsing instantaneously…
“I never expected it to be this powerful!”
Truthfully, Ye Tian’s cloud and wind energies had not fully merged; this was merely an attempt at fusion, resulting in a casual palm attack.
This unintentional strike produced astonishing results!
Ye Tian hadn’t anticipated that a partial fusion of these energies would result in palm force of such magnitude!
If he successfully and thoroughly merged both energies, what would his power become?
Just imagining it made Ye Tian exhilarated!
Clearly, “Wind and Cloud Combined, Maha Infinity” was far from an empty phrase—it contained esoteric truths beyond the scope of words!
Ye Tian sought to further combine the energies within his body, but just then, his phone rang!
It was Ye Xuong!
“Ye Xuong, what’s going on?”
Although Ye Tian was in the rear mountain of the Night King Hall’s headquarters estate, the distance wasn’t too far, and he always kept his phone on hand in case of any urgent matters.
“Boss, we have a guest!”
Ye Xuong said directly, leaving Ye Tian slightly startled.
“Who’s here?”
The Night King Hall’s headquarters estate, being a gathering place for martial artists, rarely received visitors.
“I don’t know.”
Ye Xuong reported honestly, and Ye Tian found this response unacceptable.
“Ye Xuong, how could you let them in without knowing their identity?”
There was a faint tone of reproach in Ye Tian’s voice!
Security at the Night King Hall’s headquarters estate was notoriously strict, and unidentified individuals were not permitted entry.
It seemed Ye Xuong had committed a significant blunder!
Ye Xuong, feeling helpless, explained, “Boss, they showed the Night King Hall’s emblem!”
“What!?”
Ye Tian was astonished.
It was no wonder Ye Xuong had admitted the visitor without knowing their identity.
The Night King Hall’s emblem—a black bat symbol—represented Ye Tian as the King of the Night, as well as the Night King Hall itself.
This emblem was known only to members of the Night King Hall…
Not even the allied Ye family was aware of the emblem’s existence.
Yet a stranger had produced the Night King Hall emblem.
Their identity was undoubtedly suspicious…
Friend or foe, Ye Tian could not yet discern!
“Ye Xuong, entertain the guest properly for now; I’ll be there shortly!”
With that, Ye Tian released all the force of nature he had absorbed, as retaining excess energy in his body posed a physical burden.
With a light tap of his toes, Ye Tian leaped several dozen meters forward, descending from the mountaintop to mid-mountain, before another leap brought him to the mountain base.
At the base of the mountain lay the Night King Hall headquarters estate!
With a guest arriving, Ye Tian needed to hurry over.
Entering through the main gate, martial artists greeted him immediately!
“Boss, welcome back!”
“Boss, how is your cultivation going?”
…
Although the martial artists were eager to converse with Ye Tian, he paid them little attention and proceeded directly to the tea room of the Night King Hall’s headquarters estate.
This was the designated area for receiving guests!
In the tea room, seated beside the tea table, was a figure clad in a black robe, leisurely sipping tea while offering commentary…
“Da Hong Pao tea from thousand-year-old Wuyi Mountain trees is unquestionably a fine brew; however, the millennium of growth that imparts depth to its flavor also strips away the tea’s vitality.
Though it has lived for a thousand years, it has lost interest in life—the ancient tree’s spirit has died, leaving its tea diminished in taste!
By comparison, I prefer Pu’er tea from the southern regions.
While it lacks the maturation of age, its fragrance and simplicity evoke endless savor!”
