Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Cloud Body Thunder Art

Oblivious to what was happening in the real world. The daily life of his predecessor while in the Autumn Cloud Sect, a first rate in the Center Province of Green Jade Capital, was being played in a first person’s point of view. He couldn’t hinder the body movement even though he could sense his limb moving.

Currently his predecessor was on the highest peak of the Autumn Cloud Sect, surrounded by a cloud of thunderbolts, flashing with lightning and resounding boom that tended to deafen one’s ears.

Cloud Body Thunder Art, this was the name of the technique chosen by his predecessor.

A top both but dismissed technique of the Autumn Cloud Sect which mainly specialized in Lightning Cultivation. One maybe deceived by its scholarly name,but he knew more.

Autumn Cloud was its name because of, the lightning surrounding this peak tripled during Autumn, as a result it had been named such while hiding the name thunder.

Boomm! The dark cloud shredded with white lightning arcs as it scatteredly released bolts that would obliterate a normal human in an instant.

Boom! The thunder reverberated again and his predecessor took action. Dashing towards the closest spot where the bolt had striked. He sat on it, letting his ass charr black from the heat.

And his predecessor gritting his teeth threw a whitish pill in his mouth before going through the first step of learning the technique. This time Andrew keenly focused observing every little image on the scroll.

"Breath" his predecessor muttered as he closed his eyes, hindering Andrew’s view in the process too.

At first nothing happened, but upon circulating his Cultivation Technique which of the wind attribute. A tingling feeling filled his nose, slowly and unseen. Thin remnant Qi of the lightning was absorbed into his body. For about ten minutes his predecessor sat in this position. Until finally a loud Boom! reverberated again as a scattered bolt of lightning was sent towards the peak. His predecessor also Zhu Yike looked ready for it. Clenching his fist he activated his movement technique, ready to dodge a lightning bolt or run to the nearest area where it would land.

Boom! The area the bolts landed sent charred splintered rock flying about.

This scene continued for days, running and dodging lightning bolts across the mountain Peak with his third brother jingling along, until finally, now... Zhu Yike raised both arms, holding a thin rod as he gritted his teeth in anticipation of what was to come next...

Booom! The dancing rumble within the clouds cracked, sending bolts with white flashes downward....

Ziiiii! Crack!

Lucky for Zhu Yike, his rod only attracted a single bolt.

Traversing through his arms, arcs of lightning appeared outside his body. Fortunately there was no clothes or the remnant of it would have been completely shredded at this instant.

Ziiiii! Ziiiii! Ziii! Sensing arcs course through his body as his limbs instantly became numb, he instantly let go the rod with every bit of will he had.

Gritting his teeth, in others not to let the arcs disappear. He stirred Qi essence in his diatan, and activated the second step of the Cloud Thunder Body Art.

Instantly the inhaled Lightning Qi that was stored inside his diatan was released. Acting as a core pulling force the arcs rampaging through his body were pulled and sucked in.

One... two... three.

"Ahh" Zhu Yike released his breath, closing his eyes as he laid bare on the charred stone rocks, even most of his hair had been burnt in the process. But this was just the beginning, they were going to repeat that same step severally until about enough lighting was absorbed for him to construct the most basic and simplified form of the Thunder Body.

Though one may wonder why a wind attributed swordsman like him would suddenly practice a thunder technique... there was a hidden secret behind it.

According to his benefactor who was a sect elder, the Cloud Body Thunder Art was a technique created by the first sect master in order to transcend Origin Tribulation needed to attain the next Realm. And as for the use, it was to store in thick essence of lightning, constructing a membrane when it would be needed. Then if enough, it would act as a discharger. Instead of absorbing the lightning, the lightning would simply pass out through and strike where one willed.

As simple as it was, it was an arduous and life risking task to complete it.

No risk, no reward. With this, Zhu Yike was sure to transcend the highest of the tribulation and form a Primal Origin Soul.

’Fuck!’ Andrew who watched all these from a first person’s pov cursed in excitement.

Just the thought of how Op and cool he would look releasing lightning bolts like laser shots.

The cultivation of this technique went on for months. One month... two months... three months... and until the ending of the fifth month. By now his predecessor, Zhu Yike had been able to learn more about the Cloud Thunder Body Art, even going to the extreme, he created his own set of attack and defense technique from it, specially thunder movement technique. While the technique was mainly created for one to sail through tribulation smoothly. As Zhu Yike continuously practiced and exercised this technique he created an Ultimate Technique, one that would release the whole of the stored Lightning Qi in his body upon his enemies and also help them summon a tribulation in the process, whilst he would be left heavily injured.

Andrew who watched all these was also granted wisdom... Too bad although he wanted to see the scene of the transcending, his concentration was now failing him. His head felt heavy. Overdoing it again would lead to another days of comma if not death.

With all these put together, fragmented memories began to piece together in his head as his vision got hazy.

But then... there was a sudden pulling force from his soul body, the space didn’t warp around him. Instead, more and more memories began to form in his mind.

What was left of this soul body completed, turning into a translucent radiance.

A heavy pressure burst out from his body, the array in his room didn’t shine and instead let it bypass, covering the whole of the palace and sky.

’Hehehe, Spiritual Sense?’ Instantly a mental image without color appeared in his mind, people, chandeliers, ants, the secretly peeping maids who peeked at the youth with orange eyes...

"Ehn?" A befuddled look appeared on his face. Confused at first, his eyes darted to the purple eyed man man.

His mother, Bernadette, Aria... everyone was present in this hall as if frozen by something.

In this mental world, the only thing that had color was the eyes of some people.

But then... The Kraken insignia which he recognized from Reginald as the Empire’s Symbol also glowed with a thin blue light.

’The Empire? Are they here already?’ But then, just as he was enjoying this sense of supremacy from gazing from above.

There was a strong suction force from his body.

’Hehehe’ As expected.

The mutation began...

The current system in which he cultivated his strength didn’t allow his spiritual sense to exist.

Merging with his body, he then went through another scenario. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

...

Meanwhile back in Hall, with just Bernadette and Lilian present and their daughters.

Accompanied by the two exhaled guests. The room was thrown into a tide of silence.

"Ava Faust?" the purple eyed man questioned as he furrowed his brows as if he didn’t know who she was.

Whilst the orange eyed youth, Finn now stared at her with scrutiny, before a smile bloomed on his face.

Stretching his hand forward for a handshake he said staring straight into her emotionless eyes as he said "Ava sis, your look is as resplendent as your beauty. Even at the academy your fame as the youngest scion to have participated in the monster purge has spread like wide fire. Even the upper echelons of the House are now expecting your arrival." which each sentence his expression varied. Praise, awe, venerate, idolize.

Such heart flattering words, without doubt he was quite the expert when it came to smooth taking.

Just that he had chosen the wrong prey.

"Thank you" her eyes emotionless as she replied.

"Ehn?" The Envoy suddenly looked surprised at this.

Finn’s expression turned speechless as he stared in daze for a moment not knowing what to say

Obviously the first step of his plan of getting close to her backfired.

But easing the awkward... The Envoy furrowed his brows as he turned to Bernadette, letting his eyes noticingly stare at her caged melons for a moment before the words came out of his mouth.

"This is the first... what of the second.?"

"Oh him? He’s not currently in the palace now. Why not take a rest in our reserved guest room, you’ll be properly...

"Bang!" An invisible and barely audible quake shook the surrounding, followed by a power Aura.

That actually made them pressured, not them, everyone present were affected by it, while the weak maids were already lying flat.

"Thissss."
