Chapter 159: Chapter 158: Small Cloud Rain Seal
If he could cultivate it to Twelfth-Layer Great Perfection, he could directly transform the Little Cloud Rain Technique into a Martial Arts Divine Ability.
Martial Arts Divine Abilities were something only a few experts at the Condensing Vein Realm possessed.
Qin Feng had already encountered several experts at the Martial Arts Pulse Condensation Realm, even killing a few. However, most experts at the Condensing Vein Realm, despite having condensed True Power, didn’t possess any Martial Arts Divine Abilities.
This was a testament to how difficult Martial Arts Divine Abilities were to cultivate.
Seated cross-legged on a cushion, Qin Feng focused his mind completely, deciphering the profundities of the Little Cloud Rain Technique.
In Qin Feng’s view, the cultivation of the Little Cloud Rain Technique placed more emphasis on comprehension, on understanding the momentum of water’s form.
In this regard, Qin Feng was exceptionally gifted.
As a genius whose Water Attribute Talent was considered superior, and with the Northern Water God Xuanwu Bloodline flowing through his veins, Qin Feng possessed a comprehension of Water Attribute Martial Arts that was second to none.
On the cushion, the youth sat with his eyes closed. Wisps of faint blue mist, like water vapor, appeared around him. As his Hand Technique changed, they were drawn along by an unseen force.
The seal Qin Feng was forming was the Cloud Rain Seal from the Little Cloud Rain Technique. Once the Cloud Rain Seal solidified, the first layer of the technique would be considered complete.
Innate Primordial True Qi surged majestically within his body. Qin Feng sat cross-legged on the cushion, his expression solemn and dignified. His ten fingers joined, then began to shift rapidly through a series of dazzling Seal Techniques. With each change, a dense current of Innate True Qi gathered between his Hand Seals.
This was Qin Feng’s first time cultivating the Little Cloud Rain Technique and forming the Cloud Rain Seal, yet the entire process felt familiar and fluid.
The faint blue mist flowed like water, following the changes in his Seal Technique. Wisps of Water Spiritual Qi were even drawn from the Void, surging from all directions to gather between his palms.
Although Qin Feng’s eyes were closed, his Five Senses Spiritual Sense was completely focused on the center of his palms.
In his palms, the Innate True Qi seemed to coalesce into a pale blue orb of light. At its center, a vortex formed, ceaselessly devouring both the Innate True Qi from his body and the Water Spiritual Qi from the Void.
His Five Senses Spiritual Sense remained fixed on his palms, and he didn’t dare to be the slightest bit negligent. Fortunately, his Innate True Qi was inherently pure, free of any impurities. His mastery over his own True Qi was nearly flawless, giving him one hundred percent control.
HISS!
As Qin Feng watched with his Five Senses Spiritual Sense, the vortex in his palm reached a saturation point with the Innate True Qi, Void Essence Qi, and Spiritual Qi it had devoured. It then gradually began to change shape, and he could faintly see a pale blue light seal forming.
"Good, now’s the time! Cloud Rain Seal, form!"
Qin Feng’s eyes snapped open. He drove the roiling Innate True Qi within his body, pouring all of it into the Cloud Rain Seal.
The next moment, the Cloud Rain Seal in his palm suddenly shrank, erupting in a brilliant, pale blue light. The once-illusory seal instantly condensed, turning from ethereal to solid.
A pale blue seal hovered in the Void!
"Success!" Seeing the pale blue seal, Qin Feng’s eyes lit up with joy. ’At this point, the first layer of the Little Cloud Rain Technique is complete.’
’The next step is to merge it with my Innate True Qi, which is extremely simple.’
Qin Feng guided the Cloud Rain Seal with his Innate True Qi. In an instant, it transformed into a streak of light and shot straight into his Dantian.
As his Innate True Qi circulated, it completely refined and absorbed the Cloud Rain Seal in the space of a single breath.
Qin Feng opened his eyes and held out a hand. As he channeled his Innate True Qi, a Cloud Rain Seal materialized in his palm.
As the Cloud Rain Seal appeared, a cool draft filled the secret chamber. Qin Feng could feel wisps of water vapor gathering, drawn by the seal’s power.
The water vapor converged, forming a single droplet that appeared on Qin Feng’s palm.
The droplet swirled and flowed above his palm!
Qin Feng glanced at the droplet. ’This is the sign that I’ve completed the first layer of the Little Cloud Rain Technique—the ability to control a small amount of water vapor.’
Qin Feng glanced at the small censer on the altar. The incense stick within had only burned down by a third.
’In less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn, I’ve already completed the first layer of the Little Cloud Rain Technique.’
’Such speed is simply unheard of.’
’If word of this got out, no one would believe it.’
Even with his current level of composure, Qin Feng couldn’t help but feel astonished.
It felt as though he had divine assistance while cultivating the Little Cloud Rain Technique. The moment he pondered any of its obscure aspects, he understood them with the ease of instinct.
’While my own comprehension is part of it,’ he mused, ’this level of insight is mostly due to the Innate Water Attribute Divine Power I control.’
Qin Feng realized that mastering the Innate Divine Power of Ocean Control gave him an advantage in cultivating the Little Cloud Rain Technique that felt almost like cheating.
The two were complementary, originating from the same source. During his Cultivation, he was often able to learn by analogy, making intuitive leaps in understanding.
Closing his eyes for a moment to calm his mind, Qin Feng once again immersed himself in cultivating the second layer of the Little Cloud Rain Technique.
Ten hours later, a second pale blue Cloud Rain Seal appeared in Qin Feng’s palm. The two seals gradually merged, reforming into a single Cloud Rain Seal. This new seal was far more substantial, like a Divine Seal that could command the clouds and rain of the world.
It took a little longer this time, but his breakthrough to the second layer was smooth and natural.
One day later, Qin Feng mastered the 3rd Layer of the Little Cloud Rain Technique. The Cloud Rain Seal absorbed a third seal, and its might began to show as a small, dark cloud formed in the Void.
Two days later, Qin Feng mastered the 4th Layer of the Little Cloud Rain Technique. With its completion, he could command the small, dark cloud to produce a light shower.
However, the dark cloud was small, containing only enough rain to drench a single person.
Watching the pattering rain fall from the cloud, Qin Feng shook his head. With a sweep of his wide sleeve, all the water vapor condensed into an orb and dissipated into the air. He smiled faintly, closed his eyes, and resumed his Cultivation.
Five days later, Qin Feng mastered the 5th Layer of the Little Cloud Rain Technique. When the Cloud Rain Seal merged with the fifth seal, its radiance gradually shifted from pale blue to a deep blue.
After successfully completing the 5th Layer, the subsequent stages of the Little Cloud Rain Technique became progressively more abstruse, demanding more and more time.
Qin Feng needed more time to comprehend, control, and refine the technique.
Ten days later, Qin Feng barely managed to complete the 6th Layer. The Cloud Rain Seal, having absorbed the sixth seal, was now completely deep blue. Within it, a storm of torrential rain and thunderbolts seemed to rage.
The rain he could now summon contained a new trace of life-giving power.
This was the Innate Dew.
The Innate Dew could nourish all living things and even heal common injuries, making it akin to a typical Healing Elixir!
However, the 6th Layer of the Little Cloud Rain Technique produced very little Innate Dew—only scattered specks, as faint and ephemeral as mist.
Having cultivated the Little Cloud Rain Technique to the 6th Layer, Qin Feng could already sense a bottleneck. Cultivating the 7th Layer would not be as easy as the previous six.
Eighteen days. It wasn’t until the eighteenth day that Qin Feng finally mastered the 7th Layer of the Little Cloud Rain Technique.
On the twenty-ninth day, Qin Feng mastered the 8th Layer. After the Cloud Rain Seal absorbed the eighth seal, it now carried a faint black glint.
Having reached the 8th Layer, Qin Feng found that forming the next Cloud Rain Seal would be exceptionally difficult.
