Chapter 773: This is Skywing’s cultivation!
Xia Zonghai only returned to Wind Garden after dusk, and by that time, Xia Fei was already waiting in the courtyard. It was finally time for him to begin cultivating the Skywing Clan’s exclusive Law of Speed. Xia Fei felt somewhat excited at the prospect.
It appeared that Xia Zonghai had won quite a few matches of chess today, looking very pleased with himself as he had that ear-splitting grin on his face.
“Oh? You’re all here! I won a whole thirteen rounds against Wolf Jiulin today, so I’m feeling great right now. Wuye, prepare for us a few dishes; let’s all drink and make merry, the three of us!” Xia Zonghai laughed.
“I heard from Wuye that you’re imparting to me the Law of Speed?” Xia Fei probed.
“Yes, that’s right. You’ve already perfected your special ability foundation, so it should be time for you to learn the law power. The patriarch contacted me several days ago about this; by right, you should’ve learned it from Xia Laoshi when you were sent off to the Windrider’s Pavilion, but the patriarch took the poor relationship you have with the old man into consideration, so I was given this task, instead,” Xia Zonghai sat down and drank a cup of tea as he spoke.
Xia Fei was unamused. To call the relationship he had with Xia Laoshi as poor was an understatement; it was practically at a point of frigidity. It looked like he had better find some time to bury the hatchet with the other. After all, Xia Laoshi was the only energy artificer in the clan and was in charge of the Windrider’s Pavillion. A continued antagonism might not be beneficial to his development.
No matter how Xia Fei urged him, Xia Zonghai refused to listen and insisted on drinking a glass or two before beginning his task. Xia Fei could only patiently accompany him in imbibing drinks. Xia Wuye merely smiled and did not say a word. Here in the Skywing Clan, Wuye was not just the caretaker but also the guardian of Wind Garden. His position was transcendental, and even the patriarch had to show respect to the old men, so of course Xia Fei and Xia Zonghai were also very courteous with him.
Three rounds later, the moon was shining brightly outside the window. Xia Zonghai wiped his mouth and called Xia Fei to the backyard, while Xia Wuye followed closely behind.
Upon entering the backyard, Xia Fei could immediately feel that Xia Zonghai was in a different mood from before, becoming a lot more serious. Even Xia Wuye’s eyes were glistening.
Xia Zonghai waved one hand in the air, and a rockery in the backyard suddenly split into two from the middle, revealing a secret passageway.
“Come. This is our clan’s cultivation ground in Wind Garden. We, Skywings, specialize in speed, so the bit of space the Wind Garden provides isn’t enough for us to exert our fullest potential. That’s why our predecessors constructed this spatial cultivation ground in the backyard,” Xia Zonghai solemnly stated.
Xia Fei was a little surprised. No wonder he felt that this passageway was a little strange. It turned out that this was a professional cultivation ground excavated using the Law of Space.
The three entered in a single file, and after five hundred meters, the space before them opened up.
“What an impressive cultivation ground!” Xia Fei exclaimed.
This hidden space, which was over a hundred meters high, looked boundless. Countless lights shone from above, making this place look filled with stars as they illuminated this cultivation ground brightly!
Xia Zonghai introduced this hidden space with delight. “Ten thousand miles in length and width! This is the speed cultivation ground of the Skywing Clan!”
“Ten thousand miles!” Xia Fei gasped in shock. No one would have guessed that the inconspicuous Wind Garden was actually hiding such a magnificent place!
The Skywings were truly an extraordinary clan! It was just that their habits were too abnormal, hidden beneath ordinary appearances!
This was just as the nickname of the Skywings, the Demon-sealing Curse Blade—a fiendish blade that could not easily be unsheathed, usually concealed somewhere unseen. However, the moment it was pulled out, the earth would rumble and the skies would split!
Xia Zonghai laughed heartily as he heroically boasted, “There are a total of twelve cultivation grounds of such a size in Wind Garden! Plus, we have plenty of super locations that outsiders won’t even dream about. Right now, there’s no one around, so this cultivation ground shall be for your personal use from here onward. Later, Wuye will teach you how to activate and close it.”
“Twelve!” Xia Fei and Oro exclaimed at the same time. Was the Skywings truly so profound? To have opened a cultivation ground of such size was already extremely difficult, something only an expert could achieve. However, to have twelve similarly sized cultivation grounds, which was not everything the Wind Garden had to offer, couple with the many other secret locations that others did not know about…
This was a big deal!
A truly big deal!
Commoners would never know what sort of secrets the Skywings actually had! Even the wise and knowledgeable old demon lord was startled to learn this! The Skywings truly lived up to their name as a top-class clan! It was the Demon-sealing Curse Blade, but what they concealed was truly too deep!
Xia Wuye quietly stood guard by the entrance while Xia Zonghai led Xia Fei forward.
“This is the strength of us, Skywings! Forget the Nine Great Clans, there are truly few clans out there that can be as free-handed as us in the Law Realm! Our deep pockets are necessary to support our arrogance, and this is the foundation of our clan!” With a liberal swing of his arm, Xia Zonghai adopted a majestic stance as he said this.
Xia Fei was greatly stimulated, having inadvertently seen a side of the Skywings that few rarely saw. It was also this superhuman essence that made the Skywings such larger-than-life existences!
The Skywings were by no means the largest clan in the Law Realm, but it would forever be one of the strongest clans around!
After a pause, Xia Zonghai waved his arm again, and two mysterious and profound patterns suddenly appeared in the sky.
“Since you’re already one of us, today shall be the day you see what our clan’s capable of!” Xia Zonghai announced grandly. “These two patterns, one is the Law Realm’s normal Law of Speed while the other is unique to us Skywings. Spot the difference between the two; which one do you think is uniquely ours?”
Xia Fei was shocked once again. Just creating a law pattern required extremely high intelligence and experience, yet the Skywings’ version of the Law of Speed was even different from others. That alone was proof of their superiority!
No wonder so many clans and warriors cultivated the Law of Speed, yet only the Skywings alone had made a name for themselves with their Law of Speed! It turned out that the Skywings were not only superior in strength, even everything else about them was not at the same level with the others!
From their genes all the way to the law every member inherited, the Skywings had exclusive techniques! Exclusive rules! Exclusive style!
Any of these major families would all be a cut above the rest, and the Skywings were no exception!
Xia Fei stared at the two patterns with shining eyes for some time, feeling all excited, before he said in a serious tone, “If I’m not mistaken, the one on the left should be the Law of Speed unique to us, Skywings!”
Xia Wuye nodded, even as Xia Zonghai asked with a smile, “Oh? How can you tell?”
Xia Fei replied in a solemn mood, “The two patterns may look alike, but their backbones are actually completely different! The pattern on the left makes a sharp turn at every angle like a blade—a wild and fiendish blade! The killing intent is palpable! Irresistible!”
“Well said!” Xia Zonghai burst into laughter. “That’s right! That is our clan’s Law of Speed! Imperious and sharp! No other clan’s Law of Speed can compare because this law belongs solely to us, Skywings!”
*Whoosh*
The two law patterns in the air abruptly disappeared, as Xia Zonghai came forward to Xia Fei and lightly placed a single hand on the top of his head. That unique law pattern of the Skywings entered Xia Fei’s seventh brain region!
“From here onward, the second-to-none, exclusive Law of Speed of the Skywings shall also be yours!” Xia Zonghai declared.
*Whip*
The pattern instantly appeared in Xia Fei’s consciousness, enduring.
The mysterious pattern looked very vivid, with a stroke at every bend and turn, every intersection appearing sharp like a knife’s edge! The pattern did not look like it was drawn by someone. It was more like someone had carved it out! Just looking at it made it seem as if he was staring into an embattled warzone or a baleful valley that had been devastated by a hurricane! It gave him a very strong sensation of suffocation!
“Our grand ancestor spent a lot of effort and energy into turning this to the unique Law of Speed you see today. It’s powerful and very, very difficult to construct. You need to prepare yourself mentally,” Xia Zonghai solemnly imparted.
Xia Fei nodded firmly as he said in a serious tone, “Don’t worry; I’ve already made my preparation. I felt energy coursing through my entire body when I saw the Law of Speed!”
Xia Zonghai’s boisterous laughter echoed. “Good! You’re a man of the Skywing Clan, alright, difficulty be d*mn*d! The people of our clan enjoy taking on challenges head on, achieving results that others can only dream about!
“Follow me!” Xia Zonghai shouted. He then brought Xia Fei with him to run at high speeds.
“Others quietly cultivate their laws, whereas our clan does so wildly!”
“Wild cultivation?!” Xia Fei was taken aback.
“That’s right! Cultivate while sprinting with reckless abandon! We’ll cultivate while feeling the wind against our faces! Come, let’s speed up some more!”
*Whizz*
Xia Fei and Xia Zonghai steadily increased their speed until they resembled two bolts of lightning as both streaked across the huge cultivation ground.
“Do you know what state it is when your surroundings become tranquil after you increase your speed to a point where you find yourself transcending beyond the silence of the mortal realm?” Xia Zonghai was sprinting as he spoke to Xia Fei.
Xia Fei gave a deep nod. He had not just experienced that state just once; he had always felt that ethereal sense of nothingness whenever he advanced.
“It’s good that you know that state. The Skywings cultivate in that state. Accelerate right now, and as you enter that state of tranquility, begin drawing out the Law of Speed pattern. I said it before: The Law of Speed is very difficult to cultivate. What we of the Skywing Clan cultivate is even more difficult! Definitely don’t force yourself if your body can’t handle this!” Xia Zonghai repeatedly warned.
Xia Fei’s eyes glowed. The excitement he was feeling deep down was indescribable!
The cultivation method the Skywings used was simply far too thrilling!
The old demon lord exhaled in surprise at this time. “Cultivating law power at high speeds? You, Skywings, are really too crazy when it comes to cultivation!
“This is insanity! Only a madman will resort to such a reckless method of cultivation! People who cultivate laws are all afraid of being assailed or even disturbed during the process, yet you Skywings find the entire affair to be lacking, instead, and even actually forcibly increase the difficulty of cultivation!
“Madmen! Even an impulsive madman won’t do something like this!”
Oro was left at a loss for words. He had inadvertently witnessed the secret of the Skywings, and it shocked him greatly! This was a clan that disregarded anything, which remotely sounded like rules. Everything they did was unconventional!
The corners of Xia Fei’s mouth arched into a strange smirk. What Oro claimed to be madness happened to align perfectly with his taste.
Smiling, Xia Fei shut off the connection to his spatial ring and left Oro in his dark void.
*Whoosh*
Speed like flight!
The cultivation of the hardest version of Law of Speed had, thus, begun!
