Chapter 44: Dragon Clouds Nourish the Body

Just like that, the dozen or so dragon clouds nearby all entered one side of Yu Tianyun's body; each cloud, after drifting over his body, would bring out a hint of gray, not knowing what it was. He remembered that when the dragon clouds burst out of the little dragon person's body, they would carry a hint of gold, that being the aura of the Golden Dragon King, but this gray substance looked like something bad at first glance.

But as the gray substance kept leaving his body, Yu Tianyun felt his whole body growing lighter and lighter, and he felt a floating, ethereal sensation.

At first, Yu Tianyun didn't know what those gray things were, but as his bodily sensations changed, he faintly realized.

These gray substances brought out by the dragon clouds were probably the impurities in his own body.

The little dragon person's body possessed pure Golden Dragon King bloodline, so the dragon clouds emerging from his body not only carried no impurities, but were tinged with a hint of the Golden Dragon King's aura, whereas Yu Tianyun merely possessed an ordinary Blue Electric Tyrannosaur martial soul.

Indeed! Comparing people makes one angry; the little dragon person with Golden Dragon King blood is just so unreasonable! 'But do the younger dragon clan members inevitably fall short of the first generation? Is the Dragon God born that strong? I refuse to believe it—weren't the protagonists in my past-life books all weak at first, gradually becoming strong? My Blue Electric Tyrannosaur can surely surpass the Golden Dragon King, surpass the Dragon God!'

Yu Tianyun couldn't help but let out a roar, his resolve to become strong in the future growing firmer.

After emerging from the last dragon cloud, Yu Tianyun felt his whole body bloated, as if he had eaten an entire ox and was about to burst; he hurriedly flew back to the ground, found a secluded spot, and sat cross-legged. Almost as soon as he breathed, he entered a meditative state.

He saw countless points of light shuttling through his body, of various colors, mainly the seven elemental attributes of wind, earth, water, fire, space, light, and darkness.

Although he was lightning-attributed, the dragon clouds here rarely had lightning attribute, after all none of the Nine Great Dragon Kings possessed lightning, showing how scarce lightning-attributed dragons are.

As those points of light shuttled within his body, they gradually merged with his bloodline, digesting the energy, and Yu Tianyun suddenly felt a sense of being full.

These elements not only nourished his flesh but also stimulated his bloodline; in the process of merging, Yu Tianyun clearly discovered that his resistance and affinity for all elements were continually increasing, while these heavenly and earthly elemental forces also nourished his body.

Because his soul power was sealed, these elemental energies could not merge with his soul power, but instead integrated into his flesh, like ginseng is a great tonic for ordinary people.

During this meditation, Yu Tianyun felt as if he were soaking in a pool of elemental water; under the immersion of various elements, his bodily condition continually improved. Unbeknownst to him, he had already entered deep meditation.

Not knowing how long had passed, Yu Tianyun awoke from meditation.

First, he felt refreshed and invigorated, indescribably comfortable. The world before his eyes became more vivid; with a slight focus, he could faintly see the various elemental particles in the air. At the same time, Yu Tianyun discovered that his mental power had increased considerably.

Among those colored dragon clouds, there should be one that belongs to the mental attribute.

'This feeling is fantastic! Second only to when I wield the great villain!'

Yu Tianyun stretched out a big yawn, not realizing how much time had passed; he took out his specially made timer and was astonished to find that this meditation had actually lasted three full days and nights, though he felt the time was very short.

'Am I really able to last this long? It seems I need to speed up; I can't waste too much time, after all, soul power cannot be cultivated here.'

At this point, Yu Tianyun's feeling of fullness had completely disappeared; he again released Dragon Transformation and flew toward the dragon clouds in the sky.

Upon entering the dragon clouds, Yu Tianyun only felt a faint sense of familiarity, and lacked the effect from last time. 'Indeed, dragon clouds that have been absorbed once cannot be absorbed again!' Yu Tianyun judged.

Then he flew farther away; not far off, several dozen dragon clouds appeared in his sight. Those dragon clouds he had not yet absorbed gave him the previous sensation. However, compared to the last time, this feeling was noticeably somewhat weaker, and the dragon clouds no longer brought out gray substances from his body.

This time, Yu Tianyun absorbed nearly a third more dragon clouds than last time, after which his body once again felt bloated.

Just as before, he descended from the air, sat cross-legged, and entered a meditative state.

As for how great the benefit of these dragon clouds immersing his body truly is, Yu Tianyun could not easily estimate.

He only knew that, under the immersion of the dragon clouds, his perception of the elements grew stronger, his mental power grew stronger, and his bodily strength increased due to the fusion of these elements, so the benefits were certainly not few.

Likewise, he quickly entered deep meditation again this time.

Thus, Yu Tianyun woke from meditation, flew up into the sky to enter the dragon clouds and absorb their energy; once full, he descended to the ground to meditate and digest.

After each deep meditation, he could absorb more dragon clouds for his own use, while the dragon clouds in the sky gradually were all absorbed once by him; any dragon cloud that had been absorbed once could not be absorbed again.

When he absorbed the elemental energy from dragon clouds for the thirteenth time, Yu Tianyun could clearly perceive that his body had reached a wondrous state.

After the absorbed dragon clouds were filtered by his body, the elemental energy they carried would be directly absorbed by his body; there was hardly any lingering time that needed meditation to absorb.

After releasing Dragon Transformation, his bluish-purple dragon scales also underwent a slight change; this change was not particularly noticeable, but Yu Tianyun himself could feel it.

Originally, the dragon scales were full of texture, each ridge exuding a strong sharpness.

But as time passed, after Yu Tianyun absorbed these elemental energies,

On those bluish-purple dragon scales, it seemed as if a glaze layer had been added, making the surface smoother and more lustrous, with a faint transparent texture, as if a protective coating had been plated onto the scale surface.

'Now the dragon clouds still help me a bit, but compared to the initial effect, it's far weaker. The tempering of my body is also nowhere near as obvious as the initial effect. Of course, if accumulated a lot, there is still some effect. But since soul power cannot be cultivated here, for such a small gain it's not worth the loss; it seems time to go to that place.'

Yu Tianyun pondered to himself.

At present, he no longer deliberately sought dragon clouds to absorb; Yu Tianyun glanced at the map and flew toward the depths of the small world.
