Chapter 63: Wind is Formless, Cloud is Impermanent

~8 min read 1,425 words

The group waited in the courtyard for a while, and then Wuming returned.

From afar, the group saw that Wuming was holding a book in his hand.

Wuming walked up to the group and threw the book in his hand directly to Duan Fengyun.

Duan Fengyun took the book, full of anticipation, wondering what divine Secret Manual Wuming was going to teach them.

As it turned out, the moment he saw the title, it was a string of symbols he could not understand, and opening the book, it was even more of a mess of symbols he did not understand.

Confused, he did not know what Wuming meant by this, so he asked in bewilderment.

"Senior, may I ask what book this is? I don't recognize a single character inside; I ask that you please enlighten me."

"This book is called the Prajna Heart Sutra. The characters in the book are Sanskrit, and the definition of Infinite Great originates from this book. In Sanskrit, Infinite Great means extremely high and extremely strong, formless and impermanent.

Qin Shuang, you and Chuchu wait here for us for a moment; we will be back shortly.

Duan Fengyun, Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, the three of you come with me."

Having said that, Wuming turned and walked out of the courtyard.

Hearing this, Duan Fengyun and the other two followed Wuming out, while Qin Shuang and Chuchu obediently stayed in the courtyard.

With Qin Shuang and Chuchu staying here, Duan Fengyun and the others were one hundred percent at ease.

They believed that if Zhonghua Lou was not safe, then there would be no safe place in the world.

Wuming led the three of them walking briskly all the way, eventually arriving at a place familiar to Duan Fengyun.

The four of them arrived at the place where Wuming buried his wife, which was the bamboo forest Duan Fengyun had visited before.

Wuming stopped his steps and bowed before his wife's grave.

Seeing the name on the tombstone, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun hurriedly joined Duan Fengyun, and the three of them respectfully bowed three times to the grave of Wuming's wife.

Wuming walked into the forest, sat down cross-legged, and then signaled for the three of them to sit down as well.

The three did not know what medicine Wuming was selling in his gourd, but they still walked into the forest and sat down cross-legged.

Wuming looked at the three of them and said:

"The Sanskrit I showed you just now explains that Infinite Great is a formless and impermanent power in the world, where wind represents the formless and cloud represents the impermanent. Wind is formless and cloud is impermanent; this also represents the fate of the three of you. Now, use your internal energy to raise your own power to the maximum and try it out."

Following Wuming's instructions, the three closed their eyes and used their internal energy to raise their respective power to the maximum.

After Duan Fengyun raised his own power to the maximum, he felt his dantian was filled with power.

This power made him restless, as if it had to be released, otherwise it would explode at any moment.

He opened his eyes and immediately stood up.

He released this power, and then a stream of air formed around his body, surrounding him.

Surrounded by this air current, Duan Fengyun felt that he was full of power.

This power was full of infinite possibilities and could destroy the heavens and the earth.

Meanwhile, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun beside him also opened their eyes one after another and stood up.

Duan Fengyun also felt that there was an air current around the two of them no less powerful than his own, which also possessed the ability to destroy the heavens and the earth.

The three of them maintained the air current for a moment, then felt they could not hold on much longer.

The three hurriedly closed their eyes, stopped the circulation of their True Qi, and withdrew this terrifying air current.

However, Duan Fengyun, who had stopped, suddenly felt something was wrong.

He felt that after the full-power output just now, the energy he had obtained from Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen inside his body had decreased.

Although this energy had not decreased much, it was still sensed by his keen perception.

He stated his situation and asked Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun if they had experienced this.

After Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun closed their eyes to sense it, they shook their heads, indicating that they had not experienced such a situation.

The three confused men asked Wuming for advice again.

Wuming thought for a moment and replied:

"Wind is impermanent, and cloud is formless. It seems that Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun are the wind and cloud fates in the true sense. After the two of them absorbed the Infinite Great of the Immortal God, it activated their power of impermanence and formlessness; now their bodies can produce this energy on their own.

As for you, Duan Fengyun, you should only be a fake wind and cloud fate. You can only absorb the Infinite Great of the Immortal God, but you cannot produce it yourself, so when you use up this energy, it disappears from your body."

The three of them suddenly realized, but Duan Fengyun was not discouraged.

He did not have much interest in this dispensable Infinite Great; his goals had always been the subsequent Dragon Vein, Dragon Pellet, Reversing the Universe, and a series of other divine objects.

Once he obtained the Dragon Pellet and took the Reversing the Universe, what use would Infinite Great have?

If Infinite Great were useful, Bu Jingyun would not have been beaten to death by Di Shitian at Wuhuang Mountain and forced to take the Dragon Pellet. During the Millennium Great Tribulation, why didn't one see the two of them use Infinite Great?

Since Duan Fengyun could not eat the grapes, he had to comfort himself in his heart.

"I originally wanted to stop you from killing Xiongba, but since Heaven's Will has allowed you to learn Infinite Great, I will no longer stop you from taking your revenge.

However, if you want to go to the World Association to find Xiongba, then seize the time to control the power of Infinite Great. Otherwise, if you encounter Xiongba's Three Points Return to Origin and Three Points Divine Finger, you will be on a dead end."

Wuming said to the three of them seriously.

"Understood, thank you, Senior."

The three answered in unison.

Having finished their business, the four returned to the courtyard of Zhonghua Lou.

Seeing the four return, Qin Shuang and Chuchu hurriedly walked up to ask:

"Junior Brother Duan, how did it go?"

Duan Fengyun feigned mystery and said, "Shuang, let's go."

Qin Shuang thought the three had achieved nothing and was full of disappointment.

Seeing this, Duan Fengyun burst into laughter.

"Haha, Shuang, you actually believed that? You are too easy to fool."

The group rolled their eyes at this big clown.

The matter was finished, and as the group did not intend to continue staying at Zhonghua Lou, they bid farewell to Wuming and departed.

Walking to the shop entrance, Duan Fengyun glanced inside to see no one was there, then quietly handed the waiter a few banknotes.

"Brother waiter, remember to have the kitchen prepare a few more dishes next time we come; our group has large appetites."

Seeing Duan Fengyun was so generous, the waiter hurriedly agreed, later wondering why he hadn't built a better relationship with this master during the previous few times. A miscalculation, a miscalculation.

Upon returning to Huo Family Manor, the four of them, including Duan Fengyun, fought each other constantly every day, using combat to find their respective shortcomings.

Having experienced the battles of the previous few years, plus the sparring during this period, Qin Shuang also gradually understood the true essence of the final four forms of the Thunder-Shock Axe.

Having mastered the nine forms of the Thunder-Shock Axe, and with the enhancement of the Thunder-Shock Axe, Qin Shuang leapt to become the person with the greatest lethality among the four.

One strike with the heavy axe would surely take out countless people.

Meanwhile, the three of them—Duan Fengyun, Nie Feng, and Bu Jingyun—had already completely mastered and integrated the power of the Maha Immeasurable.

Now that everything was ready, the day to leave for the World Association to seek revenge on Xiongba was not far off.
