[In 3242, the materials for Burial Valley will be refreshed. Go there; all you need is the "Breath of Wind" produced there to allow your Gale Core to evolve into a Storm Core.]
[The Valley of Burial Winds is located on the outer edge of the Hundred Races Battlefield, and is mostly frequented by cultivators at the late to perfect Innate stage; very few Celestial-level cultivators appear there. The local specialties have very little effect on Celestial-level cultivators.]
[The Valley of Burial Winds is said to be where a Wind King (a Supreme-level Wind Spirit) perished. Although how a Wind King of the Fourth Realm could die in the Battle of the Hundred Races of the Second Realm is a question, it certainly exists.]
[Various strange winds frequently blow through the area—light winds, heavy winds, winds that pierce the skin, winds that sting the face—and occasionally, large bursts of wind blades suddenly erupt from small areas, capable of cutting even a mid-stage Innate Realm cultivator half to death.]
[But for you, at most it will cut off a few hairs and leave white marks on your skin. After you use your Gale Force, you can neutralize some of the damage, and then activate your Momentary Future Body, these wind blades won't be able to hit you at all!]
[Are you certain that you're quite strong even in the early stages of the Celestial Realm? Ninety-nine percent of the late-stage Celestial Realm cultivators who frequent the outer and central areas are just retiring in their camps; they've long lost their will to fight and strive, and might not even venture out for decades.]
The standard lifespan for humans is 1,000 to 1,500 years, depending on race and level of development. Other races may live 300-400 years or even 4,000-5,000 years.
[You have arrived at the central area of the Valley of Burial Winds. Below lies a dark valley where a fierce wind blows, and the multi-faceted, violent wind blades are enough to severely injure even a Perfected Innate Realm cultivator who ventures deep within.]
[In the core area of the Dark Valley, a purple-blue "breath of wind" is slowly taking shape. It will be fully formed in about two months, at which point it will help you condense the Storm Core.]
Above the dark valley stood numerous innate beings of various races, at least at the late stage of the innate realm. You kicked a displeasing insect demon to pieces and squeezed into the front row.
[Instantly killing a late-stage Innate Realm beetle—this strength is definitely among the strongest of the Innate Realm Perfection experts, possibly even possessing a Sacred Body—unapproachable! The powerful figures from various races in the front row tactfully squeezed to the side to make way for him.]
Although you are a competitor and we will eventually have to fight, back then everyone could gang up on you. But now, the Breath of Wind hasn't even taken shape yet, and no one wants to clash with a powerful figure like you.
While waiting, you feel a bit hungry, even though you're not actually hungry; the desire for food is something you can't resist.
"You audacious dog demon, how dare you step forward with your left leg in front of me! You've violated my taboo; you won't live a long life now!"
"Damn chicken demon, showing your chicken feet in front of me! I can tell you're a little blackhead at a glance. How can a true ikun tolerate this? I'll turn you into fragrant chicken wings with rice!"
"And that snake, I told you not to step on it with your left leg first, you're incredibly audacious!"
The black snake hissed in protest: "Human, you've gone too far! I don't even have legs!"
[You applied the formula too quickly and forgot to be flexible, and when you were exposed, you became angry and embarrassed: "Is that what I meant?! I meant your attitude. Your attitude was terrible, and that's the key reason you angered me!"]
While gnawing on snake meat, you explained to the other Perfected Innate Realm cultivators, "I'm a reasonable human, and I don't usually have murderous thoughts. It was that spicy snack that went too far!"
The rest of the group: "Do whatever you want."
Yun Shou: "..."
He didn't do anything else; he just came out to steal the spotlight.
The Breath of Wind is finally taking shape.
However, a whirlwind suddenly rushed in, slowly dissipating to reveal the figure of a young girl hidden within. She was beautiful and aloof, and you felt she looked familiar. From the surrounding chatter, you learned she was Xiang Caixia.
[Four years ago, when the last "Breath of Wind" was born, you stayed in the camp and didn't go out, while she successfully seized it and condensed the Storm Core.]
You're curious about why she's here, but you hear the others around you looking dejected: "Why is this woman here again? We're going to leave empty-handed again!"
[You ask, puzzled: "Wasn't she only at the late stage of the Innate Realm a few years ago? Even if she killed two Perfected Realm cultivators back then, we have over thirty Perfected Innate Realm cultivators, plus someone like me with a Perfected Sacred Body. How could she possibly defeat us?"]
"No way, buddy?" The man looked incredulous. "You really think she fought all by herself?"
[He explains in detail: "This woman is arrogant and haughty. Don't let her pretty appearance fool you; she has an incredibly wicked temper. If it weren't for the two Heavenly Realm protectors, even with her Holy Body, she would have been swarmed and killed by us long ago!"]
"She was indeed powerful, killing two Perfected Realm cultivators later on. However, the twenty-odd Perfected Realm cultivators present were all stopped by those two Celestial Beings on the grounds of 'remaining neutral and not getting involved in the personal grudges of our sect's goddess.'"
"When she absorbed the breath of wind to forge the Storm Core, it was the same. Normally, all the martial artists would compete for it, absorbing and refining it against the clock. But she was different. Once she got her hands on it, she calmly absorbed it in place. The two guardians were saying, 'Don't disturb our sect's goddess's cultivation.'"
A passerby angrily confides in you, and you conclude by asking, "Were those people in the middle or late stages of their illness?"
[Passerby: "Luo Fengzong isn't crazy. Isn't the current Goddess the Supreme Being's own daughter? How could she be willing to use two mid-to-late stage Celestial Realm cultivators?"]
[Guardians generally represent those whose potential has been largely exhausted; they are unlikely to leave the battlefield of the Hundred Races, but they are valued for their loyalty and high cultivation level.]
[Xiang Caixia will return to the Azure Domain via the "Stairway to Heaven" at most when she reaches the peak of the Innate Realm or has just advanced to the Celestial Realm. She will return to her sect to receive more inheritance, and two protectors at the early stage of the Celestial Realm will be sufficient.]
[Relax. You're only at the early stage of the Celestial Realm. Considering you're both human and possess the Holy Body, it shouldn't be a problem for you to take this Breath of Wind with your Celestial Realm-level combat power.]
Make friends, make lots of friends.
Five days later, a soft hum echoed from the dark valley, and the Breath of Wind was fully formed.
The situation has become tense. The biggest conflict here in the past two months was your hunting of demons. Because everyone was afraid of an early outbreak of war, some people, in a fit of anger, went to destroy the Breath of Wind.
Many people are focusing their attention on Xiang Caixia, hoping that this goddess will speak reasonably and that everyone should compete for resources fairly and justly, instead of always using her influence to bully others.
Two figures floated in from outside and hovered behind Xiang Caixia.
[Damn it, we've waited for months for nothing again!] The innate beings of all races cursed inwardly.
You cough lightly, step forward, and prepare to unleash the Nine-Complete Battle Body.
[But before you could even speak, suddenly, Xiang Caixia turned her head!]
"Such high sensitivity?" You think she'd be perfect for shooting games, able to take down an enemy the moment they show a pixel.
But then you see Xiang Caixia tilting her head back high, not looking at you with her eyes, but looking at you with her nostrils.
"What are you? Rare treasures belong to the virtuous. This goddess needs the Breath of Wind to forge the Nine Wind Core. If you disagree, let's fight to the death!"
【you:"……"】
She seemed so beautiful and quiet just a few days ago, but her true nature is actually quite wild.
