Time passed by, second by second.
Finally.
When the sun was about to set, a gentle breeze blew past.
“Great opportunity!” Xuanqing took a deep breath, his gaze focused in the distance.
With a single thought.
In an instant.
His body seemed to be coated in a layer of silvery-white light, and his entire body’s lightness was completed in this moment.
With his eyes closed.
Xuanqing spread his arms, allowing his body to absorb the ever-present breeze in the air.
Accompanied by the breeze brushing against his face, his body swayed with the wind, as if it had become a fluttering flag.
Not just that.
He could also control the direction by controlling the local lightness.
In other words,
As long as the wind is still blowing, he could ride the wind and fly.
“Now that the Light Body has been completed, the next step is to sense the wind, summon the wind with mana, and ultimately control the wind.”
A passionate look appeared in Xuanqing’s eyes.
However,
After carefully reading “Treading the Clouds” and trying it a few times, he was left dumbfounded.
According to the records in the book, sensing the wind means feeling the power of the wind at different levels.
Starting with a small breeze, gradually progressing to gales, until comprehending the mysteries of the wind, eventually being able to summon the wind with a simple use of mana.
It wasn’t an easy task.
Even in a mythical world like Journey to the West, summoning wind and rain is not considered a technique, but rather a divine power.
For example, the 72 Earthly Fiends Divine Skill Transformations and the 36 Heavenly Spirits Divine Skill Transformations both have the ability to summon wind and rain.
However,
Having chosen this path, even if he encounters great difficulties, he will not give up, because what cultivators value most is a clear state of mind.
Subsequently,
He brought out the electric fan from the Taoist temple and used it to aid his practice.
After all, compared to the chaotic wind in nature, the wind blown out by an electric fan undoubtedly provides more stability.
Just as Xuanqing was in closed-door cultivation practicing his divine power,
Online.
A video was being shared and forwarded non-stop.
At the beginning of the video, a girl full of youthful vitality is climbing a mountain, a common sight in this age of information explosion.
The reason for the video’s popularity lies in the middle section and the last few seconds of the video.
In the video,
About a minute after the girl appears on screen,
A shadow can be seen on the mountain top in the slightly shaken frame, disappearing at an incredibly fast speed.
Many netizens initially thought it was some kind of “cheetah-like” animal, as these animals are known for their speed on land.
But at the end of the video,
A young Taoist priest appears on the screen.
This Taoist priest wears a long robe and walks with a gait, as though he’s an ancient person. His demeanor exudes an otherworldly charm that catches one’s attention instantly.action
As the video plays to this point,
Countless “Warning: High-energy ahead, please focus on watching” barrage comments make the viewers unconsciously hold their breath.
The next moment,
The Taoist priest turns around and with a slight push of his right foot, his entire body seems to have broken free from the Earth’s gravity.
Whoosh-
With one step, he covers several meters, as if performing a shrinking – earth – to – inches move.
“Holy shit-1
H
Countless audience members in front of the screen are shocked, almost dropping their phones.
You must understand,
This video can be easily identified as being shot with a phone’s selfie stick. From the picture quality, it’s apparent that there are no special effects involved.
In the video, the protagonist – Xuanqing – has been thoroughly investigated by netizens with vast divine powers.
When it is discovered that the youth wearing the Taoist robe, who appears to be an ancient person, is actually a Taoist priest and even the head of a temple,
It goes viral.
In no time, it spreads all over the Internet.
A myriad of netizens begins speculating on whether martial arts exist in this world, and if the Daoist Priest Xuanqing they see in the video was demonstrating a Lightness Skill like Striding on Clouds.
Even.
Some well-known “science bloggers” have been analyzing the video non-stop, ultimately coming to a single conclusion.
Either it’s an exceptionally impressive special effect, or this Daoist priest Xuanqing really knows martial arts.
That’s not all.
The television station account from Liucheng County, where Yang Ying had previously posted the video, has also been discovered by netizens.
Users have edited the two clips together.
Using the sound of Xuanqing chanting scriptures in the main hall of Qingping Temple as the background music for the video, they paired it with the footage of Xuanqing taking steps several meters apart as he used his lightness skill to climb the mountain.
In an instant.
The heat exploded once again.
Qingping Temple, the Daoist with lightness skills, Daoist priest Xuanqing these terms occupied the top ten trending searches. Anything related to them would automatically gain traffic.
While the video was going viral, many doubted that this was all just a publicity stunt.
However.
More netizens still expressed their desire to go to Qingping Temple in Liucheng County to see for themselves. If they could meet Daoist Priest Xuanqing in person, that would be even better.
Although most people were just talking about it casually.
But considering the vast numbers of internet users, there would surely be a significant number who would actually go to make offerings.
A large crowd of people is either on their way or already heading to Qingping Mountain.
On the other side.
Qingping Temple.
In the courtyard.
Xuanqing sits slumped in a chair, not far away, an electric fan whirring away at full force.
It had been blowing air continuously for days.
However, when faced with the abstract concept of “wind,” he still had no clues.
As he was feeling troubled.
Suddenly.
An alert sounded.
[Beep! Player’s cultivation has reached its limit, Standby cultivation status stops, continue to activate standby after breakthrough!]
“Huh?”
Xuanqing’s face filled with bewilderment.
Well, well.
While his understanding of “controlling wind” had not progressed in the slightest, his game character in Journey to the West World had made a breakthrough in cultivation.
“It seems my comprehension is lacking. It’s a pity that the hang-up cultivation feature can only cultivate mana and cannot comprehend the divine powers of magic techniques.”
“Sigh-”
Xuanqing let out a long sigh.
However.
Though he felt somewhat downhearted, he was also filled with anticipation.
Because after this breakthrough, he would enter a whole new realm known as “Refining Essence into Qi.”
With a thought.
“Enter the game!”
Xuanqing, trapped in his physical body, probably had no idea that a swarm of netizens was about to descend upon Qingping Mountain.
What would happen when they arrived?
Two flowers bloom, each on a different branch.
Let’s not mention Xuanqing entering the Game World, eagerly anticipating his cultivation breakthrough for now.
Liucheng County TV Station building.
In a certain office.
“The number you have dialed has been turned off, please try again later… beep… beep…”
Looking at the phone screen with the note, “Daoist Xuanqing,” and hearing the sound of the switched-off phone, Yang Ying felt like an ant on a hot pan.
She had already made more than a dozen calls, each time the phone was off, clearly not going to get through.
“It’s all those idiots’ fault. They should have just secretly recorded it and enjoyed it themselves. They had no business posting it on their Friends Circle. If… if…”
A terrifying scene emerged in Yang Ying’s mind.
In a dark lab, Daoist priest Xuanqing is tied to a bed, and several bizarre scientists are about to perform surgery on him.
“No!
H
“I need to go inform the Daoist priest right away and tell him to run for his life!”
The imagery in her mind scared Yang Ying to the point of shivering.
Not caring about whether she had any days off left or if she would be considered absent from work, she put her phone in her bag and hurried out of the office..
