Starting My Cultivation With Immortality - Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Cloud Sea Fishermen

“Unfortunately, it’s too slow.”

Yun Su dispersed the clouds and landed on the roof. He lay with his hands on the pillow and looked at the bright moon in the sky. After pondering for a moment, he deduced and discovered the problem.

Not only was this ordinary cloud extremely slow but it also showed faint signs of dissipating not long after. It needed to be maintained with magic power.

This must not happen. Who had ever seen a horse on the road with a handful of grass in front of the whip for the horse to eat and run at the same time? The horse would ride on the road and cheer as it went.

He couldn’t do this while riding the clouds.

However, the idea of riding the clouds was completely feasible, especially for a Soul Formation cultivator like Yun Su. He could escape if he was in danger.

To ordinary cultivators, the speed just now was fast enough. As long as they had magic power, this cloud would have no problem flying for at least a thousand kilometers. Even if it dissipated, they could just cast a spell and summon a cloud.

However, Yun Su did not want to make do.

The legendary Chaos Immortals did not know how to realize their dream of immortality but never stopped dreaming. Even so, they still cared about extravagance when they went out.

Living a long life was not cruel. One had to live differently. Being unique was what was beautiful.

The appearance of riding the clouds looked like one could summon a cloud from the sky or gather a ball of fog to fly. The clouds were doing their job.

Just as spiritual energy was not air, this cloud was not the vapor that existed in the clouds. It was more like a kind of essence that was nurtured by Feng Shui. Ordinary cultivators could not discover it.

He focused his gaze on the sky and saw that among the countless clouds the size of mountains, there was an extremely small wisp of cloud Qi. He condensed the mountain-like cloud and flew lightly in the sky. When the cloud Qi dissipated and slipped away, the cloud would fly slower and heavier until it finally turned into rain and snow.

Soul Formation cultivators were as heavy as mountains and as light as feathers. They could communicate with the five elements of the world and with the help of the clouds, they could ride the clouds.

“Looks like I’ll have to find a special wisp of cloud Qi.”

Yun Su looked up at the night sky and saw countless clouds swimming in the sky. Countless Cloud Qi floated around. They were not demons but they had a natural spirituality.

It was like a starry sea with countless fish swimming around inside. It was extremely interesting

At that height, the ordinary clouds could no longer fly up. He could only rely on the Sky Cutting Sword.

With a thought, the Sky Cutting Sword appeared on Yun Su’s back. He did not need to step on it to be supported by it. With a slight use of his Dharmic powers, the divine sword flew into the sky like a divine bird. In the blink of an eye, it flew into the clouds and rose higher and higher.

The speed was so fast that it travelled several miles in an instant. However, it was slightly less comfortable to fly.

He gradually rose up and saw countless clouds gathering into a vast sea of clouds. It was wider, more shocking, and more beautiful than the sea.

Under the illumination of the stars and moon, the sea of clouds was like a paradise. It was beautiful and the beauty of the starry sky was much clearer than when he looked up from the ground.

The sea of clouds was already extremely high. Yun Su gradually decreased his speed and slowly rose. The temperature around him was decreasing rapidly but it could not affect those in the Soul Formation realm.

The higher he flew, the fewer clouds filled with spirituality existed but the spirituality became stronger. If the wisps of cloud Qi in the low-altitude clouds were as thin as hair, they became more obvious the higher they went.

However, it was also difficult for Yun Su to hide. Last time, he saw with her own eyes that the Clear and Turbid Qi separated and repeatedly deduced. Even if the five elements and the Yin and Yang Qi were fleeting, he could see them clearly.

“Eh, it’s quite slippery.”

As he rose on her sword, Yun Su also encountered wisps of clouds flashing past him. He reached out to grab them but they were slippery and difficult to hold. Like a fish, they instantly slipped away. He cast a spell to collect them but they melted in her hands. It was very strange. This cloud was indeed not an ordinary cloud composition. It was much purer. To be more precise, it should be Spirit Cloud’s Qi.

After repeated failures, Yun Su had no choice but to continue flying upwards.

This way, he slowly rose dozens of kilometers higher. When he looked down again, he released his divine sense and opened his Dharma eyes. He could only see the vast sea of clouds. Occasionally, he could see a trace of mountains and rivers through the gaps in the sea of clouds. It was also extremely blurry.

He was a hundred kilometers high, but he could not see any curves like Earth. This world was indeed very different from Earth.

Higher up, there began to be gusts of strong wind but Yun Su did not feel any discomfort. He knew that the Sky Cutting Sword was protecting him.

He stretched out his finger slightly and the sword opened up a crack. In an instant, a strong wind swept over. Even though there was magic power wrapped around his finger, he still felt pain.

It seemed that this was the Astral Layer, which was also a forbidden area for cultivators.

Looking down from such a height, the first thing he saw was an endless sea of clouds. Countless spiritual clouds were swimming around but he could not see the mountains and rivers under the sea of clouds clearly.

Yun Su had already achieved his goal and did not ascend further. He controlled the sword to fly and his speed was at least ten times faster than riding the clouds. He landed directly in the courtyard and felt his Dao heart was clear. He felt at ease.

“I have an idea!”

Yun Su recalled what he had just seen and thought of a way. He entered the warehouse and took the fishing rod and cotton thread he had bought a few days ago. He had yet to use them and brought a pot of fish spring wine. Only then did he fly into the sky on his sword and head straight for the Astral Layer.

Not long after, they arrived at the place where the sea of clouds and the Astral Layer intersected.

Yun Su first summoned a large cloud and cast a spell to condense it into a fishing platform before sitting down comfortably.

Thinking that the Spirit Cloud’s Qi was very slippery and afraid of magic power, he used the cotton thread to tie a knot on the fishing rod and tied the hook.

“Water, come!”

Yun Su reached out and grabbed, triggering the Five Elements’ Water Qi in the world to gather into a thumb-sized ball of rootless water as bait. After thinking for a moment, he summoned another ball of spiritual energy to pour in.

After hanging the bait on the hook, he gently raised his hand and threw out the cotton thread to slowly fall with the bait.

At that moment, the galaxy was dazzling. The sky was like a painting of mountains and rivers, the clouds were gurgling, and the mountains and rivers were faintly discernible. Although he had yet to catch a fish, Yun Su felt extremely satisfied.

For a moment, he felt like he had the sun, moon, and stars in his hands.

“The Heaven’s Gate opens, and the Nine Heavens Sword comes only to draw the mountains and rivers. The sun and moon shine after one another and the clouds are willing to play with the stars.”

The fish had not taken the bait yet. It was rare for Yun Su to be free. He raised his head and took a big gulp of wine. The fish spring wine was mellow and refreshing.

After fishing for an hour, the clouds were attracted by the Rootless Water that was mixed with spiritual energy. However, they only used their mouths to rinse the bait for they could not eat it at all.

As he fished, he simply lay there and propped the cloud above his head higher. As he drank with the moon, he admired the beautiful scenery that had not been discovered before.

Compared to the low-altitude clouds, although there were only a few clouds under the Astral Layer, each of them was complex. They already had enough spirituality and were not intelligent but they were no different from fish when they swam. They were like fish in the clouds.

Time gradually passed and another hour passed. During this time, there were three good opportunities. The cloud fish swallowed the bait but it was extremely cunning and escaped.

“Still not opening your mouth, huh? Then I’ll give you guys something to work with.”

Yun Su watched as the horizon gradually lit up in the distance. He calculated that after the sun came out, these clouds would hide. He raised her rod and summoned a ball of Rootless Water, invoking spiritual energy to pour in. Finally, he raised the Fish Spring Wine and poured some wine on it. Immediately, a fragrance of wine wafted over.

He threw the rod and the bait fell into the sea of clouds.

BOOM!

For a moment, the sea of clouds seemed to have exploded. Countless clouds pounced over and snatched the bait clean in a few moments. The fish were not caught but their taste was tested.

WHOOSH!

It was the same old trick. This time, Yun Su tugged on the fishing rod and pulled the bait away from the mouths of countless cloud fish, lest they be shared again.

At that moment, with a whoosh, the first ray of light lit up the horizon. For a moment, purple gas rose and everything woke up. A stream of light flew out at an extremely fast speed. Even Yun Su did not see its trajectory clearly and felt the fishing rod sink.

He had hit the jackpot!

Fish detected. Raise rod. Spiky fish. Draw and reel.

“Eh!”

The more Yun Su raised her rod and retracted his line, the more he realized that it was extraordinary.

He did not know what was hanging on the hook. The light was so bright that he did not dare to look at it directly. He carefully exerted strength and slowly reeled in the line. However, the “fish” in the light did not escape the hook.

What is this thing?

Yun Su held the end of the fishing line and looked at the fellow who was biting the bait and refusing to let go. Its appearance was changing constantly and it was still blooming with a rich glow. It was the same color as the first wisp of mist on the horizon just now.

It was completely different from ordinary clouds. It was more like a cloud essence.

Seeing that the fish was about to jump, Yun Su panicked and did not dare to grab it with his hand. He used his magic power to grab it and quickly opened the cork of the wine bottle. The essence of the clouds entered the wine bottle with a whoosh. There was the sound of wine being drunk. Multicolored light bloomed and even the wine bottle was dyed red.

“Oh my, what kind of monster did I catch this time?”

Yun Su was stunned for a moment. There was nothing he could do about this inexplicable drunkard. He retracted her rod and left. He had a feeling that he had gained a lot this time.
