Chapter 155: Hurricane Birds and Wind-Shaped Grass
Mo Hui didn't take things too seriously at first after entering the uninhabited zone of Hurricane Canyon. Although the wind around him was stronger than in the core area, it was still within an acceptable range.
However, as he ventured deeper, Mo Hui's expression gradually became solemn.
Because the surrounding winds grew stronger and more violent, and occasionally, wind blades would form—no weaker than full-strength attacks from a Soul Emperor-level soul master.
Although this posed no threat to Mo Hui, who possessed the Wind-Fixing Bead and Delta Airflow, this extreme environment would force any other soul master—even one stronger than Mo Hui—to retreat.
After all, a soul master's soul power has limits. While Soul Saints or even Soul Douluos could withstand wind blades at Soul Emperor levels, doing so continuously would quickly deplete their soul power. They simply couldn't last in such an environment for long.
But Mo Hui was different. Thanks to Delta Airflow, which could disintegrate wind-element attacks into pure wind energy for his own use, he didn't need to worry about soul power consumption. So, he continued descending without pause.
As he went deeper, the surrounding wind blades and storms became even more violent—now comparable to the attacks of a Soul Saint.
Even so, under the protection of the Wind-Fixing Bead, Mo Hui wasn't injured at all. Just as he was about to reach the bottom of Hurricane Canyon to investigate, the wind suddenly intensified.
Then, countless giant, strange birds appeared in his field of vision.
> "Hurricane Birds? And so many of them?!"
Mo Hui was shocked. These were all Hurricane Birds, a rare soul beast that was nearly extinct in the outside world.
All of the Hurricane Birds glared at Mo Hui as if he were some unforgivable criminal they had to execute.
In truth, a Soul Emperor wouldn't normally provoke this many Hurricane Birds. But these birds were reacting for one reason: they sensed the aura of one of their own soul rings—and it was coming from the person before them.
> "Screech!!!"
The largest Hurricane Bird let out a shrill cry. The rest responded and charged toward Mo Hui.
> Delta Airflow!
Facing the swarm of Hurricane Birds, Mo Hui immediately activated Delta Airflow at full strength, using it to block and slow their attack. Then, supported by Pidgeot, he swiftly maneuvered to dodge.
It wasn't that Mo Hui couldn't defeat them. While the strongest Hurricane Bird among them was around 30,000 years old, that still wasn't much to Mo Hui.
He simply didn't want to kill them—because Hurricane Birds were almost extinct. This group might be the last surviving tribe, and he didn't need their soul rings. Killing them would be a tragic waste.
> "Pidgeot, show these foolish birds a bit of your presence."
Mo Hui gave the command through telepathy.
Pidgeot responded immediately, unleashing an overwhelming aura. The Hurricane Birds were stunned in midair.
Although Mo Hui was only level 68, Pidgeot's aura rivaled that of a 70,000–80,000-year soul beast—far beyond the average 10,000- to 20,000-year-old soul beasts. The Hurricane Birds were instantly suppressed.
> "Screech!!!"
With one mighty cry, Pidgeot frightened the Hurricane Birds into retreating. They turned tail and fled without daring to stay.
> "Forget about those little guys. Time is tight. We need to find the immortal-grade Wind-Shaped Grass quickly."
Pidgeot nodded in response and carried Mo Hui further downward.
Now free of the Hurricane Birds' harassment, Mo Hui finally reached the bottom of Hurricane Canyon.
What surprised him was that the wind weakened after reaching the bottom. Although the wind-element energy here was more concentrated, the wind itself was milder—less intense even than that of Kamikaze Academy's core area.
At the same time, Mo Hui spotted the Wind-Shaped Grass described in the First Test of the Wind God.
These grasses clung to the cliff walls, enduring fierce winds daily. Their forms had become slender over time, and they contained extremely pure wind-element energy.
Mo Hui picked one, took a small bite, and his eyes lit up. He then quickly devoured the whole plant.
> "What a great find... but it's a pity I discovered it too late."
Moments later, he sensed his soul power rising and sighed.
If he'd found this Wind-Shaped Grass earlier in his cultivation, it would've been an incredible boon. But at his current level, the boost it gave was negligible.
Still, Mo Hui was quite pleased. The one he just ate was only an ordinary Wind-Shaped Grass.
But the Wind God's test required an immortal-grade one.
That meant... there must be one somewhere at the bottom of Hurricane Canyon. If he found it, he could not only pass the test but also obtain a true immortal herb, and possibly break through to Soul Saint level!
Mo Hui and Pidgeot immediately began searching the canyon floor for their mission target—the immortal Wind-Shaped Grass.
Along the way, Mo Hui gathered high-quality Wind-Shaped Grasses he encountered. As for the ordinary ones, he left them to continue growing.
After more than ten hours of searching, they had practically scoured the canyon floor.
They had collected dozens of high-quality Wind-Shaped Grasses and even found three top-grade ones...
But there was still no sign of an immortal-grade Wind-Shaped Grass.
> "Could it be... the immortal Wind-Shaped Grass isn't at the bottom of the canyon?"
Mo Hui couldn't help but doubt.
After all, Pidgeot's eyesight was extraordinarily powerful—able to see through stone and soil.
Even if the herb were underground, Pidgeot would have found it.
Which left only one conclusion:
> The immortal Wind-Shaped Grass wasn't at the bottom—it was above, suspended somewhere in the middle layer of the canyon!
Having figured this out, Mo Hui didn't hesitate. He and Pidgeot immediately flew upward—toward the most dangerous layer of Hurricane Canyon, where the wind was fiercest and conditions most extreme.
