Three days later, Ling Xiao and his group, under the guidance of Chrysanthemum Douluo, set off for the Mystic Trace Canyon located at the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
However, contrary to what Ling Xiao had originally expected—that they would have an escort and travel by carriage—they were flown directly there by Chrysanthemum Douluo himself.
This allowed Ling Xiao to experience the sensation of flying high in the air once again, even though he was not the one doing the flying.
High in the tens of thousands of meters of the sky, Ling Xiao and the others stood on a massive, purplish-gold flower, curiously observing the scenery below.
Although at such an altitude they could not see anything clearly, they still found it quite fascinating. Under Chrysanthemum Douluo's control, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum moved at a breathtaking speed.
A bitterly cold and piercing gale whipped past them; if it were not for Chrysanthemum Douluo protecting them with his Soul Power, their shallow cultivation levels would not have been able to withstand it.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan watched their every movement, unable to help but feel amused and slightly entertained. Thinking back to when he was a youth, he too had possessed such curiosity about flying.
When he finally stepped into the Soul King realm and could truly fly himself, he had been incredibly excited. However, as time passed, flying no longer held the same attraction for him, and he had gradually grown accustomed to it.
"Sigh, flying is so great. If only I could fly too. Flying on one's own is ultimately different from being carried by someone else," Hu Liena said with a hint of wistfulness.
Hearing her words, Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled gently and said, "Although, generally speaking, aside from Soul Masters who possess a flying-type martial soul."
"Soul Masters with other martial souls must reach the five-ring Soul King realm to acquire the ability to fly. However, it is not entirely impossible to acquire a certain ability to fly before reaching the Soul King realm."
"Oh?" Hu Liena's eyes lit up. With excitement and delight, she asked, "Grandpa Chrysanthemum, how can we gain the ability to fly before reaching the Soul King realm?"
"The Method of Wing Condensation."
"The Method of Wing Condensation?" Ling Xiao could not help but wonder, Could it be forming wings from Soul Power?
Chrysanthemum Douluo continued:
"For us Soul Masters, if we want to gain the ability to fly, besides the traditional method of raising one's cultivation to the Soul King realm and flying using Soul Power."
"Soul Masters with large, flying-type martial souls can fly directly by relying on the power of their own martial souls. For them, they can fly right after awakening their martial souls. In this regard, they can be said to be exceptionally blessed."
"As for those flying-type martial souls that are not sufficient to directly grant the Soul Master flying abilities, when absorbing a Soul Ring, there is a certain chance of acquiring a flying-type soul skill."
"Through the flying-type soul skills bestowed by the Soul Rings, their chances of obtaining the ability to fly are far higher than those of Soul Masters with other martial souls."
"Later on, many Soul Masters began to imitate the flying soul skills bestowed on flying-type martial souls to create their own self-created soul skills. This is exactly what the Method of Wing Condensation is."
"Elder Chrysanthemum, is this Method of Wing Condensation something that all Soul Masters can learn?" Ling Xiao asked.
Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head, seeming to know what was on Ling Xiao's mind, and said, "Of course not. This so-called Method of Wing Condensation is not about using Soul Power to condense wings in order to fly."
"Our Soul Power can naturally be projected outward from a young age. Soul Masters with elemental-attribute martial souls can, at the one-ring Soul Master realm, or even at the Soul Trainee realm, activate their martial souls."
"In coordination with the martial power, convert it into the corresponding elemental power. This allows them to release elemental power or pure energy to launch out-of-body attacks. These are all advantages, but it also has its shortcomings:"
"Namely, Soul Power is a very basic form of energy, and its intrinsic power is not particularly outstanding. If one only relies on Soul Power to fight without activating the foundational power within the martial soul."
"Then it is impossible to fight a Soul Master of the same cultivation realm. This is also why, over the years, although Soul Power martial arts techniques have developed somewhat, they have never achieved a significant scale or influence."
"In addition, the effect of condensing physical objects using Soul Power is quite poor. Otherwise, if the reason no one creates and uses a method of wing condensation before the Soul King realm is just due to an insufficient amount of Soul Power."
"Why wouldn't Soul Masters with cultivation levels above the Soul King realm do it? The reason is precisely that its effect is poor, and it is far inferior to the Soul King realm's method of directly unleashing Soul Power to fly."
"The so-called wing condensation involves using Soul Power to activate your martial soul, coordinating with the martial soul's origin power to release a tangible elemental force."
"Then, following a specific method, this elemental force is used to condense wings for flight. Different elemental forces yield different effects and difficulties for wing condensation."
"The wind attribute is the best, followed by the fire attribute, while the earth and water attributes cannot execute this Method of Wing Condensation. Among you, only Nana is suited to learn this Method of Wing Condensation."
"Ling Xiao and Xie Yue, you two shouldn't even think about it. Although Yan is also suitable, the problem is that his martial soul, the Flame Lord, possesses both earth and fire attributes, and it has a massive build."
"Even though he cannot mobilize and absorb the free energy of heaven and earth before reaching the Soul King realm."
"On the ground where fire-attribute energy is abundant, or even on ordinary ground, it is much more suitable for him to display his strength, and he has a greater advantage in recovery. He is naturally suited for ground combat."
"Therefore, although he can also learn the Method of Wing Condensation, the gains do not make up for the losses. After all, learning the Method of Wing Condensation for the corresponding elemental power takes quite a bit of time."
"Of course, if it is to increase one's comprehensiveness, or to fight better in the air after reaching the Soul King realm, cultivating a Method of Wing Condensation is still a good choice."
"Haha, great!"
Compared to Ling Xiao and Xie Yue's disappointment, Yan could not help but feel a bit conflicted, but Hu Liena was overjoyed. Although she had not learned it yet, it didn't matter.
Once they concluded this training in the Mystic Trace Canyon and returned to the Spirit Hall Academy, she could go and learn it.
"Elder Chrysanthemum, I haven't really heard much about this Method of Wing Condensation. Listening to your description, this type of method is somewhat similar to a self-created soul skill."
"It should be something possessed by major factions and not widely circulated in the world of Soul Masters," Xie Yue asked after thinking for a moment.
"That is correct. This Method of Wing Condensation is collected by all the major, famous sects, Soul Master academies, and clans. Some were created by themselves, while others were exchanged and collected from other factions."
The only differences are the types, strengths, and the level of refinement. Of course, factions with a short history and no solid foundation naturally do not have it."
"As the most powerful Soul Master organization in the world of Soul Masters, Spirit Hall has a top-tier variety and quantity of elemental wing condensation methods among all factions."
"The Method of Wing Condensation is easiest to execute with wind and fire attribute forces. Soul Masters with a pure elemental attribute martial soul can attempt to cultivate it once they reach the two-ring realm."
"For a Soul Master like Nana, who uses a single-attribute fusion path and has fused with the fire attribute as a second attribute, her current cultivation has reached the three-ring realm."
"The fire attribute power fused within her Charming Fox martial soul has also reached the three-tailed level, which is more than enough to cultivate the Method of Wing Condensation. After returning from this training, she can apply to cultivate it."
