Elven cultivators

Not long after the Jia Shen Divine General was completed, the clan ushered in another joyous event.

The Second Elder has made a breakthrough.

The moment the aura emanated from the Enlightenment Platform, Anton was comprehending the Dao of the Sword.

A smile appeared on his face, and in a flash, he appeared on the stone platform in the center of the Enlightenment Platform.

Almost at the same moment he landed, several figures swept in from different directions.

The First Elder, the Third Elder, Cedric... were all high-ranking members of the clan who were alarmed by that aura.

Seeing the aura emanating from behind the stone gate, the elves present all showed joy.

Not long after, the stone gate opened, and the Second Elder stepped out.

Anton stared intently and noticed that the Second Elder's aura had indeed undergone a significant change.

Unlike his former cold and sharp demeanor, his current aura possessed an indescribable ethereal quality.

It's as if an invisible wind has washed you from the inside out, making every inch of your bones and every breath feel light and clear.

But beneath this lightness, there surges a powerful and vigorous flow of energy.

Those are vital signs unique to cultivators at the third level of the Strength Realm.

His physical body is as hard as metal, and even divine weapons cannot harm him.

The five internal organs are forged into one, forming a unified whole.

A ball of essence condensed in his lower abdomen; it was the condensation of the vital energy and blood essence of a cultivator, the very source of life.

As long as this essence remains, the physical body will not perish.

Even if limbs are severed, organs are broken, as long as the essence remains, the body can be rebuilt with qi and blood and restored to its original state.

It is equivalent to having a weakened version of the Void One Life Qi.

This is the truly terrifying aspect of the three-stage power transformation.

It is not simply an increase in power, but a leap in the form of life.

It is the transformation from an ordinary body to an immortal body.

"Axel, congratulations!"

"Now our clan has gained another legendary rank."

"We have to celebrate properly tonight."

The elves, who had been eagerly anticipating the occasion, rushed forward to offer their congratulations.

The Second Elder responded with a smile.

His usually expressionless face was now brimming with barely suppressed arrogance.

From the pinnacle of gold to legend, it's not just about an improvement in strength, but also a sublimation of one's life level.

This is a crucial step in the transformation for any intelligent being.

However, many who reach the pinnacle of their careers are unable to take this crucial step throughout their lives, ultimately dying of old age.

Given his talent and the resources the Silvermoon Clan could provide, his chances of advancing to legendary status were slim.

More likely, they will spend their lives at the peak of their careers, watching the years slip through their fingers, and eventually grow old with regrets.

It wasn't until Anton appeared that everything changed.

The Eight Desolate Prison Suppression Scripture, the Method of Approaching Godhood, the Enlightenment Stele... and countless pills, spiritual materials, and blood soul crystals.

It was precisely because of the cultivation resources brought by Anton that he was able to break through the Golden Peak and Legendary levels in just over a hundred years.

After dealing with the elves' congratulations, the Second Elder walked up to Anton and bowed.

"Chieftain."

"Congratulations," Anton said with a smile.

"It's all thanks to the clan leader." The second elder's face was filled with heartfelt gratitude.

"It's because you've worked hard enough."

Anton smiled slightly, flipped his wrist, and three ancient books appeared out of thin air in front of him, floating in mid-air and rising and falling slowly.

The attention of everyone in the hall was immediately drawn to it, and they quickly saw the words on the cover of the book.

"Heavenly Wind Wandering Feathers", "Song of the Long Wind", "Free and Easy Wandering"

"After breaking through to the third level of strength, you can now cultivate supernatural abilities. My suggestion is that you should cultivate a supernatural ability that is inherited from the Wind Feather Shadow Escape lineage."

"These three supernatural abilities were carefully selected by me. They share the same origin as the Wind Feather Shadow Escape. You can take a look and choose the one that suits you best."

With a gentle wave of his hand, Anton sent the three books floating to the Second Elder's side.

The latter straightened his expression, took the book, and began to carefully peruse it.

At the same time, Anton spoke softly and carefully explained the characteristics of the three supernatural powers.

First is the first supernatural power, "Heavenly Wind Wandering Feathers".

It emphasizes "the body transforms into the wind, the form disperses while the spirit gathers".

When one cultivates to a high level, one can temporarily transform their physical body into an invisible stream of energy, making them immune to all physical attacks.

When scattered, they vanish without a trace; when gathered, they take shape in an instant.

When moving in a wind-transformed state, it can simultaneously sense all airflow disturbances along the way, making it impossible for enemies within a radius of several miles to hide.

This is a supernatural ability that maximizes both survivability and reconnaissance capabilities.

The second supernatural power, "Song of the Long Wind," also includes movement techniques, but its power is completely different.

Once this supernatural power is unleashed, its momentum is like a long wind blowing, neither fast nor slow, yet continuous and unending.

With each step, the speed increases by one point.

With each breath, the movement technique increases by one level.

At first, it was like a spring breeze caressing the willows; in an instant, it was like a hurricane passing by.

The movement was accompanied by the sound of wind, layer upon layer.

With each gust of wind, a change in movement occurs.

Sometimes it drifts like cotton, sometimes it's dense like a net, sometimes it's ethereal like smoke.

When the Wind Song is stacked to nine layers and its power reaches its peak, with one step, one can transform into a rainbow, carrying the momentum of a ten-thousand-mile-long wind straight into the enemy formation.

The sword energy merged with the wind, transforming into a streak of azure light that stretched across the heavens and earth, tearing apart the clouds and leaving furrows on the ground wherever it passed.

Its power is immense.

As for the last supernatural power, "Free and Easy Wandering," it is even more mysterious.

It abandons all movement techniques and moves, and goes straight to the origin of movement techniques.

Where the mind goes, the body follows.

No need to prepare or build up strength; the body moves when the thought arises and stops when the thought ceases.

Above and below the heavens, I will follow my will.

The enemy only sees you standing with your hands behind your back, without seeing you make any move, yet a hundred of your attacks have already missed.

It's not about speed, but about intention preceding body, body following intention, and body arriving where intention arrives.

Simply put, it's about pushing speed to its limit, merging the body with heaven and earth, and letting the mind travel with the wind.

As Anton finished speaking, the hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on the Second Elder.

The latter had already roughly read through the three classics, and after a moment's thought, chose "The Song of the Long Wind" without hesitation.

"Chieftain, I will cultivate this supernatural power."

Anton nodded slightly, not surprised.

Because they are of the same lineage as Feng Ling's Shadow Step, all three supernatural abilities focus on improving movement techniques, but to varying degrees.

Tianfeng Youyu is more inclined towards survival and reconnaissance, and is suitable for cultivators whose core tactics are intelligence gathering, battlefield maneuvering, and key surprise attacks.

The Free and Easy Wanderer purely pursues speed, pushing movement techniques to their limits.

Only Changfengge emphasizes both agility and offensive power.

Although it is not as ridiculously fast as the Free and Easy Wanderer in terms of pure speed, it is superior in its comprehensiveness.

It is well-rounded in both offense and defense, and its advances and retreats are always well-planned.

For a warrior like the Second Elder who charges into battle, Changfengge is undoubtedly the most suitable choice.

"The Song of the Long Wind is a power-based divine ability, based on qi and blood, and guided by the intent of wind," Anton instructed. "With your current cultivation level, it will probably take quite a while to fully master this divine ability, but don't rush, take your time."

The Second Elder nodded, accepted the book with both hands, and looked solemn.

The atmosphere in the hall relaxed.

The Third Elder chuckled and said, "Axel, you must cultivate diligently. Once you master this divine power, our clan will have another powerful force."

The elder smiled without saying a word, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes as he looked at his old friend.

Cedric stood to the side, his gaze lingering on the Second Elder for a moment before turning to the book Anton had handed over, a hint of eagerness flashing in his eyes.

He was only one step away from reaching the third level of power.

Over the years, his magical power has reached its limit, and his understanding of the laws of Zhenyue has been improving day by day with the help of the Enlightenment Stele.

Perhaps soon he will be able to reach that threshold.

Irene also longed for it.

Over the years, she has been staying in the Dark Regions to oversee exploration operations. Thanks to the high energy concentration environment of Nine Nether City and the ample supply of Blood Soul Crystals, her strength has improved rapidly.

Two years after Anton and the others went to the Dark Annihilation Fortress, she had already broken through to the peak of the Gold Realm and mastered the Wind Feather Shadow Escape Technique.

Now the magic power is almost at its limit.

In one or two years at most, she will be able to begin to comprehend the laws using the Enlightenment Stele.

There is a good chance that he will break through to the legendary rank before he turns three hundred.

In the past, this was something she would never have dared to even think about.

"Clan leader, over at Annihilation Fortress..." The second elder put away the ancient texts and hesitated before speaking.

Anton pondered for a moment and said, "You've just broken through, so you need to stabilize your realm and cultivate your supernatural abilities. Don't go to the Dark Annihilation Fortress yet. You can join the team when you've cultivated the Long Wind Song."

He paused, then turned his gaze to Cedric. "Cedric too."

"As for the others..."

Anton's gaze then swept over Roman and the Third Elder.

Roman immediately shook his head: "I still want to join the team. I think fighting with dragon souls and dragons in the warp is more beneficial to my strength improvement than meditating in front of the Enlightenment Monument."

Anton nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Roman's words.

Roman's personality is indeed more suited to the path of enlightenment through practical experience.

The Third Elder hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then I'll stay."

He is a spellcaster, not a warrior; using the Enlightenment Stele to comprehend the laws is more suitable for him.

Moreover, his years of battles in the warp have given him a lot of insights, and it's time for him to calm down and digest them properly.

"Then it's decided."

Anton immediately made the decision.

As his strength has improved, whether there are a few more or fewer Gold Peak members in the team has no impact.

It would be better to let the Third Elder and the others stay and focus on their cultivation.

The team only needs him, the Grand Elder, and Roman.

Once the Second Elder cultivates to become Chang Fengge and joins the team, there will be three legendary combatants.

This lineup is already stronger than many elite squads in space.

"Get ready, we'll return to Annihilation Keep tomorrow."

"Anton said to the Grand Elder and Roman."

They've been away from the Dark Desolation Fortress for quite some time now; it's time to head back. They can't neglect hunting dragon souls and searching for spatial nodes.

He also hoped to earn more contribution points to exchange for a few Myriad Wood Source Hearts, so that he could expand the Silver Moon Forest to the point of connecting with the Primordial City as soon as possible.

By the way, bring along the Jia Shen Divine General as well.

Although it was only charged for a few months, it was enough to be used in a critical moment.
