“Power of Thunder, Power of Fire, Power of Light, Power of Darkness, Power of Destruction, Power of Life, Power of Wind, Power of Metal… Power of Earth. How am I going to fuse these nine different low-grade dao patterns? Can nine different attributed dao patterns be fused?”
Nine different low-grade dao patterns appeared in Jiang Yi’s mind, which were the nine different dao patterns that he comprehended at the thunder mountains. That was incorrect… he actually comprehended eight types of dao pattern at the thunder mountains as he had already comprehended the Power of Fire dao pattern back at the Blood Night Fearsome Sea.
These nine different attributed dao patterns were the most fundamental dao pattern of the various attributes, and all of them were the lowest grade attribute dao patterns. Jiang Yi had split up the dao presence that he had sensed at the thunder mountains and comprehended them separately before thinking of a method to fuse them. Right now, he was preparing to make a fusion.
However…
The separation part was easy, but the fusing part was extremely difficult. Just like a giant rope, it was easy for anyone to split it up into nine smaller ropes; but it was considerably difficult to twine them back together perfectly. This wasn’t an ordinary twining process… but a complete fusion.
“Let me first comprehend that trace of dao presence! Then I will take a closer look at how they are all fused together.”
Jiang Yi entered the Union of Heaven and Man state. When he was in this state, he would be blended into heaven and earth, allowing him to be more intimate with the various elemental attributes—allowing him to comprehend and fuse dao patterns easily.
His mind appeared with that dao presence from the thunder mountains. He was carefully sensing, inferring, and verifying it.
He was a little disappointed as… he was no longer in the nearby vicinity of the thunder mountains, making it his recollection of the dao presence very hazy. He couldn’t even recall many crucial areas.
Two hours, one day, five days…
The dao presence in Jiang Yi’s mind was getting even more indistinct, and he had no choice but to give it up. He then followed the hazy thought in his heart and slowly fused the Power of Thunder and the Power of Fire.
“Thunder can produce fire. There is no problem in fusing the Power of Thunder and the Power of Fire, but how am I going to fuse it with the other dao patterns?
“Light and dark, destruction and life are both opposing attributes. How am I going to fuse them?
“The Power of Wind, Earth, and Metal are three irrelevant powers. How am I going to fuse them?
“It is already a huge headache to fuse two different dao patterns. Do I actually have to fuse nine?”
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yi felt his head aching and simply decided to not bother about it. He decided to first fuse the Power of Thunder and Fire before anything else.
He had consumed plenty of energy elixirs, and it wouldn’t be a problem even if he didn’t eat or drink for a few years. He was fully concentrated on comprehending the dao patterns as there was nothing else more important than the dao patterns. He no longer had any more chances to visit Sky Thunder Island so it was impossible for him to collect more Thunder Fire. Once he consumed all the Thunder Fire, he would not be able to release the Thunder Fire Divine Shield, which would cause a drastic decline in his combat strength.
Time flowed like water as three months had passed in the blink of an eye!
The incident at the White Dragon Archipelago side had already calmed down. Many mountain bandits had great goals and aspirations to find Jiang Yi and his group, but after searching for three months without any results, they found it boring. Sin Island was too massive, and the population of the place was around a few hundred billion. There were at least tens of thousands of cities, and there were mountain bandits hidden outside the cities. Wanting to find Jiang Yi was no different from searching for a needle in a haystack.
The rest of the great clans’ young masters and ladies didn’t bother either. After all, they were not the one that got humiliated and were merely responding just to give some face to Lu Lin. It would be best to find and kill him, but they didn’t put in any effort to look for Jiang Yi and his group.
“Lu Lin, you are the one to be blamed!”
In the Thearch Palace which was situated in a courtyard of the Purple Jade City, Jiang Yi helplessly opened his eyes and cursed. If it wasn’t because of Lu Lin’s incident, he would definitely be able to fuse this high-grade dao pattern if he could continue to stay a few more months at the thunder mountains. He would also obtain enough celestial stones to reside in Gods Bestow City.
It had been three months. He had successfully fused the Power of Thunder and the Power of Fire. However, it was a pity that he couldn’t fuse the rest of the dao patterns. He originally thought that when he fused the Power of Thunder and Fire, he would be able to release Thunder Fire, but he realized that he was too naive. The combination of the Power of Thunder and Fire didn’t equate to producing Thunder Fire.
“Continue the fusion!”
It had only been three months. Jiang Yi extended out his divine senses to inquire the Golden Flood Dragon. When the latter said that everything was peaceful, Jiang Yi didn’t bother anymore and continued to fuse the dao patterns.
That trace of dao presence in his mind had already completely vanished, and Jiang Yi couldn’t recall it no matter what. He had no choice but to rely on himself to find another way to fuse the rest of the dao patterns.
In another two months, Jiang Yi opened his eyes and stood up. His eyes were filled with disappointment as this dao pattern was just too difficult to fuse. Without guidance from the dao presence, he had no direction and was clueless on how to fuse them.
Since he couldn’t fuse them, Jiang Yi simply stopped as such things couldn’t be forced. Right now, he had to rely on fate, opportunity, or hope for a split moment where he would suddenly be able to comprehend the fusion.
On the outside, Feng Luan and Qing Yu had nothing to do as one of them was doing embroidery while the other was painting to relieve their boredom. When Jiang Yi exited from his room, the two of them didn’t even notice him.
“Embroidery?”
Jiang Yi didn’t have any interest in it, but Feng Luan’s painting had piqued his interest. Feng Luan was fully concentrated on painting a landscape artwork with her brush. She had extraordinary painting skills, and her artwork was remarkably true to life and was very realistic.
“Thunder mountains?”
Jiang Yi walked silently, and when he saw the scenery in Feng Luan’s painting, his heart suddenly throbbed as images flashed through his mind, causing him to feel a trace of palpitations.
“That’s right… I can also draw a painting and draw the thunder mountains. I might be able to imitate the dao presence and might just be able to find an opportunity to look for clues of the fusion.”
Jiang Yi’s soul spirit shook as he grabbed the brush in Feng Luan’s hand and took out another piece of white paper and started to sketch. As he was painting, he even abnormally closed his eyes and had entered the state of the Union of Heaven and Man.
“En?”
Feng Luan got roused up while Qing Yu, who was engrossed in her embroidery, had also stood up with surprise. Just as she was about to call out, she was stopped by Feng Luan’s transmitted message: “Shh. Young Master seems to have some realization. Let’s not disrupt him.”
“Oh, okay!”
Qing Yu nodded her head like a chick pecking on the ground as she looked over curiously at Jiang Yi’s painting. A single glance had made her disappointed. Jiang Yi wasn’t even painting, he was just scribbling. The painting was so ugly that Qing Yu didn’t even want to continue watching.
Feng Luan was an expert in painting, and she loved painting since she was young. In the past, when she felt bored in the Thearch Palace, she would often be painting. She would mostly paint landscape artwork, with the addition of character portraits as well. She had drawn plenty of Jiang Yi’s portraits, but Jiang Yi didn’t know about it.
Qing Yu was bewildered as when Jiang Yi was scribbling; Feng Luan didn’t laugh secretly and looked rather interested. Afterward, she got even more engrossed and had completely immersed herself in the painting. She had misty eyes, and it seemed as though she was in a selfless state.
“What is so special about this artwork?”
Qing Yu opened her eyes wide and looked carefully. She could vaguely see that Jiang Yi was painting the thunder mountains, but she couldn’t see anything else. Furthermore, weren’t those ten thunder mountains too ugly? There were just like ten scrawling stone pillars.
Jiang Yi was painting very seriously. He might be closing his eyes, but when he was in the Union of Heaven and Man state, it was no different whether he was closing or opening his eyes. He had forgotten about everything and was fully engrossed as he was trying to paint the scenery of the thunder mountains in his eyes. It was regretful that his painting skills were lacking. A single glance at this painting was no different from some scribbling.
When the brush stopped, the ink had also dried up!
When Jiang Yi put down the brush and opened his eyes to take a few glances, he shook his head and sighed. “This isn’t going to work. However, this painting is rather beneficial for me to recall the dao presence. I have to practice my painting skills in the future. This is a little too ugly…”
“Hu-hu-hu!”
Feng Luan had also awakened by the side, but she had an erratic breathing pace, which caused her ample breasts to undulate. Her pair of phoenix eyes was frightening bright, and after swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, she looked at this scribbling artwork and muttered involuntarily, “I am finally fortunate enough to witness a legendary Heaven Painting. Young Master… you are really a genius.”
