Chapter 792: Wind Domain

When Zhou Yuan's body passed through the light screen, he could clearly feel the spirit in his glabella tremble slightly, and a surge of spirit power, along with the vital energy contained within his flesh and blood, were simultaneously drawn out.

Zhou Yuan felt a momentary dizziness, then quickly recovered.

The scene before his eyes also changed at this moment.He stood on a massive stone platform, a hundred feet above the ground. Behind him, a huge light screen shimmered, from which figures continuously emerged.Clearly, this was the Wind Domain within the Four Spirits Origin Tower.

Looking around, the entire landscape was filled with barren, dark yellow peaks. From a distance, they looked like gigantic fingers standing in the world, exuding a rugged, ancient aura.

As Zhou Yuan gazed at the Wind Domain, he suddenly felt a heart-palpitating fluctuation appear from above. He looked up, and his pupils sharply contracted.High in the sky, an dark cyan storm coiled like a giant dragon, its thickness unknown, and it continuously stretched in all directions, with no end in sight.An indescribably terrifying aura vaguely emanated from it.

"That's the Sky Spirit Gale Wind layer," Ye Bingling's clear, cold voice sounded from behind Zhou Yuan. "So, you must remember not to fly too high in the Wind Domain. Otherwise, if you fall into the wind layer, let alone someone in the Divine Palace stage, even a Heavenly Sun stage expert will surely die!"Zhou Yuan's heart tightened, and he nodded solemnly. From the terrifying fluctuations, he had no doubt about its power.

He looked into the distance and suddenly noticed that from time to time, dark cyan winds would howl down from the high-altitude wind layer, like small tornadoes streaking across the sky.

"That's someone burning Origin Treasure Coins to summon the Sky Spirit Gale Wind," Ye Bingling explained, then added, "Let's split up here. Each of us should find an uninhabited place to burn Origin Treasure Coins for cultivation."Also, don't get too close to each other, because the summoned Sky Spirit Gale Wind doesn't distinguish people; it only recognizes the location. So if you get too close and someone else uses it, it can easily lead to disputes."

With her words, she said no more. Her lithe body moved, soaring into the air with source qi, and swiftly flew towards one direction.Zhou Yuan, Yi Qiushui, and Liu Zhixuan watched her departing figure and did not delay. The three of them simultaneously shot off the massive stone platform.

The three maintained low-altitude flight. As they passed, they could see figures on many barren mountaintops. As they burned their Origin Treasure Coins, Sky Spirit Gale Winds continuously descended from the sky, making the scene appear exceptionally lively.

While flying along the way, Yi Qiushui and Liu Zhixuan each found a secluded, uninhabited area and landed.Zhou Yuan remembered Ye Bingling's earlier reminder, so he found a spot some distance from Yi Qiushui and Liu Zhixuan, then descended.

The place he found was a valley filled with strange rocks.Zhou Yuan sat cross-legged on a large boulder, but he wasn't in a hurry to burn an Origin Treasure Coin. Instead, he closed his eyes and adjusted his state. Only after his internal source qi had completely calmed down did he run his fingertip across his Qiankun bag at his waist.

A crystal-like Origin Treasure Coin appeared between his fingers.Zhou Yuan toyed with it for a moment, then held the coin between two fingers and gradually focused his mind.The Origin Treasure Coin began to glow, but at this moment, Zhou Yuan felt the spirit in his glabella and the vital energy in his body surge out again, then gather at the Origin Treasure Coin along his fingertips.White flames even emerged from the Origin Treasure Coin, enveloping it and rapidly burning.

"So, even burning an Origin Treasure Coin consumes vital energy and spirit power from the body," Zhou Yuan's eyes flickered.The coin burned, turning into wisps of green smoke that ascended into the sky.

Zhou Yuan watched the sky curiously. After the coin had burned for about ten seconds, a green tornado howled down from the green wind layer high above.The green tornado was about a zhang wide and four or five zhang long. From a distance, it looked like a green python flying through the air.The green wind funnel roared down, heading directly for the spot where the coin was burned.Seeing this, Zhou Yuan immediately braced himself.

The green wind funnel formed by the Sky Spirit Gale Wind roared down and enveloped Zhou Yuan. In that instant, the fierce gale mercilessly swept across Zhou Yuan's body.*Chichi!*Blood streaks instantly appeared on his body.Zhou Yuan's face immediately contorted slightly, and he gasped, because at this moment, it felt as if countless knives were flaying his body, causing intense pain.And that wasn't the worst part; the gale directly drilled into his body through the wounds. As the gale raged, even with Zhou Yuan's strong will, he had to clench his teeth and tense his body.The gale brought excruciating pain, but Zhou Yuan gradually endured it. At the same time, he began to feel that as the Sky Spirit Gale Winds swept over his physical body, some miraculous things seemed to remain within him...These things were extremely subtle. If Zhou Yuan's spirit hadn't been constantly perceiving every part of his body, he likely wouldn't have noticed them.

Zhou Yuan's mind stirred, and his spirit scanned his body. He then saw tiny green specks of light flowing within him.These light specks emanated a profound aura that Zhou Yuan was familiar with, because this was the basis of all Origin Runes – Origin Traces...However, these Origin Traces were far more exquisite and ancient than the ones Zhou Yuan had inscribed before."Are these the Origin Traces of the Wind Spirit Rune?" he murmured to himself.

The Sky Spirit Gale Wind tornado wrapped around Zhou Yuan's body lasted for about ten minutes before completely dissipating.Zhou Yuan opened his eyes. He extended his right hand, and a dozen green specks of light appeared on the back of his hand. These were the Origin Traces obtained from the Sky Spirit Gale Wind earlier. But in terms of progress, it was probably less than one-thousandth of the Wind Spirit Rune's complete form...

"Origin Traces are so difficult to obtain..." After experiencing it himself, Zhou Yuan finally understood why Ye Bingling had only completed half of the Wind Spirit Rune in over a year."The Sky Spirit Gale Wind also inflicts considerable damage on the physical body. Ordinary people probably couldn't endure it continuously." Zhou Yuan glanced at the wounds on his body, then smiled. However, this kind of thing posed no trouble for him.

With a thought, the Grand Yggdrasil Mark emitted vibrant life force, and potent vital energy flowed through his body. In just about ten seconds, the lacerations on his body healed at a visible rate.

By now, Zhou Yuan had discovered that in this Wind Domain, vital energy and spirit power were particularly important. Whether it was being drawn upon for entering the Wind Domain, or being used as fuel to burn Origin Treasure Coins, they were crucial.An ordinary Divine Palace stage practitioner, even with enough Origin Treasure Coins, would likely not be able to burn them without reservation if their own conditions weren't up to par...But Zhou Yuan was able to break free from these constraints.The Grand Yggdrasil Mark within him could provide a continuous supply of vitality to produce vital energy. His spirit was at the peak of the Solid stage, on the verge of breaking through to the Transformation stage, meaning his spirit power far surpassed others at the same level.The Four Spirits Origin Tower required three essential things: vital energy, spirit power, and Origin Treasure Coins...Among these three, Zhou Yuan already possessed two major advantages.

So, Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, slapped his Qiankun bag, and five shimmering Origin Treasure Coins appeared in his hand. Vital energy and spirit power surged, igniting the coins.Watching the five coins turn into green smoke and ascend, a twinge of pain welled up in Zhou Yuan's heart.Because he realized that at his current cultivation speed, he would probably deplete the eighty Origin Treasure Coins he received this month in less than five days.Therefore... he had vital energy, he had spirit, but he didn't have Origin Treasure Coins!!

How unfair is fate....Why me?Zhou Yuan gazed melancholically at the large gust of Sky Spirit Gale Wind descending from the sky, his heart questioning fate from the deepest reaches of his soul.
