Chapter 884: Comprehending Influence

“This astral wind really doesn’t have any effect on the barrier!”
Deep into the night, Jiang Yi had stopped cultivating. He entered the Union of Heaven and Man state to sense the barrier of the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p. He could easily sense that countless astral winds were sliding across the barrier, but this barrier was too powerful. Furthermore, the members of the Tang Clan were constantly pouring energy into the barrier, allowing it to be perfectly unscathed.
Of course, the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p didn’t dare to fly too high in the night. The higher they flew, the stronger the astral winds. If they were to fly 30 kilometers in the high alt.i.tude, Jiang Yi reckoned that this barrier would instantly rupture.
“Continue cultivating!”
Jiang Yi scouted the cabin that he was inside and noticed that Tantai s.h.i.+ was eating dinner with the two kids while the cabin’s restriction had been active from the start. Thus, he simply cultivated in peace.
The Union of Heaven and Man was very mystical as the restrictions wouldn’t be able to obstruct him from scouting. Furthermore, when he was observing Song Zhong earlier, the latter didn’t even have any reaction. However, Jiang Yi didn’t dare to snoop around recklessly as this Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p definitely had an expert overseeing it. It would be troublesome if he were to accidentally create a misunderstanding.
After flying for five days, Jiang Yi was completely at ease. The Tang Clan’s Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p was very safe as expected. No bandit legions dared to attack them after they traveled over ten billion miles. In fact, they would all avoid the Tang Clan’s Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p from far away.
Tantai s.h.i.+ and others were very tactful and didn’t step out of the cabin even once. They had plenty of food inside the spatial rings, and the two children didn’t make any noises too as they played inside the cabin. Jiang Yi fully concentrated on cultivating his essence force and also comprehending the Heaven-Extinguis.h.i.+ng Inferno.
Time elapsed quickly during cultivation as one month flew past.
The Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p cruised peacefully and didn’t encounter any danger. Jiang Yi was woken up by the supervisor’s transmitted message, and he returned to the cabin to play with Xiao Yu for half a day. Afterward, he was rather satisfied as he got to know that Tantai s.h.i.+ and everyone didn’t go out of the cabin for this whole month.
There were plenty of young masters in this Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p. Even though the s.h.i.+p had rules on forbidding violence—if Tantai s.h.i.+ was to go out and flirt around, trouble would inevitably come.
Jiang Yi inquired from the guards and found out that they were a few days away from leaving Waterfront Region and entering Heaven State Region. Heaven Flame City was in the central-eastern part of Heaven State Region. Everyone would be disembarking mid-way at Heaven Dragon City and switching to another Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p.
It was nighttime, and Jiang Yi had returned to his secret cultivation room. His cultivation realm might be difficult to advance, but it would be even more difficult if he didn’t cultivate in the secret cultivation room. Hence, it was necessary for him to make use of every minute and second to cultivate.
He paid no attention to the outside matters and wholeheartedly cultivated. He had forgotten about the time and about everything else. Until two weeks later, he woke up abruptly as he was enveloped by two powerful aura presences.
“En?”
He was currently in the Union of Heaven and Man state, and he immediately checked out. After observing the situation, he was slightly rea.s.sured.
No one was attacking the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p as it was two experts in combat far away from them. They had completely released their aura presence; thus, the horrific pressure had enveloped the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p which alerted him.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
Countless cabins on the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p had opened up, and many pa.s.sengers had come out while in fear. It was obvious that they were alarmed by the powerful aura presence. They all let out a breath of relief when they saw the guards standing still and didn’t have any panicking expressions.
“There is no need to panic. It is just two Four-Star experts. With this old one here, even if those two planned to attack the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p, this old one can suppress them with a flip of my hand. Also, no one will dare to attack the Tang Clan’s Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p!”
An aged voice echoed into everyone’s ears along with a deep and resounding aura presence. Jiang Yi immediately transmitted a message to Song Zhong and asked them to stay inside. He didn’t exit from the secret cultivation room and didn’t even stop cultivating his essence force. Because the transmitted message from the old man felt too horrifying, and it was just slightly inferior to Lei Gu and should be a Five-Star expert.
“Four-Star?”
Jiang Yi’s mind was triggered. Since there were two Four-Star experts in combat, he could take the chance to comprehend the influence and might be able to grasp something.
The Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p actually slowed down and stopped. It seemed like they had the intention for the guest on the s.h.i.+p and the guards of the Tang Clan to observe the battle. These two experts were currently attacking with all their strength and didn’t reserve anything. It was a good opportunity to observe and comprehend.
Jiang Yi wasn’t observing the experts’ ability. He was in the Union of Heaven and Man state, and he was carefully sensing the aura presence emitted by the two of them. He then tried to sense the existence of the ‘influence’.
It was two elders in combat, and plenty of martial artists’ corpses were at the bottom. No one knew if they were the clansmen or subordinates, but the two of them were fully concentrated on this intense battle of death. They didn’t even bother about the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p which was located far away from them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two of them turned into rays of the rainbow while they s.h.i.+fted and flashed around the sky. One of them constantly struck out dark green streaks of light, and every attack would cause the surrounding winds to echo loudly. His speed was also extremely terrifying as regular Heaven Monarchs wouldn’t be able to see his figure clearly and would only see afterimages.
His attack had caused the rise of powerful whirlwinds as all the rocks at the mountains below were siphoned up and whirling in the sky. Many ma.s.sive trees were also uprooted at the same time. It was obvious that this expert had cultivated the wind attribute dao pattern.
It was very obvious what the other expert cultivated. It was the light dao pattern as his body was like a scorching sun, and his every attack would be pillars of light. Those pillars of light flashed past and had stunning speed, but they were all dodged by the other elder. When these pillars of light blasted onto the mountain peaks below, it caused the mountains to split and crumble, leaving behind deep pits and ravines.
“What is influence? Aura presence? Aura from blood? Pressure?”
Jiang Yi wasn’t paying attention to the dao patterns and attacks released by the two experts as he was vaguely sensing their aura presence, blood, and pressure. The duo had very powerful aura presences which were like dragons and elephants. He could vaguely sense it from a distance, and it felt as though two scorching suns were flying around in the sky.
“No! It isn’t aura presence, blood, or pressure. It is the guided power of heaven and earth!”
Jiang Yi recalled about Ao Lu’s words, and his mind had an inspiration. He completely ignored the two experts and went to sense the heaven and earth changes in the surrounding. Gradually, he noticed the source of the problem.
Heaven and earth already had countless elements within it, like wind, fire, light, darkness, and many others. Martial artists cultivated and absorbed this power of heaven and earth. When they released the dao pattern attacks which they comprehended from heaven and earth, elements from heaven and earth would gather towards the martial artists. Like the wind attribute dao pattern which would attract the surrounding winds, condensing into a powerful attack.
If a regular martial artist wanted to sense the enemy’s strength, they would judge by the aura presence, pressure, and blood. When the opposition was attacking, they would immediately try to determine the attack power from the opposition. Why would they even go sense heaven and earth changes in the surroundings?
Using Ao Lu’s pointers and his current Union of Heaven and Man state, Jiang Y finally felt the clear presence of the influence. When the wind attribute elder released his attack, the surrounding wind elements would be attracted to him. When the other elder released his attack, the surrounding light elements would be attracted to him.
“They are indeed Four-Star experts!”
Jiang Yi silently sensed it and noticed when the two experts released their attacks, the surrounding two miles of heaven and earth energy would be affected. A Three-Star expert would be able to affect the influence within a one-mile radius while Four-Star was twice of Three-Star, making it two miles.
“So this is the influence!”
Jiang Yi had comprehended again and had completely understood it. He muttered for a moment and walked out of the secret room and towards the deck. Among the two, one of them was possibly a wind attribute expert. Jiang Yi had also comprehended some wind attribute dao patterns, and if he was able to comprehend anything, it would be best.
He walked out and saw that the sun was already setting. He took another glance at the two individuals still locked in an intense battle and murmured with a frown. “The sky is turning dark, and these two are still not stopping? Are they not afraid of getting killed by the astral winds?”
