Chapter 112: Chapter 110: Flying Technique
Though he’d said it would be soon, Jiang Zuo estimated it would still take about ten years.
Back then, it took about forty-seven years to develop the Underwater Breathing Technique.
But the Black Stone Fish could be raised in just eight months, whereas the Seated Mountain Eagle required a full year.
Ten years was by no means a short time to a mortal, but to Jiang Zuo, it didn’t feel that long.
After confirming the effects of those fruits, starting that year, Jiang Zuo had the newly raised Seated Mountain Eagles begin consciously collecting the lowest-level fruits.
These fruits were so effective that in the future, if One, Two, and the others were to Promote to Innate through Scattering and Reincarnation, he could have them consume these fruits to rapidly increase their strength again.
Although he had yet to test it, Jiang Zuo believed this path was viable.
Also in preparation for the future, Jiang Zuo began studying the Nine Revolutions Returning Essence Skill in his spare time, so the Seated Mountain Eagles, and even Great Black, could cultivate it.
After obtaining a large quantity of Heaven and Earth Primordial Power Ore, Great Black’s Cultivation speed had increased. Within ten years, it would be able to open all one hundred and eight acupoints and reach Grandmaster Great Perfection.
However, trying to Promote to Innate from there would likely be impossible without the subsequent Magic Skill for the Blood God Skill.
When the time came, he would first see if those fruits were effective for Great Black.
If they were, Great Black would likely have a shortcut to promoting to the Innate realm.
If not, Great Black would have to switch to cultivating the Nine Revolutions Returning Essence Skill.
Modifying a Cultivation Technique for a Pet Beast was by no means a simple matter.
Furthermore, modifying the Nine Revolutions Returning Essence Skill was far more difficult than modifying the Blood God Skill.
The Blood God Skill had a corresponding supplementary Cultivation Magic Skill, but for the Nine Revolutions Returning Essence Skill, Jiang Zuo had to figure it out himself.
But Jiang Zuo now possessed not only the Pet Beast Diagnosis skill but also the Power of Life, allowing him to experiment on Great Black and the Seated Mountain Eagles without fear of causing them serious harm.
Therefore, although progress on modifying the Cultivation Technique was not fast, it was advancing steadily.
Amid his fulfilling and busy routine, time slowly trickled by.
As batch after batch of Seated Mountain Eagles departed and returned, Jiang Zuo’s supply of fruits of every grade grew ever larger.
Several Seated Mountain Eagles were promoted to the Grandmaster Level almost every year.
With these Grandmaster Level Seated Mountain Eagles providing protection, Jiang Zuo could ensure that even the weaker ones could successfully snatch fruits and return.
Jiang Zuo reckoned that the powerful figure who had originally set up the Mysterious Island in the East Sea and planted the giant tree never expected that someone like him would be able to harvest the tree’s fruits in such large quantities.
Soon, the fifty-sixth year of Jiang Zuo raising Seated Mountain Eagles arrived.
It was just as Jiang Zuo had predicted.
That evening, a long-awaited text prompt materialized before his eyes.
『The Celestial Dao rewards diligence! By continuously raising Seated Mountain Eagles, you have obtained the avian Racial Ability: ’Flying Technique’!』
——Flying Technique: Avian Racial Ability. You have mastered a flying technique like that of a bird and can fly freely in the sky by fully leveraging your own or external conditions. This Racial Ability can be learned by a Pet Beast through advanced training.
Jiang Zuo’s spirits lifted. ’It’s finally here.’
He quickly checked his attribute panel.
’Fully leveraging your own or external conditions? Does that mean I can’t fly unconditionally, like I imagined?’
’But that makes sense, I suppose. Birds can fly because they have wings. Even Cultivators have to consume Spiritual Power to fly.’
Jiang Zuo glanced at the description, realizing the Flying Technique wasn’t as simple as he had imagined.
Still, there was no denying that obtaining the Flying Technique was a huge gain.
Jiang Zuo closed his eyes, concentrating on the new sensation.
He immediately and keenly perceived that his sensitivity to the surrounding wind had increased dramatically.
He could clearly feel even the faintest breeze as it brushed past him.
The breeze stirred within him an irrepressible urge to fly into the sky.
But he couldn’t take flight on that impulse alone.
After a moment’s thought, Jiang Zuo activated the Blood God Skill.
An immense cloud of Blood Qi instantly enveloped a large area. Although Jiang Zuo hadn’t cultivated the Blood God Skill in a long time, his current Blood Qi was astonishingly potent.
With a turn of his thoughts, the Blood Qi rapidly converged.
Finally, it formed a pair of crimson wings on Jiang Zuo’s back, condensed entirely from Blood Qi.
Blood and Qi Wings!
With a single flap of the Blood Wings on his back, he shot up from the ground and into the air.
"Haha! Not bad at all!"
Jiang Zuo soared dozens of meters into the sky, overlooking the entire island below.
A feeling of exhilarating freedom surged up from the depths of his heart.
Jiang Zuo couldn’t help but laugh heartily in delight.
It might not have been unconditional flight, but he could fly with ease using the Blood Wings condensed from his Blood Qi.
Decades of painstakingly raising Seated Mountain Eagles had finally paid off!
He flew a dozen leisurely laps over the island. Aside from consuming some Blood Qi, Jiang Zuo felt no discomfort—only an unparalleled sense of freedom.
Humans, especially one like him from the modern world, truly couldn’t resist the exhilarating freedom that came with flight.
It wasn’t just the Flying Technique. In the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas, the Seated Mountain Eagle’s page had also gained a golden mark.
Jiang Zuo could now set the Seated Mountain Eagle as the primary element and condense a corresponding Ten Thousand Beasts Armor.
"Ten Thousand Beasts Armor!"
Without landing, Jiang Zuo donned the Ten Thousand Beasts Armor while still in mid-air.
In the next instant, a suit of armor formed entirely from sturdy black feathers enveloped his entire body.
Not only that, but the armor also featured a pair of huge black wings on its back.
Combined with the Flying Technique, Jiang Zuo felt an incredible sense of flexibility, able to move as he wished even in mid-air.
WHOOSH!
Wearing this avian Ten Thousand Beasts Armor, Jiang Zuo’s flight speed increased explosively.
He was now two to three times faster than a Seated Mountain Eagle.
It was truly astonishing!
After flying freely for a while, Jiang Zuo stopped and considered his current appearance.
’In this state, could I pass for a bird?’
He thought that in his current state, if he were to mix in with a flock of birds, no one would be able to tell the difference.
Moreover, he felt that his aura was also very similar to a bird’s.
’In that case, could I follow the Seated Mountain Eagles and sneak onto those Mysterious Islands?’
’If I went myself, I could pick as many of those fruits as I wanted.’
However, after a moment’s thought, Jiang Zuo shook his head and dismissed the idea.
He didn’t know if the place had some kind of identification mechanism. If he triggered it, all his hard work might be for naught, and he himself could face unknown dangers.
After all, Jiang Zuo still had no clue what was truly on those Mysterious Islands.
Regardless, Jiang Zuo knew he should wait for now. He would first get his Seated Mountain Eagles promoted to the Innate realm before making any other plans.
’The number of Seated Mountain Eagles is sufficient. Now that I’ve developed their Racial Ability, there’s no need to keep raising more.’
’Next, I’ll raise Iron Thorn Fish!’ Jiang Zuo thought.
He had already considered which Pet Beast to raise after developing the Seated Mountain Eagle’s Racial Ability.
The best choice would have been a new Pet Beast with a different Racial Ability.
But on this island, all he could find were birds and sea fish.
In the end, Jiang Zuo chose the Iron Thorn Fish.
It was a carnivorous sea fish with extremely hard, smooth skin and very high defensive capabilities.
Since they were primarily carnivorous, Jiang Zuo could use the Longevity Jade Stone to shorten their growth cycle to about five months.
This meant he could develop the Iron Thorn Fish’s Racial Ability in just over twenty years.
Theoretically, the Iron Thorn Fish’s Racial Ability should also be the Underwater Breathing Technique.
Jiang Zuo decided to raise them to find out whether he would gain a different Racial Ability, or if it would simply enhance his Underwater Breathing Technique.
Even if neither of those things happened, he would at least get a Ten Thousand Beasts Armor with decent defensive power.
