Chapter 132: Dragon Spiritual Energy!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Dragons are born from the clouds, tigers are born from the wind.

Back in Cultivation World, Ling Yun had witnessed a true ‘waterspout’ before. He had even seen it multiple times.

The most profound memory he had of witnessing a waterspout was when he had been at the peak of his Fusion Stage, which was also the beginning of his Tribulation Stage. Out of boredom, he had decided to fly to a wide ocean that stretched endlessly and have some fun there on a whim.

Coincidentally, there had been nine huge hornless dragons evolving into dragons in the ocean. The nine hornless dragons, each spanning more than 100 meters, flew around in the air and danced in the ocean as they rode the waves of the seemingly endless ocean. Soon after, Ling Yun got to witness the waterspout.

The nine ferocious hornless dragons flew into the storm clouds few thousand meters away from the water before inhaling huge breaths simultaneously. As they inhaled, nine white pillars made of water with a diameter of 1 kilometer each erupted from the ocean into the air and connected with the storm clouds above. As the nine huge hornless dragons circled around in the air, the nine gigantic waterspouts spiraling into the air moved around quickly on the surface of the ocean. What a sight it was to behold!

Even someone as experienced and knowledgeable as Ling Yun who had reached the peak of his Fusion Stage had been shaken as he witnessed the majestic view!

With his abilities, along with countless magical instruments and medicine, Ling Yun, who had been at the peak of his Fusion Stage, could easily take down several masters who were at the peak of Tribulation Stage. These few hornless dragons that were about to evolve into dragons were no different from a few little snakes slithering on the ground. He could easily kill them all without even lifting a finger.

The nine hornless dragons began to tremble in fear the moment they noticed Ling Yun’s appearance. They were afraid that Ling Yun would remove their dragon scales and pluck out their dragon tendons right after they were done evolving into dragons before throwing an extravagant dragon barbecue feast!

However, Ling Yun was busy utilizing all his strength in attempting to surpa.s.s the Tribulation Stage. Thus, he could not even be bothered to bully the nine hornless dragons as he flew into the thick storm clouds and stood on the head of the biggest hornless dragon. After messing around for a while, he decided to head home.

Therefore, just by looking at the extent of the storm clouds gathering through the Savant’s Restaurant window, Ling Yun had been able to determine that, most likely, a waterspout had been about to occur!

If it really was a waterspout, then a dragon would undoubtedly appear. Therefore, the thought that he had of the Great Wall of China being a dragon’s vein seemed to make sense now.

How could he not be excited?

Now, Ling Yun had confirmed that it was indeed a waterspout. It was only natural for Ling Yun to be excited for what was about to come, and that was to be able to see a dragon! Even if he did not see a dragon, a hornless dragon would do just fine!

These were the thoughts floating through Ling Yun’s head as he anxiously awaited the arrival of a dragon. However, Ning Lingyu and Xue Meining were not sharing his thoughts at the moment.

Waterspout, also known as a “water tornado”, is a type of tornado that occasionally appears directly above warm water. The top of the waterspout is connected to a storm cloud whereas the bottom is connected to the surface of the water, moving as it spins around.

According to their understanding of this piece of knowledge, a waterspout is caused by a vortex as air rotates around the tornado’s axis at high speeds. As the air pressure in the center of the tornado reduces the attraction, the water gets sucked into the bottom of the vortex, thus beginning to swirl upwards around the tornado, finally forming a waterspout.

27th July 2001, 9 am. A rare waterspout was observed on the surface of the Shenwan Sea in Shenzhen City. The waterspout that connected the sea and the sky lasted for approximately 20 minutes.

With modern day technology and the widespread use of the Internet, this sort of interesting news spread like wildfire over the Internet, especially among high school students, who are infamous for their curiosity. Therefore, both of the girls had seen photos of a waterspout on the Internet before.

Even though all they saw were photos, they had also been shaken by the sight of such a rare phenomenon and had also wondered if dragons really existed in the world. Never would they have expected Ling Yun to bring them to Tiger Cliff today to witness the legendary waterspout. It was no wonder they started shrieking out of sheer excitement!

In the blink of an eye, apart from the dark clouds hovering over Qingshui Lake, the rest of Qingshui City was basking in the warm sunlight once again. Everything was back to normal.

Ling Yun’s judgment on time had also been right. The students of Grade 12 Cla.s.s 6 who were eating in the Savant’s Restaurant saw that the darkness had completely disappeared 20 minutes after it had appeared, just as Ling Yun had predicted. Each and every one of them was shocked and confused, thus, they began to express their opinions and have a discussion as they returned to the school for their afternoon lessons.

After the dark clouds above Qingshui City had dissipated, the traffic went back to normal as the people went on with their busy lives, be it working or studying. The waterspout that was currently happening at Qingshui Lake had been blocked by the tall buildings of this concrete jungle. Not a lot of people were lucky enough to witness such a stunning phenomenon.

Qingshui Restaurant had a total of six floors. In a certain luxury private room on the top floor.

In order to cater to the needs and mentality of the tourists that had come here to enjoy the beautiful scenery, the interior designer in charge of designing Qingshui Restaurant had definitely put a lot of thought into his work. The two walls of the luxury private room that was facing Qingshui Lake were made up of floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing the natural sunlight to illuminate the room. The floor-to-ceiling windows had been scrubbed clean to the point that they were even clearer than the wine gla.s.ses on the table. The view from this private luxury room was absolutely stunning. One could admire Qingshui Lake in all its glory along with the greenery that decorated the edges of the lake.

Even though the view from the private luxury room was nothing compared to the view from Tiger Cliff, it still gave the viewer a serene and soothing vibe.

The general manager of Qingshui Restaurant took it up a notch by placing a telescope with a stainless-steel tripod in each of these luxury private rooms in order to satisfy all of the tourists’ needs. One could say that the general manager had completely figured out the tourists’ wants and needs.

Of course, a private room this luxurious would naturally be reserved for the richest customers. Along Qingshui Lake, which was practically packed full with tourists, the restaurant charged the customers by the hour. Especially for public holidays such as Lunar New Year or National Day, one would have to make reservations for the luxury private rooms that charged 2000 dollars per hour!

Of course, this was not an issue for Tang Meng, Li Qingchuan, and Cao Shanshan and the rest. Moreover, they had a female police officer with them!

With these few people together, it was possible that they would be able to enter any shop or private room their hearts desired!

Right now, these four people, along with Zhang Ling, stood in a horizontal line before the floor-to-ceiling window in the luxury private room with their jaws dropped and their eyes fixed on the center of Qingshui Lake. That pillar of water glistening in the sun that was spinning faster and thicker with every pa.s.sing moment. Every single of them were jaw-dropped and rendered completely speechless by the scene before them!

Waterspout! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness a waterspout! What a sight to behold!

A few minutes later, Tang Meng began mumbling to himself, “No wonder Boss said he wanted to open their eyes up to something new. This is the legendary waterspout! Fortunately, we took a shortcut and got here in time, else we would’ve missed it!”

“D*mn, I’ve only seen pictures and videos of this on the internet. Never would I have imagined that I would have the opportunity to witness it today. This scene is just too amazing!”, said Li Qingchuan.

“Waterspout, it’s really a waterspout. No wonder Ling Yun said there was no time to waste for our cla.s.smates to get back to school. Turns out he knew about this all along. But how was he able to tell?!”, said Cao Shanshan.

Zhang Ling did not utter a single word. She had been left in a daze and rendered completely speechless by the majestic scene before her eyes!

Lin Menghan gently bit her seductive lips as she gawked at the huge water pillar in the middle of Qingshui Lake and the funnel-shaped vortex above that was getting bigger and bigger. No one knew what is going on in her mind.

Dragon Mountain, Tiger Cliff.

Ling Yun was between Xue Meining and Ning Lingyu as he held them both in his arms. He did not spare a single glance at the world-shaking water pillar that connected the water and the skies. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the dark clouds hovering above Qingshui Lake.

He was antic.i.p.ating. Antic.i.p.ating the appearance of a dragon!

Right now, the diameter of the water pillar was less than 3 meters as it continued to grow in size, thus, Ling Yun was not exactly worried or anxious about the outcome.

The water pillar before them was completely straight with no bends on it and did not move about a lot, therefore, Ling Yun knew that even if there was a dragon, it still had not appeared. This is because a dragon is always circling and flying through the sky. It could not possibly stay still.

“Wa… What a huge water pillar, how did that end up in mid-air?”, Xue Meining asked naturally.

“Big Brother, this scene is just too majestic. How long is it going to stay like this?” Ning Lingyu b.u.t.ts in with her own question.

The two campus belles jumped to the conclusion that Ling Yun had brought them here to witness the waterspout and a.s.sumed that the water pillar that was spinning at high speeds was the ‘dragon’ that he had been referring to, thus ending up with vastly different expectations from Ling Yun.

Ling Yun casually glanced at the glistening pillar of water and replied them, “This should be able to go on for another 20 minutes!” He then continued to tilt his head up and fix his gaze on the dark clouds in the sky as his eyes scrambled to look for a silhouette of a dragon!

Why on earth was Ling Yun this excited as he awaited the arrival of a dragon? This was because he was afraid of loneliness as he painstakingly tried to attain divinity all by himself in this world. So what if he was able to destroy the earth with the snap of a finger?

Without a soulmate, without an opponent, as much as he got stronger by the day, he would only be getting stronger by yourself. Whatever he got in return would be loneliness that knew no end. What was the point of training this hard if he was just going to end up alone?

Was it just to play a prank on people like Tie Xiaohu?

Eternal life? Eternal life is nothing but a myth. Even the masters who lived in Cultivation who attained completion, they, too, would meet their demise someday!

This was why Ling Yun was so desperate for a dragon to appear before him. It was only when he knew that something stronger than him existed and was able to pose a threat to him that he would be filled with fighting spirit and have a purpose in life!

The saying, ‘Born in worries, die in peace’, embodied this concept perfectly.

Another ten minutes had pa.s.sed and the diameter of the water pillar had already exceeded 15 meters. A giant vortex in the shape of a funnel spanning more than 80 meters in diameter had appeared on the surface of Qingshui Lake. Ling Yun began to hear the rumbling of the water swirling around in the vortex.

Suddenly, from the dark clouds looming over the lake, a huge silver lightning in the shape of a dragon flashed across the entire sky over Qingshui Lake!

The lightning was extremely wide, nearly 20 centimeters wide when observed from the Tiger Cliff with a naked eye. The silvery-white dragon-shaped lightning was as glaring as a torchlight in the night, its brightness far exceeded the brightness of an electric welding machine as it illuminated their faces. Everyone who was there to witness the scene immediately closed their eyes as their eyes had begun tearing up from the bright lights!

Ling Yun kept his eyes wide open! On the contrary, just as the lightning bolt flashed through the dark clouds, Ling Yun tried his very best to widen his eyes and endured the excruciating pain as his gaze swept across the dark cloud with excitement written all over his face!

Then, he saw a black snake-like figure that was slightly longer than 10 meters circling around in the cloud as it danced around!

Is that a dragon? A thought flashed through his mind. Just as he was about to take a closer look, the lightning was gone and he could no longer see anything!

Ling Yun continued to endure the agonizing pain in his eyes as he looked around, but the lightning had temporarily blinded him. Thus, he closed his eyes tightly as he waits for them to recover.

Just as Ling Yun began spiraling into an endless whirlpool of regrets and anger, a huge wave of spiritual energy washed through the peak of Dragon Mountain as the spiritual energy filled the atmosphere!

Ling Yun found the scent of this spiritual energy extremely familiar!

Dragon spiritual energy!

The mystical brush given to Ling Yun by Liu Li began to tremble in his pocket!
