“Master, where is the Skyburn Tomb? I will hurry over there now. If I’m lucky, I will be able to get that magical weapon,” asked Ye Mo eagerly.

“The Skyburn Tomb is located at an area in the Eastern region of the Tianwu Kingdom – the Skyburn Mountain Range. That mountain range has already become a mission location for the three major institutions. Plenty of Inner League members head towards the mountain range to look for the Skyburn Tomb. There are multiple corpses in the Skyburn Mountain Range. All those corpses were previously in the Energy Shaping Fifth Realm, or even Sixth Realm. The journey to the Skyburn Tomb is filled with dangers. I do not feel safe letting you go,” said Elder Feng.

“Master, I have to get that magical weapon!” Ye Mo had a face of determination.

“So be it!” Seeing how determined Ye Mo was, Elder Feng sighed and said, “You and your father are exactly the same. If you want to go, fine. However, you have to learn the martial techniques that I’m passing down to you first, so that I won’t have to worry about you. If you master these techniques, you can at least somewhat deal with fighters in the Energy Shaping Sixth Realm.

“What technique? Don’t tell me you’re going to teach me how to fly?”

Fighters in the Energy Shaping Sixth Realm had the ability to walk on air. Fighters below the Sixth Realm were no match for them.

“My technique is no worse than flying. This technique is an ultimate technique of mine, something that your father once learnt before. However, the element of his energy was fire, so he only grasped the surface of the technique,” said Elder Feng.

“A technique that even Father didn’t manage to learn? I have to learn it then,” Ye Mo said, smiling, with a twinkle in his eye.

“This technique is called Windward Dash, an abstruse Dash Technique. Once you master it, you will be able to step on air and walk. While this technique is rather meaningless above the Energy Shaping Sixth Realm, once you master it, it will be extremely helpful for your body,” said Elder Feng.

“Windward Dash? Isn’t that a low-tier spiritual level technique largely considered a worthless technique? I learned that from the Ye Clan.”

The two techniques that Ye Mo secretly learned from the start was the Phantom Serpent Palm and Windward Dash.

“Qing’er taught the Ye Clan the Windward Dash before he even mastered it – it was naturally going to be regarded as a worthless technique. Look carefully, I shall show you the true power of the Windward Dash!”

As he spoke, he immediately shot out of the Fengshen Temple, his body as light as the winds. Ye Mo instantly rushed up to witness this miraculous sight.

Elder Feng jumped up into air, and just as he was about to drop down, with a kick from his other leg, his body rose into the sky again. The kick appeared light but extremely powerful.

With a few more steps, it was as if Elder Feng was ascending stairs in the sky, causing chaos in the winds. This was not walking in the winds using wings, but still, the Windward Dash was indeed powerful.

Following that, Elder Feng landed in front of Ye Mo, who had a dumbfounded expression on his face. He lightly patted Ye Mo on the shoulder and said, “Since you’ve learnt the Windward Dash before, give it a try!”

“Okay!”

Ye Mo focused 60 beams of Giant Dragon Power towards both his legs and sprang into the air. However, the ground did not show any cracks. Ye Mo launched himself into mid-air like a cannonball and took a step when he felt like he was about to fall.

“Lies! There’s nothing!” Ye Mo stepped through the air and directly dropped down from the sky, falling heavily.

“Haha, Disciple, you must use your heart to feel and combine into a single entity with the air. What is wind? Wind is merely air. You will only be able to step on air once you are able to combine with the air as one. Figure it out yourself!” Elder Feng said as he entered the Divine Wind Pavilion.

“Stupid Brother Ye Mo, you’ve embarrassed yourself now!” Ling’er clutched at her stomach and laughed wildly as she sat on a seal.

“You come and try!” Ye Mo was rather unconvinced.

“Don’t tell me you’ve never seen me flying in the air freely? I have no need for stepping on air at all,” said Ling’er.

“Exactly.”

Ye Mo suddenly came to a realization – this Ling’er did not even have to unleash her wings to fly in the air. Just like the lady dressed in palace attire who took Xiao Yue away, she directly floated in the air.

“How do you all do that?”

“Your master’s talent has been highly trained – he should have already reached the Spirit Devour Realm and would have made the breakthrough to the Transcendence Realm if not for his old age. That Windward Dash technique of his sounds easy, but is very much the opposite. Those who understand it can easily pick it up, while those who don’t will not be able to learn it no matter what is being said to them.”

Ling’er rubbed her head and said, “One word – Realization! Actually, your master has already informed you of the things you have to realize. Whether you can do it depends on yourself. While stepping on air will be a technique that won’t have much use when you reach the Energy Shaping Sixth Realm, if you can realize it, there are still great benefits for your future training.”

Martial technique training was different from energy training. It depended on the fighter’s gifts, like their auras.

Ye Mo did not rush into practising the technique, instead sitting down cross-legged, with Elder Feng’s words continuously revolving around his mind.

“Wind is air, and when you combine with the air as one, only then will you be able to step on air.

“How do I combine as one with the air? How is it possible for the human body to merge into one with the air?”

Ye Mo continuously pondered over this question in his heart. However, when he saw Elder Feng in the air, his body appeared completely lightweight, like a tree leaf dancing in the winds.

“Leaf? If even leaves can dance in the air, why can’t I? I am just a bigger leaf.”

Ye Mo suddenly opened his eyes, which gave out a glow. His face was filled with determination.

Ye Mo sprang up once again, but this time his body was not like a cannonball piercing through the air, but an extremely light entity, like a leaf or a feather. His speed was not slow at all as he rose into the sky. His eyes were shut as he felt his body being within the air. At that moment, Ye Mo actually realized that he had completely merged with the air.

His blood, flesh, energy – all of his being completely combined with the air as one!

Boom!

With a step of his leg, Ye Mo once again rose above the air, covering a large distance. While the speed was not very fast, he had achieved stepping on air.

“I understand it now!”

Ye Mo revealed a smile of confidence, both his legs continuously stepping in the air. He started to create some chaos in the winds, with every jump that he made covering more distance at greater speed.

Others would have been in shock if they saw what was happening: an Energy Shaping First Realm fighter was actually creating chaos in the winds.

Showcasing the Windward Dash and stepping on air might not be as liberating as using energy wings to fly in the air, but it could still achieve the unexpected.

Standing on the top level of the Divine Wind Pavilion, Elder Feng gave a wry smile, looking at Ye Mo bumbling around in the air. Ye Mo’s talent was indeed scary, only taking half a day’s time to master the essence of the Windward Dash and achieving the true form of stepping on air!

A couple more days of practice and he could definitely use the technique during battle.

“Qing’er, your son is going to overtake you eventually!”
