Soaring Cloud Riding Mist Technique; Black-Robed Man
After an unknown amount of time, when Zhou Chen had drawn a total of two thousand Black Hole Grenade, the reward finally changed:
"Ding... Draw a [Divine Ability] type reward: Soaring Cloud Riding Mist - This divine ability originates from the Primordial Heavenly Court Plane and is one of the Thirty-Six Transformations of Tiangang. Using this technique, one can ride the clouds and mist to fly in the air. The speed and altitude of flight depend on the cultivator's strength."
"The Thirty-Six Transformations of Tiangang?"
Zhou Chen couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
The so-called Thirty-Six Transformations of Tiangang are not the transformation techniques that ordinary people think they are, but rather refer to thirty-six supreme immortal supernatural powers!
Creation Manipulation, Move Stars and Change Constellations, Turn Heaven Back the Sun... Just hearing the names of these supernatural powers, you can imagine their immense power!
As for Soaring Cloud Riding Mist, there must be a reason why it can be listed as one of the Thirty-Six Transformations of Tiangang.
Legend has it that the highest level of Soaring Cloud Riding Mist cultivation allows cultivators to travel to the North Sea in the morning and rest in Cangwu at night, chasing stars and the sun, enjoying themselves in thousands of mountains, and traversing tens of thousands of miles in a single thought!
Although Zhou Chen is far from reaching that level now, he can still travel a thousand miles in a day.
It took Zhou Chen and Zhu Zhuqing about a month to travel from the Shrek Academy to Heaven Dou City.
But as long as Zhou Chen learns this Soaring Cloud Riding Mist technique, he can arrive within three days!
By the way, Zhou Chen's third Soul Skill — Ground Shrinking Golden Light —is actually one of the Thirty-Six Transformations of Tiangang.
However, the Ground Shrinking Golden Light is used for teleportation in battle, which is fast for short distances but cannot be sustained; while Soaring Cloud Riding Mist was used by ancient immortals for long-distance travel.
"System, I want to learn..."
As soon as Zhou Chen spoke, the System immediately understood.
"Ding... The magic is being translated..."
"Energy adjustment in progress..."
"Start!"
Before he finished speaking, a jade-colored auspicious cloud appeared in front of Zhou Chen.
As soon as the auspicious cloud appeared, it floated directly in front of Zhou Chen and entered his body.
In an instant, hundreds of cultivation runes and ancient characters flashed through Zhou Chen's mind and were deeply imprinted there!
Meanwhile, the Central Earth Apricot Yellow Qi within his body circulate continuously through his meridians and acupoints along a specific route.
Gradually, he felt his body become lighter, like a feather, as if a slight breeze could lift him up.
"Soaring Cloud Riding Mist..."
Zhou Chen murmured softly, as if he were in a sea of clouds, soaring freely.
After an unknown amount of time, the System's voice finally sounded again:
"Ding... Transfer of power complete. Please check your attributes."
The next moment, a long-lost pale gold attribute panel appeared before Zhou Chen's eyes:
Name: Zhou Chen

"Tsk tsk, have you finally upgraded from handsome to dashing?"
Zhou Chen looked at the two large characters on the panel and nodded in agreement. Then, he said calmly, "System, continue the lottery."
"Ding... Draw a [Medicinal Pill] reward: Life Devouring Pill..."
"Ding... You have drawn a [Cultivation Technique] type reward..."
"Bite..."
At the same time.
Southwest of Heaven Dou City.
It was the dead of night, and the wide streets were deserted.
A man in a black robe, with nine gold threads embroidered on his left chest and a black Black-Robed Man hat covered by a black veil, walked briskly and skillfully along the way. He kept turning back at various streets and walked for a good half hour before slowing down.
Looking at an inconspicuous courtyard in the distance, he murmured to himself, "We've arrived."
The Black-Robed Man strode forward and lightly knocked on the door with a rhythmic tap, clearly signaling a secret code.
"Come in."
A hoarse voice rang out, and then the door quietly opened, and the Black-Robed Man slowly stepped in.
The person who opened the door was a young man dressed in white who did not conceal his face.
The young man was pale, with bulging eyes and a blank expression, like a zombie.
But when the young man saw that there were nine golden lines on the Black-Robed Man's chest, the originally expressionless zombie face immediately became extremely excited and he knelt down on one knee!
"Greetings, Elder."
"Get up, take me to see the other elders," the Black-Robed Man said calmly.
"Yes, ma'am."
The young man immediately stood up and led the Black-Robed Man along a path to the deepest part of the courtyard, where there was a side room that looked like a bedroom.
The room was not large, only a few dozen square meters. The young man pushed open the door, respectfully extended his hand in a salute, and gestured for the Black-Robed Man to enter first.
The Black-Robed Man strode in, and there was another man in white robes whose face was not covered.
Upon seeing the nine golden lines on the Black-Robed Man's chest, the man in white also knelt on one knee with great excitement and said in a deep voice, "Greetings, Elder! May my Holy Spirit endure forever!"
"Enough talk, open the secret passage."
The Black-Robed Man nodded.
Not daring to retort, the man in white immediately walked to a bookshelf in the room and raised his hand to slap the protrusions on the bookshelf.
Suddenly, accompanied by the clicking sound of a mechanism, the bookshelf in front of me slowly opened to both sides, revealing a dark entrance.
The entrance clearly extends underground.
The Black-Robed Man strode in and walked along the tunnel for a kilometer or two before arriving at a spacious hall.
In fact, this is not a hall, but a huge underground palace!
This underground palace covers an area of over a thousand acres. Every few hundred square meters, there is a black beam pillar carved with two skulls, supporting the underground palace from collapsing.
Meanwhile, inside the palace, countless figures dressed in black robes and white clothes moved back and forth, seemingly busy with something. A rough estimate suggests there were at least a thousand people in the palace.
These thousands of people were all Soul Master, and almost all of them were at least level 40 Soul Ancestor. Even Soul Emperors, Soul Saint, and Soul Douluo, all above level 60, numbered over a hundred!
Upon seeing the man in the Black-Robed Man with nine gold threads embroidered on his chest, all of them immediately knelt down and respectfully bowed.
The Black-Robed Man waved his hand, then silently walked quickly toward the innermost part of the palace.
Deep within the palace lies a brightly lit and lavishly decorated Secret Chamber.
At this moment, three people were already sitting on the seven futons in the Secret Chamber.
The three men were also dressed in black robes with nine gold threads embroidered on their chests, but they did not wear face-covering hats.
Of the three, the one sitting in the middle was a huge, obese middle-aged man, almost as tall as Hu Yanzhen of the Elephant Armor Sect.
To the left of the fat man was an old man whose body appeared normal, but who exuded a cold and sinister aura, like a venomous snake.
To the right of the fat man was a tall, thin man with a gaunt face.
Because he has so few facial muscles and is bald, without even eyebrows, it's actually difficult to determine his age.
Although these three looked rather shabby, no one dared to laugh at them. Because they were all... Title Douluo!
