Wind Element Divine Clone

"Yes, thank you, Lord Aier!"

Eric and the others were overjoyed, thanking Aier repeatedly.

Seeing Aier agree to let Eric and his group follow him, the six Mid-God Fiends couldn't help but reveal expressions of envy in their eyes.

However, they also knew that in the eyes of a powerhouse like Lord Aier, they didn't even count as small fry.

They simply weren't qualified to follow Lord Aier.

Eric and his group were only accepted by Lord Aier because they possessed the ability to conduct business.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

Just as the group was preparing to set off, the four Two-Star Fiends who had fled earlier flew out from the jungle, looking awkward.

They had originally fled because they didn't want to risk their lives, never expecting that the Four-Star Fiend mission team would actually hide a powerhouse like Lord Aier.

"Lord Aier..."

Aier swept a glance at the four of them, seemingly able to perceive in their eyes that they were blaming him for not revealing his strength sooner, causing them to lose face.

In the face of life and death, face is irrelevant.

But while alive, face is the most important thing.

At this moment, in the eyes of the other six Mid-God Fiends, the four of them were traitors.

"Since you chose to leave earlier, don't appear here now."

Regarding these four, although Aier understood their choice, he did not accept their return.

Everyone must be responsible for their own choices.

Aier had made his decision, and the others in the team naturally had no objections.

If anything, it was already surprising that Aier hadn't killed these four fleeing Mid-Gods.

On the road ahead, Aier's group encountered another ambush, which added a few more Divine Sparks to Aier's collection.

Upon arriving at Snow Wolf City and submitting the mission, Olga left Snow Wolf City directly.

The other Fiends also dispersed, while Aier and his group rented a small courtyard.

"Eric, does the Green Chamber of Commerce have enough Inkstone to purchase a Metal Lifeform?"

In the living room, Aier asked Eric directly.

The time spent flying on the road had already caused Aier to lose his fascination with flying.

Based on what he had learned during this time, Aier also knew that he was currently within the territory of Liang'an Prefecture on the Bifu Continent of Hell.

If they were to fly, it would take thousands of years for the Green Chamber of Commerce group to travel from Snow Wolf City to Liang'an Prefecture.

"Apologies, Lord Aier."

Eric gave a bitter smile: "Even if we sold all the goods we brought from Caeles City, it would only add up to a total of 123 million Inkstone."

It wasn't that the Green Chamber of Commerce couldn't earn more Inkstone, but rather that with their current capabilities, this was all they could manage.

Any more would be dangerous; they wouldn't be able to protect it.

Over a hundred million Inkstone would make even a Five-Star Fiend like Olga tempted.

"With just this much Inkstone, it's not even enough for a fraction of a Metal Lifeform."

A Metal Lifeform is also considered a special type of life.

However, because of their ability to transform at will, most Metal Lifeforms discovered are refined into simple-minded transportation tools for sale.

A single ordinary Metal Lifeform costs several billion Inkstone.

This price was far beyond what Eric could afford at the moment.

"Alright then..."

Aier let out a sigh.

He also knew that before they followed him, the Green Chamber of Commerce was only involved in small-time operations.

If they had truly produced enough Inkstone to purchase a Metal Lifeform, Aier would have had to consider whether they were hiding some major trouble behind them.

It wasn't that Aier couldn't handle it, but rather that Aier hated being deceived!

"In that case, Eric, go outside the city and find a few Saint Realm flying Magic Beasts. Ask them if they are willing to sign a contract with the caravan to serve as mounts."

"If they are willing, I can provide Demigod Divine Sparks and Mid-God Divine Sparks for them to refine."

"Yes, Lord Aier, I will go arrange it immediately."

Because it would take time for the few Saint Realm Magic Beasts to refine the Divine Sparks, Aier prepared to cultivate his second divine clone while in Snow Wolf City.

For his second divine clone, Aier chose the Wind Element!

Although his Earth Element divine clone had created short-range movement techniques like "Shrinking Inches into Feet," the speed of the Earth Element was still lacking for long-distance travel.

The Wind Element is the fastest among the four elements of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, and it could compensate for Aier's weakness.

In terms of attack and defense, Aier was confident that he ranked among the strongest below the Paragon level, so it made little difference whether he had the Fire Element or Water Element.

Therefore, after refining that Earth Element High-God Divine Spark, Aier placed a Wind Element Demigod Divine Spark into his Equipment Slot.

"Refine!"

As this Divine Spark transformed into two spheres of light—one cyan and one black—within Aier's soul space, he knew he would have to endure the same pain he had felt before.

"Hum—"

The Laws of the World descended, condensing a Wind Element Divine Spark that hovered above Aier's head.

After half of Aier's soul entered the Divine Spark, cyan Wind Element divine power condensed into Aier's divine body, manifesting a cyan robe over his form.

Once the Laws of the World dissipated, Aier's Wind Element divine clone merged into his original body.

In the time that followed, Aier refined over four hundred Amethyst to restore the souls of his original body and his Wind Element divine clone to their peak.

Within ten years, Eric and the others from the Chamber of Commerce witnessed Aier's Wind Element divine clone go from its inception to becoming a High-God.

Such a cultivation speed felt absurd, even to someone like Eric who had lived for tens of millions of years.

He knew of beings born as Divine Realm experts, but he had never heard of anyone who could comprehend the Laws and Profound Mysteries of an element and achieve the status of a High-God within ten years.

As for those few Saint Realm flying Magic Beasts, their feelings were even more complicated.

They had been stuck at the limit of the Saint Realm for millions of years, knowing this was their ceiling; to break through, they could only hope to obtain a Divine Spark.

This was the reason they were willing to serve as mounts for the Green Chamber of Commerce.

However, they never expected that before they had even fully refined the Divine Sparks they had obtained, they would witness the scene of Lord Aier's Wind Element divine clone cultivating to the level of a High-God.

"Sigh, as expected, the gap between people is even greater than the distance between heaven and earth..."

After letting out a few sighs, these flying Magic Beasts immediately closed their eyes and began to work hard at refining their Divine Sparks.

Aier did not care about the feelings of others.

Before gathering a sufficient number of Earth Element High-God Divine Sparks, Aier was prepared to refine Wind Element Mid-God Divine Sparks to carry out the fusion of Wind Element Laws and enhance the strength of his Wind Element divine clone.

In any case, before reaching the Paragon level, the Laws of the World would not descend, nor would it attract the attention of others.

In the blink of an eye, two hundred years passed.

"Eric, how is the divine power refinement going for Bauer and the others?"

On this day, after Aier absorbed the five Wind Element Laws and Profound Mysteries from his Equipment Slot and further increased the fusion level of his Wind Element Laws and Profound Mysteries, he asked Eric.

Refining a Demigod Divine Spark and a Mid-God Divine Spark did not require two hundred years.
