This Magic Beast possessed a faint phoenix bloodline, and its flying speed was extremely fast.
Since the "Purple Cloud Wings" were taken from it, they had inherited its speed.
Su Yun was only a Five-star Dou Zhe right now. If he wanted to activate them at full strength, he would inevitably exhaust his Dou Qi in a short time.
But that was enough. The Purple Cloud Wings' short burst of extreme speed, coupled with the ability to instantly enter the System Space...
It ensured that the System Space would not be discovered, while also eliminating the risk of someone camping the spot where he disappeared.
He had worried about this before.
The System Space was a good life-saving measure, but if he used it too often, information would leak sooner or later, and someone would find a way to target it.
The arrival of the Purple Cloud Wings had come at just the right time to ease such concerns.
The strongest in the Jia Ma Empire were merely Dou Emperors, and the Purple Cloud Wings at full speed were even faster than a Dou Wang.
As long as it was not a Dou Emperor hunting him down, he could rely on the Purple Cloud Wings and the System Space to escape.
Had no one seen it? In the Tagor Desert, Xiao Yan, with only the cultivation of a Dou Master, could rely on the Purple Cloud Wings to compete in speed with three Dou Wangs.
And after being enhanced by Medicine Elder and pushing them at full strength, only Yun Yun, a wind-attribute Dou Emperor using a Movement Dou Technique, had been able to catch up.
Of course, if an overpowered Dou Zong like Yun Shan appeared, he could only find some cover, then enter the System Space directly.
Su Yun gathered his thoughts and no longer immersed himself in how formidable the Purple Cloud Wings were.
He moved both palms onto the scroll, lightly pressing down on the soft wings, and took a deep breath.
Not long after his palms touched the wings, the violent Eagle Soul within suddenly let out a sharp cry that made the soul tremble. The cry passed through the scroll, then traveled along Su Yun's arms, striking at his brain like a drill with all its might.
Su Yun's entire body suddenly trembled, and his face turned several shades paler out of nowhere.
Su Yun gritted his teeth and endured, guarding his mind.
He had come from Blue Star just like Xiao Yan, and his soul was naturally powerful. If Xiao Yan could do it, there was no reason he could not.
He controlled his Soul Power to resist the Eagle Soul's assault.
Finally, after nearly twenty minutes, the Eagle Soul dissipated.
"Phew...
A Fifth Tier Remnant Soul is terrifying indeed!"
Su Yun sighed.
After resting briefly, he touched the eagle wings with both palms again.
This time, the Eagle Soul had already dissipated, and he was not attacked again.
Su Yun circulated the Dou Qi in his body slowly along the route described on the scroll.
A moment later, two thin strands of purple-black light burrowed into Su Yun's body and moved along his meridians. When they reached the meridians at his spine, they immediately stopped, then tugged at the meridians and drew out two extremely thin branch meridians.
These two branch meridians extended from the main trunk, and only slowly stopped once they reached his spine.
At Su Yun's back, a pair of palm-sized black eagle-wing tattoos appeared out of thin air.
"Success!" Su Yun said in delight.
Although the process was painful, the result was pleasing.
Su Yun circulated his Dou Qi through the two split branch meridians.
Receiving the transmission of Dou Qi, the pitch-black tattoos immediately released a faint purple glow. In the end, they actually turned into solid wings, and the area of the black eagle wings expanded from palm-sized to around half a foot.
Turning his head to look at the Purple Cloud Wings that had appeared behind him, Su Yun's heart filled with satisfaction.
Su Yun put away the Purple Cloud Wings and did not continue trying them out. After tidying himself up briefly, he returned to the inn. Su Yun sat cross-legged on the bed and began cultivating.
Now was not the time to rest. The strength of a Five-star Dou Zhe was still far from enough.
"Awesome!"
Su Yun jumped off the bed, twisted his neck, and a crisp series of bone cracks rang out.
He lightly clenched his palm, and a full sense of power made the corners of Su Yun's mouth lift in joy.
He had broken through!
"Six-star Dou Zhe."
Su Yun raised his head and laughed softly.
Dou Qi cultivation was not easy. He had not obtained an especially powerful Cheat/System, so he could only advance one step at a time.
Explosive growth from playing a role or signing in had nothing to do with him.
Taking another step forward after reaching a high point was the norm.
Su Yun restrained his joy and once again sorted through his gains.
He did not plan to cultivate the Dou Technique "Mad Lion's Roar." Medicine Elder had collected many Dou Techniques, and he was not lacking this one.
Su Yun turned his gaze to the "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture." This one, however, could help him.
Medicine Elder was indeed experienced and knowledgeable. In terms of strange tales, unusual matters, and general knowledge of the continent, Medicine Elder was absolutely more than a cut above this "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture."
Medicine Elder was an indecent old man, and could even be called an old pervert, but as a person, he could be considered open and upright. He had not delved deeply into poison.
Add to that his origins in the Yao Clan. His starting point had not been low, and even when he was expelled from the Yao Clan, he already had the strength of a Three-star Dou Master. After that, he advanced triumphantly all the way, his cultivation rising extremely fast.
He had studied low-end poisons even less. Asking him to detoxify was fine, but to prepare low-level poisons...
That was asking too much.
Su Yun had no background whatsoever. He did not think of himself as a bad person, but he also did not want to be a good person.
Good people did not live long!
Su Yun tapped the "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture" with his mind, then tapped himself.
"System, fuse."
"Ding, fusible option detected."
"Ding, one First Tier Magic Core required. Fuse?"
"Fuse."
The moment Su Yun said fuse, a First Tier Magic Core in the System Warehouse vanished, and a profound, mysterious feeling surged into Su Yun's heart.
In just a short moment, the contents of the "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture" were completely mastered by Su Yun.
Su Yun's development of the system grew deeper with time.
This system, though simple in function, also contained infinite possibilities.
How much use it could be depended entirely on how the user used it.
This newly discovered method could also be used on Dou Techniques, but the Magic Cores it consumed would not be so simple.
Unranked miscellaneous books consumed a First Tier Magic Core.
Yellow Tier Low Grade and Middle Grade consumed a First Tier Magic Core.
Yellow Tier High Grade consumed a Second Tier Magic Core.
Mysterious Tier Low Grade and Middle Grade consumed a Third Tier Magic Core.
Mysterious Rank High Grade consumed a Fourth Tier Magic Core.
Earth Tier Low Grade and Middle Grade consumed a Fifth Tier Magic Core.
As for anything higher, he did not know.
Earth Tier Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques were truly hard to come by. This could be seen in the original work when Medicine Elder had Xiao Yan choose between an Earth Tier Low Grade cultivation method and the "Flame Mantra."
Earth Tier Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques were extremely rare even in the Central Plains.
When Su Yun discovered this use, he was ecstatic for a while, but when he saw that a Mysterious Rank High Grade Dou Technique required a Fourth Tier Magic Core, he nearly coughed blood.
Poor Su Yun had only cultivated "Eight Extremities Collapse" to the level of two layers of Hidden Force so far.
But this was already quite good.
"Eight Extremities Collapse" was truly special. Just the fierce explosive power on the surface could compare with a Mysterious Tier Middle Grade Dou Technique.
This had also been shown in the original work.
When Xiao Yan and Liu Xi met for the first time, Jialie Ao challenged Xiao Yan in order to stand up for himself. At the time, Xiao Yan had already cast off his reputation as trash, and with Medicine Elder's help, his cultivation had greatly improved. Liu Xi and Jialie Ao also coveted Xiao Xun'er greatly.
Xiao Yan naturally accepted the challenge, and they began fighting on the spot.
Jialie Ao's talent was lacking, but he was slightly older; Xiao Yan, meanwhile, had extraordinary talent and was the child of destiny.
By coincidence, both of them were Three-star Dou Zhes. At that time, Xiao Yan had not yet trained the Hidden Force of "Eight Extremities Collapse," and he only used its surface explosive power to clash head-on with Jialie Ao's Mysterious Tier Low Grade Dou Technique, yet he still fought and won.
What was even more unbelievable was that at the time, Xiao Yan's "Flame Mantra" had not evolved even once, and was the lowest Yellow Tier Low Grade.
Meanwhile, what Jialie Ao cultivated was the Mysterious Rank High Grade "Wind Scroll Technique," and the "Green Wind Swirling Fist" he used was a Mysterious Tier Low Grade Dou Technique matched with the "Wind Scroll Technique."
Dou Techniques that matched a cultivation method were usually much stronger than other Dou Techniques of the same level. Jialie Ao cultivated the "Wind Scroll Technique" and used the "Green Wind Swirling Fist"; its power had not reached Mysterious Tier Middle Grade, but it was definitely stronger than Mysterious Tier Low Grade.
The "Flame Mantra" also had the trait of fighting above its rank, but at that time, the "Flame Mantra" was merely Yellow Tier Low Grade, at most comparable to Yellow Rank Middle Grade, far inferior to Mysterious Rank High Grade.
In a fight at the same level, Xiao Yan could still win while disadvantaged in cultivation method. The reason lay in "Eight Extremities Collapse."
Even "Eight Extremities Collapse" with only its surface explosive power was comparable in might to a Mysterious Tier Middle Grade Dou Technique, and might even surpass it somewhat.
At the very least, it was comparable to a Mysterious Tier Middle Grade Dou Technique matched with a cultivation method.
And as long as one trained one layer of Hidden Force, it was worthy of being called a Mysterious Rank High Grade Dou Technique.
As for the introduction saying it was comparable to an Earth Tier Low Grade Dou Technique, that required all eight layers to be stacked.
Earth Tier was not something one could surpass just by saying so. That was already another level.
