Chapter 155: Boundless Sky Wind, Spirit Gathering Profound Banner
[Hidden Sign-In Node Activated: The Heart of Stormveil.]
[Would you like to sign in?]
Rhain’s heart rate spiked.
A Hidden Sign-In Node.
He had only encountered this once before — deep within the Hollow Realm, where the System had rewarded him with the Heaven-Grade Eyes of Truth.
Hidden nodes were fundamentally different from ordinary Location Sign-Ins.
They were exceedingly rare, triggered only by unique spatial anomalies, and their rewards were invariably extraordinary.
Without a fraction of hesitation, Rhain confirmed.
’Sign in.’
[Hidden Sign-In Successful!]
[Congratulations! You have received the Heaven-Grade Mystic Force: Boundless Sky Wind.]
[Detailed information has been transmitted to the host’s consciousness.]
Heaven-Grade!
It was the exact same tier as his Red Tribulations Heavenly Flame and his Eyes of Truth.
Both of those anomalous existences had already allowed Rhain to completely overturn the Outer Frontier and reduce a three-century-old clan to ash.
And now, a third Heaven-Grade power had fallen into his hands.
Rhain stood motionless at the railing, his outward expression revealing nothing as the detailed description of the Boundless Sky Wind burned itself into his memory.
His mind rapidly dissected the first ability.
Wind Control and Flight.
By manipulating the Boundless Sky Wind, he could control the air currents to achieve true, unrestrained flight.
Rhain’s breathing paused momentarily. freeweɓnovel.cøm
In this world, true flight was a supreme privilege strictly reserved for the legendary Domain Master Realm experts.
Even the Core Formation titans like Cassian or Vulcan could only leap great distances or rely on flying beasts like Kiki.
But now? He, a cultivator merely at the Essence Condensation Realm, could freely soar through the skies on his own power!
He now had the absolute power to engage or disengage in battles at will against any opponent below the Domain Master Realm.
This ability alone was an unfathomable trump card.
But as Rhain continued to read through the integration knowledge, his excitement only grew deeper and deeper.
Second ability was speed enhancement.
By enveloping his body in the Boundless Sky Wind, his speed would multiply exponentially.
If he combined the Boundless Sky Wind with his Flashing Thunder Boots and his Shadow Flicker Step...
No Core Formation Realm expert in existence would ever be able to catch even his shadow.
Then he read the third ability.
Invisible Wind Blades.
He could condense the surrounding air into razor-sharp blades.
Because they were formed purely of the wind, they had no physical form, made absolutely no sound, and emitted zero essence fluctuations.
They were entirely undetectable.
Rhain imagined the scenario perfectly in his mind.
An arrogant enemy standing before him, aggressively brandishing his weapon and preparing to launch a devastating ultimate martial art... and Rhain would simply decapitate them on the spot.
The opponent’s head simply slide cleanly off their neck in the dirt before their brain could even begin to process how they died!
For a brief second, Rhain felt an overwhelming urge to just grab a random opponent from anywhere to test the power of invisible blades on the spot.
He took a quiet breath.
’Calm down, it’s not the time yet. Perhaps, there will be an opportunity in the future.’
He pushed the urge down and focused on the fourth power.
Sensory Extension.
By infusing his vast Spiritual Sense into the Boundless Sky Wind, Rhain could extend his awareness through the wind itself.
He would no longer be limited to a fixed radius.
Wherever air currents flowed in the radius of several miles, his perception would follow.
It was an omnipresent radar.
Eavesdropping, scouting, and tracking would become as effortless as breathing.
Lastly, the fifth ability of this Heaven-Grade reward.
Wind Armor.
An undetectable barrier of compressed wind that would surround his body.
It would heavily deflect and mitigate enemy attacks before they could even scratch his Epic-Grade Black Gold Armour, let alone touch his Abyssal Sovereign Physique.
’What a terrifying set of skills.’
He muttered his silent praise and leaned back against the crimson railing of the skiff.
It was, without exaggeration, the single most versatile reward the System had ever given him.
[Item cannot be stored in the system space. Would the host like to integrate the Boundless Sky Wind?]
Rhain’s gaze shifted subtly, sweeping across the crowded deck.
For a brief moment, Rhain hesitated.
If the integration caused any visible fluctuation in his aura, or triggered an involuntary release of wind-attribute essence, every expert on this deck would notice immediately.
But then he recalled his previous experiences.
When he had integrated the Eyes of Truth, and the Red Tribulations Heavenly Flame back in the Hollow Realm, there had been no external manifestation whatsoever.
The process had been entirely internal.
Perhaps, if it were someone else, it might have been a problem for them, but Rhain had Abyssal Sovereign Physique.
Abyssal Sovereign Physique’s very nature was to devour and contain.
A Heaven-Grade wind force would be no different.
Rhain’s hesitation dissolved.
’Integrate.’
[Integration commencing.]
A sudden, invisible torrent of pure wind-attribute essence flooded into Rhain’s meridians.
It was nothing like the warm sensation of the Heavenly Flame or the gentle stream of the Eyes of Truth.
This was the sensation of standing in the eye of an infinite hurricane.
Within his dantian, the void-like black hole of the Abyssal Sovereign Physique opened wide and swallowed the incoming wind essence in one gulp.
[Integration complete.]
[Heaven-Grade Mystic Force: Boundless Sky Wind has been successfully fused with the host’s body.]
The integration was utterly undetectable.
Not a single strand of Rhain’s dark hair moved out of place.
Whoosh—!
A sudden gust of wind swept across the crimson deck of the skiff.
Strangely, it completely bypassed the other disciples, spiraling specifically around Rhain and Seris.
The invisible current fluttered Rhain’s dark robes and sent Seris’s stunning silver-blue hair dancing beautifully in the air.
And then, just as quickly as it had appeared, the wind dissipated, leaving no trace behind.
Not far from them, Fabian’s brow furrowed slightly.
He abruptly turned his head, his sharp eyes scanning the deck and the surrounding airspace.
"What was that sudden strange feeling...?" Fabian muttered to himself, his gaze lingering on the spot where Rhain and Seris stood.
But as he probed the area with his Spiritual Sense, he found nothing.
Fabian slowly shook his head, releasing a breath.
’I must be overthinking things. It is merely the high-altitude winds of the Inner Province,’ he reasoned, dismissing the anomaly entirely.
He turned his attention back to the front of the skiff and raised his hand, pointing a finger directly toward the horizon.
"Look over there!" Fabian’s voice rolled across the deck, snapping the awestruck Outer Frontier geniuses out of their daze. "We have arrived at Stormveil Academy!"
Rhain, Seris, and every single person on board immediately looked forward.
As the Crimson Bird Skiff pierced through a dense layer of shimmering, rainbow-colored clouds, they finally saw Stormveil Academy.
The Academy lay sprawled across a vast expanse of land, its towering walls forming a gargantuan circle, bearing the majesty of an entity that had survived for a thousand years.
Within those massive circular borders lay towering buildings.
At the very heart of the Academy, a single, impossibly tall tower rose above everything else. Even from this distance, an unfathomably imposing aura could be felt from that tower.
But the true marvel of the Academy was not just what lay on the ground.
Suspended high above the sprawling terrestrial campus were a few pavilions floating freely like divine islands in the air.
Breathtaking waterfalls of pure, condensed spiritual liquid cascaded from the floating landmasses, plunging thousands of feet into a massive, crystal-clear lake below.
Compared to this celestial domain, the grandest estates of Mirravele City looked like nothing more than dilapidated mud huts.
Every outer frontier genius was struck dumb by the scene before them, feeling like an insignificant ant staring up at a divine palace.
"This... this is where we will cultivate?" Liana whispered, entirely spellbound.
Swoosh—!
The Crimson Bird Skiff descended rapidly, gliding over the crystalline lake before finally coming to a smooth halt above a sprawling plaza.
"Disembark," Fabian commanded.
One by one, the Inner Palace disciples leaped gracefully from the deck, followed closely by the nervous but excited Outer Frontier geniuses.
Rhain held Seris’s hand, and together, they stepped lightly down onto the pristine jade tiles of the academy grounds.
Just then, the voice of the system rang in his mind once again.
[Ding!]
[Location Sign-In detected: Stormveil Academy.]
[Would you like to sign in?]
"Sign in.’ Rhain answered in his mind.
[Location Sign-In Successful!]
[Congratulations! You have received the Mystic-Grade Artifact: Spirit Gathering Profound Banner.]
[Item automatically sent to System Inventory.]
The Spirit Gathering Profound Banner was an array-type artifact.
Once planted into the ground, it would forcefully draw, compress, and purify the essence from a staggering radius of fifty miles, funneling it entirely into the area directly surrounding the banner.
Rhain’s dark grey eyes flashed with a brilliant light.
Fifty miles.
In this essence rich heaven of Inner Province—compressing the surrounding essence of a fifty-mile radius into a single location would create a literal cultivation paradise.
Rhain perfectly concealed his satisfaction and turned his attention back to the surroundings.
At the center of the plaza, Fabian stood before the colossal Crimson Bird Skiff.
Hummm—!
The massive Crimson Bird Skiff emitted a blinding crimson glow.
In the blink of an eye, the towering ship condensed into a tiny streak of red light and shot directly into the spatial ring on Fabian’s finger.
After finishing his work, Fabian turned his imposing gaze toward the Stormveil Academy disciples.
