A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 1856 - 515 Cloud Walking and the Four Symbols Dao

...

Since the Blood Moon Strike event,

the nights in Aindor had become exceptionally dark—

Compared to the moon before,

the split new moon was far inferior in both size and luminosity.

The extra stars brought on by the Great Tear were hard to compensate for the loss of moonlight.

This resulted in the nightfall in Aindor,

which instantly turned the world between heaven and earth a dull torpor.

This was especially evident in the Helen Mountains, the highest average altitude in Aindor.

At times, even though the night sky above would twinkle with stars,

a faint wisp of cloud flying by would plunge the land into deep gloom.

Matthew, in raven form, agilely weaved through the layers of sky wind.

He searched among the mountains, sensing their pulse and breath.

"Still above."

Following his powerful insight,

he flew upwards, tracing the peak that stood like a sword's scabbard among the mountains, higher and higher.

Later on,

the raven's form could no longer support him.

Matthew first transformed into the Winged Dragon Wind God,

and finally into a silver dragon,

which allowed him to continue the ascending trend.

In the blink of an eye,

he had reached an altitude of around fifteen thousand meters!

The air here was so thin it seemed non-existent; the silver dragon gently flapped its wings, occasionally dusting a layer of frost!

"At this height, I almost reached the Eternal Barrier before."

"Now, there's still a lot of room to ascend."

Matthew looked up, silently observing the mountain that continued to climb.

After the Great Tear,

the terrain of Aindor had changed significantly, and the collapse of the Eternal Barrier had opened up the sky's limit.

At the same time,

the fusion of other demiplanes also meant many places in the material world acquired new terrain features.

Take for example the peak in front of Matthew,

he had not seen this slender, sky-reaching dangerous peak before when he visited the Helen Mountains; it must have emerged after the fusion of Secondary Planes.

The silver dragon shook its tail, continuing upwards.

Around eighteen thousand meters,

Matthew slowed his flight speed.

It was at this place that he sensed the person he was looking for!

He raised his head to look.

This place was far above the clouds, so the view was quite clear.

The stars encircled the mountain waist overhead,

and the pillar-like peak was gradually reaching the summit.

Not far away,

a tiny black dot was sitting in mid-air; Matthew noticed there was a very faint white cloud beneath him.

Before Matthew could approach,

the black dot rushed towards him at high speed.

With every step he took, the white cloud would dissipate, before reappearing where his next foot was to land.

And so it repeated.

With a few leaps, the shadow reached Matthew!

Matthew reverted from his silver dragon form.

The shadow, facing the starlight, also revealed its true face—

It was an old man dressed in simple monk's robes, with white hair and beard.

Cloud Walking Monk.

"Stepping Without Trace" and "Cloud Walking",

Matthew recognized the old man's identity and the abilities he had just used to run through the sky.

The Cloud Walking Monk is an advanced class of Monks.

They are the guardians of the mountains, seekers of the skies, and defenders of the Longevity Domain.

The signature ability of the Cloud Walking Monk is "Mountain Immortality".

Once achieved,

their appearance would not age, and their physical functions would not decline.

They would breakthrough the limits of their lifespan and thus be able to explore deeper mysteries between heaven and earth.

However, as far as Matthew knew,

The career of the Cloud Walking Monk still had many flaws.

For example, their immortality was not truly undying but merely an extended longevity; if they were injured by someone, or injected with negative energy, Eroding Energy, etc., it could cause the internal cycles to collapse, thereby losing the ability for immortality.

Besides,

this legendary advancement had relatively weak combat abilities, and it was inconvenient to leave the mountain or sky environment; once they did, their already fragile combat effectiveness would be significantly diminished...

By comparison,

the training and advancement of Cloud Walking Monk were extremely strict.

Therefore, even those obsessed with the idea of immortality rarely considered this legendary advancement of Monks—

They would rather consider turning themselves into a Lich!

In just a moment,

all these thoughts flashed through Matthew's mind.

He was about to greet the other,

but the old man gave him a slight smile, showing a hint of apology, and then made a gesture asking for silence.

Matthew looked up again.

Immediately,

he noticed at about three hundred meters above his head, on the summit of this lone peak, two tiny figures were on standby.

The two were also dressed as Monks.

Unlike the old man,

their eyes were covered with thick cloth, their nostrils pinched with wooden clamps, and their ears seemed to be sealed.

The old man made a few gestures quietly.

Matthew caught on—

The Cloud Walking Monk elder was overseeing a certain trial for those two young Monks!

It seemed to be a critical moment.

One of the Monks appeared not to have achieved a Mixed Element Body; he was leaning against a massive boulder, shivering severely.

Seeing this, Matthew promptly moved to one side, indicating for them to continue.

The old man nodded in appreciation.

Then,

he once again performed the art of "Cloud Walking", reaching the side of the two young Monks.

Not long after,

the elder led that trembling Monk to the edge of a cliff.

The former set up a straight rope at the edge of the cliff.

The other end of the rope was held in his palm.

Below was the chilling sky wind and the bottomless cloud layer.

The Monk took one foot off the rock, stepping onto the rope, and in an instant, the rope swayed gently.
