Chapter 38. Wind

The fact that he had died was enough to bring his anger to surface. When he got stronger he was going to make sure to make them pay. He set himself 200 years before he reigned the immortal realm.

In the span of that range, the entirety of existence was going to shake under him. As if to attest to his promise, there was a slight shake. In that moment, the meridian he had struggled to fill instantly filled. That was when the sweet voice of Sarah and a screen appeared infront of his visage.

Alaric what shocked by the changes. He could only shake his head. All this time he had the Blood Essence of Meryl. He had not for once felt it. Was this his body or a foreigner's?

What was fun was that one day he could wield all elements. Though, he knew that it was going to be easy for him to awaken the wind element, awakening the rest was not going to be that easy.

Well, that did not even dampen his mood. The fact he could wield all elements was already good news! Well he was going to shock everyone when he revealed he could wield all the elements. But, that was going to be his trump card.

He could only smile wider as he realized that he had gained one extra trump card! Even his friends were going to take long before they found put.

He also felt the new filled meridian. It was funny how till then he had not filled a single meridian on his own. Well, he could only thank the universe for being very generous to him.

"How long has it been since I started cultivating?" Alaric asked but he swallowed hard when he heard the time.

Reward- Immortal Grade Speed cultivation technique. Technique that can be used with both lightning and wind element. Time limit, two months. If completed later no reward.

Alaric looked at the reward and his eyes shone. This was going to be worth it. There were very few high grade techniques. To think that Sarah would reward him an Immortal Grade technique for such a mission...

The fun part of this technique was the fact that it could be used for both wind and lightning. Wind was fast and was ranked second to lightning. Though lightning was the fastest if well cultivated, light was ranked fastest overall followed by space.

The immortal technique Alaric was to receive would make his lightning reach and exceed the speed of light. Alaric was still thinking about the elements when he was suddenly struck.

Were light, lightning, wind and space not the fastest elements? Did he not have affinity to wield all of them? Where did that leave him? He was going to be invincible! He could only grin wider as he fell deep in thoughts.

It was easier said than done though. He took twelve years to awaken his lightning element and he had only awakened the silver lightning. How long was it going to take him to awaken all these elements?

[ANSWER]- Subject can awaken the elements by gaining the affinity natural through patience. It would take 96 years for you to awaken all these elements if you waited.

-Second way which is the most efficient is gaining the blood essence of a said element. This will help you gain awareness of the element and you can awaken it after integrating it into your blood.

-The third way is with the treasures. Treasures are elemental affiliated. Using these treasure, you can gain the affinity. These treasure may include fruits that contain the elemental essence.

Some stones may have the energy and you may use them. It usually dangerous to use stone such as origin stones to draw wnergy from. They contain unfiltered energy and it can destroy your meridians and even kill you. This is why they are not used for cultivation.

-The fourth way is difficult. Its almost the same as treasures. You are supposed to find naturally formed core in areas with high concentration of the said element. You can use this core to gain the ability to awaken the elements.

Sarah's voive died down and again Alaric was left deep in thoughts. It was obvious that he was not going to wait for 96 years to awaken all elements. Treasure were the best shot at this one. It was not like he could find people to give him their blood essence, right?

He could only thank Meryl for her help. He was going to find her and thank her. He knew exactly how difficult it was to get a drop of Blood Essence from one's body. Even what was worse was the after effect. One would remain weak for almost a month before they gained their full strength. That was enough for the enemy to act.

He only had the two last options. Elemental cores were not easy to find. It all depended on one's luck. Well it was early for him to start thinking about beast core when he had not seen a single treasure in his life.

Origin stones could not be considered as treasures for he could not use them for cultivation. It was then that Sarah's voice came to him.

[...] Subject can cultivate for one week and manage to awaken the wind element.

Alaric who had been thinking of leaving the cultivation room steeled his mind. If he could extend for one whole week, then his tramp card would be officially available.

He cleared his mind and fell into deep state of cultivation. One thing he noted was that he did it in an instant. It usually took him almost thirty minutes to get into that state. If people were to here that he could enter into meditation with a thought, they would call him a bluffer.

Alaric stirred his every part of his body until he found the location of the blood essence. How could he have known that it was right on top of his heart. He pulled it out of his body and it floated infront of him above his head.

He was lucky that Meryl was a First Grade Transcendent beast. Well the grade only made it difficult to integrate it into his bloodline. As he tried to integrate it, he could feel his blood changing in form. It was like it was getting thicker.

He could also feel himself acquiring the beast qualities. He could not have felt it before but now, could feel his skin slightly harden. He continued with the integration process and after a while he could feel something stir inside his bloodline...

There was some changes. He could feel something snap inside him. Like when cracking one's fingers. He could now see the colour of his Bloodline. It was like a large orb floating on an empty space. It's colour was silver-like. He guessed that the Origin Source and Bloodline took the colour of one's element.

What was changing was that he could see his Bloodline changing one of its half to yellow. He had awakened the wind element! Well it could be said that it was awakened but one could only say that it was faint. The screen appeared infront of him and Sarah's voice spoke.
