19: Chapter 19 Ghosts and Destruction

The Wind Cloud Mother is a very peculiar creature. It has a very gentle temperament, and other than its favorite meal, Balloon Algae, nothing can capture its attention; even its flight is sluggish and lazy.

Do not think it is a weak creature, however.

Ever since the Evolutionary Spirit covered the entire planet, the creatures of Taichu Star have undergone an essential evolution, and this change is showing an increasingly intense trend.

As a creature of the sky, the Wind Cloud Mother is naturally favored by Wind Spirits.

A large number of Wind Spirits gather on the Wind Cloud Mother, providing a powerful evolutionary force field.

Although the Wind Cloud Mother does not actively guide the Wind Spirits, their concentration still encourages it to develop powerful wind-based abilities; whipping up small storms is just a minor feat for it.

As the Planet Master of Taichu Star, Zhao Feng can control and influence any creature by relying on Modification Points; the Wind Cloud Mother and the Evolutionary Spirit are naturally no exception.

Even in the air filled with storms and cold, the area around Zhao Feng is warm as spring. Wind Spirits and Ice Spirits circle around him like children attached to their parents, creating a calm and peaceful micro-environment, making Zhao Feng feel as if he were in an air-conditioned room.

The Wind Cloud Mother flies slowly through the air, and Zhao Feng sits lazily on its vast, flat back, pulling out a treasure chest while idly enjoying the scenery below.

"You have opened a Random Treasure Chest."

"You have obtained Prohibition — Unique."

"Special Note: Prohibition, when you enter a new world, you can only use one System, with a maximum delay of one week."

"Damn it! How did I open this thing?" Zhao Feng cursed loudly.

It seems this treasure chest not only contains good things but also pits its owner against themselves.

Somewhere else, a figure sneered.

Zhao Feng has no way to deal with this situation, so he has to admire the scenery to comfort his wounded little heart.

The gradually rising mountain ridges are not as high as in later generations, only about a hundred meters or so, looking like small dirt mounds.

The mountains are lush green, mixed with the dark yellow of sand and soil. Some variegated, spherical fungi grow among the tall ferns, absorbing ample nutrients.

Occasionally, huge, massive insects crawl by slowly, completely unconcerned by the Wind Cloud Mother watching from above.

At this time, yellow sand is still the main color of the land; this is the paradise of giant insects. Countless giant insects thrive here; birth, growth, reproduction, and death—this is the main melody of the Giant Insect Age.

The violent weather patterns have no rules. As dark clouds gather rapidly in the sky, a rainstorm falls without suspense. Lightning flashes and thunder rumbles; the climate of the primitive era is filled with a violent atmosphere.

Zhao Feng directs the Wind Cloud Mother to land to avoid any undeserved disaster.

The rain comes quickly and leaves just as quickly.

The air after the thunderstorm is exceptionally fresh. A rainbow hangs far away in the horizon, looking exceptionally beautiful.

With the rising of the giant moon—Taishi Planet—a dreamlike atmosphere appears on the land.

The yellow sand and green trees visible everywhere during the day can only be seen as faint outlines.

Replacing them is a kind of eerie green light. Although these light spots do not look dense, when viewed from the air, they are packed together, seemingly permeating the entire land.

Before this, Zhao Feng had never noticed that the night looked like this; it seems this is a situation that has only recently occurred.

Zhao Feng subconsciously drives the Wind Cloud Mother, quickly arriving before a cluster of light spots.

This cluster of light is eerie green but full of luster, like a glowing emerald, filled with an unpredictable, mysterious aura.

Zhao Feng quickly calls upon the System to perceive the light spots in front of him; as long as it is matter from Taichu Star, Zhao Feng can find its information through the System.

Spirit: Soul matter condensed after the death of Taichu Star creatures due to the Evolutionary Spirit, possessing certain biological characteristics.

Note: This is a new type of creature that will completely disappear over time and re-merge into the planetary System.

"Spirit, is this a ghost? Could it be that Reincarnation will appear on Taichu Star in the future?" Zhao Feng feels an inexplicable joy in his heart; Taichu Star seems to be becoming more and more complete.

The Wind Cloud Mother cannot produce the gas needed to propel flight at night, so it can only rely on the large amount of gas in its body to float in the air. Therefore, they generally rest during the day and are active at night, only using Wind Spirits to escape when they encounter danger.

While the Wind Cloud Mother rests, Zhao Feng also takes the time to begin his own Cultivation.

Long-term meditation and Qi training have allowed Zhao Feng to go from having numerous thoughts before to now having a mind free of thoughts, where the empty room glows white.

Amidst the endless white light, the Innate Void True Light emitted from the Niwan shines upon the Dantian. Wisps of warm Qi appear out of nothingness, just like that, in the Dantian.

Although the Qi in the Dantian is weak, it is real. Since the last breakthrough of the Jiaji, a surging flow of Qi has accumulated in the Dantian, ready to be unleashed.

These multicolored wisps of Qi wander in the Dantian, constantly growing and solidifying. From an invisible wisp, it has become a glowing orb emitting a faint light.

The Dao De Jing says, existence and non-existence give birth to each other. Human Cultivation comes from observing nature. Under the influence of the Innate Void True Light in his visualization, something is created from nothing in the Dantian, and the first wisp of Qi finally sprouts from the initial void airflow.

With the first, there will be a second.

It is evident that in the future, this wisp of Qi will eventually have endless possibilities.

After nurturing the Qi for a while longer, Zhao Feng opens his eyes in pleasant surprise; when the Qi flow is sufficient, he will be able to break through the Jiaji, open the Ren and Du meridians, and achieve a smooth Small Circulation.

Unknowingly, it is already deep into the night. The moonlight is like water, spilling onto the earth.

The moon of Taichu Star is a giant planet even larger than Taichu Star itself, so the reflected sunlight is naturally dozens of times greater than that of Earth. Although there is no ultraviolet light and the light is not so scorching and intense, the earth is still as bright as day.

Huge insect beasts fight and kill in the dim jungle and sandy land, and from time to time, tragic hisses and cries are heard. But tonight seems different from the past; these screams are truly extraordinary.

As if suffering ten thousand tortures before death, the screams of the insect beasts are heart-wrenching.

Zhao Feng is greatly puzzled; could some powerful fierce beast have appeared on this Taichu Star? But the System has not given any notification about this!

It is still dark, and the Wind Cloud Mother cannot move forward, so even though Zhao Feng is extremely curious, he has to wait until dawn to investigate further.

Sleeping until dawn, Zhao Feng rubs his sleepy eyes and drives the Wind Cloud Mother to fly toward the place where the screams occurred last night.

Accompanied by the golden sunlight, Zhao Feng sees a patch of darkness.

That is an indescribable tragedy!

The earth is scorched black; whether it is living or inanimate matter, it presents a deathly luster, as if it has lost all aura of existence! Faintly, one can see wisps of black fog dissipating. The scorched black on the ground is gradually decreasing, turning into almost invisible particles and slowly disappearing!

The earth presents a dull, scorched black, and the moisture within seems to have been completely evaporated. Some small insects lurking in the soil could not escape the disaster either, completely losing their vitality.

This area was originally rich in vegetation, with many animals breeding here. But now they have all turned into fragmented corpses; they must have been slaughtered by some fierce beast using exceptionally violent means!

Zhao Feng dares not be careless; he lets the Wind Cloud Mother rise higher, and then opens the System.
