Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 249 Above the Cloud Realm
Consuming the fruit of the vow brings a permanent boost.

Of course, you can also use the Oath Fruit to do some special things, such as eating seeds.

"Thank you then." Jiang Yuan accepted the oath fruit without hesitation.

He didn't plan to go any further; he would stay here at the Oath Tree, cultivating while waiting for the Feather Clan's grand ceremony.

………………

………………

Twenty days passed quickly, during which two more gusts of wind blew, each lasting four or five days.

Jiang Yuan has already incorporated all the plants in the Qinling Mountains into the plant consciousness network.

The weak achieve collective consciousness.

A strong sense of individual achievement.

With the feedback from the massive number of plants, Jiangyuan's flora has reached the advanced level two.

The pace of advancement has begun to slow.

To speed things up, we need to visit other plant habitats.

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo"

A sudden gust of wind arose, and Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

The wind is blowing again.

This gust of wind is much fiercer than any other gust of wind ever!
"Plop plop～～～～～!!"

The sound of flapping wings could be heard.

The Feather Clan Grand Ceremony has begun!

Looking out over the river, the clouds beneath his feet were already covered with all sorts of colorful wings, densely adorning the sky!

His current altitude has surpassed the starting point of many Feathered Demons. Many Monarch-level Feathered Demons flew to higher cloud realms through the ancient trees such as the Oath Tree in the Azure Wood Cloud Layer.

"Those with wings should all be considered Winged Clan, right?" Jiang Yuan stroked his chin, a thought stirring in his mind.

"Austin, there's work to be done."

In the sixth level of the underworld, Austin was sleeping with his head resting on the earth when he suddenly heard Jiang Yuan's voice.

Immediately afterwards, a crack appeared in front of it, large enough for it to pass through.

Austin immediately crawled inside: "My lord, I'm here!"

The enormous body of the dragon appeared in the sky above Baiba Mountain.

Its presence caused the entire swirling wind to pause briefly, only to be followed by an even stronger swirling wind.

"Lie!!!!!"

Above the Cloud Realm, the Feather Emperor set his sights on Austin.

The Feather Emperor is replaced every few years. Apart from the first Feather Emperor who set the rules, all of them are monarch-level Feather Demons.

Therefore, when a true dragon of imperial rank appeared in Baiba Mountain, the Feather Emperor had no choice but to focus his attention on it.

"My lord!"

Austin lowered his head and let Jiang Yuan step on him.

“Fly upwards, to the highest point,” Jiang Yuan said.

"As ordered!"

Austin carried out Jiang Yuan's orders without asking why, and with a gentle flap of his huge dragon wings, the airflow below instantly formed a vortex storm, propelling it into the sky!

The howling wind posed no obstacle to Austin's dragon form; on the contrary, it helped it fly upwards.

The perspective rises rapidly.

The majestic Qinling Mountains become a ravine at your feet, with the clouds seemingly within reach.

Jiang Yuan has already experienced this kind of altitude.

At an altitude of 100,000 meters, it is much farther than the cloud layer!
Suddenly, Austin plunged into the clouds supported by ancient trees, where the biting cold wind became warm.

All around were ancient tree branches and drifting white clouds that resembled a celestial palace.

This is already a very high level; many Feather Emperors have only reached this level.

The Feather Emperor doesn't necessarily have to reach the highest level.

Instead, the goal is to be the one who flies the highest during this Feather Clan Grand Ceremony.

Some people may wonder, wouldn't this mean that the Feather Emperor could be re-elected many times?

That's not actually the case, because the previous Feather Emperor would never participate in the Feather Clan's grand ceremony to select the next Feather Emperor.

Each Feather Emperor either flew to a higher sacred waterfall or slept eternally in the cloud realm.

“My lord, shall we continue upwards?” Austin asked.

It sensed a pressure from the wind.

Higher up, there are definitely emperor-level beings, and this very wind was likely stirred up by one of them. "Keep going up," Jiang Yuan said calmly.

Austin raised its head and carried Jiang Yuan on its way to the higher sacred waterfall.

Further up, the clouds become more numerous, while the branches become fewer.

In the end, it completely became a world in the clouds.

We have reached the top of the Cloud Realm.

Austin didn't stop, and broke through the cloud layer in one go, arriving at an even higher layer.

In an instant, the white clouds disappeared.

Everything suddenly becomes clear!
There were no more clouds overhead, only an endless starry sky.

Not far away, white clouds churned endlessly, resembling a towering waterfall cascading down.

"Is this the Feather Clan's Sacred Waterfall?" Jiang Yuan jumped off the dragon's head.

The white clouds beneath my feet were enveloped by some force, making them indistinguishable from solid matter.

At this moment, a pure white giant eagle, more than ten meters tall, flew out from the sacred waterfall. Its claws were as clear as crystal, yet when they reflected light, a sharp metallic luster could be seen.

"Chirp!" The white giant eagle arrived in front of Jiang Yuan.

"Are you the Feather Emperor?" Jiang Yuan asked.

The white giant eagle nodded: "Chirp~ Chirp!"

Although it was just a bird's call, Jiang Yuan could clearly hear its intent.

The giant white eagle before them was the current Feather Emperor, who was there specifically to await the arrival of Jiang Yuan and Austin.

However, not as the owner.

The master has another demon.

After a brief exchange, the white giant eagle invited Jiang Yuan to enter the sacred waterfall.

Jiang Yuan led Austin into the Sacred Falls.

The moment Baiyun touched his skin, she noticed something was wrong.

The seemingly soft white clouds were actually more frigid than the whistling wind!
Passing through the white clouds, we entered the interior of the sacred waterfall.

Dozens of enormous bird skeletons suddenly appeared before our eyes.

These are the many former Feather Emperors who have died.

The Feather Emperor holds a high position among the Feather Clan, but he is replaced far too frequently.

They change every few years; to exaggerate, there are definitely no fewer than a hundred Feather Emperors.

Thousands of years have passed since the first Feather Emperor established the rules.

One can imagine how many Feather Emperors there are.

The Oath Tree has seen many Feather Emperors in its memories.

Jiang Yuan shifted his gaze from the skeletons and continued deeper into the sacred waterfall.

"Bah!"

"Violent!"

"Chirp!"

"~~~~"

Suddenly, the calls of birds began to ring in my ears.

The next moment, more than a dozen winged demons with monarch-level auras appeared from the clouds, their sharp and piercing eyes fixed on Jiang Yuan and Austin.

They are all former Feather Emperors.

Jiang Yuan had seen all of them in the memories of the Oath Tree.

"Distinguished guest, welcome to our Feather Clan Sacred Waterfall."

A spiritual thought arose in Jiang Yuan's heart, giving people a sense of majesty and age.

“Now that the guests have arrived, why don’t you come out and greet them yourself? Are you planning to play tricks?” Jiang Yuan said.

"Feel sorry."

As soon as he finished speaking, the clouds in front of Jiang Yuan began to churn.

Contrary to expectations, it was not a massive creature, but rather a small feathered demon, roughly the size of an Ice Winged Bird, that flew out of the clouds.

Its feathers are also pure white and flawless, adorned with fine gold threads, and its forehead emits a gentle glow.

Although it was not large, Jiang Yuan could clearly sense the energy contained within it.

It is no less than that of Austin.
