Chapter 119: Half-Clouded Intentions

  "To break through this prison, I must understand the intent of the cloud, only then can I counterattack. But my understanding of the cloud's intent is far from sufficient, and it's impossible to comprehend in such a short time." Qin Yong was getting anxious, unable to find a solution.

  The comprehension of the realm is not that easy, Qin Yong also had several opportunities to comprehend the sword intent and the wind realm, most of which relied on external forces, relying on Qin Yong's own perceptiveness, it's likely that he can't comprehend one now, the realm is a more difficult power to break through than cultivation.

  "What to do, if I continue like this, I'll definitely die!" Qin Yong's heart was heavy with worry. If the Fire Wall LV2 emblem was useful, Qin Yong wouldn't even think about Yun Yī Hǔ's previous instructions anymore.

  Although doing so might infuriate Yun Yī Hǔ, it's still better than dying immediately. However, Qín Yǒng was clear that in this situation, the Fire Wall LV2 tattoo had no effect whatsoever. As for other tattoos, the ones Qín Yǒng currently had were useless, and even if he spent all his points, he couldn't buy useful tattoos anymore. It could be said that Qín Yǒng had fallen into a desperate situation, facing a real life-or-death crisis. Facing this life-or-death crisis, Qín Yǒng's mind was completely clear.

  "This cloud prison isn't restricting me with brute force, I'm not using my strength to its fullest, but rather dispersing it elsewhere. This is softness, my current struggle, using only brute force, although powerful, lacks the subtlety of softness, this cloud prison is overcoming hardness with softness?" Qin Yong's thoughts turned rapidly, the Wind Cloud Sword grasped in his hand, a bright light flashing in his eyes, "Overcoming hardness with softness, overcoming softness with hardness, both are not divided into strong and weak, only depending on the inner strength. My current cultivation is too low, my actual strength too weak, I am unable to overcome softness with hardness, so then I will overcome softness with softness!"

  Qin Yong finally thought of a way to deal with it. Although he didn't understand the Cloud Intention Realm, he did grasp the Sword Intention and Wind Intention Realms. Among them, the strongest Wind Intention Realm had reached three and a half levels. The wind blew and the clouds moved, Qin Yong couldn't use the Cloud Intention Realm to disperse the cloud prison, so he used the Wind Intention Realm to blow it away.

  As Qin Yongfeng's domain was activated, a strong gust of wind blew outward from him. Instantly, the cloud prison was pushed open, and the air flowed again. Qin Yongfeng could finally breathe again, and he took two greedy breaths in surprise. However, after only two breaths, the cloud prison suddenly recovered, trapping Qin Yongfeng once more.

  "Using the Wind Intent to disperse the Cloud Intent, what a good idea, you're quite interesting. However, if you think that Tiger's Cloud Intent is the same as his previous Wind Intent, then you're greatly mistaken. The Cloud Intent is one of Tiger's proudest techniques, and even if he doesn't use his full strength, it's not something that your little bit of Wind Intent can disperse. Unless your Wind Intent reaches 50% or higher, otherwise, you should try to comprehend the Cloud Intent instead. With just 20% of the Cloud Intent, you'll be able to disperse this cloud prison."

  Qin Yong's heart sank as soon as he heard the words, and he didn't even grasp half of Yun Yiqi's realm, let alone Yun Yiqi's realm itself, or even reaching two accomplishments. As for Feng Yiqi's realm, Qin Yong had currently reached three and a half accomplishments, although it was very impressive, but still far from five accomplishments.

  Yun Wing Tiger is indeed Yun Wing Tiger, born with an extremely high innate talent for understanding the Cloud Intent Realm, able to rank among the top three of the Thirty-six Earth Spiritual Beasts, and even surpassing the lowest ranked Seventy-two Heaven Spiritual Beasts. This is not without reason. This is still when Yun Wing Tiger was not yet mature and was suppressed, with the Cloud Intent Realm not being fully grasped, and on top of that, intentionally holding back this time, the attack was like this.

  At this time, Qin Yong's heart rose with a wry smile. Previously, he had thought that by relying on various means, even if Yun Yitao went all out, he could barely cope. Now it seems that it was just his one-sided wishful thinking. If Yun Yitao were to use his true strength, Qin Yong would have no power to resist. The treasures here are unimaginably powerful, but the trials are also extremely difficult. Indeed, great gains represent great danger.

  "Kid, Tiger Grandpa thinks you're still somewhat pleasing to the eye, so I'll remind you once more. This Cloud Prison looks ordinary, but it's actually even more terrifying than other Intent Domain attacks. Once trapped inside, it's like being stuck in a swamp and unable to pull yourself out. However, this is an Intent Domain attack, containing Intent comprehension within. As long as you comprehend the Cloud Intent within, just one percent will do, combined with your current Wind Intent, you can break through."

  Originally, it took two-thirds of the cloud intent to dispel the Cloud Winged Tiger's attack, but Qin Yong himself had more than three-tenths of the wind intent, and with coordination, he could indeed succeed. This also became Qin Yong's only way out, as he himself had some understanding of the cloud intent, but was still far from the minimum half-intent.

  At this time, when Yun Yī Hǔ spoke, Qín Yǒng immediately withdrew his thoughts and began to comprehend the mysteries of the Cloud Prison. Indeed, a mysterious feeling arose in Qín Yǒng's heart, just like when he first saw the trajectory of the wind, now he seemed to see the trajectory of the clouds.

  The cloud realm is actually an extension of the water realm, as water has no fixed state and changes with the flow. Clouds are also like this, and even more so than water. Qin Yong recalled the cloud realm attack launched by Yun Yitai earlier, which first appeared as a mist, then turned into floating clouds, transformed into a cloud whip to strike him, and finally became a cloud cage that trapped him. There were three changes in this process. If the initial cloud was intended to numb his vigilance, then these three changes were actually the most effective means.

  Clouds are like wind, light and airy, free and easy. Clouds are water, changing infinitely, can be soft or strong.

  Qin Yong recalled the firmness of Yun Lian's cloud rope and the softness of Yun Lao's cloud whip, and a flash of understanding appeared in his eyes. Suddenly, Qin Yong understood that he had originally been some distance away from enlightenment, but now he had suddenly reached the level of half-cloud intent.

  This was the limit of what Qin Yong could comprehend at this time, and to directly reach one success, a stronger opportunity would be needed. However, for Qin Yong, this was already enough, allowing him to cope with the current crisis.

  That's right, even if Qin Yong actually grasped the wind intent realm at three and a half, the half cloud intent realm was still not enough, it had to be infinitely close to one whole. However, apart from the wind intent realm and cloud intent realm, Qin Yong also grasped half of the sword intent.

  Of course, this is not enough. At least Qin Yong must improve a bit more in the realm of cloud intent to disperse the cloud prison. However, Qin Yong was not without means, and he had grasped part of the wind, cloud, and sword realms, which allowed him to instantly grasp the essence of the first move of the Wind Cloud Sword Technique.

  The Wind Cloud Sword Art requires mastery of the three realms: wind, cloud, and sword. Only when all three are fully grasped can the final move be executed. The first move of the Wind Cloud Sword Art only requires a half-understanding of each realm to grasp its essence and execute it perfectly. Its power far surpasses that of rigidly using the Qi Yun Seal, which is also the strongest trump card Qin Yong obtained after grasping half of the cloud realm's intent, enough to turn the tables.

  P.S: I've been busy with work recently, it should get better starting tomorrow. Fat Fish will resume two updates a day from tomorrow, hoping for everyone's continued support.
