A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1857: 515 Cloud Walking and the Four Symbols Dao_2

The young Monk had to adjust his body, striving to maintain his balance and attempting to continue moving forward.

But the rope was several meters long.

The end tied to the rock was relatively stable, while the side held in the elder's hand occasionally trembled slightly.

Moreover, with the night wind howling and the young Monk's senses sealed, reaching the other side was indeed not an easy task.

"Is this a training for Heart Eye Skill?"

Matthew tried to relate what he saw and heard in front of him with the rumors he knew about the Monks.

But at that moment,

The young Monk stepped forward into the void, lost his balance thoroughly, and fell down instantly!

"Ah...!"

The young Monk screamed.

Yet, the Cloud Climber Monk just shook his head, then steadily tightened his grip on the rope.

A few seconds later,

The Monk plunged into the clouds.

Another several seconds passed.

Suddenly, a giant Immortal Crane burst through the clouds—

And there, the young Monk seemed to be tightly clinging to the back of the Immortal Crane.

By then, his eye mask and the seal on his nose and mouth were already removed.

His face showed a mix of horror and shame.

"Teacher, I..."

The words of the young Monk were scattered by the wind.

The Cloud Climber Monk just waved from a distance, and the Immortal Crane immediately descended, taking the young Monk out of sight.

Next was another young Monk.

"Huh? This Monk's silhouette seems somewhat familiar?"

Before Matthew could take a closer look,

The Monk, whose senses were sealed, had already stepped forward.

He quickly took several steps on the rope, his pace quick, and his center of gravity extremely stable.

Seeing this,

The Cloud Climber Monk slightly smiled, and unexpectedly let go of the rope.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Under the blowing of the wind,

The rope fell freely.

However, the Monk seemed oblivious.

He kept walking forward.

Every step he took was on the void!

Then, a miraculous scene occurred.

Despite clearly having no support beneath his feet, he kept moving forward step by step!

Just like that,

He walked a great distance, far beyond the inherent length of the rope.

At one moment,

The Monk seemed to suddenly realize something, then shouted in midair,

"Master Bai Yun, have I mastered it?"

Bai Yun just smiled and then waved a hand.

As if by some divine intervention, large hands appeared, stripping the Monk of all his seals—

The Monk suddenly saw himself standing in the void, a look of ecstasy on his face.

However, a few seconds later,

A subtle change in his body's center of gravity occurred.

As if gravity had reactivated, he fell straight down to the ground!

The posture of this Monk as he fell was no different from that of the previous Trialist.

The difference being,

After he plunged into the clouds, it took more than two minutes before any movement came from the clouds.

Matthew stared intently.

He saw him dashing boldly atop the clouds!

Although his movements and posture were far from being as graceful as those of Master Bai Yun,

Clearly, he had mastered "Cloud Walking!"

"Unexpected, truly unexpected."

The voice of Master Bai Yun sounded behind Matthew:

"The techniques such as 'Cloud Walking' and 'Stepping Without Trace', which even my own Disciples struggled to master, were effortlessly learned by a Monk from another sect."

"It shows that everything is predetermined, and chances are unpredictable."

Matthew, watching the bald head running frantically in the clouds, couldn't help but smile,

"I didn't expect to encounter an old acquaintance here with you, Master."

"Speaking of which, wasn't Li Weiqi a Disciple of the Divine Dragon Sect?"

"How did he switch to your discipleship?"

Master Bai Yun shook his head:

"Venerable Li just encountered some obstacles on his path to legendary status, so he came to chat with me for solace."

"As for the abilities and skills of the Cloud Climbing Monk lineage, they are not truly secretive secrets. Everyone is a Monk, and if he wanted to learn, of course, I could teach him, but whether he could learn depends entirely on destiny."

As they spoke,

Master Bai Yun led Matthew to a cave carved out by man on top of the mountain.

Matthew had intended to meet up with Li Weiqi first, to cozy up to the Cloud Climbing Monk through him, but Master Bai Yun started asking:

"You're here for the 'Flowing Cloud Will', aren't you?"

Matthew nodded.

Bai Yun took out a black bead from his pocket and handed it to Matthew, frankly saying,

"This is the Flowing Cloud Will."

Upon handling it, Matthew couldn't help but reveal a look of astonishment—

Indeed, it was one of the nodal tokens needed to construct the undead domain!

Gaining the Flowing Cloud Will signified the recognition of the Longevity Domain.

This could greatly stabilize the newly defined undead domain on a global scale!

"You're giving it to me just like that?"

"Is there no trial or assessment required?"

Matthew couldn't help but ask.

Bai Yun replied with a smile:

"No need."

"If you insist on a reason, there are mainly three."

"First, you are renowned out there, Star Tamer, Destroyer, the names that Intimidate the astral world, I am just a frail Monk, I cannot be a match for such a powerful Necromancer like you."

"In this current situation, I do not wish my disciples and I to encounter unexpected calamities; rather than beating around the bush, it's better to offer you the Flowing Cloud Will directly."

"Secondly, you are a friend of Li Weiqi. The relationship between the Divine Dragon Sect's Monks and us has always been good, another act of good will is also reasonable."

Matthew squinted:

"So the real reason is the third one?"
