Chapter 478: Heaven and Earth Fey!
Lin Yuan was of the opinion that Cloud Morph and the Floating Island Whale was a perfect match.
The Floating Island Whale would rise to the sky after becoming a Fantasy Breed. The height it rose to was inconsequential given its immense size.
Even if Lin Yuan had the Ethereal Jellyfish, which had the spatial teleportation ability, it could establish a pathway between Sky City with s.p.a.ce Tunnel. It would essentially connect the land and sky.
Alas, it was not an infallible solution.
The Floating Island Whale was never regarded just as a floating piece of land in the sky. Its intention was always to be used as a formidable battle fortress.
Although its body was not strong, the Floating Island Whale would carry weapons and appliances which were necessary for battle.
The Floating Island Whale could also fly at rapid speed and was apt to become a method of transportation that could traverse the globe.
Lin Yuan could not keep such a battle fortress hidden in the sky forever.
It was disadvantageous for him to do so, and it would be a waste of its potential.
But now that he had the Cloud Crane, the Floating Island Whale could continue gliding in the sky and do so while remaining undiscovered.
Cloud Morph’s s.h.i.+elding ability was impressive in itself, but its psychic-blocking a.s.set was an added bonus.
The stronger the Cloud Crane grew, the more powerful Cloud Morph would become.
Eventually, the Floating Island Whale could become a legend and continue existing in the sky indefinitely.
The more Lin Yuan thought about the prospects, the more thrilled he became. His grip increased along with his excitement, and the spirit qi crystals in his hand shattered.
He instructed Morbius to direct the pulsing spirit qi into the body of the sleeping Gray so that it could absorb the energy.
Unexpectedly, Gray did not seem any different from before after absorbing one spirit qi crystal.
Lin Yuan frowned slightly and placed his hand on Gray’s back.
He gathered the powerful spirit qi from the Spirit Lock spatial zone inside his body and channeled it into Gray.
The intense spirit qi traversed the surface layer of Gray’s body. Lin Yuan could feel every cell in Gray’s body gobbling up the spirit qi, akin to a starving Mother of Bloodbath that had not eaten for decades.
In the end, all the energy was consumed by Gray’s surface layer. Not one ounce of it penetrated the rest of Gray’s body.
Lin Yuan became certain that a large amount of spirit qi crystals would be needed for the promotion of Gray’s genetic model.
Feys who had never undergone the World Cleansing usually did not experience the elevation of their genetic model.
This meant that the opportunity that had presented itself to Gray was a one in a million draw of luck. It was nothing short of a miracle.
However, the promotion of its genetic model could be severed, which would cause Gray to lose its once chance for success.
It would be the equivalent of Lin Yuan personally destroying a gift from G.o.d.
Since Lin Yuan had decided to form a contract with Gray, he would need to nurture it the same way he did with Chimey and Genius.
Genius had started out as a mere housekeeping beast that had not even become a fey, while Chimey was a normal Songstress Bird that had failed to evolve its quality to Normal.
Despite it all, Lin Yuan was resolved to make the best out of their journey together.
He grabbed a fistful of spirit qi crystals and returned to Gray’s side.
He ordered Morbius to fuse and direct the pure spirit qi from every crystal he shattered into Gray’s body.
10 pieces...
20 pieces...
Only when they reached 25 pieces did the rate at which Gray devoured the spirit qi began to slow.
When the 30th crystal was used up, Gray finally stopped absorbing the spirit qi.
Suddenly, all of Gray’s feathers molted and fell.
Instead of falling to the ground, the feathers floated next to Gray, sustained by energy.
Gray continued the cycle of growing and dropping feathers.
This was when Lin Yuan realized why the Pure Land of Bliss had so many of Gray’s fallen feathers.
When he took a closer look at Gray’s new feathers, Lin Yuan noticed that each new set of feathers was different from the last.
Each new set of feathers looked more intricate and exquisite than the last like they were handmade pieces of art.
Lin Yuan thought that Gray’s feathers were far more daedal than the Divine Travel Black Swallow’s feathers, which he had used as a blueprint to make the Source Sand’s Metal Consume Manifestation feathers.
The last set of feathers that sprouted had subtle golden markings on them, giving Gray an even more mysterious appearance.
Lin Yuan felt that these new feathers were even better than Gray’s original ones.
The feathers which had fallen from Gray were suspended next to its body and formed a large white egg.
The egg’s sh.e.l.l gently throbbed as though it was incubating new life.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check Gray’s attributes again. He was instantly stunned.
Gray used to be a fey, but after its genetic model was promoted, it turned into a Heaven and Earth Fey like the Floating Island Whale.
Gray was no longer called Cloud Crane but Sky-Clouded Crane.
Lin Yuan was frazzled by Gray’s sudden transformation into a Heaven and Earth Fey.
Gray fell back into a deep sleep.
Only after it hatched from the egg would Gray gain a new life.
This was the difference between the contract-forming method of Heaven and Earth Feys and other feys.
Using True Data, Lin Yuan saw that Gray’s contract method was similar to the Floating Island Whale.
Both of them needed to feel the bloodline of their contractor during the incubation period. After they hatched, they would decide whether or not to seal the deal.
Lin Yuan thought back to when Gray used to cling to him.
Even if I don’t enhance the bloodline between Gray and me, it should still choose to form a contract with me. However, other than being able to enhance the bloodline between Heaven and Earth Feys and us, blood can also strengthen our bond. I can’t skimp on the amount of blood I use.
