CHAPTER 835: INTRODUCTION

In various different spaces, there are various

In various different spaces, there are various types of cloud beasts.

These cloud beasts are generally tamed and domesticated from a young age and feed on clouds.

Of course, if one wants the cloud beasts to grow better, they need to invest in various special spiritual substances.

It's similar to horses; eating grass only ensures they won't starve. To gain weight and strength, they need to be fed with high-quality fodder.

The feeding recipes for these cloud beasts have been painstakingly developed by disciples of the Beast Controlling Hall through years of repeated experiments.

These recipes ensure both cost-effectiveness and sufficient nutrition for the cloud beasts.

Different cloud beasts have vastly different feeding requirements.

Fortunately, with the continuous expansion of Taiyi Sect's territory, more and more spirit fields have been developed.

The spirit grains, spirit flowers, and spirit fruits grown on these spirit fields not only supply the disciples of the sect but are also used in large quantities to feed the spiritual beasts.

Most of these cloud beasts have already been tamed and can be used by Taiyi Sect.

Among all the cloud beasts, there are three that Wei Wuxian values the most.

One of them is the Cloud Whale.

Adult Cloud Whales are as large as mountains and possess immense strength, allowing them to freely soar in the high sky.

In terms of rank, adult Cloud Whales are at least Third Rank.

Of course, Cloud Whales are generally gentle creatures and not particularly combative. In terms of combat power, they may not be as formidable as other Third Rank spiritual beasts.

Wei Wuxian values the Cloud Whale not just for its combat power.

Once tamed, the Cloud Whale is the most practical flying mount and cargo carrier.

An adult Cloud Whale is comparable in size to a Fourth Rank Cloud Boat and possesses unmatched flying speed.

If one were to construct on its flat back, numerous buildings could be built for transportation purposes.

Taiyi Sect's Divine Workshop can currently only build Second Rank flying vessels.

Flying vessels above Third Rank still need to be purchased from outside sources.

In special circumstances, like the ongoing conflict between the Jiuqu League and the Dali Dynasty, Jade Sword Sect collected most of the flying vessels from the Jiuqu League.

Even with spiritual stones in hand, Taiyi Sect could not purchase a Third Rank flying vessel.

By cultivating Cloud Whales as a means of transportation, Taiyi Sect's aerial transportation capacity can be significantly enhanced.

As a transmigrator, Meng Zhang has a special obsession with aerial advantages and large-scale aerial transportation.

In the Cultivation World, ensuring sufficient aerial power is one of the foundations of a sect.

During the process of taming Cloud Whales, Hu Jing and Wei Wuxian expended considerable effort and tried various methods.

As the Sect Master, Meng Zhang did not need to concern himself with the details or the methods they used to tame the spiritual beasts.

He only needed to know that they succeeded and can now control the Cloud Whales.

However, Hu Jing and Wei Wuxian's work was not without flaws.

Although they had already tamed several Cloud Whales, all of them were still in their infancy and had not yet grown into adults.

Considering the long lifespan of Cloud Whales, it would take a considerable amount of time for these Cloud Whales to reach full maturity.

Among these Cloud Whales, only two of them had grown to Second Rank, while the rest were still at First Rank.

In fact, a Second Rank Cloud Whale was already much larger than a Third Rank flying vessel and could barely be ridden.

If Taiyi Sect wanted to cultivate Third Rank Cloud Whales, it would require not only continuing to invest significant resources but also waiting for a long time.

Regarding this matter, Meng Zhang was in no hurry at all.

As a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, he had plenty of patience for such matters.

Wei Wuxian's work held significant strategic importance and was a hundred-year plan, and even a thousand-year plan for the sect.After introducing the Cloud Whale, Wei Wuxian proceeded to introduce the second type of cloud beast to Meng Zhang, known as the Cloud Shark.

Although the size of the Cloud Shark was not as massive as the Cloud Whale, it was still significant and possessed the ability to freely soar in the sky, just like the Cloud Whale.

If the Cloud Whale was a means of transportation, then the Cloud Shark was a combat tool.

The Cloud Shark had a fierce and aggressive temperament, making it much more challenging to tame compared to the Cloud Whale, requiring more time and effort for taming.

The Cloud Shark possessed extremely powerful combat capabilities, making it a natural warrior.

Among beasts of the same rank, there were few that could stand against the Cloud Shark.

According to Hu Jing's design, a tamed Cloud Shark could be released alone as a hunter in the sky or used to carry various Mechanical Creations, transforming it into a specialized warship.

While Third Rank flying vessels could be bought with spiritual stones during peacetime, the buying and selling of Third Rank warships were subject to many restrictions.

In the Jiuqu League, there were only a few cultivation forces capable of manufacturing Third Rank warships.

To purchase a Third Rank warship from them required a great deal of effort.

On the other hand, a mature Cloud Shark could directly confront a Third Rank warship with its strength.

However, similar to the Cloud Whale, the currently tamed Cloud Sharks in the Beast Controlling Hall were only First Rank and Second Rank.

Cultivating a Third Rank Cloud Shark would also take a long time, waiting for it to grow gradually.

The third type of cloud beast that Wei Wuxian had high expectations for was the Cloud Clam.

The shell of the Cloud Clam was extremely tough, making it an excellent material for refining.

Inside the Cloud Clam's shell were cloud pearls filled with abundant spiritual energy and containing unique powers.

Cloud pearls had significant roles in both refining and alchemy.

Meng Zhang's disciple, An Xiaoran, was currently one of the foremost Alchemists in Taiyi Sect.

During her efforts to improve pill formulas, she made an unexpected discovery.

She found that certain special cloud pearls, when processed and added to the pill refining process, significantly increased the success rate of pill formation.

An Xiaoran even used these cloud pearls as the main material to refine a secret substance that greatly improved the success rate of pill formation and was effective for many types of pills.

Upon discovering this, An Xiaoran immediately classified it as a sect secret and kept it strictly confidential.

Even the specialized breeding grounds for cultivating Cloud Clams were raised to a higher level of secrecy by her.

As Meng Zhang's personally transmitted disciple, An Xiaoran's cultivation base and position in the sect far surpassed Wei Wuxian, allowing her to effortlessly handle these matters.

An Xiaoran demanded much from the Beast Controlling Hall, asking them to provide more high-quality cloud pearls.

Unfortunately, the Beast Controlling Hall's capabilities were limited, and there were currently not many successfully cultivated Cloud Clams.

Moreover, the proportion of Cloud Clams that produced special cloud pearls was even lower.

For this reason, An Xiaoran had pleaded with Meng Zhang, asking him to capture more Cloud Clams when he went to the Nine Heavens.

As Meng Zhang was already busy with numerous matters, he could only spare the time to go once or twice at most. At best, he could do it when it was convenient.

To obtain a large number of special cloud pearls, they had to rely on the methods of Taiyi Sect's Beast Controlling Hall.

Due to An Xiaoran's request, the Beast Controlling Hall had invested more resources in cultivating Cloud Clams.

However, so far, the results were far from satisfactory for her.

Wei Wuxian focused on introducing these three types of cloud beasts.

The other cloud beasts either had less significant roles or had not been entirely tamed, still posing some problems...

Nevertheless, just the introduction of those by Wei Wuxian already left Meng Zhang quite satisfied.
