Chapter 318, Growth

The so-called sharpening the knife is not a woodcutter, after a period of careful consideration, Qin Feng finally chose to adjust his inner state first, suppress his previous mania, and then choose to rush to the peak in one go.

Since he had decided, Qin Feng no longer hesitated, and directly found a hole left by a demon beast, then sat down cross-legged and began to breathe himself. After about a stick of incense, he walked out of the cave and began to climb up again. After this pranayama, although he was in a hurry, the frequency of encountering demon beasts was significantly reduced, almost the same as when he was at the foot of the mountain, and he felt that the temperature had also slower down. This discovery made him breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

But all that changed when he was still an hour away from the crater at the top of the mountain. As he entered this position, the entire top of the volcano began to shake, and the shaking became more and more violent. Then, in Qin Feng's shocked gaze, the volcano erupted.

A large amount of magma gushed out of the crater, causing the temperature of the entire volcano to rise instantly. At the same time, a large number of demon beasts rushed down from above. Seeing this situation, the manic mood in Qin Feng's heart instantly reached a fixed point with an irrepressible situation. At this moment, his eyes were completely replaced by blood red. The only clarity was quickly devoured.

After discovering this situation, Qin Feng didn't say a word, and immediately flew towards the foot of the mountain. As he dropped rapidly, the temperature gradually decreased, and the mania in his heart was gradually suppressed. After retreating for hundreds of miles in a row, Qin Feng finally stopped, and then casually found a cave of demon beasts and began to meditate cross-legged again. Away from the top of the volcano, it becomes much easier to suppress your inner mania. After a stick of incense, Qin Feng finally reluctantly suppressed the irritability in his body.

When he walked out of the cave and looked to the top of the mountain, he found that the volcano had stopped ejecting. The magma that had just ejected continued to flow downward, not very far from his position. The flow of magma had caused the temperature to rise to his place, but he didn't feel the sudden burst of irritation and rage. He guessed that it was only at that location that the volcano erupted, and this explosive irritability and anger appeared.

Now that he knew this, Qin Feng rushed towards the top of the mountain again, bypassing the flowing magma, and soon approached the place where the volcanic eruption had caused before. Arriving here, Qin Feng paused for a moment, then tried to suppress his increasingly violent emotions again, and then slowed down and moved towards the location that caused the eruption.

When Qin Feng stepped into that position again, the volcano began to shake again. At the same time, he felt a sudden outburst of anger and irritability. This time, instead of immediately rushing downward, he immediately opened a hole in the surface with a wind blade and burrowed into it. Sit down on your knees before the rage consumes your senses, and then concentrate all your mind on trying to hold on to the last shred of clarity while trying to suppress the eruption-like anger in your body.

Qin Feng had been sitting for more than an hour, and the hole he had made had already been sealed by the cooled magma. During this hour, the eruption became more and more intense and gradually subsided, and it was not until half an hour later that the volcano finally returned to calm again. And as the volcano subsided, the temperature on the volcano also began to slowly decrease, not only on the volcano, but also in the entire fantasy world.

Gradually, from the place where Qin Feng came out to the volcano position, the magma pool began to cool gradually, and the magma inside stopped bubbling and began to solidify gradually. After more than half an hour, even the magma lake at the foot of the volcano began to cool and solidify, until an hour later, the entire volcano had become an extinct volcano, and the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the sun appeared in the sky again.

At this time, the rocks outside the cave where Qin Feng was located were blasted open from the inside out. Walking out of the cave where he had been meditating for an hour, looking at it, the entire illusion world had completely changed, and Qin Feng's heart was calm without any waves.

At this time, he finally truly understood the way to crack this phantom array, and also understood Li Xiao's good intentions in setting up this phantom array. It was not so much an illusion as it was a state of mind within him. Although on the surface, he didn't seem to care about anything except cultivation. In fact, only he understood that he was working hard to cultivate in order to ask for the control of the Heavenly Demon and become a free man.

And the Heavenly Demon's control over them made it almost impossible for him to become a free man, and the hatred and anger against the Heavenly Demon that had accumulated over the years was like this fantasy world. Normally, he can stand where he appeared, and his heart can remain calm, but if he is touched, it is like standing on this volcano, once it erupts, he will completely lose his mind and become a madman. However, now that the volcano has affected the surroundings, if it is not controlled properly, one day, even if no one touches it, he will fall into madness. In fact, he himself was not aware of this.

And this so-called second-layer illusion set up by Li Xiao is actually the illusion in his heart, with the mirror of his heart, if he wants to crack it, the only way is to control his inner emotions. Now he is not forgetting the anger and hatred of the heavenly demons in his heart. If you forget, then this volcano will disappear as well. What he did was to fall silent, freeze this hatred for the Heavenly Demon, let it slowly brew in the depths of his heart, and then completely explode when he had the ability one day.

When he climbed the extinct volcano again, his mindset had completely changed, and he was on an outing and before he knew it, he had reached the top of the mountain. Looking at the huge crater on the top of the mountain, Qin Feng glanced around again, and then jumped down without hesitation.

Qin Feng, who came to his senses, straightened his clothes, and then walked to the door of Li Xiao's stone room. Facing the stone room where Li Xiao was, he bowed down very respectfully and made a bow. At this moment, in his heart, he already regarded Li Xiao as his master. Even if Li Xiao didn't teach him anything, it was much more important to him than to teach him any spells.

For these, Li Xiao, who was refining weapons wholeheartedly, didn't know. At this point, he had smelted all the materials, and the next thing was to start the process of removing impurities. The material used to smelt the Spirit Sword is not the kind that is difficult to smelt, so it is much easier to remove impurities. It's just that removing miscellaneous is a thing that requires great care and patience, but for a senior alchemist, there is no shortage of these two things.

After giving the salute, Qin Feng returned to the previous stone chamber again and glanced at the phantom array in front of him. Listening to the meaning of Li Xiao's previous words, there are several layers in the second layer of this formation, and he needs to pass them all before he can deal with the last and third layers.

In the following time, Qin Feng spent all his time except for meditating to recover his divine sense, and the rest of the time he was in the formation. With the experience of the first phantom array on the second layer, Qin Feng finally understood the meaning of Li Xiao's phantom array, the first layer is the foundation of the phantom array, and it is also the most basic illusion hand-break, with an established story line. The second level of illusion is one's own inner world, which constantly amplifies a certain emotion in one's heart, and if you can't control yourself, you will eventually lose yourself. It's not so much about cracking the phantom array, it's about breaking through yourself.

It took Qin Feng half a month to break through the four levels of the second layer, and this is because most of the later levels are passed at one time, otherwise it will take longer. Most of this time is spent restoring consciousness.

The next few levels correspond to negativity. There is a sea of clouds, and those who stay in it will gradually lose their fighting spirit, do not want to do anything, just want to lie on the clouds and rest, and never have to get up. Qin Feng almost wanted to fall asleep like this many times, but in the end, it was only with the stimulation of pain and the desire for freedom that he persevered.

The third level is an endless desert where man-eating demons and yellow sand are everywhere. In this world, what he feels is endless despair, there is no end to suffering, there is no way to be free, and he can't even die. In the end, it was he who unleashed his hatred and anger against the Heavenly Demon that enabled him to overcome despair.

The fourth level is a changeable world, because in this world, everything he wants and wants is fulfilled here. This level amplifies his desires, and at the same time, his excitement and excitement are infinitely amplified after realizing his desires. In the face of desire, few people can hold it, and so does Qin Feng. This level alone made him a mystery twice, and finally passed the third time.

Having completely passed through this second layer of the phantom array, Qin Feng had a feeling as if he was reincarnated as a human being. Now he is no longer the young man who seems to be indifferent to everything on the outside, but lacks experience. Now he gives people a sense of calm and capable.

And to his surprise, he found that his divine sense had really improved a lot, and it had reached the point of the late stage of Jindan. It is one level higher than the realm of his own strength. In other words, Li Xiao didn't lie to him, after going through these trainings, his divine sense would indeed improve a lot. However, Li Xiao's divine sense strength was so much stronger than his own strength, so how many such illusions did he go through to achieve this effect. However, what he didn't know was that there was another main reason why Li Xiao's divine sense was so much higher than his own, and that was the severe pain and torture. The severe pain of that kind of secret technique is enough to make an ordinary person die directly, but Li Xiao has been able to get used to this kind of pain.

After experiencing the second layer of the illusion array, Qin Feng was full of strong curiosity about the most difficult third layer illusion. But he won't be reckless to open it, because there is only one chance, so he has to be well prepared.
