61: Breakthrough
Two hours later, there was no movement in the white jade mirage, and Zhan Feng, who was extremely nervous, finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After a life-and-death struggle with Jin Kui, he had a clear understanding of the strength gap between himself and the foundation building period.
After cultivating the 'Five Spirits', he always thought that his strength could be comparable to that of the foundation building period monks, but when he fought with Jin Kui, he found that there was still an insurmountable gap between his cultivation and the foundation building period.
It's not just a power gap, it's a gap that can't be described in words.
Although Zhan Feng's cultivation of the Five Spirits endowed the Purple Mansion with spiritual power equivalent to that of a monk in the foundation building period, the gap in the realm made it impossible for him to fully volatilize this energy and the momentum that his huge spiritual power should have.
If the realm of the Qi refining period and the foundation building period is regarded as a wine jar, then the most that a monk can pour out from the wine jar during the Qi cultivation period is wine with better water, while during the foundation building period, he can pour something like honey from the wine jar.
Although the volume contained by the two is the same, there is an essential difference in the contents inside, and the biggest difference is the power of the laws of heaven and earth contained in them.
It was a fluke that Zhan Feng was able to escape death this time, in the case of his own cultivation of Kaiyang's secretary Red Lotus Sword Qi and a certain number of array disks, he could only cause some slight killings to come in, and it did not have much impact on Jin Kui's attack, and he was even seriously injured, his conceited rashness gave him a profound lesson, and also made him pay a heavy price.
Thankfully, he finally escaped from the Hell, and although he was seriously injured, his life was saved.
After taking a deep breath, Zhan Feng tried his best to support his already collapsed body, sat cross-legged on the spot with difficulty, returned to the source with his hands, calmed his breath, and began to hold his breath and breathe to heal his wounds.
In the battle, Zhanfeng's spiritual power in the Purple Mansion was basically exhausted, and the sea of five spiritual qi in the Purple Mansion was nearly exhausted, and in addition, Zhanfeng's left chest was pierced by Jin Shuo, and the essence and blood were measured, and the body fell into extreme weakness.
The weak body coupled with the huge consumption of spiritual power, the sea of five spiritual qi in the purple mansion has almost reached the verge of collapse, if you don't recover in time, I'm afraid it won't be long before the sea of five spiritual qi that has finally condensed will collapse due to the exhaustion of spiritual power.
For an immortal cultivator, the collapse of the spiritual sea is equivalent to losing the ability to cultivate immortals from now on, and no matter how much heaven and earth treasures are used in time, I am afraid that they will not be able to return to the sky, which Zhan Feng knows very well in his heart.
After probing his divine sense into his Purple Mansion, Zhan Feng showed a bitter smile on his face, the sea of five spiritual qi full of vigorous spiritual power in the purple mansion before, but at this time, it was like a pond after the drought in summer, there was no trace of spiritual power flowing, and there was still a gray gas faintly hovering in the sea of five spiritual qi.
Zhan Feng knew that the gray gas was the legendary death qi, and unlike the corpse qi, it represented the omen of the decay of all things in heaven and earth.
At the same time, the five-pointed star formation connecting the five spiritual qi seas also appeared very dim, flickering like ghost fire in the night sky, slowly dissipating.
"I didn't expect the injuries to be so seriousβ"
Zhan Feng sighed secretly, his expression was straight, he stretched out his hand and patted it, took out the five spirit pills in the storage bag, didn't care about much, and directly poured out five five spirit pills from the white vial, without thinking about it, he opened his mouth and swallowed it.
When the rich spiritual power contained in the Five Spiritual Pills thawed from his mouth, Zhan Feng immediately calmed down and quickly traveled the Five Spirits Mantra, guiding the majestic spiritual power that burst out from his mouth and flowed into his body.
Perhaps it was because he felt the aura of the Five Spirit Pills, the lifeless Five Spirit Qi Sea in the Purple Mansion suddenly trembled slightly, and then began to run slowly like a seventy or eighty-year-old man walking.
Under the nourishment of the majestic spiritual power of the Five Spirit Pills, the empty sea of five spiritual qi began to slowly recover, the gray dead qi began to slowly dissipate, and the slow operation of the five spiritual qi sea also revealed a trace of clear Guan Ze.
Seeing that the sea of five spiritual qi began to recover slowly, Zhan Feng finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and without hesitation, he swallowed five five spirit pills again, and gradually showed its due luster in the pure spiritual power nourishing the sea of five spiritual qi, and slowly changed from the beginning to the pure spiritual power that devoured the five spirit pills without refusal.
At the same time, the aura in the white jade mirage also formed a huge white vortex centered on Zhanfeng, and streams of pure spiritual power were quickly refined by the five spiritual qi seas in Zhanfeng's Purple Mansion.
After swallowing more than fifty grains of the Five Spirit Pill, the Five Spiritual Qi Sea in Zhanfeng's Purple Mansion finally recovered to the realm of the four grades of Qi Training, and at the same time, the spiritual power in the Five Spiritual Qi Sea also began to flow back into Zhanfeng's body, and he began to slowly repair Zhanfeng's damaged body.
Ten days later, Zhanfeng's body has basically recovered, and the spiritual power in the purple mansion is also abnormally full, but Zhanfeng has not stopped cultivating, after the battle with Jin Kui, he has a greater yearning for powerful power in his heart, and the pursuit of power in his heart is more intense, and at the same time he also knows that without a strong force, he cannot realize the obsession in his heart, all in all, he needs strength, a power that is enough to match heaven and earth.
A month later, there was a sudden shock from Zhanfeng's Purple Mansion, and the sea of five spiritual qi in the purple mansion was like a hurricane in a storm, circling to form five huge cyclones, and at the same time, the spiritual power in the white jade mirage also quickly converged in the direction of Zhanfeng, and then was absorbed and refined by Zhanfeng, and was used to fill the vortex of the five spiritual qi sea of the Purple Mansion.
Accumulation of small amounts, ropes sawed and wood broken, water drops and stones pierced, although Zhan Feng's face was calm, but his divine sense was tightly guarding the Purple Mansion, carefully controlling the high-speed operation of the five spiritual qi sea.
After a month of absorption, the Five Spiritual Qi Sea finally reached the edge of a breakthrough, if he couldn't control the operation of the Five Spiritual Qi Sea at this time, then there was only one result, and that was the failure of the breakthrough, and his hard work this month would be in vain.
Therefore, Zhan Feng did not dare to be careless, his mind was tightly guarded, and according to the mantra of the five spiritual qi, he carefully compressed the spiritual power in the sea of five spiritual qi, so that the loose spiritual power deepened the concentration in the sea of five spiritual qi.
With a bang, when the spiritual power condensation reached a critical point, a shock suddenly came from the Purple Mansion, and the five spiritual qi seas suddenly became larger while running at high speed, forming a larger spiritual power vortex.
The aura in the white jade mirage seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and it surged in an instant, forming a huge aura vortex around Zhanfeng, and the white cyclone rushed straight to the nine heavens tens of thousands of zhang high.
Under the operation of Zhanfeng's five spiritual endowments, the 10,000-zhang-high aura vortex was like a drill, quickly hovering above Zhanfeng's head.
Among them, the spiritual energy absorbed into Zhanfeng's body was simply visible to the naked eye, like a turbulent stream, heading straight for the sea of five spiritual qi in Zhanfeng's Purple Mansion.
Zhan Feng still closed his eyes tightly, his mind was tight, the posture in his hands changed, and the absorption speed was faster, the sea of five spiritual qi in the purple mansion was like a black hole with five desires and dissatisfaction, desperately sucking the spiritual energy absorbed into his body by Zhan Feng.
At the same time, the five qi seas with different attributes were also absorbing each other, and the five-pointed star formation connecting the five spiritual qi seas also swept away the previous decadent color at this time, emitting this dazzling light.
The transformation of the five spiritual qi seas into each other accelerated the speed at which Zhan Feng absorbed the spiritual energy, and at the same time, it also accelerated the condensation of the spiritual power between the five spiritual qi seas.
Gradually, the sparse and complex spiritual power began to slowly condense under the high-speed operation of the five spiritual qi seas, and finally formed a layer of light blue spiritual qi seas.
At this point, the speed of the Five Spiritual Qi Sea began to return to normal, and Zhan Feng also broke through from the realm of the four grades of Qi cultivation to the realm of the five grades of Qi training, but Zhan Feng did not stop cultivating, but continued to consolidate the five spiritual qi sea that had just been transformed, and consolidated the cultivation of the five grades of Qi cultivation that had just broken through.
When he felt the pure spiritual power in the sea of five spiritual qi flowing back into the veins, Zhan Feng suddenly had a new feeling, this feeling came from the sea of five spiritual qi, and also from his body, it was a feeling after the breakthrough of power.
There are many thresholds for cultivating immortals, just saying that practicing qi is a realm, breaking through the first grade of qi training is a threshold, breaking through the fourth grade of qi training to the fifth grade of qi is another threshold, and breaking through the eighth grade of qi training to the ninth grade of qi is also a threshold.
Every breakthrough in the bottleneck will make the cultivator's body and cultivation sublimate qualitatively, and the strength will also be multiplied.
Call!
Zhan Feng, who was sitting cross-legged, gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, closed his practice posture, and suddenly opened his eyes, a trace of light flashed in his childish eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a hint of a smile.
Although he was seriously injured this time, it also created an opportunity for him to break through, and while his spiritual power was exhausted, he also strengthened the tenacity of the five spiritual qi seas, which enabled him to absorb more spiritual energy, break through the realm of the fourth grade of qi training in one fell swoop, and successfully advance to the realm of the fifth grade of qi training.
"Jin Kui, should I hate you? or should I thank you, if it weren't for you, I might not have been able to break through in such a short time, and it would be impossible for me to know that my mother is from the Liu family in Whitewater City - rest assured, I will definitely thank you the next time I meet you." β
Suddenly, the smile on Zhanfeng's face flashed, revealing a hint of cruelty, stretched out his hands to look at it, and said to himself coldly.
Jin Kui almost killed himself, this resentment Zhan Feng naturally will not forget, and at the same time, the information he learned from Jin Kui's mouth also gave him a direction in his heart, recalling Jin Kui's hideous expression when he talked about his mother, Zhan Feng's heart suddenly rose a strong killing intent, if someone was around him, he would definitely be shocked by his fierce killing intent.
Father's debts are repaid, Jin Kui is his mother's enemy, and naturally Zhanfeng's enemy, new hatred and old hatred are added together, Zhanfeng will naturally not let Jin Kui go, although he knows in his heart that he is not Jin Kui's opponent now, but he is secretly vowing that one day he will break Jin Kui's body into pieces.
Call!
After a long time, Zhan Feng finally regained his composure, the killing intent on his body was instantly restrained, his breath changed, and he regained the temperament that he should have at the age of sixteen, and after taking a deep breath, Zhan Feng suddenly got up, and his mind moved except for the white jade mirage.
Airplanes!
With a slight spatial fluctuation, Zhan Feng immediately appeared at the position where he had entered the White Jade Mirage before, and as soon as his figure stood still, he immediately released his divine sense to scan the surrounding environment, and after not finding that no one was watching around, Zhan Feng glanced at Lotus Island.
At this time, the Lotus Island is long gone, the previous quiet, quaint attic courtyard has disappeared, under the impact of Jin Kui and his powerful spiritual power, the entire Lotus Island is like a mass grave, full of potholes and lifeless.
Looking at the messy courtyard, Zhan Feng shook his head bitterly, and sighed softly, not that he was reluctant to build before, but he felt a little emotion in his heart, the world is impermanent, and no one would have thought that there was no absolutely safe place in the outer gate of the Kaiyang Sect.
For Zhan Feng when he came, Lotus Island had been exposed, and he needed to find a new place to cultivate, and it could not go beyond the scope demarcated by the sect for him, which made Zhan Feng a little embarrassed, and from Jin Kui's words, he learned that the person who wanted to be unfavorable to him was pure steel.
This name Zhan Feng is not unfamiliar, even very familiar, when he was Xiao Si, he had long been like a thunderbolt to the archdeacon of the Five Palaces, and when the Shuikan Hall was in hot pursuit, there was another Jinze Hall Master, which was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire for Zhan Feng's current situation.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhan Feng felt that it was too dangerous for him to stay in the Kaiyang Sect, so he secretly decided to participate in the sect mission immediately after the challenge ended, and at the same time avoid the eyes and ears of the Kaiyang Sect, he could also use this time to investigate his mother's life history.
After weighing it repeatedly, Zhan Feng felt that this was the most beneficial way for him, not only to escape the danger in the Kaiyang Sect, but also to secretly investigate what he wanted to know, and at the same time to complete the sect tasks, which was a good thing for Zhan Feng to kill three birds with one stone.
"Let's go and see the date of the game first, I don't think there's much time left. β
Zhan Feng, who was standing in a daze, suddenly flashed a fine light in his eyes, touched his chin and shook his head, and then said something to himself, just about to fly up, but only to hear a deafening birdsong from the sky.
"Windbeast, this unrighteous fellow, has the face to come back. β
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhan Feng was slightly stunned, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and when he looked up, he saw the white afterimage of the Wind Beast flying in his direction, recalling the scene when the Wind Beast ran away at that time, Zhan Feng was very dissatisfied in his heart, and at the same time there was a trace of doubt.
According to the "Chronicles of Strange Beasts", all demon beasts wearing soul rings are integrated with the waiter in life and death, just like the ancient sword and sword spirit, swearing to protect the waiter to the death.
But after being put on a soul ring by Zhanfeng, the Wind Beast not only did not protect Zhanfeng, but chose to flee without hesitation after sensing the danger.
Thinking back to the scene at that time, he was angry and angry at the Wind Beast Zhanfeng, and at the same time, he secretly wondered if there was something wrong with the link of condensing the soul ring.
When Zhan Feng was puzzled, the Wind Beast landed two meters in front of him in a blink of an eye, swinging his huge body, his copper bell-like eyes dripping and turning, with a hint of flattery, a hint of vigilance, and a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Photograph"
The corners of Zhanfeng's mouth bent, and he instantly stretched out his hand and waved towards the Wind Beast, and with a soft snort, a spiritual power suddenly shot out from his fingers, and before the Wind Beast could react, it instantly activated the Imperial Beast Spirit Array hidden in the Wind Beast's body.
In the blink of an eye, the space where the Wind Beast was located suddenly fluctuated, and then a white light burst out.
A formation similar to a pentagram instantly appeared around the Wind Beast, forming five trapping barriers, trapping the Wind Beast in an instant with lightning speed.
In the face of the sudden mutation, the Wind Beast looked very frightened, its panicked eyes filled with fear, and it kept stirring its huge wings, trying to break free from the shackles of the Beast Possession Array.
"Sleepy"
Zhan Feng disdained the struggle of the Wind Beast, and at the moment when the Imperial Beast Possession Array was formed, his fingers swiped into the air, and with a sneer, a red spiritual power shot out from his fingertips, and the Imperial Beast Possession Array that trapped the Wind Beast instantly contracted, trapping the Wind Beast tightly, and it lost all its ability to act.
Cuckoo!
The Wind Beast wailed, its eyes full of pleading, and it looked at Zhan Feng in a panic, looking very cute.
"Quiet!"
Zhan Feng's gaze froze, glanced at the Wind Beast, and instantly released his divine sense, directly probing into the Wind Beast's mind to probe the situation of the Beast's soul ring.
Seeing Zhan Feng's fierce eyes, the Wind Beast's body couldn't help but tremble, not daring to look at Zhan Feng, standing there obediently with its head down, not daring to move, Zhan Feng's cold eyes made it feel a trace of death.
"It's strange, the beast soul ring is intact, could it be that something has happened to this guy who can't mutate?"
After a stick of incense, Zhan Feng withdrew the divine consciousness placed in the mind of the Wind Beast, looked puzzled, touched his chin, and began to talk to himself.
Originally, he thought that the abnormal phenomenon of the Wind Beast was caused by the Beast Soul Ring, but after carefully exploring the Beast Soul Ring of the Wind Beast Knowing the Sea, he found that there was no problem with the Beast Soul Ring, which made him even more puzzled in his heart, and he could only attribute the abnormal behavior of the Wind Beast to the mutation of the Wind Beast itself.
In fact, it's not because there is a problem with the Zhanfeng Imperial Beast's soul ring, no one has been able to collect it as a soul beast since the ancient times, even if the wind beast is put on a soul ring, the wind beast can only be regarded as the master's mount.
Because of the particularity of the Storm Beast, even if it wears a soul ring, its status is equal to that of the Attendant, which means that it has no obligation to protect the Attendant to the death, and it will not die because the Attendant dies, which is the reason why the Storm Beast immediately flees when it encounters danger.
Of course, this is an ancient secret, after 10,000 years, there are only a handful of people in the immortal cultivation world who know about it, and Zhanfeng, a hairy boy who has just stepped into the immortal cultivation world, will naturally not know.
"Forget it, I'm slowly observing in the future, it's better to get down to business first-"
Zhan Feng, who couldn't figure out the reason after thinking about it, sighed softly, and with a wave of his big hand, he instantly removed the Imperial Beast Possession Array that bound the Wind Beast.
Although the Imperial Beast Possession Array had been withdrawn by Zhanfeng, the Wind Beast did not dare to move, and still stood there obediently with its head down, its thick feet still trembling slightly, looking very afraid of Zhanfeng.
"Let's go. β
Zhan Feng jumped up, stepped on the Wind Beast, and sighed softly, the Wind Beast did not dare to hesitate in the slightest, and instantly flew off the ground and soared straight into the sky.
"Ancient Demon Beast, Space Magic Weapon, Master really didn't guess wrong, it's really surprising! I don't know what secrets are hidden in you, but I'm looking forward to you." β
When the afterimage of the Wind Beast gradually blurred, a black shadow slowly appeared where Zhan Feng left, staring up at the direction where Zhan Feng disappeared, touching his chin, and sneering on his face.
