Chapter 268 Painful Years of TrainingThat is the realm of the Immortal Emperor. Although Shen Liu is still some distance away from that realm now, it does not prevent her from knowing how difficult it is to break through the Immortal Emperor realm. And now, Feng Xi saw the threshold of the Immortal Emperor, which proved that he really arrived at that realm. "I'm leaving first." Feng Xi left the dam world after leaving a word. Now time is short and the task is heavy. Two thousand years have passed since he last comprehended the Immortal Emperor Fruit. Because the 100,000-year period is approaching, he has not touched the Immortal Emperor Fruit. After returning to the original fairyland, Feng Xi did not waste any time and began to comprehend the fruit of the Immortal Emperor. Because of the changes in the storm in the boundary sea, Feng Xi felt the pressure deeply, so this time when he comprehended the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit, he did not stop immediately, but stayed for a while, until his head exploded and a horrible crack appeared on his frontal bone, Feng Xi stopped. A tremendous amount of power emanated from the Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit, but Feng Xi did not change his expression at all. Now time is too tight and he must race against time. As a last resort, he could only resort to this method of self-mutilation in order to gain more insights from the Immortal Emperor at one time. Doing so will indeed hurt oneself, but it can speed up the process of comprehending the Dao Fruit of the Immortal Emperor.
With a loud bang, Feng Xi first felt his head split open, and then he felt a pain as if his soul was almost torn apart. The power of the Immortal Emperor is so great. In the past, he had absorbed it bit by bit and then digested it, but this time, it was more than ten times as much as before. The brilliant symbols were flying and flashing inside Feng Xi’s cracked head, and each one was emitting fireworks. That kind of symbol is so powerful that even if it releases a little bit of its aura, it can terrify a quasi-immortal emperor. Because it is the supreme rune, a symbol of the Immortal Emperor level. Although it is rare, it is a genuine Immortal Emperor rune. At this moment, those symbols were flying inside Feng Xi's cracked head, tightly intertwined with the little soul figure inside his head. Feng Xi was refining the runes intertwined in his soul. These were Immortal Emperor level runes. Every time he refined one, his Taoism increased by one point. Since returning to the original fairyland, Feng Xi's cultivation progress has suddenly increased. Now his speed of refining the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit is nearly ten times faster than before, and this is also Feng Xi's current fastest speed. If it were faster, it would exceed the limit of what he could endure now. If it were faster, even if he was a quasi-immortal emperor, he would not be able to withstand that kind of Tao rhythm and would merge with the Tao and disappear. The understanding of the Tao is a double-edged sword. Using people to control the Tao and using the Tao to control people are two different concepts. The former is that the Tao is controlled by oneself, and the latter is that one is controlled by the Tao. If the cultivator cannot grasp the Tao, he will be assimilated by the Tao, and the natural outcome is that he will be assimilated with the Tao and become part of the Tao. So now Feng Xi is completely walking on a tightrope, and if he is not careful, he will fall off the cliff. Helplessly, in order to deal with the Corpse Immortal Emperor who is about to awaken, Feng Xi is now really racing against time. Feng Xi did not feel anxious about this, because he still had the ability to fight hard, which was actually very lucky, because many people did not even have the opportunity to fight hard. Although what he is doing now is very dangerous, if he does not give it a try, he will die at the hands of the Corpse Immortal Emperor. At that time, he will wonder if he would have felt the same way if he had tried his best. Besides, he is not alone now, he has something to worry about. If Willow God dies in front of him, how will he feel then? For the people he cares about, Feng Xi is also going to fight hard. The original fairyland, where Feng Xi was in seclusion.
Ten thousand Daos descended, and the Dao rhyme was rich. At this moment, the entire fairyland could feel that it was very extraordinary. The strongest aura was flowing there. The more powerful people were, the more they could empathize with this feeling. Even the Immortal King could feel his own insignificance in front of that aura. Looking intently, everyone could feel that it seemed as if an almighty Immortal Emperor was descending there. "Emperor Feng Tian has become stronger again. This aura has even surpassed the realm of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, right?" The butcher felt the aura and whispered to himself uncertainly. Although he was only an Immortal King with the aura of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor wrapped around his body, he still felt that supreme aura. That aura was even more powerful than that of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. It was a true imperial power. At the same time, Shi Hao, who was practicing, opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the original fairyland. "The real imperial power, has Uncle Feng Xi already touched that realm?" Shi Hao's heart was slightly fluctuating. After that battle with the Quasi-Immortal Emperor, his progress was amazing. After settling down, his cultivation level also improved by leaps and bounds, and the distance he had walked among the Quasi-Immortal Emperors had already surpassed that of the Feather Emperor. Originally, Shi Hao felt that his progress was already terrifying. To be disrespectful, even Master Liu Shen was no match for him now. Such progress is absolutely unimaginable even among quasi-immortal emperors. If he is placed in any ancient history of cultivation, he is definitely the best. However, the aura revealed by Uncle Feng Xi at this moment really shocked Shi Hao. In fact, from the very beginning of his practice, Shi Hao's goal in his heart was not to benchmark against his peers, but to emulate Uncle Feng Xi and Master Liu Shen, because he was very confident that those people would be left far behind by him sooner or later. Facts have also proved that it was not his arrogance. After he became a descendant, he completely surpassed his peers. Later, even the older generation could not catch up with him. By now, he has finally caught up with Liu Shen, but even so, he still has a target, and that is Feng Xi. The other party was like an ancient sacred mountain, which protected him firmly behind it but was also difficult to climb. He has now reached the realm of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, but Shi Hao is very clear that he is still some distance away from becoming the Immortal Emperor. That one step away is really too far. By now, Shi Hao can actually feel that his cultivation speed is slowing down. This is inevitable, because he is now approaching the peak of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor. At this point, if he continues to make rapid progress, it would be too easy for him to cultivate to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm. Of course, this is actually because Shi Hao is not satisfied. His cultivation speed has only slowed down compared to the time when he made rapid progress. Compared with other quasi-Immortal Emperors, his cultivation speed is already a speed that others can't catch up with. For example, the three quasi-immortal emperors Cang, Hong, and Yu, Shi Hao's cultivation speed is many times faster than theirs. Even the Goddess of Willow, in fact, her cultivation speed is already very fast, and in ancient history, many people may not be able to reach it. Even the old man who destroys the world, if he is from the same era as the Goddess of Willow, he cannot be compared with him. He is just slightly inferior to Shi Hao and Feng Xi. In fact, Shi Hao could also feel Feng Xi’s urgency. The pressure brought by the emperor at the end of the sea boundary was really too great. After Feng Xi told Shi Hao about that person's situation, he actually felt pressured, otherwise, he wouldn't have practiced so selflessly. "It's a pity that after reaching the level of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, there are no continuous life-and-death battles to verify my own path. Otherwise, the speed of cultivation could be taken to the next level." Shi Hao felt a little regretful in his heart. This was also a drawback. The more he practiced, the fewer opponents he had. Until today, he really didn't have any opponents at all. To be honest, the battle with the Quasi-Immortal Emperor in the Sea of Realm was not a bad thing. If there had been no such battle, Shi Hao would have asked himself that if he wanted to cultivate to his current level, it would probably take at least a million years. But there are only so many quasi-immortal emperors in the world, and they have all been killed now.
Although there are three quasi-immortal emperors in the world now, they have no intention of killing each other. Even if they are competing, it will not be a life-and-death battle. And at their point, if it wasn't a life-and-death battle, it would be of no use at all. Only when you are on the brink of life and death, that feeling of sudden enlightenment is the most important enlightenment on the path of spiritual practice. Therefore, without constant battles to verify their own paths, the cultivation speed of Shi Hao and Liu Shen were inevitably affected. Now, among the three, the only one who was not affected at all was Feng Xi. On the contrary, not only was he not affected at all, his cultivation speed was even increasing step by step. Things like verifying one's own great path seemed to have nothing to do with him at all. After only a million years of breaking through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor, he had already reached the peak of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor. Now, he has even touched the realm of the Immortal Emperor. This speed of cultivation is unmatched throughout the ancient history. Pick any Immortal Emperor out there and you will find that Feng Xi has a complete monopoly on this speed of cultivation. The exception is the old man in the bronze coffin of three generations. After this old man, who was tired of living, cultivated to the level of sacrificial art, he once reflected the heavens and reflected out all the people he cared about. During that period of time, he cut off his own cultivation just to return to those beautiful days. But during the process, even if he did not practice, his realm still soared rapidly, and soon, he returned to his peak years again. But this kind of thing is just an isolated case. No matter how arrogant Feng Xi is, he will never compare himself with the owner of the bronze coffin. He is an existence that is above the Dao of sacrifice and transcends everything. The saying "once you prove it, you will have it forever" is not enough to describe him. Compared with such a person, he is simply ignorant of his own limitations. But apart from this individual case, Feng Xi is fully qualified to say to all the Immortal Emperors: you are just like that. Now that Feng Xi has forced himself, his cultivation speed has increased a lot, but this kind of cultivation is really painful. Just like now, his forehead bone is still cracked. Although the injury on his forehead bone is recovering as he refines the symbols in his soul, the pain is still there. The frontal bone was split, which was a huge blow to a quasi-Immortal Emperor, and this kind of injury could not be recovered. Not to mention, because the soul was intertwined with the symbols of the Immortal Emperor, this was also a heavy blow to the soul, as if it was constantly being torn apart. Even if he used the Thunder Tribulation Fluid to recover, he would soon experience the pain of a fractured frontal bone again. Because the symbols are intertwined on the soul, if these symbols are not refined, even if the injury to the frontal bone is recovered, it will be torn apart again by the symbols of the Immortal Emperor. Moreover, compared to the physical pain, the feeling of being torn apart in the soul is actually the most important thing. The soul is heavier than the body. For a quasi-immortal emperor, it is not scary if the body is torn apart. As long as the soul is fine, it can be restored again. But once the soul is damaged, it will really damage the origin. However, those Immortal Emperor symbols that have not been refined do not distinguish between friend and foe. This means that those Immortal Emperor symbols do not have any murderous intent, they just instinctively exude their own power. Otherwise, Feng Xi, the quasi-Immortal Emperor's soul, would not be able to withstand the torment. Even if there were only a few Immortal Emperor symbols, they would be enough to tear his soul apart and destroy him both physically and spiritually. This is difficult, but also an opportunity. Although the previous practice was safe, even with the help of the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit, it took two thousand years to comprehend only one Immortal Emperor symbol, and sometimes it was even faster than that. Now, the progress has been greatly improved. Although it is painful to refine several Immortal Emperor runes at the same time, the speed has indeed increased by who knows how many times. Moreover, this is also a kind of tempering. Although the feeling of his soul being torn apart is painful, it also allows his soul to be tempered.
If this continues for a long time, his spirit will become stronger and stronger. To give an example, his current soul is a piece of stone. If he continues to polish it like this, sooner or later it can be turned into a piece of fairy gold. When that time really comes, even a quasi-immortal emperor might not be able to tear apart the soul. This is a very terrifying thing. You must know that at the level of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, if you want to completely kill someone, you have to destroy his soul. If your spirit is so powerful that it can stand there and not be able to be refined by a quasi-immortal emperor, then isn't that a kind of innate invincibility? It is just like the Immortal Sutra. When a practitioner reaches perfection in his practice, it is impossible for the heaven to bury him and the earth to destroy him! Of course, the other party was exaggerating, but Feng Xi was not exaggerating at all. It was true that even a quasi-immortal emperor might not be able to break his defense. But these are just ideas at present. The reason for this idea is that Feng Xi really feels that his soul is becoming more and more resilient, but he himself does not know whether he can reach that level. But even if we can't reach that step, it is definitely a good thing that the soul becomes more and more resilient. Feng Xi had never thought at first that there would be such a benefit in moving forward and refining the Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit. This was an unexpected surprise, and an invisible reward for his current suffering. Feng Xi was trying to find joy in suffering because if he didn't think about the benefits, he was really afraid that he would not be able to endure this torture. Because it was so painful, his forehead bone cracked, his soul was torn apart, and then he refined the symbols in his soul and slowly recovered. After he recovered completely, he once again comprehended the Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit, and then his forehead bone cracked again, and his soul was torn apart again. This kind of pain would make other people collapse after experiencing it once, but Feng Xi has to experience it over and over again... No, Willow Goddess must give birth to ten children for him to justify the pain he is going through now. (End of this chapter)
