Chapter 317: Chapter 317: The Misty Sect Returns to Calm, Visitors Arrive
Devouring Heavenly Thunder!
This was something countless cultivators did not even dare to think about.
When facing the Heavenly Thunder, cultivators typically used formations, Lightning Avoidance Umbrellas, Lightning Avoidance Covers, and other spiritual artifacts to resist.
As for absorbing it?
Even the pure Thunder Cultivators did not dare to be so bold, at most they would devour a portion of the Heavenly Thunder to strengthen their Thunder Origin within their bodies.
But Princess Hu Feifei was too fierce!
She wanted it all!
“Ha, it feels so good!”
After absorbing the force of the first thunderbolt, Princess Hu Feifei felt an exhilarating sensation from the depths of her soul, and couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Boom…
The Tribulation Cloud seemed to be angered by Princess Hu Feifei’s audacity, roaring in protest.
Crack!
The second wave of thunder struck.
This time, there were two bolts.
But Princess Hu Feifei stretched out her arms and devoured them both.
Then, she belched contentedly.
Rumble…
The Tribulation Cloud grew even more furious.
The third wave, the fourth wave…
Numerous thunderbolts struck down, each wave increasing by one thunderbolt, but even by the ninth wave, when nine thunderbolts struck at the same time, they were still all absorbed by Princess Hu Feifei.
From then on, the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation dissipated.
No matter how unwilling the Tribulation Cloud was, it could only vanish.
Hum!
Having absorbed all the Heavenly Thunder, Princess Hu Feifei began to transform; first, she grew taller, her figure became more explosive, and her charm more bewitching.
Every smile and frown could cause a surge in one’s blood.
As for her aura, it was mediocre, giving the illusion that one was facing an ordinary fox lady.
“Ding, Princess Hu Feifei has successfully promoted to a Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact, with a battle strength equivalent to the eighth level of the Spirit Sea Realm in her normal state,” the System announced.
“A Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact with only the standard of the Spirit Sea Realm eightfold?”
Ye Feng was somewhat disappointed.
But upon reflection, he understood.
In her normal state, Princess Hu Feifei was only at the eighth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, but once she entered the First Combat State, she could definitely reach the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm.
In the Second Combat State, she should be able to reach the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm.
As for the level Princess Hu Feifei could reach in the Third Combat State, Ye Feng was not too sure, but he felt she could at least come infinitely close to the Divine Origin Realm.
“After all, Princess Hu Feifei is just a Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact, she can’t surpass the limit of the Spirit Sea Realm, but if she could elevate to a Spiritual Treasure above the Spiritual Artifact, then she would definitely be able to wield the power of the Divine Origin Realm,” Ye Feng murmured.
At this moment, Princess Hu Feifei descended from the sky.
She stood in front of Ye Feng, no longer having the cutest height difference, but now much taller than before, standing at about one meter seventy-five, with a taller figure and more allure than before.
In her eyes shimmered a light of wisdom.
“You’ve become smarter,” Ye Feng whispered.
“I’ve always been smart,” Princess Hu Feifei replied with a smile that possessed a hint of maturity and seductiveness compared to her previous naive charm, making her even more eye-catching.
“Congratulations to the protector for advancing to the Divine Origin Realm,” Gong Qingqiu approached the peak and said with folded hands.
“I haven’t broken through to the Divine Origin Realm,” Princess Hu Feifei shook her head, “If we’re talking about cultivation level, I’m now at the standard of the Spirit Sea Realm eightfold.”
“You haven’t broken through to the Divine Origin Realm?” Gong Qingqiu expressed her astonishment.
That was the fearsome Nine Heavens Thunder, typically associated with the breakthrough to the Divine Origin Realm.
But now, the Thunder Tribulation was not caused by Princess Hu Feifei’s advancement to the Divine Origin Realm; it was merely a breakthrough to the Spirit Sea Realm eightfold.
Wait!
Spirit Sea Realm eightfold?
Is Princess Hu Feifei that strong?
Gong Qingqiu quickly realized this point and her almond eyes widened with incredulity.
She had always thought Princess Hu Feifei was at the third level of the Spirit Sea Realm.
Who would have thought that in such a short time, the other party would face a tribulation in front of countless people, and then advance to the Spirit Sea Realm eightfold.
“`
Looking over the entire Southern River Basin, such a cultivation level is indeed among the top, able to be counted on one’s fingers.
With Princess Hu Feifei presiding, Misty Sect is fortified as solid as gold.
Unless faced with a Spirit Sea Realm peak or a Divine Origin Realm cultivator, nobody could cause trouble here.
“Although Princess has not yet broken through to the Divine Origin Realm, her strength already belongs to the strongest under it. Even facing the Alliance Leader Mo Tianlong, the Sect Master of the Divine Wind Sword Sect, or the City Lord of County King City, she possesses the power to fight,” Ye Feng said, confident.
He didn’t know Princess Hu Feifei’s true strength.
But he had witnessed her formidable power when she previously used the Third Combat State, and with the foundation of the eight levels of the Spirit Sea Realm, dealing with any formidable enemy below the Divine Origin Realm shouldn’t be a problem.
That’s why he dared to speak like this.
Hearing this, Gong Qingqiu was even more astonished.
Princess Hu Feifei had actually reached the level of a Sect Master of top Two-Star Forces!
This… was too strong!
Gong Qingqiu looked at Princess Hu Feifei, and seeing her not objecting but indifferently acknowledging, he immediately knew that Ye Feng was telling the truth.
“With a protector presiding, this is indeed fortunate for our Misty Sect!” Gong Qingqiu exclaimed with emotion.
Ye Feng nodded and said, “Now that the protector has finished her tribulation, it’s time for the sect to return to normal. Elder Gong, from now on you will lead the Second-generation Disciples in their cultivation, and you must lay a solid foundation for their practice.”
“Yes,” Gong Qingqiu replied as he stepped back.
Ye Feng was very reassured about this Outer Sect Elder.
Plus, since Ye Feng had already distributed tens of thousands of Spirit Stones to Gong Qingqiu, there was no need to worry about the sect’s finances for now.
“Tens of thousands of Spirit Stones should be enough to keep the sect running smoothly for quite a while,” Ye Feng muttered to himself.
With these Spirit Stones, purchasing elixirs, spiritual medicines, Spirit Eye Liquid, Auxiliary Cultivation Methods, spells, and spirit materials would be no problem.
In the afternoon.
The residence of the Second-generation Disciples on the north side of Misty Peak.
“Yay, I’ve unlocked Spirit Eyes!”
“Me too.”
“So that’s what a Spiritual Energy Vortex looks like, wow! The vortexes above Spirit Beast Peak and our own Misty Peak are so huge!”
The Second-generation Disciples had successively unlocked their Spirit Eyes.
In fact, on the very night they arrived at the Misty Sect, Gong Qingqiu had already taken out the prepared Spirit Eye Liquid and had those disciples who had not yet begun cultivation wash their eyes.
“Today, we start the first cultivation session.”
Gong Qingqiu led the way, “Next, follow me to the Elders’ Hall at Feilai Peak.”
“Yes,” Xu Dalei and the other disciples quickly followed.
In front of the Elders’ Hall.
This place had been expanded into a large platform tens of meters long and several meters wide along the edge of the peak using rocks.
Gong Qingqiu sat cross-legged on a cushion, instructing the disciples.
“Our Misty Sect has two Basic Cultivation Techniques, namely “Five Qi Dynasty Yuan” and “Nine-Turn Heavenly God Technique”. You are all familiar with the former; it’s a Qi Refinement technique commonly used on the Shenzhou Continent.”
“As for the latter, it specializes in cultivating Divine Sense Power.”
“However, the cultivation of “Nine-Turn Heavenly God Technique” is very difficult—unless one has exceptional comprehension or is naturally suited to this method. Otherwise, it’s best to focus on cultivating “Five Qi Dynasty Yuan”.”
With this, Gong Qingqiu took out the ancient cultivation methods.
Seeing “Nine-Turn Heavenly God Technique”, the disciples’ eyes lit up.
Mu Sisi, the disciple with the highest talent, raised her hand and said, “Elder, may I give it a try?”
“Certainly, but let me finish first,” Gong Qingqiu nodded, “Currently, the “Nine-Turn Heavenly God Technique” is incomplete. It can only be cultivated to the six-stage peak equivalent to the Element Gathering Realm peak and should be used as an Auxiliary Cultivation Method.”
With that said, she flipped the ancient book open.
Hum!
A burst of golden light emerged from the book, converging into text in mid-air, while Gong Qingqiu also opened the first page of “Five Qi Dynasty Yuan”, to educate the disciples who had not yet begun cultivation.
Watching the Second-generation Disciples officially embark on the path of cultivation from the summit of Misty Peak, Ye Feng felt gratified.
“Improve your cultivation diligently; the stronger you become, the stronger I will be,” Ye Feng muttered to himself, his lips curling into a slight smile.
“Sect Master Ye, I’m here again!”
A coquettish shout came from a distance.
Without turning around, Ye Feng knew who it was and said, “Daoist Xie, how come you have the time to come over?”
As he turned around, Ye Feng saw Xie Jiaren.
And then, he was stunned.
Because Xie Jiaren was not alone.
There was another person with her—a stunningly beautiful woman in white, with a unique aura.
The Sword Child from the Divine Wind Sword Sect, Mu Ruxue!
