Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Huo Yunjie’s Sword, Breakthrough (Second Update)
Watching Qiao Jiaxi, aglow with golden light and able to hover in flight, Wang Ping’an, who was refining pills by the cliff’s edge, immediately widened his eyes in astonishment.
“Wow, Senior Brother Qiao, you can actually fly!”
Wang Ping’an took a deep breath, ready to offer his praise.
Whoosh!
Ye Feng instantly appeared beside Wang Ping’an, covering his mouth with his hand, “Alright, Ping An, no more talking.”
Wang Ping’an blinked, realizing that he nearly couldn’t help but start complimenting and was thankful that Sect Master Uncle reacted swiftly to cover his mouth.
The next moment, Ye Feng pulled out a face mask.
“Here, put this on.”
Ye Feng personally fitted the mask onto Wang Ping’an.
This wasn’t an ordinary mask but one that he obtained from making a small wish every day. It had many functions. For instance, once on, it prevented speaking, and one must remove it to talk.
“Mmmph!”
Wang Ping’an put on the mask, blinked, and then discovered that he indeed couldn’t speak anymore.
Though it felt a bit uncomfortable, it was still better than saying the wrong thing.
“Haha, I’m dying of laughter!” Long Tianxing saw the mask on Wang Ping’an and noticed the large “Shh” written on it, signifying the need for silence and to refrain from speaking too much.
“Sect Leader, we have returned,” Qiao Jiaxi ended the Tenfold Momentum State, unable to maintain the flight and reverted to his normal appearance.
Only by entering a Tenfold Momentum State or higher could he fly again.
He cupped his fist towards Ye Feng and said, “Dragon Brother and I have completed the Sect’s quest, and we are going to complete the handover of the task.”
“Go ahead,” Ye Feng nodded.
Afterward, Long Tianxing and Qiao Jiaxi hurried towards Feilai Peak to meet Chu Yun’er and execute the task handover.
Carrying the Cold Light Sword on his back, Huo Yunjie came forward, bowing deeply to Ye Feng, “Sect Leader, thank you for sending your guidance over a great distance. Without your advice, the three of us couldn’t have safely returned and gained the trust of the Sea People Tribe.”
“That was your own fortune,” Ye Feng said with a slight smile. “So, have you resolved your inner conflict?”
“Yes, it has been resolved. I am about to enter the Cultivation Tower to challenge the Illusionary Realm,” Huo Yunjie confirmed, nodding his head.
He remembered something and then placed ten Fire Dragon Fruits and several branches from a Fire Dragon Fruit tree on the table.
“These were gifts given to us by the Chief of the Sea People Tribe before we left. They are greatly beneficial for breaking into the Element Gathering Realm, and perhaps we can plant them on Misty Peak,” Huo Yunjie added.
“No need to explain, I already know,” Ye Feng patted Huo Yunjie’s shoulder. “Your Ruthless Sword Intent is quite good, make sure you use it well. Also, right now the most important thing is to pass the tests of the Cultivation Tower and strive to become a True Disciple as soon as possible.”
Huo Yunjie’s heart quivered.
He had not expected Ye Feng to know everything already.
“Alright, then I’ll go to the Cultivation Tower now.”
Huo Yunjie put away the Cold Light Sword and walked on air toward the nearby tower. Under the admiring gazes of everyone there, he reached the fifth floor’s Illusionary Realm.
“I’m finally back.”
“After this period of travel, I’m not sure if I’ve really resolved my inner conflict, but successful or not, I have to continue working hard.”
Before the archway, Huo Yunjie mused for a moment.
Then, he crossed the threshold into the archway.
“Click.” With a sound,
the golden light shattered, and Huo Yunjie was pushed back out.
In his view, the following line of text appeared.
“Congratulations, you have resolved your inner conflict.”
The golden text quickly disappeared.
With a smile on his lips, Huo Yunjie ascended to the sixth floor and stood before the treasure chest.
Creak!
The treasure chest opened to reveal nothing inside.
But soon, an overwhelming amount of light surged around it, like countless rays converging within the chest, solidifying into a simple three-foot-long sword.
A burst of frigid air violently erupted.
“A Middle-Grade Spiritual Artifact, Frost Sword.”
Holding the sword, Huo Yunjie could feel the frosty aura that complemented his Ruthless Sword Intent, and he quickly formed a bond with it.
Afterward, the sword was able to circle around him as if possessing an Artifact Spirit.
Atop Misty Peak,
Ye Feng looked towards the Cultivation Tower in surprise.
“A Middle-Grade Frost Sword with an Upper Rank Demon General’s spirit refined into its Artifact Spirit, capable of launching attacks autonomously… tsk, the value of this sword is at least a few thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones!”
Even Ye Feng felt envious.
In terms of value, the Frost Sword was not inferior to the Mini Banana Palm Fan.
The Cultivation Tower, seventh floor.
Huo Yunjie, carrying both the Cold Light Sword and the Frost Sword, stepped slowly onto this level and found a meditation cushion close to the north.
“I like the north because it’s cold.”
“Without enduring the bone-chilling cold, how can the fragrance of plum blossoms be so intoxicating?”
“Just like me, even with unexceptional talent, I also understand the value of diligent cultivation. Like the plum blossoms that endure the frost, only then can one emit a refreshing fragrance.”
Huo Yunjie placed the twin swords on his knees after taking them off.
And then, he began his cultivation practice.
Whirl!
The gifts of the Cultivation Tower began.
The spiritual energy from nature within the range of the four great peaks of the Misty Sect surged wildly, and after being purified by the Cultivation Tower and the Purifying Green Lotus, it turned into pure cultivation strength and poured into Huo Yunjie’s Qi Sea.
He could feel his Qi Sea rapidly expanding.
His True Yuan also grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Element Gathering Realm first level peak.
Element Gathering Realm second level!
Element Gathering Realm second level peak!
Huo Yunjie’s cultivation level surged all the way to here before finally coming to a stop.
He did not rush to break through to the third level of the Element Gathering Realm, but instead sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion, calmly consolidating his realm.
To go from the first level to the near third level of the Element Gathering Realm in one shot was quite a large leap.
“Ah, I regret it, I should have broken through to the peak of the first level of the Element Gathering Realm before coming here, then I could have directly entered the third level.”
Huo Yunjie felt somewhat regretful.
But since the breakthrough had been made, he let nature take its course.
In the future, he would continue to work hard; there was still a chance to reach the third level of the Element Gathering Realm.
Feilai Peak.
Qiao Jiaxi and Long Tianxing had already completed the task handover.
Looking at the distant Cultivation Tower, both of them felt envious.
“It seems that Second Senior Brother has already reached the seventh floor of the Cultivation Tower and gained a boost in his cultivation level. We also need to step up our efforts!”
“Yeah, I’m preparing to make a push for the Element Gathering Realm.”
The two walked shoulder to shoulder towards Misty Peak.
Long Tianxing came to the edge of the Spiritual Spring and sat cross-legged there, relying on the large amount of Fire Dragon Fruits ingested from the Sea People Tribe, he suddenly stimulated the medicinal power, purifying himself.
Hu hu…
The Purifying Green Lotus trembled slightly, and a petal from the blooming Blue Lotus slowly fell, turning into a drop of emerald green Spiritual Liquid, seeping into Long Tianxing’s forehead.
Hum!
He began to glow, radiate heat, and his body felt like it contained a furnace, erupting with a vigorous aura.
Whish!
Long Tianxing suddenly broke through the bottleneck, and the spiritual power in his meridians began to liquefy into True Yuan. As for the sea of consciousness in his forehead, nourished by the Purifying Green Lotus, it began to generate Spiritual Sense and he achieved success in one go.
Under the golden willow tree.
Ye Feng and Qiao Jiaxi looked towards the Spiritual Spring in astonishment, both sensing Long Tianxing’s breakthrough and feeling surprised.
They both believed Long Tianxing would successfully break through.
Just, they hadn’t anticipated he would succeed so quickly; among all the disciples in the Misty Sect at that moment, Long Tianxing was the fastest to break through to the Element Gathering Realm.
“Senior Brother Long has also broken through, now I have another goal for sparring,” Qiao Jiaxi said with a smile beaming across her face.
Ye Feng smiled and said, “Yeah, I didn’t expect Tian Xing to break through so smoothly. But, this is a good thing, no need for concern, we should celebrate.”
He turned to Qiao Jiaxi and said, “You came to see me about the subsequent Cultivation Technique, right?”
“Yes, that’s right,”
Qiao Jiaxi nodded, “I only received the first five levels of the ‘Ancient God Body Refining Technique: War General Chapter,’ and I lack the associated Vitality Type Spells… I was thinking, as the Sect Leader and a Great Master of Magic, you can surely help me deduce the subsequent techniques.”
“Don’t worry, I have already deduced them,” Ye Feng took out an ancient tome and placed it on the table.
This was the complete version of the ‘Ancient God Body Refining Technique: War General Chapter,’ sufficient for Qiao Jiaxi to cultivate all the way to the War General’s Peak.
Looking at this ancient tome, Qiao Jiaxi’s pupils contracted suddenly.
