Chapter 476: Chapter 476: The Benefits of the Spirit Gathering Tower, A Complete Crushing Battle
Ye Feng stood at the base of the Spirit Gathering Tower.
After a moment of thought, he simply sat down on the Lapis Stone that bore the inscription “Exclusive to the Sect Leader”.
“Greetings to the Sect Leader!”
As the disciples arrived, they greeted Ye Feng respectfully and politely, showing great reverence.
“The density of spiritual energy in the Spirit Gathering Tower increases from the lower to the higher levels, starting with a fivefold spirit energy density. If your cultivation level isn’t high enough, try not to ascend to the upper floors to avoid the overwhelming spiritual pressure inside.”
Ye Feng reminded them.
“Thank you for the guidance, Sect Leader.”
The disciples bowed with fists clasped and entered the Spirit Gathering Tower one after another.
Inside the tower.
The disciples discovered that the interior was a place of its own, vast and spacious. Each level contained a hundred small chambers, sufficient for cultivation.
They quickly located available chambers, entered, closed the doors, and found that the formations activated automatically, increasing the density of nature’s spiritual energy inside the chambers.
Furthermore, when they sat cross-legged on the meditation cushions to cultivate, they found themselves feeling refreshed and easily entering a state of cultivation.
Additionally, their cultivation speed had increased several times faster than usual.
The difficulty of breaking through bottlenecks had also significantly decreased.
“What a marvelous Spirit Gathering Tower!”
The disciples got excited, immediately closing their eyes to continue cultivating.
This was their first encounter with such cultivation assistance, and they wished they could eat, drink, and attend to all their needs inside the Spirit Gathering Tower.
One year of cultivating inside the tower was equivalent to several years of cultivating outside.
If one continued to ascend and reach those chambers where the spirit energy density was higher, the cultivation speed could become much faster, even reaching ten or twenty times or more.
One year of cultivating might be equivalent to ten years for others.
“Spirit Gathering Tower, how interesting!”
Mo Ying had just returned from her trials outside and learned that she had been nominated to the “Prodigies List,” temporarily ranking thirtieth.
“Perfect, I’ll use the Spirit Gathering Tower to improve my cultivation speed and strive to break through my realm sooner.”
She entered the Spirit Gathering Tower and, relying on her own sensitivity to spiritual energy, made her way to the fourth floor, finding that the energy here was as dense as over tenfold. The comprehensive increase in cultivation speed was nearly ten times.
Of course, the spiritual pressure here was substantial.
If her cultivation level hadn’t been high enough, she certainly wouldn’t have been able to withstand it.
“It seems, the higher the cultivation level, the faster the speed of improvement. The higher it is, the easier it becomes to cultivate.”
Mo Ying’s eyes shone brightly.
With her current cultivation level, the speed of cultivating inside the Cultivation Tower was no longer very fast.
Now, with the Spirit Gathering Tower, she saw an opportunity to accelerate her cultivation level advancement.
Huo Yunjie, Ji Ziling, Wang Ping’an, Shi Lei, and other disciples also came upon hearing the news and entered the third and fourth floors of the Spirit Gathering Tower.
Here, they experienced a cultivation speed increase many times greater than before, and they were so thrilled that they did not even want to leave.
“Cultivate diligently and strive to improve your cultivation realm. Only then can my strength be further enhanced,” Ye Feng mused.
…
Whitefloat City.
The news about Xiao Fangu challenging Dong Qiang had spread far and wide, attracting the attention of many cultivators.
“What do you think, will Dong Qiang lose?”
“I don’t have a deep impression of Dong Qiang. I heard he was lackluster in talent before, and there was nothing noteworthy about him. Could it be that he got some kind of opportunity, which is why his strength has surged?”
“Most likely!”
“By the way, Xiao Fangu, as the challenger, is not very strong, but he’s quite famous.”
“What do you mean?”
“You don’t know about that?”
“Back then, Xiao Fangu was a genius disciple of the Misty Sect. Later, he caught the eye of an elder from Qingyun Sect, left the Misty Sect, and even took the Xuan Ye Flying Sword with him.”
“And then?”
“And then? Don’t you know? Xiao Fangu once challenged Huo Yunjie but was suppressed, hahaha!”
“Now I remember. During the Divine Wind Sword Sect’s Sword Child promotion ceremony, Xiao Fangu challenged Huo Yunjie and was still suppressed, hahaha!”
“Is that really true?”
“Truly, absolutely. I’d be a dog if I lied to you.”
By now, many cultivators had converged atop the mountain peaks near Whitefloat City, some gathered together, discussing among themselves.
Others were digging up ancient tales, widely spreading them around.
Above the sky.
Listening to the people’s discussions, Xiao Fangu’s face turned ashen.
“Huo Yunjie… Humph!”
Xiao Fangu clenched his fists.
He admitted to himself that the gap between him and Huo Yunjie was growing wider, and to this day, he could no longer see his back.
This sense of powerlessness deeply struck Xiao Fangu.
“Don’t be discouraged, Junior Brother Xiao. I believe you can do it,” Xi Xinyu hurriedly comforted him.
Xiao Fangu’s spirits lifted slightly.
The two lowered their heads, looked down below, and waited for Dong Qiang’s arrival.
“Xiao Fangu, where are you?” Before long, a young voice came through, followed by a young man with an ordinary appearance and small eyes, striding through the air.
Behind him were many Liuyun Sect disciples.
Included among them was the round-faced female disciple, Pang Haiyun.
As for Xin Guangxuan, he stood shoulder to shoulder with Baihua Xiao at the summit of a Floating Mountain Peak, looking below.
As for Ye Feng, he sat in a deck chair beside them, looking down with an air of utter boredom.
Had he not been truly bored today, Ye Feng could not be bothered to watch Xiao Fangu’s challenge against Dong Qiang.
“Sect Master Ye, who do you think will win?”
Baihua Xiao slightly bowed and asked in a soft voice.
Although she was Xin Guangxuan’s Dual Cultivation Companion, and Xin Guangxuan had a good friendship with Ye Feng, she still had to approach Ye Feng with caution, as he was the imposing Sect Master Ye who held sway over the Mystique Kingdom and a Great Power of the Divine Origin Realm.
“Dong Qiang is most likely to win,”
said Ye Feng.
Others might not see it, but he could clearly tell that Dong Qiang was very strong. If placed in the Misty Sect, he would be powerful enough to dominate ninety percent of the disciples.
Of course, with his current strength, Dong Qiang was no match for the likes of Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, Long Tianxing, or Qiao Jiaxi.
In the high sky.
“Dong Qiang, you’ve finally arrived. I, Xiao Fangu, a True Disciple of Qingyun Sect, at the peak of Element Gathering Realm’s second level, today, challenge you, the genius ranked ninety-first on the prodigy rankings.”
“Between us, we’ll only determine who is superior, not life and death.”
Xiao Fangu declared loudly.
He had no intention of a fight to the death with Dong Qiang.
Although confident in defeating Dong Qiang, he was aware that sparring was different from a life-and-death battle; a slip could easily result in his downfall.
Thus, he purposely mentioned they were only distinguishing skill levels.
The purpose was to remind Dong Qiang that this was a spar, not a duel to the death, urging him not to strike mercilessly.
“No problem,” Dong Qiang nodded.
He stood suspended in midair, his fists clenched, arms hanging naturally, his eyes bright and focused, watching Xiao Fangu from a distance.
“You make a move!”
Dong Qiang gave Xiao Fangu the chance to attack first, realizing that his opponent’s cultivation level wasn’t high.
“Are you belittling me?” Xiao Fangu’s face changed, “Heh, you think you can look down on others just because you’re ranked ninety-first on the prodigy rankings? Take this, the Nine-Turn Green Light Sword!”
Xiao Fangu’s left hand formed a spell while his right wielded the sword, striking down with all his might.
Rip!
As soon as this green sword light appeared, it rotated continuously nine times, each spin increasing its power by fifty percent. By the end, the sword light’s power was almost five times stronger, quite formidable.
“Is that all?”
Dong Qiang blinked, his face showing no fear, merely raising his golden fist and landing it on the sword light.
Crack!
The sword light crumbled apart.
The onlookers were all dumbstruck by this sight.
Especially Xiao Fangu, who was completely taken aback.
That was his strongest sword strike, comparable to Fourth Grade Spells in power, yet it was broken just like that?
This was entirely different from what he had expected!
