Chapter 489: 12: Soul and Cultivation Both Break Through!

Chapter 489: Chapter 12: Soul and Cultivation Both Break Through!

Lin Feng sat cross-legged on his bed, circulating the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique as streams of Ancient Dragon Elephant Power flowed within his body, nourishing it.

The room was set up with a Spirit Array by Lin Feng, and it was piled with a great quantity of high-grade Spiritual Stones.

The entire room was suffused with a rich concentration of Spiritual Energy.

Billows of Spiritual Energy surged into Lin Feng’s body and were absorbed, merging with him.

While Lin Feng was absorbing the Spiritual Energy within the room, the Heavenly Star Soul Jade he wore at his waist also emitted pure bursts of energy that entered Lin Feng’s body and were absorbed by his soul.

The Heavenly Star Soul Jade could draw upon the Moon Essence that cultivators couldn’t normally absorb.

And Moon Essence was the best nourishment for the soul, capable of significantly enhancing Soul Power.

As the Moon Essence from within the Heavenly Star Soul Jade was absorbed by Lin Feng’s soul, his Soul Power rapidly increased.

Lin Feng had worn the Heavenly Star Soul Jade for quite some time now.

Contained within the Heavenly Star Soul Jade was an extremely astonishing level of Moon Essence, which Lin Feng absorbed daily during his cultivation.

His Soul Power had greatly increased.

“Boom…”

Time passed without his knowing, and Lin Feng felt as if his Soul Power had reached some kind of sublimation.

A powerful Soul Power surged forth in his mind.

Lin Feng revealed a look of surprise; his soul level had finally broken through again, achieving the Eighth Layer of the Yin Yang Realm.

Lin Feng began to familiarize himself slowly with that strong Soul Power.

The importance of Soul Power to Lin Feng was unquestionable.

Firstly, Lin Feng was a Spirit Array Master, as well as an Alchemist. To become a powerful Spirit Array Master or Alchemist, one must possess a potent Soul Power, far surpassing cultivators of the same level; this was a prerequisite.

Secondly, Lin Feng had cultivated the soul-annihilating move, “Soul Miniature wielding the sword.”

This Soul Secret Skill could even cleave through the Protective Gang Qi of those in the Martial King Realm, which showed its formidable power.

The stronger the Soul Power, the more powerful the execution of the secret technique, “Soul Miniature wielding the sword,” would be.

Lastly, the soul is the place where “thought” is generated.

Some people are “as cunning as a demon,” able to instantly understand many complex matters, or comprehend secret manuals that others can’t fathom with just a glance. Why is that? It has a great relationship with the power of the soul.

The stronger the soul, the deeper the “wisdom,” and the ability to discern matters, often seeing doubts that others cannot perceive.

…

Time slowly passed.

…

Time passed again, and Lin Feng felt his True Qi start to become more powerful.

“My True Qi is about to transform,” Lin Feng showed a delighted expression.

During this period, Lin Feng had gone through one life-and-death battle after another.

His cultivation had long reached the brink of advancement.

Now, after absorbing a large amount of Spiritual Energy, at last, Lin Feng’s strength broke through once more.

“Boom…”

Streams of vigorous True Qi began to surge within his body, as if transforming into a great river of True Qi, roaring incessantly.

Lin Feng’s True Qi was continuously condensing and densifying.

Every strand of True Qi contained even more formidable power.

The river of True Qi surged within his body, flowing into every meridian.

Finally, all the True Qi converged in his Dantian.

Lin Feng’s cultivation underwent an instant transformation.

A mighty force burst forth within his body in an instant.

Lin Feng’s strength surged from wielding “15,625 Dragon Elephant Power” to “78,125 Dragon Elephant Power.”

One Dragon Elephant Power equaled the strength of ten dragons.

Thus, Lin Feng’s strength was equivalent to 781,250 dragons’ power.

With Five Devouring Martial Souls in operation, Lin Feng’s power amounted to 3,906,250 dragons’ giant force.

This breakthrough to the Eighth Layer Heaven of the Martial General Realm had significantly increased Lin Feng’s cultivation.

But the most critical improvement was to the soul.

The Soul Secret Skill of the Soul Miniature brandishing a sword was so formidable that even the strongest of the Tenth Level of Martial King Realm found it difficult to withstand.

…

Having spent several days in Star Cloud Pavilion, on this particular day, Lin Feng, Yu Fan, and Han Shuo purchased some essentials for entering the Pavilion, and as the three returned to the inn, they encountered Lan Yang, Lan Qianqian, Guu Jun, Guu Xin’er, and Sun Yaya.

“You actually came back alive,” Sun Yaya exclaimed in disbelief.

Lin Feng had no particular affinity for Sun Yaya and couldn’t be bothered with her.

As for Yu Fan and Han Shuo, they too ignored Sun Yaya, and seeing herself being disregarded, Sun Yaya’s expression promptly turned unsightly.

Lan Yang and his sister Lan Qianqian felt somewhat awkward as they looked toward Lin Feng, Yu Fan, and Han Shuo.

Lan Yang said, “Seeing that you’ve arrived safely at Star Cloud City truly makes us happy.”

Lan Qianqian said, “About what happened before, we are really sorry.”

Yu Fan laughed gently, magnanimously stating, “It’s fine, all that is in the past now.”

Though Yu Fan said this, his tone clearly conveyed distance.

Yu Fan wouldn’t blame anyone who left because encountering the Black-clothed Death Soldiers involved a matter of life and death.

It was quite normal to leave to save one’s own life.

But clearly, the incident let Yu Fan know who was worth his time and friendship, and who wasn’t.

Someone willing to stay with you and face danger is the type of person you can entrust your life to.

Someone who leaves you in the face of danger is not worth the time and emotional investment.

Lan Qianqian asked, “What did you guys experience after that?”

Lin Feng spoke indifferently, “We were lucky, we ran into a senior member of the Star Cloud Pavilion. When they heard we were cultivators heading for the Star Cloud Pavilion to take the test, they took action and drove those black-clothed men away.”

“I see, you were really fortunate. We thought you might have died at the hands of those black-clothed men and even considered whether to burn some paper money for you.”

Guu Jun’s sarcastic tone was clear in his voice.

Lin Feng looked coldly at Guu Jun and kicked him, sending Guu Jun flying over ten meters.

With a plop, Guu Jun fell to the ground in a very sorry state.

His face was twisted in agony as he bellowed, “How dare you hit me?”

Smack.

The reply to Guu Jun was a fierce slap.

Guu Jun was sent flying four or five meters by Lin Feng’s slap.

His face was almost ruined by Lin Feng’s powerful strike.

Lin Feng’s icy gaze fell upon Guu Jun: “Hit you? Keep spouting nonsense like that, and believe it or not, I’ll kill you?”

At that moment, Guu Jun remembered Lin Feng’s formidable strength, his complexion changed slightly, and he was too scared to speak.

…

In times of peril, abandoning companions to save oneself alone.

Such conduct clearly indicated they weren’t people to entrust one’s life with or to rely on at crucial moments.

Upon meeting again, they were nothing more than strangers.

“We have other matters to attend to, so we’ll take our leave here.”

Lin Feng nodded toward Lan Yang and Lan Qianqian, then left with Yu Fan and Han Shuo.

Lan Yang and Lan Qianqian couldn’t help but sigh softly, sensing the alienation from Lin Feng, Yu Fan, and Han Shuo.

At that moment, Lan Yang and Lan Qianqian realized that their choice to leave might become the most regrettable decision of their lifetime, the feeling was so intense.

If they could do it all over again, Lan Yang and Lan Qianqian told themselves they would never choose to leave.

But in life, there are no do-overs.
