Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 274 I am the only one who dominates
Under the medicinal effects of the Heavenly Udumbara Flower, Xu Feng has already begun to grasp the eighth level of contemplation, 'Image Contemplation,' in the past two months.

Although the golden Buddha statues in the Pure Land were somewhat blurry and indistinct, this initial glimpse into the practice allowed him to develop many wonderful methods.

With just a thought, one can be protected by a sixteen-foot-tall golden Buddha with extremely high defensive power.

—This protective golden Buddha can easily block a nuclear explosion at extremely close range.

As long as the Pure Land endures, the sixteen-foot golden Buddha will remain forever.

In addition, after entering the eighth level of meditation, Xu Feng naturally mastered the "Bodhi Enlightenment Divine Skill".

—The five forms of the Bodhi Dharma Proof Divine Power are all 'permanent forms', and the 'Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Form' that is ultimately achieved is essentially the same as the 'Golden Buddha Statue' of the Eighth Contemplation.

This improvement made it easier for Xu Feng to realize his vision.

Xu Feng first spent several days refining the Village Rain.

Add some materials to the knife and adjust some runes.

Subsequently.

When Sakurai Mei used Murasame's secret technique with her sword again, her aura became completely different from before—the red and black runes on her body turned gold.

Compared to the form she used two months ago, this form of hers has less of an evil killing intent and more of a peaceful demeanor.

But her current strength is clearly a level higher than it was two months ago.

His strength, speed, and defense are all far superior to what they were two months ago; his stats in all aspects are even stronger than those of Park Chang-ho when he transformed into a dragon and unlocked his second-tier gene lock.

"As expected, my guess was right!"

Xu Feng said happily, "The Dharma Form can replace the Demon Blade's Will in Murasame, but the Dharma Form is not actually necessary! The essence of this secret technique is to use accumulated energy to amplify oneself. It is mainly divided into three parts: accumulating energy, transmitting energy, and amplification method."

"By simply adjusting the way energy is accumulated, the runes in the Demon Blade's secret technique that conduct energy and amplify the user's energy can be used by me, allowing Mei to draw upon the power I have stored up in advance!"

In theory, this technique did not enhance the overall strength of the Donghai team.

Mei Sakurai's power was ultimately 'borrowed' from Hsu Feng.

But in Xu Feng's view, this technique is of great significance.

This allows him to be a little more unrestrained in future reincarnation worlds—in previous reincarnation worlds, he was somewhat constrained in making many decisions in order to protect teammates whose strength was far inferior to his.

"The next development direction is to adjust the structure for storing true energy, so that Mei can use this move without me having to be distracted, as long as enough true energy is injected in advance!"

In fact, the original ability of the demon sword to accumulate soul power through killing has not been lost.

He transferred this ability to the scabbard and combined it with Hachifusa's.

After the Buddha's power in the sword is exhausted, Mei can use the original secret technique through the scabbard.

For the next year or so, Xu Feng spent his time practicing meditation and conducting research.

On this day, the time for Renbang's exchange ended, and the Flower Monk, whose strength had greatly increased, found Xu Feng with his five Creators.

"team leader."

Renbang respectfully performed a Buddhist salute. "As we approach our return, I have a question I must ask. Before entering the reincarnation world of 'The Ghostly Curse,' Captain, what level of the 'Sixteen Contemplations Sutra' can you cultivate to?"

Xu Feng scrutinized the frivolous monk.

This monk has a great talent for Buddhist cultivation. Although he was very slow to get started, he never encountered any bottlenecks in his cultivation process and has now reached the Foundation Establishment stage!
"We're about halfway through the ninth floor."

Xu Feng was certain that he could reach the eighth level within this five-year cycle—the main credit goes to the two top-tier natural treasures, the Peaches of Immortality and the Udumbara Flower from the Heavenly Realm.

The Udumbara flower in the celestial realm is extremely suitable for Buddhist cultivation. The special substances it contains allow Xu Feng to experience a sense of sudden enlightenment even during normal cultivation. According to Xu Feng's estimation, with the help of two rare and precious materials, it will only take him a little over three years to cultivate to the eighth level.

This time, the redemption period is more than five years long and won't be used up.

In addition, after this round ends, he can ask Shirakawa Nagi to help him exchange again. He has almost no use for the more than 70,000 reward points he has, and some of them can be exchanged for a period of time. With that time, even if he cannot achieve the Ninth View, he can still go very far in the Ninth Level.

"The ninth floor..."

Renbang remained silent for a long time.

He knew Xu Feng was very strong, and not at all on the same level as the other members of the Donghai team, but only now did he have a very clear understanding of this!
Other members of the East China Sea team who practiced the Amitabha Sutra only reached the first or second level... but this team leader went straight to the ninth level!
"Based on my experience with several reincarnation worlds, the strength of the BOSS-level monsters in those worlds is roughly the same as the captain's. This shouldn't be a coincidence. Theoretically speaking, the evil spirits in 'The Curse of the Demoness' are no weaker than the captain!"

Renbang said worriedly, "I've watched the movie dozens of times recently; it's divided into three parts, and if I'm not mistaken, at least two of them are related to our East Sea team's current situation... For example, the Greatsword Warriors. In the normal world, these warriors would be our helpers, or at the very least, they could test the monsters' abilities. But in 'The Curse of the Ghost Woman,' perhaps they will become the monsters' allies!" "That's possible," Xu Feng said. "Perhaps the God chose this cycle of reincarnation for us precisely because we relied too much on the warriors' power."

He then asked, "What is the master planning to do by saying all this?"

Renbang opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only sighed.

Xu Feng deciphered Ren Bang's plan and sensed his hesitation.

But he didn't say anything either.

It wasn't until Renbang was about to return to the Main God Space that Xu Feng finally spoke up and asked, "Master, the bloodline you originally planned to exchange for was the Mythical Zoan type Buddha Fruit from One Piece, right?"

Renbang nodded.

After Xu Feng enhanced his Swallow Fruit, he became extremely powerful. The other members of the East Blue Team inevitably tried to find out his enhancement path. Ren Bang noticed the Buddha Fruit while learning about the Swallow Fruit.

He immediately took a liking to this ability.

He then said, "Actually, the Buddha Fruit is not my primary target this time. Before that ability is developed, it is unlikely to be effective against ghosts and monsters. With the upcoming 'Ghost Girl Curse,' even if I have more side quests, I will not strengthen this ability."

"This ability is good, but the starting point is too high. Even the most basic Buddha Fruit requires a B-level side story," Xu Feng commented.

"Hopefully, the Master can get another B-level side quest in the next game."

Having cultivated to his current level, Xu Feng has begun to explore the true nature of Devil Fruits.

The information contained in the enhancement of the Buddha Fruit might allow him to draw inferences from other cases. Moreover, in One Piece, Zoan-type Devil Fruits can be replicated through biotechnology. After obtaining the genetic sequence of the Buddha Fruit, he might be able to use it to mass-produce some special cannon fodder.

"I think rather than hoping for a lot of side quests, I'd rather hope the next challenge is easier..."

Renbang smiled and bowed again.

After the ceremony, the person returned to the main divine space.

Shortly after.

Xu Feng then sent Xiangzi and Mei back to the Main God Space.

Xiangzi cultivated the Amitabha Sutra to build her foundation, but after several more years of cultivation, she was still stuck at the threshold of the third view... Even though she tried various methods to accelerate her progress, the difficulty of cultivating the S-level technique made it difficult for her to cultivate quickly.

However, as she continued to cultivate the second insight, her mental strength and psychic power continued to increase.

This made Xiangzi less focused on the spiritual realm of the Amitabha Sutra; her core abilities lay in spiritual power and mental power.

During this time, Mei has been training as a shrine maiden, deeply exploring the special characteristics of spiritual energy, and striving to make herself more resilient so that she can absorb more energy from Xu Feng.

And she has made pretty good progress during this period.

After the rest of the Donghai team left, Xu Feng recalled the strength of his teammates, who could no longer improve before entering the "Ghost Girl Curse".

"The gap is too big!"

"Even though I've spent so much effort helping them become stronger, there's still a two-level gap between them and me!"

"In the cycle of reincarnation, they can hardly serve the purpose of testing the enemy's abilities anymore!"

Xu Feng used trading tactics to extract reward points from his teammates for many reasons.

The main reason is that he doesn't feel guilty about using this method to get reward points from his teammates. After all, if those who died in the cycle of reincarnation don't give him reward points and instead exchange them for weapons directly from the main god, their strength will only become weaker, and they will still die in the cycle of reincarnation.

Secondly, it's important to prevent things from going wrong – forcing farming could easily lead to trouble, and things could end up very badly for you.

Then you can use equipment with backdoors to control your teammates.

Another key reason is to let teammates test the enemy. The abilities of the strong in the cycle of reincarnation are all kinds of strange and wonderful. Even if you have the strength to crush monsters, you may be restrained and killed in the cycle of reincarnation because of the monsters' strange abilities.

Only when teammates are strong enough can they probe the monster and trigger potential "landmines".

Unfortunately, his current teammates are now far behind him... Sending these teammates to test against strong opponents of his level will likely make it difficult for them to discover the monster's core abilities, and they will most likely be killed by the monster's casual basic attacks.

"From now on, I can only rely on myself!"
