Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 276 Ready
Xu Feng never adheres to the classification of main gods when looking at various props.

As long as it can be understood, even items defined as magical artifacts are technological weapons in Xu Feng's eyes; even some idealistic knowledge can be called science as long as a theory can be summarized.

The three sets of technological weapons created during this intermission all used magical legendary items or technologies as their core, and were not purely technological weapons.

Furthermore, these three sets of super-large equipment can also serve as accessories for Xu Feng's 'legendary magical abilities'.

The solar energy harvesting system can increase his endurance, allowing him to unleash moves like the "Buddha's Palm" without restraint.

The Star Destroyer can merge with him using the Devourer-Devourer Fruit, achieving a human-ship unity and inflicting double damage.

The Earthquake Oscillation Device can amplify the power of the "Buddha's Palm".

In fact, Xu Feng did not think these three sets of weapons would be useful in the next battle. The space and time rhythm of "The Cursed Ghost Girl" made it difficult for him to have the opportunity to deploy these three huge combat systems. Their significance lies in the future.

Before the next team battle, it will be difficult for him to obtain such a huge amount of reward points again, and there will be no qualitative improvement in the short term.

If you don't prepare for future team battles with this massive amount of reward points, you'll run into trouble when you encounter truly strong opponents.

What truly determines his life or death in the next cycle of reincarnation is the result of his cultivation in each subsequent cycle.

Shirakawa Nagi exchanged for him for more than four years, and Xu Feng himself exchanged for more than 70,000 points for nearly twenty years... This was a long time, and Xu Feng never slacked off in his cultivation every day.

With the help of the top-grade natural treasure, the Bodhi Fruit, Xu Feng's progress in the ninth realm is very encouraging.

The "True Body Contemplation" in the Sixteen Contemplations Sutra of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is roughly divided into three stages. The breadth of cultivation in each stage is 84,000 times that of the previous stage, starting from the most subtle light and continuing until the complete form of Amitabha Buddha is fully contemplated.

Without innate wisdom, the time required to reach perfection in cultivation is extremely long.

The Buddha-heart Bodhi Fruit allowed Xu Feng to observe 84,000 kinds of the most basic Buddha light during his four years of scientific research.

The second stage then involves visualizing the 'subtle beauty' composed of Buddha's light.

Each "good" is composed of 84,000 kinds of light, but it does not mean that visualizing "subtle good" will take 84,000 times more time than visualizing "light" in the first stage. If the foundation is solid enough, many troubles can be avoided.

Xu Feng consumed four top-grade rare and precious herbs. The medicinal power accumulated in his body and the transformation of his body by the rare and precious herbs allowed him to maintain a fairly fast speed in the second stage of meditation.

After mastering the first stage, it took Xu Feng more than sixteen years to complete the second stage of the Ninth View.

For the remaining four years, Xu Feng contemplated several thousand of the eighty-four thousand aspects of the final stage of the Ninth Contemplation, improving upon each aspect.

After observing the Buddha's light and following its form, Xu Feng's overall realm did not improve much, but he was able to do many incredible things.

Now, when he uses the Tathagata Palm, he can strike a large area with a single palm strike, but only those with malicious intent will be attacked. This ability does not require his active control. Understanding the true meaning of 'Buddha's Light' allows him to naturally achieve this 'idealistic' thing.

Besides rare and precious materials, Xu Feng also spent this time exploring other methods to aid his cultivation.

For example, he popularized 'virtual illusions' in the world of Akame ga Kill!.

The illusion created by the magic weapon he exchanged for from the main god, the 'Void Mustard Seed Wheel', was so exaggerated that even a master as powerful as Akame couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion.

Akame and the others have followed Xu Feng for decades, and during this time they have improved tremendously, reaching a completely different level from when they were fifteen or sixteen years old.

In the East China Sea team, apart from Xu Feng, only Sakurai Mei after 'summoning the god' can defeat the strongest people in this world, while Park Chang-ho after his dragon transformation can barely be compared with those people.

The virtual illusion created by the 'Void Mustard Seed Wheel' also has the effect of absorbing 'power of belief'... This power is 'light of the soul' for the strong; for the weak, it is 'power of faith'!
Xu Feng once tried to cultivate the "Sixteen Contemplations Sutra of Pure Land" using the power of faith collected in a virtual realm. But the result taught him that, until a suitable method for dealing with the power of faith is found... it's best to avoid it!
His cultivation speed did indeed increase, but his mind and will would be subtly altered by the power of faith. Xu Feng did not want to be affected by the power of faith, so he had to temporarily abandon this shortcut... At least until he found a way to deal with the power of faith, he did not intend to use it for cultivation.

but.

This virtual illusion was not without value. Xu Feng was worried that he would be influenced by the power of faith, but Tifa was not afraid at all!
She always understood that her purpose in life was to serve Xu Feng.

However, she is now of less and less help to Xu Feng, and will even become a burden in those dangerous reincarnation worlds.

Tifa wants to become stronger.

When the influence of faith power on the user is controllable, she doesn't care if this faith power has too much of an impact on her. After all... the entire process of collecting faith power is under Xu Feng's control, and that kind of subtle influence will only lean more towards Xu Feng before any accidents happen.

So, this shortcut was handed over to Tifa.

To Xu Feng's surprise, Tifa's physique was very suitable for absorbing the power of faith... The power of faith did not change her much.

Moreover, she was very efficient at utilizing the power of faith.

The energy gathered by the Supreme Throne, the spiritual energy swept by the Devouring Domain, Xu Feng's daily personal guidance, and finally, the power of faith, all contributed to Tifa's immense boost to her cultivation.

This allowed her to achieve great improvement in the last ten years or so of her life.

I make progress in my understanding of the Sixteen Contemplations of Pure Land Sutra every year.

What hinders Xu Feng's progress is his own accumulation. The cultivation method directly enhanced by the main god has no bottlenecks. Once he accumulates enough, he can advance to the next level. Then what hinders Tifa's progress is her comprehension and Buddhist roots. With all kinds of buffs, once she can understand the essence of each level and break through the bottleneck, she will soon reach the upper limit of that level.

After all the exchange periods ended, Tifa had mastered the sixth contemplation, but due to the high difficulty of the "Contemplation Sutra," she was stuck at the beginning of the seventh contemplation, "Hua Zuo Guan," for a long time and could not continue to progress.

This level of strength is enough to crush any member of the East China Sea team except for Xu Feng!

Even if Mei used the 'Summoning the Gods' technique and borrowed the true energy left by Xu Feng in the Murasame to strengthen herself, she still couldn't defeat Tifa... The overall gap between the two was too great!
After Xu Feng spent most of his reward points, he still had one A-level and one C-level side quest left... His teammates' dedication saved him from spending a lot of money on side quests.

He used his energy on the Yata Mirror to upgrade it to A-rank in that A-rank side quest.

This weapon possesses anti-spirit capabilities and was once Xu Feng's primary means of output. Moreover, it is the core of many technological weapons, and its ability to absorb and release heat can even determine the power of two anti-star weapons.

The strength of the Grade A Yata Mirror did not disappoint Xu Feng at all... Its energy absorption and release capabilities were thousands of times greater than those of the Grade B Yata Mirror!
The last C-level side quest has no flowers to be found anywhere, so you can only keep them in your hand.

Compared to the long return times, the ten-day intervals in the Main God Space are very short.

soon.

Then came the time for the entire East Sea team to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Things are different now!

Xu Feng recalled his strength when he had just finished the cycle world of "Akame ga Kill!" and compared it with his current strength... The difference was more than ten thousand times!
He could easily slap tens of thousands of his past selves to death with a single slap now!

"If the main god isn't targeting us maliciously, we shouldn't need the Rebirth Cross in the next round!"
