Living as a Mortal: Grinding Experience Starting from the Underworld

Chapter 131 The appointed time has arrived, sudden enlightenment

Qingyi even gave Zhang Feng dozens of his own Thornbirds so that he could breed them himself.

The flock of bluethorn birds can be used for warning and defense, or they can be used in groups to attack, making them a rare and valuable group of spirit beasts.

The fact that Qing Yi could support such a large herd of beasts shows that he was indeed very wealthy.

Zhang Feng did not refuse. His two star frogs had fallen into a deep sleep due to consuming too many high-grade spirit stones and soul beads.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a spirit pet to command.

Nanhe Island has remained virtually unchanged for the past twenty years.

Neither Hao Zhicheng nor Qi Xing dared to disturb Zhang Feng's cultivation after learning of his identity.

Hao Zhicheng had the idea of ​​inheriting Qingyi's mantle, but Qingyi didn't think much of him, and besides, Zhang Feng was already there.

Qingyi had no intention of finding another personal disciple.

The twenty-year agreement has been fulfilled, and Zhang Feng waits quietly for news from Han Li on Nanhe Island.

However, it was somewhat disappointing that Han Li did not arrive.

Come to think of it, the news that Han Li has obtained the Void Heaven Cauldron is now spreading throughout the Inner Sea, and countless forces have issued warrants for his arrest.

The Star Palace, the Righteous Path, and the Demonic Path are all issuing warrants for Han Li's arrest. He is now on the server-wide alert and can only hide in the outer sea.

Zhang Feng survived because Qing Yi and Manhuzi deliberately concealed the truth, and was not reported to the entire Luanxinghai server.

Zhang Feng has now reached the peak of the Core Formation stage, and his spiritual root talent has even reached the level of a dual-spiritual-root genius.

There are also two spiritual items to ward off inner demons: the Tranquilizing Ring and the Demon-Suppressing Pill.

For those seeking to form a nascent soul, it's truly a matter of a single, precarious step.

However, without the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng Pill in Han Li's possession, Zhang Feng still felt it wasn't safe enough.

So Zhang Feng suggested to Qing Yi that they go to Qiyuan Island in the outer sea.

This move was naturally opposed by Qingyi.

"Feng'er, don't think too much. Your cultivation is now complete, and you are only one step away from condensing your Nascent Soul."

"Furthermore, the situation in the Chaotic Star Sea is currently very unpredictable, with the struggle between the Reverse Star Alliance and the Star Palace raging fiercely."

"Information is completely cut off between the open sea and the inland sea, and we do not yet know the current situation in the open sea."

"Wouldn't going out to sea at this time put oneself in danger?"

Qingyi advised.

When the Star Palace and the Reverse Star Alliance went to war, most of the Nascent Soul cultivators who did not want to participate, like Qing Yi, stayed behind closed doors.

A few cultivators, like the one with the barbarian beard, who were at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, remained unaffected and continued to do as they pleased.

Zhang Feng pondered for a moment and realized it was indeed as Qing Yi had said.

"Ancestor, I naturally understand what you mean, but Han Li has pills made from Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng."

"Although I took the Heaven-Mending Pill to improve my spiritual root, I also received many spiritual items from the Ancestor."

"But I'm still not confident that I can successfully condense a Nascent Soul."

"As someone who has been through it, the Ancestor should know the difficulties and dangers involved in condensing a Nascent Soul."

"I just want to be a little more certain."

Zhang Feng spoke slowly.

He was somewhat anxious; if Han Li were captured by the level-nine demon beast Feng hope at this moment, how would he obtain the pills?

"Alas~ How could the Ancestor not know the dangers of condensing a Nascent Soul? But this matter cannot be rushed."

"Stability is the most important thing."

"You are still young. Even if you missed out on the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng Pill from Han Li, you still have time to find other pills."

"We can't rush things!"

"Your ancestor only managed to condense his nascent soul when his lifespan was nearing its end."

"You are only a little over a hundred years old now, you have at least four or five hundred years left."

Why rush things?

Qingyi shook his head slightly. This junior was good in every way, but he was a bit too hasty.

It looked as if some terrifying object was chasing him.

Even a young person over a hundred years old still lacks the tempering of time.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng gradually calmed down.

He also realized that something was wrong; he seemed to have been too hasty.

Over the years, he has been chasing the plot's progress, hoping to be the first to acquire various resources and rare items, and to collect all the items.

It seems I've gradually forgotten that I came here not for these items, nor for the characters in the story.

Rather, it was for their own dreams and wishes of cultivating immortality, and for the desire to live forever and witness the magnificence of the cultivation world.

Those rare resources and artifacts are merely means for his cultivation.

What does gain or loss matter? Hasn't he always been on the path of spiritual cultivation?

The system of your own proficiency panel attributes is already incredibly powerful, so why bother looking for anything else?

Focus on improving your skills, refining the medicinal power of the Heaven-Mending Pill, and enhancing your spiritual root talent.

The process of forming an infant was simply a natural consequence.

Once your thoughts are calm, your heart will gradually become wider.

Zhang Feng suddenly felt a sense of tranquility without any apparent reason, and he was immersed in a unique kind of awakening.

With a clear mind and a tranquil spirit, one can understand all things in a single thought.

Qingyi, who was stroking his beard, froze instantly.

He opened his mouth as if to make a sound, but then covered it tightly, afraid of making the slightest noise.

Breathing gradually subsided, and the breath returned to the body.

Qingyi concealed all his aura until he completely blended into the environment.

"Sudden enlightenment! It's actually sudden enlightenment! A sudden enlightenment that a cultivator might only encounter once in their lifetime!"

Qing Yi's heart was surging with emotion, but his face remained expressionless.

Qingyi casually stopped the breeze inside the cave.

"My Qingyi can actually have such a junior?"

"Qingyi truly has such a promising junior!"

"Great, great, I have no regrets!"

"Barbear-bearded old ghost, extremely yin old ghost, and Xuan-bone old ghost, you are all inferior to me, inferior to me!"

A glint flashed in Qingyi's eyes, and his complexion gradually turned rosy.

A moment later, Zhang Feng suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of confusion on his face. He seemed to have just entered a mysterious and profound state.

"Hahaha, great, great!"

"Feng'er, quickly go into seclusion and carefully experience the feeling you just had. Perhaps the key to your Nascent Soul formation lies within it."

o

"Grandpa, I'll be right back!"

Qing Yi laughed loudly, gave a word of advice, turned around and transformed into a streak of azure light, disappearing from Zhang Feng's sight.

Zhang Feng remained silent for a moment, trying to recapture the feeling from before, but he couldn't find it no matter what he did.

A sudden enlightenment is indeed something that can only be encountered by chance.

Zhang Feng sighed, but then became excited.

He could readily apply the various techniques he had learned, and his skills, techniques, and craftsmanship reached another peak.

Zhang Feng checked his attribute panel.

[Techniques: Thousand Waves Technique (Profound and Subtle Understanding), Underworld King Technique (Profound and Subtle Understanding), Myriad Laws Sword Technique (Profound and Subtle Understanding) ————]

[Techniques: Water Escape Technique (Profound and Subtle Understanding), Object Manipulation Technique (Profound and Subtle Understanding) ————]

【技艺：渔猎（通玄入微）剑技（精通1/100）高阶阵法（大成1/100）符箓（精通1/100）炼器（精通1/00）】

Beyond mastery, there is another realm: profound understanding and subtle insight.

Zhang Feng felt that he had gained a deeper understanding of cultivation techniques and could easily perceive the advantages and disadvantages of various techniques.

Zhang Feng even had a fleeting thought of making changes.

The same applies to techniques and skills; almost every one requires progressing through a level of proficiency.

Among the skills, swordsmanship was the one that surprised Zhang Feng the most.

He summoned a flying sword, and spiritual power gathered at the tip of the sword.

inflammation!

The flying sword transformed into several streaks of light, then condensed into a sword shield, and finally transformed into a sharp silver thread several feet long.

With his improved swordsmanship, Zhang Feng was now able to flexibly use the two techniques inherent to the Myriad Laws Sword Art: "Ten Thousand Swords Unleashed" and "Ten Thousand Shadows Sword Shield."

There is even a legendary realm that marks a high-level sword cultivator: sword energy turning into silk.

Although it can only condense into coarse sword threads, and even those are somewhat unstable.

However, the power it generates is enough to deal with cultivators of the same realm.

This is a sign that he has reached the advanced level of swordsmanship, and it also means that the natal magic weapon he has crafted is no longer a useless flying sword that can only rely on the power of extreme cold.

Once you break through to the Nascent Soul stage, your spiritual energy is purified again, your control is enhanced, and you can easily turn sword energy into threads.

Okay, okay, sudden enlightenment is good.

Zhang Feng was overjoyed, as for his twenty-year agreement with Han Li.

Given the current situation in Luanxinghai, neither of them may be able to attend and fulfill their commitments.

Most of the islands in Star Palace either rose up in rebellion or were conquered by the Reverse Star Alliance.

The teleportation arrays that the Star Palace set up on the islands are unlikely to be preserved.

When Zhang Feng reached the outer sea, he only had one way to do so: to use his physical escape technique.

But for him to travel alone through the chaotic inland sea to the outer sea is simply too disregard for the war.

Moreover, it is unknown whether Han Li has collected all the herbs needed to refine the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.
