Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

After saying that, Shi Tian began to use a mysterious incantation. The seawater around the Tianshui Cave spread out in circles, and finally a sliver of light appeared at the dark cave entrance.

A gray stone pillar slowly rose from the cave entrance. It was very wide, enough for four or five people to encircle it, and also very long. At least for now, its other end was not visible.

"You can go forward now."

Shi Tian said.

Han Feng released a wisp of his soul, sensing the aura of the stone emperor pillar before him.

It is profound and magnificent, with no discernible origin, yet possesses an indescribable grandeur.

Han Feng stepped forward and, following Shi Tian's instructions, reached out and touched the Stone Emperor Pillar.

It slowly closed its eyes, trying to understand the mystery released by the stone pillar.

While maintaining the state of the Stone Emperor Pillar by circulating his magic, Shi Tian looked at Han Feng with curiosity.

Based on Shi Tian's many years of experience, Han Feng will definitely gain something from comprehending the Stone Emperor Pillar.

I just don't know what he can get out of it.

Among the powerful members of the Stone Clan, some were able to comprehend their own laws and undergo a transformation in their combat style, becoming even more formidable.

Some people can comprehend the evolved version of combat skills from it, and there are many geniuses who have cultivated earth-level combat skills to heaven-level.

These are all benefits that the Stone Emperor Pillar brings to people.

Practitioners can discover combat methods that are more suitable for themselves through enlightenment, which is a wealth that they can benefit from throughout their lives.

Han Feng's mind was quickly sparked with inspiration. His ability to absorb the battle techniques of the Stone Clan's experts and integrate them into his own body showed that he was a very creative cultivator.

He quickly digested the inspiration and ideas that Shi Dizhu brought him, and then looked for a further breakthrough.

After his battle with Shi Tian, ​​Han Feng discovered that his physical body still had shortcomings.

Although he reshaped his body with the power of a different kind of fire and then consumed various rare and precious herbs, he was still far weaker than the Stone Clan, whose experts were in physical constitution.

Han Feng considered ways to improve his physical body, but he quickly discarded them.

In Han Feng's eyes, focusing solely on strengthening the physical body was not a good thing.

Admittedly, it is remarkable to cultivate one's physical body to such an advanced level.

Their combat abilities will also increase accordingly, allowing them to unleash even greater potential.

However, Han Feng's path of cultivation emphasizes the balance of Yin and Yang.

Both the body and the soul must develop gradually; one cannot be strong while the other is weak.

If he had chosen the method for strengthening his physical body derived from the Stone Emperor Pillar, he might have had to pay a heavy price, but in the end, it would not have met Han Feng's own requirements at all.

As Han Feng spent more and more time meditating, a layer of sweat appeared on Shi Tian's face.

The time required to draw the Stone Emperor Pillar using the secret method cannot be too long.

The Stone Emperor Pillar is an Emperor Weapon, and with Shi Tian's current cultivation level, he can only barely activate it.

This is actually why the clansmen have such a rare opportunity to comprehend the Stone Emperor Pillar.

If even the Stone Clan Chief is having such a hard time, then it's no wonder that others are struggling.

Normally, it takes several Battle Saints working together to guide the clansmen in comprehending the truth.

For Shi Tian to personally take action today is considered top-tier treatment.

Shi Tian resisted the urge to urge him on and continued to grit his teeth and persevere.

The longer one spends contemplating, the greater the gains are often. He really wanted to see what Han Feng could glean from it.

Finally, Han Feng opened his eyes. The aura on the Stone Emperor Pillar trembled, and then a golden light flew out, which Han Feng caught with his hand.

Swish!

A long rod made of golden energy stretched out in Han Feng's hand.

Shi Tian's eyes widened suddenly as he stared incredulously at the golden staff in Han Feng's hand.

How come it looks so much like the Stone Emperor Pillar?

Shi Tian couldn't help but speculate, as the two exuded the same aura, making it impossible not to imagine.

"boom!"

Shi Tian released the seal, and Shi Dizhu quickly retreated back to the cave entrance, causing the seawater to surge and the waves to churn.

"What have you figured out?"

Shi Tian quickly approached Han Feng and asked.

Han Feng swung the golden staff in his hand, a faint smile on his face.

"A decent secret technique, and then there's this."

"What exactly is this?"

Shi Tian pressed on, asking the question.

"The energy body of the Stone Emperor Pillar."

Han Feng clenched his fist, and the golden rod was drawn into his body.

"Let me see it again!"

Shi Tian said urgently.

Han Feng summoned the golden staff again and tossed it to Shi Tian, ​​telling him to enjoy it.

Shi Tian reached out to grab it, but the next second, his whole body suddenly sank, almost smashing the golden staff to the ground.

"Good weight!"

Shi Tian's eyes widened in surprise. Could something so powerful be merely an energy body?

However, considering that the complete form requires secret manipulation, while the energy form can be actually controlled, it only takes a little more effort.

After playing with it for a long time, Shi Tian felt a slight pang of jealousy.

"You're so lucky!"

He returned the golden staff to Han Feng.

The feedback from the Stone Emperor Pillars varied, but regardless, this was the first time they had ever given out such a thing.

"Could it be due to the power of Xuanwu?"

Shi Tian began to think.

"Thank you for protecting me just now, Clan Chief Shi Tian."

Han Feng expressed his sincere gratitude.

"No need. I just wanted to see what you could glean from the Stone Emperor Pillar after so long of study. I just didn't expect to be so lucky."

"Are very few people able to obtain the energy body of the Stone Emperor Pillar?"

Han Feng asked.

Shi Tian fell silent.

He didn't know whether he should tell Han Feng the truth, but if he did, wouldn't it make the Stone Clan seem like it had no one?

Otherwise, why would it be that for such a long time, not a single member of the Stone Clan obtained the energy body of the Stone Emperor Pillar?

"It is indeed very rare."

Shi Tian gave an ambiguous answer.

"Alright, next I'll take you somewhere else."

Han Feng glanced back at Tianshui Cave, its dark entrance once again concealing the mysteries within.

The Stone Emperor Pillar truly lives up to its reputation as an imperial weapon from back then.

During his previous comprehension process, Han Feng also encountered a fortuitous encounter.

The pure battle intent emanating from the Stone Emperor Pillar from tens of thousands of years ago opened Han Feng's vision, as if he had traveled back to that era.

I felt the heroic posture of the Stone Emperor wielding the Stone Emperor Pillar.

Perhaps it was this unique encounter that allowed Han Feng to obtain the energy body of the Stone Emperor Pillar.

The two left the place, and the colorful seawater enveloped the cave entrance.

"You should be quite familiar with the place I'm taking you to next."

Shi Tian said.

Han Feng followed quietly, casually playing with the golden staff in his hand.

Han Feng didn't feel that the energy stone pillar was very heavy, perhaps because he had been chosen.

Shi Tianlu kept glancing sideways, secretly admiring the weapon in Han Feng's hand.

He genuinely liked it, but neither emotionally nor logically could he take it away from him.

Not to mention that he himself was no match for Han Feng.

"How many times has Clan Chief Shi Tian comprehended the Stone Emperor Pillar?"

Based on Shi Tian's expression, Han Feng judged that the clan leader probably did not have the same type of weapon as him.

Otherwise, even if he was surprised at first, he wouldn't have kept glancing at him later.

"One cannot comprehend the Stone Emperor Pillar too many times, as it will remember everyone's aura, so I have only comprehended it three times."

"The Stone Emperor Pillar was the weapon of the Stone Emperor. Now, is there anyone in the Stone Clan who can use it?"

"Is it inappropriate to ask this in front of me, the clan leader?"

Shi Tian shook his head.

"If anyone in the Stone Clan could gain the approval of the Stone Emperor Pillar, I would be willing to step down and let him become the clan leader."

In other words, currently no one in the Stone Clan can use the Stone Emperor Pillar.

"If we can use the Stone Emperor Pillar, then we might not have to fear the Soul Clan's invaders."

Han Feng said at this moment.

After a moment of silence, Shi Tian nodded.

"Can you use it?"

he asked.

"You are the only person in the Stone Emperor Pillar who has been granted an energy body."

"do not know."

Han Feng shook his head.

"Nobody dares to gamble, at least not right now."

"It's ironic, really. You, an outsider, were the first to gain the approval of the Stone Emperor Pillar."

Shi Tian said with a hint of helplessness.

"I remember someone else succeeded in the challenge before. What did they glean from the Stone Emperor Pillar?"

"He's pretty good too, but not as good as you."

As Shi Tian was speaking, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Can you sense that familiar presence?"

Han Feng also stopped and looked around. He noticed a huge mountain on the distant sea, shaped like a giant sea turtle.

"Xuanwu."

Han Feng murmured softly.

“Back then, Xuanwu left this mark here. Guess what? That initial piece of sand and stone eventually evolved into this enormous thing we see today.”

Shi Tian sighed.

"At first, I only saw descriptions of Xuanwu in ancient books. It wasn't until I saw the Xuanwu phantom you unleashed that I truly felt the power of Xuanwu."

"Let's go for a walk on Xuanwu Mountain."
