After searching for a while, Han Chen found where Shen Yu was. She and Yu Fei sat together, and Huayun City was also not far away.
Han Chen walked over lightly and then stopped less than two meters away from the other party. Shen Yu, who was in the midst of cultivation, was also somewhat vigilant. Her long eyelashes slightly moved, and her beautiful eyes slowly opened. What entered his vision was a delicate and pretty face with a gentle smile on it.
"You?" "Shen Yu was startled at first, then she covered her mouth and laughed softly. Why did you come down? "
"Han Chen?" Yu Fei and Huayun City who were at the side were also shocked awake, and couldn't help but blurt out at the same time.
Chapter 30 - Elder Mu
Han Chen's sudden appearance on the fourth floor shocked Shen Yu, Yu Fei and Huayun City. Unlike the third floor, the minimum requirement was to be at the 4th level of Refinement. But Han Chen was only at the first stage of Qi Refinement, how could they not be shocked?
"I don't know why I came down." Han Chen laughed openly, as if he was giving his opponenleasant surprise.
"You're amazing." Yu Fei still didn't dare believe it.
Shen Yu did not have any intention to delve deeper into the matter, and laughed lightly: "Since you are here, quickly sit down and cultivate! This fourth floor was hiding a powerful sword-art! I wonder if you can comprehend it. "
"Sword Art?" Han Chen was startled, was this the profound mystery of the fourth floor? He nodded happily and sat down beside Shen Yu.
The nearby Huayun City didn't say a word from start to finish, but a dense coldness surged through his eyes. Never would he have thought that Han Chen, who was still in the third floor not long ago, would reach the fourth floor in a short while. He didn't seem to be unwell at all.
This kind of person, had finally made the Huayun City feel threatened. He absolutely could not let this kind of growth continue. A seed of jealousy began to take root.
The few of them exchanged a few simple words before returning to their cultivation state. Han Chen was also a little impatient to see what the profound principles of the fourth floor were.
Huayun City looked at the three of them in a cold state of cultivation, clenching his fists, he shouted in his heart, "Hmph, I don't believe that you have the ability to comprehend the hidden sword techniques here."
Relying on his cultivation at the sixth level of the Huayun City's Qi Refinement Realm, he could actually go to the fifth level to cultivate. The reason why he stayed on the fourth floor was for Shen Yu and the sword techniques here. Having an outstanding talent, he had also comprehended the third level of "Sword Force." Thus, these four levels of sword-arts … Huayun City was determined to win.
Third floor of the Spirit Gathering Tower.
A short hour had already passed. Luo Zhong's face was as dark and gloomy as the liver of a pig. Almost everyone stopped cultivating and waited for the result.
Lu Bai and Mei Ling no longer held any hope. Luo Zhong had become a laughingstock. This silent slap caused a burning pain on his face. Gritting his teeth, he hurriedly left under everyone's peculiar gazes.
Lu Bai, who had previously mocked Han Chen, also braced himself and said, "Junior Sister Mei Ling, I'll go out and take a breather first."
Mei Ling did not say much and only nodded her head.
After an unknown amount of time, most of the people on the fourth floor had left. Shen Yu, Yu Fei and the Huayun City also woke up from their cultivation one after another.
"Aiya, I'm so bored. I really don't like the environment here." Yu Fei stretched lazily and complained.
"Shh!" "Lower your voice." Shen Yu suddenly stopped, and said gently: "Han Chen seems to be on the verge of a breakthrough, don't wake him up."
Breakthrough? Yu Fei and Huayun City were startled, they looked up, only to see that Han Chen's eyes were closed, like an old monk meditating, a faint gold light surging out from the surface of his body, an indistinct Qi emitted out, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, it was the sign of a breakthrough.
"Looks like he is about to reach the second level of Qi Refining." Yu Fei's eyes flashed with interest, and he immediately asked: "Then do we have to wait here? It may take a long time! "
Seeing her unwilling look, Shen Yu sighed helplessly: "Alright! However, if we stay here, it will affect Han Chen. "
The two of them held hands and stood up. Walking forward a few steps, Yu Fei turned around to look at the absent-minded Huayun City, "Senior Brother Yun Cheng, are you not going to leave?"
"Oh, yes." An undetectable coldness flashed past Huayun City's eyes, and then, he stood up, gave Han Chen a deep glance, and left the fourth floor with the two of them.
Unknowingly, it was already late at night.
The bright moonlight climbed up the branches, and the number of disciples in the Spirit Gathering Tower decreased to the lowest point of the day. On the fourth floor, only Han Chen was left. Silent, silent.
Han Chen smoothly broke through to the second level of Qi Refining, and a few hours ago, he was already awake. However, the current him was completely focused on the huge sword in the middle.
The mystery of the fourth floor! A powerful sword-art. Even the Huayun City who was praised as a genius was unable to figure out the secrets within. But Han Chen felt a sense of familiarity.
"What a familiar feeling." Han Chen muttered softly. He then stood up from the ground and slowly walked towards the gigantic sword.
Smooth and shiny, it was able to reflecerson's appearance. Han Chen subconsciously touched the sword blade, when he touched the sword blade, an even stronger familiar feeling came into his heart.
Han Chen's vision began to blur as two sharp beams of light shot out from his eyes. It was as if he could see a figure practicing with his sword, changing from blurry to clear.
"So that's how it is." Han Chen's body shook violently, and the illusion in front of him disappeared. At the same time, his face revealed a deep joy. "No wonder, no wonder, so that's how it is."
"Kid, you've surprised me once again."
Just at this moment, an aged voice gave Han Chen a big fright, and he looked towards the direction of the voice. At the entrance of the fifth floor was a slightly plump old man who was in his prime.
For a moment, Han Chen was unable to recover his wits, "Senior, you, I."
"Hehe, no need to be nervous, I am the elder guarding the Spirit Gathering Tower, you can call me Elder Mu." The old man had a gentle smile on his face as he walked over.
"Disciple Han Chen greets Elder Mu."
"No need to be so polite." Elder Mu waved his hand and said, "For you to be able to comprehend this sword technique so quickly, it looks like you have already mastered Illusory Boundless!"
"Yes, disciple has indeed trained in Boundless Phantom Mirage!" Han Chen nodded honestly.
"Not bad, not bad at all. This fourth level of sword-arts was the second half of Boundless Phantom Shadow. Back then, Mo Hen had first created a set of the first half of the cultivation difficulty, and then spent a few years to create the second half to hide here. Originally, with your talent, it would take at least a year or two to understand the mysteries of this place. However, because you've trained in the first half, you'll be able to master it in a short period of time.
The Elder Mu's explanation had solved all of the doubts in Han Chen's heart. The reason why he had felt that this sword technique was so familiar was because he had discovered that this sword technique was very similar to the Illusory Paradise.
"Elder Mo Hen is truly a genius of his generation." At the same time, a look of regret appeared on Han Chen's face.
Elder Mu also sighed lightly, "Sigh, if you were to calculate it by pinching one's fingers, Mo Hen has already been dead for ten years. The sword techniques he left behind only had a few disciples who could comprehend them. And there are almost none who have mastered it. "
Then, he looked at Han Chen with a serious face, "Little fellow, you need to train thi
s sword technique well. Its power is far greater than you can imagine. "
"Yes, this disciple will remember this in his heart!"
"Speaking of which, how did you get to the fourth floor?" Using the power of treasures? " Elder Mu voiced out his confusion.
"This one." Han Chen rubbed his nose and laughed, "To be honest, Elder Mu, this disciple's innate ability is rather special. I entered using the power of this ability."
Previously, when Han Chen was still at the first stage of Qi Refinement, he was helped to reach the third stage by the The Supreme Divine Diagram. However, this was definitely not something that could be leaked out. Fortunately, the innate divine ability could conceal it.
Elder Mu was clearly interested as well, and asked curiously, "Oh? What sort of divine ability is it? "
"Devour!"
"Devour?"
"That's right." As Han Chen finished speaking, he extended his right hand and a light ripple appeared in the center of his palm. Following that, a black halo of light appeared in front of Elder Mu and released a devouring force that quickly absorbed the surrounding spirit energy.
Elder Mu's eyes widened, and his wrinkled old face trembled slightly. Even the Mystical Peak Elders who were used to seeing the greater picture couldn't help but lose their composure. This … this is truly my first time seeing an innate divine ability like this. "
Han Chen stopped channeling his innate technique, and revealed a modest look.
In addition to being shocked, Elder Mu was also praising Han Chen more and more, "Good, this is really good. My Mystical Peak has actually hidden such an outstanding disciple, truly a great fortune for the sect, haha. "
"The Elder Mu muse praises you."
Subsequently, the two of them began to chat about common topics. Han Chen also asked for advice on cultivation, and felt that the benefits were severe. Elder Mu, on the other hand, admired Han Chen more and more. He was neither arrogant nor impatient.
"Elder Mu, is there any hidden secrets on the fifth floor? May I go down and have a look? " With the help of the devouring ability, Han Chen could be said to be an expert with great courage. If he wanted to challenge the bottom line, he would need to be at the sixth level of Qi Refining to be able to go down to the fifth level.
"Hur hur." Elder Mu laughed and replied, "If you want to go down, that's fine, but the fifth floor doesn't have any profound mysteries. However, the amount of spiritual energy here was four times more than on this level. Of course, you don't seem to have mastered the devouring ability yet, so I guess you won't be able to stay here for long. "
"Alright!" Han Chen also knew that his current abilities were too weak, so the power of his Inherent Skill was also limited. This fourth level was more or less the bottom line. Then what's on the sixth and seventh floor? "
"Mm, the seventh floor is the main hub of this Spirit Gathering Tower. Even if I were to explain it to you, you wouldn't understand. On the sixth floor, in addition to the rich spiritual energy, there was also an stimulation and training of spiritual energy. "
"Mental Energy? has something to do with the Psionic Magician? "
"That's right, it's the Psionic Magician."
Chapter 31 - The Man Pretending to Be Me
Psionic Magician!
Han Chen did not know much, and only knew that the Psionic Magician was another mysterious existence other than the martial cultivation. Their strength was not Martial Spirit, but a form of "Mental Energy."
Seeing Han Chen's confused expression, the Elder Mu said with a smile, "What? have you never come into contact with Psionic Magician before? "
"Nope." Han Chen shook his head.
"Heh heh, that's alright. I'll just tell you about it. The ranks of Psionic Magician were divided into six realms, namely the entry stage, initial stage, mastery stage, control stage, body splitting stage and focus stage. Each episode shall be divided into three stages, the former, the middle and the latter. "
In the human brain, there is a "sea of consciousness", the spiritual force is generated from the sea of consciousness. Here, the mind can be reborn, the mind can be reclaimed. The meaning behind his words was that if one's Spirit power was powerful enough, they could move mountains and fill the seas. With their hands, they could turn into rain. Killing people thousands of miles away.
"This?" Han Chen opened his mouth in shock. He had only heard that the Psionic Magician was extremely rare and strong, but he didn't expect it to be powerful to this extent. He could not help but ask, "Elder Mu, then can I become a Psionic Magician?"
"Hur hur, it's hard to say."
"Why?"
"I can't be sure in the future, but you can't now. Your sea of consciousness is in a closed state, and your spiritual force has not awakened. If you want to become a Psionic Magician, you need to wait until your Spirit Power awakens. "
"Then when will it awaken?" Han Chen continued to ask.
"Under normal circumstances, it would be around the mastery because at that time, martial cultivation's body's strength would be better. He could withstand the spiritual force entrustment within his sea of consciousness. Of course, there were also those who were born with special physiques and didn't need to practice martial arts. You can directly cultivate Psionic Magician s. "
Han Chen did not have that kind of special physique. Otherwise, Mystical Peak would have discovered him a long time ago and nurtured him more.
"Elder Mu, then which one is stronger than martial cultivation?"
"This?" Elder Mu nodded and continued to explain in detail.
It was known to all that the realms of martial cultivation were divided into the Tempered Body Realm, the Refinement Realm, the mastery, the morphogenesis, the Heavenly Completion Stage, the Entering the Saint realm, and the Spirit Cultivation Realm.
And when a person's "Sea of Consciousness" opens and then the "Mental Energy" awakens, that person would step into the entry level of Psionic Magician. Psionic Magician at this stage were the weakest, without the use of force. Perhaps a Body Tempering martial cultivation would be able to take the life of a in the initial stage.
However, once the Psionic Magician had reached the Initial Stage, he would be able to compete with the other mastery warriors. If one reached the mastery stage, it was equivalent to between morphogenesis and itself. In other words, it was stronger than morphogenesis, and weaker than Heavenly Completion Stage.
As for the final three stages, it was the control spirit stage, the split body stage, and the focus stage. It corresponded to the long habitat of the martial cultivation, as well as the Spirit Cultivating Stage.
After listening to Elder Mu's explanation, Han Chen was a little confused, but he still just barely understood it. It seemed that this Psionic Magician had a rather large jump, and wasn't able to be compared directly with him. The reason why Elder Mu said that, was only so Han Chen could more easily accept this type of information.
"I have truly gained experience today, Elder Mu, thank you."
"Hehe, it's alright. My old man hasn't chatted with his disciples for a long time either. " The Elder Mu was increasingly satisfied with Han Chen. He rubbed the beard on his chin and instructed, "Little fellow, cultivating mental strength is an extremely difficult thing. Many of the more talented disciples gave up on martial cultivation and focused on cultivating it after their consciousness had awakened. But in the end they both ended up missing out on both. "
"This?" Han Chen could not help but be taken aback. It seemed that his thoughts were still too simple. If Psionic Magician was so easy to cultivate, then there wouldn't be so few of them.
"Of course, I'm just giving yoeminder."
"Then can I dual cultivate?"
"Hmm?" This question stunned Elder Mu. He thought to himself that this fellow in front of him had quite a big mouth, he actually wanted to take all of the fish and bear paws. There is indeed a dual cultivation of the Spiritual Martial Force. Most people have wasted their years. "
"Then someone else m
ust have succeeded." Han Chen was immediately filled with confidence, and a fiery look flashed past his eyes.
Seeing the determination in his opponent's eyes, Elder Mu could only smile. Young and hot-blooded, he dared to try anything new. Maybe he really was getting old.
When Han Chen came out of the Spirit Gathering Tower, it was already the morning of the second day. Because he had just broken through to the Second Stage of Refinement, Han Chen was brimming with energy from head to toe, as if he had an inexhaustible amount of energy.
He heaved a sigh of relief as the warm sunlight shone down, making his handsome face almost transparent. From the Elder Mu, Han Chen learned a lot.
Although he yearned to see the Psionic Magician, Han Chen didn't consider this matter at the moment. There was still a large gap between him and the mastery, the main thing was to raise his strength.
"Where to?" Han Chen took a step forward, hesitating whether to return or go find Shen Yu. After thinking for a moment, he chose the latter.
Shen Yu lived on a beautiful mountain peak. The person living with her was her good friend, Yu Fei. The location was quickly found, just as he was about to go into the courtyard to look for her. Just then, she saw a tall and beautiful figure standing at the side of a mountain wall. It was Shen Yu.
Han Chen immediately walked over, "Shen Yu."
Hearing the call, Shen Yu turned around, her mouth revealing a faint smile, "You're here."
Her pure smile was likure white peony flower, but Han Chen saw the worry in her eyes and could not help but ask, "What happened? Is there something wrong? "
"En!" Shen Yu nodded her head, her eyes turning to look at the winding and beautiful mountains and rivers, "Yesterday, my family sent a letter, and asked me to go back for a visit in a few days. In half a month, it will be the New Year's event."
"Go home? Isn't that a good thing? "
"This is not a good thing!" Shen Yu pouted her small mouth and muttered in a small voice, "They definitely want me to marry that bastard from the Situ Family."
