Not delaying further, Fenggong’s silhouette disappeared in a flicker, running his battle qi, he controlled his body to descend down the rift at a slow pace.
Similar to Huwang Xiao’s experience, the deeper down he went, the stronger the gusts of azure frosty breeze blew, at an increased frequency too. Several hundred meters down, Fenggong was pressured to summon his martial heart, the Six-horned Devil Scorpion, and spirit transformed.
However, passing the one thousand 500 meters mark, Fenggong couldn’t withstand the frigid cold and had to return above.
Seeing his Master return, Dai Li quickly went up, inquiring cautiously, “Grasp, how was it?”
Fenggong shook his head saying, “The chilly wind coming from the bottom level of the rift is too strong, there’s no way to reach the bottom.” His body shuddered, expelling the frigid air that got moved into his body. Fenggong quickly had taken out a pellet and swallowed it down, circulating his fight qi. Only then did he have the ability to suppress the effects the azure cool wind.
Dai Li was evidently shocked at his Expert’s words, for he was well aware that his Master was a maximum late-Xiantian Tenth Order expert, half a step in to the Saint world! Someone that was half of a step into the Saint realm like his Get better at actually couldn’t reach underneath of the rift!
Realizing his disciple’s expression, Fenggong explained, “Actually, many Saint realm experts acquired tried to go down this Broken Tiger Rift, but despite that, in the last twenty thousand years, I’ve yet to hear about anyone being successful.”
“Even Saint realm experts failed to reach the bottom?!” Dai Li was flabbergasted, this is his first time hearing this matter.
Fenggong nodded, “I didn’t believe it either, but after thattempt just now, that rumor should be true.”
“But Get good at, that dragon’s roar at the bottom…?” Dai Li inquired.
Fenggong’s tone was solemn, “These thousands of years, in our Martial Spirit World, the Primordial Divine Dragon has been an extinct existence. That dragon roar had not been made by a genuine dragon, more likely than not it was issued with a certain treasure. We’ll stay here for the time being, to verify if there’s really a treasure being given birth to.”
Whereas at the bottom of the rift, Huwang Xiao sat cross-legged beside the cold spring, refining the religious energy from the spiritual energy fish. Although five days had passed, the quantity of religious energy inside his body continued to be abundant. The airflow around Huwang Xiao collected into a giant energy vortex, and in the eye of the vortex, aureate, ember, azure, and a black light glimmered endlessly.
The vortex grew bigger as time passed.
On the surface of Huwang Xiao’s pores and skin, plumes of black soot appeared, these were impurities that had developed in his body being cleansed out.
Half of a month passed.
The energy vortex around Huwang Xiao reached the height of ten zhang, with howling cries as it rotated at high speed, hiding Huwang Xiao’s silhouette in the guts as a stalwart force surged out.
After more than twenty days, close to a month’s time, the energy vortex around Huwang Xiao all of a sudden ended, bursting in the air like a giant bubble and dissipating, revealing Huwang Xiao’s muscular physique at its center.
By this right time, the robe he wore was shredded and pieces of cloth scattered in the surrounding. Huwang Xiao’s muscles appeared as if they were sculpted, masculine and perfect with a face that was carved out of an artist’s knife, eye that resembled the vast galaxy framed by solid sword-like brows.
More than 20 days passed, Huwang Xiao completely refined the spiritual energy seafood. Checking his body’s condition with his religious sense, Huwang Xiao discovered that his battle qi cultivation had reached peak late-Xiantian Ninth Order, with indicators of improving to Xiantian Tenth Order any time.
Furthermore, his meridians and veins were tougher and larger; the blood running through his veins, his marrow, and flesh appeared to pulsate with a faint golden halo. He felt much lighter, and his soul, much clearer.
‘The benefits of these spiritual energy fish are amazing!’ Huwang Xiao exclaimed in his center. After undergoing the cleansing from the spiritual energy fish, Huwang Xiao’s body burst with power and vitality, his soul was also greatly enhanced, becoming more powerful, so powerful that he experienced hints of breaking through the fourth level of the Old Puppetry Art.
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Huwang Xiao took out a new robe from the Asura Band and put it on. Then, he brought out the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, sucking in the next spiritual energy fish into the Thousands of Beast Cauldron, initiating the Heaven and Earth Source Reverting Array to expel the frosty element.
Twenty times came and went.
As the days passed, Huwang Xiao were able to refine the rest of the spiritual energy seafood, finally getting into Xiantian Tenth Order.
Xiantian Tenth Order!
Though it may be early Xiantian Tenth Order, Huwang Xiao’s strength had always been higher than the average warrior’s. Even without soul transformation, a top late-Xiantian Tenth Order would suffer gravely from Huwang Xiao’s punch.
Before entering the rift, Huwang Xiao was still a Xiantian Seventh order, but now, several months later, he advanced into Xiantian Tenth Order. He couldn’t help but marvel at the changes.
Huwang Xiao stood up, eyes scanning across the rift, growing out his religious sense. Being here for so many months, Huwang Xiao had seen most of the places, but he did not find the so-called dwelling of that historic God Tribe grasp.
Could that master’s cultivation place not in this rift?
As Huwang Xiao’s spiritual senses disseminate, a weak energy fluctuation rippled from underneath of the cold spring lake. Weak as it may be, Huwang Xiao recognized it the moment the power rippled.
His eyes were attracted to the cold springtime. Was there something concealed beneath the chilly spring?
Pondering over the problem, Huwang Xiao decided to enter the cold spring and check it out. He immediately presented the Godly Mt. Xumi and vanished within, guiding the Godly Mt. Xumi from the Ten Buddha Development to enter the cool spring lake.
Submerged within, so far as the eyes could see was an endless blue.
And nothing at all else.
Going further down, he already reached the bottom of the cold spring, but apart from sand and mud, there is only more fine sand and mud. Huwang Xiao frowned, he was certain that the weak energy fluctuation earlier originated under the frosty springtime, how could there be nothing around.
As Huwang Xiao managed the Godly Mt. Xumi to explore further, a turbulent pressure struck, causing Godly Mt. Xumi to tremble.
What’s happening?! The scenery in front of Huwang Xiao shifted as he inserted another space.
The view before him was a lush green space with fragrant flowers and cheerful birdsongs ringing in the air, all kinds of spiritual herbs and elixirs filled the ground, and a waterfall up forward. This was paradise.
“This… can it be that ancient God Tribe master’s cultivation space?!” Huwang Xiao’s eye sparkled.
He must have guessed it right! That ancient God Tribe expert’s cultivation dwelling was actually built under the chilly spring, it if weren’t because of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda allowing him to refine the cool component within the cold springtime, if it weren’t for the Godly Mt. Xumi, if it weren’t for that weak fluctuation previous, he may have never located this place.
Huwang Xiao’s eyes looked around, falling onto the countless herbs and elixirs on the ground.
“Seven Colors Spirit Mushroom!”
“Nine Leaves Purple Grass!”
“Fervid Yang Fruit!”
Huwang Xiao was exclaiming the names of each one.
The herbs and elixirs spread casually over the space were all rare materials, and judging from their appearance, each and every one of them was over ten thousand years.
Huwang Xiao’s eye shone with ecstasy; all these are
treasures, ah! Not only that, there have been also many that he couldn’t name.
It was quite a while before Huwang Xiao managed to tear his eyes away from these elixirs towards the several small straw huts nearby the waterfall.
‘This is where that ancient God Tribe master cultivated? Isn’t this a little too humble?’
Ch.300
Huwang Xiao flickered into a blur, landing close to the number of straw huts…
There were a complete of six straw huts, picturesque in their disorder, as if these were part of nature, carrying with them a charm from a historical past.
He opted for the hut in the center and went in.
Inside the straw hut, a messy room welcomed Huwang Xiao, odd things strewn over here and there. Catching sight of something in a part, Huwang Xiao strolled over and blew the dirt away with a flick of his sleeve, revealing a stack of books.
It was unknown what materials were used to make these books. These were pale yellow in colour and even after several a large number of years, they were still in good condition.
Huwang Xiao's hand formed a suction force and one of the books flew to his hands. Taking a look at the cover, the four characters title was written in historic text. Taking a moment to interpret what, he read softly: “Fiendgod Treasured Reflection.” He opened the book, reading page to page.
This book, Fiendgod Treasured Reflection, depicted events of ancient times related to the God Tribes and Devil Race.
After he finished reading the book, Huwang Xiao shifted to the other books from the stack. Most of the contents in these books were records related to ancient tribes and races in that era, no cultivation techniques nor fight skills.
Huwang Xiao was disappointed. To him, these books weren't of much use. What he needed most at the moment were things that could aid him in improving his cultivation.
Still, regardless of these books’ usefulness, Huwang Xiao moved all the books in to the Asura Ring one at a time as he read through them. These books weren't useful to him, but if put out for auction, he'd probably get some good stuff in exchange.
Having dealt with the books, his eyes wandered to another portion of the hut and walked over.
In this corner, piled up high, were different ores and metals that were also covered in dust. Huwang Xiao swept the level of dust away with a straightforward wave of his hand.
“That is Purpleblood Silver Crystal!”
His gaze were attracted by a palm-sized, translucent red ore nestled amongst the pile of ores when the dust lifted and exclaimed out loud. This Purpleblood Metallic Crystal was extremely rare, it was born from hard to find bloody mine blood vessels. If taken out for auction, it would likely fetch a much higher price than ten bits of grade one spirit rocks.
Huwang Xiao's eye swept on the other a large number of ores and metals.
“Fire Flame Black Iron!”
“Ash-gray Bloodstream Magnetite!”
“Moontide Stone!”
The other dozens of ores and metals were all materials difficult to find in Martial Spirit World. Some of them even disappeared several thousand years back again.
Eyes shining brightly, Huwang Xiao moved all of them into his Asura Band.
Moments later Huwang Xiao arrived from the central straw hut and entered the hut beside it. The inside of this straw hut was somewhat smaller compared the main one in the guts. Placed at the center of the hut was a pill furnace. Again, Huwang Xiao didn't know what materials the pill furnace was made of, the furnace body was a mass of matte black. There is a jade drawer positioned at a corner of the hut. On top of the flat surface, there were several small jade bottles.
‘It seems like this is a tablet refining room.’ Huwang Xiao thought to himself. Taking another look around the hut, his eyes once again dropped onto the jade drawer. More accurately, on the several small jade containers on top.
A suction force originated from his hands and one of the jade bottles fell into his palm. The jade bottle was real light red in color and sensed warm to the touch, making him question the type of jade it was manufactured from.
Even more curious was what kind of medicinal pellet it held inside!
Carefully, Huwang Xiao opened the lid and an alluring medicinal fragrance immediately filled the hut, spreading to every corner, actually forming into something that appeared as if just a little elf.
Viewing the scene before him, Huwang Xiao's eye were how big is fists due to surprise.
This, could this be divine grade spirit pellet!
Divine quality! Only a divine grade spirit pellet could cause such a manifestation!
Huwang Xiao peered inside the jade bottle excitedly and found an amiable, floating little Daoist man in cross-legged position! The little Daoist man was shrouded in a hazy grey halo.
He was honestly stunned, then understanding set in. This little Daoist man was likely a transformation of the divine quality spirit pellet. Some high-grade divine soul pellet like the religious energy fish could take shape in another form.
While Huwang Xiao's thoughts were turning at rapid quickness, the tiny Daoist man opened his eye, taking a glance at Huwang Xiao. A streak of lightning flashed in his eyes and Huwang Xiao felt something collide along with his mind with great momentum, leading to him to lose focus, however, he were able to recover in the blink of an eye.
Watching Huwang Xiao recover so fast shocked the little Daoist. He purely focuses on spirit push cultivation, warriors under the Saint world shouldn’t have the ability to break his soul attack. This brat in front of him was most likely not a Saint realm expert, yet this young man wasn’t overwhelmed by his spirit force attack.
Whereas Huwang Xiao, who nearly fell into the little Daoist man’s plot of being controlled, was also taken aback. He didn't expect a little Daoist man developed from a divine grade pellet knew method of soul control!
Judging from the strike earlier, this little Daoist man’s cultivation wasn't weak whatsoever, near to a human Saint realm expert!
“Young man, it's amazing that you managed to enter this Eminent Holiness space.” At this point the Daoist spoke, “Think about we discuss a deal?”
“A deal?” Huwang Xiao remained calm on the top while sneering inwardly. He wished to see what this little Daoist was playing at.
The Daoist continued, “This Eminent Holiness space was opened by Supreme Eminent Holiness through the ancient era. Left inside here is an Eminent Holiness Technique that only I know how to get, so long as you let me go I'll tell you where this godly Eminent Holiness Technique is.”
“Oh~, really?” Huwang Xiao continued to be calm on the surface but he was sneering inside. With a wave of his hand, a bright light flickered and the Linglong Treasure Pagoda materialized above his mind.
What so-called Eminent Holiness Supreme Technique? Huwang Xiao obviously didn’t believe one word. Even if what the tiny Daoist man said was really true, Huwang Xiao kept no interest, it was enough that he had the Asura Methods and Godly Xumi Art, as for battle skills, he previously them in abundance and was definitely not lacking.
What Huwang Xiao truly lacked were miraculous pellets and elixirs that could help him enhance his fight qi cultivation, and this little Daoist man before him was exactly the panacea he was looking for!
This little Daoist man’s cultivation was quite formidable, however, Huwang Xiao has the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, wanting to refine ‘it’ wouldn’t be difficult.
“This! A heavenly treasure, the Linglong Treasure Pagoda!” When the little Daoist saw the Linglong Treasure Pagoda Huwang Xiao called out, he couldn’t help exclaiming.
Huwang Xiao paused briefly, this little Daoist recognized the Linglong Treasure Pagoda…
“Correct, this is the Linglong Treasure Pagoda.” Huwang Xiao smirked smugly.
“Not so fast!” How could the tiny Daoist not realize what Huwang Xiao prepared by this point, hastily shouted: “Son, don’t you desire the Eminent Holiness Technique?! That is a high-grade Heaven rank cultivation techniqu
e, even during the historic period it was a much coveted high-grade cultivation technique. After cultivating it, you'll possess a godly holy power.”
“Refining me will only enhance your cultivation by a little level, it’s a vast difference if you get the Eminent Holiness Technique!”
While the little Daoist was busy persuading Huwang Xiao, a great suction force descended over it from the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, pulling both the little Daoist and the red jade container into the Thousand Beast Cauldron. Then, the Heaven and Globe Origins Reverting Array initiated, pressuring the jade bottle from all directions.
“You punk, i want to out!”
“You think you can refine me by relying on the Linglong Treasure Pagoda?!”
…
“I’m heading to kill you!”
The divine grade pellet Daoist’s raging wrath rang out endlessly from the Thousand Beast Cauldron.
Huwang Xiao remained unperturbed as he continued to infuse the Thousand Beast Cauldron with battle qi, slowly melting off the hazy gray halo of protective vigor qi around the little Daoist.
Although this little Daoist was the manifestation of the divine grade pellet and a hardcore nut to crack, compared to refining the spiritual energy fish, this was by far easier many times over.
Ch.301
Four days later, the tiny Daoist man was fully refined by Huwang Xiao, ‘his’ consciousness was slowly eroded away by the Heaven and Earth Origin Reverting Array.
After the divine grade little Daoist man’s consciousness was erased, Huwang Xiao swallowed the pellet into his body, sat down and started to run the Asura Tactics, refining its medicinal properties.
The power within a divine grade spirit pellet was comparable to the spiritual energy fish. The moment it got into his body, the medicinal energy surged like angry waves through his four limbs and the others of his body. Huwang Xiao’s Qi Sea and dantian soaked up the medicine energy in a frenzied manner. A faint herb fragrance wafted out from Huwang Xiao’s body distributing to the environment.
