Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Ling Fei walked out of the Missions Building.

Afterward, he went straight to the Martial Pavilion.

On the second floor of the Martial Pavilion, Ling Fei was choosing Martial Arts.

'The middle part of the Celestial River Sword Technique is a Martial Art I must learn. However, it costs one million two hundred thousand points to redeem. With the remaining six hundred and ten thousand points, I can also redeem one Celestial Martial Art. So, with my current points, I can only find one more Celestial Martial Art,' Ling Fei calculated in his head.

The Celestial River Sword Technique was very profound. The first part alone was stronger than ordinary Celestial Martial Arts.

The point cost for this middle part was based on that of a Profound Level Martial Art.

As for Celestial Martial Arts, redeeming one only required four hundred thousand to six hundred thousand points.

Of course, this amount of points was an astronomical figure for ordinary students.

Only those who stepped into the Innate Realm could easily earn points.

New students like Ling Fei, who could earn one million eight hundred thousand points in one go, were simply too rare.

'I've now comprehended Sword Momentum and True Dragon Momentum. My combat power is already very strong, but what I lack is a Body Technique.'

Ling Fei carefully analyzed his own shortcomings.

For instance, in his last battle with Qin Hui, his opponent had relied on a powerful Body Technique to force Ling Fei into a desperate situation.

If his Body Technique had also reached that level, he could have fought Qin Hui to the death relying solely on the Nine Layers of Body Tempering.

After some deliberation, Ling Fei headed to the Step Technique section.

"Wind Shadow Step, Wave Riding Step, Phantom Step, Spiritual Snake Step..." Various Body Techniques appeared before his eyes.

These were all Celestial Level Body Techniques.

'The Wind Shadow Step is quite mystical. The body Moves with the Wind, like a shadow. Paired with the elegance of Swordsmanship, it can achieve victory through surprise.'

This was an extremely powerful Step Technique.

'I'll choose this one!' Having deeply felt the mystical nature of the Wind Shadow Step, Ling Fei found himself longing for this Body Technique.

If he could master this Body Technique and reach the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, he would have a much greater chance of success when facing enemies.

Then, Ling Fei selected the Martial Art manual and touched the word "Redeem" beside it, causing a Light Pattern to flash.

Immediately, he swiped his Points Card. A Light Pattern flashed, and the compartment holding the Martial Art manual opened.

And just like that, a Martial Art manual was successfully redeemed.

As for the middle part of the Celestial River Sword Technique, it was on the third floor.

...

'The Body Technique is secondary; the middle part of the Celestial River Sword Technique is the main priority.' Holding the two Martial Arts manuals, Ling Fei left the Martial Pavilion, quite satisfied.

Martial Arts were about quality, not quantity.

Besides, he also had the True Dragon Refining God Technique!

Carrying the Martial Arts manuals, Ling Fei headed to his Cultivation Room.

'First, I'll enter seclusion to stabilize my Cultivation, then I'll comprehend the Celestial River Sword Technique!' Ling Fei returned to his Cultivation Land and hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign directly in front of the Cold Cave. This way, no one would bother him during his training. However, the person responsible for his daily life would still provide his three meals a day.

Inside the Cold Cave, Ling Fei sat cross-legged on the Cultivation Platform, circulating the True Dragon Body Refining Technique.

As the Cultivation Technique circulated, Light Patterns flickered on his spine, and a massive Qi Vortex materialized.

By now, Ling Fei had long since grown accustomed to his spine operating in tandem with the Cultivation Technique.

It seemed as if the True Dragon Body Refining Technique and his spine were one and the same.

WHOOSH!

The Spinal Vortex contained a terrifying pulling force, absorbing the Cold Essence Qi drawn in by the Cultivation Platform like a raging river.

'The speed at which my spine absorbs Heaven and Earth Essence Qi has increased?'

The moment his spine began to operate, Ling Fei sensed a change in the Spinal Vortex.

Now, the speed of absorbing Cold Essence Qi was clearly more than ten times faster than before.

It was even dozens of times faster!

WHOOSH!

The churning Cold Qi filled the entire Cold Cave, completely enveloping Ling Fei.

Even the underground Cold Qi Primordial Vein was fluctuating slightly.

It seemed as though the Cold Qi within the Primordial Vein was affected, all of it converging toward Ling Fei.

At this moment, Cold Chi True Qi was continuously being generated within Ling Fei's body.

The speed at which True Qi was generated also surpassed its previous rate by dozens of times.

'What a terrifying speed!' Ling Fei was shaken. 'Isn't this a bit too monstrous?'

'Will I absorb all the Cold Essence Qi in this Cold Qi Primordial Vein?'

Ling Fei even felt that if he continued to cultivate here, this Cold Qi Primordial Vein might just run dry.

After all, for every wisp of his Cold Chi True Qi he generated, the amount of Cold Essence Qi consumed was dozens of times greater than what an ordinary person used to generate a strand of True Qi!

'As long as I can improve my Cultivation, who cares about the Cold Essence Qi? Let the others cry about it!' Ling Fei shook his head and immediately resumed his training.

True Qi was the foundation of a Cultivator.

Even if one comprehended Sword Momentum, without enough True Qi to support it, its power would be limited.

Ling Fei didn't dare to slack off when it came to increasing his True Qi.

...

「On Cold Essence Island.」

"Why do I feel like drawing in the Cold Qi is a bit sluggish?" In another Cold Cave, Han Bing's eyes shot open as he frowned.

For some reason, he felt that the speed at which he was drawing in Cold Qi had become somewhat choppy.

"Is there a problem with the Array Pattern that draws in the Cold Qi?" Han Bing's eyes showed his surprise.

However, the Cold Qi was still being drawn out, and the impact wasn't very significant. He shook his head and continued to cultivate.

In the adjacent Cold Cave, Han Jiuliang and Han Jing also noticed the problem.

"There's nothing wrong with the Array Pattern, so why is the Cold Qi fluctuating?" Even a few of the academy's elders sensed the anomaly.

This left everyone bewildered.

But at this very moment, the Cold Chi True Qi within Ling Fei's body was constantly increasing.

Originally, the True Qi in his Pill Sea was just a small puddle, and in his meridians, it was merely a trickle.

But now, the True Qi in his meridians had been completely replenished.

And this had only taken a single day.

After the True Qi in his meridians was replenished, it began to flow into his Pill Sea.

'At this rate, I'll soon be able to bring my True Qi to the level of the Mid Stage of Innate.' Ling Fei was full of anticipation for this.

Now, all that was left was to gain enlightenment of the Innate Realm.

「Late at night.」

Ling Fei submerged his Heart Spirit into his Sea of Consciousness.

Then, he began to comprehend the True Dragon Refining God Technique!

'Refine the Heart Soul with True Dragon Qi, and from this, generate Divine Soul Power...!' The Spell was mystical, but upon careful reading, Ling Fei gained some understanding.

'Divine Soul Power is like the True Qi generated by the physical body. However, Divine Soul Power has many uses, such as controlling various powerful Weapons.'

At this point, Ling Fei had a slight understanding of the uses of Divine Soul Power.

After a Cultivator steps into the Primordial Pill Realm, they will give birth to powerful Divine Soul Power.

Although Ling Fei hadn't reached this Realm yet, condensing Divine Soul Power now would lay a solid foundation for him to become a powerhouse in the future.

This would be his advantage.

'Spirit observes heart, spirit and qi unite, enter the Divine Mansion to Refine God!' After understanding the True Dragon Refining God Technique, Ling Fei circulated the Cultivation Technique and began the process of Refining God.

As he directed his Heart Spirit, the True Qi in his body moved in unison with it.

The Heart Spirit had to merge with the True Qi. To be precise, he had to fuse the True Qi into his Heart Spirit, then guide it into his mind to temper his soul.

Merging True Qi and Heart Spirit...

For an ordinary Cultivator, this was a very difficult thing to accomplish.

First, it required immense Soul Power; otherwise, it would be impossible to control True Qi with just the Heart Spirit.

Ling Fei continuously circulated the Cultivation Technique, attempting to merge with the True Qi.

Finally, after an hour, the True Qi seemed to merge with his Heart Spirit, becoming indistinguishable.

'Enter the Divine Mansion, Refine God!' Instantly, Ling Fei's Heart Spirit stirred, controlling the True Qi to enter his mind.

A person's Divine Mansion naturally exists; it is the dwelling place of the soul.

However, while the Power of Soul could be released from the Divine Mansion, other things could not enter it.

This was all because the walls of the Divine Mansion had not been opened.

In other words, the Divine Mansion had not yet been truly opened.

The True Qi continuously moved upward, arriving at the acupoint between his eyebrows.

The acupoint between the eyebrows was also known as the Divine Mansion.

However, ordinary people were completely incapable of opening a Divine Mansion.

Those who did open a Divine Mansion were all beings of vast Divine Techniques.

Therefore, Ling Fei could only merge his Heart Spirit with his True Qi and sink them into the Divine Mansion within his mind.

Otherwise, he would be unable to guide the True Qi directly into his mind.

With a thought from his Heart Spirit, it returned to his mind.

'Success!' Ling Fei's heart leaped as his Heart Spirit carried the True Qi back into his mind.

Right now, the Divine Mansion—that is, his mind—was pitch-black and the space was very small. It couldn't be considered a true Divine Mansion at all.

Here, there was only Ling Fei's soul and the True Dragon Visualization Image.

The Heart Spirit returned, bringing the True Qi with it to begin tempering his soul.

AHHH!

As the True Qi moved toward his soul, Ling Fei's entire soul began to tremble.

The Cold Qi seemed to want to Ice Seal it.

Although his Heart Spirit and True Qi had merged, the Heart Spirit was merely an existence of thought plus Divine Soul Power.

His soul, however, remained an independent entity.

The intense pain and cold made Ling Fei's soul shudder and his body tremble.

The agony was something no ordinary person could endure.

But after this excruciating pain, Ling Fei could clearly feel that his Power of Soul seemed to have grown a little stronger.

He opened his eyes, and his gaze had become somewhat sharper.

This was the result of his soul being tempered.

"Continue!" Fearless of the pain, Ling Fei continued to temper his soul.

With each successive tempering, his soul grew stronger.

...

「In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.」

After seven days of cultivation, Ling Fei's True Qi had become even more immense.

In addition, he could clearly feel his soul growing stronger.

"Celestial River Sword Technique, middle part!" On this day, Ling Fei took out the middle part of the Celestial River Sword Technique and began to comprehend it.

As he opened the Sword Technique, a flash of light and shadow appeared, and an immense Sword Qi shot toward the sky.

On the Sword Manual, a passage of text flickered and floated directly in the air.

"Celestial River Sword Technique... Sword Momentum is like a river, at times turbulent, at times calm... The sword has no forms, but man has intent, and can create the infinite!"

Not only that, but the words were also accompanied by a dense Sword Intent.

The next moment, Ling Fei saw a great, flowing river on the Sword Technique.

By the great river stood a man holding a sword, overlooking the water.

'The sword has no forms, but man has intent, and can create the infinite?' Ling Fei's heart shook, as if a vast Sword Dao was gradually unfolding before his eyes.

Gradually, Ling Fei's Heart Spirit merged into the Sword Manual.

He was like the man by the river, holding a Long Sword, comprehending Sword Intent, comprehending the Mystical of the Great River.

'What is Sword Momentum? It is sometimes turbulent, sometimes calm... Sword Momentum is like nature itself, having stillness and motion. It can be turbulent and fierce, or calm as still water... The sword can take ten thousand forms, can become ten thousand daos. The sword has no forms, but man has intent, and can create infinite Sword Forms. Sword Forms move with the heart, and are born from the heart!'

Instantly, Ling Fei gained an enlightenment regarding the Sword Dao.

Then, his Long Sword moved. As he brandished the sword, his Sword Qi surged like the rolling waters of a long river.

Immediately after, his Sword Form shifted again, and the Sword Qi became as calm as a spring breeze on one's face.

The next moment, his Long Sword tore through the air, its sharp edge breathtaking!

...

"The sword moves with the will, transforming into the infinite!" Ling Fei sheathed his sword, his gaze becoming incomparably resolute, as if a Sword Dao Mystical was coalescing within it.

Then, he whispered, "This is the True Intent of the Celestial River Sword Technique!"

At this moment, Ling Fei had clearly understood the True Intent of the Celestial River Sword Technique.

He had successfully comprehended the middle part of the Celestial River Sword Technique.
