Chapter 271 - 270: Flood Dragon Pearl

Fang Yao put on a look of extreme reluctance. ’I have to look more conflicted first, or that sly fox Jing Sheng will never fall for the bait.’

Jing Sheng sneered, pressing his advantage. "Miss Fang, you’re not getting cold feet, are you?"

Fang Yao gritted her teeth and spat out, "Fine! I’ll take your bet!"

Jing Sheng roared with laughter. "You’ve already lost!"

Jing Yueling watched quietly from the sidelines. ’Fang Yao actually dared to make a bet like that with Jing Sheng. Could Shu Feng really be confident in achieving the Flood Dragon Pearl Phenomenon? If he succeeds, that would be truly terrifying.’

For a mere third-year high school student like Shu Feng to have already advanced to the Spirit Sect Realm, and to condense the Flood Dragon Pearl Phenomenon upon his advancement, was simply unheard of.

Fang Yao glanced at Song Nanxin and ordered, "Song Nanxin, go and prepare some tea and snacks for us!"

"Yes, Miss Fang!"

Song Nanxin gave a wry smile. With a wave of his hand, ten paper figures flew out and transformed into ten expressionless beauties.

The ten expressionless beauties quickly went up the mountain, setting out tables, chairs, tea sets, and pastries. Song Nanxin, however, took it upon himself to brew tea for the two ladies. The paper figures weren’t capable of such delicate work.

The vast majority of those who could use the Super-grade Ascension Pool for their transformation were geniuses from powerful Noble Families and Clans, all led by their elders. Song Nanxin couldn’t afford to offend a single one of them, and as a result, he had honed his tea-brewing skills to perfection.

Nine hours later, in the direction of the Super-grade Ascension Pool, a terrifying Spiritual Pressure began to brew, drawing in all the Spiritual Qi within a thousand-meter radius.

"It’s starting!" The gazes of everyone present instantly focused on the Super-grade Ascension Pool.

Above the Ascension Pool, a dazzling Spiritual Light suddenly appeared, then vanished in an instant. This was the first phenomenon of advancing to the Spirit Sect Realm: Flash of Spiritual Light.

Dozens of breaths later, a black pillar of light shot straight up into the sky. This was the second phenomenon of advancing to the Spirit Sect Realm: Black Profound Light.

After the Black Profound Light vanished into the sky, it seemed to connect with some unseen Law in the firmament, devouring the surrounding Spiritual Power and beginning to evolve into a great black serpent a hundred meters long. This was the third phenomenon of advancing to the Spirit Sect Realm: the Black Water Profound Serpent.

’The third phenomenon: Black Water Profound Serpent! This kid’s foundations run deep. He’s a little monster! No wonder Fang Yao was so confident.’

As Jing Sheng stared at the hundred-meter-long black serpent in the sky, a trace of unease suddenly stirred in his heart. He had originally thought that Shu Feng would, at most, only be able to manifest the third phenomenon, the Black Water Profound Serpent. Yet, the third phenomenon had already appeared, and there were no signs of it ending.

Song Nanxin looked at the sky, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. ’The third phenomenon, Black Water Profound Serpent. I wonder if it can complete the Profound Snake into Flood Dragon transformation! That’s the most difficult step. Countless geniuses have been stuck right there!’

Song Nanxin himself had once been a cultivation genius. Unfortunately, when he advanced to the Spirit Sect Realm, his phenomenon had only reached the third stage: the Black Water Profound Serpent.

Fang Yao stared at the Black Water Profound Serpent in the sky, her heart pounding with nervousness. ’My good disciple, you have to make me proud! You absolutely must complete the transformation from Profound Snake into Flood Dragon!’

Jing Yueling gazed silently into the void. ’Whether he’s a fish or a dragon, it all depends on this transformation!’

"The third phenomenon, Black Water Profound Serpent! Someone’s breaking through. I just wonder if they can manage the transformation into a Flood Dragon!"

"Profound Snake into Flood Dragon... That’s the hardest part. Whether they’re a fish or a dragon, it all comes down to this step!"

The powerful experts scattered throughout the Wolong Mountain Range had all seen the Black Water Profound Serpent suspended in the void, and their eyes glinted with curiosity.

The Black Water Profound Serpent phenomenon was the one most frequently seen in the Wolong Mountain Range, since those who came here to transform were, after all, geniuses from Noble Families. But to take the next step and achieve the Flood Dragon Pearl phenomenon was a rare sight indeed.

The Black Water Profound Serpent in the sky opened its mouth and inhaled, completely absorbing all the Spiritual Power within a thousand-meter radius. A continuous stream of Spiritual Qi then gathered from all directions, flowing into the serpent’s body.

A single horn slowly emerged from the Black Water Profound Serpent’s forehead, and flood dragon claws extended from its body. Before everyone’s eyes, a Flood Dragon appeared, holding a Flood Dragon Pearl in its mouth.

A look of wild joy flashed in Fang Yao’s eyes as she roared with laughter, "The fourth phenomenon, Flood Dragon Pearl! HAHA! Jing Sheng, you lose! When do you plan on giving me those ten Top-grade Spirit Stones? If you can’t cough them up, you can just sell yourself into servitude!"

With a dark expression, Jing Sheng gritted his teeth. "You’ll have them in ten days!"

Ten Top-grade Spirit Stones were no small sum, even for Jing Sheng. He would have to ask the Jing Family for help to be able to produce so many Top-grade Spirit Stones in such a short time.

A brilliant light flashed in Jing Yueling’s lovely eyes. ’Flood Dragon Pearl... The fourth phenomenon! How incredible!’

Song Nanxin was filled with envy. ’Flood Dragon Pearl! Shu Feng... he’s a true, unadulterated genius!’

"Flood Dragon Pearl, the fourth phenomenon! Our Qianyuan Republic has produced another genius with the potential to become a Spirit Saint!"

"So this is what the fourth phenomenon, Flood Dragon Pearl, looks like!"

"Who on earth is it that managed to condense a phenomenon like the Flood Dragon Pearl?"

Shock flashed in the eyes of the powerful experts scattered across the Wolong Mountain Range. The third phenomenon was common, but the fourth was as rare as a phoenix’s feather.

With the pearl in its mouth, the black Flood Dragon opened its maw and inhaled once more. All the Spiritual Power within a ten-thousand-meter radius was instantly devoured, forming a vortex of Spiritual Power that swirled madly toward it.

"What’s going on? Don’t tell me... is that person condensing the Fifth Phenomenon: Black Dragon Soaring Through the Mist?"

"Impossible! How many years has it been since the Black Dragon Soaring Through the Mist last appeared?"

"Is that really the fifth phenomenon?"

"Let’s go see who it is! Who could be condensing the fifth phenomenon?!"

Seeing the black Flood Dragon’s continued transformation, the experts scattered across the Wolong Mountain Range lost their composure and began flying toward Heaven-Ascending Mountain.

Although the fourth phenomenon, Flood Dragon Pearl, was rare, one could still be seen on average every three years. But the fifth phenomenon, Black Dragon Soaring Through the Mist, was exceedingly rare. On average, one would only appear every twenty, or even thirty, years.

As long as they didn’t die prematurely, the vast majority of geniuses who condensed the fifth phenomenon would easily advance to the Spirit Venerable Realm. Many would even reach the Half-Saint level, and several had even become Spirit Saints.

Spirit Saint Wu Zhongchao and Primordial Daoist Sect Leader Ji Yuanshi were two such peerless experts who had condensed the Fifth Phenomenon: Black Dragon Soaring Through the Mist. Among the Qianyuan Republic’s Five Great Spirit Saints, these two were the most powerful, far surpassing the other three.
