Chapter 273 - 272: Advancing to the Spirit Sect

The Golden Dragon, exuding a True Dragon’s Might, opened its mouth. A golden pillar of Spiritual Power shot from its maw, instantly sinking into Shu Feng below.

The moment Shu Feng absorbed the golden pillar of Spiritual Power, a Spiritual Core condensed within his Dantian. Wrapped in countless Spiritual Power Crystals, it shone with dazzling brilliance, like a star.

When Spiritualists on Blue Star advanced to the Spirit Warrior realm, they condensed a Spiritual Core that would then dissolve and transform into Spiritual Meridians. Upon advancing to the Spirit Sect realm, their Spiritual Power would gather and condense once more into a Spiritual Core, this time crystallizing to envelop it.

A crystallized Spiritual Core could be extracted from the bodies of some Human Race Spiritualists on Blue Star right after their death. However, without a special Secret Treasure for storage, these Spiritual Cores would dissipate, returning to the world as Spiritual Power.

After the first Spiritual Core appeared, it evolved into a Great Sun, radiating scorching Spiritual Power. A few breaths later, another Spiritual Core emerged, this one evolving into a Spirit Moon that radiated a cool and clear Spiritual Power.

An ordinary expert in the Spirit Sect Realm would only condense a single Spiritual Core upon advancing. The Sun and Moon Scripture, however, allowed one to condense two. This was the formidable power of the Star Sacred Land’s Sect Secret Technique—a Martial Arts Holy Land in the Black Tortoise Realm.

Two streams of Spiritual Power, one yin and one yang, flowed through Shu Feng’s body, rapidly nourishing and continuously transforming his body and soul.

The boundless Medicinal Power from the Super-grade Ascension Pool also poured continuously into Shu Feng’s body, fueling his evolution.

「Two days later.」

Shu Feng slowly opened his eyes. A sharp glint flashed within them, and his aura had become terrifyingly potent. With a single thought, a stream of information appeared.

"Shu Feng."

"Skills: Middle-legendary Blood Contract, Middle-Rank Legendary Summoning Skill, Lower-Rank Legendary King’s Authority, Low-Rank Legendary Extraordinary Swordsmanship, Lower-Rank Legendary Extraordinary Physique, Lower-Rank Legendary Extraordinary Recovery, Lower-Rank Legendary Extraordinary Defense."

"Eighth Layer of Sun and Moon Scripture, Hundred Refinements Steel Body (Seventy Refinements), Ninth Layer of Illusion God Meditation Method."

"Power: 538 (+100), Agility: 516 (+100), Defense: 625 (+120), Constitution: 640 (+120), Intelligence: 575 (+100), Spirit: 620 (+100), Magic Power: 20,000,000 (+7,000,000), Fighting Spirit: 0, Badge Power: 1,320,000."

"Charm: 665 (+200), Spiritual Power: 20,000,000 (+7,000,000), High-level Soul Power: 9 (+2) units."

"Lower-Rank Legendary King’s Authority... Current range: a diameter of 500,000 kilometers."

"Middle-legendary Blood Contract... Can form a Blood Contract with up to 18 creatures! Resists damage from Demigod-Level Curse Chain Spells and Secret Techniques."

"Middle-Rank Legendary Summoning Skill... Reduces Magic Power cost for summons. Resists interfering Summoning Spells below the Demigod Level."

"Lower-Rank Legendary Extraordinary Recovery. Skill Description: Grants a fearsome recovery ability, allowing the user to consume Physical Strength and Spiritual Power to regenerate severed limbs."

"Lower-Rank Legendary Extraordinary Physique. Skill Description: Grants an incredible physique, immunity to many toxins, and powerful resistances. Only the brain and heart remain as primary vital spots."

A fiery look flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. ’Limb regeneration and fewer weak spots... I’m getting stronger and stronger. A Grandmaster probably isn’t my match anymore! I think.’

Human experts were naturally less physically robust than other races. Even an expert at the Spirit Sect Realm couldn’t regrow a severed limb without some kind of Treasure of Heaven and Earth.

The human body was quite fragile. Besides the brain and heart, the internal organs were also vital spots; a severe injury to them was essentially a death sentence. The Lower-Rank Legendary Extraordinary Physique reduced Shu Feng’s weak points, making him that much stronger.

’Even a Spirit Venerable-Level Ghost-devouring Demon can’t compare to my current physique. At my current level of strength, I can definitely hold my own against a Grandmaster-Level expert.’

Shu Feng quietly assessed his own combat power. His greatest strength was his superb physical constitution; his only weakness was a slight lack of practical combat experience.

In the past, when facing top-tier Grandmaster-Level experts, Shu Feng had always activated his Invisibility Ability and hidden on the sidelines, prudently observing the battle so as not to get in his subordinates’ way. He had never personally experienced just how powerful a Grandmaster-Level expert truly was.

’And my biggest gain from advancing to the Spirit Sect realm is awakening my Spiritual Sense. I’ll be able to sense mortal danger in advance, which greatly improves my chances of survival.’

On Blue Star, the biggest difference between an expert of the Spirit Sect Realm and one of the Great Spirit Master Level was that the former possessed crystallized Spiritual Power, with a quality ten times greater. Another was that Spirit Sect experts had an extremely powerful Spiritual Sense, allowing them to perceive all kinds of danger in advance.

After Shu Feng advanced to the Spirit Sect realm, his power and his survivability both skyrocketed. This was precisely why he had been in such a hurry to advance.

’Time to leave!’

Shu Feng climbed out of the Super-grade Ascension Pool.

’Why are so many people gathered here? And why are they all staring at me so fervently?’

When Shu Feng arrived at the foot of Heaven-Ascending Mountain, he saw dozens of experts gathered there, sizing him up with fervent gazes.

Fang Yao walked over, patted Shu Feng on the shoulder, and praised him. "Well done, Shu Feng! As expected of my disciple! You triggered the Sixth Phenomenon when you advanced to the Spirit Sect realm. That’s amazing."

Shu Feng was stunned, his feelings a mixture of joy and apprehension. "What? The Sixth Phenomenon? I don’t know whether I should be happy or worried."

In the history of Blue Star, the three people who had triggered the Sixth Phenomenon and survived had all become absurdly powerful. But far more had died tragically—either killed by Void Demons or in some other mysterious way.

Shu Feng was certain that after today, his rank on the Void Demon Hunting List would skyrocket.

Jing Yueling smiled. "Shu Feng, let me treat you to dinner tonight. What do you say?"

Shu Feng smiled. "Of course!"

Jing Yueling was the daughter of the Flame Master, Jing Chen, which in a way made her the daughter of Shu Feng’s own big boss. She was kind and gentle—at least, she was toward him. Shu Feng could find no reason to refuse.

The four of them—Fang Yao, Shu Feng, Jing Yueling, and Jing Sheng—found a luxurious hotel for dinner. During the meal, Jing Sheng took the initiative to apologize to Shu Feng, hoping to resolve the minor spat between them.

Shu Feng didn’t take it to heart and forgave Jing Sheng. After all, it hadn’t been a big deal.

In the Qianyuan Republic, the hierarchy was strict. It was very normal for the Lower Class to make way for Noble Families, Noble Families to make way for Minor Noble Families, Minor Noble Families to make way for Major Noble Families, and Major Noble Families to make way for Clans.

This was the prevailing attitude throughout the entire Qianyuan Republic, so Shu Feng didn’t think much of it.
