Divine-level Base

Chapter 420: Chapter 420: 4.5 Million Source Energy

Shu Feng arrived at Ocean Amber Mountain. With a thought, he summoned a swarm of Demonized Giant Earthworms.

The Demonized Giant Earthworms pounced on the Ocean Amber Mountain. Their sharp mouthparts tore into it frantically, continuously biting off chunks of Ocean Amber and spitting them toward Shu Feng.

As soon as the pieces of Ocean Amber flew to Shu Feng’s side, he would grab them and directly absorb them into his Base Space.

"Source Energy +100!"

"Source Energy +200!"

"..."

Countless notification sounds for Source Energy chimed continuously, filling Shu Feng with immense satisfaction.

In just a single day, the fifty-meter-tall Ocean Amber Mountain was completely devoured by the Demonized Giant Earthworms and sent into the Resource Dissolving Pool by Shu Feng, yielding a harvest of 4.5 million Source Energy in one go.

’4.5 million Source Energy... this is fantastic. With so much of it, how should I use it?’

Shu Feng looked at the massive amount of Source Energy, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly in a hint of excitement.

’I can put upgrading the Base aside for now. The most pressing matter is still to improve my own strength. Using Source Energy to directly enhance my physical constitution would be far too wasteful.’

’The Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique! I have to get it. Only then can I achieve a perfect advancement to Martial Venerable! It’s not impossible to advance to Martial Venerable using the Gu Demon Technique, but it will ultimately be a tier lower than using the Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique.’

The Gu Demon Technique was the prerequisite Martial Art for the Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique. If one advanced to Martial Venerable using the Gu Demon Technique, they would ultimately be slightly inferior to an expert who advanced using the Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique.

In the Black Tortoise Realm, geniuses were as common as clouds, and all sorts of mysterious and strange Martial Arts emerged endlessly. Peerless Martial Arts like the Sun and Moon Scripture were even half a step above the Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique.

If Shu Feng couldn’t pursue perfection in every realm and cultivate to the absolute limit, it would be impossible for him to become a Martial Saint at the very Peak of this world.

The City Lord of War Immortal City, Wei Tuxian, who suppressed demons all by himself, was Shu Feng’s ultimate goal. Only by becoming an expert on Wei Tuxian’s level would he have a chance to find a way to advance to a Divine Spirit.

「Several months later, at Bi Yao Ling Mountain’s Shirei Peak.」

"Han Feng, you brat, you’re finally back. You’re a Grandmaster now, aren’t you?"

Hua Shilei looked at Shu Feng, who was sitting casually in front of her. A complex emotion flashed through her beautiful eyes as she spoke with a radiant smile.

The Twelve Giant Demons had besieged Qiguang City. As the City Lord, Shu Feng had slain their leader, Mo Hu, and the rest of the giant demons, making a name for himself throughout the Great Zhou Demon Country. Everyone now knew that a formidable character had emerged among the Inner Sect Disciples of the Bi Yao Demon Sect.

Although Hua Shilei wasn’t afraid of Mo Hu himself, she understood just how terrifying the Twelve Giant Demons were. Even she could be surrounded and killed by the Twelve Giant Demons under Mo Hu’s command if she were the slightest bit careless.

Shu Feng was merely a Grand Martial Master, yet he had slain Mo Hu and subdued the Sea-Stepping Demon Marshal Sun Yiluo and the Flipping River Dragon Guo Hai. Such methods and strength were simply heaven-defying.

Shu Feng said flatly, "I just advanced to Grandmaster not long ago."

’A Grandmaster!! This guy... he advanced to Grandmaster in less than two years. That kind of Talent is simply heaven-defying.’

Hua Shilei gasped, a flash of envy in her beautiful eyes. She, too, was a peerless genius in the eyes of others, but it had taken her over a decade to cultivate from a Martial Artist apprentice to the Grandmaster Realm.

Shu Feng had cultivated for less than two years and had already advanced to Grandmaster. Such a cultivation speed was simply heaven-defying.

"This is your share!"

With a flick of his finger, Shu Feng sent a Storage Ring flying into Hua Shilei’s hand.

’So many resources! And this is only a tenth of it. He must have gotten even more from Qiguang City. No wonder his cultivation is so fast.’

Hua Shilei swept her Spirit Power across the Storage Ring. A strange light flashed in her beautiful eyes as she smiled radiantly. "You really are a man of your word. My efforts to help you weren’t in vain."

Shu Feng smiled faintly. "Senior Sister, there’s something else I’d like to ask for your help with."

Hua Shilei’s eyelid twitched. "What is it?"

Shu Feng smiled. "I want to study the Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique, but I don’t have enough Sect Contribution. I was hoping you could lend me some."

A sense of foreboding rose in Hua Shilei’s heart. "How much are you short?"

Shu Feng said frankly, "I’m short by half!"

The Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique was one of the two great Sect’s Profound Techniques of the Bi Yao Demon Sect. The Sect Contribution required to cultivate this technique was as vast as a mountain or a sea. Although Shu Feng had performed a great service in Qiguang City, his Sect Contribution was still not enough to exchange for this Sect’s Profound Technique.

The smile on Hua Shilei’s pretty face vanished completely. She glared at Shu Feng and said through clenched teeth, "Half! You might as well have asked me to pay for all of it for you!"

Shu Feng chuckled. "If you’re willing to cover the whole cost for me, that would be even better!"

Hua Shilei rolled her eyes at Shu Feng. "That’s impossible! I need Sect Contribution for my own cultivation too!"

The Bi Yao Demon Sect Headquarters had all kinds of precious cultivation grounds like the Profound Energy Tower, the Gravity Room, and Gale Canyon. Using any of these cultivation grounds required spending Sect Contribution.

In addition, exchanging for Top Level Spirit Pills that were simply unavailable in the outside world also required Sect Contribution. Naturally, Hua Shilei couldn’t possibly waste her precious Sect Contribution on Shu Feng.

Hua Shilei suggested, "Han Feng, once you become a True Disciple, you’ll have the chance to choose one Cultivation Technique to study. You can choose the Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique then, and it won’t cost you a single point of Sect Contribution."

The benefits for a True Disciple of the Bi Yao Demon Sect were excellent. One such benefit was being able to cultivate one of the two great Sect’s Divine Techniques for free.

If a True Disciple had already cultivated both of the Bi Yao Demon Sect’s two great Sect’s Divine Techniques, they could also choose to cultivate one of the sect’s four great Divine Techniques.

The four great Divine Techniques of the Bi Yao Demon Sect were the Flower Fairy Stroll, the Yin Yang Qi Finger, the Ten Thousand Flowers Demon Sword, and the City-Overturning Illusory Gaze. Aside from these four Divine Techniques, the Bi Yao Demon Sect also had a collection of various other Martial Techniques, but they were all more than a notch inferior to the four great Divine Techniques.

Shu Feng smiled faintly. "That’s what I was planning, too."

A solemn look flashed in Hua Shilei’s beautiful eyes. "Shu Feng, the person who takes first place among the Inner Sect Disciples in the sect’s grand competition will be directly promoted to a True Disciple. Among this generation of Inner Sect Disciples, there’s only one person you need to pay some attention to. That’s Huang Pu Lihua. Her Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique is said to have already reached the Minor Achievement Realm. It’s a huge counter to your Gu Demon Technique!"

Shu Feng said flatly, "I will be the one to take first place among the Inner Sect Disciples this time. You don’t have to worry."

Bi Yao Ling Mountain’s Cloud Consort Peak was the Spirit Peak occupied by the Bi Yao Demon Sect’s number one True Disciple, Xu Yunfei.

Inside an elegant cave residence on Cloud Consort Peak sat two peerless beauties. One, dressed in white, had an ethereal and Extraordinary air, with a sacred and beautiful appearance. The other, dressed in colorful clothes, was elegant and stunningly gorgeous, exuding an aura of endless charm.
