Chapter 973: Chapter 970: Breakthrough, Spiritual Rotation Realm Eightfold!
The night falls, and the stars are brilliant.
Within Yao Light Lake, a round moon is reflected, colorful clouds twisting and changing on the lake surface, appearing like a dreamlike scenery.
Panlong Residence.
"Senior Brother Luo Feng."
Luo Feng had just finished cultivating when the sound of knocking came, accompanied by Nanxuan’s clear voice.
Luo Feng remembered the celebration tonight and got up to open the courtyard gate.
In the courtyard, Nanxuan, Lin Yue’er, and Lin Xin were standing.
"Where’s Xia Yunjing?"
Luo Feng glanced around and asked.
Upon hearing this, Nanxuan shook her head and said disappointedly, "I went to Meteor Star Hall, but I heard that Senior Sister Xia Yunjing is in seclusion, and I didn’t see her."
Luo Feng nodded, guessing that it was because of the incident during the day that Xia Yunjing had been punished by Law Enforcement Elder Gu Xifeng.
"By the way, Senior Brother, Senior Sister Xia asked someone to bring out a letter, and she wants me to personally hand it to you."
Nanxuan suddenly clapped her hands and took out a carefully sealed letter.
"A letter from Xia Yunjing for me?"
Luo Feng raised an eyebrow, took the letter, flicked open the seal, and read it.
The letter, carrying a faint fragrance, had only three words.
I’m sorry.
The handwriting was neat and delicate, with some blotches of ink beside it, indicating that the writer pondered for some time before jotting down these three words.
Luo Feng smiled faintly, clenched his five fingers, and the letter instantly crumbled into powder.
"Senior Brother, what does Senior Sister Xia want from you?" Nanxuan asked curiously.
Luo Feng shook his head, "Nothing, just congratulating me on achieving fourth place on the personal battle record list. Come on, let’s go inside."
He can clearly discern right from wrong; today’s events are between him and Law Enforcement Elder Gu Xifeng. Xia Yunjing did nothing wrong, and for someone highly respected to step forward and speak for him is already very rare.
The four walked into the courtyard, with Nanxuan speaking excitedly as they went:
"Senior Brother, today I went to the nearby Smoky Water City and Spirit Wave City, bought a lot of delicious food, you must try them."
Lin Yue’er made a hush gesture, "Quiet down a bit, if it gets to Law Enforcement Elder’s ears, we could be punished."
Nanxuan stuck out her pink tongue.
Luo Feng smiled lightly and closed the courtyard gate.
The so-called celebration was just a small gathering of four.
However, for the monotonous and dull training, such an indulgence was already quite enjoyable.
While eating, Luo Feng spoke about the Blood Poison Demonic General’s attack on Dayang City and the Business Alliance Conference, causing Nanxuan and the others to experience intense anticipations. Upon hearing the exciting parts, they cheered repeatedly, creating a joyful atmosphere.
Late night.
Nanxuan and the other two bade farewell and returned.
The night was deep, and the cool moonlight covered the entire Panlong Residence.
Luo Feng sat cross-legged by the pond, gazing at the round moon reflected on the water, and muttered to himself:
"I hope to break through to the eighth stage of the Spiritual Rotation Realm within a month! Then consume the Star Fighting Yuan Spirit Pill; this way, before returning to Panlong City, I should be able to raise my cultivation to the mid-eighth stage of the Spiritual Rotation Realm..."
Exhaling a deep breath, Luo Feng brushed his fingers over the Washing Dragon Ring. A thumb-sized blue Spirit Pill appeared in his hand.
The Spirit Pill was sparkling and translucent, with fine patterns on its surface. Upon closer inspection, one could see a blood-colored light flowing within the patterns, resembling muscle veins, full of profound mystery.
This was a reward for the top ten in the team competition, a fifth-grade high-level Spirit Pill – Red Blood Yuan Pill, suitable for helping martial artists in the Spiritual Rotation Realm to break through, and just right for Luo Feng to use now.
The eighth and ninth stages of the Spiritual Rotation Realm are known as Sky Pass and Heaven Gate, respectively, requiring the awakening of the Underworld Dantian and the Meridian Wheel in the Heavenly Court’s Heaven Gate, which is extraordinary.
Breaking through these two stages is several times, even ten times more challenging than the previous seven stages! Otherwise, many people wouldn’t be stuck below the eighth stage of the Spiritual Rotation Realm for years without breaking through.
These two stages can be said to be the real bottleneck of the Spiritual Rotation Realm.
Luo Feng is confident to break through to the eighth stage of the Spiritual Rotation Realm within a month, not only due to his confidence in his talent and the Divine Dragon Nine Changes but also because he retains the Yuan Qi of the peak eighth-stage martial artist in his body, undoubtedly opening a shortcut to the eighth stage.
Of course, this is just his speculation, the actual effect will only be known after trial.
Without too much hesitation, Luo Feng took out a third-grade Yuan Stone and placed it aside, flicked his fingers, and the Red Blood Yuan Pill fell into his mouth.
Buzz!
The pill melted upon entering his mouth, transforming into a slightly burning liquid flowing into his lungs.
Instantly, a warm aura spread throughout his body, with fourteen awakened Spiritual Rotations inside feeling slightly hot, spinning rapidly, and he could clearly feel the rich cosmic Yuan Qi gathering around.
Luo Feng knew the Red Blood Yuan Pill had begun to work and immediately closed his eyes to operate the Divine Dragon Nine Changes.
Dragon roars echoed, and under the effect of the Red Blood Yuan Pill, Luo Feng operated the Divine Dragon Nine Changes more smoothly; where a Grand Circulation Cycle was completed, now a cycle and a half could be done, reducing the time by one-third.
Not daring to slack off, Luo Feng cleared his mind of distractions and focused entirely on cultivation.
An entire night passed in silence.
Time swiftly passed. In the following days, at night, Luo Feng diligently practiced the Divine Dragon Nine Changes, while during the day, he trained Sky Cloud Step and Sky Fire King Fist, aiming to cultivate both martial arts to the Great Achievement Realm as soon as possible.
As for Spring Breeze-as-Heart-Wills Blade and Thunder Fire Shocking Heavens Blade, breakthroughs in a short period seemed unlikely, thus temporarily set aside.
On the seventh day, the Sky Cloud Step met expectations and finally made progress, entering the eighth stage, taking a step closer to the ninth stage Great Achievement.
Once Sky Cloud Step reaches the ninth stage, not only will speed greatly increase, but the flames of the Step of Sky-Burning Monarch will change from dark red to gold, with power incomparable to present.
Another ten days passed.
The night was as silent as water.
Within Panlong Residence.
Luo Feng sat cross-legged by the pond, with hands placed on his knees, holding a Yuan Stone in each palm, steam rising from his head.
Originally, according to his estimation, breaking through the eighth stage of the Spiritual Rotation Realm should take nearly a month to have a chance.
Unexpectedly, only seventeen days passed, and the source Yuan Qi residual from the peak eighth-stage martial artist within had been thoroughly refined, awakening seven Spiritual Rotations within, all appearing full, with the Meridian Wheel in the Underworld Dantian swelling faintly, showing signs of awakening.
Luo Feng knew the time had arrived, and so directly took out two third-grade Yuan Stones, operated Divine Dragon Nine Changes with full effort, attacking the bottleneck.
Roar...
With each completed Grand Circulation Cycle, the dragon roars within Luo Feng grew louder, and Yuan Qi waves repeatedly impacted the two Meridian Wheels in the Underworld Dantian.
In the courtyard, seven translucent dragon-shaped shadows tossed about ceaselessly, with Luo Feng sitting in the center, frowning and relaxing alternately, his clothes drenched in sweat but seemingly unaware.
Two hours passed.
Twelve hours passed.
...
Crack!
Unaware of the time passed, the third-grade Yuan Stone in Luo Feng’s right hand cracked and turned into powder.
A third-grade Yuan Stone is equivalent to one thousand second-grade Yuan Stones, and this one night had consumed an entire one thousand second-grade Yuan Stones! And it continued.
After a long time passed, when the morning star appeared in the sky.
Suddenly, the seven dragon-shaped shadows gave a long roar, rushed into Luo Feng’s Dantian, and with a plop, a transparent ripple burst from him, spreading like water waves.
Crack!
A nearby rockery shattered into scattered rubble; waves surged in the pond, uncontrollable, even the cloud sea outside Panlong Residence vanished partially.
"Oh!"
At the peak of East Spirit Peak, inside a magnificent palace, Shui Linglong opened her eyes during cultivation, gazing towards Panlong Residence, her beautiful eyes showing a thoughtful expression, self-talking:
"Eighth stage of Spiritual Rotation Realm! How could it be so fast, almost twice the time I projected. Did he consume the Starfight Juggernaut Pill earlier?"
Thinking of this, Shui Linglong slightly furrowed her brows, with worry in her eyes, her figure blinking and disappearing from the palace.
The power of the Starfight Juggernaut Pill is extraordinary; with one mistake, one may be injured or even face complete cultivation destruction—the very reason Elder Yue had repeatedly reminded Luo Feng to consume it only after breaking through the eighth stage of the Spiritual Rotation Realm.
