Chapter 171: Chapter 170: The First Divine Pass
After Young Emperor Jin and his group left in disgrace, Qin Feng unceremoniously plopped down on the ground.
"Cave Master!"
"Qin Feng!"
A few sweet cries were heard, and a faint fragrance wafted over. Qin Feng looked up and saw Baiyun, Luan Xiaochuan, Xu Jie, and Zhao Yuan all gathering around him.
"Qin Feng, are you hurt?" Baiyun’s delicate, pretty face was filled with worry, her beautiful eyes fixed almost entirely on the handsome, stubborn youth in the black robe.
The youth in the black robe was in a sorry state. His clothes were tattered, and his body was covered in mangled, bloody wounds. His black robe looked as if it were dotted with blood-red plum blossoms.
It looked as if he had been slashed dozens of times.
The sight was shocking!
Qin Feng moved slightly, and a sharp pain shot through his wounds.
A smile touched Qin Feng’s lips. He was already used to this kind of pain.
"Don’t worry. I just used up too much True Qi and am a little exhausted." A faint warmth flashed in his eyes as Qin Feng smiled at the girl in white.
A steady stream of Primordial Qi from the void surged through the Bridge of Heaven and Earth and was refined by Qin Feng, gradually replenishing his own.
His Innate True Qi was like a source of life, its wisps gently cleansing his wounds, some of which were already starting to scab over.
Her watery eyes fell upon the black-robed youth who was leaning against the Profound Water Spirit Peach Wood to regulate his breathing. Yun Mo glanced at the concerned Baiyun, a complex glint in her beautiful eyes, and said coolly, "Don’t worry, Junior Sister Baiyun. That guy won’t die. I can see his vital essence is flourishing. Aside from some flesh wounds, he has no internal injuries!"
"It’s just that, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe that Young Emperor Jin suffered such a major defeat at the hands of a little lecher who seems so frivolous and worthless, and whose cultivation is only at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven!"
Her tone was laced with sarcasm. With a glance at the black-robed youth, Yun Mo snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Qin Feng opened his eyes and glanced at the girl in the black dress. She was clearly angry with him.
Qin Feng pouted. ’She’s still blaming me for that? If she hadn’t insisted on acting so seductively to tempt me back then, how would I have taken advantage of her?’
After resting for a moment, Qin Feng stood up. The wounds on his body were already seventy to eighty percent healed.
His immense aura was like the sun at high noon!
His cultivation at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Middle Stage had completely stabilized!
"Such powerful regenerative ability! Even though a Martial Artist’s recovery is extremely strong, is it really this exaggerated?" Luan Xiaochuan, Xu Jie, and Zhao Yuan weren’t the only ones who were shocked.
Baiyun, who had taken in the whole scene, also had a brilliant light shining in her beautiful eyes.
Even an expert at the Condensing Vein Realm, after being baptized by the Heaven and Earth Power, would only have a physique of this level.
Over the next few days, Qin Feng focused all his energy on stabilizing his realm and familiarizing himself with the power of the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven Realm.
There are four Divine Passes to break through in the Martial Arts Ninth Layer. What Qin Feng had broken through was only the first Martial Arts Divine Pass.
Generally speaking, once a martial artist breaks through the first Martial Arts Divine Pass, they are qualified to prepare to ascend to the Condensing Vein Realm. As long as their artistic conception reaches Perfection, they can take the opportunity to condense a Seed of Heaven and Earth.
In reality, a Seed of Heaven and Earth condensed this way is incomplete and considered inferior by most experts.
In other words, it is what’s known as a Lower Grade.
Therefore, this imperfect first Divine Pass is also called the Incomplete Divine Pass.
However, it is a different story once one breaks through the Second and Third Divine Passes, as one can continue to excavate the Divine Storage Essence Qi within the Divine Passes.
With each portion of Divine Storage Essence Qi obtained from a Divine Pass, one’s foundation becomes that much more profound.
However, only a small number of top-tier Martial Arts Foundation Establishment Techniques can open the Second Divine Pass, the Third Divine Pass, and even the most difficult Fourth Divine Pass.
Generally, for those who open the Second and Third Divine Passes, the Seed of Heaven and Earth they condense will be much more substantial than that of an ordinary Martial Artist. Naturally, after they break through to the Condensing Vein Realm, the time they are refined by the Heaven and Earth Power will be longer, making them even more powerful.
Therefore, this type of Seed of Heaven and Earth, with its fuller essence qi and more perfected spiritual apertures, is called a Mid-grade Heaven and Earth Seed by martial artists.
Only by breaking through all four Divine Passes can one achieve a truly perfect and flawless Divine Pass. This allows for the condensation of a Perfect Seed of Heaven and Earth.
A truly perfect Seed of Heaven and Earth has nine apertures and eight orifices.
An Ancient Dao Scripture once said: "One with nine apertures can achieve divine communication!"
The *Innate Primordial Qi* is a top-tier Martial Arts Foundation Establishment Technique of the Martial Arts Thirteen Realms. Its ultimate goal is to open the sealed Fourth Martial Arts Divine Pass and forge a perfect Divine Pass.
In three days, Qin Feng gradually gained perfect control over the explosive increase in power from the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven Realm.
At the same time, he began to make headway on the 8th Layer of the *Geng Metal Breaking Killing Sword Technique*.
The fourth day was the day Spirit Sword Peak opened.
Early morning on Heavenly Red Peak was bathed in crimson dawn. A vast sea of clouds stretched to the horizon, from which a red sun leaped forth, dividing the skyline with an indescribable magnificence.
Qin Feng sat cross-legged on a cliff, absorbing the morning’s purple qi to temper his physical body. Purple qi swirled between his brows, and his black robes seemed to be bathed in a crimson light.
He looked like a god descended to the mortal world—with sword-like brows, star-like eyes, and a divinely handsome bearing.
Baiyun and Yun Mo walked over from the side of the mountain, chatting and laughing. The two of them were like fairies gliding over water. Upon seeing the black-robed youth sitting cross-legged, the girl in the black dress turned her face away and snorted through her delicate nose.
As if sensing something, Qin Feng opened his eyes. A wisp of purple qi flashed through his dark pupils.
"Junior Brother, Spirit Sword Peak opens today. We should get going!" Baiyun walked up to him. The young woman was lovely in her white palace dress and a fine lady’s topknot, her fair and delicate face flushed with a charming rosy hue.
"Do you... need your senior sister to give you a ride?" The girl stood slightly on her tiptoes, her pretty face growing a little warm as she asked the question.
"Senior Sister, don’t even think about it! This little lecher would be begging for the chance. Any man would agree to be with a great beauty like you, let alone this big-tailed wolf!"
Glancing at Qin Feng, the black-dressed girl’s seductive face showed a trace of disdain.
Qin Feng stood up and stretched, shaking off the lingering drowsiness from a night of meditation. "Yun Mo’er," he said lazily, "are you jealous? Why don’t you just admit that you fell in love with me after watching me display my divine power and crush that good-for-nothing Young Emperor Jin? Why be so coy about it?"
After speaking, Qin Feng’s gaze swept over the trembling, heart-stirring expanse of white on Yun Mo’s chest.
"For the sake of your... generous assets, I will mercifully consider taking you in!"
"Qin Feng, you big lecher!" Yun Mo shrieked as if someone had stepped on her tail. She covered her chest with one hand, guarding against him as if he were a thief. But her assets were simply too prominent, and the gesture only made her seem all the more alluring.
Yun Mo gritted her teeth, looking as if she were about to resort to violence.
Baiyun glanced helplessly at the bickering pair. Ever since the girl in black learned that Qin Feng had deliberately toyed with her, she had been at odds with the youth in black.
Whenever they met, they would glare at each other.
Baiyun pulled them apart and said, "Alright, you two act like you were enemies in a past life!"
"Spirit Sword Peak will only be open for one day. We have to hurry. If we miss this chance, we’ll have to wait another ten years. It doesn’t matter for the two of us, but Junior Brother Qin Feng, you can’t miss this opportunity!"
"If you can find a compatible Spirit Sword, your *Geng Metal Breaking Killing Sword Technique* might even reach Perfection in one fell swoop!"
