C22 Sixth Level of Body Refinement

chapter 22 - Sixth Layer of Body Refining Stage.

The Body Refining Stage was extremely important to a martial artist. Whether the foundation of the Body Refining Stage was solid or not, it could help determine how far one could walk on the path of martial cultivation in the future.

It was the reason Ye Feng was extremely serious with his cultivation. He didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

The process of the elemental energy tempering his body and nourishing his meridians and bones continued. The improvement of his strength was becoming more and more obvious.

'Am I going to break through to the Sixth Layer of Body Refining Stage?'

Secretly delighted, Ye Feng couldn't help but speed up the process of activating the Cultivation Method.

Suddenly he heard a soft noise. A ball of light slowly came out from his body and rose into the air. Then it finally settled on the top of Ye Feng's head.

The mass of light seemed to be coming from inside a transparent pearl with strange power surging on the surface.

"You little thing, are you here to ruin my plans again?"

Ye Feng frowned. At that moment, he was at the critical moment of breaking through to the next realm. The appearance of the pearl was nothing more than to absorb the elemental energy in his body.

If that was the case, then Ye Feng's breakthrough would fail.

Ye Feng was in the middle of contemplating when a powerful suction force burst out from the bead. In the next moment, the elemental energy in the spatial zone crazily rushed towards the direction of the bead.

Ye Feng was startled. Under the powerful suction force, he could feel that the elemental energy in his body was rapidly slipping away.

Although, he knew that the bead would release the green dew drops after absorbing the elemental energy to its maximum capacity and would bring him great benefits. However, Ye Feng did not want the bead to absorb the elemental energy at this critical moment of breaking through.

'I can't allow this little thing to absorb my elemental energy without any restraint,'

Ye Feng thought to himself as he felt the elemental energy in his body was draining faster.

It wasn't a good thing for the bead to absorb the elemental energy without any restraint. If this continued for a long period of time, Ye Feng's cultivation base would stop for a period of time. By then, others would surpass his strength.

Once the bead fully absorbed the elemental energy, Ye Feng's cultivation base would increase tremendously. If Ye Feng's cultivation base improved too quickly, it would attract the attention of others, and it might cause unnecessary trouble.

'If the bead has such a powerful effect, then it must not be an ordinary object. So, this bead must have a certain amount of intelligence. Since it has spirituality, then the Divine Sense of a cultivator can control it.'

Ye Feng's eyes sparkled as the idea popped in his head. He had come to such a bold conclusion in his heart.

Immediately, he formed and cast seals with his hands. As they landed on the surface of the bead, the Seal's light enveloped the bead.

At the same time, the Divine Sense in Ye Feng's mind glowed brightly. It fused with the Seal's light and seeped into the surface of the pearl bit by bit, entering the interior of the pearl.

In just an instant, Ye Feng's Divine Sense seemed to have entered a deep space. His surroundings were pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.

'What is this place?'

Ye Feng muttered to himself, stunned. The image in front of him was a little different from what he had imagined.

Helpless, he had no choice but to use the Divine Sense to walk around in the space. Without any specific direction or goal, he moved forward aimlessly.

After an unknown amount of time, a little light finally appeared in front of him. It was especially conspicuous in this dark space.

"What is that?"

Ye Feng could feel his heart beat in excitement. As the saying goes, if there is a light, there is hope. He couldn't help but increase the speed of the Divine Sense.

As he went closer and closer to it, a powerful suction force swept out from the dot of light.

The suction force became too strong as it dragged Ye Feng's Divine Sense towards it. Dizzy, Ye Feng closed his vision.

Ye Feng felt his Divine Sense enter another spatial zone. When he opened his vision, unlike the previous dark spatial zone, this spatial zone was extremely bright, and it could even be called dazzling.

In the center of the spatial zone was an extremely large green mass of light floating in the void, emitting green light waves.

The mass of light was connected to countless threads. These threads crisscrossed and connected in all directions as if they were the meridians of a human body.

The silk threads were transparent. Among them, there were also milky white elemental energies flowing. It was moving towards the huge pale green mass of light in the middle, and new elemental energies were converging with the mass of light.

An incomparably dense Yuan Power aura was spreading in the space.

"What the?"

Ye Feng was stunned to see the shocking scene. It seemed like this spatial zone was the central region of the pearl.

His eyes landed on the pale green mass of light in the center. He could clearly see the evolution of a large amount of Yuan Power within the mass of light. From the gaseous state, it transformed into a liquid state, and then through layers of purification, it finally transformed into a tiny green dew drops, and finally, accumulated together.

"Is this how the green dew drops are formed?"

Ye Feng's heart became restless. It was hard for him to imagine how such a mysterious thing was formed.

'That pale green mass of light seems to be the core area of this bead. If I can control it, maybe I can control this bead,'

Ye Feng thought to himself. Without any hesitation, he approached the mass of light using the Divine Sense. As he got closer, an incomparably pure elemental energy surrounded him.

Ye Feng frowned. His Divine Sense felt even more pressured as waves of force descended on him.

'This pressure is so strong!'

The extreme pressure made him feel as if it was squeezing his Divine Sense to deform it.

Ye Feng gritted his teeth and held on. He paused for a moment, then slowly moved the Divine Sense forward. He exerted the Power of Divine Sense in his mind to its strongest state.

Within the pearl, Ye Feng instantly became a little stronger. He took a deep breath before breaking his Divine Sense through the restraint of the elemental energy and headed towards the interior of the light green mass of light.

It didn't take Ye Feng's Divine Sense long to arrive at the core area of the mass of light.

Once there, he saw a crystal formed with spirit energy emitting waves of spiritual power. He instantly knew that the crystal was equivalent to a human's heart or brain. If his Divine Sense could control the energy crystal, then he could control the bead as well.

A strange sound resonated. This time, Ye Feng's Divine Sense easily entered the spirit energy crystal. He then tried to fuse it with the spiritual energy stored in the crystal.

During the process of fusing, a large number of spells related to controlling the bead suddenly appeared in his mind. Ye Feng was overjoyed.

It seemed like using his Divine Sense to control the bead was the right choice. Once he finished fusing all the spiritual energy in the crystal, he would obtain all the spells. Then he could control the bead as he pleased.

He would be able to control the bead whenever it wanted to absorb the elemental energy.

An unknown period of time passed, Ye Feng was finally done with the fusion of spiritual energy. At the same time, a large number of control spells were transmitted in his mind through the integration of spirit energy.

'I've finally completed it!'

A satisfied smile appeared on Ye Feng's face as he quickly controlled the Divine Sense to withdraw from the bead. Then he used the divine stone to order the bead to stop absorbing the elemental energy.

Soon, the suction force disappeared. Its light was no longer dazzling as it fell into Ye Feng's palm.

Ye Feng checked the bead to see if there was anything wrong with it, then put it away after with a satisfied expression on his face. He then circulated the Essence Condensation Technique again and started cultivating.

The next day, Ye Feng stepped out of his room. The aura around his body became purer and stronger, and his deep pupils shone with a dazzling light. It was as if he had been reborn.

It took him, after all, several hours of cultivation, Ye Feng's cultivation base had broken through to the Sixth Layer of Body Refining Stage, and his strength had once again transformed.

'I won't be afraid of Eighth Layer of Body Refining Stage warriors anymore!'

Ye Feng exclaimed to himself with a clenched knuckle and satisfied smile. It wasn't the advancement of his cultivation base he was happy about, but because he was now able to control the bead.

Through the fusion of the Divine Sense and the spiritual crystal, Ye Feng mastered the complete control of the bead.

Now that he could easily control the pearl with the help of Divine Sense, he could also control the time for the beads to absorb his energies as well as the energy's amount and types.

The only thing left to do now was to increase his strength.

After all the things that happened in the last month, Ye Feng deeply realized the cruelty of this world, and only the strongest strength could change the peace and fairness.

For Ye Feng, who was carrying the heavy responsibility of reviving his family, his Sixth Layer of Body Refining Stage cultivation base was far from enough. From now on, he still had a long way to go.

The door of the courtyard suddenly opened. Ye Feng looked over and saw more than a dozen figures had entered.

Most of them were middle-aged men. The aura on their bodies was ethereal, and their clothes looked nice. One could tell that they were extraordinary figures in the Martial Mansion.

Ye Feng knew a few of them.

Yue Gu, Chen Xiangtian, and the Elder who was in charge of the Tianyun Hall and Tianxiao Hall's examination were among them.

They had a high position in the Tianxuan Mansion. If they were together today, they must have had something to talk to him about.

However, they were all walking behind a dignified old man. It was obvious that this old man was very noble.

Ye Feng also noticed the people gathered outside the courtyard. They were all disciples of the Martial Mansion. With so many elders visiting this inconspicuous courtyard, it would naturally attract the attention of countless people. They all wanted to see what was going to happen.

In just a short period of time, the people gathered had already surrounded the small courtyard so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out.

The crowd quickly arrived in front of him. The dignified old man leading them looked at Ye Feng.

His gaze was calm, but it seemed to penetrate through him. In front of the old man, Ye Feng felt open as if he was an open book.

'This is definitely an expert who is more terrifying than Yue Gu, Chen Xiangtian and the others,' Ye Feng thought to himslef.

The strange feeling he felt in his heart told him that this old man was unfathomable.

"Are you Ye Feng?"

The old man stared at Ye Feng for a moment and asked. Although his voice was old, it was full of energy.

"Yes. Senior, do you have anything to say to me?"

Ye Feng replied plainly with a nod. His words were neither servile nor overbearing, but it was casual, and he did not show much respect.

"How dare you!"

A cold voice from behind the old man suddenly exclaimed. Chen Xiangtian stepped out and glanced at Ye Feng with cold eyes. "Why aren't you greeting Hall Master Tianji? Don't you know the difference with your status? What qualifications do you have to enter the Tianxuan Mansion? You should leave as soon as possible!"

Chen Xiangtian's voice was cold. He could clearly remember the humiliation Ye Feng had given the Chen family yesterday and wished to kill Ye Feng on the spot. "If anyone dares to touch him, I will kill them." Mu Tianqi's warning seemed to echo in his mind. If not for Mu Tianqi, he would have attacked Ye Feng a long time ago.

When Ye Feng saw Chen Xiangtian, he frowned slightly and asked, "How would I know his identity? This is the first time I met Senior Hall Master." Ye Feng's eyes suddenly flickered, then he added, "Or did you intentionally say that to make things difficult for me?"
