Chapter 83: Core Shattering Realm Ninth Stage, Divine Soul Three Arts!

Hundred Sword Mountain, Little Profound Peak.

On the day he returned to the mountain, after farming loot from Wei Qingyan and Luo Li, Li Xuanfeng began his seclusion.

His seclusion was primarily to refine the Six-Turn Golden Bone Pill and the Soul Refining Pill.

The power of the Six-Turn Golden Bone Pill was extremely compatible with the Blazing Sun Golden Bone and the Chaos Sword Physique; once refined, Li Xuanfeng had a high probability of condensing the Chaos Golden Bone.

The medicinal efficacy of this pill was immense, containing the power of six turns. Each turn was more powerful and harder to refine than the last. Even with the extremely high absorption efficiency of Li Xuanfeng's Chaos Sword Physique, it was impossible to refine it completely in one go; it required a gradual, step-by-step approach.

It took a full day for Li Xuanfeng to successfully refine the power of the first turn.

His physical body received an astonishing reinforcement, with the most obvious enhancement being his entire skeletal structure, and his cultivation also successfully advanced to the fifth stage of the Core Shattering Realm.

Time passed, and the refining continued.

[Ding! Wei Qingyan has experienced thirty-six battles and gained a large amount of combat experience. Tenfold return: you have gained three hundred and sixty battles' worth of combat experience!]

[Ding! Wei Qingyan has received rewards from the Trial Tower, her cultivation has surged, and she has broken through to the second stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. Tenfold return: your cultivation has improved slightly, moving you one step closer to the Middle Stage of the Core Shattering Realm fifth stage!]

[Ding! Wei Qingyan has used a Martial Skill…]

While Li Xuanfeng was in seclusion, System notification sounds frequently rang in his mind.

Wei Qingyan had not been idle these past few days; instead, she had been challenging the Trial Tower of Hundred Sword Mountain.

The so-called Trial Tower was a special Spiritual Artifact. Unlike Li Xuanfeng's Mountain Suppressing Tower, the Trial Tower was a place specifically for Hundred Sword Mountain Disciples to train, featuring ninety-nine floors.

Inside the tower was a self-contained space, and each floor contained enemies formed from condensed spiritual energy, such as Cultivators, Puppets, and Yao Beasts.

As long as one defeated these enemies, one could obtain cultivation rewards and raise one's Realm.

In order to solidify her Foundation, hone her combat abilities, and break through her Realm as quickly as possible, Wei Qingyan chose to challenge the Trial Tower.

Although challenging the Trial Tower allowed for rapid improvement, the risks were high. One careless mistake could lead to severe injury, and it was a great test of a Disciple's reaction and willpower.

Wei Qingyan did not care about this; even at the risk of severe injury, she was determined to challenge the extreme difficulty.

Thus, her daily routine consisted of fighting, obtaining rewards to raise her cultivation, resting briefly, then continuing to fight and obtaining more rewards to raise her cultivation… such was the cycle.

With the Supreme Sword Physique, her hard work and diligence yielded astonishing returns.

For Li Xuanfeng, who had the System and was bound to Wei Qingyan, the returns were even more astonishing, even while he was just lying down.

[Ding! Luo Li has completed Alchemy, gaining new Alchemy experience and insights. Tenfold return: you have gained a portion of Alchemy experience and insights!]

[Ding! Xu Miaozhen has broken through part of the Legacy Seal, received a reinforcing baptism, and increased her cultivation, breaking through to the second stage of the Core Condensation Realm. Tenfold return: you have broken through to the Middle Stage of the Core Shattering Realm fifth stage and are approaching the Late Stage!]

Besides Wei Qingyan, Luo Li and Xu Miaozhen were also providing returns to Li Xuanfeng.

With the support of multiple people, Li Xuanfeng's gains were continuous.

The harder they worked, the more beneficial it was for Li Xuanfeng.

Two days later, Li Xuanfeng refined the power of the second turn of the Six-Turn Golden Bone Pill, and coupled with the returns from the three women, he finally broke through to the sixth stage of the Core Shattering Realm!

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Wei Qingyan challenged the tower desperately every day.

Xu Miaozhen was also working so diligently that it surprised Li Xuanfeng, and the System sounded notification tones regarding the returns she brought every day.

Although the cultivation returns brought by the two were not much for the current Li Xuanfeng, they were not a small amount when accumulated over time.

Coupled with the fact that Li Xuanfeng himself had refined the power of the fifth turn, his Realm reached the ninth stage of the Core Shattering Realm directly!

"Hoo~"

Li Xuanfeng, who was in seclusion, exhaled a breath that was like a sharp arrow, causing the Void Realm to tremble.

The saying that one could kill a person with a single breath was not an exaggeration for Li Xuanfeng now; it was something he could truly do.

"This Medicinal Pill is truly difficult to refine!"

Li Xuanfeng sighed with emotion.

If not for the extremely high refining efficiency of the Chaos Sword Physique, it would have been impossible to refine the power of five turns from the Six-Turn Golden Bone Pill without several years of time!

If it were those with ordinary bodies, it might even take decades or even centuries!

This shows just how immense the efficacy of this pill was.

That Li Xuanfeng could refine the power of five turns within half a month was entirely due to the Chaos Sword Physique being too formidable.

"But this is enough. The efficacy of this final turn needs to dissolve on its own, gradually completing the final nourishment. By then, I will be able to condense the true Chaos Golden Bone!"

Li Xuanfeng said silently.

The final turn was a fully automatic, slow-nourishing process; the Six-Turn Golden Bone Pill would slowly release its power, gradually completing the final transformation, requiring no worry from Li Xuanfeng.

Next, he had to refine the Soul Refining Pill.

The main effect of this pill was to condense and strengthen the power of the Soul. An ordinary Soul could not withstand its efficacy; only a Cultivator at the Divine Transformation Realm could attempt to refine it.

Li Xuanfeng's Soul had already reached the Divine Transformation Realm level, so there was no problem in refining it.

Swallowing the Soul Refining Pill and circulating his power to refine it, wisps of pure energy were released from the pill and flowed into his Sea of Consciousness.

The Sea of Consciousness was located in the brain and was a special space, as well as the dwelling place of the Soul.

Li Xuanfeng's Sea of Consciousness space was very clean; beneath his feet was an endless, clear blue sea, and the sky was as blue as if washed.

The sea surface reflected the sky, and the sky set off the sea.

It was like a dreamlike Mirror of the Sky.

A figure that looked exactly like Li Xuanfeng floated between the sea and the sky, its body looking illusory and transparent; this was Li Xuanfeng's Soul body.

The Soul Refining Pill, having undergone countless purifications and refinements, contained power that was quite beneficial to the Soul. Li Xuanfeng's Soul sat cross-legged between the sea and the sky, silently absorbing this pure power, condensing it bit by bit, and strengthening it bit by bit.

Unknowingly, another half month passed.

The Medicinal Pill was refined, and Li Xuanfeng's Soul underwent a transformation, its strength increasing twofold!

The Sea of Consciousness space seemed to have become clearer and more spacious.

"It would be best to learn a Secret Art related to the Soul!"

Li Xuanfeng, who was in meditation, opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

Once a Cultivator reached the Divine Transformation Realm, their Soul would be greatly enhanced, their Divine Sense would transform, and they could already Cultivate Secret Arts related to the Soul.

For example, Soul Searching, Divine Sense attacks, Divine Sense interference, Soul illusions, and so on!

However, Secret Arts related to the Soul were extremely rare, extremely hard to find, and extremely difficult to Cultivate. Even for Cultivators at the Divine Transformation Realm, not everyone could Cultivate such Secret Arts.

As a top power in the Great Yan Dynasty, Hundred Sword Mountain should have them; he just needed to ask Luo Li.

He sent a message to Luo Li and learned that she was tending to medicinal herbs in her herb garden. After asking about Secret Arts related to the Soul, Luo Li told him that there was indeed one.

Putting away the communication stone, Li Xuanfeng flew to Spirit Medicine Peak.

"Master did indeed pass down a Secret Art related to the Soul, called 'Divine Soul Three Arts'."

"However, one needs their Soul to reach the Divine Transformation Realm level to Cultivate it. Junior Brother, has your Soul strength already reached that level?"

In the fragrant herb garden, Luo Li looked at Li Xuanfeng, who had just landed.

Li Xuanfeng nodded.

"Then I will pass it to you now."

Luo Li was not surprised; she would only be surprised if Li Xuanfeng's Soul strength had not reached the Divine Transformation Realm level.

She extended her fair, jade-like index finger and gently tapped it on Li Xuanfeng's forehead.

The cultivation method of the 'Divine Soul Three Arts' entered Li Xuanfeng's mind, and after sensing it slightly, he clearly knew how to Cultivate it.

With his current Comprehension Ability, he did not need to wait for the experience and insights returned after Luo Li cultivated it.

"Junior Brother, over this past month, your deeds have completely spread throughout the Great Yan Dynasty, and the Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters in the inner and outer sects admire you immensely!"

While Li Xuanfeng was still digesting the contents of the 'Divine Soul Three Arts', Luo Li couldn't help but chuckle.

"Do the Withered Profound Sect and the Blood Fiend Sect have any reaction?"

Li Xuanfeng asked.

He had not paid attention to news from the outside world this past month.

In his expectations, the Blood Fiend Sect might take some action, but the color of the fate on his body had remained in Chaos, so he had not paid it any mind.

He had also wondered whether the Withered Profound Sect or the Blood Fiend Sect would shift their anger onto Xu Miaozhen.

When they parted ways in the Purple Moon Mountain Range that day, he had observed the color of Xu Miaozhen's fate, which had consistently maintained a golden glow, so Li Xuanfeng had not worried.

During his seclusion, he had also continuously received returns from Xu Miaozhen, which meant that she was still safe up to this point.

Either the people from the Withered Profound Sect and the Blood Fiend Sect had not gone to find her, or they had not found her.

"On the surface, neither the Withered Profound Sect nor the Blood Fiend Sect has made any major moves, but it is impossible to determine if they are plotting anything in secret."

"Over this past month, conflicts between Disciples have become increasingly intense; as long as they meet outside, it is almost always a fight to the death, and dozens of casualty incidents have already occurred."

The smile on Luo Li's face disappeared, and she said, frowning slightly.

Hundred Sword Mountain and the Blood Fiend Sect had always been at odds like fire and water, and conflicts inevitably erupted whenever Disciples from both sides met, but the conflicts had clearly intensified over this past month.

"What about the Withered Profound Sect? Their people have probably made quite a few moves as well, right?"

Li Xuanfeng asked.

"There is nothing to say now; whether it is the Blood Fiend Sect or the Withered Profound Sect, when they encounter our Hundred Sword Mountain Disciples, it is a fight to the death."

"They have even launched a plan specifically to hunt down Hundred Sword Mountain Disciples who are outside. Of course, we also have countermeasures, and both sides have suffered casualties."

Luo Li said.

"I understand!"

Li Xuanfeng nodded.

Having been in seclusion for so long, his strength had soared by a large margin, and it was time to put the previously mentioned eradication of the Withered Profound Sect into action.
