Chapter 53 An unexpected surprise
The reason why this mountain is called Half Mountain is because it has no peak.
It was as if it was cut in half by a huge knife, leaving only the lower half.
From a distance, the mountain looks like a huge stone pillar, standing silently between the gray sky and earth of Xiyi Realm.
The top of the mountain is very flat, but the mountain is extremely steep and rugged.
This terrain makes the top of the mountain an ideal defensive stronghold, and only requires a few demons to take turns to stand guard in each direction.
It can effectively monitor the surrounding situation, while other monsters can sleep and rest peacefully on the top of the mountain.
Xu Zhenfeng and Hu Yuan walked around the foot of the mountain. This was indeed a good place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
All the monsters went up the mountain, and several wolf monsters were assigned the task of taking turns on guard duty.
The other monsters began to rest and sleep.
Xu Zhenfeng lay on the ground for a while, but he couldn't fall asleep for some reason.
Looking around, he saw the Fifth Master and several tiger monsters patrolling the edge.
He walked over to the fifth elder and took back the soul crystal.
When Hu Ji handed the soul crystal to him, he found something wrong, so he quickly gave the soul crystal to the fifth elder.
Now that he had retrieved the Soul Crystal, he found a place with few monsters and sat cross-legged on the ground. He held the Soul Crystal in one hand and slowly felt the extraordinary feeling.
The demonic power in his inner elixir suddenly surged out when he touched the soul crystal, and quickly flowed towards his palm that was holding the soul crystal.
There seemed to be a power in this soul crystal, which was ready to drill into his palm.
This is not demonic power. It is something that condensed after Xiyi dissipated. Even if there is any power, it should be something that only ghosts can absorb, right?
Xu Zhenfeng was confused and puzzled. Could it be that because he was a demon but had a human soul, he could absorb the power in the soul crystal?
After all, Xiyi is the spirit of a person who has died several times. How can he be considered a kind of ghost, right?
He felt the power in the soul crystal, and at the same time, his own demonic power also rushed into his palms.
He could feel the demonic power's abnormal desire for the power in the soul crystal.
What is strange is why this power in the soul crystal seems to want to break out of the soul crystal and merge with the demonic power in his own hand?
This. . . . . .
Could it be the legendary two-way rush?
Can I absorb the power in this soul crystal?
If it is absorbed, will the pill explode like the first time he used his demonic power?
Xu Zhenfeng was lost in thought for a moment, when he suddenly heard a sudden voice from behind him.
"Zhenfeng, why are you here instead of going to sleep and rest?"
Xu Zhenfeng was so surprised that he squeezed the soul crystal in his hand hard.
The power in the soul crystal rushed into his palm in an instant and merged with the demonic power that was already hovering inside.
After the two forces merged, they immediately turned around and rushed into Xu Zhenfeng's limbs and bones.
Xu Zhenfeng knew something was wrong and had no time to answer the questions behind him.
He immediately sat up straight, tried hard to adjust the demonic power that was integrated with the power of the soul crystal, and began to circulate it in his body.
The strange thing was that the power of this fusion did not wash away the flesh and blood like the previous fusion of the demonic powers of several masters, nor did it cause the pain of having the flesh and blood all over the body crushed inch by inch.
Xu Zhenfeng was astonished. He felt that the demonic power that had been fused with the power of the soul crystal, when it circulated for the first time, was like pure demonic power that had been smelted by him several times.
The fifth elder walked up to him and was stunned when he saw that he suddenly started practicing.
Just now when I was behind him, I clearly saw that he seemed to be in deep thought. How come he started practicing as soon as I opened my mouth?
Don’t you want to talk to yourself?
Does he dislike his master so much?
However, seeing Xu Zhenfeng closing his eyes and practicing seriously, he did not say anything else. He just sat on the other side and watched him practice silently.
After completing one cycle of circulation, Xu Zhenfeng let out a long sigh.
Fortunately, the pill did not explode, and it was not as painful as the first time I condensed the demonic power given by the masters.
He knew that the Fifth Master was standing nearby, and he did not open his eyes.
Since the practice of absorbing new power went so smoothly this time, I might as well continue practicing.
Condense and purify this new power, let it completely merge with your own demonic power, and truly become your own power.
Otherwise, he would not feel at ease.
The second cycle of operation begins, followed by the third, the fourth, the fifth...
During the sixth circulation, something strange happened.
Xu Zhenfeng felt that the demonic power in his inner elixir was beginning to overflow.
The five masters told him countless times what it would be like and how it would feel when he was about to break through.
Isn't the feeling of the inner elixir overflowing a sign that the realm is about to break through?
You know, before this, the five masters took turns to transfer demonic power to him, and he didn't know how much they transferred, but he never had the feeling that he was about to break through the realm.
How come I am about to break through today just by absorbing the power from this tiny soul crystal?
Xu Zhenfeng didn't dare to continue practicing. He opened his eyes, turned his head and saw that Fifth Master was also looking at him.
Seeing the look of doubt in Xu Zhenfeng's eyes, the fifth elder quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is your cultivation not going well?"
Xu Zhenfeng didn't know what to say. He looked down at his palm and found that the soul crystal as big as his little finger had disappeared without a trace.
Should I tell Master Wu that I can absorb the power from the soul crystal?
There shouldn't have been freaks like me among the demon tribe before, right?
If I tell Master Wu, will it arouse his suspicion?
so tangled.
Xu Zhenfeng's eyes were complicated, and after a long while he said, "Fifth Master, I think I'm about to break through."
"what?"
The fifth elder was startled and immediately walked to Xu Zhenfeng and grabbed his wrist.
As expected, some of his demonic power was intercepted by Xu Zhenfeng's demonic power.
At the same time, he also found out that Xu Zhenfeng's inner elixir was constantly stirring and was indeed about to break through to a small realm.
"Can you break through in one go? Are you still short of demonic power? I'll send you some more right away."
"Not for now. I'll continue practicing and try to see if I can break through now."
Xu Zhenfeng shook his head and continued to practice.
The fifth elder sat nervously less than five feet away from him, his eyes fixed on Xu Zhenfeng.
After a while, Xu Zhenfeng opened his eyes and said to him helplessly: "Fifth Master, can you please stop watching me practice like this?"
Even with his eyes closed, he could feel the scorching gaze of Fifth Master, which made it impossible for him to concentrate on his practice.
"Okay, okay, I'll go over there, you continue to practice, don't worry about me."
The fifth elder immediately stood up and walked away for some distance.
This time he did not look at Xu Zhenfeng. His eyes only scanned the movements below the mountain.
This time, Xu Zhenfeng continued to circulate the Qi in his body, and the feeling of fullness in his inner elixir became even stronger.
He could clearly feel that his inner elixir was constantly beating, just like a heart. Between the expansion and contraction, the inner elixir began to swell faintly.
After three consecutive circulations, the frequency of the inner elixir's agitation became higher and higher.
Finally, when he completed the circulation of energy again and took all the demonic power back into his inner elixir.
He seemed to hear a slight clicking sound, and his inner elixir suddenly bulged outward, and then never went back in.
All the demonic power lingered quietly in the inner elixir, and the feeling of fullness and swelling disappeared.
The feeling in Xu Zhenfeng's body at this time was like a good sleep after a workout. When he got up, his body was full of endless energy.
That feeling of overwhelming power...
Tut tut
The feeling of reaching a new realm is truly wonderful.
Xu Zhenfeng was finally promoted from the first grade of yellow rank to the second grade of yellow rank.
