Everlasting Chapter 99: Liquid Spiritual Energy (1/2)
Chen Feng, Lu Ta and Ye Ziming were not the only ones cultivating themselves. Even the Four-eared Spirit Monkey was absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy without respite. At that moment, every single fur on Four Ears' body was erect, s.h.i.+ning with golden light. Every one of his fur was ceaselessly absorbing in the surrounding spiritual energy.
Chen Feng, who was swiftly circulating the Longevity Scripture's technique, felt as though his body had become a large maelstrom. The surrounding spiritual energy was absorbed into his body, refined and absorbed again. Wisps of power began filling every cell in his body and Chen Feng could feel the wounds on his body being restored. Even the energy consumed in the earlier battle was being slowly replenished.
”Roar!”
As the spiritual energy within the Longevity Tower increased, the Purplebolt Silverlight Wyrm, which was suppressed by the stone stele, began roaring. It opened its mouth and a vast amount of spiritual energy, like the rivers flowing into the sea, was sucked into its mouth. As expected of a Great Yao, the Purplebolt Silverlight Wyrm was capable of absorbing more spiritual energy than Chen Feng, Lu Ta, Ye Ziming and Four Ears combined.
”Amazing! It is so powerful! It has absorbed so much spiritual energy, will it break free?” By then, Ye Ziming and Lu Ta had noticed the suppressed Great Yao. They exclaimed in response.
”It won't,” said Chen Feng confidently. Having refined and absorbed a vast amount of spiritual energy, plus the Heaven-defying regenerative power of the Longevity Scripture, Chen Feng's body was once again filled with might. His divine sense was the only thing that had yet to fully recover. However, he was already strong enough to control some of the spell arrays within the Longevity Tower.
”Reveal!” Chen Feng extended a finger and quickly drew a circle with it. Next, a ray of light shone out from a certain point within the Longevity Tower to strike the circle. After that, images appeared upon the circle. The images were none other than what was happening outside the Longevity Tower.
”Spatial technique! This is a spatial law that only Sky Human stage cultivators can comprehend!” Ye Ziming uttered in shock.
”No. I am just borrowing the Longevity Tower's power to utilize a type of secret technique,” said Chen Feng with a smile. Next, he began observing the situation outside through the circle.
Through the Longevity Tower's power, the three of them could clearly make out everything transpiring outside. It seemed as though the apocalypse had arrived. Epic amounts of Magic crystals kept cracking apart as the energy contained within them was being absorbed away until only residual powder was left of them.
In the beginning, the Longevity Tower was only capable of absorbing the Magic crystals within a radius of tens of metres. However, as it continued descending, the spiritual energy it absorbed gradually grew and the power it emanated became increasingly powerful. The damaged Longevity Tower was constantly repairing itself, fixing the damages inflicted upon both its interior and exterior.
After having only descended 100 metres down, the absorption radius of tens of metres had expanded to reach a radius of over a hundred metres. Additionally, it was continuing to grow in size. Chen Feng focused and established a link with the Longevity Tower. That way, he could not only see what was occurring around the Longevity Tower, he could even see what was beneath them. He could clearly see the deepest corners of the Magic crystal mine.
A high number of Magic crystals were continuously disintegrating as the Longevity Tower seemingly transformed into a bell-mouth spillway. Their surroundings were pitch black, looking like vacuum while an immense quant.i.ty of spiritual energy, so condensed it took tangible form, was perpetually being sucked into the Longevity Tower. Not a single strand could escape it.
Weng! Weng! Weng!
The Longevity Tower shook with an even greater intensity and an ancient aura of one who had experienced the vicissitudes of life spread out. Chen Feng felt as though there were feelings of excitement and something else he could not ident.i.ty, feelings that were suppressed for 10 million years pulsing within him.
Sensing the aura released by the Longevity Tower, Chen Feng felt calmness in his heart. Inexplicably, some other feelings suddenly rose from within the depths of his soul. It was as though a most hidden string had been plucked and a feeling of déjà vu spread out through his body.
Peng!
The string within the depths of his soul quivered with intensity and Chen Feng suddenly grew agitated. An inexplicable feeling was causing Chen Feng's body to tremble.
”Eh? Brother Chen! What happened?” Ye Ziming was the first to discover something amiss with Chen Feng.
”This aura feels very familiar to me. However, as far back as I can remember, I have never felt this aura before. It feels like this feeling has been hiding within the very depths of my soul, like I have been sleeping for the longest time. What is going on here? Why are these feelings emerging from within me? Could it be? Is this tower truly related to my past? Could I be the legendary reincarnation of an Immortal Human? That is simply outrageous. There shouldn't be any Immortal Human as idiotic as me in this world, right?” With all those thoughts flas.h.i.+ng through his mind, Chen Feng involuntarily shouted aloud, causing energy waves to roil about uncontrollably within the Longevity Tower. It was so shocking that Ye Ziming and Lu Ta had to quickly retreat.
The feeling that the aura gave him was that of exceptional familiarity, one that had seemingly permeated deep into his bones and cells. However, Chen Feng could not remember anything at all. His memories of the aura were completely blank. And yet, it was such an extreme feeling of familiarity that Chen Feng felt himself suffocating as a result.
”Argh!”
Chen Feng kept howling. He wanted to vent the suffocating feelings within his heart. Even more so, he wanted to break the non-existent shackle on his heart to discover the memories he wanted, to discover everything.
”What is going on here? Tower, answer me!” Chen Feng shouted loudly. Waving both his hands, the various seals within the Longevity Tower's first level began moving. Energy currents churned about ceaselessly as they took tangible form to smash into the thick wall of the Longevity Tower.
Weng! Weng! Weng!
Burst after burst of dull thumping sounds rang out. It was like the sounds of a drum from the primordial era, like the sounds of collision from the deepest parts of the universe. When the first sound wave spread out, Chen Feng knew it was not a sound that belonged to the human world.
”Kid! Don't go crazy! I am currently absorbing the energy of the surrounding Magic crystals. Wait until your strength has risen and you will know everything. I a.s.sure you; you will get to know everything.
