Everlasting Chapter 131: Second Sea Of Wisdom Layer (1/2)

Back when Chen Feng was a.s.sailing level 1 of the Concealed stage, he had to utilize everything he had; his blood energy, primary energy, all of them surged with intensity to a.s.sail that level. He had also utilized the Imperial Blood Gra.s.s, enduring a great deal of pain in the process. After a.s.sailing it many times, he was finally successful in clearing off the layer of fog enveloping his sea of wisdom to rise to the Concealed stage.

The barrier for his 2nd sea of wisdom layer was much thicker compared to the layer of fog for level 1. Rather, it was nearly a hundred times thicker. Even so, Chen Feng's present level of strength was not something his past self could compare against. That was especially true when considering the fact that he had already condensed out his Soulflame. a.s.sailing the barrier to level 2 of the Concealed stage was not an issue for him.

As Chen Feng was focused on cultivation, the Five Heroes of Pot Mountain exchanged glances before moving to surround Chen Feng in order to protect him.

Although the eyes of Elegant Gentleman and the short, middle-aged cultivator kept glinting with light, they did not attack.

A clump of flames, Chen Feng's Soulflame, pulsed constantly within his sea of wisdom. At that moment, Chen Feng's divine sense had gathered together into his Soulflame, leaving only 10 % of the Soulflame to respond to whatever might happen. Even though there were Ye Ziming and Lu Ta to protect him, Demon Soul Valley was an eerie place. Additionally, some cultivators were eyeing him like a prey. That was also the other reason why Chen Feng was determined to break through now. Only by breaking through could his strength multiply. That way, they would be safer later on.

In the past, he would have preferred to find a remote spot where he can enter the Longevity Tower and cultivate himself there. That was the safest approach. However, that was clearly not possible. Doing so in front of so many cultivators might expose the existence of the Longevity Tower and bring about endless troubles.

After absorbing all that spiritual energy, his Soulflame grew increasingly large while condensing and wriggling to finally a.s.sume a humanoid form. Legs, feet, hands, arms and head. All of them were formed. In the end, even a face emerged. However, the facial features of the face were absent and all was a blur there. It seems my cultivation base is still lacking. Still, according to the Longevity Scripture, forming a body is only possible for the divine sense after reaching level 3 of the Concealed stage. I am already ahead. Chen Feng felt somewhat delighted.

“Ha!”

The condensed humanoid form could be considered another special form for Chen Feng. He raised the humanoid form's fist up high and gathered all the power of his divine sense upon the fist before smas.h.i.+ng heavily upon the barrier below.

Kacha!

A cracking sound rang out. It was like the sound of the frozen surface of a river cracking. Next, strands of mysterious aura seeped out from the cracks.

Bang!

Chen Feng did not stop. He immediately followed up with another punch and a circular hole suddenly appeared upon the barrier below him. It was as dark as ink and as vast as the ocean. That was his 2nd sea of wisdom layer.

Woah!

His Soulflame body continued thras.h.i.+ng the barrier. Finally, he raised his head and laughed aloud. Powerful soul ripples spread out and the barrier standing in between his 1st and 2nd sea of wisdom layers was utterly shattered. Next, a vast amount of mysterious aura charged upwards. Chen Feng's Soulflame form, on the other hand, charged straight down, paving a broad route through his newly-opened 2nd sea of wisdom layer.

Chen Feng did not let up. With a momentum that only knew how to advance, his Soulflame form charged all the way down until reaching the barrier for his 3rd sea of wisdom layer. Once again, he smashed the barrier with a punch.

Kacha! Kacha!

Fine cracks appeared upon the barrier. This time, however, no aura seeped out. As Chen Feng was gathering all his strength to break this barrier to break through to level 3 of the Concealed stage, light suddenly flashed within his mind and he stopped.

Given my current level of strength, breaking through to level 3 of the Concealed stage is very likely. However, cultivators should avoid the anxious desire for quick success. I should properly lay out the foundation for level 2 first. After reaching that line of thought, Chen Feng stopped punching the barrier for his 3rd sea of wisdom layer. He then began practicing a meditation technique to fully open up his 2nd sea of wisdom layer.

The Heavenly Origin acupoint and the two Magnetic acupoints churned and energy streams surged out continuously to smash into his 2nd sea of wisdom layer. They mixed and fused with the mysterious energy within the sea of wisdom to form a benign cycle. Every circulation would increase the size of the newly opened sea of wisdom by a notch and the power within Chen Feng's body was also constantly growing stronger.

Feeling the constant growth of power in his body, Chen Feng let out an involuntary sigh. “The human body is truly wondrous. The sea of wisdom actually contains such a powerful and mysterious force.”

It was then that a grunt rang out within Chen Feng's mind. “Humph! Do you think that mysterious energy came about intrinsically?”

“Tower, you are up?” Chen Feng was pleasantly surprised. That voice earlier belonged to none other than Tower.

“Just for a bit. I will need to sleep again later. Also, what is this place? Why is there demonic energy?” Tower asked in a puzzled tone.

“You haven't clarified what you said earlier. Could it be the mysterious energy within the sea of wisdom is not intrinsic in nature?” asked Chen Feng.

“Heh. The human body is truly wondrous and filled with mysteries and there are quite a few Heaven-defying const.i.tutions. However, most seas of wisdom contain nothing. They are all dry and desolate. Everything after the opening of the sea would depend on extrinsic efforts. You, on the other hand, could access a vast amount of energy right after entering your sea of wisdom. That aspect alone puts you far ahead compared to the majority of cultivators. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the moment you stepped into the Concealed stage, you have taken an extra 100 steps compared to others,” said Tower with a snicker.

“This wondrous energy does not exist in the seas of wisdom of others? What is this all about?” Chen Feng was vaguely able to discern something.

“Did you forget about the Longevity Scripture in your sea of wisdom? This is a type of legacy. Even before you were born, a powerful force had been injected into your sea of wisdom. Tsk tsk. Kid, you will slowly come to understand it. Humans have nine layers of sea of wisdom in total. At present, you have only opened up two layers and seen great power flow out from them. That power will change your body and enhance your soul. Can you not feel yourself constantly growing stronger?” said Tower with an amused tone.

“Yes. I feel much stronger compared to the cultivators on the same level as me. I can probably beat 10 of them,” said Chen Feng after feeling the power coursing through his body.

“One against ten? Ha ha ha ha ha!” Tower suddenly laughed out.

“No, no, no. Too weak, too weak! I can recall, back then, your old man could singlehandedly kill off 100 fellows who are on the same level as him,” said Tower.

“What? My old man? Who is he? Hurry up and tell me!” Chen Feng was first taken aback. Next, his Soulflame form roared out. Outside, his face contorted and the sword light radiating off his body flickered shakily.

“What is wrong with Brother Chen? Did something happen?” Big Pot Bro could not stop himself from blurting out.
