138 Start of a Legend (2/2)
Why did Lord Guanjun place so much importance in talent? It was because he had experienced the difference in every sky of the Ascended Realm! If one’s talent wasn’t strong enough even if they did reach the Ascended Realm, they wouldn’t be able to break through anymore and reach the True Spirit Realm. After entering the Clan, Zhao Feng understood what Lord Guanjun originally thought and why he had placed so much hope and expectation on Bei Moi.
Compared with the others, Zhao Feng was only a half - Spiritual Body and he was already extremely lucky to be able to become one of Lord Guanjun’s disciples.
“Life…. Luck… ”
Zhao Feng started to believe in luck. If it wasn’t through Lord Guanjun, he might not even know about the Clans.
He would then face greater challenges and without any accidents, Zhao Feng should be able to become an inner disciple tomorrow.
Inner disciples, that was where the true geniuses fought.
Bei Moi, Quan Chen, Sun Yuanhao, Liu Yue’er, Ran Xiaoyuan…. As well as other geniuses were all inner disciples.
Xiao Sun and Yun Mengxiang had both become inner disciples a few days ago as well and Zhao Feng becoming one could be almost certain. But he still wanted to enter something else - the Floating Crest Trial.
He didn’t know much about the Floating Crest Trial, but he knew that that was a place where one’s life could be changed and he had the deal with old man Zhang and old man Guan.
The Floating Crest Trial was once every 5 years and if Zhao Feng didn’t participate, it would mean that his luck in the path of cultivation wasn’t strong enough and he should rather work on pills and arrays instead.
………
At night.
Zhao Feng was still cultivating.
It was a slow process for the two True Forces to merge and Zhao Feng estimated that he needed one month to merge the two together, which would make him reach the peak 1st Sky of the Ascended Realm.
Normal inner disciples need 1-2 years to reach it, but if there was help from pill masters, the time could be condensed greatly. While the two forces were merging, Zhao Feng started to organise his skills:
Silver Wall Technique: 10th level - reaching the Ascended Realm with his his body.
WIth just his body alone, he could fight cultivators at the 1st Sky.
Lightning Wind Palm: 3rd level - the same as low level.
According to what Zhao Feng knew, there was only a low number of people who had trained Middle class Mortal skills to the low level.
Four Wind Stances: The first 3 had been fully comprehended and the last had been understood 70-80%. But even then the damage from the 4th stance exceeded the first 3.
The power of it alone even surpassed Star Finger merging with Tornado Stance.
Illusion Fish Picture: Comprehended up to the 5th change.
Even though the Illusion Fish Picture didn’t have any offensive power, it helped movements skills and arrays greatly.
For example, when Zhao Feng merged the enlightenment gained from the Illusion Fish Picture, his attacks and movement had illusions which tricked the opponent.
The Illusion Fish Picture focused on the word Illusion and Zhao Feng had just started to comprehend it.
Up to now, Zhao Feng was only comprehending these moves and the other skills had all reached the peak level. But they were too weak to be used.
This meant that Zhao Feng actually only had two skills that he cultivated: Silver Wall Technique and Lightning Wind Palm.
The Silver Wall Technique had reached the 10th level out of the 11 levels and it wouldn’t be of much use when he reached the 2nd Sky.
This was the limit of normal Low class Mortal skills
It was Lightning Wind Palm that could be trained up to the 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm.
…..
Zhao Feng got up early the second morning and went to the Clan Mission Division.
“Brother Zhao, your eyepatch is done.”
The apprentice handed over a metal eyepatch the size of a palm. The eyepatch was delicate and the surface was silver. It felt cold and smooth when touched.
“This eyepatch is special, it can block attacks from cultivators a the 1st Sky of the Ascended Realm.”
The apprentice explained as Zhao Feng put on the eyepatch. A cold feeling appeared and Zhao Feng’s left eye was fully covered.
“Good!” Zhao Feng nodded his head in satisfaction.
Amidst the wind, his azure hair wavered and with his silver eyepatch, he seemed 30% wicked and 70% casual.
The apprentice next to him couldn’t help but pause. He felt that Zhao Feng had a indescribable change in aura.
