635 Breaking Through to the Late Stage Small Origin Core Realm (1/2)

Zhao Feng didn’t use the Dark Heart Seal on the skeletal Division Leader.

The Dark Heart Seal had its advantages and disadvantages.

The main advantage was that the target would fully obey the user, but they would become something similar to robots. Their minds and way of thinking were limited, and they would have limited potential.

Therefore, Zhao Feng didn’t use the Dark Heart Seal on the skeletal Division Leader. The latter’s cunning was better than a mere doll that knew how to take orders.

Furthermore, the skeletal Division Leader wasn’t much of a threat to Zhao Feng anymore at this point anyway.

Besides, the Dark Heart Seed already in its heart could still decide its life or death in just one thought.

After comprehending more than a dozen new skills, Zhao Feng’s seclusion still wasn’t over.

“There’s still two more months left. I need to strengthen and consolidate my cultivation.”

Zhao Feng closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.

He decided to not touch the Death Dark Eye for a while. He focused on the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, and he also tried to comprehend the scarlet-colored Wind Lightning.

At the same time, he would enter the Ancient Dream Realm every couple days.

He could stay there for a long time now, and the amount of Ancient Dream Realm aura he was absorbing was enormous, which was all being infused into his bloodline, soul, and body.

The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique could also be strengthened by the Ancient Dream Realm aura, and Zhao Feng’s soul was increasing by leaps and bounds

Half a month later, Zhao Feng’s Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique had reached the level where he could split his mind into twenty thoughts. His Spiritual Sense and his soul were becoming stronger by the day.

Unknowingly, Zhao Feng’s soul had reached the peak Great Origin Core Realm, only below the half-step Void God Realm.

His improvement could be described as “travelling a thousand miles in one day.”

The God’s Spiritual Eye was a treasure box hidden in Zhao Feng’s soul. The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was a key to opening it, and the Ancient Dream Realm aura was a catalyst.

“If things continue at this rate, my soul will be comparable to a half-step King two months later.”

Zhao Feng was quite looking forward to it.

The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was indeed worthy of a Heaven-Grade technique that could increase one’s chances of breaking through to the Void God Realm.

Even some Emperors wanted the technique, but Duanmu Qing never agreed.

Although Zhao Feng’s soul was weaker than those at the half-step Void God Realm, his mastery and usage of soul-power exceeded them. This meant that half-step Void God Realm intents no longer posed a threat to him.

On this day, Zhao Feng entered the Ancient Dream Realm once more.

Zhao Feng slowly walked over the barren lands.

Nowadays, he no longer entered the Ancient Dream Realm purely to absorb the aura; he also wanted to scout the place out.

“I walked four or five steps last time and appeared at that spot.”

Zhao Feng paid attention to every detail.

Whenever he entered the Ancient Dream Realm, he would appear at the same spot he left the previous time.

There was a patch of grass ahead.

“I probably need to take a couple thousand steps to reach that patch of grass.”

Zhao Feng walked seven or eight steps before standing still for a long time and absorbing a large amount of Ancient Dream Realm aura.

Before he left, Zhao Feng gazed ahead.

The grass was his first target. Further ahead was a stream.

Right at that moment, Zhao Feng’s God’s Spiritual Eye saw an ancient bird, around four to five feet long, flying in the air.

“What a terrifying aura!”

Zhao Feng’s body and soul felt a powerful Yao aura. The Yao aura emanating from the bird was hundreds, if not thousands of times stronger than its descendants.

As if sensing Zhao Feng, the red eyes of the bird flashed.

Boom!

Zhao Feng’s heart shook. He felt as if he was facing a Void God Realm King.

“Retreat!”

Zhao Feng felt a strong sense of danger and quickly left the Ancient Dream Realm.

Inside the room, Zhao Feng’s back was drenched in cold sweat.

Just a random bird within the Ancient Dream Realm was so strong.

In that place where he could barely manage to even walk, he had no chance against such a beast.

The scouting this time made Zhao Feng wary. While there may be fortune in the Ancient Dream Realm, accompanying it was also danger. There were obviously strong beings in there.

For the next two months, Zhao Feng stopped his comprehension and focused on his cultivation.

The signs of his Core Center becoming crystal-like were becoming more obvious.

At this moment, Zhao Feng took out the third item from the wooden box – the Crystal Core Pill.

Duanmu Qing had given Zhao Feng three items. Amongst them, the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the Dark Eye Secret Technique had given Zhao Feng a lot of supporting techniques, but there was still this pill.

__

_“This is a Crystal Core Pill, which can help those at the peak Small Origin Core Realm break through to the Great Origin Core Realm. Your cultivation isn’t enough to use it yet, but I found that the Core Center within your body is showing signs of turning into crystal, so using this now might have some good effects.”_

What Duanmu Qing said echoed in Zhao Feng’s mind.

Normally, only someone at the peak stage Small Origin Core Realm trying to break through to the Great Origin Core Realm would be suitable to use the Crystal Core Pill; those at the middle- and late-stage either wouldn’t be able to withstand the power, or they’d end up wasting a large portion of its energy.

However, being an Emperor, Duanmu Qing had good eyes.

Not only did he see that Zhao Feng’s state of existence had reached the limit of the Great Origin Core Realm, he also saw that the Core Center in Zhao Feng’s body was already showing signs of turning into crystal. Therefore, Zhao Feng would be able to withstand the pill.
