Chapter 411: Kuang Batian (1/2)

With Mu Sheng’s assistance, Grotto Mistress Hypnosis became filled with vigour and was able to face the next tribulation lightning at full strength.

“Ha ha. Thank you, Senior Mu,” Chen Feng gave his thanks.

“It is just a simple matter for me. Besides, I had absorbed so much of your immortal energy. It is only right that I repay you for it.” Mu Sheng waved his hand.

Finally, Grotto Mistress Hypnosis succeeded in overcoming her Lightning Tribulation, rising up to level 2 of the Sky Human stage. However, her whole body was covered in wounds and she was left in a terribly weakened state.

Mu Sheng waved his hand again and the life-type spiritual energy within the valley converged before entering Grotto Mistress Hypnosis’ body. Once again, the wounds on Grotto Mistress Hypnosis’ body began healing rapidly.

“Thank you, Senior Mu!” Grotto Mistress Hypnosis came before Mu Sheng and said, her face filled with gratitude.

“He he, don’t mention it,” Mu Sheng replied with a chuckle.

“Good! This is good! This time, everyone managed to grow stronger and the three of you even managed to overcome Lightning Tribulation. This is a joyous occasion!” Chen Feng said, beaming.

“Kid, you look so happy. Did you manage to gain something as well?” Tower secretly said.

“Yes. Observing the Lightning Tribulations earlier, by feeling the energies and impression they gave off, I feel enlightened. There is also the atmosphere of vitality created by Senior Mu’s cultivation process earlier. The Life and Death acupoints within my body have begun to loosen,” Chen Feng replied.

“Oh, really? Looks like you are not without any comprehension abilities,” Tower then said with a chortle.

“Humph!” Chen Feng responded with a snort and ignored Tower. Instead, he silently focused on recalling the impression of life and death that he had experienced earlier.

Following the Longevity Scripture, the Nine Grand acupoints had to be opened for level 9 of the Concealed stage. The nine acupoints were: Soul, Anima, Yin, Yang, Life, Death, Void, Actual and Return. At that moment, Chen Feng had managed to gain some comprehension towards the Life and Death acupoints, making them the first two insight acupoints that he would work on.

After that, they did not leave the valley as they silently cultivated themselves. The spiritual energy there was high. Add the immortal energy that Chen Feng released into the equation, everyone’s cultivation base kept rising.

Ten days after Chen Feng began cultivating his Life and Death acupoints, he found that he could not accurately point out the locations of the two acupoints. He could only acquire a faint feeling for them. Even so, Chen Feng did gain some harvest for his efforts. The level of his soul had risen.

Truly shocking. I didn’t think that my attempts to assail these insight acupoints alone could increase the level of my soul, Chen Feng blurted inwardly.

“Ha ha! You are currently just cultivating the Life and Death acupoints. Wait until you are cultivating the Soul and Anima acupoints. Just see how much stronger your soul power would become then!” Tower laughed.

“Soul and Anima. Yes. Once I open these two insight acupoints, my soul power will skyrocket.” Chen Feng nodded his head.

It did not take long for another month to pass by. All they did within the valley was cultivate and cultivate and their strength rose every day. Thus, not a single one of them felt bored. As for Mu Sheng, he casually sat within the valley with his eyes closed, not moving in the slightest. He looked like a dead man. However, everyone could clearly feel that the vitality within the valley was growing stronger by the day.

On this particular day, Chen Feng was attempting to sense the location of the Life acupoint when he sensed formidable ripples coming from the space around him. Immediately, he snapped open his eyes.

“There are people fighting nearby.” Jian Xiaotian swiftly moved towards Chen Feng.

“This has been a very peaceful month. It would appear that someone has found this valley. However, there are powerful yao beasts defending the outer areas of Azuremist Mountain. For this to happen despite that, the other side must be experts,” Chen Feng said.

He had only just said that when a rainbow appeared on the sky. The rainbow streaked forward from the distance to enter the valley. A cultivator with a highly domineering atmosphere stood atop the rainbow.

“A level 9 Sky Human stage cultivator. There is only one step between him and the Human Immortal stage,” Tower said with a chuckle.

“Finally, these experts have begun taking action,” Chen Feng blurted.

“You fellows below, report your names!” The cultivator appeared to be around 30 years old. Wearing black clothes, he sported a tall coronet on his head while his hand gripped a sword, which was gleaming with dazzling light. His shout caused a world-encompassing aura to assail Chen Feng and the others.

Ta! Ta! Ta!

Everyone there, Chen Feng included, reflexively took a few steps backwards. At the same time, Chen Feng could feel an unfathomable soul power pressing down on his sea of wisdom.

Humph! Regardless of who he may be, this action of his is too overbearing! Chen Feng immediately grew irritated.

“And who are you? You broke in without asking the owner’s permission. What is the difference between you and a bandit?” Chen Feng said loudly.

As expected, after hearing Chen Feng’s words, an icy and harsh look flashed across the cultivator’s eyes.

“Impudence! A little insect dares to talk back to me? You don’t know the meaning of death!” The cultivator waved his hand and a five-coloured stream of light converged to form a sword beam before shooting towards Chen Feng.

Judging by the direction taken by the sword beam, it was aimed right at Chen Feng’s sea of energy.

Bang!

A tree branch suddenly flew over to smash the sword beam apart. Mu Sheng had taken action.

“Ha ha ha! You don’t even know me, but you unleashed such a vicious move right from the start? You are quite ruthless, oh exalted one!” Chen Feng said with a sneer.

“So, there are experts here. It seems my assessment was wrong.” The black-clad cultivator turned to look at Mu Sheng.

“I dare not take on the title of expert. However, killing a small fry like you will not be an issue for me,” Mu Sheng said nonchalantly.

“With your abilities? What a braggart! Whatever, I will teach you insects a lesson,” the black-clad cultivator said as a five-coloured light radiated fiercely from his entire body. Like rays of sunlight, sword beams descended towards every single person in the valley.

The sword beams appeared weak. However, Chen Feng and the others knew that every one of them could easily kill off those below level 9 of the Sky Human stage.
