Chapter 407: One Year Later

The realm of Heaven’s Mandate was about cultivating the violet palace, or the central dantian. Despite being inside a body, it was unfathomably vast and mysterious just like the brain, impossible to be understood completely.

Just ten percent of development was amazing enough. The violet palace was about increasing strength while the brain was about improving intelligence.

It was relatively difficult to widen the violet palace. Each attempt could require up to several dozen years. Because of this difficulty, after each successful step, the cultivator would gain another fifty years of life in addition to the five hundred.

Feiyun sat among the boundless and surging spirit vein with all 360 of his meridians opened. They turned into 360 maelstroms that were crazily absorbing the spirit nearby then refined it into violet energy within the middle dantian.

An ordinary cultivator would only have one to ten strands of violet energy at first-level Heaven’s Mandate. However, Feiyun had around one hundred strands of majestic and billowing violet energy.

When one reached three thousand strands, they would reach the second level. Changing spirit energy into violet energy was a slow process. One thousand strands of spirit energy might turn into one strand of violet energy.

Because of this, it was too slow to rely on absorbing natural spirit energy from the world and refining it into the violet kind.

Thus, one needed to use spirit stones and veins. Without these two things, cultivators would forever be stuck at the first level, unable to convert energy into three thousand strands of violet energy.

This was the reason why people would compete so hard for resources in the cultivation world, fighting to the death even.

Feng Feiyun also researched the boat while converting his energy. This was an ancient divine boat that he saw on the Yellow River, full of rusts and was broken down. Surely something shocking was hidden inside.

However, with his current energy, he could only make it three hundred meters long. If it was any bigger, he would be drained dry.

This wasn’t the vessel’s real size. Its truest form was several thousand meters long, the size of a mountain.

Without reverting it back to its original form, there was no way of opening it.

Feiyun had tried to refine it but was pushed by back the mysterious power within. It wasn’t because he was weak, the power within was simply too strong.

Even the Evil Woman could only refine half of the spirit vessel even after borrowing the power of the altar.

Since he couldn’t overpower it, he decided to start with the Infinite Spirit Ring that was related to the vessel. He believed that this ring was an embryo artifact that could be upgraded to a spirit vessel.

When he obtained it in the beginning, it was only a pseudo spirit treasure. After adding the soul of a crimson tiger, it became a first-ranked spirit treasure. ‘If I could add an eight-hundred-year beast soul to the ring, I could upgrade it to a second-ranked treasure.’

His cultivation soared during this one year and had converted more than 2,800 strands of violet energy, nearly reaching the second level.

On this day, both Wan Xiangcen and Little Demoness came to visit.

“Feng Feiyun, the ancestor is waiting at the Skycycle Palace.” Xiangcen stood before him with a beautiful embroidered robe. Her hair was tied with a blue jade ribbon above her radiant, snow-white complexion.

Nearly one-half of the experts from the Seventh Hall have been killed by Feng Mo alone. Heretical cultivators were dying during their assault on the Feng recently too. Only Wan Xiangcen was fine. She had become a confidant of the Feng clan master, enjoying some authority.

Many Feng cultivators secretly called her the Feng young matron.

It was understandable that the clan would rise since they had an Enlightened Being. Becoming the young matron of this clan was not a bad thing for her.

Feiyun floated down while riding the wind with a touch as soft as a fluttering leaf. He looked at the beauty ahead with running emotions.

“I’m surprised that you still haven’t left the Feng Clan.” A faint smile appeared on his face.

Xiangcen used to be the prettiest in the Seventh Hall, on top of being its young lord. This was quite an enviable position.

“Feiyun, stop dreaming if you think I am staying because of you.” She smiled contemptuously back at him.

A woman like her would never follow a man just because he took her virginity.
