C456 First Step
The distance between them and the King's Banquet was getting closer and closer. The situation in the Royal City was getting more and more chaotic. Some god 's favored chose to train themselves through actual combat, while others were cultivating in seclusion, such as Han Feng.
According to Han Feng's proficiency in controlling martial skills, he estimated that he would need to cultivate to the peak level before he could be useful in battle.
Outside the courtyard, there were occasionally young god 's favored that wanted to test Han Feng's ability, but Han Feng ignored them. To him, he didn't lack actual combat experience. What he needed was to increase his strength.
Currently, he had successfully broken through to the Peak iof Earth Energy Stage, and could even break through to the Celestial Energy Stage. He had enough experience, and once he reached the King's Banquet, he would need to enter secluded cultivation to break through and condense his Heavenly Yuan.
"Old Dragon, what do you think about these little fellows' recent situation?" In a courtyard in the guest area, an old man was brimming with energy. The black chess piece in his hand landed on the chessboard, and the black chess piece seemed to be crisscrossing with each other. It transformed into a terrifying Imprisoning Dragon, and a sharp claw slashed forward.
On the other hand, a middle aged man sat opposite the old man, and his gaze was sharp as he looked at the chessboard. His white piece descended, causing the board on his side to seem like a firm shield that was firm and unbreakable.
However, a sharp tip suddenly shot out from the middle of this impenetrable defense and collided with the black dragon's sharp claw.
Although the two of them were playing a game of chess, it was like a battle, and it carried a trace of an intense feeling.
"There are some good seedlings this year who have a high chance of making it to the top." Loong Yi said with a faint smile.
The old man was speechless for a long time. He was thinking about what to do with the next piece.
"The people there should be arriving soon." The old man finally spoke. With a click, the black piece hit the chessboard.
"According to the rules of the past, it should be soon." A sharp glint flashed across Loong Yi's eyes. "Elder Qin, are we really going to send these seedlings there?"
Elder Qin was silent again. His eyes, which were shining with wisdom, seemed to be completely focused on the chessboard. There were no other thoughts in his mind.
"We are not sending these seedlings to that place. These children need a platform. State of Zhao is too small for them."
"What Elder Qin means is that even if they are chosen, they can choose not to go to that place?" Loong Yi was slightly surprised. No one dared to reject the order of that place. Even if they wanted to change the ruler of State of Zhao, they wouldn't dare to say no.
"Of course you can. The students of Hongtian Academy, even if it's the father of the Heavenly King, we can't force them."
On the chessboard, the black dragon claw reached out and knocked down the spike of the shield.
Loong Yi's expression turned serious, and then he revealed a smile, "Old Qin is a hundred years old, but his ambition is still as great as it was in the past. A true dragon will eventually shine."
"My mission is to protect this academy. It has been a hundred years, and the academy will always be strong. If it falls in my hands, I will let down the ancestors of the academy." Old Qin sighed with emotion, and seemed to be sighing with emotion.
"The dean has been traveling the continent for forty years, right? I wonder what level his cultivation base has reached. " Loong Yi asked with a smile.
"That kid's talent is very high. He has broken through to the Astral Martial Stage before the age of thirty. He's much stronger than me, an old man. He has been in the outside world for forty years. He should be able to reach the legendary realm, right? With a flick of his hand, the heavy burden of the entire academy fell onto my shoulders. My brain was broken, my brother was focused on cultivation, unless there was a life or death crisis in the academy, he wouldn't show himself. Fortunately, you're in charge of the overall situation of the academy now, which allowed me to live peacefully for a few days. "
Elder Qin said with a smile. Although he had some complaints in his mouth, Loong Yi could see that Elder Qin's feelings towards the academy were very deep. After guarding the academy for a hundred years, he had already coexisted with the academy.
"Next, what should I do? Elder Qin, please enlighten me." Loong Yi asked.
"Keep these young seedlings alive. As long as they can grow and reach the supreme realm... At that time, they will be able to control this country and bring the academy to greater heights. " Elder Qin's expression was sharp. "When the time comes, we must take the initiative to attack. Only then will we have a chance to survive."
As Elder Qin's voice faded, the black dragon that had transformed into the Imprisoning Dragon moved forward violently. In an instant, Loong Yi's shield shattered, and a vast force swept across the entire chessboard. Loong Yi's eyes trembled, and he said with a bitter smile, "Old Qin's chess skills are superb. Loong Yi is far inferior to him."
"I don't have any other hobbies in the past hundred years. I just want to play a game of chess. If I'm not as good as you, wouldn't my hundred years of life be in vain? " Elder Qin also smiled. He stood up and walked to the window, looking into the distance. " The real chess game is about to begin."
Loong Yi also took a step forward. The clouds in the sky were rolling. It was as if there was a shooting star flashing by. It was also as if a powerful person had arrived.
Just as Elder Qin had said, the chess game was about to begin.
A few days later, several powerful auras descended outside King Zhao's palace. It was as if there were endless seals rolling in the sky, emitting a heavenly light. Then, overnight, there was a magnificent palace standing outside King Zhao's palace. It was so huge that it was not even inferior to any of the palaces in the palace.
This palace didn't have a name, and the people of Royal City didn't know where it came from, nor did they know what it was. They could only see clouds and mist surrounding the palace. There was a sigil carved on the plaque, and it seemed to be flowing with divine light.
Many people were curious about this palace, and they did not know which faction had built it. It dared to stand side by side with the palace, and the palace remained silent about the arrival of the palace. It was as if it did not know about it. The people of the Nine Great Aristocratic Families also didn't mention anything about it, and they turned a blind eye to the palace.0
Many people became interested in the seal of the palace. They used the Vital Energy Power to probe the seal. However, when the Vital Energy Power approached the seal, there were tiny divine patterns shining on the seal. It released a terrifying power that enveloped the Martial Cultivator itself, killing it with absolute power.
After this result was spread, many experts were silent like cicadas in winter. They were extremely respectful towards this mysterious palace, as if they were worshipping a god.
A few days later, a mysterious expert wearing a long robe appeared in the palace. These experts were all wearing long robes with complicated seals embroidered on them. Their expressions were arrogant and noble, and their cultivation was unfathomable, making it difficult for others to see through them.
These experts in long robes headed towards the palace and the residences of the noble families. As if they were passing down some sort of order, they left not long after and returned to the palace.
Some of the people in the know had vaguely guessed their identities, but they did not dare to say anything. To these experts, they could hear very subtle sounds. If they wanted to protect their own lives, they had to keep their mouths shut.
Some Expert of Astral Martial Stage would discover that there were more eyes in the void, as if they were watching everything below. They wanted to find out more, but they found that the other party's strength far surpassed theirs, so they could only avoid it.
However, no matter how mysterious this palace was, to the people of Royal City, this Talisman Seal Palace must be related to the King's Banquet.
...
In the courtyard of the guest hall, Han Feng was sitting cross-legged in his room. His mind was cultivating in the dreamland.
His realm was already sufficient, he was only a step away from the Celestial Energy Stage. The body forged by the Celestial Fire Burning Body Spell was close to perfection, and he was just an ordinary cultivator of the same realm. He could explode it with a single punch, and the strength of his soul was extremely strong. He could condense a perfect Second Order Divine Crest in an instant. His combat strength was comparable to a Peak of Celestial Energy Stage.
In fact, if he used his full strength in executing the Annihilation Sword, he could even kill a Peak of Celestial Energy Stage warrior, and it would be extremely powerful.
"After the King's Banquet is over, my Nirvana Intent and the will of my blood will... The Will of Fire and Arrow must be improved. Only then can I become a Peak of Celestial Energy Stage warrior. Gather the strongest Destiny Spirit!" Han Feng's eyes sparkled. Right now, he was very close to the Celestial Energy Stage. He had to make plans for himself.
During these few days of rest, Han Feng had obtained a lot of information about his breakthrough to the Astral Martial Stage from the system, which was very helpful to his cultivation.
For many people who weren't talented enough, being able to break through to the Astral Martial Stage meant that they were blessed by the heavens. There were no requirements for the Destiny Spirit, and it did not matter even if the weakest Destiny Spirit was condensed. After all, once one broke through to the Astral Martial Stage and became a Martial Lord, they would be able to look down on all living beings. They would be able to dominate the entire main city.
However, if he wanted to become a true expert, he obviously couldn't do that.
There were some techniques recorded in the Nine Yuan Scripture that could condense Destiny Spirit. Han Feng speculated. Back then, his father was able to achieve invincibility in the same realm. It was definitely not something that could be done with just three Vital Energies. He must have condensed three extremely powerful Destiny Spirit in order to do so.
"If one wants to agglomerate a powerful Destiny Spirit, one must communicate with the star spirit energy. On the continent, there is a Level Nine. The star energy of every Level One is different. The higher you go, the denser the star energy becomes, and the higher its quality. It can be used to forge the strongest Destiny Spirit. " Han Feng muttered to himself. This was what the system told him.
Currently, Han Feng already knew some of the mysteries of the Heaven Defying Devil Arts, including absorbing star energy into his body while cultivating. It was hard to imagine that the Heaven Defying Devil Arts could do such an unimaginable thing. This was enough to show the peerless divine ability of this cultivation technique.
"When I break through to the Astral Martial Stage, I need to form the Vital Energy first. After that, I will create the Destiny Spirit. The three Destiny Spirits will be placed in one Vital Energy each. If I have time, I need to think about what kind of Destiny Spirit I should create. " Han Feng's eyes sparkled. He calculated the days. Tomorrow would be the King's Banquet.
He pressed his palm forward, and a wave of devil Qi soared into the sky. In an instant, the killing sword Qi swept across everything. Numerous Crazy Devil roared and tore the sky and earth apart. The devil contained a terrifying sword intent, as if these Crazy Devils were formed by sharp swords. Boundless sword might swept across the sky and earth.
Han Feng took one step at a time, and it was as if he had turned into a devil. His eyes were pitch-black, looking down on everything. He circulated his spiritual energy to the limit. Suddenly, the Dream World was ravaged by a terrifying storm of energy. It was as if there was an invisible giant hand trying to break the Dream World apart.
"I control the Dream World, but I will not only control the Dream World. Heaven and earth must submit to me!"
Han Feng's eyes were burning with passion. The King's Banquet was only the first step, the first step to becoming a supreme being!
