Chapter 975: Chapter 972: Eyes of God, Breakthrough!

"I’m not helping you. His contribution of obtaining the Demon Sect stronghold map is considerable. These are what he deserves. However, this Nine Lotus Star Gathering Formation only gathers star essence; how much he can absorb depends on himself."

Shui Qingcheng looked at Luo Feng within the Nine-colored Mysterious Lotus and said slowly.

Shui Linglong nodded, thought for a moment, and said:

"Sister, you already know about Luo Feng and Gu Xifeng, don’t you?"

"Mm."

Shui Qingcheng nodded.

"How do you plan to handle it?"

Although Shui Linglong had confidence in Luo Feng’s strength, Gu Xifeng’s cultivation of the Chaos Hole Ten Thousand Water Jue wasn’t simple either. Cultivating the Chaos Hole Ten Thousand Water Jue to small success allows a drop of Yuan Qi to weigh a thousand pounds, with formidable power.

Shui Qingcheng said, "This is an agreement between him and Gu Xifeng, and I’m not in a position to interfere. Linglong, this time you broke Golden Palace rules to admit Luo Feng into the palace; many elders within the palace have much to say. This battle can prove whether your decision was correct. Luo Feng should also be aware of this, which is why he proposed having Gu Xifeng acknowledge his conditions."

Shui Linglong’s gaze flickered slightly, sighed, and said:

"I know he is considering me, but if he loses, he must leave the Golden Palace, and by then, other palaces may no longer accept him as a disciple."

"The path is chosen by himself, and he has to walk it alone; no one can help him."

Shui Qingcheng glanced at Luo Feng and said, "I don’t stop them for another reason. Lu Xiao Yun is proud and arrogant and will never allow Luo Feng, who also comes from Purple Sun School, to override him. In this New Dragon Ranking Conference, if Luo Feng doesn’t have the strength to defeat Lu Xiao Yun, it will be dangerous. You should understand the peril of the New Dragon Ranking Conference."

Shui Linglong’s gaze slightly condensed, nodding her head.

The New Dragon Ranking Conference is not merely a contest of strength among the Golden Palace disciples but involves immense interests. The rules of the conference are ruthless, with many geniuses perishing each year.

Shui Qingcheng withdrew her gaze and said to Shui Linglong:

"Linglong, you must also seize the time to cultivate. This time, I went to the sacred Free and Unfettered Sect and heard many news due to the North Sea Ice Palace’s Second Princess awakening her Saint Soul; the relationships among major forces in the North Sea have become intensely tense, and an earth-shattering battle could erupt at any moment. Great Demons have emerged in East Ridge’s Demon Region, and Southern Forest’s Wild tribe is restless. There’s even a rumor that someone from Western Region’s Demon Sect’s Demon Eye Clan has awakened the ’Eyes of God’."

"Eyes of God!"

Shui Linglong’s face changed color; historically, only one person on the True Martial Continent awakened the Eyes of God. At that time, the individual nearly unified the Five Major Domains, but eventually, all top masters from the Five Major Domains united, sacrificing numerous experts before turning the tide.

"It’s just a rumor, and whether it’s true remains uncertain. However, strange phenomena have arisen, and within ten years, or even as few as three or five years, there will undoubtedly be great changes in the Five Major Domains. We must also prepare accordingly."

"Hmm." Shui Linglong nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing that Luo Feng’s breath had begun to stabilize, Shui Qingcheng said:

"He’s no longer in danger; let’s return."

Before the words fell, Shui Qingcheng’s silhouette vanished without a trace.

Shui Linglong glanced at Luo Feng, her figure transformed into a ball of firelight, heading towards the mountain peak, disappearing in an instant.

Shui Qingcheng and Shui Linglong’s conversation was not concealed, but Luo Feng, at this moment, was entirely focused on refining the fierce medicinal strength within him, oblivious to the outside world, so he didn’t hear their dialogue, nor did he know that the Linglong Hall Master personally protected him; otherwise, he’d be too astonished to close his mouth.

As the star essence gathered by the Nine Lotus Star Gathering Formation merged into Luo Feng’s body, the originally aggressive stellar vortex calmed significantly.

Luo Feng immediately sensed this slight change. Although he didn’t know why, he understood the opportunity was not to be missed and fully operated the Divine Dragon Nine Changes, refining the stellar vortex into original Yuan Qi.

As one stellar vortex after another was refined, a thread of gold began to appear in his meridians, like shining stars in the night sky, gleaming brightly.

Stellar Spin, a month passed.

The originally clean courtyard was now filled with fallen leaves, weeds had grown to half a foot high, creating a desolate scene.

In the middle of the courtyard, the large Nine-colored Mysterious Lotus enveloping Luo Feng had dimmed significantly.

This morning.

Buzz!

The Nine-colored Mysterious Lotus trembled slightly, with a crack appearing in the middle, followed by this crack rapidly spreading like a spider web.

Crash!

Eventually, the Nine-colored Mysterious Lotus shattered completely, turning to powder, dissipating into the void, layers of ripples like substance spreading outwards, ten-zhang around, the fallen leaves and weeds instantly becoming powder, the stone ground scraped low a layer.

The two outer disciples sweeping outside Panlong Residence only felt an inexplicable oppression coming at them, nearly unable to stand.

"What happened?"

After calming down, a pretty girl recalled the feeling just now, still shaken with fear.

The other looked towards Panlong Residence, dazed, and said:

"Senior Brother Luo Feng has been in seclusion impacting Spiritual Rotation Realm’s eighth level; it’s been two months, could he have broken through?"

"It should be true; the aura just now oppressed me so much I could barely breathe. So, this is the aura of a Spiritual Rotation Realm eighth level martial artist; it’s incredibly powerful! We’ve entered Linglong Hall with Senior Brother Luo Feng. He’s now already at the eighth level, while we’re still striving to reach the Spiritual Rotation Realm, and we have to do chores every day. Comparing with others really brings frustration."

The pretty girl held a broom with a face full of envy.

"Hehe, complaining is useless; finish the sweeping and get back to cultivating. Striving to enter Spiritual Rotation Realm and become inner sect disciples is more pressing."

"Yes, yes..."

The pretty girl sighed, her broom sweeping across, executing a sword technique.

"Summer Rain Torrent!"

Swoosh!

A fierce wind arose, the leaves on the path swept into the air, shredded by sharp Qi Force, falling into the woods beside.

In the courtyard, Luo Feng opened his eyes, his gaze shining; he rose from the ground, a majestic aura like a mountain emanating from his slightly thin figure. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Eh!"

Feeling the changes within, Luo Feng’s eyes showed some surprise; upon careful sensing, surprise immediately turned to joy.

"Late Spiritual Rotation Realm eighth level! How is this possible..."

Luo Feng’s expression revealed disbelief.

The Star Fighting Yuan Spirit Pill was only a six-grade inferior Spirit Pill, and originally, he did not have much confidence in breaking through to Spiritual Rotation Realm eighth level mid-stage. However, now he was already in late Spiritual Rotation Realm eighth level cultivation!

Buzz!

With a slight frown, Luo Feng immediately operated Divine Dragon Nine Changes fully; a muffled dragon roar echoed from within as his robes billowed around him, a surging power seemed to fill his body, unmatched in strength, entirely different from when he first broke through Spiritual Rotation Realm eighth level.

Heavily exhaling a breath, Luo Feng murmured to himself:

"It’s indeed late Spiritual Rotation Realm eighth level; who would’ve thought a six-grade inferior Spirit Pill could have such a significant effect! This way, my gap with Lu Xiao Yun has narrowed considerably."

Luo Feng didn’t know that what he consumed was not the Star Fighting Yuan Spirit Pill but the six-grade top Spirit Pill ’Starfight Juggernaut Pill.’

Moreover, even the Starfight Juggernaut Pill couldn’t allow him to achieve such progress in merely a month. The great advancement was largely thanks to Shui Qingcheng’s Nine Lotus Star Gathering Formation.

Surveying his surroundings, Luo Feng looked at the disordered weeds in the courtyard, smiled wryly:

"It’s already been a month; unexpectedly, this time in seclusion lasted so long. Zi Ling’s birthday approaches; it’s time to return to Panlong City. I wonder what expression father and mother will have when they see me..."

He chuckled lightly, suddenly feeling a strong hunger. Even a Spiritual Rotation Realm martial artist, after not eating or drinking for a month, is near the limit.

After a quick wash, Luo Feng opened the door and headed straight for the Linglong Hall dining hall.
