"What's going on? Does opening the Spiritual Sea take this long?"
Through his inner sight, Ye Feng observed the vast Spiritual Sea within him, formed by the condensation of spiritual energy. It was clearly already shaped, yet it hadn't concluded, leaving him quite puzzled.
Hmm?
At that moment, Ye Feng finally noticed something unusual: the spiritual energy within his Spiritual Sea suddenly intensified. If the power of the spiritual energy within the Spiritual Sea was 1 before, it had now reached 2.
"This... how is this possible!"
"Opening the Spiritual Sea is one thing, but how did I break through to the second level of the Spiritual Sea Realm!"
Old Bai, standing nearby, sensed a surge of breakthrough energy emanating from Ye Feng's body, and his eyes almost popped out in shock.
Opening the Spiritual Sea is akin to establishing one's foundation, a crucial step for any cultivator. It requires not only a quiet environment but also some auxiliary pills, striving to expand the Spiritual Sea to its fullest extent. Even after successfully opening the Spiritual Sea, it takes time to stabilize.
He had never witnessed a situation like Ye Feng's, where he opened the Spiritual Sea just like that, and the scene was extraordinary. Not only did he succeed, but he also skipped stabilizing his realm and directly broke through to the second level of the Spiritual Sea Realm!
Ten meters!
Hundred meters!
Thousand meters!
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a range of more than ten meters began to fluctuate, and now the spiritual energy within a range of nearly a thousand meters was violently surging, rushing madly into Ye Feng's body.
"What is happening! Can someone tell me what on earth is happening!"
Old Bai felt the spiritual energy within a thousand meters completely in turmoil, and he was utterly stunned!
Spiritual Sea Realm third level!
Spiritual Sea Realm fourth level!
Spiritual Sea Realm fifth level!
Waves of breakthrough energy continuously erupted from Ye Feng's body, and as the breakthrough speed increased, the range of spiritual energy fluctuations expanded once more.
Ten minutes later.
As Ye Feng smoothly broke through to the peak of the ninth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm, the spiritual energy within a range of several kilometers gradually calmed down.
"Ten minutes! I'm a man with a system, and it took me ten minutes to use Spendthrift Points to break through to the peak of the ninth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm. Shouldn't it have been instantaneous?"
Thinking of this, Ye Feng looked at the already dumbfounded Old Bai with an embarrassed expression and said, "Old Bai, it took me ten minutes to open the Spiritual Sea and break through to the peak of the ninth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm. If my master finds out, would they think I'm a waste?"
???
Waste?
You call yourself a waste?
Damn it, be a person, if you're a waste, then what are we?
Old Bai heard this and looked at Ye Feng, speechless for a long time. What could he say? That he himself took eight months to break through to the peak of the ninth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm, even with abundant cultivation resources?
And that was under the guidance of powerful cultivation techniques and experts.
Sighing deeply, Old Bai looked at Ye Feng and smiled, "No wonder you don't need the sect's cultivation techniques; you already have powerful techniques of your own."
After speaking, Old Bai was extremely curious about Ye Feng's cultivation technique. What kind of heaven-defying technique could allow someone to open the Spiritual Sea and break through to the peak of the ninth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm so smoothly in such a short time?
"What technique?"
"I don't have a technique, and I don't even have a spiritual root. I can't even sense the spiritual energy around me."
However, upon hearing Old Bai's words, Ye Feng voiced his confusion.
"Impossible!"
Hearing this, Old Bai's expression changed drastically, and he placed his hand on Ye Feng's forehead.
A vast divine sense quickly examined Ye Feng's body.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Moments later, Old Bai took several steps back, looking at the innocent-faced Ye Feng as if he were a monster, his eyes filled with disbelief.
No spiritual root!
He really had no spiritual root, which meant he shouldn't be able to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, let alone operate a cultivation technique to absorb it for cultivation.
Yet, in this bizarre situation, not only did he successfully open the Spiritual Sea, but he also broke through to the peak of the ninth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed such a terrifying thing could exist!
Moreover, was what he opened really a Spiritual Sea?
That was practically a vast Spiritual Sea!
To know, Luo Qianxue's Spiritual Sea was already twenty times that of a normal cultivator's, and even the ancestors were alarmed. Yet Ye Feng's vast Spiritual Sea was about twenty times that of Luo Qianxue's, which is equivalent to four hundred times that of a normal cultivator!
Gulp!
Thinking of this, even Old Bai couldn't help but swallow hard, looking at the harmless-faced Ye Feng, truly feeling defeated.
"Let's go, your situation should be seen by your master."
When in doubt, pass the buck!
Old Bai's idea was simple: since Ye Feng wasn't his disciple, this strange situation should be left for his young lady to worry about.
A few minutes later.
"Old Bai, why are you so slow?"
Luo Qianxue, who had been waiting at the peak for a long time, saw Old Bai and Ye Feng finally arrive and was quite annoyed. All this time wasted could have been used for cultivation.
"Miss, your precious disciple just had a breakthrough below. Not only is his Spiritual Sea more than twenty times yours, but he also conveniently broke through to the peak of the ninth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm."
"By the way, he doesn't have a spiritual root, so he shouldn't be able to embark on the path of cultivation."
After speaking, Old Bai directly headed towards the sect's main hall. This place wasn't really devoid of everything; it had the Sect Guardian Formation, Sect Main Hall, Outer Disciple residences, training grounds, Inner Disciple residences, and more.
Hmm?
Hearing Old Bai's words, Luo Qianxue frowned slightly and immediately checked Ye Feng's condition.
Upon seeing the vast Spiritual Sea within Ye Feng, even she couldn't help but gasp.
"Ye Feng, without a spiritual root, how did you open the Spiritual Sea and break through?"
After the initial shock, Luo Qianxue looked at Ye Feng with great curiosity and asked. This situation was something even her master in the Upper Realm might not be able to explain.
"The Full Moon Sect has come to visit, and requests the Star Soul Sect's master to come out!"
At this moment, an extremely arrogant voice came from below the peak.
Soon, an old man in a black robe, accompanied by three young men, walked up the peak path.
"What is your purpose for coming here?"
Seeing the visitors, Luo Qianxue asked directly with a hostile expression.
Having a strange disciple was already troublesome enough, and now people from another sect were coming, making it impossible for her to cultivate in peace.
"Are you the Star Soul Sect's master, Luo Qianxue?
According to those we encountered earlier, joining your Star Soul Sect requires handing over ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones. It's truly an eye-opener for me.
This time, I've brought sect disciples to challenge your sect's disciples."
The old man in black looked at Luo Qianxue with a provocative expression and stated his purpose directly.
