Chapter 101: Chapter 100: Innate Realm, The Hidden Dragon Soars
The fourth wave, the fifth wave, the sixth wave. After his Innate Primordial Qi was refined three times, he broke through to the Martial Arts Sixth Layer Heaven as a matter of course!
The momentum showed no signs of stopping!
Then came the Early Stage of the Martial Arts Sixth Layer Heaven, the Mid-stage of Martial Arts Sixth Layer Heaven, and the Late Stage of Martial Arts Sixth Layer Heaven! Finally, the Late Peak of the Sixth Heaven of Martial Arts!
The seventh wave, the eighth wave, the ninth wave! The surging Innate Primordial Qi billowed and churned, instantly propelling him to the Peak of the Martial Arts Sixth Realm!
As the Innate Purple Qi infused his body, Qin Feng found that his meridians seemed to have been tempered. He could now withstand the terrifying force of the nine tidal waves with ease, and this wasn’t even his limit.
What Qin Feng didn’t know was that this infusion of Purple Qi was like a great river, an immense opportunity. The Innate Purple Qi was a form of Innate Pure Qi, a Sacred Object capable of completely remolding a person’s body.
Having absorbed so much Innate Purple Qi, his body had undergone a metamorphosis. His aptitude and potential were now on a completely different level.
Qin Feng had already grasped the Mystical Realm, so he had no bottlenecks left before the Innate Realm. Pushing forward in one go, he was like a hidden dragon soaring into the heavens!
By now, the Purple Qi from the heavens had begun to fade.
After reaching the Peak of the Martial Arts Sixth Realm, he could faintly touch the threshold of the Innate Realm!
But just then, the Purple Qi on the horizon grew increasingly thin, as faint as smoke and about to dissipate!
Qin Feng’s expression remained calm. He fully activated his Innate Primordial Qi, which was at the peak of the Sixth Layer. The surging Innate Primordial Qi flowed with the force of wind and thunder.
Following a Secret Technique from the Innate Primordial Qi Cultivation Technique, Qin Feng began to condense his Inner Breath to break through to the Innate Realm!
RUMBLE!
It was as if rivers were surging inside his body, rumbling loudly as a wisp of smooth, Innate qi began to form.
This wisp of Innate qi was different from his other Inner Breath. It was Spiritual, like the crack of spring thunder, carrying a trace of the Innate Qian Yuan Creation Power.
This was the unique Innate Power of a Martial Arts Seventh Layer Heaven expert—Innate True Qi!
An endless amount of Inner Breath had only just managed to form a single wisp of Innate True Qi!
The moment this wisp of Innate True Qi appeared, countless streams of Inner Breath acted like fertile spring soil, transforming into nutrients and merging into it.
This wisp of Innate True Qi expanded rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the vast, river-like Innate Primordial Qi throughout his body transformed into a trickling stream of Innate Primordial True Qi.
He had silently broken through to the Martial Arts Seventh Layer Heaven, the Innate Realm! ƒreewebɳovel.com
Qin Feng opened his eyes just in time to see the purple sun on the horizon dissipate as the red sun rose in the east. He broke into a grin, a Spiritual, clear aura emanating from his body and dispelling the white snow several yards around him.
Snow-capped peaks stretched for ten thousand ridges. A faint red light shone upon the summits, which seemed to reach for the very clouds, creating a magnificent vista.
"A wild crane and a lonely cloud—a life of leisure.
A clear wind and a bright moon—a lifetime on the Dao.
A thousand open-hearted mountains gather the cloudy qi,
The four seas gleam, reflecting the sun’s splendor.
Alas, the majestic power of Creation,
That places mountains and rivers within the Void.
Who can know the bounds of the Eight Desolates and Four Seas?
All are held within a single breath of Primordial Qi!"
As he recited the verse, a crystalline light flickered in his eyes. An invisible power expanded and contracted around Qin Feng. His figure seemed to drift like an immortal’s, and the white snow falling in the wind melted before it could even come within three feet of him, repelled by an unseen qi.
Compared to before his seclusion when he absorbed the Innate Purple Qi, Qin Feng was now dozens of times more powerful!
Qin Feng’s gaze fell upon the Ancient Sword nearby. As his eyes focused, the Ancient Sword hummed. With a CLANG, a streak of cold light flew from the sheath. The Ancient Sword seemed to possess a Spiritual quality, flying into Qin Feng’s hand like a White Dragon.
Qin Feng gripped the hilt and slashed!
The Ancient Sword in his palm let out a sharp ZWING, as if suddenly awakening from a long slumber with a joyous roar. A beam of sword light, as graceful as a dragon, leaped forth. The stunning, piercing light instantly filled the Void as it shot toward a massive, hundred-yard-wide boulder in the distance.
Sword Qi flared, and a single slash brought a chilling light!
With a loud BOOM, the massive boulder was sliced apart as if it were a smooth block of tofu!
The next moment, a figure in a black robe shot down from the Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain Peak like a bolt of lightning. The black-robed figure actually leaped from the ten-thousand-fathom-high peak.
Beneath the red sun of dawn, the black-robed figure looked like a majestic eagle soaring through the air!
「Half a day later.」
Qin Feng’s figure reappeared in the Ice and Snow Valley. Facing the waterfall that seemed to plunge from the heavens, his black-robed form vanished into the cascade in an instant.
Three breaths. In just three breaths’ time, the black-robed youth transformed into a streak of light and burst out against the current with a deafening ROAR!
Three breaths! It only took Qin Feng three breaths to pass the first trial. If anyone had seen it, they would have never believed it!
Unfortunately, no one witnessed this scene.
A streak of light flashed, and Qin Feng’s figure appeared inside a temple palace forged from ice and snow—the Holy Spring Palace!
Qin Feng’s eyes swept across the room and immediately spotted an All Stars Token resting on a Divine Altar. With a casual gesture, an unseen force pulled it into his palm.
"So this is the token for passing the trial," Qin Feng chuckled, a thought occurring to him.
At the same time, Qin Feng took out the All Stars Token that symbolized his identity. As he brought the two tokens together, they merged before his eyes, reforming into a single Order of the Stars.
This time, however, there was a small change on the Order of the Stars—an additional golden star!
A glimmer of understanding flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes. ’So, this is the symbol for passing the first trial!’
Qin Feng’s figure flickered as he passed straight through the Holy Spring Palace, heading for the second trial at the Ice River Palace.
The second trial, the Ice River Palace, was located upstream from the waterfall. The river was immense and its waters murky. At several dozen miles wide, its roaring spray churned as if it were a river that reached the heavens.
It was probably the only reason such a river wouldn’t freeze over in the extreme cold of the Snowfield.
The first palace, the Holy Spring Palace, was built above the waterfall. To enter the second, the Ice River Palace, one had to find a way to cross this terrifying river on their own. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
The river was dozens of miles wide with a torrential current. The difficulty of crossing such a terrifying river by oneself, all while searching for the Ice River Palace—which was built somewhere on the water’s surface in the middle of the roiling waves—was immense.
Behind the Holy Spring Palace, nearly a hundred youths were still stranded, their eyes bloodshot and at their wits’ end.
Qin Feng’s appearance drew everyone’s attention.
"Someone else still hasn’t made it to the second palace?"
"It’s him! It’s Qin Feng!" someone recognized the black-robed youth.
"Who’s Qin Feng?" someone next to him quickly asked.
"A coward who offended Liu Qinghe and was hiding at the first trial, too scared to come out!" the person sneered.
"He offended Liu Qinghe? What’s his Cultivation level?"
"Supposedly at the Peak of Martial Arts Fourth Layer Heaven, about the same as us. His Cultivation is probably near the bottom! He might even be dead last in our year!" the person said with a self-mocking laugh.
"Why do you even care? He’s just like us, stuck here either way!"
He quickly sensed that something was wrong. Why had it suddenly gone quiet? He looked up and saw all the other youths staring blankly ahead. Following their gaze, he saw a figure pass straight through the Holy Spring Palace and fly out over the boundless surface of the water.
His movements were effortless, like the Wave-Riding Light Step. He walked upon the turbulent waves as if strolling on clouds. Within a few breaths, he had already covered several hundred yards, heading straight for a magnificent palace on the river.
In just a few breaths, he had already passed the second trial and was rushing toward the third, the Heavenly Zither Palace!
At the Holy Spring Palace, everyone’s lips trembled as they stared at each other, utterly speechless.
