Free Web NovelChapter 114: Chapter 113: Senior Sister Xuelian
The Fourth Layer of the Tidal Extinction Sword Qi was nearly as powerful as a casual strike from a Condensing Vein Realm expert. Venerable Xuelian never imagined that Qin Feng could unleash such a terrifying sword attack. Caught completely off guard, she took a direct hit!
Although her True Power shielded her at the critical moment and saved her from injury, her clothes were destroyed by the rampaging Sword Qi, disintegrating into fragments!
...
Behind the stone pillar, Venerable Xuelian’s pretty face was so red it looked as if it might bleed. She gnashed her teeth, staring at the innocent-looking, black-robed youth in front of the Divine Altar.
’That little bastard! He absolutely did it on purpose!’ Behind the stone pillar, Venerable Xuelian’s chest heaved violently, her tall and exquisite body forming an exaggerated arc. She had half a mind to charge out and slap the little bastard to death, but alas, she was currently wearing nothing at all...
Qin Feng really hadn’t meant to do it. However, the memory of that fleeting glimpse of flawless white skin made his Qi and Blood surge.
’It seemed he had stumbled upon an incredible secret!’
Suddenly, a chill ran down Qin Feng’s spine, the feeling of being stared at by something terrifying. He didn’t need to guess to know that Venerable Xuelian was surely hidden somewhere, glaring at him with a murderous gaze.
Qin Feng gave a sheepish smile. He glanced at the silver token that had appeared in the center of the Divine Altar, took it in a few steps, and merged it with his All Stars Token. Then he slipped out of the Silver Palace in a flash, bolting down the path without a second glance.
Not long after Qin Feng left, Venerable Xuelian, now wrapped in white gauze, reappeared in front of the Silver Palace. As she watched Qin Feng’s hasty retreat, she bit her lip, her beautiful face frosty. She was so furious she could grind her teeth to dust.
’That little bastard. Just you wait. Once you get into All Stars Academy, I, your Senior Sister, will be sure to "take good care" of you!’
Venerable Xuelian gnashed her teeth!
...
Having passed the Seventh Palace, Qin Feng had finally caught up to the pace of the first-tier geniuses, and it even seemed he might soon overtake them.
Qin Feng was in a mad rush, leaping down the steep flight of stairs as if a fierce tiger were chasing him.
His figure moved with extreme speed, but he looked a little panicked. With each step, he would reappear over a hundred feet away in the next instant. In the blink of an eye, he had descended more than a mile. Qin Feng’s scalp tingled, as he could still feel that pair of eyes following him.
Only when he reached the mountainside did that pair of hostile eyes finally shift their attention away.
’Thank goodness she didn’t chase me!’ Looking back at the Silver Palace on the peak, Qin Feng secretly wiped away a cold sweat. If Venerable Xuelian had really flown into a rage, he’d have had no other choice but to tuck his tail and run.
’Thankfully, Venerable Xuelian didn’t pursue the matter!’ Qin Feng thought with relief. ƒreewebɳovel.com
’But to be honest, Venerable Xuelian’s body is absolutely perfect. It’s not the least bit inferior to the objects of my... fantasies!’ Now that his nerves had settled, he thought back to that fleeting, risqué glimpse from before, and his Qi and Blood couldn’t help but rush to his head again. His eyes began to glow.
’Not a single hair out of place... what a top-grade beauty!’ Qin Feng smacked his lips. It had been months since he had last ’tasted meat’ after his round of Cultivation Together with that woman by the river.
He’d had a chance to win over Xu Ya, one of the ten great beauties of Great Yan, back in Mountain and River City, but alas, he had left in too much of a hurry.
Leaving the Seventh Palace, Qin Feng went to find the Eighth Palace. The Eighth Palace was located within the ruins of the Lingxu Sect in the Central Plains of the Snowfield.
Qin Feng descended the steps. At the foot of the mountain, he saw a young woman in black robes meditating on a rock about a hundred paces away. Upon seeing Qin Feng come down the path, she immediately hopped off the rock and called out.
"Young Master Qin, wait a moment!"
"You’re Yin Lihua?" Qin Feng asked, looking at the black-robed young woman. She had an elegant face and a cold aura, and he felt a flicker of familiarity. He had seen this young woman at Yu Yao’s side once.
Qin Feng’s gaze swept over the black-robed young woman. Her Cultivation was not low; she was a genius at the Early-Innate Stage.
Among the tiers of geniuses at All Stars Academy, she was definitely a standout in the third tier.
"Young Master Qin, you have sharp eyes," the black-robed young woman said, her tone cool but respectful. "The Princess gave instructions. She said that after you passed the Seventh Palace, you would certainly come this way, and told us to wait for you here."
"So it was Brother Du’s order. Did she leave a message?"
The black-robed young woman nodded and took something out from her robes. "This is a map the Princess prepared for you, Young Master Qin. By following the map, you can find the location of the Eighth Palace directly. The Princess is waiting for you there!"
It was a simple map made of Snow Wolf Hide. Qin Feng glanced at it; the map depicted a portion of the glacial topography of the Snowfield, marking several glaciers that concealed unpredictable dangers. Such a thing was extremely valuable for traversing the Snowfield.
Then, Yin Lihua added, "In addition, I have some information about the Eighth Palace for you, Young Master Qin."
Yin Lihua briefly spoke about matters concerning the Eighth Palace, only departing an hour later.
The black-robed young woman departed in a hurry, apparently having other important matters to attend to.
With a flicker of his body, Qin Feng followed the map’s directions and hurried toward the Eighth Palace, the Lingxu Palace.
The Eighth Palace was different from the previous Seven Palaces. It was situated within a ten-thousand-year-old glacier—an extremely cold and treacherous place where ice floes converged.
According to the black-robed young woman, this place was originally a side residence of the Lingxu Sect. Although the Lingxu Sect was destroyed, some mysterious and terrifying entities still lingered inside.
It held unfathomable dangers.
However, great danger also concealed great opportunities.
According to the information Du Pingxia and the others had gathered, this side residence of the Lingxu Sect was also known as the Refining Spirit Palace. It was the place where Lingxu Sect disciples practiced Refining Spirit.
The Lingxu Sect was an ancient sect that had mastered many old, lost techniques. One of these was a peculiar skill called Refining Spirit.
Some Barbaric Beasts of ancient bloodlines often possessed Talent Divine Abilities that Martial Artists coveted. Some Barbaric Beasts’ Innate Divine Abilities even touched upon the most fundamental Laws, leading all the way to the Supreme God Demon Path.
Refining Spirit was the process of taking the Barbaric Beast Essence from these powerful creatures and using a Secret Technique for Refinement, randomly forging an Innate Divine Ability from the beast.
By using this ancient art in conjunction with the Lingxu Sect’s own Secret Techniques, they could take this forged Innate Divine Ability and perfectly graft it onto a Martial Artist.
This was equivalent to a Martial Artist being naturally born with an Innate Divine Ability.
And Innate Divine Abilities were Divine Abilities with limitless potential for growth!
This was an unbelievably heaven-defying technique. One had to understand that normally, only Divine Beasts with exceptionally powerful bloodlines would possess Innate Divine Abilities from birth.
Examples included the Vermilion Bird’s Nanming Li Fire, the Phoenix’s Nirvana Divine Abilities, the Xuanwu’s Overturning Rivers and Seas, the Chongming’s Return to Heaven and Sun, the Thunder Beast’s Heaven and Earth Divine Thunder, and so on.
It was by mastering this unique technique that the Lingxu Sect had risen so quickly to become a first-rate power on the Spirit Sea Continent.
However, with the destruction of the Lingxu Sect, the secret of Refining Spirit had long since been lost! freёweɓnovel.com
However, according to the news from Du Pingxia, someone had discovered the Land of Spirit Refining not far from the Eighth Palace in the glacier—the very place that sank underground when the Lingxu Sect was destroyed all those years ago.
Because of this, a group of first-tier geniuses including Liu Canyang, Xiao Yuchan, and Yuan Daozhen had already hurried over, ready to enter the Land of Spirit Refining at any time.
