Chapter 223 - Mystic Realm: Closed
Chapter 223 Mystic Realm: Closed
Zhou Feng had already reshaped Li Rong’s personality.
In the past, she would get flustered and reluctant during battle.
Now, however, a cold expression was plastered on her face, and she did not utter a single word!
At the same time, her actions were ruthless enough. She didn’t possess Zhou Feng’s astonishing healing ability, so she was extremely cautious when it came to positioning herself, defending, or attacking.
Zhou Feng held the front while Li Rong acted as the perfect support character.
Zhou Feng felt that he could display more than 100% of his strength with Li Rong’s support.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that having someone who specialized in supporting him was cool!
That was especially since Li Rong had a technique that specialized in supporting battles.
Coupled with that pile of top-grade spiritual artifacts, Li Rong’s lethality was not low.
Soon, almost everyone in the mystic realm was taught a lesson by Zhou Feng and Li Rong’s combination.
Zhou Feng took the initiative to find others to battle toward the end. He couldn’t wait for others to come and find him.
‘Invincible Aura! It has reached 25 layers!?’
Zhou Feng glanced at the skill panel and found that he had unknowingly stacked the passive Invincible Aura 25 times.
The most obvious change was that a hazy shadow had appeared behind Zhou Feng.
“A phenomenon? Brother Zhou, are you about to manifest an avatar!?”
Li Rong’s face was full of shock again upon noticing the shadow behind Zhou Feng.
Although Zhou Feng had shocked her countless times, Li Rong couldn’t help but widen her eyes and reveal an incredulous expression this time.
The shadow behind Zhou Feng had just appeared. It was clearly the embryonic form of the phenomenon.
Although Li Rong wasn’t very interested in cultivation before, as the noble daughter of the Li Clan, she had access to cultivation knowledge and had a clear understanding of some things.
This shadow was the embryonic form before the phenomenon was formed.
As Zhou Feng’s strength grew stronger, this shadow would become more and more solid.
In the end, it would turn into a strange phenomenon and manifest as an avatar, like Bai Wuyi’s. Once it was unleashed, its power would be terrifying.
“Oh? This is a phenomenon?”
Zhou Feng’s brows raised slightly.
This phantom was the embryonic form of a phenomenon?
If that was the case, then didn’t this mean that the more layers were added to his passive Invincible Aura, the more and more solid his phenomenon would become?
It was actually like this!
‘Other than this Invincible Aura, Soul Harvesting has also been triggered a few times…!
Compared to a few days ago, his strength could be described as having improved by leaps and bounds.
Due to his several growth-type passive skills, Zhou Feng’s power slowly increased on a daily basis.
Not to mention his physical body, just the passive Soul Harvesting was sufficient to be described as abnormal.
Zhou Feng not only had a terrifying physical body, but his soul wasn’t too far off either. An endless stream of soul power was nourishing his nascent soul.
The only pity was that he didn’t have suitable battle arts or soul-related cultivation techniques.
The Blood-Burning Technique and Spiritual Attachment Art were useless now. They were too crude and their limit was the Soul Altar realm.
After reaching the Purple Mansion realm, just a simple punch of his would be better than using them.
However, as long as he left the mystic realm…
He would be able to make a trip to the City Lord’s treasury. At that time, he could see if there were any techniques that were suitable for him.
Moreover, Zhou Feng wasn’t afraid of not finding anything good.
Don’t forget, he had the passive Appraising Eye. He could tell at a glance what item was of high value.
‘I will leave Heavenly Star City after picking something useful.’
Zhou Feng glanced at Li Rong and was a little hesitant. His sharp senses told him that there would be a great change in Heavenly Star City.
He had offended the Bai Clan, so it was best for him to stay out of the limelight. But should he tell Li Rong about his plans?
‘Leaving without saying goodbye seemed a little… Forget it!’
After hesitating for a while, Zhou Feng decided to tell Li Rong about this matter. He was not a dilettante.
“Oh right, I have something to tell you.”
Li Rong was surveilling their surroundings when he spoke, and she instantly turned her attention to him.
Her long hair that usually cascaded down her back was now tied into a long ponytail. The armor on her body only protected her vital parts, revealing large patches of snow-white skin.
The pure and lovely temperament from before had been completely worn away, replaced by a valiant aura.
Coupled with her sharp eyes, she gave off a cold and noble temperament.
Zhou Feng’s heart was as still as water, yet Li Rong’s hot figure slightly attracted him now as she stood there.
“What’s the matter?”
A trace of curiosity appeared between Li Rong’s brows because Zhou Feng’s expression was somewhat strange.
Zhou Feng had never displayed such an expression before.
“I’ll probably leave Heavenly Star City in two days.”
Li Rong fell silent.
Zhou Feng’s brows furrowed upon seeing this, and he took the initiative to explain. “I’ll be back after a while. I just have to take care of some matters.”
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to return to Heavenly Star City. He just wanted to avoid the limelight.
He would return after a while. After all, Heavenly Star City was the best place to obtain cultivation resources for the time being.
Perhaps, he would leave Heavenly Star City when his cultivation level was high and go to other places to temper himself.
Li Rong lowered her head and replied with a simple word, “Oh…”
Zhou Feng did not say anything in response.
Li Rong had helped him a lot, especially when she was under the immense pressure of her clan.
Zhou Feng knew that he could not leave without saying goodbye. Li Rong was also considered his first true friend. Some things needed to be clarified to avoid causing any misunderstandings.
However, what Zhou Feng did not know was that the corner of Li Rong’s mouth was slightly raised as she lowered her head.
‘My aunt is right! Sometimes, we can’t be too proactive!
‘Brother Zhou took the initiative to explain why he wants to leave Heavenly Star City. This means that I have a lot of weight in Brother Zhou’s heart. Otherwise, he would not have told me anything.’
The two of them did not speak, and the surroundings became quiet.
After a while…
It was time for the mystic realm to close!
The Heavenly Star in Zhou Feng’s hand was suddenly sucked away! Then, the two of them were expelled from the mystic realm.
This experiential training was over!
Zhou Feng could be said to be the biggest winner. He had broken through to the Purple Mansion realm, obtained the Malevolent Earth Qi Core, stacked many of his growth-type passive skills, and guarded the Heavenly Star successfully.
He didn’t need to worry about not having any resources to cultivate the Human Emperor Scripture for some time.
The only thing that was left now was to enter the City Lord’s treasury.
This was Zhou Feng’s god-sent fortuitous encounter!
If not for this opportunity, Zhou Feng wouldn’t have been able to break through to the Purple Mansion realm. He didn’t know how long it might have taken him to accomplish this.
How long had it taken him to shed his mortal self and reach the Purple Mansion realm? Less than a year! If the disciples of the great clans of Heavenly Star City knew that Zhou Feng had only cultivated for less than a year… their eyeballs would probably fall out.
From a mortal to the Purple Mansion realm in less than a year? Are you kidding me!?
