Chapter 1867 - 1895: Injury Recovery
Although Ye Feng had not become Elder Qinglei’s Disciple, back then Elder Qinglei had fought the fiercest to seize Ye Feng.
Ye Feng did not become his Disciple; although Elder Qinglei felt it was a great pity, it did not affect his fondness for Ye Feng. After all, Ye Feng was the only Disciple in the Green Lotus Sword Sect who had comprehended the Divine Sword’s Sword Intent.
Seeing his junior grow strong, Elder Qinglei was also very pleased in his heart. Ye Feng smiled faintly, cupped his fists, and said, "Disciple Feng Ye greets Elder Qinglei!" Elder Qinglei burst into loud laughter: "No need for so much ceremony, I’ve been waiting for you all this time, hurry in!" As his voice fell, Elder Qinglei opened the entrance to the Green Lotus Pond, and Ye Feng stepped directly into the Green Lotus Pond.
As soon as he entered the Green Lotus Pond, Ye Feng immediately sensed a faint fragrance wafting through the surroundings.
In that Green Lotus Pond, lotus flowers bloomed one after another, and the water in the pond emitted a faint silvery radiance.
Ye Feng did not hesitate in the slightest and directly leapt into the Green Lotus Pond, using the Red Water within to restore his injuries. This was Ye Feng’s greatest purpose in coming to the Green Lotus Sword Sect this time.
After Ye Feng entered the Green Lotus Pond, he instantly felt that within the pond water there was an incomparably powerful vitality surging madly into his body. Ye Feng immediately felt every cell in his body become active. He began directly absorbing the pond water of the Green Lotus Pond, helping himself repair his injuries.
At the same time, Ye Feng circulated his Slaughter Heaven Battle Technique; at once True Essence surged, and a whirlpool formed directly around Ye Feng. His entire person stood at the very center of the vortex as the pond water of the Green Lotus Pond continuously poured into his body.
Ye Feng felt his wounds actually begin to rapidly heal. The meridians within his body that had originally withered were quickly being restored, and the cells in his body that had already died were gradually reviving, slowly regaining vitality.
One after another, tremendous waves of air blasted out from Ye Feng’s body, stirring up an extremely great commotion.
Outside the Green Lotus Pond, doubt appeared in Elder Qinglei’s eyes: "This brat actually caused such a huge disturbance. I wonder how many realms his cultivation will rise after he comes out..."
At this moment, Ye Feng was within the Green Lotus Pond, continuously repairing his injuries as time flew by in a hurry.
Very soon, twenty days had passed, and at this time Ye Feng’s body was emitting a faint black-gold radiance. At this moment, the hidden injuries within Ye Feng had been completely healed. Not only that, even his Burning Sky Annihilation Body had been enhanced, directly charging into the second layer. At this time, Ye Feng’s physical body had already surpassed ordinary Sanctum Ascension Realm experts.
However, the lifespan that Ye Feng had already burned and consumed still had not recovered; only a few years of lifespan remained.
Only after Ye Feng’s cultivation increased further could he continue to extend his lifespan. Ye Feng rapidly absorbed the pond water of the Green Lotus Pond, and then the pond water gradually surged into Ye Feng’s body.
It transformed into a vast and thick power that was continuously drawn out by Ye Feng. As time hastily passed, the True Essence accumulated within Ye Feng’s body grew more and more. Very soon, the time since Ye Feng had entered the Green Lotus Pond was already close to a full month.
Now there was less than an hour left before the time for Ye Feng to come out of the Green Lotus Pond.
"Boom!" A powerful wave of qi erupted, and then Ye Feng’s aura instantly skyrocketed, climbing step by step. Finally, in that instant, Ye Feng’s cultivation successfully broke through. With the help of the pond water in the Green Lotus Pond, he successfully raised his cultivation from the Proof of Dao early stage to the Proof of Dao middle stage. Not only that, his lifespan was also extended.
From Proof of Dao early stage to Proof of Dao middle stage, Ye Feng’s lifespan had increased by six hundred years.
Of course, a mere six hundred years of lifespan was still far from enough for Ye Feng. If he encountered some invincible expert he could not handle, he would have to burn his lifespan to unleash the power of the Heavenly Mirror and the Heaven Slaying Sword.
And a mere six hundred years, once burned, would not be able to grant Ye Feng too much of an increase in combat strength.
However, the successful recovery of his injuries did make Ye Feng feel much more relaxed. Of course, although Ye Feng had now advanced to the Proof of Dao middle stage, he could no longer achieve combat strength Super Four, slaughtering ordinary Half-step into Saint Realm experts.
Because between Proof of Dao Great Perfection and Sanctum Ascension early stage, although it seems there is only a small minor level difference, that small difference is like an enormous chasm. Even the gap between Semi-Saint and Proof of Dao Great Perfection is extremely great.
For example, even among Proof of Dao Great Perfection experts there are distinctions. Ordinary Proof of Dao Great Perfection and top-tier Proof of Dao Great Perfection differ, and when experts of the Dao Sect break through to Proof of Dao Great Perfection, they are considered top-tier Proof of Dao Great Perfection.
Only after that comes the Half-step into Saint Realm. So at this moment Ye Feng could no longer achieve combat strength Super Four. Without using the Heaven Slaying Sword and the Heavenly Mirror, or unleashing the power of the Sky Battle Armor, Ye Feng could only instantly kill experts at Proof of Dao Great Perfection.
If he wanted to defeat a Half-step Saint Realm, then he would have to raise his cultivation to the late stage of Proof of Dao.
If Ye Feng wanted to easily defeat a Sanctum Ascension early stage expert, his cultivation would at least need to reach the peak of Proof of Dao.
Ye Feng estimated that if he entered the Sanctum Ascension Realm, at most his combat strength would only be Super Three, and even Super Three would be somewhat forced; perhaps he could only reach combat strength Super Two.
And among all the Sanctum Ascension Realm experts in the Cangxuan Realm, there was not a single person who could attain combat strength Super Two.
After breaking through to the Proof of Dao middle stage, Ye Feng needed to stabilize his realm. At this time there was still the power of one Dragon Pill in Ye Feng’s body that had not been refined. If he refined it, Ye Feng could rapidly break through to the peak of Proof of Dao.
After that, Ye Feng took out many Peace of Mind Pills from his Execution God Ring and swallowed them directly, helping himself stabilize his foundation. Once his foundation was stabilized, Ye Feng would refine the power of the Dragon Pill and break through his cultivation.
Very soon, the month was up, and outside the Green Lotus Pond Elder Qinglei shouted loudly, "Feng Ye, time’s up!"
