Capítulo 2137: Chapter 2404: Setting Foot on Pilgrimage Mountain!
“Continuing like this won’t work!”
Ren Feifan’s gaze fell upon the little sapling in the mystical space!
“Little Sapling, give me some star power!”
The little sapling seemed to understand Ren Feifan’s words, gently swaying, as strands of starlight emerged from its body, softly enveloping the Bow of the Saint Moon.
The restless feeling gradually subsided.
“It’s now!”
Ren Feifan’s fingertip gathered a drop of essence blood, which was abruptly slapped onto the Bow of the Saint Moon.
The essence blood was instantly absorbed by the Bow of the Saint Moon, yet a fiercely strong backlash force unexpectedly overflowed from Ren Feifan’s body.
“It’s still struggling!”
Ren Feifan closed his eyes, mind and spirit united, holding onto his primordial spirit, his heart like a rock, unmoved by the eight winds.
At this moment, his temperament had to be strong, devoid of any hint of fear! Otherwise, the intense pain could easily cause Ren Feifan to lose control and burst, dying.
His face twisted in agony from the excruciating pain, the pallor conspicuous, devoid of the slightest color.
Continuous heart-rending screams emerged, as Ren Feifan howled like a beast. His face entirely twisted, hideously grim, making anyone who saw it feel terribly startled.
Despite his body refinement being at the Eighth Bound, under such an energy impact, it was difficult to endure! The restructuring of muscles and flesh was a pain beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
If it were any ordinary cultivator, even at the God Monarch Realm or Semi-Saint Realm, they would be torn apart by this backlash force on the spot!
It’s unknown how much time had passed, Ren Feifan was thoroughly soaked, and the pain had completely vanished.
The glow of the Bow of the Saint Moon was no more, seemingly returning to silence.
Ren Feifan opened his eyes, slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air.
He did not look at the Bow of the Saint Moon first. Instead, he started observing his own body.
Because the backlash from the Bow of the Saint Moon had even impacted his Body Refinement at the Eighth Bound!
To advance in body refinement, the body must withstand extraordinarily high pressure and pain.
Yet, after the Eighth Bound, the physical pressure becomes too little, but the backlash from the Bow of the Saint Moon was indeed a great nourishment for body refinement.
Ren Feifan could clearly feel that his body refinement had touched the threshold.
This feeling was faint, yet for him, it was a massive progression!
“When I reach the Ninth Bound in body refinement, a return to unity, will I fear no strong opponent anymore?”
Ren Feifan indulged in a moment of satisfaction in his heart.
Just then, the elder poured cold water on him: “You think the perfect Ninth Bound in body refinement is the end? Hehe, it can only be said your understanding is too shallow!”
Ren Feifan froze for a moment, lifting his head to look at the elder: “Are there further realms beyond that? Is the Ninth Bound in body refinement not the end?”
The elder clasped his hands behind his back and said, “When you break through to the Ninth Bound in body refinement, you will naturally comprehend.
However, you are somewhat special. I suppose you may be the first on the whole Azure Planet to grasp star power in body refinement.
I’ve heard of cultivators mastering star power but never of body refiners mastering stars.
If your body refinement and star power combine, coalescing into a star body, then things might get interesting.”
Ren Feifan furrowed his brows slightly: “Star body?”
He asked the elder a few more questions, but the elder apparently had no intention to reply further. Without hesitation, Ren Feifan turned his attention to the Bow of the Saint Moon, feeling the immense power contained within.
He directly placed it into the mystical space and subsequently restored the energy of the Soul-Devouring Golden Needle in the small world.
Ren Feifan was surprised that the elder in the small world did not mention the sect leader’s mental method again.
After accomplishing all this, Ren Feifan then left the small world. It was time to depart for Pilgrimage Mountain.
Before leaving, to prevent the Punishing Gods Alliance from causing trouble again at the Saint Doctor’s Peak, Ren Feifan enhanced a powerful formation!
This formation not only bears a powerful killing array to block external foes, but also condenses a drop of his essence blood, making it impossible for the Punishing Gods Alliance’s strong practitioners to break it anytime soon.
Moreover, he took Dragon Maiden along on this journey for a major advantage, which is that if anything happens at the Saint Doctor’s Peak, Dragon Maiden can rip open a void directly to return.
Therefore, he wasn’t too worried about Saint Doctor’s Gate.
With Leng Qingqiu, Luo Yin, and the ancient Kylin present, the sect wasn’t likely to encounter troubles during his absence.
“Brother Feifan, in which direction is Pilgrimage Mountain, tell me, and we will tear open space to go directly. But if the distance is too far, it might not be possible.” Dragon Maiden said.
Ren Feifan glanced at Dragon Maiden, and his entire being froze.
What was this girl up to?
Dragon Maiden was wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses, topped with a sunhat, and was dressed quite fashionably, with a small bag around her waist.
She looked like she was going on a vacation!
“Dragon Maiden, change your clothes, what are you doing like this…”
“Brother Feifan, why are you looking at me like that? I am going out for you. Out there, I represent the prestige of Saint Gate. Do you want others to look down on Saint Gate?”
“Alright, alright, just like this then.” Ren Feifan was truly worn out by Dragon Maiden.
He took out a map, glanced at the location of Pilgrimage Mountain, which was even farther than North State, and then marked a point on the map: “Let’s go to this place first. We definitely can’t reach it all at once; once we’re there, we’ll continue on foot, taking at most just a day.”
“Alright.”
Dragon Maiden nodded, and then both of her hands surged with space law, forcibly tearing open an opening.
“Brother Feifan, let’s go!”
Ren Feifan didn’t hesitate, stepping directly through the opening.
Dragon Maiden also leapt in.
The spatial opening abruptly closed, everything returned to silence.
…
Wind Solidifying City is one hundred miles away from Pilgrimage Mountain.
It’s desolate and barren, full of endless dangers.
Only because Pilgrimage Mountain absorbs all the spiritual energy within a hundred miles!
Extremely domineering!
There used to be countless sects around Pilgrimage Mountain, but due to its emergence, all surrounding balance was entirely disrupted.
In the eyes of Hidden Gate cultivators, Wind Solidifying City is one of those regions forgotten and abandoned!
This area borders the depths of Hidden Gate Plains, with Monster Beasts rampant, crises incessant, and most cultivators would not pass through here.
Yet, it is precisely in such a place rejected by so many that two figures, one bigger and one smaller, appear.
It was Ren Feifan and Dragon Maiden.
Ren Feifan stood at the crossroads with the map in hand, greeted by a dark atmosphere! The wind howled incessantly past his ears, making one shiver despite the scorching summer.
The violent wind emitted a roaring sound straight from the west, bringing the savageness and brutality from the Howling Plains, yet there were no mountains or forests to even slightly hinder its biting gusts! This gorge lay wide open without any obstruction.
“Damn, I always assumed Wind Solidifying City should be a bustling place on the map, who knew it would be so desolate! Not only is there not a single person, but even the spiritual energy is absent!”
Ren Feifan was completely resigned.
Dragon Maiden popped a lollipop into her mouth, her eyes devoid of any emotion, and looked up at Ren Feifan: “Brother Feifan, don’t think of relying on me. After spanning such a long distance, I at least need a few days’ rest. Next, either walk on foot, or find a place to rest; when I recover, I’ll take you to Pilgrimage Mountain. Personally, my suggestion is the former for maximum efficiency.”
The sound of Dragon Maiden’s voice next to him brought Ren Feifan back to reality as he looked at the endless plains with a long sigh: “Alright, let’s keep going, having arrived at this damned place, we’ve got no other choice.”
