Chu Feng began to channel the esoteric energy within the Jingyuan Pool. His aura began to rapidly increase, mixed with the energy of qi, essence, and energy, it was constantly flowing into his body and being absorbed by him.
With the infusion of this overwhelming energy, Chu Feng broke through to the eighth stage of Yuanwu not long after, and then once again encountered an opportunity for further breakthrough. He continued to break through, with a burst of strength, successfully entering the ninth stage of Yuanwu.
At this moment, Chu Feng was overjoyed, because this Jingyuan Pool was truly extraordinary. If this continued, Chu Feng felt that it was possible for him to reach the realm of Xuanwu.
However, to his dismay, not long after entering the ninth stage of Yuanwu, Chu Feng was forced to discover that the overwhelming energy was gradually decreasing. Eventually, he couldn't even feel a single bit of energy.
"Huh?" Chu Feng opened his eyes and spread his spiritual energy. He found that the energy within the Jingyuan Pool had not decreased. It was as thick as before, but why couldn't he absorb it now?
"You brat, your body seems to have some special qualities," at this moment, the Blue Dragon Taoist standing by the pool spoke. In his deep gaze, there was also a sense of shock.
"Grandmaster, what do you mean?"
Chu Feng was surprised and also puzzled. What surprised him was that the Blue Dragon Taoist could actually perceive the special nature of his body. What puzzled him was that the energy within the Jingyuan Pool was still there, yet he couldn't absorb it.
"This Jingyuan Pool is very special. Although the energy within it is thick, the amount of energy that a person can absorb is limited."
"Normally, as long as the person's comprehension ability is not poor, the energy provided by this Jingyuan Pool is sufficient to allow him to advance from the first stage of Lingwu to the peak of Xuanwu."
"Of course, this depends on each person's talent. The time required varies, ranging from decades to just a few years, or even shorter."
"You brat, you are clearly the fastest at absorbing the energy within this Jingyuan Pool that I have ever seen. In the very instant just now, you consumed all the energy that others needed several years or even decades to absorb."
"Your terrifying absorption method is not just a matter of talent. Even if you have mastered the demonic cultivation, you still can't do this. So this shows that your body is very special. Special enough to automatically absorb the purest energy for your own use. I'm not wrong, am I?" The Blue Dragon Taoist smiled at Chu Feng and analyzed.
"Grandmaster is right. My disciple's body indeed has some special qualities. As long as there are abundant resources for me to use, my cultivation can grow extremely rapidly. This is why I was able to break through to this level in just one year."
"However, the higher my cultivation is, the more terrifying the resources I need become. Just as Grandmaster you said, in an instant, I absorbed the energy that others needed several decades to absorb, and the absorption was extremely pure."
"However, the energy that others could reach the peak of Xuanwu, in my case, only advanced from the seventh stage of Yuanwu to the ninth stage."
This time, Chu Feng no longer concealed anything and admitted the fact that his body was special.
Firstly, in front of the Blue Dragon Taoist, it was very difficult for him to hide anything because the other's experience was so rich that it was hard for anything to escape his notice.
Secondly, since the Blue Dragon Taoist was willing to help him improve his cultivation, Chu Feng was also hoping that this powerful cultivation of the Blue Dragon Taoist, in this Immortal Burial, could provide him with other more powerful cultivation resources. If possible, that would be even better.
"Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. In the path of martial cultivation, the most. Relying solely on consuming medicinal materials and esoteric medicines to enhance cultivation, although it can indeed significantly increase cultivation in a short period of time, it is difficult to break through the subsequent bottleneck."
"However, you are not subject to this limitation. You can freely consume cultivation resources to enhance your cultivation, without being affected. This is a benefit that others do not have." "However, to enhance your cultivation, you have to pay a much higher price than ordinary people. This is the price. As for whether this is good or bad, it's entirely up to you." The Blue Dragon Taoist smiled.
"Master, I understand." Chu Feng nodded, for he had sensed the meaning in the Blue Dragon Taoist's words.
He was telling Chu Feng that Chu Feng's special constitution could be either a good thing or a bad thing. Whether it was good or bad was entirely up to Chu Feng himself. That is to say, it all depended on Chu Feng's own ability. Implicitly, it meant that the Blue Dragon Taoist would no longer offer him cultivation resources to help him enhance his cultivation. Chu Feng had to rely on himself to do so.
"Chu Feng, as a Boundary Spirit Master, aren't you curious why I don't die even after transforming into divine consciousness?" Suddenly, the Blue Dragon Taoist asked with a smile.
"The Master has extraordinary abilities. Surely there are special methods that can allow you to remain alive and immortal." Chu Feng replied respectfully.
"Haha, remaining alive and immortal? You seem to think too highly of me. In the martial arts path, once you reach a certain level, you can indeed seize life from the heavens and increase your lifespan."
"However, that benefit can only be obtained after entering the Martial King realm. And the lifespan gained is also different depending on one's individual talent."
"Normally, a Martial King powerhouse can live a hundred more years than ordinary people. But unfortunately, I haven't reached that realm. Of course, even if I did, these two hundred years have already passed, and it's time for me to turn into dust."
"However, Chu Feng, you're right about one thing. That is, I do have special means that can keep me alive after death. To put it simply, it all depends on that one thing I found in the Emperor Burial. It was a treasure."
The Blue Dragon Taoist smiled slightly and continued walking deeper into the hall. Seeing this, Chu Feng hurried to follow. After walking five kilometers, a crystal coffin appeared in front of them. The crystal coffin was surrounded by a faint light, and inside lay a corpse.
The face of that corpse was exactly the same as that of the Blue Dragon Taoist beside Chu Feng at this moment. However, it was a physical body, not a divine consciousness. After a thousand years, the Blue Dragon Taoist's remains were still intact.
"Chu Feng, look! It's the pearl in his hand. It is that pearl that keeps his corpse intact and his divine consciousness from perishing." Dandan reminded him.
At this moment, Chu Feng also noticed that in the Blue Dragon Taoist's hand, there was indeed a pearl the size of an egg. The faint light surrounding the crystal coffin was emitted by that pearl.
"This precious pearl, although it didn't save me from dying in the Emperor Burial, it can keep my corpse intact and my divine consciousness from perishing after death. It truly is a treasure."
"However, even the most miraculous treasure cannot defy the natural order. So in another hundred years, my spiritual energy will weaken, and my body will decay. Even if special means are used to delay the process of death, it will only be a temporary reprieve."
"So, Chu Feng, the reason why I brought you here is that I actually have something to ask of you for help." Suddenly, the gaze of the Blue Dragon Daoist towards Chu Feng revealed a touch of pleading.
