Chapter 337: Memory Projection, Gong Qingqiu Takes on the Tower

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Lan Die was rapidly absorbing the spiritual energy of the Spirit Spring Water.

Ye Feng continuously poured Spirit Spring Water into the wooden barrel to ensure an ample supply of spiritual energy, his face serious, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.

The array pattern carved on the barrel was given by the System.

At first, this kind of array pattern was hidden within Lan Die’s body and after spending a thousand Prestige Points, Ye Feng learned it on the spot.

“Sect Leader, what are you doing?”

Princess, carrying a white short stick, walked over and looked into the barrel at Lan Die, hands on her hips, “I want to take a bath too!”

“I’m handling important affairs!”

Ye Feng gave her a look.

“Hmph!”

Princess arrogantly rummaged through her fox tail with her hand, pulling out a wooden barrel, filled it with Spirit Spring Water, and bathed in it as well.

Lan Die, with her eyes tightly closed and her senses sealed, was unaware of Princess’s arrival, continuously absorbing the power of the Spirit Spring Water and the purifying force emitted by the Purifying Green Lotus.

Splash!

Half an hour later, water splashed around Lan Die, a vortex of spiritual energy poured into her brow, as if breaking through some kind of hard shell, completely activating her Spirit Butterfly Reincarnation Body.

She leaped up and landed on the ground, her whole body dripping wet.

To the naked eye, a pale blue spirit butterfly mark with colorful spots had formed on Lan Die’s brow, and her entire temperament became more ethereal than before.

It was like she had transformed from a village girl into an empress.

“Wow, what a magical power!”

Lan Die extended her hands, able to see a pale blue light in her palm.

She had a feeling that as long as she placed her hand on an ordinary person’s brow, she could casually search through their memories.

“Phew, it was a success awakening at last.”

Ye Feng wiped the water stains off his forehead, looking unamusedly at Princess who was still bathing in another barrel, “You’re completely clean, why are you still bathing in there…”

“I like it!”

Princess stood up, hands on her hips, her fluffy fox tail swinging back and forth, splashing water onto Ye Feng’s face.

“Fox… demon!”

Lan Die noticed Princess and took a sharp breath.

“That’s our Misty Sect’s protector, Princess, possessing the strength of the Spirit Sea Realm,” Ye Feng explained.

“Spirit Sea Realm!” Lan Die’s gaze sharpened, “Isn’t that the same as the old Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect?”

“Old Sect Master? You mean to say that behind the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect, there really is a stronger existence?” Ye Feng’s expression changed slightly.

“Yes.” Lan Die nodded.

She placed her hands on her temples, and a beam of light sprayed from her brow, forming a three-dimensional hologram in mid-air.

In the image.

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect’s Sect Master, protector, and black-robed Elders were kneeling before a figure shrouded in black mist, appearing very respectful.

And the breath of that person was indeed of the Spirit Sea Realm!

As for the exact level of cultivation, since it was Lan Die’s memory at that time, it couldn’t be accurately displayed.

Based on the aura at that moment, Ye Feng judged that the old Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect was definitely high-ranking within the Spirit Sea Realm.

Such strength was very formidable!

“It seems the Demon-locking Tower has a complicated background indeed!”

Ye Feng felt increasingly fortunate that he had been cautious in his actions. If he had acted rashly, with the enemy hidden and himself exposed, it would have been easy to fall into a disadvantage.

“Wow, what is this?”

Princess pointed at the memory projection released by Lan Die, immediately jumped out of the barrel, her large eyes filled with curiosity.

“Memory retrieval,” Ye Feng said.

He patted Lan Die’s shoulder, and she immediately released her hands, extinguishing the memory projection.

“I’m so tired!”

After releasing the memory, Lan Die staggered, and if not for Ye Feng’s support, she would have likely collapsed on the ground.

“You haven’t officially started cultivating yet, your foundation is weak, and using your innate abilities consumes a lot, from today onwards, you will follow me in cultivation for some time,” Ye Feng said.

“Yes,” Lan Die nodded lightly.

…

Half an hour later, at Feilai Peak.

“Let me introduce a new disciple, Lan Die,”

Ye Feng pointed to Lan Die by his side and introduced her to Gong Qingqiu and the second-generation disciples present.

“Oh, a new disciple?”

“And a pretty little junior sister at that.”

At that moment, voices came from afar.

Everyone looked up to see Yan Ruyu and Jia Yulan arriving on pink flying birds, landing on Feilai Peak.

“We greet the two Senior Sisters.”

The second-generation disciples promptly clasped their fists in salute.

“No need to be so formal, we are all brothers and sisters of the same sect.” Jia Yulan waved her hand and looked at the pretty Lan Die.

“Are you all prepared to leave for your training journey, aiming for a breakthrough into the Element Gathering Realm?” Ye Feng guessed Jia Yulan and Yan Ruyu’s intentions.

“Yes.”

The two women spoke in unison.

Ye Feng nodded and said, “You are now at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, indeed it’s time to challenge the breakthrough into the next realm.”

Upon hearing that Jia Yulan and Yan Ruyu were preparing to challenge the Element Gathering Realm, envy was clear on the faces of the second-generation disciples.

Lan Die felt surprised herself.

Looking at Jia Yulan and Yan Ruyu, she realized that these two senior sisters were only slightly older than herself, yet they were already prepared to challenge the Element Gathering Realm; it was truly impressive.

“Sect Leader, do you have any advice for us?” Jia Yulan asked Ye Feng.

“As for training, I’ll accompany you.” A gentle voice came from afar.

The crowd looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Mo Ying coming on her flying sword, emitting a strong presence of the Element Gathering Realm’s third layer, exceptionally solid.

Although she had regained her looks, Mo Ying still wore a black veil and cap.

“This is your Fourth Senior Sister Mo Ying, Element Gathering third layer, a first-generation disciple, and currently the highest-cultivated disciple of our Misty Sect,” Ye Feng introduced her to Lan Die.

“So formidable!”

Lan Die was even more astonished.

Within the entire Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect, the highest-cultivated disciple was only at the level of Li Mo Huang, just at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.

Yet now in Misty Sect, there was even a top-tier genius at the third layer of the Element Gathering Realm; it was truly awesome.

“If the Sect Leader could divine my past with just a flick of his fingers, then having a genius like Senior Sister Mo seems quite natural,” Lan Die thought to herself.

“Mo Ying, being at the third layer of Element Gathering Realm, in addition to a middle-grade Spirit Sword and several auxiliary cultivation methods, has extremely strong combat power. With her around, even if you encounter enemies at the fourth or fifth layer of the Element Gathering Realm, there’s no need to fear. Your journey will be safe. However, since it is meant to be a training experience, Mo Ying, try not to take action as much as possible,” Ye Feng reminded.

“Yes.”

Mo Ying nodded.

Moments later, the three women flew on their swords toward the north.

Watching their graceful departing figures, Lan Die felt a longing.

“You can do it too, in the future.”

Ye Feng, seeing through her little thoughts, spoke to encourage her, then took Lan Die back to the Sect Leader’s Great Hall to personally teach her the “Five Qi Dynasty Yuan”.

As a new disciple whose cultivation progress had just started, Lan Die couldn’t keep up with the second-generation disciples for a while and thus required some additional instruction.

Atop Feilai Peak.

After instructing the second-generation disciples in their cultivation, Gong Qingqiu once again entered the Cultivation Tower and headed straight for the twentyfold gravity zone.

“Worthy of being an Elder, going straight for the twentyfold gravity upon arrival!”

Shi Lei, Xu Dalei, and the other disciples were dumbstruck.

Gong Qingqiu endured for half an hour without significant drain and then directly entered the Enlightenment Zone on the third layer to comprehend the Shuiyang Secret Art.

She had rich experience and her comprehension was not bad.

Initially, she had already perfected the first layer of the Shuiyang Secret Art, and later, with Ye Feng’s guidance, she had advanced to the second layer; now, she was attempting to comprehend the third layer.

If successful, her combat strength would receive a one-fold boost, or increase by a full ten stages.

Whoosh!

As Gong Qingqiu meditated, water and fire auras swirled around her, growing faster and faster until they fused into a dazzling brilliance, propelling her to perfection at the third layer.

“I’ve finally broken through!”

Gong Qingqiu took a deep breath and stepped into the Combat Zone on the fourth layer.

She chose the upper-rank difficulty and, upon entering, battled fiercely with a middle-rank War General level Crystal Spirit.

With the tenfold boost from the Shuiyang Secret Art, her combat power reached the realm of the Element Gathering Realm’s sixth layer, sweeping through her opponents almost unchallenged.

Boom!

The tenth middle-rank Demon General level spirit was blasted apart, and the high platform’s “ten” transformed into an even larger High-Rank Demon General that charged towards Gong Qingqiu.

After a fierce battle, Gong Qingqiu was defeated and left the Combat Zone.

“My strength is still not enough!”

After recovering, Gong Qingqiu continued to challenge the upper-rank difficulty stages.

This time, after slaying ten middle-rank Demon General level spirits, she quickly destroyed the crystal and successfully cleared the level.

In the fifth layer of the Cultivation Tower, the Illusionary Realm Zone.

Gong Qingqiu crossed the archway.

All around her were the ruins of Shuiyang City, with corpses strewn everywhere, along with a rampant Demon Race Army.

“It’s the scene from the day the Fox Clan attacked Shuiyang City!”

Gong Qingqiu recognized the content of the illusion and her expression changed drastically.
