Feiyun meditated near the stomach of the bright golden Buddha inside the great hall .
His body turned into a maelstrom with 360 meridians fully open to absorb the Buddhist essences .
It sounded like a cauldron with loud clanking noises and Buddhist hymns .
“Boom!” He absorbed four more strands and became radiant . He broke through the early level all the way to the intermediate level . His absorption speed became even faster as a result .
Each strand of essence was as immense as a mountain, containing deep Buddhist intent and laws from the various Enlightened Beings .
Just absorbing one should be enough to increase a few levels for weaker Heaven’s Mandate cultivators .
Feiyun’s physique and talents were superior compared to others . However, this made it harder for him to break through and required more resources . That’s why four strands only increased his cultivation by one level, and it would get even harder later on .
“Boom!” One of Feiyun’s bones in his right hand became red just like a fiery ruby .
The fourth phoenix bone has taken form .
Heart bone, wisdom bone, ocular bone, and now this bone in his right hand - four total . They looked like four stars or four eternal lamps .
One could see the faint image of a phoenix floating and screeching continuously .
His physique has improved and became stronger again . Buddhist light inside and a fiery glow outside - this looked to be the form of an invincible avatar .
“Boom!” A similar bone in his left hand turned into a phoenix bone as well . This eliminated the evil energy from Yama’s hand .
“Boom! Boom!” Both of his ankles also lit up, experiencing the same transformation .
These were the sixth and seventh phoenix bone .
“Boom!” An ultimate aura erupted around him . The seven bones connected to form their own domain .
A fiery flood originated from the heart bone reached the ocular bone then moved again to the wisdom bone on his forehead . Next, it flowed down to his right hand, his right ankle, his left ankle, his left hand, then back to the heart bone .
This was the simplest minor loop of the Immortal Phoenix Physique - a sign of reaching minor completion .
From now on, the demonic energy of a phoenix would always be present in his body . He didn’t need to cultivate any longer yet could still grow stronger .
Normally, a minor loop of this physique only consisted of the heart, wisdom, and the four limb bones - six in total .
Feiyun was different . He obtained an ocular bone from Bronze Cauldron . This made his rotation consist of seven bones .
The heart bone was the leading transmitter .
The wisdom bone served as the central hub .
The ocular bone became the gate .
The four limb bones were auxiliaries .
This resulted in a perfect loop, pushing his physical strength to the next level .
Feiyun would have a hard time assessing his battle potential . After all, no known human has cultivated the top merit law of the demonic race . The result should be different from a regular phoenix . He needed to fight in order to figure out the equivalent cultivation realm .
He had absorbed forty-eight strands so far after finishing this minor loop . From this, one could see the insane amount of resources needed to create the phoenix bones . Each required around twelve strands on average .
As his physique improved, so did his cultivation . The latter wasn’t as impressive since he became stuck at the peak eighth level .
This was his first time experiencing an actual bottleneck . He quickly found out the reason why - the Golden Silkworm Scripture . If he wasn’t cultivating this, perhaps he would be at the ninth level right now .
Cultivating a top sacred scripture had its advantages and disadvantages .
The second diagram, Young Silkworm, had 18,000 transformations . He had only understood 300 .
His main energy was the golden one from this scripture so it became his limitation . Otherwise, his improvement in his physique should have been enough to bring him to the early ninth level .
On the other hand, this energy wouldn’t be as pure without the scripture .
There were always two sides to everything - good and bad .
Nonetheless, he had already made up his mind when choosing to cultivate the scripture - dual cultivation .
Only finding this balance would allow him to reach the saint level . Just cultivating the phoenix physique meant possibly being stuck at the ninth level of Heaven’s Emergence again .
In short, cultivating Golden Silkworm meant a slower cultivation speed but far better long-term .
“I have to maintain a balance . My physique is far ahead of my dantian cultivation right now . I need to focus on the scripture . Just need to learn more and my cultivation realm will naturally increase . ” Feiyun stopped and opened his eyes .
The yellow river was still floating around him . The essences felt as abundant as before .
“How long have I been cultivating?” He asked .
“Thirty-four days . ” Liu Ruixin woke up and yawned . She sat on a broken praying mat, still drowsy .
She was pretty excited after seeing him awake . Her eyes opened wide as she flew over and grabbed his arm .
“What are you doing?” Feiyun thought that this brat was up to no good .
Ruixin used to be at the third level . Now, she was at the peak fifth level, only one step away from becoming a half-step .
Moreover, these essences have improved her physique and even left behind marks of Enlightened Buddhas .
This made her far more talented than before, perhaps giving her a higher chance of becoming an Enlightened Being .
This still remained difficult . Many historical geniuses might not be able to reach Nirvana . Her innate talents weren’t exceptional either . This only gave her one sliver of hope in doing so .
“Feng Feiyun, we’re considered friends, right? We’ve gone through so much together…” She asked with anticipation .
“False, we’re not that close . Also, address me as Young Noble Yi Zhenfeng . ” Feiyun smiled .
Ruixin felt the urge to bite his arm but restrained herself . She suddenly became teary and pouted: “I’m the daughter of White Moon Messenger, a senior sister of the young generation in Sun Moon, but now, I’m captured by a pervert and lost all face . I probably can’t get married later since no one will want me . A certain someone ruined my life for their own benefits and actually has the audacity to put on an act . I demand compensation . ”
“Haha, so that’s what you want . I can’t give the bottle to you though, your sect can’t handle the Yin Mother . ” Feiyun knew that this girl was fake crying but still decided to console her by stroking her head .
“I don’t want that bottle… all I’m asking for is a little of that Buddhist energy, just one tiny… pond, okay?” Ruixin bit her lips and looked very pitiful with her bright, sad eyes .
“Pop!” Feiyun knocked her head and laughed: “A pond? You’re too greedy . ”
“Okay, fine, not a pond, just one bucket will do . ” She rubbed the spot where she got hit, feeling a little sore .
“You don’t have a bucket anyway to keep it right now . How about this? Be a good maid, serve me tea, make me food, wash my clothes, massage too, then I can give you one strand each year . That’s your salary . ” Feiyun posed with both hands behind his back while arching his chest, acting like an old rich man negotiating the price of a maid .
“Only one strand per year?! I’ve never seen someone as stingy as you before!”
“This is for your own good . The Buddhist essences can increase your cultivation but there are negative side effects . Your cultivation is improving but not your mentality and mind, resulting in instability . It’s the same as a talisman with increased power but not its innate quality . After reaching a certain level, the paper itself wouldn’t be able to handle this power and explode . The same with you, your foundation isn’t solid enough . I’m delaying it by one year so that you have time to carefully consolidate and accumulate, it’s better for you . ” He shook his head and explained .
Not just anyone can dual cultivate like him and didn’t need to worry about self-imploding . Plus, he had the frame of mind of a ninth level Heaven’s Emergence cultivator already .
