Chapter 87: Peak of the Xiantian Realm
In the West Wing of Holy Sun Academy, within a pink pavilion.
Qin Xue was embraced by a man, the two enjoying themselves immensely amidst the pavilions and towers.
This man was named Wei Xing, the son of a Steward at Holy Sun Academy. He possessed the strength of the Peak of the Xiantian Realm, ranked third on the Wind and Cloud List, and had a handsome appearance with sword-like brows and starry eyes, truly looking like an upright gentleman.
After Qin Xue fed Wei Xing a fruit, mouth-to-mouth, her eyes, like silken threads, fawningly said: “Senior Brother, that Qin Yefeng who harmed me will soon participate in the Holy Sun Sect’s Martial Arts Exhibition. I hope you can cooperate with Senior Student Xue Li to eliminate him in the Secret Realm of the Holy Sun Sect’s Martial Arts Exhibition.”
Liu Qian lightly lifted Qin Xue’s chin, sneering: “It’s no trouble for Xue Li and me to deal with Qin Yefeng. As long as you, this vixen, keep me well-entertained in bed, this matter is but a trifle to me.”
“Then Xue’er thanks Senior Brother here,” Qin Xue said with a smile.
Afterward, in the West Wing boudoir, amidst the pink curtains, they indulged in passionate intimacy.
………
Qin Yefeng, Xiong Yu, and Zi Baiying returned to Holy Sun Academy. Upon inquiring, they learned that only one week remained until the Holy Sun Sect’s Martial Arts Exhibition.
Subsequently, Qin Yefeng adjusted his cultivation state, spending his days in combat trials against various Students on the academy’s Battle Stage, or heading to the Back Mountain alone to cultivate the Demon God Stone.
In these past few days, Qin Yefeng also sensed a surge of cultivation fervor within the academy. Students who were usually not so diligent had now begun to study seriously.
Although these less exceptional academies could not participate in the selection for the Secret Realm of the Holy Sun Sect’s Martial Arts Exhibition, seeing those more outstanding than themselves working hard, and knowing that while they had no hope this time, it didn’t mean they wouldn’t have hope next time or the time after.
After his combat trials within the academy, Qin Yefeng rinsed off with cold water in his dormitory room, changed into clean martial artist attire, and then headed to the Back Mountain.
Qin Yefeng arrived at a place he frequently used for cultivation. It was a concave spot on a cliff face, surrounded on three sides by sheer rock walls, making it inaccessible to people. The only small path leading to this spot had been hidden by Qin Yefeng with branches.
At this moment, Qin Yefeng held a jade-white stone in his hand. When Bai Yiying Naga Sea Empress handed this stone to Qin Yefeng, she told him it was a Huang Pearl.
In the six days since Qin Yefeng returned to the academy, he had set aside time each day to refine this Demon God Stone with the Burning Heaven Dragon Flame.
The Burning Heaven Dragon Flame circulated in Qin Yefeng’s palm, enveloping the Demon God Stone. After refining the white stony substance layer by layer, a thumb-sized, nearly transparent white spherical pearl truly emerged.
From this Huang Pearl, Qin Yefeng sensed an aura similar to that within Bai Yiying Naga Sea Empress’s body. It was a strong sensation of bloodline resonance, one that only he, with his Dragon Race bloodline, could perceive.
Qin Yefeng had once handed this Huang Pearl to Xiong Yu, who only felt that the pearl was extraordinary but couldn’t sense anything else from it.
Qin Yefeng’s previous Cultivation Realm was Mid Xiantian Realm. With his Dragon Blood saturated, it was difficult for his Cultivation Realm to advance. Originally, Qin Yefeng had intended to reach the second stage of Dragon Transformation before advancing to the Peak of the Xiantian Realm.
This meant that before reaching the True Essence Realm, Qin Yefeng would be able to fully saturate his Dragon Blood and reach the Dragon Tendon Body Refinement stage.
However, in actual cultivation, Qin Yefeng discovered how difficult this truly was.
Achieving True Dragon Transformation and Evolution required two conditions to be met simultaneously: for the Dragon Blood to transform into Dragon Tendons, both the Dragon Blood within his body and his body’s Spiritual Power needed to be doubly saturated before he could transform to the next stage of Dragon Tendons.
Previously, when Qin Yefeng merged the White Lotus Flame with the Heavenly Fire Burning Heaven Dragon Flame within the Sea of Flames inside Flame Mountain, he also absorbed a vast amount of Spiritual Power, saturating the Dragon Blood within his body.
Qin Yefeng had initially thought he would soon enter the cultivation of Dragon Tendons, but the increase in Spiritual Power within his body had not yet reached the consummation stage, preventing him from advancing to the next stage of Dragon Transformation and Tendon Refinement.
This was precisely different from other Martial Artists. One must know that a Martial Artist’s body is not very strong at the beginning, and its Spiritual Power storage is not abundant. When it is about to overflow, that is when the Martial Artist’s Cultivation Realm advances.
But Qin Yefeng was not like this. With his Dragon Race bloodline, his body was incredibly powerful from the very beginning, perhaps more than ten times stronger than some Martial Artists, and his Spiritual Power storage capacity was also more than ten times theirs.
Although Qin Yefeng possessed the Burning Heaven Dragon Flame to refine Spiritual Treasures, the Spiritual Power required to advance from Mid Xiantian Realm to Peak of the Xiantian Realm was simply too immense.
“I’ll refine it for one more day today and see if it can meet the body’s need for Spiritual Power advancement.” Qin Yefeng closed his eyes, fully utilizing the Burning Heaven Dragon Flame to refine the Demon God Stone.
From this jade-white stone, Demonic Power energy was continuously refined into Dragon Power, replenishing Qin Yefeng’s body and slowly transforming into Spiritual Power to fill his Qi Sea.
“Boom!”
After an unknown period, an air fluctuation appeared around Qin Yefeng’s body, shaking loose the surrounding rock walls.
“It seems I’ve finally advanced to the Peak of the Xiantian Realm today,” Qin Yefeng clenched his fist tightly, feeling immense power within it.
He then punched the stony ground, immediately blasting a deep Black Hole several chi deep into the earth. Accompanying gusts of wind spread outwards, and layers of cracks appeared in the solid ground.
Now that his strength had reached the Peak of the Xiantian Realm, there was still a certain distance to the True Essence Realm. One must know that there was a significant divide between the Peak of the Xiantian Realm and the True Essence Realm.
Qin Yefeng had inquired and learned that among the other ten regions’ Holy Sun Academies participating in this Holy Sun Sect’s Martial Arts Exhibition, there were no fewer than three Students who had reached the True Essence Realm, and all of them were exceptionally talented.
However, Qin Yefeng had now reached the Peak of the Xiantian Realm, and with his Divine Dragon bloodline, he shouldn’t be at too much of a disadvantage against them.
The Huang Pearl in Qin Yefeng’s hand had shrunk considerably. It seemed that advancing from Mid Xiantian Realm to Peak of the Xiantian Realm had consumed a great deal of energy.
He only needed to continue refining it for a few more days to completely refine the Huang Pearl in his hand, but the remaining energy within the Huang Pearl would not be enough to provide the Dragon Power needed for him to advance to the True Essence Realm.
