Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 1357 Breakthrough to the Returning Origin Realm

Jiuhua Mountain is frequented by many tourists, and almost every temple that is easy to access is packed with pilgrims.

As dusk falls, many pilgrims descend the mountain, most of whom are from out of town and stay in Qingyang Town.

Amidst this bustling scene, none of these pilgrims realized that a massive storm was brewing over Jiuhua Mountain.

Ye Feng accompanied the four girls on a day trip around Jiuhua Mountain, climbing several peaks and visiting dozens of temples of all sizes.

By the time we returned to Qingyang Town, it was already dark.

Everyone had planned to have a banquet at Yipinzhai tonight, but now Ye Feng is so tired that his back aches, his legs cramp.

This feeling is like being a simp in your past life, accompanying your goddess shopping.

Ye Feng refused to budge an inch, no matter what.

Yun Shuang'er also said she was tired.

Therefore, only Miao Xiaorou, Shangguan Lan, and Yue Yinling went to Yipinzhai.

Back at the villa behind the Yuelai Inn, Ye Feng asked the waiter to bring hot water to Yun Shuang'er's room.

He could tell that Yun Shuang'er was very unhappy about the wishing well at Qianchen Temple today, so Ye Feng decided not to provoke her.

So after instructing the waiter to bring Yun Shuang'er bathwater, Ye Feng, feeling inspired by the magnificent scenery of Jiuhua Mountain he had witnessed that day, decided to meditate and cultivate, and locked himself in his room.

As Yun Shuang'er removed her clothes and carried San Zhi'er into the steaming bathtub, Ye Feng also began to enter a state of cultivation.

Ye Feng originally just wanted to adjust his breathing and get his body into peak condition in order to deal with the Xuan Yingzhe's plan tomorrow.

But things went counterproductive.

He has been stuck at the peak of the Divine Realm for more than half a year. During this time, his cultivation has improved rapidly. His divine soul and primordial spirit are much stronger than those of cultivators at the peak of the Divine Realm due to his cultivation of the Hundred Refinements of the Divine Soul. They have almost reached the strength of cultivators at the mid-stage of the Returning Origin Realm.

As early as when he first arrived in the capital, Ye Feng had already touched the threshold of the Returning Origin Realm.

Because he hadn't been cultivating properly during this time, and hadn't thought about breaking through to the Returning Origin Realm right now, he wanted to wait until he had dealt with those messy matters before finding an opportunity to go into seclusion and break through to the Returning Origin Realm.

However, cultivation is like life; not every step can be precisely calculated.

Whether it's true essence and spiritual power, the strength of the primordial spirit, or the comprehension of sword laws, Ye Feng has far surpassed the peak of the Divine Control realm.

Even if he doesn't deliberately try to break through to the Returning Origin Realm, everything will fall into place naturally when the time comes.

Ye Feng sat cross-legged in meditation. Not long after he began cultivating, he discovered that the eight extraordinary meridians and the sea of ​​energy in his dantian were different from before.

The dantian is like a computer's hard drive, storing a cultivator's spiritual power.

This spiritual energy is compressed and sealed in the dantian, then flows into the eight extraordinary meridians, circulating repeatedly and endlessly.

In the cultivation world, there is a cruel way to perish together with one another, which is to self-destruct one's dantian.

Because the true essence stored in the dantian is highly compressed, once the dantian explodes, it's like a heavy bomb, causing enormous destructive power.

In the past, when Ye Feng was meditating and cultivating, his mental energy would always quietly enter his dantian sea to observe the active true essence and spiritual energy churning within.

This time was different. Ye Feng clearly felt that the inner wall of his dantian sea was no longer as solid as before. Under the impact of spiritual power, it seemed to be softening.

Ye Feng was all too familiar with this feeling.

When I was cultivating in the ancestral land of the bamboo forest, every time my realm improved significantly, the first thing that would happen was the inside of my dantian sea.

The classification of cultivation levels among cultivators largely depends on the size of their dantian (energy center).

The larger the dantian sea, the more spiritual power it stores, and the stronger one's cultivation level and combat power will naturally be.

However, since the sea of ​​energy in the dantian can trap such a massive amount of compressed spiritual energy, its sturdiness is self-evident.

The process of cultivation is actually the process of continuously expanding the dantian sea, but this process is very slow.

However, there is one exception: when breaking through a realm, the indestructible inner wall of the dantian sea will quickly soften and become less hard.

The cultivator took this opportunity to continuously urge his spiritual power to impact his internal energy, causing his dantian sea to expand rapidly.

At this moment, Ye Feng felt the inside of his dantian soften. He was first taken aback, then realized that he had finally reached the Returning Origin Realm.

This is the most crucial moment. We must seize the time to impact the sea of ​​dantian and expand the sea of ​​dantian and the eight extraordinary meridians as much as possible before the sea of ​​dantian hardens again.

This requires a large amount of spiritual energy to support it.

Other cultivators would prepare a large number of Rejuvenation Pills, Spirit Gathering Pills, and Spirit Crystals before attempting to advance to the next level.

Ye Feng didn't need to do that; his black silk bracelet contained a mountain of top-grade funds, as well as a large number of Rejuvenation Pills and Spirit Gathering Pills.

When he sensed that he was about to break through, Ye Feng was excited, but he did not forget to prepare the things he needed to break through to the Returning Origin Realm.

He opened his eyes and quickly took out a pile of amethyst spirit stones from the black silk bracelet.

At the same time, he took out more than ten bottles of Rejuvenation Pills and Spirit Gathering Pills.

He swallowed nearly a hundred pills in one go, then held two large amethyst spirit stones in his hands and sat down to meditate and cultivate again.

As he activated it, nearly a hundred spirit pills rapidly transformed into spiritual energy, which quickly flowed into his dantian through his eight extraordinary meridians.

The two purple-gold coins in his hand, each weighing four or five pounds, began to emit a purple light and quickly merged into his body.

After pouring a large amount of true essence into his dantian, Ye Feng began to urge the true essence to impact the inner wall of the dantian.

Previously, no matter how much it was impacted, the sea of ​​energy in the dantian remained almost unchanged, but this time it was like melting ice and snow.

Ye Feng controlled the true essence within his dantian, which, like ocean waves, washed over the inner walls of the dantian sea again and again.

As Ye Feng's true essence surged, the interior of his dantian sea rapidly expanded outward.

However, this consumes a lot of true energy.

In particular, as the internal space of the dantian expands, the compressed true essence and spiritual power within it begins to weaken rapidly.

It's like a bottle filled with water.

The bottle, which was originally one liter, was full after being filled with one liter of water.

The space inside the bottle is now rapidly expanding, from one liter to 1.5 liters.

In that case, one liter of water wouldn't fill the bottle.

Moreover, during the impact, Ye Feng consumed a large amount of true essence and spiritual power. As a result, the spiritual energy in his dantian decreased rapidly at a visible rate.

Fortunately, Ye Feng had prepared in advance, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy from the elixir and the amethyst, which quickly entered his body.

However, this rate of replenishment still cannot make up for the rate of consumption.

Yun Shuang'er, who was taking a bath in the next room, suddenly sensed a very strong fluctuation of spiritual energy in Ye Feng's room.
