"What's happening? Does opening the Spirit Sea take this long?"
Using Internal Vision, Ye Feng looked at the vast ocean-like Spirit Sea condensed from Spiritual Qi within his body. It had clearly taken shape, yet the process hadn't ended, which puzzled him greatly.
Hm?
Just then, Ye Feng finally noticed something strange: the Spiritual Qi within his Spirit Sea suddenly grew stronger. If the power of the Spiritual Qi in his Spirit Sea was 1 before, it had now reached 2.
"This... how is this possible!"
"Forget opening the Spirit Sea, how did he also break through to the second level of the Spirit Sea Realm!"
Elder Bai, standing aside, sensed the aura of a breakthrough erupting from Ye Feng's body. His eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets in shock.
Opening the Spirit Sea was equivalent to building one's Foundation. This was extremely important for any cultivator.
It not only required a quiet environment but also auxiliary pills to exert one's utmost effort to open the Spirit Sea to its maximum extent. Furthermore, after successfully opening the Spirit Sea, one needed to spend some time stabilizing it.
... ...
He had truly never seen a situation like Ye Feng's. Opening the Spirit Sea just happened when he said it would, the scene itself was extraordinary, and forget succeeding, he didn't even stabilize his realm but directly broke through to the second level of the Spirit Sea Realm!
Ten meters!
A hundred meters!
A thousand meters!
Initially, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi fluctuations were contained within a dozen meters. Now, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within nearly a thousand meters began to fluctuate violently, then surged madly towards Ye Feng's body.
"What's going on!"
"Can someone tell me what on earth is going on!"
Feeling the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a thousand-meter radius completely destabilize, Elder Bai felt numb!
Third Level Spirit Sea Realm!
Fourth Level Spirit Sea Realm!
Fifth Level Spirit Sea Realm!
Auras of breakthroughs continuously erupted from Ye Feng's body. As the speed of the breakthroughs increased, the range of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi fluctuations began to expand again.
Ten minutes later.
As Ye Feng smoothly broke through to the Peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi fluctuations, which had spread over several thousand meters, gradually calmed down.
"Ten minutes!"
"I'm a man with a System! Consuming Prodigal Points to break through to the Peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm actually took ten minutes? Shouldn't it have been completed in an instant?"
Thinking this, Ye Feng showed an embarrassed expression as he looked at the already dumbfounded Elder Bai and said, "Elder Bai, opening the Spirit Sea and breaking through to the Peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm actually took me ten minutes. If Master finds out, will she think I'm Trash?"
???
Trash?
You freaking call yourself Trash?
Be a human! If you're Trash, then what does that make us?
Hearing this, Elder Bai stared at Ye Feng, speechless for a long time. What could he say? That back in his day, with ample cultivation resources, it only took him eight months to break through to the Peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm?
Moreover, that was under the premise of having a powerful Cultivation Method and guidance from strong cultivators.
Phew!
Taking a deep breath, Elder Bai looked at Ye Feng with a smile, "No wonder you don't need the sect's Cultivation Method. It turns out you possess a powerful Cultivation Method yourself."
After speaking, Elder Bai became extremely curious about Ye Feng's Cultivation Method. What kind of heaven-defying Cultivation Method could allow someone to successfully open their Spirit Sea in such a short time and break through unimpeded to the Peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm?
"What Cultivation Method?"
"I don't have a Cultivation Method. I don't even have a Spirit Root right now. I can't even sense the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around me."
However, hearing Elder Bai's words, Ye Feng voiced his confusion.
"Impossible!"
Hearing this, Elder Bai's expression changed drastically, and he immediately placed his hand on Ye Feng's forehead.
His vast Divine Sense rapidly scanned Ye Feng's body.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
A moment later, Elder Bai staggered back several steps. He looked at the innocent-faced Ye Feng as if looking at a monster, his eyes filled with an unbelievable expression.
No Spirit Root!
He really doesn't have a Spirit Root! In this situation, it should be impossible for him to sense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, let alone circulate a Cultivation Method to absorb it for cultivation!
But, under these bizarre circumstances, not only did he successfully open his Spirit Sea, he freaking whoosh-whoosh-whooshed his way to the Peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm! If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe such an appalling thing could happen in the world, even if beaten to death!
Moreover, was that even a Spirit Sea he opened?
That was practically a vast, oceanic Spirit Sea!
One must know, the Spirit Sea Luo Qianxue opened was more than twenty times larger than that of a normal cultivator. At that time, even the Old Ancestor was alarmed. But the oceanic Spirit Sea Ye Feng opened was about twenty times larger than Luo Qianxue's! What kind of concept was that? It was equivalent to four hundred times the size of a normal cultivator's Spirit Sea!
Gulp!
Thinking of this, even Elder Bai couldn't help but swallow hard. Looking at the harmless-looking Ye Feng, he felt truly crushed.
"Let's go. It's better to let your Master take a look at your situation herself."
If you can't figure it out, pass the buck![1]
Elder Bai's thought process was simple. He wasn't his disciple anyway. Let his Young Miss worry about such a bizarre matter.
A few minutes later.
"Elder Bai, what took you so long?"
Luo Qianxue, who had been waiting at the peak for a long time, saw Elder Bai and Ye Feng finally arriving. She was furious inside. All this time wasted! Wouldn't it be better spent cultivating?
"Miss, your precious disciple just had a bit of a breakthrough down below. Not only is the Spirit Sea he opened more than twenty times larger than yours, but he also conveniently broke through to the Peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm."
"Oh right, he doesn't have a Spirit Root in his body. If nothing unexpected happened, he shouldn't have been able to step onto the path of cultivation at all."
After speaking, Elder Bai walked directly towards the sect buildings ahead. This place wasn't truly empty; the Sect-Protecting Grand Formation, Sect Main Hall, Outer Sect Disciple residences, Cultivation Field, Inner Sect Disciple residences, etc., were all present and accounted for.
Hm?
Hearing Elder Bai's words, Luo Qianxue frowned slightly and immediately checked Ye Feng's condition.
When she saw the vast oceanic Spirit Sea within Ye Feng's body, even she couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.
"Ye Feng, you don't even have a Spirit Root. How did you open your Spirit Sea and break through?"
After the shock, Luo Qianxue looked at Ye Feng with eyes full of curiosity and asked. Even her Master in the Upper Realm probably couldn't explain this situation.
"The Full Moon Sect has come to pay a visit! May the Sect Master of the Star Soul Sect please come out and meet us!"
Just then, an extremely arrogant voice came from below the peak.
Soon, a black-robed elder leading three young men walked up the mountain path.
"Why have you come?"
Seeing the visitors, Luo Qianxue asked directly, her expression unfriendly.
Having an inexplicably strange disciple was troublesome enough. Now, people from another sect had arrived. How could she possibly cultivate in peace?
"You are the Star Soul Sect Master, Luo Qianxue?"
"According to those people we met earlier, joining your Star Soul Sect actually requires handing over ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones? That truly broadened this old man's horizons."
"This time, this old man has brought sect disciples here precisely to Spar with your esteemed sect's disciples."
The black-robed elder looked at Luo Qianxue provocatively and stated his purpose directly.
