At this moment, a powerful pulse of energy radiated from Jianchen's body. At this moment, the rate at which he absorbed the energy from the monster cores actually increased. As the energy from the monster cores surged out like wild horses, the dense energy gathered around Jianchen and formed a white mist visible to the naked eye. The white mist emitted a hazy light, which was extremely obvious in the pitch-black cave. It was like a lamp that illuminated Jianchen's body that was hidden in the darkness.
At the same time, all the pores on Jianchen's body suddenly opened wide. They seemed to have turned into extremely hungry children, opening their large mouths and greedily absorbing the surrounding energy that had already formed a faint white mist.
The frantic absorption of energy from his pores brought some pain to Jianchen's body. It felt like countless ants were biting him all over. The numb and itchy feeling spread to his heart, making him panic.
Jianchen sat on the ground peacefully like an old monk in meditation. He was indifferent to the numb and itchy feeling all over his body, as if he couldn't feel the pain at all. Within his body, the dense and pure energy turned into ripples of energy that gathered in his dantian. In the end, it was absorbed by the Saint Weapon floating in his dantian.
After the Saint Weapon absorbed the energy, not only did its color slowly change, even the model of the sword became clearer and clearer. The energy it contained was even more powerful than before. Moreover, as the energy was constantly absorbed by the Saint Weapon, the energy it contained was also constantly increasing.
Right now, Jianchen had reached the crucial moment of breaking through to the Saint Master level.
This scene continued for four hours before the monster core in Jianchen's hand ran out of energy once again. Afterwards, Jianchen immediately took out a few more Class 3 monster cores from his Space Belt and began cultivating again.
Time silently passed. Very soon, half a day had passed. In the pitch-black cave, Jianchen still maintained his original appearance as he cultivated. The layer of white mist completely formed from dense energy around him had already become denser and denser. The faint light it emitted also seemed to have become a bit brighter.
Right at this moment, a formless aura suddenly emitted from Jianchen's body and filled the entire cave. The aura continued to increase, and in the end, it actually gradually evolved into a gale. The gale whistled in the narrow cave, and the thick layer of dust on the ground was swept high into the air and blown in all directions.
The faint white mist completely formed from surging energy around Jianchen's body suddenly churned violently. Then, it was sucked into Jianchen's body like a whale sucking in water. In the blink of an eye, it was completely absorbed by Jianchen. At this moment, the speed at which Jianchen absorbed energy was actually several times faster than before. His strength also successfully broke through to the Saint Master level from the Great Saint level at this moment.
However, the moment Jianchen broke through, the two specks of light in his dantian actually did not continue to compete with Jianchen for energy.
Jianchen finally opened his eyes slowly. The moment he opened his eyes, a weak light shot out from his eyes and disappeared in a flash. The light was weak, but it was extremely obvious in the pitch-black cave.
Sensing the surging Saint Force within him that was several times more powerful than it had been a few days ago, an excited smile finally appeared on Jian Chen's face. Afterward, a silver-white sword suddenly appeared in his hand. The entire sword gave off a weak silver-white glow, dispersing much of the darkness nearby.
A sharp light flashed in Jianchen's eyes, and in the next moment, the silver-white light on the sword began to emit a strong Sword Qi. Immediately after, Jianchen stabbed out with the sword and a small Sword Qi escaped from the sword and shot towards the wall of the cave with lightning speed.
In the pitch-black cave, there was a flash of silver-white light. The sword Qi had already shot into the wall of the cave with lightning speed, disappearing without a sound. It only left behind an extremely small mark on the tough wall.
Jianchen's body slightly swayed and like a ghost, he appeared in front of the cave wall and stabbed the Light Wind Sword towards the wall.
"Pu!"
With a light sound, the wall of the cave seemed as fragile as tofu in front of the Light Wind Sword. The Light Wind Sword's four foot long blade had completely penetrated the wall, leaving only the hilt outside.
When the Light Wind Sword pierced the wall, Jianchen didn't feel the slightest bit of resistance. In front of the Light Wind Sword, the wall seemed even more fragile than tofu. Although Jianchen had been able to pierce the wall with the Light Wind Sword before, it definitely wasn't as easy as this.
Slowly pulling out the Light Wind Sword, Jianchen's heart was filled with confidence. Even if he were to face Tianxiong Lie again, he wouldn't be able to win, but he would definitely be able to put up a fight.
After becoming a Saint Master, Jianchen was no longer worried about being surrounded by a group of mercenaries. Even if there were Great Saint Masters amongst them, he would still be able to escape unscathed.
Sheathing the Light Wind Sword, Jianchen patted off the dust that had accumulated over the past few days. Afterwards, he lit a torch on the wall and left the cave without any reluctance.
By the time Jianchen left the cave, five days had already passed. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and it was noon.
Jianchen's eyes indifferently swept around the area. After finding a direction, he left the cave.
"I hope that the Black Panther Mercenaries won't disappoint me." Now that he had become a Saint Master, there were very few people in this small Wake City who could make him feel apprehensive. Now that he had become a Saint Master, there were very few people in this small Wake City who could make him feel apprehensive.
Jian Chen leisurely strolled through the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. This region was located on the outskirts of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, and the only things that could be found here were second or third rank Magical Beasts. If it was before, Jian Chen would have to be a bit more careful, but now, as long as he didn't encounter something like the Golden-striped Silver Snake, even a third rank Magical Beast wouldn't be able to pose the slightest threat to him.
At that moment, Jianchen's ears twitched and he suddenly stopped in his tracks. From the sound of it, he could tell that the person who was speaking was approaching him. However, because of the dense vegetation in front of him, Jianchen's line of sight was obstructed, so he couldn't see the other party.
"Harry, we've been searching here for a few days now. We've encountered quite a few Devil Beasts, but we haven't found a single person that looks like Jianchen. Do you think Jianchen is still here? Could it be that he got the news and ran away a long time ago?"
"Fiji, stop complaining. The Devil Beast Mountain Range is so big, and the terrain is so complicated. I'm sure you know how difficult it is to find a single person. Moreover, I heard that Jianchen was heavily injured. Even if he wanted to escape, he wouldn't be able to get far. Who knows, he might be hiding somewhere to heal himself."
"That's right. I'm guessing that Jianchen is hiding somewhere to heal himself and doesn't dare to come out."
"That's right. There are so many people who entered the Devil Beast Mountain Range this time. If Jianchen wasn't hiding somewhere, he would've been discovered long ago. Even if he wasn't discovered, he would've been eaten by Devil Beasts a long time ago."
"That makes sense. Let's continue our search. Even if we can't find him, we can still kill a few Devil Beasts and obtain a few magic cores to train with."
As they spoke, they pushed aside the plants in front of them, and Jianchen, who was standing in front of them, appeared in their line of sight.
At this moment, Jianchen was still dressed in animal hide, and his face was covered in dirt, obscuring his facial features.
Upon seeing Jianchen, the mercenaries were all slightly startled. At this moment, Jianchen finally saw their faces. There were seven or eight of them, all around thirty years of age. All of them were covered in dirt and grime, and their clothes were in tatters. Clearly, they had been in the Devil Beast Mountain Range for several days.
At this moment, the person in front of them stepped forward and said to Jianchen, "My friend, from the looks of it, you must have been in the Devil Beast Mountain Range for quite some time."
A strange smile appeared on Jianchen's face as he slowly said, "That's right, I have indeed been in the Devil Beast Mountain Range for quite some time."
"Then, my friend, do you know of the recent events that have occurred in Wake City?" The mercenary stared intently at Jianchen as he asked again.
Hearing this, Jianchen's face revealed a playful smile as he said, "I wonder if the events you speak of are related to a person called Jianchen?"
"Yes, that's the matter. It seems that this friend most likely entered the Devil Beast Mountain Range because of this matter. Looking at your attire, you must have entered the Devil Beast Mountain Range before the rest of us. I wonder if this friend has any news regarding Jianchen?" The mercenary quickly asked.
"News regarding Jianchen …" The smile on Jianchen's face was very strange as he slightly nodded and said, "You have asked the right person. That's right, I happen to know the whereabouts of Jianchen."
"What! You know the whereabouts of Jianchen?! "
Hearing this, the group of mercenaries were shocked, and the mercenary who asked the question had an inexplicable surprise on his face. He had casually asked this question, and he didn't expect that the person in the beast skin opposite him would give him a satisfactory answer. But he didn't expect that the truth would often be unexpected, and his casual question actually hit the nail on the head by a stroke of luck.
"This friend, may I ask where Jianchen is right now?" Immediately, one of the mercenaries impatiently asked. It seemed that in their eyes, Jianchen was a mountain of treasures. They didn't even consider whether they had the strength to deal with him.
A faint smile hung on Jianchen's face as he slowly said, "Far away on the horizon, but close at hand!" Jianchen looked at the mercenaries with a playful expression.
"A few Great Saints also want to capture me. It seems that the Tianxiong clan's bounty of ten thousand Purple Crystal Coins has gone to their heads." Jianchen secretly thought to himself.
