The answer was obvious: Battle experience!
Over the past few months, Zhao Feng had been in seclusion for too long and he had reached a bottleneck in every aspect.
Only through battle would he be able to refine himself and squeeze out more potential.
This was also why everyone's cultivation had increased so quickly in the Floating Crest Trial.
Of course.
There was still 20 days left and even if there was a chance for battle, Zhao Feng couldn't guarantee that he would be able to break through.
But he was sure that if he continued to cultivate, he wouldn't be able to make much progress in the remaining time.
Therefore.
Without hesitation, Zhao Feng chose to go out to train.
Zhao Feng wasn't the only one who thought of this. Bei Moi and Lin Fan also left the Clan and went out to train under the guise of carrying out a mission.
Zhao Feng also went to the Central Division and accepted a mission.
The goal of the mission was to obtain the crown of a bird called the Two Headed Silver Crowned Bird from the Sky Cloud Forest.
The difficulty of this mission was between the 6th and 7th rank.
Usually, 2-3 members at the 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm were needed to work together to ensure their safety.
The Two Headed Silver Crowned Bird was an overlord of flying beasts. Adding on the fact that it had 2 heads, it was stronger than those at the 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm.
If it was a normal disciple, the Central Division definitely wouldn't accept the mission.
But considering the monstrous Zhao Feng, Vice Head Li approved it.
From his point of view, even if Zhao Feng couldn't complete the mission, he would be able to escape unscathed. Furthermore, Zhao Feng was a powerful archer and he was suitable to deal with flying beasts.
"That's right, the materials you gave out before have all been collected. But the primal crystal stones are almost all used up. "
Vice Head Li reminded.
So fast?
Zhao Feng was slightly surprised. He had given out a few hundred thousand substandard primal crystal stones for this mission.
After obtaining the materials, 90% of the primal crystal stones in Zhao Feng's interspatial bracelet were used up.
Miao miao!
The little thieving cat jumped out and protested.
Zhao Feng had an agreement with the little thieving cat that he would give it two hundred substandard primal crystal stones worth of "cat food" every month.
Correspondingly, the little thieving cat wouldn't touch anything else in the storage bracelet.
But now that ninety percent of the primal crystal stones in the bracelet had been used up, the little thieving cat started to feel uneasy.
Logically speaking, Zhao Feng should not be facing a financial crisis since he had obtained a huge benefit from the trial.
But the source of the financial crisis was the materials for the Dark Shadow Cloak.
Many of these materials were priceless, even more valuable than ordinary Divine Weapons.
Moreover, the gathering of materials was in the form of issuing missions. Other people would run errands for you and even bear the risk. The rewards for the missions would definitely be great.
Secondly, Zhao Feng's cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds. He had squandered his resources lavishly, including the support he gave to Yang Qingshan and his two Senior Brothers.
Right now.
Zhao Feng still had more than a thousand Primordial Crystal Stones, which was equivalent to more than a hundred thousand Subgrade Primordial Crystal Stones.
"There are gains and losses."
Zhao Feng put away the materials for repairing the Dark Shadow Cloak but he didn't regret it.
The Dark Shadow Cloak was an Inheritance treasure that would grow with its owner. If it could be repaired, its power would definitely increase.
Let's go.
After accepting the mission, Zhao Feng quickly left the sect and headed towards the depths of the Sky Cloud Forest.
His main purpose for going out was to train in actual combat, followed by carrying out missions. Even if he couldn't complete the mission, he would at most lose some contribution points.
"Which direction should I go?"
Zhao Feng squinted his eyes.
The Sky Cloud Forest was too big and passed through thirteen countries. There were many unsolved mysteries in the depths of the forest and there were even forbidden areas that even those at the True Spirit Realm didn't dare to enter.
"Miao miao!"
The little thieving cat appeared and spat out an old bronze coin.
The coin flipped in the air before landing in the little thieving cat's paw.
The little thieving cat had a confident expression. It was like a god as it pointed in a certain direction with its paw.
"Fine."
Zhao Feng doubtfully flew in the direction the little thieving cat pointed.
On the way, the cry of an eagle appeared in the air which made all the nearby deadly beasts tremble.
Hmm?
Zhao Feng raised his head and saw a 'Golden Feathered Eagle' flying through the air. Judging from its aura, it had reached the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm.
This was a flying beast and it was suitable for transportation.
"Come down."
Zhao Feng's voice was filled with enticement that pierced through the mental energy dimension.
The Golden Feathered Eagle spread its wings and slowly landed on the ground, appearing very obedient.
Zhao Feng nodded his head and sat on the eagle's back.
At this moment, his comprehension of the Mind Control Art was not much inferior to that of the Man in Bamboo Hat, so it was easy for him to control a flying demonic beast.
The Golden Feathered Eagle carried the human and cat towards the depths of the Sky Cloud Forest.
Half an hour later.
A river appeared in front of them and on the other side was a small canyon.
"Hmm? It's here? "
Zhao Feng confirmed that this was the canyon he had been to before.
Back then, he had been forced into desperate straits, forced into the Blood Python's cave while two high-tier vicious beasts were fighting each other.
Later on, Ran Xiaoyuan and the other disciples of the Clan had come and killed the Azure Head Wolf King, allowing Zhao Feng to escape.
Today, Lin Yun came to the Blood Python Valley again. There was a high-tier ferocious beast that was stronger than the Azure Wolf King from back then.
However, the Golden Feathered Eagle that Zhao Feng sat on had reached the level of a Yao beast, the Lord tier deadly beast in the eyes of the world. The high tier deadly beast was trembling.
Zhao Feng couldn't help but sigh. A year ago, he couldn't even protect his life.
But today, the high tier deadly beast was no different from an ant in front of him.
Ignoring the high tier deadly beast, Zhao Feng told the Golden Feathered Eagle to slow down. According to the little thieving cat's divination, they should be arriving at their destination soon.
After a while, the forest ahead became even more serene, and there was a strange aura in the air.
Occasionally, a few beasts would jump out from the forest.
Zhao Feng looked down from above and used his mental energy sound wave to kill normal beasts with one roar. Even some of the beasts with thick skin and strong defense would collapse and run away in fear after being hit by the mental energy sound wave technique.
The deeper they went, the greater the resistance Zhao Feng faced.
An aura that made Zhao Feng feel uneasy came from the distance.
He was sure that there were beasts at the 7th Sky or higher in the depths of the forest. Only existences at this level could threaten Zhao Feng.
Miao miao!
The little thieving cat threw out the bronze coin and pointed forward.
Zhao Feng nodded his head and released the Golden Feathered Eagle. Under the cover of the Yin Shadow Cloak, he landed in the depths of the forest and hid his aura to the maximum.
Under the cover of the Yin Shadow Cloak, the beasts in the depths of the forest weren't able to sense Zhao Feng's existence.
The auras of the beasts in the depths of the forest became stronger and stronger. They were all at the 5th Sky or higher.
Zhao Feng suspected that the depths of the forest was the main camp of the beasts.
On the way, Zhao Feng even met a few beasts at the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm. Even with the cover of the Yin Shadow Cloak, the beasts seemed to sense him when he got close and looked around cautiously.
Although Zhao Feng knew that even if he met a beast at the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm, he could at least protect himself, this forest was extremely weird.
However, this forest was extremely weird and there were countless powerful beasts here. Those under the True Spirit Realm would most likely die if they were to fall into it.
After a few long hours, Zhao Feng finally passed through the most dangerous part of the forest.
On the way, he met more than twenty beasts at the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm and some of them were even comparable to those at the half-step True Spirit Realm. Their terrifying auras made it hard for Zhao Feng to breathe.
Those at the half-step True Spirit Realm were equivalent to half a True Spirit Realm and far surpassed those at the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm.
At this point in time, the forest became misty and the color of the mist was similar to the forest. It was as if the forest had formed a natural barrier.
Zhao Feng instantly lost his sense of direction when he entered the Misty Forest.
No wonder this place was filled with the air of death and there wasn't a single person alive.
Wherever Zhao Feng walked, bones would appear under his feet, and a cold and eerie air of Death would make one shiver.
"Most people who enter this place won't be able to return, even if they're at the half-step True Spirit Realm."
Zhao Feng took a deep breath.
Luckily, he had his left eye which allowed him to see through the mist. Furthermore, he specialised in mental energy illusions, so the effect of the Misty Forest on him was minimal.
Kacha! Kacha!
Zhao Feng walked on the pile of bones and the area around him was filled with bones. The air of death became heavier and heavier until it was strong enough to make normal cultivators at the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm lose their composure and find it hard to breathe.
A sense of danger and coldness enveloped Zhao Feng's heart. It was as if there was a mysterious power trying to enter his body.
The little thieving cat on his shoulder cautiously looked around.
Zhao Feng took off his eyepatch and his azure eye flashed with a sharp azure light as an aura that could shock gods and ghosts started to spread.
Instantly, the sense of danger dissipated by more than half.
Activating his left eye to the limit, Zhao Feng finally saw the situation in front of him.
In the depths of the Misty Forest, there were more than a hundred graves.
Each grave wasn't small and was comparable to a small palace. The tombstones were ten meters tall.
All the mausoleums surrounded a small plaza.
The ground of the field was made of a weird silver crystal stone and even Zhao Feng's left eye couldn't see through it.
At the centre of the silver field was a stone altar that had arrays carved on it. Next to the stone altar was a small hut.
Misty Forest, Land of White Bones, Mausoleum, Silver Crystal Plaza, Mysterious Altar …
Zhao Feng took a deep breath. It was unknown whether it was out of fear or excitement, but his body started to tremble.
Normally, even those at the half-step Ascended Realm wouldn't be able to reach this depth. Even those at the True Spirit Realm would be affected by the mist and lose their sense of direction.
However, Zhao Feng had managed to do it. With the help of his left eye, he was fine.
At this moment.
Zhao Feng was still more than a hundred yards away from the tombs, but with every step he took, the pressure and uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, the white bones in front of him started to shake and the ground started to shake.
With the sound of bones cracking, two to three human shaped skeletons climbed out from the ground. They held white bone weapons in their hands and green flames burned in their eyes.
Each of the three human shaped skeletons gave Zhao Feng a faint pressure and they all had the strength of at least the 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm.
Furthermore, there might be more ambushes along the way.
Should he go forward or retreat?
Before Zhao Feng could make a decision, the three human shaped skeletons leapt in front of him and started to attack.
