Chen Zong's current speed was as fast as lightning.
The sixth level of the Chaotic Heaven Energy Shattering Force was the consummation of this technique. The recovery rate of his inner strength doubled. Once consumed, it would quickly recover. It was amazing.
The doubling of the purity of the Chaotic Heaven Origin Breaching Force had greatly increased its might. It also allowed Chen Zong to execute his movement technique at a much faster speed.
Chen Zong was as fast as the wind. Together with the powerful Chaotic Body, his speed was not inferior to the Red Scale Dragon Horse. His endurance was not inferior either.
The Red Scaled Flood Dragon Horse had been brought back by the Second Prince and the others, so Chen Zong could only rely on his two legs to travel. The strong wind whistled past him, and the scenery on his left and right flashed past him at a rapid speed. This kind of feeling was very wonderful.
Moving as fast as lightning, Chen Zong felt as if he was about to fly.
He immediately entered the Realm of Enlightenment and connected with the power of heaven and earth. It was as if a breeze was blowing from all directions, surrounding Chen Zong and lifting Chen Zong's body. It made him lighter and his speed increased by more than 30%.
When entering the Realm of Enlightenment, it would consume spiritual power to draw upon the power of heaven and earth. However, Chen Zong grasped the limit and only drew upon it slightly. This way, the consumption of spiritual power would not be too much. He could maintain a balance and increase his speed by 30%.
On the other hand, he could further train his control of the power of heaven and earth.
But no matter what, the recovery rate of his spiritual power could not keep up with the consumption rate. When almost all of his spiritual power was consumed, Chen Zong exited the Realm of Enlightenment. He continued on his way and allowed his spiritual power to recover on its own. When it was fully recovered, he entered the Realm of Enlightenment again and increased his speed again.
At night, Chen Zong half lay on the trunk of a tree beside the road. He did not move, but his mind was not calm at all. He was seizing every minute and second to comprehend various things.
The sky was slightly bright. After taking the Profound Energy Pill, Chen Zong continued on his way.
The sun rose and the moon set. The moon rose and the sun set. Day by day, the sun and the moon alternated.
On the fifth day, Chen Zong saw the outline of the Royal City's city wall.
"Finally." Exhaling, Chen Zong showed a touch of joy. He increased his speed and rushed forward.
Stepping through the outer city gates of the capital, Chen Zong's heart calmed down as he sensed the aura that only the capital had. Soon after, his stomach seemed to grumble.
He was hungry.
Chen Zong almost drooled at the thought of eating Essence Pills these days. Although they could fill his stomach and replenish his physical strength, he felt as if his intestines were calling out to him at the thought of the delicious and hot food.
He did not return to the Guan Mansion directly. Instead, he found a restaurant in the outer city that looked pretty good.
It was afternoon, and most people had already eaten lunch. However, it was not yet time for dinner, so there were not many customers in the restaurant. There were only two or three tables. Chen Zong sat down at an empty table by the window.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?" The waiter of the restaurant, wearing a clean white tablecloth, came up to greet him with a smile.
"What's your signature dish?" Chen Zong asked casually. Since he had decided to have a big meal, he would not do it casually.
"That's a good question." The waiter smiled and said, "Our restaurant has crystal pork knuckles, seven-spice beef, three delicacies …"
The waiter named seven or eight dishes in a row.
"Give me one of each, and a bottle of wine," Chen Zong said directly. He was hungry.
"Okay. Please wait a moment. Drink some tea to moisten your throat. The dishes will be served soon." The waiter smiled.
"Where did this Nan Shuntian come from?"
Chen Zong looked at the scenery outside the window while waiting. He also heard the conversations of other customers in the restaurant.
"I don't know. He's not from our dynasty."
"I heard that his cultivation has reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm."
"The peak of the Qi Refining Realm. This Nan Shuntian is too powerful. Other than Ding Xuan, no one among the younger generation of Qi Refining Realm warriors is a match for him. No one can even withstand three strikes from him."
Chen Zong's attention was immediately attracted, and his curiosity was piqued.
Nan Shuntian?
He had never heard of this name.
Other than Ding Xuan, no one among the younger generation of Qi Refining Realm warriors could withstand three strikes from him. Did that mean that even the second ranked warrior on the Jiaolong List of the dynasty was no match for him?
Chen Zong already knew that the second ranked warrior on the Jiaolong List of the dynasty was at the middle stage of the Six-star level. However, he could not withstand three strikes from Nan Shuntian. The gap was too big.
Then how powerful was Nan Shuntian?
Suddenly, Chen Zong's interest was piqued. He wanted to see the so-called powerful Nan Shuntian with his own eyes. It would be best if he could fight with him.
"In a few days, the Dragon Fighting Ring will be held. At that time, Nan Shuntian and Ding Xuan will fight. I wonder who is stronger?"
"Ding Xuan …" Chen Zong murmured thoughtfully.
Ding Xuan was the first ranked warrior on the Jiaolong List of the dynasty. It was said that his combat strength was at the late stage of the Six-star level. Of course, Chen Zong did not know if that was his full strength. After all, he had never seen Ding Xuan fight, nor had he fought with him.
Ding Xuan had reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm. This was the goal that Chen Zong wanted to pursue.
How powerful was Nan Shuntian?
How powerful was Ding Xuan?
Who would win the fight between Nan Shuntian and Ding Xuan?
Chen Zong wanted to know all of these.
Not far away, a few guests were talking about the fight between Nan Shuntian and Ding Xuan. They all had their own opinions. They were just short of quoting the classics to debate.
But the real winner would depend on the fight between the two.
At this time, the waiter quickly walked up with steaming hot dishes and placed them in front of Chen Zong. He then poured a glass of wine for Chen Zong.
"Sir, please enjoy." Then, the waiter left.
His stomach growled again. He ate quickly but did not seem to be in a hurry. Instead, he enjoyed the food with a unique taste.
The stewed meat melted as soon as it entered his mouth. The chewy bull meat gave off seven different flavors, stimulating his taste buds and giving off a unique flavor.
Chen Zong ate the meat in big mouthfuls and drank the wine glass after glass. Like a whirlwind, he wiped out the table of food and wine. Even a dog would cry at the sight of the plates because he ate them too cleanly.
If a martial artist ate without restraint, their appetite was still very large. This was especially true for a martial artist like Chen Zong, whose physique had broken through the limits of the human body. His digestive ability was astonishing. Normally, food that would cause all kinds of adverse effects to the body would be digested completely once it entered his stomach. Only the useful parts of the body would be kept.
This was also a manifestation of his ability to survive.
"Eighty percent full. That's enough." Chen Zong thought. He was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he sat down and rested for a while before paying the bill.
Such a full meal, and it was the restaurant's signature dish. Even in a place like the Royal City, there were only three spirit shells. Of course, for a normal person, three spirit shells were enough for them to live for a long time.
"There are still a few days before the battle between Nan Shuntian and Ding Xuan. Maybe I can try to further purify my inner force in these few days." Chen Zong thought to himself.
When a martial artist's cultivation reached the limit of a realm, he had to further strengthen his foundation and purify his inner force to the real limit. However, this usually required the corresponding cultivation method or secret method.
In the Mountain Overlook Courtyard, Chen Zong had memorized the secret method of purifying inner force, the Strength Condensation Technique.
He did not practice the Strength Condensation Technique before because his cultivation had not reached the real limit. Now that he had reached the peak of the Ninth Transformation of the Strength Refining Realm, and his cultivation method had broken through to the highest level, the sixth level. This was his limit.
Walking along the wide and clean street, Chen Zong walked to the inner city gate and took out the National Scholar Token. This was a symbol of his status.
After returning to the Guan Mansion, Chen Zong first went to visit the Duke of Zhengyuan to inform him of his return.
Chen Zong's breath was completely restrained. Without using his inner force, it was difficult to sense his cultivation. The Duke of Zhengyuan also could not see the changes in Chen Zong.
Returning to the Red Maple Garden, he took off the Fierce Dragon Bow and twelve arrows.
The original purpose of bringing the bow and arrows was to better fight. However, the environment and terrain of the Chillywind Valley were not conducive to the use of the bow and arrows. It was better to use two swords directly. Therefore, Chen Zong did not use them.
After a short rest, Chen Zong began to practice the Strength Condensation Technique.
Time was important. While he was still young, he had to work harder and improve himself as much as possible. He had to compete with others, himself, and time.
Every opportunity had to be fought for, whether it was intentional or unintentional.
When one's cultivation reached the extreme, it was very difficult to purify his inner force. Even if one had the secret method, it could not be done overnight. It required enough time and energy and great perseverance. Otherwise, it would be difficult to achieve anything.
As the Strength Condensation Technique was activated, the powerful and vigorous Huntian Yuan Breaking Force was also activated. However, at first, it was very difficult and obscure, as if a child was dragging a hundred-kilogram heavy object. It was difficult to move it, even if he tried his best. However, Chen Zong persevered.
Practicing the secret method of purifying inner force like the Strength Condensation Technique, if the inner force itself was not pure enough, it would be easier to purify it. However, if the inner force itself was very pure, it would be several times more difficult to purify it.
The Huntian Yuan Breaking Force was a Peerless Earth Level Cultivation Method. Among the Cultivation Methods for cultivating inner force, it was the top one. Moreover, among the various Peerless Earth Level Cultivation Methods, it was also one of the top ones. The inner force cultivated by it was naturally very pure.
There was no doubt that it was much more difficult to purify it with such high purity. Fortunately, Chen Zong's mental strength was also very strong. After holding on for a while, he managed to activate the powerful Huntian Yuan Breaking Force. It followed the path of the Strength Condensation Technique bit by bit, like an old ox dragging a heavy cart.
Chen Zong's forehead was slightly sweaty and his breathing became uneven. However, he still persevered.
When his clothes were wet with sweat, Chen Zong opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. He felt relieved.
Finally, it took him three hours to slowly circulate the powerful Huntian Yuan Breaking Force according to the path of the Strength Condensation Technique. However, when Chen Zong felt it carefully, he found that there was almost no improvement in the purity of his inner force. He could not help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
