What Chen Zong had said was too outrageous, but the three elders still believed him after a round of examination.
This was because the whirlpool that Chen Zong had formed was a king whirlpool, and the density and purity of the earth's spirit power was quite astonishing.
They'd also tested Chen Zong, and Chen Zong had already comprehended the mysteries of the twenty or so earth spirit realm methods. He explained them one by one, making the three elders even more convinced.
"Is there anything you need us three old fellows to do?" Elder Lu asked with a face full of smiles.
At first, they had thought that Chen Zong was arrogant and had wasted his time. But now, they knew that Chen Zong's ambition was so great that even the three of them, who were at the late stage of the Profound Heaven Realm, were speechless.
At the very least, they hadn't had Chen Zong's willpower and determination before this. Even the methods they were practicing now had been created by their predecessors. They would only truly set foot on their own path after reaching the limits of the sky profound realm. However, Chen Zong had already taken the first step, even though he was still very young.
"I need more earth spirit realm methods." Chen Zong said.
The more earth spirit realm methods he could study and absorb their essence, the better he would be able to perfect the art of mind.
"Earth spirit realm methods, huh? I do have two lower rank methods and one middle rank method here that the Myriad Repository Palace doesn't have." Elder Lu didn't say anything else as he took out three books of methods and handed them to Chen Zong.
Elder Wang and Elder Su also had their own collections, and Chen Zong had received quite a few earth spirit realm methods.
"When will you be able to perfect the methods and begin training?" Elder Su asked. "You can't wait until you've perfected the methods to the ninth level of the earth spirit realm, can you? That would take too long and seriously delay your progress."
If Chen Zong waited until his methods were perfected to the ninth level of the earth spirit realm before he started training, who knew how many years it would take. He would imperceptibly fall behind his peers by a great deal.
After all, in a few years, the prodigy level geniuses would at least be able to raise their cultivation by quite a bit. At least one layer, at most two or three layers were possible.
After all, a prodigy's talent was astonishing. Coupled with suitable resources, the efficiency would be even higher.
"I've already perfected the first and second stage of the technique, and the third stage is about to be perfected." Chen Zong smiled and said, "Once I've perfected the third stage, I'll start cultivating."
"Alright." Elder Lu heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Chen Zong would have to perfect all the techniques before he could start cultivating. That would take too long.
"Work hard on your cultivation. If you have any questions, you can come to us directly. Hopefully, the next time we meet, your cultivation base will have improved significantly," Elder Wang said with a smile.
The three elders with real power went from anticipation to disappointment to shock, and then back to their current state of anticipation.
Other than concealing the grade of the Mysterious Heart Art, Chen Zong didn't lie to them. Of course, the reason why he said that it was of the highest grade was because the strongest inheritance of the various major powers were all of the highest grade. This was especially so for the two Holy Lands.
It was said that the Guild Master had cultivated a supreme-grade inheritance.
The Azure Dragon Sword Dao of the Azure Dragon was also a supreme-grade inheritance.
Therefore, although the supreme-grade methods that Chen Zong wanted to create were astonishing, what was truly astonishing was the creation itself and not the level. The three elders wouldn't be tempted to ask for them either. After all, they were cultivating the best of the upper rank methods. After many years of immersion, they'd long since grasped the essence of the methods and were confident that they could raise it to the supreme-grade level. It would be extremely compatible with their own supreme-grade methods.
After the three elders had left, Chen Zong closed the doors to the hall and once again began to study the earth spirit methods. With enough knowledge, Chen Zong's comprehension speed greatly increased. In less than ten days, he'd completely comprehended the earth spirit methods and integrated their essence into the Mind Mysterious Skill.
The first, second, and third levels of the Mind Mysterious Skill had all reached the supreme-grade level. As for the fourth level, the difficulty was even greater. Chen Zong estimated that it would take at least a few months. Therefore, it was better to cultivate first and slowly perfect it. When he reached the third level of the earth spirit realm, he'd probably be able to perfect the fourth and fifth levels as well.
"There are even fewer methods available when I reach the sky profound realm. The difficulty of perfecting them to the supreme-grade level will greatly increase." Chen Zong couldn't help but think.
Perhaps the Mind Mysterious Skill of the sky profound realm wouldn't be able to reach the supreme-grade level at that time, and would stop at the supreme-grade.
Chen Zong then shook his head and revealed a rueful smile. He was only at the beginning of the first level of the earth spirit realm, and the gap between him and the sky profound realm was enormous. He estimated that he'd need at least ten years to reach the sky profound realm, or even longer. Thinking about this was a bit too far away.
He needed to plan for the future, but he should pay more attention to the present and further strengthen his foundation.
"Let's start cultivating." Taking a deep breath, Chen Zong sat down cross legged in the middle of the Minor Meridian Gathering Formation. He cleared his mind of all distracting thoughts and activated the formation.
Half a year had passed since he'd entered the headquarters. Everyone else had been cultivating and increasing their cultivation and strength, but his cultivation hadn't increased at all. Even his strength had remained stagnant. However, it wasn't that Chen Zong hadn't gained anything, but that he'd increased his own accumulation.
Accumulation couldn't be seen or touched, and couldn't increase one's strength, but it was extremely useful.
Taking out an upper rank Spirit Origin Pill and an upper rank Earth Vein Pill, Chen Zong threw them into his mouth at the same time. After chewing and swallowing them, he immediately circulated the Mind Mysterious Skill, the first level of the earth spirit realm.
Under the circulation, the King Earth Vein Vortex activated at an astonishing speed, spinning faster and faster. The energy of heaven and earth and the power of the earth veins within the Minor Meridian Gathering Formation were instantly absorbed, and quickly poured into Chen Zong's body like a whale sucking in water. After the upper rank Spirit Origin Pill and upper rank Earth Vein Pill entered his stomach, their medicinal effects instantly exploded like a flood breaking through a dam. Vigorous, majestic, and domineering, they blended into one and rushed into every part of Chen Zong's body.
Chen Zong felt as if his insides were about to be destroyed. If his body wasn't strong enough, he'd probably feel pain.
Chen Zong's powerful body allowed him to withstand the impact of the two medicinal pills. The King Earth Vein Vortex's rotation speed reached its peak, and the suction force it emitted was incomparably terrifying. It instantly sucked in all the energy.
The energy that emanated from the upper rank Spirit Origin Pill and upper rank Earth Vein Pill was extremely pure. Chen Zong didn't need to refine them at all, and could quickly absorb them as he circulated them. This was the greatest benefit of taking these two pills.
After all, the spirit qi within a spirit source was already quite pure to begin with, especially an upper rank spirit source. It was shockingly pure. To an earth spirit realm practitioner, not a trace of impurities could be found within it, and the spirit origin pills refined from it would be even purer.
The same was true for the Earth Vein Pill.
In this way, one's training level could rise even faster.
Circulating his method, the King Earth Vein Vortex rotated at an extreme speed and continuously absorbed the energy of the two pills. The formation's energy was also continuously absorbed. In comparison, the formation's energy needed to be further refined. Using both methods at the same time, the King Earth Vein Vortex became even more solid.
The second vortex immediately appeared and formed, becoming extremely clear, like a brand.
Then, the third spiral pattern began to form.
The fourth!
The fifth!
In the blink of an eye, five vortexes had appeared on the King Earth Vein Vortex. Each one was extremely clear and solid, exuding astounding ripples of aura. They were distributed throughout the entire King Earth Vein Vortex, greatly increasing its density.
If the previous King Earth Vein Vortex was said to be as hard as wood, then it was now as hard as steel. This was a qualitative leap.
When earth spirit realm practitioners fought, they stored their strength through the King Earth Vein Vortex. The source of their explosive strength was also the King Earth Vein Vortex. If the explosive strength was too intense, it would cause the King Earth Vein Vortex to become unstable and even damaged.
The more condensed the King Earth Vein Vortex was, the more explosive strength it could withstand. When the King Earth Vein Vortex was condensed to an astounding degree, it could even explode with strength that surpassed one's limits in an instant, reaching 110% or even 120%.
This was without a doubt a secret method.
Chen Zong's King Earth Vein Vortex had already been quite condensed to begin with. After transforming into the fifth vortex, the degree of its density had increased even further, and it was even more frightening. It could absolutely explode with strength that surpassed one's limits in an instant. As for how much it could exceed, that would only be known after trying it out.
After all, exploding with strength that surpassed one's limits wasn't part of one's foundation and couldn't be estimated.
Chen Zong didn't have the time to try it out now. He still had to train and do his best to increase his level of training.
After the King Earth Vein Vortex had transformed into the fifth vortex, its revolving speed had continuously increased, and it seemed to have doubled from before. This meant that Chen Zong's refining and absorbing speed had doubled, and so had his recovery speed. At the same time, the speed at which he could mobilize his strength had doubled as well.
Not only did his training speed increase, but his explosive strength would also increase. His battle strength would also increase and become even more frightening.
The pure Ling Qi and Earth Vein Power contained in the upper grade Ling Qi Dan and upper grade Earth Vein Dan were simply too dense. In a short period of time, Chen Zong couldn't absorb all of them. Even though the absorption speed of the King Earth Vein Vortex was astonishing, it would still take a long time.
Under normal circumstances, it would take about ten days for Yu Fei and the others to absorb a Middle-grade Spirit Source Elixir and a Middle-grade Earth Vein Elixir. After that, their cultivation would improve significantly. If they were to absorb an Upper-Grade Spirit Source Elixir and an Upper-Grade Earth Vein Elixir, it would take them at least 20 days.
Although the time was longer, the improvement in their cultivation was more obvious.
Chen Zong's absorption speed was undoubtedly faster. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. The energy contained in the two Ling Qi Dans had also been completely absorbed by Chen Zong, displaying the amazing ability of the King Earth Vein Vortex.
"It's improved a lot." Chen Zong carefully felt the King Earth Vein Power contained in the King Earth Vein Vortex. It was much more dense than before, and the entire King Earth Vein Vortex had also improved.
Chen Zong's Mysterious Mind Art was at the supreme rank, and the King Earth Vein Vortex was at the fifth vortex. The King Earth Vein Power within was even more dense and pure. Naturally, it would require more energy to improve.
"I estimate that with four more upper grade Ling Qi Dans and four more upper grade Earth Vein Dans, my cultivation will be able to break through to the mid first level of the earth spirit realm." Chen Zong thought to himself.
If it were someone like Yu Fei, perhaps two upper grade Ling Qi Dans and two upper grade Earth Vein Dans would be enough to break through to the mid first level of the earth spirit realm. They wouldn't even need two pills.
