With a boom, the ground trembled. The terrifying power shattered the earth and gravel blocking the entrance of the cave, spraying out like lava.
Amidst the billowing dust, a stalwart figure suddenly charged out and landed on the ground. His tiger-like eyes swept across the surroundings. A sharp glint shot out like cold lightning. His might was astonishing, and a wave of anger was deeply buried within.
Shortly after, another figure rushed out, surrounded by strands of starlight.
It was the Skyscraper Society and the Nine-Star Celestial Sect experts.
They originally planned to spend some time suppressing the evil energy wreaking havoc in their bodies, but they didn't expect to be taken advantage of by others. Not only did they expend a lot of energy, but they also spent a lot of time and energy. In the end, they were both injured.
After paying such a price, their spoils of war were taken away by others. How could they not be angry? How could they not be filled with killing intent?
However, since the Snatcher from the Tiger's Mouth had already escaped, and they were restrained by the evil force, they couldn't immediately give chase. Since that was the case, they might as well suppress the evil force first, or even expel it before making a move.
They had already memorized the appearance and aura of the Snatcher from the Tiger's Mouth, and they also knew his identity. He was from the Polar Heaven Association, so they weren't worried about him escaping.
Thus, the two of them spent some time before finally expelling all the evil energy and recovering all the energy they had used up. Once they recovered, the two of them immediately chased after Chen Zong and arrived outside the mine. They began to search for traces and auras left behind by Chen Zong.
However, Chen Zong had used the Earth Shrinking Technique, and with the passage of time, there was almost no aura left behind. It was very difficult to find him.
Whether it was the Skyscraper Society or the Nine-Star Celestial Sect experts, their faces were so gloomy that they seemed to be able to drip water. The killing intent in their eyes blazed like the sun.
One could imagine that if they found Chen Zong, there would be a storm.
…
This was a very hidden cave. No one knew who had opened it, but now it was discovered by Chen Zong.
Chen Zong entered the cave and sealed the entrance. It looked no different from the rest of the cave and was difficult to detect.
The interior of the cave was not very spacious. It was about the size of a house and there was nothing inside. He did not know what the person who opened it up used it for. No matter what it was, it would be useful for him now.
Chen Zong took out an unknown body-refining pill and threw it into his mouth. Then, he began to cultivate the Thousand Refinements Mysterious Technique.
The Thousand Refinements Mysterious Art was an Extreme Grade Cultivation Method, whether it was in the Extreme Mortal Realm or the Earth Spirit Realm. However, once it reached the Profound Sky Realm, it would drop to an Upper Grade Cultivation Method.
As soon as the pill entered Chen Zong's body, it immediately exploded. Amidst the roar, waves of blazing aura surged like waves, surging endlessly. It instantly spread out and filled every inch of Chen Zong's body, surging within his limbs and bones.
That aura was incomparably scorching, like a torrent of magma, constantly fusing into the Pure Yang Blood Qi. The pale golden Pure Yang Blood Qi seemed to be affected, and it seemed to be changing, its color deepening little by little.
Chen Zong's body kept moving. Under the Thousand Refinements Mysterious Technique, the blazing torrent became fiercer and fiercer. It attacked Chen Zong's body as if it had been tempered thousands of times, constantly refining and increasing the strength of his body.
It was as if his body had turned into a piece of fine iron, being calcined in a blazing furnace.
It was as if he had been calcined until he was red, then placed on an anvil and continuously hit by a giant hammer.
Tempered thousands of times!
The cultivation of the Thousand Refinements Mysterious Technique was to use all kinds of movements to bring pressure to the body in order to achieve the goal of refining.
Heat constantly spread out from Chen Zong's body, filling up the secret underground cave, causing the temperature in the secret underground cave to rise continuously. If an ordinary person were to enter this secret underground cave, they would instantly suffocate to death, and then be cooked by the amazing heat.
The temperature kept rising, and without a place to vent, it kept accumulating and compressing, reaching a point where it could melt ordinary steel. However, the surrounding soil was different from the soil outside, and was not affected by the high temperature.
Chen Zong felt as if his body was going to burn. His skin was completely red, and it was frighteningly red.
About an hour later, the blazing heat gradually seeped into the soil, and Chen Zong also refined and absorbed the medicinal efficacy, slowly returning to normal.
Chen Zong moved his hands and feet, feeling that his strength had increased a lot, and his strength had also become more powerful.
He took out the second unknown body-refining elixir and took it again. Chen Zong planned to refine and absorb all 12 elixirs in this secret underground cave, and improve his cultivation of body-refining as much as possible.
What was certain was that if he took all 12 elixirs, his cultivation of body-refining would at least improve by a large level. At least.
After refining one elixir in an hour, the temperature in the secret underground cave didn't drop. Gradually, even the surrounding soil was affected, slowly turning red and starting to melt. After melting, the soil solidified together like molten iron, causing the walls of the secret underground cave to become even harder.
When all 12 elixirs were finally refined, the color of the pure yang qi and blood seemed to have deepened, and the pure yang aura contained within them had also become denser. The strength contained within his bones and muscles had also increased greatly.
Strong strength condensed and flowed slowly within his body. When Chen Zong spread out his ten fingers, there was a feeling as if he could split open a mountain, and the air around him rippled endlessly.
He then clenched his five fingers, and an astonishing sound of air exploding rang out from his hands as ripples rapidly spread out.
Very strong!
Chen Zong could feel that his strength had greatly increased, and had increased by quite a bit.
"My current cultivation of body-refining should be equivalent to the initial fifth level of the earth spirit realm." Chen Zong thought to himself, and his heart was filled with excitement.
He'd originally been at the initial third level of the earth spirit realm, but had now risen to the initial fifth level of the earth spirit realm after refining and absorbing the twelve elixirs. Such an increase was undoubtedly astonishing.
After the increase, the power of the Void Sword would also increase, and his strength would also increase. Another important point was that a stronger body would be able to withstand more of the impact of the Ascension to the Heavens.
"The current me should be able to raise my strength to the peak of the ninth level of the earth spirit realm after activating the power of the Ascension Tower." Chen Zong said to himself, unable to conceal the excitement in his eyes.
If he gave it his all, he might be able to withstand even more of the Ascension to the Heavens.
In this way, his safety in the Spirit Gold Secret Realm would be guaranteed.
The threat that the two experts from the Skyscraper Society and the Nine Star Sky Sect posed to him would be greatly reduced.
After refining the twelve elixirs and increasing his strength, his qi training would gradually synchronize with his body training due to the unification of his Lingwu.
This was a mutual process. Just like how Chen Zong's qi training had increased, his body training had also quickly caught up.
However, the process of the two was different.
After his qi training had increased, the spirit energy in his body would continuously nourish his body, causing his body training to increase as well. However, when his body training increased, his strength couldn't be used to nourish his spirit energy. Therefore, Chen Zong had to replenish enough spirit energy to allow his qi training to quickly catch up with his body training.
Even so, Chen Zong felt that it was very good. At least it was ten times faster than cultivating by himself.
He took out a large amount of elixirs to aid his qi training and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing and swallowing them. They turned into strands of pure spirit energy that filled his body. Normally, Chen Zong would have to refine them himself, and that would take quite a bit of time. But now, the spirit energy within the elixirs was rapidly being absorbed, and the energy of the earth vein was continuously flowing into his body, being refined into earth vein spirit energy and gradually increasing his cultivation.
"What a pity." Chen Zong couldn't help but sigh. This speed was indeed more than ten times faster than his usual cultivation, but unfortunately, the effects of the elixirs were quite mediocre. If he had an upper rank spirit origin elixir or upper rank earth vein elixir, he would've been able to increase his cultivation speed by more than a hundred times.
According to the current situation, it looked like his qi training wouldn't be able to reach the initial fifth level of the earth spirit realm in a short amount of time. However, Chen Zong estimated that he would be able to do so in less than half a year.
Increasing his cultivation from the initial third level of the earth spirit realm to the initial fifth level of the earth spirit realm in less than half a year. Who knew how frightening such a speed would be if he told others?
Now that his cultivation was complete, it was time for the Heavenly Will Sword.
He drew out the longsword, its blade as cold as autumn waters.
Chen Zong then took out the spirit metal.
Chen Zong's palms faced each other half a meter apart, slowly rotating them with the Heavenly Will Sword in the middle.
The true meaning of fire from the third level of the materialization realm suddenly emerged, turning into a blazing flame that quickly engulfed the sword, causing it to turn bright red in the span of a few breaths as its temperature rose rapidly.
A grain of spirit metal landed on the sword and quickly melted under the scorching heat.
Compared to ordinary steel, spirit metal was naturally more difficult to melt, but it was much easier to melt than spirit metal ore.
After the grain of spirit metal melted, it turned into strands of golden liquid that quickly flowed over the sword, completely covering it. It then slowly seeped into the sword under the scorching heat.
It didn't take long for the liquid of the spirit metal to completely seep into the Heavenly Will Sword and be completely absorbed by it.
The Heavenly Will Sword was used by Chen Zong and had long since been refined by Chen Zong. Therefore, Chen Zong could feel some changes in the Heavenly Will Sword.
The second, third, and fourth grains of spirit metal flew up and landed on the scorching blade, quickly melting and spreading out to cover the entire sword.
It didn't take long for the Heavenly Will Sword to absorb one or two grains of spirit metal, but it showed no signs of evolving. This was within Chen Zong's expectations, so he continued to pour in spirit metal.
The more he poured in, the more spirit metal was consumed.
Soon, half a kilogram of spirit metal had been consumed, but the Heavenly Will Sword was still evolving. However, its aura was much stronger than before.
"Does it have to consume one kilogram of spirit metal like a mid rank spirit weapon upgrading to an upper rank spirit weapon?" Chen Zong couldn't help but speculate.
