Inside the palace where Chu Feng resided at the Supreme Villa, layer upon layer of barriers had been erected within, and at the center of the grand hall stood a barrier array wreathed in shimmering light.
At the heart of that grand array, Chu Feng's Asura Ghost Axe was planted firmly into the ground.
Chu Feng sat cross-legged before the Asura Ghost Axe, his brow furrowing and relaxing intermittently, subtle emotions flickering across his otherwise calm face.
"Ha ha, it worked! Eggy, you did it! You successfully brought out the special function of this Asura Ghost Axe!" Finally, Chu Feng opened his eyes and jumped to his feet in delight, so excited he could barely contain himself.
Because just as Eggy had said, this Asura Ghost Axe really was a treasure capable of tempering Mental Power. As long as it was combined with this array and Mental Power was channeled into the axe to communicate with the mysterious object inside, it could enhance one's Mental Power.
"This array is just a prototype. After the marriage alliance conference is over, find a spacious and secluded location to cultivate, and I can set up the complete array. Only then will the Asura Ghost Axe's power to temper Mental Power truly be unleashed," Eggy said.
"Eggy, thank you so much! If not for you, I probably never would have discovered the secret hidden inside this Asura Ghost Axe. I had no idea it was actually a treasure for tempering Mental Power." Chu Feng thanked Eggy from the bottom of her heart.
"Hmph, of course! Who can compare to this queen's brilliance?"
"Still, you're not stupid yourself. Even without my reminder, I'm sure you would have eventually noticed this detail after some careful study." Eggy tilted her little head up, flashing a sweet smile — she clearly enjoyed Chu Feng's praise.
"As soon as I become a Blue-robed Spirit World Master, I can go to that Asura Ghost Pagoda and rescue that monkey demon beast. Then I can revive Su Rou and Su Mei. And once I become a Blue-robed Spirit World Master, I can also open the Spirit Realm Gate and restore Eggy's freedom."
Chu Feng's face was full of anticipation, because he felt the Asura Ghost Axe's function was truly excellent. He believed that within a year at most, his Mental Power would be strong enough to communicate with the power of blue barriers. At that point, he would be able to become a Blue-robed Spirit World Master.
"You're oversimplifying things. Becoming a Blue-robed Spirit World Master isn't that easy. Your Mental Power is no longer a concern, but your cultivation is far too weak."
"To communicate with the power of blue barriers, while your Mental Power is the key, if your physical body isn't strong enough, your mental space won't be strong enough either."
"In principle, before a cultivator's strength reaches the Heaven Martial Realm, their mental space simply cannot withstand the pressure of blue barrier power, let alone wield it." Eggy deflated his enthusiasm.
"What? Heaven Martial Realm? Does that mean my physical body, my mental space, can't withstand blue barrier power either? I have to reach the Heaven Martial Realm?"
Chu Feng, who had extreme confidence in his physical body, never imagined that even his body couldn't break through this limitation.
But after all, Zi Ling had become a Blue-robed Spirit World Master without reaching the Heaven Martial Realm. Could it really be that his body was inferior to a Heavenly Gifted Divine Body?
"Your body is indeed very strong — in some aspects, even stronger than Zi Ling's."
"But it's not yet strong enough to rival a Heaven Martial Realm cultivator. Whether on the path of martial cultivation or the way of Spirit World Mastery, there are always corresponding limitations and boundaries."
"Some people can indeed break through these boundaries and cast off these restrictions, but even then there is a range."
"According to my calculations, to obtain the power of blue barriers and become a Blue-robed Spirit World Master, you'll need to raise your current cultivation from the third stage of the Xuan Martial Realm to the seventh stage. The seventh stage of Xuan Martial should be sufficient to communicate with blue barrier power," Eggy explained.
