After the lesson in the Mysterious Spirit Zone,
Three months of cultivation in the Mysterious Spirit Zone was equivalent to one or two years in the outside world. And the Earth Spirit Zone — three months here was at least equal to six months in the Mysterious Spirit Zone, possibly more.
"The strongest Grade A warriors in the Earth Spirit Zone are all at the fifth level of the Spirit Realm. My current cultivation is still at the fourth level. That's more than enough to hold my own in the Earth Spirit Zone. But once I enter the Heavenly Spirit Zone and face those prodigies, it probably won't be enough. It looks like I need to make the most of these three months in the Earth Spirit Zone. I'll push for a breakthrough to the fifth level of the Spirit Realm in one shot."
His own cultivation was advancing by leaps and bounds, but those disciples in the Heavenly Spirit Zone weren't just lounging around either. In an environment with far richer spiritual energy, their progress was probably just as rapid.
So he had to put in even greater effort to maintain his pace and avoid falling too far behind.
"All the treasures and lucky encounters I've accumulated have given me the strength and confidence to challenge opponents above my level. But in the Heavenly Spirit Zone, every one of those people is a favored child of heaven, and they'll definitely have treasures bestowed upon them by their sect elders. They certainly won't compare to the Ice Fire Demon Lotus or the Primordial Magnetic Gold Mountain, but I've only scratched the surface of these two — I haven't even unlocked a hundredth of their potential. Facing their top geniuses with their top treasures, I may not necessarily have the advantage."
The Ice Fire Demon Lotus and the Primordial Magnetic Gold Mountain were treasures that even Origin Realm old monsters might not be able to fully control. The items were incredible, but he'd developed so little of them.
He hadn't even drawn out a hundredth of their power.
Truthfully,
*Sigh. I've got an entire treasure mountain at my disposal, and all I can do is scratch the surface — using a bit of magnetic force to restrain enemies and channeling some gold essence energy to temper my body. It's like staring at a salted fish eating plain rice.*
Just thinking about the riches inside the Primordial Magnetic Gold Mountain gave
Releasing the Primordial Magnetic Storm, summoning the Golden Halberd Demons, cultivating the Evil Golden Eye, and even summoning the Gold Seal Monarch.
And the most impressive of all — projecting the Primordial Magnetic Gold Mountain itself and crushing his enemies with the most brute-force method imaginable. The thrill of that was beyond words.
The Evil Golden Eye was relatively within reach. Since
However, the Evil Golden Eye wasn't just an eye technique — it also required tremendous mental strength and a heaven-defying level of control over gold essence energy.
The Evil Golden Eye actually worked by using eye techniques to lock onto someone's soul, then silently channeling gold essence energy to transmute their body into metal and stone.
This Divine Ability looked sinister beyond measure, but its underlying principle was really that simple.
The only catch was that at its peak, all the steps merged into one fluid motion, completed almost in a single thought.
That was why it appeared so eerie, even sinister to onlookers.
One glance turning a person into a metal sculpture — that was indeed terrifying to hear about.
But if you broke down the mystifying principles within, it wasn't actually that great a secret.
As for the Ice Fire Demon Lotus,
He had previously controlled six stalks. Now,
In his previous battle against
Only, the lotus had been hidden beneath the arena platform, completely invisible — from the outside, not a single flaw could be detected.
In the end, it was the Ice Fire Demon Lotus that devoured them.
"This Earth Spirit Zone really is different from the Mysterious Spirit Zone. Five arenas, each with its own characteristics. It's a tremendous test for warriors. The difficulty of combat has definitely gone up a notch. Looking at today's results, the longest winning streak was only three in a row."
Just as he was thinking, a knock came from outside the courtyard.
He opened the door, and sure enough, it was the youth from the
"Come in." Having a friend visit naturally put
Ever since Little Fei had left,
"I wouldn't have dared to bother Brother Panshi normally, but while meditating in my room, I kept thinking about the words you shared with me today. The more I thought about them, the more brilliant they seemed, and the more I realized how much I'd gained. So I couldn't help coming over to thank you once more."
