Chapter 39

Chen Feng gathered his energy and focused his mind. After a long while, the white object in his hand suddenly pierced out.

The white object in his hand was about two feet long, entirely white, thick at the bottom and thin at the top, slightly curved, and looked like the tooth of some large animal.

This was precisely the fang of the Black Blood Snake.

In addition to the snake skin, Chen Feng had brought back three other items, all from the Black Blood Snake.

The snake gallbladder, the crystal core, and the longest and sharpest pair of fangs from the Black Blood Snake's mouth.

This pair of fangs was incredibly sturdy, more resilient than fine steel, and extremely sharp at the tip. Chen Feng originally intended to sell them as materials, but since he didn't have a suitable weapon at hand, he decided to use them as a sword.

When he thrust the sword, it was extremely fast.

The blade and the tip of the sword drew a perfect arc in the air. Due to the incredible speed, the true qi slicing through the air didn't have time to dissipate, and it coalesced into a shape that roughly resembled a petal.

Of course, the petal was very crude and rough, like a child's hasty doodle.

It was just about possible to see the outline of a petal, but the details were completely lacking.

Chen Feng, however, felt a surge of joy.

The petals formed by the Rainfall Flying Flower Sword Technique were extremely intricate, with each flower having eighty-one petals, each layer upon layer, exquisitely beautiful and complex.

Now, he could crudely form a single petal, though his skill level was still low. But at least it proved that he was on the right path.

Of course, the road ahead was still long, as he couldn't even form a realistic petal yet.

Chen Feng practiced over and over, his muscles taut, fully focused.

He didn't know how many times he practiced, but by nightfall, he could finally form a petal that was about seventy percent similar to a real one.

Three days later, Chen Feng was finally able to perfectly form a single petal.

The lines and veins on the petal were identical to those of a real petal, looking like a real flower. Yet, it was unique, unlike any other flower in the world.

Chen Feng's lips curved slightly, revealing a faint smile.

He let out a light sigh and looked up, saying softly, "Do you see? I am always moving forward."

It seemed he was speaking to himself.

For the next half month, Chen Feng practiced the Rainfall Flying Flower Sword Technique during the day and cultivated the Beidou Leaf Sutra at night to enhance and solidify his realm.

His peak Sixth Stage of the Later Heaven realm had become thoroughly stable.

He hadn't taken the Consolidation Pill yet, thinking that it would be more worthwhile to take it after reaching the Seventh Stage of the Later Heaven realm.

The path of cultivation became increasingly difficult the higher one went.

Previously, Chen Feng could break through every few days, but that was because his realm was too low at the time. Now that his strength and realm were higher, advancement was even more challenging.

Chen Feng knew that after breaking through to the Seventh Stage of the Later Heaven realm, he might stay at that level for a considerable period.

At that time, it would be necessary to solidify his realm.

Another half month passed, and it had been over a month since Chen Feng arrived here.

There was less than half a month left until the Outer Sect Competition.

After this half month of intense cultivation, Chen Feng's internal true qi was extremely abundant, always on the verge of breaking through to the Seventh Stage of the Later Heaven realm!

Chen Feng knew he should break through.

Torrential rain poured down, as if the endless downpour enveloped the entire Qing Sen Mountain Range.

The rainwater gathered into countless streams on the ground.

Mountain streams swelled, roaring and surging through the valleys.

This summer storm came suddenly and was incredibly fierce.

Outside, the rain connected the sky and the earth, while inside a hidden cave, Chen Feng sat cross-legged, his gaze calm.

Compared to a few months ago when he couldn't cultivate, he seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

His face, once sallow and dry, had become fair and lustrous, his body lean but full of strength, and his jet-black hair flowed down to his waist.

Despite his young age, he was already exceptionally handsome.

Beside him, several silver-gray cocoons lay on the ground, pulsing with surging power.

These were the young wolves, which had been in a deep sleep since they finished eating the Black Blood Snake's flesh.

His hands formed a seal, and in his palms, he held the Black Blood Snake's monster crystal core.

Indeed, today, Chen Feng was going to absorb the power stored in the Black Blood Snake's crystal core.

All monsters had a crystal core, which contained the essence of the monster. About half of a monster's power was stored in the crystal core.

The rest was in the flesh and skin.

The Black Blood Snake's crystal core, about the size of a palm, was entirely emerald green, indicating that the Black Blood Snake was a wood-attribute monster.

At this moment, visible to the naked eye, strands of emerald green light were being extracted from the crystal core and entering Chen Feng's body.

The green light traveled from his palms up his arms, into his meridians, and into his dantian.

Chen Feng was filled with joy.

The Black Blood Snake's crystal core contained a vast amount of life essence, with extremely pure and abundant spiritual energy, far surpassing that of a mid-grade spirit stone.

The wood-attribute true qi entering his body brought a refreshing coolness, making him feel incredibly comfortable.

Chen Feng estimated that at this rate, he would not only fully enter the Seventh Stage of the Later Heaven realm but also be able to advance a bit further.
