Cultivation knows no time, and it passes quickly.
When Feng Zaixing's consciousness gradually returned and he slowly opened his eyes, he realized that he had undergone another deep meditation.
"The effect of the sacrifice is too good. I'll have to pay attention to it in the future. I wonder how long it's been this time."
He muttered to himself, then Feng Zaixing circulated his spirit power and vital Qi to regain sensation in his limbs and torso. He then discovered that various spiritual treasures rich in life energy were buried under the hot spring water around him, and his body had unconsciously absorbed the nutrients, with excellent results.
Looking inward at his Sea of Spirit, it was filled with mist and clouds like a Small World, its size having expanded by about twofold. This made Feng Zaixing understand:
He had already stepped into the Spirit Domain Realm, the mental Realm of most top powerhouses, relying on his extraordinary mental force talent, continuous great Opportunities, and desperate Spirit.
Spirit Domain Realm: Spirit consciousness forms a domain, with the Soul as the Origin, and Spirit consciousness as the area, forming its own heaven and earth, a single World of mind.
Within the upper limit of mental force, one can fuse any level and any number of spirit souls, with a theoretical upper limit of nine.
Elemental particles of light and fire moved in the air, like soldiers reverently approaching a general on a platform, gathering towards Feng Zaixing, making one marvel at the profoundness of the Spirit Domain Realm.
For elemental Spirit Masters, sometimes the improvement in combat power from mental force surpasses that of spirit power. Any elemental Spirit Master whose mental force reaches the Spirit Domain Realm can manipulate environmental elements, boosting their combat power to the Titled Douluo level.
Among them, Silver Dragon King Gu Yue is the most typical example. As long as her mental force meets the standard, a Seven-Element Grand Explosion can unleash peak combat power, leaving Tang Wulin of the same cultivation level utterly unable to retaliate.
"You're awake, Teacher. You've been in seclusion for half a year."
Outside the hot spring, space twisted, and Yuanen Yehui jogged over, a radiant smile on her face, followed by Yuan En Tiandang, A Ruheng — and Na'er.
Having seen familiar faces along the way, Feng Zaixing used his mental force to obscure his form, instantly donning a dark blue uniform, and stepped out of the hot spring pool.
"Then it seems it's not too late."
Feng Zaixing smiled freely, resting his left hand on his knee, and sat down on a bluestone: "Tell me how you've been this past half-year, how the One Heart Society is doing, and what exciting things have happened outside."
Judging from their mental states, there shouldn't have been too much bad news outside while he was in seclusion.
Yuanen Yehui concisely said: "Following your instructions, cultivating with my father."
A Ruheng laughed heartily: "Summarizing gains and losses, striving for perfection."
Yuan En Tiandang's body looked completely recovered: "Teaching my daughter to Cultivate, pushing to the limit."
Na'er smiled faintly: "Running around, with little leisure."
Feng Zaixing listened to each of them, deep in thought: "It seems none of you have been idle."
Yuanen Yehui's dimples showed a smile, her beautiful cheeks, like snow piled on a fragrant tree, were full of smiles, her aura restrained like a hidden sword's edge, entering a more profound level.
A Ruheng had broken through to Spirit Douluo two and a half years ago, then fused with the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum spirit soul, advancing to level eighty-two. In the past two and a half years, he had engaged in continuous battles and reaped rewards, now at level eighty-eight, his cultivation very stable.
If Feng Zaixing's senses were not mistaken, A Ruheng had already fused Spirit Bones in five of his six body parts, one of which was a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone from the Body Sect Legacy, and the others were also hundred-thousand-year existences.
The twelve reclusive Sects worried about the slow Cultivation of the Body Sect's Senior Disciple and sacrificed their own resources to support the Body Sect; this Spirit is truly moving.
Thanks to fusing a hundred-thousand-year head Spirit Bone, A Ruheng's mental force was also not far from the Spirit Domain Realm. The Body Sect's Senior Disciple would rise much faster than in the alternate timeline, restoring the Body Sect's glory.
Yuan En Tiandang's aura was profound, having rediscovered his former Dao of guardianship and pride. He was no longer despondent, vowing to avenge his beloved wife and clansmen!
Na'er also changed greatly, becoming even more beautiful and charming. Her silver hair framed a face capable of toppling nations, and her sweet smile exuded confident light.
"Senior Martial Brother, don't worry about the One Heart Society. It's not just your hard work, but ours too. We are all working hard."
Na'er said with a smile, recounting the One Heart Society's activities over the past six months to Feng Zaixing.
Externally, under Yu Xin's leadership, the Federal Investigation Bureau struck hard, sweeping through dozens of Tang Sect branches, including the Mingdu Tang Sect branch, and participated in the dismantling and restructuring of Tang Sect assets.
Internally, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was flourishing, with more and more new Geniuses emerging. Many Spirit Master academies applied for exchange and study, and large numbers of Geniuses from other places eagerly tried to join the One Heart Society.
The reason for such brilliance was not only the Federal Investigation Bureau's excellent development momentum over the past half-year but also the crushing defeat of the Shrek Tang expeditionary army, which was utterly routed.
A Ruheng said: "The Shrek Tang allied army was ambushed by the Holy Spirit Cult at the Douling Tang Sect branch. Zang Xin was injured, Liang Xiaoyu, the Hall Master of the Speed Hall, one of the Tang Sect's three outer halls, was killed, and Zhao Song, the Hall Master of the Power Hall, was severely injured and crippled. Additionally, twelve Three-Word Battle Armor Masters from the Battle Soul Hall who accompanied the expedition were killed."
"One Sea God's Pavilion Elder from Shrek was killed, one was severely injured, and eight Three-Word Battle Armor Masters were killed; Yun Ming and Ya Li were injured."
"If it were just that, it would be fine, but that incompetent Cai Yue'er somehow fell into the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult. The Ghost Emperor broadcasted it live across the entire planet, using the hostage to force the injured Shrek Tang experts to attend a meeting."
"This time, Yun Ming, Ya Li, Zang Xin, and Long Yeyue went together and exerted great effort to rescue Cai Yue'er. But during the battle, Yun Ming was wounded by the Ghost Emperor's Nine Ghost Soul Chasing Nails, and Zang Xin was severely injured by Ha Luosa."
Feng Zaixing's face trembled: "How could it have turned out like this? What were Long Yeyue and Ya Li doing?"
Na'er sighed lightly, saying faintly: "That's the key point. Originally, Ya Li's Spirit was very effective against Evil Soul Masters, but they were all injured at the time. Yun Ming fought the Ghost Emperor, while Zang Xin and Long Yeyue besieged the Underworld Emperor. For a time, no clear result could be achieved."
"At the critical moment, the Dark Phoenix Leng Yulai launched a sneak attack on Ya Li, using the disposable Divine Artifact, the Demon God Sword, almost killing Ya Li; Yun Ming, enraged, rushed back and was also injured by the Demon God Sword's evil Qi."
"At this point, Yun Ming, with his injuries compounded, was thrown into disarray. Although he forcefully repelled the Ghost Emperor, he was also struck by the opponent's Nine Ghost Soul Chasing Nails, spilling blood from his chest, and the Holy Spirit Cult members immediately launched a fierce bombardment."
Yuanen Yehui sighed with emotion: "Yun Ming was severely injured, and the outcome of the battle was decided. Long Yeyue seized the Opportunity to snatch Cai Yue'er back and immediately fled; only Zang Xin was relentlessly pursued by Ha Luosa."
Yuan En Tiandang concluded: "A grand expedition, a shameful return. Shrek Tang's prestige plummeted, and Yun Ming's title as the world's strongest was questioned; more people accused them of messing things up, otherwise, the Underworld Ghost Two Emperors would have died long ago."
"Clap!"
Feng Zaixing held his forehead, his lips and eyes twitching uncontrollably, and he uncharacteristically cursed: "Two perfectly healthy Quasi-Gods, one Half-God Zang Xin, plus Ya Li, the bane of Evil Soul Masters, were defeated by a series of schemes from two injured Quasi-Gods. Which pig-headed idiot devised this tactic!"
"To turn a crushing victory into this, does no one in the Shrek Tang group have a brain? Why didn't Long Yeyue dare to go all out against the Underworld Ghost Two Emperors! And what kind of idiot is Cai Yue'er!"
He originally thought Cai Yue'er was only good at internal conflicts, and Long Yeyue would only run away when disaster struck. Now it seems they are both incompetent in external battles!
One deserted the battle, the other got captured at the start. Just thinking about Yun Ming's situation would drive one mad.
A Ruheng sighed deeply: "The Ghost Emperor even live-streamed the tragic scene of rivers of blood and mountains of corpses in the Douling Empire, mocking Shrek Tang's defeat."
"The Federation already has citizens petitioning for a cross-sea army to conquer the Holy Spirit Cult. The Hawk Faction hasn't guided them, because no one can endure this."
"Bastards!" Feng Zaixing cursed bitterly, clenching his fists tightly, his eyes flickering.
Damn it, when he first accused Shrek of messing things up, it was somewhat of an exaggeration, but now it's truly difficult.
A cross-sea expedition carries too many variables. Unless there's specific intelligence, if two Quasi-Gods are determined to hide, who can kill them?
And intelligence—
"Capture them! We must capture Holy Spirit Cult prisoners! What Shrek Tang couldn't do, we will do!"
Clearing his thoughts, Feng Zaixing slammed the table and stood up, his dragon-tiger eyes naturally revealing their sharpness. He scanned the Douluo Star map and slowly said: "I'm going to the Blood God Legion to pull out all the Holy Spirit Cult's spies left there!"
"The Ghost Emperor kills Douling civilians, I will kill his Titled Douluo. Let's see whose sword is sharper!"
Yuan En Tiandang's expression became solemn. He earnestly said: "Don't be rash. Although your mental force is strong, it hasn't fully matured yet. You don't even have your Martial Soul True Body."
In the last bloody battle, Feng Zaixing killed Tang Yan, but that was by burning ten years of his life in exchange for doubled combat power. Can he burn his life in every battle?
"Martial Soul True Body is nothing. I already unleashed it when I was a Spirit Elder."
Feng Zaixing said calmly, strands of golden light flying from his glabella, scattering in all directions. Pure white holy radiance steamed upwards, and twelve angel warriors appeared in the air, their auras ranging from Spirit King to Spirit Emperor.
"Twelve Sacrifices, Angel God's Descent!"
Feng Zaixing shouted clearly, the six spirit rings on his body pulsating rapidly. The angel warriors formed a formation and flew, each unleashing a pillar of spirit power, forming a twelve-star array.
Within the star array, Feng Zaixing's aura surged dramatically. In a trance, his demeanor became aloof and transcendent, majestic as a mountain, like the descent of the Angel God.
Standing tall in the clear blue sky, a divine miracle manifested. The twelve-winged angel statue's divine eyes opened at this moment. The instant their gazes met, even a powerhouse like Yuan En Tiandang felt a tremor in his heart.
"With this Martial Soul True Body, Titled Douluo Evil Soul Masters are no different from ants before me. It's enough to take them down!"
Feng Zaixing spoke coldly, his eyes like those of a god. He then waved his hand, dispersing his Martial Soul True Body and returning to his usual demeanor.
The Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill was an old trick from twenty thousand years ago. He had already iterated it into a Twelve-in-One, but his previous mental force couldn't perfectly control it.
"That's true." Yuan En Tiandang changed his tone.
With Feng Zaixing emerging, the Evil Soul Masters were finished.
"It's enough to deal with the small bugs, but not enough to annihilate the Holy Spirit Cult." Feng Zaixing's expression grew serious. He looked at Yuan En Tiandang and said: "Brother Tiandang, since you are the Outer Sect Leader of my Body Sect, I, as the current Sect Master, naturally have some benefits to give you. Let's start with breaking through your limits!"
Yuan En Tiandang was stunned: "Are you serious, little brother?"
Actually, Feng Zaixing was two years younger than Yuanen Yehui, but in the Spirit Master's world, strength commanded respect, and Feng Zaixing was qualified to call him brother.
Yuan En Tiandang was only half a step away from the ultimate Realm, and a Breakthrough was a matter of time, but how long it would take was the question.
What Feng Zaixing valued was not the spirit power advancement brought by clearing the eight extraordinary meridians, but the insights gained when all eight meridians opened to connect with the bridge of heaven and earth.
"How could I joke about such a thing?" Feng Zaixing motioned for him to sit cross-legged, then sat behind him, placing his palms on his back.
"Half a year ago, your body was too depleted, and I didn't dare to use intense methods to help you Break through. Now I can. Concentrate!"
After explaining the essentials of clearing the eight extraordinary meridians to the Body Sect Disciples present, Yuan En Tiandang was greatly shocked and expressed his agreement, allowing Feng Zaixing to send spirit power into his meridians.
In an instant, warm golden Spirit light surged, illuminating half the sky. Soon, large drops of sweat appeared on both their foreheads.
After a moment, a brilliant yellow beam of light, like a rainbow, shot out from the underground hot spring cave, piercing straight through the clouds to the sky. The majestic phantom of the Titan Giant Ape rose, towering between heaven and earth.
Yuan En Tiandang, Outer Sect Leader of the Body Sect, had broken through his limits!
