Chapter 344: Chapter 344 Gong Qingqiu Breaks Through, A New Mission
Ye Feng felt helpless against the Prophet Clan.
According to the content on the murals, the Flesh Mountain Giants controlled by this clan were as large as the stars; although their specific cultivation levels were unknown, their strength was absolutely terrifying.
One smack of their palm could certainly sink the Mystique Kingdom.
This level of power was not something the Misty Sect could currently contend with.
“Such powerful beings should be dealt with by even stronger ones… for example, the owner of that gigantic skull buried beneath the Hardwood Plains, with a diameter of hundreds of miles,” Ye Feng thought to himself.
After analyzing the situation for a while, he had confirmed one thing.
The trees of the Hardwood Plains were originally quite ordinary.
However, they had absorbed a hint of the extraordinary energy from that super skull, which was why they had become so sturdy that they needed spiritual artifacts to be chopped down.
The identity of the skull was definitely not simple.
Even if it wasn’t an Ancient Giant God, it was still a super-powerful being, very fearsome.
With this in mind, Ye Feng looked around at the murals.
“The things in this place need to be recorded.”
He expended a wisp of Wind Element Spirit Energy to smoothly cut the mural from the wall, then ground the black space into powder.
Whoosh!
Ye Feng streaked through the Underground Cavern passage, returning to the ground.
“The pit must be filled in… leaving an underground passage for occasional entry,” he pondered on the method of disposal and flew nearby.
“Elder, look!”
Lan Die and Gong Qingqiu were walking through the ruins of Shuiyang City when they saw Ye Feng fly out of the pit, flicking his finger, causing massive boulders, broken bricks, and skeletal remains of Demonic Beasts to rise into the air.
In the two women’s line of sight, these materials built up inside the pit, creating a ceiling-like structure that was exceptionally hard, so much so that even those in the Element Gathering Realm would struggle to dig through it.
As Ye Feng refilled the pit with soil, it was buried, leaving only an underground tunnel a few meters in diameter on the ground.
“Sect Leader, did you find anything?” Gong Qingqiu came over and asked.
Ye Feng had a grave expression on his face.
He wanted to speak of the Prophet Clan, but after thinking it over, he decided it was a secret that, for the time being, should not be disclosed.
So, Ye Feng said, “A little something… I plan to return to the sect. You two should carry on.”
“Sect Leader, wait!” Gong Qingqiu called out to Ye Feng.
“What is it?”
“I intend to purchase the Shuiyang City Ruins and turn it into a Spiritual Medicine Garden solely for our Misty Sect,” Gong Qingqiu got straight to the point.
“I agree!” Ye Feng nodded.
He hadn’t thought of this before, but since Gong Qingqiu brought it up, if the price wasn’t too steep, it could indeed be worth buying.
Follow new episodes on the "N0vel1st.c0m".
The site was also a natural source of spiritual medicine. If it was planned and developed, it could be a great achievement for the Misty Sect for generations to come.
Whoosh!
Ye Feng stood on the White Bone Flying Sword and returned to the Misty Sect.
“Elder, when do we go back?” Lan Die, looking at Ye Feng’s receding figure, asked softly.
“No rush.”
Gong Qingqiu sat on a clean piece of lapis stone washed by the rain, watching the sun slowly sinking in the west. The warm glow spread across her face, reminiscent of the tender times of her youth.
“Flowers may bloom again, but people cannot relive their youth,” she said softly as she caressed the flourishing flowers beside her.
Then, Gong Qingqiu tapped her finger, and a two-story building appeared on the ground, where she and Lan Die began to reside.
In the days that followed, Gong Qingqiu did not cultivate.
She lived on this ruin, guarding it.
During this time, she meticulously guided Lan Die in her cultivation, teaching her spells such as “Glittering Sword Qi”, “Earth Escape”, “Vitality Bullet”, “Light Body Technique”, and “All-Dimensional Spiritual Perception”.
“I’m flying!”
Lan Die formed hand seals with both hands, her hair billowing, as she rose off the ground, able to hover one meter above it. With a light tap of her foot, she could leap more than ten meters, her movements as light as a swallow, as if she were truly flying.
“This young girl’s innate talent isn’t high, but her comprehension is very good,” Gong Qingqiu said as she watched the joy on Lan Die’s face. It was as if she saw her younger self, and she couldn’t help but smile.
Several hundred miles away.
Rip!
Risking severe injury in a life-and-death struggle, Jia Yulan managed to blast the skull of a Demi-transformed Demon Beast to smithereens with dozens of Vitality Bullets.
“Huff, huff… I finally managed to solo kill a Demi-transformed Demon Beast; that was indeed dangerous,” Jia Yulan exclaimed, looking down at her body covered with wounds, too exhausted to stand, she fell to the ground, looking up at the sky, panting heavily.
Mo Ying and Yan Ruyu walked over.
The nanny quickly began to heal Jia Yulan, her eyes filled with amazement, “Elder Sister, your strength has grown rapidly, to the point where you can solo kill a Demi-transformed Beast; that should be enough pressure, right?”
Jia Yulan turned towards her and nodded, “Yes, I feel like my bottleneck is like a candle in the wind. When I go back, a one or two-day closed-door cultivation should be enough for me to break through.”
“That’s great, then it’s my turn next,” Yan Ruyu said with a smile, her eyes shining with excitement.
Before long, the three of them set off again, looking for rogue Demi-transformed Beasts for Yan Ruyu to battle.
Time passed, and within a few days.
Gong Qingqiu and Lan Die left the ruins of Shuiyang City.
“Elder, have you resolved the knot in your heart?”
“Yes, I suppose I have!”
Gong Qingqiu looked in the direction of Cultivation Peak, feeling confident that she could pass through the fifth-floor Illusionary Realm, and possibly even reach the sixth floor.
…
A noisy valley.
Yan Ruyu kept healing herself, then clashed with the Demi-transformed python that was after her.
“Damn it, you can actually heal yourself autonomously!”
The Demi-transformed python, covered in wounds, pursued Yan Ruyu with fury blazing in its eyes.
It had battled with Yan Ruyu for hundreds of rounds, and any other cultivator at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm would have long been crushed by it.
However, as soon as Yan Ruyu got injured, she would immediately heal herself, then another Vitality Bullet, or a Spirit Disc Flying Blade would slash at the python, wounding it.
This process was extremely frustrating for the python.
High in the sky.
Jia Yulan and Mo Ying were watching the battle.
“Junior Sister Ru Yu’s combat strength isn’t high, but her endurance is her victory; winning the battle is just a matter of time,” murmured Mo Ying.
Sure enough, after grinding away for half an hour, the python was too exhausted even to flee. Yan Ruyu activated her Qingfeng Sword, bisecting it from the mouth, killing it on the spot.
“Phew! I’ve also slain a Demi-transformed Demon Beast.”
Yan Ruyu let out a breath of relief, hands on her hips, feeling tired, but due to her Life Spirit Body, she recovered quickly, soon feeling a surge of power throughout her body.
“Let’s go, back to the Sect.”
Mo Ying formed a sword with her fingers and wrapped them in Streaming Light Sword Qi, rushing toward Misty Peak.
…
The Cultivation Tower.
Gong Qingqiu reached the fifth floor.
She stretched out her hand and touched the archway before her.
Ding!
The sound of ceramics shattering echoed as a dazzling light appeared on the archway.
“Congratulations on overcoming your confusion. Please proceed to the sixth floor.”
Golden letters appeared, then quickly vanished.
Gong Qingqiu felt a surge of joy.
She followed the spiral staircase to the sixth floor and saw a treasure chest before her.
After opening it, it was empty inside.
But not long after, countless specks of spiritual light emerged, and Gong Qingqiu watched as an ancient tome appeared inside the box.
“Is this my opportunity?”
She picked up the ancient tome, found no title on the cover, and when she opened it, all the pages were blank.
“A Wordless Heavenly Scripture?”
Gong Qingqiu scratched her head in confusion, pocketed the ancient tome, and proceeded to the seventh floor.
Unbeknownst to her, the ancient tome that was stored away slowly began to reveal faint golden letters, gradually stabilizing.
Only the next time she took out the ancient tome would Gong Qingqiu be able to see the contents.
The Cultivation Tower, seventh floor.
Gong Qingqiu chose a meditation cushion near the west side.
Seated cross-legged on the cushion, she gazed into the sunset, lost in endless memories.
Unlike the younger Mo Ying, the older Gong Qingqiu preferred to reminisce about things from long ago.
In the sunset, it seemed as if the faces of her brother and countless beings from Shuiyang City passed by.
“Rest in peace,” she whispered.
“I will uphold the legacy of Shuiyang City and cultivate peacefully within Misty Sect, not letting any of you down.”
Gong Qingqiu took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
At that moment, a massive influx of spiritual energy surged out from the spirit veins of the four peaks, swirling into a huge vortex above the Cultivation Tower and funneling into Gong Qingqiu’s crown chakra.
Her Cultivation Level began to rise.
In just an hour, it was as if she had practiced for many years, quickly breaking through the barrier of the Element Gathering Realm’s fifth level, and with a strong foundation, she advanced to the peak of the Element Gathering Realm’s sixth level.
“What a powerful effect!” Gong Qingqiu gasped, feeling her spirits lift.
Unfortunately, this experience of a breakthrough could only happen once; even if one came to the seventh floor of the Cultivation Tower again, they could only look at the scenery through the window, unable to receive such benefits.
“With such a treasure within the Sect, reaching for a Two-Star or Three-Star ranking should pose no problem at all.”
Gong Qingqiu grew even more confident.
The peak of Misty Peak.
“Sect Leader, we’re back,” announced Mo Ying, Jia Yulan, and Yan Ruyu as they returned from outside.
“It’s good that you’re back,” Ye Feng nodded.
Whoosh!
Just at that moment, everyone noticed a vast amount of Spiritual Energy rising from the four peaks, pouring into the seventh floor of the Cultivation Tower.
Ye Feng stood up, smiling, “It seems that Elder Gong has successfully broken through to the Element Gathering Realm’s sixth level. You should all strive hard in your cultivation.”
“Don’t worry, Sect Leader. Our bottlenecks are already loosening, and we’re about to seclude ourselves for a breakthrough,” said Yan Ruyu and Jia Yulan in unison.
“Good, go ahead,” nodded Ye Feng.
After the three of them left, Ye Feng sat back on his seat.
And at that moment, the long-absent System quest prompt sounded.
“Ding, the Sect has detected the presence of an Element Gathering Realm’s sixth-level cultivator, initiating a side quest. Please, Sect Leader, check your missions,” it announced.
