Fishing the Myriad Heavens Chapter 297

Seeing that the swarm had stopped following him, Bei Feng sent the flying dagger to dig a three meter deep and two meter wide hole atop the dried riverbed. Then, after sealing the entrance of the roughly made cave, he placed a piece of Lava Python gall in his mouth and fell into unconsciousness.

The few minutes of action had left him in a state similar to a lamp with its oil burnt out. Bei Feng was originally carrying some wounds, so him using his full strength again so explosively caused his mental power to be drained completely!

With the addition of that sudden blast of blood and Qi energy from the tomb, it was already very fortunate that he was not killed on the spot. Now that he could finally let his guard down, Bei Feng's body was unable to withstand the fatigue any further.

Time flowed by in the outside world as Bei Feng lay in the dark cave. After an indeterminable amount of time, he finally awoke.

'I've lost greatly this time around.'

Bei Feng shook his head bitterly as he probed his body with his perception.

The blood and Qi energy in his body was dried up, and fine cracks had even appeared on his tempered bones, as if they would break apart at any time!

The dual apertures which were originally filled with blood and Qi only had a thin layer of energy left within them. Even using his mental power to inspect his own body for a short moment caused his exhausted mental power to dry up!

If light was visible in the dark cave, one would be able to see the huge droplets of sweat on Bei Feng's brows after using his mental power for a short moment!

He felt as if countless needles were stabbing into his consciousness, causing him to be unable to muster up any mental power at all!

Forcefully enduring the pain in his head, Bei Feng sent a wisp of mental power to his spatial ring and took out about a dozen Grade 5 Lave Python galls and swallowed one.

The crimson python gall slid down his gullet into his stomach.

His powerful digestive acid quickly easily eroded the python gall, turning it into a jade-green liquid!

Large amounts of energy were refined from that liquid and carried by his frail blood and Qi into every part of his body!

A faint light began to appear on Bei Feng's body, illuminating a small area about one chi around him.

His body was nearly completely sapped of blood and Qi energy. He was also carrying plenty of internal injuries. Right now, his blood and Qi was circulating as lethargically as an old cow dragging a heavy cart.

The Grade 5 Lava Python gall began to replenish his blood and Qi, allowing his arid and parched body to grow stronger again. Although the link between blood and Qi and mental power was not very obvious to the naked eye, they were actually intricately connected. As his blood and Qi grew stronger, Bei Feng's mental power began to recover as well!

Bei Feng was like a nearly died out well, and the energy from the lava python gall was the timely rain from the heavens or an underground spring, allowing the parched well to have a chance at revival!

It wasn't clear how much time had passed, but Bei Feng only knew that the dozen lava python galls he took out were all used up.

There was no concept of time in the darkness of the cave. Bei Feng concentrated fully on the internal injuries in his body, and would simply sleep whenever he fell exhausted.

"Hou!"

At this time, in the ruins of the collapsed palace, a shocking roar suddenly rang out, lasting for a long time!

Following that, a vast portion of the structures crumbled and burst apart, sending debris flying everywhere! It was like a huge bomb had exploded in the middle of the ruins!

Dust hung thickly in he air, and something could be seen fleeting through the dust cloud occasionally.

After some time, the dust cloud began to swirl rapidly, revealing a human figure in its midst.

This was Qin Wufa who had consumed the Icy Frost Fruit. His appearance now meant that he had successfully broken through to the Controlled Dan realm!

Qin Wufa now had the appearance of a 20-something-year-old youth. The only thing that did not match his youthful looks was the hint of age and experience in his eyes.

The enormous dust cloud swirled even quicker, shrinking in on itself and disappearing into a gray ball the size of skull in Qin Wufa's outstretched palm.

'How Bei Feng is right now? No matter what, I must not let the news about his sword-controlling technique spread to the outside world, even if I have to kill everyone in here!'

Qin Wufa did not pay any attention to the changes to his body upon reaching the Controlled Dan realm. Instead, the first thing he thought of as soon as he came out was Bei Feng's well being.

After determining a direction, he shot off and disappeared.

As for Bei Feng, his body had recovered from the injuries after a long period of recuperation. His bones had been mended, and were as strong as steel again!

His blood and Qi was also akin to a ferocious beast, capable of erupting with shocking strength at any moment!

His mental power had progressed, improving qualitatively! The draining of his mental power and replenishing it again seemed to have allowed him to break through a bottleneck, triggering a great change!

"Crackle!"

A series of explosive sounds emanated from Bei Feng's body as he stood up. His cultivation had reached the peak of Xiantian mid stage and at this point, there was nothing he could except to make a breakthrough.

'I'll charge into Xiantian late stage in one go!'

Bei Feng steadied his mind. He discovered that his control over his strength had improved by an entire level. His blood and Qi flowed in accordance with his mind, and his mental power had also grown stronger, allowing him greater control over his body!

Bei Feng raised his blood and Qi energy to the peak, and his blood began to surge like a mighty river. The Qi in his dual apertures also began to tremble powerfully!

Gathering his blood and Qi together and guiding it to gush forth with incredible momentum, Bei Feng sent the blood and Qi towards the hidden aperture on his right leg! In an instant, a huge barrier appeared before the aperture, blocking the blood and Qi!

An explosive booming sound rumbled from his body as the blood and Qi slammed into the barrier, causing Bei Feng's leg to tremble uncontrollably. A sharp pain which seemed to bore straight into his heart shot through his right leg.

Bei Feng guided the blood and Qi to slam into the barrier repeatedly, hoping to break past it in one go. But although the barrier shook violently, it still remained intact in the end!

'I failed.'

Bei Feng shook his head lightly and sighed. The pressure on his blood vessel was too heavy to continue besieging the barrier.

It seems like his only choice was to rely on wearing the barrier down over time like how a trickling stream could drill a hole through a mountain.

From this, one could easily tell just how hard it was to cultivate as a body refining Xiantian Lord. A shocking amount of resources were needed, and every breakthrough was so difficult that it would stifle the majority of normal Qi refining cultivators!

But despite this, Bei Feng did not lose heart, nor had he ever considered switching to cultivating Qi!

If he wanted to switch to cultivating Qi right now, his advance would be meteoric given his Xiantian body and the support of his vast amount of resources.

But Bei Feng did not even consider such an option. Qi refiners mainly used the Zhenqi in their bodies to control the Heaven and Earth Ling Qi in the environment. Although it was very strong, strictly speaking, the strength could not be said to belong to oneself.

From the time he started cultivating, he had witnessed the changes to his own body. And being able to see himself growing stronger and stronger was an incredibly marvelous feeling that cultivating Qi was unable to provide him with.

To Bei Feng, only the power gained from cultivating one's body could be considered as belonging to oneself. This was a strength that nobody could take away!

"Rumble!"

The entrance of the cave which had been sealed for so long crumbled apart at this moment and fell into the dark river below. Bei Feng's figure finally emerged.

As he listened to the roar of the underground river below, he felt a strange feeling like he had been resurrected from the dead.

'I wonder how much time has passed outside.'

Bei Feng stepped off the cliff as a snow-white wing appeared behind his back, allowing him to glide away into the distance.
