Vast amounts of Spirit Qi poured into the ancient tree under the refinement of the Nine Revolving Spirit Refining Array, causing the nine fruits on the ancient tree to tremble violently.
As the bell rang out, the soul and body were both tempered, and the circulation of True Yuan within his body also increased by several times.
No one had ever been able to cultivate under the influence of the nine Body Tempering Spirit Condensing Bells, not even Great Emperors.
The True Yuan within Qin Feng's body was like a raging sea, surging endlessly, each wave stronger than the last in Qin Feng's body.
The True Yuan seemed to be going berserk, and a normal person would not be able to withstand such a violent surge of True Yuan, only exploding and dying.
However, Qin Feng had opened 18 martial veins, and his body was unprecedentedly strong. With the nine Body Tempering Spirit Condensing Bells protecting him, even such a violent surge of True Yuan was unable to harm him in the slightest.
After dozens of circulations, an endless amount of Spiritual Qi poured into Qin Feng's body. Fourth stage of the True Energy Realm!
Endless Spirit Qi, the Body Tempering Spirit Condensing Bells, and the strongest cultivation technique. With these three factors combined, Qin Feng's cultivation surged, breaking through all the way!
Forcefully raising one's cultivation like this would leave behind countless hidden dangers, and could even cut off one's future path of martial arts. Any martial artist with some common sense would not do such a thing. Of course, there were some martial artists who did not have the ability to continuously break through to the next realm.
However, Qin Feng had the Body Tempering Spirit Condensing Bells, and was constantly being tempered by the bell's chimes. Even if he continuously broke through to the next realm, his body and soul were tempered to an incomparably solid state. Even the True Yuan within his body was tempered by the bell's chimes, without any hidden dangers.
When Qin Feng opened his eyes, half a month had already passed, and his cultivation had already broken through six realms, reaching the True Element Ninth Stage!
Breaking through six realms in half a month, this cultivation speed was already shocking!
The next step was to continuously compress his True Yuan, forming a Yuan Dan in his Dantian. Once the Yuan Dan was formed, Qin Feng would step into the Yuan Dan Stage.
However, Qin Feng had opened 18 martial veins, and the process of condensing his Yuan Dan was much more difficult than that of an ordinary martial artist. The amount of True Essence required was not something an ordinary martial artist could imagine. Even with the help of the Body Tempering Spirit Condensing Bell, it would still take several months of hard work to succeed.
In half a month's time, Qin Feng had already invested 10,000,000 spirit stones. The nine fruits on the ancient tree had already grown to the size of watermelons. As they trembled slightly, the sound of bells rang out!
"I'm afraid we'll have to invest 50 million Spirit Stones in order for the fruit to mature!"
Qin Feng estimated and no longer hesitated. He threw all the remaining Spirit Stones into the Nine Revolutions Spirit Refining Array, and the Spirit Qi in the cave soared again.
Calculating the time, it was almost time for the agreement with the Beast Hall. Hopefully, the Nine Revolutions Spirit Refining Array would be able to make it in time.
At the foot of the Million Beast Mountain, Shi Kuan had a worried look on his face. After the battle at the Million Beast Mountain, the Beast Hall's final trump card was gone, and the Battle Hall was closing in on them. During this period of time, the Beast Hall had suffered heavy casualties, and there were only five or six of them left. With their current strength, not to mention the Sky Demon Road, they might not even be able to last until the Sky Demon Road opened.
Shi Kuan sighed. If that person hadn't killed the Blood Hell Beast, the Beast Hall might still have stood a chance.
"Father, the people from the Battle Hall are here again!" Shi Heng's face was bruised.
With the strength of the Battle Hall, they could easily wipe out the Beast Hall. However, what the Battle Hall wanted was the 《Sky Demon Beast Taming Art》 that the Beast Hall possessed. This was the reason why Shi Kuan and the others were still alive. They came again and again, and the Beast Hall could no longer hold on.
Shi Kuan smiled bitterly. The Beast Hall's persistence was already useless. The Beast Hall's destruction was right before their eyes. If they surrendered, they might be able to preserve the legacy of the Beast Hall. However, if they continued to resist, the Beast Hall would really disappear.
"In the end, we're still of the same lineage. If we join the Battle Hall, so be it!" Shi Kuan had already made his decision.
"Hall Master Shi, if you surrender to the Battle Hall, how will the quota for the Sky Demon Road be calculated?" Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past, and Qin Feng took off his mask.
"You … True Energy Realm …!"
Shi Kuan was stunned when he saw Qin Feng. He was actually unable to see through Qin Feng's cultivation. Didn't this mean that Qin Feng's cultivation had already surpassed his?
How long had it been? Qin Feng had actually cultivated from True Energy Realm Stage 1 to a realm higher than his? Was this man really a monster?
"How much longer until the Sky Demon Road opens?"
Qin Feng had already circulated the 《Sky Demon Beast Heart Mantra》 and converted his Zhenyuan into Sky Demon Zhenyuan. Judging from Zhenyuan, Qin Feng was undoubtedly a disciple of the Sky Demon Sect.
"Two more days!" Shi Kuan was stunned.
"Two days? Looks like I made it in time. Do you need me to help you get rid of those people outside?" Qin Feng asked.
"If you can!" Shi Kuan nodded.
The Battle Hall was well-trained, and there were many peak True Energy Realm experts overseeing it. Even if Qin Feng had cultivated to True Energy Realm Stage 7 or 8, he might not be a match for the Battle Hall.
Qin Feng punched out, causing the air to tremble. The expressions of the experts of the Battle Hall outside changed drastically.
"Be careful!" Several experts of the Battle Hall hurriedly raised their Zhenyuan barrier.
"Kacha!" However, when the Zhenyuan barrier collided with the Zhenyuan barrier, it shattered.
"Pu!" The True Energy Realm experts were sent flying as they vomited blood.
Just a single punch was enough to heavily injure several True Energy Realm experts of the Battle Hall. Moreover, Shi Kuan could clearly see that Qin Feng had not used Zhenyuan. It was just an ordinary punch. Relying on the friction between his fist and the air, he had shattered the True Energy Realm experts' Zhenyuan barrier and heavily injured them.
Shi Heng's bruised face was even more horrified. Back then, he thought that the gap between him and Qin Feng wouldn't be too big. But after a month, the gap between him and Qin Feng had grown so big that it couldn't be described with words.
"Scram!" Qin Feng shouted. The Battle Hall martial artists standing close to him actually vomited blood from the shock!
"Shi Kuan, you have guts. I'll let you off today. If you have the ability, let's meet on the way to Sky Demon!" The experts of the Battle Hall left behind some ruthless words and left with their tails between their legs.
The experts of the Battle Hall who had forced the Beast Hall into a desperate situation had actually retreated just like that. With a single punch and shout, they were defeated. What kind of terrifying strength was this?
"You … you …"
"If you have something to say, say it!"
Shi Kuan took a deep breath and asked, "You have already condensed your Inner Core?"
"Not yet. It's still too early!" Qin Feng shook his head.
Shi Kuan heaved a sigh of relief. If Qin Feng had really condensed his Inner Core, it would be too terrifying.
"Let's set off!" Qin Feng said indifferently.
The Sky Demon Road was located in the depths of the Million Beast Mountain. Back then, the Sky Demon Sect was established here. Daring to establish their sect in the Million Beast Mountain, one could imagine how powerful the Sky Demon Sect was back then.
It was a pity that after the Demon Master disappeared, the Sky Demon Sect fell apart. The experts under the sect fought for themselves. The Demon Master's disappearance was too sudden, leaving only the Sky Demon Road.
Shi Kuan only brought along his son, Shi Heng. Now, the only true successors of the Beast Hall were the two of them. It could be said that the Beast Hall only existed in name.
After entering the Million Beast Mountain, Shi Kuan and Shi Heng immediately became nervous. Before the Sky Demon Road opened, the battles at the various halls of the Sky Demon Sect were the most intense.
Along the way, Qin Feng's flying sword had reached perfection. Regardless of whether they were tier-2 or tier-3, as long as a demonic beast dared to jump out, Qin Feng would kill it with a single slash.
With Qin Feng's current cultivation at True Energy Realm Stage Nine, executing the 《Hundred Steps Flying Sword》 was a piece of cake. He didn't even need a second slash to kill demonic beasts below tier-4. Even if he encountered a tier-4 demonic beast, Qin Feng was confident that he could fight it. After being tempered by nine Body Tempering Spirit Condensing Bells, his physical body wasn't any weaker than a tier-4 demonic beast!
"It's right in front!" Shi Kuan pointed to the dense forest ahead. The layers of vines formed an impenetrable wall.
"Circulate the Sky Demon's zhenyuan, and we'll be able to enter!"
Shi Kuan stretched out his right hand. The moment the vines came into contact with the Sky Demon's zhenyuan, an arched door appeared in front of them.
Walking through the arched door, they entered a whole new world. A flight of stairs that led to the horizon. This was the only way to ascend the Sky Demon Sect.
There were already a thousand people gathered at the bottom of this flight of stairs. Dozens of people had already ascended the stairs, while the rest were at the bottom.
"Is there some kind of secret to this flight of stairs?" Qin Feng asked.
"Every step is engraved with a gravity formation. Every ten steps, the gravity will double. If you ascend a hundred steps, the gravity will increase tenfold. There are a total of 999 steps on this flight of stairs. After the Devil Lord, no one else has been able to complete the entire flight of stairs," Shi Kuan explained.
"Then how are these people going to ascend the Sky Demon Sect?" If no one could complete the entire flight of stairs, then wouldn't everyone be trapped at the bottom?
"How is that possible? When the Sky Demon Path opens, the formation on the stairs will close. This is just a stage for each hall to display their strength!" Shi Kuan explained.
Qin Feng glanced at the warrior at the very front. He had already reached the 400th step, which meant that he was currently enduring 40 times the gravity. It was already difficult for him to move.
"Xu Yi actually reached the 400th step. No wonder he's the number one in the Sword Hall. I'm afraid no one in the Sky Demon Sect can beat him, right?"
"The 400th step is already the best record in the Sky Demon Sect in the past hundred years. It's second only to Zhan Taixuan from a hundred years ago."
"Are there any restrictions on ascending the stairs?"
"Anyone below the True Energy Boundary can ascend," Shi Kuan said.
"Then I'll give it a try too!" Qin Feng walked to the bottom of the stairs.
"Who is this?"
"I've never seen this person before. Does he also want to challenge the stairs?"
"I've never heard of him. This person should be a nobody. At most, he'll be able to reach the 50th or 60th step!"
Qin Feng loosened his muscles on the stairs. His knees slightly bent, and his body soared into the sky.
Shi Kuan's eyes widened. "He's going to jump!"
"Tch, another one looking for death!" The warriors at the bottom of the stairs couldn't help but laugh. They wanted to see how this kid would die.
On the top of the mountain, many of the Sky Demon Sect's warriors couldn't help but shake their heads. There had been warriors who had tried this before, but the result was that their bodies had exploded and they had died.
This flight of stairs had to be climbed step by step. Only by doing so could one's body adapt to the abnormal gravity. If one suddenly endured the gravity that was several times or even dozens of times stronger, one's internal organs would be crushed and all the bones in one's body would be crushed.
"Another one is going to die!"
