Chapter 509: Chapter 185: Step onto the Divine Bridge, Mysterious Wind Explosion Technique!
Ang!
His mind connected with the True Dragon Temple.
Luo Cheng’s consciousness once again descended upon that enigmatic and ancient starry sky.
The starry sky was vast, the Milky Way flowing like a ribbon.
Amidst the lofty roar of a dragon, the resplendent stars around Luo Cheng all came alive, transforming into towering dragons exhaling clouds and mist, each majestic and awe-inspiring!
Each and every dragon seemed boundlessly long, coiling within the cosmos, their bodies radiant with auspicious lights, divine brilliance bursting forth. Within their immense forms, it was as if countless nations and billions of living beings resided!
One dragon alone seemed to be nurturing an entire complete world!
This astonishing scene, Luo Cheng had witnessed several times before.
Even so, he still couldn’t help but feel waves of overwhelming awe, unable to restrain himself.
The countless dragons all raised their gazes toward a dreamlike, ethereal Glazed Glass Temple!
True Dragon Temple!
Beneath Luo Cheng’s feet, a Divine Bridge forged from what seemed like Heavenly Jade Divine Marrow, shining with nine-colored divine light, spanned the starry sky, leading directly to the grand gate of the temple!
Taking a deep breath, Luo Cheng lifted his foot and stepped forward.
Buzz!
The moment his foot landed on the nine-colored Divine Bridge, an indescribable pressure surged from all directions.
In a daze, Luo Cheng felt as if he were standing within an endless deep sea, an immense oppressive force piercing through his pores into his very bones and drilling into his soul.
Luo Cheng, however, was undeterred by this pressure and continued walking forward.
He walked for over two hundred steps before finally stopping.
At this moment, Luo Cheng felt as if he were a fish thrown upon the shore, a profound sense of suffocation washing over him. Even moving a single finger felt extraordinarily difficult—he’d reached his absolute limit.
“As expected, this is related to my own cultivation realm!”
Two hundred and some steps might be insignificant compared to the entire Divine Bridge, but Luo Cheng’s heart brimmed with joy.
He remembered very clearly that the last time he stepped onto the nine-colored Divine Bridge, he could barely manage four steps before hitting his limit, nearly fainting!
This time, however, he had crossed more than two hundred steps in one go!
This was undoubtedly a tremendous improvement.
“At this rate of progress, there will come a day when I will completely traverse the Divine Bridge and reach the temple! By then, I can finally uncover the secrets hidden within this True Dragon Temple!”
“Perhaps, it will allow me to successfully cultivate my Martial Soul!”
Feeling a renewed sense of determination, Luo Cheng steadied his breathing and opened his eyes.
Taking out an Awakening God Pill to replenish his spirit, Luo Cheng began planning his next course of action.
His initial plan, after annihilating the Sun Family, was to pay a visit to the Luoxia Sect.
He intended to make use of the Luoxia Sect’s Cultivation Secret Place, the Seven-Colored Spring, to enhance his strength and break through in sword intent.
However, with the assistance of an elder Martial Soul’s will, his sword intent had advanced rapidly, rising to 70% within just a few short days!
The Seven-Colored Sword Intent would still require time for accumulation and stabilization.
Thus, heading to the Luoxia Sect at this time was clearly unwise.
Luo Cheng decided to first elevate his cultivation to the Sixth Layer Peak of Awakening Vein Realm. By the time his sword intent had stabilized, he would then go to the Luoxia Sect.
That way, he could fully utilize the Seven-Colored Spring to break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop and reach the Late Stage of Awakening Vein Realm!
“For now, I’ll set my sights on achieving the Sixth Layer Peak of Awakening Vein Realm. In addition, I’ll focus on refining my swordsmanship and the secret technique, the Mysterious Wind Explosion Technique!”
If he could flawlessly integrate the third and fourth forms of the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique, the power of Divine Wind Absolute Kill would unquestionably rise to an entirely new level!
And with the addition of the Mysterious Wind Explosion Technique!
It would be enough to elevate his strength to a new tier!
With a flash of determination in his eyes, Luo Cheng pulled out the Lingxiao Jade Token.
After a period of intense cultivation, his Soul Crystals had been nearly exhausted, and he was completely out of Blood Essence Pills.
If he wanted to break through his realm quickly, he would need more Soul Crystals and alchemy pills.
After plundering the Sun Family’s treasures, along with wealth obtained from figures like Ren Kui, Luo Cheng was now overwhelmingly rich. He had almost 250,000 Essence Energy Pills alone! More than enough to sustain his cultivation for some time.
Using the Lingxiao Jade Token, Luo Cheng contacted Luo Yao and had her prepare Four-star Soul Crystals worth 200,000 Essence Energy Pills, along with Meridian Opening Pills!
200,000 Essence Energy Pills—equivalent to an astronomical fortune of two billion silver taels!
Upon hearing this staggering figure, Luo Yao was silent for a long time before finally agreeing, though she mentioned it would take a few days to prepare.
After all, 200,000 Essence Energy Pills was no trivial amount. Converted to Four-star Soul Crystals, it would amount to nearly a thousand of them!
The Lingyun Pavilion in Linjiang City didn’t have such a large stock on hand.
They would need to allocate resources from other city branches and nearby kingdoms’ Lingyun Pavilions.
After their business discussion came to a conclusion, Luo Yao’s soft and charming laughter echoed through the Lingxiao Jade Token:
“Little one, be honest with your big sister—what have you been up to lately? I’ve heard that not long ago, the Sun Family of Wuyan City was wiped out overnight…”
“That was the Blood Nether Sect’s doing; what does it have to do with me? Besides, I’m not that little…”
Luo Cheng responded curtly, instantly withdrawing his Soul Power.
Getting the upper hand in a verbal sparring with Luo Yao was no easy feat; saying too much would only reveal more about himself.
Putting away the Lingxiao Jade Token, Luo Cheng pondered briefly before leaping skyward in a flash, heading into the distance.
He wasn’t going to Linjiang City.
Instead, he was heading toward Qishan City.
Sun Yingyang had long been a source of bitterness for his father.
Luo Cheng had sworn an oath to avenge his father!
Now that he had finally exacted vengeance, giving Sun Yingyang the punishment he deserved, it was only natural to return and share the good news with his father!
With his cultivation ascended to the Sixth Layer of Awakening Vein Realm, Luo Cheng could cover thousands of miles in a single day, surpassing even the Flame Jade Lion in speed. After only a few days, he arrived at Running Horse Plain.
Even on the road, Luo Cheng didn’t idle. He took the opportunity to further comprehend the Mysterious Wind Explosion Technique. After several days of study and practice, he began to make progress.
In the skies over Running Horse Plain, the clouds churned like waves, stretching endlessly in white expanses.
Amidst the sea of clouds, Luo Cheng attuned himself to the mystical nature of the heavenly winds, feeling their mysteries and rhythms as insights into the Mysterious Wind Explosion Technique and Essence Energy’s circulation pathways flowed through his mind.
Through repeated trials.
At last, Luo Cheng’s consciousness seemed to merge with the wind. The biting sky winds and the intent of the Mysterious Wind Explosion Technique began to harmonize within him, Essence Energy gathering along a peculiar pathway into his feet.
And then.
Buzz!
A swirling surge of Essence Energy condensed beneath Luo Cheng’s feet, emanating powerful waves of energy!
“Explode!”
Luo Cheng’s eyes gleamed with sharp light as he shouted lowly.
Boom!
The swirling Essence Energy beneath him burst abruptly, sending surges of Qi Force rippling outward, distorting the air like water.
Whoosh!
Luo Cheng’s figure shot forward, as if an arrow released from a bowstring, tearing a massive rift through the sea of clouds.
“The Mysterious Wind Explosion Technique is in the entry-level stage! What astonishing speed!”
Luo Cheng’s voice carried a mix of delight and surprise.
According to the manual, the entry-level stage of the Mysterious Wind Explosion Technique should only increase speed by roughly 10%.
For some reason, however, Luo Cheng’s speed had already been amplified by over 20% just upon reaching the entry level.
“Could it be because of my possession of Nine Dao Yuan Qi Mansions and ninefold Xuan Veins?”
Luo Cheng considered this possibility.
The Nine Dao Yuan Qi Mansions made his Essence Energy incredibly abundant.
The ninefold Xuan Veins allowed him to unleash stronger bursts of Essence Energy in an instant.
The Mysterious Wind Explosion Technique relied on sudden bursts of Essence Energy to augment speed, making this explanation the most plausible.
“If I can cultivate the Mysterious Wind Explosion Technique to the Perfection Realm, wouldn’t that increase my speed by more than double?”
“At that time, against opponents of the same realm, I could come and go as I pleased, nearly invincible!”
Luo Cheng’s heart brimmed with excitement.
Who would have thought a mere Five-star Secret Technique could have such an impressive effect on him!
“I really owe you one, Elder Ren Kui!”
“Explode!”
Whoosh!
His figure streaked like lightning, covering a thousand-meter distance in an instant, leaving afterimages in his wake, exuding an overwhelming momentum!
