Chapter 1880 - 1876: Secluded Cultivation

"But why is this? Why do I suddenly have this feeling?"

Chen Feng asked in confusion.

"Perhaps it is related to the process of you healing the Devouring Sky Python?"

The old Taoist pondered for a moment and said.

Hearing the old Taoist’s words,

Chen Feng was taken aback, then a flash of insight appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "Senior, do you mean that by constantly consuming and then replenishing True Qi, and then consuming again, in this repetitive process, I found the feeling of a breakthrough?"

"It should be so. You must know that the process of human cultivation is essentially about constantly releasing True Qi, restoring True Qi, and then releasing it again. Think carefully, isn’t it so?"

The old Taoist nodded, looking at Chen Feng, he said.

Chen Feng thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case.

From the moment an Ancient Martial Artist starts their cultivation,

it is about continuously absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, converting it into True Qi within oneself, and storing it in the Dantian.

Then, in confrontation with the enemy, releasing this True Qi, after depleting it, go back to absorb nature’s spiritual energy to replenish True Qi.

This is a cycle.

Through continuous cycles, a person also grows stronger and finds the feeling of a breakthrough, striving towards a higher realm.

So, to put it simply,

Human cultivation is a process of consuming True Qi and then replenishing it.

And last night, Chen Feng continuously supplemented True Qi from the Tianqi Holy Pearl and then transferred it back to the Holy Pearl.

In this way, he repeatedly completed this process for over a dozen hours.

This is equivalent to shortening the long process of an Ancient Martial Artist’s cultivation.

However, the principle remains the same!

It’s just that the speed of consumption and replenishment is accelerated.

This is also why Chen Feng found the feeling of a breakthrough.

Originally, Chen Feng was a bit unclear.

At this moment, hearing the old Taoist’s analysis, Chen Feng somewhat understood the significance within.

"So, the reason you can find the feeling of a breakthrough is not without cause, and you need not suspect it may be a bad thing. You just need to boldly break through, supported by the ample nature’s spiritual energy in the Tianqi Holy Pearl, you need not worry about anything!"

"What you need to do now is to breakthrough as soon as possible. If my guess is correct, you should be able to directly breakthrough to the Heaven Rank Middle Stage this time, and by that time, you will possess the power to contend with Heavenly Rank Perfection level experts!"

"This also provides an additional layer of protection for the Chen Family. With you, me, and the Devouring Sky Python, these three Heavenly Rank Perfection level combat powers, I believe that even if Mingyan Hall is a top-notch force, they would have to think twice!"

The old Taoist said with a smile.

"Alright, senior, I understand. Indeed, I was overthinking before, I will try to consider less about other matters in the future. I will go into seclusion to break through now!"

Chen Feng nodded.

"Hmm, go ahead, clear your mind. I know you’ve been under a lot of pressure recently, but when breaking through, you must do it wholeheartedly, cast aside all worries and distractions. Remember, all you need to do now is focus on breaking through and improving your strength, don’t worry about other irrelevant matters, otherwise, if you think too much, you might fall into deviation, understand?"

The old Taoist looked at Chen Feng and instructed.

"Understood, thank you for the reminder, Senior. I will certainly clear my mind first, then break through!"

Chen Feng nodded.

"That’s right!" The old Taoist nodded, then suddenly remembered the matter of materials and asked Chen Feng:

"By the way, that Tie Sect, what exactly is their situation? The materials I asked you for? Do they have them? When will they deliver?"

"I have already sent the compensation list to Tie Sect through the Chen Family people, which includes the list of materials you gave me for repairing the Flame Treasure Tower. I think Tie Sect should be preparing now, once I finish this seclusion, I will send someone to urge them to deliver the compensation soon!"

Chen Feng replied.

"Alright, do it quickly! While I have recovered now, hurry and get the materials back, I can help you restore the Flame Treasure Tower to the level of a Low Grade Divine Artifact as soon as possible!"

"With this, coupled with the strength you’ll have after breaking through to the Heaven Rank Middle Stage, even if you encounter slightly stronger Heavenly Rank Perfection level experts like Ming Kun, you can handle them!"

"Otherwise, relying solely on Heaven Rank Middle Stage strength, you can at most spar with a general Heavenly Rank Perfection level expert. If you encounter old monsters who have lived a bit longer and are slightly stronger, you won’t be their match!"

The old Taoist said with a smile.

"Then I’ll trouble you, Senior!"

Chen Feng cupped his fists toward the old Taoist with gratitude.

"Alright, no need for pleasantries, hurry and go into seclusion. We don’t know when Mingyan Hall might come knocking, you need to hurry!"

The old Taoist waved his hand.

"Senior, since you mentioned Mingyan Hall, I am still a bit worried. Mingyan Hall might send their experts over in the next couple of days, earliest today, latest by tomorrow. If I go into seclusion, I might not be able to come out for a day or two, so if they do attack, I’ll leave it to you or the Devouring Sky Python to handle. If the Chen Family is indeed in crisis, please be sure to assist!"

Chen Feng looked at the old Taoist and instructed.

"Rest assured, if the two of us see the Chen Family unable to hold on, we will naturally handle it. You should focus on going into seclusion to breakthrough. You must clear all distractions, don’t worry about the Chen Family, unless Mingyan Hall comes at us with their entire sect, sending some Heavenly Rank experts is just courting death!"

The old Taoist said with a smile.

"Then I’ll trouble you, Senior!"

Chen Feng once again cupped his hands and then proceeded towards a nearby mountain peak.

He planned to cultivate and break through at the top of the mountain.

There, he could better receive the nature’s spiritual energy within the Tianqi World.

In the presence of abundant nature’s spiritual energy, he could quickly reach the breakthrough point.

Upon arrival, Chen Feng sat down cross-legged, first taking a deep breath, clearing distractions from his mind, letting himself not think too much, and then closed his eyes, activating the Five Elements Reincarnation Technique, beginning to absorb nature’s spiritual energy, entering a state of cultivation breakthrough.

The old Taoist looked at Chen Feng from afar, nodding thoughtfully with a look of relief and said, "This young man has a promising future, even Emperor Tianqi holds him in high regard, which means he truly has an extraordinary talent. I must assist him well in the future, for the hope of Earth lies all on him!"
