I Cultivate Passively

Chapter 122: Cultivation Jumps

Zhou Feng had already done his homework, so he easily used the teleportation formation to leave the blessed land.

It was always difficult to get in the blessed land but easy to get out.

Once he used the teleportation formation to leave, an authorized person would have to lead him if he wanted to enter the blessed land again.

Otherwise, it would be challenging to enter the blessed land again.

Thus, under normal circumstances, no one would leave the blessed land on their own accord.

The blessed land had so much Spiritual Qi and all sorts of resources only a fool would choose to leave.

Because of this, Zhou Feng left the blessed land with great ease.

'So smooth?'

Zhou Feng was somewhat surprised. No one interrogated him, nor were there any pursuers behind him.

He left just like that.

After a spell of dizziness, he returned to Mount Gu's main peak.

From the blessed land to the main peak, Zhou Feng could feel that the surrounding Spiritual Qi had become much thinner.

It even made him feel uncomfortable.

This feeling was like being in a region with fresh air for a long time, returning to a region with heavy air pollution.

Although Zhou Feng was a little uncomfortable, he still tried to adapt.

Furthermore, he did not stay any longer and directly left the main peak. He planned to find a place to rest first.

After that, he would use the Demon-Devouring Technique to swallow Chen Feng and then start harvesting souls from the outer sect.

…

At the same time that Zhou Feng left the blessed land, the evidence of his betrayal to the sect was being produced.

Gong Jiu only needed to wait for a short period to report this evidence to the higher-ups. Then Zhou Feng would definitely be unable to escape, and the threat would be removed.

However, what Gong Jiu might not have expected was that Zhou Feng was preparing to betray the sect at this moment.

He didn't even need to frame him. Once Zhou Feng's actions were exposed, he would definitely die.

This could be said to have hit the nail on the head.

…

Zhou Feng directly entered the forest, relying on his Nature Affinity.

He didn't alarm anyone, not even the small animals, and randomly found a cave to use as a temporary residence.

"Let's set up a formation first!"

Zhou Feng took a formation flag out of his storage ring and set up a crude warning formation around him. It would warn anyone who approached it, and it did not have any defensive or offensive abilities.

This was something from the Han Clan's treasury. It could be set up automatically just by activating the formation flag with Spiritual Qi.

Zhou Feng had also discovered it when he was cleaning the storage ring. Now, he could use it.

After setting up the warning formation, he took the demonic cocoon out of his storage bag.

The one inside the demonic cocoon was Chen Feng. The current Chen Feng had already been completely corroded by the Demonic Qi.

The simplest principle of the Demon-Devouring Technique was actually to corrode the enemy with the Demonic Qi.

After corroding, the enemy would transform into a special form of Demonic Qi.

At present, this special Demonic Qi was being assimilated. This was the so-called Demon-Devouring Technique.

No one knew how Old Demon Gu had mastered this strange technique.

"Devour!"

Zhou Feng circulated the Demonic Qi and transformed Chen Feng's entire body into a stream of Demonic Qi. Then, he swallowed it in one gulp.

It felt as if a bomb had been thrown into his body!

The Demonic Qi in his entire body and even his Soul Altar started to riot.

This was completely different from the first time he had used Demon-Devouring. This time, it was even more dangerous.

"This!"

The originally clear and bright Soul Altar suddenly became darker.

Some memories began to appear. 

'These are Chen Feng's memories?'

At that moment, Zhou Feng received a huge spiritual shock.

This kind of spiritual shock was testing a person's willpower. If one's willpower did not pass the test, it was very likely that these memories would assimilate them.

They might even split into a personality just like Old Demon Gu before. He had devoured too many people, developed countless personalities, and didn't even know who he was. Only a few powerful personalities took turns to control the body.

Perhaps, because Zhou Feng came from a different world, the spiritual impact didn't affect his memories as much as he had imagined.

Zhou Feng maintained a trace of clarity.

"It's finally over!"

After the somewhat dangerous process was over, it was time to reap the rewards.

"Grade-4 Soul Altar!"

Zhou Feng suddenly realized that he now had a Grade-4 Soul Altar!?

After using the Demon-Devouring Technique to swallow Chen Feng, he jumped two levels from Grade-6 to Grade-4!

Such a cultivation speed was comparable to riding a rocket.

While the others were still working hard to push forward bit by bit, he jumped two levels straight away.

As expected! An evil technique was an evil technique!

Both risks and benefits coexisted.

Zhou Feng felt that his Demonic Qi and soul power were more powerful compared to before.

The most obvious change should be the Demon-Devouring Gu!

Ever since Zhou Feng had refined the Demon-Devouring Gu into his Vital Gu, he had been able to feel its condition at all times.

Now, the Demon-Devouring Gu was extremely active and could already move about within his body. It was not limited to a single location.

The Demon-Devouring Gu even informed Zhou Feng that it had awakened an ability.

That was the possession ability!

Now, the Demon-Devouring Gu could leave Zhou Feng's body and possess someone else's body or a demonic beast's body.

After using the possession ability, it could control the enemy or bite off the enemy's heart.

The Demon-Devouring Gu now could fight independently!

'Is this the person and Gu battle prowess that I had been hearing about all this time?'

Zhou Feng had never thought that the Demon-Devouring Gu now could fight independently.

It was worth it! This Demon-Devouring Technique was worth it!

But just as he thought of this, a strange illusion appeared in front of his eyes.

His ears started to hear murmurs, constantly disturbing his mind.

Zhou Feng also felt that he was strangely angry.

Was he unable to control his emotions?

After enduring for a while, the illusion in front of him and the murmurs in his ears slowly faded away.

Zhou Feng let out a long sigh of relief. Cold sweat had already covered his forehead.

This side effect was too serious!

If this side effect was not resolved, he should use this Demon-Devouring Technique as little as possible.

The joy in his heart was also because this side effect had weakened quite a bit.

After Zhou Feng calmed down, he took another look at his Soul Altar.

'Eh? Why is the Purple Jade Bell…'

He suddenly noticed there was something different with the bell.

The originally dazzling Purple Jade Bell was dim, and there wasn't even a trace of light.

And the medicinal gourd, which was also on the Soul Altar, was squeezed to the edge of the Soul Altar.

The Purple Jade Bell occupied the most central position of the Soul Altar, constantly receiving the nurturing of the divine soul and Demonic Qi.

Recalling that the Purple Jade Bell had already begun to transform from a soul artifact into a spiritual artifact, Zhou Feng swallowed his saliva and could not help but make guesses. 

'Could it be that… the Purple Jade Bell has successfully transformed into a spiritual artifact!?'
