Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Dantian Fusion (Part 3)

Just now, Shi Feng had felt the energy attribute of the Sacred Flame, which coincided perfectly with the Nine Nether Technique he cultivated, both being of Yin nature. This also happened to provoke a bold speculation from Shi Feng’s past life, the fusion of Heavenly Fire with Dantian, merging into one, making Heavenly Fire the source of Martial Arts Power.

Of course, this was merely an idea conceived by Emperor Nine Nether in the past and was never put into practice. On the whole Tianheng Continent, probably only Emperor Nine Nether, that madman, dared to have such an idea, and even now dared to attempt it.

For a Martial Artist, the Dantian is crucial; once it is destroyed, all Martial Arts Cultivation is wasted, leading to a life of disability, unable to cultivate ever again, life severed from martial arts. Even more severe, if the Dantian explodes, one dies and the martial path fades.

Shi Feng’s Dantian was now shattered by half; a high-grade medicine still had a chance to restore it, but if the Dantian was completely destroyed, even Divine Grade medicine would be in vain.

The Sacred Flame fell into Shi Feng’s half-shattered Dantian, and then the bewitching fire enveloped it, seemingly roasting the Dantian slowly within the bewitching blood-colored flame.

"Ah!" The roasting of the Dantian caused Shi Feng to cry out in pain involuntarily, his face turning deathly pale, his body starting to convulse.

"Young man, have you gone mad? You’re actually using my power to burn your Dantian!" cried out the Sacred Flame in shock. In its view, if Shi Feng’s Dantian continued to burn like this, it would be extinguished sooner or later, which was simply self-destruction.

"Hehe," Shi Feng trembled with a light chuckle, saying, "There’s no need for you to worry about my affairs!"

"You!"

Shi Feng’s expression became serious, and he said, "The power is still too weak, keep increasing it." Following that thought, the blood-colored flame burning the Dantian intensified immediately.

The pain caused Shi Feng’s body to jerk violently, he clenched his teeth tightly, his face twisted, resembling a ferocious wild beast.

At this moment, the half Dantian being burned by the blood fire suddenly began to move, with wisps of eerily white Ice Cold Power seeping out of the Dantian, meandering through the blood fire. This was the Nine Nether Power Shi Feng cultivated.

As time ticked away, Shi Feng’s ferocious face had already turned deathly pale, covered in cold sweat, his body’s spasms becoming more and more severe, looking like he was in the throes of a violent seizure.

Inside his body, the half Dantian in the bewitching flame shrank smaller and smaller, while the eerily white Nine Nether Power roaming in the fire grew more abundant.

Until the Dantian completely vanished in the blood fire, Shi Feng let out a long howl to the sky: "Fuse!"

Suddenly, the blood-colored flame at the position of Shi Feng’s abdomen transformed into a small vortex, spinning rapidly.

And the aura emanating from Shi Feng’s body was climbing steadily, with streaks of white light beginning to flash incessantly. This was the light emitted only when advancing in Martial Arts Realm, flashing seventeen times before stopping.

The commotion on Shi Feng’s side had already startled Zhang Hu on the other side, who sat on the icy surface, staring at Shi Feng with a shocked face.

Zhang Hu watched as the white light flashed seventeen times on Shi Feng’s body, which meant Shi Feng had advanced through seventeen stages in one go, from previously being a Two-star Little Warrior to becoming a One-star Martial Spirit!

Oh my God, this is simply an astonishing affair, had I not seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it even if they beat me to death.

"Ha ha, it worked!" Shi Feng laughed heartily, looking up at the sky, completely at ease. He hadn’t expected that he would actually succeed. Now, in the place where his Dantian originally was, burned a fist-sized, blood-colored flame that was bizarre and bewitching.

"Mad! Madman! I am unwilling, oh how unwilling I am! I am the noble Sacred Flame of the Blood Pattern Tribe, yet I have become the Dantian of you, an ant! My power, in the end, it is you who has reaped the benefits, damn it!" The Sacred Flame roared out in reluctance.

"Ha ha ha, just accept your fate. Following me has got to be better than being sealed here, never seeing the light of day!" Shi Feng was in high spirits.

"Young Master Feng!" Zhang Hu called out to Shi Feng gently, noting that Shi Feng had started talking to himself, Zhang Hu started to wonder if he was truly possessed.

Zhang Hu had heard talk of Evil Spirits before, entities that could steal someone’s soul and take over their body.

And Shi Feng had just advanced from a Two-star Warrior to a One-star Martial Spirit in one go. Thinking about it made Zhang Hu feel it was somewhat surreal, and he now suspected that Shi Feng might have been possessed by one of those things.

Shi Feng turned around to look at Zhang Hu and nodded, saying, "Very good, you have also successfully advanced."

Seeing Shi Feng like this, and hearing him speak, Zhang Hu breathed a sigh of relief. This demeanor, this tone, it was just like Shi Feng before.

"Heh heh." Zhang Hu gave a silly laugh, walked towards Shi Feng, and said, "How could I compare to Young Master Feng? You either don’t advance at all, or when you do, you leap up two major grades at once. How did you do it? Is there some sort of trick? Can you teach me?"

"Hmph!" Shi Feng let out a cold snort upon hearing Zhang Hu’s words, and spoke in a scolding tone, "The path of Martial Arts emphasizes building a solid foundation of strength, being steady and methodical, and gradually progressing. Don’t harbor any thoughts of sheer luck."

"Why don’t you take it steady and methodical, advancing so many grades in one go." Zhang Hu muttered to himself, then respectfully responded to Shi Feng, "Thank you for the instruction, Young Master Feng." Having accompanied Shi Feng on this journey, he felt he hadn’t been much help and had even nearly weighed Shi Feng down; however, he had gained a lot, hence his absolute awe for Shi Feng.

"Young Master Feng, what should we do next?" Zhang Hu inquired.

"I’ve just advanced to the Martial Spirit Realm, and my Realm is not stable; I need to solidify it. You will act as my protector for the time being. If anyone from the Purple Thunder Sect appears, don’t hesitate to disrupt me by force," Shi Feng said. His advancement to the Martial Spirit Realm was primarily through the fusion of the Sacred Flame as a source of strength. After the Sacred Flame burned the Lifebound Essence Fire, although its Realm had dropped and was still equivalent to that of a Martial Spirit, the power it now possessed was even less than that of the Little Warrior.

Shi Feng and the Sacred Flame were like a large cup with just a little bit of water in it, in urgent need of replenishment.

Next, Shi Feng poured out roughly five thousand Primordial Stones from the Storage Ring, piling them up like a small hill, and sat next to the heap. He began absorbing them using the Nine Nether Technique.

However, Shi Feng wasn’t only absorbing the pure Heavenly Earth Yuan Qi from within the Primordial Stones; he was also simultaneously absorbing the Ice Cold Power from the surroundings. Cultivating in this icy world wasn’t as potent as the Dark Evil Power emitted by Dark Evil, but it was still much stronger than the outer world.

If not for the existence of the Ice Evil Punishment Heaven Array, which kept the cold air from Tianmu Ice Soul Peak from overflowing, this place would have been an excellent spot for Shi Feng’s cultivation.

What exactly existed on Tianmu Ice Soul Peak, whether there were Ice Cold attribute Divine Medicines, or Martial Arts Enlightenment left by powerhouses from Ancient Times, or the Secret of Becoming a God, remained unknown to Shi Feng because of the Ice Evil Punishment Heaven Array. The Sacred Flame Assembly might have known a thing or two, but given their grudge against Shi Feng, they certainly wouldn’t tell him out of kindness.

In the future, other Martial Artists might enter this place, but with the Ice Evil Punishment Heaven Array’s presence, all the secrets of Tianmu Ice Soul Peak would become a mystery on the Tianheng Continent.
