Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 43 "Stop."

In a mansion near the Alchemist Guild in the capital of Gama, Lin Feng gazed at the energy ball that was slowly rising and falling in his palm.

"As expected, it's still too early. Nalan Jie has been suffering from the Brand Poison for at most half a year, and the amount of Battle Qi assimilated by the Brand Poison is still too small. Oh well, it's just something I got for free anyway, and this amount seems more than enough to break through to the fourth-star Battle Spirit level."

"Moreover," after merging the energy ball into his body, Lin Feng slowly walked to the window, watered a seven-colored spiritual herb with some nutrient solution, and murmured to himself, "there's also this spiritual object that enhances soul power."

That's right, it's the wondrous item that enhances soul power. Perhaps the anti-inflammatory medicine in the original story also knew about the item's effects, but after some deliberation, it was decided to use it to revive Yao Chen. After all, Yao Chen's effect on the anti-inflammatory medicine in the early stages was indeed unparalleled.

"Unfortunately, my soul power has already reached the seventh rank, so at most I can only slightly improve by one small realm. But it's better than nothing, since soul power will far surpass alchemy for a long time to come."

After tidying everything up, Lin Feng went to Qing Lin's room to check on her condition. A night had passed, and Qing Lin's soul fluctuations had nearly subsided; even Fa Ma predicted she would awaken within two days.

"Xian'er, I plan to go into seclusion this time. I'll leave Qinglin in your care." Looking at the little fairy doctor taking care of Qinglin, Lin Feng told her about his plans to go into seclusion.

"Brother Lin Feng, there's no need for such formalities. We've been family for a long time." Little Fairy Doctor stood up, gently hugged Lin Feng, and buried her head in his chest.

"Xian'er." Gently stroking Little Fairy Doctor's soft hair.

Inside the secret chamber, Lin Feng sat cross-legged, with a ball of energy slowly rising and falling in front of him.

"Let me see just how much of an improvement this branding poison, purified by the Five Elements Sealing Technique, can bring me!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, a suction force drew the energy ball into his body.

"boom"

As soon as the energy ball entered Lin Feng's body, it burst open and dispersed into streams of energy that flowed wildly throughout Lin Feng's body.

"Ha, you mere defeated opponent, why don't you surrender?"

Lin Feng's battle qi surged wildly from his dantian, driving the unruly purification energy towards the meridians through which the Five Elements Technique was circulating. Some of the energy was still not obedient, so Lin Feng immediately used his battle qi to violently disperse it, then guided it onto the correct path.

As time went by, all the energy was eventually guided into the orbit of the Five Elements Principles.

"snort"

Suddenly, Lin Feng, who was wholeheartedly engaged in seclusion, groaned and had to stop his cultivation.

"As expected, although the five completely different cultivation techniques can be used under the suppression of the Five Elements Physique, they still experience a momentary delay when faced with a large influx of external energy like this. Fortunately, we discovered it now; if we had only discovered it during combat, then..."

Thinking of this, a bead of cold sweat involuntarily rolled down Lin Feng's face.

It seems that we must find a low-level cultivation technique as soon as possible to suppress it. As for completely integrating it into a complete cultivation technique, Lin Feng said that he is just a minor Dou Ling and is powerless to do so.

"I'll continue my seclusion, but I'll have to slow down the speed of my battle qi circulation," Lin Feng thought with a hint of regret. "It seems I won't be able to see Qing Lin the moment she awakens."

Slowly closing his eyes, Lin Feng continued his secluded cultivation to break through to the next level.

The battle qi circulated smoothly within his body. Although the speed of circulation had slowed down, everything was on the right track.

Finally, at a certain moment, the aura that had been dormant on Lin Feng's body suddenly began to fluctuate violently, as if he was about to make some kind of major breakthrough.

The battle qi spontaneously began to circulate rapidly in an instant. This time, there was no stagnation, and the speed increased, eventually crashing into the dantian.

"boom"

With a loud bang, Lin Feng's aura began to rise steadily.

In the late stage of a three-star Dou Ling, and then a four-star Dou Ling, as the aura continued to rise, the speed gradually decreased.

Finally, after reaching the peak of the four-star Dou Ling realm, the upward trend seemed to have completely stopped. But then, Lin Feng's hand seals suddenly changed, and the Five Elements Technique accelerated its operation, completely ignoring the occasional pauses when it reached a certain point.

"No madness, no life! Five-Star Battle Spirit, break through!"

With a loud shout, Lin Feng's momentum, which had almost stopped rising, suddenly surged forward, breaking through to a new realm.

"call"

After his breathing gradually stabilized, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of pent-up turbid air.

"Finally, I've reached the Five-Star Battle Spirit level. Although it's not very stable, it can be resolved in just a few battles. I can also take this opportunity to familiarize myself with the Five Elements Sealing Technique."

After slowly getting up, Lin Feng stretched, his bones cracking and popping.

"I wonder how much time has passed. I hope we can get back before Qinglin wakes up."

Recalling the time when he was young, he experienced a breakthrough during a secluded cultivation session, but before he could tell Qinglin about it, the girl woke up and was jumping around in a hurry. A trace of nostalgia flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.

"Before I knew it, quite a lot of time had passed."

Pushing open the door to the secret room, a ray of blinding sunlight shone in, causing Lin Feng to instinctively raise his hand to shield his eyes.

"It seems the seclusion period will be quite long." Feeling the slight discomfort in his eyes, Lin Feng sighed, "It's only a minor breakthrough to the Dou Ling level, yet it's already taking so long. I wonder if a future seclusion will last for countless years."

After sighing, Lin Feng walked along the corridor toward the courtyard where Qing Lin was, unaware whether Qing Lin had already awakened.

When Lin Feng arrived outside the Qinglin Courtyard, he heard a series of snake hissing sounds. He wondered to himself how there could be so many snakes in the Qinglin Courtyard.

Suddenly, Lin Feng's pupils contracted sharply. "Could it be?"

"Who's spying outside?" Suddenly, a slightly seductive voice came from inside the courtyard, with a hint of questioning in its tone.

Upon hearing this person's words, and coupled with the unfathomable power he sensed within his soul force, Lin Feng already knew who this person was.

However, being questioned by outsiders at one's own doorstep is a rare occurrence, which made Lin Feng chuckle to himself.

As you slowly push open the door, you are greeted by three beautiful women, each with their own unique charm and style.

Two figures in cyan robes appeared: one mature and alluring, stirring the heart; the other a budding lotus, radiating youthful energy and invigorating the soul.

The other white figure was different from the previous two; she appeared pure and flawless, especially her slender waist, which made one want to caress her.

"Brother Lin Feng."

Before Lin Feng could carefully compare the differences between the three beauties, the small figure in green had already rushed forward impatiently and crashed hard into Lin Feng's arms.

"Brother Lin Feng, Qing Lin almost didn't get to see you again."

He quickly hugged the little one in his arms, and just as he was about to say something, he felt his clothes gradually becoming soaked. He hesitated, his expression softening, and gently stroked Qinglin's head.

Seeing this, Little Fairy Doctor stepped forward and held Qinglin's arm, offering silent comfort.

Meanwhile, another person in the room rubbed their forehead in obvious distress, looking at the three of them getting along so well, and sighed, "This is really difficult!"

The mature figure in cyan was none other than Green Barbarian, a Douhuang expert from the Heavenly Serpent Palace. At this moment, he recalled the day when he and White Fang tried to forcibly seize the Azure Scale, but they encountered the obstruction of many forces from the Gama Empire.

There are several Battle Kings alone. Of course, if that were all, she and Bai Ya could easily bring back the Holy Maiden with their combined strength.

But just as they were about to succeed, a Douhuang aura shot up from the direction of the royal family and arrived here in the blink of an eye, and the aura firmly sealed them and Bai Ya's body.

"Green Barbarian, the royal family's Nether Sea Dragon Beast has awakened!" White Fang's hoarse voice rang in his ears, making Green Barbarian even more hesitant.

Moreover, Green Barbarian's bright eyes were fixed on the direction of the Cloud Mist Sect, where an aura was rapidly approaching.

"Green Barbarian, make a decision quickly. It's not impossible to forcibly bring back the Holy Maiden. I don't believe that the people of the Gama Empire would dare to confront our Heavenly Serpent Palace head-on."

At this moment, Bai Ya, who was talking nonsense, had a mouthful of fishy smell, and his snake face was full of disdain, as if he was about to start a big war at Green Barbarian's command.

"That idiot."

Green Barbarian gritted his teeth, speechless at White Tooth, that idiot who couldn't see the situation.

Sure enough, as soon as Bai Ya finished speaking, the auras of the many Dou Wang and Dou Huang powerhouses present paused, and then they rapidly soared into the sky.

"Damn White Fang, now we have no choice but to make a move."

Just as everyone's faces were tense, ready to fight to the death, a figure who had been silent for a long time suddenly looked up.

"stop."

It's been over forty chapters and I'm only a five-star Dou Ling. I guess I've been holding back my level without even realizing it!
