Chapter 1275 - 1272: Breakthrough, Farewell Chi Wei!

As the soul power seeped into the ground, a picture unfolded in Luo Feng’s mind: a massive band of light, endless and surging through the depths of the earth.

Roar!

At the moment he sensed the white band of light, a dragon’s roar exploded in Luo Feng’s mind. Instantly, a tidal wave of oppressive feeling surged towards him, making him feel as if his head might burst at any moment.

He had experienced this feeling on Group Dragon Island before, but the sensation was far more terrifying than now. Luo Feng wanted to see the true essence of the Yuan Spirit Vein, gritted his teeth, focused, and continued to let his soul power seep into the band.

"This is..."

At the instant of seeing the band clearly, Luo Feng’s spirit trembled slightly.

Under the perception of soul power, the surface of the band was covered with scales, sharp and edged like blades, distinctly dragon scales, extending until the end of his soul power’s reach.

Roar!

At that moment, a loud dragon’s roar resonated through the space, and the immense pressure directly caused Luo Feng’s soul power to retreat like a tide.

"So the Yuan Spirit Vein is actually dragon-shaped. Could the saying that the True Martial Continent exists on a massive dragon vein be true?"

Opening his eyes, Luo Feng recalled the recent vision, his spirit startled.

All along, whether it was the enormous dragon vein supporting the entire True Martial Continent or the Divine Dragon guarding the Gate of Heaven and Earth, both existed only in legend. But today’s sightings made Luo Feng believe that these legends were not just simple myths.

Shaking his head, Luo Feng dismissed the chaotic thoughts from his mind.

Such matters were too distant for him. Thinking about them now was pointless; he merely needed to focus on one thing at the moment - how to rapidly increase his strength.

Activating the Divine Dragon Nine Changes, a moment later, Luo Feng’s face showed delight.

He sensed the presence of dragon vein energy, although much weaker compared to Group Dragon Island. But now, with no other people around, he could slowly refine it.

"Four days, I wonder to what realm I can elevate the Cloud Dragon Transformation."

Muttering to himself, Luo Feng exhaled a turbid breath, took a pill to assist cultivation, closed his eyes, and gradually entered a meditative state.

Roar...

As the Divine Dragon Nine Changes operated, dragon roars resonated from Luo Feng’s Dantian area. At the same time, faint dragon roars emerged from the depths below, echoing each other. The air formed dragon-shaped currents, swirling around the stone chamber, gradually lifting Luo Feng’s body into mid-air.

Luo Feng was wholly immersed in cultivation, oblivious to changes in the outside world.

One day later.

The dragon-shaped currents in the stone chamber suddenly entered Luo Feng’s body, and immediately, a terrifying aura erupted from him.

Opening his eyes, Luo Feng’s pupils radiated with sharp brilliance, his gaze darting like electric lights through the void.

"Dragon vein energy is indeed mysterious. In just one day, the Cloud Dragon Transformation has broken through to the seventh tier! Saving me at least a month’s hard work!"

Luo Feng’s eyes were excited, initially somewhat worried whether a medium-sized Yuan Spirit Vein’s dragon vein energy could aid the cultivation of the Divine Dragon Nine Changes, but now realized his worries were needless.

Taking another pill, Luo Feng closed his eyes and quickly reentered meditation.

The next day, the air in the stone chamber slightly trembled, forming visible ripples before calming down.

"Mid-stage of the True Yuan Realm’s third tier!"

Luo Feng took a deep breath, his expression joyful.

Yesterday, when the Cloud Dragon Transformation advanced to the seventh tier, he felt his cultivation stirring, so he attempted to break through.

The process was smoother than he imagined, breaking through to the mid-stage of the True Yuan Realm’s third tier effortlessly!

"It seems the dragon vein energy has thinned a lot."

Feeling the energy, Luo Feng stood up. Having just broken through, he couldn’t calm himself for cultivation yet, deciding to walk around outside before continuing.

Stepping through the light gate, Luo Feng’s figure appeared back in the hall where he first entered.

The hall was empty, and Luo Feng headed outside, finding Elder Hai guarding outside.

"Luo Feng, you planned to seclude for four days, why are you out after just two?" Elder Hai asked, puzzled.

Luo Feng smiled, "I’m taking a walk."

"More haste, less speed, a Martial Artist’s mindset is crucial for cultivation."

Elder Hai nodded, then chuckled, "Saying such to you might be overconfident on my part. Do you need a guide to where you’re heading?"

"No need. I’ll just stroll around nearby, won’t go far."

While speaking, Luo Feng noticed some of the flowers were wilting, casually asking, "What’s wrong with these plants?"

Elder Hai replied, "His Majesty just ascended the throne, and the Imperial City’s affairs are chaotic, it’s likely due to negligence."

Luo Feng didn’t think much about it, bid farewell to Elder Hai, then walked away.

Not far from Canglan Palace was a lake; night had fallen, a gentle breeze blowing. The lake mirrored a full moon, its surface shimmering with ripples under the night wind, the scene enchanting.

Walking by the lakeside, Luo Feng’s brow gradually furrowed.

By the lake, many trees and plants were growing. Two days ago, they were brimming with life, but now all appeared drooping.

"The Yuan Spirit Vein affects growth of all life, likely related to my refining dragon vein energy. It seems the dragon vein energy’s depletion greatly influences the Yuan Spirit Vein..."

Luo Feng became thoughtful, deciding to cultivate for two more days, then stop refining dragon vein energy.

By doing so, the Yuan Spirit Vein could quickly recover; otherwise, if he spoiled the medium-sized Yuan Spirit Vein for his own gain, he would betray the second prince’s trust in him.

As Luo Feng was contemplating, a group of people suddenly came into his view.

Leading them was a woman, tall, her graceful silhouette visible beneath her rich fiery attire. Her demeanor radiated arrogance — it was Chi Wei, the third princess of the Dali Dynasty.

Beside Chi Wei stood a gallant, handsome young man in cyan clothes, whose attire and bearing indicated a noble status. Each of them had a guard following behind.

Not intending to engage, Luo Feng turned, preparing to return to his cultivation.

"Luo Feng!"

Chi Wei, with sharp eyes and Luo Feng being unforgettable to her, recognized him immediately even from a mere silhouette.

Luo Feng paused, turning back, "Is there something you need?"

"So it is you!"

Upon seeing Luo Feng’s face, Chi Wei’s brow furrowed, speaking coldly, "Seeing me again, don’t you have anything to say?"

"Sorry, I have nothing to discuss with you."

Luo Feng shook his head, turning to leave.

"Stop right there!"

The young man in cyan was a Prince of the Cloud Rock Dynasty near the Canglang Dynasty. Having been captivated by Chi Wei’s beauty and her status as the third princess of the Dali Dynasty, he was eager to win her favor, recognizing her hostility towards Luo Feng, he wouldn’t miss this golden chance.

Stepping forward, the young man coldly said to Luo Feng, "Princess Chi Wei wants to talk to you. Come over now."

Luo Feng chose not to engage, continuing on his way.

"Insolence! Come here!"

With Chi Wei beside him, the young man felt his dignity challenged, erupting in anger. His eyes flashing, he advanced, deploying a heavy wind-infused palm technique to seize Luo Feng.
