The Infinite Mystery

Qin Feng was surprised to suddenly regain a very small part of his strength. Although it was nothing compared to his original strength, something was still better than nothing. Qin Feng can't help but be overjoyed. At least now he can finally have a chance to survive, for he guessed what he should do to regain his cultivation base as soon as possible.

To confirm his theory, Qin Feng killed a demonic beast after moving forward for a few hundred meters, causing him to again receive another stream of spirit energy, increasing his cultivation base by one stage.

Excited, Qin Feng moved forward while constantly attacking all the strange creatures he encountered in his way. With the spirit energy inside his body, Qin Feng was not afraid of them at all.

After traveling a few hundred miles, Qin Feng encountered another skeleton. The aura of this skeleton was stronger than that person just now, but he did not have any weapons in his hands.

Seeing this skeleton, Qin Feng could not help but admire him. This man must be a horrible powerhouse when he was still alive. Seeing this skeleton, Qin Feng also had a higher understanding of the strength of the practitioners in ancient times.

As Qin Feng moved forward, strange creatures kept blocking in front of him, and the strength of those strange creatures appeared to be becoming more and more powerful.

Starting with Body Refinement Realm to Foundation Establishment and Innate Realm, and after another five days, he even started encountering Golden Core, Profound Spirit, and stronger creatures.

Of course, as Qin Feng encountered those creatures, he also kept killing them, recovering his cultivation base.

As time passed, he encountered more and more skeletons on the road, but most of them did not have weapons in their hands, only some people held swords in their hands.

Qin Feng proceeded carefully all the way, not knowing how many strange creatures were killed along the way. By the time he traveled more than 8,000 miles, Qin Feng had already regained the cultivation base of Heaven Ascension Realm.

Half a month later, Qin Feng went through fierce fighting all the way and finally walked out of the marsh of miles, and a mountain range appeared in front of him.

The mountain peaks rushed straight into the clouds, like fingers without roots, but one of them was broken. Qin Feng's face was incredible when he saw the five peaks.

It took him more than half a month to cross the mountain range even with his current strength. And by the time he crossed the mountain range, Qin Feng had become a Pure Soul Stage martial warrior.

Another two days later, Qin Feng suddenly saw a small lake in front of him. But before he could admire the lake, he suddenly felt a cold chill running down his spine. A horrifying aura locked on him. This aura made Qin Feng feel as if he was facing a great enemy.

Without any hesitation, he immediately jumped into the lake, but before Qin could touch the water of the lake, a golden light passed by.

"Puff"

Qin Feng's shoulders were penetrated as a big wound appeared there which started bleeding profusely, turning a small part of the lake red.

This lake was a frozen lake. The majority of its water on the surface had already frozen and turned into ice. But the water deep inside the lake was still in liquid form.

Reluctant to withstand another attack of this level, Qin Feng didn't turn back and desperately dived deep into the water. After he dived a distance of ten feet below, he suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold invading his body. Qin Feng knew this cold was coming from the cold water. He hurriedly protected his body with spirit energy to prevent cold air from invading.

Only after doing this did he dare to look up, and sure enough, he saw a Golden Feathered Eagle floating above the frozen lake, staring at him directly.

The Golden Feathered Eagle didn't dare to enter the lake, for the lake was too cold and it was a bird-type demonic beast which is weak in water. Looking closely, Qin Feng saw white smoke vaporizing from its body, as if its body was being eroded by some kind of power. Although it was not fatal, it still made Qin Feng desperately look for the reason.

Finally, he concluded that the cold chill energy of the frozen lake was affecting this Golden Feathered Eagle.

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Feng realized that if he wasn't hiding in the water, he would have already been dead. Because this Golden Feathered Eagle was a demonic beast comparable to a Heavenly Soul Stage martial warrior, a Late Stage one on top of that.

No wonder in the legend, it is said that even Heavenly Soul Stage martial warriors who once entered the Underworld Pit, never come out.

Qin Feng attacked the Golden Feathered Eagle several times in succession, but the effect was very small. He wasn't even able to injure the Golden Feathered Eagle.

Qin Feng now had enough. He immediately wanted to summon his Martial Spirit and realized that he couldn't summon them for some reason. It was as if some kind of mysterious law was affecting him, stopping him from summoning his martial spirit. This shocked Qin Feng, causing him to smile bitterly.

Helpless, Qin Feng decided to act crazily. He started circulating his cultivation technique, crazily absorbing the surrounding icy energy.

Although this method is a bit stupid, this is the only effective way that Qin Feng could think of in the current situation. Since the icy energy here could harm the Golden Feathered Eagle, he decided to absorb a large amount of icy energy and use them to at least fight this damn eagle.

Outside the lake, there was no energy that could be absorbed, however, inside the lake, icy energy was present.

Qin Feng began slowly refining the strange icy energy in the lake's water, absorbing that cold air into his dantian.

Today, Qin Feng's dantian was silent, and he can use only less than thirty percent of spirit energy stored inside.

Now he can only use this amount of spirit energy to slowly refine the icy energy he was absorbing. Although the process is slow, but there is no other way to do it.

When that weird icy energy was sucked into his dantian, Qin Feng felt as if his dantian was being cut by countless small knives. His face changed suddenly as he groaned in pain.

But even in pain, Qin Feng didn't stop refining this icy energy. When the icy energy was gradually conquered, they all started fusing with the rest of the spirit energy already present inside his dantian automatically.

When that icy energy started the fusion process, Qin Feng bit his teeth and bled, for his veins seemed to be shuttled by countless steel needles and the pain was maddening him.

This was the first time Qin Feng was having this kind of painful encounter with something. The icy energy that he absorbed from the lake was strange. It was completely different from any ice-attributed energy. Also, it was as if the icy energy had a mind of its own, no matter how Qin Feng tried to stop, the icy energy didn't stop the fusion. It forcefully broke Qin Feng's control over his spirit energy and continued the fusion process.

Because of the severe pain, Qin Feng's face began to distort as the blue veins on his forehead burst out, and his eyes began to bulge outward.

This pain lasted for more than an hour, but Qin Feng felt as if it has been longer than a year. After an hour, Qin Feng felt that every single of his meridians had benumbed.

What relieved Qin Feng was that the fusion of icy energy into his spirit energy was finally completed. The spirit energy inside his dantian has all transformed and gained another ice attribute. However, this ice attribute seemed to be different.

And fortunately, unlike before, Qin Feng can control these strange energies after fusion.

A satisfying smile emerged from the corner of Qin Feng's mouth. To deal with the Golden Feathered Eagle, he did not hesitate to absorb a large amount of strange icy energy and refine them. His hard and painful work had finally paid off.

Without any delay, he started circulating his cultivation technique to recover the meridians. After that, Qin Feng once again began to refine the icy energy of the lake.

As Qin Feng continued refining more and more icy energy, the water and ice in the lake became less and less in amount.

Qin Feng began to dive downwards. When he dived at fifty feet, the icy energy here became more frightening. For a moment, Qin Feng failed to endure the temperature here and almost got himself frozen. Fortunately, he could now control the icy energy inside his body. With its help, he was able to endure and continued to refine the icy energy just like before.
