Chapter 15: Vermilion Bird's Blazing Wings

  Shen Xiang arrived at Xianmo Cliff, looking down at the thick black death energy below, he muttered to himself: "Is there really a fairy demon in this world?"

  Su Mei Yao hummed: "Of course! Don't think that the True Martial Realm is the strongest realm of martial arts. Above the True Martial Realm, there are three extreme realms, and then there's Nirvana! After successfully achieving Nirvana, one can enter the Heavenly Martial Realm and reach an even more powerful spatial world, also known as the Heavenly Martial Domain!"

  "Not to mention the powerful worlds, just talking about the ordinary martial world we are in now is already very grand. The place you are in now has extremely thin spiritual energy, so there are very few demon beasts! And those who truly cultivate martial arts, all go to places with dense spiritual energy, where strong people gather like clouds, demon beasts are numerous, and dangers are everywhere, without a certain amount of strength, one will die in that area."

  Shen Xiang had never heard of the world of martial arts before, and this revelation left him astonished. At the same time, he also realized his own insignificance. In his previous perception, the True Martial Realm was already extremely powerful, but now he found out that there were even more realms beyond it.

  "Kid, this ordinary martial world is vast and boundless. Beyond this continent, there are many other lands, where you can also find some powerful warriors. In the endless world, there are even more hidden secret realms, which contain a large number of heavenly treasures, but also great dangers. As long as you have the strength, you will be able to witness the greatness of the entire martial world, and only then will you realize how small you are." Bai Youyou said coldly.

  Shen Xiang clenched his fist, at this moment his heart had broadened a lot, he knew that only by constantly improving his strength could he ensure his survival in the world of martial arts where strong people were as common as trees!

  He jumped down from the deep pool, with a strength of five layers of Mortal Martial Realm, and below was another water pool, so he didn't need to waste time slowly climbing down.

  "With a splash", Shen Xiang returned to the pool of water emitting white light, this deep abyss was often haunted by demonic beasts, but Shen Xiang was not afraid now, because the demonic beasts that appeared here were not very strong, and Shen Xiang's current strength was enough to cope.

  "Mei Yao sister, how do I use this Xianmo Pool?" Shen Xiang asked, stirring the strange water with his hand. Apart from emitting light, he didn't feel anything unusual about it.

  "This large group of immortal demons' pure energy that flowed out from their bodies after death, however, this energy cannot be swallowed by you, after all, it is not yours. You can only use this energy to temper your body! Temper your spirit, and the process is extremely painful."

  Shen Xiang furrowed his brow and said, "How long do I have to stay in this Xianmo Pool?"

  Su Mei Yao said: "I don't know, as long as you can't feel the pain, it's fine. You just jump down and use Taiji divine power to guide those energies into your body."

  Shen Xiang didn't say another word, took off his clothes and jumped in. He dove into the depths of the pool, where he could breathe normally, so he had nothing to worry about, and could also avoid being attacked by the monster.

  As soon as he went down, Shen Xiang began to operate the Taiji divine art. At this time, he only felt that his body was suddenly squeezed by a strange power from all sides, as if it wanted to squeeze his body into a ball, which made him extremely frightened.

  At this time, that strange energy entered his body, frantically surging in and impacting like a crash inside his body, making him feel as if his body was about to explode, the excruciating pain made him wish he were dead.

  In the Xianmo Pool, some water bubbles kept rising, and the water surface also churned up, because Shen Xiang was frantically struggling under the pool...

  It was unknown how long had passed before Shen Xiang struggled to float up from the bottom of the water pool. He lay on the edge of the pool, panting heavily and said: "Why haven't I entered the sixth level of Mortal Martial Realm yet?"

  "Do you think you can break through that quickly? You're just tempering your body now, making your entire flesh stronger, which will enhance your spirit!" Su Meiyao's voice came.

  Shen Xiang stood up, tightly clenched his fists, and indeed felt that his body had improved a lot. Although he hadn't entered the sixth level of Mortal Martial Realm, he could lay down a solid foundation.

  "How many days have I been down here?" Shen Xiang asked, he had always been dazed and confused under the Fairy Demon Pool, enduring that severe pain.

  "In just five days, the Xianmo Pool has already lost its use, but it has laid the foundation for you to cultivate the body of Xianmo!" Su Meiyao said. Shen Xiang was also secretly shocked by the body of Xianmo, and he knew that it was extremely powerful just from the name.

  Below the Xianmo Cliff, a deep abyss would occasionally erupt with a loud roar, accompanied by a faint and peculiar true energy. This energy was filled with an ancient, rustic aura that gave off an inexplicable pressure - it was the Qinglong True Energy produced by Shen Xiang's cultivation of the Qinglong Divine Technique below.

  Shen Xiang did not leave the Xianmo Cliff, but instead continued to practice below. He was seen with his upper body bare, his iron fists emitting a steady stream of cyan-colored true energy as he continuously pounded against the cliff wall, sending shattered rocks flying everywhere. His entire body was enveloped in a faint aura of true energy. After striking hundreds of times, he managed to create a small hole in the cliff wall, yet his breathing remained calm and steady, a testament to the thickness of his true energy and physical strength.

  Every time a punch is thrown, the true energy will rebound, rushing from the arm directly into the head, suddenly merging with the spiritual energy in the brain, thereby developing the brain and enhancing spiritual energy. This is also one of the ways to cultivate divine consciousness.

  Shen Xiang was practicing his skills below, and the noise was not small. The originally quiet depths were filled with rumbling sounds that echoed throughout the entire abyss.

  Two days passed, and Shen Xiang felt that his true energy was full to the brim, while his spiritual power had increased greatly. As long as he could open up a sea of divine consciousness, it would be equivalent to entering the sixth stage of "Divine Consciousness Realm", which required spiritual power and thick spiritual power to break through.

  "Ready to break through the sixth layer!" Shen Xiang took a slight breath, after two days of cultivation, he could clearly feel that his physical body had become much stronger, all thanks to the tempering in the Xianmo Pool.

  Shen Xiang sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and concentrated, circulating the true energy in his body while releasing his spiritual power, allowing the two to merge together. His spiritual power was used to sense the gate of the divine consciousness, while his true energy was used to blast open that great gate!

  The profound mind method of Taiji Divine Power guided Shen Xiang's true energy and spiritual power to find the hidden gate of divine consciousness in his soul, allowing him to quickly see a golden door as if it were right before his eyes.

  As soon as he saw the large gate, it meant that the "Divine Consciousness Realm" was right in front of him. He furrowed his brow, and with a slight movement of his mind, the green true energy suddenly transformed into a majestic and solemn green dragon. The true energy transformed into a green dragon let out a loud roar and charged towards the golden gate.

  The Azure Dragon crashed into the large gate, exploding with a loud "Boom", Shen Xiang saw a dazzling golden light, and at the same time he opened his eyes, a powerful true energy poured into his body, making him involuntarily let out a loud roar, the violent Five Elements True Energy burst out of his body, stirring up a fierce gust of wind that blew in all directions.

  "Is this the Sixth Layer of the Mortal Martial Realm?" Shen Xiang closed his eyes, feeling the thick and powerful true energy within his body, while releasing his divine sense, with all the movements of the wind and grass around him under his control!

  Shen Xiang opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "Now I can use that move, right?"

  Suddenly, a burst of flames erupted from his back, and a pair of giant wings made of flames appeared on his back, flashing with firelight, emitting waves of heat, looking just like the wings of a phoenix.

  "Vermilion Bird's Blazing Wings! Fly!" Shen Xiang burst out laughing, his blazing wings fluttering wildly. In just a few blinks of an eye, his figure vanished into the dark aura of death.

  That's the horror of the six layers of the Ordinary Martial Realm! It can control the flow of true energy through a powerful divine sense, so it won't disperse after leaving the body. That's why Shen Xiang can release his internal true energy and transform it into wings, flying freely in the air.
