The charming shadow space is no longer the one that Tang Feng first performed with only two basin-sized spaces.
Since Tang Feng advanced to the third layer of Wu Chang Jue, he replaced the previous five yin souls with those few Tianjie high-ranking yin souls.
Currently maintaining five yin souls in space, two of which are mid-grade Tian Jie and three low-grade Tian Jie, the bird gun has changed to a cannon, becoming enormous.
Tang Feng didn't take a closer look, but he estimated that it was at least the size of his own room. So what was originally a somewhat cramped space now felt empty and spacious, and no matter how many people were added, it wouldn't be full.
Tang Feng superficially went to Qu Ting Mountain for cultivation, and naturally had to bring some daily necessities. This was different from before, it wasn't just a matter of going out early and returning late, he needed to stay in Qu Ting Mountain for a period of time.
Both Tang Fei and Lin Ruoyu raised their hands in approval. Young people should have the spirit of self-improvement, hard work, and perseverance. Although Tang Feng's talent is excellent and his progress is remarkable, he has not experienced the hardship of gradually increasing his strength step by step. This time, even if Tang Feng didn't mention it, Tang Fei and Duan Qichi were thinking of tormenting him properly to make him understand that gaining strength isn't easy, and to temper his character.
To prevent Tang Feng from encountering any unexpected situations, Lin Ruoyu specially took the time to carefully explain the division of spiritual beasts' strength to him.
Spirit beasts, just like humans, also have levels. However, their levels are planned using numbers. And he repeatedly warned Tang Feng that under no circumstances should he venture within three hundred miles of Qu Ting Mountain.
Tang Feng naturally nodded in agreement, but on the first day he entered Qu Ting Mountain, he rushed all the way and charged directly into the 300-mile range.
The entire Qu Ting mountain is enormous, and in the Li Tang Empire, it can be considered the largest mountain range. The mere three hundred miles are just its edge.
Although he had been modified, he was able to support such a long period of frantic running, and both his body and aura were somewhat greatly consumed. Tang Feng first found a safe place, made a fire, casually cooked some food to fill his stomach, then climbed up the tree trunk to meditate and cultivate for half the night with the Unstable Technique, replenishing the lost aura until he was spiritually full, at which point he opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
Risking great danger, and using all his ingenuity to obtain the Seven-Colored Divine Sword, it was finally going to reveal its true form before him. How could Tang Feng not attach great importance to this? In case it flew away like before, wouldn't all his designs be for naught? Therefore, he had to make preparations to stop the divine sword from flying away.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Tang Feng slowly took out the Seven-Colored Divine Soldier from the Phantom Space, his spirit stretched to its limits, his eyes not blinking even once, assuming a posture ready to attack at any moment.
A faint, seven-colored glow flashed, even dimmer than last time. The divine sword finally appeared in Tang Feng's hand, feeling very soft to the touch. However, this time, Tang Feng could see clearly what the divine sword looked like.
It was almost as expected, it wasn't a weapon, but rather a thin, dark-colored sleeveless inner armor that felt smooth to the touch and had a faint glow on its surface.
The moment the divine soldier appeared, the roaring beast howled again, startling the flying birds and beasts that were resting at night. For a time, all around were the sounds of birds flapping their wings, wandering in this deep mountain.
Tang Feng also felt a surge of great strength coming from his hand, this thing was actually trying to break free from its restraints, startling him into hastily circulating his Qi, firmly grasping it.
Fortunately, the force was not too strong and was still within his bearable range. After struggling for half an hour, the seven-colored light on the inner armor became dimmer and less frequent, and even the majestic roar seemed to be weakening.
At last, the inner armor was quiet again, the light dissipated, the roar stopped, and it completely calmed down.
Tang Feng involuntarily took a deep breath, but didn't relax, still maintaining the output of his aura, ready to counterattack at any moment.
Now looking back, this inner armor doesn't have any outstanding features, it's just that the material is very good and the workmanship is very fine, one look and you can tell it's from a famous craftsman.
"What, even divine weapons... have such things?" Tang Feng's face was filled with confusion. He had only heard people around him mention the top ten divine weapons a few times and only knew that Flame Day was in Qin Si Niang's hands and Water Cold was in Snow Girl's hands. As for the rest, he didn't know at all.
But this thing should be a divine weapon, otherwise how can it withstand the attack of Flame Sword for so long? Is there a defensive type of divine weapon, a defensive divine weapon?
Tang Feng was dazed for a moment, this thing was something he had secretly obtained, so naturally he wanted to hide it and not let others know, otherwise there would be big trouble, so it wasn't convenient to ask Tang Fei Xiao and the others.
But since it's a divine soldier, shouldn't it be able to recognize its master? As long as it recognizes itself as the master, wouldn't everything become clear? Thinking of this, Tang Feng's whole body became invigorated.
The entire Li Tang Empire only had two divine weapons, and they were both offensive. Unexpectedly, the one that fell into his hands was a defensive divine weapon. As for which one was better, Tang Feng couldn't be bothered to think about it, but for himself, a weapon was far inferior to a defensive divine weapon, unless that weapon was a hidden weapon.
But how exactly can we make the divine soldier acknowledge its master? Tang Feng was also completely clueless, this matter was like a big girl getting married for the first time.
Sitting on the trunk, Tang Feng pondered for a moment before taking out Tian Bing Suixing again. He lightly cut his finger and dripped a few drops of blood onto the inner armor.
Tang Feng was afraid it wasn't enough, so he deliberately shed a bit more blood and then stopped.
The fresh blood dripped into the inner shell, was miraculously absorbed by it, and surprisingly, its color didn't change at all, just like a stone sinking into the ocean, without causing any disturbance.
After waiting for about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Tang Feng couldn't help but burst into a loud scolding: "Rumors harm people so much! Who exactly spread the rumor that the divine sword can recognize its master by dripping blood? Such ignorance is actually being spouted everywhere, causing Young Master to lose almost half a bowl of blood!"
After scolding, Tang Feng also chuckled and indeed felt silly. If letting the divine weapon recognize its master was this simple, then wouldn't the outer official of Bai Di City's Shi surname have already become the master of the divine weapon? Why would they go to great lengths to suppress it? Or perhaps Tang Feng himself knew in his heart that this wasn't possible, but he couldn't help trying anyway.
After calming down, Tang Feng thought carefully again.
Since the divine soldier needs to recognize its master, then it is necessary for them to communicate with each other. Qin Si Nang also said that she can communicate with Yan Ri Jian, but Yan Ri Jian is not human after all and cannot speak like a person. The things that Yan Ri senses need to be carefully felt by Qin Si Nang and then inferred.
Communication? How to communicate? If this problem is not solved, then forget about making this divine armor acknowledge its master today!
All divine soldiers have spirituality, and with spirituality comes responsiveness. So, one can try to communicate with them using the power of their heart and spirit! Thinking of this, Tang Feng couldn't help but shake off his previous despair, and his spirits lifted.
He sat cross-legged on the trunk, Tang Feng held the inner armor with both hands, stroking it gently and carefully, just like treating his own woman, and placed it lightly on his knees, closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and tried to explore the secrets of this inner armor!
Gradually, Tang Feng entered a state similar to when he was cultivating, his mind empty and void of all thoughts, with no birds singing or flowers blooming around him, no insects chirping or beasts roaming, and all sensations from his five senses were completely blocked. At this time, if someone were to sneak up on him, they would definitely succeed easily.
Tang Feng also knew that being alone in the depths of Qu Ting Mountain, without any precautions, was like seeking death. But he had no choice, only here could he safely take out his divine weapon, and this place was just on the outskirts of Qu Ting Mountain, so it should be relatively safe.
After a while, a large snake with mottled colors slowly crawled down from the tree trunk, along Tang Feng's waist, spiraling up, wrapping around his body, and clinging to his neck, with the snake's tongue flicking only an inch away from Tang Feng's cheek.
This is not a venomous snake, but if an ordinary person were to be entwined by such a thick snake as big as two fingers, they would definitely be frightened.
Tang Feng sat there as if he didn't feel anything, motionless for a long time, slowly taking a deep breath, his heart beating with a loud thud.
After a long while, the big snake slid down Tang Feng's neck and coiled itself around the tree trunk again, slowly disappearing into the night.
For all of this, Tang Feng was completely unaware. His mind was focused on the inner armor, and he had been in contact with it repeatedly. At first, Tang Feng couldn't even feel that there was anything special about the inner armor. The thing on his hand felt just like ordinary clothes, giving him a feeling of being unable to find a place to start.
Gradually, however, Tang Feng was able to feel a faintly weak fluctuation from the inner armor, this fluctuation was very light and if one didn't pay attention, it would be impossible to detect. The frequency was also very slow, almost once every incense stick time.
Under the control of his mental power, Tang Feng imagined himself standing on a smooth lake surface as calm as a mirror. The lake was stable and still, without any movement. He stood there like a javelin, as if he would stand there until the end of time.
Suddenly, a certain part of the lake's surface appeared to be shaken, as if someone had thrown in a small stone, and ripples quickly spread out in all directions.
At the moment the vibration appeared, Tang Feng's mind was like an arrow off the string, shooting straight to the center of the ripples.
This entire imagined lake surface is an extension of Tang Feng's spiritual consciousness, and the shock that appears must be the fluctuation caused by the divine weapon interfering with Tang Feng's spiritual consciousness. As long as he grasps this shock, Tang Feng can determine that his spiritual consciousness can communicate with the divine weapon.
This is a stupid method, but it's also an extremely effective one.
As expected, when the power of the mind broke through that shock point, a vast expanse suddenly opened up before his eyes, and it was no longer impossible to explore the secrets of the divine soldiers. A large gate unfolded in front of Tang Feng! A solid gold-plated gate, the gate seemed to have experienced countless years of wind and sun, and had long been rusted, but it still stood here, blocking any visitors who wanted to explore the secrets of the divine soldiers.
