Chương 45: Rank nine connate realm!

Elder Zhang silently took Long Feng to his pavilion within the Elite court, before disappearing without a trace. The pavilions in the Elite court were almost twice larger than the inner court pavilions. Long feng didn't look for Li yu'er and Yan Jian immediately. Instead, he retreated to his seclusion room and prepared to go into seclusion. Before that, he took the Heaven absorbing jade and observed it.

It was already filled with natural energies to the brim, so he could absorb it if he wanted, but this wasn't the time. He would first strengthen his foundation before attempting to breakthrough to the Yin level. Keeping the Heaven absorbing jade beck into his void ring, he took out the Natal soul script and was about to study it when a sudden stillness descended upon the entire pavilion. The air stilled, birds flying outside above Long Feng's pavilion froze, time itself seemed to stop for an instant.

And the source of all these was a man clothed in white. His black hair flowed down to his knee and as he stood, the space around him ripped apart continuously. He was simply the epitome of true, unfathomable power. This was Wu Kong! He stared deeply into the dark skies for a long time while Long Feng stood still behind him. A long time later, Wu Kong suddenly lifted his white palm. A floating ball of light appeared above his palm.

"Infinite Immortal Soul formula. Use it for your soul power." he said calmly. The ball of light floated towards Long Feng's forehead. Long Feng inhaled deeply. From the aura of this ball of light, he could tell that the infinite Immortal Soul formula was definitely a powerful method. He was astonished at how anything Wu Kong took out was top tier. He didn't even know how to rank them. The ball of light dissipated into Long feng's forehead. The information about the formula appeared in his mind.

"Infinite Immortal Soul formula. Contains the concept of all soul cultivation. Manifests the attributes of Immortality and endlessness." The introduction made his heart speed up. He unhesitatingly dived into comprehending the actual technique. Long feng soon fell into a trance like cultivation state. He forgot the passage of time, forgot all his worries and focused on one thought, The Infinite Immortal Soul formula.

Six days later, Long feng opened his eyes. He blinked to clear his eyes and mind as he smiled. After six days of continuous seclusion, he had only comprehended an insignificant of the infinite Immortal Soul formula. Yet, the effects were amazing. Long feng's soul felt healthier and stronger than ever. His soul power could spread to a farther distance and he was able to control his soul power to create runes. He felt natural, as if him controlling the soul power was predestined.

His control was fluent, gentle and special. If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. He closed his eyes and his consciousness appeared in a weird world. The world had no natural energies but it was filled with soul power. He could sense every part of this world. In the center of this world was a plant. The plant was only as tall as Long feng's arm, but it's aura was boundless as the sea.

It had nine coloured leaves and each leaf emanated an aura second to the three massive Dragons within his dantian. He had been to this weird world before, but then, he didn't know what this place was. Now he knew. He found out from the infinite Immortal Soul formula that this was his soul world. The world within the soul. And the plant was likely to be his soul core. The slightest damage to the tree would cost his life! Every soul cultivator had a soul world, but few possessed soul cores.

Long feng's soul core was even a special soul core. He didn't know how special yet, though. He could see that Wu Kong was long since gone, returned to his Dantian. He didn't bother about that. He left his soul world and opened his eyes. After hesitating a little, he took out the Heaven absorbing jade. He was ready to use it. He only hoped that the jade had enough energy to make him reach the Yin level at once. Sensing the energy contained within the jade, he was sure he could at least reach the rank one Yin level.

Thinking of this, he placed the jade before him and began to absorb the energy within it. He began slowly and gradually increased his absorption speed. A vortex of energy was formed due to his absorbing speed. Natural energy disappeared into his dantian in copious amounts. Slowly, his strength rose. After a while, he broke through to rank nine connate level. He was now a peak connate cultivator! But he didn't stop there.

He calculated that the remaining energy within the jade should be enough for him to reach rank two Yin level! But he was soon proved wrong. Although the remaining energy was large, as he kept absorbing the energies, he noticed that his strength refused to increase. Not even a bit. He absorbed all of the energy within the Heaven absorbing jade but still, his strength remained at the peak connate level.

"What the hell?" Long feng was frustrated. He stopped and wracked his head about what could be blocking his cultivation, get he couldn't think of anything. He immediately thought of asking Wu Kong, but he could never find Wu Kong in his Dantian. With Wu Kong's strength, Long Feng would never find him if he didn't appear or reveal himself. Having no other choice, Long Feng grudgingly stood up and left the room, going for a walk while thinking of what to do about his cultivation.

"Brother feng!" Someone called out. Long Feng looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yan Jian rushing over.

"Brother feng! You are finally back!" Yan Jian asked excitedly.

"I have good news. Miss Li made a breakthrough in her cultivation. She is now a rank three Yin level cultivator.... wait a moment. You feel different!" Yan Jian spoke in one breath. Long feng slightly released his aura and Yan Jian gasped.

"Brother feng, you also made a breakthrough? This is double good news!" Yan Jian was sincerely happy for Long feng.

"You said miss Li made a breakthrough? When?" Long feng asked. Yan jian nodded.

"Five days ago. She went into seclusion immediately after joining the Elite court. She came out two days ago." Yan Jian replied. Long feng nodded. He remembered that he had an appointment with Lord Yi Ming the very next day. It was a good thing that he had woken up from his comprehension just in time. He told Yan Jian everything that happened with Elder Zhang and Lord Yi Ming and Yan Jian was astonished.

"To think you would actually become the final disciple of Lord Yi Ming, the soul cultivator of the Mortal heaven sect? Doesn't that makes your status comparable to a core disciple? Only core disciples can become Lord Yi Ming's disciples!" Yan Jian exclaimed. Long feng shrugged his shoulders.

"I have to go and practice." He said. As he turned around to return, Yan Jian stopped him.

"Brother feng, there is something you need to know. Duan tianrao spread the news of our arrival and our strength. Many Elite disciples are not happy to have a rank eight connate cultivator in the Elite court. Even the rank nine connate cultivators are very few. They more or less don't believe that you are as strong as Duan tianrao said. And they are too strong for the current us to compete against. Most of them are rank four and rank five Yin level cultivators. I myself already got bullied twice.

You have to be careful" Yan Jian warned. Long feng was quite surprised to hear that. Yan Jian was right. The current him couldn't defeat a rank five Yin level cultivator, but he could definitely defeat a rank four Yin level cultivator. And Li yu'er, with her breakthrough, would be comparable to a rank five Yin level cultivator.

"Who is the strongest elite disciple? What is his cultivation level?" Long feng asked.

"He seems to be a rank six Yin level cultivator. I don't know much about him. Just be careful" Yan Jian replied. Nodding, Long feng returned to his pavilion. He was met by two rank four Yin level cultivators waiting before his pavilion. A young man and woman. Judging by their stance and expression, he instinctively knew that they hadn't come for anything good.
