Venerable Martial Emperor

Along the way, Xu Feng tried his best to use the Ghost Shadow Step to travel.    

    

However, this Ghost Shadow Step was extremely powerful, and it was a huge test to one's body. Furthermore, it consumed a lot of Yuan energy.    

    

Therefore, Xu Feng could only use the Ghost Shadow Step to travel for a distance. When his body could no longer bear it, and the Yuan energy in his body was empty, he would use the Ghost Shadow Step to travel again.    

    

Fortunately, he had already reached the Martial Essence Stage, and with just a single flash, he could reach a distance of a few hundred meters. Overall, his speed wasn't considered slow.    

    

Swoosh! When he did, Xu Feng took out the Purple Sunflower Qi Recovering Pill and swallowed it. He wanted to recover his Yuan Power.    

    

But after he consumed the Purple Sunflower Qi Recovering Pill, he discovered that with his current cultivation, using the Purple Sunflower Qi Recovering Pill to recover his essence energy was simply extraordinarily slow.    

    

In the past, two or three Purple Sunflower Qi Recovering Pill could restore the essence energy in his body to its peak state in ten minutes.    

    

But now, he had consumed over twenty Purple Sunflower Qi Recovering Pill along the way, virtually exhausting all of his stock. Only after spending half a day did he barely manage to recover the essence energy in his body.    

    

"Looks like I can't casually use the Ghost Shadow Step anymore in the future. Otherwise, if my elemental energy is exhausted and I don't have the Medicine Pill to recover, I can only wait to be slaughtered!"    

    

Xu Feng couldn't help but laugh bitterly. It seemed like increasing his cultivation base wasn't all the benefit.    

    

If the Qi Recovering Pill's effect was reduced, the effect of his White Jade Vitality Pill would also be reduced by a lot. If he was injured... he was afraid that the Medicine Pill in his body would only work on the last Red Holy Fruit fruit. Moreover, the effect was not as good as before.    

    

Currently, only the Second Grade Medicinal Pill, or herbs of the Third Stage and above could have an extremely good effect on Xu Feng. However, other than the Red Holy Fruit fruit, there was nothing else on his body.    

    

"No wonder the Martial Essence Stage Expert values the Second Grade Pill Alchemist so much..." It was only at this moment that Xu Feng understood the importance of the Second Grade Pill Alchemist to the Martial Essence Stage Expert. "If there's a chance, I must try refining the Second Grade Medicinal Pill!"    

    

Xu Feng knew that although his cultivation had already reached the Martial Essence Stage, his alchemy skills might not be able to support him refining the Second Grade Medicinal Pill. He would only know after he practiced and tested everything.    

    

However, at this moment, he clearly did not have this kind of time.    

    

After a day and night of swift movement, he appeared a little tired. At this moment, he wasn't too far from the center. He could even hear the continuous rumbles coming from in front of him. Seeing the continuous flickering of elemental energy in front of him, it was likely that the experts had already begun attacking the restrictions.    

    

And around him, there were naturally many Purple Sun disciples coming and going, and there were even people from the Profound Sect and Silky Swallow Sect.    

    

However, his current cultivation base had already reached the Martial Essence Stage, and it wasn't something that could be discovered by ordinary Martial Arts Ninth Layer warriors. He didn't want to alert the enemy, so he just ignored them.    

    

"I have to push my condition to the peak before I can go!"    

    

Xu Feng thought to himself. After that, he casually burrowed into the crown of a big tree and sat in the dense foliage. He concealed his body and began to meditate to recover his condition.    

    

Almost at the same time, three to four miles in front of him, was here. The continuous forest had disappeared, and a piece of empty land with a radius of about twenty to thirty miles appeared. Right above the empty land, a purple sun stood in the sky, and waves of spatial fluctuations emanated from it. It came from above.    

    

In the center of the open space, there was a green Light Shield that had never appeared before. This Light Shield was a thousand feet tall and ten miles wide. It covered almost half of the open space.    

    

When the Violet Sun disciples saw this Light Shield, they were all flabbergasted.    

    

This was because this open space was the center of the Purple Sun Sect, and it was also the exit of the Purple Sun Martial Arts Secret Realm. As long as they arrived at this open space, they would be teleported out of the Purple Sun Martial Arts Secret Realm.    

    

But now, this huge open space was almost occupied by a single Light Shield. It was really blocking their way.    

    

But at this moment, not a single person was standing in front of the Light Shield. Everyone was standing in the forest outside the open space, looking at the Light Shield from afar with a stern expression.    

    

In a certain direction, the Purple Sun disciples here all had cold expressions on their faces, and their auras were abnormally strong. Every single move they made was filled with the demeanor of an expert.    

    

One by one! A handsome young man with an extraordinary aura and a black jade crown on his head raised his hand and pointed towards a friendly looking young man who held a green feather fan not too far away. He shouted angrily:    

    

"Wang Zhendong, don't tell me that you're the only Martial Essence Stage Expert in your Clear Sect? I don't believe it. Quickly, call out all the experts you've hidden in the dark. Otherwise, not only will we not be able to pass through this restriction, we won't be able to take out any treasures. At that time, it will be a problem for us to get out of this Martial Arts Secret Realm!"    

    

The youth with the green feather fan only smiled in the face of such criticism. His expression was indifferent, as if he couldn't take out any treasures or walk out of Martial Arts Secret Realm was not a problem at all.    

    

He said indifferently, "Hai Qingyun, as the outer court, your Profound Sect is the number one major hall in the outer court. However, you are the only Martial Essence Stage Expert in the outer court. My sect is the weakest of the four major halls. I'm the only Martial Essence Stage Expert in the outer court, what's so strange about that? "    

    

"Hmph!"    

    

A cold snort was heard, and a flirtatious woman stood out. She looked at Wang Zhendong and raised her eyebrows. She said coldly, "Wang Zhendong, I remember that you have a brother in your family as well. His strength had always been at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer, so he didn't break through without permission. A while ago... You got another Green Spiral Pill, and you gave it to him. What about him now?"    

    

Wang Zhendong smiled and said, "I didn't expect that a useless brother of mine would be remembered by the senior sister of Silky Swallow Sect, Luo Shimann. He has enjoyed the same treatment as the great genius of Profound Wind City, young master Zhou Tengfei. It's really... I'm really happy for my younger brother, but unfortunately... My younger brother has been recalled by the family and is not here. Don't think about him anymore. "    

    

The girls of Silky Swallow Sect regarded Zhou Tengfei as their future husband. They didn't care about any other man.    

    

Wang Zhendong's words made it clear that he was mocking Luo Shimann and her Silky Swallow Sect. He was pretending to be innocent and arrogant.    

    

"You dare insult me?"    

    

Luo Shimann raised her eyebrows and grabbed with her jade-like hand. A slender willow leaf sword appeared in her hand. The light of Yuan energy flowed along the tip of the willow leaf sword. The sharp sword Qi directly minced the withered branches and leaves on the ground into pieces.    

    

"You want to attack me?" Wang Zhendong's face was still wearing a kind smile as he kept shaking the feather fan in his hand. It was exactly the same as a scholar strategist, but at the same time that he was waving the fan, the elemental energy on his body jumped, and the withered branches and leaves around his body suddenly rose into the air. They were brought up by waves of whirlwinds, flying around his body without stopping.    

    

"Alright, the few of you should stop for a moment. The Medicine Pill that my Pill Hall gave to all of you isn't for all of you to come here and fight with your lives on the line!"    

    

The chief disciple of the Pill Hall stood out and said calmly. Although he was only a half-step Martial Essence, his skill in alchemy was already at the peak of perfection. Even a Martial Essence Stage expert would consume a grade one Medicine Pill. * Hong Long...... *    

    

Not far away, the three young men, who had been silent all this while, were finally somewhat annoyed by the quarrel between these few people.    

    

One of the young men raised his foot and walked in front of them. He looked at Wang Zhendong, Hai Qingyun, and Luo Shimann with disdain. He said, "In order to break this restriction, eight Martial Essence Stage Expert must be used in eight different directions at the same time. Is your outer court so weak that you can't even find five Martial Essence Stage Expert?! "    

    

This young man had black hair that hung down to his shoulders, jet black and bright. The face underneath his hair was also charming and lovable, but his Adam's apple proved that he was a man as feminine as water.    

    

The moment the feminine man opened his mouth, he looked down on the entire outer court. Furthermore, he was the chief disciple of the outer court in front of everyone.    

    

If it was anyone else, they would definitely have been killed with a single palm from the four of them.    

    

However, once this feminine man spoke, the people present could only frown and clench their teeth, not daring to say anything.    

    

Because the unaffiliated person with the feminine man and the others were originally inner court disciples. Even though they were only the three disciples that were ranked at the bottom of the inner court, they were inner court disciples, and they possessed formidable strengths and were high and mighty existences.    

    

Hai Qingyun had even challenged this feminine man in front of him. However, the result was a crushing defeat without any suspense, causing him to only be able to stay in the outer court and not enter the inner court.    

    

Hence, when this feminine man spoke, the four chief disciples of the Outer Academy present did not dare to refute him.    

    

Only a few Half-step Martial Essence Stage Expert beside him who could not bear to look down on him... He couldn't help but cry out, and said, "Isn't it because you want to withdraw to the outer court and mention the three Martial Essence Stage Expert that should belong to the outer court to the inner court?!"    

    

The reason why the inner court disciples were able to come to the outer court was because they used the simplest method. Challenging the outer court's Martial Essence Stage Expert, and then feigning defeat, those external help disciples who were lucky enough to win... Naturally replaced their rankings, and they only dropped by a few places. Falling out of the top one hundred, they became outer court disciples.    

    

"You talk too much!"    

    

The feminine man's gaze turned cold, and he casually pointed out with his finger. Instantly, a wave of cold qi swirled up and down on his fingertip, and then it tore through the sky and crossed a distance of twenty feet before directly landing on the Half-step Martial Essence Stage Expert that was speaking.    

    

Instantly, the Half-step Martial Essence Stage Expert did not even have the chance to dodge. Instead, it was struck on the forehead by a finger. The cold air instantly spread and covered its head. When the white cold air scattered, everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air when they saw it.    

    

They could only see that the half-step Martial Essence's head had already been frozen, and his Qi had long been cut off.    

    

"Is this the strength of an inner court disciple?"    

    

The hearts of the outer court disciples present couldn't help but tremble violently, and fear appeared in their eyes.    

    

On the other hand, a trace of fear flashed across the eyes of the four Martial Essence Stage Expert from the outer court.    

    

Seeing that his move of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys was very effective, the feminine man... Only then did he continue, "This formation must require eight Martial Essence Stage Expert. This is necessary. No matter how many Half-step Martial Essence Stage there are, they won't be able to make up for the effect of a Martial Essence Stage. If we can't find that Martial Essence Stage Expert... This array formation can't be opened!"    

    

"Now, all of you better put aside your prejudices and search for opportunities and treasures. You must cultivate a new Martial Essence Stage Expert!"    

    

The experts of the four great sect halls looked at each other in dismay. How could a Martial Essence Stage Expert be cultivated in such a way? Even though this place was known as the Purple Sun Martial Arts Secret Realm, which was full of opportunities, these past few days... They had never encountered a chance to cultivate a Martial Essence Stage Expert!    

    

Furthermore, judging from the situation they were in right now, there was a place where they could cultivate a Martial Essence Stage Expert. It was a dangerous place where they would most likely die or even die. How many of them were willing to break through to the Martial Essence Stage? They were going to die just like that?    

    

Perhaps there were such people, but they should all be dead by now.    

    

"So you guys just happen to be short of a Martial Essence Stage Expert? Hehe, what do you all think of this one?"    

    

Just as the situation fell into a deadlock, a soft laugh suddenly sounded. Everyone looked over and saw a thin figure. No one knew when, but he was standing under a big tree less than 30 meters away from them. He was crossing his arms in front of his chest and looking at everyone with a smile.    

    

In an instant, the expressions of everyone from the Profound Sect and Silky Swallow Sect changed. They were surprised at first, then puzzled, but in the end, they stopped at killing intent.    

    

"Xu Feng, you are still alive!"
