Eons Venerable Lord

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he woke up, he found himself still lying in the pool, but now the pool was half gone, only an inch deep.    

    

He tried to move his body, and surprisingly found that he could move. He got up and sat up. He touched the space between his eyebrows, and his heart was filled with doubt. Then, before he could fully recover, he felt a pain in his sea of consciousness.    

    

Only then did he realize that there was a flash of light in his sea of consciousness. It slowly became clear. He discovered that the light was actually runes, the runes on the diamond-shaped stone.    

    

Runes began to arrange and combine in his sea of consciousness. In a short while, they formed a large, strange character. This character seemed very ancient, and Ling Feng had never seen it before.    

    

But strangely, he seemed to recognize this character again.    

    

"Could it be the word 'Lin'?" Ling Feng muttered thoughtfully, and then the word suddenly changed again. It turned into a small person, sitting cross-legged. Both of his hands were forming a strange seal, and then he made a seal again and again. There was no change. And with every change in the seal, Ling Feng could feel a strange energy being emitted from it.    

    

Curious, Ling Feng imitated the movements of the miniature person and formed a seal. Immediately, he felt that he had become ethereal and intangible, and a unique thought appeared in his mind.    

    

"This... this is an ethereal state! My god, this is the ethereal state!"    

    

Ling Feng had never dreamt that he would enter the ethereal state just because he had formed a seal.    

    

The so-called ethereal state was a state of enlightenment that people often talked about. In the legends, there was a powerful ancestor who sat under the bodhi tree. It was only because he had entered such a state that he instantly became a god.    

    

Perhaps the legend was a little exaggerated, but entering the enlightenment would bring unexpected benefits. Regardless of whether it was cultivation speed or comprehension of martial arts, it could be multiplied. It could be compared to an ordinary person's several days, or even several decades of effort.    

    

Ling Feng was pleasantly surprised and did not dare to delay. He knew this kind of opportunity was hard to come by, and who knew how long this state could last. Immediately, he took out the Eight Inner Hidden Gates that he valued the most and started cultivating it.    

    

He had just opened the first door of the Eight Inner Hidden Gates. Even so, it had strengthened his soul force. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to defeat the Energy Burst Stage Zhou Zilin so easily.    

    

As time passed, Ling Feng had forgotten about time. However, he could clearly feel that his soul force was constantly increasing in the center of his sea of consciousness. One rod. The spear slowly took shape. Although it was slow, it was slowly taking shape. However, it was just a little illusionary.    

    

Even so, he could clearly feel the powerful soul fluctuations coming from the spear.    

    

Ling Feng was delighted. He knew that his soul force had almost reached the first stage, the bronze grade.    

    

Soul force was extremely difficult to cultivate, but every step he took would have an inexplicable power. He could even condense his dharma idol and destroy the heaven and earth after reaching the extreme.    

    

As for the soul, it usually didn't have a form. Therefore, in order to maximize the power of the soul force, the person who cultivated the soul would have to cultivate it. They would condense their soul force into a form that they liked. Not only could this increase the defense of the soul, it could also increase the attack.    

    

For example, the long spear that Ling Feng had condensed at this moment was constructed according to the spear that he had used before. Because he liked the toughness, toughness, and Qi Penetration of the long spear, which could sweep across the land.    

    

Only when one's soul force was truly condensed into a solid form, and the color was like bronze, could one truly be considered to have stepped into the bronze level. Only when one had officially stepped into the Array Pattern Master level would one have the strength to be comparable to a True Martial Stage warrior.    

    

However, although soul force was extremely powerful in battle, it was consumed very quickly. Moreover, it was extremely difficult to recover it. If one encountered a powerful enemy, once one's soul was damaged, it would be extremely difficult to recover. That will be fatal damage. It was also because of the innate defects in one's soul force that ordinary Array Pattern Masters would not use their soul force to challenge an enemy stronger than themselves unless it was absolutely necessary.    

    

Of course, ordinary Array Pattern Masters did not need him to fight. This was because Array Pattern Master could refine pills, refine weapons, and set up formations. They all had a powerful background. There was no need for him to personally take action, especially those powerful Array Pattern Master. They would all have many powerful followers. As long as they were willing to refine a powerful Profound Artifact or medicinal pill for someone, it would be enough to get a helper that was several times stronger than him.    

    

Therefore, ordinary people were completely unwilling to provoke the Array Pattern Master. If you provoked an Array Pattern Master, it would be equivalent to opening up a hornet's nest. At the ends of the earth, the pursuit would be endless, and the loss outweighed the gain.    

    

After an unknown period of time, Ling Feng slowly opened his eyes. At this time, the pool water beneath him had completely disappeared.    

    

"Unfortunately, I'm still a little short!"    

    

Ling Feng sighed. With his current soul strength, he could at most be considered a peak tier 9 Array Pattern Master acolyte. He was ultimately unable to break through the final barrier.    

    

However, with his current soul grade, he could easily defeat anyone below the True Martial Stage. If he met Zhou Zilin again, he would not need to go through as much hardship as he did last time.    

    

"The pond water has been sucked dry. It's almost time to go out now."    

    

Ling Feng muttered to himself. Just as he was about to crush the jade plate given by Wang Heming and teleport out, he suddenly heard a sound of surprise. Then, a shadow appeared in front of him at some point in time.    

    

It was a woman wearing light clothes and a veil covering her face. Although her face couldn't be seen clearly, her curvaceous figure was enough to make all men go crazy.    

    

The woman's limpid eyes seemed to be able to attract one's soul. Even Ling Feng was temporarily lost. He was shocked and bit the tip of his tongue to wake himself up. This made the woman surprised.    

    

"Who are you?" Ling Feng looked at the girl vigilantly and asked.
