Hand-fed

Mental methods of the same rank are divided into superior, middle, and inferior grades, and above these three grades, there are supreme and innate grades.

A supreme grade is not only above the superior, middle, and inferior grades, but it can even suppress others of the same rank.

"The divine abilities of the Celestial Body go far beyond this."

Seeing that the Bear Rage Heart Method had been reshaped into a supreme grade by the Heavenly Mound, Liu Chengfeng was overjoyed.

He immediately took out that piece of black stone and began to ponder it carefully.

His master had spent his entire life trying to comprehend this black stone without success; perhaps only after obtaining the Celestial Body could its mysteries be glimpsed.

Liu Chengfeng studied the black stone closely, yet he still could not make anything of it.

The black stone was covered in many intricate, complex dao patterns, but there were no cultivation runes to be found.

Refusing to give up, Liu Chengfeng used his spiritual power to activate the Sky Eye to observe it carefully.

The Sky Eye could see through objects and was incredibly miraculous, but no matter how hard Liu Chengfeng tried now, he could not see through this black stone.

What is this thing? Where exactly is the cultivation method hidden?

Exerting all his strength, he still could not see through the black stone with the Sky Eye.

This left Liu Chengfeng feeling somewhat helpless; the Sky Eye could survey the heavens and earth and break through illusions, yet it was completely useless on the black stone.

What kind of thing is so different?

Just as Liu Chengfeng was unable to figure it out, a melodious voice rang out, and a fragrance as sweet as orchids wafted toward him.

This gave Liu Chengfeng a start, and by the time he reacted, his cheap martial aunt was already pressed right in front of him, mere inches away.

Not only was the fragrance overwhelming, but he could even feel her ample chest threatening to crush him.

This cheap martial aunt was as elusive as a ghost.

"Let me take a look."

Taking advantage of Liu Chengfeng's distraction, Ye Huijian snatched the black stone from his hand.

After examining it carefully for a while, Ye Huijian could not help but frown, then she opened her beautiful eyes wide.

In an instant, the sun, moon, and stars seemed to rise and fall within her eyes, absorbing the ten directions of the world.

The sudden surge of light from her eyes made Liu Chengfeng's heart tremble.

"Little guy, this isn't some secret manual for a cultivation method."

Ye Huijian withdrew her gaze and tossed the black stone back to Liu Chengfeng.

"Then what is it?"

"I don't know." Ye Huijian shook her head and glanced at Liu Chengfeng.

"You could try smashing it."

"It's useless, it won't break."

Liu Chengfeng could not help but shake his head; in fact, his master had already tried these methods long ago.

"I'm afraid there is nothing in this world that can smash it."

Because his master had used many means, yet none could break the black stone.

No sooner had Liu Chengfeng finished speaking than the Celestial Body in his mind shook, as if expressing its disagreement.

"You speak too absolutely. You have little experience; there are still things in this world that can smash it."

The Celestial Body seemed to nod, expressing its complete agreement with Ye Huijian's words.

"If you're so capable, then you do it."

Seeing the reaction of the Celestial Body in his mind, Liu Chengfeng retorted irritably.

The next moment, with a "whoosh," the black stone in Liu Chengfeng's hand was suddenly sucked away, instantly transported into his mind.

Liu Chengfeng was shocked; he hadn't even seen how the black stone entered his mind.

In an instant, the Celestial Body raised itself high and slammed heavily down onto the black stone.

It was like two planets colliding inside Liu Chengfeng's mind, and with a "boom," it exploded within his consciousness.

Oh my god--

Liu Chengfeng spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if his mind were about to be blown apart.

The black stone, which was supposed to be unbreakable, had a tiny, grain-sized fragment chipped off by the sheer force of the Celestial Body.

At this moment, the Celestial Body did not care whether Liu Chengfeng lived or died.

It pulled up the Angry Bear Mental Method and swept up the grain-sized fragment chipped from the black stone, fusing it into the mental method.

The Heavenly Mound acted like a red-hot branding iron, pressing down upon the mental method, completely melting the grain of black stone and reshaping it with the technique.

Finally, when the new mental method appeared, a note appeared beside it: Human Scroll, Innate.

Once the task was done, the Celestial Body stopped, looking at Liu Chengfeng with a seemingly smug expression.

The Celestial Body's forceful exertion caused Liu Chengfeng to vomit another mouthful of blood, leaving him completely weak and collapsing onto the bed.

Liu Chengfeng was dumbfounded; the Angry Bear Mental Method had been mid-grade just a moment ago, but in this short span of time, it had already transformed into the innate rank.

"Innate as bone."

Ye Huijian leaned over to look at Liu Chengfeng, unable to hide her surprise.

"What happens when it becomes innate as bone?"

Liu Chengfeng had been drained of a vast amount of vital energy by the Heavenly Mound and was extremely weak.

Ye Huijian fed him a mouthful of blood medicine, which finally allowed Liu Chengfeng to catch his breath and recover his blood energy.

"Little one, the things inside your head are extraordinary."

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but cast a wary glance at Ye Huijian.

"What, afraid I'll snatch it from you? If I wanted to take it, I would have chopped your head off long ago."

"Though, chopping your head off wouldn't be of any use; it has already merged into one with you."

Ye Huijian spoke the truth so casually that it left Liu Chengfeng deeply shocked.

"You have secrets you don't want to tell your aunt?"

"Then tell me your secrets first."

"Little one, trying to negotiate with me? Keep dreaming."

"I'm not little at all, I'm quite big."

Liu Chengfeng glared at Ye Huijian with annoyance and couldn't help but glance at the ample bosom on her chest.

"Oh, my silly boy has developed lecherous thoughts."

Though embarrassed by Ye Huijian's words, Liu Chengfeng refused to back down and stared frankly at her chest.

"Go and cultivate properly."

Ye Huijian glared at him in annoyance and turned to leave.

Liu Chengfeng felt puzzled in his heart; what exactly was the background of this cheap aunt of his?

She was always acting mysterious, and the old man had never mentioned having a junior sister.

What was even stranger was that this aunt didn't stay at the Wu Dao Sect; she would just suddenly appear.

Liu Chengfeng didn't have time to dwell on it; he sat cross-legged, looked inward, and began to circulate the Angry Bear Mental Method, which had now transformed into the innate rank.

As the Angry Bear Mental Method circulated, Liu Chengfeng's blood began to surge like rivers, rushing toward the location of his dantian.

The dantian was precisely where the Blood Sea Divine Treasury resided.

Open the dantian, enter the divine treasury, and strengthen the blood sea.

As the mental method circulated, the thin spiritual energy permeating the world was also drawn into his body, merging with his blood energy and rushing into the dantian.

The blood energy and spiritual energy fused, becoming more powerful and vigorous within the dantian, roaring like ocean waves.

The mental method spun faster and faster, and Liu Chengfeng absorbed more and more spiritual energy.

At this moment, spiritual energy poured into Liu Chengfeng's body in an endless stream; at first, he hadn't noticed.

Before long, he realized something was wrong; while the innate mental method was indeed heaven-defying and could surpass those of the same rank, this was different.

The spiritual energy didn't need his mental method to absorb it; it was pouring directly into his body, as if a pipe had been inserted into a spiritual vein.

A spiritual vein? Liu Chengfeng's heart stirred. He used his Sky Eye to look and saw that the spiritual vein beneath Little Meng Mountain was pumping spiritual energy toward him.

The thumb-sized spiritual vein seemed to have inserted itself directly into Liu Chengfeng's body, eager to make him absorb even more spiritual energy.

"What is this trying to do?"

Seeing the spiritual energy delivering itself to his doorstep, Liu Chengfeng was baffled.

Countless god-cultivators struggled to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to no avail, yet here was a spiritual vein literally spoon-feeding him.

The thumb-sized spiritual vein acted like a puppy trying to please Liu Chengfeng, wanting to contribute its own spiritual energy for him to cultivate.

"You want the benefits of the Origin?"

Seeing the spiritual vein offering its own energy, Liu Chengfeng understood.

Since the spiritual energy was rushing up, Liu Chengfeng didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it, circulating his mental method frantically to strike at his dantian again and again.

Every strike caused his whole body to ache, as if he were being pierced through, but Liu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and continued to strike repeatedly.

Finally, as his blood energy grew stronger and under the constant bombardment, a roar echoed within him, and he finally broke through his dantian.

After breaking through the dantian, the gateway to the Blood Sea Divine Treasury was opened.

The mental method acted like a divine bridge, guiding the spiritual energy into the Blood Sea Divine Treasury.

Entering the Blood Sea Divine Treasury, he saw only a vast, boundless expanse.

The entire Blood Sea Divine Treasury had yet to be developed, but he could already feel the blood energy contained within it.

Inside the Blood Sea Divine Treasury lay an inexhaustible ocean of blood energy, which could be used without end and would never be depleted.

This was the wonder of the Blood Sea Divine Treasury: it strengthened blood energy and increased one's lifespan.

Opening the divine treasury and drawing in spiritual energy, Liu Chengfeng had now fully stepped into the first stage of the Blood Sea Divine Treasury.

The Blood Sea Divine Treasury consists of four stages in total.

Next would be expanding the divine treasury, merging the blood sea, and finally, after introducing true blood, one could reach the Great Perfection of the Blood Sea Divine Treasury.

Liu Chengfeng gathered his momentum and practiced tirelessly without pause.

In the days that followed, Liu Chengfeng not only cultivated the Angry Bear Mental Method but also began practicing the Three Husbands Sword Technique.

The Three Husbands Sword Technique was also an introductory cultivation method, ranked as a mid-grade human-tier technique.

Liu Chengfeng used the Celestial Body to melt and reshape it into a supreme-grade technique.

Then, he used the Celestial Body to chip off a grain-sized fragment from the black stone, fusing it with his mental method to create an innate-tier technique.

Using the Celestial Body to strike the black stone truly threatened Liu Chengfeng's life, shaking him until he coughed up blood.

However, being able to refine a mid-grade technique into an innate-tier one made such a price worth paying.

Within a short span of half a year, Liu Chengfeng pushed forward with a single burst of energy, training frantically.

Relying on his innate mental method and the spiritual energy provided by the spiritual veins, he cultivated the Blood Sea Divine Treasury to the third stage.

He had caught up to the strength of Zhou Yinfeng.

Reaching the third stage of the Blood Sea Divine Treasury in half a year—such speed, anywhere in the Green Meng Realm, would be considered the work of a top-tier genius.

Even the peerless prodigies of the Divine Dynasty would likely sigh in inferiority.

On this day, Liu Chengfeng was practicing the Three Husbands Sword Technique in the courtyard, every strike surging with majestic blood energy.

The iron sword in Liu Chengfeng's hand was a Red Iron Sword, forged from mid-grade red iron.

Although it was not a precious treasure, this Red Iron Sword would still cost one or two thousand spirit stones on the market.

The Three Husbands Sword Technique consisted of only three strikes, and every time Liu Chengfeng swung, there was a sound of air exploding.

Liu Chengfeng focused on the force of every strike, practicing it over and over again.

He practiced until every strike was perfect in both power and angle.

An innate-tier technique was already heaven-defying, and Liu Chengfeng had practiced it to perfection, leaving Zhou Yinfeng, who was watching from the side, dumbfounded.

In just half a year, he was no longer Liu Chengfeng's match; now, for Liu Chengfeng to slay Zhao Jinnian would be no problem at all.

"Take this sword—"

Caught up in the excitement of his practice, Liu Chengfeng swung his sword toward Zhou Yinfeng.

Zhou Yinfeng also let out a loud shout, his blood energy surging as he lunged forward with his hammer, every swing fierce and unyielding, possessing an unstoppable momentum.

Yet, he was still no match for Liu Chengfeng.

With a loud "bang," the heavy hammer in Zhou Yinfeng's hand was sent flying by a single strike, his web between thumb and forefinger split open, blood gushing out.

"Young Master is truly a genius; half a year of your practice is worth more than ten years of my hard work."

"It is still not enough."

Liu Chengfeng knew he was still not enough; he had to innovate a new path in the future.

The person who defeated his master, Crown Prince Li, back then was likely a being who had attained godhood.

Therefore, he had to practice even harder and make himself even stronger.

"If you want to become stronger, you must experience life-and-death trials and be baptized in blood."

Ye Huijian appeared from out of nowhere.

"There are many exotic beasts in Little Meng Mountain, including thousand-year-old ones; you should go and receive a proper baptism."

"That is exactly my intention."

Liu Chengfeng agreed; he not only wanted to go to Little Meng Mountain for baptism and tempering, but he also wanted to find Ye Xiaozhou and the remains.

He had promised to pay his respects and see them to the end.

Liu Chengfeng acted as soon as he decided; he packed his things, took the water caltrop zongzi, yellow rice wine, and sandalwood incense that Zhou Yinfeng had prepared, and set off.

"Exotic beasts, I am coming."

Liu Chengfeng entered Little Meng Mountain like a fish entering a river.

I had the flu yesterday with a low fever and felt dizzy, so I forgot to thank the alliance leaders for their support. I am very sorry. Thank you to all the brothers and sisters for your strong support; I bow in gratitude.
