Crazy Cultivation

Two gazes, almost tangible, shot from Liu Feng's eyes in an instant, illuminating the pitch-black room with a sudden flash before everything returned to normal just as quickly.

Liu Feng, of course, had no way of knowing how dazzling those two beams from his eyes had been. Somewhat surprised, he jumped down from the **.

An indescribably profound and mysterious sensation spread through Liu Feng's entire body. Though there was not the slightest light in the room, every furnishing and piece of furniture could be seen clearly, as if it were no different from broad daylight.

And the strangest change was that Liu Feng suddenly discovered his perception had improved by leaps and bounds. He could clearly sense every movement within ten meters around him. Even Turner's breathing as he slept soundly in the next room was perfectly audible, along with the chirping of insects in the corner by the window...

Not only that, Liu Feng was also astonished to find that his body had undergone subtle changes. That originally frail and skinny frame had actually grown a little taller. Though he was only of medium build now, around one meter seventy-five, one had to know that this body had not even reached one meter seventy before.

"Remolding the meridians and cleansing the marrow!" The term he had seen in countless novels flashed through Liu Feng's mind. Though it was somewhat inconceivable, Liu Feng found that only this phrase could describe his current state with perfect accuracy.

An incomparable surge of joy appeared on Liu Feng's face. It seemed there had been no mistake in his guess. This Devour skill really was effective.

At this moment, the clothes on him, which had originally been clean, were covered in filth, and a foul smell rushed into Liu Feng's nose.

This should be the normal state after the body expelled its impurities! Liu Feng pulled off his outer garment in one motion, exposing his ** chest, yet he did not go wash himself. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the floor again, suppressing his wildly joyful mood as he entered inner sight.

The moment his divine sense entered his Qi Sea, Liu Feng saw the change in that strange Crystal Core. At this moment, the Crystal Core no longer had its initial dull and lusterless appearance. Instead, it looked crystal-clear and translucent. Though it no longer had that piercing radiance, at the very least, it had gone from a stone into glass.

Strange! Why had this thing changed too? Could the changes in his body be because of this Crystal Core, and not because of the Devour skill? Liu Feng grew somewhat puzzled.

The cultivation method for the Devour skill recorded in that ancient book was actually only an incomplete technique. It contained only a simple method for absorbing energy, but there was no record whatsoever of how the energy was to be used or what effects it had. Therefore, Liu Feng did not dare be certain whether the changes in his body were due to the Devour skill.

With his doubts, Liu Feng placed his divine sense on the sealed energy. Though Liu Feng had already absorbed quite a bit of energy from within, the sealed energy was simply too dense; at this point, it had decreased by less than one-tenth.

But this was also within Liu Feng's expectations. If a seal set by a peerless Saint-rank expert could be undone in an instant, then Liu Feng would no longer be Liu Feng—he might as well treat himself as a god.

However, as long as it was effective, he was already very close to Liu Feng's goal. From the looks of it, as long as he cultivated day and night without stopping and absorbed away this obstructing energy, perhaps he could accomplish it in a month.

At the thought that, one month later, he would be rid of his identity as trash forever, Liu Feng became incomparably excited.

The energy contained within the energy mass formed by the Devour skill inside his body was already considerable. Though Liu Feng still had not found a method to use it, he believed that as long as he could open his meridians and make the medium between the inside of his body and the outside world unobstructed, then at the very least, there would be a possibility of using it.

Since hope was right before his eyes, how could Liu Feng be willing to waste time? Without another word, he began cultivating again.

Another dark night passed. The sealed energy continued to enter the energy mass of the Devour skill, and that energy mass, seemingly because of the changes in Liu Feng's body, appeared to have increased quite a bit in capacity. Even after absorbing for an entire night, there was no sign of it filling up.

In the morning, Liu Feng hastily ate a mouthful of the breakfast Turner brought in, then sent Turner out to stand guard outside the door and began cultivating again.

Although Liu Feng had grown a little taller, he was sitting on the ground, and his appearance had not changed, so the careless Turner did not notice anything abnormal. He was only somewhat puzzled. What exactly was the young master doing, getting himself so filthy and still not going to wash?

Another day passed. By the time evening came and dinner was over, Liu Feng simply instructed Turner to prepare some dry rations that could last ten or twenty days. Though Turner did not understand, he could only do as he was told.

In fact, after these two days of cultivation, Liu Feng had already discovered that because of that energy, he seemed to no longer need to eat. At the very least, he would not feel hungry even if he went three or five days without food.

But not eating at all would not do either. After all, it would easily make Turner, this loyal attendant, panic and think the young master intended to starve himself to death. So, in order to prevent meals from wasting time and to keep Turner from worrying, Liu Feng simply got some dry rations and prepared to live like an ascetic monk.

Another night, one day, another night, one day...

At this moment, the mad nature buried in Liu Feng's bones had completely erupted. His yearning for strength made Liu Feng cast aside every stray thought and immerse himself in endless cultivation, while those dry rations and clear water directly became decorations...

Days flew by rapidly. Liu Feng did not know exactly how many days he had cultivated. He only knew that at every moment, he could feel the energy inside his meridians decreasing, and decreasing again...

And Liu Feng also did not notice that his body was slowly changing at this moment. Though his height no longer increased, the muscles on his body had begun to gradually bulge. Although he was still far from those fierce and sturdy warriors, he had completely shed the appearance of the old ribs-only squad...

Inside Liu Feng's body, while the energy mass formed by the Devour skill absorbed the energy inside his meridians, it was also frantically compressing its own form. Though the shape of the energy mass did not change, its purity became much denser, and along with this change, the Devour skill also ran faster and faster.

Gradually, as the sealed energy surged out faster and faster, the energy mass of Devour had clearly compressed to a certain degree and could no longer absorb rapidly. The remaining energy began to accumulate inside Liu Feng's Qi Sea, and that Crystal Core also began absorbing again. However, its absorption speed had clearly slowed, and the result was that the energy in Liu Feng's Qi Sea began to pile up higher and higher.

Finally, when there was not much energy left in his meridians, the energy stored in Liu Feng's Qi Sea had already reached a certain limit and began to swell continuously. Along with it, Liu Feng's body also began to slowly swell.

This was not a good sign. After all, the capacity of the Qi Sea inside the human body was limited. If this continued, Liu Feng would be in danger of exploding at any moment.

But at this moment, Liu Feng had long since sunk into deep cultivation and did not notice any of this at all. He was still running the Devour skill with incomparable frenzy.

Just as Liu Feng's body was about to swell to a certain limit, the iron plate on the worn necklace over Liu Feng's chest suddenly emitted a hazy black light. Then, the iron plate suddenly let out a buzzing cry, and one after another, faint strands of glowing energy surged from inside Liu Feng's body toward that iron plate.

And as the energy poured in, the black light on the iron plate grew even more intense. The energy in Liu Feng's Qi Sea began to be frantically sucked into the iron plate, its speed so fast it left one clicking their tongue in astonishment. From the looks of it, the energy Liu Feng had absorbed over several days was, to the iron plate's absorption, merely a matter of a few hours...

Finally, after a muffled bang sounded inside his body, Liu Feng only felt his body lighten. The sealed meridians had finally been opened by Liu Feng.

At the same time, the iron plate on the necklace suddenly emitted a burst of fierce light, then slowly floated up. Immediately after, a deep, strange voice instantly entered Liu Feng's ears.

"Eight Realms of Divine Soul, Lost Island!"

Hearing this voice, Liu Feng was startled and instantly opened his eyes. But after looking around, he did not discover anyone's presence, and he could not help freezing in confusion, not knowing where this strange voice had come from.

Could he have suffered cultivation deviation and started hallucinating? Liu Feng was shocked. But before he had time to inspect his body, his gaze was instantly drawn by the scene before his eyes...
