Cultivating the Fireball Technique! Transcendent State

Chen Feng sat down in front of Lin Wei and said:

"You should know that I bought a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. I conducted an initial experiment on an animal today and found that the chamber really can help living creatures absorb radiation quickly, but some problems came up."

Chen Feng could only use an animal as a stand-in for himself. He couldn't possibly tell Lin Wei that he had been absorbing Spiritual Qi.

Lin Wei immediately asked, "What problems?"

"The radiation improved every aspect of the animal's body, but it also spread throughout his body and caused it to mutate," Chen Feng explained.

After hearing Chen Feng's description, Lin Wei was somewhat surprised. Then she said:

"Although I don't know what kind of radiation you had the animal absorb, I don't think it was radiation. It should be a special kind of energy."

Chen Feng looked at Lin Wei in surprise. The woman had known it wasn't radiation from his brief description alone.

"I think there are two possible explanations for the phenomenon you described."

"First, the pressure and oxygen concentration in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber were too high, causing the animal to absorb too much of that energy. And it wasn't absorbed by just one part of the body; every part was absorbing it."

"Do you remember when I mentioned the Carboniferous period? The plants and animals of that period were different from humans. Many of them didn't have lungs and relied on other parts of their bodies to absorb large amounts of oxygen."

"As for the second possibility, the environment where you used the hyperbaric oxygen chamber may already have had an extremely high oxygen concentration, so the chamber had a greater effect than it would in an ordinary environment."

Lin Wei's answer made Chen Feng think that both possibilities were plausible.

When he had been cultivating, he had felt Spiritual Qi filling his entire body, which fit the idea of his whole body absorbing Spiritual Qi.

Generally speaking, once an immortal cultivator reached the Qi Refining First Layer, only their Spirit Aperture would contain Spiritual Qi.

The Qi Induction Art said nothing about Spiritual Qi being present throughout the body.

Seeing Chen Feng deep in thought, Lin Wei continued:

"As for the improvements you mentioned in every aspect of the body, they may have been caused by the special nature of the energy, combined with an excessive amount of it."

"But no matter what kind of energy it is, once it exceeds the limit a living creature can withstand, it becomes dangerous."

"You've probably seen movies where the protagonist's body becomes like Superman's after absorbing some kind of energy, but if he uses it for too long, he enters a weakened state, and his life may even be endangered."

"I call this the Transcendent State. Of course, this is only my conjecture. We'd need data to verify what's actually happening."

Chen Feng nodded slightly.

"Thank you for clearing that up."

With that, Chen Feng stood up. He had a fair idea of what had caused the changes in his body.

He had absorbed too much Spiritual Qi.

As Lin Wei had said, he probably couldn't maintain that state of Spiritual Qi filling his entire body for long.

If the Spiritual Qi remained spread throughout his body instead of staying in his Spirit Aperture, it would certainly harm him.

His was a mortal body. Although he had taken pills to strengthen his physique, Spiritual Qi was no simple thing.

He would have to be more careful when using Spiritual Qi in the future. The main issue was that Chen Feng had no other immortal cultivators to use as a reference; otherwise, he wouldn't have had so many questions.

At that moment, Lin Wei suddenly leaned close to Chen Feng's ear and whispered:

"Actually, if you're working on a research project, you can ask me to join you. I promise I won't tell anyone else!"

Lin Wei was very interested in what Chen Feng was researching. There was actually an energy that could cause an animal to mutate!

It had to be a type of energetic substance she had never seen before.

Looking at Lin Wei's expectant gaze, Chen Feng smiled and said:

"When I get the chance, I'll tell you, Professor Lin."

Of course, Chen Feng wouldn't tell Lin Wei that he was cultivating immortality. He knew too little about the woman.

Unless she was under his control, he would never tell her his secret.

Lin Wei said helplessly:

"All right. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me anytime. I'd be happy to discuss them with you."

Chen Feng nodded slightly and then took his leave of Lin Wei.

He planned to order another hyperbaric oxygen chamber when he got back. The old one was gone, and if he set the power a little lower next time, it shouldn't explode.

Back in his room, Chen Feng immediately took out the business card of the Universal Love Medical Equipment manager he had dealt with last time and called him.

He told the manager that he wanted to buy another hyperbaric oxygen chamber.

Hearing that Chen Feng wanted to order another chamber, the manager immediately assured him that it would be delivered in three days.

In the blink of an eye, half a month quietly passed.

Chen Feng spent most of that time cultivating in the Painting Scroll World.

After he lowered the oxygen concentration in the newly purchased chamber, it never exploded again.

And the Spiritual Qi that had swept through the Xingfeng Sect like a fierce wind never appeared again.

In half a month, Chen Feng's cultivation had risen to the Second Layer of Qi Refining. He didn't know whether that speed counted as fast or slow.

Chen Feng had now begun practicing the Law Techniques recorded in the Qi Induction Art.

The most basic among them were the Fireball Technique and the Wind Blade Technique. Both Technique Methods were powered by Spiritual Qi.

The Fireball Technique was the first Law Technique Chen Feng learned. It allowed him to conjure a fireball in his palm and use it against enemies.

According to the Qi Induction Art, the fireball produced by the Fireball Technique differed from ordinary fire. It was a kind of spiritual fire that not only burned quickly but also reached an extremely high temperature.

In a dense forest on the Xingfeng Sect's mountain mine,

Chen Feng, his hair silver, stood before a large tree. He was currently in the Transcendent State, having activated his Spirit Aperture.

A tiny flame had formed in Chen Feng's right hand. It was only the size of a thumb.

Chen Feng hurled the flame at a tree five meters away. Empowered by Spiritual Qi, it instantly caught on the trunk.

In just a moment, the tiny flame became a blazing fire that engulfed the trunk.

The fire burned for only a second before the trunk was reduced to ash.

A satisfied look appeared on Chen Feng's face.

"Although this is only the basic Fireball Technique, I doubt even a Xiantian expert's Gang Qi could withstand its power!"

He could now be considered truly capable of protecting himself.

Once his Spirit Aperture was activated, Spiritual Qi suffused every part of his body, enhancing him in every respect.

An ordinary Xiantian expert's Gang Qi could no longer hurt him.

And on top of that, he had an offensive means like the fireball.

He should now rank among the top experts in the entire Yue Kingdom.

Chen Feng drew the Spiritual Qi in his body back into his Spirit Aperture, and his body immediately returned to its original appearance.

Looking at the change in his body, Chen Feng felt a headache coming on. The Transcendent State was indeed very good.

But he couldn't control it. As soon as he used the Spiritual Qi in his Spirit Aperture, it flowed through his entire body like a flood.

It also consumed an enormous amount of Spiritual Qi.

With his current cultivation at the Second Layer of Qi Refining, he could maintain the Transcendent State for only three minutes.

Once those three minutes were up, not only would the Spiritual Qi in his body be exhausted, but his internal organs would also feel as though they were burning.

"Perhaps it'll get much better once my cultivation improves."

Chen Feng consoled himself with that thought.

After finishing his cultivation, Chen Feng walked out of the dense forest and immediately saw Wang Hu guarding the area outside with more than a dozen men.

"Sect master!"

Wang Hu and the others bowed respectfully.

Wang Hu and the others now looked at Chen Feng with awe. They had seen the glow of the fire in the forest just now.

In their minds, their sect master was already a being akin to an immortal.

These were all members of the group who had previously seen Chen Feng take on the appearance of an immortal.

These dozen or so men now also counted among the backbone of the Xingfeng Sect.

Only then did Chen Feng notice that the weakest among them had reached the Houtian Fifth Stage.

The strongest was Wang Hu, who had already reached the Ninth Layer of the Acquired Realm.

He was only one step away from Xiantian.

After reaching Qi Refining, Chen Feng had become able to see through these martial artists' cultivation levels.
