Volume 5: Baptism of Life and Death Chapter 622 A Little Missing
After a few words of idle chat, the Five Elements Venerable asked in a deep voice, "How long have I been asleep?"
His consciousness was completely in a deep sleep, and he was completely unable to perceive the passage of time. At this time, the Five Elements Venerable had no idea how much time had passed.
After hearing this, Li Xuanfeng smiled helplessly and said, "It has been more than sixty years."
After hearing this, the Five Elements Venerable was stunned for a moment, his expression suddenly became extremely surprised, and he asked in disbelief: "Before I fell asleep, I estimated that it might take nearly two hundred years to recover to the point of awakening, and this time you didn't seem to find anything that could speed up my recovery, so how could I recover so quickly?"
"Moreover, in just sixty years, you have already broken through to the second level?"
Although this sixty years was a very long time for Li Xuanfeng, it was just a blink of an eye for the Five Elements Venerable.
When he fell into deep sleep, the Five Elements Venerable never thought that he would wake up again after just sixty years.
In order to fight against the attacks of the Bai people in the Samsara Secret Realm, the Five Elements Venerable had almost exhausted his spiritual power and had already prepared to sleep for more than two hundred years.
When he was sleeping that year, Venerable Five Elements was still worried that Li Xuanfeng would encounter irresistible danger while he was sleeping. Unexpectedly, he was not only safe and sound, but also improved his cultivation to such a level.
This matter made the Five Elements Venerable feel unbelievable. It took a decade for his soul to recover to such an extent, and Li Xuanfeng's cultivation had actually broken through from the peak of the Spirit Pill Realm to the second realm!
Although it has long been known that Li Xuanfeng's aptitude is extremely amazing, this speed of cultivation is really too terrifying!
After breaking through to the Perfect Spiritual God Realm, one can also take advantage of opportunities to absorb vast amounts of spiritual energy to increase the speed of cultivation. However, to break through to the second realm, one can only comprehend the power of artistic conception honestly, and there is almost no shortcut!
Venerable Five Elements had seen countless cultivators, but being able to break through to the second level within two hundred years was already extremely impressive.
Even though the Five Elements Venerable had qualifications far superior to those of other cultivators, he was already over a hundred years old when he broke through to the second realm.
But as far as Venerable Five Elements knew, judging from Li Xuanfeng's age when he fell asleep, even if another sixty years were added, Li Xuanfeng's age has not yet reached a hundred years old.
Moreover, Li Xuanfeng’s cultivation level now is not just the aura of having just broken through the Human Profound Realm, but has already been completely consolidated at the peak of the early Human Profound Realm!
The Five Elements Venerable couldn't help but feel puzzled. Could it be that the power of artistic conception is so easy to comprehend now?
Li Xuanfeng had already guessed that the Five Elements Venerable would be puzzled by this matter. At this moment, his eyes flickered slightly, and he directly used his artistic conception power to its fullest, and said with a smile: "It is my artistic conception power that has increased your recovery speed."
"As for my cultivation, I entered the human world and became a mortal for decades. Fortunately, I was able to comprehend my own realm and successfully broke through to the second realm."
Hearing Li Xuanfeng say that his artistic conception power increased his recovery speed, the Five Elements Venerable immediately sensed it very carefully. His expression changed instantly and his tone suddenly became unbelievable: "The artistic conception of life? The artistic conception of death?"
Upon sensing this, the expression of the Five Elements Venerable suddenly became even more shocked. Could it be that Li Xuanfeng, who was still in the Human Profound Realm, had comprehended the power of two artistic conceptions?
Could it be that not only had he improved his cultivation to such a terrifying level within sixty years, but he had also comprehended two kinds of power of artistic conception?
If this is true, then Li Xuanfeng's understanding can no longer be described as a monster, but rather as something against the will of heaven!
In shock, the Five Elements Venerable continued to perceive carefully, and finally he fully perceived the mystery of Li Xuanfeng's artistic conception power, and murmured: "No, it's not two artistic conception powers, but one, the artistic conception of life and death!"
Li Xuanfeng was not surprised to hear that the Five Elements Venerable could see through his artistic conception so quickly. If he could not sense it, it would have surprised him.
The Five Elements Venerable is an ancient powerful being who has existed for countless years, and his cultivation had once reached the terrifying level of the late third realm.
After being extremely shocked, the expression of the Five Elements Venerable turned into a strong sense of relief, and he laughed loudly, "Good boy, you can actually comprehend the realm of birth and death!"
"This is an extremely rare artistic conception power, which only exists in ancient books. Even I have never seen anyone successfully comprehend it!"
Hearing the praise from the Five Elements Venerable, Li Xuanfeng bowed respectfully and said with a smile: "It is because of your good teaching, Venerable, otherwise I would not be able to comprehend the realm of birth and death."
After hearing this, the Five Elements Venerable was slightly stunned, and with a strange look on his face, he laughed and scolded: "You little bastard, when did you learn to flatter?"
Li Xuanfeng smiled awkwardly when he heard this. He had almost never flattered others, but the Five Elements Master had been asleep for so many years that he missed him very much, so he couldn't help but smile and tease him.
Then the Five Elements Venerable murmured in a deep voice: "Transform into a mortal? I have heard of this method before, but I thought that I might not be able to comprehend the highest state of mind in the human world, so I did not try it. I did not expect that you could comprehend the state of birth and death in the human world!"
Hearing the words of the Five Elements Venerable, Li Xuanfeng was quite moved. Although his life in the human world was quite peaceful, it gave him many insights.
After the Five Elements Master woke up, Li Xuanfeng did not continue to use the power of artistic conception to recover him.
The Five Elements Venerable, who has now fully awakened, has recovered faster than Li Xuanfeng who used the power of artistic conception. It doesn't take him too much time to recover to the state he was in when he obtained the leg bone.
After that, he only needs to absorb spiritual energy on his own to recover. In a few months, he will be able to fully recover to the level he had after absorbing the leg bone.
But it can only go so far , and there is no way to improve further, unless Li Xuanfeng finds something similar to the leg bones left behind by the Five Elements Venerable.
Now the Five Elements Venerable is just a remnant of soul and does not have enough original power to continue to recover. Unless Li Xuanfeng's cultivation reaches the late stage of the third realm, he will be able to use his powerful cultivation and mysterious original power to continue to help the Five Elements Venerable recover.
Although the Five Elements Venerable did not say much, he felt a warm current in his heart when he learned that Li Xuanfeng had spent two years using the power of artistic conception to recover him.
After chatting with the Five Elements Venerable about his experiences over the past sixty years, Li Xuanfeng left the Purple Destruction Space and returned to the cave.
Li Xuanfeng's expression at this moment had become much more relaxed than it was two years ago. The awakening of the Five Elements Master seemed to give him more confidence.
Although Li Xuanfeng no longer had the habit of relying on the Five Elements Master, he would feel more at ease with him guiding him from behind.
At this moment, Li Xuanfeng's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked the Five Elements Venerable: "Venerable, is there any way to increase the speed of entering the Purple Extinction Space?"
Seeing a hint of expectation in Li Xuanfeng's eyes, the Five Elements Venerable instantly understood his thoughts and scolded with a smile: "Boy, it's a nice thought, but I can't pull you into the Purple Extinction Space in a short time. You should improve your cultivation."
Although the Five Elements Venerable was able to instantly pull Li Xuanfeng's consciousness into the Purple Destruction Space, it still took a lot of time to pull his entire body in.
Although if the Five Elements Venerable guided Li Xuanfeng inside the Purple Destruction Space, the speed of Li Xuanfeng's entry would be increased by several times, it would still take half an incense stick of time.
Hearing his words, Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment. If he could have a way to enter the Purple Destruction Space in an instant, this would be the best way to save his life.
However, Li Xuanfeng had to give up this idea completely. Even if he could find this method, it was only a way to save his life. He could not rely on this method to reach the pinnacle of the cultivation world. The most important thing was to work hard to improve his cultivation.
After chatting for a few more words, Li Xuanfeng clasped his fists and said goodbye, closing his eyes again, preparing to leave the Zimie Space.
After half an hour, the Five Elements Venerable suddenly saw a blur on Li Xuanfeng's body, and he soon disappeared from the Purple Annihilation Space!
Seeing that Li Xuanfeng was so skilled in entering and exiting the Purple Destruction Space, the Five Elements Venerable could not help but smile and nodded slightly, feeling quite relieved.
It seems that Li Xuanfeng has indeed grown a lot during the sixty years of his sleep.
When Li Xuanfeng's real body appeared in the cave, the fire clone immediately took a step forward and instantly merged into the body of the real body.
After Li Xuanfeng recovered all the spiritual energy he had consumed, he walked out of the cave.
Looking at the afterglow of the setting sun in the sky, a trace of nostalgia flashed in Li Xuanfeng's eyes. He had not felt the sunshine outside for two years.
Just after Li Xuanfeng walked out of the cave, Shen Luoyan soon appeared beside him and said with a smile: "You finally came out of seclusion."
Before coming out of seclusion, Li Xuanfeng's spiritual power had already sensed that Shen Luoyan had ended his seclusion a month ago, but his cultivation had not yet reached a breakthrough.
Seeing Shen Luoyan coming over right after he came out of retreat, Li Xuanfeng immediately understood something and asked with a smile, "Are you waiting for me to come out of retreat?"
Shen Luoyan smiled and said, "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you a little."
In fact, Shen Luoyan has been waiting for Li Xuanfeng to come out of seclusion recently, because she found that even though she had been in seclusion for two years, there seemed to be a slight lack in her artistic conception power, which made it impossible for her to find an opportunity to break through in her cultivation.
Shen Luoyan thought for a long time and finally realized that this little bit that he lacked might need to be realized from Li Xuanfeng.
However, sensing that Li Xuanfeng had been absorbing spiritual energy to practice, she did not disturb him, but waited silently in the yard.
Hearing Shen Luoyan's words full of longing, Li Xuanfeng's mouth showed a gentle smile. He raised his hand and gently stroked Shen Luoyan's long hair, and smiled softly: "Let's go out for a walk."
Li Xuanfeng had already guessed that Shen Luoyan must have been in seclusion for a long time but was unable to break through his cultivation level, so he had no choice but to end his seclusion.
He was also very clear that sometimes simply shutting himself up in seclusion would not lead to a breakthrough in his cultivation. Perhaps going out for a walk would make it easier to find an opportunity for a breakthrough.
Shen Luoyan nodded gently and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go out for a walk. I feel a little bored in seclusion."
