CHAPTER 424: CHAPTER 413: BIZARRE_2

After releasing his Martial Soul, the black-robed figure sniffed the scent of the several deceased, then sniffed around, pointed to the north and said, "To the north, they left half a day ago!"

"Send the message back to headquarters, we pursue!"

The burly black-robed figure gave a cold shout, and then the three of them soared into the sky, flying rapidly towards the north.

...

After leaving that small town, Lin Feng headed straight north in flight.

Changyang Country is a small nation, not vast in territory. Two days later, Lin Feng crossed Changyang Country and entered the domain of the Tianhong Empire.

The Tianhong Empire, the only empire in the Hongyu and the heart of the Hongyu realm, is where all the top forces of the Hongyu are located.

Not long after, Lin Feng came to a special city within the Tianhong Empire.

This city is called Meteor City, and it has no walls because it is located in a giant crater spanning a hundred miles, which greatly amazed Lin Feng.

Above the city, a powerful anti-flying Array was set up, not even a True Gang Realm-strong person could fly directly into the city, and one must walk down the long stairways carved out from all sides of the pit.

This crater in which the city resides, it is said to have been formed by meteorites falling from the sky hundreds of years ago, after which the city was built.

Walking down the deep pit, Lin Feng paid an entrance fee of ten Low Grade Spirit Stones and entered Meteor City.

"Last time, Han Yijian mentioned that there seems to be a treasure land for cultivation in Meteor City."

Walking on the streets of the city, Lin Feng remembered that after the banquet last time, Han Yijian mentioned that there was an excellent cultivation site in the city, which is rumored to be highly effective whether for enhancing Cultivation or for practicing Martial Techniques.

Lin Feng decided to take a look. If it’s indeed as said, he would stay there to cultivate quietly for half a month, and then head directly for the Hundred Extremes Sacred City.

After casually asking around, it turned out there really was such a treasure land for cultivation, named Meteor Tower, located in the center of the city.

Before long, Lin Feng arrived at the base of Meteor Tower.

Although it’s called a tower, its appearance was nothing like one; it was just a huge oval meteorite with a diameter of three or four miles.

Lin Feng walked into the main gate of Meteor Tower, and the middle-aged man behind the counter in the hall smiled and said, "Young master, are you thinking of cultivating in the tower?"

"Indeed!"

Lin Feng nodded his head.

"Meteor Tower has four levels, each with different pricing. May I ask which level does the young master plan to cultivate on?"

The middle-aged man continued to inquire.

"What are the differences? Give me an overview."

"Meteor Tower was carved from an extraterrestrial meteor and contains peculiar powers. The First Layer can increase the speed of cultivation by one and a half times, the Second Layer doubles it, the Third Layer triples it, and the Fourth Layer quadruples it. Whether it is enhancing Cultivation or practicing Martial Techniques, one can achieve double the results with half the effort."

"The price for the First Layer is ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones per day, and it triples with each layer above."

The middle-aged man slowly explained. Meteor Tower attracts warriors from various places every day, and for those who are here for the first time, an introduction is a must. Otherwise, they wouldn’t know the effects inside the tower.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng gasped. He was not only amazed by the miraculous effects of the tower, but also shocked by the price to cultivate inside it.

The cost for the First Layer is a steep ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones per day!

With each layer tripling in price, the cost for the Fourth Layer would be two hundred and seventy thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones per day; that’s just insanely expensive!

This kind of price is only affordable for those with strong backgrounds and identities.

"Young master, which layer do you plan to cultivate on? And for how long?"

The middle-aged man asked with a smile.

After much pondering, Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said, "The Fourth Layer! Half a month!"

Since he had to choose, Lin Feng naturally chose the best. As long as the cultivation effect is good, he is willing to spend the extra Spirit Stones.

Spirit Stones are external possessions after all, as long as he himself becomes strong, what’s there to fear about not being able to earn more Spirit Stones?

Immediately, Lin Feng painfully paid the fee for half a month, a total of four hundred and five million Low Grade Spirit Stones.

Under the guidance of a server, Lin Feng came to the Fourth Level of Meteor Tower.

The Fourth Level had dozens of Cultivation Rooms, and the server brought Lin Feng in front of Cultivation Room number ten.

"Young master, this is your Cultivation Room. No one will disturb your Cultivation for this half-month without your permission," said the server.

"Hm, thank you!"

Lin Feng nodded and then walked into the tenth cultivation room.

The cultivation room was very spacious, nearly a hundred square meters. Apart from a meditation cushion, there was nothing else inside.

Unable to wait any longer, Lin Feng sat down cross-legged and then began to operate the Silent Annihilation Heart Method.

Instantly, the True Yuan within his body circulated rapidly through his meridians, completing a Small Heavenly Circuit in just a moment’s time.

"So fast!"

Lin Feng’s eyes shone brightly; just this speed of True Yuan circulation was about three times faster than outside in the world.

"It’s truly miraculous, I wonder what principle this Meteor Tower is based on!"

Lin Feng marveled to himself. This Meteor Tower was the real treasure. Whoever controlled this tower or the force behind it must be extremely powerful; otherwise, it would simply be impossible to guard the tower.

Outside the Meteor Tower, in a small alley, stood three people in black robes.

"Protector, that person should be in the Meteor Tower. What should we do?"

One of the black-robed people spoke to another burly one.

The burly black-robed person fell silent for a moment, then said, "The Meteor Tower, including Meteor City, is under the control of the Duanmu Family. We should not reveal ourselves, wait for him to come out!"

The other two black-robed figures nodded in response.

...

On the fourth level of Meteor Tower, inside the cultivation room, a vast expanse of Demon Dragon Star essence was released, and Lin Feng, like a monk in deep meditation.

The effects of cultivating within this tower were amazingly good, about three times that of the outside world. Lin Feng could clearly feel that here, his Spiritual, Essence, and Mind merged as one, easily entering a state of forgetting both oneself and the world, hence, he did not wish to waste a single moment.

Day passed into night, and the room seemed eternal and unchanging.

Six days later, Lin Feng cultivated the Silent Annihilation Heart Method to the Third Layer Realm; his Cultivation was also extremely condensed and his True Yuan was purely refined.

Opening his eyes, a sharp light flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes. His progress in training here was indeed like traveling a thousand miles in a single day.

Whoosh!!

Lin Feng waved his hand, and in front of him a bright light shone, a small mountain-like pile of Spirit Stones appeared in front of him, filling the entire cultivation room.

"This is the last of the Spirit Stones!"

Looking at the Spirit Stones before him, Lin Feng felt somewhat troubled.

Before him were more than nine million Low Grade Spirit Stones, which was all that was left of his resources. Besides the four thousand Secret Manuals and five thousand Weapons in his Storage Ring that could be sold, he had nothing else!

"Nine million plus Low Grade Spirit Stones, advancing to Earth Martial Master Fourth Layer should be possible, right?"

Lin Feng murmured to himself.

His current Cultivation was only at the Earth Martial Master Third Layer Middle Stage, approaching the Earth Martial Master Third Layer Late Stage. He had not yet reached the peak of the Third Layer Realm and was still far from the Fourth Layer. Even with more than nine million Low Grade Spirit Stones, Lin Feng could not be certain that he could break through the Realm.

After a short while, Lin Feng took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly became fierce!

"Burst!"

With a light shout, an endless explosion sounded, and the entire vast cultivation room was filled with dense Spiritual Energy. Lin Feng’s figure was completely enveloped by the thick Spiritual Energy.

Inside his body, the Nine Spirit Vortices rotated rapidly. Endless Spiritual Energy, like the great Yangtze River, crazily surged into the Nine Spirit Vortices within Lin Feng.

The Spirit Vortices trembled, with tumultuous waves inside. Lin Feng’s Cultivation soared at an astonishing speed.

Earth Martial Master Third Layer Late Stage!

Earth Martial Master Third Layer Peak!

In only about twenty breaths’ time, Lin Feng’s Cultivation reached the Earth Martial Master Third Layer Peak Realm, and the influx of Spiritual Energy didn’t cease in the slightest, constantly striking against the bottleneck of advancing to the Earth Martial Master Fourth Layer.

Boom!!

An immense amount of Spiritual Energy rushed into the Nine Spirit Vortices, which vibrated intensely.

Lin Feng’s breakthrough method was very simple and even somewhat crude - to directly break through with endless Spiritual Energy, smashing through the bottleneck of advancement, breaking through Cultivation barriers.

For other average Martial Artists, this approach was obviously impossible, as it would lead to an immediate violent death. But for Lin Feng, it was no problem at all.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Feng’s Nine Spirit Vortices finally reached a critical point, each emitting a muffled boom, then violently expanded as True Yuan surged.

Another quarter of an hour passed, the cultivation room returned to tranquility, all the Spiritual Energy dissipated into nothingness, and Lin Feng stood tall.

"Earth Martial Master Fourth Layer Early Stage!"
