CHAPTER 434: CHAPTER 434, THE WANDERING TRAVELER

Whew!

Chu Ming gently opened his eyes. He had not expected that after deducing the Tenth Layer of the "Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique," his spiritual power would be aroused, directly elevating his spiritual cultivation to the peak of the True Dao Realm. This was indeed a pleasant surprise.

The next step is the Guiyuan Realm.

Guiyuan means returning to the source. To advance to the Guiyuan Realm, one must condense their spiritual power to the extreme, forming a Sea of Spiritual Power within their body.

Furthermore, the Tenth Layer of the "Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique" doubled his Sword Essence Power once again, naturally increasing the explosive power.

However, even so, his Sword Dao cultivation still lags far behind his Body Refining power.

With Chu Ming’s current Sword Dao cultivation, he should dominate the Sixth Layer of the Guiyuan Realm, but his Body Refining power is already infinitely close to the Eighth Layer of the Guiyuan Realm.

In a month’s time, Chu Ming had crossed over ten Great Domains and experienced several battles along the way.

Taking a light breath, Chu Ming took out an ancient, yellowed book from his Storage Ring. Four large characters were written on it: "Blood Burning Technique."

The Blood Burning Technique is a high-tier Profound Level secret technique. Chu Ming had acquired it at an auction in Black Mountain City, but due to recent events in the Dark Tomb, Hundred Battle Arena, and Mist Mountain Range, he hadn’t had time to study the Blood Burning Technique.

Gently opening the book, Chu Ming slowly read it page by page. The Blood Burning Technique is a method that burns one’s own blood energy to obtain powerful destructive force.

Normally, it’s useless against ordinary opponents, but when facing strong enemies, it is a decisive technique.

"It seems that I will need to collect some natural treasures to replenish my blood energy in the future."

Closing the book, Chu Ming silently thought to himself.

Although Blood Pearls are also full of blood energy and quite a lot of it, their main function is to enhance the flesh granules. In terms of recovering burned blood energy, their effectiveness is far less powerful.

There is a subtle difference between enhancing and recovering.

The Blood Burning Technique has three layers in total. Training to the First Layer can increase one’s destructive force by ten percent. Training to the Second Layer can increase it by thirty percent, and training to the Third Layer can increase it by fifty percent.

Of course, the more destructive force it increases, the faster the blood energy is consumed. With Chu Ming’s current blood energy, he could only maintain the Third Layer of the Blood Burning Technique for two or three minutes. Any longer and it would damage his essence, turning him into a dried corpse.

Leaving the cave, Chu Ming set out, approaching the Sword Domain while comprehending the Blood Burning Technique.

The difficulty of training the Blood Burning Technique is similar to that of a middle-tier Earth Level martial technique. In five days, Chu Ming successfully trained to the First Layer.

At that time, he entered the Ice Profound Domain. If he remembered correctly, Feng Yuyan should be the prodigy of this domain.

In fact, all the powerful regions of the Eastern Hundred Domains are concentrated in the central part of the continent. After all, it is close to the Central Divine Domain, where Spiritual Qi is abundant, like the Sword Domain, Thunder Marsh Domain, Fire Domain, and Chifeng Domain.

"Did you hear? Feng Yuyan broke through to the Guiyuan Realm yesterday!"

"What?! How could it be so fast? Who told you that?"

"This news came from the Ice Profound Hall; how could it be false?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is incredible. With six months to go before the Tea Ceremony Gathering, the prodigies are already making moves. I really want to see the scene at the Tea Ceremony Gathering in half a year."

In a restaurant, Chu Ming sat by a window, quietly listening to the conversations on the second floor, his expression unchanged.

The last time he parted ways with Feng Yuyan, she was already at the Eighth Heaven of the True Dao Realm. Now, six months later, she has broken through to the Guiyuan Realm, her progress is not slow.

"This time, many talented individuals have emerged from other domains as well!"

An old man in a yellow robe, sipping his drink alone by the window, spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, the gaze of everyone on the second floor turned toward the old man.

"May I know who this elder is?"

A middle-aged Blade Master in green looked at the old man in the yellow robe, feeling a sense of familiarity, and asked cautiously.

"I am Wanderer Feng!"

The old man in the yellow robe stroked his beard and smiled softly at the crowd.

"So, it’s Senior Wanderer Feng!"

"I didn’t expect to see Senior Wanderer Feng here!"

"No wonder he seemed so familiar just now."

The people on the second floor of the restaurant all brightened up, and their words were full of flattery towards the old man. A hint of surprise also flashed in Chu Ming’s eyes.

Chu Ming had heard of Wanderer Feng’s reputation along the way. He was a well-known wind connoisseur in the nearby domains, with certain channels and expertise in spreading information.

After the crowd’s discussions subsided, the middle-aged Blade Master cautiously said to Wanderer Feng, "Since senior mentioned it, why not share some insights with us? Don’t worry, today’s drinks are on me."

"Hahaha, since it has come to this, I naturally won’t keep you in suspense. Since I am in a good mood today, I will tell you all about it."

Wanderer Feng cleared his throat, and everyone on the second floor of the restaurant held their breath, listening quietly.

Chu Ming also put down his cup, listening attentively. He was equally curious about the prodigies of the nearby domains.

"I won’t talk about the usual Profound List prodigies. Today, I’ll tell you about the newly emerged prodigies from various domains."

Wanderer Feng smiled lightly, accustomed to the crowd’s reaction.

"In the Ice Profound Domain, aside from Feng Yuyan, there is her junior brother, Mo Feng. There’s nothing much to say about him."

"In the Sword Domain, a new prodigy has appeared this year, named Liu Shaofei. He once split a 300-meter river with a single sword, and recently he defeated Huo Qingtian. He is making a notable presence among the Sword Domain prodigies, definitely ranking in the top three!"

The crowd showed a hint of surprise. Huo Qingtian ranked fifty-third on the last Profound List, and Liu Shaofei defeated him, showing that his combat strength is not weak.

Before the crowd could react, Wanderer Feng continued, "In the Thunder Marsh Domain, a new prodigy named Feng Chi has emerged. He is a disciple of Thunder Spirit Young Master Lei Wushuang. His mastery of the Thunder Realm is almost as deep as Thunder Spirit Young Master’s. Even the Hall Master of Thunder Hall speaks highly of him, asserting that this time he will surely enter the top thirty of the Profound List."

The Thunder Hall is a superpower in the Thunder Marsh Domain. Thunder Spirit Young Master hailed from there. It’s surprising that a prodigy with talent comparable to Thunder Spirit Young Master has emerged once again.

"In the Chifeng Domain, there is Gu Mu. This individual is quite mysterious; the only known information is that he is extremely at odds with Luck Young Master Mei Wuxie. Reliable sources indicate that Gu Mu once fought with Mei Wuxie and managed to escape safely."

When speaking about Gu Mu, a hint of awe flashed in the old man in the yellow robe’s eyes.

Evil Charmless is one of the four great prodigies of the Eastern Hundred Domains. His strength is undeniable. For Gu Mu to escape from his hands demonstrates his capabilities.
