Chapter 62: King Zhennan’s Arrival

It was only a while ago that Feng Xia had been thinking about what to do if he was not strong enough.
He did not expect to have to face a completely different problem in the blink of an eye.
What if I accidentally become too strong?
In terms of cultivation, Feng Xia had not even activated his Mystical Wheel and could be only considered a “reserve divine being”. However, because he had absorbed countless Essence light balls in the Ancient Forsaken Land, his physique had far surpassed cultivators at the same level.
“By right, the stronger one’s physical body is, the easier it is for one to handle the pressure of a higher realm. However, on the other hand, if one’s physical body is too strong, it will make it too difficult to activate a Mystical Wheel.”
For example, a divine weapon forged from a piece of divine iron was naturally stronger than an ordinary weapon forged from ordinary iron.
However, it was not an easy task to hammer out a piece of divine iron!
“Oh gosh. My physique is really too strong, so much so that when I nurtured a trace of vital energy just now, this trace of vital energy was dispersed by my blood essence.”
This was probably what it meant by going too far.
As Feng Xia realized the crux of the problem, he could not help but laugh bitterly.
This was equivalent to the enemy dropping dead before I could use any strength…
In order to solve this problem, he could either consume more Energy Accumulation Pills or find an external force strong enough to withstand the impact of his blood essence and forcefully activate the Mystical Wheel.
Feng Xia instantly rejected the first method.
Based on his experience just now, he surmised that even if he swallowed all the pills in the Thousand Autumn Valley, the likelihood was that he would not be able to successfully gather vital energy and activate the Mystical Wheel. Instead, he would likely just burp a few more times…
Burp… Burp! Burp! Burp!
“As for the latter method… where can I find such external force? It’s unlikely that Lei Shao and Liu Chuanyuan can do it. The old Sect Master might be able to do it, but he is at a critical juncture of life and death at the moment. I can’t disturb him now…”
Feng Xia could not help but frown.
He really did not expect that at this moment when he needed to become stronger and better, he would have to worry about being too strong!
“It can’t be that I have to use up all the blood essence in my body and then weaken my physical body before I can activate my Mystical Wheel, right?”
What was the difference between doing this and self-harm?
Moreover, a large part of his current strength was built on his powerful physique. If he chose to harm himself for the sake of having a breakthrough…
Then after the breakthrough, he would only be at the basic Inception Realm. In that case, how different would it be from not having a breakthrough?
“If only Patriarch Chenhai was here. He is very resourceful and will definitely be able to think of a solution.” Feng Xia shook his head and looked at the remaining two types of medicinal pills.
The Quasi Wheel Pill and Essence Convergence Pill.
“Forget it. Now that we’re already at this juncture, let’s give it a try!”
After hesitating for less than a second, Feng Xia grabbed a handful of Quasi Wheel Pills with his left hand and a handful of Essence Convergence Pills with his right hand. He looked exactly like an online food streamer as he took the pills under Zhu Youniang’s fixated stare…
In one gulp!
“Cough, cough, cough… Urgh… Youniang, bring me some water!”
“Here, water.”
A slender and fair hand passed it to him.
Feng Xia drank it without taking a look. As the coolness spread inside him, the blockage in his throat finally eased a lot. Only then did he pat his chest with lingering fear.
“Damn it… So not every medicinal pill melts in the mouth?”
The taste of the Essence Convergence Pill was similar to that of the Energy Accumulation Pill, but the Quasi Wheel Pill was different. When he ate the Quasi Wheel Pills, Feng Xia finally realized this shocking fact.
Certain types of medicinal pills need to be chewed and swallowed carefully!
“Sure enough, even if I swallow all these pills in one gulp, it doesn’t seem to have much effect on me… Eh!” Feng Xia muttered to himself before his expression suddenly changed slightly, “The Essence Convergence Pills… don’t seem to be completely ineffective?”
His soul power had detected something. A barely discernible energy cyclone the size of a thumbnail appeared awkwardly and slowly turned one round after making a Herculean effort.
As Feng Xia watched in a daze, the small energy cyclone turned a second round, then a third. Its speed became slower and slower as the extent of its swing became greater and greater…
Immediately after, it swayed on the spot for a while and then cracked open.
Feng Xia: “???”
Damn it, don’t die on the spot so quickly!
There was no time for him to think too much about it. He hurriedly activated his soul power and used the Floating Dream Three Lives Technique as the main base, and then added the Nine Dragons Sacred Heart Technique and the Heavenly Pattern Breathing Technique to stabilize the small energy cyclone.
“It’s—not—over—”
Boom!
Just as Feng Xia was focused on his cultivation, a fiery crimson color suddenly lit up at the end of the sky far away from Mount Canglan.
At first, the crimson color was still very far away, but it expanded at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it spread across the sky like a sea of fire and covered the sky above the Thousand Autumn Valley as the temperature rose!
“What is that thing?!”
“The sky… is burning?”
In the Thousand Autumn Valley, divine beings who noticed this scene felt their hearts tremble involuntarily.
As for the cultivators who had reached the Divine Power Realm, their expressions quickly turned dark and solemn when they noticed the source of the flames.
“This aura… Could it be…”
“As blazing flames scorch the sky, the Southeast is eternally suppressed… An expert from the imperial court is finally here!”
Lei Shao, who had just returned to the entrance of the Thousand Autumn Valley, suddenly turned around and looked into the distance. He spat out a few words slowly, “The Blazing Flame Eagle… A very powerful expert has finally come…”
On one of the Five Elements Altar, the Tianjue Sect Master and the others opened their eyes in surprise and looked towards the end of the sea of fire.
Within the sea of fire, one could see a huge shadow flapping its wings and flying forward. Raging flames surged and emitted a mesmerizing incandescence, causing the sky above the Thousand Autumn Valley to look distorted.
Above that huge shadow stood a majestic divine shadow.
Even though the Sect Master of the Tianjue Sect and the others were all veterans of the Dao Platform Realm, they still could not help but lower their heads when they saw that majestic figure and felt a sense of indescribable huge pressure pressing on them.
As everyone knew, there were four great dukes in Xuanwu Kingdom.
Every duke was at the peak of the eighth level of the Dao Platform Realm and stood at the pinnacle among Champions.
Earlier, the Sect Master of the Tianjue Sect had sensed a change in the situation. He felt that they could not continue to draw out the fight as planned and that it was best to end it quickly. Therefore, he had reported this matter to the imperial court. Now that a day had passed, the duke who was closest to the Thousand Autumn Valley…
Finally arrived at the mountain ranges of Mount Canglan!
“King Zhennan of the south…!”
Under the Five Elements Altar, the thin young man opened his mouth as he felt a sense of unease. “King Zhennan has arrived a day earlier than expected…”
…
