With a single thought, Chen Fei immediately began attempting to manifest and condense his Dao Embryo Spirit using the Myriad Dao Technique.
The Dao Embryo Spirit was the foundation of an Art Spirit Master, a transformation of spiritual power, and the fundamental basis for future cultivation.
As the Myriad Dao Technique circulated, the ten misty light spheres within him gradually drew closer to one another. Under the influence of the technique, they started merging into one, manifesting the Dao Embryo Spirit.
The entire process proceeded smoothly. Each misty light sphere took the shape of the Void Heaven Cauldron. As the Myriad Dao Technique guided them, they fused one after another.
When all ten misty light spheres in his body merged into one, an extraordinary scene unfolded!
The previously misty light spheres transformed into a vortex shaped like the Void Heaven Cauldron. As the vortex spun, it carried the imprints of the Axe Dao, Earth Dao, and Fire Dao, revolving along with it.
This vortex, resembling the Void Heaven Cauldron, was the Dao Embryo Spirit that Chen Fei had manifested.
According to the inheritance records of the Axe Dao Spirit Weapon, once the vortex transitioned from illusion to reality, it would signify his step into the Dao Realm. At that time, the vortex would be replaced by the fully formed Dao Embryo.
To accelerate this transition, he would need an immense amount of spiritual power as well as rare treasures that could birth a Dao Embryo.
The manifestation of the Dao Embryo Spirit also marked Chen Fei’s formal half-step advancement into the Dao Realm as an Art Spirit Master. Moreover, since his Dao Embryo carried three different Dao imprints, his efficiency and power in casting techniques related to these Daos would be significantly enhanced.
For the Fire Dao, he had only mastered the basic Fireball Technique.
For the Earth Dao, he had grasped Earth Spirit Art and Earth Escape Technique.
For the Axe Dao, he had inherited the Thousand-Jin Axe Art.
Among them, the Thousand-Jin Axe Art, due to his control over the Axe Dao Spirit Weapon, had become his most powerful offensive technique.
With Qin Meng’s help, Chen Fei refined the Axe Dao Spirit Weapon, elevating his spiritual power to the half-step Dao Realm. His overall strength had taken a massive leap forward.
At this moment, he was once again expelled and returned to the forbidden snow-capped mountains of the third spatial layer.
Back in the familiar surroundings, Chen Fei’s face was filled with joy. Becoming Qin Meng’s twelfth successor, refining the Axe Dao Spirit Weapon, and obtaining the Axe Dao inheritance were achievements beyond his expectations.
With a single thought, his Spirit Cat’s perception significantly increased. Under the assistance of the Dao Embryo Spirit, his sensing ability now covered a radius of five thousand meters!
If he could achieve such an astonishing perception within the secret realm, then wouldn’t it be even stronger in the outside world?
Besides perception, he could also feel the drastic transformation in his own strength. His minuscule reserves of Martial Spirit Master energy had now become almost negligible in comparison.
“I never expected that my Art Spirit Master cultivation would surpass my Martial Spirit Master progress!” Chen Fei grinned, feeling as if he had stumbled upon a great fortune by accident.
“I wonder how my wife is doing. What kind of opportunity did she receive?”
Chen Fei waited patiently, but even after nightfall, Su Meng had not yet been expelled from the realm.
“Why hasn’t she come out yet?” He was slightly surprised but not worried. He knew Su Meng had greater knowledge and experience than he did. This so-called death tribulation wasn’t truly a disaster for them—it was an opportunity.
In the end, Chen Fei didn’t stay there indefinitely. Instead, he left a marker for Su Meng, informing her that he had moved ahead. Once she exited, she could continue forward and even proceed to the fourth layer to meet him.
With his greatly increased cultivation, Chen Fei embarked on his journey alone, climbing higher up the mountain.
Whenever he encountered illusionary beasts, he showed no mercy. After all, he was now the successor of the secret realm’s master, so there was no need to worry about retribution for slaying these creatures.
Before long, Chen Fei’s heightened perception detected an illusionary beast at the peak of the Ninth-Rank True Spirit Master realm.
Such a creature would have been nearly impossible for him to defeat before, even with the Void Heaven Cauldron. However, now he was completely confident!
This time, he didn’t even rely on the Void Heaven Cauldron’s suppressive ability. Instead, he launched his attack purely with his Art Spirit Master abilities.
“Fireball Technique!”
Without activating the Axe Dao Spirit Weapon, he used the Fire Dao imprint from his Dao Embryo Spirit to enhance his Fireball Technique.
Instantly, a sea of fire erupted, melting the surrounding ice sculptures and trapping the Ninth-Rank True Spirit Master-level illusionary beast within.
Roar!
The snow-white illusionary beast howled in rage, struggling against the blazing flames. However, as the inferno consumed its energy, its strength rapidly diminished.
Although the beast managed to resist outright incineration, it sustained severe injuries. Without the constant replenishment of power from its Essence Soul, it would have perished already.
Even so, the rate at which its strength was replenished couldn’t keep up with the rapid depletion caused by the fire. The beast’s power continued to decline, and if this persisted, it wouldn’t take long for it to fall completely.
Observing this, Chen Fei was filled with emotion. His strength had grown to the point where he could kill a peak Ninth-Rank True Spirit Master-level illusionary beast with just Fireball Technique alone!
“If Ye Chenxing appears before me again, he might not be able to escape from my grasp this time!” Chen Fei thought, feeling an immense sense of satisfaction. The enormous mountain that had weighed upon him for so long seemed to have been quietly lifted away.
Within three minutes, the snow-white illusionary beast succumbed to the relentless flames. With its strength depleted, it was finally slain, leaving behind an Essence Soul.
Chen Fei approached, picking up the Essence Soul, and then sat down cross-legged. Activating the Void Heaven Cauldron, he began absorbing and refining the energy of this Ninth-Rank True Spirit Master-level Essence Soul.
The Void Heaven Cauldron had grown more selective—Essence Souls from Seventh-Rank True Spirit Masters no longer satisfied it.
However, this Ninth-Rank Essence Soul was sufficient. As the Void Heaven Cauldron absorbed and refined its power, Chen Fei’s Martial Spirit Master energy, which had been stagnant for a long time, finally advanced once more.
After refining the Essence Soul, his Martial Spirit Master cultivation rose from the early Fourth-Rank True Spirit Master level to the mid-Fifth-Rank level.
While this advancement strengthened his physical body, the increase in his actual combat strength was nearly negligible.
Even with the Thousand Phantom Slash technique, which enhanced his Martial Spirit Master abilities, he could only match the power of a peak Ninth-Rank True Spirit Master. That was still far below the might of his half-step Dao Realm spiritual power.
Continuing his ascent, Chen Fei slaughtered illusionary beasts and searched for rare treasures along the way.
His spiritual power saw only minor improvements, and the Three-Colored World could no longer provide him with substantial benefits at the half-step Dao Realm level.
However, his Martial Spirit Master cultivation advanced rapidly. By refining multiple illusionary beast Essence Souls and two rare treasures, he reached the early Seventh-Rank True Spirit Master realm.
Finally, he arrived at the summit of the snow-capped mountain!
There, he encountered two peak Ninth-Rank True Spirit Masters from Qinling. Both of them looked at him with expressions of surprise.
