From an ordinary boy to a legendary god

Chapter 835: The Challenge of Improving Magical Realm

After repelling the mysterious black-robed man, the Xianmen sect did not usher in the expected peace. Instead, this sudden battle made Lin Feng realize that improving the Xianmen sect's magic realm faced many severe challenges. Although the Xianmen sect disciples showed the potential of their new magic in the battle, they still exposed many problems when confronting powerful enemies.

The atmosphere in the Immortal Sect's meeting hall was solemn. Lin Feng sat in the main seat, his gaze sweeping across the elders and core disciples present. He slowly spoke, "This attack by the black-robed man has made it clear to us that we must urgently improve our magical abilities. Everyone, please share what urgent problems you discovered during the recent battle that need to be addressed."

Su Yao frowned slightly and spoke first: "Brother, I feel that our newly improved spells are not capable of breaking through strong defenses. Just like the black shield of the man in black robe, even if I use my ice spells to attack him with all my strength, it is difficult to cause substantial damage to him." There was a hint of worry in her eyes. Recalling the battle scene, she thought about the direction of improvement.

Ling Yu went on to say, "Senior Brother, I tried to fuse water and earth spells. Although I succeeded to a certain extent, in actual combat, the speed of casting the spells is still too slow, and it is easy for the enemy to catch the flaws. Moreover, the fusion process requires extremely high precise control of spiritual power. If there is any deviation, the spell will fail." Ling Yu bit her lip lightly, feeling annoyed by the imperfection of the spell.

Mingxuan also stood up and said seriously, "Brother, although the 'Spirit Shadow Killing Technique' can confuse the enemy, when facing a stronger opponent, the realism and duration of the illusion are not enough, making it difficult for the attack spell hidden in it to achieve the maximum effect." He looked down at his hands, as if he was still recalling every detail of casting the spell, trying to find the key to improvement.

Lin Feng listened carefully to his disciples' speeches, thinking to himself, "It seems that improving the realm of magic is not easy. Every problem needs to be carefully studied and solved." He looked up at the crowd and said, "The questions raised by everyone are very critical. We must find solutions to these problems one by one. Su Yao, you will lead the disciples who are good at ice magic to study how to enhance the defense-breaking ability of ice magic; Lingyu, focus on improving the speed and stability of fusion spells; Mingxuan, work hard to improve the confusing effect and duration of the 'Spirit Shadow Illusion Killing Technique'."

Everyone followed their orders and threw themselves into their intense research, each carrying out their tasks. Su Yao led a group of ice magic disciples to the Ice Abyss of the Immortal Sect. This place was cold year-round, rich in ice spiritual energy, making it an ideal place for studying ice magic. Su Yao stood at the edge of the Ice Abyss, feeling the icy air blowing towards her, and pondered, "To enhance the defense-breaking ability of ice magic, perhaps we can start by compressing the ice spiritual energy and strengthening its attributes."

She first attempted to perform "Ice Spike Piercing." Countless sharp ice spikes rose from the ground and shot toward an ice sculpture in front of her. The spikes left some marks on the ice sculpture, but didn't completely shatter it. "It seems simply increasing the number and size of the spikes isn't enough," Su Yao muttered to herself.

She closed her eyes, concentrated, and attempted to compress her icy spiritual energy. As it compressed, she felt its temperature drop and its power grow more concentrated. When she unleashed "Ice Piercing" again, the ice spikes grew even thinner and sharper, gleaming with a faint blue light. When they struck the ice sculpture, it was instantly pierced, disintegrating into countless icy shards.

"Success!" Su Yao shouted excitedly. The other disciples gathered around her and asked her for advice on the technique of compressing spiritual power. Su Yao patiently guided everyone, feeling a sense of accomplishment. However, she also knew that this was only the first step and needed further testing and improvement in actual combat.

Ling Yu, in a quiet valley within the Immortal Gate, constantly attempted to increase the speed of her fusion spell. She first cast "Water Curtain Heavenly Flower," then quickly introduced earth-element spiritual energy, attempting to speed up the fusion process. However, each attempt resulted in a conflict of spiritual energy, causing the spell to fail.

"Why isn't it working?" Ling Yu paced anxiously in the valley, sweat beading on her forehead. She recalled every detail of her previous spellcasting, and suddenly an idea struck her: "Perhaps I can change the order in which I draw in the spiritual energy. I can pre-process the earth-element spiritual energy first, so it can more easily blend with the water-element spiritual energy."

Lingyu immediately took action. She first circulated the earth element spiritual energy within her body for a full cycle, softening it. Then, the moment she unleashed "Water Curtain Heavenly Hua," she quickly incorporated the pre-processed earth element spiritual energy into the water curtain. This time, the water curtain smoothly thickened, forming a solid defensive wall, and the entire process was much faster than before.

"Finally succeeded!" Ling Yu jumped up excitedly. But she knew that she needed to practice more and more before she could use it skillfully in actual combat.

Mingxuan and his disciples, skilled in illusion, were in the Illusion Pavilion, researching how to improve the disorienting effect and duration of their "Spirit Shadow Illusion Killing Technique." They consulted numerous illusion texts and tried various methods. Mingxuan examined an ancient illusion manual that described a spell called the "Bewitching Mind Curse," which could enhance the illusion's ability to disorient the enemy's mind.

"Perhaps we can integrate the 'Bewitching Mind Curse' into the 'Spirit Shadow Killing Technique,'" Mingxuan said. He and his disciples began experimenting with combining the two spells. After repeated failures, they finally succeeded in integrating the 'Bewitching Mind Curse' into the 'Spirit Shadow Killing Technique.' The illusions were not only more realistic when cast, but any enemy that came into contact with the illusion would be affected by the 'Bewitching Mind Curse', temporarily disorienting them.

However, just as the disciples of the Xian Sect were working tirelessly to overcome the magical difficulties, the sect faced another crisis. A group of monks calling themselves the "Blood Spirit Sect" set up a strange formation near the Xian Sect, enveloping it. A red mist continuously emerged from the formation, hiding various terrifying illusions, attempting to disturb the disciples' minds.

Lin Feng sensed something unusual around the Immortal Gate and quickly led his disciples to the Immortal Gate Square. Looking at the Immortal Gate shrouded in red mist, Lin Feng's heart sank. "This Blood Spirit Sect's formation isn't a good one. Everyone, be careful."

A cultivator from the Blood Spirit Sect stood outside the formation and shouted, "Listen up, everyone from the Immortal Sect! Today is your end! No one can break this 'Blood Spirit Illusion Formation.' You will all just accept your death!"

Lin Feng glared at them and shouted, "You evildoers, stop being so arrogant! Immortal disciples, prepare to break the formation!"

Lin Feng was the first to use his top-level swordsmanship to try to break through the formation. However, when his sword energy came into contact with the red mist, it was swallowed by the mist and had no effect.

Su Yao cast the ice spell "Ice Breaking the Void" to enhance the ability to break defense, and a huge ice cone shot towards the fog. The ice cone advanced for a distance in the fog, but was eventually melted by the fog.

Ling Yu cast a modified fusion spell, and the thick defensive wall crashed into the fog. The fog instantly enveloped the defensive wall, and under the erosion of the fog, cracks gradually appeared in the defensive wall.

Mingxuan and his companions used the "Spirit Shadow Illusion Killing Technique" combined with the "Heart-Confusing Curse" to try to confuse the Blood Spirit Cult monks with illusions and find an opportunity to break the formation. However, the Blood Spirit Cult monks seemed to be on guard against illusions and were not confused.

"This formation is indeed tricky!" Lin Feng thought to himself, frowning. He quickly observed the operation of the formation and found that its core seemed to be in the southeast direction.

"Everyone listen, the core of the formation is in the southeast direction. We should concentrate our forces to attack there!" Lin Feng shouted.

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Immortal Sect all cast their strongest spells in a southeasterly direction. Lin Feng unleashed the "Sword Controlling the Universe," a fusion of various innovative elements, sending a powerful sword beam blazing towards the formation's core. Su Yao unleashed the "Ice Dragon Breaking the Mist," sending a roaring ice dragon charging towards the core. Ling Yu unleashed a fusion spell, attempting to break the defenses surrounding the core. Ming Xuan and the others used the "Spirit Shadow Illusion Killing Technique" to disrupt the Blood Spirit Cult's cultivators, preventing them from supporting the core.

Under the combined force of their attacks, the core of the formation finally gave way. Lin Feng seized the opportunity and unleashed his most powerful sword strike, "Sword Slashing the Stars." A brilliant sword beam streaked across the sky, striking directly at the core of the formation.

With a loud "bang", the core of the formation was broken and the red mist quickly dissipated. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Blood Spirit Sect monks fled.

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the enemy retreat. He turned to look at the disciples around him and said, "Is everyone alright? This battle has shown us the challenges of advancing our magical realm. Although we successfully repelled the enemy, we need to continue working hard and constantly improve our magic to face even stronger enemies."

The disciples nodded, their eyes filled with determination. After this battle, the disciples of the Xian Sect understood more clearly that the path to ascending to a higher level of magic was fraught with difficulty. However, they firmly believed that as long as they united as one and continued to explore, they would overcome the numerous challenges, elevate the Xian Sect's magic to a higher level, and safeguard the peace and glory of the Xian Sect.
