Chapter 98: A New Little Wish, Mana Surge (6200 Words II III)
Chapter 98 – A New Little Wish, Mana Soars (6200 Words II Three Chapters in One)
“Eye of the Wood Spirit!”
“Ethereal Wood Yin Thunder!”
“Wind Listening!”
“Exploding Volcano!”
“Ten Thousand Rivers Flood ……”
Before attending to the Heart of Demon Wood and watching the Red Flame Earth Heart Flame …… enter the Heavy Xuan Space, Chen Fan used his points and exchanged a large number of spells.
In the Immortal Cultivation World, spells were not very expensive.
This was because what stopped Immortal Cultivators was often not whether or not you were able to obtain spells, but whether or not you were able to comprehend them after obtaining them.
When Chen Fan’s spiritual root qualification was not good before, he only chose a few of the simplest spells to comprehend.
Later, when his spiritual root qualification was better, the level of the spells he chose was only raised a bit.
And now, he could raise it some more.
“In addition, I have to exchange for five superb spells with five elemental attributes, and the Greenwood Sword, which has accompanied me for five years, can be put on the shelf in the future.”
After redeeming the spells, Chen Fan followed by redeeming five more five elemental extreme grade magic weapons.
“Golden Brilliant Cloud Piercing Sword, Wooden Vine Soul Binding Sword, Water Shadow Phantom Spirit Sword, Fire Feather Heaven Burning Sword, and Earth Rock Zhen Yue Sword ……”
Chen Fan entered the token space and quickly chose the magic weapon he was satisfied with.
……
“I will immediately open the Demon Wood Formation, so you can prepare to begin your enlightenment!”
In the Demon Wood Forest, Wei Mingyuan said in a deep voice.
“Good!”
Chen Fan nodded and got ready.
Rumble!
In the next instant, the area he was in suddenly darkened.
A twisted demonic vine, derived from nowhere, appeared in front and back of him, above him, and even underneath his feet in the twinkling of an eye.
At this moment, this entire piece of heaven and earth seemed to be filled with these dark green twisted demonic vines with strange patterns.
Chen Fan stood in this small world woven by the demon vines, feeling like he was standing amongst countless writhing pythons.
“Heart of Demon Wood!”
Suddenly, Chen Fan’s eyes stared, and in the center of the countless demon vines, he saw a black-green irregular wooden object.
This wooden object was crystal clear, while inside, it appeared to have a drop of demonic blood preserved, looking like amber.
And just the moment Chen Fan saw this object, he sensed a dense and demonic wood attribute law arcana on its body.
He immediately knew that this object should be the Heart of Demonic Wood.
“I make a wish that my enlightenment will be able to be maximized within three seconds.”
Looking at the Demon Wood Heart in front of him, Chen Fan made his small wish for today with a thought.
“Boom!”
Right after he made this wish, in the next second, he felt his mind, seemingly, being infinitely enlarged.
Those various law arcana that he saw and felt, at this moment, all seemed to be understood and even grasped by him.
Especially in front of him, from the heart of the demonic wood emanated a burst of demonic wood attribute law esotericism, it was even more clearly sensed by him, and it was comprehended by him.
In this instant, it was as if he had entered a state of semi-epiphany.
In a single moment of enlightenment, it exceeded the previous days by an unknown amount.
And under these circumstances, when three seconds passed, he remained in this semi-epiphanic state for another period of time before slowly exiting.
“Indeed!”
When everything was over, Chen Fan took a deep breath.
Although, he only wished that his enlightenment could be raised to the limit within three seconds.
However, once he entered that special state of semi-epiphany under high enlightenment, even if his enlightenment returned to normal, his mind, too, remained immersed in that state of semi-epiphany.
It was not until a good while had passed that he exited.
It was as if a person who was driving a car drove it very fast, and even if he stepped on the emergency brake, the car would continue to rush forward for some time.
“Whew!”
After exiting from the state of epiphany, Chen Fan exhaled a long breath.
Regarding this, he had only guessed before.
But now, it was confirmed.
“No time to waste!”
Chen Fan recalled his previous epiphanies, and immediately closed his eyes, corroborating these epiphanies with his previous epiphanies of the wood attribute law arcana.
Time passed little by little.
“Wood’s Yin Thunder!”
A day later, Chen Fan’s mind moved, and a bit of black-green aura mass wrapped by countless Laws and Mysteries was pointed by him into a vine in the distance.
“Boom!”
Then, after waiting for a while, he moved his mind and detonated the Yin Thunder in that wooden vine, and in an instant, a large portion of the wooden vine, all of which were affected, disappeared into green smoke.
But immediately following, the place was replenished with new vines.
“Too fast!”
Chen Fan lamented.
Previously, if he wanted to get started with a spell, it might take days, and if he wanted to manage to utilize it to a certain extent, it might take half a month.
But now, in just a day’s time, he had managed to initiate a more advanced spell and even master it to a certain extent.
“This is cultivation!”
A trace of excitement flashed in Chen Fan’s eyes.
With the initiation of this Spell of Yin Thunder of Wood, he could clearly feel that the mana in his body was a little thicker.
“Continue!”
Chen Fan sank his heart.
Normally, a single participation in the Heart of the Demon Wood could only last for a day.
But this was not a problem for him.
He didn’t have much else, just a lot of points.
Just renewing would be the way to go.
In the past five years, the points he had accumulated in his hands, even after removing the ones he had used up, there were still more than eight hundred thousand left.
And these points were what he had prepared for today.
Of course, these eight hundred thousand or so points were before he had exchanged the five extreme magic weapons, and after exchanging the five extreme magic weapons, the points in his hand, directly removed more than two hundred thousand.
“Time to go to the next place!”
Ten days later, Chen Fan walked out of the Demon Wood Forest.
During these ten days, he had spent thirty thousand points and mastered a total of ten wood attribute spells.
As for refining the spells, he did not do it.
Right now, all he needed was volume.
It was the quantity that fed him.
……
“Go.”
“Inside is the Heavy Xuan Space.”
Heavy Xuan Mountain, Chen Fan was guided by a disciple towards the belly of Heavy Xuan Mountain.
As he walked, a bright light appeared in front of him.
Realizing that in front of him, a strange dark space appeared.
In the middle of this space, there was a stone block of different sizes suspended.
Many of these stone blocks were spherical in shape, and were constantly rotating, as if they had some sort of inexplicable connection with each other.
“Whoosh!”
With a thought, Chen Fan flew into this space.
He then realized that here, he was able to walk around in this void at will without running his mana to perform the Wind Sentry Technique.
Either up or down, left or right.
Especially when he stood in the middle of this space and looked at one of the spherical stones around him, it felt as if he had arrived in a small starry sky.
“An incredible blessed land of creation!”
Chen Fan took a deep breath.
“I make a wish for my enlightenment ……”
Then, with a thought, he made his small wish for the day.
Accompanying this wish, his mind, his perception, all began to stretch.
All of the law arcana that he could suddenly see and sense in the middle of this space began to rapidly flash in his mind.
“Five Mountain Heavy Xuan Technique!”
Chen Fan then took out one of the earth-attribute spells he had purchased and enumerated them.
……
Time passed.
Another ten days later.
Chen Fan arrived at the Red Flame Peak and saw the Red Flame Geocentric Flame located in the center of the earth.
Similarly, he had, this time, stayed at the Red Flame Peak for ten whole days.
At the same time, he also learned ten more fire attribute spells.
……
“Is this the Wanchuan River?”
After leaving from Red Flame Peak, Chen Fan arrived at the Wanchuan River.
It was a large river located a few hundred miles away from Cangwu Mountain.
It was not within the shroud of Cangwu Mountain’s Patriarchal Formation.
Instead, a separate guardian formation had been arranged.
Chen Fan stepped on the Wanchuan River, and as he looked away, he was able to see the rippling sea in the distance.
It was said that by following the sea outlet and going all the way forward, one would be able to find Bibo Island, one of the five major sects in Tiannan, a few thousand miles away.
The Wanchuan River in the eyes of the people of Cangwu Mountain refers to the mouth of this great river, that is, this place where Wanchuan converges.
“Sure enough, it’s still the Immortal Cultivation World that’s big!”
Chen Fan sighed in his heart.
He then came to the very center of the confluence of ten thousand rivers and took out a drop of light blue water that seemed to have endless rules of mystery and swallowed it in one gulp.
This drop of light blue water was the Essence of Ten Thousand Rivers.
And the best place to use this item was near the Wanchuan River.
……
“You want to exchange the Wanchuan Essence as well?”
Ten days later, in front of the Wanchuan River Treasure Trove, a young girl with a delicate face and white clothes like snow, who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, took out her identity token.
“It’s just that you came coincidentally, there is a new output of Ten Thousand River Essence, if you had come two days earlier, there wouldn’t have been enough Ten Thousand River Essence in the treasure vault.” In front of the treasure vault, a woman who looked to be in her thirties, shook her head and said.
“Wasn’t there a dozen drops before?”
The young woman was stunned at his words.
“There were a dozen drops, but Chen Fan of the Demon Wood Forest came over once ten days ago and redeemed the rest of the Ten Thousand River Essence.”
The woman shook her head.
“Chen Fan?”
The young girl’s eyes immediately lit up when she heard this.
She was one of Cangwu Mountain’s two Upper Grade Spiritual Root possessors, Jiang Xuexian.
As the top genius of Cangwu Mountain, she had naturally heard of Chen Fan’s name, only that she had never seen it before.
“He came here, he should be practicing on the Wanchuan River now, right?”
Jiang Xuexian’s eyes were radiant.
She already knew that she would be joining Chen Fan soon, traveling to the Foundation Building Mound Domain.
Before that, he very much wanted to meet Chen Fan, a growing spirit root genius who was even more famous than himself amongst the Cangwu Mountain.
Or rather, she wanted to find Chen Fan to spar.
“Two days ago, I heard that someone else had seen him on the Wanchuan River, as for whether he is still there now, it is unclear.”
The woman shook her head.
“I see.”
Jiang Xuexian sniffed and inquired about the exact location before immediately leaving.
“Senior Sister Jiang is looking for Chen Fan?”
“I saw that he left this morning, and when I asked, he said that he was preparing to cultivate at the Ancient Sword Abyss next.”
Only when Jiang Xuexian searched for him, she learned that Chen Fan had left long ago.
“Ancient Sword Abyss?”
Jiang Xuexian’s heart moved slightly.
She had just exchanged a few drops of Ten Thousand Rivers Essence, and she would have to spend time cultivating next as well, so it was impossible for her to go to the Ancient Sword Abyss to look for Chen Fan.
……
Ancient Sword Abyss.
In front of a huge sword-shaped ancient monument, Chen Fan stood quietly.
Under the excitement of the Ancient Sword Abyss’s grand formation, at this moment, the ancient sword monument in front of him exuded gusts of law mysteries. These law subtleties included the Laws of Gold and the Laws of the Sword.
When on Earth, swords were crafted by people.
But in the Tian Yuan Immortal Cultivation Realm, at the beginning of the birth of Heaven and Earth, there were innate sword weapons derived.
Therefore, in the Immortal Cultivation World, in addition to the regular various attribute law arcana, there were also many other law arcana.
Of course, the five elements were the foundation of everything.
All other Laws are actually included in the Five Elements.
At this moment, under the stimulation of the formation, the ancient monument in front of Chen Fan’s eyes no longer seemed to be an ancient monument, but rather had transformed into a spiritual sword that contained countless mysteries of the sword path.
When a small wish was made, Chen Fan began to watch and comprehend the subtleties.
In a short period of time, there was a realization.
……
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was fifteen days that had passed.
Compared to several other places, the time Chen Fan spent in the Ancient Sword Abyss was undoubtedly much longer.
This was because here, not only did he have to cultivate metallic spells, but he also had to figure out the Sword Sentry Technique.
“Time to go out!”
On this day, the light in Chen Fan’s eyes turned inward as he slowly walked out of the Ancient Sword Abyss.
After nearly two months of cultivation, he had newly mastered nearly sixty spells, and after mastering these spells, his mana had skyrocketed, reaching almost three times its original level.
However, at this point, the enhancement of his own mana would be limited if he cultivated all kinds of spells again.
“With my current realm at the seventh level of Qi cultivation, after that, if I want to grow my mana again, I’ll only be able to refine some of the spells to a deeper level, or learn some higher level spells.”
Chen Fan muttered to himself in his heart.
However, he also knew that higher grade spells often contained deeper Law subtleties as well.
With his current Spiritual Root Qualification, it would be very difficult for him to watch and sense such high grade Laws Arcana.
As for enlightenment ……
A high level of enlightenment is like a mouthful of good teeth.
For example, someone brings food to your mouth, but that food is exceptionally hard.
You have good teeth and you are able to eat that delicacy.
If you have bad teeth, even if the food is in your mouth, you can only be anxious, unable to bite or eat it.
As for spiritual root qualification, it can be compared to a mouth.
A high Spiritual Root Qualification is equivalent to having a wide-open mouth, and when you eat together, you can look for bigger pieces of food than others and swallow them into your own mouth.
Of course, how much of the food that you swallow into your mouth can be swallowed into your stomach depends on your own enlightenment and what kind of food you can chew into.
“The next step is to try to practice the Cangwu Five Elements Sword Formation.”
After walking out from the Ancient Sword Abyss, Chen Fan’s eyes flashed with essence.
The reason why he stayed in the Ancient Sword Abyss for the longest time was because in addition to spending time comprehending metallic spells, he also took out a large amount of time and comprehended the Imperial Sword Art.
At this time, his mastery of the Imperial Sword Art had already reached an extremely profound realm.
It was no longer difficult to achieve the ability to defend five swords at the same time.
And by defending five swords at the same time, he could then attempt to lay down the Cangwu Five Elements Sword Formation.
However, he knew nothing about formations.
There was still a need to delve into it before he could do so.
“Chen Fan went to the Formation Pavilion?”
Jiang Xuexian had an odd expression on her face.
When Chen Fan walked out of the Ancient Sword Abyss, she also happened to finish her cultivation, so she pondered and went to seek Chen Fan again.
Just before she could act, she got a new piece of information about Chen Fan from the token space.
With no choice, she could only temporarily press down the idea of sparring with Chen Fan.
Formation Pavilion.
This was the gathering place for the disciples of Cangwu Mountain who specialized in the line of Formation.
However, other disciples, if they wanted to delve into formations, they could also come.
It was only when using some resources that they needed to pay a fee.
Chen Fan still had some points left in his hand, so this was not a difficult task for him.
“So this is a formation ……”
In a quiet room, Chen Fan put down a jade slip in his hand that explained the basics of formations.
In fact, he had bought the Cangwu Five Elements Sword Formation a long time ago.
It had also been enlightened before.
If he were to lay down this formation now, he would be able to do so.
But ……
This kind of cloth formation was just a matter of knowing what it was, but not knowing what it was.
After the formation was laid down, he could only manage to roughly manipulate it.
And he could not bring out the full power of the Cangwu Five Elements Sword Formation.
Of course, like those disciples who got the Cangwu Five Elements Sword Formation, hastily rehearsed it, and then went to the Foundation Building Mound Domain, this was also the case.
However, Chen Fan did not want to only achieve this extent.
“Formation, it is also the utilization of various law arcana.”
“Because the deployment of formations requires the use of many materials to assist, and can also mobilize more Law Arcana, so once you master a powerful formation and lay it down, the terror of its power is also far beyond that of a spell!”
Chen Fan was mesmerized for a while.
Afterward, he stayed at the Formation Pavilion.
The formations were powerful, but if you wanted to study and understand them, you would encounter many difficulties.
However, he had a high Spiritual Root Qualification and strong comprehension, plus he had studied many spells before, and he already had his own understanding of the use of various Laws Arcana.
Therefore, he progressed very quickly under the influence of his own understanding.
In addition, when he encountered a place that he really understood, he could also spend points to find someone to ask for advice.
If he couldn’t figure it out even after asking for advice, he could even make a wish to solve it.
Therefore, in just twenty days, he had achieved a certain level of success in the art of formations.
He could easily set up some simple formations such as the Spirit Gathering Formation, Soundproofing Formation, Psychedelic Formation, Small Trapping Formation, Small Guardian Formation, and so on.
“The next step is to try and lay down the Cangwu Five Elements Sword Formation.”
Chen Fan took a deep breath with anticipation in his heart.
Once the Cangwu Five Elements Sword Formation was deployed, he would be able to easily cross the ranks.
Even if he was to face an Immortal Cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Practicing, he would have a certain level of confidence.
As for the Great Perfection of Qi Practicing ……
In the Tian Yuan Immortal Cultivation World, it was normal for Immortal Cultivators of the same level to defeat several people who were besieging them.
But to cross levels and fight, it was not something that anyone could do.
“Let’s go.”
With that thought, he walked out of the Formation Pavilion.
“Senior Brother Chen is leaving?”
A disciple saw Chen Fan and greeted him and asked.
“Yes, I am going to make a trip to the Immortal Dharma Peak to practice my next spell.”
Chen Fan said with a smile.
Immortal Dharma Peak was a special realm in Cangwu Mountain.
It was filled with a black mountain peak.
These black peaks were treasures that Cangwu Mountain had obtained from a blessed land of creation.
After its destruction, it wouldn’t take long for it to recover again.
Many of Cangwu Mountain’s disciples would come here when practicing their spells.
“Is this the Immortal Spell Peak?”
Chen Fan came to an unoccupied black peak and sat down on his knees.
“Chen Fan went to the Immortal Dharma Peak?”
Wanchuan River, Jiang Xuexian opened her disciple token in her spare time for cultivation, and with a sweep, she saw Chen Fan’s message.
“Immortal Dharma Peak!”
Jiang Xuexian’s eyes brightened.
All along, the Immortal Dharma Peak had been the best place for a group of disciples to spar with each other.
With that in mind, she lifted her clouds and flew straight in the direction of the Immortal Dharma Peak.
“Has anyone seen where Chen Fan is?”
“Chen Fan? I just saw a figure that went that way, very fast, it might be Chen Fan.”
At the same time, Jiang Xuexian also rushed to Immortal Dharma Peak.
Because of Chen Fan’s popularity, she knew the direction Chen Fan was heading in after a little inquiry, so she immediately rushed over.
“Jiang Xuexian came to look for Chen Fan?”
“I’ve heard that she was very belligerent in Wanchuan River before, often looking for people to spar with, this time, it can’t be that she’s here to look for Chen Fan to spar with, right?”
“Go, go over and take a look!”
Soon, the news that Jiang Xuexian was looking for Chen Fan spread out.
Afterward, some people rushed over to the Immortal Dharma Peak under curiosity.
In this regard, Jiang Xuexian did not know.
Of course she wouldn’t care even if she just knew.
“Whoosh!”
She rode the clouds and quickly skimmed above one of the peaks of Immortal Dharma Peak.
In fact, before coming to Chen Fan, she had already sent messages to Chen Fan more than once, through her identity token.
It was just a pity that ……
There were too many people who had contacted Chen Fan.
Other than the few he paid special attention to, for his private messages, he never took more than a glance.
“Is it him?”
Suddenly, after Jiang Xuexian flew for some time, her gaze condensed and she saw a figure sitting on a mountain peak from afar.
The slightest bit of battle spirit surged in her heart.
All along, she had been cultivated as an absolute genius.
In the Wanchuan River, there was no one who was her opponent amongst Immortal Cultivators of the same level.
Even if it was four or five disciples of the same level teaming up, she could easily deal with them.
Therefore, she had always lacked a good opponent.
It was precisely for this reason that she had been pining for Chen Fan, who was even more famous than herself on Cangwu Mountain.
“Chen ……”
She landed on a mountain peak and prepared to call out to Chen Fan.
“Out!”
Just at this moment, on top of a distant mountain peak, Chen Fan’s mind moved, and five flying swords emitting different lights emerged in front of him.
Golden Brilliant Cloud Piercing Sword!
Wooden Vine Soul Binding Sword!
Water Shadow Illusion Spirit Sword!
Fire Plume Burning Sky Sword!
Earth Rock Zhen Yue Sword!
Each of these five flying swords was a fine artifact.
“Rise!”
Chen Fan lightly droned, and the five flying swords simultaneously trembled, transforming into five rainbows that shot off in five directions.
“Five Elements Transformation Sword!”
Chen Fan pinched his hands and his body’s mana surged wildly.
Soon, with the five extreme grade magic weapon flying swords as the center, there were five elements of laws condensing.
These five elemental laws intertwined with each other and derived from each other, and soon gathered a large amount of spiritual qi and transformed into a five elemental spirit sword.
These spirit swords, all of which were only three feet long, emitted a light glow, and continuously swam in the sky above the mountain, looking like a dynamic swimming fish.
In a short period of time, such spirit swords, condensed out twenty five, then six hundred and twenty five …… formed a huge five element sword formation, hanging above his head.
For a time, the sky was filled with five-colored light.
However, these five-colored light flashes were filled with endless killing opportunities.
“This is ……”
In the distance, Jiang Xuexian stood dumbfounded as she saw this scene.
“Go!”
Then, with a thought, Chen Fan’s mind moved, and hundreds of spirit swords were shot in unison towards another mountain peak in front of him.
Rumble!
In an instant, the place was flooded by the skyless sword light, and in just the blink of an eye, the peak of that small mountain was obliterated and turned into pieces.
“Something is wrong with this senior sister?”
Chen Fan turned his body.
Swish Swish Swish ……
At the same time, countless spirit swords whistled back in the distance.
After these spirit swords returned, they unexpectedly shrunk into a small-sized spirit sword.
They were combined into a sword ring with the five elemental laws constantly deriving and changing, hanging in front of Chen Fan, and being stretched out by Chen Fan, they were held up above the palm of his hand, which seemed to be ready to be inspired into a huge sword array.
