From an ordinary boy to a legendary god

Chapter 836: Breakthrough to Overcome Challenges

After repelling the Blood Spirit Cult's attack, the disciples of the Immortal Sect weren't satisfied with their temporary victory. Lin Feng knew the Blood Spirit Cult wouldn't give up, and that despite some progress, the Immortal Sect's magic still had many shortcomings when facing similar crises. He decided to organize a comprehensive magic research and practice event to address the problems exposed in the previous battle and seek greater breakthroughs.

At the Xianmen magic seminar, Lin Feng looked at the focused disciples below the stage and said solemnly, "My fellow disciples, although we successfully broke through the formation in our last battle with the Blood Spirit Cult, we also clearly see that the challenges of improving our magic realm remain severe. We must learn from this battle and achieve a true breakthrough."

Su Yao spoke first. She tightly grasped the ice spell scroll in her hand and said, "Brother, I feel that although ice spells have made progress in breaking defenses, they are still somewhat powerless against defenses with special properties, such as the strange fog of the Blood Spirit Cult. Perhaps we can try to incorporate some targeted attribute spiritual power into ice spells, such as light spiritual power that can dispel fog." Su Yao's eyes revealed a firm desire to explore. She knew that only by continuous improvement could ice spells play a greater role in future battles.

Lin Feng nodded slightly, with approval in his eyes: "Su Yao, this idea is very creative. The clever fusion of spiritual powers of different attributes may allow the spell to produce unexpected effects. However, light spiritual power is more special. When it is combined with ice spiritual power, we must pay attention to the balance and coordination between the two."

Ling Yu went on to say, "Brother, although the stability and casting speed of the fusion spell have been improved, it still needs further optimization in the complex and changeable combat environment. I believe that by carefully combing the spiritual power veins, the flow of spiritual power in the body can be smoother, thereby improving the efficiency of spell casting." As Ling Yu spoke, he gestured in the air the routes of spiritual power flow, trying to convey his ideas clearly to everyone.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng said, "Lingyu, you've raised a key point. The casting of spells depends not only on the integration of spiritual energy, but also on the smooth flow of spiritual energy within the body. This requires us to have a deeper understanding and control of our own spiritual energy veins."

Mingxuan also stood up and said with some annoyance: "Senior brother, the 'Spirit Shadow Killing Technique' that is integrated with the 'Bewitching Mantra' did not work as expected in actual combat. The Blood Spirit Sect monks seem to have a strong resistance to illusions. I want to further strengthen the effect of the 'Bewitching Mantra' and at the same time combine it with the immortal sect's spiritual power training method to enhance the influence of the entire illusion on the enemy's mind." Mingxuan's eyes revealed a spirit of not admitting defeat, and he was determined to make this spell exert its due power.

Lin Feng encouraged him, "Mingxuan, if you have an idea, you should be bold in trying it. The immortal sect's spiritual power cultivation method is extensive and profound. If it can be skillfully combined with illusion, it will definitely take the 'Spirit Shadow Illusion Killing Technique' to a higher level."

After the seminar, the disciples each began their research along their assigned paths. Su Yao led the ice magic disciples to the Immortal Gate's Spirit Lake, where light spiritual energy was relatively abundant. Standing by the lake, Su Yao took a deep breath, feeling a mixture of anticipation and nervousness. "I hope I can successfully integrate light spiritual energy this time," she muttered to herself.

She first cast the ice spell "Ice Shield," and a crystal-clear ice shield appeared before her. Then, she carefully channeled light energy. Like golden threads, the light energy slowly melted into the ice shield. However, as soon as the two energies came into contact, a slight repulsion occurred, and tiny cracks appeared on the ice shield's surface.

"I'm still too impatient." Su Yao secretly blamed herself. She calmed down, carefully recalling Lin Feng's words about balance and coordination, and adjusted the way she introduced spiritual power. This time, she first fine-tuned the ice spiritual power to make it softer, and then slowly integrated the light spiritual power into it. The ice shield gradually stabilized, and a faint golden light appeared on the surface.

"Success!" Su Yao shouted excitedly. The other disciples followed suit, and after several attempts, they all successfully integrated light-based spiritual energy into ice-based spells. Su Yao looked at the golden-glowing ice sword in her hand and said, "Now let's test its power." She cast a "Light Ice Sword Slash" towards a distant boulder. The ice sword, emitting a golden glow, shot towards the boulder at a rapid speed, instantly piercing it. Wherever the light reached, cracks spread rapidly on the boulder, and it eventually collapsed with a loud bang.

Ling Yu, in her own training room, focused on organizing her spiritual energy. She closed her eyes tightly, her mind intensely focused, directing the energy to flow along specific pathways within her body. With each attempt, she carefully sensed the flow of the energy, constantly adjusting the subtleties of the pathways. After countless attempts, she finally found a smoother flow.

"This way, the speed of casting fusion spells should be greatly increased." Ling Yu stood up excitedly, eager to verify it. She cast a spell that combined water and earth elements, and saw the spell take shape instantly, almost twice as fast as before, and with greater stability.

Mingxuan and his disciples, skilled in illusions, delved into the Illusion Pavilion day and night. They delved deeply into the immortal sect's spiritual cultivation methods, integrating them with the "Bewitching Heart Curse." Mingxuan experimented with infusing his spiritual power into the "Bewitching Heart Curse," then integrating it into the "Spirit Shadow Illusion Killing Technique." When he performed it again, the illusions became even more realistic and emanated an invisible spiritual vibration.

One of the test subjects, upon coming into contact with the illusion, became dazed and lost in deep confusion. "Success! This kind of mental fluctuation can directly affect the enemy's mind, making them more susceptible to the illusion," Mingxuan said excitedly.

However, just as the disciples of the Immortal Sect were making significant progress in their magical advancement, a greater crisis loomed. The Blood Spirit Cult, allied with two other evil forces, formed the "Dark Alliance," and attacked once again with unbridled force. They had set up an even more powerful "Dark World-Destroying Formation" outside the Immortal Sect, surging with black demonic energy and emitting a chilling aura.

Lin Feng sensed the powerful threat surrounding the Immortal Gate and quickly summoned all his disciples. He met their determined gazes and declared, "Brothers and sisters, the enemy has attacked again, and this time they've joined forces with other forces to deploy an even more powerful formation. However, after all our efforts, we've achieved a breakthrough in our magic. Let's demonstrate to them with our strength that the Immortal Gate is inviolable!"

The disciples of the Immortal Sect shouted in unison: "Protect the Immortal Sect!" The sound resounded through the sky, full of the belief that they would win.

Lin Feng led his disciples outside the Immortal Gate to confront the Dark Alliance. The leader of the Blood Spirit Cult stood before the formation and declared triumphantly, "Everyone from the Immortal Gate, this time you can't escape! The 'Dark World-Destroying Formation' is powerful enough to raze your Immortal Gate to the ground!"

Lin Feng snorted coldly and said, "You villains, stop being so arrogant! Today is your end!"

Battle erupted instantly. Lin Feng charged the Dark World-Destroying Formation first, unleashing the "Sword Controlling the Universe" technique, a fusion of innovative elements. Spiritual energy surged through his body, and the sword shone brightly. A powerful blade emanated from him, slashing towards the formation. However, the demonic energy within the formation surged like a massive black wave, swallowing the sword beam.

Su Yao unleashed the ice spell "Light Ice Storm," a fusion of light spiritual energy. Countless golden ice spikes fell from the sky, shooting towards the formation. The ice spikes shone brightly as they weaved through the demonic energy, successfully dispelling some of it. However, the power of the formation was too great, and the ice spikes were quickly melted by the demonic energy.

Lingyu unleashed a modified fusion spell, "Water and Earth Collapse." The thick earthen wall, carrying a surging torrent of water, crashed into the formation. Driven by the current, the wall roared like a roaring beast, causing the formation to tremble slightly. However, the "Dark World-Destroying Formation" quickly repaired itself, firing back with beams of black light. Lingyu and the others quickly cast defensive spells to block the attack.

Mingxuan and the others unleashed their enhanced "Spirit Shadow Killing Technique." The phantom, carrying a powerful mental wave, charged towards the Dark Alliance cultivators. Some cultivators, affected by the mental wave, became confused and their attack rhythm disrupted.

Lin Feng seized the opportunity and shouted, "Everyone, take advantage of this opportunity and concentrate your forces to attack the core of the formation!"

The disciples of the Immortal Sect unleashed their most powerful spells, attacking the core of the formation. Lin Feng unleashed "Sword Slashing the Stars," sending a dazzling sword beam piercing the sky and striking the core of the formation. Su Yao unleashed "Light Ice Devil Slash," sending a massive sword of light and ice slashing towards the core with devastating force. Ling Yu unleashed "Fusion Power Burst," unleashing the full power of his fusion spell. Ming Xuan and the others used "Spirit Shadow Illusion Killing" to disrupt the enemy's attack, preventing them from protecting the core.

Under the combined force of their attacks, cracks appeared at the core of the "Dark World-Destroying Formation." Lin Feng, seizing the perfect opportunity, unleashed "Sword Breaking the Sky" once again, his most powerful attack, incorporating all his innovative elements. The sword's beam, with immense force, struck directly at the core of the formation.

With a loud bang, the Dark World-Destroying Formation collapsed, and the black demonic energy quickly dissipated. Seeing the situation was bad, the monks of the Dark Alliance fled.

Lin Feng watched the fleeing enemies, his heart filled with emotion. He turned to look at the disciples around him and said, "Everyone did a great job! This time we successfully overcame the challenge and achieved a breakthrough in the realm of magic. But we can't be complacent. The world of immortal cultivation is full of dangers. We must continue to work hard and constantly improve our strength."

The disciples cheered, knowing full well that under Lin Feng's leadership, the Xian Sect was steadily growing stronger by overcoming challenges. In the future, they would safeguard the Xian Sect's glory and peace with even stronger conviction and strength.
