"Old Di, your disciple has truly treated you well. I had already prepared all sorts of resources, but I won't give them to you. I can't let my disciple's good intentions go to waste. Take these top-grade source stones and strive to recover to the first-grade Martial Saint realm as soon as possible, and then make a breakthrough."
Master Bai smiled and handed Feng several fist-sized, milky-white stones.
Chen Feng looked closely and noticed that among the massive resources he had obtained from the geniuses of those alien races, there were actually thousands of such stones.
These stones looked ordinary, but when he carefully sensed them, he could detect an extremely rich energy aura emanating from them.
At first, Chen Feng did not realize that these stones were so precious, let alone that they would be of help to such powerful beings as first-grade and second-grade.
However, at this moment, after he truly understood its value, a surge of joy welled up in his heart.
With anticipation, Chen Feng quickly extended his divine sense into his storage compartment and began scanning it one by one.
After some investigation, he was surprised to find that although he possessed many of these source stones, only a few dozen of them were comparable in size to the one that Master Bai had taken out.
The rest of the Originium were not only much smaller in size, but also had a rather dull color, clearly indicating that their quality was far inferior to the former.
"Senior Bai Tianwang, I also snatched a few of these source stones from alien prodigies in the secret realm. Do second-grade Martial Venerables and first-grade Martial Saints need to use these source stones when cultivating? Is it to directly absorb the energy inside?" Chen Feng immediately took out a few dark source stones and asked.
"You're quite lucky, kid. The reason there are so many geniuses on the Myriad Races Continent is because they directly absorb the energy from source stones to cultivate from a young age, which is why so many powerful individuals emerge."
Our human race's territory is resource-poor; only top-tier experts can occasionally obtain some source stones. Otherwise, we could produce many more powerful individuals. However, your source stones are only low-grade and mid-grade.
Originium can be divided into low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. The more impurities it contains and the darker its color, the lower its grade. This top-grade Originium contains almost no impurities, which is why it is so pure.
Master Bai explained to Chen Feng how to identify source stones. After learning the method, Chen Feng discovered that among the source stones he had obtained, there were more than 4,200 low-grade source stones, more than 2,700 mid-grade source stones, 500-600 high-grade source stones, and only 88 top-grade source stones.
"If you cultivate using Originium, do you directly absorb the energy from the Originium?" Chen Feng continued to ask.
“That’s right. You can absorb the energy from the source stone while practicing your cultivation technique, but the amount of energy you can absorb each day is limited. Otherwise, if your body isn’t strong enough, you won’t be able to absorb much energy,” Bai Tianwang nodded.
Then, Di Feng flashed and arrived at the gate of the White King's residence. This residence was located in a secluded valley, surrounded by lush green trees, birdsong, and fragrant flowers, like a paradise on earth.
Di Feng gently pushed open the door and stepped inside. The room was simply yet elegantly furnished, with a futon placed in the center, clearly for cultivation.
Di Feng walked to the prayer mat, slowly sat down, closed his eyes, began to adjust his breathing, and entered a state of seclusion.
Here, no one could disturb him. The noise and disturbances of the outside world seemed to be isolated by an invisible barrier, allowing him to devote himself wholeheartedly to his cultivation.
Di Feng took a deep breath, circulated his internal energy cultivation technique, and guided the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to flow into his body continuously. This spiritual energy traveled through his meridians, gradually gathering in his dantian, nourishing his damaged body.
As time passed, a faint light emanated from Di Feng's body, which was the energy fluctuation generated as he repaired his physical body.
Moreover, Di Feng took advantage of this seclusion to quietly restore his strength. He carefully recalled every detail of the previous battles, analyzed his own shortcomings, and continuously improved and refined his moves and techniques.
And so, Di Feng immersed himself in cultivation day after day, tirelessly. Time passed quietly, and several months had gone by in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Di Feng's physical body underwent tremendous repair, and his strength also improved significantly. At this rate, he might actually break through to the Heavenly King realm in one fell swoop!
Meanwhile, Chen Feng returned to his villa. Looking at the familiar surroundings, he was filled with emotion. This journey to the secret realm had been fraught with hardship and danger, but it had also been incredibly rewarding. Now, he had finally returned to a peaceful life.
However, Chen Feng soon discovered that the semester was almost over, and he had wasted almost a semester in the secret realm.
"I'll be graduating in a year and a half, and I don't know if I'll be able to break through to the second-grade Martial Venerable realm before graduation."
Although his current level of mastery has far surpassed the records of all students who have successfully broken through to higher levels since the founding of various martial arts schools, Chen Feng's desire to continuously break this record has never been extinguished in the slightest.
He shines like a brilliant star on the path of martial arts, each step leaving behind a remarkable and glorious trail.
However, even so, he was still not satisfied with this and looked forward to going further and creating even more amazing feats, so that those students who later embarked on this path could only look up at his unattainable figure from afar.
If possible, Chen Feng even fantasized about advancing triumphantly and breaking through to the highest realm of First-Rank Martial Saint before finally ending his campus life with satisfaction.
Unfortunately, while ideals are beautiful, reality is always cruel and merciless. After much deliberation, even he himself had to admit that achieving such a grand goal was far too difficult, almost an impossible task.
Even if he only manages to graduate at the level of a second-grade Martial Venerable, Chen Feng is very clear that for a long time to come, no one will be able to match the astonishing record he has set.
Because the path he has walked is filled with countless hardships and challenges that are unimaginable to ordinary people, and the achievements forged by these valuable experiences are by no means easily surpassed.
In fact, even though Chen Feng graduated from the academy with the realm of a second-grade Martial Venerable, his true combat strength at that time may have already broken through to the astonishing level of a first-grade Martial Saint!
This is a huge leap forward.
Once he embarks on his journey, his figure will inevitably appear on the most dangerous and crucial front lines of the human race.
There, he will face powerful martial saint-level opponents from various alien races, engaging in thrilling and life-or-death battles.
Every battle could determine the survival or decline of humanity, and every move contained boundless power and wisdom.
However, faced with such difficulties and dangers, Chen Feng showed no fear. Instead, relying on his outstanding talent and the profound skills he had gained through tireless cultivation, he forged ahead and fought bravely against the enemies of the human race.
