"What?! All of you broke through!?"
After everyone completed their breakthroughs, Chen Junting and the others reported to the sect master. Upon learning this news, Sect Master Ning Bowen and the grand elders in the sect were all shocked.
This was only a little over a month!
The speed was too fast!
Fortunately, Chen Junting provided an explanation, and after several grand elders inspected them and found that everyone's cultivation was solid, they finally felt relieved. What replaced their worry was another wave of excitement.
The golden age of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had truly arrived!
However, upon learning that only Nan Qiuqiu, Xiao Xiao, and Ji Juechen had condensed soul rings, while the others had spirit souls but no soul rings yet, they couldn't help but feel a wave of confusion.
"Uncle Ning, Yuhao is because his spirit soul has reached the maximum number of soul rings it can provide. So for his Spirit Eyes and Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial souls, he either needs to hunt for a soul ring or contract another spirit soul. Or have his spirit soul advance from ten thousand years to a hundred thousand years. Of course, there's another option like ours—self-condensing soul rings."
"So that's how it is."
After hearing Chen Junting's explanation, Ning Bowen nodded in understanding. But just as he nodded, he realized something was wrong.
He suddenly looked at Chen Junting, "Did you just say self-condensing!?"
At this, all the grand elders became unsettled.
"Yes, but it still needs to be attempted."
Chen Junting nodded, "If this is the case, then the others' breakthrough times will need to be pushed back. Because I need to experiment on myself to ensure my self-condensing method is feasible."
"Good!"
Excitement appeared on Ning Bowen's face as he clapped and laughed.
"What help do you need?"
Chen Junting shook his head, "I can only rely on myself. I will conduct it in the basement, ensuring sufficient origin energy and a quiet environment."
"No problem."
Upon hearing this, Ning Bowen nodded solemnly, "Before you succeed, the sect will absolutely not let anyone disturb you."
Then, he looked at the others.
"Right, you all want to self-condense soul rings, correct?"
"Wait, Sect Master! Not me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Feng immediately raised her hand. While raising it, she also cast her gaze toward her grandfather.
"Sword... Brother Junting told me that my grandfather already prepared a hundred-thousand-year soul ring for me, and he told me to absorb that."
Ning Bowen and the others were first stunned, then suddenly realized!
At this moment, Wu Yan's eyes brightened, "Good granddaughter, can you withstand the impact of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring!?"
He had been waiting for this moment for quite some time.
However...
"No!"
Wu Feng shook her head decisively.
At this moment, her voice was actually somewhat righteous and confident.
If it was at Level 80, she had confidence to absorb it. But if it was at Level 70 relying on herself, she might as well wait for death.
And this also made Wu Yan's face fall slightly.
You girl! You don't even have confidence, then...
Almost subconsciously, Wu Yan and Wu Feng simultaneously turned their heads toward Chen Junting, staring straight at him. Obviously, they knew that since Chen Junting said it, there should be a way to accomplish it.
And the facts were just as they anticipated.
"Under normal circumstances, Wu Feng is indeed still a bit lacking. However, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower has lost its spiritual intelligence, and I can control it to voluntarily offer its soul ring and soul bone, then leave its immortal herb body behind for Grandpa Wu to consume."
"So that's how it is."
Wu Yan nodded, then took out the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower from his storage soul tool and handed it to Chen Junting.
"Then Little Chen, I'll leave this to you."
"Alright."
Chen Junting received the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, "Then let's first find a quiet place for Little Feng to obtain her soul ring. If I'm not mistaken, after obtaining the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower's soul ring, Little Feng's martial soul should be able to completely transform into Ultimate fire."
Thus, everyone headed to the core area of the Fire Geothermal Vein. Then, Chen Junting took Wu Feng inside.
A wave of fiery aura immediately rushed toward them.
"Prepare yourself."
Chen Junting didn't delay either. After having Wu Feng cut off the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower's roots, he had her sit cross-legged with her back to him.
Then, a stream of gray airflow emerged from behind him.
Obviously, controlling the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower's voluntary offering wasn't something Chen Junting would do this time—it was Electrolux who would be manipulating it.
After Electrolux's figure appeared, Chen Junting said respectfully, "Teacher, I'll trouble you next."
"Hehe—no trouble, no trouble."
Electrolux gently stroked his beard, then reached out and pointed.
The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, which had begun producing a soul ring, started swaying wildly. In the next second, a terrifying energy instantly burst forth!
In an instant, it enveloped Wu Feng.
And at this moment, Chen Junting also waved his hand grandly. Array patterns emerged one after another, appearing beneath Wu Feng. As the array activated, a mist instantly rose, concealing Wu Feng.
As for the reason... at this moment, under the envelopment of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower's energy, in just a moment's time, all the clothes on Wu Feng's body turned to ashes, revealing her athletic muscular figure.
The energy produced by the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was just as domineering as its medicinal effects. At this moment, layers of fine fluid constantly seeped out from beneath Wu Feng's skin, and her body also turned as red as a cooked shrimp, even her hair was the same.
Soon, a blood-red soul ring appeared on her body.
As time passed, the blood-red soul ring gradually settled onto Wu Feng's body, perfectly taking shape. Seeing this, Electrolux waved his hand grandly, forcefully cutting off the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower from Wu Feng.
Then, a right arm bone quietly took shape.
Reaching out to tap the right arm bone, this right arm bone flew toward Wu Feng, who was enveloped by the array, and merged into her right arm.
As time passed, "Roar—"
A violent dragon roar burst forth!
At the same time, an even more scorching temperature erupted.
Seeing this, Chen Junting quickly activated his soul tool protective shield, protecting himself within it to avoid the high temperature's assault.
"As expected! It has already reached the degree of Ultimate fire."
"Ha—"
Under the mist's concealment, Wu Feng let out a light shout.
Opening her mouth to inhale wildly, the flames surrounding her body immediately turned into threads that condensed toward her mouth. In a short while, they disappeared completely, and she also suddenly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were bright and spirited, with violent intent fully displayed.
"So refreshing!"
Wu Feng clenched both hands!
Scorching flames and terrifying energy burst forth.
And just at this moment, Chen Junting's helpless voice came, "Stop shouting! Put on your clothes."
Wu Feng was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looking down at herself, only to discover that there wasn't even a piece of cloth on her body.
Instantly, her face became extremely flushed red.
Her gaze immediately swept around. Seeing that she was concealed by the mist, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly took out clothes from her storage soul tool and rapidly put them on herself.
At this moment, Wu Feng was already a Level 74 Soul Saint.
