Chapter 1080: Just A Punch!

Still inside the palace, Lin Pheng sat down cross-legged. The force was still there, however, Lin Pheng felt more relaxed than before. Of course, it was still oppressive, but Lin Pheng understood it a lot better and on top of that, he was getting used to it.

Pure sun Qi revolved around him and Lin Pheng absorbed that force. The palace was filled with pure Qi. Even without using stones, he could still absorb plenty of pure Qi. Therefore, he could practice cultivation calmly in there. Lin Pheng was determined to become stronger.

At that moment, inside the palace, some marks appeared and revolved in the palace.

Bzz!" the energies exploded in the palace and surrounded Lin Pheng. He was bathing in dazzling lights. He was getting familiar with the Earth and sky, as if he was fusing together with it. It was a natural strength.

Qiong Qi opened his eyes and looked at Lin Pheng. Interesting. His eyes were twinkling as he sat down respectfully. Since he had turned into an animal, he hadn't been that close to the strength of the path. Tiantai's emperors seemed like they attached a lot of importance to the path. They hoped their best cultivators could learn about it as soon as possible.

Every emperor attached importance to the path. Tiantai's emperors were no different.

The sun became even more dazzling. Lin Pheng was sitting and bathing in those golden lights. The celestial Qi of the palace became even thicker and richer, and definitely more dazzling.

That was the energy of the ten thousand things of creation: trees, flowers, water, Water started flowing around Lin Pheng. It seemed like an illusion.

Lin Pheng was sitting motionless as he looked calm and serene. Qiong Qi looked at him respectfully. It was as if there was nobody around Lin Pheng. It was like the big bang, the creation of the universe.

The fire became even more intense and Lin Pheng felt hot. Soon the fire illuminated the room.

Lin Pheng lost the notion of time as he was already holding his Tian Xuan stone. It was glowing now as strange lights and energies flowed in Lin Pheng's body. He was trying to understand them. He attracted them to his brain, into his spirit. He was in his void world which looked like the outside world, but more distinct, clearer.

His spirit was absorbing the strength of the Earth and sky.

"I'm absorbing the Earth and sky." thought Lin Pheng. He was more and more surprised by his spirit. It was extraordinary. He was wondering how he had obtained such an extraordinary spirit. He could use it to memorize holy marks, skills, , now he could use it to focus the strength of the path, the Earth and the sky!

Lin Pheng didn't stop practicing cultivation. It felt so comfortable to study there after all. The pure Qi he absorbed was also incredibly fresh: so rich and thick. His fire became stronger. Everything was so distinct in his brain.

After three more days, Lin Pheng's fire slowly disappeared. The dazzling lights around him faded and the atmosphere became calm again. The illusion gradually disappeared. There were only fading lights in the palace, like the mysterious intent of the path.

"What a strange palace!" thought Lin Pheng. It contained an explosive force. Lin Pheng practiced three days and reached the top of the fourth Tian Qi layer, one more step and he'd break through to the fifth Tian Qi layer.

Lin Pheng turned around and looked at Qiong Qi. Qiong Qi said nothing. He had sensed the strength of the path and that was great. Besides, he couldn't hide his cultivation level anymore either.

"Level five Tian level beast, he hid his cultivation level! I knew it!" thought Lin Pheng. Qiong Qi had become stronger than him earlier. Each time he became stronger, he didn't mind staying next to Lin Pheng and doing nothing.

Qiong Qi sensed something, he opened his eyes and looked at Lin Pheng. "You inspected my cultivation level!"

"You lied to me!" said Lin Pheng. Qiong Qi looked at Lin Pheng in a disdainful way and said, "You were just too slow."

"Slow?" Lin Pheng was speechless. After having broken through to the Tian Qi layer, he had progressed so fast. He wasn't slow at all.

Lin Pheng walked into the palace and looked at the illusion in the mirror again. Lin Pheng was determined this time. He had practiced hard for three days and now he could use the force of the Earth and sky to a higher degree. He tried to attack the mirror again, but it was always the same.

He continued for half a month and continued becoming stronger. Lin Pheng believed that he needed to go out and face dangerous situations to break through to the fifth Tian Qi layer.

The path of cultivation was mysterious and there weren't any fixed rule. Cultivators had to understand cultivation to become stronger.

Lin Pheng went down the stairs and stopped on the fourth group of steps, he saw a big road and there were many people residing there. Qiu Yue Xin, Lin Ruo Tian, and so on. For them, it was the same, they also had to face illusions with their own self inside.

"Lin Pheng!" said Qiu Yue Xin when she saw Lin Pheng. She suddenly looked relaxed and smiled at him. She said, in a gentle way, "When you practice cultivation, you forget everything, you haven't come in a month!"

"I missed you, that's why I came now." said Lin Pheng smiling. Qiu Yue Xin rolled her eyes and said, "You're such a flirt."

"Lin Pheng, brother, you want to come and try?" said Lin Ruo Tian. He was also getting attacked by the mirror. Even though Lin Pheng had refused to join the Lin Clan, Lin Ruo Tian still considered Lin Pheng a close friend.

"That illusion is so annoying. The emperors want us to understand how they created those illusions. We can't pass this test." said Qiu Yue Xin. She was obviously annoyed. She came from a rich and powerful family so she understand what that test consisted of.

Lin Pheng raised his head and said, "It seems like analytical and understanding skills are the most important thing for the emperors. Once we pass those tests, we can join them on the tenth floor."

"Maybe." whispered Qiu Yue Xin.

Lin Pheng walked towards the illusion, his reflection appeared, motionless.

Lin Pheng stepped forwards, the Earth and sky emitted a bumping sound. Some strength was flowing into Lin Pheng's hand. He punched the illusion and a sound spread in the air. Natural strength immediately flowed into his body.

"Kacha!"

Lin Pheng's reflection shook, force flowed in the reflection and it disappeared, it was destroyed. Qiu Yue Xin and Lin Ruo Tian were completely astonished.

They couldn't destroy their reflections and Lin Pheng could destroy his with only one punch?
