Chapter 309: Chapter 297: Breakthrough to the Spirit Sea Realm (1/3)

(Chapter 296 merged with this Chapter)

Zhou Heng gave a slight smile and said, "Alright!"

He naturally didn’t mind marrying this rare beauty, a gem seldom seen in the world. Beauties like Mei Yixiang or Bai Feifei might appear a few times in a great empire, but Ying Mengfan was absolutely a peerless beauty who emerged only once every several decades, or even a century.

Zhou Heng never denied his strong possessiveness. From the moment Ying Mengfan left the Ying Family with him, he had already considered her his woman.

But that didn’t mean he wanted to possess her right now.

Her Mysterious Yin Physique indeed had a great attraction to him, but Ying Mengfan’s pitiful intelligence also constantly reminded him that taking advantage of such a young girl was really not a decent thing to do.

He wasn’t a good man, but neither was he despicable.

Ying Mengfan giggled. A child could be satisfied with just a few words. She sat next to Zhou Heng, rested her chin on his shoulder, and hummed a song softly.

Zhou Heng had been rather annoyed, but seeing her carefree smile, he couldn’t help but show a relaxed grin, and he ruffled her hair.

"Zhou, Heng, I want to be your bride!" Ying Mengfan puckered her lips and leaned toward Zhou Heng, "I want you to kiss me!"

"You’re still a bit too young!" Zhou Heng pulled back slightly.

"Where am I still young?" Ying Mengfan said with a face full of defiance, proudly thrusting her ample bust forward, "Lianlian, Qingqing, Shuishui, none of them are as big as me! I heard Nannan say that a big chest means you’ve grown up!"

Zhou Heng was speechless; what was this all about?

Looking at Ying Mengfan’s hopeful eyes, he leaned in and gave her lips a light peck, as if touching the water with a dragonfly’s wing. But before he could pull away, she grabbed him, and a small tongue was already slipping inside.

Zhou Heng’s head buzzed, and heat rushed to his brain. He already had little self-control around Ying Mengfan, and now with this beauty in his arms, the hidden fragrance wafting, how could he not be excited?

...

Young men and women always crave the forbidden fruit; once they start, it’s hard to stop—rolling clouds and rain, entwined in every way.

No one knew how much time passed before the lakeside finally quieted down again.

Ying Mengfan blushed, telling Zhou Heng to let go, yet in the end, she clung to him like a koala, wanting more and more—a greedy child with no restraint.

Making love didn’t deplete spiritual power, but it was certainly a rigorous physical activity. Both exhausted after countless bouts, their breaths heavy, the passion slowly cooled.

"Feeling better now?" Zhou Heng looked at Ying Mengfan, his eyes gleaming with delight.

"Ptui!" Ying Mengfan spat, her cheeks burning red. She felt a mix of shame and annoyance, along with an emotion she couldn’t quite name herself.

In the past few days, although her intelligence had regressed, her senses of sight and hearing hadn’t diminished. She knew well that Zhou Heng was very caring toward her. Or rather, she even admired him a bit—how many men could restrain themselves for so long?

And... she was also afraid that Zhou Heng would spank her again. It was painful and embarrassing, and in the end, they would end up rolling in the sheets again. She had only just finished putting her clothes back on, for heaven’s sake!

Zhou Heng extended his hand and pulled, and Ying Mengfan tumbled into his arms. He cradled the incomparably beautiful face of this woman and slowly leaned in to kiss her.

At first, Ying Mengfan revealed a panicked look, her eyes flickering, her face flushing like the rosy clouds, but soon she showed a dazed and infatuated expression, willingly puckered her lips, closed her phoenix eyes, and moved towards Zhou Heng.

However, after a long while of not feeling Zhou Heng’s kiss, she couldn’t help but open her charming eyes, but just at that moment, she saw only darkness as Zhou Heng pressed his lips fiercely against hers.

"Mmm—" She let out an enchanting moan and clumsily responded to Zhou Heng’s ardor, quickly having her teeth pried apart, her little fragrant tongue undefended, incessantly sucked and nibbled by Zhou Heng.

"Kissing is already embarrassing, and you still have to suck someone’s saliva, aren’t you ashamed?"

Zhou Heng burst into hearty laughter and then said with earnestness, "First circulate your energy and breathe, refine the benefits gained!"

The first release of a Mysterious Yin Physique generally benefits only the man, with the woman only burning herself up, her beauty fading until she perishes. However, Zhou Heng had consumed the Golden Sun Grass King, which benefited both parties, but as a result, the benefits he received were far less than if he had "devoured" the other person.

Which man would want to see a peerless beauty like Ying Mengfan wither and depart from this world?"Mhm!" Ying Mengfan nodded, but her expression was far from docile, and her personality was something Zhou Heng had to explore again.

Both of them sat cross-legged, circulating spiritual power to refine the benefits they had just received.

Though Zhou Heng hadn’t obtained Ying Mengfan’s lifetime of cultivation, the cycling of yin and yang, and the circulation forming a circle, resulted in a great surge of nature’s spiritual energy with each completion, akin to a martial artist breaking through a realm, bringing immense and boundless benefits.

The Heavenly Yang and Earthly Yin Technique operates on this principle, but compared to the mutual nourishment of the Mysterious Yin Physique and Golden Sun Grass King, its effects are much less, not to mention inferior to the initial bloom of the Mysterious Yin Physique.

This spiritual power was incredibly easy to refine, continuously elevating Zhou Heng’s accumulation of spiritual power.

He had not stopped practicing the Heavenly Yang and Earthly Yin Technique with Han Yulian and several other ladies these days, and combined with the Life Essence Qi absorbed by the Black Sword, he had reached the Medium Period of Third Layer Heaven of the Mountains and Rivers Realm. Now, with the benefits of Ying Mengfan’s Mysterious Yin Physique, his accumulation of spiritual power began to skyrocket rapidly.

The accumulation of spiritual power given by Ying Mengfan was not a bit less than that of Han Yulian!

This stunning beauty had already reached the Peak Third Layer Heaven of the Mountains and Rivers Realm before her intelligence regressed, and she could have broken through to the Spirit Sea Realm faster than Han Yulian. However, due to the affair with Ying Cheng’en, her spirit locked within, a breakthrough naturally became hopeless.

Yet, with the innate purity of a child, her accumulated spiritual power, though it may not have grown a bit over these past ten-plus years, had been honed to extreme purity, and in terms of quality, she could be called the number one in the Mountains and Rivers Realm.

This greatly benefited Zhou Heng!

Late period, peak of the Third Layer Heaven of the Mountains and Rivers Realm!

His accumulation of spiritual power soared to the sky, and abruptly, Zhou Heng opened his eyes, having reached the limit of the realm, unable to further increase even a trace of spiritual power.

When the cup is full, it overflows, only a larger cup can hold more water.

In terms of the Martial Path, this meant needing to further expand the Dantian Space!

Zhou Heng closed his eyes once more and began to assault the Spirit Sea Realm directly.

After creating the Mountains and Rivers, the next step was to forge a great sea, continuing to perfect his Inner World.

A land capable of nurturing life is nothing without water, and no matter how large the lakes or rivers, how could they compare to the ocean? This is yet another qualitative change.

Once the Spirit Sea emerged within, the spiritual power was endless, a continuous cycle of life, and there was basically no need to worry about running out of spiritual power—of course, if one encountered something like the Swift Cloud Radiant Step which was a major consumer of spiritual power, that would be a different matter, it’s like setting the Golden Crow on fire, even the ocean would be boiled dry in an instant!

Zhou Heng’s Divine Sense took on human form, standing on the desolate land within his Inner World.

In this Inner World, he was God!

With his right hand clawing at the sky, boom, meteorites immediately fell from the sky, pounding towards the ground, the immense sound echoing, the continent cracking continuously, revealing spiderweb-like fissures.

More and more dense, deeper and deeper!

Zhou Heng’s right hand clawed even more frantically, not only did the number of meteorites increase, but their size grew as well, from the size of a house to that of a small town, crazily bombarding the ground.

The earth let out mournful cries, revealing massive sinking pits, and the entire continent, like dough, was being flattened and expanded towards all directions.

—How much one could expand was a test of each person’s talent and perseverance.

A typical Spirit Sea Realm could expand by five hundred times, and any expansion beyond that base was a profit.

The Inner World was connected to one’s Divine Sense; though the expansion of the continent was a cause for celebration, it was also an immense torture to oneself, where every inch expanded felt like tearing one’s consciousness into two halves, an unspeakable agony.

But one must endure, otherwise stopping after just four or five times of expansion would be a joke, right? The weakest Spirit Sea Realm in history?

Initially, the expansion was naturally fastest, but in just half an hour, Zhou Heng had already achieved a four-hundred-fold expansion of his Dantian Space. This wasn’t difficult for anyone transitioning from the Spirit Sea Realm—didn’t everyone have this bit of willpower?

From here, the expansion of the Dantian World began to slow down.

Four hundred fifty times!

Four hundred eighty times!

Five hundred times!

Sweat the size of soybeans rolled down Zhou Heng’s forehead, as if water had been poured over him, continuously streaming down, his whole body trembling, the bones in his body constantly making thunderous reverberations, resonant as a grand bell and chanting of the great Dao.

Under the continuous bombardment of meteorites, the rudimentary form of a Spirit Sea had already formed within him, and all it needed was the infusion of spiritual power to become an eternal and self-sustaining Spirit Sea.

If he stopped now, the nature’s spiritual energy would immediately cleanse his body, solidifying his realm.

But how could Zhou Heng be satisfied with just a five hundred-fold expansion of his Dantian Space?

He could still hold on!

Continue!

Zhou Heng’s face, neck, and hands were all pulsing with veins, his whole body uncontrollably shaking. The Spirit Sea Realm was the last barrier before transcending the mundane, and it truly required great willpower.

Not enough yet?

The Zhou Heng within the Dantian Space grinned, clawing the sky with his right hand and the earth with his left, boom, boom, boom, the sky continued to be pelted with meteorites while the earth began to quake, the Spirit Sea steadily expanding and thus pushing the entire continent to extend.

Five hundred ten times, five hundred twenty times, five hundred thirty times!

Crack!

A bone in Zhou Heng’s arm broke, and amidst splattering blood, golden bones and silver bone marrow spilled out, yet not even a frown creased his brow, he just continued clawing the sky and earth, shaking the Mountains and Rivers, creating a perfect Inner World.

Crack, another bone broke, crack, crack, crack, the bones in his body kept breaking, and his whole body seemed like it was turning into a pile of mud, blood flowing everywhere.

Although the strength of his bones had reached the level of Mountains and Rivers Realm magic artifacts, he was actually in the Spirit Sea Realm now, only his realm had not yet been solidified. But with Zhou Heng’s monstrous talent, a breakthrough provided him with a terrifying spiritual power far beyond that of an ordinary Spirit Sea Realm, which was enough to harm himself.

Six hundred seventy times!

Seven hundred times!

Seven hundred fifty times!

Zhou Heng’s body no longer had a single intact bone, and he seemed as if he had fallen apart, as if at any moment he could turn into a puddle of mud.

He couldn’t continue any longer!

Zhou Heng sighed. His physical body was not strong enough yet; otherwise, he could have expanded the Dantian Space by a few more times, but continuing now without the protection of his bones, the raging spiritual power would crush his internal organs and brain matter first.

He stopped.

Boom!

Nature’s spiritual energy surged crazily, beginning to cleanse his body, rapidly increasing his spiritual power accumulation, solidifying his realm.

With a shift in Zhou Heng’s thoughts, his broken bones immediately softened, fused together, and then regenerated, instantly unharmed, his golden bones emitting Divine Radiance, as if a Heavenly God had descended.

Flesh renewed, Azure Dragon Bloodline flowing, brimming with vitality.

Spirit Sea Realm!

Zhou Heng clenched his fists, boom, terrifying power surged within his body, as though with one punch, he could pierce through heaven and earth completely.

Three hundred and sixty times the Dantian Space of an ordinary Spirit Sea Realm!

The Spirit Sea was turbulent, boundless.

Zhou Heng sensed the three types of Bloodline Power, now even the Crimson Gold Bloodline and Purple Flame Bloodline had reached, or even surpassed, the Ten Stars Heavenly Spirit Body. But beyond the Ten Stars Heavenly Spirit Body, there was no standard for judgment.

He unclenched his fists, it was now time to take revenge.
