Chapter 978: Chapter 995: Significant Improvement
Evans and Hymes were each within blue and green columns of light, bathing in the rain descending from the dark clouds. The remaining red, orange, and yellow columns were occupied by the powerhouses from Dragon Country, Country M, and other countries. Everyone entered the columns of light, soaking in the spiritual rain, absorbing its power.
The power of this spiritual rain was beyond their imagination; Liu Mu clearly felt his insight into Conception rapidly enhance. Although Liu Mu felt a chasm still existed between him and the second level of Conception, within the column of light bathing in the spiritual rain, his mind became utterly lucid.
At this moment, Liu Mu felt incredibly close to the second level of Conception, seemingly just one step away, almost within reach, ready to grasp.
Everyone was immersed in the joy of bathing in the spiritual rain, seizing the opportunity as it continued to fall.
However, they were unaware that the seven-colored spiritual rain was graded, and Ye Feng’s purple spiritual rain was the finest, the most advanced, with the purest spiritual energy. Although everyone felt the spiritual energy emitted by the seven-colored rain was intensely rich, Ye Feng’s was the purest, requiring almost no refinement, easily converting the rain’s power into his own.
This mysterious phenomenon also signaled the appearance of the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb, and everyone began to anticipate eagerly.
The Sword Tomb had not yet appeared, but they already obtained such a fortuitous encounter, leaving everyone very joyful.
Time flew by, and soon three hours had passed. Finally, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the columns of light in the void also faded away. The spiritual rain quickly disappeared.
Finally, calm was restored around, and smiles appeared on everyone’s faces.
Obviously, under the nourishment of the spiritual rain, everyone made significant progress, especially Ye Feng. Unbeknownst to everyone, during the spiritual rain, Ye Feng gained the most as his purple rain was far more advanced than what they bathed in, which greatly surprised Ye Feng.
He never expected the rain to have such a remarkable effect; the power Ye Feng needed to accumulate to break through to the Divine Realm surprisingly increased from twenty-five percent to fifty percent in just three hours.
You must understand that Ye Feng had accumulated the twenty-five percent power over a very long time, consuming many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Yet in these brief three hours, his power accumulated up to fifty percent, boosting another twenty-five percent, leaving everyone extremely excited.
"Boom!" At this moment, the entire mountain range began to shake.
Everyone became tense, as the disappearance of the celestial phenomenon indicated that the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb was about to appear.
Sure enough, with storms converging, waves of energy surged forth.
The mountain range trembled, and even in space, waves of ripples appeared.
"Crack!~" Just then, the mountain where Ye Feng and the others were residing split right down the middle.
"Boom~~~" The mountain shook continuously, the range quickly cracking open in the middle. The fissure expanded, finally becoming a massive chasm.
Suddenly, in the center of the chasm, a giant space vortex appeared, swirling.
Then, the vortex shattered, transforming into a space rift, light bursting forth. Finally, a colossal stone gate, dozens of feet high, spontaneously appeared, floating in the void.
The majestic and grand gate depicted vivid and lifelike mountains, rivers, birds, and beasts, as if they were real.
The eyes of everyone were filled with light, and on Old War God’s face appeared a smile. "This is the entrance gate to the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb. Indeed, the legends were not false, Xuanyuan Sword Tomb truly exists!" he exclaimed happily.
Ye Feng nodded. Though the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb appears once every three years, the gate does not manifest in this world.
This time, it was because Cheng Ying, Zhanlu, Fish Intestine, and Chi Xiao, the four Divine Swords, had gathered, and Xuanyuan Sword Tomb sensed it, causing the gate to appear before them.
Without the gathering of the four legendary swords, even if Xuanyuan Sword Tomb appeared, the gate would not have presented itself. Everyone gazed upon the massive stone gate of Xuanyuan Sword Tomb, noticing there were four keyholes on the door.
The four keyholes had different shapes, matching perfectly with Chi Xiao Sword, Cheng Ying Sword, Fish Intestine Sword, and Zhanlu Sword.
By this time, Evans and Hymes were already impatient. Evans looked at Old War God, saying, "Duan Lingfeng, remember your promise? Now that Xuanyuan Sword Tomb has appeared, isn’t it time to return the Fish Intestine Sword to me?"
Old War God nodded, then turned to Ye Feng. Ye Feng promptly retrieved the Fish Intestine Sword and tossed it to Evans, whose eyes were brimming with excitement as he caught it.
At this moment, Evans could not afford any quarrel with Ye Feng; he only wanted to enter the Xuanyuan Sword Tomb to see what opportunities awaited inside.
Evans said, "Duan Lingfeng, Hymes, let’s quickly open the gate to Xuanyuan Sword Tomb!"
Upon hearing Evans’ words, Duan Lingfeng and the others nodded. Then, Ye Feng wielded the Chi Xiao Sword, Evans held the Fish Intestine Sword, Old War God took the Fish Intestine Sword, and Hymes held the Cheng Ying Sword, stepping forward to face the giant gate.
Almost simultaneously, the four inserted their swords into the gate’s keyholes.
As they inserted, Ye Feng and the others twisted their sword handles in unison.
"Click!" A loud noise echoed, and the gate began to tremble.
"Boom~~~" The sound of the heavy stone door echoed clearly through heaven and earth, waves of sound resounding. Then, the gate of Xuanyuan Sword Tomb gradually opened, and at the moment it opened, a powerful wave of energy surged out from within the gate.
That wave, filled with dense Treasure Energy, shook everyone’s hearts.
