Douluo Dalu - The Story Of Sheng Feilong Chapter 229

Sheng Feilong and the others continued to cultivate normally during the next few weeks . Under Song Weihan's supervision, everything went smoothly; Yuanen Yehui was mostly focusing on increasing her Soul Power, while Huang Jialong did the same . After his breakthrough to the Soul Saint realm, She Meixiao told him to train together with the others as she didn't feel the need to supervise him .

Sheng Feilong's training mostly consisted of cultivating his Spirit Power with Song Weihan . He had already been at the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm before they went to Shrek Academy . The next step was for him to advance to the Spirit Domain Realm; A fabled level of spiritual strength that only the best of the best could reach .

According to old stories, reaching the Spirit Domain rank in Spirit Power was the first step to achieving G.o.dhood; Without sufficiently strong Spirit Power, one wouldn't be able to breach the final burden, even if they remained a rank 99 Limit Douluo for hundreds of years . Yet, Sheng Feilong was about to reach this level at the young age of 18; Even for Song Weihan, this was unprecedented – He himself only reached it in his thirties, when he was at the peak of the Soul Douluo boundary .

For every person, reaching the Spirit Domain level was a hurdle they had to overcome by themselves . Although Song Weihan specifically trained Sheng Feilong in his Spirit Power even now, when it came to the actual breakthrough into the Spirit Domain Realm, all he could do was tell Sheng Feilong of his own experiences as reference .

A week into the training, Song Weihan already had extremely high hopes for Sheng Feilong; He had reached the absolute peak of the Spirit Abyss realm – A Spirit Power of 19 . 999 points – and was actually already able to see through the elements in the air and differentiate them from the compound origin power .

"You're doing really well . I didn't expect you to increase your Spirit Power by this much within a week . Before you went to Shrek, you were still a few tens of points short . . . " Song Weihan mused, an interested expression on his face . "The hurdle is for you to make the breakthrough and truly reach the Spirit Domain Realm . "

Nodding towards Song Weihan, Sheng Feilong one again returned to meditation . Day after day with minimal interruptions, he meditated, trying to comprehend his own spiritual Domain . One day, the old lion king asked for his attention .

Inside his spiritual consciousness, the old lion king laid in the gra.s.s, with the Purple Forest Witch sleeping on the lion's back . Sheng Feilong had conversed with the lion king regularly throughout the last few weeks, especially since reaching the Spirit Domain Realm would most likely mean awakening his third eye as well .

Yet, the lion king hadn't asked for his attention like this before . It nodded at Sheng Feilong, greeting him with a calm expression before cutting straight to the point . "In the last few weeks, I have been watching you closely . And I have seen something interesting; Whenever you try to comprehend the meaning behind the Spirit Domain, the Soul Bone of my dear sister seems to tremble . "

Without hesitation, Sheng Feilong pulled the Artificial Skull type Soul Bone over to them, inspecting it, but there was no apparent change ever since he awakened his bloodline; It looked totally normal . " . . . What do think is wrong with it, Senior? It looks perfectly fine . "

"I don't think there is anything wrong with it, rather, it seems like it is reacting to your attempts to reach the Spirit Domain Realm . " The lion king replied lazily, yet its eyes were focused on the Soul Bone with a slight tinge of sadness within them . Sheng Feilong nodded, noticing its expression; It still didn't like Artificial Soul Bones in the slightest, it seems .

" . . . Then, could that mean that I can use it to help me?" Sheng Feilong muttered a bit before looking back at the lion king . "If I utilize the Soul Bone while trying to comprehend my Domain, I might be able to get it to react . Maybe that could help me break through, or even better – Help me open the third eye directly . "

"I do no know if that can help you, but it may certainly be worth a try . My dear sister was, after all, the strongest of our tribe and the one who had opened her third eye in our generation . Maybe . . . You truly need to open the third eye in order to break through – Maybe the third eye will become your 'Domain' . " The old lion king agreed with Sheng Feilong's idea, musing about the possibilities .

"Thank you for telling me this, Senior . " Sheng Feilong nodded with a smile on his face before looking back and forth between the lion king and the Artificial Soul Bone once . "Is there any other advice you have for me, Senior?" The old lion king only shook its head lightly, to which Sheng Feilong nodded once again .

Returning to the real world, Sheng Feilong once again calmed his mind before starting to cultivate his Spirit Power . Yet, before attempting to make his breakthrough, he instead activated the Artificial Skull type Soul Bone .

A profound golden aura shot out of Sheng Feilong's body, starting from his forehead, slowly forming the phantom of a brilliant Three-Eyed Golden Lion; It's head and eyes superimposing with Sheng Feilong's . Yet, While Sheng Feilong was seated with his eyes closed, the lion lazily laid on the ground, its eyes closed as well .

The energy surrounding Sheng Feilong build up more and more, the profound golden aura radiating off of him becoming more and more dense and heavy . Soon, Song Weihan noticed the change inside Sheng Feilong's training area and came to take a look . He was surprised to see the lion laying on the ground in Sheng Feilong's stead, as he couldn't see the latter through the golden sheen . Yet, with the signature of the aura clearly being Sheng Feilong's, he didn't interfere and only observed the situation with a frown .

The spiritual power in the area built up further and further, the pressure quickly reaching the absolute peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm . However, it didn't stop building up there; Slowly, but surely, the pressure rose even further . Minutes pa.s.sed by with this going on, then half an hour, a full hour . . .

Song Weihan observed the whole matter with hawk like eyes, making sure not to miss even the slightest change . Although the breakthrough to reach the Spirit Domain Realm was different for everyone, the procedure Sheng Feilong was going through was simply too weird for him to ignore .

A few moments later, Song Weihan could feel a wave of spiritual power wash over him, past the walls and out of the room . 'He's spreading his senses out? Why? . . . Is it happening unconsciously?' Song Weihan didn't resist and let Sheng Feilong's Spirit power push into him as to not disturb him; If he repelled it now, it could harm Sheng Feilong .

Meanwhile, Sheng Feilong himself found himself in an truly empty s.p.a.ce . It was a weird feeling; There was no light, no darkness, just . . . nothing . However, moments later, this empty s.p.a.ce filled up with a familiar scenery; The training room he was sitting in . At first, he could only see himself, then the lion silhouette around himself before it spread out further, revealing the structure of the room as well as Song Weihan's figure .

Surprisingly, Sheng Feilong could even read the latter's energy flow and power . His Spirit Power spread out further, filling up the whole headquarters of Daedalus and he saw a three dimensional model of the whole headquarters' layout, as well as everyone within . A few people resisted his senses, creating weird, empty spots within the map at different points of the map, yet these empty spots were slowly filling out .

The more time pa.s.sed, the more complete Sheng Feilong's 'vision' became; After a few minutes, the empty spots were completely gone, while he could also 'see' ma.s.ses of origin energy coagulating here and there, clearly indicating where the highest concentration of origin energy were as well as where people were cultivating .

This miraculous feeling kept holding on for a long while, while everything around him became more distinct; After a long time, he could even see different shades of colour on the map – These were spots where different elements were more concentrated .

Sheng Feilong could clearly feel that this wasn't all; The scenery in this formerly empty world was filling out even more . His vision of things changed once again, this time, however, it only affected people and other living things; Thin, very subtle black lines were coursing through everyone's body, some thicker than others, some having more of these lines to begin with . However, all of them had in common, that the black lines formed a kind of net that connected every part of their body .

This clearly wasn't the same energy vision Sheng Feilong had before and he had never seen anything similar before . Still, while thinking about this, he 'saw' that Song Weihan was getting fl.u.s.tered; The latter stepped back with a shocked expression, the energy in his body in slight disarray as if he was unable to fully control it, despite his Spirit Power .
