I Cultivate Passively

After this incident, Zhou Feng and Li Rong could be considered strangers.

The two of them were not on the same level, so the best outcome would naturally be to go their separate ways.

That was why Zhou Feng took out the Spiritual Crystal Warm Jade and returned it to Li Rong.

This item had indeed been helpful to him, but its effect on him had become negligible after obtaining the AI.

Since that was the case, it was better to return it to Li Rong.

When Li Rong saw the Crystal Warm Jade in Zhou Feng's hand, she remained silent for a while.

She did not say anything and just took it silently.

It was evident that Li Rong had already made up her mind.

Zhou Feng had broken through to the Divine Ability realm in such a short time, and his battle prowess was exaggerated to the point of being abnormal.

From the corpses around him, one could tell how fast Zhou Feng's cultivation had increased.

They were already not on the same level, so it was better to take this opportunity to separate.

In fact, this was also the main reason many of the cultivators who had been childhood sweethearts separated.

In the later stages of cultivation, the difference of one realm was akin to the difference between people from two different worlds.

Once one of them could not keep up, they would be abandoned. This was an extremely realistic situation.

This was also the reason prodigies would only associate themselves with other prodigies.

"Take care!"

Zhou Feng did not have the intention of sending Li Rong out.

Since he wanted to break it off, he might as well be straightforward and not overanalyze.

He had killed so many people from the three great holy lands that they would definitely investigate what was going on.

There was also the Yin Qi that was constantly dispersing in the surroundings. This proved that the Cold Wind mountain range was not safe either.

Therefore, Zhou Feng had to take this opportunity to increase his strength quickly.

There was also Shi Li, who had forcefully become his slave. He also wanted to study the slave seal carefully.

Finally, he took a look at the skill panel and found that the progress bar was full.

This meant that he could draw new passive skills.

All these things were waiting for him to deal with one by one.

Without any hesitation, he directly chose to return to the cave abode.

Not only was the cave protected by the formation, but it was also located in the depths of the mountain range.

It shouldn't be a problem to hide from the three holy lands for the time being.

Another thing was that the incomplete cultivation techniques were no longer of any use to him.

Once he gathered his strength and comprehended the second divine ability, he could go to the Chaotian Temple's ruins to try his luck.

Zhou Feng hadn't wanted to explore the Chaotian Temple's ruins in the past because it was too dangerous. Although the connate numinous treasure was tempting, it wasn't worth it compared to his passive skills.

But now, Zhou Feng felt that if he had a connate numinous treasure to protect him, his chances of reaching the Dragon Transformation realm would increase.

The power that Jiang Yi had stimulated by burning his bloodline should be close to the power of the Dragon Transformation realm!

But even so, he had still been able to finish off Jiang Yi.

This had boosted his confidence greatly.

Therefore, he was eager to return to the cave abode.

Of course, it was necessary to loot the corpses as usual before this!

Therefore, Li Rong watched Zhou Feng quickly plunder all the storage bags and rings.

Then, he turned into a ray of starlight and disappeared into the Cold Wind mountain range.

'I can't catch up to him anymore?'

Li Rong held the Crystal Warm Jade in her hand, and her heart was surprisingly calm at this moment.

After experiencing the destruction of her clan, her state of mind seemed to have undergone a transformation, and all the distracting thoughts in the past had now completely disappeared.

There was only one thought left in her heart—that was cultivation! All the way to the end of cultivation!

There was also a competition between Zhou Feng to see who could walk ahead on the path of cultivation.

Even if she surpassed Zhou Feng one day, Li Rong still wanted to question him face to face.

Although Li Rong had had the opportunity to question him, the current Li Rong did not have the courage.

That's right! Facing the Divine Ability Zhou Feng, Li Rong did not dare to question him.

Even if anger was brewing in her heart, she could only silently curse in her heart.

She was far less at ease than when she faced Zhou Feng in the past.

At that time, Li Rong had still been the Li Clan's favored daughter, while Zhou Feng was just an ordinary vagabond cultivator.

…

Zhou Feng had already returned to the cave abode and was checking if the formation had undergone any changes.

"Very good! Now, let's see the new passive skill!"

He locked himself in the isolation room as usual, hoping that the passive skill this time would be more effective. He needed more powerful passive skills to deal with the current situation.

"Draw!"

Zhou Feng gave the order.

"Drawing..."

"Drawing successful!"

Body of Thorns: Your opponent will receive 15% of the damage they inflicted on you.

(Note: The other passive buffs can augment this passive skill.)

"Good stuff!"

Zhou Feng was delighted because this passive skill was very compatible with his current situation.

Originally, because he cultivated the Emperor Coiling Scripture and had all sorts of passive skills, his physical body was already very strong.

He even often used the battle method of exchanging injuries for injuries.

Now that he had this passive Body of Thorns, it was simply like adding wings to a tiger.

The best part was that this passive skill seemed to be able to help him fight beyond his level.

Zhou Feng had a certain understanding of the Dragon Transformation realm.

The Dragon Transformation cultivators' bodies were transformed with the help of soul power.

Their physical bodies were akin to a carp transforming into a dragon, freeing them from the shackles of the mortal body.

Dragon Transformation cultivators had very strong recovery abilities, somewhat similar to the passive Tenacious Heart.

Injuring a Level 9 Dragon Transformation expert was absurdly difficult.

A Level 9 Dragon Transformation expert could already achieve the level of limb regeneration.

Blood regeneration was not a very difficult thing for some monsters.

It could be said that from the beginning of the Dragon Transformation realm, the survival ability of a cultivator increased rapidly. It was far from being as easy to kill as it was in the previous realm.

Therefore, when facing a Dragon Transformationexpert, one would need incomparable destructive power if they wanted to fight against someone of a higher realm.

Given Zhou Feng's current situation, there was a high probability that he could injure a Dragon Transformation realm expert. Still, it would be impossible to kill or seriously injure said expert.

Unexpectedly, it was now possible to seriously injure a Dragon Transformation expert with the passive Body of Thorns' reflect effect.

Moreover, this passive skill had another very important point.

That was that the passive Body of Thorns could receive the buffs from other passive skills.

This was listed separately.

For example, the passive Fighting Spirit normally only buffed Zhou Feng's physical body.

Now, it could be buff passive Body of Thorns, making the counterattack even more severe.

"In this way, won't I become a hedgehog?"

Zhou Feng suppressed his excitement.

This new passive skill was another huge improvement for him.

It was time to deal with Shi Li now.

From the start, Shi Li had attached himself to his arm. He only needed a thought to crush Shi Li's soul.

In fact, he was also very curious as to why Shi Li had done this.

He did not look like a madman!
