Chapter 35: The Awakening of Jiang Lei

Jiang Lei's consciousness blur and he surrenders to his fate. 

He fells suffocated and his vision gets darken.

"But Big Brother Jiang, Will you come back to tell us more stories after the competition..." 

"Of course, I will. I promise.... 

"Village Leader, you don't need to worry, I'll break that barrier before I leave...." 

"You will die if you dare to take this step... 

"I Jiang Lei, will never run away because of fear of unknown,  I want to become strong, make my name in this celestial world, I will never be a coward....." 

Voices rang in Jiang Lei's mind, he left the hope but his body was still struggling to survive. 

He felt his consciousness drifted to an unknown dark surrounding, a hazy figure before him, hiding behind shadows. 

Suddenly the surrounding illuminated and the face of the figure came into his eyes. 

It opened its mouth and uttered"Wake up Jiang Lei." 

"Huff."Jiang Lei suddenly got up, his chest was moving up and down to grasp the air in his surrounding. 

Jiang Lei's eyes showed uncertainty and he looked around his unfamiliar surrounding. 

"Where is t..this?Jiang Lei mused but suddenly froze, a wave of information poured in his mind. 

His initial unfamiliar gaze turned to disbelief and anger. 

[ Congratulations to the master for successfuly breaking the Mirage and gaining 20000 system points.] 

System's voice came into his ears but he didn't pay any attention to it. 

His gaze was fixed on Wu Xiu who was still waiting for Jiang Lei's death. 

She was caught off guard when Jiang Lei suddenly got up and looked at her with those terrifying eyes, his eyes were so dangerous that he felt like she has fallen into a hell. 

At the same time, a voice that sent chill done her spine rang in her ears,"If you still want to live, then free me from this barrier now. 

Jiang Lei's voice was very hoarse as if he didn't speak for too long. 

"Hahahaha, Li Wei, do you think, that you can scare me like this, you are caged in this pearl, let alone you, even your soul won't left this place."Wu Xiu was laughing and mocking Jiang Lei but it felt like she was comforting herself.

Jiang Lei slowly got up to his feet, he felt very weak, the pain that was tormenting his body was still there. 

He felt that the mist in his surrounding is slowly sucking the energy in his body. 

He knows that he doesn't have much time, he quickly yelled,"System, teach me the second stage of Divine Pheonix Code." 

[System: Congratulations to the master for successfuly consuming 5000 system points and successfully learning second stage of Eternal Flame Intiation.] 

Jiang Lei felt that a large amount of unfamiliar memories came into his mind.

Closing his eyes, Jiang Lei focused on the memories and knowledge he had gained from the second stage -- Aura Cleansing. 

It can help him purify the aura in his body and his surrounding. 

With a deep breath, he began to channel his spiritual energy, allowing it to flow through his body. 

As he concentrated, he visualized the impurities within his body, his spiritual energy, and even his soul. 

It was as if he could see the dark, murky clouds of negativity and impurity being washed away by the cleansing energy. 

Jiang Lei could feel the poison from the serpent's bite, which had lingered within him, being gradually neutralized and expelled. The pain in his body lessened with each passing moment. 

Slowly, the impurities within him diminished. 

With a final surge of effort, Jiang Lei visualized a radiant aura enveloping him. He opened his eyes, feeling a new person. 

He had successfully mastered the second stage of Eternal Flame Initiation,  the Aura Cleansing technique. His body and soul were now in a state of pristine purity. 

Jiang Lei sat down on his place and started absorbing the mist in his surrounding. 

The mist that was once sucking his energy and flesh, is now being absorbed by him, and turn into his strength.

With every breath he took, the mist swirled around him, becoming a part of him. Jiang Lei felt a surge of vitality and strength coursing through his veins. 

His cultivation, which had been at the Eleventh level of the mortal realm, began to grow rapidly. He could feel the energy within him expanding and surging, breaking through barriers he had never thought possible. 

"Twelfth level of the mortal realm!"Jiang Lei amazed, he wasn't expecting the mist around him to be so magical, it just take him such a short period of time to breakthrough. 

But the ascent didn't stop there. His body, his spirit, and his energy were all in perfect harmony as he advanced to the first level of Qi Condensation. 

"T....This."Jiang Lei was so shocked that he couldn't understand that what to say now, "Is this still humane, not even a single minute has passed and I brokethrough to the Qi Condensation Realm. 

You must know that Qi Condensation is a transformative stage in the journey of cultivation, a realm that stood far above the mortal realm in terms of power and potential. It was the moment when a cultivator learned to harness the very essence of their being, channeling it into their meridians, and forming the foundational building blocks of spiritual energy. 

Compared to the mortal realm, where cultivators focused on strengthening their physical bodies and honing their skills. 

It is a stage where cultivators could tap into the boundless reserves of spiritual energy in the world around them, allowing them to perform feats that seemed nothing short of miraculous. 

So, In order to breakthrough to the Qi Condensation, a cultivatior needs a large amount of energy, so he uses many of his precious resources like expensive pills so that he can breakthrough to the Qi Condensation without any fear of Energy Depletion. 

Energy Depletion is a state where cultivatior gets short of Energy during his breakthrough to a major realm and faces backlash. 

In light condition, it can be defect of the part of the body where the energy was circulating or getting mad, and in severe situation, it will immediately explode the body of the Cultivatior. 

So, Cultivators always make preparations before their breakthrough and some even don't breakthrough in their entire life out of fear. 

But now, he has brokethrough to the Qi Condensation in one go, he feels like his world view is about to collapse. 

"What the hell is this mist in this world."Jiang Lei said in desbelief. 

He said so but he didn't stop absorbing the mist, and in just next minute. 

"BOOOM!" 

Second layer of Qi Condensation 

"BOOOM!" 

Jiang Lei's cultivation reached its peak at the third level of Qi Condensation. 

When he was about to absorb more energy, he suddenly felt a repelling force from the pearl. 

"BOOOM" 

Jiang Lei was thrown out of pearl. 

"I.. Impossible, h..how is this possible, You are just a mere cultivatior at Mortal realm, how could you absorb the mist that even I scare."

"Y..You can't be Li Wei, You are his ghost, yes, you are ghost."Wu Xiu was muttering like she has lost her soul. 

"Yes, you are true, I am not Li Wei, I am Jiang Lei."Jiang Lei's tone was very cold, he summoned his sword. 

"Uf, this damm trial, it took my precious sword."Jiang Lei remembered that his precious sword broke while fighting with the Inferno Lion. 

"I will see you, just wait for me."He gritted his teeth, whenever he thought about how that monster almost killed him, and that damm voice who did all this to him, he can't control his anger. 

His icy gaze fell on Wu Xiu who was frightened to death from his mere appearance, "You are lucky that I don't have sword today, and you survived the date of being cut bit by bit, but yout death will be still very pitiful." 

"NOOO, you can't kill me."Wu Xiu said, her voice trembling,, She fled away from there and flew in the sky. 

"I can and I will, run wherever you can, I'll pay back your pain to you hundredfold, you inflicted on me." 

A cruel smile appeared in his face and slowly a fiery Giant Sword appeared in his hand. 

The massive Giant Sword burned with fiery intensity, its blade stretching 8 feet long. Its aura was a blazing, Jiang Lei made this sword by fusion of his high level fire and power talent, exuding an overwhelming, commanding presence. 

Jiang Lei has reached the Qi Condensation Realm and he can make spritual objects from his Qi. 

"Wu Xiu, I am coming to send you to hell."Jiang Lei yelled and a pair of fiery red wings came from his shoulder, he also flew in the sky to chase her.
