On the top of the snow-covered mountain, a group of people were sitting cross-legged and meditating, each practicing some secret technique.
In front of them, there were balls of dancing light.
At this time, among the crowd, Han Feng sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
He exuded a scorching aura, and a crimson flame in front of him was burning and leaping.
With every jump of the flame, the volume of the flame will shrink by one circle, and the temperature will become hotter.
As time passed, a flame that was originally as big as a baby's body grew.
In the end, it shrank to the size of a dove egg, exuding a scorching breath and a strangely bright flame.
Just as this flame continued to shrink.
"boom……!"
With a roar, a heat wave exploded, and the flames collapsed directly.
Immediately, Han Feng opened his eyes, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
This is already the eighth day that Han Feng and others have entered this space.
After eight days of exploration and research, Han Feng had a relatively in-depth understanding of the secret technique in his mind.
Speaking of which, this secret technique is not very powerful. Its only effect is to refine and compress the energy of heaven and earth.
The more profound you practice, the purer you can purify the energy of heaven and earth.
Although this was the first time Han Feng had seen this secret technique, he didn't understand its significance.
After all, even if all the heaven and earth energy in one's body is "refined and purified", the heaven and earth energy absorbed again after consumption is still ordinary heaven and earth energy.
Not only is this approach time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it also won't increase the power too much, it's purely thankless.
But in order to meet the opponent's inspection requirements, Han Feng still practiced hard.
However, Han Feng found that this secret technique was not too difficult for him.
Because Han Feng can completely transfer his heaven and earth energy into the demon refining pot, refine all the impurities, and then use the secret technique to compress it, the difficulty will be reduced by half.
And with the amazing perception given by the power of spiritual thoughts and the power of cave, Han Feng can boldly compress these energies, maintain their balance, and compress them to an astonishing degree.
Just now, he compressed a ball of flame condensed with the power of fire energy to only the size of a bunch of flames.
This level has surpassed most of the people present, and this is only less than 50% of Han Feng's level. He did this because he didn't want to be too conspicuous.
Realizing that this secret technique was not difficult for him, Han Feng turned his attention to others.
He discovered that the secret techniques obtained by everyone present were divided into five types.
They are five methods of purifying and compressing the energy of heaven and earth. This seems to be a secret technique that corresponds to the energy of heaven and earth they sensed when they were passing through the stone monument.
Han Feng couldn't help but be curious about this, and vaguely felt that there must be a special connection between these five similar secret arts.
Even if others come up with such speculation, there is no way to verify it.
But Han Feng is different. He is probably the only person in Lingwu Continent who has comprehended the five kinds of heaven and earth energy at the same time.
Han Feng could practice all five secret techniques and see if any special phenomena would occur.
However, Han Feng did not have the secret skills of the other four attributes, and he did not dare to ask others for them easily to avoid being found suspicious by the people on Star Demon Island, so he could only slowly look for opportunities.
It was not until the ninth day that the Great Protector finally appeared.
The other party once said that he would come in every three days, but now Han Feng and others have been here for nine days.
This proves that the time ratio between this world and the outside world is "three to one".
After the Great Protector appeared, he ordered everyone to demonstrate the secret techniques they practiced in person.
Han Feng still only demonstrated at a 50% level, but he was already one of the best performers at the scene, so he passed the test easily.
After checking everyone's results, the Great Protector finally cast his cold gaze on a square-faced man who had understood the power of earth element.
This person made a big mistake during the demonstration just now. The earth element power in front of him exploded before it could be compressed by more than half.
Feeling the Great Protector's gaze, the big man shivered in fear and quickly said: "Master Protector, I... I just made a mistake. Please give me another chance."
However, the Great Protector just narrowed his eyes, and a ray of divine light burst out from his eyes, directly piercing the man's eyebrows, and his life was instantly cut off.
This scene made everyone present feel chills in their hearts.
But the Great Protector glanced at the crowd indifferently and said: "Two people will come, carry him out, throw him into the sea and feed him to the Netherworld Dragon Python."
This is obviously an act of "killing the chicken to scare the monkey".
Everyone looked at the corpse on the ground with its eyes still open and still warm. Many people were so frightened that they were so stiff that they didn't dare to move.
But there were exceptions. For example, a man with a rough appearance and slightly dark complexion took the initiative to come forward and smiled.
"Hey... Lord Protector, let me deal with this body."
Seeing that there was no second person to help, the man simply picked up the body, bowed his head, and followed the passage opened by the Great Protector.
Seeing the man's flattering and attentive expression, many people in the crowd looked at him with disdain, thinking that the man was actively trying to please him.
However, no one knew that while the man was carrying the corpse, a golden light flashed in the altar.
A vague attraction followed the palm he placed on the man's heavenly spirit, and as soon as the man collapsed, a large number of mental power fragments in the altar were quietly sucked into the body.
This man was of course none other than Han Feng, whose appearance and aura had been changed with Jade Mystic Beauty Pill.
After quietly refining these mental power fragments through the Eye of Dongxu, he fed back the memory information and rummaged through it.
Finally, Han Feng got his wish and found the secret technique of refining the power of earth element in this person's memory.
It is a pity that some fragments of mental power were lost after all and were not complete enough. A small part of this secret technique was also lost.
Han Feng secretly shook his head and said to himself, it seems that a few more people have to die.
…
After a while, Han Feng and others were practicing the five secret techniques on the top of the mountain.
The Great Protector still appears every nine days to test everyone's cultivation results.
Without exception, the person with the worst performance will be immediately killed by the Great Protector.
And without exception, every time the person who carried the corpse to feed the Netherworld Dragon Python was Han Feng who volunteered.
I have spent more than two months in this space, and the outside world has spent more than half a month.
The thirty-odd people on the top of the mountain turned into twenty-odd people.
In order to survive and not become the worst performer, everyone worked hard to practice the secret skills day and night, and now they are all very familiar with it.
As for Han Feng, relying on his "work" as a corpse-carrier during this period, he has successfully gathered the secret techniques of the two attributes of "wood and earth", plus the fire attribute secret technique he practiced, and mastered the three attributes. Secret technique of attributes.
As for the secret skills of the two attributes of "gold and water", they are still incomplete for the time being.
Han Feng also tried to practice the secret techniques of wood and earth attributes, but after practicing, Han Feng did not find anything special.
Just when Han Feng was doubtful, his unexpected attempt produced unexpected results.
Once, Han Feng tried to use three secret techniques in his body at the same time to refine and compress the three attributes of heaven and earth energy of "wood, fire, and earth".
Han Feng was surprised to find that the three forces of heaven and earth had an attraction to each other, and there was a faint tendency to merge with each other.
Although it was only a very weak trend, it was clearly captured by Han Feng, which surprised him.
"Could it be that these five secret techniques can fuse the five kinds of heaven and earth energy?"
Before this, Han Feng had tried to fuse two different elements of heaven and earth, but both ended in failure.
There is a natural repulsion between two different forces of heaven and earth.
But now these three kinds of heaven and earth energy are able to attract each other, which really surprises Han Feng.
He really wanted to try it now to fuse the three kinds of heaven and earth energy, but in the space opened by the island owner, Han Feng did not dare to try rashly.
After thinking again and again, he had no choice but to hold back his mood and planned to collect the five secret techniques first.
At the same time, Han Feng had a hunch that the gathering of these five secret techniques would be of profound help to him.
