When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 696 - 515 Cultivating Orifice Perception

Xiang Beifei couldn't fathom the abilities of the tower. He tried channeling his spiritual power into the stone tower, but it showed no response. Xiang even dripped his own blood onto it, hoping for a blood recognition ritual, but unfortunately, the tower still did not cooperate.

"Could it be that this stone tower lost two layers of flame, and that's why there's no reaction?"

Now, that was the only guess he could muster. If that was the case, he was also unclear about where to search for these twin clumps of flame to replenish it.

Xiang Beifei had been studying this stone tower for many days and realized there was still no way to unveil its secrets. He had no choice but to give up and turned his attention to the next constellation.

Chamber Constellation.

The Chamber Constellation needed nine mid-stage orifice transformation seals to be unlocked, which was not a big issue. Lady Qiu and Zhu Yiji had sent him a significant number of system items. What Xiang Beifei was currently unclear about was whether his power had reached the middle phase of orifice transformation.

His power had always been a mystery since his path differed from everyone else's, and even he was unsure of his exact realm. If his cultivation was insufficient, then attempting to unseal the constellation would be out of his control.

However, he decided to unravel it step by step, just as he did when initially unlocking Erha's seals.

Xiang Beifei first unlocked one of Chamber Constellation's seals.

As one seal was unlocked, no aura leaked out.

"Seems not too dangerous," he remarked.

Xiang Beifei then proceeded to unlock the second seal!

But the Chamber Constellation remained serene as ever.

Odd, was this seal particularly tame?

However, Xiang Beifei did not let his guard down. How could something sealed in the Spirit Gathering Book be tame at all?

He remained cautious, unlocking it layer by layer slowly.

After continuously unlocking seven seals, there was still no aura dispersing from within the Chamber Constellation, which puzzled Xiang Beifei even more.

However, after a moment of contemplation, he stopped.

"Forget it, I won't undo the last two seals."

Xiang Beifei planned to close the Spirit Gathering Book.

However, just as he was doing so, a violent fluctuation suddenly emanated from the Chamber Constellation in the Spirit Gathering Book. A surge of black aura swept up, violently charging towards Xiang Beifei!

"Good grief! I knew it!"

Xiang Beifei calmly closed the Spirit Gathering Book!

The furious aura of the Chamber Constellation vanished in an instant, and tranquility returned to the woods.

A moment later, he leisurely reopened the Spirit Gathering Book.

"You're craftier than Erha, that's for sure."

Xiang Beifei stretched lazily and glanced at Erha, who was lying in a corner, yawning.

Initially, Erha was restless and eager to break free, wearing its ferocity on its surface.

However, the entity from the Chamber Constellation was much shrewder. It feigned weakness, aiming to catch Xiang Beifei off guard and strike him with a sudden cold arrow. This fellow was obviously much more intelligent than that simpleton Erha.

Unfortunately, Xiang Beifei was highly vigilant and didn't give Chamber Constellation any chance.

Chamber Constellation fell silent for a moment before violently releasing a surge of black aura. This aura was very powerful, almost on par with Xiang Beifei's current strength. It transformed into a corrosive breath and struck at Xiang Beifei once again.

Crack!

Xiang Beifei closed the Spirit Gathering Book again.

With two more seals in place, Xiang Beifei thoroughly suppressed it.

"Really dishonest."

Xiang Beifei no longer paid attention to Chamber Constellation, and with seven seals unlocked, its aura was almost equal to his own. If he completely removed the seals, Xiang Beifei would likely be at a disadvantage.

He decided to let it stay put for a while longer.

"It seems I still need to grow stronger."

Xiang Beifei sat down in the breath soil hut and began to cultivate.

He had always kept up with his cultivation, even now, while he was in a perilously foreign wilderness, it did not affect his cultivation at all.

However, Xiang Beifei's Orifice Perception was different from ordinary people; he had no reference to follow for his cultivation, and currently, he didn't even know what realm he had reached.

Xiang Beifei closed his eyes and carefully sensed the Orifice Soul.

The Orifice Soul now appeared much more solidified, but his Orifice Perception was quite different from ordinary people. While others could open seven orifices, he bizarrely had only managed to open two, one black and one white.

For now, this situation could only be attributed to his cultivation of the Chaos Yin-Yang Formula. As for how these two black and white orifices would evolve next, Xiang Beifei was unsure; all he could do currently was to slowly sense and cultivate.

God Refining was about cultivating the spiritual soul, and orifice transforming was about opening an orifice in the spiritual soul, turning it into an Orifice Soul.

All System Awakeners needed to open seven orifices: eyes, nose, ears, mouth, heart, spirit, and body. Only by opening all seven orifices could one officially enter the orifice transforming phase.

If they were lucky, they could gain extra abilities during the process of opening their orifices. For example, their eyes might gain new abilities to see others' meridians and spiritual essence, or their ears might hear sounds from thousands of miles away...

Xiang Beifei only had two orifices, but he already possessed the strength of the orifice transforming phase. Not only that, if he encountered someone with weak mental defenses, he could even hear their thoughts.

Currently, when he calmed his mind and used his Orifice Perception, he could sense every subtle sound within a radius of fifty miles. Moreover, his Orifice Perception was very unique; if he applied it to his body, whether it was a desolate beast or a person, they could not detect his presence, even if he stood right beside them.

Xiang Beifei's Orifice Soul had only two orifices. He didn't need to open more orifices, but at the stage of orifice transforming, nurturing the Orifice Soul seemed to require more than just filling it with spiritual power crystals; he needed to comprehend it on his own.

Since no one was like him, the experiences of Elder Luo and Professor Guo were ineffective for Xiang Beifei, so he could only explore on his own.

...

Xiang Beifei extended his Orifice Perception to fifty miles away. Within that range, all he could hear was the sound of torrential rain beating on trees, but he was honing his Orifice Perception.

In the torrential rain, which severely tested his discernment as the sound of the rain almost drowned out all other sounds, he still managed to identify some subtle sounds and, using his Orifice Perception, visualized the rainy scene in his mind, vaguely perceiving the external environment.

Thirty miles away, a ten-meter-tall giant frog was munching on its prey. It had just caught a mid-God Refining phase python snake, crunching loudly. Eleven miles away from the giant frog, a terrifying flood dragon was fighting an eight-armed black ape. The flood dragon had just sprouted two horns on its head and looked extremely enraged.

Then Xiang Beifei heard two faint voices not far from where the flood dragon was battling.

"When the flood dragon and the black ape are both wounded, we'll make our move and slay the dragon," one voice said.

"This flood dragon has the bloodline of the Divine Dragon Clan. It has reached the transforming dragon phase. It's very powerful; we can't take it lightly," another added.
