At the time when the people of the Mount Heng School were flying, they flew over 500 kilometers away from Mount Heng before stopping.

Afterwards Sikong Nan also brought along Wang Lin and flew for a long distance. After discerning the direction, Lin Feng controlled the Black Cloud Flag and returned back in the direction of Mount Heng with Wang Lin and the Netherworld Bead.

Lin Feng's three disciples were still waiting for him in the small town at the foot of Mount Heng.

But before meeting up with his disciples, Lin Feng has to first find a quiet place and deal with Wang Lin and Sikong Nan.

He found a quiet valley less than 50 kilometers east of Mount Heng, opening up the Black Cloud Flag and sealing the entire space of the valley. He then crushed a voice-transmitting crystal.

A faint white light rose up from the crystal fragments, Xiao Yan's voice travelled out from the white light: "Master, what's the matter?"

Lin Feng said: "Lately master has been meditating on the way of the universe and my dao technique level has improved again, but I need to enter closed-door training for a period of time. I can't say exactly how long. During this period of time you guys take care of yourselves, stay in the town and wait patiently for master to return."

Pausing for a moment, Lin Feng still continued to say: "My location of closed-door training is a small valley 50 kilometers east of Mount Heng. If you guys truly encounter a problem that you guys cannot solve then you guys can come here to find master."

Xiao Yan smiled saying: "Don't worry Master, we will wait patiently for you to come back."

Lin Feng said "Ok", the white light on the crystal dissipated and the communication ended there.

Properly setting down Wang Lin's body, Lin Feng sat cross-legged, the Netherworld Bead lay flat in his palm. He ultimately only has a qi disciple stage cultivation level, the Heaven Cage Sigil that he laid before was already about to be destroyed by Sikong Nan.

Lin Feng connected his spirit with the Netherworld Bead, his mind seemed to enter a dim, yellow space.

In the space, visible ripples constantly flowed, as if he was beneath water. Looking around was a stretch of pale yellow.

In the depths of the space, Sikong Nan was imprisoned in a cage formed by rays of light. Black mist coiled around his body, constantly ramming the bars of the light cage. The light cage set up by the Heaven Cage Sigil was already crumbling, the old geezer could break out at any moment.

Seeing Lin Feng, Sikong Nan cackled: "You think that it's all good if you use the Heaven Cage Sigil to trap me? It's the exact opposite, this Heaven Cage Sigil has instead let me see through the depths of your cultivation level. You're just a little qi disciple stage brat. When I destroy this sigil, your soul will go well with my drink!"

Lin Feng laughed without care: "Before that I'll chop you into a salad first."

Golden buddhist light instantly illuminated the dim space. Looking at the massive human figures in the buddhist light, Sikong Nan's face was pale: "What is this magic item of yours, its mana can actually seep into the Netherworld Bead? These… These are sariras, you refined buddhist sariras into magic items?"

In the boundless buddhist light, Lin Feng sat quietly cross-legged. His two hands formed a buddhist hand sign and he smiled saying: "Old bastard, today I will use this buddhist light formation to send you back into the cycle of reincarnation."

Xiao Budian stared eagerly at Xiao Yan: "Eldest Apprentice-Brother, is Master not coming back?"

Xiao Yan nodded his head: "Master has to breakthrough his boundary and advance his cultivation prowess, so he decided at the last minute to enter closed-door training for a period of time. The length of time of the closed-door training is uncertain, his position is a small valley 50 kilometers east of here."

"Closed-door training this kind of thing stresses being undisturbed, so my opinion is that we just stay here and wait for Master."

Xiao Budian lowered his head.

Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi exchanged gazes. Zhu Yi said: "Youngest Apprentice-Brother, if you really do miss Master then we'll head over to the valley right now. We won't disturb him, we'll just guard around the valley…"

Not even finishing his sentence, he saw Xiao Budian lift up his head in surprise: "I didn't say I want to go find Master."

Zhu Yi said puzzled: "But your head was lowered and you looked to be in low spirits."

Xiao Budian smirked: "I was thinking of where to go play later. Master is finally not around, even if I cause a bit of trouble there won't be anybody to nag at me anymore."

Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi these two apprentice-brothers were both simultaneously speechless. They looked at each other and both shook their heads laughing helplessly. They were defeated by this little imp.

Xiao Budian smiled saying: "Apprentice-brothers, let's go out for a walk. Sitting here and aimlessly waiting is honestly too boring."

Zhu Yi slightly knit his brows while Xiao Yan was quite moved. He himself also possesses an unrestrained personality, he's never been a scrupulous and well-behaved person.

Seeing Zhu Yi appear to slightly disapprove, Xiao Yan smiled saying: "Junior Apprentice-Brother, let's go together. Don't you also regularly say that it's better to walk ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books?"

"What is walking ten thousand miles? It is experiencing more things, witnessing a myriad of people and situations, it's not just busily travelling."

Zhu Yi thought: "The ancient scholars all travelled across the states, spreading knowledge and educating the people while also increasing their knowledge and honing their knowledge and reason. Sitting quietly and reading is self-cultivation, observing the many states of the world is also self-cultivation. There are principles within the Heaven and Earth and also principles within commoners. They are all principles, I should have an understanding of them all."

He has long read poetry and literature and his personality is also rational and calm. Compared to people of the same age he can bear the loneliness more, but he is afterall a teenager. He also has a side of curiousity and livelihood.

The three youngsters left without delay, leaving the town together and walking towards Chuzhou City that was 50 kilometers away.

Chuzhou City is an important city at the southern border of the Great Qin Dynasty. It is densely populated and commercially developed. Inside of the city it is very lively.

After wandering around for a bit Xiao Yan and co. arrived at the city square in the city.

The outer ring of the city square is all regular stuff like food and clothing for normal humans, but walking into the central area of the city square, it is the world of all sorts of cultivation materials.

The Qin Dynasty's southern border is next to demon territory. At the same time as being chaotic and dangerous, there are also all kinds of precious treasures. Chuzhou is the biggest trading center of the southern border of the Qin Dynasty for all sorts of precious treasures.

Walking in the city square, the three people looked around left and right. For the most part they were just strolling around, they can't afford to buy what catches their eye and they don't care for anything too cheap.

"Hm? This thing…" Xiao Yan suddenly stopped his steps, staring at an item placed in a shop. It is massive in size and is pitch-black, its length is virtually the same as his height.

Zhu Yi and Xiao Budian noticed his peculiarity and also stopped their footsteps. Xiao Budian smiled saying: "What do you have your eyes on Eldest Apprentice-Brother? You're so preoccupied, let me see too." With one look he couldn't help but be speechless.

Zhu Yi's curiosity was also peaked by their reactions and he also walked over. After seeing the item he was the same as Xiao Budian, he was also a bit speechless.

The item that attracted Xiao Yan's attention is an incredibly big black greatsword. Um, instead of saying it is a greatsword, it would be better to say that is a giant, thick metal ruler with no blade. The black greatsword also didn't have a tip, at the end of the sword it was as if it had been cut off at the middle by something, revealing a cross-section as smooth as a mirror.

Lines of slightly faint, strange markings were drawn on the surface of the pitch-black greatsword. The markings reached the sword hilt and virtually covered every part of the blade. Matched with the archaic pitch-black colour, it looked relatively mysterious.

Zhu Yi said with a stutter: "Eldest Apprentice-Brother, you, you have your eyes on this thing?"

Xiao Yan had a puzzled expression: "I get this feeling that this item seems to have some sort of connection with me… Borrowing a line that Master regularly says, could this item and me be fated?"

Xiao Budian's expression was strange. He held it in for a while but was unable to hold back, bursting out with laughter.

Zhu Yi also flashed a smile. Xiao Yan was a bit embarrassed: "Two little pricks, what are you laughing at."

"I won't laugh, I won't laugh." Xiao Budian hurriedly shook his hand, but the smile on his face just couldn't stop.

Xiao Yan slapped his little head a bit vexed, Xiao Budian hurriedly covered his head: "Don't slap me, I'm alway getting slapped by Master, I'm already about to go dumb. Eldest Apprentice-Brother, if you keep slapping me then I'll really become dumb."

Xiao Yan scolded jokingly: "Just die from dumbness."

Zhu Yi smiled at the side saying: "Since Eldest Apprentice-Brother likes it then just buy it."

Xiao Yan thought about it for a moment and then slowly nodded his head.

The three people all didn't notice that on the street outside of the store, a grey-clothed person wearing a large straw hat on his head suddenly opened his drooping eyelids. A strong light surged in his eyes and he twisted his head staring at the shop that Xiao Yan and co. are in.

"This mana fluctuation, it's the mana fluctuation of the Buddhist Thunder Staff! Buddha have mercy, I've finally found a clue!"

Report chapter

On the wide dirt road, a black-clothed youth was difficulty walking while covered in sweat. The youth's every step was like a heavy object falling on the ground, heavily smashing the ground and kicking up a wave of dust.

Looking close-up, one can see that on the back of the black-clothed youth he is actually carrying an incredibly massive black greatsword. The greatsword doesn't have a blade nor a tip and its length has virtually surpassed the youth's height.

This strange combination made the many passerbyers in the city square all unable to help but cast gazes of curiosity at him.

Beside the black-clothed youth, a green-robed youthful scholar walked side-by-side with him. A child only four or five years old walked energetically in front, occasionally turning his head and looking at the black-clothed youth.

The expression on the faces of the green-robed scholar and the child were both strange, wanting to smile but not daring to do so.

The black-clothed youth glared at them grumpily, dragging his leaden feet and walking under a tree beside the road.

Walking to under the tree, the black-clothed youth directly fell to his back and lay on the cooling grass, letting the sweat on his forehead flow down like a small stream.

His two companions stood beside him, lowering their heads and looking at him. The smile on their faces was nearly about to burst.

The black-clothed youth is naturally Xiao Yan. Looking at that smiling appearance of theirs, he let out a snort: "If you want to laugh then laugh, careful that you suffocate to death!"

Xiao Budian exploded with a crisp laughter, Zhu Yi's face also revealed a grin: "Eldest Apprentice-Brother, of all the things you could have been fated with you just had to be fated with such a bulky thing, now you're suffering big, huh?"

Xiao Yan scratched his head in distress: "I didn't think before either that not mentioning that this thing itself is crazy heavy, it can also suppress the circulation of my mana. This thing really wants to tire me to death. Just thinking about carrying this thing back to Mount Heng is terrifying."

Xiao Budian took pleasure in his misfortune: "Eldest Apprentice-Brother, exactly what sins did you commit last life?"

Xiao Yan glared at him: "On the road back to Mount Heng, you and me take turns carrying it. Your cultivation pills were also used in buying this thing. If you don't carry it and we can't bring this thing back then I won't give back the pills that I owe you."

Xiao Budian was instantly heated: "You're shameless Apprentice-Brother! Xiao Yan smiled saying: "I'm sticking to you, what can you do?"

"You…" Xiao Budian just wanted to speak when his expression slightly changed and he twisted his head looking behind him.

Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi were also alarmed, raising their eyes and looking behind Xiao Budian. They saw a grey-clothed person wearing a big straw hat on his head, silently standing not far away from them.

The grey-clothed person took off the straw hat, revealing a shiny bald head. Six precept scars were neatly aligned on his head.

"Why is Hui Ku's Buddhist Thunder Staff with you guys? Where is Hui Ku and where are the sariras?" The grey-clothed person slowly asked. His voice was not loud but it was as if it sounded from the depths of their hearts.

The expressions of Xiao Yan and his apprentice-brothers all slightly changed. The grey-clothed person only calmly stood there and he already gave them a lot of pressure. They didn't even dare to recklessly move a pinky finger.

The three people all exchanged gazes, thoughts rapidly turning in their minds.

"This monk's cultivation level is unfathomable. Master is not with us, if we fight recklessly it's easy for us to be in an unfavorable situation." Xiao Budian's big black eyes turned and he opened his mouth first saying: "It was a monk who gave it to our master and then master passed it on to us."

The grey-clothed monk glanced at Xiao Budian, a hint of amazement revealed in his eyes. Clearly he's perceived that Xiao Budian is not even five years old yet and already has a cultivation level of qi disciple level 10.

"Which expert is your master?" Subconsciously, the grey-clothed monk's tone of voice became a bit more courteous. Being able to train such an outrageous disciple like Xiao Budian, his master is definitely not a regular person.

Xiao Budian shook his head: "Master doesn't let us say."

Xiao Yan looked at the grey-clothed monk and asked modestly: "How may we help you?"

The grey-clothed monk looked at him: "The Buddhist Thunder Staff is on your body, right? That is the magic item of our Buddhist sect."

After being silent for a moment, Xiao Yan said: "The magic item was bestowed by my master. Without my master's approval I do not dare to easily gift it to another."

The grey-clothed monk's drooping eyelids instantly opened, a strong light surged and he stared straight at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's mind was shaken and he nearly fainted over. Under the gaze of the grey-clothed monk's eyes, Xiao Yan even had a feeling of guilt as if he'd committed great evil.

But his will is incredibly strong and he managed to stabilize his mind, staring back at the grey-clothed monk unyielding.

Zhu Yi was silent the whole time. At this moment he quietly took a step forward, standing side-by-side with Xiao Yan and facing the pressure brought by the grey-clothed monk.

Xiao Budian's little face also scowled. He stood together with his two apprentice-brothers and the three apprentice-brothers all faced the powerful enemy together, side-by-side.

The grey-clothed monk's eyes flashed and his eyelids drooped back down. The pressure instantly vanished and Xiao Yan and co. unanimously exhaled a sigh of relief. Only at this time did they discover that their backs were already covered in sweat.

"The monk who gave the Buddhist Thunder Staff to you guys, do you guys know where he is right now?" The grey-clothed thought for a moment and then opened his mouth asking.

Xiao Budian said first: "We don't know, it's already been almost half-a-year since we saw him."

"Half-a-year ago?" The grey-clothed monk pressed on: "Where did you guys meet him?"

Xiao Budian answered without hesitation: "Near the Great Zhou Dynasty's capital city, Tianjing. If you want to find him, there's no harm in taking a trip to Tianjing."

The grey-clothed monk stared at the three people for a long while and then nodded his head, putting his palms together and saying: "Namo Amitabha, thank you children." Before his voice had died away, he had already vanished on the spot.

Xiao Yan was slightly dazed: "This monk is more bark than bite, he just left like that?"

Xiao Budian said snappily: "What, do you really want him to attack and cook us all in one pot?"

Zhu Yi pondered and said: "This monk could very likely come back, let's go back and meet with Master as soon as possible."

Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian nodded their heads together and the three apprentice-brothers hurriedly walked towards outside of the city.

The air slightly fluctuated and the grey-clothed monk revealed himself, staring at their distancing figures.

"I've let out the line, hopefully I can catch a big fish." The grey-clothed monk let out a low sigh and followed behind the three people.

When Xiao Yan and co. were passing through the city gate, they coincided with a group of people entering the city who brushed past the three people.

An old man amongst the group sudden wrinkled his forehead and drew near to the leading youth: "Young Master Tian, this old servant just saw a small child…"

Young Master Tian asked: "What about the small child?"

The old man responded saying: "In the past this old servant once met that Shi Ziling, the child just now looks very much like Shi Ziling."

Yu Tian's eyes flashed: "Did you see wrong?"

Shi Ziling is precisely Shi Tian Hao, aka Xiao Budian's father.

The old man nodded his head: "Young Master Tian, you know that this old servant's pair of eyes is the most accurate in remembering people. That child looks at least 70% like Shi Ziling, if that child was still alive he should also be around this big."

Yu Tian lowered his head and thought for a moment. He gave the order saying: "Go, find two people to follow and observe them. Report back after they find where they're staying."

In a small valley 50 kilometers east of Mount Heng.

In the Netherworld Bead, Lin Feng was controlling the 24 Heaven Arhat Formation and using immeasurable buddhist light to forcefully refine Sikong Nan.

The old geezer roared again and again, constantly resisting. He may not have been able to take control of the Netherworld Bead, but after staying within it for a long period of time, he can also borrow a bit of the Netherworld Bead's power. For the moment, Lin Feng really can't do much with him.

While controlling the 24 Heaven Arhat Formation, Lin Feng was also searching through the system.

"Ghost King Cannon… Hundred Demon Night Parade technique… Found it, it's here!"

Report chapter

"Ghost King Cannon… Hundred Demon Night Parade technique… Got it, I found it, it's here." Lin Feng felt rejuvenated and carefully read the descriptions.

Ghost King Cannon, a secret spell of the Thousand Ghost Sect of the past, siphoning the spirits of countless wraiths and releasing them after compressing them using an arcane technique. Its attack power is very powerful and it was one of the killing moves of the Thousand Ghost Sect.

Hundred Ghost Night Parade, a secret spell of the Thousand Ghost Sect of the past. After killing the target the user can imprison the soul and use an arcane technique to refine it into a wraith, hiding within the user's mana. When needed it can be released to attack enemies. The wraith completely maintains its cultivation level during life and the number of wraiths that can be controlled is closely related to the user's cultivation level.

Lin Feng's eyes turned: "Thousand Ghost Sect? I think it was a dark sect that was once very prosperous, afterwards it was wiped out by the Mt. Shu Sword Sect.

The Heaven Primal world's power structure is relatively stable. Besides 30 years ago where the Great Zhou Dynasty teamed up together with many forces and destroyed the Buddhist sect, there is basically little change.

Before the elimination of Buddhism, the three great holy lands basically represented the strongest power in this world. Even with the matter of the elimination of Buddhism, the shadows of the Void Temple and the Mt. Shu Sword Sect could be seen, or else the Great Thunder Monastery couldn't have fallen.

Ever since the three great holy lands were in power, in the thousands of years of time, the days of the dark sects have not been well. They're basically rats that everyone hates. Even if a couple of big shots have appeared before, they were prominent for a time but they ultimately couldn't avoid the end of being suppressed and exterminated.

The Thousand Ghost Sect is a classical example. In its heyday its name far surpassed regular sects, almost nearing the three great holy lands. It was the holy land of the ghost cultivators of the world and was the leader of the dark sects.

But after the peak is decline. Due to this or that reasons, after the couple of core dark cultivators in the sect died, they ultimately couldn't avoid the fate of destruction. They were challenged by a sword cultivator of the Mt. Shu Sword Sect who wiped them out by himself, becoming one of the legendary stories in this sword cultivator's wild life.

Lin Feng glanced at Sikong Nan and suddenly opened his mouth asking: "You are a member of the Thousand Ghost Sect?"

Sikong Nan was slightly stunned and then burst out with loud laughter: "Surprise surprise, there is actually still someone who remembers the Thousand Ghost Sect."

"That's right, I am precisely the last elder of the Thousand Ghost Sect, Sikong Nan." He laughed proudly: "You kid, from where did you hear the name of the Thousand Ghost Sect?"

Lin Feng said slowly: "I heard a friend mention it."

Sikong Nan laughed saying: "I'll say you guys have some knowledge."

Lin Feng continued to slowly say: "In his sect the story of your Thousand Ghost Sect has always been circulating around."

Sikong Nan was surprised: "He is also from a dark sect?"

"No." Lin Feng shook his head, his face revealing a warm smile like the spring sunlight: "My friend's name is Liu Yang, he is a disciple of the Mt. Shu Sword Sect. In his sect, the story of a mighty senior taking down your Thousand Ghost Sect by himself has always circulated around."

Sikong Nan instantly became silent.

The next instant, the space of the entire Netherworld Bead trembled, resounding with Sikong's howl of utter fury: "I'll kill you!"

Lin Feng secretly laughed. The angrier Sikong Nan is, the more unstable his mana control will be and the more openings he will reveal.

Even the Netherworld Bead will reject him more.

Sikong Nan was instantly taught a lesson, being miserably suppressed by the 24 Heaven Arhat Formation. At this time he also knew that he had fallen for Lin Feng's evil trick. He rushed to calm down his mind and just barely succeeded, continuing to confront Lin Feng.

The spiritual energy in the Netherworld Bead is very thick, like lead and mercury. It is very difficult for Lin Feng to move this spiritual energy.

In addition, over an extended period of time of being in contact with this spiritual energy, Lin Feng discovered that his mana actually had signs of gradually going out of control.

It's not tainting his mana like the True Blood River Water, instead it has a trend of reverting the mana that Lin Feng painstakingly cultivated back into regular and pure spiritual energy.

The training of qi of cultivators is channelling the spiritual energy of the world into their bodies and converting it into their own mana. And within this Netherworld Bead there is actually a faint type of strange power than can reverse the conversion between spiritual energy and mana.

It is precisely by borrowing this power than Sikong Nan is able to withstand the buddhist light refinement of Lin Feng's 24 Heaven Arhat Formation.

After thinking deeply, Lin Feng discovered that the Netherworld Bead this treasure could very likely be related to the legendary True Netherworld Water, or even be created using True Netherworld Water.

True Netherworld Water is also ranked as one of the six great true waters of the world like the True Blood River Water. It originates from the Netherworld, an existence even closer to the Infernal Hell than the Nether Blood River.

The Netherworld is also known as The River of Forgetfulness, True Netherworld Water is also known as the Water of Oblivion. Its power can purify everything within the world and revert it back to its primordial state.

As long as the human soul is stained with even one drop of True Netherworld Water, it will lose all memories.

When mana is contaminated by True Netherworld Water, it will also be reverted back to the purest spiritual energy of the world.

Luckily this Netherworld Bead also seems to have been greatly damaged. There isn't any real True Netherworld Water in the bead, or else right now all of Lin Feng's mana would have already been reverted clean.

But the Netherworld Bead is after all created using True Netherworld Water and carries a certain degree of the True Netherworld Water's mystical effect, helping Sikong Nan withstand Lin Feng's refinement.

Lin Feng calculated in his heart: "Fire and water do not agree. If I want to subdue the True Netherworld Water, it can only be the seven great true flames that are on the same level as it. I don't have any of the seven great true flames in my hands, but there also isn't any real True Netherworld Water here."

"The Fury Flames of Acala is one of the spiritual flames second only to the seven great true flames. If I can cultivate the Fury Flames of Acala then I can definitely subdue this Netherworld Bead's mana."

Unfortunately, just like his Kṣitigarbha Gilded Body, currently Lin Feng has still yet to cultivate the skill of the Fury Flames of Acala. It's not that he doesn't have enough talent, but that currently Lin Feng who is only at peak qi disciple, the level of his dao technique is too low and it is not sufficient to cultivate the Fury Flames of Acala.

Lin Feng's gaze landed on the bodies of the 24 golden arhats and he thought: "Maybe I can borrow their strength."

The 24 sariras making up the formation are all the spiritual remains of the Great Thunder Monastery's eminent monks. The cultivation level of these mighty buddhist cultivators is far more than simply foundation establishment stage. It is because Hui Ku's cultivation level was only foundation establishment stage, which is why he could only create 24 arhat light figures with foundation establishment strength.

Now that they've landed in Lin Feng's hands, following the increase of Lin Feng's dao technique level, foundation establishment stage is still okay, but if one day he is able to form an aurous core and attain aurous core stage cultivation level, he can remake these sariras and obtain 24 arhat light figures that possess aurous core stage strength. That, is a power that transcends the heavens.

Lin Feng converted his mana to the buddhist fire class mana of the Art of Acala. He then used to fire class mana of the Art of Acala to try and communicate with the 24 golden arhats.

Three golden arhats reacted, resonating with the mana of Lin Feng's Art of Acala.

Lin Feng's heart relaxed, he knows that his guess is not wrong.

The sariras manifesting these three golden arhats, in life as eminent monks, the dao technique that they practised should also have been the Art of Acala!

Lin Feng instantly laughed: "This will make things easy, I was just afraid that out of the 24 of you there wouldn't be a single one who practised the Art of Acala. Now there are actually three, hehe, old bastard, you're dead!"

Lin Feng constantly channelled the mana of the Art of Acala into those three arhat light figures. His mana stimulated the mana hidden with the sariras. Blazing flames instantly appeared over the three arhat light figures and they started burning up.

The other arhats split into three groups of seven, respectively guarding those three blazing arhats and continuously supplying their mana to the three blazing arhats.

The three blazing arhats brought their palms together and chanted a buddhist prayer. The fire on their bodies shot into the sky, connecting together as one and turning into a blazing sea of fire.

Warning signs emerged in Sikong Nan's heart. He stared in terror at the sea of fire above his head: "Little bastard, what do you want to do?"

Under Lin Feng's control, the 24 golden arhats stood divided in three directions, surrounding Sikong Nan in the center.

The three blazing arhats rose up into the air. Beneath the bodies of each blazing arhat were seven arhats holding them up, powerful buddhist light was constantly supplied to the blazing arhats.

The fire on the bodies of the blazing arhats became increasingly stronger, shooting into the sky and connecting together as one above Sikong Nan's head, turning into a blazing sea of fire.

Lin Feng's face showed an expression of anger, he shouted with a staggering gaze: "Buddha is merciful, but sometimes He also shows wrath, releasing eternal flames of fury, eradicating all evil, burning everything and all!"

Rumble!

The entire space of the Netherworld Bead jolted, afterwards a golden buddha with four faces, eight arms and an expression of anger slowly ascended from the sea of fire. Between the buddha's brows is a closed, vertical eye.

The golden buddha chanted a deafening buddhist prayer. In the buddha's voice, the vertical eye between his brows opened, shooting out a small, ivory-white ember from the vertical eye.

The ivory-white ember looks incredibly feeble, as if a gust of wind could extinguish it.

Yet, upon seeing it, Sikong Nan was incredibly terrified: "A Wisdom King! You actually cultivated the Fury Flames of Acala!"

In the air, wherever the ivory-white flame burned to, the space there would start to collapse and disintegrate!

Lin Feng extended a finger and pointed. The ivory-white ember instantly turned into a straight line, shooting towards Sikong Nan.

Where the fire line passed by, the mana within the Netherworld Bead that purifies all was instantly destroyed. It was simply unable to block the advancement of the fire line. The fire line shot to Sikong Nan's protective black mist, and it was as if a spark splashing into a pan of oil.

"Rumble"

The black mist completely vanished and it all started to burn up, turning into blazing flames. At this moment it all turned into fuel for the fire, helping the fire burn stronger.

The Fury Flames of Acala, within the flames are thoughts of incredible anger, thoughts of anger where even Buddha becomes angered and burns all. Even other flames, as long as they are not the seven great true flames, they will all be burned away by the Fury Flames of Acala.

Sikong Nan finally felt the threat of death, he was panic-stricken in his heart: "I truly am a tiger descended to the plains and being bullied by dogs! I have actually fallen to the state of being stepped on by this kind of kid. If it was in the past, I'd pinch him to death with a finger!"

"At this critical moment I can't worry about that much anymore. Even if I die I'm going to pull you down with me."

Sikong Nan roared saying: "Little bastard, let's die together!"

Following his roar, a low rumble travelled out from the depths of the space within the Netherworld Bead.

Lin Feng slightly wrinkled his brows and listened carefully. It seems to be the gurgling sound of flowing water.

"This is…" Lin Feng's expression changed drastically. He thought of something in his heart, but it was already too late for him to react.

The sound of flowing water travelled from far to near and became increasingly louder. In the end it turned into a loud rumbling as if a dam bursting!

A river with transparent, yellow water flowed down, rushing towards Lin Feng and Sikong Nan.

Lin Feng secretly cursed: "Fuck!"

Turns out it's not that there isn't any True Netherworld Water in the Netherworld Bead, on the contrary there is a tremendous amount of True Netherworld Water stored here.

It's just that Sikong Nan has always been unable to refine and control the Netherworld Bead, so this True Netherworld Water is also a great scourge for him and he didn't dare to lightly touch it.

But right now he has already been forced into a corner by Lin Feng, he's naturally let go of all concerns and figured that he might as well summon the True Netherworld Water to perish together with Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's expression was dark. The Fury Flames of Acala that he controls is still just a small ember. Against so much True Netherworld Water, it can't even make a splash and will be directly swallowed.

Sikong Nan laughed hysterically, getting swallowed first by the True Netherworld Water that rushed over. Lin Feng could very clearly see that the instant the fire surrounding him came in contact with the True Netherworld Water, it was all extinguished.

Seeing this scene, the corner of Lin Feng's eye jumped. His gaze wandered around looking at his surroundings and he was urgently thinking of a plan in his heart.

Suddenly, the scenery before Lin Feng's eyes lit up and he saw a massive, transparent sphere of light floating above the surging True Netherworld Water. Inside of the sphere of light is sitting a skinny teen, it was surprisingly Wang Lin.

"That is Wang Lin's soul." Lin Feng instantly realized. He didn't dare to hesitate and jumped onto the light sphere. He was like standing on a small raft, advancing following the rushing Netherworld river.

Only at this moment did Lin Feng have time to observe Wang Lin who was in the light sphere. He saw that his eyes were tightly shut and he was unconscious. He did not have any reaction towards Lin Feng's arrival.

Lin Feng's eyes moved and he sat down above the light sphere. He was located right above Wang Lin's head and the two people were as if on the top and bottom bunk.

The light sphere drifted along with the flowing water. After drifting for who knows how far, a black stone pillar suddenly appeared in the center of the river. The light sphere bumped into the black stone pillar but was not bounced away and instead was tightly stuck to the stone pillar.

Lin Feng stared at the black stone pillar and observed it for a moment. He extended his hand stroking the stone pillar. Right away a long dao technique incantation poured into his head.

"This is… the Netherworld Nirvana Manual? This is the dao technique to refine the Netherworld Bead this treasure?" It came to Lin Feng: "I see, so that's how it is. After Wang Lin wakes up, he will obtain the Netherworld Nirvana Manual here and start to comprehend the dao technique and skills contained in the Netherworld Bead, thereby completely refining this treasure."

"With the Netherworld Bead in hand, Sikong Nan that old geezer wouldn't be able to do anything with him."

Having a treasure and a dao technique, it would be about time for Wang Lin this lurking dragon to rise up into the sky. Stepping upon his golden path of invincibility.

This is probably the path of the chosen one that Wang Lin should be walking.

Lin Feng laughed. Since he's encountered this kind of lucky thing, he naturally won't be polite.

Lin Feng doesn't plan on taking away the fortuitous opportunity that should belong to Wang Lin, but he cannot allow Wang Lin to grasp the Netherworld Nirvana Manual on his own and then independently refine the Netherworld Bead,

Having him, this master, teach him the dao technique and then guiding him to refine the treasure, this is the correct tempo.

Thinking here, Lin Feng smiled faintly. He calmed his heart and started to seriously meditate on the profundities of the Netherworld Bead dao technique that came from the black stone pillar.

Inside of the Netherworld Bead is a spiritual space where no physical bodies exist, the area of the space is infinitely wide.

At a place very far away from the black stone pillar, a human figure suddenly floated up from the Netherworld river. It was surprisingly Sikong Nan.

But the Sikong Nan of now is greatly different from before. He is no longer circled by black mist and looking ghostly. Instead, his entire body has turned into the same dusky-yellow colour of the True Netherworld Water and his body is also semi-transparent.

Right now the old geezer's mana aura has also become the same as the True Netherworld Water, hiding an aura of annihilation and purification within the calmness.

"I may not have died, but I am worse-off than dead! I was actually refined by the Netherworld Bead this treasure. This life I cannot leave this Netherworld Bead." Sikong Nan's face was twisted and filled with hatred: "But I have also profited from misfortune, allowing me to not only no longer need to fear this True Netherworld Water, but to also be able to manipulate it."

Sikong Nan silently sensed his surroundings. The True Netherworld Water lifted up his body and then rushed in the direction of the black stone pillar.

"You two kids, this time you guys are dead!"

Xiao Yan and the other two were walking on the road. They were in a rush and returning back to Mount Heng together.

Xiao Budian suddenly blinked his eyes and said in a low voice: "Apprentice-brothers, someone is tailing behind us."

Xiao Yan is carrying the black greatsword that suppresses his mana, making it difficult for him to even do the most basic travelling. He doesn't have the spare energy to sense his surroundings. Hearing Xiao Budian's words he controlled the impulse to turn his head to look behind and silently threw a sidelong glance at Zhu Yi.

Zhu Yi also didn't act rashly and instead silently spread out his mana to investigate.

After a moment, Zhu Yi nodded his head virtually unnoticeably: "There are indeed some people. Their cultivation level is only qi disciple stage, it's not that monk from back then."

Xiao Budian big, black eyes turned: "When we left Chuzhou City, a group of people walked head-on past us. Amongst them was an old man. For some reason he was staring at me the whole time. Could they be together with him?"

After being silent for a moment, Xiao Yan said flatly: "Find a place in front and deal with them."

After knowing that they were being followed, Xiao Yan was silent for a moment and then said flatly: "Find a place in front and deal with them."

Right now he is carrying the black greatsword and his movement speed is as slow as a crawling turtle. If they allow the stalkers to reveal their location, their main group can catch up to them very quickly.

Xiao Budian and Zhu Yi looked at each other and both slightly nodded their heads. They are also decisive people, they will not tolerate ill-intentioned people to just follow behind them like that.

After reaching a tacit understanding, the three apprentice-brothers stopped communicating and didn't purposely increase their speed. But they gradually strayed from their original path and turned into a forest beside the road without changing their composure.

At this time, the two Yu clan cultivators following behind them revealed their figures and hurriedly chased into the forest.

Xiao Yan is carrying the black greatsword making his body extremely heavy. Walking on the ground, he really does leave a footprint with every step, so these two Yu clan cultivators aren't afraid of losing them either.

The tall cultivator amongst the two grumbled while walking: "Why does Young Master Tian have to have us follow these three little brats? It's a complete waste of time."

The short cultivator "shushed" him and said in a low voice: "Whatever Young Master Tian says, whatever we do. Don't talk so much crap."

He was in the middle of speaking when the footprints in front suddenly vanished. The reactions of these two cultivations was also quick, they immediately knew that something was wrong. They've very likely already been exposed.

Not waiting for them to react any further, a ringing sound suddenly travelled over from the thick foliage above them. The two people subconsciously raised their heads. The sound of wind travelled into their ears and a massive greatsword had already filled their vision.

Xiao Yan held onto the black greatsword and descended from the sky. His two hands holding onto the sword handle and chopping down with amazing power.

But the black metal greatsword is honestly too heavy, Xiao Yan is unable to nimbly wield it either. With this chop, the strength is truly amazing, but the faces of the two Yu clan cultivators both showed a smile of disdain.

The two people lightly jumped backwards together and had already escaped from the attack range of the black metal greatsword. The greatsword is too heavy, Xiao Yan is unable to change directions and can only watch the two people evade the sword blade.

But Xiao Yan does not care and even has the leisure to smile at those two Yu clan cultivators.

The two people were rather baffled by his smile. But the next instant, their scalps suddenly went numb and their hairs stood on end, as if there was some disaster that was about to descend upon them.

Xiao Budian carried the white bone mace that was like a hammer and silently appeared behind the short cultivator. He used a polished technique that could not be more polished and hammered the back of the short cultivator's head.

The short cultivator let out a cry and felt like there were golden stars spinning in front of his eyes. He turned his body with great effort, forcing himself to focus his mind and not faint.

But just turning around, he still hadn't seen anything yet and a white shadow flashed in front of him. Another hit hammered down hitting him square in the forehead.

The short cultivator's eyes rolled back and he no longer had the strength to struggle. He fell straight back and directly fainted.

This two hit combo of Xiao Budian's had truly grasped the essence of quick, accurate and ruthless. He has already trained it to the point of perfection. Even if Lin Feng was here he would have to sigh with emotion, this kid truly has talent in the promising career of knocking people out from behind.

At the side, Zhu Yi and the tall cultivator who were still fighting also slowed down, their eyes simultaneously looked over at Xiao Budian's side.

It was honestly that Xiao Budian this moe to the extreme, cute little shota, knocking people out from behind so savagely and skillfully honestly looks so wrong.

But this kid still didn't have any realization and was instead very complacent. He smiled towards Zhu Yi and said: "Second Apprentice-Brother, this is our school's secret technique, specially used to capture the enemy alive. When master taught it, you still hadn't entered into the school so you didn't have the chance to learn it."

"Wait a bit, in a little while I'll demonstrate it to you again. Once you learn it you won't need to have so much trouble next time."

Zhu Yi's composure that he built up from a decade of studying finally broke. The corner of his lips twitched as he shook his head: "This… I'll pass on it." Looking at this little guy in front who currently has the highest cultivation level amongst them three apprentice-brothers, but is willingly taking the position of the youngest apprentice-brother, Zhu Yi actually felt slight chills on his back.

That tall cultivator in particular was staring in shock at Xiao Budian.

Is this still a kid that isn't even five years old yet?

If he is, why does he have such a high cultivation level?

Most importantly, why is he so shameless!

What secret technique that is specially used to capture the enemy alive?

Please, that is a sneak attack!

The short cultivator has already fainted. If he wakes up and finds out the truth, he'll definitely also be like the tall cultivator right now, hundreds of millions of ancient tyrannosauruses running past in his heart.

Xiao Yan held onto the black greatsword in distress and said to Zhu Yi: "Second Apprentice-Brother, don't listen to his crap. Master was joking with him and this kid treated it as real… Or I should say, he knows that Master is joking but this move is just this kid's cup of tea, so right now he is parading around under Master's name.

At the side Xiao Budian was smiling very happily while Zhu Yi was shaking his head and smiling helplessly.

"For the moment, I can't use this thing when fighting." Xiao Yan sighed releasing his hand, throwing down the black greatsword and kicking up the dirt on the ground.

The next instant, Xiao Yan's figure flickered and he had already disappeared on the spot: "Attack together, let's end this fast."

The tall cultivator blanked and then saw Xiao Yan suddenly appear in front of him. His cultivation level that was suppressed by the black greatsword before all exploded out, his fist punching towards the tall cultivator's face.

Dodging Xiao Yan's fist in a fluster, the tall cultivator felt a chill on his neck. A sword had already been placed at his neck. The sword was held in Zhu Yi's hand. The green-clothed scholar had one hand behind his back in an indifferent manner: "It's best if you don't move. We already have a live one, whether we leave you alive or not depends on your own performance."

Speaking of live ones, Zhu Yu's eyebrows twitched again while looking at the short cultivator who was still unconscious on the ground, and he glared snappily at Xiao Budian.

Xiao Budian walked over with a grin and asked with a smile: "All right, speak, why are you following us?"

The tall cultivator wanted to open his mouth and talk bullshit, but upon coming in contact with those glittering eyes of Xiao Budian's and then seeing Xiao Budian play with the white bone mace in his hand, he instantly felt a chill on the back of his head and he could only force himself to say: "I am a cultivator of the Yu clan. If you guys are smart it's best if you guys let us go or else you guys will suffer big time."

The smile on Xiao Budian's face gradually faded. He didn't speak either, he just silently stared at that tall cultivator.

This person never thought that he would be scared by the stare of a four or five year old child.

Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi exchanged gazes. Zhu Yi said softly: "The maternal family of that Shi Tianyi?" Xiao Yan nodded his head with a dark expression.

Zhu Yi turned back and stared at that tall cultivator: "Agent of evil, just eradicate him."

The tall cultivator's heart froze, and then staring at Xiao Budian's expressionless little face, all of his courage instantly dissipated.

But he is also just following orders, he doesn't know why he is following Xiao Budian.

But Xiao Budian and co. understood very quickly. After knocking out that tall cultivator, Xiao Yan said in a heavy voice: 'Could they have recognized Youngest Apprentice-Brother?"

Zhu Yi nodded his head: "The probability is very likely. Maybe they are still unable to confirm it which is why they only sent two people to tail us, but it it is certain that they are already suspicious."

Xiao Budian lowered his head: "I dragged you guys down."

Xiao Yan waved his hand and said unconcerned: "What are you saying. We are apprentice-brothers, there's no dragged down shmagged down." He looked at the black metal greatsword on the ground and scratched his head slightly distressed: "If you want to talk about dragging down, it's me dragging you guys down instead."

"What way is there to move with this thing and also increase our speed without leaving any traces?" Xiao Yan pulled a long face: "Everything that we have has been sunk into this thing. Throwing it away is too much of a shame."

Hearing this, Zhu Yi and Xiao Budian also had distraught faces.

On the stream of water in the mountain, a bamboo raft floated down the water.

On the raft sat a green-clothed scholar and a child only four or five years old.

Sitting on the raft, besides controlling the direction of advance of the raft, the two people not only didn't paddle to accelerate, they instead controlled the raft to not drift too quickly with the stream.

A couple of bubbles suddenly appeared in the water beside the raft. Afterwards a completely soaked black-clothed youth rushed out of the water, nimbly landing on the raft and greedily breathing in the fresh air.

"If only we had Master's Black Cloud Flag, we wouldn't need to waster so much effort." The black-clothed youth is naturally Xiao Yan. The mana in his body circulated and hot air steamed from his body, instantly drying his clothes.

Zhu Yi said: "Saying that stuff now is all useless. This method may still be very slow, but at least we won't reveal our position."

Xiao Budian jumped up from the raft and smiled saying: "My turn." He plunged into the water and dived to the bottom. Xiao Yan's black metal greatsword was sunk in the sand under the water, dragging out a straight vertical line underwater from where it came.

Xiao Budian grabbed the black metal greatsword. The heaviness is secondary, the crucial part is that his mana has become stagnant. He thought: "This thing of Eldest Apprentice-Brother's is truly strange. Even though it is a burden, it is indeed a shame to throw it away. We'll just take it back and let Master see it."

Afterwards Xiao Budian drooped the tip of the black metal greatsword on the floor, dragging it on the sand and lifting his head looking at the raft above to determine his direction.

On the bamboo raft, Xiao Yan laughed helplessly: "Could I be considered wanting money over my life?"

Zhu Yi smiled faintly: "A saying that Master frequently says is 'There are always more solutions than problems'. It may be shallow, but it holds a strong element of truth."

The three people spaced out in the mountain for half a day and finally thought of this solution that isn't a solution, using the water route to hide their tracks. But the black metal greatsword is too heavy and the small bamboo raft is simply unable to transport it. So they can only take turns dragging it in the water.

A couple of kilometers behind the three people, a group of people were purusing them down the stream.

The leader is a young man. It is precisely the member of the main branch of the Yu clan, Yu Tian. His appearance is relatively handsome but his expression right now is incredibly dark: "This kind of stream in the mountains has countless branches. Chasing like this, it's very easy for us to go the wrong way."

He turned around and walked to the very back of the group. There is a black-clothed elder with a plain face, resting with his eyes closed and sitting on a chair, being carried by a couple of Yu clan servants using rods.

Yu Tian greeted him respectfully: "Elder Yue, please use your skill once. This is very important to the clan."

The black-clothed elder named Elder Yue didn't even move his eyelids and said coolly: "I am only responsible for protecting your safety, anything else is not my problem."

Yu Tian slightly knit his forehead, but he did not dare to persuade him again. He could only back off to the side and think: "Why did the clan send this old monster over, what bad luck." He doesn't dare to actually say this and instead glanced at Elder Yue with an expression of fear. Afterwards he hurriedly lowered his head and turned around leaving.

The black-clothed elder's body didn't reveal any hint of man, but just sitting there resting with his eyes closed, he was like an immovable mountain. (岳, yue, mountain.)

The raft turned around a river bend and their vision opened up. Zhu Yi stood at the front of the raft looking into the distance: "Next we have to return back on land or else we will stray further and further."

Xiao Yan nodded his head and used his mana to transmit his voice to Xiao Budian. Afterwards he jumped onto shore with Zhu Yi.

Xiao Budian also dragged the black metal greatsword and walked out from the water. He gave the black metal greatsword back to Xiao Yan while he himself recovered his mana while walking.

Zhu Yi asked: "Right now there are pursuers behind us. Do we still go back to Mount Heng to wait or should we go directly to Master?"

Xiao Yan pondered. Before he could answer, an old voice suddenly rose up" "Young Master Yi has actually already taken someone else as his master? This really isn't good, the Marquis once said that before Young Master Yi completes his studies, you cannot practise martial arts and cultivation."

The expressions of Zhu Yi and his apprentice-brothers all changed. Zhu Yi's eyebrows shook and he said calmly: "Mister Tao Er."

The person who came is a skinny and shriveled old man. It is precisely the second steward of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji, Mister Tao Er.

Following the appearance of Mister Tao Er, more and more cultivators of the house of the Marquis walked out from the mountain.

Tao Er closely sized up Zhu Yi, revealing an expression praise: "In not half a year's time you reached qi disciple level 6. Young Master Yi is very gifted, the Marquis' blood truly flows in you."

"But you disobeyed the Marquis' instructions, this is very bad."

Zhu Yi took a deep breath and said with a heavy voice: "The profundity of Father's cultivation level is his own skill. My cultivation level today originates from my own hard work and my master's teachings."

Tao Er shook his head: "Young Master Yi, you do not understand. The Marquis is just and harbors the future in his mind. His arrangements are absolutely correct, all you need to do is walk according to the path the Marquis has arranged for you."

Hearing this, not only Zhu Yi, Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian also wrinkled their foreheads.

But Tao Er did not care and continued to say slowly: "The reason I came out this time is, one, to investigate the matter of Huang San's disappearance, and two, to find Young Master Yi."

Zhu Yi said calmly: "Huang San and the other died by the hand of the Mt. Shu Sword Sect's aurous core stage cultivator, Liu Yang. I witnessed it myself."

"The Mt. Shu Sword Sect." Tao Er nodded his head and continued asking: "Then how did Young Master Yi you escape from danger, and what about those rebels of the Society of the Strong Gale?"

Zhu Yi answered saying: "The people of the Society of the Strong Gale escaped through a transportation formation. My Master saved me and afterwards I have been following Master and learning cultivation."

Tao Er nodded his head: "If that's so than we can only leave things like that for now. Young Master Yi, come home with me right now. You have been away from home for many days and the Marquis and the Lady all miss you very much."

Zhu Yi said calmly: "I want to follow Master to learn cultivation. When I have achieved success in the future I will naturally return."

Tao Er laughed: "Young Master Yi, you jest. You may not be the legitimate son of the Marquis and cannot learn the Marquis' cultivation path and skills, but the Marquis naturally will also arrange a suitable master for you. There is no need for you to find your own master."

"So, come back with me to Tianjing right now Young Master Yi.' Tao Er said as a matter of factly: "If you are worried that Master of yours will not let go of you, I will go speak to him for you. If he really is an enlightened master, he will naturally understand reason. How could he bear for his disciple and parents to be separated?"

Xiao Yan's and Xiao Budian's expressions both slightly changed, their bodies were just about to move but they were stopped by Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi lifted his eyes looking at Tao Er, he said calmly: "Master has saved my life and taught me. One day my master, always my master. I appreciate your kindness but I cannot accept it. Please return and report to Father that one day, I will definitely return to Tianjing, but it is not now."

Tao Er stared straight at Zhu Yi and sighed saying: "Young Master Yi has always been the most filial, yet now you have been guided onto the path of evil by someone. It is clear that Master of yours must be a treacherous man. Young Master Yi, please tell me where he is right now? I will go exterminate this demon right now."

"Such a demon should have his cultivation level destroyed, be immersed in feces and paraded through the streets to warn to world."

Not only did Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian show expressions of anger, even Zhu Yi's face also darkened. But they heard Tao Er continue to say: "In addition, before coming out, the Marquis instructed me that if I find Young Master Yi, I must be sure to bring back Young Master Yi safely."

"The Marquis' order must be completed."

While speaking, the cultivators of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji behind him had already spread out, surrounding Zhu Yi and his apprentice-brothers in the center.

For a moment, the three people's hearts all sank to the bottom.

In the Netherworld Bead at the heart of the river, Wang Lin had still yet to awaken within the sphere of light. Lin Feng sat quietly above the light sphere, his mind was still seriously studying the Netherworld Nirvana Manual from the black stone pillar.

The True Netherworld Water in the distance suddenly started to crash and gurgle. Surging True Netherworld Water supported a human figure who was rapidly approaching.

The human figure is precisely Sikong Nan. He saw Lin Feng and instantly laughed out loud: "Kid, the humiliation that you gave to me before, right now I will return it to you 100 fold!"

Report chapter

Sikong Nan waved his hands. Surging True Netherworld Water instantly roared towards Lin Feng, turning into a tidal wave and crashing down upon Lin Feng.

Right now Lin Feng has reached a critical moment in studying the Netherworld Nirvana Manual. Sikong Nan suddenly coming to interrupt made Lin Feng very irritated in his heart.

The 24 sariras floated above Lin Feng's head. Rolling buddhist light turned into a golden prosperous cloud, holding back the True Netherworld Water that fell from the sky.

The mana cultivated by buddhist dao techniques is the most heavy and condensed. Even the True Netherworld Water cannot get rid of it right away.

But the golden prosperous cloud is still rapidly eroding at a visible rate and will not last for much longer.

Sikong Nan laughed coldly while staring at Lin Feng: "Let me see how long you can last." While speaking, he constantly urged the True Netherworld Water to attack Lin Feng.

Lin Feng wrinkled his forehead and his mind communicated with the taotie cub in the ring, Tun Tun.

"I don't want to!"

Tun Tun shrieked, her little head shaking like a rattle-drum. She shouted in exasperation: "You're such a bad person. You actually want me to drink True Netherworld Water?"

Lin Feng laughed saying: "It's okay if you refuse, but I need to make it clear to you first that besides this thing, there isn't anything else for you to eat for some time. If you don't want to than just go starve."

Tun Tun was a bit hesitant. Seeing her expression, a thought appeared in Lin Feng's heart: "You've drank True Netherworld Water before?"

"Yeah, the taste is so good." Tun Tun hesitated for a moment and still said: "But after drinking it my head was all dizzy and I can't remember a lot of things from the past."

Lin Feng's jaw dropped. The taotie is truly one of the four great ancient savage beasts, swallowing the heavens and devouring the earth. It isn't even afraid of the domineering True Netherworld Water and just loses some memories. Its mana isn't actually purified at all.

"What's there to be afraid of. If it tastes good then everything's okay, deliciousness is the most important thing." Lin Feng tempted her incessantly.

The expression on Tun Tun's face become more and more struggled. She knows that Lin Feng does not have good intentions, but she cannot restrain her gluttonous nature. For a taotie, eating is a natural instinct on the same level as survival.

"Screw it, eat first think later. This past half a year was about to starve me to death!" Finally, the little loli yelled out in frustration. In her yelling, her body reverted back to her original taotie form.

Lin Feng tossed up the ring and removed the Heaven Cage Sigil within. A massive suction force instantly came from the ring, swallowing the True Netherworld Water like a black hole.

Taking advantage of the buddhist light and the ring blocking the river water, Lin Feng started to seize the time to study the Netherworld Nirvana Manual. While he was studying the dao technique, his mind was also attempting to communicate with the True Netherworld Water.

The same as the Art of Acala cultivating Fury Acala Flames, the ability cultivated by the Netherworld Nirvana Manual is True Netherworld Water.

Comparing the two and combining theory with practise, the many problems in Lin Feng's heart before all suddenly became clear.

In his mind, there seemed to be a river rushing by. The river water flowed unceasingly, like time, eternal and unstopping.

Lin Feng silently stared at his own reflection in the river. The reflection is not his fixed appearance and is instead constantly changing into a myriad of appearances.

A charming newly-wed girl, an old and dying elder, a meditating monk chanting scriptures, a dangerous bandit killing and robbing, a suave young man… One after another broken fragments, thousands of lives of reincarnation.

A light of understanding surfaced in Lin Feng's heart: "This is my last life, my last last life, my past lives of countless reincarnations…"

"Reincarnation through the Netherworld, death and rebirth. All life moves towards decay and oblivion here, and then new life!"

Daos of life, death, reincarnation and nirvana resounded in Lin Feng's mind. In the end they blended together as one and even connected together as a line with the mana in his body, like a Netherworld River quietly flowing in the Netherworld.

Lin Feng opened his eyes. Looking at the surging True Netherworld Water before him he smiled faintly.

Seeing his smile, Sikong Nan's heart trembled for no reason, as if he was about to be struck by disaster.

Lin Feng who was sitting down cross-legged suddenly stood up. He took back the ring Tun Tun is inhabiting and the golden buddhist light above his head also rose up into the air. No longer blocking the True Netherworld Water and allowing the endless river water to fall on his body.

Sikong Nan's eyes popped. He discovered in shock that the True Netherworld Water poured straight on Lin Feng's body, but Lin Feng was completely unharmed. There wasn't even a single drop of that True Netherworld Water that touched his body, instead it landed meekly under Lin Feng's feet and supported him up.

The True Netherworld Water that purifies and wipes out everything in the world is right now just like a docile servant. Obediently bowing down under Lin Feng's feet and holding up Lin Feng like protecting a king.

Head supporting the heavens, feet trampling the Netherworld!

Sikong Nan stared blankly at this scene: "How can this be?"

Lin Feng laughed: "Why not?" He glanced at Sikong Nan and smiled saying: "Get down."

With his command, the True Netherworld Water holding up Sikong Nan's body suddenly dropped. Caught off guard, Sikong Nan's body that was hanging in the air directly fell into the surging Netherworld River.

Sikong Nan was alarmed. Sikong Nan who has already been completely refined by the Netherworld Bead, all of his mana has merged with the True Netherworld Water. He can no longer use any of the dao techniques and skills that he knew before. If he is unable to control the True Netherworld Water, he'll essentially become a sheep at the mercy of the shepherd.

Unfortunately, right now no matter how he ordered it, the True Netherworld Water did not have any reaction.

Lin Feng was also not in a rush to attack. He only stared at Sikong Nan with a faint smile on his face. Right now Sikong Nan was as if he had a bucket of cold water dumped on him. He felt shivers from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, a deep despair surfaced in his heart.

He roared as if a trapped beast: "Even like so, you can't do anything about me either. I have already become one with the Netherworld Bead. Unless you destroy the Netherworld Bead, you can't kill me."

"With your cultivation level you simply cannot destroy the Netherworld Bead."

"Who said I want to destroy the Netherworld Bead? Rashly destroying such a treasure, isn't that a crime against nature?" Lin Feng chuckled and shook his head saying: "Not to mention, who told you that I can only kill you by destroying the Netherworld Bead?"

Sikong Nan blanked, an ominous feeling surfaced in his heart. The next instant, he suddenly felt that the True Netherworld Water around his body became increasingly heavier, crushing the breath out of him. Right now, the originally pale yellow river water actually gradually turned black.

The black True Netherworld Water constantly penetrated Sikong Nan's soul. Sikong Nan felt a feeling of suffocation like he was drowning.

Lin Feng said slowly: "I bet you don't know, there is a spell derived from the Netherworld Nirvana Manual called Netherworld Puppeteer. It can use True Netherworld Water to turn people into puppets."

"This puppet is different from your Hunder Demon Night Parade technique. You turn people into wraiths and they only keep their mana and cultivation level before death. But their memories and intelligence are all erased, all that's left is resentment and murderous intent. But it is ultimately an inferior result."

Lin Feng laughed softly and said: "This Netherworld Puppeteer spell of mine turns people into puppets, but not only can they retain their memories before death, they will even still retain their own consciousness."

Retaining its memories in life means that the puppet not only possesses its mana and cultivation level before death, even its abilities and spells will also be retained. Moreover it will possess the cultivator's rich combat experience during its life.

Retaining its consciousness means that it possesses intelligence. It can think and can react flexibly.

Sikong Nan's heart became colder and colder. Lin Feng looked at him and smiled saying: "Simply speaking, you'll be the same as before you were turned into a puppet, besides one thing."

"That is, you will unconditionally obey my every command."

Sikong Nan roared in despair. His originally pale yellow, nearly transparent soul had already been completely dyed black by the True Netherworld Water. Afterwards he was swallowed by the surging river water and sealed at the bottom of the river.

Only after repressing Sikong Nan did Lin Feng's mind relax. He slightly sensed something and he lowered his head looking at the light sphere beneath his feet.

Wang Lin's soul in the light sphere moved and he finally woke up. He opened his eyes with a dazed expression.

Report chapter

In the light sphere, Wang Lin finally woke up. He turned his head looking around. He just so happened to see the scene of Sikong Nan's roaring in despair and getting swallowed by the True Netherworld Water.

Thinking of Sikong Nan wanting to kill him before with monstrous ferocity, Wang Lin was slightly startled. Afterwards he lifted his head and saw a young daoist in a wide-sleeved white robe wearing daoist clothes looking at him with a smile.

Above that white-robed young daoist's head, a golden cloud of buddhist light shone brightly and the Netherworld River below his feet flowed endlessly. His sagely appearance made Wang Lin feel incredibly small.

At this time Wang Lin started to gradually remember that the last scene he saw before he fainted was this white-robed daoist descending from the sky, pushing back Sikong Nan and saving him.

Now it looks like Sikong Nan has already been executed and he has been saved.

Wang Lin hurriedly said: "I was rude before and betrayed your kindness. Now I have also been rescued by you, I am truly ashamed."

Lin Feng thought: "Damn straight." But only the surface he only smiled faintly: "As long as you are safe child. Such a small matter is nothing but the lift of a finger for me."

Wang Lin paused for a moment, his face revealing an awkward and struggling expression. He wanted to say something but he is too embarrassed to open his mouth.

Lin Feng knew his thoughts. He smiled saying: "Are you willing to take me as your master now?"

Wang Lin's mind was clear and he bowed down to the ground: "Before I did not know the immensity of heaven and earth and treated you without proper respect. Thank you for not abandoning me and saving my life. I am willing to follow under your teaching and be at your disposal. Please accept me!"

Lin Feng sighed towards the sky. In his heart he is actually more excited than Wang Lin: "Finally… Finally…"

At this moment, Lin Feng even had the impulse to cry. From the one year quest time limit there are actually only five days left. If things dragged on for another five days and he didn't completely the quest, with this bullshit system's bullshit nature, it definitely wouldn't be polite with him.

It would definitely kill him on the spot.

System notifications sounded constantly beside his ear. It was like a divine melody, unprecedentedly beautiful.

"Congratulations to host taking in your fourth direct disciple Wang Lin."

"Host has obtained reward of one lottery chance and 500 trading points."

"Main quest special reward issued!"

Lin Feng really wants to first look at his quest reward, but Wang Lin is still eagerly staring at him. Lin Feng could only force back his excited heart and say with an indifferent face: "This Netherworld Bead is a surprising treasure. Put it away and be sure to study the profundities within."

Wang Lin's lips moved but did not make any sounds. Seeing this Lin Feng knew the thoughts in his mind. He smile saying: "This treasure may be good, but it is nothing to me. This is your own fortuitous opportunity, cherish it well."

"You also have three apprentice-brothers, you'll understand when you see them. It is true that I will teach you guys everything that I know, but how far you guys can walk on this path of cultivation still depends on your own hard work."

Wang Lin thought, "That Sikong Nan was so fierce but Master could still easily exterminate him. Master also does not care about the treasure that I value with my life. Even though I don't know what Master's cultivation level is, it is definitely extremely high."

"Me training with Master is ultimately better than being a servant over at that Mount Heng School." Thinking here, Wang Lin's heart was fervent: "Father, Mother, I will definitely work hard. I can definitely become an immortal."

Right now Lin Feng was checking the data in the system related to Wang Lin.

Name: Wang Lin

Age: 15 years 6 months

Current Level: Qi Channeling, about to enter Qi Disciple Level 1

Potential Attributes: Bone Root 5; Comprehension 10; Will 10; Luck 8

Recommended Teaching Plan: "Recommended to practice water class dao techniques or dark sect dao techniques, in terms of abilities the recommended direction of development is a focus on spells.

Note: His bone root is relative poor so his initial cultivation difficulty will be greater, but he will seldom encounter bottlenecks when increasing his level. His cultivation progress is first slow then fast.

Right now Lin Feng has two water class dao techniques on his hand. One is the Blue Oceanic River Technique, one is the Netherworld Nirvana Manual. The latter is a lot stronger than the former and should originally belong to Wang Lin. With the assistance of the Netherworld Bead it can help Wang Lin quickly bridge the initial stage of difficulty.

After teaching Wang Lin the Netherworld Nirvana Manual, Wang Lin completely refined the Netherworld Bead this treasure. Right now inside of the Netherworld Bead, he is the absolute ruler, even Lin Feng can only simply protect himself.

But Wang Lin did not have any signs of smugness. He understands that this is entirely the arrangement made by Lin Feng to nurture him.

Wang Lin may look silent, but he is a very emotional person in his heart. Lin Feng saved his life today, accepted him as his disciple and gave him a great gift. This debt of gratitude will remain firmly in his heart.

Wang Lin refined the Netherworld Bead and then under Lin Feng's guidance, his soul left the Netherworld Bead and returned back to his body.

At this time Lin Feng's mind had also completely retracted from within the Netherworld Bead. Looking at Wang Lin he nodded his head in satisfaction.

This has been a fruitful trip. He took in Wang Lin this chosen one as his disciple and moreover cultivated the Netherworld Nirvana Manual this kind of top-tier dao technique, grasped the spell Netherworld Puppeteer and turned an evil spirit into his puppet.

It's just that the Netherworld Puppeteer may be good, but it also has its flaws.

Such as he can only refine the person under the state where their body is destroyed and only the soul remains.

Moreover, after practicing the Netherworld Puppeteer, the puppet is actually the same as a dead person. Their cultivation level before death is fixed and cannot be further increased.

In addition, under the circumstance where the difference between the caster and the target's cultivation level is too great, he also cannot refine it and could suffer backlash.

But what made Lin Feng the happiest is still the system reward after completing the quest. Besides taking in Wang Lin as his disciple and obtaining the standard lottery chance and 500 trading point, there is another special big prize obtained from completing the main quest.

The special big prize is directly a mystery chest with a question mark.

But Lin Feng noticed that there is still a difference between this chest and the mystery chest in his lottery system. The mystery chest in the lottery system that exists as the big prize is black, but this main quest reward chest in front of him is silver in color.

It looks a lot more high-grade.

Lin Feng opened the chest without any hesitation. After taking a glance his eyes became fixed, staring into the chest unable to pull away.

"This… This thing… Oh my God!"

Only after a long while did Lin Feng recover his wits and gasp. He felt a bit like his brain couldn't keep up.

"Master, Master!"

Seeing that his Master seemed to be pondering about something, Wang Lin originally did not want to disturb him, but he was also afraid of delaying his Master's business.

Lin Feng returned to his senses and turned his head looking at Wang Lin: "What's wrong?"

Wang Lin held a glowing crystal in his hand: "This crystal has been flashing non-stop."

Lin Feng focused his eyes. That is the voice transmission crystal, is there something happening with Xiao Budian and the other two?

Crushing the crystal, Zhu Yi voice traveled out from it: "Master, we've encountered people from the Yu clan. They might have recognized Junior Apprentice-Brother. We're doing our best to lose them. Eldest Apprentice-Brother was afraid of disturbing Master's closed-door training so he did not notify you. But I was afraid of an accident so I wanted to let Master know."

Lin Feng inhaled a deep breath. He lifted his hand taking back the Black Cloud Flag enveloping the valley and then lightly shook it. With the flowing of the black light, it wrapped up him and Wang Lin.

"Let's go!"

Tao Er stood on the spot unmoving while the group of cultivators of the house of the Marquis behind him surrounded them.

Zhu Yi and his two apprentice-brothers stood side-by-side. Zhu Yi laughed a bit helplessly: "Looks like now it's me who's dragged you guys down first."

Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian both laughed without care.

Tao Er who was originally standing still on the spot suddenly lifted his eyelids. A strong light suddenly surged in his originally muddy old eyes: "A remnant of the Buddhist sect?"

Tao Er's eyes were like lightning, looking towards the depths of the mountain.

In the mountain, a grey-clothed person wearing a straw hat on his head slowly walked out. Taking off the straw hat, he revealed a shiny bald head. Seeing this, Xiao Yan and co. were all dazed. The person is precisely the grey-clothed monk who stopped them in the city square of Chuzhou.

The three apprentice-brothers exchanged gazes and all felt ashamed in their hearts. No matter how foolish they are, they know now that this monk has probably been following behind them the entire time.

The grey-clothed monk brought his hands together: "I am Hui Kong of the Great Thunder Monastery, greetings Mister Tao Er."

Tao Er started to laugh: "You were fully aware that I was here and you still dared to show yourself?"

The grey-clothed monk, Hui Kong, calmly said: "I want to chase back the sariras of my sect elders. Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of flames or infernal hell in front of me, I will still plough forward without fear."

Tao Er retracted his smile and nodded his head: "If that's so then enter early into the cycle of reincarnation and go follow your sect elders."

Finishing speaking, he rose up his fists and the mana in his entire body surged. It actually manifested a might vajra apparition in the air, staring at Hui Kong with a fierce visage. A powerful mental pressure spread throughout the entire area.

Zhu Yi and the other two are not his target objectives, but facing Tao Er right now they all had a feeling like their bodies couldn't move.

The domineering strength of this skinny old man before them was completely displayed in this one move. Infinite power exploded out from his skinny and small body.

Zhu Yi thought: "No wonder Huang San is so polite in front of him. He is not respecting the elderly, he is afraid, afraid of Tao Er's strength that is above his!"

"Dragon Elephant Vajra Fist!"

Hui Kong's eyes suddenly opened wide, anger appeared in his eyes for the first time.

Because this martial skill that Tao Er is using right now is precisely the Great Thunder Monastery's secret Buddhist guardian skill that once shook the heavens.

Tao Er laughed leisurely: "That's right, this is precisely Dragon Elephant Vajra Fist."

"When the Marquis lead his army and exterminated the Great Thunder Monastery, he collected your dao techniques and skills as spoils of war and rewarded them to all of the soldiers who participated in the battle. This humble one only obtained the fist manual for this Dragon Elephant Vajra Fist. But after dozens of years of hard training I've finally obtained some mastery."

"You seem to be very discontent? The monks of the Great Thunder Monastery befogged the minds of the people, endangering the country and were rightly exterminated. But your dao techniques and skills should not have been buried along with it. They should be learned and used by more suitable people." Tao Er spoke with fervor and assurance: "The monks who practised the dao techniques and skills committed evil, but the dao techniques and skills themselves do not have any fault."

Hui Kong stared straight at Tao Er and then inhaled a deep breath: "Today I will exterminate you first, in the future I will definitely find Zhu Hongwu that evil dog to settle things!"

Finishing speaking, he brought his palms together. Boundless golden buddhist light illuminated the surrounding dozens of kilometers of forest.

In the golden light, a ferocious and dignified aura burst forth from within. The light figure of a garuda flashed faintly within. It spread open its two wings, bringing up a strong gale and blowing everybody off balance. Numerous ancient, towering trees were blown down by the strong wind.

"Garuda Blade!" Hui Kong chanted a buddhist prayer in a low voice. The garuda in the buddhist light shook its wings. Ten of thousands of blades of light shot towards Tao Er like a storm. It was like a heavy, golden rain had covered the entire mountain!

Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian exchanged gazes and whispered: "He's even stronger than that big monk using the sariras from before."

Xiao Budian nodded his head: "He's the same as that old geezer of the Blaze Sword Sect, they're both aurous core stage cultivators!"

Facing the torrential golden light storm, Tao Er leisurely threw a punch at the light storm. He used the might of the vajra incarnate repressing evil to face it head on. The indomitable punch of extreme strength was as if it wanted to shatter the space that Hui Kong occupied.

The light storm rained on Tao Er's body and constantly exploded. But Tao Er was as if he had become the incarnation of a vajra, crossing the sea of suffering and as steady as a mountain. Powering forward and punching towards Hui Kong.

In everyone's eyes, Hui Kong seemed to have become a demonic clown about to have his body obliterated by this punch and sent into the cycle of reincarnation.

Hui Kong's expression slightly paled, he knows that he is no match for Tao Er.

As an aurous core stage cultivator, this Tao Er has completely abandoned spells and instead trained his body and martial skills to the limits of his current cultivation level.

Spells and martial skills are all abilities. Martial skills are not as rich and varied as spells, but once cultivated to a certain degree, they also possess great power that can move the mountains and seas.

They are even more powerful in close-quarters combat.

Hui Kong inhaled a deep breath. The garuda apparition in the golden light fused as one with his body and then he turned into a beam of light, fleeing hundreds of kilometers away in an instant and escaping Tao Er's attack range.

Tao Er sighed: "The Garuda Windsurfing Technique? Looks like I can't kill you today." Hui Kong left without any delay, he did not drag his feet at all. His Garuda Windsurfing Technique is the Great Thunder Monastery's strongest escape technique, travelling hundreds of kilometers in an instant. Tao Er's cultivation level may be higher than his, but he cannot catch up to him.

But like this, them three apprentice-brothers are now in trouble.

After driving away Hui Kong, Tao Er turned his head and smiled saying: "Okay then, take me to go find that demon who deluded you Young Master Yi. After killing him I can take you back to Tianjing to report to the Marquis."

Xiao Yan and co's expression slightly paled. If possible, they would immediately take Tao Er to go see their Master and then let their Master beat the crap out of Tao Er. But right now their Master is in closed-door training. If they bring Tao Er over and disturb their Master, that would be bad.

The three people had the same thoughts, they all bit their teeth not speaking.

Tao Er just wanted to say something when he suddenly furrowed his brows: "Why are there so many outsiders today?"

"Mister Tao Er's words are not right. If you really want to say, this place is our Great Qin Dynasty's territory. You all come from far away, you guys are the true guests." A group of people walked out from the forest, the leader is precisely the member of the main branch of the Yu clan, Yu Tian.

Sensing the mana fluctuations from the confrontation between Hui Kong and Tao Er and having a target, the people of the Yu clan instantly rushed over.

Tao Er did not pay any heed to Yu Tian. His gaze fell upon the body of the plain faced Elder Yue being carried at the very back of the group: "Is it Daoist Master Shan Yue?"

At this time Elder Yue did not rest with his eyes close. He stood up staring at Tao Er and slightly nodded his head: "Mister Tao Er of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji? Greetings."

Tao Er said: "I am unworthy." Only now did he turn his gaze towards Yu Tian: "What is Young Master Yu here for?"

Yu Tian's gaze fell upon Xiao Budian. He asked the elder beside him: "Are you certain it's this little brat?" The elder nodded his head very certainly.

"I am here today from this little brat." Yu Tian said: "What about you, Mister Tao Er?"

Tao Er looked at Zhu Yi and said directly: "I am here to find our family's Young Master Yi. I don't need anyone else, you can take them all away. But I need to first find out the whereabouts of their Master and go get rid of that person."

Yu Tian stared at Xiao Budian, a trace of cruelty flashed by in his eyes: "Oh, you even found a master? Then there is indeed a need to get rid of him. Does Mister Two know where that person is?"

Tao Er shook his head. This time he placed his sights on Xiao Yan who hasn't been focused on much this whole time: "Naturally it is difficult for me to force Young Master Yi. That kid is yours so I won't care about him either."

"This black-clothed kid doesn't have any use. I'll pry open his mouth and get the answers from him."

Tao Er looked at Xiao Yan and said indifferently: "This black-clothed kid is of no use. Let's pry open his mouth and get the answer from him."

Hearing this, Yu Tian also looked towards Xiao Yan and started to laugh sinisterly: "Pretty good, just what I was thinking." While speaking he waved his hand and a couple of Yu clan cultivators circled over wanting to capture Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan stared coldly at this scene. At this time he suddenly opened his mouth asking: "I say, have you guys planned things out a bit too optimistically?" His hands let go of the black metal greatsword and the greatsword crashed on the ground kicking up dirt.

His two hands extended outward and mana gathered in his palms, condensing into two clusters of corporeal flames. The flames burned brightly and started to constantly compress. Compressing and compressing until they turned into two dark-red spheres of light.

Seeing these spheres of light, Tao Er's and Yu Tian's expressions both slightly changed: "Red Lotus Burst, the Void Temple?"

Xiao Yan's expression was ice-cold. His two hands push forward and the two spheres of light flew towards the the Yu clan cultivators who pounced over.

"Boom! Boom!"

The two massive clumps of fire instantly exploded open. The two Yu clan cultivators didn't even have the time to react and their bodies were already blown into mists of blood!

The roaring flames instantly swallowed the flesh and blood, directly turning them into ashes. Not even crumb was left.

Two massive pits were blown open on the ground. Jagged cracks spread out like spiderwebs and the entire cliff was about to be torn apart.

Everyone else stared dumbstruck at this disastrous scene. They may all be mass murderers with their hands stained in blood, but seeing their companions being blown to smithereens by Xiao Yan's Red Lotus Burst, everybody felt chills run through their entire body.

Tao Er's eyes flashed: "Take them down, I want them alive. Find out their background."

Along with Xiao Yan's attack, Zhu Yi and Xiao Budian also rushed forward together. Under the cover of the firelight from Red Lotus Burst, they instantly charged into the enemy line.

Crackling lightning poured out from their bodies. For a moment lightning flashed, dying everybody's vision blue and purple.

The next moment, two massive lightning blades roared into existence, crossing together and forming a cross. Arcing through the air like a mowing sickle.

Wild Lightning Blade!

Xiao Budian and Zhu Yi who both practise the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique together used the Wild Lightning Blade that Lin Feng taught them. The violent lightning blade cut all obstacles in front of it directly into pieces, wildly reaping human lives.

"Capture the ringleader first in order to capture all his followers." Zhu Yi shouted in a low voice. He unsheathed the sword at his waist, Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian also did the same action.

The sword technique of the Wayward Flying Sword and the escape technique of the Cloud Dragon Escape were fully displayed by the three apprentice-brothers. They turned into three arcs of light and shot towards the sky.

Bully the weak, them three brothers aren't so stupid as to go fight Tao Er who is considered a strong person even in the aurous core stage.

Yu Tian also didn't think that these three kids all look like they're just qi disciple stage, but they are actually so fierce. They're mana is vigorous and their skills are astonishing. For a moment they were actually completely wrecking havoc amongst his men.

Seeing them all charge towards him, Yu Tian laughed in anger: "Perfect." His hands formed a spell sign and a crystal bottle flew out from his sleeve. At first it was only the size of a thumb, but it grew in the air and instantly turned into a dozen meters tall, the diameter of the bottleneck was a whole ten feet.

A massive force of suction came from the mouth of the crystal bottle, wanting to directly suck in Xiao Yan and co..

Xiao Yan yelled: "Duo!" and also brought out the Buddhist Thunder Staff. For a moment, buddhist light exploded and directly withstood the suction of the crystal bottle.

But with this delay, Xiao Yan and co's assault was also dissolved. Yu Tian sneered, the lineal dao technique of the Yu clan, the Art of the Water God started circulating. A mana aura as vast as the ocean instantly weighed down on Xiao Yan and co. making it hard for them to breath.

Seeing this, Tao Er praised him saying: "Young Master Yu is truly a child of the Yu main branch and a main target of nurture. Already establishing your dao root at such a young age."

Yu Tian's cultivation level is far superior to Xiao Budian's and the other two's. Even with three against one, he is still at ease. The endless cold air had virtually turned into a cover, enveloping the three people. In the area of the cold air, Xiao Yan and co. all sensed that not only had their mana circulation become sluggish, even their bodies were about to become frozen.

Xiao Yan bit his teeth: "Screw it." He threw away the sword in his hand not using it and suddenly lowered his body, picking up that heavy, burdensome black metal greatsword.

"If you and me really are fated today, then help me get over the hurdle in front." Xiao Yan clenched his teeth, his mind completely assimilated into the black metal greatsword.

"Rumble!"

After just entering, Xiao Yan instantly knew that he'd poked the hornet's' nest.

Like an unparalleled tyrant who had been in deep slumber being suddenly awoken and releasing the most terrifying roar!

In Xiao Yan's mind, there was only fire, purple fire, boundless and endless fire! The fire that was like a mighty ocean dyed the entire space in a terrifying, sinister purple!

"Hm!" Tao Er suddenly opened his eyes wide. Elder Yue who originally had a half-dead look also also had a more serious expression.

In the dense fog of cold air, Xiao Yan's pained and frenzied howl travelled out from within. The next moment, a dark purple greatsword nearly 10 meters long and as wide as a door rose up into the air and pierced through the cold mist!

Xiao Yan released a furious roar, his hands holding onto a greatsword of fire and lifting it high above his head, pointing straight at the heavens. He had an imposing manner as fierce as a god of fire descending upon the human world and cleansing all evil. All enemies will be burned to nothingness.

Yu Tian was dumbstruck. He watched as Xiao Yan ripped apart the cold mist with his sword and chopped towards him!

Soaring flames arced through the air, virtually tearing apart the air and leaving behind a dark purple trail in the air that lingered on.

This attack kills all enemies below the aurous core stage!

At this time Elder Yue could not longer sit by idly and he released a cold snort.

Light flickered in front of Yu Tian and a divine blackstone mountain suddenly surfaced. It was ancient, heavy, majestic and indestructible.

Xiao Yan's cultivation level is far inferior to his and the fire greatsword was blocked the the divine blackstone mountain. Even though it struck the divine blackstone mountain and caused it to constantly shake, it was unable to break through Elder Yue's defense spell.

The fire greatsword exploded with a bang. The flames that burst out turned into a flurry of scattered flames, hitting the surrounding qi disciple and foundation establishment cultivators and causing them to flee in a panic.

Elder Yue exhaled a long breath: "Not bad boy!" But he did not show any mercy. He formed a spell sign and the divine blackstone mountain flew up into the air and pressed down towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan looked at this scene unresigned, but he no longer had the strength to attack again. The black metal greatsword fell heavily to the ground. All of his mana was exhausted and he couldn't even move a pinky finger.

"This sword of yours, give it to me too." He heard Elder Yue's voice beside his ears. Xiao Yan wanted to resist, but the divine blackstone mountain directly pressed him down on the ground, the black metal greatsword was also already snatched off the ground.

Elder Yue swung around the black metal greatsword: "It is indeed extraordinary, but you are unworthy of it." While speaking, he increased his mana and the divine blackstone mountain shrank to the size of a millstone, but its weight increased instead, crushing Xiao Yan making him lie on the ground unable to move.

"Speak, where is that Master of yours?"

Xiao Yan lay on the ground, he clenched his teeth not speaking. His entire skeleton were creaking and all of the bones in his body were about to be crushed by Elder Yue's spell!

Zhu Yi and Xiao Budian exclaimed: "Eldest Apprentice-Brother!"

"Quiet!" Xiao Yan roared in a low voice. Blood faintly exuded from his face. He strained himself and turned his head looking towards Elder Yue: "Take it easy old geezer. One day my master will find you guys to settle things and cut down your dog heads!"

Tao Er at the side walked over, his face was expressionless: "There won't be that day. The result will only be me killing him. Unfortunately you are destined to be unable to see that wonderful scene."

Only at this time did Yu Tian who was still in shock collect his wits. He stared at Xiao Yan with a dark expression. He never imagined that he would almost be killed by a qi disciple level 9 kid. Right now he is a bit furious from embarrassment: "Elder Yue, break all of the bones in this little bastard's body."

He stared at Xiao Yan and said with a cruel smile: "You are very loyal to your master, but is there any use? What need is there for a master who can't even protect his own disciple. He's nothing but a worthless wretch."

Xiao Yan growled: "Bullshit!"

Elder Yue constantly increased his power. Xiao Yan's body was already releasing the sound of bones breaking, putting him in a cold sweat from the pain. Elder Yue said coldly: "I'll give you another chance. Tell me where your master is and I'll end your suffering."

"In, your, dreams!" Xiao Yan said one word at a time, using all of the strength in his body.

Zhu Yi and Xiao Budian wanted to charge over, but they were respectively surrounded by the cultivators of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji and the Yu clan. They are hopelessly outnumbered and are also about to be captured.

Tao Er looked at Zhu Yi and said slowly: "Young Master Yi, do you see? Maybe that demon is right around here, watching his own disciple suffer but not daring to come out to save him. You tell me, what use is there is having such a waste as your master?"

With a quiet and pale face, Zhu Yi did not say anything.

Yu Tian on the other hand, walked over beside Xiao Yan and kicked Xiao Yan's back. He laughed saying: "You are wrong Mister Tao Er. Looking at this black-clothed kid, you know that a piece of trash taking a piece of trash as his master is just perfect."

Xiao Yan's eyes were bloodshot: "Don't call me trash!" The feeling of powerlessness today made him think of those dark three years of time again.

Yu Tian laughed saying: "I called you that, what can you do about it?"

"Not much, you just need to leave your life behind."

A cold and indifferent voice suddenly sounded in the air.

Yu Tian's smile froze on his face. Everybody's expression slightly changed.

Tao Er and Old Geezer Yue turned their gazes towards the distance. There, two people appeared.

One of them is a thin and small youth, closely following behind another person.

That is a young daoist in a wide-sleeved robe wearing daoist clothes, staring at them without any expression on his face.

Zhu Yi and Xiao Budian called out simultaneously: "Master!"

On the ground, Xiao Yan had already fallen into a semi-unconscious state. After seeing who came, his eyes beamed with a weak radiance and he started to laugh.

Lin Feng looked at the black-clothed youth whose face was covered in blood. After being silent for a moment, he nodded his head not saying anything, but Xiao Yan understood his meaning.

Turning around and facing Yu Tian and co., Lin Feng only said one line.

"Come die!"

If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Report chapter

"Come die."

Lin Feng opened his mouth saying. His voice was calm and indifferent.

Not mentioning Yu Tian turning red in the face, even Tao Er and Elder Yue wrinkled their foreheads.

They cannot see through Lin Feng's cultivation level, but having their noses pointed at and being cursed by Lin Feng, they both boiled with anger.

Elder Yue snorted coldly: Petty tricks, let me see what you've got."

Finishing speaking, he waved his right hand and the divine blackstone mountain crushing Xiao Yan flew up into the air. It turned into a massive mountain that blocked out the sky and pressed down towards Lin Feng.

The light in the sky above Lin Feng's head instantly darkened.

"You are not worthy to fight with me." Lin Feng didn't even look at the mountain above his head. He said coldly: "Let me find you an opponent on the same level."

Before his voice had died away, a tall black figure suddenly appeared in front of Lin Feng.

Elder Yue was dazed for a moment before seeing that the black figure looks to have a human form, but its entire body is covered by heavy armor. In the slits of the armor, red light flashed faintly.

A terrifying aura of frenzied brutality swept the entire area. The violent mana fluctuation like a natural disaster made Elder Yue's and Tao Er's faces change colour.

Elder Yue blurted out: "What is that thing?"

Lin Feng didn't pay him any attention, he only lightly said to the armored giant: "Kill this old bastard."

The position of the two eyes on the giant's helmet visor was originally pitchblack. At this time two red dots of light suddenly lit up and it released a loud roar.

"Roar!!!"

A deafening roar as if it came from an ancient, prehistoric time resounded in the entire mountain, as if a slumbering giant suddenly woke up at this moment.

In the roaring sound is a ruthlessness and tyranny that makes people's hearts pound. It was like it was filled with an endless desire for destruction and slaughter. The source of the roar represents the most terrifying calamity in the world.

Destroy, slaughter, rage, ruin!

The most violent and domineering beast in the world escaped from the cage imprisoning it and reappeared in the world!

Not waiting for anybody to react, the armored giant's feet stepped on the ground. Violent power caused the mountain to be torn asunder and the dirt to fly in the air.

Using the power of the reverberation, the armored giant's body flickered and had already vanished from the spot. The next time it appeared again in everyone's sights, it was already beneath the divine blackstone mountain. And right now the divine blackstone mountain has just floated to above Lin Feng's head and has yet to come down upon him.

Elder Yue's heart tightened. He saw that armored giant raise its fists upward, striking a pose of Atlas carrying the world and smashing the bottom of the divine blackstone mountain.

The armored giant was as if it wanted to fell the pillar supporting the heavens in one punch and shatter the earth!

Right now the divine blackstone mountain is nearly 100 meters tall with a radius of hundreds of meters. The armored giant's body may be of heavy stature, but its height is only 2-3 meters. The size of the two parties is completely disproportional.

But in the violent crashing noise, it was the massive divine blackstone mountain that was directly smashed away!

The incredibly massive mountain was directly smashed away with one punch!

The crowd of people were all dumbfounded. His soul-bound magic item that is attached to his life being damaged, Elder Yu in particular coughed out a mouthful of blood.

Everybody stared in terror at the armored giant in the air.

War God Golem!

This is the system reward Lin Feng obtained after completing the main quest.

As long as there is enough energy provided for consumption, this War God Golem that is not afraid of death can explode with absolutely terrifying combat strength.

Originally with Lin Feng's current cultivation level, he is entirely unable to control it, but he just so happens to have a nice material on his hands.

Before this, he threw Sikong Nan's soul that he had controlled using Netherworld Puppeteer into the War God Golem. Even though Sikong Nan's cultivation level has dropped due to heavy injury, his strength in the past was extremely powerful. Even nascent soul stage cultivators are looked down upon by him, so the quality of his soul is very high.

And right now, Lin Feng is using the means of sacrificing him and forcing Sikong Nan to burn his soul to provide power for the War God Golem.

No matter how he struggles, Sikong Nan who has already fallen under Lin Feng's control can only obediently sacrifice his soul. The anger and depression in his heart intensified the War God Golem's ferocity and bloodlust even more.

After smashing away the divine blackstone mountain, the War God Golem landed on the ground from the air and smashed a deep pit in the ground. Countless pieces of broken stone rolled down virtually burying it alive, but the next instant the pile of broken stones exploded and countless stones shot in all directions.

A massive black shadow charged up from the stone pile and pounced straight at Old Geezer Yue!

Old Geezer Yue's was blue in the face. He called back the divine blackstone mountain to block in front of him. Right now the massive mountain has shrunken down to the size of only a human fist, the mana is condensed to the extreme and the defense has also been elevated to the extreme.

Old Geezer Yue spit out a mouthful of vital blood onto the divine mountain. The divine mountain flared with an amazing brilliance, black light flowed and condensed into a hand-held shield. On the face of the shield is relief of a Mighty Miracle God, emitting a powerful, indestructible aura.

Divine Mighty Miracle Shield, the strongest defense!

But, it's useless!

The War God Golem destroyed the Mighty Miracle Shield with one punch, smashing the divine blackstone mountain away again. This time it directly turned into a small dot and flew towards the horizon, no longer able to be seen again.

Elder Yue was dumbstruck. The War God Golem had already charged to his front and sent him flying with a slap.

The old geezer coughed out mouthfuls of blood and was flung into the air. The bones on one side of his body crackled, breaking out of shape in his body. He looks floppy and mushy.

It wasn't over yet. The War God Golem's body flickered and it had already caught up beside him.

Lin Feng sneered saying: "You wanted to crush all of the bones in my disciple's body just now?"

The War God Golem lifted its big feet and heavily stomped on Elder Yue's body. The old geezer released a blood-curdling scream. With this, the bones in the other half of his body that were still relatively okay were also completely crushed. His entire body had turned entirely into a pool of sludge and he collapsed to the ground.

The cultivators of the Yu clan all had blank expressions. They were originally in the middle of capturing Xiao Budian. Seeing this scene, some guy reacted over first. He hurriedly retreated, afraid of himself becoming the War God Golem's target.

With one person taking the lead, the other people all reacted over. They all stepped backwards and a large empty space instantly appeared around Xiao Budian.

Yu Tian's eyeballs were already about to fall to the ground. Even in their Yu clan, an aurous core stage guest elder is still a core member. But he was actually kicked over on the ground by someone in one move.

What made him even more scared is that Lin Feng's gaze had already fallen upon him. He opened his mouth coldly: "Just now, you said my disciple is a piece of trash?"

Yu Tian's entire body trembled. He shrank backwards wanting to hide into the crowd. Before he was afraid that he didn't stand out enough, but now he is scared of Lin Feng seeing him.

Unfortunately, he is just deluding himself.

The War God Golem charged into the crowd like lightning, knocking everyone off their feet and then grabbing towards Yu Tian.

Yu Tian shouted angrily: "You've gone too far!" The crystal bottle flew out from his sleeve, growing in the air and turning a dozen meters tall. The 10 foot bottle mouth was aimed at the War God Golem, wanting to suck in the golem.

At the same time, the mana of the Art of the War God was circulated by Yu Tian to the extreme. A dense ice fog spread out wanting to freeze the enemy.

Unfortunately, it's all useless!

The War God Golem completely ignored the besieging ice fog and directly smashed apart the crystal bottle with one punch. It than picked up Yu Tian like a little chick and dragged him out of the ice fog.

Yu Tian released a panicked yell: "What do you want to do?"

Lin Feng stared coldly at Yu Tian: "Just now, it was this leg that stepped on my disciple's body?" While speaking, a thought arose in his mind and the War God Golem grabbed Yu Tian's right leg.

"No! You dare…"

Not waiting for Yu Tian to finish speaking, the War God Golem had already ripped his leg straight off from his body!

Yu Tian screamed. Not waiting for him to faint, in the sound of the War God Golem's bellowing, his entire body had already been completely ripped apart!

In the blood rain the rained down from the sky, the War God Golem that howled towards the sky was like a god of slaughter descended upon the world. Frenzied, savage and all-powerful!

At this time, Tao Er who was silent at the side the whole time suddenly took a step forward, His skinny body was as fast as lightning, charging towards Xiao Ya who was on the ground!

Lin Feng's expression turned cold: "You court death!" The War God Golem roared, throwing down Yu Tian who was like a broken bag and rushing out like lightning. It arrived first even though it moved later and had already blocked in front of Tao Er.

"Such speed." Tao Er's face was calm. He originally wanted to use Xiao Yan as a hostage, but now that he has been intercepted by the War God Golem, he simply changed his offensive, wanting to catch the War God Golem off guard.

The old geezer inhaled a deep breath, the skin on his body like withered tree bark started to roll violently.

The scenery in front of everybody's eyes blurred. They saw Tao Er's skinny and shrivelled body blow up like a balloon. His old and wrinkled skin also became smooth and rich at this instant, flashing with a bright, rosy lustre.

In a moment, feeble old Tao Er was actually as if he'd become rejuvenated, turning into ten foot tall buff man in an instant!

The muscles under the surface of his body were like they were cast from iron, filled with an explosive strength. His plump, round face was solemn and dignified. His eyes stared at Lin Feng like the glare of a vajra.

Only now at this moment did Tao Er show his true strength. It is also only under this state that he can unleash the full power of Dragon Elephant Vajra Fist.

Tao Er breathed out loud and shouted: "Sky dragon and sky elephant, suppressing all demons!"

With this shout, Tao Er's mana vibrated strongly. He formed a 30 foot tall vajra apparition above his head, at the same time also manifesting a dragon and an elephant that simultaneously circled around the vajra apparition.

The dragon and elephant together released a long, deafening cry. The scales on the dragon's body shook, emitting the supreme authority of the dragon as the ruler of the nine heavens, repressing all life in the greater realm.

All of the muscles in the elephant's body stirred. Its four feet trampled around wildly, virtually causing an earthquake.

With this dragon and elephant appearing together, Tao Er has used his ultimate move, the ace up his sleeves. The power of Dragon Elephant Vajra Fist's killing move, "Dragon Elephant Demon Vanquishing" has been exerted to the extreme, fiercely attacking towards the War God Golem.

But, it is still useless!

The War God Golem didn't even look at Tao Er's attack and it didn't block either. Its fists rose upwards, like the quaking of the earth, the lava that erupts from the volcano, the flooding rivers and lakes, the ancient dragon that rises up from being startled, all erupting together.

Just exerting force like this, it had already directly scattered Tao Er's dragon elephant apparition. The War God Golem's fists transitioned to open palms, its hands flipping over together and smashing down towards Tao Er head!

With this flip and press, Tao Er instantly felt like the world had flipped around. The entire space collapsed down and a conception of great destruction as if the entire universe was about to be destroyed completely enveloped him!

Awe-inspiring might like Heaven and earth had been overturned!

This is the thought in Tao Er's heart when he was facing this move of the War God Golem's. This kind of awe-inspiring might virtually wore down all of his courage.

But he has after all cultivated for many years. One aurous core swallowed into the stomach, through the gates of life and death. With the strong will in his heart, he instantly returned to his senses.

With a fierce roar, his hands turned upward and with the position of supporting upwards, he withstood the War God Golem's palms that pressed downward!

"Boom!" When his two arms and the War God Golem's pressing down palms just came in contact, Tao Er instantly felt his entire skeleton wildly creaking, like it could burst apart at any moment!

Tao Er's vision blurred. All of the blood in his body was virtually about to explode everywhere from the agitation. His mind slacked and his knees became weak. He directly fell to the ground on one knee!

One knee heavily kneeled on the ground like a giant hammer smashing the ground. Like a meteor falling to the earth, the solid ground around him caved in forming a massive crater, The surrounding dust and dirt was stirred up like a sandstorm!

The War God Golem's attack directly beat a great aurous core stage cultivator onto his knee on the ground!

With this kneel, Tao Er's kneecap was completely crushed!

His leg was completely scrapped!

But if not for this kneel, if he stood straight and took the War God Golem's attack head on, all of the bones in Tao Er's body would have probably been crushed to pieces on the spot. Even his spine would be injured.

At this time, Tao Er who was always very composed finally became panicked. His eyes were bloodshot and he released a wild and desperate roar, all of his mana was circulated to the extreme. The vajra apparition formed again, wanting to shake off the War God Golem.

Lin Feng stared coldly at Tao Er not speaking, he only gave a command in his heart to Sikong Nan's soul that was injected into the War God Golem.

"Burn completely, explode with everything you've got."

The red light in the War God Golem's eyes flashed wildly. It released a loud roar and its body suddenly straightened. The armor over its entire body opened up and dazzling red light shot out from all of the slits as if there was something exploding within.

The War God Golem's feet exerted force while standing still on the spot. The ground instant shook like there was an earthquake.

Its palms that had originally exhausted all of their energy instantly erupted again with a world crushing power, suddenly pressing down towards Tao Er!

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!" Wild screams, Tao Er's entire skeleton became twisted, ………………………

Following after Old Geezer Yue, the second steward of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji, aurous core stage cultivator Tao Er also followed his footsteps. His entire skeleton was shattered by the War God Golem.

Everybody stared in terror at this scene before them, for a long time they could not speak a word.

In the sound of the War God Golem's violent roar, Lin Feng's voice was calm and cold, as if it came from the very depths of hell.

"Who else is there!"

"Who else is there?" Lin Feng calmly asked.

The cultivators of the Yu clan and the House of the Marquis of Xuanji all stared at the War God Golem in terror. They subconsciously shook their heads and stepped backwards, afraid of themselves becoming the next target.

Lin Feng slightly knit his brows. With a thought the War God Golem roared at the sky. Its roar harbored endless mana and formed invisible ripples that spread out everywhere, knocking its opponents down like bowling pins.

The sound waves spread to the distant skyline. The air in the sky shook, revealing Monk Hui Kong's shocked face.

Lin Feng laughed coldly saying: "Want to hide at the side to seize an opportunity?"

"Those who had their eyes on my disciples, don't think of leaving today."

The War God Golem growled, its legs exerted force again and created a deep pit in the ground while its body shot straight like a cannon towards Hui Kong who was hiding in the air.

Hui Kong's face paled and he wanted to use the escape technique of the Garuda Windsurfing Technique to escape.

If he is allowed to use the escape technique, he will instantly skyrocket away and flee hundreds of kilometers away. Even the War God Golem can't catch up to him.

But the War God Golem's explosive power is too strong. Its short distance dashing speed is shockingly fast, virtually passing through over a thousand meters of space in a flash. It charged in front of Hui Kong like instantaneous teleportation.

And at this time, Hui Kong had yet to use his escape technique.

Too fast, the War God Golem's speed is honestly too fast. Hui Kong's escaped technique can be used with a single thought, but he still didn't have enough time!

Hui Kong shouted with open eyes: "Buddha is merciful."

If he can't dodge it than he won't . While buddhist light flashed, the garuda spread its wings releasing a deafening cry, setting off a powerful storm that seemed to want to tear asunder the sky.

With the spreading of the garuda's wings, countless blades of light shot towards the War God Golem.

Unfortunately, it's all useless!

The armor over the War God Golem's body was already dyed in a red light. Its final bit of strength burst forth, forcing its way through the light storm attack. Its arms spread open and directly embraced Hui Kong whose eyes seemed to be about to pop from anger.

Being tightly constricted by the War God Golem's iron cast arms, Hui Kong was unable to move. He couldn't even circulate his mana and he was directly captured alive.

The three aurous core stage cultivators on scene today who wanted to do harm to Lin Feng and his disciples, two of them died and one of them was captured. Nobody escaped.

Lin Feng shook the Black Cloud Flag and put away the War God Golem and Hui Kong.

Taking back the Black Cloud Flag, Lin Feng did not say anything. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky in the other direction.

A wave of laughter travelled over from the sky: "Nice skills fellow daoist, you let me see a good show!"

The clouds spread apart, revealing Master Pubei's figure. Behind him was also following a couple of people. They are clearly the executive level of the Eternal Dao Sect.

Lin Feng said coolly: "You've watched enough fellow daoist, what do you have to say showing yourself now?"

Mount Heng has already become the Eternal Dao Sect's territory, the battle nearby naturally startled Master Pubei. He rushed over here a long time ago and silently observed at the side.

He didn't have any interest in Tao Er, all of his attention was on Lin Feng.

Unfortunately Lin Feng himself did not do anything, he just sent out a golem that destroyed everyone.

"That golem may be powerful, but it can only bluster around in front of aurous core stage cultivators. It is nothing to me." Master Pubei thought: "But this daoist is truly a bit enigmatic. I have nothing against him and even owe him a small favor."

"This person is not to be made an enemy of."

The group of Eternal Dao Sect cultivators behind him all looked at Lin Feng with wary expressions. The two aurous core stage cultivators among them felt unsettled in their hearts: "What a domineering golem. If I were to face it I would probably also suffer the fate of death. With such a golem, isn't the master even stronger?"

"How come I have never heard of such a person before?"

The couple of foundation establishment stage cultivators looked at Lin Feng and the War God Golem, they showed faint expressions of fear.

Master Pubei still hadn't made up his mind on whether or not to make an enemy of Lin Feng. He restrained his arrogant behaviour a lot and smiled peacefully saying: "The chief culprit has already been exterminated by fellow daoist, allow me to take care of these remaining small fries. They are causing trouble on my Eternal Dao Sect's territory, I have unshirkable responsibility." (TL: Yes, I know it's contradictory.)

Lin Feng sneered in his heart. His words sound good and he appears to be helping Lin Feng, but isn't he actually just doing it for himself?

The Eternal Dao Sect is located at the southern border of the Eternal Dao Sect. In the first place they aren't afraid of the Great Zhou Dynasty's House of the Marquis of Xuanji. If the Marquis of Xuanji dares to come to the Qin Dynasty, there will naturally be bit shots of the Qin Dynasty coming forward.

As for the Yu clan, that's even less of a problem. For the Eternal Dao Sect, displeasing the Yu clan not only isn't a bad thing, they could instead even benefit from it.

The southern border is the sphere of influence of the Huo clan, one of the four great clans of the Great Qin Dynasty. The Huo clan has always been on bad terms with the Yu clan, their relationship is that of nearly mortal enemies.

If the Eternal Dao Sect hands over these members of the Yu clan, it is instantly a great merit and they will obtain the regard of the big boss of the area. This is greatly advantageous to the Eternal Dao Sect's further development.

Master Pubei this old monster has some fine calculations.

But Lin Feng doesn't plan on stopping him and instead made use of the opportunity to agree. An extra person to help himself split the attention of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji and the Yu clan, what is there to be against?

Seeing Lin Feng agree, Master Pubei laughed out loud. He ordered the experts of the Eternal Dao Sect behind him: "Go capture them all."

Lin Feng arrived beside Xiao Yan and lifted up the feeble black-clothed youth.

Xiao Yan grinned: "Master, I saw it all, great fight!"

Lin Feng touched his bones. There were many places that were broken and Xiao Yan trembled in pain.

"Little Yan, you're good, very good." Lin Feng inhaled a deep breath: "No need to worry, Master will definitely heal you. It will not hold up the fight between you and Murong Yanran."

Xiao Yan grinned with pain: "You have to keep your word Master, or else when the time comes I won't only be shaming myself, but also you Master."

At this time Zhu Yi and Xiao Budian also walked over. The two people had heavy expressions and Xiao Budian's eyes were even a little red: "Eldest Apprentice-Brother…"

Strictly speaking, the enemies who came forward today were here for him and Zhu Yi. This all had nothing to do with Xiao Yan, but in the end it was Xiao Yan who suffered.

Xiao Yan gave a crooked smiled: "Since you guys call me Eldest Apprentice-Brother, I have to do my utter best to protect your guys."

"Just like Master said, in regular families the older brother must protect his younger siblings, not to mention us?"

Xiao Yan turned his gaze to Lin Feng's back, looking at Wang Lin who was a bit at a loss. He said with a smile: "Yo, you are Master's newest disciple?"

Witnessing everything that happened before, Wang Lin was feeling an upsurge of emotions right now and he still hadn't completely calmed down.

Lin Feng himself didn't do anything. Just sending out a golem he beat the crap out of three great aurous core stage cultivators.

In front of Lin Feng, Master Pubei who moved a mountain to destroy the protective formation and nearly single-handedly exterminated the Mount Heng School also didn't have his previous domineering arrogance.

Seeing Lin Feng go on a killing spree for his disciple and seeing Xiao Yan who ended up gravely injured for his two junior apprentice-brothers, Wang Lin suddenly felt a warm feeling surge in his heart.

He bowed respectfully to Xiao Yan. This bow was more sincere than all of the bows that he did before in the Mount Heng School.

"Greetings Senior Apprentice-Brother!"

The four apprentice-brothers all greeted each other while Lin Feng pondered in his heart: "Xiao Yan's injury is too severe. If he isn't properly taken care of his body will become crippled."

He suddenly thought of the pill recipe for the Great Thunder Revival Pill that he obtained half a year ago after killing Hui Ku that big monk.

The Great Thunder Revival Pill, The Great Thunder Monastery's world famous healing panacea. It has a miraculous effect in healing the damaged body. It can revive the dead and regrow limbs. (TL: Does not actually revive the dead, just an expression.)

Lin Feng sighed and thought: "Looks like it's time to learn alchemy." Spreading the Black Cloud Flag, he wrapped up his four disciple and flew into the air.

In the meantime, the thought lingering in the minds of the other Eternal Dao Sect cultivators was: "If only I had a master like that too."

Report chapter

Controlling the Black Cloud Flag to fly in the air, Lin Feng thought about the matter of the Great Thunder Revival Pill while entering into the system with slight jitters.

It appears that this bullshit system has issued a new quest again.

Gathering up four disciples, Lin Feng had completely the first main quest. The new quest issued this time shouldn't be a side quest but the new main quest.

Main Quest 1.1 — Create the fundamental dao technique of the sect.

Quest Description: A sect assimilating and mastering the dao techniques and skills of other legacies is no doubt good, but you must build upon past achievement and scale new heights on the existing foundation. Only by having your own unique dao techniques and skills can you lead the world and pass down your legacy for time eternal, establishing your position as the number one sect.

Quest Time Limit: One year, if not completed before time limit, directly eliminate host

Looking at the quest description, Lin Feng also nodded his head in approval.

He is going to create his own sect, of course he has to have a fundamental dao technique unique to his sect. If he's always using other people's dao techniques and skills and he gets recognized, awkwardness is only the least of it.

No matter how amazing another person's dao technique it is, it is the legacy of a different person, how can it be the foundation of his own sect?

To create his own sect, he needs to create his own, original dao technique. Moreover, his original, self-realized dao technique and skills have to be superior to all that already exist in this world. Only like this can it be considered the legacy orthodoxy of the number one sect.

But despite the rhetoric, after seeing the quest time limit, Lin Feng's face instantly turned black.

Once again there's only one year's time, but creating one's own dao technique and skill isn't an easy thing to do at all.

Lin Feng laughed helplessly and sighed. His beautiful dream of him entering closed door training first for 100 years and then directly coming out to kick ass was once again shattered.

"At the very least let me reach foundation establishment first." Lin Feng is already at the great circle of perfection of qi disciple. The next step is to establish his qi ocean and form his dao root. From qi disciple stage to foundation establishment stage is a great leap forward than can greatly boost Lin Feng's strength.

Even though he just swept away three aurous core stage cultivators, Lin Feng is self-aware that that is just the War God Golem's strength, it is not his own.

The War God Golem's combat strength is completely proportional to the strength of the power source supplied to it.

In the short term it's very difficult to have the strength today again when sacrificing Sikong Nan. A lucky event like Sikong Non this big shot old demon just happening to be in trouble and then landing in his hands is pure chance.

Currently, Lin Feng doesn't even have the resources to prompt the War God Golem to move, let alone have today's combat strength.

Unless he provides the sariras as a power source for the War God Golem.

But the 24 Heaven Arhat Formation is currently Lin Feng's strongest weapon besides the War God Golem. With one missing sarira he is unable to set up the formation. Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Feng does not want to take that step.

Which is why Lin Feng wants to advance to foundation establishment stage first. After reaching foundation establishment, Lin Feng can refine the sariras again. At that time he can reduce the number of sariras to set up the formation and change the 24 Heaven Arhat Formation into the 18 Arhat, 16 Arhat or something.

The arhat formation's power may drop a bit, but it can create a surplus of power sources to provide to the War God Golem. Clearly it is a good deal.

But after just having this thought, a notification prompt popped out from the system closely afterward.

After getting a clear look of it, Lin Feng nearly fainted over.

"Forming your dao root, the first step in thousands of years of cultivation and longevity, and also the most important foundation. Host must reach foundation establishment using the sect's original fundamental dao technique."

Lin Feng felt his chest tighten. At this moment, besides swearing he honestly didn't have anything else he wanted to say.

He should have already known that with this unlucky system, there isn't the most bullshit, only more bullshit.

"Initiating Fundamental Dao Technique Creation System, enter now?"

Lin Feng grunted and then clicked in. System notifications continued to ring beside his ears: "Meditate on an image and the system will automatically create a dao technique based on the image."

"Would it be that simple?"At this moment Lin Feng calmed down and pondered in his heart. It sounds easy, all he has to do is think of an image in his mind.

But what should he use? Should he screw around a bit or be more serious?

After carefully thinking for a moment, Lin Feng restrained his impulse to screw around.

A thousand story building rises from the ground. If he covets a moment of pleasure, causing his foundation to be unstable and influencing the completion of the quest later, this system presumably won't mind giving him a quick one.

Dao technique foundation…. Dao technique foundation… Lin Feng thought for a moment, a black and white blending image surfaced in his mind.

Taiji. (TL: Or Tai chi. I'm gonna use taiji. You can learn more on wikipedia.)

This world doesn't seem to have the taiji diagram. The mark of the daoist holy land, the Void Temple is also just a white prosperous cloud.

"Confirmed host's thought, starting to create…"

Hearing the completely emotionless mechanical voice beside his ears, Lin Feng sighed. Heavens take pity, he actually wanted to try transformers or pikachu.

"《Heavenly Scripture of the Dao》successfully created…"

A scene of nothingness appeared in Lin Feng's mind. The nothingness gave birth to a taiji diagram of a yin and yang fish.

The taiji diagram started to spin, turning into the two colours white and black and filling the entire void.

Closely afterwards, from the black and white polar opposites was born the four phenomena, earth, water, fire and air.

The chaotic earth, water, fire and air stabilized in the void, further developing into the eight scenes of Heaven, Earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, mountain and lake.

Seeing this scene Lin Feng understood in his heart: "This is taiji produces the two modes, the two modes produce the four phenomena, the four phenomena produce the eight trigrams…"

The eight images split into eight directions. After settling in the void and turning into eight black hole-like objects, they stopped changing. The system notification rose up once more: "Please choose basic reference dao techniques to create the first chapter of the《Heavenly Scripture of the Dao》, the《Eight Trigrams Chapter》.

A thought surfaced in Lin Feng's mind. Looking closely at the eight images that represent the eight trigrams and linking them with the system notification, he had a guess in his mind: "It wants me to get eight types of dao techniques that already exist in this world and then merge them together to obtain a completely new dao technique as my original dao technique?"

Thinking here, Lin Feng decided to give it a test: "The eight images that represent the eight trigrams shouldn't be for show either. There must be a certain requirement, maybe it is the original attribute of the dao technique."

Lin Feng thought of the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique in his mind, and then he saw the black hole in the void representing "Thunder" of the eight trigram images suddenly light up and become a mass of white light.

Afterwards Lin Feng thought of the Netherworld Nirvana Manual. Sure enough, the black hole representing "Water" also turned into a mass of white light.

To continue verifying his guess, Lin Feng thought of his other water class dao technique, the Blue Oceanic River Technique. This time the remaining six black holes did not react at all.

"Looks like that's how it is." Lin Feng exhaled a long breath. Next up is the Art of Acala and the Kṣitigarbha Sutra. Sure enough, the black holes representing "Fire" and "Earth" also lit up in succession with white light.

Looking at the four remaining black holes, Lin Feng slightly frowned: "Heaven, wind, mountain and lake? Heaven, wind, mountain, lake… Hold on!"

With a thought, a small black mountain the size of a human fist shakingly landed on his palm. It was precisely the soulbound magic of Old Geezer Yue from before. After getting smashed away by the War God Golem, Lin Feng secretly used the Black Cloud Flag to take it.

This mini black mountain that can change sizes was repeatedly damaged by the War God Golem. Right now it has already lost the majority of its spirituality and must be repaired and refined again.

Lin Feng doesn't care about the magic item itself, but instead about the writing faintly carved on the small mountain.

"Supreme Mountain Script… Haha, just as I suspected, God is truly on my side!"

Lin Feng laughed happily. Maybe to increase its power, this magic item of Elder Yue's actually had a portion of the dao technique of his sect, the Supreme Mountain Script carved onto it.

Thinking of the dao technique of the Supreme Mountain Script, the black hole in the void representing "Mountain" also lit up with white light.

More than half of his original dao technique has already been completed, Lin Feng was instantly in high spirits: "There still remains Heaven, wind and lake. Hm, I've already saved up a lot of trading points and I was also rewarded a lottery chance from taking in Wang Lin as my disciple."

Thinking here, Lin Feng immediately entered into the trading system.

If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Report chapter

Lin Feng first entered into the trading system.

This time he has a clear goal, that is to try and find three suitable dao techniques. Trying his luck in the lottery system is naturally placed at the back, first he's going to find ones to his liking in the trading system.

Lin Feng saved up not using the 500 trading points rewarded from the Black Cloud Underground Palace side quest before and the 500 trading points rewarded from taking in Zhu Yi as his disciple. Now adding the 500 trading points rewarded from taking in Wang Lin as his disciple, Lin Feng has currently saved up a total of 1500 points.

Compared to when the system was first initiated and the mere 300 points provided by the novice gift, Lin Feng could be considered relatively rich.

But dao techniques are all expensive items, he still needs to plan carefully when trading them.

"Art of the Scattered Stars, secret dao technique of the Way of the Stars, comprehending the rotation and movement of the stars in the heavens… This should be able to meet the requirement for "Heaven", right?" Lin Feng scanned the price: "800 trading points?"

Lin Feng slightly knit his brow and then carefully searched in the trading system for a moment, but there was only the Art of the Scattered Stars this one dao technique related to "Heaven".

"Look at the other ones first." Lin Feng changed target and continued searching.

"Heavenly Wind Daoist Scripture, secret dao technique of the Heavenly Wind Temple, comprehending the profound mysteries of the circulation of wind and cloud. Can obtain the Heaven Twister Gale skill from cultivation."

"Art of the Turbid Waves, secret dao technique of the Turbid Waves School, a technique for simultaneous mastery of both water and earth spiritual energy… Water and earth coincide perfectly, sediment in lakes. Hm, sounds good."

Sounding good is one thing, but the price made Lin Feng a bit worried.

These two dao technique are the same price as the Art of the Scattered Stars. They all cost 800 trading points.

The three added together are a whole 2400 trading points. Lin Feng laughed helplessly. Just now he felt like he could be considered a rich man, looking at it now he's still a poor guy.

"Let's buy one first and then see if I can get lucky in the lottery. If all else fails, I have to do everything possible to get a side quest and earn some more trading points." Lin Feng pondered, at any rate the system still left one year for him.

The main quest this time is a one shot deal. As long as he gathers 8 suitable dao techniques, he can merge and create his own, original fundamental dao technique for his sect. Not like the last main quest where he had to find his four disciples one by one.

Thinking of the reward of the main quest, Lin Feng felt his heart blaze.

Even though power sources are not easy to find, the War God Golem's might gave Lin Feng a deep impression. When he completes the main quest again this time, the reward presumably won't be stingy either?

Lin Feng first payed 800 trading points and exchanged for the Art of the Scattered Stars.

Comprehending the Art of the Scattered Stars, a magnificent scene appeared in Lin Feng's mind.

Like a completely clear night sky, the vast starry sky could be seen at a glance. The stars in the heavens flowed endlessly, thousands of millions of stars wandered and spun in front of Lin Feng one after another, rendering the most mysterious and magnificent scenes one by one.

Absentmindedly, Lin Feng felt like he was in a space of nothingness. Space did not have a boundary, time did not have an end, he just stood there silently flying and wandering with the stars beside him.

The disappearance and movement of every star seemed to harbor a principle of the universe.

But when Lin Feng wanted to probe the secrets within, they brushed past him and it was difficult to see the truth.

"The conception of this dao technique is excellent. Millions of stars, each harboring a powerful and profound principal. But in the end, the person who created the dao technique hadn't reached that level, he could only scratch the surface. In the end he only had a hazy understanding and shook around a half bottle of vinegar, flaunting his half-assed knowledge."

Lin Feng shook his head in regret but didn't take it to heart, because right now the black hole representing "Heaven" of the eight trigrams had already lit up with white light.

Before Lin Feng after all only had a guess that this dao technique that comprehends the secrets of the stars could meet the requirement. But if he guessed wrong, those 800 big bucks would have gone completely down the drain.

But reality shows that the Art of the Scattered Stars meets the system's requirement and Lin Feng relaxed his mind.

Eight types of dao techniques, now he has already gathered six. Just two more and he can merge them together.

Coming out from the trading system, Lin Feng entered into the lottery system and prayed in his heart: "It would be the best if I could directly get one, then things would be very easy."

First he looked at the wheel system, the three dao techniques in it all do not meet the requirements.

Entering into the dice system, Lin Feng looked at the selected items. The first thing that entered his eyes was a Great Thunder Revival Skill.

"Holy cow." Lin Feng breathed in and continued looking down. He saw the Heavenly Wind Daoist Scripture quietly placed in the number 12 grid.

Lin Feng was a bit divided. One cannot have both the fish and the bear paw. This kind of decision alway makes people's balls hurt.

But very soon, Lin Feng noticed an even more ball aching matter.

The Great Thunder Revival Pill's number is 1, that is to say the dice has to roll a one to be able to get the pill.

… But the problem is, how can three dice roll a one? The smallest is a three.

Before he's never encountered the situation where what he wanted was in 1 or 2, so Lin Feng didn't really care and he only reacted over now. You actually can't get one or two in this dice system, adding the two empty grids, there are actually four grids in the dice system where he can't obtain the item within.

Lin Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You stingy system, taking advantage of me even on this kind of small thing?"

But Lin Feng could accept it this time. The system essentially made his choice for him, just go straight for the Heavenly Wind Daoist Scripture in number 12.

"12… 12… 12! Go!"

Under the control of Lin Feng's thought, the system threw the dice. The three dice started to rapidly spin on the light disk.

The first die stopped very soon. Lin Feng looked over and his heart sank half way down.

One?!

Lin Feng's heart instantly tightened. The remaining two dice have to be a six and a five for him to be able to get the Heavenly Wind Daoist Scripture.

Very soon the second die stopped.

Six!

"Nice!" Lin Feng clapped his hands, his eyes staring straight at the last die and repeatedly chanting: "Five, five… Five!

The die stopped.

Still a six…

The first is a one, the second is a six, the third… is also a six!

Lin Feng was silent for a moment and then exploded open: "Fuck you motherfucker! You system, you're retarded, your entire family's retarded!" (TL: 13 points is apparently colloquialism for retarded, but just as a joke or in an unharmful way. Like cute retarded…)

"Fuck!" Lin Feng left the system with a depressed face. He couldn't even be bothered to see what exactly was in the number 13 grid.

At this time the system notification suddenly sounded beside his ears.

"Host has triggered random side quest, Wind Thunder Sigil!"

Lin Feng was dazed for a moment. When he returned to his senses, he first checked what exactly he got.

That is a stone talisman the size of a palm. Sparse line patterns are engraved on top, ancient and grand.

Flowing Wind Sigil, the crown treasure of the Wind Thunder School of the past. It is a pair with another Thunder Element Sigil. The two sigils combined can set up the Wind Thunder Genesis Sigil Formation.

The Wind Thunder Genesis Sigil Formation, wind and thunder rage, helping each other grow hand in hand.

Cultivating inside of the Wind Thunder Genesis Sigil Formation, the cultivator can enjoy the nourishment of endless wind and thunder spiritual energy. They can get twice the result with half the effort and their cultivation speed far surpasses the average cultivator.

Lin Feng was dazed for a moment and then checked the side quest.

Random side quest, Wind Thunder Sigil.

Quest Background: The Wind Thunder Sigil was originally the crown treasure of the Wind Thunder School. In itself it does not have a lot of power, but the two combined as one can set up the Wind Thunder Genesis Sigil Formation. This attracted the covetous eyes of other forces who went to rob it. Ultimately the Wind Thunder School fell and the two sigils went missing.

Quest Objective: Head towards the great intersecting mountain range, the Wind Thunder Sea where the Thunder Element Sigil is located. Use the bond between it and the Flowing Wind Sigil to find the Thunder Element Sigil.

Quest Time Limit: Three months, if not completed on time, the quest will be failed.

"Misfortune may be an actual blessing!" Lin Feng remarked with a smile plastered on his face.

This Wind Thunder Sigil may not have any combat power, but using it to assist in cultivation, it is practically a cheat-like existence.

With this thing as compensation, his depression from not getting the Heavenly Wind Daoist Scripture was also swept away.

Not to mention he also triggered a side quest. Completing this side quest and obtaining the reward, he'll be able to directly exchanged a dao technique from the trading system.

Lin Feng put away the Flowing Wind Sigil and calculated in his heart: "Find a way first to get a Great Thunder Revival Pill to heal Xiao Yan's injury, and then head towards the great intersecting mountain, the Wind Thunder Sea to find the Thunder Element Sigil."

Thinking here, Lin Feng planned on going to check up on Monk Hui Kong who was captured by the War God Golem.

Maybe this monk from the Great Thunder Monastery might have a ready-made Great Thunder Revival Pill on his person?

As an aurous core stage magic item, the Black Cloud Flag may have been tainted by the True Blood River Water and is unable to exert its true power in battle, but Lin Feng still easily uses its ability of carrying people to fly and shifting through space.

As a spatial type magic item, besides being able to engage in short distance spatial travel, the Black Cloud Flag can also open up an isolated space.

Two black masses of light flickered in the space. One of them is wrapping up Xiao Yan and his three apprentice-brothers. Lin Feng went to check up on them, Xiao Yan's injury is relatively stable.

While the other mass of black light is wrapping up the War God Golem. Right now it has already become tranquil, the red light in its eyes has completely extinguished and its frightening aura has also vanished. It is just like a statue.

The War God Golem's arms are still tightly clamped around Hui Kong. Even though the War God Golem has already lost its energy, Hui Kong who was captured by it also had his mana sealed and was unable to move.

Seeing Lin Feng, Hui Kong's lips moved. He wanted to say something, but in the end he still closed his mouth not speaking.

On the surface Lin Feng looked like he didn't care at all, but he was actually secretly observing Hui Kong.

"You are also here for my disciple?"

Lin Feng asked coolly: "I heard my disciples say that you recognized Hui Ku's Buddhist Thunder Staff and you are looking for Hui Kong?"

Hui Kong raised his head and muttered a buddhist prayer: "Amitabha, I am indeed here for that traitorous junior apprentice-brother Hui Ku. Accurately speaking, I want to chase back the sariras of my sect elders that were desecrated in Hui Ku's hands."

"Hui Ku committed great treason and actually refined the sariras of the sect elders into magic items. I absolutely cannot sit by indifferently."

Even though he landed in Lin Feng's hands, Hui Kong still had a calm look. It's not that he's not afraid, but that he has his faith in his heart and his will is strong enough.

Lin Feng asked: "What is your buddhist name?"

Hui Kong responded: "My buddhist name is Hui Kong."

Lin Feng looked at him and suddenly asked: "If I tell you Hui Ku's location, what will you do after you find him?"

Hui Kong's drooping eyelids suddenly flipped open and a strong light surged in his eyes: "Cripple his cultivation prowess and take him in front of Buddha to recite scriptures for the rest of his life to atone for his sins.

Lin Feng stared at his eyes, he knows that this big monk is telling the truth.

"Unfortunately little monk, you can't do that anymore." Lin Feng said calmly.

Hui Kong's expression didn't change: "You mean that you're going to kill me so I am unable to find Junior Apprentice-Brother Hui Ku to get back the sariras?"

"Or are you saying that Junior Apprentice-Brother Hui Ku has already died by your hand, so I am unable to take him in front of Buddha to recite scriptures and atone?"

Lin Feng glanced at him: "Smart alec."

Hui Kong responded: "Please enlighten me."

Lin Feng waved his sleeve: "Hui Ku has indeed already died, but he did not die by my hand. He died together with a cultivator working under Zhu Hongwu."

Hui Ku's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression became serious: "The Marquis of Xuanji, Zhu Hongwu?"

In the past when the Great Zhou Dynasty joined together with many forces to exterminate the Great Thunder Monastery, the Marquis of Xuanji was the commander in chief. Hui Kong is also a disciple of the Great Thunder Monastery, even though he's not as extreme like Hui Ku, he also harbours hatred towards the Marquis of Xuanji.

Lin Feng slightly sneered: "If others leave me alone, I'll leave them alone. The second steward under Zhu Hongwu and the guest elder of the Yu clan were all smashed to bits by me. The child of the Yu main branch dared to step on my disciple, so I took his leg."

"Why do you think I left you behind not killing you and only captured you alive?"

Hui Kong lowered his head saying: "I did not actually offend you or your disciples, I just wanted to ascertain the whereabouts of the sariras."

Lin Feng thought: "Of course it's because the War God Golem is out of juice." But towards Hui Kong he naturally won't say it like that. Hearing Hui Kong's response, Lin Feng nodded slightly: "This is just one of the reasons, the other is because of your junior apprentice-brother, Hui Ku."

Hui Kong looked at Lin Feng a bit surprised. Lin Feng said calmly: "Before Hui Ku passed away, I was right in front of him."

"This Buddhist Thunder Staff was passed to me by him before he died." Lin Feng explained: "But those 24 sariras were destroyed in the Netherworld Blood River beneath the Black Cloud Underground Palace."

Hui Kong's expression paled: "Netherworld Blood River! Do you speak the truth?"

Lin Feng said coolly: "I only ever say things once."

Hui Kong's mind was in a mess. If the sariras really were thrown into the Netherworld Blood River, they would definitely be completely contaminated by the tainted blood and lose all of their buddhist nature.

He collected his mind and said in a low voice: "I was rude, please tell me the details within."

Lin Feng suddenly changed his tone and asked: "Because of the matter of the sariras, you are very discontent with your Junior Apprentice-Brother Hui Ku?"

Hui Kong was slightly surprised, but he still responded very openly saying: "I did indeed commit the sin of anger, but my heart is so, I do not dare to make excuses to hide it."

Lin Feng nodded his head and continued saying: "Do you know what Hui Ku said the most before he died?" He stared at Hui Kong' s eyes and said slowly: "Hui Ku said, he knows that he has betrayed his sect and will definitely go down to hell. He just hates that he cannot see the day when the Zhou Dynasty falls and the blood debt of his sect is avenged."

Hui Kong instantly fell silent.

Fundamentally speaking, Hui Ku and him are the same.

Due to the hatred of his sect being exterminated, Hui Ku went against the prohibition of anger and murder, and even didn't hesitate to refine the sariras of his sect elders into magic items. Just to increase his strength to take revenge against the Zhou Dynasty.

He himself also knows that this is an act of treason, but he was simply unable restrain the rage and hatred in his heart.

This is also Hui Ku's will, no excuses and no need to make excuses.

Lin Feng's sighed with regret saying: "Your Junior Apprentice-Brother Hui Ku may have been extreme, but he fights an eye for an eye. Moreover it's not his own personal vendetta but the blood debt of his sect. Moving forward without being led astray, a tooth for a tooth, I admire people like him."

"Hui Ku knows that you've always been tracking him. He doesn't ask for you forgiveness, he just asks to be at your mercy after revenge is taken. He will also offer back the sariras." Lin Feng said coolly: "Hui Ku had an epiphany before he died, his anger and hatred dispersed and his greatest regret wasn't that he died before he could avenge his sect, but that the sariras were lost in the Netherworld Blood River and he was unable to return them to you."

Hui Kong's expression gradually paled, a trace of agony surfaced in his eyes.

Lin Feng was paying attention to every miniscule change in his expression. Seeing this, he became even more confident in his heart. He hurriedly struck the iron while it was hot: "Hui Ku has always hoped to be able to obtain your forgiveness. The reason he gave that Buddhist Thunder Staff to me is because he hoped that I could return it to you and pass along a message for him. He said that he is destined to enter into the infernal hell to atone, but all of his actions have been for the Great Thunder Monastery. If he had any selfish motives, may the heavens strike him down!"

"The reason I gave the Buddhist Thunder Staff to my disciple before was just temporarily for him to defend himself." Lin Feng said casually: "Since I've enountered you today I'll hand it over to you."

Finishing speaking, Lin Feng handed over the Buddhist Thunder Staff to Hui Kong, but Hui Kong did not accept it. His face was pale and he only muttered to himself: "Junior Apprentice-Brother, you walked the wrong path, you really did walk the wrong path… You were so silly, sigh!"

At this stage, Lin Feng already completely knows that in the past when they were training at the Great Thunder Monastery, Hui Kong's and Hui Ku's relationship must have been extremely close. It's very possible that they were taught by the same master and were apprentice-brothers who lived and ate together.

After the Great Thunder Monastery fell, the two people escaped together. Hui Ku who had a violent and extreme temper refined the sariras of his sect elders as magic items to increase his strength, and due to this, upright and serious natured Hui Kong split with him.

It was precisely because of their close relationship in the past that Hui Kong was so intolerant of Hui Ku doing this kind blasphemous thing like desecrating the remains of his elders, and why he would be so committed to capturing Hui Ku and getting back the sariras.

Making clear of the relations within, Lin Feng decisively made the final attack: "So, the reason you can escape under my hand with your life today, half of the credit goes to that junior apprentice-brother of yours who's been pursued by you the whole time. Take care of yourself, where you go from now on is up to you."

Hui Kong sighed at the sky. Tears fell like rain and he was silent not speaking.

Lin Feng's expression was calm, he stared at him not speaking.

After a long while, Hong Kong's mood finally calmed down. He inhaled a deep breath, looking at Lin Feng and saying: "Thank you for telling me all of these things and undoing the knot in my heart for these past 10 years."

"Junior Apprentice-Brother Hui Ku gave this Buddhist Thunder Staff to you. Since you've already passed it on to your disciple, I naturally won't ask for it. I believe that even Junior Apprentice-Brother Hui Ku will also agree with this decision of mine."

Lin Feng asked calmly: "What will you do when I release you?"

Hui Kong said: "I wish to head towards the Zhou Dynasty's Tianjing City and take a trip to that underground palace to pay my respects to Hui Ku. Then I'll try and enter deep into the underground palace to see if I am lucky enough find a couple of sariras. The odds may be slim, but I will still do my best."

Lin Feng could tell that this monk is the kind of person who keeps his word, every word he spits out is a nail down in the plank, thus he loosened the War God Golem's restraint and released Hui Kong.

Hui Kong brought his palms together: "Before I offended you and your disciples. Thank you for your magnanimity, I am eternally grateful. If luck brings us together again in the future, if there is anything I can do, I am at your disposal."

Lin Feng nodded his head indifferently. Hui Kong chanted a buddhist prayer again and then used the Garuda Windsurfing Technique, disappearing in the distance in an instant.

Watching Hui Kong's distancing figure, Lin Feng exhaled a long breath.

Due to Zhu Yi, he is bound to go against the House of the Marquis of Xuanji and the Great Zhou Dynasty. There is only good and no harm in burying a few more nails for them.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend. If he can make use of him, why wouldn't he?

"Moreover… Hehe!" Lin Feng laughed while taking out a storage bag, this is Hui Kong's storage bag: "The storage bag of an aurous core stage cultivator, there should be some stuff in here."

If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

With Lin Feng's cultivation level, he naturally can't undo the seal left behind on the storage bag by an aurous core stage cultivator.

But it is no match for the True Netherworld Water he has that can purify all mana. He retrieved the Netherworld Bead from Wang Lin. Even though he can't use the Netherworld Bead to fight enemies, it's still very easy for him to draw out some True Netherworld Water to remove the seal Hui Kong left on the storage bag.

Opening the storage bag, he stuck out his head and took a glance. Instantly, Lin Feng twitched his lips.

This Monk Hui Kong seems to walk the path of penance, his storage bag is broke, there really isn't anything good inside.

Besides some miscellaneous items like clothes and money, there are only some medicinal ingredients.

Lin Feng knows absolutely nothing about medicinal ingredients, he could only miserably cross-reference them with the system one by one to determine the species of the medicinal ingredients.

While looking, Lin Feng became ecstatic.

These ingredients are actually all the raw materials for the Great Thunder Revival Pill. With these ingredients and adding the pill formula obtained from Hui Ku, Lin Feng can make the Great Thunder Revival Pill himself.

"Not bad, not bad. Even though it's a bit troublesome, it's not a big deal. Do things yourself to enrich your life." Lin Feng thought happily and continued to inspect the storage bag.

Suddenly, a bronze mirror attracted Lin Feng's attention.

The mirror is one foot in diameter. The mirror frame is intact, but there is a giant hole in the center of the mirror. Although Lin Feng can clearly sense that there is still spiritual energy retained in the bronze mirror.

Lin Feng picked up the bronze mirror and the system notification suddenly rose up beside his ears.

"Host has triggered random side quest, repairing the Universal Mirror."

Lin Feng opened wide his mouth and only closed it after a long while: "Does Lady Fortune smile upon me?"

He still hasn't completed the side quest from the Wind Thunder Talisman before and now he's got another one. Happiness came to suddenly and it truly made Lin Feng a bit surprised.

"You're called the Universal Mirror? That's a pretty grand name." Lin Feng pulled himself together and started to read the quest description.

Random side quest, repairing the Universal Mirror.

Quest Background: The treasure the Universal Mirror has suffered great damage. Collect enough galaxy sand to repair the Universal Mirror.

Quest Time Limit: Three months, if not completed on time, quest is failed.

Lin Feng scratched his head: "They're both three months, but the great intersecting mountain range and the Ancient World Marsh are to the east and west, they are far more than hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from each other? Even with the Black Cloud Flag there's not enough time to reach the two places within three months.

With such distance, he can't travel to the two places even with the Black Cloud Flag. The Black Cloud Flag's spatial shifting ability can only travel short distances. If he flies, the speed is also clearly not enough.

This is still just the time spent on travelling, if he adds in the time to complete the quests and find the items, time is even more tight.

The two quests are both to find items. The items are there and he's not afraid of someone getting there before him and taking them. But if he doesn't complete the quests on time, the side quest rewards issued by the system will definitely be gone.

Yet it just so happens that right now Lin Feng really needs the side quest rewards to accumulate enough trading points to go trade for the dao techniques required to complete his main quest.

Side quests are all randomly issued, if he misses this opportunity he doesn't know when he'll get another chance.

Lin Feng embraces one principle, and that is that one's luck is conserved. Today he had great luck so for a long time in the future he probably won't have such treatment…

"My head hurts." Lin Feng shook his head and once again went through Hui Kong's storage bag. After not having any other gains, he placed his attention back on the pile of ingredients: "Before anything else, find a way to get a pill furnace first and then make a Great Thunder Revival Pill. The longer Xiao Yan's injury drags on, the worse his condition gets."

Lin Feng controlled the Black Cloud Flag and flew hundreds of kilometers before landing on the ground. After asking the way, he flew back up and arrived at an old city in the southeast area of the Great Qin Dynasty. This place is that same as Chuzhou, there is also a massive cultivation materials trading square.

Lin Feng's goal is to find a pill furnace.

Even though there are furnaces in the trading system and they are also all good stuff, the amount of trading points required is too great. Right now Lin Feng desperately needs trading points to trade for dao techniques. He wishes that he could split one point into two to spend, he is truly reluctant to trade for a pill furnace.

Thus he could only come to the city square himself to find one, although Lin Feng was cautious and he brought along Zhu Yi.

Entering into the city square, he instructed Zhu Yi and then the two people split up. Lin Feng wandered around for half a day but didn't find a suitable core furnace.

The complexity of pill furnaces is the highest of all magic items. The creation process involves alchemy, spell formations and other such things. Its creation difficulty is ranked number one in item crafting.

The Great Thunder Revival Pill also isn't an ordinary medicine. Making this kind of high-level pill, a quality pill furnace can greatly increase the success rate and play a big role.

Lin Feng who didn't have any gains sighed. After determining Zhu Yi's position and walking over, he saw Zhu Yi bartering with a wandering cultivator.

Lin Feng took a close look. Zhu Yi was holding a pill furnace in his hand, it looked pitch-black and very normal, only its style was a bit quaint.

But Lin Feng doesn't dare to look down on this pill furnace at the slightest, because it was found by Zhu Yi.

Who is Zhu Yi? The chosen one, the king of luck!

A max blessing of 10, even Xiao Budian and the others who are also main character level cannot compare with him.

This kid is definitely a weapon of mass destruction for finding treasures.

At this time Zhu Yi also saw Lin Feng walk over. He hurriedly greeted him: "Master." At the same time he also quietly used his mana to transmit his voice to Lin Feng: "Master, this pill furnace may look ordinary, but I feel like there is something strange with it. Please make a decision Master."

Lin Feng thought in his mind, good disciple, as long as you feel like something's strange.

But on the surface, Lin Feng only lightly scanned the pill furnace and then didn't pay it any more attention. Zhu Yi also didn't speak anymore and obediently stood behind Lin Feng.

Seeing that Lin Feng is the true customer, that wandering cultivator selling things hurriedly used his silver tongue to recommend his merchandise to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng randomly picked up a white jade jewel box. It is cool to the touch but not cold. The cold aura within flowed continuously and it was always uniform without any change.

Seeing this, the seller instantly introduced with high spirits: "You have good eyes Fellow Daoist. This Energy Sealing Casket is of extraordinary quality and is carved from an entire Energy Sealing Stone. If you put valuable medicinal ingredients within, not the slightly bit of their spiritual energy and medicinal properties will be lost. It truly is an exceptional treasure."

Once they are picked, some spiritual herbs will rapidly lose their spiritual energy and become useless. At this time, with an Energy Sealing Casket, one does not need to fail on the verge of success.

Lin Feng asked indifferently: "How are you selling it?"

"Are you prepared to trade using an item or pills?"

"Do you want Energy Cultivation Pills?" Energy Cultivation Pills are pills Lin Feng obtained from Hui Kong's storage bag. They are rich with spiritual energy and can solidify one's foundation. It helps cultivator practise dao techniques.

The wandering cultivator's eyes instantly lit up. Unless he himself knows alchemy, it is very difficult for a wandering cultivator like him without a sect to obtain pills beneficial to cultivation.

"If it's Energy Cultivation Pills then there's no problem." The wandering cultivation smiled saying: "30 Energy Cultivation Pills and this Energy Sealing Casket is yours."

Energy Cultivation Pills are not easy to make, Hui Kong's storage bag also only has just 50-60. Hearing him actually dare to make an unreasonable demand, Lin Feng didn't get angry. Looking at him, he lightly spit out two words: "Too expensive."

The wandering cultivator scratched his head: "Fellow Daoist, this really is a good thing! Think about it, without an Energy Sealing Casket, if you encounter that kind of spiritual herb that rapidly loses its spiritual energy once picked, won't you cry yourself to sleep?"

Lin Feng said casually: "Since you're selling the Energy Sealing Casket, you're not a herb collector or alchemist. You have absolutely no use in keeping the Energy Sealing Casket. Energy Cultivation Pills are what you truly need the most. I am willing to use pills to trade with you so make sure the price you give me is reliable."

The smile on the wandering cultivator's face froze and he felt distressed in his heart. Originally he saw that Lin Feng was a new face so he made an unreasonable demand, but he didn't think that Lin Feng knows that practise. He bit his teeth and said: "25 Energy Cultivation Pills, I really can't go any lower."

"5." Lin Feng grinned, but he almost made the wandering cultivator jump up: "Are you joking? Are you here to mess with me?"

Seeing him become angered, Lin Feng wasn't worried. He said leisurely: "Just now you said this was carved from an entire Energy Sealing Stone?"

The wandering cultivator's heart jumped. He saw Lin Feng point at the Energy Sealing Casket and say: "You tell me, what's with this seam joined together?"

"Messing around? Who's messing around?" Lin Feng's expression abruptly changed and he had a cold face: "Playing tricks in this city square, what do you think the result will be?"

Laughing helplessly, the wandering cultivator said in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist, please forgive me, I also had no choice. How's about this, 20 Energy Cultivation Pills…" Seeing Lin Feng raise his eyebrows again, he hurriedly changed it and said: "15, 15 Energy Cultivation Pills! I really can't go any lower or else I'll make a loss!"

"10! If you agree than we'll trade right now, or else let's go over to the city square administration to have a good talk." Lin Feng laughed coldly saying.

The wandering cultivator pulled a long face and didn't pick up the conversation. His eyes turned around for a long while and he suddenly saw the pill furnace that Zhu Yi had his eyes on before. He hurriedly said: "15 Energy Cultivation Pills and I'll throw in this pill furnace for you. Your protege had his eyes on it just now."

"Nice, I've really got amazing luck today." Lin Feng secretly made a victory sign. On the surface he put on airs and then successfully got the pill furnace.

Heading out of the city square, Zhu Yi looked like he wanted to say something. Lin Feng glanced at him and asked: "Do you feel like my behaviour of bartering with that child for a few mere Energy Cultivation Pills was very strange?"

Zhu Yi pressed his lips together and answered: "I do indeed have uncertainty in my heart, please enlighten me Master."

Lin Feng smiled leisurely: "In the end it comes down to money, but you must not look down on money."

Zhu Yi responded saying: "I may have studied the classical scriptures, but I am not a pedantic bookworm who does not speak of profit. But I just feel like haggling over a bit of small profit is a bit difficult to understand."

Lin Feng looked at him and said seriously: "Money actually harbours a powerful conception of power of invincibility and wards off evil."

"Think about it, in the entire world, the people who pray for money everyday far surpasses the number of people who pray to gods and buddhas."

"The word money runs through all of humanity and is current in the entire greater realm. Basically where there are people there is money."

"The common will and demand of billions of people gathered together, what a massive force that is. Have you ever thought of all this?" Lin Feng lightly waved his sleeve and said coolly: "There are principles everywhere in the world, big and small, this is not just random talk."

Zhu Yi was stupefied by Lin Feng's speech. Only after a long while did he return to his senses. He bowed saying: "As Master teaches, I was shallow before."

Lin Feng nodded his head in a composed manner and walked forward in satisfaction. Zhu Yi hurriedly followed behind him.

Bringing Zhu Yi back to their temporary accommodation, Lin Feng immediately took out the pill furnace and started to ponder about what exactly this treasure is.

If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Report chapter

Lin Feng closely examined the pill furnace before him. Three feet, a pointed top, completely black and patterns faintly engraved on the body. It's just that right now the pill furnace is covered in dust and dirt, clearly it hasn't been used for a long time.

Lin Feng poured in his mana. The pill furnace didn't have any reaction. He put in some ingredients and there was still no movement.

"It really is weird." Lin Feng scratched his head. No wonder this pill furnace looks so old and has no signs of being used for a long time. It looks entirely like a piece of scrap without any spirituality.

But Lin Feng doesn't plan on second-guessing Zhu Yi's luck. He entered into the system, opening up the inventory list and checking every item one by one.

The strange patterns on the body of the furnace can be used as an important identification mark.

Hard work pays off. Lin Feng found a pill furnace at virtually the bottom of the inventory list, its characteristics are extremely similar to the one in his hands.

Celestial Heart Flame Furnace, made using celestial meteoric iron. It creates heart flames on its own, adding a strong firepower and thus can greatly increase the success rate of alchemy.

Required trading points… 3000!

Lin Feng slapped his forehead and wished that he could immediately go over to the room next door to hug and kiss Zhu Yi.

3000 trading points, even if you sell him he can't scrape together so many trading points.

From the initiation of the system until now, even including the novice gift, the total sum of trading points that Lin Feng has accumulated and obtained is only just 2800 points.

The 700 trading points that Lin Feng currently has on his hands is only enough to buy a leg of this Celestial Heart Flame Furnace.

"Not bad, not bad at all!" Lin Feng beamed with joy, but then had doubt in his heart.

Since this pill furnace is so good, why did no one discover it?

One or two people couldn't discover the secrets of the pill furnace, but everybody who handled it couldn't notice?

Carrying this doubt, Lin Feng closely checked the Celestial Heart Flame Furnace's data. He noticed a caption within: "Only the seven great true flames can exert the Celestial Heart Flame Furnace's use to its limit."

Lin Feng blinked his eyes and he felt slightly bitter in his mouth. He finally understands why other people couldn't discover the worth of this pill furnace.

The seven great true flames, the apex of all fire in this world. Every kind can limitlessly increase its power. They are endlessly powerful with apocalyptic power, how can their embers be that easy to obtain?

Lin Feng massaged his throbbing temples on both sides and told himself to calm down. Word by word he pondered on the information of the Celestial Heart Flame Furnace.

"Exert to the limit… In other words, spiritual flames on a slightly lower level than the seven great true flames can also make this pill furnace work, but they can't exert its effect to the limit." Lin Feng figured things out a bit: "The higher grade the spiritual flame, the more distinct the effect is. If the spiritual flame's level is too low, it will be unable to drive this pill furnace."

Thinking here, Lin Feng's heart settled down.

The Fury Flames of Acala is recognized as a high level spiritual flame second only to the seven great true flames.

Lin Feng immediately lay down the 24 Heaven Arhat Formation and then used the same method as before, forming Fury Flames of Acala with the three blazing arhats as the core.

The little milky white ember landed in the Celestial Heart Flame Furnace and a change instantly occurred to the pill furnace.

Just as though a slumbering giant had finally awoken.

Around the milky white Fury Flames of Acala, a circle of crimson red flames lit up around it. It flickered around as if a strongly beating heart.

Following the beating of this "heart", fiery red markings surfaced on the inner walls of the pill furnace.

At this time, the Celestial Heart Flame Furnace that was originally only the size of a palm rapidly grew bigger. Only until it reached a height of two meters and a diameter of also nearly two meters did it stop and firmly land on the ground An astounding mana fluctuation radiated from within it.

Lin Feng smiled: "That crimson red flame like a heart should be the so-called heart flame. Hm… It is truly extraordinary. The power of incineration within the flame is not much different even compared to the Fury Flames of Acala."

With cultivators adept in alchemy, the dao techniques they practise are usually all fire class dao techniques. They need to use their own mana flames and convert it into alchemy flames to make pills.

Lin Feng practises the Art of Acala so he has his mana alchemy flames, but before now he has never made pills before so he is rather nervous in his heart.

Placing the materials for making the Great Thunder Revival Pill in the pill furnace, Lin Feng started to carefully control the alchemy flame.

Sometimes you've got to admit that learning something is indeed very particular about talent.

Lin Feng worked himself to death and fiddled around for half a day. In the end when he opened the furnace to retrieve the pill, what appeared before him was just a pile of char.

"Was the fire too strong? Or were the ingredients not matched right?" Lin Feng grabbed his head in distress. The materials are still very abundant, but he can't practise like this either.

After furrowing his brow and thinking for a moment, a light bulb suddenly lit up in his head.

"You guys all come to my room, carry your eldest apprentice-brother with you guys." Lin Feng calmly transmitted his voice to Zhu Yi and co. next door. Afterwards he sat cross-legged, quietly awaiting the arrival of his disciples.

Xiao Budian pushed open the door and entered first. He looked at Lin Feng with question marks all over his forehead along with the Celestial Heart Flame Furnace in Lin Feng's room that was about to poke the ceiling.

Behind him, one at the front and one at the back, Zhu Yi and Wang Lin carried a stretcher and walked into the room. Xiao Yan was lying on the stretcher, his face was pale but his mood was pretty good.

"Greetings Master." The four people said together. Besides Xiao Yan who was lying down and couldn't move, the other three people all bowed and saluted him.

Lin Feng lightly nodded his head and then said: "You all see this pill furnace here?"

The four people nodded their heads together. Zhu Yi asked: "Master, this is that pill furnace from the city square before?"

Lin Feng smiled slightly: "The name of this furnace is the Celestial Heart Flame Furnace. It's a pity that it was a bright pearl covered in dust before. Now I have reactivated it and let it show its true form."

Zhu Yi clicked his tongue in wonder: "This really is a wondrous item."

At the side Xiao Budian asked: "Master, you called us over to look at this pill furnace?"

Lin Feng shook his head and answered: "Not at all, the reason I called you guys over is to test you guys."

Test us?

The four people all looked at each other. On the stretcher, Xiao Yan said softly: "What test is there, please instruct us Master."

Lin Feng pointed at the Celestial Heart Flame Furnace and said casually: "To heal Little Yan's injury, I am currently making a type of pill, but I purposely made mistake in a couple of places. Making it as it is right now, it is doomed to fail."

"Right now I will test you guys to see if you guys have the spirit or gift for alchemy, and if you guys can pick the the mistakes that I purposely left behind." Lin Feng said with a poker face and handed the pill formula for the Great Thunder Revival Pill over to them. He also seriously explained the function of the Celestial Heart Flame Furnace.

"Am I too shameless? I think I'm just average…" Thoughts turned in Lin Feng's mind, but his face still had a sanctimonious appearance. He said lightly: "You guys can discuss between yourselves, I am listening at the side. I know in my heart whoever proposes a correct idea."

The four people exchanged gazes and then gathered together beside Xiao Yan's stretcher. They started discussing with their heads touched together.

Lin Feng secretly perked his ears listening to the content of their discussion and then compared it with his own views. He had quite the gain.

He has to say that the system's judgement is very accurate. Among the four people, Xiao Yan was the fastest to get the hang of alchemy and has the deepest understanding. In regards to the mistakes in Lin Feng's original alchemical procedure, Xiao Yan found them the fastest and he also found the most.

As for whether or not they're accurate, that remains to be verified.

In the end, the other three people also chose Xiao Yan to make the summary.

"… The Sky Bone Herb cannot be placed entirely into the pill furnace to be refined, it has to first be ground into powder; the Frost Dew and the Jadefire Phosphorus Herb need to be mixed together first before being thrown into the pill furnace to be refined, they cannot be thrown in separately." Xiao Yan concluded. At the end, after hesitating for a moment he continued saying: "Also, I think the time for opening the furnace should cut short by one hour, but I am not certain about this point."

Lin Feng's demeanor was quiet and calm. After listening to Xiao Yan finish speaking everything, he lifted his head asking the other three people: "Do you guys still have anything else to add?"

The other three people all shook their heads so Lin Feng smiled saying: "You're done speaking, not going to change anything more?"

Xiao Yan bit his teeth: "No."

Lin Feng stood up and said with a smile: "I won't make any comments, we'll let reality speak for itself. I will use you guys' method to make this batch of pills and see what the result is in the end." Finishing speaking, he did as Xiao Yan said, treating the ingredients and starting to make the pill.

Lin Feng controlled the furnace flame, the four disciples also closely watched the pill furnace. Xiao Yan was especially nervous and his palms were even starting to sweat a bit.

The four people didn't know that Lin Feng was actually even more nervous than them. He stared anxiously at the pill furnace: "Ya little kid, you better be right."

In the Celestial Heart Flame Furnace, the Fury Flames of Acala and the pill furnace heart flames burned together. Lin Feng carefully controlled the power of the fire. When the time arrived he drew his mana and withdrew the Fury Flames of Acala.

With the disappearance of the Fury Flames of Acala, the pill furnace heart flames also instantly extinguished with it.

Opening the pill furnace, the scent of sandalwood immediately greeted the nostrils. Golden buddhist light surged in the furnace and inside of the grey furnace ashes quietly lay a whole eight red pills the size of a dragon eye.

Inside of the room, master and disciple sucked their noses together. Just smelling this medicinal fragrance made their entire bodies feel well.

Xiao Yan inhaled a breath of medicinal fragrance. It was wrapped up by his own mana and spiritual energy and then circulated in his body. Where he was injured there was actually a numb feeling and the injury even seemed to be slowly healing.

"Success!" Lin Feng relaxed his mind: "The Great Thunder Revival Pill, reviving the dead and regenerating limbs. It has a miraculous effect in healing the damaged body, it is true to its name."

Xiao Yan swallowed one Great Thunder Revival Pill and diligently circulated his mana to dissolve and guide the medicine to heal his injuries.

Seeing Xiao Yan gradually reach a meditative state and that the pill was already starting to take effect, Lin Feng relaxed his heart.

He turned his head towards Xiao Budian and asked: "Where's that black metal greatsword your eldest apprentice-brother obtained? Bring it over for me to see."

Xiao Budian carried over the black metal greatsword. Lin Feng grabbed the sword handle and immediately felt his hand sink down. Lin Feng was secretly surprised: "What material is this made of? It's actually this heavy." Even stranger is that once the black metal greatsword was in his hand, Lin Feng's mana circulation slowed down.

Lin Feng was greatly surprised: "It truly does have something special about it." Thinking for a moment, he separated a sliver of his consciousness attempting to probe the black metal greatsword.

What entered into his eyes was a pitch-black void, quiet and soundless but making people's hearts jump.

A silent supreme fear and supreme horror filled Lin Feng's mind, as if he was in the lowest level of purgatory.

"Boom!"

His vision was completely filled by a purple-blue sea of fire. The purple-blue demon fire that suddenly appeared was like an unparalleled tyrant who was suddenly roused from his sleep, releasing a terrifying roar.

The void was torn into broken fragments. The air seemed to be trembling without stop, releasing crackling sounds of explosions.

The purple fire burned strongly, flickering with an ominous dark blue light. A powerful will was harbored within it, merciless slaughter completely crushed the wills of all surrounding life!

Blue light flickered in the sea of fire, five words of light faintly surfaced and pulsed.

Tyrant Sword of Radiant Evil!

There was an instant where Lin Feng felt that even his mind had completely stopped. The purple demon fire roared and surged towards him, wanting to destroy and devour not only this sliver of consciousness, but also Lin Feng as a whole.

Lin Feng was startled and he hurriedly retracted his mind and mana. Opening his eyes, the black metal greatsword grasped in his hand looked completely ordinary, as if the terrifying scene before was just an illusion.

"Purple-blue fire, Tyrant Sword of Radiant Evil… Purple-blue fire." Lin Feng searched in the system for a moment and then involuntarily gasped. He twisted his head looking towards Xiao Yan who was still meditating and absorbing the medical effect of the Great Thunder Revival Pill.

This little guy truly is a main character level little beast.

Radiant Evil of Purgatory, ranked as one of the seven great true flames of the world. It originates from the Radiant Evil True Flame in Purgatory and is endlessly powerful.

Besides burning fiercely and endlessly, the seven great true flames also have a myriad of magical effects. But in terms of pure destructive power, the Radiant Evil of Purgatory can be called the king of all flames, even the other six great true flames need to give it a wide berth!

This is an apocalyptic supreme demon fire, even the laws of the universe are wary of it and suppressed it at the lowest level of hell. It can not easily surface in the world.

Lin Feng shook his head and laughed helplessly in his heart: "Man, this is probably Xiao Yan's fated treasure? That's why I say I also want to get a marriage annulment…"

When Xiao Yan absorbed all of the medicine and woke up from his meditative state, Lin Feng handed the Tyrant Sword of Radiant Evil over to Xiao Yan and told him the information of the Radiant Evil of Purgatory along with it.

Xiao Yan was stupefied from listening. Zhu Yi and the other two also had their mouths wide open, blankly staring at the completely unassuming and bulky looking black metal greatsword in Xiao Yan's hand.

"Haha, jackpot!" Xiao Yan who reacted over was overjoyed, the excitement in his heart was written all over his face.

Xiao Budian shouted: "Eldest Apprentice-Brother, me and Second Apprentice-Brother both pitched in for the pills to buy the sword, we've also go a share in the thing!"

Xiao Yan glared at him: "I'll return your pills to you tomorrow."

Xiao Budian made a ruckus in discontent, Wang Lin had a face of admiration and a radiant light also flickered in Zhu Yi's eyes.

At the side, Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yan who was in high spirits at the side, he thought: "Looks like this kid really has a connection with fire. The king of fire, maybe this is his path of fate? If that's so, the other six true flames…"

Thinking here, Lin Feng also drooled in his heart. He hurriedly pulled himself together and said to Xiao Yan: "Little Yan, I've already heard the situation from your junior apprentice-brothers about you triggering the power in the sword before. At the moment it looks like your current cultivation level is not yet sufficient to control this demon sword."

Xiao Yan's face was dejected and he nodded his head. This is the reality, he has to accept it.

Lin Feng continued saying: "This is your destined good fortune, continue to carry this sword with you. Consider it as for self-defense, although unless absolutely necessary do not carelessly use it." Pausing for a moment, Lin Feng's expression became serious: "The Radiant Evil of Purgatory is ranked as one of the seven great true flames. Its domineering power knows no bounds and it is very profound, it can even be considered a form of life that possesses self-awareness."

"Your cultivation level has yet to reach a sufficient level. By blindly controlling the true flame, the final result could very likely be not the person controlling the flame, but the flame controlling the person, turning you into a fire slave who has lost his self conscious. You must beware!"

Xiao Yan straightened his expression and said respectfully: "As Master teaches."

Lin Feng nodded his head and observed Xiao Yan's complexion. Even though it was still a bit pale from loss of blood and qi, all of his injuries have amazingly already fully healed. He just has to rest for a few days and he can immediately recover back to normal. The Great Thunder Revival Pill's healing effect towards bodily injuries truly lives up to its name.

"Xiao Yan's injury has already recovered, the matter of completing the side quests can also be brought forward. Earning the rewards to exchange for dao techniques and then completing the main quest." Lin Feng pondered, but how can he complete both of the two side quests within the allotted time?

Does he have to make a choice?

Lin Feng looked at his four disciples who were playing together and hanging around the Tyrant Sword of Radiant Evil. A thought suddenly appeared in his heart.

"I remember that there are still some explanations for the disciple system that I haven't closely looked at yet." Lin Feng hurriedly entered into the disciple system.

Reading the couple of explanations for the disciple system one by one, Lin Feng instantly laughed when he saw one of them.

When the master has something to do, the disciple does the work.

The host's disciples can take the place of the host to complete the side quests issued by the system. The quest time-limit and conditions do not change. When the quest is successfully completed, the host will obtain the quest rewards as normal.

Lin Feng took out the Flowing Wind Sigil and said smilingly towards Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and Xiao Budian: "Even though you guys suffered a bit, you three did well this time. You guys already have the ability to stand on your own, but you guys still require training."

"I just so happen to have something for you guys to go do, just consider it as training."

Lin Feng handed the Flowing Wind Sigil over to Zhu Yi: "This Flowing Wind Sigil can let you guys ride on the wind. 5000 kilometers west from here there is a great intersecting mountain range. At the eastern foothill of the mountain range there is a lake called the Wind Thunder Sea."

"There is a Thunder Element Sigil that is a pair with this Flowing Wind Sigil. I discovered that the Thunder Element Sigil is right in the Wind Thunder Sea in the great intersecting mountain range." Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and Xiao Budian: "You three go together and retrieve that Thunder Element Sigil. Take care of each other on the road and be alert. If you guys can't find the sigil don't feel dejected, take care of safety."

Xiao Yan and the other two looked at each other, a light of excitement was revealed in all of their eyes.

Before Lin Feng wasn't around and they took the liberty of leaving Mount Heng and going to Chuzhou City. In the end they nearly suffered big time.

But young people are always full of drive. Suffering once is not enough to wear away their courage and daring spirits. Instead the three people were all filled with strength, determined that this time they will definitely succeed splendidly.

The road may be far and they don't have the Black Cloud Flag, but with the Flowing Wind Sigil as transportation, at the very least the journey won't be a problem.

Lin Feng also respectively handed the storage bags of Hui Kong, Hui Ku and Elder Vulture over to the three of them. With the storage bag that has opened up an independent space, it is easy for Xiao Yan to carry the Tyrant Sword of Radiant Evil again.

When he wants to train himself he can travel while carrying the big sword. When he doesn't want to carry it anymore he can directly throw it into the storage bag. Due to being in an independent space, no weight can be felt at all so he doesn't need to miserably carry it around the whole time anymore.

Sending away Xiao Yan and the other two, Lin Feng turned around looking towards Wang Lin beside him.

Wang Lin was also eagerly staring at his master.

Lin Feng smiled: "Wang Lin, you just entered under my teaching. For this period of time follow beside me and learn dao techniques. Right now I also have a place to go so you also have the opportunity to hone yourself by following me."

Finishing speaking, Lin Feng waved the Black Cloud Flag. He wrapped up himself and Wang Lin and flew towards the Ancient Word Marsh in the far east.

Report chapter

The Ancient World Marsh is in the southeast area of the continent. Originally it was an undeveloped wilderness, the surrounding thousands of kilometers were all marshland. All kinds of monsters and poisonous plants were spread out all across it. Dense clouds darkened the skies of the marsh and not a single ray of sunlight shone upon it all year round. Yet, the traces of various cultivators regularly appeared in this kind of place, collecting herbs for alchemy or capturing monsters to control or refine. For cultivators, the Ancient World Marsh is undoubtedly a god gifted natural treasure house. It truly is endless and inexhaustible, those with good luck might even encounter an unexpected surprise.

Although, the Ancient World Marsh is truly too vast. So many people are like a drop in the ocean, even when there are rare encounters things often remain peaceful.

The inside of the marsh is filled with miasma that lingers all year round. It has already settled in for over 10000 years of time, severely disturbing the spiritual energy flow here. It is a hundred times more complicated than the Black Cloud Underground Palace suppressing the Netherworld Blood River underground.

Don't mention foundation establishment stage and aurous core stage cultivators, even if a nascent soul stage old monster came in it would still be very difficult for him to discover the tracks of others.

It's precisely because of this that Lin Feng dares to swagger on into the marsh.

Afterall, strictly speaking the Ancient World Marsh belongs to the Great Zhou Dynasty's territory.

Lin Feng just took out the House of the Marquis of Xuanji's second steward and then is now barging into their backyard. Without the Ancient World Marsh's special topography, he can just wait to be hunted down.

But this kind of complex topography has undoubtedly also greatly increased Lin Feng's difficulty of finding the galactic sand. Blindly looking for it is no different from from looking for a needle in the sea. (TL: Chinese version of looking for needle in a haystack, the Chinese have it much harder,)

"The system only mentioned that the Ancient World Marsh produces galactic sand, but it didn't have the specific location. How should I look for it?" Lin Feng controlled the Black Cloud Flag and descended from the sky.

What entered the eyes was all swamp and quagmire. Some pulsed with bubbles while some looked ordinary, but they were actually even more dangerous. Unsuspecting people who set their foot down don't need to think of coming back up anymore.

Lin Feng carefully distinguished the area and landed on a relatively dry piece of land. He stared at the thousand kilometer marshland before him and also couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

Wang Lin's expression was also down, he asked: "Master, how should we search for the galactic sand?"

"I also want to know." Lin Feng laughed helplessly in his heart, but on the surface he didn't reveal any signs. He said calm and composed "Searching for the galactic sand is but a small matter. What's more important about this trip is to train you well."

Lin Feng turned his head looking at Wang Lin. He said slowly: "You should also know that your bone root and talent are not outstanding."

Wang Lin lowered his head. His master's words have already shown consideration for his pride. He also knows that his bone root is far more than not outstanding, it's practically terrible, even worse than a regular person.

That's why since entering under Lin Feng's teaching, Wang Lin has always been training with great diligence. Under the help of the Netherworld Bead he has had a certain degree of success, but compared to the speed of Xiao Yan and the other two who virtually have a new look everyday, his improvement is virtually small enough to be negligible.

Being apprentice-brothers with these three monsters, Wang Lin's pressure is even great than when he was in the Mount Heng School. Even with his unwavering mind, his confidence was dealt a big blow. He could only work even harder.

Lin Feng said: "It is precisely because of this that I want you to receive even more polishing and training."

"You have very good potential. You are a good piece of jade, but you need even more polishing than the average person to be able to let you glow with amazing splendor. Maybe all of this polishing will make you suffer a lot." Lin Feng said word by word: "I believe that you will ultimately succeed."

Wang Lin's heart warmed and he nodded his head: "I will definitely work hard, I will not disappoint Master's expectations."

Lin Feng nodded his head in contentment. He pointed at the endless marshland before them: "This Ancient World Marsh is your first training location. No doubt looking for galactic sand here is beset with difficulties, but you must remember that galactic sand is just an incidental goal. The key is that you must learn from the experience and hone yourself."

"Your other three apprentice-brothers have been with me for a long time already. They have the ability to protect themselves so I let them out to train. At the moment your strength is insufficient, so this time I am following beside you to protect you." Lin Feng continued saying: "Training is not getting yourself killed. If there really is danger I will naturally come forward, but other matters, including searching for galactic sand all have to be dealt with by yourself. Only like this can their be a training effect."

"Do you understand?"

Wang Lin bowed saying: "I understand, rest assured Master."

Successfully bamboozling Wang Lin, Lin Feng's faces revealed a pleased smile.

The Wang Lin of now may be far from amounting to anything and searching for galactic sand in this vast marshland mainly still depends on Lin Feng himself, but he believes that Wang Lin's blessing of 8 will also be great help.

At the very least it won't let him return empty handed, right?

Not to mention his words just now were not just for show. Compared to the other three Wang Lin is limited by his bone root of only 5. The initial stage of his cultivation will be extremely difficult. Even though he has a will of 10 to support himself, as his master Lin Feng also has to regularly encourage him.

This is beneficial to deepening the relationship between the master and disciple and at the same time building up his glorious image in his disciple's heart.

Thus, the method of searching became Wang Lin carefully scouting out the path in front step by step while Lin Feng followed behind pretending to be profound.

But Lin Feng wasn't completely idle either. The spiritual energy in the marshland may be chaotic, but he can still vaguely sense it in close distances.

"Hm? This mana fluctuation… A foundation establishment stage cultivator?" While walking, Lin Feng suddenly sensed a strong mana fluctuation right nearby him.

After having seen nascent soul stage old monsters and aurous core stage cultivators, foundation establishment stage cultivators can no longer attract Lin Feng' attention. Even though compared to them, Lin Feng who is currently only at the great circle of perfection of the qi disciple stage is still greatly behind in terms of mana and it is the difference between the river and the sea.

But with Lin Feng's current strength, the majority of foundation establishment stage cultivators really aren't anything to him. Unless the person also possesses a powerful magic item or trump card.

"Besides one foundation establishment stage cultivator there are also a couple of qi disciple stages."

Quietly sensing for a moment, Lin Feng had a good idea in his heart. He secretly transmitted his voice to Wang Lin: "Little Lin, another few hundred meters forward and you will encounter a foundation establishment stage cultivator and a couple of qi disciple stage cultivators. I will not appear, if something happens you deal with it yourself."

"Communicating and interacting with others is also a form of training."

Hearing this Wang Lin nodded his head.

Lin Feng slowed down his speed and became increasingly further from Wang Lin. Miasma is heavy in the marsh and heavily affects the vision. If Lin Feng doesn't use his mana, with the concealment of the system there isn't anyone who can discover him from far away.

Both sides have already gotten very close. The fog spread apart revealing the figures of four people.

The one who attracted Lin Feng's attention first was definitely the linen-robed middle-aged man amongst them, because he is the foundation establishment stage cultivator that Lin Feng sensed before.

This person is tall and skinny, he's practically like a bamboo pole propping up the linen robe.

In addition there are also two youths wearing tight uniforms and they both have qi disciple stage cultivation level. Them two and that linen-robed middle aged man are gathered around a fine-clothed youth.

The fine-clothed youth may only have qi disciple stage cultivation level, but he is clearly the leader of the group. Looking at his demeanor, Lin Feng knows that this kid is a legendary X second generation. That linen-robed middle-aged man should be sent by his family to protect him. (TL: The Chinese call the children of someone with a special characteristic the X second generation. So a rich kid would be a rich second generation, the child of a government official is a government official second generation and you get the point. Of course, this is just direct translation. Although this term is more commonly used as a derogatory term describing kids who abuse their status or their parent's power.)

Right now the fine-clothed youth had a stumped expression: "If I'd known earlier that the Ancient World Marsh is so boring I wouldn't have come in."

One of the followers behind him smiled kissing up to him: "Young Master, the reason we came in this time is mainly to earn merits."

The fine-clothed youth said impatiently: "I know, do I need you to tell me? 3000 elite Shenwu Soldiers coming in to capture rebels. So many people to split merits but there are only so many rebels. How much can I get?"

"3000 Shenwu Soldiers, capturing rebels?" Lin Feng who was hidden far away heard their conversation and a thought appeared in his mind: "Looks like there were people resisting against the Great Zhou Dynasty's rule, and after they failed they escaped into the Ancient World Marsh, hoping to use the natural defense of the marsh to evade their pursuers.

The linen-robed middle-aged man's skinny face revealed a light smile: "Young Master Xue, there may be a lot of people who have entered this time, but the Ancient World Marsh's terrain is inherently limited. The number of people who can benefit are after all the minority."

Towards the linen-robed middle-aged man, the fine-clothed youth Xue Chao still maintained a degree of respect. He nodded his head: "Mister Ma speaks the truth." (TL: The Ma of this guy's name is the same character for linen.)

Mister Ma continued saying: "Moreover there are also their families and children who followed those rebels into the Ancient World Marsh this time. These people are very easy to capture, they're virtually free merits."

Xue Chao felt reinvigorated: "Exactly so."

They were using mana to transmit their voices the whole time, but they didn't know that everything was heard by Lin Feng who was at the side. Only after finishing their chat did they have the interest to go in front of Wang Lin and get a look of him.

Wang Lin brought his fists together: "My name is Wang Lin, greetings seniors."

"Qi disciple level 2 only?" Xue Chao rolled his eyes and turned his head not even looking at Wang Lin. Mister Ma who was as skinny as a bamboo pole also didn't have the interest to speak. One of the youths in a tight uniform smiled asking: "You dare to enter into the Ancient World Marsh with your mere cultivation level of qi disciple level 2, you've got big balls."

Wang Lin answered with grace: "I came here to train under my master's orders. I am looking for something called galactic sand. Have any of you heard of this item before? If you can tell my I will be deeply grateful."

Just finishing speaking, Wang Lin noticed in astoundment that the expressions of the four people across from him all changed. Their eyes stared straight at him.

The tight-uniformed youth who questioned him before continued asking: "You're looking for galactic sand?"

Seeing this, Lin Feng who was in the shadows slightly furrowed his brows. Wang Lin also felt that something was a bit off. He carefully responded: "That's right."

Hearing this, that fine-clothed youth Xue Chao waved his hand.

"Take this person down first!"

"You're looking for galactic sand?"

"That's right."

Hearing Wang Lin answer like so, Xue Chao waved his hand without demur: "Capture this kid first."

Wang Lin's heart sank. He never could have thought that the opposite party would want to do him harm after just saying two lines.

Could it be that these people are also searching for galactic sand?

Wang Lin was baffled, but he didn't have the spare time to dwell on it. A tight-uniformed youth behind Xue Chao was already heading towards him.

He released his mana fluctuations without any concealment. Even Wang Lin can determine that this is an enemy he is entirely unable to beat.

Qi disciple level 8.

10 of Wang Lin who is at qi disciple level 2 aren't even a match for a qi disciple level 8 cultivator. The gap in cultivation level between the two parties is honestly too great.

Seeing Lin Feng not have any movement behind him, Wang Lin thought: "Does Master want to test me?"

Wang Lin pulled himself together and looked calmly at the tight-uniformed youth walk over with a careless face. He clearly also doesn't think that a little qi disciple level 2 cultivator can pose a threat to him.

This person's attitude instead aroused the fighting spirit in Wang Lin's heart: "Whether or not I can beat him is one thing, having the courage to fight is another."

Thinking here, Wang Lin kept calm and quietly watched the opponent draw near.

Seeing Wang Lin appear as if to be scared dumb and not moving at all, the tight-uniformed youth laughed saying: "If you're smart you won't need to suffer."

Finishing speaking, he extended his hand and grabbed at the air. His mana turned into an invisible big hand, shadowing over Wang Lin.

In an instant, the surrounding air around Wang Lin's body all seemed to have frozen, crushing together towards Wang Lin and making it difficult for him to breath.

But Wang Lin was not scared and was instead delighted, because he has seen that his opponent is completely unconcerned with him. He didn't even use any spells with this grab, he just simply used his own mana to capture Wang Lin.

His movements are so carefree that there are openings and weak points everywhere over his body.

Wang Lin quietly inhaled a deep breath and still did not move recklessly. He silently awaited the enemy's invisible big hand formed by mana and watched as it already arrived in front of him.

The tight-uniformed youth relaxed his mind even more which makes sense. Don't mention that he has foundation establishment stage Mister Ma holding the line on his side, even without him a mere qi disciple level 2 kid can only obediently submit before him.

But right at this instant when his attitude was the most relaxed and careless, Wang Lin suddenly moved.

Right when the giant mana hand was about to grab him, Wang Lin suddenly stepped forward and extended his arms.

Wang Lin's left hand formed a spell sign while his right index finger pointed out, directed straight at the tight-uniformed youth.

The tight-uniformed youth was stunned and he saw an extremely thin sliver of black air shoot out from Wang Lin's right index finger, straightening into a thread and shooting towards him.

This black thread was like a knife cutting through tofu, easily piercing through the giant invisible hand formed by the tight-uniformed youth's mana. The condensed mana did not cause any obstruction to the black thread and it let the black thread pass through without any resistance.

In the time that this tight-uniformed youth was slightly dazed, this black thread had already arrived in front of him.

Seeing this, Lin Feng who was in the back immediately started to laugh silently.

The reason he purposely didn't appear is indeed because he wants to observe Wang Lin's overall performance when encountering trouble.

The result made Lin Feng extremely pleased.

The opposite party suddenly turned hostile and Wang Lin was surprised but did not fall into a panic. Facing an opponent much more powerful than himself, he calmly seized the opportunity and suddenly attacked right when the enemy was the least vigilant.

Finger of Hades, a skill derived from the Netherworld Nirvana Manual. After Lin Feng taught it to him Wang Lin has clearly also practised it diligently.

Pointing with his finger, the mana mixed with the aura of the True Netherworld Water condenses into a thread that is virtually capable of destroying anything. The opponent's qi disciple level 8 mana cultivation level may be greatly superior to Wang Lin, but the True Netherworld Water performed its special effect of purifying the mana of others and directly pierced through the opponent's giant mana hand.

Looking at the tight-uniformed youth's stunned face, Wang Lin's heart quivered. Although his reaction was calm, this is after all his first time fighting with someone.

Thinking of the result that he could possibly kill this person, Wang Lin couldn't help but slightly hesitate.

With just this slight hesitation, the black thread formed by the mana of the Finger of Hades instantly trembled and became not so stable.

Lin Feng wrinkled his forehead and called out crap in his heart.

While in the opposing group, Mister Ma's eyebrows shook and he relaxed his heart.

Sure enough, the black thread slightly quivered and its speed slowed down a bit.

The tight-uniformed youth had already reacted over and just barely crooked his head, dodging Wang Lin's Finger of Hades.

Xue Chao and his other follower were dazed for a moment and their faces revealed an expression of interest. Evidently they also didn't think that the tight-uniformed youth would nearly screw up.

Mister Ma's gaze fell upon Wang Lin.

He is after all a foundation establishment stage cultivator, his sensitivity towards mana fluctuations is far superior to qi disciple stage cultivators. Even though at first he also didn't think that Wang Lin had the balls to resist, but right when Wang Lin moved he already perceived it.

Mister Ma also didn't think that Wang Lin's Finger of Hades spell would actually be so domineering. No matter how careless that tight-uniformed youth was, he ultimately has a cultivation level of qi disciple level 8. He is far greater than Wang Lin, who would have that he would have his defense directly broken by Wang Lin.

The difference in level between the two people is honestly too great. Besides the tight-uniformed youth's carelessness, the subtleties and dominance of Wang Lin's spell was also an important factor in making up for this..

Mister Ma started to become interested in Wang Lin.

On the other hand, Lin Feng sighed and thought: "Even though he's destined to mature into decisive main character, this is after all his first time fighting with someone. It's impossible for him to be as cold-blooded as a machine."

Even though he evaded Wang Lin's Finger of Hades, the tight-uniformed youth still felt embarrassed. His entire face instantly turned red and he glared at Wang Lin. He was truly angered by Wang Lin.

The tight-uniformed youth clapped his hands together. The mist in the air rapidly gathered towards him, turning into a savage water dragon in front of his chest and then clawing towards Wang Lin.

Right now Wang Lin was also regretful in his heart. His momentaneous hesitation resulted in him not beating the snake to death, and now the snake is about to bite back.

"Show no mercy when you attack, attack not when you show mercy. If I fight again in the future I must use my full power, I absolutely cannot give the enemy the chance to retaliate.

Wang Lin's face was dark and he made up his mind.

Facing the enemy's fierce spell, Wang Lin was not fearful. His hands formed a spell sign and his mind communicated with the Netherworld Bead.

Even with all of the treasures in Lin Feng's hands, there isn't a single won that can match the wonders of the Netherworld Bead. Of all of the treasures that he has come in contact with, maybe only the Tyrant Sword of Radiant Evil can battle it. But this item has been greatly damaged and a lot of its power cannot be unleashed.

Moreover, with Wang Lin's current cultivation level he cannot exert even 1/10000s of the Netherworld Bead's power. But he has refined this treasure using his blood and has also practised the Netherworld Nirvana Manual. He can already control the Netherworld Bead with some difficulty.

The enemy just so happens to be using a water class spell. True Netherworld Water is ranked amongst the six great true waters, the sovereigns of water. It also seems to have been angered by this water dragon baring its fangs in front of it.

Following Wang Lin's thought, the Netherworld Bead slowly flew up, emitting a pale yellow light in the air.

Upon coming in contact with the yellow light, the water dragon instantly fell apart.

The tight-uniformed youth was dumbfounded.

Xue Chao was also dazed. Looking at the Netherworld Bead again his eyes instantly revealed a colour of greed and desire.

The appearance of the Netherworld Bead instantly shattered the enemy's water class spell.

Xue Chao wrinkled his forehead and then relaxed it. His eyes revealed a look of greed: "Mister Ma, I want this treasure. Please get it for me, there will naturally be a generous gift afterwards."

Mister Ma who was like a thin bamboo pole sized up Wang Lin and then looked at the Netherworld Bead.

"I don't want to bully a kid. Young Master Xue, you can capture this kid on your own, I will help you hold back this treasure of his. Young Master, you have the perfect chance to show off your skills."

Hearing Mister Ma's words, Xue Chao laughed out loud: "With your word I can relax."

Finishing speaking, Xue Chao suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a trail of white smoke: "Go!"

The white smoke drifted and flew towards Wang Lin. It looked slow but in reality it had already arrived in front of Wang Lin in the blink of an eye.

Wang Lin's face was calm and he attentively controlled the Netherworld Bead. The Netherworld Bead burst with light. Upon coming in contact with the pale yellow light, the white smoke stopped moving forward and was unable to overstep the boundary.

At this moment Mister Ma released a dry cough: "Rise!" Before his voice died away, countless vines grew beneath Wang Lin's feet, wobbling and binding towards Wang Lin.

Wang Lin was startled. The mystical light of the Netherworld Bead shone towards the dense vines under his feet. Being illuminated by the Netherworld Mystic Light, the vines all withered in succession.

But new vines endlessly emerged from the ground. The rate of growth was even greater than the speed of withering and the number of vines was becoming increasingly greater.

Seeing Mister Ma's spell tie down the Netherworld Bead, Xue Chao was complacent. He laughed out loud: "Such a treasure is a waste in your hands. Give it to me!"

While speaking the white smoke once again surged towards the Netherworld Bead.

Wang Lin pressed his lips tightly together. His left hand formed a spell sign in front of his chest and his right index finger pointed towards the white smoke.

A black thread shot straight towards Xue Chao's white smoke.

Xue Chao sneered: "You little shithead, you really think you're all that?"

Witnessing the power of Wang Lin's Finger of Hades from before, Xue Chao was already more vigilant. He himself has a cultivation level of qi disciple level 10, moreover with this attack he did not hold back at all.

The Finger of Hades' mana may still be able to purify and break the white smoke, but the white smoke is incredibly condensed. Only 10-20% of it was purified by Wang Lin's attack.

Wang Lin's face was slightly pale. For the current him, the Finger of Hades is extremely mana heavy. For him who is at qi disciple level 2, his mana is truly not abundant.

Xue Chao laughed out loud: "This treasure is mine now." While speaking, the white smoke was already about to wrap up the Netherworld Bead.

At this moment, a beam of golden buddhist light suddenly lit up, protecting the Netherworld Bead. When the white smoke touched the buddhist light it was immediately unable to advance another step.

The buddhist light turned into a glistening "卍" character pattern. While it turned, it had already deflected Xue Chao's white smoke to the side and it was unable to pose any threat to the Netherworld Bead anymore.

In the mist, Lin Feng slowly stepped out of it. He carried himself with grace, wearing a wide-sleeved white robe and daoist clothing. He had the demeanor of a sagely master.

Wang Lin instantly breathed a sigh of relief: "Master."

Lin Feng nodded his head not speaking. Currently he was pondering over the Little Samsara Techniques spell that he just used: "Even though I have the ability analyzer tool allowing me to grasp a spell within a short period of time, if I want to use the spell skillfully I still need to practise more."

"The best is to fight with people in actual combat. Using it just now I obtained a better understanding."

While pondering, Lin Feng looked towards Xue Chao and co. He thought: "I've got to ask clearly why they turned hostile upon hearing galactic sand. Maybe they know the location of galactic sand?"

Thinking this, Lin Feng asked: You guys know the location of galactic sand?"

But Xue Chao and co. did not answer, instead they all stared at Lin Feng and Wang Lin with a weird look on their faces.

Lin Feng was puzzled in his heart: "Did I wear the wrong clothes? Nothing's wrong, these are the clothes."

On the other side, Xue Chao suddenly burst with laughter and was laughing his head off.

He sneered saying: "A mere qi disciple great circle of perfection cultivator actually dares to put on a charade in front of me. It truly is hilarious."

He stared at Lin Feng and snorted coldly saying: "You've got some kind of treasure on your body that can hide your own cultivation level, right? If you didn't do anything I still wouldn't be able to see through your depths, but your spell just now completely betrayed you."

Mister Ma also shook his head in laughter: "You dress as a daoist but you use buddhist spells. So mixed and impure, you are presumably a wandering cultivator?"

The smile on his skinny face gradually faded: "A wandering cultivator with no school or sect and your cultivation level is only just qi disciple level 12. Who gave you the balls to be speaking with such impudence!"

Hearing this Lin Feng was speechless. Beside him Wang Lin looked at Xue Chao and co. with the face of looking at a bunch of idiots.

That tight-uniformed youth who was careless before and nearly screwed up losing to Wang Lin was glaring at Wang Lin the whole time. Seeing Wang Lin's expression right now he became even more angered. He said coldly: "Ignorant little bastard, this is your master? You're fucking blind, you think a qi disciple level 12 wandering cultivator can protect you. Take a look at who you've messed with!"

The other tight-uniformed youth smiled saying: "This is our young master, Xue Chao, the legitimate son of the Great Zhou Dynasty's Xue clan. But I wonder if a wild cultivator like you has heard of us before?"

Lin Feng's expression was calm and he chuckled: "I've only heard before that the Great Qin Dynasty has four great clans. As for the Great Zhou Dynasty, well, there were indeed a number of old cultivation families before. There was something to look at, but in recent years the Zhou Dynasty's royal authority has been unprecedentedly centralized. The majority of so-called old families have all vanished."

"The Xue clan? Never heard of it, a new upstart family?"

Xue Chao's expression turned cold: "Just based on your words, don't think of leaving this place alive."

Beside him, Mister Ma looked at Lin Feng. He shook his head with a face of pity: "You still dare to spout nonsense here, you truly do not know where you stand." While speaking, he released his vast mana without any concealment, fully exhibiting his foundation establishment stage cultivation level.

"Young Master Xue, like I said, I don't want to bully kids. A little qi disciple stage bug is not worth it for me to dispose of." Mister Ma smiled lightly saying: "This person is so arrogant, he might have some cards up his sleeves. But you don't need to worry, attack without any hesitation. Whatever cards he has up his sleeves, I will take care of them."

Xue Chao smiled coldly: "So what if he has something up his sleeves? 3000 of our Zhou Dynasty's Shenwu Army elites are currently all in the Ancient World Marsh. General Xie is right around here, what can he do?"

"This person is of unknown origin. Even though he dresses as a daoist, his spell is of the buddhist path. He could very likely be a remnant of the Great Thunder Monastery." Xue Chao said sinisterly: "Capturing such a remnant rebel also happens to be a merit."

"By the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, all rebels and those who resist arrest must be killed with no pardon!"

Speaking here, Xue Chao clapped his hands together and a sword flew out from his back. It shimmered with light and was astoundingly a foundation establishment stage sword. It arced through the air and circled above Lin Feng.

Xue Chao said coldly: "Get on your knees now and surrender. Offer up that orb and I can just cripple your cultivation prowess and spare your life."

The two tight-uniformed youths behind him exchanged looks and both started laughing: "This guy dares to put on airs in front of Young Master, he truly is an idiot."

"Even if he has something up his sleeves, how can he be a match for foundation establishment stage Mister Ma? Stepping on him is like crushing a bug for Mister Ma."

"Even without Mister Ma he's still as good as dead. Young Master still has a trump card that he hasn't used."

Hearing the chatter on the other side and then looking at the flying sword circling above his head, Lin Feng was a bit speechless for a moment.

He brushed his sleeves and had an indifferent look.

"I don't wish to bully kids. You are qi disciple stage so when I made my move before I also only used qi disciple stage cultivation level. I did not expect that I would actually be looked down upon by you kids."

Lin Feng slightly raised his eyes and his gaze turned cold: "Do you know how you'll end up using a sword in front of me?"

"Do you know the consequences of using a sword in front of me?"

Lin Feng said lightly.

Hearing this Xue Chao was ssurprised for a moment and then couldn't help laughing: "Seems like you've gone crazy you daoist, who do you think you are?"

Closely afterwards he smiled cruelly: "A piece of trash like you has no use living in this world. That being the case I'll send you on your way right now!" While speaking, he controlled the flying sword to chop down towards Lin Feng's head.

But Lin Feng didn't even look at the flying sword above his head, instead he looked at skinny bamboo pole-like Mister Ma and and asked calmly: "Foundation establishment stage, you have the highest cultivation level out of all of you guys here?"

Mister Ma slightly wrinkled his forehead: "Heretic, you truly do not know the immensity of heaven and earth. Still spouting nonsense here at this kind of time?"

Lin Feng chuckled: "Forget it, I still will not bully a bunch of kids."

"Even using aurous core stage strength is bullying you guys."

Before his voice died away, dazzling buddhist light charged up into the sky, directly knocking away Xue Chao's sword that was chopping downward.

In the dumbfound eyes of Xue Chao and co, clouds of golden haze enveloped the surrounding 100 feet of marshland. The miasma fog originally in the marsh all disappeared and the rotten stench was also replaced by waves of sandalwood.

In the light haze, buddhist chanting rang beside the ears. It was precisely the 24 Heavens Arhat Formation.

In the buddhist chanting, 24 golden arhats strode out from the light haze. 24 100 foot tall arhat light figures formed a forest of giants, standing in a circle and surrounding Xue Chao and co in the center.

Every single golden arhat revealed foundation establishment stage mana fluctuations. The mana of the the 24 arhats connected together as one was truly as limitless as the sky and ocean.

Xue Chao and co. who were aggressively surrounded by this kind of line-up instantly felt pressure as big as a mountain.

That foundation establishment stage spellsword of Xue Chao's was constrained in mid-air by buddhist light. It was like a fish in the desert, no matter how much it flailed around it was unable to move.

"This… How is this possible?" Xue Chao and the other two were stunned and unable to speak. Mister Ma's face was also pale, he opened his mouth with difficulty saying: "Fellow daoist… No, Senior, please put away your skill, there might be some misunderstandings here."

A freaking massive misunderstanding!

None of them thought beforehand that Lin Feng who looked to only have a cultivation level of the great circle of perfection of qi disciple could actually use such a terrifying skill. Isn't this a misunderstanding?

Lin Feng's voice travelled out from the golden buddhist light, it was very ethereal and grand.

"Misunderstanding? You guys made trouble for my disciple and recklessly took up arms in front of me. The facts are all here, I didn't misunderstand at all."

Mister Ma was already about to cry. He bit his teeth: "I am Ma Wu, a disciple of the Blue Rose Temple on Mount Evergreen. I had eyes but failed to see Mt. Tai and caused offense to you. My master is Progenitor Flower Vine, please give some face and forgive my afront just now."

Seeing his bodyguard Ma Wu actually go and ask for Lin Feng's forgiveness, Xue Chao's eyes instantly turned red and he roared in anger: "General Xie and the army are right around here, why be scared of him?"

Even using every single ounce of strength he had he was still unable to call back his flying sword. He was instantly anxious, he took out a talisman from his clothes and hastily launched it towards the golden arhats.

Ma Wu's face turned green and he wished that he could slap this playboy to death.

No matter how many helpers there are around here, if they can't defeat Lin Feng and die first, at that time it will be useless no matter who comes.

The talisman exploded within the buddhist light formation, turning into balls of fire that constantly exploded. Even the billowing buddhist light golden haze was blasted open.

Blazing flames dashed to the sky and the tyrannical flames swept over with the force to burn the sky and boil the sea. The golden arhats also all retreated backwards. Under the assault of the blazing fire, their bodies made of light even became a bit unstable, as if they were about to shatter at any moment.

Ma Wu's eyes instantly lit up: "Aurous core talisman?"

This talisman that Xue Chao threw out was astoundingly an aurous core talisman. This was specially made by a powerful elder in his clan for him to protect himself. It is equivalent to the attack of a powerful aurous core stage cultivator and is Xue Chao's final ace.

"Fight a path out and then when we draw the army over, even if he is an aurous core or nascent soul old monster it is still certain death for him!" Xue Chao's face was twisted and the two followers behind him all echoed in response upon hearing him.

Seeing an aurous core talisman carving out a path, Ma Wu's thoughts also livened up. If he doesn't need to grovel on his knees of course he doesn't want to either.

Ma Wu's two hands instantly formed a spell sign. He opened his mouth and spit out a plant seed. Under the stimulation of Ma Wu's mana, the seed rapidly sprouted and grew in the air, turning into a seedling.

The leaves of the seedling were clear and a rich green. It looked very pure and fresh, but the green circles of light that emitted around the seedling revealed a terrifying mana fluctuation.

Where the green light passed, the golden buddhist light in the 24 Heavens Arhat Formation all gradually vanished.

Originally the buddhist light formation was already a bit unstable after sustaining the bombardment of the aurous core talisman. Now with Ma Wu's followup attack it has become even more precarious.

Seeing this, Ma Wu couldn't help saying with a smile: "Fellow daoist, if you are willing to leave now we'll forget about everything from before. What do you say?"

Xue Chao snorted: "As if, I think this daoist is just a pewter spearhead that shines like silver. He looks good but he's useless, he's just relying on this formation that he picked up from god knows where to put on a charade. Once we break this formation I'll show him who's boss."

Ma Wu didn't care about his words. He let Xue Chao play the bad cop while he played the good cop: "Fellow daoist, if you don't turn away now, Young Master Xue is not going to let things go with you. At that time it will be too late for you to regret."

Lin Feng's chuckling travelled over from the within the buddhist light: "Exactly who will regret when it's too late?"

"An aurous core talisman, hehe, so what if it's an aurous core talisman?" Lin Feng smiled saying: "I said before that it would be bullying you guys if I used even aurous core stage strength."

Finishing speaking, the situation in the 24 Heavens Arhat Formation suddenly changed. Three of the arhats amongst the 24 golden arhat suddenly burned up with blazing flames.

The remaining arhats respectively guarded the three flaming arhats in groups of seven. Their pure buddhist mana was endlessly supplied to the flaming arhats.

The three flaming arhats chanted a buddhist prayer together. Fire charged up into the sky, connecting together in the air above their heads and turning into a boundless sea of fire.

The sea of fire rumbled and even the entire buddhist light formation shook for a moment.

Xue Chao and co. who were at the qi disciple stage didn't really have a clear feeling, but foundation establishment stage Mister Ma clearly felt that there seemed to be something terrifying about to be born in the sea of fire.

The next moment, a golden buddha with four faces, eight arms and an angry expression slowly rose up from the sea of fire. There was a closed vertical eye between the brows of the buddha.

The milky white Fury Flames of Acala shot out from the vertical eye between the buddha's brows, landing on the blazing flames created by the aurous core talisman.

"Boom!"

They are both flames, but the blazing fire created by Xue Chao's talisman seemed to have become the fuel for the Fury Flames of Acala. In just a short instant, the red fire completely died out and turned into a boundless white sea of fire!

The Fury Flames of Acala are this domineering, even other flames will be burned to nothingness by it!

Ma Wu watched with a face of despair at the little sapling he brought out get surrounded by the white sea of fire. He wanted to take it back but was unable to do so and it was instantly burnt to ashes.

"No!" His soulbound magic item being destroyed, Ma Wu spit out a mouthful of blood. He collapsed to the ground and in the next instant he was surrounded by the sea of fire, turning into a flaming person while screaming.

The remaining three people didn't even have the room to struggle and were devoured by the sea of fire.

"Why exactly did I mess with this kind of fiend?" This was the last though in all of their minds, they really did regret when it was too late.

Watching this scene in front of him, Wang Lin had a vibrant look in his eyes.

Lin Feng suddenly came to his mind: "I can't burn them all, I still need to ask them about the matter of galactic sand." Thinking here, he hurriedly retracted his Fury Flames of Acala ability and converted his mana to the Netherworld Nirvana Manual.

Of the four people, only Ma Wu with the highest cultivation level still luckily kept his life. But his body has already been burnt to a crisp and only his soul remains.

Not waiting for him to rejoice that the fire was finally extinguished, his soul was captured by a stream of mana.

Ma Wu was instantly scared out of his wits. Lin Feng stared at him with a smiling face and used the Netherworld Puppeteer spell.

Inside the space of the Netherworld Bead, Ma Wu's soul had already completely become a semi-transparent pale yellow colour and was painfully struggling in the surging True Netherworld Water.

"My master will not forgive you!" Ma Wu roared with hatred.

Lin Feng chuckled: "I know, that nascent soul stage master of yours engraved a charm in your soul. As soon as you die and your soul dissipates he will immediately know. But I am not killing you right now, I wonder if he can know your current predicament?"

Ma Wu closed his eyes in despair. He never thought that he didn't die but is suffering a thousand times more than death.

Lin Feng smiled lightly: "Tell me now, how come you guys instantly turned hostile and attacked the moment my disciple asked you guys for information about galactic sand?"

Ma Wu swore to all of the gods and buddhas in the heavens that he absolutely did not want to answer Lin Feng's question, or just wanted to give an incorrect answer.

But the restraints of the Netherworld Puppeteer spell made him answer every question asked with the truth.

"The Society of the Strong Gale?" Lin Feng was indeed a bit surprised. To think that galactic sand would actually be linked with the Society of the Strong Gale.

The Society of the Strong Gale is an anti-Zhou organization formed by the adherents of Snowgale who had their country destroyed by the Great Zhou Dynasty. Amongst the numerous anti-Zhou rule organizations they are quite active.

Half a year ago to take in Zhu Yi as his disciple, Lin Feng went to the Zhou Dynasty imperial city, Tianjing. There he once came in contact with the people of the Society of the Strong Gale. At that time to threaten the Marquis of Xuanji, they abducted Zhu Yi who is the bastard of the Marquis of Xuanji.

This time the reason the Great Zhou Dynasty dispatched their army into the Ancient World Marsh is to pursue a group of Society of the Strong Gale cultivators.

Galactic sand was once discovered on the bodies of cultivators of the Society of the Strong Gale. This is why when Xue Chao and co. heard Wang Lin mention galactic sand, they wanted to capture him first without any second thought.

Lin Feng secretly frowned: "In the end I still don't know the exact location of galactic sand. In the vast marshland where do you want me to go to find those members of the Society of the Strong Gale.

Throwing the Netherworld Bead back to Wang Lin, Lin Feng said casually: "It's best to have a specific casting target to practise spells. Use this kid to practise the Finger of Hades. But remember, don't kill him, I still have use for him."

Wang Lin heavily nodded his head while Ma Wu screamed: "I won't forgive you even if I become a ghost!"

Lin Feng was to lazy to bother with him. He shook the Black Cloud Flag and left with Wang Lin.

Since they mentioned that the Great Zhou Dynasty has an army right around here, the battle just now definitely startled them. Lin Feng naturally isn't stupid enough to remain on the spot and wait for the army to arrive.

Even if the marsh is covered with miasma, right now Lin Feng was still doing his best to expand his area of perception.

He wants to find of the members of the Society of the Strong Gale. They will not easily reveal their whereabouts. Only when the pursuers of the Zhou Dynasty catch up to them and a battle occurs can Lin Feng discover their location from the mana fluctuations that travel over.

Just like this Lin Feng wandered around for nearly half a month's time. At the same time as looking for the members of the Society of the Strong Gale, Lin Feng himself also did not give up on searching for galactic sand. But he still had no gains.

This day, Lin Feng controlled the Black Cloud Flag flying in the miasma fog. Suddenly he sensed a wave of violent mana fluctuations not far away from him. There is a lot of commotion, clearly there are people fighting.

Lin Feng hurriedly put away the Black Cloud Flag and landed on the ground. He moved stealthily and drew near.

Getting closer, light flashed within the fog. A dozen human figures mingled together. As one fell another rose, the battle was in full swing.

Lin Feng used the Shadow Sneak Technique to hide his body and also has the system to hide his mana fluctuations. He quietly approached, the two sides in battle both did not notice that someone had snuck right beside them.

The number of people in the two opposing parties is not even. The side with more people has a whole dozen people surrounding and attacking three enemies.

These dozen people are all wearing shining magic armour. They emitted a faint glow in the fog that completely cut off the miasma. The cultivation level of these people may not be high, but they move with discipline and have strong teamwork, exerting power that transcends their cultivation level.

They held identical lightning blades in their hands that flashed with lightning and roared with thunder as they were swung, demonstrating remarkable lethality.

The dozen people vaguely formed a formation. They were coordinated with each other and their mana also had a trend of resonating and joining together. Matched with their armour and blades their fighting power was multiplied.

"This is the Great Zhou Dynasty's Shenwu Army?" Lin Feng looked at these dozen people and his eyes narrowed into slits.

The Shenwu Army is the Great Zhou Dynasty's elite force. Different from regular mundane armies, this Shenwu Army is supposedly comprised entirely of cultivators. The rebels that they're capture are also definitely cultivators.

Different from the Great Qin Dynasty where the four great clans hold vast resources and a strong voice, under the combined effort of the Zhou emperor Liang Pan and the Marquis of Xuanji Zhu Hongwu, the Great Zhou Dynasty's royal authority is unprecedentedly concentrated. He has a bit of the grandiose of the ancient saint emperors and the majority of cultivators are also collected under the control of the royal authority.

Rumors say the the Shenwu Army is an an army that gathers the elite cultivators of all stages within the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Being able to militarize cultivators who advocate freedom, on one side it is because the Zhou emperor and the Marquis of Xuanji have great ability, on the other it is also because the royal family can provide a large amount of cultivation resources to these cultivators. Thus cultivators from the Shenwu Army are all very powerful and they also advance their cultivation level very quickly.

These past few years, the item crafting standard of the Great Zhou Dynasty has made great progress. Batch after batch of powerful magic items are created and then provided to the cultivators of the Shenwu Army, arming them to the teeth.

Generally speaking, with a difference of one stage such as a qi disciple stage cultivator facing a foundation establishment stage cultivator, unless the qi disciple stage cultivator has a powerful magic item or spell holding down the line, it is very difficult to pose a threat to the foundation establishment stage cultivator. Not even quantity is enough to make up for quality.

But the Shenwu Army's tacit coordination, strict discipline plus powerful equipment made all of this change.

A solitary foundation establishment stage cultivator being surrounded by a troop of Shenwu soldiers could very likely be killed on the spot.

Lin Feng observed closely, the three people surrounded by this troop of Shenwu soldiers were currently in a tight position with signs of danger appearing everywhere.

The cultivation levels of the three people are not actually weak. Out of two of them, one is qi disciple level 11 with a flying sword circling in the air, his swordsmanship is quite refined. The other person in particular is a cultivator at the great circle of perfection of the qi disciple stage.

But under the encirclement of a troop of Shenwu soldiers of which the person with the highest cultivation level is only qi disciple level 10, these two people are retreating one step after another.

If not for the third companion occasionally providing assistance, these two people would have already been killed.

Over half of Lin Feng's attention was placed on that third person. It's just that this person has flames rippling all over their body and he can't see their appearance.

All Lin Feng knows is that the person is a female. A female seemingly surrounded by fire, a female who is like fire herself!

A crimson red tight uniform over her body, red riding boots, red cloak, red hair like a cluster of blazing fire and the fire flickering within her eyes!

"She should only have a cultivation level of foundation establishment early stage and having her qi ocean opened, but her fighting ability is truly powerful." Lin Feng evaluated her strength in his heart and discovered this this red-clothed female is absolutely not an ordinary person.

Yet, this red-clothed female may be aggressive, but she does not dare to fight with full strength and instead has worries in her heart.

Because in the outer circle of the battle there still stood a middle-aged man. He wore the Dark Beast Black Light Armour that only field officer ranked officers in the Shenwu Army can wear. The surface of the armour flickered with a dark glow and the beast head on the chest was grim and ferocious.

This middle-aged officer's aura was a deep abyss and a lofty peak. His mana was immense and he was clearly a foundation establishment cultivator no less weaker than the red-clothed female.

Seeing her companions frequently fall into danger, the red-clothed female released a cold snort. She shook her arms and held up a pitch-black halberd.

Black light flickered over the halberd, mixing together with the fire around the female's body and turning into a red and black storm, sweeping out in all directions.

The troop of Shenwu Army cultivators all had grave expressions. They stood side by side, a dozen blinding-white lightning blades slashing down together. A dozen arcs of rolling lightning connected together as one, in the end turning into an enormous beam of blade aura and colliding with the red and black storm.

The dozen Shenwu Army cultivators all had pale faces. Even so their two legs were still firmly nailed to the ground. They were forcibly pushed sliding backwards, leaving dozens of deep tracks in the ground.

The red-clothed female wrinkled her forehead. The opposing side's commander has yet to make a move, just relying upon a troop of qi disciple stage cultivators working together is enough to take on her attack by brute force. This made her unable to relax at all.

At this moment the middle-aged field officer suddenly opened his mouth, his voice was like rolling thunder: "Yue Hongyan, put down your weapon and surrender. This is your only way out." (TL: 岳红炎, Yue Hong Yan. Family name means mountain, her name mean red flame.)

The fire circling around her gradually subsided. Only now did Lin Feng get a clear of the red-clothed female, Yue Hongyan's true appearance.

She was unexpectedly young, just a 15, 16 years old girl. She did not tie her hair and it blew in the wind like blazing fire.

Her long red eyebrows were like two thin swords. There was no tenderness to be spoken of, instead they were filled with heroic spirit like a man and revealed a thick murderous aura.

Her face like white jade was flawless. Her nose was far more prominent compared to other females, showing her strong will. But her red lips that originally should have been rosy instead only had a hint of scarlet.

Hearing the middle-aged field officer's words, Yue Hongyan smiled proudly and softly opened her red lips.

"Ptui!"

"Yue Hongyan, put down your weapon and surrender. This is your only way out."

Hearing this, Yue Hongyan smirked. The black light halberd swept forward and a red and black storm headed straight towards the middle-aged field officer.

The Shenwu Army field officer's face turned dark and he didn't evade or resist, he just pushed his own mana and infused it into the Dark Beast Black Light Armour on his body.

The eyes of the savage beast head on the chest flashed with a black light as if it had become alive, releasing a low roar.

A massive apparition suddenly appeared in front of the Shenwu Army field officer. It was a violent beast, bellowing and colliding together with the storm that Yue Hongyan unleashed.

The beast apparition broke apart but the red and black storm also disappeared.

The Shenwu Army field officer said sharply: "All rebels of the Society of the Strong Gale who resist arrest are to be killed on the spot."

Yue Hongyan glared at him with her large eyes: "I'll kill you first!" Her feet stamped the ground and the ground was full of cracks. She had already charged in front of the Shenwu Army field officer like a bolt of lightning. The black light halberd brought up a wave of flames and it thrust towards his chest.

Hiding at the side, Lin Feng's pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes stared straight at the black light halberd in Yue Hongyan's hands.

The fire and the cyclone converged together, forming a massive firestorm that wrapped up and whirled around the halberd. In the end it gathered at the tip of the halberd.

The storm seemed to sweep away everything in the surrounding space, in the end gathering towards that pointed tip. Everything ultimately converged at this one point.

The point that pierces through all!

The Shenwu Army field officer's expression slightly changed. His body floated backward, but after just moving he suddenly felt a powerful force of suction originating from that point on the tip of Yue Hongyan's halberd.

The center of the firestorm seemed to want to completely suck him into that little tip!

"The Divine Spear of Oblivion?! The Shenwu Army field officer turned red in the face. He took out a jade slip from his storage bag and crushed it with his fastest speed. (TL: Google bamboo slip if you want to know what it looks like, google jade slip for a pleasant surprise.)

The jade slip was crushed and it turned into a multitude of barriers that blocked in the middle between him and Yue Hongyan.

At the same time as obstructing Yue Hongyan, the Shenwu Army field officer did not take the opportunity to retreat or flee. Instead he unleashed a fierce counterattack.

He let out a loud shout, his two hands forming spell signs together. All of his mana exploded but did not attack Yue Hongyan and instead all surged into the ground beneath his feet.

Seeing this scene, a bad feeling surfaced in Lin Feng's heart.

Afterwards he saw those Shenwu Army cultivators who had originally already retreated all sheathe their blades in order. Their hands formed the same spell signs as their superior!

Everybody's mana all surged into the ground.

"Rumbbbble!"

Instantly, the ground beneath Yue Hongyan's feet suddenly ruptured and exploded like an earthquake. Violent lightning charged up into the sky.

"Earth Core Thunderclap!" Yue Hongyan's eyes narrowed. Only at this moment did she understand that the reason why the enemy leader, the Shenwu Army field officer didn't attack is because he was preparing this kind of extremely terrifying spell.

In front are the many barriers created after he crushed the jade slip.

Below is the constantly exploding ground and violent lightning.

Deep into an ambush, the choice of Yue Hongyan who had fallen into a trap of absolute death was to let out a loud shout.

"Kill!"

Ignoring the exploding ground beneath her feet, towering flames burst out from the black light halberd in Yue Hongyan's hand and her speed increased again!

Not dodging or evading, not retreating or stepping down, just going forward!

If there is an obstacle, break through it!

If there is an ambush, destroy it!

Regardless of the countless layers of defense in front of the enemy, regardless of the constantly exploding lightning under the ground beneath her feet, Yue Hongyan's halberd never once strayed or wavered!

The Shenwu Army field officer's expression changed greatly. No matter what he never thought that this delicate looking little girl was actually so fierce.

Caught off guard, he was directly pierced by Yue Hongyan's black light halberd. His entire body was directly sent flying by the raging firestorm and the Dark Beast Black Light Armour on his body was burnt to nothingness!

"Withdraw!" The Shenwu Army field officer grunted. If not for the protection of the armour on his body, just now he would have been directly skewered by Yue Hongyan's halberd.

At this moment he didn't dare to have any more hesitation and he rapidly retreated under the protection of his soldiers.

Yue Hongyan did not pursue, her entire body was wreathed in red fire. Bearing the bombardment of the enemy's violent spell, all of the blood left her cherry lips and her white-jade cheeks were almost transparent white. Bright red blood blood dripped out from the corner of her mouth without stop.

Lin Feng who witnessed the entire battle exhaled a long breath and his eyes stared at Yue Hongyan.

Besides "savage chick", he honestly couldn't make any other evaluation.

This chick, she is the same as the martial skill the Divine Spear of Oblivion that she used. Where the tip of the spear points to, there is death and no life, there is me and no enemy, leave none alive.

But even though she repelled the enemy, Yue Hongyan herself also doesn't have the strength to fight anymore. It was truly a Pyrrhic victory.

Her two companions hurriedly went over to support her. Yue Hongyan rested for a while and then said: "Let's go fast, the Zhou dog's main force will arrive soon."

The three people hurriedly escaped into the thick miasma fog within the marsh, but they didn't notice that after a moment, a human walked out from the fog and followed closely behind them.

This person was precisely the Shenwu Army field officer who was just defeated by Yue Hongyan.

His Dark Beast Black Light Armour has already been destroyed and only a white robe remained on his body. His face was pale and he is clearly gravely injured, but his expression was extremely composed and calm. He carefully trailed behind Yue Hongyan and co.

When his figure also disappeared, not long afterwards Lin Feng's figure slowly walked out from the fog. His expression was uncertain.

"This person is such a schemer, actually taking a risk and pretending to lose. Is it to find the location of the Society of the Strong Gale's base in the Ancient World Marsh? If there was the slightest mishap just now he really would have died under Yue Hongyan's spear."

"I wonder if Yue Hongyan and the other two people can really lead me to find the location of galactic sand?"

Over 5o kilometers away from Lin Feng and co in the marsh, a massive military camp was built right on top of the vast bog.

Within the military camp, many cultivators wearing armour constantly passed-by between the tents. Those with a low cultivation level were only qi disciple level 3-4, while those with a high cultivation level had foundation establishment mid-late stage strength.

Regardless of the height of the cultivation level of these cultivators, a common characteristic is that they all have the hardened aura of a soldier. It looks like it does not match their identity as cultivators, but there is a weird sense of harmony.

At the center of the military camp was erected a massive tent.

Inside of the tent, the crying sounds of a woman and a child constantly travelled over.

A man fell to the ground on his back. His eyes stared at the ceiling of the tent. The anger, hatred and fear in his eyes had already gradually disappeared, becoming a lifeless colour. Fresh blood bubbled from the wound on his neck and even released a bit of heat.

The young wife cried in agony and closely hugged her son, using her hands to cover his eyes.

She is afraid to let her son see the miserable appearance of his father being killed.

But the young boy seemed to sense something. He struggled incessantly and cried without stop, tears constantly seeped out from the gaps between his mother's fingers.

Across from them, a sturdy man wearing heavy armour leaned against a chair and was slowly wiping the dripping blood on his sword.

His name is Wicked, he is the commander in charge of this troop. His surname is Wicked, his name is Wicked, his entire name is only one word, Wicked.

His troops and subordinates all called him General Wicked.

Looking at the crying mother and son, Wicked lightly flicked the sword blade and opened his mouth saying: "He wasn't willing to praise me, what about you?"

The young wife's body trembled nonstop. She weeped silently not saying a word.

Suddenly, her arms were empty. She lifted her head in a panic and saw a scene that scared the living daylights out of her. Her son had already landed in Wicked's hands.

The boy was virtually scared dumb. Wicked lightly scanned the young wife: "Praise me, or else he dies."

The young wife's body was stiff. It was precisely this demon in front who lead an army and hunted her compatriots of Snowgale, moreover killing her husband right in front of her. Yet now he wants her to praise him?

How could she do that?

But if she doesn't, her son…

The little boy stared blankly at his father's corpse on the ground and finally reacted over. He started to cry loudly and he waved around his hands struggling hard.

Wicked didn't even look at him once, he just stared at the young wife and placed the sword on the little boy's neck. He said calmly: "Praise me."

A chill surged from the sword and a bloodstain instantly split open on the boy's neck.

The young wife's entire body shuddered. She didn't dare to have any more hesitation and she difficulty opened her mouth: "General, you are brilliant and almighty, please spare my son…" After the first words left her mouth, the mental barrier in the young wife's heart completely collapsed and words of flattery came out one after another.

But her expression was completely numb. Her mouth moved mechanically as if she was a walking corpse, she just looked at her son using eyes filled with tears.

Wicked closed his eyes and slightly raised his head. He seemed to be quite enjoying it, he opened his mouth saying: "Continue, don't stop. The moment you stop I'll kill him."

The young wife constantly spoke words of praise, but she ultimately has a time when she exhausts her vocabulary. At the end she started to constantly repeat.

The sword held to her son's neck put a lot of pressure on her. In the end her mind finally turned from numbness to complete devastation. She spoke incoherently and was already unable to speak fluently, she could only look towards Wicked with pleading eyes.

Wicked frowned: "Is there no more?" He calmly looked towards the little boy who was already hoarse from crying: "In my life what I hate the most are you brats. Annoying people with your crying, upsetting people with your crying and you don't know how to praise me."

"What use is there keeping you?" While speaking, Wicked threw the boy on the ground.

The young wife rushed towards her son in delight. But the next instant, a big foot came crashing down, crushing the little boys head right in front of her!

"Ah…. Ahhhhhhhh!!!" The young wife went blank for a moment and then madly rushed towards her son's body.

Over there, there was only the little boy's small headless body and blood all over the floor.

Wicked turned his sword and blood flashed at the young wife's neck. She slumped to the ground, her eyes blankly staring at her son's corpse.

"After killing these three people, my mana increased a bit more again. Not bad, not bad at all!" Wicked inhaled a deep breath. A red light flickered over his face, his face was very calm.

This kind of calmness was bloodthirst and cruelty a million times colder than being cold-hearted.

"Those Society of the Strong Gale rebels, they use this kind magic item to fix a position in the Ancient World Marsh?" Wicked walked out of the tent. Looking at the group of Shenwu Army soldiers silently waiting for him outside of the tent, he said calmly: "Move out, the target, the rebels' base in the marsh."

Wicked suddenly smiled: "Don't spare a singly rebel!"

In the depths of the Ancient World Marsh, Lin Feng was cautiously followed behind Yue Hongyan and co when his body suddenly shuddered. He turned his head looking behind him.

"Such a heavy smell of blood and murderous intent, is it my imagination?"

"Such a heavy smell of blood and murderous intent, is it my imagination?"

Lin Feng turned his head looking behind him but he couldn't sense the presence of any person or creature. He could only shake his head and give up. But a lingering shadow was left behind in his heart, as if there was some danger right around him.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Lin Feng looked towards Yue Hongyan and co. He saw Yue Hongyan take out a magic item that looked like a small wooden sword.

The small wooden sword was activated by Yue Hongyan. It flew up into the air, spinning around a couple of circles and then stopping. The tip of the sword pointed in a direction. Yue Hongyan put away the wooden sword and the three people advanced in the direction the wooden sword pointed to.

Along the way, Lin Feng has seen this situation more than once. He already knows in his heart that Yue Hongyan and the cultivators of the Society of the Strong Gale use this magic item to identify direction within the Ancient World Marsh.

Lin Feng moved forward following behind them. He entered deep into the interior of the marsh and after going around danger zone after danger zone, he entering into a desert.

Stepping on the yellow sand, there was immediately solid ground beneath his feet. Lin Feng thought: "There is actually this kind of dry desert in the Ancient World Marsh where there are marshes everywhere? It's practically like an oasis in the desert."

"Desert, desert, could it be related to galactic sand?"

Lin Feng raised his eyes looking across. The area of the desert is extremely vast and covers dozens of kilometers around. A lone mountain stands at the center of the desert, it looks extremely out of place in the Ancient World Marsh.

Lin Feng silently snuck onto the barren mountain. With Yue Hongyan and co leading the path, he very quickly arrived in front of a cave halfway up the mountain.

The position of the cave is extremely hidden. If he wasn't following behind Yue Hongyan and co, it would be very hard for Lin Feng to discover this place.

Yue Hongyan and co arrived in front of the cave. A voice from on top of a rock at the side suddenly travelled over: "Is it Hongyan who is back?"

A head popped out from within the rock, smiling and greeting Yue Hongyan and the other two. It was a secret sentry that the members of the Society of the Strong Gale placed here.

Yue Hongyan answered snappily: "Be more vigilant, don't casually reveal your position during your shift."

The person on the rock smiled saying: "I only spoke after seeing that it was you guys. If it were Zhou dogs, I would have directly cut down with my sword."

Yue Hongyan and the other two walked into the cave, but Lin Feng was not in a rush to move. Instead he hid at the side and waited quietly.

In front of him, the figure of a middle-aged man hid behind a stone wall. He avoided the line of sight of the Society of the Strong Gale's secret sentry above the cave and was quietly observing the cave. It was precisely the Shenwu field officer.

After attentively observing for a moment, he took out a silver bracelet from his storage bag and put it around his wrist. Afterwards he chanted the spell incantation.

Lin Feng looked towards his wrist. He saw that a circle of black text had suddenly surfaced over that originally silver bracelet, flowing without stop over the bracelet.

Black smoke rose up from the black text, enshrouding that Shenwu field officer's figure.

The next moment, the colour of the black smoke gradually faded until it turned transparent. And what hid along with it was also the figure of that Shenwu field officer himself.

Lin Feng witnessed the entire process of him hiding his presence so he was not affected by the illusion. His consciousness was fixated on that field officer's mana fluctuations, so he could still accurately capture his position.

Thus he saw the Shenwu field officer swagger towards the cave, openly passing through from under the eyelids of the Society of the Strong Gale's secret sentry and walking into the cave.

Lin Feng grinned, this magic item's ability to hide one's presence is a lot more high-end than Lin Feng's Shadow Sneak Technique.

But it is a lot easier for Lin Feng to pass through here.

Lightly shaking the Black Cloud Flag, the effect of spatial travel activated and Lin Feng had already disappeared on the spot. The next instant he directly appeared within the cave.

Entering into the cave, Lin Feng put away the Black Cloud Flag and walked down following the tunnel.

Walking not too far and avoiding a couple wave of secret sentries, Lin Feng passed through the end of the tunnel and his eyes filled with light.

The entire mountain is virtually completely hollow. The interior of the mountain is a massive cave, houses criss-crossed at the bottom of the cave and smoke lingered in the air. It was astoundingly the appearance of a small village.

The sound of dogs barking and children playing travelled over from the distance. Lin Feng even smelt the fragrance of rice float into his nose.

"This…" Lin Feng snuck into the village and couldn't help being a bit dumbfounded.

A couple of children in the village ran past. One of them was carrying a big rooster that was constantly flailing around. Behind them a village female fuming with rage was carrying a broom and chasing after them: "You bunch of brats, stealing my chicken again. I'm going to teach you guys a lesson today!"

Lin Feng looked a bit awestruck at this scene before him. He can one hundred percent guarantee that these women and children all don't have any cultivation prowess. They are but the most ordinary mortals.

Walking further into the village, the more he saw the more Lin Feng knit his brow.

In one house, a woman with a sickly face laid weakly in bed. A petite little girl was cutting wood and boiling water. After finishing the housework she then hurriedly carried the medicine bowl to her mother. She carefully scooped up a spoonful and gently blew on it.

Only after cooling down the medicine did the little girl put the spoon in front of her mom. Watching her mother drink the medicine, a joyful smile blossomed on the girl's face.

In another yard, a well-built man easily juggled stone locks. His son only a couple years old also took off his shirt. He was stripped to the waist, exposing a row of small ribs on his upper body.

The boy released an immature shout. He also lifted a stone lock, yelling to his father like displaying a prized treasure.

The man laughed out loud. He put down the stone locks and lifted up his son, letting him ride on his shoulders and starting to turn in circles.

The boy rode on his father's shoulders and giggled happily.

The sound of reading travelled over from a big house far away. Lin Feng walked over and saw that within the yard, a bunch of little kids sat on rows of small stools, properly putting their hands behind their backs and reciting poetry aloud together.

A man with the appearance of a teacher stood beside them holding a book in his hand.

The teacher read one line and then those children repeated after him. The man's deep, smooth voice and the crisp, tender voices of the children rose and fell, overlapping together.

A gentle woman in the house who seemed to be that teacher's wife was busy beside the stove. She stared at the rice pot sitting over the fire, occasionally turning her head looking at her husband and her husband's students, letting out soft laughter.

Lin Feng was silent: "These people are probably all survivors of Snowgale, the relatives and family of those Society of the Strong Gale cultivators.

Far away, that Shenwu field officer was hiding at the side and was also staring blankly at the scene before him.

His face was uncertain and he struggled in his heart: "General Wicked has monstrous bloodlust. If he finds these people, he probably won't care that these people are just mortals and will kill them all just the same. Should I…"

Suddenly, a wave of mana fluctuations attracted the attention of both Lin Feng and the field officer.

On the empty ground of a yard in a big house at the east end of the village, dozens of teenage boys were sitting cross-legged, cultivating and regulating their breathing.

In front of them stood a fire red girl. It was precisely Yue Hongyan.

Yue Hongyan raised her eyebrows as straight as two fine swords, she said: "This time there are a lot of Zhou dogs who came. In the most dangerous case, you guys also have to go to battle."

"If you guys don't cultivate diligently and increase your strength, how will you protect your families!"

The teens before her all didn't speak. They all cultivated diligently, but everybody seemed to have a fire burning in their hearts. They are bound by a common hatred for the same enemy, they're clearly just a bunch of growing kids, but their wills united like a fortress radiated a stunning aura.

The Shenwu field officer looked at this scene before him with a dark face. He closed his eyes: "Forget it…" Afterwards he took out a voice transmission crystal from his storage bag and was about to crush it.

This crystal can allow him to directly talk with General Wicked.

Right at the instant when he was about to crush the voice transmission crystal, black light flashed before his eyes and for a moment the world spun around him.

When this field officer returned to his senses, he was already in a dark space.

In the darkness, a young daoist wearing a white robe and daoist clothes slowly walked out. It was precisely Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked at this Shenwu field officer and shook his head: "Even though I don't want be a busybody, but since I've bumped into it I can't turn a blind eye."

Even though he regularly screws that crap out of people, Lin Feng has always persisted in believing that he is still a noble man, a pure man, a man with morals, a man who is above vulgarity, a kind hearted man.

As a good person, he must have the most basic heart of compassion and sympathy.

Even though he doesn't know what kind of character the commanding general of this Shenwu Army troop is, once the army invades the mountain, the people of this small mountain village will definitely suffer.

Lin Feng shook the Black Cloud Flag and directly kidnapped that Shenwu field officer.

The field officer's eyes flashed and he looked at the black space in the Black Cloud Flag: "A spatial type magic item, or an aurous core stage magic item?" Rapidly making a clear judgment, the Shenwu field officer put away the voice transmission crystal.

Facing the spatial obstruction of the Black Cloud Flag, even if he crushes the voice transmission crystal he is still unable to get in touch with the outside world.

Lin Feng was also observing him. He discovered that the field officer did not look flustered from being trapped and unable to communicate with others.

In fact, at this moment, the expression on this Shenwu field officer's face actually had a bit of relieved ease.

A thought appeared in Lin Feng's heart and he asked: "What is your name?"

That Shenwu field officer said calmly: "I am Dao Zhiqiang, Zhou Dynasty Shenwu Army vanguard, left wing brigade one captain."

Lin Feng nodded his head: "Who is the commanding Shenwu Army general this time?"

But this time Dao Zhiqiang did not respond and only quietly stared at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng glanced at him: "Besides your name, don't even think about getting any military intelligence from your mouth, is this what you mean?"

Dao Zhiqiang smiled: "You are a smart person."

Lin Feng shook his head: "Unfortunately, you aren't. If I really want to know something I would directly refine your soul. Do you think you can hide anything?"

"Then that depends on whether or not you have that ability." Dao Zhiqiang's expression slightly changed and he said heavily.

Lin Feng chuckled: "Loyalty? I've observed you for a long time, I can see that you don't actually want to pass back the information here to your superior?"

Dao Zhiqiang instantly fell silent. He lowered his head not saying a word.

"Think about what course you want to follow." Lin Feng waved his sleeve and directly left the Black Cloud Flag.

Lin Feng left and Dao Zhiqiang didn't have any thoughts of resisting or struggling. Instead he sat straight down and spaced out at the black void.

Seeing this, Lin Feng had an idea in his heart: "Looks like the commanding Shenwu Army general this time has very heavy bloodlust, to the point where even his own subordinates are worried about him slaughtering civilian mortals.

"This Dao Zhiqiang, even though he has the sense of discipline of a soldier, he also has his own thoughts." Lin Feng thought: "The Zhou emperor and the Marquis of Xuanji may be able to gather and drill cultivators into soldiers, but they are ultimately not a genuine army."

Cultivators who seek to be unrestrained and free, their nature contradicts that of the army.

Even if Dao Zhiqiang struggles, Lin Feng has absolute certainty that he can suppress him with ease. So he doesn't pay any attention to him and left him to his own devices in the Black Cloud Flag.

Lin Feng searched in the village for a short while and very quickly found a lone Society of the Strong Gale cultivator.

Nowadays Xiao Budian's technique of knocking people out from behind has already had faint signs of the student surpassing the teacher, but Lin Feng is after all the founder of this "school secret technique". He has a deeper grasp of the three word formula quick, accurate and ruthless.

The person is just a little qi disciple stage cultivator. With Lin Feng silently sneaking to behind his back, he was directly put down with one hit without even making a sound.

Smacking the back of his head and then not waiting for his body to slump down, Lin Feng had already swiftly supported his body and dragged him into a corner without any people.

Directly opening his storage bag, Lin Feng threw a couple of loose items all to the side, picking up a small wooden sword and closely examining it.

The workmanship of the wooden sword is very detailed. The material of the wood itself is not outstanding, but on the sword handle there is a small crystal the size of a grain of sand embedded into it.

Its size may be extremely small, but the crystal shimmered with light, shining like the dazzling stars at night.

"Galactic sand!" Lin Feng inhaled a deep breath. The little crystal embedded in the wooden sword is the galactic sand he's been looking for.

Even though there is only one grain of galactic sand, Lin Feng already knows that he's found the right place.

If every Society of the Strong Gale cultivator has a wooden sword like this, just the galactic sand on these wooden swords is already a considerable amount.

Lin Feng even had a guess in his heart.

These wooden sword magic items help the members of the Society of the Strong Gale distinguish the path in the Ancient Word Marsh. It lets them walk in the vast marsh that is enveloped in miasma, where the spiritual energy is chaotic and it's difficult for one's consciousness to have an effect. It very likely does not determine direction.

Instead these wooden swords are always pointing in one direction, and that is this stretch of desert, this lone mountain in this desert.

Then, what is the principle behind this wooden sword magic item?

Could it be that there is a massive galactic sand vein buried here, then after the galactic sand produced here is embedded in a wooden sword and then refined using a secret technique, it develops a special connection with the vein and points to the direction of the vein?

Thinking here, Lin Feng didn't hesitate anymore and activated the wooden sword with his mana.

The wooden sword spun around a few circles in the air and then stopped. The tip of the sword pointed in a direction.

Lin Feng followed the direction the tip of the sword was pointing towards and looked over. That place is the end of the village and moreover is behind the big house where Yue Hongyan is teaching those village kids dao techniques.

After going around the big house there was a pile of rubble. Dozen meter long boulders were randomly piled together like a small mountain.

Lin Feng went past the boulders and saw a pitch-black hole in the ground in the middle of the rubble.

Entering into the hole, Lin Feng instantly wrinkled his brow.

The spiritual energy within the hole is actually extremely pure. This made Lin Feng who's been in the Ancient World Marsh for nearly a month a bit unable to adapt.

But this is definitely not a good thing. Impure spiritual energy suddenly becoming pure is not something that can be done by a simple treasure or spirit stone vein.

It can only be under the effect of a certain great cultivator doing something or someone laying down a powerful formation here that the originally impure and chaotic spiritual energy can become pure and ordered.

And for Lin Feng, no matter which one of these two cases it is they are all not good news.

Lin Feng raised his vigilance and walked down following the tunnel.

After a while, the scenery in front suddenly lit up.

A light golden sand dune appeared in front of Lin Feng. Countless grains of sands sparkled brilliantly with a golden glow.

At the bottom of the dune, a stretch of desert was divided by a couple streams of water. The water flowed quietly and the sound of flowing water carried a strange rhythm that made people feel refreshed from listening.

But Lin Feng was increasingly more vigilant. These streams of water look random and divide the golden desert into scattered plots, but they vaguely form a massive sigil.

It is exactly this sigil that forms a profound spell formation that the spiritual energy in the hole became pure.

Lin Feng looked towards the tip of the sand dune, there was a person sitting there.

That is a white-clothed youth, he looks to be in very poor health and his face is pale. Even just sitting there, there is still cold sweat constantly appearing from his forehead.

But Lin Feng didn't dare to have the slightest thoughts of looking down on him.

Even if that white-clothed youth looks really weak like he is seriously ill, Lin Feng is entirely unable to see through the depths of his cultivation level.

But at the same time, Lin Feng can faintly sense that there is an intimate connection between the white-clothed youth, the golden sand dune beneath him and the water stream sigil formation.

Being able to control such a massive spell formation, he naturally isn't a regular person who's never cultivated before.

And yet, Lin Feng is unable to see through the depths of his cultivation level. That means there is only one possibility, the actual cultivation level of this white-clothed youth is far above Lin Feng.

While Lin Feng was pondering, the white-clothed youth suddenly opened his mouth.

"A cultivator of the Zhou Dynasty? To actually be able to sneak into here, Yue Hongyan and the others are becoming more negligent."

Finishing speaking, the white-clothed youth released a dry cough and the desert beneath Lin Feng's feet suddenly started to tremor.

"To think that you've snuck all the way to right in front of me, Yue Hongyan and the others are becoming more lax."

The white-clothed youth lifted his hand with great effort to wipe the sweat on his forehead and coughed repeatedly.

But at this moment, shocking mana fluctuations burst forth from his seemingly frail body, spurring the golden sea of sand beneath his body to vibrate violently.

Right now Lin Feng was still under the state of using the Shadow Sneak Technique and also has the system concealing his mana fluctuations. Theoretically speaking it's not easy for him to be discovered.

"I was careless." Right when the white-clothed youth opened his mouth to speak, Lin Feng knew in his heart that the situation was bad and subconsciously looked at the desert beneath his feet.

This golden desert evidently possesses very strong detection ability. The moment there are outsiders who trespass it will instantly sense it and let the white-clothed youth know.

Through these grains of sand, the white-clothed youth is still unable to see through the system's cover and is unable to sense the strength of the mana in Lin Feng's body, but he can clearly sense that someone has stepped on the desert.

An outsider has barged in but he was unable to sense it, this is already enough to say that there is a problem.

Thus the white-clothed youth instantly took action.

Limitless yellow sand rose up that was about to engulf Lin Feng.

Lin Feng slightly furrowed his brow. He shook the Black Cloud Flag and his entire body was wrapped up by a mass of black light. The black light flashed and isolated the sand on the outside.

"An aurous core stage magic item? But it's damaged, it cannot stop me." The white-clothed youth weakly raised his hand and slowly formed a spell sign.

A water arrow shot out from the stream dividing the desert and mixed together with the yellow sand. It instantly turned into a dark yellow cloudy stream of water and shot towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's mouth was dry. The white-clothed youth has yet to use his full strength but he has already demonstrated the powerful strength of an aurous core stage cultivator.

That cloudy dark-yellow stream of water actually easily broke through the the defense of the Black Cloud Flag's black light and charged straight towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's eyes flashed: "The grains of sand are heavy and condensed. Just one grain of sand weighs probably hundreds or thousands of kilograms. It can match giant mountain boulders, but it has been condensed and compressed to the size of a grain of sand. The number of grains of sand flying towards me this time is over tens of thousands!"

"The grains of sand are heavy but they were rolled up by the stream and the flexible change of water was mixed into it. The trajectory is unpredictable and difficult to dodge. Even if I do dodge, the stream will change direction and carry those thousand kilogram heavy grains of sand chasing over."

In this one move, the white-clothed youth flawlessly combined together the heaviness of earth and the flexibility of water. It truly is profound.

The Black Cloud Flag's defense being broken open, Lin Feng did not lose his calm. He still controlled the Black Cloud Flag's mana to hide his body, but he secretly undid the Heaven Cage Sigil sealing the taotie cub Tun Tun.

"What the hell is it this time?" Tun Tun screamed, but she could only once again helplessly take the bullet for Lin Feng, revealing her true form and difficulty devouring the dark-yellow stream of water.

"Ugh… Cough cough cough cough! I'm choking!" Tun Tun roared angrily: "Lin Feng you bastard, if you make me eat anymore of this random junk again I'll fight you to the death! Ouch, what the hell is this, it hurts like hell."

Lin Feng laughed in secret: "Be thankful that you have something to eat, at least I'm even regularly thinking of switching things up for you."

Tun Tun cursed incessantly while Lin Feng plugged his ears and once again used the Heaven Cage Sigil to seal Tun Tun.

"Bastard, sooner or later I'll devour you!" Tun Tun rolled her eyes. Right now she clearly has indigestion and her stomach hurts like crazy. Even without the Heaven Cage Sigil she can't cause any commotion for a while.

His spell was actually silently resolved by Lin Feng. A light flashed by in the white-clothed youth's eyes and his back that was arced due to pain slightly straightened.

Seeing this Lin Feng wrinkled his brow and said preemptively: "Are you injured?"

The white-clothed youth coughed dryly: "No need for you to worry. Whatever skills you've got just come at me, I Kang Nanhua will take it all on."

Lin Feng put away the Black Cloud Flag and revealed his body. He waved his wide sleeve and activated poser mode. He said proudly: "I never take advantage of anyone, not to mention bullying an injured junior like you."

The white-clothed youth Kang Nanhua raised his eyes and stared at Lin Feng without speaking.

The Lin Feng of the moment is wearing a wide-sleeved white robe and daoist clothing. His demeanor is noble and proud, calm and composed, he truly does have a bit of the appearance of a master outside of the mundane world.

He looked at Kang Nanhua and said calmly: "I don't have any connection with the Great Zhou Dynasty, you don't need to be so alert."

"If anything, there is even some friction between me and the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Kang Nanhua lifted his hand wiping the cold sweat on his brow and said slowly: "I am all ears."

Lin Feng said: "One of my disciples is the Great Zhou Dynasty Marquis of Xuanji Zhu Hongwu's son."

Kang Nanhua showed a sign of displeasure: "It seems like you are toying with me."

Lin Feng had a calm look: "If you knew that that disciple of mine nearly died by his father's hand you wouldn't think that."

A glint of realization flashed by in Kang Nanhua's eyes: "Half a year ago Little Hei and them tried to kidnap one of Zhu Hongwu's bastards and failed in the end. He was saved by Huang San of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji, but afterwards news came back that that bastard and Huang San went missing together."

"I remember that bastard's name was Zhu Yi, could it be that you are talking about him?"

Lin Feng smiled lightly: "One month ago in the forest at the southern border of the Great Qin Dynasty, I just killed the second steward under Zhu Hongwu, I think his name was Tao Er? He wished to do harm to my disciple so I got rid of him."

Kang Nanhua was silent. His eyes flickered and he was calculating something.

After a long while Kang Nanhua opened his mouth asking: "Then for what are you here?"

Lin Feng said openly: "I come here in search for a mineral called galactic sand."

Kang Nanhua asked: "How much do you need?"

Lin Feng was delighted in his heart: "There really is galactic sand here!" But Kang Nanhua asked him how much he needs, this question stumped Lin Feng. God knows how much galactic sand is needed to be able to restore that broken mirror?

After pondering for a moment Lin Feng asked tentatively: "Do you have one cubic meter?"

Hearing this Kang Nanhua knit his brow: "I can't give you that much."

Lin Feng slightly narrowed his eyes. This Kang Nanhua just said "I can't give you that much", and not "There isn't that much", that means he actually has more that one cubic meter of galactic sand on his hands, but he is unwilling to give Lin Feng that much.

Lin Feng's mind rapidly turned. He doesn't have any grudge with him, it honestly isn't worth it to engage in mortal combat. If he can obtain the galactic sand through a trade that would be the best.

While thinking, Lin Feng suddenly sensed something in his shirt move.

Lin Feng quietly checked it out and discovered that the object that produced a disturbance was nothing other than that stone flute that Long Ye gave to him that day.

Since half a year ago after Lin Feng obtained this stone flute he has frequently mulled over it, but he's always had no gains. It made him about to question whether Long Ye that demoness tricked him.

Yet, to think that it would suddenly have movement facing Kang Nanhua today.

Could it be that this sickly white-clothed youth in front of him is actually related to this stone flute?

Lin Feng quietly took out the stone flute and observed in secret. He discovered that there was actually a trace of a strange mana fluctuation slightly quivering from the stone flute.

That mana fluctuation spread out and came in contact with Kang Nanhua. Pain-ridden Kang Nanhua suddenly felt refreshed and he felt that his old wound that was like maggots attached to bone was actually a lot more relieved.

Kang Nanhua looked towards Lin Feng in surprise. Seeing his appearance, Lin Feng was also surprised in his heart: "This stone flute can actually heal his injury?"

Discovering this point, Lin Feng was a lot more relaxed in his heart. But he still didn't dare to be careless: "I have this extra bargaining chip in my hands now, bargaining again with him is a lot easier now. But this person is already so powerful while injured, if he fully heals his injury won't he be even harder to deal with?"

Thinking for a bit, Lin Feng decided to first do his best to figure out his background. He asked seemingly off-handedly: "You are also an adherent of Snowgale?"

"No, that is not the case." Kang Nanhua shook his head: "If you really have to say, I can actually be considered a citizen under the Zhou Dynasty's rule."

Lin Feng was a bit astonished. Kang Nanhua's eyes revealed a look of nostalgia: "My parents were both citizens under the Zhou Dynasty's rule. Before I started cultivating I also once studied hard and even got the Zhou Dynasty's xiucai." (TL: Back to Chinese imperial examinations. Think of xiucai as your bachelors.)

Lin Feng continued asking: "Then why are you instead opposing the Zhou army now? Your family died at the hands of a Zhou person?"

Kang Nanhua shook his head: "My parents both left the world without pain after they reached their natural lifespans.. I achieved success with my cultivation and even though I wanted to extend their lifespans, I ultimately failed. But they both enjoyed a lifespan of 100 years, there isn't anything to regret."

Lin Feng's eyes flashed: "There is your lover in this Society of the Strong Gale?" He thought of that chick who was like blazing fire, Yue Hongyan.

Putting aside her strong and upright temper, she really is a little beauty with devastating looks, definitely femme fatale level.

Kang Nanhua seemed to know what he was thinking in his heart. Hearing this he smiled: "You have seen Hongyan already? Hehe, I may not be against the feelings of men and women, but cultivating up until now I have still yet meet a woman who can move my heart, Hongyan included."

"Who the hell would believe you." Lin Feng secretly curled his lips and then asked: "Then for what are you helping the Society of the Strong Gale?"

Kang Nanhua said calmly: "One of the founders of the Society of the Strong Gale is Yue Hongfeng. Him and I are friends who sword to live and die together. Before he died he asked me to take care of and protect his compatriots, I agreed."

Lin Feng's pupils suddenly shrank, he eyes stared straight at Kang Nanhua.

Even though the white-clothed youth is tormented by pain and his entire face is dripping with cold sweat, his demeanor is calm and composed. He doesn't have any thoughts of complaining that this is too troublesome and he also doesn't have the pride of thinking himself a hero. He seems to just be doing something that is only a matter of course.

His voice is so calm, as though the matter of going against the Great Zhou Dynasty this kind of behemoth which is nearly impossible is as normal and rational as a person needing to eat and sleep.

Don't mention the Zhou emperor Liang Pan and the Marquis of Xuanji Zhu Hongwu these kinds of formidable giants, and don't mention the Shenwu Army this kind of killing machine, even the House of the Marquis of Xuanji's stewards, Tao Er and Huang San are also both aurous core stage cultivators on the same level as him.

Going against a force like this, he could die at any moment. But Kang Nanhua seemed to pay no heed at all to these dangers.

Even if he is already plagued by pain.

Everything is all just because he agreed to his deceased friend and made a promise, so he has to keep his promise.

No matter if the path in front is covered in thorns or is a mountain of swords and a sea of flames, I will definitely do what I've promised, even if it costs me my life.

Lin Feng looked at Kang Nanhua, for some reason a phrase suddenly surfaced in his mind.

"A promise made to a person is a promise kept for life!"

Lin Feng looked at Kang Nanhua. After a moment of silence he opened his mouth saying: "I might have some ways to deal with your injury, but I can't guarantee that you'll fully recover." While speaking, Lin Feng took out the stone flute.

A weak mana fluctuation travelled out from the stone flute again. It was pure and calm and difficult to discern its origin.

Kang Nanhua came in contact with this mana fluctuation and he instantly felt his entire body relax, even his pale white face became a bit more flushed.

"You are doing this for galactic sand?" Kang Nanhua furrowed his brow and said: "But I have great use for this galactic sand, I honestly cannot split out one cubic meter for you."

Lin Feng wondered in secret why Kang Nanhua values galactic sand so much.

"There is no need to worry about the matter of the galactic sand." Lin Feng shook his head saying: "As for this thing, I wanted to give it to you so I gave it to you. There aren't so many reasons, you don't need to think too much about it either."

"There is only one point. You cannot speak of the matter of me using this stone flute to heal you today, can you do that?"

Hearing this, Kang Nanhua was not overjoyed and also didn't hesitate or doubt him. He only very seriously pondered for a moment and then slowly nodded his head: "I can."

His every word was spoken extremely slowly, his voice was calm but it had a crushing weight to it.

Lin Feng smiled lightly: "Then it's fine." While speaking, he raised his arm and had already thrown the stone flute towards Kang Nanhua.

Kang Nanhua was slightly surprised. He didn't think that Lin Feng would so easily hand the stone flute over to him, or rather, he didn't that that Lin Feng was so confident.

He caught the stone flute and sensed the mana fluctuations within. It faintly resonated with his injury and was constantly healing his wound.

Kang Nanhua inhaled a deep breath and nodded his head to Lin Feng: "Thank you." He didn't make a fuss about it and immediately used his mana to communicate with the stone flute and heal his injury.

When Kang Nanhua's mana entered deep into the stone flute and channeled the mysterious power in the stone flute into his body, a change suddenly occurred to the originally mundane stone flute.

A fluffy, white, hazy light suddenly rose up from the grey, unassuming stone flute, projecting a mirage in the air above Lin Feng and Kang Nanhua.

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed and he stared straight at the mirage above his head.

In the fluctuation of the mirage, a couple of scenes flashed by.

Towering mountains shrouded by clouds. The sunlight came down and turned into a staircase towards the sky at the peak of the mountain, the staircase formed by sunlight went through to the nine heavens.

A cultivation abode was vaguely outlined in the void at the horizon, as if it was hidden in an endless space folded over itself.

"That place is a foreign space similar to the Void Battleground?" Lin Feng pondered in his heart: "Could it be the cultivation abode of a certain immortal? This stone flute seems to be the key to finding and opening the cultivation abode, this is probably the reason why Yan Mingyue and the Void Temple value it."

Kang Nanhua opened his eyes and his eyes shone vividly. Even though right now his face is still pale, at the least he isn't as weak as before, sweating profusely even just sitting on the spot.

"10 years ago I inadvertently discovered this great staircase in a mountain. I thought I had encountered an immortal and thus thought of climbing the stairs." Kang Nanhua stared at the mirage and muttered: "But who could have imagined that just stepping upon the first step, it was like I was struck by lightning and I was gravely injured on the spot."

"If it weren't for the fact that I was quick-witted and instantly retreated, I probably would have died right there."

Hearing this, Lin Feng instantly wrinkled his brow. Kang Nanhua is already an aurous core stage cultivator but was already gravely wounded after just climbing the first step. How powerful are the restrictions of this cultivation abode?

And what kind of a great master does it take to be able to create this cultivation abode and set up such terrifying restrictions?

The stone flute may be related to the cultivation abode, but can one walk on that great staircase depending on just that stone flute?

Kang Nanhua said slowly: "Since then there has been a mysterious force remaining in my body. Not only does it torment my body, it also damages my spirit. I may have kept my life by luck, but I was seriously injured, up until today."

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and asked: "Where is this mountain?"

Kang Nanhua shook his head: "I once carried thoughts of what if and felt that in order to untie the bell, the person who tied it is required. I was injured on the great staircase, maybe I could also find the method of recovery there? Of course, I was also a bit unwilling to give up. And so I returned back to the place to look for it, but that staircase constructed by sunlight had already disappeared."

"Afterwards I once went to search for it many times, but I had no gains. That staircase doesn't seem to be fixed at one location and instead drifts in the spatial turbulence, appearing at different places from time to time.

Lin Feng knows that Kang Nanhua is speaking the truth. Seeing the flickering cultivation abode within the mirage, he knows that this cultivation abode is indeed hidden in the void and drifts with the spatial turbulence.

Kang Nanhua exhaled a long breath of relief and revealed a smile for the first time since meeting: "Thank you for your generous help. I originally thought that this item could only ease and suppress my injury, but now it looks like I have hopes of a full recovery."

"That being the case, I don't need to use all this galactic sand anymore. Don't mention one cubic meter, even if you need more I can provide it to you." Kang Nanhua said generously and his two hands formed a spell sign together.

His body floated up into the air from the golden sand dune. The golden sand slowly split apart from the golden sand dune beneath and revealed what was buried under the ground.

Looking over, Lin Feng seemed to see a starry sky appear before his eyes. Countless stars twinkled with a dazzling glow.

Beneath the golden sand dune was surprisingly buried a tremendous amount of galactic sand.

Kang Nanhua explained saying: "Before I had old injuries and was unable to activate the Eternal River Quicksand Formation set up here. With no other choice I could only constantly refine this galactic sand and then depend on this refined sand to control the spell formation. Otherwise I would honestly be powerless to protect the members of the Society of the Strong Gale and their family here."

"Now with your aid, I have hopes of fully recovering. Even if I give all of the galactic sand here to you it's not a problem anymore."

Lin Feng stared at Kang Nanhua and didn't say anything for a long time.

Listening to what he means, if not that the stone flute can completely heal his injuries and cause him to no longer need to rely on tremendous amounts of galactic sand to maintain his strength, he would rather continue suffering the torment of pain than trade with Lin Feng.

In Kang Nanhua's eyes, maintaining his strength to protect those people of the Society of the Strong Gale and to keep his promise to his deceased friend is far more important to easing and suppressing the pain that has tormented him for 10 years.

Lin Feng was silent for a long time and then suddenly asked: "Is it worth it?"

Only after being stunned for a moment did Kang Nanhua react to the meaning of Lin Feng's words.

He smiled gracefully: "There is no worth it or not worth it, nor is there no noble or not noble. My heart and nature are so, I wanted to do so and so I did. If I really did fuss over the gains and losses, avoided trouble and went against my heart, I would instead develop inner demons. This is not beneficial to cultivating and is more harm than good."

"From a certain angle, I can also be considered to be doing this because I have no choice? Hehe, every person's path is different. I think this is the path that belongs to me so I continued walking down it."

Lin Feng nodded his head not saying anything more. The black light of the Black Cloud Flag swept over and had already scooped up a bunch of galactic sand.

Kang Nanhua didn't speak anymore either and closed his eyes silently operating his dao technique. He concentrated on communicating with the stone flute to heal his injuries.

In the Black Cloud Flag, Lin Feng first further crushed the galactic sand, making them become as fine as powder.

Afterwards he attentively filled the powder into the copper mirror's damaged locations and then infused his mana into it.

The copper mirror may be severely damaged and has injured its core, but it has a strong foundation and still harbours some spiritual energy.

Receiving the nourishment of Lin Feng's mana, this spiritual energy instantly became lively.

It's just that what was out of Lin Feng's expectations is that with his stimulation, the copper mirror seemed to have suddenly come alive. A strange force of suction was generated within the magic item and greedily devoured Lin Feng's mana.

Lin Feng may have been startled, but he was not flustered. While slowly retracting his mana, he was also attempting to establish a link with the copper mirror.

Following the infusion of Lin Feng's mana, the restoration of the copper mirror was virtually instantaneous. Just looking at the appearance one can notice that the copper mirror is recovering at a visible speed.

What made Lin Feng feel at ease is that he did not discover the copper mirror having its own conscious.

This means that even though the copper mirror is currently greedily devouring Lin Feng's mana, there is no one behind it and it is just a necessity for reparation.

To be able to cope with the loss of mana brought upon by repairing the copper mirror, one after another Lin Feng swallowed an entire bottle of Energy Restoration Pills that replenish mana like eating beans.

"Damn, qi disciple stage cultivators treat even just one Energy Restoration Pill as a treasure, it's just me who can restore a magic item like this."

When the Energy Restoration Pills were gradually about to be depleted, Lin Feng sensed that the copper mirror's speed of devouring his mana had clearly slowed down.

Lin Feng closely scanned the copper mirror. The damaged mirror surface has already been completely repaired, the bright mirror surface clearly reflected Lin Feng's figure.

The entire copper mirror has an archaic appearance. It is no different from a regular mirror and it made Lin Feng unable to help but have butterflies in his stomach: "Even though there is a saying that goes "Divine items hide their light" and good things will hide their own brilliance, they're all relatively low-key, but doesn't this look a little too ordinary?"

Seemingly protesting against Lin Feng's belittlement of it, following the completion of the reparations, a dark-yellow light lit up on the surface of the copper mirror. The word "Universe" faintly surfaced on the face of the mirror.

After the word "Universe" just appeared, a system notification rose up beside Lin Feng's ears.

"Host has successfully repaired the Universal Mirror, completed the random side quest Repair the Universal Mirror, 500 trading points rewarded!"

Lin Feng wished that he could throw back his head and laugh. Without any hesitation he immediately entered into the trading system.

Report chapter

Adding the remaining 700 trading points from before, Lin Feng who has now completed the Universal Mirror side quest has a total of 1200 trading points.

Without further ado, after Lin Feng entered into the trading system he instantly exchanged for the Heavenly Wind Daoist Scripture.

Looking at the main quest, in the dao technique creation system the black hole representing "Wind" had already lit up with white light. Lin Feng smiled: "There's still the last one."

Withdrawing from the system, he discovered that he had already used a lot of time to repair the Universal Mirror.

Using the stone flute to heal his injuries, Kang Nanhua had also already reached the final stage.

No signs of sickness could be seen on his face anymore. He was full of energy and powerful mana fluctuations spread out. Boundless golden sand and flowing water constantly spiraled around him.

After a long time Kang Nanhua opened his eyes. The mana fluctuations around him gradually calmed down and he smiled at Lin Feng: "It's all thanks to you that I was able to heal my injuries." He opened his palm, the stone flute that had already reverted back to its ordinary appearance again was lifted up by mana and brought in front of Lin Feng.

Lin Feng and him both are now already fully aware of the remarkability of the stone flute, but Kang Nanhua did not covet it. The moment his injuries were healed he handed it back to Lin Feng without any reluctance.

Lin Feng took over the stone flute and shook his head saying: "You don't need to be so polite, this place on the other hand is actually not safe. Since I can find my way here, the Zhou army will eventually find their way here one day too."

"If you really want to keep your promise to your deceased friend, you should think of a path of retreat as soon as possible. Take the adherents of Snowgale here and leave as soon as possible."

Kang Nanhua responded saying: "To tell you the truth I also have this thought. The main reason we stayed here not leaving is actually because I was injured and had to borrow the geographical conditions here to set up a spell formation to protect them. Now my strength has fully recovered, even though I can't talk big and say that I'll protect them perfectly, at the very least there is a lot more leeway now and we don't need to cling onto this place."

Lin Feng nodded his head: "Since you already have arrangements I won't say anything more. We part ways here, if luck brings us together again in the future maybe there can be a day where we sit and talk."

Kang Nanhua smiled saying: "With you blessing, I look forward to that day."

"Likewise." Lin Feng laughed out loud. He shook the Black Cloud Flag and his body turned into black light, flying towards the outside.

Lin Feng flew out of the hole and hid his figure not startling anybody. He used the Black Cloud Flag's spatial shifting ability and left the solitary mountain in the desert, reentering the Ancient World Marsh's marsh zone.

"Hm?" Lin Feng suddenly sensed something and he saw that inside of the Black Cloud Flag's interior space, that Shenwu field officer Dao Zhiqiang who was captured by him had once again taken out that voice transmission crystal.

But Dao Zhiqiang did not crush that voice transmission crystal to communicate with the outside world and instead stared in a trance at the voice transmission crystal in his palm.

A moment later, Dao Zhiqiang's eyes became focused again as though he'd made some sort of decision. He swung his arm and threw away the voice transmission crystal.

The voice transmission crystal landed in the Black Cloud Flag's rolling black light and disappeared out of sight. Lin Feng naturally can get it, but Dao Zhiqiang definitely can't recover it.

Throwing away the voice transmission crystal, Dao Zhiqiang seemed to have cast off a thousand pound weight. His spirit and appearance all became different, no longer repressed and instead bursting with spirit.

Lin Feng revealed his figure and asked: "You've made up your mind? If I didn't remember wrong, your action just now is the same as defecting from the Shenwu Army."

Dao Zhiqiang nodded his head calmly: "That's right, but just as that Kang Nanhua said, this is my heart and nature, I cannot go against it. I think doing this is the right choice and so I did it."

Speaking here, his expression was a bit somber: "Had it not been that the general in charge this time be General Wicked, I absolutely would not do so. But if General Wicked finds this place, everybody, no matter cultivator or mortal will die. This is something I am not willing to see."

Lin Feng said indifferently: "How you decide is your problem, just don't regret it in the future."

His consciousness retreated from the Black Cloud Flag and then he took out the Universal Mirror from his storage bag, Just now he felt an abnormality with the Universal Mirror.

Lin Feng's mana poured into the Universal Mirror. The surface of the copper mirror instantly lit up with a weak light and the mirror became no longer clear, like muddy water.

A bright yellow little dot of light appeared at the center of the dirt yellow mirror, and around the bright yellow light dot was distributed an entire circle of thickly dotted red light dots.

"What do these represent?"

Lin Feng's pupil's suddenly shrank and a bad feeling developed in his heart.

"The bright yellow light dot is at the very center of the mirror, this position should be my current position, or rather the Universal Mirror's current position." Lin Feng slightly frowned: "Then what should these red light dots represent?"

The sizes of the red light dots vary. There are few big ones, only a couple dozen, while there are at least thousands of the smaller red light dots!

Lin Feng looked towards the distance and expanded his senses to the limit. He saw that within the marsh's thick miasma fog there were actually countless human shadows vaguely flickering. They disappeared and reappeared and were encircling the desert lone mountain beneath Lin Feng's feet from all directions.

Lin Feng's heart instantly sank to the bottom, he already knows the identity of the newcomers.

The Great Zhou Dynasty, Shenwu Army.

The red light dots on the Universal Mirror are reflecting the existence of these people. The bigger light dots represent foundation establishment stage cultivators while the smaller light dots are qi disciple stage cultivators.

The Shenwu Army has already discovered the lone mountain where the members of the Society of the Strong Gale are hiding, thus their main force pressed in.

Lin Feng dragged out Dao Zhiqiang from the Black Cloud Flag. After getting a clear look of the scene in front of him, Dao Zhiqiang was extremely shocked: "I clearly didn't…"

"I know you didn't." Lin Feng directly cut him off. Dao Zhiqiang was in the Black Cloud Flag's interior space, his every movement was under Lin Feng's surveillance. Lin Feng naturally knows that he didn't pull any tricks behind his back.

Lin Feng looked at the Shenwu Army that was in battle formation and had already charged out from the fog. He asked Dao Zhiqiang: "The reason I called you out is to ask you how is the combat strength of this Shenwu Army troop and who is the leader?"

Dao Zhiqiang hesitated for a moment but still answered saying: "This is the Shenwu Army's forward brigade left camp, the forward brigade is the entire Shenwu Army's vanguard unit. They are the first to arrive in every battle and are the Shenwu Army's most powerful spearhead unit."

"The left camp I was in was originally just the flank of the forward brigade, it's not as strong as the forward camp. The forward brigade is the vanguard of the Shenwu Army, and the forward camp is the vanguard of the forward brigade. All soldiers of the forward camp are the cultivators with the richest fighting experience and the greatest proficiency in combat. Their average cultivation level is also a step above the other camps."

Speaking here, Dao Zhiqiang's face slightly paled: "But that is all the past. Not long ago the original left camp commanding general was convicted and demoted. The higher ups transferred the original forward camp commanding general to our left camp."

Lin Feng's expression did not change: "It's that whatever General Wicked you mentioned? His surname is Wicked, what about his name and master?"

Dao Zhiqiang shook his head hard: "His surname isn't Wicked, his entire name is only one word, and that is Wicked! Before he joined the Shenwu Army he was originally a wandering cultivator. Reportedly he is the cross-generational successor of the God Slaying School that was greatly feared for a time during ancient times but has now already died out."

"Rumour has it that General Wicked entered the path of cultivation through murder. He is a bloodthirsty butcher and I have never seen a cold-blooded and bloodthirsty person like him before. Anybody who he sees as an eyesore is killed by him. Don't mention cultivators, even the number of regular humans, women and children who have died by his hand is innumerable."

Dao Zhiqiang's face was deathly pale. He said slowly: "Attacking other countries in the past, the number of mortal cities massacred by General Wicked is counted by the hundreds. His current cultivation level may only be aurous core stage, but with his notoriety, he is hailed as the Shenwu Army's number one butcher."

Lin Feng inhaled a deep breath. He wanted to ask something more, but a wave of shocking murderous intent suddenly exploded forth from the Shenwu Army camp across from him.

"Just relying on a broken aurous core stage magic item you dare to pry on our army's battle formation? Cowardly scoundrel, die!"

Before the voice had died away, a pitch-black sword aura flew out from the void and stabbed straight towards Lin Feng who was in the sky.

The sword aura was as black as ink, harboring a terrifying aura of endless slaughter, death and destruction. It gathered the fiendish malevolent energy of countless dead souls, the sword aura that was like a door plank wanted to tear the sky asunder!

Lin Feng wanted to control the Black Cloud Flag to shift space, but he discovered that the surrounding space actually seemed to have been sealed. The Black Cloud Flag actually had no effect.

Alarmed, Lin Feng looked towards the Shenwu Army's battle formation. He saw that the mana of all 3000 Shenwu Army cultivators seemed to connect together as one. It was vast and enormous, seemingly without bound or limit.

The boundless mana was condensed together and soared to the heavens. It actually completely sealed the space around the desert lone mountain.

Even the miasma fog that has spanned for thousands of years in the Ancient World Marsh has to give way to it. A clear space was directly cleared out where the Shenwu Army's battle formation stood.

The Black Cloud Flag is unable to be used and that fiendish, bloodthirsty pitch-black sword aura has already arrived right in front of Lin Feng's eyes.

If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Report chapter

The sword aura is as black as ink and harbours an endless air of murder and death.

Facing this sword, Lin Feng felt as though he was facing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

He looked in the direction the sword aura came from and saw a well-built middle-aged man wearing heavy armour quietly standing at the very front of the Shenwu Army battle formation. He was like that sharpest point with the heaviest bloodlust at the tip of the sword, he brimmed with an unrivalled aura of power.

"Wicked?" Lin Feng's forehead slightly wrinkled. In the blink of an eye the 24 Heavens Arhat Formation was already laid down. Buddhist light and chanting surged, protecting Lin Feng in the middle.

Without any hesitation, the three fire arhats rose up above him. Acala's buddhist body appeared in the boundless sea of fire, releasing a beam of the Fury Flames of Acala that intercepted the pitch-black sword aura in mid path.

The milky-white little ember appears weak, but it destroys all in its path. In an instant it burned the pitch-black sword aura to a crisp.

The sword aura may have disappeared, but the thick killing intent and air of death lingered, turning into rolling black smoke that swirled in front of Lin Feng.

Wicked who stood at the front of the army battle formation didn't even move, he only slightly raised his eyebrow: "The Fury Flames of Acala? Sarira? A damned monk of the Great Thunder Monastery?"

He asked three questions in succession, but not needing Lin Feng to respond, Wicked's face suddenly revealed a smile: "Then you have to die too."

While speaking, Wicked suddenly took a step forward and the next moment, he vanished on the spot.

The highest level of alert went off in Lin Feng's heart and all of his hairs stood on end.

Behind him, a pitch-black sword aura as thin as an awn silently drilled into the buddhist light formation. It moved freely in the golden light haze like a swimming fish, rapidly piercing towards the center of Lin Feng's back.

The sword aura may be as small as a needlepoint or awn, but as long as it hits, it can completely destroy Lin Feng's body and soul in an instant. There is no way to survive!

The buddhist light may be unable to block the sword aura, but it let Lin Feng know at the first moment that someone is attacking him from behind.

Lin Feng wanted to dodge using the Cloud Dragon Escape, but he had a feeling that no matter how he dodged, the pitch-black sword aura as thin as an awn would always be right behind him like a maggot attached to bone, unable to be shaken off.

Under this sword, there is no road to Heaven and no door into the earth, all paths of survival have been sealed. You can only wait to die and receive this attack.

The sword art passed down by the ancient God Slaying School, the Heaven Defying Sword of Fatality!

Between the Heaven and Earth there is always a ray of hope. The number of the great expansion is 49 and is dynamic due to lacking one. (TL: There's a hella long explanation behind this that you really don't care about. Basically saying there is always room for some change, nothing is absolute due to the laws of the universe being incomplete and lacking 1.)

But the God Slaying School's sword technique forcibly goes against the heavens, annihilating all life and cutting off the ray of hope. It is a sword of absolute death, thus its name the Heaven Defying Sword of Fatality!

Lin Feng tightly knit his brow, he was startled but not flustered. The Acala buddhist body in the sea of fire in the air above his head shouted: "Buddha is merciful, but sometimes He also shows wrath, releasing eternal flames of fury, eradicating all evil, burning everything and all!"

With this shout, the milky-white Fury Flames of Acala shot out from the vertical eye at the center of the Acala buddhist body, turning into a hazy rain of fire and completely shrouding Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's body stopped abruptly. The pitch-black sword aura had already caught up and stabbed right at the center of his back, but it was blocked by the Fury Flames of Acala around Lin Feng's body.

Lin Feng snorted: "I've got you now." The Fury Flames of Acala originally blocking his entire body like a shield rapidly gathered at the center of his back, going all-out against Wicked's Heaven Defying Sword of Fatality.

After coming in contact with the milky-white ember, the pitch-black sword aura burst open and turned into a cloud of torrential black sword energy that shot towards Lin Feng.

The boundless sea of sword energy seemed to want to drown Lin Feng and then completely shred him.

The Fury Flames of Acala stopped his attack, but Lin Feng was unable to relax in his heart and his sense of danger instead became increasingly stronger.

Wicked's figure slowly rose up from the sea of endless sword energy. He walked towards Lin Feng step by step, monstrous killing intent virtually froze Lin Feng.

"So it's just a little qi disciple stage ant who obtained buddhist sariras by luck and refined them into magic items." Wicked said with a calm expression: "Okay then, now, praise me or else I will kill you."

Lin Feng twisted his eyebrows: "Praise you, is there something wrong with you head?"

"Of course not." Wicked said seriously: "I cultivate the ancient path of murder, only slaughter can increase my cultivation level, so I constantly kill people. I've killed too many people, killing to the point where I've become numb, lost and tired of it."

"Only by obtaining the praise of others after I kill people do I feel like killing has regained meaning again. So, now, praise me!"

Lin Feng grinned: "So there really is something wrong with your head, taking you too seriously is my fault."

Wicked shook his head: "Are you not willing, then you can die now."

Before his voice had died away, the sword at Wicked's waist was finally unsheathed and stabbed straight towards Lin Feng.

The limitless black sword energy in the air all disappeared at this instant. All of it gathered on Wicked's sword and stabbed towards the center of Lin Feng's brow.

At this moment in front of Lin Feng's eyes, the tiny tip of the sword filled his entire vision, becoming nearly infinitely big.

At this moment, the sword tip the size of a grain of rice was the entire world. Nothing else could remain, only this sword.

No path to retreat, nowhere to run!

Lin Feng laughed. In the first place the Fury Flames of Acala is an offensive ability, using it to defend is a complete waste. Facing Wicked's sword, Lin Feng decided to give up on defending himself and all of the Fury Flames of Acala went to attack Wicked.

Wicked completely ignored it and only focused on stabbing straight towards the center of Lin Feng's brow.

Even if he is killed by the Fury Flames of Acala he has to first kill Lin Feng!

The path of absolute death is one of pure offense, not leaving a way out for the enemy nor himself. It's either your death or mine, this is the Heaven Defying Sword of Fatality!

Going against the heavens, severing all chances of survival!

Lin Feng's expression finally changed. He can clearly judge that compared to his Fury Flames of Acala, Wicked's sword is faster.

If they go head-on against each other, the result will definitely be him having a hole poked in him first by this Heaven Defying Sword of Fatality.

At this critical moment, Lin Feng was instead even more calm. His mind communicated with the 24 Heavens Arhat Formation and at the same time his mana instantly converted from the Art of Acala to the Kṣitigarbha Sutra.

The 24 sariras forming the formation are all the spiritual remains of the eminent monks of the Great Thunder Monastery. In life, three of these great buddhist cultivators practised the Art of Acala, so Lin Feng unleashed the Fury Flames of Acala with these three sariras as the core.

Now under the trigger of Lin Feng's Kṣitigarbha Sutra mana, one arhat light figure amongst the 24 arhat light figures instantly reacted.

The other 23 arhat light figures simultaneously chanted a buddhist prayer. They all turned into golden buddhist light and rushed towards that arhat light figure, fusing into his body.

This golden arhat's entire body shined brightly. The light was not glaring and was as yellowish and heavy as the earth.

The golden arhat's appearance gradually changed, turning into the appearance of a bodhisattva holding a jewel in the left hand, carrying a staff in the right and sitting on a lotus.

The Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva form!

"If the hells are not empty I will not become a Buddha. Only when all living beings have been saved, will I attain Bodhi." (TL: Just google Kṣitigarbha and read up on him/her yourself.)

The distant buddhist chanting seemed to come from the horizon, but also seemed to come from the nine hells.

The Kṣitigarbha form combined together as one with Lin Feng's body, turning into a gilded buddhist body.

The Gilded Kṣitigarbha Body!

Lin Feng had just formed the Gilded Kṣitigarbha Body and saw that the tip of Wicked's sword was only three inches away from the center of his brow. His killing intent was monstrous and the cold air from the sword froze Lin Feng's entire body. He was unable to move and the situation was extremely dangerous.

"Clang!" With a crisp ring, Wicked's sword had already touched the center of Lin Feng's brow. But it was unable to pierce through and was stubbornly withstood by Lin Feng's Gilded Kṣitigarbha Body.

Even though Lin Feng felt a stinging pain at the center of his brow and the powerful force made his brain virtually a jumbled mess, but against Wicked's sword of absolute death Lin Feng defended against it using the Gilded Kṣitigarbha Body.

The course of the entire event was a close call!

Not succeeding with one attack, Wicked's figure turned into a complete blur, going around Lin Feng's body he instantly stabbed out hundreds of thousands of times. All of the vital points on Lin Feng's body were stabbed by Wicked.

As the world famous top-tier defensive ability of the Great Thunder Monastery of the past, it withstood the test, taking on Wicked's thousand sword assassination and not breaking.

"Besides the Fury Flames of Acala he also has the Gilded Kṣitigarbha Body?" Wicked wrinkled his brow. He suddenly sheathed his sword and retreated. His body flickered and he had actually already fallen back to the front of the army battle formation.

Lin Feng did not relax and instead became even more vigilant. This bloodthirsty lunatic in front definitely wouldn't do something like retreating in the face of difficulty. Abnormal behaviour often means a fiercer and more brutal wave of attacks.

Landing in front of the army formation, Wicked raised his sword. His entire being combined together with the mana of the 3000 Shenwu Army cultivators. The monstrous killing intent skyrocketed and virtually swept over the entire area.

Seeing this scene, some information about the Shenwu Army suddenly flashed by in Lin Feng's head.

"Crap, it's the Shenwu Immortal Slaying Formation!"

The Shenwu Immortal Slaying Formation, rumors say it was created by the Marquis of Xuanji Zhu Hongwu. It is a compulsory course for the cultivators of the Great Zhou Dynasty's Shenwu Army. It gathers the mana of multiple low-level cultivators at one point, infusing it into the body of the commanding general thereby causing the commanding general's strength to have a qualitative leap.

The method is similar to how some sects raise dao soldiers. They use special formations to unite the numerous sect members who practise the same dao technique as one. As long as there are enough low cultivation level disciples, matched with the formation they can go against opponents with much higher cultivation levels than them but with fewer numbers.

And after going through the Marquis of Xuanji's improvements, the Shenwu Immortal Slaying Formation is even more domineering and profound. It can actually combine the mana of cultivators who practise different dao techniques to form the formation.

This Shenwu Immortal Slaying Formation is the Great Zhou Dynasty's ace weapon of destruction. At the very least it is formed by 100 people, at the most it can link together the entire Shenwu Army's tens of thousands of cultivators as one.

In the battle of the elimination of buddhism in the past, it was the entire Shenwu Army's tens of thousands of cultivators who formed the most powerful Shenwu Immortal Slaying Formation of all time, fighting hard for numerous days and nights and blasting open the Great Thunder Monastery's protective formation, the Vairocana Formation. (TL: The almighty wikipedia.)

If not so, the number of allied cultivators who would have died in front of the Vairocana Formation would at least need to be doubled.

Currently there naturally can't be tens of thousands of cultivators under Wicked's leadership forming the formation and providing mana to him, but the power of 3000 people is still sufficient to boost Wicked's strength to an unimaginable degree.

Even if they're all qi disciple stage, 3000 cultivators by themselves are a powerful force. Yet, now they are focusing everybody's mana together, amongst them there are even dozens of foundation establishment stage cultivators coordinating and commanding.

So upon seeing Wicked lay out the Shenwu Immortal Slaying Formation, Lin Feng didn't have any hesitation and dashed backwards without even turning his head.

No shit, with 3000 people, if they line up and take turns punching him he'll still be flat as a pancake after he's healed. Not to mention the power of 3000 people is focused in one attack, furthermore there is Wicked this aurous core stage cultivator leading the group. Only an idiot would fight with him.

"You lunatic, you can't deal with me 1v1 so you bring your bros to gang up on me." Lin Feng was extremely irritated: "If you want to gang up on me then whatever, but all of a sudden bringing 3000 people to gang up on me alone, could you be even more shameless?"

What made Lin Feng even more anxious is that the Shenwu Immortal Slaying Formation has actually sealed the surrounding space. He is unable to use the Black Cloud Flag's spatial shifting ability to leave this place. With this he can be considered to be trapped in a dead alley.

Seeing Lin Feng turn into a streak of black light and escape, Wicked was not in a hurry. The blade of his sword slowly pointed towards the lone desert mountain that the members of the Society of the Strong Gale occupied. He laughed saying: "Nobody can escape, you all have to die."

Where his sword pointed to, endless killing intent and hostility gathered. The miasma fog above the lone mountain was already scattered clean, revealing the dark and gloomy sky. Dark clouds covered the sky, weighing down on people making it difficult to breath.

The movement created by the Shenwu Immortal Slaying Formation naturally also startled the members of the Society of the Strong Gale on the lone mountain. Facing the threat of the Zhou army, everybody's hearts were heavy.

Lin Feng controlled the Black Cloud Flag, flying back to the lone mountain and silently hiding inside.

"Why did you return back?" Dao Zhiqiang asked in puzzlement.

In the battle with Wicked before, Lin Feng used the Black Cloud Flag to cut-off Dao Zhiqiang's and Wang Lin's perception of the outside world. So they don't know what just happened.

Hearing Dao Zhiqiang's question, Lin Feng naturally won't tell him that if it weren't for the fact that he ran fast, he would have been locked onto by the Shenwu Immortal Slaying Formation's energy flow. At that he wouldn't be able to run if he wanted to, he can only wait for death.

On the contrary, under these circumstances, Lin Feng is even more calm and composed: "Why didn't you report the intel here back to Wicked before? The reason I came back is the same as yours."

Dao Zhiqiang nodded his head and then said with worry: "The 3000 people of the entire forward brigade left camp are all here and have laid down the Shenwu Immortal Slaying Formation. It's also General Wicked who is controlling it, they can even fight a nascent soul stage cultivator."

Lin Feng fully agreed in his heart, but on the surface he just smiled indifferently and appeared enigmatic.

"Holy mother of Jesus, even if I fed all 24 sariras to the War God Golem it probably still wouldn't work. The enemy isn't using simple human wave tactics, it truly is a qualitative change induced from quantitative change.

While thinking, Lin Feng entered into the mountain. He evaded the Society of the Strong Gale cultivators coming and going in haste, passing straight through the village and headed towards where Kang Nanhua was underground.

He remembers that Kang Nanhua said before that he laid down some Eternal River Quicksand Formation here. Even though he doesn't know the exact power, hearing Kang Nanhua's tone of voice it is definitely a large scale high level formation.

Lin Feng entered into the hole, but saw that there were already a couple of people standing inside. Hearing movement they all turned their heads around.

The person at the front had a beautiful appearance. She wore a body of red clothes, her crimson hair like fire and two fine eyebrows like two killing swords. Glaring with a pair of large beautiful eyes it was precisely Yue Hongyan.

Lin Feng's eyes flashed. Beside Yue Hongyan, a black-clothed man with a long scar on his face was also an old acquaintance. It was precisely that foundation establishment stage cultivator of the Society of the Strong Gale who kidnapped Zhu Yi that day in Tianjing City.

Seeing Lin Feng, the black-clothed man instantly furrowed his brow, even the scar on his face pulsated: "What the hell are the people outside doing?"

Yue Hongyan released a low humph: "Cut the crap, take him down first!" While speaking, the six foot black light halberd was already raised in her hand.

At this moment Kang Nanhua said: "Hongyan, Little Hei, stop."

Yue Hongyan didn't turn her head, she still stared straight at Lin Feng and opened her mouth calling: "Mister Kang!"

Kang Nanhua said: "This daoist means no ill will, it's also all thanks to him that my injury was able to be fully healed."

Hearing this, Yuen Hongyan and the Society of the Strong Gale cultivators present were all stunned. Their gazes looked back and forth between Lin Feng and Kang Nanhua in surprise.

That black-clothed man couldn't hold back saying: "But the Shenwu Army outside?"

"A wooden sword might have fallen in the hands of the Zhou army." Kang Nanhua released a low sigh. Afterwards he looked towards Lin Feng: 'If he wanted to do you guys harm, why would he help me heal my injury? Not to mention, his strength is only higher than mine, you guys are no match for him."

"You guys all already know about the situation outside?" Lin Feng coughed dryly. If he doesn't use the War God Golem, he doesn't have the confidence to defeat Kang Nanhua.

Kang Nanhua nodded his head, his expression solemn: "An aurous core stage cultivator leading a whole 3000 people. They've already formed the Shenwu Immortal Slaying Formation."

He turned his head looking towards Yue Hongyan and co: "The Shenwu Immortal Slaying Formation has sealed the surrounding boundary space. We can't go out, we can only fight and make plans of retreating from here after repelling the enemy."

Yue Hongyan and the cultivators of the Society of the Strong Gale all nodded their heads with grim faces. Yue Hongyan turned around and gave some instructions to the couple of Society of the Strong Gale leading figures behind her. These people all nodded their heads in compliance and withdrew from the tunnel together.

They are going to arrange for shelter for the mortal relatives in the village and to direct the members with fighting ability to make preparations for the final resistance.

Yue Hongyan looked towards Lin Feng, she raised her crimson red eyebrows: "Why did you leave and then return? Could it be that you also can't deal with the Shenwu Army outside and need to take shelter in Mister Kang's Eternal River Quicksand Formation?"

In his heart Lin Feng said, "You're right doll.", but on the surface he naturally won't admit to it.

He didn't speak either and only chuckled. He then turned his face away, looking like he couldn't be bothered to answer Yue Hongyan's question.

Yue Hongyan slightly furrowed her brow, the remaining few Society of the Strong Gale cultivators also revealed expressions of discontent.

That black-clothed man blocked in front of them and whispered: "Mister Kang will handle everything." Yue Hongyan turned her head glancing at Kang Nanhua and nodded her head not saying anything.

Right at this moment, Wicked's voice travelled over from outside the mountain. His voice was calm and cold: "It's practically like a nest of ants hiding in an ant nest. Just looking at it makes me sick, go die all of you."

A wave of bloody and wild mana fluctuations started vibrating. It was precisely the conception of power of the ancient God Slaying School's characteristical path of murder, but the power is countless times greater than when he was fighting Lin Feng before.

Outside of the lone mountain, the Shenwu Army of 3000 had formed the battle formation and stood menacingly on the desert land in front of the lone mountain. Near endless mana was poured into Wicked who stood at the front of the battle formation and their killing intent dashed to the skies.

This Shenwu Immortal Slaying Formation was like a peerless sword of evil, slowly coming out of the scabbard wanting to slaughter all of mankind and dye the world in blood.

And Wicked, is the sharpest point of this evil sword.

His sword pointed at the sky and a change instantly occurred to the overcast sky.

The dark clouds covering the sky started spinning, slowly forming a massive vortex. At the eye of the vortex, ominous light flashed in all directions. The massive tip of a sword as pitch-black as ink slowly extended out from the eye of the dark cloud vortex.

That sword tip was virtually half the size of the peak of the lone mountain. It harbored the brutal conception of powers of great terror and great slaughter. A regular mortal would instantly die upon coming in contact with just the terrifying bloody aura.

The tip of the sword pointed straight at the one mountain, poised to strike!

Deep within the mountain, Lin Feng and co could still clearly sense the terrifying conception of power outside of the mountain.

Right now Kang Nanhua has fully recovered. He rose up and stood on top of the golden sand dune, but his expression was very serious. He muttered to himself: "The crux of the matter is to see who gives in first."

His two hands rapidly changed spell signs and the golden sand dune beneath him slowly started shaking. Countless grains of golden sand floated towards the air. An endless flow of sand went around Lin Feng and co and floated outside of the hole.

Boundless golden sand flew straight out of the mountain, landing in the desert land at the foot of the lone mountain and mixing together with the gray sand on the desert, dotting it with golden light.

Lin Feng who witnessed this scene understood in his heart: "This golden sand is all sand that Kang Nanhua refined using his mana. It is powerful but the quantity is ultimately limited, thus he let it all out to lead the regular sand outside."

"Just like having trained a bunch of officers and now he is placing them in the basic troops to lead the recruits."

Outside of the lone mountain Wicked naturally also saw all of this. He laughed coldly: "They also laid down a large-scale formation here?" Finishing speaking the sword in his hand pointed from a distance.

The massive sword point at the eye of the dark cloud vortex in the air roared out of the clouds with a shrill whistle, shooting down at the lone mountain like a doomsday disaster.

Lin Feng's heart tightened. This Wicked is also an accomplished fighter, his fighting experience is incredibly rich. Not waiting for Kang Nanhua to finishing setting up his formation, he instantly started attacking.

But Kang Nanhua was not anxious. His formation was already set up a long time ago, right now he's just activating it.

His two hands changed spell signs again and the flowing water mixed together with the golden sand, turning into a stream of dark yellow water. It flew out of the lone mountain and assimilated into the vast marsh in the Ancient World Marsh.

"Boom!" With a loud crash like a flood breaching a dam, the marshland at the edge of the lone mountain's desertland all exploded. It linked together with the golden sand spread over the desert before and turned into a mudslide that was like a torrential flood that flooded towards the lone mountain.

The Ganges Quicksand Formation!

The holy water of the eternal river flows endlessly, nurturing all life in calmness, flooding the world when roaring.

Kang Nanhua secretly sighed: "My Secret Records of Quicksand is just a fragment of the Eternal Ganges Quicksand Incantation. I can only unleash the power of the first level, 'The Change of Quicksand'. If I could use all of the abilities and transformations of the formation I would be able to destroy this Shenwu Immortal Slaying Formation before us."

The surging mud turned into a monstrous wave that charged upwards.

"Rumbleee!"

At the same time, the lone mountain standing above the desert sank without stop into the ground while accompanied by continuous rumbling.

The boundless black and yellow muddy quicksand actually flew up into the air, forming a massive loop in the air that flowed endlessly. It enveloped that lone mountain that was gradually sinking into the earth and of which only a small hill remained.

The river of time rushes forward without stop, unstoppable and irreversible.

Kang Nanhua's Ganges Quicksand Formation revealed this kind of steadfast, never faltering conception of power.

The massive pitch-black sword descended from the dark clouds, heavily cutting on the dark yellow Ganges water. It was hindered by the muddy quicksand and was unable to advance forward.

The flowing mud sand bumped into the massive pitch-black sword and constantly wore down the malicious mana harboured within.

His attack was obstructed, but at the front of the Shenwu Immortal Slaying Formation Wicked's face revealed a smile: "Victory is forever unable to be obtain by passively defending. You've lost this battle!"

He shouted aloud. The Shenwu Immortal Slaying Formation's aura once again climbed. The mana of the 3000 cultivators gathered together, turning into a massive black column of smoke visible to the naked eye. It soared up to the nine heavens and continuously poured into the dark clouds.

The power of the massive pitch-black sword that stretched out from the dark clouds became increasingly deeper and condensed. That monstrous killing intent also seemed to have become a lot fainter, but it was even more terrifying. Because this killing intent runs even deeper and is more restrained, once it explodes it will certainly be even more violent and savage.

Presiding over the Ganges Quicksand Formation, Kang Nanhua was the first to notice the changes within. The massive pitch-black sword's downward momentum was originally already stopped, but at this instant its power suddenly further increased and actually had signs of gradually breaking through the Ganges Quicksand Formation.

Even though the speed was extremely slow, virtually to the point where it was imperceptible, the massive pitch-black sword once again started descending.

Bit by bit, step after step, it looked like it was faltering and struggling, but it carried an unstoppable air. No matter how Kang Nanhua pushed the Ganges Quicksand Formation, he was unable to stop the massive pitch-black sword's momentum of descent.

Kang Nanhua's expression was very grave. The Ganges quicksand may be constantly sweeping over the massive pitch-black sword attempting to wear down the power within, but its speed is so slow that it can virtually be ignored. Towards the crisis before them it is just a drop in the bucket.

In the belly of the mountain, Lin Feng may not be able to see the scenery outside, but seeing Kang Nanhua's expression he knows that the situation is not good.

The Ganges Quicksand Formation borrows the Ancient World Marsh's world power, theoretically speaking it should be in an invincible position. But in the first place the formation that Kang Nanhua learned is incomplete, secondly the Shenwu Immortal Slaying Formation is truly too domineering.

3000 cultivators combined their power and poured all of it into Wicked. In addition, Wicked's Heaven Defying Sword of Fatality is super strong and actually has signs of breaching the Ganges Quicksand Formation.

Human power ultimately has its ends. It falls short of the endlessness of the power of the world. If things drag on for a long time, the victor will certainly be Kang Nanhua.

But with 3000 people unleashing all of their power in an instant, it is possible to breach the Ganges Quicksand Formation first before they exhaust their energy.

Now Lin Feng understands why Kang Nanhua said before that the crux of the matter is seeing who gives in first.

If the Ganges Quicksand Formation fails first and is breached by the enemy, then naturally everything is over. If the Ganges Quicksand Formation holds on and exhausts the mana of the 3000 Shenwu cultivators outside first, then these Shenwu soldiers are all fish on the chopping board at the mercy of the Ganges Quicksand Formation.

Lin Feng secretly furrowed his brow and thought: "But looking at the situation right now it's clearly Kang Nanhua who will give in first."

"What should I do?" Lin Feng thoughts rapidly turned.

At this moment, the massive pitch-black sword's sharp killing intent was already about to be unable to be suppressed. Endless sword energy burst forth. It was just like the crushing winds above the nine heavens and was constantly cutting at the mountain body that was still revealed on the surface.

In front of the sword energy, the hard mountain rock was as fragile as tofu. Lines after lines were cut out on the mountain.

In the belly of the mountain, the earth trembled and the mountain swayed. Broken rock constantly fell down and massive rocks directly crushed the houses in the village turning them into ruins.

Kang Nanhua's face that had originally regained its rosy glow once again turned pale at this moment.

"Host's disciple Zhu Yi has obtained the Thunder Element Sigil, Host has successfully completed the random side quest, rewarding one lottery chance!"

Lin Feng was dazed for a moment before recovering. He said in his mind: "The little punks did not disappoint!"

Although the reward for completing this side quest isn't a fixed amount of trading points but a lottery chance.

"Art of the Turbid Waves, Art of the Turbid Waves……" Lin Feng chanted the dao technique that he is lacking in his heart and entered into the lottery system.

The wheel system… Nothing!

The dice system… Also nothing!

"….." Lin Feng's chest tightened and he almost cursed.

The Shenwu Immortal Slaying Formation's offensive is growing increasingly heavier. At the deepest part of the belly of the mountain, Lin Feng could also feel violent vibrations and the Ganges Quicksand Formation looked like was about to give in.

Kang Nanhua pressed his lips together unyielding. He didn't say anything and only supported the formation with his full power.

A hint of despair flashed across in the eyes of Yue Hongyan and co and was then replaced by unparalleled resolve and an unyielding spirit.

Lin Feng's palms were already sweating, he rapidly thought in his heart: "What should I do now, exactly what should I do? Exactly… Wait a second!"

Suddenly lifting his head, Lin Feng's eyes stared straight at Kang Nanhua: "Please God don't be wrong!"

This Kang Nanhua's dao technique, the Secret Records of Quicksand should also meet the requirements for "Lake", right?

Usually it is undoubtedly very difficult to scheme for such an aurous core stage cultivator's dao technique, but the current crisis has created conditions for Lin Feng.

Danger is always accompanied by opportunity.

Lin Feng inhaled a deep breath and silently straightened his appearance. He then calmly opened his mouth asking: "Fellow Daoist Kang, the dao technique you practise doesn't seem to be complete?"

At this time everybody's hearts were all in their mouths. With Lin Feng's sudden interruption, everybody instantly felt uncomfortable. With Yue Hongyan at the head they all glared at Lin Feng.

The more critical the times are, the calmer Lin Feng is. He still had a calm and relaxed appearance. He didn't look at Yue Hongyan and co who were glaring at him and just stared at Kang Nanhua.

While directing the formation Kang Nanhua nodded his head.

Lin Feng said: "This Secret Records of Quicksand of yours, I vaguely remember seeing the complete version somewhere. Although I can't confirm yet, I wonder if you can let me see it and let me compare them?"
