Chapter 129: The Heaven Revolving Purple Clouds

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor:

The elusive Mountain Yujing had finally appeared in front of Lin Feng and the rest. However, this white jade-like spiritual mountain was enshrouded by a protective dense purple gas.

At the peak of Mountain Yujing, you could barely see the silhouette of a Treasure Tree which looked like a sapling. But if you would take a closer look, it gave off the feel and aura that it could shelter the entire land under the sky.

Such a harmonious coexistence of two conflicting feelings radiated a mystical aura.

"Master, is this where you wanted to bring us?" Xiao Yan gazed at the peak of the Mountain Yujing which was still enshrouded in a dense cloud of purple gas.

Lin Feng had previously split them up to locate Mountain Yujing but he would never reveal to his disciples that even he himself was unaware of the exact location.

He only made it known to the four of them that it was intended as a little test to let them locate the entrance to the mountain. Now that Xiao Yan had asked him about this, Lin Feng would of course not reveal his intentions.

"Correct, this mountain is Mountain Yujing. It is our home. How is it? Do you all like it?"

Xiao Yan recovered from his amazement and exclaimed, "That is of course! It is amazing!"

Wang Lin swallowed his saliva as he was also left speechless.

Zhu Yi took a deep breath before reciting, "White Yujing high up above the sky, Twelve stories and Five cities… This place can really be described as a place for the gods in the realm of mortals!"

Xiao Budian just kept on cheering in joy as he gave the Feilian a pat before shooting straight up towards Mountain Yujing.

Lin Feng did not stop them from flying up as he watched thoughtfully.

Just when the Feilian neared the cloud of purple gas, it seemingly collided into a wall-like obstacle.

Instinctively, the Feilian shook the four people on it back off. Despite being unprepared, Xiao Budian and the rest stabilised their body very quickly.

The Feilian also became alert and it no longer dared to go near the purple gas as it went around to pick up the four of them before retreating decisively.

"Master?" The four of them look at Lin Feng in a puzzled manner.

Lin Feng had an expression which emanated composure. Actually, he had taken advantage of the period of time when the four of them were thrown off the Feilian to execute the Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm. Simultaneously, he had also used the Heavenly Cage Mantra to acquire bits of the purple gas.

This purple gas was very light just like the usual smoke and mist but for some strange reason, the Heavenly Cage Mantra was unable to seal it in. The purple gas could easily corrode Lin Feng's mana and escape from the light prison.

However, the purple gas was not malicious and after escaping from the Heavenly Cage Mantra, it simply assimilated back into the sea of purple gas like how a droplet returns to the ocean.

"How mystical… But so domineering at the same time. Even the Self-Engulfing Theurgy which the Immemorial Mythical Beast Taotie Tuntun inherited was unable to put up a fight against the Heavenly Cage Mantra. Lin Feng furrowed his eyebrows as he thought about how powerful the purple gas was.

The purple gas might have escaped but Lin Feng managed to make good use of the short amount of time to use the Abhijna Analytic Device to analyze the gas.

Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds, also known as the Solar-Revolving Origins Gas, was created along with Heaven and Earth. It came along with the birth of Heaven and does not possess any aggressiveness. However, it has both the ability to perform birth-like transformation and the ability to reject anything.

Lin Feng finally knew how the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds could escape from the Heavenly Cage Mantra so easily. At the moment it came into contact with the Heavenly Cage Mantra, it transformed itself into an origins form which was similar to the one of the Heavenly Cage Mantra, and hence was able to cheat the Seal.

The Heavenly Cage Mantra had treated it as part of itself and hence did not attempt to keep the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds within it.

On the other side, the situation which Xiao Budian and the rest met with earlier was a display of the rejection ability that the Purple Clouds could do.

Facing the look of confusion on the faces of his four disciples, Lin Feng smiled gently, "What's going on? Giving up after a little setback?"

"Previously when I asked you all to look for this mountain, it was merely a warm-up." Lin Feng looked up and smiled. "The real test has only just began."

"The purple gas in front of you is actually called the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds, also known as the Solar-Revolving Origins Gas. It came along with the birth of Heaven and Earth." Lin Feng explained. "This gas has both the ability to perform birth-like transformation and the ability to reject anything. "

Lin Feng waved his hand, "Go ahead and try. Your options are not limited. Whoever that can overcome the rejection by the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds and ascend Mountain Yujing will be specially rewarded.

Xiao Yan and the rest were very much attracted by his offer but none of them moved right away without deliberation.

After listening to the introduction given by Lin Feng, they have learnt that the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds are not something to be underestimated.

Xiao Budian was the first to make the move as he leapt onto Feilian immediately and cheered, "Feilian, lend me a hand."

Feilian grinded its teeth and it started to give off a green glow before two pillars of tornadoes appeared in mid-air. They started to collide with one another to form a gigantic wind blade.

Xiao Budian used his left hand to form a hand-sign and endless hurricanes started to encircle around his right hand. He then swung his hands forward to combine his attack with the Tornado Cut.

However, this combination of attack amounted to nothing as not even a single ripple was formed in the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds.

When the wind blade slashed at the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds, it was like the waves hitting onto the shore at the beach. The waves were simply disintegrated instantly and the shore remained as always.

"It seems like attacking blindly would not be possible after all." Zhu Yi shook his head as he unsheathed his sword. He utilised his Taoist technique to call upon the natural elements to charge up his sword.

Zhu Yi and the sword became one and like a single laser beam, he shot straight through and into the space enshrouded by the Heaven-Revolving Purple Gas.

Xiao Budian and the others started to cheer. Even Lin Feng became excited at the sight of the success of his disciple.

But it was too early to be happy as just as Zhu Yi had entered for no more than three feet, he immediately felt the resistance increased exponentially. The surrounding Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds were like waves that convened to sweep him away. They did not injure but only threw Zhu Yi out.

Zhu Yi did a somersault in the air before landing on the back of the Feilian. A serious look formed on his face as he felt hopeless against the powers of the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds.

Xiao Yan raised his brows before extending his right hand. He activated the Crash of the Eight Trigrams as stacks and waves of destructive forces surged towards the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds.

Lin Feng's eyes flashed as he reminded his disciple to be careful.

Xiao Yan heard the reminder from his Master and realised that the previously docile Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds have become fierce and aggressive in the face of the Crash of the Eight Trigrams.

The Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds transformed into a humongous wave and swept towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's Crash of the Eight Trigrams was indeed powerful as it actually managed to overcome bits of the Purple Clouds though it would be insignificant if we were to consider the total volume of the Purple Clouds.

But because of this, it also enraged this massive being.

In the face of the ferocious attack from the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds, Xiao Yan was shocked and quickly recovered the mana from the Crash of the Eight Trigrams for self-defence. He converted the mana into the Eight Trigrams: Sin Destroyer to protect himself.

But before the Purple Clouds even reached him, Xiao Yan found his vision blurred as the Purple Clouds which were very near him suddenly became very far away.

He looked around him and found himself in mid-air a distance away from both Mountain Yujing and the sea of Purple Clouds. He also found himself far from Lin Feng and the rest.

"Stop the Crash of the Eight Trigrams." Lin Feng's voice rang next to his ears. Xiao Yan quickly abided and stopped the technique and before he knew it, he had been teleported back to Lin Feng's side via the Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm.

And at this moment, the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds regained their previous docility.

Lin Feng glanced at his four disciples before asking, "Do you all know what just happened?"

Wang Lin replied softly, "The Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds is the origin of all matter and would definitely be a strong advocator for creation and life. However, Big Senior's Crash of the Eight Trigrams is force of destruction which threatens the harmony of life. Because of this fundamental contradiction, they will hence be at loggerheads.

Xiao Yan nodded his head and validated the reasoning of his junior.

As he continued to ponder on this matter, he could not help but feel a chill down his spine. Xiao Yan realised that if Lin Feng had not teleported him away in time, His Eight Trigrams techniques could have delayed the attack from the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds but would only end up in further enraging the Purple Clouds.

Lin Feng smiled, "Do not be anxious. Take it slowly. Your Master's prize would not be earned that easily."

The four disciples looked at each other and broke into a smile before bowing, "We will definitely put in our best."

The Feilian fetched the four of them and circled around the Purple Clouds. The four of them no longer went to challenge the clouds individually and instead actively discussed on methods to overcome the Purple Clouds.

Regardless of who gets the reward in the end, the pressing issue at hand is to solve this difficult conundrum. With regards to how they would distribute the prize, it would be a problem that they would discuss later.

They were all clear about the challenge at hand.

Lin Feng watched as his four disciples went on and continued in their brainstorming on how to breach this impregnable fortress.

After the four of them left his sight, Lin Feng revealed an expression of despair.

"It is also time for me to put in some effort and destroy this obstacle. I have to breach the defence of the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds in order to reach Mountain Yujing."

Chapter 130: The Genesis of All Beings

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor:

This sea of Purple Clouds was just like the Almighty Celestial Destroyer Formation, which was commanded by General Zhongxie back in the Great Swamp of the Ancient Regions. It basically contained and sealed off the internal space from the rest of the world.

Lin Feng had tried both the Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm and the Black Cloud Flag but to no avail. He was still unable to be transported through space to beyond the obstruction of the Purple Clouds.

Lin Feng frowned as he stared at the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds. "Seems like I have to keep thinking about how to breach these purple clouds…"

Everytime he came into contact with the Purple Clouds, Lin Feng would be rejected and denied by it.

After some pondering, Lin Feng lifted his palm and aligned his five fingers to form a blade-like shape, before making a slashing motion towards the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds.

The Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds shook upon the impact but his action was still unable to split the defence apart.

But Lin Feng was surprised by this as he had realized that he was able to gain some insight and inspiration from the Clouds when it came to perfecting his second Spell.

The Purple Cloud's ability to isolate and deny anything, from a certain perspective, was very similar to Lin Feng's spell.

Lin Feng continued on this line of thought, "This should not only be restricted to spells. Even the Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams would probably be perfected with the insights gained from the Cloud."

When Heaven and Earth was created, the clearest and most pristine of gases would naturally rise and the unwanted and most adulterated of gases would sink.

The Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds was definitely one of the clearest gases that rose up to the ceiling of the Heaven when Heaven and Earth were created. Hence, it naturally possessed an aura which was beneficial for creation and recreation.

As Lin Feng continued to mull over the inspiration and insights gained from his short encounter with the Purple Clouds, his understanding of vacuum and space improved by leaps and bounds.

Understanding how difficult it was for such opportunities to come by, Lin Feng sat on the Black Cloud Flag without any hesitation and began to meditate while facing the Purple Clouds.

Previously, Lin Feng had already succeeded in building a Spiritual Altar upon the Aura Sea, attaining the level of Foundation Establishment.

For Lin Feng, the next stage would be to emplace a Crucible upon the Spiritual Altar. Once the Crucible had been casted into shape, Lin Feng would be able to attain the final levels of the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Aurous Core Stage would be within sight.

However, the process of casting the Crucible is not an easy feat. It would take a remarkable amount of effort and concentration to craft a good Crucible.

Previously because of the reward from the system, Lin Feng managed to build the Supreme Spiritual Altar. But this did not imply that he would definitely be able to craft a Supreme Crucible. It could only mean that he had a better chance at acquiring it then a cultivator with a First Class Spiritual Altar.

The improvement in the abilities between a cultivator in the middle and the final levels of the Foundation Establishment Stage was not large. However, the importance of the quality of the Crucible was beyond question.

The quality of the Crucible would affect the quality of the Elixir. A high-quality Crucible would affect the chances of the formation of the elixir as well as the quality of the Elixir.

And that is why Lin Feng did not dare to treat the matter lightly. He immediately seized the opportunity the moment he realised that the contact with the Purple Clouds would be beneficial for his training.

What Lin Feng needed to do now was to open up the connection between the Heaven and himself.

The connection which was being discussed here, was not really about being able to know one's destiny or the prophecy for mankind but rather being able to feel the spiritual energy in our world and the awareness of the transition from order to chaos since the birth of the Heaven and Earth.

Once a cultivator who was in the middle level of the Foundation Establishment Stage had opened up the connection between the Heaven and himself, he would then be able to visualize the shape and form of the Crucible which belongs to him.

With the form and shape in mind, one would then compress his or her mana to form the exterior of the Crucible and then emplace it above the Spiritual Altar. Once these are completed, one would then attain the final level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Crucible Level.

The connection between one and the Heaven was a very peculiar transitory stage which even the System was unable to provide much of an assistance to Lin Feng.

That was because this stage would require one to comprehend the greater art of Tao and medicinal assistance would be futile. Even the past experience and wisdom of any predecessors would also be pointless and not meaningful.

Hence, many cultivators were stuck at the middle level of the Foundation Establishment Stage as they were unable to establish the connection between Heaven and themselves, spending decades trying to form the Crucible but to no avail.

Some people would spent decades on cultivating but still found themselves stuck at the middle level. Some would only take single flash of inspiration to complete this transitory stage.

Since attaining the middle level. Lin Feng had tried hard to open up the connection multiple times but to no avail.

Now, with the inspiration from the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds, Lin Feng was able to gain some form of insight and started to find himself establishing some form of connection.

Initially, the connection was poor and the visualization of the Crucible was blurry and unclear. But slowly, a small black crucible started to form in the darkest corner of this imaginary space. It had the colour of the purest black one could ever imagined. One could feel his or her soul being absorbed into the Crucible just from staring at it.

In Lin Feng's sea of consciousness, a small black Crucible floated quietly. Despite being an illusory sight, the design and every single line on the Crucible was as clear as it could get.

The Crucible might look simple as there was no light that was emitted from any part of the Crucible. However, it emanated a desolate and dignified aura which gave away the image of the rebirth of life after catastrophes.

Lin Feng's mind was focused as he remained emotionless. He mobilized all the mana in his body and began to compress them to form the shape of the little black Crucible which he had visualised.

Just as how Rome was not built in a single day, Lin Feng took his time and focused his mana onto every single part and component of the Crucible.

First, he would refine and strengthen the bits of mana. After a good thousand round of this repeated process, every single bit of mana to be invested into the crafting of the Crucible had become extremely pure and strong.

After this, he would begin with the shaping of the Crucible by using the refined mana.

He started with the four different legs of the Crucible. The solid form of the legs were the result of the compressed refined mana and as time progresses, slowly but surely, the body of the Crucible began to take form.

This transformation from metaphysical to physical might be slow and in fact hard to be seen by the naked eye but it never stopped and continually moved from the bottom of the Crucible to the top.

Lin Feng sat on the Black Cloud Flag with both of his eyes closed and ignored the changes in his external environment. He understood the enormity and importance of this task and was not ready to be distracted by his surroundings nor prepared to take any shortcuts..

If one wanted to be ahead of the rest, one must be able to bear with the loneliness and put in the effort. Since he was already on the path of cultivation, Lin Feng has decided to walk further on this path than anyone.

He strongly believed that one should either put in his best or not start with the task at all.

In the meantime, Xiao Yan and the other three had returned twice but they did not dare to interrupt Lin Feng who was cross-legged in deep meditation.

They were still unable to overcome the Purple Clouds and hence, were embarrassed to report to their Master.

However, all four of them were determined and disciplined individuals. Seeing how Lin Feng remained silent, they became even more determined to overcome the obstruction of the Purple Clouds using their abilities and enter Mt. Yujing.

After much time, Lin Feng's Crucible was about to take shape.

With the investment and injection of the mana, the Crucible formed with a "rang" sound. Lin Feng's soul and body were both shaken by the sound.

The casting of the Crucible was finally done and it landed onto the Spiritual Altar slowly. The moment when it had finally landed, a huge glow was emitted.

Amidst the colourful glow, a powerful aura emanated. It was the Supreme Crucible!

It would only be days before he attained the Aurous Core Stage. And it was also very likely that he would be able to cultivate the Golden Elixir which would be the cream of the crop.

Lin Feng opened his eyes slowly below revealing a grin, "Mother Nature really holds a lot of secret to cultivation."

He looked at the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds before smiling, "Thank you so much for your guidance."

Lin Feng continued with a few more breathing exercises to stabilise the foundation of his Taoist power before standing up to feel his newly gained power.

Because he borrowed the assistance of the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds, Lin Feng now had a deeper understanding of the Purple Clouds. In fact, he had also developed some hypotheses on how the Purple Clouds work.

Lin Feng paused for a moment before taking out the Heaven and Earth Mirror.

The Heaven and Earth Mirror flashed before his eyes and a pillar of golden ray soared upwards straight into the depths of the sea of Purple Clouds.

To his amazement, the golden ray managed to part the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds, creating a sizeable gap.

"It seems like my hypothesis was correct. The Heaven and Earth Mirror does share a special relationship with the Purple Clouds." Lin Feng smiled and nodded his head as he looked at the Heaven and Earth Mirror in his hand.

"It seems like this mirror might be more important than I thought..."

Chapter 131: Central Wutu Divine Light

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor:

The Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds that had been shone upon by the earthly yellow light emanated by the Heaven and Earth Mirror began to retreat while churning.

While churning, the violet cloud and the yellow light merged to form a single entity, a mirage akin to a small new world.

In that mirage, there were traces of the primordial powers of creation.

Lin Feng was struck by a thought, as he lowered his head to look at the Heaven and Earth mirror, "The pure and impure auras, while the pure aura rises up and become the sky the impure air sinks and become the earth. Hence, this is like the formation of heaven and earth."

"If the Heaven Revolving Purple Cloud rises into the sky to become the pure aura, then the yellow light by the Heaven and Earth Mirror would similarly sink and become and the impure aura."

The yellow light produced by the Heaven and Earth Mirror combined with the Heaven Revolving Purple Cloud to cause the purple cloud to dissipate and retreat.

At this point, Lin Feng had already understood. Without hesitating, he used his internal mana to force out the yellow light produced by the Heaven and Earth mirror to combine with the Heaven Revolving Purple Cloud.

Where the yellow light hit, the purple light gradually went away and formed with the yellow light a mirage world.

Lin Feng took this opportunity to enter the entrance formed by the passing of the purple light. With the Heaven and Earth Mirror opening the road, everything flowed smoothly.

However, Lin Feng's heart was sinking as he realized that the yellow light from the Heaven and Earth Mirror was becoming increasingly weaker and it was taking longer to combine with the purple light.

The enormous amount of purple light began to fill in the gaps left by the dissipated purple light

Regardless of how Lin Feng tried to use his internal mana, he was unable to reverse the decline in the weakening of the yellow light emitted by the Heaven and Earth Mirror.

"This is terrible, the power of the Heaven and Earth mirror is limited but the Heaven Revolving Purple Light surrounding Mount Yujing is too big." Lin Feng looked at Mount Yujing, surrounded by a sea of purple clouds. There was still a great distance between him and the mountain.

Lin Feng was not even a third into the entire purple cloud sea.

The yellow light from the Heaven and Earth Mirror was becoming increasingly weaker. Eventually, it disappeared.

From every direction, the infinite Heaven Revolving Purple Cloud came in again. While it did not hurt Lin Feng, it pushed him out.

Looking at the newly-sealed purple cloud, Lin Feng gritted his teeth in anger. He raised the Heaven and Earth Mirror, and communicated with it telepathically.

"Central Wutu Divine Light... Is this the name of the earthly yellow light?" Lin Feng's heart thought. "Wutu Earth, indeed it's related to the earth, only that its power is too weak. Could I increase it?"

Here, two spots of light suddenly appeared on the Heaven and Earth Mirror.

In the center of the mirror a dusk-coloured light appeared. As per previous instances, it represented Lin Feng's current location.

Not far from the yellow light, a red spot of light shone. The red light was especially strong, and it jumped as if it had a life of its own.

Lin Feng's eye brightened, "Maybe it's hinting to me to search for a particular object? The red light represents the object. Perhaps the object could increase the power of the Central Fifth Earthly Divine Light?"

While thinking, a system tip sounded suddenly in Lin Feng's ears.

"Owner initiated the task of searching for the Central Wutu Divine Light."

Lin Feng was slightly stunned as he entered the system to read the task description.

Task search, Central Wutu Divine Light.

Task background: The Heaven Revolving Purple Cloud activated owner's treasure, the Central Wutu Divine Light from the Heaven and Earth Mirror. Currently, the Central Wutu Divine Light from the Heaven and Earth Mirror is relatively weaker. To increase the power of the light, one must find an Earth type object and use its aura to enhance the mirror.

Objective of the task: The owner must obtain sufficient high quality Earth type spiritual items to cultivate the Central Wutu Divine Light to a certain level.

Duration of task: 10 days, should time limit be exceeded the task would be forfeited.

Looking at the system's instructions, Lin Feng scratched his head. "A certain level? Who knows what does your certain level mean? My standards are not high, as long as you can help me break through the Heaven Revolving Purple Light surrounding Mount Yujing." With that, Lin Feng followed the instructions given by the mirror and flew toward the red light.

500 li west to Tianjing, the capital of the Great Zhou Empire, the Black Clouds Earth Palace's entrance had been placed under tight security.

A small squad of cultivators from the Divine Martial Army were standing guard there.

The commanding officer of the squad sat with his knees crossed on the floor, silently meditating.

The cultivators under his command, however, were listless and bored. Not only was guarding such a dilapidated palace a boring and unglamorous task, they also had to worry whether the Unholy Blood River would burst its banks and come flooding.

Suddenly, a blast of mana shook in the sky above and the clouds dissipated. An armor-clad general dropped down from the sky.

The commanding officer hurriedly stood up while the other cultivators from the Divine Martial Army maintained a serious demeanour to welcome the new arrival.

The newcomer's body pulsates with mana. He was undoubtedly a Golden Elixir stage cultivator.

After he saw the newcomer's face more clearly, the commanding officer was shocked, "General Chen, you are not detailed for duty today. So why are you here?"

General Chen said lightly, "I can't stop worrying about the Unholy Blood River, so I decided to go down again."

"General Li had just inspected the blood river." The commanding officer's gazed at the general. "He just left, and you should have met him, didn't you see him?"

General Chen swept him with his gaze, "This isn't something you should be asking."

The commanding officer lowered his head. "Sorry general, please forgive me."

General Chen stopped, and his gaze fixed upon the commanding officer briefly. His emotionless face suddenly displayed a trace of a smile. "You are a cultivator, could you please be different from those ordinary soldiers?"

"Those who are too committed and serious would die the fastest."

The commanding officer's face drained. He wanted to crush the spiritual talisman hidden in his hand, but he realized he lack the strength to move a single finger.

With great difficulty he turned his head, he then realized that his subordinates' faces were pale and emotionless, as if they had been drained of blood.

"You are not General Chen, General Chen would have known that General Li wasn't on duty today." The commanding officer said with much difficulty.

"General Chen" smiled briefly. Tiny droplets of blood began to appear on his face. Soon, his whole face was filled with blood.

The blood flowed down along his face and in an instant his face became clean again, but it had changed completely.

A young but pale face appeared. His features were plain, save for a pair of blood red eyes that were extremely shocking.

The armor he wore on his body also melted in a bunch of blood before disappearing. His body was now clad in a blood-red robe.

The young man in the blood red robe smiled, "I really did not want to kill you, especially since the Zhou Emperor Liang Pan and the Marquis of Xuanji, Zhu Hongwu, are not meant to be lightly offended. However, since you want to act smart, I have no choice but to kill you."

He paused, and smiled, "I really don't want to kill you because your mastery is too low. You don't have a drop of quality blood. Killing you brings about no benefit."

The commanding officer wanted to say something, but as he opened his mouth blood flowed from it non-stop. He could only feel his body getting colder and life leaving it.

The young man in the blood-red robe sniffed his nose, and the two tiny mists of cloud appeared in the air. He inhaled them.

"That's why it's too weak," the young man in the blood-red robe said while shaking his head. His target was the subterranean Unholy Blood River.

When he reached the lake where the blood river flowed into, the blood-red robed youth lightly inhaled. The pungent odour of the blood river which was unbearable to many appeared to be extremely fragrant for him. He sighed in admiration, "The taste of the blood river is always intoxicating."

Saying that, he looked at the Unholy Blood River beneath his feet, and smiled, "Isn't that right, Liu Yang?"

From the Unholy Blood River came a great vibration of mana as countless bubbles rose to the top of the river. The blood river churned like boiling water.

"Tang Ze, are you here to mock me?" A voice brimming with urgency came from the river.

Tang Ze, the young man in the blood-red robe, laughed before jumping into the Unholy Blood River. The corrosive mana of the Blood River Primordial Water appeared to have no effect on him, instead it appeared to have strengthened him.

Tang Ze dived to the bottom of the blood river where a ball of light shone dimly as it resisted the corrosive effects of the Blood River Primordial Water.

Within the ball of light a sword disciple in green sat cross-legged with his sword upright and barely supporting against the weight of the river. His face twitched while his expression was frantic.

This was the person whom Lin Feng has tricked to clog up the blood river, hence trapped by the blood river: the sword disciple of Mount Shu Liu Yang.

Looking at Tang Ze, Liu Yang's face was joyless. He said dully, "What do you want, Tang Ze?"

Tang Ze said smiling, "To save you, of course."

Liu Yang raised his eyes at him, "You are so kind?"

"Of course...not!" Tang Ze said slowly and deliberately. "Saving you has its benefits I suppose."

"What do you mean?" Liu Yang arched his eyebrows and asked.

Tang Ze looked at him and said slowly, "Recently there's a Taoist called Lin, he's been really active recently. Some people aren't happy with him and would like to deal with him."

"Can you provide any information of value?"

Tang Ze looked at him and said slowly, "Recently there's a Taoist called Lin, he's been really active recently. Some people aren't happy with him and would like to deal with him. Can you provide any information of value?"

Liu Yang was stunned. "The Taoist Lin?"

Tang Ze smiled and said, "How could not know who's your opponent up till now? The person normally wears a white robe, and is dressed from head to toe like a Taoist."

Liu Yang's face turned dark immediately and his face turned green. He gritted his teeth.

Tang Ze continued, "Some one saw him take in the son of the Marquis of Xuanji as a disciple. On that day, some stateless people from the Blizzard Land kidnapped his son and brought him here. The Marquis of Xuanji sent his men here in pursuit but they were completely wiped out."

"After a few months, the second manager of the Xuanji Household, Tao Er, was killed in the southern mountainous regions of Great Qin by the Taoist Lin." Tang Ze gave Liu Yang a look. "On that day, all who entered the Black Cloud Earth Palace were killed and used to clog up the Unholy Blood River. Only you remained unfound."

"I know you. How could it be that you would sacrifice yourself to seal up the blood river. You were probably forced, or tricked..."

"I fell for the little bastard's trick. I wasn't careful for a moment, and hence I ended up here."

"Little bastard?" Hearing the derogatory tone Liu Yang adopted when speaking about Lin Feng, his heart stopped. "Perhaps this fool really know some secrets," thought Tang Ze.

Here, Tang Ze said smilingly. "Regardless, I'll take you out of here."

Liu Yang arched his eyebrows. "Your Mantra of the Blood Demon may be an offshoot of the True Spell of the Blood River, but it may not be possible for you to control the Blood River Primordial Water right?"

Tang Ze nodded his head, and said while smiling, "Thus, I would require your Nine Blood River Banners. To be frank, I have to thank you for getting rid of my annoying disciple. Without his incessant chatter, the world is quieter."

Liu Yang humphed, and he watched Tang Ze prepare the incantation to retrieve his Nine Blood River Banners.

"Rise!" From the tips of Tang Ze's fingers emerged nine dark coloured blood droplets, which entered the respective blood river banners.

The Nine Blood River Banners changed shape and spread wide to form a new formation. Miraculously, the managed to stop the Blood River Primordial Water.

"While I don't practice the orthodox True Spell of the Blood River, this here is nothing more than a small tributary of the Unholy Blood River." Tang Ze shook his head with regrets. "However, to replace you, I can't bring back the Nine Blood River Banners."

Liu Yang looked at him sideways. "You would care whether the blood river floods and rushes to the surface?"

Tang Ze shrugged his shoulders. "I don't care about other places, but here is too near to the capital of the Great Zhou Empire. Saving you won't raise so much commotion."

"However, to allow the blood river to flow out, two particular person in Tianjing would want me dead. Between the two of them, they can kill me easily. Actually, they don't even need to use their skills. There are so many people who could kill me there."

Liu Yang sighed, and he merged his body with his sword to form a single ray of sword light. He charged up and out of the Unholy Blood River.

After being trapped under the blood river for almost a year, Liu Yang did not look well. His temperament was erratic. What made him more depressed was the fact that his Divine Sword, which was used to resist the corrosive powers of the blood river, had been tainted by blood. He can't imagine the amount of effort it would require to clean it.

Tang Ze smiled, "It has been corrupted by the Blood River Primordial Water. Even if you head back to Mount Shu it would be hard to clean"

Liu Yang suddenly turned his head and glared at him fiercely.

Tang Ze did not care so much. His face was filled with a mischievous smile. "Since I was entrusted with bringing you out, I have already prepared myself for your sorry state after a year's imprisonment in the blood river."

"I have prepared items to help you clean off the dirty blood, follow me."

Liu Yang's eyes shone. "Only one of the Six Great Primordial Water can completely cleanse one off the pollutants of the Blood River Primordial Water, the mother of all water which could transcend all creation, and that's the One Heavenly Primordial Water. You have it?"

Tang Ze spoke as he walked, "Nope, but the person who entrusted me with saving you has it. Follow me."

Liu Yang's eyes turned to slits and he said nothing. Unhesitatingly, he followed behind Tang Ze.

The two of them flew westward for thousands of li before descending into a quiet little valley. Tang Ze led the way with Liu Yang following close behind. The two of them walked into the valley.

"It appears as if you could not respect the Taoist Lin?" Tang Ze unknowingly swept Liu Yang with his gaze. "Other than you, an elder from the Intense Flaming Sword Sect, a member of the Yu Family, the second manager of the Xuanji Household Tao Er and a disciple from the Great Thunderclap Temple, Hui Kong, had all lost to him. All of them were in their Aurous Core stage."

"Tao Er and the member of the Yu Family died horrible deaths."

Liu Yang was stunned, and he said, "That's impossible! A Qi Disciple Level 10 bastard couldn't have defeated so many Aurous Core Stage cultivator?"

Tang Ze's eyes sparkled, "Qi Disciple Level 10? Are you sure?"

"Of course!" Liu Yang said unhesitatingly. "Had I not fallen for his trick earlier and got trapped by the Unholy Blood River, I wouldn't even need my little finger to destroy him; a single breath would do."

He looked at Tang Ze sideways, "Those people, did they fall for his trick?"

Tang Ze shook his head, "No, they were all killed in full view of everyone in a face-to-face fight." He paused, then added, "Tao Er, the Yu Family household member and Hui Kong the disciple of the Great Thunderclap Temple were killed by him in a three-versus-one fight. In the end, two of them were killed on the spot and one of them was captured alive."

Liu Yang was shocked beyond words, and he muttered non-stop, "Impossible, that's completely impossible..."

After listening to Tang Ze's recount, Liu Yang breathed a sigh of obvious relief, and said, "It's a puppet. It's obviously an extremely powerful puppet. The little bastard got lucky. I don't know how did he cultivate the puppet, but he used it to defeat the three Aurous Core stage cultivators."

"Without the puppet, he's nothing." Liu Yang said solemnly. "I'm sure that the bastard's mastery in the earth palace was only at Level 10. Even if he did manage to improve tremendously in the past one year, he should still be in the Foundation Establishment stage, not even at the Spiritual Altar stage."

Tang Ze nodded his head lightly, as he agreed with Liu Yang's analysis on Lin Feng's rapid improvement in mastery.

Achieving Foundation Establishment from Qi Disciple Level 10 would require unparalleled genius.

Of course, the precondition was that Lin Feng must be like what Liu Yang had said, possessing only Qi Disciple Level 10 a year ago.

Liu Yang nodded his head. "I can't be wrong. He must possess some secret spell to mask his mastery level from external scrutiny. However, once we force his hand, his true powers will be made known."

At this point, a clear voice suddenly sounded from the mountain valley.

"If that's the case, then things will be easier."

Liu Yang and Tang Ze jumped into the valley. Between the mountain creeks stood a youth in white who was smiling at them.

"Oh, it's you Chen Gang," Liu Yang said, surprised. "So what? Does your Great Void Sect have beef with him too?"

Chen Gang, the disciple of the Great Void Sect, smiled lightly. "He's just a jumpy little clown. Too bad he liked to bounce around a little too much. He disrupted Senior Pang's carefully laid out plans. Hence, I'm following Senior Pang's instructions to get rid of him."

Chen Gang looked at Liu Yang, "I've long suspected this person's cultivation. After hearing your words, my heart is clearer."

"I have a way to defeat his puppet," Chen Gang said slowly. "However, earlier on when he was in the Great Swamp of the Ancient Regions, he used a never-seen-before spell formation to kill an army of 3000 Divine Martial Army soldiers led by a Aurous Core Stage cultivator. He took their Almighty Celestial Destroying Formation and won."

Liu Yang and Tang Ze looked at each other in shock.

The three of them together could not even match an Almighty Celestial Destroying Formation formed by 3000 cultivator soldiers and led by a Aurous Core Stage cultivator."

Liu Yang said unbelievingly, "How could this be possible?"

"This had already happened, so there's nothing impossible about it. I witnessed it myself." Chen Gang said. "The problem is, that time, the Taoist Lin did not personally attack them."

"Thus, my guess is, the crux of it lies with his formation map. His power may not be high, but he possessed some powerful object." As Chen Gang spoke, he made an incantation with his hands. "If it's indeed a puppet, I'm not worried. But for the spell formation, I need to seek help from my senior."

Chen Gang waved his hand and the water from the creek jumped up to form a round circle. It hovered in the air; it was about as high as a person.

The light at the centre of the circle turned white as water droplets vibrated non stop. After a while it calmed, a reflection of a young man can be seen.

The young man's face was clear, bright and handsome. He wore a white robe and his body appeared as light as air without any hint of edginess, like a gust of clear breeze or a drop of clear stream water. Only his eyes, akin to twinkling stars in the night sky, sparkled brightly; his gaze appeared to penetrate deep into one's soul.

Chen Gang bowed and said, "Chen Gang respectfully offers his respects to Senior Pang."

Liu Yang and Tang Ze's heart missed a beat, "This is the current All-Under-Heaven Strider of the Great Void Sect, Pang Jie?"

"The three All-Under-Heaven Strider before him were all female. Previously, it was a running joke in Mount Shu that the Great Void Sect is strong in yin but weak in yang." Liu Yang thought. "Finally, they produced a male All-Under-Heaven Strider?"

"Heaven, Earth and Man; they come in three. In the cycles of yin and yang, it will change every three cycles, fulfilling the will of Heaven. How is this strange?"

As Liu Yang gloated privately, a plain voice sounded in his heart.

The voice originated from Liu Yang's heart, almost as if he was talking to himself.

Liu Yang's face changed color rapidly, he raised his head to look at the circle of light and the clear airy reflection of Pang Jie. His heart thought, "This person is so powerful till the extent whereby not only could he know what I was thinking, but also the Flash of Intention skill?"

"Doesn't this mean that as long as he wants to do it, he could kill my soul essence and occupy my corporeal body?"

Chapter 133: The Kill-Stealer

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor:

The usually obstinate and unruly Liu Yang broke out into cold sweat at this moment, and looked once again at Pang Jie basking in the light, with a gaze filled with trepidation.

Separated by infinite space yet still possessing such oppressive powers, the All-Under-Heaven Strider did indeed lives up to his name.

After momentarily criticizing Liu Yang, Pang Jie then ignored him. He quietly listened to Chen Gang's report, and said calmly, "Settle this yourself."

He shook his shirt cuffs, and a ray of white light penetrated layers upon layers of space, landing right before Chen Gang.

"You can break that person's spell formations with this."

Chen Gang examined the white ray as he received it, his face beaming with joy, and said with reverence, "With this, I can easily deal with that Taoist Lin without needing to trouble you too much, Senior Pang."

Pang Jie nodded. "Go forth then. If he indeed does have that thing, be sure to bring it back complete and undamaged."

Chen Gang hastily confirmed that the claim was true.

Pang Jie suddenly thought of something and asked, "One of his disciples, supposedly from the Shi Family last year, is only five or six years old this year?"

Chen Gang nodded. "His name is Shi Tianhao. He appeared on the Hengduan Mountains half a year ago, and stirred a conflict with an Aeolus Sect disciple from the southern foothills of Mount Kunlun. At that time, he already had the mastery of twelve levels of Qi Training despite being less than five or six years old."

Pang Jie said faintly, "After vanquishing the Taoist Lin, bring this boy back. Such talent should not be left to wander around aimlessly and have all that potential wasted."

"I shall dutifully carry out your orders, Senior Pang."

Pang Jie nodded. His light illusion flickered slightly, then disappeared instantaneously, reverting into flowing water and returning to the waters below.

Chen Gang then turned around and smiled at Liu Yang. "Go clean yourself up first." He flipped his palm and took out a white jade vial.

A light aroma drifted out from the open vial. Just a small whiff of the vial's scent revitalised Liu Yang's polluted and distressed mana, filling it with life and vigour.

Tang Ze grinned, "The One Heavenly Primordial Water does indeed live up to its name."

"Naturally." Liu Yang laughed as he took the vial, feeling indescribably carefree.

But he did not use the One Heavenly Primordial Water in a hurry, raising his head instead to look at Chen Gang. "From what you all said just now, you want to search for the scum named Lin? Do you know where he is?"

Chen Gang smiled lightly. "I'm unsure of his exact location, but I've received news that he surfaced at the northern foothills of Mount Kunlun not long ago, and he should still be there now."

Liu Yang's face showed a sly grin. "I don't care about the thing you wish to take from him, nor his disciple whom you want to adopt. But I will take his life with my own hands!"

"I want to hack off his dog head!"

Chen Gang lifted his eyebrows and laughed. "Sure. If you're interested, we can travel together. I can hand him over to you at the end, but you can't touch that thing he has on him."

"Deal." Liu Yang sneered. Chen Gang turned his head and looked at Tang Ze. "Are you coming with us? From what I recall, you were pretty interested in him as well."

Tang Ze yawned lazily. "I am interested, but I've recently trained to an important level. I'll need to go back soon."

"The Unholy Blood River of the Earth Palace is not bad. Its Primordial Water is pure, and the current is not too strong - just right for my training."

After hearing what Tang Ze said, Chen Gang nodded his head nonchalantly. "I'll contact you if anything happens."

With that, Chen Gang rose with the wind and flew towards the west with Liu Yang in tow.

Tang Ze gazed at them, shook his head and laughed, then morphed his body violently into a cloud of bloody mist and vanished into thin air.

Lin Feng followed the directions of the Heaven and Earth Mirror, dove down through the sea of clouds, and descended among the peaks of the Kunlun Mountains once again.

"It should be around here." Lin Feng rode the Black Cloud Flag and galloped across the skies above the Kunlun Mountains, flying over a thousand miles before stopping. He kept the Black Cloud Flag and landed on one of the summits.

The yellow and red dots on the Heaven and Earth Mirror had nearly all gathered together.

A powerful wave of mana suddenly blasted towards him from the dense forests below the mountain peaks. It seemed like a ferocious beast had sensed the presence of invaders trespassing into its territory.

Lin Feng grinned, and descended from the summit into the dense forests below.

Upon nearing the source, the opponent's mana waves grew even stronger. Lin Feng thought to himself, "Could there be two demon beasts with powers of the Foundation Establishment?"

He advanced further, and came before a huge cave. When Lin Feng arrived at the cave's entrance, a deafening roar reverberated from within the cave.

It seemed to be warning Lin Feng not to take another step forward.

Lin Feng smiled leisurely, and entered the cave without any reservations.

After just a few steps in, Lin Feng suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flashing by from the corner of his eye.

Lin Feng turned around and saw a gargantuan figure, with a level of agility unthinkable for its size, leap behind him like a spectre.

It looked like a giant ape, with an upright height far exceeding 3 meters.

The ape's body was covered with overlapping pieces of stone plates that enveloped the ape's entire figure, as if it was wearing an armour made of stone.

The lumps of muscle beneath the stone armour flexed vigorously. One could feel a frighteningly explosive power emitting forth just by witnessing it with the naked eye.

The ape's eyes flashed with a blinding red light, and pounced forward with overwhelming testosterone. Its physical strength was clearly immense.

Lin Feng summoned the Polar Aurora Sword. He was already a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the advanced stages, and could control this magic item perfectly.

Lin Feng mercilessly conjured the Polar Aurora Divine Light, and landed it swiftly and accurately on the ape's body, immediately sending the giant ape flying backwards.

The giant ape was jolted by the lightning shocks and sent flying back, but rolled on the ground and quickly stood back up again. Only a large piece of the stone armour on its chest was damaged.

"This weapon seems outdated." Lin Feng curled his lips, kept his Polar Heavenly Sword, and glanced at the giant ape.

Despite only being at the level of a Foundation Establishment Demonic General, the giant ape's suit of stone armour evidently had formidable defensive prowess.

If the Fire Crow Young Master does not use the Grand Sun Primordial Flame or bring his Fire Crow army to such a battle, he may not even be an equal match for the giant ape in a one-on-one duel.

Of course, Fire Crows can fly, and can always retreat to the skies if they cannot overpower their opponents. But looking at this giant ape, there seems to be very little chance to back out from a fight with it.

Lin Feng's thoughts were in a mess as he saw the giant ape bounding towards him once again, and he instinctively lifted a finger.

"Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm."

The space around them became slightly distorted, and the giant ape's advance came to a violent halt.

The ape's colossal body collapsed on the ground, with its eyes wide open in shock. It tried to get up, but just couldn't do it no matter how hard it tried.

Then, a soul-crushing pain jolted its brain. It appallingly realized that the lower half of its body had actually disappeared.

Even this giant ape, with the mastery level of a Demon General and possessing incomparable vitality, could not endure such grievous injuries. It let out one final desperate howl before collapsing dead within the cave.

Lin Feng smiled lightly. The magical energy emitted by the ape's body was exceedingly rich, so the object it was guarding would be no ordinary trinket, and should be the treasure that the Heaven and Earth Mirror was directing him to.

"It'd better not mislead me." Lin Feng flashed his gaze and unwittingly glanced behind him before venturing into the depths of the cave.

Long after Lin Feng disappeared into the cave, a small thin figure suddenly popped her head out at the cave's entrance.

It was a girl in green clothes, with a big sly grin on her face. After examining her surroundings momentarily to confirm that Lin Feng had indeed left, she gleefully ran over to the giant ape's corpse, "He killed a Wutu Stone Ape so easily, he really is formidable."

"He may be formidable, but more importantly, he is so generous. The more powerful you are, the more I can take advantage of you." The girl in green snickered and, with a sword of light in her hand, split the skull of the Wutu stone ape open and extracted a crystal of some sort. The magical energy around the dead ape had dissipated, allowing her to pry the skull open with ease.

The girl in green gazed in the direction that Lin Feng had left in and stuck out her tongue. "Following him would probably give me even more rewards, right? Hm... let me think. I suddenly have a great idea."

The girl in green turned around and exited the cave, scanned the surrounding forests with her pair of large eyes, and grinned cunningly. "If I do this, I'll probably gather even more treasures, right? Hehe, who might the unlucky bastard be?"

Chapter 134: Gaia Jade

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor:

Lin Feng ventured deeper into the cave. The inside of the mountain was hollowed out, forming a deep, cavernous chamber. As he emerged from the tunnel, a clear, unobstructed view is revealed before his eyes.

The chamber was illuminated by a foggy glow, yellow as the humble earth.

Basking in the yellow glow, Lin Feng feels his breath falter, as if he was being buried alive in sand.

"Such concentrated Earthen Essence…." Lin Feng's eyes lit up as he set his gaze on the center of the chamber, where a large chunk of yellow jade sits. The jade, lustrous and glossy, was as perfectly circular as an exquisite plate.

The yellow jade flickered with khaki light – it was where the thick Earthen Essence diffused from.

A smile crept over Lin Feng's face. "Looks like this is the treasure the Heaven and Earth Mirror directed me to find. Such concentrated and untainted Earthen Essence will do much to strengthen the Earthen Divine Light of the Heaven and Earth Mirror!"

"Ah, but it seems someone does not take kindly to my mission." Lin Feng smirked as his body fades into the air.

The next moment, a massive shadow lunged at where he had been.

The rocks were simply pulverized by the immense strength. As the dust settles, the frame of a muscular Earth Ape was revealed, its body being even larger than the Stone Ape Lin Feng previously cut down.

The Earth Ape roared in a fit of rage as it lost sight of Lin Feng.

By then, Lin Feng has appeared beside the jade, swooped down and picked it up. "Ah, Gaia Jade? Forged and nurtured by nature, the rock essence that might only be found once in hundreds of thousands of mountains? A celestial spirit, no wonder it can nurture the Earthen Divine Light!!"

As he exclaimed, Lin Feng abruptly felt a slight movement beneath his feet – a subtle vibration.

"I sensed nothing previously, but it's there after I picked up the Gaia Jade. Maybe this Gaia Jade was suppressing something?" Lin Feng's brows furrowed, silently surprised.

There was no time for him to think further. Seeing how he took the Gaia Jade, the Earth Ape is even more incensed. It opened its mouth and spoke in human tongue, "Drop that!"

It took a deep breath and its chest expanded massively.

It's obviously the sign that a powerful ability was about to be unleashed, and Lin Feng hurriedly dodged.

Just as he jumped aside, the Earth Ape opened its jaws, and yellow-green smoke erupted out in a straight arc. Wherever came into contact with the smoke was masked in a mossy glow and then petrified, turning into the hardest rock.

Lin Feng's gaze flickered. "The spell in this smoke can petrify other substances?"

The Earth Ape, having missed his target, immediately took one more breath, and another pillar of smoke roared straight at Lin Feng.

This time, Lin Feng didn't dodge, but instead a grin came over his face. "Just nice, I'll use you to practice my Analysis magic."

Having previously been enlightened by the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds, Lin Feng's takeaway was far more than the promotion to Foundation Establishment (Advanced).

Stones from other hills, may serve to polish the jade of this one. From the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds, Lin Feng obtained some inspiration, which seems to be useful for the second original magic that he's meditating on.

Thinking back about the omniphobic attribute of the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds, Lin Feng raised his right hand, fingers forming a blade, and swiped downwards gently as if chopping something.

With this gesture, the air remains unperturbed, but the yellow-green smoke emitted by the Stone Ape seems to suddenly collide with an invisible wall, unable to progress and dispersing.

As if a raging river suddenly collided with a solid dam.

The dam did not even budge, and the river, helpless, can only flow to the side, unable to traverse the dam.

Lin Feng smiled soothingly. "Just as expected, I improved a lot. Now, there are only some final touches and my second original magic will be fully molded. "

The Stone Ape was first dumbfounded, but then erupted into savage howling. "Damn human!"

Another day, its animal instinct might have allowed it to sense the danger, but after Lin Feng retrieved the Gaia Jade, this demonic beast fell into a fit of madness, and it would not rest until it killed Lin Feng and got back the Gaia Jade.

Those two giant apes discovered the Gaia Jade decades ago, but it wasn't mature then, so they patiently waited nearby, awaiting the day the Gaia Jade fully matured.

If they consumed the Gaia Jade then, they might very well break down the bottleneck and form Demonic Elixir, evolving into Demonic Commanders. But now, not only was a companion killed, the Gaia Jade was taken by Lin Feng as well, causing this Earth Ape to descend into a frenzy.

Lin Feng, naturally, isn't frightened and smirked. "I'll just use you to familiarize my new magic with."

As Lin Feng thinks, a thought came to him and he took out the Heaven and Earth mirror, crying, "Probe."

The surface of the Heaven and Earth mirror shone with yellow light, illuminating a red dot in its center. Just beside the red dot is a bright yellow dot, and two more, slightly smaller yellow dots are in the vicinity.

These two yellow dots are quickly moving towards the red dot.

Lin Feng's brows crunched. The red dot represents his position and the adjacent yellow dot is obviously this stupid gorilla here.

And the other two yellow dots mean that two other persons are coming in his direction. Judging by the intensity of the dots, they are likely to be at Foundation Establishment.

While Lin Feng circles around the Earth Ape, he radiated his magic power into the surroundings and quickly sensed two Foundation Establishment human cultivators, descending along the tunnel and hurriedly travelling towards him.

Lin Feng could even faintly hear their conversation.

"Brother, the Earthen Essence here is so concentrated, looks like that girl did not trick us. There are really treasures here." The speaker is a young man clad in cyan robes, his wind magic flowing smoothly, as vast as the sea.

His appearance, though, is similar to Qin Tao and Li Xiang, the classic get-up of a disciple of the Aeolus Sect.

In front, another cyan-clad young man dashes rapidly into the depths of the cave. His features are identical to the man who just spoke behind him – they are a pair of twin brothers!

The older brother, Zhang Sen, snorted. "Even if there is, it would be Earthen treasure, which isn't compatible with us."

The younger brother, Zhang Lin, laughed. "We can't use it, but it can be used for exchange. I think it can be exchanged for Wind treasure that suits us."

His eyes moved. "If worst come to worst, we can present it to the Liefeng Priest. You know how he loves face and rare stuff; if this can arouse his interest, even if he just casually rewards us with some good stuff, it'll be a big haul!"

"The Liefeng Priest probably isn't in such a leisurely mood lately," Zhang Sen said. "It has been a year since Gao Long's disappearance, and nothing has been heard of him since. Even his Flying Beast has vanished!"

"Previously the Liefeng Priest finally sensed that the Flying Beast is nearby, that's why he hastily brought us out."

"No idea what's so good about Gao Long," Zhang Lin snorted, "the Liefeng Priest cares so much about him."

"It's hard to say if two men will hit it off," Zhang Sen said. "Our master having died, us brothers are like rootless weeds within the Sect. This is not the way to go."

"Accompanying the Liefeng Priest out this time is an incredible opportunity for us. If we obey instructions and do our tasks well, we might get the chance to be taken under his wing."

Zhang Lin nodded furiously, "That's right!"

Eavesdropping on their conversation, Lin Feng silently thought "So that Liefeng Priest is Gao Long's master? I don't know about when there's distance between us previously, but now that the Flying Beast is within the Kunlun Mountains, no wonder he sensed something!"

Lin Feng composed himself and again focused on the Earth Ape before him.

This time, before it can discharge that smoke, Lin Feng made the first move. Approaching the Earth Ape, he swiped his right hand at its body.

The Earth Ape blinked and inspected itself. Not a single wound.

The only exception was its chest, where a long crack has been made on the thick stone armor.

The crack on the stone is neatly sliced, as if made in one blow by a divine blade.

Although the stone armor was sliced open, the flesh of the Earth Ape, ensconced within the slabs, is entirely unharmed. Not a single hair was damaged, let alone blood.

"I see!" Lin Feng was speechless for a moment, but upon further thought, he immediately understood the underlying reason, and exclaimed, "Looks like this spell isn't suitable for head-on attacks."

As he was contemplating, not far off, rumbles sounded. The brothers, Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin, passed through the tunnel and entered the hollow mountain chamber as well.

Chapter 135: Are You Looking for This?

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor:

Lin Feng paid no attention to the arrival of Zhang Sen, and continued experimenting on the Wutu Stone Ape to refine his new spell.

With a gentle wave of his palms, a huge gash formed on the Ape's stone armour.

Still, there was no harm dealt to the Ape's flesh.

"This sorcery, though it splits the divine energy, is unlike the Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm which splits vacuum to harm the opponent's flesh." Lin Feng understood deep inside, although the new spell may be unique in its own ways, it remained no match to the Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm as an offensive spell.

The strength of the stone armor on the Ape may increase ten-folds, and while it would still be torn apart by his new spell, the flesh will stay unharmed.

Lin Feng dodged the Ape's berserk charges, and ponders, "The new spell still has huge undiscovered potential…"

All his efforts were on refining his new spell, but unknowing to him, it's a totally different picture Zhang Sen's and Zhang Lin's perspective.

The twins turned to each other, and smiled.

"Looking from the mana charges, he has not yet reached the Aurous Core Stage."

"The power of the spell is obviously lacking, only the armor can be damaged right now."

"Clearly he's no match for us, an easy prey indeed…"

Zhang Lin smirked, "What are we waiting for, attack!" as he raised his right hand. The black bracelet on wrist rose to the sky while he mouths his spell.

Waves of a blizzard, icy cold and with ice shards as sharp as blades, gushed out the bracelet.

Brother Zhang Sen raised his left hand, and on his wrist, there was an identical bracelet to Zhang Lin, but white in colour.

"Rise!" He commanded as the bracelet flew to the air.

Out came a storm of fire and lava, the polar opposite of his brother's.

"Fusion!" The Zhang brother's held each other's hand, while the two bracelets fused in the air. This was a union of the abilities of the two sorcerers' to become something much more powerful.

Shockingly, the fusion of bracelets didn't cause the elements to repel, but produced a gargantuan tornado.

It condensed as it spiraled inwards into its final form of a long spear, exuding a cynical eeriness.

Lin Feng eyed the brothers, expressionless.

The target of the spear was not Lin Feng, but the Wutu Stone Ape.

The Ape had focused on Lin Feng all this while, and paid no attention to the incoming spear. By the time the Ape took notice, it was too late.

Desperate, the Ape formed a thick shield in front of its chest, but the spear struck right through it, leaving a gaping hole in its path. The wind elemental spell circled its body, raging and destroying every inch of its flesh.

Gnashing its teeth while roaring, the Ape was brought down to its knees.

"The ice and fire elemental spells, logically do not mix. Yet with true mastery, they may be condensed into a perfect harmony, just like the ideal 'Tao' of the Yin and Yang." Lin Feng observed.

The actions of the Zhang brothers were no gentlemen's assistance.

Quoting Lin Feng's gaming experience from his previous life, these two were just 'kill stealing'.

The Wutu Stone Ape lifted its head, eyes bloodshot, and stared intently into the Zhang brothers.

Suddenly, it took in a deep breath, and charged at them in the form of thick, yellowish haze.

"Sucker punch," the brothers turned to each other and mocked. The same instance, the bracelets in the skies fused once again, and this time round, produced a massive shield, impeding the haze from approaching the brothers any further.

The haze lashed straight into the shield, creating earth-shaking tremors, but repeated waves of the tornados continuously diluted the haze.

The Wutu Stone Ape was filled with despair. That was its ultimate and final attempt, yet it was nowhere close to damaging his enemy.

With the haze resolved, the brothers roared, as another tornado formed in the skies, this time condensing into an enormous blade, soaring down and cleanly decapitating the Ape.

A gigantic skull, with shiny bronze eyes, flew through the skies in a perfect projectile motion, and landed soundly back onto the ground.

The brothers smiled contently and placed the bracelets back onto their wrists.

With a wave, the skull flew into Zhang Sen's hands. He skillfully sliced through the skull, to retrieve a crystalline object. He smiled, "This belongs to the earth elements, but I am sure that I can trade this for something of value."

Zhang Lin scanned the space around, "There is a heavy concentration of Earth elemental aura here. There definitely is a precious earth object here in the past, but it's gone…" He turned to Lin Feng and said, "You took it away?"

Lin Feng peered at the brothers curiously, not because they were powerful sorcerers, but in reality, twins are hard to come by.

"What are you looking at?" snapped Zhang Lin, "I demand an answer."

His brother too eyed Lin Feng with ill-intentions.

Lin Feng gently took out the earth-elemental jade, "Is this what you are asking for?"

The shiny pale yellow earth-elemental jade, emitted a dense wave of earth spiritual energy, as though it carried all of life from the ground.

Simply from its appearance, one will know its value and rarity. The Zhang brothers' eyes lit up instantly.

"How impressive! Can you tell me its value", remarked Zhang Lin sarcastically as he attempted to suck the jade from mid-air.

Lin Feng smiled, while the jade remained firmly in his grip.

Zhang Lin raged, and demanded, "Don't make us escalate this conflict!"

Lin Feng remained calm, and asked, "Are the two of you students of the Aeolus Sect?"

"What are you implying…?"

"Oh, nothing… I previously partially learnt of a spell from the Aeolus Sect leader, I simply want you guys to teach me what I had missed out on"

The faces of the Zhang brothers darkened. Zhang Lin snarled, "You reckless fool, I shall assist you if you seek death."

"Cutting off his upper limbs will do," Zhang Sen remarked coldly, as he removed the black bracelet from his wrist. At this instance, he realized his brother was looking back at him, face full of horror.

"What's wrong?" he asked, and realized his brother's face was peppered with blood dots, This, together with the expression of shock, was uncomfortably mysterious.

This precise moment, an excruciating pain was felt on Zhang Lin's left shoulder. As he looked down, he nearly fainted upon realizing his left arm had vanished. Blood was gushing out from the open wound.

Turning around to look at his brother, he realized that much of his green robe had been stained by the blood.

"Ah!" Zhang Lin shrieked, losing conscious and falling to the ground.

His brother came to his assistance, and tried to halt the blood flow. Moaning, Zhang Lin cried, "Where did my arm go to?"

Zhang Sen too had no answer.

"Hey, looking for this?" Lin Feng's voice was heard.

The brothers turned, and there he was, smiling contently, as he flashed out the dismembered arm from behind his back.

And there, on the wrist, was Zhang Lin's black bracelet.

Chapter 136: The Fences of Heavens

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor:

As Lin Feng removed the bangle from his wrist, it struggled to break free from his grip.

"Seal." Lin Feng smiled before using the Heavenly Cage Mantra to seal the black bangle.

Despite been in deep pain after his arm was amputated, Zhang Lin had invested all his focus and concentration in maintaining the communication with his magic item Bangle of Negative Wind. However, now that Lin Feng had used the Heavenly Cage Mantra, he was no longer able to connect to his bangle.

Feeling the impact from the broken connection, Zhang Lin coughed out a splat of blood and could no longer bear the pain as he fainted.

Zhang Sen was shocked as he turned around to look at Lin Feng. Lin Feng gave off the usual composed look as he said slowly, "This is merely a little punishment which I would issue to people who come screaming at me in the face."

After seeing how Zhang Lin had the intent to initiate a battle, Lin Feng did not waste time waiting for his foe to land the first blow onto him.

Ever since he had learnt that the brothers worked in pair and how their two magic items work in tandem, Lin Feng had decisively destroyed one of them. As a result, the other one would not be able to cause much of a problem.

As he activated the Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm, Lin Feng vacuumed the space which contained Zhang Lin's right arm to the area behind him. As the space shifted, Zhang Lin's right arm was torn away from his torso.

Lin Feng extended his hand which he had casually placed behind his back and caught the arm of Zhang Lin easily. It was with such ease that he had managed to lay his hands on the black bangle.

Watching how Lin Feng did everything so easily, Zhang Sen felt a chill ran down his spine. He knew that he was up against someone whom he should never have meddled with.

Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin were twin brothers. Just like them, their black bangles also came in a pair. Zhang Sen's Bangle of Positive Wind could generate hot wind while Zhang Lin's Bangle of Negative Wind could generate cold wind.

If you were to consider the individual prowess of these magic items, they were nothing special. At best, they can only be considered a mid-tier item in the ranks of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But the moment when these two bangles come together as one, the combination of the hot and chilly wind, aided by the dynamism of the Yin-Yang Energy could culminate in an extremely powerful tempest. The tempest would have streaks of black and white intertwining within the rapid airflow and had sufficient power to destroy most things that came in its way. It was a skill that allows the user to go around undefeated at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

However, the current situation made Zhang Sen lost all hope despite the great power that he shared with his twin brother. Before they even had the chance to make their move, Zhang Lin had already been severely injured and his natal magic item Bangle of Negative Wind had already been taken away by their foe.

Zhang Sen ground his teeth and snarled, "How could you? It was only a joke!"

Lin Feng looked at him and shook his head. "Your brother was obviously threatening me. You better watch out. If not, do you want both of your arms removed?"

"The only reason why I am still standing here unhurt is not the result of your leniency but rather the fact that both of you are incompetent." Lin Feng let out a laugh before continuing, "So once you all have realized that you guys do not have what it takes to take me down, all the shouting and crying of how you all would tear me into pieces becomes a misunderstanding?"

"In your eyes, I will deserve to die if I am unable to defend myself but if I am able to retaliate and survive, you all would be spared?"

"This must be a joke! Whatever the logic that you all were employing. Who do you all think I am?"

Zhang Sen looked at Lin Feng with much hatred but he knew that in the current circumstance, there was nothing meaningful for him to say anymore.

Just like what Lin Feng had said, Zhang Sen's original plan was for both of them to assert their might over Lin Feng and to get Lin Feng to go onto his knees and plead for mercy.After that, he would pretend to be an extremely benevolent person and stop Zhang Lin from killing Lin Feng.

But from what it seemed now, he was better off daydreaming.

Zhang Sen stared at Lin Feng begrudgingly as he remained puzzled. "How could it be that he had such powerful spells? When he was fighting with the Wutu Stone Ape, I did not remember him casting any of them."

"I am afraid that you will have to pay the price for treating a tiger as a cat." Hearing this, a thought raced through Zhang Sen's head. "I must run. I cannot try to parry his attacks else I would die here. As long as I can escape from him and report this to the Liefeng Priest, he will definitely find someone to avenge us."

Even if the Liefeng Priest was unable to kill him, there were many more powerful elders and grandmasters in the Sect who were able to do so.

After assuring himself, Zhang Sen decisively grabbed the unconscious Zhang Lon and raised a talisman in the air.

Feeling the ripples from the movement of mana in the talisman, Lin Feng furrowed his brows.

This talisman was not the usual one used for attacking. It was a Great Teleportation Talisman that allowed one to teleport instantly to a distance that was hundreds of miles away by splitting open pockets of space.

Of course, it was a well-known fact that talismans were one-time use items. Also, the destination of the teleportation could not be predetermined by the user. However, this did not stop the Great Teleportation Talisman from being one of the top-selling talismans.

It had the ability to split open space quickly and allows swift escapes. Who would not want it?

The ability to split open spaces was not possessed by many. In fact, only cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage would be able to do so. Hence, they must rely on special spells or methods in order to do so.

Thus, this indirectly resulted in the scarcity of these talismans in the market. In fact, this was the first time that Lin Feng had seen the Great Teleportation Talisman.

If Zhang Sen were able to use the talisman, Lin Feng would not be able to stop the brothers using the Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm since the talisman was able to split apart any vacuum or space.

The Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm could only interfere with the possible destination of the teleportation. At the very most, it could only tear them apart in the currents of space and vacuum but never will it be able to hold them back.

As the talisman gave off a flash, Zhang Sen hugged Zhang Lin as he stared into the blank space in front of him, which was starting to waver and falter.

As he looked at Lin Feng, he exclaimed with much hate, "When we meet the next time, if I am unable to shred you into pieces, I will not be able to quench my thirst for revenge!" Lin Feng smiled at his words, "You do not have to wait for the next time, we shall meet now."

As he spoke, Lin Feng rose his right hand formed a blade-like shape with fingers before making a slashing motion in mid-air.

"This new spell shall be named Fences of the Heavens!"

Lin Feng's Crucible which was sitting on the Spiritual Altar in his Aurous Sea trembled as the mana of the Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams gushed, executing a second original spell which he was perfecting.

Fences of the Heavens sets up an enclosure like the boundaries of the Heavens which then subsequently insulates the environment and prevent any circulation or movement of spiritual energy and mana.

The moment which Lin Feng cast the spell, Zhang Sen could sense that something was wrong.

In the next moment, he was shocked to find the spiritual energy of the Great Teleportation Talisman cut off by an invisible barrier.

Both brothers were still able to move from the gaps within vacuum and space under the assistance of the Great Teleportation Talisman, but their movement was restricted within a radius of three meters.

No matter how much the powers of the Great Teleportation Talisman tried to struggle against the Fences of the Heavens, they were still like birds trapped in a cage. No matter how hard they tried to flap their wings, there would be no escape for them.

Lin Feng looked at this scene with much interest as a thought suddenly occurred to him. It seems that my Fences of the Heavens do share some similarities with the Heavenly Cage Mantra.

Now that I have acquired another direction to research on, it appears that this spell still has much potential to grow, Lin Feng thought to himself.

While Lin Feng was deep in his thoughts about the new insights which he had gained about this new spell, the Zhang brothers were suffering in great pain.

While they were entrapped within this hemisphere of space, the power of the Great Teleportation Talisman continued to teleport them around this tiny space. The confusion and giddiness, as well as the feeling of being torn across spaces, made it extremely unbearable for them. At this moment, the Zhang Brothers wished for nothing but death.

It was only when the spiritual energy of the Talisman was fully expended, the Zheng brothers could then land onto solid ground. By then, Zhang Sen's world was spinning around and he could not stop vomiting.

The severely injured Zhang Lin appeared to have suffered more, as he kept gasping for air like a dying man.

Witnessing the effects of his new spell, Lin Feng smiled before sealing and containing them with the Heavenly Cage Mantra and the Black Cloud Flag.

Just when he was prepared to leave, Lin Feng sensed movement from the ground below him.

Powerful waves of energy continued to sweep against the surface of the earth from the underneath as though something was going to rush out from the ground.

"I had felt these tremors earlier but they were not as strong as the ones I am experiencing now. It seems like whatever that is underneath might not be anything of the usual sorts." Lin Feng looked at the Gaia Jade in his hand as he muttered to himself, "It seems like the Gaia Jade has been suppressing something."

Chapter 137: Avīci Infernal Gale

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor:

"What exactly is suppressed before this Gaia Jade?"

Intrigued and feeling the vibrations beneath his feet intensifying, Lin Feng, unable to resist, isolated a strand of Psychic Sense and explores into the ground.

He didn't get far before the sound of a thousand wraiths shrieking went off inside his brain, tormenting Lin Feng's soul.

That strand of Psychic Sense instantly disappeared like a snowball in hell, as if devoured by some terrible, terrible thing deep inside the earth.

Although it was but an instant, Lin Feng still managed a clear look at its true face. His mouth hung open, gaping in shock.

A swathe of red, as far as the eye could see.

Fog, but not fog; wind, but not wind; flickering, with light the deepest red.

In the ruby gleam, one could catch fleeting glimpses of countless specters, with flailing claws and excruciating cries that hinted at the worst imaginable agonies. The unholiness of the scene seemingly transplanted one right into Dante's Inferno.

It's his first time seeing it for himself, but having learned much about the Grand Celestial World, Lin Feng instantly recognized the nature of this thing.

Avīci Infernal Gale. Avīci – the boundless underworld of endless samsara, the hell without hope of respite.

In the universe, there existed the Seven Legendary Primordial Fires, the Six Great Primordial Waters, and lastly, the Four Grand Primordial Winds.

Dimensional Storm, Nine Nether Draught, and the Nine Heavens Formless Squall acquired via the Aeolus Sect's ultimate Tao technique – the Aeolus Formless Mantra. Together with the Avīci Infernal Gale, those were the Four Grand Primordial Winds of the universe, each with incredible prowess.

The Nine Heavens Formless Squall Gao Long released that day when he activated his jade belt was but a minuscule strand, but it was still capable of carving great mountains and roaring rivers into halves. It was just nice neutralized by his Dual Dimension Vaccum Charm, but if Lin Feng had been facing the infinitely abundant Nine Heavens Formless Squall above the Heavens, the only possible outcome is him being ripped to shreds.

The Nine Heavens Formless Squall was impossibly sharp and virtually invulnerable. As long as it hit its target, it was capable of disintegrating almost anything in existence. It was the most aggressive of the Four Grand Primordial Winds.

Meanwhile, the Avīci Infernal Gale would corrupt the souls of the living, devouring them and transforming them to specters in its ruby gleam. They will become part of the Avīci Infernal Gale itself, never to enter samsara and only moving at the Avīci Infernal Gale's pleasure.

As if truly trapped in Avīci hell, they shall never have the slightest respite.

The Million Wraith Sect remnant Sikong Nan, who was previously killed by Lin Feng – his Hundred Wraiths Nightwalking Technique was merely the spell created by the Million Wraith Sect's Great Ones of old after witnessing the prowess of the Avīci Infernal Gale. But compared with the mysterious and domineering powers of the true Avīci Infernal Gale, the Hundred Wraiths Nightwalking Technique is but child's play.

Hence, after realizing that there was the Avīci Infernal Gale underneath this mountain, Lin Feng did not hesitate even for a second and ran in the opposite direction.

The Kunlun Mountains were not the best in the Grand Celestial World in terms of concentration of Spiritual Energy, but although it was hardly the most suitable for human cultivation, there were untold treasures hidden here. However, there was a prerequisite – one must have the ability to get one's hands on those treasures, alive.

Treasure always coexisted with danger.

The Avīci Infernal Gale before Lin Feng's eyes now exceeded even the Grand Moon Primordial Water in danger.

As Lin Feng sprinted out of the cave, he unfolded the Black Cloud Flag and flew towards the horizon in a flash of dark light. After Lin Feng disappeared, a green figure abruptly emerged at the mouth of the cave. It was that girl from previously.

The green-clad girl, smiling, shades her eyes as she gazes at the fading outline of Lin Feng. "As expected, you're the better one. It'll be great if your whereabouts are known; that way, I can lead more people there to cause you trouble."

"After you've dispatched them, I can follow and pick the bones." The girl merrily hopped into the cave, "Let's see what I can scavenge from those two Aeolus Sect idiots? All of those people are filthy rich."

"In a way, you can be considered my lucky charm? Hahaha!"

Passing through the tunnel, the girl walked downwards into the chamber, where there was only a single dead Wutu Stone Ape.

...And with its skull already carved open and the crystal inside gone. The remaining corpse was virtually worthless.

Gasping, the girl let out a cry of agony. "Not even a teeny bit left for me! Aren't you rather generous?"

She wronged Lin Feng, though. The crystal in the Wutu Stone Ape's skull was dug out by the brothers Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin, whom Lin Feng still had uses for and thus obviously won't kill lightly.

But in the end, she came eagerly and went away dismayed and empty-handed.

"Aghhhh! Infuriating!" The girl clenched her teeth bitterly.

A palm-sized golden mouse scampered up her shoulder. After a few screeches, it abruptly spoke in human tongue. "Enough grumbling, Fengling. You're always so greedy, first, you want this, then that…"

"In fact, after you get your hands on a lot of things, you toss them aside in the blink of an eye, right?" The golden mouse said bluntly.

Zhuge Fengling wrinkled her nose, "What do you know? That feeling of satisfaction when you get your hands on good stuff, it's wondrous…"

The Gold-Digging Mouse snorted, "You! Always chasing after treasure and leaving nothing behind."

As it speaks, the Gold-Digging Mouse's pointy, furry ears suddenly trembled.

"Fengling, something's not right! There seems to be some kind of danger approaching us, fast!"

Zhuge Fengling's expression immediately became serious. This Gold-Digging Mouse was both her pet and her partner in crime; it was extremely sensitive to Spiritual Energy and danger, capable of detecting treasure rich in Spiritual Energy as well as providing early warning of danger.

"Where?" Zhuge Fengling, alert, surveyed her surroundings.

The Gold-Digging Mouse's ears are vibrating at ever increasing frequencies. An instant later, it shrieks. "Down! It's below! Fengling, run!"

Zhuge Fengling's expression shifts as she feels the waves of tremors coming from the caverns beneath her feet. They were muted at first, but in an instant, the tremors intensified by several orders of magnitudes, resembling a major earthquake.

Throughout the entire mountain, rocks began to shatter and scatter, with the ground shaking as if the Heavens itself is about to fall.

"This time, I'm losing the entire bet! Everything!" Zhuge Fengling hollered as she cranks up her Qi Disciple Level 12 power to maximum and bolts for the outside of the cave.

Beneath her feet, rocks continued to fragment. In the cracks, ruby light flickered as strand after strand of red gales and infernal clouds erupted from within. The shrieks of wraiths resounded in the empty chamber, growing more and more shrill.

"That white-robed Taoist – you're on my list! Don't let me…Arghhhhhh! What're all these damn things?"

Lin Feng, steering the Black Cloud Flag through the skies, turned and gazed at the cave, which had already disappeared beyond the horizon. He jiggled his head "Did someone call me just now?"

A smile crossed Lin Feng's face. He sensed that there's someone lurking outside the cave long ago, although he did not know about the person's plans.

Better not be plotting against him, or this would give the person a rude wake-up call. Avīci Infernal Gale wasn't something to be taken lightly.

Thinking of the Avīci Infernal Gale, Lin Feng sighed. He's now devoting all of his energy to the enterprise of parting the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds and entering Mount Yujing. Or else, if he could find a way to tame the Avīci Infernal Gale, it'd be another powerful technique in his arsenal.

"Still, even without Avīci Infernal Gale, it's good to have the Nine Heavens Formless Squall," Lin Feng grinned. Although Gao Fan, Qin Tao etc. all practiced Aeolus Formless Mantra, their copies were all incomplete fragments. Hopefully, the Zhang brothers he just captured could help to complete the Mantra.

The Nine Heavens Formless Squall was powerful, but it's not a must to Lin Feng. He's currently studying his own Grand Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams, which exceeded even the Aeolus Formless Mantra.

But considering that the Grand Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams was but the first chapter of the Heavenly Tao Te Ching, afterward, he'll probably have to study ways and mantras of even higher level.

Linking back to the experience of having to merge eight different mantras to successfully create the Grand Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams, Lin Feng decided to make preparations early, collecting all sorts of spells to stay on the safe side.

"What's most important now is still Mount Yujing." Lin Feng weighed the Gaia Jade in his hand. "Hopefully, this will allow the Heaven and Earth Mirror to emit enough Central Wutu Divine Light to break open the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds.

Chapter 138: Return to Mount Yujing and the Summit Treasure Tree

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor:

Lin Feng steered the Black Cloud Flag in a streak of dark light across the horizon and, once again, came face-to-face with Mount Yujing, enveloped in the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds.

From far, he caught sight of the four, including Xiao Budian, seated on the Feilian and slowly circling the sea of Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds, deep in thought.

Lin Feng inconspicuously detoured around to another direction and retrieved the Heaven and Earth Mirror and the Gaia Jade.

"Central Wutu Divine Light!" With a silent command, a beam of yellow light fired from the surface of the Heaven and Earth Mirror. Instead of looking dim, the light appeared to be extraordinarily intense and heavy.

Precisely as the Central Wutu Divine Light appeared, the Gaia Jade started to tremble relentlessly, as if it was sentient and was terrified of something.

The yellow light engulfed the Gaia Jade, whose trembles were turning more violent by the second. If Lin Feng hadn't been grasping it tightly, it would almost have flown out of his hand.

The yellow Central Wutu Divine Light, upon contact with the Gaia Jade, appeared as if it received a huge dose of adrenaline as its radiance shined even brighter.

Meanwhile, the size of the Gaia Jade was visibly shrinking. In an instant, the yellow jade, previously the size of a washbasin, has shrunk to palm-sized. Near the end, the Gaia Jade, as if aware of its inevitable fate, finally gave up resistance and stopped shaking. Simultaneously, the Central Wutu Divine Light unceremoniously absorbed all of the abundant Earthen Essence within the Gaia Jade.

Finally, the Gaia Jade shrank to the size of a pigeon egg and turned glossy black, just like an unremarkable stone.

At this moment, a system notification rang out beside Lin Feng's ear. "The host has successfully strengthened the Central Wutu Divine Light. Central Wutu Divine Light random secondary mission completed, reward – one lottery chance!"

A smile came across Lin Feng's face as he flipped the Heaven and Earth Mirror. As the yellow light shined on the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds, the turbulent purple clouds rapidly retreated, opening up a path.

Lin Feng did not dare to hesitate for even a moment and entered through the path cleared by the Central Wutu Divine Light.

As the Central Wutu Divine Light continued to neutralize the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds, the intensity of the yellow light lowered yet again.

Just that this time, the rate of decline was noticeably slower than the first time.

Lin Feng watched the intensity of the Central Wutu Divine Light closely. Although the rate of decline was slower, no one can promise that this time, it would be sufficient. As one approached Mount Yujing, the concentration of Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds multiplied.

Despite the shielding from the Central Wutu Divine Light, Lin Feng could still feel the repulsive force from the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds strengthening.

Suddenly, Lin Feng had an inspiration. As he controlled the Central Wutu Divine Light to clear the path, he slashed the air with his right hand.

The Fences of the Heavens was working; countering repulsion with repulsion, to a degree, it held the repulsion from the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds at bay. Even the pressure on the Heaven and Earth Mirror was greatly reduced; the rate of decay of the Central Wutu Divine Light was visibly slowed.

Lin Feng was delighted. The two types of energy – the Central Wutu Divine Light and the Fences of the Heavens – roared on, unstoppable, and, at last, overcome the hindrance of the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds.

Once he was out of the sea of purple clouds, Lin Feng had a clear and unrestricted view before his eyes.

Before him lay a majestic mountain, white as the purest jade and reaching up to a height of thousands of meters.

Horizontal on the ground, a thousand meters did not actually appear too outrageous.

But once vertical, in front of humans, it was absolutely awe-inspiring.

Looking up at Mount Yujing, Lin Feng could not help but exclaim, "What a celestial white-jade mountain!"

He could sense that not even a thousand meters are the true altitude of Mount Yujing; it was just that it was now manifesting as such.

Standing before Mount Yujing, Lin Feng was struck with the sudden awareness that he was but an infinitesimally small speck of dust, while Mount Yujing stood vast as the entire universe.

Not clear visibly, but simply the most primal sensation originating from the soul, deep inside him.

Lin Feng stepped onto the stone steps at the foot of the mountain and climbed upwards, step by step.

He did not employ the aid of the Black Cloud Flag, nor did he use his Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm. Just his own two feet, step by step, like how mere mortals would climb a mountain.

With every step, Lin Feng could sense that his understanding of the universe's fundamental laws increasing a little more.

Lin Feng did not attempt to calculate the time. It was after he walked the entire flight of stairs and reached the summit of Mount Yujing that he awoke, as if from a long, eventful dream.

He felt that he has already walked for ages, that he walked through countless eons and eternities.

But paradoxically, it was also as if he walked from the foot to the summit in a single step.

"Ancient as eternity, yet fleeting as a single instant. Mount Yujing…it seems to embody the Way of Time." Lin Feng felt himself coming over with enlightenment. "Eternity and Instant, the two extremes of Time. Understand the Way of Eternity and Instant, and you have deciphered the enigma of Time."

Lin Feng walked on the summit of Mount Yujing. The geography of the summit is rolling and flat, but the most striking thing was – at the center of the summit – a mammoth tree, standing tall as the sky and radiant with rainbow light.

This Rainbow Treasure Tree was colossal; its trunk stood large as the greatest city, its canopy masked half the sky and blotted out the sun itself.

Every single leaf was a mu, glimmering with the light of splendid treasures.

At first glance, this Treasure Tree seemed to be larger than even Mount Yujing itself.

But upon closer inspection, it felt small as a feeble sapling, planted alone at the peak of Mount Yujing.

The epitome of bigness, and the epitome of smallness. The two completely antithetical sensations merged perfectly, exuding a conception that was abstruse yet gratifying.

Coming to the foot of the tree, Lin Feng felt a fascinating connection.

"Black Heavenly Treasure Tree…is it?" Lin Feng looked up at the impressive trunk. "That's the name of this tree? People say that there are the Four Great Strange Trees of the universe – the Divine Parasol Tree, the Celestial Jade Tree, the Ginseng Fruit Tree, and the Saros Steel Tree. But there's no Black Heavenly Treasure Tree among them."

Lin Feng scratched his head. In fact, apart from the Celestial Jade Tree Demon Long Ye, he had never seen any of the remaining three Great Strange Trees.

Even for Long Ye, its body was long since destroyed by Yan Mingyue, thus all he saw was a strand of its Demon Soul.

But when Lin Feng associated the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree with the Four Great Strange Trees, he couldn't help but feel that notion surfacing.

Four Great Strange Trees? Even added together, they could never hope to compete with this single Black Heavenly Treasure Tree.

"Is it my misconception?" Contemplating the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, Lin Feng smiled. "Or, is it your declaration?"

Steering the Black Cloud Flag, Lin Feng flew up.

The topmost crown of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree extended straight into the void, as far as the eye could see.

"The top of this Black Heavenly Treasure Tree's crown grew straight into an alternate dimension!" Lin Feng staggered back, shocked. "No, that's not right! The Black Heavenly Treasure Tree did not grow into the alternate dimension – it forged an alternate dimension by itself!"

"This Black Heavenly Treasure Tree…it forged a dimension on its own!"

Lin Feng took a deep breath and continued up, stepping into the dimension at the top of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree.

Shadows and light flashed before his eyes. After everything settled down, before Lin Feng, a brand new, miniature world appeared.

Rainbow light perpetually flashed. The sky is not blue, but a bright white. Where Lin Feng stood, all of it was the liveliest green.

On the emerald ground, a much smaller Black Heavenly Treasure Tree grew. It had plentiful leaves and thick branches; as it swayed gently, the scent of Life caressed one's face.

"Wa! Wa! Wa!"

"Eh? Why would there be the sound of children crying?" Lin Feng focused his gaze and saw, on the soil below the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, lay a chubby but entirely khaki toddler!

The chubby infant was khaki – yellow as the humble soil – from head to toe. Not just his clothes, but even his skin is colored dull yellow as if his whole body was molded from mud and earth.

However, the cries of this chubby child were loud and his expression vivid. He rolled about on the ground ceaselessly, yelling unfamiliar syllables. In his cries, Lin Feng could only barely identify a single word.

"Hungry!"

Lin Feng landed below the tree and came to the side of the chubby khaki kid, observing him cautiously.

However, he seemed to not exist to the toddler. His gaze visibly swept past Lin Feng's coordinates, but the gaze was unfocused as if Lin Feng was transparent. His only action was to prop himself up with his plump arms and legs, wailing like nobody's business.

"Hmm." Lin Feng had a thought. He pulled the mortal snacks he had bought for Xiao Budian out of the Storage Pouch and threw them to the chubby kid.

This time, the toddler reacted, grabbing the snacks and shoving them into his mouth, but his gaze remained vacant and unfocused as if he was completely unable to see Lin Feng.

As the food entered his mouth, the chubby toddler froze for a second before pouting his lips and spitting it out. "Splat!" His wailing grew even louder, obviously not caring for mortal snacks.

Amazed, Lin Feng threw out a few elixirs for cultivator's use. The kid happily accepted and tasted them one by one, but none could satisfy him – everything ended up vomited onto the ground.

"Little brat! You're certainly picky." Lin Feng didn't know whether to be angry or amused. As he pondered, suddenly, he heard heavy footsteps coming from far.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

Turning, Lin Feng peered in that direction. Instantly, his pupils dilated.

Chapter 139: Chubby Child, Swordbearing Maiden, Chess Player

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor:

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

Incredibly heavy footsteps reverberated from afar. With every step, Lin Feng felt the earth beneath his feet tremble.

Gazing in that direction, Lin Feng was dazed for a moment.

He saw a teenage girl, no more than fifteen, slowly advancing step by step.

Borne on her shoulders was a sword case literally the size of a small hill!

The case measured 20-30 meters in length as well as several meters in breadth and thickness. The whole case was matt black, appearing to be exceedingly heavy.

In comparison with this giant sword case, the girl's frail frame appeared extremely out of proportion, the striking contrast resembling how Atlas held up the sky.

The sword case was tethered with numerous silver chains, all of which were entwined with the girl below bearing the case.

Relative to the gigantic sword case, those silver chains were impossibly thin, like strands of silver thread wrapped around the case.

But when Lin Feng scrutinized them carefully, he realized that all of the chains were pulled taut, serving to hold the sword case in place.

As for the girl, although she was supporting a gargantuan case thousands of times her size, her back remained upright and her airs, imposing. She herself was like an unsheathed sword, dazzling and awe-inspiring.

She gave Lin Feng the feeling that if not for the burden of the sword case, she would have soared past the clouds and carved the sky into two.

Treading ponderously and ploddingly, but without the appearance of clumsiness or awkwardness. Instead, she radiated an air of invincibility and indomitability, as if she shall forever forge on tirelessly.

Lin Feng's breath halted. He realized that, just like that wailing chubby kid, this girl with the sword case seemed to be completely unaware of his existence.

Even if Lin Feng intentionally stepped into her path, the girl still appeared oblivious, just continuing to advance as if Lin Feng was invisible.

Lin Feng thought for a moment and in the end, did not attempt to block her path and test what her reaction would be when colliding with him.

His primary objective now is the Mount Yujing Space. This girl practically breathes peculiarity; it would be prudent to settle this at a later time.

Intrigued, Lin Feng followed behind the girl, who seemed to be wholly incapable of sensing her new stalker.

After a while, Lin Feng discovered that this girl with the giant sword case was actually walking in circles around the smaller Black Heavenly Treasure Tree!

Obviously, the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree in the alternate dimension could not be compared to the size of the actual body outside on Mount Yujing, but its bulk was still shocking, surpassing any other tree Lin Feng had previously seen.

Judging by the girl's path, each round would be a minimum of 2-3 kilometers.

Apparently, this girl intended to shoulder her mountainous sword case and continue to circle aimlessly around the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree.

Moreover, she seemed to be planning to walk like this forever.

Following the girl's circular path, Lin Feng walked to another side of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, where, antipodal to that chubby kid, sat another weirdo.

An unkempt old man lounged below the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree. He has a Go board in front of him and was playing – by himself.

The old man's hair was matted and greasy, and his clothes were filthy and full of holes.

But he himself seemed completely oblivious and was putting all his focus on the board.

Lin Feng took a closer look. The battlefield situation on the board was constantly in flux, but not progressing move by move.

First, the board was covered in pieces, and the game was in its final stages.

The next moment, the copious pieces have vanished, leaving only a few behind. A new game has started.

Coming to face the old man, Lin Feng knelt down and looked into his eyes.

As he thought, like the chubby kid and the girl with the sword, the unkempt old man simply ignored Lin Feng's arrival, as if he did not even exist.

Lin Feng stood up, shaking his head, and silently grimaced. "What the heck is all this nonsense?"

"Confound it!" Lin Feng forcibly subdued the questions arising in his mind. "I just hope they would not interfere with me as I take over the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and the Mount Yujing Space.

Lin Feng flew above the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and sat at the top of the crown.

Merging his consciousness into the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree below, a thunderclap sounded in his mind.

In Lin Feng's consciousness, layer after layers of glittering walls, overlapping and dense, were trapping him in the center.

"These…all these are spatial energy!" Lin Feng was awestruck. "Every gleaming wall is the product of the folding and compression of countless dimensions, unthinkably dense and virtually indestructible."

These walls…there are trillions upon trillions of them!

Remembering that the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree forged an alternate dimension on its own, Lin Feng instantly realized that the universal Way and Concept this strange tree possessed were the absolute power – Space.

Having attained this realization, it all made sense to Lin Feng now. "The Black Heavenly Treasure Tree is Space, while Mount Yujing, simultaneously demonstrating the two supreme ways of Time, Eternity and Instant, possesses the Way of Time."

Together with the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds' spirit and way of life creation.

Space, Time, in addition to Life, and a complete world has been constructed.

"No, something else is missing." Lin Feng closed his eyes, deep in thought.

After a long time, Lin Feng's eyes abruptly opened, flashing. "There's still Idea, or rather, Spirit!"

"Life is more than just being alive. Flora, fauna, humanity, these are nature, Creation and Evolution."

"But so are the mountains and the rivers, the rocks and the sea – the lifeless!"

Lin Feng stood up and gazed at the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree below his feet. "Space, Time, Matter, Spirit. These four things make up a complete world!"

Lin Feng has never felt so buoyant as he was feeling now. He felt his spirit being one with the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree below.

Not just the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, but Mount Yujing, the peripheral Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds, all of these established incredible telepathic connections with Lin Feng.

Space, Time, Matter and Energy, the four combined attained a perfect, harmonious equilibrium, merging into one like an independent world.

At this moment, Xiao Yan and Co., who were still loitering outside the sea of purple clouds, were astounded as they discovered that the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds, which have been blocking their paths, are retracting back into the interior of Mount Yujing.

The white-jade-like mountain was displayed before their eyes, with nothing else in their path.

As they stood, bewildered, Lin Feng's voice sounded from the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree on the summit.

"Don't just stand and stare, all of you, you can come up now."

Xiao Yan and his fellow disciples stared at each other, their faces full of gloom.

"Looks like we spent far too long here, Master has already run out of patience." Xiao Yan said, grimacing.

Zhu Yi and Wang Lin both sighed, their heads bowed.

Xiao Budian's eyes blinked rapidly. "We didn't complete the mission, the reward is definitely gone. But…master shouldn't punish us because of that, right?"

His three seniors looked each other in the eye and all grimaced.

They did not bother saying anything more and, depressed, flew up on the back of the Feilian.

Seeing that his four disciples have ascended the mountain, Lin Feng attempted to re-form the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds. It served as an excellent barrier, able to effectively impede those who attempt to enter Mount Yujing.

But although everything had been fine before, once he attempted to issue the command, Lin Feng's connection with the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, Mount Yujing and the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds were almost severed.

Shocked, Lin Feng ruminated further and discovered that in fact, he and the three wonders were in a very fragile equilibrium. Even with the slightest disturbance, the equilibrium would be broken and considerable effort would have to be taken to reestablish the connection.

"Basically, my mastery is too low." Lin Feng immediately thought of the reason.

After all, he was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator now, and how strong was the three wonders, great powers of the universe? Establishing a connection with them was a tremendous feat by itself; further attempting to command them was, doubtlessly, a man trying to move a mountain.

Lin Feng calmed himself and, upon probing further, had a rough idea. "If I can reach the level of Aurous Core, maybe I would be able to control part of this power."

As he thought, a system notification rang out beside Lin Feng's ear.

"Congratulations to the host, having found a blessed spot that fulfils the requirements and suitable for starting a sect!"

"Congratulations to the host for completing the third Main Quest!"

"Main Quest Special Reward, issued!"

Chapter 140: The System Showing Its Dodgy Nature

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: - -

"Congratulations to the host, having found a blessed spot that fulfills the requirements and suitable for starting a sect!"

"Congratulations to the host for completing the third Main Quest!"

"Main Quest Special Reward, issued!"

Non-stop system notifications sounded beside Lin Feng's ear. Upon hearing them, he smiled. "Although I can't control it perfectly yet, at least I found a suitable blessed spot, and thus the System determined that I completed the Main Quest to find a sect headquarters."

"Not bad, not bad at all. Let me see what's the reward."

Excited, Lin Feng opened the mystery treasure chest.

Before him is a single thin vine. To the untrained eye, it seemed not at all remarkable.

But after reading the description, Lin Feng was euphoric.

Cosmic Ray Vine-Root, which can be planted in an independent dimension blessed spot, capable of changing the rate of time flow within the independent dimension as the host commands.

Maximum – hundredfold acceleration or deceleration.

"This is definitely some good stuff!" Lin Feng was elated.

Just think about it, if you cultivate for a hundred years in the Vine's dimension, only a year would have passed in the outside world. How great would the effect be on your strength?

For example, Xiao Yan and Murong Yanran had made a pact to settle it once and for all after three years. If Xiao Yan had entered the Cosmic Ray dimension then for cultivation, by the time three years passed and he emerged for the duel, he would actually have cultivated for a solid three hundred years.

Of course, the lifespan of cultivators has its limits. One's lifespan would only increase as one's cultivation level improves. If you encounter a bottleneck, your lifespan may reach its limit before your level improves.

If you still refuse to exit the Cosmic Ray dimension then, naturally you'll die of old age inside.

In fact, every major sect would create this variety of time-acceleration dimension, for their own disciples to cultivate and thus have an edge in external competition.

It's just that the extent of acceleration for each sect's dimension differs.

The Sword of Radiance Sect, for example, has one of those dimensions, which is why Lin Feng had been worried about the upcoming duel between Xiao Yan and Murong Yanran.

Now that they have a time-acceleration dimension themselves, they need not worry about being disadvantaged in this respect.

Although he did not know about the maximum time-acceleration of the Sword of Radiance Sect's dimension, Lin Feng believed that the 100x maximum acceleration of his Cosmic Ray dimension should be among the best even in the entire Grand Celestial World.

In addition, the Cosmic Ray Vine possessed the attribute of growth capability. As it continued to bloom and strengthen, the maximum acceleration would increase further.

As Lin Feng was giddy with delight, the system notification rang out yet again.

Main Quest 2.0 – Sect Establishment, Mass Intake of Disciples

Mission Description:

Outstanding immediate disciples, unprecedented self-created mantras, a blessed spot with a first-rate environment.

Congratulations to the host for completing the first phase preparations – the sect can be formally founded now.

From this day, the host must formally establish the fundamentals of the sect and admit thirty disciples with Potential Values above 25, laying the foundations of Phase Two for the sect.

Mission time limit: Ten years, if incomplete by then, the host will be obliterated.

Lin Feng blinked his eyes. "Disciples with Potential Values above 25?"

His heart sank.

Potential Value, that should be referring to the four values suggested by the Talent Analysis Device – Innate Ability, Intelligence, Determination, and Fortune.

If calculating the sum, for the four disciples he had now, Xiao Budian had Innate Ability of 10, Intelligence of 8, Determination of 8, and Fortune of 8, totalling 34.

Xiao Yan had Innate Ability of 8, Intelligence of 9, Determination of 9, and Fortune of 8, totalling 34.

Zhu Yi had Innate Ability of 7, Intelligence of 9, Determination of 8, and Fortune of 10, totalling 34.

Wang Lin had Innate Ability of 5, Intelligence of 10, Determination of 10, and Fortune of 8, totalling 33.

Previously, Lin Feng had always been trying to figure out what criteria the system had used to select these four immediate disciples.

If it was to have at least one attribute maximized, then Xiao Yan obviously does not pass.

If every attribute had a minimum value, then Wang Lin would probably not qualify.

Lin Feng had also wondered if it's that the sum of the four values must reach a certain line.

Looking at it now, this line was probably 30 for the total Potential Value.

The System's standard for immediate disciple could only be met by Potential Value of 30 or more, then the Potential Value of 25 or more mentioned in the mission now was obviously for an Inner Echelon-like group.

Later on, standards might be lowered further still, for the admission of Outer Echelon or Taught-again disciples.

Lin Feng grimaced. Thirty did not sound like a lot, but Potential Value of 25 really wasn't attained that easily. The average score across the four attributes must be above 6 – this benchmark might be slightly lacking by the Great Void Sect's standards.

But in the case of the Mount Shu Sword Sect and what was once the Great Thunderclap Temple, that would definitely meet the standard for Inner Echelon disciples or Core disciples.

For lower-tier sects like the Sword of Radiance sect and the Intense Flaming Sword Sect, someone with a Potential Value exceeding 25 would absolutely be something to fight over.

This kind of disciple, and thirty at once? It's really not a small number.

Even if the time limit was extended to an unprecedented ten years, Lin Feng still felt that the System was finally showing its dodgy nature.

"One by one, how impossibly long this would take?" Lin Feng quickly settled on an idea. "Work hard to raise my cultivation level, then get the name out and entice talents to come to the door. This is the way to go!"

At this point, Lin Feng did not want to waste even a minute and immediately planted the Cosmic Ray Vine-Root in the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree's alternate dimension.

The slender vine attached to the diminished Black Heavenly Treasure Tree in the dimension. Upon contact, it firmly rooted itself on and wrapped itself around the tree.

The little vine, initially just over a chi long, started to grow rapidly, continuously drawing nutrients from the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree. In the blink of an eye, it had grown to over ten meters.

Towards the Cosmic Ray Vine leeching off it, the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree did not develop feelings of resentment, but instead proactively supplied nutrients to it.

The two powers – Time and Space – produced a perfect, harmonious resonance.

From now on, this little world shall be named the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World.

It's just that, compared to the gigantic Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, the Cosmic Ray Vine now is but a little sapling.

As the Cosmic Ray Vine proliferated, Lin Feng could clearly sense that his connection with the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, Mount Yujing and the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds growing more and more intimate.

The four of them, together, comprised a small world at Mount Yujing, which was perpetually becoming more strong and stable.

To really reach Partial Perfection, Lin Feng has to form his Aurous Core first.

"Acceleration start, rate – 100x!" Lin Feng paused, and then issued a command to the Cosmic Ray Vine.

In the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World, a series of distortions in the space-time fabric occurred. After an interval, everything was peaceful once again.

"What a pity, now that the Cosmic Ray Vine hasn't fully matured yet, only myself, its master, could enjoy the time acceleration." After some silent observation, Lin Feng was greatly dismayed. "Or else I could call Xiao Budian and the others here to cultivate together, that would save lots of time!"

"I guess I could only wait for a period for the Cosmic Ray Vine to fully mature, and then get them in too."

Lin Feng sat cross-legged at the crown of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and began his cultivation.

The System's mission time was based on Lin Feng's own time, so regardless of him being in the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World or the outside world, ten years remained ten years.

But Lin Feng still began cultivating without hesitation, because he believed in an axiom – a beard well lathered is half shaved.

Also, if he couldn't increase his cultivation level fast enough to control the Mount Yujing dimension, Mount Yujing would continuously be exposed like this above Mount Kunlun, being vulnerable to others who covet it.

Before the lockdown, Lin Feng made some advance preparations. First, he laid out the Two Elements of Creation Formation on the summit; without the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds, at least it will provide some peripheral protection.

Simultaneously, he instructed his four disciples to stay on Mount Yujing to cultivate, and not to leave the mountain. Apart from the world above the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, they could roam freely everywhere else.

Spiritual Energy was extremely abundant on Mount Yujing, in addition to containing the Way of Time. Xiao Yan and the others were somewhat aware too, and, as expected, focused on cultivating on the mountain.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed in the outside world.

On this day, immense flames abruptly erupted in the distant skies, instantly forming a sea of fire as far as the eye can see and igniting the clouds on the horizon.

From the sea of fire, an enormous fire crow with a wingspan of almost ten zhangs emerged!

Chapter 141: Its Owner Is Indeed Powerful

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: - -

On Mount Yujing, both Xiao Budian and Xiao Yan were restless. After finishing their training for the day, they explored Mount Yujing to discover the mystical properties of this white jade divine mountain. They visited almost every single blessed spot and notable sight.

Zhu Yi sat under the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and looked into the distance, watching the rise of fall of the clouds in the distant. His heart was at ease. "Looking far from above to expand one's heart and mind. The ancients did not lie. As the river flows and the divine aura encompasses me, my master's training spot is indeed a good place."

Here, Zhu Yi suddenly felt a strong aura of death, which made him wrinkle his eyebrows. "Third Brother's spell has such a strong killing intent."

He stood up and sat elsewhere around the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree.

There, Wang Lin sat cross-legged. The Pearl of Styx was placed before him

A dusky-yellow ball of light from the Pearl of Styx. In the ball of light, a middle-aged man clad in rough fabric was moaning in pain.

Around him, heavy black death aura floated and ate away at his soul.

This person was the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, Ma Wu, who had been turned into an Unholy Marionette by Lin Feng and handed over to Wang Lin in the Great Swamp of the Ancient Regions.

Wang Lin now used him to practise his Celestial Finger of the Styx.

Despite only possessing a shred of soul left, Ma Wu, thanks to the traits of an Unholy Marionette, was able to maintain the mastery level of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. With Wang Lin's current mastery, he was unable to kill a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator with his Lonely Death Thumb.

However, as Ma Wu was constrained by the powers of the Unholy Marionette, he was unable to retaliate. He could only serve as a living punching bag for Wang Lin to practise his spells on.

Zhu Yi arched his eyebrows, and said, "Third Brother. While you may have a vendetta with your enemy, wouldn't it seem fair to leave him alone after taking your revenge? Even if he's a despicable person, why not just kill him straightaway instead of humiliating him like this?"

Upon hearing Zhu Yi's words, Wang Lin's mouth twitched. He almost wanted to sneer, but he decided against it.

He was a pragmatist true and true, and hence he could not agree with Zhu Yi's words.

However, Wang Lin did not mention that this was Lin Feng's plan. He also did not mention that the person who turned Ma Wu into an Unholy Marionette was Lin Feng.

"If Second Brother does not like it, I won't train anymore," Wang Lin smiled, and then stopped practising his Lonely Death Thumb before sending Ma Wu's soul back into the Pearl of Styx.

Zhu Yi looked at Wang Lin in the eye. He was sure that once he left, Wang Lin would continue practising on Ma Wu.

As he was just about to say something, Zhu Yi's expression changed as he looked towards the sky in the far distance.

There, a giant ball of flame appeared. In an instant, it turned into a boundless sea of flame, almost as if it had set every cloud alight.

A giant fire crow, whose wingspan stretched to almost thirty meters, appeared from the sea of fire.

The shadow of two cultivators appeared. Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian had reached the top of the mountain and reached the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree. Along with Zhu Yi and Wang Lin, they stood with serious expressions as they watched the coming of the great fire crow.

Xiao Yan said solemnly, "Looking at the power of this demon, it is akin to an Aurous Core stage cultivator. He's probably a Demonic Commander."

The newcomer was indeed the Fire Crow Demonic Commander, who had killed Li Chen Xi and company earlier on. Originally, it wanted to search for the Fire Crow Young Master, who had been imprisoned by Lin Feng. However, as the Fire Crow was trapped in Lin Feng's Black Wind Flag, it was unable to detect the Fire Crow Young Master's demonic presence.

In the end, the Fire Crow Demonic Commander searched around Mount Kunlun for about a month with no end result in sight.

The temperamental Fire Crow Demonic Commander was like a volcano that was about to blow.

"What a divine mountain!" These few days, the Fire Crow Demonic Commander flew to the vicinity of Mount Yujing. Without the Heaven Revolving Purple Cloud, Mount Yujing was exposed in the skies. As soon as the Fire Crow Demonic Commander exited the clouds, it saw it.

"The young master had previously mentioned about a mystical place near the northern foot of Mount Kunlun. Could this be it?" The Fire Crow Demonic Commander thought as it flew towards Mount Yujing.

As it approached within 10 li of Mount Yujing, it was stopped by an invisible wall.

In the sky above Mount Yujing, there were numerous rays of light, glittering in and out of one's vision. It formed a giant formation marked with strange patterns and diagrams.

The Fire Crow Demonic Commander's eyes grew big. "Someone reached here before and ascended the mountain already? He also cast the Mountain Defence Spell Formation?"

"However, that would not be enough to stop me." With a wicked laugh, it spread its wings. Black smoke churned and covered the sun.

The giant fire crow opened its mouth and spat out balls of burning fire. The crimson flames were extremely hot. They turned from red to blue and was hot enough to melt gold and boil steel.

The Fire Crow Demonic Commander did not possess a Kindling of the Grand Sun Primordial Flame like its master and hence could only use the standard fire crow attack of the Heavenly-Gifted Rising Sun Primordial Fire.

However, its mana was more powerful than the formation set by the Fire Crow Young Master, which required up to hundreds of fire crows.

The Rising Sun Primordial Fire's power was pushed to its limits and turned everything into a sea of flames.

The Fire Crow Young Master's Grand Sun Primordial Flame may be powerful, but it was only an ember. The Rising Sun Primordial Flame used by the Fire Crow Demonic Commander engulfed the skies. For what it lacked in quality, it made up for it in terms of quantity.

The all-engulfing flames smashed unforgivingly against the spell formation.

"Could your spell formation stand up to this?" The Fire Crow Demonic Commander gloated, and in that instant, its smile froze on its face.

The fearsome Rising Sun Primordial Fire smashed into the spell formation. However, the spell formation began to shine brightly and turned.

In the instant that the spell formation turned, the Rising Sun Primordial Fire turned into cascading water!

The giant amount of water flowed down from the spell formation and turned into a giant rain. It poured over the Kunlun Mountains, situated below Mount Yujing.

While Lin Feng isolated himself, his Two Elements of Creation Formation was able to react by itself.

During his time in the Great Swamp of the Ancient Regions, the Two Elements of Creation Formation changed the very order of Heaven and Earth. It turned the heavens into the earth and vice versa, burying the Great Zhou Empire's 3000 cultivator-soldiers of the Divine Martial Army.

Now, with the same inversion spell, he turned the Fire Crow Demonic Commander's burning flames into flowing water.

Because it turns by itself, the great formation did not retaliate. Rather, it just dissolved the Fire Crow Demonic Commander's attack.

But this scene left it stunned.

If the opponent simply retaliated and destroyed its Rising Sun Primordial Fire, the Fire Crow Demonic Commander would not be as shocked as it was now.

But the Two Elements of Creation Formation transformed the very molecules of creations and turned fire into water. That greatly shocked the Fire Crow Demonic Commander.

In that instant, a giant gale began to blow in another corner of the sky. It blew away the clouds, and an old man in a green robe appeared.

The green-robed man looked with admiration at the Two Elements of Creation Formation and Mount Yujing. "How did I not discover such a good spot earlier? This is vastly superior compared to my Aeolus Sect's achievements."

"This place is more suited for my Aeolus Sect. I must obtain it."

The Fire Crow Demonic Commander looked at the old man in the green robes and snorted. "Liefeng, so it's you."

The green-robed old man was Gao Long's master. As he felt the presence of the Feilian that he had bestowed upon Gao Long nearby, he decided to bring his disciples, Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin, along. This was the master of the Aeolus Sect, the Liefeng Priest.

The Liefeng Priest and the Fire Crow Demonic Commander were old enemies and were not unfamiliar with one another. He swept the Fire Crow Demonic Commander with his gaze and said, "You demon. How dare you enter the northern foot of Mount Kunlun? Are you not scared that you would not be able to go back?"

The Fire Crow Demonic Commander said slyly, "You old c*nt can't keep me back."

The Liefeng Priest did not show anger upon hearing these words, for he knew he could not defeat the demon by himself. As such, he had no plans to attack it. Rather, he observed the Two Elements of Creation Formation that guarded Mount Yujing quietly.

After thinking for a long while, the Liefeng Priest slammed his palms together and the suddenly split them apart.

Two giant gales of wind flew towards separate directions, and from the middle, they tore open a vacuum in the sky.

The Liefeng Priest attempted to use this technique to destroy the formation, but the Two Elements of Creation Formation turned automatic and transformed the Liefeng Priest's gale into a rumbling thunder.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As a few thunderclaps sounded, a deep and low sound was emitted. Yet, the Two Elements of Creation Formation remained unharmed.

"Turning water into fire, turning wind into thunder, what a good technique!" The Liefeng Priest said, his expressions turning increasingly serious. "Its owner is indeed powerful!"

The Fire Crow Demonic Commander went "Hmph!" and said nothing.

The Liefeng Priest counted with his fingers for a while and then took out a fan from his robes.

The fan shone with seven divine lights, which began to expand. They emitted a powerful mana.

The Fire Crow Demonic Commander's face turned, "You actually…"

Without waiting for it to finish, the Liefeng Priest raised his Seven Colored Feather Fan and swooped it down with force against the Two Elements of Creation Formation!

Chapter 142: The Formation Bursting Drum

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: - -

As the Liefeng Priest took out the Seven Colored Feather Fan, the Fire Crow Commander's facial expression changed.

The Feather Fan may look normal, but it radiated with seven levels of brilliant light, which consists of seven distinctly coloured light circles layered upon one another, undulating and diffusing formidable waves of mana from within.

The Fire Crow Commander had seen this Feather Fan before, but there were only six light circles around the Feather Fan back then.

Even the Six Coloured Feather Fan had left the Fire Crow Commander trembling in fear, and he needed to use all his powers and abilities to counter it.

Not in his wildest dreams did he think that the Liefeng Priest could ascend to the next level and release the seventh light circle by meditation.

If it was used against him, Fire Crow Commander's only option would be to flee and make a quick getaway.

The Liefeng Priest raised the Seven Coloured Feather Fan and waved it at the Two Elements of Creation Formation with force.

The Seven Light Circles trembled, and a gentle breeze drifted towards the magical formation in the distance.

The strength of the wind appeared weak and paled in comparison to the Wind-type spells previously demonstrated by the Liefeng Priest.

However, this gentle breeze was actually tangible with form and substance, and sparkled with dazzling radiance, much like the Seven Coloured Feather Fan.

The expression in Fire Crow Commander's eyes became one of solemnity and pensiveness as he stared right at the Seven Coloured Wind, while a satisfactory smile broke out across the Liefeng Priest's face.

It was not very long ago did the Liefeng Priest meditate with his Aurous Core stage magic item Seven Coloured Feather Fan and released the seventh light circle, effectively upgrading the overall power of the item.

This Seven Coloured Wind specifically countered divine powers, and though it may look weak and feeble it had the quality of permeating with silent tranquillity and quietly dissolved the adversary's accumulated spiritual energy.

Whether it was a spell, magic item or formation, it would be penetrated by the Seven Coloured Wind and dispelled, subsequently banishing it into formlessness and nothingness.

The Liefeng Priest firmly believed that even though the Two Elements of Creation Formation before him was enigmatic and complex, it was still unable to resist his Seven Colored Wind.

Indeed, nothing exceeded his expectations. The Seven Coloured Wind noiselessly permeated into the formation as it came into contact with it, and yet the Two Elements of Creation Formation did not seem to have any reaction at all.

Fire Crow Commander's expression was getting increasingly solemn. He thought to himself,

"This old hag's Seven Colored Wind is indeed insidious. I have to be careful not to fall into his trap."

The light beams from the magic formation began to fade, seemingly dispelled by the Seven Colored Wind into nonexistence.

The Liefeng Priest glanced at Fire Crow Commander and said, "Demon, I shall not bother with you for now as I have some business to attend to today. Leave the Kunlun Mountains immediately, or there will be consequences if I see you again."

Fire Crow Commander did not say a word as his facial expression darkened with gloom.

The Liefeng Priest smirked and began flying towards Mount Yujing in a gust of ferocious wind.

However, he did not get far before a dazzling beam of light appeared right in front of his eyes.

Once again, the colossal magic formation loomed across the sky. The Liefeng Priest crashed straight into it, and the force of the collision was so great that his body was sent barrelling into the air.

Having been caught off guard, the Liefeng Priest was sent tumbling. It took immense effort to counter the force of the movement but he fell back into Kunlun Mountain anyway.

"Ha ha ha ha!" Fire Crow Commander was surprised by the scene as well and exploded in a bout of laughter.

The Liefeng Priest was utterly humiliated. Infuriated by Fire Crow Commander's incessant mockery, he fired another wave of Seven Colored Wind and exclaimed, "Take that, Demon!"

However, Fire Crow Commander was ready for the onslaught. He cackled as he spread his wings and dodged the attack with ease, "Old bastard, why don't you go and attend your 'business'? Ha ha ha ha!"

Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian could not hold back their laughter as they looked on from the summit of Yujing Mountain.

As they were inside the magic formation from the beginning, they knew that the Two Elements of Creation Formation had never dissipated at all in the first place.

The power of the Liefeng Priest's Seven Colored Wind lay in the Seven Coloured Brilliant Light, but the strength of the wind was menial.

The Seven Coloured Brilliant Light vanished into thin air as soon as it entered the magic formation. The wind was debilitated by the magic formation's effect in changing Heaven and Earth and was subsequently reduced into a single flash of lightning – so weak that the thunder was as soft as a buzzing mosquito.

The Liefeng Priest had no idea that his Seven Coloured Wind was dispelled from the very start.

Without any further external attacks, the magic formation returned to its original tranquillity as it was not damaged by the Seven Coloured Wind.

"What an ugly sight!" A clear and bright voice boomed from over the horizon out of the blue.

Both the Liefeng Priest and Fire Crow Commander were caught by surprise, and as they turned around towards the horizon a flash of sword radiance split open the sky and approached with electrifying speed.

Yet, what was more distracting was a white cloud, which looked so light that it could be blown away by the wind and yet, it was travelling at a speed faster than the sword radiance before it.

In the blink of an eye, both the sword radiance and the white cloud appeared in front of them, and the figures of two young men appeared.

Perched atop a flying sword was a youth wearing a green cone-like hat. He had pale skin, a few white spots on his face and wore a look of condescension. It was Liu Xiang, a disciple of Shu Mountain in his Aurous Core Stage.

The other youth roosted on top of the white cloud was clad in white, with a faint smile on his face. It was Chen Gang, the disciple of the number one sect in the Divine Lands, the Great Void Sect.

Even though neither of them had yet to speak, their display of magical powers already instilled fear into the Liefeng Priest and Fire Crow Commander.

The Liefeng Priest sized up Chen Gang and his facial expression suddenly changed. He coughed and probed, "Your Grace, are you the disciple of the Great Void Sect, Chen Gang?"

Chen Gang looked at the Liefeng Priest and said, "Are you the Liefeng Priest from the Aeolus Sect? I remember you."

A look of pleasant surprise flashed across the Liefeng Priest's face as he nodded and said, "Priest Chen has graced Aeolus Sect in the past, and your elegance has grown since then."

Even though he had a smile on his face, the Liefeng Priest was crying inside. If the Great Void Sect had set its sights on Yujing Mountain, there would no longer be a part for Aeolus Sect to play.

Indeed, Chen Gang smiled as he declared, "I am here on official business. I will speak with you when I'm finished."

Chen Gang turned and studied the Two Elements of Creation Formation and Mount Yujing for a brief moment.

Liu Xiang frowned as he asked, "Are you sure this magic formation is the work of the b*stard Lin?"

Chen Gang nodded as he confirmed Liu Xiang's suspicions, "There is no question about that."

Liu Xiang cast his gaze upon Yujing Mountain and said, "Chen Gang, this bastard's life is mine, and Mount Shu also wants a piece of this divine mountain. We will not just hand it over to you."

Chen Gang chuckled as he approached the Two Elements of Creation Formation and announced,

"I am the most senior disciple of Great Void Sect, and I come bearing orders from the Priesthood for Lin Feng. Lin Feng, come out quickly and receive your orders."

"Lin Feng, come out quickly and receive your orders…"

"…receive your orders…"

Chen Gang's voice resonated across the sky, and the echoes of his announcement ricocheted

between Heaven and Earth.

After a long moment of silence, Yujing Mountain showed no signs of any response.

Lin Feng was shutting himself in for cultivation, thus he ignored the message even if he heard it.

Xiao Budian and his three other friends listened to the commanding tone of the message with displeasure, but they could only swallow their pride as Chen Gang was a cultivator at the Aurous Core Stage.

Chen Gang responded to the continued silence from Mount Yujing, "If you're not coming out, I'm going in."

He peered at the Two Elements of Creation Formation and clapped in approval, "It's really not a bad magic formation. You must have had a lucky streak."

"However, to the Great Void Sect, the foundations are shallow and this is considered child's play."

Chen Gang did not take any action as he spoke. He knew that he was going to humiliate himself – like the Liefeng Priest and Fire Crow Commander did – if he tried to fight the Two Elements of Creation Formation with his own abilities.

At the first chance he got, Chen Gang flashed the magic item gifted to him by Pang Jie, which was specifically made to counter Lin Feng's magic formation.

He cast a spell with his left hand as he tossed out a tiny drum with his right.

The drum flew into the sky and grew as it shot through the air until it became an enormous drum twenty feet high and with a radius of approximately forty to fifty feet.

The entire drum was covered in mystical patterns, and its entire artistic conception was frightening.

The appearance of the drum astonished everyone at the scene, including Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian inside Mount Yujing, the Liefeng Priest and the Fire Crow Commander on the outside, and even Liu Xiang, who was right beside him.

This huge drum was much like the descent of the supreme master above the nine heavens down onto the world of Man, to command the fate of Heaven and Earth and the existence of all beings.

The Liefeng Priest blurted out as he beheld the giant drum, "It is the nemesis of all magical formations, the Formation Bursting Drum!"

The Formation Bursting Drum was one of the symbolic magical treasures of Great Void Drums. It had the power to overwhelm the destinies of beings under the Heavens. Its level was not like other magic items – the Formation Bursting Drum was a formidable and powerful magic treasure.

Only the Cultivators of the Nascent Soul could create such a magic treasure by meditation, and yet the Formation Bursting Drum has enough power to overpower even them.

"No, it cannot be the real Formation Bursting Drum." The Liefeng Priest quickly recovered and reasoned with himself – If this was the real drum, the presence of it being there already had enough force to pulverize everyone, let alone the pounding of the drum.

This drum should be a replica of the real Formation Bursting Drum. Somebody must have forged a replica based on the powers and conception of the original drum.

The man who created this drum should be a cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage. This magic item belonged to the Nascent Soul stage.

Even so, this drum was an absolutely terrifying magic item.

"The Great Void Sect dominates the Heavens. An impressive formation such as this should be automatically volunteered as tribute. Instead, it is used to deny me entry. It is futile indeed!" As Chen Gang faced the Two Elements of Creation Formation, he smiled and said as he clasped his hands, "I will reason with you after I dismantle your formation."

"Boom, Boom, Boom!"

Earth-shattering sounds emanated from the drum in the sky.

The pounding of the drum rocked the heavens. Despite being a replica, the drum embodied the destructive force of the original one, as well as the ability to eradicate all kinds of magic formations.

Earlier, the Great Thunderclap Temple's mountain defence tool, the Great Sun of the Buddha Formation, was overcome by the Almighty Celestial Destroyer Formation of the Great Zhou Dynasty with the help of the Formation Bursting Drum.

The sound waves seemed almost tangible as they rolled towards the Two Elements of Creation Formation like crashing tides.

Faced with such a strong adversary, the Two Elements of Creation Formation began to shimmer and morph to defend against the attack.

However, the current Two Elements of Creation Formation was but a weaker version. It lacked a magic treasure to take pointers from and the materials to set it up and was relying entirely on a formation map to harness the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth.

Lin Feng himself was unable to direct the magic formation and was completely reliant on the autonomy of the formation to work itself.

Even if it were the Almighty Destroyer Celestial Formation from the Great Swamp of the Ancient Regions back in the old days battling the drum, it would still have been a completely different story.

Under the assault of the pounding of the drum, the light streaks that formed the Two Elements of Creation Formation were struggling to defend themselves and were slowly falling apart.

In the end, the magic formation completely crumbled from the immense pressure with a bang.

With that, all the light streaks collapsed into a singularity and back into a tiny formation map. The small item flew up the heavens and back into the small portal created by the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree.

Chen Gang's eyes sparkled as he said, "Sooner or later, it will all be mine."

Liu Xiang could wait no longer as he watched on beside Chen Gang. He immediately took the lead and charged up Mount Yujing as he shouted, "Bastard Lin, show yourself!"

The Liefeng Priest and the Fire Crow Commander hesitated as they glanced at each other before they flew up to the summit of Mount Yujing.

Even though Chen Gang was the last to land, he had already assumed the role of leader. He beamed as he looked around with an expression of satisfaction and complacency.

"Don't blame me for dragging you out and embarrassing you in front of your disciples if you don't come out now."

The tip of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree extended into the void. There was another smaller Black Heavenly Treasure Tree growing over there.

Golden vines were spreading all over this shrunken version at this point in time.

Strangely, the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree had no reaction to the obviously parasitic vines. It seemed as if the two were in some sort of symbiosis and near-perfect harmony and integrated as one being.

Lin Feng sat at the very tip of the tree with his eyes closed and knees crossed.

One month passed in the outside world, but time in the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World was faster by a hundred times, essentially one hundred months.

Lin Feng had been meditating in the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World for more than eight years.

Throughout these eight years, Lin Feng was painstakingly seeking enlightenment on the mantra. The mana within his body was brimming with fullness as he had already reached the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment stage. He was only a hair's breadth away from the Aurous Core stage.

All of a sudden, a light streak pierced through the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World and landed right before his eyes. It was the map of the Two Elements of Creation Formation.

Lin Feng did not so much as cast a glance as if he did not even notice.

His focus was all on the pool of mana within his body, atop the crucible on the spiritual altar.

Purple energy rolled around inside the Supreme Crucible and was combined with Lin Feng's Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams in training and meditation.

Uncountable elements of the world and creation flickered within the purple energy, appearing for an instant and then disappearing, and subsequently fused into a spiralling shadow.

This sphere-like shadow was also bouncing around in the purple energy and emanated a faint golden sparkle.

This was the embryonic form of the Aurous Core, even though it was illusory and far from the authentic Aurous Core.

Throughout these eight years, Lin Feng was accumulating mana within his body in preparation for the Aurous Core.

Yet, the journey to the Aurous Core was far from easy. The Qi Cultivation Stage and the art of cultivation and meditation were but a preparation phase, and the Foundation Establishment Stage represented an introduction where the individual began to consolidate his foundations. Only when one began the journey to the Aurous Core could he say that he had finally begun studying the art of cultivation.

Why was this so? Cultivators in the Qi Cultivation Stage did not extend his or her lifetime, and even the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage had a lifespan that did not exceed two or three hundred years.

Only when the cultivator had reached the Aurous Core Stage would his lifespan explode to more than a thousand years. At this point, he would be defying nature.

Therefore, in the world of cultivation and magical powers there was only one saying, "As you swallow an Aurous Core, you break through life and death."

Forming the Aurous Core broke through the limits of normal life, challenged the traditional concept of death and bequeathed the individual with thousands of years of unfettered freedom.

This gave the individual enough time to continue exploring and seek enlightenment on the true meanings of Heaven and Earth.

The essence of the Aurous Core was in its immortality and immunity to decay.

In order to achieve that, besides accumulating enough mana and spiritual energy one also needed to attain a certain level of sentiment and empathy for the dilemma between life and death.

Recently, Lin Feng's cognition entered an intriguing state.

On one hand, he channelled all his focus on seeking enlightenment on mantra and accumulating spiritual energy and mana.

On the other hand, an incalculable number of disorganized and messy scenes and a myriad of strange and aberrant items flashed across his mind.

All these scenes included his experiences after entering the Great Celestial World. He recalled his confusion and anxiety upon entering the new world, taking in Xiao Budian and his other disciples as well as his journey to find Mount Yujing.

There were memories from his previous life as well. Some things that were meant to be forgotten and lost in the tides of time vividly resurfaced for unknown reasons.

He reminisced sprinting along the road as a toddler, teasing girls in primary school, perspiring on the court during secondary school as well as losing sleep over the college entrance examination.

The air flow and life around Lin Feng gradually returned to stillness and dissipated slowly until there was nothing left. It almost seemed as if his whole body had turned into a corpse with no signs of life.

Livelihood returned to Lin Feng as he drew his next breath and his whole body freshened up in an instant.

Lin Feng's physical state oscillated between death and rehabilitation.

Lin Feng opened his eyes. "There are several big fears in our lives. What can we do to relieve ourselves of them?"

Life was birth, age, illness and death.

Fate was a success, procession, decadence and emptiness.

The passing of life and the cessation of karma was not the ultimate end. Instead, it was a new beginning as one entered the next cycle.

The cycle went on and on and it never stopped.

Ending it all was for the sole purpose of a new beginning.

This immovable determination was the true animus and meaning of eternity. Everybody descended into decadence and decay and nobody could escape that. The idea was to regain new life after collapsing from a path of dilapidation and start again.

The key to the Aurous Core was this particular dauntlessness, portrayed as immortality and permanence.

Whether or not the cultivator can attain the Aurous Core did not depend on the goodness of one's actions, the openness of one's mind, the standard of morals and ethics nor the effort one put in.

What was important in attaining was Aurous Core was this unflinching attitude and belief towards existence; it was the immense courage and fearlessness even when faced with life's greatest fears and adversaries.

It was with these virtues of indomitability, courage and bravery with which one could break through life and death.

A faint smile broke out across Lin Feng's face.

"I'm coming."

The mana and spiritual energy within the cuticle trembled and shook as they integrated into the faint shadow of the Aurous Core triggering an explosion of brilliant radiance.

The golden streaks of light gradually changed into a purple hue. Heavenly tunes could be heard faintly from within this purple light as if it were a song of transcendence originating from a faraway land, and filled with the most profound principles of the world.

At the center of the purple light was a spherical Aurous Core, sparkling in all its grandeur and brilliance.

Lin Feng stood up with a whoosh. In an instant, his white plumage hat and robe disintegrated into ash.

With a wave of his hand, the purple light streaks around him surged from the void and enveloped Lin Feng.

Lin Feng stretched out his arms while the purple energy once again cocooned him and morphed into a wide-sleeved purple-colored cloak. There was no denying the dazzling elegance.

The Black Heavenly Treasure Tree's leaves shifted, swayed and trembled even though there was no wind, almost as if it was celebrating for Lin Feng and sharing in his glory.

Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, Mount Yujing, and the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds in the sky.

Lin Feng could feel that this new equilibrium between him and the three was much more resilient than before.

Lin Feng smiled coldly and scoffed, "Have the unwelcomed guests outside made enough of a ruckus?"

Chapter 144: Let's Fight Them Together!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: - -

When they saw Chen Gang and the others land on the summit of Mount Yujing, Xiao Yan and his fellow disciples became crestfallen.

Zhu Yi said sombrely, "The opponents' magic items are formidable and our Master is still doing closed-door training, with his spell formations lacking support. If the enemy forces attack the mountain now, the result would be catastrophic.

Xiao Budian's small face was also very solemn. He scanned the surroundings and said, "The Black Heavenly Treasure Tree seems very impressive. Let's compel the enemy to attack it and let the Treasure Tree deal with them."

Zhu Yi pondered for a moment. "We still don't know the exact capabilities of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree - all these are just speculations. If our predictions are incorrect, we might harm the tree instead."

"Rely on ourselves." Xiao Yan spit out the stalk of grass in his mouth. "Master is still harbouring in the Treetop Cave, it'd be best not to disturb him."

Wang Lin nodded solemnly. Zhu Yi took a deep breath and said, "The enemy forces have great numbers, we must be careful."

"Feilian? So, it was you all who killed my disciple Gao Long!"

As the four were discussing, they suddenly heard the loud cursing of the Liefeng Priest.

The Feilian lying beneath the Treasure Tree shuddered. When it saw the Liefeng Priest, it immediately gained the spirit to spread its hoofs and race over.

But before it moved, the Feilian was already faltering, and secretly glanced back at the four.

It had previously used its spells to attack Gao Fan of the Aeolus Sect to please its new master. If the four intruders were to know about this, there would be big trouble.

Especially since Gao Fan was only abducted by Lin Feng and was still not dead.

The Liefeng Priest looked fumingly mad, but his mind was in fact unusually calm. He was pretending to be angry.

He saw the Great Void Sect and the Mount Shu Sword Sect setting their sights on the Mount Yujing Cave and knew that his own sect bore little hope.

But Mount Yujing was still within the boundaries of Mount Kunlun, right at the Aeolus Sect's doorstep, and the Liefeng Priest would be extremely unwilling to just give up like that.

"With the Great Void Sect and the Mount Shu Sword Sect battling each other, my Aeolus Sect might not be completely void of hope." With this thought in mind, the Liefeng Priest decided to join forces with Lin Feng's pair himself, instead of being marginalized by Chen Gang and Liu Yang.

With the Liefeng Priest himself joining the battle too, even if he could not claim the Mount Yujing Cave, taking the surrounding lands would still be a decent consolation. Otherwise, it would seem petty to have lost the dignified holy lands of Tao training.

The Liefeng Priest turned his head and looked at Chen Gang and the others. "My most beloved disciple died by their hands. I must take revenge."

Although the Fire Crow Demon Commander had ascended Mount Yujing, he knew his place and the limits of his powers so did not utter a single word.

Chen Gang and Liu Yang both smiled. How could they possibly not see through the Liefeng Priest's intentions?

But Mount Yujing was within the Kunlun mountain range. If they invaded the cave in the future, they would inevitably have to deal with the local landlord, the Aeolus Sect. So Chen Gang and Liu Yang would not mind cutting the Liefeng Priest some slack.

Liu Yang waved his hand impatiently. "I just want to kill that little beast named Lin. I don't give a damn about everyone else."

Chen Gang smiled slightly and pointed at the Xiao Budian and Zhu Yi with his index finger. "I still need that kid and that green-sleeved scholar. Don't harm them. The other two are free for you to kill."

Xiao Yan twitched his eyebrows and snickered without saying anything. The mana enveloping his body started to swirl, evidently being fully prepared for battle.

The Liefeng Priest scanned his opponent and sneered, "Insolent brat."

He knew that Chen Gang and Liu Yang had already acquiesced in his actions, so he relaxed momentarily and summoned a spell with one hand, shooting out over ten rays of green light from his mouth.

The green light rays arranged themselves into position following specified patterns and coordinates, instantaneously forming a spell formation, just like the Demon Destroying Cyclone that Gao Long had displayed before.

But compared to Gao Long whose formation required assistance from the Green Magical Flag, the Liefeng Priest was clearly more powerful, being able to rely on just his own mana to complete this massive formation.

And the intensity of his Demon Destroying Cyclone far exceeded Gao Long's. At the heart of the formation, a giant black tornado emerged and charged upwards towards the heavens like a huge black dragon.

The black tornado roared towards Xiao Yan and the others, about to obliterate them into dust.

Although Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and Xiao Budian were already trained in the Foundation Establishment, they nonetheless felt immense pressure when faced with an Aurous Core Cultivator whose mastery level far surpassed theirs.

"Work together to defeat the enemy, don't fight alone." With a sweeping glance, Zhu Yi already calmly devised a strategy. "Big Senior will defend the forefront from the first wave of assaults, I will provide cover support."

"Little Junior, don't care about anything else. Prepare your Infinite Thunderstorm, and try your best to boost its power - the higher, the better. We need to rely on you for a counterattack."

"All three of us will defend the borders and prepare for the opportunity to support Little Junior when he unleashes his spell."

Wang Lin looked at Zhu Yi without a word and nodded fervently.

Xiao Yan bumped his fists together and laughed, "Bring it on!"

The unleashed Crash of the Eight Trigrams did not expel much power but instead formed a barrier in front of him in the fashion of the Eight Trigrams: Sin Destroyer.

The spell's power released layers upon layers of tremors. From afar, the space before Xiao Yan had already distorted into a blur.

Based on his personality, Xiao Yan disliked playing defensively. But when faced with a formidable foe from the Aurous Core Stage, Xiao Yan did not want to take any chances, instead choosing to trust his comrades and to use his own body to repel the opponent's strongest first wave of assaults.

The black tornado collided violently with Xiao Yan's Eight Trigrams: Sin Destroyer and was unceasingly battered and weakened by it.

Chen Gang and the others were slightly stunned. "What kind of spell is this? A Foundation Establishment cultivator in the initial stage actually withstood an attack from an Aurous Core cultivator?"

The Liefeng Priest could stand it no longer, and with a muffled grunt, continued to strengthen the intensity of the Demon Destroying Cyclone.

Although the ravaging tornado was incessantly ruptured by the Crash of the Eight Trigrams, the Liefeng Priest's mana was far stronger than Xiao Yan's. The black tornado used its heavily boosted destructiveness to successfully strike Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan did not make a sound, his feet planted firmly into the ground refusing to budge while his entire body was pushed backwards by the cyclone.

But he didn't fall and forcefully withstood the Liefeng Priest's attack.

Behind him, Xiao Budian's expression remained dead serious, the swelling mana had already morphed into a giant swirling loop above his head.

On one side were thunderbolts churning in hurricanes, on the other side were howling gales enveloping thunderclouds. Both sides were distinct and did not obstruct each other.

But the two forces, like a natural Tai Chi diagram, swirled and morphed into one.

Both wind and thunder, infinite fusion!

Within the swirling loop, wind and thunder surged, with the intensity of both sides rising at an alarming speed, seemingly growing endlessly.

The Liefeng Priest had already noticed Xiao Budian's Infinite Thunderstorm spell long ago, and murmured under his breath, "Looking at its form, the spell's power might be infinitely raised, even to a point where his Foundation Establishment mastery level cannot adequately control it, and it may even damage my Aurous Core levels."

With that thought, the Liefeng Priest was no longer composed. He continued to push his Demon Destroying Cyclone against Xiao Yan's Eight Trigrams Sin Destroyer while he took out his Seven-coloured Feather Fan and swept it at Xiao Budian.

All of a sudden, a gust shimmering with rainbow-colored hoops of light blasted towards Xiao Budian.

Zhu Yi was already monitoring the Liefeng Priest's movements and physical condition from time to time, and immediately whipped out two swords - a Kun-styled sword and a Qian-styled sword.

Together, he cast the Tai Hexagram!

In the Tai Hexagram, Heaven is below Earth, small efforts garner big rewards. Good fortune, proceed.

Peace will come to those with greatness!

When Heaven and Earth met, all become one. Yin and Yang balanced out and harmony was achieved. Righteous men prevail while evil men fall.

Zhu Yi's Tai Hexagram Sword immediately dissipated the Liefeng Priest's seemingly righteous but insidiously sinister Seven-coloured Gale.

At that moment, Xiao Budian's Infinite Thunderstorm was already complete. If he raised its power even further, the spell would be uncontrollable and it may backfire instead.

Zhu Yi and Xiao Yan had bought enough time for him. Xiao Budian glared at the Liefeng Priest and bellowed, "Go!"

The roaring rolling wind and thunderstorm rapidly charged towards the Liefeng Priest violently.

The Liefeng Priest was enraged. He clasped his palms together furiously and unleashed a formless, colourless and completely transparent gust of wind.

The Nine Heavens Formless Squall!

A seemingly non-existent yet extremely overpowering squall split the rolling wind and thunderstorm apart in a flash.

The Nine Heavens Formless Squall didn't stop there and sped towards Xiao Yan.

Zhu Yi's body flickered, and he bounded to Xiao Yan's side yielding dual swords.

The Mountain Concealment Technique!

The Dun-styled Sword brought Xiao Yan and himself far away, just dodging the Nine Heavens Formless Squall by the skin of their teeth.

And then, the seemingly absent Wang Lin, who was only a Qi Disciple Level 5, suddenly attacked.

Chapter 145: Breakout!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: - -

Wang Lin suddenly revealed himself and pointed his thumb at the Liefeng Priest.

It was still the Lone Death Thumb. Given Wang Lin's current mastery levels, he could only channel enough mana for a single-finger spell.

But this Lone Death Thumb was different from before, it no longer produced a circle of deadly gas.

Wang Lin compressed the deadly gas repeatedly until it became a cube with sides approximately an inch long.

Wang Lin already knew the jarring difference in mastery levels between him and the Liefeng Priest. This finger spell wouldn't even harm the Priest and was only to obstruct him for a short while.

As the Liefeng Priest was casting his spell and manipulating the Nine Heavens Formless Squall, a black cube with inch-long sides suddenly enclosed the tip of his right index finger.

The pungent deadly gas grotesquely corroded the Liefeng Priest's finger. The intense power of death that was concentrated on such a tiny spot suddenly exploded, catching him off guard. The Liefeng Priest realized that the physical body of an Aurous Core cultivator couldn't withstand this surge of power.

He sneered, rechannelled his mana and completely shattered Wang Lin's Lone Death Thumb. But it nonetheless affected his ability to control the Nine Heavens Formless Squall.

This effect only lasted for a short moment, but Xiao Budian had already utilized this sliver of time to attach the Infinite Thunderstorm onto his body, and leapt in front of the Liefeng Priest as quick as lightning.

The Liefeng Priest was slightly amused. He swept his left hand at Xiao Budian as if he were swatting a fly.

He thought, even if he had not undergone much physical training, he still possessed mastery at the Aurous Core stage. Furthermore, Xiao Budian was a mere child, how strong could his body be? It shouldn't matter much if he came too close.

But within the next second, the Liefeng Priest realized that he was wrong, in fact, ridiculously wrong!

Xiao Budian snickered and with a monstrous fist wrapped by wind and thunder, mercilessly pummelled the Liefeng Priest's arm.

If it weren't for the self-healing properties of the mana of Aurous Core stage cultivators, the Liefeng Priest's arm would have been fractured by Xiao Budian's punch.

By then, the next move was already unavoidable. Xiao Budian's direct punch to his face sent him flying backwards.

Although Xiao Budian was also blown backwards by the repelling shocks of the Liefeng Priest's mana, the Liefeng Priest was now ridiculously embarrassed.

The Fire Crow Demon Commander and Liu Yang both laughed gloatingly, while Chen Gang shook his head and sighed.

The Liefeng Priest was momentarily stunned and dying from shame. He glared at Xiao Budian and the rest with eyes that looked like they were spitting fire.

"You didn't seize the chance we gave you, don't blame us." Liu Yang snickered and walked forward. "Three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and one Qi Training stage cultivator could nearly defeat an Aurous Core stage cultivator. That's honestly quite shocking."

"But the fun's over. Get lost, you lot. Make that dog named Lin come out. How long more is he going to hide?"

Xiao Yan twitched his eyebrows and scoffed, "To speak so audaciously, what feud do you bear with my master? Looks like you haven't been disciplined by my master often enough."

Liu Yang immediately hollered back, "Your dog shit of a master is merely a little runt in the Qi Training stage. If he hadn't plotted against me, I would have hacked off that dog head of his long ago."

"Qi Training stage?" Xiao Yan and the others looked at each other with puzzled faces.

Chen Gang smiled, "Maybe he isn't in the Qi Training stage anymore, but his mastery level wouldn't exceed the Foundation Establishment initial stages.

He looked at Xiao Yan and the others, and said slowly, "In other words, your supposed master's mastery level is just the same as yours. He's just better at pretending to be stronger than he actually is."

"You people are young and inexperienced, it's not surprising that you'd be deceived by him." Chen Gang smiled and said, "But it's still not too late now, you still have a chance to redeem yourselves."

Chen Gang's gaze first landed on Xiao Budian, his eyes glimmering with awe. "To succeed at the Foundation Establishment at such a young age, your talents are indeed extraordinary. With your calibre, you should train under the wings of the Great Void Sect. You can expect to achieve great things, your future would have infinite possibilities."

"Training under any other master would be wasting your potential. Only the Great Void Sect can give you the necessary guidance."

He then looked at Zhu Yi and sighed, "To take less than two years to succeed at the Foundation Establishment, you truly are Meng Bingyun's son. Zhu Hongwu was really misled, but now his son has returned. You should come back to the Great Void Sect as well - it was your mother's sect, and it should be yours too."

"As for you two," Chen Gang glanced at Xiao Yan and Wang Lin, "one so brave and tenacious, and one so calm and collected. You both have decent spirit. You may follow me back as well. If you pass our trials, you too will gain a chance to taken in by the Great Void Sect."

Wang Lin was silent, but he seemed unmoved by the invitation.

Xiao Yan stared at Chen Gang for a good while, then snickered, "Don't you feel really good about yourself, talking to yourself non-stop over there?"

If this was the Xiao Yan still at Wuzhou City, he would be elated to hear that he could train under the Great Void Sect. But now, it has already lost its appeal.

Instead, it's Chen Gang's conceited and seemingly charitable attitude that is highly off-putting for Xiao Yan.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's reply, Chen Gang just grinned, too lazy to refute. He then ignored Xiao Yan and Wang Lin, turning his gaze to Zhu Yi.

Zhu Yi calmly met his gaze. "I only have one question, where were you all when my mother died?"

Chen Gang sighed and looked at Xiao Budian again.

"Hey!" Xiao Budian promptly pulled the side of his eyes and made a wry face.

Chen Gang chuckled. "Stubborn and unrepentant still. Then that's too bad." With that, he raised his hand and lifted a finger.

Over a hundred rays of light suddenly appeared, intersected in the air and formed a gigantic cage, trapping the four inside.

"The Heavenly Cage Mantra?" Xiao Yan gasped, raised his arm and hammered the Crash of the Eight Trigrams down, striking a bar of the light prison.

The bar of light bent and seemed to be on the verge of breaking.

Chen Gang grinned and summoned a spell with his left hand. Using his mana, the bar of light quickly bounced back to its original state.

The power of Xiao Yan's Crash of the Eight Trigrams may be able to shatter the light prison, but their difference in mastery levels ensures that Chen Gang repairs the prison bars much faster than the rate that Xiao Yan destroys them.

Chen Gang smilingly replied, "Give it up and follow me quietly."

Xiao Yan's face turned sour. "Dream on!" He then drew a huge black sword from his storage bag, its length exceeding even his own height. It was the Nefarious Almighty Sword.

Once the Sword was drawn, everyone's hearts began palpitating wildly, seemingly sensing a catastrophic calamity befalling them soon.

"Ahhhh!"

Xiao Yan clenched the hilt and belted a long battle cry. Endless streaks of blue and indigo flames surged through the Nefarious Almighty Sword, forming an incredible sea of fire, and violently struck the light prison trapping the four.

Chen Gang's Heavenly Cage Mantra was about to break.

"This inferno?! It's purple ... could it be the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire of the Seven Legendary Primordial Fires?" Chen Gang finally became sullen, "This brat, he can actually control such a magic sword with the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire?"

"This sword is too dangerous, it's not something you should be possessing." Chen Gang clasped his hands together and finally unleashed his true powers. Channelling his mana with the Dragon Morphing Mantra, he formed a radiant silver Light dragon which propelled into the skies.

The silver dragon was over three hundred meters long, its massive body snaking through the overhead skies. Its deafening roar reverberated through the sea of clouds and shook the four seas.

Chen Gang summoned another spell, "The Celestial Spells of the Tide-changing Nine Dragons!"

With a great roar, the silver Light dragon split its body into nine, forming nine smaller Light dragons. They linked their heads and tails together and encircled Xiao Yan and his compatriots, surrounding them completely.

Chen Gang then changed his spell, " Nine Dragons Encirclement Formation!"

The nine Light dragons spat out silver light incessantly, creating a luminous mist that enveloped the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire and the four.

As a stellar disciple of the Great Void Sect, Chen Hang had an impressive arsenal of spells and raised a small flag following the Nine Dragons Encirclement Formation.

"The Anti-water Flag!"

Amidst swelling gusts of wind, pounding torrents of black mud gushed out from the Anti-water Flag and blocked out the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire.

"This is the Swelling Earth, and has been used to quell massive floods since ancient times, but its abilities are ever so versatile. Chen Gang grinned, "Even if it's used against fire instead of water, it should still be decently effective."

The combination of the Swelling Earth's defence and the Nine Dragons' offence instantaneously rendered Xiao Yan and the rest immobile.

Xiao Yan looked very grim. While withstanding the blazing white light from the Nine Dragons Encirclement Formation, he had to endure the pressure of controlling the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire.

This Primordial Fire is extremely punishing, and continuously saps the user's strength while it attacks.

Judging by the situation, the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire would already go out of control before the Nine Dragons Encirclement Formation even evaporates them.

Zhu Yi and the rest started summoning their individual spells to support Xiao Yan.

Chen Gang could already taste victory, and laughed, "Now would you finally believe that your master is a pretentious liar?"

"Indeed, he does know a few spells and has a few treasures, but his foundation is too shallow, such that any truly competent fellow can defeat him. He is just a contemptible buffoon."

"If he is not, why hasn't he revealed himself? Secret training? He just doesn't dare to come out." Chen Gang smiled, "Why not? Because he's scared. Because I destroyed his formations, his secret weapons."

Chen Gang turned his gaze to the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree. "He's afraid that I will destroy his final ace in the hole, afraid that I can defeat that puppet of his and seal his fate."

"Unfortunately for him, I do have a trick up my sleeve to deal with his puppet."

Upon saying this, Chen Gang shook his head and smiled, "Formations, puppets, these are his two greatest assets. Without these two, what else does he even have?"

"And what makes you think that you can predict my attacks?"

A calm voice suddenly spoke from above them.

Xiao Yan and his juniors looked at each other and rejoiced, "Master has returned!"

Chen Gang and Liu Yang turned grim and looked above them.

On the peak of Mount Yujing, where the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree stands, dense purple clouds suddenly rolled above the tree and overcast the sky, dying the heavens purple.

The majestic purple clouds then joined to form a staircase that ascended into the heavens.

Lin Feng appeared in purple robes, then slowly and leisurely strode down the Purple Cloud Stairs.

Among the purple clouds, treasure trees, treasure towers, sweet rain, galaxies, treasure swords, screens ... endless images surfaced at that moment and surrounded Lin Feng in a spectacular sight.

Lin Feng casually glanced over at his disciples trapped in the Nine Dragons Encirclement Formation.

"How presumptuous."

Chapter 146: With the touch of a finger

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: - -

"Impudent." Lin Feng took a look at Chen Gang's Nine Dragons Encirclement Formation before raising his right hand and performing a slashing action.

The power of the Fences of the Heavens was activated and it caused the nine silver streaked dragons to tremble in unison.

An area of vacuum suddenly appeared inside the Nine Dragons Encirclement Formation and the silver mist disappeared.

The silver mist was separated by something that appeared to be an invisible barrier.

The nine silver streaked dragons had their heads and tails disconnected by the wall and thus, the Nine Dragons Encirclement Formation was naturally broken.

Chen Gang was caught off guard and remained shocked as he stared at Lin Feng who was floating in mid-air, surrounded by the purple clouds.

After a short moment of hesitation, Chen Gang placed his palms together in front of his chest and the nine dragons merged to form a humongous dragon which was a good three hundred meters long. The dragon was facing Lin Feng as it opened its mouth. A powerful sphere of light formed within its mouth as the sheer amount of energy and mana created ripples in the pockets of space surrounding it.

"Roar of the Celestial Dragon!"

The gigantic silver dragon which was formed from light gave out a deafening roar which echoed up to the highest of clouds.

Even though this dragon was merely made from silver light, it was like an Immemorial Celestial Dragon roaring towards the Heaven.

The sheer strength and volume of the roar were as though millions of humans and millions of beasts were roaring at once.

The sphere of light which was in the dragon's mouth became a beam of white light that was shot towards Lin Feng. The white light was so bright that it could have penetrated the Heaven and the Earth.

Lin Feng smiled and simply waved his hand.

An invisible barrier emerged between the gigantic silver dragon and him, taking the blow from the white beam. The white beam was extremely powerful and destructive but it was unable to penetrate the impregnable barrier just like how the waves of the ocean are unable to move the corals of the ocean.

The confident expression on Chen Gang's face changed and it was replaced by one that he would not be proud of. He turned around and screamed at Liu Yang. "Liu Yang!"

Initially, he had his doubts that Lin Feng would be an easy opponent. If not for Liu Yang's promise that Lin Feng was only at Qi Disciple Level 10 back at the Black Cloud Earth Palace, Chen Gang would never have come to Lin Feng to look for trouble.

Liu Yang also donned a stunned face as he was also in utter disbelief.

How is that possible? It is impossible for him to become so strong in a matter of two years. In fact, it is still a few months away from two years.

What level is he at right now? I cannot even make a calculated guess at all. Parrying Chen Gang's Roar of the Celestial Dragon with so much ease... Most Aurous Core Stage cultivators would not be able to do it either. What is going on?

Suddenly a thought occurred to Liu Yang as he muttered it out, "There must be some treasure or item that he is using! That must be it! It can't be his own strength. It is impossible!"

Chen Gang looked at Liu Yang with hatred and thought, receiving late intelligence is often worse off than having a weak team mate.

At this moment, Lin Feng had already come down from the Purple Cloud Stairs. Xiao Yan and the three others rushed forward to pay their respect to their master.

"Good." Lin Feng smiled and nodded. He looked at Xiao Yan before complimenting him, "Xiao Yan, your performance was not bad. It is commendable that you can now harness a percentage of the power of the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire. However, you have to continue to work hard. I believe you can sense what you are lacking."

Xiao Yan replied with the utmost respect, "I understand. Thank you, Master, for your teaching."

Lin Feng continued on and gave his feedback to Xiao Budian and the rest.

The commotion coming from this activity contrasted against the silence from Chen Gang and Liu Yang.

Chen Gang composed himself and changed to an expression which was more welcoming.

"This must be Cultivator Lin?" Chen Gang smiled. "I was simply giving your disciples some tips during our short sparring session. It was fortunate that we did not destroy the harmonious relationship that we share."

Lin Feng heard his words and looked at him with a playful look, "Does this mean that now I have to thank you for your help?"

Chen Gang gave an awkward cough before replying, "That would not be necessary."

He regained his composure before continuing, "The reason why I am here is because I have received instructions from the Great Void Sect's current All-Under-Heavens Strider, Senior Pang Jie, to invite you to join the Great Void Sect as an Honorary Elder.

Lin Feng replied coolly, "Oh? An Honorary Elder?"

Chen Gang replied with respect, "That is right. Our Great Void Sect is mankind's number one place for cultivating. It has a wide network of talents from everywhere and has a say in most of the things happening everywhere. However, a talent like yours truly would still be a valuable addition to our Sect."

He stole a glance at Lin Feng before continuing, "You might enjoy the freedom right now but you are still a vulnerable individual at the end of the day. If you were to join the Great Void Sect, we can all cover for one another."

"In the near future, if you were to face any form of dangers or troubles, or if you were to be in the hunt for any rare medicine or herbs, you can definitely rely on the Great Void Sect for assistance." Chen Gang's face was sincere as he shifted his glance towards Xiao Budian and the rest. "Your disciples will also be able to study and learn the Great Tao Spiritual Penetration if they were to come under the tutelage of the Great Void Sect."

Lin Feng gave off a light laugh, "You sound very confident, eh?"

Chen Gang smiled and replied, "I am just illustrating the truth after all."

"So if I were to enter the Great Void Sect as an Honorary Elder, what do I have to do?" Lin Feng extended the conversation.

Chen Gang gave a dry cough and looked at the foot of Mt. Yujing. "Once you enter the Great Void Sect, you would naturally have to stay at the mountain where the Great Void Sect resides. This little home you have over here will definitely no longer be of use."

"But you don't have to worry. The Great Void Sect will definitely send people to come down often to maintain your little place. We will not let this mountain go to waste."

Chen Gang saw how Lin Feng had remained calm and relatively cooperative in this little conversation and felt much more confident. He thought, "When anyone hears the name of our Sect, even the most arrogant of independent cultivators would not dare to be too haughty."

"Your level of cultivation might have exceeded our expectations but the moment I throw out my Sect's name, you have no choice but to accede to my requests.I don't believe that you'll dare to challenge the Number One Sect in the world." As he thought about this, Chen Gang smiled at pointed at Zhu Yi. "Your disciple here might need to follow me and pay Senior Pang Jie a visit. He needs him to assist him in some matters."

He then looked at Xiao Budian but hesitated before giving up on speaking. Chen Gang thought, "This kid must be the apple of his eye. I shall not spite him right now. There will be plenty of time once we get back to the Great Void Sect."

After hearing Chen Gang's invitation and request, Lin Feng turned around to look at Zhu Yi before turning back to reply to Chen Gang. "Oh? What do you need my disciple for? May I know what matter is it regarding?"

Chen Gang replied in a displeased tone, "This is not something that you can be made known to."

Lin Feng was not angered by his words but rather the cynical smile on his face was increasingly apparent.

"Actually, it doesn't really matter. Because I would not allow the Great Void Sect to do whatever they want with my disciple."

Chen Gang was shocked by Lin Feng's words and replied, "What do you mean?"

Lin Feng replied coolly, "When I was in my retreat for cultivation, you came over to disrupt the peace at my place. Now, you dare to try to lay your hands on my disciples. Shouldn't I be the one asking you 'what do you mean'?"

"Is this how the Great Void Sect train their disciples?" Since they are inadequate when it comes to disciplining and educating their disciples, let me teach you some courtesy."

Chen Gang was enraged and replied furiously, "How dare you! You dare challenge the authority of the Great Void Sect?"

Lin Feng crossed his hands behind his back and replied coolly, "It is indeed a reputable and authoritative name to be labelled as the Number One place for cultivation. If nothing were to happen, I would never have intended to get myself into trouble with the Great Void Sect."

"But now that you have attempted to climb over my head, do you actually think I'll let you go easily? You can try asking the lad next to you. Back in the time when he offended me and I retaliated by pushed him under the waters of the Blood River, did I care whether he was from the Mount Shu Sword Sect?"

Liu Yang glared at Lin Feng after hearing his words. It was natural for enemies to flare up when they meet one another. After hearing the embarrassing past, he was even more enraged.

He howled, "I just don't believe that you little cunt is actually that powerful!" Liu Yang unsheathed the long sword which hung around his waist and continued, "This time round we shall pitt our true abilities against one another. There will not be any intervention or assistance from the stupid Unholy Blood River. Let's see what you got!"

Liu Yang used his left hand to form some symbols as he pointed his long sword at Lin Feng with his left hand. The blade of the long sword exploded into a bright flash in no time.

Thousands and millions of streaks of energy ran across the blade of the sword causing a large disturbance to the spiritual energy at the peak of Mt. Yujing.

Following the chants of Liu Yang, the streaks of energy concentrated onto the long sword. A domineering cold glow started to appear on the sword in front of everyone's eyes.

The glow from the sword was bright and it captured everyone's attention. Every little spark which formed the glow was the consolidation of sword Qi and mana to form a single destructive sword aura.

This new sword was the result of the consolidation of millions of sword Qi. The power of a million sword was definitely not one that anyone would want to face.

Mount Shu Six Passages of Swords: Shaoshang Sword!

Shaoshang Sword is the most domineering and toughest sword among the Six Passages of Swords.

Sword Qi, Sword Aura and Sword Radiance belong to entirely different levels of power.

Zhu Yi's most powerful single style, Way of the Facile Blade, "Fire blazes in the Pond, Change", can generate hundreds of feet of Sword Qi. However, Liu Yang's sword radiance was only ten feet long. Nevertheless, Liu Yang's ten feet sword radiance could easily slash Zhu Yi's hundred feet sword Qi into smithereens.

That single stroke of Shaoshang Sword was called the Ten Feet of Winter!

There were no fancy moves but sheer power and energy within this single stroke of the sword, which contained every single drop of Aurous Core Stage mana. This single move was the essence of decades of training which Liu Yang had gone through.

The Fire Crow Demonic Commander and Liefeng Priest thought to themselves with much bitterness, "Both cultivators are at the Aurous Core Stage. But when it comes to their actual fighting power, there is still a stark difference after all."

Chen Gang's eyes were focused on the sword as he muttered to himself, "It seems that Mount Shu's reputation as the Number One place for cultivating the art of swordplay is really true to its name. They have managed to perfect the art of swordplay to an extent which even our Great Void Sect would not think of challenging."

"Dieee!"

Flashes from the Ten Feet of Winter blinded everyone as the sword radiance flew towards Lin Feng.

Facing the enormous pressure from a legendary stroke of swordplay, Lin Feng laughed it off as he lifted his finger.

Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm!

The space in front of Lin Feng twisted in a mysterious way and the sword radiance which was moving across the patch of space disappeared.

It disappeared just like this, without any sign nor sound.

Liu Yang was utterly stunned.

The Fire Crow Demonic Commander and Liefeng Priest were also gaping at the disappearance of the Ten Feet of Winter.

Chen Gang could not believe his eyes either as he looked at Lin Feng with much confusion.

Lin Feng looked at Liu Yang calmly before lifting his finger again, setting the Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm off.

Liu Yang saw the movement in Lin Feng's finger and a chill ran down his spine. He broke into cold sweat as a sense of danger hit him hard.

He did not know what Lin Feng just did and definitely could not comprehend the abstrusity of the Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm. All he knew that he was about to face something which was unbelievably dangerous. Something catastrophic was about to befall him.

"I must run now before it is too late!" he thought to himself. That was the only thought in his mind now but just when he was about to take his leave, he found his body immobilised.

As he looked down onto his body, he realised there was no longer any remnants of it.

"Where is my body?!"

And that was the last thought in Liu Yang's head. The next moment, his decapitated head rolled down into the deepest valley Mount Kunlun.

In the meantime, on top of Mount Yujing, Chen Gang and the rest were simply speechless as they watched the headless body crumble to the ground.

An Aurous Core Stage cultivator from Mount Shu Sword Sect was defeated! It was not any cultivator but a rather reputable sword cultivator.

He was destroyed with a single finger or rather to be more precise, two flicks of the finger.

Only cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage were able to move between voids and spaces, and explore the limitless abstrusities of the voids and spaces.

Hence, any foe of Lin Feng who had yet to attain the Nascent Soul Stage or did not possess any spells or items which could control spaces or voids would be rendered helpless by Lin Feng's Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm.

The moment Lin Feng had attained the Aurous Core Stage, as long as the opponent did not possess any methods to manipulate spaces, Lin Feng would be unparalleled against anyone below the Nascent Soul Stage!

Chapter 147: To Swallow and Stomp

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: - -

Chen Gang and the gang stood mouth ajar at the sight of Lin Feng slaying Liu Yang.

The main disciple of the the greatest sect in the art of swordplay in the Grand Celestial World was actually slayed?!

Liu Yang was no ordinary disciple. He was studying the top secret manuals of Mount Shu Sword Sect and was the main disciple of the Mount Shu Six Passages of Sword. He was definitely one of the brightest disciples and someone to look out for in the future.

"Why...you..." muttered Chen Gang as he pointed and Lin Feng who casted a grin which silenced Chen Gang.

Seeing no way out of the gridlock, Chen Gang felt his pockets for a jade disk and flung it into the air. The sunlight lit up the green disk and shone blinding light onto the ground. From the light walked out a tall middle-aged man dressed in black armour.

His black armor covered his body but could only barely masked his two-metre tall frame. As he stepped out of the light, the crowd could not help but gasp in awe. His skin glistened with a mysterious purple undertone as his coarse and long hair hung loosely at his shoulders. His moustache held in place like two symmetrical curved blades in addition to thick, angry eyebrows.. However, what stood out wasn't his build or his look, but the fact that two ivory horns stuck out from his forehead.

He descended with crushing presence, something that felt almost god-sent. This middle-aged man was no mortal, his prowess sensed by all who were on site. In majestic fashion as though a king visiting his own land, the mysterious person stood on the ground without a word.

Fire Crow Demonic Commander exclaimed "It's a dragon?"

Lin Feng eyed this new character with interest, as his gaze hovered about the man's horn and whiskers.

Legend had it that before humans came into existence, demons roamed and ruled the world. Amongst all that walked the Earth, the Immemorial Dragons were the most divine creatures yet.

"No way...it's not just any reptile. It has to be a dragon. It's an actual dragon!" commented Liefeng Priest.

"Legend has it that the Great Void Sect actually reared dragons. So it's actually real? No wonder they are the number one sect for cultivation. Only they can afford such luxuries!"

The man glanced at Lin Feng, then let out a cough that shook the ground, "Chen Gang, might he be the worthy opponent you speak of?"

Chen Gang nodded unwillingly.

This man was a descendant of the original Immemorial Dragons, a sub-species known as the Bastille Black dragons. Unadept in magic and transformative abilities, their physical strength and armor was known to be the strongest among the dragons. Although the dragon was only at the Demonic Commander Stage, his physical ability allowed him to engage in close combat with Demonic Lords.. Chen Gang had intended to use him against Lin Feng's Demon Avatar, but now circumstances dictated otherwise. Hence, he had decided to reveal his trump card and to pursue a swift and decisive victory.

"He doesn't seem to be a challenge" scowled Lian Jia Black Dragon.

"Second-hand trash like you don't get to pick your opponents," scolded Lin Feng. In that instant, Lin Feng's Demon Avatar appeared in front of him in murderous fashion. Lin Feng smiled lightly and tapped on the helmet of the Avatar. The helmet immediately shattered and revealed the face beneath for all to see.

Chen Gang gulped as he registered the appearance of the Avatar. It was an exact copy of Lin Feng! The avatar was much taller than Lin Feng, but both their features were more identical than twins.

There was only one explanation for this.

The avatar was not a puppet from a spell but rather the physical split of Lin Feng's spiritual powers. Chen Gang could not fathom how any mortal could wield such power.

Ever since Lin Feng had attained the Aurous Core Stage, he had managed to transform the Demon Avatar into the Avatar of Ares. The avatar understood Lin Feng's intentions, given that they were one and the same. He was like an extension of Lin, his doppelganger guardian angel, yet one that had tremendous might.

"Satisfied? I think he should be worthy enough.." mocked Lin Feng as he looked at the Bastille Black Dragon straight in the eyes.

The avatar calmly opened its eyes and immediately, its killing intent could be felt by all. Black smoke seemed to fill the air, caused by the evaporation of water around his body. His aura heavy and daunting. The mere sight of him sent shivers down one's body. Suddenly he vanished.

The next moment, he reappeared in front of the Bastille Black Dragon and a direct punch to its face. No cheap shot, just one that was lightning fast. The dragon backed a couple of yards, reeling from the shock and pain. The air split at the impact, sending waves across the ground. Almost immediately, the Bastille Black Dragon stood his ground and charged back, trying to catch the split moment the avatar needed to regain his posture. The Bastille Black Dragon was after all a master tactician and battle-hardened veteran.

However, to his surprise, the Avatar of Ares wasted no time at all. The dragon threw out its most powerful punch, one charged with momentum and rage at the humiliation he had just suffered. Instead of dodging or blocking it, the avatar met it square on with a punch of his own.

Upon the collision, a deafening roar reverberated through the air like millions of atomic bombs. No one could stand looking at the sight. Sparks flew as titans clashed. The sound of the heaven's roar. A punch for a punch. Fist met by fist. Bone collided with bone.

The ground trembled at the impact, like the strongest earthquakes that ever saw the Earth. The Bastille Black Dragon felt completely alone. It was him against the world. His world shook. The sky turned a dark red. Then gray. Then red. The sky itself started to tear, then it cracked. The onlookers on site felt like a thousand enemies waiting for his demise. Waiting for him to waver and fall, like hyenas waiting for a kill. Time seemed to pass slower than usual. Every second felt like an hour, every minute an eternity. However, everything was only felt by the dragon.

Crimson blood splattered as the Bastille Black Dragon's limp body flew through the air. The battle between the Aurous Core Stage cultivator and demon had been decided in a single punch. It was over. Decided in one blow.

With no time to waste, the Avatar of Ares advanced to continue his attack. He was already on a roll. Suddenly, the air in front of him was filled with the colours of the rainbow and numbness started to creep into his body. It was a sneak attack from Liefeng Priest.

The Avatar of Ares forced the wind out from his body with sheer willpower. Following which he pounced onto Liefeng Prince and tore away his arm with a single tug!

"Monster...I'll explode my Aurous Core to perish with you!" cried the priest. That was the true trump card of a cultivator from the Aeolus Sect. An average cultivator had to attain the Nascent Soul Stage before he could explode his own soul to injure his enemeies whereas the mantra of the Aeolus Sect allowed its cultivators to explode their Aurous Core.

The Avatar of Ares stood still, unmoved by Liefeng Priest's actions. Suddenly, the air behind him howled as thick black fumes rose from the place where the Bastille Black Dragon was lying.

Out of the smoke, everyone could hear a deafening dragon roar which had a tinge of anger and pain in the roar.

A humongous black dragon rushed out from the black fumes as it dashed towards the avatar.

The Bastille Black Dragon had reverted to its true form. One with dragon bone and tooth, impenetrable armour, and a formidable appearance.

The aura of the dragon was so strong that even cultivators, especially the weaker ones, would not be able to help themselves from bowing to the dragon.

The Avatar of Ares let go of Liefeng Priest and turned to face the dragon. In dauntless demeanour, he delivered a solid punch to the dragon's head. The sheer force of the impact threw both parties backward.

The wind stirred behind the avatar, yet there was nothing when he turned to look.

It could not be seen nor traced!

It was the Nine Heavens Formless Squall!

With a single hand, the Avatar of Ares blocked the spell without looking. His armour hissed, then split, revealing the muscular flesh beneath. Yet the usually formidable spell was still not strong enough to harm him.

For the first time, Liefeng Priest felt true fear. His trump card barely delivered a scratch. He turned his heels in what was a feeble attempt to escape, but Demon Avatar was already there.

"How dare you!? I'll explode my Aurous..." shouted the priest

"Shut up" came the reply. It was the first time anyone heard the avatar speak. Before the words were complete, what was once the priest was now a bloody mess. However, a golden light flashed form the forehead area of Liefeng Priest. It was his Aurous Core!

"You shall perish with me!" The last bit of consciousness of Liefeng Priest screamed.

"I'll explode!"It was too late. In one quick swoop, the Avatar of Ares had grabbed it in his hand. Like a hungry predator chancing upon an egg, his gulped down the Core.

The Bastille Black Dragon could not believe his eyes. How crazy would it be to swallow an exploding Aurous Core? Was he not afraid of the explosion? The cold sweat on the dragon's forehead was his cue to run. He turned his back on Chen Gang and immediately made his escape.

"You're not the only big guy around, y'know...Grow! Grow! Grow!" mocked the Avatar of Ares as he stamped his feet. Soon, he gradually transformed into a sky-scraper-tall giant. With a foot the size of a bus, Demon Avatar stamped onto the escaping dragon.

His stomp shook the entirety of Mount Kunlun and left the Bastille Black Dragon gasping for air..

Chapter 148: Showdown rematch

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: - -

The Avatar of Ares concluded the battle in no time.

It was so fast that Chen Gang could not react to it.

The mere sight of a defeated Bastille Black Dragon made Chen Gang shudder.

Never in his wildest dreams would he have expected that Lin Feng had an avatar. He had believed that it was just a dummy after all. It was that belief that gave him the glimmer of hope for victory. No dummy would have possessed the intelligence and dexterity of the Avatar of Ares. Perhaps if it was just a dummy, the dragon would have stood a chance. Unfortunately, the avatar made quick work of his adversaries on that very mountain, and wasted no time at all.

Chen Gang exclaimed, "You won't get away with these murders! Especially from the Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Aeolus Sect!"

With that, he chanted the Dragon Morphing Mantra and was immediately lifted into the air by a silver light dragon. Once in the air, Chen Gang raced in the direction towards Mount Yujing.

Lin Feng threw out the Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm with a smirk as he raised two fingers towards Chen Gang. Almost on cue, Chen Gung spun around haphazardly.

"Soaring Dragon Path!"

The fear on Chen Gang's face was at once replaced by an unusual serenity. Being from the sacred Great Void Sect, he had a strong sense of superiority, but he was by no means a weakling. In fact, he was willing to go to far ends to achieve his goals, a practical cultivator in comparison to the rest in the world of cultivators. His initial escape was just a decoy as his true intention to kill Lin Feng finally unravelled.

The silver light dragon made an unusual turn and made a beeline for Lin Feng, charging at monstrous velocity. Lin Feng's Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm had a fixed dimension. By abruptly changing direction, Chen Gang was able to avoid flying straight into the trap, and able to make a surprise attack.

"Doomsday Dragon! Heavenly Pillar!" commanded Chen Gang. Within the silver light dragon emerged a flash of gold.

"Nine Heavens Roar! Change!" and the silver light dragon transformed into pure gold. The clouds clustered at its feet, like peasants bowing in fear to a mighty king. The killing intent of the now golden light dragon permeated the air.

Who could possibly stop it?

The dragon lowered its head and rammed towards Lin Feng in a move that crushed columns of air. Unbelievable speed. Finally, the true strength of the Great Void Sect was revealed! The power of the dragon and Chen Gang's Aurous Core combined was formidable!

"I knw it… I mean how could the disciples of the Great Void Sect be pussies?"thought Lin Feng. "So the fear, the anxiety, the escape...they were all a deception..." as he raised a finger towards the oncoming dragon. The air in front of him stirred and disappeared into a void. Dragon, cloud and all the rage and hype vanished in a blink of an eye. The great deception and revelation had turned into a practical joke. The sky cleared and everything seemed to revert to normal.

"Space...you can play with voids? Are you a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator?" blurted Chen Gang.

Lin Feng's face remained expressionless as he was lazy to even give any form of response to Chen Gang.

"Rise!" exclaimed Chen Gang.

In a swift motion, Chen Gang whipped out the Formation Breaking Drum given to him by Pang Jie. It was a Nascent Soul Stage artifact which was his very last resort. He only used it when he was certain that he was no match for Lin Feng. Now, only the Formation Breaking Drum could stand a chance in protecting his life.

The Drum sparkled and expanded, turning from the size of a fist to that of a tree. Its sound hollow and long, sending shock waves rippling through the air towards Lin Feng.

"So it was this drum that broke my Two Elements of Creation Formation? I wasn't there the last time to control it so let's have a rematch!" shouted Lin Feng over the blast of the drum.

With the slight of hand, a spark of light was emitted from Lin Feng's index. The light whizzed and shot out in all directions, revealing the a Formation technique beneath. The Formation was vast and wide, enveloping the entirety of Mount Yujing in its light.

The shock waves pounded on the Formation's light, shattering the beams at its fringe.

"My Drums can break any formation in this world. Outrightly challenging it is seeking defeat!" cried Chen Gang.

As Lin Feng broke into a grin, purple clouds gathered above the mountain and flooded into the Two Elements of Creation Formation.

"Previously, my Formation had nothing to depend on apart from its light. Now with the purple clouds, my formation's power has started to reveal the tip of its iceberg!" replied Lin Feng.

"Formation! Open! Six Life Paths! Change the heavens and earth! Rise!" Lin Feng chanted the incantation as the purple clouds filled the Formation, transforming into a vast cover.

"Bang!" the cover flipped as heaven and earth swapped positions, shattering the shock waves. The impact hit Chen Gang hard as he spat dark red blood onto the drum.

"Wait for it… The real change is coming" commented Lin Feng.

"Crack the ceilings of the Heaven!" cried Lin Feng as he held both hands in spell.

The earth and sky reverted back. Suddenly, the purple sky screamed as it cracked, revealing a hue of crimson behind. From the crack one could see meteor showers, the fires of hell, a true doomsday sight to behold. The pressure was suffocating Chen Gang. He could not believe his eyes, the skies had cracked, the very same faults appearing on his drum.

The drum squirmed and spat out light in every direction, as if foreboding its death. In an earth-shattering roar, the purple sky split in two as the drum fell to the ground in halves.

A Nascent Soul Stage magic item was actually torn into half!

Chen Gang gave a loud cry as he spitted blood out. His Aurous Core had almost splitted as well and without hesitating, he fled in the dorection of Mount Yujing.

"This formation is unstoppable, only the pioneer drum can break it" he thought. This time, Chen Gang was really running for his life. The Fire Crow Commander could bear no more. The numerous deaths, the complete defeat, the utter humiliation. It turned and immediately began flying off the edge of the mountain.

"Running away? No one's getting out today" shouted Lin Feng.

The purple clouds reappeared and exited the formation as its light retracted to become the small flicker it once was.

"Fences of the Heaven, The Heaven Arrests! Stabilize!" exclaimed Lin Feng. The air surrounding Chen Gang and the Fire Crow Demonic Commander shook and vibrated, everything blurring in sight.

Chen Gang threw out his Anti-water flag and Swelling Earth in a last ditch attempt. The flag would never decrease in size or volume, but neither would it increase. Lin Feng's power of manipulating space was unrivaled, trapping the duo in a confined boundary.

Chen Gang's bones cried out in pain. Cracks started to form and organs grinded in a mess. Chen Gang spat out blood profusely and cursed "Senior Pang will not let you go!".

From his forehead, a tiny light flickered as if giving off a signal. The light turned into a spell formation, steadily increasing in power. Lin Feng squinted his eyes and observed that every molecule of Chen Gang was vibrating as if ready to give sacrifice, or calling another being from the void.

Chapter 149: Because I will not allow

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: - -

A mini formation lit up over Chen Gang's forehead as his life force surged and burned.

Lin Feng understood that Chen Gang meant it as a sacrifice to draw out another being from a separate dimension. But now he knew that Chen Gang's body was to be used by the being as the avatar.

From inside the formation carried a calm and emotionless voice, "It has been tough on you, my junior, I'll take over from here"

Lin Feng cleared his throat, "So you're the All-Under-Heavens Strider of the Great Void Sect, Pang Jie?"

The silhouette of a man slowly emerged within the mini formation. His white robe dazzled with light, emitting a crystal clear aura, one that felt like a gust of wind, a free spirit. Yet his eyes were like those of stars, crystals that peered right into your soul.

The man nodded, "Yes, I am Pang Jie"

"If I may, I suppose that Chen Gang isn't the first to offer his body as sacrifice. Your power has come at the expense of countless disciples from the Great Void Sect," lamented Lin Feng.

Pang Jie seemed unperturbed and gently nodded.

"What a disgrace! The great All-Under-Heavens Strider using the lives of others for his own interest!" scowled Lin Feng.

Without expression, Pang Jie replied, "As a member of the Great Void Sect, our calling is one of righteous glory. The path we walk is a sacred and esoteric one. But sometimes along the path, we stumble upon a worthless animal whose sole purpose is to slander our name. As the leader of this generation of Great Void Sect, I have no choice but to exterminate you. All other disciples who live with the honourable reputation of our sect will sacrifice for this noble cause."

"So you knowingly take their lives without any remorse?" mocked Lin Feng.

"It is, after all, for a noble cause. I am the chosen one and this is my calling. For the rest it's just really unfortunate."

Lin Feng burst out on mocking laughter, "So just because the Great Void Sect is the number one Sect in the world, they will have the right to dictate everything in our world? Does this mean that anyone who disobeys or go against the Great Void Sect would be morally wrong? In my opinion, what you're saying is simply this, whoever holds power gets to do what he wants. The strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must? What rubbish!"

"You may interpret my words as you wish. My job is just to come here for you," replied Pang Jie.

"This mountain and all the treasures on it, including Longye's stone flue, are rightfully my sect's. Now return them!" scolded Pang Jie. The light surrounding him seemed to clear up as what seemed like flesh started to form on Chen Gang's body. He was becoming the avatar itself.

"How tragic it is, but you will not be able to come here" commented Lin Feng.

"Oh really?"

"Because I will not allow it," came the reply from Lin Feng.

Lin Feng raised his hand and sliced the air gently.

The Fences of the Heavens!

Pang Jie's form shook as the connection between him and Chen Gang immediately cut off. The light above Chen Gang flickered and died out. Lin Feng simply smiled, his intent clear and understood. Pang Jie's presence was slowly diminished to a pale silhouette

If Lin Feng wanted to forbid them from coming, they would not be able to come.

Pang Jie's expression was that of stone. He was from the Nascent Soul Stage and had the power to manipulate space-time, allowing his true physical form to appear. However, he had other matters at hand and was unable to be there right now.

Pang Jie's gaze met Lin Feng, "We will meet again in the near future". With that, the light above Chen Gang fell silent and disappeared.

"Perhaps, but it may not be in your favour" smiled Lin Feng.

He studied Mount Yujing and thought, "Finally, I can have my own cave to call home".

With an incantation, Lin Feng, along with Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, the mystic purple clouds and Mount Yujing became one body. The Avatar of Ares picked up the Bastille Black Dragon and flew up towards the rest. From within the tree shone a light so bright that it casted sharp shadows across miles. Its leaves rustled as the purple sky split open, revealing the real horizon behind. Mount Yujing ascended into the clouds, vanishing with the other treasures. What was left was a peaceful scenery, one where Mount Yujing had ceased to even exist.

It was only from the sight of the broken peaks of the Kunlun Mountain Range that one could tell that there was a big battle earlier.

Amidst the chaotic currents within the void dimension, the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree glistened as it radiated a glow which covered the entire Mount Yujing, protecting all residents from the injurious currents of the void dimension.

Lin Feng was satisfied. Now that the entrance to his mountain was sealed within the void, nobody would come asking for trouble. The only problem was this, if he were to reappear in the real world, the only place he could land would be above Mount Kunlun. And it was predictable.

Lin Feng thought to himself, "If I were to improve and become a Nascent Soul myself...working with the Treasure Tree, we can let this mountain appear wherever we like."

"Master!"

Xiao Yan called out as he approached ceremoniously.

"Sorry I've made you wait. It must have been painful" said Lin Feng.

Xiao Yan laughed it off, "How was it painful? It was more like good training for us."

"But it was quite a pity that we were not competent enough. We're sorry we had to get you to fight", Zhu Yi interjected.

Lin Feng smiled in return, "I hope that you all will learn from the mistakes in your battles."

Lin Feng introduced the power and miracles of the treasures he brought along. Amongst them was the power of manipulating time within the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World which was on top of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree. Inside it, time was sped up. One could train for an entire year inside the tree and only use up a day in the real world. After introducing the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World, he spoke, "Please don't waste a golden opportunity like this to maximise your training."

After hearing their master's introduction, the disciples were thrilled and went straight into the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World without any hesitation.

"Time waits for no man indeed!" Lin Feng sighed. To attain the Aurous Core Stage, he had remained inside for eight years. The system's mission had a time frame of ten years, and now, only a year or so remained.

His mission was to officially open the mountain and recruit thirty disciples with potential value over twenty-five.

Lin Feng laughed and shook his head, "Still a long way to go."

At the bottom of things, he felt that power was still the number one priority. Especially after spoiling the relationship with both the Great Void Sect and the Mount Shu Sword Sect. Lin Feng felt a strong need to level up his abilities to compensate for the reduction of potential allies.

Lin Feng picked up the manual for the Two Elements of Creation Formation. He thought to himself, "The Formation Bursting Drum is a remarkable weapon indeed. If not for the Heaven-Revolving purple clouds, victory might not have been mine." "The Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds only had the 'Heaven' element. Without the 'Earth' element, it would not be able to perform at its full force potential."

"There are six variants to the Two Elements of Creation Formation and each variation will require different conditions and ingredients."

"Now, even with the incomplete pairing of 'Heaven' and 'Earth', the formation had already possessed so much power. I can't imagine what it would be like to get all six conditions right and the addition of a magic treasure which can support the entire formation."

"The 'Heaven' in the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds can be paired with the 'Earth' element in the Central Wutu Divine Light to complete the Heaven and Earth pairing. But the amount of Central Wutu Divine Light which the Heaven and Earth Mirror was too little when compared to the volume of the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds..."

A moment of eureka saw Lin Feng drawing out the Anti-water Flag. The light from the mirror reflected off the surface of the flag, instantly radiating yellow light the colour of the soil. Lin Feng let out a satisfied laughter. The power from this combination was even stronger than that of Gaia Jade. But still, it was too little when compared to the hundred thousand acres worth of Heaven-Revolving Purple Cloud.

Lin Feng suddenly recalled that Chen Gang had the power of the Swelling Earth, and immediately brought him up for questioning on where to find Swelling Earth. Chen Gang, still in a daze from a ruined sacrifice, did not reply.

"As a member of the Great Void Sect, surely you would have heard of the Unholy Marionette." said Lin Feng with a sinister voice.

"How dare you demon!" Chen Gang's expression went from blank to fear to fiery. "You dare resort to such underhanded means?"

"How is this underhanded? This is nothing compared to what Pang Jie was doing" replied Lin Feng.

"You don't understand. Senior Pang has his own burdens. He will come and avenge me."

"He had better not show up. What will the world think if I were to reveal the underhanded means he used to take the lives of his comrades? Maybe they will understand his burdens." scowled Lin Feng.

"Nobody will believe you!" scolded Chen Gang.

"They will, eventually, for I have a witness. Who else can be a better alibi than the one who almost suffered the same fate, but yet lived to tell the tale?" Lin Feng replied, his smile widening as he spoke.

"I will never..." replied Chen Gang.

"You will too, eventually. But for now, you should tell me how to control the Swelling Earth". Lin Feng engulfed Chen Gang in the River Styx Primordial Waters, interrupting him before he could finish.

Chapter 150: Where there are people there will be fights

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: - -

Chen Gang's physical body had been killed, but his spirit was trapped within the River Styx Primordial Water, and cultivated into a puppet.

Under the control of the Art of the Unholy Marionette, Chen Gang could not hide the truth. Every word he spoke had to be nothing and nothing but the truth.

"Along the Mount Changchun?" Lin Feng knew the place. It was in the depth of the Hengduan Mountains

According to Chen Gang, that area contained a portal to the demon world. Demons congregated and gathered at that area to train. The only credible human presence was the Hundred Herbs Sect.

The Hundred Herbs Sect mainly specialized in making elixirs and pills. They were not powerful in the art of combat but because of their need for medicinal herbs, they had no choice but to stay in that area.

Lin Feng looked at Chen Gang and mocked, "I don't believe that all the disciples from the Great Void Sect are as retarded as you. I don't think they would allow Pang Jie to plant such a curse onto them"

Chen Gang refused to answer, but was compelled to do so. "Many people don't understand his pain and ambitions. They are all too weak and always bow down to others despite the Great Void Sect being the number one sect in the world"

"Go on" said Lin Feng as his eyes flickered with interest.

Under the control of the Unholy Marionette, Chen Gang revealed everything he knew about the Great Void Sect.

Lin Feng let out a long sigh, "Where there are people there will be fights".

The Great Void Sect was renowned and revered. Yet it was strife with internal conflict. Its leader only managed administrative business while key strategic decisions were based on discussions between a group of elders. However, within the group itself were two separate camps. Because of this, many decisions were caught in a deadlock.

Even with great power, the disciples of the sect seldom roamed the earth. Only a small group of them actually roamed around. Most of the time, their powers were used to keep the demons in check. The war between mankind and demons had seen vast amounts of casualties. The previous great war saw a tragic victory for mankind. But after thousands of years, the demons had regained their footholds.

The mission of the Great Void Sect was simple: to unite mankind against the demons. In order to build reserves for the impossibly big battle between humans and demons, the Great Void Sect was not supposed to expand and they had to do their best to resolve internal conflicts within mankind so as to reduce wastage of precious resources.

However, as time progressed, more and more disciples had their own agenda. With their given power, they sought to rule over mankind. This faction called themselves the Advancement Party, and its leader was none other than Pang Jie.

The other halve stuck to their values and sought to unite mankind, they called themselves the Conservative Party. To them, the greatest danger was demons winning the war and ruling over mankind. The previous All-Under-Heavens Strider was Yan Mingyue, which was the leader of the new generation within the Conservative Party.

The image of a girl in green robe flashed through Lin Feng's mind.

His stone expression gradually transformed into a smile. "Of course, the toughest fortresses are always destroyed from within".

"But it's good because now that they are busy fighting within themselves, I will have time to grow." Following which, he looked at Chen Gang, "Besides, I still have one more card to play."

After settling Chen Gang, Lin Feng headed to find his disciples. He went into the Heavenly Ray Cosmic World on top of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and saw them squatting around a commotion. Upon landing, he realised that they were crowding around a fat baby who was dirt-yellow in color..

The group was oblivious to Lin Feng and continued staring at the girl who was crying uncontrollably. They could only guess that she was hungry. Finally, they caught sight of Lin Feng.

"What's going on? Who is she and why can't she see us?" the disciples inquired.

Xiao Yan added in, "She eats whatever we throw to them, yet spit them out immediately"

Lin Feng took a look at Xiao Budian and asked, "What happened to your usual chatty self?"

Xiao Bu Dian replied, "I really have no idea, but I think..."

"But what?" Xiao Yan impatiently asked.

"But I think that she's the closest to you," answered Xiao Budian. "She responds only to your actions"

The group pondered for a while and then nodded in unison. Lin Feng scanned the group for anomalies, especially with Xiao Yan. He eyed the items on the floor: medicine, food...a short sword! Who in the world would feed the girl a sword? Lin Feng immediately glared at Xiao Budian. Only Xiao Budian would do something like this.

Xiao Budian gulped and looked away in guilt.

Suddenly, something caught Lin Feng's eye.

There was only one set of teeth marks on all the items. It meant that the girl spat them out immediately.

However, there was this one item which the fat baby had bitten into pieces before spitting out..

"The Flaming Sun Pill? It is rich with fire essence and enhances fire power!" commented Lin Feng after a few light sniffs. It seemed like the girl was attracted to fire. Xiao Yan once trained with fire, but now all four disciples practiced the same set of skills, so in theory they were all the same.

"Chewing the pill without swallowing? Is it because the fire essence is not concentrated enought?" Lin Feng thought for awhile, "unless...she can sense Xiao Yan's Nefarious Almighty Sword?"

The sword contained the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire, one of the seven legendary fires. At that thought, Lin Feng took out a spark which contained the Grand Sun Primordial Fire. The incessant cries ceased almost instantly as the girl turned towards Lin Feng with begging eyes.

"I've got it," concluded Lin Feng as he kept the spark. And immediately the cries resumed.

"Xiao Budian is right, she is drawn to Xiao Yan. Draw out the Nefarious Almighty Sword and you'll see" added Lin Feng.

At the sight of the sword, the girl's cries turned to joyous laughter as she leapt towards the sword. Xiao Yan pushed her away, fearing for her safety. The cries came back once more.

"Quite the peculiar spirit. Not much intelligence, just a penchant for food and fire," noted Lin Feng.

"My sword is such a potent weapon, will she be able to chew it too?" Xiao Yan inquired.

He channeled his energy into the sword, lighting up a fire that erupted from the black metal blade. The little girl cried in joy and lept towards the flame, swallowing it in a single mouth.

Chapter 151: Blessed Spiritual Land

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: - -

The dirt-yellow fat baby screamed in joy, not showing any fear towards the domineering power of the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire as she opened its mouth to swallow the blue-purple flame.

Immediately, a blue-purplish tint formed on her face as she giggled heartily. She was obviously savoring the flavor of the flame and had definitely enjoyed the taste of it.

However, in the next moment, her expression turned into a bitter one as she grabbed onto her tummy and rolled about on the ground.

"Seems like it might be tasty but bad for digestion." Lin Feng and his disciples all found it funny but thought that it served her right for being greedy.

The features on the face of the dirt-yellow baby had became contorted in pain, but apparently, she was far from dying.

After a good long moment, the expression of pain on her face started to fade as she let out a long sigh of relief. Suddenly, she let out a loud exclaim before flying out of the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World.

Lin Feng was caught off guard but immediately chased after the baby. He saw the fat baby jumped off the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and landed on the peak of Mount Yujing.

The fat little baby extended her limbs and formed a shape which was similar to the chinese character Da (大）before landing heavily on the peak.

In an instant after landing heavily, the baby turned into a sea of yellow dust which was nicely evened out across the hundred acres worth of land before seeping into the rocks and boulders of Mount Yujing.

And instantaneously, much to everyone's surprise, the boulders and rocks transformed into a hundred acres worth of arable and fertile land.

The land was entirely different from any conventional idea of an arable land as it was enshrouded in an aura filled with spiritual vitality and life.

It was so good for cultivating crops and herbs that even a person would receive much benefits from cultivating on the fields.

Lin Feng examined the land for a short moment before retrieving some herbs which had not been used to make elixirs. Following which, he tossed the herbs lightly onto the field.

These herbs had already been removed from their roots and dried to a nice yellow color. They had long lost any hint of life within them and what remained inside were some of the natural spiritual energy. They were essentially dead.

However, the moment they landed onto the soil which the fat baby had transformed into, the dried herbs behaved as though they had been given new lives. Under the nurturing and care of the aura from the fields, new roots and branches stemmed out from the herbs. The herbs had been revived!

When these herbs were harvested, they were merely herbs which were roughly ten years old.

Now that they had been planted in this fertile field, they had started to expand and grow in an astonishing speed.

The ginseng did not take much time to develop the thickness of a human arm size and soon became the size of an infant.

Slowly, the different stalks of ginseng let out little sounds of cracking as though they were undergoing some transformation.

A plume of white mist was released from the ginseng and soon concentrated to form a silhouette of sorts of a white infant. The silhouette wrapped itself around the physical ginseng and ran around gleefully, emitting a strong and concentrated herbal scent.

At the sight of this, all of their jaws dropped.

Zhu Yi reacted first as he gasped, "It has gained sagacity!"

It was not only the ginseng but the polygonum, lingzhi etc. They all had a rich and strong herbal scent as many silhouettes were seen rushing and playing around.

All the herbs which were thrown into the field had all gained sagacity.

After gaining sagacity, the herbs would concentrate their herbal aura to take on an illusory form. The more aged a herb was, the more solid the aura would be, resulting in stronger and better medicinal properties.

Sagacious herbs and plants were increasingly scarce and had exorbitant price tags. Because of the possible huge profits, they had been over-harvested in recent times.

The Hengyue Faction, which Wang Lin was from, was led by a Nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster. Though it was not really a huge sect, it was still decently reputable. The Hengyue Faction did possess a few sagacious herbs but they were definitely not as much as the ones which they now possessed.

Usually, most herbs would take a few hundred years, and for some a few thousand years before they could accumulate sufficient herbal aura to attain sagacity.

But what was staring at them in their faces were a few ten year old plants and herbs which were dried and dead, that had attained sagacity in a few moments. The speed was totally insane and unimaginable.

Lin Feng's heart was tied to Mount Yujing and because the fat baby was now part of Mount Yujing, he could quickly establish a connection and understand the nature of the baby.

The Blessed Spiritual Land, had flames and fires as its diet and possessed the ability to convert flames into its unique spiritual energy. It could nurture the development of plants and herbs and hasten the rate of their growth.

"The Five Elements restraint and reinforce each other mutually. Amongst them, the Fire reinforces the Earth. No wonder…" Lin Feng nodded his head, "I believe that with a stronger flame or fire, the spiritual energy of the Blessed Spiritual Land would even be stronger. The Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire belongs to one of the six primordial fires and would be the best nutrition for the land."

Just then, Xiao Yan and three others had just regained their composure as they looked at each other in the eye, unable to contain their excitement. "Isn't this an extremely high quality piece of land? With such a fertile land, who can outgrow our herbs?"

Lin Feng was equally happy as he laughed, "Now you know what the baby is all about."

The four of them laughed and nodded their heads. Xiao Budian patted on Xiao Yan;s shoulders, "Big Senior, we will need to rely on you to feed the little fellow from now on."

At this moment, the land on top of the mountain transformed back into the sea of yellow dust and gathered to become the familiar fat baby figure again. It was rejoicing after hearing how Xiao Yan would feed it from now on as it grabbed onto Xiao Yan's arms and kept shaking them.

Xiao Yan was a little bit confused and helpless as he looked towards Lin Feng, "Master?"

Lin Feng controlled his laughter and continued with a serious look, "The land is called the Blessed Spiritual Land. It feeds on fire and flame and has the ability to hasten the development and growth of all plants and herbs. It can be considered as the cream of the crop among arable and fertile lands. Its human figure is usually termed as Lucky."

"And as what Tianhao had said, he would be under your charge from now on."

"Lucky would need to expend the energy he derived from the fire after every consumption. Hence, whenever there isn't a need to grow herbs, there is no need to feed him with the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire." Lin Feng also reminded, "If you were to give him the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire, do take note of the volume because there is a limit to which he can take it before it harms him."

Xiao Yan frowned upon the responsibility as he stared at Lucky before nodding his head reluctantly.

Xiao Budian pondered for a while before asking, "Master, if Lucky is so great, will the two other weirdoes in the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World also be an apparition made from the concentration of some essence?"

Lin Feng mulled over his question and thought that it was quite possible. But because there was little that he knew about them, he chose to wait and see before taking any action.

Thus he replied seriously, "I have my own plans when it comes to how they should be handled. Don't disturb them without my permission. Nothing good will come out of it. Am I clear?"

Seeing how serious their Master was, the four of them nodded their head in obedience.

After returning to the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World, Lin Feng looked at Lucky who was cuddling up to Xiao Yan and thought, "It would be very unjustified if I were to let such a good field remain unused. It seems I should harvest some shrubs and herbs along the way on my journey to find the Swelling Earth."

With the help of the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World and an enormous volume of high grade herbs, Lin Feng believed that his disciples would be able to train with great efficiency and speed.

Lin Feng felt at ease when he saw how his dream of his disciples becoming great cultivators realizing bit by bit.

"The speed of my own cultivation and training would also be able to be increased." Lin Feng muttered as he continued to mull over these ideas.

As he reflected upon his own cultivation, he could sense that in his sea of consciousness, a aurous core was gleaming with a faint purple glow. Seeing the existence of a purple glow, Lin Feng was elated.

Similar to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Aurous Core Stage was also divided into three levels. Upon the the attainment of the Aurous Core Stage, the mana will concentrate to form a aurous core which was the initial level of the Aurous Core Stage.

Upon surviving the tribulations of the Yin Fire, all the impurities within the aurous core would have been removed and one would be able to attain the middle level of the Aurous Core Stage.

Upon surviving the tribulations of the Yin Wind, all unevenness on the elixir would have been ground smooth, and one would be able to attain the final level of the Aurous Core Stage.

Upon surviving the tribulations of the Nine Heavenly Lightnings, one would then finally be able to bear a nascent soul, attaining the Nascent Soul Stage.

Amongst all cultivators who had attained the initial level of the Aurous Core Stage, there were many different grades of the aurous core. The different classifications were the Purple Pill, Red Pill, Green Pill and Yellow Pill. Amongst them, the Purple Pill was of the highest grade while the Yellow Pill was the lowest.

Any cultivator who had successfully generated the Purple Pill would not only be blessed with mana and abhijna which were far stronger than the cultivators who possessed the Red Pill or the Green Pill but also stood a far higher chance of surviving the tribulations of the Nine Heavenly Lightnings. This meant that they had a higher chance of attaining the Nascent Soul Stage.

If one were to generate the Red Pill, unless one was a fortuitous man who had immense luck or possessed support from cultivators who had immense abhijna, one would more or less only be able to survive the tribulations of the Yin Wind. The result was that he would only be able to stay at the final level of the Aurous Core Stage for the rest of his life.

Cultivators who possessed the Green Pill could at most survive the tribulations of the Yin Fire and would not be able to go through the tribulations of the Yin Wind. Hence, it would be near impossible for them to go beyond the middle level of the Aurous Core Stage without any special help.

As for the Yellow Pill cultivators, they were essentially doomed to loiter around at the initial level of the Aurous Core Stage.

The reason why it was commonly stated that the Foundation Establishment was the most critical stage of cultivation was clearly demonstrated here. There were a total of nine different grades for both the spiritual altar and the crucible.

A crucible of the lowest grade (Grade 9) would have near zero chance if even cultivating the aurous core needed to attain the Aurous Core Stage. A Grade 7 or 8 crucible would have a low probability and the pill would be a Yellow Pill.

A Grade 5 or 6 crucible could at best cultivate a Green Pill, which was the third best aurous core.

A Grade 3 or 4 crucible would give a Red Pill and lastly, only a Grade 1 or 2 crucible could stand a chance to cultivate a Purple Pill.

Lin Feng's supreme crucible, which was one level higher than the Grade 1 Crucible, had managed to cultivate the best aurous core which was the Purple Pill. It could be recognised by the purple glow which came from within the aurous core.

And contrary to the common Purple Pill, Lin Feng's elixir had an additional warm colour which resembled that of an extremely high quality jadestone.

In fact, it would be more apt to label it as a Purple Jade Pill. With its quality, it would definitely rank above the Purple Pill.

Lin Feng thought, "The supreme crucible is really incredible. However, the Treasure Tree and the Purple Cloud Mist definitely played a part too.

As he continued to ponder, Lin Feng strolled to the side of Xiao Budian and the rest.

Xiao Yan was frowning as Lucky continued to bug him for the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire.

Xiao Budian and the two others were just laughing heartily at the side without a tinge of remorse for not helping.

Lin Feng jumped gently upwards and floated onto a branch from a Treasure Tree, before sitting cross-legged on it. He smiled, "It suddenly occurred to me that I haven't shared with you all where I came from and what my background is. Isn't it?"

Xiao Budian and other two kept their smile and lifted their heads to look at Lin Feng.

XIao Yan also placed Lucky aside forcefully as he looked at Lin Feng with much curiosity.

They were all very curious about the mysterious background of their Master.

Lin Feng let out a little cough before he began on his first line. But his first line was sufficiently shocking to silence all of them.

"Actually, the Master in front of you all is merely a split of myself."

Xiao Yan and the rest looked at each other in disbelief and repeated in unison, "A split?"

Lin Feng smiled and continued, "You Master came from a place beyond this universe. I have splits of myself running about in the thousand over different dimension to spread the essence and tradition of Taoism."

"Now that we have Mount Yujing as our foundation and base, and I have all of you as my excellent disciples, it is almost time for us to officialize our Sect. Today, we shall decide a name for our Sect."

Chapter 152: The Name of the Sect

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: - -

"To finalise the name of our Sect?" Xiao Yan and the rest stared at each other in excitement.

Xiao Budian smiled and continued, "Master, are the four of us your first disciples in this world?"

Lin Feng laughed and replied, "That is right. But it seems that I remember someone saying how he wanted to be the Little Junior for everyone?"

Xiao Budian giggled in embarrassment after hearing that.

Xiao Yan placed both his hands behind his head as he muttered, "First Disciple? That's not too shabby."

From their character and gifts, they were all supposed to be haughty people who would not accept being subjugated by rules or anyone.

Lin Feng took in them when they were still insignificant and taught them the way of Taoism with utmost generosity. He also showered them with care and concern, setting the foundation for a deep and longlasting relationship between Master and Disciples. Hence, they were all very willing to be under Lin Feng's tutelage and guidance.

But if there were other elders in their sect which they had to greet politely and listen to their preachings, they would not have been able to take it.

Wang Lin had the experience of being a disciple and the lowest level in the hierarchy back at the Hengyue Faction. Although the time spent back there was not long, the difference between the freedom which he had under Lin Feng was like heaven and earth when compared to the time back in Hengyue Faction. As he continued to become stronger, he was no longer willing to go through those days again.

Xiao Budian's bright eyes sparkled as he asked, "Master, does that mean if we were to take in more cultivators in the future, they would be our disciples?"

Lin Feng gave a little smack onto his little head and laughed, "Wait till you become a Master before you think about taking in disciples. If not you will only teach them the wrong things and spoil our reputation."

He looked at all of them and smiled, "In future, if I chance upon cultivators who are as talented and gifted as the few of you, I might still consider to take them in as my personal disciples. For the majority of the rest, they would eventually become all your disciples, the Third Generation disciples."

"All the way till the Fourth, the Fifth and so on."

As he mentioned these, Lin Feng glanced at Zhu Yi for awhile longer as compared to the rest.

Amongst the four of them, the one who was most suitable to become a teacher was none other than Zhu Yi.

Zhu Yi also noticed the look on Lin Feng's face and immediately became impassioned.

He had read many famous literature and always had the heart to educate the masses and lead them through education and guidance. Now that he was studying the Art of Taoism, he definitely wished to show them the way towards enlightenment.

Zhu Yi composed himself and nodded his head gently while remaining silent. He felt like he had just made a promise which was of utmost importance and he was not ready to break that confidence Lin Feng had in him.

At this moment, Wang Lin asked, "Master, so what should we call our Sect?"

Lin Feng gave a gentle cough and replied with utmost solemnity.

"Heaven's Destiny Sect!"

"Those who enter the Sect shall be blessed by the Heavens with a great destiny!"

"Only the chosen ones would be able to join the Sect and the Grandmaster, I shall guarantee a smooth journey to fulfill the destiny of attaining enlightenment."

The second half of his long statement was not actually spoken because he had realised that his disciples were already lost before he had reached that line.

The four of them shared a similar expression.

Which was just lost. Like utterly lost.

None of them could comprehend or even understand the deep philosophical meaning of the name of the Sect.

Lin Feng looked at the expression on their faces and hid his irritated look.

The playful side of him had awakened back when he was trying to create some spells, and hence, naturally he thought of such a name.

But because it was only something which he had went through, none of them could understand the deeper meaning beyond the surface and hence, it was not really funny.

"It was as though I were wearing an expensive robe in the cover of the night. Such splendid humor yet no one would ever be able to understand. A bunch of humorless kids who cannot appreciate my efforts to get to you all."

Lin Feng cursed to himself, "If you all can't understand this, I can't hope for you all to understand Rashomon, Seven Pirates Gang from the One Piece, Akatsuki, Las Noches nor the Decepticons."

Xiao Yan and the rest had just managed to gather back their focus as they looked at Lin Feng with much hesitation, "Master, what's with the name Heaven's Destiny Sect? Is there some deeper meaning behind the choice of the name?"

Lin Feng thought, "Of course there is! But I shan't waste my time explaining to them."

He remained clam as he shook his hand, "Forget about it. That was the name of my Sect in another dimension. I shan't use it for this world."

Lin Feng paused as he continued slowly, "From today onwards, our Sect's name shall be the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

"A sect mysterious and abstruse beyond imagination. A door to the wonders of the world. A sect above the celestial powers of the Heavens. An estate that will last longer than time."

Lin Feng looked at his disciples with much solemnity before continuing, "There is one thing that all of you must remember by heart. Our Sect's way of Taoism requires one to feel and sense the Tao of both the Heaven and the Earth. But to never become one with them but to become Heaven and Earth ourselves. To be independent from them."

That was the additional insight he acquired from the Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams after attaining the Aurous Core Stage.

Xiao Yan and the rest donned a serious expression as they bowed towards Lin Feng, "We have learnt much from Master's words."

Following which, the four disciples reaffirmed each other's placing in the Sect. Xiao Yan would remain as the Big Senior amongst the four and naturally became the first disciple of the leader. His role was no joke as it meant that whenever Lin Feng was not around, all Third and Fourth Generation disciples would be under his charge.

Zhu Yi was the Second Disciple, while Wang Lin became the Third Disciple. Xiao Budian was naturally the little disciple.

"After this, I want all of you to focus on your training." Lin Feng pinched his fingers and gauged the time before continuing, "In roughly a year or so, our Sect will officially be opened and we will start accepting disciples."

"By then, all of you will be ready to become masters of your own right. The new entrants will be under your tutelage. Do not make a fool of yourselves."

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Budian with a playful look and laughed, "We are all okay with it. It's just that if Xiao Budian continue to stay within the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World, he would always remain that tiny."

But Xiao Budian was not in the least affected as he giggled, "That is perfectly fine. After you all have accepted your disciples, I would not need to waste time and effort in teaching them. I would be able to get their respect for free."

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and Wang Lin were poked by his comments as they scolded him half-heartedly, "You lazy brat!"

But jokes aside, including Xiao Budian, all four of them were very serious about their training as they went on to make hay while the sun shine, especially Wang Lin who was exceptionally hardworking.

Lin Feng looked at the four of them with much pride and nodded his head. Following which he left the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World and landed on Mount Yujing.

As he gazed at the chaotic currents within the void, Lin Feng let out a long sigh.

"One more year before my sect, The Celestial Sect of Wonders, will open up to the world."

Currently, Mount Yujing was hidden within the void and no one could find them for trouble even if they wanted. But once the Sect is officially opened, Mount Yujing would have to return to the normal world to receive all eligible disciples.

How could a great sect like this hide itself within a void?

When the day arrived, Pang Jie, Mount Shu Sword Sect, the Yu family and Marquis of Xuanji would all be able to come looking for their revenge.

To be ready to fend off their advances, Lin Feng had to make some preparations.

There was a use for everything in the world which the Heaven had bore. Lin Feng experimented with the Blessed Spiritual Land but found that it was unable to activate the Central Wutu Divine Light. Hence, the journey to Mount Changchun to find the Swelling Earth remained a necessity.

"Oh ya! I almost forgot that I have a chance for another lottery." Lin Feng suddenly recalled that he had a chance for lottery after completing the Gaia Jade mission.

Before he opened his sect, Lin Feng believed that he had to get the infrastructure of the mountain right first. As of now, the mountain was bare and he only had the token for the construction of a palace. He decided not to use it first and to wait for the accumulation for a few more similar tokens. He believed that it would create a more shocking effect if they were all used together. It would also be less suspicious in that way.

As he entered the Lottery System, Lin Feng took a look at the Dice System to see if there were any good prizes.

The only item which was slightly more attractive was the Five-Claws Golden Lion. It could swallow and release thunder and fire while the five claws below its body could ride on clouds and mists.

It was a good option for transportation.

But Lin Feng thought about it and the moment which he realized that he was going to get a ride that was even cooler, he ignored the Five-Claws Golden Lion immediately and exited the Dice System. Next, he entered to browse through the Roulette System.

"Library Setup Token?" Lin Feng's eyes brightened at the sight of the token as a library was an essential setup for a Sect.

Lin Feng took a deep breath but he did not immediately began with the lottery. Instead, he stared at the eighteen different boxes.

There was once when he tried to figure out the algorithm of the Roulette System but he failed.

During that time, he hypothesized that the the roulette would stop spinning after three and a half rounds but what happened was that the roulette went on for an addition of four boxes after turning for three rounds and a half.

Lin Feng calculated before choosing a number. Following which, he issued a command to the Roulette System, "Spin!"

The roulette began to spin profusely as Lin Feng concentrated his eyes on the roulette. He wanted to see if his new hypothesis was right.

The roulette soon passed three rounds as it continued to go on for another half a round, which was nine boxes. Its speed was slowing down and it could stop at any time.

Another three boxes and it would be the token for the Library Setup.

But this time round, the roulette stopped two boxes after the halfway mark.

Lin Feng sighed but he was not too disappointed. He had roughly gotten the pattern of the Roulette System.

It appeared that the roulette would stop somewhere between three and a half rounds to three rounds and thirteen boxes.

Although lottery remained as something which was primarily based on probability and chance, the odds of winning had now been increased to a large extent.

When he were to spin the roulette again the next time, Lin Feng would be able to focus on the item which he was interested in and the odds would be instead of the original 1/18. That itself was a remarkable leap in the increase in chances.

Because of his lifted spirits, he went over to take a look at his prize with a light hearted mood.

What lied in front of Lin Feng was a fruit which shared both red and blue color. Its upper part was a fiery red color while the bottom half was an icy blue color.

The Fruit of Fire and Ice could be found growing on the Fire Affinity Wood in places of extreme heat. Contrary to intuition, the fruit was naturally extremely cold and thus, because of its environment, it possessed characteristics of both cold and heat in its extremities. When placed in environment of extreme cold or heat, it would become hotter or colder respectively.

As he grabbed onto the fruit, the red upper portion was so hot that it was on the point of scalding his hand while the blue lower portion sent chills down his arms.

"This is indeed a strange little fruit… I wonder what can it do?" After examining the fruit for a little bit longer, Lin Feng kept it into his pouch, while making a mental note to keep it away from the Grand Sun Primordial Fire to prevent any unwanted reactions.

After finishing his preparations, Lin Feng began to make his move for Mount Changchun.

Chapter 153: A Grand Entrance for Somebody!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: - -

Lin Feng manoeuvred the Black Cloud Flag as he sailed through the skies.

As the dark glow spun about the Black Cloud Flag, it displayed a superior aura.

Within the dark glow, one could notice the trembling of the space and void which was a much stronger display of power.

Lin Feng had not only obtained a small amount of Swelling Earth from Chen Gang's Anti-Water Flag as well as a tiny bottle of One Heavenly Primordial Water.

Using that little bit of One Heavenly Primordial Water, Lin Feng had successfully washed the Black Cloud Flag which had been polluted by the Unholy Blood River.

Because of its previous polluted state, the Black Cloud Flag had not been able to exercise most of its capabilities though it could still be used for flight and short-range teleportation, as well as the forming of a tiny vacuum space within its interior. However, it was always unable to be used for combat purposes.

Now that the Black Cloud Flag had recovered the original power which it possessed as an Aurous Core Stage magic item, the dark glow about it possessed both offensive and defensive capabilities. It could very well be considered the cream of the crop amongst all Aurous Core Stage magic items.

However, with Lin Feng's current strength, if he were to really go into combat with others, there would not be much of a purpose to use the Black Cloud Flag.

But with the purification by the One Heavenly Primordial Water, it had become more sagacious and in the event if Lin Feng attained the Nascent Soul Stage, with renewed refining and purification, the Black Cloud Flag still had a chance of becoming a Nascent Soul Stage magic item.

The one who was maneuvering the Black Cloud Flag right now was not the actual Lin Feng but the Avatar of Ares because his actual self was still cultivating and training on Mount Yujing.

Since he had managed to develop the Avatar of Ares, it was as though Lin Feng had another body.

Upon attaining the Aurous Core Stage, Lin Feng's soul was sufficiently strong to control two physical bodies and to co-share both the consciousness and memories.

The avatar had swapped the suit of armor for a purple robe. Other than being significantly larger, the avatar was no different from the original body.

Lin Feng smiled and thought, "This body not only has greater strength and it is also very useful. However its soul is not as agile and sagacious as the original body's. The casting of spells is also not as convenient."

"But the brute strength that it possesses is more than enough to compensate for the disadvantage in spell casting."

As Lin Feng guided the Black Cloud Flag, he pondered, "Since understanding the Grand Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams, I have vaguely grasped certain concepts about the Agile Flesh Theurgy and some combat techniques. But they were never translated into something concrete."

Now that I have an avatar which has great strength, let's try to create a new combat technique with these concepts."

As he flew on the Black Cloud Flag, Lin Feng soon entered the perimeters of the Hengduan Mountains.

Although the mountains stacked upon one another, it was different from the mountains back in the Kunlun Mountains which were tall and majestic. The Hengduan Mountains had steep and dangerous peaks instead.

There were many broken cliffs and precipices, displaying the wondrous works from Mother Nature.

Lin Feng's objective was Mount Changchun which was situated in the South of the Hengduan Mountains. In this region, the strongest sect was the Great Barren Sword Sect, which was a member of the the Nine Heavenly Sword Alliance.

There were countless treasures and rare items in the Hengduan Mountains and the Great Barren Sword Sect which guarded the mountains also possessed many strange and powerful magic items and spells, renowned throughout the world.

The Great Barren Sword Sect was not an unreasonable Sect because they were generally fine with other cultivators coming into the Southern regions of the Hengduan Mountains to hunt for treasures and herbs. There were only a few places which they restricted cultivators from trespassing,

Hence, there were usually many cultivators who entered the Hengduan Mountains to look for treasures and herbs that they sought after.

Along the way, Lin Feng had already seen many groups of cultivators navigating their way about the mountains.

Other than the rare treasures, the Hengduan Mountains also housed many dangers. Other than the countless demons and fearsome monsters, the mountains also had many unexplained disasters.

However, for most of the human cultivators, the most dangerous threat still came from their own species.

In these mountains, human cultivators were much more dangerous than the demons.

As Lin Feng stared at the murder happening in front of his eyes, he shook his head at the sight of greed doing its work.

There were five cultivators surrounding six cultivators.

More accurately, there were four of them fighting against the six while the other cultivator merely watched from the side.

However, the bystander was exerting a far stronger pressure on the six than the four of them.

That was because the black-robed cultivator's demonstrated his Aurous Core Stage training and his power was like a mountain above the heads of the six cultivators.

Among the six cultivators, there were three who were at the Foundation Establishment Stage and another three at the Qi Training Stage.

Their four opponents were all robed in grey and were all at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The six of them were barely putting up a bitter fight under the leadership of an aged cultivator robed in white. The three young cultivators at the Qi Training Stage had escaped from the jaws of serious danger a few times all thanks to the protection from the aged Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

Amongst them, there was a young lady dressed in yellow, which had a very pretty look. From her face, one could identify both feminine characteristics and the look of a heroine. She was gasping quickly, "Master and Uncle, run while you all can! Don't be burdened by us."

The white-robed cultivator smiled miserably, "My foolish little disciple, even if we wanted to go now, it would have been impossible."

The black-robed cultivator which was bystanding gave off an eerie laughter, "My little beauty, it seems like only your Master knows what is going on here. Haven't you understand how bad a situation you guys are in right now?"

"Return with me obediently and I promise I won't ill-treat you. If you were to sleep and cultivate with me, I guarantee that you will be in the Foundation Establishment Stage in no time. In fact, there would also be hope of attaining the Aurous Core Stage."

The face of the girl dressed in yellow darkened as she replied, "Taoist Tiemu, you have done so many evil deeds! How many girls have you corrupted with your evil spells? If if I must die, I will not succumb to a despicable person like you."

Taoist Tiemu was not at the least bothered by her words as he laughed, "I'm afraid the ball is not in your court."

Lin Feng was looking at the scene with much interest from above the clouds, "Isn't it always at this moment when a young hero appears and destroys the antagonist with a single slap? Afterwards the young lady will accept a marriage proposal from the hero?"

While Lin Feng was indulging in his own little thoughts, a condescending laughter could be heard from afar.

"I have long heard about the despicable and polluted spells of Taoist Tiemu. About how you use their bodies as your cauldrons and how you have stained your hands with much blood."

"Today, now that we have met, I do see much reason for me to take your life."

The laughter might be soft but it was sufficient for everyone to hear.

Anger flashed across the face of Taoist Tiemu as he gazed at a far, focusing on the figure of a young man robed in black.

When the others shifted their gaze onto the black-robed man, they could not resist cheering in joy.

He was tall and charming ashe stood there in his black robe. His long snow-white hair laid nicely on his back as his eyes radiated the calmness in him.

Everyone was bought over by the charismatic look he had and had forgotten about the fight.

"This entrance…" Lin Feng stared at the youth. "That's too cliche… This can't be right, such an entrance would disrupt the tempo?"

His previous thought about a hero saving the damsel in distress was only a joke. Who knew that someone like that would really appear?

Taoist Tiemu scanned the black-robe youth before laughing.

"Foolish lad! You're only at the final level of the Foundation Establishment Stage! Yet you want to come and look for death… Let me fulfill your wish then!"

After hearing this, the white-robed aged cultivator lost quite a bit of his confidence as he did not believe that the black-robed youth could defeat Taoist Tiemu who was at the Aurous Core Stage.

Taoist Tiemu gave off another eerie laughter before commanding two of his four cultivators to take him down.

The two cultivators acknowledged before pouncing towards the black-robed teen.

Xiang Lanying, the girl dressed in yellow shrieked, "Watch out!"

Her companions were also equally anxious for him. Some of them were about to assist him while some of them weighed the option of fleeing. But Taoist Tiemu kept his eyes on them and released a cloud of black mist which entrapped the six of them within it.

In the meantime, his two disciples had reached the front of the youth robed in black. The two disciples were also at the final level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. That was why XIang Lanying did not believe that the black-robed youth would stand a chance.

Xiang Lanying closed her eyes as she could not bear the sight of the destruction and humiliation of such a charming and charismatic lad.

Lin Feng who was watching from afar also could not bear to continue watching this. But he was not sympathising with the black-robed youth.

How could a person with such a look and such an entrance fail?

Indeed, facing the two aggressive cultivators, the black-robed youth did not even bother looking at them as he maintained his gaze on Taoist Tiemu. He spoke faintly, "I do not like people who insult the black color."

As he spoke, the youth plunged his fist forward with his fist bathed in an azure blaze of lightning, as though Lucifer had descended.

One fist, it took only a single punch, to knock the two cultivators back with a speed that outmatched the speed which they were coming towards him.

Everyone's jaw dropped as Taoist Tiemu exclaimed, "Who are you?"

The black-robed youth remained silent but the sea of clouds which was in the sky behind him opened up.

"Boom!"

Amidst the thunderous sound of the lightning and thunder above, four gigantic warhorses appeared with their bodies bathed in a purple glow as they trampled on the the clouds of thunder. The horses were pulling an a green chariot which was like a knoll. This entity ripped apart the sea of clouds and appeared in front of everyone.

The black-robed youth jumped and flipped himself onto the Azure Thunder Chariot. The gigantic Thunder Draco Horses and the Azure Thunder Chariot gave him an unprecedented heroic look.

Regardless of whether it was Taoist Tiemu or the white-robed aged cultivator, they all felt like a wolf which had just met the lion king in the jungle.

The youth looked down towards Taoist Tiemu while he stood on his chariot before asking plainly, "So you were asking who I am?"

He retrieved a piece of red maple leaf and opened his palm, allowing the leaf to dance freely in the wind.

"The Azure Thunder Chariot, the red maple leaf…" The white-robed aged cultivator exclaimed, "Hong Ye, he must be Hong Ye!"

Everyone around was all shocked as they focused on the youth robed in black who was standing on the Azure Thunder Chariot which was floating in mid-air.

The expression on Taoist Tiemu's face changed to something extremely unpleasant as he squeezed out the few words, "Hong Ye!"

Though she was surrounded, Xiang Lanying could not resist staring at Hong Ye with a swooned look.

Lin Feng might be the only person among all of them to remain void of any feelings as he looked from above, laughing, "So is this the legendary entrance which all heroes enter from?"

Suddenly, other voices could be heard from the Azure Thunder Chariot. And it was not only two voices.

Lin Feng took a closer look and he was stunned as he almost fell off the Black Cloud Flag.

"What the…"

Chapter 154: A Harem!!!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: - -

On the Azure Thunder Chariot, there were more than two voices that did not belong to Hong Ye.

The different voices exhibited characteristics of sweetness, crisp and many other personalities.

But that was not the important point. Most importantly, the voices were all female voices.

And there were not only two voices!

Out of curiosity, Lin Feng took a closer look at the people who were sitting on the Azure Thunder Chariot. "What the…!"

The entire chariot was packed with beauties who could shame the prettiest flowers in the world.

They were either posh, cold, bossy, demure or spicy. There were no repeats in the type of girls he had on his huge chariot.

Virgin Mary style, Waitress style, Bossy girl style, Lolicon style etc. He had every single species of girl in his carriage!

And they were not any normal girl. Lin Feng took only a glance to ascertain that the lowest amongst them was at least a Qi Training Stage cultivator. Amongst them, three of them were at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"This is a harem! An actual harem!" Lin Feng could not believe his eyes. What shocked him the most was how the entire chariot of beauties were all unison in admiring Hong Ye as their eyes never left him at all. Not even the Taoist Tiemu who was at the Aurous Core Stage.

The group of beauties were just staring at Hong Ye with their swooned look as though it would be alright even if the entire world crumbled.

"Come find me, ladies! Forget about that man!"

Lin Feng controlled himself and made sure those words did not slip out of his mouth.

"Counting the time I had spent cultivating in the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World, it would have been ten years since I had been transported into this world. Yet I'm still a virgin." Lin Feng grumbled with much bitterness. "You brat! How could you hog so much of these precious resources! You really deserved to be spat by the Heavens!"

"I shall curse you that it will never be able to stand up again!"

Regardless of what he thought, Lin Feng could not help but accept the fact that he might have just met another of his prodigious disciple.

And different form Xiao Yan and the rest, the lad in front of him had already taken flight and had led his way into maturity.

Lin Feng took out his Talent Analysis Device as he pondered about whether Hong Ye had a master already.

Hong Ye did not have a master and very quickly the Talent Analysis Device displayed his potential.

"Huh?"

Lin Feng stared at the statistics shown on the device and was utterly stunned. He tried resetting the device to ensure that he did not retrieve the wrong numbers. And he got the same results again.

"Is the device not working? It can't be……" Lin Feng stared at Hong Ye with much confusion.

Xiang Lanying and the rest could not bother that much as they let out exclaims of joy. In fact, some of them teared at the prospect of surviving this battle.

"So it is Hong Ye! We are saved!"

"Rumour has it that Hong Ye was the son of an official. At the age of four, he had already began studying literature. At seven, he began taking examinations. At the age of twelve, he aced the imperial examinations but he chose to move to the mountains to study Taoism rather than accepting the position of an official."

The aged white robed cultivator nodded his head, "That's right. There were many sects which were fighting to get Hong Ye as their disciple back then. But Hong Ye refused all their offers and chose to train himself in the mountain for a good five years. He grasped the art of Taoism himself and created his own techniques."

"Hong Ye took three years to attain the Foundation Establishment Stage. He took another year to erect the spiritual altar and another year before he crafted the crucible. At the age of 25, he is already at the final level of the the Foundation Establishment Stage. You must know that all his accomplishments were all from his own comprehension and understanding without the assistance from any Sects."

Xiang Lanying stared at Hong Ye blankly and muttered, "I heard that Hong Ye had impossible fortune and luck as well as powers. He was said to have been able to defeat cultivators which were at a higher stage of development than him back when he was at the Qi Training Stage."

"Just awhile back, he had just slayed a Demonic Commander which was at the Aurous Core Stage, despite being only a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator."

The white-robed cultivator nodded his head fervently, "That is right."

Xiang Lanying stared at Hong Ye dreamily as she thought about all the legendary stories about Hong Ye. Soon, she found herself swept off her feet by him.

Taoist Tiemu, who was about to become a stepping stone for Hong Ye's next feat, was increasingly displeased with Hong Ye.

He would be very offended if people would to start spreading rumors about him being scared of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

Though Hong Ye had proven himself as a very powerful cultivator by slaying a Demonic Commander which was at the same level as Taoist Tiemu, past efforts of forming the Aurous Core had made Taoist Tiemu an extremely determined cultivator. As long as his opponent had never sparred with him before, he would not be frightened by the mere name or reputation of his opponent.

What Taoist Tiemu feared were the four Thunder Draco Horses pulling the Azure Thunder Chariot.

Just the four horses were enough to be on par with the powers of four Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators. Somemore, the Azure Thunder Chariot was the product of the Grand Celestial World's number one craftsmen sect, Celestial Smith Faction.

Even if he were to do away with the fact that Hong Ye was at the final level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, being able to ride such a chariot would made Taoist Tiemu deliberate on his actions.

While Taoist Tiemu was hesitating, Hong Ye was not willing to be courteous and wait for him to make up his mind.

Hong Ye glanced at Taoist Tiemu coldly, before speaking in a very plain tone, "Scram or die."

Lin Feng gaped as he thought, "Wow, that's how you make foes."

Indeed, Taoist Tiemu's already black face turned into blood red.

An Aurous Core Stage cultivator being mocked by a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator?!

"Infidel, don't push your luck just because you have an Azure Thunder Chariot!" Taoist Tiemu roared as he leapt into the air before planting his palms together as a dark cloud loomed towards and over Hong Ye.

Lin Feng's eyes were focused on the dark cloud and he noticed how within the depths of the dark cloud resided a strange flying sword which was like a fish swimming in water.

Obviously, Taoist Tiemu was in deep rage but when he was dealing with his opponent, he still managed to maintained a calm mind and could still devise despicable methods.

He wanted to make use of the dark cloud to attract the attention of the Azure Thunder Cloud so that he could command the flying sword within the clouds to launch a sneak attack on his opponent. A classic strategy of misdirection to overcome one's enemies.

Hongy, who maintained a calm and composed expression, saw Taoist Tiemu's attack and smiled as he shook his head gently.

This action was seemingly very attractive as the ladies on his chariots donned an expression which illustrated their increased admiration for him.

"Azure Thunder Chariot? When did I ever mention that I was going to use the chariot to attack you?"

Hong Ye laughed condescendingly as he waved his arm to toss out a bronze mirror.

The bronze mirror spun in the air to reveal a black side and a white side. And right at this moment, the black side was facing the dark cloud which Taoist Tiemu had just casted.

The dark cloud vanished instantly and the flying sword which was residing within the cloud naturally disappeared as well.

"What is that magic item?" Taoist Tiemu exclaimed in shock. He wanted to call back his sword but realized that the flying sword which was facing the black surface of the mirror was not able to return to his side.

Within the black side of the mirror, one would notice the flying sword struggling to break free from the realm of the mirror.

Seeing how the tides had changed, Taoist Tiemu released another flying sword, which was emblazoned in red as flames ran across its entire body, towards Hong Ye.

Hong Ye smiled once again and shouted, "If death is what you seek for, then don't blame me."

He quickly brought his hands together and muttered some incantations. The bronze mirror flipped itself to reveal the white surface of the mirror. As the reflection from the white mirror shone on Taoist Tiemu, both his fire and water swords were both repelled.

A bossy young lady on the chariot laughed, "Taoist, let me explain to you. My husband's bronze mirror is an Aurous Core Stage magic item, called the Universal Magneton Yin Yang Mirror."

"This mirror uses the Universal Magneton as the foundation for its attractive force and is split into both the Yin and Yang surfaces. The Yin surface can immobilise magic items and nothing can run away from it. The Yang surface can injure and damage magic items and no one can stop it!"

Taoist Tiemu laughed, "How dare you behave so haughtily with just a single Aurous Core Stage magic item?"

His mana surged as the water and fire swords combined and worked in unison. The water-type flying sword became like streak of water-mist while the fire-type flying sword blazed with a fiercer fire than before as both of them flew towards the Universal Magneton Yin Yang Mirror.

Because Taoist Tiemu was an Aurous Core Stage cultivator and his mana was far superior compared to Hong Ye, the Universal Magneton Yin Yang Mirror faced difficulties with stopping this attack

Hong Ye did not panic as he tossed out a long rope towards Taoist Tiemu.

It was not clear what powers the long rope possessed but for some weird reason, Taoist Tiemu could not dodge the rope and was bound tightly by the rope.

The moment he was constricted by the rope, Taoist Tiemy found his mana stagnating and unable to flow around his body smoothly.

Because of that, the gulf between their mana was evened out by quite a bit.

On the chariot, an ice-queen type beauty glanced at Taoist Tiemu, "My husband's Dragon Leash is also another Aurous Core Stage magic item. Any cultivator which is at a similar training stage would not be able to struggle against it. They can only wait to die."

"But because you are at the Aurous Core Stage, only your powers will be suppressed."

The Azure Thunder Chariot, the Universal Magneton Yin Yang Mirror and the Dragon's Leash. It seemed that Hong Ye had countless treasures on him.

Xiang Lanying and the rest were all left gaping and drowning in their own admiration and envy.

"So many treasures… No wonder he can challenge foes that are above his level." Lin Feng saw how Hong Ye took out his treasures one by one as though his pouch was a hole of an impossible depth. But this only led to more confusion. "That's strange… Then, how come the Talent Analysis Device would generate such a reading?"

After being mocked by the beauties around Hong Ye, Taoist Tiemu was bursting with rage.

"You bitches, wait till I slay that little brat. I will make sure I harvest all Yin energy from your delicate bodies. I will torment all of you till your deaths!"

"He gave a loud battle cry, and instantaneously released three flying swords, each representing the three elements of Metal, Wood and Earth, which combined with the previous two elements of Water and Fire, to form a gigantic sword which encompassed all five elements.

"Five Elements Blade of Yin!"

The gigantic sword brought about gales of Yin wind, which were like the howls and screams of the ghouls, as they flew towards Hong Ye.

"You have angered me." Hong Ye who had remained calm and composed revealed an angry look as he extended two of his fingers.

"You have committed two mistakes. Firstly, you should not played around with your pathetic swords in front of me. You not only did it once but thrice."

"Secondly, you should not have scolded my women. Whoever scolds my women, I will exterminate his entire family and anyone related to him by blood!"

Hong Ye muttered some incantations for his sword technique and a blinding flash of sword radiance burst out from Azure Thunder Chariot. It was so bright that it could struck fear even in the most fearsome of ghosts.

"Let me show you how you should use a sword!"

Chapter 155: A Trap?!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: - -

The blinding sword radiance spun about on top of the Azure Thunder Chariot and the smell of death permeated throughout the air.

Even Lin Feng was slightly impressed, "What a bloodthirsty sword… Even Mount Shu's Liu Yang would not be able to generate so much lust for blood."

Hong Ye was totally disinterested in the incoming Five Elements Blade of Yin as he made a remark with the most sympathetic voice. "This sword is called the Dragon Slaying Sabre. At its peak in the past, it had taken countless lives and cultivated an aura which radiated bloodthirst."

"Usually I will not use this sword. But because of your little misdeeds, it seems like I have little choice."

As he talked, Hong Ye used his hand to call upon some incantations as the Dragon Slaying Sabre released a deafening howl which was close to the howl that a dragon would give off before it died.

The Dragon Slaying Sabre transformed into a streak of black light and intercepted the Five Elements Blade of Yin.

The loud howl formed the gales of Yin was blown apart by the sheer amount of energy generated from the blood lust by the Dragon Slaying Sabre.

The physical body of the Five Elements Blade of Yin was actually cut into half by the black light!

Taoist Tiemu, could sense the damage done to his swords, and because they were an extension of him, he could not help but spit out blood.

Despite being enraged, he was already all but sure that his Aurous Core Stage powers would not be able to defeat Hong Ye who was only at the final level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Despite having the upperhand in mana and powers, Taoist Tiemu could not fend off the treasures which Hong Ye possessed.

Especially the Dragon Slaying Sabre, which was an immensely powerful weapon.

That was if we discounted the fact that Hong Ye had not used his Azure Thunder CHariot.

Taoist Tiemu did not hesitate any longer as he summoned a gale of Yin which began to sweep him away.

Hong Ye raised his brows and exclaimed, "A man full of sinful deeds! How dare you run?"

He chanted another incantation and the Dragon Slaying Sabre transformed into another streak of black light which gave chase to Taoist Tiemu.

Taoist Tiemu turned around and glared at Hong Ye with much hatred, "So you want to play real? I shall make sure you perish along with me." Afterwards, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat out some blood essence, which floated in mid-air.

Taoist Tiemu quickly moved his fingers and hands and drew some runes with his blood essence.

The runes gave off a green and purple glow which shrunk a little before exploding into endless gales of Yin energy.

Within the gales, a pungent smell permeated throughout the entire area.

Lin Feng was a good distance away from the battle but he could not avoid feeling the urge to vomit after smelling the repulsive scent. Nothing was more repulsive than that smell, maybe except for the Unholy Blood River.

The white-robed aged cultivator and the rest screamed in unison, "Watch out! It's the Absolute Yin Poison Smog!"

"Hong Ye! Be careful!" Xiang Lanying exclaimed. Without even thinking, she threw herself in front of Hong Ye to take the blow from the Absolute Yin Poison Smog.

After being buffeted by the Absolute Yin Poison Smog, Xiang Lanying found her legs turned into jelly as a faint purple color crept into her face.

Hong Ye frowned as he carried Xiang Lanying onto the Azure Thunder Chariot. After examining her condition closely, he retrieved a jade pendant and put it on her.

With the suppressive power of the jade penchant, the purple glow retracted a little but she was still deeply poisoned.

Hong Ye calmed himself and muttered, "What a powerful poison."

With the interference of the Absolute Yin Poison Smog, Taoist Tiemu managed to flee away.

On the Azure Thunder Chariot, a classy but cold lady, who was dressed in an imperial costume frowned as she muttered, "Yet he escaped."

Hong Ye shook his head, "As much as I don't want him to flee, but I can't let this good-hearted lady die."

The lady dressed in an imperial costume smiled, "It's because you are such a nice guy, that's why I chose you to be my husband."

Hong Ye smiled gently and a gentle beauty next to him asked, "So my dear husband, what shall we do next?"

"The poison in this lady has not been cleared. And being a responsible man, I cannot let it hang like this. Since we are on our way to the Hundred Herbs Sect, we can rely on their expertise in medicine and elixirs. They are very reputable in the Hengduan Mountains."

The bossy and spicy girl added, "You might make it sound nice, but all I can see is that you are adding another sister to our little harem again."

Hong Ye smiled , "If she is willing to follow me, I naturally will not reject. Xiao Man, don't worry, you know I will still love you all the same."

Xiao Man pinched her nose and turned her head away. But one could tell that she was not really angry but simple throwing another routine tantrum.

A shy girl suddenly asked, "Since you are going to the Hundred Herbs Sect to look for the Mortal Spiritual Elixir, I was just wondering if the elixir would be able to heal this new sister of ours."

The cold lady donning the imperial costume frowned, "Xiao Rou, watch your words. Such things are not meant to be mentioned in front of outsiders."

Xiao Rou nodded her head fearfully like a shocked little rabbit, "I am sorry, Big Sister."

The Big Sister smiled which gave off the look of an iceberg thawing under the pleasant spring sun.

She hugged Xiao Rou in her arms and smiled, "You foolish little girl, of course I know you did not say it on purpose."

"What the heck?"

Lin Feng gaped from above as he muttered, "How can a harem be so peaceful? Are you kidding me?"

It was at this instant where Lin Feng had really wanted to ask Hong Ye to be his master, to teach him nothing other than building a cohesive and harmonious harem.

Hong Ye finally managed to free himself from his women to engage the peers of Xiang Lanying.

"This lady was poisoned because of me. It is naturally my responsibility to cure her. After she is free from the poison, I will send her back to your Sect."

The white-robed aged cultivator looked at the people around him and they nodded reluctantly, "I guess we will have to depend on you."

The two young men's faces as they developed an inferiority complex as they compared themselves with Hong Ye.

Quite apparently, they were admirers of Xiang Lanying who was a natural beauty, but after bumping into Hong Ye, there was nothing left but tragedy.

Hong Ye nodded his head and kept the Dragon Slaying Sabre, the Universal Magneton Yin Yang Mirror and the Dragon's Leash.

The four Thunder Draco Horses let out a loud neigh as they opened up their humongous strides and along with gales and thunders by their sides, they dragged the Azure Thunder Chariot along. Soon enough, they disappeared from everyone's sight.

All that was left was just the distant sound of thunder rolling away.

An impossible entrance and an impossible departure. What a lad!

Lin Feng did not hurry after them but chose to remain at where he was. His face was void of any expression.

What he could not understand was the reading shown by the Talent Analysis Device. The other values might not matter that much but the key thing that did not tally was the Fortune score.

Hong Ye's Fortune score was only five!

"Is the Talent Analysis Device spoilt?" Lin Feng asked repeatedly. How could someone with so many treasures and a huge harem be someone with a Fortune score of five?

Despite only being at the final level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he owned at least three Aurous Core Stage magic items. In addition, he had an Aurous Core Stage Azure Thunder Chariot.

No matter how you would look at it, Zhu Yi, who had a full score for the Fortune attribute, was not as fortunate as him to be in possession of so many treasures.

As Lin Feng continued to ponder on this issue, he noticed something which was really wrong.

As the sound of the thunder from the Azure Thunder Chariot faded away, the white robed aged cultivator stared at the rest of the people as they all broke into a smile.

And without saying anything, he made a sweeping motion with his hands and he quickly vanished into the woods.

The remaining four followed suit very quickly after he vanished.

Strangely, the direction which they were heading towards was the exact direction which Taoist Tiemu fled towards.

"They want to chase after Taoist Tiemu? It can't be. A fallen phoenix would still be a phoenix. They won't be able to take advantage of anything at all." Lin Feng thought as he shadowed them decisively.

After a good ten miles or so, the white-robed aged cultivator and the four others entered a little ravine among the mountains.

As he followed them into the ravine, Lin Feng found a group of people waiting for the white-robed aged cultivator.

The leader of the group was none other than Taoist Tiemu. Standing behind him were his remaining two disciples.

Taoist Tiemu now donned a pale face, which contrasted against his previous tanned face. Indeed, the destruction of his Five Elements Blade of Yin by Hong Ye had really dealt serious damage onto him.

But right now, Taoist Tiemu's expression spoke nothing but peace. There was no sign of anger nor dispiritedness.

It was the same for the white-robed cultivator who did not exhibit any sigh of hatred nor fear. All he did was to pay his respects.

Seeing this, Lin Feng finally understood what was going on.

So Taoist Tiemu and the white-robed cultivator were together all along. They were only playing along to cheat someone.

And the someone was none other than Hong Ye.

"So did the thing went on as planned?" Taoist Tiemu asked plainly.

The white-robed cultivator answered, "Lanying had been taken away by him. He did not seemed to be suspicious."

Taoist Tiemu nodded his head but a look of worry appeared on his face. "Lanying might be outstanding in her looks but so are the ladies who surround themselves around Hong Ye. She will need quite a bit of luck to pull it off."

The white-robed cultivator acknowledged it by nodding his head.

"There is nothing to do but try," he sighed.

Taoist Tiemu waved his sleeve as he ordered, "You all may now take your leave."

The white-robed cultivator and the rest followed his orders and left.

Taoist Tiemu remained at where he was as he muttered, "Now that I had paid such a big price, I must lay my hands on the Hundred Herb Sect's Mortal Spiritual Elixir."

As he thought about the Mortal Spiritual Elixir, he became impassioned with his desires.

"Wait, what exactly is that Mortal Spiritual Elixir that you were talking about?"

A voice rang next to Taoist Tiemu, leaving him in shock.

Lin Feng's figure floated in mid-air as he stared at Taoist Tiemu with an inquisitive look.

Taoist Tiemu roared, "Who are you?!"

Lin Feng shook his head, "That's not the important question. The question is what is this Mortal Spiritual Elixir that you want?"

Taoist Tiemu's expression darkened as he extended both his arms and a sea of dark clouds zoomed towards Lin Feng.

"If you're thinking of fighting against me, don't even bother." Lin Feng continued with the plainest voice possible, "Because you are already too close to me!"

Taoist Tiemu was alerted by his words as his sense of danger tingled so strongly that it almost made him lose focus. Following which, he could not bother to use his mana to suppress his injuries any longer as he increased the amount of mana in his attack in hope of finishing Lin Feng off.

But right at this moment, Lin Feng flickered and he was so fast that all that Taoist Tiemu could see were mere split images of Lin Feng at positions where he was split seconds ago.

And just as Lin Feng had said, the distance between both of them was really too close by the standards of his Avatar.

The moment the word "close" was said, Lin Feng's fist had already shot out.

And before the word "close" was fully enunciated, Lin Feng had already retracted his fist.

Afterwards, Lin Feng stood at where he was as though he had never left that place.

Taoist Tiemu was left gaping as he stared at his own chest blankly.

To be more precise, he was staring at the huge hole which Lin Feng had left in his chest after the punch!

Chapter 156: The Hundred Herbs Sect

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: - -

The Taoist Tiemu gasped at the gaping hole of his grotesque wound. He finally realized what Lin Feng meant previously when he said that the distance between them was too close.

The Taoist Tiemu slowly collapsed to the ground. His internal organs have all been ruptured by Lin Feng's punch, his physical body had already died.

"My mastery in the initial stages of the Aurous Core may not specialize in physical prowess, but to have my physical body be killed by just one punch, just how high is this man's mastery?" The Taoist Tiemu panicked. He fired a ray of golden light from the middle of his forehead and started fleeing to the skies.

He placed his soul on the Aurous Core and was attempting to escape.

Lin Feng would never let him run. With a finger surging with mana from the River Styx Nirvana Mantra, he immediately locked down the Taoist Tiemu's soul.

The Taoist Tiemu had already sustained grave injuries from his duel with the playboy Hong Ye. If he is attacked again by Lin Feng, the damage to his soul would be immensely severe. His only option was to be captured by Lin Feng, and be turned into a puppet by the Unholy Marionette Spell.

Lin Feng smiled, "Will you speak now?"

The Taoist Tiemu didn't want to talk, but he no longer had free will over his body. He could only reveal everything he knew to Lin Feng.

Recently, a message had been spread from the Hundred Herbs Sect of Mount Changchun in the Great Hengduan mountain ranges.

The Sect's Grandmaster had been developing a mysterious elixir, named the Mortal Spiritual Elixir.

Rumours claim that this elixir can promote cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage up to the Aurous Core stage.

And Aurous Core stage cultivators can raise the quality of their Aurous Cores if they consume the elixir.

Rumours also claim that the Mortal Spiritual Elixir will be completed soon. That's why the Taoist Tiemu had been swayed.

And the playboy Hong Ye had obviously gotten wind of the news and was headed for the Hundred Herbs Sect.

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, "If the Hundred Herbs Sect possesses such an elixir, wouldn't that mean that they can mass-produce Aurous Core stage cultivators?"

This was a highly frightening prospect.

For most sects, Aurous Core stage cultivators are the nucleus of the sect's power. For instance, sects like the Hengyue Faction and the Xuandao Sect only have one Grandmaster in the Nascent Soul stage residing, while the sect's Elders are only at the Aurous Core stage.

Furthermore, for large sects like the Great Barren Sword Sect, the Sword of Radiance Sect and the Intense Flaming Sword Sect, Aurous Core cultivators are similarly still the pillars supporting the sect, forming its backbone.

If the Hundred Herbs Sect can really use elixirs to mass-produce Aurous Core stage cultivators, it would be an extremely terrifying prospect indeed.

That being said, would the other great sects, in particular the local rulers of the Hengduan mountains, the Great Barren Sword Sect, just sit quietly and watch the Hundred Herbs Sect rise to power just under their noses?

Lin Feng voiced his own doubts, and the Taoist Tiemu replied honestly, "I heard the Great Barren Sword Sect had sent people to scout the Hundred Herbs Sect, and the conclusion was that, the Mortal Spiritual Elixir was nothing more than a fictitious rumour."

"But we would rather believe the rumour just in case, hence we need to start strategizing. If the elixir really exists, we should still think about how to obtain it."

Lin Feng nodded and said no more. He imprisoned the Taoist Tiemu in the Black Cloud Flag and then continued flying towards Mount Changchun.

No matter whether the Mortal Spiritual Elixir was real or fake, the Swelling Earth was still something Lin Feng needed.

Mount Changchun was at the southern region of the Great Hengduan mountain range, enjoying eternal spring and excellent weather. Areas south of the mountain were exceedingly hot, while places north of it were freezing cold.

Its location between two drastically different climates has also produced many precious herbs.

Upon landing on the lush Mount Changchun, Lin Feng followed Chen Gang's instructions and found a mountain stream. He followed the flow of the stream and before long, he came upon a cave.

The cave was huge, with countless intersecting underground tunnels stretching in all directions, more like a giant underground palace than a cave.

Once he entered the cave, Lin Feng searched thoroughly, but the results were depressingly disappointing.

After he rummaged the entire cave, Lin Feng only found a miserably small amount of Swelling Earth, even less than what he acquired from Chen Gang's Anti-water Flag.

"What's going on here?" Lin Feng grabbed Chen Gang's soul and said with a stone cold face, "I remembered you saying that, the Swelling Earth you obtained when training with the Anti-water Flag was just a small fraction of the total amount?"

Chen Gang helplessly said, "I did only take a very small portion, but maybe others have foraged here and retrieved all the remaining Swelling Earth."

Lin Feng frowned, but before he could interrogate further, he suddenly heard voices coming from the mouth of the cave.

"Who's there?"

Lin Feng quietly kept Chen Gang's soul and turned around. Two cultivators wearing green were standing at the entrance, looking at him with tense, alert faces.

The pair were only cultivators at the Qi Training stage, and couldn't see through his powers. But they sensed Lin Feng's far superior mastery, so although they were on guard, they had no intention of provoking him.

Lin Feng smiled, "I heard there's a strange soil here called the Swelling Earth, which can replenish itself and never run out, so I came just to check it out.

He turned his head and scanned his surroundings. "Just that there seems to be none here."

Before coming to Mount Changchun, Lin Feng did some background research and could recognise the clothes of the two Qi Training cultivators. This was the formal attire of the Hundred Herbs Sect cultivators.

The two cultivators looked at each other, then one of them looked at Lin Feng warily. "You came here to obtain the Swelling Earth?"

Lin Feng wavered and said, "Not exactly, I was merely curious and wanted to see it. I'm trained in water-type spells, and earth can counter water. I wouldn't seek trouble for myself."

As he said this, Lin Feng waved his hand and smashed the stalactites around him with his water arrows.

Lin Feng's Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams can conjure almost anything, so creating a few water arrows was just a small feat.

Seeing this, the two cultivators lowered their hostility, one of them even smiled, "You have come at a bad time. The Swelling Earth in this cave has all been collected by our Grandmaster of the Hundred Herbs Sect."

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat.

The Grandmaster in question was naturally the formidable one in the Nascent Soul stage residing in the Hundred Herbs Sect - the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster.

That being said, the Hundred Herbs Sect was famous for crafting herbs and elixirs, its sect's spells and skills are not ideal for attacking enemies.

Most cultivators in the Hundred Herbs Sect used crafted spiritual elixirs against their opponents, drawing on the essence of elixirs to summon various spells. Their healing and recovery abilities were very strong, and they could also produce poisons to attack their enemies.

But on a whole, their attacking capabilities paled in comparison with other cultivators of the same levels.

But even so, the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster was still a true Nascent Soul cultivator, and according to legend, had already formed his soul a few thousand years ago.

Given Lin Feng's current mastery level in the Aurous Core initial stages, if he harnessed the powers of both the surrounding Purple Clouds and the Two Elements of Creation Formation, he was confident in facing a Nascent Soul cultivator in battle.

But he would obviously be seeking trouble if he was charging into another's fortress to pit against a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Furthermore, aside from the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster, the Sect would have a certain number of Aurous Core elders. Lin Feng normally wouldn't mind them, but if he were to stumble during his duel with the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster, they could pick off his weakened state.

Lin Feng decided against the idea, but without revealing it through his expressions, he shook his head and smiled, "What a shame then, I wanted to learn more about this mysterious self-replenishing soil."

The two Hundred Herbs Sect cultivators chuckled, "Purely seeing it may not even be beneficial. As you said, this soil would be the complete counter for water-type attacks.

Lin Feng smiled obligingly and walked out of the cave. When he brushed past the two cultivators, he seemingly unwittingly slipped out a question, "Oh right, I heard your sect's Mortal Spiritual Elixir is almost completed. I'm not sure how's the progress, when exactly will it be ready?"

Lin Feng was startling them intentionally. Since the Great Barren Sword Sect had already confronted them, the Hundred Herbs Sect would naturally know that the news had leaked, so Lin Feng had already anticipated any defensive measures.

Furthermore, provoking the opponent purposely would increase the chances of them making mistakes, especially if they had extensively prepared countermeasures. One slip-up from them would very well reveal a hint to Lin Feng.

Though, Lin Feng was not as concerned about the elixir as much as he was about the Swelling Earth.

Never did he expect that the two cultivators would just stare at each other upon hearing his question, seemingly at a loss.

"The Hundred Herbs Sect never had such an elixir, where did you hear this rumour from?"

"Then perhaps I was mistaken." Lin Feng carefully observed their expressions. They didn't seem to be panicking or on guard, just confused and lost. Neither did they seem to be feigning ignorance, so they probably are truly unaware of the elixir.

"Could their mastery levels be too low for them to be exposed to such news?" Lin Feng frowned, but promptly rejected that possibility. "No, if there really is someone in the Hundred Herbs Sect spreading such a message, he would definitely be doing so in his own sect first."

If that were the case, these two cultivators couldn't possibly know nothing at all.

It wouldn't matter if the Mortal Spiritual Elixir was just a rumour. But if it's real, then things would really be interesting.

News that not even their own sect's disciples have heard of, is spreading like wildfire among everyone else outside the sect.

As Lin Feng exited the cave, his eyes sparkled. "There are people outside the Hundred Herbs Sect that know of the Mortal Spiritual Elixir and have spread the news. This also means that, regardless of whether the elixir exists, there are people trying to sabotage the Hundred Herbs Sect."

In that case, Lin Feng would have no chance of acquiring any information.

After leaving the cave, Lin Feng ascended a peak of one of the mountains and gazed to the south.

There was a steep mountain penetrating through the sea of clouds. It was the main peak, Changchun Peak, of Mount Changchun, and was also the base of the Hundred Herbs Sect.

Changchun Peak was shrouded by clouds and mist. Lin Feng inhaled a deep breath, and felt a faint medicinal power spread through his limbs and bones.

The Hundred Herbs Sect was truly well-versed in crafting medicines and elixirs, even the surrounding mist of Changchun Peak is choke-full of the medicinal essence from numerous mountain herbs.

"It would be best to enter and find out what's going on." Lin Feng pondered, suddenly considering that idea again.

Turning back, he saw over ten rays of sword radiance cut across the skies, flying in from afar, heading straight for Changchun Peak.

The sword radiance looked dazzlingly colourful, yet emitted a desolate and ominous aura.

"The Great Barren Sword Sect? Just in time." Lin Feng had an idea.

Chapter 157: On top of Changchun Peak

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: - -

Over ten rays of sword radiances sliced across the skies and charged towards Changchun Peak, where the Hundred Herbs Sect resided.

The sword radiances was dazzlingly colourful and seemingly random and disorganized, yet upon closer inspection, all of them combined emitted a desolate and ominous aura.

Lin Feng stared at the sword radiances and thought to himself, "I've heard long ago that the Treasure of the Great Barren Sword Sect, the 'Great Barren Sword Code', has extensive history, and has been passed down since ancient times. After witnessing it now, it truly lives up to its reputation."

The sword radiance leading the pack was bright red, burning with astonishing power, like a flaming comet falling onto Changchun Peak with an immensely long trail of smoke behind it.

"An Aurous Core stage cultivator." Lin Feng promptly determined the person's mastery level with a brief glimpse.

The Great Barren Sword Sect was the greatest superpower in the southern Hengduan mountain ranges. The Aurous Core stage cultivators visiting the Hundred Herbs Sect were similar in nature to those sent by higher-ups to check on subordinates.

The Hundred Herbs Sect naturally wouldn't reject visits from other sects. The thick mist around the mountain parted into two under the manipulation of cultivators, temporarily lifting the formation's defensive barrier and inviting the Great Barren Sword Sect cultivators onto Changchun Peak.

The Hundred Herbs Sect has a Grandmaster in the Nascent Soul stage residing there, while the messengers sent by the Great Barren Sword Sect were no more than Aurous Core stage cultivators. Hence, they showed the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster the necessary respect by halting their advancing sword radiances and landing on the ground to ascend the peak by foot.

Lin Feng seized the chance to conceal himself and secretly followed behind the group of Great Barren Sword Sect cultivators up Changchun Peak.

Regardless if it was a forceful dash or a silent crossing, confronting the Mountain Defence Spell Formation would always startle the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster easily, but now with the Great Barren Sword Sect visiting and the Hundred Herbs Sect generously opening their gates to welcome them, Lin Feng managed to enter Changchun Peak unnoticed.

With the system helping to conceal him, as long as he doesn't confront anyone, it would be difficult for others to detect Lin Feng's presence.

While trekking up the road to the summit, Lin Feng carefully hid his presence while secretly observing the situation around Changchun Peak.

Changchun Peak, like other mountain peaks of the Great Hengduan mountain range, had a dangerously steep incline, abound with near vertical cliff walls and sharp slopes.

Normally, sects in mountainous regions would grow their fields of herbs on gentler slopes.

But the Hundred Herbs Sect's herbs are grown in abundance on these staggering cliff walls.

Small amounts of soil lie within the crevices between the rocks on the cliff wall, and many herbs grow on these pockets of soil on the cliff until maturity.

And what's shocking was that, almost all the rock walls were sprouting with various kinds of herbs that formed a dense blanket enveloping the cliffs.

"The Nine Songs Heavenly Sesame, the main ingredient for many mana-restoring potions."

" The Black Golden Blood Ginseng, the main ingredient for the Thunderous Echo Elixir, which heals wounds with miraculous effectiveness."

"The Tri-coloured Orchid. The Tri-Solar Oceanic Elixir crafted from it can expand the Aura Sea of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment initial stage and increase the total amount of their mana.

"And the Soul-fusing Fruit, the resulting Soul-fusing Elixir can increase the speed at which cultivators harness the surrounding spiritual energy and raise their training efficiency ... well, these are all amazing herbs." Lin Feng was salivating just by looking at these herbs. As he was not well-versed with herbs, he couldn't recognize more than half of the herbs on the rock walls.

And those herbs he could identify already made him extremely excited.

After ascending Changchun Peak, the summit was unexpectedly flat, but it didn't seem like a natural formation, but rather created by a person with high mana mastery who forcefully sliced off the original summit to form this plateau.

The leader of the Great Barren Sword Sect's party was a lean middle-aged man with a long sword slung across his back. His expression was calm with no hostile intent.

After the rest of the visiting party followed the receiving Hundred Herbs Sect elder to rest from the journey, the middle-aged man entered the Grand Hall at the heart of the summit alone with escorts from the host sect.

At the end of the Grand Hall sat an old man in green robes with hair as white as snow, his legs crossed over a futon. Before him lay a huge elixir cauldron. The fire in the cauldron burned vigorously, with a herbal aroma sifting through the air, indicating that the brewing elixir was almost completed.

The lean middle-aged man bowed. "I, Qu Bin, have come to meet you, Senior of the Hundred Herbs Sect."

The white-haired old man was naturally the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herbs Sect, the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster. He smiled, "Qu Bin, no need to be so formal. I've already known your master for nearly a thousand years."

Qu Bin smiled. The Hundred Herbs Sect is just a small fry compared to the Great Barren Sword Sect, but he was still courteous and gracious towards the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster. This was the due respect that an Aurous Core stage cultivator should show a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

One need not respect the person, but one must respect power.

This was Qu Bin's belief.

He looked at the elixir cauldron and smiled, "Looks like Grandmaster has crafted another batch of top-quality elixirs."

The Hundred Herbs Grandmaster chuckled, "You've come at a good time. Take half of these elixirs back for your master."

Qu Bin smiled and nodded. The Hundred Herbs Sect occupied a large percentage of arable land for herb-growing in the Great Hengduan mountain range. The Great Barren Sword Sect has silently allowed this monopolization as the Hundred Herbs Sect provided large amounts of elixirs for them year after year.

Qu Bin's master, as the Grandmaster of the Great Barren Sword Sect and the closest ally of the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster, would therefore frequently enjoy special privileges for obtaining new elixirs.

"Open it!" The Hundred Herbs Grandmaster waited for the right flame intensity and waved his flowing sleeves. The elixir cauldron opened, and a herbal aroma immediately invigorated Qu Bin's senses. Countless rays of glowing light shot out of the cauldron and illuminated the entire hall.

Countless deific flowers and treasure trees shimmered amidst the glowing light.

Qu Bin took a light breath, and felt his entire body relax instantly and his Aurous Core strengthen greatly.

"It's an excellent elixir. Only Grandmaster can craft such elixirs in all of the Hengduan mountains." Qu Bin proclaimed, "And Grandmaster's elixir-crafting skills are top-notch, not a single ounce of herbs is wasted, everything is utilized to its maximum potential. I'm truly in awe."

The Hundred Herbs Grandmaster stroked his sleeves, evidently flattered by the adulation, but he soon let out another sigh.

"What a pity though, this elixir cauldron cannot keep up with the times."

The Hundred Herbs Grandmaster's cauldron was a piece of equipment that he acquired during his Aurous Core stage. At that time, it was extremely precious, but as his mastery levels increased, consequently, his elixir-crafting skills heightened and the cauldron's capabilities became outdated.

Although the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster had previously upgraded the cauldron to a Nascent Soul stage item, the cauldron's own foundation was still weak. After it was forcefully upgraded, it still couldn't keep up with the intensity of the Grandmaster's more advanced elixirs.

"How great would it be if I had the Ethereal Heart Cauldron." The Hundred Herbs Grandmaster's face was brimming with nostalgia, "I chanced upon it once last year, but sadly I brushed past it, and could not find it again when I tried searching afterwards."

Qu Bin was fascinated by this too, "I have heard of the Ethereal Heart Cauldron too. Apparently, it is made of meteorites from outer space, and it kindles its own fire when crafting elixirs. It can prepare elixirs in half the usual time with its intense flames."

The Hundred Herbs Grandmaster sighed and waved his sleeves, "Well, let's not talk about this anymore."

Qu Bin nodded, and his expression turned serious, "Grandmaster, how's the progress of the Mortal Spiritual Elixir?"

The Hundred Herbs Grandmaster chuckled, "The second batch of Mortal Spiritual Elixirs are almost ready. No need to worry."

"In our sect, despite my master's best efforts to hide the news, the elixir has already attracted much attention from many." Qu Bin sighed, "My master hopes that we temporarily halt the crafting of these elixirs once this batch is completed, and continue only after the excitement has died down."

The Hundred Herbs Grandmaster's sleepy eyes suddenly burned with passion. "Seems like that's our only option. If I catch the scoundrel who leaked the news, I swear I'll kill him with my most potent poisons!"

He looked at Qu Bin, "Just like last time, after the elixirs are completed, you can bring back sixty percent of it. You can stay on the mountain until the elixirs are completed."

Qu Bin nodded, "I had the same thought before I came here too."

Lin Feng stopped tailing Qu Bin once Qu Bin entered the Grand Hall.

"I'll just search for the Swelling Earth." Lin Feng pondered for a while and took out the Heaven and Earth Mirror. Since this mirror managed to locate the Gaia Jade previously, then it should be able to find the Swelling Earth as well.

Indeed, the Heaven and Earth Mirror glimmered and two dots lit up on the mirror surface. The red dot represented Lin Feng's current position and the yellow dot would probably represent the location of the Swelling Earth.

Lin Feng began searching in the direction given by the mirror, but suddenly heard long and loud neighing beside him.

"What a familiar sound." Lin Feng turned around to investigate and saw four magnificent Thunder Draco Horses pulling a huge Azure Thunder Chariot, slowly trudging forward under the lead of the Hundred Herbs Sect members.

Hong Ye then disembarked from the chariot and strolled onwards while chatting with an Aurous Core elder from the Hundred Herbs Sect.

Hong Ye may only have the mastery level of the Foundation Establishment's advanced stages, but he was already a renowned young talent known throughout the Hengduan mountain ranges. Many claimed that he would definitely become a legend in the future.

He was also extremely magnanimous, frequently purchasing the Hundred Herbs Sect's elixirs in bulk, being one of the sect's biggest clients. Hence, sending Aurous Core stage elders to receive him would naturally be necessary for maintaining an amicable relationship.

Hong Ye's massive harem followed behind him obediently.

This incredible entourage of beauties helped the playboy Hong Ye pump up his pride.

And the stream of beauties all looked straight ahead, staring longingly at Hong Ye's back without even a hint of subtlety, not sparing the Hundred Herbs Sect's men any looks and driving them insane.

No doubt, all that's written in the girls' minds was just this: I'm proud to love Hong Ye.

Lin Feng scanned the horde, and noticed Xiang Lanying in the harem.

She looked slightly pale, probably having just been healed. But this did not stop her from maintaining the same infatuation as the other girls, gazing unwaveringly at Hong Ye, evidently already assimilating as a loyal member of Hong Ye's harem.

Lin Feng snickered silently upon witnessing that sight.

While some may be disgusted seeing so many fresh cabbages being offered to the same dirty pig, but Lin Feng quickly threw this passing thought to the back of his mind and shifted his focus back to the Heaven and Earth Mirror.

Lin Feng searched according to the mirror's directions and after a while, he was quickly closing in on the Swelling Earth.

But when he looked around, he was still surrounded by barren wilderness.

"The Swelling Earth should have been collected by the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster not too long ago, he probably needs it for something, could it be for the supposed Mortal Spiritual Elixir?" Lin Feng thought to himself, "If the Mortal Spiritual Elixir really exists, yet the Hundred Herbs Sect disciples don't even know about it, this means that the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster has hid it from all others and crafted the elixir in secrecy."

"If I was the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster, where would I place the secret elixir chamber?"

Chapter 158: The Secret Elixir Chamber

Translator: Sparrow_ Editor: Sparrow_

"If I was the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster, where would I place the secret elixir chamber?"

Lin Feng asked himself.

While scanning the barren wilderness, Lin Feng quietly pondered, "Since it's a secret chamber that even the Hundred Herbs Sect's own disciples are unaware of, that means it's a place that unauthorized personnel definitely cannot access."

"Unauthorized personnel cannot access it, yet the Grandmaster himself can freely frequent the place ..." Lin Feng stomped his feet and stared at the gravel on the ground. "If one excavates a cave in the heart of Changchun Peak but doesn't leave a path to it, then passers-by wouldn't be able to access it."

"And as a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage who can transverse space while negating terrain constraints, he would be able to enter the cave effortlessly just by knowing the exact location of the cave.

A smile crept over Lin Feng's face. "I may not be at the Nascent Soul stage but I can still enter the old duff's little treasure chest."

Once the Heaven and Earth Mirror confirmed the cave's exact location, Lin Feng waved the Black Cloud Flag and vanished on the spot in a spiral of dark mist.

When the kaleidoscope of images flashing randomly in space finally settled to pitch black, Lin Feng knew he had arrived.

In total darkness, Lin Feng's eyes were still sharp as ever, with the darkness not hindering his vision in the slightest.

Lin Feng came upon a door, but avoided touching it carelessly. Since this was the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster's secret elixir chamber, he would have put in place multiple precautionary measures to prevent others from entering.

Using the Black Cloud Flag's teleportation abilities, Lin Feng passed through the walls to the other side of the door.

He was welcomed by an array of traps installed by the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster.

Mutated man-eating giant ants from Nanjiang that feed on gold and metal.

Red devilish miasma that corrodes gold and drains the mana of cultivators.

Dense white fog that makes victims distraught and disoriented.

Ferocious demonic beasts under mind-control by the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster, that rival Aurous Core stage cultivators in strength.

But for Lin Feng, he could pass through all these obstacles with ease using the power of teleportation.

Yet, at the final hurdle, Lin Feng was stuck.

There was a thick layer of impenetrable ice that encircled the chamber, like a frigid ice fortress blocking Lin Feng's path.

Worse still, Lin Feng realized that the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster had imposed a spatial embargo in the area.

He didn't obstruct Lin Feng's teleportation abilities, but if Lin Feng attempts to cross the ice barrier and touch the spatial embargo, the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster would notice him immediately.

Lin Feng knocked on the ice. Its incredible sturdiness and durability may only be outmatched by the ancient glaciers of the North Polar Sea. God knows how the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster acquired such ice.

"The Grand Sun Primordial Flame can probably break this ice wall." Lin Feng summoned the kindling of the Primordial Flame, and shot out a ray of heavenly fire like a golden needle, and slowly melted the thick ice.

As one of the Seven Legendary Primordial Fires, the firepower of the Grand Sun Primordial Flame was astonishing, promptly cracking the surface of the ice and continuously penetrating deeper.

Suddenly, Lin Feng felt an odd sensation, realizing that the melting ice had triggered a reaction from the ice fortress.

This was a defence mechanism set by the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster. Once it is activated, he would immediately sense the presence of the intruder.

Lin Feng reacted instinctively, and immediately lifted his hand in the air and chopped downwards.

It was the Fences of the Heavens Spell, which broke the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster's mana control of the area.

Lin Feng executed the spell extremely cautiously, taking great care not to cut off the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster's connections with the place permanently, but merely to create a temporary shield to contain all reactions from the changing ice wall within the cave, so as to not alert the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster.

But these types of barriers cannot last for long.

Especially since this wasn't Lin Feng's actual body, but the Avatar of Ares. Lin Feng's physical body has immense strength, but this spell could not rely on his physical prowess for power.

Lin Feng glanced at the progress of the melting ice and did a quick estimation. His heart sank.

The Fences of the Heavens would collapse long before the Grand Sun Primordial Flame manages to burn through the ice wall.

All in all, even though the Grand Sun Primordial Flame is formidable, having just one kindling is still too little.

Just a while more and the ice wall may have been broken, but there was no time to spare.

"Maybe I can try using this?"

An idea flashed through Lin Feng's mind, and he took out a reddish blue fruit. The top half of it was fiery red with scalding heat, while the bottom half was icy blue and freezing cold. It was the Fire and Ice Fruit which Lin Feng previously won from a lucky draw.

Based on its description, it's a very strange item. It turns cold when it touches something hot, and vice versa.

Lin Feng threw the Fire and Ice Fruit at the ice wall. When the fruit came into contact with the frigid ice, it suddenly transformed.

The fruit peel glowed with piercing red light, and instantaneously sparked a drastic reaction with the freezing ice wall.

The severe cold air suddenly ignited.

The ice was burning!

The freezing ice instantly morphed into raging fire, and the growing flames spread incessantly in all directions.

The freezing air fuelled the inferno further and the flames roared on.

Lin Feng gasped in awe. "Sure enough, it melts freezing ice into fuel for burning. The colder the ice, the stronger the flames. This little thing indeed contains a few unique twists and turns that defy common logic."

The special characteristics of the Fire and Ice Fruit certainly bear some similarities with those of the Two Elements of Creation Formation, which can turn raging fire into falling rain and transform howling winds into roaring thunder.

Lin Feng kept the Primordial Flame kindling and sure enough, the falling temperature of the ice wall instead triggered the Fire and Ice Fruit to burn even stronger, heightening the intensity of the flames.

In just a short amount of time, the raging fire scorched a huge hole in the ice fortress and through the entire width of the wall. After reaching the other side, the fire had no intention of extinguishing, and instead blazed even wilder, about to incinerate the entire fortress.

Lin Feng frowned. This was not what he had intended to do.

He threw out the kindling of the Primordial Fire once more, not at the ice wall but this time at the Fire and Ice Fruit.

Since the Fire and Ice Fruit has such flexible capabilities, Lin Feng could now use them to produce freezing air from the intense flames.

But when the kindling touched the Fire and Ice Fruit, the flames did not chill to freezing air.

Lin Feng then realized, "The Fire and Ice Fruit has its limits too. It cannot freeze flames as intense as those of the Seven Legendary Primordial Fires."

After keeping the Grand Sun Primordial Flame, Lin Feng summoned his Acalanātha Inferno.

This time he succeeded. Upon coming into contact with the Fire and Ice Fruit, the milky-white flames rapidly chilled to piercing cold air, and slowly extinguished the raging fire.

The freezing air even started to glaciate the wall again, and was about to seal up the hole Lin Feng made.

Lin Feng kept the Acalanātha Inferno and the Fire and Ice Fruit, and leapt through the hole in the ice wall.

The Fire and Ice Fruit burned through the ice wall within a very short amount of time, so Lin Feng's Fences of the Heavens was still intact even after he went through the wall.

After keeping the Fences of the Heavens, Lin Feng realized that, even though there was a now a gaping hole in the ice wall, there was no mana or spiritual energy left on the wall, so the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster's defences triggered no reactions.

It was as if the ice wall already had a hole in the first place.

Lin Feng smiled and put his heart at ease, then continued deeper into the ice fortress.

The Hundred Herbs Grandmaster's cave in the heart of Changchun Peak was immense, with layers of fortified defences shielding the true elixir chamber inside the ice fortress.

Within the ice fortress stood a massive stone house. Lin Feng walked in and realized that it was split into outer and inner halves.

The outer half was empty, with nothing at all.

Lin Feng's nose twitched as it took a whiff of a faint herbal aroma.

The aroma was peculiar, with the fragrance brimming with life and vitality yet hiding an undertone of death.

"What elixir is this?" Lin Feng twitched his eyebrows and walked forward, opening the stone door that led to the inner chamber.

The inner chamber was more than twice the size of the outer half, and unlike the outer half, was filled with a whole array of things.

Exactly fifty huge urns were arranged orderly in rows across the chamber.

The herbal aroma Lin Feng had noticed earlier were drifting out from these fifty urns.

A small stove was set up beneath each urn, each burning with a small green flame.

Lin Feng took out the Heaven and Earth Mirror to check, and realized that the Swelling Earth that the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster had collected were evenly distributed beneath each of the fifty urns.

"Brewing elixirs?" Lin Feng walked forward and lifted the cover of one of the urns.

He looked inside, and a surge of cool air instantly rushed from Lin Feng's feet up to his head.

The urn was filled with a thick black herbal concoction that bubbled from time to time.

And inside the black herbal concoction, there was a four or five-year-old boy being boiled!

"What the f*ck!" Lin Feng almost toppled the huge urn as he shot out his leg in shock. "Does the Xianxia World also dabble in biochemical weapons?"

Upon closer inspection, Lin Feng realized that he got it wrong.

The Hundred Herbs Grandmaster was even more psychotic and ruthless than he had imagined.

Inside the boy's body, was a small illusory elixir crucible held together by herbal spiritual energy. And in this virtual crucible, floated an equally illusory elixir pill formed also from spiritual energy.

At first, Lin Feng thought that this was the supposed Mortal Spiritual Elixir. But then he realized that it was not the case.

Because the pill gave off a faint underlying scent of immortal gold that transcended life and death.

In other words, there were Aurous Cores that resembled cultivators in the Aurous Core stage.

"How is it possible to form the Aurous Core at such a young age?" Lin Feng shook his head and tried to calm down. "His Aura Sea hasn't even opened, his Spiritual Altar hasn't been established, and although the spiritual energy in his body is more than ample, it's all forced in externally. He can't even be considered as a true cultivator."

"But there's a crucible in the body, and a growing Aurous Core inside. This is really strange."

Lin Feng carefully used his own mana to investigate the illusory elixir, and promptly realized that despite bearing the scent of an Aurous Core cultivator, the overwhelming herbal aroma would make it less of an Aurous Core and more of an elixir.

"I get it now. The supposed Mortal Spiritual Elixir is not the single pill, but the boy's entire body." Lin Feng's face went blank, and he stared at it with cold eyes. "This child is the damned Mortal Spiritual Elixir."

"It's not just the medium to craft the elixir in, but it's also the elixir itself."

Lin Feng exhaled a long breath of impure aura and sneered, "Hundred Herbs Grandmaster, you certainly have impressive ideas, but it would be preposterous for me to just let you have your way."

Chapter 159: The Mortal Spiritual Elixir

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: - -

After thoroughly examining the body condition of the little boy in the urn, Lin Feng fully understood the true elements behind the Mortal Spiritual Elixir.

The crucible within the boy differed greatly from that of the proper crucible cultivated in the later stages of the Foundation Establishment stage. It was only considered a "bogus crucible".

The core precipitated from this bogus crucible was naturally not the authentic one, but rather just a bogus core.

This Mortal Spiritual Elixir was capable of helping the cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage increase his probability of forming the core and even help the cultivator of Aurous Core stage to boost the quality of the aurous core created.

The principle behind this was actually similar to the method used by Xiao Budian's brother when he stole Xiao Budian's supreme spiritual crucible.

After the bogus crucible within the little boy's body had consolidated, the little boy would be handed over to cultivators that need the crucible. A secret spell would be used to strip off the bogus crucible and core from the little boy's body.

Such cultivators could be stuck in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage, unable to consolidate the crucible to enter the later stages of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After obtaining the bogus crucible from the little boy's body, the cultivator would be able to utilize it as a frame for the perfusion of his own mana, eventually cultivating out a genuine crucible.

Following that, the aurous core would be consolidated using the same method, as the cultivator tapped on the bogus core. This continued until the cultivator was promoted to the Aurous Core Stage.

Due to special chemical components within this bogus core, it discreetly contained both the spiritual elements of life and death. Not only did it provide spiritual energy, it further helped the cultivator to overcome the barriers of death, which was the most important aspect of it.

Some of the cultivators in the later stages of the Foundation Establishment Stage who were still unable to form the core also used the same method, except for the fact that they did not require the bogus crucible, as the bogus core sufficed.

The cultivator during the Aurous Core Stage forced the bogus core and crucible into his own body, using the crucible as a foundation and the powerful spiritual energy of the core as nourishment. This allowed him to disguise himself and obtain another opportunity to form the aurous core.

Just like how a furnace can reform materials, if it was successfully molded, the quality of the aurous core may be pushed up another grade.

Lin Feng only needed to question a little deeper before he discovered that there was an inherent flaw.

This method helped the cultivator in the Aurous Core Stage increase the quality of the aurous core, but it could only be used to promote a fourth-grade yellow core to a third-grade jade core.

If the jade core was to be further promoted, the success rate would be too close to zero. If this method was used to help cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage to form the core, the core successfully formed it would only be the level of a yellow core – the lowest grade of a aurous core, as it opportunistically borrowed the power of a mere bogus core.

Generally speaking, the better the core, the stronger the body immunity. After using this Mortal Spiritual Elixir once, there would no longer be any effect in the future.

Therefore, up to a certain extent, the Mortal Spiritual Elixir's effect on the cultivator in the middle stages of the Foundation Establishment Stage was the most obvious. Observing the strength of the power of the bogus crucible before improving its quality could possibly result in a top-grade Class 3 crucible.

Even without a bogus core, the possession of a top-grade Class 3 crucible would advance one to the Aurous Core stage.

When the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster first created this secret manual, he wanted to trace back from the formation of the core – from the aurous core to the crucible to the spiritual altar. This allowed him to discover a top-grade Class 3 Spiritual Altar, and more amazingly, the method to attain the Supreme Spiritual Altar.

But after deducing this step for the crucible, the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster was unable to continue.

Through improvement and perfection of the process, the Mortal Spiritual Elixir was eventually formed in this way.

"Although there is such a flaw, this core will still be extremely sought-after," Lin Feng sighed as he said.

The path to the aurous core was fraught with life and death situations. In such a huge world, it could be said that this was one of the obstacles to the hundreds and thousands of cultivators.

Venturing into this path was a long process, but it would be worth the wait. Even if only the yellow core was formed and no more improvements could be made, the cultivator could still obtain a thousand years of longevity and unbridled joy.

But if one was unable to venture across this path, the physical health of the cultivator would deteriorate sharply and the cultivator would become old and sallow before 200 years had even passed. Eventually, they would all be reduced into a clump of yellow soil.

On hindsight, the difference in fate was extremely stark.

While for cultivators who had already successfully entered the Aurous Core stage, whether the core formed was yellow or jade also represented a similar huge difference.

Just by sparring with others, a cultivator who had formed the jade core would easily destroy his opponent who only possessed the yellow core.

This was not to even mention the ability to enter the Aurous Core stage. For a clan, its fighting prowess would immediately improve by a bound just by having a few cultivators that had formed the yellow core to advance to the jade core. If the entire clan was able to enter the Aurous Core stage, that would represent a whole new level on its own, and the prowess of the entire clan would improve leap and bounds.

"It's just that…" Lin Feng used his psychic sense to scan through all 50 big urns, before making a shocking discovery that close to 30 young children in the urns had their bogus crucible and core crushed already.

This situation should have occurred naturally. In other words, this was the natural destruction incurred during the process of forming the core.

It could also be due to the inability of the young children's body to cope with the intensity of the concoction or the instability of the bogus crucible and core. Ludicrously, it might even be possible that it was a mistake made by the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster. At this point, any reason could be possible.

But as Lin Feng saw this scene, his expression became more solemn. At times, the concoction in the urns would be boiled dry. When the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster came each time to change the concoction, he would eliminate the young children who had failed.

In other words, the 30 young children that Lin Feng witnessed to have failed were all the result of the change in concoction by the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster, which led to the crushing of the bogus crucible and core.

Lin Feng observed for a moment, before discovering that the concoction was used up at an alarming rate.

In just a short span of time, 3/5 of the young children had already been eliminated.

Every time the concoction was changed, there would be a batch of children who were eliminated, causing such a high elimination rate. Just for the 20 young children who were about to succeed, how many children had failed and been eliminated already?

For the children that had been eliminated, what were their fates?

Lin Feng breathed in deeply and calmed himself down. He felt something and was sure that these urns were closely linked to the mind of the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster. Be it saving people or retrieving the Swelling Earth, the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster would definitely be alerted.

The regulations on the powers here were different from that of the ice city outside. The process of forming the Mortal Spiritual Elixir strengthened the linkage between the cultivators of the Hundred Herbs Sect. Lin Feng dared not use the Fences of the Heavens for fear of unnecessary risks.

"Huh?" Lin Feng squirmed a little, before hiding himself.

The stone house quietened down. The concoction in the urns started to foam, and it was followed by the sound of an explosion.

Lin Feng hid himself in a corner. He did not look in the direction of the entrance, but was looking at a corner of the stone house, staring at the wall there.

A moment later, a protrusion slowly appeared on the greyish-green wall.

The protrusion was only the size of a grain of sand. If a normal person were to focus his gaze on it, he might not even be able to spot the difference.

But Lin Feng's vision was fixated on the small grain that had suddenly appeared on the wall.

Gradually, something light golden squeezed out from the greyish-green stone wall, which made it extremely obvious to see.

There was a light golden gravel. The gravel emanated a light golden radiance, which intensified over time.

At last, the place was cast in a sheet of gold. In the golden radiance, the surface area of the gravel gradually increased to cover a ten feet radius. Concurrently, the gravel became transparent, revealing the shadows of two people within it.

The golden radiance gradually faded as the huge gravel disappeared. Two people descended onto the ground, carrying a serious expression while facing the big urn. One of them was a young lady in a fiery red dress. Her hair and eyes were red and her eyebrows were thinly shaved. She could be positively identified as Yue Hongyan, the cultivator from the Covenant of Liefeng present that day at the Great Swamps of the Ancient Region.

This young lady in the red dress looked to be in a gloomy mood and she seemed to carry an aura of resentment and fury that she was trying to suppress. She was like a fiery volcano that could blow at any time.

Standing beside her was a young man clad in a white dress. That man was lean and handsome. It was indeed Kang Nanhua.

Kang Nanhua exuded a rosy complexion and his breath was very calm. He had already fully recovered and was no longer the sickly guy at the Great Swamps of the Ancient Regions.

However, there was a dark and gloomy aura between his brows, which left Lin Feng perplexed. Lin Feng recalled that Kang Nanhua was always a steady person even if his expression was pale, perspired profusely and was unable to even stand straight. But the present Kang Nanhua had a powerful and complete spiritual presence, which was much greater than the days in the Great Swamps of the Ancient Region. The only thing was that he was not as lively as before. He appeared to have become an old man void of emotion and desire in his life.

While meeting with an old acquaintance was a joyous occasion, Lin Feng did not reveal himself to the two people who had appeared.

Peering at these two people, Lin Feng frowned slightly while saying: "Did something bad occur at the Covenant of Liefeng such that both of them were wearing the same gloomy expression?"

"And then…why are they here?"

Yue Hongyan walked towards the big urns in the stone house that were lined straightly and proceeded to open the lid. After clearly seeing what was inside the urns, Yue Hongyan was enraged until she trembled uncontrollably: "The Hundred Herbs Sect is really too much for committing something as atrocious as this!"

Kang Nanhua shifted his attention and scanned the stone house, "We were obstructed by the ice wall outside the other time and were not daring enough to enter. This time around, there was a big hole in the ice wall, which was evidently caused by someone. The Hundred Herbs Grandmaster did not react to this. This method of breaking open the ice wall was a genius move."

"He could still be here," Yue Hongyan opened the lid of every big urn, before exclaiming excitedly halfway through: " Xiao Huanzi is fine! Mr Kang, Xiao Huanzi is fine!"

The gloomy aura between Kang Nanhua's brows slightly dissipated upon hearing that.

To find the missing Xiao Huanzi, they found their way to Changchun Peak and captured a cultivator of the Aurous Core Stage at Changchun Peak for insider information.

Eventually, this cultivator who was captured happened to be one of the beneficiaries of the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster's the first batch of the Mortal Spiritual Elixir. He was also one of the few people that knew about it in Changchun Peak.

Under Kang Nanhua's interrogation, this cultivator revealed information about the Hundred Herbs' Grandmaster secret elixir chamber. Kang Nanhua used an exotic treasure that could manipulate time and space to come to the cave in the mountains.

All the other warnings were heeded by Kang Nanhua, except for the fact that if violent destruction was inflicted on the ice city the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster would be sure to be alarmed and the efforts of the two of them would be in vain.

Today, they continued to explore. When they suddenly discovered that there was a hole cut opened on the ice wall. They immediately hurried in.

As opposed to Yue Hongyan's excitement, Kang Nanhua was much calmer, "It was good that everything was fine, but I am just worried that rescuing him out would still be. These urns are linked to the mind of the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster. Just a slight movement would be felt by the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster."

Yue Hongyan tightly shut her lips and her fingers gripped tightly on the opening of the urn.

Chapter 160: Coincidentally, I lack a charioteer!

Translator: Sparrow_ Editor: Sparrow_

As Yue Hongyan looked at the little kid in the urn, she furiously exclaimed, "It was not easy to get here, but still we are unable to find Xiao Huan Zi…"

Kang Nanhua sighed, "The time is not ripe. By blindly alerting others through our actions will not help us to save Xiao Huanzi."

Yue Hongyan closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she reopened her eyes, her gaze looked much calmer and determined. She said, "I understand, Mr Kang. We have already disseminated the news and when outsiders hear of it, we will have our chance.

Lin Feng, who was hiding in the corner, slightly nodded in agreement. He had previously suspected someone from the world who had learnt of news regarding the Mortal Spiritual Elixir before leaking it out. He just did not think that it was from someone he knew for a long time.

Kang Nan Hua and Yue Hongyan exited the stone house together while Lin Feng surreptitiously followed the two of them out.

"Rise!" Kang Nanhua whipped out a silver shuttle and began conducting a ritual. The silver shuttle was converted to a streak of white light in a split moment, which looped around both Kang Nanhua and Yue Hongyan before transporting them into space.

Although it was just a Celestial Space flying shuttle, it was a Magic Item from the Aurous Core Stage in the Grand Celestial World. It could enhance short-distance space travel.

Looking back at the countless big urns in the stone house, Lin Feng pondered for a moment. He exited the ice city and combined both the Fire and Ice Fruit and the Grand Sun Primordial Flame to rapidly create cold air to mend the big hole in the ice wall.

After finishing all these, Lin Feng retrieved the Black Cloud Flag and left the secret elixir chamber.

Lin Feng did not rush forward to meet with Kang Nanhua and Yue Hongyan as he had some thoughts that he could not rationalize and needed to think everything through first.

After leaving Changchun Peak and reaching the mountains, Lin Feng pondered carefully over everything. As he was deep in thought, he suddenly felt a wave of demonic aura appearing in the vicinity.

Lin Feng lifted his eyes to survey his surroundings and saw the shadow of something huge appearing at the peak of the mountain while peering over in the direction of Changchun Peak.

The person was taller than ten feet and his body was burly. He looked extremely ferocious and his forehead was engraved with the word 'King' (王) in a light golden color.

What was more intriguing was that the exposed skin from head to toe of this person was shining in a golden radiance.

The movement of his breath carried along an obvious demonic aura and he possessed the mana of a cultivator not from the human clan.

"This person is of the tiger demonic clan from head to toe." Lin Feng thought in his head as his eyes surveyed the person.

The Gengjin Tiger Tribe was the blood descendant of an Immemorial Demon and inherited the ancestor's heavenly gifts of controlling the metals, possessing impenetrable skin and bones, golden teeth and metal claws. No weapon could penetrate their bodies and no mantra could injure them. They were the most combative demonic tribe.

The leader of the Gengjin Tiger Tribe, the Gengjin Tiger King, was notorious in the demonic world and could be considered an infamous Demonic Lord and one who had a reputation amongst the Demonic Lord.

Just like the Fire Crow Tribe, the Gengjin Tiger Tribe's habitat was also a connecting path to the vast lands of the demonic world and the entrance was located not far off from the south of the Hengduan Mountains.

Lin Feng looked at this tiger demon and thought, "It seems like the batch of Mortal Spiritual Elixir that the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster cultivated for so long have attracted the attention of many powerful people."

Just like a cultivator of human origin who wanted to form an Aurous Core, for a demon to be promoted to a Demonic Commander, it would also have to form a demonic pill. Although it was slightly different, the huge amount of spiritual energy contained inside a bogus crucible and core was also a huge benefit to the demonic clan.

Lin Feng suddenly recalled some rumors that claimed, "It is said that the Gengjin Tiger King is the nemesis of the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster?"

Come to think about it, the methods of the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster was mainly to control herbs and cultivate deadly poison to injure his enemies. Whereas for the Gengjin Tiger King, his demonic body was too strong such that it was unafraid of deadly poison. The Jinxiang aura was also deadly and was definitely the jinx of the wooden elements.

In the 5 elements, gold is the jinx of wood and was not just based on small talk.

This tiger demon looked over at Changchun Peak, muttering to himself, "That Mortal Spiritual Elixir really had such a strong effectiveness?"

"Most definitely so."

Lin Feng suddenly revealed himself while claiming so.

"Who is that?" If it not were for the fact that Lin Feng had opened his mouth, the tiger demon did not even realize that someone was closing in on him. Upon realizing this, the tiger demon was shocked and retreated 2 steps backwards and curled his body while looking at Lin Feng, ready to attack him.

As Lin Feng faced the tiger demon, he concurrently felt a wave of killing intent approaching him. He was facing a ferocious beast who was ready to devour someone.

"There was already a cultivator from the Hundred Herbs Sect who increased the quality of the Aurous Core from yellow core to jade core after consuming the Mortal Spiritual Elixir."

With regards to the fact that the tiger demon could attack anytime, Lin Feng seemed to ignore it and was only interested in introducing the real effects of the Mortal Spiritual Elixir.

Seeing that Lin Feng had no ill intentions, the tiger demon became less tense, although he remained in an alert stance.

On the contrary, even though the killing intent given out by the tiger demon was intense, Lin Feng exuded a sense of self-control and calmness.

The tiger demon stared at Lin Feng, gradually saying, "If this Mortal Spiritual Elixir is so powerful as described, the sects and tribes in the human clan are not tempted by it? Why do they allow the elixir to be held by the Hundred Herbs Sect, which is only a medium-grade sect?"

"Moreover, if this elixir really has such a magical effect, the Hundred Herbs Sect will have risen in ranks already. In the human clan, apart from the 3 Grand Sages, the other sects, including the Hundred Herbs Sect, can be taken upon lightly."

Even though the features of the tiger demon looked ferocious, the way the tiger demon looked and spoke was calm and logical. The tiger demon analyzed the benefits and disadvantages clearly and carefully.

Lin Feng grinned, patiently saying, "There are 2 reasons that limited the value of the Mortal Spiritual Elixir. First is that its effect has its limit and second is that the rate of successfully forming it is extremely low."

He introduced with detail the elements and inherent flaws of the Mortal Spiritual Elixir.

After the tiger demon heard it, his gaze shifted uncontrollably, revealing that his disturbed mind.

For the cultivators of the human clan, the Mortal Spiritual Elixir was of paramount importance. But for the demonic clan, the value was not that great, although it was still a relatively important resource for them.

Moreover, if the Hundred Herbs Sect used the Mortal Spiritual Elixir to strengthen itself, it would not be a good thing for the Gengjin Tiger Tribe.

One for and one against, as the reasons piled up, there was huge difference in the potential outcomes.

The tiger demon made up his mind in an instant. The intelligence must be reported to the sect and the Gengjin Tiger King would make the decision.

But as he stared longer at Lin Feng, he became more suspicious and dangerous. He asked Lin Feng, "Who are you exactly? How do you know so much?"

Lin Feng laughed, "You do not have to know who I am."

The tiger demon squinted his eyes and the killing intent became more intense. However, he did not rush to make a move as he did not understand the true capabilities of Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked at the behavior of the tiger demon and knew that he wanted to bring him back to his tribe for further interrogation.

Although the demonic aura of this tiger demon was ferocious, it was easy for Lin Feng to take care of him and hence he was not fearful of him. If not for the fact that he need the tiger demon to report the news back to his tribe, Lin Feng would not have mind getting himself a blanket made from tiger skin after killing the tiger demon.

Just as the tiger demon hesitated to make a move, there was a thunderous noise coming from the sky from a distance

"Relish the sound!"

Hearing this familiar Thunder Draco Horse screeching voice, Lin Feng creased his brows and said, "Not this person again? Better not spoil my plans."

As lightning struck, four Thunder Draco Horse dragging a massive chariot emerged rapidly from the sky.

In the car, there was a guy called Hong Ye, who had long, white hair and was decked in a black dress. Even so, his way of attracting attention was a mess.

He suavely looked at tiger demon and Lin Feng, before swaying his sleeves and telling Lin Feng, "Not a streak of cultivation within your body, but you had the courage to stand in front of a tiger Demonic Commander. Not bad, you are not bad."

"Huh?" Lin Feng was stunned and looked at Hong Ye with a shocked look.

The white hair of Hong Ye was blown up by the slight wind and he looked at Lin Feng, nodding his head and saying, "Even though you possess no cultivation, you looked big and strong and possess a gift. Since meeting you was fate, let me give you some good fortune."

"Follow me first, I would pass to you a mantra. How much you could comprehend would depend on your intelligence. If you had the characteristics to cultivate quickly, you could follow me in the future. My Azure Thunder Chariot lacks a charioteer."

Lin Feng, "……"

Hong Ye half-squinted his eyes and the corner of his lips showed a charming laughing intent. He stared at Lin Feng and said, " A good man has ambitions. I will also not try to keep you with me. If you have the intelligence and succeed in cultivating the mantra, I will guarantee you a way forward in the future."

Feeling the strong domineering attitude coming from Hong Ye, the stoned Lin Feng regained his awareness.

Lin Feng's lips twitched as he looked at Hong Ye who was feeling good about himself.

"Little friend, did your parents not teach you not to be over-domineering. That will only backfire on yourself instead of hurting the enemy."

Previously, the young fellow was filled with hatred towards Lin Feng and repeatedly spouted vulgarities, but now he appeared submissive and courteous before him. Lin Feng grinned and was ready to unceremoniously teach him a lesson how to be a proper person.

Who knew that at this point, the Azure Thunder Chariot resonated the voice of girl, "Hubby, that big cat is so beautiful!"

A charming and cute looking young lady sprawled beside the chariot and her big, sparkling eyes was admiring the Gengjin Tiger Demon that was on the ground.

Hong Ye heard the voice and momentarily left Lin Feng at the back of his head, smiling and saying, "Xiao Man you like it? If you like it, I can catch it for you."

The young lady who was called Xiao Man, laughed while hugging Hong Ye's arm, exclaiming, "I knew you were the best."

Hong Ye excitedly said, "Is there any reward for me?"

"Hmph!" Xiao Man slightly creased her small nose, hesitated for awhile, before shyly and timidly pecking Hong Ye on the lips, sarcastically saying, "Big baddie, are you satisfied now?"

Hong Ye laughed for a moment and was satisfied.

The Gengjin Tiger Demon who witnessed this scene was furious and sprinted towards Hong Ye without even giving consideration to the fact that he was at the doorstep of the Hundred Herbs Sect.

Hong Ye smirked and fought with the Gengjin Tiger Demon with his skills.

Lin Feng was left alone at one corner while speechlessly watching the scene in front of him unfold.

"Weird…definitely weird!"

A good part of the time passed before Lin Feng regained his awareness and decisively whipped out his Talent Analysis Device to analyze Hong Ye.

After clearly seeing the numbers, Lin Feng was stunned. A while had passed before his face showed a weird expression, laughing at both the Gengjin Tiger Demon and Hong Ye, who was fighting enthusiastically.

"Haha, are you building a harem? I wish that your penis will become sharper and the harem that you conquer will grow bigger and bigger!" Lin Feng said sarcastically, "Young man, you are too young and simple-minded! "
