Chapter 1926: Chapter 1927: Linghu Family
One hour!
Two hours!
Three hours!
Finally, in Ling Feng’s Sea of Consciousness, a clearly visible Divine Sword emerged, seemingly ready to cut through the heavens and shatter the universe.
Then, Ling Feng’s figure gradually became ethereal, disappearing from the hall in the blink of an eye.
"What!"
"How is this possible!"
Incredulous stares fixed on the spot where Ling Feng had been sitting, mouths agape in disbelief.
Could this young prodigy really have broken through the Sixth Realm Boundary?
How is this possible?
It has only been three short hours!
Xiao Juanyun also sighed lightly.
He had suspected Ling Feng could break through, but achieving in three hours what would take him three days, or even thirty days, was a tremendous shock!
"Brother Ling, oh Brother Ling, knowing you is truly a double-edged sword!"
Xiao Juanyun shook his head with a bitter smile; he thought himself quite the genius, yet upon meeting Ling Feng, he reckoned he might just withdraw into himself.
Sometimes, the gap between people is even greater than the gap between people and dogs.
...
Entering the seventh floor of the Shenxiao Hall.
On this floor, the number of people diminished even more, sparsely scattered, just around a dozen.
Moreover, almost all of them were Heavenly Destiny Realm Ninth Layers, radiating immensely powerful Sword Intent fluctuations.
Uniformly, Sword Intent Perfection!
Moreover, their Sword Force was all above the Small Perfection Level.
What’s more, Ling Feng even sensed the aura of the Sword Domain in several people.
These are truly the powerhouses of the West Sword Domain!
Ling Feng even believed that those comprehending the Sword Domain would not falter, even against those Three Quasi-Saints of the East Spirit Immortal Pond, or might even best them.
The appearance of Ling Feng took these mostly silver-haired, the youngest being in their fifties or sixties old martial artists by surprise.
It had been ages since anyone had moved from the Sixth Level into the Seventh Level space, let alone a youth like him.
This Shenxiao Hall is not only an excellent place for breakthroughs; it’s also a treasure land for cultivation.
The Futu Murals contain various secret technique engravings of attribute rules; comprehending these may not directly enhance cultivation, but unquestionably elevates understanding of attribute rules.
Therefore, even if unable to break through, many choose to reside a long time within Shenxiao Hall, purely to comprehend those attribute rule engravings.
On this floor, it’s not unusual for some to have stayed here for several years.
Ling Feng paid no mind to these old fellows, instead focusing on the surrounding Futu Murals.
Strangely, the walls of the Seventh Layer space bore no special markings, only pure chaos.
Yet within that chaos, there seemed to be a myriad of profound and marvelous things.
Ling Feng did not delve into them, instead preparing to continue breaking the boundaries.
In the blink of an eye, a day passed.
Ling Feng’s form began to fade, disappearing finally, successfully entering the Eighth Layer space.
Similarly, this left the martial artists of the Seventh Floor in endless awe.
Entering the Eighth Layer of Shenxiao Hall.
Within this Eighth Layer, only three were present, strictly speaking, three old codgers!
One sat motionless, intently gazing at a spot on the chaotic wall, almost like a statue.
Another stood with hands behind, slowly pacing before a wall, his gaze never leaving it, also in contemplation, though his way different from the others.
The third was sitting, but head tilted, glancing left and right with mutterings, speaking unintelligibly.
"Hmm?"
The pacing elder seemingly noticed Ling Feng’s arrival, glancing at him with incredulity, then nodded slightly, saying softly, "Young friend, at such a tender age, able to discern the mystery, breakthrough the Eighth Layer Boundary, rare, indeed rare!"
Ling Feng cupped his fists in salute, modestly saying, "Truly fortunate."
"In the Martial Arts path, there is never talk of luck."
The elder stroked his long beard, laughing amiably, "Since you’ve come to the Eighth Layer, immense opportunity awaits. With your cultivation at the early Emperor Realm, the Eighth Layer Boundary, thinning the layers of barrier, a breakthrough is amply possible. No need to waste effort contemplating the Ninth Layer Boundary."
Saying this, the elder pointed to the statue-like old man, saying softly, "This is Xuanzhen Sword Emperor, who has sat here for thirteen years without any gain."
He then pointed to the muttering elder, continuing, "This is Elder Ultimate, contemplating the Ninth Layer Boundary for seven years now; recently, his mind has unraveled, turned into a madman."
"Uh..."
Ling Feng’s mouth twitched slightly. Achieving entry into the Eighth Layer space, their comprehension and cultivation were doubtlessly outstanding, yet even such potent figures couldn’t break through the Ninth Layer Boundary?
"Hehe, I am Elder Linghu Song of the Linghu Family in Du Yue Heaven Palace. Seeing you, young one, you bear no aura of the nine major families; should not be a disciple of Du Yue Heaven Palace?" the elder probed further.
"Correct."
Ling Feng nodded, answering blandly.
"Hmm, Du Yue Heaven Palace is overly insular; without direct lineage, gaining any valuable resources there is indeed challenging."
The elder pondered, then directly drew out a token, handing it to Ling Feng, "Young friend, meeting within the Eighth Layer Boundary counts as fate. Here’s my Linghu Family token; if interested, join us first, thereafter your status upon entering Du Yue Heaven Palace will naturally be elevated."
"No merit, no reward, senior is too courteous. Besides, I have always been carefree, likely won’t join senior’s family."
Ling Feng wouldn’t lightly accept the token; the old fox here clearly aimed well. If not for his entry into Shenxiao Hall’s Eighth Layer space, this elder may not have given him a second thought.
"Oh?"
Linghu Song hadn’t thought anyone in the West Sword Domain would reject an offer from Du Yue Heaven Palace’s nine major families. Yet this made him regard Ling Feng even higher.
"Ah, indeed."
Linghu Song glanced at Ling Feng, smiling slightly, "Then young friend may ponder independently; I am preparing to depart. If facing troubles in future, do seek me at the Linghu Family."
"Certainly, certainly! Junior expresses gratitude to senior in advance."
Ling Feng grinned and chuckled, believing in the saying no advantage taken equals being a bastard. While refusing to join the Linghu Family, accepting any potential windfall seemed harmless!
