Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 976: Chapter 1000: Passing Power to Chu Linfeng

The strength of a late-stage Golden Immortal is quite respectable. If I were to face such a powerful opponent now, I wouldn’t even know how I died. It’s fortunate this person didn’t decide to kill me, Lin Feng thought to himself.

"You must have just ascended, right? To have the strength of the Earth Immortal Realm just after ascending, you are a rare genius indeed. Meeting you is a lucky encounter for an old man like me. I hope you can avenge me by killing the Hanjiang City Lord," the elder continued.

Lin Feng looked at the other person in shock, and it took him a while to speak, "How did you figure out I just ascended? And what is the power level of this Hanjiang City Lord? At my current realm, I can’t possibly deal with him, so I can’t agree to your conditions."

"Don’t underestimate yourself. I believe you will one day become an overlord who reigns over one part of the world. To have the Earth Immortal’s strength right after ascending is something I’ve never encountered. I know you’re curious how I discerned your strength. Although the way you suppressed your power is uncommon, I recognize it because it is an ultimate technique of my Wu Family. I’m curious as to where you learned it.

Supposedly, this technique was only passed down by my ancestors to the Xuanyuan Emperor Palace’s Palace Master because they saved my ancestors. Could it be you’re from the Xuanyuan Emperor Palace? That’s simply impossible," the elder said, looking at Lin Feng with confusion.

"Now that you mention it, I guess the Mine Master also saw through my strength, which is why he let me enter this mine? The technique was indeed passed down to me by someone from Xuanyuan Emperor Palace, but I’m not at liberty to reveal who it was. I hope you can understand," Lin Feng replied, feeling a bit sympathetic toward this strange elder.

In this world of the strong preying on the weak, it’s all about benefits. "What does this Mine Master look like? Is he a chubby middle-aged man?" the elder asked urgently.

"That’s correct. Do you know him?" Lin Feng asked, clearly shocked and eager for an answer.

"He should be my brother. Now that he’s become the Cold River Mine’s owner, he might also have been deceived by the Hanjiang City Lord. My current situation must be unknown to him. He probably thinks I’m in seclusion. I hope he doesn’t find out about me; otherwise, given his nature, he’ll definitely turn Hanjiang City upside down," the elder said.

Lin Feng didn’t say much and quietly contemplated for a while before saying, "Elder, you want me to avenge you, but with my current strength, I am no match for the Hanjiang City Lord. I’m afraid I can’t fulfill your wish, and you can’t blame me for that."

"Boy, I’ve been observing you since you came in. You’re a person of courage and strategy, and I trust my eyes. Although you are currently only at the Earth Immortal level, I can help you break through to the late-stage Celestial Immortal level. However, you must promise to avenge me one day, or I will die with lingering regret," the elder suddenly said very seriously.

"Late-stage Celestial Immortal level? How is that possible?" Lin Feng looked at the elder with astonishment. To suddenly enhance one’s power to such an extent was simply heaven-defying.

"My time is limited, and even if you hadn’t entered this mine, I would only have lived for another year or two at most. The poison of Yama Powder is too potent for me to suppress. Every full moon night is a time worse than death for me. There’s only two days until the next full moon; I don’t want to experience that pain again," the elder said.

Lin Feng mused that his Ancestral Dragon Bloodline might save him. After awakening, its detoxification capability should be extraordinary. However, he was still wary of the elder’s intentions, fearing he might be deceiving him.

"Is there any way to counteract the Yama Powder’s poison, like a miracle elixir?" Lin Feng asked.

"The Yama Powder is one of the top three poisons in the Immortal Realm, and it is virtually incurable. Only the blood of a Divine Dragon can temporarily alleviate the poison. To completely neutralize it, only the return of an Ancestral Dragon could do so—an impossibility. I’ve already seen through it. Meeting you today might be a special favor from the heavens. I hope you can fulfill my wish. Shortly, I will use a secret technique from the Immortal Realm to transfer my entire Immortal Spirit Power into you. You only need to convert this Immortal Spirit Power into your power, and you can break through the realm," the elder said.

"This doesn’t seem right. We’ve only just met, and you’re generously offering me your Immortal Spirit Power. I can’t accept that. Elder, please let this matter rest," Lin Feng hurriedly said. At this point, he didn’t reveal his Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, though it could save the elder.

Lin Feng wouldn’t act rashly. Who knows what might happen if he helped the elder? If the elder turned on him afterward, it would be a huge mistake. He had several lives tied to his decisions—Ruoxi, Xiao Xiao, Xiaoying, and the Ice and Snow Fairy. Their lives were in his hands; he couldn’t afford the slightest negligence.

"Boy, I know you might misunderstand my previous offer. It was a stopgap measure. I wouldn’t give my late-stage Golden Immortal cultivation to someone useless. Don’t you think? I’ve made up my mind, so don’t argue. I just hope you fulfill my wish," the elder stressed once again.

"Why don’t you let your brother fulfill this wish for you? Why come to me? Although I want to help, I simply can’t do it. Elder, stop being so stubborn," Lin Feng said. Though he longed for a late-stage Celestial Immortal realm, he couldn’t accept such an unearned blessing, especially one whose truth was uncertain.

"That’s not up to you. Boy, get ready to receive my Immortal Spirit Power! Hahahaha," the elder suddenly laughed manically, as if losing his mind.

Lin Feng sensed something was wrong. The old man seemed ready to do something unusual, as the hair covering his face was tossed back, revealing a face like one from the Netherworld Ghost Race. The muscles on his face continuously twitched, as if circulating the Immortal Spirit Power within.

Lin Feng realized the elder might be telling the truth. Just as he was about to flee, he found himself unable to move, trapped by the elder’s Space Domain. He panicked, realizing the elder had tricked him into lowering his guard, and now it was too late.

As Lin Feng prepared to shout and curse, the elder suddenly appeared in front of him, placing his withered hand directly on Lin Feng’s head. A powerful force descended from above...
