Chapter 1712: Chapter 920: Enormous (Part 2)
Lin Feng asked Luo Jingtian about their connection to the Desolate Realm and why the assassins under their command were all from the Desolate Realm. Luo Jingtian’s answer was straightforward, directly telling Lin Feng that the Desolate Realm was a secret assassin force cultivated by the Sect Leader. In recent years, both the Sect Leader and they have been moving back and forth between the Six Realms. Lin Feng understood it quite simply; assassins go wherever there are contracts, and with the strength these black-clad assassins display, they can definitely traverse the vast Six Realms.
However, as Lin Feng thought about this, his heart was filled with some doubts.
"Could the person behind the scenes have made such a good move in other realms as well..." This sentence Lin Feng only pondered in his mind, without voicing it.
Later, Lin Feng practiced Shadow Slash and Shadow Blade. For Extreme Dark Current Slash and Thousand Blade Slash, Lin Feng’s current level still couldn’t train them. And for Shadow Slash, the practice was only at a basic level. Although Lin Feng was from the Righteous Path Immortal Sect, he was not so pedantic as to not practice cultivation techniques from other realms, and the Shadow Power did not harm Lin Feng’s mind.
Right now, Lin Feng simply wanted to stay alive; only then could he have hope to restore his abilities.
Lin Feng came to the cliff of "Star Fall Mountain." Standing here against the vast sky, Lin Feng practiced his sword technique. Lin Feng didn’t know what kind of dangers or adversaries he would face next, so the best course of action now was to learn a few more skills that might safeguard his life. Lin Feng was not a person who clung to life and feared death. The reason he did this was because he still needed to find Su Liqian.
Lin Feng must take Su Liqian back to the Giant Wood Clan, returning her to the forest of the clan. As a husband, he was truly inadequate, or else he wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.
After Su Liqian left a letter to the Clan Leader of the Giant Wood Forest, she vanished without a trace. Lin Feng felt there must be some clue within this. After finally finding some clue, Lin Feng traced it all the way to the location of the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect, which was also an Immortal Realm, far more isolated and ethereal than "Star Fall Mountain," a serene place amidst the vast white snow.
Yet it was in such a place that the sect suffered a raid and conspiracy from the black-clad assailants, eventually plunging the entire sect into peril. Initially, it was because of the Court’s breach of faith and the consequent heavy damage suffered alongside the Six Great Sects. Now, the sect was plunged into despair because of the tragic deaths of its new Sect Leader and the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Lin Feng was mistakenly thought to be the murderer and was knocked off the cliff by Cangmu, the Nine Spirit Joints Elder of Taoxuan Heavenly Sect.
Thus all the clues for finding Su Liqian were completely severed. Lin Feng didn’t know why Feng Ling looked so similar to Su Liqian, but now Lin Feng was sure Feng Ling was not the person he was looking for.
Lin Feng practiced Shadow Slash until dawn and then leaned directly against an ancient towering tree at the cliffside, sleeping soundly on the grass beneath the large tree.
Early in the morning, when Feng Ling couldn’t find Lin Feng in his room, she anxiously searched everywhere for him. She first searched through the external courtyard, passing by pavilion and distinctively elegant scenery without finding Lin Feng. Then she went outside, searching along the road until she reached the cliff.
At the top of the cliff, the greenery intertwined around, making people feel enchanted and lost, as the scenery here is particularly unique and elegant, the result of Nature’s craftsmanship, a rare gathering place of celestial treasures within the entire Human Realm. With such a gathering place, it was undoubtedly also an area abundant with spiritual energy, because Lin Feng’s cultivation progressed quickly, in such a rich spiritual energy place, being the ideal site for cultivators.
So Lin Feng’s cultivation progressed very rapidly, as Lin Feng had broken through his first Spirit Knot last night. With the opening of Lin Feng’s first Spirit Knot, Lin Feng’s internal spiritual energy increased, and the Innate Spiritual Seed sensed its owner’s state at the first moment, providing Lin Feng with some energy according to the spiritual energy output needed by the first Spirit Knot.
As Lin Feng received this energy, he felt his strength increase, felt his growth, and after opening the first Spirit Knot, Lin Feng realized he could already use some basic spells and some cultivation techniques from the Emperor Technique. Lin Feng utilized these cultivation techniques appropriately, and everything indicated that Lin Feng’s recovery was going well. Shortly, he could challenge the Second Spirit Knot.
After breaking through the first Spirit Knot, Lin Feng felt particularly fatigued, as his body needed to digest these benefits, so he slept very soundly.
Feng Ling found him at the cliff, seeing him sleeping under the big tree and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Considering Lin Feng’s current level of strength, moving freely on Star Fall Mountain was exceedingly difficult. After all, Star Fall Mountain was not an ordinary place. Outside their barrier were many Demon Beasts, which Lin Feng undoubtedly couldn’t withstand.
The Demon Beasts on Star Fall Mountain were each ferocious, ranging from Third Grade Demon Beasts to Ninth Grade Demon Beasts.
The deeper it went into the mountain, the more advanced the grade of those Demon Beasts and Demon Beasts become, as the high-level Demon Beasts carried powerful inner cores within them. These powerful inner cores were highly beneficial for enhancing a cultivator’s cultivation and strengthening their physique.
Yet Star Fall Mountain was located where ordinary people couldn’t reach, so few have come here over the years, making the Demon Beast population especially numerous.
In other parts of the Human Realm, most Demon Beasts and Demon Beasts were either subdued by cultivators to be kept as pets or slain directly to consume their inner cores for cultivating themselves. Lin Feng, if utilizing this unparalleled environment well, could achieve rapid progress incomparable to any external cultivation sites.
The place had abundant spiritual energy, countless celestial treasures, and rare materials within the Six Realms viewed as precious.
With endless Demon Beasts for sparring, Lin Feng could achieve breakthroughs in his cultivation in extreme time, recovering his former strength.
Feng Ling saw Lin Feng asleep and did not disturb him, merely had someone bring some water and food for him, so that when Lin Feng awoke, he could replenish the energy he needed directly.
When Lin Feng awoke and saw the things beside him, there was a note on the food box, on which Feng Ling had left a message for Lin Feng.
Lin Feng picked it up and read: "Clumsy blockhead, remember to eat. You’re just a mortal now, so learn to proceed progressively."
Lin Feng couldn’t understand why Feng Ling cared for him so much; it seemed not just the Sect Leader’s orders. The Sect Leader merely ordered her to bring him here, but she had been considerately tending to him these two days. Lin Feng thought briefly, the reason being the person in front too much resembled Su Liqian, and often he directly assumed this person was Su Liqian, though upon realizing different aura and demeanor, Lin Feng became clear-headed.
But no matter what, with Feng Ling nearby reminding him, he must find Su Liqian and take her back to the Giant Wood Clan. This would be Lin Feng’s way of redeeming himself, giving the Clan Leader an explanation, and fulfilling his responsibility as a husband.
After eating, Lin Feng took a jug of water and drank it down. Afterward, he entered endless practice once more.
