Having just escaped the tiger's den, only to enter the wolf's lair, Lin Feng once again used all his skills.
Fortunately, the existence of the Five Elements Soul Veins allowed his energy to generate itself, endlessly and inexhaustibly.
Otherwise, there was a real possibility of defeat.
The night had already waned.
Outside the forest cabin, the bonfires were bright. In the haze, several tables were also set up.
It was a farewell banquet for Lin Feng and the others.
Ye Lingling, Hu Liena, Dugu Yan.
These three little fangirls of Qian Renxue and Lin Feng, as well as Dugu Bo and Chrysanthemum Douluo.
And another important person—Bibi Dong, had once again joined the ranks of the freeloaders.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Dugu Bo seemed to have a lot to talk about and occupied one table.
The other three of similar age were at another table.
As for Bibi Dong, she sat at the same table as Lin Feng's group of three.
Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan were on either side of Lin Feng.
Bibi Dong was sitting opposite him.
"Xue'er and Ling Yuan, are you still going with Xiao Feng this time?"
Qian Renxue swallowed a mouthful of food.
She asked with some confusion, "What's wrong? Isn't it normal for the three of us to act together?"
Lin Feng looked at Bibi Dong's smiling face and clearly perceived a hint of playfulness in her eyes.
His heart secretly skipped a beat. What kind of mischief is she up to now?
Bibi Dong was seen raising an exquisite wine glass. Whether intentionally or not, a trace of red wine overflowed from the corner of her mouth, slowly sliding down to her delicate collarbone, as if adding a touch of charm.
But the wine disappeared in a flash, as if it had never existed.
Her vermilion lips slowly opened and closed as she said:
"Xiao Feng has now become a Soul King. If it were in the past, it would be fine, but after a soul master enters the Soul King realm, their own polishing and training are extremely important.
Always having a Titled Douluo by his side, it's inevitable that he will lack some pressure.
Of course, I'm not saying that it's bad for Ling Yuan to be by his side. As an important guarantee for his own safety, it is also excellent.
But ultimately, some solitary training is needed. Although Nana is the first choice for a Saintess and is being cultivated as such, she still needs to enter the Death Canyon. Only after successfully coming out can she obtain this status.
Can you understand what I mean?"
Understand? I understand all too well. you just want to send them all away so you can monopolize me...
Lin Feng put a hand to his forehead. He had recently discovered that Bibi Dong's desire for control was getting stronger and stronger.
She often compared him with Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan.
Even if he said something like they were evenly matched, it couldn't win her favor.
Qian Renxue was slightly stunned upon hearing this.
After a long while, she still shook her head.
"That won't be necessary. Xiao Feng doesn't need that kind of thing.
Just like how with my aptitude, I could have completely achieved a thousand-year second ring, but grandpa still chose to let me absorb a hundred-year soul ring.
Our growth does not need so much suppression. The world of soul masters is just like that. Some martial souls, when awakened, are already standing at the peak of life.
Some martial souls can't even be cultivated when awakened. And in between, there is also the difference in talent.
Xiao Feng's and our aptitude and martial soul grade go without saying; they are completely at the highest level of the continent.
At the same level, it's impossible for anyone to be our opponent. That kind of solitary training is long outdated."
Bibi Dong's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, as if somewhat surprised by Qian Renxue's answer.
But she still nodded.
"Well said."
She then turned to look at Lin Feng.
"Xiao Feng, you'll be leaving for quite a long time this time.
But you must keep Spirit City in your heart and think of me often."
"Your Holiness is right. Lin Feng will naturally... hiss..."
Lin Feng's expression changed for an instant.
He clearly had not expected Bibi Dong to be so bold.
Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan were still sitting right here.
She actually dared to make such a small move. If not for the fact that her own strength was the strongest here and she could conceal her aura well, there probably would have been a big mess.
"I will..."
He subconsciously glanced at Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan, who were still eating, and seeing that they had not noticed what was happening now, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in his heart.
Taking advantage of the moment the two lowered their heads, Lin Feng quickly sent a signal to Bibi Dong to stop.
How can this be?
Wouldn't all hell break loose if this is exposed?
However, Bibi Dong ignored him.
She propped up her pretty head with one hand, her eyes filled with amusement and rising excitement.
This matter of making small moves right under others' noses made her heart pound wildly.
A sense of shame and an even stronger sense of stimulation constantly touched her heart.
Underneath the table...
Bibi Dong's pair of jade feet had at some point slipped out of her high heels.
Only the crystal-clear, pink, and tender jade feet were left, dangling on Lin Feng's thigh.
Sometimes it would touch Lin Feng's stomach, sometimes it would brush past other parts of Lin Feng's body, stirring the fire in his heart.
"Xiao Feng, how do you like it?"
A voice transmission from Bibi Dong was sent into Lin Feng's ear.
Lin Feng didn't speak, nor did he dare to speak. He just sent a pleading look to Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong blinked her eyes, as if she couldn't understand the meaning in his eyes at all.
She continued her little actions on her own.
Qian Renxue suddenly said:
"Ever since grandpa condensed his first Soul Vein, he has been in seclusion.
I wonder what he has thought of.
Mother... Your Holiness the Pontiff, do you have any thoughts?"
Bibi Dong did not mind Qian Renxue's form of address.
She just said:
"Xiao Feng's Soul Veins are different from others. He can bring a unique comprehension of the laws to a soul master.
Perhaps the Great Tribute has had some special insights. There's no need to disturb him. He might have a breakthrough later."
In fact, Bibi Dong had not expected Qian Daoliu's seclusion this time either.
After Lin Feng had slowly shaped her own, she had actually had some insights herself, but they were not that deep yet.
For Qian Daoliu to be able to directly enter seclusion, he had probably really thought of something.
Although there was only a few levels of soul power difference between a Super Douluo and a Limit Douluo, their strength was worlds apart, and their comprehension of the laws was like heaven and earth.
It had been who knows how many years since Qian Daoliu had advanced to a Limit Douluo.
It was only because of the divine trial that his strength was forever suppressed at level 99.
The rules from the god's inheritance had made Qian Daoliu lose the possibility of further progress.
Under these circumstances, the only way was to have a deeper comprehension of the laws, a more profound use of soul power and soul skills.
The Soul Veins, without a doubt, had this effect.
After years of accumulation, he himself possessed superb skills and a unique understanding of the use of soul power.
It was like the last stone thrown into the glass bottle by the crow drinking water, the last piece of a complete puzzle.
Like a sudden enlightenment, this feeling came cleverly.
Of course, this was also what Bibi Dong wanted to see.
Now that Qian Daoliu had chosen to go into seclusion, he could not observe Lin Feng and the other two at all times.
Then she was, in a practical sense, the strongest person in Spirit Hall.
This was also one of the reasons why she had been able to freely capture Lin Feng and take him to her private chambers these past few months.
Qian Renxue nodded lightly.
She casually stood up.
This made the jade foot under the table quickly return to its high heel.
Bibi Dong's face was as calm as an ancient well, without a trace of panic.
"You three, come over here."
Qian Renxue beckoned and said softly.
Dugu Yan and Hu Liena looked at each other, pulled Ye Lingling along, and walked together to Qian Renxue.
"Sister Xue'er, is there something?"
As Hu Liena spoke, her gaze drifted towards Lin Feng. As her teacher, Lin Feng should have been spending more time with her.
Why was it that in the past few months, it was clearly her teacher, the Pontiff, who had spent more time with him than she had?
She couldn't help but feel a little frustrated in her heart.
You said you found a theory teacher for my own good?
How does it feel like all his time is being occupied by you? Every day it's some Spirit Hall affairs and policy making.
Although Spirit Hall is vast, there's no need to consult Lin Feng on issues every single day, right?
Brother Xiao Feng himself has no intention of succeeding the true identity of the Holy Son.
Teacher, why are you still acting as if you want to cultivate Brother Xiao Feng into a Pontiff who can shoulder heavy responsibilities?
I don't know what you two are discussing every day...
And Brother Xiao Feng, you too.
Can't you spend a little more time with Nana? The so-called theoretical guidance was actually just giving me a book with your knowledge recorded in it.
After condensing the Soul Veins for me, you only taught me simply for a few days and then didn't have much contact.
Although the records in that book are exhaustive, what I want is your personal guidance!
Qian Renxue looked at the trace of resentment in Hu Liena's eyes and couldn't help but smile faintly.
She quickly glanced at the other two little girls.
Seeing that their gazes were also fixed on Lin Feng...
She put a hand to her forehead and shook her head.
"What are you all looking at my Xiao Feng for?
Is there a flower on his face?"
The three little ones, upon hearing this, blushed and lowered their heads.
Hu Liena said softly, "Sister Xue'er, I know Teacher Xiao Feng is also very busy, but..."
She hesitated, the small expectation in her heart turning into a sense of loss.
"Alright, alright.
I didn't call you here to talk about this.
Although your Teacher Xiao Feng is busy, his concern for you has never diminished.
His teaching method may be different from others, but that book of his is the crystallization of his many years of hard work. The knowledge contained within is enough to benefit you for a lifetime."
Lin Feng smiled lightly.
"The master leads you to the door, but cultivation depends on the individual. I have imparted all my knowledge to you.
There is no other difference from you learning this knowledge yourselves.
On the contrary, if you truly have a thirst for knowledge...
Study it carefully.
And come back to ask me about things you don't understand. That kind of growth is the fastest.
I hope that the next time we come back, the questions you have accumulated can make me think hard for a while."
Ye Lingling slowly nodded:
"I will, Brother Feng."
Qian Renxue coughed lightly.
"Lingling, you should call him Brother Xiao Feng in the future.
It's better not to call him Brother Feng."
"Why?"
Ye Lingling was stunned.
A strange blush seemed to appear on Qian Renxue's earlobes.
Could she say that this was her pet name for Xiao Feng? Naturally, she couldn't...
Every time she heard these three words, she would always recall the cry when she was defeated by Lin Feng that night. Not to mention how embarrassing it was.
"I said you're not allowed, so you're not allowed. Lingling, don't ask so many questions!"
"Oh—Lingling understands."
Dugu Yan shook her head. How does it feel like this sister of mine is not very smart?
Is her personality a bit dull, or should I say, a bit cold?
No, I have to get along well with her and correct her.
......
When everyone was leaving, Bibi Dong gave Lin Feng a deep look.
Ling Yuan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Her Holiness the Pontiff seems to have been wearing casual clothes like this when she comes to our place recently. I don't even know where she put her Pontiff robe."
Qian Renxue smiled:
"Isn't this very good? She is able to lower her status and put aside her hope for power in front of us, just to get along with us in an ordinary capacity.
Isn't this what we wanted to see?"
If you knew her true thoughts, you probably wouldn't think so...
Lin Feng sighed slightly.
......
Nuoding City.
Located in Fasinuo Province within the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Situated in a remote border location.
And Holy Spirit Village was even more remote of the remote.
Although he had been here before, Lin Feng still had to admit that the place where Tang San started was really the countryside.
But it also made sense. After all, Tang Hao himself was on the run.
Although the consequence of starting like this was being fooled by the Grandmaster.
According to the original novel, without the Grandmaster, Tang San could still become a god. But without Tang San, the Grandmaster was nothing.
"The village where Tang Hao was before? Xiao Feng, what are we doing here?"
"Have you forgotten?
Why was Tang Hao hunted by our Spirit Hall all those years ago?
Among his soul bones, we still haven't found the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone."
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up:
"Xiao Feng, are you saying that he hid the soul bone here?"
"That's right."
Lin Feng led the way in front.
After the five elements revolved and shaped the Five Elements Soul Veins, his perception and use of the elements of heaven and earth, as well as his degree of control over the laws, had risen to another level.
And at the same time, for the aura fluctuations of the corresponding attributes, he had become even more sensitive.
The Innate Treasure Pearl was sent into his dantian.
His aura suddenly rose to that of a Soul Emperor.
The "five qis" surged in the Innate Treasure Pearl.
He stopped, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, as if all the elements of the entire world were slowly flowing in his perception.
The part of the Five Elements Soul Veins that symbolized the life of the wood attribute...
Began to flash with bursts of brilliance.
"I feel it. It's not far ahead. That unique life force and harmonious resonance with nature is the unique aura of the Blue Silver Emperor."
Lin Feng opened his eyes, a firm light flashing in them, and looked towards the depths of a seemingly ordinary forest ahead.
It was a continuous mountain range, with peaks soaring into the clouds.
And behind this mountain range was Holy Spirit Village.
A rumbling sound boomed.
It was the sound of a huge waterfall.
"Let's go."
With their Soul Veins, they didn't even need to release their martial souls.
Lava transformed into a huge rock, lifting Lin Feng's body.
His earth attribute soul skill...
Itself was gravity control, able to control things with the earth attribute.
When he obtained this soul skill, he could step on rocks and then rely on gravity control to achieve an alternative form of flight.
And after the Five Elements Soul Veins were shaped, this soul skill also underwent a transformation.
In fact, the current Lin Feng could already achieve a short period of autonomous flight, that is, manipulating his own body and changing gravity to achieve flight.
It was just that he was not yet skilled, and the duration was not long.
So the method he often used at this time was still to use rocks to lift his body to achieve flight.
Qian Renxue, on the other hand, summoned the Angel's Wings, and Ling Yuan summoned the Phoenix's Wings.
The three of them, one in front and two behind, headed towards their destination.
At the end of the waterfall... was a huge pool of water.
The pool was azure blue, clear to the bottom. Below was the waterfall, with water pouring down.
In the mountain wall next to the waterfall was a hidden cave.
The cave was hidden within the waterfall.
From the outside, it was impossible to see, but under Lin Feng's perception and Ling Yuan, this Titled Douluo's, spiritual power perception, it could not be hidden.
Ling Yuan relied on spiritual power perception.
And Lin Feng relied on elemental affinity.
"Xiao Feng, inside that waterfall..."
"I see it too. Let's go!"
The three of them came to the center of the waterfall. Lin Feng then pressed on a protruding rock wall behind the rushing waterfall.
That huge piece of rock then sank in.
Revealing the passage inside.
The three of them passed through the waterfall and thus landed in this dark passage.
The passage was pitch black.
Only at the very end was there a bit of brilliance.
But the light was not much.
In such a dark environment, it also seemed fragile.
"A stone chamber?"
Ling Yuan said doubtfully.
"It seems this is the place where that Tang Hao hid the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone. Sister Ling Yuan, just blast it open directly."
"Wait a moment."
Lin Feng called a halt. This place was so close to Holy Spirit Village. It wouldn't be good to make such a loud noise.
The mechanism was right before them, just a matter of lifting a hand.
Lin Feng pressed on a protrusion on the stone wall.
The stone chamber then opened.
Revealing the scenery inside.
In the dim stone chamber, there was only a small hole at the top, letting in light.
Looking at the position of the hole, I'm afraid that only at noon could one get a glimpse of the appearance below.
In the very center of the stone chamber... was a Blue Silver Emperor with golden patterns. Its leaves were drooping listlessly, looking somewhat withered.
And the place where it grew was just an ordinary small mound of earth.
There was nothing else in the entire stone chamber.
No light source, no water source.
No nourishment.
The only thing left was a hole above, which could let in air and bring a little sunlight at noon.
Very desolate.
"This is the Blue Silver Emperor?!!"
Qian Renxue said in shock.
The Qian Renxue of this life was not the same as before.
Having read a large number of books with Lin Feng, she recognized the Blue Silver Emperor before her with almost a single glance.
"That's right. It is precisely the Blue Silver Emperor. And it seems she has also lost her most fundamental origin force."
Ah Yin, this 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor, although undying, would never have thought that she would actually live in such an environment, right?
Lin Feng walked forward.
Suddenly, a soul power restriction blocked his steps.
Lin Feng blinked his eyes and casually took another step.
Ping!
The sound of breaking glass was heard.
The so-called restriction could not stop him at all.
The thing left by Tang Hao himself, without receiving his soul power supplement, was already in tatters.
Although so, because of the connection of their origins, the signal of this broken restriction was still transmitted far away to the heart of Tang Hao in Spirit City.
Tang Hao, who was lying on the ground waiting for death, felt another needle in his heart.
"No! Ah Yin!"
Tang Hao murmured, "Forget it. It doesn't matter anymore. What can I do?
The me of today is just an ordinary person..."
"Spirit Hall..."
...
Lin Feng bent down and looked at this pitiful Blue Silver Emperor.
No sunlight, a damp and dark environment.
A small mound of earth.
And a hole above.
Can such an environment really let Ah Yin recover?
Even if she could recover, I'm afraid it would really have to be after 100,000 years.
"Breath of Life."
