Ling Feng did not offer much explanation to the two girls.
After giving them a reassuring smile, he entered the house.
The two girls, knowing Ling Feng's personality well, did not pursue him with questions, but their hearts were filled with lingering curiosity and surprise.
Soon, Lin Shuai Nan returned.
Inside the house, Ling Feng had already heard the commotion outside.
Qing'er and the other girl had a good relationship with Lin Shuai Nan, who also took good care of them. Moreover, the Myriad Sword Sect now belonged to them.
Lin Shuai Nan did not hide anything from the two girls and directly recounted what had happened.
Of course, Lin Shuai Nan's storytelling style was akin to a traditional storyteller, complete with gestures and dramatic flair. He described his own bravery and did not forget to praise Ling Feng, whom he greatly admired, often boasting about Ling Feng's achievements.
Especially Ling Feng's single strike that directly slew the Myriad Sword Sect's ancestor was narrated by Lin Shuai Nan with immense grandeur.
Ling Feng even doubted if it was truly him who had acted, wondering if a legendary Immortal Emperor had descended.
However, Ling Feng paid no mind to the external commotion and began to consolidate his cultivation, continuing his practical combat training with his two primordial spirits in the Sea of Consciousness.
The battles within were far more exhilarating than the previous encounter with the Myriad Sword Sect's ancestor.
Lin Shuai Nan also put aside his alchemy, seemingly deciding to take a break. He then took the two girls out for hot pot.
Concurrently, reforms began within the Myriad Sword Sect.
Liu Jin and his group led the charge. Left Tong Xin retained his position as Sect Master, which was a relief for him. At this time, he wholeheartedly focused on his duties, not settling scores with Liu Jin and his faction.
If they had clashed, Ling Feng would likely not have let them off the hook.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Ling Feng awoke from his meditative state, his cultivation realm now thoroughly stabilized.
At this moment, Ling Feng also realized why his previous cultivation had so easily progressed to the Tribulation Crossing stage.
It was all related to the Immortal Heavenly Doctor Scroll.
Opening the Immortal Heavenly Doctor Scroll once more, Ling Feng prepared for a new round of challenges.
"Last time I obtained a body-tempering technique. This time? I should have the spell I desire, shouldn't I?"
Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng re-entered his Sea of Consciousness.
The consciousness space materialized. This time, there was no preceding chaotic scene; Ling Feng stood upon the surface of the sea.
Swish, swish, swish…
Waves rolled, and waves of terrifying pressure assaulted Ling Feng.
Ling Feng instinctively tried to levitate, but unexpectedly, the giant waves beneath his feet reacted drastically, surging towards him with ferocity.
"Last time it was drawing down heavenly lightning. Why is it an endless ocean this time?"
Ling Feng was astonished but could not discern any profound meaning. Ling Feng only knew that if he were to die here, it would be a severe blow to him.
At the very least, his primordial spirit would suffer significant damage, not to mention the damage to his state of mind.
"I barely won last time. I thought my cultivation had improved considerably, and this time it would be easier. I didn't expect such immense pressure!"
A flicker of determination flashed in Ling Feng's eyes.
The primordial spirit manifestation behind him instantly appeared, its arms spread wide.
"Hah!"
The towering waves around them were instantly repelled!
However, to Ling Feng's surprise,
The giant waves beneath his feet began to churn, resembling a pair of hands grabbing his feet. Then, with terrifying force, he was dragged downwards into the seawater.
The speed was astonishing.
By the time Ling Feng could react, only his neck remained above the water.
The primordial spirit manifestation behind him had, in that instant, nearly retreated into his body.
"Break!"
Ling Feng roared, his Crimson Flame Dragon Blood boiling, and terrifying flames instantly caused the water surface to boil.
Steam filled the air.
The surrounding giant waves surged forward, only to be scorched away by the flames.
Ling Feng's figure once again stood firm on the water's surface.
But in that moment, Ling Feng's expression turned extremely grim.
"Something bigger is coming. Even if I burn all my dragon blood, I can't maintain this flame indefinitely!"
As Ling Feng made this assessment,
Swish, swish…
Indeed, the surrounding towering waves, almost blocking out the sky, surged towards him.
Seeing that the flames within ten meters of Ling Feng were about to be extinguished,
Ling Feng gritted his teeth, "I'll risk it!"
The flames around his body suddenly retracted. Ling Feng instantly condensed Xuan Bing power, becoming like an ice cone, and pierced through the towering waves.
In just an instant, Ling Feng felt himself moving away from the sea surface once more.
Simultaneously, a ray of divine light struck him.
Ling Feng gasped for breath and looked back, seeing the towering waves gradually disappearing, and the surroundings returning to a state of chaos.
"Did I… get through? So, escaping is enough?"
A wry smile appeared on Ling Feng's lips. He realized he had been unaware of the correct method.
However, Ling Feng quickly regained his composure and looked at the water surface that was disappearing beneath his feet.
"No, it's likely that after raising my form to a certain height, everything can be resolved! This terrifying power gathers quickly and dissipates just as fast. I was fooled this time; they thought I would fight it head-on until the end!"
Ling Feng, now calm, had beads of sweat on his forehead.
This time, it was truly… a close call.
Bathed in the divine light, Ling Feng felt his primordial spirit rapidly transform, and simultaneously, a vast amount of information flooded his mind.
"Nine Heavens Wave Breaking Art? It's a spell! No, it's an Immortal Art! Low-grade Immortal Art!"
Ling Feng's eyes widened. The next moment, he had already exited the consciousness space, but everything in his mind was crystal clear.
He had actually obtained an Immortal Art, and one that could be cultivated at the Tribulation Crossing stage.
With such an Immortal Art, his combat ability would undoubtedly increase significantly!
Ling Feng calmed his somewhat excited emotions and then looked down at the ground.
At this moment, Ling Feng's expression changed drastically.
His feet were covered in Xuan Bing!
"Backlash? Is it the backlash from that power onto myself?"
Ling Feng had not yet figured everything out, but if his feet continued like this, they would truly freeze.
Ling Feng quickly melted the Xuan Bing, and only then did his feet regain their sensation.
"It seems that challenging this space cannot be done lightly; problems can easily arise."
Stabilizing his mindset, Ling Feng also began to cultivate the Nine Heavens Wave Breaking Art.
The description was clear: after completing the cultivation, with a wave of his hand, towering waves could descend from the nine heavens, engulfing everything.
The power would undoubtedly be terrifying.
This was an area-of-effect Immortal Art, with a vast coverage range.
This was no longer comparable to the ability of cultivators to move mountains and fill seas.
This was creating oceans out of thin air!
This was the true Immortal Art.
Of course, Ling Feng knew very well that with his current cultivation, creating a large lake instantly would be quite good. To create an ocean, he would need to at least reach the late or even peak Tribulation Crossing stage.
And just as Ling Feng began to comprehend it, Lin Shuai Nan's footsteps were suddenly heard from outside.
His voice arrived before he did.
"Big Brother, I heard movement inside. Have you finished your seclusion? The Myriad Sword Sect has a problem. Damn it, someone has come to cause trouble, and they have three Tribulation Crossing stage experts. We're having trouble handling them!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Someone's causing trouble? Three Tribulation Crossing stage experts?"
These were unexpected uninvited guests for Ling Feng!
