Chapter 2409 - 2388: A Calamity-Like Phenomenon!
"Ah, there’s... there’s such a thing..." Tao Tao finally understood Lin Feng’s intention after hearing him speak. She truly never thought that such things could exist in the world.
"Boss, why don’t you take that guy as a spirit pet? It can fly, which would be useful for traveling in the future. Besides, it’s a Demon King Level Demon Beast, so taking it out wouldn’t be embarrassing." Tangyuan suggested while roasting meat nearby.
"That Nine Flame Fiery Sun Eagle is so unworthy, and its bloodline is constrained. It will only be a Demon King Realm animal in this life, so it’s not worth keeping." Lin Feng replied to Tangyuan, though he left some thoughts unsaid. He had never encountered the Dragon Clan; if he wanted a spirit pet, it would have to be at least of the Dragon Clan level, otherwise, he’d rather not have one.
"So that’s how it is..." Tangyuan understood Lin Feng’s reasoning. Upon reflection, Tangyuan agreed that Lin Feng was right. If it were someone else, even the Nine Flame Fiery Sun Eagle might not be obtainable, but Lin Feng wasn’t interested in it, let alone that foolish bird, his thinking was indeed very correct.
Lin Feng suddenly remembered something and said to Tao Tao, "Breaking through to the Divine King Realm is something no one can help you with; you must comprehend it yourself. However, I can create some opportunities for you, and whether or not you succeed in perceiving and breaking through depends on you."
"Brother Lin, I understand..." Tao Tao said with some sorrow looking at Lin Feng. She realized this world is fair, and there are no shortcuts. Though she advanced quickly before, reaching the Universe Realm was a bottleneck. No wonder in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, breaking through to Divine King is a watershed, achieved by less than one in ten thousand!
Noticing Tao Tao’s dejection, Lin Feng gently patted her shoulder and said, "To understand Domain Power, I haven’t experienced it and really don’t know how to help you. But from my experience, it’s simply a comprehension of power and Yuan Energy, so you could try starting from that angle."
Lin Feng practiced the method of cultivation through comprehension, differing entirely from most cultivators. Even though he hadn’t experienced Domain Power personally, he could guess the general direction, which was all he could do to help Tao Tao.
"Alright!"
After hearing Lin Feng’s words, Tao Tao responded thoughtfully. She realized her foundation was still too weak, and despite her rapid advancement following Lin Feng, she lacked accumulation. This aspect was something no one could aid with; she had to walk the path herself.
Meanwhile, the meat was cooked, and the two humans and the beast started eating. To their surprise, the meat of the Nine Flame Fiery Sun Eagle was extremely delicious and contained a slight flame essence, making them feel warm and comfortable as they ate, finishing the meat amidst their conversation and laughter.
"Boss, in the future, if more Demon Beasts present themselves, let’s make some more roasted meat. It’s truly delicious." Tangyuan remarked while standing on Lin Feng’s shoulder, smiling at him, licking its paws with a look of lingering enjoyment.
"Alright!"
Seeing Tangyuan’s expression, Lin Feng smiled lightly and then led Tao Tao and Tangyuan in a direction they had chosen earlier with the Nine Flame Fiery Sun Eagle, having already figured out the surrounding situation and selected a suitable place for seclusion.
They didn’t choose to use the Thousand Miles in One Step technique. On the way, Lin Feng shared some of his cultivation experiences with Tao Tao, guiding her understanding, while Tangyuan lay on Lin Feng’s shoulder, asleep without a care.
The next day, Lin Feng and the others arrived at an unnamed valley, a unique place on a not-very-high mountain, with a naturally formed big pit on top, akin to a volcanic crater, filled with trees and some unknown little beasts frolicking around, exuding a sense of tranquility.
Lin Feng was satisfied with the environment, and after asking Tao Tao and Tangyuan to stay in place, he began to set up a Super Spirit Gathering Array. With plenty of Yuan Stones in hand, and being quite far from Xucheng now, he aimed to test a new configuration of the Super Spirit Gathering Array, hoping to accelerate the transformation of his own Yuan Gang as much as possible.
This time, he didn’t just set up a single Super Spirit Gathering Array. Around the valley, he arranged more than a dozen formations, including attack, defense, and maze formations, sparing no expense given the abundance of Yuan Stones.
In a blink, an entire day passed. After setting up all the formations, Lin Feng returned to Tao Tao and Tangyuan.
"Tao Tao, once the formations are activated, cultivate around me until you can no longer absorb Yuan Energy, then move away and observe my cultivation from the periphery. Pay close attention to everything I taught you earlier." Lin Feng instructed Tao Tao seriously.
"Alright, Brother Lin, don’t worry." Tao Tao nodded and responded directly.
"By the way, here’s the core of all the formations here. Use your Divine Sense to infuse it, and you’ll be able to control all the formations. The responsibility of guarding this place will be yours. If you encounter any formidable Demon Beasts you can’t handle, wake me up." Lin Feng added as he handed the core to Tao Tao.
"Sure, Brother Lin!" Tao Tao replied with a smile, actually well aware of her duties without being told; she wanted Lin Feng to grow stronger.
Seeing that he had finished instructing them on these matters, Lin Feng led Tao Tao to the center of the valley. With a thought, the Super Spirit Gathering Array suddenly activated, and a massive tornado shot up into the sky from the center of the valley, almost instantly covering the entire area!
The Yuan Energy in the sky was also affected by the tornado, spiraling upwards. Above the valley, a cloud formation appeared, expanding rapidly at a terrifying speed. In the blink of an eye, it had already spread to tens of miles in diameter, continuing to expand at an alarming rate!
At this moment, the sky changed color, the sunlight was obscured by clouds, and within tens of miles, everything grew dark. The air took on the semblance of a natural disaster, as countless little beasts and insects rushed away in panic!
Then, suddenly, a white pillar of light appeared at the center of the swirling clouds, connecting the mountaintop with the clouds. From afar, it seemed as if someone was ascending to the heavens...
"Brother Lin, how many Yuan Stones did you use to set up this formation!" Tao Tao’s eyes widened in disbelief as she gazed at Lin Feng, exclaiming in shock. This scene was far more terrifying than before, and the Yuan Energy was so dense it defied description, so much so that it began to liquefy on the ground—how exaggerated must the concentration be to achieve this!
"A million Yuan Stones," Lin Feng replied casually, his face breaking into a smile. This concentration of Yuan Energy was exactly what he needed to transform Yuan Gang. Glancing at the stunned Tao Tao, he instructed her, "Don’t waste any time, start cultivating quickly."
After speaking, Lin Feng sat down cross-legged, unmoving like a meditative statue, and soon entered a deep state of meditation, frantically circulating the spell to transform Yuan Gang. Tao Tao, seeing this, dared not hesitate, and immediately sat beside Lin Feng to begin her cultivation.
Boss indeed lives up to his name!
Tangyuan floated in mid-air, staring at the ever-expanding cloud formation with astonishment, unable to fathom the extent to which it would grow. But in an environment like this, Tangyuan also reaped considerable benefits, as such a dense atmosphere of Yuan Energy wasn’t typically found...
After roughly two hours, when Tao Tao felt her body could no longer absorb any more Yuan Energy, she stood up. Yet, upon seeing the cloud formation already covering hundreds of miles, she was momentarily dumbfounded. This formation laid out with a million Yuan Stones was truly terrifying!
With a swift movement, she and Tangyuan positioned themselves around the mountaintop, constantly vigilant for possible Demon Beasts. During Lin Feng’s past seclusions, such creatures were plentiful, and she wouldn’t allow anything unfortunate to happen during his meditation.
However, much to Tao Tao’s surprise, even after guarding the mountaintop for two or three days, not a single Demon Beast or Little Beast appeared. This situation left her utterly perplexed! Eventually, seeing nothing amiss, she sat atop the mountain peak, watching Lin Feng cultivate at the center of the valley, contemplating his previous words, and feeling the Yuan Energy...
At the cloud formation’s edge, hundreds of miles away.
Numerous Demon Beasts surrounded an elderly-looking figure, none daring to enter the area covered by the cloud formation, overwhelmed by its terrifying aura, each trembling with fear.
"Demon King, what’s going on here?"
"Demon King, the pressure feels immense; what’s happening over there!"
"Demon King, shouldn’t we go over and take a look...?"
...
The Demon Beasts clustered around the old man, voicing their fears. Despite being terrified of the chilling aura, they were driven by curiosity, eager to discover the happenings within the cloud formation.
The old man gazed at the Demon Beasts, shaking his head and sighing, "I too am unsure, but something extraordinary is happening in that place. Otherwise, it couldn’t have drained Yuan Energy from a radius of hundreds of miles. This is beyond the capability of ordinary humans. If my guess is correct, it might be a Divine Venerable Powerhouse from the Human Race; no one but a Divine Venerable Powerhouse could achieve such a feat!"
Continuing, the old man shook his head again and warned the Demon Beasts, "Do not attempt to investigate. Otherwise, you might not even realize how you died. Stay at the outskirts of the cloud formation. Wait until one month after it disappears to return to your territories."
Leaving these words behind, he cast a dread-filled glance at the terrifying cloud formation and departed, unable to fathom why a Divine Venerable Powerhouse would appear in such a place...
