Chapter 175 Traces Found on the Shores of the East China Sea
Finally, there's Ling Feng's cultivation level! After experiencing those breathtaking and terrifying eighty-one heavenly tribulations, Ling Feng was reborn from the ashes like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
His cultivation level has already reached the fourth level of the Refining Void and Merging with the Dao realm, and the number of giant particles condensed in his body is an astonishing 150 million!
However, this was because he failed to absorb the subsequent twenty-seven bolts of lightning power; otherwise, his cultivation level would have been even higher.
However, even with his current cultivation level, Ling Feng could practically roam freely in this vast and boundless world of Zhu Xian, without needing to take anyone seriously.
Even though he was hailed as the strongest being in the world, Ling Feng was absolutely confident that he could easily defeat the Beast God, leaving him powerless to fight back.
However, despite his confidence, Ling Feng still harbored some apprehension about the various magical formations that existed in this world.
It should be known that the art of formations is always mysterious and ever-changing, and one can easily fall into its trap if one is not careful. Therefore, Ling Feng naturally dared not be careless.
Ling Feng had just successfully survived the Heavenly Tribulation after going through countless hardships, and according to normal circumstances, he should have rested and recuperated to restore his vitality.
However, at this moment, Ling Feng has just experienced a transformation from death to life, and there is really no need for him to rest any longer.
After carefully examining his own condition, he discovered that his eleven incredibly powerful demonic beast pets were still lying prone in the narrow passage, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
A long time had passed, and Ling Feng never expected that these usually majestic and arrogant demon beasts were still not recovered from that terrifying heavenly tribulation.
Such cowardly behavior undoubtedly severely damages their dignity and imposing presence as overlords of demonic beasts.
But if these demonic beasts knew Ling Feng's true thoughts, they would probably spit in his face without hesitation.
After all, they have experienced countless trials and tribulations in their lives, including several heavenly tribulations.
But the terror of this calamity was unprecedented, and its earth-shattering aura made them mistakenly believe that they had encountered the legendary cataclysmic disaster!
That is why they remain trapped in fear for so long.
Fortunately, Ling Feng didn't take the matter to heart, and had no time to argue with these demonic beast pets.
He simply waved his hand, signaling the demons to follow him, then turned and left without looking back, together stepping out of this gloomy and eerie Abyss of the Dead.
After finally stepping out of the eerie and terrifying Abyss of the Dead, filled with the aura of death, and traversing the perilous and bat-swarming Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Bats, until they finally saw the brilliant sunshine in the distant sky, the eleven demonic beast pets seemed to awaken from a terrible nightmare, gradually shaking off the sense of destruction that felt like the end of the world.
Seeing that these creatures were unharmed, Ling Feng felt somewhat relieved and stopped paying too much attention to them.
He strode confidently at the head of the procession, leading them toward the nearest town.
As they got closer to the town, Ling Feng realized he couldn't just swagger in with these eleven demonic beasts; that would attract too much attention.
Although Ling Feng now has enough strength and confidence to face various challenges, he does not want to cause unnecessary trouble.
So he decisively put all the monster pets into his pet space, and then stepped into the bustling town alone.
Upon entering the town, Ling Feng did not hesitate at all and headed straight for the largest restaurant in town.
He knew that such places were often crowded and well-informed, and that he might be able to find some useful information there.
Sure enough, as soon as Ling Feng stepped into the restaurant, he keenly noticed several figures that were clearly different from ordinary people—they were cultivators!
Ling Feng calmly found a corner to sit down, ordered a few dishes and drinks, and slowly enjoyed them while attentively listening to their conversation.
Not long after, he learned from several cultivators some momentous news that caused a sensation throughout the entire martial arts world:
It is said that a mysterious treasure will soon appear in Liupo Mountain, located on the coast of the East China Sea!
This news was like a bombshell, instantly causing a huge uproar among everyone.
However, when Ling Feng heard the place name "Liupo Mountain", his heart trembled violently, as if a lightning bolt had flashed through his mind—he had actually overlooked such crucial information!
In fact, for Ling Feng, Liupo Mountain itself was not the most important thing. What really concerned him was the mysterious Full Moon Well located outside Xiaochi Town.
According to the detailed description in the original work, whenever the full moon falls, people can see their loved ones through this Full Moon Well.
Ling Feng wondered to himself whether the full moon celebration was really as sinister as described in the original story.
In addition, there is another crucial factor that makes Ling Feng both excited and worried about his trip to Liupo Mountain: Bi Yao will also be going there.
At the same time, the three major righteous sects will certainly not miss this opportunity, and Zhang Xiaofan will likely go along as well.
Ling Feng was truly worried, fearing that they might meet again and end up together.
You know, sometimes fate's arrangements are so unpredictable and elusive.
Whenever Ling Feng thought of that clever, witty, and charming girl, he felt a deep reluctance to see her suffer a tragic fate as described in the original story.
Furthermore, if things really develop to that point, all his system tasks will be in vain, and all his previous efforts will be wasted.
Having obtained the long-desired information, Ling Feng no longer hesitated, decisively settled the bill, and hurriedly left.
As he left the town and entered the desolate wilderness, Ling Feng did not summon his pet as usual, but resolutely decided to embark on his journey alone.
After all, without the ties and entanglements of those eleven demonic beast pets, Ling Feng's pace was undoubtedly faster and quicker as he traveled alone.
Although Ling Feng did not know the exact location of Xiaochi Town at the moment, he was not particularly concerned about it. In any case, once he arrived at the coast of the East China Sea, it should not be too difficult to find out its exact location.
And so, Ling Feng sped along at breakneck speed for two whole days before finally arriving at the shores of the East China Sea as he had wished.
When he witnessed the magnificent and boundless ocean, an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart, and at the same time, the Tianlong world he had once lived in involuntarily came to mind.
Looking back, the reason I was transported here from the world of Tianlong was because I had a chance encounter on Xia Ke Island and comprehended the mysterious Tai Xuan Scripture, which caused my strength to suddenly break through the limit threshold, ultimately forcing me to face this helpless situation of being transported here.
Moreover, the incident happened suddenly and the situation was urgent at the time. Even the three women who were with him could not be properly taken care of. As for how they are doing now, whether they are safe and well, Ling Feng has no way of knowing.
However, Ling Feng was only slightly saddened and melancholy. After all, he had not yet found an effective way to return to the Tianlong World. Overthinking these issues would not only be useless, but would also only increase his worries and anxieties.
Instead of doing that, he should focus on diligent cultivation. As long as he perseveres and never gives up, he believes that one day he will be able to return to the world of Tianlong that he longs for.
Then, Ling Feng stepped into a small, unremarkable town near the sea, intending to inquire about the general direction of Xiaochi Town.
As expected, everything went exactly as he had predicted. Due to the rumors surrounding Liupo Mountain, Xiaochi Town had recently become famous and the focus of everyone's attention.
No matter who you ask, you'll hear about this town.
The reason for this is that Liupo Mountain is located outside the vast sea, and Xiaochi Town happens to be located on the most convenient route to Liupo Mountain, which is why it has become famous.
Having determined the exact location, Ling Feng didn't delay any longer. After leaving the nameless town, he immediately used his flying technique and sped towards Xiaochi Town at lightning speed.
Ling Feng's Sky-Soaring Step technique was incredibly fast, unparalleled in the world. He arrived at the outer area of Xiaochi Town in just half a day.
When Ling Feng arrived at the place, what he saw there amazed him.
The number of cultivators here was countless, like a swarm of fish crossing a river.
They soared through the air or sped across the ground, but all of them shared the same goal—the mysterious town ahead.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Ling Feng decided to give up flying and instead choose to walk on solid ground.
After all, the Sky-Soaring Steps he mastered allowed him to freely traverse the skies without relying on any external force, making such a unique method all the more eye-catching.
Afterwards, Ling Feng cleverly changed his appearance before leisurely stepping into Xiaochi Town.
When it comes to changing one's appearance, it's as easy as pie for Ling Feng, who possesses the pseudo-Tian Gang Seventy-Two Transformations technique!
When Ling Feng stepped into Xiaochi Town, he discovered that the place was so desolate and lonely.
Looking around, there were very few residents in the entire town.
If it weren't for the appearance of a rare treasure on Liupo Mountain, this little-known town would probably still be hidden away in obscurity.
However, Ling Feng didn't take it seriously.
After all, he didn't come here for the town itself, so whether it was bustling or deserted didn't matter much to him.
Although the place is somewhat dilapidated, it is a small town with all the essentials of daily life.
Ling Feng did not wander around, but went straight to the only restaurant in the town.
The restaurant that looked somewhat dilapidated was now bustling with activity and crowded with people.
However, Ling Feng did not come here for the sake of food; his true purpose was to gather intelligence.
Therefore, he didn't pay any attention to the crowded and noisy scene.
As expected, the restaurant did not disappoint Ling Feng. Before long, he obtained the important information he was eager to know.
The three major righteous sects had set off for Liupo Mountain several days ago, but they had not obtained any definite information about the movements of the demonic sects.
However, Ling Feng wasn't particularly concerned about the situation at Liupo Mountain, because what was about to appear there was the legendary Kui Niu, a rare and extraordinary creature.
If Ling Feng arrives in time, he will naturally find a way to tame it and make it his pet;
However, if the opportunity is missed, the Kui Niu can only be given to others, such as Wan Renwang, who captured the Kui Niu in the original story.
In contrast, Ling Feng was more concerned about the latest news regarding Bi Yao and Zhang Xiaofan.
Just then, a rumor caught Ling Feng's attention.
It is said that the mayor of Xiaochi Town is searching far and wide for extraordinary people to help him subdue demons and eliminate evil spirits.
It turns out that about thirty miles east of the town, livestock often mysteriously disappear, and some people have even witnessed the fox spirit.
Therefore, the mayor suspected that all of this was caused by a fox spirit.
The person who brought the message went on to say that someone had volunteered for the task this morning, and the person was described as a burly monk.
When Ling Feng heard this, a scene he had previously overlooked suddenly flashed through his mind.
That is, the story of the Black Stone Cave is also interspersed in the Liupo Mountain incident, which is also the location of the Full Moon Well.
Having successfully obtained the long-desired intelligence, Ling Feng took action without hesitation, immediately stepping out of the restaurant and speeding towards the east of the town.
At this very moment, the moon hangs high in the center of the sky, and today happens to be the day of the full moon.
However, since Ling Feng could see clearly even in the dark and deep, ink-like environment of the Abyss of the Dead, this night, with its faint moonlight, was practically no different from daytime to him.
Shortly after leaving the town, a vast and boundless dense forest came into view, where venomous snakes, insects, and ferocious wild beasts roamed about from time to time.
However, these things do not pose a real threat to Ling Feng.
After all, he possessed extraordinary strength, and was even able to fly.
In this situation, in order to speed up the journey, Ling Feng naturally chose to travel by flying.
Before even reaching their destination, Ling Feng's keen senses detected the sounds of intense fighting coming from ahead.
Ling Feng knew without a doubt who was behind this fierce battle, which even birds wouldn't bother to defecate in.
Apart from Zhang Xiaofan and his group who came specifically to slay demons, probably no one else would set foot in this place.
Furthermore, with Ling Feng's keen senses, he detected that there seemed to be seven figures on the battlefield ahead.
However, Ling Feng did not dwell on this for long, but instead moved towards that direction as swiftly as lightning.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Feng arrived above the battlefield.
Given Ling Feng's current formidable strength, if he chooses not to reveal himself, it would be virtually impossible for others to detect his whereabouts.
Therefore, when Ling Feng quietly approached the battlefield, none of the people present noticed that there was actually a bystander hidden in the sky.
