The Heavenly Dragon's Beginning in the Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 164: Wish Fulfilled to Enter the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury

Ling Feng was unaware of the changes that had occurred on Zhou Yixian and Zhou Xiaohuan's side.

After successfully subduing the Yellow Bird, he could only wait quietly for the stone gate to open.

It was already afternoon, and there were only one or two hours left before the stone gate opened. With such a short time, Ling Feng naturally had enough patience to wait.

Since the Yellow Bird submitted to Ling Feng and recognized him as its master, the nine overlords of the demon beasts, who had always been hostile and eyeing it covetously, have all put aside their prejudices and made peace with it.

Clearly, they highly recognized the Yellow Bird's formidable strength, and thus gladly accepted it as a member of Ling Feng's pet family.

However, Ling Feng did not pay much attention to these trivial matters.

In his eyes, as long as these guys don't hold him back in battle, it doesn't matter how they get along in everyday life.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and night had fallen. The setting sun cast its blood-red afterglow, gradually approaching the four large characters above the stone gate.

As the afterglow fully illuminated the four characters, a loud "boom" was heard, and the stone gate slowly began to open from the center.

Witnessing this scene, Ling Feng knew that the stone gate would only be open for a very limited time, so he prepared to enter without hesitation.

However, out of caution, Ling Feng decided to adopt a more conservative strategy.

So he carefully planned and sent four pets to enter the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury first, while he himself stayed in the center of the group, and the other pets took on the responsibility of covering the rear.

In reality, Ling Feng still cherishes his life.

Fortunately, with these loyal and reliable pets to help him, he no longer needs to take risks himself.

More importantly, if these pets unfortunately encounter danger, Ling Feng still has the ability to rescue them;

Conversely, if anything were to happen to Ling Feng, their owner, these pets would also be doomed.

That's why the pets accepted and carried out Ling Feng's orders without complaint.

And so, with the combined efforts of one person and ten beasts, they successfully entered the legendary Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.

The whole process was surprisingly calm, without encountering any unexpected situations or obstacles.

Shortly after they all entered, the huge, heavy stone door behind them began to slowly close.

Clearly, the only way to leave this place is to wait until the same time tomorrow.

However, Ling Feng remained quite calm and composed in the face of this situation.

It should be noted that the members of this special team had already cultivated to the point of fasting, and could go for long periods of time without eating or drinking and still remain unharmed.

Therefore, Ling Feng was not worried about being imprisoned here; on the contrary, he was full of anticipation for the upcoming adventure.

Only after the heavy stone door was completely closed did Ling Feng turn his gaze to the interior of this mysterious Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.

His gaze swept quickly around, then fixed on the wooden platform-like object in the center, as if drawn by a magnet.

That wooden platform has a unique shape, as if it carries the weight of time and endless secrets.

On top of it is an antique-style cup, made of a material that resembles wood but is not, giving people an indescribable feeling.

Ling Feng stared at the cup, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was as if it were one with the wooden stand below, without any splicing marks, presenting a natural beauty.

However, what truly caught Ling Feng's attention was not the cup itself, but what was inside it.

It was a clear, transparent liquid, as calm and still as a mirror.

On the surface of the liquid, there floated a crystal-clear object, like a gemstone, much like a stone.

This "stone" is completely transparent and emits a rainbow of colors, making it irresistible.

Ling Feng knew that what he saw before him was the treasure he had been searching for.

After confirming that the target had been found, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, but did not let his guard down.

He then began to examine his surroundings.

Just then, Ling Feng suddenly sensed something unusual—this Heavenly Emperor's Treasury seemed to be no ordinary place, but rather an independent small world or a world of its own!

Because the space inside is simply beyond imagination!

It was even more expansive than the area occupied by the entire giant tree trunk outside.

Such a strange sight makes one wonder if it really exists in reality.

Faced with such an inconceivable event, Ling Feng was also at a loss and knew nothing.

However, after a brief moment of shock, he quickly regained his composure and decided to temporarily set aside his investigation into the origins of this mysterious space.

At this moment, Ling Feng had only one thought in his mind—to obtain the legendary elixir and the incomparably precious Heavenly Emperor Nether Stone as soon as possible.

However, at that moment, Ling Feng was surprised to discover that a transparent light curtain was surrounding the wooden platform.

Ling Feng was naturally familiar with such a light screen, because he had spent almost a whole month dealing with it in the outside world!

At this moment, the precious treasure was right before his eyes, and this treasure was related to the repair of his dantian and meridians.

Even if the road ahead is full of difficulties and obstacles, Ling Feng will never give up easily.

However, to ensure that there were no potential risks associated with this light barrier, Ling Feng decided to send Taotie to cautiously probe it first.

To his delight, after some testing, he discovered that the light was exactly the same as the light barrier he saw outside, serving only a defensive and protective function, and had no offensive capabilities whatsoever.

After reaching this conclusion, Ling Feng finally felt relieved.

You know, he has always been someone who values ​​his own life and safety very much.

Without hesitation, Ling Feng stepped forward and immediately activated the Devouring Heaven Demon Art within his body, preparing to absorb the powerful energy contained in the light screen.

To his surprise, although the light screen seemed small in scale, the energy contained within it was more abundant than he had imagined.

And so, Ling Feng continued to absorb this energy, and before he knew it, two whole days had passed.

With a soft, crisp sound, the once indestructible light barrier vanished instantly, disappearing without a trace.

As the mysterious light curtain gradually dissipated, the precious divine medicine contained in the wooden cup and the Heavenly Emperor's Nether Stone, which shone with a strange light, were presented to Ling Feng without any concealment.

However, just as Ling Feng was preparing to take action, something unexpected happened.

As the light curtain shattered, the crystal-clear stone that had been floating above the liquid in the wooden cup suddenly burst forth with dazzling brilliance.

This dazzling light, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, quickly illuminated the dome of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.

In an instant, the entire space was enveloped in a solemn and dignified atmosphere, as if time had frozen.

Immediately afterwards, a series of deep and powerful chants came from the dome, like an ancient hymn, echoing endlessly in the air.

Deep within that dazzling light, a line of peculiar text gradually emerged.

"Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs!"

These words struck Ling Feng like a thunderbolt, shaking his very soul.

After a brief silence, the light emanating from the stone grew even stronger, as if it were about to break free from the constraints of this void.

At the same time, those eye-catching characters began to fade slowly until they disappeared completely.

Then, an even more amazing scene unfolded.

On the originally smooth and flat walls, words began to slowly emerge.

Ling Feng knew in his heart that these gradually revealed characters were the legendary third volume of the Heavenly Book.

Despite already possessing the powerful Devouring Heaven Demon Art and Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, he still retained a sliver of interest in this mysterious and unpredictable heavenly book.

At this moment, facing the third volume of the Heavenly Book so close at hand, Ling Feng knew that this was a rare opportunity and he could not let it slip away easily.

So he focused intently on memorizing these precious words.

Time passed quietly, and it felt like a long period of time had gone by. Ling Feng finally imprinted all the contents of the third volume of the Heavenly Book deep into his mind.

At the same time, the mysterious stone placed in the wooden cup seemed to have exhausted its inexhaustible energy, and the brilliant light it emitted gradually dimmed like a candle flickering in the wind.

As the light dimmed, the strangely glowing characters on the surrounding walls gradually faded away like a tide until they disappeared completely.

The melodious chanting that had been echoing in the sky came to an abrupt end at that moment.

After a brief silence, the entire space returned to tranquility, unfolding like a serene painting before our eyes.

Ling Feng snapped out of his daze and focused his gaze once again on the wooden cup placed on the wooden table.

This wooden cup was undoubtedly his ultimate goal this time.

At this moment, with no further changes in the situation, Ling Feng reached out his hands without hesitation, preparing to pick up the wooden cup that seemed to be integrated seamlessly with the wooden platform.

The moment his fingertips touched the wooden cup, something amazing happened—the two, which had been tightly connected, separated easily, and Ling Feng effortlessly lifted the wooden cup.

Ling Feng stared at the slightly rippling liquid in the wooden cup, and the Heavenly Emperor Nether Stone floating quietly within it, a surge of indescribable emotion welling up within him.

He opened his mouth without hesitation and swallowed the entire cup of liquid along with the Heavenly Emperor's Nether Stone.

Ling Feng wasn't too worried about the potential dangers, because in the original story, Xiao Hui had already risked his life to prove that the liquid was non-toxic and harmless.

Without hesitation, Ling Feng swallowed the incredibly miraculous elixir and the mysterious Heavenly Emperor Nether Stone together. He then immediately sat down on the ground, closed his eyes, and channeled his spiritual power to try to refine the two divine objects within his body.

However, to his great surprise, although some time had passed, he did not experience any unusual sensations in his body.

Ling Feng couldn't help but feel suspicious:

Could it be that these so-called divine medicines and Heavenly Emperor's Nether Stones are actually fakes?

Just as Ling Feng was confused, suddenly, an unbearably hot sensation surged from his lower abdomen.

The heat came suddenly and violently, spreading to every corner of his body in an instant, even turning his skin a scarlet color like a cooked shrimp.

But this is only the surface; in reality, Ling Feng is suffering excruciating pain, as if the sun were scorching his heart.

A tremendous transformation is also taking place inside his body.

Whether it was the miraculous effect of the divine medicine or the powerful energy of the Heavenly Emperor's Nether Stone, Ling Feng had no idea.

All he knew was that his body seemed to be undergoing an unprecedented reshaping process.

Time passed slowly, and this extremely painful ordeal lasted for almost a full hour!

Finally, when all the noise subsided and everything returned to tranquility.

Although Ling Feng had also undergone a marrow cleansing process, he later suffered some injuries, both overt and covert.

Finally, the violent upheaval caused by the loss of control over his true energy severely damaged Ling Feng's meridians and dantian.

Fortunately, after this physical reconstruction, all of Ling Feng's past hidden injuries and ailments miraculously disappeared without a trace, and even his previously damaged meridians and dantian were completely healed.

At this moment, Ling Feng suddenly realized:

Without a doubt, all of this is due to the effects of that miraculous elixir!

After all, the Heavenly Emperor's Nether Stone remained safely within his body.

Moreover, Ling Feng even vaguely sensed that the medicinal power of this divine medicine had not been completely exhausted and was still continuously and profoundly transforming his body.

Experiencing firsthand the wondrous changes that had occurred within himself, Ling Feng was overjoyed and ecstatic.

In this way, he will have no more worries from now on.

But when he noticed the unresponsive Heavenly Emperor Nether Stone within his body, a sense of fear and unease suddenly welled up in his heart.

Only now did he realize that his decision had been rather rash and reckless.

It's important to know that although Little Grey in the original story did not experience any abnormalities after consuming the divine medicine and the Heavenly Emperor's Nether Stone, the specific effects of these substances were not described in detail.

Besides, Little Grey is just an ordinary monkey after all. Now that he hastily swallowed everything in one gulp, it is hard to predict whether it will cause any potential dangers or problems.

However, at this point, things have already developed to this point, and Ling Feng has no room for regret or turning back. All he can do is silently pray that nothing unexpected happens!

Suddenly, Ling Feng sensed that the surrounding space began to shake violently, as if the entire space was about to collapse.

Faced with such a sudden change, Ling Feng was greatly shocked, because he knew absolutely nothing about the Dao of Space.

Moreover, the time has not yet come for the stone gate to open. If we survive by sheer luck after going through countless hardships, only to meet with misfortune here, that would be truly terrible.

Just as Ling Feng was feeling agitated and lost in thought, the tremors in this space intensified, as if it were about to collapse and shatter at any moment.

Given the extremely urgent situation, Ling Feng naturally couldn't just foolishly wait for the stone door to open again.

It seems that the only viable path now is to try to break through by taking tough measures.
