The next morning, Ling Feng left the Sky White Imperial City quietly, without saying goodbye to anyone.
Recalling last night’s banquet, it was certainly an illustrious gathering—monarchs of the Empire, the Cangqiong Sect Master, Ying Yang General, the Heavenly Position Academy Dean, and the Grand Commandant Mansion...
Prominent figures from the Empire all attended this grand event.
Of course, Ling Feng’s close acquaintances, such as Leng Jianfeng, Su Qingxuan, Qin Wanwan, Lio Yunfei, Deng Yongshi... were naturally present.
Everyone knew that golden scales are not ordinary; with Ling Feng’s talent, he was destined to leave the small confines of the Sky White Empire.
This banquet was both a thank you to Ling Feng for saving the Empire and a farewell as he departs.
At the banquet, there were various celebrations, not to ntion that Jiang Xiaofan and Lee Bufan also decided to resign from the military to explore broader horizons.
For them, the Sky White Empire was just a small pond. With their current strength, and now that the Empire had beco stable, there was no need for them to stay here any longer; it was ti to leap out of this ’pond.’
Although the East Spirit Immortal Pond hasn’t started formally recruiting, the Eastern Spirit Domain is vast, including the Four Great Empires, East Sea, Southern Border, Western Wasteland, and Northern Barbarians. With their current skills, it’s ti to venture out and train for cultivation improvent.
In the end, they aspire to follow in Ling Feng’s footsteps, continuously moving toward the pinnacle of martial arts.
On that day, much of their motivation ca from being inspired by Ling Feng since he returned with unparalleled strength. If they stayed in the Sky White Empire, they might not even be able to see the back of Ling Feng’s head in the future; they would completely fall behind him.
Despite this, Moo Feng didn’t stop Xiao Fan and the others from leaving, even though he was reluctant. After all, everyone has their pursuits, and as brothers, Jiang Xiaofan and Lee Bufan had already helped him a lot.
Ling Feng knew that going out for training naturally ant facing nurous challenges, but the two traveling together would at least offer each other support. Moreover, the path of martial arts is a path of defiance; if one doesn’t dare to take risks, how can one challenge fate and continuously ascend!
As for Yue Yunlan, though she had just recovered from a serious illness, she still attended the banquet.
Although Ling Feng didn’t make too many promises to her, he agreed to et next year at the East Spirit Immortal Pond when disciples are recruited; he promised to wait for her arrival there.
Given her current physique and the power contained within the Nihility Lotus, once she fully refines it, she would probably at least reach the late Human Emperor stage.
And then there’s Yan Cangtian; although he didn’t bring Yaan Ning to the event, his cheerful expression suggested that the ’old lover’ had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
Ling Feng didn’t have much affection for the Empress Dowager, but as long as Yan Cangtian was happy, it mattered not.
As for his own Lingshen Sect, when he initially took over this sect from Duanmu Qingshan, he was essentially a carefree leader, not participating much in sect construction. However, the wealth and secret manual he brought back made the Lingshen Sect thrive in the sect world of the Sky White Empire.
Furthermore, the new emperor, Moo Feng, decreed to list the Lingshen Sect alongside the Cangqiong Sect as one of the National Guardian Divine Sects.
Concerning this decision, even Yue Zhonglian had no objections, given Ling Feng’s contributions to the Empire, making him fully qualified to stand on equal footing.
Ling Feng himself never imagined that his initial wish to elevate the forr Wenxian Sect to a major sect like the Cangqiong Sect was finally fulfilled.
Reporting this good news back to Duanmu Qingshan naturally fell on Lo Jianying’s shoulders.
Ling Feng wasn’t unwilling to return to the Cangqiong Sect to see his Master and Lin Xian’er. It’s just that regarding Lin Xian’er...
When Lin Xian’er was severely injured and near death due to Lin Canglang, she had already confessed her feelings to him, leaving Ling Feng perplexed on how to face it.
Moreover, Duanmu Qingshan was eager to marry his daughter off to Ling Feng, so evading it for now seed preferable.
He shook his head vigorously, burying last night’s mories deep within his heart. To protect the friends he cherished and bear the grudge of annihilation, he must relentlessly grow stronger!
He flew to the Emperor’s North Suburb, a desolate area, took out the token leading to the Mist Ghost Forest, opened the pathway, and vanished from sight in the next mont.
Perhaps by leaving, it would be a long, long ti before he had the chance to return.
...
Three days later, Ling Feng departed from the Mist Ghost Forest.
This ti, the Sky White Emperor Dharma added four more Qi Refining Mixed Elent Locks to Ling Feng, making a total of eleven locks including the seven existing ones.
Though he had endured this unbearable feeling multiple tis before, each ti the Qi Refining Mixed Elent Lock was added, the pain was so intense that Ling Feng wished he could just die.
Especially this ti, with four locks added continuously, it almost drove Ling Feng to his limit.
After all the Mixed Elent Locks were added, Ling Feng fell unconscious for a day and a night, recuperated another day and night, and by the third day, he finally recovered.
According to the Sky White Emperor Dharma, there were eighteen Qi Refining Mixed Elent Locks in total, and there was still much suffering ahead!
However, even though the addition process was agonizing, the rewards were indeed considerable.
The eleven Qi Refining Mixed Elent Locks further compressed Ling Feng’s aura; outwardly, it seed reduced to the early Divine Sea Realm, with both speed and power greatly restricted. Yet when all eleven locks were fully opened, the power could virtually explode to over a hundredfold!
Of course, once he completely adapts to these eleven Mixed Elent Locks and reverts to the Human Emperor level normally, then with all eleven fully opened, the power surge would be terrifying!
This Qi Refining Mixed Elent Lock truly lives up to being a secret technique created by a strong practitioner from the Immortal Domain (Sky White Emperor Essence). Although the cultivation process is exceedingly painful, it is indeed a heaven-defying secret technique.
Traveling northward, traversing the Heavenly Saint Empire, under Ling Feng’s full speed, he finally returned to Iron Ice City after ten days.
During this ti, Ling Feng gradually adapted to the new Mixed Elent Locks; his speed steadily increased, recovering to about sixty percent of the previous, otherwise, it would have taken much longer.
Based on Ling Feng’s estimates, returning to his previous level in normal conditions would require about a month or even longer. Ling Feng deliberately tempered his foundation and didn’t use the Mixed Elent Lock to rush, making these ten days a period of rapid advancent for him.
Finally, seeing this snowy city again, Ling Feng knew the East Spirit Immortal Pond was close.
