Chapter 1150 - 1148: Strange!
When Qi Yuan saw the green fire of inheritance burning fiercely in front of the portrait of Lord of Dao’s Annihilation, his eyes moistened. After waiting for hundreds of years, he finally could gather both legacies of the Twin Saints Immortal Sect, which left him, the Sect Master, at a loss for how to properly celebrate this joyous occasion.
He respectfully bowed to the portrait of Lord of Dao’s Annihilation, then picked up the Inheritance Saint Disk that was flashing with green light in front of the painting. This Inheritance Saint Disk was the sacred artifact of the Twin Saints Immortal Sect, capable of accurately locating the inheritor. Through this item, he must find the inheritor as soon as possible and bring them back to revitalize the Twin Saints Immortal Sect!
However, when he looked at the Inheritance Saint Disk, he was immediately stunned because the disk showed that the inheritor was in the Secular World. He exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible? How did the inheritor end up in the Secular World?"
"The Secular World? This..." Qi Feng had been busy rushing to notify the Sect Master and hadn’t thought to look at the Inheritance Saint Disk. Now, upon hearing the Sect Master’s words, he rushed over and looked at the disk as well, seeing the same information as Qi Yuan. He too was dumbfounded, thinking how it could be possible for the inheritor to stimulate the inheritance in the Secular World, where there is not an abundance of Spiritual Energy...
Both men were stunned. They knew all too well the conditions required for activating an inheritance—it needed a sea of Spiritual Energy. Even in the Hidden World, a lot of preparations were necessary when an inheritor within their Sect activated their inheritance. The Secular World simply did not have such conditions!
Qi Yuan’s expression became serious, feeling that there was something fishy about this matter, but regardless, the inheritor must be brought back. Thinking this, he immediately said to Qi Feng, "Instruct Qi Hai to take two people and make a trip. They must bring the inheritor back."
After issuing these orders, Qi Yuan disappeared. He had to discuss this critical matter with the Great Elder and the others, as it concerned the future of the Twin Saints Immortal Sect...
When Liao Chen’s bursting aura settled down, it was as if he had become a different person, shrouded in a faint golden light. Even Liao Chen’s skin seemed fairer, as if he had undergone a complete transformation.
Finally, I can control my body!
Feeling the control over his body returning, Liao Chen immediately checked himself and, finding nothing abnormal, withdrew the faint golden Gang Qi. Sensing that his strength had increased significantly more than before, a smile spread across his face, thinking that indeed, as Teacher Lin had said, his power had grown immensely. Without exaggeration, he now had the confidence to defeat any opponent!
Then, seeing Teacher Lin Feng smiling nearby, Liao Chen promptly went over to him, respectfully bowed, and said, "Teacher Lin, thank you for helping me enhance my strength. Just command me if there’s anything I can do. I will do my utmost."
Liao Chen spoke with genuine sincerity, which reflected his true feelings. Without Lin Feng, he might have died long ago; without Lin Feng, his friends could have met the same fate; without Lin Feng, he would never have achieved his current level of strength! Therefore, repaying Lin Feng was what he wanted to do the most. As long as it was within his power, he would never refuse any request.
Seeing Liao Chen’s earnestness, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction and said in a gentle tone, "It’s good that you’re not blinded by power. Although your strength has increased greatly, you still don’t know how to control it. So now, your first task is to stabilize your strength and master your power. Only then can you truly be considered improved."
He was pleased that Liao Chen could resist the temptation that came with increased strength and was not acting arrogantly. Since that was the case, Lin Feng wouldn’t be stingy with his guidance. With Liao Chen’s personality, gaining power would be beneficial.
"Yes, Teacher Lin, but I don’t know how to control this power..."
After hearing what Lin Feng said, Liao Chen pondered for a moment and realized Lin Feng made a very good point. Then, it dawned on him that he wasn’t sure how to manage this suddenly acquired great power, so he asked Lin Feng for advice.
"Forgetting that for now, you should go and spar with Old Monster Nangong He and the others. Combat is the best way to learn to control power." Upon hearing Liao Chen’s words, Lin Feng realized no one had ever taught Liao Chen these things before—it was normal for him not to know. Thinking this, he immediately gave Liao Chen a suggestion, a path he himself had once walked.
"Alright, Teacher Lin, rest assured, I know what to do." After hearing Lin Feng’s words, Liao Chen bowed again to Teacher Lin, said his thanks succinctly, and with a turn, left to seek out Old Monster and the others for sparring. He was truly eager to discover the extent of his strength and, following Lin Feng’s advice, to stabilize his realm and truly grasp the power that had surged within him.
Once Liao Chen left, a smile also appeared on Lin Feng’s face, feeling that Liao Chen was indeed a good man. He then turned and returned to his own room.
When he was back in his room, he sat on the bed and entered a cultivation state, though he did not work on enhancing his own strength. At his level, diligent cultivation was not particularly effective. Now, he was beginning to comprehend the ancient-sounding phrases that emerged during Liao Chen’s breakthrough.
Although Liao Chen was the one who broke through and also stimulated his inheritance, Lin Feng had gained a lot from the experience. Those phrases made Lin Feng perceive things he had never considered before. If he could fully understand them, then Lin Feng felt he would certainly improve in power...
Lin Feng was engrossed in his solitary cultivation, but Liao Chen easily found Old Monster and the others, sharing with them Lin Feng’s arrangement for a sparring session. The faces of Old Monster and the rest lit up with smiles, all eager to see the extent of Liao Chen’s strength.
However, with too many students around, it was not a good place for a fight, which was quite bothersome for them. Following Zhu Tao’s suggestion, the group immediately drove to the suburbs.
Once they reached a secluded valley in the suburbs, they began to spar...
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
A series of thunderous explosions echoed through the valley, sounding like a relentless bombardment, even audible ten kilometers away... Only when the sky darkened did the explosions cease, and Liao Chen along with Old Monster and others drove back.
"Liao Chen, I really didn’t expect you to become this powerful!"
"Elder, it’s all just good luck."
"Don’t be so modest. Your strength is even greater than mine was in the past, definitely reaching the Half-Step to Minute Subtlety Realm."
"Ah, I thought being at the Middle Stage of the Transcendent Realm was already impressive, but seeing you has been a blow to my confidence!"
"Actually, your strength is also quite notable. I dare say that even a typical expert at the later stages of the Transcendent Realm probably wouldn’t be able to handle you."
"..."
...
In the car, Leng Hao was driving, and the four of them chatted casually. Old Monster and the others were amazed at Liao Chen’s current strength. In such a short time, he had leaped from the Middle Stage of the Transcendent Realm to the Half-Step to Infinitesimal Realm. Such an inconceivable feat would be unimaginable if they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes. To think that even Old Monster, if not going all out, would be hard-pressed to suppress Liao Chen – this showed just how formidable Liao Chen had become!
Moreover, what shocked them even more was that as time passed, Liao Chen’s combat skills grew increasingly formidable over the following few days, making them all marvel at his talent. Such a prodigious talent was indeed heaven-defying; a Loose Cultivator with a fortunate encounter could have such an astounding talent for cultivation that Old Monster and the rest were at a loss for words.
In the following two days, each day Liao Chen would take Old Monster and others out to spar, aiming to gain control of his power as quickly as possible. However, starting from the second day, Leng Hao stopped going because he was no match for Liao Chen, so he and Zhu Tao stayed at home to keep watch, letting Old Monster and Nangong He accompany Liao Chen.
Meanwhile, in these two days, Lin Feng hadn’t meddled in too many things, starting to prepare to resolve the issues of those students in the special class once and for all...
...
On the third morning, the fiery sunrise rose from the horizon, providing a warm feeling, and the sky was extraordinarily blue, cloudless, making everything seem so pleasantly inviting. On a rooftop of Yingbo University, three middle-aged men dressed in long robes were talking, seemingly out of place in this bustling city.
"Young Master Hai, it should be here, right? We rushed here all because of that successor. Let’s not be in the wrong place; the Sect Master is very anxious about this," said one middle-aged man wearing a yellow robe to Qi Hai, who was beside him in a deep blue robe, tall with handsome features. They had followed Qi Hai to the Secular World to find a successor—a matter of great importance that required them not to make any error.
"It should be this area. The Inheritance Saint Disk indicates it’s here," Qi Hai looked at the Inheritance Saint Disk and said seriously.
"Then why can’t we find the successor? Shouldn’t the Inheritance Saint Disk be able to pinpoint the successor’s exact location at close range?" another man in a gray robe added, finding it exceedingly strange. If the successor was here, why wasn’t the location exact? This was too peculiar; such a situation had never occurred before.
"I’m also puzzled by this. But since we’re here, we have to bring back the successor no matter what. The area is right before us, so let’s not fear the trouble. We can search area by area. I refuse to believe we can’t find the successor," Qi Hai’s heart was also filled with intrigue, unable to accurately locate the successor, which made his mission more difficult. But no matter what, the successor had to be found, even if it took more effort.
The two beside him nodded in agreement to Qi Hai’s suggestion. In the current situation, this was the only method. Although it was unclear why the Inheritance Saint Disk couldn’t precisely locate the successor, getting close would ultimately trigger a special response.
Seeing the agreement, Qi Hai held the Inheritance Saint Disk, his figure swiftly vanished from the rooftop, and the other two immediately followed suit...
