Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1244 - 1242: Please Follow Me

The Lei Family’s ancient castle is indeed vast. Surrounding the exterior of the castle is a beautifully manicured garden that appears extremely comfortable. The castle itself is decorated in an ancient style, comprising five floors altogether, primarily featuring solid wood furnishings. In the heart of the castle hangs an enormous crystal chandelier within the courtyard, exuding unparalleled luxury and magnificence!

"Not bad at all!" Upon seeing the interior decorations of the castle, Lin Feng’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but praise. The decor was certainly impressive, perfectly blending Eastern and Western elements. It was evident that a lot of thought had been put into it.

"Taoist Friend Lin flatters us too much. These are just mere external things, organized by the people below. Let us go to my room on the top floor," Lei Yi responded with a humble smile upon hearing Lin Feng’s words. He then led Lin Feng directly into his room while Lei Yan guided the others to attend to their separate tasks. Without the Ancestor’s orders, they weren’t qualified to listen in.

After entering the room, Lei Yi promptly gestured for Lin Feng to take the seat of honor, sitting next to him. Before Lei Yi could speak, Lin Feng took the initiative to ask a question.

"I’m quite curious about what exactly is going on between the Lei Family and the Hehuan Ancestor, could you tell me?" Lin Feng really was curious, and it had been weighing on his mind. The Hehuan Ancestor was a figure from the Hidden World, and wouldn’t emerge without a significant reason. Had he not ventured all the way to Europe to trouble the Lei Family, surely there must be some hidden reasons.

"Originally, the Lei Family was a prominent cultivating family within the Hidden World, but it has declined over time. Several hundred years ago, the Lei Family moved here from the Hidden World to avoid a potential disaster of extermination, as we were no longer capable of self-defense. Even if the four major Prominent Families did nothing, the Loose Cultivators would have taken action. In the blink of an eye, centuries have passed, and I have become a warrior of the Divine Change Realm during this long period."

"As for the grievances with the Hehuan Ancestor, it all started many years ago when our Lei Family obtained a Dharma Treasure from an ancient site—the giant sword Dharma Treasure I used before. Somehow, the Hehuan Ancestor came here to seize this treasure, and naturally, our Lei Family couldn’t just hand it over, so we fought. And this fight lasted for decades; almost every year, the Hehuan Ancestor would stir up trouble, exhausting the Lei Family."

"It has to be said that the Hehuan Ancestor was quite formidable. Not only was he a warrior of the Divine Change Realm, but he also had many life-saving techniques. I’ve been trying to kill him for decades and haven’t succeeded until you helped us do so recently, finally lifting a heavy burden off the Lei Family."

Lei Yi slowly recounted the story of the lingering grievances with the Hehuan Ancestor, allowing Lin Feng to understand the Lei Family and the Hehuan Ancestor better. He also knew some things about Lin Feng since the news had spread through the Hidden World about Lin Feng showing extraordinary powers during a major competition among the four Prominent Families. He didn’t know specifics before, but now he was aware that Lin Feng was an Immortal, holding him in high regard. Becoming an Immortal before the age of twenty was unprecedented, and he too was curious how Lin Feng managed this feat.

After listening to Lei Yi’s story, Lin Feng nodded. The reason seemed plausible, but Lin Feng immediately sensed that something was off, considering the extraordinary strength displayed by the Hehuan Ancestor today. If it came to a life-or-death fight, Lei Yi would have no chance. Surely there must be some hidden circumstances otherwise the Hehuan Ancestor could have annihilated the Lei Family long ago instead of waiting until now?

"If I’m not mistaken, Hehuan Ancestor must have become more powerful than before; something’s amiss," Lin Feng did not mince his words and directly shared his speculation, wanting Lei Yi to reveal the true story.

"Indeed there are hidden circumstances. Recently, our people received news that Hehuan Ancestor appeared in America’s Ming Family, where he received some artifacts passed down by Immortals and an Immortal Edict, though no one knows exactly what they were. Additionally, Hehuan Ancestor inherited a Cultivation Technique, likely the one used in the recent battle; previously, his technique wasn’t like this. Overall, Hehuan Ancestor’s strength has greatly increased, prompting him to come after the Lei Family again."

Lei Yi, not intending to hide anything from Lin Feng, straightforwardly shared the recently acquired information. After speaking, his expression grew serious, and he hesitated slightly before speaking to Lin Feng, "There’s one more thing, I’m not sure if I should mention it."

"What is it?" Lin Feng, having nodded in agreement with Lei Yi’s earlier remarks and anticipating the underlying issue with Hehuan Ancestor, felt curious when he heard Lei Yi express doubt about speaking further.

"We’ve always suspected that some force behind the scenes was pushing Hehuan Ancestor to trouble us. Not long ago, we finally uncovered some clues. One of the four major Prominent Families had apparently made an agreement with Hehuan Ancestor. After Hehuan Ancestor wore the Lei Family down, they would personally take action to annihilate the Lei Family."

At this point, Lei Yi could no longer conceal any details and revealed everything. Honestly, he was initially confused when he received this information, but then he understood that it wasn’t just a feud; it was about an artifact treasured by the Lei Family...

"The people from the Four Prominent Families are behind this? That seems illogical; they must be after something, right?" After hearing Lei Yi’s words, Lin Feng immediately asked. Normally, the Four Prominent Families would not concern themselves with a smaller Prominent Family like the Lei Family, and having already moved out of the Hidden World, the only explanation is that the Lei Family must possess something that relentlessly draws their attention.

Hearing Lin Feng’s speculation, Lei Yi’s expression changed sharply, but he quickly made up his mind and said to Lin Feng: "Indeed, our Lei Family does have an item that they are covetous of—a damaged Teleportation Formation. If Taoist Friend Lin likes, we can give it to you. As long as you can help our Lei Family, that would be sufficient."

In fact, what Lei Yi said was sincere; the Teleportation Formation was indeed damaged and of little use. Moreover, with Lin Feng here this time, if Lin Feng were not around next time, the Lei Family would still face annihilation. So, taking this opportunity to give it to Lin Feng wasn’t really a big deal.

Upon hearing Lei Yi’s words, Lin Feng knew Lei Yi had misunderstood his intention, and immediately clarified: "You’ve misunderstood my meaning, I don’t want the Teleportation Formation; it’s of no use to me."

In reality, Lin Feng also understood what a Teleportation Formation meant to a Cultivation Family. Previously, there were many portals on Earth leading to other cultivation-strong worlds, including that Female Immortal he encountered in the Hidden World who had teleported from another place. It’s just that now, Earth has entered the Era of Doom; the Spiritual Energy is severely depleted, and outsiders no longer wish to come to Earth.

However, while people don’t wish to come to Earth, they could still send some items through smaller Teleportation Formations to help cultivators on Earth that have connections with them, such as Elixirs and Cultivation Techniques, and even some Secret Techniques to activate family cultivation and so on. Only especially strong Teleportation Formations, like the one at the Myriad Immortals Platform in the Hidden World, could transfer people. Hence the Lei Family’s Teleportation Formation had attracted attention, but Lin Feng had no interest in it.

Looking at Lei Yi, Lin Feng felt that the Lei Family was quite reasonable. Recalling how he had forced the Lei Family into their current situation made him feel somewhat embarrassed. Now that Lei Yi was earnestly requesting his help for the Lei Family, it was hard for him to refuse. Considering this, Lin Feng added: "Let me first check your Cultivation Techniques. Circulate it."

Lei Yi, hearing that Lin Feng would advise on their Cultivation Techniques, had his eyes light up. Being a true expert of the Human Immortal Realm, if there were any issues with their practices, Lin Feng would certainly help correct them for the Lei Family. With this thought, he sat down immediately, starting to practice as Lin Feng instructed. Lin Feng’s hands emitted Qi Cai lights, touching Lei Yi’s back...

In the blink of an eye, a few minutes passed, and Lin Feng withdrew his hand, opened his eyes, and said to Lei Yi: "Your Cultivation Techniques are fine, I have nothing to say in that aspect. However, let me check your family’s Teleportation Formation. If the Teleportation Formation can be repaired, your family’s power could significantly increase."

Lin Feng spoke his thoughts aloud. The Cultivation Techniques of the Lei Family were very mature, without any issues. So now, the only way to help the Lei Family was to start with the Teleportation Formation.

"Really... could it really be possible..." Lei Yi hardly thought Lin Feng would say such a thing. He was momentarily dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe what he just heard. The repair of such a Teleportation Formation was thought to be a lost art, if it were possible, the Lei Family wouldn’t have declined to such a state.

"If there are no unforeseen circumstances, it should be possible." Seeing Lei Yi’s exaggerated reaction, Lin Feng could understand why he would act so dramatically. People capable of repairing Teleportation Formations were gone, so his statement about being able to repair them naturally surprised Lei Yi.

"Great, great! Please follow me!"

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Lei Yi became ecstatic, almost crazily happy. After all, there was no hope before, and now Lin Feng was certain he could repair it—how could he not be thrilled? Moreover, the most important thing was his trust in Lin Feng. Lin Feng himself was an Immortal, and with such status, Lei Yi believed everything Lin Feng said.

After speaking, Lei Yi quickly led the way, taking Lin Feng down towards the lower levels of the ancient castle and also notifying Lei Yan and a few Elders of the Lei Family to hurry over to join them. Very soon, the group reached a large hall deep inside the Lei Family’s ancient castle. The hall, transformed from a natural cave, was vast with countless lamps embedded in the stone walls, making it bright as daytime. At the center of the hall, there was a circular stone slab, about three to four meters in diameter, with four particularly distinctive pillars erected on it—this was the Lei Family’s Teleportation Formation.
