Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1430 - 1428 Accepting the Inheritance

"Thank you, elder!"

Upon hearing the elder’s words, Lin Feng immediately bowed to him and expressed his gratitude respectfully. Although it was merely a trace of Divine Sense from the Yuanxu Heavenly Immortal, it was enough to earn his respect. Lin Feng also wished to become such a legendary figure, and with this inheritance, his path would be smoother. Thus, he could not refuse.

Originally, Lin Feng had intended to give this inheritance to Xia Lalan or Leng Hao. However, with developments reaching this point, he finally understood that it was just wishful thinking on his part. The Yuanxu Heavenly Immortal was not going to follow his arrangements. Only he was qualified to inherit the Yuanxu Heavenly Immortal’s legacy.

"No need to thank me; this is your opportunity, and everything was destined long ago." The elder looked at Lin Feng, smiled faintly, and said to him. There was no need to thank him. If Lin Feng wasn’t the person he was looking for, he wouldn’t have appeared. If Lin Feng couldn’t meet his criteria, he would never have wanted to pass the legacy to him, so everything was destined, and there was no need to thank.

After saying that, the elder did not wait for Lin Feng to speak. He opened his palm, and suddenly a dazzling light erupted from his hand, blinding everyone. They couldn’t see anything, and Lin Feng involuntarily closed his eyes at this moment.

In the blink of an eye, when Lin Feng felt the golden light fading, he slowly opened his eyes. He was stunned by what he saw!

Towering trees hundreds of feet high were everywhere, making the forest full of vitality. Majestic mountains soared into the clouds, appearing so solid and imposing. The meandering rivers roared loudly, as if singing joyful songs. The ancient Spirit Qi that filled the earth was so thick and nourishing to all living things...

The crowd, blinded by the golden light, was also stunned by this sight. They wondered how the surrounding scene had changed as if they were in another space, thinking to themselves what kind of primitive, ancient place this was.

Suddenly, everyone froze, wondering why such a thing had happened. They could feel that this was not an Illusion Realm but something real. Sensing the ancient aura denser than that within the Heavenly Immortal Mansion Ruins, they couldn’t help but speculate if they had returned to the Ancient Era. Otherwise, why would there be such thick ancient aura?

While the crowd was still confused, Lin Feng glanced at the elder, who smiled at him and nodded. Lin Feng immediately guessed the elder’s intention; it was clearly a test for him. Thinking this, Lin Feng turned around and disappeared from the spot.

Atop a towering giant tree, Lin Feng felt the boundless vitality of the entire forest, a kind of comprehension of the breath of life, which made him enamored. In a blink, Lin Feng unconsciously raised his right hand; an unknown bird flew to it. Lin Feng waved his hand, and the bird flew away.

Immediately after, Lin Feng closed his eyes. Instantly, a Spirit Qi Vortex appeared in the sky, with countless ancient Spirit Qi converging towards Lin Feng. But Lin Feng did not absorb this Spirit Qi; instead, he raised his right hand and refined the Spirit Qi into specks of golden light, sprinkling them across the forest. He then experienced an incredible scene in his mind, feeling the gratitude of the forest’s creatures...

On a towering mountain peak, Lin Feng stood beneath a massive boulder that was several dozen feet wide. Staring at the boulder atop the mountain, he immediately had an insight. As he placed his hand on the boulder, a profound and ancient feeling surged within him, as if the boulder was recounting stories of the past, stunning Lin Feng as he absorbed everything the boulder conveyed...

Beside the roaring river, Lin Feng scooped up a handful of clear water with both hands...

At the top of the boundless sky, above the vast sea of clouds...

...

In a flash, Lin Feng traversed many places in this strange world, having different insights at each location, a kind of enlightenment unimaginable in the real world, as this world didn’t exist in the real world at all...

When Lin Feng returned to the elder’s side under everyone’s gaze, the elder, with a smile on his face, asked Lin Feng, "After making a round, what are your thoughts?"

Upon hearing the elder’s question, Lin Feng pondered briefly and then replied, "The heaven is the Way, the earth is the Way, everything in the universe is the Way. Following one’s true heart and perceiving all things in the world is one’s own Way."

Lin Feng spoke sincerely; these were his true thoughts. This experience had given him many insights, stringing together many things he had previously understood. It made him feel abundantly rewarded. Originally, he walked his path without any direction, but now he seemed to have gradually found his way forward, which made him very happy.

"Not bad, to think of these things, you truly are the person I’ve waited for countless epochs. Therefore, I will pass on the legacy to you, and it’s time for me to vanish from this world." The elder, looking at Lin Feng, said with a smile, satisfied with Lin Feng’s response. Such a person with comprehension was extremely rare even in the Ancient Era, let alone Lin Feng, who was only twenty years old. Such understanding at such a young age showed Lin Feng’s extraordinary talent. Passing on the legacy to Lin Feng was the best decision.

After saying that, the elder, without waiting for Lin Feng to speak, lifted his right hand, and a golden light shot towards Lin Feng’s head, disappearing instantly. Following this, something even more unimaginable happened. Countless golden lights appeared unknowingly in the world, surging towards Lin Feng’s body. Instantly, Lin Feng seemed to turn into a bright sun, once again blinding the crowd, leaving everyone perplexed, thinking this... this was the inheritance?

"Young man, I wish I could see how far you can go, but I can’t. I hope you can find your own Way, and I will be content." At this moment, the elder, looking at Lin Feng, said softly. After saying this, the elder’s body began to change, finally turning into specks of golden light that also shot towards Lin Feng.

The overwhelming and indescribable power entering his body caused Lin Feng extreme pain. The veins on his forehead had long since bulged, and even his sweat was pouring down like rain. Lin Feng wanted to endure, but after holding on for just a moment, he could hold no longer.

"Ah..."

A thunderous roar, filled with agony, escaped from Lin Feng. He felt as if his body was going to explode, as the immense power fused with his body without needing refining, even enhancing his physical form to an unprecedented level!

But this was not the most painful part. The most painful thing was Lin Feng feeling that many things were being forcibly stuffed into his mind—various memories of the Yuanxu Heavenly Immortal, including alchemy, Artifact Refining, Formations, spell, and so forth. His mind was no longer his own, a feeling unbearably painful.

No matter how painful it was, Lin Feng gritted his teeth and endured. He knew once he got through it, he would truly gain the Yuanxu Heavenly Immortal’s inheritance. From then, he would enter a new realm. The path of cultivation was against the natural order, with each small step being an arduous endeavor. Faced with such a rare opportunity, even if it would cost him his life, he was determined to endure...

Though everyone now couldn’t see with their eyes, their Divine Sense was still active, observing Lin Feng. Yet to their surprise, their Divine Sense couldn’t perceive Lin Feng, only the ten-foot-wide sun hanging in mid-air, its releasing boundless power causing each of them to tremble. Without a doubt, Lin Feng was receiving the inheritance; the process was just not completed yet.

Wang Batian, seeing Lin Feng had already inherited the legacy, felt utterly dejected. He never expected things to turn out this way. He thought to himself, why was Lin Feng so lucky that the Yuanxu Heavenly Immortal’s legacy ended up with him instead of himself? If he had obtained this legacy, he would become the foremost figure within the Sect, eventually reaching the legendary Heavenly Immortal Realm. But now, all his dreams were shattered, a pain Wang Batian found unbearable.

Moreover, what worried him was what came next. If Lin Feng finished inheriting the legacy, he would surely deal with him. This way, the situation would reverse. Now he was no longer thinking about how to kill Lin Feng, but how to get out of here alive...

The process lasted nearly for a whole two hours before the golden light surrounding Lin Feng began to fade, finally disappearing entirely. As the golden light gradually faded, everyone’s vision slowly returned. When they saw Lin Feng, they were all stunned.

What happened?

Why did Lin Feng change?

Why didn’t Lin Feng have any clothes on?

...

The crowd looked at Lin Feng, struggling to comprehend his new appearance. For some unknown reason, Lin Feng’s upper garment had vanished, revealing his superbly toned physique. Though his skin was fair, it looked strikingly healthy; his muscles, though not massive, had extremely smooth lines, reminiscent of a cheetah!

Another change was Lin Feng’s hair, which used to be casual but now appeared extremely tousled, as if he had just been electro-shocked. For a moment, everyone couldn’t understand why Lin Feng looked like this after receiving the legacy, pondering if the inheritance had succeeded, and why it would alter his appearance so drastically?
