Chapter 2236 - 2218: Silent Desert
Hearing the question, Lin Feng was momentarily stunned, but soon he remembered that a Dragon Soul was sealed within the Destiny Sword. Thinking of this, he explained, "Senior, please don’t be angry. By chance, I once obtained a Destiny Sword, within which a Dragon Soul is sealed. I’m not sure if this is what you’re referring to?"
"Bring it out to see me!" the being of Flame commanded with an imposing air, even without anger. Although the explanation was given, he must understand the situation clearly. If Lin Feng were lying, he would ensure Lin Feng’s ultimate demise.
Lin Feng did not waste any words at this moment, and with a thought, the Destiny Sword appeared in his right hand. Armor continued to spread, protecting his right hand, and a dragon’s head emerged on his shoulder, looking exceedingly majestic and domineering!
Subsequently, Lin Feng gently presented the Destiny Sword before the being of Flame, who, upon seeing it, flicked his finger, shooting three flames onto the Destiny Sword...
"Roar!"
A thunderous Dragon’s Chant resounded, and immediately a Dragon Soul floated above the Destiny Sword.
"Why are you sealed within this sword? How could the Divine Dragon Lineage be used by others?" the being of Flame roared, questioning the newly emerged Dragon Soul.
"The owner of this sword saved my life three times back then. When I was on the brink of annihilation, I voluntarily requested to be sealed within this sword to repay the three life-saving graces!" The Dragon Soul looked at the being of Flame, responding neither servilely nor overbearingly.
Hearing this, the being of Flame could not argue further. Given the philosophy of the Dragon Clan, choosing such a way to repay a debt was perfectly acceptable. However, since he had encountered the situation now, he could not ignore a Dragon Soul drifting outside and not returning to the ancestral land.
Thinking of this, the being of Flame said to the Dragon Soul, "Since this young man has acquired the sword, it means your previous master has also departed this world. From today on, stay around me, and once my power is fully restored, I will take you back to the ancestral land; that is our home."
But the Dragon Soul shook its head at this moment and said to the being of Flame, "I will not return to the ancestral land. Now I am already one with the Destiny Sword. If I leave, the Destiny Sword will lose its true power. I swore long ago that as long as the sword remains, so shall I."
Seeing that the being of Flame wanted to speak again, the Dragon Soul continued directly, "Moreover, with your insight, can you not see how extraordinary this young man is? I have a feeling that this young man’s potential might be unimaginable and comparable to the Dragon God! I can tell you that I have closely studied this young man’s body. In ten years, from an ordinary person to a powerful figure like he is now, do you still think he is ordinary?"
Not wanting to leave the Destiny Sword, the Dragon Soul revealed Lin Feng’s secrets with no reservations. Being in a Dragon Soul state, there was no way to escape from the being of Flame, so persuading him to give up on taking it away was the best outcome. It did not want to leave the Destiny Sword and wished to witness Lin Feng step by step reach heights unimaginable to others!
After listening to the Dragon Soul, the being of Flame fell silent instantly. With his realm and strength, how could he not understand the Dragon Soul’s words? Yet he found the notion hard to believe. How could a mere human reach such a level beyond even his comprehension in just ten years? This... this seems impossible!
With a swift motion, the being of Flame appeared beside Lin Feng, his eyes like burning flames, with a beam seemingly capable of piercing through everything, scanning Lin Feng. After a scan, he was dumbfounded!
"You... You actually have a Cave Heaven Mansion?"
Staring at Lin Feng, the being of Flame could no longer remain calm. He couldn’t comprehend how a Cave Heaven Mansion, a one-of-a-kind treasure, could be possessed by what seemed like just a young boy. This truly was incredible! It must be known that throughout history, any individual possessing a Cave Heaven Mansion was a true Supreme Powerhouse, just like the Dragon God in the ancestral land of the Dragon Clan. This indicates that the young man before him indeed has immense potential, otherwise, it would be impossible to encounter such a miraculous Cave Heaven Mansion!
"Senior, I obtained it by accident while exploring other Cultivation Worlds in the past," Lin Feng modestly replied. Although he was displeased with the being of Flame’s earlier actions, he maintained his composure in the face of strength, especially since the Dragon Soul hadn’t returned to the Destiny Sword yet. At this moment, he could only answer honestly.
"By accident..." The being of Flame twitched at Lin Feng’s explanation, almost fainting from frustration. If Cave Heaven Mansions were so easy to obtain, then there wouldn’t be just a few true powerhouses in this world. Looking at Lin Feng, he pointed his finger, but left his thoughts unspoken.
Turning to the Dragon Soul, the being of Flame asked directly, "Do you really refuse to return to the ancestral land? That way, your lineage will be disqualified by the Dragon Clan!"
"It’s not that I refuse to return, but the time isn’t ripe. Someday, I will return on my own," the Dragon Soul replied calmly to the being of Flame.
"Since your mind is made up, I won’t persuade you further. By choosing this path, accompany this young man and carve out a new world!" The being of Flame, hearing the Dragon Soul’s determination, knew persuasion was futile and could only respond helplessly. Nonetheless, he suddenly offered, "Since we’ve encountered each other once, let me bestow upon you an opportunity."
After speaking, the fiery figure suddenly extended a flame, and before Lin Feng could even react, it enveloped him, making him feel as if he was about to be burned alive. He was about to use Gang Qi to drive these flames away from his body when he heard the voice of the Dragon Soul in his ear.
"Do not resist. Let this flame burn your body. This is the primordial fire of the Dragon Clan, and a dragon can only use it three times in a lifetime. If you endure this process, you can earn the title of an honorary member of the Dragon Clan because, at that time, your body will possess the Dragon Breath!"
After saying these words, the Dragon Soul moved and returned to the Destiny Sword. Immediately after, the sword flew back to Lin Feng’s hand, and the already deformed Destiny Sword was instantly absorbed into Lin Feng’s body, disappearing completely.
Originally intending to resist, Lin Feng realized from the Dragon Soul’s words that the fiery being was not trying to harm him. Forcing his body, he threw a handful of elixirs into his mouth and was then engulfed in endless pain. Without the Nine Splendors Clear Heart Pill he had prepared beforehand, not even Lin Feng’s strong willpower could withstand the pain of this fiery body refinement.
At this moment, the Fire Spirit, Xiao Huo, also fell into complete silence. It knew it couldn’t assist Lin Feng in this process and that he had to endure it alone.
In mid-air, Lin Feng’s clothes turned to ashes, leaving him bare and floating. Around him appeared golden flames, completely enveloping him...
The fiery figure, seeing Lin Feng at a balance between destruction and rebirth, nodded with satisfaction. It then transformed into a flame and merged back with the terrifying fire dragon in the air, as if it had never appeared.
Three days later, the golden Sunburst around Lin Feng gradually weakened, revealing his body. His entire being shimmered with a glass-like ethereal glow, and the surroundings appeared to enter a wondrous, illusionary world.
Suddenly, the remaining golden flames surged into Lin Feng’s body. He felt a powerful force merging with his body, his strength multiplying several times over!
After opening his eyes, Lin Feng’s eyes were now golden flames. In just a moment, the glass-like ethereal glow surrounding him disappeared, and even the golden flame in his eyes vanished, for he had completely mastered the fire power he had just acquired.
Feeling the overwhelming power within him, Lin Feng first conjured clothes to wear, then turned and bowed to the fire dragon in the enormous crater, expressing his gratitude, "Thank you, senior, for bestowing such a creation!"
"Go now, just don’t reveal anything about this place to the outside world. In another hundred to eighty years, my injuries will heal, and I will return to the ancestral land." The elderly voice echoed in Lin Feng’s mind, urging him to leave.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng didn’t say much more and, after bowing once more to the fire dragon, turned and left...
Throughout the journey, Lin Feng didn’t utter a word. It was only after leaving the Skyfire City’s boundary that he let out a sigh of relief. The presence of the fire dragon was truly terrifying. Even though it was merely injured and sleeping, its oppressive aura, which made him tremble, was a testament to its strength.
A few hours later, reflecting on the Skyfire City behind him, Lin Feng felt a deep sense of contemplation. He hadn’t expected to encounter such a great opportunity here. However, obtaining the Dragon Clan’s primordial fire for body refinement was a supreme opportunity not everyone had the chance to experience. He now felt his physical body brimming with strength, better than ever before, and this state filled him with satisfaction!
With a thought, Lin Feng employed the Thousand Miles in One Step technique...
......
The silent desert, deathly quiet, truly lived up to its name. There was absolutely no sound, not even the slightest rustle of wind or sand. Everything was eerily still, a silence so profound it was terrifying!
Gazing at the Silent Desert ahead, Lin Feng’s eye twitched slightly. He hadn’t expected it to be like this. Now he understood why it was called the Silent Desert; it was unnervingly quiet here...
With a thought, he immediately released Moyan and Xia Lalan from the Cave Heaven Mansion.
"What is this..." Xia Lalan exclaimed, looking at the deathly silent desert before her. She felt something was off but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
"Husband, this desert is very eerie. What is this place?" Moyan was relatively composed, and since Lin Feng had summoned them, he must have something to discuss. But for her, the first step was to understand the current situation.
