Chapter 403: Enlightenment, Advancement!
Dead?
Where is this?
This place is so strange!
Lin Feng had entered a very peculiar state, one that he himself could not comprehend. Here, he suddenly felt that everything around him was green, endlessly green. As Lin Feng stood in this world, he felt extremely bewildered. Could this be the underworld after death? It didn’t seem quite right!
And yet, the pain in his body still lingered, assuring Lin Feng that he hadn’t died – after all, he knew that the dead wouldn’t have sensations. So what was happening now? Lin Feng was confused and clueless about why he was experiencing this situation.
Suddenly!
Lin Feng sensed a very strange phenomenon. In this world filled with green, the broken trees seemed to be breathing, gasping for air. He even felt those faint wisps of life force that seemed ready to dissipate at any moment. This feeling was truly curious...
His mind naturally drifted back to his experiences on the island. He had once asked his master about his current level, but his master had told him that he didn’t need to divide himself according to the conventional levels of the world because his path was different from the others’. Such divisions had no meaning for Lin Feng. His master emphasized one thing: to comprehend the sea, the sky, the air, the trees, and all the myriad things. Could it be... Could it possibly be that this was the essence of all things in the world, the essence of plants?
During his four years on the island, Lin Feng had endured countless life-and-death ordeals. Each time, he had glimpsed some unprecedented connections between all things in the universe, which was truly wondrous. And to comprehend those things spoken by his master was indeed incredibly difficult! Although Lin Feng had already realized much in his perilous journey, there were still some elusive things, a feeling he couldn’t quite put into words, as if his understanding was always just short of what his master had described...
However, today’s feeling was something he had never experienced before. This sensation was very comforting for Lin Feng because, in such a calm and warm aura, he felt a very warm sensation, making him naturally want to savor this subtle feeling. Gradually, he felt as if he had entered an indescribable state, becoming so ethereal, the plants breathing in tranquility, now slowly fading away...
Suddenly, a bout of intense pain jerked Lin Feng back to reality. Glancing at his wounds, Lin Feng didn’t care at all. To others it might have been a matter of life and death hundreds of times over, but for him, this kind of thing happened too often on the island. Without even thinking, he let his Exclusive Supreme Soaring Decree circulate, quickly repairing his body.
Dead? Lin Feng did not want to die. He had gone through so much on the island, so many trials of life and death, just to become stronger, to become a miraculous being like his master. No matter what, Lin Feng was not going to let himself die. There were still so many things he hadn’t done. Moreover, his parents were so good to him; he couldn’t bear the thought of dying. Ding Wan’er, Shen Yao, Leng Mei – he couldn’t bear to leave them either. How could he possibly die now!
The midnight breeze was still somewhat cool, but it brought to Lin Feng the scent of grass, that scent belonging to the forest, to the small grasses. And from within, Lin Feng experienced something he had never felt before. It turned out that his master had spoken the truth: all things in the world have life. Lin Feng was feeling the very breath of life from the plants, a sensation that became clearer and clearer, leading him to gradually lose himself.
This was the essence of all things in the world that his master had told him to comprehend. Lin Feng finally had his epiphany at that moment, realizing that these plants were all alive. No wonder his master always told him never to destroy nature. It was because all these plants had life, albeit weak, but they truly existed. Every single thing had its own reason for existing – the air, the sky, the oceans, the Earth...
All of a sudden, Lin Feng once again realized something he hadn’t understood before, advancing in such a peculiar environment into an unparalleled new world!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng sensed the rare Spiritual Energy that existed between heaven and Earth, mentioned by his master before. He could feel within the world around him spheres of green, not many, but Lin Feng could definitely feel the energy contained within them. Yes, these were the Spiritual Energy that his master had spoken of; they truly existed!
Although the world had hardly any Spiritual Energy left that could be directly absorbed, now, in these circumstances, Lin Feng was attracting the fleeting spirit of the damaged plants with his extraordinary perception. The Spiritual Energy that belonged to the plants, driven by his Exclusive Supreme Soaring Decree, began to gather towards him. Lin Feng found it even more amazing when the first green orb touched him and instantly disappeared inside his body, bringing an inexplicably comfortable feeling.
Being able to absorb it directly was simply incredible! With this thought, Lin Feng started to circulate his Exclusive Supreme Soaring Decree fully. Instantly, his body became like a black hole, madly attracting the Spiritual Energy from the plants throughout the valley. With each Spirit Energy ball that entered his body, Lin Feng felt some strength restored, and this strength was different, much more majestic!
At this moment, Lin Feng finally had a true epiphany that this was the power beyond the True Qi of ordinary cultivators Master had spoken of—a higher force. The Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth was so depleted and was about to dissipate even from the essence of plants and vegetation. Yet, it could still be so astonishing. Is this it...?
...
Uncle Li was pondering who Lin Feng’s master could be, but after considering every expert of S level and above he had met or hadn’t met, he still couldn’t think of anyone with pale golden True Qi. How on earth did Lin Feng become such an unfathomable expert? It was all too strange!
Just as Uncle Li was feeling utterly baffled, another incredible scene unfolded before him!
Suddenly, countless green light spots appeared in the valley. These pale green spots emitted a soft glow, covering the entire area.
What... what is happening? What are these green light spots? Witnessing the unbelievable scene before him, Uncle Li was completely flabbergasted. He had no idea what was happening. How could so many green light spots suddenly appear? Faced with such an eerie occurrence, Uncle Li didn’t know what to make of it. He could only instinctively circulate his Cultivation Power to protect himself, in case of any unforeseen circumstances...
While Uncle Li was still in shock, more light orbs like these started appearing in the valley. Soon, these orbs spread throughout the valley.
Then, as Uncle Li watched agape, uncertain of what was going on, all the light spots rushed towards Lin Feng, who was lying on the ground. Upon colliding with Lin Feng’s body, they disappeared completely. With every light spot that hit him, Lin Feng’s body flickered with a flash of green light. Eventually, the spots collided so rapidly that Lin Feng became like a dazzling green crystal, shining so brightly that Uncle Li couldn’t help but close his eyes!
My God! What... what in the world is happening? Wasn’t Lin Feng almost dead just now? How could something like this occur?
Uncle Li was now completely dumbfounded. What was happening before his eyes was not only something he had never seen but also something he had never heard of. It was all too strange. What on earth were these light spots, and what was happening to Lin Feng...
In a short while, all the light spots in the valley disappeared, as did the green glow on Lin Feng’s body.
"Hmm, I’m back," Lin Feng murmured to himself, then slowly got up from the ground under Uncle Li’s stunned gaze.
"You?" Uncle Li looked at Lin Feng with an expression as if he had seen a ghost, watching as he slowly stood to his feet right in front of him. Lin Feng had just been beaten within an inch of his life a moment ago. How could such a bizarre incident bring him back to life, and even more astounding, all of Lin Feng’s wounds had vanished. What was going on? How did his wounds disappear?
Impossible! This can’t be possible! It must be a mistake, Uncle Li thought. Once again, he began to look at Lin Feng from head to toe, hoping that what he had just seen was an illusion. But no matter how hard Uncle Li tried to convince himself of what he saw, he could not find Lin Feng’s wounds again. In other words, Lin Feng’s injuries had healed!
My God, this is too miraculous... How on earth is this possible! How can such severe injuries disappear just like that!
Now, looking at Lin Feng before him, Uncle Li had no idea what to say. What had occurred today had surpassed all limits of imagination, and he simply had no words to describe it...
"You don’t have to say anything. Not dying just means I’m lucky. Now you can prepare to die," Lin Feng said, looking at Uncle Li. He clearly understood what he meant, but felt there was no need to explain. If he hadn’t finally grasped the natural aura his master spoke of at the moment of near death, felt the thin breath of life between heaven and earth, and achieved a breakthrough to the next realm, he might have really been in danger, possibly even dead by now.
However, he had been resurrected from the dead, and most importantly, he had absorbed the primordial Spiritual Energy from Earth that was nearly depleted, due to this breakthrough. This energy had completely healed his body. Now all that was left to do was to kill this Uncle Li before him as payback for almost murdering him just moments before!
