Chapter 1573 - 852: News
Five hundred thousand contribution points is still a huge number for Lin Feng. However, the reward for discovering the Vermilion Fruit has been granted — each person received a sixth-grade medicinal material. Lin Feng specifically used the granted ten thousand contribution points to select something related to the soul.
This immediately awakened Hua Shengmi for a few minutes.
"Oh, it seems you’ve obtained some medicinal materials again, which awakened me." A weak voice sounded again.
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Yes, but getting fifth-grade medicinal materials, especially those related to the soul, might be a bit difficult. I have good news for you: I’ve unlocked the first layer seal."
Then, Lin Feng explained some things to Hua Shengmi, who weakly said, "Anything that can arouse the response of the East Emperor Bell and the Spirit Tree must be extraordinary. Even the master of the Ancient Tomb buried there probably doesn’t know about it."
"That, I don’t know." Lin Feng then took out the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and the Wordless Tablet for Hua Shengmi to appraise.
Seeing these two items, Hua Shengmi, after hearing Lin Feng’s explanation about the relationship involving the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, understood the connection between them.
"This Jade Ruyi’s artifact spirit is still asleep. It will only awaken when your cultivation reaches a certain level." Hua Shengmi told Lin Feng.
"I understand." Lin Feng said.
Then Hua Shengmi said to Lin Feng, "As for this stone tablet, it is the Wordless Tablet. I have some impressions of it. This stone tablet is an extraordinary treasure close to a divine weapon. It allows a person to comprehend the Dao of Heaven and Earth, perfecting their cultivation technique, offering immeasurable benefits to you. You have the Heavenly Creation Jade Scroll of the Heavenly Venerate and the Heavenly Destiny Seven Swords of the Taoist Venerable; you can hold them to try comprehending, and you can also meditate on your own cultivation technique based on this stone tablet."
"And there are nine Wordless Tablets in the world. If you can find them and integrate them, it would greatly benefit your comprehension of martial arts. It is said that if you integrate all nine tablets, the insights you can gain from this Wordless Tablet will increase, and its level will also rise."
Hua Shengmi continued to speak with Lin Feng for a while, before the voice gradually faded and it fell into unconsciousness again.
And next time, using a sixth-grade soul-type medicinal material might not be able to awaken Hua Shengmi.
"Comprehend?" Lin Feng muttered to himself.
Then, facing the stone tablet, he took out a fragment of the East Emperor Bell, holding it in his hand, standing before the stone tablet, his eyes half-opened and half-closed, nearly squinting to a slit, then activated his cultivation technique. Gradually, his mind ascended to infinite heights, and then, in a trance, Lin Feng saw an ancient bronze bell surrounded by a long river of time.
The long river of time was divided into upstream and downstream, the upstream being the past, a single path, while the downstream branched into countless streams, large and small, representing infinite possibilities for the future.
And then, a surge of time power instantly invaded his body. At this moment, a bell tolled, and Lin Feng awakened instantly, finding his body’s True Qi completely depleted.
"Wow, just one comprehension, and I’m completely drained," Lin Feng chuckled bitterly. However, he gained a more profound understanding of time, which was of immense benefit to Lin Feng.
After channeling energy to recover for a while, the True Qi of the Longevity Technique was ceaseless and swiftly restored him. He then took out the Taoist Venerable Jade Pendant and once more immersed his mind.
In that instant, Lin Feng seemed to see a world, from birth to prosperity to decline, the entire natural evolution. The Dao can be described, but it is not the constant Dao; names can be named, but they are not constant names. The Dao seemed to encompass everything, producing a sense of the Dao giving birth to one, one giving birth to two, two giving birth to three, three giving birth to all things, witnessing the transition from nothingness to existence and from existence to nothingness.
Then, a sword light flew from beyond the heavens, piercing straight at the heart, directly towards the self, isolating him to face this incomparably sharp, incomparably pure sword light all alone.
Lin Feng’s complexion turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood instantly — this was the first sword of the Heavenly Destiny Seven Swords, slashing the Dao to see oneself, along with the complete doctrine.
Reflecting on this sword, his head felt like it was about to split with pain. However, his cultivation in swordsmanship was rapidly advancing since this was the most straightforward confrontation with the complete doctrine.
This time, it took half a night for Lin Feng to recover fully. Then he took out the Heavenly Venerate Jade Slip, planning to meditate on the Dao of Creation.
Similarly, he immersed his mind, as if he arrived in a place without front, without back, without up, without down, out of sight of time, as if the world had not yet appeared.
Then he saw a giant, seemingly smiling slightly at him, who then picked up something indistinct, like a giant axe, and swung it forcefully.
Immediately, the heavens and earth were split open. This single axe cut through everything, cleaving a future, carving out a world. Then the giant fell, and three Daoists appeared. At this moment, the three Daoists glanced at him, causing his consciousness to collapse, spitting out another mouthful of blood, and it seemed that some injuries remained in his body, his mental state slightly shattered.
This kind of power, that kind of gaze, it was simply irresistible.
Pangu splitting the heavens and earth apart, the original oneness transformed into the three pure ones, so that’s what it was.
Before falling into unconsciousness, Lin Feng collected everything back and then fainted, unaware of anything.
"Junior Brother Lin, wake up, Junior Brother Lin, wake up." Seemingly the voice of Xia Youyu penetrated into Lin Feng’s mind, rousing a thread of awakening in him.
