Chapter 024：Strong heart
Mo Ye lowered her head and glanced at herself. The dark shadow on her body made her feel a chill all over her body.
The stiff body hardly dared to move. Mo Ye could clearly sense that the other person was standing right in front of her, and that the other person was using the breath to lock her in place. But he couldn't see anyone at all.
"It was him." Nan Gong Ling's eyes flashed with a glint of surprise, revealing a shocked expression. He clearly hadn't expected that the owner of this shadow would show up at this time.
"Mo Zhe, come back," Mo Canglan shouted. As the Grand Elder of Yunhai Sect, he was over sixty years old and his knowledge was undoubtedly extensive. Naturally, he understood what the shadow that appeared before him meant.
This is the Shadow Spirit Soul, an extremely mysterious kind of Spirit Soul. It is said that after the owner of the Shadow Spirit Soul has undergone the awakening of their soul by the original spirit, they can completely merge their own figure into the shadow, making it seem as if only the shadow exists and no one can be seen, and even their breath can be concealed.
This kind of martial spirit is truly terrifying. Just imagine, if a member of the Shadow Sect were to assassinate you in the dark, how easy it would be. No one would want to offend a member of the Shadow Sect. Mo Canglan certainly wouldn't either.
Mo Ye's stiff steps moved slightly. Her face turned pale. She stepped back, not daring to let out a single breath. This was the intimidation brought about by her overwhelming strength.
"I wonder if you are some distinguished personage. Could you please show yourself and come forward for a look?" Mo Canglan addressed the shadow on the ground, "Since the shadow is there, the person must be there too."
"Take good care of your sect. Don't be indecisive about gains and losses. Such a face is not something you can afford to lose for your sect." The hoarse voice rang out again. Immediately, a gentle breeze blew past, and the shadow on the Death and Life Platform vanished abruptly, disappearing into thin air, leaving no trace at all.
"It's so terrifying." The crowd felt their hearts beating involuntarily a little faster. Taking a deep breath, they realized that this was the truly powerful Spirit Soul.
"Who on earth is this person? Judging from his tone, he seems to be addressing the lord-in-charge." Someone's hoarse voice rang out, murmuring in low tones. "What's going on here?"
"It should be one of our senior masters from the Yunhai Sect. Even the Grand Elder doesn't know about it. It seems that our Yunhai Sect is full of capable people."
Nan Gong Ling gave a bitter smile. Here, it's probably only he who knows who the other person is.
Thinking of what he had done, Nan Gong Ling felt a bit ashamed. When he made decisions, he weighed the pros and cons and always took the clan's interests into account. However, he forgot about the clan's reputation. Indeed, he was always worried about gains and losses.
"Brother Pu, let's just call it a day for today. You go back now. Take my greetings to Lord Chu." Nan Gong Ling looked at Chu Zhanpeng and said.
"Stop it?" Lin Qian was stunned for a moment. Was she supposed to just leave like this and let Lin Feng go free?
"Brother-in-arms," Lin Qian whispered. Chu Zhanpeng's expression was unpredictable. Then he chuckled softly and said, "Lord of the Southern Palace, I've heard that the Yunhai Sect is full of prodigies. I have a yearning to compete with you. I wonder if any of the disciples of the Yunhai Sect would be willing to have a go at it with me."
Chu Zhanpeng's tone was gentle, but his meaning was that any disciple of Yunhai Sect could come and do as they pleased. It was quite obvious that he was doing this because his purpose hadn't been achieved and he was thus provoking Yunhai Sect.
Lin Feng saw this and guessed the whole story. Lin Qian then pulled this strange young man to the important person of Yunhai Sect.
"Da Peng Young Master has made quite a stir among the people of Snow Moon. As for me, a disciple of Yunhai Sect, I still need to improve and gain more experience. Maybe we can have a competition with Da Peng Young Master in the future." Nan Gong Ling shook his head and said.
"Lord Nan Gong..."
"Are all the members of the Hao Yue Sect like this, lacking in proper respect and courtesy?" Chu Zhanpeng was about to speak again. However, Nan Gong Ling changed his gentle manner and his entire body emitted a cold and stern aura. He stared directly at Chu Zhanpeng. As the leader of the Yun Hai Sect, he had already successfully expelled guests twice by tactful persuasion. This was already giving Chu Zhanpeng enough respect.
However, Chu Zhanpeng was probably because of his outstanding talent and his habit of being arrogant that he disregarded even the face of the leader of Yunhai Sect, the Master of the Moonlight Sect. Although the strength of the Moonlight Sect was stronger than that of Yunhai Sect, Chu Zhanpeng was still one generation younger than Nan Gong Ling.
Chu Zhanpeng's face turned pale. Then, an eerie smile appeared on his face again. He said coldly, "Since that's the case, I, Chu Zhanpeng, shall bid you farewell."
The colossal Great Peng Spirit Soul soared up, creating a whirlwind. Chu Zhanpeng held Lin Qian tightly and the Great Peng's two wings flapped wildly. In an instant, Chu Zhanpeng's figure rushed forward and flew over the crowd of the Yunhai Sect above. The strong whirlwind blew the crowd into countless directions, causing the scene to be extremely chaotic for a moment.
"Today's incident, I, Chu, have recorded it." Da Peng soared up into the sky. Only then did those who were dodging manage to regain their balance. They felt ashamed in their hearts, for this was sheer contempt.
"Lin Feng, on the day of the annual meeting, I'll make you regret it. Unless you stay away from Yunhai Sect forever." Lin Qian's voice followed.
Looking at the soaring Great Peng, Lin Feng sneered in his heart. Does he really need to hide himself in Yunhai Sect?
Nan Gong Ling looked at the crowd lying on the ground. His expression was not very pleasant. Although Lord Daopeng was arrogant, his strength and talent were truly beyond the reach of the disciples of Yunhai Sect.
"Within five years, I hope that a figure comparable to the Great Peng Prince can emerge from the Yunhai Sect." Nan Gong Ling felt something stirring within him. The Great Peng Prince, the sixth among the eight major princes of Xue Yue Kingdom, dared to act arrogantly and carelessly in front of the Yunhai Sect. This was indeed a misfortune for the Yunhai Sect. I wonder how strong the other seven princes are. I don't know.
"Let's call it a day for today. Everyone, let's go our separate ways." Nan Gong Ling waved his hand and addressed the crowd, then prepared to leave.
Mo Ye didn't move her feet. She stared at Lin Feng. At this moment, Lin Feng had already developed a grudge against Mo Ye. Of course, Mo Ye also remembered Lin Feng, the young man who had captured her heart.
"I say we should just call it a day for today," Nan Gong Ling said, his voice rising in volume. He glared at Mo Ye who was staring at Lin Feng, and made her stiffen. Only then did she raise her pace and follow Nan Gong Ling.
"It seems that I'll have to be cautious of this person from now on." Lin Feng felt wary. At present, his strength was too weak and he was far inferior to Mo Ye, the senior elder of the sect.
He lifted his feet and Lin Feng was about to leave as well, but suddenly a voice reached his ears directly.
"To be respected by others, one must possess sufficient strength and talent. Otherwise, even if you suffer a little humiliation, no one will sympathize with you even if you die."
Lin Feng's steps hesitated slightly. This was what Nan Gong Ling said, and the words reached his ears directly through a private communication.
"Of course I understand," Lin Feng chuckled softly in his heart. He lifted his feet and took each step with unwavering determination, as if each step was a stair leading to the path of strength.
...
In a secluded stone cave on the cliff of Tiansheng Peak, Lin Feng was sitting cross-legged. The primordial qi of heaven and earth condensed into thin, soft white rays, continuously penetrating into Lin Feng's body, strengthening his internal qi and enhancing his tendons, bones and flesh.
In the Qi-Wu realm, martial practitioners cultivate their martial skills and internal energy. They imbue the primordial qi of heaven and earth into their bodies, condensing them into tendons and bones, expanding their blood vessels, making their strength more powerful and their bodies more perfect, and storing internal energy.
The "Qi Wu" realm is the first and fundamental realm for martial arts practitioners. Only by laying a solid foundation can one continuously improve and become stronger in the subsequent training process.
Lin Feng, he urgently needs strength and to become powerful. He needs to break through the stage of "Qi-Wu" as soon as possible and step into the realm of "Shen-Wu". Only by entering the realm of "Shen-Wu" can he become an Inner Sect disciple and be regarded as a true disciple of the sect, deserving respect.
Entering the Lingwu Realm, it is said that one's Spirit Soul can undergo the Soul Rebirth, allowing it to undergo a qualitative change and become even more powerful.
Just like the Great Peng Spirit Soul of Great Peng Jun, it could only soar through the sky after experiencing the Primordial Awakening. Similarly, Lin Qian's Spirit Soul that combines Ice and Fire underwent a transformation after the Primordial Awakening.
And Lin Feng believed that once the dark martial spirit capable of enhancing all abilities was awakened through his soul foundation, it would become even more powerful.
Therefore, after Han Man's injury had healed, Lin Feng came alone to one of the eight pillars of the Heavenly Peak of the Eight Pillars, and found this secluded cliffside cave. He devoted himself to meditation and self-cultivation, hoping to enter the realm of Spirit-Body Transformation as soon as possible.
