Permanent Martial Arts

When Lin Feng returned to the ground, he actually encountered many Pangolin Beasts and Terrestrial Ants. However, be it the Pangolin Beasts or Terrestrial Ants, all of them ignored Lin Feng, as if they had not discovered him at all.

Hence, Lin Feng’s journey back was exceptionally smooth. He quickly passed through the passageways and returned to the surface.

“There!”

“Brother Lin Feng, are you all right?”

As soon as Lin Feng returned to the ground, he saw a few figures. They were the Chief Commander of the North Mountain Base, Mo Lei, and the other three Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists. From the looks of it, they must have been waiting for some time.

Lin Feng smiled and said, “I’m fine. There were close shaves, but no actual danger.”

“By the way, what did you find underground? All the Terrestrial Ants on the ground have disappeared, and they retreated in a very orderly manner. According to my experience, it should be the Queen Ant’s order. That’s why I’m worried about Brother Lin Feng and came here early to wait. Had Brother Lin Feng still not returned, I was prepared to go underground to support you.”

Although Mo Lei was a little arrogant, he was a fairly decent man. He kept his word of waiting for three days. Once the three days were up, he would immediately go underground to search for Lin Feng.

It had to be known that, according to Mo Lei’s guess, there was a Queen Ant underground. Faced with a huge number of Terrestrial Ants, once the Terrestrial Ants became organized with a Queen Ant, forget four Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists, even 40 Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists might not be able to gain any advantage against them.

This was especially so since it was the anthill of the Terrestrial Ants underground.

Lin Feng had long come up with an answer. He said with a solemn expression, “There’s nothing unusual underground. I did discover the Queen Ant, but something seemed to have happened to that Queen Ant. It seemed to have recovered only not long ago. There are just too many Terrestrial Ants underground, and the Queen Ant had recovered. I was afraid that something would go wrong, so I returned to the surface.”

“As expected, there’s a problem with the Queen Ant, but it shouldn’t be a big problem. It would have been very dangerous to continue staying underground.”

Rumble.

As soon as Mo Lei finished speaking, the ground shook violently. Immediately after, the underground tunnel that Lin Feng had just come out of collapsed and was completely blocked.

When Mo Lei saw the collapsed tunnel, he said with lingering fear, “Fortunately Brother Lin Feng came out. Otherwise, once the tunnel collapsed, you would have been trapped underground completely.”

Being trapped underground was basically a death sentence.

Although Lin Feng was also very surprised, he guessed that it was probably Longbetham’s order to completely block the passage, so that no one could discover the secret of the spaceship.

“All right, let’s go back first.”

Lin Feng did not dare to inquire Longbetham in public, so he returned to the North Mountain Base with Mo Lei and the others.

When the people from the North Mountain Base and South Mountain Base saw Lin Feng return, they were also overjoyed. Previously, when they heard that Lin Feng had entered the underground alone, the martial artists from the South Mountain Base almost clashed with the martial artists from the North Mountain Base. They felt that Lin Feng entering the underground alone was clearly a “conspiracy” by the North Mountain Base.

Of course, in the end, it was proven that they were overthinking things. However, this also reflected Lin Feng’s current prestige in the South Mountain Base. In a short period of time, Lin Feng had become an indispensable figure of the South Mountain Base.

“Brother Lin Feng and the martial artists of the South Mountain Base, everyone in the North Mountain Base is very grateful to you for coming all the way here to support our North Mountain Base and resolving the crisis for us!”

Mo Lei was also very excited. If not for Lin Feng this time, the North Mountain Base would really be in danger. Hence, his gratitude towards Lin Feng was sincere.

“Brother Mo Lei, you don’t have to say this. Your North Mountain Base has supported our South Mountain Base many times too in the past. Currently, we are the only two bases near South Mountain City. All the more reason we should watch out for each other.”

“Haha, you’re right. Watch out for each other!”

Mo Lei laughed loudly and put away his contempt for the South Mountain Base from then on. He knew that as long as Lin Feng was in the South Mountain Base, the South Mountain Base would definitely not be inferior to the North Mountain Base.

Lin Feng and the people from the South Mountain Base did not stay in the North Mountain Base for long. Lin Feng still wanted to go back and “digest” his gains this time, especially the opportunities he obtained underground.

Hence, the South Mountain Base quickly bade farewell to the North Mountain Base under Lin Feng’s lead.

After returning to the South Mountain Base, Lin Feng chose to enter “seclusion” immediately. The people in the South Mountain Base were not too surprised. They were already used to Chief Commander Lin Feng’s frequent “seclusion”.

In the secret chamber, Lin Feng first counted his gains.

Lin Feng had gained a lot from this trip to the North Mountain Base. In the battle at the North Mountain Base, he had killed 21 Terrestrial Ant demons alone, earning him a total of 105 merit value.

Including the original 242 merit value, Lin Feng now had a total of 347 merit value. The speed at which he earned merit value was like a rocket. Even ordinary Divine Realm martial artists might not be able to earn merit value as quickly as Lin Feng.

The merit value earned was secondary. The real boon was the “opportunity” underground, especially the Combat Body Guidance Technique and the Mental Guidance Technique. They almost subverted the mainstream martial arts that martial artists cultivated now!

That was the cultivation system of the universe. It was a cultivation technique passed down by the mighty entity that dominated the cosmos. When Lin Feng received the Combat Body Guidance Technique, the scenes he saw had already deeply shaken him.

It was impossible for him to give up on this powerful cultivation technique and continue cultivating martial arts.

Unfortunately, he had missed the opportunity to condense his combat body during his first life transition. Now, he could only cultivate the Mental Guidance Technique. And this Mental Guidance Technique seemed to be the most important thing instead.

“Longbetham, where are you?”

Lin Feng raised his arm and shouted at the genetic fusion device.

Buzz.

Longbetham face appeared on the genetic fusion device. It said unhappily, “Do not disturb me if there’s nothing important. I have been slumbering for so many years. Now that I have finally emerged, I must take a good look around.”

Lin Feng felt a little helpless. He couldn’t control Longbetham. The other party was a mechanical lifeform, and its technological level far exceeded the current level of human society. There was nothing he could do about Longbetham.

At the very least, Lin Feng could not understand the current way in which Longbetham “survived” in the networks.

“Longbetham, is it okay for me to cultivate the Mental Guidance Technique now?”

Although Lin Feng had obtained the Mental Guidance Technique, he still had to ask for Longbetham’s opinion before cultivating it. After all, Lin Feng knew almost nothing about the cosmic cultivation system.

“Of course there is no problem. Your mental power is actually not bad. It should not be a problem for you to master the first level. Just cultivate diligently according to the Mental Guidance Technique Master provided you. All right, if there is nothing else, do not disturb me.”

With that, Longbetham disappeared again.

“Mechanical lifeforms are so miraculous.”

Lin Feng sighed sincerely. He actually had a lot of questions about mechanical lifeforms, but Longbertan was “very busy” for the time being, so there was nothing he could do.

He’d better cultivate the Mental Guidance Technique first. Only by breaking through in the Mental Guidance Technique would Lin Feng be able to condense his combat body during his second life transition in the future.

Hence, Lin Feng closed his eyes and immersed himself in the memory of the Mental Guidance Technique.
