Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Swipe.

After obliterating the giant phantom formed by the Divine Sense of the Blood Sky Demon Venerable, the Xuanming Demon Book turned into a streak of flowing light and rushed into Lin Feng’s Dantian, once again lying dormant.

“Let’s hurry!”

The Fire Kirin said in a deep voice.

Lin Feng did not dare hesitate. He quickly got up, rushed to the giant cauldron, grabbed the mysterious black Beast Egg, then absorbed the Qiongqi Avatar of the Ancient Saint Emperor into his body, unfolded his Golden Body Feathered Wings, and rushed outside with the Fire Kirin.

“Roar…”

The Blood Corpse Army roared furiously, swiftly chasing after Lin Feng and the Fire Kirin.

The Ghost Army also floated in.

Their speed was as fast as lightning.

Swoosh.

Soon, Lin Feng and the Fire Kirin rushed out of the castle enveloped by the black light dome.

The Blood Corpse Army and the Ghost Army could not break through the black light dome and emitted waves of furious roars.

“Phew.”

It was only then that Lin Feng finally took a deep breath.

He and the Fire Kirin had escaped from the Underworld.

With a splash, Lin Feng lay directly on the ground, breathing heavily, still feeling the intense, burning pain throughout his body caused by that damned cursed pearl.

Thinking of the stubborn pearl, Lin Feng now felt a headache coming on.

…

After resting for a while, Lin Feng and the Fire Kirin flew towards the direction of the Azure Cloud Sect.

A day later, Lin Feng and the Fire Kirin returned to the Azure Cloud Sect.

“Fengzi, where have you been these past few days? Our Peak Master has appeared.”

Tian Zhongdao excitedly said upon seeing Lin Feng, knowing that this guy did not stutter when excited.

Lin Feng was surprised. He had not expected the Peak Master to appear and said, “I went out to take care of some things. By the way, have you all met the Peak Master?”

“Yes, we new disciples all went to meet the Peak Master. Our Peak Master was quite fearsome in his younger days and was the most likely to become a figure of Great Ability, but unfortunately, he was injured. If the Peak Master had not been injured back then and had ascended to the Great Ability level, our Heavenly Repair Peak would not have declined to its current state.”

Tian Zhongdao sighed.

Lin Feng nodded and said, “I will go now and see if I can meet the Peak Master.”

“Alright, go ahead,” Tian Zhongdao said.

“Eh, who is this guy?” Just as he was leaving, Tian Zhongdao saw the Fire Kirin and started to murmur.

Knowing the temperament of the Fire Kirin, Lin Feng quickly pulled Tian Zhongdao away, saying, “Picked it up on the way, an unknown Spiritual Beast, nothing strange about it.”

Tian Zhongdao did not mind and left with Lin Feng.

Lin Feng first met with Elder Qiao Yunqiu, intending to meet the Peak Master, naturally needing Elder Qiao Yunqiu’s introduction.

Elder Qiao Yunqiu was slightly surprised upon seeing Lin Feng, possibly not having expected Lin Feng to appear here.

When she learned that Lin Feng had left, she thought Lin Feng had fled Heavenly Repair Peak like the other disciples; now it seemed she had misunderstood Lin Feng. Seeing Lin Feng return, Elder Qiao Yunqiu was still very pleased.

Lin Feng said, “I had to leave due to some matters the other day and couldn’t meet the Peak Master. After returning and hearing about it, I came to see the elder, hoping the elder could introduce me.”

“New disciples meeting the Peak Master upon entry is the usual rule. Although you missed the earlier opportunity to meet the Peak Master, the Peak Master has not yet closed off for retreat. I will take you to meet the Peak Master.”

Elder Qiao Yunqiu stood up.

“Thank you, Elder.” Lin Feng bowed in respect.

Lin Feng followed behind Elder Qiao Yunqiu and, at the Heart Purify Palace, he met Sect Master Que Butian.

Twenty years ago, he was acclaimed as the number one talent of the Azure Cloud Sect.

His stature was average, yet he was quite grand, a very handsome middle-aged man.

Only his complexion was somewhat pathologically pale.

“Senior brother, this is Lin Feng,” said Qiao Yunqiu.

“Disciple Lin Feng, greets Peak Master!” Lin Feng saluted Que Butian.

Seeing Lin Feng, Que Butian’s pupils sharply constricted for a moment before returning to their calm state.

He smiled and said, “We’re all family here, there’s no need for so much ceremony, stand up.”

“Yes,” Lin Feng got to his feet.

“I will take my leave first then.” Elder Qiao Yunqiu bowed slightly to Que Butian and then exited.

Que Butian pointed to a seat in front of him and said, “Take a seat here and have a cup of tea.”

Lin Feng replied affirmatively and sat down with propriety.

On the table, there was a small stove on which fragrant tea was boiling, its mild aroma wafting through the air.

Que Butian did not put on the airs of a Peak Master; he was very serene. Sitting next to Que Butian, Lin Feng also felt calmer.

It was as if he was in a quiet jungle, merging with the lush greenery around him.

This was a very strange feeling that shocked Lin Feng; he felt that Que Butian was truly no ordinary person.

“The path of cultivation is long and winding, who knows where it ends? People always say longevity is desirable, but even with longevity, one cannot escape aging and will eventually decay, ending up with nothing. Yet despite that, countless persist tirelessly, willing to go through life and death without regret. Do you know the true meaning of cultivation?” Que Butian looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng had not expected Que Butian to ask him such a question. He cultivated to become stronger, never considering what the true meaning of cultivation was.

“Disciple does not know,” Lin Feng shook his head.

“It’s the heart,” said Que Butian.

“Heart?” Lin Feng was puzzled.

“Tao Heart…” continued Que Butian. “In cultivation, one must form one’s own Tao Heart; steadfastly, without disturbance from external things, unimpeded by difficulties, only then can one continue on this path unyieldingly.”

Lin Feng was moved; this was the first time he had heard such a discussion, even the Fire Kirin had never talked about the “Tao Heart.”

But Lin Feng did not know what “Tao Heart” was, and he asked Que Butian for guidance.

“I have read hate, obsession, and the reasons for your persistence in your eyes…”

Que Butian stated, “These are not enough to constitute your Tao Heart; they are motivation at best, not the Tao Heart itself.”

“Disciple does not understand, what is the Tao Heart?” Lin Feng enquired.

“Every individual has a different path,” Que Butian said with a slight smile, “Try this tea and see how it tastes.”

Lin Feng tasted the tea, and it felt incredibly refreshing; then, a warm surge swept through his entire body, This was no ordinary tea.

Lin Feng talked with Que Butian for a long time, and it was late into the night when he finally took his leave.

Que Butian was truly extraordinary; one could tell from the conversation that he might have perceived something but did not reveal it.

Returning to his place, Lin Feng discussed “Tao Heart” with the Fire Kirin.

The Fire Kirin said, “It seems that Que Butian is indeed extraordinary to discuss the Tao Heart with you. I cannot discuss this with you because forming the Tao Heart entirely depends on oneself. Some people, even if they have cultivated to a great ability level, might find it difficult to form their own Tao Heart.”

This deeply moved Lin Feng. Even now, he could not fully grasp what Que Butian had meant by “Tao Heart.”

Lin Feng took out the mysterious Beast Egg and studied it with the Fire Kirin, but they could not determine what type of Fierce Beast it came from; however, that Blood Sky Demon Venerable had spent a colossal price to incubate this Beast Egg, obviously, this Beast Egg was extraordinary.

Since they could not immediately discover the origin of the Beast Egg, Lin Feng stowed it away, hoping to find clues about it in the future.

In the quiet of the night, Lin Feng sat cross-legged, beginning to meditate on the Tao character “Extinguish.”
