"With complete confidence, I fear there are few among the younger generation in this Ancient Realm who are my match. Even those disciples from the Ancient Sect—I have the confidence to battle them. As for the Alchemy Dao, I am even more assured!"
Lin Huo’s mouth curled into a smile full of confidence.
"With your current strength, combined with the Saint Fire and the Sifang Divine Cauldron you have mastered, dealing with a strong one at the Seventh Layer of the Life and Death Realm shouldn’t be a problem."
Feng Wuya said.
"Yes, if I use a secret technique and all my trump cards, I dare to fight even a strong one at the Ninth Level of the Life-and-Death Realm!"
Lin Huo said in a deep voice.
"Very well. In this battle at the Dan Tower, you are to take down a person named Xiao Yifeng. Your task is to eliminate him during the martial duel!"
Feng Wuya said directly.
"Xiao Yifeng..."
"Yes, Master!"
Lin Huo murmured to himself, then nodded at Feng Wuya.
"However, this person is not simple. I will give you something to ensure that you can kill him!"
Feng Wuya said.
"Master, even facing someone at the Ninth Level of the Life-and-Death Realm, I can fight them. Dealing with that Xiao Yifeng should be a breeze, right?"
"Could he be stronger than me? When did the Alchemist Association produce such a strong expert?"
A trace of bafflement and confusion flashed in Lin Huo’s eyes.
"You don’t need to know these things. His strength is indeed exceptional. Just understand what your task is—and after the battle at the Dan Tower, I must see his corpse!"
Feng Wuya said sternly.
"Yes, Master, I will definitely kill him. As long as he is not a strong one at the Dominant Realm, I will make sure he dies by my hand even if it means risking my life!"
Lin Huo nodded with a determined expression.
"Very good!"
Feng Wuya said, his heart cold as he thought: Boy, I will let you know that you are not even as good as my disciple, let alone match for me!
Meanwhile, at the Formation Master Association in the Holy City, Wu Chengde and his grandson Wu Yinghui sat together discussing matters on the Array Master Tournament.
"Grandfather, the participating list submitted by the President of the Wind Cloud Kingdom Formation Master Branch lists Xiao Yifeng. Could it be that this boy will also participate in the Array Master Tournament?"
Wu Yinghui looked at Wu Chengde and said.
"He is also a formation master and has a good relationship with Liu Sanming, so his participation is not surprising."
Wu Chengde said lightly.
"Then..."
"What are you worried about? Afraid you’d be outdone by him?"
Wu Chengde glanced at his grandson.
"Of course not. Although my martial path may not match his, in terms of formations, I will not lose to him!"
Wu Yinghui snorted immediately.
"Rest assured, I’ve arranged everything. Even if he participates, the first place in the Array Master Tournament will still be yours."
"This will not change, and if he does compete, the only result for him is a dead end, which will also be considered revenge for you!"
Wu Chengde took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"Really? That’s great!"
Hearing Wu Chengde’s words, Wu Yinghui appeared very excited.
"Just focus on your preparation. When the time comes, it will be easy for you to break through the Life and Death Realm by training in the Qiankun Formation!"
Wu Chengde spoke in a deep voice.
Time flew by, and night fell in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Yifeng returned to the Ling Sect from Yi Ren Pavilion, where Luo Yue and the group of women were enjoying themselves immensely, while Shangguan Mengyu stayed quietly aside, not speaking to anyone.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Yifeng looked at Shangguan Mengyu and said.
"What do you want?"
Shangguan Mengyu asked.
"You are a maid. What you need to do now is cook for us!"
Xiao Yifeng looked at Shangguan Mengyu and said.
"I can’t!"
Shangguan Mengyu replied coldly.
"If you can’t, then learn! As a maid, you must know everything!"
Xiao Yifeng snorted as he looked at Shangguan Mengyu, who glanced at him and then left.
"Brother Xiao, isn’t what you did a bit harsh?"
Liu Xuaner came to Xiao Yifeng and said.
"It’s fine!"
Xiao Yifeng said dismissively. Shangguan Mengyu had an arrogant demeanor, so he had to crush that pride.
After dinner, Xiao Yifeng went back to his room and summoned the Wind Avatar.
Then he transferred all the poisonous gas previously absorbed from Little Si’s body into the Wind Avatar.
Instantly, the avatar’s aura began to rise. The poisonous gas from the Body of Poison Calamity merged with the poisonous gas he cultivated himself, making the poison’s power even stronger.
Xiao Yifeng handed a Holy Medicine containing the Power of Wind to the avatar, letting it consume it.
After consuming this Holy Medicine, the Wind Avatar’s strength began to soar, starting to charge toward the path of the Life and Death Realm.
As for Xiao Yifeng, he sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the third Dragon Scale, and operated the Dragon Spirit Art, beginning to absorb the power of this third Dragon Scale.
Boom!
Time seemed to pass unknowingly, and this third Dragon Scale directly entered Xiao Yifeng’s body.
With the gathering of these three Dragon Scales, a terrifying dragon power erupted.
Xiao Yifeng’s right hand became completely covered in a layer of dragon scale plates, and the range of these scales began to spread, extending to his chest and back.
With the power of these three Dragon Scales, Xiao Yifeng’s Dragon Spirit Art broke through another realm.
The areas of dragon transformation on his body expanded, and ultimately, once he fully transforms into a Golden Dragon, he would possess the body of the Dragon Clan, with more terrifying combat power.
While Xiao Yifeng was cultivating the Dragon Spirit Art, the Yin-Yang Forbidden Tome in his mind started to move again.
Xiao Yifeng’s soul consciousness once again entered that mysterious Cosmic Star River.
Floating in front of him were still nine gates, with four of them already opened, filled with black vortices.
Yin-Yang Nine Gates, nine spaces, world evolution, thus forming the supreme!
What exactly does this sentence mean?
Xiao Yifeng recalled hearing those sixteen words when he entered here before, not understanding what they meant.
The Yin-Yang Nine Gates should represent these nine doors, and the nine spaces refer to the spaces within these gates, such as the world with the Ice-Fire True Eyes skill that Xiao Yifeng acquired before.
But what does ’world evolution, thus forming the supreme’ mean? Xiao Yifeng was baffled.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Yifeng headed toward the second gate, intending to see what was inside.
In the world of the first gate, he obtained the Ice-Fire True Eyes skill. Who knows what is hidden within this second gate.
Swipe!
Xiao Yifeng directly entered this second gate, and after passing through the vortex, he arrived in a new world.
Just like the world within the first gate, this place was empty, with nothing in it.
However, it was filled with rich spiritual energy, and his comprehension greatly improved upon coming here.
