The blood-red character 【Disaster】 caught his eye.
Old Man Tianji’s face was grave, and Lin Feng had a hard time swallowing his saliva.
“…how disastrous is this disaster?” Lin Feng asked after a long while.
“A sign of great disaster! There may be a threat to your life!” Old Man Tianji replied instantly.
“Can you divine the source of it?” Lin Feng asked again.
“Yes, I’ll divine once more!”
With that, Old Man Tianji closed his eyes again, surrounded by a mysterious light.
The divination disk in his hands and the Tai Chi on his body began to rotate again, with light converging and tracing patterns on the disk, but it was unable to form a character.
Reluctantly, Old Man Tianji had to increase the infusion of soul power.
In an instant, his eyes shone with starlight as if containing countless stars, with the stars reversing and galaxies converging.“Bzzz—”
At the same time, the divination disk trembled violently.
A character, even redder than before, was gradually outlined.
【Jiu】
“Nine?”
Seeing this character, Lin Feng was even more puzzled. “What does it mean? Does it refer to the Jiuyan Sect?”
“Not at all.”
Old Man Tianji shook his head gravely, “This ‘nine’ refers to a quantity, not a person! And since nine is the extreme, it proves…”
“…proves what?” Lin Feng pressed.
“It proves that in Cold Realm City, the number of people who want your life is countless…” Old Man Tianji finally said.
Hearing this, Lin Feng was completely bewildered.
He had great faith in Old Man Tianji’s divinations.
But the problem was he hadn’t done anything!
He hadn’t even entered Cold Realm City yet, so how could he have attracted the attention of an unknown number of people after his life?
This was very unreasonable.
“This is too strange, it seems we should still glimpse into the fortunes. Otherwise, I will be like a blind man, unable to guide you on the correct path,” Old Man Tianji suggested.
“After glimpsing into the fortunes, how much soul power will you have left?”
“Thirty percent.”
“…”
Lin Feng fell silent.
Having only thirty percent of soul power meant that if they encountered danger, Old Man Tianji would not be able to offer help at a critical moment.
This made him feel somewhat vulnerable and also a bit distressed.
After all, soul power was hard to come by.
He had been through many changes, from the Jiuyan Sect to the Buddha’s Temple and then to the Ancient Pill Tower.
It was not easy to obtain a Nine Abyss Soul Embryo!
However, he also knew that if he could not glimpse into the changing fortunes, he would be like a fly bumping around blindly.
He should not hesitate any longer.
“Alright! Let’s glimpse into the fortunes again!” In the end, Lin Feng agreed.
“The fortunes are unpredictable. To glimpse into the changing fortunes, I need to borrow the luck of your Son of Destiny,” Old Man Tianji said.
Lin Feng nodded upon hearing this.
Then, Old Man Tianji stood up, placing his right hand on Lin Feng’s shoulder.
Both of them closed their eyes.
Wisps of mist spread out, converging above their heads into a bridge of fortune that stretched into the sky.
Although they were physically still in the same place, they felt as if they were standing on the bridge.
The bridge was shrouded in fog, with only the bright golden light ahead seeming to guide the way.
After ascending the bridge and breaking through the layers of fog, their vision suddenly cleared.
At the end of the bridge of fortune, they saw a golden dragon lying dormant, and next to the dragon were countless innumerable humanoid shadows with fangs bared and claws dancing, surging towards the dragon and wanting to devour the dragon!
Seeing this scene, Old Man Tianji and Lin Feng immediately opened their eyes.
The vision before them disappeared, and they were still in the same place.
Lin Feng was instantly covered in cold sweat, while Old Man Tianji’s face was grave.
“…what does this mean?” Lin Feng asked.
“That golden dragon represents your destiny! There are some people, no, that’s not right… There are countless number of people who want to devour your destiny!” Old Man Tianji replied.
“What?!”
Lin Feng was shocked!
He had thought that his enemy was only Jiang Chen and the madmen of the Jiuyan Sect.
But he had not expected that there would be so many others.
Beyond that bridge, who knows how many more people there are!
He was horrified, and at the same time, unable to believe it.
Isn’t he the Son of Destiny? Why are there so many people who want to defy fate and go against the heavens?
“I can feel those strange shadows are still increasing. If this continues, sooner or later, you will become the enemy of the world!” Old Man Tianji added.
“Ah?”
Lin Feng was shocked again.
Seriously, he hadn’t done anything!
How could he become the enemy of the world?
More importantly, what should he do?
“There are two methods.”
After a long silence, Old Man Tianji said, “Cast aside all mercy, kill all the enemies who come at you, and prove your way through killing. Or…”
“…or?”
“Or hide! Conceal your destiny like a hidden dragon in the abyss! Survive until the end of time!”
“…”
Lin Feng’s face darkened.
Hide again?
He hadn’t even met Jiang Chen yet, and he was supposed to hide?
And hide until the end of time?
If that were the case, he might as well give up on destiny and call himself the Son of Survival!
At this moment, all the past events suddenly surfaced in his mind.
He was abused by Jiang Chen, unable to fight back.
He was hunted by Jiang Lianyue and others, running for his life.
He was disliked by Buddha Old Ancestor and was directly sent to the Ancient Pill Tower.
All of these things had already frustrated him to the extreme, but now, he was supposed to hide from everyone?
Find a place to survive until the end of time?
That’s impossible! Even if it meant death, even if he had to enter the way of killing and risk being consumed by murderous intent, he would not hide again!
He. Lin Feng. Will rise!
And it starts today!
“If the world wants to be my enemy, then I shall cut them all down!” With determination in his heart, Lin Feng roared out loud.
The moment his words fell, the black saber in his hand emitted a thunderous hum, and the cultivation technique inside his body started to circulate rapidly, plunging him directly into a state of enlightenment.
After looking up at the sky, Lin Feng’s eyes became vacant.
A strong murderous intent began to spread around him, growing more intense, causing his eyes to become bloodshot and his aura to rise.
“Boom!”
A wave of energy burst forth.
“Boom!”
Another wave of energy burst forth.
The waves of energy dispersed, powerful enough to destroy everything in their path, instantly shattering the surrounding earth and wood.
And when everything settled down, he had jumped two realms in a row, becoming a late-stage Heavenly Origin.
After exhaling a breath of air, he aimed at the mountains ahead and swung his black saber down fiercely.
A saber qi dozens of feet long suddenly appeared.
The saber qi rampaged, cutting through the air, and split the mountain in two.
“This saber technique shall be called Mountain Cleaver!” Lin Feng murmured as he retracted his black saber.
This was a move he had comprehended on his own.
The power of this move was immense. With his current cultivation, even practitioners from the upper four realms would have to retreat three zhang!
Seeing this, Old Man Tianji nodded in satisfaction.
Lin Feng practiced the Seven Purifications Annihilation Technique and refined the Heartless Way of the Saber.
Combining the two, he should first sever his own Seven Emotions and Six Desires, then enter the path through killing.
Old Man Tianji had thought that Lin Feng was still too young and would need more trials to enter the path of killing.
But unexpectedly, after being continuously abused by Jiang Chen and others, and now understanding his situation, Lin Feng had truly entered the way of killing that suited him best!
“The man can be teached!” Old Man Tianji nodded in approval.
“Old Man Tianji, you are good to me, even if the whole world is against me, you would still stay by my side.” Lin Feng was touched.
Old Man Tianji was startled and quickly distanced himself, saying, “…Don’t say such things, it’s easy to be misunderstood.”
“If the world is against me, what does it matter if I’m misunderstood?” Lin Feng moved closer to Old Man Tianji, his tone still filled with emotion.
“…”
Old Man Tianji fell silent and stepped back a few more steps.
Just as Lin Feng wanted to get closer to express his gratitude, A cold wind suddenly arose, and the temperature of the surrounding air plummeted.
“Whoosh—”
Lin Feng looked up.
He saw an overwhelming ghostly qi coming from behind, like a pair of hands covering the sky, plunging the world into darkness.
Beneath that ghostly qi, there were countless ghosts walking in broad daylight.
Just one glance at the leading female ghost, Old Man Tianji panicked and said, “Run, run quickly! That female ghost is at the Nirvana realm, where the ghosts go, humans cannot tread!”
“Ah…? Run again? I’ve just had a breakthrough!” Lin Feng’s face turned bitter.
Just a second ago, he was full of swagger, entering the way of killing.
But now, he had to run again!
Really, he cannot look cool for more than three seconds!
More importantly, where could he run to?
With the ghosts attacking, there were ghosts within a hundred li, and now even if he wanted to run back to the Ancient Pill Tower, he would have to pass through a horde of ghosts!
“We can only hide in Cold Realm City! The city has a defensive formation!” Old Man Tianji urged.
“But that place is a land of great disaster!” Lin Feng didn’t understand.
“Going there is perilous, but not going means death. Make your choice!”
“…”
At this moment, Lin Feng felt that entering the way of killing didn’t seem to be of much use.
He was still so frustrated…
