Truth and Falsehood, Falsehood and Truth

"Young Master Ye, are you really going to give it to me?"

"This weapon was originally made specifically for you. Girls shouldn't touch weapons like scythes that would damage a girl's image. Weapons like swords, zithers, whips, longbows, and silk ribbons are more suitable for you girls," Ye Feng said.

"But..."

"Don't hesitate, it has already absorbed your life essence. From now on, you are its master. Don't you like it?" Ye Feng asked.

In the original storyline, Lin Qingtan's weapon was Demon Scythe. A scythe.

Ye Feng wasn't sure if Lin Qingtan disliked longbow-type weapons. Although, he could forge silver into powerful artifacts suitable for both close and long-range combat.

"No, Young Master Ye, I'm just too shocked. I... I'll take this as a birthday gift from you." Lin Qingtan didn't refuse any further and accepted the silver longbow from Ye Feng's hand.

Ye Feng tapped the silver longbow six times in succession.

The aura emanating from the silver longbow weakened.

Lin Qingtan looked at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng explained, "I just sealed its power. You're currently in the Qi Creation Realm; if you draw the bowstring, it will drain all the vital energy in your body. In that case, you can only launch one attack. I set up six seals in total. Once your cultivation reaches the Creation Realm, Nirvana Realm, Life Profound Realm, Death Profound Realm, Reincarnation Realm, and Ancestor Realm, you will unlock the seals one by one. This will prevent it from draining all the vital energy in your body at once when you use it. You're currently in the Qi Creation Realm, so you can barely fire thirty arrows at once."

Thirty arrows?

"Yes."

"Master, how do you compare the power of the arrow to the power of my Buddha's Angry Fire Lotus?"

A voice came from the other end of the razed Great Hall.

Lin Dong had already left the passage where he was exploring for treasures and was walking towards this side.

"With the current power of Qingtan, one arrow can Ice Seal a city."

"What?" Lin Dong paused for a moment, then continued walking towards Ye Feng, exclaiming in surprise, "One arrow Ice Seal a city. Qingtan is currently in the Qi Creation Realm. She can fire thirty arrows at once. Doesn't that mean she can destroy thirty cities?"

Ye Feng reached out and tapped Lin Dong's head.

"Master, why did you hit me?" Lin Dong rubbed his slightly sore head, pouted, and questioned Ye Feng.

"Is destroying thirty cities impressive? Once Qingtan enters the Reincarnation Realm and unlocks ninety percent of the Silver Longbow's power, she can freeze a planet with a single arrow. If she were to enter the Ancestor Realm..."

"What would happen if Qingtan reached the Ancestor Realm?"

"If Qingtan were to reach the Ancestor Realm and fully unleash the power of the Silver Longbow, she could destroy a galaxy with a single arrow."

"Ah?"

Lin Dong stared at Lin Qingtan in disbelief, speechless. "So amazing."

"Nonsense, this is a weapon I crafted myself. The material used is a natural alloy from the universe— Dark Soot Silver. Any weapon made with Dark Soot Silver is a god-slaying weapon," Ye Feng explained.

"Master, I'm starting to feel a little jealous of Qingtan now." A glint appeared in Lin Dong's eyes as he looked at Ye Feng with impure thoughts.

"You rascal, aren't you just eyeing the Heavenly Flames in my possession?" Ye Feng reached out and tapped Lin Dong's head.

Lin Dong practices the Flame Mantra from the Doupo Plane. Possessing Heavenly Flames is what makes him stronger.

Currently, Lin Dong only possesses one type of Heavenly Flames — the Bone Chilling Flame.

When Ye Feng killed Xiao Yan, he obtained four different kinds of Heavenly Flames.

"Master, where are you going?"

"Let's go inside and take a look."

"Wait for me, I'm coming too."

Although Lin Dong, Lin Qingtan, and Ye Feng left the Great Hall that had been razed to the ground, the shock left by Ye Feng lingered for Jiujiu.

"Wang Yan, what do you think of him?" Qin Shi asked.

"I...I want to become his disciple," Wang Yan said.

Qin Shi glanced at Wang Yan, a thought that crossed his mind.

The various methods Ye Feng displayed were simply beyond comprehension to Qin Shi and Wang Yan. Both of them were geniuses, and they could only submit to stronger opponents.

Undoubtedly, Ye Feng's abilities impressed them. They wanted to become Ye Feng disciples.

"I'm worried he won't agree," Qin Shi said thoughtfully.

Entering another passage, the view suddenly opened up.

An extremely spacious area appeared before Ye Feng, Lin Dong, and Lin Qingtan. Here, countless massive wooden stakes stood, tightly packed together, branching off into numerous winding wooden passages, their destinations unknown.

"Huh, is that a severed arm?"

Lin Qingtan picked up a piece of a severed human arm. It was completely black, extremely heavy, and covered with some mysterious runes. "What is this thing? How come it has some mysterious runes, just like the weapons that Young Master Ye forged?"

"These are Talisman Puppet. Some people like to make a few for fun. They're alright for guarding the house though," Ye Feng explained.

"Talisman Puppet? Master, what is Talisman Puppet?" Lin Dong asked.

"Simply put, Talisman Puppet are generally divided into three types: superior, middle, and inferior. Above that are Earth Demon Puppet, Heaven Demon Puppet, Immortal Puppet, and God Puppet. The one in Qingtan's hands isn't even considered inferior. It's just a defective product. It's practically garbage. It requires Pure Origin Pill to operate. It hasn't even developed any intelligence," Ye Feng said disdainfully.

"Intelligence? Master, can Talisman Puppet develop intelligence?" Lin Dong asked, intrigued.

"Of course. Even stones can develop sentience, so why can't Talisman Puppet?" Ye Feng countered, as Lin Dong began tidying up the Talisman Puppet. Ye Feng asked, "What are you doing?"

"Put them back and study them when you have time," Lin Dong said with a grin.

"Well!"

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knew that Lin Dong was after his method of refining Talisman Puppet.

Continuing deeper, they came to a screen of light.

"This should be the core area of the Ancient Tomb Mansion," Lin Dong murmured. Relying on the powerful Ye Feng by his side, he rushed into the light barrier without hesitation.

Stepping into the light, Lin Dong was momentarily plunged into darkness. The next instant, crimson light filled his vision. A wave of intensely hot fire rushed towards him.

"Ethereal flames."

Lin Dong frowned slightly.

Lin Dong possessed the Bone Chilling Flame, Heavenly Flames fire. He saw through the illusion of these flames at a glance. His gaze fell upon the crimson sea of fire before him, its intense heat emanating from it. Then, he said, "Truth and falsehood intertwine. Reality lies within illusion, illusion within reality. This great formation may trap others, but it's nothing but a trick in front of me. Huh, that's Lin Langtian."

Lin Dong's gaze swept across the sea of fire. There were quite a few people trapped in the flames, and among them was none other than Lin Langtian.
