Gaining Spiritual Power, Top Formation Master

The very instant Qiong Xiao lowered her head, completely losing consciousness.

In Lin Feng's mind, a string of cold mechanical voices exploded like divine thunder from the heavens.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host, Maidservant No. 1 has been successfully recruited, and the Maidservant Contract is established!"

"Contract effect activated: The Host will gain 100% usage rights to Maidservant Qiong Xiao's current abilities (Cultivation Level, Spiritual Power, understanding of Laws, Magic Treasures usage)!"

Before the words even fell, an indescribable, majestic torrent of information, with a presence that surpassed light speed and thought, forcefully surged into Lin Feng's soul and sea of consciousness.

This was not a simple infusion of knowledge.

It was a higher-dimensional imprint of Laws originating from the very source of the Great Dao!

This was precisely the Innate Divine Ability that Qiong Xiao possessed from birth as an Innate Being—the Thirty-six Transformations of the Heavenly Dipper Formation!

From the first transformation, Creation and Transformation, to the thirty-sixth transformation, Resurrection, all the formation structures, all the essential changes, all the profound mysteries of deduction, instantly transformed into Lin Feng's own instincts.

Buzz!

Lin Feng felt as if the entire world had completely changed in his eyes.

No longer were there simple mountains, rocks, plants, or the cold stone walls of a cave.

Everything in the world was deconstructed in his eyes into the most basic "points" and "lines."

Every wisp of Spiritual Energy flowing in the air had its own trajectory; this was a line.

Every speck of dust rolling on the ground was an insignificant point.

However, points and lines intertwined to form "planes."

The superposition of countless "planes" formed the space within a hundred-mile radius.

And this was the most fundamental form of a formation!

So-called formation deployment was merely changing the positions of these points and lines, reshaping their connection methods.

At this moment, Lin Feng felt a sense that was both absurd and incredibly real.

He was not learning formations.

He, himself, was the formation!

As long as he willed it, his every breath could draw upon the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth, forming its own cycle. His gaze could lock onto spatial nodes, setting up a deadly grand formation.

This was a realm bordering on the Dao itself.

Thought arises, formation complete!

Almost simultaneously, Qiong Xiao's own understanding of formations also surged like a tide, instantly absorbed by Lin Feng, and then instantly discarded like worn-out shoes.

Too crude.

Too immature.

In Lin Feng's mind, Qiong Xiao's dozen or so formation transformations, which she had painstakingly comprehended over countless years, naturally surfaced.

From his current perspective, they were like castles built by children with mud, filled with all sorts of laughable errors and loopholes.

The utilization rate of Spiritual Energy was less than thirty percent.

The connections between formation nodes were stiff and rigid, filled with superfluous steps.

As for those so-called transformations, they were rigid and dogmatic, lacking adaptability, a complete waste of the supreme power of this top-tier divine ability.

"So, this is true power..."

Lin Feng murmured to himself, an unprecedented sense of security filling his limbs and bones, dispelling the sliver of insecurity that had lingered in his heart since his transmigration.

This was an absolute sense of control, holding heaven and earth in the palm of his hand!

Just then, an unexpected change occurred!

From the void where Daoist Black Tiger had dissipated, a remnant soul will, filled with extreme resentment, activated his natal Magic Treasure, the Black Tiger Seal, choosing the most tragic self-destruction!

A black seal, condensed to its extreme, tore through the void, carrying a malevolent aura potent enough to defile Primordial Spirits and corrode Dao Foundations, hurtling directly towards Qiong Xiao in Lin Feng's embrace, who was already depleted and on the verge of death!

Fast!

Extremely fast!

This was the final, vengeful strike of a Golden Immortal cultivator before death, its power enough to make any existence of the same rank despair.

However, in Lin Feng's current eyes, this so-called "killing blow" was as slow as a snail crawling.

Moreover, its composition was riddled with flaws.

Lin Feng's gaze didn't even linger on the Black Tiger Seal.

In his "sight," the internal structure of the Magic Treasure, the trajectory of its energy circulation, was seen with absolute clarity.

To pursue extreme explosive power, Daoist Black Tiger had compressed all energy into the front of the seal, causing a gap of one ten-thousandth of a second in the energy supply behind it.

To lock onto Qiong Xiao's aura, his divine sense was excessively concentrated, making the entire Magic Treasure's spirituality extremely rigid, unable to cope with any sudden changes.

To attach the malevolent defiling power, he had mixed impure negative energies into the core of the spiritual treasure, which instead damaged the Magic Treasure's own structural stability.

Flaws!

From head to toe, it was riddled with weaknesses!

Like a thousand-hole-ridden piece of art, fragile and utterly defenseless.

A hint of extreme disdain curled on Lin Feng's lips.

Facing this attack, which was capable of threatening a Golden Immortal's life, he didn't even have the interest to lift a finger.

He merely moved his thoughts slightly.

"Seal."

A single word echoed in his mind.

In an instant, the space before the Black Tiger Seal, the freely flowing lines of Spiritual Energy, the disordered dust motes of light, all seemed to receive a supreme divine decree.

They instantly rearranged and combined according to an unfathomably profound pattern.

An invisible, intangible, yet indestructible net, formed from space itself, materialized out of thin air!

"Buzz!"

The menacing Black Tiger Seal, as if crashing into an invisible wall, abruptly stopped. It hovered strangely in mid-air, less than three inches from Qiong Xiao's brow.

No matter how the energy within churned or raged, it could not advance another inch.

"This is... Space Laws? No! This is a formation! How is this possible! How can there be such a formation!"

From within the Black Tiger Seal, the remnant soul let out a shriek of utter horror, its worldview completely shattered at this moment.

No formation flags, no formation discs, not even the slightest ripple of magical power!

A single thought turned space itself into the most terrifying prison!

What kind of unfathomable mastery of formations was this!

This was beyond human capability; this was a god! Or a demon!

"Noisy."

Lin Feng finally felt a hint of impatience.

He tightened his arm around Qiong Xiao, letting her sleep more soundly in his embrace.

Then, he moved his thoughts again.

"Crush."

Boom!

The invisible net made of space suddenly contracted inward, squeezing!

Every light mote of Spiritual Energy, every strand of energy that formed the formation, erupted with terrifying power capable of crushing stars.

"Crack... crack crack..."

A grating sound of shattering came from the Black Tiger Seal.

Under the pure, extreme spatial pressure, cracks like spiderwebs spread across the surface of the incredibly hard Acquired Spiritual Treasure, rapidly covering the entire seal.

"No! Spare..."

Daoist Black Tiger's remnant soul couldn't even utter a complete plea for mercy.

"Bang!"

A dull, soft sound.

The Black Tiger Seal, along with the last wisp of its remnant soul's will, was forcefully compressed into a mass of primordial energy points, then completely annihilated, vanishing into nothingness.

As if it had never existed in this world.

Inside the cave, absolute silence returned once more.

Lin Feng then lowered his head, looking again at the sleeping beauty in his arms, whose brow was furrowed due to the recent crisis. A faint smile played on his lips.

He reached out with his other hand, his slender fingers gently stroking Qiong Xiao's smooth forehead, slowly smoothing out her furrowed brow.

"Sleep."

"From now on, no one will be able to harm you."
