Six Years
Life in the Metal Lifeform was peaceful, though they encountered some foolish bandits along the way. 💥💥 🎃💞 But when a large group of Fiend stepped forward, the bandits were terrified and scattered in all directions. In the blink of an eye, six years had passed.
During these six years, Lin Feng only left one Midgod avatar to accompany Dilia, while his main body and the rest of his Divine Clone were all engaged in cultivation.
Lin Feng was not in a hurry to break through the rules of death to become a god. His main body was still working with his Wind Divine Clone was far away in Yulan, to fuse with the profound Laws of Wind Elements Mysteries.
With multiple Lowgod clones in death, Lin Feng's overall strength won't increase much. However, if Lin Feng can fully fuse eight or even nine of the Laws of Wind Elements Mysteries achieve the Paragon of the wind element, his strength will rise several levels.
Of course, the more you progress in fusing Mysteries, the more difficult it becomes. Even with Lin Feng's near-demonic talent for cultivation and the assistance of his Lin Feng, it would be completely impossible for him to fuse eight or even nine profound Mysteries in a short period of time.
Since Lin Feng Mysteries the seven profound Laws of Wind Elements, he has been cultivating for seven or eight years. However, during these seven or eight years, Lin Feng has only achieved a great success in fusing "Wind Space" and "Wind Element".
As for Beibei, he's been pursuing Nisi all along.
And sure enough, Beibei and Nisi were inseparable in just three days. They were both quirky and mischievous, and their bickering only made them happier. Nisi's brother, Salomon, didn't object either. After six years, Beibei and Nisi had become quite the young couple.
Throughout the entire Metal Lifeform, everyone knows about this pair of lovable characters.
Inside the room, five Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, each wearing a robe in a different color: earth yellow, emerald green, golden gold, fiery red, and sky blue.
Lin Feng's Earth Divine Clone has been pondering "Gravity Space" and "Earth Pulse". Now, he has mastered these two profound Mysteries and has reached a bottleneck in their integration. However, he still cannot cross this last step.
"This High-level Profound Mystery is indeed incomparable to the low- or mid-level Mysteries; fusing them together is truly exceptionally difficult," Lin Feng remarked.
Lin Feng has now fully integrated the fifth profound Mysteries of the Laws of Earth, "Gravity Space," with "Earth Element," and nearly half of it with "Earthwalking." It can be said that he has already gone nearly halfway on the path of integrating the five profound Mysteries, but he is now stuck on the bottleneck of integrating "Gravity Space" and "Earth Pulse."
Since breaking through to the Lowgod realm, Lin Feng's two Divine Clone, Life and Fate, have almost never stopped cultivating. Calculating the time, they have been cultivating for over a hundred years.
Now, these two Divine Clone have almost simultaneously encountered a bottleneck. This is the bottleneck for breaking through to the Highgod.
Breaking through the bottleneck of a rule-based Mysteries Divine Clone is far more difficult than achieving a profound understanding of the laws or even fusing with them. It's even more uncertain how long it will take to break through.
"Relatively speaking, the Fire Elemental Law is easier to comprehend." Lin Feng smiled slightly.
Lin Feng's fire-elemental divine avatar achieved godhood in the shortest time, and he also had to accompany Delia, so he didn't have much time to cultivate, only cultivating occasionally. But even so, Lin Feng had mastered the fusion of the simplest fire elemental laws, "Fire Movement Technique" and "Fire Element".
"Lin Feng, you're awake." Dilia opened her eyes at that moment.
"How's your cultivation going?" Lin Feng stood up.
"I Refine Divine Spark to become Highgod, but my soul didn't undergo a transformation. Furthermore, the Godhead doesn't resonate with my original soul. Trying to Fusion Profound Mysteries is too difficult," Dilia, somewhat discouraged. "It's been seven or eight years since I became a Mysteries Highgod, but even I've struggled to harmonize the simplest and easiest-to-fuse mysteries of the Laws of Wind Elements."
Seeing Dilia's slightly dejected look, Lin Feng quickly comforted her, "Just think of it as passing the time. With me protecting you, it won't be a problem even if you stop cultivating from now on."
This situation was exactly what Lin Feng had anticipated. This was also the reason why Lin Feng insisted on having the eight-year-old Dilia accompany him to the Magical Beast Mountain Range for training back in Yulan.
However, Dilia's talent was limited, and even if she was nurtured from a young age, she would find it difficult to become a god on her own. Lin Feng had no choice but to let Dilia Refine Divine Spark to become a god. There was nothing he could do about it.
"Okay!" Dilia nodded obediently.
"Let's go out and get something to eat and have a drink." Lin Feng and Dilia walked out of the house side by side.
The journey was peaceful; most of the Fiend were cultivating in their own rooms, and there were only a few Fiend in the hall at the moment. Of course, there were definitely two of them: Beibei and Nisi.
"Lin Feng, Dilia, what a coincidence, you two are just coming out too." A man walked up next to Lin Feng; it was Nisi's brother.
"Salomon, what a coincidence," Lin Feng laughed. "Let's go grab a drink."
Lin Feng didn't have a good impression of Salomon, but now that his good brother was dating his sister, Lin Feng couldn't very well greet him with a bad attitude, no matter how unwilling he was.
Lin Feng and his two companions walked directly towards Beibei and Nisi. At that moment, Beibei and Nisi were playfully teasing each other.
"Nini, tell me, why are you women so beautiful, yet so foolish?" Beibei was sitting in a chair, glancing sideways at Nisi beside her.
Nisi thought for a moment, then said, "Ah, I understand."
"My dear Nini, speak," Beibei said, looking at Nisi.
Nisi wrinkled her nose and said, "Women are so beautiful, that's what makes you men fall in love with us. As for women being stupid, that's what makes me fall in love with you!"
Beibei glared at him. "Foolish, that's why you fell in love with me?"
"If I weren't foolish, how could I fall in love with you?" Nisi asked with a puzzled expression.
"Oh!" Beibei slapped her forehead in frustration. Why could she never win against Nisi?
Lin Feng and the other two nearby couldn't help but laugh when they heard their conversation.
Beibei turned her head and looked at Lin Feng in surprise. "Boss."
"Hehe, you guys continue chatting, we'll sit over there." Lin Feng said with a smile. The dining table in the hall was a relatively small round table, usually seating three people, four people would find it too crowded.
Lin Feng, Dilia, Salomon then sat down in a corner of the hall.
"Lin Feng, this Beibei is really quite cute." Salomon laughed, then Salomon seemed to be thinking about something, pondered for a moment, and then actually used his Divine Domain to envelop Lin Feng and Dilia within its Divine Domain.
"Huh?" Lin Feng and Dilia looked at Salomon with a puzzled expression.
Salomon chuckled, "Lin Feng, Dilia, I want to say something, but I can't let anyone hear. So I'm completely isolating the sound."
"Very few people know this rumor. However, my sister and your brother Beibei have had a good relationship over the past six years. I'll tell you this rumor too." Salomon's expression turned serious.
"Rumors?" Lin Feng scoffed inwardly. "Aren't these rumors something you started all along? Why all the secrecy?"
Of course, appearances still mattered, and Lin Feng appropriately showed a puzzled expression on his face.
Salomon said slowly, "Do you know where this escort team started?"
Before Lin Feng could speak, Salomon answered himself, "According to what I've heard, the starting point of this escort team is still in the distant Fengyan Prefecture!"
Fengyan Prefecture is a prefecture in the western region of Zijing, while Yemu Prefecture is in the central part of Zijing, and Hongyang Prefecture is in the easternmost part of Zijing.
Salomon said solemnly, "Rumor has it that the escort team was attacked by enemies along the way, and almost Fiend were wiped out, leaving only a few. Therefore, the employer hired another batch of Fiend in our Diyi City."
"Our Diyi City?" Lin Feng sneered inwardly. He knew all too well that Salomon had not been hired by Diyi City at all; in fact, he was the mastermind behind this mission.
"You knew that, yet you still came?" Dilia immediately realized something was wrong.
"First of all, it's just a rumor," Salomon said with a wry smile. "Secondly, I only learned about this rumor about six months ago."
"That's just a rumor," Lin Feng said deliberately.
Salomon shook his head and whispered, "Don't disbelieve me. Think about it. Why did they make us gather in the restaurant instead of having us gather openly at the city gate? They waited until evening, then secretly and quickly entered the Metal Lifeform. Before we could even get our bearings, the Metal Lifeform activated immediately."
"So, it's always good to be careful," Salomon said in a low voice. "If we really encounter danger, those enemies won't be too ruthless towards us; we'll just scatter and run away. Preserving our lives is the most important thing. If this mission fails, we'll just lose the reward."
Lin Feng had to admire Salomon; his preparations were too thorough. Not only did he remain behind the scenes, but he also deliberately spread rumors to make the Fiend run away at the first sign of trouble, so that he could take advantage of the chaos and escape.
Immediately afterward, Salomon dispelled the Divine Domain, and the three of them drank and chatted casually.
Suddenly, a divine sense swept across the entire Metal Lifeform. Lin Feng didn't notice it at all, but Salomon's expression changed, and he exclaimed, "Divine sense probing?"
"Divine sense probing?" Lin Feng was also surprised. Even he hadn't noticed it; it must have been a divine sense probing by Highgod.
Lin Feng, Salomon, and the others disappeared from the round table in an instant and appeared by the transparent window. They all looked out through the transparent window and saw hundreds of people standing in mid-air. The leader was tall and slender with gray hair, but his face was extremely handsome, looking like a young man. He was also carrying a sword on his back.
"Carrying a sword?" Lin Feng laughed. "Six years of boredom, something interesting is finally about to happen."
In the Infernal Realm, few strong individuals choose to carry their weapons on their backs; most store them in Space Ring. Encountering this strange young man carrying a sword means that we are almost at the Desert Ancient Castle.
"So many Highgod!" The handsome young man's expression changed slightly. As the leader of a notorious bandit gang that was famous for miles around, he knew which gangs could be robbed and which could not.
"Sir, should we make a move?" a middle-aged man behind him whispered.
Without hesitation, the handsome young man turned around and shouted, "Attack? Are you out of your mind? Everyone, retreat!" Instantly, hundreds of bandits and robbers fled downwards at Extreme Speed.
The Metal Lifeform, however, remained completely unaffected and continued their journey.
Inside the Metal Lifeform.
Lin Feng and his group returned to their original seats. Salomon said with a faint smile, "It seems I was a bit too nervous. Those bandits are even more cowardly than I imagined. Before any of our men even left, they were all scared and fled immediately."
Lin Feng smiled as well.
"Mr. Salomon," Dilia said with a smile, "You don't need to be nervous or worried. No matter how powerful the bandits are, we have Lord Liermons on our Metal Lifeform, don't we? With him around, it's none of our business." Dilia wasn't worried at all. Of course, the reason she wasn't worried was because of Lin Feng, not that damn Liermons.
Salomon nodded in agreement.
