Lin Feng's voice suddenly rang out, which made Yale, George, and Reynolds slightly stunned. Reynolds even shouted excitedly, "Lin Feng, you finally spoke. It's been a full fifteen days, fifteen days! You haven't eaten or drunk for fifteen days."
Lin Feng sat quietly in front of the giant stone for five days, and carving took another ten days and nights. It was indeed a full fifteen days.
If it were ordinary people, they would have died after fifteen days without food or drink. Even ordinary level four or five mages would likely be weak and exhausted after fifteen days without food or drink. But Lin Feng only felt a slight sense of hunger now, with no physical discomfort whatsoever. Moreover, due to the significant improvement in his mental power, he felt no fatigue at all.
Because he entered that special state, completely in harmony with nature, elements of all kinds continuously poured into his body, replenishing energy consumption and constantly improving Lin Feng's physique.
"Fifteen days, yes, I am a bit hungry," Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Hungry?"
George was the first to excitedly run into a nearby tent. He took out two large boxes wrapped in fur. The fur was for insulation. Unwrapping the fur revealed iron boxes inside. Opening the two iron boxes, they contained a sumptuous feast.
"Wait a moment, why no wine with the meal?" Yale laughed heartily.
Lin Feng watched his three good brothers, one busy arranging the dishes, one preparing to serve rice, and the other pouring wine. Seeing them busy, Lin Feng suddenly felt a warmth in his heart.
How could Lin Feng not be moved by them staying with him for fifteen days?
Lin Feng buried it all deep within his heart.
"Boss, second brother, fourth brother, we are brothers for life," Lin Feng said firmly in his heart.
"Third brother, come, eat quickly," George said enthusiastically.
"Okay."
Lin Feng and his three good brothers ate and drank on the vast grassland behind the mountain, filled with laughter and joy. Beibei also ate and drank excitedly beside them.
February in the Fenlai Kingdom still held a hint of cold, but the chilly spring weather could not dampen the brotherhood between the four. The heart was warm, and thus everything was warm and hot.
After eating!
"Yale boss, please keep this stone carving for me," Lin Feng said, standing up and looking around at the vast surroundings. "I'm going to train in the Magical Beast Mountain Range again. This time, I must break through to the Saint Realm."
Yale, George, and Reynolds were stunned.
"Third brother, you're going to the Magical Beast Mountain Range? And you plan to break through to the Saint Realm before coming out?" Yale was anxious, and George and Reynolds were also anxious.
Saint Realm? That was the dream realm for all cultivators. Although Yale, Reynolds, and George were also students at the First Mage Academy, Ernst Academy, they had never imagined that they would one day enter the dream realm of the "Saint Realm."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Alright, don't worry. My mental power has already broken through to the peak of level nine because I carved 'Love.' As long as I have a little time to refine my magic power, I will truly be a level nine Archmage. Breaking through to the Saint Realm will only be one step away."
Yale, George, and Reynolds were stunned for a long while before they simultaneously uttered two words: "Monsters!"
Ignoring their shocked expressions, Lin Feng turned around and looked at the stone carving "Love," his heart filled with peace. The previous turmoil and restlessness had long since vanished.
"Boss, this stone carving 'Love' is the betrothal gift I prepared for Delia. Please keep it safe. If it gets damaged, I don't think your sister-in-law will let you off." Lin Feng smiled slightly, throwing the Flat Blade into his Space Ring. "I won't go back to the academy; I'll depart directly."
"Boss, second brother, fourth brother."
Lin Feng's gaze focused on his three good brothers, and he smiled slightly. "Thank you all very much. I, Lin Feng, am very fortunate to have brothers like you."
After saying this, Lin Feng, with Beibei, headed east.
Yale, Reynolds, and George watched Lin Feng's figure grow farther and farther away until he disappeared into the vast expanse of heaven and earth.
This massive leap in mental power not only increased Lin Feng's strength but also changed his perspective and thoughts. Lin Feng had originally planned to buy back his family's heirloom saber after earning enough money. But now, he realized that strength was everything. With strength, the saber "Warblade Slaughter" would naturally return, and his revenge could officially begin. This was why Lin Feng suddenly decided to go to the Magical Beast Mountain Range again. He wanted to break through to the Saint Realm during this training in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Only by stepping into the Saint Realm would he truly have a certain say on Yulan.

Inside the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Towering trees, dense thorns, wild flowers and grasses, and withered fallen leaves. The entire Magical Beast Mountain Range remained as primitive as ever. Lin Feng sat cross-legged in a patch of grass, absorbing the earth and wind elements from the outside world to refine his magic power.
Although Lin Feng's mental power had reached the peak of a level nine mage, his magic power was still at the initial stage of level nine.
Lin Feng had been in the Magical Beast Mountain Range for a full month.
During this month, Lin Feng occasionally killed some magical beasts. At other times, he was either studying the seven elemental magic elements or meditating and cultivating his magic power.
With his mental power having broken through to the peak of level nine, he now possessed the qualification to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and the profound truths of the elements.
"Alas, these laws and profound truths are truly difficult to comprehend. It's been a month, and I haven't even touched the doorstep," Lin Feng, who was meditating cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes and murmured with a sigh.
"In the original book, Lin Feng first comprehended the earth element's 'Earth Pulse,' but the first to become a god was the wind element."
Lin Feng extended his hand and grabbed the void. The light cyan wind element transformed into a small vortex between Lin Feng's fingers, swirling around his fingertip.
"The wind element's 'Profound Truth of Velocity' is divided into 'fast' and 'slow' levels. But what exactly are 'fast' and 'slow'?"
A stream of light suddenly flew out from the Coiling Dragon Ring. Wearing a moon-white robe, it was none other than Doehring Cowart!
"Lin Feng, although there is only one step between the peak of level nine and the Saint Realm, this step is like a chasm. Over countless years, very few people on Yulan have been able to cross it."
"A peak level nine expert must comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and enter the threshold of these laws to advance to the Saint Realm. However, the comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth is not greatly related to elemental affinity or mental power; it depends on individual aptitude."
"Aptitude?" Lin Feng's lips twitched. The word "aptitude" was too ethereal and difficult to grasp.
"Of course, to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, not only aptitude is needed, but practical experience is also essential," Doehring Cowart further explained.
"Practice? How do I practice?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up, and he asked.
"Practice means experiencing it firsthand, not just meditating in seclusion or working behind closed doors."
"Experience? Does that mean if I want to comprehend the Laws of the Earth, I need to go to a place where earth elemental energy is dense, and if I want to comprehend the Laws of the Wind, I need to go to a place where wind elemental energy is dense?" Lin Feng voiced his thoughts.
"Hehe, it seems your comprehension is quite good. However, your statement isn't entirely correct. If you cultivate purely for the sake of cultivation and do so deliberately, you often won't achieve the desired results. The best way to cultivate is to perceive life, to feel the bits and pieces of life; life is the best mentor for a cultivator. If a person does not understand life, then they will never reach remarkable achievements."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng suddenly realized the truth. It seemed he had been stuck in a dead end before, always thinking about how to comprehend the Laws of the World. Under such psychological suggestion, he was unable to feel nature at all, and thus even less likely to comprehend the Laws of the World.
Lin Feng stood up, bowed to Doehring Cowart, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Grandpa Doehring."
Seeing Lin Feng's expression, Doehring Cowart knew his words had taken effect, and he smiled with gratification: "Comprehending the Laws of the World can only rely on yourself; I cannot give you any help, so your future cultivation can only rely on yourself. With your current strength, as long as you don't go to the center of the Magical Beast Mountain Range to provoke Saint-level beasts, you won't be in any life-threatening danger, and I can rest easy."
"Alright, enough said. I am going into seclusion as well. This time, I plan to enter a deep-level seclusion in hopes of breaking through my bottleneck and becoming a god." After Doehring Cowart finished speaking, he turned into a streak of light and flew into the Coiling Dragon ring.
Seeing Doehring Cowart disappear, Lin Feng felt a stinging sensation in the corners of his eyes. He naturally understood the intention behind Doehring Cowart's words; he didn't want Lin Feng to treat him as a crutch. Only by relying on oneself can one become a powerhouse; if one has a dependency in their heart, they will never achieve much.
"Grandpa Doehring, rest assured, I will not let you down." Lin Feng secretly vowed.
With his confidence solidified, Lin Feng no longer lingered and headed deeper into the Magical Beast Mountain Range with Beibei.
