Lin Feng felt a surge of excitement. It seemed that cultivating the remaining nine elements to the Paragon realm within a thousand years was not just a dream!
If all eleven elements reach the Paragon, Lin Feng's strength will inevitably increase greatly, surpassing powerful figures like the Sovereign of Death and the Sovereign of Life. Even with Oufu, although Lin Feng still cannot break through his defenses, he will not be afraid of him.
Lin Feng managed to suppress his excitement, adjusted his mood, and then immersed himself in cultivation.
Lin Feng was so engrossed in his cultivation in the Underground Plane Secret Chamber that he made new breakthroughs almost every day. Encouraged by this sense of accomplishment, Lin Feng became even more absorbed in his cultivation, and had long forgotten what year it was.
As for the promise made to Dilia that would last "at least a hundred years, at most a thousand years," it has been completely forgotten.
Since Lin Feng went into seclusion in the Underground Plane Secret Chamber, this place has become a forbidden area for the Baruch Clan. No one is allowed to enter unless he comes out himself; this was the order Lin Feng gave before he went into seclusion.
No one dared to disobey Lin Feng's orders.
Lin Feng's status in the Baruch Clan is no less than that of Gaisresen in the Azure Dragon Clan, and may even be higher.
It can be said that the Baruch Clan's current glory was all created by Lin Feng.
Without Lin Feng, there would be no Baruch Clan today, let alone the Baruch Empire.
Therefore, with his order in place, none of the younger generation in the family dared to disobey. As for Dilia and Jenny, they preferred to endure their growing longing each day rather than disturb Lin Feng's cultivation.
As a result, no one knew anything about Lin Feng's situation during his nearly thousand-year seclusion.
In this situation, Beibei came into play. Because he had Equal Contract with Lin Feng and could sense the strength of Lin Feng's soul, he was "honored" to be asked by Dilia and Jenny to report on Lin Feng's situation at any time.
Beibei naturally fulfilled her sisters-in-law's requests without fail.
What astonished Beibei was that over the past thousand years, Lin Feng's soul had experienced explosive growth almost every few years or decades. Even under normal circumstances, it was increasing at an extremely terrifying rate. In Beibei's perception, Lin Feng's current soul power could not be described as vast at all.
Beibei also knew that her boss's soul power would suddenly increase every few years or decades, definitely because he had broken through his original realm. As for Lin Feng having so many clones, that was not surprising.
However, Beibei was overjoyed amidst his repeated astonishment. He discovered that each time Lin Feng's soul power increased, it would cause his own soul power to increase slightly as well. Although the increase was small each time, the cumulative effect after several or dozens of times was terrifying.
During these thousand years, Beibei hardly cultivated at all, spending less than one percent of the time he spent with Nisi on cultivation. Even so, Beibei's soul power still broke through from the Five-Star Fiend level to the Asura level, and it is steadily increasing.
Whenever she has free time, Beibei would sigh and think how wise it was that she made the decisive move to form Equal Contract with Lin Feng Lin Feng and acknowledge him as her boss.
The eldest brother cultivates, and incidentally improves his own cultivation level, while I can simply sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor. This is truly wonderful.
Beibei was happy, but Delia and Jenny were not. And as the Yulan Festival of the Yulan Calendar 11403 approached, their complexions grew worse, and they were constantly filled with sorrow.
" Jenny, do you think my husband has forgotten about us? Before he went into seclusion, he said he would come out in a hundred years or a thousand years, but now a thousand years is almost up, and he still hasn't made a move." Dilia looked worried.
For someone who had never been separated from Lin Feng for more than ten years, to suddenly be separated from Lin Feng for a thousand years was truly a difficult situation for her.
Although she is a powerful Highgod, at the end of the day, she is still a woman, a woman who needs her husband's care and protection.
Jenny's expression wasn't much better. Throughout the past thousand years, although her two beloved daughters had tried every possible way to cheer her up, she had never been truly happy.
Originally, besides her husband Lin Feng, she also had a younger brother to worry about. But not long after Lin Feng went into seclusion, her only brother, Keane, passed away. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to her.
The impact of losing a loved one, especially his younger brother with whom he had relied on each other since childhood, on Jenny is unimaginable.
Jenny also knew that for Eighth-level Warrior to live to over four hundred years old was an extraordinary blessing from heaven.
Over four hundred years, with Jenny's support, Keane took over the position of patriarch of the Jax Family from McKane, further expanding and strengthening the Jax Family. In the end, the family had many descendants and he died peacefully in his old age, making his life worthwhile. This was something that Jenny found gratifying.
Although his younger brother had limited talent and never managed to break through to the Saint Realm to achieve immortality, his life was still incredibly rich and fulfilling, and he ultimately left with no regrets.
Although Jenny was heartbroken, she had no choice but to accept this fait accompli.
Without her younger brother to worry about, the only man Jenny cared about was Lin Feng. Unfortunately, Lin Feng, who was in seclusion, was unaware of her longing.
" Dilia, my husband must have reached a crucial stage in his cultivation. For him, a thousand years of seclusion at once is quite normal," Jenny tried to reassure Dilia. "Didn't Beibei say he's doing very well? We don't need to worry."
Although Jenny said that, his face still looked worried.
Seeing Jenny's words, Dilia also composed herself, forcing a smile, and said, "I think our husband has become so engrossed in cultivation that he's forgotten all about home. When he gets out, we should join forces to punish him and show him our power. Otherwise, we'll have less and less standing in his eyes in the future."
To bury something in dirt is a way of expressing longing.
" Dilia, let's go. Today is a big day, and you, as the officiant, can't be absent," Jenny suddenly changed the subject.
Dilia laughed upon hearing this, "Right, right, I really forgot. I never expected that Sadius would end up with Haeru. Life is truly unpredictable! It's about time, let's head to the Magical Beast Mountain Range now."
The Spined Iron-Armored Dragon Sadius not only made Lin Feng's Dragonblood Warrior possible, but it was also tricked and deceived by Lin Feng into serving as Dilia's bodyguard for ten years.
During these ten years, Sadius and Dilia forged a very deep friendship. Unfortunately, Sadius eventually returned to his lair, the Magical Beast Mountain Range, because he disliked life in the human world, and became a Saint Realm monster there.
When Dilia returned from the Infernal Realm, she discovered that Sadius was actually Saint Realm magical beast, so she generously gave her three Darkness Element Godhead, ranging from lower to higher rank.
After more than a hundred years of refinement, Sadius has now become Highgod.
What Dilia didn't expect was that after Sadius became a god-level magical beast, he had more interactions with Haeru. Since both were god-level magical beasts, one was the king of the Magical Beast Mountain Range and the other was the king of the Sunset Mountain Range, and both were at the Highgod level, with similar backgrounds, strengths, and statuses, and both had intricate connections with Dragonblood Castle, it was natural for the two to come together.
After a thousand years, they have reached the point of discussing marriage.
Dilia and Sadius had a deep friendship, and Delia was also the wife of Lin Feng, the master of Haeru. This special status made her the natural choice to be the officiant at their wedding.
However, before this, Sadius and Haeru had a disagreement about the location of the wedding, which led to a rather interesting little incident.
Spined Iron-Armored Dragon Sadius and the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard Haeru are kings among magical beasts, and naturally, both have strong personalities. As the "male" one, Haeru naturally demands that Sadius marry into his territory, Sunset Mountain Range. However, Sadius firmly disagrees. Often referring to herself as "this old lady," she directly demands that Haeru marry into her Magical Beast Mountain Range, giving a high-sounding reason. "Your Sunset Mountain Range are too remote; this old lady disdains to go there."
Upon hearing this, Haeru was furious. He felt that his dignity as a "man" had been challenged. When his forceful commands failed, he proposed to resolve the matter by force.
Sadius was not afraid of Haeru's suggestion to resolve the issue by force. He immediately transformed into his true form and slammed a Dragon Claw claw at Haeru.
Not to be outdone, Haeru also transformed into his true form, showcasing his speed advantage as Black-Striped Cloud Leopard, and directly dodged the Dragon Claw.
Both were speed-type magical beasts and both reached the level of Highgod. They had fought each other more than once before and were extremely familiar with each other's weaknesses and strengths. As a result, their battle was evenly matched and difficult to determine a winner.
The battle lasted for three days, and in the end, Sadius, with his superior defense, managed to gain a slight advantage over Haeru.
Despite losing the battle, Haeru didn't try to cheat. In an extremely straightforward manner, he stated that the wedding could be held in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, but once he defeated her, it had to be held again in the Sunset Mountain Range.
To Haeru's declaration, Sadius merely raised an eyebrow, and arrogantly declared, "Today I defeated you, so from now on, you'll be my mount. And the day you defeat me, I can be your mount too."
Thus, although Haeru and Sadius became husband and wife, fighting made up a large part of their married life, and the two were almost always injured. Of course, that's a story for later, so let's leave it at that.
