Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1703 - 1685: An Interesting ’Drunkard
"Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer. If any Demon Beasts are about to break through to the Demon Immortal realm, contact me." Lin Feng added this after the negotiations were finished. He didn’t want the Lost Forest side to suffer more losses, and this remark was enough.
"Okay, okay!" The Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast hadn’t expected Lin Feng to say something like that. The two Demon Immortals became Demon Immortals with Lin Feng’s help. If Lin Feng could help other Demon Kings advance to Demon Immortals, it would be tremendously beneficial for the Lost Forest. To him, having Lin Feng’s promise was truly enough.
"Alright then, since the matters are settled, I’ll arrange for someone to regularly trade with you in the Lost Forest." Seeing the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast so enthusiastic, Lin Feng nodded, gave a simple directive for the subsequent matters, and without waiting for the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast to respond, he directly put it into his Space Ring.
"Lanlan, I’ll entrust you with the matters here. I’ll be very busy for some time, and I might not have much time to come and see you." Lin Feng said to Xia Lalan with deep guilt. He indeed needed to get busy, integrating the forces of the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm, and he also needed to go to the Exotic Monster Beast’s secret realm to find Seven Star Stones, so he would be extremely busy in the short term.
"It’s okay, now everyone relies on you, so it’s understandable that you’re busy. You don’t have to worry about Sister Wan’er and the other sisters, I will inform them. Besides, the sisters are mostly cultivating now, and there’s nothing happening in the Secular World, so it’s all fine."
Xia Lalan spoke to Lin Feng with great tenderness. She certainly understood why Lin Feng was busy now. The situation was indeed bad, and everything was being prepared to resist the Immortal Realm. At such a critical time, she wouldn’t hold Lin Feng back because of personal feelings; she understood the priorities.
"Alright then, I’ll get going. If there’s anything, you can call me; I should have time to answer the phone shortly." Lin Feng nodded and, without saying anything further, gave a simple directive and then left.
After Lin Feng left, Xia Lalan got up to find Ding Wan’er and the other ladies. When Ding Wan’er and the others learned about the current situation, they all agreed with Xia Lalan’s arrangements. Lin Feng’s responsibilities were indeed too great now, and as his women, they certainly didn’t want to delay Lin Feng’s matters because of them.
The ladies chatted briefly and then each went off to cultivate. Although they were all at the Divine Change Realm now, their strength was still insufficient, so they seized every moment to cultivate, striving not to be a burden to Lin Feng.
As for matters in the Secular World, Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei had long arranged for others to handle them and would only step in for major decisions. Qian Duoduo also entrusted the Great South Gang to a trusted subordinate for management, focusing on cultivation in the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm.
If there was anyone still busy, it was Chu Meng. She needed to manage the Cloud Fund, which was a commercial behemoth that few could control besides her. Moreover, she needed to oversee various investments and developments, so she had to dedicate a lot of time online daily to handle these matters. Under the circumstances, Chu Meng had no better option but to do so.
After leaving, Lin Feng began exploring within the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm. To resist the Immortal Realm, he decided to establish a huge formation covering the entire Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm—the Shangyuan Soul Killing Formation! The Seven Star Stones were the primary materials for the formation. Once completed, it would enhance the combat strength of the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm by 30%, and if necessary, he could control the formation to create powerful attacks against some super powerhouses.
As Lin Feng explored the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm, he found some special places. These places all had natural formations. In time, he could modify these formations to enhance their power several times over, potentially trapping a number of the Immortal Realm elite. He took note of these special places and began mentally constructing the defense system of the entire Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm.
The detection process was cumbersome. By the time Lin Feng confirmed all the data, ten whole days had passed. During this time, Lin Feng didn’t attend to anything else, dedicating himself entirely to the construction of all details of the upcoming super formation.
After completing these tasks, Lin Feng started heading back, planning to return to the sect for a look. If there were no special matters, he intended to visit the secret realm of the Exotic Monster Beasts to gather enough Seven Star Stones for the formation.
But what Lin Feng didn’t expect was that on his way, he encountered a newly awakened Human Immortal Realm Peak powerhouse, roasting a Demon Beast. His clothes were mostly torn, barely enough to cover himself.
Lin Feng was quite interested in this person. Previously awakened powerhouses had all gone to cause havoc in other sects, yet this guy had secluded himself. Lin Feng wanted to understand this guy’s true intentions and whether such Human Immortal Realm Peak powerhouses would continue to appear, as well as why they were awakening at this time.
Thinking this, Lin Feng moved and appeared before the man. Seeing him grilling a Demon Beast, Lin Feng smiled and said to the elderly man, who looked like he was in his sixties or seventies, "It smells good, mind if I join?"
"Sit wherever you like." Shi Qing replied casually without even looking at Lin Feng.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng nodded and sat down at a spot by the fire. He continued, "Interesting, I’ve met many people awakening from the Sealing Time, and they’ve all become Elders of my Elders Pavilion. May I boldly ask for your name?"
"Shi Qing!" The old man still didn’t look at Lin Feng, absorbed in watching the roasting Demon Beast, like a truly hungry child staring intently at their food.
Lin Feng hadn’t expected this old man to be so indifferent and difficult to communicate with. After a moment’s thought, an idea occurred to him. He took out a bottle of wine from his Space Ring and began drinking in front of the old man.
But after Lin Feng had just taken two small sips, Shi Qing suddenly appeared before Lin Feng, snatched the wine bottle, and, upon smelling the aroma, his eyes lit up. He began gulping down the wine, finishing the bottle in a few swigs with an expression of yearning for more.
"Young man, do you have more of this wine?" Shi Qing asked Lin Feng, eyes gleaming with green light. The wine was simply too good, better than anything he’d ever had. He really wanted more.
"Of course, but I’d like us to eat, drink, and chat together." Lin Feng responded with a calm smile. By offering the wine, he aimed to test his assumption, and to his surprise, Shi Qing was indeed so vulnerable to alcohol. This made the subsequent conversation much easier.
"As long as there’s wine, no problem." Hearing Lin Feng’s response, Shi Qing smiled. As long as he could drink that wine again, he was fine with anything. Besides, he originally wanted to eat meat and drink wine simultaneously, aligning perfectly with Lin Feng’s offer.
The two shared a smile, then sat down together by the fire. Wasting no time, Lin Feng placed a box of wine on the ground, tossed Shi Qing a bottle, and voluntarily began, "Elder Shi, can you tell me about your era and why you were sealed?"
Instead of answering directly, Shi Qing took a big gulp of wine, savoring the fiery sensation, then began, "My era was long ago. There were many cultivators then, but none could break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. It was a chaotic era, not much to say. As for why I was sealed, it was simple. I drank a mysterious powerhouse’s wine, got discovered, was defeated with a single strike, and sealed with a special method afterward."
"One thing I don’t understand. Why didn’t he kill you after defeating you, but instead decided to seal you? That seems strange!" After hearing the elder’s words, Lin Feng felt even more puzzled. Being sealed for such a reason didn’t make sense, did it?
"After he defeated you, why didn’t he kill you then?" Lin Feng questioned, feeling that something was off.
"I don’t get it either. He didn’t want to kill me; instead, he wanted to seal me for waking up at this time. After waking up, I discovered many others from my era awakening. I slowly seem to understand certain things," Shi Qing recalled, pausing at a critical moment. Taking another sip of the fiery drink, he continued, "At the time that I woke up, the world had changed into something different. After waking, I wandered around, learned many things, and found that many people from my era are also awakening here. This led me to believe that the person who sealed us never intended to kill us but to ensure we’d wake up now. But as to why, I still don’t understand."
With that, Shi Qing sighed. After waking up, he realized many things had changed and that during these recent periods, many Human Immortal Realm powerhouses had been awakening. He wanted to unravel these mysteries.
Lin Feng, listening to Shi Qing, was taken aback, suddenly understanding something. He had wondered why many Human Immortal Realm Peak powerhouses had suddenly appeared during this time. It turned out they had been intentionally sealed and made to awaken at this time. As for why, no one knew...
The thought struck Lin Feng, and his mind suddenly became clear. Could it be that someone sealed these powerhouses on purpose, planning for their revival now to make resisting the Immortal Realm easier later?
This sudden thought made Lin Feng’s entire mind suddenly clear. The emergence of these strong individuals meant that resisting the Immortal Realm could possibly be easier. However, he didn’t know how many of such recently awakened strong individuals would appear. If there were enough of them, then perhaps the strength would be sufficient to oppose the Immortal Realm.
