Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 2131 - 2113: Why Do You Say That?

Perhaps because this world is indeed too vast, it took Lin Feng several hours to finally find this Dahai. Just as he expected, the sea was unaffected, with raging waves constantly crashing against the surrounding rocks, and a slightly salty sea breeze finally gave Lin Feng a sense of vitality.

By fully expanding his Divine Sense, he quickly located an island near the continent and even discovered humans on it. To his surprise, there was actually a Human Immortal Realm cultivator on this island!

With a swift move, Lin Feng landed on the island.

When this foreign powerhouse, Lin Feng, floated in mid-air, everyone on the island was stunned. In their panic, someone quickly went to report the situation. Before long, a human elder, appearing to be about seventy or eighty years old, ascended into the sky and approached Lin Feng.

"I don’t know why you are here, friend? What is your purpose?" The elder asked Lin Feng respectfully. The Sun Profound Continent hadn’t seen any humans from other cultivation worlds for countless years, so this sudden appearance was quite puzzling to him.

"I arrived here by chance. Can you tell me what happened here and why people can only live on islands?" Lin Feng asked the elder directly. Although he had read that diary, he still wanted to hear the account from those who were still alive.

"Of course." The elder immediately replied when Fang Yan asked him, "About two hundred years ago, the Sun Profound Continent was still vibrant and prosperous. But suddenly, one day, a meteor from outer space appeared and crashed onto the Sun Profound Continent. After that, the entire world became like this..."

The elder explained, tears welling up in his eyes. He had witnessed this catastrophic event firsthand. Fortunately, he was on the island at the time and managed to avoid disaster. Recalling that scene still filled him with immense fear.

After listening to the elder, Lin Feng nodded. The account was almost identical to what the diary described, but upon looking at the elder, Lin Feng suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Senior, if I’m not mistaken, you witnessed that disaster firsthand, didn’t you?"

"Yes!" the elder replied with a single word, then continued, "At that time, I was only ten years old. Because I lived on this island, I was lucky enough to survive."

Upon hearing this from the elder, Lin Feng’s eyes instantly brightened as he continued to inquire, "So you haven’t gone to investigate the fallen meteor?"

"I did investigate it. Decades ago, I reached the Human Immortal Realm and visited the place once. But after going there, I was completely in despair. With that thing around, it’s impossible for the Sun Profound Continent to return to its former state!" The elder nodded and replied directly, though his voice was filled with despair when he said this.

"I want to see that meteor. Would it be possible for you to help me with that?" Lin Feng asked again at that moment. He was genuinely curious about that meteor. According to common sense, a meteor shouldn’t be able to destroy a cultivation world, so the so-called meteor must be something unusual. Otherwise, such a situation wouldn’t have occurred.

"Since you want to see it, I’ll take you there once." The elder scrutinized Lin Feng upon hearing this. He noticed that Lin Feng exuded a very special aura. Although he didn’t know what realm of strength Lin Feng had reached, it was certainly beyond his own. Therefore, he didn’t dare refuse Lin Feng’s request.

Later, led by the elder, the two of them headed toward the meteor’s crash site.

"The Sun Profound Star was originally quite nice, right?"

"I’ve never left the island, so I don’t know about the outside world."

"How have you survived on the island all these years?"

"We eat fish! Occasionally, we eat a few leaves. There are some plants in the sea, and basically, we eat anything edible!"

...

Along the way, Lin Feng casually chatted with the elder, only then realizing how tough life on the island was. Despite such conditions, the elder had managed to cultivate to the Human Immortal Realm, which truly surprised him...

After flying for four or five days under the elder’s guidance, they arrived near the meteor from outer space. The elder, looking at a massive depression in the desert from a distance, said to Lin Feng, "That’s the outer-space meteor. You’ll see once you take a look. But be careful when you go over there, and come back quickly!"

Upon hearing the elder’s words, Lin Feng felt curious but nodded, flying towards the massive crater.

As soon as he flew over the massive crater, Lin Feng’s expression changed as he sensed an indescribable danger. Steadying his mind, Lin Feng realized the origin of this danger—it came from the meteor in the crater.

The outer-space meteor was entirely crimson, with a faint red glow flickering on it, as if it were breathing like a living being. The surrounding area seemed to have been vitrified by the impact, encasing the meteor in a bizarre manner.

What was even more peculiar was the intense Earth Elemental Aura emanating from the meteor, accompanied by an overpowering aura of death. Even from a distance, Lin Feng could feel his own life force rapidly draining away. Such killing intent made Lin Feng fearful as well!

A truly ominous object!

After a glance, Lin Feng quickly backed away, his mind echoing this thought. Instinct told him that this meteor was anything but ordinary; even with his current strength, he couldn’t get close to it. The meteor’s power was clearly immense, no wonder it had led to the destruction of the entire Sun Profound Cultivation World.

However, as Lin Feng turned back for another look, a sudden thought occurred to him. Someday, he must remove this thing and toss it to the Holy Soul Sect. Even the Holy Soul Sect probably wouldn’t be able to withstand it. Thinking of this, a mysterious smile tugged at the corner of Lin Feng’s mouth.

Afterward, Lin Feng and the elder returned to the island...

The island’s inhabitants were not many, perhaps due to the limited food supply, and they weren’t very healthy. Lin Feng couldn’t do much about this; he simply helped heal those who were ill as much as he could. Unbeknownst to him, this small act of kindness earned him acceptance from everyone on the island.

Those whom Lin Feng had treated voluntarily brought him various specialties from the island. Faced with their goodwill, Lin Feng couldn’t refuse. He got along very well with the islanders, and everyone who saw Lin Feng was delighted to greet him warmly.

Through interactions with the locals, Lin Feng finally learned the name of the Human Immortal Realm elder—Yan Hai. He was the Sect Master of a sect, though now the sect had fewer than thirty members left.

In the evening, Lin Feng went to Yan Hai and brought out a table of food and drinks, intending to chat with him over the meal. However, to Lin Feng’s surprise, upon seeing the food, Yan Hai couldn’t even speak. He devoured everything like a Wind Swept Clouds, even licking the plates clean without the slightest decorum.

Once the table was bare, Yan Hai finally realized what he had just done. Embarrassed, he looked at Lin Feng, his old face turning red as he said, "I’m really sorry for making a fool of myself in front of you. I haven’t tasted such food in over two hundred years. I thought I’d never get to experience such deliciousness again in my lifetime. Now, even if I die, I’ll have no regrets."

"No problem, there’s more!" Lin Feng, understanding why Yan Hai had acted so out of character, wasn’t bothered by it. He then took out more food from his Space Ring.

After another two hours, once Yan Hai had eaten his fill, Lin Feng finally began to chat with him over drinks.

"I have a question. Over these two hundred years, how did you manage to cultivate to the Human Immortal Realm?" This question truly puzzled Lin Feng. It’s worth knowing that the spiritual energy on the current Sun Profound Continent was sparse, only slightly stronger than Earth’s, and with the environment as it was, it was truly perplexing that Yan Hai had cultivated to the Human Immortal Realm under such conditions.

"Honestly, I’ve long wanted to die, but for the people on the island, I was forced to take one step at a time until now." Looking at Lin Feng, tears welled up in Yan Hai’s eyes. An elder’s expression like this showed the complexity of his heart.

"Why do you say that?" Lin Feng asked curiously upon hearing Yan Hai’s words. A cultivator wholeheartedly focuses on cultivation, so why would they wish to die and be forced one step at a time? What was the reason?

"The island seems calm, but it is not. Occasionally, Demon Beasts from the sea attack. From when I was young, I fought alongside my steward to kill Demon Beasts and protect the humans here. After my steward died, I took on the responsibility alone to protect everyone on the island."

"It’s a dark, endless life, repeating slaughter. But for the sake of the people here, I have no choice! As for reaching the Human Immortal Realm, it was entirely due to the islanders risking their lives to collect a type of pearl from the sea, which contains spiritual energy, to aid in my cultivation, so that I could protect the others on the island. I can say that every bit of spiritual energy I’ve cultivated is built upon the blood of countless people. If it weren’t for these people living, I would have long since crumbled."

Yan Hai spoke with great sorrow. For him, he had truly had enough of such a life. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stopped using those pearls to cultivate after reaching the Human Immortal Realm, choosing instead to train others so that they could ensure the island’s safety. Once that was settled, he truly didn’t want to live anymore.

So that’s it!

After hearing all this from Yan Hai, Lin Feng finally understood what life on the island was really like. To say they lived terribly would be an understatement—they survived solely to live, and even Lin Feng’s heart was somewhat moved.
