# Chapter 1080: Just One Palm
In the empty palace, Lin Feng sat alone cross-legged. The terrifying pressure still lingered, but to Lin Feng, it had already weakened considerably. Of course, it wasn't that the pressure had diminished, but rather that Lin Feng's comprehension of the grand momentum of heaven and earth continuously weakened this terrifying pressure, while he also grew increasingly accustomed to it.
Yang Fire True Yuan circulated throughout his body as Lin Feng's body madly devoured the terrifying heaven and earth origin energy. The origin energy within this great hall was far too abundant. Even without relying on Origin Stones, there was no need to worry about insufficient energy for absorption. Thus, he could cultivate with peace of mind. While comprehending power, Lin Feng did not forget to elevate his cultivation.
At this moment, above the great hall, terrifying patterns interwove like fir trees, transforming into Tai Chi Yin-Yang Fish that circulated without cease. Throughout the entire palace space, it seemed as if a power of the Dao was flowing.
"Buzz!" An invisible wave radiated from the Tai Chi Yin-Yang Fish, enveloping Lin Feng. In an instant, Lin Feng felt his body tremble, as if a strange light was flowing around him, making him feel closer to heaven and earth. It seemed a power of the Dao was circulating on his body, guiding him to become more intimate with the natural forces of heaven and earth.
Beside him, Qiongqi opened his eyes. A strange light also flowed on his body. His massive pupils flickered, then he sat solemnly with a dignified appearance. This was the first time since his rebirth that he had been so close to the power of the Dao. Not to take advantage of it would be a waste. It seemed that the Martial Emperor of Heavenly Terrace placed great importance on the power of the Dao, clearly having a profound understanding of it. He hoped his disciples would first comprehend the Dao, then cultivate power.
Every Martial Emperor had their own path of cultivation, and the Martial Emperor of Heavenly Terrace was naturally no exception.
The Tai Chi Yin-Yang Fish transformed into countless forms. In the palace where Lin Feng sat, it seemed ten thousand rays of golden light shone, and Chaos Golden Lotuses were born, enveloping the entire great hall, generating boundless radiance. This made the immortal spiritual energy within the hall even richer and more dazzling.
The golden lotus petals bloomed open. One flower, one world; one leaf, one Buddha. The petals and branches and leaves transformed into a hazy world. Vines and ancient trees grew within the great hall. Lofty mountains stood tall, and flowing water gurgled past Lin Feng. Here, it seemed a world had been conjured into existence.
Lin Feng sat motionless, but at this moment, he gave off a feeling of tranquility and harmony. Like Qiongqi, he appeared dignified and solemn, in tune with the great Dao. In the sky of this world, it seemed a brilliant sun had been born, allowing him to absorb the light of the sun and the essence of the day.
The flames grew increasingly intense, yet Lin Feng felt an incomparably warm sensation. The madly burning flame power seemed to give birth to a gentle radiance, as if embracing all things.
At some unknown time, Lin Feng's Heavenly Jade Stone had already been grasped in his palm. This strange power continuously entered his mind through perception, drawing into his Martial Soul. That barren and dark world seemed to gain its own radiance. The dazzling world seemed to slowly be drawn into his Martial Soul. The barren world of Lin Feng's Heavenly Book Martial Soul gradually evolved, becoming like the outside world, filled with a gentle aura, as if in harmony with the great Dao.
The Martial Soul was stealing from heaven and earth!
"Stealing from heaven and earth!" Lin Feng's heart shook. He increasingly discovered the extraordinariness of his Martial Soul. Without any inheritance, why did this Martial Soul appear on his body? Now, the evolved Martial Soul could cause treasures to reveal their most primitive power, could make the power of Sacred Marks clear, as if seeing through the great Dao, stealing every power he witnessed. Now, even this entire golden lotus world, he would also steal.
Lin Feng did not stop cultivating. Cultivating in this world containing the Dao was so comfortable. Moreover, his absorption of True Yuan power had reached a terrifying level. Even his comprehension of flame power seemed to deepen. At this moment, his spiritual platform was clear, his mind incomparably sharp. In this state, no matter what technique he cultivated, it would be faster.
This cultivation session lasted a full three days before the flames on Lin Feng's body slowly extinguished. The surrounding resplendent world seemed to dim along with the cessation of his cultivation, gradually vanishing and returning to calm. Above the palace, light flowed, exuding a mysterious Dao intent.
"What a marvelous palace!" Lin Feng's heart shook as he sighed in admiration. Such a marvelous palace possessed the great power of the Dao. After three days of seclusion cultivation, his cultivation had directly pressed toward the Fifth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm. He believed that only one opportunity was needed to break through again.
Turning his gaze, Lin Feng looked toward Qiongqi. At this moment, Qiongqi still seemed immersed in it, unable to extricate himself. Light flowed around him as he comprehended the Dao and drew close to nature. At this moment, his cultivation could no longer be concealed, fully exposed.
"Fifth Grade Heavenly Demon, this old bastard was indeed hiding things!"
Lin Feng cursed inwardly. This bastard was already at a higher realm than him. He really wanted to go over and kick him over. Every time he fought, this bastard actually had the nerve to watch from the sidelines, claiming it was to temper him. Too beastly!
Qiongqi shuddered, as if sensing something. Then he opened his fierce eyes. After seeing Lin Feng, he glared fiercely at him: "Little bastard, you actually disturbed this Emperor's cultivation!"
"You old undead, you really hide deep enough," Lin Feng cursed in a low voice. Seeing Lin Feng's expression, Qiongqi's body trembled. He instantly concealed his cultivation, then looked at Lin Feng leisurely, saying contemptuously: "It's you who cultivates too slowly!"
"Slow?" Lin Feng was speechless. After reaching the Heavenly Martial Realm, various opportunities came continuously, and his cultivation advanced rapidly. In a short time, he had already crossed into the Fourth Layer peak. Could this be called slow?
Glaring fiercely at Qiongqi, Lin Feng turned and walked out of the great hall. Once again facing his own phantom, this time Lin Feng could finally hold on for a moment. After three days of cultivation bathed in Dao intent, it seemed he had also acquired some Dao charm. His use of the grand momentum of heaven and earth had become more formidable. Integrating it into his own body, he could already unleash more than three times his original attack power, even stronger. However, the final outcome remained unchanged — he was still sent flying.
After half a month of continuous strengthening through battle, Lin Feng was confident that his strength had taken another leap compared to when he first stepped onto Heavenly Terrace. It was time to go out and take a walk. He needed an opportunity to help him break through his current realm and enter the Fifth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm.
The martial path was mysterious and profound. Simply cultivating blindly was not necessarily useful. Only through continuous perception could one elevate their realm, allowing cultivation to keep pace.
Lin Feng walked down the Nine Heavens and arrived at the great path behind the Fourth Heaven. At this moment, there were several figures here. Qiu Yuexin, Lin Ruotian, and several others who had stepped onto the Fourth Heaven were all here. Like himself, to enter the cultivation grounds behind, they first had to pass through an illusion space, within which was their own reflection.
"Lin Feng!" Qiu Yuexin saw Lin Feng approaching and came to his side. The frost on her face disappeared, revealing a faint smile. She said with slight resentment: "You cultivate quite diligently. In over a month, you haven't come down even once!"
"It's precisely because I haven't come down for so long that my longing was hard to bear, so I came to see you," Lin Feng said with a smile, causing Qiu Yuexin to roll her eyes at him: "You sure talk sweet!"
"Brother Lin Feng, want to give it a try?" Lin Ruotian was sent flying from the illusion and called out to Lin Feng. Although his attempt to recruit Lin Feng into the Lin Clan had failed last time, he still tried to maintain a good relationship with Lin Feng — at least until there was no conflict of interest between them. Offending such a person of limitless potential for no reason would naturally be unwise.
"This phantom is quite troublesome. The Martial Emperor seems to want us to comprehend the Dao, deliberately creating phantoms with strong understanding of momentum, making it so none of us can enter the cultivation grounds behind!" Qiu Yuexin said with frustration. As a member of the Qiu Clan, she naturally understood the Martial Emperor's intentions.
Lin Feng looked up toward the Nine Heavens and said: "It seems these Nine Heavens are also a path of Dao comprehension. If one day we can comprehend the Dao, I believe we will be able to step into the Heaven Beyond Heaven!"
"Perhaps," Qiu Yuexin murmured.
Lin Feng lifted his foot and stepped toward that illusion space. In an instant, a phantom of him appeared, standing there calmly, motionless.
Lin Feng took a step forward, and immediately a low, muffled sound rumbled from the earth. In Lin Feng's palm, it seemed flowing light flickered. He struck out with a palm, unleashing power that could tear dragons and tigers apart, even emitting the sound of dragon roars. The terrifying natural power of heaven and earth seemed to move with his palm, causing everyone's hearts to tremble along with his hand.
"Crack!"
Lin Feng's phantom raised its hand to counter, but the dragon-slaying, tiger-killing terrifying power, carrying the might of grand momentum, directly blasted it into annihilation. Qiu Yuexin and Lin Ruotian were both stunned on the spot, their expressions becoming exceptionally vivid.
The phantom they couldn't overcome — Lin Feng, he only needed one palm?
