Chapter 1558: Bitter Cultivation
On Demon Night Island, within the Hurricane Valley, the tearing, roaring gale howled through the ravine.
Yet within the valley, a single figure flickered back and forth amidst the hurricane, sometimes moving with the wind, sometimes against it, grasping every tremor of the breeze as if he could merge the wind into his very being.
"Whoosh!" Lin Feng moved against the wind once more, turning into a blurry afterimage that seemed to ignore the hurricane's force entirely, as if the endless gale would never strike his body.
Lin Feng leaped and bounded through the hurricane without pause, sometimes riding the wind's momentum, sometimes charging against it, as if he would never know fatigue and would never stop.
"Finally, I've grasped the wind's whisper, no longer disturbed by mere gusts." A soft murmur emerged from the valley, and then Lin Feng's body shot into the sky, himself seeming to transform into a hurricane, soaring and gliding freely through the terrifying valley, singing and moving in rhythm with the wind.
Having already spent several months on Demon Night Island, Lin Feng naturally knew what this place was. The floating islands above the vast sea were actually a world of demon beasts. The countless surrounding floating islands were all gathering places for beast clans, and Demon Night Island itself was the king island of this entire region, inhabited by some terrifyingly powerful demon beasts.
At this moment, Lin Feng's eyes were calm and focused. During this period, he had been tormented quite miserably. The Stone Ape senior would casually play at earth-shattering moves, slapping down at him with a single palm, letting him truly experience the weight of the earth. The Wind Demon senior, meanwhile, would occasionally take him to experience what true speed meant, grabbing him and madly racing through the void, letting him feel the wind's force and its terrifying velocity firsthand.
Besides them, there were other demon beasts skilled in different powers who also came to train him. These few months felt like several years to Lin Feng. Of course, his profound meaning power was also growing stronger continuously. This solid sense of power filled Lin Feng with boundless energy. Not only did he train bitterly in reality, but during rest, he also used dream cultivation while sleeping, and this in no way hindered his cultivation efficiency.
"Little brother Feng, big sister has come to see you again!" At this moment, above the Hurricane Valley, a seductive woman in a red robe sat there, her long, fair legs exposed in the air, dangling over the cliff's edge, full of allure. A light smile graced her beautiful eyes, but Lin Feng could only force a wry smile. This enchantress was here again!
"Sister Fox Moon!" But by now, Lin Feng was used to it and called out softly.
"Little brother Feng, today big sister will take you to a good place!" Fox Moon smiled, and then her body turned into a red-robed blur, wrapping around Lin Feng. Lin Feng's forehead was instantly covered in black lines. He was being held in a woman's arms again, and a beautiful one at that. Feeling the touch of her skin and glancing at her lovely face beside him, Lin Feng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Fox Moon carried Lin Feng out of Demon Night Island. The two arrived above the sea, gazing down at the rolling waves and the floating islands. Before long, Fox Moon brought Lin Feng to the sky above a certain island and entered it. This island was purple in color. In the central region of the demon island, the entire sky seemed to be a dark purple, as if a violent storm was about to descend, extremely terrifying.
"Crack!" A black-purple lightning bolt of annihilation struck down from a dark purple ancient castle in the void. Lin Feng watched as a mountain range below instantly turned to ash, vanishing into nothingness, filled with an endless aura of extinction.
"What terrifying lightning power!" Lin Feng's heart trembled inwardly, but he saw Fox Moon carrying him forward, shouting toward the dark purple castle: "Thunder Demon King, see this young lady and still not come out!"
Another bolt of lightning tore across the sky, making Lin Feng's eyes twitch. A thunderous roar shook the floating island. Below the castle, a demonic figure draped in dark purple lightning wings appeared, its eyes filled with thunderous light looking their way. "Fox Moon, I haven't offended you lately, have I?"
"Thunder Demon King, don't be so distant. This time I've brought my little brother to stay with you for some training. Next time I come, I want to see his lightning profound meaning at least at the peak. I'm leaving now!" Fox Moon's figure flickered, and her red robe vanished. Lin Feng watched as the Thunder Demon King's eyes shot toward him, his body trembling slightly. He cursed Fox Moon in his heart. A venomous beauty! She had left him alone here, and judging by the Thunder Demon King's fierce gaze, he was probably in for a world of suffering.
"Senior Thunder Demon King!" Lin Feng felt a bit intimidated seeing those thunderous eyes and called out softly. But suddenly, bolts of lightning descended upon his body, wrapping around him. The Thunder Demon King's body also turned into a bolt of lightning, shooting over. Its claws directly grabbed Lin Feng's body. After that, Lin Feng was unfortunately grabbed by the Thunder Demon King and thrown into the mountain range below the castle.
"Let you first experience the Five Thunder Purgatory!" A cold voice came from above the castle. Lin Feng looked up at the dark purple castle and the endless lightning bolts, rolling his eyes. Let him first experience the Five Thunder Purgatory?
"Crack!" Five bolts of lightning of different colors struck down from the castle, and soon, screams began to echo from below the castle... And this situation continued for a long time. Lin Feng, being loyal, took out the Celestial Fate Sword, letting the sword experience it together with him.
It wasn't until a month later, when Fox Moon came to pick him up, that Lin Feng appeared much more haggard, his skin faintly tinged with a dark purple hue.
"Little brother Feng is getting more handsome!" Fox Moon said with a giggle. Lin Feng looked at her, at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This past month, he had truly understood what lightning was—what it meant to be struck by five thunders, seven thunders destroying the body, nine thunders splitting the soul. The Thunder Demon King had thoroughly baptized him.
"Looking at big sister like that? I was going to take you to another good place, but since you resent me so much, forget it." Fox Moon said with a coquettish laugh.
"Uh..." Lin Feng's eyes flickered, and then he spoke weakly: "How could I resent Sister Fox Moon? I can't thank you enough!"
Although this month had been painful, if given the choice to experience it again, he would still be very willing. This was called willing acceptance—painful but joyful. Every day, he could feel the sublimation of his power.
"That's more like it!" Fox Moon showed a smug expression, extending her jade-like hand toward Lin Feng. "Come, big sister will take you!"
Lin Feng grimaced, stepped forward, and took Fox Moon's hand. Then, their bodies soared into the air again, disappearing from this thunder island.
Spring passed and autumn came. On Demon Night Island, all things experienced life and death, flowers bloomed and withered. On a huge rocky cliff face, Lin Feng's body lay there, sinking into a dream.
Inside the dream, Meng Qing and Qiu Yuexin were also there.
"Meng Qing, your cultivation is quite special; you don't need me to create dreams for you. But Yuexin, what kind of dream do you need? I'll create it for you." Lin Feng said to the two women. It turned out that Meng Qing and Yuexin, who had been cultivating in the Jade Emperor Palace, had been brought into Lin Feng's dream by him. He created dreams for them. He had been cultivating the Great Dream Ancient Scripture for some time now. As long as the other party was willing and didn't resist deliberately, he could easily draw them into his dream and create dreams for them. If Lin Feng's strength was much greater than theirs, he could even forcibly pull them into his dream.
"Lin Feng, create a dream of the four seasons' cycle and the growth of all things for me." Qiu Yuexin said to Lin Feng.
"Alright." In the dream, he summoned the Four Seasons Ancient Tree, planted it within the dream, and created a cultivation environment for Qiu Yuexin. Then, he also created a dream for himself. The three of them all cultivated within Lin Feng's dream. Lin Feng, cultivating the Great Dream Ancient Scripture, was the master of the dream.
At this moment, on the cliff where Lin Feng lay, two beautiful figures appeared. One was draped in a red robe, unmistakably Fox Moon. She smiled and said, "This guy is still so fond of sleeping!"
"Little sister Yun'er, the immortal fruits you prepared for him might as well be given to big sister to eat." Fox Moon smiled at Yun'er.
"Sister Fox Moon, if you want to eat, take two. I'll leave two for Lin Feng." Yun'er handed the green fruits in her basket to Fox Moon, smiling.
"Forget it. The old monkey's things are useless to me. Leaving them for him will be of some small use!" Fox Moon chuckled and asked, "How long have you two been on Demon Night Island?"
"One year and one month!" Yun'er replied. A year had passed in the blink of an eye. During this past year, although she had stayed on Demon Night Island, a place inhabited by demon beasts, she felt very relaxed. Her master taught her many things, and unlike at Qi Tian Fortress, there was no force to bind or control her every move. She could do whatever she wanted. Her master had even taken her out for walks a few times.
"Already a year? Time flies. It's about time to let little brother Feng go out and move around a bit." Fox Moon said with a smile. Their Demon Night Island had never been so good to a human before. So many old demons had taught him cultivation!
