Amidst the vast mountains and rivers, stretching for millions of miles, under a clear sky, an ancient sailboat raced through the void like a startled swan, passing by in a flash.
Lin Feng sat on the ancient sailboat, amidst rolling clouds, barely able to see the ground below. Only occasionally did travelers brush past him through the clouds, but they all kept to themselves. The world was vast and boundless, and Lin Feng on his ancient sailboat was but a single grain of sand in the ocean—everyone passing by was merely a traveler.
This boundless world was endless. Lin Feng sat on the ancient sailboat, touring the heavens and earth, finding it quite enjoyable. This journey to the Holy City Central Continent was extremely far. Although the ancient sailboat was terrifyingly fast, it would still take some time to arrive. Therefore, Lin Feng was in no hurry; taking in the scenery of this great world was a wonderful thing in itself.
A few days later, Lin Feng descended to the ground and entered a major city. This city was vast and prosperous, though not as formidable as the Heavenly Capital, Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, it was still far beyond what Flame Gold City could compare to. After a day of sightseeing, Lin Feng set off again. Along the way, he would occasionally see major cities standing tall upon the earth, filling him with emotion. Just the Qing Xiao Continent alone was so vast—how big was the entire Nine Heavens Continent? How wide? How many people lived there? It was simply unimaginable. Therefore, no matter how many powerful experts or monstrous prodigies there were, it was not surprising. In such an endless, terrifyingly vast foundation, how could there not be extraordinary figures? In a world that had evolved over countless epochs, how could it not produce endless experts?
Whether it was an ancient clan or an ancient saint clan, in the distant past, they might have been propped up by a single supreme figure. The founders of those ancient saint clans were once perhaps just one among the vast sea of humanity. Therefore, those who revered the martial path admired the strong, chased after the strong, never ceasing. Their minds were resilient; they gave everything to pursue the path of martial arts. One day, when they climbed high and looked far, looking back over a million years, they would have already created their own world.
Lin Feng did not rush madly, but neither did he stay too long in one place. He simply treated it as a journey, observing the countless affairs of this great world.
At this moment, Lin Feng stood on a stretch of emerald green grassland, gazing at millions of miles of lush green leaves. Everything was green, thriving and prosperous, filled with the breath of life.
"Life!" Lin Feng's expression was calm, as gentle as the wind and light clouds, as if he were merging with this green expanse.
"The power of life lies in creation. Life and death are opposites. Death destroys everything—people, demons, plants, all things. Life can restore all things in heaven and earth, creating life." Lin Feng watched the growth of all things, murmuring to himself. Suddenly, around Lin Feng, the grass and trees shot upward, growing wildly. In the void, above the nine heavens, terrifying clouds rolled and churned. However, these rolling clouds were exceptionally strange. With such momentum, there was no destructive force, only a tribulation of life.
"Life Law is born. How does a life tribulation descend?" Lin Feng looked up at the Law power rolling in the void. Apart from life, all other Laws could form tribulations—killing, destroying, annihilating everything. But life was about creation, about revival. How could this tribulation descend?
The life tribulation in the void rolled endlessly. Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, as if standing proudly beneath the heavens. Would the tribulation of Life Law be a different kind of tribulation?
Terrifying Life Law crazily gathered in the sky. Endless green light crashed down from the heavens, striking Lin Feng's body. In an instant, Lin Feng felt an infinite amount of life force surge into his body. At the same time, a terrifying life force spread outward from his body in all directions. The surrounding grass and trees shot upward, transforming into towering ancient trees, majestic and spectacular.
"Such strong life force. A life tribulation—can this still be called a tribulation?" Lin Feng stood with a smile, his entire body seemingly filled with a surging vitality. His life force was like a vast ocean, rolling and surging. This life force seemed about to tear his body apart, but at this moment, Lin Feng's body was like a sea accepting all rivers, swallowing all the surging life energy.
"Boom!" Another Law tribulation struck down. Lin Feng's body shook, but this tremor was no longer enough to shake his physical form. However, Lin Feng felt the life force trying to tear him apart.
"Roar!" Suddenly, within Lin Feng's body, blood vessels surged like a great river, with dragon roars echoing. It seemed as if heaven and earth were shaking. This scene caused Lin Feng's pupils to contract slightly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"The dragon within his body is about to awaken?"
Lin Feng's eyes flashed with sharpness. In the past, when the moon set and the crows cried, the Wu River flowed backward, revealing an ancient dragon palace underground. Lin Feng had obtained the dragon embryo and the dragon bloodline, nourishing the dragon fetus. Now, terrifying life energy was pouring into his body, dragon roars echoed, and his blood vessels surged like a great river. Was the dragon fetus about to emerge?
The third life tribulation struck down. Even stronger life force rushed into Lin Feng's body. Dragon shadow halos appeared around Lin Feng, dazzlingly bright. The surrounding area transformed from emerald green grassland into a forest of towering ancient trees, enveloping his body. Auspicious energy rolled upward, surging into the clouds.
Only then did the tribulation slowly dissipate.
Lin Feng looked at the sky through the gaps in the towering ancient trees, a faint smile appearing on his face. It was as if he had been buried within this verdant green.
With a thought, his martial soul appeared. On one page of the martial soul, World Force spread out, enveloping this space.
"The power of life lies in creation." Lin Feng said with a smile. The World Force of his martial soul transformed into a towering ancient tree, wrapping his body within it, interweaving with the surrounding ancient trees. Here, there was no longer Lin Feng, only a verdant forest, a grove of ancient trees.
In the distance, when Lin Feng endured the life tribulation, people within millions of miles looked toward the sky in this direction, their hearts shaken. That terrifying life force just now—was it the Law infusion of becoming an emperor? But why did they feel it was the wrath of life? Law infusion did not seem to be like this.
Those nearby were even more shaken. Beyond the life energy, there was even auspicious light in the sky. However, this auspicious light seemed tinged with a faint blackness, as if it were ominous, accompanied by dragon roars. They had never encountered such a strange phenomenon, unheard of, a true wonder of heaven and earth.
Countless figures flew over. When they arrived, they found no one there, no trace of a dragon, only a dense green forest.
"Could it be a powerful life cultivator?" People thought to themselves. Many left in disappointment, but a few ordinary martial artists began searching this green area, as if looking for some treasure.
"This place is not far from the Holy City Central Continent. On this vast land, there are such weak people. How do they even survive?" The crowd stared at those ordinary martial artists. They were all young, perhaps not yet fully grown, around fifteen or sixteen years old. But their cultivation was truly too weak—at the Mysterious Martial Realm, and one young one was only at the Spirit Martial Realm.
"No wonder they're looking for herbs here. This place has been baptized by life force. Some plants contain strong life energy and can be used as medicine. But how useful can such herbs be?" Many people showed disdain in their eyes, then flicked their sleeves and left.
"Brother, they seem to look down on us." At this moment, a young girl said to the young man beside her, pouting slightly, as if a little displeased.
"They don't understand our clan's pharmacology. Why bother with them?" The young man was relatively calm, as if used to it. When he followed the elders of his clan to gather herbs, he had often encountered contemptuous looks. Now he had gradually grown accustomed to it. Different paths, not worth getting angry over.
"Right. Our clan doesn't take pills like they do. We use medicine to change heaven and earth, achieving greatness later in life. They are ignorant." The young girl said with a smile.
"Alright. There's auspicious dragon energy here. Let's continue looking for herbs. There might be Dragon Vein Grass here." The young man continued to search carefully, lowering his head. When heaven and earth show strange phenomena, precious things must appear. Such places often yield valuable plants for making medicine. If they could find Dragon Vein Grass containing dragon essence, they could use it as nourishment to prepare better medicine.
Several people began to search, very carefully. Although their cultivation was low, they seemed to have a stubborn persistence, wanting to search every inch of this area for hundreds of miles. After all, the scope of the heavenly phenomenon was wide, causing many useful plants to sprout here.
"Brother, this ancient tree is a bit strange." At this moment, the young girl called out. The others came over and saw a particular ancient tree. Their eyes showed a strange expression.
"It does seem a bit odd. Although it also has vigorous life force, it seems much denser, completely different from the surrounding trees." One young man spoke, and the others nodded. They also felt the unusual nature of this tree.
"Brother, could it be a precious tree?" The young girl's eyes showed a hint of eagerness.
"Don't damage it. Uproot it completely. We'll take it back to the clan." The young man said with a smile. Then several of them worked together to dig up the earth, exposing the tree's massive roots.
"What's going on? It won't go into the storage ring?" The young man's expression froze. Such a strange tree—the storage ring couldn't take it. The others tried as well, all to no avail. The storage ring really couldn't take the tree.
"Never mind. We'll carry it back. It might be a very precious tree." The young man said. The others nodded, then lifted the tree and carried it away, their steps heavy. They hadn't expected this tree to be so heavy.
Poor Lin Feng was currently in a dream, in seclusion, completely unaware that the tree he had transformed from a wisp of World Force was being carried away!
