# Chapter 1860: Green Lotus
"Brother Lin Feng, although this City Lord's Mansion is a single prefecture, you can think of it as a vast city. If there's anywhere you wish to go, just say the word, and I'll lead the way." Wang Zhuo was quite courteous to Lin Feng as he spoke.
"I'd like to visit the Sutra Library. I wonder where I can find ancient scriptures and divine ability techniques." Lin Feng was direct, asking his question. Now that he had arrived in this vast Netherworld, he naturally wanted to first see how the ancient scriptures of the Netherworld differed from others.
"Since you've already cultivated such a powerful technique, why bother looking at other ancient scriptures and techniques?" Qin Yao said coldly from the side. Lin Feng's Ten Thousand Calamities Indestructible Heavenly Demon Art summoned the Heavenly Demon Tribulation Force. Although she didn't know the specific technique, just from seeing its terrifying power, she could tell that the technique Lin Feng cultivated was extremely formidable.
"What kind of place is the City Lord's Mansion? Surely there must be some extraordinary scriptures. What's wrong with me admiring them? Of course, if it's not permitted, then forget it." Lin Feng said calmly, not even looking at Qin Yao. This woman, having lost to him, seemed to hold quite a grudge.
"In the outer city, there are several halls containing ancient scriptures and various powerful divine abilities for the disciples of the City Lord's Mansion to cultivate. Lin Feng, since you can now freely enter and exit the outer city of the City Lord's Mansion, you naturally have access." Wang Zhuo maintained his warm smile as he spoke to Lin Feng.
Within this City Lord's Mansion, there were one hundred and eight city lord legions, thirty-six Nether Emperor legions, and seventy-two Nether King legions. Aside from a few who had their own private residences, most only had the right to move about in the outer city. As legions serving under Emperor Song, how could they lack ancient scriptures and divine ability techniques to cultivate?
Wang Zhuo and the other two sped up, flickering deeper into the City Lord's Mansion. Before long, they arrived at a Sutra Library, which stood there like a dark pagoda.
Lin Feng and the others passed through without obstruction and entered the Sutra Library. Everything they saw was darkness—this was a characteristic of the Netherworld, and the Sutra Library was no exception. As for the rest, there wasn't much difference from the Nine Heavens Continent.
"This Sutra Library is not easily accessible even for those who have joined the City Lord's legions. Brother Lin, because of your nine consecutive victories, you are permitted entry. As for Qin Yao, she only has some convenience due to her relationship with Commander Black Rope." Wang Zhuo said with a smile.
"Hmph, I'll earn this privilege myself. Besides, although my father is Commander Black Rope, aside from being able to cultivate some ancient scriptures and divine abilities, I have no other privileges. In this City Lord's Mansion, strength still speaks." Qin Yao remained cold-faced, which made Lin Feng feel somewhat annoyed. He had only defeated her—why did it feel like he owed her something?
"Sword Blind, he's here too." At this moment, Wang Zhuo looked toward another direction. There was Sword Blind, touching a jade slip. Since his eyes were blind, he could only read the ancient scriptures and techniques within the jade slips.
Lin Feng glanced at Sword Blind, then withdrew his gaze and picked up a jade slip himself, his divine sense penetrating into it.
"Nether Heavenly Fire Scripture." Lin Feng scanned with his divine sense. This ancient scripture was a technique suitable for those who possessed the Fire Law, refining Nether Heavenly Fire to create infinite flame power. Lin Feng glanced at Qin Yao and smiled, "You have Hellfire, so this technique should suit you. But I imagine the princess has better ancient scriptures to cultivate."
With that, Lin Feng put down the jade slip and continued toward other jade slips. Time passed slowly as Lin Feng carefully examined these techniques and ancient scriptures. He discovered that most of the ancient scriptures in the Netherworld contained Nether power, and many were about Nether Fire or similar arts. There were also powerful ancient scriptures for cultivating Hell power, with infinite might.
As for divine abilities, they were diverse, including Nether power abilities and Hell abilities. However, abilities similar to those of the Nine Heavens Continent were not lacking, as people with different constitutions had different requirements for divine abilities.
"You really have nothing better to do." After quite some time, Lin Feng was still in the hall, earnestly studying the ancient scriptures. Sometimes he would linger before a jade slip for a long time, causing Qin Yao to speak impatiently.
"I have shallow knowledge, so naturally I want to broaden my horizons." Lin Feng smiled nonchalantly. "If Princess Qin Yao finds it troublesome, you're free to leave. I never asked you to accompany me."
Qin Yao's expression stiffened at Lin Feng's words, then she stared coldly at him. "Accompany you? Don't flatter yourself. I just want to see what the person who luckily defeated me intends to do."
"In that case, I'd ask Princess Qin Yao not to disturb me." Lin Feng said indifferently, then continued probing the techniques with his divine sense. In fact, when he encountered some marvelous and powerful techniques, he would completely memorize them with his divine sense. These ancient scriptures and techniques weren't too precious for those who could enter this place, but if taken outside, they would be treasures.
Of course, those who could enter here were already extraordinary people.
After a long time, even Wang Zhuo couldn't wait any longer. He smiled and took his leave from Lin Feng, ultimately not continuing to accompany Lin Feng in exploring the City Lord's Mansion. This Lin Feng was too patient—he had stayed in this Sutra Library for half a day without any sign of wanting to leave. Wang Zhuo didn't have the patience to wait that long.
However, Qin Yao still hadn't left. But she wasn't following Lin Feng anymore; she was looking at some divine abilities on her own.
"Lin Feng." At this moment, a clear voice rang out. Lin Feng looked up and saw a fair, beautiful face.
"Why is Princess Qingqing here too?" Lin Feng smiled slightly. This young woman was none other than Qingqing, the daughter of Commander Green Lotus.
"I came here to find an ancient scripture." Qingqing said softly with a smile. "Lin Feng, how long have you been here?"
"I've been here the whole time." Lin Feng smiled, which made Qingqing pause in surprise. "The whole time? You haven't gone anywhere else?"
"Yes." Lin Feng nodded.
Hearing this, Qingqing couldn't help but laugh, a hint of charm in her smile. Then she said, "Are you free now? Why not come to the Green Lotus Commander's residence? My father thinks highly of you and even wants to teach you how to use that green lotus."
"Have you found the ancient scripture you need, Princess Qingqing?" Lin Feng asked. Qingqing nodded, and Lin Feng said, "In that case, I gladly accept."
"Good. My father will be very pleased. And please, don't call me Princess Qingqing anymore—just call me Qingqing."
The two left the hall laughing, completely ignoring Qin Yao, who was not far away. Qin Yao watched their departing figures, her eyes flickering, then a look of anger appeared on her face. Those two... they were going too far.
As Lin Feng left, he saw Sword Blind still there and silently remarked that this guy was truly a martial arts fanatic.
"Lin Feng, besides coming to the Sutra Library, don't you want to look around?" Qingqing asked Lin Feng. She was quite curious about him. This person seemed very unfamiliar with the City Lord's Mansion, and there was no sign that he had already reached the Mid-rank Nether King level.
"Aside from ancient scriptures and techniques, there are the legions. As for battle platforms, they're outside. What other good places are there here?" Lin Feng asked.
"There are some special places in the City Lord's Mansion." Qingqing smiled at Lin Feng's words. "But you definitely won't be disappointed if you go to my father's place."
The two headed toward the left side of the City Lord's Mansion. The private residences of the City Lord's Mansion were located on the left and right sides. These were private estates that couldn't be entered casually—unless someone led the way, which was a different matter. At this moment, Qingqing was bringing Lin Feng to a marvelous place.
The Green Lotus Commander's residence seemed to be a separate space. The entire void appeared to be covered with a layer of frost, like melting ice and snow. The whole area was clean, ethereal, and very quiet.
When Lin Feng arrived, Commander Green Lotus was sitting cross-legged before a pond, meditating with his eyes closed.
"Lin Feng." Commander Green Lotus opened his eyes, turned around, and nodded with a smile when he saw Lin Feng.
"I've come uninvited. I hope I'm not disturbing you, Commander." Lin Feng felt that Commander Green Lotus was a good person, approachable, and Qingqing was the same. Otherwise, he wouldn't have followed her here.
"Having someone to disturb me is actually a pleasant thing." Commander Green Lotus remained seated. "Come, sit with me and look at the lotus in the pond."
Lin Feng walked to the edge of the pond and saw green lotuses planted in the water, nurturing the aura of all things, encompassing the power of heaven and earth. Lin Feng felt a refreshing aura rushing toward him, as if his entire being had become ethereal and immortal.
"What a marvelous aura." Lin Feng exclaimed. Commander Green Lotus smiled and said, "This is the Green Lotus Dao. Take out that green lotus and have a look."
Lin Feng nodded slightly. With a thought, the green lotus appeared in his hand.
"Try releasing your various law forces." Commander Green Lotus said.
Lin Feng released his laws. In an instant, he felt enveloped by a marvelous aura. The various laws seemed to be encompassed within the Green Lotus intent.
"This green lotus is my lifebound green lotus, possessing the intent to nurture all things and encompass all things. You have multiple law forces. If you use the Green Lotus intent while cultivating, when you fuse the laws into your divine ability attacks, they will surely be more balanced." Commander Green Lotus said, which greatly moved Lin Feng. He hadn't expected this green lotus to have such a wonderful use!
