Chapter 1862: Xue Biyao's Memories
Shortly after Feng Xuan and Feng Ling'er left, Lin Feng's clone exited the Sword Pavilion and headed toward the Southern Wasteland.
The vast Eight Wastelands Realm had been the most important period of his life. Here, he had met many brothers and friends. Seeing Feng Xuan and Feng Ling'er had stirred a sense of melancholy within him. He felt he still needed to see one more person—one of the former Four Great Beauties, Xue Biyao of the Sky Dome Immortal Palace.
Nowadays, there were many rumors about Xue Biyao in the Eight Wastelands. In the past, she had lost her memory, yet it didn't seem to have been deliberately erased. She had nearly married the son of the Eastern Emperor. Now, it was said that Xue Biyao had become mysterious and unfathomable, a figure of mystery in the Eight Wastelands, and that she seemed intent on reviving the Sky Dome Immortal Palace.
Having known her before, Lin Feng wanted to see how Xue Biyao was doing now. After this, he would have no more ties to this vast small world.
Within the Sky Dome Immortal Palace, mist and clouds drifted ethereally. The small world remained as it was. On a peak shrouded in immortal clouds, a transcendent fairy maiden sat cross-legged, utterly silent, as if she were the only being in the entire void.
When Lin Feng arrived, he easily spotted Xue Biyao. He hadn't expected to find her so easily—she was right there in the Sky Dome Immortal Palace.
"Such an ethereal aura, as if she has forgotten the mortal world, forgotten herself," Lin Feng murmured inwardly as he watched Xue Biyao sitting cross-legged on the peak.
Xue Biyao seemed to sense something. Suddenly, she opened her eyes. Those beautiful eyes were clear yet deep, now tinged with a hint of doubt as she looked at Lin Feng and asked, "Who are you?"
Lin Feng's gaze froze slightly as he looked into Xue Biyao's beautiful eyes, which held confusion and a trace of coldness.
"Have you never seen me before?" Lin Feng asked.
"You seem somewhat familiar. Who exactly are you? Do we know each other?" Xue Biyao's voice turned slightly cold as she stared at Lin Feng.
"She has forgotten again," Lin Feng thought in surprise. Xue Biyao had lost her memory before, and during that wedding ceremony, they had met again. She shouldn't have failed to recognize him—unless she had truly forgotten once more.
"My name is Lin Feng. We met before in the Sky Dome Immortal Palace. I accidentally appeared in your room, we fought, and later became friends. Do you remember?" Lin Feng said calmly.
Xue Biyao shook her head slightly. "Lin Feng... I feel like I've seen you before, but I don't remember."
Lin Feng watched Xue Biyao in silence. Suddenly, he stepped forward and struck a palm directly toward her.
Xue Biyao's face turned cold. She snorted lightly, her body instantly rising into the air. A palm force surged back at him, filled with immortal qi and a terrifying icy chill. In an instant, the entire void seemed to freeze solid.
"Boom, crack!" The two palm forces collided. Lin Feng felt a layer of frost cover his entire body, as if he had been turned into winter snow.
Raising an eyebrow slightly, Lin Feng shook his body, and the frost disappeared. He looked deeply at Xue Biyao before him. Impressive. Xue Biyao's strength was formidable, no weaker than some powerful low-rank emperors of the great world.
"Hmph!" Xue Biyao snorted again. Her palm trembled, and the entire world was covered in frost and snow, threatening to freeze Lin Feng solid.
"Enough!" Lin Feng shouted loudly. The ice and snow shattered. His icy gaze caused Xue Biyao's eyes to tremble violently. Then, she felt a pair of cold pupils pierce through her mind, infiltrating her will.
"Xue Biyao, your memory is currently damaged. If you are willing to come with me, perhaps I can ask a powerful expert to examine the cause. If you are unwilling, I will leave and not disturb you again." Lin Feng's voice sounded directly in Xue Biyao's mind, causing her head to shake violently. Then, the terrifying sensation faded from her mind. Looking at Lin Feng's eyes, Xue Biyao wavered.
She also knew that her memory was indeed problematic. Aside from the Sky Dome Immortal Palace, she couldn't recall much—everything else had been forgotten.
"This has happened to you more than once. During your wedding ceremony with the Eastern Emperor's son, you had already lost your memory once. Otherwise, you would never have agreed to marry Qi Yan, the Eastern Emperor's son. Now, more than ten years have passed, and you've lost your memory again. I don't even know if you've lost it in between." Lin Feng stared at Xue Biyao and spoke slowly, stirring a great turmoil within her heart. She didn't even know if she had lost her memory in between, because she had forgotten everything from before.
"I married the Eastern Emperor's son?" Xue Biyao asked Lin Feng.
"No, the wedding was disrupted by me and some other powerful figures from the Eight Wastelands," Lin Feng replied. "My name is Lin Feng. The Medicine King Immortal Palace was destroyed by my orders. Given my strength, if I had any ill intentions toward you, you should know you wouldn't have the power to resist. Beyond this world lies the great world, filled with countless experts. I can take you out and find the cause of your memory loss. Whether you are willing or not, the decision is yours."
Xue Biyao's beautiful eyes locked tightly onto Lin Feng. Although she had lost her memory, she wasn't stupid. Given Lin Feng's strength, if he wanted to harm her, she truly couldn't resist. What Lin Feng said was likely highly credible.
Lin Feng didn't press further. He simply stared at Xue Biyao. After a moment, her beautiful eyes flickered, and she finally nodded slightly. "Alright, I'll go with you."
"From now on, whenever you encounter someone you consider an important friend or enemy, use your divine sense to record their memory. That way, the next time you forget, you can use these memories to recall what happened during that period—who your friends are and who your enemies are," Lin Feng said to Xue Biyao.
Xue Biyao's heart stirred. In the past, because she knew nothing, she had never done this. But hearing Lin Feng say that she seemed to lose her memory frequently, it was indeed necessary to do so.
The two figures flickered and left the Sky Dome Immortal Palace. Xue Biyao followed behind Lin Feng, silent, her beautiful eyes filled with many thoughts.
...
In the Underworld, Lin Feng's true body was holding the green lotus that the Green Lotus Commander had given him, quietly comprehending it. As his soul power and blood seeped into the green lotus, a connection formed between them. With a thought, the green lotus expanded, as if blooming, descending above Lin Feng's head. A strange aura spread down, coursing through Lin Feng's body.
"Lin Feng, how many types of law power have you mastered?" the Green Lotus Commander asked.
"Ten absolutes," Lin Feng replied with a smile.
The Green Lotus Commander's expression sharpened. "Ten absolutes, ten types of law power. If you can comprehend them to a certain level and achieve green lotus dao transformation, you will surely achieve great success."
"Green lotus dao transformation?" Lin Feng asked in confusion.
The Green Lotus Commander spoke, "I've already told you. The dao of the green lotus nurtures all things, embraces all things. If you can comprehend the dao of the green lotus, you will be able to do as I do."
As he spoke, the Green Lotus Commander casually struck a palm into the void. A green lotus intent appeared, and a palm of ice and frost destroyed everything, freezing the void. But in the next instant, the icy palm force transformed into a power of death, as if it wanted to devour that space.
Lin Feng's pupils contracted slightly. He looked at the Green Lotus Commander in shock. That wasn't an attack of multiple laws; it seemed like a transformation of law power.
"Do you understand?" the Green Lotus Commander asked.
"Senior just said that the green lotus intent can embrace laws and merge them into a single attack. Is that what it is?" Lin Feng asked.
"That's just the green lotus intent," Qingqing said with a light smile, showing Lin Feng a hint of amusement. "The dao of the green lotus has already absorbed laws. At that point, your laws become like a single law, and that single law is all laws."
"One law, all laws!" Lin Feng's pupils contracted. "Qingqing, do you mean that I only need to cultivate one type of law power, and as it improves, all other laws will improve as well? And when I want to attack, that one law is actually multiple laws?"
"Yes." Qingqing smiled and nodded.
Lin Feng's heart trembled. The vast world was truly full of wonders. The Green Lotus Commander of the Underworld had achieved green lotus dao transformation and possessed such an extraordinary ability.
"I cultivate ten types of law power. Cultivating them all simultaneously is impossible—they are uneven. If I can master the dao of the green lotus, wouldn't I only need to focus on one type of law to control ten powerful laws?" Lin Feng murmured. Not only that, but it would also allow the laws to merge better in attacks, making his divine abilities even more powerful.
"The more laws you have, the greater the benefit, of course," the Green Lotus Commander nodded slightly. "Now you should understand why I favor you. On the battle platform, you displayed multiple types of law power. However, I cultivate the dao of the green lotus because the green lotus is my lifebound lotus. You are different. Being able to comprehend the green lotus intent is already commendable."
"Senior's guidance, Lin Feng will remember in his heart."
Lin Feng showed gratitude to the Green Lotus Commander. As a commander of a hell realm, the Green Lotus Commander treated him so well; he could only be grateful.
"This is your opportunity," the Green Lotus Commander said with a smile. "Lin Feng, are you interested in joining the City Lord's Mansion's army? If not, why not follow me for now?"
"Then Lin Feng will continue to trouble the commander," Lin Feng said with a smile, agreeing readily. The Green Lotus Commander intended to nurture him. Following him would be better than joining the City Lord's Mansion's army. Moreover, being in direct contact with a commander would make it easier to approach Emperor Song later and find a way back!
