Chapter 587: Cultivation Phenomenon
Night, silent as water, all sounds stilled.
Within a courtyard pavilion, a figure sat cross-legged, his body shimmering brightly, as if flames flickered faintly within.
His features were delicate and handsome, the lines of his face exceptionally distinct. As he cultivated, a peculiar luster danced across his cheeks, adding a touch more refinement to his already elegant countenance.
This figure was naturally Lin Feng. However, at this moment, he had removed his mask and returned to his original appearance.
Although his true essence power was sealed by medicine, this did not hinder Lin Feng's cultivation. As the Great Sun Incinerating Heaven Scripture circulated, Lin Feng's entire body was wreathed in the light of flames.
Especially since he had drunk over a dozen pots of Blazing Essence Wine in one go today, it caused the true essence power within Lin Feng to stir restlessly, continuously breaking through the seal of the medicine, gradually recovering. Now, the true essence power within him was very close to the Mysterious Martial Realm. It was terrifyingly fast; soon, his cultivation strength would be able to recover to the Mysterious Martial Realm, of course, excluding his physical strength.
The light of the flames grew denser and denser. On Lin Feng's body, a sun pattern actually appeared, as if all the flames were converging towards this sun. In the darkness of the void, it seemed a beam of light, a blurry phantom beam, descended from the sky, landing upon the sun pattern.
The sun exists both day and night; it's just that at night, the sun's light is blocked, invisible to the eye.
Yet at this moment, Lin Feng had actually drawn a faint, illusory ray of sunlight, causing it to fall from the heavens.
The Great Sun Incinerating Heaven Scripture, a solar cultivation technique, was infinitely profound. It was far more than just four simple words. When this technique was cultivated to its peak, it was enough to borrow the power of the sun from heaven and earth, incinerating everything.
This blurry, illusory ray of sunlight grew more and more solid as Lin Feng cultivated. Outside this courtyard, many people looked up, astonished, at the night sky. That faint, blurry beam was now visible even to them, which was extremely strange.
It seemed someone was cultivating some kind of technique.
However, although they saw it, the crowd chose to ignore it, each busy with their own affairs, even if their hearts were full of curiosity.
But sometimes, curiosity can kill. The person cultivating could draw upon the power of heaven and earth, causing a beam of light to fall from the sky. He must be some incredibly powerful senior expert in cultivation. If they spied on his cultivation and disturbed him, it would be too late for regrets. They wouldn't even know how they died. Therefore, they would rather bury this curiosity in their hearts.
In Heavenly Dragon City, they had also seen situations where cultivation triggered phenomena or even the power of heaven and earth. Generally, no one dared to disturb or spy on it, unless they were tired of living.
However, at this moment, someone seemed to be tired of living.
Not far outside the courtyard, a small figure was looking up at the beam of light falling from the sky, flickering continuously as she moved towards the courtyard.
"How could this be? It should be here."
The figure murmured softly to herself, finding it a bit strange, and paused for a moment.
After thinking for a while, her eyes flickered. She gritted her teeth and continued flickering towards the courtyard. Arriving at the high wall outside the courtyard, she stamped her foot on the ground, leaping into the air, heading straight for the direction of the beam of light.
After a moment, she saw a figure in a pavilion within the courtyard, its back to her, its entire body bathed in flames, extremely dazzling and brilliant. On its body, a sun pattern was faintly visible. And from the sky, light was falling, landing on this person. It was this person's cultivation that had drawn the beam of light from heaven and earth.
"What a powerful flame technique."
Lan Jiao's eyes revealed a look of shock. Cultivating this flame technique, generating a sun pattern, drawing a beam of light from the sky—this technique was definitely an incredibly powerful one.
She wondered who this cultivator was.
"Who?"
At this moment, a cold shout came from Lin Feng's mouth. While cultivating, he faintly sensed someone spying on him. His mind immediately tensed, and he woke from his cultivation state.
Reaching up to wipe his face, Lin Feng's handsome, refined features were covered with a sallow color as he put on his human skin mask. At the same time, his body flickered. In the darkness, his speed was as swift as the wind. In an instant, he was beside Lan Jiao, and a fierce punch was thrown directly.
Lan Jiao's whole body suddenly tensed up. She wanted to retreat, but it was too late. The person's speed was too fast. In the blink of an eye, the fist was right before her eyes. She closed her eyes, as if waiting for the fist to land, to smash into her face.
The fierce wind of the fist blew Lan Jiao's long hair, making it flutter. Lan Jiao's heart pounded wildly. Was she about to die?
But after a moment, the fierce wind continued, but the fist never landed. She couldn't help but open her eyes a crack, then opened them completely, looking at the face before her.
Just as Qing Mengxin had described, it was a slightly sickly, sallow complexion. His eyes were very clear, but now, because of her spying, they held a hint of coldness.
"It's not him?"
Lan Jiao silently asked herself. She had heard Qing Mengxin say that this person was also called Lin Feng, but he wasn't that Lin Feng. She hadn't believed it. She had hoped this person was the missing Lin Feng. But after seeing him, she knew Qing Mengxin hadn't lied to her. This Lin Feng was indeed a different person. However, Lan Jiao still doubted it. Was this really not Lin Feng?
"I spied on your cultivation. Why didn't you kill me?"
Lan Jiao's gaze was fixed tightly on Lin Feng as she asked, causing Lin Feng to frown. He had stopped because he had seen Lan Jiao's face; otherwise, he really would have struck.
"I don't want to kill. I'll pretend what just happened never occurred. You can leave now." Lin Feng flicked his sleeve and said coldly.
"You didn't kill me because you know me. You couldn't bring yourself to attack me."
Lan Jiao continued to stare at Lin Feng, questioning him.
"Do you think it's possible that I know you?" Lin Feng said coldly. "Leave now, before I change my mind."
"Lin Feng, you don't need to deceive me. When you turned around, there was clearly killing intent, but you stopped only after seeing my face. You clearly know me. You are Lin Feng." A hint of a smile appeared on Lan Jiao's face, causing Lin Feng's brow to furrow. He hadn't expected to run into this girl again.
"Don't you trust even me? I know that you appearing with a different face must be related to your disappearance. But do you think I would betray you?"
Lan Jiao seemed a bit hurt. Lin Feng didn't trust her at all.
Lin Feng's brow gradually relaxed. He turned and walked towards the room, saying, "Go back quickly. Otherwise, you really will be betraying me."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Lan Jiao was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared in her eyes. She said, "I knew you wouldn't be in trouble so easily. Don't cultivate outside next time. Your technique is too powerful; it will draw a beam of sunlight, making it too conspicuous."
The reason Lan Jiao had suspected he was Lin Feng despite seeing the sallow complexion was because of the technique he was cultivating, which generated a sun pattern. Back in the Snow Moon Kingdom at the Heavenly One Academy, she had once accidentally spied on Lin Feng while he was bathing and had seen this magnificent sun pattern. So she insisted he was Lin Feng.
Hearing Lan Jiao's words, Lin Feng paused in his steps. It would draw a beam of sunlight?
He hadn't known that himself. After all, when he cultivated, he couldn't see the external phenomena. Although his true essence power was currently sealed, Lin Feng faintly felt that his cultivation was smoother than before.
"I understand."
Lin Feng nodded, then lifted his foot and walked into the house. Tomorrow, they would set out for the Snow Domain Mysterious City. Today's cultivation would end here. He would take a good bath and then rest, recharging his energy to prepare to step onto another land.
Only when he reached the Snow Domain Mysterious City would he truly come into contact with the experts of the entire Snow Domain, with the thirteen kingdoms of the Snow Domain. This would be his first step onto the continent.
Seeing Lin Feng enter the room, Lan Jiao smiled and turned around. Confirming that Lin Feng was fine was enough.
Turning, Lan Jiao's body flickered, and she quickly stepped out of the courtyard, then headed into the distance, her figure disappearing into the darkness.
However, just after Lan Jiao left, in a shadowy area outside the courtyard, a dark figure emerged. This figure was like a shadow, merely glancing at Lan Jiao in the distance. Then, his body trembled, and he completely merged into the darkness.
