Chapter 857: The Marvelous Use of Martial Souls
"The Heavenly Book has opened. This mysterious martial soul has gained a new divine ability. It can actually imprint the marvelous profound power of the Heavenly Jade Stone into the desolate space of the martial soul. Since the Heavenly Jade Stone works, what about other treasures?"
Lin Feng seemed to have thought of something and silently asked himself.
With this thought, he sat down cross-legged again and put away the Heavenly Jade Stone. However, another treasure appeared before him: the Demon Sealing Stele.
If the martial soul could reflect the marvelous power of the Heavenly Jade Stone, could it also do the same with the Demon Sealing Stele?
With this in mind, Lin Feng placed his palm on the Demon Sealing Stele. Then, with a slight movement of his mind, a sense of guidance appeared once again, extremely mysterious.
In the Heavenly Book martial soul within his mind, within the desolate space, faint specks of light began to glow. From the Demon Sealing Stele, a strange power slowly began to be guided into the martial soul.
"It really works." Lin Feng's gaze fixed, deeply shocked. It actually worked. This meant that the desolate space born from the opening of the Heavenly Book martial soul could reflect the mysterious power contained in any treasure, allowing him to manifest it within his martial soul.
This kind of divine ability was too terrifying.
In the desolate world, because of the power flowing in from the Demon Sealing Stele, faint traces of light gradually appeared, carrying a deep radiance. Within that ink-black, profound light, a massive sealing trajectory slowly took shape, constantly flowing, exuding a powerful force of suppression and demon sealing.
The sealing character manifested in the desolate space of the martial soul was so clear. Every stroke and line was distinctly outlined. Its trajectory was no longer mysterious but was presented before Lin Feng's eyes. It seemed he could perceive a hint of this mysterious sealing power.
At this moment, Lin Feng could even feel the flow of the trajectory of the sealing character. It seemed he could also observe and utilize this power, even without the Demon Sealing Stele.
Quietly comprehending within the martial soul for a long time, Lin Feng opened his eyes. His palm trembled violently, and he casually struck forward. Instantly, a force of sealing and suppression bloomed from his palm, causing a smile to appear in Lin Feng's eyes. Indeed, the mysterious power of the Demon Sealing Stele, manifested within the Heavenly Book martial soul, allowed him to comprehend this mighty force and then use it.
This opened martial soul had given Lin Feng another great surprise. It was too miraculous. He wondered why this martial soul had been bestowed upon him, becoming his innate ability.
"The Jade Emperor Heart, this Jade Emperor Heart, the entire Jade Emperor Palace—can it also be manifested within the martial soul?" Lin Feng suddenly thought of this and immediately tested it. However, this time, the miracle did not occur. The Jade Emperor Heart could not be reflected within the martial soul; it remained completely still.
Looking at the Jade Emperor Heart he had refined, Lin Feng's gaze flickered uncertainly.
Within this Jade Emperor Heart, many powerful beings were imprisoned. Besides these strong individuals, there were also many inner halls waiting for him to explore. In the vast palace, it couldn't be that there were no other treasures.
On his way across the other shore bridge to the Jade Emperor Hall, there were many inner halls with stone doors tightly sealed. They couldn't be empty inside; it was just that he couldn't open them.
What frustrated Lin Feng even more was that although the palace imprisoned many powerful beings, he couldn't enter. Many of those people were stronger than him.
However, Lin Feng wasn't in a hurry. Those people were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. When his strength was sufficient, he would go into the Jade Emperor Hall and deal with them one by one.
"If only I could cultivate a divine ability that allows me to occupy another's body through divine consciousness. Then, I wouldn't have to kill these people. I could keep them as my slaves instead of wasting them." A thought arose in Lin Feng's mind. Killing so many powerful beings imprisoned inside would be such a waste.
Holding the Jade Emperor Heart in his hand and weighing it, Lin Feng suddenly slammed it hard against the ground, repeatedly and continuously.
At that moment, within the Jade Emperor Palace, roars of anger echoed out, as if the palace were collapsing. The people inside kept tumbling, sometimes upright, sometimes upside down.
"Lin Feng!"
"Lin Feng, I will definitely kill you!"
Angry and piercing shouts reverberated through the palace. Trapped inside and unable to escape, these people were nearly going mad. Although they were in a treasure trove, they couldn't even get out. What use were the treasures? Now, they had only one thought: to increase their strength and get out alive.
However, that bastard Lin Feng wouldn't give them a moment's peace to cultivate. Every so often, he would trigger a great earthquake, causing the palace to roll and tumble. They couldn't cultivate at all. It was a miracle they hadn't gone mad, let alone improved their cultivation.
At this rate, they feared they would eventually go mad. Yet, they had no way out. Imprisoned in the palace, no one could escape. They had even lost track of time.
...
Another seven days passed in the blink of an eye. On a snow peak of the Heavenly Lake, several people were drinking tea and playing chess together. There were four of them, each with an aura vast as the sea, unfathomable.
These four were precisely the leaders of the four main peaks of the Heavenly Lake, four peak masters.
"Fellow senior brothers, now the Heavenly Jade Peak has started recruiting disciples in the Heavenly Lake Empire again, trying to expand and grow stronger. They are ambitious. The people of the Heavenly Jade lineage are becoming more and more arrogant, especially that Lin Feng. You must have seen that day. He had just entered the Heavenly Martial Realm and was already so arrogant, looking down on everyone. He crippled Ziyun Qing right in front of me. When he grows up in the future, what will become of him?"
A figure spoke. It turned out that this person was none other than the leader of the Heavenly Pivot Peak lineage, Heavenly Pivot Master. The other three were also leaders of the main peaks.
Every so often, they liked to gather together to drink tea and discuss the Dao, either to relax and unwind or to share their attainments in the martial path. Sometimes, they also talked about matters of the Heavenly Lake and the younger disciples.
This time, they had been invited by Heavenly Pivot Master to the Heavenly Pivot Peak for a chat. It seemed that Heavenly Pivot Master still hadn't let go of what happened that day and brought it up again.
"Let's not talk about it. Let's play chess." The three all smiled but said nothing, not picking up the thread. They were all clear about what had happened that day and didn't want to get involved, lest they stir up more trouble.
At that moment, a figure slowly walked over from afar. He approached the leader of the Radiant Light Peak and called out, "Peak Master!"
"What is it?" The Radiant Light Peak Master looked at the man and asked.
The man hesitated for a moment, then directly transmitted his thoughts to the Radiant Light Peak Master. Upon hearing his words, the Radiant Light Peak Master stood up and said with a smile, "Excuse me for a moment, fellow senior brothers. I'll be right back."
With that, the Radiant Light Peak Master left with the man.
Next, a strange scene occurred. People from the other three snow peaks also arrived one after another, calling them away. They all left with a word, saying they had important matters and would return soon.
On the snow peak, only Heavenly Pivot Master remained. His face instantly darkened, but he could only wait patiently.
The Radiant Light Peak Master returned to the Radiant Light Main Peak and approached a person, a Snow Eagle from the Heavenly Jade lineage.
"What brings you here?" The Radiant Light Peak Master asked the Snow Eagle directly.
"Radiant Light Peak Master, my young master has sent me to present an item." The Snow Eagle said slowly, then stepped forward and handed a Storage Ring to the leader of the Radiant Light lineage.
Curious, the Radiant Light Peak Master probed the Storage Ring with his divine sense. In an instant, his pupils contracted sharply. He raised his head, staring intently at the Snow Eagle, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"Radiant Light Peak Master, my young master asked me to convey to you that the Heavenly Lake lineage, the seven snow peaks, are all connected. Every peak master is a pillar of the Heavenly Lake, a support. When you are strong, the Heavenly Lake can flourish." The Snow Eagle spoke slowly. Hearing his words, the Radiant Light Peak Master's expression softened, and a kind smile appeared on his face.
"Reply to your young master for me. I accept his goodwill. I understand his good intentions. The Heavenly Lake will become more and more prosperous and powerful." The Radiant Light Peak Master said with a smile.
"Very well, then I will take my leave." The Snow Eagle slightly bowed to the Radiant Light Peak Master and then departed.
After the Snow Eagle left, the Radiant Light Peak Master's gaze flickered. The Heavenly Jade lineage had produced a talent—not only powerful in talent but also far-sighted.
The same scene also occurred at the other main peaks of the Heavenly Lake, except for the Heavenly Pivot Peak, which was excluded!
