178: Encounter with Zhou Xingtong

During the time his Clone was away, Lin Feng had been Cultivating in the Sect. Since the Sea Demon Sect and his Sect had made peace, and with Sect Master Wei Wuya of the Sea Demon Sect injured, the Blue Sea Region had been calm for two or three years.

This time, the Clone had killed many Netherworld Beasts in the Nether Sea Region. Third-tier Netherworld Beasts had unique Netherworld Pearls on them, which were extremely helpful for Cultivating Netherworld-attribute Cultivation Techniques. Wang Sicong gave the Netherworld Pearls to Lin Feng, and a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Feng's eyes as he looked at them.

He picked up a Netherworld Pearl, examined it carefully for a moment, then said, "These Netherworld Pearls are indeed quite helpful for Cultivating Netherworld-attribute Cultivation Techniques. It seems your trip wasn't in vain since you managed to obtain these Netherworld Pearls."

Wang Sicong was delighted to hear this. Lin Feng was extremely satisfied with his performance. So, he spoke, "Body, I also obtained two bottles of Golden Essence Pills on this trip, which are also very helpful for improving Cultivation."

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Golden Essence Pills are indeed good for improving Cultivation. However, they are useless to me, so you should use them yourself."

Wang Sicong was even happier to hear Lin Feng's praise. He knew that his adventure this time had indeed been fruitful.

Next, Lin Feng began to study the Cultivation Technique, Netherworld Flute Sound Art. He discovered that this Cultivation Technique primarily used sound wave attacks, capable of disturbing an enemy's mind and even causing substantial physical damage, making it an extremely formidable Cultivation Technique.

Lin Feng looked at Wang Sicong and said, "This Netherworld Flute Sound Art is indeed an extremely powerful Cultivation Technique. It is your Opportunity that you were able to obtain it this time. I will also make a copy for myself."

After pondering for a while, Lin Feng had the Wang Sicong Clone guard the Sect. He planned to take the Materials the Clone had obtained on this trip to the Demon Spirit Continent to exchange for other Materials.

Lin Feng already had a plan in mind; he wanted to use these Materials to exchange for items that would help him Cultivate the Netherworld Flute Sound Art. After all, while this Cultivation Technique was powerful, it also required corresponding auxiliary items to better unleash its full potential.

Lin Feng organized the Materials obtained by his Clone and then headed to the Demon Spirit Continent. With his current Late stage of the Golden Core Realm Cultivation, Lin Feng no longer needed to worry about his enemy, the old fox Baili Yunhe.

Back then, when he left Cloud Hidden City and teamed up with Qingyun to kill his grandson, Baili Xing, Baili Yunhe was only at the Early stage Golden Core. Even if he had been a Nascent Soul Cultivator back then, after his Possession of Shi Potian, even if he Cultivated quickly over the years, he would only be at the Middle Stage Golden Core. Lin Feng had no need to worry at all.

Lin Feng went directly to Cloud Hidden City and found his friend, Yuming Tower. At this time, Yuming Tower had also achieved a Breakthrough to the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Realm and had just entered the Golden Core. When he saw Lin Feng, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said, "Brother Lin, why have you come?"

Lin Feng smiled faintly and said, "I've come to exchange for some Materials with you."

Yuming Tower nodded upon hearing this and said, "No problem, Brother Lin. Just tell me what Materials you need."

Lin Feng handed the list of Materials in his hand to Yuming Tower. Yuming Tower took the list, glanced at it, and then said, "Brother Lin, I have some of these Materials, but some you'll need to find elsewhere."

Lin Feng's heart stirred upon hearing this, and he asked, "Oh? Where are these places?"

Yuming Tower pondered for a moment, then said, "In the northern part of the Demon Spirit Continent, there is a place called the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, where many rare Materials can be found. However, the Yao Beasts there are powerful, so you must be careful if you go to exchange for anything."

Lin Feng nodded upon hearing this and said, "Thank you, Brother Yu, for the information. I will be careful."

Seeing that Lin Feng intended to go directly, Yuming Tower pondered for a moment, then took out a Jade Slip from his Storage Ring and said, "Brother Lin, this is some information about the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range that I've collected over the years. Take it as a reference."

Lin Feng took the Jade Slip, immersed his Divine Sense into it, and read it carefully. A moment later, he put away the Jade Slip and said, "Brother Yu, this information is very helpful to me. Thank you."

Yuming Tower smiled and said, "You're too polite, Brother Lin. We are friends; helping each other is only natural."

"Brother Lin, my master might also be going to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range soon. He is also very interested in rare Materials, so perhaps you two might meet," Yuming Tower said.

Lin Feng's heart stirred upon hearing this, and he asked, "Oh? Your master is also going to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range? I wonder when Fellow Daoist Zhou will depart?"

Yuming Tower thought for a moment and said, "It should be in the next few days. My master's whereabouts are uncertain, so I'm not very clear on the exact time."

Lin Feng nodded upon hearing this and said, "I see. Well, if fate allows, perhaps I can meet Fellow Daoist Zhou. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't be going with Fellow Daoist Zhou."

Lin Feng bid farewell to Yuming Tower and embarked on his journey to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

Along the way, Lin Feng proceeded cautiously, constantly alert to his surroundings. After all, the Yao Beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range were powerful, and a moment of carelessness could lead to danger.

The Demon Spirit Continent revered the Yao Race, and the Human Race held a low status there, often subjected to bullying by the Yao Race. However, Lin Feng did not care about this. He carefully concealed his aura along the way. With his current strength, as long as he didn't stir up trouble, there were not many people on the Demon Spirit Continent who could kill him.

After several months of travel, Lin Feng finally arrived at the outer reaches of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. He looked up to see continuous mountain ranges, shrouded in mist, with powerful Yao Beast auras emanating from within, inspiring awe and fear.

Along the way, Lin Feng encountered many Yao Beasts. Some were weak, and he could easily kill them. But some were powerful, and he had to use all his skills just to barely repel them.

After several days of arduous trekking, Lin Feng finally arrived at the depths of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. There were numerous Yao Beasts here, and all of them were extremely powerful. Lin Feng proceeded cautiously, always ready to deal with potential dangers.

Just then, he suddenly heard a fierce battle ahead. Lin Feng's heart stirred, and he quickly followed the sound. He wanted to see who was fighting there, perhaps he could learn some combat techniques from it.

When he arrived at the source of the fighting, he saw a black-robed elder locked in an intense battle with a giant Yao Beast. The Yao Beast was enormous, covered in black scales, with a pair of blood-red eyes gleaming with ferocity. The elder, however, appeared extremely dishevelled, with multiple injuries, clearly unable to hold on much longer.

Lin Feng's heart stirred at the sight. That elder was none other than Yuming Tower's master, Zhou Xingtong. Zhou Xingtong was also a Beast Tamer and had a considerable reputation in Cloud Hidden City. The two had collaborated many times over the years. Lin Feng hadn't expected to encounter him here, and from the looks of it, Zhou Xingtong was clearly in great trouble.

Without hesitation, Lin Feng immediately activated his magic power, his figure rushing towards the battlefield like a ghost.
