230: Return to Beihai

After consolidating his Cultivation, Lin Feng chose to exit his Immortal Cave. Walking out, he saw that the area outside his Immortal Cave was already peaceful and harmonious. Lin Feng took a deep breath, feeling the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the outside world, and his heart was filled with emotion.

Decades of closed-door Cultivation had given him a qualitative leap in strength, but he also knew that the path of Cultivation was endless; his current strength was merely enough to establish himself in the Cultivation World.

Lin Feng’s figure flickered, and he arrived at the main hall of Qingyun Sect. Inside the hall, Yun Yi, Lan Yudao, and Li Xuan were discussing something. Seeing Lin Feng’s sudden appearance, all of them showed joy and quickly rose to bow.

“Grand Elder, you have finally emerged from seclusion!” Yun Yi said excitedly.

Lin Feng smiled and nodded, saying, “Indeed, I have been in seclusion for decades, and my Cultivation has improved. Now, I need to understand the situation of Qingyun Sect and the various sea areas of the North Sea.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Yi immediately reported everything that had happened during this period to Lin Feng. As Lin Feng listened to the report, his brows occasionally furrowed and then relaxed. The current situation remained grim, and he had to lead the Disciples of Qingyun Sect to collectively resist the invasion of the Netherworld demonic beasts.

“Master, we have already allied with the six major sea areas to jointly resist the Netherworld demonic beasts. However, the Netherworld demonic beasts are indeed growing stronger. Please enlighten us, Master,” Lan Yudao said.

Lin Feng nodded and did not immediately reply. He said, “Indeed, the Sect has made significant progress over these years. Some Disciples have already reached Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, and I see there are quite a few. In these years, there have been over three hundred Foundation Establishment Disciples. The Sect’s strength has advanced considerably under the leadership of you three.”

After speaking, Lin Feng looked at the three and said, “You three have also worked hard during this time. Next, I will personally go to the various sea areas of the North Sea to understand the situation and find methods to combat the Netherworld demonic beasts. You three will continue to guard Qingyun Sect, ensuring the safety of the Sect. Keep these three bottles of Medicinal Pills for your own consumption.”

As Lin Feng waved his hand, three bottles of Medicinal Pills appeared in their hands. Each bottle emitted a rich medicinal fragrance; these were the Golden Essence Pills that Lin Feng himself used to Cultivate during his Golden Core stage.

Yun Yi, Lan Yudao, and Li Xuan all showed joy at this sight and quickly expressed their gratitude. They knew that these Medicinal Pills would be of immense help in improving their Cultivation.

Lin Feng smiled and nodded, saying, “You three must continue to work hard in Cultivation and improve your strength.”

Upon hearing this, all three nodded with joy, indicating that they would definitely work hard in Cultivation and live up to Lin Feng’s expectations.

Lin Feng felt quite gratified at this sight.

Subsequently, Lin Feng left the main hall, preparing to head to the various sea areas of the North Sea. The current situation remained grim. Although he had seen many reports about the North Sea and West Sea, these reports were, after all, collected by Sect Disciples whose Cultivation was not high, and they could not possibly know about matters concerning high-level Cultivators. He had to personally go to the various sea areas of the North Sea to understand the true situation before he could make a more accurate judgment.

Lin Feng’s figure flickered, transforming into a streak of light, and he flew towards the North Sea. His speed was extremely fast; in just a few days, he arrived at the border of the North Sea.

Above the North Sea, waves surged and rolled. Lin Feng stood in the Void Realm, gazing at the scene before him, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The North Sea now was no longer as it was when he left; everywhere was filled with traces of war.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, feeling the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi above the North Sea, then his figure flickered, and he submerged into the seabed. The seabed was pitch black, with only occasional flashes of spiritual light illuminating the surroundings.

Lin Feng traversed the seabed, relying on his powerful Divine Sense. He discovered that the number of Netherworld demonic beasts on the seabed had significantly increased. They were either in groups or acting alone, searching everywhere for targets to attack.

These Netherworld demonic beasts varied in form: some resembled giant octopuses with countless tentacles; others were like fierce sharks with sharp fangs; and some were like eerie ghosts, ethereal and elusive.

Lin Feng carefully avoided these Netherworld demonic beasts and continued to delve deeper into the seabed. He found that as he went deeper, the Spiritual Qi on the seabed also became increasingly dense. This place seemed to be the lair of the Netherworld demonic beasts, and also the best place for their Cultivation.

Suddenly, Lin Feng’s Divine Sense captured a powerful aura, an aura stronger than any Netherworld demonic beast he had encountered before. He followed the direction of this aura and saw a massive Netherworld demonic beast coiled within a huge underwater cave not far away.

This Netherworld demonic beast had an extremely bizarre form: it possessed a human body but a fish head, and a pair of huge wings grew on its back. Its eyes burned like flames, emitting a captivating glow. Lin Feng knew that this Netherworld demonic beast was definitely the king of this sea area.

Lin Feng cautiously approached the cave, intending to observe the Netherworld demonic beast in secret. However, just as he neared the cave, a powerful force suddenly erupted from within, pushing him back repeatedly.

Lin Feng stabilized himself, his expression solemn as he looked at the cave. He knew that this Netherworld demonic beast had already discovered him. He had to be careful, otherwise, if he provoked this Netherworld demonic beast, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just as Lin Feng was preparing to counter the Netherworld demonic beast’s attack, a low roar suddenly came from within the cave. Immediately after, Netherworld demonic beasts, one after another, surged out of the cave, charging madly towards Lin Feng’s location.

Seeing this, Lin Feng secretly cursed. He hadn’t expected this Netherworld demonic beast to be able to summon so many subordinates. He had to leave here as quickly as possible, otherwise, once surrounded by these Netherworld demonic beasts, it would be difficult for him to escape.

Lin Feng’s figure flickered, and he fled in the direction away from the cave. However, these Netherworld demonic beasts were extremely fast, and they quickly caught up to Lin Feng. Lin Feng dodged the attacks of these Netherworld demonic beasts while searching for an opportunity to escape.

Lin Feng controlled the Five Elements Revolving Disk, and at the same time, took out the Nether Soul Flute and began to play it. As the flute sound resonated, the surrounding Netherworld demonic beasts seemed to be affected by something, and their movements became sluggish.

Lin Feng seized the opportunity to accelerate, trying to shake off the entanglement of these Netherworld demonic beasts. However, just then, the massive Netherworld demonic beast suddenly flew out of the cave, attempting to block Lin Feng. Its eyes were like flames, staring intently at Lin Feng, as if it wanted to devour him alive.
