Chapter 2698: Power of Death

As soon as everyone left, Ma Biaohu couldn’t hold it in anymore and exhaled loudly, saying, "Man, not being allowed to talk was killing me. They finally left. In that room I felt like I was about to be crushed to death by that depressing aura."

"Who said you couldn’t talk? You could have talked." Lin Feng smiled faintly and said to Ma Biaohu, then started pondering something.

Tangyuan flew onto Lin Feng’s shoulder and asked, "Boss, were you chatting with that old man just now?"

"Yeah. I feel this Alien Race is really different. Looks like we need to go to the main city and take a look as soon as possible." Lin Feng said. He still didn’t know how the Alien Race had been transformed, and he also wanted to witness the Power of Death for himself. Plus, he felt the clues in his hands were basically useless. If he wanted to form good relations with the Alien Race, where exactly should he go?

"Boss, what Cultivation Technique does this Alien Race practice?" The Purple Thunder Transforming Sky Dragon and the Nether Thunder Heaven Devouring Tiger had long sensed something off. Even though they were Demon Beasts, they could still feel the aura of experts. This was just a small village, yet every person in this house seemed to carry a different kind of pressure. Just imagining that kind of strength was terrifying.

"The village head said it’s the Power of Death." Lin Feng explained to everyone.

"Power of Death?" When Tangyuan heard Lin Feng’s words, those four characters flashed through its mind as if it had heard of them somewhere before. Then it spat out a book and started flipping through it, and finally, it found it.

It handed the book to Lin Feng. Written on it was that the Power of Death was a type of cultivation leaning toward spiritual power. The people of the Alien Race rarely used physical force to attack. Instead, they would lock eyes with Humans; a beam of light would pass through the Human’s eyes into their brain, disrupting their spiritual power, allowing them to win without fighting.

Seeing this explanation, everyone suddenly fell silent, finding it truly terrifying. If it could really disrupt a person’s spiritual power, wouldn’t killing someone be as easy as lifting a finger? Then how exactly was the Power of Death extracted? This made Lin Feng even more curious.

Seeing that everyone was already exhausted, Lin Feng didn’t say much more to them and walked out of the house alone. He saw a bright full moon hanging in the sky, turning all the snow-white into a faint silver. Such a beautiful scene actually drew him into deep thought.

He thought about the future development of the Sect and how all the powers of the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm would come to oppose his Sect, and he let out a long sigh. His thoughts drifted back to Earth; he thought of his master, wondered how the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm was now, then thought of his parents in the lower realm, and of the days back then.

If he hadn’t taken the path of Cultivation, would life be completely different? But this was destiny, something he couldn’t choose. Since he had to do it, he had to do it the best he could, and not let down everyone who relied on him...

Early the next morning, Lin Feng led everyone to observe inside the village. He discovered that when two people of the Alien Race conversed, as long as they made eye contact, information would immediately be transmitted. And this village only had a dozen or so villagers. Although their clothing and appearance were all similar, he could still tell there were men and women. However, the women’s bodies were also extremely tall and sturdy. Their builds were just like the elders’, and you could practically see their skeletal frames through their bodies. This made Lin Feng think of that remains he’d seen in the Dark Palace.

Thinking of the Dark Palace, he took out the ring and examined it. In the middle of the ring was a black stone, carved with a symbol whose shape couldn’t be discerned. It was definitely the emblem of some family or power. Just then he saw the elder and a few villagers standing in the snow, looking at each other as if discussing something, so he immediately led everyone over.

After arriving, Lin Feng asked, "Senior, is there anything you need help with?"

"We only have one set of remains left that can enhance the Power of Death. We need to arrange people to purchase more. We’re planning to go to the ice plains to find some Spirit Grass Humans need and exchange with them." The elder said. Their village was insignificant. Even so, cultivation for the younger generation was still necessary, so they had to have a supply of remains. Merchants would come to sell remains, but they were already very rare now, so they could only go to the nearby Yancheng to trade.

Hearing the elder’s words, Lin Feng also wanted to follow them and explore the Frost Highland. He’d been here this long and still hadn’t seen any heaven-and-earth treasures, and he wanted even more to know how these people refined the Power of Death. So he asked the village head, "Could you bring me and my friends along?"

After thinking for a moment, the elder raised his eyes to look at the clansmen, then nodded to Lin Feng and said, "The climate there is extremely cold. You absolutely must choose people with strong physiques, or they’ll freeze to death."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng said to Ma Biaohu, "You stay here and take care of Tao Tao, Miss Peng, and Xiao Jiu."

"Huh? Boss, I want to go too!" Ma Biaohu looked at Lin Feng with a face full of grievance. He wanted to go adventuring as well. But remembering that Miss Peng would be staying here, he immediately changed to a fawning smile and said, "Okay, Boss."

And so, three sturdy adults of the Alien Race set off together with Lin Feng, the two Great Demon Venerables, and Tangyuan, heading into the true Frost Highland to search for heaven-and-earth treasures.

Inside the Holy Pill Pavilion...

"Who’s Lin Feng! Lin Feng, get out here!" Chang Tianjie barged straight into the Holy Pill Pavilion and roared, scaring off many customers who had come to buy Elixirs. After arriving in Lin City, he had finally found out who killed his precious son. This time, if he didn’t tear his enemy into thousands of pieces...!

Seeing this situation, Gu Tianhai, who had been doing accounts at the counter, walked out, and Si Hong and Lingling also rushed over, not knowing who this person was.

But Gu Tianhai had already guessed that this person should be the father of Chang Chuang, whom the Young Master had killed that day. He then walked up to Chang Tianjie, and said, neither servile nor overbearing, "Senior, for what matter are you seeking my master?"

Chang Tianjie was already about to blow his top, he had no time to waste words with Gu Tianhai, and then he roared, "Get Lin Feng out here to see me, or don’t even think about keeping this shop open."

Hearing Chang Tianjie’s words, Gu Tianhai’s expression didn’t change much. Ever since that incident happened he had already anticipated this outcome. Though he currently had no countermeasure, since the Young Master wasn’t here, he had to find a way to settle this matter.

Looking at the already furious Chang Tianjie, Gu Tianhai said, "My master has gone far away and I don’t know when he’ll return. If you want to smash the shop, smash it. If you want to kill people, kill. Either way, the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult will end up with a reputation for being unreasonable thugs."

All the timid customers had already fled, and some bold ones were watching from a distance outside the Holy Pill Pavilion. If something like this happened and spread, it would be extremely bad for the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult’s reputation. But Chang Tianjie was simply too enraged; he was determined to find Lin Feng no matter where he was in the world.

He gathered all his Yuangang into his right hand and pushed out with one palm. The force of his strike was like a tornado, carving a deep ravine across the floor of the Holy Pill Pavilion, driving straight toward a stone wall in the center of the hall. The Elixirs on the wall flew off in an instant.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous crash, the stone wall collapsed, fragments of stone flying in all directions, smashing all the Elixirs on the wall to the ground. The place was instantly a complete mess.

"My god!"

"Who is this guy?"

"Just now it sounded like he was from the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult!"

...

Everyone was stunned by the scene before them. What kind of prestige did the Holy Pill Pavilion hold in Lin City—yet someone dared to come and smash it? The major Prominent Families of Lin City hadn’t provoked it in a long time. Could it be that the Holy Pill Pavilion had offended some terrifying force? The Myriad Heavens Divine Cult was the greatest power in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm; Holy Pill Pavilion must really have guts. And as they looked at the devastation in front of them, everyone began to discuss it heatedly.

"You!"

Lingling could no longer hold back after seeing this scene. She was just about to take action when Gu Tianhai stopped her. Gu Tianhai knew that if you can’t endure the small, you’ll sabotage the greater plan, and Lingling wouldn’t be a match for Chang Tianjie anyway. Though he was furious as well, for the sake of the bigger picture, he said nothing.

"Tell your master I’ll come again in ten days. If I don’t see him then, don’t blame me for what happens. I swear I’ll take his life to bury with my son!" Chang Tianjie let out a roar, flung his sleeve, and left the Holy Pill Pavilion. He knew that if he acted rashly it would also affect the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult. He had come for Lin Feng, and if he saw Lin Feng, he would definitely tear him apart alive as an offering to his son.

Watching Chang Tianjie leave, Gu Tianhai let out a sigh and ordered people to start cleaning up the Holy Pill Pavilion. In the blink of an eye, the Young Master had already been gone for some days, but there was no way he could return within ten days. How was this situation supposed to be resolved...

After walking for seven full days, Lin Feng and the others finally stopped. Along the way there had been nothing but ice plains. It had to be said, if you wanted to do anything in this Frost Highland it was really difficult; even finding a few Spirit Grasses required walking for so long.

Before them lay a valley ringed by ice mountains. Fang Yan looked out; the valley itself was also a field of silvery white. It reminded him of Ice Flower Valley he had explored in the Southern Region sea. The three young people of the Alien Race entered the valley first. Tangyuan sat on Lin Feng’s shoulder, and the two Great Demon Venerables followed behind them into the valley.

The temperature here was clearly much lower than outside. If Tao Tao and Miss Peng came in, they would surely be frozen stiff at once. But this kind of extremely low temperature had no effect on the Aliens, which showed that they had been altered into physiques adapted to extreme cold climates. Lin Feng really wanted to know how that had been done.

"Boss, there are so many treasures here." Tangyuan stared at the scene before them. The whole valley was filled with ice-attribute heavenly materials and earthly treasures, many of which it had never seen before. All the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Fruits on the ground were entirely formed of Ice Crystal, shining with a transparent silvery radiance.

Lin Feng then also set about harvesting many ice-attribute heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the valley. He could see that these heavenly materials and earthly treasures were very high grade, but he noticed that the three Alien Race youths picked only one or two kinds of Spirit Fruits. Some high-level Spirit Grasses they might not recognize and simply bypassed without touching them, which he found very strange.

Lin Feng walked over to one of the Aliens and used his spiritual power to communicate, asking, "Why are you only picking these two kinds of fruits?"

The Alien Race youth answered, "The merchants in Yancheng who trade for them only accept these, so we only pick these."

Hearing this answer, Lin Feng suddenly realized that these Spirit Grasses were too high in grade, and the Alchemists of little Yancheng had limited skill; giving them good Spiritual Medicine would just be a complete waste. But something still felt wrong—if the cultivators of Yancheng weren’t very strong, then what was up with that Divine Venerable who sold maps?

He didn’t have time to think too much about it and simply continued harvesting his Spiritual Medicine.
