Chapter 485: Successfully Borrowing the Nine Universe Cauldron
“First-Order Demon Beast—Kun Chicken?”
Jiang Taichu looked at the Kun Chicken in Lin Feng’s hand, his expression somewhat surprised, and smiled, “I haven’t eaten this for many years; you have a good heart!”
“Oh? Has the Jiang family head eaten it before?” Lin Feng was a bit surprised. There were no Kun Chickens left on Earth now; he had only encountered it in the West Sea Secret Realm…
“I went to the Spirit Realm when I was young. Kun Chicken is both delicious and affordable; it’s the favorite demon beast of cultivators in the Spirit Realm. It’s best roasted, and the soup is also extremely tasty. Thinking about it really brings back memories…” Jiang Taichu replied.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng was even more astonished. Jiang Yanxi beside him also looked surprised, as she had never known that her father had been to the Spirit Realm…
“Father, when did you go to the Spirit Realm?”
“Let’s not talk about the past… it’s all in the past now!” Jiang Taichu did not intend to dwell on old matters.
He picked up the characters he had just written on the desk and said to Lin Feng, “Lin Feng, this is our first meeting! We don’t know each other well!”
“I want to ask you, what do you think of this character ‘逆’ (ni)?” Lin Feng looked at the note, where the character “逆天而行” (to go against the heavens) was boldly written!
“Is the Jiang family head asking about the character itself or its meaning?”
“What about the character? And what about the meaning?” Jiang Taichu’s gaze was fixed on Lin Feng.
Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, “The character is good, but the strokes are clearly over-inked, indicating that the Jiang family head was struggling and hesitant when writing this character…”
“As for the meaning? As cultivators, stepping onto the path of immortality is to go against the heavens, right? This is a belief that every cultivator should have!”
“Your answer is quite watertight, but unfortunately, it’s a bit too simplistic!” Jiang Taichu shook his head.
“I would like to hear more!” Lin Feng replied.
“The way of heaven is hard to go against; going against the heavens is ultimately just a fantasy in the hearts of cultivators… Rather than going against the heavens, it’s better to follow them! Perhaps there is still a way out.”
“Hehe, you may follow the heavens, but that doesn’t mean the heavens will follow you! Fate should be controlled in one’s own hands! If you give in, then from the very beginning, haven’t you already lost?” Lin Feng laughed out loud.
Jiang Taichu was taken aback by his words, looking deeply at Lin Feng, and continued, “But what if you can’t go against the heavens?”
“If I can’t go against it, then I will cut it down!”
“What if you can’t cut it down?”
“There is nothing that Lin Feng cannot cut down!”
“You’re that confident?”
“Yes! I am that confident…” Lin Feng replied calmly.
As soon as he said this, the wooden house fell silent. Jiang Yanxi rested her chin on her hands, glancing at her junior brother and then at her father, feeling that the conversation between the two was quite strange, yet it seemed to carry deep meaning!
“No wonder you took down Wang Zhen and killed Huang Tianhai without hesitation during the day! Because you never think about the consequences…”
Jiang Taichu suddenly said.
“To hesitate is to invite chaos!” Lin Feng uttered eight words.
“Good, ‘to invite chaos’! But do you know that because of you, my Jiang family is now being roasted over a fire! Do you know how strong the Wang family is?” Jiang Taichu’s tone suddenly turned cold!
“So what? The people I killed were killed by me; you can easily push all the blame onto me!” Lin Feng’s expression remained calm.
He did not lower his head because of the other party’s identity. However, upon hearing this, the coldness on Jiang Taichu’s face diminished significantly, and he said with a complex expression, “In just a few exchanges, I can already see your character!”
“Lin Feng, sometimes being too strong isn’t a good thing… I was once as aggressive as you, and as a result, my spiritual root was destroyed, losing the most precious thing in my life!”
“Your spiritual root was destroyed?” Lin Feng’s pupils constricted.
He looked Jiang Taichu up and down again and actually discovered traces of past cultivation within him… Only that his spiritual root had been severed, replaced by a martial arts foundation, which was now thriving!
“You…”
“Enough! You can go back now. I will discuss the Nine Universe Cauldron with a few clan elders and give you a reply by tomorrow at the latest!” Jiang Taichu waved his hand wearily, signaling Lin Feng to leave.
Lin Feng silently glanced at Jiang Taichu, wondering what had happened to this man. However, he did not ask further and nodded, turning to leave…
Jiang Yanxi wanted to see Lin Feng off but was stopped by Jiang Taichu’s voice.
“Yanxi, I’ve heard about the events at the training ground! Is there something special between you and him?”
“What do you mean?”
“Have you been together with him?”
“Ah?” Jiang Yanxi was taken aback at first, then seemed to think of something, her pretty face instantly turning red, and she said speechlessly, “Dad, what are you guessing? My relationship with my junior brother is very pure, okay?”
“That’s best!” Jiang Taichu felt relieved and added, “Don’t get too close to him; he may be a good person! But he is destined not to be a suitable partner; otherwise, one day, you will be dragged down by him!”
“Dad, what’s wrong with you tonight? So strange…” Jiang Yanxi frowned slightly.
“Nothing! I’m just a bit tired and want to rest early; you should go back too.” Jiang Taichu shook his head.
Seeing this, Jiang Yanxi had no choice but to leave through the door.
After Jiang Yanxi left, Jiang Taichu approached the dressing table, picked up a portrait, and gradually lost himself in thought…
Back then, he was so full of vigor, possessing a five-element spiritual root, able to cultivate five-element techniques, invincible among peers, and capable of fighting above his level…
But looking back now, he was nothing but a joke…
……
Early the next morning.
A shocking piece of news swept through the Kunlun region!
A mysterious figure took the lead, inviting the great families of the West to gather at Kunlun Pavilion for a gala tonight at seven!
As soon as this news broke, all the forces, big and small, in the Kunlun region were shaken!
Who could it be?
Who had such great ambition to gather the great families of the West in one go?
The most critical question was, what was the purpose of this banquet? It couldn’t possibly be just for a meal!
While the outside world was in shock, Lin Feng received the news that several prominent figures of the Jiang family had discussed and decided to lend him the Nine Universe Cauldron for a day…
At this moment, Lin Feng was standing in the Jiang family’s alchemy room, looking at a large cauldron in front of him, his expression filled with astonishment!
This cauldron was over two meters tall and entirely fire-red!
The surface of the cauldron had nine layers of brown outer rings, with various profound runes carved between each two rings, forming a terrifying imprint of the Nine Heavens!
The spiritual aura emanating from its exterior proved that this cauldron was a top-grade spiritual treasure!
“No wonder the Jiang family is so cautious about lending the Nine Universe Cauldron! No wonder my senior brother urged me to use this cauldron for alchemy…”
Lin Feng’s expression grew serious. Such a treasure was already at the pinnacle of the world, second only to the legendary immortal artifacts!
Even he had only seen two top-grade spiritual treasures so far: the first was the soul-calling banner that Senior Brother Xiaoming used to save Sixth Senior Brother, and the second was the Nine Universe Cauldron before him!
“Using this cauldron to refine the Soul Pill, I will surely break through to the Out-of-Body Realm this time! By then, I should be able to easily sweep through the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm, and even have the strength to fight against those in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm!”
Lin Feng’s eyes sparkled with excitement, and he coldly laughed in his heart: “Using heaven and earth as a chessboard, with all beings as chess pieces? I, Lin Feng, will ultimately destroy this game and play it myself!”
