Demon Dragon Mad God-Chapter 867 - 636_2

"Disciple understands!" Lin Feng nodded.

The Thirteenth Elder scrutinized Lin Feng for a moment, his face showing a hint of doubt, and said, "Feng Su, why do I feel a sense of familiarity with you, as if we have met before!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng felt a twinge in his heart, secretly thinking this was not good.

He had changed entirely compared to four years ago, yet the other could still glimpse it, truly worthy of being a Martial Emperor Realm strong practitioner.

"Master, the disciple has seen you from afar in the Outer Palace before, perhaps you have some impression of the disciple!" Lin Feng said calmly, with a smile.

The Thirteenth Elder nodded upon hearing this, he merely felt a slight sense of familiarity, asking casually.

After all, with a million disciples in the Outer Palace, it was nothing unusual if the two of them had seen each other from afar!

"Ah, Feng Su! I’ve been quite free lately, if you have any doubts about martial arts, you can tell them one by one." The Thirteenth Elder smiled.

"Yes!"

Lin Feng nodded, but his heart was filled with emotion.

This Thirteenth Elder was quite gentle with his disciple and seemed sincere in accepting him as a student, truly a good master.

However, fate plays tricks, Lin Feng was unsure how long their mentor-student relationship could last.

Clearing his mind of distractions, Lin Feng turned his hand, and a jade scroll of the Nine Heavens Sword Manual appeared in his palm.

"Master, I wish to seek your guidance on this swordsmanship!" Lin Feng said.

"Hmm!"

The Thirteenth Elder nodded, then took the jade scroll from Lin Feng to inspect the martial arts within.

"Nine Heavens Sword Manual!" Upon seeing the contents of the jade scroll, the Thirteenth Elder slightly shook his head and said, "Feng Su, martial techniques above the Emperor Level are called Mystical Martial Arts. To cultivate Emperor Level martial techniques, one must comprehend the power of mystical techniques!"

"Power of mystical techniques?"

Lin Feng asked in confusion, "What is the power of mystical techniques?"

The Thirteenth Elder pondered for a moment and said, "Mystical techniques are still distant for you at present, so I’ll explain it briefly to you!"

"Mystical techniques are the Dao, the Dao of heaven and earth. It is said that there are three thousand great Daos in the world, and mystical techniques are the embryonic forms of the rules of the great Dao." The Thirteenth Elder said. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"I see!" Lin Feng nodded, not expecting that Emperor Level martial techniques would be related to the heavenly Dao.

"Master, what kind of mystical technique is needed to cultivate this Nine Heavens Sword Technique?" Lin Feng asked.

"This Nine Heavens Sword Technique, if I’m not mistaken, should be martial arts of the Cloud’s Mystical Technique!"

The Thirteenth Elder said, "If you have already comprehended the Cloud’s Mystical Technique, then cultivating this technique becomes twice as effective with half the effort. But if you haven’t comprehended it at all, cultivating it will be quite difficult, requiring careful understanding of the cloud essence within this technique!"

Hearing this, Lin Feng’s face showed a bitter expression, it seemed that mastering this martial technique was no simple task!

"Feng Su, your cultivation is still low, making it hard to comprehend mystical techniques. This technique is not suitable for cultivation; you should focus on Level Six martial techniques instead!" The Thirteenth Elder advised.

"Understood!" Lin Feng nodded, realizing that such complex mystical martial arts were too time-consuming to cultivate, and he couldn’t afford to waste any time now.

Afterward, Lin Feng asked the Thirteenth Elder a few small questions, and the elder answered each one in detail, showing quite a lot of patience.

This made Lin Feng sigh inwardly, thinking that the Thirteenth Elder was far more responsible than Huangfu Qing, truly an ideal master.

"Ah, Feng Su, to be honest, your talent is very high, surpassing your master in the future wouldn’t be difficult!"

The Thirteenth Elder said earnestly, "But you must not be impatient. The road of martial arts requires taking one step at a time to go further!"

"Master, rest assured, this disciple won’t be inferior to anyone!" Lin Feng nodded.

"Hmm!"

The Thirteenth Elder nodded slightly, smiling, "Our Emperor Xuan Palace now has two great geniuses, and I hope you can become the third one!"

"Oh? Who are the two great geniuses?" Lin Feng asked curiously, though he knew well in his heart that Shangguan Hao must be one of them.

Lin Feng asked partly to learn more about the situation.

"The two great talents are, of course, the Saint Heir and the Holy Daughter! Although the Holy Daughter’s cultivation level is still slightly lower, she is expected to catch up with the Saint Heir in a few years!" The Thirteenth Elder said with a smile.

Lin Feng was taken aback by these words and suddenly realized they were talking about Shangguan Hao and Xi’er; how impressive Xi’er’s talent must be!

Thinking of Xi’er, Lin Feng’s heart stirred. He tentatively asked, "Master, I’ve heard that the Holy Daughter has already reached the Martial King Realm. My own strength is comparable to a Martial King as well. I wonder where the Holy Daughter resides. When I have time, I’d like to seek her guidance."

Lin Feng’s gaze was fixed intently on the Thirteenth Elder, hoping to glean Xi’er’s whereabouts from him.

The Thirteenth Elder chuckled lightly and, without much thought, replied, "The Holy Daughter resides atop the central Emperor Peak. You may visit her for a bout, though I reckon you may not yet be her match!"

"Central Imperial Peak!"

Lin Feng was overjoyed; he had finally pinpointed Xi’er’s location and would soon be able to see her!

"Master, rest assured, although she’s formidable, I am not lacking either. Without a fight, who can say for sure who will win or lose!" Lin Feng said resolutely.

"Good! A genius must possess invincible confidence!" The Thirteenth Elder responded with a smile.

At this moment, Lin Feng was eager to find Xi’er, and after a brief contemplation, he asked, "Master, where will I reside next?"

"There are many palaces on the mountainside of this peak, all part of the Inner Palace for its disciples. Many are vacant, so you can choose one freely." The Thirteenth Elder replied.

"Understood, Master. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now!" Lin Feng said, signaling his departure.

"Go on!" The Thirteenth Elder waved him off.

Lin Feng rose to leave but suddenly remembered something.

"Master, I should be able to leave the Inner Palace freely, right? Where is the exit of this space plane?"

Lin Feng asked cautiously, needing to understand how to access the exits of this plane space.

If not, should his identity be exposed, he’d have nowhere to flee, trapped like a fish in a barrel.

"Of course, you can leave. I’ll teach you the method to open it!" The Thirteenth Elder said with a smile.

After that, the Thirteenth Elder taught Lin Feng an exceedingly complex seal technique, which could open the entrance and exit using it.

Once Lin Feng fully grasped it, he took his leave, striding out of the great hall.

Watching Lin Feng’s departing figure, the smile on the Thirteenth Elder’s face slowly faded, revealing a contemplative look.

"In just over four years, he has come from a barren land in the East Continent to the Central Continent, evolving from a mere Qi Refinement Realm Martial Artist to one whose strength rivals that of the Martial King Realm. Even without mentioning his talent, such perseverance is extraordinary!"

The Thirteenth Elder sighed, speaking softly to himself, "Very well then, I’ll give you a chance, and everything will depend on your capabilities!"

Indeed!

The Thirteenth Elder had long discovered Lin Feng’s true identity. As a Sixth Layer Peak Martial Emperor, with his vision and insight, how could Lin Feng possibly hide anything from him?

The Thirteenth Elder had lived for over three hundred years, and for someone of his caliber, even a person glimpsed fleetingly three hundred years ago would be instantly recognizable today.

Even though Lin Feng’s aura and appearance had changed, those eyes—carrying Lin Feng’s inherent gaze—were hard to alter.

The eyes are the windows to the soul, and through Lin Feng’s eyes, the Thirteenth Elder recognized him at once.

Yet the Thirteenth Elder didn’t expose him; he too was momentarily astonished by Lin Feng’s accomplishments.

He had never expected that an ordinary youth from a small town in the East Continent could grow so immensely in just over four years!

This seemed almost impossible to the Thirteenth Elder, and yet Lin Feng managed to achieve it!

This filled the Thirteenth Elder’s heart with profound astonishment!

At that moment, the Thirteenth Elder couldn’t help but recall the young man’s impassioned words from four years ago.

"I want to tell you, senior, that even a carp can leap over the dragon gate and transform into a dragon, soaring to great heights. Can you be certain that I, Lin Feng, will lead an ordinary life?"

Those words echoed in the Thirteenth Elder’s mind, and he sighed inwardly, truly, the fish had leaped over the dragon gate!

It was simply unimaginable!

However, while Lin Feng had indeed crossed the dragon gate, he was still far from truly transforming into a dragon with golden scales!
