"Have you heard? Ling Feng has become one of the new Heaven Slaying Ten Absolutes, and he's even the ninth seat. They're calling him the Strength Master!"

"My heavens, isn't that kid still only in the Spiritual Sea Realm?"

"So what if he is? Someone like you wouldn't even survive his second punch!"

...

For a time, news of Ling Feng becoming one of the Heaven Slaying Ten Absolutes spread throughout the entire Hall of War, even across the whole Land of War!

Even the barbarian Supreme Elder had suffered indirectly at his hands. Ling Feng's name had already become something the Hall of War disciples admired and talked about endlessly.

By now, Ling Feng had already returned with the Hall of War army from Red Stone Canyon to the mountain city.

After becoming one of the Heaven Slaying Ten Absolutes, he was naturally assigned a far more spacious and grand residence, with treatment even higher than that of ordinary elders.

However, none of that interested him.

What he truly cared about was the chance to enter the War God Temple!

On the third day after returning from Red Stone Canyon, the Hall of War leadership finally completed tallying all contributions. The top five were Ling Feng, Song Feilian, Donghuang Xuanyi, Zhuo Yilin, and Liu Zhengyang.

Among the newcomers, only Ling Feng had achieved such distinction. As for Feng Ling, Chu Tiange, and the others, simply surviving had already been no small feat. After the battle, they still received a large amount of contribution points and resources, so the trip had not been in vain.

Moreover, after such a brutal fight, each of them had gained something. Once they returned to seclusion, they would likely achieve further breakthroughs.

At this point, the barbarian and demon coalition had retreated more than three hundred li. A war that had once surged forward with great momentum had finally been resolved.

The disciples who had come to support the Hall of War also began withdrawing under the direction of their elders, returning to the Dongling Immortal Pool.

Of course, no one forgot that the disciple with the highest contribution in this campaign would receive a promise from the sect leader.

That spot, without question, belonged to Ling Feng.

Whether during the search operations in the Dead Soul Devil Abyss or his performance in the Hunting Battlefield, Ling Feng had been the most outstanding.

Yet the disciple envied by so many was in no hurry to return to the Dongling Immortal Pool. Instead, he set out with several veteran elites who had also earned the right to enter the War God Temple, heading toward the temple to comprehend the Great Saint spiritual will.

Under the guidance of a disciple, Ling Feng arrived at a waterfall on the northern side of the West District of the Mountain City.

By the time he got there, Song Feilian and the others had already arrived and were waiting.

No one said anything about it. After all, Ling Feng was unfamiliar with the entrance to the War God Temple.

"Ling Feng, you finally made it!"

An elderly man with white hair stood with his hands behind his back atop a large rock beside the waterfall. He was Elder Yi Feng, the one in charge of the War God Temple, and a highly respected figure within the Hall of War.

"I got a bit lost on the way."

Ling Feng gave a helpless smile. His terrible sense of direction had been a long-standing problem.

After all, using Boundless Vision just to find his way inside the sect would be excessive, and the Eye of the Emperor was not meant for that!

Besides, if he accidentally "saw" a senior or junior sister bathing, that would be even worse.

"Hahaha!"

Song Feilian could not help but laugh. "Brother Ling, I didn't expect you to be directionally challenged."

Ling Feng shrugged, looking resigned.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, I will open the War God Temple!"

Elder Yi Feng glanced at the group and nodded. "Within the War God Temple are many remnants of spiritual will left behind by powerful figures of the Hall of War. These may be pure will, divine skills, or insights into the Great Dao. What you can comprehend inside depends entirely on your own opportunity."

"Yes, Elder!"

Everyone nodded, each filled with anticipation.

Without this Hunting Battlefield, even members of the Heaven Slaying Ten Absolutes would rarely have the chance to enter. After all, once a spiritual will was comprehended, it would dissipate. Without restrictions, the temple would have long been emptied.

Of course, comprehending spiritual will was no easy task. Especially the few Great Saint spiritual wills, which had remained unclaimed for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Moreover, each person could only comprehend one spiritual will before being automatically sent out. Choosing wisely was essential. Picking an ordinary one would be a waste.

The next moment, Elder Yi Feng took out a jade slab and set it into a groove on the left side of the waterfall. Then he spoke calmly.

"Behind the waterfall lies another world. Go!"

"Thank you, Elder!"

The group leapt forward one after another, passing through the curtain of water. Ahead, golden light flickered as spatial energy surged. In an instant, the scene before them changed completely.

What lay before them was not a cave, but a vast plain. Across it stood stone monuments of all shapes and sizes. Each one was carved with strange patterns, obscure symbols, and incomprehensible markings.

This was the War God Temple, the place where Great Saint spiritual will was hidden!

Feeling the profound and mysterious spiritual wills all around, Ling Feng's eyelids twitched. He almost lost control and tried to comprehend one immediately.

"Brother Ling!"

Song Feilian quickly placed a hand on Ling Feng's shoulder. "Remember, each person can only comprehend one spiritual will. Do not waste this chance. With your talent, even if you cannot comprehend a Great Saint spiritual will, you should at least choose a Half-Saint one."

Ling Feng nodded and quickly said, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother Song!"

"No need to thank me."

Song Feilian smiled faintly. During the Hunting Battlefield, if Ling Feng had not lent him the Bloodthirsty Soul-Chasing Arrows, facing the demon race head-on would not have gone so smoothly.

He might not say it out loud, but he was truly grateful.

"Go and search for a suitable spiritual will yourself. Remember, do not casually use your spiritual consciousness to probe the stone monuments. Once the process begins, it cannot be stopped. You may try the Great Saint spiritual wills, though failure will not have consequences. Still, do not fixate on them. You only have three days here. Some people stubbornly pursued Great Saint spiritual wills and gained nothing in the end, wasting their chance. It is better to secure something than walk away empty-handed. You understand?"

"Mm, I understand."

Ling Feng nodded. Opportunities could not be forced. His goal was not necessarily a Great Saint spiritual will.

What he needed was a chance to break through to the Human Emperor realm, an insight into the Great Dao.

As for divine skills or secret arts, he had little interest in them now.
