152: Someone from the Sea Demon Sect

The North Sea Region is vast and dotted with numerous islands. With Lin Feng's current Middle Stage Golden Core strength, he served as a Grand Elder in the Qingyun Sect, establishing his own domain within the North Sea Region.

As the territory of the Sea Race, the Qingyun Island, where Lin Feng resided, was a very ordinary island. With a Golden Core cultivator overseeing it, other forces generally dared not intrude. However, the sea region was fraught with dangers, not only powerful Yao Beasts but also various mysterious Sea Race forces.

Lin Feng was well aware of this and thus did not relax his vigilance. Therefore, Lin Feng decided to Cultivate in seclusion within the Sect. The Five Elements Yin Yang Star Art, his primary Cultivation Technique, had already reached the eighth level, and Lin Feng intended to focus on his seclusion.

Additionally, Lin Feng could utilize the Qingyun Sect to help him gather the Materials for Golden Essence Pills, which would accelerate his Cultivation progress.

Upon returning to the Qingyun Sect, Lin Feng immediately instructed Lan Yudao and Li Xuan to assist the other Disciples within the Sect in collecting the Materials for Golden Essence Pills. He himself entered seclusion, dedicating all his energy to improving his Cultivation and refining his Cultivation Technique.

During his seclusion, Lin Feng continuously circulated the Five Elements Yin Yang Star Art, drawing in a steady stream of Spiritual Qi from his surroundings into his body, transforming it into his own Cultivation. At the same time, he also utilized his Lifebound Treasure, the Five Elements Revolving Disk, to continuously Cultivate and refine it, making it more attuned to his will.

Simultaneously, while Cultivating, Lin Feng began to study the golden Jade Slip he had obtained from Qingyun. This Jade Slip contained seven ancient forbidden Formations and five sets of killing Formations. Among them, the Heavenly Dipper Big Dipper Formation could trap a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and the Nine Nether Yellow Springs Formation could draw in the Yin Qi of the earth 脈.

The Heavenly Dipper Big Dipper Formation could actually trap a Nascent Soul Cultivator. Lin Feng used his spare time during Cultivation to study Formations. With his Keen Observation and Exceptional Talent entries, Lin Feng did not find studying Formations too strenuous.

He immersed himself in the world of Formations, constantly deducing and experimenting. Gradually, he gained a deep understanding of these ancient forbidden Formations.

Time flew by like a white steed, and in a blink of an eye, Lin Feng had been in seclusion at the Qingyun Sect for several years. During these years, his Cultivation had made significant progress. The Five Elements Yin Yang Star Art had nearly reached the ninth level, and his Lifebound Treasure, the Five Elements Revolving Disk, had become even more attuned to his will, its power growing stronger.

At the same time, under Lin Feng's guidance, Lan Yudao and Li Xuan also saw considerable improvements in their Cultivation. The two of them assisted the other Disciples within the Sect, collecting a significant amount of Materials for Golden Essence Pills, providing strong support for Lin Feng's Cultivation.

Finally, Lin Feng ended his seclusion and emerged from his Cultivation state. He felt the surging spiritual power within his body and nodded with satisfaction. He now possessed even greater strength, enough to face more challenges.

Lin Feng walked out of his seclusion area and arrived in the main hall of the Qingyun Sect. He looked at the Qingyun Sect Disciples in the hall, a surge of heroic spirit rising in his heart. With his current strength, he would no longer have to run around like before, his fate dictated by others.

Next, Lin Feng began to prepare to refine Golden Essence Pills. He used the collected Materials to start the refining process. He concentrated fully on controlling the flames, melting the Materials one by one into the Pill Furnace. After several days of effort, he finally successfully refined the Golden Essence Pills.

Lin Feng looked at the Golden Essence Pills in his hand, a satisfied smile on his face. He knew that with these Golden Essence Pills, his Cultivation would surely advance further.

Just as Lin Feng had emerged from seclusion, Qingyun Sect Sect Head Yun Yi rushed to find him.

Yun Yi's expression was solemn as he said to Lin Feng, "Senior Lin, something serious has happened. The North Sea Region has been restless recently, with many Sects and forces being attacked by a mysterious force. I'm worried that this mysterious force will eventually come for our Qingyun Sect."

Lin Feng frowned upon hearing this. He hadn't expected such a powerful mysterious force to be nearby.

However, he was a Golden Core cultivator after all, and naturally, he wouldn't be afraid. He nodded and said to Yun Yi, "Sect Master Yun Yi, there's no need to worry. Since I've joined the Qingyun Sect, I will naturally contribute to the Sect. If this mysterious force truly dares to come, I will ensure they never return."

Yun Yi felt a little relieved upon hearing this. He knew that with Senior Lin, a Golden Core cultivator, overseeing the Sect, the Qingyun Sect's strength would surely increase greatly. He cupped his hands and said, "Then I will trouble Senior Lin. I will instruct everyone in the Sect to heighten their vigilance and prepare for the confrontation."

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Very good. I will also constantly monitor the movements of this mysterious force. Should there be any disturbance, I will immediately take action."

In the following days, Lin Feng began to Cultivate even harder, while also constantly keeping an eye on the situation in the North Sea Region. Lan Yudao's Cultivation had also reached Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment. Although he was only at Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, even an ordinary Late-Stage Foundation Establishment might not be his match.

Therefore, Lin Feng ordered Lan Yudao to secretly investigate the origins and movements of this mysterious force. Upon receiving the order, Lan Yudao immediately took action. He utilized his identity and network to inquire and gather information about this mysterious force.

Meanwhile, the Qingyun Sect, under the leadership of Lin Feng and Yun Yi, gradually grew stronger. Lin Feng himself, as a Golden Core cultivator, could also refine Foundation Establishment Pills and various other Medicinal Pills. With Lin Feng's presence, the occasional Medicinal Pills he released were an unprecedented fortune for the Qingyun Sect.

After Lin Feng arranged for Lan Yudao's investigation, he also instructed Yun Yi to strengthen the Sect's defenses, specifically the Sect's defensive Formations, while he chose to continue his seclusion.

However, just as Lin Feng was in seclusion Cultivating, a powerful pressure suddenly enveloped the entire Qingyun Sect. Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, emerging from his Cultivation state. He felt this pressure, and his expression became solemn.

This mysterious force had finally come knocking. He stood up, walked out of his seclusion area, and entered the main hall of the Qingyun Sect. In the hall, an old man in a black robe was suspended in mid-air, looking coldly at the Qingyun Sect Disciples below.

Seeing this, Lin Feng secretly became vigilant. He took a step forward and cupped his hands to the black-robed old man, saying, "Fellow Daoist, who are you? Why have you suddenly graced my Qingyun Sect with your presence?"

The black-robed old man sneered upon hearing this and said, "I am Elder Heipao of the Sea Demon Sect. Today, I have specifically come to replace your Qingyun Sect."

Lin Feng's heart sank upon hearing this. He hadn't expected this mysterious force to be the Sea Demon Sect. However, he quickly composed himself. He cupped his hands and said, "Senior Heipao, my Qingyun Sect lives in peace with the world. Why must Senior be so aggressive?"

The black-robed old man snorted coldly and said, "In this world, the strong are revered. Your Qingyun Sect is weak, so it naturally must be replaced by the strong. If you know what's good for you, surrender obediently, lest I have to act."

Lin Feng's expression turned cold upon hearing this. He cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Heipao, though my Qingyun Sect is weak, it will not easily yield. If you wish to replace my Qingyun Sect, then bring it on."
