67: Chapter 66 Dreamy Star Pavilion
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion could not help but step closer to Lin Feng, the slit on her forehead becoming increasingly distinct, as if something were about to burst forth from her body.
"Hmph!"
Suddenly, a heavy grunt echoed above this World, and the azure sky instantly dimmed, plunged into an eternal night without light.
Upon hearing this grunt, Sect Master Du Busi's expression changed drastically. "Not good, it's Di Tian! He actually chased us all the way to the Far North!"
Feeling the aura drawing closer, Sect Master Du Busi did not care whether Lin Feng was conscious or not; he immediately lifted him with his Soul Power and fled rapidly into the distance.
A flash of extreme gray light suddenly shone in the space beside Sect Master Du Busi, and a spatial rift tore open. A ferocious and terrifying Black Dragon claw immediately swiped toward Lin Feng.
"Stop!"
Sect Master Du Busi vaguely heard a crisp sound—it was a girl's voice. Immediately following that, the Black Dragon claw changed its direction and swiped at Sect Master Du Busi's back.
"Rrrrip."
Sect Master Du Busi's body lunged forward violently, and a bloody black claw mark appeared on his back. Ignoring his injuries, he fled into the distance with all his might.
"Despicable human, do not let me see you again!"
Di Tian let out a cold snort, his voice resonating through the entire snowfield like metal piercing stone. In an instant, snow was kicked up several dozen zhang high from the ground.
After delivering his threat, Di Tian's figure suddenly appeared in the air. He watched the fleeing Sect Master Du Busi and Lin Feng, his expression uncertain.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had also returned to her original form. Watching Lin Feng's receding back, she suddenly felt as though something was missing, and she felt inexplicably restless...
Di Tian frowned and landed beside her, his voice filled with confusion. "Why did you not let me kill that human? He humiliated you before!"
"They once invaded our Star Dou Great Forest and wantonly slaughtered our kin. Your Divine Sense can discern any trajectory of fate in the World; surely you are aware that if he is allowed to grow, all of us Spirit Beasts will face a catastrophe!"
Di Tian was rarely angry at the Auspicious Beast, and he reprimanded her for being indecisive.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion met Di Tian's gaze, her complex eyes mixed with a hint of bewilderment. She shook her head. "Di Tian, you cannot kill him. He has something on him that I need!"
"What thing?" Di Tian asked, frowning in confusion.
"The power of Luck!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion took a deep breath. At this moment, she could finally confirm what exactly was attracting her to that youth. Only bearers of Luck would be mutually attracted to one another.
In other words, it was more like wanting to devour the other party. The power of Luck was never enough, regardless of whether it was for a Spirit Beast or a human. If she could devour the dense power of Luck on that human, she would become even stronger!
Di Tian's expression was grave, and he said in a serious tone, "Little one, are you sure you saw it clearly? Is it really the power of Luck?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded. "Although he hides it well and the power of Luck usually does not manifest at all, just now, I captured that dense power of Luck he carried. It absolutely cannot be fake!"
This was a lie. In fact, during the forty-nine days she had spent with Lin Feng, she had long since confirmed that he possessed a dense power of Luck.
Just by staying by his side, her cultivation would slowly increase. She had once attempted to devour the Luck on Lin Feng, but it was all repelled by a mysterious mist.
It was not until the very last moment, when she saw the vertical pupil on Lin Feng's forehead, that all her doubts were instantly resolved. It turned out that, just like her, he was also the fated one!
...
In the darkness, Lin Feng only felt his consciousness flying higher and higher, as if he were about to pierce the firmament and ascend to the Nine Heavens to grasp the bright moon.
He kept his eyes tightly shut. Although his consciousness was clear, he could not open his eyelids no matter what, as if they were being pressed down by a pair of invisible hands.
"What exactly is going on?" Lin Feng was greatly alarmed in his heart.
After a long while, when Lin Feng no longer felt the sensation of drifting upward, he slowly opened his eyes. The scene before him left him completely bewildered.
This was an illusory World; soft, colorful halos floated beside him, both unreal and real.
He examined his body and discovered that nothing remained of his entire being except for a thread of Divine Sense. Lin Feng's pupils contracted violently.
Could it be that he had fallen during the Breakthrough process and his Soul had ascended to heaven?
This discovery instantly made him want to cry without tears. If he had known that the Invincible Golden Body would cultivate someone to death, he would never have touched this thing even if it killed him...
"Revered Master, you have truly ruined me!" Lin Feng sighed softly.
Just as he intended to resign himself to fate and begin a new Reincarnation, a dreamlike voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"You... have finally arrived!"
Lin Feng's body trembled violently. He looked around nervously, his expression tense, and shouted loudly, "Who is speaking?!"
The colorful clouds were gently pushed aside, and sparse stars dotted the space.
Lin Feng stared intently ahead, secretly beginning to mobilize his offensive means. The appearance of this voice instantly made him vigilant—perhaps he was not dead yet, but had merely been dragged into a fantastical space.
This space could be a dream, or it could be Soul separation, but regardless of what it was, he had to ensure his survival first.
The space around Lin Feng was shifted layer by layer. He watched everything happening around him in surprise, but his expression grew increasingly composed.
Regardless of what the person orchestrating this wanted, since they had not come to take his life right away, he should have the qualifications to negotiate.
As the speed of the spatial movement gradually slowed, the scenery around him changed again and again. A dazzling light suddenly appeared ahead; Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and rushed through it the next moment.
The radiance dissipated. He examined his surroundings and discovered that, apart from being in a mysterious and illusory space at the very beginning, every subsequent movement had revealed a different landscape.
And at this moment, Lin Feng found himself in a starry sky beyond the realm. Before him appeared a small Star Pavilion, as if forged from the stars of the night sky.
Inside the small Star Pavilion sat a beautiful figure. When she appeared there, the entire World seemed to have found its center.
Lin Feng's expression was astonished. He stared fixedly at the beautiful figure in the small pavilion, a faint guess forming in his heart.
He took a deep breath, his legs feeling somewhat stiff as he took a step forward. Heavy breathing resounded in his chest, as if every step were landing on the bottom of one's heart.
As he drew closer, the posture of that beautiful figure appeared before his eyes.
It was a beautiful figure that could not be described in words; it seemed that putting all the adjectives in the World upon her would be a form of profanity toward her.
Her flowing long hair transitioned from silver-white to light purple-blue; it was unbound, cascading like a waterfall down to her waist.
Her features were exquisite and delicate, her face fair and translucent, her eyelashes thick and long. Her eyes were silver-white, like the moon in a well, revealing an implicit spirituality and mystery amidst their calmness.
The young girl sat straight in the pavilion. Her eyes, like the moon in water, looked quietly at Lin Feng, a trace of joy and tenderness in her gaze.
"You have finally arrived!"
