221: Finally become a god

Yao'er saw him wake up, and the worry in her eyes finally turned into joy. She shook her head vigorously.

“It’s good that Young Master is fine.”

Just then, a cold, mechanical voice sounded in Lin Feng’s mind.

【Congratulations to the Host for Breaking Through to the Soul Transformation Stage】

【Reward: Flawless Immortal Body】

【No more Bottlenecks before becoming a True Immortal, and the Flawless Immortal Body is unaffected by pressure】

Lin Feng’s mind stirred, and a warm current instantly washed over his entire body, as if he had been reborn. Every inch of his flesh and blood, every meridian, became pure and translucent, completely free of Impurities.

But he didn't savor this change; his gaze returned to Yao'er.

“Yao’er, how long has it been since I went into seclusion?”

Yao'er held up three fingers, then made another gesture.

“Not more, not less, exactly thirty-four years.”

Thirty-four years.

Lin Feng silently repeated this number in his mind. He only hoped that the opening time of the Void Heaven Palace had not been moved up; otherwise, finding Yin Yue again would likely require much more effort.

His gaze inadvertently fell on Yao'er’s shoulder.

A fluffy little monkey was squatting there, gnawing on a Spiritual Fruit with relish, its pair of dark, curious eyes appraising Lin Feng.

It was Ti Hun.

“This little fellow…”

Lin Feng remembered. This was obtained from the Qingyang Sect Young Master’s Storage Pouch back then, and later given to Yao'er along with the Storage Pouch.

Decades had passed; had he not seen it today, he would have almost forgotten the existence of this exotic beast.

Seeing Lin Feng staring at Ti Hun, Yao'er seemed to recall something and pouted, feigning distress.

“Young Master, you must judge for me.”

“This little monkey has done nothing but eat and sleep these past few years. It’s almost eaten all my Spiritual Fruits. Yao'er can barely afford to keep it anymore.”

Lin Feng looked at her charming appearance, his heart stirred, and he spoke.

“Since that’s the case, why don’t I help Yao’er raise it?”

Yao'er blinked her lively large eyes, seeing that Lin Feng’s expression was serious and not joking.

She immediately took Ti Hun down from her shoulder and, without a word, stuffed it into Lin Feng’s arms, her movements so quick as if afraid he would change his mind.

“Then I’ll give it to Young Master!”

Ti Hun, in an unfamiliar embrace, struggled a bit uneasily but was quickly soothed by the gentle yet vast aura emanating from Lin Feng, and soon quieted down.

Lin Feng smiled and didn’t take her item for free.

He flipped his hand, took out a Soul Banner wreathed in black Qi, and handed it to Ti Hun.

As soon as the little monkey smelled the rich Yin Soul Qi on the Soul Banner, its eyes immediately lit up. It snatched it away, hugged it tightly to its chest with great fondness, and let out joyful “squeaking” sounds.

“Yao’er, I won’t take your monkey for free. This item is my thank you gift.”

Lin Feng said, as three wisps of Chaos-colored Qi appeared out of thin air on his fingertips and slowly pushed them towards Yao'er.

“Refine them, and then you can roam freely in the Chaotic Star Sea.”

Yao'er looked at the three wisps of Hong Meng Purple Qi that made her Divine Soul tremble, her beautiful eyes instantly widening.

She didn't yet know that these things could make her Cultivation skyrocket, but she could feel the terrifying energy contained within them.

But what shocked her even more was Lin Feng’s permission for her to roam the Chaotic Star Sea.

Over the years, although she and the other three women, Yan Li, Xin Ruyin, and Han Yunzhi, had cultivated without worry and with endless resources by Lin Feng’s side, they were ultimately like birds in a cage, lacking some freedom.

Now, could they finally go out?

“Thank you, Young Master!”

Yao'er’s face bloomed with a brilliant smile as she carefully absorbed the three wisps of Purple Qi into her body.

Lin Feng looked at her excited expression and nodded slightly.

He already had a plan in mind: there wasn't much Hong Meng Purple Qi left, so it needed to be distributed discriminately.

Yao'er’s Heart-Nature was lively, and Yan Li shared a deep sisterly bond with her. Giving Yan Li two more wisps later, allowing the sisters to venture out together, would be suitable.

As for Xin Ruyin, her temperament was calm; she probably preferred a stable life in Tiannan and was not in a hurry.

And Han Yunzhi’s Heart-Nature still needed tempering; giving her too strong a Cultivation too early would not be a good thing.

After making the arrangements, Lin Feng did not linger.

He took a step, and his figure instantly vanished from the Inner Universe. The next moment, he had already appeared on the white jade plaza of the Floating Immortal Island.

The long-awaited sunlight shone on him, carrying the unique salty sea breeze of the Chaotic Star Sea.

Lin Feng took a deep breath. His Soul Transformation Stage Divine Sense, like an invisible tide, spread out from the Immortal Island in all directions with a roar!

In an instant, the entire landscape of the Chaotic Star Sea’s Inner Sea was presented in his mind.

His Divine Sense passed over the Yao Beasts and storms of the Outer Sea, swept over islands, and penetrated the protective mountain arrays of various Sects.

The hawking sounds of the Tianxing City market, the hushed whispers of Cultivators exchanging information in the Myriad Sound Sect branch, and even the secret plotting of Demonic Cultivators in a certain Demonic Path Sect were all clearly audible.

He “saw” that the intelligence and commercial network centered on the Myriad Sound Sect, like an invisible net, had already covered the main spheres of influence of both the righteous and Demonic Paths.

Purple Spirit had done even better than he had expected over the years.

His Divine Sense shifted, entering the Star Palace.

In the magnificent main hall, Ling Yuling sat upright in the main seat, her palace attire adding to her majesty. Her Cultivation was surprisingly at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Beside her, Purple Spirit smiled charmingly as she added something, her aura also steadily at the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

Below them, the Star Palace Grand Elder listened with a solemn expression, nodding occasionally.

Lin Feng’s Divine Sense did not linger, continuing to probe upwards.

At the peak of the Magnetic Divine Mountain, two familiar auras sat cross-legged, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

It was the Star Palace Twin Sages.

Seeing this, Lin Feng’s figure moved again, and he silently appeared at the summit of the Magnetic Divine Mountain.

He did not restrain his aura.

That terrifying pressure, profound and stable as a towering peak, seemingly merged with Heaven and Earth, instantly startled the Twin Saints who were Cultivating.

“Who?!”

Ling Tianxiao and Warm Qing abruptly opened their eyes, as if facing a formidable enemy.

But when they saw that the newcomer was Lin Feng, the wariness on their faces instantly turned to astonishment, followed by a wave of relief.

“Fellow Daoist Qinglian, you’ve emerged from seclusion?” Ling Tianxiao let out a long sigh of relief.

But very quickly, the relief on his face turned into surprise and doubt.

He found that he could no longer see through Lin Feng’s Cultivation at all.

The Lin Feng before them was like a bottomless ocean, or a vast and boundless starry sky, making even them, peak Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators, feel a sense of insignificance and awe from the bottom of their hearts.

This feeling…

Could it be…

“Fellow Daoist Lin, you…” Warm Qing’s voice trembled slightly.

Lin Feng looked at the surprise and doubt on their faces and smiled calmly.

“Fortunately, just a slight Breakthrough.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the Twin Saints exchanged glances, both seeing unconcealed shock in each other’s eyes.

Soul Transformation Stage!

He had actually broken through to the legendary Soul Transformation Stage!

This thought, like a clap of thunder, exploded in their minds.

Ling Tianxiao opened his mouth, but in the end, it could only turn into a bitter smile.

“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qinglian, the Grand Dao is within reach.”

He stood up and bowed respectfully to Lin Feng.

This was no longer a bow between peers, but a salute from a Junior to a Senior.

Lin Feng accepted it calmly, his gaze, however, carried a hint of playfulness as he swept over the Magnetic Divine Mountain.

“During my years in seclusion, the Star Palace seems to have changed quite a bit.”

“Why aren’t the two Fellow Daoists properly assisting Jade Spirit with palace affairs? How do you have the leisure to act as hands-off managers here?”

Hearing this, a complex expression appeared on Ling Tianxiao’s face, with both relief and a touch of melancholy.

“It’s a long story.”

He paused, then slowly began.

“Twenty years ago, when my wife and I returned from the Outer Sea, we discovered that that girl Jade Spirit, with the help of Brother Lin, had already reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivation.”

“Not only that, she handled palace affairs in an orderly manner, and with Sect Leader Purple Spirit assisting in the dark, the overall operational efficiency of the Star Palace was much higher than when we two were in charge.”

Warm Qing also chimed in from the side.

“Later, we heard Jade Spirit and that girl Ning’er’s… plan to unify the Inner Sea.”

She sighed, her eyes filled with emotion.

“We then realized that perhaps we truly were old and couldn’t keep up with the ambitions of you young people.”

“Let them manage this Star Palace.”

Ling Tianxiao nodded, laughing self-deprecatingly.

“So, the two of us, following Fellow Daoist Lin’s example, also became the Grand Elders of this Star Palace, enjoying a leisurely life.”
