The Corpse Spirit King sensed from such fluctuations that Lin Feng had no intention of fighting. He just wanted to figure out who he really was, or perhaps to warn him.

For someone with no intention to fight, why should Lin Feng continue this endless entanglement?

The woman called Yan by the Corpse Spirit King, however, was full of battle intent. When called by the Corpse Spirit King, she reluctantly gritted her teeth.

In the end, she just gave Lin Feng a cold look before the two turned and walked towards the dense forest.

At this time, Qian Yue rushed back again.

It seemed she wasn’t at ease with Lin Feng.

"Did you just let them go like that?"

Lin Feng didn’t give a direct answer, just smiled coldly. The smile was so calm.

"They won’t be coming back."

"Huh?"

Qian Yue stood on the path behind Lin Feng, her eyes looking straight ahead, in the direction where the Corpse Spirit King had left earlier.

"The Corpse Spirit Clan was swept into the Six Realms conflict, and the entire clan was wiped out. I think they treasure their lives more than we do."

After this hasty answer, Lin Feng left the dense forest with Qian Yue.

"I already know the entrance, it’s at the end of this dense forest, there lies the gateway to Qingling Realm. Let’s go back...."

This time, less than half of the cultivators who set out returned alive.

Of the fifty people Lin Feng led, fewer than twenty returned.

From Yuan Hong’s team, only two returned alive, plus Qian Hua and Qian Yue, making just a third of what it was before.

Of the hundred-strong reinforcement team, only sixty or seventy remain. Though the losses were severe, they obtained a lot of treasures after the battle with the Dragon King submerged in water.

They gathered as many as ten thousand two hundred Dragon Scales, enough to make a hundred sets of Dragon Scale Armor.

Or forge into thirty Dragon Scale Swords, or even a dozen Magic Artifacts.

But the distribution of these Dragon Scales, Lin Feng entrusted to specialized people. The Dragon Scale Armor is a top-quality treasure, incredibly durable.

It also possesses Spiritual Energy, often crafted into armor or talismanic treasures.

Apart from the Dragon Scales, they also acquired Dragon Blood from the Dragon King’s body; it’s a supreme treasure that enhances cultivation and strengthens physique. Records of Dragon Blood can extend back more than three thousand years, to even more distant ancient times.

It’s said Dragon Blood can grant ordinary people immortality, and it’s rumored that Dragon Blood can temper human physique. Cultivators can bathe in Dragon Blood and, combined with appropriate cultivation techniques, obtain a powerful body, making their physique and bloodline extremely robust.

Unfortunately, no one dares to directly bathe in Dragon Blood since it contains the power of heaven and earth, imbued with supreme Dragon Power, its blood is incredibly potent, forcing its use will inevitably result in injury.

Many have attempted to forcefully activate Dragon Blood without a cultivation technique, causing the bloodline of the bather to be corroded, leading to their death. How could a human body bear the powerful True Dragon Blood, yet there are exceptions as all things are not absolute.

Some even extracted Dragon Bones, using the marrow to make Immortal Elixirs. These can be sold at a high price in auctions, a price a few Spirit Stones could never cover.

They also forged the remaining bones into magic artifacts or weapons.

Lin Feng used the Demon Suppressing Sword to split open the Dragon’s head, extracting the Dragon Ball from its skull. This is the condensed cultivation of the Dragon Clan, equivalent to a cultivator’s True Yuan.

There are too many mysteries, which won’t be detailed here.

Lin Feng obtained the Dragon Ball, granting him the keyhole to open the gate to another world. The gates to the Six Realms could be opened by Lin Feng.

In the Six Realms, only one True Dragon is hidden in the Human Realm, its Dragon Ball absorbing the earth and sky essence. Against the backdrop of millions of years, it gained unsurpassable wisdom. True Dragons are the most intelligent lifeforms in the universe, hence revered as the Dragon God by humans. However, to cultivators, this Dragon God is merely an unrivaled treasure.

Once these treasures were forged into magical artifacts or armor, they were distributed to ordinary people or cultivators.

Ordinary people mostly received Dragon Armor, its innate Spiritual Power boosting the wearer’s physique.

Wearing Dragon Armor transformed an ordinary person into potentially a candidate with cultivation skills.

Sadly only around a hundred suits of Dragon Armor exist in the Six Realms, all in the hands of Peace City’s cultivators and people. If others knew, they would die of envy; after all, Dragon Armor is such a precious treasure.

An experiment was conducted, where a master of the Sixth Spirit Knot fought against a Third Spirit Realm cultivator wearing Dragon Armor. The Third Spirit Realm individual surpassed his level and killed the opponent. Although somewhat unbelievable, it demonstrates the power of Dragon Armor.

Lin Feng also prepared a set of Dragon Armor for himself, intending to use it in the final battle. However, even he does not know when that battle will commence.

Time, in the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

The shelter of Peace City grew larger, but food supplies dwindled.

Recognizing the food problem, Lin Feng convened a meeting.

In the meeting, Lin Feng decided to personally lead everyone in opening up farmland. Although cultivators can go long without eating, gaining lots of Life Force through their True Yuan, so they don’t rely on eating.

However, eating is the most basic way for them to gain energy.

If ordinary people go without food or water for long, within days they’ll die from the depletion of Life Force.

The world is such that not everyone has the aptitude to cultivate the Dao. Not everyone can reach the end of the vast cultivation path.

Now, the over sixty cultivators from the Human Realm can be called its last remaining power.

They resist for the Human Realm, making a stand for fate’s resistance, defending the Righteous Path against evil in a life-or-death struggle, dying for justice in an instant. When they die, no one will remember, and no one will miss them. Life and death are destiny; if it’s fate, why be attached.

"What, reluctant to leave?"

Hua Shengmi asked Lin Feng.

The two hadn’t spoken for a long time, and Hua Shengmi didn’t realize that Lin Feng had long grown weary of the constant fighting.

Regarding the Innate Spiritual Seed who dragged him into this war quagmire, Lin Feng had both gratitude and resentment.

The Innate Spiritual Seed helped Lin Feng continuously improve, yet Lin Feng found himself becoming less like himself.

However, on second thought, without Hua Shengmi’s help, Lin Feng might not have made it this far. Perhaps decades ago, he would have been dead.

And wouldn’t have a body brimming with youthful vigor.

"Do you remember the last time you transformed into a human form in my Heart Demon? I think you might be able to do that in the Six Realms too."

Hua Shengmi nervously laughed a little.

He said to Lin Feng, "You’re overthinking it, haha, how could I manage that."

In truth, Hua Shengmi himself wasn’t sure if he could separate from his host and become an independent entity in the Six Realms.

Hua Shengmi sometimes wondered if the time came, would he have to separate from Lin Feng?

In fact, Lin Feng still had many paths to walk, needing to traverse to the Lingxiao Realm and fight to the death with the Lingxiao Lord.

Before that time arrived, Hua Shengmi definitely couldn’t leave Lin Feng. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Nothing is absolute in the world." Lin Feng joked with Hua Shengmi.

As Lin Feng was speaking with Hua Shengmi, Wu Fa walked in.
