Because now he lives not only for himself, but also for the people of Peace City and the long-standing peace of the Human Realm.

Lin Feng’s thoughts became more mature, and the scope of his considerations became broader.

Although he didn’t eat fish himself today, he still grilled fish for others.

He didn’t need to start a fire, yet he could maintain his own peace.

But because of others’ needs, he personally set about gathering firewood.

Lin Feng’s thoughts also became more thorough.

This is the awakened Lin Feng, possessing the eternal foresight of a dragon and wisdom seemingly accrued over thousands of years.

As the sky gradually brightened, Wu Ping finished eating the remaining three Fine Armored Scale Fish. Then she drank some water.

Seeing that Wu Ping had eaten her fill, Lin Feng prepared to set off.

At this time, Xue Nian was nowhere to be found.

"Where is Xue Nian?" Wu Ping asked Lin Feng in surprise.

Her mouth was half-open, her expression somewhat puzzled.

Lin Feng was very calm, looked at the traces on the ground, and quickly found the reason.

He said to Wu Ping, "Let’s go."

Seeing Lin Feng saying this to her, Wu Ping didn’t think much more of it.

Then she followed Xue Nian directly and moved deeper into the Oasis.

In the depths of the Oasis lies an ancient village. This ancient village seems to have a history of thousands of years.

The houses are quite unique, yet there is no one there.

"The people here have all left." Hua Shengmi said to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng raised his head to look around, using his Spiritual Sense to probe. But he found nothing, yet just as Lin Feng was retracting his Spiritual Sense, he caught sight of a residual trace of Dark Light near a stone door.

Lin Feng guessed that Xue Nian must have fought with something to end up here.

The previous mark left on the Oasis was probably meant to tell him where he was heading.

Lin Feng was following that faint trace left in the air, and that’s how he ended up here.

But what exactly is Xue Nian trying to do? Could it be that he is here to hunt something hiding in that Stone Temple?

Thinking of this, Lin Feng began to understand. All the previous events were nothing but shadows cast secretly by the enemy.

Their sole intention was to lure Lin Feng and others into the temple.

Could it be that Qingling’s people already know about this journey of his? Or could it be that all the dangers along the way were meticulously arranged by Wu Tian?

But no matter what, Lin Feng could not afford any more delays; he had to advance toward the Stone Temple along this Dark Light.

No matter what dangers lie ahead, Lin Feng must be mentally prepared.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng collected his thoughts, retracted them, and immediately instructed Ping’er to wait for him here.

Then he handed a Ruyi to Ping’er, saying that if there were any danger, this Three Treasures Jade Ruyi could help her dissolve it.

Then he directly rushed into the Stone Temple.

Inside the Stone Temple, everything was built with huge stones. Each of these stones weighs several hundred pounds.

If cultivators were constructing these stones, it would only take a few days to create such a magnificent sight.

But if ordinary mortals were to build them, it would be incredibly arduous.

Even if hundreds of people worked together for ten years, they might not complete it.

Upon entering the stone door, there was a stone plaque, covered in moss with perennial water droplets falling onto the stone steps, making them extremely slippery.

Lin Feng almost slipped, but fortunately, his movement technique was nimble, and with a step restored his position.

Suddenly, a row of sharp arrows flew towards him, and Lin Feng flipped to dodge them, the arrows embedding themselves in the stone walls.

Lin Feng glanced at the stone wall, noticing many skeletons there, likely due to this row of arrow traps.

Lin Feng looked down at the slippery ground, which seemed deliberately designed this way. Combining it with the natural phenomenon of dripping water wearing away stone, an excellent trap was formed after thousands of years. Could it be the owner of this temple doesn’t want to be disturbed?

"Lin Feng has no intention of disturbing this Stone Temple, but the circumstances are special, so he has no choice but to be intrusive."

Lin Feng bowed slightly to the front, then paced quickly toward the inner part of the Stone Temple.

After entering through the temple’s entrance, he entered a relatively narrow corridor, flanked by fences and Stone Carvings, with many strange texts and images. Lin Feng could not understand what exactly was written there, but he knew it must be some ancient text.

Since the residents had disappeared, such inscriptions remained unsolved mysteries; perhaps a knowledgeable elder could recognize these characters.

But definitely not Lin Feng.

Not understanding, he stopped pondering and proceeded directly through the corridor to the temple’s interior.

After passing through this intricately constructed passage and rounding a corner, Lin Feng arrived at an even more spacious hall.

The hall was adorned with an ancient patterned dome, with faint light emanating from it, and in the center, a Stone Pillar held a Stone Lamp, which was now extinguished.

The walls of the hall were made of piles of large stones, with ancient marks throughout, echoing the place’s distant past and former glory.

"This might be a place for conducting rituals." Hua Shengmi explained to Lin Feng.

Hearing Hua Shengmi’s explanation, Lin Feng began to question.

"Rituals, what kind of rituals?"

"It might be an array formation ritual, as if allowing one to dispel difficulty and find liberation."

"It seems this is not a place filled with goodwill." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Lin Feng seemed to have sensed something from Hua Shengmi’s analysis and said this to Hua Shengmi.

Then Lin Feng hurriedly inquired of Hua Shengmi.

"Now that there’s no way out, what should we do?"

Hua Shengmi began to ponder, while Lin Feng took another look around the room and found no mechanism.

At that moment, a radiant light suddenly burst from the originally dim stone chamber, with a golden light curtain steadily enveloping the entire scene.

Everything here was restored to its former glory.

The ancient stone walls, weathered over countless years, lost their previous hues.

The pillar holding the Stone Lamp in the center of the hall had also become dim and somber, covered with stains and small patches of moss.

However, just as the blinding golden light curtain gradually enveloped the entire area.

Everything seemed to turn back in time, with the ruins and rubble instantly restored, and the once lusterless hall turned golden and splendid.

The inscriptions on the walls and the craftsmen’s skillful carvings emitted fresh colors and exquisite appearances.

The formerly dirty and worn Stone Pillar exuded a new luster, as if Nature had skillfully painted them, with rich and vibrant colors.

Amidst the illumination, located within the lantern at the top of the Stone Pillar, the hall lit up with dazzling light, making the once gloomy hall bright.

Lin Feng gazed at the magnificent scene before him, overwhelmed by shock and joy, as if he had entered the Immortal Realm.

This magical sight was like a sheet of blank paper, transformed by the artist’s superb skills and vibrant colors into an enchanting landscape. Watching the colors gradually form a beautiful picture on the paper, how could one not be amazed?

At this moment, Lin Feng’s mood mirrored this. Observing the scene before him, it was as if he had returned to the vast Snow Domain, standing within a dazzlingly white Snow Cave, where infinite energy surged into his body.

Lin Feng looked up at the golden dome, filled with boundless compassion.

Suddenly, from outside, came a group of lavishly dressed men and women, reminiscent of a King and Empress, followed closely by attendants.
