Chapter 165: Completing the mission yields generous rewards.
Ling Feng clearly remembered the earth-shattering battle between the Yellow Bird and the Black Water Serpent in the original story, which even managed to break and destroy this incredibly sturdy space.
However, at this moment, there were ten powerful pets of equal strength beside him, including the mysterious yellow bird!
Such a lineup is truly impressive. With such terrifying power, it should not be difficult for them to forcefully break through this strange spatial barrier.
As Ling Feng clearly sensed the increasingly intense changes in the surrounding space, he pondered for a moment before making a decisive decision:
We must not hesitate any longer!
Without hesitation, he issued instructions to all the pets, ordering them to do everything in their power to break free from the confined space.
Upon receiving the order from their master Ling Feng, the group of demonic beasts dared not delay and instantly unleashed their most powerful skills, launching a fierce attack on the incredibly sturdy stone door like a surging torrent.
In an instant, all sorts of dazzling lights intertwined, as if a magnificent fireworks display was unfolding at the stone gate.
To Ling Feng's surprise, the once indestructible stone gate was now as fragile as paper. After enduring a single, all-out attack, it shattered without a doubt, turning into countless tiny fragments scattered all over the ground.
As the stone gate collapsed with a deafening roar, Ling Feng keenly sensed that the entire space was rapidly shrinking at an alarming rate.
Faced with the sudden change, Ling Feng reacted quickly, leaping into the air in a flash, and with all his pets, they escaped the collapsing space at lightning speed, like lightning streaking across the sky.
Once everyone was safely out, Ling Feng looked back and saw that the space where the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury was located had returned to its ordinary and unremarkable state.
It looked as if a tree hole had been carefully carved in the very center of a thick tree trunk, but this tree hole was slightly larger than an ordinary tree hole.
Before Ling Feng could react further, a clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out.
"Ding!"
"System task has been successfully completed!"
"Congratulations on receiving the system rewards: Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation (Pseudo) and Infinite Pet Space."
After checking the mission rewards, Ling Feng was speechless, completely dumbfounded and at a loss for words.
In fact, it wasn't that he was dissatisfied with the reward; on the contrary, Ling Feng was filled with astonishment and surprise at this moment.
It should be noted that from any perspective, this reward is the best of the best, like rain after a long drought, perfectly meeting Ling Feng's current needs.
Now, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is renowned for its power and is the most powerful trump card in the hands of the Tongtian Sect Master in the prehistoric world!
This formation is incredibly powerful; it can trap the enemy, making it difficult for them to escape.
It can also control life and death, causing opponents to be annihilated.
Even more astonishing is that breaking this sword formation requires the concerted efforts of four equally skilled masters at the same level.
Although Ling Feng obtained a replica of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, he estimated that it would take at least three people of the same cultivation level as himself to work together to break the formation.
Given Ling Feng's current strength, it would be quite difficult for him to find three opponents of equal ability.
In this way, Ling Feng has undoubtedly gained another extremely powerful trump card.
As for the other reward—the unlimited pet space—Ling Feng gazed at the ten pets surrounding him, secretly rejoicing:
"They came at just the right time!"
After all, wandering around with so many pets is quite eye-catching and a bit ostentatious.
Now that we have this amazing pet space, we can keep these little guys inside every day, which saves us a lot of unnecessary trouble.
After carefully examining the generous rewards given by the system, Ling Feng couldn't help but turn his gaze back to the majestic and magnificent tree in front of him.
A strong sense of curiosity welled up within him, driving him to explore the reason behind it—what exactly caused this giant tree to grow to such an astonishing height?
As is well known, ancient trees of this size and age are extremely rare, even in any other world.
Because in their long life course, they often have to go through countless hardships and trials in order to survive and continue to grow stronger;
Reaching such a breathtaking level is even more difficult!
Ling Feng looked around and noticed that although the ordinary trees surrounding the giant tree were slightly taller and more upright than their counterparts, they still paled in comparison to the towering tree in front of him.
It was as if only this unique giant tree possessed some special power or opportunity to break through conventional limitations and grow to such an extraordinary state.
After careful consideration, Ling Feng finally deduced:
Perhaps the answers hidden behind all the mysteries can be traced back to the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, which has now quietly vanished without a trace.
It is perhaps this mysterious and treasure-filled Heavenly Treasury that endowed this giant tree with extraordinary vitality and growth potential, making it a rare and wondrous sight in the world.
However, these things did not attract much attention from Ling Feng.
After all, he had already looted the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, so the giant tree that originally carried the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury now seemed insignificant.
After gathering his scattered thoughts, Ling Feng decided to lead his adorable pets away from this gloomy and terrifying death swamp.
After all, the purpose of this trip has already been achieved, and there is no point in staying here any longer.
Moreover, with his current formidable strength, he has enough confidence and assurance to temporarily set aside his obsession with arduous cultivation and embark on a thrilling journey of training across the vast and boundless continent of China.
After all, relying solely on diligent self-study behind closed doors is not a long-term solution; one must also step out of the house and broaden one's horizons in order to make progress.
However, when it came to where exactly to go for training, Ling Feng was completely at a loss.
In fact, his knowledge of the world was quite limited, and almost all of his information came from books he had read in his previous life.
Now that I'm actually there, I'm at a loss for what to do.
Ling Feng pondered to himself that perhaps the best approach was to let things take their natural course and take it one step at a time.
No matter what unknowns and challenges lie ahead, as long as you move forward bravely, you will always find your own path.
Having made up his mind, Ling Feng led his many pets and headed towards Da Wang Village.
Along the way, whether it was the nine powerful and fearsome overlords of the demon beasts, or the mysterious yellow bird that later joined the group, they all released their incomparably powerful aura without reservation.
As a result, the journey was quite smooth, and they did not encounter any fools who came to cause trouble.
When Ling Feng arrived at Dawang Village, he found that the place had not changed at all and still looked the same as before.
In fact, such a situation is quite normal.
You have to understand, this Dawang Village is very close to the desolate and extremely dangerous Death Swamp, so how could anything earth-shattering change happen?
If the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault hadn't suddenly appeared, even the original story probably wouldn't have devoted much ink to describing this Great King Village.
Ling Feng had no intention of staying here for long. After a short rest, he set off without hesitation.
His next destination was the city closest to Dawang Village—Wumian City.
Just as its name suggests, the city is shrouded in thick fog all year round, as if it were in a hazy dream world.
However, despite its unique scenery, it is actually just an ordinary second-rate city on the Chinese mainland.
Just as Ling Feng was getting closer to Mist Crown City, he decisively put all his pets into the pet space that was specially prepared for them.
Taking them along would have attracted far too much attention, and Ling Feng had never intended to act so ostentatiously.
Just as Ling Feng was about to step into the city gate of this city called Mist Crown City, he was suddenly drawn to a notice standing at the city gate.
The reason was simple: the notice clearly displayed his own portrait!
More importantly, there was no crowd gathered in front of the notice at this moment, which clearly indicates that the notice has been posted here for quite some time.
Driven by intense curiosity, Ling Feng couldn't help but step closer and examine the notice carefully.
However, after he read the entire notice word by word, his previously calm face instantly turned icy cold.
It turns out that this notice was actually issued by the Qingyun Sect, whose original intention was to search for this so-called "great demon".
Furthermore, the notice detailed all the crimes he had committed, the most prominent of which was his series of actions in the Incense Valley.
What angered Ling Feng even more was that Fenxiang Valley had actually taken the initiative to pin the blame on him.
How could Ling Feng not be furious in the face of such slander and accusations?
After all, any normal person would find it hard to feel happy if they were unjustly slandered and falsely accused.
Moreover, Ling Feng also had some reservations about the Qingyun Sect itself.
They hastily labeled him as an utterly heinous villain without conducting any thorough investigation or verification. This behavior is simply outrageous!
This sudden turn of events stirred up a storm in Ling Feng's heart. How could those people regard him as a demon?
In that case, perhaps he should try playing the role of a villain.
However, he forcibly suppressed the thought as soon as it arose.
With its current strength, there is really no need to care too much about the opinions of others.
As long as they don't provoke him, everything will be fine; but if anyone dares to challenge him, he will definitely not show any mercy.
Ling Feng stared at the notice, pondered for a moment, and then decided to ignore it. He resolutely turned and stepped into the city gate.
In fact, if it were merely to avoid potential trouble, he could easily use his transformation technique to change his appearance and thus sneak into the city, which would certainly prevent him from attracting attention.
However, considering that his own strength had already reached its peak, even if he could not be called unparalleled in the world, he could at least be among the best in the world, so Ling Feng felt that there was no need to be so cautious.
Perhaps it was precisely because of his open-mindedness and composure that the people around him did not pay much attention to him.
Thus, Ling Feng entered the city smoothly without causing any abnormal situations.
After entering the city, Ling Feng headed straight for a bustling restaurant.
As everyone knows, regardless of the world, restaurants are often places where all kinds of information converge and flow, naturally making them Ling Feng's primary choice for obtaining intelligence.
Here, people either talk loudly or whisper among themselves, and all sorts of messages are constantly being passed around.
Ling Feng, on the other hand, hoped to glean a useful clue from these complex and varied words.
Ling Feng stepped into the restaurant called "Youjian Restaurant" and was surprised to find that at least half of the diners were already seated there.
However, when Ling Feng appeared, he did not attract much attention from anyone.
Clearly, no one could have predicted that a wanted criminal by the Qingyun Sect would dare to appear here so openly.
Since no one noticed his presence, Ling Feng naturally avoided any potential trouble.
He leisurely ordered several dishes and a pot of fine wine, and then began to enjoy this rare moment of delicious food.
During the meal, Ling Feng overheard the conversations of the people around him and learned the latest news about the Qingyun Sect Grand Competition.
What surprised him even more was that the guy named Zhang Xiaofan had apparently gotten incredibly lucky and made it into the top four of the competition.
Upon receiving this news, Ling Feng was momentarily stunned.
He found it hard to believe that even with his intervention, everything seemed to be developing along the original trajectory.
Since everything is proceeding as originally planned, their next destination is the mysterious and unpredictable Ten Thousand Bats Cave.
Thinking of this, Ling Feng couldn't help but recall the Black Water Serpent hidden within.
Ling Feng was filled with curiosity and anticipation for this legendary giant python.
With nothing else to do, he decided to go and join the fun, to explore the secrets hidden behind this ancient cave.
And deep within his heart lurked an incredibly wild ambition: to make every powerful demon beast or mysterious divine beast in the world his exclusive pet.
Since they harbor such lofty ambitions, how could they easily miss out on the renowned Blackwater Serpent?
What's more, this opportunity might even allow me to reunite with those three kids from the Qingyun Sect!
With this in mind, Ling Feng made up his mind that after resting briefly in the fog-shrouded Miancheng, he would embark on his journey again, heading towards the legendary Ten Thousand Bats Cave.
