Chapter 1046: Key of Light and Darkness, Holy Radiance Cauldron and Dark Demon Cauldron

That's right, although Lin Feng didn't know when the iron box had changed its appearance.

But he was certain that this black-and-white metal box in his hand was the one he had seen earlier.

Zhao Yuan, he didn't do the switching.

After all, Lin Feng didn't believe Zhao Yuan could find a substitute for the life force in the white part and the death force in the black part of this black-and-white box, and then deceive him!

"Could it be that this box itself can change?"

After the shock, Lin Feng immediately turned his gaze back to that black-and-white iron box.

However, the longer he looked, the more his brows furrowed, deepening continuously.

Because he was now quite certain that this metal box had become very different!

In his thoughts, he subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to touch his chin.

But before his palm could touch his chin, a cold metal object suddenly made contact with his chin first.

This unfamiliar sensation caused Lin Feng to immediately lower his hand.

Looking ahead, he saw that the key he held in his hand was higher than his palm by a bit.

It must have been that the key reached his chin before his hand did.

"Wait, a key?"

Staring at the white key in his hand, Lin Feng suddenly seemed to think of something.

"Could it be because I'm holding this key?!"

Thinking this, Lin Feng didn't hesitate, quickly putting the white key back into the jade box and closing the lid.

And as that white key lost contact with him, the life force that had been continuously flowing into his body just now vanished in an instant.

However, at this moment, the former naturally didn't have time to worry about that; as soon as he stored the key in the jade box, his gaze once again turned to the black-and-white metal box.

Immediately afterward, he saw that the metal box was exactly the same as when he first saw it!

"Indeed, is it like this?"

Lin Feng fixed his gaze on the black-and-white metal box before him and slowly uttered a few words.

At this moment, his earlier guess seemed to have been verified.

And saying 'seemed' because there was still one final verification step that hadn't been completed.

Immediately after, Lin Feng slightly shifted his gaze and looked again at the cyan jade box in his hand.

"Click!"

Then, the lid of this small box sprang open again, and at the same time Lin Feng reached out and grasped the key inside once more.

And his line of sight likewise moved back to face the metal box ahead.

"It looks like my guess is correct. Holding this key versus not holding it, the patterns on the box appear different."

Seeing the pattern revert to what he had seen earlier, Lin Feng's tone involuntarily fluctuated.

At the same time, he quickly rose and moved in close to the black-and-white metal box, observing it carefully and attentively.

"No, these patterns are characters broken down into strokes!"

After staring for a long time, Lin Feng's mouth uncontrollably shouted out excitedly.

While speaking, he quickly committed those strokes to memory and then began to piece them together.

"Key of Light and Darkness, Holy Radiance Cauldron and Dark Demon Cauldron. When the four are united, the barrier breaks and the path ahead opens."

As Lin Feng haltingly finished piecing together the characters above, he froze on the spot.

Although he was unfamiliar with the preceding Key of Light and Darkness,

but after piecing together the later Holy Radiance Cauldron and Dark Demon Cauldron, he instantly guessed.

The thing referred to by this phrase is undoubtedly the Holy Radiance Cauldron and the Dark Demon Cauldron!

"If I haven't guessed wrong, what I'm holding in my hand now should be that Key of Light. In that case, haven't I now gathered half of what's needed to open the box before me?"

Thinking this, Lin Feng reached up to touch his chin and said thoughtfully.

"However, although I haven't gotten my hands on the Holy Radiance Cauldron, the information I previously obtained from the Zhao siblings indicated that it seems to be on Wu Chunsheng."

Recalling the information about the Holy Radiance Cauldron, Lin Feng's eyes involuntarily showed a hint of joy.

Thus, as long as he obtains the Holy Radiance Cauldron from Wu Chunsheng's hands and then finds the final Key of Darkness, he will be able to open this mysterious iron box.

However, whenever Lin Feng thought of Wu Chunsheng, he could only sigh.

"It seems I can only wait for Feng'er or Cai Lin to leave seclusion before I have a chance to deal with Wu Chunsheng. After all, I can't go up against a Dou Saint expert. And as for the Ancient Dragon Clan side, they've just helped me out, so I should let them rest for now."

Muttering to himself, as his gaze shifted slightly, he unintentionally caught sight of the area around the two keyholes.

"Regardless of whether everything is ready, let's give it a try first."

Thinking this, Lin Feng immediately and without hesitation reached out, inserting the key into the white side keyhole of the black-and-white metal box.

As he exerted force on the key, the white portion of the black-and-white metal box suddenly burst forth with a dazzling white radiance.

"Buzz!"

Not long after that white radiance appeared, it suddenly surged, instantly illuminating the empty space within dozens of li around.

"Holy crap, what a bright light!"

At the same time, Lin Feng beside him felt a sting in his eyes, then instinctively raised his hand to shield them while cursing.

However, just as he was bathed in that white light, his consciousness suddenly became dazed without warning.

Vaguely, he felt as if he were now in a world of utter purity.

Here, there is no worry, no trouble; all sensations are the finest.

Even that sensation could compare to the peak feeling when Qing Lin created humans, and it is sustained.

"Hiss~"

However, this feeling didn't last long; as the white light abruptly faded, Lin Feng's consciousness instantly returned from that state.

At the same time, that white key also suddenly popped out of the keyhole.

"What terrifying light, even my soul power, which has almost reached the mid-Heaven Realm, cannot awaken from that white light!"

As he caught the white key, Lin Feng's heart surged with tremendous shock.

"However, what does it mean that the box says the four things unite, the barrier breaks, and the way forward opens? Could it be that the things inside are very powerful, and after obtaining them, one's strength can break through all the way without any barrier? So, is the way forward opened like that?"

After repeatedly thinking it over in his mind, Lin Feng then spoke with an uncertain tone.

But soon, he shook his head again, overturning his previous speculation.

"No, that's not right; this explanation is a bit far-fetched. Given the situation of this black-and-white metal box, that Dou Emperor expert also put some thought into it, so it's unlikely he would leave such boring words."

After denying his previous speculation, Lin Feng murmured softly: "But what exactly do the barrier and the way forward each represent, and what is their connection?"

"Sigh~"

After a long while, unable to obtain any satisfactory answer, he helplessly sighed, then put the Light Key he held back into the jade box, and then stored it in his space ring.

Immediately afterward, he likewise stored the black-and-white iron box into his space ring.

"These experts, if they have something to say, why not just say it clearly? Why must they speak in riddles, leaving me now utterly puzzled."

Thinking of those incomprehensible words, Lin Feng couldn't help but complain about the ancient Dou Emperor expert who made this black-and-white iron box.

If the other party had just spoken plainly, he wouldn't be so clueless.

"Forget it; now I have obtained the Light Key and the Black Demon Cauldron, I also know the whereabouts of the Holy Radiance Cauldron, lacking only information on the final item. If this thing is truly fated for me, I believe I can also find the remaining Dark Key."

Saying that, Lin Feng shook his head, dispelling the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind.

Immediately afterward, he stretched his bones, chuckling: "Now I have time, so I'll take the opportunity to break through my soul realm, and by the way, refine the Heaven Mending Pill."

Saying that, he immediately sat cross-legged, then quickly held his breath and focused, his mind beginning to fully operate the Heaven-rank Soul Cultivation Technique that the Medicine Emperor had passed down to him.

At the instant that technique began to run, the spiritual energy within a hundred-mile radius of the surrounding void surged wildly toward him at extreme speed.

Finally, a terrifyingly dense spiritual energy storm formed above his head!

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

During this period, Lin Feng continuously broke through to the mid-Heaven Realm soul, and also successfully refined the peak eighth-grade Heaven Mending Pill.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er, far away in the Eastern Region Ancient Realm, also composed their moods and entered the Tian Mu three months ago.

And inside, they continually killed energy entities to obtain energy cores.

Unlike in the original story, because Xiao Yan had a deal with the Ancient Clan this time, his process of entering the Tian Mu went very smoothly, without any high-level Ancient Clan personnel obstructing him.

Even if some low-level Ancient Clan personnel, unclear why, tried to block Xiao Yan from entering the Tian Mu, they were quickly resolved by the high-level Ancient Clan.

Of course, at this time Gu Xun'er also roughly understood, from some Dou Saint Elders, the reason for her defeat when she previously competed with Lin Feng.

And Xiao Yan was also extremely shocked by the possibility that Lin Feng's strange fire could give birth to a fire spirit.

However, no matter how shocked they were, it couldn't change anything.

Meanwhile, Hun Ya and Hun Li, due to Lin Feng's reminder, coupled with Gu Xun'er's formidable strength,

after entering the Tian Mu, the two of them did not think about dealing with Xiao Yan, but instead directly avoided him, discreetly hunting energy cores to absorb and level up.

However, as Hun Ya and Hun Li encountered Xiao Yan on the second layer of the Tian Mu, the tension between them also gradually grew.

After all, Xiao Yan is someone the Soul Clan utterly hates; now seeing him, could they possibly sit down and chat pleasantly?
