We'll render: "Qing Lin was confident she could advance straight from her current one-star Dou Saint peak directly into the two-star Dou Saint realm."
Thinking of this, Qinglin impatiently urged, "Yomie, hurry and take us to try and see if we can get it. If there really is the Yellow Spring Demon Saint's essence blood, we'll give you a share later."
Translation: Thinking of this, Qing Lin impatiently urged: "Yao Ming, quickly bring us to try and see if we can obtain it. If there truly is the essence blood left by the Yellow Spring Demon Saint, we'll share a portion with you then."
We need to keep quotes. We'll render: "Thinking of this, Qing Lin impatiently urged: 'Yao Ming, quickly bring us to try and see if we can obtain it. If there truly is the essence blood left by the Yellow Spring Demon Saint, we'll share a portion with you then.'"
Upon hearing Qinglin's promise to share any Yellow Spring Demon Saint essence blood they found, Yomie's eyes lit up with excitement.
Translation: Hearing Qing Lin's promise to share a portion if they found the Yellow Spring Demon Saint's essence blood, Yao Ming's eyes flickered with a hint of longing.
After all, even though the Yellow Spring Demon Saint's inheritance is valuable, if I can't get it, it's practically worthless.
Translation: After all, even though the Yellow Spring Demon Saint's inheritance is good, if I can't obtain it, it's as good as having none.
Thinking of Lin Feng and Qinglin's powerful soul power, Yomie's eyes flashed with a glint, and he nodded, saying, "Yes, sir."
Translation: Thinking of Lin Feng and Qing Lin's powerful soul strength, Yao Ming couldn't help but flash a glint of light in his eyes, then nodded and said: "As you command."
He then added excitedly, "After all, with my soul power I couldn't possibly obtain that inheritance, but given the master and young master's soul power, there should still be a chance."
Translation: After saying that, he immediately added somewhat excitedly: "After all, with my soul strength it's impossible to obtain that inheritance, but judging by the master's and young master's soul strength, there should still be some chance."
"At least, compared to us magical beasts, the chances are far greater."
Translation: "At least, compared to us magic beasts, the chance is who knows how many times greater."
Note there is a period after the number? We'll keep as is.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yomie was momentarily startled, then recovered and added, "The Yellow Spring Stone Tablet is our Nine Netherworld Ice Python clan's treasured heirloom; it bears three fighting techniques carved into it: Yellow Spring Finger and Yellow Spring Palm. The former is a low-tier Heaven-rank technique, the latter a mid-tier Heaven-rank technique, both extremely powerful."
Translation: As soon as his words fell, Yao Ming was momentarily startled, then recovered and added: "That Yellow Spring Stele is the clan's treasure of my Nine Netherworld Earth Abyss Python clan; carved on it are three fighting techniques: Yellow Spring Finger and Yellow Spring Palm. The former is a low-rank Heaven Tier fighting technique, the latter a mid-rank Heaven Tier fighting technique, both extremely powerful."

Translation: Even the Yellow Spring Finger can only be practiced by a few elders whose strength reaches the Half Saint Realm or above; as for the Yellow Spring Palm, only those of our clan who have reached the Dou Saint realm are qualified to cultivate it.

Translation: "Mid-rank Heaven Tier, Yellow Spring Palm?"
After hearing that, Qinglin's delicate face showed a flash of surprise.

"Reply to master, the name of that final fighting technique is Yellow Spring Heavenly Fury."

Upon hearing the previous speaker begin, Yomie immediately performed a salute and then, with a light smile, spoke the name of the final fighting technique.
Translation: Upon hearing the master speak, Yao Ming immediately performed a salute, then with a light smile spoke the name of the last fighting technique.
"Yellow Spring Heavenly Fury?"
Translation: "Yellow Spring Heavenly Fury?"
Hearing this name, Qinglin briefly pondered, then suddenly lifted her face, shocked enough that her mouth involuntarily opened slightly, and she asked uncertainly again: "Yellow Spring Finger, severing life and death; Yellow Spring Fury, shattering souls? Are you referring to the famed technique of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint, Yellow Spring Heavenly Fury?"
Translation: Upon hearing that name, Qing Lin after a brief thought suddenly raised her small face, her mouth involuntarily opening in shock, her tone uncertain as she asked again: "Yellow Spring Finger, severing life and death; Yellow Spring Fury, shattering souls—is what you're referring to the famed technique of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint from back then, Yellow Spring Heavenly Fury?"

Translation: And of those peak powerhouses who fell at the hands of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint, out of ten, at least nine had their souls shattered to death by the Yellow Spring Heavenly Fury she unleashed.
Not to mention this girl; even Lin Feng, who had long been prepared in his heart, couldn't help but show deep greed upon hearing those four words.
Translation: Not to mention this girl; even Lin Feng, who had long been prepared in his heart, couldn't help but show a deep greed upon hearing those four words.
After all, high-tier Heaven-rank fighting techniques, even if placed in most Dou Emperor families, are akin to clan-protected treasures.

If one must say, perhaps only within the Soul clan could there exist fighting techniques surpassing this level.

After all, in the original story, the Soul Heavenly Emperor indeed used a technique said to be capable of slaying Dou Emperor experts.

Of course, that technique comes with many limitations.

However, because one of them acted alone ahead of time to save his junior, he ultimately lost one-quarter of it.

When used, it's possible that even four-star or five-star Dou Sheng experts could suffer a hidden loss.

And Qinglin, having received the previous speaker's confirmation, eagerly urged, "Then let's go now!"

While speaking, the girl couldn't help but rub her hands, her face full of anticipation.
Translation: As they spoke, the girl couldn't help but rub her hands, her face full of anticipation.
However, Lin Feng, upon hearing that, immediately said, "Forget it; Yomie has just broken free of the seal, his body is weak, and we've also expended a lot of battle qi in there, so let's go a few days later."
Translation: However, upon hearing that, Lin Feng immediately said: "Forget it; Yao Ming has just broken free of the seal, his body is weak, and we also expended a lot of Dou Qi in there, so let's go a few days later."

After all, he is indeed somewhat weak right now; he should continue to rest properly.

Thinking of this, he immediately smiled and said, "If that's the case, then master and young master, please follow me to the guest rooms to rest for a while."
Translation: Thinking this through, he immediately laughed: "In that case, master and young master, please follow me to the guest room to rest for a while."

And in the following days, the Nine Netherworld Ice Python clan was also unsettled.

Translation: First, their former clan chief Yao Ming returned, and his strength swiftly rose from the Half Saint level at his disappearance to the late stage of the present two-star Dou Saint.
Of course, a span of several hundred years is nothing to these magical beasts of the Nine Netherworld Ice Python clan.
Translation: Of course, a span of several hundred years is nothing to these magic beasts of the Nine Netherworld Earth Abyss Python clan.
They might just undergo a single secluded cultivation session and that would account for that much time.
Translation: They might just spend that time in a single round of closed-door cultivation.
Several hundred years might seem to them like just over a decade for humans.
Translation: Several hundred years might seem to them like just over a decade for humans.
And when their old clan leader returned, and within this short span of a few hundred years he underwent successive breakthroughs, rapidly rising to two-star Dou Sheng, the clan's elders naturally gathered around, curious to ask how their old clan leader managed it.
Translation: And when their old clan chief returned, within this short span of a few hundred years he underwent successive breakthroughs, sharply rising to two-star Dou Saint; consequently, the clan's elders naturally gathered around, curious to ask how their old clan chief managed it.
After all, who doesn't want to improve their own strength.
Now that they see hope, can those old men hold back from going up to ask Yao Ming?
As for the latter, he also brought up the reason Lin Feng had previously mentioned—that he had gone out to explore earlier and ended up trapped in an ancient alchemist's medicine garden.
And he relied on the large amount of top-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures inside, forcibly raising himself to the present late stage of Two-star Dou Saint.
In the end, it was Lin Feng and Qing Lin who rescued him.
As for the things inside, he had already consumed them all over the past few hundred years.
Meanwhile, Yao Xiao Tian also took the opportunity to propose to the other elders that Lin Feng and Qing Lin had rescued his older brother, and that they had limitless potential, so their Nine Netherworld Earth Dark Python clan should maintain good relations with them.
Therefore, he suggested that since Lin Feng is an alchemist, they should use high-grade medicinal materials to win him over.
After all, their Nine Netherworld Earth Dark Python clan's territory in the Beast Realm is not small, and their population is also large.
The medicinal materials they usually collect are also quite plentiful.
As for Yao Xiao Tian's proposal, the grand elder of the Nine Netherworld Earth Dark Python clan was the first to agree.
After all, he was originally a staunch supporter of Yao Xiao Tian; speaking up naturally wouldn't raise suspicion.
As for the remaining elders, after hearing the current clan leader's words and seeing the grand elder's agreement, they hesitated only briefly before immediately agreeing.
After that, Yao Xiao Tian openly took out a large amount of top-tier medicinal materials from the clan's treasury.
Then he secretly gathered some more medicinal materials and sent them all to Qing Lin.
Needless to say, they naturally ended up in Lin Feng's hands.
And time passed quickly like that; when the morning light of the fifth day poured down from the horizon, Yao Ming came to the room where Lin Feng and Qing Lin resided and summoned them.
After Yao Ming explained the situation, with Qing Lin's eyes shining and urging him on, he immediately set off for the rear mountain.
Along the way, the three of them made no stops, merely flying for less than ten minutes.
Lin Feng and the others then followed Yao Ming and landed on an ancient altar.
Looking out, the altar was built on the peak of a high mountain, extremely magnificent, and entirely constructed from blue-green giant stones.
Standing atop the altar, they could overlook the surrounding relatively smaller peaks.
Next, Lin Feng's gaze fell forward, discovering at the center beneath the altar a massive pale-yellow stone tablet about a hundred zhang tall, standing lonely here.
On the four sides of the stone tablet, many strange runes were carved, faintly flashing with odd light.
Among those runes, a gigantic finger and a palm print about half a zhang deep were carved.
Looking closely, one could sense that strange information was continuously emanating from it.
One would think this is likely the cultivation method of the Yellow Spring Finger and Yellow Spring Palm.
Meanwhile, as the few of them looked, an ancient aura immediately spread out, as if eternal and everlasting.
"This is the legendary Yellow Spring Stele, after all, it's not ordinary."
Lin Feng raised his head to look at the huge stone tablet ahead, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
After all, this thing was left by a peak expert on the verge of breaking into the Dou Emperor realm.
And beside him, Qing Lin, upon hearing her young master's words, also nodded in agreement.
Of course, compared to the Yellow Spring Finger and Palm recorded on the stele, what she cared more about was the essence blood of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint inside the stele, as well as the heavenly-rank high-level sound wave battle technique, Yellow Spring Heavenly Fury.
Just as the two were marveling at the stone tablet ahead, Yao Ming, after landing, immediately walked up to the stele and performed a solemn salute.
After doing that, he then slowly stepped back, turned his head toward Lin Feng, and said: "Young master, this is the Yellow Spring Stele of my Nine Netherworld Earth Dark Python clan, and the Yellow Spring Heavenly Fury and essence blood are hidden within it."
"However, within this stele lies a remnant soul of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint guarding it, and the cultivation method of the Yellow Spring Heavenly Fury and that essence blood are likely hidden within that remnant soul."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, then continued: "Back then, I once wanted to obtain the Yellow Spring Heavenly Fury cultivation method and the essence blood of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint from within the stele. But the moment my soul power just entered the stele, I was hit by a soul shock that made me vomit blood, and only after half a year of recuperation did I barely recover."
"And this is also one of the reasons why I was successfully ambushed by Yao Xiao Tian and his group."
Upon hearing that reminder, Lin Feng also nodded silently.
Even he himself clearly felt an extremely strong soul power within this stone tablet.
Faced with this situation, he also did not become careless just because his soul power was strong.
After all, when facing the remnants left by such a powerful being, one can never be too careful.
And Qing Lin, whose soul power is somewhat weaker, felt even more wary of the soul pressure emanating from the stele.
Upon sensing that powerful soul power within the stele, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Just a wisp of remnant soul possesses such tremendous pressure; I can't imagine how formidable the Yellow Spring Demon Saint must have been at its peak."
Upon hearing that, Lin Feng gave a light smile and said: "I sensed a strange pressure within that soul power. If I'm not mistaken, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint's soul realm in life should have been the Emperor realm."
Hiss!
Hearing the two words "Emperor realm," both Yao Ming and Qing Lin couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Although they had already guessed roughly from the terrifying strength of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint.
But now, having received Lin Feng's confirmation, they still couldn't help but gasp.
"Anyone who can half-step into the Dou Emperor level is certainly no ordinary person."
Afterward, Yao Ming gave a bitter laugh, then turned his gaze to Lin Feng and asked: "Young master, can you do it?"
"Hehe, I think there shouldn't be any problem."
Upon hearing that, Lin Feng gave an indifferent smile, then his eyes burned hot as he gazed at the massive stone tablet ahead.
Next, he turned to Qing Lin and Yao Ming and said: "During this time, don't let anyone approach my body."
As soon as his words fell, Lin Feng's body trembled slightly.
Immediately thereafter, a somewhat illusory figure slowly stepped out from between his eyebrows and finally hovered before this stone tablet hundreds of zhang tall.
