Chapter 1318: Treasures Inside the Iron Box

"Fine, thinking about that now is useless; let's deal with the matter at hand first."

After a while, Lin Feng let out a helpless sigh, shook his head, and brushed away the lingering thoughts.

Immediately, his consciousness plunged swiftly into his body to examine the condition of his new form.

But ignorance is bliss; upon looking, he was startled.

When Lin Feng's consciousness reached his interior.

He discovered that his body's life aura was more than ten times richer than before.

If his original life force, under the Dragon-Phoenix Physique, was only a few tens of thousands,

then now it must be at least around five hundred thousand years.

In other words, even without any increase in power, his current physique alone would let him live for several hundred thousand years!

"Truly worthy of the methods of Da Qian Shijie's strong ones; this transformation not only vastly increased my life force but also enhanced every aspect of my body's qualities. I even feel that my cultivation speed has become considerably faster now,"

While sensing his internal condition, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel endless amazement.

His body now is far stronger than before.

"Moreover, after this transformation, the Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline within me seems to have vanished entirely,"

As he spoke, Lin Feng's brows involuntarily knit.

Because although the Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline in his body disappeared, the innate talents he controls seem

and then, with a thought, he summoned his Heavenly Phoenix Wings.

Boom!

The next moment, a booming sound erupted behind him as a pair of black-and-white wings, dozens of zhang wide, sprouted.

"No Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline, yet my abilities remain unaffected—truly strange,"

He turned his head to glance at the wings behind him, and Lin Feng's face immediately showed a thoughtful expression.

But shortly after, he retracted the black-and-white wings behind him.

Simultaneously, his consciousness once again sank into his body to continue sensing.

Soon, his consciousness examined his muscles and organs.

As for the vital meridians, he didn't neglect them; he inspected them carefully several times.

However, during his inspection, Lin Feng found that his meridians had undergone a near cataclysmic change compared to before.

The meridians became larger and tougher—let alone that—and at many crucial points of the meridians,

an additional new pathway had appeared at some point.

The end of these routes, needless to say, is his New Vortex.

In other words, Lin Feng's body now possesses two Dou Qi Circulation Systems.

As long as his spiritual power is sufficient, he can simultaneously run two techniques and two Dou Techniques!

"I never expected this body modification to grant me so many benefits. With my current condition, anyone fighting me is essentially battling two Eight-Star Mid-Stage Dou Saints. Moreover, these 'two' Eight-Star Dou Saints are both under a single command; a mere thought lets them coordinate and attack the enemy as I wish,"

Thinking this, Lin Feng's mouth curved wildly upward, nearly reaching the base of his ears.

There's no denying that having two Dou Qi Circulation Systems inside one body is an enormous advantage.

In fact, opponents find him harder to handle than facing two peers of equal rank fighting together.

After all, even the most synchronized teamwork between two people can't match the convenience and harmony of Lin Feng directing his own internal Dou Qi.

"It's just a pity that the New Vortex siphoned away much of my Dou Qi, causing my Dou Qi strength to drop by two minor stages—quite annoying,"

Realizing his Dou Qi level had fallen considerably, Lin Feng curled his lip and muttered inwardly.

After all, strength is one of the most crucial things.

And in most cases, it's the most important thing!

"Never mind, at worst I'll send those concubines out to scout for useful items to boost my strength later,"

As he spoke, Lin Feng glanced toward the distant black-and-white iron box.

Then, with a flick of his finger, the iron box was drawn by a force and hovered steadily before him.

At the same time, the interior of the box finally fell into Lin Feng's view.

Inside, the contents were surprisingly simple: a black metallic book, a white metallic book, a gray metal spearhead, and a model of a small boat.

Beyond that, there was nothing else.

Although the box's contents were few, Lin Feng placed great importance on them.

After all, the information transmitted by that lingering shadow revealed the origin and function of these items.

These black and white books were weapons used before the cycle of reincarnation—the Book of Death and the Book of Light—each possessing various miraculous special abilities and being extremely useful.

It is said that mastering them can even resurrect long-dead beings in certain pocket worlds.

As for the gray spearhead, its length is comparable to a short sword, about seventy centimeters, and its whole body is a simple, coarse metallic gray.

Its shape also resembles a guandao.

The tip of the spearhead glitters with a chilling brilliance that makes it impossible to stare at directly.

From this, one can tell its sharpness is extraordinary.

Of course, its power is also far from trivial.

It is called the Boundary-Breaking Spike.

As the name suggests, it is an essential artifact for chipping open the world barrier to clandestinely slip into other worlds.

Since it can even damage the world barrier, its sharpness must be of an extreme degree.

However, while it can shatter world barriers, it can only break the barriers of the subordinate pocket worlds under Da Qian Shijie.

It also does not grant the ability to safely leave one's own world for another.

Precisely because of this, the lingering shadow's true form also left behind another item: the Void Boat.

This Void Boat is actually the same little boat model that's inside the black‑and‑white iron box.

It normally appears as a small boat model, but once it is deployed it can swiftly transform into a huge special vessel.

It can fly through the cosmic void, safely shuttling back and forth among the various small worlds or the Da Qian Shijie.

After all, a cultivator whose strength does not meet the standard would, if he abruptly leaves his own world for the cosmic void, likely be tormented to death by the harsh external environment.

Take a Dou Saint of the Dou Qi Continent as an example; although he can briefly leave the Dou Qi Continent to make a quick trip into the nearby cosmic space.

And on the Dou Qi Continent's Yihuo ranking, the twenty‑first entry, the Yin‑Yang Dual Flames, was also born in that kind of environment.

However, if those Dou Saint elites stray a bit farther from the Dou Qi Continent, they will be outright doomed, dying in a way that cannot be more fatal.

After all, the outer cosmic space lacks the protection of the World Wall, its pressure is extreme, and even a Dou Saint cannot endure it.

Even the Newly Promoted Dou Emperor can only honestly take the normal passage built by his predecessors to reach the Da Qian Shijie.

Otherwise, the pressure of the cosmic space would crush him.

Of course, this Void Boat is generally only available to those below the Earth Supreme.

A cultivator who has reached that realm can freely traverse the various worlds on his own, with no need to use this sluggish device.

Naturally, this sluggishness is only relative to the speed of Earth Supreme‑level cultivators.

For cultivators below that strength, the speed is already quite fast.

"No wonder earlier when I obtained the key, I saw the eight characters 'The barrier shatters, the road opens' on this box. If I had gotten this thing earlier and opened it, obtained the complete primordial Imperial Qi inside, cultivated to the peak of Dou Saint, I could successfully ascend to Dou Emperor using that source Qi, then use these Barrier‑Breaking Spikes to smash the World Wall of the Dou Qi Continent, and then, with the Void Boat, slip into the Da Qian Shijie. Indeed, that would break the obstacle and allow successful entry into the Da Qian Shijie."

While speaking, Lin Feng regretfully closed the black‑and‑white iron box and then stored it inside his nascent ring.

At this moment, he does not wish to use these items to leave the Dou Qi Continent for other worlds.

After all, the ancient emperor inheritance within the Tuo She Gu Di Dongfu is something he still wants to contend for.

Moreover, among his wives, many still have their own families.

They probably are unwilling to abandon their families so easily and run away.

"If it really comes to that, we can later use these Barrier‑Breaking Spikes to smash the World Wall, then take the whole family to another world for refuge."

Immediately after, Lin Feng let out a sigh, his gaze helplessly fixed on the Gu Nanfang Dalu Nanbian.

The Ancestor of the Tongling Sect is so powerful that it truly makes one feel uneasy.
