Chapter 1319: Cultivating the Second Technique

It's just a pity that the primordial emperor qi inside this black-and-white iron box has already been mostly consumed by that residual shadow. And what little remains was also used up when it just remodeled my body. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to worry so much.

Upon saying this, Lin Feng also couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

After all, if that primordial emperor qi were still there, his confidence would be much greater.

Forget it, at least those remaining primordial emperor qi weren't wasted; they were all taken by that reincarnation's residual shadow to reshape my body. And according to the information transmitted by that shadow, this way, if I ever get a chance to advance to Dou Emperor in the future, breaking through will be faster and easier for me than for others. Moreover, if it truly proves impossible, I still have the means to leave this place and head to the Da Qian World.

Immediately afterward, Lin Feng shook his head and comforted himself inwardly.

However, when speaking of leaving the Dou Qi Continent to go to the Da Qian World, his body suddenly froze.

The next moment, he flipped his palm and took out an ancient-looking grey piece of skin paper.

This thing is precisely the Seek World Map he obtained at the Space Trading Fair back then.

However, before this, because he had never found a place where it could be used, it had remained idle in his space ring.

But now, he seems to have found a place where it can be used.

If I haven't guessed wrong, this Seek World Map is a map leading to the Da Qian World and some small worlds. It's just that, because nowadays hardly anyone on the Dou Qi Continent knows of the Da Qian World's existence, no one has managed to decipher its secrets. However, if one day I need to leave the Dou Qi Continent, this thing will indeed come in handy, so I won't get lost in the vast cosmos.

Gazing at the grey piece of skin paper in his hand, Lin Feng secretly pondered.

But soon, he moved his hand and stored it into his space ring.

Whoosh!

However, just as he put the thing away, a golden figure suddenly flashed past in front of him, then fiercely pounced into his embrace and kept sniffing wildly.

Master, how have you changed? Your scent is different, your body is different, everything is different!

While lying in Lin Feng's embrace and sniffing wildly, Xiao Ling also wore a rather strange expression.

I merely had my head stuck in a rock for a while; after coming out, how did my master change so drastically?

And seeing this girl's behavior that resembled Zi Yan's, Lin Feng's eye twitched slightly.

Immediately afterward, he skillfully picked up Xiao Ling, tucked her under his arm, and gave her round, perky butt a fierce barrage.

Master, I was wrong! Xiao Ling was wrong!

Feeling the familiar pain on her buttocks, Xiao Ling, without a word, immediately submitted.

After all, based on past beatings, she knew that if she kept being stubborn, she'd only get beaten worse.

And now, having been beaten many times by Lin Feng, she likewise, without a word, immediately chose the best course: to yield.

However, as Lin Feng kept striking, the soft yet springy feel in his palm also made his inner fire flare a bit.

After all, his emotions fluctuated greatly this time; now that the matter is temporarily settled, his desire.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng suddenly turned his gaze toward Xiao Ling, whom he had lifted up, whose development was quite good.

Immediately afterward, he set the girl down and then tapped her little head.

Girl, you've been clamoring for the same treatment as the mistress; today I'll grant your wish.

While speaking, Lin Feng also gave a wicked smile toward the girl before him, who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Hehe, master, you finally understand; don't think Xiao Ling is just a strange fire, but I'm actually quite capable!

And seeing that her master often does things with other women, Xiao Ling instantly forgot the pain, happily patting her chest and said,

After all, she is really quite curious about her master.

However, just as she finished speaking, Lin Feng's palm struck her occiput again.

Master, why is this different from what I imagined?

I don't know how long has passed; the previously giggling Xiao Ling now has a bitter little face, an innocent expression.

As for Lin Feng, he chuckled and rubbed her little head.

This girl, her little head is full of food, and she thought this was something tasty to eat.

However, it seems we should develop more uses for the Spirit of Strange Fire in the future. Playing with fire is actually not bad either.

Having said that, Lin Feng secretly made up his mind.

In the future, he should study Xiao Ling's uses more.

Forget it, let's talk about that later; first, let's study my own affairs.

However, shortly afterward, Lin Feng suddenly furrowed his brows, his gaze gradually turning solemn.

After all, there are too many troubles now; he must boost his strength.

Otherwise, he'll eventually meet his doom.

Although my strength has declined somewhat now, I have gained a new qi vortex. This way, I can cultivate multiple techniques without worrying about conflict.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng temporarily ignored the nauseous Xiao Ling and silently went to a spot in the sky to sit down.

Immediately afterward, his black-and-white twin-fish pupils flickered slightly, and then a technique named Life and Death Decision appeared in his mind.

This technique is good, but it's somewhat dangerous!

Having finished reading the technique's content, Lin Feng's brows immediately tightened.

This technique requires cultivating deathly power and then storing it within the body.

And these deathly powers, although they will not intentionally harm the master,

but being constantly together, over a long time they accumulate.

these deathly powers still cause some harm to the cultivator.

Although these harms are not great, they only diminish part of the cultivator's lifespan, but they cannot withstand a long duration.

Day by day, month by month, the fate of those who cultivate Life and Death Decision will still become extremely miserable.

Of course, to prevent these deathly powers from harming oneself, the technique clearly states that one should use life force to protect oneself, so as not to be eroded by those deathly powers.

But this method has a time limit.

Its effective duration can at most sustain about a hundred years.

After that, even if you have life force protecting you inside, you will still suffer harm from the deathly power.

And if one wants to permanently eliminate the damage of the Death Force, the only way is to cultivate to the Spirit‑grade Celestial Supreme within a hundred years.

But the problem is, how many people in this world can achieve that?

Of course, the risk is enormous, yet this technique is also extremely defiant of the heavens.

When the cultivator refines it to a profound realm, they can comprehend life and death, freely traversing the cycles of reincarnation without being affected.

Moreover, the power of this Death Force is terrifying, reputed to contain a fragment of temporal potency.

Once it invades an enemy's body, it can instantly siphon their life force, causing them to age and die!

At the same time, the Death Force erodes the enemy's body, stealing their life force for one's own use.

At that point, one's own life force can increase dramatically.

Furthermore, this life force can heal wounds, treat oneself or others, and extend lifespan.

"Forget it, we'll train later; if we can't get through this calamity now, let's not even talk about the backlash of this life‑death decision!"

Facing the imminent crisis, Lin Feng decided not to hesitate any longer and immediately began cultivating the method for his second vortex, exactly as described in the technique.

"Husband, your strength has dropped to the mid‑stage of the Eight Stars? Could it be because you're injured?!"

When Lin Feng returned to the Lin Realm, Xiao Yixian, Qing Lin, the three beauties Dan Ta, and Cai Lin, along with the other women, noticed the shift in his aura and instantly changed expression, their eyes filled with concern as they asked.

After all, a regression in strength usually only occurs when using a secret technique with severe side effects, or after sustaining extremely serious injuries.

Therefore, they were also worried that Lin Feng, sealed on that continent, had suffered extremely severe injuries, which explained his tension.

However, Qing Lin, also a Soul of the Imperial Realm, found her young master rather odd.

Because in her perception, her master's strength had indeed regressed considerably.

Yet, the Dou Qi within his body had not diminished at all.

In fact, there were faint hints of something additional.

Seeing the women's misunderstanding, Lin Feng waved his palm down, signaling them to calm down.

After the women fell silent, Lin Feng spoke: "You've misunderstood; my regression isn't due to injury, but because of an unexpected encounter."

He then roughly recounted to the women what happened after he opened the Black and White Iron Box.

Of course, being too lazy to explain further, and since discussing the Da Qian Shijie with the women now held little relevance.

Thus, he described the Earth Supreme Perfected Strongman known as Lunhui as an ancient Dou Emperor.

As for the Da Qian Shijie, if they can survive this calamity, Lin Feng will naturally tell them.

Of course, he subconsciously omitted the matter of Xiao Ling eating.

After all, that information was of no use to them.

So Lin Feng simply didn't bother to say more, planning to tell the women all at once later.

"What?!"

After hearing their man's explanation, the women instantly stared at him with astonished faces, their eyes full of disbelief.

They, being Lin Feng's women, naturally knew about the Black and White Iron Box.

At the same time, they also knew that their man had been searching everywhere for the box's key.

However, they didn't think the box contained any Dou Emperor inheritance; they merely suspected it might hold some cultivation resources hard to obtain elsewhere.

After all, the name of Light and Shadow Space has been spread across the Zhongzhou Continent for tens of thousands of years.

Yet during that time, no one was heard to have obtained anything related to the Dou Emperor inheritance.

Now, their man told them he is the first person in ten thousand years to "eat the crab."

Such a claim would leave anyone who heard it in disbelief! —

There is another chapter later; tomorrow, ten thousand.
