Chapter 1348: Awakening of the Little Spirit

"Go!"

The other Battle Saints of the Gu and Yan clans, seeing the situation, immediately followed Gu Yuan and flew over.

After all, their perception here is weaker, only able to sense an area of ten to a hundred zhang around them.

Therefore, they could only follow Gu Yuan.

As for the Battle Saints of the Soul clan, since Hun Tian Di and Wu Nie Tun Yan are absent, they dare not say anything.

They can only, after the Gu clan and others depart, use their perception to swoop toward the direction where their clan leader is.

"Flying so fast, could Wu Nie Tun Yan perhaps know the layout of this place?"

Trailing behind the two, Hun Tian Di and the other, Gu Yuan sensed the decisive action of Wu Nie Tun Yan ahead and was instantly shocked.

Upon first arriving here, even he, a Nine‑Star Peak Battle Saint, was subject to some suppression; for a moment he could not detect the distant environment, let alone search for the Imperial Embryonic Pill.

But unexpectedly, Wu Nie Tun Yan seemed to have the bearing of an old horse that knows the road.

That bearing was as if the other had been here before.

However, considering the importance of the Imperial Embryonic Pill, Gu Yuan hesitated briefly, then continued to follow Wu Nie Tun Yan and the other forward.

As for that large group of Battle Saint elites, they flew while each used their own method to sense the location of their clan leader.

In the time that followed, the two waves of Soul and Gu troops, within this seemingly endless Gu Di Dong Fu, raced at full speed.

Their forms, like a meteor shower, streaked swiftly across the sky!

This quiet flight lasted for nearly a dozen minutes, after which the Wu Nie Tun Yan at the front finally began to gradually slow down.

And as he slowed, Hun Tian Di, Gu Yuan, and the others quickly caught up.

But soon, Hun Tian Di and his companions were surprised to notice that the environment around them changed abruptly in an instant.

When they regained their senses, they looked around in astonishment and then discovered.

They were now standing on an extremely vast plain.

And ahead of them, an enormous ancient stone hall, whose footprint exceeds the territory of the Blue Star's Jiao Pen Ji, rose abruptly.

The stone hall, towering several thousand li high, stood silently atop the endless plain.

An ancient aura rippled outward, spreading throughout the heavens and earth.

In front of the stone hall lay a vast plaza whose edges were impossible to discern.

On both sides of the plaza stood towering sky‑piercing pillars, each several thousand zhang tall.

The stone pillars stood in rows, bearing ancient and intricate carvings.

At once, Hun Tian Di and the others felt a majestic, overwhelming aura rush upon them!

As for Wu Nie Tun Yan, at this moment it stood in the sky, its gaze fixed rigidly on the stone hall ahead.

In its eyes, the scorching intent almost solidified.

But Hun Tian Di and Gu Yuan, unfamiliar with this place, were not as casual as Wu Nie Tun Yan.

After stabilizing themselves, the few of them immediately scanned the surroundings.

After confirming that within their perceptible range there was indeed no danger, they began to observe the surrounding structures.

"We can almost go in now."

At the same time, Lin Feng, who had been waiting outside for a while, then spoke to the people behind him.

While speaking, a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

Even his palms trembled slightly uncontrollably.

At this pivotal moment that decides the continent's direction and their own lives.

Even he could not completely maintain a nonchalant attitude.

"If we go in, won't Hun Tian Di and the others notice? After all, they are all Imperial‑realm spirits, whose perception is terrifying."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Zhu Kun's brows twitched slightly, and his tone thereafter carried deep doubt.

After all, their Tai Xu Gu Long are extremely adept at spatial power, and with him present, they could block the gate here without fearing the opponent's escape.

Once those inside finish fighting to the death, we will then reap the harvest.

Thinking of this, Zhu Kun even ignored Lin Feng's address to him.

Normally, he would have to properly speak to that kid.

And the Tian Yao Huang Zu, along with everyone else, now cast their gazes toward them.

After all, entering Gu Di Dong Fu now isn't it hard for the Soul and Gu clans to notice?

"Hehe, father‑in‑law, the dense fog inside is hard for both sight and soul power to penetrate. Even our soul powers might not detect far inside. And Hun Tian Di and Gu Yuan certainly aren't stronger than us, so staying at a distance should avoid being discovered."

Hearing that, Lin Feng immediately shrugged and gave a casual excuse.

After all, he couldn't just say he'd read the original work.

He knew that once inside Gu Di Dong Fu, perception would be severely suppressed.

"I agree with Lin Feng's plan; instead of just standing outside, we should go inside to see the situation. After all, none of us want any mishap with the Imperial Embryonic Pill."

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Zi Yan immediately stepped forward and agreed to the former's plan.

Although she didn't know the pros and cons, ever since meeting Lin Feng, his sense has been spot‑on.

Therefore, she unhesitatingly endorsed his plan.

And Xiao Yixian, Cai Lin, Qing Lin and the other women naturally could not oppose, all nodding in agreement with their men's plan.

As for the Jiu You Di Ming Mang Zu, those controlled by Qing Lin, of course followed the former.

Thus, after Lin Feng spoke, they also offered no objection.

And Huang Tian, knowing he had no chance, also remained silent on the matter.

Seeing that most inside were in agreement, and after his own perception, he indeed found that, as Lin Feng said, the fog inside Gu Di Dong Fu was hard for battle Qi or soul power to pierce.

Zhu Kun considered briefly, then helplessly nodded, "If so, then we'll follow that Hun Tian Di and the others inside."

Seeing the others agree, Lin Feng instantly thought of something, and a golden streak of light flashed out from his body.

The golden light writhed for a moment, then transformed into a beautiful girl in a golden skirt, about eighteen years old.

As soon as the girl appeared, everyone around instantly sensed her.

The temperature around them was rising sharply.

"Although the Mid‑stage Eight‑Star level Spirit of Anomalous Flame looks barely breakthrough, it is still genuine."

Looking at the golden‑skirted woman before him, Zhu Kun's eyes narrowed instantly.

He then looked at Lin Feng and said, "You black‑hearted brat, your Spirit of Anomalous Flame is interesting. The aura I sense from her doesn't seem to be just the single anomalous flame you previously possessed. I, the former Emperor, have dealt with several anomalous flames before, and on her I can feel the essence of every anomalous flame I know!"

"Your Majesty the Old Dragon Emperor, you are unaware: Lin Feng possesses a method of merging anomalous flames, allowing him to fuse them into a new type of fire. This Spirit of Anomalous Flame is called Xiao Ling, formed by the fusion of a dozen or twenty anomalous flames, and its combat power is terrifying. If Xiao Ling were not still inexperienced, even confronting Wu Nie Tun Yan would likely result in a huge loss."

Realizing the former still lacked some information about Lin Feng, Zhu Huo's wrinkles twitched, and he immediately stepped forward with a smiling grin to explain to their Old Dragon Emperor.

He seemed to be praising Xiao Ling, but many details about Lin Feng and Xiao Ling were unintentionally conveyed through that praise.

"Oh, this is somewhat interesting."

Hearing this, Zhu Kun's expression flashed with surprise, then turned thoughtful.

As for Lin Feng, after noticing Zhu Huo's ulterior motive, he gave a slight smile and said nothing.

He then looked at Xiao Ling and said, "Girl, this is Gu Di Dong Fu, but the mist inside is extremely strange; it can block our Dou Qi and soul power. Therefore, I want you to try to use the mutual resonance among anomalous flames to locate Wu Nie Tun Yan, and thereby lead us to Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan and the others." "This"

Hearing that, Xiao Ling's mouth twitched.

Your soul power and Dou Qi are restrained, so she likewise cannot sense.

Moreover, Wu Nie Tun Yan is stronger than she is; even if it could be sensed, it would be Wu Nie Tun Yan that first perceives her existence!

However, when she saw her master staring at her, Xiao Ling instantly swallowed back the words of refusal.

"Master, I'll give it a try, though I'm not sure it will work."

Seeing Lin Feng's gaze, Xiao Ling had to grit her teeth and agree.

As soon as the words fell, the girl curiously looked ahead at the massive green stone gate towering tens of thousands of zhang, the transparent passage within, and the silver gate at the far end.

Then, under everyone's burning gazes, she was the first to fly toward the passage at the green stone gate.

"Everyone, follow Xiao Ling!"

As soon as he moved, Lin Feng immediately waved to the people behind him.

At the same time, he and Zhu Kun followed closely behind her into the massive green stone gate.

As for the others, after exchanging a glance with familiar faces, they all swooped toward Gu Di Dong Fu.

Xiao Ling, moving at lightning speed, zipped through the transparent passage and entered the spatial gate at its end.

Immediately after, the girl felt a sudden— and then she found herself in a thick gray mist.

"The mist here really hinders perception; how am I supposed to find the way?"

Standing steady in the gray mist, Xiao Ling, after realizing this thing truly blocks perception, muttered softly.

After all, she's never been here; why would her scoundrel master make her come out to lead the way?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ling bit her silver teeth and made up her mind.

When the others later enjoy a feast, she will suddenly exert force just to make the other look good!

"Xiao Ling, why are you spacing out? Did you find the direction?"

While he was plotting revenge against his master in his mind, Lin Feng's urging voice immediately reached her ears.

"Hehe, I'll try it right now."

Hearing his words, Xiao Ling promptly nodded obsequiously.

The sycophantic look gave no hint that she had just been thinking of biting her master hard.

Of course, the reason for her cowardice is that she had been beaten and scared earlier.

Thus, for the sake of protecting her own backside, Xiao Ling simply chose to follow her heart.

While speaking, she immediately began to act, scanning the surroundings and diligently searching for traces of Wu Nie Tun Yan.

"Master, I actually found it; this direction carries a trace of Wu Nie Tun Yan."

After a short search, a delighted expression instantly lit Xiao Ling's delicate face, and she cheerfully pointed ahead.

Although she didn't know where Wu Nie Tun Yan had gone, the spot she stood on indeed bore a faint Wu Nie Tun Yan aura.

Therefore, Wu Nie Tun Yan must have passed through here not long ago.

"Swish!"

As soon as his words ended, the others around instantly smiled.

They had previously doubted whether this girl could truly locate Wu Nie Tun Yan's trace.

But they didn't expect the other to be so effective, discovering it so quickly.

Realizing this, Zhu Huo immediately urged: "Little sister Xiao Ling, hurry and take us there; we can't let Soul Emperor and the others snatch the Imperial‑grade Embryo Pill!"

"Right, right, right, let's go quickly…"

Hearing this, the other members of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan also hurried.

After all, now that their Old Dragon Emperor is out of trouble, the Imperial‑grade Embryo Pill is most likely to be seized by them among Lin Feng, the Tian Yao Phoenix Clan, and the Jiuyou Earth Serpent Clan.

Thus, the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan members are the most proactive about this matter!

Hearing this, Xiao Ling glanced at her master.

After seeing him nod, she lightly tipped her head and darted toward the direction of Wu Nie Tun Yan's aura.

Meanwhile, the others followed closely, disappearing one after another into the dense mist.

"This kid, what is he really scheming?"

While flying, Zhu Kun's peripheral glance caught the suddenly calm Lin Feng, causing his brows to knit.

Although his contact with the latter is limited, after all this person has a huge connection with his daughter.

Therefore, he also learned some information about Lin Feng through his clan's juniors.

And from those materials, given his despicable nature, there's no reason for him to rush in here like this!

After all, as that brat said before, it's an Emperor-grade medicinal pill, and furthermore an Emperor-grade nascent pill that's been cultivated for over ten thousand years—how could it be easy to handle!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly take notice.

Because he always felt that this brat seemed to know something.

Moreover, the Heavenly Flame Fusion Method that he initially didn't pay attention to now, judging from the Heavenly Flame spirit named Xiao Ling, seems extraordinary as well!

"Right, Tuoshe Gudi, I remember he seems to have swallowed several dozen Heavenly Flames from the Heavenly Flame List, and after cultivating for ten thousand years, became a Dou Emperor."

Thinking of Tuoshe Gudi's experience, Zhu Kun seemed to have guessed something in his heart.

After all, others don't know the specific details of Tuoshe Gudi, but as someone from roughly the same era as him, he actually knows quite a lot.

Therefore, it is naturally known that Tuoshe Gudi himself is essentially a Heavenly Flame, and possesses information about the extraordinary abilities of fusing multiple Heavenly Flames that other Heavenly Flames lack.

Afterwards, as everyone flew silently, the expression on Xiao Ling's delicate face at the front gradually became complex.

If those behind were to see her current Xiao Ling, they would certainly be able to notice.

At this moment, Xiao Ling's expression changed rapidly like a mask—first seeming bewildered, quickly turning painful, but in an instant appearing fearful.

In short, Xiao Ling is gradually unlocking a seal related to some memory.

A vast amount of memory is surging forth in her mind like a flood.

Although this memory isn't particularly pleasant, it is indeed hers, or the experience of one of the many flames that constitute her, a certain Heavenly Flame.

However, the recovery of her memory is not so strange.

After all, in the original work, Xiao Yan's fire spirit could awaken many memories not long after entering this place.

Moreover, Xiao Ling in every aspect now far surpasses the fire spirit of Xiao Yan from the original work.

Thus, awakening naturally becomes easier.

At the same time, the reason Lin Feng let Xiao Ling out to show the way is

The main factor among these is to have Xiao Ling's memory awaken.

In this way, the help that this girl provides him will also increase dramatically in an instant. (End of chapter)
