Chapter 2323: Xiao Feng's Deep Thoughts (7 More)
Nameless manor.
Three fairy maidens welcomed back their men.
"Dao brother, you've been gone this long, still smooth?" Yu Cixue wasn't cultivating just now; she was the first to see him return.
Xiao Feng nodded: "Very smooth, killed two overlords, resources enough for us to use for a thousand years."
He returned from Kamo Kingdom; after killing Zhao Tian just now, he went on the way to also kill Kamo, so that this interracial couple would have a companion in the underworld.
Although he killed three overlords in total, the resources he actually obtained were only equivalent to those of two overlords.
Kamo was poor; if not for taking over Mokui's legacy left in the city, he would simply be a penniless wretch.
Fortunately, Mokui's legacy was especially abundant, even more than what Zhao Tian left behind.
Now Xiao Feng's storage space holds so many cosmic spirit stones that they can't be used up—green ones alone number two or three hundred billion, with plenty of cyan and blue ones as well.
The purple ones are the fewest, but still over ten thousand.
"Killed two overlords?"
"Dao brother, you… this is terrifying?"
Han Zichen and Xue Ningzhen also finished cultivating, frightened by his terrifying battle record.
Xiao Feng gathered source qi, conjuring three silver‑white rings from nothing, tearing space to fuse them into storage rings.
Then he stored 100,000 blue cosmic spirit stones and 1,000,000 green cosmic spirit stones in each ring and handed them over.
"Take these to use first; come find me for more when they're gone."
Blue cosmic spirit stones are for cultivation; green ones function as currency, though they can also be used for cultivation, just less effectively.
"That much?"
The three women were all shocked, never expecting him to give that many cosmic spirit stones at once.
Xiao Feng shook his head: "Just a drop in the bucket—I'm basically a bandit now, killing and looting to get rich. Sigh…"
After saying that, he sighed.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Han Zichen helped him sit down and comforted him: "Don't feel guilty; the Infinite Continent has always been our enemy. They are living beings raised by cosmic thieves, so there's no need to feel guilty."
We're an old married couple, so she naturally understands Xiao Feng's feelings right now.
Xiao Feng sighed: "I think the same, but even though I think that way, I still can't get past it in my heart. What I'm doing now is no different from banditry. Moreover, in Zhao Tian Holy City, that single drop of water of mine killed at least hundreds of millions of civilians. Such sins… weighing on my heart, how could I be at peace?"
Before killing and after killing are two different states.
New recruits encourage themselves before going onto the battlefield, fearless.
But when they actually reach the battlefield, seeing living people fall one after another, bodies mutilated, blood flowing everywhere, the ground reeking of gore… their minds will develop a great shadow.
After every war ends, many people cannot escape the shadow and develop psychological disorders.
Xiao Feng didn't kill just one or two enemies, nor twenty or so—but hundreds of millions!
Although there was no bloody scene, he clearly knows in his heart that he is a killing demon king.
"Don't think like that; the path of the strong is naturally filled with blood and thorns. Keep your mindset calm—life and death aren't anything frightening, and killing or being killed is just something to face calmly." Han Zichen continued to soothe him.
"Hmm."
Xiao Feng nodded, willing to listen to his wife's advice.
However, some thoughts still well up in his heart.
Xue Ningzhen came over to massage his shoulders and said softly: "Dao
Brother, take a rest—you're exhausted. Since we arrived in the Infinite Continent, you've been protecting all of us without ever taking a break."
This woman, who is as cold as frost to others, is like a gentle little sister in front of Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng heard this and laughed: "Who says I haven't rested? I just rested half a year ago."
"Really? Where did you rest? I didn't see it, so it doesn't count." Xue Ningzhen said.
"I went to Blue Star, then…"
Xiao Feng told them about his experiences over the past half year.
After listening, Yu Cixue was eager to try: "Can we still do that? If we have time, we should try too."
She was the boldest of the three; back in the Nine Provinces Immortal Realm, she had once openly hinted to Xiao Feng. But at that time Xiao Feng wasn't that unrestrained and didn't accept.
Later…
After letting herself go completely, she no longer held back.
By comparison, Han Zichen and Xue Ningzhen were much shyer; although they also wanted to try a bit, they were too embarrassed to speak up.
Xiao Feng shook his head: "Forget it—with just that bit of stamina, you'd be begging for mercy within three days; you can't compare to my family's Xuan Die elder sister."
"This…"
All three simultaneously wore a bitter expression.
Han Zichen said: "I will continue to work hard on my cultivation…"
"Me too!" Yu Cixue and Xue Ningzhen expressed agreement.
"Alright, then you guys work hard. When your strength improves, I'll take you to the Ancient Battlefield to hone your skills. Besides… in a few years you can take a leave of absence; if you want to go home, you can make a trip back." Xiao Feng said.
At this stage, cultivation mainly focuses on strengthening the physical body to achieve a genetic leap.
In the future, once strength reaches a certain level
, refining the laws becomes more important; the immortal battle will left on the ancient battlefield is exactly the best whetstone.
"Home…"
Han Zichen's eyes lit up with longing upon hearing that: "I haven't gone home in over twenty years; my parents surely miss me—I should go back."
"Me too—father and mother are probably old now, sigh…" Yu Cixue sighed.
She is also a person from the ancient civilization world in reality, except that previously she was not a cultivator, but a princess of a dynasty.
According to mortal lifespans, this leave to go home might be their last chance to see their parents in this lifetime; the next leave would be at least ninety years later, by which time their parents will have grown old.
By comparison, Xue Ningzhen is much more carefree; she was originally a cultivator, having had no parents since childhood, raised by her master, whose cultivation is high, able to live for three thousand years, enough to wait for her return.
Xiao Feng's situation is also somewhat better; although his parents and relatives have not reached the Controller realm, Jiang Ning and Xiao Mi are only Li Ti Controllers, but at least their lifespans are relatively abundant.
Once they slowly evolve to the Super Brahma Valley stage, they also have a lifespan of two or three thousand years, allowing them to accompany for a longer period.
As for the future...
Then it remains unknown.
The three girls all went to cultivate.
Xiao Feng sat on the grass, gazing into the distance at Tian Kong.
"Leaving one's homeland to come here to cultivate, what meaning does it have?"
"Isn't it just the same—absorbing cosmic energy and comprehending cosmic laws?"
"The Boundless Continent, sigh..."
He sighed inwardly.
Although the Boundless Continent is a malignant tumor of the main universe, the living beings are innocent.
The more people he kills, the more his benevolent thoughts begin to condemn himself.
Although this condemnation is not serious and does not affect his desire for strength, it does provoke some of his thoughts.
"If I could be like Dao Ancestor Sister's father, becoming the master of the small universe of the Boundless Continent, letting this small universe submit to the main universe, the situation should improve, right?" Xiao Feng thought to himself.
However, this is not easy to achieve; his current realm is still far from sufficient.
