Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Hearing Sikong Mo's words, thick with threat, Yuh Zi'ang and the others all wore faces full of worry.

Jingping said, "Everyone, there's no need to worry. During the newcomer disciple assessment of the Twelve Peaks, the elders of the Peaks will be on site to watch the battle. With so many high-ranking members present, they will know to restrain themselves."

Hearing Jingping's words, Yuh Zi'ang and the others' pale faces slightly recovered.

Only then did Jingping turn to Lin Feng and the old drunkard, saying, "The two junior brothers have just joined the sect. Sometimes, it's necessary to give way, after all, if something really does happen, we from Heavenly Repair Peak would also find it difficult to protect you."

Lin Feng asked, "Senior brother, have you ever heard of the Heart Hunting Grass?"

Jingping was slightly startled, not understanding why Lin Feng would ask such a question, and then he shook his head, saying, "I have not."

Lin Feng said, "The Heart Hunting Grass lives among the Devil Vines. Senior brother must have heard of the Devil Vine, an extremely terrifying plant that devours all beings, whether they're human, beast, or even flowers, grass, and trees. The Devil Vine consumes them all."

Jingping nodded. Although he was not an alchemist, he had heard of the notorious Devil Vine.

Lin Feng continued, "The Heart Hunting Grass grows in the area covered by the Devil Vine. Such a living environment is incredibly harsh. At first, like other plants, creatures, and even human cultivators, the Heart Hunting Grass was often swallowed by the Devil Vine. But within this difficult environment for survival, the Heart Hunting Grass underwent its own transformation. That is, to fight back. The Devil Vine has its weaknesses. It appears strong, but it roots in the stones. The vine contains a deadly poison, but its roots do not. Thus, the Heart Hunting Grass struggled to grow its own roots, continuously burrowing into the rock, and eventually rooted itself within the Devil Vine's roots, drawing energy from the Devil Vine. Should the Devil Vine dare to hurt the Heart Hunting Grass, the Heart Hunting Grass could use its roots to strangle the root of the Devil Vine within a few breaths."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, not only did Jingping reflect deeply, but so did Yuh Zi'ang, Fan Chen, and the others.

Lin Feng went on to say, "Life is hard. The Azure Cloud Twelve Peaks may seem to live in harmony, but undercurrents surge beneath. Our Heavenly Repair Peak is in a precarious position, even in danger of being disbanded. Do we choose to be an ordinary plant or fierce beast devoured by the Devil Vine, or do we choose to be like the Heart Hunting Grass, which refuses to bow to fate and instead continues to grow stronger? Constant evasion will only bolster the Devil Vine's arrogance. A decisive counterattack is needed to quell its haughtiness and make it behave, not daring to offend the Heart Hunting Grass lightly."

Jingping looked at Lin Feng in surprise.

Lin Feng's "Heart Hunting Grass story" deeply shook Jingping's heart. For the first time in over a decade, the idea of rebellion sprang up in his mind.

Jingping was startled by this thought in his mind. He tried to find reasons to persuade Lin Feng but realized he could find none to dissuade the disciple who had just joined Heavenly Repair Peak. Moreover, his own heart was stirring, seemingly convinced by the new disciple's words.

Jingping sighed inwardly. Who would choose a life of humiliation if they could live with dignity? Perhaps time would smooth out this junior brother's sharp edges, he wondered.

Jingping, usually a man of few words with a calm demeanor, suddenly found he quite liked Junior Brother Lin Feng's aggressive nature. Now he was even afraid of seeing Lin Feng eventually worn down by harsh realities, just like many disciples of Heavenly Repair Peak—without passion, living rote day-to-day lives, almost like the walking dead, without hope. Although Jingping did not want to use such an ugly term as "walking dead" to describe his junior brothers and sisters.

Suddenly, Jingping grew agitated, unsure if it was from thinking about Lin Feng's edges being worn down in time, or from recalling the humiliation Heavenly Repair Peak had endured from the other Peaks for so many years. Eventually, Jingping felt enveloped by deep powerlessness. Heavenly Repair Peak had really fallen into decline. Other Peaks, at the very least, had four or five Yin Yang Realm elders; some even had as many as ten. But Heavenly Repair Peak had only one elder quietly guarding the Peak alongside the Peak Master.

The other Peaks—each and every one of them had geniuses in the Yin Yang Realm. But the strongest in Heavenly Repair Peak was himself, at merely the Tenth Level of Martial King Realm. And Jingping knew his own talent; his current cultivation was already at its limit. He knew he would never break through to the Yin Yang Realm. Such was the state of Heavenly Repair Peak.

In the eyes of others, Heavenly Repair Peak had become insignificant. Jingping sighed and said to Lin Feng, "Junior brother, you may go and receive the sect's benefits."

Dragging his somewhat heavy footsteps, Jingping walked away into the distance. His heart felt suddenly bleak. He thought of the Peak Master, of Heavenly Repair Peak, of times past, and could only mutter a sigh—would Heavenly Repair Peak truly be removed?

The days that followed were very peaceful, as Lin Feng and the others practiced in an orderly fashion. A month later, Lin Feng planned to attempt to break through to the ninth level of the Martial General Realm. He felt that it was time for the breakthrough.

Lin Feng set up a Spirit Gathering Array in his room, then heaped up a dense pile of Spirit Stones. He sat cross-legged and began to circulate the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique.

Instantly, the pure energy contained within the Spirit Stones surged out rapidly. Because of the Spirit Gathering Array, this energy did not dissipate.

That formidable energy flooded into Lin Feng's body.

Under the transformation of the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique, it all became pure Ancient Dragon Elephant Power, which then merged with his True Qi. Lin Feng's True Qi was transforming rapidly.

A "rumble" resonated from within Lin Feng's body as the river of True Qi raged.

No one knew how much time had passed.

Lin Feng only felt the strength within his body crazily increasing.

"Breakthrough."

A trace of joy appeared on Lin Feng's face.

He had finally broken through, from the Eighth Layer Heaven of the Martial General Realm to the ninth level, and his own strength had also risen from 78,125 Dragon Elephant Power to 390,625 Dragon Elephant Power. The five Devouring Martial Souls operated, once again enhancing the combat power by five times. Lin Feng's strength could reach 1,953,125 Dragon Elephant Power.

One Dragon Elephant Power is Ten Dragons Power, so Lin Feng's strength was then an astonishing 19,531,250 Dragon Giant Force.

This strength was simply too terrifying. Now, just by moving a finger, Lin Feng could crush a cultivator at the tenth level of the Martial General Realm.

With all his various methods at play, he could even sweep through ordinary cultivators in the Martial King Realm.

Of course, if he encountered a cultivator who, like Lin Feng, possessed fearsome combat power and the ability to challenge those beyond his level, it would be a different story.

Just like Sikong Mo, he was very formidable, especially his Martial Soul. Once the Three Thousand Ruoshui was used, there probably weren't many beneath the Yin Yang Realm who dared to say they could defeat Sikong Mo.

"Not bad, you've actually broken through to the ninth level of the Martial General Realm."

At that moment, a voice reached Lin Feng's ears.

This was the technique of Sound Transmission. Upon hearing this voice, Lin Feng showed a look of surprise and joy.

The Fire Kirin! It was the voice of the Fire Kirin!
