In the ancient hall, on a stone bed for cultivation, Lin Feng sat cross-legged. As the surrounding elemental stones were continuously consumed and the elemental energy absorbed, Lin Feng's eyes opened, ceasing his cultivation.
The path of martial arts does not simply mean continuous cultivation to break through realms. Besides absorbing sufficient natural elemental energy, one's state of mind and understanding must keep pace with the realm in order to break through smoothly.
Lin Feng felt that the natural elemental energy in his body was already sufficient for him to break through to the third level of the Spiritual Martial Realm. What he lacked now was just an opportunity. Once that opportunity arrived, his breakthrough would be natural.
"I seem to have been in this ancient hall for about seven days."
Calculating the time in his mind, Lin Feng stood up, glanced around the ancient hall, and then walked towards the exit.
With Lin Feng's current strength, he couldn't fly, so it was impossible for him to leave through the sheer cliff. He could only use another exit, a dark and narrow passage.
Moreover, in Lin Feng's view, this passage should have been opened by the ancestors of the Cloud Sea Sect. The owner of the ancient hall could not have been leisurely enough to dig such a long passage leading to the Black Wind Ridge.
The ancestors of the Cloud Sea Sect might have intended to use it in times of crisis, but they never expected that this time, the people of the Cloud Sea Sect would not even have a chance to escape. They were all captured in one fell swoop, the sect was slaughtered, and blood flowed like a river.
It took Lin Feng several hours to reach the end of the passage. Here, it was dim and cramped. Standing up, Lin Feng could touch the stones above his head.
Pushing up the stones above his head, Lin Feng crawled out through the crack. The moonlight poured down, falling on Lin Feng, carrying a hint of coolness.
This place was a mountaintop, with broken stones scattered unevenly.
"To place the exit here, indeed safe." Lin Feng secretly admired the subtle thoughts of the person who arranged this exit. This was the Black Wind Ridge, where few people ventured, mostly inhabited by monsters. The monsters in the mountains were huge, and even if they found this opening, they could not enter the ancient hall through such a narrow and small passage.
Moreover, in Lin Feng's opinion, this passage should have been opened by the ancestors of the Cloud Sea Sect. The owner of the ancient hall could not have been leisurely enough to dig such a long passage leading to the Black Wind Ridge.
The ancestors of the Cloud Sea Sect might have intended to use it in times of crisis, but they never expected that this time, the people of the Cloud Sea Sect would not even have a chance to escape. They were all captured in one fell swoop, the sect was slaughtered, and blood flowed like a river.
Lin Feng sat on the stones, looking up at the moon hanging in the sky, a trace of melancholy in his eyes.
Walking alone in a different world, it was so lonely and lonely.
In the past, when he walked out of Yangzhou City, singing on horseback, wielding his sword in the Jianghu, he had never thought that the Jianghu would be so treacherous and bloody.
Of course, no matter how dangerous the future was, he could only hold a three-foot green front, sing to the sky, and poke a hole in the sky.
The cold evening breeze blew, blowing Lin Feng's clothes, but his body sat firmly there, motionless, like a statue.
At this moment, the natural elemental energy around him suddenly fluctuated, flowing towards Lin Feng's body along his limbs and bones, very strangely.
Even Lin Feng himself was unaware, still looking at the moonlight, indifferent, without desire. At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten everything, abandoned everything.
"Hmm?"
After a long time, Lin Feng came back to his senses from his meditation, and couldn't help but stare blankly.
He reached out his hand, and the milky white natural elemental energy rolled in his palm, much richer than before.
"I broke through?"
Lin Feng showed a hint of surprise. He had deliberately cultivated to break through the bottleneck, but unexpectedly, a meditation had actually allowed him to break through. This was probably what was called state of mind and opportunity.
"The third level of the Spiritual Martial Realm, coupled with all my trump cards, now, if I encounter Duan Han again, I should be able to defeat him steadily."
Thinking of Duan Han, a cold look flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. The father and son of the Duan family were the culprits who exterminated the Cloud Sea Sect.
"Who?" Just then, Lin Feng shouted, and his body instantly turned around, his pupils contracting.
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of him, but gave him an unreal feeling.
It was an extremely beautiful figure, with moonlight shining on her, allowing Lin Feng to clearly see her peerless face.
Beautiful, like the beauty in a fairy tale, this figure was dressed in a thin white dress, under the cool moonlight, making people want to pity her and hug her carefully, but without any romantic feelings.
"Too perfect."
Lin Feng's eyes were dull. Even though his willpower was strong enough, he could not help but be moved when he saw this figure. This woman, who had left the worldly smoke, was like a fallen fairy.
Liu Fei was also beautiful, but realistically so.
However, the woman in front of him gave Lin Feng a sense of illusion, so beautiful that it was unbelievable, like a figure in a painting.
"Who are you, and how did you get here?"
This extremely beautiful woman spoke, her voice like music, but it brought Lin Feng back to reality. He had not mistaken her for a painting; she was a real person, just unbelievably beautiful.
"My name is Lin Feng. Where is this place, and how did you appear here?"
Lin Feng asked in confusion. This should be the Black Wind Ridge, and such a beautiful woman appearing here in the middle of the night was puzzling.
However, just now, Lin Feng did not notice her until she walked in. Obviously, this beautiful woman was not as weak as she seemed. Her strength must be quite good.
"Lin Feng!"
The woman murmured, repeating Lin Feng's name, then said, "I have always lived here, but you, coming here and asking me where this is?"
"I don't even know how I got here."
Lin Feng shrugged, feeling somewhat helpless. Even he might not believe it himself if he said it, but it was true.
"In that case, you should leave quickly." The woman said indifferently.
"But I don't even know where I am or how to leave." Lin Feng smiled bitterly. Coming out of the passage in the ancient hall, he had no idea where he was now.
"Is this the Black Wind Ridge?"
Lin Feng asked.
The woman looked at Lin Feng again. He didn't even know if this was the Black Wind Ridge?
"Yes, and it's in the depths of the Black Wind Ridge."
"..." Lin Feng was stunned. The depths of the Black Wind Ridge?
"Bei Lao definitely hasn't taken this passage before."
Lin Feng smiled bitterly. There were many powerful monsters outside the Black Wind Ridge, and in the depths, monsters were rampant. It was not easy for him to get out.
If the old man knew about this situation, he might not throw Lin Feng out of the ancient hall and let him come out through the passage.
"You said you have always lived here?" Lin Feng suddenly remembered what the beautiful woman had said, his eyes narrowed. Someone else lived in the depths of the Black Wind Ridge?
"Yes, I have been living here with my mother since I was a child." The woman nodded.
"Have you ever been out?" Lin Feng asked.
"No."
"..." Lin Feng didn't know what to say. If such a monster went out, it would probably cause a lot of trouble. Women have always been unlucky, let alone such a beautiful woman.
"Perhaps her mother is as beautiful as she is, so she lives in seclusion here."
Lin Feng speculated silently, and asked, "Are there no monsters nearby?"
"No." The woman shook her head again.
Lin Feng nodded slightly. It was not surprising that she had been able to live here for so long without any monsters. In such a large Black Wind Ridge, it was normal for there to be a place without monsters.
"Do you want to leave?" The woman suddenly asked Lin Feng, her eyes flashing with a strange expression.
"Of course, I'm planning to leave early tomorrow morning."
"I want to go in the direction of the Cloud Sea Sect. Do you know the way?" Lin Feng nodded, standing up and saying.
"I know. I know everything about the Black Wind Ridge and its surroundings, but once we leave the Black Wind Ridge area, I know nothing."
The woman's reply was still so straightforward, seemingly without any ulterior motives.
