Chapter 55

In the midst of the flashing light, Lin Feng rode the Black Cloud Banner and actually rushed into a different dimensional space.

The space was shrouded in mist, a chaotic and indistinct expanse.

As the mist dissipated, what came into view was an endless void, desolate and vast, with occasional flashes of light in the darkness, though the distance from Lin Feng was unknown.

Lin Feng was filled with shock and doubt: "What place is this?" Just as he was puzzled, a vast aura of power spread around and continued to expand.

The void suddenly tore apart, and Lin Feng's eyes were once again filled with blinding light. When his vision returned to normal, he had already returned to the Tianyuan Great World, and his position was still on the route he had been flying.

"Was I just accidentally swept into that void?" Lin Feng pondered. As he turned around, a face suddenly appeared before his eyes.

This was an elderly man with a tall and robust figure, broad face, and large ears, exuding a sense of authority. He was staring at Lin Feng, his expression extremely puzzled.

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, recalling the vast power fluctuations he had sensed in the void.

Whether it was Li Elder of the Li Huo Sword Sect or Liu Yang of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, although their power was formidable and fierce, it was nothing compared to the tall and robust old man before him.

Lin Feng had a guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to think further, as it would completely rob him of his courage.

The tall and robust old man then spoke, his voice like rolling thunder: "I am Pubeizi of the Xuandao Sect. Who are you?"

"Xuandao Sect?" Lin Feng had no impression of it, but after checking the system, he learned that it was a sect in the southern border of the Great Qin Dynasty, with the highest cultivation level being the Yuanying stage.

Without a powerful Yuan Shen cultivator, this sect could not be compared to the three major holy lands or the Jiutian Sword Alliance. However, with a Yuanying-stage elder, it was still a well-known sect in the southern border of the Great Qin, with its headquarters located near the Xingluo Ancient Domain, the boundary between the human and demon worlds.

While checking the information, Lin Feng said, "I am a wandering cultivator. You may call me Daoist Lin." Before Pubeizi could speak again, Lin Feng preemptively asked, "It seems you are injured, Daoist friend?"

Pubeizi did not answer, but continued to scrutinize Lin Feng for a while, still unable to discern his cultivation level.

Under the intense pressure from the other side, Lin Feng felt like a small boat in a storm, with wave after wave threatening to engulf him at any moment.

Not to mention counterattacking, even without the other side making a move, Lin Feng could not withstand the mental pressure for long.

Fortunately, after a long time of probing, Pubeizi could not discern Lin Feng's cultivation level and thus reined in his power. Lin Feng felt much better.

"Indeed, I was injured in the Void Battlefield, but it's not serious. I can recover after a period of seclusion." A faint green aura flickered on Pubeizi's face, clearly indicating that he had been invaded by ice-based power.

Lin Feng's heart stirred: "Void Battlefield?" It seemed that the void world he had accidentally entered was the Void Battlefield.

Lin Feng had heard of the Void Battlefield, an independent dimensional space outside the Tianyuan Great World, suspended in the sky, vast and extensive. Although powerful human cultivators have been exploring it, many areas of the Void Battlefield remain unknown.

The Void Battlefield contains many rare cultivation resources that are scarce in the Tianyuan Great World, but it is extremely unstable and dangerous, with chaotic spatial currents. Even cultivators at the Golden Core stage face a high risk of death when entering.

Therefore, only cultivators at the Yuanying or Yuan Shen stages usually enter to seek treasures. Even so, the unknown dangers and mutual attacks have led to the demise of many powerful cultivators in that void.

Incidentally, the old village chief of Stone Village once mentioned that the father and grandfather of Xiaobudian often entered the Void Battlefield. It was because his grandfather went missing in the Void Battlefield that his parents went to rescue him, leading to Xiaobudian's great misfortune.

The old ancestor Pubeizi of the Xuandao Sect was clearly one of those who entered the Void Battlefield, but he suffered a setback there.

Lin Feng said nonchalantly, "Void Battlefield? Although it is risky, I imagine you must have gained a lot."

Pubeizi snorted, "More than just risky? The old ancestor of the Hengyue Sect, who entered with me, was directly killed inside. If you hadn't suddenly intruded and disrupted the void, allowing me to tear open a crack, I might have lost my life as well."

Lin Feng thought for a moment and took out the Nine-Revolution Flame Soul Pill he had won in the lottery: "Meeting is a matter of fate. I see that your injury is caused by ice-based power. Although you can heal yourself with your power, it will undoubtedly waste a lot of time."

"I happen to have a Nine-Revolution Flame Soul Pill, which is highly effective for such injuries. I will give it to you."

Pubeizi was greatly surprised. He didn't even need to take the pill to know that Lin Feng was telling the truth, and he was very puzzled: "Why are you giving it to me?" Despite his words, the old man was quite domineering and unceremoniously grabbed the pill.

Lin Feng smiled faintly, "I wanted to give it to you, so I did. Why so many questions?"

Pubeizi's eyes flashed, and he laughed heartily, "I was being too fussy. Fine, I will owe you this favor. If you have time, you are welcome to visit my Xuandao Sect."

Lin Feng smiled, "We'll see when I have time." With that, he turned and left. Pubeizi, eager to take the pill to heal his injuries, did not detain him further.

Although he didn't know how much it would help, Lin Feng was very pleased that a pill he couldn't use could earn him a good relationship with a Yuanying-stage elder.

Returning to where his three disciples were, he found them chatting animatedly.

Lin Feng asked, "What are you talking about so happily?"

Xiaobudian laughed, "Master, we just heard a strange story. There's a sect nearby called the Hengyue Sect. A few days ago, they opened their gates to recruit disciples. A young man failed the test and couldn't enter, so he jumped off a cliff on Hengyue Mountain to commit suicide."

"He didn't succeed in his suicide and was saved by the Hengyue Sect. They are said to be breaking the rules to take him as a nominal disciple."

Zhu Yi sighed, "He is quite determined and has a strong character. At least he achieved his goal, so it wasn't all for nothing."

Xiao Yan shook his head, "Even if he is accepted, what can he do? The elders of the sect, to avoid the reputation of forcing someone to death, will not teach him carefully, and his fellow disciples will mock him for entering through suicide."

Zhu Yi said, "Self-improvement is commendable, but I hope he can persist. Otherwise, the pressure will only increase."

Lin Feng initially listened to the story, but as he listened, he suddenly felt something was off: "This kid, why does he seem like a protagonist from a wuxia novel, a typical underdog?"

Lin Feng asked, "You said the Hengyue Sect has already taken him in?"

The three disciples nodded together, "They just brought him back to the sect."

Lin Feng didn't say more, but immediately took the three disciples to the Hengyue Sect, his mind racing: "I must catch up. If I miss this, who will I cry to?"
