The Heavenly Dragon's Beginning in the Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 163 Using a Clever Method to Break the Formation: The Guardian Beast Yellow Bird

Upon closer reflection, it's possible that it's not that no one is aware of this place's existence, but rather that the mysterious light barrier makes it difficult for anyone to enter.

However, those who were fortunate enough to know about this place may have been driven by selfish desires, wanting to monopolize this Heavenly Emperor's treasure trove, and thus chose to remain silent and keep it a secret after leaving.

As time passed, those who knew of this place gradually gave up the idea of ​​trying to break in. For this reason, this Heavenly Emperor's Treasury remained unknown to the outside world until it was revealed.

Despite being blocked by that transparent light barrier, Ling Feng was determined not to give up easily.

After all, what it contained was of great significance to him, and could be considered of utmost importance.

More importantly, there is still a system task that he needs to complete.

It should be noted that the rewards bestowed upon him by the system along the way were of great importance to him. Unless absolutely necessary, Ling Feng would never easily give up any opportunity to complete the system's tasks.

However, the most urgent task, if we want to successfully enter, is to break through the seemingly indestructible transparent light barrier in front of us.

However, this transparent light curtain really made Ling Feng feel quite troubled.

It should be known that this Heavenly Emperor's Treasury has survived here safely for so long, and this mysterious light curtain has been studied and pondered by countless predecessors and masters.

However, faced with such a predicament, even those senior experts were helpless, and Ling Feng was no exception.

Now that he had confirmed that the light barrier posed no danger, Ling Feng decided to get closer and take a closer look.

Unfortunately, he knew absolutely nothing about formations, and even after staring at them for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Ling Feng stared at the transparent light screen before him, a feeling of endless melancholy welling up in his heart.

Could it be that I will have to return empty-handed this time as well?

However, Ling Feng was truly unwilling to give up the incomparably precious divine medicine and Heavenly Emperor's Nether Stone so easily.

Although they could wait until the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury opened before fighting for it, there was no guarantee that nothing would go wrong in the meantime.

Just as Ling Feng was staring blankly at the transparent light screen, suddenly, as if struck by a sudden enlightenment, a flash of inspiration swept through his mind.

Although Ling Feng knew nothing about the art of array formation, there seemed to be a shortcut he could try – that was the Devouring Heaven Demon Art he had been practicing.

It should be noted that this technique is extremely powerful and domineering. It can not only absorb external energy, but also devour and refine the essence of all things to enhance one's own cultivation.

However, the enormous array before us could not have appeared out of nowhere; it must have been supported by some source of energy.

Since that's the case, Ling Feng couldn't help but ponder to himself:

Is it possible for me to draw upon this valuable energy?

The thought flashed through my mind, and I immediately put it into action!

Without hesitation, Ling Feng stretched out his hands and carefully touched the seemingly fragile yet incredibly resilient transparent light screen.

The moment my finger touched the light screen, a wonderful sensation welled up inside me—as if I were touching a thin membrane, which trembled slightly and rippled outwards.

Ling Feng remained calm and immediately unleashed the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art" in an attempt to absorb the powerful energy contained within it.

To his ecstatic delight, it turned out that his idea was absolutely correct!

A continuous stream of pure energy flowed into his body through his hands, like an unstoppable torrent.

Even more astonishing is that the absorbed energy is exceptionally concentrated, with an astonishingly high purity.

What's even more remarkable is that they seem to be inexhaustible.

As time went by, Ling Feng clearly felt that his cultivation of the "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique" had been greatly improved, and the bottleneck that was originally difficult to break through had now become easy.

The colossal particles symbolizing power emerged like mushrooms after rain, their numbers increasing and their strength growing ever stronger.

Faced with such an amazing harvest, Ling Feng was naturally overjoyed, but at the same time, a trace of worry arose.

He sincerely hoped that this mysterious transparent light curtain could last a little longer and not be drained away too soon.

After all, this place was the ideal cultivation ground he had always dreamed of, not only because the environment was safe and secure, but also because it had an inexhaustible supply of energy.

And so, day after day, moonrise and sunset, Ling Feng was completely absorbed in this exhilarating cultivation, which lasted for seven days.

What is truly astonishing is that even after such a long period of frantic absorption, the transparent light screen is still brimming with immense energy, showing no signs of waning.

During this period, every evening at dusk, when the afterglow of the setting sun falls on the place above the stone gate where large characters are carved, it seems as if a magical power is awakened, and the stone gate will slowly open on time.

Witnessing this scene, Ling Feng felt a mix of emotions.

On the one hand, he was overjoyed because this wonderful phenomenon meant that he could simultaneously cultivate and break the formation, with the two complementing each other.

On the other hand, what troubles him is that the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury is right in front of him, within reach, yet he is still unable to take a single step into it.

However, what Ling Feng was unaware of was that this massive formation was meticulously set up by a peerless master using rare treasures—top-grade spirit stones.

Although the energy of these top-grade spirit stones has gradually been depleted, for Ling Feng, this is undoubtedly an unprecedented feast.

In just the past seven days, the energy he has absorbed has exceeded expectations, and the total amount is comparable to what he gained from absorbing tens of thousands of powerful demonic beasts with the Refining Spirit Returning to Emptiness realm!

More importantly, this energy intake process was completely risk-free, making it a perfect "nourishment" experience.

Such a stroke of good fortune made Ling Feng so excited that he almost lost his sense of direction.

In the days that followed, Ling Feng engaged in a protracted battle with that transparent light barrier.

He focused intently and persistently on absorbing the energy that continuously emerged from the surface of the light curtain.

Time flies, and another seven days have passed. Finally, the once dazzling light screen began to dim.

Seeing the light screen before him, which had been completely still and stagnant like a pool of still water, finally begin to change slightly, Ling Feng couldn't help but feel secretly delighted:

"Finally, I see hope!"

Actually, staying here and focusing on cultivation is not a bad idea.

After all, in just over twenty days, by continuously absorbing energy and diligently cultivating, he had successfully broken through to the eighth level of the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm.

However, when it comes to improving his own strength, Ling Feng still hopes to retrieve the treasures from the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury as soon as possible.

It should be noted that, for him, he can improve his strength no matter where he is;

However, once the rare treasures such as the divine medicine and the Heavenly Emperor's Netherworld Stone in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury are missed, it may be difficult to find such a good opportunity again in the future.

At this moment, seeing the light on the screen gradually dim, Ling Feng became even more energetic and began to absorb the surrounding energy with all his might.

However, to Ling Feng's surprise, despite witnessing the light gradually weakening, after seven consecutive days of tireless and frantic energy absorption, the seemingly fragile transparent light screen remained as sturdy as ever, without disappearing. Only its light dimmed slightly.

Ling Feng clearly remembered that, according to the original text, this formation would collapse on its own soon due to energy depletion.

The current situation was truly beyond his expectations.

It should be noted that at this moment, the energy barrier is already on the verge of exhaustion, with very little energy remaining.

However, even with such meager energy, it took Ling Feng a whole month to fully absorb it!

If time were to rewind to a point when energy was abundant, then Ling Feng's attempt to break the formation in this way would undoubtedly be nothing short of delusional and wishful thinking.

Fortunately, after Ling Feng's persistent and continuous struggle, three days later, in the afternoon, the transparent light curtain that was originally as solid as a rock finally dissipated with a crisp and pleasant cracking sound.

When the light curtain completely dissipated, Ling Feng's own strength had also successfully broken through to the ninth level of the Refining Spirit Returning to Emptiness realm.

Regardless of any other gains, Ling Feng's trip to the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury was incredibly fruitful, especially considering his rapid improvement in strength.

Fortunately, the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique that Ling Feng practiced was extraordinary, so there was no risk of him going into qi deviation due to his rapid increase in strength.

Otherwise, with Ling Feng's radical cultivation method, he would probably have already gone mad.

Although the light barrier in front of him had shattered, Ling Feng was still unable to immediately step into the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.

The reason is simple: there is a stone gate blocking the way, and we have not yet reached the point where the gate will open.

Fortunately, the stone gate opens on time every day, so Ling Feng was not in a hurry and planned to enter after the stone gate opened.

However, to Ling Feng's surprise, just as he successfully broke through the light barrier, an uninvited guest arrived.

The newcomer was a giant bird with wingspans large enough to blot out the sky, its entire body shimmering with dazzling golden light.

Ling Feng glanced at it and immediately understood: this bird must be the yellow bird that fought fiercely with the Black Water Serpent in the original story.

However, Ling Feng couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that this yellow bird has been waiting here all along?

Otherwise, why would the yellow bird appear here so quickly after I broke the formation?

Moreover, when the yellow bird rushed over, it didn't even exchange a single unnecessary word with Ling Feng before launching a fierce attack without hesitation.

With his keen perception, Ling Feng had already discerned the level of strength possessed by this yellow bird—it was only at the fourth level of the Refining Spirit Returning to Emptiness realm.

It should be noted that any one of the nine demonic beast overlords surrounding Ling Feng at this moment possesses the powerful ability to easily deal with such an opponent.

Now that the situation is so clear, Ling Feng will naturally not tolerate the arrogance and despicable behavior of the yellow bird.

He decisively issued the order, commanding the nine demon beast overlords to attack together.

After all, since the other party has made it clear that they are coming to provoke trouble, Ling Feng doesn't need to adhere to any so-called code of honor or moral principles. The most efficient and convenient tactic is to directly use a group attack.

Despite its considerable strength, when it encountered nine equally matched rivals, it was as if it were stuck in a quagmire, unable to break free of its restraints and was quickly and completely subdued before it could even make a ripple.

Regardless, the other party was ultimately a powerful demon beast at the Refining Spirit Returning to Emptiness realm, which rekindled Ling Feng's desire to bring it under his command.

After all, since stepping into this vast world, Ling Feng has always wandered alone, without close friends by his side or reliable allies to support and assist him.

If one were to lead a group of powerful pets to fight alongside others in the future, the scene would surely be extremely spectacular, awe-inspiring, and majestic.

Moreover, these pets are loyal because they have chosen their master, so Ling Feng has no need to worry that they will betray him in the face of battle.

After making up his mind, Ling Feng concentrated and used a special method to transmit his innermost thoughts to the yellow bird, which was surrounded by nine incredibly powerful and aggressive demonic beast overlords.

At this moment, the yellow bird looked somewhat disheveled, but when it received Ling Feng's request, it agreed without hesitation after only a slight hesitation.

You must know that the nine overlords of the demon beasts were staring at it with fierce eyes, as if they would pounce on it and tear it to pieces at any moment. Under such enormous pressure, how could the yellow bird dare to say a single "no"?

After a series of complex and mysterious operations, Huang Niao finally became a powerful general in Ling Feng's massive pet army.

At the same time, Ling Feng also learned some important information through his communication with the yellow bird:

It turns out that this yellow bird was originally the guardian beast of this Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, and had been cultivating diligently in the deadly swamp filled with danger and mystery for a long time.

Therefore, when Ling Feng broke through that incredibly strong formation that day, the yellow bird immediately sensed it and rushed to the scene.

However, Huang Niao claimed to know nothing about what rare treasures or earth-shattering secrets were hidden in this Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.

Moreover, the yellow bird was completely baffled as to why it had become the guardian beast of this Heavenly Emperor's treasure trove. It only remembered that there seemed to be such a vague instruction in its mind.

Now that he had thoroughly understood the cause and effect and details of the whole matter, Ling Feng decided not to dwell on it too much.

At this moment, no obstacle could stop him from moving forward. He only needed to patiently wait for the mysterious stone gate in front of him to slowly open, and then he could step into the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury to find out what was inside.

However, Ling Feng was completely unaware that just as he successfully broke the strange formation, not only did the Yellow Bird instantly sense this unusual fluctuation.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xiaohuan, who was traveling to Heyang City with Zhou Yixian, also experienced a strange telepathic connection.

After calming down and carefully sensing the sensations, Zhou Xiaohuan suddenly broke into a joyful smile. She looked intently at Zhou Yixian beside her and excitedly exclaimed:

"Grandpa, do you know what? I feel like the invisible shackles that have always bound me have suddenly disappeared without a trace!"

Upon hearing his granddaughter's words, Zhou Yixian's eyes widened in astonishment, and he muttered to himself:

"Uh... Could it be that that kid actually did it!"

Clearly, Zhou Yixian was filled with disbelief and shock upon hearing the astonishing news from Xiao Huan.

You should know that when he revealed the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury to Ling Feng, he was just trying his luck.

To his utter surprise, Ling Feng actually overcame such difficulties and obstacles on his own and successfully completed this seemingly impossible task.
