Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#405 - The Ancestor of Divine Thoughts

Li Chengfeng nodded. He knew better than to completely trust the old guy's words, but he acknowledged the truth in them—the Spirit Realm was indeed a world where countless races coexisted.

To carve out a bloody path there, one had to possess extraordinary strength.

With Nine Mystic Ancestor's cultivation at the Transformation Spirit stage, rushing there would only be in vain.

Therefore, he had to find another way, studying restrictions to ensure the peace of the Mortal Realm.

After careful consideration, he realized that the key to ascending to the upper realm was to increase his strength.

In a world where Transformation Spirit cultivators were as common as dogs, only true power could allow one to gain a foothold.

The Spirit Realm, that broader stage, was his goal for accumulating strength and unleashing it.

He prepared thoroughly, hoping that when he arrived there, he would have the strength to protect himself.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, nodding in agreement.

Li Chengfeng reached out, using the power of rune seals to firmly seal the aura of death and decay within the treasure, lest it harm him.

Then, with a thought, he put the treasure into his storage bag.

Seeing this, the old monster couldn't help but be surprised by Li Chengfeng's growth. He hadn't expected the other party to have already learned the Heaven and Earth Self-Sealing technique.

The old monster cackled and said, "Not bad, not bad at all. Nine Mystic Ancestor's famous sealing technique, 'Heaven and Earth Self-Sealing,' without it, how could the Ghost Qi Spring be sealed?

You've actually been able to comprehend it thoroughly, which shows that you have extraordinary talent in the art of restrictions."

As he spoke, he moved his mind again, and a jade slip flew towards Li Chengfeng with a whoosh.

Li Chengfeng raised an eyebrow, took the jade slip, and carefully examined it with his spiritual sense, discovering that it contained Nine Mystic Ancestor's cultivation insights, especially profound insights on restrictions.

Nine Mystic Ancestor had once forged the Nine Mystic Dragon Array and made great achievements in the study of arrays and restrictions. These valuable experiences were condensed in this jade slip.

Li Chengfeng read it carefully and quickly grasped the essence of it.

He knew that the art of restrictions was profound and complex, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to master it in their lifetime.

However, with his extraordinary talent in cultivation techniques and his soul power, which had been honed through countless trials, he could quickly understand and master these complex laws.

He nodded with satisfaction, put away the jade slip, and said gratefully, "Senior, you've been very kind to give me this treasure."

Hearing this, the old monster's heart skipped a beat.

He realized that Li Chengfeng had seen through his intentions and understood that he had to be careful when dealing with such a person.

He sighed inwardly, knowing that it was almost impossible to scheme against such a person, and instead had to be constantly on guard against being schemed against by him.

Li Chengfeng took the jade slip, secretly calculating in his heart that this trip was finally fruitful. He smiled slightly and said,

"Let's get down to business. Next, we should talk about cooperation."

The strange man laughed and said, "Hahaha, not bad, you suit my taste very well.

My request is very simple. When you are strong enough, you must break the restrictions here and save me.

I will definitely bring unexpected benefits to my little friend. I once helped Nine Mystic Ancestor break through to the Transformation Spirit Realm and helped him ascend,

but after that, he changed his mind. That was his business and has nothing to do with me.

Little friend, as long as you unlock the restrictions here, I will treat you as I treated Nine Mystic Ancestor. I can make a Heavenly Dao oath."

Hearing this, Li Chengfeng responded with a smile, "It doesn't matter. When I advance to the Transformation Spirit stage, I will definitely unlock Senior's imprisonment.

But Senior, shouldn't you give me some benefits first? It's so dangerous outside, isn't Senior afraid that something might happen to me?"

The strange man nodded in understanding, "I understand what you mean. You just want some benefits, right? Tell me, what do you want? Magic weapons or cultivation techniques?"

He smiled frankly, "Only children make choices. I want them all.

I especially want the eggs of the Gold Devouring Bugs, and some other strange insects would be good too.

This is just a matter of lifting a finger for Senior."

The strange man laughed and said, "You're really greedy. But,"

He wasn't angry. With a thought, his divine sense transformed into a large hand, and with a flick of his finger, two insect eggs flew out, "This one is the original egg of the Gold Devouring Bug, which is the key to cultivating even more powerful Gold Devouring Bugs. Study the other one slowly!"

Li Chengfeng waved his hand and caught the Gold Devouring Bug egg, sealing it. Then, another insect egg flew over and landed in his hand.

This insect egg emitted a scorching heat and was actually a fire-type spirit insect.

He probed with his divine sense and found that this flame was extraordinary, sometimes real and sometimes illusory, unlike ordinary fire. It seemed to be able to ignite the fire in people's hearts.

Li Chengfeng held the strange insect egg in his hands, his eyes flashing with curiosity and confusion,

He respectfully asked the senior, "Senior, what kind of strange insect egg is this after all?"

"It originated from the body of an ancient demon and parasitized within it. It was like how I used to accompany him in the past, tempering myself with my own will until I reached the realm of transcendence and holiness.

And this egg, after years of time, still appears weak. I have tried all kinds of methods, but I have not been able to make it hatch. It seems that with the changes of the times, the mystery of its hatching is no longer something I can solve.

I now give it to you, hoping that you can get its opportunity."

The corners of Li Chengfeng's mouth curled into a faint smile, as if he had endless emotion towards the past of this insect egg.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the insect egg turned into a stream of light and was skillfully sealed.

Li Chengfeng was not in a hurry to investigate. He was secretly vigilant, knowing that there might be hidden secrets and trials behind this.

"Senior is generous, and I am very grateful. But if there really are strange methods as Senior said, I will not be careless."

Li Chengfeng's words were sincere, and at the same time, the spiritual power in his body surged, preparing to deal with possible accidents.

However, the strange man just smiled indifferently, as if everything was under his control.

Suddenly, a vast spiritual power poured out from the strange man's body, accompanied by a dazzling array of magic weapons and cultivation techniques, like a galaxy pouring down, heading straight for Li Chengfeng.

Although these cultivation techniques were all top choices, they were disorganized. For Li Chengfeng, they were like chicken ribs, difficult to directly absorb.

However, the few rare treasures mixed in with them made his eyes light up, and he gladly accepted them.

"Little friend, all that I can give has been offered.

I hope you can keep your promise and live up to what I have entrusted."

The senior's voice carried a bit of expectation.

"Senior, rest assured, I have always kept my word and will not let Senior down. I don't know what Senior is called."

Li Chengfeng responded with a smile, his eyes flashing with determination.

"As for this old man's name, you can call me Divine Sense Ancestor.

So, little friend, what is your name?"

Divine Sense Ancestor changed the subject and asked Li Chengfeng's name.

Li Chengfeng's heart stirred slightly, but his face remained calm. He smiled slightly and said, "I am Cao Cao, nice to meet you, Senior Divine Sense Ancestor."

He cleverly used a name from a distant world to conceal his true identity and avoid unnecessary trouble.

Hearing this, Divine Sense Ancestor nodded slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with the name "Cao Cao," and praised, "Cao Cao, a good name, domineering and extraordinary."

Afterwards, Li Chengfeng changed the subject and made his request: "Senior, I am so bold as to want to study the restriction that seals you, so that I can have a better understanding and perhaps be of some help in the future."

Hearing this, Divine Sense Ancestor was not angry, but instead readily agreed, "You can do it as you please. This old man will not only not blame you, but will also help you."

So, Li Chengfeng slowly paced around the seal, silently chanting the magic formula in his heart. His spiritual sense instantly transformed into thousands, like drizzle, falling on the seal.

These spiritual senses quickly merged into every subtle part of the seal, transforming into countless runes, weaving into a complex and mysterious network.

With the experience from last time, Li Chengfeng was more comfortable with this research.

He knew that although this restriction was strong, it had not given birth to intelligence. Otherwise, with Divine Sense Ancestor's methods, how could he have been trapped until now?

"Nine Mystic Ancestor was visionary, and I am amazed by the ingenuity of this restriction," Li Chengfeng said sincerely as he studied.

Divine Sense Ancestor smiled silently on the side, his eyes flashing with satisfaction and expectation.
