Chapter 137: Delving into the Celestial Mansion, Refining the Mark!
“Whoo…”
Lin Feng took a deep breath, stretching his bones. He could clearly feel the changes; after opening the Heavenly Pool Palace, his body underwent a tremendous transformation. The Heavenly Pool Palace was truly the ancestral palace of body enhancement.
Previously, many big names from various celestial mansions claimed he had already opened three great ancestral palaces, but that was just a rumor. In reality, while Lin Feng had a strong physique, he had only partially opened the Heavenly Pool Palace—until last night when a massive amount of chaotic spirit milk helped him fully open it!
The three major ancestral palaces of the human body are: the Mud Ball Palace, the Qi Sea Palace, and the Heavenly Pool Palace.
The Mud Ball Palace governs life force. Once it’s opened, the body will burst with life, and with the exclusive Mud Ball secret techniques, one can achieve the effect of rebirth through bl**d.
The Qi Sea Palace enhances magical power. Among cultivators at this level, anyone who opens the Qi Sea Palace is virtually unbeatable!
And then there’s the Heavenly Pool Palace! It enhances the physical body’s defense. It’s so freakishly powerful that once it’s opened, the body rivals that of ethereal beasts, boasting unparalleled defense!
However, throughout history, only a scant few have been able to open all three ancestral palaces at once.
It’s not that no one has tried… It’s just that doing so requires extremely rigorous standards for the cultivator’s foundation and the strength of their body. Even Lin Feng, only succeeded in fully opening the Heavenly Pool Palace after being nourished by so much chaotic spirit milk. Just imagine how difficult it was!
At this moment, Ye Qingge shot him a glare and said, “Hurry up and put on some clothes, this isn’t a place for strutting around n*ked!”
“When are you planning to mill around?”
“Hmph, annoy me, and I’ll turn you into a little eunuch!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere turned a bit awkward. Yuan Ruoyu, Qing Dai, and the Purple Paulownia Great Emperor exchanged glances, their expressions were a mix of strange amusement and stifled laughter.
They’d just discovered Ye Qingge had such a wild side—she sure knew how to say anything.
She huffed again but didn’t care much, after all, they were in the celestial mansion, and there was no one else around to see…
“Haha!”
“I almost forgotten, it’s quite breezy!” Lin Feng chuckled nonchalantly, calmly pulling out clothes from his storage ring and putting them on.
A set of white clothing really suited him. For high-level cultivators, clothes are crafted from precious materials and are unlikely to get damaged easily.
After recently opening the Heavenly Pool Palace, the burst of power had been astonishing. Now, clad in clothes, Lin Feng shot Ye Qingge a chilly smile and, with a glint in his eye, aimed an intimidating stare at her.
Ye Qingge showed no fear, ready to throw down at a moment’s notice. But deep down, she felt a touch of anxiety, thinking, “This guy has opened the Heavenly Pool Palace, making his body so much stronger… he’s not easy to deal with!”
Seeing the situation get tense, Yuan Ruoyu cleared her throat and asked, “How do you feel after your breakthrough?”
She hesitated a moment and couldn’t resist asking, “Do you think opening all three ancestral palaces is a trap?”
At this, everyone’s expressions turned serious, glancing at Lin Feng. His jovial demeanor replaced with a look of concern.
After a moment of silence…
Lin Feng slowly replied, “I’m not sure myself; that’s why I haven’t shared the ancestral palace secret techniques with you all until now!”
With that, Lin Feng flipped his palm, creating a wave of spatial energy, and dozens of scrolls appeared before them.
These scrolls were ancient, emanating a breath of long-lost time.
Lin Feng turned to them and said, “Look, these are all techniques I found from the ruins of various celestial mansions!”
“All are techniques for opening the three ancestral palaces!”
Yuan Ruoyu looked at the pile of scrolls, astonished, “So many?”
The Purple Paulownia Great Emperor’s eyes sparkled with surprise. How did this guy find so many? You see, techniques for opening ancestral palaces belong to each great faction; even direct disciples wouldn’t easily share them, let alone an outsider.
Lin Feng had pulled out stacks—each method for opening the ancestral palace had no less than ten variations. Just think of how many twists and turns were involved in collecting these!
Lin Feng chuckled, explaining, “These are just the ones I found decent; I left out the complicated ones with too many flaws!”
The Purple Paulownia Great Emperor was speechless for a moment, “How did you even find these? Don’t tell me the factions willingly gave them to you?”
“Ke ke…” Lin Feng smiled mysteriously and merely replied, “A man has his clever ways!”
She decided not to press further. Soon, everyone couldn’t help but pick up the scrolls and flip through them. Besides the written records, there were also some ancient symbols sprinkled throughout.
Lin Feng had circled them, adding annotations—super meticulous.
Clearly, he had done in-depth research on each scroll.
Yuan Ruoyu, Ye Qingge, and the others, whether by talent or intelligence, were top-tier. They faced no major difficulties comprehending the secret techniques recorded.
As they read, their brows furrowed, revealing their pondering expressions. Lin Feng quietly waited without interrupting.
Over an hour passed before they finished reviewing all the scrolls. Yuan Ruoyu looked puzzled, saying, “Each method for opening the ancestral palace has different flaws—was this intentional, or is there a problem with the transmission?”
Ye Qingge chimed in, “According to the scrolls, all opened ancestral palaces have defects. They’re not complete ancestral palaces!”
After this, they all glanced at Lin Feng, remembering he had just opened an ancestral palace that didn’t seem incomplete at all.
Lin Feng nodded but then shook his head, saying, “My method is not one of those listed. It’s a synthesis of all secret techniques!”
Pausing for a moment, he continued, “I can’t guarantee there aren’t flaws until I’ve verified everything. Then I can pass them on to you!”
He was being extremely cautious; he couldn’t take risks. If there were real traps or defects hidden in opening ancestral palaces, he could handle it alone.
But he couldn’t ensure Yuan Ruoyu and the others stayed safe. That’s why he hesitated to pass down the techniques.
At this point, a glint of determination flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes as he said, “If there really is a trap behind this, now that I’ve opened all three ancestral palaces, it’s the perfect time to strike!”
“What’s gonna happen now?” The girls’ expressions changed, nearly in unison.
Lin Feng gazed into the distance and calmly said, “Don’t worry, I have my plans.”
“Now…”
“It’s time to erase that guy’s mark!”
With that, Lin Feng soared into the depths of the celestial mansion, turning back to say, “Follow me!”
Yuan Ruoyu and the others’ faces grew serious as they quickly followed. They all knew who Lin Feng meant by “that guy’s mark.”
The previous owner of this celestial mansion—a figure Lin Feng treated with extreme caution.
