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

After stabilizing his suddenly soaring cultivation level, Ling Feng looked at Wu Yazi.

At this time, Wu Yazi had lost most of his internal energy, and his hair and beard had turned completely white. His face was also very old, and he looked like an ordinary old man.

"Master, how are you feeling?"

Ling Feng asked with concern.

Seeing his disciple's concern, Wu Yazi felt very gratified:

"It's alright. Although I've lost most of my internal energy, thankfully you've left me a little. This way, I can still stay alive for the time being, and perhaps I can even witness you cleaning up my mess."

Hearing this, Ling Feng felt a pang of sadness and comforted him:

"Don't worry, Master. I will definitely bring Ding Chunqiu to you. He will be at your mercy then."

"Haha, alright, you can go now. I'm a little tired, I'll rest for a bit."

Wu Yazi smiled with satisfaction, nodded slightly, and said softly.

After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes and began to circulate the little internal energy he had left to maintain his remaining life force. He still wanted to see Ling Feng bring that traitor to him with his own eyes.

Ling Feng stood quietly to the side, his gaze fixed on Wu Yazi, a hint of sorrow and reluctance flashing in his eyes.

The Wuyazi before me was originally a handsome, dashing, and elegant middle-aged man.

But now it has become so old and frail, like a candle flickering in the wind.

All of this was because he lost most of his internal energy, which caused him to lose his former glory.

Wu Yazi gave him so much help and guidance, which was an immense debt of gratitude to him.

Therefore, Ling Feng made up his mind to repay this profound kindness no matter what.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng silently took a step forward and bowed deeply to Wu Yazi to express his respect and gratitude.

Then, he turned around and quietly walked out of the cave.

When Ling Feng came out of the cave, he found everyone waiting outside.

He took a deep breath and told them everything that had just happened in the cave.

Despite having a premonition, Su Xinghe still found it hard to accept this cruel reality when Ling Feng said it to him.

He closed his eyes in pain, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

Ling Feng felt a pang of pity seeing Su Xinghe's sorrowful expression.

So he patted Su Xinghe on the shoulder to comfort him.

Afterwards, Ling Feng made up a random excuse, saying that he needed to consolidate his cultivation level, and then went back to the house first.

Actually, he didn't really want to consolidate his realm by doing this. After all, he had already stabilized it in the cave. He went back to the room to sign in.

After all, several days had passed since he arrived, and he hadn't signed in yet.

He planned to wait until Wuyazi taught him martial arts before signing in, hoping to receive something even more valuable!

After returning to the house, Ling Feng couldn't wait to issue commands to the system:

"Sign in!"

"Ding!"

As a crisp notification sound rang out, Ling Feng's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Sign-in successful! Congratulations to the host for receiving the following sign-in rewards: Insight into Sword Twenty-Three, and ten years of cultivation time for any martial art."

"Ding!"

"Next check-in location: Head to Lingjiu Palace Misty Peak for check-in within three months."

"I go!"

Ling Feng couldn't help but swear, his face showing surprise and confusion.

He really couldn't tell whether the sign-in reward was good or bad.

After all, his understanding of Sword Twenty-Three was limited, and he could not accurately assess its value.

However, having something is always better than not having it.

As for asking him to arrive at Lingjiu Palace's Misty Peak within three months to sign in, Ling Feng thought it best to put it aside for now.

After all, the most important thing right now is to solve the difficult problem of the Zhenlong Chess Game.

Regarding Sword Twenty-Three, Ling Feng believed that although it also emphasized sword intent, he had already reached the realm where grass, trees, bamboo, and stones could all be used as swords, so it should be similar to Sword Twenty-Three.

However, now that we have obtained this sword intent, we can only try to fuse it and see what changes will occur.

However, to Ling Feng's surprise, when he incorporated his insights from Sword Twenty-Three into his own sword intent, he unexpectedly received a pleasant surprise.

I originally thought it was just ordinary sword intent, but I didn't expect that it contained a deeper level of skill.

Ling Feng finally understood why the Sword Saint in the Storm Riders was able to comprehend such a powerful move before his death.

Even after death, he could still use the power of this move to separate his soul from his body and wreak havoc in all directions.

The main reason is that what this sword twenty-three brings is not just ordinary sword intent, but a kind of ability that transcends common sense—sword intent space, or rather, sword intent domain.

Within this realm, time seems to lose its meaning; the enemy will be rendered immobile, left entirely at Ling Feng's mercy.

This terrifying domain of sword intent also has another name—Sword Heart Hell.

In this hell, enemies will suffer endless torment and pain, while Ling Feng will become the one who rules over everything.

Ling Feng realized that he was gradually gaining control of a terrifying power.

After fusing the twenty-three swords, Ling Feng then devoted those ten years of cultivation time to the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique.

The level of this technique is now too low; it's almost unable to keep up with Ling Feng's progress.

After ten years of cultivation and integration, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique broke through to the peak of the Innate Realm, only a hair's breadth away from the Grandmaster Realm.

Ling Feng was naturally very satisfied with this. He thought that after the next sign-in, he should be able to raise the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to the Grandmaster level.

Nothing particularly noteworthy happened in the Deaf-Mute Valley over the next two days.

Since Wu Yazi lost most of his internal energy, he has become much more enlightened.

Perhaps it was because he had finally let go of his burdens, or perhaps it was because his wish was about to come true; in any case, he had been living a very comfortable life these past few days, and even felt an unprecedented sense of ease and joy.

At the same time, Su Xinghe stayed by Wuyazi's side almost every step of the way, fearing that he might suddenly pass away.

Meanwhile, Wang Yuyan visits Wuyazi every day to chat with him and keep him company so he doesn't feel too lonely or bored.

And so, in this pleasant atmosphere, the originally scheduled date for the Precious Chess Game quietly arrived...

Early that morning, the sun was shining brightly and a gentle breeze was blowing.

Heroes from all walks of life in the martial arts world arrived one after another. The first group of martial arts practitioners to arrive had varying levels of skill, and most of them were second- or third-rate figures in the martial arts world.

Perhaps even they themselves know that they came here just to join in the fun and witness this historic event.

The Zhenlong Chess Game is a world-renowned and ingenious puzzle. Even Su Xinghe, the one who set it up, failed to solve it, let alone ordinary people.

However, faced with such an unparalleled chess game, even knowing that one is powerless to solve it, one still wants to witness it firsthand.

Time passed by, and around noon, the truly important figures finally arrived—the eminent monks of Shaolin Temple made their grand entrance!

A large group of Shaolin monks walked in, led by the highly respected Master Xuanku.

He personally led twenty or thirty Shaolin disciples, their imposing presence drawing attention.

Ling Feng glanced at the group of Shaolin monks, thinking that Xu Zhu should be among them.

Of course, even if he were in the team, Ling Feng wouldn't care now, because he had already snatched the opportunity here first.

Even if Xu Zhu solves the Zhenlong Chess Game as in the original story, this opportunity will have nothing to do with him.
