"Brother Ling, are you finally done with your work?"
At this moment, Lee Bufan was meditating outside the tent. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, looking towards Ling Feng, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
Ling Feng touched his nose and gave a bitter smile before striding over towards Lee Bufan.
"Since when did the ’Little Sword God’ Lee Bufan learn to tease others?"
Ling Feng sat down cross-legged beside Lee Bufan and couldn’t help but give a bitter laugh.
"People always change, don’t they?"
Lee Bufan raised his sword-like eyebrows. Ever since he joined the East Courtyard Sword Team, his mindset had quietly changed a lot.
In the past, his heart was only filled with the sword, but now, he had more companions and more bonds.
"How about it? Did you gain anything in the Ancient Tower Forest?" Ling Feng asked calmly.
"I was fairly lucky, comprehending a Dao called the Heart Sword Dao."
"Heart Sword Dao?" Ling Feng was slightly stunned, "What is the Heart Sword Dao?"
"My comprehension is still insufficient, and I have not yet reached the realm of Sword Heart Clarity. Otherwise, with the Heart Sword Dao, one could form a sword with a thought. Where the heart goes, the sword points."
Lee Bufan smiled faintly, "Taking the sword as the Dao, this is indeed the Dao that suits me!"
"Well, I had already known that with your talent and comprehension, you should be able to comprehend a Dao." Ling Feng laughed heartily, "Congratulations!"
"It’s not worth mentioning." Lee Bufan shook his head, his gaze fixed on Ling Feng, "But you, why did you leave the Ancient Tower Forest so early?"
"I’m not as lucky as you, unable to comprehend any Dao. However, because of this, I gained an opportunity in another secret realm and have already broken through to the Origin Transformation Realm."
Lee Bufan’s pupils slightly narrowed as he examined Ling Feng, exclaiming in surprise, "Origin Transformation Realm Peak!"
Ling Feng just smiled faintly, not saying a word.
"It seems this time our chances of defeating the Royal Sword Team have increased somewhat."
After a moment, Lee Bufan regained his composure, a smile appearing on his face.
"Of course, it also won’t be without you companions!" Ling Feng’s eyes flashed with a bright gleam, "By the way, what about Qianxue and Yan’er? Have they gained anything?"
"Why don’t you ask them yourself?" Lee Bufan said with a teasing smile.
Ling Feng shook his head, "Never mind, they’re already resting."
Lee Bufan raised his sword-like eyebrows and said lightly, "Junior Sister Mu comprehended a Divine Fire Dao, as for Miss Tuoba, her ability is even more frightening, Disaster Dao."
"Disaster Dao?" Ling Feng was slightly surprised, "What’s so mysterious about this Dao?"
"According to Miss Tuoba, the Disaster Dao can sense the number of calamities in the void and bring disasters to others." Lee Bufan said slowly.
"This Disaster Dao is truly terrifying!"
Ling Feng took a deep breath, thinking that this Disaster Dao was really frightening. If he were to offend Tuoba Yan, he might have bad luck even drinking cold water.
"However, the power of the Dao should not be misused, and there are many restrictions. It can only serve as a life-saving talisman in critical times." Lee Bufan shook his head, slightly regretting.
"If such a heaven-defying ability had no restrictions, then mastering a Dao would mean being invincible in the world, wouldn’t it?"
Ling Feng laughed freely. It seemed that Lee Bufan and the others had all mastered a Dao, but unfortunately, he was not connected with the Three Thousand Great Dao. However, when he broke through the Hundred Meridian Limit, he sensed a power of the Dao in the void that merged with the Chaos Seed in his body, vaguely causing some kind of peculiar change.
However, what exactly the change was, he couldn’t tell, nor explain.
Then, Ling Feng discussed some matters of the Infinite Cave Heaven with Lee Bufan. Of course, the part about Void Lord Kezek was deliberately skipped, and he detailedly talked about the Spirit Void Spring Eye and the prodigies of the Demon Clan.
"So, the Demon Clan was causing disturbances at the fortress border to confuse our sight." Lee Bufan finally realized.
"However, this time, the Demon Clan’s plans have likely fallen through." Ling Feng took out some Spirit Void Springs from the Spirit Storage Ring, "These are the remaining springs I have. Keep them. Once you advance to the Divine Origin Realm and start interacting with Divine Sense, they will naturally come in handy."
Lee Bufan hesitated for a moment but eventually accepted the porcelain bottle, saying lightly, "Then, thanks a lot."
"No need for formalities. By the way, it’s best not to consume these springs orally." Ling Feng touched his nose, feeling somewhat guilty as he spoke.
Strictly speaking, the remaining Spirit Void Springs were actually his bathwater...
"Hmm, thanks for the reminder."
Lee Bufan had no suspicion, simply nodding his head, and felt even more grateful to Ling Feng in his heart.
Time flew by, and soon three days had passed.
During these three days, the demon armies at the border withdrew one after another, and the Sky-reaching Fortress gradually returned to its usual calm, lifting its alert status.
With the demon armies retreating, Yue Yunlan’s second brother, Yue Tengfeng, was finally able to return to the fortress. Although he and a few personal guards had suffered some injuries, fortunately, there was no threat to their lives.
Knowing that Yue Tengfeng was unharmed, and with Tuoba Yan’s condition stabilizing, Ling Feng finally decided to resign to Grand Commander Han Li and leave the Sky-reaching Fortress.
"General Ling, it was all thanks to you that we were able to unravel the Demon Clan’s plot this time!"
Han Li had been busy these days and hadn’t had the time to meet Ling Feng. Knowing Ling Feng was leaving, he made the effort to see him off.
"Grand Commander, you flatter me. It was just a coincidence. However, I’m sorry about General Cao’s matter."
Ling Feng bowed to Han Li and said.
"Strictly speaking, this is also my oversight. If I had trusted you and sent Human Emperor support, such an incident wouldn’t have happened." Han Li sighed lightly, "Regardless, this time General Ling made a great contribution. If you graduate from the Heavenly Position Academy in the future, the door of the Northwest Army is always open for you!"
Saying so, Han Li patted Ling Feng’s shoulder heavily and ordered men to present some Primordial Stones and Elemental Crystals. The soldiers of the three armies simultaneously saluted and watched Ling Feng’s group leave the fortress.
It wasn’t until Ling Feng’s figure gradually disappeared at the horizon that Han Li led the soldiers back to the camp with another light sigh.
"Since the Grand Commander thinks so highly of Ling Feng, why not persuade him to stay longer? As for that Royal Sword Team competition, with just a word from you, Grand Commander, it would just be mere child’s play."
Military officer Jia Wenhe, seeing Han Li sighing regretfully, couldn’t help but step forward to speak.
Han Li shook his head, "This one aspires to go far; even the Northwest Army Camp is just a small pond to him. How can a true dragon be confined to a pond?"
"This..." Jia Wenhe’s eyelid twitched, "Grand Commander’s meaning is?"
Han Li took a deep breath and reluctantly uttered two words, "Holy Land..."
Inside the tent, all the gathered generals couldn’t help but take a deep breath. The Holy Land is the true stage for martial arts prodigies!
