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

#694 - The most powerful spirit in the world

Li Chengfeng was known for his cautious approach, striving for perfection in everything he did. Especially when refining his Natal Magic Treasure, he would trace back all its past causes and effects, ensuring that the treasure truly belonged to him and resonated with his heart.

At this moment, while rapidly absorbing the surrounding evil energy into the sword embryo, he was also re-deducing his cultivation methods, deeply studying the Nine Tribulation Lightning Marks on the Black Lotus Buddha Heart Pagoda and the ancient demon's head.

The reason he placed so much importance on this was because, during his previous explorations, he discovered that the ancient demon's head definitely concealed an astonishing secret.

Ancient demons had to undergo nine lightning tribulations to achieve supreme power, even possessing the terrifying ability to traverse time and space and shatter planets with a single punch.

This undoubtedly contained many secrets about ancient demons, as well as powerful forces and laws.

Li Chengfeng would never miss this opportunity. He decided to slowly delve into it, carefully comprehending it, hoping to master these secrets and powers.

He sat cross-legged on the ancient demon's head inside the Black Lotus Buddha Heart Pagoda, closing his eyes and focusing his mind, carefully sensing the traces on it.

These traces seemed to contain ancient wisdom and power, guiding his divine consciousness to explore deeper.

After a moment, his divine consciousness suddenly entered a chaotic space.

Here, everything was hazy and indistinct, nothing could be seen clearly, as if it were an unknown world.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in this chaos, as if piercing through the barriers of time and space, clearly entering his ears: "Ten thousand years… I have finally waited for a destined one. Congratulations on arriving at Overlord of All Under Heaven's Small Grotto Heaven."

Li Chengfeng's divine consciousness transformed into a human form in the chaotic space. Facing the old man before him, he couldn't help but feel reverence in his heart.

The old man had white hair, white eyebrows, and a white beard, with a single horn growing from his head, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. He looked at Li Chengfeng, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, and slowly said:

"Not bad. Although you are not an ancient demon, but a human, your arrival has ended my ten thousand years of solitude.

Before his death, my master deliberately set up the first obstacle—discovering the entrance to his Small Grotto Heaven—in order to find a destined one.

However, for ten thousand years, countless brilliant and talented individuals have failed to discover this place. It is truly lamentable and regrettable."

The old man sighed here, but then revealed a gratified smile: "However, now it is good, you have finally arrived.

These lightning marks are the entrance to the Small Grotto Heaven. Your ability to discover them indicates that you have an inextricable connection with this ancient demon's head and this Small Grotto Heaven."

Li Chengfeng suddenly understood and respectfully asked: "Senior, may I know your honorable name? What is the story behind this Small Grotto Heaven? This junior's strength is currently weak, and I know very little about this."

He wore a humble expression, eager to obtain more information from the old man.

The old man laughed heartily and said: "I am the Spirit of Overlord of All Under Heaven's Small Grotto Heaven.

Back then, the ancient demon dominated the world, stirring up storms and making a name for himself in various star realms.

Not only was he exceptionally talented, but he was also a leader among the ancient demons, being both a strength cultivator and a law cultivator. Moreover, he cultivated both law and martial arts, possessing terrifying strength.

However, he made a mistake, killing a son of the Dragon Saint who was highly valued, angering the Dragon Saint.

Then, he was killed here by the Dragon Saint using the Palm Dragon Seal. Before his death, Overlord of All Under Heaven was very helpless and used his last strength to set up an obstacle, hiding his grotto heaven within his head, and then turning his entire body into the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range.

The Dragon Saint could no longer do anything to him because this was, after all, a low-level realm, the so-called human realm.

In addition, the Lord of Reincarnation broke into the Dragon Realm, slaughtering everywhere and capturing ninety-nine supreme true dragons, not knowing what supreme spiritual treasure he was refining.

Thus, the Dragon Saint and the Lord of Reincarnation launched a monstrous war."

The old man's eyes flashed with a hint of regret and emotion as he spoke.

He looked at Li Chengfeng and continued: "Now, you understand the origin and story behind this Small Grotto Heaven.

Although your strength is weak, your ability to discover this place indicates that you have a connection with the ancient demon Overlord of All Under Heaven.

Perhaps you can become his inheritor and continue his legacy."

Li Chengfeng's thoughts churned like a surging sea, and the scene of that great battle constantly appeared in his mind.

His heart stirred, considering whether to use the Grand Prophecy Technique to glimpse a fragment of the future or the past.

However, just as he tried to glimpse, with a sudden snap, the fragment he was viewing immediately shattered.

It was as if a special force was concentrated on his body in the dark, giving him no time to react.

With a boom, his entire body exploded and turned into countless runes.

Then, he transformed into an Undying Heavenly Phoenix, emitting a phoenix cry, barely managing to maintain his form.

Even the Substitute Death Puppet on his body could not stop this strange power.

This moment also shocked the Spirit of Overlord of All Under Heaven's Small Grotto Heaven.

He looked at Li Chengfeng and exclaimed after a moment: "You really have great courage, a newborn calf not afraid of tigers! You actually dared to pry into the existence of beings like the Dragon Saint and the Lord of Reincarnation.

You really don't know how to live or die! Not to mention you, even those true immortals would keep their distance.

You actually tried to attach causality to yourself. Although you have cultivated the ancient demon's Substitute Death Technique, you cannot escape misfortune.

This is the power of the victor: unthinkable, unspeakable, unseeable. Yet you still wanted to deduce something from them. You are really wishful thinking!"

Li Chengfeng said with lingering fear: "This disciple knows his mistake. I didn't expect the figures involved here to be so great.

However, in this short period, this disciple also vaguely captured a bit of information, that is, the Palm Dragon Seal is related to the Lord of Reincarnation, but this disciple still cannot see the Lord of Reincarnation's strength clearly.

From this, it can be inferred that the Lord of Reincarnation's strength is definitely above the Dragon Saint."

He recalled the scene he saw of the Palm Dragon Seal complementing the Finger Divine Child, and his heart was greatly touched.

He possessed the True Dragon Bloodline. When he used the Palm Dragon Seal, combined with the Heaven Flipping Seal he had comprehended, the truth and falsehood, the reality and illusion, would definitely give the opponent a big loss.

Thinking of this, Li Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

He was glad that he had cultivated the Undying Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline and possessed the power to transform everything into runes.

Otherwise, he would probably have been killed this time, and even the Substitute Death Puppet would not have had the chance to save him.

The Spirit of the Small Grotto Heaven said with a smile: "But you kid really cultivates strange techniques. You can actually avoid the holy and divine pressure of the Dragon Saint and the Lord of Reincarnation's killing intent. You are indeed a talented and brilliant individual.

You cannot enter this Small Grotto Heaven now because your strength is weak and you are not qualified.

However, since you have come here, you must have passed the first level. I will give you some benefits."

Saying that, he took out a ball of light and handed it to Li Chengfeng, saying: "This is the true ancient demon inheritance, containing all of Overlord of All Under Heaven's cultivation insights, magical techniques, and martial skills.

After you have passed the first tribulation of an ancient demon, you can enter the first level and obtain the treasures inside. You must know that this is the Small Grotto Heaven of a Nine Tribulation Ancient Demon, and the treasures inside are countless.

However, you must keep this matter a secret. Once it spreads, even some ancient monsters will probably come out of seclusion to kill you."
