"Why has everyone disappeared, and yet I havenāt left this world?" Lin Feng frowned.
He had learned about some events from when the Eternal God Monarch was young. By all accounts, he should have returned to reality by now.
But the reality was that Lin Feng was still in this illusory world, unable to leave.
"Am I trapped here?" Lin Feng muttered to himself, feeling troubled.
If he was trapped here, how would he get out?
Lin Fengās expression became slightly grave.
...
He had been to many places, found nothing, and all the people had vanished as if evaporated; there were no birds or beasts in the mountains either.
"Seriously? Eternal God Monarch, brother, after I saw you drenched in rain and thought about carrying you to a place where you wouldnāt get wet, am I not a kind person? And you want to trap me in this damned place?"
Lin Feng was quite depressed.
This was a desolate world.
There was no life, and it seemed only he existed hereāit was enough to drive one mad.
Lin Feng searched many places and didnāt find any living creatures, not even Ouyang Xiyu or others.
Logically, they should have also entered the world constructed by the Eternal God Monarch. Why werenāt they here?
This was what made Lin Feng most perplexed; he felt this mountain forest was filled with strangeness.
"I should just cultivate. Hopefully, when Iām stronger, I can find some clues."
Lin Feng sighed.
He discovered something astonishingāthe Dragon Seeking Technique was also applicable in this world.
Using the Dragon Seeking Technique, Lin Feng found many Spiritual Mines and dug out dozens of top-grade Spiritual Stones.
Lin Feng relied on these top-grade Spiritual Stones for his cultivation.
Cultivation knows no time.
When Lin Feng awoke from his meditation, his cultivation had broken through to the peak of the Fourth Level of the Martial King Realm.
"Indeed, it is worthy of being top-grade Spiritual Stone. Using top-grade Spiritual Stones for cultivation, the improvement is fast indeed," Lin Feng murmured.
He continued to search for Spiritual Mines in the mountains, wanting to dig out top-grade Spiritual Stones for cultivation.
However, the Spiritual Mines he found later did not yield any top-grade Spiritual Stones.
Lin Feng lay on the ground, looking at the sun, and couldnāt help but sigh.
He didnāt know when such days would end.
He also didnāt know when he would be able to leave this eerie world.
...
"Do you really have the luxury to lie here and sunbathe?" A cold mocking voice came.
Lin Feng was startled and quickly jumped up.
He saw a woman in a black robe approaching.
A woman from the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.
Lin Feng was genuinely tearful.
How many days had it been?
Every day all he did was talk to himself, then search for Spiritual Mines, then mine them, then cultivate.
Or practice his Alchemy Skill and Spirit Array Skill.
Such days were repetitive and naturally very dull.
Now, at last, he had seen a living person.
Even though they were enemies.
Lin Feng initially wanted to rush up and give the black-robed woman a bear hug, but he promptly stopped himself, fearing that the black-robed woman might kill him.
The woman in the black robe said sarcastically, "Donāt worry, I wonāt kill you now."
Lin Feng chuckled lightly, saying, "Even if you wanted to kill me, Iām afraid you wouldnāt be able to. Though Iām no match for you, getting away from you isnāt all that difficult."
The woman in the black robe didnāt affirm or deny; she didnāt argue either. Her eyes, shrouded in the black robe, looked toward Lin Feng, seemingly deep in thought.
"Have you seen anyone else?" Lin Feng asked.
"I havenāt seen anyone; you are the first person Iāve come across," the woman in the black robe replied.
"Youāre also the first person Iāve encountered. How did you find me?" Lin Feng asked.
The woman in the black robe fell silent.
She was originally in an arid and desolate world until recently when she heard a complaint. She followed the sound and jumped into a lake, but the next moment, she appeared in these woods.
Then she saw Lin Feng lying on the ground.
"The cultivators who enter this world seem to be separated into different spaces through a special method, but these spaces are also interconnected. If one can find the connection points between these spaces, it becomes possible to traverse among them. I must have accidentally entered such a connection point," the woman in the black robe explained.
"It seems we two really share some fate," Lin Feng said with a half smile.
"Better mind your words in front of me, and donāt talk nonsense, or youāll know the consequences," the woman in the black robe warned, glancing coldly at Lin Feng.
"Being honest is always my strong point," Lin Feng said, grinning.
Afterwards, he and the woman in the black robe cultivated together, and, surprisingly, they did not come to blows.
Perhaps the woman in the black robe also disliked the feeling of being alone in a silent, desolate world.
Over time, it could drive a person mad.
"Ah, these are my top-grade spiritual stones!" Lin Feng cried out in anguish; he had finally dug up five top-grade spiritual stones, but the woman in the black robe had snatched four of them.
"Theyāre mine now," the woman in the black robe said with a cold snort, her expression saying thereās no room for disagreement, leaving Lin Feng in tears.
Then Lin Fengās miserable life began; every time he dug up top-grade spiritual stones, the woman in the black robe would snatch several, and if he was lucky, he might keep two; if he was unlucky, he might retain only one.
Days here were timeless.
There was no alternation of spring and autumn, no change in yin and yang; eternal daylight was the only world here.
Lin Fengās cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds, reaching the Seventh Level of the Martial King Realm.
He often sparred with the woman in the black robe.
She was incredibly strong; every time Lin Feng sparred with her, he would inevitably be beaten up.
But this time, Lin Feng seized the opportunity and pinned her to the ground before she could send him flying.
"You jerk, let me go!" the woman in the black robeās voice grew slightly panic-stricken.
"Looks like the tables have turned. Now that youāre in my hands, what should I do to punish you?" Lin Feng asked with a mischievous smile.
"Donāt you believe I will kill you?" her voice was icy cold.
Lin Feng said helplessly, "Itās just a joke. Iāve actually always wanted to see what you look like."
"Fat chance," the woman in the black robe snorted.
But Lin Feng seized the opportunity when she was not looking and ripped the veil covering her face.
Immediately, an exquisitely beautiful face the size of a palm appeared before Lin Fengās eyes.
It was a breathtakingly beautiful face with spiritual eyes, long eyelashes, Liu Yeās dark eyebrows, a prominent cute nose, and soft, jade-like red lips. Each feature was perfect to an extreme, and collectively, they could be called a heavenly beauty.
"You bastard." Feeling Lin Fengās somewhat fiery gaze, the woman in the black robeās cheeks turned red.
She tried to push Lin Feng away but was instead firmly held down by him.
"Iāve been beaten up for so long, as a man of integrity, I wonāt hold it against you," Lin Feng said, grinning.
"Just let me go quickly then," the woman in the black robe said, her cheek flushing.
Instead, Lin Feng lowered his head and quickly planted a light kiss on those tender, red lips.
The woman in the black robe instantly felt her mind go blank as her cheeks turned even redder, as if they could bleed.
