Chapter 254 Obtaining Treasures in Succession and Witnessing Pangu Creating the World
Only now was Ling Feng able to clearly observe the entire ruler.
The ruler was covered with countless mysterious runes, and in the very center of the ruler were two powerful characters: “Measure the Heavens”!
When his eyes fell upon these two words, Ling Feng was already certain that this ruler was the peerless magic weapon in his memory—the Primordial Measuring Ruler!
Upon successfully acquiring such a treasure, Ling Feng's joy was palpable.
It should be known that this Primordial Measuring Ruler is no ordinary object; it possesses an astonishingly magical property: it can kill without incurring any karmic consequences!
Therefore, for Ling Feng, the Primordial Measuring Ruler undoubtedly became an unparalleled magic weapon that was invincible for killing and robbing.
However, despite the immense power of the Primordial Measuring Ruler, Ling Feng quickly realized that the unusually dense spiritual energy in this place seemed to have no direct connection with it.
After careful consideration, Ling Feng deduced that the concentration of spiritual energy here must be related to another restriction.
To unravel the mystery that had been lingering in his mind, Ling Feng did not hesitate to put the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler into his system space.
He then rushed to another location where the restriction was located.
Based on the experience and steps he had accumulated when breaking the first barrier, Ling Feng focused intently on breaking the barrier in front of him.
As expected, everything went exceptionally smoothly. Ling Feng effortlessly and skillfully activated the second restriction.
As the restriction dissipated, Ling Feng was surprised to find that what appeared before him was also a villa, but this villa was significantly different from the one he had just seen.
In the courtyard of this villa stands a tall and straight pine tree.
Its thick trunk stretches straight up to the sky, like a green pagoda.
The pine trees are lush and verdant, like a giant open umbrella, bringing coolness and tranquility to the entire courtyard.
What's even more eye-catching is that the pine tree is also covered with plump, round pine cones.
These pine cones, some large and some small, and all different colors, resemble strings of tiny, exquisite bells, swaying gently in the breeze.
However, what truly shocked Ling Feng was not just the pine tree and its cones, but the almost liquefied, dense spiritual energy surrounding the pine tree.
These spiritual energies, like white mist, flowed slowly, enveloping the entire pine tree and creating a dreamlike scene.
Ling Feng discovered that this courtyard was the place with the most abundant spiritual energy on the entire Penglai Immortal Island.
At this point, the mystery that had troubled him for so long was finally solved—the reason why the spiritual energy in this place was so rich was because of this mysterious pine tree!
Although Ling Feng did not know what kind of pine tree it was, its location and the special protection it received were enough to prove that it must be something extraordinary.
After all, being planted in this mysterious palace and protected by restrictions, even a fool would understand that this tree must be extraordinary.
Just then, a flash of inspiration struck Ling Feng like lightning.
He suddenly recalled that in his previous life, when he was reading a novel about the prehistoric era, he had seen a description of a five-needle pine tree with innate spiritual roots.
It is said that although the Five-Needle Pine is not well-known, its efficacy is in no way inferior to that of the famous ginseng fruit.
This kind of spiritual root blooms once every five thousand years, and it takes another five thousand years to bear fruit. For the fruit to mature, it takes another five thousand years.
When the fruit ripens, its colors vary, each representing one of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Each time, ten fruits of each attribute will be produced, for a total of fifty fruits.
If an ordinary mortal could eat one of each of the five fruits, it would be enough to gather the most powerful five elements in the world.
In this way, one can skip the arduous cultivation process of hundreds of millions of years and instantly become the Great Luo Golden Immortal that everyone dreams of!
However, these Grand Luo Golden Immortals who have advanced through shortcuts have a fatal flaw—although they possess the vast and powerful magical power of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, they do not have the corresponding realm.
In other words, if they were to attempt to further enhance their strength in the future, it would be nothing but a pipe dream and impossible.
Although Ling Feng had doubts about the veracity of this rumor, his heart was already itching to try it.
Of course, given Ling Feng's cautious nature, he would never be foolish enough to recklessly absorb the energy from those fruits.
You must understand that in this primordial world where powerful beings are as numerous as clouds, especially after Hongjun preached, it has become a scene where Quasi-Saints are everywhere and Great Luo Immortals are as insignificant as dogs.
In contrast, Ling Feng has a unique system to support him, so how could he be content to stop at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal?
He plans to use the Hongmeng Dao Jing to help absorb the energy within, which should eliminate this hidden danger.
The real reason that prompted Ling Feng to take this risk and try to absorb the fruit's energy was that he harbored a bold idea in his heart—to see if he could take advantage of this opportunity to break through the shackles and enter the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal!
For now, however, none of that is urgent. The most pressing matter is to thoroughly investigate this place first.
After all, apart from the incomparably precious natural five-needle pine, there was nothing else to be seen in this courtyard.
At this point, the only place Ling Feng hadn't yet thoroughly explored was that room.
Ling Feng slowly walked to the door, stretched out his right hand and gently placed it on the door, then pushed it with a little force.
With a soft creak, the heavy door slowly opened to both sides, instantly revealing the scene inside to him without reservation.
In the very center of the room stood an enormous stone tablet!
The stone tablet stood tall and imposing, like a majestic mountain, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Apart from that, the entire room was empty, with no other items or decorations.
Ling Feng cautiously stepped into the room, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily, but after observing for a while, he didn't find anything special.
It seems that apart from that mysterious stone tablet, there is really nothing else in this room.
Ling Feng walked up to the stone tablet and examined it closely.
To his surprise, he discovered that both sides of the stone tablet were as smooth and flat as mirrors, without the slightest flaw or pattern.
After staring at it for a long time, Ling Feng still couldn't discern anything from the smooth, mirror-like surface of the monument.
Just then, a thought suddenly flashed through Ling Feng's mind:
In the novels I read in my previous life, there were often mentions of people sealing their thoughts inside certain objects.
So, is it possible that the person who left this stone tablet also hid their thoughts in it?
With that in mind, Ling Feng decided to give it a try.
He took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, mobilized his divine sense, and then slowly released it, probing into the interior of the stone tablet.
The moment his consciousness touched the surface of the stone tablet, he felt a blur before his eyes, and then the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.
The next moment, Ling Feng was shocked to find that his consciousness had been placed in a strange space that was still in a state of chaos and confusion!
In the depths of that distant, chaotic space, a magnificent lotus platform, as massive as a mountain, stood silently.
On the lotus platform, a towering giant stood proudly.
He gripped a giant axe that exuded endless pressure with both hands, his eyes closed, as if he were deep in thought.
Time passed second by second, and then, in a sudden moment, the giant opened his eyes, and two dazzling golden lights flashed across his eyes like lightning.
Immediately afterwards, the giant raised his giant axe high, making a fierce and powerful chopping motion.
With his movements, an unparalleled and powerful aura converged like a surging torrent, continuously rising to its peak.
Finally, when this momentum reached its peak, the giant swung his giant axe without hesitation and cleaved it fiercely forward.
In an instant, the seemingly ordinary giant axe suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, like a brilliant sun shining in the sky.
In the blink of an eye, a huge ball of light suddenly appeared where the giant axe had cleaved.
As soon as the sphere of light appeared, it expanded rapidly at an astonishing speed, its volume increasing rapidly and emitting terrifying energy fluctuations that made one's heart tremble.
The giant remained motionless in his previous forward-slashing posture, like a statue of a war god, seemingly continuously injecting powerful energy into the ever-expanding ball of light.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Without warning, three thousand monsters of various shapes and ferocious appearances silently emerged around the giant.
These monsters came on strong and surrounded the giant in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, Ling Feng's divine sense swiftly descended upon one of the monsters like a ghost.
At this moment, Ling Feng's consciousness was completely integrated with the monster, and he could clearly feel the monster's every move.
The monster was seen tightly gripping a strangely shaped, magnificent magical artifact in its right hand, which exuded a mysterious aura.
Just as these monsters suddenly appeared, their scarlet eyes were fixed on the giant before them, as if the giant were their mortal enemy.
In an instant, these monsters pounced on the giant like a pack of hungry wolves, their speed as fast as lightning and their momentum overwhelming.
However, the giant remained calm and composed in the face of such a fierce attack, as if he had known all along.
He calmly placed his previously free hand firmly against the ball of light, then swiftly withdrew the giant axe from his other hand.
At that moment, the giant seemed to break free from some kind of restraint, instantly becoming incredibly powerful.
He gripped the enormous axe in one hand and began to swing it wildly.
The giant axe drew sharp arcs in the air, creating gusts of wind and whistling sounds.
The monsters that attacked were utterly powerless against the giant's massive axe, like lambs to the slaughter.
With each swing of the giant's axe, the monster was easily cut down as if slicing melons and vegetables.
These monsters couldn't even withstand a single blow before turning into corpses and floating into the void.
Surprisingly, despite being no match for the giants, these monsters showed no sign of retreat or fear.
On the contrary, they continued to advance fearlessly, launching wave after wave of fierce attacks on the giant.
The giant showed no fear in the face of these reckless monsters.
He accepts all comers, and with each swing of his axe, a monster is reduced to a corpse.
Moreover, he acted decisively and ruthlessly, showing no mercy whatsoever.
As each monster was slain by the giant, a strange stream of light would suddenly emerge from their corpses and fly straight into the mysterious sphere of light.
Although on the surface, the giant's movements when killing enemies are fluid and seamless, as if he could easily take down these monsters.
But in reality, only the giant himself knew that he poured all his strength into almost every move he made.
It is said that he not only needed to use one hand to maintain the continuous growth of the light sphere, but also had to use the other hand to engage in fierce combat with the enemy.
As time passed, even someone as powerful as him gradually began to feel overwhelmed and powerless.
However, the giant did not give up easily and continued to grit his teeth and persevere.
Finally, at some point, the monster that Ling Feng possessed gradually approached the giant.
In an instant, Ling Feng only caught a glimpse of a dazzling axe light suddenly slashing down, its speed astonishing!
The next second, the monster he possessed was decapitated, and its corpse slammed straight down into the huge ball of light.
At the same time, the palace-shaped magical artifact in his hand lost its luster instantly under the fierce and unparalleled blow of the axe. Its originally gorgeous and exquisite appearance became damaged and incomplete, as if it had suffered a catastrophic disaster.
Then the monster's corpse merged into the sphere of light without any hindrance, just as naturally as a drop of water flowing into the ocean.
Ling Feng's gaze shifted accordingly, and in the blink of an eye, he felt as if he were in a completely unfamiliar new world.
Just a moment later, Ling Feng suddenly saw a dazzling stream of light shoot out from the monster's corpse and fly towards the distant horizon.
In the blink of an eye, it vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.
His consciousness was still closely following the monster's corpse, falling rapidly downwards uncontrollably.
During the fall, Ling Feng was surprised to find two more corpses joining the descent and falling along with them.
Time flew by like a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall. Ling Feng seemed to have fallen into a long slumber, completely unaware of how much time had passed.
Suddenly, he felt a strong impact and a cold touch; it turned out that the huge monster's corpse had fallen straight into the water.
Just moments later, two more deafening roars reached Ling Feng's ears. Without a doubt, two other equally enormous monster corpses had fallen into the water.
From that moment on, Ling Feng's consciousness seemed to have merged with the monster's corpse, remaining firmly attached to it.
As time quietly passed, the monster's corpse began to undergo earth-shattering changes!
Its flesh, bones, and every inch of its tissue are twisting, merging, and recombining in an incredible way.
Gradually, the originally hideous and terrifying monster's corpse evolved into a towering, vast, and enormous island.
The island resembles a colossal creature floating on the water, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura.
Meanwhile, the palace-shaped magical artifact that the monster had once clutched tightly in its hand now lay quietly on the island formed from the monster's corpse.
However, this once incredibly powerful magical artifact seemed to have lost its life, no longer exhibiting any spiritual energy.
