Chapter 253 The Mysterious Palace Continues to Enhance Its Strength
Even Ling Feng was deeply shocked by this scene.
You should know that the concentration of spiritual energy in this central area is almost comparable to that of the mysterious valley he came from!
Such a rich concentration of spiritual energy is truly beyond imagination.
You should know that the reason why the spiritual energy in the valley where he was before was so rich was entirely due to the magical Three Lights Divine Water!
If it weren't for the existence of the Three Lights Divine Water, the concentration of spiritual energy there would never have reached such a high level.
Thinking of this, Ling Feng felt a surge of intense emotion.
Since the spiritual energy in the valley has become exceptionally rich due to the Three Lights Divine Water, could there be some earth-shattering treasures hidden in the central area of this fairy island?
Otherwise, how could the concentration of spiritual energy here be so astonishing, it's practically terrifying!
Thinking of this, Ling Feng forcibly suppressed the burning desire and excitement in his heart, and his pace quickened involuntarily as he swiftly moved towards the central area.
After about half an hour, Ling Feng finally arrived at his destination.
However, when he witnessed the scene in the core area, he was deeply shocked and was so surprised that he couldn't even say a word.
It turned out that after he stepped into the central area, he unexpectedly discovered a somewhat dilapidated ancient palace.
Judging from its appearance, the palace has clearly been weathered by the passage of time, looking old and dilapidated, as if no one has lived there for many years.
But what puzzled and confused Ling Feng the most was why such a palace would appear on this overseas fairy island.
You should know that this place is the legendary "Penglai" fairy island!
Since the beginning of time, when Pangu separated heaven and earth, it has been hidden in the depths of the vast ocean, only to be revealed to the world during the great calamity of the witches and demons.
It is truly baffling that such a mysterious and legendary place would suddenly have a dilapidated palace.
And here stands a magnificent palace! Could it be that this mysterious Penglai Island has already been seized by someone else?
Ling Feng originally planned to use his divine sense to probe the situation inside the palace, but to his surprise and disappointment, his usually invincible divine sense was rendered useless at this moment, and he was completely unable to see even the slightest thing inside the palace.
You should know that since Ling Feng gained divine sense, he has never encountered such a situation before!
As the saying goes, "Curiosity killed the cat."
Despite being filled with doubt and wariness, Ling Feng's intense curiosity ultimately prevailed.
He gritted his teeth and resolutely decided to step into this seemingly perilous palace to find out what was going on.
With a heart full of trepidation, Ling Feng cautiously and slowly approached the palace gate.
When he stepped into the palace, what he saw left him speechless.
The interior of the palace was far more dilapidated than it appeared from the outside, as if it had been through a violent storm.
Everywhere there were ruins, broken stone pillars, and rubble, a scene of utter devastation.
However, Ling Feng knew very well that this could not possibly be the kind of damage caused by an ordinary storm.
After all, just from the outside, this palace is obviously extraordinary and not an ordinary thing. How could it be destroyed by a mere storm?
The palace wasn't very large, and before long, Ling Feng had thoroughly examined almost the entire palace, except for two areas that were clearly protected by restrictions.
To his dismay, after all that hard work, he found nothing.
However, Ling Feng was not discouraged. On the contrary, he placed all his hopes on the two places that were protected by restrictions.
His intuition told him that there might be some unknown treasures or opportunities hidden there.
After all, Ling Feng could clearly sense that the concentration of spiritual energy contained inside this palace was the highest on the entire Penglai Immortal Island!
Even the valley where he had previously lived was slightly inferior in comparison.
At this moment, only the two places in the entire palace that were protected by restrictions had not yet been explored by him.
Therefore, Ling Feng decided without hesitation to go to these two places to find out and try to break the mysterious restriction.
When Ling Feng arrived at the location of the restrictions, he immediately used all his skills to try to break them.
However, no matter how hard he tried and how much energy and time he spent, he was still unable to unlock it as he wished.
Faced with such a stubborn restriction, Ling Feng did not give up easily.
After careful consideration, he recalled the Primordial Dao Scripture he cultivated, hoping to find a solution within it.
Sure enough, after carefully studying the relevant records in the Hongmeng Dao Jing, Ling Feng finally figured out the trick and method to open the restriction.
Unfortunately, despite knowing the solution, he was still unable to break through these two incredibly strong restrictions because his own strength was insufficient.
For a time, Ling Feng was locked in a fierce battle with these two restrictions.
Since his current strength was insufficient, Ling Feng resolved to improve his cultivation as soon as possible and vowed to break through the restrictions to see for himself what kind of treasures were hidden inside.
Fortunately, this place is full of rare and precious natural treasures, which undoubtedly provides an excellent opportunity for Ling Feng, who is eager to enhance his strength.
Here, improving one's strength seems to become incredibly easy.
However, Ling Feng was not in a hurry to improve his strength. Instead, he planned to collect all the rare and precious materials on Penglai Immortal Island first.
Then, Ling Feng activated the sweep mode without hesitation, sweeping across the entire Penglai Immortal Island like a whirlwind.
This mysterious and ancient island is like an untouched virgin land, containing countless rare and precious natural treasures.
However, acquiring all these treasures is no easy task.
Ling Feng tirelessly traveled to various places, carefully exploring every corner.
With his keen senses and rich experience, he never overlooked any place that might hide rare and precious materials.
Whether on cliffs, in deep valleys, or deep in dense forests, his hard work left its mark everywhere.
After half a month of tireless efforts, Ling Feng finally succeeded in harvesting most of the mature natural treasures, but many that were not yet fully mature remained.
Ling Feng demonstrated ample patience and foresight regarding these promising treasures.
He knew that picking them too early would affect their quality and efficacy, so he decided to wait for them to ripen naturally before harvesting.
Of course, Ling Feng did not forget the valley he had crossed from.
There is not only a pool of incomparably precious Three Lights Divine Water there, but it also nurtures the Pure White Lotus.
Despite his deep longing for the Three Lights Divine Water, Ling Feng was not greedy.
He only took half of the Three Lights Divine Water, allowing the other half to continue nourishing the Pure White Lotuses.
The largest and most precious of all, the twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus, had already been put away by Ling Feng.
After all, as his companion spirit treasure, its value and significance are far beyond that of ordinary treasures, so how could he ignore it?
After Ling Feng had plundered all the rare and precious treasures, he rested briefly before rushing back to the somewhat dilapidated palace.
This place is peaceful and serene, making it an ideal place for dedicated spiritual practice.
He entered the palace full of anticipation, preparing to retreat and cultivate himself there.
After all, the spiritual energy here is incredibly concentrated, making it an ideal place for Ling Feng, who is eager to quickly improve his strength.
Upon entering the mysterious palace, Ling Feng scanned his surroundings and finally chose a corner at random. Without hesitation, he sat cross-legged and quickly entered a meditative state.
Moreover, Ling Feng had recently reaped a great harvest, scouring up a large number of extremely rare and precious natural treasures.
Therefore, he not only absorbed the abundant spiritual energy around him for cultivation, but also used those extremely precious natural treasures as auxiliary materials to further accelerate his cultivation speed.
After all, there are many rare and precious materials in the system space. If we don't make full use of them to improve our own strength, are we just going to leave them to others as inheritance?
As Ling Feng officially began his cultivation journey, spiritual energy from all directions seemed to be drawn by some powerful force, surging towards Ling Feng's location like a tidal wave.
As the spiritual energy gathered, it eventually formed a massive and powerful spiritual energy storm above Ling Feng's head!
The storm, like a roaring dragon, rolled and tumbled in the air, eventually transforming into a vortex of spiritual energy. The gathered spiritual energy flowed into Ling Feng's body through the vortex.
Fortunately, no one else was present at the time, so no one witnessed this breathtaking scene.
Otherwise, Ling Feng's astonishing cultivation method would surely attract envy from others, and might even bring about his death.
In an instant, Ling Feng entered a state of frenzied cultivation.
As the saying goes, "Cultivation knows no time," and time quietly slips away. In the blink of an eye, Ling Feng has been in seclusion for a thousand years.
Throughout this long millennium, Ling Feng maintained this high level of cultivation without ever slacking off.
Because of this, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he broke through to the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, only one step away from the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!
However, what is puzzling is that despite Ling Feng's best efforts, he still could not cross the threshold to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
This situation was simply unbelievable to him, as he had never encountered such a difficult situation in his long cultivation career.
Moreover, according to his previous estimates, he should not encounter any bottlenecks even when he reaches the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Therefore, Ling Feng couldn't help but feel suspicious and wondered what was going on.
But no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure it out.
Since he could not make further breakthroughs in a short period of time, Ling Feng decisively stopped cultivating.
After some deliberation, he decided to shift his focus to exploring the two restrictions inside the mysterious palace.
He was very curious about what precious item needed to be protected with such strict restrictions.
Driven by intense curiosity and a determination to find out the truth, Ling Feng began to use the unique methods he had learned from the Hongmeng Dao Scripture in an attempt to unravel the mystery of these two restrictions.
Ling Feng was completely focused and meticulously followed the established steps.
Every movement was extremely skillful and cautious, as if the slightest mistake would ruin everything.
As time passed, fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on Ling Feng's forehead, but his eyes remained unwavering.
Finally, after a series of complicated and tedious operations, a scene that surprised Ling Feng to his delight occurred—the seemingly indestructible restriction in front of him slowly opened!
After successfully breaking the barrier, Ling Feng couldn't wait to step inside, eager to see the treasure hidden behind it.
However, when he saw the scene before him, a feeling of disappointment welled up in his heart.
It turned out that behind the barrier was not the treasure vault or rare place one had imagined, but just an ordinary courtyard.
The huge courtyard was completely empty, with only one solitary room standing in the entire villa.
However, Ling Feng did not give up easily. He thought to himself: Since there is such a powerful restriction here, there must be some hidden secret inside.
Since nothing was found in the courtyard, it is highly likely that the real treasure is hidden in the only room.
With that thought in mind, Ling Feng strode forward without hesitation, walking straight through the courtyard towards the room's door.
As he slowly pushed open the old and heavy door, with a soft creak, the scene inside the room gradually unfolded before his eyes.
As far as the eye could see, the entire room appeared unusually empty.
Apart from the ruler floating in the very center, there were no other objects present.
The ruler shimmered with a mysterious, shimmering purple aura, as if a purple glow surrounded it.
It is only a little over a foot long, exquisite and small, yet exudes an undeniable majesty.
Just seeing this ruler stirred a surge of warmth in Ling Feng's heart.
Because he knew that anything that could be concealed with such a powerful restriction must be extraordinary.
Moreover, deep in his hazy memory, it seemed that in the ancient novels he had read in his previous life, there had been a magical artifact that was extremely similar to the ruler in front of him—the Primordial Measuring Ruler!
Rumor has it that the Primordial Measuring Ruler is a primordial treasure of merit!
It was formed by the condensation of the merits of creation during the time when Pangu separated heaven and earth and the most precious primordial energy between heaven and earth.
Its power is earth-shattering. It is not only an unparalleled offensive treasure, but its offensive power is second only to the Pangu Banner in the hands of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, which is known for its power to shake the world!
What's even more astonishing is that this magical artifact has an extremely powerful characteristic: killing someone leaves no trace of karma.
After repeatedly confirming that there was no potential danger in the surroundings, Ling Feng could not contain his excitement and carefully moved his feet toward the ruler that was floating in the air.
With each step he took closer, he could feel the oppressive aura emanating from the ruler, but this aura did not make him back down; instead, it fueled his intense curiosity about this mysterious treasure.
Finally, he approached the ruler, stretched out his slightly trembling hand, and tried to touch the mysterious treasure.
Without any surprise, Ling Feng easily took the ruler down from the air.
