He glanced at the exhilarated Huang Zhenting before him and then at the charming and naïve Rollroll. Lin Feng's mouth started to twitch. He really wanted to ask his grand disciple - didn't he feel that the scene just wasn't right?
Lin Feng heaved a sigh and patted Rollroll before he turned towards Huang Zhenting."Take him back to Wasteland Valley and take care of him. Tell Xuan Huang that he can take Rollroll as his mount if it pleases him. He's of no use to me."
He knew that he couldn't let his reputation be ruined because he chose something cute - not in the slightest chance.
Rollroll didn't seem to notice. Lin Feng patted him on the head, and Rollroll even nudged Lin Feng's hand even though his body was as large as a tiny mountain.
Huang Zhenting bounced on his toes."Founder, Founder - he's coming up to you to let you pat him!"
Lin Feng resisted rolling his eyes."Yes? What's the problem?"
Huang Zhenting swallowed."I want to touch him too. We have to feed him with exotic food - if not, even though he won't resist, he will shy away."
In other words, he would let you pat him if you fed him?
Lin Feng didn't know whether to cry or to laugh, while Huang Zhenting continued, "His appetite and his mouth is incredibly formidable. I had a piece of Matte Glowless Metal on me, and he finished it in a couple of bites. His saliva corroded right through the metal!"
The Matte Glowless Metal was one of the Six Mystical Metals of heaven and earth. Adding Matte Glowless Metal when forging weapon-type or armor-type magic treasures would give the quality a great boost.
Huang Zhenting's piece of metal wasn't the original mineral. Instead, development had already begun after excavating it and it was extremely tough. Huang Zhenting would find it challenging to destroy it even if he wanted to.
Lin Feng glanced at Rollroll and said casually, "This demon's saliva is especially designed to corrode metal and the like. It won't be so effective if it's used to digest other things."
Huang Zhenting chuckled, "We have to feed him if we want to touch him. Only Master can approach him without feeding him and he doesn't shy away either. However, he didn't have your luck - Rollroll came up to you to let you pat him!"
Huang Zhenting spoke with awe and admiration in his eyes as he stared at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng didn't feel happy at all as he watched his grand disciple's expression. He laughed bitterly inside and thought to himself, "I'm sure this isn't something to be proud of, is it? Vanquishing or subduing White Tigers can be considered an accomplishment, but subduing this lazy piece of shit... Somehow I feel a little shameful..."
Huang Zhenting continued, "Master found something else inside the Void Battleground as he was searching for great senior Shi. He instructed me to bring it back for you."
He opened his palm and a purple air sphere drifted in the center.
This purple air sphere originated from Shi Tianhao, and it was a small World of Consciousness that Shi Tianhao had created using his powers.
Light shadows flickered within this World of Consciousness, and several items were contained inside - one of them was a long stone stick, and it was about two feet long, give or take.
There were some mystical patterns engraved upon its surface, and it felt relatively profound.
The patterns were incomplete, and the stone stick was cracked on both ends as if it was a remnant piece that broke off something else.
Besides the stone stick, there was also a ring. It was the ring that was originally obtained from the Golden Roc Grand Sage that could counter the Hades Beasts.
Huang Zhenting said, "Master said that he followed your instructions and carried the ring around with him. There was a reaction and he found this stone stick by coincidence."
Lin Feng scanned the stone stick with his consciousness. His eyes began to sparkle faintly as he contemplated for a moment and kept the stone stick.
He turned towards Huang Zhengting and said, "Take this demon back to the Wasteland Valley. The rest of you can decide what to do with the rest of his race and the middle world they are inhabiting."
These demons probably wouldn't mind a mass migration. As long as there was food and they could sleep, and there weren't any dangers, where they dwelled in didn't matter to them at all.
Speaking of food and sleep...
Lin Feng glanced speechlessly at Rollroll, who was lying prostrate by his side. This guy actually fell asleep just like that while they were talking.
"This demon does like to sleep, and we have known that all along. But it isn't very appropriate for him to fall asleep right here in front of you."
Even Huang Zhenting, who was typically heartless about everything, felt a little embarrassed. He swept up the Giant Panda, who was like a small mountain, with his powers before he bid farewell to Lin Feng stated his intention to return to the Wasteland Valley.
Lin Feng nodded his head with an expressionless face."Go ahead."
He knew that Giant Pandas loved to sleep and didn't like to exercise. They ate incessantly, and they slept in between their meals, then they would wake up and continue eating.
In short, Giant Pandas slept after eating and ate after they woke up.
Lin Feng pouted discreetly as this had been one of his life goals once upon a time.
Lin Feng took out the stone stick again after Huang Zhenting took his leave. He inspected it for a while before he tapped his finger into the sky and a magic formation drifted into vision, sparkling with radiant colors.
Lin Feng tossed the stone stick and the ring into the magic formation. The magic formation continued to rotate and both items immediately disappeared.
The Ying Sea had returned to its tranquility of before. The waves were calm and undisturbed, while the layers of illusions intertwined as per usual, and it was hard to distinguish one from the other. Dense white clouds permeated the skies above the sea, and they appeared to extend into infinity just like the sprawling ocean beneath them.
Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of wonders didn't prohibit others from entering the Ying Sea, and they only established some rules and regulations. The sects and powers that were friendly with the Celestial Sect of Wonders were all allowed to traverse within.
As for the others who were unfriendly with the Celestial Sect of Wonders, even if Lin Feng did allow them inside, they would have to think twice about going in.
This was the case for demons. One could hardly see any demons at all in the Ying Sea nowadays, and that was quite unlike the old days. There used to be many demons who crossed the inter-world passage at the East Sea from the Barren Expanses and trudged into the Ying Sea afterwards.
The Ying Sea of today wasn't somewhere they could move around as and when they wished anymore.
The Penglai, Yingzhou and Fangzhang Celestial Mountains were submerged beneath the ocean once again. All three mountains had been assimilated by Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar.
However, obtaining absolute control over the Ying Sea through the three mystical mountains required some effort, and Lin Feng was working on it at this very moment.
The Nine Qi Avatar was located on Penglai, while the Thunder Dragon Avatar positioned itself on Fangzhang and the Avatar of Ares took over Yingzhou. The three avatars combined their powers and worked to assimilate the entire Ying Sea through the three Celestial Mountains.
Lin Feng's original body remained on Mount Yujing to cultivate and further his own mantras.
The Avatar of Ares traveled to the Southern Wilderness to participate in the Longevity City's settlement ceremony with Xiao Yan before this. They came back to Mount Yujing together, and the Avatar of Ares returned to the Ying Sea immediately afterwards after arranging everything and officially begun the assimilation.
Lin Feng's Nine Qi Avatar was seated above the Penglai Celestial Mountain. There was a small magic formation flickering and glowing before him.
The Nine Qi Avatar was focused on the assimilation process and didn't get up. It reached out with his hands and took the stone stick and the ring from the magic formation in front of it.
"Big Luo." Lin Feng called out softly, and a tall youth who was sitting cross-legged before Lin Feng stood up and came before him."Master Lin."
The tall youth before him was actually Big Luo Hades. He was standing right there, and his entire body was made of flesh and blood.
This wasn't a representation of his demonic powers and neither was formed by the Heavenly Oyster's Golden Pearl. It wasn't like Lin Feng's Nine Qi Avatar either - it was an actual body of flesh and blood!
During the final stages of the War of the Two Worlds and after they had pushed back against the Hades Tribe, Lin Feng sought back the Hades Beast remains that came from the Golden Roc Grand Sage once again.
A large about of flesh and blood essence was extracted from the Hades Kong Yuan's physical body after Lin Feng killed him. He combined it with the Hades Beast remains and successfully remade a physical body for Big Luo.
The Big Luo of today wasn't like his semi-conscious existence of before. He was an actual Hades Beast, and his abilities were formidable, and he possessed incredible potential as well.
Big Luo didn't lack strength at all. Instead, he lacked the ability to control his power and to channel them at whim, so that he could control it and not let it control him.
Even so, Big Luo had just gotten his physical body and successfully reached the undying demonic soul stage.
His preparations over the years had been for this very moment.
His current look was exactly the same as he was when he was still a human, and it was the result of him transforming into human form.
Lin Feng handed the stone stick to Big Luo and said, "Big Luo, take a look."
Big Luo took the stone stick into his hands. Purple light patterns glimmered on his skin as his consciousness and demonic power rippled before he infused them into the stone stick.
The stone stick didn't react at all at the beginning. However, it began to quiver as time passed. Its external appearance was the same as before, and nothing had changed.
Big Luo stared at the stone stick and revealed a perplexed expression."It seems to have communicated with me. However, it's there but not there at the same time. I think it's not because the stone stick is incomplete and cracked off something else - I think it's been like this since the beginning."
Lin Feng nodded his head and said, "Take this item and the ring to the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain, and look for Ning Wan'ge. Let her inspect the stone stick."
Big Luo was still a little confused, but he nodded his head decisively and said, "Yes, Master Lin."
He followed Lin Feng's instructions and stepped into the transmission magic formation set up between the Yingzhou and the Fangzhang Celestial Mountain, and quickly arrived on the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain.
Wang Lin and Li Yuanfang were also with the Avatar of Ares inside the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain. Wang Lin was cultivating while studying the Ying Sea's profound illusions and transformations.
Li Yuanfang was trying to understand the Nameless Ancient formation on top of the Yingzhou Celestial Formation while referencing it to his own learnings.
Ning Wan'ge, the Dream Holy Woman, was also there.
Ning Wan'ge met Lin Feng after the War of the Two Worlds, and remained on the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain to recover and cultivate.
Ning Wan'ge felt a tingling in her heart as Big Luo came to see her, and she recalled what Lin Feng said to her a long time ago."Perhaps I can help you regain your memories."
When Big Luo handed the stone stick to Ning Wan'ge, she suddenly became rooted to the spot as if she had been struck by lightning.
Brilliant hues of many different colors began to glow and contort around her body.
The radiant colors stabilized after a while and she reoriented herself.
Lin Feng's Avatar of Ares watched her and Ning Wan'ge said with a tinge of absent-mindedness, "The stone stick is broken, and the patterns on its surface are incomplete - but I'm sure this item is related to me."
Lin Feng asked, "Can you make new discoveries with this stone stick?"
Ning Wan'ge organized herself and answered, "Yes!"
