Finally, Li Chengfeng could begin cultivating the Sword Dao of Life and Death.
He utilized the Sword Dao incantation from the "Eternal Verdant Art of Life and Death," and with a thought, two streams of sword energy revolved around him slowly.
These two streams of sword energy, one black and one white, were incredibly agile.
He sent the sword energy piercing through the air, easily penetrating the hard wall of the ghost energy spring, as simple as cutting tofu.
Seeing this, Li Chengfeng laughed heartily, indicating that he had successfully cultivated the first level of the Sword Dao of Life and Death – Invisible Sword Energy.
He planned to cultivate the two streams of sword energy to the point where they were invisible and followed him like a shadow, and forge his Natal Magic Treasure during the Core Formation stage.
After tireless efforts, Li Chengfeng finally stepped into the early stage of Foundation Establishment, his mind reaching a state of unity.
He felt an unprecedented power, with a constant stream of mana within his body, filling him with confidence.
Compared to the elite disciples of those major sects, he was not inferior in the slightest, all thanks to the combination of his Nine Heavens Reincarnation, Eternal Verdant Art of Life and Death, and the Secret Art of Drawing Power from the Source.
He closed his eyes and pondered, filled with emotion, recalling the path he had walked over the years.
Each setback and difficulty made him more determined, and each breakthrough and advancement made him more confident.
The mana within his body continued to grow, and unable to fully absorb it, he sent it into the Netherworld Space for conversion.
As a result, the Netherworld Space rapidly expanded, reaching a scale of one hundred mu.
In this space, the spiritual energy and ghost energy became extremely dense, shrouded in mist, with Thunderstruck Wood and Ghost Qi Lightning intertwined, forming a magnificent scene.
Li Chengfeng seized this opportunity to begin re-forging his puppets.
Those useless Qi Refining stage puppets were eliminated by him, and hundreds of Qi Refining stage puppets were also used as cannon fodder.
He paid particular attention to the forging of Substitute Death Puppets, which, although unable to improve their cultivation, could protect him from danger at critical moments.
The Substitute Death Puppets had a special connection with Li Chengfeng, allowing them to withstand a fatal blow for him while concealing his presence from enemies.
However, their strength could not improve along with Li Chengfeng's growth.
Therefore, whenever Li Chengfeng cultivated to a new realm, he needed to forge new Substitute Death Puppets.
Now, Li Chengfeng, with the help of the Ghost Crying Jade in the Netherworld Space, began to condense blood shadows and separate his power to forge Foundation Establishment stage Substitute Death Puppets.
He calculated that, at the current rate, forging three Substitute Death Puppets within a month would not be a problem.
He had to complete this goal within a month to ensure his safety.
Therefore, he decided to stay put and continue cultivating, focusing on forging the Substitute Death Puppets.
Li Chengfeng was immersed in the focus of cultivation and forging Substitute Death Puppets, unaware of what was happening outside.
However, Feng Wuya outside suddenly suffered a major blow.
Feng Wuya suddenly woke up, his mind almost lost, a trace of scarlet overflowing from the corner of his mouth; he actually spat blood.
The reason was that a wisp of divine sense he had left in the Thunderstruck Wood had been mercilessly crushed.
When the Thunderstruck Wood was reborn, taking root and sprouting in Li Chengfeng's Netherworld Space, the divine sense hidden within it by Feng Wuya completely collapsed.
All of this came without warning, and even though he was a Great Cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, he suffered no small internal injuries.
Feng Wuya had placed great hopes on this wisp of divine sense, originally planning to refine the Thunderstruck Wood into a Spirit Treasure to help him take a step toward the Half-Step God Transformation realm.
However, now all of this had become a pipe dream.
He was angry and confused, and began to carefully examine his plan, trying to find the loopholes.
He sensed Feng Jiang in the seal again and discovered that Feng Jiang was not dead.
His divine sense entered it, and within a hundred miles, there were no obstacles for him.
However, he did not find anything unusual, only seeing Feng Jiang quietly cultivating there.
In fact, Feng Jiang had been sealed, and Li Chengfeng had cleverly used the Art of Fleeting Time, so that even if outsiders probed with their divine sense, they could only see Feng Jiang cultivating, and could not discover the nine great wind vortexes devouring ghost energy.
The more Feng Wuya thought about it, the angrier he became, the more indignant he felt.
He could not understand why the divine soul he had attached to the Thunderstruck Wood had shattered.
Could it be that it had been broken by the power on the other side?
Perhaps a powerful ghost on the other side had snatched away the Thunderstruck Wood?
He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with murderous intent, but to avoid alarming anyone.
That wisp of divine soul was most closely connected to his mind, so he was injured, and he had secretly sealed this wisp of divine soul so that outsiders would not know that he had tampered with it.
He decided that he could no longer wait and had to personally check it out to find the root of the problem.
So, he prepared to leave his secluded cultivation place and go to that area to investigate.
At this time, the Myriad Demon King was still immersed in cultivation, unaware of the storm that was about to occur.
Li Chengfeng suddenly felt a powerful divine sense sweep over, his face changed, and he immediately recognized that it was Feng Wuya's divine sense.
He had previously secretly used a Tracking Infiltrator on Feng Wuya in order to keep track of the movements of those who posed a danger or were helpful to him.
Now, he realized that Feng Wuya's divine sense was likely because he had sensed the danger that Feng Jiang was about to encounter.
Time was of the essence, and Li Chengfeng knew that he had to take action immediately.
He had only successfully forged one Substitute Death Puppet, although it was lifelike and possessed immense cultivation strength, but obviously, time was not enough.
If Feng Wuya broke in, he was afraid that he would be doomed.
For safety's sake, Li Chengfeng once again used the Dust of Time, directly enveloping the area where Feng Jiang was located.
Feng Jiang was frightened by the sudden change, his soul easily pulled out by Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng threw Feng Jiang's soul to the Spirit of Runes and instructed, "This soul is for you, but don't eat it yet.
Have fun with it for a year or two, torturing him well is also a kind of enjoyment."
The Spirit of Runes laughed loudly when he heard this, indicating that he would do as Li Chengfeng wished.
Then, Li Chengfeng used a secret technique to awaken Lu Xin's soul.
Lu Xin suddenly woke up in pain and found himself in Li Chengfeng's hands.
He asked in surprise, "Li Xu, how did I end up in your hands?"
Li Chengfeng replied calmly, "Lu Xin, I remember that you revealed Feng Wuya's scandal that day.
Now that I have killed Feng Jiang and rescued you, I am also preparing to give you a chance.
Whether you can seize it depends on yourself.
There is no body to seize here, only Feng Jiang's body.
Are you willing to seize it?"
Lu Xin replied without hesitation, "Of course I am willing.
I have long put life and death aside.
If a fellow Daoist can give me a way out, I will be extremely grateful."
In an emergency, Li Chengfeng did not have extra time to explain.
He directly sent Lu Xin's soul into Feng Jiang's body and suppressed Feng Jiang's attached soul, saying, "You directly devour his attached soul and integrate it into your body, so you can understand it well.
This body will be helpful to your future path of cultivation.
Of course, you have to rely on yourself to get through the Feng family's hurdle.
If you feel that you cannot get through this hurdle, you can consider running to other countries to cultivate after leaving here.
I will tell the Sect Leader to exile you from the Wind Cloud Sect to avoid you being persecuted again."
Hearing Li Chengfeng's words, Lu Xin respectfully bowed deeply and said gratefully, "Thank you, Senior Brother Li Xu.
I will definitely make good use of this body, and I will do my best to control it.
If I can't escape again, then that's just my fate."
"You should cultivate for a while first.
That old immortal Feng Wuya may come to check, so be careful to deal with him yourself.
I'm leaving now," Li Chengfeng said worriedly.
