Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 2730: The Marsh Plain

Ma Biaohu looked at Lin Feng thoughtfully, then sat down beside him and said, "Boss, why did you talk to the Tower Master like that just now?"

He really couldn’t understand. Wasn’t the matter of establishing the Sect supposed to be kept secret? Wouldn’t this let Fan Yun guess that Lin Feng was making some move? Besides, the Tower Master of the Myriad Gods Tower had always treated Lin Feng very well, and Lin Feng had even saved the Tower Master’s son’s life—how would he end up becoming Lin Feng’s enemy?

"Because that’s the inevitable outcome." Lin Feng said calmly. After all, the Myriad Gods Tower and the Holy Pill Pavilion had always been close. Not telling Fan Yun the truth was truly out of helplessness. His stance was destined to be opposed to the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm.

If, after the Sect was established, there was anything he least wanted to see, it was Fan Yun, Song Cheng, and Elder Chu appearing on the side opposing him. But he knew that was impossible. Everyone had something they had to protect.

"Still don’t really get it!" Ma Biaohu felt that Lin Feng’s words were getting more and more profound, and he couldn’t quite understand. But whether he understood or not wasn’t important—whatever the Boss told him to do, he’d just do it. He glanced at Lin Feng, wanting to ask about Miss Peng Family, but didn’t know how to start.

How could Lin Feng not know what Ma Biaohu was thinking? He took the initiative to ask, "You went to see the Family Head of the Peng Family. How did it go?"

When Ma Biaohu heard that Lin Feng actually knew what was on his mind, he immediately broke into a grin, looked at Lin Feng, and said, "The Patriarch Peng agreed to the marriage between me and the young lady."

"Then once we’ve chosen a location for the Sect, we’ll go back to Lin City and get your wedding done first." Lin Feng looked at Ma Biaohu’s expression; he had already decided this long ago. Ma Biaohu had followed him for so long, and now he could find someone he loved in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm and let go of the heartbreak from before—this was truly something to be happy about.

"Really? Boss, you’re the best! Thank you, Boss!" Ma Biaohu was so excited by Lin Feng’s words that he couldn’t sit still. He jumped up at once, grabbed the sleeping Tangyuan from the table, and smothered it in kisses.

"Ah! Ma Biaohu, what are you doing!" Tangyuan, who had been in the middle of a sweet dream, was startled by Ma Biaohu’s actions, and looked at him with a face full of disgust.

At this moment Xiao Jiu also stared at Ma Biaohu in horror, afraid that Ma Biaohu’s demonic claws would reach toward it.

Lin Feng smiled as he watched their antics.

Time slowly passed, and Aurora had been flying in the sky for two whole months like this. Because he didn’t have a detailed map, Lin Feng could only rely on his memory to search, so he could only move forward while continuously using his Divine Sense to probe the surroundings, lest he miss the location of the Marsh Plain.

Then one day, Lin Feng sent out his Divine Sense and finally detected a special marsh on a boundless plain. He felt that this spot should indeed be the Marsh Plain. He then put away Aurora and, taking Ma Biaohu, Tangyuan, and Xiao Jiu, flew toward the marsh.

But as soon as the two people and two beasts reached the sky above the marsh, Lin Feng sensed a powerful pull, as if some force were yanking him down hard. The closer they got, the stronger this pull became. He had no choice but to land with Ma Biaohu and Tangyuan a long distance away from the marsh, then looked at Tangyuan and asked, "Do you feel anything unusual?"

"Yeah, this marsh is really weird. It keeps feeling like it wants to drag me in." Tangyuan tilted its little head, looking at the marsh a hundred li away from them.

Ma Biaohu had just recovered at this moment. Hugging Xiao Jiu, he said, "I can barely take it. What the hell kind of place is this?"

Xiao Jiu was the strangest of all. Even at this distance of a hundred li, if Ma Biaohu weren’t holding it tightly, with Xiao Jiu’s body like that of a child a few years old, it would have already been dragged into the marsh by that force.

This situation left Lin Feng very perplexed. He discovered that among them Tangyuan’s level was the lowest, so the force Tangyuan felt was the weakest, while his own strength was the highest, making this sensation particularly intense. What on earth was going on? Yet the more it was like this, the more interested he became. He then instructed Ma Biaohu and the others, "Be careful."

He wanted to verify his speculation first, which was why he hadn’t put Ma Biaohu and the others into the Cave Heaven Mansion. If things got worse as they moved forward, he would then store them away.

The two people and two beasts kept a close watch on their surroundings, cautiously approaching the marsh. Looking out, the entire plain was empty and desolate; the ground on the plain looked as if it had been scorched under blazing sun, covered in countless cracks. And at the center of the plain, a marsh spanning several hundred li in radius appeared extremely eerie.

The closer they got to the marsh, the stronger that power became. Ma Biaohu was already having trouble withstanding it and kept standing behind Lin Feng.

When they finally stood at a spot several dozen li away from the marsh, they were all stunned. At the very center of the entire marsh was a seething black liquid, constantly bubbling, the gurgling sounds clearly audible. Around it, wrapping the liquid, was black mud, and within the black mud they could vaguely make out many white bones floating on the surface.

Looking closely at those white bones, there were Human skeletons and bones of Demon Beasts, but most of them were Demon Beasts. Seeing this, Lin Feng kept pondering in his heart. Some of these bones even reached several hundred zhang, nearly a thousand. Demon Beasts with such massive bodies were undoubtedly all existences at the Demon Venerable level. Even Demon Venerables had died here—what on earth was going on with this marsh, what exactly was this power?

Although the power of the marsh was immense, with Lin Feng’s strength he could still cope. At this moment Ma Biaohu and Xiao Jiu Tangyuan were already close to their limits. Tangyuan’s tiny claws were desperately clutching Ma Biaohu, refusing to let go. Tangyuan’s level was low so the pull on it was weaker, but its body was small, and this degree of attraction was still fatal for Tangyuan.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng said to Ma Biaohu, "You two stay here."

Then he rose into the air, closed his eyes, and sent out his Divine Sense. In an instant, his Divine Sense covered a radius of several thousand li. But what struck him as strange was that he could probe above the marsh, yet he couldn’t sense anything at all beneath it. There was definitely something inside this marsh suppressing his Divine Sense.

In this situation, Lin Feng wondered whether using the extreme high temperature of the Nine Suns Sky-Shaking Technique could bake the marsh dry. With that thought, he immediately drew Ma Biaohu and Tangyuan into the Cave Heaven Mansion. Then he raised both hands above his head and began to Circulate the Nine Suns Sky-Shaking Technique within his body. In a flash, nine Sunsburst appeared at once; nine blazing suns erupted in the sky, emitting blinding golden light.

Those nine Fiery Suns slowly gathered toward the center and before long actually condensed into a single Sunburst several hundred zhang across, hanging in midair. The surrounding temperature spiked rapidly, and Lin Feng released the Seven-Colored Essence Gang from his body. Instantly, the Seven-Colored Essence Gang was like a rainbow silk ribbon flying toward the Sunburst, pouring into it.

As the Yuangang was continuously infused, seven-colored flowing light actually appeared within the gigantic Sunburst. When that flow of light reached its peak, Lin Feng looked down at the marsh. The marsh was still boiling. He thought that if he hurled this Sunburst into the marsh, it would surely evaporate all the muddy water dry.

He waved his hand, and that enormous Sunburst streaked across the sky like a massive golden meteor, plunging down in an instant...

This!

But what Lin Feng hadn’t expected was that the moment the Sunburst touched the marsh, it was directly swallowed by the marsh. A Sunburst nearly a thousand zhang across fell into the marsh like a small pebble tossed into the boundless Dahai, without stirring up even the slightest reaction.

Seeing this, Lin Feng felt the strangeness even more intensely. For the first time, true caution arose in him. This marshland plain was very likely not as simple as he had imagined. Since this place could be listed as one of the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm’s few bizarre lands, it definitely couldn’t be judged by common sense.

He stared at the marsh below without moving. He had to come up with a method to unravel the marsh’s secret...

Lin Feng remained suspended in the air in meditation like this, and unknowingly several days passed. One day, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him and he opened his eyes. He had thought of a very bold idea—extremely insane. If he was even slightly careless, he might fall into qi deviation.

After weighing it in his heart and running a deduction in his mind, once he roughly had a grasp on it, Lin Feng began to Circulate the Nine Suns Sky-Shaking Technique. In an instant, that enormously huge Sunburst appeared again in the sky. When the Sunburst condensed to the limit of what he could withstand, he withdrew the Nine Suns Sky-Shaking Technique from his body, supporting that Sunburst in the sky with his Divine Sense while simultaneously Circulating the Nine Ice Divine Control Technique.

A faint Cold Qi seeped out from Lin Feng’s body, forming a pale-blue Yuangang that poured into the Sunburst in the sky. Lin Feng was exceedingly careful in this process, because this was his first time attempting such a thing. If he was even slightly careless, all his previous efforts would be wasted, and his own aura would become chaotic.

In fact, simultaneously Circulating two completely opposing Cultivation Techniques carried tremendous risk. Ice and fire were inherently incompatible. At this moment, Lin Feng’s body would sometimes emit a faint chill, sometimes a hazy heat. Under the effect of these two techniques, he kept his eyes tightly shut, brow furrowed, and every step he took had to be extremely cautious.

This state persisted for several days, until a gigantic sphere of fused ice and fire appeared in the sky. Only then did Lin Feng slowly open his eyes. After stabilizing the aura around his body, he let out a long breath.

Looking at this ice-and-fire bomb several hundred zhang across, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction. Half of this bomb exuded the blazing, utterly yang, utterly firm aura of Flame; the other half emanated the utterly yin, utterly frigid Cold Qi. If even this method couldn’t force the marsh to reveal its true form, then he really had no other options.

With that thought, Lin Feng immediately hurled this ice-and-fire bomb toward the marsh. In a flash, the sky changed. It was as if the entire space had been clearly split into half blue and half gold. The bomb was like a dividing line, carving a fissure through the sky as it crashed toward the marsh.

But at the very instant the bomb plunged into the marsh, just like before, there was no reaction at all—it was instantly swallowed by the marsh. Before Lin Feng could even react, in the space of a single breath, alternating red and blue light flared continuously from within the marsh.
