The imitation of the Supreme Formation Breaking Drum had earth-shattering sounds. Although it was an imitation, it had fully inherited the drum's miraculous power to destroy all kinds of formations.
Back when the Great Thunderclap Temple's Vairocana Formation was destroyed by the Great Zhou Dynasty's Divine Martial Immortal Execution Formation, it was all thanks to the Supreme Formation Breaking Drum.
The drum's sounds turned into ripples that almost solidified and surged towards the Yin-Yang Life and Death Formation like a tidal wave.
The Yin-Yang Life and Death Formation reacted immediately as if it was facing a great enemy. The light kept changing and evolving to defend against the attack of the Supreme Formation Breaking Drum.
However, the Yin-Yang Life and Death Formation before them had neither a treasure to suppress the formation core nor any materials to set it up. It completely relied on a formation diagram to circulate the surrounding Spiritual Qi to form the formation.
Lin Feng couldn't control the formation himself, so the Yin-Yang Life and Death Formation operated on its own.
Under such circumstances, even the Divine Martial Immortal Execution Formation in the Great Swamp of the Ancient Region would be a completely different situation, let alone the Supreme Formation Breaking Drum's ability to counter all formations.
Amidst the drum's sounds, the lines of light that formed the Yin-Yang Life and Death Formation resisted bit by bit but collapsed bit by bit.
In the end, the entire formation could no longer withstand the pressure and shattered.
All the light gathered into a single point and turned into a small formation diagram. It flew into the sky and entered the small grotto-heaven created by the Mysterious Sky Treasure Tree.
Chen Gang's eyes flashed. "It'll be mine in the end."
Liu Yang, who was beside him, couldn't wait any longer. He took the lead and charged up Jade Capital Mountain, shouting, "Little bastard Lin, get out here!"
The Fire Crow Demon Marshal and Venerable Lie Feng looked at each other and hesitated for a moment before flying up Jade Capital Mountain as well.
Although Chen Gang was the last to land, he had already become the leader of the group. He looked around with a satisfied smile.
"If you don't come out, don't blame me for dragging you out and making you lose face in front of your disciple."
…
The top of the Mysterious Sky Treasure Tree reached into the void. There was a much smaller Mysterious Sky Treasure Tree growing there.
This shrunken version of the Mystic Heaven Treasure Tree was now covered in pale golden vines.
The Mysterious Sky Treasure Tree didn't feel any repulsion towards the vines that were obviously parasitic on its body. Instead, the two reached a perfect harmony, as if they were one.
At the top of the crown of this treasure tree, Lin Feng sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.
A month had passed in the outside Great Thousand Worlds, but the time in the Mysterious Heaven Time Light Utopia had been accelerated by 100 times, which meant that 100 months had passed.
Lin Feng had been cultivating in seclusion in the Grotto-Heaven for more than eight years.
In the past eight years, Lin Feng had been painstakingly studying Daoist techniques. His body was full of mana and he had reached the peak of the foundational level. He was only one step away from the core formation.
Suddenly, a flowing light flew in from outside the cave and landed in front of Lin Feng. It was the formation map of the Yin and Yang Life and Death Formation.
Lin Feng didn't even glance at the diagram, as if he didn't notice it at all.
At this moment, all of his attention was focused on the spiritual power sea in his body and the pill cauldron on top of his Bier.
In the Supreme Pill Cauldron, rolling purple Qi kept surging, combining with Lin Feng's mana of the Eight Trigrams of the Great Way and refining it together.
In the purple Qi, the universe, stars, mountains, rivers, wind, thunder, birds, beasts, humans, ghosts, demons, immortals, and countless other phenomena rose and disappeared, merging into a round shadow.
This ball-shaped shadow was also rolling in the purple mist, emitting a faint golden glow.
This was the embryonic form of the Golden Elixir, but it was still illusory and far from the real Golden Elixir.
In the past eight years, Lin Feng spent most of his time accumulating his mana in preparation for forming the Golden Elixir.
But how could forming the core be so easy? On the path of cultivation, the Qi Refinement Stage was just a preparatory stage. The Foundational Building Stage was the real beginning of laying the foundation, and only when the Golden Elixir was formed could one be said to have truly set foot on the path of cultivation.
Why did he say that? Because the Qi Refinement Stage basically didn't increase the lifespan of a cultivator. The normal lifespan of a cultivator at the peak of the Foundational Building Stage was no more than two to three hundred years.
Only after forming the Golden Elixir, the cultivator's lifespan would skyrocket to more than a thousand years, truly going against the heavens and struggling against fate.
That was why there was a saying in the cultivation world, "Swallow a Golden Elixir and break through the door of life and death.
Forming the Golden Elixir would break through the limit of a human's normal lifespan, break through the door of life and death, and obtain a thousand years of freedom, with enough time to continue to explore and comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Gold was immortal, existing for thousands of years, and was called the Golden Elixir.
To achieve this, in addition to accumulating enough mana and spiritual Qi, one also needed to comprehend the dilemma of life and death.
Recently, Lin Feng's thoughts had entered a very strange state.
On one hand, he focused all his mind to comprehend the Dao, accumulate spiritual Qi, and polish his mana.
On the other hand, countless messy and disorderly images flashed through Lin Feng's mind. There were all kinds of strange things.
There were the various things he had experienced after coming to the Great Heaven Primordial World, from the confusion and hesitation when he first came to the New World, to the process of taking Tiny Tot and the other three as disciples, and then to the process of searching for Jade Capital Mountain.
Other than that, there were also many memories from his previous life. Some of the things that had been so long ago that he could barely remember clearly, for some reason, had resurfaced in Lin Feng's mind during this period of time. They were clear, detailed, and clear.
Running wildly on the road when he was a child, flirting with his female classmates in elementary school, sweating on the basketball court in middle school, losing sleep the night before the college entrance examination …
The aura around Lin Feng gradually quietened down until it completely disappeared in the end. It was as if his entire person had turned into a corpse, with no signs of life left.
In the next breath, the aura of life returned to Lin Feng's body, and his entire person became alive again.
Nirvana and revival, the two states alternated on Lin Feng's body.
"There is a great horror between life and death." Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes. "Is there a way to resolve this great horror?"
Birth, old age, sickness, and death were all for life.
Success, progress, destruction, and emptiness were all for creation.
After life passed away and creation was annihilated, it did not end there. Instead, it began anew and entered the next cycle.
This cycle repeated without stopping.
The end was for a new beginning.
This kind of unwavering will was the true essence of eternity. There was no one who was forever good or immortal. Instead, after decay and collapse, one would obtain a new life and start anew.
The immortal nature of metal was the embodiment of this kind of unwavering will. It was the key to forming the Golden Elixir.
Whether a cultivator could form the Golden Elixir did not depend on whether they did good or evil, whether they were open-minded or narrow-minded, whether they were virtuous or despicable, and whether they were diligent or lazy.
To form the Golden Elixir, the key was to have an unwavering will and belief. It was to create fearlessness and courage in the face of the great horror between life and death.
With such fearlessness, courage, and perseverance, one could break through the door of undeserved life and death!
A smile suddenly appeared on Lin Feng's face.
"I'm coming."
The magic and spiritual energy in the pill cauldron vibrated at the same time and merged into the Golden Elixir shadow. The shadow suddenly shone brightly.
The golden light gradually turned purple, and from within the purple light, a pleasant celestial sound faintly sounded. It was like a song of salvation, coming from an extremely distant place and filled with the most mysterious principles of the world.
In the center of the purple light, a round Golden Elixir shone brightly.
Lin Feng shouted and stood up. His white feather robe and star crown suddenly turned into flying ash, no longer existing.
With a wave of his hand, endless Cyclic Purple Qi suddenly surged out of the void and surrounded Lin Feng's body.
Lin Feng smiled peacefully and opened his arms. The Cyclic Purple Qi covered his body and then tumbled and changed. Finally, it turned into a purple robe with wide sleeves. It was endless and carefree.
The leaves of the Mystic Heaven Treasure Tree swayed without wind, as if it was happy for Lin Feng.
The Mystic Heaven Treasure Tree, Jade Capital Mountain, and Cyclic Purple Qi.
He could feel that his relationship with the three had reached a new balance, and it was much more stable than before.
Lin Feng smiled coldly. "The uninvited guest outside should have caused enough trouble by now, right?"
