By the time Ling Dong received the palm-sized 100-year Stone Fungus from the Feng Clan's Patriarch, Feng Qingzhang, it was already evening. Ling Dong was personally escorted out by Feng Wanlie. While sending Ling Dong off, Feng Wanlie seemed to treat Ling Dong with a lot more respect.
The north wind howled. It was as cold as a knife. The snow that was blown up by the north wind filled the sky. There seemed to be an indescribable sense of desolation in the world.
Ling Dong, however, straightened his back and strode forward.
When he received the 100-year Stone Fungus, Ling Dong's mood suddenly relaxed. As long as his grandfather, Ling Dong, could break through to the Earth Realm, Ling Dong's chances of dealing with the calamity of the Ling Clan's destruction would be greater.
What made Ling Dong rather worried was that until now, he still hadn't found the reason why the Ling family was annihilated. Ling Dong believed that there was no such thing as hatred or love without reason in this world. There had to be a reason for the Ling family's annihilation.
Ling Dong had only grasped a few clues at the moment, but it was just a few clues.
Amidst the howling wind, the two strings of Death Wind Lanterns at the entrance of the Ling family's mansion were swaying wildly in the north wind. As the lanterns swayed, countless snowflakes howled around them. However, the lanterns were still extremely bright and wouldn't be extinguished no matter what.
Ling Dong, who was staring at the two strings of Death Wind Lanterns, was suddenly startled. He seemed to have thought of something and stood there in a daze.
He didn't even blink. In his eyes, there was only the Death Wind Lanterns that were swaying wildly in the north wind but still wouldn't be extinguished. It was as if the Death Wind Lanterns were the only thing left in the world. It was also as if the Death Wind Lanterns were the most enchanting beauties. He was entranced by them.
The weather was cold and the night was freezing. The guards of the Ling family didn't notice Ling Dong, who was standing there in a daze. They also didn't notice that after a while, Ling Dong's body suddenly twisted at a strange angle.
If someone were to observe carefully, they would discover that Ling Dong's strange twisting body gave off the feeling of a dying wind lamp being blown to pieces.
The rhythm of the shaking was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and the angle was sometimes left and sometimes right. However, this kind of extremely irregular rotation was rotating in the form of a circle, and the frequency was also increasing.
Suddenly, as Ling Dong's body swayed crazily, one after another, arcs of Azure Dipper appeared around Ling Dong's body. As Ling Dong's body swayed, the arcs of Azure Dipper continuously revolved around Ling Dong's body.
Not long after, more and more of these arcs of Azure Dipper appeared, almost forming a curtain of light. Like a cocoon, it completely protected Ling Dong's body.
What was even stranger was that Ling Dong, who was protected by the cocoon of arcs of Azure Dipper, the hair at the back of his head that was being blown wildly by the north wind suddenly seemed to stop. Other than swaying along with Ling Dong's body, it was no longer blown by the wild north wind.
In front of the arcs of Azure Dipper, not even the north wind could blow in!
The corners of his clothes, which were originally fluttering incessantly due to the north wind, also seemed to be in a windless environment. They only swayed along with Ling Dong's movements.
Within the cocoon of arcs of Azure Dipper that appeared along with Ling Dong's swaying, there wasn't a single snowflake or a trace of the north wind.
Regardless of whether it was the wild north wind or the snowflakes, when they approached the arcs of Azure Dipper, they all invisibly slipped away.
A withered yellow leaf that came out of nowhere was carried by the wild northern wind to the cocoon-shaped arc of Green Dipper around Ling Dong. At this moment, the cocoon-shaped arc of Green Dipper seemed to have been activated to the extreme, and the insides of the cocoon-shaped arc of Green Dipper actually emitted crackling sounds.
The withered yellow leaf that just got close to the arcs of Azure Dipper was instantly shattered the moment it got close. Not a single trace of it could be found between heaven and earth.
"Eh? What's that?" At this moment, the guard at the entrance of the Ling family's mansion, Ling Yu, noticed the figure that was crazily dancing a few dozen meters away. He also noticed that the dancing figure was gradually rotating the surrounding snow and wind at an inexplicable frequency.
In just a few breaths, a gigantic funnel of snow and wind was formed. The funnel of snow and wind was expanding with every passing second. Within the funnel of snow and wind, green light exploded, and crackling sounds kept coming out.
At this moment, Ling Dong was in a strange state. His mind was still filled with the scene of the infuriating wind lamp being blown by the endless north wind, but there was a strange change happening within his body.
The miniature arcs of Azure Dipper within his body were crazily rotating along with the funnel of snow and wind outside his body. With every rotation, they were expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye! Every time the funnel of snow and wind outside his body resonated with the miniature arcs of Azure Dipper within his body, a large amount of Heaven and Earth's Gang Energy would be sent into Ling Dong's body.
After passing through the layer of arcs of Azure Dipper around Ling Dong's body, the originally tyrannical Heaven and Earth's Gang Energy suddenly became gentle. The huge amount of gentle Heaven and Earth's Gang Energy crazily flowed into Ling Dong's body, expanding Ling Dong's meridians and strengthening the miniature arcs of Azure Dipper within Ling Dong's body.
If the miniature arcs of Azure Dipper within Ling Dong's body continued to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, it wouldn't be long before Ling Dong broke through to Houtian Realm Level Nine. It was even possible for him to reach the pinnacle of Houtian Realm!
Ling Dong's current state was a rare moment of enlightenment for warriors who cultivated Heaven and Earth's Gang Energy! According to legends, there were many people who could reach the pinnacle of Earth Emanations after a single moment of enlightenment.
However, due to the expansion of the miniature arcs of Azure Dipper within Ling Dong's body, the funnel of snow and wind inside his body also became bigger and bigger. Finally, it attracted the attention of the Ling family's guards!
"Who, who's there! This is the Ling family's residence. Idle people must not be rash! "One of the guards gathered his courage and shouted!
With a loud shout, Ling Dong immediately returned to his original state from that mysterious state!
With an explosive 'pa' sound, the Snow Wind Dipper outside of Ling Dong's body was like a broken skeleton, suddenly losing its support. A thick layer of powdery snow formed around Ling Dong's body.
The layer of cocoon-shaped arcs of Azure Dipper around his body also dissipated as Ling Dong's body stopped swaying.
In an instant, the wild northern wind once again blew Ling Dong's hair into a mess. The corners of his clothes fluttered loudly.
With Ling Dong's experience, he naturally knew what kind of situation he was in just now. It was a rare moment of enlightenment for warriors who cultivated Heaven and Earth's Gang Energy. In his previous life, he was three hundred years old and had experienced countless things. However, he had never experienced such a moment of enlightenment. It was clear how precious such a moment of enlightenment was.
Ling Dong believed that if it weren't for the guard's shout just now, which caused him to be immersed in that state, he would have broken through to Houtian Realm Level Nine today. It was even possible for him to break through to the Xiantian Realm.
Unfortunately, it was interrupted!
However, Ling Dong didn't find trouble with the guard. This kind of thing was an opportunity, and it couldn't be forced. Furthermore, Ling Dong had more important things to do!
He wanted to recall and try his best to remember the feeling just now. The memory of his body, the frequency of his body swaying, and so on.
The short moment of enlightenment just now allowed Ling Dong's cultivation to take a huge step towards Houtian Realm Level Nine. It also expanded Ling Dong's meridians by quite a bit. At the very least, it shortened the time needed for Ling Dong to break through to Houtian Realm Level Nine by half. However, Ling Dong felt that the most precious thing wasn't the increase in cultivation, but the strange movement just now!
To be precise, Ling Dong's body movements, which had a strange rhythm and frequency from the swaying trajectory of the Death of Qi Lantern, had simultaneously stimulated the miniature Heaven and Earth Dipper within his body!
In an extremely natural state, those movements had stimulated the Heaven and Earth Dipper within Ling Dong's body. Furthermore, it had increased and mutated to a large extent.
Movements that could increase or mutate one's Heaven and Earth Dipper were all called battle techniques!
Therefore, that strange movement was a battle technique. Furthermore, from Ling Dong's point of view, it should be a battle technique that was both offensive and defensive. Usually, battle techniques that were comprehended were extremely powerful. They were much more powerful than the battle techniques created by warriors with high cultivation.
Why was that? Because such battle techniques that were comprehended during a moment of enlightenment were completely instinctive movements made by warriors when they were in harmony with heaven and earth. They were the most compatible with the laws of heaven and earth. They were the closest to nature and were most compatible with the laws of heaven and earth. Naturally, their power would be great.
At this moment, the group of guards at the entrance of the Ling family was about to go forward and investigate in detail. Suddenly, a figure darted out from the gatehouse and stopped the guards. "Don't go, don't go. That's my Young Master. I'll go over!"
When Gao Yuan went over, he was careful not to disturb his Young Master. He could clearly see that his Young Master's gaze was in a daze, as if he was recalling something. Therefore, he waited there silently.
His body began to sway gently at an extremely strange angle. However, the sway this time did not feel as smooth as before. It was extremely unnatural and awkward!
Frowning, Ling Dong shifted his gaze away from the wind lantern and closed his eyes lightly. The scene from before began to replay in his mind.
Ling Dong's body also began to sway slowly in a strange rhythm and manner.
Gao Yuan, who was watching from the side, also frowned. What was his Young Master doing?
Gao Yuan only saw one thing. His Young Master's awkward sway seemed to be becoming more and more pleasing to the eye. It felt as if he should sway in that way.
After a long time, rings of arcs of Azure Dipper suddenly appeared around Ling Dong's body, which had become more and more natural in that strange rhythm and manner.
In an instant, a cocoon-shaped arc of Azure Dipper appeared around Ling Dong's body again. The wind and snow could not penetrate it at all!
"Hahahaha!" Ling Dong, who had completely memorized the battle technique that he had comprehended, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. At the same time, a drop of turbid tear rolled down from the corner of his eye!
As the saying goes, good preparation leads to good results! However, this post came a little late!
