Chapter 736: Chapter 736 Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely And Removes Clothes Instantly
Or should Dao Lord Cloud Piercer preserve it for something more important?
The temptation was enormous.
Knowing what existed beyond the Dao Overlord Realm could potentially give him a direction that he had never possessed before.
But at the same time, he had already received an enormous amount of enlightenment from Lin Feng’s previous words.
Perhaps knowing the exact names of the realms was not as important as understanding the principle behind them.
He continued eating.
Minutes passed.
Then an hour.
Then another.
Lin Feng did not rush him.
Li Ruoxi and Jiang Feiyan also quietly enjoyed the feast.
Eventually, three hours passed before the meal finally came to an end.
Dao Lord Cloud Piercer placed his utensils down.
His expression had become calm.
There was no longer the same excitement in his eyes as before.
Instead, there was a trace of clarity that had not been there earlier.
"Senior Lin Feng," he finally said.
Lin Feng looked at him.
"This junior has been enlightened."
Dao Lord Cloud Piercer stood and bowed deeply.
"Thank you, Senior."
Lin Feng smiled slightly.
The old Dao Lord had clearly made his decision.
"This junior will not waste the second favor simply to satisfy his curiosity."
He straightened his back and looked directly at Lin Feng.
"For my second favor, I would like to exchange some pointers with you, Senior."
The moment those words left his mouth, the atmosphere in the mansion subtly changed.
Dao Lord Cloud Piercer’s eyes burned with determination.
"I want to experience the gap between myself and the High Heaven for the first time in my life."
He had never fought someone who stood beyond his understanding.
He had never experienced what truly existed above the Dao Overlord Realm.
And now, the opportunity was standing directly in front of him.
He did not ask Lin Feng to teach him a technique.
He did not ask for a treasure.
He did not ask for an increase in cultivation.
He wanted to experience that difference personally.
Only by experiencing the gap with his own body could he truly understand how far he still had to go.
Dao Lord Cloud Piercer clenched his fists slightly.
"For millions of years, I have always believed that I stood at the peak of the cultivation world." ℯ
A faint smile appeared on his ancient face.
"Today, Senior has shown this junior that the sky I once believed was the highest was merely the beginning of another journey."
He bowed once again.
"So please, Senior Lin Feng."
"Allow this junior to experience that sky for himself."
Several breaths later, Lin Feng answered.
"I can let you experience it," Lin Feng said calmly. "But you should understand the danger beforehand."
Dao Lord Cloud Piercer’s expression became serious.
"You may become discouraged when you realize just how enormous the gap between us truly is. After cultivating for millions of years, you have already reached the highest realm you know. Seeing someone far beyond that realm may make you question everything you have accomplished."
Lin Feng paused before continuing.
"But that is not what I want you to take from this."
His eyes became slightly more profound.
"Use this experience to give yourself hope. Let it strengthen your resolve and push you forward through the chaotic ocean of cultivation. The path ahead may be longer and more difficult than you ever imagined, but knowing that a higher realm exists is not something to fear."
Lin Feng then stood up.
"Prepare yourself. Most importantly, guard your Dao heart well."
Dao Lord Cloud Piercer’s expression became solemn.
"I hear you, Senior Lin Feng. I will keep your words close to my heart!"
He immediately stood as well and faced Lin Feng.
The old Dao Overlord’s aura gradually became more restrained as he prepared himself.
His ancient eyes were filled with determination.
He had lived for millions of years.
He had survived countless battles and tribulations.
His Dao heart had already been tempered through an unimaginable number of experiences.
But this time was different.
He was about to face an existence standing at a realm he had never even imagined.
"Are you ready?" Lin Feng asked.
His hands remained casually behind his back.
"I am," Dao Lord Cloud Piercer replied firmly. "Please guide this lowly junior, Senior Lin Feng."
The moment his words fell, Lin Feng moved.
He did not take a step.
He did not release any terrifying aura.
He merely brought his right hand out from behind his back and raised one finger.
Then he pointed.
To Dao Lord Cloud Piercer, the movement seemed unbelievably slow.
He could clearly see Lin Feng’s finger moving toward him.
Yet something was terribly wrong.
He could not dodge.
He could not retreat.
He could not even move a single finger.
It was as though the entire world had suddenly lost its meaning.
Space seemed frozen.
Time seemed to slow to an almost nonexistent crawl.
Dao Lord Cloud Piercer’s pupils contracted violently as he desperately tried to react.
But before he could even complete a single thought, a breath had already passed.
Tap.
Lin Feng’s finger gently touched his forehead.
That was all.
Lin Feng remained standing exactly where he had been.
Dao Lord Cloud Piercer also remained standing in the same position.
There had been no earth-shaking explosion.
No devastating shockwave.
No magnificent technique.
Just a simple touch of a finger. ⅇ
Yet the ancient Dao Overlord’s mind was already trembling.
"How...?"
Dao Lord Cloud Piercer’s eyes widened.
He had clearly seen the finger approaching.
He had been fully prepared.
His entire body had been prepared to respond.
And yet he had still been unable to react.
The realization sent a chill through his entire soul.
"This... is power returning to the basics?"
His heart was filled with shock.
He suddenly understood something terrifying.
Lin Feng had not needed an elaborate technique.
He had not needed a powerful divine art.
He had not needed to unleash his cultivation.
He had simply pointed his finger.
Yet that single movement contained a level of profundity that Dao Lord Cloud Piercer could not comprehend.
