Lin Feng extended his palm forward, then suddenly clenched it tightly.
In that instant, the space before him twisted into a strange, transparent spiral. From the distortion of space alone, it was clear — if that grasp were aimed at a human body, even a Dou Zong expert would instantly collapse into a pool of blood.
Feeling the immense power that could twist space itself with a mere motion, a faint smile slowly appeared on his face.
Now that he had truly stepped into the Dou Zun realm, and with several Heavenly Flames along with various advanced Dou Techniques at his disposal, even against a Five-Star or Six-Star Dou Zun, he had the confidence to seriously wound or even kill them head-on!
Unlike last time, when he had to rely on trickery and catch his opponent off guard to achieve victory by sheer luck, this time he could fight openly.
"This time in seclusion… I wonder how long it's been. I should return to Holy Pill City and take a look."
Lin Feng murmured softly, then waved his hand. A silver vortex brimming with spatial energy suddenly appeared in front of him.
However, judging from the dark spatial ripples constantly appearing around the silver vortex, it was clear that the spatial wormhole Lin Feng created was still somewhat inferior to those formed by veteran Dou Zun experts.
Even so, Lin Feng didn't mind in the slightest. After nodding in satisfaction, he transformed into a stream of light and sped rapidly toward the direction of Holy Pill City.
He estimated that he had already been away for quite a long time. If he didn't return soon, Xiao Yixian and the others would probably start worrying for real. Now that Lin Feng had advanced to Dou Zun, his speed was terrifyingly fast.
In just half a month, he arrived at the gate of a city within the Pill Region. However, when he arrived, he was stunned to discover that the city gate was packed with alchemists — an enormous crowd of them.
The number was so great that the vast open area outside the gate was completely filled with alchemists.
"Strange… why are there so many alchemists gathered here?"
Landing nearby, Lin Feng glanced over the city gate and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
He had passed through this city before when traveling between the Central Region and the Eastern Region. Back then, there were quite a few alchemists here — but compared to now, that was nothing at all.
He had every reason to believe that these alchemists had gathered here for a specific reason. Then suddenly, a thought struck him, and his expression changed slightly. "Don't tell me… the Pill Gathering has already started?"
Thinking of that, Lin Feng quickly flew toward the gate and stopped near a group of alchemists. He grabbed one of them and began asking about the latest events in Holy Pill City.
The alchemist he caught at first looked ready to scold this "rude brat" who didn't know how to respect alchemists —
But when he caught sight of the peak seventh-tier alchemist badge gleaming on Lin Feng's chest, his expression instantly turned respectful, and he hurriedly answered Lin Feng's questions.
After all, he was only a sixth-tier alchemist — how could he afford to offend someone of Lin Feng's level?
From him, Lin Feng learned that the Pill Tower hadn't held the Pill Gathering in the past few days. However, the grand event that occurred once every thirty years was now only three months away.
As for these alchemists, they were all from across the continent, gathering in the Central Region to participate in the Pill Gathering.
"So the Pill Gathering is about to begin, huh… Looks like I'll have to spend this time improving my alchemy skills. If I can't take first place at the Gathering, it'll have a huge impact on my plans."
Realizing that his alchemy had not advanced in quite some time, Lin Feng thought to himself in silence.
Then, without hesitation, he tore open space once more and stepped directly inside. Then, he continued to push forward through the void at full speed, swiftly heading toward the direction of Holy Pill City.
Whoosh!
After flying for several days, a terrifying might suddenly pressed down over the Ye Courtyard. A slender young man slowly emerged from the void, his figure appearing step by step until he hovered high in the air.
As the youth appeared, an extremely frightening aura—like that of a slumbering dragon awakening—began to stir faintly from within his body.
"Who dares to trespass into the Ye Courtyard!"
Not long after that aura was sensed, a thunderous shout resounded across the sky like a sudden explosion.
In the next instant, several dark figures with terrifying pressure shot toward Lin Feng's location at extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, those figures revealed themselves as several old men who surrounded Lin Feng in midair.
Although the three old men's faces looked somewhat youthful, their hair carried strands of gray, faintly revealing a trace of age. Most shocking of all, each of the three possessed a pair of silver-white pupils—a rare sight indeed.
Within those eyes, faint arcs of silver lightning flickered and roamed about, as if declaring to the world that these men were not to be trifled with.
"Oh? Three Six-Star Dou Zun and one Eight-Star Dou Zun. The Ye Clan doesn't have this level of power. You must be Qing'er's trusted aides?"
Sensing the hidden yet powerful aura emanating from them, Lin Feng raised his brows as he spoke.
"Qing'er?"
Hearing this name, the four old men across from him were momentarily stunned.
Then, as realization struck, they roared in anger, "You insolent wretch! How dare you address Young Mistress Feng in such a manner! Hand over your life!"
As their shout fell, intense light burst from their bodies and shot straight into the heavens
."Haah!"
At the same time, the three Six-Star elders let out a fierce cry. In that instant, the energy within their bodies transformed into streams of light that shot directly into the Eight-Star Dou Zun among them.
The Eight-Star elder's strength surged violently!
In less than the blink of an eye, his power had skyrocketed to the peak of Dou Zun. Vaguely, he even seemed to have barely stepped into the realm of the Nine-Change.
"Earth Force Reversing-Heaven Formation."
Seeing that they actually knew how to use this formation, a faint smile finally appeared on Lin Feng's face.
This formation was something he had once given to Xiao Yixian and Feng Qing'er. Now, seeing these elders display it proved that both women had succeeded in mastering it, just as he had planned.
However, the elder opposite him clearly did not recognize Lin Feng and immediately prepared to strike him down.
"Fei Tian, stop!"
But at that very moment, a noble yet faintly cold female voice slowly echoed across the sky.
The elder named Fei Tian froze at the sound. Though confusion filled his heart, he still obeyed the command, halting his attack. Even so, his sharp silver-white pupils remained locked onto Lin Feng with wary vigilance.
