The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 462 Return to the Great Sage Realm

At this point, Elder Tong sighed softly, seemingly lost in memories, and then fell silent.

However, based on his past experiences with Elder Tong, Feng Ling deduced:
Elder Tong must have been teleported to the vicinity of the Cangmang Mountains and found a secluded and beautiful place to rest, which is now the Yuqing Sect, where he disguised himself as an ordinary sapling to recuperate.

And during this period of recuperation, thousands of years passed, the sun and moon traversed the land... It watched coldly as generations of forces that came to occupy the mountain and establish sects were driven away, until Feng Ling appeared.

"Elder Tong, could it be that the old ghost of Songshan has the same cultivation level as you, and has also reached the realm of gods?"

Feng Ling suddenly asked, and Elder Tong subconsciously nodded and hummed in agreement.

Then it shook its head again, "Yes and no! At least Old Ghost Songshan is not worthy of being called a god!"

Immediately afterward, Elder Tong seemed to realize what was happening and laughed, "You brat, you actually managed to trick me into revealing information by taking advantage of my distraction with just a few words? Who would have thought that I had never revealed that my cultivation level was once at the God level! And that old ghost from Songshan is truly my nemesis; even his name has offended me, needlessly distracting my mind!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling smiled but remained silent, his gaze fixed intently on what Elder Tong would say next.

Seeing this, Elder Tong's expression immediately turned serious. "I know that you currently consider yourself a demigod, and it's inevitable that you've developed a strong interest in the secrets of the divine realm. However, until you break the seals of the first four divine mountains, recover to the demigod realm, and truly master the power of the demigod realm, I will not reveal a single detail! Furthermore, you should reflect carefully and remember: rapid advancement in your realm is not necessarily a good thing, and you must not be overly ambitious!"

"I'm sorry, Elder Tong, you're right. I was just momentarily lost in thought!"

Feng Ling seemed to be awakened by Tong Lao's words. He suddenly raised his eyes and stared blankly at the first ray of purple-gold sunlight blooming on the distant horizon.

Half a year ago, under the backlash of the Demon Jade, Feng Ling's cultivation reached the first step of the three-step process of demigod [orthodox order], namely: he condensed the Dharma image of heaven and earth. However, despite making several attacks, he failed to kill Ji Sheng and Xiang Qiubai!
One reason for this is unfamiliarity with and lack of adaptation to the application of the laws of heaven and earth;

The second main reason is that he has not had time to hone his foundation and his foundation is not solid. As a result, although he has the cultivation of a demigod, his realm is superficial and he cannot control his output, thus wasting most of his energy.

Thinking about it carefully, when Feng Ling broke through to the legendary realm before, he also lacked control over his strength when he attacked, and now he is facing the same situation.

"Whoosh~ whoosh!"

Suddenly, on the celestial barrier, clusters of black and white clouds emerged and rose, occasionally jostling and colliding with each other, bringing about changes in light and shadow, creating a myriad of phenomena.

Immediately, rays of purple-gold sunlight slanted down through the gaps in the clouds, enveloping Feng Ling's body. He then let out a soft whistle, "Break!"

In an instant, the divine power within Feng Ling's body surged and roared like a raging sea.

At the same time, the loosened seal on the first Mount Sumeru, the sacred mountain that separated the mortal and saintly realms, was finally broken!
"Swish!"

Two plum blossom marks, shimmering with deep purple light, appeared between Feng Ling's brows and vanished in an instant. Meanwhile, the rays of purple-gold sunlight enveloping Feng Ling's body were instantly absorbed by a golden-red phantom emanating from his skin.

Great Sage Realm - Initial Peak?
Feng Ling took a quick look and felt incredibly refreshed and invigorated under the cleansing power of the divine energy, as if he had inexhaustible energy.

Because of the Spirit Infusion Inheritance, when Feng Ling first advanced to the Great Saint Realm, he directly skipped the time-consuming, laborious, and rather troublesome step of capturing sixteen level-sixteen Great Ghosts or Great Saint Ghost Spirits.

This time, however, it's about breaking the seal within the body and returning to the Great Sage Realm, so it's the same.

Furthermore, the path to upgrading a Saint Realm expert, Epic Overlord, usually focuses on tempering the spirit with Divine Stones, while refining the body with Ghost Stones is relatively unimportant.

However, Feng Ling's difference from ordinary Great Saints stemmed from his sudden rise to the level of a demigod.

He no longer needed the God Stone to temper his spirit, because when he overcame the inner demon tribulation brought by the Demon Jade, the tribulation had already helped him complete the tempering of his spirit, achieving the peak divine sense of a demigod.

However, the Demon Stone is essential for body tempering. Whether it is to improve the nascent divine body, temper the body's strength, or break the seal on the seven Sumeru Mountains, it mainly relies on the Demon Stone, and there are few suitable substitutes.

In conclusion, a strong and robust body is the foundation for long-term spiritual practice!
"Not bad, not bad at all! You've actually condensed a rudimentary divine body! Perhaps it's because of your six months of rest and slumber that your body has undergone some strange changes while it's repairing itself, due to the seal of the divine mountain!"

As Elder Tong watched Feng Ling conceal his illusory form, his eyes were filled with admiration.

Little did it know that Xingzhai Demon Prince deserves the greatest credit for Feng Ling's ability to condense this nascent divine body!
Feng Ling didn't offer any further explanation, but smiled and nodded before looking up at the sky.

"Having distributed clouds earlier, Ye Xing and the others should be back to report for duty by now. Let's go, Elder Tong, and take a look at the resources of our Ghostly Holy City!"

As they talked, the black cloud mount materialized, and Feng Ling and Elder Tong leaped onto it, standing side by side.

Immediately, the black cloud mount carrying the human and the demon sped off towards the joint office of the ten city lords: the Ten City Government Office.

Along the way, the patrolling city defense teams glanced up at it only once before looking away as if nothing had happened.

Every time a creature hatches, it's a new beginning...

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages and saints offer you a pure land for your souls.
