I, a centenarian, sweep through the gates of immortality.

Now that he had decided where he was going, Lin Feng decided not to delay any longer.

He gave Qin Yuening many pills and then said...

"After this parting, who knows when we will meet again? Take care."

Qin Yuening looked at Lin Feng, and her eyes became involuntarily clouded.

Although she and Lin Feng hadn't known each other for long, after going through life-and-death trials together, they had developed feelings for each other.

She silently put away the pills Lin Feng had given her, moved closer to him, and kissed him on the cheek.

Lin Feng was also stunned, but he quickly came to his senses and said something else.

Forget about me.

After saying that, Lin Feng took Yan Shiyuan and left without looking back.

Qin Yuening looked in the direction Lin Feng had gone, and her heart trembled.

She came from the Demonic Sect of Extreme Desire, so logically speaking, emotions were very cheap to her.

But it was precisely because she came from the Demonic Sect that she knew even more how precious this bond of sharing life and death was.

It's so rare to find someone willing to risk their life to save you.

She touched her lips, which still seemed to retain the warmth of her kiss with Lin Feng, and murmured.

How could I forget you?

Yan Shiyuan stayed by Lin Feng's side without saying a word. Only after she was sure they were far away did she look at Lin Feng and speak.

"Master, do you have genuine feelings for her?"

Lin Feng paused for a moment before speaking.

"There are many kinds of feelings."

Lin Feng's words were meaningful. Yan Shiyuan was still young and didn't understand what Lin Feng meant for a moment. He nodded as if he understood, and wanted to ask more questions.

Lin Feng waved his hand decisively and said.

"Never mind, let's get going."

Yan Shiyuan shrugged, said nothing more, and silently followed Lin Feng forward.

The sect Liu Qingqing belonged to was extremely far from Zhongzhou, located in the Eastern Wilderness, which was thousands of miles away. In addition, Lin Feng and Yan Shiyuan needed to hide their identities and could not unleash their full cultivation, so they wasted a lot of time on the journey. After traveling for more than a month, the two finally arrived at the border of the Eastern Wilderness.

Lin Feng had never been here before and was completely unfamiliar with the situation.

Fortunately, Yan Shiyuan was a local. Looking at the familiar mountains and rivers around him, Yan Shiyuan said with great joy.

"We've finally arrived in the Eastern Wilderness."

"Master, we no longer need to hide our identities."

There are many sects in the world. Although the famous sects in Zhongzhou and Donghuang have some connections, they have very little contact. Xuanming and others' wanted notices will not spread to Donghuang in a short time, so they no longer need to hide their identities.

Lin Feng also breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly.

"Thinking back on this journey of hiding and running, it must have been really frustrating."

"Now that you've arrived in the Eastern Wilderness, you should know the way back. You probably don't need me to take you anymore."

Although Lin Feng did not say it explicitly, Yan Shiyuan fully understood Lin Feng's intention.

I still don't want to see Liu Qingqing.

Yan Shiyuan had no choice but to accept that he couldn't force the issue, so he asked Lin Feng to escort him for a while longer, while he went to Liu Qingqing's sect alone.

After confirming that Yan Shiyuan had been safely escorted to the door and that there was no immediate safety risk, Lin Feng turned and left.

After Yan Shiyuan returned to Liu Qingqing's sect, he was overjoyed and shouted repeatedly.

"Master! Master! I'm back!"

At this moment, Liu Qingqing was also in a state of panic, worrying about how to protect herself. Suddenly, she heard someone making a commotion in the sect. She rushed out immediately and found that it was Yan Shiyuan. He was stunned for a moment and then said in surprise.

"Shiyuan, weren't you kidnapped by the Demonic Sect? How did you get back?"

Since Yan Shiyuan's accident, Liu Qingqing had searched for him many times, but to no avail, and she had already given up hope.

After all, being kidnapped by the Demonic Sect, there is probably little hope of survival.

To his surprise, Yan Shiyuan actually returned alive, which was truly astonishing.

She checked Yan Shiyuan and found that he wasn't seriously injured, so she breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile.

"Shiyuan, what exactly happened? You were captured by the Demonic Sect, how did you escape?"

Yan Shiyuan did not hide anything and told the whole story of his encounter with Lin Feng in Lingyuan.

He recounted in detail how Lin Feng saved him and how he escaped from Sighing City.

Upon hearing Lin Feng's name, Liu Qingqing's joy vanished, replaced by a complex expression.

She felt guilty towards Lin Feng, and for so many years, she had always kept him in her heart.

But she knew very well that Lin Feng was just an ordinary person, and no matter how deep their feelings were, they would eventually be worn down by time.

Therefore, she has never gone to look for Lin Feng in the past hundred years.

To her surprise, Lin Feng had also begun cultivating, and his cultivation level seemed to be no weaker than hers. This was truly astonishing.

"Is he...is he alright now?"

Liu Qingqing asked timidly.

Yan Shiyuan replied somewhat helplessly.

"Not good."

"Lin Feng has been constantly being hunted down. The main reason he is unwilling to come to you, Master, is that he doesn't want to cause you any trouble."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingqing turned her gaze to the distance, her expression becoming even more complicated.

After seeing Yan Shiyuan off, Lin Feng casually found a town and settled down there.

Lin Feng had already scouted the area beforehand. There were no cultivators in the town, and many merchants and travelers passed by. No one noticed Lin Feng, this stranger who had suddenly appeared.

After confirming that it was absolutely safe, Lin Feng settled in and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"This place is absolutely safe, so I'll stay here for now and improve my cultivation."

"After mobilizing the power of the remnant soul of the Underworld Emperor, I have already reached the strength of the Core Formation stage or above, but the cultivation of my original body is too weak."

"I must form my core as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have a hard time winning against those truly powerful individuals."

Having decided what to do next, Lin Feng didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately began cultivating on his own.

Previously in the City of Sighs, Lin Feng's jade pendant had absorbed enough spiritual energy, and it was now extremely abundant.

Lin Feng summoned the little Pixiu, intending for it to devour the spiritual energy with him.

"Little guy, it's been a long time since you've absorbed spiritual energy, hasn't it?"

"Eeya!"

The little Pixiu nestled beside Lin Feng, cooing softly.

Lin Feng smiled and activated the jade pendant, releasing all the spiritual energy accumulated inside.

The little Pixiu lay on Lin Feng's lap, the two of them absorbing spiritual energy in a state of deep absorption.

Lin Feng has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, and is only one step away from breaking through.

"Core Formation!"

This is Lin Feng's first attempt to break through to the Core Formation stage.

Endless spiritual energy roared within Lin Feng's dantian.
