Chapter 218: Earth Fusion (1/2)

“How strange.” whispered the middle-aged man. At that moment, Lin Feng was giving him an extraordinary impression.

When looking at Lin Feng’s back, he had the feeling he was looking at a celestial being, Lin Feng made his heartbeat race. Was Lin Feng really the person Zi Yi was talking about?

“Has he come to the Zi Wei Mountain Village to become a servant or is it because he doesn’t care about what we think of him and seeks to advance his cultivation?” thought the middle-aged man. On the continent, it wasn’t uncommon for disciples belonging to powerful clans to practice cultivation on a journey. Some of them went to war and gained experience on the battlefield while others degraded themselves to become slaves to test their determination, to change their state of mind. The middle-aged man thought that Lin Feng probably belonged to the second category.

Otherwise, that young man would unlikely be standing there while controlling the Qi of heaven and earth. How could he become a servant and clean the garden in a small mountain village?

The middle-aged man took a step and then started walking slowly towards Lin Feng. However, he was walking very carefully trying not to make any sound, he was afraid that he would interrupt Lin Feng.

At that moment, Lin Feng’s state of mind was as limpid as water. He was absolutely lost in his thoughts not paying attention to his surroundings.

“On that day, when I reached my current state, around my body was battle energy, ice energy and sword energy… before I made all the energy fuse together. Why did it become sword energy, why didn’t it become ice energy or battle energy?” Lin Feng kept asking himself thousands of questions.

“A sword can have sword force, a blade can have blade force, a sword can be used to carry out an energy attack just like a blade. When a cultivator masters the sword, they can fuse with their sword, when they master the blade, they can fuse together with their blade: well, what about the other types of energy?”

“For example, a moment ago, the leaf was floating on the wind, however a leaf has leaf force; when the wind controlling the leaf has wind force. Force is present in all things and can be used for energy attacks and fused. Swords and blades are not the only things which produce force, it should be possible to fuse with all of the ten thousand things of creation.” Lin Feng felt like he had realized something. He suddenly gained enlightenment.

Lin Feng raised his hand in the air and slashed it though the air, like a shadow, his movement was invisible. Suddenly, a leaf was cut into hundreds of pieces which floated through the air.

Even though Lin Feng was closing his eyes, he had a feeling of absolute control, as if he could control everything around him. He had the same feeling as when he was using his spirit, but it was different to some extent.

When he used his spirit, his entire world became darkness but at that moment, it seemed like he had fused together with the earth. He could clearly perceive everything that was happening around him.

In the manuals of cultivation, it was said that cultivation depended on your awareness level and your advancement. As far as awareness is concerned, if you wanted to open the door which lead to the truth of the universe, first, you had to become one with the earth.

“Become one with the earth!” thought Lin Feng. He opened his eyes and a faint smile appeared on his face. He wasn’t overjoyed and didn’t look arrogant either. At that moment, Lin Feng looked ordinary yet magnificent.

He had reached another dimension of cultivation, which was in perfect harmony with his path of cultivation.

Lin Feng turned around and looked at the middle-aged man who wasn’t standing very far from him, Lin Feng smiled at him. That smile made the middle-aged man feel unworthy.

“Young cultivator!” said the middle-aged man. His voice was filled with respect.

Lin Feng looked at the middle-aged man and nodded as a sign of politeness.

“Young cultivator, my daughters are extremely rash and immature. I, Zi Nan, have come here to apologize. I hope that you can forgive my daughters.” said the middle-aged man while slightly bowing. How could his daughters call this young man a nobody? Even though his adopted daughter had talent, her behaviour was unacceptable in front of such a talented young man.

“My name is Lin Feng. I do not blame them, but the world we live in. Coming to this village was my own decision.” replied Lin Feng indifferently. For having been able to penetrate into the dimension earth fusion, Lin Feng should be thankful to Zi Ling and Zi Yi for having brought him to the Zi Wei Mountain Village. He was a servant there for a few days, while sweeping the garden, his heart felt peaceful and serene. He could calmly occupy himself with his current cultivation problems which enabled him to break through the final barrier.

If Zi Ling hadn’t picked him up on the roadside, Lin Feng didn’t know what might have happened.

Penetrating into the earth fusion dimension was an extremely rare thing. If Lin Feng had really penetrated into it, it was by relying on luck.

When Zi Nan heard Lin Feng, he was sure that he had guessed correctly. Lin Feng was certainly the disciple of a powerful clan who had left home to practice cultivation. There was absolutely no doubt about it.

“Is there a cultivation room in the village? If you have one, please let me use it.” Said Lin Feng.

“Of course.” immediately replied Zi Nan and then added: “Young cultivator, please follow me.”
