Chapter 499: Breaking The Door
Lin Feng arrived several thousand meters below the precipice in the valley and struck the cliff three times, a rumbling sound emerged and an opening was revealed. That was precisely the place where Lin Feng had escaped the massacre with Protector Bei.
The winged tiger was surprised and its eyes were twinkling unceasingly. That cliff surprisingly had a hidden cave with secrets inside.
“Let’s go in.” Said Lin Feng in a low voice to the winged tiger which spread its wings and immediately entered into the cave. It contained the Qi of an ancient temple which was hidden since ancient times.
There were some paintings and sculptures of phoenixes and dragons, there were gigantic pillars with carvings of ancient beasts, it had a very mysterious aura.
The winged tiger roared while looking towards a wall. Lin Feng looked at what the winged tiger had seen and was suddenly astonished, there was a painting of an ancient ferocious beast, and it was a winged tiger! The winged tiger in the painting had greenish wings which blotted out the sky. Its ancient ferocious Qi seemed terrifying, and its fur was like thorns all over its body which looked terrifying! It seemed like only brushing its fur would cost you and arm.
“That is an authentic ancient ferocious beast… It looks dignified, majestic and incredibly violent.” Thought Lin Feng. Even though his own winged tiger was incredible, it was far from being as majestic and as powerful as the winged tiger in the painting.
“All the ferocious beasts in the paintings here are incredibly powerful. That winged tiger in the picture seemed dignified and majestic. The ones who built that temple must have been incredibly strong.” Thought Lin Feng while looking at the paintings of the various beasts. If the one who built that temple had never seen those ferocious beasts, he would have never captured their aura and Qi so well. Each painting looked like it was an actual beast.
Lin Feng walked through the temple and saw the lamps which seemed like they could never be extinguished. He felt a strange feeling from within himself, he was really wondering who could have built such a mysterious temple. Could it have been built by a cultivator of the Zun Qi layer just like the one who had built the forbidden palace of the Zi Government? This might be his tomb just like in the Zi Government, a place where a Zun cultivator had gone to die.
But that was just Lin Feng’s thoughts and it only crossed his mind for a second. He immediately walked towards a green door which was the same one he wasn’t able to open when he was last here. His winged tiger remained by his side.
That door made from carved jade was gigantic and still seemed extremely solid. Lin Feng had come to the Yun Hai Mountain Chain to see if he had the power required to open the door. If he managed to open it, maybe he would discover some incredible secrets and gain access to some ancient knowledge.
That ancient temple was a secret, there was probably a reason for that.
“Qiong Qi, try to open that door by attacking it.” Said Lin Feng to his winged tiger. At that moment, even though the winged tiger was only a level two Xuan beast, its body was already extremely strong and its physical power was incredible. If it used its full strength to attack the door, maybe it would work.
“RROOAAARRR…” The winged tiger roared and started to gather momentum, it was slowly moving backwards as it prepared to leap. Its two gigantic eyes looked ice-cold, it was staring the door made from jade.
“ROAAR!” The winged tiger roared furiously, it started beating its wings, it flickered and dashed against the door with all of its power.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM!” A heavy sound filled the air and resonated throughout the temple. It was unceasing but the door didn’t move, just like a mountain. The door wasn’t even shaking.
The winged tiger beat its wings again and moved back, its claws were scratching the ground as it tried to gather more speed. Its two ferocious-looking eyes were still fiercely staring at the door, it didn’t want to give up.
“Qiong Qi is just as stubborn as a human. Xuan level beasts had the intelligence of a young adult. When they reached the Tian level, there was no longer a difference between them and humans in terms of intelligence.” Thought Lin Feng when he saw how stubborn the winged tiger was. The winged tiger dashed against the door once again, it significantly increased its speed and attacked with even more brutality.
“BZZZZZZZ…….” A buzzing sound resonated through the entire temple and the shock was so intense that the winged tiger bounced away from the door and rolled across the ground. There was blood on the tiger’s forehead where it attacked the door with all of its momentum and the door attacked back.
It seemed like that door had counterattacked, the more violent the attack, the more brutal the counterattack. However, the winged tiger still couldn’t open that door.
The winged tiger crawled up from the ground and roared again, it didn’t feel like giving up and didn’t care about the injury.
“Let me try.” Said Lin Feng. The winged tiger turned its head and looked at Lin Feng, it then nodded reluctantly and moved aside. It wanted to know if Lin Feng would be able to break the annoying door.
Lin Feng stared at that gigantic door and took a deep breath. Since he had dealt with all the things in the Imperial City, he felt much more relaxed and his mind was more peaceful. He had come to the temple alone on purpose, he didn’t want anyone else to know about the temple’s existence. After all, back then, Protector Bei told him that even Nan Gong Ling didn’t know about the temple, only the protectors of the sect knew of its existence.
