Chương 241: Wu Kong's departure

"Master, I understand. But what are these dragons? Why are they inside my Dantian? What happened to me that caused me to lose consciousness and fight you?" Long Feng couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked. These were merely the beginning of his questions. He had much more. But these were the most crucial right now. Wu Kong was silent for a minute before he turned to Long Feng and stared into his eyes.

Long Feng instantly felt as though the world around him had faded, replaced by a completely golden world all around him. When he blinked, it was gone and Wu Kong had looked away again.

"Some things are beyond your imaginations. Merely telling you about them would cause your mind to collapse as your soul faded into oblivion." He softly said. Long Feng's expression instantly froze. What exactly was this? That he couldn't even hear about them?

"I can tell you a few things to relieve your curiosity right now. But everything else, you'll have to find out as you grow stronger. When you're strong enough, everything will be revealed to you" Wu Kong added calmly. Long Feng took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

"Those are not dragons. Neither are they separate existences. They are a single being, an existence called the Chaos Spirit. Separately though, they are called the Three Chaos Sources. They can take the form of any being they wish, and their current form is that of a dragon" Wu Kong paused when he noticed that Long Feng's expression was suddenly blank. When he stopped speaking, Long Feng's face returned to normal, just a bit pale than before. His heart was also filled with inexplicable dread.

The moment Wu Kong mentioned the Chaos Spirit and the fact that the three existences were one, his mind suddenly went blank. He had a feeling that if Wu Kong hadn't stopped and continued speaking, his mind would have truly collapsed! Long Feng's heart was beating so fast that it was as though it would burst out of his chest.

"You're far too weak. A mortal can't withstand these knowledge. You would be dead before I said anything much." Wu Kong slowly said. Long Feng didn't doubt his words in the slightest. This experience just now was enough to terrify him.

"Then… who are you master? And who is your master? How did I lose consciousness? And why would I fight you?" Long Feng calmed down and tried to ask another set of questions.

"Your overwhelming rage caused you to lose control of your emotions and state of mind which revealed a flaw in your soul. A strand of the Chaos Spirit's consciousness took control of your body which resulted in you falling unconscious. As for the reason behind our fight… it's similarly beyond what you can handle. My identity is even more so. As for my Master… forget it" Wu Kong slowly replied. Long Feng was left speechless.

He actually hasn't learned anything useful, nor had he gotten any true answer to any of his questions.

"Well what can I know now master? What can I withstand knowing?" Long Feng decided to ask in a roundabout way. If Wu Kong knew what he could handle, then it would be better for him to explain himself.

"That is all you can know without exploding to death. This isn't a matter of mere cultivation but state of existence entirely. Currently, you're a mere mortal. Until you shed your mortal form, there is nothing you can know without dying. Your state of being simply is too weak, too fragile to withstand the greatest mysteries of this world" Wu Kong explained, leaving Long Feng astounded. He was a mere Mortal? Then at what stage could he shed his mortality?

Wu Kong could tell what was on his mind and answered before he could ask"In order to barely be considered as having shed your base mortality, you must become a Spirit, otherwise known as the Dao realm and beyond. And even that isn't enough for you if you wish to have your questions answered. You need strength beyond your wildest imaginations. Only then can you be worthy" Long Feng almost cursed out. Even the Dao realm and beyond we're not enough? In that case, what realm was required? Did those realms even existed?

But remembering Wu Kong's mythical strength, he could only forcefully believe that such world destroying strength did exist. But… could be reach those ridiculous levels of power? Strength that seemed more like gods? The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. Merely the spirit realm was already giving him a headache. The Dao realm was so far away already. Beyond it were simply dreams to him. And even beyond those?

"You should also know, I'm truly leaving this time. Suppressing the Chaos Spirit had forced me to reveal my existence. If I don't leave soon, a great calamity will befall this world of yours." Wu Kong slowly added. Long Feng was startled but not surprised. He already knew that it wasn't realistic for him to expect that Wu Kong would stay with him forever. It was impossible.

"Listen to me closely. I told you about the legacies my master left behind. Now, I'll grant you the most important one to you" Wu Kong said calmly, causing Long Feng's breathing to pause and his heart to seize beating for a second. Then great expectation and excitement filled him as he paid full attention. The legacy of Wu Kong's master! The more he came to understand how heaven defying Wu Kong's strength was, the more he was terrified of someone who could become his master. How strong would that person be?

How did he die? And his legacies must be absolutely peerless. Long Feng couldn't keep his heart calm as he waited patiently.

"In that center of this world, you should find somewhere called the Eternal Void Land. In that place, you will find what you need the most. But mind you, you shouldn't cultivate any of the Cultivation Manuals you come across before then, no matter how tempting they seem to you" Long Feng was speechless. He expected the legacy to be something he would receive immediately, maybe a godly cultivation manual or skill. But it was actually a location he was to head to? And the center of this world? Where was that?

The four regions? And then… he couldn't cultivate any manual? Was Wu Kong messing with him?

"But master, it's Impossibly hard to become a deity without cultivating any manual. Not to mention the further realms ahead…" Long Feng replied bitterly.

"It's hard, not impossible. I already told you, your path is different, more difficult. And you must find this path and walk it alone. Cultivating any manual would cause far greater consequences to you than you can imagine. The manual that is suited for you is in the Eternal Void Land. Find it and claim it. Do not cultivate anything else" Wu Kong warned seriously. Long Feng had never seen Wu Kong with such a serious expression and he couldn't help but nod.

"Also, remember this. The heavenly path isn't your path. Being recognized by the Dao might lead you to great power, but there's a state above that. And that is to recognize the Dao yourself, form your own Dao. This is the only way for you. You will understand it when you need to" Wu Kong added softly. Long Feng sat there, utterly speechless. He came to get his questions answered but got none and was instead filled with so much more questions that he couldn't get the answer to. This feeling was quite frustrating.

"Get strong fast. You don't have much time. The next time we meet, I hope you'll be powerful enough to stand strong in the vast Nine Heavens" Wu Kong slowly said. Long Feng didn't even ask what was the Nine Heavens. He would probably hear the same answer that he was too weak, a mere mortal.

"You're leaving now?" He asked quietly. Wu Kong glanced up, his gaze penetrating the starry sky and Long Feng's Dantian, staring Into the dark heaven.

"That's right. It's time for me to leave." He slowly rose to his feet. Long Feng also stood up, staring at Wu Kong with some reluctance. Wu Kong glanced at him emotionlessly then vanished completely, leaving his faint voice echoing through Long Feng's mind"You're far too weak now. Too weak to even control your own destiny. Till we meet again" Long Feng's consciousness abruptly returned to his body and he opened his eyes, revealing his complicated gaze.

"Goodbye master. Till we meet again" He didn't know when that would be or if it was even possible. But he wouldn't give up because of that. He had a new goal, and that was to become strong enough to control his fate, strong enough to unravel the mysteries surrounding him, strong enough to surprise Wu Kong.

"Ha! I haven't even reached the spirit realm yet. Time to try out master's method." Long Feng sighed and cleared his thoughts. He sent his consciousness back into his Dantian and got as close as he could to the demon dragon without drawing it's attention, or it didn't even care about his puny existence. His transparent figure sat cross legged in the space and he stared deeply at the demon dragon as it galloped around. An incense stick worth of time passed yet Long Feng felt nothing.

Frowning, he thought that Maybe he was taking on too much. So he decided to focus merely on the dark aura seeping out of the dragon's endless body. Five minutes… ten minutes… Long Feng's mind was blank, filled with no thoughts other than the endless darkness he could see.

"Darkness… Demons are just part of this endless darkness that fills the world, the darkness in one's heart. Dark emotions fuels the demon in the heart, feeds it. Rage, hatred, killing intent, I can focus all of these emotions into my Dao to strengthen it…" as Long Feng muttered softly, his demon energy surged out of his body and surrounded him, covering his figure. A silent ripple emerged from this demon energy and it's density and power greatly increased compared to before.

Also, it actually broke through to rank six demon concept level. Long Feng would have been exhilarated to notice this, after all his sword Dao had been advance yet his demon Dao remained stuck at rank 5. Improving the demon Dao proved to be very challenging to him. But now, after just a few minutes before this demon dragon, he actually got enlightened and made a breakthrough! But he was still in that blank state, so he didn't notice this.

An hour later, the demon energy around him raged and got even stronger than before. Rank seven demon concept! This speed of comprehension was unbelievable! His demon energy was now a single level beneath his sword Dao! Long Feng remained unmoving for another half an hour before his eyes brightened and he regained his clarity. After feeling confused for a bit, he sensed the power of his demon energy and was shocked. It was far stronger than before!

"This is unbelievable! How long did I seat for?" Long Feng was suddenly worried that he might have been blank for a day maybe. But when he left his Dantian and saw that it was still dark, not even midnight yet, he was speechless.

"Amazing! Just comprehending a tiny bit of it's energy for about an hour has such shocking effects? This dragon is a divine treasure!" Long Feng's eyes began to glow as he stared at this demon dragon. His sword Dao had the Firmament Sword Art and the memory he inherited from the Firmament Sword Saint's soul fragment to become stronger. But that was making his demon Dao to lag behind. He was worried about this as if the difference between the two Daos was too large, he would be unable to use the demon sword.

Yet now, that worry was gone! With this demon dragon, Long Feng was worried that it was his sword Dao that would soon be lagging behind!

"With these, my Daos are basically certain to reach the peak concept level soon and push me to the brink of the Dao intent stage!" Long Feng laughed loudly in excitement. To think he had such wondrous Dao comprehension treasures in his Dantian all along! Yet he didn't ever think to use them? But it wasn't too late. He moved his gaze from the demon dragon to the Azure dragon that was surrounded by brilliant light that seemed holy.

"Light… master said I have to master both. In that case, I suppose they'll have to be at the same level to avoid one suppressing the other" Long Feng analyzed as he stared at the Azure dragon. Just a while ago, he was worried about how he would comprehend and raise the Light or Immortal Dao to the same level as the demon Dao in a short time. But now with this Azure dragon, that wasn't an issue anymore.

At the speed which he increased his demon energy, then he should be able to comprehend the light Dao to the same level as the demon Dao in a few days. Long Feng didn't immediately begin. Instead, he waited until the next morning and found his father and Li Yue'er, informing them that he would go into seclusion for a few days.

After doing that to ensure that they wouldn't be worried later on, he returned to his Dantian and sat down cross legged far away from the Azure dragon, focusing on the dazzlingly brilliant light coming off from it's body.
