Chapter 493: What is your age

Lin Feng closed his eyes for a moment to control his emotions. What he had heard just now was really enough to shake his beliefs. If the immortality that he wanted came with the price of getting manipulated by Heaven, then it didn’t seem to be enticing anymore. He heard her voice again.

"After pondering on it, Ji Rui and I decided to see if there was any chance to break through this curse.

Actually, if we hadn’t tried to gain immortality, then we were already on the right path. I had broken the limit slightly, achieving the strength equivalent to those who had mastered a Supreme Dao, while Ji Rui had also done the same, becoming the strongest Dao Ancestor since the Primordial Times. That’s why her title is Primordial Empress, much to her dislike... hehehe.

Ji Rui is the most talented genius to ever exist. Her comprehension ability is unbelievable, so much that I felt mediocre in front of her. She is also gifted with a Supreme Physique of Chaos... It wouldn’t be wrong to say that if Heaven really fears someone, then it would be her. After all, Chaos is the opposite of what Heavens truly is..."

Lin Feng’s eyes widened hearing the praise and the term Chaos Physique. If it was said by the Sword Sovereign, then he could only imagine how talented this senior Ji Rui really was.

To think that someone have already achieved the peak of chaos what he was aiming for..

"After thinking it through, we found that there were only two possible ways to break this curse. One was to lose this mark in a fair challenge, and the other was to challenge Heaven by comprehending the unseen path while still holding immortality.

I chose the former since I was certain that I would not be able to gain any insights against the will of Heaven, while Ji Rui chose the latter as she wasn’t afraid of challenging the Heavenly will, not after it had irked her by giving her this hidden curse.

Now you understand why I felt relieved losing this mark..,"

Lin Feng sighed before bowing toward her, "I am grateful to you for telling me all this, senior..."

This information had made him understand many hidden things which he might never have known otherwise. He had to think about his dream thoroughly now. He couldn’t blindly chase immortality if it meant doing Heaven’s bidding.

"There is no need for that. If it were someone else, I wouldn’t have bothered even talking to them. When Xiu’er mentioned that an Initiation Realm cultivator had achieved Battle Sense, I didn’t want to believe it, but knowing that she wouldn’t lie to me, not to mention that I can see through lies, I asked her to bring you to me... Who would have thought that I would meet someone like you? It is still hard to believe that the Eternal Dao Lotus has taken root in a human’s Soul Sea. I am not even able to comprehend the true value of your current physique..."

Lin Feng himself didn’t know what kind of benefits he would receive. He was certain of one thing, it would be anything but ordinary.

"Let’s forget about everything else for some time. You can ponder on my words in peace and decide for yourself what is right for you... Now tell me how you passed the restriction of reincarnation."

Lin Feng nodded and began recounting what he remembered.

"Senior, I used a Dream Dao treasure to preserve all of my memories within a dream and sealed it inside my Soul Sea so I could carry it with me. To prevent the Heavenly Law from detecting it, I concealed it using the Dao of Concealment.

I wasn’t totally sure if it would work or not, but it was the only way left for me, so I just took the gamble... In the end, I succeeded."

"Interesting, the Heavenly Law must have been satisfied with erasing your real memories, so it must have become complacent..."

Lin Feng felt that to be the case too.

"Now for the last part, do you really have Battle Sense?"

Lin Feng nodded.

"Impressive... I can only imagine the hellish path you must have walked to achieve it..."

Lin Feng gave a small smile. He had to agree on that. His previous life before reaching the peak was hellish in its own way.

"Tell me one more thing, what was your age before you went through reincarnation?"

Lin Feng furrowed his brows as he didn’t remember the exact age either. After all, age was meaningless for cultivators like them, "Around fifteen to twenty thousand years..."

Lin Feng waited for her to say something, but she didn’t respond immediately. Only after a few breaths did she speak.

"You didn’t lie to me. You really believe that your age was below twenty thousand years. That means you achieved the peak in less than twenty thousand years... Just what kind of monstrous comprehension talent do you have?"

Lin Feng could feel the genuine surprise in her tone, and he understood why. He really did have supreme comprehension talent, although he didn’t know if it was truly unmatched, "Senior, I failed to perceive if there was anything beyond the peak, so I am sure that I am still nowhere near you..."

"What kind of nonsense is that? It took me more than thirty thousand years just to catch a glimpse of that path, let alone walk it. And yet you, who have lived for less than twenty thousand years, have the audacity to claim you’ve failed? How much time did you even devote to it? Five hundred years? A thousand?"

Lin Feng felt a little embarrassed when he heard that. He hadn’t even given it a hundred years before giving up on it. He felt that there really was no hope. It was best not to mention it or she might lash out at him.

"Whatever... The reason why I asked your age is because I never thought Xiu’er would associate herself with a man. She even went ahead and took a promise from me not to intimidate you. That was unusual behavior from her.

If you were truly old, then I wouldn’t have let you stay near Xiu’er, but since you are just a young boy in my terms, you have my approval."
