Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#403 - The Art of Enlightenment

As he observed, Li Chengfeng seemed to enter a wondrous state, with countless runes and formations flowing around his body, dancing with his movements, as if merging with him.

The paper-man monster, tightly bound by chains and unable to move, was enraged by this sight, emitting strange roars, attempting to disrupt everything.

However, he ultimately suppressed his impulse, knowing that enlightenment was a rare opportunity for cultivators, and the consequences of interruption were unimaginable.

The old monster pondered, feeling anger and unease at Li Chengfeng's actions, but also realizing this was a rare opportunity.

He dared not act rashly, fearing that failure would not only cost him leverage for negotiation with Li Chengfeng but also completely enrage him.

He could only observe secretly, contemplating how to deal with this sudden turn of events.

Li Chengfeng, on the other hand, was completely immersed in comprehending the formations. The old monster knew that this forbidden art differed from cultivation methods, requiring extremely high talent and comprehension for breakthroughs, so he ignored it, thinking about how to scheme against this young man.

In Li Chengfeng's mind, two images intertwined: one was the seal of the ghostly spring, and the other was the deep-sea formation he was currently observing.

Although different in form, both contained similar intricacies and power, except that the runes of the ghostly spring were more delicate, while those here were slightly rougher.

But it was this roughness that revealed the grandeur and power of its sealing based on the entire Xuan Guang Continent's dragon veins.

This discovery made Li Chengfeng suddenly realize why the Demon Clan and the Evil Dragon Society had fought for hundreds of years on the Xuan Guang Continent but had never succeeded.

It turned out that they were trying to find dragon veins to build larger altars and transport more experts, but they did not expect that the entire Xuan Guang Continent's dragon veins had been hidden by a special forbidden technique.

If Li Chengfeng hadn't been touched by chance, this secret would have remained dormant.

Thinking of this, Li Chengfeng's expression became solemn.

He began to carefully savor the similarities and differences between these two types of seals and forbidden techniques: one focused on sealing the enemy, creating pain and torment; the other focused on attack, directly inflicting devastating blows on the enemy through the formation.

Although the purposes were different, both were inseparable from the ingenious application of formations, which gave him a deeper understanding of the art of formations.

As his thoughts surged, the power within Li Chengfeng seemed to be summoned by something, beginning to surge within him.

He unconsciously raised his finger and lightly inscribed in the air, each movement revealing his deep understanding and control of the forbidden technique.

As his movements accelerated, formations burst forth from his fingertips, seemingly simple and ordinary, yet containing astonishing spirituality and power.

With a light wave of his finger, a huge flame restriction broke through the air and flew into the distance, displaying amazing destructive power.

Several forbidden techniques flowed continuously from Li Chengfeng's fingertips, his understanding and application of restrictions having reached an unprecedented height.

The old monster witnessed all of this from the side, his heart filled with shock.

He had originally been planning how to deal with Li Chengfeng, but he had never expected that this young man could so skillfully cast forbidden techniques on his first contact with the forbidden art.

This talent and strength made him feel both fear and a glimmer of hope—if Li Chengfeng could really thoroughly study the formation that sealed him, then his hope of breaking free might be pinned on this young man.

The old monster's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He began to re-examine Li Chengfeng and secretly prayed that the other party could successfully unlock the forbidden technique that bound him.

After all, although the Gold Devouring Bugs had gnawed at the chains that locked him, no one could guarantee that this would not trigger other, more dangerous forbidden techniques.

At this time, the old monster's heart was filled with trepidation about the unknown and a yearning for freedom, and all of this was pinned on Li Chengfeng.
