Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 708 - 686: Seeing Li Feng Again

The Li Family, mysterious and low-key. In Donglin City, they appeared to be rather inconspicuous, to the extent that few forces even paid attention to the Li Family. Even fewer people knew of their existence. In elite circles, the Li Family was hardly considered influential, yet the major powers of Donglin City were all quite wary of them, never provoking them as if by an unspoken mutual understanding. The disciples of the Li Family rarely showed themselves in public or mingled with the city’s elite young masters.

Unless one truly knew some of the inside stories, mentioning the Li Family would certainly be overlooked.

In a very ordinary villa, which was the base of the Li Family, Tangyu drove up to the place. Standing and looking at the Li Family villa, Tangyu felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, a sensation he couldn’t quite describe—as if he had touched a hint of danger. This made Tangyu inwardly gasp; it seemed the Li Family was indeed not simple, to evoke such a feeling in him. There were always people better than oneself, skies beyond the skies. The mysteries of this world were far beyond his understanding.

Suddenly, Tangyu’s gaze shifted, and he saw a figure walking out—it was none other than Li Feng.

Previously, when Tangyu looked at Li Feng, he couldn’t see anything special, but now his perspective had changed, allowing him to detect some clues. He had never been able to see through Li Feng, and now, though he could partially see through him, it still wasn’t crystal clear, as if an invisible force was blocking his probing. With every step Li Feng took, he moved with a dragon-like stature and tiger-like stride, radiating a vast dominance, as if he was unassailable. His spirit was high and his movements flowed like a practiced dragon, even energizing Tangyu with a mere breath he emitted.

"His strength, I fear, might even surpass mine," Tangyu thought to himself, somewhat startled. He had long confirmed that Li Feng was in the Innate Realm, but now this face-to-face encounter let him understand just how strong Li Feng really was.

Having reached the Innate Realm, his senses had become sharper, vaguely allowing him to discern many things. It was truly marvelous.

Li Feng stood before Tangyu, seemingly having anticipated his arrival with no trace of surprise in his eyes. His gaze fell on Tangyu, still wearing a faint smile, as serene as a gentle breeze and floating clouds. Every move he made was graceful, treating everything as though it were perfectly normal.

Tangyu raised his eyebrows, "You knew I was coming?"

Li Feng elegantly smiled, "It’s not exactly knowing, but I felt something vaguely and detected a visitor, so I came out to greet them. Not bad, it’s been over a month and you have already broken through to the Innate Realm. I had a premonition last time that you would soon break through, but I didn’t expect it to be so much faster than I anticipated. Such a young Innate Realm, indeed a genius worth cultivating." freewebnσvel.cøm

Hearing Li Feng’s understated words, Tangyu immediately felt something, as if his own Innate Realm look nothing special in his eyes.

"I usually don’t visit without a reason, may I know if you’re available now?" Tangyu asked.

Li Feng smiled, "There’s nothing inconvenient, we get along well enough, please."

Li Feng’s friendliness somewhat relieved Tangyu.

Following Li Feng into the villa, it seemed there was no one else inside. They sat down in the living room. The furniture in the living room was all wooden, showing a dignified and ancient style, emitting a very old aura. This style, contrary to the modern villa, appeared a bit mismatched, but the arrangement was nonetheless meticulously done, giving off a very mysterious feeling. At least, Tangyu looked around for a long while before shifting his gaze, inwardly clicking his tongue, curious at the intriguing feeling.

"It’s like the layout subtly conforms to the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams, gathering the righteous qi of heaven and earth. Mysterious, indeed mysterious," Tangyu clicked his tongue in admiration, seeing such a thing for the first time.

Li Feng personally poured a cup of tea for Tangyu and gestured for him to sit.

"You understand this?" Li Feng asked.

Tangyu shook his head. "Not really, I’ve just read some descriptions in books. I never imagined it could be arranged by hand—it’s truly magical and eye-opening. It seems my perspective is still very limited. Even though I have broken through to the Innate Realm, I actually know very little about this area."

Tangyu said this also wanting to learn a bit more from Li Feng, feeling that his master, the Ghost Doctor, definitely couldn’t compare to the profundity of the Li Family.

Li Feng chuckled lightly, "Your master, the Ghost Doctor, is just a Loose Cultivator, not from any Taoist Lineage. Although hundreds of years ago the Holy Doctor Sect was considered a minor Taoist Lineage, it has long since fallen into decay. It’s not strange that you don’t know these things; probably even your master hasn’t reached the Innate Realm, right?"

Tangyu was inwardly astonished; indeed, Li Feng’s words were surprising—these were things he hardly knew about, and the Ghost Doctor seldom discussed them.

"Yes, I fear my master has not yet broken through to the Innate Realm," Tangyu nodded, not hiding it. Given Li Feng’s awareness of much about him, he clearly understood much.

Li Feng said, "I consider us somewhat fated, and I quite admire you. Since you’ve come to seek me out today, let me tell you about our Ancient Martial World."

"Ancient Martial World?" Tangyu felt a slight shock in his heart.

"On the surface, our Earth seems very peaceful, very ordinary. But in reality, our Earth is very complex and has too many secrets unknown to people. You have just broken through to the Innate Realm and now qualify to know some things about the Ancient Martial World. Broadly speaking, Huaxia Country can be divided into ’two worlds.’ One is the mundane world, which includes what is superficially known as Huaxia Country. The other is our Ancient Martial World. Although the current cultivation environment is not ideal and the Martial Path is not promoted, possibly the entire Ancient Martial World’s population does not exceed one hundred thousand, it still forms an independent world of its own. By stepping into the Innate Realm, you can truly be considered a member of the Ancient Martial World."

"What, are you saying there are tens of thousands of people in the Innate Realm?" Tangyu was greatly alarmed, and this was no small shock. Although Tangyu did not delude himself into thinking his current strength was exceptionally strong, hearing that the number of people in the Innate Realm was in the tens of thousands—a number so vast—was hard for Tangyu to accept at the moment. It was terrifying. In the mundane world, not a single one is seen; yet there are so many in the Ancient Martial World? Just thinking about it feels horrifying.

"Many, you think?" Li Feng slightly curled his lip, "In your ears, perhaps many, but in my eyes, very few. Compared to the past, our Ancient Martial World, at its strongest, had numbers reaching into the millions, even tens of millions. Now, being reduced to tens of thousands, it’s significantly declined."

"Hundreds of thousands to tens of millions." Tangyu clicked his tongue again. What kind of era was that?

It was completely beyond imagination.

But if there were so many ancient martial artists before, why didn’t they leave any trace in history? Imagine, if hundreds of thousands of masters in the Innate Realm formed an army, what terrifying force that would be? Perhaps the entire world could have been conquered.

Tangyu found that Li Feng’s words opened a door for him, revealing how deficient his understanding of the world was.

"Great eras no longer exist; our survival in the Ancient Martial Realm is extremely difficult. The Innate Realm was originally just the entry realm of ancient martial arts, but now it has become very hard to reach. Not to mention pursuing higher realms, such as the legendary Path of the Immortals." Li Feng’s words also carried some melancholy and sadness.

"Path of the Immortals?" Upon hearing this, Tangyu almost stood up in shock.

So there really is a Path of the Immortals. Could it be that the legends are real?

A few simple sentences had caused Tangyu’s blood to boil and his eyes to blaze with passion. In his life, he pursued only a few lofty things: medicine, martial arts, and women.

But men are all passionate warriors. At this moment, he realized that his pursuit of martial arts was the most fervent. The Path of the Immortals, achieving immortality, living free and easy, having the same lifespan as heaven and earth—what kind of myth was that? The thought alone was infinitely enticing.

Life is so fleeting. Who wouldn’t want to explore the Path of the Immortals, break free from bonds, and reach a new realm?

Cultivating to Immortality, how many people dream of that?

"Could it be that there really are immortals in this world?" Tangyu felt somewhat dry in the mouth.

Li Feng was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly, his brow furrowing slightly, giving off a somewhat grave tone, "I cannot answer that question for you. Indeed, I have also been pursuing this question, but have always failed to obtain a clear answer. Perhaps there are, perhaps there are not. But the Path of the Immortals must exist and is what all martial artists in the Ancient Martial World pursue for their entire lives. The Path of the Immortals, who wouldn’t want to tread upon it? Yet, the Path of the Immortals has always been merely a legend, even thousands of years ago. There are many legends about the Path of the Immortals, but all are elusive and inconclusive. The way to immortality is vague; maybe only by reaching that point, can one truly know whether immortals exist in this world or not."

Has the Path of the Immortals always been just a legend?

But since such legends exist, they might be possible.

"Li Feng, how is the Ancient Martial World divided?" Tangyu thought for a moment and then asked. He admittedly knew nothing about the Ancient Martial World.

Now that he had reached this stage, it was natural for him to understand the Ancient Martial World. After explaining this matter, perhaps he too would embark on a journey to pursue higher realms, even the legendary Path of the Immortals.

Li Feng said, "Temporarily speaking, the Ancient Martial Realm can be divided into three major levels or three distributions of power. At the peak are those sects with long heritages. These sects possess divine skills and reside in their own Skies Beyond the Skies, hidden indefinitely from the mundane dust, undisturbed and able to focus solely on cultivation, pursuing the Path of the Immortals. As far as I know, there are Nine Great Skies Beyond the Skies, like the Kunlun Sky Beyond the Skies."

"Skies Beyond the Skies?" Tangyu was again startled, the name itself sounding incredible.

"As for the Skies Beyond the Skies, they are actually individual small worlds independently forged by the Supreme Deities of the past with their divine skills. The so-called ’a mustard seed, a world,’ is probably what this means. These Skies Beyond the Skies cannot be found in the mundane world, and even the people of the Ancient Martial World do not know where these Skies Beyond the Skies are. I am only aware of their existence but do not know their locations. Even if I knew where they were, I couldn’t enter. The Nine Great Skies Beyond the Skies are the supreme forces of the Ancient Martial Realm. However, these Skies Beyond the Skies generally no longer involve themselves with the affairs of the Ancient Martial World and often remain in a state of closure, as if they have already transcended this world," Li Feng explained.
