Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 482 - 495-496: Understanding the Situation (Part 2)

The banquet was set up inside the Martial Arts Training Ground of the Green Frost Sect, with a hundred to two hundred tables arranged, already laid out with wine. By the time Lin Feng arrived, the sect members were mostly present.

After briefly observing, Lin Feng noticed there were around two hundred women in the sect, many of whom were quite pretty and delicate. Lin Feng didn’t say much to these people, offering only a cursory compliment before raising his cup for a hearty drink.

To everyone, Lin Feng appeared very easygoing, without a trace of arrogance, making everyone feel he was quite admirable. After a few rounds of drinks, Lin Feng and Ye Suping moved directly to his private courtyard.

This was a courtyard roughly five hundred square meters in size. Although not very large, it was extremely serene, filled with a variety of flowers and grass. At the center of the courtyard stood an artificial mountain, surrounded by a water pool, in which lotus roots were planted.

Although the lotus bloom season had passed, the patches of verdant green lotus leaves offered a very refreshing sensation, especially with some red fish and koi swimming about in the pool.

"This environment is perfect for isolation retreat. I’ve decided to retreat here for a month, and once the sect’s expansion is complete, I’ll marry the three of you. What do you think?" Lin Feng said at this moment.

"You plan to retreat for a month? Are you not going to manage the sect affairs? As a Sect Leader, you have many responsibilities every day. It’s impossible to be a hands-off leader," Ye Suping said.

Lin Feng sat down on a stone platform beside the artificial mountain and said, "How wonderful it would be to chat with a beloved woman in such a peaceful and beautiful environment every day. I’ve longed for such days for a long time, but unfortunately, who knows when they will become a reality."

After speaking, Lin Feng took out several green solids from the Storage Ring, "These are very effective in restoring strength. Do you know where I obtained them?"

"What are these? I feel a strong aura of life," Ye Suping immediately said.

"This is the Source of Energy from the Thousand-Year-Old Tree Demon. You could say acquiring it was a life-threatening encounter; I nearly died at the hands of a Saint Martial Realm expert. Being able to kill Zhang Weiping from the Mist Rain Pavilion this time was indeed lucky. If he had self-detonated, the consequences would be unimaginable," Lin Feng said.

"Self-detonation? Do you think every Saint Martial Realm martial artist can self-detonate? You’re mistaken. It’s extremely difficult for humans to self-detonate, unlike Magical Beasts. Let me be frank, if I were to face a life-and-death situation, it would be impossible for me to self-detonate," Ye Suping said.

Lin Feng looked at her puzzled and asked, "Why do you say that? Is there some restriction on self-detonation?"

"Indeed. It’s well known that to break through to the Saint Martial Realm, one must rely on the powerful energy of the Netherworld Purple Orchid. However, if the Netherworld Purple Orchid forms a purple vein on the Divine Star Pill within a person, it essentially restricts the growth of the Divine Star Pill. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

After reaching the Saint Martial Realm, elevating another power level is extremely difficult. The fruit being auctioned in Huangyang City, which can directly increase a power level, is practically useless to Saint Martial Realm experts; otherwise, do you think you would’ve been able to purchase it?

To self-detonate, one must break through the restriction of the purple vein. With gain comes loss. While Saint Martial Realm experts seem incredibly powerful, each one is constrained. Once the Star Power within the Divine Star Pill is depleted, recovery is very troublesome. No one would be foolish enough to exhaust it entirely unless at the brink of life and death.

Moreover, to self-detonate, one must break through this purple vein. Yet how many can achieve that? Leaving aside the pain, self-detonation means death. But for Magical Beasts, it’s different. As long as a Magical Beast reaches the Eighth Layer of the Divine Martial Realm, an Inner Core will form within, gathering a large amount of Star Power, similar to the Divine Star Pill and the Saint Star Pill within a human.

This is why Magical Beasts can transform into human form, but humans cannot transform into beasts. The self-detonation of a Magical Beast involves detonating the energy within its Inner Core, which holds cataclysmic power. Thus, humans from the Canglan Ancient Land maintain a non-aggression pact with the Magical Beasts of the Magic Beast Forest," Ye Suping explained as if instructing Lin Feng like an elder.

"So that’s how it is. I nearly died from a Magical Beast’s self-detonation once. Do you know the Bear King? It was the Bear King of the South King Hall who self-detonated," Lin Feng said.

"It’s truly admirable that you managed to survive in the Magic Beast Forest. The beasts there generally kill humans on sight. What were you doing in the Magic Beast Forest?" Ye Suping asked.

Lin Feng looked up at the sky with a smile and said, "It’s getting late. We’ve been apart for so many days; don’t you miss me? Let’s discuss any issues after I’ve satisfied you!"

With that, Lin Feng picked Ye Suping up in his arms, startling her as she quickly exclaimed, "Put me down, put me down..."

Lin Suping pinched Lin Feng’s back hard with her hand, and though Lin Feng had incredible defense power, the grip of a Saint Martial Realm expert was enough to affect him, causing him to clench his teeth in silent endurance.

"Lin Feng, can’t you be a bit gentler with me? It’s always so forceful. I truly hate you," Ye Suping said helplessly as she was lifted by Lin Feng.
