Lin Feng didn't ask himself too many questions. All in all, he had an opportunity to become stronger so practicing cultivation was the best thing he could do now. He would benefit from Emperor Shi and Emperor Yu's paintings.
Lin Feng walked to the center of the room and sat down cross-legged taking out his Tian Xuan stone. Lin Feng sensed all the energies of the paintings distinctly.
Lin Feng visualized the emperor with the ax, his ice-cold eyes, it seemed like he could crush people's souls with his eyes. It was as if nobody dared look him in the eyes. There were definitely many things to study in there.
Lin Feng opened his book spirit.
Lin Feng sensed his surroundings distinctly, clearly and slowly, visualizing all the paintings. He could only manage this task slowly. He was realizing how terrifying those paintings were while slowly familiarizing himself with them. The energies were becoming even more intense. If Lin Feng was careless, the paintings would attack him.
After a long time, Lin Feng opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
He had used his awareness to study the paintings, but the longer he studied them, the more terrifying the energies became. So he decided to take a break.
"I can only study one painting at a time. If I managed to study them all, it would be incredible for my cultivation." whispered Lin Feng.
Actually, he really wanted to study only one of them in detail and master it. But in the end, he did things differently. It was such a rare opportunity that he had to make things compact. Studying them all a little was beneficial as well.
Very soon after, Lin Feng started studying again using his Tian Xuan stone and his spirit. He was slowly becoming stronger. Studying imperial teachings could only make him stronger.
Besides, those weren't ordinary portraits, they were portraits of emperors which contained essential aspects of their own cultivation.
After nineteen days, Lin Feng was still sitting there and he didn't know how much time had passed.
"Bzzz!" A strength appeared in the room and the Qi became increasingly intense. It turned into a whirlwind and slowly condensed around Lin Feng.
"Eh?"
Lin Feng sensed the energies and opened his eyes.
What was going on?
Lin Feng didn't understand. What a terrifying strength.
He frowned. Could it be a sign that he had to leave the place?
"Towards the massacre place, at all costs, come out alive!" said a mysterious voice at that moment.
Massacre palace? At all costs, come out alive?
That voice wasn't Mu Chen's voice. They had probably sentenced the candidates for their last exam.
Many people were going to die inside, but the survivors would become imperial cultivation disciples.
The energies surrounded Lin Feng as he realized that the voice was echoing. He lowered his head and realized he wasn't in the palace anymore. He was in a terrifying empty space full of energy. There were many people under him and they were all surrounded by the energies as well.
"Bzzz!" Lin Feng had the feeling he was in a space, like the path to mysterious world where the Jade Emperor's palace was.
"Boom boom!" Lin Feng fell down on the ground and he suddenly felt like all his bones were going to break.
"Where am I?" thought Lin Feng. There were pale lights and an evil Qi. It was strangely cold as well.
"Desolate Qi! I can sense some desolate Qi!" Lin Feng sensed desolate Qi very clearly, especially since he had absorbed it before using his bestial consciousness.
"The energy which brought me here was extremely powerful, maybe it brought me millions of kilometers away from Tiantai."
Massacre place… That place was probably where the final exam would take place.
"How to finish the exam though?" thought Lin Feng. Where are the thousands of people he saw in space while being brought there? They were probably all in that mysterious place with him.
Lin Feng started walking, without knowing exactly where he was going. He just wanted to see if anyone else was there and how big that place was.
He was very cold. Had that place undergone a massacre?
"Slash!" Lin Feng heard a sharp sound and he was suddenly surrounded by deadly energies.
He felt ice-cold. People had died there and he was certain of it now. That energy was so cold that it seemed like it could kill people without any resistance. They could just wait for death.
"How could I die here?" thought Lin Feng feeling determined. He suddenly released some energies.
"Die!" shouted Lin Feng furiously while turning around. The soundwaves produced by his voice contained demonic energies and made the entire atmosphere shake.
"Slash, slash…" subtle sounds spread in the air as Lin Feng was surrounded by those piercingly cold energies. It was as if he could see other people there. At that moment, a dagger filled with ice-cold energies moved towards him.
"Piss off!" Lin Feng raised his hand and punched it
"Boom boom!" Lin Feng's punch reached a person, who then turned around and ran towards a forest.
"Third Tian Qi layer!" Lin Feng used his Xiao Yao agility technique and moved extremely quickly to chase that person. That person had managed to hide their Qi. It probably wasn't someone who was sent there with him.
