Chapter 321 Idiot’s Dream
A few minutes later, Chao Bufan withdrew his right hand and wiped the large beads of sweat from his forehead. Although it had only been a few minutes, he felt that this time it was more strenuous than usual, after all, Lin Feng's strength was on the same level as his. After wiping away the sweat, Chao Bufan slumped onto the sofa, panting heavily. Seeing that Lin Feng had finished his practice, he asked, "How do you feel?"
Lin Feng was deeply moved and secretly vowed that he would follow Yu Chao Bufan in this life in order to repay the great kindness he had shown him. He quickly changed from sitting cross-legged to kneeling on both knees and said, "Thank you, Master. I feel very good."
Chao Bufan grunted in agreement and said seriously, "As the saying goes, 'The master leads you through the door, but the cultivation is up to you.' This is all I can do to help you right now. Find some time to properly digest what I've taught you, and come and ask me if there's anything you don't understand."
Lin Feng listened attentively and respectfully replied, "Yes, Master."
"As the ancients said, 'Diligence leads to success, while idleness leads to ruin.' Another saying goes, 'Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you'll fall behind.' So, you must remember, never forget to cultivate yourself, but also never forget to present yourself well. After all, the world is vast, and there are countless cultivators. You have such a strong connection with the Buddhist realm, so there must be others who have already entered the underworld and other realms. You must know how to disguise yourself well, and never unwittingly become someone else's stepping stone, understand?"
"Master, I understand."
"Furthermore, everything in the world has its inherent destiny, which we must not force or change."
“Master, I understand that everything in the world has its inherent balance, and I know what is permissible and what is not.”
"Okay, good to know. Get up."
"Thank you, Master! Master, you just said that there are countless cultivators in HX. Is that true?"
"Yes, among those I know, there are tens of thousands."
"Wow! So many!"
"Yes, just in HX alone, there are so many reclusive cultivators. I think there are countless cultivators in Western countries as well."
Lin Feng sighed, “Before I came into contact with cultivation, we ordinary mortals were like frogs in a well, thinking that ‘cultivation’ was just an illusion, utter nonsense. Since I came into contact with this, I’ve realized that we common folk are not only frogs in a well, but also like ants. Take that mural of the Buddha, for example. Before, no matter how much I appreciated it, I saw nothing wrong with it. But that day, after Master imparted the Dao to me, when I looked at that mural again, my feeling was different.”
Chao Bufan smiled and said, "This is the difference between cultivators and mortals. Cultivators' comprehension, perception, and vision are far superior to those of mortals. Even the lifespan of cultivators is longer than that of mortals. This is beyond doubt. Moreover, ordinary people simply cannot enter such places."
“Master, everything I have now was given to me by you. You are my second parents. From now on, I am willing to follow you and serve you faithfully without any disloyalty. If one day I ever harbor any disloyalty, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death.”
Chao Bufan smiled and said, "I know you mean what you mean, but there's no need to make it sound so serious. Right now, quite a few cultivators from the West have infiltrated our HX, trying to overthrow our cultivation world. What are your thoughts on this?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng thought for a moment and then replied, "Master, I think they are delusional. HX has a long history and civilization. Although it has gone through countless dynasties, with periods of division and reunification, HX's foundation and civilization remain. Anyone who tries to change HX's fate will pay the price with their life. Master, as long as I am here, I will make sure they never return."
"Things aren't as simple as you think. We've had a fortuitous encounter, and so have others. Perhaps their strength even surpasses that of you and me, master and disciple. Therefore, we cannot let our guard down. Lin Feng, I'm now entrusting you with a very important task."
"Yes, Master."
"Your teacher needs you to go and protect Fangfang and the others right now."
"Fang... what happened to Master's wife?"
"It's nothing. She and her sisters helped me form an all-female legion, and we're currently on a dangerous mission!"
Lin Feng didn't dare ask what the mission was, and said, "Master, please tell me their address, and I will go to protect them immediately."
"They should be near the border between our HX and YN empires right now. Go there now, and remember, don't help them directly. Just protect them from the shadows. I want them to get some more experience."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "Yes, Master, then this disciple will take his leave!"
"Okay, go ahead! Be careful."
"Yes, Master."
With that, Lin Feng turned and left. Immediately afterward, He Yifei walked in with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Young Master, why do I feel like this Uncle Lin is acting a bit strange?"
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan asked with a smile, "Oh? What's strange about him?"
"Young Master, I feel I can see through this Uncle Lin Feng more and more. Just now, I sensed an extremely powerful energy fluctuation within him. It was terrifying!"
"Hehe, his cultivation level is now at the same level as mine, so of course the energy fluctuations within his body are stronger."
"Ah?" He Yifei was startled and said, "Young Master, then his cultivation level has reached the early stage of the Human Realm?"
Chao Bufan nodded and smiled, saying, "Yes."
He Yifei shook her head and clicked her tongue, saying with envy, "Tsk tsk, you guys are all monsters. The early stage of the Human Realm is terrifying."
Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "There's nothing to envy about this. One day, you will reach this level as well."
If she hadn't encountered someone extraordinary, He Yifei wouldn't have dared to have such a delusional idea. But now, this seemingly unattainable thought was no longer out of reach. She believed him, completely believed him, yet she still paled and said, "Young Master, please don't joke around. I'm only at the early stage of the Profound Realm right now. To reach the Human Realm is undoubtedly a pipe dream. I'm well aware of that."
Chao Bufan smiled again and said, "How can this be called wishful thinking? Don't worry, with enough effort, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle. With me here, anything is possible! Let's go!"
