305 - After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

**The Ninth Life as a Villain, All Heroines Have Blackened - Chapter 305** But hiding it? He felt that no matter where he hid them, it wouldn't be truly safe. Thus, he decided to be straightforward and destroyed all the valuables! At the end of his autobiography, the elusive cultivator added: "Careless! The spiritual energy in the Central Region is too thin, there’s no way to endure until becoming an Emperor..." "What kind of weirdo is this?!" Lin Feng threw the autobiography to the ground, cursing loudly. After enduring countless hardships and sustaining severe injuries, he thought he had stumbled upon great fortune, only to meet a complete idiot! He was fuming with anger! This guy even in death wouldn’t let anyone benefit from him? Not only was he evasive, but he was also stingy! Lin Feng, seething, almost stormed off. However, the old man of Heavenly Secrets had a different idea: "This man was naturally cautious and adept in the way of evasion. Why would he leave behind an autobiography, exposing his life? I think..." "Think?" Lin Feng pressed. "This autobiography is likely a smokescreen! He must have left an inheritance, but is using this method to test if the finder is compatible with his way of evasion!" The old man of Heavenly Secrets said with certainty. "Makes sense!" Lin Feng realized. "So where do you think he left the inheritance?" "I have already scanned this area with divine sense, there are no hidden doors or secret chambers; the inheritance must be on his body!" The old man of Heavenly Secrets concluded. "But I’ve searched everywhere on his body! I can't just cut him open, can I?" "No, there’s one place you haven't searched!" "Where?" "......" The old man of Heavenly Secrets didn’t answer directly but drifted out of Lin Feng’s ancient spirit ring. After circling the corpse of the evasive cultivator a few times, he raised his hand and pointed. Lin Feng followed the direction of the fingertip. Initially, he was confused, but soon his eyes widened in disbelief! Because what the old man was pointing at was the place for excreting waste! "You mean I have to..." Lin Feng’s mouth twitched. "Dig!" the old man of Heavenly Secrets replied. "Can't I just cut him open?" "No, this man is cautious; to do so would undoubtedly trigger a bigger trap! Only by digging is it safe!" "..." **Chapter 302 - Among all paths, the Way of Evasion comes first** Lin Feng really dug in. Though he gagged while doing it, he ultimately did it. The good news was, he truly found a spirit ring. The bad news was. He began questioning life, questioning whether such actions befit his identity as the Chosen One... This introspection lasted several days. With encouragement from the old man of Heavenly Secrets, Lin Feng finally pulled himself together and started examining the spirit ring he had dug out. What he saw filled Lin Feng with ecstasy! Inside the ring, besides a high-grade pill and a jade slip recording the "Secrets of Evasion," there was an exceptional body movement technique and rare forging materials! "It wasn't easy!" Lin Feng raised his head, tears streaming down his face. The old man of Heavenly Secrets was also filled with mixed emotions. In his thousand years of living, it was his first time seeing someone obtain fortune this way, and the person was still the Chosen One! How to say... Pretty impressive? After a brief moment of emotion, Lin Feng turned his attention to the high-grade pill. He recognized the pill as the "Barrier Breaking Pill," which could help cultivators at the late Tianyuan stage break through to the Upper Four Realms! The pill was of the eighth grade, with no side effects, not even those from Dan Ancient Pagoda! It was exactly what Lin Feng needed at that moment! Once he broke through to the Upper Four Realms, he could escape from the bottom of the cliff, and even if Qing Ning and Mu Kui were still waiting above, he would no longer be afraid! "Haha!" Lin Feng laughed aloud. After confirming with the old man of Heavenly Secrets that there were no issues with the pill, he consumed it. It only took a moment for him to feel the spiritual energy within and around him start to surge, signaling an impending breakthrough! Lin Feng dared not delay and immediately sat cross-legged to meditate. ...... Days passed in the blink of an eye. "Hahaha!!" Lin Feng’s laughter echoed in the cavern. Under the guidance of the old man of Heavenly Secrets and with his own relentless effort, he finally bridged the gap, becoming a cultivator of the Upper Four Realms! His strength saw a qualitative leap! He secretly estimated. At this moment, his combat prowess could now rival that of Xiao Bai! Though Xiao Bai was the Demonic Tiger of Six Hells, Lin Feng had mastered ancient techniques and perfected the blade path, making their powers comparable! "Old man, with my current strength, can I face Mu Kui head-on?" Lin Feng asked, clenching his fist. "No." The old man of Heavenly Secrets shook his head. Mu Kui’s strength defied common sense; although currently only a Yuan Dan level, his Martial Emperor’s soul paired with Martial Emperor Reincarnation memory meant unless encountered by a cultivator in the second stage of the Upper Four, all would be overpowered. Learning these, Lin Feng was left helpless. "It's all that dumb tiger's fault!" He gritted his teeth. Had Xiao Bai not stolen his Six Hells Demon Tiger Constitution, he could definitely confront Mu Kui head-on! "It’s meaningless to dwell on that now, better take a look at the Secrets of Evasion." The old man of Heavenly Secrets urged. "Okay." Nodding, Lin Feng sent a thread of divine light into the jade slip. In that instant. A gaunt, perhaps due to long years spent in the cave, incredibly pale-faced illusory old man’s figure appeared. The old man floated cross-legged in the air, gently stroking his goatee as he said: "Young one, to endure what others cannot, you have a connection with the Way of Evasion!" "..." Though this was clearly a compliment, Lin Feng couldn’t help but pull a long face. The moment of him retrieving the spirit ring replayed in his mind, making him... "Urgh!!" He retched again! The illusory old man was a trace of the spirit left by the evasive cultivator before death and couldn’t communicate, continuing to speak on his own: "Among all paths, the Way of Evasion comes first." "To enter the Way of Evasion, you must sever ties with worldly desires and emotions." "The Way of Evasion has three 'Don'ts'!" "Don’t rush, don’t speak unnecessarily, don't be surprised by treasures." "The Way of Evasion has three 'Perils'." "First peril is pride; pride leads to complacency, brings trouble upon oneself." "Second peril is fame; weak with fame brings endless trouble, strong with fame invites endless foes." "Third peril is women; since ancient times, beauties are calamities, love skeletons that disrupt one’s mind." "The Way of Evasion has three 'Avoids'." "Avoid people, avoid matters, avoid the world!" "......" The illusory old man's eyes closed slightly, imparting the Way of Evasion. Lin Feng listened intently, at times having sudden realizations, at times remaining speechless, and at times furrowing his brow in contemplation. Several hours passed. The teachings of the Way of Evasion concluded, and the illusory old man dissipated. Lin Feng remained deep in thought about the essence of the Way of Evasion. He felt this way particularly suited him. Since he practiced the heartless blade path, he had to cut ties with emotions and desires. His view on women also aligned with the Way of Evasion. Yet, in some aspects, Lin Feng strongly disagreed. If truly avoiding people, avoiding the world, seeking neither fame nor profit, what’s the point of cultivation then? Ultimately, the Way of Evasion just meant living like a dog, didn’t it? He was the Chosen One, how could he live like that? "Discard the dross and retain the essence. Though the Way of Evasion is indeed cowardly, certain principles are worth learning." The old man of Heavenly Secrets commented. "Oh? Care to elaborate?" Lin Feng asked further. "You are the Chosen One, even if you wanted to hide in one place for a few thousand years, various crises would still find their way to you; it's Heaven’s way of honing you. Escape is impossible. However!" The old man of Heavenly Secrets paused and continued: "The three 'Don'ts' and the three 'Perils' from the Way of Evasion will indeed save you a lot of trouble."
