Chapter 649: Chapter 649 The Ancestor’s Divine Will Manual Was Just His Grocery List

The pain was so overwhelming that Azure Dragon King felt as though his entire body would melt beneath the terrifying heat.

The boiling water wasn’t merely scalding his flesh.

Somehow, the strange treatment seemed to reach deep into his meridians, bones, organs, and even his soul.

Every old injury he had accumulated over millions of years seemed to awaken simultaneously.

His body trembled violently.

His breathing became heavy.

Sweat rolled down his ancient face despite the fact that he was surrounded by boiling water.

For an ordinary cultivator, this level of suffering would have been enough to make them lose consciousness long ago.

But Azure Dragon King was no ordinary cultivator.

He had lived for millions of years.

During that unimaginably long lifespan, he had experienced countless battles, heavenly tribulations, betrayals, injuries, and brushes with death.

He had watched countless geniuses rise to prominence only to disappear beneath the wheels of time.

His body might have become old.

His vitality might have declined.

But his will had been tempered through an eternity of hardship.

"I will not give up!"

Azure Dragon King roared inside his mind.

His eyes remained firmly closed as he desperately maintained his lotus position.

I’ve endured millions of years.

How can I possibly lose now?

His determination became stronger.

His spiritual energy, which had been trembling under the unbearable pain, slowly stabilized.

Then...

BOOM!

A powerful wave of energy suddenly erupted from within his body.

The enormous pot trembled.

The boiling water splashed violently against the sides.

Several spectators outside immediately stepped backward in alarm.

"What happened?!"

"Something happened inside the pot!"

"Look!"

Yet Lin Feng remained completely calm.

He had already anticipated this moment.

The greatest hurdle of the treatment had finally been broken through.

And just as suddenly as the overwhelming pain had appeared, it began to recede.

The agony that had nearly driven Azure Dragon King to the edge of unconsciousness gradually weakened.

It didn’t disappear completely.

Instead, it became manageable.

The old man could finally breathe properly again.

He continued sitting in meditation, his chest rising and falling slowly.

For the first time since entering the pot, his expression relaxed.

It’s getting better...

Azure Dragon King could hardly believe it.

He had endured the worst part.

And more importantly, he could actually feel changes occurring within his body.

The countless injuries that had plagued him for millions of years seemed to be slowly responding to the strange treatment.

It was subtle.

But to someone like him, who had lived with those injuries for so long, even the smallest improvement was impossible to miss.

Outside the pot, Lin Feng watched carefully.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

I expected nothing less from a peak Divine Tribulation Realm old monster in his prime.

A cultivator who had reached such a height could not possibly possess an ordinary will.

The ancient powerhouses who had survived for countless years were terrifying precisely because of their mental fortitude.

They had experienced too much.

Pain no longer frightened them.

Death no longer easily intimidated them.

Even despair had become something they had learned to endure.

Azure Dragon King was exactly such an existence.

He had successfully endured the most dangerous stage of the treatment, and from Lin Feng’s perspective, the rest was simply a matter of time.

The hardest part is over.

Now we just wait.

Lin Feng glanced at the enormous pot.

The flames continued burning beneath it.

Whoosh!

The firewood crackled as the flames grew and shrank.

Steam continuously rose into the air.

The strange fragrance from the mixture continued spreading throughout the academy, causing the surrounding spectators to whisper among themselves.

Nobody knew exactly what Lin Feng was doing.

But Lin Feng knew.

He wasn’t worried anymore.

The treatment was proceeding exactly as he had expected.

Inside the pot, Azure Dragon King slowly regained his composure.

His body was still enduring tremendous discomfort, but his mind was no longer on the verge of collapse.

Instead, a faint feeling that he hadn’t experienced for countless years slowly appeared in his heart.

Hope.

For millions of years, he had searched for a way to escape his suffering.

He had consulted countless alchemists.

He had consumed innumerable pills.

He had visited ancient ruins and sought out legendary healers.

None had worked.

Eventually, he had almost accepted that his fate was to live with his injuries until the day he finally died.

Yet now...

For the first time in countless years, he could actually feel something changing.

Azure Dragon King clenched his fists beneath the water.

Medicine King Lin Feng...

He silently remembered the young man’s name.

Whatever happened next, he would never forget this moment.

Outside, Lin Feng simply sat nearby and watched the flames.

He wasn’t in a hurry.

The treatment had already entered its final stage.

All they needed now was patience.

And if everything continued according to plan, then the legendary Azure Dragon King would soon discover that the pain he had endured for millions of years was finally coming to an end.

Five hours later, Lin Feng finally rose from his chair.

During those five hours, he had remained surprisingly relaxed.

Whenever the fire beneath the enormous pot began to weaken, he would casually call over one of the servants and instruct them to add more firewood.

The rest of the time, he simply sat nearby and read a book.

To the thousands of spectators, however, those five hours had felt incredibly long.

Nobody dared leave.

Everyone wanted to witness the conclusion of the bizarre treatment.

Some cultivators whispered among themselves.

Others stared at the pot with anticipation.

A few even began speculating about what kind of miraculous transformation would occur when the treatment ended.

Lin Feng calmly closed his book.

He looked at the enormous pot.

Then he glanced at Azure Dragon King, who was still sitting inside with his eyes closed.

"It’s time," Lin Feng murmured.

He walked toward the pot.

The crowd immediately became silent.

Every pair of eyes followed his movements.

Lin Feng reached out and placed his palm against the side of the enormous treasure pot.

Despite the intense heat, his expression didn’t change.

Ding!

The crisp sound echoed through the area.

It was enough to awaken Azure Dragon King from his deep meditation.

The old man’s eyes suddenly opened.

Boom!

Two brilliant rays of light shot from his eyes.

His ancient aura erupted for an instant, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

Then Azure Dragon King moved.

Whoosh!

His body shot upward from the boiling pot.

He landed several meters away, standing firmly on the ground.

The crowd immediately erupted.

"Look!"

"Look at him!"

"There’s no more death qi around his body!"

"He’s healed!"

Everyone stared at Azure Dragon King in disbelief.

The terrifying death qi that had surrounded him when he first arrived was completely gone.

His skin no longer carried that dreadful grayish pallor.

Even his previously hunched posture had become noticeably straighter.

Most importantly, the oppressive aura of death that had accompanied him everywhere had vanished.

The old man stood there quietly.

For a moment, he simply looked at his own hands.

He clenched his fists.

Then he slowly released them.

His expression became increasingly emotional.

"I..."

His voice trembled slightly.

"I can feel it."

The surrounding crowd became even more excited.

"This is a miracle!"

"I knew the rumors were true!"

"They say Medicine King Lin Feng can even bring someone back from the brink of death!"

"I never believed those stories before, but now I do!"

Another cultivator looked at the enormous pot and scratched his head.

"But this is the first time I’ve ever heard of someone being healed by... cooking them in a pot."

"Bah! Are you stupid?"

His companion immediately smacked him on the shoulder.

"Of course there’s a profound technique behind it! If people could simply be healed by boiling themselves in a pot, wouldn’t we have discovered this method countless years ago?"

"That makes sense."

"Medicine King Lin Feng’s methods are truly unfathomable."

The crowd continued talking excitedly.

Nobody understood what Lin Feng had actually done.

They only knew that a dying old man had arrived surrounded by terrifying death qi.

Then Lin Feng had placed him inside a giant pot, boiled him for several hours, and somehow the death qi had disappeared.

To everyone watching, it was nothing short of miraculous.

Lin Feng, however, wasn’t particularly surprised.

He looked at Azure Dragon King and smiled faintly.

"The treatment is complete."

Those simple words caused the old man’s body to tremble.

After millions of years of suffering, those were perhaps the most beautiful words he had ever heard.

While the surrounding crowd continued discussing what they had just witnessed, Azure Dragon King and Lin Feng exchanged a few more quiet words.

Nobody could hear what they said.

Then, in the blink of an eye...

Whoosh!

The two figures vanished from where they stood.

The crowd was stunned.

"What happened?"

"Where did they go?"

"Don’t be too nosy... it’s not our place to pry into what top experts are discussing."
