Chapter 562: Bottleneck

“What’s going on?”

The Void Sky Divine Pearl emitted a dazzling light, which surprised even Lin Feng. Lin Feng had obtained the Void Sky Divine Pearl for quite a long time already, but something like this had never happened before.

Back when Lin Feng comprehended one of the runes on the Void Sky Divine Pearl, he had obtained information about the Void Sky Divine Palace. However, after that, when Lin Feng comprehended the spatial divine runes on the Void Sky Divine Pearl, apart from aiding his comprehension of the Law of s.p.a.ce, he did not obtain any other information.

“Could it be information about the Void Sky Divine Palace?”

Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. He immediately extended his mental power into the Void Sky Divine Pearl.

Boom.

Lin Feng’s mental power shook, and an image appeared in his mind.

In the cold and dark cosmos, there was a vaguely discernible spatial pa.s.sage. In the spatial pa.s.sage was a magnificent palace. This image appeared in Lin Feng’s mind for a long time before fading out.

When Lin Feng woke up, he realized that the Void Sky Divine Pearl had returned to its original state, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

However, Lin Feng knew that it was not an illusion! That scene was still deeply imprinted in Lin Feng’s mind. Moreover, he could vaguely sense the location of the Void Sky Divine Palace through the Void Sky Divine Pearl.

It was just that he was very far away now, and the sense was very faint. If he could enter the Silent Galaxy, he might be able to sense the location of the Void Sky Divine Palace.

“Void Sky Divine Palace…”

Lin Feng naturally wanted to go to the Void Sky Divine Palace. After all, it was a palace left behind by a Divine Emperor. There might be unimaginable treasures inside. Considering the Big Bang alone, how could a powerful ent.i.ty like Divine Emperor Void Sky not partic.i.p.ate in the Big Bang?

And with Divine Emperor Void Sky’s strength, it would hardly be a challenge for him to obtain new substances. Perhaps there were many new substances cached in the Void Sky Divine Palace.

The Void Sky Divine Palace was a treasure trove, and Lin Feng could sense it. Unfortunately, the Silent Galaxy was too dangerous. Even though he knew that there was a treasure trove inside, Lin Feng did not dare to enter.

That was, unless Lin Feng could improve his strength further!

If Lin Feng wanted to increase his strength, it was impossible to rely on his combat body alone. Moreover, he showed no signs of metamorphosis. Hence, he could only rely on the Starfell Pearl. The power of the Starfell Pearl could continue to increase. Lin Feng had comprehended another 50 spatial divine runes, which was enough to expand the s.p.a.ce in the Starfell Pearl again.

Hence, while Grand Emperor Long Yuan and the others were standing guard, Lin Feng focused on inscribing the spatial divine runes in the Starfell Pearl.

Lin Feng had already completely comprehended the remaining 50 spatial divine runes. After that, he found it relatively easy to inscribe them on the Starfell Pearl.

Fifty-one, fifty-three, fifty-five, sixty…

Lin Feng’s speed of inscribing the spatial divine runes was not slow. In just a year, he had already inscribed the remaining 50 spatial divine runes on the Starfell Pearl.

The s.p.a.ce in the Starfell Pearl had more than doubled.

Of course, not every spatial divine rune could expand the same amount of s.p.a.ce. It was possible that 50 spatial divine runes might not even expand as much s.p.a.ce as one spatial divine rune.

However, these 50 spatial divine runes were generally similar to the 50 spatial divine runes that Lin Feng had inscribed previously. Hence, if everything went smoothly, the s.p.a.ce in the Starfell Pearl could accommodate another 100 million planets.

After Lin Feng inscribed the spatial divine runes, he swept through planets within a radius of thousands to even tens of thousands of light-years again. In a few years, the Starfell Pearl was filled to the brim.

Just as Lin Feng had expected, the number of planets in the Starfell Pearl had reached 200 million. There were more than 20 million stars, which was equivalent to a combat body of about 22 trillion kilometers, exceeding two light-years. It was twice as powerful as the Starfell Pearl from before!

Swoosh.

Lin Feng retracted the Starfell Pearl. He could roughly sense that the material limit of the Starfell Pearl was actually about to be reached. The s.p.a.ce in the Starfell Pearl was completely filled, and could not accommodate more planets.

Lin Feng still needed to master more spatial divine runes, and more miraculous spatial divine runes.

Unfortunately, Lin Feng only had the 100 spatial divine runes on the Void Sky Divine Pearl now. Lin Feng had also asked Grand Emperor Long Yuan, but Grand Emperor Long Yuan did not have a single spatial divine rune.

There were not even spatial divine runes in the Divine Palace of Bemond.

Compared to the spatial combat body, spatial divine runes were simply too rare. They were practically secrets that were never imparted for almost every cultivator of the Law of s.p.a.ce. Lin Feng could still find a spatial combat body like the Void Traversal Combat Body in the Divine Palace of Bemond, but he could not find any spatial divine runes.

Without the spatial divine runes, it was impossible for Lin Feng to continue improving the power of the Starfell Pearl.

“I’ve reached a bottleneck!”

Lin Feng could sense that he had already reached a bottleneck, or rather, his limit. Be it cultivating the combat body or comprehending Laws, it would take a long time. Only after years of cultivation could there be some effect.

The Starfell Pearl could no longer be improved. Without spatial divine runes, it was useless even if he obtained new materials.

For the first time, Lin Feng felt the distress of stagnation in cultivating. He had never felt this way before. Even if the cultivation of the combat body stagnated, one could still comprehend Laws.

But now, Lin Feng had reached a bottleneck in all aspects. Even after a long time, he might still be stagnating. This feeling was really unpleasant.

From the beginning, Lin Feng had always been cultivating. Now, his cultivation had come to an abrupt stop. Lin Feng was very uncomfortable about it as well.

At this moment, Lin Feng finally understood why those Venerables, Quasi-emperors, and even Grand Emperors failed to advance for billions of years. There was really a bottleneck and limit to cultivation. Very few people could keep advancing continuously.

Every cultivator had bottlenecks. The difference was whether the bottleneck came sooner or later. Some cultivators might reach their limit and hit a bottleneck after six life transitions. They would be trapped below six life transitions, and could never become planetary lifeforms.

Some were stuck at the level of Venerables or Grand Emperors, while others only sensed a bottleneck after cultivating to the level of Divine Kings.

Lin Feng was a little special. He had successfully cultivated all the way to the level of a Venerable, and advanced planetary lifeform. However, he had advanced with a consummate combat body, so he had never been able to sense the bottleneck.

But now, he felt a bottleneck, and it was a bottleneck all round. If there were no special opportunities, he might only be able to achieve what he had now for his entire life.

A bottleneck was not terrifying, because once opportunity arrived, the bottleneck would also be broken.

This was also why so many cultivators were willing to take risks in the Big Bang in search of opportunities. At this point, Lin Feng also developed the thought of searching for opportunities.

“Your Highness Lin Feng, it’s your turn to guard the border for ten years.”

When Grand Emperor Long Yuan sent a message that it was Lin Feng’s turn to guard the border, Lin Feng went straight to the border.

“Your Highness Long Yuan.”

“Your Highness Lin Feng, the guarding mission is not easy.”

“I understand. Don’t worry, Your Highness Long Yuan.”

Grand Emperor Long Yuan recognized Lin Feng’s strength, so he was also quite at ease. After handing the mission to Lin Feng, he turned around and left.

Lin Feng looked at the distant border. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but eventually, he calmed down gradually.

No matter what, he had to guard the border for the next ten years without any mistakes!
