Heavenly Rebellion: The Human Race's Rise to Prominence
Chapter 106: A Boon

Chapter 106: A Boon

As a massive surge of spiritual energy gathered around Lin Feng, his already unstable cultivation base—strained by his rapid breakthroughs—began rising again at an alarming rate.

His sudden enlightenment had triggered the Heavenly Dao, prompting it to bestow a reward upon him.

[The host has gained enlightenment of a new spiritual art. As a result, the Heavenly Dao has granted a boon in recognition of his efforts.]

Lin Feng barely registered the system’s mechanical voice echoing in his mind—his attention was consumed by the strange changes surging through his body.

My body is being flooded with spiritual energy!

Instead of feeling joy, a wave of anxiety washed over him.

His cultivation was already unstable from his rapid advances, and this sudden influx of energy threatened to push it beyond its limits.

Crap, I just hope I don’t suffer a backlash—or, even worse, get crippled, he thought grimly.

Although his knowledge of cultivation was limited, he understood the risks.

A backlash could cause minor injuries that required days to heal—or, in the worst case, destroy his cultivation entirely, cutting off his path of advancement forever.

"System, what do I do? I can’t stop the flow of spiritual energy on my own!"

Desperation edged his voice as he called out to the system, struggling to contain the wild energy surging through him.

[Responding to host: The host need not worry. Although the Heavenly Dao can be cruel, it bears no inherent malice toward living beings. Since the current surge is a reward, no negative consequences are expected.]

Hearing the system’s explanation, Lin Feng felt a flicker of relief—but suspicion still gnawed at him. After everything he had endured before obtaining the system, how could he trust the Heavenly Dao so easily?

Dang it, whatever. It’s not like I have a choice anymore—I might as well absorb as much spiritual energy as I can!

Once Lin Feng settled on a course of action, all hesitation vanished.

He immediately focused on absorbing as much spiritual energy as his body could endure.

The shift was instantaneous—and impossible to miss.

BOOM!

"What’s happening to you, Young Master?!" Mei Ling’s voice trembled with fear.

From the moment Lin Feng froze and the spiritual energy began surging toward him, panic had taken hold of her.

She had never witnessed anything like this before.

All the spiritual energy within the estate was converging on Lin Feng at a terrifying rate.

Under normal circumstances, this wouldn’t be a problem—but with the spirit-gathering formation active, the sheer concentration of energy was overwhelming.

The air grew thick and oppressive, pressing down like a suffocating swamp.

Before Mei Ling could react further, the door to Lin Feng’s room burst open with a loud bang as Huang Bei and Yu Miao barged in, one after the other, both drawn by the spiritual energy disturbance.

"What the hell is going on?!" Huang Bei shouted, his voice rough with urgency.

He had been resting in his quarters, nursing his injuries, when he suddenly felt the spiritual energy around him drain away like a river being sucked into a void.

The sensation was so abrupt—and so unnatural—that he immediately sprang to his feet.

Tracking the surge led him straight to Lin Feng’s room.

When he stepped outside, he spotted Yu Miao moving swiftly toward the source, her expression uncharacteristically grim.

If even she was concerned, then something serious was happening. Without hesitation, he decided to follow her.

Yu Miao’s sharp eyes scanned the room the moment she entered.

Lin Feng sat cross-legged at the center, his body trembling slightly as torrents of spiritual energy poured into him from every direction.

It was no ordinary cultivation session—this was something far more dangerous. Recognizing the signs immediately, her heart skipped a beat.

"Step back! Don’t touch him!" she snapped, her tone leaving no room for argument.

"Any interference could disrupt his process and cause an irreversible backlash!"

Mei Ling froze mid-step, her outstretched hand trembling as she barely stopped herself from reaching toward Lin Feng.

Panic swelled in her chest as Yu Miao’s warning sank in.

She had been about to check on him—but instead, she clutched her hands tightly together to keep them from shaking.

Nodding quickly, she backed away until she stood beside Yu Miao and Huang Bei.

Despite the rising fear knotting her stomach, she refused to tear her gaze away from Lin Feng.

His face was pale, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, yet the spiritual energy rushing into him showed no sign of slowing.

"Elder Sister, what’s happening to Young Master Lin Feng?" Mei Ling asked in a hushed voice, anxiety clouding her eyes as she searched Yu Miao’s face for answers.

Beside her, Huang Bei listened intently, his worry for Lin Feng just as evident.

The oppressive atmosphere grew heavier by the second, and for a brief moment, the only sound was the faint hum of spiritual energy crackling through the air.

Yu Miao took a steadying breath before answering, her tone heavy.

"If I’m not mistaken... he’s undergoing enlightenment."

Both Mei Ling and Huang Bei stiffened in shock.

"The only reason I even know about this," Yu Miao continued, her voice quieter now, "is because I once read about it in an ancient record.

This phenomenon only occurs when someone either creates something entirely unique—or comprehends an incredibly profound cultivation technique."

Her expression became even more serious, as she continued.

"This is a rare, fated opportunity. If he succeeds, the insights he gains will prove to be useful all throughout his journey of cultivation!"

Although she maintained a calm façade, Yu Miao’s heart pounded with disbelief as a single thought passed through her head.

A second one?? Could this kid be a supreme genius as well?!

The reason she thought this way was simple—although she had told Huang Bei and Mei Ling that her knowledge of the enlightenment process came from an ancient record, the truth was far more astonishing.

She had personally witnessed it happen twice before!

One instance was with Chen Zi, the strongest genius of the previous generation of the Chen Clan.

The other was her young mistress, Chen Mei, who had experienced a similar phenomenon during her childhood.

While focusing on her personal cultivation, the surrounding spiritual energy had suddenly surged toward her, triggering an enlightenment that granted her mastery over a unique spiritual art—the Nethersoul Aberration Art, a technique only she could wield.

And now, as Yu Miao watched Lin Feng become enveloped by the same mysterious force, her shock only deepened.
