Chapter 354: A Hundred Flowers Bloom

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Leaving Xiao Yan a hapless smile on his face facing Hu Yanyan alone, Lin Feng walked off with Xiao Budian.

Earlier on, Zhu Yi returned to Mount Yujing, bringing along his examination scrolls.

After returning to the mountain, Zhu Yi took over the responsibility of training the second-generation disciples from Kang Nanhua.

With the abundance of spiritual energy on top of Mount Yujing, the group of teenagers were able to improve really quickly. Their progress was astounding. Even though Zhu Yi was no longer around, no one slacked off. After Zhu Y returned to Mount Yujing, he assessed their mastery. He was satisfied with all of them.

Lin Feng was pleased with this too. "If they continue to progress at this rate, then the foundation of our sect will be extremely stable. Other than increasing the mastery of our disciples, our sect needs some refurbishing as well."

During the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, the sect managed to increase its prestige and make a name for itself. For the sect to occupy a position of respect and importance in the entire Grand Celestial World, such a step was very important.

As the sect's external image improved, its internal facilities and training must follow suit. The sect can only continue to progress if the two progressed equally.

Arriving at the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and before the three-storied Tripitaka Block, Lin Feng stepped into the block with Xiao Budian giggling behind him.

After receiving Lin Feng's telepathic message, Zhu Yi, Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing too came to the building too. The last person to arrive was Xiao Yan.

Wang Lin did not come with Lin Feng's permission. He had to focus all of his energy on his closed-door training in the hopes that he could form his aurous core soon. Under the protection of Lin Feng, he had been sent into the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World.

Lin Feng stood in the center of the Tripitaka Block and the said smilingly, "All of you know why is the Tripitaka Block special, right?"

Xiao Yan and the rest nodded their heads. They knew that while the bookshelves appeared to be empty, but anyone could fill it up with their own mantras and spells. The bookshelves would then turn them into manuals at the founder's desired speed.

Furthermore, even if the manual was incomplete, the bookshelves could attempt to complete it by deducing what may be the possible mantras.

This is a very special ability indeed, as subsequent disciples of the Celestial Sect would be able to obtain the manuals and spells of other sects, even if they picked up only a tiny bit.

The bookshelves before them were still rather empty. It only had the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique, the Art of Acalanātha and ten other manuals and spellbooks. However, with time, more and more would be accumulated here. It could even be the best-kept library of spells and techniques in the entire world.

"Today, I will assign some work for you," Lin Feng said, smiling. "With our sect's trademark Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams, combined with your respective understanding and mastery of spells and auras, I want every single one of you to form your own, individual mantra."

"I don't need it to be complicated or deep in meaning. I only want you guys to show me what you had truly mastered and understood."

Lin Feng smiled and looked at each of his disciples. "Please don't take it as if I'm trying to give you guys more work. This is a practice that will help you improve greatly. Every single one of you."

"As Wang Lin is busy with his aurous core formation, and thus at a very critical point right now, he will not be doing this just yet. After he formed his core, however, he too must do this."

Zhu Yi said, "I understand master's intentions. By coming up with our own manual, we would go through our knowledge of our own powers once again and ensure that we are clear about each and every step. This will allow us to cultivate even faster in the future, am I right?"

Xiao Yan nodded his head, "It is also a form of meditation. In compiling what we know, this will allow us to reflect on ourselves and find out what have we missed."

Xiao Budian rolled his eyes and asked, smiling, "Master, is there a time limit for this task?"

Lin Feng shot him a half-smile and said, "There's no time limit. You can only leave the Tripitaka Block once you are done with your own manual."

"Ah?" XIao Budian was dazed. The rest of them looked at Xiao Budian scornfully. "Are you still thinking about all the food that you want to eat?" Lin Feng asked.

Xiao Budian replied in a displeased tone. "No! I know what is important and what isn't! I can always eat later!"

"However, if I don't leave the Tripitaka Block in time, Tun Tun would eat everything that I managed to accumulate. She isn't very good with her manners."

Xiao Budian then looked at Lin Feng, "Master, while I'm in the Tripitaka Block, can you lock Tun Tun up?"

Everyone face-palmed upon hearing this, even Lin Feng, who tapped Xiao Budian's head and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. I'll help you take care of your food."

After that humorous bout, Lin Feng composed himself and said, "For the majority of you, your understanding of our sect's mantra had reached a certain level. Under Zhu Yi's guidance, the second-generation of disciples had worked hard on their foundations."

"Hence, after every single one of you had compiled and summarized your own spells, I will arrange for the most outstanding members of the second generation to acknowledge you as their masters. They will then become your official disciples."

Xiao Yan and the rest of them exchanged glances. Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan looked normal, while Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian were smiling. They found this extremely interesting. Yang Qing, however, looked uneasy.

Lin Feng then said slowly, "As to who will become your official disciple, I will not force them. Whoever wishes to follow you will follow you. Fate will play a certain role in this, as well as how your interact with them."

"Today, by letting you go through your spells I am also preparing course materials for prospective disciples in the future. This will prevent us from teaching them the wrong things," Lin Feng said, still smiling. "Your official disciples, upon reaching the Qi Cultivation stage, can either cultivate your own mantra or Zhu Yi's Yi Zi's Eight Trigrams Variorum. There's no restriction."

"However, once your disciple reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, then there's no need to cultivate the Yi Zi's Eight Trigrams Variorum anymore. They will cultivate only your spell."

Xiao Budian smiled and said, "Second Senior's Variorum is the most suitable for Qi Cultivation stage cultivators. There isn't a need to change."

Lin Feng said, "As for every single one of you, my mantra has always been 'the master must show the way, while the disciple has to walk it'. Hence, for the mantras that you will be coming up with, the most important thing is for you to pass down the most important and most crucial parts of it."

"What I want is for a hundred flowers to bloom, rather than see a thousand copies of the same script."

The group of disciples all agreed, with Yang Qing hesitating for a bit. He looked at Yue Hongyan and said nothing.

Lin Feng noticed this and asked, "Is there something you want to say, Yang Qing?"

Yang Qing bowed and said, "Master, I joined you not too long ago. I feel that my understanding of the Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams is not yet enough. I don't think I can take up such a big role."

Lin Feng looked at Yang Qing and smiled. He could more or less guess his reasoning.

The problem that he mentioned was indeed one of the reasons. The other reason, however, was the fact that he only formally joined Lin Feng with the second-generation disciples despite having lived on Mount Yujing for a period of time beforehand.

However, the moment Yang Qing and Yue Hongyan joined the sect, Lin Feng took them on as his direct disciple. To ask the second-generation disciples to acknowledge him as their master may be slightly awkward.

However, the reason behind this could not be clearly explained as well. It did not concern only him, as Yue Hongyan was in a similar spot. She too joined Lin Feng during the sect-opening ceremony at Shazhou City.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Come up with your own mantra first and then I'll see if it's good enough."

Yang Qing nodded his head. Yue Hongyan, who was next to him, looked at him and said nothing.

From a certain perspective, Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing were similar. Their personalities were both very straightforward, but it did not mean that they were stupid. Instead, it just meant that they were not particularly picky about many things.

As for Yang Qing's worries, Yue Hongyan too felt it. However, her opinion differed from Yang Qing's, but she did not say anything. Instead, she planned to wait for Lin Feng's decision.

In reality, Lin Feng himself also knew what made Yang Qing felt awkward. However, Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing were different from the second-generation disciples.

Before they joined his sect, they too participated in the Battle of Shazhou City with Xiao Yan and the rest. The only difference was that they had yet to formally acknowledge Lin Feng as their master. The two of them were also in their Foundation Establishment stage, and hence their starting points differed from the other second-generation disciples.

Furthermore, their potential values were much higher than the second-generation disciples.

However, this could not stop some people from feeling uneasy and thinking that Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing were able to achieve so much in so little time. Only Lin Feng knew their true potential as the rest were unable to judge it as empirically as him.

Despite Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing being in the late-Foundation Establishment stage and the mid-Foundation Establishment stage respectively, many would feel that Lin Feng was biased in their favor. This was normal thinking.

Hence, Lin Feng thought, "A person's heart is the hardest thing to understand. However, with the right incentives and the right arrangements, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Lin Feng had already considered everything carefully so he did not care too much.

While his disciples derived their own mantras in the Tripitaka Block, Lin Feng walked out alone and entered the medicine room.

He lifted his head to look at the sign that wrote "Celestial Golden Pavilion" and sighed, "Xiao Yan had to attend to something. Today, I have to do it myself. I hope that they will not be too harsh."

He walked into the medicine room and took out some spiritual enhancement herb as well as a few other already-prepared medicines. He flicked with his finger and pulled up the recipe for the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir.

He slammed his palms together and the Grand Sun Primordial Flame began to slowly descend into the Ethereal Heart Cauldron. With a giant 'boom', the fire of the Cauldron itself began to burn.

On the ground, the image of the eight trigrams began to shine. With a wave of his hand, the Wind and Fire Fan began to fan too.

With the spiritual enhancement herb as the main ingredient, Lin Feng chucked a few of the herbs into the Ethereal Heart Cauldron. Instantly, a medicinal aroma could be smelt.

Lin Feng looked at the cauldron as he felt a sense of panic, "F*ck, ever since I cultivated the Thunderous Echo Elixir I haven't done any cultivation of this sort. Now I am rather unfamiliar with the steps. Will it blow up in my face?"

Chapter 355: Good Things are Hard to Come By

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Ever since he discovered Xiao Yan's potential in pill cultivation, Lin Feng happily handed over all matters of pill cultivation over to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan did not disappoint. Almost every single pill in the sect was cultivated by him.

Combined with the Heavenly Golden Pavilion and the Ethereal Heart Cauldron, Xiao Yan became highly efficient in his use of ingredients. He virtually did not waste any single ingredient, making Lin Feng very happy.

However, if pill cultivation was simply just a matter of techniques, then a cultivator with a higher level of mastery would be able to have a higher rate of success. But that was not the case, for the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster was able to benefit from his relationship with the Great Barren Sword Sect.

Purely from their abilities to cultivate pills, the Nascent Soul stage Hundred Herbs Grandmaster was much more powerful than the many Immortal Soul stage cultivators.

Lin Feng carefully controlled the firepower within the Ethereal Heart Cauldron and the herbs within the cauldron. As it was his first time cultivating the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir, there were many steps that required Lin Feng to find out as he went along.

However, what made Lin Feng happy was that throughout the whole process, there was no major incident. From within the cauldron, a medicinal aroma could be smelt. The aroma clustered in the sky did not go away. Instead, it formed into clouds.

"After a long while, my skills are still there," Lin Feng thought smugly as he smiled confidently.

By keeping watch for 49 Chinese hours (Translator's Note: A Chinese hour, shi chen, is the equivalent to two Western hours), the clouds above the Cauldron started to turn gold. Furthermore, the clouds began to chime gently, akin to the sound of drums.

Lin Feng stared at the Cauldron and knew that it was at its most crucial stage. Whether or not he could successfully cultivate the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir would depend on this final step.

He gently flicked his finger and a drop of blood appeared in the air. The drop of blood gurgled non-stop, and from within it a loud roar could be heard as if there were dragons singing within.

The blood began to morph in the air and soon took the shape of a flying dragon.

This was what the Black Dragon Jieyu 'contributed'. Initially, when Lin Feng asked him to 'donate' his blood, Jieyu almost cried

Lin Feng gently waved his hand and the droplet of dragon blood flew into the Ethereal Heart Cauldron.

The golden clouds scattered and a giant sound could be heard. A mystical aura that was more exquisite and mythical than awe-inspiring rose into the sky from the Ethereal Heart Cauldron.

"Success!" Lin Feng's face broke into a smile.

However, before he could complete the final step, the aura within the Ethereal Heart Cauldron suddenly changed.

The normally calm and stable aura suddenly became violent. Waves after waves of wild, uninhibited energy could be felt.

In the space around the Ethereal Heart Cauldron, a sudden change could be felt. Suddenly, a streak of Void Lightning Tribulation appeared out of nowhere and struck the golden clouds.

The originally calm and serene clouds suddenly became terrible. From within, a terrible wail could be heard. It was almost as if a wild person was being born from within.

Looking at this scene, Lin Feng arched his eyebrows. "It's actually a pill tribulation. I did not anticipate this."

Just as how a cultivator would have to face his inner demons during his training, a high-quality pill brimming with spiritual energy would also produce its own 'demons' during the cultivation process. If the demons could not be resolved, then the spiritual energy that belonged to the pill would be absorbed by the demons.

Once the inner demons became strong enough, it would materialize and take up a corporeal form. It could actually become a real demon with a violent temper.

If the demon could survive the Void Lightning Tribulation, it would obtain the abilities to soar through the heavens and stride across the earth. Then, it would truly have become a Nascent Soul-stage demon.

Throughout this process, what cultivators referred to as 'pill tribulation' was meant to destroy the inner demons of the pill itself. Doing so would allow the pill to reach an even higher calibre.

"...The problem is, I don't know how to properly do a 'pill tribulation'."

Lin Feng smiled bitterly as he carefully adjusted the Grand Sun Primordial Flame within the Cauldron. Some things could not rely solely on one's powers. If one were to forcefully destroy the inner demons of the pills, there was a chance that the pill would have been destroyed along with it. Then, the whole process would have been for nothing.

He lifted his head to look at the lightning crackling in the sky. Lin Feng extended all five of his fingers and brought them down like a karate chop. The Fences of Heavens spell was conjured and its target was the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir within the Cauldron, which was just about to take shape.

With the spell, the violent inner demon within the elixir was restrained. It became a lot more subdued, but it still struggled against its restraints.

Lin Feng thought in his heart, "Using such a spell is only a temporary measure. It could only help in suppression, but it could not resolve the issue at its crux. Even if I were able to subdue this inner demon, I would scar the elixir. There's even a possibility that my disciple would experience such a demon when they consume the pill."

"To resolve the issue at its crux, I still had to use a pill cultivation-based method rather than spells."

Thinking about it here, Lin Feng increased his control over the Grand Sun Primordial Flame within the Ethereal Heart Cauldron.

Within the Cauldron, dozens of black pills were being formed. The pills trembled non-stop, almost as if they had a primal side that was just waiting to surface.

Lin Feng controlled the radiance of the Grand Sun Primordial Flame. He did not aim to split the outer layer of the pills with its radiance, but instead, he directed it deep into the core of each pill.

Throughout this process, Lin Feng carefully controlled the radiance of the Grand Sun Primordial Flame to ensure that it would not incinerate it ahead of time.

After the Grand Sun Primordial Flame had penetrated deep into each pill, Lin Feng then tried to trigger a full-blown explosion with the power of the Grand Sun Primordial Flame.

The pills began to wail and they began to vibrate ferociously within the cauldron. It was like a prelude to an explosion.

Lin Feng's face did not change as he continued to manipulate the Grand Sun Primordial Flame with his heart. He began to fan with the Wind and Fire Fan. The breeze from the fan was gentle and as it entered the Ethereal Heart Cauldron, the fire within the cauldron increased a notch and stopped the furiously-vibrating pills.

Below the Cauldron, the image of the Eight Trigrams began to glow. Under its brilliant, gold glow, the fire of the Ethereal Heart Cauldron that was about burst began to calm.

As the fire underneath the Ethereal Heart Cauldron calmed, the pills that were at risk of exploding began to stabilize. The inner demons within them were obliterated with the brilliant radiance of the Grand Sun Primordial Flame.

The golden clouds above the cauldron returned to their serene state.

Lin Feng began to laugh out loud as he clapped his hands. The golden clouds returned to the cauldron and its lid opened. A brilliant light burst forth from within as a medicinal aroma wafted out.

Rays after rays of white light shot out from the cauldron. Lin Feng collected them all.

These pills were only as big as the fist of an infant. They were completely white and semi-transparent.

In the center of the pills was their black core. The black cores shimmered in the out of visibility like a mirage. It was a like a hole that could not be filled.

One single pill was able to greatly increase a cultivator's innate abilities by leaps and bounds. This was the Heavenly Replenishment Elixir.

Lin Feng nodded his head satisfactorily, "Good things are hard to come by. However, luckily this was properly resolved."

After he took back the Heavenly Replenishment Elixir and extinguished the fire within the Ethereal Heart Cauldron, Lin Feng walked out of the medicine room and his consciousness entered the system.

Every month, he had a chance at a lucky draw. It was the time of the month again.

Lin Feng entered the lottery system and looked around for a while. His gaze was fixated on a particular gift on the Spin-A-Wheel page.

It was pure white jade rock brimming with a crystalline light.

Lin Feng had seen this object earlier on. It was something that Yue Hongyan possessed. It was something that could absorb even the Avīci Infernal Gale. It was the Void Spiritual Jade.

The size of the Void Spiritual Jade was even bigger than Yue Hongyan's bangle.

"This item is not bad. It is the best material for me to make a storage pouch. After carving it up, I can make many storage pouches," Lin Feng thought in his heart. "Fine, then it shall be you!"

He looked at the Void Spiritual Jade's serial number and then made some calculations before spinning the wheel to start his lucky draw.

While Lin Feng was clear about the Spin-A-Wheel page, there was still a 25% chance that he may not get what he wanted. He could not guarantee that he would get what he wanted each and every time. In the previous few rounds, Lin Feng had many misses.

However, in comparison with the other methods, Lin Feng was most confident about the Spin-A-Wheel page.

This time, Lin Feng's luck wasn't too bad. He managed to obtain the Void Spiritual Jade.

Lin Feng felt the Void Spiritual Jade in his hand and thought, "Eh, not bad. While it's small, it is more than enough to make a hundred storage pouch."

With his own mana, he began to start slicing as he divided them up into a hundred smaller portions. In the process, every single piece of the jade became even smaller.

However, with such a tiny piece of jade, he could still conjure a giant amount of space.

Lin Feng flicked with his finger as a jet of purple gas flew into the air. It divided into 100 smaller pieces of purple gas which then distributed itself and landed equally on each piece of the Void Spiritual Jade. They formed a tiny ring, on which the tiny piece of the Void Spiritual Jade was laid.

Lin Feng thought in his heart, "For Xiao Yan and the other immediate disciples, I will pass them each a piece. Nanhua and Shihao will get a piece each and Jieyu, that old dragon, can get a piece too in return for all the blood he contributed."

"Tun Tun probably won't need one as she could stuff everything into her stomach."

Lin Feng then thought, "As for the other disciples, I would have to think about it for a while. After Xiao Yan and the rest had their respective disciples, this could be used as an incentive for hard work."

"This will motivate them to work hard. I will publish the rules of the competition beforehand to make it fair."

As Lin Feng thought about it, he felt a sudden pull in his heart. He smiled, "Is Wang Lin successful?"

Feeling the atmosphere in the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World, Lin Feng flew over. Perched at the top of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, he entered the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World.

Within the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World, a peace had taken over. Lucky slept underneath the mini Treasure Tree while the old man continued playing chess with himself.

The sword returned to its original state. The maiden who bore the scabbard on her back did not exhibit any change. She continued to circle the mini Black Heavenly Treasure Tree. Her path and pace did not change.

Underneath the tree, Wang Lin sat there quietly, enveloped by a black gas that brimmed with an aura of death.

However, within the black gas, a semblance of life could be felt. It was as like a tiny sapling that was about to emerge from the soil. It appeared on a step away from germinating.

Chapter 356: All sufferings have their rewards

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng stood next to Wang Lin as he watched his three other disciples silently.

Wang Lin was enshrouded in a black smog which was even darker and more desolate than the death aura. It contained the essence from the power of dual polarity and also embodied the philosophy behind the dual polarity of life and death.

Within the black smog, one could faintly see the eight natural elements - Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, Mountain and Pond - floating as they intertwined to construct a brand new world. But just as the world had formed, it would disintegrate under the pressure from the destructive force.

But the world did not disappear after its disintegration. Instead, it was reborned as a strong aura of vitality emerged within the black smog as it became stronger and increasingly concentrated.

Lin Feng watched the calm expression of Wang Lin and some old memories surfaced in his head.

He remembered when and where he first saw Wang Lin. That was when he was struggling to find his fourth disciple. Just when he heard news about Wang Lin and had rushed to Mount Hengyue to find him, Wang Lin had just admitted himself into the Hengyue Faction.

Wang Lin back then was recognized as someone with little flair and talent. Some even claimed that he might not have even began his road to cultivation after graduating from the Faction. The only reason why they kept him was because of the fear of a damaged reputation if Wang Lin were to commit suicide out of misery.

Within the Faction, Wang Lin had always been the joke as he was the target for humiliation.

But now, the previous loser was about to form his aurous core and to cross an obstacle that most people could only dream of in their lifetime.

And it was not the end for Wang Lin. In fact, this was only the beginning because upon attaining the Aurous Core stage, he would then begin to witness an astonishing acceleration in his training.

Before the Aurous Core stage, any training and improvement was highly reliant on the Innate Ability of the cultivator. Upon the forming of the aurous core, as long as the aurous core was of a high standard, the most important factor for fast advancements would then be Intelligence and Determination.

And these two factors were the strongest characteristics of Wang Lin. In fact, they were impossibly high, scoring full marks.

In addition, after the supplementation from the Supreme Rock Spiritual Altar, the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir and the Heavens-Patching Vine, Wang Lin's Innate Ability had far surpassed his previous abilities.

And as for the quality of the aurous core, it was all dependent on today.

Finally, as the aura of vitality (within the destructive aura) had peaked, Wang Lin opened his eyes and the destructive aura which had enshrouded him transformed into an aura of vitality which was bursting into life.

The Dual Polarity had switched and the aura of life and death had swapped.

The spiritual altar which was on the aurous sea within him had a purple crucible above it. Now, the blur figure of an aurous core, which was inside the purple crucible, was being fed by the aura of vitality as the mana surged into the faint figure.

Slowly but surely, the blur figure became clearer and it began to emit a blinding glow before it transformed into an aurous core.

The aurous core had a strong purple-golden glow to it as it dazzled under the aura of vitality.

Upon the formation of the aurous core, Wang Lin instantaneously looked different, both physically as well as spiritually.

A light tremor from the aurous core released a thick cloud of black smog as though it was the beginning of a new universe. All the previous aura of vitality had once again transformed into an incredibly scary aura of destruction.

The dark and destructiv powers encircled around Wang Lin's aurous core just like the dark clouds which engulfed the Sun on a cloudy day. But nevertheless, just as how the dark clouds would still not be able to negate the warmth from the Sun, one could still feel the power and aura of vitality from Wang Lin's aurous core.

Lin Feng's face broke into a satisfied smile as he nodded his head, "Good, very good!"

Wang Lin did not only form a purple pill aurous core but even generated an unnatural sight from the formation. This was the most perfect outcome possible.

Wang Lin's determination and hard work had finally reaped its rewards in this moment. From today onwards, he would be on a road that would be much easier as compared to before. His talent and gifts would now surge out like a fountain as he would amaze the world with them.

Previously at the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, Wang Lin had already changed the perceptions of everyone as he triumphed over Dao Yuting and Huo Chen with his status of a cultivator at the initial level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

But in Lin Feng's eyes, Wang Lin's performance then did not do enough justice to the potential that he had. He was still a pearl covered in dust. No one knew how good he could be back then.

And now, Wang Lin had finally remove the dust which he was covered in and had started to show the glimmer that truly belonged to him.

He shared similar methodology with Zhu Yi as both of them had accumulated much before they advanced in their training. However, Zhu Yi's development had always been steady and continuous. Zhu Yi faced less difficulties as compared to Wang Lin who suffered a slow training speed. Wang Lin's trajectory displayed a more explosive form of development just like a volcano with its slow build-up.

In such a short period of time, Wang Lin had leapt from the initial level of the Foundation Establishment stage to the initial level of the Aurous Core stage. Such a speed would indeed be astounding in the eyes of many.

Wang Lin stood up as the display of his aura showed a person who had become more reserved and capable of concealing his gifts and abilities. In that instant, both Master and Disciple remained silent but they shared a million thoughts with one another.

Only two years or so had passed in the outside world but it felt like ages for Wang Lin who had cooped up in the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World for too long.

When Wang Lin had just joined the tutelage of Lin Feng, Xiao Budian and the rest were already at Qi Disciple Level 8 and above. However, he had to chase after them all the way from Qi Disciple Level 1.

When he had finally attained the great circle of perfection at the Qi Disciple Level 12, Xiao Budian, Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi were already at the Foundation Establishment stage for god knows how long.

And when Wang Lin finally progressed to the Foundation Establishment stage, all his fellow disciples had already formed their aurous cores.

He was always chasing after the shadows of his peers; in fact, the shadows seemed to be getting further for most part of the race. The sense of disappointment and despair would have eroded most people's confidence and determination.

Subsequently, even Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing's advancement overtook Wang Lin.

When Wang Lin was registered for the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, he had almost become the laughing stock.

On first sight, many thought that Wang Lin was the weakest link in the Celestial Sect of Wonders. They felt that he was the only commoner among the bunch of savants. They believed that he was the only misjudgment that Lin Feng had made.

Wang Lin did not attempt to make any respond to their comments. He was not used to arguing with words. He believed in redeeming himself with his actions.

Lin Feng knew this better than anyone. He had observed every bit of effort which Wang Lin had put in as he saw how the youth transformed from a hopeless figure into the inspiring figure today.

It seemed that Wang Lin had finally reached the light at the end of the tunnel.

Wang Lin bowed slowly and gradually in front of Lin Feng before speaking, "Master, please continue to enlighten me in the days ahead."

Even though it was still the usual short sentences, Wang Lin's usual stable voice had began to tremble at this moment.

It was all thanks to man in front of him who had led him into an entirely new world. It was Lin Feng who had stood firmly behind him despite all the snide remarks made at him. It was Lin Feng who had continued to nurture and guide him wholeheartedly despite all the opposition.

Lin Feng extended his hand and supported Wang Lin, before lifting him out of his bow. He smiled, "I have often mentioned this line, which is to always look back at the arduous path which you had treaded fondly after you have attained success."

"Never forget about the sacrifices which you have made because they will allow you to gain the next success with greater ease."

Wang Lin nodded his head fervently, "Thank you for your teaching, Master."

Lin Feng smiled, "You must have gained some new insights this time round, right?"

Wang Lin smiled in return, "I would still need your guidance, Master." As he spoke, Wang Lin activated his aurous core and his aura transformed into an unbelievable cold and dark one, which gave off a feeling of desolation and suppression. It was as though Hades had descended into the world of the mortals, turning our world into a living hell.

Lin Feng gave an approving look as he nodded his head gently. "It seemed that Wang Lin's destructive stage of the River of Styx had become more powerful after attaining the Aurous Core stage."

Back in the Foundation Establishment stage, whenever Wang Lin entered into the destructive stage of the River of Styx, he could only convert his own mana into the destructive forces.

But now, the Aurous Core stage cultivator's destructive force could corrode space and void upon his activation of the destructive stage. Wang Lin could smelt the space at which he was at along with the destructive aura, blurring the limits of the world around him.

And within this space or void, it was Wang Lin's playground. As long as he fought within this place, any spells or attack would be exponentially more powerful.

And Wang Lin's opponent would be suppressed by the endless destructive aura trapped in the playground. Any spell or mana would be ground to nothing by the destructive aura.

One could only imagine if Wang Lin were to improve, he could potentially create an independent little world with his own power. A world which was on the verge of pure destruction. Any enemy that was dragged into this world would have to suffer the wrath of endless destruction.

As Wang Lin brought his palms together, a pitch-black path that glowed in the center appeared in the middle of the void. It was none other than the Road to River Styx.

But the spell that Wang Lin had wanted to cast was not the Road to River Styx. In fact, the Road to River Styx was merely the beginning of the spell. At the end of the road, one could see a vast river.

The strange thing was how quiet the river was despite its powerful currents. It was nothing but a miraculous work of nature.

The river water was of a sunset yellow color as it radiated an energy which could cleanse and destroy all matter. It was none other than the domineering and strange River Styx Primordial Water.

After attaining the Aurous Core stage, Wang Lin could finally harness the true power of the Pearl of Styx. He could call upon a voluminous amount of River Styx Primordial Water and refine them with his mana to become his own novel spell.

River of Forgetfulness!

After the Road to River Styx, Wang Lin had invented a new technique, the River of Forgetfulness.

Lin Feng might not have come into contact with the river water but he could already sense the power radiating from it. It was constructed from the power of destruction and extrapolated from the intricacies of creation and destruction.

"The River of Forgetfulness is rumoured to be the boundary between the Road to River Styx and the actual underworld." Lin Feng nodded his head gently, "At the same time, it is also the point of intersection between the world of the living and the world of the dead. Wang Lin's spell not only fully harnessed the power of the River Styx Primordial Water, it also merged the wisdom of both life and death."

After demonstrating the spell, the River of Forgetfulness, Wang Lin retracted all his mana back into his body as all aura of destruction vanished.

"Actually, I still have another spell. But as of now, it is still a sketchy concept." Wang Lin revealed a look of embarrassment. "I need to look into it a bit more before it can really materialize."

Lin Feng grinned, "Oh really? Now I am really looking forward to that occasion. But for now, I have an assignment for you."

After Lin Feng shared about the idea of taking in more disciples and spreading the way of Taoism to Wang Lin, Wang Lin nodded his head, "I understand, Master."

Lin Feng and Wang Lin walked out of the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World together as they headed towards the Tripitaka Block. As they neared the entrance of the block, Lin Feng's brows raised as he revealed a smile. "Wang Lin, it seems like one of your peers has achieved something."

Chapter 357: Flourishing

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

As Lin Feng sensed the movement within the Tripitaka Block, he realized that someone had just attained a new level of understanding. The person had built on the foundation of the Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams and infused his own understanding of Taoism to form a new mantra.

Wang Lin also revealed an expression of happiness, "I guess it should be Second Senior." Previously, it had been Zhu Yi who had done up the Yi Zi's Eight Trigrams Variorum. Zhu Yi was indeed better in terms of the understanding of Taoism as well as its theoretical aspects.

As both Master and disciple entered the Tripitaka Block and reached the center of the book depository, they saw Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest sitting back facing one another. They formed a circle as they all faced shelves of books.

And on the book shelf directly in front of them, they all had a blur figure of a manual which was concentrating into a solid object. It was only a step away from fully materializing into a solid manual.

Amongst them, of course, Zhu Yi's Taoism manual had already fully materialized and had transformed into the form of an old classic, as it sat peacefully on the shelf.

Sensing the presence of Lin Feng and Wang Lin, Zhu Yi opened his eyes as he stood up and bowed in the direction of Lin Feng. "Greetings, Master."

Following which, he turned to look at Wang Lin, "Congratulations, Third Junior, for breaking through into the Aurous Core stage."

Wang Lin nodded his head, "You are too polite, Second Senior."

Zhu Yi retrieved the old classic from the bookshelf as he handed it over to Lin Feng. "Master, this is the accumulation of my insights, the Golden Chapters of the Yansheng Eight Trigrams. I hope that Master can take a look at it."

Lin Feng held onto the old classic as he activated his supernatural awareness and scanned the contents of the manual. He nodded his head and muttered, "Not bad. Very good."

Zhu Yi had an organized and logical structure in his interpretation of Taoism. From the content, the Golden Chapters of the Yansheng Eight Trigrams was Taoism built from the foundation of the Yi Zi's Eight Trigrams Variorum.

But from the depth of knowledge, the Golden Chapters of the Yansheng Eight Trigrams was not simply an extension or an upgrade on the Yi Zi's Eight Trigrams Variorum. Instead, it was an extension from the foundation as well as the integration of Zhu Yi's understanding and comprehension of the Heaven and Earth.

Lin Feng could very clearly identify shadows of the beautiful writing which Zhu Yi had constructed back in the Sea of the Northern Wind.

The Golden Chapters of the Yansheng Eight Trigrams was infused with Zhu Yi's outlook on humanity. He believed that the way forward was progressive and filled with self-improvement and the spirit of pioneership.

Lin Feng thought hard, "As of now, the Golden Chapters only had two introductory paragraphs. If Zhu Yi could complete the entire manual, his understanding of the Heaven and Earth as well as Taoism would be truly remarkable. Nonetheless, the Golden Chapters are already exceptional."

One could only imagine how smooth-sailing the training for the new disciples would be if they were to train with both of Zhu Yi's Yi Zi's Eight Trigrams Variorum and the Golden Chapters of the Yansheng Eight Trigrams.

But because Zhu Yi believed in the importance of hardwork and experimentation, he would not let his disciples take the easy way out without learning anything. However, the seamless transition between the Yi Zi's Eight Trigrams Variorum and the Golden Chapters would definitely aid in the advancement in training.

In fact, many of the traiuals in the other Sects also followed this rule of seamless progression.

Lin Feng paused for a good long while before continuing, "Zhu Yi, your work is good. HOwever, you must exercise great precaution when you select your disciples."

Zhu Yi was a smart boy and definitely understood what Lin Feng was trying to drive at. He replied, "I understand. I will definitely not nurture a bunch of disciples who merely follow the book."

"I have actually integrated this rule in the Golden CHapters that training has to be one that constantly breaks barriers. Only if they have developed such an understanding, they can then fully comprehend the wisdom and intricacies of Taoism."

Zhu Yi continued, "This will be the mantra which I plan to spread to my disciples which are at the Foundation Establishment stage. When they have attained the Aurous Core stage, they will definitely form an even stronger understanding."

Lin Feng nodded his head with satisfaction. He turned around and looked at Xiao Yan and the rest before realizing that XIao Yan and Xiao Budian's manuals had materialized simultaneously.

Both Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian opened their eyes and saw their Master. They smiled and greeted, "Greetings, Master."

And as they saw Wang Lin, who was standing by the side, they smiled together and conratulated him.

Wang Lin did not take any offence from their gleeful nature as he merely shook his head and smiled, "I have only just began my journey. Please do not mock me, little junior."

Lin Feng smiled, "Show me what you all have comprehended." Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian nodded their heads together, "Please look through our work, Master."

"Ahhh… As expected." Lin Feng received their manuals and as he glimpsed at the titles on the manuals, he roughly knew of the contents within.

Xiao Yan's manual was titled, the Burning Heavens Manual, and it elaborated on the evolution and intricacies of the power of fire within the limits of the Heaven and Earth.

It might be because of his training in the Art of the Fire, Xiao Yan's Mantra might seem to have deviated from the Grand Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams. In fact, it seemed as though he had comprehended an entirely novel fire mantra on his own.

But the truth was that the very foundation of Xiao Yan's mantra was still rooted in the wisdom of the Grand Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams.

It was just like Xiao Yan's ascension into the Aurous Core stage.

When Zhu Yi and Xiao Budian had survived the tribulations of the Yin fire, and attained the Aurous Core stage, they had all extracted the eight different types of spiritual energy from their natural surrounding to form the images of the Eight Trigrams.

It was only Xiao Yan's attainment of the Aurous Core stage that drew the power and might of the Yin fire. That was not because Xiao Yan could only extract the fire-type spiritual energy from the natural surrounding but because of how he had already kindled and ignited all the other spiritual energy into the fuel for the Yin fire.

After Xiao Yan had comprehended the essence of the Grand Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams, he had slowly but surely went onto the path of specialization as he focused on developing his powers in the Art of the Fire. All other insights which he had gained along the way were merely used as a reference for insights on the Art of the Fire.

When Xiao Yan was initially training with the Grand Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams, like Zhu Yi, he had many different insights. But differing from Zhu Yi's ones on creation, Xiao Yan had insights on the art of destruction. Hence, he invented his first own spell, the Crash of the Eight Trigrams.

However, in the subsequent months of training, Xiao Yan's comprehension of the mantra had gone through other developments.

Of course, the developments were definitely somewhat linked to his cultivation in the Grand Sun Primordial Fire as well as the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire. But fundamentally, they were linked to his personality and interests.

Hence, if one were to be extremely objective about it, Xiao Yan's Burning Heavens Manual was even more tightly-knitted to the Grand Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams than Zhu Yi's Golden Chapters.

It could be considered as a enormous branch off from the Grand Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams which had elaborated on the Art of the Fire extensively.

On this point, Xiao Budian's mantra was similar in this manner but vastly different in context.

Xiao Budian had named as manual as the True Path of the Wind and Thunder, an integration of his understanding and insights on the Grand Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams as well as the Heaven and Earth.

Different from Xiao Yan's complete specialization, Xiao Budian did not attempt to split both the elements of thunder and wind apart. In his manual, both the Wind and Thunder coexisted in harmony and built on each other's strengths.

This built on the foundation of Xiao Budian's comprehension of the Grand Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams as it pertained to the insights gained about the power of two extremely polar elements and the integration of these elements.

As his understanding of the creative abilities of the dual polarities and the power of the Eight trigrams improves, Xiao Budian could break free from the limits of the dual polarity and progress to higher levels.

That was how Xiao Budian's latest technique, the Xuanhuang Four-Words Mantra, arose.

As Lin Feng browsed through both of thir manuals, he nodded his head with satisfaction, "Not bad, I can see the effort put in."

Contrasting to Xiao Yan and the other two who were already in the Aurous Core stage, Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing who were still at the Foundation Establishment stage were much slower. Both of them had entered Lin Feng's tutelage much later and definitely had a much more limited time to examine and understand the Grand Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams.

But nonetheless, both of their bookshelf already had a faint figure of a manual and was solidifying by the minute.

This meant that they were already on the right path. In fact, it reflected the independence in their thinking and continuous refining of their insights.

"Master, I shall begin with my own meditation as well." Wang Lin spoke as he planned to move towards the foot of one of the bookshelves. But he was stopped by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled, "Wang Lin, don't worry. Let's wait for Hongyan and Yang Qing to finish with their techniques first. I have another thing for the rest of you. Once you all are done with that matter, you can then go and invent your techniques."

Wang Lin was caught by surprise but nodded his head, "Yes Master." He glanced towards Xiao Yan and the other two, trying to beckon for an answer to his head full of questions.

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and Xiao Budian were also equally perplexed as they looked at one another before shaking their head.

They could only look at one another with a look of curiosity as they waited silently.

Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing had almost completed their mantras at the same time. That was because despite of Hongyan's higher level of cultivation, Yang Qing had greater intelligence. Both their manuals materialized at the same time, forming two rolls of scriptures.

As they opened their eyes, they bowed in unison to Lin Feng as they sent their greetings. They were both astounded to find Wang Lin at the Aurous Core stage as they congratulated him.

Lin Feng swept his glance across both of their manuals and not to his surprise, they contained the crystallization of their insights and training. Despite being slightly premature, they all contained the beginning of something great.

Yue Hongyan's mantra was called the True Art of the Void. Like Xiao Yan, she had chosen to focus on a specific path and its contents were all regarding the mysteries and complexities of the void.

Before this, Yue Hongyan's understanding about the void was different from Xiao Budian's. Hers was all about the destructive capablities of the void.

But today, in her mantra, the True Art of the Void, Lin Feng could see another significant leap in her conceptualization as her comprehension had gained a few more dimensions and had complexified.

Yang Qing also handed his mantra to Lin Feng; he smiled in embarrassment, "It's not really anything much."

Lin Feng glanced through the manual with his supernatural awareness and smiled, "It's already quite impressive. It seems like you have not wasted your time. After this round of refining, you are ready to erect your crucible."

In fact, from Lin Feng's perspective, it was not just Yue Hongyan or Yang Qing, but even Zhu Yi and the rest, who still had many loopholes in their manuals. It was all due to their current cultivation status.

Lin Feng firmly believed that in the future, they would continue to refine their mantras till perfection.

And when that time arrived, the Celestial Sect of Wonders would have countless powerful mantras that could challenge any of the most treasured mantras in the other Sects.

"Excellent, I want all of you to follow me," Lin Feng smiled as he led his disciples out of the Tripitaka Block. As they stood on the peak of Mount Yujing, Lin Feng brought his hands together to form a symbol.

"Boom!" And the entire Mount Yujing trembled.

Chapter 358: Finally Masters

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

As Mount Yujing trembled, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest all revealed a shocked look on their faces.

Because they had just witnessed the excavation of six humongous boulders from the body of Mount Yujing. Lin Feng had removed these six boulders and allowed them to float freely in the void above.

These six boulders were glittering like humongous pieces of white jade and they were all roughly the size of a little knoll. They were all of a different shape which was a fact Lin Feng did not seem to be bothered by.

These boulders might have left the main body of Mount Yujing but they were not completely out of its control. They were like satellites orbiting about Mount Yujing as though they were guarding the spiritual mountain.

At this moment, Lin Feng was one with Mount Yujing, the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds as the four different parties achieved a harmony and balance never attained before.

The Black Heavenly Treasure Tree's branches trembled as six unbelievably thick branches of leaves which were extremely close to the main trunk of the tree detached themselves. Following which, they transformed into six streaks of colorful light as they connected themselves between the edge of Mount Yujing and the humongous boulders which were afloat.

The Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds surged as they formed purple bridges over the branches between Mount Yujing and the six boulders.

The purple clouds expanded and enveloped the six boulders, giving them some sort of independence while maintaining the intimate connection with Mount Yujing.

After this step, Lin Feng revealed a smile as he turned around to look at his disciples.

Xiao Yan and the five other disciples stared blankly at what laid in front of them. It took them a good while before they regained their senses. They stared at each other before looking back at the white jade boulders that were suspended in mid-air outside of Mount Yujing. They all had their guesses and revealed a gleeful expression.

Xiao Budian quickly swallowed his saliva as he leaned in closer to Lin Feng, "Master, are those ours?"

The rest of them, while maintaining their gaze on the boulders, listened hard at the conversation as they were equally eager to find out the answer to Xiao Budian's question.

Lin Feng smiled, "I am very satisfied with the progress of all your different mantras. All of you have met my expectations and even exceeded for some of you. And just as what I have mentioned earlier, all of you can become a Master of your own right already."

"Since all of you are going to become Masters, you must have your own cultivation abode. Hence, I opened six abodes for all of you!"

Lin Feng gazed at Xiao Yan and the rest before continuing, "A baby bird eventually has to leave the nest to battle with the wind currents. Hence, today marks the first step towards independence. All of you might have left my abode but you will all still be on Mount Yujing."

"In the days ahead, once your cultivation has improved to the next level, and have found a suitable abode outside of Mount Yujing, you can then create your own little world over there."

Xiao Budian was alarmed by Lin Feng's words as he exclaimed, "Master, are you chasing us away?"

Lin Feng chuckled as he shook his head before patting on his head, "My foolish boy, as long as you all wish, you all can return as you wish to visit me on Mount Yujing. If you all do not want to leave or cannot find a satisfactory abode, I am definitely fine with you all staying here forever. It's not as if I can't support all of you."

Xiao Yan remained silent before stepping forward suddenly and giving Lin Feng a bow with utmost respect. "I will always be the disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. I will always be Master's disciple. Till the end of time!"

The rest of them, including the usually naughty Xiao Budian, immediately put on a solemn disposition as they bowed towards Lin Feng, "We will always be the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders . We will always be Master's disciple!"

Lin Feng looked at them and revealed a blissful smile before nodding his head gradually, "All of you do not have to be so uptight about this. For me, I only want to see all of you achieving the success that you deserve."

Lin Feng pointed at the six boulders outside of Mount Yujing before continuing, "Although the six boulders do not have much of a difference, I still think that it will be better if you guys could go and choose your own boulder. After selecting, a lot of chores would await you."

"You all will have to decide how to decorate your own abodes. You all will have to be resourceful and settle your own problems. I will only come in if you guys can't handle it yourself."

Xiao Yan and the rest were all elated and excited when they heard what Lin Feng had just said.

The six of them stared at one another before Xiao Yan broke the silence. "When it comes to such matters, the Big Senior should allow his juniors to pick first."

Zhu Yi smiled and echoed, "Big Senior is correct. In that case, we shall start from the smallest then."

Wang Lin, Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing nodded their heads as Xiao Budian grinned cheekily. "Hee! Hee! I shall not waste any time then!"

He leaned towards Lin Feng before whispering, "Master, can you whisper to me which is the best boulder?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yan and the rest pointed at him before laughing, "You little brat! It must be you whenever it comes to sleazing away!"

Xiao Budian grinned as he made faces at them.

Lin Feng smiled, "They are indeed all the same. But in the future, how they will look will depend on your management."

Xiao Budian scanned the different boulders before leaping onto one of the colorful bridges formed from the branch and the purple clouds. He smiled and exclaimed, "I shall pick this then."

Following which, he turned his head to look at his future abode and patted himself on the back. "What a great abode!"

Lin Feng smiled as he was equally satisfied with his own work. The work earlier also demanded Lin Feng to put in his 100%. In fact, he was stretched beyond his old limits.

The connection between him, Mount Yujing, the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds had never been so tight. It was only because of this that he was able to create these six independent abodes which were still tightly bound to Mount Yujing.

Xiao Yan and the rest were mulling over their techniques in the Tripitaka Block and consolidating their insights and learning. It was definitely very effective in improving one's technique and understanding of Taoism. For Lin Feng, what he just did had achieved the same effect as well.

Now, Lin Feng might not have improved on his techniques. But instead, his foundation was much stronger than before and subsequent training in the future would be definitely more smooth-sailing than before.

After Xiao Budian, the rest of them all picked a single abode. Just as what Lin Feng had said, all of these abodes were all made from the same Mount Yujing stone. They were all of the same size and hence, there was nothing for the disciples to complain about.

After witnessing the completion of the selection, Lin Feng led them onto Xiao Budian's abode.

"Tianhao, you will have to build your own abode yourself. Only if you are unable to do so, I will step in to assist you." Lin Feng led the group across the colorful cloud bridge as they stepped onto the humongous boulder. Lin Feng smiled at Xiao Budian and continued, "Put in more effort into this. You will be residing here for awhile."

Xiao Budian nodded his head excitedly as he put his hands behind his back and walked around like an adult.

He radiated a relaxed aura but he was walking at a really slow pace. It was as though he made a deliberate pause with every step.

As his step landed, there would be changes to the shape of the boulder as the surrounding purple clouds vibrated with the impact.

Lin Feng was also not lazing by the side as he utilized his mana to bridge the connection between the boulder and Xiao Budian. His assistance allowed Xiao Budian to refine the boulder with greater ease.

The entire process which Xiao Budian was revamping his abode was exactly the same process with the refining of the boulder.

"This boulder contains the essence of time." As Xiao Budian strolled back and forth, he had already started to comprehend some of the principles behind the boulder. He suddenly stopped walking as he put his hands together and muttered, "Verse!"

As the "Verse" character began to be activated, the speed at which the boulder was being refined increased tremendously. And as he began the process of refining the boulder, Xiao Budian's understanding of the Xuanhuang Four-Word Mantra became even stronger. And towards the end, even the "Uni" character started to reveal itself.

Xiao Budian stood peacefully on the highest point of the white jade boulder, where the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds orbited around him as both the "Uni" and "Verse" were used in tandem,

Lin Feng smiled gently as he extended his finger and made a tapping motion in the direction of the white jade boulder. Following which, the shape of the boulder began to undergo metamorphosis.

The tip of the boulder where Xiao Budian was at began to sink and soon enough the huge depression formed became a humongous valley.

Standing in the middle of the valley, Xiao Budian looked upwards for a good long while before he retracted his mana and spell. He gazed at Lin Feng and said, "Master, I think I might have just saw how I ccan potentially develop the Xuanhuang Four-Word Mantra. The feeling was amazing."

Lin Feng smiled, "That is normal. You understanding of Taoism and your own techniques has improved once again. This is merely the beginning of your long journey."

"Now, it is the time for you to give your abode a name."

Xiao Budian smiled and leapt from the bottom of the valley onto the colorful cloud bridge without any hesitation. He found a nice spot on the right side of the cliff and wrote with his bare hand.

Wasteland Valley.

After finishing, Xiao Budian began to put on his adult act again as he hugged his fist and greeted everyone, "Welcome to my Wasteland Valley. Please make yourself feel comfortable."

The others all felt a very ancient and primal aura from the valley as though they had returned to the ancient times. However, within this aura, they also felt a strong aura of vitality as though there were limitless possibilities. It was as if life and creation had just began and were ready to lead all life in their evolution.

Lin Feng grinned as he placed his palms together and two streaks of light emerged from the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World. They flew across the sky and landed in the Wasteland Valley. They were none other than the Flowing Wind Sigil and the Thunder Element Sigil. They now resided at the center of the valley and formed the Wind and Thunder Parturition Talisman Formation.

"In the future, this formation shall belong to your abode." Lin Feng continued, "We shall leave the Kui Cow King on Mount Yujing for now. Once we have found a suitable wind-class spiritual beast, we shall then shift both of them here."

Xiao Budian nodded his head fervently, "I will shift all the beasts, herbs and fruits to my abode."

"You little brat!" Lin Feng smiled as he shook his head before turning to look at Xiao Yan and the rest. "Let's go. Let's see how you all will renovate your abode."

Chapter 359: Our Own Little Abodes

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Everyone, including Xiao Budian, left the Wasteland Valley and moved towards Yang Qing's white jade boulder.

Yang Qing's face revealed a nervous look because unlike Xiao Yan and the rest who had already attained the Aurous Core stage or Yue Hongyan who was already at the final level of the Foundation Establishment stage, he was not really confident of opening his own abode and tutoring his own disciples.

However, Lin Feng's supportive attitude towards his self-invented techniques did give him some confidence in his own abilities.

With Lin Feng's help and assistance, Yang Qing also managed to refine his own white jade boulder. However, because of his lower cultivation level, he took quite a bit more time than Xiao Budian.

Yang Qing also did not play around too much with the shape of the boulder. He only created a hole out of the boulder.

Besides this, within the cracks of the boulder, a stream of emerald green water flowed. It was none other than the Grand Moon Primordial Water.

The Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds landed on the rocks on the boulder and turned into soil. The soil cultivated a huge amount of flora, giving the mountainous abode an extremely green look.

Within the cave in the boulder, there was another hole above it. The hole lit up the entire cavern and gave it an aura of serenity and tranquillity. If one were to listen carefully, one would notice the trickling sound of the Grand Moon Primordial Water in the cavern.

Just from the living environment, Yang Qing's cave would definitely be given a high score for giving a refreshing and cleansing feeling.

As Yang Qing stood outside and stared blankly at his cavern, Yue Hongyan asked his softly, "So what are you going to name your cave? Cloud Water Cave?"

"No." Yang Qing paused for a good long while before continuing after a deep breath, "I will never forget the Cloud Water Cave. But I am now the disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. I am also the disciple of our Master. Master has always reminded us to look forward and not always mull on the past."

He lifted his hand and wrote these two words, "Nirvana World" on the stone wall next to the cave.

"I shall attain nirvana here. Master has given me a new life. My abode shall be called the Nirvana World."

Yue Hongyan, Xiao Yan and the rest all revealed a genuine smile after hearing what Yang Qing had said. Xiao Yan stepped forward and patted on Yang Qing's shoulder, "All of us, because of Master, have achieved a new life. We have all achieved our own nirvana."

Yang Qing was a little taken aback, "I must have been too rash with my words."

Zhu Yi shook his head and smiled, "They must have come from the bottom of your heart. Even if they were used too lightly, it shouldn't matter."

"You can name whatever name you want. Yang Qing, you can make your own call." Lin Feng smiled and continued, "But Master must remind all of you that you own whatever achievements that you have accomplished. I have merely showed you all the way."

"If all of you did not have the potential or abilities, even if I were God, I would not be able to nurture such wonderful disciples."

Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "Alright. Let's move on. Now, let's pay a visit to Hongyan's abode."

Hongyan smiled, "I might really need Master's help." The group of people moved to Yue Hongyan's white jade boulder and under the assistance from Lin Feng, she also managed to refine her boulder.

After refining the boulder into the shape of a valley, Yue Hongyan turned around and bowed to Lin Feng. "Master, I need your help."

Lin Feng returned the question, "How do you want me to assist you?"

Yue Hongyan twitched her lips as her eyes revealed her sense of longing and anguish for her hometown. She slowly spoke, "I want the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds to be transformed into a sky full of snow. I might have comprehended quite a bit of the Celestial Way of Eight Trigrams. But I do not know enough about the elements of Wind and Snow."

Everyone present knew of Yue Hongyan's painful past as a heavy mood draped itself over the group.

Lin Feng nodded his head and flicked his finger as the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds which enshrouded the valley transformed into the palest snowflakes. The snowflakes began to fall and soon enough, the entire valley had transformed into a winterland.

Yue Hongyan also mustered her mana and transformed parts of the purple clouds into gales as the howling sound of the wind began to fill the valley.

She gazed blankly at the sight of the wind and snow and was lost for words. "It had been so long… Far too long…"

Lin Feng looked down and sighed before writing two words on the stone wall.

Blizzard Valley.

"Thank you Master." Yue Hongyan regained her composure and thanked Lin Feng from the bottom of her heart. This was exactly the name she had in mind for her abode.

The redhead was an extremely strong headed girl and her fragility was also a split-second thing. Very quickly, she had retracted from her own sadness and under the lead of Lin Feng, the group moved onto Wang Lin's abode.

Wang Lin's abode caught everyone by surprise.

Xiao Budian leaned towards XIao Yan and the rest and whispered, "I thought Third Senior's abode will be buffeted by Yin wind and filled with the aura of destruction…"

Xiao Yan and Yue Hongyan nodded their heads in agreement. Yang Qing swallowed his saliva before whispering, "Although I did imagine Third Senior's abode to be as bad as what Tianhao had said, but I would have thought that it would be filled to the brim with the River Styx Primordial Water…"

Xiao Yan gave a dry laugh, "I thought so as well. But it seems like Third Junior had done something really different."

Zhu Yi who had kept silent all the while suddenly spoke, "Third Junior's understanding of Taoism is definitely much greater than all of us have imagined."

He turned around to look at Xiao Budian and Xiao Yan, "Third Junior might only be at the initial level of the Aurous Core stage but his comprehension and insights might be better than ours - even though we might already be at the middle level of the Aurous Core stage."

Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian gaze at Wang Lin who was standing afar, as they reflected hard about what they had just heard.

Even Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing seemed to have be drawn into Zhu Yi's idea as they pondered hard about what they had learnt thus far.

Lin Feng smiled at the side and thought, "Wang Lin has fully illustrated his perfect score for Intelligence at this moment. I, myself am also quite excited to see what mantra would he come up with later at the Tripitaka Block."

Wang Lin's abode was very similar to Yang Qing's one. There were no major changes to the shape of the white jade boulder. He had only utilized the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds to grow some plants after converting them into soil. Subsequently, Wang Lin built a little wooden hut on the grassland.

There was nothing special nor outstanding about his abode. None of Xiao Budian or Yang Qing's funny guesses were correct as there was neither the aura of destruction nor the River Styx Primordial Water.

It was just this simple and normal. Within the mountain of greenery, there were some wood which fenced up a nice little courtyard. Within the courtyard, there was a little wooden hut. The hut was neither run-down nor extravagant. It was just a simple hut.

Wang Lin stood at the entrance of the courtyard and looked refreshed and energized. He revealed a smile as he looked at Lin Feng and the rest.

Lin Feng nodded his head, "Reverting to the simple and real. A comprehension of what is reality and what is imagined. Good job, Wang Lin!"

Wang Lin smiled and thanked everyone. "I have to thank all my Seniors and Juniors for this. When I was watching all the mantras and techniques that all of you had created, I learnt quite a bit and hence was able to make another significant progress right after forming my Aurous Core."

Zhu Yi spoke in the most sincere of tones, "What I have seen today have just enlightened me once more. I need to thank you for teaching me more about Taoism."

Xiao Yan, XIao Budian, Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing also took their turn to send their gratitude to Wang Lin.

Lin Feng smiled, "Wang Lin, come and give your abode a name."

Wang Lin nodded his head and went on to pen the name down. This time round, he did not carve it on any of the stone walls. He simply wrote down the name on the wooden fence.

Forest Abode.

Seeing this, Lin Feng laughed loudly and in his mood of elation, he casted a spell which brought everyone to Zhu Yi's abode.

Upon reaching Zhu Yi's white jade boulder, Zhu Yi did not begin with the refining process straight away. Instead, he stood quietly on the boulder as he stared hard at it as his eyes reflected the glitter from the boulder.

Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing could vaguely grasp what Zhu Yi was thinking. But it was as though they were staring at a flower through a fog - it was not very clear.

However, Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian could see very clearly what Zhu Yi had planned to do. Xiao Yan sighed, "After seeing Third Junior's abode, it's not only just Second Junior who is a bit lost. I am also a bit confused with the direction I should go with my abode."

Xiao Budian smiled, "Luckily, I have already set up my abode. If not, I would have to crack my head as well."

Wang Lin was laughing at the side but he remained silent about it. He was staring at Zhu Yi with much curiosity as he wondered what Zhu Yi would choose to do.

"Even if you hesitate now, I still believe that Zhu Yi will still make the same decision as you." Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yan and smiled.

Xiao Yan grinned, "Master, you really do understand me. But it is really not easy to make up one's mind when it comes to such matters."

Lin Feng looked at Xiao Budian, "As for you, Tianhao, you might have made the first move and missed out on the pain of having to make up your mind. But if you were placed in the same position, you would be no better than Xiao Yan or Zhu Yi."

Xiao Budian giggled as Lin Feng saw how his words had hit hard on Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing. Lin Feng continued, "Let's watch what Zhu Yi will do next. It's probably going to be a good lesson for all of you."

Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing were jolted out from their thoughts as they shifted their gaze onto Zhu Yi. And just at this moment, Zhu Yi finally began with the refining process for the white jade boulder.

Lin Feng gave a reassuring smile as he summoned his mana to assist Zhu Yi.

Zhu Yi's boulder began to morph in its shape rapidly as the lengths and breadths began to change. Very quickly, a flat piece of ground was formed. It looked just like a flat piece of chessboard that was bridged to Mount Yujing by the rainbow cloud bridge.

On the flat piece of ground, the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds began to gather and as they concentrated, they began to form a humongous temple.

The exterior of the temple was not extravagant, but it definitely looked grand. It was as though it had great historic value within its humongous structure. There was no aura of authority nor any snobbish intent in its design. However, it still managed to radiate an aura which people would bow down to and submit themselves for guidance and mentorship.

Driving forward from the past into the future.

Constant pursuit for self-improvement.

To better the predecessors.

To outperform oneself.

This temple was the physical manifestation of Zhu Yi's philosophy.

Zhu Yi did not stop his refining as he planted a calligraphy writing on the signage above the temple.

Heavenly Temple.

The Heaven divinatory symbol was the first symbol amongst the sixty-four symbols. Just as how the Heaven outlasts time, a man should continue to refine his abilities and character to outlast all difficult times. The positive character and spirit would allow a man to create opportunities, establish harmony and enjoy truth and purity.

After seeing it, Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing revealed a look of comprehension as they exclaimed in unison, "So that's what it's all about!"

Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian looked at each other before smiling. Wang Lin also revealed a reverent look as he nodded his head.

Chapter 360: Almost there. Just a bit more

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

As Lin Feng watched Zhu Yi refined the white jade boulder and constructed his Heavenly Temple, his face also revealed a heartwarming smile.

Wang Lin's comprehension of the importance of returning to the fundamentals and staying real had indeed inspired Zhu Yi and Xiao Yan and was indeed worthy of praises.

But nevertheless, that was a path that belonged to Wang Lin. For Zhu Yi and Xiao Yan, it remained merely as an inspiration. If they were to go ahead and emulate Wang Lin, they would have discarded their own characteristics in pursuit of someone else's.

Zhu Yi had understood the logic of this and hence made the right decision. Zhu Yi, Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian were very similar to Wang Lin as they were all very determined and independent people. They would not easily be moved by the opinions or words of others.

Even Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing would have made the right choice after understanding the essence of what had just happened. As of now, it was simply because of their lower cultivation level that they could not understand it right away.

All the six disciples looked at each other before laughing in unison.

Xiao Budian smiled at Wang Lin and said, "Third Senior, you have failed. You did not manage to persuade any of them."

Wang Lin giggled and shook his head, "I am happy that I have failed."

Xiao Yan smiled, "Alright, time for the last man. It's my turn." Everyone followed Xiao Yan to the last white jade boulder. Upon reaching, Xiao Yan began with the refining right away.

Almost all of Xiao Yan's cultivation prowess had been used to suppress the three uncontrollable Primordial Fires in his body. Hence, Lin Feng gave exceptional welfare to him as he used his mana readily to achieve whatever concepts that Xiao Yan had in his head. All that Xiao Yan had to do was to simply make a conscious thought to either reshape a certain rock or decide where to plant certain trees.

Xiao Yan did not change much of the appearance of the boulder. All he did was to open up a cave in the internal part of the boulder. Once the interior had been settled, Xiao Yan walked into the cave before staring at the ceiling for a good long while. He turned around and asked Lin Feng, "Master, I would like to open up seven openings in the ceiling."

A glimmer flashed across Lin Feng's eyes before Lin Feng laughed, "Why would I not want to fulfil your ambitious wish?"

After completing his line, Lin Feng waved his hand and seven holes formed in the ceiling.

Zhu Yi and the rest were also very impressed with Xiao Yan's ambition as they exclaimed, "What a great attitude, Big Senior!"

XIao Yan smiled and activated the mantra within him as three cluster of flames emerged on his body. One of them was a bluish-purple color, the other was a bright golden color and a faint golden color one which had a flash of red and blue color within. They were none other than the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire, the Grand Sun Primordial Fire and the Nanming Primordial Fire.

That was the power of the Primordial Fires which Xiao Yan had extracted from the fire source within his body. Seeing how Xiao Yan had began with his execution of the technique, Lin Feng also activated his mana and assisted Xiao Yan with his control of the flames in case they went out of control.

The three cluster of flames remained relatively peaceful and dormant under the suppression from Lin Feng but no one present could say that they did not felt an inherent sense of fear within them.

The flames were allocated a hole each in the ceiling of the cave and they sat there quietly as they burnt on. The remaining four holes were left empty for now.

Lin Feng helped Xiao Yan to add on a mana seal to stabilize the three Primordial Fires.

Xiao Yan communicated with his abode spiritually and the power of the white jade boulder gradually came to a balancing point with the power of the three Primordial Fires.

From the exterior of the cave, the originally white and flwless humongous boulder now had a bright fireglow emerging from the very center of the mountain. It was as though the entire boulder was burning, giving it a grandiose look.

Lin Feng smiled, "For now, I will use my mana to protect your abode. But onece you have completely subdued and refined the three Primordial Fires, you will make your own rearrangements over here."

Xiao Yan nodded his head, "Yes, Master."

Xiao Budian leaned towards Xiao Yan and smiled, "Big Senior! You are truly an ambitious person! You really want to collect all seven Primordial Fires?"

"I believe no one has done it before, right?" Xiao Yan shrugged an dcontinued, "I shall be the first one then."

Lin Feng stared at him and thought, "Little rascal, I have 200% confidence in you. There is already one Primordial Fire waiting for you on the mountain. We just have to wait for you to completely subdue your current three Fires."

Yang Qing asked out of curiosity, "Big Senior, what are you going to name your abode?"

Xiao Yan giggled, "You know… I'm someone who really prefers to avoid giving myself headaches."

He turned around and looked at Lin Feng, "I will need Master to help me write it down. Since my mantra is called the Burning Heavens Mantra, I shall name my abode as the Inferno Precipice."

Xiao Budian and the rest exclaimed in unison, "Wow, Big Senior! You are really great at giving yourself excuses! How low can you go…"

Lin Feng smiled as he wrote down the two words, "Inferno Precipice" on the boulder.

As the flame in the boulder burnt on, the two words on the boulder appeared to be burning as well, giving it an extra look of vitality.

"I guess we are all done with our arrangements," Lin Feng placed his palms together and the entire structure of the six different abodes as well as their individual cloud bridges trembled as the power of the void flowed through every single structure. After the trembling stopped, the spiritual energy for the entire humongous structure was finally stabilized.

In the realm of the void, the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds transformed into a sea of clouds. Within this voluminous sea, there was the fiery Inferno Precipice, the school-like Heavenly Temple, the serene Forest Abode, the snowy and windy Blizzard Valley, the verdant Nirvana World and the ancient Wasteland Valley. Together, the six abodes surrounded and defended Mount Yujing.

Because of the intimate connection built from spiritual energy, they were all a single entity. But because all the different abodes had their individual personality and design, they could also be viewed as independent entities.

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest were staring in amazement at this sight. On Mount Yujing, Kang Nanhua, Miao Shihao, Jieyu, Kui Cow King, Tun Tun and Zhuge Fengling all came out from their respective areas and were equally stunned by the astounding sight before them. After recovering from the initial shock, they all began to cheer in unison.

A group of second-generation disciples leaned on the window frames of their exquisite dormitories and were equally tongue-tied at the incredible view before them.

In the past, they only knew that their Sect was very strong. But after today, they had definitely raised their expectation and understanding of the resources and power of their Sect.

Seeing the effects of his stun on his disciples and supporting staff, Lin Feng thought, "My Sect is almost there. Just a bit more and it will become unstoppable."

Lin Feng smiled as he activated his mana before throwing the Golden Deer and the Black Spirit Serpent into Xiao Budian's Wasteland Valley. Following which, he threw Tun Tun in as well.

Xiao Budian was originally salivating as he saw how his Master threw in the Golden Deers into his valley. But when he saw Tun Tun being thrown in as well, he was nearly scared out of his wits, "Master! Why did you throw that fellow in as well? Aren't you throwing a fox into a chicken pen?"

Lin Feng smiled, "If I was to look around on Mount Yujing, the only place that could raise her would be your place. Hence, naturally, you will have to assume the responsibility."

The rest of them began to laugh out loud as Xiao Yan patted hardly on Xiao Budian's shoulder. "My dear Little Junior, at least she can eat something normal at your place. It's definitely much better than her running around thieving food. I definitely don't want her to steal my elixirs."

Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, Yue Hongyan were all laughing whereas Yang Qing tried to stifle his laughter. Yang Qing was still very much afraid of Tun Tun.

Yang Qing was in charge of the Medicine Mountains. Because of Tun Tun's frequent visits to steal either the herbs or the Grand Moon Primordial Water, Yang Qing had a bad experience with her; he could not subdue her nor win her in a fight.

Hearing this news, Xiao Budian's small face crumbled into the shape of a Chinese bun.

Lin Feng continued with his plan as he released another two streaks of mana which landed on the Tripitaka Block and the Celestial Golden Pavilion. He turned around and told Xiao Yan and Wang Lin, "I have connected the Celestial Golden Pavilion and the Tripitaka Block to the Inferno Precipice and the Forest Abode respectively. With the token that I will give you, you all may directly enter the buildings from your abode."

Wang Lin nodded his head. Xiao Yan, on the other hand, was still distracted by his elation that Tun Tun had been removed from him. He was still busy staring at the dismayed Xiao Budian.

Lin Feng smiled and asked him, "Why? Do you want me to give you a friend there as well?"

Hearing his Master's words, Xiao Yan gave his widest grin, "Of course not, Master! I am happy with how things are!"

The past few days had been a nightmare and now that he could finally evade from Tun Tun, he definitely did not want Lin Feng to give him another nightmare.

Of course, Lin Feng understood what was going on as he smiled and shook his head. He led the group of disciples back to the Tripitaka Block.

Right before entering the Tripitaka Block, Lin Feng turned his head and told Zhu Yi, "Announce this to the rest, three days later, I will be giving a lecture. All second-generation disciples are to attend. If any of you are interested, you all may come as well."

Zhu Yi replied, "I understand, Master!"

Xiao Yan and the rest looked at one another and smiled, "We will definitely come, Master!" As the immediate disciples of Lin Feng, they had learnt about the immense benefits they had gained from listening to Lin Feng in the past. Hence, they would never complain about sitting in for to many of his lectures.

Lin Feng pointed at all of them and ordered, "Go back to your abodes and prepare. Go and familiarize with your own abode and mantras."

"After my lecture, I will begin the selection of the most outstanding disciples from the second generation. They will then join your abodes and become your disciples."

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest immediately became serious and bowed before Lin Feng. "We will definitely put in our utmost effort with the preparations. Rest assure, Master!"

Lin Feng nodded his head and smiled, "With regards to who will actually become your disciple, it all depends on fate. I will not enforce on the allocation."

"I will decide on the quantity of disciples and they will then choose which one of you to follow. They will have the right to choose and decide." Lin Feng continued, "Subsequently, it will be your turn to decide if you are willing to accept the person as your disciple. You may set questions or create scenarios to test them."

"Hence, in this short span of three days, it is extremely important for you to prepare all these matters. Pay more attention and observe the second-generation disciples. See if any of them are of your liking. This would also be a test of your evaluative abilities. I will then see if the guys you all like can pass my selection criteria."

After hearing these, the group of disciples revealed a smile as they were all eager to try their hands on this new task.

Xiao Budian smiled, "This sounds incredibly exciting but Second Senior has too big of an advantage!"

Zhu Yi smiled and remained silent. But his smile right now was perceived as nothing but despicable. The rest jokingly raised their fists and exclaimed in unison, "Don't be too happy about it! It's still early!"

Lin Feng smiled, "Alright enough. Time to disperse and carry on with your preparations." He turned around and spoke to Wang Lin, "Wang Lin, go and carry on with the preparations first. We will pay a visit to the Tripitaka Block some other time."

Wang Lin nodded his head, "Rest assure Master! I will not forget."

After entertaining his disciples, Lin Feng walked into the Tripitake Block and stood in the center of the book depository. He clapped with his hands and streak after streak of light flew out from his body.

Chapter 361: Someone Planted Moles

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Streak after streak of light flew out from Lin Feng's body, landing on the bookshelves in the library and solidifying into luminous forms of mantras and spells.

Under the effect of Lin Feng's Mana, runes and letters danced in the luminous forms as they gradually materialized as solid forms.

The rate of solidification wasn't especially fast, but there were multiple tones materializing at once.

Apart from the Art of Acalanātha he derived previously, this time, Lin Feng derived the assorted mantras he had collected earlier – Nine Heavens Thunder Technique, Earth Tripitaka, Heavenly Wind Taoist Scripture, Art of the Scattered Stars, River Styx Nirvana Mantra, Supreme Mountain Script, Secret Mantra of the Flowing Sand, Oceanus Long River Mantra, et cetera – as well, in order to augment his library.

In addition, there were still the various Abhijnas. The formation, Nine Heavens Thunder Drawing Formation; the martial manuals, Dimensionless Flying Sword and Flail of Bones; the disappearing technique, Cloud Dragon Disappearing Technique; the spells, Heavenly Cage Mantra and Little Samsara Techniques; et cetera…were all derived out by Lin Feng and placed in the Tripitaka Block together.

As for the Abhijnas derived from mantras, such as the Wild Thunder Blade, Kṣitigarbha Golden-Plated Armour, Acalanātha Inferno, Unholy Marionette, Finger of Styx, et cetera; those did not need to be derived individually, but rather, can be acquired naturally by studying the parent mantras.

If those were studied in isolation, it would be impossible to understand precisely their essence.

Time flew past rapidly. After Lin Feng has finished all of this, he again walked onto the second level of the Tripitaka Block. Looking at the scrolls hanging on the walls of the vast, empty second level, Lin Feng nodded slightly.

Of these, two scrolls have images on them. Those were the results after fusing in the Truths of the Scripture of the Great Heaven-Illuminating Sun and the True Understanding of the Grand Moon; apart from these two scrolls, all other scrolls were completely blank.

Lin Feng flicked his fingers, and the Truths of two more mantras landed on two different empty scrolls. On one scroll, illustrations of the vast earth presented themselves; on the other, images of dark, brooding clouds and howling squalls appeared.

Lin Feng had infused the Truths of the Heavenly Book of Nations and the Aeolus Formless Mantra into the scrolls.

After finishing these, Lin Feng exited the Tripitaka Block, his gaze settling on the Disciple's Abode in the distance.

Despite concentrating on deriving the mantras and Abhijnas, Lin Feng retained his keen grasp of time. Right now, exactly three days have passed since he told the disciples that he would personally open court and give lectures.

At this moment, the many second-generation disciples living in the Disciple's Abode were buzzing with excitement as well. In those three days, they have all been anticipating this very moment.

They have all long admired Lin Feng, their Founder, but it was very hard to even see his face. Now that Lin Feng will personally give lectures, it was like a grand festival to them.

That battle before the Sect-Opening Ceremony, outside Shazhou City – the scene where Lin Feng arrived with Mount Yujing like the Gods themselves, completely annihilating the various powers that have ganged up to attack the Celestial Sect of Wonders with a flick of his fingers – was permanently engraved in the heads of these newly inducted disciples.

The opening of the Six Abodes three days ago, meanwhile, added another magnificent glow to the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Every single disciple had felt a strong sense of pride, in addition to a feeling of longing.

A chubby disciple, bent on the windowsill of the Abode, has an expression of deep yearning on his face. "Brother Feng, when will we be able to have such an abode?"

Besides him, another teenager, a cynical smile on his face, yawned. "Focus on cultivation first, then talk about that. Don't aim too high."

Looking at this teenager, Lin Feng smiled slightly. He has an impression of him – his name was Liu Xiafeng.

That day, the Sect-Opening Ceremony outside Shazhou City, it was him and a few companions who wanted to travel to Shazhou to seek a Master, but were intercepted halfway by men from the Aeolus Sect, causing Xiao Yan and Miao Shihao to go to save them – thus opening the curtains for a great battle.

He seems to be always cynical, not caring about anything at all – but he has a strong, unyielding spirit within him. Back then, him, without much Qi within him at all, refused to yield even when faced with pressure from the Aurous Core elder of the Aeolus Sect and still spoke out, in the name of righteousness.

Seeing that the plump boy was still staring into space, Liu Xiafeng patted him lightly. "'Rather than staring at fish in the creek, it's better to go home and weave a net.' (Translator's Note: Chinese proverb, meaning that it's useless to have only wishes but take no action) Study your mantras and techniques carefully; today the Founder will lecture, and also test us afterwards."

The plump boy nodded. "True, later, I must listen attentively. But Brother Feng, you do not need to worry; you will definitely pass the test."

Liu Xiafeng shrugged. "That's hard to say. Who's to know what will be tested? Even those three might not really be confident, let alone me."

Upon hearing these words, the chubby disciple's face collapsed into one of dismay. "Senior Xu and Senior Li were one thing, but why would even that annoying grassland-dweller have such great talent? Where is the fairness in that?"

As he was speaking, the plump boy suddenly felt a chill down the back of his head. He turned - and was almost blinded by the cold glare. Gasping, he yelled, "Ying Luozha, if you aim at me with that stupid throwing knife of yours again, I will really kill you!"

Everyone in the room seemed to be used to this, while Lin Feng watched the scene with some interest.

As a general rule, people love to form circles – with one particular person at the center, a few will be attracted to form a small group.

The second-generation disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were also split into several cliques based on friendships and relations. For example, Liu Xiafeng, being loyal, optimistic, and cheerful as well as having rather high mastery, was the leader of one of those cliques.

But there were exceptions to every rule. There was also a minority that did not like to stick with others and preferred to be on their own.

The scrawny, dark-skinned teenager that the chubby disciple was glaring at now was the archetypal example. He sat alone in the corner, not conversing with anyone else.

With a brief gaze, Lin Feng knew this teenager was one of the best within all second-generation disciples in terms of Mastery. However, whenever they spot him, everyone around him looked as if they rather keep their distance – it was an expression that possibly borders on disgust.

This teenager named Ying Luozha, thin and dark-skinned, has features that bore a strong resemblance to the people of the grasslands. He was like a lone wolf, sitting there silently and radiating an aura that warned strangers to stay away.

In his right hand was the blade of a short knife; he was holding it upside down as if about to throw it. At this instant, he held the knife before him, squinting, staring at the plump boy besides Liu Xiafeng as if aiming.

Hearing the plump boy's enraged yells, Ying Luozha gave a nonchalant smile, revealing his teeth, glaring white as a wolf's would be. "Kill me? Come, I'm waiting."

The chubby disciple was taken aback; from Ying Luozha, he felt an unconcealed intent to kill.

The brows of everyone else in the room knotted up. Almost every single person has been the target of Ying Luozha's throwing knife; although he has never actually launched his knife, every single person could sense that intimate, murderous air, that intense intent to kill.

"Interesting. A wolf cub." Lin Feng's gaze flickered. He could tell that this teenager has really killed before – and he has the blood of more than just a few on his hands. He had zero scruples about killing another human, either.

Aiming at others with throwing knives was actually just a personal habit of his. However, if the person actually was angered and wanted to make a move, Ying Luozha would not mind sending a knife at all.

In spite of his young age, there was an air of insane bloodlust in his bones, a rogue that cares about no law or rule.

Liu Xiafeng stood up, shielding the plump boy with his body. "Ying Luozha, if you feel you're capable, use it on someone else. Where's the honor in acting tough with your fellow disciples? If you really want to play, I'm here." He said lazily.

Ying Luozha smiled, paying no attention. "You? Not enough."

At this moment, a purple-robed teenager pushed the door open. Looking at Ying Luozha standing off with a crowd alone, he frowned. "Stop playing, it is almost time for the Founder to open court. Everyone, come out and gather."

With the appearance of this person, Ying Luozha instantly abandoned Liu Xiafeng. Staring at the purple-clad teenager, his eyes gleamed coldly. "Xu Yunsheng!"

The purple-clad Xu Yunsheng said calmly, "Let's go. Elder Zhu emphasizes punctuality a lot; everyone, don't be late."

"Everyone, let's go." Liu Xiafeng shrugged, following Xu Yunsheng out first. Everyone else followed behind him; the chubby disciple, stopping at the door, turned to look at Ying Luozha. He snorted; "Ying Luozha, if you're as good as you say, why don't you defeat Senior Xu? Hmpf, from induction to now, you haven't won even once, right?"

Hearing this, Ying Luozha wasn't annoyed, instead nodding. "This time, the test after the Founder's lecture would be an opportunity."

He cracked a smile, a subtle tinge of blood behind his snow-white teeth. Despite wanting to mock him some more, the plump boy swallowed, turning to leave.

Lin Feng's Awareness followed them out of the Disciple's Abode, seeing his twenty-eight second-generation disciples all gathered together. He surveyed them with his gaze – there were four of them who were the most outstanding. With only two months since they were inducted, they already have some mastery of Qi cultivation, having made considerable progress.

Apart from Xu Yunsheng, Ying Luozha and Liu Xiafeng, the last person was a teenage girl. She was wearing the Celestial Sect of Wonders' standard purple robes; tall and elegant, she has a warm smile on her face which, coupled with her graceful and exquisite features, gave off an air of instant attraction.

Lin Feng's gaze turned. "I remember that she's called Li Xingfei?"

The three major circles among the second-generation disciples have her, Xu Yunsheng and Liu Xiafeng respectively at their cores.

Zhu Yi was standing before the Disciple's Abode. After watching silently as the second-generation disciples gathered, with a wave of his hand, he brought all of them up with his Mana and placed them on one of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree's leaves. This leaf measured mus (Translator's Note: Chinese unit of measurement for area; one mu equals one-fifteenth of a hectare) in area, enormous as a vast field.

The disciples sat cross-legged, while Zhu Yi scaled a higher leaf and sat down.

There, Xiao Yan, Xiao Budian, Wang Lin and Yang Qing were already present. Seeing Zhu Yi's arrival, they cupped their hands in greeting, and Zhu Yi returned the gesture.

An instant later, Yue Hongyan flew to the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree along with Xiao Huanzi and the rest of the kids; Lin Feng had given special permission for these kids to attend as well.

As those kids were almost made into human pills previously, they have amassed large amounts of spiritual and medicinal energy within their bodies that can be converted into Qi cultivation mastery with minor help. Thus, right now, their average standard was in fact much higher than the second-generation disciples.

This also led to significant pressure on those teenage formal disciples, such that they did not dare to slack off even a little in their cultivation.

"Alas, in the end, the potential of these kids can't match up to the formal disciples," Lin Feng thought. "Although they can't be as insane as Xiao Yan and co., it's quite possible for a few with great potential to emerge from those second-generation disciples. However…"

Looking at the crowd, a half-smile appeared on Lin Feng's face. "The crops have just ripened and the bear is already here to steal the cob. A little too simple, don't you think so?"

In this batch of disciples, there were moles planted by other powers. Lin Feng has already discovered this at the Discipleship Ceremony; but he did not reveal so, instead passively allowing them to stay.

Right now, Lin Feng was laughing slyly. "A spy whose identity has been exposed, would instead have the opposite effect."

Chapter 362: Lin Feng's Exam

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng has expected since long ago that people will come to his sect to play undercover agent. Still, it was only since the Sect-Opening Ceremony at Shazhou that the Celestial Sect of Wonders captured the attention of the entire world – and the momentum has snowballed to even greater heights at the time of the more recent Spiritual Conference of Huanghai.

The first time he took in disciples, people tried to send in moles. Even though it's only one, but some people really tried very hard.

But for Lin Feng, when he came to the door without leaving his original sect, he saw right through it thanks to the System.

Although Lin Feng could not take him as an Immediate Disciple, but this person could be apprenticed to Xiao Yan or someone else, and so Lin Feng was happy to keep him here. Maybe later, he would be of use, leading to some unexpected gains.

What Lin Feng was really on alert against was someone who was first kicked out of his own sect and then ordered to come here, undercover – that would not be easy to detect.

But someone like this would definitely be unable to cultivate his old sect's mantras, nor receive any benefits from the old sect. His individual loyalty would face serious tests, such that he was even very likely to defect to the Celestial Sect of Wonders instead.

After all, humans were motivated by profit and self-interest. If there was a sect that treats you well in addition having an exceptionally bright future itself, why would you stay loyal to your old master?

Lin Feng was confident – if you try hard enough, there's no one you can't poach…

Of course, those who sent him would definitely have many methods to control him as well. But to Lin Feng, that would mean much more additional room for maneuver – definitely not unsolvable.

"Actually right now is still okay. The next time we open the doors and recruit disciples – that would be the time for mass mole-planting." Lin Feng gazed at one particular figure among the second-generation disciples and started laughing. "Little boy, who exactly sent you?"

"It's okay that I don't know now – I have lots of time to get to the bottom of you."

With one step, Lin Feng exited the Void and was instantly standing on a branch of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree. He was not intentionally radiating any aura of power, but every single person seated on the Treasure Tree leaf felt like they were gazing up at a vast, infinite field of stars.

The Immediate Disciples – Xiao Yan and the rest – were the first to bow. "We are honored to receive you, Master."

The mass of teenagers only then came to their senses, bowing reverently towards Lin Feng along with the kids. "Honored to receive the august presence of the Grandmaster!"

"Rise," Lin Feng's expression was one of calm indifference. His purple robes billowing gracefully, he seemed to be one with the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree. Sitting down on the branch of the Treasure Tree, Lin Feng started his first lecture.

Lin Feng did not choose an overly profound or confounding mantra to explain, instead only selecting a small section from Zhu Yi's Yi Zi's Eight Trigrams Variorum.

He did not go through the mantra word by word for the disciples either; Lin Feng took a section from the book merely as an example to aid in their understanding.

In this lecture, Lin Feng will primarily be guiding them in studying the correct way and methodology to cultivate the mantra, to point out a clear strategic direction for them.

As for exactly how to interpret – that would be left to each person's own intelligence.

Previously, this was how Lin Feng had taught Xiao Yan and the other Immediate Disciples. However, after all, these second-generation disciples could not be compared to them in terms of intelligence and talent, thus it was unavoidable that Lin Feng would have to go into more details.

But overall, Lin Feng's pedagogical philosophy has always been to teach a man to fish rather than giving him the fish.

The fish was the end while fishing was the means. A fish could sate hunger for a day, but not solve the long-term problem of hunger. If you want to always have fish to eat, you have to learn the way to fish.

This, was the core of this lecture of his. After the end of the lecture, Lin Feng allowed them to ask questions, and then he would answer their doubts in cultivation. Those could be doubts in overarching direction, or specific problems in mantra cultivation.

This was originally a privilege reserved for Xiao Yan and the rest of the Immediate Disciples. Today, the second-generation disciples finally have an opportunity – naturally, they'll try to make the most out of it.

To the questions they offered, Lin Feng provided answers one by one patiently, even questions raised by Xiao Huanzi and the other kids.

Upon hearing his words, the teenagers all felt like they have suddenly seen the light – but they were still only thinking about the question linearly. However, Xiao Yan and the other five observing Immediate Disciples were all deep in thought. A mere touch, leading to analogous inspiration.

Lin Feng's answer to one specific question, falling on their ears, would cause divergent thinking that branched out to many other things.

After one lecture, it was Xiao Yan and co. that reaped the greatest benefits.

Zhu Yi sighed quietly, projecting his voice to his five seniors and juniors with Mana. "Only today, having heard Master's lecture, I finally felt that before this, I have been leading people astray all the while."

Staring at each other, Xiao Yan and rest forced out bitter smiles simultaneously. Misery was written all over Xiao Yan's face. "And we still have to take on formal disciples later…I didn't think much of it at first, but now…I'm really getting the jitters."

Xiao Budian, Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing all nodded rapidly. Wang Lin's brows screwed into a frown, "It means that we still have to work harder."

Lin Feng was still oblivious that his lecture had actually first served to pummel the confidence of his Immediate Disciples for taking on disciples.

To be honest, in this lecture, even he himself realized some gains. Just like what he had told Xiao Yan, Xiao Budian and the others, to teach others the Tao, you have to understand it thoroughly yourself first.

The process of teaching disciples would be, for the master, yet another appreciation of the mantra.

Also, teaching those teenagers, still at Qi Cultivation stage, was yet different from teaching Xiao Yan and the others. Those teenagers, who were just beginning their cultivation, would often raise some seemingly out of the blue, absolutely unorthodox questions.

To answer those questions, a deeper understanding of his own Tao on the part of Lin Feng was required. Sometimes, he would even receive some inspiration thanks to those outlandish thoughts – some useful, some not, but a refreshing experience nonetheless.

Just like how sometimes, a simple line from an oblivious child could inspire an adult.

A million ways would, in the end, converge into the Tao. The greatest truths are the simplest – many truths were, actually, all interconnected.

After the end of this lecture, everyone was silent as they have their heads bowed, quietly thinking over every sentence, every single word that Lin Feng had uttered.

The more they think about it, the more thought-provoking those words feel. The more advanced their cultivation, the more they could understand the essence within. Meanwhile, they also have a stronger, more intimate feeling of Lin Feng at this moment – tall as the Heavens, vast as the Oceans. His reaches knowing no bounds, his true depth a mystery.

Lin Feng looked at those before his eyes calmly, an almost invisible smile on his face. He did not hurry them, but waited patiently.

After a long wait, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, and Xiao Budian rose first. They remained silent, but bowed towards Lin Feng simultaneously.

An instant later, the gaze of Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing became clear and unclouded once more. Rising, they bowed deeply in Ling Feng's direction.

Afterwards, the second-generation disciples as well as the sect kids were standing up one by one, all of them bowing reverently towards Lin Feng, their faces full of joy.

Smiling, Lin Feng waved his hand, signaling that they could stop. After the last person also snapped out of his thoughts, laughing, Lin Feng said, "Today, apart from the lecture, I also want to test all of you."

He looked at Zhu Yi, giving him a lighthearted nod.

Zhu Yi bowed before turning to the audience and spoke resoundingly. "Today, any disciple that can pass the Grandmaster's test shall be eligible for promotion. He or she shall be taken on by the six of us as an official disciple and receive our instruction."

"Also, he or she would receive the right the enter the Tripitaka Block, in addition to various other rewards."

The crowd began to become restless. Seeing that they could still remain orderly and generally calm, Zhu Yi nodded, satisfied, before continuing to speak. "Those that fail to pass do not need to be disheartened either. I will still instruct you in mantras and the Tao once a while, and there will still be chances to be promoted to Official Disciple afterwards. All you need to do is to study and cultivate diligently."

"As for you guys, if you wish to find a Master, you can participate in the Grandmaster's test as well. If you can pass, you shall have the opportunity to become our official disciples as well; even if you do not, if your performance is satisfactory, you can become official disciples as well. All on a voluntary basis, of course." This was to Xiao Huanzi and the other kids.

Xiao Huanzi and the rest were, after all, still kids; even though they were also learning some Qi cultivation techniques under Kang Nanhua, Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan, most were still only listening half-heartedly, with only a minority having looks of excitement and anticipation on their faces.

"One question." At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly asked. "Even if we pass the test, we can still only become the Elders' official disciples? If the performance is outstanding, is it possible to become the Founder's Immediate Disciple?"

Expressions of shock appeared on every single person's face as they turned to look at the speaker. He was a scrawny, dark-skinned teenager, with an intractable appearance – Ying Luozha.

Xiao Budian and the others, looking at each other, chuckled. "This rascal…I like him." Xiao Yan said, chortling.

Zhu Yi, shooting a look at Ying Luozha, did not speak, but turned to look at Lin Feng. "If you're excellent enough, why not?" Lin Feng said even-temperedly.

Ying Luozha nodded, pleased, as his eyes shone with excitement.

What caught Lin Feng's attention was that among the audience, apart from Ying Luozha, the eyes of Xu Yunsheng and Li Xingfei were glimmering as well. Even Liu Xiafeng, who was always lethargic and inattentive, appeared serious.

Talents were never lacking in self-confidence. The sight of Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing, who were inducted together with them, being high above them now and even possibly becoming their Master further filled these young potential talents with vigor and fighting spirit.

Lin Feng's lips curved into a slight smile as he flicked his fingers lightly. A stream of purple clouds solidified in mid-air, transforming into a massive purple palace. The palace was right next to the branch of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, its gate facing the crowd.

"My test is simple. What is before you now is a maze; within it, there are branches and paths everywhere, but there is only one entrance and one exit," Lin Feng said dispassionately. "I will give you one day. Those that can walk out of the maze shall be considered to have passed the test."

Gazing at the huge purple palace before them, the teenagers all had blank looks for a moment. They have never thought that Lin Feng's test would be, or at least appeared to be, so simple and trivial.

Even Xiao Yan and the others were somewhat surprised, but after they probed the maze of purple clouds carefully, all of them had looks of realizations on their faces. Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian even started to snigger, not without a healthy dose of schadenfreude.

Yang Qing sighed before reminding the audience sympathetically, "Get yourselves ready and alert. There are many things this maze will test; if you make even the slightest error, you might not make it out in your lifetime, let alone one day."

Chapter 363: Maze of Purple Clouds

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

With those words, the mood grew somber instantly. As many pairs of eyes surveyed the maze of purple clouds once again, their faces bore far more grave and cautious expressions this time.

The members of each circle instinctively transfixed their gazes on Xu Yunsheng, Li Xingfei and Liu Xiafeng.

Xu Yunsheng and Liu Xiafeng looked on at the maze in thoughtful silence, while Li Xingfei let out a quiet sigh. "After entering the maze, most likely, you can only rely on yourself and will be unable to cooperate or assist each other."

Her voice rang sweet and pleasing, but to the ears of those around her right now, decidedly less beautiful.

Xu Yunsheng turned and said calmly, "Although we are not entering one by one, but even if we enter together, we'll most probably be affected by the purple clouds within and be unable to communicate with or help each other."

The crowd stared at each other for a moment before turning to look at Lin Feng, unanimous.

Lin Feng, appearing composed and detached, remained quiet, while beside him, Zhu Yi spoke. "Everyone will enter the maze together. The Grandmaster has fused Spatial Energy into this maze; countless spatial planes are stacked up within the same dimension."

"Every single person who enters the maze will be entering a separate spatial plane. You will be the only one in this plane – and so you can only count on yourself to get out of the maze."

The group of teenagers gasped, taken aback. Looking at the maze of purple clouds before them, fear and anxiety surfaced on their faces.

The expressions of Xu Yunsheng and Li Xingfei turned solemn as well. They had thought that it was just senses, voices, field of vision etc. that would be affected and obscured by the purple clouds, but Lin Feng's ways were obviously beyond their comprehension.

For every person who entered the maze of purple clouds, it would be like entering an independent space alone. There, he was the only person that existed.

Zhu Yi continued speaking. "Of course, out of considerations of fairness, in each spatial plane, the composition of the maze and the directions of the paths are completely the same."

"If there are no other questions, you can start to enter. The countdown starts now – one day."

Gazing at the crowd, Lin Feng's lips abruptly curved upwards. "Here's a hint for you. If you think out of the box and strive to be flexible, while remaining true to your heart and see through all illusions, it's not hard at all to walk out of this maze."

Hearing this, everyone fell deep into thought once again.

After a long while, Liu Xiafeng, staring at the entrance of the maze, suddenly let out a laugh. "Let's go. We seek out Masters and learn crafts – isn't it all for this day?" As his words fell, he strode towards the entrance first. However, there was a figure who was even faster – Ying Luozha.

Ying Luozha, coming to the entrance of the maze, halted his steps slightly as he turned to look at Xu Yunsheng. Although he did not speak, his meaning was clear.

Since their induction, whether it was cultivation and advancement, or Zhu Yi's small exams, Xu Yunsheng has been the first among the second-generation disciples. All the while, Ying Luozha has been that short of Xu Yunsheng by that little bit.

Sometimes, he did not actually lose out – they could be considered to be neck and neck. However, Ying Luozha has never been able to truly defeat Xu Yunsheng even once.

In the eyes of this dark, bony teenager, as lonely and proud as a grey wolf hunting across the Siberian tundra, among all of the second-generation disciples, Xu Yunsheng was the only one fit to be his adversary. Everyone remaining, including Li Xingfei and Liu Xiafeng, was unworthy to be even spoken of.

Facing Ying Luozha's challenge, Xu Yunsheng, appearing calm as ever, nodded slowly.

To him, Ying Luozha was a good rival. Without the pressure of Ying Luozha being just half a step behind him, he might not be able to advance so quickly either.

Seeing that Xu Yunsheng has accepted the challenge, Ying Luozha smiled coldly before turning and entering the maze of purple clouds.

One of the disciples, particularly displeased, said to Xu Yunsheng, "Senior Xu, teach him a good lesson!"

Xu Yunsheng smiled slightly. "Don't worry, I won't lose." Despite those words, Xu Yunsheng did not budge, standing in the same spot silently and just gazed at the maze of purple clouds, transfixed.

Eternities later, after everyone has already entered the maze, Xu Yunsheng let out a long sigh and strode in as well.

"Second Senior, they have all been studying mantras under you – you should know the most. Who do you think would be the first to walk out?" At this moment, Xiao Budian said to Zhu Yi, grinning. "Or to put it another way, how many people do you think will be able to make it out successfully within one day?"

"Those that can make it out could be counted on two hands," Zhu Yi said calmly. "As for the first to make it out of the maze…"

He shot a look at the maze of purple clouds. "This maze of Master's…it appears simple, but to those disciples, it is a trial of all aspects."

"First, it will test their sensory abilities with regards to Spiritual Energy. This is determined by their Innate Ability…the stronger the senses, the easier it is to unravel the mysteries of the maze through the Spiritual Energy activity."

"Next, it will test their Determination. They must be able to remain calm and unperturbed among the chaos of the maze - without emotional fluctuations - in addition to resisting the misleading illusions in order to make the right judgment."

"Finally, it will see their Intelligence and versatility. If they cannot discern the true hidden secret of the maze and find the correct way – and simply walk on blindly and stubbornly – then just like Fifth Junior said, they won't make it out in a lifetime, not to mention a day."

As he said those words, a bitter smile appeared on Zhu Yi's face. "Although I had taught them mantras previously, but after all, I only spent a short time with them. I do not dare to say that I really know them like the back of my hand."

"I can only say that the first to walk out of the maze will only be one of those four – Xu Yunsheng, Ying Luozha, Li Xingfei and Liu Xiafeng." After a slight pause, he added, "Personally, I am leaning towards Xu Yunsheng and Ying Luozha."

Listening to their discussion, a smile appeared on Lin Feng's face as well as he turned to gaze at the empty space next to him. "Nanhua, Shihao, any interest in choosing a few disciples to assume your mantles too?"

Two fissures cracked open in the air as Kang Nanhua and Miao Shihao treaded out. Kang Nanhua, smiling, shook his head. "A gentleman does not covet what others love. I don't think I'll participate."

Miao Shihao chuckled as well. "I do not have the time or mood to guide disciples now. If I really want disciples, Shihao will comb the ends of the world – from the tallest mountains to the deepest seas – to personally select a kid that I fancy most, that is the most suited for my mantra and my Tao."

Gazing at the maze of purple clouds, he said lightheartedly, "But now, I am rather interested as well in who could be the first to walk out of your maze, my Lord."

Lin Feng smiled slightly. "Then, let us wait with bated breath."

Right now, the dozens of people – including the kids – were all inside the maze. However, because of Lin Feng's control of Spatial Energy, every one of them was within an independent spatial plane.

Since they could not count on others, there were only blue-sky ideas and contrarian thinking left as each and every one of them pulled tricks out of their sleeves.

Some employed a more rational method, trying to mark each turn in the maze. Once they meet a dead end, they will return and attempt another path.

Li Xingfei was an example of such an approach. The maze was gigantic to the extreme, as if its borders stretch on infinitely; although her patience was excellent, but faced with endless forks and dead ends, even she was worried.

Especially during one particular time that she retraced her steps, with her sharpness, Li Xingfei realized that the marks she left behind have been tampered with. If she has not realized just in time, she would probably have taken a wrong path and be completely lost in the maze.

Li Xingfei gasped out in fear. Her previous marks has always worked perfectly well; if she has developed complacency as a result and lowered her guard, then this sudden move would be a deadly strike.

For this approach of leaving marks, as long as there was an error in one that was not caught in time, and you just continue walking on according to the marks, your errors will snowball until it was no longer possible to turn back.

Li Xingfei, being naturally alert and meticulous, realized it early and corrected her errors. However, many who has used the same method as her wasn't able to find the problem in time and simply never thought that this maze will sneakily tamper with the marks and coordinates left by visitors – they ended up so confused by the maze that they could not even tell which direction they were walking in anymore.

As time progressed, the maze was no longer satisfied by just tampering with marks and was so shameless as to even forge marks, placing marks even at paths the visitor has never entered. As a result, some disciples were irreversibly lost within a dead path; they couldn't even return to the entrance, not to mention finding the exit.

Some used the method of exploring while leaving marks, but others chose a more intuitive approach – walking purely based on instinct.

It sounds absurd, but in fact, despite nominally depending on instinct, it was still fundamentally based on sensing the flow of Spiritual Energy in the maze.

Liu Xiafeng used such a method. As he foraged ahead, every time he encountered a fork, he chose a path based on his first impression almost without hesitation.

"This method can work." A smile appeared on Liu Xiafeng's face. Walking until this point, amazingly, he did not meet even a single dead end. Every choice made at a fork has led to the correct path.

No bumping into dead ends, no wasting time on unnecessary routes. This way, Liu Xiafeng was naturally rather efficient in his progress.

"No matter how large a maze is, as long as it is not as ridiculous as to be truly boundless, there will definitely be a day you clear it." Liu Xiafeng thought, but god knows that after what seemed like an eternity of walking, there was still little visible result. He did never encounter a dead end, but the maze seemed as if it was truly limitless.

"The flow of Spiritual Energy in the maze is misleading me." Liu Xiafeng was fast to realize that he has fallen victim to the maze of purple clouds' trick. "There are some crossroads in the maze. I definitely took a lot of repeated routes, and that's why I still can't make it out – I might even have been walking around in circles within an area."

He did not become despondent; neither did he lose his temper. This teenager, who appeared sloppy and careless, was actually extraordinarily calm.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Xiafeng started to turn around and walk in the direction he came from. This time, he was even more careful; when he encountered overly prominent Spiritual Energy flows that pointed a particular way, he took the opposite path instead.

After expending some time, Liu Xiafeng walked all the way back to the entrance of the maze. He let out a sigh of relief – at least he did not become completely lost within the maze. However, he was worried as well; he wasted much time for naught, and ended up back where he started.

There were pictures projected in the air for every single spatial plane of the maze, forming images for Lin Feng and the rest to follow the latest developments.

Looking at the different states of the disciples, Lin Feng and his disciples, as well as the observing Kang Nanhua and Miao Shihao, were slightly amused. Xiao Yan shook his head repeatedly and chuckled. "As expected, it's not that easy."

Beside him, Zhu Yi suddenly let out a slight laugh. "The two of them – they have definitely been competing since induction."

Following his gaze, everyone saw the two images that were showing the forms of Xu Yunsheng and Ying Luozha.

Those two, walking in the maze, coincidentally chose the exact same method to identify route and direction.

Chapter 364: There's Still Someone Lurking

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Although Ying Luozha was the first to enter the maze, he stopped immediately after entering. Standing at the entrance, he looked at the two diverging paths and did not proceed blindly. Rather, he closed his eyes while quietly sensing the Spiritual Energy flows within the maze.

He was rebellious and defiant by nature, but definitely not reckless. To the contrary, the experience of being a vagrant since childhood, drifting from place to place, has molded a survival instinct and ability that far exceeded his peers. When placed in an unknown environment, he was calmer, as well as more cautious.

He was like a gray wolf, which roams alone in the Alaskan wilderness. The wolf, by nature, was an animal that combined cold-bloodedness, savagery, cunning, and caution.

After a long while, Ying Luozha opened his eyes, his pupils flickering with a faint glow as he gazed at the maze in front of him. The air around him grew heavier as well as more wary.

If it was purely a matter of personality, if the maze appeared mundane and unremarkable, he would pick the same approach as Liu Xiafeng – sensing Spiritual Energy fluctuations and press on according to instinct.

However, at the back of his head, he has a subtle sensation – that the maze's Spiritual Energy fluctuations might deceive him intentionally.

After a moment in thought, Ying Luozha suddenly extracted a piece of silk from his robes and carefully pulled out one of the threads.

He affixed one end of the thread to the entrance before cautiously walking deeper into the maze, all the while letting loose thread from the silk.

When he ran out of silk threads, he took out another piece of cloth, removing a thread and connecting it to the silk thread before continuing to walk.

Although Ying Luozha couldn't see it, but outside the maze, Zhu Yi, Xiao Yan and the rest could see that in another spatial plane, Xu Yunsheng was using the exact same method as Ying Luozha.

This diligent and cool-headed teenager also used thread to position himself and identify directions in the maze.

Lin Feng watched this scene with considerable interest. "I remember it's a Greek myth I've seen in my previous life – the protagonist also used this way to walk out of a maze that none before him could escape?"

"At this sort of moment, am I supposed to say 'Wisdom is universal, always'?" Lin Feng's lips curved upwards. "Never mind, since you evoked my memories – this time I'll give you a break. Count that as a reward for you."

If Lin Feng wanted to, he could still tamper with Xu Yunsheng and Ying Luozha's threads – much like what he did to the marks left by Li Xingfei and the others.

Looking at the two teenagers in the moving images, a slight smile came across Lin Feng's lips. "But, if you think that you can walk out of the maze like this – that would be naïve."

Soon, Ying Luozha and Xu Yunsheng discovered the problem almost at the same time.

The two have explored almost the entire maze – but in the end, they received a rude shock. Every single path – every single one of them – led to a dead end.

Ying Luozha was enraged. "What sort of maze is this? Only an entrance, no exits? Playing me for a fool?"

In another spatial plane, Xu Yunsheng's face was gloomy as a thundercloud as well. This purple maze was actually a completely sealed palace – there were only one entrance, but no exits at all.

After spending all that effort, they were played for a fool. Anyone, put in their position, would be raving mad.

"Stay calm, stay calm." Xu Yunsheng gazed at the top of the palace. "It's impossible that the Grandmaster set this challenge to play games with us – it must be that I haven't found the correct way yet."

Following the thread, he returned to the entrance. Gazing at the maze – spread out before his eyes like a deep, dark abyss, he was deep in thought, silent.

Meanwhile, after his initial outburst, Ying Luozha cooled down quickly as well, and just like Xu Yunsheng, he returned to the entrance of the maze and started pondering the problem.

Blind frustration and rage were both undesirable – they would only cause you to fall into the maze's trap. Ying Luozha even suspected that the purpose of the maze was to provoke him into rashness and upset, such that his solid resolve would start to waver.

Gazing at Xu Yunsheng and Ying Luozha, who have calmed down and were deep in thought, Lin Feng nodded slowly. "Potential, both of them. Lots of potential."

Lin Feng and the others watched the events unfold from the outside. Because every person was in an independent spatial plane – alone – when faced with setbacks and difficulties, their vastly differing mental states were naked for all to see.

Some disciples possess decent Innate Ability and Intelligence, as well as being above average in terms of Qi Cultivation. However, their determination appeared to be weak – the emotional toll of being trapped in the maze, ranging from anxiety and despondency to fury, severely affected their judgment.

As time passed, the gaps between the disciples widened even further. Some were stuck completely in the maze – you could tell with one look that without help, they would probably never make it out.

Meanwhile, a minority was consistently able to identify directions within the maze, but as they continued to be unable to find the right path, they were forced to return to the entrance first as they re-assessed the situation.

It was then that one of Lin Feng's Voice-Projecting Crystals suddenly started vibrating. After shattering the crystal, a long-awaited voice emitted from the other side.

"Lord Lin, you've been well?" The person projecting the voice, somewhat surprisingly, was Yan Mingyue – the one who already returned to Mount Baiyun previously.

"Ah, it's you, my friend. It's been a while since I heard your voice." Lin Feng answered.

"I must first congratulate you – to be precisely, for your disciples' consecutive victories at the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai." Yan Mingyue laughed quietly.

"You're too polite, my friend." After a slight pause, Lin Feng asked, "About everything that happened at the Conference…you've heard about it?"

"Mingyue does already know about the matter." Yan Mingyue said, "Regarding the re-surfacing of the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation – I was shocked as well. Still, fortunately, with the intervention of Lord Lin, Prince Anliang and the others, the situation was still salvageable."

"But the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation falling into the hands of the Demonic Clan once again – it is a disaster for the entire Divine Lands. Both Mingyue and Mingyue's Sect are paying close attention to this matter. This time, Mingyue returned due to my Sect's trust, to be responsible for investigating this matter."

Lin Feng's eyes flickered. "Oh? You're charged with the investigation, then what about your new All-Under-Heavens Strider?"

Yan Mingyue halted slightly, and then answered calmly, "The Sect has other arrangments for Senior Lin. As for the specifics, I do not know much about that."

Since it has already been revealed, Yan Mingyue did not evade any further but told Lin Feng directly. "Lin Daohan, my Big Senior, is the new All-Under-Heavens Strider appointed by the Sect after Junior Pang Jie stepped down."

Yan Mingyue's voice was infused with some uncertainty. "I remember three years ago, Mingyue's body was destroyed because of the mutually destructive battle with Longye. Only a strand of my soul took refuge in a ring – afterwards, I finally awakened, and it was then that I met Lord Lin for the first time."

"Among those present then, apart from Xiao Yan – who is now Lord Lin's First Disciple – there was only your Little Disciple, Shi Tianhao."

Lin Feng was rather perplexed at why Yan Mingyue would suddenly bring up the past. He did not interject, but listened quietly – Yan Mingyue probably has more to say.

As expected, Yan Mingyue continued. "At that time, I said that Shi Tianhao, Lord Lin's Little Disciple, has extraordinary talent. The extent of his capacity and Inner Ability…I have only seen that on one of my Seniors before, none else."

Lin Feng's pupils contracted slightly. "The one you mean…that would be Lin Daohan?"

"Exactly." Yan Mingyue said gently. After the words fell, she was silent.

Although she only mentioned that Lin Daohan has incredibly high Innate Ability and talent and did not comment on his other areas, but Lin Feng believed that, to deserve being regarded so seriously by Yan Mingyue – this person was definitely not a simple character.

After all, Yan Mingyue now – she has already accomplished Immortal Soul stage!

That time he met Yan Mingyue again at the Sect-Opening Ceremony outside Shazhou City, Lin Feng already realized this. That was why he congratulated Yan Mingyue then – that she not only was reborn, but managed to rise even further.

Lin Feng nodded slightly as he asked, calm, "Then, pray tell, within the Great Void Sect, this Big Senior of yours – is he a radical or a conservative?"

Yan Mingyue was not surprised that Lin Feng knew about the factions within the Great Void Sect, and there was no displeasure within her voice either. "Big Senior is the Conservative faction's most outstanding successor in millennia."

"Barring surprises, it is almost certain that Big Senior will eventually take over the reins of the Great Void Sect."

Abruptly, some semblance of a smile appeared on Lin Feng's otherwise composed face. "This sort of character – he did not cultivate quietly in Mount Baiyun, but came down suddenly. It could not have been without cause – I wonder who is his target?"

"Demonic Clan, Mount Shu, the Great Zhou…" Yan Mingyue chuckled quietly. "Maybe now, you, Lord Lin, are part of the list as well."

"What a great honor for me then." Lin Feng smiled.

Yan Mingyue's lips curved upwards, wordless. She seemed to suddenly recall something and said, smiling, "Oh, right, Lord Lin, I came to know only recently that the Great Zhou Empire has planted a mole in your Sect."

Lin Feng's gaze flickered as he thought. "She is allied with the Great Zhou Empire now – why would she sell them out?"

As he thought, Lin Feng nodded. Without attempting to cover it up, he smiled. "So, he was sent by the Great Zhou Empire."

"So, Lord Lin already knows?" Yan Mingyue's tone was light-hearted. "This is Emperor Liang Pan's scheme – he is used to planning ahead."

She said quietly, "But to my knowledge, apart from the Great Zhou Empire, my Sect – the Great Void Sect – has also taken the opportunity of your Sect-Opening Ceremony to plant a hidden piece in Lord Lin's Celestial Sect of Wonders."

Lin Feng's pupils contracted suddenly. "As I said, I should really feel honored," He said quietly.

"As long as Lord Lin is sure." After some more pleasantries, Yan Mingyue ended the transmission. After a moment in thought, Lin Feng raised his head and gazed at the moving images showing those within the maze of purple clouds now.

After a long while, a semblance of a smile came across Lin Feng's lips.

At this moment, apart from Xu Yunsheng and Ying Luozha, Li Xingfei has also returned to the entrance of the maze. Almost at the same time, Liu Xiafeng was back to the starting point as well, shaking his head as he gazed at the huge maze before him with vexation.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Yan tilted his head at Zhu Yi. "Your prediction is rather accurate."

"After all, it was me who enlightened them. Not to say I know them down to the last hair, but I have a rough grasp of things," Zhu Yi answered.

He let out a quiet sigh. "But to walk out of the maze Master set up – they still have much to go."

Xiao Budian chuckled. "Actually, before they entered the maze, Master's hint was already quite explicit."

Chapter 365: The Right Way To Get Out of the Maze

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"Jumping out of the box and be flexible. Don't be rigid or obstinate – many a time, as long as you take a different perspective to the problem, getting out of the maze is actually simple and straightforward." Xiao Budian said cheerfully.

Beside him, Wang Lin said quietly, "In addition, you must keep your convictions strong and unshaken. Find your true self, nullify all illusions."

He gazed at the maze of purple clouds. "Although I did not enter, but I can still sense that the purple clouds in the maze will cause much hallucinations and interference. Only by sweeping away all confusion and disturbances and fortifying your heart, can you find the right way to pass through the maze."

Listening to the conversations among his Immediate Disciples, Lin Feng's look landed on the images in the air and, by extension, the second-generation disciples in the maze. "Still a large difference in talent." He sighed silently.

If it was Xiao Yan or the others, even at Qi Cultivation stage, after entering the maze, they would probably have found the right path quickly with Lin Feng's hint. Unlike those second-generation disciples now – even the most outstanding few have to run into a wall first in the maze before returning to the entrance and starting anew.

Still, Lin Feng was mentally prepared for this. A sect needed both rare geniuses like Xiao Yan and those more down-to-earth, that will form the bedrock of the sect. It was with them complementing each other that long-term development and progress for the sect could be ensured.

In the maze, Xu Yunsheng's eyes suddenly lit up. He turned to face the entrance behind him. "Think out of the box and strive to be flexible, while remaining true to your heart and see through all illusions…"

"What if the entrance is the exit?" He walked towards the entrance, but was stopped by an invisible barrier.

Xu Yunsheng was not disheartened, only frowning slightly. "No? True, if it is really so, then this would be a child's game. Merely simple tricks."

He turned again and examined the maze carefully. Entering from the entrance, there was a purple wall ahead, with a path on each side of it. However, Xu Yunsheng has already experimented – both paths were impassable and would eventually lead to dead ends.

Xu Yunsheng believed that the exit to the maze did exist. It was just – where exactly was this exit?

After a moment's thought, Xu Yunsheng's eyes began to glow. Once again, he stepped into the maze of purple clouds.

The paths at the entrance were still one leading to the left, and one to the right. However, this time, Xu Yunsheng did not choose either of them. He simply walked straight ahead, on a collision course with the purple wall ahead!

Xu Yunsheng did not try to muster any power to destroy the purple wall, only walked determinedly towards the wall, step by step.

A strange sight appeared. Much like a water curtain, ripples began to appear across the purple wall. Xu Yunsheng's body passed through the wall directly, reaching the other side.

Seeing this scene, outside the maze, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the others started laughing.

"Finally, someone realized it. I was going to die from agitation." Xiao Budian laughed raucously. "It was so obviously simple – why didn't anyone think of it before?"

Xiao Yan and co. shook their heads, speechless. The solution to this maze was never to run through the corridors in a valiant, but doomed attempt to find the right path – because the maze was completely sealed. There was only the entrance, but no exit. At least not in the traditional sense.

The correct solution would be to, starting from the entrance, walk through the walls in a straight line. All the way, until you pass through the entire maze of purple clouds.

Chuckling, Xiao Budian continued, "Actually, solving the maze is easy – you just have to break the boundaries of orthodox thought. But come to speak of it, this maze of Master's is so shameless as to even amend their marks. You play by the rules even when outmaneuver a maze that doesn't – isn't that going out of the way to let it dupe you?"

In the maze, after finally discovering the correct way, Xu Yunsheng explicitly experimented at other spots as well to verify his hypothesis. In the end, he discovered that only the wall that faced the entrance directly could be traversed; from any other spot, you would simply smash into the wall.

Xu Yunsheng progressed, passing through walls all the way. Halfway through, after passing through the previous wall, he encountered a perfectly straight passageway.

He then proceeded according to the passageway. When meeting a junction where he would need to swerve, he did not choose to – but rather, continued to walk straight at the wall. As expected, he passed straight through it again.

This way, in just a few moments, Xu Yunsheng walked out of the maze of purple clouds. When he passed through the last wall, he found himself outside the maze instantly.

A jubilant smile flashed across Xu Yunsheng's face, but abruptly, he felt something in the back of his head. It was then that he saw that there was another person that walked out of the maze of purple clouds at almost the same time as he. Dark-skinned and slender, he cuts a striking figure – precisely Ying Luozha.

The two exchanged a look. Ying Luozha shook his head, "I still wasn't able to defeat you." Xu Yunsheng smiled, "There will be opportunities."

Not long after Xu Yunsheng and Ying Luozha, Li Xingfei and Liu Xiafeng were also finally able to recognize the hidden secret of the maze and walked out one after the other.

Lin Feng turned to Xiao Yan and the rest and said, "You all, make some preparations too. After my trial ends, it would be your turn to take disciples. To put it bluntly, there are not many of those with promise – and they have the right to choose as well. It would be up to yourselves to see who you can get your hands on."

Zhu Yi and the others exchanged a smile and, in streaks of light, flew through the Rainbow Clouds Bridge, towards their respective Abodes.

Inferno Precipice, Heavenly Temple, Forest Abode, Blizzard Valley, Nirvana World, and Wasteland Valley – the Six Abodes lit up simultaneously in a dazzling blaze.

Xiao Yan returned to the Inferno Precipice through the teleportation capability of the Rainbow Clouds Bridge. "Master, I'll have to trouble you to lend a hand."

Lin Feng smiled, and with a mere thought, the three Primordial Fires on the surface of the Inferno Precipice danced with simultaneous grace and violence. The Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire and the Nanming Primordial Fire were suppressed, with only the Grand Sun Primordial Flame – blazing with golden splendor like the sun – remaining.

"You can't control the Nanming Primordial Fire yet, while the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire is overly violent. The Grand Sun Primordial Flame is enough." Lin Feng transmitted his voice to Xiao Yan using Mana. Xiao Yan nodded, and began waiting patiently on the Inferno Precipice.

The deadline arrived quickly and Lin Feng scanned the scene, seeing that only eleven has been able to successfully exit the maze. Nine second-generation disciples, with the other two being Xiao Huanzi and another one of the kids.

In terms of Qi cultivation, the kids were more advanced on average, but in terms of Innate Ability, Intelligence, and especially Determination, far less of them were able to pass the trial.

"Time." Lin Feng waved his hand calmly, and the maze of purple clouds disappeared in an instant. It formed a purple cloud, lifting up those still trapped in the maze.

Disheartened looks appeared on these teenagers' faces as they gazed at Xu Yunsheng and the rest, their looks filled with envy and longing.

Lin Feng stood in the air, his form seemingly one with the universe. His voice wasn't especially loud, but it reverberated within the entire space.

"Those who passed the test, you can make your choices out of your own free will. You will proceed to the Six Abodes to find a Master on your own – this will be your second trial. Every Abode has different protective spells and restraints, and it is only by passing the test can you truly step over the threshold. Those that failed to pass would have to wait for the next opportunity."

The moods of Xu Yunsheng, Ying Luozha and the others turned grave simultaneously. Their nerves, only just loosened after passing the maze of purple clouds, tensed up once more as they bowed towards Lin Feng together deferentially. "As my Lord wishes."

The remaining disciples and kids that did not pass looked to the Six Abodes in the distance curiously as well. Although they did not obtain the right to seek a Master, they still wanted to see if Xu Yunsheng and the others could pass the second trial.

At the same time, they also wanted to see what kind of difficulties Xiao Yan and co. would set up – both to sate their curiosity and to make preparations for the next time they confront the test.

As they knew about taking a Master in advance, Xu Yunsheng and the rest did actually think beforehand about whom to choose as their respective Master. So now, they did not hesitate and after bowing to Lin Feng together, they proceeded directly to their respective target Abode.

Ying Luozha stole a glance at Lin Feng, silently gritting his teeth. "If I was able to discover the correct solution to the maze instantly, not only would I defeat Xu Yunsheng, maybe I could have had the Grandmaster as my Master."

Lin Feng silently observed the eleven making their choices as a smile of interest flashed across his face. "Interesting."

In terms of numbers, Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi were the most popular Masters. The two of them added together accounted for more than half of the disciples.

This was the result of numerous factors combined. None of the second-generation disciples attended the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai; after their return, no one told them about the events of the Conference either. Hence, they did not know much about the performances of Lin Feng's Immediate Disciples at the Conference.

With regards to Lin Feng's six Immediate Disciples, those younglings did not actually understand much, and so they could only make their choices using their previous impressions.

Of which, Xiao Yan has the title of Lin Feng's First Disciple of the Leader, while Zhu Yi has always been their Chief Instructor and taught them mantras ever since they were inducted. As such, it was somewhat expected that these two would be the most popular.

To those younglings, their direct impressions of the powers of Lin Feng's six Immediate Disciples came from that battle outside Shazhou City before the Sect-Opening Ceremony. Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, and Xiao Budian – at Aurous Core stage - held off a Nascent Soul Elder, to the great shock of every single person present.

Wang Lin, only Beginner Foundation Establishment then, was, unavoidably, much less prominent.

As for Xiao Budian, his appearance was still that of a cute young boy. Although they all knew about his strengths and powers, but for second-generation disciples older than him to become his disciple, there would be more or less some mental misgivings, to the point that there was not a single soul at his Wasteland Valley.

This made Xiao Budian, excited and high-spirited previously, rather displeased. Depressed and sitting at the entrance of the Wasteland Valley, he gazed at the disciples walking towards the other Abodes plaintively.

Yang Qing's Nirvana World was similarly deserted. Formerly, Yang Qing and those second-generation disciples participated in the Sect-Opening Ceremony and were inducted together; in the end, he rose meteorically to become Lin Feng's Immediate Disciple. Even though they knew that Yang Qing was already at Foundation Establishment stage then, those young men were still too proud to go to him and become his disciple.

With his Awareness, Lin Feng found Yang Qing emotionally stable, and even somewhat relieved.

He also felt that it would be rather awkward to take on those disciples that were inducted at the same time as he. This way, on the contrary, it allowed him to relax.

"Unambitious brat!" Lin Feng's lips curved upwards. "To teach you…I have much to go!"

Meanwhile, although Yue Hongyan has the same concomitant awkwardness as Yang Qing, but because she was the only female among the six, there were still disciples attracted to her.

Apart from Xiao Huanzi, who has always been close to her, there was one more female second-generation disciple that chose Blizzard Valley.

Lin Feng gazed at that gentle, frail-looking girl with some amusement and shook his head continuously. "You were wrong this time. That fierce, aggressive style of Hongyan's…most females wouldn't be able to learn that."

At this instant, the four most outstanding ones among the second-generation disciples, Xu Yunsheng, Ying Luozha, Li Xingfei, and Liu Xiafeng, made their respective choices as well.

Chapter 366: The Second-Generation Disciples Choose Their Masters

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Being the one of the four most outstanding four second-generation disciples, Liu Xiafeng chose Xiao Yan's Inferno Precipice.

His close friend Fatty completed the Purple Clouds Maze at the last minute and similarly met the criteria to proceed to the second round of the assessment. He mulled over the options behind Liu Xiafeng and asked, "Brother Feng, which one do you think I should pick?"

Liu Xiafeng stopped in his tracks and glanced at him oddly. "This is a decision that you need to make yourself."

Fatty laughed in embarrassment, but still gazed at Liu Xiafeng with eyes that were seemingly begging him for help.

Liu Xiafeng replied lazily, "Elder Zhu is our Chief Instructor, and inculcates the foundational skills to new disciples like us under the Grandmaster's orders. I reckon that Elder Zhu would still serve as the Chief Instructor for future recruits if nothing unexpected happens."

"There will be even more new disciples in the future, and Elder Zhu may only conduct occasional spell lessons to clarify the freshmen's doubts like the Grandmaster. If this happens, the responsibility of educating the disciples on a day-to-day basis would perhaps be handed over to Elder Zhu's official disciples."

Fatty asked hesitatingly, "Brother Feng, you mean to say ..."

Liu Xiafeng pressed against the centre of his palm and commented nonchalantly, "Yes. Ignoring all other considerations, Elder Zhu's extensive social network would come in handy next time if we have him as our Master. Most of the newly inducted disciples would forge sentimental bonds with him. And even those who subsequently choose to train under other elders would still bear gratitude for Elder Zhu for being their very first teacher."

"Brother Feng, since you're so informed about this, why didn't you become a disciple of Elder Zhu's Heavenly Temple?" Fatty asked out of curiosity.

Liu Xiafeng chuckled casually, "I feel more comfortable and carefree under Elder Xiao's wing, so I chose Elder Xiao. There's nothing more to it. I don't have any wild ambitions, so being comfortable and carefree would be best for me."

Fatty then came to a decision. "I'll go with Brother Feng."

Liu Xiafeng chuckled. "I already told you, this is something that you must decide for yourself."

"I've already considered this very carefully." Fatty answered in a very serious tone, "Training under Elder Zhu may be beneficial for me, but Elder Zhu's expectations are too strict. I ... I'm not suited for it."

Liu Xiafeng shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Since you've thought about it thoroughly, let's go then. I'm quite glad we can still train together as brothers."

Both looked at each other and laughed, then walked towards Xiao Yan's Inferno Precipice together.

Just as Liu Xiafeng said, a large proportion of disciples chose Zhu Yi as their Master, among them being Xu Yunsheng.

"Elder Zhu has always bore the responsibility of overseeing the new disciples' foundational education. As time goes by, his faction would certainly become the strongest one in the Celestial Sect of Wonders. I wonder if the Grandmaster and the other elders would sit by and allow this to happen."

Xu Yunsheng wondered to himself, "But even without this advantage, I should still go to the Heavenly Temple. Elder Zhu Yi created the Yi Zi's Eight Trigrams Variorum, the mantra learnt during the Qi Training stage. He is the most well-versed in this mantra, so mastering it under his guidance would give me the greatest advantage, and would allow me to be a step ahead of my peers."

"The Foundation Establishment stage mantras I'll encounter in the future would probably be in the same vein as Yi Zi's Eight Trigrams Variorum. I can achieve double the results with just half the effort that I would need if I was training under another elder's wing, which would once again give me an edge over my peers."

"By accumulating all these advantages bit by bit, I'll eventually create a considerable gap." Xu Yunsheng took a deep breath. "Once I commit to something, I must strive to be the best in it. Choosing Elder Zhu would be the most appropriate option for me."

Xu Yunsheng finally decided on joining the Heavenly Temple as a disciple after much contemplation, while Ying Luozha's concerns were much more straightforward. He would go wherever Xu Yunsheng went, simple as that. This way, he could compete against Xu Yunsheng more frequently to gauge his own strength.

If he had gone to another faction, would it even matter if he emerged as the strongest of that group? He has never won Xu Yunsheng before, so others would assume that he was fearful of Xu Yunsheng and therefore avoided him on purpose.

Lin Feng gazed at Xu Yunsheng and Ying Luozha as they strode towards the Heavenly Temple, both looking straight ahead without acknowledging each other's presence at all, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this sight. "This is so overdramatic. I have no qualms about the both of you being eternal rivals, but please don't maintain such a love-hate relationship. I'm getting old, and I can't stand all this drama."

Lin Feng then shifted his gaze towards another direction. "But what are you going there for? Out of pity?"

Over there, an elegant and beautiful young lady dressed in purple was making her way to Wang Lin's Forest Abode. She was also the only disciple that chose Wang Lin as her master.

Her decision came as a shock to many. Second-generation disciples like her wouldn't know the exact mastery levels of Lin Feng's six immediate disciples. Their current impression of Wang Lin was still based on his performance during the battle on the outskirts of Shazhou City, when his mastery level was evidently lower than Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and Xiao Budian, and the abilities he showcased were less outstanding than the other three.

Wang Lin was usually busy training, secluding himself and rarely showing his face. He was also the most mysterious of the six immediate disciples, so much so that none of the second-generation disciples have witnessed his capabilities ever since the Sect-Opening Ceremony.

Li Xingfei ignored all the puzzled stares of the onlookers. She had formed her own analysis. "Aside from mantras, resources are also of utmost importance. Elder Xiao is in-charge of the Elixir Chamber, but many disciples have already rushed to his side. Elder Yang controls the Herb Valley, but he joined the sect more recently, and his mastery level is not as advanced as Elder Wang's."

"Elder Wang oversees the Tripitaka Block, hence I stand to gain special advantages that others wouldn't be able to enjoy for mantras and spells."

Lin Feng took a sweeping glance of Xu Yunsheng, Ying Luozha, Li Xingfei and Liu Xiafeng. He cracked a smile and commented, "How interesting."

At this moment, the choices of the eleven disciples who have overcome the trial of the Purple Clouds Maze have become clear.

Zhu Yi's faction was the most popular one just as expected, claiming five disciples for himself, taking almost half the total number of people. Among them included Xu Yunsheng and Ying Luozha, the two most accomplished individuals of all the second-generation disciples.

Among the remaining six people, three chose to go with Xiao Yan, including Liu Xiafeng who could arguably be ranked fourth among his peers. Two disciples chose Yue Hongyan, while only Li Xingfei chose Wang Lin.

Xiao Budian and Yang Qing were left emptyhanded, but both of their reactions were starkly different. Xiao Budian looked dejected, while Yang Qing heaved a sigh of relief.

Upon witnessing this, Kang Nanhua frowned and turned to Lin Feng. "Sect Master, by letting the second-generation disciples choose freely like this, Tianhao and Yang Qing ended up with no one. Wouldn't this hurt their pride?"

Even Miao Shihao who rarely showed much concern also appeared worried. "That's right. Furthermore, this would damage their repute in the eyes of the junior disciples."

Lin Feng smiled. "There's no harm in giving the second-generation disciples the freedom of choice. Not only is this a privilege bestowed upon them, but isn't this also an indirect test of their judgement?"

"Xiao Budian and Yang Qing already knew about this. Xiao Budian is acting all upset just for the sake of throwing a tantrum. I've already informed them of the purpose of designing this indirect test beforehand."

Kang Nanhua was slightly stunned. Miao Shihao and him looked at each other before gazing at the eleven young men and women who have already arrived at their respective factions and were preparing to take on their subsequent trials. A realization then dawned upon the two Sect Guardian Elders.

Xiao Yan and the others designed their trials with absolutely no intention of going easy on their prospective disciples. They too wished to select the most exceptional talent to become their official disciples.

Having been nurtured by Lin Feng with utmost care, his six immediate disciples would unknowingly attempt to emulate Lin Feng in some way or another.

Having established a reputable name for himself in the Grand Celestial World, there were two things that Lin Feng was most frequently adulated for. Firstly, his own mastery level was so profoundly high that no one could grasp it, his mantras were extremely intricate, and he ruled over such a blessed and well-endowed Alternate World like Mount Yujing, hence becoming the subject of envy for many.

Secondly, his six immediate disciples spell disaster for any opponent that dares to challenge them. Any one of them would invite immense uncontrollable jealousy from others.

Ever since Wang Lin also proved his worth at the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, outsiders have felt that Lin Feng's eye for selecting disciples was so frighteningly sharp that it made their hairs stand.

He has never misjudged anyone, and each one of his immediate disciples was a proud child of God that astounded all of the Divine Lands.

And this unique attribute of his has subtly and inevitably been passed down to his immediate disciples, hence cultivating such a desire in their subconscious minds: "I want to become like Master. I want all my disciples to become exceptionally outstanding, and any one of them would have the ability to shock the world."

As a result, even though Xu Yunsheng, Ying Luozha, Li Xingfei and Liu Xiafeng have already demonstrated their capabilities as worthy young talent, they still felt that the trials set by Xiao Yan and the others were incomparably difficult and arduous.

Wang Lin was especially harsh, completely ignoring the fact that Li Xingfei was the only one who chose to join him as his disciple. He seemed to have forgotten that he would also end up with an empty harvest like Xiao Budian and Yang Qing if he eliminated Li Xingfei.

When everything concluded, almost half of the participating disciples were shockingly eliminated. Only Xu Yunsheng, Ying Luozha, Li Xingfei, Liu Xiafeng, Xiao Huanzi and Fatty passed the final test, and obtained the right to enter their elders' factions.

Xiao Budian sat at the entrance of the Wasteland Valley, with his hand holding up his lower jaw as he shook his head in disappointment. "Why did you all charge forward futilely even when you're obviously not suited for the challenge? What else can I say about all of you?"

After everyone finished the trial, they gathered under the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree again, where Lin Feng announced the official conclusion of this assessment.

When he saw the majority of disciples looking disheartened and frustrated, Zhu Yi approached them personally to speak with them, both to educate them about their areas of improvement and to encourage them to strive harder.

Xu Yunsheng and the other select few who successfully overcame the trial were also comforting the rest repeatedly before bringing everyone back to the Disciples' Abode. They then packed their personal belongings and prepared to move in to the residences of their respective masters.

Lin Feng held Wang Lin back and said with a smile, "Wang Lin, everyone is exhausted. It's your turn to head to the Tripitaka Block."

Wang Lin nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Master. I've actually been condensing and editing my mantra over the past few days, and I've already formed a draft of it in my mind. I'm sure I can produce the complete mantra very soon."

As he watched Wang Lin enter the Tripitaka Block, Lin Feng suddenly slapped his own head. "I almost forgot something."

By convention, Lin Feng would present a Nascent Soul stage magic item to every immediate disciple once they have formed their Aurous Core, and he has yet to give Wang Lin his deserved Nascent Soul item despite him already forming his Aurous Core.

Lin Feng was already holding on to a Nascent Soul stage item that was ready to be presented - the Golden Crown of Angels and Demons. However, Lin Feng has never been flippant about bestowing magic items upon his disciples. He would attempt to tailor it to the disciple's individual circumstances as much as possible. Even though the Golden Crown of Angels and Demons was indeed impressive, it was not exactly compatible with Wang Lin.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment then flipped his hand around. A ball of white light suddenly appeared on his palm.

Chapter 367: Two Sides to Every Coin

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

A ball of white light appeared on Lin Feng's palm. At the heart of it was an enormous white elephant, which was normally majestic and overpowering but now at its dying gasp.

A young boy, just a few years of age, lay on top of the elephant. It was the Nascent Soul of the Cloud Elephant Grandmaster that Lin Feng previously captured during the Sect-Opening Ceremony at the outskirts of Shazhou City.

The Cloud Elephant Grandmaster was the Sect Master of the Cloud Elephant Sect of the Northern Foothills of Mount Kunlun. He was supposed to attend the Celestial Sect of Wonders' Sect-Opening Ceremony, but was influenced by Pang Jie and Kong Chang to join in on the attack against the Celestial Sect of Wonders, and was ultimately defeated and captured by Lin Feng.

His physical body was instantly blown to smithereens by the Avatar of Ares, and Lin Feng seized his Nascent Soul when he attempted to flee. Ever since then, Lin Feng has not paid him much attention, but was always suppressing his Nascent Soul, which prevented his injuries from healing and kept him in this weak and vulnerable state.

He would have been relieved of his pain if Lin Feng had dealt with him sooner, but he was forced to live the life of a death-row prisoner all this while. It was as though there was a guillotine hanging above his head, with him not knowing when it would finally come slicing down, which was the most excruciating thing for him.

Having lived so long in a constant state of anxiety, not knowing when he would die, the Cloud Elephant Grandmaster's tenacity has weakened severely even though he had already formed his Nascent Soul. The gripping sense of fear that he has not felt since he formed his Aurous Core has now returned to haunt him.

When he saw Lin Feng, the Cloud Elephant Grandmaster was immediately scared stiff. "Please spare me this time, Senior. I'm willing to lead my legions in the Cloud Elephant Sect to pledge loyalty to the Celestial Sect of Wonders ..."

He still wanted to plead more, but Lin Feng already placed his finger on the Cloud Elephant Grandmaster's eyebrows. "You reap what you sow."

"No!" The Cloud Elephant Grandmaster let out an agonising wail, but had no energy left to struggle.

As the long years flowed by, his eyes became increasingly faded and pallid, until he eventually lost all traces of sentience. He just possessed the most primitive, primal form of ignorance. He was truly unintelligible and illiterate, like an infant just born into the world.

The Cloud Elephant Grandmaster's Nascent Soul fused with the giant white elephant beneath him. The entire mass then shrank in size rapidly before finally solidifying as a physical entity, morphing into a jade sculpture in the shape of a little white jade elephant and landing on Lin Feng's palm.

Lin Feng lifted his finger and probed the ridge on the little white jade elephant's back, and the jade sculpture's eyes instantly lit up.

The jade elephant seemingly came to life, and curled up on Lin Feng's palm. Lin Feng flipped it around and carved an archaic pattern on the underside of the jade sculpture. The outlined strokes of the pattern were blood-red, which glowed and dissolved into the jade sculpture.

The pigments of life in the jade elephant's eyes then receded back into its body. Lin Feng grinned, "This treasure would be called the Cloud Elephant Seal, just perfect for Wang Lin to use."

Lin Feng just finished creating the Cloud Elephant Seal, and sensed that Wang Lin has also successfully completed his mantra inside the Tripitaka Block.

He entered the Tripitaka Block and asked with a smile, "Wang Lin, is everything proceeding smoothly?"

Lin Feng looked up and saw Wang Lin frowning and sitting cross-legged in front of a bookshelf. He was staring at the spell scripture laying before him, deep in thought.

Upon seeing Lin Feng enter the compound, Wang Lin immediately rose to greet him. "Master."

Lin Feng noticed his odd demeanour and felt slightly puzzled, and enquired, "What's wrong? Did you encounter a problem?"

Wang Lin picked up the spell scripture on the shelf and presented it to Lin Feng, looking quite troubled. "I've finished deriving the mantra. Please look through it, Master."

"Although the mantra has been completed, I still feel that it's not perfect enough. It's still an inch away from the ideal state that I conjured in my mind."

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. "Oh?" He received the spell scripture from Wang Lin and browsed through the entire mantra with one sweep of his supernatural awareness.

The mantra Wang Lin created was named the"Heavenly Extreme Path Sutra", which incorporated Wang Lin's understanding of the laws of Heaven and Earth since the beginning of his cultivation journey. It used the Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams as its foundation, while infusing destructive powers to create an environment with two forces on different extremes.

But Lin Feng quickly realized that, just as Wang Lin said, this mantra was still one step away from attaining true perfection.

This was not a problem of whether the mantra scriptures were completed or not. If there existed any gaps in content, the special functions of the Tripitaka Block's first storey would have automatically remedied them.

Wang Lin's Heavenly Extreme Path Sutra was already complete in terms of content. What it lacked, however, was the ideal level of depth.

The mantras that Lin Feng's five other immediate disciples created were actually lacking in depth as well, but to Lin Feng, they could only graze the surface of the mantra due to the limits of their current mastery levels. As they continue further down the path of cultivation, they would surely continue to strengthen and deepen it. However, their mantras have already taken their personal insights on the principles of Heaven and Earth to the extreme, having unearthed and internalized every bit of knowledge as much as possible.

Wang Lin was different. His mantra was named the 'Extreme Path', yet he has yet to unleash the maximum level of his current potential, resulting in his mantra just missing the mark by an inch.

He was certainly striving for perfection, but he didn't know what to do. The truth is cruel. This caused Wang Lin to be as distressed and vexed as he was.

Lin Feng looked at the Heavenly Extreme Path Sutra on his hand and a thought flashed through his mind. "Wang Lin, enter the state of the Destructive Stage of the River Styx now," Lin Feng instructed.

Wang Lin did as he was told. The Aurous Core within his body vibrated, and excessive amounts of black Destructive Qi flushed out from his body, resembling the Lord of the River Styx Palace.

"Master, I was also in the state of the Destructive Stage of the River Styx when I derived the mantra previously."

Lin Feng nodded and said patiently, "I know." He gazed at Wang Lin and sighed to himself, "So that was indeed the case."

"I didn't notice this when you demonstrated the Destructive Stage of the River Styx previously during the time you just formed your Aurous Core." A sudden realization dawned upon Lin Feng. "But now, after observing it more closely to confirm my suspicions, I can instantly identify the hints pointing to the problem."

Many years of arduous training finally propelled Wang Lin from the beginner Foundation Establishment stage all the way up to the beginner Aurous Core stage with all his accumulated strength. The sheer escalation in his power was certainly earth-shattering, and the dark haze that shrouded his heart for many years dissipated completely. His entire disposition became a lot more carefree and he even started to smiled more, compared to the stone-cold face that he wore for a very long time.

Satisfied and exalted. These words perfectly encapsulated Wang Lin's current state of mind.

However, there are always two sides to every coin. Having undergone a revolutionary leap in strength, he mood improved and he no longer felt aggrieved or suppressed. There was only one direct drawback - his mastery level of the Destructive Stage of the River Styx went down!

It did not mean that Wang Lin's strength decreased. As a comparison, he could still defeat over twenty of his old selves without taking a scratch.

Instead, it meant that Wang Lin could not revert to the suppressed and depressed state of mind that he was in previously.

Wang Lin's Destructive Stage of the River Styx is an extreme technique that transforms one's mana completely into monstrous powers of destruction. The more extreme the transformation, the greater the strength.

Wang Lin comprehended the principles behind the forces of destruction and creation, which diametrically opposed each other on two extreme ends of the spectrum.

Mastering this type of Abhijina previously had a direct link with the immense pressure that Wang Lin was facing then.

As his seniors and juniors got stronger and stronger, the gap between them and himself grew larger and larger, and he even had to endure the mocking, judgemental stares of outsiders.

But thanks to his unbending mental fortitude, Wang Lin's heart did not falter and instead converted all the negativity into the motivation to excel, which indirectly aided him in actualizing the Abhijina and mana of the Destructive Stage of the River Styx.

"Your Destructive Stage of the River Styx is the hybridized product from the combination of your soul's will and mana." Lin Feng thought to himself, "The further the cultivator's emotions go towards a certain extreme, the more complete the transformation of his mana would be into destructive powers."

On a whole, Wang Lin's current emotional state was a form of relaxation and an improvement for his cultivation. Managing and residing in the Forest Abode also allowed him to embrace nature, which influenced the style of his mantra and allowed Zhu Yi and the others to benefit greatly from his insights.

However, such a state of mind was undoubtedly counter-productive and damaging for one's mastery of the Destructive Stage of the River Styx.

In the process of deriving the Heavenly Extreme Path Sutra, Wang Lin could not avoid incorporating the principles and qualities of the Destructive Stage of the River Styx that he had previously mastered. Unfortunately, since his emotional state had changed considerably, it was no longer favourable for siding either extreme.

After hearing Lin Feng's explanation, Wang Lin finally understood what was going on and laughed at himself. "Am I like a bucket of water that is just half-full?"

"You're not entirely to blame." Lin Feng shook his head and chuckled, "Your ideas are good, and the direction you're heading in is correct. You're just not emotionally prepared now, that's all."

Wang Lin nodded. "I shall continue to delve deeper into the mantra."

"There's no rush for that." Lin Feng pondered for a moment then asked abruptly, "Speaking of which, do you have any plans to visit your relatives back home?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Lin was momentarily taken aback and left speechless.

According to real time in the Greater World, he has only left home for about two years, but because Wang Lin was training in the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World all this while, countless years have already flown by for his own clock.

In the past, he was focused solely on cultivation, and invested all his energy in training himself, unaware of the cycle of day and night continuing outside the mountain. Now that Lin Feng brought the topic up, he was suddenly overwhelmed by his thoughts and feelings for his family, which instantly flooded his heart.

Since he has already formed his Aurous Core, if he does return home, he would be doing so gloriously after accomplishing a grand feat, and become the pride of his parents.

Wang Lin regained his composure and calmed himself down, then replied slowly, "I'm not in a hurry to do so. I shall perfect my mantra and teach it to my disciple first. It's still not too late to return home after Li Xingfei's training has proceeded well on the right track."

"You shall decide for yourself." Lin Feng continued, "As the saying goes, the threads in a loving mother's hand patches up the holes of her wandering son's clothes. Most parents still miss their children dearly, however short a time their children may be away for."

Wang Lin nodded in succession. He gazed at Lin Feng and felt a certain warmth surge through his heart.

After bidding Wang Lin farewell, Lin Feng proceeded up to the third storey of the Tripitaka Block alone and gazed at the space outside the window, entranced. Then, a Voice-Projecting Crystal shattered, delivering a message to Lin Feng. He received it and heard Song Fu's voice, the manager of the Pavilion of Heavenly Trade opposite him.

After hearing Song Fu's message, Lin Feng twitched his eyebrows. "Liang Gan, the fourth prince of the Great Zhou Empire, would like to pay my Celestial Sect of Wonders a visit?"

"Hold on for a moment, Sect Master Lin." Song Fu's voice faded out and in came a youthful voice. It carried the innate grace of one of dignity and nobility, but it still greeted Lin Feng humbly and sincerely.

Liang Gan mentioned that he was going to travel through the vicinity of Mount Kunlun, and since the Celestial Sect of Wonders is the indisputable ruler of Mount Kunlun's Northern Foothills, he naturally wished to pay a visit and hoped to receive advice and guidance from its leader, Lin Feng.

"The Great Zhou Empire ..." Lin Feng was convinced and promptly agreed to the request, then summoned Zhu Yi with his mana.

Chapter 368: A Strange Young Man

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Ever since its Sect-Opening Ceremony outside Shazhou City, the Celestial Sect of Wonders has been publicly hailed as the strongest sect in the Northern Foothills of Mount Kunlun.

During the battle that day, almost every sect in the northern regions of Mount Kunlun, large and small, attended the ceremony. The Cloud Elephant Sect, originally considered to be one of the more formidable and influential sects in the area, schemed to ride on the coattails of the Great Void Sect and the Mount Shu Sword Sect in an attack on Lin Feng. In the end, its sect leader, the Cloud Elephant Grandmaster, was effortlessly captured alive by Lin Feng, which astounded everyone there.

Furthermore, the repute of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was rising so aggressively throughout Mount Kunlun, that the strongest sect of its Southern Foothills and previous well-established ruler of Mount Kunlun, the Aeolus Sect, was severely overshadowed by them.

The Aeolus Sect suffered a tremendous loss there. Their Nascent Soul Grandmaster, Master Cyclone, was mercilessly crushed to death by Mount Yujing, but they have never dared to confront Lin Feng for revenge. This was partially due to Mount Yujing's ability to escape into virtual space, but to outsiders, this was a sign of them admitting defeat and swallowing their pride.

Liang Gan was a prince of the Great Zhou Empire, with an honourable position and a respectable status in the kingdom. But precisely because of this, his expedition to Mount Kunlun, especially to its Northern Foothills, required him to pay a visit to the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Regardless of what his personal intentions were, he did not just represent himself, but the entire Great Zhou Empire as well.

When Lin Feng first received the news, the pieces of information that Yan Mingyue provided regarding the members of the Great Zhou Empire that he should take note of flashed through his mind.

"The four sons of the Zhou Emperor Liang Pan are all intelligent, generous, and strong-willed. All of them possess mastery at the peak of the advanced Aurous Core stage, and all of them show immense interest in claiming the spot of the Great Zhou Empire's Crown Prince ..."

After pondering for a bit, Lin Feng agreed to Liang Gan's visit and ordered Zhu Yi to take charge of hosting him.

After being informed of the visitor's identity, Zhu Yi cracked a smile. "Don't worry, Master. I'm on it."

Both master and disciple looked at each other and laughed. Lin Feng then asked, "How does it feel to officially become another person's master?"

Zhu Yi replied with a grin, "I've coached many people before, so I don't actually feel anything starkly different now having this appointment."

Lin Feng nodded and used his mana telepathy to convey something to Zhu Yi, which he also transmitted to his five other immediate disciples simultaneously.

"What?" All of them were taken aback. Zhu Yi looked at Lin Feng in astonishment and stammered, "Master, if that's the case, then why ..."

Lin Feng smiled and replied, "There's no harm. Keeping them around would still be of use."

Zhu Yi contemplated the issue and nodded slowly, "I understand. Don't worry, Master, I know what to do. Big Senior and the rest would also take note of this problem."

Lin Feng nodded with a grin in acknowledgement, and Zhu Yi took his leave. Lin Feng then used his Supernatural Awareness to scan through the Disciples' Abode and discovered many of them hard at work, training diligently.

These disciples failed the previous trial and could only watch as their former playmates became official disciples, which greatly provoked and motivated many of them. After all, these disciples all possessed considerable talent to have entered through the gates of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Those that were eliminated right at the doorsteps of the Six Abodes were training especially hard. Stopping right before the finish line would be a difficult result to accept for anyone.

When Liu Xiafeng and Fatty ran back to console their close companions, it reinvigorated the drive and ambition in many of them.

Ying Luozha was a lone wolf and was used to being solitary, hence had no friends here. Xu Yunsheng and Li Xingfei, on the other hand, had other considerations. They were worried that their former companions might view them as wanting to show off, so they had no intentions of returning to visit for the time being.

Only Liu Xiafeng and Fatty did not bear such concerns and ran back unhesitatingly to find their friends.

Birds of a feather flock together. Having played together in the past, these friends remained cheerful and open-minded, and did not feel that Liu Xiafeng and Fatty were returning to boast. They were in fact glad that these two haven't forgotten about their old friends even after attaining success.

A boy grabbed Fatty's sleeve and scrutinized the flame pattern on the cuff. "There's an additional emblem on Brother Feng's clothes and yours."

Fatty swung his head around snobbishly. "That's the unique symbol of the Inferno Precipice."

After entering the sect, all the second-generation disciples wore a standardized costume that Zhu Yi designed based on his own outfit by collecting the surrounding purple clouds. It was a purple robe with a Taichi symbol sewn on the hem.

After Liu Xiafeng and Fatty entered Xiao Yan's wing, their outfits remained purple, but the design of their robes changed to the formal, dignified one donned by Xiao Yan, with an additional flame pattern placed on the hem.

Even though it only contained a few strokes, it adequately depicted the strength of roaring, dancing flames.

Lin Feng smiled at this sight. After a sweeping glance with his Supernatural Awareness, he already noticed that besides Xiao Yan's Inferno Precipice, the others who have taken in immediate disciples have also added their respective unique insignias on the disciples' robes.

Upon seeing Fatty acting so arrogantly, his friends began jeering. "You're just a blind cat that caught a dead rat. It was sheer dumb luck that let you stumble your way into the Inferno Precipice with Brother Feng!"

"That's ... that's nonsense!" Fatty leaned back, exposing a hint of guilt and shame. He did complete Lin Feng's Purple Clouds Maze with a considerable amount of luck, spinning around the maze like a headless chicken before finally locating the exit. He could not figure out the solution to the puzzle no matter how many times he scratched his head, and even knocked his head against the walls in frustration. No one expected him to blunder upon the secret of the maze by pure luck.

He also scraped through his subsequent challenge in the Inferno Precipice barely with the help of Liu Xiafeng. Fatty felt even guiltier after he recalled the forced smile Xiao Yan gave him as he stared at him after he passed the trial.

The young man who participated in the Inferno Precipice trial alongside Liu Xiafeng and Fatty but sadly failed to make the cut, was Xu Yunsheng's acquaintance. When he saw the two of them, his eyes burned with uncontrollable grief and anguish.

Liu Xiafeng watched in amusement as the other disciples chided Fatty repeatedly. Then, someone shoved his way to Liu Xiafeng and asked curiously, "Brother Feng, Grandmaster mentioned that those who were successfully inducted as official disciples would receive a reward. What reward did the both of you get?"

Liu Xiafeng made no effort to conceal his reward, and extended his right hand out generously in full view of everyone. He was wearing a ring with a tiny piece of crystal white jade embedded inside.

"This is the Storage Ring that he just gave us. It has over ten times the capacity of the original Storage Pouch, making it extremely handy."

The other disciples crowded around him, their faces brimming with envy. Fatty also followed suit, flashing his right hand out haughtily like a proud rooster.

"What else is there, what else is there?" Everyone pestered them continuously.

Fatty cleared his throat and said, "We've also been rewarded with numerous elixirs. The common ones like the Energy Gathering Pill and the Energy Cultivation Pill aren't worth mentioning. The most impressive ones are the Thunderous Echo Elixir pill and the Barrier-Breaking Elixir pill."

"One has amazing healing properties, boasting miraculous effectiveness in remedying physical injuries. It's capable of curing the wounded victim as long as he's not on the brink of death." Fatty spouted in an unceasing flow, "The Barrier-Breaking Pill, on the other hand, helps to overcome bottlenecks encountered during cultivation. Both are incredibly useful elixirs."

Fatty then paused. His face lit up with a conceited smirk while his left hand fondled with the Storage Ring on his right hand. With a "swoosh", he took a few talismans. Horrifying mana waves rippled forth from the ring, frightening everyone on-site.

Among those was one particular vermillion talisman with intense energy levels that struck fear in their hearts.

"These are the talismans that we received. I wouldn't bother talking about the five Foundation Establishment stage talismans that we all received, but check this out, this is an Aurous Core stage talisman!" Fatty jumped about joyfully and blurted, "We're only in the Qi Training stage and every one of us is already given an Aurous Core stage talisman. And Master said that there would have been even better goodies in store for us if our mastery levels weren't so low."

One young man exclaimed in awe, "I heard at home that many large sects would never give Aurous Core stage talismans to disciples in the Qi Training stage. Among those who do possess an Aurous Core stage talisman during the Qi Training stage, a small percentage of them picked one up by chance during their travels, while most them have high-level cultivators in their family who gave them a talisman for protection."

Fatty raised his head. "Well apparently, that's not the case. When we just entered the sect, everyone was issued with three Foundation Establishment stage talismans for protection even though none of us could even summon our Qi back then. And now we've received Aurous Core stage talismans after we just became immediate disciples. I even heard Master say that this is just the beginning. My Master is definitely better than ..."

Before he could complete his sentence, Liu Xiafeng cut him off abruptly and pacified the others with a smile, saying, "All in all, work hard everyone. Master said that there will still be tests in the future, so there might even be one coming up soon."

Everyone agreed peppily in unison. Liu Xiafeng turned around and shot Fatty a menacing glare when no one was looking.

Fatty grinned sheepishly. Staying close to Xiao Yan indeed grants them greater access to various elixirs as compared to other factions.

Xiao Yan actually did not mind them telling others about this. Zhu Yi and the others could already guess, but Liu Xiafeng still instructed Fatty not to reveal this privilege to anyone else. However, Fatty almost let slip the news on the spur of the moment.

Lin Feng watched the drama unfold in amusement. "This Fatty has one of the best fortunes of all the second-generation disciples. Well, having good luck is also an advantage."

With Liu Xiafeng and Fatty personally sharing their achievements, the other disciples' passion and drive for training have surged once again. Such is the value of providing good role models to look towards, which made Lin Feng nod in satisfaction.

"Master, we're back." Lin Feng heard Zhu Yi's voice and drew a line across the air with his hand. A gap cracked through space, and a group of people filed out from the slit. Leading the pack was Zhu Yi, and half a step behind him was a young man who wore a golden crown and jade-green robes, holding a silk fan in his hand.

The young man promptly bowed to greet Lin Feng. "I'm Liang Gan from the Great Zhou Empire. I pay my respects to Senior Lin, the Sect Master."

He used the most appropriate method for a junior in the cultivation world to greet a high-level senior - proper, moderate, respectful, yet not compromising one's esteemed status.

Lin Feng nodded in acknowledgement. "The Fourth Prince is too kind. I've communicated telepathically with the Zhou Emperor for a long time but I've never had the fortune of meeting him. Meeting you today really reminds me of the Emperor himself."

Liang Gan hastily added, "How can I dare compare myself to Father? But Father did mention that he wanted to meet Senior Lin."

"There will come a chance." Lin Feng smiled as his gaze landed on the people standing behind Liang Gan. Two cultivators in the advanced Nascent Soul stage flanked Liang Gan like bodyguards on either side.

Besides them, there was a middle-aged Aurous Core cultivator with the look of a scholar. But what surprised Lin Feng the most was that the final accompanying cultivator was actually a teenager only in the Qi Training stage. He fixed his eyes on the teenager as Liang Gan's other escorts bowed in respect.

Liang Gan probably had plenty of available escorts and squires, and the ones he selected to accompany him up Mount Yujing must have been his most trusted advisors. So, what was so special about this fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenager only in the Qi Training stage?

"He did a self-introduction just now. I believe he said his name was Chu Yang?"

Chapter 369: Is it a Dream or the Reality of the Future?

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

After all, Liang Gan was only a prince in the Great Zhou Empire and not a Crown Prince. He was incomparable to Prince Chongyun from the Great Qin Empire, who had a personal assistant in the Stellar Holy Man. But with the protection of two Grandmasters in the Nascent Soul Stage, it was still very luxurious.

The middle-aged man in the Aurous Core Stage looked bold and intelligent. This was normal. It did not mean that a higher level of cultivation meant that one was more scheming. Especially for Liang Gan, who was coveting the position of the Crown Prince. He had to possess the necessary intelligence.

Compared to these people, this youth, Chu Yang, was a little different.

Although he was simply dressed, the way he carried himself was different.

In particular, he revealed a depressing feeling in his eyes that was different from people his age.

Lin Feng communicated with Zhu Yi, "Zhu Yi, when you saw Chu Yang, was he like this too?"

"Master, when I met him for the first time, he covered himself up very well. It was as if he was Liang Gan's follower." Lin Feng replied Lin Feng using his mana. "Initially, when Liang Gan brought him up to the mountains, I did not notice. I only thought that he was Liang Gan's useful assistant."

"But after separating from their big group and embarking on the journey, when the six of us were left, he became like that."

Zhu Yi scanned Chu Yang, "He does not seem to want to cover up anything. He even greeted me specially. I can see that this greeting was only a respect of my cultivation and power, and had nothing to do with my status."

Liang Gan naturally noticed Lin Feng's gaze landing on Chu Yang. He hesitated for a while and said, "Comrade Chu is my friend and have helped me a lot. For convenience sake and protection purposes, he is dressing very simply."

Chu Yang smiled slightly and greeted Lin Feng, "Don't be alarmed Elder, the Fourth Prince and I have no choice."

He mocked himself, "My cultivation is too low. If an assassin comes, my life is gone."

"Oh? Don't be too hard on yourself." Lin Feng replied.

After hearing this, Liang Gan and the three people around him creased their brows. They were ready to make a move but they saw that Chu Yang looked even more serious.

Chu Yang's gaze flashed and he lifted his head to look at Lin Feng. Although it was for a moment, this action was quite rude.

During this moment, Lin Feng could also feel that Chu Yang was very hard-edged.

It was as if he wanted to tear apart the Nine Heavens and refused to yield to anything. Although he was only in the Qi Cultivation Stage, Lin Feng could clearly feel it.

It was not because of him, but because Lin Feng was very familiar with such an aura. He could see it all the time and was always surrounded by it.

Wasn't it the domineering aura of a destined person?

Although the details were different, the underlying, domineering aura was the same for all.

"I am surrounded by such an aura every day, especially this kind of domineering aura." Lin Feng laughed in his head and communicated it with Zhu Yi. "Zhu Yi, what is your feel about Chu Yang?"

"I am asking for your first feeling about him."

Zhu Yi raised his brows, "The initial impression? It is not easy to describe. It's a little awkward, some sympathy and also a bit of dislike."

"Dislike is accurate." Lin Feng thought in his heart. "People of the same character will clash. All of you are destined, thus it is normal to dislike one another."

Even if it was between Xiao Yan and the rest, the initial feeling was also the same. As time went by and they had more interaction, they developed a closer bond.

Lin Feng looked at the youth with a smiling intent. Chu Yang laughed bitterly in his heart and bowed, "Elder, don't mock me anymore."

He was a little uncomfortable, "Don't tell me he has found out my secret? The elders were right. He is really profound. I must be careful and reduce my interaction with him"

"He fits the bill but he already has a master. Only when he cuts their ties can he become my Immediate Disciple."

Lin Feng used the Talent Analysis Device to test Chu Yang, which left him regretful.

He did not continue making things difficult for Chu Yang. Chu Yang was hiding things from him. Whatever he said just now was enough to make Chu Yang petrified. He must think of how to relieve the suspicion of Liang Gan and the rest.

As Lin Feng greeted Liang Gan, he used his mana to communicate with Chu Yang, "May I know where your master is?"

Chu Yang did not move and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, "Don't tell me he can only tell my background?"

He replied Lin Feng, "My master is Meng Chaoran. He met you before. He always mentions you in front of me and posits you as a role model."

Lin Feng's head was filled with a tranquil middle-aged man.

"So he is an Ethereal Mountain Sect disciple." Lin Feng was a little regretful. Although Wu Yunliang and Meng Chaoran only looked out for their own benefits at the Sect-Opening Ceremony at Shazhou County, Lin Feng did not blame them since he did not bring them any benefits. What right did he have to ask them to risk their lives?

Of course, they did not make any contributions then. When they asked Lin Feng for help after that, Lin Feng naturally did not bother about them.

On the whole, Lin Feng had a pretty good impression of Wu Yunliang and Meng Chaoran, especially Meng Chaoran.

"Looking at Meng Chaoran, he has a pretty good relationship with his master." Lin Feng shook his head while laughing. "I shall not brood over this anymore. I hope that both him and his master can create their own history together."

The hosts sat at the Grand Heavens Pavilion, as Lin Feng took the master seat. Liang Gan and the rest sat around him. Zhu Yi was accompanying them at one side, as the parties enjoyed as they conversed.

Chu Yang sat at the furthest seat quietly. He listened more than he spoke. Liang Gan and the rest knew this look of his. They knew that Chu Yang was an observant and quiet person.

However, Chu Yang was distracted now.

"Is that a dream and I am in reality now, or is that actually the reality and I am in a dream now?"

Chu Yang recalled that not long ago, he and his own sect juniors went unconscious as they were not careful. During that period of time, they seemed to have gone through a lot and felt that time had passed very long.

That felt like a real experience, as things turned out the way they should be. Chu Yang stood over there and seemed to witness his future path. Everything seemed to be detailed and every person he met seemed to be real.

But that was a tragedy.

Chu Yang saw the downfall of the Ethereal Mountain Sect and the place was turned to ashes. The corpses of his sect members were everywhere while his master, Meng Chaoran, had perished along with the Ethereal Mountain Sect.

Before that, he was protected by Meng Chaoran, but he did not know what caused the disaster.

After that, he risked his life to investigate the reason for the disaster. He finally found out that the Ethereal Mountains was a sacrificial pawn in the dispute between the Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Great Zhou Empire.

The Ethereal Mountains depended on the Mount Shu Sword Sect and Liang Gan planned to visit the Mount Shu Sword Sect. He was traveling around Mount Kunlun and the Mount Shu Sword Sect arranged for the Ethereal Mountains to host him as a gesture.

Initially, everything was fine. Eventually, Liang Gan met with an assassination attempt at the north foot of Mount Kunlun. Upon investigation, he was betrayed and therefore he was compromised. The mole implicated the Ethereal Mountains.

The Ethereal Mountains incurred the wrath of the Great Zhou Empire that led to its downfall. This matter was just the start. After that, there were a series of conflicts that caused the relationship between the Great Zhou Empire and the Mount Shu Sword Sect to worsen.

Facing the Great Zhou Empire, Chu Yang did not back down. He got what he was meant to have and focused on cultivating, hoping to rise up again someday.

During the cultivation process, he went to the Ancient Yuantian World, where he matured rapidly.

It was also at the Ancient Yuantian World that he met his greatest love. But eventually, he lost her too.

That experience was so real that made Chu Yang heartbroken when he thought about it, "If this is a dream, I hope that I will never wake up. If that is a dream that predicts my future, I will not let the tragedy repeat!"

In that world, Chu Yang died for a cause. It was also during that moment of death that his awareness seemed to return to this world and to the moment where he and sect members awoke.

To prevent the tragedy from repeating, Chu Yang started to prepare from the moment he awoke.

He displayed a talent and intelligence far beyond what he had before and gained the recognition of his own sect elder, Wu Yunliang.

From Wu Yunliang's words and what he knew, he realized the truth about the downfall of the Ethereal Mountains in that world.

His own Second Elder Uncle, a pertinent figure in the Ethereal Mountains, had long been bribed by Wu Qingrou. The Ethereal Mountains depended on the Mount Shu Sword Sect was also planned by Wu Qingrou. After that, when Liang Gan was ambushed, it was also her doing.

Her goal was to cause tension between the Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Great Zhou Empire, so that they will put their attention on each other and not care about anyone else.

And during this period of time, Wu Qingrou commanded the cleansing of the powers of the Great Qin aristocratic families.

Such internal disputes were easily exploited by others. Wu Qingrou successfully caused these two enemies to face off, relieving her future worries and exploited it to resolve the root problem that led to the weakness of the Great Qin Empire.

But it was a pity for the Ethereal Mountains. It was just a pawn that could be used when needed, while Wu Qingrou was the strategist and both the Great Zhou Empire and Mount Shu Sword Sect were the players.

After clearing everything up, Chu Yang naturally wanted to stop it from happening. But he was afraid when he looked at Lin Feng. The fear was even clearer.

"Can my knowledge of the future path in the dream be my support? If it can, why does the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders not exist in my dream?"

Chapter 370: Instinctive Urge to Resist

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Chu Yang's eyelids were drooping and his vision was focused on the bricks in front of him. However, all his attention was still on Lin Feng.

That was because he felt extremely frightened. The source of this fear was the fact that his direction in life did not seem so clear anymore and was not one that he could rely on anymore. However, it was his biggest chip at turning his life around.

If it was only Lin Feng, Chu Yang could still comfort himself. Maybe he had been cultivating behind closed doors and communication between him and the outside world was scarce. After that, he continued to stay at the Grand Celestial World. All these explained why he had not heard of Lin Feng before.

Besides Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders, there were differences in other things too.

In that era, Wu Qingrou managed to remove the powers of the aristocratic families, which were the oppositions to the Great Qin Empire. During that period, he was on the side of the royal family.

But from what he observed now, Wu Qingrou seemed to be very close to the aristocratic families and was allying with them to keep the Great Qin royal family in check.

Even if Wu Qingrou was colluding with the aristocratic families, regardless of any reason, all this was different from Chu Yang's experience.

If one thing was different, there was a huge possibility that everything else could be different. For Chu Yang, who was walking on a thin rope, a minor error would cause him to fail terribly and perhaps even not recover from it.

Chu Yang sometimes wished this was a dream and everything was only a figment of his imagination.

However, it was a pity that aside from a few discrepancies, the prophecies from his past memories convinced Chu Yang that a lot of things were bound to happen.

For instance, Liang Gan really wanted to pay a visit to the Mount Shu Sword Sect. Before he went to Mount Shu, he also really came to Mount Kunlun.

"I remembered she mentioned that she met with a serious injury during her childhood and that injury changed her destiny." Chu Yang was horrified, "Although she does not want to tell me the concrete details, I remembered that she mentioned that it was at Mount Kunlun."

"Mount Kunlun, Mount Kunlun, the cursed Mount Kunlun, why does everything happen there?" Chu Yang turned his body around suddenly and looked at the rooftop of the Grand Heavens Pavilion, "But Mount Kunlun is so big, I do not even know its exact location."

"Comrade Chu, what is it?"

Chu Yang was slightly shocked. After regaining his awareness, he saw a middle-aged scribe in the Aurous Core Stage looking at him quietly, but his eyes revealed his curiosity.

Liang Gan looked over with concern too. Chu Yang coughed slightly and nodded at Liang Gan and the middle-aged scribe separately. After that, he saluted Lin Feng with his hands and said, "I have witnessed the magnificence of the Grand Heavens Pavilion and was momentarily out of spirits. If I have offended you, please forgive me for it."

Lin Feng answered, "No worries."

He turned his head to look at Liang Gan, "Since you have the intention of traveling around Mount Kunlun, I am happy to hear about it. Please help me pay my respects to your father."

Liang Gan knew that this was Lin Feng's way of bidding goodbye. He stood up immediately, "Sorry to have disturbed."

Lin Feng watched as Zhu Yi guided them out of the Grand Heavens Pavilion.

After the crowd left the pavilion, everyone turned back to look at the pavilion and expressed their awe.

Chu Yang was also looking at the pavilion and many thoughts flashed across his mind, "Regardless of whether it is Liang Gan or the Ethereal Mountain Sect, this leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is the best help to engage in order to break a stalemate. But..but I do not wish to interact with him much."

"He is too mysterious. Especially in my past era, I have not heard anything about him." Chu Yang sighed, "I hope that this is due to the fact that I am too ignorant in that past era."

Unlike Chu Yang who was confused, Liang Gan was only feeling a little regretful. Although he clearly knew that on his first visit, Lin Feng's extended welcome was a huge showing of his courtesy, he could also feel that Lin Feng was indifferent towards the disputes between the princes in the Great Zhou Empire.

In the internal court of the Great Zhou Empire, the Marquis of Xuanji, Zhu Hongwu, had the greatest power and he was a supporter of the crown prince. It was not due to selfish benefits, but the scientifically inclined Zhu Hongwu was very concerned about name and reputation.

With Zhu Hongwu's influence over there, unless Liang Pan changed his mind, the position of the crown prince was very stable.

After Zhu Yi sent them off from Mount Yujing, Liang Gan sighed, "Zhu Yi is the brightest heir of the Marquis of Xuanji. The leader of the Celestial Sect is indeed brilliant."

The middle-aged scribe beside him stared at the spot which Zhu Yi disappeared from and said suddenly, "My Lord, the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders seems aloof. I fear that he will not be proactive in interfering in this dispute."

"On the other hand, it may be helpful to make friends with Zhu Yi. If we can gain his trust, the effect may not be worse off than with Lin Feng."

Everyone knew what he meant. Zhu Yi was Lin Feng's Immediate Disciple. If he met with any difficulties, Lin Feng would interfere. In a short span of time, Lin Feng's reputation for protecting his disciples had already spread across the entire Grand Celestial World.

Besides, forgetting Lin Feng, Zhu Yi was Zhu Hongwu's biological son. If Zhu Hongwu supported the crown prince and his son supported Liang Gan, it would be a hit on the reputation of the crown prince and Zhu Hongwu.

Chu Yang said, "This idea is good and there is time to make it happen."

"Zhu Yi has confirmed that he will return to the Great Zhou for the examination. His main purpose is to safeguard his mother's reputation. If someone was to create an opening for him, things may go on smoother and both sides will benefit from each other."

Chu Yang said, "Especially the fact that Zhu Yi and the Marquee of Xuanji always conflict with each other. All these are in place, but…"

"Whatever that we can think about, the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Zhu Yi can also think about it too." Chu Yang changed his subject, "That is why you have to be sincere and honest in carrying this out. If you do this with a scheming mind, the effect will not be good."

The middle-aged scribe smiled slightly, "My Lord does things with sincerity and honesty."

Chu Yang smiled and was silent. He also agreed with the view of the scribe. He was willing to be Liang Gan's doorkeeper. Besides the fact that Liang Gan needed protection, he was also a very wise and steady person.

But with regards to the interaction with Lin Feng, Chu Yang developed an instinctive urge to resist it. Although he could control it logically, it was impossible for him to approach him with enthusiasm.

Furthermore, he had other yearnings in his heart, "How is she now? From what she says, she was injured during summer when she was nine years old. Isn't it somewhere at this time? Where exactly at Mount Kunlun is it?"

On Mount Yujing, after Zhu Yi sent Liang Gan, Chu Yang and the rest off, Lin Feng did not think about the matter anymore.

Although he could not see the detailed statistics of Chu Yang, it seemed like it was unbelievably good. But at the moment, this had nothing to do with Lin Feng, thus he did not think about it much anymore.

Lin Feng returned to the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World and pondered, "To increase my abilities now, there are three paths for me to take."

"Firstly, think of a way to contain that sword. I can feel that the power of one-third this sword is even higher than that of the Hidden Dragon Gorge, Six Appearances Sword and the Evil Shadows Sword. If I can control the entire sword and pair it up with the Sky-Shielding Umbrella as an attack and defense combination, they will complement each other."

"Secondly, I can further reinforce the power of the Two Elements of Creation Formation. Out of the Six Forms of Creation and Destruction, only the Heaven and Earth Change is complete and can unleash its full potential. The rest of the forms still have potential to be unearthed."

Lin Feng sat on top of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and looked at the space above him, "Thirdly, there is also another reliable method. I can break through my own realm and increase my powers without relying on other materials."

As he let out his breath lightly, Lin Feng used his palm to slap his head and a bright radiance appeared above it. A light figure of an infant with a similar appearance to Lin Feng rose from his head. It was his Nascent Soul.

Looking at the appearance of the infant, it was already at least three or four years old. This meant that Lin Feng was at the peak of the beginner stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Lin Feng slightly felt that his Nascent Soul had infused with the way of the Heaven and Earth, and there seemed to be an unlimited power from the Heaven and Earth feeding his Nascent Soul.

But this feeding was on and off. Lin Feng knew that the accumulation was sufficient, but his state of mind still lacked something

If this feeding was able to achieve some form of consistency, then he knew that he was ready to absorb the Nine Heavens Clear Air into his body and allow his mana to reach a higher level.

"Sitting and waiting will not solve anything." Lin Feng recognized this point immediately. He pondered about it for a moment and his original self continued to remain unmoved in the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World. Whereas his Steel Tree Avatar left the place and even Mount Yujing, landing at Mount Kunlun.

His Steel Tree Avatar was slowly exploring Mount Kunlun.

The abundance of flora, ancient trees, grand canyons, overlapping mountain peaks, waves and the sea of clouds…

Lin Feng was trying to fathom every one of these scenes and feel the magnificence of the creation of the Heaven and Earth.

Just as Lin Feng was busking in the miraculous view using his Steel Tree Avatar, his original self in Mount Yujing was lifeless like a sculpture. Its sign of life was gradually disappearing.

Lin Feng did not transfer all his energy to his Steel Tree Avatar. He was separating his body on purpose and creating a form of opposing condition between them – active and inactive.

Above his original self, the light figure of the infant sat on his knees. Above him, a streak of clear air became more and more obvious. A huge amount of the Nine Heavens Clear Air entered his body, nourishing his flesh and soul.

Under the effect of the clear air, Lin Feng's Nascent Soul continued to grow stronger. Its appearance changed from a three, four year old to a seven, eight year old.

Suddenly, his Steel Tree Avatar stopped moving, as if his body became a rigid Steel Tree.

Whereas his original self on Mount Yujing gained some signs of life and his eyes opened wide suddenly.

The Nascent Soul slowly returned into Lin Feng's head. Lin Feng revealed a smile on his face. He stood up and the Steel Tree Avatar regained some signs of life too. It was ready to return to Mount Yujing.

At this point, Lin Feng's Steel Tree Avatar felt a sudden vibration of mana, as if a battle was ensuing inside of it.

"Mediocre cultivation, but something special in the mantra." Lin Feng smiled. He did not seem to mind as the north foot of Mount Kunlun was like a backyard to him. But he would not draw up any restrictions to prevent anyone from entering.

Until there was a voice in Lin Feng's ears that left him excited, "Oh, someone from the Grand Celestial World?"

Chapter 371: A Visitor in the Ancient World

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng's Steel Tree Avatar travelled between the mountains and he soon arrived at a mountain valley. The valley flashed a bright radiance instantaneously.

"Oh?" Lin Feng touched his brows slightly. The magic item that was causing the radiance should be an Aurous Core Stage item. There was nothing special about it.

What left Lin Feng surprised was that it seemed like a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator was using this magic item.

Normally, including Lin Feng's Celestial Sect of Wonders, all the sects would only give a magic item that was at most one realm above a disciple's cultivation.

Lin Feng was already very generous with his own disciples. He was so generous that it left the other sects envious. Xiao Yan, Xiao Budian and the rest of the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators held a piece of Aurous Core Stage magic item.

Once they form the Aurous Core, they would be given a Nascent Soul Stage item. Some other time when they formed the Nascent Soul, Lin Feng would fight to give each and every one of them a magic treasure. Of course, this was a long shot. Lin Feng was also not confident that he could do it.

But besides the special circumstance in which Xiao Yan battled Shi Chongyun, Lin Feng would not give his disciples too many magic treasures that were above their cultivation. It was not that he was unwilling, but the fact that they would be of little use to them. As their cultivation was lacking, they could not unleash the potential of the magic treasure.

Previously at Xingyun Peak, after the Flaming Dragon Celestial Armor was given to Xiao Yan, it was no longer a battle between Xiao Yan and Shi Chongyun. To a certain extent, it was more of a battle between the Flaming Dragon Celestial Armor and the Evil Shadow Sword.

It was a waste to let a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator use an Aurous Core Stage magic item, just as it was before Lin Feng.

If he did not pick it up by coincidence, then it must be someone pampering him too much.

If it was to provide sufficient protection strength to an elder, then the Aurous Core Stage Talisman would be a more appropriate choice.

When Lin Feng entered the mountain valley, he saw a 12 or 13 year old girl being surrounded by three Foundation Establishment Stage opponents. From what it seemed, without the Aurous Core Stage magic item, she would have been defeated.

But she would lose sooner or later. If her opponents did not want her alive, she would be dead by now.

"Trying to start a war with the Jun Family and the Luo Family, isn't your Yang Family trying to gain a foothold in the Ancient Yuantian World?"

The girl snapped and released a streak of sword radiance, forcing the opponents to retreat.

The Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators looked at the sword item in the hands of the young girl and their gaze was filled with caution and greed. After hearing her, the laughed, "Starting a war with both families is obviously tough, but we will not let the news spread."

"We do not want to put you in a spot. As long as you bring us to find the little wretch from the Luo Family, we can let you off."

The girl looked at them with contempt, "Do you think I am so gullible?"

The cultivators laughed, "Jun Zining, believe it or not, but we have to find out the whereabouts of the little wretch from the Luo Family from you today."

The girl was bitter and angry and tightly grabbed onto her Liyuan Sword.

"My carelessness is to be blame. I actually lost the Voice-Projecting Crystal." Jun Zining cursed in her heart. "Otherwise, even if I cannot seek help from home, I can still ask for reinforcements from the Purple Clouds Sect."

She calmed her nerves and swallowed two pieces of elixir that helped to replenish her mana. She swayed the Liyuan Sword once again to force her enemies to back off. She started to observe the mountain valley and looked for an opportunity to escape. "Not sure how Qingwu is doing now. She was hurt previously. Is she seriously injured?"

Just as Jun Zining was scanning the mountain valley, she saw a tall and bronze-faced youth standing on a mountain ridge, who was looking at the fight with interest.

Jun Zining was stunned, "When did this person arrive? I did not notice him earlier. Even the Liyuan Sword did not tell me."

Noticing that Jun Zining looked confused, the cultivators were wary of any schemes. Only one of them followed her gaze and looked towards the young man. As he looked over, he was also shocked.

The opponent might come up with schemes, but their own comrade would not. The two other cultivators also looked over cautiously and saw Lin Feng's Steel Tree Avatar. They were all shocked, "This person had actually arrived without us realizing?"

Lin Feng did not even bother to hide his tracks. He just stood on the mountain ridge openly and watched the battle that was ensuing.

He was feeling very good at this moment. "Oh, it seems that the inheritance of mantra within a family is not considered to be discipleship? In this way, if I want to accept any disciples in the future, I can consider these few talents from those cultivation families."

"As long as I can eliminate those with harmful intent, the pool of talent will still be very big. Not bad, not bad."

Lin Feng smiled while looking at the Talent Analysis Device, "The system has processed finish. The information is as follows."

"Innate Ability – 8; Intelligence – 7; Determination – 6; Fortune – 7."

"Conclusion: The target's talent is slightly on the higher end. It fits the criteria for a core disciple. Please consider accepting this individual as a disciple."

Lin Feng nodded his head, "The total is 28. It is not yet 30, hence does not fit the criteria of being my Immediate Disciple. But it is enough to be Xiao Budian's disciple."

"To reach 30 is no mean feat." Lin Feng thought about it and observed the vibration of Jun Zining's mana carefully. He recorded a few points in his head.

On Mount Yujing, Lin Feng's original body left the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World. He summoned the Black Dragon Jieyu. As Jieyu came in front of him, he bowed, "Master, are there any instructions for me?"

Lin Feng asked, "Jieyu, if I am not wrong, I recall you saying that the Ancient Yuantian World is divided among the 7 Aristocratic Families. And these 7 families represent the 7 powers in the Divine Lands."

Jieyu nodded and answered, "This is the case. Behind one of the families is the figure of the Great Void Sect. I had once followed a Great Void Sect member to the Ancient Yuantian World, thus I know a lot of insider news."

"The Purple Clouds Sect is at the Ancient Yuantian World too. Does it have its own representative too?" Lin Feng asked. Jieyu nodded his head, "That is right. The representative of the Purple Clouds Sect is the Jun Family."

Lin Feng understood everything and thought for a moment, "Does the Ancient Yuantian World have a Yang Family?"

Jieyu answered with certainty, "Yes, the Yang Family is also one of the 7 families. Behind the Yang Family is the Samsara Sect."

"Samsara Sect?" Lin Feng thought for a moment. He had heard of this sect, but it was only restricted to rumors. He had not interacted with them at all.

The Samsara Sect was a powerful sect in the south region of the Divine Lands. It was separated from the Great Zhou Empire by the Great Swamps of the Ancient Region. Further south was a great spatial gap that connected the Barren Lands of the demonic clan.

The common view of the human cultivation realm was to classify the Samsara Sect along with the Purple Clouds Sect, Heaven Lake Sect and the Heavenly Master Sword Sect as great powers. But they were weaker than the ancient Three Great Holy Ground, Great Qin and Great Zhou Empire.

But in fact, according to what Lin Feng had understand, the Samsara Sect was a very strong sect. The only reason why it dropped by one level was because there was a huge internal war within the sect, which was more serious than that of the internal squabbles of the Great Qin Empire.

The central powers and the aristocratic families in the Great Qin Empire internal court might have issues with each other, but everything was still in stable condition. Both parties could still control themselves.

Whereas for the Samsara Sect, many hundred thousand years ago, its internal department was already in disagreement. There were even many cracks within according to history.

According to legends, the Samsara cultivators understood the Six Paths of Samsara many years ago and used it as a foundation to build up the Samsara Sect. It was an extremely powerful sect along with the Three Great Holy Grounds.

However, following that, in the war within the demonic world, the Samsara cultivators experienced a huge defeat. After the war, the Samsara Sect was divided into the Six Paths – Heavens, Asura, Mortal, Beast, Hell and Hungry Ghoul. There were many internal squabbles between one another, which affected the influence of the Samsara Sect.

It was also during this period that many elders left and set up their own sects elsewhere.

Among them, one of the elders eventually created the Huo Family, one of the big four families in the Great Qin Empire.

In the past, Lin Feng helped Wang Lin to remove Sikong Nan from the Million Wraith Sect. It was the Hungry Ghoul Path of the Samsara Sect.

From here, it was obvious how prosperous the Samsara Sect used to be in the past.

The internal battle in the Samsara Sect has continued to this day, but there has been no resolution as of yet. The disagreements between the Six Paths had caused much unhappiness.

"The Yang Family is the archenemy of the Luo Family in the Ancient Yuantian World. The territories of the two families are tightly linked. They have been fighting for thousands of years." Jieyu then introduced, "The Luo Family is the representative of the Great Zhou Empire in the Ancient Yuantian World."

After hearing this, Lin Feng slightly creased his brows, "I have not heard of any dispute between the Great Zhou Empire and the Samsara Sect."

Jieyu nodded his head, "You are right, Master. This is only a dispute between the Yang and the Luo Family. As long as it does not affect their reaping of generous benefits and precious resources of the Divine Lands to the Samsara Sect and the Great Zhou Empire, then the Samsara Sect and the Great Zhou Empire will turn a blind eye to this."

After hearing what Jieyu said, Lin Feng understood that the dispute between the great powers in the Divine Lands does not completely extend to the Ancient Yuantian World. Although the 7 families are restricted by their backers, they still maintain some level of freedom in their decision-making.

For instance, the Great Zhou Empire and the Great Qin Empire do not share a cordial relationship. But it does not mean that the Luo Family and the Tan family, supported by the Great Zhou Empire and Great Qin Empire respectively, have an opposing relationship.

Vice versa, tense relationships between two families in the Ancient Yuantian World may also mean that their backers do share an alliance.

Lin Feng laughed, "Interesting."

On Mount Kunlun, his Steel Tree Avatar laughed while watching Jun Zining and the Yang Family cultivators fight. With him around, although both sides were fighting, half their minds were on Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's sudden appearance left everyone on tenterhooks as it was not obvious whose side he was taking.

Jun Zining glanced at Lin Feng and her eyes suddenly became brighter, "The way this person is standing seems like he is standing in his own backyard, don't tell me…"

Chapter 372: Tearing it Apart

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

For an average person, his attitude in his own turf and someone else's turf would be different. It was not due to fear or prudence. On the contrary, it was due to an innate self-defense mechanism.

As Lin Feng stood on the mountain ridge and looked at Jun Zining and the Yang Family cultivators, it was as if a house owner was looking amusedly at a few kids who had trespassed into his house for fun.

His attitude made Jun Zining ponder over things, "The north foot of Mount Kunlun has seen the rise of a great power in this new era, named the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Is he a disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders?"

As she thought of this point, a glimmer of hope arose in her mind. "I heard my father said before that the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Purple Clouds Sect share a cordial relationship. Although our Jun Family has no ties with the Celestial Sect of Wonders, it is still possible to form some ties with them. He might be my savior."

After struggling to dodge another one of the attacks, Jun Zining shouted at Lin Feng, "Are you a senior from the Celestial Sect of Wonders?"

As her words reverberated, the three Yang Family Cultivators who were surrounding her were shocked. As they looked at Lin Feng, they were a little more wary and cautious.

Although they came from the Ancient Yuantian World and knew little about the rising Celestial Sect of Wonders in the Divine Lands, they still had to know more about the north foot of Mount Kunlun since they were on the move.

If this was a person from another sect, then forget it. But if he was a Celestial Sect disciple, then he must be treated with caution. If one was not cautious enough, he might land into big trouble.

Lin Feng looked at Jun Zining curiously. Although she was only 11 or 12 years old, Lin Feng could tell that she was a cunning person. She was like Xiao Budian.

But Xiao Budian was clever. If Lin Feng did not know that he was actually a cunning person, he might only have thought that Xiao Budian liked to act cute.

Jun Zining said hurriedly, "Senior, I am a successor of the Purple Clouds Sect. On the account that our families have close ties, please lend me a hand."

The Yang Family cultivators were shocked. They did not know what to say.

Although the Jun Family was the representative of the Purple Clouds Sect in the Ancient Yuantian World and they also received advice on mantras and abhijna from the Purple Clouds Sect, they could not be truly considered as a sub-branch of the Purple Clouds Sect.

But it was true that Jun Zining had a long history with the Purple Clouds Sect. The Yang Family cultivators looked at Lin Feng and were worried, "If this person does not recognize the difference between the Purple Clouds Sect and the Jun Family, then he might be fooled by Jun Zining."

One of them even stepped out and waved his hand at Lin Feng, "My friend, we have a personal vendetta with her. We hope you do not interfere."

Lin Feng smiled slightly, "If the three of you leave now, then we shall let this matter rest."

The Yang Family cultivators looked ghastly, "We are on opposite sides then." The three of them looked at one another and nodded their heads in unison. They each drew out a small flag. The black flag moved with the wind and was converted to a huge flag a few feet high rapidly. As the flag flew, there were gusts of wind that blew from the Nine Netherworld Hell.

The three Yang Family cultivators started to read out incantations together. A huge triangular formation map pattern appeared on the ground and covered the entire mountain valley.

The complex patterns flashed a bright purple radiance. This left Jun Zining looking ghastly, "The Lightning Purgatory Formation!"

The three corners of the formation each shot out a light beam. They intersected in space and condensed to form a huge transparent light ball. This light ball resonated a muffled, rumbling sound, like a dark lightning cloud that never rained.

The light ball was suspended above Lin Feng and Jun Zining. It emanated a frightening aura and the vibration of its mana was petrifying.

Lin Feng was in awe as he looked at this scene, "Oh? What a wonderful formation. So, it seems that the Yang Family is close to the Netherworld Sect?"

After the three Yang Family cultivators heard Lin Feng, they were despondent. He had discovered their identities and even knew that behind the Yang Family was the Samsara Sect. Amidst all these, he was not even bothered about it.

This person was either too powerful or a lunatic.

But the three of them were still confident of their combined power that had produced the Lightning Purgatory Formation.

In fact, the cultivations of these three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators were insufficient to control this formation. Even for Aurous Core Stage cultivators, they were also unable to control it themselves.

But with the three flags with them, they could realize all of this.

These three flags were Foundation Establishment Stage magic items. Each of these flags were useless by themselves.

Their purposes were the same. It was to form the Lightning Purgatory Formation.

And the power of the Lightning Purgatory Formation was enough to make one pleased. Lin Feng could feel the ferocious and vast lightning-type spiritual power contained within the light ball. It was as if a ceiling of lightning had engulfed the place.

But to Lin Feng, he was unbothered, since it was only his avatar on this mountain valley.

Lin Feng was more interested as he looked at the formation. He had words of praise for it, "The mantras of the Samsara Sect are indeed special."

Following hundred thousand years of development, besides the magnificence of the Six Paths of Samsara, there had also been a huge progress and change in the practicality of the mantras and abhijna.

Among the Six Paths of Samsara, the physical martial arts and the killer mantras of the Asura Form cultivators were the most brutal.

The Beast Form was renowned for rearing spiritual beasts and commanding these beasts to go into battle. The powers of the cultivators themselves were not as outstanding.

The Hungry Ghoul Path specialized in rearing all types of spiritual ghosts. The abilities of their cultivators were like the Beast Form. They were personally not as powerful as their spiritual ghosts.

But for the cultivators in the Beast Path and the Hungry Ghoul Path, due to the spiritual beasts and the spiritual ghosts, they were likely to supersede the battling powers of cultivators in the same realm.

The human cultivation relies on emotions and desires. All forms of abhijna can be birthed from there. There were mantras, illusions and many others. But then their battling powers were the weakest.

But after the human cultivators experience their cultivation in terms of their emotions and desires, their mind would be upgraded rapidly. They would also experience lesser bottlenecks in their cultivation process too. That was why it was easier for them to cultivate compared to the other mantras of the Samsara Sect. The cultivators relied on a higher form of cultivation to compensate for the shortcomings in their own mantras and powers.

The Heaven Form was always touted as the top out of the Six Paths of Samsara. In the internal dispute of the Samsara Sect, it was always the other sects who colluded to deal with the Heaven Form.

Whereas for the Netherworld Path, their main abhijna was their formations. There were many types of formations – quick but weak, slow but powerful, fixed, flexible, controlled by one person…it was like a boundless netherworld.

Lin Feng shook his head in laughter, "The various mantras and abhijnas were eclectic and flourished. However, they were used to deal with its own sect members. If the deceased elders of the Samsara Sect were to know, how will they react?"

"The Six Paths of the Samsara Sect has experienced huge progress. If the Six Paths were to combine into one, they can replace the empty seat left by the Great Thunderclap Temple after it was destroyed. Along with the Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Great Void Sect, they can be termed the new Three Great Holy Grounds."

Jun Zining shouted at Lin Feng anxiously, "Why are you still laughing. If you have an idea quickly think of it. If you do not have, then let us run!"

She felt a little regretful now for bringing Lin Feng into this mess.

To capture her alive, her opponents did not unleash all their powers. If they had used the Lightning Purgatory Formation earlier, the Liyuan Sword would also be unable to stop her. After all, the Liyuan Sword was a sword item and defending was not its strong suit.

Lin Feng smiled a little and shook his head, "No worries."

As he was saying, the purple light from the light ball above his head started to shine in a tilted direction. However, there was no sound. In the silence contained a destructive power.

Lin Feng did not even look and punched his fist forward. He directly punctured the air in the space above him. This let out a huge roaring sound.

This explosive power immediately dissipated the purple light.

The three Yang Family cultivators were stunned, "Surely not?!"

"So powerful?" Jun Zining consolidated her feelings and shouted hurriedly, "The flag, the flag is the key to breaking their formation! If you destroy one side of the flag, the entire formation will…"

Before she finished speaking, Jun Zining's voice was jammed. She opened her eyes wide and just look at Lin Feng in a daze.

She saw Lin Feng standing still suddenly. The mountain ridge below seemed to have been crushed by someone. He flew up and grabbed the light ball.

"No!" Jun Zining was so anxious until she almost went mad. She knew that the attack of the formation did not just come in one wave. This was a formation that attacked its opponents continuously until the opponents were destroyed.

Inside the light ball contained an unlimited amount of lightning spiritual energy. It was much stronger than the attacking power of just one wave of lightning.

The three Yang Family cultivators were delighted. Their moods now were in complete reverse with Jun Zining's mood. "How dare you. If you had really attacked the flag, you might have really broken the formation."

"But now, you are courting death!"

The three of them revealed a creepy laughter at the same time. Jun Zining commanded the Liyuan Sword and wanted to help Lin Feng. But following that, they saw a shocking scene.

In the air, Lin Feng's hands became claws and he directly grabbed hold of the light ball and then tore it apart!

The light ball was exploded apart and the unlimited lightning spiritual energy was dissipated and converted to streaks of lightning. But before they could react, it had already dissipated.

Lin Feng's claws destroyed the source of the Lightning Purgatory Formation in the light ball. As the light ball was destroyed, the triangular formation map pattern had also disappeared.

The three black flags on the ground were torn apart with a big hole.

The cultivators were extremely shocked and looked at Lin Feng fearfully, "Who is this guy? An Aurous Core Stage cultivator cannot destroy the Lightning Purgatory Formation so easily!"

Lin Feng looked down at Jun Zining, "Why do we have to go to so much trouble?"

Jun Zining was speechless. But following that, her expression changed. "Shit, these three flags are definitely not created by this three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators. It must be their elders. Now that it has been destroyed, they will be informed."

Lin Feng laughed, "They are here."

Before he even finished speaking, the horizon in the distance appeared a spatial crack. A figure emerged from within.

The despondent cultivators were now excited, "The grandmaster is here!"

It was a middle-aged man with a long beard. He looked at Lin Feng coldly, "So what if you are from the Celestial Sect of Wonders? I will teach you a lesson today for your seniors and elders. How dare you mess with the Yang Family? Regardless of who you are, you have to die."

As he said, he pointed a finger at Lin Feng and a formation appeared on Lin Feng's leg suddenly.

Chapter 373: Who's Teaching Who?

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The radiance of the formation flashed, but Lin Feng did not think much about it. Jun Zining had already felt a chill down her spine. Her entire body was numb and the blood in her body was almost going to be solidifed by the fear.

She screamed in her heart, "An elder in the Nascent Soul Stage! It is the Nascent Soul Stage elder from the Yang Family, Yang Xu!"

Yang Xu did not even bother about Jun Zining. All his attention was focused on Lin Feng.

The three flags were given to the younger generation of disciples by him. Lin Feng had just torn apart the power of the Lightning Purgatory Formation and the person most affected by it was Yang Xu.

"Cultivation in the Aurous Core Stage? But your powers are strong. The Celestial Sect of Wonders is weird, as they say." Yang Xu looked at Lin Feng unhappily and said coldly, "But don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are from the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

"If it was your leader present, I might still give him some face. But you are just a small fry in the Aurous Core Stage. I am going to teach you a lesson today."

As he said, Yang Xu clasped his hands together and the Icy Netherworld Formation was threatening to freeze Lin Feng to death.

He stared at Lin Feng's line of vision and unleashed a fierce expression. He unveiled his intention to kill Lin Feng. Since he had already made his move, he might as well finish Lin Feng here and not give him any chance to report any news to his sect.

But following that, everyone was stunned.

As he faced Yang Xu's powerful formation, Lin Feng smiled, "Let me teach you a lesson on behalf of your Yang Family elders."

As he said, Lin Feng lifted his fist and exhibited the Heavenly Hammer of the Eight Trigrams.

In a split second, the heavenly spiritual energy around Lin Feng was being annihilated.

The image of the Eight Trigrams – Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, Mountain and Pond were converted to light figures. According to the position of the Eight Trigrams, they surfaced around Lin Feng's fist.

The Heavens and Earth matched together, Wind and Thunder rose to life, Fire and Water blended together and the Mountain and Pond became reliant on each other.

The eight different power concepts combined in pairs and infused their powers with each other. An immense momentum was created and kept on increasing.

Following that, a tremendous power led to collapse and disintegration.

In this process of increment and endless disintegration, the power of Lin Feng's fist reached a level that left Yang Xu and the rest shocked. Although the Steel Tree Avatar only had the cultivation in the Aurous Core Stage, Lin Feng's Heavenly Hammer of the Eight Trigrams totally destroyed Yang Xu's Icy Netherworld Formation.

Jun Zining and the three Yang Family cultivators were stunned.

To them, the scene in front of them had subverted their past experience and knowledge.

Although Yang Xu had not make use of geography or any magic treasures and used only his pure powers, the creation of his formation unleashed powers that were awe-inspiring. As it tapped on heavenly powers, a rare and outstanding mantra and abhijna was formed.

Yang Xu was an elder in the Nascent Soul Stage. His opponent now was obviously in the Aurous Core Stage. Following Jun Zining's and the rest of the cultivator's predictions, this battle was finished even before it started.

But who knew that the final result was Lin Feng destroying Yang Xu's formation. This was indeed a shocking result.

Even Yang Xu was stunned himself. As he looked at Lin Feng again, his expression became more serious than before. "Who are you exactly? There have been rumors that the Celestial Sect of Wonders had a lot of freaks and that they were invincible in their same realm. Furthermore, there were also rumors that their Aurous Core Stage cultivators can defeat a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator."

"I had initally thought it was a rumor. Who knew that it was actually real?"

Lin Feng looked at Yang Xu and thought, "Who knew that you can still act like you are inexperienced till this day."

Yang Xu became fully serious now. He scanned the surroundings, "The geographical conditions are not prime, thus the full effect of the formation could not be achieved. But at least eighty percent of its power should have been unleashed."

He swiped his hand suddenly and a streak of white light appeared in space. It was then converted to a huge door made up entirely of ice.

At the same time, the spell in Yang Xu's hand converted his mana to heavy snow and caused Mount Kunlun and its surroundings to be covered in ice. A huge and extreme formation map surfaced on the ground.

"Hell of Ice Formation, the Door of the Hell of Ice, open!"

In space, Yang Xu's Door of the Hell of Ice started to open slowly. From within, gusts of chilly wind started to blow out from it. On the other side of the door, there was a hell that looked to be made entirely out of ice and snow. It exuded a deathly aura.

Looking in from outside, it was very dark. There was only a flickering dark light, that seemed to be bits and pieces of an ice sculpture.

Whoever stepped into this hell only ended up with one result. It was that their flesh to their soul would be frozen and they were converted to ice sculptures. They were unable to reincarnate and they would sleep in the depths of the Hell of Ice.

When the door opened, Lin Feng felt that the space covered by the formation was being twisted. The door and the formation seemed to combine into one entity and wanted to drag everyone within the boundary into the Hell of Ice.

Yang Xu had also disappeared, as if his entire body had blended in to the formation.

"This formation looks more powerful." Lin Feng laughed. "But it is a pity that I have no patience to watch anymore."

Lin Feng lifted his hand and released a streak of Purple Clouds. It was converted to a Celestial Small World and masked Jun Zining within it. Otherwise, she would have been frozen to death.

After Jun Zining was masked by the Purple Clouds, she was worried initially, "The Hell of Ice Formation is one of the powerful formations of the Yang Family. Although it is not used in an icy environment, Yang Xu exhibited the formation with his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation. Furthremore, with the assistance of his Nascent Soul Stage magic item, he has the ability to descend this place into a hell of ice."

"This person seems to have created a small world, but how is it able to resist the Hell of Ice?"

She was worried, but after a few moments, she realized the stability of the Celestial Small Worlds had not changed. It was not even affected by the Hell of Ice. This left Jun Zining shocked, "Was everyone wrong? Is this person not of an Aurous Core Stage cultivation?"

Lin Feng's Steel Tree Avatar was indeed in the cultivation of the Aurous Core Stage. But by the virtue of his mantras and abhijna, his Nascent Soul Stage opponent was nothing to be worried about.

But his Steel Tree Avatar and his Avatar of Ares was the same. Their strengths did not lie in their mantras. If he purely used that to fight Yang Xu, he would be fighting Yang Xu's strengths with his weaknesses.

Although Lin Feng's Steel of Tree Avatar could inherit the comprehension of the wondrosity of time and space, it still lacked the practical experience of the Void Lightning Tribulations. Therefore, the comprehension was still incomplete.

Furthermore, the strength of the Steel of Tree Avatar was the strength and toughness of its flesh. Without using his flesh to resist the Lightning Tribulations would signify the lack of an experience.

"I could use you to test the new abhijna that I have just comprehended."

Lin Feng laughed in his heart. The entire body of his Steel Tree Avatar was surging with energy and all his acupoints began to tremble. His entire body was flashing with a layer of dark radiance.

As Yang Xu watched this scene, he was a little terrified. He felt a sense of danger rushing up his head.

Before he could even react, Lin Feng's figure flashed across and his entire body disappeared into space.

"Boom!"

When Lin Feng appeared again, a thunderous sound echoed in space. Following that, a bright and scorching sun rose again!

As if it was dawn, all darkness was immediately removed. However, it gave little hope to everyone. But all the fear and desolation had disappeared.

Disaster, Bad Omen, Destruction, Death!

The scorching sun left everyone shunning away from it. It was as if taking a look at it directly would cause one to be blinded.

Only Yang Xu could clearly see the appearance of the sun. It was a human fist, an iron fist that was burning with a golden flame!

Lin Feng was standing at the side of the Hell of Ice and his right hand made a fist in a weird position.

The closer it was from the Hell of Ice, the colder it was. Lin Feng was almost frozen by the frost, but before it could get nearer to him, it was already melted by Lin Feng's fist.

"Four Appearances Heaven Cleaving Script. Fire. Fist of the Great Heavenly Sun!"

As Yang Xu looked over, Lin Feng used his fist to punch the door of the Hell of Ice. It was immediately broken into many pieces and was descending on the ground.

But before the broken ice pieces could even land on the ground, they were melted by the ferocious heat in mid-space. Rain was descending in the mountain valley instead.

The Hell of Ice was destroyed by Lin Feng's fist!

Lin Feng remained in space and his fist was lifted up. The darkness in the place was replaced by light and the surrounding air was steaming. The place seemed to transformed into a desert instantaneously.

Lin Feng did not stop. After clenching his Fist of the Great Heavenly Sun, he continued to batter the remaining sections of the Hell of Ice without mercy.

Yang Xu screamed in horror and the radiance above his head flickered. Ever since he reached the Nascent Soul Stage, he never thought that he would actually be forced into such a stage by an Aurous Core Stage cultivator.

The essence of his Nascent Soul was invested into the Hell of Ice. With a boom, the half-remaining door of the Hell of Ice opened and destructive gas along with gusts of chilly wind surged out from it.

For a moment, it was as if the hell and the mortal world was connected.

The sun that Lin Feng was holding in his hand collided with the power of the Hell of Ice that was twisting time and space, causing both of them to be dissipated.

The place was filled with the fragmented pieces of ice, converting it to a snowy land.

And the scorching sun was finally destroyed in this battle and was converted to a boundless sea of fire. It engulfed the entire horizon.

Mount Kunlun was converted into a weird place at this moment. The upper half of it was filled with golden fire while the lower half was snowy white. The two sides were clearly separated and it seemed as if the end of the world had arrived.

As Yang Xu grimaced, his Nascent Soul was sent flying out of the Hell of Ice. He did not even hesitate and quickly retrieved it back into his body. He looked in the sky while opening his mouth wide, swallowing the battered Hell of Ice into his mouth. He wanted to escape without even looking back.

Under the protection of the Celestial Small Worlds, Jun Zining was able to avoid the dangers. But the repercussions of the collision that happened previously caused the Celestial Small Worlds to be damaged a little.

She looked at the sky in a daze. The sea of fire separated and a figure emerged from within. It was Lin Feng's Steel Tree Avatar.

Lin Feng looked at Yang Xu escaping and laughed, "It is too late to leave."

Chapter 374: I Have Seen the Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

As Lin Feng looked at Yang Xu who was trying to escape, he laughed slightly and clenched his right fist to form the Fist of the Great Heavenly Sun. Scorching flames began to arise from his fist and they were converted to a bright sun that rose again. The radiance was blinding.

In the next moment, Lin Feng punched his fist into space. Space was twisted and Yang Xu was stuck in the gap between two worlds. He spat out blood and was thrown back into this world. He looked at Lin Feng with an aghast expression.

"Not only is his power strong, he has also comprehended the secret of time and space fully. Are the people who come from the Celestial Sect of Wonders all freaks?"

Yang Xu opened his mouth wide and spat out the battered Hell of Ice. After that, he continued to spit out blood. However, he spat it at the Hell of Ice this time.

At the same time, his Nascent Soul emerged and released a gas of essence which landed on the door of the Hell of Ice. Under this multi-pronged approach, the Hell of Ice regained its radiance and some life.

But this scene was forever etched in Jun Zining's mind, as she became more shocked by Lin Feng's powers.

"Yang Xu is fighting his life out." Jun Zining's mouth opened slightly and she revealed a shocked expression, "Someone in the Aurous Core Stage can force a Nascent Soul Stage elder into such a predicament. Furthermore, he himself seems to be having fun!"

Yang Xu looked at Lin Feng desolately, "Who are you? With your cultivation, you can't be a nobody. Among the six disciples of the leader, which one are you?"

Lin Feng continued to look at Yang Xu curiously. He laughed suddenly, "For a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator like yourself, you will not waste so much time on gibberish when battling someone. For you to be speaking so much, you must be delaying time and waiting for someone to reinforce you?"

Although Yang Xu's expression did not change, he became silent and did not open his mouth. His ploy was uncovered by Lin Feng.

Jun Zining was stunned and shouted at Lin Feng anxiously, "There are two Nascent Soul Stage elders from the Yang Family coming to Mount Kunlun. He must be waiting for the other elder!"

"Don't worry, he can't wait anymore." Lin Feng shook his head and lifted his hand to draw a light circle. Inside the circle, there was a small glimpse of light and the image became an illusion.

After the image in the light circle stabilized, Yang Xu saw it and he turned even more ghastly.

Jun Zining looked over curiously and screamed in shock suddenly.

In the image, the sky was filled with sand, causing that world to be dyed black and yellow.

An elder in a black robe and a fierce look was sitting on his knees in front of a huge door. Above his head was a light figure of an infant. The Nascent Soul had been formed and was emerging.

From behind the doors, unlimited black sand started to fly out. Each and every grain of sand contained a frightening destructive power. For a normal person, one grain of sand was enough to kill them through its destructive powers.

One's soul would also be restricted by the black sand and followed by a burial in the boundless hell behind the doors.

It was different from Yang Xu's Hell of Ice. The formation of this elder in black was the Black Sand Hell.

He used his Nascent Soul Stage item, Door of the Sand Hell, to partner with the Black Sand Hell formation. He wanted to drag time and space into the Black Sand Hell.

...At least he wanted to do that initially.

But now, he could only watch in frustration. The black sand surging out from the Sand Hell was unable to be spread and they were knocked back into the door immediately.

Yellow sand was floating in mid-space and caused the elder in black and the Black Sand Hell to be surrounded. Not only was it indestructible, the yellow sand continued to shrink towards the center, causing pressure. No matter how ferocious the black sand was, it could only retreat now.

A youth in white robe sat on his knees above the clouds quietly. It was a breezy weather up there, but below him was a patch of yellow. The elder in black was struggling in this world.

Yang Xu could only watch as the yellow sand surrounded him even tighter, while his compatriots could only retreat.

The youth in white looked below him calmly. He lifted the both of his hands and used them to conjure two spells.

The two spells combined in front of his chest. Although it looked thin and small, a highly cultivated current was descending on the patch of yellow sand.

The cultivated water and the boundless sand combined, causing the yellow sand to become extremely heavy, converting it into a boundless sea of sand. It continued to put pressure on the elder in black.

The elder in black was like a little boat in a huge tsunami. He wanted to struggle but was easily overcame.

Yang Xu and Jun Zining looked at this scene in a daze. They witnessed the elder in black and his Sand of Hell being devoured by the boundless sea of sand. Nothing could emerge out from it.

After a long while, the sand stopped its movement and was converted into a huge sand ball in mid-space.

There was a frightening vibration of mana coming from the sand ball, as if it wanted to escape from there.

Jun Zining could not help but feel worried. Yang Xu felt extremely disappointed as he could see that the elder in black was unable to escape and was trying to destroy his own Nascent Soul instead of being captured alive.

The youth in white looked at the turbulent sand ball and extended his hand to conjure a spell. After that, he used it to shake the sand ball.

There was a sudden movement of the sand ball and the frightening power burst out. It was exerting pressure towards the internal section of the sand ball.

This pressure would render the destruction of the other party's Nascent Soul to no avail. The power released from the destruction would be crushed by the immense power within the sand ball.

"I have no intention to kill you. My master would decide what to do with you." The youth in the white robe was Kang Nanhua. He said, "The destruction of your Nascent Soul would not help to defeat me but only lead to your own death."

The resistance within the sand ball became weaker and weaker and revealed a slump in energy.

Yang Xu's energy had also plummeted and he had lost all mind to resist. A charming but reckless youth in a purple robe appeared beside Lin Feng.

After handing the two Nascent Soul Stage elders to Kang Nanhua and Miao Shihao to settle, Lin Feng's attention returned to Jun Zining.

"Did you say that you are from the Purple Clouds Sect?"

After hearing Lin Feng's question, Jun Zining's body trembled. As she looked at Lin Feng, she was a little fearful.

"If he knows that I used him as a shield, he might be angry and I might get into big trouble." Jun Zining rolled her eyes and coughed, "Senior…No, elder, I am not the Immediate Disciple of the Purple Clouds Sect, but the cultivation methods of my family follow a long history with the Purple Clouds Sect. I can…erm, be considered half a disciple of the Purple Clouds Sect."

She waved her hands at Lin Feng, "This elder looks very unfamiliar. I have not seen you at the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai."

Lin Feng looked at her, "You went to the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai?"

She did not participate in the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, but she was very familiar with Li Kuiyin, a disciple of the Purple Clouds Sect. Li Kuiyin dotes on her quite a fair bit. When they met some time ago, she had mentioned about the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai.

She calmed her nerves and answered, "I have participated before. But since my cultivation is low, I have always been a spectator. But the grace of the various elders of the Celestial Sect is fresh in my memory."

She was trying to recall every single detail that Li Kuiyin mentioned to her. From Yue Hongyan's duel with the dual pairing of the Sun Moon Sword to Wang Lin's close battle with Dao Yuting to the fight between Zhu Yi and Jiao Junchen to Xiao Budian's charge towards the final, she was trying to remember all that she was told.

Finally, she could not forget the epic duel between Zhu Yi and Xiao Budian.

"The more I say, the more I feel that the Celestial Sect of Wonders is powerful." Jun Zining said and started to drift off. At the end, she was very excited.

"I had also followed Li Kuiyin to pay my respects to the various Celestial Sect of Wonders' elders." At the end, Jun Zining could not help but say, "I have even met the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders!"

After she said it, she was a little regretful, "Oh no, I think I have boasted too much."

She stole a glance at Lin Feng, "He had just defeated Yang Xu and seemed to infuse the power concept of the Grand Sun Primordial Fire, only that it was more powerful and that all the fire in the world seemed to be under his control."

"During the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, the only disciple that did not participate was the most senior disciple, Xiao Yan. I heard that Xiao Yan is also in the Aurous Core Stage and he holds the power of two Primordial Fires. Is he Xiao Yan?"

Jun Zining asked carefully, "I have not enquired your name. Are you Xiao Yan?"

Before she even finished speaking, there was a sudden image change in the light figure. She felt giddy and when she regained her stability, she was already inside a grand pavilion.

On the main seat in the pavilion, there was a youth in a purple robe seated on it. He seemed to be one with the pavilion, which was broad and vast like the universe.

Just as Jun Zining was confused, the youth in purple robe laughed slightly, "Besides my Celestial Sect of Wonders that participated in the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, there were a total of 487 people, regardless of their cultivation. Why do I not remember you being there?"

Jun Zining opened her mouth wide and looked at the youth in purple robe in a daze. After a few moments, she regained her awareness and stammered, "You…you are…"

He laughed, "I am the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Lin Feng."

Jun Zining looked at Lin Feng and could not speak. She trembled and wanted to say something, but she fainted suddenly.

Lin Feng laughed, "You are really a kid. Trying to act like you fainted?"

A streak of Purple Clouds supported Jun Zining. Before she could even react, her body turned numb, as if there were many thin needles poking her.

She was shocked and quickly stood upright. Her face revealed a guilty expression and she begged for forgiveness, "Please forgive me."

She wanted to slap herself, "Fool, when can you control what you say? I am in deep trouble now, goodness!"

Chapter 375: Self-Invitation

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng looked at Jun Zining calmly, "Are you from the Jun Family in the Ancient Yuantian World?"

Jun Zining nodded her head and looked at Lin Feng cautiously. After seeing that Lin Feng was not angry and was friendly, she heaved a sigh of relief.

"My name is Jun Zining. I am from the Jun Family." Jun Zining answered truthfully. "But I can also really be considered half a Purple Clouds Sect disciple. I am different from the rest in my family. I once trained at the Purple Clouds Sect for a year."

Lin Feng looked at her and asked slowly, "From what I know, the Yang Family and the Luo Family are arch-enemies. Although they are not friendly with the Jun Family, they do not bother you normally. But why were they giving you problems just now?"

Jun Zining replied hurriedly, "And I had to ask you for help."

"I came with a companion to the Divine Lands for leisure purposes. On the way, we met with an attack from the Yang Family cultivators and we got lost from each other. She is now seriously injured now and her life is in danger. Please take mercy on her and save her."

Lin Feng asked, "She is from the Luo Family?"

Jun Zining nodded her head repeatedly, "Yes, her name is Luo Qingwu. I have known her since I was young. Oh, talking about that, she followed me for a stroll this time but did not want to be attacked by the Yang Family."

Lin Feng nodded his head. If she did not follow Jun Zining to the Divine Lands, Luo Qingwu would not have met with such a difficulty. And if Luo Qingwu did not draw the attention of the Yang Family, Jun Zining would not have been attacked too. It was unclear who had burdened who.

From Jun Zining's description, Lin Feng knew that although the Luo Family had the protection of a Nascent Soul Stage elder, he was unable to resist the attack of two Nascent Soul Stage elders from the Yang Family. Because of his carelessness, Yang Xu could hurt Luo Qingwu.

After the both of them had lost contact, Jun Zining relied on the Great Teleportation Talisman to escape. But she was eventually hunted down by the Yang Family, as she had set a rendezvous point with Luo Qingwu before they lost contact with each other.

Lin Feng raised his brows and thought, "From what she says about Luo Qingwu being close to her since young, I can tell that she treats her as her younger sister. Luo Qingwu must be younger than her."

"Why is the Yang Family so concerned about such a small girl? Furthermore, for a small girl like her, why is she fine after fighting Yang Xu? With his prowess, he could have easily crushed her. There are a lot of suspicious points here."

Lin Feng looked at Jun Zining and asked, "For Luo Qingwu, the Yang Family activated two Nascent Soul Stage elders to kill her?"

Jun Zining shook her head, "Qingwu is only part of the reason. The other part of the reason was because they wanted to kill the Sixth Grandmaster of the Luo Family, who was protecting us."

"This is more credible." Lin Feng nodded his head slightly. From what he learnt from Jieyu, the 7 families in the Ancient Yuantian World were highly skilled. All of them had a Nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster to hold the fort.

But for a Middle World such as the Ancient Yuantian World, there was a big problem. There were no Void Lightning Tribulations. As a result, when the Aurous Core Stage cultivators were about to form the Nascent Soul, they would meet with an obstacle. They had no choice but to travel across the time tunnel into the Divine Lands to overcome the Lightning Tribulations.

This was also a main method used by the great powers in the Divine Lands to restrict the Ancient Yuantian World.

The direct result was that the number of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the Ancient Yuantian World was very little. Regardless of whatever aristocratic family, losing a Nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster was a very disastrous thing.

For the Yang Family, it was the perfect opportunity to kill Luo Dan, the Nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster that was escorting Luo Qingwu and Jun Zining.

However, Luo Qingwu was also a main target.

"It's also a widely known matter in the Ancient Yuantain World, it should be fine to say it out, shouldn't it?" Jun Zining hesitated for a moment and said, "They wanted to kill the Sixth Grandmaster of the Luo Family and use the chance to get rid of Qingwu. She has an innate talent. Since she was born, her body contained a piece of the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl."

Lin Feng was really curious now, "Oh? The Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl?"

After checking with the system, Lin Feng found out that the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl was like Xiao Budian's Supreme Spiritual Altar. It was birthed and bred in the Heavens and was a spiritual item that was innate within a human's body.

This pearl naturally gathered the purest Xuanyin air around its owner's surroundings to nourish the owner. This enabled the owner to cultivate Yin type mantras very easily and with higher efficiency than a normal person. It was only second to a pure Yin body and was the second most powerful substance to cultivate Yin type mantras.

Although a person who possessed the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl was not innately in the intermediate stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage like Xiao Budian's Supreme Spiritual Altar, he could use the pearl as its core to form the spiritual altar in the future when he was trying to create an aura sea. A first-grade spiritual altar would be formed with hundred percent certainty.

From previous accounts of the accumulation of Xuanyin air by the pearl and the owner's Determination and Intelligence, there was a possibility to even reach a Supreme Spiritual Altar.

With such an Innate Ability, it was unbelievable.

A hundred percent first-grade spiritual altar signified a hundred percent first-grade crucible. In the future, with the support of the elders and with nothing going wrong, it was almost certain to form a Purple Pill.

Forming a Purple Pill from the Aurous Core was succeeded by the Tribulations of the Yin Fire and the Yin Wind and then the Void Lightning Tribulations. If one's Determination and Intelligence could follow with the cultivation and there was support from the elders, Luo Qingwu would reach the Nascent Soul Stage.

The stronger the foundation, the smoother the path in the future. With Luo Qingwu's talent, she would be well taken care by the Luo Family. Every step she took would be stable. After she forms the Nascent Soul, she would still have unlimited potential to be unearthed.

Although she was a girl, she would become the future pillar of the Luo Family if she did not die early.

And if the Yang Family had such an opportunity to kill her, they would not let it go.

Lin Feng nodded his head slightly and thought of something suddenly. He asked Jun Zining unintentionally, "To survive under the hands of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, what is the cultivation of Luo Qingwu now?"

Jun Zining was worried and only hoped that Lin Feng would save her now. Whatever Lin Feng asked her, she replied immediately, "She is only 9 years old now and she is in the 8th level in the Qi Cultivation Stage."

Lin Feng followed with, "How long has she cultivated for? What about you?"

Jun Zining gave Lin Feng a weird look, but still answered honestly, "She has cultivated for 2 years. I started a little late. I am only in my 3rd year."

Lin Feng calculated quickly. From this, he could tell that Luo Qingwu's other talents were not lacking compared to her Innate Talent.

It was obvious from a parallel comparison. Xiao Yan started when he was 8. At 12, he finished the Qi Cultivation Stage, causing a huge uproar, even catching the attention of the Great Void Sect.

Jun Zining was in the 11th level of the Qi Cultivation Stage. To reach there in 3 years meant that she was not that far from Xiao Yan.

She was not as talented as him, but the material treatments she had received and the quality of her cultivation was much better than Xiao Yan. Hence, their speed was nearly the same.

When the material conditions were different, there was bound to be a huge influence. Xiao Zhener had already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage at this age.

Whereas for Luo Qingwu, to reach the 8th level of the Qi Cultivation Stage in 2 years, it meant that she was faster than Jun Zining and Xiao Yan by a little.

From Jun Zining's tone, Lin Feng could tell that she was very pampered in the Jun Family. She was even sent to the Purple Clouds Sect for a year. It meant that the resources she possessed was roughly the same as Luo Qingwu.

From this perspective, Luo Qingwu's talent was above Jun Zining.

The total score of Jun Zining's four statistics were 28. Luo Qingwu's statistics were bound to be even higher.

"Will it reach 30?" Lin Feng thought in his head. If it reaches 30, she fulfils the criteria to be his Immediate Disciple.

It was rare to reach 30 and one could be considered a freak to be that standard. Even in the Great Void Sect, where the talents gathered, it was a rare sight.

In a normal sect or family, for someone to reach that standard, he would be touted as their future pillar. They could even enable them to achieve significant progress and find their footing in a greater stage.

At this point, Lin Feng decided. He could not let this person go easily. Furthermore, she was in trouble. There was no better opportunity.

But she was from the Luo Family, a distinguished family in the field of cultivation. She was pampered since young, hence she would be extremely attached to her family. Even if he accepted her as a disciple, it would be difficult to keep her here.

If someone exerted his influence on her through the Luo Family, it would be disadvantageous to the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Lin Feng would be shooting his own foot then.

Lin Feng would not ask her to betray her family to be with the Celestial Sect of Wonders. But he would at least want her to be neutral in her support towards both sides.

"There are still many things to be planned." Lin Feng thought. "After meeting her, let me assess the situation before making a decision."

Jun Zining looked at Lin Feng uncomfortably, as if she was waiting on her fate. She did not dare to rush or plead anymore, as she did not want him to feel annoyed.

"If it was not possible, try contacting the elders of the Purple Clouds Sect. But I am afraid this will delay the time."

Jun Zining was thinking of what to do until she saw Lin Feng looking over.

Lin Feng said, "Forget it, since we are destined to meet, let me give you a hand."

Jun Zining was elated and wanted to tell Lin Feng about the destination hurriedly. Lin Feng laughed while shaking his head, "There is no need to."

He expanded his supernatural awareness to the extremes and crossed time and space to examine the mountains within Mount Kunlun.

After doing a vast search across the area, he did not find anything. He then controlled Mount Yujing to shift time and space again and did a blanket search. After searching a few areas, he made a discovery.

It was a gravely injured Nascent Soul Stage cultivator who was moving with a lady in red with difficulty. The lady was also gravely injured and her life was on the line.

Lin Feng was a little surprised that Liang Gan and Chu Yang was also in the area. Compared to when he was at Mount Yujing, Liang Gan's entourage was now much larger than before.

They were resting at the moment and Chu Yang drifted from the big group for some reason. He was finding something worriedly.

Chapter 376: An Irresponsible Pedophile

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng used his supernatural awareness to scan the surroundings and discovered that the lady in red was gravely injured.

But he could confirm that this lady was Luo Qingwu. Lin Feng could feel the presence of the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl in her body.

It was just that the pearl was on the verge of being crushed, which left Lin Feng worried. The surface of the pearl was filled with cracks and it was very dim. The Xuanyin spiritual energy inside it was almost all dissipated.

Furthermore, due to the damaged pearl, Luo Qingwu's mana was also slowly depleting.

"It seems like this is the effect of the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl. It helped her to counter Yang Xu's powers, otherwise she would have been dead by now." Lin Feng sighed and whipped out his Talent Analysis Device to find out Luo Qingwu's four statistics.

"Innate Ability – 9; Intelligence – 8; Determination – 7; Fortune -6."

Lin Feng nodded his head, "As expected, the total is 30. If she did not meet with such a disaster, she will be extraordinary. It is a pity that only a living talent is a real talent and who is able to turn potential into real power."

On the Talent Analysis Device, Luo Qingwu's Innate Ability started to flash continuously. For a moment, it became 5 points. In the next moment, it became 9 points.

Lin Feng knew that if the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl was crushed, Luo Qingwu's Innate Ability would drop significantly.

This was different from when Xiao Budian unearthed the Supreme Spiritual Altar. Without it, he was still able to form the first-grade spiritual altar with his own cultivation. Eventually, he managed to cultivate the first-grade crucible and form the Purple Pill.

Without the Supreme Spiritual Altar, Xiao Budian's Innate Ability was unbelievably high.

"But it was his destiny. Not many people will experience that." Lin Feng shook his head and his brows creased, "If it was just a physical injury or a damaged soul, it is still manageable. But the pearl is almost crushed now. It will be very difficult to overcome this problem."

Besides Luo Qingwu and the injured Nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster, Lin Feng also realized that Chu Yang had drift off from Liang Gan's group and he was finding something.

The current Chu Yang was different from the one at Mount Yujing.

In the past, although he looked very naïve, his gaze seemed to reveal the vicissitudes of life. When Lin Feng looked into his eyes, it was as if he saw a person who had experienced all the ups and downs in life.

But the current Chu Yang looked very anxious. His worried psychological state carried a hint of expectations and happiness.

Lin Feng could even tell that he was blaming himself, regretful and angry from his eyes.

Such a confused psychological state, coupled with Chu Yang's lost behavior, made Lin Feng extremely curious.

He also realized that Chu Yang was chanting something. As he listened more carefully, it was all broken intermittent phrases.

"Must not get into trouble…must not…must not get into trouble, Qingwu, Qingwu, Qingwu…" Chu Yang was walking along the mountain and looking in all directions, "The red cloth material that I saw earlier can only be found in the Ancient Yuantian World."

"That is her favorite color. I will never forget, never forget!" Chu Yang was extremely worried at this point. "Qingwu, Qingwu, my greatest love, where are you? You must not get into any trouble!"

Lin Feng was shocked.

"Don't tell me…he is referring to the same person?" Lin Feng was in a daze and his vision shifted between Chu Yang and Luo Qingwu.

As he looked at Chu Yang who seemed to be searching for his wife and then the lady in red who had not even fully matured, Lin Feng felt uncomfortable.

"Looking at your decent appearance, although you are not old, but you are at least a man. Turns out you are actually a weird uncle, a pedophile?" Lin Feng breathed in and stared at Chu Yang. "Why did I not tell that you have such a preference previously?"

"Yes, I admit that she may not be very old and she may not have matured fully, but she is already a beauty. However, aren't you too desperate already?"

Chu Yang did not even know that he was being cursed by Lin Feng.

When he was moving with Liang Gan and his subordinates, he found the red cloth material in the mountains. At that point, it was as if he was struck by lightning, as he knew that the cloth material was a specialty from the Ancient Yuantian World. Furthermore, the color was the favorite of his crush.

For the past few days, all he could dream about was the unforgettable figure in red.

For Chu Yang, everything could be unreal, but that unforgettable feeling that he had supported him and let him believe that that was the future reality and not just an illusion.

"It must be Qingwu. The time and place matches. I have been trying to figure out the specific location, but it seems like she is very near to me. I must find her, help her and save her."

As he heard Chu Yang's words, Lin Feng was worried. "This does not seem right. From what he said, I can tell that he knows that Qingwu had been attacked. Unless they knew each other from before?"

Lin Feng observed Chu Yang carefully and realized the passion in his eyes. It looked very real and could only be felt by someone who had really experienced a tough relationship.

"But, there is a strong feeling of regret and desire to atone for his mistakes?" Lin Feng pondered, "Damn it, not only is he a pedophile, don't tell me he had hurt her before?"

"You dare to lay your hands on a little girl and even shirk responsibility for your actions. Are you even a person?"

Lin Feng looked at Chu Yang in contempt, before his gaze shifted to Luo Qingwu. He felt pitiful for her, "Nowadays, do young girls have such rich relationship experiences?"

"Lucky you have not been violated by that pedophile, otherwise you will suffer from psychological hurt."

Lin Feng sighed and swiped his hand. A streak of Purple Clouds descended, causing Luo Qingwu and the Nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster to be engulfed.

The Luo Family Sixth Grandmaster was an elder with white hair. Although he was injured, he was still very alert. When he was engulfed by Lin Feng's mana, he tried to resist although he was not in the shape to.

"I am the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Lin Feng. I am helping a comrade, Jun Zining, to come and assist the both of you." Lin Feng said softly. The elder did not become less wary as he did not know whether Lin Feng was a friend or a foe.

But he had heard of Lin Feng's name and knew that resisting it was not a good option. He just hugged Luo Qingwu tight and was silent.

Lin Feng did not intend to separate him and Luo Qingwu. He just escorted the both of them to Mount Yujing.

Before he left, he turned around and looked at Chu Yang. He continued to sigh. He then consolidated his mana and drew a Great Teleportation Talisman in space before exploding it.

After finishing all these, Lin Feng disappeared into space.

After feeling the effects of the Great Teleportation Talisman, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator beside Liang Gan rushed over and found Chu Yang.

Chu Yang calmed his nerves and came up with a rhetoric. The Nascent Soul Stage cultivator brought him to the scene quickly.

"In the end…did I miss her by a bit?" Chu Yang was a little regretful, but he felt relieved. "For the Great Teleportation Talisman to be used, does it mean that she is safe?"

Luo Qingwu was indeed safe. Although she was gravely injured, Lin Feng's protection of her using his mana meant that she was fine for now.

What gave Lin Feng a headache was the damaged Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl in Luo Qingwu's body. It was very difficult to fix it.

It was different from a broken Aurous Core. The Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl was birthed from the heavens. Although the Heavens-Patching Vine was useful in mending all sorts of flaws, it was useless for such a heavenly item.

After seeing that Lin Feng saved Luo Qingwu and Jun Zining on Mount Yujing, the white-haired elder was relieved.

As he relaxed, the injury that he had been repressing started to act up. Fortunately, Lin Feng was beside him. Lin Feng used his fingers to summon the Purple Clouds to engulf the elder. There was a jade-green radiance flashing inside the Purple Clouds. Under the influence of the Purple Clouds, the Grand Moon Primordial Water was treating the elder's flesh and soul.

After a while, the condition of the elder stabilized. Although he was in the Nascent Soul Stage, the ambush and subsequent care for Luo Qingwu caused his body to become extremely weak.

The elder bowed towards Lin Feng, "Luo Chi from the Luo Family thank you for your benefaction."

Lin Feng waved his hands, "Please stand on ceremony."

Luo Chi looked at Luo Qingwu worryingly and asked, "Master Lin, how is my grandniece?"

Luo Chi did not have any male descendants. Among all the descendants in the family, he doted on Luo Qingwu the most, although she was a little weird.

Logically speaking, if Yang Xu and the other Nascent Soul Stage cultivator attacked him, Luo Chi might be unable to cope with them. But if he wanted to escape, he was still able to.

But things happened too quickly. When he was ambushed, he was not with Luo Qingwu or Jun Zining. To save the two ladies, he was compromised and was hurt in the first instance.

When he escaped danger, the first thing he was worried about was Luo Qingwu's condition and safety.

Lin Feng looked at him before looking at Jun Zining. He then asked appropriately, "Both your body and soul were compromised, but with my treatment, there shouldn't be much problem anymore."

"However, the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl in her body is on the verge of crushing."

After hearing this, both Luo Chi and Jun Zining were stunned. Luo Chi screamed in horror. He did not even care Lin Feng was beside him and leaped towards Luo Qingwu hurriedly to check on her.

Lin Feng retracted his mana to allow Luo Chi to check on her. After a few moments, Luo Chi revealed a ghastly expression, "Oh no, it is going to be crushed…"

Jun Zining's lips were shivering and she was on the brink of tears.

Chapter 377: Solution

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Both Luo Chi and Jun Zining were extremely down, as they knew what losing the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl meant for Luo Qingwu.

Especially Jun Zining, as she held her head with her arms and a voice screamed in her head. "I am the one who caused Qingwu to be in this state. If she did not follow me out, she will not have met with such a disaster. Without the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl, will she in the same situation as me?"

As Lin Feng looked at Jun Zining and Luo Chi, he knew why they were so desolate.

In a cultivation family, the disciples enjoy the resources and benefits brought about by a family environment. They had to accept the responsibility, for instance, their marriage would often be for some kind of benefit.

In terms of this, it was the same for both males and females. Although the freedom of choice was higher for men, it was also limited.

In a world of cultivation where power was the most important, the higher one power was, the more freedom of choice he had.

For example, if Xiao Yan was returned to the Xiao Family in Wuzhou County, no one dared to touch him in terms of marriage.

It was fine if one was not powerful yet. If they possessed sufficient potential, there would be a similar effect. Luo Qingwu was one of them.

But now that the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl was about to be crushed and the light circle above her head had disappeared, she was unsure of what was going to happen to her.

Although Luo Chi, her parents and her close relatives were still going to dote on her, she might still receive pressure from the rest of the family to observe the rules.

On the contrary, this was rare in a sect, although it still existed. Murong Yanran was an example.

Lin Feng was neither agreeable or disagreeable with this form of practice. There was no right or wrong in this instance. It was only which side one stood on.

He was pondering over how he could preserve Luo Qingwu's Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl and prevent it from being damaged.

Lin Feng felt that it was a pity for someone of such a high potential to lose her abilities just like that.

"The Heavens-Patching Vine and the Grand Moon Primordial Water was useless. Even the Purple Clouds was useless…" Lin Feng kept on thinking and he had an idea suddenly, but it was unclear.

Lin Feng thought, "Is there anything useful in the system?"

"Oh? Wait, the system…the system!" An idea flashed across his head. "How could I forget this?"

Lin Feng whipped out a greyish-white spiritual stone that was three inches in diameter and one inch thick.

From its outer appearance, it looked normal. From within, it did not have a strong spiritual energy vibration. It seemed like a very ordinary stone.

In truth, this was an embryo of a magic treasure that Lin Feng had won in a lucky draw from the system. Its name was the Soul Creator Seal.

Its appearance was very smooth and there seemed to be no flaws. But there were also no patterns or maps on it. The greyish-white appearance revealed a purple radiance. There was nothing attention-seeking about it.

But if one looked into it using his supernatural awareness, he could immediately feel boundless life within it, as if a new universe was being nurtured.

It was the power concept of life.

Lin Feng looked at the Soul Creator Seal and entered into deep thought, "The power concept of this item includes both the image of afterlife and the power of creation. If I can summon its inner power, I can heal Luo Qingwu's Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl.

The problem of this embryo was that its miraculous effects could only be enjoyed if it was cultivated into a magic treasure.

After pondering for a moment, he reasoned it out.

"I wanted to cultivate this magic treasure and used it within the Two Elements of Creation Formation as one of the two cores of the 'Changes of Life and Death'. Now it seems like I can expedite this plan."

Although it cannot be cultivated into a magic treasure and its potential fully realized, I still believe it can bring about a huge impact.

The Dual Polarity Flower that Lin Feng won from Cao Wei was not only used for helping his disciples cultivate, but he was also planning to use it to cultivate the Soul Creator Seal.

With the help of the Dual Polarity Flower, along with the 'Changes of Life and Death' of the Two Elements of Creation Formation, it was possible to extract a part of the power of the Soul Creator Seal.

In this way, the pearl in Luo Qingwu's could be stabilized and even be mended.

If the Soul Creator Seal could be cultivated into a magic treasure, then he was confident in restoring the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl.

But a lot of preparation and practice had to be in place. Was Luo Qingwu able to wait?

Under the care of Lin Feng and Luo Chi, she had woken up. As she saw Luo Chi and Jun Zining, her lips shivered and she started to tear.

"Sixth Grandmaster, Sister Zining…"

Luo Chi and Jun Zining surrounded her. They both had a heavy heart, but they forced themselves to smile.

"Qingwu, this is the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Master Lin. He was the one who helped us. Thank him for his graciousness." As Luo Chi saw her condition stabilizing, he urged her to thank Lin Feng.

Under Lin Feng's treatment, Luo Qingwu's external wounds had stabilized. She stood up and bowed towards Lin Feng, "Qingwu is grateful towards Uncle Lin."

Luo Chi was laughing and crying, and he corrected her, "Call…call him Elder Lin."

He was also put in a spot. To the outside world, Lin Feng's age was a big mystery. Although he looked young, who knows how long he had lived?

Luo Chi and Jun Zining heaved a sigh of relief as they saw that Lin Feng was not unhappy.

Luo Qingwu raised her nose and looked at Lin Feng. After thinking for a moment, she knew that many highly cultivated individuals did not look their age.

As a result, Luo Qingwu calmed herself and greeted Lin Feng again. "Qingwu is grateful for Elder Lin's graciousness."

Lin Feng looked at her and waved his hands, "You are welcomed."

He looked at Luo Chi, "Your injuries will heal very soon and you will also get back half your powers. What are your future plans?"

Luo Chi sighed, "If I get back half of my powers, I can bring Qingwu back to the Ancient Yuantian World. With her current condition, I need the entire family to think of a way to solve the problem. Haiz, if the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl is gone, she…"

Luo Chi did not dare to think any further. At this point, Luo Qingwu grabbed his sleeves and said pitifully, "Sixth Grandmaster, I want to go home to find my parents."

Luo Chi looked at Luo Qingwu's face and he felt sour. This grandniece of his does not know what she was going to face.

He revealed a warm smile and purposely said, "Why? Do I not treat you well enough? You want to report to your parents?"

Luo Qingwu hugged Luo Chi and laughed, "You dote on me the most. I hope you and my parents are by my side. I also want Eldest Grandmaster, Second Grandmaster, Third Grandmaster, Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle…"

"Okay, okay!" Luo Chi was grinning, "We will all be with you, protecting you."

Luo Qingwu smiled widely, while Jun Zining turned her back around and grimaced.

Lin Feng saw this scene and sighed in his heart. If Luo Qingwu left, then the problem of the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl would still be unresolved. She would be treated very differently from before.

Logically speaking, even if it was like this, she would still be treated well by her parents and Luo Chi. But the change in treatment from the others, would she be able to handle?

Luo Chi coaxed her and his brows creased, "If we were to return to the Ancient Yuantian World, we have to deal with the two pricks from the Yang Family."

Jun Zining interrupted suddenly, "Grandmaster, the two Nascent Soul Stage Grandmasters have been captured by Master Lin."

Luo Chi was shocked and his eyes brightened. Although he learnt from Jun Zining that the two of them were captured but not killed, for the Yang Family to lose two Nascent Soul Stage Grandmasters at the Divine Lands, even if Lin Feng was willing to trade them over, it would not be simple.

In this way, not only was it much easier for them to return to the Ancient Yuantian World, the relative influence of the Yang and Luo Family would change.

Jun Zining told Luo Chi everything. Luo Chi wanted to thank Lin Feng, but he did not know what to say.

Yes, Lin Feng had saved them and helped them greatly. But it was difficult to comprehend what Lin Feng was thinking.

If Lin Feng appeared during a battle between Luo Chi and the Yang Family Nascent Soul Stage Grandmasters, would he think that they were trespassing and capture all three of them?

Luo Chi did not dare to be reckless. He thanked Lin Feng again and recuperated for awhile. After that, he planned to leave with Luo Qingwu.

As of now, the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl had been stabilized by the Dual Polarity Flower, but she could no longer cultivate any mantras. As long as she sucked in spiritual energy, the pearl would be crushed immediately.

Luo Chi was filled with worries and only hoped that there was a solution back at home. There was someone who possessed the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl before and there was a lot of information left behind, in the hands of the head of the family. That was Luo Chi's last hope.

Lin Feng did not stop them. Although he really wanted Luo Qingwu as his disciple, it was not the right time yet.

Not only for Lin Feng, it was also not the right time for Luo Qingwu and her family.

"Sister Zining, are you not leaving with us?" Luo Qingwu opened her eyes wide and looked at Jun Zining.

Jun Zining laughed, "I shall not leave first. If I go back now, I will be taught a lesson by my Father."

She stole a glance at Lin Feng and laughed cheekily, "Elder Lin, can I stay here for a few more days. I will not cause any trouble for you."

Chapter 378: The Samsara Sect Visits

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng saw that Jun Zining was smiling very widely. However, there were many worries hidden underneath that smile.

"Yet another pampered lady that is running away from home." Lin Feng understood. As he looked at Jun Zining, he asked, "It is fine if you remain here. But if your family members come or the Purple Clouds Sect come here to fetch you, I will not stop them."

Jun Zining's smile froze and she became deflated. She looked pitifully at Luo Qingwu and Luo Chi.

When the both of them returned to the Ancient Yuantian World, the Luo Family would know that she had contact with Lin Feng.

When news of Luo Qingwu and her being escorted by Luo Chi to the Divine Lands reached the Ancient Yuantian World, the Jun Family would be able to guess that she was with Lin Feng.

From Lin Feng's words, if the Jun Family did not visit, he would not take the initiative to tell anyone. But if they asked about her, Lin Feng would not hide the truth.

As Jun Zining recall the fiery nature of her father, a chill shivered down her spine. She grabbed Luo Chi's arm and shook it, "Grandmaster Luo, if my father or my grandfather ask about, just say that you lost contact with me okay? Don't tell them I am here."

Luo Qingwu did not need any convincing. As they played from young to now, she understood her meaning. The key laid in Luo Chi's stand in this matter.

"Zining, I have watched you grown up." Luo Chi sighed. "I can hide this matter for you, but you must know that as the daughter of the Luo Family, you must go back eventually."

Luo Chi looked at Jun Zining as if he saw Luo Qingwu's future. He could not help but feel sour in his heart.

Jun Zining sighed slightly and nodded her head, "Grandmaster Luo, I understand. It's just that I…want to move around and relax."

Luo Chi replied, "Forget it, if Master Lin is fine with the idea, it is okay for you to remain here. I will not be worried about your safety too."

As Luo Chi was talking to Jun Zining, Lin Feng was sizing up Luo Qingwu. She had opened her eyes wide too and was looking at Lin Feng too.

Lin Feng was famous in the Divine Lands now. However, in the Ancient Yuantian World, only the higher ups of the various great powers would take note of him and the Celestial Sect of Wonders. For disciples with lower cultivation, there were rare occurrences that they knew about him.

"Elder…Elder Lin. From what Sixth Grandmaster said, I heard that you are especially good, is that the case?" Luo Qingwu saw that Lin Feng was calm and not serious, hence she asked boldly.

Lin Feng smiled slightly, "As long as you work hard in cultivating, you will be good in the future too."

She nodded her head hardly and gestured in space, "When I recover from my injury, I will work hard in my cultivation and became powerful one day. When the Yang Family comes to bully me again, I will scare them away!"

Lin Feng smiled while nodding his head. Luo Qingwu could tell that even the Sixth Grandmaster was fearful and restrained in front of Lin Feng.

"But I feel that this elder is very nice and caring towards me." Luo Qingwu swayed her head and looked at Lin Feng, asking cheerfully, "Can I come over to play in the future?"

Lin Feng was a little shocked and did not say anything.

As Luo Chi heard it, he was shocked and said hurriedly, "Qingwu, watch what you say. Do not be rude."

Luo Qingwu flattened her lips and agreed in indignance. However, Lin Feng ignored what Luo Chi had to say and secretly released a streak of Purple Clouds into Luo Qingwu's body. It was infused within the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl and blended with the spiritual power of the petals of the Dual Polarity Flower.

"Return home with your Sixth Grandmaster. If you are unhappy, you can come over."

As Luo Qingwu received Lin Feng's message through his mana, she smiled widely. But she immediately retracted her smile and continued to show a disgruntled expression.

At this point, she was filled with happiness for getting what she wanted. What was even more satisfying for her was the fact that she had created her own secret.

As Luo Chi's injury recovered, he bid goodbye to Lin Feng and brought Luo Qingwu back to the Ancient Yuantian World. Jun Zining and Luo Qingwu were sad to leave each other.

As she saw Luo Chi and Luo Qingwu being escorted out by Lin Feng, Jun Zining felt empty. After a while, she regained her awareness and stole a glance at Lin Feng. She asked carefully, "Elder, is it never possible for Qingwu's Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl to be restored to how it was?"

She was unsettled. On one hand, she was worried about Luo Qingwu. On the other hand, she felt that she might be too reckless and offend Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's expression did not change and he said calmly, "This depends on her destiny. It is still too early to say."

"Oh?" After hearing this, Jun Zining felt a little ignorant. After absorbing what Lin Feng said, she tried to form a conclusion but was unable to.

Lin Feng looked at her and released a streak of Purple Clouds. He used it to send her to Xiao Budian's Wasteland Valley.

Over there, there was huge growth of plants and the spiritual beasts formed packs. Life there was slowly appearing.

However, there were two figures playing in the valley, disturbing the scenery in the mountain valley. They were making a huge ruckus.

Jun Zining appeared at the mountain valley and looked at this scene. There were 5 or 6 little girls flashing across her like wind. The breeze that they caused almost caused Jun Zining to be swept off her feet.

Behind the little girls, there was an 11 or 12 year old youth chasing them. "You lowly creatures, how dare you steal food again!"

Lin Feng's voice resonated in space, "Tianhao, I am adding a new guest to your cave. Please take care of her."

The youth was naturally Xiao Budian. As he heard that, he stopped in his tracks and looked at Jun Zining.

Jun Zining could see him properly and she complimented him in her heart, "What a handsome young man!"

Who knew Xiao Budian pursed his lips and complained, "Another one. Why are you always stuffing all these little wretches with me?"

Jun Zining's smile froze and she was unhappy, "I take back what I said!"

Tuntun and Zhuge Fengling were also displeased with him. They shouted at him in unison, "You are the rascal, Xiao Budian!"

"I am almost going to be a Master. I am no longer Xiao Budian anymore." Shi Tianhao stood at his spot and placed his hands behind his hips, copying Lin Feng's look. "I will be an adult soon, just like my seniors!"

Tuntun and Zhuge Fengling both shouted in unison, "Who was drinking breast milk yesterday?"

Shi Tianhao's expression did not change and he answered calmly, "That is just my personal hobby. Just like Elder Miao who likes to drink a little."

"Continue to boast!" Both Tuntun and Zhuge Fengling gave him a thumbs down at the same time.

Jun Zining stared at the three of them in shock and whined, "Elder Lin, what kind of place have you brought me to?"

For Lin Feng, one more person would not influence things much. But the arrival of next person bothered Lin Feng more.

As a huge part of Mount Yujing was concealed in space, it was quite difficult for people to look for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng had established a rather good relationship with the Pavilion of Heavenly Trade of Shazhou County. They both visited each other quite often. Over at the Pavilion of Heavenly Trade, there was a Voice-Projecting Crystal that could connect with the Celestial Sect of Wonders. This connection was mainly handled by Miao Shihao. He had a good personal relationship with the people of the Pavilion of the Heavenly Trade.

"Netherworld Hell Holy Man?" Lin Feng looked at Miao Shihao with a surprised look.

Miao Shihao nodded his head with an awkward smile. "I have heard that the Netherworld Path of the Samsara Sect now have two Immortal Soul Stage Elders. Among them, Ming Zun has a higher cultivation and is the main person of the Netherworld Path. However, he rarely reveals himself. The other person is the Netherworld Hell Holy Man Liu Zhikun. He is the one in charge of matters in the Netherworld Path now.

Lin Feng realized the reason for the visit of Liu Zhikun.

The Nascent Soul Stage Elders from the Yang Family of the Ancient Yuantian world was in Lin Feng's hands. Because of the special characteristics of the Ancient Yuantian World, both of these elders were of high importance. Since they were not dead, the Yang Family did not care what method was used as long as they were brought back to them.

Only the Yang Family head, who had cultivated the Immortal Soul, was of a respectable status to see Lin Feng. But he did not dare to leave the Ancient Yuantian World recklessly. Luo Qingwu's attack could have enraged the Luo Family and they would be very happy to avenge her.

But they also had to save the two elders. Out of choice, they had to ask the Samsara Sect of the Divine Lands for help.

Lin Feng believed that the Yang Family would not beg the Samsara Sect if there were other plausible methods. The Samsara Sect's assistance now was bound to haunt the Yang Family for ages.

Liu Zhikun looked like a thin and frail middle-aged man and his cheekbones was a little high. His skin was bronze in color and his lips carried a light smile. He did not have the lifeless aura of a Netherworld Path cultivator.

As he saw Liu Zhikun, Lin Feng laughed, "It is an honor for the Netherworld Hell Holy Man to visit Mount Yujing."

"Master Lin, you are too kind." Liu Zhikun waved his hands, "My arrival is too sudden. Sorry for the sudden intrusion."

He did not beat around the bush and asked directly, "The Yang Family of the Ancient Yuantian World has two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators who trespassed into the north foot of Mount Kunlun. It is fine for Master Lin to punish them, but please confer on them mercy."

"My visit here today is to plead for you to release them to me. The Samsara Sect will not forget this favor."

Lin Feng was not bothered by Liu Zhikun's involvement of the Samsara Sect. He released a streak of Purple Clouds and the two cultivators landed on the ground. Lin Feng laughed slightly, "You are too kind, if they were just causing a ruckus on Mount Kunlun, I will not mind doing you a favor."

Upon hearing his words, Liu Zhikun's expression did not change. But his heart sank as he heard Lin Feng continued speaking, "But after they were discovered, they took the initiative to attack the people of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. I cannot forgive that easily."

This was not something that Liu Zhikun did not know previously. He looked at Lin Feng, "Master Lin…"

At this point, the Steel Tree Avatar appeared beside Lin Feng quietly. It was half-laughing as it looked at Yang Xu.

As they saw this scene, Yang Xu and the other cultivator knew that they could not deny anything. They looked grumpy.

Liu Zhikun's heart sank.

Chapter 379: An Imitator

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

As he looked at the two of them, Liu Zhikun was furious, "The Ancient Yuantian World always produces such unruly characters!"

As what Lin Feng said, it was a small thing if they had only trespassed and was caught by Lin Feng. The matter would be resolved as Liu Zhikun dropped by himself and ask for Lin Feng's help in the matter.

If they were like little kids who were causing a ruckus at someone else house and were caught by the owners, things would be fine as long as the parents came over to apologize.

But if one trespassed and even hit the owner, that would not be a small thing.

Lin Feng was already very merciful by not killing them.

If Liu Zhikun could get what he wanted just by saying a few words, then Lin Feng's reputation in the north foot of Mount Kunlun would be tarnished.

Even Liu Zhikun had to admit that if someone came to the Samsara Sect, caused trouble and even hit the leader of the Samsara Sect, he would banish them to the lowest end of hell and they would never be reincarnated.

But now that he was the one bailing them out, he was unsure of what to do. He looked at the both of them coldly. After that, he turned to look at Lin Feng and said steadily, "Since things have come to this state, the Samsara Sect is willing to compensate you. But I must take this two with me today."

There were the highs and lows, peaks and off-peaks period in the internal struggles within the Samsara Sect. Recently, the internal fighting between the Six Forms was getting more intense. For the Netherworld Form, the resources of the Yang Family was very precious.

To protect its power and appease the Yang Family, Liu Zhikun did not try to force his way through and was prepared to exchange something for both the cultivators. Since the Yang Family caused the trouble, they had to be willing to pay the price for it.

He was also unafraid that Lin Feng might be too demanding. If Lin Feng was too greedy, then at most the deal was off.

In the cultivation world, good was triumphing while evil wass getting weaker. Although the Samsara Sect had changed their old ways of practising evil mantras, but their style of working was still the closest to being a demon style.

To preserve their power, the Netherworld Form would take a step back if needed. But if they could no longer concede anymore, they were willing to enter a full-scale war.

If there was an external enemy, the Six Forms would band together to resist the enemy.

Although Liu Zhikun was calm, he continued to stare at Lin Feng and his eyes were as dark as the Nine Netherworld Hell.

Lin Feng looked at him but he was as calm as ever.

"There is a rare treasure in the Samsara Sect. It is called the Deathly Gas Stone. I have heard about it for very long but have never seen it." Lin Feng looked at Liu Zhikun expressionlessly and stared into his eyes. He said calmly, "I don't mind handing them over, but I will need the Deathly Gas Stone as exchange."

As he said, Lin Feng used his mana to keep the two cultivators again. "After I see the Deathly Gas Stone, these two can leave Mount Yujing.

Liu Zhikun did not move, looked indifferent and his expression did not change.

But in fact, Liu Zhikun had an urge to make a move.

However, he restrained himself from doing so.

The conditions that Lin Feng had proposed made Liu Zhikun uncomfortable. It was difficult for him to fulfill it, but it was not worth to fall out with Lin Feng.

The Deathly Gas Stone was indeed a special and rare treasure of the Samsara Sect, but it was not owned by the Netherworld Form. It was owned by the Asura Form. It combined the purest energy of death and ferocity.

It was not something that an Immortal Soul Stage Elder could consolidate on his own. It was necessary for a group of cultivators who had cultivated deadly mantras like the Asura Mantra to gather together and form it after years of hard work. It infused the determination of countless individuals and the power concept of desperation and escape.

It was rare, but for an Asura Form cultivator, it was not very useful.

If the deathly aura was too pure, it would be too unbearable. Even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator in the advanced stage could not handle and would not be able to use it to cultivate further.

Even though an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator could handle the deathly aura, it was not very useful to his cultivation.

But if Liu Zhikun just went up to demand it, he would be ruthlessly killed by the Asura Form. Just thinking about it scares him.

After staring at Lin Feng for a while, Liu Zhikun nodded his head and said, "That's a promise."

"I shall wait for your good news." Lin Feng smiled slightly. He used his hands to draw a stroke in space, revealing a spatial gap.

Liu Zhikun stepped into the spatial gap and left Mount Yujing.

Lin Feng stood where he was and ponder for a moment, "This is a delightful surprise. If I can successfully get this Deathly Gas Stone, my powers would be even greater."

"Master, I have something important to report." Suddenly, news from Xiao Budian arrived.

Lin Feng was a little curious as he did not know what he wanted to say. When Xiao Budian approached, Lin Feng noticed immediately that besides Tuntun and Zhuge Fengling, Yang Qing had also tagged along. His expression was very serious.

Xiao Budian was dragging his Nascent Soul Stage item, the Green Bronze Ding of Emptiness. The size of the crucible was very huge at this point. There was someone in the crucible.

It was a youth who was at most 14 or 15 years old. His body was very weak and he was in a coma.

This person was gravely injured but he had undergone treatment already. His life was no longer in danger. He was now in a coma, which was the natural process of recuperation. After a while, he would wake up.

"Well done." Lin Feng praised Yang Qing. Although Xiao Budian could use his mana to restore the person's body, such a meticulous work was bound to be done by Yang Qing.

Yang Qing laughed, but his smile soon vanished. "Master, things do not seem right."

Lin Feng nodded his head and asked calmly, "Okay, tell me what is wrong?"

Xiao Budian placed the crucible down and describe everything to Lin Feng, "Master, I was playing on Mount Kunlun with Tuntun and Fengling. We then discovered this youth who was gravely injured.

"I have used my mana to stabilize his condition. When he awoke, he asked us for help." Shi Tianhao sounded even more serious, "But when he found out that we were from the Celestial Sect, he became more emotional and struggled. He even said…"

Lin Feng pupils shrank, "He even said the person who attacked is the successor of the Celestial Sect of Wonder?"

Xiao Budian's eyes raised, "Yes, that is it!"

Yang Qing became even more serious while Tuntun and Zhuge Fengling revealed complex looks.

Everyone present were aware that due to Mount Yujing's unique characteristic, there were a lot of restrictions governing the entrance and exit of Mount Yujing. The only person who could enter and leave as he pleases was Lin Feng.

For others to enter or leave, they had to penetrate the illusory flow of space. For Nascent Soul Stage cultivators like Kang Nanhua or Miao Shihao, as long as Lin Feng did not stop them, they were free to leave. But if they wanted to enter, they could not do it.

Besides Lin Feng, for anyone to enter or leave Mount Yujing, they had to use the talisman he created. The talisman was only owned by Lin Feng's 6 Immediate Disciple, Kang Nanhua and Miao Shihao.

The rest of them, such as Tuntun, Zhuge Fengling, Jieyu and Kui Cow King did not possess it.

Whenever Tuntun and Zhuge Fengling wanted to leave, they had to follow Xiao Budian.

The second-generation disciples onwards had not even leave the mountain ever since they came.

And the talismans were created from Lin Feng's mana. Once they were used, Lin Feng would know.

Recently, everyone was on the mountain, except for Xiao Budian and the other two.

The so-called "Celestial Sect disciples" was definitely a scam.

Yang Qing said, "Master, after saving this young man, he woke up for a while. Although he was very wary of us, we still managed to get some information out."

After hearing Yang Qing's description, Lin Feng's brows creased.

According to what the young man said, he was a villager from Mount Kunlun. After inheriting some mantras and independent exploration, he developed some foundation in Qi Cultivation and had always admired the Celestial Sect of Wonders. He hoped to be accepted as a disciple.

He heard about the Sect-Opening Ceremony in Shazhou County and proceeded towards Shazhou County in hope of some opportunity.

In truth, after the Sect-Opening Ceremony, there were many admirers who came to apply as disciples. They could not find Mount Yujing and therefore they went to Shazhou County.

Lin Feng had asked the Pavilion of Heavenly Trade to receive those who wanted to join the Celestial Sect of Wonders over there. Both Kang Nanhua and Miao Shihao rotated to proceed to Shazhou to bring interested individuals to Mount Yujing for Lin Feng's test.

The thing was, no one had passed Lin Feng's test. Those who had higher potential were already accepted at the Sect-Opening Ceremony. At the same time, there were many who were eliminated.

This young man also held the same view and tried his luck at Shazhou County

Who knew he met someone on Mount Kunlun who claimed that he was from the Celestial Sect of Wonders. He displayed one or two skills and could hold this young man down.

The young man had obtained an incomplete mantra by luck, but he had not seen the world before. The person in front of him seemed to be highly skilled, thus he believed that he was from the Celestial Sect and followed him back.

Who knew that the person scammed him and stopped him halfway. He actually wanted him to cultivate some sacrificial spell.

The young man risked his life to escape but was gravely injured. He eventually met Xiao Budian and the rest along the way.

As Yang Qing said till here, he paused for a moment before saying, "Master, I have helped him to treat his injuries. I feel that the mantra used on him is very familiar."

Shi Tianhao nodded in agreement, "You are right."

He laughed, "Hehe, a familiar foe!"

Chapter 380: Familiar Foe

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

After hearing Xiao Budian claiming that it was someone familiar, Yang Qing eyes brightened. "Does this mean that I did not see things wrongly?"

Lin Feng answered, "You are right, it is indeed someone we know. After the battle at Shazhou County, the other party died down and there was no more movement from them. There was news that their family's Immortal Soul Stage cultivator had retreated behind closed doors."

"Now it seems like they do not dare to exact revenge openly, but carrying out dirty actions in the dark."

Xiao Budian said, "Master, there is another suspicious point."

He pointed at the youth who was in a coma inside the crucible, "From observing the aura of the mana of the other party who attacked him, his cultivation is way above him. If he really wanted to kill him, he could do it easily. There is no way he could have survived."

Yang Qing said, "He let him survive on purpose, so that he can achieve his goal of smearing the name of the Celestial Sect of Wonders?"

Shi Tianhao nodded his head repeatedly, "It is very possible that this is their motive."

"I don't think this is all." Lin Feng looked at the youth and said, "Follow me."

Lin Feng's original self continued to hold down Mount Yujing. He used his Steel Tree Avatar to bring Xiao Budian and the rest out of the mountain and landed on Mount Kunlun.

After landing, Lin Feng said quietly, "All spread and use your spiritual awareness to find whether the person from the Aeolus Sect was acting on his own or under a scheme by the Aeolus Sect."

Imitating as a Celestial Sect of Wonders disciple and attacking the youth left an aura behind that revealed it was an Aeolus Sect cultivator.

The place that Lin Feng led to them was the north edge of Mount Kunlun. Further north was a desert region, where Shazhou County could be seen.

The various disciples from the Celestial Sect of Wonders started to proceed in the eastern direction. They expanded their search area gradually and scanned the area.

Lin Feng's original self was the head of the search. His supernatural awareness reached far and wide. After a period of searching, Lin Feng discovered something

"Oh? Although it was not someone from the Aeolus Sect, it was someone familiar. Wasn't it inappropriate for him to appear at such a place?"

Lin Feng laughed. His supernatural awareness did not discover an Aeolus Sect cultivator but a very familiar vibration of mana.

It was the vibration of mana from the Yu Clan, one of the 4 big clans within the Great Qin Empire. There were some disciples cultivating the Mantra of Xuanming inside. Even the lowest in cultivation was a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

Besides the Yu Clan cultivators, there were two other youths in the group who were injured and they looked lost.

Out of these two youths were among the Yu Clan cultivators, one of them said while trembling, "I did not think that the people from the Celestial Sect of Wonders were so brutal. They are no different from monsters!"

The other youth agreed and nodded his head.

Beside them was a young man in white, in the cultivation of Foundation Establishment Stage. He was a descendant disciple of the Yu Clan. As he heard what they were talking about, a smug look appeared on his face.

As the young man in white looked at the two youths, he said warmly, "The cultivation world has always been a brutal one. It is not as perfect as you all think. Many cultivators are willing to do harmful things to achieve unlimited power."

"We call that going onto the demonic path. There are more of those who die in the hands of such cultivators than in a bloody battle."

Both of them let out a cold breath at the same time and their faces revealed a shocked expression.

The young man in white followed suit before continuing to say, "As a cultivator, although I struggle with life and destiny, I have never tried to implicate others with me. We hate those demons and are fighting them all the time. We hope to destroy them completely."

"After a while, less and less of these demonic paths are taken. Under the pressure that we bring, they have started to learn how to disguise themselves and act like orthodox cultivators like us. But their goal is to lie to everyone and fulfill their selfish desires."

The young man in white continued, "The Celestial Sect of Wonders is such a demonic sect. Their brutality has been experienced first-hand by the both of you."

The two youths were shocked but enraged, and they were filled with hate but were afraid too. "We did not think that they were so brutal. We still wanted to become disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. We were blind!"

The young man in white shook his head and laughed, "You can't be blamed. The both of you have not encountered our world before. There are a lot of things that the both of you won't now."

One of them asked in fear, "I heard that the Celestial Sect of Wonders accepted many disciples at Shazhou County previously. Those who had entered, have they all become…"

"Maybe it is not everyone. But there are already many of them who should be quite powerful already." The young man in white said with a face of regret. "The so-called Sect Opening Ceremony at Shazhou County is the huge scam designed by the Celestial Sect of Wonders to attract people like the both of you who are unaware."

"That time, many people, including the Yu Clan, went over to stop them. But we did not know that their demonic power was so strong. Out of our expectations, many of the highly-skilled individuals from our clan did not reach in time, which gave the Celestial Sect of Wonders the opportunity to capitalize.

He looked at the two youths and said, "This is also a huge regret for those who believed in good. If we had stopped the Celestial Sect of Wonders, we could have save many people."

As they saw the young man in white revealed a regretful look, the two youths comforted him, "Elder, please do not blame yourselves. We believe you do not want it to happen in this way too."

"That is right, that's why we are doing our best to make up now. Hopefully, we can prevent more losses and stop more people from being tricked by the Celestial Sect of Wonders." The young man in white looked at this two youths and revealed a smile on his face, "At least our efforts are not wasted."

One of the youths revealed a determined expression and bowed towards the young man in white, "Elder, please accept me as your disciple. I want to learn the celestial arts from you. Once I achieve something, I want to follow you to resist the Celestial Sect of Wonders!"

"If you did not save us from the demonic hands of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, we would long be dead." The other youth bowed towards him hurriedly, "Elder, please accept me too. I want to be powerful too and defeat the demons, to save the others from being scammed."

The young man in white laughed. Both of the Innate Abilities of these youths were not bad. He nodded his head hurriedly, "For the both of you to have such a sense of good in you, it is really rare. Even if I am punished, I must teach the both of you well. The two of you will become the pillars of the cultivation world one day and defeat the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

The young man in white was slightly satisfied, "Yet another two talents!"

He was just feeling excited until a voice rang in his ears suddenly, "Are you too engrossed with your show?"

The young man in white was shocked. His expression changed and realized the space above his head started to turn purple.

A group of Yu Clan cultivators were shocked before realizing a few figures appearing in front of them. Firstly, there was a bronze-skinned and a tall man.

"He seems unfamiliar." The young man in white calmed his nerves. He had already memorized the looks of the important characters in the Celestial Sect of Wonders, but he had never seen the Steel Tree Avatar. But he could recognize Xiao Budian.

"Shi Tianhao!"

All the Yu Clan cultivators turned ghastly. Not only in the Shi Clan was Xiao Budian's presence disliked, he was also equally disliked in the Yu Clan. No one would imagine that the infant who almost died had turned the tides on the person who wanted to harm him.

During the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, Shi Tianhao impressed and even Zhu Yi lost to him. His name was becoming more and more famous.

How could the Yu Clan not recognize him, especially when they had been keeping tabs on him?

The young man in white knew that everyone present was not his match. He secretly crushed a crystal, but who knew that there was no reaction.

"It is the purple fog!" He lifted his head and looked at the surroundings which had been engulfed by Purple Clouds. He bit his teeth and crushed another spiritual talisman. It was converted to a streak of white light, racing towards the sky.

This was the creation of the Yu Clan Nascent Soul Stage Elder. The talisman had no offensive abilities, but it could penetrate through things.

However, as the white light encountered the Purple Clouds, it could not fly out and was trapped.

The young man in white was desperate and groaned, "What a ploy!"

Lin Feng heard it and laughed while shaking his head, "At this time, you still have the mood to act. Your determination is commendable."

His determination had an effect. At least the two youths stared at Lin Feng and the rest with looks of hatred. Although their bodies were shivering and their faces revealed fearful expressions, their gaze was still filled with determination.

Lin Feng did not even look at them, but was only interested in the Yu Clan cultivators. He said, "It seems like this is not a one-person job. The Aeolus Sect has already colluded to carry out this scheme."

"The Aeolus Sect is imitating the Celestial Sect of Wonders to catch and attack people. After that, all of you act as if you are saving them. What a fantastic performance." Lin Feng's expression was calm, "Tarnishing the name of my sect and accepting talented individuals. You are killing two birds with one stone."

After Xiao Budian brought the injured youth back, Lin Feng used his Talent Analysis Device to test his talent. The total score was 23. Although it was not that high, it was not low either.

The two youths in front of him had talents that were not lacking too, especially their Innate Abilities.

Regardless of whether it was the Aeolus Sect or the Yu Clan, they chose the talented ones to lay a move on. Although they had no Talent Analysis Device like Lin Feng, they could still tell whether the Innate Abilities of such youths were high or low.

Lin Feng laughed, "The Aeolus Sect cannot be working for the Yu Clan. The both of you must be colluding to help each other, right?"

He expanded his supernatural awareness towards the extremes of the four directions. Very soon, he found a bunch of cultivators, who were the successors of the Aeolus Sect.

Chapter 381: Trap

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Since the Aeolus Sect and the Yu Clan had colluded together, they must not be far off from each other.

Lin Feng used his supernatural awareness to scan the surroundings and quickly found a bunch of Aeolus Sect disciples. As expected, there were two average youths among them who were injured and lost.

The Yu Clan cultivators acted as the successors of the Celestial Sect of Wonders in front of these two youths, before the Aeolus Sect stepped forward to help them.

At this point, an Aeolus Sect cultivator and another person was having an argument somewhere distant, "You cannot find them and now you are blaming us?"

Lin Feng could tell that the other person was a Yu Clan cultivator from his mana. He looked gloomy, "We waited at the agreed route, but we did not see anyone. Naturally, we came to look for you."

He looked at the Aeolus Sect cultivator in front of him and laughed, "Don't tell me you all botched it up? Don't say that I didn't warn you. If you really want to accept them as disciples, you are bound to let the cat out of the bag when they see their attackers in the same sect."

"We had agreed to collaborate for this reason."

The Aeolus Sect cultivator snorted, "I am not so stupid. Of course, I understand this, that is why I am saying once more. I had chased the kid to your path, but I met you after that. As to where the kid went, I am clueless.

The look of the Yu Clan cultivator became even more gloomy. "If this is as what you said, something unexpected must have happened."

"Are you saying…" The Aeolus Sect cultivator was not dumb either. As he thought of something, his expression changed, "Did someone save him"

The Yu Clan disciple nodded his head, "That kid only has a foundation in Qi Cultivation. He could not have escaped the search from the two of us who are in the Foundation Establishment Stage. The only explanation is there was a third party."

His face revealed a layer of fear, "The worst that could happen was that a Celestial Sect of Wonders disciples saw him and brought him away…"

As they were saying, the sky above them suddenly turned purple. Purple Clouds surged and engulfed the entire space.

Everyone's expression changed. In the next moment, they saw Lin Feng and his disciples emerging. Lin Feng turned his head towards Xiao Budian and laughed, "The kid that you saved is the one who escaped from them."

Shi Tianhao looked at the bunch of Aeolus Sect cultivators and the Yu Clan cultivator, before saying, "What a coincidence, we bumped into him."

The other party was unable to retaliate and was captured.

The two kids in the group who were coerced felt the same as the kid over with the Yu Clan. Initially, they were unfriendly towards Lin Feng and the rest. But when Lin Feng gathered the two groups of people today, the youths who were scammed changed their expressions.

They could clearly tell that the enemies that had attacked them were in the group.

After a few moments of confusion, these youths recognized what had happened. All of them were furious for being tricked.

They felt feelings of resentment and hate towards the Celestial Sect of Wonders initially because the 'truth' that they witnessed had deviated too much from what they had expected. They yearned to be accepted as disciples, but found out that the people they idolized were monsters. That was why they were disappointed and furious.

But now that they discovered the truth, they felt even more angry. They shifted their hate from the Celestial Sect of Wonders towards the Aeolus Sect and the Yu Clan.

Everyone was brought back to Mount Yujing and Lin Feng handed the few youths over to Xiao Budian and Yang Qing.

As he looked at the gloomy young man in white, Lin Feng asked, "Confess, I don't wish to search your soul."

The young man in white trembled and answered, "I am Yu Cheng, the descendant of the third wife in the Yu Clan. I have seen you before."

Yu Cheng knew that he could not hide anything in front of Lin Feng, hence he told everything he knew to Lin Feng. He did not plan the scheme and was just someone carrying it out. He believed that Lin Feng would not bother himself with someone like him who was a small fry. Of course, he knew that his future days would not be good.

After hearing Yu Cheng's confession, Lin Feng found out that the Yu Clan and the Aeolus Sect had indeed colluded. Furthermore, it was not only these two bunches of people who were in action.

Besides them there were others spread out across Mount Kunlun. They were there to interrupt those who were traveling to Shazhou County to seek discipleship with the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

For those with lousy potential, they let them off. But for those who had potential, they stopped them.

Every batch of people was a mix between the Aeolus Sect and the Yang Clan. Both parties would keep a gap between themselves and used the Voice-Projecting Crystal to communicate. This was how they colluded.

At times, they would stop those who had lousy potential. They would then put on a show just to smear the name of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

"One Nascent Soul Stage cultivator in the intermediate stage from the Yu Clan entered Mount Kunlun to helm all of this?" Lin Feng nodded his head slightly, "Those who were stopped will be sent to him."

"It was the same for the Aeolus Sect."

After finding out what he wanted to know, Lin Feng called Zhu Yi to bring them away. They were sent for trial and stood under the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree alone, staring into space and were not allowed to speak.

After a while, Zhu Yi returned. Shi Tianhao, Wang Lin and a bunch of disciples came before Lin Feng. Only Xiao Yan had retreated behind closed doors and Lin Feng did not want to disturb him.

Both Kang Nanhua and Miao Shihao also arrived. Kang Nanhua creased his brows but did not speak. Miao Shihua looked at Lin Feng from the corner of his eyes and said, "Master, we cannot sit and doing nothing about this."

Lin Feng smiled slightly, "Relax Shihua, I know what to do."

At this point, Zhu Yi and the rest had already understood everything. Lin Feng also told them everything about Yu Cheng's confession. Everyone was emotional and unhappy.

"Master, I feel that there is something wrong…" Zhu Yi pondered for a moment and said.

Lin Feng heard it and revealed a smile. He used his right hand to point at Zhu Yi, "Zhu Yi, you are very meticulous."

Yang Qing and Yue Hongyan were stunned. Xiao Budian also felt that it was weird. Wang Lin was thinking hard about things.

Kang Nanhua and Miao Shihao looked at each other and pondered.

Lin Feng looked at Xiao Budian and asked, "Tianhao, what is your preferred method of action?"

Shi Tianhao replied, "Find the two Nascent Soul Stage Grandmasters of the Yu Clan. They must have the detailed locations of the disciples of the two parties who entered Mount Kunlun. In this way, we can catch all of them at one go."

"Furthermore, for those who were captured, if they did not return to their nest, the two Nascent Soul Stage Grandmasters would also know about it.

Lin Feng laughed, "Tell me then, who is the most suitable for catching them?"

Shi Tianhao answered, "Now that things have come to light, you do not have to do it personally. Eldest Senior is still retreating, so we don't count him. Second Senior, Third Senior, Elder Kang, Elder Miao, Jieyu, Kui Cow King, Tuntun and myself makes eight people. Just choose four out of this eight and victory is guaranteed."

"I do want to see that Yu Clan Grandmaster…" As he said till this point, Shi Tianhao suddenly stopped and he was enlightened. He turned his head to look at Zhu Yi and saw him nodding his head.

He looked at Lin Feng again. Lin Feng smiled slightly and Shi Tianhao understood his meaning. He kept quiet, but his gaze became colder and colder and he laughed, "Hey, Yu Clan!"

Everyone recalled slowly and Yue Hongyan snorted, "Trap!"

Yang Qing was also a little enraged, "They are evil. It is a trap for Youngest Junior."

Wang Lin said, "Youngest Junior is the main target, but all of us are involved too. Hmm, besides Master, whom they may not have the confidence to keep him, they will be happy to trap the rest of us."

Lin Feng's expression did not change and he even wanted to laugh. As he looked at everyone around him, he said, "Our sect has risen in power in the Divine Lands, attracting hatred from other great powers. This is not unexpected."

From interrogating Yu Cheng, Lin Feng already knew that the plan of the Yu Clan and the Aeolus Sect was supposed to be carried out after the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai. It seemed that the brilliant showing of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, especially Xiao Budian, had triggered them.

"Aeolus Sect, Yu Clan…haha!" Lin Feng laughed and sent out a streak of Purple Clouds, bringing Tuntun before himself.

"Lin Feng said, "Tuntun, I need you to liaise with your father, the Taotie Grand Sage."

Tuntun looked at Lin Feng in surprise. After she reformed her body, although she had no intention of returning to the Barren Lands, she remained at Mount Yujing as she wanted to enjoy the delicacies over here.

But Lin Feng helped her to form a connection between her family and herself. What made Tuntun surprised was that her father asked her to stay at the Divine Lands after a period of consideration. She could go back when she wanted to.

Apart from that time, Lin Feng did not have any other contact with the Taotie Grand Sage. Now that he was putting up such a request, Tuntun was a little surprised.

After establishing connection, there was a low voice resonating from outside, "How are you, Master Lin?"

"You are too kind, Grand Sage." Lin Feng answered. "I need your help in contacting someone today."

Taotie Grand Sage replied, "Who?"

Lin Feng said a name and the Taotie Grand Sage went silent immediately. Lin Feng did not rush and waited quietly.

After a while, the Taotie Grand Sage replied, "Okay!" The communication was terminated after that.

Lin Feng turned his head and looked at everyone, "I have always told all of you that we as Celestial Sect of Wonders must never be at a disadvantage!"

"We must know who our enemies and friends are. If our enemies dare to trigger us, we will send them to hell."

He laughed slightly, "The battle at the Sect-Opening Ceremony is the first battle that we used to announce our name. Seems like some people are still itching to be beaten up. Just for this time, let us shed more blood!"

Chapter 382: Time to Settle the Score

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

After ending his communication with the Taotie Grand Sage, Lin Feng tapped his finger and a light spot flew into space. The light spot was converted to a light figure in space.

The light figure turned into an illusion. It stabilized and projected a golden sea of fire. Everyone felt like they were looking at the Sun.

For it to have such a magnificent fire power of the Grand Sun Primordial Fire, the identity of the other party was known immediately.

Out of the Ten Demonic Saints, it was the Golden Crow Grand Sage

Lin Feng said, "Golden Crow Grand Sage, I haven't heard from you for a long time."

There was only the sound of the explosion of flames from the other side. After a while, there was a rough voice, "Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

Lin Feng laughed. After the Sect-Opening Ceremony at Shazhou County, he released the Fire Crow Demonic Commander along with the Fire Crow Young Master. Before they left, he handed them a ball of Purple Clouds for them to pass to the Golden Crow Grand Sage

At that point, Lin Feng established a connection with the Golden Crow Grand Sage and even formed an indefinite agreement.

"Your idea is, the time has come?" The Golden Crow Grand Sage asked.

Lin Feng laughed, "Right before our eyes. Please prepare. When the time comes, I will inform you."

After remaining silent for a moment, the Golden Crow Grand Sage opened his mouth and said, "That is a deal. I will wait for your good news."

As the light figure disappeared, Kang Nanhua raised his brows. Using his mana, he passed a message to Lin Feng, "Master, if news of us working with demonic clan spreads, it will not be good for our name."

He was not questioning Lin Feng's decision but was only worried. As of things now, the human and demonic clan were still at odds with each other.

Lin Feng looked at him and looked at the rest. His lips revealed a smile, "When did I say we are collaborating with them?"

Kang Nanhua was shocked and started to ponder. After a while, he was enlightened. "Master, what is your plan?"

Lin Feng smiled, "Our purpose of this battle is to take care of the Aeolus Sect and Yu Clan. But this will be too boring."

"Speaking of this, I must thank them for giving us this opportunity."

Under Lin Feng's command, Xiao Budian and the rest revealed smiles on their faces. They were excited and started to prepare themselves.

"Everything is in place except for one thing." When only Lin Feng was around, he peered far away and started to mumble to himself.

Around the mountains at the North-South border of the central region of Mount Kunlun, there was a group of cultivators gathering.

They were standing together and among them were many little kids. Although they carried injuries, their emotions were stable. They could even be heard cursing the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Deep within the mountains, four Aurous Core Stage cultivators bowed in unison towards an elder in white. "Third Granduncle, the total number of talented youths that we have accepted is 16."

The elder in white sat a volcanic rock quietly. From his head to toes, there was no sign of his mana and his entire person seemed to have blended into space. Above his head, there was a breath of clear air from the Nine Heavens that was going straight down.

The elder in white was indeed a Nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster in the intermediate stage, who led a group of cultivators into Mount Kunlun. His name was Yu Shiling.

After hearing the report by the four Aurous Core Stage cultivators, Yu Shiling nodded his head, "Well done."

One of the Aurous Core Stage cultivators followed with, "There are still 3 batches of people who are yet to return. I believe that they will have rewards for all of us."

Yu Shiling instructed, "You must ensure that at least one communication must be established per day. Once there are traces that any disciples are missing, report to me immediately."

The four of them nodded and retreated.

All of the Yu Clan disciples kept their distance and did not dare to disturb the Grandmaster's rest. When Yu Shiling was alone, he stood up from the volcanic rock and bowed towards the sky, "Master, everything is going according to plan."

"Those with lower potential have been released. When they get to Shazhou County and spread the news, the Celestial Sect of Wonders will hear of it and will come here to investigate."

In the sky, a water droplet was formed and floated in space.

For a normal person, the water droplet was too small and could not be seen clearly. But when the Nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster looked at it, he could feel that the water droplet was covering the entire sky. It was boundless, as if the entire sky was frozen within this water droplet.

There was a deep voice resonating from the water droplet. This voice could not be heard by others except Yu Shiling. The voice sounded very majestic and reverberating towards Yu Shiling.

"If the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders does not appear, everything will be carried out by all of you. There is only one principle. Shi Tianhao must not be spared."

As Yu Shiling heard it, he nodded his head hurriedly, "I will carry out your instructions, Master."

The water droplet in the sky disappeared all of a sudden.

On Mount Yujing, Lin Feng was seated in the Grand Heavens Pavilion. He sat on his knees on his seat and closed his eyes.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and unleashed a streak of Purple Clouds. He opened a door in space and saw the Netherworld Hell Holy Man, Liu Zhikun, exiting from the door.

Liu Zhikun's thin face revealed a smile, just like the first time they met.

"Master Lin, during the Sect-Opening Ceremony, we did not have a chance to congratulate you. My entire sect feels very regretful about that." Liu Zhikun said. "We hope that this Deathly Gas Stone can help to make amends for that."

As he said, Liu Zhikun retrieved a piece of dark volcanic rock. Although it was only as big as an egg in his hand, Lin Feng knew that that was the case because Liu Zhikun had used his mana to shrink space. The size of the black volcanic rock should be as huge as a small cottage house.

Although it was repressed by Liu Zhikun's mana, Lin Feng could still feel the deathly aura from within it, which was very suffocating.

Lin Feng's mana was threatening to resist it.

"It is indeed very powerful. I did not make a wrong guess. This is something I need!" Lin Feng was thinking and repressed the surge of his own mana. He used the Fences of the Heavens secretly, which made him feel much better.

Lin Feng thought in his heart, "Cultivating The Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtues has allowed my abhijna to be way beyond those in the same realm. But I still feel a little uncomfortable. There are very little people in the Immortal Soul Stage that can resist this Deathly Gas Stone. It is even rarer for one to use it for cultivation."

"But for a normal Immortal Soul Stage cultivator, even for the Asura Path or the Immemorial God Slayer Sect, having this stone would be useless for them. But for me, this is a treasure.

Lin Feng looked at Liu Zhikun and laughed, "You are too kind. I am very thankful towards your sect."

After receiving over the Deathly Gas Stone, Lin Feng waved his hand and a streak of mana brought Yang Xu and the other cultivator to the ground.

Liu Zhikun looked at the both of them, "Act with prudence in the future. Recklessness only leads to your downfall."

As Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, Yang Xu and the elder in black were very domineering in the Ancient Yuantian World. People were always trying to get into their good books. They could not even remember the last time they had been reprimanded so badly.

But in front of Liu Zhikun, the both of them could only lower their heads in embarrassment. They did not even dare to be unhappy, "We will keep in mind your teachings."

The both of them bowed towards Lin Feng too, "Thank you for being gracious and granting us mercy."

Lin Feng nodded his head slightly and did not look at them again. He chatted with Liu Zhikun instead.

After conversing for a while, Liu Zhikun left with the two of them.

Lin Feng smiled while saying, "Take your time, I shall not send you off."

Liu Zhikun replied, "It's okay, we can go off on our own." After he finished speaking, he dragged the two cultivators and left Mount Yujing through a spatial tunnel that Lin Feng set up.

After the three of them left, Lin Feng heaved a sigh of relief, "The item is finally here."

He retrieved the Deathly Gas Stone from a Celestial Small World and found out that it was vibrating non-stop. Black gas was coming out from it and attacked the Purple Clouds that formed the Celestial Small World.

The Purple Clouds embraced the creation and evolution of life, thus it was ostracized by the black gas that was coming out from the Deathly Gas Stone. The collision between both parties caused the Celestial Small World to be on the brink of collapse.

"Slowly, slowly." Lin Feng smiled slightly, "The Purple Clouds is the clear air from the Heavens and Earth, containing the power concepts of creation and evolution. However, it did not originate before Hong Meng opened the skies and was not the most primitive power that created life. That is your opponent."

Lin Feng used his fingers to create a light spot in space. It was converted into a small formation. Although the size of the formation was small, the patterns on it were complicated. It was formed from the accumulation of patterns.

Lin Feng placed the Deathly Gas stone inside it, before putting something else into it. It was the Soul Creator Seal.

The two magic treasures came into contact in the formation. Not only was the Deathly Gas Stone being entirely ferocious, even the normal-looking Soul Creator Seal started to have some weird movements.

It was as if some noble character that possessed unlimited power had just awoken from its sleep and was stabilizing the universe and opening the Heavens and Earth again.

Lin Feng laughed, "Very good. As expected, with the Deathly Gas Stone, the spiritual power of the Soul Creator Seal is also inspired."

He then added in the flower petal of the Dual Polarity Flower, adding power to the Soul Creator Seal. There was a prosperous life force brewing in the formation.

Whereas the Deathly Gas Stone was pushed to a corner. At the end, it was like an enraged beast and its body revealed pieces and pieces of string-like black entity that was extremely ferocious. The places that it encountered experienced a fall in the power of life.

Not only was the Soul Creator Seal and the Dual Polarity Flower being threatened, even the movement of the formation was in a disarray. It was as if it was influenced by the deathly aura and became weaker, reaching its death.

"Lunar-Destroying Deathly Gas! I have succeeded!" Lin Feng revealed a wide smile on his face, "Now I have everything. It's time to settle the score."

He kept his formation and released the Aeolus Sect Foundation Establishment Stage head cultivator. He said to them calmly, "You can now cut off the connection with the other side."

Chapter 383: The Time is Ripe

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Yu Cheng and his group cut off their connection with Yu Shiling. Shiling knew that they were in trouble immediately and that Lin Feng could have caught wind of their actions. The Yu Clan and the Aeolus Sect made preparations to counter the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Lin Feng had already thought of this point. He was not afraid that the Yu Clan and Aeolus Sect knew about him coming. He was deliberately trying to escalate matters.

As he had to wait for Liu Zhikun to deliver the Deathly Gas Stone, Lin Feng could not allow Yu Cheng to cut off their connection with Yu Shiling immediately.

If communication was ceased and the Celestial Sect of Wonders did not arrive, there were only 3 possibilities.

Firstly, Yu Cheng and his group ran into some other trouble that caused them to lose communication. It was easy for Yu Shiling to confirm whether this was the problem.

Secondly, the Celestial Sect of Wonders swallowed this indignance. But with Lin Feng's style, that was impossible.

Then it could only be the third possibility. Lin Feng knew that it was a trap and did not react according to what they had expected. The Yu Clan and Aeolus Sect would have to be wary of whether Lin Feng was pulling any tricks.

Out of the consideration to keep his opponents unaware, Lin Feng allowed Yu Cheng and his group to maintain communication even after they were captured.

Of course, under the control of Lin Feng's mana, Yu Cheng and the rest had no way to resist or come up with any sly tricks.

Right now, the time was ripe and he instructed Yu Cheng to break off contact with them, to alarm Yu Shiling. This would also increase their belief that Lin Feng would retaliate.

After that, he controlled his Steel Tree Avatar and brought Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, Kang Nanhua, Miao Shihao, Jieyu and the rest to the hiding spot of Yu Shiling.

Besides Xiao Yan, the entire Celestial Sect was in action.

But Lin Feng's original self did not follow and remained at Mount Yujing. He smiled and released a streak of Purple Clouds that was converted to an illusion of a light figure. He reestablished communication with the Golden Crow Grand Sage, "The time is ripe."

"Good!" The Golden Crow Grand Sage replied and the communication was cut.

After ending his conversation with the Golden Crow Grand Sage, Lin Feng released another streak of Purple Clouds, which converted to a new illusion of a light figure.

A voice came from the side, "Is it starting?"

Lin Feng replied, "You all better not arrive later than the Golden Crow."

The other party laughed, "Relax, we will be much earlier."

After ending the communication, Lin Feng smiled, "I should make a move too."

In space, Mount Yujing made a sudden jerk and the leaves of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree started shaking. They were flashing with a rainbow radiance. In the next moment, the huge mountain disappeared in space.

Whereas on Mount Kunlun, Lin Feng's Steel Tree Avatar had led the group, who were riding on Jieyu and the Kui Cow King. Very soon, they had arrived at the hiding spot of Yu Shiling and the Aeolus Sect.

Lin Feng said calmly, "All take care." Everyone acknowledged and ventured off in different directions.

Kang Nanhua, Kui Cow King, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and Yang Qing were a group. They went to find the Aeolus Sect.

Miao Shihao, Xiao Budian, Tuntun, Jieyu and Yue Hongyan were a team and they went to find Yu Shiling.

Jieyu revealed his dragon form. He was extremely huge and cruised in the skies. Xiao Budian stood on his head and stared at the mountain valley below him quietly. He said, "Jieyu, let's go down.

Jieyu acknowledged and converted into a beam of black light. He dashed towards the mountain valley like a shooting star.

In the mountain valley, Yu Shiling was waiting. He felt the vibration of mana of Jieyu and immediately clasped his palms together. The Xuanming Primordial Water appeared and converted itself to a huge ice shield.

Jieyu hardly hit the shield like a spear and broke it.

But Jieyu's strength when colliding against the shield was dissipated by the shield too. His momentum was stalled.

"The Xuanming Primordial Water is indeed special. Although it is not as powerful as the Xuanming beast, it was still very rare. Jieyu knew that although he was only in the beginner stage of a demonic lord, the dragon clan was naturally strong. Going against an average Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was nothing difficult.

But for a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator like Yu Shiling who controlled the Xuanming Primordial Water, he had to deal with him carefully.

But someone would not give him the chance to. Xiao Budian flew into the sky and converted himself into a lightning bolt, dashing towards Yu Shiling more ferociously than Jieyu previously.

Yu Shiling snorted, "Let's see how much you can take."

He conjured a spell and a huge amount of Xuanming Primordial Water appeared in space. They gathered together and blocked off Xiao Budian.

Xiao Budian's body was surging with lightning and thunder and his entire body was converted to a 2 meters tall ghost figure. With a ferocious fist, he punched straight at the Xuanming Primordial Water.

The Xuanming Primordial Water was disturbed but it was not broken apart.

Shi Tianhao took in a deep breath and the Nine-Holed Aurous Core in his body shook. The Aurous Core spat and swallowed a huge amount of spiritual energy which was converted to a tremendous power.

Shi Tianhao's power increased as the power of thunder and lightning respawned. Although his ghostly figure did not enlarge, the originally light green figure of his became pitch-black.

The ferocious power was unable to be resisted by the Xuanming Primordial Water. It was destroyed layer by layer.

Yu Shiling was a little fearful now. He had heard of Xiao Budian's powers, that his total mana did not pale in comparison to Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Yu Shiling had believed that his cultivation was above that of other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators as he guided the Nine Heavens clear air into his body, thus he could at least repress Xiao Budian comfortably.

But after this battle, he found out that although he had an advantage, it was too slim to determine the victor.

As he chanted something, Yu Shiling controlled the Xuanming Primordial Water again, which unveiled a frightening aura. It was as if it had existed since immemorial. It completely froze everything around it, even the space around it.

The ghostly figure that Shi Tianhao converted to had an unclear facial appearance.

But Yu Shiling felt that Shi Tianhao's face was revealing a smile.

As a light sound was let out, a small crucible appeared on Shi Tianhao's head. As a green radiance flashed, Shi Tianhao's mana was further supplemented. Layers and layers of earth-shaking power was attacking the Xuanming Primordial Water.

Shi Tianhao let out a deep groan and his fist became the Dual Hammers of the Heavenly Hammers of the Eight Trigrams.

A destructive power was continuously being released and destroyed the Xuanming Primordial Water.

Yu Shiling's expression did not change. He clasped his hands and a drop of extremely cultivated Xuanming Primordial Water appeared above his head. It kept on shrinking and eventually became a pure, pitch darkness.

"Immemorial Xuanming Arrow" Yu Shiling conjured her powers and the black droplet was converted to a streak of light, attacking Shi Tianhao like a chord of arrows.

The Immemorial Xuanming Arrow flew across space and left a clear black line. That was not the remnants of his mana, but it was a crack left behind as the Immemorial Xuanming Arrow flew across and cut through space.

Anything that had passed the Immemorial Xuanming Arrow would be crushed.

As Xiao Budian faced this arrow, he lifted his head and shouted, "Uni!"

The 'Uni' word of the Xuanhuang Four-Word Mantra was activated and an extremely tremendous power that filled the skies supported space.

But Yu Shiling's cultivation was way beyond Song Qingyuan at the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai. Xiao Budian's cultivation was only in the Aurous Core Stage, thus he could not completely stop the Immemorial Xuanming Arrow.

However, with the "Uni" word supporting space, even the domineering Immemorial Xuanming Arrow was unable to be unleashed to its full potential. Its movement was slowed down considerably. Initially, it was as fast as lightning, but now it was struggling to proceed.

Shi Tianhao slapped his head and a streak of white light emerged. In space, a circular mirror appeared, which was entirely white and ancient. It was the Aurora Polar Mirror that he won after defeating Song Qingyuan at the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai.

With Lin Feng's help, the item was cultivated by Xiao Budian.

The Aurora Polar Mirror aimed at the Immemorial Xuanming Arrow in space. A beam of blue light shot out from it and engulfed the Immemorial Xuanming Arrow.

If only the mirror was used to battle the Xuanming Primordial Water, Yu Shiling's Xuanming Primordial Water was better. But now that the Immemorial Xuanming Arrow was suppressed by Shi Tianhao's "Uni" word, the Aurora Polar Mirror could dismantle and destroy the arrow.

Miao Shihao and Jieyu did not make a move. At this point, Tuntun and Yue Hongyan started to scan the mountain valley for the Yu Clan Aurous Core Stage cultivators and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

But at this point, a tremendous power suddenly came from a distance.

Miao Shihao looked at Jieyu, "As what Master expected, he is not lousy."

The skies in the distance developed a crack. Someone walked out from it. His mana was creepy and above his head was a streak of clear air that shot straight to the Nine Heavens. It was another Nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster from the Yu Clan.

But this person was not attention-seeking. After walking out from the spatial gap, he paved the way for someone behind.

It was an elder in white. He scanned Shi Tianhao, Miao Shihao and the rest, before snorting, "The Celestial Sect of Wonders, hmph!"

There was a figure coming from his head and was converted to a giant that was at least 10 feet tall.

This giant stepped onto space. It only had one arm and its face only had an eye. Its eye was like a water droplet that froze into an ice crystal. There was a strong power emanating from it then threatened to freeze the entire place.

As the giant appeared, the areas around Mount Kunlun were converted to a snow field. It was dark and left one depress

As the Celestial Sect disciples saw this scene, they were fearful.

Miao Shihao said, "Cosmic Form, Advanced Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage"

Chapter 384: Consistent Changes in the Battle

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

In the cultivation world of the Ancient Yuantian World, there was a huge gap between the cultivation realms – Qi Cultivation Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Aurous Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage and Immortal Soul Stage. Many people failed to make the leap between one realm to the other.

Within the same realm, there were even smaller realms that had gaps between the cultivation level. Different realms contained different gaps in cultivation level.

Below the Immortal Soul Stage, the top 3 ranked differences in cultivation between the smaller realms in descending order was as followed – Intermediate and Advanced stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, Intermediate and Beginner Stage of the Aurous Core Stage as well as the 11th level and 12th level of the Qi Cultivation Stage.

The huge difference between the Intermediate and Advanced stage of the Nascent Soul Stage was attributed to the presence of the Cosmic Form.

The Cosmic Form represented the combination and sublimation of the essence of a cultivator's entire life of abhijna and mana. Its power was extremely huge. It was the extreme end that a Nascent Soul had to reached before an Immortal Soul was formed.

During the Sect-Opening Ceremony at Shazhou, Miao Shihao, who was in the beginner stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, faced off with Yu Qianshan, who was in the intermediate stage of the Nascent Soul Stage. Although victory was difficult to secure, he was not fearful.

Now that he was in the intermediate stage, he was bound to win Yu Qianshan if they sparred again.

But if he faced the Yu Clan Grandmaster, Yu Yiluan, who had cultivated the Cosmic Form, he would be very pressurized.

Ray Reflecting Mirror, Superior Orchid Cacti, Canglang Water Technique were some of the more outstanding spells he could use to put himself on a comparable level with Yu Yiluan. But it was more for his own protection. If the battle prolonged, he would be defeated in the end. Whether he could escape was another thing.

Yu Yiluan stood in the skies quietly. He did not do anything but display his 10 foot tall Cosmic Form. Wherever the lone-eyed giant went, it would be covered in ice. Regardless of whether it was a lively spirit or a rigid mountain peak, everything would be converted to black ice crystals.

Miao Shihao's Ray Reflecting Mirror had the miraculous power of reflection that restricted the spells of others. But when it faced the attack of the Cosmic Form, it was powerless. When the mirror surface encountered the lone-eyed giant's ice-blue gaze, it was immediately frozen into a black crystal.

A gust of cold wind blew and the black ice crystal was crushed into powder, causing it to descend from the skies.

Although the Canglang Water Technique could not be frozen and was able to even break down a part of the blue light, it was useless when the blue light came in beams.

There was only the Superior Orchid Cacti left, which possessed a tremendous explosive strength. It could take a little effect. Every time the blue light threatened to attack its enemy, Miao Shihao would use the Superior Orchid Cacti to counteract it. With its tremendous explosive strength, it could destroy the blue light temporarily.

But using the Superior Orchid Cacti imposed a huge burden on one's mana. Miao Shihao could not use it freely. He could only use it when he was desperate. Even so, he could feel his mana depleting.

Promotion to the Intermediate Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage allowed one to guide the Nine Heavens Clear Air into his body. The cultivator's mana would be replenished. But every use of the Superior Orchid Cacti would deplete a huge portion of Miao Shihao's mana. At this point, his power was dwindling.

"Master, if you don't make a move soon, I will be unable to take it anymore." Miao Shihao thought of it agonizingly. Fortunately, he was resisting Yu Yiluan's attack. Otherwise, with his incessant attacks, someone would fall sooner or later.

Among the rest, Jieyu handled another Yu Clan Grandmaster in the Intermediate Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage. Although he was in a lower realm, he could use his innate dragon power to circumvent that.

Although Yu Yiluan used his powers on Miao Shihao, the shockwaves from his attacks brought a lot of problems to Shi Tianhao, Jieyu and the rest.

Initially, they could match up with their opponents. But now, they were on the losing end.

Although there were only Tuntun and Yue Hongyan, they could defeat the Yu Clan 4 Aurous Core Stage cultivators and a bunch of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators in the mountain valley.

But Yu Yiluan's appearance brought about a strong repression through his aura that prevented the two of them from exhibiting what they had. They felt that their limbs were very rigid and their mana was very stagnant. Using them was very laborious.

In a split second, Yue Hongyan and Tuntun went from gaining the upper hand to being surrounded and attacked.

Yu Yiluan looked at Miao Shihao and said, "If you are waiting for reinforcements, then forget it. They cannot even protect themselves now."

As if his words were being explained, there were two tremors of mana vibration from a distance. It was as if two huge tornadoes were running riot.

Gusts of squalls were causing havoc and blowing in all directions. It felt as if the skies in the distance would be torn apart into smaller pieces.

The tremors were as powerful as Yu Yiluan.

Over there, there were also 2 supreme cultivators in the Advanced Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage who had cultivated the Cosmic Form. Just by observing their mana vibration, one could tell that they were from the Aeolus Sect.

Yu Yiluan's voice was not loud, but it resonated, "All of you have been wreaking havoc for too long already. All of you will pay the price for your past actions today."

He looked at everyone from the Celestial Sect of Wonders calmly and his tone was indifferent, as if he was saying something that was normal.

To Yu Yiluan, the Celestial Sect of Wonders had tremendous potential. Lin Feng's cultivation was also very powerful and the disciples were all ridiculously good.

But the Celestial Sect of Wonders was in an awkward period, that was Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao and the rest were in a shallow period of their cultivation. Although they were powerful, they had their limits.

In the Celestial Sect of Wonders, besides Lin Feng, the next person who was highest in cultivation was only Miao Shihao. The entire structure was composed of a powerful leader and a bunch of disciples who were still far away from him.

As the head of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, his powers were indeed shocking, as evidenced when he resisted the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation at the lakeside of the Sea of the Northern Winds. His disciples were also invincible in the same realm.

But in the Nascent Soul Stage battling platform, where the core of a sect was important, the Celestial Sect of Wonders seemed very ill-equipped.

In the near future, when Xiao Yan and the rest matured, they could fill the gaps. But now, it was the weakest period of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Once this period was over and Xiao Yan and the rest matured, with their current potential, the powers of the Celestial Sect of Wonders would improve leaps and bounds.

As they recognized this point, the Yu Clan and the Aeolus Sect acted decisively and make use of this prime opportunity.

In this battle, the goal of the Yu Clan and the Aeolus Sect was to eliminate the 'freaks' of the Celestial Sect of wonders.

Of course, to the Yu Clan, their main goal was Xiao Budian. He was their end goal of this mission.

For this, the two great powers activated 3 Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the Advanced Stage and 4 in the Intermediate Stage. In terms of abilities, they were well above the Celestial Sect of Wonders, except for Lin Feng.

When Yu Yiluan said that Zhu Yi and the rest over at the other side could not even help themselves, he was not exaggerating. This was because they were about to face 2 Nascent Soul Stage Grandmasters in the Advanced Stage and 2 Nascent Soul Stage Grandmasters in the Intermediate Stage from the Aeolus Sect. They were under more pressure than Shi Tianhao or Miao Shihao over here.

"The leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders should have gotten wind of what's going on already." Yu Yiluan lifted his head and muttered, "But even if he wants to come over to help them, he will not be able to do so."

Miao Shihao used the Superior Orchid Cacti to destroy the beam of blue light that was released by Yu Yiluan. He was very fatigued already and this had always been his flaw.

He rolled his eyes at Yu Yiluan, "Don't be too cocky now. You seem to forget how Yu Wanfeng died?"

Yu Yiluan's expression did not change and he nodded his head, "Of course I remember. He was crushed by Mount Yujing. He didn't even have a corpse."

His expression was indifferent. As he looked at Miao Shihao creasing his brows, he felt cold in his heart.

"Since we did not forget how he died, how could we not have taken precautions to prevent the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders from controlling Mount Yujing from descending over here?"

Yu Yiluan looked at Miao Shihao calmly, "Besides the Nine Luminaries Heaven Crushing Formation, there are other strong formations that can be shifted."

After hearing Yu Yiluan's words, Miao Shihao's expression changed. He seemed to have thought of something, "Don't tell me…the Aeolus Sect brought their own Nine Heavens Squall Formation over here?"

Yu Yiluan looked at the sky above him, "That's right. From when I revealed myself, this place has already been covered by the Nine Heavens Squall Formation. Even if the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders brings Mount Yujing over, he will not be able to break it."

He lowered his head and his vision focused on Xiao Budian who was fighting with Yu Shiling, "Even if he breaks it in time, all of you will be dead by then."

Over at the other side, Zhu Yi and the rest already knew about this. Zhu Yi stared at the Nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster from the Aeolus Sect, "Shifting the formation over is a big risk. Are you not scared that others will take the opportunity to attack your sect?"

The Aeolus Sect Nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster laughed, "How could you all have predicted our move? I am not afraid to tell you that there is another Nine Heavens Squall Formation at the Holy Wind Mountain for protection."

Zhu Yi's gaze flashed, "Your sect has the power to form two formations?"

"This is none of your business." The Nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster laughed coldly, "You just need to know that none of you will leave here alive."

At this point, a voice resonated in the sky. "Oh? I don't think so."

Before he even finished speaking, the entire place started to change. Innumerable streaks of light formed a huge formation in the sky with a weird rhythm and pattern.

Within the formation, various forms of runes and formation maps started to surface. They combined together and slowly formed a huge, black and white pattern, covering the entire place.

Before the Aeolus Sect or the Yu Family cultivators could react, the formation had already sucked in Yu Yiluan and 3 Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the Advanced Stage.

Lin Feng's Steel Tree Avatar revealed itself in space and watched everything that was going on.

The tides had been turned. Without the repression of Yu Yiluan and the three Nascent Soul Stage Grandmasters, Zhu Yi, Xiao Budian, Miao Shihao and the rest could gain an upper hand against the other 4 Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the Intermediate Stage.

At this point, there was a water droplet that appeared and slowly floated in front of Lin Feng.

"Your formation is indeed powerful. It can hide you within space and within the internal sections of the Nine Heavens Squall Formation. Even I was tricked." The water droplet gradually grew ten feet high. It was converted to a portal and someone walked out from it.

This person looked at Lin Feng and said, "However, you are just an avatar. You are useless. I will kill your disciples and destroy your avatar today."

Lin Feng looked at the middle-aged man, "Head of the Yu Clan, Xuanming Holy Man, Yu Xintao?"

Chapter 385: Intense Battle with the Immortal Soul Stage Holy Man

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The 3 Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the Intermediate Stage brought about immense pressure to the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

But Lin Feng was prepared. Although his original self wasn't there, the Steel Tree Avatar brought the Two Elements of Creation Formation.

During the battle at Shazhou during the Sect-Opening Ceremony, Pang Jie, the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator in the Advanced stage who cultivated the Cosmic Form, had the Six Appearances Sword with him. Even so, he was unable to escape from the Two Elements of Creation Formation.

The Yu Clan and Aeolus Sect's power were greatly hit as Yu Yiluan and the 3 Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were trapped by Lin Feng's Two Elements of Creation Formation.

The situation was immediately reversed. The momentum was with the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

The head of the Yu Clan, Xuaming Holy Man Yu Xintao, was watching from one side. But now, he was unable to sit and watch anymore and revealed himself.

He watched Lin Feng and his Two Elements of Creation Formation, and was feeling a little fearful, "Just now, before the formation was activated, it was able to infuse itself with the Heavens and Earth without leaving any trace of it being around."

Lin Feng looked at Yu Xintao indifferently. Although it was only his avatar present, he was fearless.

"Xuanming Holy Man, I have heard of you for a long time." Lin Feng said.

Yu Xintao remained calm, "Master Lin, it seems like you have expected me here. You used your avatar to bring the formation here, are you liaising with your original self that's not here?"

"I will not give you the chance to. The Nine Heavens Squall Formation does not bother about what is happening inside and it will continue to defend against the outside. Over here, I will kill your avatar and your disciples."

Lin Feng laughed and lifted his finger to point at the Two Elements of Creation Formation, "Let's cut the formalities and get into the real thing."

"I agree, we should cut these formalities." Yu Xintao said, "The Yu Family has relied heavily on Shi Tianyi while the Celestial Sect of Wonders has put everything on Shi Tianhao. The battle between us will have a victor."

Lin Feng said, "You are wrong. There is never a winner or loser. Shi Tianhao is my disciple. My role is to guide him. The debt that some people have owed him must be repaid."

Yu Xintao nodded his head, "Not bad, the Celestial Sect of Wonders killed 2 of my Nascent Soul Stage disciples. Today, you will pay the interest first."

As he said, he raised his hand suddenly and his palm enlarged and covered the skies. It grabbed Xiao Budian up.

Lin Feng clasped his hands and conjured a spell, saying calmly, "After today, it will not just be the 2 Nascent Soul Stage cultivators already."

"Two Elements of Creation Formation, open!"

"Six Forms of Creation and Destruction, Heaven and Earth Change, Rise!"

The formation flashed and it appeared above Xiao Budian in the next moment. It blocked the huge palm of Yu Xintao, as if the huge palm was destroyed when it came into contact with the Two Elements of Creation and Destruction.

Unlimited Purple Clouds and Central Wutu Divine Light appeared at the formation. Above the Purple Clouds, a boundless sky emerged. Below the yellow light, the ground became extremely thick.

The Heavens and Earth combined to become a single entity, infusing everyone within the boundary into the formation.

Even Yu Xintao was embroiled within. The vast sky was above while the thick soil was below. Mount Kunlun had disappeared and an entirely new world was left.

"Hearsay that this formation stabilized a few Middle Worlds that were about to collapse. It is indeed extraordinary."

Yu Xintao looked at all this quietly. In a split second, the entire place was in turmoil. The entire world seemed to be twisted.

Lin Feng had already activated the power of the Heaven and Earth change. The defensive mana on Yu Xintao's body was initially cold as ice, but it became extremely hot at this point. It was almost going to be converted into a ferocious flame.

Not only was the world in turmoil, the spiritual forms in this world was also twisting and changing.

Yu Xintao did not move and his eyes turned ice-blue. It was as if unlimited amounts of Xuanming Primordial Water were released

The ice-blue Xuanming Primordial Water quickly gathered and converted to a pure-black ice shield. It emanated an ancient aura, as if it existed for very long and could not be broken down.

It was also the Yu Clan's strongest defensive abhijna in the Mantra of Xuanming, the Xuanming Magic Shield.

Previously, Yu Qianshan had once used this to resist Lin Feng's Heaven and Earth Destroyer. It was fruitless as it was immediately crushed.

But the Xuanming Magic Shield that Yu Xintao was using was different from that. The Two Elements of Creation Formation was unable to destroy it and it successfully protected Yu Xintao.

However, this was very passive. Yu Xintao was like Pang Jie and the Six Appearances Sword previously, as he was stuck within the formation.

Yu Xintao laughed, "In his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, Pang Jie cultivated the powerful abhijna of the Great Void Sect. He also had the Six Appearances Sword to protect himself. Even the Immortal Soul Stage cultivator of my generation could do nothing to him."

"But he was not in the Immortal Soul Stage. Although his magic treasure had the original soul, he was not a true Immortal Soul Stage cultivator.

Yu Xintao's eyes became pitch-black, "You can trap them, but not me."

After saying, Yu Xintao's body shape changed suddenly. His entire body unleashed an evil blue light, causing the gaps within the Two Elements of Creation and Destruction to project a sea of blue.

Within the blue light, Yu Xintao disappeared. A dark ice soul slowly surfaced from the blue light.

The size of the ice soul grew bigger and bigger. In the end, its diameter was almost a thousand feet. It existed amongst the blue light.

Unlimited cold air was released by the ice soul. The entire place was almost frozen.

With the black ice soul as the core, transparent snow started to extend rapidly in all directions. Everything in its path was frozen within the snow. From ten miles to hundred miles to a thousand miles, it kept on expanding.

Everything from grass to wood to flowers to trees, rivers, wind and cosmos were all frozen.

Yu Xintao wanted to use his powers to freeze the Two Elements of Creation Formation.

He wanted to freeze the entire area covered by the formation. In this way, the formation could not function properly.

"Avatar! This is the Immortal Soul Avatar!" As Lin Feng witnessed this scene, he nodded his head repeatedly, "This is the true powers of an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator."

Realm of the Immortal Soul. This was the end goal for many cultivators. It represented immortality to them.

As the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the Advanced Stage cultivated the Cosmic Form, their Nascent Soul became extremely strong. It will then combine with the Cosmic Form and integrate the power of the rule of Taoism. If it was successful, they could cultivate the Immortal Soul Avatar.

A Nascent Soul Stage cultivator would not let his Nascent Soul surface easily. While the essence of the Nascent Soul could increase their powers, the Nascent Soul was very fragile. If anything happened, there would be huge trouble and risks.

But the Immortal Soul Avatar was different. It was the foundation of the strength of the Immortal Soul Stage cultivators. Only an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator who could reveal his Immortal Soul Avatar was considered capable and could unleash his most powerful battling powers.

The Immortal Soul Avatar was also the consolidation of an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator's cultivation. It revealed the classic origins of an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator.

During the battle of the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation, Lin Feng had once witnessed many Immortal Soul Stage Elders revealing their Immortal Soul Avatar.

The Asura Holy Man, Huo Xiu, used the Asura Mantra to achieve the Immortal Soul Avatar. It was a lethal Asura Battle Spear. It was deathly and terrorized people since time immemorial.

The Supreme Radiance Swordmaster's classic origins laid in the Supreme Radiance Sword Technique. His Immortal Soul Avatar did not have a proper entity. From its outer appearance, it looked like a streak of light that flashed in space. It was neither bright nor dark, making its movement unpredictable.

The Sun Radiance Swordmaster's classic origins laid in the Sun Radiance Sword Technique. The Immortal Soul Avatar comprised boundless sword radiance, as if it was a flaming sun.

Right now in front of their eyes, the thousand feet black ice soul was obviously the Immortal Soul Avatar of Yu Xintao.

With the ice soul as the core and unleashing its powers continually, he wanted to destroy Lin Feng's new world that was formed using the Two Elements of Creation and make a new ice-cold world.

Although the situation was critical, Lin Feng did not panic. He looked at the black ice soul and was deep in thought, "When I achieve the Immortal Soul, I wonder what my Immortal Soul Avatar looks like?"

As he thought, Lin Feng did not relax his grip. He used his hands to conjure up powerful spells and eventually his palms clasped.

"Six Forms of Creation and Destruction, Heaven and Earth Change, Rise!"

A huge pattern appeared in the sky and black and white intersected. As the two extremes met, the black and white pattern started to revolve.

As the pattern revolved, the world started to change its look. The spiritual energy continued to surge, as if winter passed and spring approached. Even if Yu Xintao exhibited his Immortal Soul Avatar, he could not prevent the approach of spring.

Countless new life sprung out and the strong life aura could not be repressed.

The black ice soul was still effecting its influence, as unlimited snow continued to expand in all directions. It destroyed life, but could not overcome the speed in which the Two Elements of Creation was creating life.

Although his avatar was a black ice soul, Yu Xintao's feel of the external world was not subjected to any changes. He could tell that the white portion of the black and white pattern contained a greyish-white spiritual stone that was three inch long and one inch thick.

The greyish-white spiritual stone seemed to breed the universe. It was supplying tremendous power to the Two Elements of Creation Formation.

Whereas on the black portion, there was huge black volcanic rock. From within, a thin streak of black gas was released.

The spiritual energy from the formation was getting more and more concentrated. All of a sudden, the two extremes reversed. The huge amount of life power was converted to a deathly aura. The entire world was plunged into darkness.

The boundless deathly aura was converted to a thousand huge swords. Each of these swords' tip was as big as a small mountain peak.

As they took shape, these black swords started to fly towards Yu Xintao's ice soul ferociously.
