Chapter 449: My Luck Today Is Not Bad

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Sirius Grand Sage's human form was in the shape of a giant hunk over 2 meters tall clad in a robe made out of wolfskin.

His black hair hung loosely behind me and his appearance was rough and rugged. His eyes were blood-red, like two deep ponds filled with blood. They gave off a cold, cruel light.

He looked at Lin Feng coldly and said, "Long Ye, is this the Lin Feng whom you often mentioned?"

Long Ye smiled and replied, "Yes, uncle."

"The Golden Crow Grand Sage was suppressed by him?" An old granny then walked out from behind the Sirius Grand Sage and looked quietly at Lin Feng. Long Ye smiled and said, "Yes, auntie (Translator's Note: Her relationship to Long Ye should be the same as the Sirius Grand Sage's relationship with her), the Golden Crow Grand Sage fell by his hands."

Lin Feng looked at the old granny. Her back was bent forward and she wore a brown robe made out of cloth. Her appearance was calm and she looked ordinary.

Her mastery was not as high as the Sirius Grand Sage and hence, she should possess only a First Level Undying Demon Soul. Her killing aura was not strong and it appeared that she was plant-type demon like Long Ye.

However, looking at this old granny, Lin Feng felt that something was amiss.

Because while they were all in the middle of the white light tree canopy, the old granny appeared more relaxed than both the Sirius Grand Sage and Long Ye.

In reality, after the Cloud Forest Trees merged with the Middle World and turned the whole world into a white light tree canopy, everyone who was stuck within it, regardless of whether they were humans like Lin Feng, Yan Mingyue or demons like Long Ye and the Sirius Grand Sage, would feel trapped.

On one hand, they had to resist the powers of the white light tree canopy and on the other hand, they could not resist its powers too strongly for fear of having their exact locations discovered by the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

The subtlety of this was truly a gruelling trial. Subconsciously, it would be truly taxing on Lin Feng and the rest.

However, according to Lin Feng's observation now, the old granny was extremely relaxed despite being in the middle of the canopy. If it was attributed to her being a plant-type demon, then Long Ye, as Celestial Jade Tree Demon, should behave the same way. However, while both of them had First Level Demon Souls, Long Ye was nowhere as relaxed as her.

The Sirius Grand Sage stared at Lin Feng and grunted, "If Senior had not injured the Golden Crow Grand Sage first, I doubt that he could have suppressed him."

The brown-clothed old granny said, "Sirius, leave some energy for yourself. The Golden Roc's underlings will be here soon."

"I am interested in his Mount Yujing. Last time, Long Ye accidentally lost it. Today, I'll get it back for her," the Sirius Grand Sage bared his teeth in a smile. His snow-white teeth flashed with a cold gleam. "The Golden Roc wanted enough people to be here, but I bet he wants them alive. If I kill this b*stard here, then I can ensure that the Golden Roc does not have enough people for his plan."

Hearing his words, Lin Feng was not anxious. Instead, an interested look appeared on his face as he said, "Oh? It appears that you lot understand quite a lot about the Golden Roc Grand Sage."

Earlier on, when Long Ye was mumbling to herself, she revealed some information. Now, hearing the words of the Sirius Grand Sage, it appeared that they had some understanding of the Golden Roc Grand Sage's plans.

The Sirius Grand Sage smiled cruelly as a scene appeared in his two blood-red pupils.

An endless sea of blood punctuated by mountains of bones appeared. A giant black wolf perched on top of one of these macabre mountains and howled non-stop.

A violent killing intent and the smell of blood rose into the sky. It was unimaginably wild and bloodthirsty.

Lin Feng had hardly seen something this bloodthirsty and violent before. The Guanchong Swordmaster was a sword cultivator who killed decisively and quickly, while the Asura Holy Man, Huo Xiu, had incorporated murder as a key component of the Asura Mantra. The Golden Crow Grand Sage, like the Sirius Grand Sage, possessed a Second Level Undying Demon Soul.

However, they were nowhere as bloodthirsty as the Sirius Grand Sage. This demon was definitely the most brutal butcher Lin Feng had ever met. He hands were caked in blood and he had probably killed countless of people.

Actually, without Long Ye's introduction, Lin Feng could guess his identity from his first gaze. After he went to Long Ye's side, Lin Feng was sure that it was him.

The Hell-Slaying Sirius, otherwise known as the Sirius Grand Sage, was the top combatant and general under the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. He had helped her establish a firm reputation for herself in the Barren Expanses. His name too was famous in the Barren Expanses. Compared to the mysterious Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, many demons were more familiar with the Sirius Grand Sage.

Legend had it that he was her junior and like the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and Long Ye, they all cultivated the most potent mantra of the Demonic Clan, the Hunyuan Demonic Code. Combined with his innate genius and talent, he became extremely powerful. While he possessed only a Second Level Undying Demon Soul, he had few rivals in the Barren Expanses.

It was a well-known fact amongst the demons that had he not loyally followed the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and instead chose to make a name for himself, he would easily have made his way into the rankings of the Ten Demonic Saints and displaced someone.

Even the Golden Crow Grand Sage and the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi, both of whom were immensely powerful demons, could not underestimate the Sirius Grand Sage.

There were even rumors that the Golden Crow Grand Sage had lost to him once. He only managed to escape thanks to the speed advantage of bird-type demons

While it may only be a rumor, regardless of whether it was real or fake, it was enough to testify to this wolf demon's powers.

"Three swords will be enough?" Lin Feng silently calculated. While the Sirius Grand Sage had yet to reveal his true form, the suppressive powers he gave off in his human form was already much more than that of the Guanchong Swordmaster. However, his expression did not change.

At this point, the tree leaves and tree branches around the group began to vibrate violently. Ripples like waves began to appear.

Lin Feng, Long Ye, the Sirius Grand Sage and the old granny were all slightly unnerved by this. They could all feel a powerful and terrible demonic aura within each ripple and that it was about to burst forth.

"I'll leave you with Mount Yujing, for now," the Sirius Grand Sage's mouth twitched as he looked at Lin Feng. He turned his head to Long Ye and the brown-clothed granny and said, "Let's go!"

Long Ye smiled at Lin Feng and waved her waves, "Master Lin, we'll talk next time."

They did not hesitate at all before leaving.

Looking at the ripples, Lin Feng understood immediately. The Cloud Forest World, after it fell under the control of the Golden Roc Grand Sage, became similar to a giant spell formation. The Cloud Forest Trees that were connected with one another through spiritual energy allowed him to immediately send his underlings to a particular location in the Middle World.

Now, ten ripples began to flash simultaneously. This means that ten Demonic Saints could be arriving at this point at the same time. While the Sirius Grand Sage was bloodthirsty and violent, he wasn't dumb. He had no desire of being attacked by an entire group.

Lin Feng too retreated as fast as he could. Under the suppressive powers of the Middle World, Yan Mingyue, Long Ye, the Sirius Grand Sage and Lin Feng all faced the same problem. Their movements were severely restricted. While they could slice open the void, they would be suppressed by the powers of the Cloud Forest World and would be unable to fly through it at full speed.

The powers of the Cloud Forest World too would affect their movement. They may not be able to reach their intended destination.

After Lin Feng the rest split up, re-grouping became much harder. On the other hand, the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi and the other demons who were in charge of mopping them up could use the powers of the world to easily gather their forces and encircle them.

They were akin to animals that were being hunted.

Just as he had left his original position, Lin Feng suddenly felt the ten powerful demon auras behind him dissipated. Then, they appeared to split into two groups. Most of them went after Long Ye and company while three of them pursued Lin Feng.

Three Demonic Saints who had formed their Undying Demon Souls came after Lin Feng. One of them was a winged, half-cow half-tiger Qiong Qi while the other was a giant Golden-Feathered Great Roc. There was also a bird-type demon enveloped in black gas known as the Sun-Swallowing Condor.

Amongst the Three Demonic Saints that chased after Lin Feng, two of them were bird-type. They flew extremely fast and the Qiong Qi was not slow either.

Lin Feng's soul was linked with Mount Yujing. This already made his movement extremely cumbersome and his own mana extremely clumsy. His flying speed had already been massively reduced.

Now, with the suppressive powers of the Cloud Forest World, his speed became even slower. Compared to the three demons chasing him, he was like a snail. In the blink of an eye, they almost caught up with him.

"Sh*t, they are going to catch up...no wonder there," Lin Feng's mouth twitched as he gently tapped his forehead. Purple gas began to spew out of his forehead and engulf him within.

On Lin Feng's forehead, Mount Yujing and the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree began to rise slowly as the purple clouds enveloped their surroundings.

Mount Yujing did not return to his original size but instead, hovered above Lin Feng's head. The tree leaves on the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree shook gently in the wind and released the Seven Colored Treasure Light.

The Seven Colored Treasure Light broke through the void and brought Lin Feng along with it. In that instant, he disappeared without a trace from his original position.

The three demons that were pursuing Lin Feng all revealed expressions of shock. In their eyes, Lin Feng's speed was extremely slow and only akin to that of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

However, just as they were about to catch up with him, a light danced above Lin Feng's head and his body were engulfed by purple gas. Then, he disappeared.

The Golden-Feathered Great Roc was reluctant to admit defeat. His tribe was the fastest under heaven and much faster than the Kun Peng or the Sun-Swallowing Condor.

However, even with his speed, he was unable to catch up to Lin Feng.

The Qiong Qi asked in a deep voice, "Under the suppressive powers of the world, how could anyone still move so fast? Who exactly is he?"

The Sun-Swallowing Condor replied darkly, "Perhaps he has some treasure along with him? If it's based solely on his own mastery, then he would be a Third Level Immortal Soul stage cultivator. In that case, he would have been discovered the moment he entered the Middle World by Emperor Roc."

"Regardless, he is someone we cannot underestimate. We must report this to Emperor Roc immediately," the Golden Feathered Great Roc said. The white light tree canopy suddenly rang with the Golden Roc Grand Sage's voice. It appeared to be coming from everywhere and it filled the entire place. It was as if the world itself was speaking. "I am already aware. Continue with your search."

The three Demonic Saints replied affirmatively as the Qiong Qi lowered his head slightly to receive the message from his own tribe. "The monk managed to bring his senior over. Emperor Roc had lifted the seal to allow him to come in. Let us settle him first."

The Golden Feathered Great Roc and the Sun-Swallowing Condor nodded their heads. The white light under their feet began to ripple and in the next instant, they disappeared.

Lin Feng was much more apt in controlling Mount Yujing, the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds and the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree now. Using the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, he broke through the void and escaped the three demons. He did not waste a single second on it.

Breaking the Golden Roc Grand Sage's control over this world was the crux to solving the problem. The Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation and the dozens of Cloud Forest Trees were the true prizes here.

At this point, to Lin Feng, collecting the sarira would be another decent reward.

As he calculated, the system suddenly rang next to Lin Feng's ears. "There's a sarira of the Great Thunderclap Temple near you."

Lin Feng smiled upon hearing that. "Eh, today my luck today is not bad."

Chapter 450: Hand Over Your Sarira

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Using the powers of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree to fly, Lin Feng was joyous. This showed that despite the suppressive powers of the Cloud Forest World the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and Mount Yujing were still able to operate.

Because of the separation between worlds, neither Yan Mingyue and the rest who wished to return to the Divine Lands from the Cloud Forest World nor Long Ye and company who wished to return to the Barren Expanses were able to do so. No one could come in and no one could leave.

Looking at it now, Lin Feng who carried Mount Yujing along with him would be able to break through the Middle World if he used all his energy to do so. However, he did not do that for he had other matters to settle here.

Hearing the system's notification about the sarira, Lin Feng became happy almost instantly.

Earlier on, after careful consideration, Lin Feng did not capture the monk as he sought to wait for a better opportunity. Who knew that he would appear in front of Lin Feng once again?

Following the system's notification, Lin Feng moved within the white light tree canopy. From afar, he could feel the vibrations from a powerful aura.

"Such an aura feels extremely familiar," Lin Feng thought as an answer surfaced in his heart. "It must be the Great Thunderclap Temple's Tathagata Dharmas of the Compass' Endless Brilliance Tathāgata Mantra! This is the most orthodox spell of the Great Thunderclap Temple and was much more profound than the Sutra's True Intention I had obtained earlier on from the Buddha Statue Seal. It could very well come from a powerful Buddhist cultivator who cultivated the Amitabha Sutra."

The Endless Brilliance Tathāgata Mantra of the Tathagata Dharmas of the Compass comprised three parts. The overall structure was the Amitabha Sutra, whereas its details could be found in the Supreme Light Mantra and its offensive side could be found in the compilation of the Three Thousand Illumination Spells.

Earlier in the Battle of Shazhou City, Lin Feng managed to tap on Zhu Yi's Fortune to obtain a Buddha Statue Seal. From the Seal, he understood the true powers of the Supreme Light Mantra. After they cultivated and mastered it, they benefitted from it. Zhu Yi was able to synthesize it and form his own spiritual crucible and ascend into the Aurous Core stage.

With the Supreme Light Mantra, one could derive the many battling techniques of the Three Thousand Illumination Spells. However, Lin Feng did not do so as he found that there was no need. However, the loss of the Amitabha Sutra was indeed regretful.

Speaking about it, in terms of the Tathagata Dharmas of the Compass, Lin Feng had already obtained the Vairocana Sutra, the Acalanatha Tathagata Mantra and the Endless Brilliance Tathāgata Mantra. However, all three of them lacked the overall structure and their core points.

By linking his soul with Mount Yujing, Lin Feng's own mana became a lot more sluggish. However, this allowed him to further conceal his aura. Combined with the system's protection, he was akin to a fish in the sea.

Walking amidst the white light tree canopy, his entire body appeared to have entered this part of the Middle World. Without leaving any trace of himself, he advanced towards the source of the Buddhist aura. As he approached, Lin Feng heard someone's voice.

"Yuan Xiang, have you tricked me here deliberately?" An old raspy voice sounded. Lin Feng slowed down his footsteps and through the dense canopy, he saw two people facing each other not far away.

One of them was clad in a grey robe with an inch of hair growing from his head. His expression was eerie. It was the Buddhist cultivator that Lin Feng saw earlier on who had allied with the demons. The sarira that Lin Feng coveted was with him. His Buddhist name was likely to be Yuan Xiang.

Facing Yuan Xiang was an old monk clad in a robe as white as the moon. While his robes were old, they were clean. While he stood there surrounded by white, flashing tree leaves, he appeared even brighter.

He emitted a glow that seemed to come from the moment of Creation itself. It was pure light.

The monk Yuan Xiang said, "Virtuous Zen Master, I had offended you today. However, after today, you would surely understand your junior's intentions. All I ever wanted was to help avenge the Great Thunderclap Temple."

The Virtuous Zen Master face was solemn as he looked at the monk Yuan Xiang opposite, whose face brimmed with violence and darkness. He shook his head slowly and said, "So you wished to kill your seniors? First, you turned the sariras of the powerful monks of our Temple into magic items, then you allied yourself together with demons to kill me."

The monk Yuan Xiang said in a low voice, "Correct, I know that my sins are deep and I will not be able to attain Nirvana after death. I will be condemned forever to Hell. However, even so, the destruction of the Great Thunderclap Temple must be avenged!"

"So what if I ally myself with the demons?" Yuan Xiang said, gritting his teeth. "The Great Thunderclap Temple spent so much time educating and enlightening the common folk. Every time there was a disaster, monks from the temple would help the people by curing them of their diseases or subduing floods."

"However, in the end, every single human cultivator allied together to destroy the Great Thunderclap Temple! They massacred our disciples and destroyed our ancient temple. The bones and sariras of our masters were all stolen! I hate them!"

Yuan Xiang's eyes were bloodshot and his voice cracked. He was like a wounded beast. "The tainted Divine Land is no different from the blood-stained world of the demons, the Barren Expanses."

"As long as I can make the culprits, the Great Void Sect, the Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Great Zhou Empire pay for their sins, so what if I ally myself with the demons?"

The Virtuous Zen Master's face was calm and his gaze was still kindly. He looked at Yuan Xiang and sighed, "So what's the difference between what you are doing now and those executioners?"

Yuan Xiang chuckled creepily, "As long as I can exact revenge for my masters and fellow disciples, I will go to Hell willingly."

The Virtuous Zen Master shook his head and said calmly, "A thousand years of cultivation is lost in a single morning. Yuan Xiang, you too had cultivated our Buddhist way for many years. However, all that's left in you is violence. What a shame that what your obsession isn't revenge for our Great Thunderclap Temple."

Yuan Xiang opened his eyes as an angry expression appeared on his face. "What did you say?"

The Virtuous Zen Master said quietly, "What you are obsessed with are fear and hate. All you want is a peace of mind for yourself."

Yuan Xiang turned to the Virtuous Zen Master like a hurt beast and said, "Then what about you, Uncle Virtuous Zen Master? You were responsible for defending our sect, but you could only watch as our enemies trampled all over our holy ground. Don't you feel hatred?"

The Virtuous Zen Master raised his head and looked at the sky, "The Buddha is compassionate but he could also destroy demons with a flick of his finger. That is not his way, however. It is not the Buddhist way."

"Because of hatred and obsession, you are willing to descend into Hell and join the demons. Doing so will cause you to sink deeper and deeper into the abyss, and further and further away from redemption."

He looked with pity at Yuan Xiang and said slowly, "Yuan Xiang, you had made your choice. That could not be counted as a mistake. However, it is a choice that goes against the Buddhist way. You are still you, but you are no longer a disciple of the Great Thunderclap Temple."

The Virtuous Zen Master tugged his robe and said, "Today, you helped the demons trick me into coming over here. I don't know what your intentions are, but I won't let you have your way. You desecrated the sariras of our masters. I will naturally want them back."

"Everyone's path is different and all we can do is to walk our own separate ways."

Yuan Xiang nodded his head, "You are right, Virtuous Zen Master, my uncle. This is also the last time I will be referring to you as my uncle."

"The time for catching up is over. Yuan Xiang, you can leave," roared a bestial voice. The Qiong Qi that chased Lin Feng earlier on appeared out of a ripple of white light. It stood next to Yuan Xiang and faced the Virtuous Zen Master.

In the air, one could hear the flapping of wings that was as loud as the wind. The Golden Feathered Great Roc and the Sun Swallowing Condor appeared behind the Virtuous Zen Master on both sides, left and right. In a triangular formation, the three demons surrounded the powerful Buddhist cultivator.

The Virtuous Zen Master, faced with the entrapment of the three Demonic Saints, was solemn and calm. His gaze was also deep. "Other than the Qiong Qi, there are also the Golden-Feathered Great Roc and the Sun-Swallowing Condor, right?"

He looked at the Golden Feathered Great Roc and said, "The one who unified the consciousness of this world is the Golden Roc Grand Sage, right?"

The Golden-Feathered Great Roc's gaze flashed sharply and said, "You will know soon." He flapped his wings and tens of thousands rays of golden light flew towards the Virtuous Zen Master.

The Virtuous Zen Master looked at Yuan Xiang, who was retreating slowly and sighed. He turned his gaze away and placed his palms together before quietly muttering an incantation.

In the next instant, his entire body glowed brightly as he engaged the Golden Feathered Great Roc in battle.

"Let's not waste any more time," the Sun-Swallowing Condor shrieked as the black gas around his body began to spread. Immediately, it engulfed almost half of the light from the Virtuous Zen Master's body.

The Qiong Qi too joined in the fight. The three demonic saints all joined in the fight and immediately suppressed the Virtuous Zen Master.

After the three demonic saints appeared, Lin Feng slowly retreated. The old monk's fate was long-sealed ever since he stepped into the Cloud Forest World.

With the same mastery and battling three-against-one in an encirclement, combined with the suppressive powers of the Cloud Forest World, defeat was guaranteed. However, if the opponent wished to catch him alive, then it would be harder.

"Remember what the old wolf said earlier on? They need to get enough people, however, what exactly does the Golden Roc Grand Sage want?"

As Lin Feng thought about it, he walked in the opposite direction.

Over there, the monk Yuan Xiang was already far from the battle between the four powerful Immortal Soul stage beings. In the dark gaze of his eyes, there appeared to be some realization.

He stood there, dazed, for a long while. Yuan Xiang the monk then said in a low voice, "You are right, uncle. I am motivated by fear, fear that those who destroyed the Great Thunderclap Temples so many years ago were too powerful."

"I hate too. I hate the fact that I was in charge of guarding the Forest of Pagodas and I witnessed the destruction of the Saros Steel Tree. The enemies slaughtered their way into the Forest of Pagodas and yet, I did not dare defend it to the death. All I could do was to escape with a few sariras."

Yuan Xiang the monk exhaled, "I told myself that running away could ensure some of my masters' sariras would not fall into our enemy's hands. However, that was an excuse. I was fearful and so, I ran. I did not dare face the enemies."

"I am scared of death. I passed the Void Lightning Tribulations but faced with the apocalyptic powers then, I could not suppress my terror..."

"I feel ashamed and remorseful for what I did. What I want for myself and the Great Thunderclap Temple is to atone for my cowardice earlier on and to kill my enemies that made me feel fear."

Yuan Xiang's eyes turned blood red, "I will do it with any method, at any price."

A voice sounded behind him suddenly, "A Buddhist cultivator must understand himself clearly and differentiate clearly between good and evil. Understanding the deficiencies of his own soul may not be a bad thing, but you are not addressing the issue at its crux. Instead, you are taking only superficial methods. No wonder your senior and master said that you are on the wrong path."

Yuan Xiang was shocked as he turned around. He saw Lin Feng staring at him, who then said, "Hand over your sarira."

Chapter 451: A Bad Feeling

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Yuan Xiang saw Lin Feng and could not help being shocked. He reacted almost instinctively as his body began to brim with light. Within the light, the light of the bodhi tree danced. A majestic and grand aura was emitted.

While the bodhi tree danced, Buddhist chanting could be heard in the background. Lin Feng could smell sandalwood too.

Ten thousand rays of light flew towards Lin Feng as they turned the scene before him into a bright, flashing screen of light. They enveloped Lin Feng.

Because Lin Feng's soul was linked to Mount Yujing at the moment, his own mana moved sluggishly and his mastery fell rapidly. Facing Yuan Xiang, who was in the late-Nascent Soul stage, was difficult.

Using such a move was almost akin to killing a chicken with a cow-slaughtering knife (Translator's Note: Chinese expression that is used to describe unnecessary effort). This did not faze Lin Feng, who smiled and tapped his forehead gently.

From his forehead, a black dot the size of a grain of rice flew out. As the wind blew around it, it grew and instantly turned into a gigantic azure pavilion that was as grand and majestic as the abode of the gods. The azure pavilion rested itself on a thick, black rock, solemn and heavy.

The doors of the pavilion opened and a tall young man, whose skin was bronze, stepped out slowly. He stood at the entrance of the pavilion and stared quietly at Yuan Xiang the monk. It was Lin Feng's Steel Tree Avatar.

The Steel Tree Avatar looked at Yuan Xiang and smiled. Operating the Kun Peng Pavilion, it directed itself towards Yuan Xiang and sought to squash him.

It was like using Mount Tai to crush an egg. Yuan Xiang was not even able to react before he was crushed by the Kun Peng Pavilion. The tens of thousands rays of golden light disappeared immediately.

Yuan Xiang still sought to struggle. He opened his eyes wide and bellowed as a ball of dazzling golden light flew out from his chest. 16 sariras spun in the air as they sought to cast a formation.

"All-Encompassing Bodhi Treasure Light!" The 16 sariras emitted balls of golden light as the outline of a bodhi tree danced within the light. They were extremely clear and bright as the clear wisdom of Buddha shone out.

The bodhi tree's outline became clearer and clearer as it sought to find somewhere to root itself underneath the Kun Peng Pavilion. It sought to support the weight of the Kun Peng Pavilion by itself.

The powerful aura that was emitted was akin to the true teachings of the Buddha. Flawless and perfect and without any possible counter-measure. It sought to help all beings transcend into Nirvana.

The Steel Tree Avatar smiled and closed his hands and summoned an incantation. The Kun Peng Pavilion suddenly changed its shape. The azure pavilion suddenly turned black like its foundation and the entire pavilion became heavier and heavier.

The bodhi tree conjured by Yuan Xiang's 16 sariras were unable to resist against the powerful suppressive weight of the Kun Peng Pavilion. Like a fragile porcelain device placed under a mountain, it shattered into fine dust in an instant.

Lin Feng rotated his shoulders and withdrew the Kun Peng Pavilion. He captured Yuan Xiang and the monk and left the place immediately.

In that moment, however, Lin Feng realized that he had alerted the Golden Roc Grand Sage. If he did not attempt to conceal his whereabouts immediately, he would soon be discovered.

Not far away, the three demonic saints encircled and battled the Virtuous Zen Master. They too discovered Lin Feng's existence almost immediately and were collectively shocked. "No one discovered his presence. Who exactly is he?"

This question perturbed the Golden Roc Grand Sage too, who was located in the center of the world. His gigantic body trembled and his piercingly bright gaze flashed. "Eh, interesting."

Next to him, a Golden Feathered Great Roc asked, "My Emperor, who do you think he is?"

The Golden Feathered Great Roc said, "From his powers, he appeared to be similar in level to the Kun Peng."

The Golden Feathered Great Roc next to him said solemnly, "As far as we know, no Kun Peng had entered this world. Furthermore, after you used the suppressive powers of this Middle World unless the Kun Peng has a Third Level Undying Demon Soul he should not be able to move so freely."

"Earlier on, the attempt to revive the Immemorial Kun Peng failed and half of his body was brought by the Kun Peng Tribe while the other half fell into the hands of a human."

The Golden Roc Grand Sage said slowly, "The Master of the Celestial Sect, Lin Feng."

"Exactly, the Golden Crow Grand Sage was suppressed by him too," said the Golden Feathered Great Roc. "Legend has it that his mastery is extremely deep and profound. His origin is mysterious and no one knows who he actually is."

The Golden Roc Grand Sage said calmly, "That's no an issue. As long as he is in the Middle World, we will have a chance to meet him."

"Heavenly Wheels, you should move too. Go and capture all of our preys, but leave the Master of the Celestial Sect, Lin Feng, alone for now. We'll deal with him later."

The Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc paused for a while and then said, "My Emperor, we should guard against the Qiong Qi Demonic Tribe. What if they turn?"

"The Qiong Qi is devious by nature. In their minds, there is no concept of glory or loyalty. They even view betrayal as something beautiful. In the tribe itself, violent civil strife is rampant. For such a tribe, we really can't trust them."

The Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc said it calmly, but he questioned the choice of the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage did not get angry. Instead, he said, "Heavenly Wheels, the Qiong Qis do possess any idea of loyalty. However, they are loyal to only one thing and that is power."

"Hence, under my flag, they will never have a chance to betray me. Because I, as their Emperor, is too powerful for them to betray."

His tone was calm and measured without any sense of arrogance. It was as if he was saying something that was completely natural, rather than bragging. That was because he was so powerful that he was filled with self-confidence.

The Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc bowed and said, "Yes, my Emperor." He extended his wings and flew into the white light tree canopy.

A black shadow flew past him and flew towards the Golden Roc Grand Sage. It was the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi.

The Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc did not stop but continued to fly. He flew into the canopy while the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi landed before the Golden Roc Grand age and smiled deviously, "The first one." He opened his mouth and spat out a black ball of light. A person sat within it.

The person's expression was exhausted and the starlight around him slowly extinguished. Still, they vibrated non-stop as he sought to fight against the demonic powers from the black ball of light. It was the Immortal Soul stage Imperial Envoy of the Great Qin Empire, the Stellar Holy Man.

The Stellar Holy Man looked at the giant roc that was akin to the entire world and his eyes betrayed signs of defeat. "It is a world-dominating giant demon!"

The Golden Roc Grand Sage looked at the Stellar Holy Man and lightly nodded his head. His left eye began to shine and a tiny black dot flew out from within. The black dot expanded continuously as it turned into a plate that's about 100 li wide.

On the plate, many arcane carvings could be seen. They twisted and intersected with one another and at the center of the plate, it was sunken in like an indent. Everywhere on the plate other than the center indent was divided into 9 equal boxes.

The Stellar Holy Man did not have any time to speak before he was placed in one of the boxes.

The black ball of light of the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi disappeared. The Stellar Holy Man sought to escape but the box around him suddenly brimmed with golden light, locking him in.

The Stellar Holy Man then sought to use his Immortal Soul avatar and turn into a bright, glittering milky way of stars. However, he was unable to escape from the golden light.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage started to make a strange sound. It sounded like an ancient, primal shriek.

The glittering milky way started to twist and turn before it returned to the shape of the Stellar Holy Man. He was no longer able to use his Immortal Soul avatar.

The Stellar Holy Man's face betrayed an expression of pain as the golden light that trapped him shot into the skies and turned into a giant, thick rod of light.

In the next instant, the giant rods of light began to change. From the original gold, it turned into seven different colors. It appeared unbelievably demonic.

In the middle of the light pillar, a blaze danced non-stop. The light pillar and the blaze could be seen by everyone in the Cloud Forest World.

Lin Feng, who had just suppressed Yuan Xiang and obtained his 16 sariras, saw the light pillar in what appeared to be the center of the white light tree canopy. He gently arched his eyebrows and thought, "The light pillar and the blaze make me uneasy."

As he thought about it, he suddenly felt a powerful mana appearing nearby. However, it was no longer one of the three demons that encircled the Virtuous Zen Master early on.

The powerful aura appeared to come from a demon with a Second Level Undying Demon Soul.

Before his eyes, treasure light flashed as a pearl dashed out from the white light tree canopy. The pearl appeared translucent. One could only see its general outline but not its concrete shape. It appeared to have been formed by clouds

The pearl expanded and a human shape came forth. It was Yan Mingyue of the Great Void Sect.

Behind Yan Mingyue, a powerful demon aura shook the thick canopy and giant beast rushed out.

Lin Feng looked to the beast and realized that while it appeared to be a dragon, it had no scales. Instead, it was clad in feathers and two wings extended from its back, covering the sun in the sky. It had the head of an eagle and the body of a dragon. As its four claws slashed through the air, it conjured the wind and thunder in a truly fearsome spectacle.

"The Deep Sea Dragon Hawk?" Lin Feng recognized the origin of this demon almost immediately. It was one of the powerful underlings of the Golden Roc Grand Sage and belonged to the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk Tribe. It had a Second Level Undying Demon Soul and was respected in the Barren Expanses.

Looking at Yan Mingyue, he was taken aback by her bravery. She dared to face a Second Level Undying Demon Soul with only a First Level Immortal Soul. She abandoned her human form and used her Immortal Soul avatar to fight, which was a black and white ball of Yin-Yang gas.

With the help of her magic treasure, the Heavenly Imperial Jade, Yan Mingyue's Immortal Soul form churned in the air. While it was restricted by the Cloud Forest World's suppressive powers, it was still able to manipulate the void. It turned into a Yin-Yang hole and swallowed the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk.

As black and white intertwined and spun, it was as if it sought to grind the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk to bits.

The Deep Sea Dragon Hawk extended its claws and stopped Yan Mingyue's powers. Tearing at it, it was able to destroy the tiny world in the Yin-Yang hole.

"Invert Yin and Yang and may the two poles turn in reverse directions," Yan Mingyue chanted slowly as the Yin-Yang symbol that was being torn apart by the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk began to spin in opposite directions. It turned into chaos and then sought to blow itself up to stop the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk's attack.

If it's any other time, Yan Mingyue may have chosen to continue battling the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk. However, a Qiong Qi and a Golden-Feathered Great Roc rushed out from the white light tree canopy.

The power of the Middle World continued to suppress her and she dared not stay for long. Rushing towards Lin Feng, she said, "Let's go!"

Just as she said it, a powerful demonic aura came straight towards her. Then, they Long Ye, clad in white robes and bare-footed, and another female, clad in a bright red dress, rushing out from the white light tree canopy.

Following behind them tightly were six demonic saints, led by the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi.

Lin Feng and Yan Mingyue looked at them and nodded slightly with a tiny hint of a smile at the corner of their lips.

Chapter 452: Unrivalled Beauties

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Regardless of whether it was Yan Mingyue or Long Ye, Lin Feng had a special relationship with both of them.

They were friends and yet enemies. While they cooperated, they planned for the day when they would fall foul of one another.

Together, they tricked others. However, if just one of them wasn't careful, they would be tricked as well.

As to the relationship between Yan Mingyue and Long Ye, they were purely enemies. Strictly speaking, the only time they had cooperated with one another was the battle to the death they had 10 years ago. As a result of that, both of them nearly died.

However, because of that fight, both of them were able to break through their bottlenecks and reached the next level of cultivation.

For something that was so mutually beneficial, the two of them cooperated in such a terrible way. From here, one could infer the relationship between the two. During that battle earlier on, had just one of them been slightly weaker, the other one would not have hesitated to kill off the other.

However, now that both of them were trapped in the Cloud Forest World and was trapped by the hunt of the Golden Roc Grand Sage, everyone was now a prey. Without needing any interaction, Yan Mingyue and Long Ye cooperated to defeat their common enemy.

The Grand Sage of Qiong Qi expelled a black ball of light and Long Ye arched her eyebrows slightly. She flicked her five fingers and balls of eerie blue light flew towards the black light, blocking it like a screen.

However, the black light penetrated through the screen of blue light. It did not destroy the Eerie Blue Light Screen but instead caused it to turn black.

Looking at the scene, Lin Feng thought darkly, "The natural ability of the Qiong Qi Demon Tribe is indeed difficult to deal with. Like the Blood River Primordial Water, it specialized in corrupting an enemy's mana or demonic powers."

Long Ye's Eerie Blue Light Screen was completely corrupted by the Qiong Qi Grand Sage. It turned black and then turned towards Long Ye.

The originally white light tree canopy appeared to have turned instantly into the darkest of nights. One could not see the sun in the sky but only an unending blackness.

Long Ye did not seem to resist. Instead, she turned around and brushed past Yan Mingyue as she charged towards the other demonic saint the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk.

Yan Mingyue appeared to have turned her attention away from the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk. She spun her magic treasure, the Heavenly Imperial Jade, and thick white clouds stopped the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi.

The Heavenly Imperial Jade turned into layers of white cloud. It was not big in size, or at least it could not compare to the size of the clouds the Great Zhou Empire's Immortal Soul stage Special Imperial Envoy Cheng Yun Holy Man's Immortal Soul stage avatar.

However, the cluster of white clouds was dense and did not scatter. They blocked Yan Mingyue from the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi's black screen.

The two sides clashed together with neither side willing to compromise. The white clouds were unable to break through the black light screen while the black light screen was unable to move forward. The world before them was split into white and black, two equal and obvious halves.

What caught Lin Feng's attraction was the fact that the Qiong Qi Demon Tribe's signature move of corrupting other's moves and mana was unable to taint the Heavenly Imperial Jade's white clouds.

Yan Mingyue then used her Immortal Soul avatar and turned into the dual gases of Yin and Yang and flew into the white clouds.

The white clouds began to churn immediately and the clouds began to split apart. A giant palace appeared from the clouds. It was as if the Nine Heavens Divine Palace appeared into the mortal realm.

The Heavenly Imperial Jade derived its name from the center of the heavens itself, where the Heavenly Emperor reigned.

The white light tree canopy around them began to vibrate and crumbled to pieces. The thick tree leaves and branches began to withdraw gradually.

The Divine Palace was unbelievably majestic. It was bigger than even Lin Feng's Kun Peng Pavilion.

With the appearance of the White Clouds Divine Palace, the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi's black light screen was instantly destroyed. The Grand Sage of Qiong Qi roared in anger as a strange rune on his forehead brimmed with light. His entire body appeared to be covered by the black ball of light as he collided with the Heavenly Imperial Jade's White Clouds Divine Palace manifestation.

As a ray of black light and a ray of white light collided, an entire part of the world trembled. They fought once again as both the black light and the layers of cloud exploded in all directions and a frenzied force spread in all directions, seeking to destroy everything.

On the other hand, Long Ye helped Yan Mingyue to stop the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk. A mysterious blue light covered her eyes.

Her two hands came together and a ball of blue light appeared before her. Long Ye then flicked the ball of light and immediately, thousands of different spells were injected into the ball of blue light.

The Deep Sea Dragon Hawk that was charging towards her suddenly stopped. He focused his gaze on Long Ye and said, "The Hunyuan Demonic Code?"

Long Ye did not answer but the ball of blue light before her turned darker and darker. A ball of blue light no bigger than an inch suddenly felt unimaginably heavy.

It could not simply be described as heavy, as it was not heavy in the material sense. Instead, it combined a limitless amount of space, eons of existence and the consciousness of all creations. It combined an entire portion of the universe and the world. That was where it got its weight from.

Lin Feng looked at Long Ye's ball of light and was surprised too. This was the first time he actually saw Long Ye fight. The Hunyuan Demonic Code was no ordinary mantra. It could create a tiny world that was more perfect than Lin Feng's own Celestial Small Worlds.

It was similar to Lin Feng's connection with Mount Yujing, the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds that allowed Lin Feng to use the entire mountain as a weapon.

While there was a difference in power, it appeared too similar to Lin Feng's merger with Mount Yujing and other two. It was very close to creating a world by itself.

In the dark ball of light, time appeared to turn backwards. All creations appeared to recede back to the moment when the universe was first created, and then the explosions began. The power of creation and destruction rushed towards the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk.

Regardless of Lin Feng or Zhu Yi, both of them created their own tiny worlds to trap their enemies within it and then destroyed the tiny world to simulate the destruction of heavens and earth to hurt their enemies.

However, Long Ye did not even need to trap her enemies within the world. Instead, she could directly obtain the power of destruction and direct it at her opponent.

This was the Great Tao Spiritual Penetration of the Hunyuan Demonic Code, the Disruptive Original Demonic Light of Silent Destruction!

Faced with Long Ye's attack, even if the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk possessed a Second Level Undying Demon Soul mastery, he did not dare to be careless. He roared and then changed form.

The feathers on his body disappeared. What replaced them was a layer of glossy, black scales that resembled black crystals.

In the heaven-shaking roar, the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk shed all of his avian traits. From appearance, he resembled a true dragon.

His entire body and from within one could hear the roar of the sea. A portion of the void was destroyed by him and then it completely changed its form. Limitless amount of waves gurgled where white light once was. The Deep Sea Dragon Hawk turned into a glossy, black dragon as he descended upon a giant wave onto the Middle World.

The Deep Sea Dragon Hawk faced Long Ye's Disruptive Original Demonic Light of Silent Destruction and all of the scales on his body trembled. Instantly, all of his aura went into an overdrive.

His own Demonic Energy, combined with the Spiritual Energy of an endless ocean and the spiritual energy of the Cloud Forest World, trembled. Lin Feng and the other bystanders could feel their own spiritual energy trembling too.

It appeared that with all these powers, he summoned an apocalyptic tsunami that would bring about the extinction of all mankind. It charged towards Long Ye's Disruptive Original Demonic Light of Silent Destruction.

The power of the clash, in compared to the clash between Yan Mingyue and the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi, was just as strong.

Lin Feng looked and nodded his head, "Possessing a First Level Immortal Soul and a First Level Undying Demon Soul and being able to resist against a Second Level Undying Demon Soul without suffering any loss. They could truly be called the unrivalled beauties of our world."

However, for the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi and the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk, this battle was not against some high-level opponent. Instead, it was a hunt, as raw and bloodthirsty as it could get. Hence, they did not have any intention to fight alone.

The few demonic saints around began to encircle them. Evidently, they sought to win with numbers.

Lin Feng arched his eyebrows. He did not know what the Golden Roc Grand Sage wanted to do and he was not interested in fighting with the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi or the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk. Hence, he squeezed the spot between his eyebrows as the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds began to spread.

Yan Mingyue and Long Ye looked at each other, and without having to say and taking advantage of the fact that the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi and the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk were distracted and that the other demonic saints had yet to catch up, jumped suddenly into the thick purple clouds.

Lin Feng silently permitted them. Right now, their main opponent was the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

Yan Mingyue and Long Ye, the two mortal enemies, were able to cooperate on this matter. He himself naturally would not a temporary alliance.

Lin Feng looked at the woman in bright-red cloth with Long Ye with a strange expression and thought, "This Demonic Power... could it the brown-clothed granny?"

While he was slightly shocked, there was no doubt that this stunningly beautiful woman in red, who appeared no older than 20 or 30, was the wizened old granny in brown from earlier on.

At that moment, she was surrounded by two Demonic Saints. Without panicking or rushing, she began to dance and turned into a bright red bolt of light cutting through space.

A colorful red fog began to spread in the white light, Lin Feng noticed that whenever the red light touched a tree, its glow would fade and its leaves would wither.

It was akin to poison.

That was no ordinary life and no ordinary tree. They were personally controlled by the Golden Roc Grand Sage and connected with the life force of the entire Middle World. It was akin to a part of the Middle World itself. However, faced with the colorful fog, it withered and died. This meant that a part of the world was literally being destroyed.

Such a poisonous fog was indeed terrifying.

The red-clothed woman turned and looked at Lin Feng and smiled coyly, "Please bring Long Ye away first, I will follow. Thank you, Master Lin."

"What do you mean you will follow? We can leave together," Lin Feng arched his eyebrows as he thought, "You are deliberately..."

He then thought, "Wait a moment, could it be that..."

Lin Feng furrowed his eyebrows and without saying anything, the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree shot out the Seven-Colored Treasure Light and cut through the void. The Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds enveloped Long Ye and Yan Mingyue and broke through the encirclement.

The Grand Sage of Qiong Qi and the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk sought to stop them, but they were blocked by the woman in red.

Lin Feng's last sight was the woman changing form again. Her sexy and seductive face suddenly became plain and ordinary and her red robes turned white. From her appearance, she aged 10 years.

In the blink of an eye, the young red-robed woman became a middle-aged woman clad in white.

However, she became even more powerful and terrible. The colorful fog that came from her body turned white.

Chapter 453: The Ultimate Move of the Holy Demonic Emperor - Hades' Dark Mantra

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

In comparison to the colorful fog, the white fog did not appear very eye-catching.

However, facing the white fog, Lin Feng felt alarmed. Even though he wasn't the target of the white fog, but his heartbeat increased. When the group of demons saw the white fog, all of their hairs stood.

Even the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi and the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk, both of whom had a Second Level Undying Demon Soul, were afraid.

That was what Lin Feng last saw before he left. Afterwards, the sigh before him changed into a swirl of colors and he entered the void, disappearing instantly.

When Lin Feng had stopped moving, he was still in the middle of the white light tree canopy. He recalled Mount Yujing and the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree. While this power was able to break through the suppression of the Cloud Forest World, it was also easily identifiable by the Kun Peng Grand Sage.

Yan Mingyue and Long Ye were engulfed by Lin Feng's Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds early on and did not witness him recalling Mount Yujing back into his soul. At such a critical point, they did not dare to use their mana to investigate but instead, allowed Lin Feng to bring them along to wherever he wanted to go.

However, the two of them were rather shocked. After the Golden Roc Grand Sage had controlled over the consciousness of the Cloud Forest World, not even the Guanchong Swordmaster, Shi Zongyue or the Sirius Grand Sage could move about freely. However, Lin Feng appeared completely unaffected.

The two of them, however, kept their questions to themselves.

"The person just now, was it the Parasol Fairy?" Yan Mingyue tucked her hair behind her ears as she looked at Long Ye with a half-smile on her face. "The most mysterious Demonic Saint under the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage who hardly ever wanders out. I can't believe she will appear in the Cloud Forest World."

Lin Feng looked at her, "The Parasol Fairy?"

Yan Mingyue nodded her head. "Correct. The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage's origin is highly mysterious and even the Great Void Sect knew very little about her. She has no clan members, but many powerful demons joined her cause."

"Some demons helped the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage in leading battles while others helped her to secure and rule a particular territory. These are her more famous underlings and are generally known as the strongest demons of the Barren Expanses, such as the Sirius Grand Sage. They are in no way inferior to the Ten Demonic Saints."

Yan Mingyue looked at Long Ye before continuing, "However, some of the demons are extremely secretive. Their origins are secret and they are under the protection of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. They hardly ever wander out and hence, very few humans know about them."

"Thus, no one knows how many powerful demons the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage has under her command."

"However, so long as they exist, it is impossible to have completely no news about them. For example, I know a bit about the Parasol Fairy. While she is mysterious and rarely goes out, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage respects her a lot. Her knowledge of medicine and poison is deep but she always operates behind the scenes. This may be the first time she takes the front stage in something."

Long Ye listened quietly before smiling, "Auntie prefers to think through things carefully before she does anything. Sister Yan may be slightly exaggerating."

She then laughed softly, "Actually, Auntie likes to go out alone and harvest her herbs. However, she does not announce her movements and hence, very few people know about it."

Lin Feng said quietly, "The Parasol Fairy, is she a plant-type demon?"

Long Ye nodded her head while Yan Mingyue said, "Earlier on, we had news that suggests the Parasol Fairy was originally a fungus imbued with bountiful spiritual energy that eventually became a Demonic Saint-level demon. Looking at her battling method earlier on, it appears that we are correct."

Lin Feng agreed to Yan Mingyue's explanation as he thought, "So she is a strain of poisonous mushroom."

A mushroom can be both poisonous and non-poisonous. Normally, the more brightly-colored a mushroom is, the more poisonous it is.

Initially, the Parasol Fairy took the shape of an ordinary granny. Her demonic powers did not appear as turbulent then.

However, once she took the shape of a red-clothed, beautiful young lady, she could unleash the full extent of her poisonous powers. Her poison was so strong that even Immortal Soul stage cultivators had to be careful in case they themselves were contaminated.

In reality, some plain looking mushrooms may contain the strongest poison. They may even be stronger than those brightly-colored mushrooms.

Hence, when the Parasol Fairy morphed into an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman clad in white, the poisonous fog she emitted was much stronger. Even the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi and the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk had to be extra careful.

"However..." Lin Feng arched his eyebrows as he noticed a problem. The Parasol Fairy could change her form and hence, her battling style.

Undoubtedly her white-clothed form was the strongest, but it surely had its downsides too. Lin Feng believed that she was unable to maintain her white-clothed form for long, and while the white poisonous fog may be strong, there were limitations to it as well. She may not be able to produce a lot or that it would be physically exerting for her to do so.

While her red-clothed form had a weaker battling strength, it was likely her default battling mode.

Hence, what about her brown-clothed granny form?

Looking at the situation, that was the form that the Parasol Fairy took most of the time.

As Lin Feng thought about it, while she appeared the weakest in that form, she was also the most relaxed in that form, despite the suppressive powers of the Middle World and the white light tree canopy.

In their group, in terms of mastery, the Sirius Grand Sage was the most powerful. In terms of type, both Long Ye and the Parasol Fairy were in the First Level Undying Demon Soul and both were plant-type demons. However, faced with the suppressive power of the white light tree canopy, they were not as relaxed as the Parasol Fairy.

However, when the Parasol Fairy battled against the Golden Roc Grand Sage's powerful underlings, regardless of whether she used the red-clothed form or the white-clothed form, she was evidently suppressed by the Cloud Forest World.

Lin Feng thought for a while before he made a deduction, "The brown-clothed granny form must possess a special trait."

He found her request to leave her behind strange too.

Yan Mingyue mentioned earlier on that the Parasol Fairy was one of the more reserved subordinates of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. Normally, she operated behind the scenes and would never take the front stage. Battling was not her forte too. This time, for her to enter the Cloud Forest World, she must have a purpose.

Lin Feng turned his head to look at Long Ye. The white-clothed young woman sat relaxed on a tree branch as her bare feet dangled in mid-air. She appeared extremely bored.

Noticing Lin Feng's stare, Long Ye laughed gently, "Auntie will be fine. The Golden Roc Grand Sage will not bear to kill her. She is extremely valuable in the entire Barren Expanses."

"Don't forget, however, that the Golden Roc Grand Sage is trying to get enough people," Lin Feng said expressionlessly. He then looked at Long Ye, "Now, is it convenient for you to tell me what plans do the Golden Roc Grand Sage have?"

Hearing Lin Feng's question, Yan Mingyue looked at Long Ye too. She too did not know what the Golden Roc Grand Sage was planning. While the Great Void Sect observed the demon world closely, demons still knew best about the politics of their world.

Long Ye smiled and said, "Uncle is not here. So, I'm able to tell you."

Lin Feng's heart twitched. How could he not have realized that while the Sirius Grand Sage was Long Ye's uncle, she would not seek his opinion if she was really set on doing something?

Long Ye looked at Lin Feng and then turned her gaze to Yan Mingyue before saying slowly, "The Golden Roc Grand Sage may be coveting something. Strictly speaking, it isn't exactly a material thing but instead, it's a spell."

"Spell?" Lin Feng and Yan Mingyue exchanged gazes. They did not say anything. The Golden Roc Grand Sage was a Third Level Undying Demon Soul demon with the power to upturn heavens itself. It naturally possessed a great amount of power. Furthermore, he possessed the innate ability of the Golden Feathered Great Roc Tribe. Even if one used the Hunyuan Demonic Code against him, success was not guaranteed.

For such a powerful being, what spell could he covet?

Lin Feng thought, "Wait a moment, in my impression, the Hunyuan Demonic Code was the second part of the most powerful mantra of the demons, the Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao. As the first part had been lost to time, the Hunyuan Demonic Code is known universally recognized as the premier spell of the demons."

"What could be stronger than the Hunyuan Demonic Code? Could it be the..."

Hence, he heard Long Ye say, "The Golden Roc Grand Sage wants the Hades' Dark Mantra."

Yan Mingyue's face turned heavy. She knew what that was.

Lin Feng had never heard of the Hades' Dark Mantra before. But he did not need to search the system, for he knew what 'Hades' was.

4000 years ago, during the calamitous battle between the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses, the last combatant to fall was the universally-recognized last Holy Demonic Emperor. Mortals called him the Hades Emperor. His full name was the Heavenly Sea Hades.

The Hades Tribe was the most mysterious demon tribe, but also the most terrifying. Once upon a time, they possessed the entire Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao and was able to rule over the Barren Expanses.

During that battle, the Heavenly Sea Hades fell and the entire Hades Tribe disappeared completely. Even the first part of the Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao was lost.

After the war, many powerful demons, including the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, hoped to be able to locate the Hades Tribe. However, they had been unsuccessful for the past 4000 years.

After the Heavenly Sea Hades had fallen, no Holy Demonic Emperor could take his place. The line of succession stopped.

The Hades' Dark Mantra was how the Heavenly Sea Hades dominated the world.

While this Holy Demonic Emperor had died, the human realm paid a terrible price.

The master of the Mount Shu Sword Sect and the abbott of the Great Thunderclap Temple both died in battle!

The master of the Great Void Sect was so seriously injured that he was forced to retreat from the world while the more than half of the Supreme Elder Council perished.

The Great Thunderclap Temple, where the bulk of the battling took place, was almost completely destroyed.

At that time, the Great Zhou Empire was only a small state next to the Great Qin Empire. The Great Qin Empire was much more powerful back then. However, during that battle, the Qin Emperor was killed and the royal house suffered massive losses. This then allowed for the Great Zhou Empire to rise in power till today.

Lin Feng looked at Yan Mingyue's expression and he knew the full extent of the Hades' Dark Mantra's power. He also knew what would happen if it fell into the hands of the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

Long Ye said quietly, "We also had news that the Golden Roc Grand Sage had found a palace that the Hades Emperor formerly resided in. While nothing was left in other palaces, he was able to find trace of the Hades' Dark Mantra in this one."

Chapter 454: The Parasol Fairy and the Holy Spirit Snow Dew

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Upon hearing that the Golden Roc Grand Sage had clues on where the Hades' Dark Mantra was, Lin Feng and Yan Mingyue fell silent.

Long Ye continued, "With these clues as his basis, he devised a secret spell to command the Hades' Dark Mantra to reveal itself once again. I don't know the specifics of this spell but legend had it that it required the sacrifice of nine Immortal Soul stage or Undying Demon Soul level power cultivators."

Long Ye turned her head to the white light tree canopy. There, a colorful light pillar reached out straight into the sky. A fire burned within the light pillar.

"That's the first."

Before she finished saying that, another pillar of light shot up into the sky.

Long Ye said hesitantly, "That's the second one. Auntie would not have fallen so quickly in battle. Someone else was captured."

Lin Feng and Yan Mingyue looked into the center of the canopy far away as they saw the second light pillar turn from gold to five different colors. Within the light pillar, a fire danced, sending chills into everyone's heart.

"Perhaps that is Sirius," Lin Feng moved his shoulders as he replied nonchalantly. Long Ye too smiled, "That's possible too."

Lin Feng turned his head to look at Long Ye, "Let's not talk about it he will succeed. If he does succeed, you and your master will be the most worried, right?"

With the rise of the powerful cultivators of the Barren Expanses, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage ranked number one. Her powers were as formidable as the mountains and rivers and everyone believed that she would be the Holy Demonic Emperor.

However, the Golden Roc Grand Sage was one of the few demons that could threaten the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. By buying over the Qiong Qi Demon Tribe, the Golden Roc Grand Sage was able to increase his influence once more. Obtaining the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation only further increased his powers.

If he were to obtain the Hades' Dark Mantra, his powers would rival, or even surpass, the powers of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage.

For human cultivators, the rise of the Golden Roc Grand Sage was a potential threat. For the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, it was no longer a 'potential' threat. It was an actual threat that directly endangered her.

Long Ye smiled slightly and tilted her head, "Yes, and that's why we're here."

Lin Feng exchanged a gaze with Yan Mingyue. While they said nothing, the two of them understood silently the implications.

When Long Ye and company entered the Cloud Forest World, they were not only after the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation. From the very beginning, they knew that the Golden Roc Grand Sage was in the Cloud Forest World.

Hence, Long Ye, the Sirius Grand Sage and the Parasol Fairy definitely did not have enough manpower. If they had no reinforcement, it was akin to walking straight into a trap.

If that's the case, then where's the reinforcement that the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage ought to have provided?

Lin Feng looked at Long Ye and then at the two light pillars.

In the center of the white light tree canopy, the Golden Roc Grand Sage stayed at his original position, unmoving. His two eyes were closed and he appeared to be saving energy.

A ray of black light suddenly appeared from the canopy and fell before the Golden Roc Grand Sage. It was the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi. He opened his mouth to spit out a black light ball. Inside the light ball, an old granny sat with her feet crossed.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage slowly opened his eyes and looked at the brown-clothed granny. "Long time no see, Parasol Fairy."

The Parasol Fairy, who took the form of an old granny, smiled slightly and replied, "Golden Roc Grand Sage, I hope you are fine."

The Golden Roc Grand Sage nodded his head slightly and looked at the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi. "Sorry to have troubled you."

He was not being polite as while many Undying Demon Soul Second Level demons could kill the Parasol Fairy, very few could actually capture her alive.

Only with his ability to corrupt, the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi was able to resist the Parasol Fairy's poison and capture her.

The Parasol Fairy looked at the plate on the ground and the nine boxes. Seven of them were empty while two of them had light rays shooting straight into the sky.

The source of the light rays appeared to be two human shadows. One of them was the Stellar Holy Man while the other was an old monk clad in lunar-white robes sitting in a lotus-style position. His expression was solemn. It was the Immortal Soul stage elder of the former Great Thunderclap Temple, the Virtuous Zen Master.

The Virtuous Zen Master sat in the middle of the circle and was kept in place by the light pillars. He closed both eyes as he chanted his Buddhist prayers non-stop.

The light on his body dazzled. But as soon as his body lit up the colorful light pillars extinguished them. Yet, it lit up once again.

Every time the light on the Virtuous Zen Master lit up, his weak body would change in appearance. He would take the shape of a golden Buddha with eight peacocks laying at his feet. In his right hand, he held a lotus and in his left, a bell. His expression was neither happy nor sad. Instead, his body gave off a bright golden light and he appeared majestic.

However, after the light was extinguished, his Golden Form would disappear and he would revert to his original appearance.

At this point, the difference in mastery was evident. The Stellar Holy Man was trapped by the light pillars and he just sat there with a pained expression on his face. He was no longer able to conjure his Immortal Soul avatar.

However, the Virtuous Zen Master was still able to struggle and conjure his Golden Form. However, he could only resist instead of stopping the suppression of the light pillars.

The Parasol Fairy sighed, "Must I suffer this too?"

The Golden Roc Grand Sage said, "If you are willing to submit to me, then you don't have to suffer this. If not, please go in and wait there too."

The Parasol Fairy thought for a while before replying, "I know what the Golden Roc Grand Sage covets. I don't know if I could use the Holy Spirit Snow Dew to exchange for my life."

Hearing the Holy Spirit Snow Dew, the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi opened his eyes wide.

The Holy Spirit Snow Dew was a particular treasure that both powerful demons and human cultivators coveted.

Legend has it that the Holy Spirit Snow Dew was extremely useful in helping Immortal Soul stage cultivators increase their mastery. With the Dew, they have a much higher chance of successfully advancing into the next level.

It has the same function for demons with the Undying Demon Soul. The function worked even better for them.

However, the Holy Spirit Snow Dew was exceedingly rare and few appeared in the world.

The Grand Sage of Qiong Qi, ignoring the presence of the Golden Roc Grand Sage, stared directly at the Parasol Fairy and said, "You are a plant-type demon. Could it be that you formed the Holy Spirit Snow Dew with your own mana?"

The Parasol Fairy said nothing but her face said it all.

The Grand Sage of Qiong Qi looked at the Golden Roc Grand Sage, whose appearance was neutral and calm. The Golden Roc Grand Sage then looked at the Parasol Fairy and said slowly, "Even if you hand over the Holy Spirit Snow Dew, I cannot allow you to leave and return to the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage."

The Golden Roc Grand Sage was an Undying Demon Soul Third Level demon. He did not need the Holy Spirit Snow Dew many cultivators of his Golden-Feathered Great Roc Tribe could use it, along with many demons under his command.

The Grand Sage of Qiong Qi was a classic example. He was about to reach the peak of his Undying Demon Soul Second Level. Afterwards, with a bit of preparation, he could strive for the Undying Demon Soul Third Level.

However, the Undying Demon Soul Third Level was exceedingly difficult. Countless of demons sought it but very few succeeded. Even the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi with such talent and a strong foundation was not sure if he could reach the Undying Demon Soul Third Level.

It was possible that he may die in his attempts.

However, with the help of the Holy Spirit Snow Dew, his chance of success would have increased exponentially.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage would not mind his underlings becoming more powerful. He did not fear them threatening his position as he was confident that he would become stronger to ward off any potential challengers.

However, he could not allow the Parasol Fairy to help those under the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage become stronger. This had nothing to do with his self-confidence. Instead, it was the most fundamental concept of weakening one's opponent.

Even if he did not sacrifice the Parasol Fairy, he must capture her alive. He would never let her go.

The Parasol Fairy appeared to have understood. She nodded her head and said, "I only hope that it can save my life."

She closed her eyes and her form started to change. No longer was she the red-clothed young woman nor the white-clothed middle-aged woman, she turned from a brown-clothed granny to a young maiden in yellow.

The yellow-robed young maiden looked no older than 12 to 13 years old. She's not particularly pretty but brimming with the vibrancy of youth.

The Parasol Fairy stood with both hands behind her back in her new form. Her eyes were closed and an aroma came from her body.

The aroma was light and not strong. However, it relaxed all who smelt it. Even the Undying Demon Soul Third Level Golden Roc Grand Sage could feel it too. At his level, very few spiritual medicines had any effect on him.

The effect on the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi was even stronger. The simple and pure aroma triggered the image of a door in his mind. Behind the door were the secrets of Tao.

"She really did manage to create the Holy Spirit Snow Dew with her spiritual energy. It appears that the source of the Holy Spirit Snow Dew is the true form of this demon, a mushroom imbued with spiritual powers."

The Grand Sage of Qiong Qi stared at the Parasol Fairy. His two dark demon eyes flashed with light and they appeared bottomless.

The Parasol Fairy stared back at him in her new form. On a forehead, a snow-white droplet of water no bigger than a thumber appeared.

This was the famous holy medicine of the Grand Celestial World, the Holy Spirit Snow Dew.

After she formed the Holy Spirit Snow Dew, the spiritual energy around the Parasol Fairy became evidently weaker. It was not because she expended a lot of her demonic powers, but it was because her very essence was diminished.

The Dew left the Parasol Fairy's forehead and flew towards the Golden Roc Grand Sage. She said slowly, "The Holy Spirit Snow Dew took a thousand years to form. I seek your forgiveness on this matter."

The Golden Roc Grand Sage looked at the Holy Spirit Snow Dew but he did not take it. Instead, he made it fly towards the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi.

The Grand Sage of Qiong Qi's eyes dazzled as he greedily took the Holy Spirit Snow Dew. He nodded furiously at the Golden Roc Grand Sage and said, "Thank you Emperor Roc for this gift. I will continue to hunt and I promise to catch all of them so that you can begin your sacrifice."

He turned into a bolt of black light and left the canopy. The Golden Roc Grand Sage looked at the Parasol Fairy and asked, "Parasol Fairy, would you still not bend your knee?"

The Parasol Fairy turned from the yellow-clothed maiden back into her brown-clothed old granny form. She sat cross-legged on one of the tree branches weakly and said, "The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage took care of me for thousands of years. I hope you understand, Golden Roc Grand Sage."

Unlike the Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc or the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi who referred to him as 'Emperor Roc', she continued to address him as 'Golden Roc Grand Sage'. This was enough to prove her point.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage did not force her but he just nodded his head and said, "What a shame." The branches around her began to glow white and they trapped the Parasol Fairy within. It was a temporary imprisonment. She was treated differently compared to the Stellar Holy Man and the Virtuous Zen Master.

In the canopy far away, Lin Feng, Long Ye and Yan Mingyue looked at the light pillars. Lin Feng asked slowly, "Since you believe that the Golden Roc Grand Sage won't sacrifice the Parasol Fairy, then he won't have enough offerings. Unless you are implying that the Golden Roc Grand Sage would offer one of his own underlings?"

Long Ye shook her head and said, "He won't do that."

Chapter 455: Pulling a Tooth from the Tiger's Mouth

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Long Ye said slowly, "The Golden Roc Grand Sage rewards loyalty. He will protect anyone who works for him and he definitely won't sacrifice them."

"If that's the case, then what would he do?" Lin Feng looked at Yan Mingyue. Including Lin Feng, there were 5 human cultivators in the Cloud Forest World.

3 Demonic Saints came to the Cloud Forest World with Long Ye. Including the Virtuous Zen Master, there were just 9 people.

According to Long Ye, the Golden Roc Grand Sage had to sacrifice 9 Immortal Soul stage cultivators and Undying Demon Soul stage cultivators to obtain the Hades' Dark Mantra.

Here, there was a hole for each carrot. They could not afford to have one fewer person. If the Golden Roc Grand Sage spared the Parasol Fairy, then who would fill the missing slot?

Furthermore, that was according to the most optimistic prediction where everyone was captured by the Golden Roc Grand Sage. If anyone managed to escape, then the shortfall would be greater.

Lin Feng thought for a while as the outline of an idea came to his mind. "The Golden Roc Grand Sage cannot predict the number of people who came into the Cloud Forest World. By sealing off the Cloud Forest World and then releasing the hound, he could at best secure the first batch of victims."

"Luck determines how many victims came in the first batch. Subsequently, he had to seal off the Cloud Forest World. If not, Long Ye and Yan Mingyue would be able to summon the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Great Void Sect over."

The only exception was the Virtuous Zen Master. However, he was the exception rather than the norm.

In one aspect, he was tricked into coming by the monk Yuan Xiang. They could not trick another Immortal Soul stage cultivator into entering the world in such a short time.

On another hand, after the Golden Roc Grand Sage managed to take over the Middle World, Lin Feng clearly felt that in a split instant the white light tree canopy was weakened. That was probably when the Golden Roc Grand Sage opened a tiny path to allow the Virtuous Zen Master in.

With many power cultivators eyeing for an opening to break into the world, such an act was extremely risky and the chances of a screw-up were very high. The Golden Roc Grand Sage could not ensure that he would be able to stabilize the world each time without a break-in by the other cultivators.

"Hence, including the old monk, we have nine people exactly. For the Golden Grand Sage, that should be a cause for celebration," thought Lin Feng. "If that's the case, then he should have made plans since the very beginning in case he could not get enough people."

Lin Feng even suspected that the Golden Roc Grand Sage could produce the Hades' Dark Mantra even without a single person. However, it would be vastly more difficult and he must expend a huge amount of time and effort.

Hence, the entrance of the many cultivators and demons into the Cloud Forest World was a huge help to him.

Lin Feng and Yan Mingyue exchanged a glance. He saw Yan Mingyue's eyes flashed and realized that they must have reached the same conclusion.

Long Ye looked at them and smiled slightly, "Guys, let us split from here. I've received word from my uncle. I'll be going off to meet him."

Lin Feng's pupils dilated. Strictly speaking, Long Ye was a demon. There was another level of separation between him and her as compared to him and Yan Mingyue.

However, everyone was in the same boat right now. Why was she so anxious to get off the boat?

Yan Mingyue tucked her hair behind her ears, looked at Long Ye and said smiling, "Is the Sirius Grand Sage near? Will you mind if we tag along too? The common enemy now is the Golden Roc Grand Sage. Together we stand, divided we fall."

Long Ye smiled, "That won't be very wise. Sister Yan is so pretty. My uncle may want to devour you."

Lin Feng could not control his laughter. He just realized that the Sirius Grand Sage was infamous throughout both the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses for one more thing.

The Sirius Grand Sage was the top 'sex wolf' (Translator's Note: This is a Chinese pun on the word 'pervert', which can literally be translated into 'sex' (色, sè) and 'wolf' (狼, láng). The pun lies in the Sirius Grand Sage being a wolf-type demon) in the entire Grand Celestial World.) His lust was as infamous as his bloodlust.

Yan Mingyue looked at Long Ye, shook her head, and said, "Aren't you fine?"

"That's because my master protects me. If not, my uncle would have devoured me too a long time ago," Long Ye said as she plucked her eyebrows. "This time, I'm not even sure if I could return 'intact' after this expedition with uncle."

Lin Feng's smile disappeared off his face. He quietly looked at Long Ye and said suddenly, "if you die, then you don't have to worry."

"Perhaps the Golden Roc Grand Sage has a plan to make up for the shortfall in manpower. However, the fewer people there are, the more difficult it will be," Lin Feng said calmly. "The old wolf said something that I agreed with. Since the Golden Roc needs us alive, a death on our side means that he will lose a potential sacrifice."

Lin Feng looked on calmly and without any expression. However, both Long Ye and Yan Mingyue could feel an ice-cold killing aura from him.

Lin Feng was not joking. This time, he actually considered murder because Long Ye's behavior was abnormal.

Just as what Yan Mingyue had said, this was the time for the two sides to join forces to fight the common enemy, the Golden Roc Grand Sage. If they had any disagreements, they ought to settle them after settling the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

Earlier on, the Parasol Fairy appeared to have surrendered a little too easily. Lin Feng worried that Long Ye and the rest were plotting some devious trick that they did not want to share.

While Lin Feng believed that their trick was aimed at the Golden Roc Grand Sage, Lin Feng believed 100% that after their trick had succeeded, they would direct their energy to Lin Feng and company.

Yan Mingyue looked at Lin Feng without saying anything. She then stood by his side as the two of them faced Long Ye.

Long Ye appeared unworried. Instead, she smiled slightly and said, "Master Lin, I almost forgot to tell you something."

"Sister Yan is most proficient in the art of swordplay. Her swordplay could be counted as the one of the top few in the entire Great Void Sect. Even the legendary Lin Daohan could not match her."

Lin Feng's killing intent disappeared almost immediately. In the end, he still chose to avoid an internal disagreement.

Long Ye's words contained too much information. If what she said was true, Lin Feng could not afford to kill her.

"Master Lin, take care. Sister Yan, take care too. We'll meet again soon." Laughing slightly, Long Ye slowly stepped back as her body turned into a ball of blue light and disappeared.

When Lin Feng decided to not kill her, Yan Mingyue followed naturally. She knew the extent of Long Ye's powers. If she really wanted to go, no one could stop her.

Yan Mingyue turned to look at Lin Feng and said with a smile, "Long Ye was too kind. My mastery in the art of swordplay is superficial. Master Lin Daohan is the true swordplay master. He helped me out with my techniques when he had time."

Hearing that, Lin Feng said, "You are too modest."

Here, from the center of the white light tree canopy, another massive golden light shot up into the sky. The gold then gave way to a spectrum of colors.

A fire burned in the center of the pillar.

"That's the third one," Lin Feng exchanged a glace with Yan Mingyue. He then said slowly, "I hope to make a trip to the center of the canopy. If you wish, you can leave."

Yan Mingyue's eyes flashed and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Would you mind if I tag along?"

Lin Feng said in a neutral tone, "That's up to you." He made his move first as he flew towards the center of the white light tree canopy with the three light pillars. Yan Mingyue followed closely behind.

As Lin Feng flew, he felt his soul connecting with Mount Yujing.

The sudden change in the Cloud Forest World after the Golden Roc Grand Sage took over it prompted Lin Feng to sever his mental connection with Mount Yujing. Hence, no one on Mount Yujing knew what was going on.

Zhu Yi pacified the second-generation disciples before sending back to do their own cultivation. However, the few immediate disciples remained on the mountaintop.

Lin Feng's soul appeared as a shadow on the mountain. Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao, Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan rushed forward immediately and greeted him, "Master."

"Today is your lucky day," Lin Feng smiled as he faced them. Xiao Yan and the rest could not help but look at each other with a stunned expression.

Lin Feng did not explain anything as he clapped his two hands together. The spell formation for the Two Elements of Creation Formation, the Kun Peng Pavilion, the Flame Dragon Celestial Armor and the Parasol Tree Wood Essence flew out separately.

The spell formation for the Two Elements of Creation Formation turned into a small ball of light as it flew into Zhu Yi's forehead. Without saying anything, Zhu Yi stood unmovingly as he tried to understand the full formation. As he had similar experiences before, he was a lot more relaxed at that moment. However, the Two Elements of Creation Formation was too complicated and he needed to devote all his time to understand it.

The Kun Peng Pavilion shrunk in mid-air before it became a regular, human-sized pavilion. It landed before Shi Tianhao.

Shi Tianhao ascended the pavilion and he pushed its gates open. Within the pavilion, Lin Feng's Steel Tree Avatar stood smiling at him.

The Flame Dragon Celestial Armor and the Parasol Tree Wood Essence flew before Yue Hongyan and Xiao Yan respectively. Lin Feng said, "One of you is still weak in mastery while the other one is severely injured. These two treasures are meant for your self-protection."

The Flame Dragon Celestial Armor strapped itself onto Yue Hongyan's body. Its form changed immediately as it turned into a soft armor fit for female wearers. It made Yue Hongyan appear more awe-inspiring and martial.

Yue Hongyan had yet to form her Aurous Core. With her current mastery, she could not activate the Flame Dragon Celestial Armor. She depended mainly on Lin Feng's Avatar of Ares to activate it.

Xiao Yan received the Parasol Tree Wood Essence. Immediately, he could feel it brimming with vitality and life. He felt a fire burning within it, which then caused the three primordial fires within him to stir.

He did not dare to test it out with his mana but instead, he lifted his head to look at Lin Feng. Lin Feng smiled and said, "Keep it and don't be rash. It'll help you."

"The two of you, follow Tianhao into the Kun Peng Pavilion. At the right time, the Kun Peng Pavilion will send you to the right place. There, remember to hunt for treasure separately."

Lin Feng looked at Shi Tianhao and Zhu Yi and said, "When the time is right, I'll send the both of you off Mount Yujing. Then, you must make the most out of the situation."

After they had heard Lin Feng's instructions, they nodded their heads in unison and said, "Yes, master."

Shi Tianhao smiled and asked, "Master, what goodie are we getting this time?"

Xiao Yan too asked curiously, "Master, you mentioned earlier that all the cultivators in the Cloud Forest World are in the Immortal Soul stage. Even if we have a few treasures with us, how do we pull the tooth from the tiger's mouth?"

Lin Feng smiled, "Soon, you'll know."

Chapter 456: The Hunt Continues

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Yue Hongyan looked at Xiao Yan and the others and then asked quietly, "Master, Third Senior and Fifth Junior are not on the mountain..."

Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, "No worry, they won't be missed out."

He looked at Yue Hongyan, Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao and Zhu Yi and said with a smile, "However, it's up to you if you could obtain this treasure."

"Once the time has come, I'll help you out."

The disciples nodded their heads in agreement and Lin Feng's projected consciousness shimmered. He left Xiao Yan and appeared in Miao Shihao's residence.

Upon seeing him, Lin Feng asked immediately, "Who has the highest level of mastery in the Great Void Sect?"

Miao Shihao looked at Lin Feng and was just about to smile cheekily. However, upon hearing Lin Feng's question, Brother Shihao's body became pencil-straight and his expression turned serious.

He thought for a while before saying slowly," It should be the Supreme Elder of the Great Void Sect, Yun Yuanzhen."

Miao Shihao thought for a while before adding, "If there is anyone else, or if someone is hiding their level of mastery, then I can't be sure."

Lin Feng repeated the name, "Yun Yuanzhen?"

Miao Shihao nodded his head and said, "The master of Yan Mingyue and one of the major heads of the Great Void Sect. He is a Third Level Immortal Soul stage cultivator and is also the youngest Supreme Elder of the Great Void Sect. Earlier on, he battled with the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage for supremacy. However, he reputedly lost by a tiny bit. After he returned to the Great Void Sect, he devoted all his time to raising Yan Mingyue."

Lin Feng fell into silence for a while before asking, "What is the relationship between the Mount Shu Sword Sect and her?"

Miao Shihao shook his head and replied, "This, I do not know. To the best of my knowledge, Yun Yuanzhen and Yan Mingyue both cultivate the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void and dominate with this particular mantra."

"The Mount Shu Sword Sect focuses only on swordplay. The swordplay technique of Yan Mingyue and her master had its foundation on the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void and was known as the Great Void Dual Polarity Mystic Sword Mantra. It is immensely powerful, " Miao Shihao described. "Other than that, the Great Void Sect has another swordplay technique based on the Mantra of the Great Oblivion. It is known as the Heavenly Sword of Oblivion."

A terrible look crossed Miao Shihao's face as his lips twitched, "While Brother Shihao despises the useless fools of the Great Void Sect, but I have to admit that their Essentials of the Great Void Tao is indeed the best mantra in the entire Divine Lands. It's all-encompassing and brimming with wisdom."

"Swordplay is not the forte of the Great Void Sect, but regardless whether it's the Great Void Dual Polarity Mystic Sword Mantra or the Heavenly Sword of Oblivion, they both surpassed the all six of the Mount Shu Six Passages of Sword. I believe that only the most powerful treasure of the Mount Shu Sword Sect, the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi, can beat them."

Lin Feng nodded his head. He too had heard of the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi. It was widely recognized as the strongest swordplay technique in the Divine Lands and was the most powerful thing possessed by the Mount Shu Sword Sect. However, it was extremely difficult to master. Even the sword masters of all six of Mount Shu Six Passages of Sword could not master it.

Excluding the supreme elders of the Mount Shu Sword Sect who had already retreated from the world, everyone knew that only the master of the Mount Shu Sword Sect can master the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi.

Miao Shihao smiled crookedly, "The Radical Faction of the Great Void Sect covets the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi of the Mount Shu Sword Sect."

Lin Feng nodded his head as his outline faded to nothing.

Miao Shihao relaxed and returned to his usual state. Lying on his body, a smile crept over his face, "Hee hee, when master asks questions like this, he must have something in mind. Those useless fools from the Great Void Sect have something coming for them."

Lin Feng's consciousness left Mount Yujing. He turned his head slightly and noticed Yan Mingyue looking at him.

"Master Lin has a plan?" Yan Mingyue smiled at him and asked as she tucked her hair behind her ears.

Lin Feng said, "Some ideas, but I still need to see how things go. To call it a plan may be premature."

As he said that, two more pillars of golden light shot into the sky from the canopy ahead of him. They turned multi-colored and a fire burned in their centers.

Yan Mingyue mumbled, "Now there are 5 pillars."

Lin Feng nodded his head silently as he continued to fly towards the white light tree canopy. As he approached, the suppressive powers of the Cloud Forest World became stronger and stronger.

"Here's fine," Lin Feng stopped as he stared silently at the five pillars in the middle of the tree canopies. Near the pillars, he could see the shadow of a golden-feathered great roc that had its wings outstretched, as if it was ready to fly.

A voice sounded, "Since you are here, why not take a step forward?"

The voice was extremely plain but it sounded like thunder. It shook all four directions and appeared present everywhere. It appeared to slice through the entire Cloud Forest World.

Yan Mingyue looked down and said quietly, "If we walk forward one more step, then the Golden Roc Grand Sage will be able to lock onto our locations immediately. Right now, he can only sense that we are the border."

Lin Feng said, "While he controls this Middle World and he had taken over its consciousness, he needed to devote his energy to resisting the external attempts at intruding into the Cloud Forest World. Hence, with such pressure, his control over this world is imperfect."

"Furthermore, a Middle World is humongous. He does not have the ability to turn the entire world into his body."

Yan Mingyue looked at Lin Feng, "Do the developments up till now fit well with Master Lin's plans?"

Lin Feng retorted, "If you know the answer, why do you ask?"

"While I know that Long Ye, the Sirius Grand Sage and the Parasol Fairy have their own plan, I don't know what the plan is," replied Yan Mingyue frankly. "Prince Anliang, the Guanchong Swordmaster and the Stellar Holy Man all stopped communicating with me too. I'm afraid they had fallen to the Golden Roc Grand Sage."

Lin Feng said calmly, "This is what I predicted. The crux of their plans lies with the Parasol Fairy."

Hearing that, Yan Mingyue nodded her head. "The Parasol Fairy has always been mysterious. No one what knows what secret move she has. If there's a massive change, I believe that it would depend mainly on her."

Lin Feng looked at the five pillars of light far far away and smiled, "I am interested in finding out what is the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage's plans."

In the center of the canopy, the Golden Roc Grand Sage stopped moving after he said that bit just now. After he noticed that neither Lin Feng nor Yan Mingyue replied, he did not pursue the matter anymore. Instead, he turned his head to look at the side.

Over there, the Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc and the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk, together with another Second Level Immortal Soul Golden Feathered Great Roc and the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi, stood together. Behind them, the white-clad, barefooted Long Ye stood silently.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage said slowly, "In my impression, you are the last Celestial Jade Tree of the Barren Expanses."

Long Ye smiled and said, "Not exactly the last, but the other Celestial Jade Trees have yet to turn into demons."

The Golden Roc Grand Sage nodded his head, "Through the wolf, I also know that it's impossible to obtain the Hunyuan Demonic Code from you. If that's the case, then there's nothing more to say."

Using his mana, he lifted Long Ye up and threw her into a square box below. She occupied a box by herself.

There, the Virtuous Zen Master, the Stellar Holy Man, Shi Zongyue, the Guanchong Swordmaster and the Sirus Grand Sage were all imprisoned.

In comparison to Virtuous Zen Master and the Stellar Holy Man, the other three were a lot more relaxed despite the suppression by the light pillars.

Shi Zongyue and the Guanchong Swordmaster were Second Level Immortal Soul cultivators. They had cultivated the Secret Manual of the Five Imperial True Dragons and the Guanchong Sword respectively, both of which were the top mantras of their fields. They were immensely powerful. The Sirius Grand Sage was also a Second Level Undying Demon Soul demon who had cultivated the Hunyuan Demonic Code. Their powers were all roughly similar.

However, they still fell to combined attacks of the four Second Level Undying Demon Soul demons of the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

Furthermore, the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi possessed a powerful weapon in the form of the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation. In another place, there was still a possibility of a battle to the death. However, in the white light tree canopy and under the suppression of the entire Middle World, they could only surrender.

Shi Zongyue was depressed. Looking at the smirk on the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi's face, he was further enraged.

The Qiong Qi Demon Tribe had a bad relationship with the Great Qin Empire. Shi Zongyue had battled many times with the Qiong Qi Grand Sage. Other than the defeat in the Sea of the Northern Wind where the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation forced him into a corner, he had never been this soundly defeated.

The Guanchong Swordmaster sat within the light pillars. His eyes were ice-cold and his face appeared to have frozen over.

The Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc looked and him and said, "If the Shaoze Swordmaster was here, he may be able to break through the suppression of the world like the Master of the Celestial Sect with his Shaoze Sword and move about freely. However, your Guanchong Sword is not cut out for this."

The Guanchong Swordmaster did not rebut him. Instead, he continued to stare coldly at the Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc.

The Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc looked back at him calmly and said, "Today, you should feel honored to have been captured. At least you can help our emperor with his great work."

In the square next to the Guanchong Swordmaster, a big hunk clad in a black fur robe snorted, "What a joke, you are saying that Lei Yuan is fit to declare himself an emperor?"

The Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc turned to look at the hunk expressionlessly and said, "Sha Yu, the biggest joke is one whose bark is worse than his bite."

The hunk leered back his blood-red eyes. It was the Sirius Grand Sage. He opened his mouth to reveal a mouthful of white teeth as he smiled devilishly, "Lei Yuan just reached the Third Level Undying Demon Soul, that's true. However, he is nowhere as powerful as my senior. If my senior hasn't proclaimed herself empress, what right does he have to do so?"

The Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc said quietly, "Time is the best judge. Look at you, you were once arrogant, violent and wild. Now, look at yourself again."

"Hee hee!" The Sirius Grand Sage laughed coldly. "The Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation is indeed a good thing. I bet old Qiong Qi here can't afford it even if he sells everything he has. The Golden Feathered Great Roc helped him to acquire it, right?"

"I dare to fight even with Lei Yuan, what more about you?" The Sirius Grand Sage looked at the Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc and continued, "Without the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation, I bet I can beat all four of you. Heavenly Wheels, how do you think you stayed alive just now?"

The Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc looked at his right wing. A bald patch was evident in the middle of his golden feathers. That was inflicted by the Sirius Grand Sage. Despite the suppression of the Middle World and their combined attack, they were unable to handle the Sirius Grand Sage. Finally, they used the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation to defeat him.

"Sha Yu, you are indeed powerful," said the Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc in agreement. "However, that cannot change your fate."

Throughout the exchange, Long Ye had been sent down to the plate and she occupied a square too. Soon, she was imprisoned by the pillars of golden light. A sixth golden pillar shot into the sky.

Shi Zongyue and the Stellar Holy Man both had serious expressions.

Long Ye and the Sirius Grand Sage exchanged a glance as a smile crept onto their faces.

Chapter 457: Let the Sacrifice Begin

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Golden Roc Grand Sage looked silently at the six pillars of light and the six fires burning within each pillar. Then, he looked at Long Ye and the Sirius Grand Sage in the squares below and finally, the Parasol Fairy who was trapped on a tree branch.

The Parasol Fairy still took the shape of an old granny as she stared at Long Ye and the Sirius Grand Sage with a worried look.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage raised his head to look at the world that had been engulfed by the sea of white light. His gaze appeared to permeate through the void.

Beyond the Cloud Forest World, a group of powerful cultivators stared intently at the sealed Middle World.

Through the void, the Golden Roc Grand Sage could see an imperial delegation dazzling with purple and gold light. Heavy, majestic, ferocious and severe, they seemed to hold the fate of a country in their hands.

On the other hand, there was another shadow dazzling with golden light. From it, one could hear the growl of dragons. In the golden light, the colors white, azure black, red and yellow turned and spun about.

Faced with these two powerful forces, the ancient sword floating in the blackness of void appeared ordinary. It was no longer than three inches and exceedingly plain. A sword aura, faint and not quite present, was pointed at the Cloud Forest World. It did not burst forth, but it made the Golden Roc Grand Sage feel as if it was dangling over his head.

In the direction opposite of the ancient sword, a white mist floated about in the spatial turbulence. There appeared to be an eye watching the Cloud Forest World from the cloud.

The eye brimmed with vibrant emotions. It was filled with the love of life itself and full of warmth, affection and joy.

While the Tao is emotionless, the Tao still has emotions. The owner of the pair of eyes had already reached the highest level of oblivion.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage knew that these powers were soul projections of the strongest cultivators from the Great Zhou Empire, the Great Qin Empire, the Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Great Void Sect respectively.

Their powers were all concentrated on the Cloud Forest World, desperately preventing it from being swept away by spatial turbulences. The Golden Roc Grand Sage may have stopped their entry but after Yan Mingyue and the rest established contact with them they were all able to find their way.

The Cloud Forest World, unlike Mount Yujing, was unable to move freely. It belonged in the void and followed the flow of the void. Its movement could be predicted, and the Golden Roc Grand Sage could not shake them off his tail. He may have to face them sooner or later.

If this persisted, it would not be long before the major powers break into the Cloud Forest World.

Other than the human cultivators, there was another person who was at the border of the Middle World and prepared to enter at any time.

The shadow, almost phantom-like, was clouded by a layer of deep fog. One could not see her face but the Golden Roc Grand Sage knew that it was the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage and the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage gazed at each other through the borders. Quickly, the Golden Roc Grand Sage looked away.

He looked at the round plate before him and cried out loudly and brightly. Arcane runes began forming in mid-air.

"Without the three of them, we can still go on." After the long cry, three bright, dazzling runes appeared on his forehead. Each was stronger than the other and they all carried some arcane secret with them.

Light dazzled on the runes and each rune was akin to a mystical comet falling onto the world. Their powers were boundless and as heavy as the heaven and earth themselves.

The entire Cloud Forest World trembled and the runes rubbed against each other ceaselessly in space. Then, they started disappearing one-by-one.

The Parasol Fairy, who was enveloped by white light, sighed as she looked at the scene, "So that's it. If he lacks a powerful sacrifice, the Golden Roc Lei Yuan would use his own navagrahas as replacements."

"However, this means that he can be fully assured that the Hades' Dark Mantra that he summons would come under his full control. He can control it like his fingers. With the Hades' Dark Mantra, he will gain so much more despite losing some of his navagrahas."

A demon who had formed his First Level Undying Demon Soul would be able to enjoy eternal life and possess a powerful demon soul.

After successfully forming his original true spirit, a Demonic Saint would be able to move the navagrahas and completely merge with his Undying Demon Soul. If he succeeded and the navagrahas merged with his Undying Demon Soul, then he would have reached the Third Level Undying Demon Soul.

Only after successfully cultivating one navagraha and merging it with his demon soul could he have the power to cultivate more navagrahas.

Between the navagrahas, there were differences in power and hence, it did not mean that the more navagrahas you had the more powerful you would become. It still depended on the type of navagraha too.

However, these three navagrahas were evidently not the limits of the Golden Roc Grand Sage's powers.

The Sirius Grand Sage fell silent and Long Ye looked at him and thought, "While he cannot compare against Master, the Golden Roc Grand Sage is more than a match for uncle."

After the Golden Roc Grand Sage released his navagrahas, they descended into the plates and immediately occupied the last three squares.

The plate trembled slightly and three thick pillars of light shot into the sky, matching the six pillars of light from earlier on. Together, the nine pillars of lights were a majestic sight to behold. Rising in the middle of the white light tree canopy, every single pillar of light had a flame burning within.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage began to recite ancient incantations which contained sounds not found in the language of the Golden Feathered Great Roc Tribe. This was a mysterious, ancient language that no one had heard of.

A blast of desolate, ancient and immensely aggressive power began to envelop the Cloud Forest World.

As the power spread, it instantly forced everyone on-site to bow their heads. The Grand Sage of Qiong Qi, the Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc and the other demons were all slightly shocked. Their eyes began to give off a burning bright light.

They steadied themselves and readied their minds. However, they could feel a rising, uncontrollable palpitation in their hearts.

The other First Level Immortal Soul demonic saints all bowed their heads in submission.

This included the two Qiong Qis under the command of the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi who had already formed their Undying Demon Soul.

Shi Zongyue and company who had been suppressed by the light pillars all began to grimace in pain. The light pillars that caged them in burned intensely bright and every single one of them started to thicken in size and become bigger and bigger. They appeared to be squeezed tightly together and they all started coming together.

At the final moment, the nine pillars of light became on. It was a thick golden pillar of light whose diameter was more than a 100 li (50km) wide and occupied the entire plate. It penetrated through an entire corner of the world.

Near the edges of the canopy, Lin Feng and Yan Mingyue looked at the scene. Yan Mingyue said, "He did not need everyone to start the ceremony, but I believe he'll incur a massive price."

Lin Feng furrowed his eyebrows and said, "Why is he in such a rush to start the ceremony instead of spending more time to search for us? He controlled the Middle World and while the Middle World would be penetrated sooner or later, it's still rather stable right now. He still has much time."

Yan Mingyue thought for a while and said, "Perhaps Long Ye and the rest activated their plan already and caused an unforeseen change that forced him to start his ceremony?"

Lin Feng fell silent and said nothing. His gaze was fixated on the giant light pillar and he noticed the ball of fire within the pillar moving to the center of the sky. Then, it turned into an eye-dazzling bonfire that burned fiercely.

However, the fire did not warm him. Instead, it made his flesh crawl and a cold sweat broke out on his skin. He felt as if a massive calamity was about to befall.

The color of the bonfire was red at first, but it slowly turned purple like an ill omen.

Lin Feng looked at the fire burning in the sky. It then slowly descended and headed towards the source of the light pillar.

"Time is almost up," Lin Feng calculated in his heart and his body flashed. He flew towards the center of the canopy.

Yan Mingyue looked at Lin Feng without saying anything.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage had started the Holy Fire Sacrificial Rites which could not be interrupted. If not, it would cause massive damage to everyone. However, the Rites had not reached its most important part.

Looking at the Golden Roc Grand Sage maintaining his control over the Middle World, one knew that he still had additional powers left.

When the Rites reached its most important part, the Golden Roc Grand Sage would naturally devote all his energy to it. At that point, his control over the Cloud Forest World would diminish. That would be the best time for the other cultivators to come crusading in.

Both Lin Feng and Yan Mingyue knew this principle. However, not only did Lin Feng choose to head towards the center immediately, Yan Mingyue followed behind him closely.

In the center of the canopy, in the plate before the Golden Roc Grand Sage, the intense flames descended slowly into the indent in the center of the plate.

Around the fire, Long Ye, the Sirius Grand Sage, Shi Zongyue and company all wore expressions of pain.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Loud sounds came from the purple bonfire. They then grew in volume as a wild and crazy energy burst forth, shaking the Cloud Forest World at its very foundation.

Numerous runes flew about in the bonfire as they lit up the void. Falling onto every inch of space, they caused space to distort into a messy swirl of colors.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage's body was covered with these runes. They began to emit golden light as they started to sizzle together with the purple bonfire.

"Sizzle sizzle" With that sound, the purple bonfire appeared to have burnt through the void and turned it into a black hole in the sky. The flames burned weaker and weaker as the hole grew bigger and bigger.

Suddenly, an eerie and dark purple light came out from the black hole. A mist circled about itself and rays of holy light spewed forth. Amidst these, there was only a single ray of purple light. It did not appear very intense but an unspeakably terrible aura instantly swept through the world.

The entire Cloud Forest World trembled in fear because of it. Not only were the First Level Undying Demon Soul demons terrified, even the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi and the other Second Level Undying Demon Souls demons were cloaked in horror and fear. In the depths of their souls, they quivered. A terrible power made them unable to even raise their heads.

It was only a ray of light but no one dared to look at it straight. It appeared as if the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse had come.

Chapter 458: Time for Action

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The black hole within the plate continued to shrink in size as increasing amount of light shot out from the black hole. From the start, it was only a tiny ray before it turned purple. Rays of mystical clouds continued to spew forth as originally terrifying power became stronger and stronger.

Within the nine boxes, Long Ye, Shi Zongyue and company appeared worse and worse.

Shi Zongyue, the Guanchong Swordmaster and the Sirius Grand Sage appeared extremely weak. Long Ye had returned to her original form as a Celestial Jade Tree while the Virtuous Zen Master was no longer able to conjure his Golden Form. The Stellar Holy Man was in the worst shape; he was almost dead.

While they were extremely weakened, not only did Long Ye and the Sirius Grand Sage who had known about this beforehand, but also Shi Zongyue and company, recognized the source of the purple light coming from the black hole in the center of the plate.

The purple light grew in intensity as it became increasingly eye-catching. It shook the entire Cloud Forest World as its terrifying power spread and caused the very Multiverse to quiver.

The Guanchong Swordmaster looked at the purple light with a terrible expression on his face. "The Hades' Dark Mantra!"

His status on Mount Shu was one of the highest and in terms age, he was one of the oldest cultivators in the Divine Lands. He personally experienced the war between Man and Demons all those years back and also witnessed with his own eyes the final battle at the Great Thunderclap Temple.

With his mastery then, the Guanchong Swordmaster stayed far away from the battlefield. He only battled with the other demon cultivators at the edge of the battlefield and was nowhere near its center.

Only Third Level Immortal Soul cultivators could battle there. For cultivators below that level, it was a killing field. Whoever tried to take a single step there would be killed almost instantly.

Even so, as he watched the battle from afar, the Guanchong Swordmaster could feel the terrible power of the Hades' Dark Mantra tearing apart the very heaven and earth.

He personally witnessed the Holy Demonic Emperor using the Hades' Dark Mantra to directly force his way into the Divine Lands. It literally tore the sky open like a deep cut.

Afte the Guanchong Swordmaster saw the terrible purple light tearing open the void, he then saw it wreck chaos throughout the void as it destroyed numerous worlds.

He personally saw a Middle World destroyed by it.

With the power to bring about doomsday, the Guanchong Swordmaster's former master, the Master of the Mount Shu Sword Sect and the most powerful sword cultivator of the Divine Lands, was killed. At that time, it shook some of the Guanchong Swordmaster's core beliefs.

4000 years had passed and the Hades Emperor had fallen. The Hades Tribe had disappeared without a trace and the first part of the Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao was lost. The Barren Expanses never saw a next Holy Demonic Emperor or the Hades' Dark Mantra again. During the final battle at the Great Thunderclap Temple, this powerful mantra was lost.

The memories of all these were slowly fading in the Guanchong Swordmaster's mind. Today, however, the Hades' Dark Mantra appeared before him once again. Then, he realized that the purple light had already turned into his nightmare. He would never forget it.

Shi Zongyue's gaze became unspeakably serious too. He stared at the demonic purple light in the black hole that was becoming stronger and said, "The Hades' Dark Mantra. It really is the Hades' Dark Mantra. Only it could give off such power!"

Many years ago, Shi Zongyue was only a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. He was nowhere near the Guanchong Swordmaster's mastery and could not even participate in the Battle of the Great Thunderclap Temple. Under the protection of his seniors, he watched the whole battle from afar as a learning experience.

However, that day was like Judgement Day. The Hades' Dark Mantra ripped through the heavens while murdering living souls. He would never forget the power with which the Hades' Dark Mantra killed off the most powerful cultivators of the land.

Up till today, while Shi Zongyue had progressed from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator to a Second Level Immortal Soul cultivator, he was still shocked to the core when faced with this powerful purple light.

Of course, the purple light before him was unable to compare against the power that the Holy Demonic Emperor possessed all those years back. The Hades' Dark Mantra before him was just a shadow of its true self. However, the return of the Hades' Dark Mantra to the world was already shocking enough.

Even the weakened Virtuous Zen Master and the Stellar Holy Man opened their eyes wide and stared at the ray of purple light. They did not personally take part in the war all those years ago but they too had heard of the Hades' Dark Mantra. They knew what terrible power came along with it.

The Sirius Grand Sage stared at the Hades' Dark Mantra with a complicated expression. It was envy, desire, fear and aspiration all rolled into one.

He coughed and said, "Parasol Granny, it's time for action. if not, all of us will be sucked dry and then, we will truly have become sacrifices."

Long Ye's gaze shifted from the Hades' Dark Mantra and onto the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

His entire body was covered with runes which dazzled brightly. They rumbled together with the Hades' Dark Mantra in the plate.

Even if Lin Feng and Yan Mingyue continued to approach and allowed the Golden Roc Grand Sage to lock onto their positions, he probably would not care.

Lin Feng and Yan Mingyue were now at the periphery of the center of the canopy. They could feel a terrifying tremor from the purple light and were both deeply shocked.

Yan Mingyue took in a deep breath and said, "It really is the Hades' Dark Mantra. The Golden Roc Grand Sage had succeeded."

Lin Feng fell silent and said nothing. Suddenly, he looked at the ancient leaves beneath his feet and he stared at it intently without blinking.

After he saw nothing, his pupils contracted and he said, "They really did it."

Yan Mingyue followed Lin Feng's gaze and she exclaimed, "It's really up to the Parasol Fairy then!"

They noticed that a patch on the glowing white tree branch had turned deep-brown. It directly covered the white light and it appeared as if the ancient tree branch had shed a layer of skin. It was like a ringworm on a human's skin.

Looking at it carefully, an entire patch of brown mushrooms grew on that tree branch.

These mushrooms looked ordinary and did not brim with spiritual energy. Neither did they exhibit the bloodthirstiness of regular demons. Instead, they were just plain, brown mushrooms. However, they were able to completely remove the white light from the tree branch where they were growing on.

Lin Feng lifted his head and noticed that more brown spots were appearing. Initially, it was only a tiny dot but soon, it became an entire stretch. Finally, these brown spots combined together and covered the entire canopy.

The white light dimmed and the canopy level became a sea of brown. Every single ancient tree was now covered with brown mushrooms.

In the center of the canopy, a giant mushroom began growing. It extended through the thick canopy of the Cloud Forest Trees and was tall enough to cover the sun.

The stalk of the mushroom was extremely thick. It was much thicker than a single Cloud Forest Tree.

Lin Feng looked at this scene and realized, "So that's the Parasol Fairy's most powerful ability."

The Parasol Fairy was a mushroom-type demon. Like how a mushroom is shaped like a parasol, a mushroom contained numerous amount of spores in it. In the short time that she spent on the Cloud Forest World, the Parasol Fairy managed to spread her demon powers-imbued spores far and wide. It spread in the air and soon, covered the entire Cloud Forest World.

With a twitch of her heart, she was able to turn these countless spores into brown mushrooms. They were all like avatars for her. She could claim to possess tens of thousands of forms now.

With the help of these avatars, the Parasol Fairy was able to seize control over the Middle World from the Golden Roc Grand Sage!

A First Level Undying Demon Soul demon who had yet to form her original true spirit was actually able to seize control of the Cloud Forest World from a Third Level Undying Demon Soul demon who had formed a syncretic star soul. Such an idea was absurd to everyone.

However, the Parasol Fairy was able to pull it off. Furthermore, it appeared to be effective.

"This is the trump card of this demon and also its strongest power," said Yan Mingyue softly. "I'm afraid that throughout the entire Grand Celestial World, no one else could take over control of an entire Middle World with the level of a First Level Undying Demon Soul."

"No wonder the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage sent her to the frontline."

Demons were different from human cultivators in the sense that they focused on cultivating their tribe's innate abilities into powerful attacks. Many of their ultimate attacks were based on their innate abilities, such as the Tao Tie Tribe's 'Devour' and the Qiong Qi Demon Tribe's 'Corrupt'.

However, some of these ultimate moves were not meant for offense but they may have other uses. In the right time and place, using them would achieve miraculous results.

The Parasol Fairy was just like that now. While her battling abilities were not as good, she was able to fight for control over the Middle World with the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

Lin Feng stared at the huge mushroom and said, "Based solely on her own abilities, she could maybe occupy a Small World with her own powers. A Middle World would be more difficult. She should thank the Golden Roc Grand Sage for the dozens of Cloud Forest Trees that helped supplement spiritual energy which also made her job a lot easier."

"Other than that, she received help from the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage too."

At the center of the top of the mushroom, there was a ball of oddly-colored light. A mystical and vast power came from it. The demonic power that it exuded was similar to Long Ye's when she used the Hunyuan Demonic Code but much more powerful.

That was the original true spirit of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage that she had hidden within the Parasol Fairy's demon soul. If she had hidden it in an avatar, it would surely have been detected by the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

However, with that tiny original true spirit, nothing much would happen. Her mastery was way superior to that of the Golden Roc Grand Sage and by hiding that tiny bit in the Parasol Fairy's demon soul, she was able to fool him.

Here, the original true spirit kicked in. It successfully helped the Parasol Fairy to seize control over the Cloud Forest World from the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

She did not need to seize complete control. She just needed to mess it up for the Golden Roc Grand Sage and caused his control over the Cloud Forest World to drop. This would weaken the seal he had cast over this world.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage herself was outside and waiting for the exact moment to come rushing in!

The demons under the Golden Roc Grand Sage's command, such as the Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc, the Deep Sea Dragon Hawk and even the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi were all incensed beyond words. They rushed towards the Parasol Fairy.

At that moment, on the plate, the parts of the original true spirit of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage that was hidden in the Sirius Grand Sage and Long Ye both burst forth and were able to break free from the imprisonment of the light pillars. This interrupted the Holy Fire Sacrificial Rites.

In that instance, the Golden Roc Grand Sage's entire plan was derailed. Earlier on, he was brimming with confidence as he was about to bring the Hades' Dark Mantra back onto this world. In the next moment, he faced both external and internal troubles.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage looked towards the void as he noticed the seal he cast was weakening. The outline of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage became clearer and clearer.

Looking at this scene, the Golden Roc Grand Sage's ice-cold eyes dazzled with a demonic golden light. There was no panic or rage, but just a deep, deep chill.

Chapter 459: The Arrival of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Long Ye and the Sirius Grand Sage both revealed their true selves at this point.

The former turned into a giant tree whose bark was as white as jade. Her leaves turned eerie-blue and they dazzled in the light.

The latter turned into a giant black wolf that was about as big as a hill. His two pupils were like blood-soaked valleys.

In the depths of their demon souls, they each possessed a colorful light. That was the original true spirit of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage that helped them break through their restraints. However, neither Long Ye nor the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage tried to escape immediately after breaking free from their restraints.

They stayed where they were and instead, used the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage's original true spirit to grow the newly-formed Hades' Dark Mantra in the center of the plate.

Shi Zongyue and the rest opened their eyes wide in shock.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was truly greedy. Not only did she want control of the Cloud Forest World, but she also wanted to take away the Hades' Dark Mantra from the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

In the sky in the Cloud Forest World, the outline of someone slowly appeared. It attempted to break past the seal and enter the world. The outline was unclear but it emanated an ancient power that appeared to come from the moment of Creation itself. The outline was the most powerful demonic saint of the Ten Demonic Saints, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage!

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage did not rush to act after she broke into the Cloud Forest World. Instead, her demon powers vibrated and the space beyond the Middle World swirled messily. She re-sealed the Cloud Forest World.

After she broke into the Cloud Forest World, she immediately sealed it off again to prevent the powerful cultivators from the Great Void Sect and other major forces from coming in.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage stared at her coldly and said nothing. The Holy Fire Sacrificial Rites were still underway as the Hades' Dark Mantra became brighter and more powerful.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage's voice rang out softly. Like Long Ye's, her voice was low and gritty, "Lei Yuan, let me help you."

She landed on the giant brown mushroom that the Parasol Fairy had manifested into and the mushroom tremored.

Originally, the Golden Roc Grand Sage was able to cast his formation with the help of the dozens of Cloud Forest Trees. He turned the entire Middle World into a tree dazzling with white light.

Now, however, the world had turned into a sea of mushrooms. The mushrooms covered every single tree branch of the Cloud Forest World.

Under the manipulation of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Parasol Fairy's demonic powers increased significantly. She managed to force three Cloud Forest Trees from the world.

The Cloud Forest World twisted violently as the giant tree trunk that was implanted in the void began to shrink. The three Cloud Forest Trees began to leave their compatriots as they started to decrease in size. Soon, the Cloud Forest Trees returned to their original form.

While they were still big, extremely high and their canopies resembled forests, they were much smaller than when they were part of the world.

Lin Feng and Yan Mingyue both saw this scene. Their eyes flashed as Lin Feng saw the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage reaching out with her hands. In that moment, her powerful demonic powers were akin to a giant hand. In one fell swoop, she grabbed the three Cloud Forest Trees.

Lin Feng had seen this giant hand once. It was this very hand that injured the Golden Crow Grand Sage and directly caused that demonic saint to go to the Divine Lands to vent his anger. When Lin Feng first saw it, he was in awe of it. He still was up until this day.

The three Cloud Forest Trees were covered completely with mushrooms. After the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage grabbed onto them, the mushrooms from two of the Cloud Forest Trees disappeared completely. She then threw them into the plate where the Hades' Dark Mantra was being formed.

The Two Cloud Forest Trees brimmed with radiance and then, they were injected into both Long Ye and the Sirius Grand Sage. The two demons reacted to them as if they had just taken steroids. Their powers increased exponentially. The power that they had lost during the Holy Fire Sacrificial Rites had returned to them, with excess for spare.

The excess was then contributed to the Holy Fire Sacrificial Rites.

Looking at this scene, Lin Feng and Yan Mingyue were stunned into silence. The Golden Roc Grand Sage sacrificed his own navagrahas for the ceremony so that he could increase his control over the Hades' Dark Mantra. Furthermore, he wished to conserve the Cloud Forest Trees so that he could bring them back to the Barren Expanses.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage did not care about it at all. Instead, she threw them into the fire as if they were firewood.

The remaining mushrooms on the last Cloud Forest Tree did not fall off. Instead, they turned into swirling light and the Parasol Fairy absorbed them. Her demonic powers increased exponentially afterward.

Shi Zongyue, the Guanchong Swordmaster and the rest looked on darkly. The appearance of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was good news for Long Ye and the Sirius Grand Sage. However, to them, that was useless. Regardless whether it was the Golden Roc Grand Sage or the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, they both sought to turn them into sacrificial objects.

With the appearance of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc and the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi no longer dared to attack the Parasol Fairy. They all backed off slowly.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage's ice-cold black eyes looked calmly at the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and then at the Parasol Fairy at her feet. He then said slowly, "Parasol Fairy, so this is your strongest ability. I was trying to guess how would you bring the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage here, but I never predicted that you would possess such powers.

The world rang with the Parasol Fairy's voice, which was both neutral and plain. "I must thank the Golden Roc Grand Sage for showing mercy earlier on. I feel slightly regretful."

The Golden Roc Grand Sage shook his head and said, "It's truly a shame that you won't fight for me."

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage did not look at the Golden Roc Grand Sage but instead, her gaze fell onto the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi. Smiling, she said, "E Chi, is the spell formation for the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation with you or with Lei Yuan?"

The Grand Sage of Qiong Qi's mouth twitched into a smile. "It's with me."

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage nodded her head and said, "You surely won't hand it over even if I asked. So I have no choice but to take it from you myself."

With that, she raised her hand and the terrible hand that seemed able to crush the stars appeared once again. It broke through space and rushed towards the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi.

The Grand Sage of Qiong Qi bellowed, "Good move!" He opened his mouth and a black ball of light flew out. It grew in space and turned into a humongous spell formation. In it, numerous runes and writings intertwined with one another. A deep, mystic power came from it.

A terrible power that seemed bent on destroying the very heavens and earth began to spread from it. It shook the entire Cloud Forest World and was in no way inferior to the Hades' Dark Mantra.

A giant opening opened in the sky and the blackness of space could be seen. Countless amount of stars dazzled in the sky and the most obvious ones were obviously the nine navagrahas. While they resided in space far far away from the Cloud Forest World, at this moment, they appeared unbelievably near.

Amongst the nine navagrahas, seven of them were unbelievably bright while the other two faded in and out of view. They appeared to be two shadows, but they still gave off a fearsome power.

The seven luminaries represented the Sun, Moon, Venus

Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Saturn while the two darker stars represented Rahu and Ketu (Translator's Note: Here, the author got his inspiration from Hindu cosmology). Together, they were the navagrahas.

Second Level Undying Demon Soul demons with the original true spirit would be able to cultivate the stars and absorb their powers. Depending on the navagraha they chose, their powers would be different. However, very few would choose to cultivate the Nine Luminaries.

That was because the power of the Nine Luminaries was much too powerful and endless. Those who cultivated the Nine Luminaries would have exceptional battling abilities but they would be unable to merge the Nine Luminaries with their demon soul, preventing them from ascending to the Third Level Undying Demon Soul.

Now, the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi wished to use the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation and borrow upon their powers. The material he used to cast his formation this time was much more powerful than what he had used in the Sea of the Northern Wind. The power of the increased exponentially till he dared to use it to battle the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage.

In the formation, the nine balls of light sunk slowly in place in correspondence to the nine luminaries in the galaxy.

The Grand Sage of Qiong Qi then activated the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation as Venus began to glow brightly. From the formation, a powerful blast of light, platinum in color, shot out. It was akin to a divine sword slicing through the heaven and earth as it aimed itself right at the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage's palm.

Lin Feng, watching from afar, could feel a sharp aura coming towards him as if it wished to slice him to bits.

Looking at it carefully, he noticed that the white blast of light comprised many complicated levels of spell formations. Every single formation was imbued with unbelievably sharp essence. It was like an indestructible sword radiance.

The white pillar of light was unbelievably concentrated and hence, the space before it began to shatter and pitch-black darkness ensued. It appeared invincible.

"The first attack of the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation borrowed upon the power of Venus to destroy. An apt choice indeed. No wonder it was able to destroy the spell formation that the Great Qin Empire cast over the Sea of the Northern Winds earlier on," Lin Feng sighed. "Now, the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation exceeded the power level of a Second Level Undying Demon Soul demon and could easily battle a Third Level Undying Demon Soul demon."

Saying that, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was unbelievably fierce. With her terrible hand, she grabbed onto the pillar of white light just like someone grabbing onto a blade.

Frenzied energy then began to tear the space around them apart. As the white pillar of light was seized by the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, it fell dim immediately. It was like watching a powerful sword being turned into a useless, rust-caked metal rod.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage did not escape unscathed however. The giant hand that was a manifestation of her powers was riddled with wounds from the manifestation of the power of Venus. The hand looked terribly mangled.

Initially, when she attacked the Golden Crow Grand Sage, he was sent flying with just one move and while her palm was burned by the Golden Crow Grand Sage's Grand Sun Primordial Flame, it was like being burned by a match.

However, the hand now was filled with scars. If it was made out of flesh and blood, then it would have been a bloody sight to see.

To achieve such a result, the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi should be happy. However, he could not feel joy as his face turned more serious. The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was able to resist the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation alone, even when the latter was imbued with the power of Venus.

Looking at the scene, Lin Feng furrowed his brows and then smiled.

"The Golden Roc is truly a difficult foe to deal with."

Ever since the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage's arrival, the Golden Roc Grand Sage kept silent. He continued to cultivate the Hades' Dark Mantra almost as if he did not mind her interference. He did not even care that all his efforts may be used to benefit her.

She too did not care about the Golden Roc Grand Sage. It was as if she believed that her counterpart would concentrate on cultivating the Hades' Dark Mantra.

After she grabbed the white pillar of light, she stopped suddenly. She wasn't afraid of the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation, but rather she turned her head to look at the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage looked at her too. His gaze was ice-cold as his wings began to flap. The Cloud Forest World trembled.

Chapter 460: First Mover's Advantage

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Golden Roc Grand Sage flapped his wings, causing the remaining dozens of Cloud Forest Trees to start twisting.

The trees were covered with the Parasol Fairy's mushrooms which were trying to suppress the abnormal developments of the Cloud Forest World.

While the Golden Roc Grand Sage's control over the world had been disrupted by her, he still possessed a massive amount of control.

Regardless whether it was the Golden Roc Grand Sage or the Parasol Fairy aided by the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, neither one of them could become the absolute master of the world if the other sought to undermine him/her.

Furthermore, the formation of the Cloud Forest World was set by the Golden Roc Grand Sage. If he wished to destroy it, there's nothing the Parasol Fairy could do.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage turned her head to look at the Golden Roc Grand Sage but she did not stop him. Her attention was concentrated on the Hades' Dark Mantra in the plate.

"Is it a success?"

Lin Feng and Yan Mingyue looked at the plate covered with light. In the black hole at its center, divine purple shone slightly as the terrifying aura calmed down. It was no longer as powerful.

This did not mean that the Golden Roc Grand Sage had failed. In fact, he had succeeded!

The divine purple light was the ultimate move used by the Hades Emperor all those years ago to dominate the world. That was the Hades' Dark Mantra.

After it had been formed, the Hades' Dark Mantra began to consciously retract its aura. It would only deploy its terrifying aura in battle.

Yan Mingyue looked at the Hades' Dark Mantra for a long while before saying slowly, "So that's it then. The Golden Roc Grand Sage expected Long Ye and the Sirius Grand Sage to mess about. He was also ready to begin the sacrificial rites without having all nine sacrifices present."

"He sacrificed three of his navagrahas to ensure his control over the Hades' Dark Mantra because he wanted to leech on the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage's power from the very start to form it."

"It appears that the Golden Roc Grand Sage was not fully confident that he could form the Hades' Dark Mantra. From the beginning, he counted on the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage's powers," Lin Feng said, nodding his head. "The Hunyuan Demonic Code of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was the closest remaining spell in the Barren Expanses to the Hades' Dark Mantra."

"That terrifying demonic light just now was the combined efforts of two supremely powerful demons."

Yan Mingyue's gaze shifted between the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage. "No wonder the Golden Roc Grand Sage did not panic when he saw the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage breaking the seal and coming in. This was part of his plans from the start. He specifically spared the Parasol Fairy to give her the key to the Cloud Forest World."

"The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage recognized this point, but she chose to go along with it for the Hades' Dark Mantra. She chose not to interrupt his cultivation process until he formed the Hades' Dark Mantra and instead, she went after the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi."

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed as he said, "Now that the cultivation had succeeded, the Golden Roc Grand Sage owns the Hades' Dark Mantra. However, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage obtains control over it too. Now, they two of them will decide for themselves who does it truly belong to."

With the successful cultivation of the Hades' Dark Mantra, everyone within the plate, except Long Ye and the Sirius Grand Sage whose powers were supplemented by the Cloud Forest Trees, particularly Shi Zongyue and the other human cultivators, wore pained expressions on their face. Their skin turned greenish-grey and their spirits were broken. They were like candle wicks that had almost been burned completely through and were about to be extinguished anytime soon.

Their Immortal Souls were all severely damaged and they appeared to be at the end of their lines, bordering on death.

The purple light slowly sunk into the black hole at the center of the plate. Looking at this scene, the Heavenly Charms Grad Sage slashed the air next to her instantly, a rip in space appeared.

In the rip, an immensely horrific demonic power came out. Those were the powerful demon cultivators under the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. The ones with the lowest mastery had at least an Undying Demon Soul. Many of them were demonic saints with their original true spirits.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage did not bring his powerful minions over from the Barren Expanses. If they were to fight full force, he would lose to the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage.

Hence, he used his own demonic powers to powers to destroy the formation that he had cast with the Cloud Forest Tree.

The thick trunks of the Cloud Forest Trees grow downwards as if it had entered into an endless void. At the bottommost part of the tree branches, space itself twitched and turned. It was almost as if ten light pillars had come together to form a single large pillar.

Now, because of the Golden Roc Grand Sage's movement, these tree trunks began to separate one-by-one. They no longer clumped together as they extracted themselves from the void.

The big and small Cloud Forest Worlds all started shrinking and returned to their original shapes and sizes. Looking at them now, the twist in the void that allowed Lin Feng and the rest to enter appeared once again.

The seal of the Cloud Forest World had been completely broken!

The Parasol Fairy sought to take over control of the Middle World and tap on the powers of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage to seal the world, but it was too late.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage did not want to fight the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage alone, so he turned it into a free-for-all.

For the powerful human cultivators of the Great Void Sect, the Great Zhou Empire and the rest, they would break into the Cloud Forest World at the slightest shift in power.

The Parasol Fairy ultimately was not a Third Level Undying Demon Soul demon who had a syncretic star soul. Before she was able to control the Middle World, the humans outside had already rushed in. The entire situation became chaotic!

At this time, Lin Feng moved.

His target was the dozens of Cloud Forest Trees. He rushed towards them. There, the Parasol Fairy attempted to re-form the giant tree by combining the Cloud Forest Trees. Lin Feng did not give her this chance as his body glowed with a bright, cold light and a powerful explosion sounded.

Wherever the light touched, the mushrooms on the trees started to crumble to dust as they retreated. None dared to stop Lin Feng.

"Go!" Lin Feng bellowed. Shi Tianhao, Zhu Yi, Xiao Yan and Yue Hongyan rode towards the Cloud Forest Trees using the Kun Peng Pavilion.

In the void above everyone's heads, a terrible aura could be felt as the human cultivators rushed into the Cloud Forest World.

The Hades' Dark Mantra, the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation and the Cloud Forest Trees were what they were all after.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage began to fight in earnest over the Hades' Dark Mantra.

At this very instance, Lin Feng acted first to his advantage.

The Kun Peng Pavilion swung its doors open as Zhu Yi, Xiao Yan and Yue Hongyan rushed out and landed on the closest three Cloud Forest Trees.

In that instant, the Parasol Tree Wood Essence suddenly gave off a strong power as an unlimited amount of hot spiritual energy surged into the trunks of the Cloud Forest Trees.

From afar, the intersection between the two turned red-hot as the red light spread in all directions. Very quickly, they covered the entire Cloud Forest Tree. Even the leaves were tainted by the red light.

Understand the protection of the Flame Dragon Celestial Armor, Yue Hongyan extended her two hands which became similar to dragon claws as she grabbed onto a tree branch and swung from it.

This would have been comical if not for the sudden burst of power from the Flame Dragon Celestial Armor that caused the tree to tremble.

This was because Yue Hongyan's mastery was still low. Had she been in the Nascent Soul stage, she would have uprooted the Cloud Forest Tree with help from the Flame Dragon Celestial Armor.

Shi Tianhao and Zhu Yi were more relaxed. The two of them operated the Kun Peng Pavilion and activated the Two Elements of Creation Formation. They managed to directly take one Cloud Forest Tree. The giant pavilion and the powerful spell formation were like two beasts that devoured the Cloud Forest Tree.

On the other side, Xiao Yan and Yue Hongyan were both able to shake the foundation of their Cloud Forest Trees. Shi Tianhao and Zhu Yi rushed to help them as together, they uprooted the trees and stored them.

Time was of the essence and Lin Feng was even more impatient. After he kept his powerful sword (Translator's Note: This refers to the sword borne by the maiden/woman), he touched his forehead as an unlimited amount of purple gas began to appear.

"Rise! Rise! Rise!"

Lin Feng waved his hand and the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds turned into a humongous hand. It grabbed three more Cloud Forest Trees as if it was grabbing a bunch of sticks.

There were a total of 18 Cloud Forest Trees. Earlier on, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage uprooted three and gave them to Long Ye, the Sirius Grand Sage and the Parasol Fairy. Now, only 15 were left.

After Lin Feng and his disciples were done, they managed to take 7 more. In an instant, they stole close to half.

However, in that short span of time, the sky split open and the many human cultivators rushed inside. They all saw what Lin Feng and company were doing.

"Put them down!" Many loud voices bellowed together, causing the Middle World to tremble.

As the clouds burned and a brilliant light shone, a shadow appeared. One could not see it clearly but one could feel that it was heavy, majestic, powerful and august. It seemed to be the manifestation of the powers of an absolute sovereign.

The golden light flew towards Lin Feng and his disciples. However, a sword qi moved even quicker.

The sword qi appeared to split the heavens and earth itself. It was born from the chaos of Creation and with a single cleave, it managed to split the heavens and earth apart and form the world.

Even the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage who were engaged in a life-or-death battle could not allow Lin Feng to make off with so many Cloud Forest Trees. The two of them each released a burst of demonic aura towards Lin Feng.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage conjured a dim ball of light to form a tiny world with her demonic powers. Then, she destroyed the small world and a light burst forth from its destruction. That was the Disruptive Original Demonic Light of Silent Destruction.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage moved even quicker. Speed-wise, even the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage could not match him. A golden feather dropped from his body and disappeared into space. Then, it appeared before Lin Feng.

It was a targeted assassination attempt that cut through space and time. Merging with the powers of time, even an Immortal Soul stage cultivator who could manipulate time was unable to its advance. Escape through the void was almost impossible.

In that time, confronted by the many attacks coming his way, Lin Feng's face was calm and neutral. He predicted everything and he had already kept his disciples within the Kun Peng Pavilion. With a final bit of effort, he plucked one more Cloud Forest Tree.

In the same instant, Mount Yujing, within his soul, trembled.

At this time, the Golden Roc Grand Sage's attack had already reached him!

Chapter 461: The Changes In A Single Moment

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Mount Shu sword Sect, the Great Zhou Empire, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

Four different powers lashed out at the same time to decapitate Lin Feng to prevent him from taking the Cloud Forest Trees.

The Cloud Forest Trees were a mutant breed of the Ginseng Fruit Tree, one of the most mystical trees of the world and also one of the Four Great Strange Trees. Even though the Cloud Forest Magical Fruit was not as magical as the Ginseng Fruit, it was still an extremely exotic and powerful magical fruit, and cultivators could receive multiple benefits from consuming them. Even one fruit had incalculable value.

Furthermore, the Cloud Forest Trees in the Cloud Forest World were all alive for millennia and had accumulated vast volumes of spiritual energy. The entire essence and life of the middle world was stored inside them.

Long Ye, the Sirius Grand Sage and the Parasol Fairy had previously absorbed a single trunk's worth of spiritual energy with the help of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. However, they were not yet able to digest and assimilate the spiritual energy, and simply stored them within their bodies for gradual digestion in the coming days.

The three Grand Sages of the demon tribes were prodigies in their own rights and were immensely powerful. However, to digest and assimilate a volume of power as great as the aforementioned was no easy task.

Long Ye and the Sirius Grand Sage were almost sacrificed on the spot. However, with the replenishment from the Cloud Forest Tree's spiritual energy, they bounced back with more vitality than ever.

There were now fifteen Cloud Forest Trees left, and Lin Feng along with his mass of disciples uprooted seven in an instant. Faced with an entire throng of elders, Lin Feng still harbored the thought to steal one more trunk.

If eight were to be uprooted from the original fifteen that means half of the Cloud Forest Trees would wound up in the hands of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Lin Feng immediately became something of a public enemy. Devastating attacks were directed at him from all directions, and Lin Feng became like a floating dinghy in the middle of raging tides and maelstroms. It seemed as if one tide was enough to sink him.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage's attack reached its target first. A streak of golden light crashed through space and approached Lin Feng with dazzling speed. Lin Feng did not even have time to escape into the void with Mount Yujing.

Lin Feng was extremely calm. In his consciousness, Mount Yujing trembled violently.

Clouds of purple energy enveloped Lin Feng within. Inside the sphere of purple energy, the top of Lin Feng's head opened up and Mount Yujing shimmered into sight along with the release of thousands of rays of clear light.

The white jade-colored mountain changed color all of a sudden. It became as transparent and clean as glass, and countless scenes and pictures began to materialize within the colorless mountain. The scenes were bizarre, and were changing continuously with spectacular color and brilliance.

The boundlessness of space, the limitlessness of the world and the unending quality of life were exhibited. There were many identical lives, but with different experiences and completely different destinies.

"Life and destiny changes in an instant. In the blink of an eye a thousand years has past."

The profound concept of power permeated throughout and around Lin Feng's body. Faced with the Golden Roc Grand Sage's attack, as well as the ferocious assaults of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the other powerful entities that were right behind the former, Lin Feng's body retreated quickly, broke open a whole in space and retreated into the darkness of the void.

The feathers of the Golden Roc Grand Sage, the Heavenly Charm Grand Sage's Disruptive Original Demonic Light of Silent Destruction, the earth-splitting sword Qi, the vigorous and intimidating golden light shadows followed closely behind.

The consciousness of all those powerful entities followed their mana and abhijnas into the void but quickly realized something was not right.

The scenes they witnessed was changing continuously and the stars were flickering in the sky. It seemed like the constellations were right in front of them, yet at the same time they were a million miles away. In an instant, they disappeared into nothingness, much like the unebbing and speedy flow of time.

Innumerable light illusions of flashed by in front of their eyes. Every illusion was Lin Feng, and they were immediately bedazzled and confused.

For powerful individuals like the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, they could tell with one look that all these were not actually illusions or holograms of some sort. They were not avatars either – every silhouette was Lin Feng himself in his physical body.

But there was only one miniscule moment in time when it was real.

"The changes of time, in a single moment!" The cold eyes of the Golden Roc Grand Sage flickered. He realized that the million silhouettes in front of him actually represented the infinite possibilities of change that time could bring in a single moment.

Every single one was real. However, it was only in that instant – that tiny and minute instant – where the what was originally real became false in the next moment.

This was not a naturally occurring phenomena, but rather of Lin Feng's making. He channeled the mystical power of Mount Yujing displayed all the changes. When he withdrew into the void, he not only opened a tunnel through space-time, he exploited the profound wisdom – of the infinite changes in a moment with the passing of time – and created a myriad of other tunnels.

Time was an infinitely gradual and prolonged eternity, yet at the same time it was also the shortest infinitesimal moment. Only when one had understood the extreme changes at both polar ends could one be considered to have understood this profound wisdom.

Yet, how many people truly understood the conundrum of an eternity versus the shortest moment?

When Lin Feng channeled Mount Yujing previously, he used the spatial power of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree. However, the physical existence of Mount Yujing actually contained the profound wisdom of time in its concept of power.

With the ever-increasing level of Lin Feng's mastery, the connection between Mount Yujing, the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds and the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree became much more intimate. He also managed to obtain a greater understanding of Mount Yujing, along with the ability to channel its power based on his newfound understanding.

When this abhijna was unleashed, sixty changes happened within the flick of a finger and continued to display unlimited possibilities.

As for powerful beings like the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the others, they had a varied understanding of the concept of time. The simplest was change in the shortest moment and this would not yet be a challenge for them as they would still be able to run it down.

However, Lin Feng was also channeling the spatial power of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree. The combination of space and time, along with Lin Feng's physical body and soul's integration with the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds, exhibited a scene of a kind of new world where there were uncountable possibilities.

The mutability of this new world were all displayed in an instant, and ended up causing the attacks of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the others to miss.

The several powerful beings' hearts all skipped a beat. Every single one of them had immense power, and yet when they attacked Lin Feng at the same time he still ended up dodging their attacks. This display of abhijna raised their level of wariness.

"So this is the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders? He is indeed impressive."

When Lin Feng reappeared from within the void, he had already vanished from the center of the battlefield of the Cloud Forest World.

After their initial miss, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage could not be bothered to chase Lin Feng anymore. The Hades; Dark Mantra, the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation and the Cloud Forest Trees were still there and they would not let themselves be distracted from these things.

Lin Feng watched the heart of the battlefield at the Cloud Forest Trees from far away. From what he could see, inexplicable volumes of violence erupted as forces clashed with each other and the sky itself seemed to split apart from the sheer pressure of everything, much like the end of the world.

He heaved a sigh of relief. "That was close. The exertion just now was far greater than clashing head-on with Mount Yujing. Heck, it was greater than clashing with Mount Yujing ten times in a row. It was equivalent to explosively unleashing my energy to the maximum – I almost lost control there."

Mount Yujing, the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds and the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree could handle the pressure but the exertion took its toll on Lin Feng's soul.

Time, destiny, space and soul – four entities came together as one, and when one part of it faced too great a pressure then the entire equilibrium would be shattered.

Lin Feng watched the battlefield from far away as he smiled to himself. "Alright, time to find second point of entry."

Everybody knew that Lin Feng was simply waiting for the opportunity to re-enter the fray. However, the complexity of the current circumstance caused all such opportunities to flicker like the blinking of eyes and they could hesitate.

The whole throng of powerful beings in the sky revealed their true form. The clouds in the sky rolled along, the cosmic vitality all around consolidated into physical form as layers of the void became the clothing as all these conjured a figure of a middle-aged man with a robe etched with a single white cloud.

Everything about this middle-aged man looked normal except for his attractive eyes. His eyes seemed to contain boundless emotion, and it felt as if his eyes contained all possible expressions and passions under the world.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage glimpsed at the middle-aged man and smiled as she said, "The Xuan Lin Holy Man – It's been a long time."

The Xuan Lin Holy Man was one of the members of the Supreme Elder Council of the Great Void Sect. His reputation was formidable and he was a third-level immortal soul stage powerhouse, and personally participated in the previous war of the two worlds.

He remained speechless even after showing himself, and immediately rushed towards the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage, who were engaged in battle with one another over the Hades' Dark Mantra.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage chuckled. On one hand, she continued to wrest with the Golden Roc Grand Sage for control over the Hades' Dark Mantra. On the other hand, she flipped her palm and a thick murky fog-like sphere appeared in the center, much like the kind from prehistoric times.

The Xuan Lin Holy Man abruptly stopped in his tracks as his passionate eyes sparkled. "The Tiny Chaos Curse of Possession?"

The fog-like sphere on the palm of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage did not dissipate as it flew towards the Xuan Lin Holy Man. It seemed light and without a single hint of strength, but in reality it was as dense as an entire world.

Everything around the sphere was being sucked within non-stop. Under the 'nourishment' from all the new things inside the sphere, the universe within the sphere began to grow.

However, if its real target, the Xuan Lin Holy Man, was sucked into the universe then this ancient universe would immediately reverse its course of development and return to its original foggy state, and eventually back into nothingness.

Even though the Xuan Lin Holy Man was in the third-level immortal soul stage, he did wish to take the risk of being swallowed whole.

His left eye began to shimmer with colorful brilliance. A transparent magic treasure with edges like mirrors flew out from within. Uncountable streaks of light shot out and immediately masked the Xuan Lin Holy Man in the plane above.

The space and plans layered together and formed something of a mirror, and every mirror reflected the Xuan Lin Holy Man's existence. Its mutability was endless, and real and unreal existed at the same time.

Lin Feng's eyes lit up from afar. The magic item that the Xuan Lin Holy Man unleashed was not simply a display of a space-time abhijna. It also embodied the meaning of the intense shortness of time within, and achieved a similar effect to what Lin Feng did with Mount Yujing.

The Xuan Lin Holy Man used the Thousand-Edge Flowing Radiance Mirror and locked down the Tiny Chaos Curse of Possession used by the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. As he did so, his body had already landed in front of the disc containing the Hades' Dark Mantra.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage shot a cold look at the newcomer and flapped his wings in a show of force. Once again, golden light flickered and broke the natural laws of the world they surged forward with bedazzling speed.

A small dot of light appeared on the Xuan Lin Holy Man's forward, much like a tiny round mirror.

This round mirror radiated and shimmered and it resembled the Sun's brilliance upon the whole world.

The Great Void Treasure Mirror of the Heavens!

The light reflecting from the mirror was like a gaze that contained endless emotions of all kinds – grief, happiness, fury – as it perceived everything that was before it. It felt as if the entire world's emotions, anything from elation to anger and bitterness to joy, congregated together and came crashing down.

From within this passion came a force that did not reflect any of the common emotions of the world. It was plain and tranquil, but felt like it had everything within its grasp and seemed to have the will of dictating the fate of the entire world.

The integration of emotion and emotionlessness into a single entity made it hard to distinguish between the two. It was like a divine figure with unconditional and endless love combined with a complete coldness that watched the world with indifference.

Once the light from the mirror shined upon him, the Golden Roc Grand Sage's speed as he crashed through space-time began to slow down. The feeling was much like he was under the watchful eye of the sky, and he was intimated and restricted.

During the battle outside Shazhou City, Pang Jie onced used the same technique against Lin Feng. However, the power of this technique in Pang Jie's hands was nothing compared to that of the Xuan Lin Holy Man.

Lin Feng was full of approval for what he saw. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat as he realized a dash of sword Qi was closing in towards him. It was the same fearsome sword Qi with a ferocity that could split the Earth from before. His adversary gave up the Hades' Dark Mantra and the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation and chased him all the way here!

Chapter 462: Saintly Celestial Sword Qi

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

They gave up the Hades' Dark Mantra, the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation and the Cloud Forest Trees and focused on running Lin Feng down.

When he discovered the movement of the frightening sword Qi, Lin Feng laughed under his breath. "That's really a sword cultivator."

The concept of power that the sword Qi embodied was extremely pure and simple – that is, to pierce through anything that was blocking it.

It was not the brutish and overbearing Shaoshang Sword, nor was it the clumsy and dignified Guanchong Sword. It was not the upright and calm Shaoyang Sword and neither was it the speedy and nimble Shaoze Sword. It was not the sinister and mutable Grand Moon Sword and neither was it the ruthless and sharp Lixiong Sword.

However, this sword Qi could easily transform into any one of the Mount Shu Six Passages of the Sword. It seemed like a seamless integration of the Six Passages of the Sword, while it seemed like the origin of them all at the same time.

It contained vast heaven-cleaving and earth-splitting power, and was also able to morph into thousands and thousands of other ways of the sword. It was the pinnacle of the unification of thousands of swordplay mantras, and was also the source of all swordplay under the sun – the beginning of them all.

When this sword aura first appeared back at the Cloud Forest Trees, Lin Feng already knew where it came from.

It was the Mount Shu Sword Sect's supreme and ultimate magic treasure, and the pinnacle of all swordplay – the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi!

In the sky above the Cloud Forest Trees, a green-robed middle-aged man perched in midair in the void. He had a clean and pale face, but his entire physical appearance was normal. Not a single trace of sword aura could be felt from his body, and the vibes he exuded was completely dissimilar to the Guanchong Swordmaster and the others.

In his hand was a long steel sword. It seemed like the kind of sword that can be purchased from any common armory or weapons dealer in the world. The most typical and normal sword was so casually pinched in his hand that, no matter how one looked at him, he was as normal as it got.

Yet, there was one exception.

That is, upon the tip of the normal longsword that he was so casually gripping with his hand was a tiny radiant point so minute and obscure that it was almost invisible to human vision.

There was only that one single point.

However, the miniscule radiance at the tip of the sword had an aura that was far beyond world-shaking and seemed to reach the ends of the earth.

This was a representation of a concentration of unrivaled energy to the highest possible point. The radiant dot was so dense with devastating power that it could possibly leave the entire world in ruins.

Lin Feng stared at single point of radiance with solemn and wary eyes. He was sure that if the green-clothed man wanted to, he could even make that single point obscure and withdraw every inch of his mana and sword aura.

Yet, even when it was just this single point that was exposed, an unstoppable and unending force seemed to flow from within. There was a feeling of extreme casualness, and this proved that this individuals control of power was beyond this world.

He was the current Leader of the Mount Shu Sword Sect, and a great sword cultivator of the third-level immortal soul stage – Xin Longsheng!

He glanced at Lin Feng calmly. He waved his finger and a streak of petrifying Saintly Celestial Sword Qi surged across the sky and ripped the void wide open – and it came straight for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng could feel very acutely the commotion within the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World. The fearsome sword inside the gigantic sword casing was howling and was getting ready for action.

However, he forcefully suppressed the disturbance from the fearsome sword and did not unsheathe it.

This was because Lin Feng could faintly feel that Xin Longsheng's assault was intended for the sword!

In Xin Longsheng's eyes, this sword was far more valuable than the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation, the Cloud Forest Trees and Hades' Dark Mantra.

Once he understood this point, ideas spun around in Lin Feng's head and instantly thought of a possible outcome.

He did not unleash the sword. Even though he released the catch on the casing, he still held down the fearsome sword. It became a scenario where the sword casing became something like a great beast with a gaping mouth that would swallow Xin Longsheng's frightening Saintly Celestial Sword Qi!

Shrill sounds came from within the sword casing. Even though it was simply the ringing of the sword, uncountable streaks of invisible sword Qi seemed to be released and was slashing around at the void in the immediate vicinity.

At this point, Lin Feng could vividly sense that the fearsome sword within the sword casing was going through unspeakable pain, yet was full of vigor and defiance.

It seemed as if it was going through torturous training of some sort, and because of this it had evolved and obtained a higher level of power.

If one were to say that the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi was the origin of all swordplay under the Sun, then there was no question that this fearsome sword was an exception!

The sword aura coming from this sword could be said to transcend the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi. There was an unspeakable terror within – one of world-destroying calamity, the collapse of eras and also one that ruined all destinies.

The Saintly Celestial Sword Qi provided much contribution to its process towards maturation. Just from the rigorous training provided by this streak of sword Qi was conspicuously greater than the help provided by the Golden Crow Grand Sage, who had spent so long under the casing.

Yet, the sword aura of this fearsome sword also provided the near-perfect and wholesome Saintly Celestial Sword Qi with another path to continue traversing on.

Lin Feng raised his head forcefully and peered towards Xin Longsheng. At the same time, Xin Longsheng's eyes was no longer plain and peaceful and became sharp like a sword and met Lin Feng's gaze.

The void in between the two of them became momentarily blur.

Just at that time, a ripple of tremendous energy crashed forward. In ten thousand feet of purple and golden light, a pavilion-like structure exploded forth from within the void and surged towards the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Golden Roc Grand Sage and the Xuan Lin Holy Man.

That power belonged to the Great Zhou Empire. When they missed their initial strike on Lin Feng, then they began to hide like Lin Feng and lay in wait for the prime opportunity. They made a move at the right time and went straight for the Hades' Dark Mantra!

In a cloud of overbearing and dominant purple-golden light, uncountable glyphs and talismans began flying around and spread all around. It looked like the Sun at midday, and was filled with royal dignity and pressure.

Under the dome of purple-golden light was an entire patch of pavilions big and small, skyscrapers, yards and balconies formed what seemed like a palace fit for a divine emperor.

Within the flickering light one could faintly observe the movement of innumerable shadows. Tens of thousands of citizens went on their knees in the palace and the consciousnesses of all the servants were concentrated together and were incanted upon the holy palace.

Above the throng of citizens were a myriad of powerful men of history and were on their knees in respect to the palace. Another bunch of countless energies gathered together to represent nature's order and the rule of law.

Many fairy illusions were pacing around between the pavilions. They were holding holy nectar and the like, as if they were receiving the divine spirit.

The most eye-catching of them all was something else, however. Above the pavilions and halfway in the sky were multiple human statues also crafted by light illusions. They rode upon the clouds and the mist, and seemed to control the weather – it was as if all the Saints had gathered forth together.

Everything formed an extremely stirring and intimidating picture. It was as if the emperor of the divine realm descended from his holy throne unto the lowly human world.

At the central axis of the divine city was the most grandiose and majestic pavilion of them all and sat in the heart of the city.

Inside this pavilion was a man dressed in a dragon robe. He sat quietly upon a dragon throne and was Liang Pan, the emperor of the Great Zhou Empire.

Under the support of this 'divine city', Liang Pan's aura was no longer like before. He resembled the king of all humans, as if he had the power to dictate the fates of all living things.

It was the Imperial Palace. When the Great Zhou Empire discovered the immemorial ruins of the former, they incorporated a great number of magic items and re-forged it into a super-item.

This was the reason why the Great Zhou Empire remained dominant in the Greater World, the Divine Lands. It was also the reason for the forceful and unstoppable expansion of the Great Zhou Empire. The Imperial Palace crushed the last Abbot of the Great Thunderclap Temple alive!

Besides being an all-powerful cultivator of the third-level Golden-Plated immortal soul stage, he was also an entity of myths and legends. An individual like him was also crushed to his death!

"Clack clack clack!"

Spirits began to erupt outwards in all directions. The space all around became something like the Spatial Turbulence as the Imperial Palace shattered a piece of the void as it forced its way out and into the battlefield that involved the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the others.

The Xuan Lin Holy Man's eyes began to sparkle. It seemed as if he produced another magic treasure, although it appeared like a normal flight of stone stairs.

Once Lin Feng perceived this flight of stairs, his eyes closed into a squint. He could feel that the stone flute that he obtained from Long Ye, the same one that the Great Void Sect had been looking for all this while, began to have a reaction and was eager for action.

Kang Nanhua once stepped on the stone staircase, which was connected to the stone flute, and ended up being severely injured.

That particular flight of stone stairs in question had no owner, that much was clear, but the magic item that the Xuan Lin Holy Man produced at this moment seemed like something similar. Perhaps, it was a different path to the same mysterious destination.

Once the flight of stone stairs appeared, it felt like a pathway to heaven. The Xuan Lin Holy Man stepped on it and began to channel energy of a world-shifting volume. He wanted to sweep away the disc that contained the Hades' Dark Mantra.

Previously, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was using her demonic power in combat. AT this point, she finally revealed her true power!

Within the vast disorder and chaos, a pale and jade-like palm appeared. Even though it was the shadow of a human being, the demonic power that it contained was supernaturally violent and ruthless.

It was not the same kind of magic item as that produced by human race immortal soul stage cultivators. To the Grand Sages of the demonic race, the most powerful 'magic item' was their original and true form!

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage grabbed the disc with the hand and fixed the disc in position within the void in an instant. No matter how mystical and powerful the Xuan Lin Holy Man's stone stairs were, and no matter what mantras or abhijna that he used, it was no longer possible to steal away the disc.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage's hand pulled back and the flight of stone stairs trembled as if it was going to topple. The Xuan Lin Holy Man stumbled and very nearly fell in a somersault.

On the other side, the Golden Roc Grand Sage's feathers rippled and a gargantuan volume of golden light lashed out and had already clashed several times with the Great Zhou Empire's Imperial Palace.

The purple-golden radiance of the Imperial Palace shimmered and transformed into a green portal-like hole. A green-colored gaseous sphere flew out from within this portal-cave.

The sphere erupted into howls of violent thunder and lightning and barreled across the void in the direction of the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage's black-gold eyes sparkled as he muttered under his breath, "The Chaos Cave Saint-Slaying Thunderbolt!"

Legend had it that in ancient times, there was a holy emperor that ruled over the Divine Lands. Even immortal soul stage grandmasters had to hurry forward to pay their respects. Any dissidents or people in defiance of his rule were eliminated by this green thunderbolt!

There was a chain-like item that was hanging from the Golden Roc Grand Sage's body that was completely engraved with hieroglyphs and runes. The free end of the chain was linked to the disc of the Hades' Dark Mantra. He could not give up the Hades' Dark Mantra, and his movement was restricted because of it so he could not rely on his physical speed to dodge the oncoming attack.

In the end, he decided to not dodge the attack at all. He extended and began to flap his giant wings of the Golden Roc. With a long howl, his long feet talons lashed out continuously and transformed into giant claws that seemed to envelope the entire world and used the former to eliminate all the thunderbolts one by one.

Within the main pavilion of the Imperial Palace, Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu took in the scene and subconsciously nodded their heads in approval. "This demon can vie for sovereignty with the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage – he is indeed fearsome. However, now is not the time to fight him. The main target is the Hades' Dark Mantra."

The Imperial Palace did not stop for a second. The mass of purple-gold light condensed into a single ray – much like a divine beam of light that pillared the world – with an aura of intimidation that rivalled even that of the Hades' Dark Mantra. It was truly terrifying as it roared straight for the disc of the Hades' Dark Mantra!

Within the disc, the purple brilliance of the Hades' Dark Mantra suddenly reappeared and a catastrophic energy was unleashed from within. It did not matter that its adversary was at their peak state, and the Dark Mantra was only in its germination stage as the purple energy blasted forward and clashed with the beam of purple-gold divine light.

The force of the clash between these two supreme beams of light instantly shattered the disc into pieces!

At the far end and away from everything, Lin Feng suddenly felt his Heavenly Oyster Golden Pearl tremble in his pocket.

Chapter 463: Shattering of the Nine Luminaries

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The trembling of the Heavenly Oyster's Golden Pearl shocked Lin Feng slightly. "Could it be that the legends of the connection between this magic treasure and the Royal Hades Region are true?"

He reminisced the scene within the Secret Treasure of Kun Peng and the pressure he faced from the Immemorial Kun Peng, as well as the supreme aura that emanated from within the pearl that flickered for a split second.

He tried to connect the dots as both scenes made sense with each other. Lin Feng began to ponder, "If that's the case, then the Golden Crow's demise was not for naught."

At this point, he directly channeled the power of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and ripped open the void to temporarily shake off Xin Longsheng and arrived at the main battlefield at the heart of the Cloud Forest Trees.

Xin Longsheng shook the longsword in his hand and the single point of radiance instantly unleashed its brilliance. Even more fearsome and ferocious sword Qi were unleashed and chased Lin Feng through the void – he was not cutting Lin Feng any slack at all.

As he felt the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi behind his back – which crossed unlimited space with a speed that rivaled Mount Yujing – Lin Feng furrowed his brows while his gaze remained trained at the shattered Netherworld Disc.

The disc shattered into pieces when the two streaks of divine light clashed with each other. The purple-gold light from the Imperial Palace and the countless numbers of golden clouds clashed with each other and roamed the skies like innumerable golden dragons in the sky. The force of it all broke the Cosmic Vital Spirit.

Clouds of golden light filled the skies. There were flickers of purple radiance that came and went – the Hades' Dark Mantra.

In the next moment, a pale hand and a black metal-like black claw and another streak of purple-gold divine light grabbed on the Hades' Dark Mantra at the same time.

The hand belonged to the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage while the claw belonged to the Golden Roc Grand Sage. The second streak of purple-gold light came from the Imperial Palace. The three entities made a grab at the world-devastating divine light as they tugged amongst each other.

The Xuan Lin Holy Man stepped back on the stone stairs. He actually had a chance if he channeled the power of the Thousand-Edge Flowing Radiance Mirror – until the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage reached out with the second hand.

The Thousand-Edge Flowing Radiance Mirror unleashed thousands of constantly transforming layers of space-time dimensions and planes in resistance, but the other hand of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage also began to respond in kind. A blurry and murky radiance sparkled on her palm as she reached out and fixed all the transforming planes and dimensions in place!

Even though all this happened in an instant, the abhijna of the Thousand-Edge Flowing Radiance Mirror was broken and negated by the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage with immediate effect. She flicked her fingers and hit the Xuan Lin Holy Man with a force that knocked him backwards. If not for his quick reactions, the Thousand-Edge Flowing Radiance Mirror would have been stolen by the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage.

As Lin Feng was observing all this, his eyes froze momentarily. "The mutability of the integration of Mount Yujing and the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree is far greater than that of the Thousand-Edge Flowing Radiance Mirror. I wonder if the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage can fixate that as well?"

Everything happened within the blink of an eye. After being hindered by the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage for that one moment, he ended up one step behind and was ultimately left in the dust. The Hades' Dark Mantra ended up being grabbed by the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Golden Roc Grand Sage as well as the Imperial Palace.

The shattered pieces of the disc shot in all directions. Due to the fact that they had just absorbed the essence of a Cloud Forest Tree each, Long Ye and the Sirius Grand Sage barely had the ability to defend themselves. However, for everyone else who were sacrificed, their immortal souls were in ruins and were about to be incapacitated by this calamity.

Lin Feng's eyes flickered and used his mana to sweep away Shi Zongyue, the Stellar Holy Man and the Virtuous Zen Master.

As for the Guanchong Swordmaster, he could only hope for the best.

On the other side of things, the three powers were still tugging at the disc. At the same time, they all had to take care not to incur the wrath of the Hades' Dark Mantra. The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage, as practitioners of the Hades' Dark Mantra, had an advantage and they were just about to shake off the purple-gold divine light from the Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Palace was not about to give up, however. Within the radiance of the royal pavilions, thousands and thousands of subjects and citizens began to chant and sing as they linked their collective power to the royal pavilions. The power of the Imperial Palace received an instant boost and they did not concede a single inch.

The sky shook with the sheer force of the three great powers challenging one another. The realm of the Cloud Forest Trees began to collapse as giant gashes appeared between Heaven and Earth, as if the body of the world itself sustained countless numbers of injuries.

The battle of several great powers and their clashes of force were about to lead this middle world to its ruin.

In the sky somewhere higher, the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation was also going head to head with a golden dragon with a colorless and sparkling brilliance.

A formidable strike by the Nine-Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation was whipped by the tail of the golden dragon and was immediately misdirected, and ended up going directly for the Hades' Dark Mantra below them.

Lin Feng was decisive as he channeled the power of the Heavenly Oyster's Golden Pearl as well as the collective power of Mount Yujing, the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds. The total power of the four entities began to flicker with transformations once again as he dodged the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi that was right behind him and went straight for the Hades' Dark Mantra.

Xin Longsheng was prepared this time, however. The Saintly Celestial Sword Qi trembled in the air and detected Lin Feng's movements in that minute instant and continued breaking through the void to run him down.

Even so, Lin Feng was equally prepared. After the first transformation, another one followed!

This time, Lin Feng channeled the power of instantaneous changes in time to the maximum and almost went beyond his own abilities – if that did happen, he would have been lost in the flowing river of time.

Xin Longsheng saved the Guanchong Swordmaster, who was very dear death at that point, as he once again chased Lin Feng down. However, the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi miscalculated Lin Feng's position and chose the wrong space-time plane and went straight for the Hades' Dark Mantra.

At the same time, the mana and power of the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation and the golden dragon also fell downwards in the same direction.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Golden Roc Grand Sage and the Imperial Palace were entangled with each other with no observable progress. The combined power of all six sources landed upon the Hades' Dark Mantra – the explosiveness of boundless power caused the Hades' Dark Mantra to split into three separate pieces!

Lin Feng squinted and observed that the splitting of the Hades' Dark Mantra was not because it shattered into three pieces, but it seemed to insidiously absorb the power of the six different sources and split into three streaks of purple divine light by itself.

Once the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Golden Roc Grand Sage and the Great Zhou Empire obtained a part of the Hades' Dark Mantra each, they all withdrew immediately and worked on suppressing the power of the Hades' Dark Mantra in their hands.

After the Heavenly Oyster's Golden Pearl trembled, it landed back in Lin Feng's hands and there seemed to be nothing conspicuously different from before. However, if one observed closely, the golden mist-like energy within the magic pearl flickered with flowing purple light.

"I shall have to go back and mull over it." Lin Feng raised his head and looked up as he saw the Five-Colored Golden Dragon and the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation. Their battle had reached its climax, and at this point the void split open once again and a streak of cloudy white mist emerged from within.

The Leader of the Mount Shu Sword Sect Xin Longsheng immediately withdrew his sword and gave up on Lin Feng as he shifted his gaze towards that streak of cloudy white mist.

The cloudy mist drifted like a normal gust of wind and directly cut between the Five-Colored Golden Dragon an the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation – and enveloped the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation in an instant!

A gargantuan magic formation that spanned dozes of kilometers long was enveloped by the cloudy mist in no time.

The pitch-black galaxy appeared in the sky while the Nine Luminaries grew gloomy and dark.

The cloudy mist cut off the connection between the magic formation and the Nine Luminaries in space!

The Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation's source of power came from the boundless star-based power of the Nine Luminaries of the universe. Once their source of power was cut off, then the entire magic formation began to crumble.

The Grand Sage of Qiong Qi's expression became extremely solemn. "Yan Nanlai!"

The current leader of the Great Void Sect, Yan Nanlai!

Since the great battle from the previous conflict between the two worlds, the previous leader of the Great Void Sect, Tai Yi Holy Man, endured grievous injuries and retreated into the Supreme Elder Council. Since then, Yan Nanlai took over the role of leader, and until now more than four thousand years had passed.

The white cloudy mist came from Yan Nanlai's mana. The Grand Sage of Qiong Qi did not dare to underestimate the new adversary, and immediately channeled the power of the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation to the maximum.

Within the magic formation, nine different light illusions flickered about and summoned vast power before combining to rip the white clouds apart and reestablished the connection with the Nine Luminaries in the galaxy.

The Grand Sage of Qiong Qi let loose a sinister laugh and exclaimed, "The Nine Luminaries Peak!"

The Nine Luminaries sparkled with dazzling radiance and the brilliant power of the stars flowed continuously through the void towards the magic formation.

The vast power shook the already weak Cloud Forest World and brought it to the brink of collapse.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At this moment, roaring drum sounds rang out continuously. The fearsome aura from the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation was suppressed in an instant, and this ancient and fearsome magic formation that was also the pinnacle of all magic formations of the demon race began to tremble as if it was facing its greatest adversary.

Every booming sound, as it rang out, seemed to open a new ancient universe and shatter the current world while they transformed into barren lands.

Everybody at the scene grew solemn at the sight. "It's the Formation Bursting Drum!"

The counter to the myriad of magic formations of the world, and the Great Void Sect's proudest treasure – the Formation Bursting Drum. The drums beat and beat as the booming sounds dominated the earth!

Even though this magic treasure was directed at the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation, Lin Feng could feel that his Two Elements of Creation Formation began to tremble faintly. The Imperial Palace that was hidden away somewhere in the void was also flickering with golden light as the magic formations set up around the pavilions began to shake unstably, as if they were about to be shattered.

The white cloudy mist surged forward again as it attempted to fix the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation in place. Suddenly, a flash of golden light split the sky as the Golden Roc Grand Sage landed within the magic formation. The Grand Sage of Qiong Qi immediately stood aside and passed the reins of control to the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage howled and uncountable streaks of golden light could be seen emanating from all over his body. Every bit of it entered the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation and forcibly stabilized the magic formation.

"Yan Nanlai, today is not the day. The Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation lacked the core magic treasure to support its heart, and the materials used to set it up were also not of the same quality." The Golden Roc Grand Sage said quietly, "In future days, I shall personally procure the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation in its peak condition and destroy your Formation Bursting Drum and subsequently eliminate your Great Void Sect."

He channeled his demonic power and the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation instantly became a patch of pitch black and grew boundlessly gloomy. However, it was still charged with an unspeakable aura of a world-swallowing quality. It became like a giant black hole and was about to swallow the Cloud Forest World whole.

Under the control of the Golden Roc Grand Sage, the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation unleashed its ninth attack. It drew upon the power of the dark star, Rahu, and instantly swallowed a great piece of Yan Nanlai's white cloudy mist.

When the next ring of the Formation Bursting Drum rang out, the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation reversed in an instant and transformed into a tiny black dot. The Golden Roc Grand Sage opened his mouth and swallowed it, and swept away the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi as they morphed into a ray of flowing light and escaped with dazzling speed.

At this point, he unleashed his natural speed and nobody could catch up with him anymore.

However, how could the rest of them just let the former get away just like that?

Yan Nanlai, the Five-Colored Golden Dragon and the Xuan Lin Holy Man unleashed their attacks at the same time. Even the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Imperial Palace, who were at the side attempting to suppress the Hades' Dark Mantra, began to enter the fray once again.

A whole group of Immortal Soul Third Level powerhouses attacking at the same time had a force that much resembled an apocalypse of ages

The cosmic vital energy dissipated in its entirety, and the forces that supported the Cloud Forest World completely collapsed. The chaos energy between heaven and earth filled the sky like a spider web!

An entire middle world, destroyed!

Faced with such great forces of assault, the Golden Roc Grand Sage's cold eyes sparkled with boundless grimness. He spit out the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation from his mouth, and nine light illusions within the formation trembled once again.

The entire magic formation erupted into pieces. Nine streaks of blinding light shot outwards in all directions, much like the path of destruction of the Nine Luminaries in the galaxy!

Chapter 464: I Lie Unmoving In Wait For Your Arrival!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The world-shattering power was extremely frightening. It could not be compared to the personal powers of Lin Feng, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, Long Ye and the others. The Cloud Forest World before them was truly on the path towards destruction.

It could not be compared to the collapse of a Greater World. Even so, it was petrifying and even immortal soul third level powerhouses were not entirely confident of emerging unscathed.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage was in such dire circumstance and still faced multiple assaults from the other powerhouses; he entered fight or flight mode.

His gaze was grim as usual. He was decisive and immediately completely reversed the power of the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation, and gargantuan force of the reversal caused the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation to collapse completely. The force that erupted explosively from within not only shielded him from the crushing force of the Cloud Forest World's destruction, it also shook off Yan Nanlai and the others temporarily.

The nine magic items that were used to set up the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation shot out in all directions like the Nine Luminaries runaway.

Only the formation map remained. It transformed in to a single black dot and was withdrawn by the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

However, just at this moment as it was faced with explosive and destructive forces all around it, the Formation Bursting Drum continued to resonate across the void. It forcibly opened up a pathway through, and a streak of white cloudy energy chased up to the Golden Roc Grand Sage speedily.

The cloudy mist resembled boiling water as it rippled all around. It spread out into two directions, and two streaks of energy shot out from within – one black, and one white – while the Yin Yang that was formed continued to spin around, and froze the formation map of the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation in place!

The collapse of the middle world caused everybody to land themselves within the darkness of the Spatial Turbulence. If no action was taken, they would follow Heaven and Earth to their ends.

Within a tiny amount of time, multiple powerhouses battled it out amongst themselves.

At this point, the white pale hand of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage also reached out for the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation map. The Imperial Palace, the Five-Colored Golden Dragon and the Xuan Lin Holy Man were also intimately engaged in the fray.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage remained calm despite being frozen in place by the gravity of the Yan Nanlai's mana. His expression remained grim and cold as he began to channel his demonic powers. The black formation map trembled violently and expanded into two circles of black energy inside and outside.

The two black circles separated from each other. The black circle in the center was swallowed by the Golden Roc Grand Sage and he subsequently unleashed his natural speed and withdrew from the scene.

After Lin Feng's uprooting, the remaining Cloud Forest Trees began to shake under the pressure of the collapse of their world. They were about to be destroyed along with it.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage flashed towards the trees and, in the blink of an eye, grabbed two more Cloud Forest Trees before he split open the void and entered the Spatial Turbulence and disappeared in an instant. He left the Cloud Forest World for good, and was on his way back to the Barren Expanses.

The inner light circle was taken away by the Golden Roc Grand Sage, while the outer light circle was still frozen in place by Yan Nanlai's spell power. However, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage did not wait for him to retract his mana and reached out with her palms.

The Imperial Palace flew up as the Great Zhou Empire also wanted a piece of it. The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and Yan Nanlai both extended a streak of mana and transformed them into tides within the void and blew the Imperial Palace into a state of instability. Even though the Imperial Palace was not about to topple over, they were jolted about by the force of it all.

The Imperial Palace wanted to break through the tides within the void. The Xuan Lin Holy Man stepped on his flight of stone stairs and descended upon the purple-gold divine light at the top of the Imperial Palace. With that hindering strike, the Imperial Palace was immediately frozen in place within the void.

Yan Nanlai, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Xuan Lin Holy Man attacked the Imperial Palace at the same time and thus gave the Five-Colored Golden Dragon an opportunity. It lunged forward and lashed out with its dragon claws. Elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth interchanged continuously as it latched onto the light circle of the formation map of the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation.

With the three forces tugging at the light circle, the latter separated into three pieces like the Hades' Dark Mantra before it.

This was not the same as the Hades' Dark Mantra naturally splitting by itself, however. This was caused by the forceful tugging of the three powerhouses at the same time, and was torn into three parts.

The Xuan Lin Holy Man was shaken as he retreated backwards. The Emperor of the Great Zhou Empire, Liang Pan, immediately realized that they no longer had any hope of obtaining the formation map and changed he changed his target to the nine treasures that were used to set up the magic formation.

However, Lin Feng was one step ahead. When everybody was fighting for the formation map, he went straight for those lost magic treasures.

Lin Feng speedily collected them. He had already taken four magic treasures into his possession and was about to go for the fifth one, when a crystal flickering with purple radiance bore towards him – the Imperial Palace.

Lin Feng saw what was going on and laughed coldly. He tapped the top of his head, and purple energy began to disperse all around followed by an explosive expansion of clear light – and, with that, Mount Yujing descended from the void.

This was not Lin Feng channeling the power of the mystical mountain along with the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree anymore. This was Lin Feng unleashing the power of Mount Yujing in its entirety.

The white jade mystical mountain returned to its height of thirty-thousand feet. The treasure tree at its summit began to sway and tremble as purple energy enveloped the entire mountain.

A colorful and radiant light circle began to form and eventually transformed into a perfect sphere that enveloped Mount Yujing, the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and the mass of purple clouds inside.

An independent world seemed to have appeared. A million concepts of power and the willpower of worlds seemed to integrate – the display of power was riveting.

The Imperial Palace was overbearing, so Mount Yujing was even more so!

It postured in its place, unmoving. It was just there, and lay in wait for the Imperial Palace that was surging towards it. The purple-gold light clashed with the spherical dome and exploded with a force that rivaled even the one released during the destruction of the middle world.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The blackness of the void began to shatter into pieces as well and became a whole patch of chaos energy. All its composite elements were released, and this energy was combined with the energy released when the Cloud Forest World collapsed upon itself – the chain reaction led to a complete collapse and ruination.

As for the Spatial Turbulence, with the location of the clash between the Imperial Palace and Mount Yujing as its center, thousands of kilometers around it were wiped clean. Nothing existed anymore and were destroyed completely – even time itself seemed to have stopped.

It felt like a tiny moment, yet at the same time an eternity. Streaks of faintly black and white things drifted into site, like the energies that only existed during the beginning of worlds, when everything was barren.

At this point, everybody could see that the reaction force of the clash threw the Imperial Palace back thousands of kilometers backwards, and the Imperial Palace was only a small dot of light from where everybody was at.

What was more frightening was that Mount Yujing was still upright in its original spot and did not move from its original position. Even though the void had been shattered and space-time ceased to exist, Yan Nanlai, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the others could vividly feel that, from the clash that just transpired, Mount Yujing was unmoved from beginning to end.

It was like a giant that watched on with indifference at approaching adversaries. After a single clash, the adversary was flung out like a kite while the giant appeared as if nothing had happened, and not even the position of his feet was shifted a single inch.

This was the result of the Imperial Palace clashing with Mount Yujing in terms of mana force and spell power. If it were like the direct physical clashing of Mount Yujing and Holy Wind Mountain, the Imperial Palace would probably have just simply crumbled into nothingness.

Much like a horse carriage that was at its top speed and hit the giant mountain head-on, the mountain would remain unmoved while the carriage would be shattered into pieces.

Within the radiant dome of the Imperial Palace in the distance, a great half of the millions of illusions of subjects and citizens that were bowed in mediation had also disappeared and needed to regroup.

Inside the royal pavilion, Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu watched Mount Yujing in the void with solemn expressions. Throughout the process of the forceful clash, the auras and energies within the Imperial Palace surged about and felt like the center of a maelstrom hurricane.

Despite Zhu Hongwu and Liang Pan's levels of mastery, they still had that singular moment of instability.

"In the end, the Imperial Palace is a man-made magic treasure. Faced with the near-unrivaled natural power of something like Mount Yujing is not something that we can directly challenge. We need to channel mutable mantras and abhijnas to counter it," Liang Pan said slowly.

Zhu Hongwu stared at Mount Yujing in the distance and clenched his fists tightly. "When your majesty has attained the immortal soul third level, or perhaps when you have refined and assimilated the power of the Hades' Dark Mantra as the source of power of the Imperial Palace, whichever solution comes first we will definitely be able to challenge Mount Yujing."

"If we have both, then our advantage will be even greater!"

Liang Pan nodded his head. "Yes, you are right. This is not the time to clash with the Celestial Sect of Wonders." He rode the Imperial Palace into the void, grabbed a Cloud Forest Tree and reopened the void before returning to the Divine Lands.

At the time when Lin Feng clashed with Liang Pan, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage decisively uprooted a Cloud Forest Tree and escaped as well.

With the collapse of the Cloud Forest World, the remaining Cloud Forest Trees were separated. The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and Liang Pan could only choose a single position to grab a Cloud Forest Tree before leaving right after.

Xin Longsheng of the Mount Shu Sword Sect pondered momentarily and grabbed a Cloud Forest Tree as well.

When Lin Feng battled with Liang Pan, the Five-Colored Golden Dragon collected the remaining magic treasures used to set up the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation and swept up a Cloud Forest Tree as well. The Five-Colored Golden Dragon circled in the sky a couple of times and the light illusions eventually transformed into a kingly middle-aged figure with a dragon robe and a royal crown upon his head.

This person's age was about the same as Liang Pan. However, his physical appearance was entirely different while only his demeanor and disposition was similar. He had an intimidating aura of world-unification, as if he held immense power within his hands. He was the current emperor of the Great Qin Empire, Shi Yu.

His shadow gradually disappeared within the void as he sought to avoid the destructive force of the devastation of the middle world. His eyes flickered with a complicated radiation.

"The Imperial Palace, yes, it will be a real problem if they assimilate the power of the Hades' Dark Mantra. The most important magic treasure of the Great Qin Empire needs time to recover. When I have wiped the other families, the resources should be enough."

Shi Yu glanced at the cloudy mist that came from Yan Nanlai and Xin Longsheng who was upright in the void before turning his gaze back towards Mount Yujing. "The Celestial Sect of Wonders…"

His shadow quickly disappeared.

At this point, Yan Nanlai and Xin Longsheng's attentions were both shifted to Mount Yujing – the unshakeable mystical mountain that was unfazed by even the crumbling of a middle world.

The Black Heavenly Treasure Tree sparkled at the summit as Lin Feng rode Mount Yujing and returned into the void.

Within the cloudy mist from Yan Nanlai's mana, Yan Mingyue and the Xuan Lin Holy Man stood side by side. Beside them was a giant Cloud Forest Tree laid upon the ground. Under the cover of the white mist, the tree looked a lot smaller.

The Xuan Lin Holy Man glanced at Yan Mingyue and said slowly, "Well done."

Yan Mingyue smiled faintly. When she was travelling with Lin Feng, and while Lin Feng and his disciples were grabbing Cloud Forest Trees she followed along and obtained a Cloud Forest Tree of her own.

Yan Nanlai retracted the white cloudy mist and left this patch of the void. At the other end, Xin Longsheng's silhouette also disappeared within the void as they both made their way back towards the Divine Lands.

Yan Mingyue and the Xuan Lin Holy Man watched Xin Longsheng's blurry shadow. "From the very start, Xin Longsheng and the Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders got it going and hindered his chances of obtaining the magic treasure. In the end, why did he not do anything else? Besides a single trunk of the Cloud Forest Trees, did he not completely waste his time here?"

From within the white cloudy mist, a clear voice rang out. "His reaping from this expedition is far greater than what the two of you have imagined."

Chapter 465: Influence of the Celestial Sect of Wonders

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

As Yan Nan spoke, Yan Mingyue became silent immediately. Whereas the Xuan Lin Holy Man appeared to be distracted.

Yan Nan came from a Conservative Faction, whereas he was from the Radical Faction. Even though both parties were different, the Xuan Lin Holy Man retained the most basic respect towards Yan Nan. He did not speak and allowed Yan Nan to speak.

"This time, Mount Shu may have reaped more rewards than us." Yan Nan said, "Through his sparring with the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Xin Longsheng saw a new path. Saintly Celestial Sword Qi had already reached its end, but a new path was born."

"The Saintly Celestial Sword Qi is indeed the top swordplay in the Grand Celestial World and they have already assimilated the secrets of swordplay fully. But it had also lost its relevance. But today, Xin Longsheng has seen the possibility of the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi rising again.

As he said till here, besides Yan Mingyue, even the Great Void Sect Supreme Elder, the Xuan Lin Holy Man, became serious.

The Great Void Sect and Mount Shu Sword Sect had ties going back to many years ago. In the Divine Lands, besides the Mount Shu Sword Sect, the Great Void Sect understood the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi the best. Regardless of whether it was the Xuan Lin Holy Man or Yan Mingyue, they knew the power of the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi.

At the Cloud Forest World, Xin Longsheng was only flaunting a small part of what he was capable of.

Now that they knew that the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi could improve one level higher, how could they not know what that signified?

The Xuan Lin Holy Man said, "Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonder…is his art of swordplay cultivation really so strong?"

Yan Nan answered calmly, "Purely based on the art of swordplay, I don't think that he can win Xin Longsheng. But it is certain that his art of swordplay is beyond average in the Grand Celestial World."

Xuan Lin Holy Man closed his eyes, "Just through one session of sparring, Xin Longsheng could not have exceeded the limit of the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi. He will try to obtain the art of swordplay of the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

"Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Celestial Sect of Wonders will fight each other!"

Yan Mingyue said, "Eldest Senior had the idea to plan for the Celestial Sect of Wonders to repress the Mount Shu Sword Sect. It seems that he doesn't need to waste any effort now.

"I still thought that there is a gap between the Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Celestial Sect of Wonders. But it seems that the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is very unpredictable. Who would have thought that he was such an elite sword cultivator?"

Yan Mingyue said, "I had the idea of testing out how good he was and see the quality of the magic treasure he cultivated using the Zhuyan Demon Eye. But it was too rushed at the Cloud Forest World. To obtain the Cloud Forest Tree, I missed the opportunity."

Xuan Lin Holy Man closed his eyes and said, "So what if you test him? Even if he was a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator, it can't change the fact that he can threaten the Mount Shu Sword Sect. This is very real."

"The lower his cultivation, it only explains that his potential was higher. This means that the others should feel pressured."

Yan Mingyue smiled and said, "I will become ashamed of myself. I feel that I have wasted all my efforts all these years."

Xuan Lin Holy Man did not speak, as he revealed a weird expression.

The white clouds dragged the both of them back to the Divine Lands. Yan Nan's voice resonated, "The Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation and the Hades' Dark Mantra. As the Golden Roc Grand Sage and the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage's powers increase, there will be changes in the demon clan. There will be a commotion in the Grand Celestial World again. We have to make preparations."

"The rise of the Celestial Sect of Wonders may be a good thing."

Xuan Lin Holy Man and Yan Mingyue nodded their heads in silence. Yan Mingyue looked at space and thought in her heart, "Lin Feng, what kind of influence will you bring to the Grand Celestial World?"

The same question was floating in everyone's head at the same time.

From the Barren Lands, a streak of golden light crossed the horizon and travelled thousands of miles, landing in a huge mountain. In the mountains, there were many bird nests. The biggest of them all was flashing with golden light.

The nest looked simple, but was very grand and magnificent.

The golden light landed in this nest and revealed the look of the Golden Roc Grand Sage. After he descended, he opened his mouth wide and spat the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi, Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc and the other demons out of his mouth.

After that, a black spot flew out of the Golden Roc Grand Sage's mouth and landed in front of the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi, "The core of the formation is still present, even as its external parts are broken. We can use the core of it to determine the parts that are broken. As for the materials, I will find them for you."

The Grand Sage of Qiong Qi kept the formation map and nodded his head in silence.

"My Lord…" the Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc, Deep Sea Dragon Hawk and the other demons looked serious.

For the Hades' Dark Mantra, the Golden Roc Grand Sage paid a huge price. As the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation was damaged, although it could be repaired, a lot of effort was needed. Out of more than ten Cloud Forest Trees, only a heartbreaking two were retrieved.

Although the Hades' Dark Mantra was cultivated successfully, it had to be shared. The Great Zhou Empire shared a part of it. That was fine, but the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage had a share too. This was something many thought was unacceptable.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage looked at them and his black pupils exuded calmness and indifference. He said, "No harm."

His eyes flashed with radiance suddenly. After that, destruction ensured and chaos descended.

The Hades' Dark Mantra and the other Demonic Saints were shocked. Even the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi was stunned. After that, his eyes started to burn with flames.

"Is that…the Hunyuan Demonic Code?!"

The Golden Roc Grand Sage said, "Hades' Dark Mantra infused the demonic spirit of Heavenly Charms. To determine the complete Hunyuan Demonic Code, it will be quite difficult. But with enough time, I can do it."

The Heavenly Wheels Golden Roc and the other Demonic Saints revealed a smile on their faces. If they can obtain the Hunyuan Demonic Code, their previous efforts were worth it.

But there was little joy in the eyes of the Golden Roc Grand Sage. He turned to look at space. In his mind, the image of Lin Feng and the magnificent White Jade Mountain appeared. He thought of many things, "When I enter the Divine Lands in the future, he will be a huge variable."

At the same time, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, Liang Pan and Shi Yu were all pondering. To them, regardless of any plans in the future, the Celestial Sect of Wonders had to be considered.

"What kind of change will Lin Feng and his sect cause to the Grand Celestial World?"

Lin Feng was sitting on Mount Yujing and thinking about the influence this trip to the Cloud Forest World would bring.

The Hades' Dark Mantra reappeared in the world and landed in the hands of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Golden Roc Grand Sage and the Great Zhou Empire.

In terms of relationship and geography, the Great Zhou Empire and Lin Feng came from the Divine Lands. It was the easiest for them to encounter each other and conflict with each other.

When they fought for the treasure, Mount Yujing and the Imperial Palace clashed. Since the treasure was without an owner, whoever took it owned it. Everyone fought for it with their own abilities. Even if there were clashes, Lin Feng and Liang Pan would not take it to heart. After it was over, everything would be the same again.

But because of Yue Hongyan's hatred for the country and the bad blood between Zhu Yi and Zhu Hongwu, regardless whether it was Lin Feng or Liang Pan, they could predict that the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Great Zhou Empire would conflict in the future.

Under such a circumstance, the growth in the Great Zhou's Empire power was not good news for Lin Feng. However, the Hades' Dark Mantra reigned supreme in the demonic world. Even if a human cultivator obtained it, he would be unable to control it.

As this thing landed in Liang Pan's hands, he could only cultivate to use it as a power source for the Imperial Palace. This allowed the Imperial Palace to gain an increment in its power.

On the other hand, to the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and Golden Roc Grand Sage in the Barren Lands, they might not have any conflicts in the short-term, but they had many evil thoughts regarding the Hades' Dark Mantra.

After they cultivated it, their powers were bound to increase. Whereas the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage already had tremendous powers as he controlled the Hunyuan Demonic Code. Lin Feng suspected that with enough time, she might use the Hades' Dark Mantra to deduce the secret behind the first volume of the Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao.

It wasn't difficult to use a spell to deduce an abhijna, but to use an abhijna to do the reverse process on a spell had never been succeeded before. But nothing was impossible.

Lin Feng recalled the scene when the Golden Roc Grand Sage segmented the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation. He believed that the Golden Roc Grand Sage would be able to complete the entire formation with the core that he had.

The question laid in how much of the rewards would the Great Void Sect, Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Great Qin Empire get, as they possessed a part of the external area of the formation.

Among all of them, the Great Qin Empire deserved some attention. Although they looked the lowest profile of them all, Lin Feng got credible news that Shi Yu was preparing a frightening, secret weapon.

The disabled external areas of the formation were unlikely to be useful in deducing the complete Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation. But it was possible to find out the mystery behind the power guiding the formation. From there, it could speed up the completion of the secret weapon.

If that was the case, Liang Pan could not relax. His Imperial Palace would meet its match.

Lin Feng was pondering and felt a weird movement from the Cloud Forest Trees that he obtained suddenly. He laughed, "No matter what they do, I am going to benefit a lot."

The Purple Clouds spat out 4 Cloud Forest Trees. These trees were filled with mushrooms, which were all avatars converted from the Parasol Fairy demonic powers.

When Lin Feng and the rest plucked the trees, they forced the Parasol Fairy's demonic powers to retreat. Now the mushrooms on the trees had disappeared, revealing the original pitch-black branch and green leaves.

Apart from one of the trees, there were a few mushrooms left on the other trees. They were covered by the Purple Clouds, an attempt by Lin Feng to retain them.

Lin Feng looked at these mushrooms and said, "Parasol Fairy, welcome to Mount Yujing as a guest. I hope that one day, your actual self will come here."

The brownish mushrooms shook a little and converted to an image of an old lady in a brown robe, the usual appearance of the Parasol Fairy. She stood beside the Cloud Forest Trees and sighed, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Master Lin."

"If you want the Celestial Spirit Snow Dew, I can create it with my avatar. But I provided it for the Golden Roc Grand Sage at the Middle World. My actual body and avatar are connected. Therefore, I have to wait for a long time before I can make another Celestial Spirit Snow Dew. Please forgive me."

Lin Feng laughed, "Please stand on ceremony. You can feel free to stay here."

Chapter 466: Benefits Abound

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

When Lin Feng plucked the Cloud Forest Tree, he retained an avatar of the Parasol Fairy on purpose. He was after the Celestial Spirit Snow Dew.

Although he had not personally witnessed the Parasol Fairy creating the Celestial Spirit Snow Dew before, the scent left behind after the creation of the Celestial Spirit Snow Dew was noticed by Lin Feng immediately. After checking with the system, he found out that it was a rare treasure.

It was very helpful for cultivators in the Immortal Soul Stage to break through their realm. It increased the probability of doing so by a lot.

Lin Feng would not let such a good thing go. When his mana encountered the avatar of the Parasol Fairy, which was the mushrooms, he immediately knew that the Parasol Fairy was the source of it. That was why he retained the avatar of the Parasol Fairy on purpose when he plucked the Cloud Forest Tree.

The Parasol Fairy reacted quickly. Seeing that things are not going smooth, she retracted her demonic powers, which prevented Yan Mingyue and the rest from stopping her avatar. It was only Lin Feng who was faster and stopped one of them.

The Parasol Fairy knew exactly why Lin Feng retained her avatar. She also admitted readily.

After all, she had already created the Celestial Spirit Snow Dew for the Golden Roc Grand Sage. Even if she was tortured, there's no way she could create any more Celestial Spirit Snow Dew.

Both her avatar and her actual self could create it. But they existed together. Once she created it once, she could not create anymore within a period of time. She had to wait for the next opportunity.

Lin Feng understood this point too. He was not rushing either. He detained the Parasol Fairy and took his time to plan. When he acted on the plan, he still had to deal with the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. Since the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was protecting the Parasol Fairy's actual self, he would not let Lin Feng squeeze the Celestial Spirit Snow Dew out of her so easily.

After using his mana to send the Parasol Fairy to a cave, Lin Feng looked at the Cloud Forest Trees he plucked.

He thought, "I have to think of the future. I have to keep one complete one and try to cultivate more of these."

When the Middle World was destroyed, the Cloud Forest Trees lost their soil foundation. They could not avoid the damage as the world destructed. Lin Feng did not dare to act rashly. He used the Purple Clouds to take a few of these trees to the medicine valley on Mount Yujing.

Lucky was picked out of the Heavenly Ray Cosmic World by him and cried non-stop. To shut her mouth, he used the Grand Sun Primordial Fire. After that, she was eating it joyfully.

She was very greedy and was very focused on eating rather than thinking of what she ate. After eating, she collapsed on the ground, holding her stomach as he cried in pain. After that, she became a pile of spiritual soil.

After the soil in the medicine valley was nourished by Lucky, its spirituality was replenished. Now that the Blessed Spiritual soil was scattered on it, the soil became even more fertile. Lin Feng planted the best Cloud Forest Tree on it.

The giant roots of the Cloud Forest Tree extended deep into the soil and absorbed the spirituality from within it. After that, they converted it to its own life power.

As Lin Feng pointed his finger, a streak of jade-green water spurted out and landed in the soil. It was the Grand Moon Primordial Water. It was equally as good in nurturing life. After it was absorbed the Cloud Forest Tree, the spirituality within the tree became more and more nourished.

The branches of the tree shook suddenly. The leaves were rustled, as if something asleep had awoken.

In space, a roaring sound resonated. Lin Feng awoke, "Under my care, this Cloud Forest Tree is about to develop some awareness of its own and develop into a demon."

The Cloud Forest Tree grew in the Middle World for many years and accumulated a huge amount of spirituality within it. The spiritual energy within it was even more than a Demon Lord, and was not far from a Demonic Saint that had an Undying Demon Soul.

But it was just that the Middle World did not have the Void Lightning Tribulations, thus it wasn't able to form the Demon Soul. It remained at the peak of the Demonic Commander realm.

Eventually, it landed in the hands of the Golden Roc Grand Sage and the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi. It was like a heavy but weak fat person, that was subjected to the attack of others, as its awareness was killed off.

But now, Lin Feng used the Grand Moon Primordial Water and Blessed Spiritual soil to nurture it. Under the guidance of a prosperous life power, this Cloud Forest Tree was about to develop an awareness and become a demon.

The accumulation of this tree was very dense. Once it became a demon, it could overcome the Void Lightning Tribulations in the Divine Lands immediately. After forming the Demon Soul, it would be easy to reach the Intermediate and Advanced Stage of the Demon Lord realm.

Eventually, it might even have the urge to from the Undying Demon Soul.

Lin Feng thought for a while. With his current abilities, even if the Cloud Forest Tree demon formed the Undying Demon Soul, it would not cause much problems either. Currently, Lin Feng had enough confidence and magnanimity to tolerate the existence of the Cloud Forest Tree.

But besides this tree, the other Cloud Forest Trees had also plans in place for them by Lin Feng. He did not plan to plant them but to cultivate them even further.

If this Cloud Forest Tree in front of him became a demon and developed an awareness, he might be disturbed as he sees his own class of matter being cultivated. Lin Feng wasn't afraid that it would rebel, but he didn't need to give himself so much trouble.

He could let it become a demon in the future, but now wasn't the time. Thinking till here, Lin Feng lifted his hands and made a chop in space. Under the effect of the Fences of the Heavens mantra, the self-awareness of the Cloud Forest Tree went silent again.

The Blessed Spiritual soil turned back to the look of Lucky and returned to the Heavenly Ray Cosmic World to sleep. She was the epitome of a glutton and a sleepyhead.

Lin Feng laughed while shaking his head. After exiting the medicine valley, he continued to check the stuff he had obtained during the battle.

What made him a little concerned was the sudden change in the Heavenly Oyster's Golden Pearl. He retrieved the pearl and observed it carefully. He realized that the original golden fog within the internal area of the oyster was flashing with a hint of purple light.

Lin Feng used his mana to further investigate. He realized that it wasn't the Hades' Dark Mantra. More accurately speaking, it was more like a hint of the aura of the Hades' Dark Mantra.

But even if it was its aura, it left one petrified. Through this hint of aura, Lin Feng could feel that the Heavenly Oyster's Golden Pearl had something to do with the Royal Hades Region.

Lin Feng raised his brows. The Great Void Sect knew about the existence of such a treasure. But they treated it normally, as it was a rumor after all. No one had encountered it before.

But did the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage know about it? From how she knew the Golden Crow Grand Sage coveted the Aeolus Sect, she probably knew about the Heavenly Oyster's Golden Pearl.

Why was she hell bent on getting his pearl?

Lin Feng thought of it and retrieved a glowing purple crystal. It was transparent and let out a dim light.

This was one of the nine treasures the Golden Roc Grand Sage and the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi used to form the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation, and which also landed in Lin Feng's hands

When the pearl and the crystal were placed together, the glowing of the purplish light in the pearl became very intense. It seemed like it was almost going to burst out of the pearl and meet with the purplish crystal. The radiance of the crystal also become more intense and kept on flashing

Lin Feng was a little curious and used his mana to investigate the crystal. His supernatural awareness felt a hint of cold.

It wasn't a real type of cold, but it was that this crystal contained a pure Yin material that did not carried any warmth.

Although there were pure Yin and Yang materials in the world, they were very rare. For instance, there was the Grand Moon Primordial Water. Although it was Yin in nature, there was Yang within the Yin. Whereas this crystal contained the accumulation of pure Yin, which was summoned to its extreme and could not convert to Yang energy.

In all matter, Yin and Yang existed. This was the rule of life that destiny could not avoid. But everything had an exception. The very few pure Yin and Yang materials were some of the exceptions. It was as if two extremes existed, that seemed to contravene logic, but seemed to blend in with the natural workings of the world.

This purplish crystal was such an item. What was even more miraculous was that this thing was connected to the Hades' Dark Mantra.

As the purplish light of the pearl flashed, a frightening and invisible aura was released. After it encountered the purplish crystal, the purplish crystal let out a huge radiance.

Lin Feng used his supernatural awareness to scan it and an image appeared in front of his eyes.

A vast palace that was majestic and ancient appeared. It could be seen that no one resided there for very long, but the palace did not seem to be old. It was as if a powerful force was protecting it.

Suddenly, a huge roc with golden wings entered the palace. Its body size was much smaller and it landed on the ground. A pair of emotionless pupils flashed with a golden light and they stared at Lin Feng.

In fact, they were not staring at Lin Feng but the crystal. The image that Lin Feng was seeing was actually a record of the experience of the crystal.

Lin Feng could tell that the golden-winged roc was the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage walked forward slowly and talked in a deep voice, "Netherworld Purple Crystal, the accessory to the King of Hades in the past, maybe…"

In the next moment, the Netherworld Purple crystal was taken by the Golden Roc Grand Sage. The image in front of Lin Feng went dark.

"It seems like that palace is a side palace of the Royal Hades Region. Long Ye mentioned before that the Netherworld Purple Crystal is the clue to the Golden Roc Grand Sage obtaining the Hades' Dark Mantra."

As he recalled his conversation with Long Ye, Lin Feng was enlightened. He investigated the crystal meticulously and found out that besides the cultivated Yin energy, there was no other thing, "It seems like everything inside has been cultivated by the Golden Roc Grand Sage. That is why he gave it to the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi to form the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation."

As Lin Feng was thinking, he saw the purple light of the Heavenly Oyster's Golden Pearl flashing non-stop and started to become weaker. Whereas the frightening aura of the Hades' Dark Mantra had surged into the Netherworld Purple Crystal.

"Oh, it seems like there is something else." Lin Feng's gaze flashed and he weighed the crystal, "Let me investigate further in the future. Such an item is very rare. It could be useful for my Two Elements of Creation Formation."

Within the Two Elements of Creation Formation, Six Forms of Creation and Destruction, there was a change called the Changes of Yin and Yang. The most suitable material was a pure Yin and Yang treasure.

Within the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation, this treasure was initially a receptacle for the powers of the Moon.

Lin Feng laughed and switched his vision from the crystal to another platform.

This platform looked normal and was dark in color. But it revealed an unwavering and restraining force.

It was as if it was the peak of an Immemorial Celestial Mountain was being torn down. It could turn the Nine Heavens upside down and repress the Ten Grounds!

Lin Feng laughed, "Golden Roc, Qiong Qi, the both of you are too kind. How can I accept this?"

Chapter 467: All Good Stuff

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng had to admit that the treasures used by the Golden Roc Grand Sage and the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi to form the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation this time was of higher quality than the one at the Sea of the Northern Winds.

This platform in front of them was the receptacle for the power of Saturn in the formation, but it was only a magic treasure embryo!

If he did not see wrongly, this platform was indeed the mountain tip of the Immemorial Celestial Mountain.

The magic treasures used in the formation were not of uniform quality. There were the better-quality ones, like the treasure of the Sun, which was the Sun Essence Stone. For Mars, it was the Ancient Flaming Soul. For Jupiter, it was the Ancient Willow Tree Roots.

Although they were good, they were still inferior to the Hades' Dark Mantra and this platform.

When Lin Feng was gathering the treasures, he only took the best. He obtained five of them, which were all special. He was in luck.

"This is really heavy," Lin Feng clasped his lips. Even though the platform looked average, it was heavier than the Cloud Forest Tree that was a thousand foot high. Lin Feng used his mana to barely lift it up.

As he looked at the platform, Lin Feng thought for a while and he revealed his Kun Peng pavilion hall. After, that he also retrieved the Heavenly Wind Treasure Fan.

As the three items were placed together, Lin Feng tried to figure out the various power concepts. After a while, Lin Feng had an idea in his head and he revealed a smile on his lips. Following that, he kept them away.

Besides the Netherworld Purple Crystal and the black platform, Lin Feng turned his attention towards a stone stele. This was also one of the magic treasures in the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation. When it was placed in the formation, it was used to guide the unlimited cosmic power of the South Node.

Among the Nine Luminaries, the South Node and the Moon clashed. It was the dark star of the Moon and contained boundless disasters.

Whereas the stone stele in front of Lin Feng brought him an ominous feeling of disaster and destruction. Lin Feng picked his brows, "Oh? This is not a magic treasure of the demonic world. It is a treasure cultivated by humans."

Lin Feng used his supernatural awareness to scan it before, but did not discover the presence of an original soul. "But it doesn't seem to be damaged. The original soul of the magic treasure should not have been destroyed. The power concept has always been important."

He used his mana to delve deeper into it, but only felt that his awareness entered a vast darkness.

There was no sound or light. Space could also not be felt and time did not seem to pass. There was a huge fear and the aura of a disaster approaching.

It was as if a world was void of light and entered an eternal darkness.

When Lin Feng's mana delved into it, he could feel a consciousness that was asleep. The other party was unconscious, but when Lin Feng appeared, it seemed to have barely woken up.

"So, this is it. The power concept within the magic treasure was eternal darkness. The magic treasure original soul also belongs to a sleeping state. Without any interference, it will not wake up."

Lin Feng understood that and looked at the stone stele carefully. There were only two words inscribed on it, "Eternal night!"

What made him interested was that this treasure was cultivated by human cultivators in demonic sects.

The Divine Lands was very prosperous now and the demonic sects were not enjoying it. Everyone hated them and even the Samsara Sect had become orthodox.

The rest of the demonic sects might come up with a few powerful individuals that could dominate for a while. But eventually, they would be forced to retreat.

Hence, the presence of demonic mantras and magic items in the human cultivation world were very rare, just like this magic treasure. For its original soul to exist without any damage, it was a rare thing.

Lin Feng deduced that this Eternal Night Demonic Stele was left behind when an Immortal Soul Stage Elder of a demonic sect perished during the war between the two worlds. In the end, it landed in the hands of the Golden Roc Grand Sage or the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi and was used to form the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Feng kept the Eternal Night Demonic Stele using the Purple Clouds.

After keeping it, Lin Feng took out a blue magic pearl, which was bigger than the Heavenly Oyster's Golden Pearl. The Heavenly Oyster's Golden Pearl was only the size of a fist, but this magic pearl was as big as a crystal ball that a witch used to read fortunes in Lin Feng's previous memories.

In the pearl, there was a blue light surging. There was a soft sound of waves rising inside. The pearl seemed to contain unlimited amounts of water.

Lin Feng used his supernatural awareness to scan the surroundings, and knew immediately that it contained a rich, water-type spiritual energy. It would shock anyone who knew it.

"This thing seems familiar. I seemed to have seen it in the system." Lin Feng was thinking, as his supernatural awareness entered the system. After checking, he saw something similar. "Water Spirit Heavenly Pearl. I've believe I've seen it before."

Lin Feng held this pearl and brought it in front of his eyes, nodding his head, "Hmm, for someone cultivating a water-type mantra, this is comparable to a Cloud Forest Tree."

But to Lin Feng, this pearl was not as attractive to him as something else.

It was another of the magic treasures for the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation. It was also the most important of all and was Lin Feng's main target when he went to the Cloud Forest World.

It was the remains of a beast that was entirely black.

The remains were not that big and was only around 3 meters in length. The bones were black and did not flash with any radiance. On the other hand, all light that got close to it would be engulfed by the darkness.

It was only a hint of dark blue aura that revolved around the remains and did not dissipate.

Although it was just the remains, it revealed a powerful aura that made one that look at it frightened.

A normal person could not even look at it directly, or else their gazes would be trapped in the dark power concept. Even his soul might be engulfed within it.

Lin Feng looked at the remains and laughed without making a sound. This was his target – the complete remains of a Mingdu that had formed the Undying Demon Soul.

A Mingdu was an Immemorial Demon and the King of Darkness. It was a savage beast that controlled the source of dark power. It looked like a leopard and had a lone horn on its head. Its entire body was black and had purplish-blue flowery patterns on its body. It was also extremely ferocious and brutal.

The Mingdu race had already disappeared from history for quite some time. In the Barren Expanses, the Mingdu race had not appeared for thousands of years.

To obtain such a complete set of remains was very rare. Lin Feng could not help but compliment the Golden Roc Grand Sage and the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi now.

After using mana to look into the remains of the Mingdu, he did not try to exorcise the dark power within it. On the other hand, he tried to use his mana to maintain peace and infuse with the dark world.

As expected, a weird thing happened. The originally destructive dark power became less scary and more peaceful, calm and even gentle.

Without a hint of killing intent and sense of destruction, the original ominous feeling that terrified others had disappeared completely.

Lin Feng felt that he had returned to his embryonic state, inside the womb of his mother. He was blur and without desires or thoughts, but he was the closest to the way of the Heavens.

It was as if he returned to the chaos and darkness before the Heavens and Earth opened. He nourished the air and nurtured the destiny of all lives, making complete preparations for the opening of the Heavens and Earth.

This was not an illusory feeling, or that he was scammed. It was real peace that nurtured all life.

"It is the case. My understanding of darkness is right." Lin Feng thought to himself, "Darkness encompassed the power concepts of destruction and murder, but also contained the concepts of life, nurture, peace and motherly love."

The difference was that a choice to infuse with darkness bred the motherly love that nurtured life. Over there, one was free, peaceful and calm.

But if one chose to break that darkness, then that darkness would be the most brutal opponent and destroy him.

Lin Feng was sure that if he unleashed the power of the Forever-Bright Tathagata Mantra, he would be chased by the darkness immediately. The entire world of darkness would become brutal and lead to an apocalypse.

Even if it was just a thought, Lin Feng could feel that the dark power had the tendency to change.

He used his mana to exit the remains of the Mingdu and went silent for a while. He opened his eyes after, "Darkness and light are true extremes. To comprehend them will be beneficial to one's cultivation."

Lin Feng waved his hands and kept the Mingdu remains within the Two Elements of Creation Formation. At the same time, the Netherworld Purple Crystal was sent in too.

"To obtain such a good thing, my preparations are more complete." Lin Feng mumbled to himself, "I have earned enough from the system's lucky draw. It's time to play it big."

Lin Feng looked at the remaining Cloud Forest Trees and lifted one of them. He pondered for a while, "This tree then."

Besides the various magic treasures and the Celestial Spirit Snow Dew, the biggest reward was the Cloud Forest Trees. Besides the highest quality tree of them all, Lin Feng decided to cultivate the rest of the seven trees. The huge amounts of spiritual energy in the Cloud Forest Trees will greatly reduce the cultivation cost of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao and Yue Hongyan all plucked one tree each. These four trees belonged to them. How they wanted to deal with it depended on them.

To Xiao Yan and the rest, what they did not lack was talent. What they lacked was time. With enough time, they could achieve big things.

Just that the Cloud Forest Tree contained a lot of spiritual energy. With their cultivation now, it was a little too much to absorb all, but it would undoubtedly speed up their cultivation process.

Wang Lin and Yang Qing were not on the mountain, thus they missed on the opportunity. But it was fine. Lin Feng kept the best Cloud Forest Tree for future purposes.

Out of the remaining three Cloud Forest Trees, Lin Feng would use one. The other two would be used for other purposes.

For instance, for the dying Great Thunderclap Temple Elder, Virtuous Zen Master, whose Golden-Plated Immortal Soul was almost destroyed.

Chapter 468: Show of Sincerity

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

When the bunch of elders wrestled, the disc holding the Hades' Dark Mantra was destroyed. The people above the disc who were at the Holy Fire sacrificial rites contracted bad luck as a result.

Long Ye and the Sirius Grand Sage were still fine. With the essence of the Cloud Forest Tree, they could protect themselves.

Whereas the bunch of elders were in deep trouble. Their essences were razed by the Holy Fire and their Immortal Souls were almost destroyed.

Even if they were left on their own, if no one came to their rescue, they could have succumbed by themselves. With such a huge calamity in destroying the disc, the result was even worse.

Lin Feng witnessed the situation from the side. When the others were fighting for the Hades' Dark Mantra, he acted decisively and saved the Virtuous Zen Master, Prince Anliang and the Stellar Holy Man.

Guanchong Swordmaster was also saved by the leader of the Mount Shu Sword Sect, Xin Longsheng.

But saving them was useless. They were in a very precarious state, and were about to perish.

Lin Feng supported their Immortal Souls temporarily using the Purple Clouds, thus they did not die yet.

He came in front of the Virtuous Zen Master first. The old monk sat on his knees, revealing a calm and peaceful expression. His skin surfaced a layer of dim golden color, as if he was a Buddha statue. But it was just that he was filled with injuries and could collapse soon.

The Virtuous Zen Master opened his eyes and saw Lin Feng, smiling, "Buddha is merciful. You must be the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. It must be destiny for me to see you today."

Lin Feng looked at him and asked, "From your tone of voice, it seems like you know me before today?"

The Virtuous Zen Master laughed while saying, "You are very reputable in the Divine Lands now. Although I don't mix with the world much, I have heard of you before. But as you said, before you became famous, I have heard of you before."

Lin Feng revealed a smiling intent on his face, "I have had the opportunity to meet two of the Great Thunderclap Temples disciples. One is called Hui Kong and the other is called Hui Ku. How are they related to you?"

The Virtuous Zen Master nodded his head, "I have met Hui Kong before and he mentioned your name."

"Hui Kong is still finding the sarira?" Lin Feng asked. The Virtuous Zen Master replied, "That is right. He is a sincere person and he never gives up."

Lin Feng's expression did not change and he asked, "If I can contact him, I will tell him that the 24 sariras that Hui Ku was finding previously has been found by me. I have sent it back to the Forest of Stupas behind the Great Thunderclap Temple to be buried."

The calm and peaceful Virtuous Zen Master was stunned and revealed a shocked look on his face. He looked at Lin Feng and Lin Feng nodded his head, saying, "Not only the 24 sariras, I have also sent the sarira that a highly-skilled monk who cultivated the Acalanatha Tathagata Mantra lost back to the Great Thunderclap Temple. It landed in the hands of the Heaven Lake Sect cultivators, but I found it."

He opened his palms and placed 16 pieces of sarira, "The 16 pieces of sarira that you were chasing are also here. I planned to return it to the Great Thunderclap Temple too."

"It has reached." As he spoke, Mount Yujing flew out of space and Lin Feng used his mana to bring the Virtuous Zen Master to the mountains where the Great Thunderclap Temple used to be.

The Virtuous Zen Master looked at the remains of the desolated Great Thunderclap Temple and the sarira in Lin Feng's palms, but did not speak.

Lin Feng dragged the sarira and looked at the Virtuous Zen Master, saying, "To prevent the mana vibration of the sarira, I have sealed it using my own powers. Since you are here, I will not deal with it further. I shall leave it to you."

The Virtuous Zen Master clasped his palms and said in a deep voice, "Buddha is merciful. For the sarira to return, it is all thanks to the fortune of the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. I should not be the one dealing with it. I hope that you can finish this job."

Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand. A weird hole opened on the ground and Lin Feng put the sarira inside it. There was a system message ringing.

"The 16 sariras have returned to the Nirvana Land with your help. The completed fraction is 16/1988. You have obtained a Buddhist sutra as a reward."

Lin Feng was stunned, "Is it because it was so hard to accomplish something like this? As long as a portion of the sariras were returned, then there will be a reward?"

Regardless, to have obtained a reward, Lin Feng was pleased. He opened the gift and saw a volume of the .

"Oh, it is a volume of Buddhist sutra. This is around the level of the Ksitigarbha Sutra and the Art of Acalanatha, but beneath that of the Tathagata Dharmas of the Compass." Lin Feng scanned it and knew that this is part of the Buddhist collection of the Great Thunderclap Temple in the past.

Among them all, the Tathagata Dharmas of the Compass was the best. Besides that, there were also other Buddhist collections. The Art of Acalanatha and the Bodhisattva Sutra were one of the best.

To Lin Feng, the effect of the Bodhisattva Sutra was not that great. Buddhist mantras could bring him help and provide references for him. Only the Tathagata Dharmas of the Compass and collections like the Bodhisattva Sutra could be used to supplement the Pavilion of Books.

But what Lin Feng noticed was that this volume of Bodhisattva Sutra was the complete book. From the outline to the sutra, even the abhijnas were present.

"For sending 16 sariras back, the system rewarded me with one of the Bodhisattva Sutra. If I return 160 sariras, what will be my reward? Will I get a volume of Tathagatha Mantra?"

Lin Feng pondered in his heart, "Or is there an even better reward once I reach a certain quota?"

As he was thinking, Lin Feng turned his head to look at the Virtuous Zen Master. He conjured a spell and cultivated a Cloud Forest Tree, converting it into a dense white light. Lin Feng drew a huge amount of spiritual energy from this white light and injected it into the Virtuous Zen Master's body.

The Virtuous Zen Master was shocked and did not speak. He shut his eyes and accepted Lin Feng's good will, cultivating the huge amount of spiritual energy with all his focus.

His injuries started to heal quickly and the golden light on his body became brighter and brighter. Eventually, he reverted to his look as a golden Buddha, releasing unlimited light.

Lin Feng looked at the golden Buddha in front of him and only saw that he was being lifted by 8 peacocks. His right hand was carrying lotus while his left hand carried a bell. He was expressionless and his entire body shone brightly. He looked extremely imposing.

"Is this the Golden-Plated Buddha that is cultivated from the Immortal Soul that was formed from the Forever-Bright Tathagata Mantra?" Lin Feng's gaze flashed and he looked quietly at the golden Buddha. The light on his body was slowly changing. The golden color was slowly dimming and what was left was only the pure light.

Just by looking at the Golden Buddha and feeling the power concept within, followed by referencing to the Supreme Light Mantra that he controlled of the Forever-Bright Tathagata Mantra, Lin Feng could feel that he was slowly figuring out the true meaning of Buddhism in the outline of the Forever-Bright Tathagata Mantra, the Amitabha Sutra.

After a while, the Virtuous Zen Master shed the golden Buddha look and returned to his original self. He looked better but was still weak.

He did not obtain the entire Cloud Forest Tree like Long Ye or the Sirius Grand Sage, but the essence that he got was enough to stabilize his Immortal Soul and prevent it from collapsing.

"Thank you for your helping hand." The Virtuous Zen Master clasped his palms and thanked Lin Feng sincerely, "I will also like to thank you for helping to return the sariras of my elders to the Nirvana Land."

Lin Feng replied, "Please do not stand on ceremony. In the Nirvana Lands, those who have already sought peace should not be disturbed. Previously, I visited the wasted stupa and had a revelation. I decided to find the missing sariras and return to the Great Thunderclap Temple."

"If I have further findings, I will send it to the Great Thunderclap Temple."

After the Virtuous Zen Master heard this, he nodded his head repeatedly, "You have done a lot of good deeds. I am eternally grateful towards you."

He looked around and saw the wasted temple, sighing, "As people die and the light is extinguished, it breeds a new cycle. But it is all just a part of Buddhism. All we see is just the appearance of it."

"I have always opened myself through this. But as I think about how the elder's sariras were blasphemed by others, I have always felt unbearable about it. My cultivation is still lacking."

Lin Feng laughed, "Once you look into your heart, you can find out who you are really are. A bladder can be empty or full."

The Virtuous Zen Master revealed a light smile, "What you say is true. I have learnt much from you."

Lin Feng asked, "What are your plans in the future?"

"I have a request." The Virtuous Zen Master hesitated for a while, before clasping his palms, bowing towards Lin Feng. "I hope to follow you to find the sariras and send them back to the Nirvana Land."

"The Great Thunderclap Temple has been destroyed. Everything is fixed in place. I have never thought that it will be rebuilt again either. So, I hope to commit myself to you and do my best for the Celestial Sect of Wonders, to repay you. I hope that you will grant me this wish."

After he finished saying, the Virtuous Zen Master bowed again towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked at him and laughed, "Master, you are too kind. You don't have to commit to me. If you want, you can be a guest over here."

"The Great Thunderclap Temple has experienced a disaster, and I have not felt good about it. But I don't wish that you detach from Buddhism. I have some fate with Buddhism. Since this is the case, we can let fate bring us further."

The Virtuous Zen Master nodded his head, "You are very magnanimous. I am grateful towards you."

Lin Feng smiled. Keeping the Virtuous Zen Master was a double-edged sword. The Great Thunderclap Temple experienced what it did because of some reason.

Besides being enemies with the Great Zhou Empire, the Great Void Sect and the Mount Shu Sword Sect entered the war to end Buddhism too. From what Lin Feng knew, it wasn't just about profits.

To accept a disciple of Buddhism now might cause problems in the future.

But there were benefits to it too. Besides having another Immortal Soul Stage Elder in the sect, which would increase the powers of the sect, Lin Feng could also obtain the Forever-Bright Tathagata Mantra.

This was a show of sincerity on Lin Feng's part, as he wanted to reap the benefits. After the Great Thunderclap Temple was destroyed, it was not only the Virtuous Zen Master who escaped. Although they were all separated, the combination of their powers was a strong show of strength. Lin Feng believed that Virtuous Zen Master and the rest would contact each other soon.

As for any future problems, Lin Feng had an idea, "If I can handle things well, not only will there be no disadvantages, there may even be unexpected rewards."

Chapter 469: Secret of the Immortal Soul

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Virtuous Zen Master was invited as a guest out of courtesy, which was not the same as Kang Nanhua or Miao Shihua, who were Guardian Elders. He was freer, but his relationship with the sect was not that close.

Kang Nanhua and Miao Shihao could claim to be from the Celestial Sect of Wonders, whereas the Virtuous Zen Master was still from the Great Thunderclap Temple.

But the Great Thunderclap Temple had been destroyed, thus he could be considered to be a part of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Lin Feng allowed him to remain Buddhist as he wanted to let the Virtuous Zen Master retain his connection with his roots.

To the Virtuous Zen Master, this was the best conclusion. He could feel Lin Feng's magnanimity and decided to repay Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders in the future.

As Lin Feng saw him in this state, he could not help but smile.

When he returned to Mount Yujing, he brought the Virtuous Zen Master to the Tripitaka Block. At the corner of the Tripitaka Block, there was a layer of bookshelf that contained collections of sutras. They were all Buddhist sutras that were placed in that bookshelf intentionally by Lin Feng.

The Virtuous Zen Master caressed these books and revealed a nostalgic look. Obviously, he recalled the Pavilion of Books at the Great Thunderclap Temple.

Lin Feng said, "Besides gathering the sariras and sending them back to the Great Thunderclap Temple to be buried, I have obtained some Buddhist collections unintentionally. Hence, I kept them here. I hope to see the Buddhist mantras being passed down in the future."

"Although the Great Thunderclap Temple was destroyed, as long as these collections are retained, there may be one day it rises again."

The Virtuous Zen Master took in a deep breath and bowed towards Lin Feng as he turned around, "You have done a lot of good deeds. Everyone in the Buddhist realm are grateful towards you."

He turned around and stared at a sutra before sighing, "Buddha is merciful. The last time I saw the Vairocana Sutra was during the war."

After the war, many of the elders passed away and the Pavilion of Books was also destroyed. This sutra was eventually lost." The Virtuous Zen Master shook his head and commented, "I believed that I will never see it again in this life."

"Although it lacks the Vairocana Zen Palm, it is still very rare already." The Virtuous Zen Master mumbled, "I thank Master Lin on behalf of all the Buddhist followers, to let this sutra reappear again."

The Virtuous Zen Master looked at the Vairocana Sutra in front of him. The Acalanatha Tathagata Mantra, Forever-Bright Tathagata Mantra, Art of Acalanatha, Bodhisattva Sutra, Ksitigarbha Sutra were all elite Buddhist mantras in the Great Thunderclap Temple. Now that they were all gathered together, the Zen spirit of the Virtuous Zen Master was drummed up at this point.

As he thought of the horrifying image of the destruction of the Great Thunderclap Temple, he almost cried.

Lin Feng smiled, "If I have any more of these in the future, I shall let you arrange and manage it. What do you think?"

The Virtuous Zen Master nodded his head and said seriously, "Thank you Master Lin."

Lin Feng and the Virtuous Zen Master exited the Tripitaka Block. They picked an abode on Mount Yujing for him to stay and retrieved a portion of the essence of the Cloud Forest Tree for him to recuperate and cultivate.

As a Buddhist follower, the Virtuous Zen Master's main goal is to cultivate his own body. As his own body was strong, he could resist the Holy Fire sacrificial rites. After that, he borrowed the essence of the Cloud Forest Tree to recuperate, but it was with much difficulty as he needed to tap on external forces to heal.

This was slow and the Virtuous Zen Master could only count on himself to manage it.

After sending the Virtuous Zen Master to rest, he drew two balls of essence from the Cloud Forest Tree and released Shi Zongyue and the Stellar Holy Man from the Purple Clouds.

They were both in critical condition due to the Holy Fire sacrificial rites. Prince Anliang was still a little better, but the Stellar Holy Man was already on the verge of dying. He was only a step away before his Immortal Soul was destroyed.

Under such a circumstance, Lin Feng could not inject the essence of the Cloud Forest Tree into his Immortal Soul directly. Otherwise, he could not take it.

Firstly, he used the Purple Clouds to pair with the powers of the Grand Moon Primordial Water to nourish the Stellar Holy Man's Immortal Soul. After that, he slowly infused the huge amount of spiritual energy from the Cloud Forest Tree into the Stellar Holy Man's Immortal Soul.

The Stellar Holy Man was already dying. But after a long while, he finally entered a more stable state. After waking up, he did not hesitate and revealed his Immortal Soul. He then absorbed the huge amount of spiritual energy to heal his Immortal Soul.

The essence was just a resource to heal the Immortal Soul. To fully heal it, it was still important for the cultivator to manage his powers appropriately.

The Stellar Holy Man's Immortal Soul Avatar converted into a river of stars. It looked dark and initially, there were only a few stars flashing. Furthermore, the radiance was dim and looked as if it could disappear anytime.

Following the shift in time, the stars brightened and became more and more. At the end, the river of stars was completely filled with stars that were flashing brightly.

Although it was not as bright as it was previously, the Stellar Holy Man had already escaped the clutch of death.

On the other side, Prince Anliang was in much better condition. With the provision of the essence of the Cloud Forest Tree, he recovered rapidly.

He did not reveal his Immortal Soul Avatar, which was the Crimson Imperial Dragon King. On the other hand, he revealed a 3 foot tall giant which wore a crown. It was imposing and wore a bright red magic robe. As its eyes opened, burning flames sprayed out of it and converted to red clouds.

Within the red clouds, there were the movements of Crimson Light Dragons.

This giant sat on its knees in space and revealed a weird atmosphere around it, as if it did not fit with the world it was in.

Lin Feng's gaze flashed, "Is this the virtual entity that you comprehended through your cultivation of the Imperial Script of the Crimson Dragon?"

There were three levels to the Undying Demon Soul. The first level was the immortal Demon Soul, second level was the original true spirit and the third level was the syncretic star soul.

For the Immortal Soul Stage, there were also three levels to it. The first level was the cultivation of avatar, second level was the cultivation of the virtual entity and the third level was the way of the virtual entity.

Before the realm of the Immortal Soul Stage, there were the Qi Cultivation Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Aurous Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage. But the foundation of it could be called the Qi Cultivation Paladin.

The Qi Cultivation Paladin was the natural life of the Heavens and Earth, which had a limit to its longevity.

Only by breaking the barriers and forming the Immortal Soul could one live like an immortal.

In the Immortal Soul First Level, where the avatar was cultivated, the cultivator's life form was altered. He would no longer absorb spiritual energy into his body for cultivation. On the contrary, he would infuse with the spiritual energy to become part of the Heavens and Earth.

As he became part of it, he became immortal too.

Unless the Heavens and Earth were destroyed, he would be immortal.

However, such a connection and infusion was weak. The connection was built on the cultivator's understanding of the Great Way of Tao at that moment in time. It was not a true translation of one's self into the Heavens and Earth, thus he might still be killed by a strong external force.

Because the Heavens and Earth were an entity, all the vital energy could be converted to mana. Hence, most Immortal Soul Stage Elders' mana would never be exhausted, unless there was a stronger opponent who could temporarily cut the connection between the cultivator and the world.

For instance, the Holy Fire sacrificial rites by the Golden Roc Grand Sage was the case.

Once the cultivator's avatar was damaged, the connection with the Heavens and Earth was no longer perfect. He would then be unable to tap on the vital energy to heal himself. This was the case with Shi Zongyue and the Stellar Holy Man. That was why they needed the essence of the Cloud Forest Tree.

When their injuries recovered and they infused back with the Heavens and Earth, their energies would recover rapidly.

The Immortal Soul Avatar was also the show of a cultivator's determination.

As the Immortal Soul Avatar improved, it could cultivate the virtual entity. It was different from the Immortal Soul Stage Avatar that infused with the Heavens and Earth. It was way beyond that as the cultivator understood the true meaning of Tao, forming a world on his own.

He did not rely on the Heavens and Earth any more, but owned a true and independent self. People were always below the Heavens, but as the virtual entity was cultivated, people and the Heavens started to become on the same level.

When Lin Feng pranked Xiao Yan previously, he once said that from the perspective of all life, they were an independent entity by themselves. Everyone was different.

But by leaving the perspective of a single person and adopting a new perspective through the world's eyes, one could realize that they were just a part of destiny.

Cultivation was a way for one to overcome this state of being average. Even if he looked from the broad view of the world, he was still different than the others.

When he said these words, Lin Feng was indeed trying to prank Xiao Yan. But these words were not wrong, as they described the goal of cultivation.

The cultivation of the virtual entity was the first step to seeking such an independence.

This was still very premature, but it was the foundation for everything to come.

Once an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator reached the second level, he could cultivate the virtual entity. The powers of the virtual entity were even higher than the Immortal Soul Avatar. At the same time, it superseded the state of mind of a cultivator by infusing the comprehension of the way of Tao into that cultivator.

Different people could have the same Immortal Soul Avatars. But every virtual entity was different.

However, these Immortal Soul Stage cultivators would not reveal their virtual entity in battle. Although it was strong, it was not used for battling. To a certain extent, it was like a Nascent Soul. Although it was strong, once it was damaged, it would cause great harm.

If the virtual entity was damaged, the cultivator might even revert to the Immortal Soul First Level

The giant that Shi Zongyue revealed was the virtual entity he cultivated using the foundation of the Imperial Script of the Crimson Dragon and the infusion of the true meaning of Tao.

Lin Feng watched as Shi Zongyue and the Stellar Holy Man cultivated. After a long while, the two of them stopped and kept their virtual entity and Immortal Soul Avatar respectively. They stood up and bowed towards Lin Feng, "Thank you for helping us!"

Lin Feng said, "There is no need to stand on ceremony. Since we entered the Cloud Forest World together, we should help one another."

He waved his hand and broke through space, "Xiling City is just below. I will send the both of you till here only. But if you wish to stay on this mountain, you are free to do so."

Chapter 470: Money Can't Buy Me Happiness

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

After Shi Zongyue and the Stellar Holy Man thanked Lin Feng, they decided to return to Xiling City.

After they left the mountain, Lin Feng did not command Mount Yujing to leave immediately. On the other hand, he remained hundreds and thousands of meters above ground.

After a moment, there was a vibration of mana coming from Xiling County. There was no evil intent and it seemed friendly instead. Lin Feng smiled and left the mountain, landing on top of Xiling City. Over there, there was a spatial gap opened in space. A middle-aged man walked out confidently.

It was the Great Qin Empire Emperor, Shi Yu.

He did not bring anyone with him this time. He was alone and dressed very casually, without his royal robe or crown.

Shi Yu dressed like a normal cultivator, but his royal aura was not lacking. Golden clouds rose around his body and lingered in the air.

Within the golden clouds, there were hundreds of streaks of rainbow light connected to his body before they extended into the surroundings.

Lin Feng looked at it more carefully and realized that the streaks of light were the aura of Immemorial Black Dragons that shone with rainbow light.

White, Green, Black, Crimson and Yellow were the five different colors. They represented the elements of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth. There were several light dragons for every color.

In the golden clouds, the light dragons loomed and their necks were wrapped around Shi Yu's body. Their tails pointed in all four directions and extended into space, as if there was no end. Lin Feng could feel that these light dragons were formed from the consolidation of the atmosphere of the royal rule of the Great Qin Empire.

This was Lin Feng's first time coming to Xiling City. As he felt the city beneath him, Lin Feng could feel the vast spiritual energy that gathered around here. That was the consolidation of the destiny of the Great Qin Empire.

Whereas this continuous destiny supplemented Shi Yu's body, converting into a royal aura that almost developed an entity. It went in all directions and places.

Shi Yu was more powerful here than when he was at the Cloud Forest World.

"As the oldest royal empire, even if the Great Qin Empire collapsed, its foundation is still strong." Lin Feng thought, "When I was near the Great Zhou Empire capital, Tianjing, I did not feel the consolidation of the empire's destiny.

"After all, the Great Zhou Empire only experienced a rise only in the recent few thousand years. It is not comparable to the much older Great Qin Empire. But Liang Pan controls the Imperial Palace. If he really wants to engage the Great Qin Empire in a blood war, besides Xiling City, there are no other places that can resist him."

Shi Yu looked at Lin Feng and said, "You have been very kind. I will like to express my thanks."

In the Cloud Forest World, when he battled the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation, he was slightly far from the Hades' Dark Mantra. After the disc that contained everyone broke, he wanted to save Shi Zongyue and the Stellar Holy Man, but he was beaten to it by Lin Feng.

Not only did Lin Feng save them, he helped them to heal their injuries using the essence of the Cloud Forest Tree. To the Great Qin Empire, this gratitude must be repaid.

The Great Qin Empire was an established empire, but the Immortal Soul Stage cultivators were an important force to them. Losing even one would be unbearable. Not to even mention Shi Zongyue, who had cultivated the virtual entity.

Shi Zongyue and the Stellar Holy Man were from the royal family and a high-ranking official respectively. They were loyal followers of Shi Yu.

Lin Feng smiled, "You are too kind. It was fate that we knew each other. Since they were in trouble, I tried my best to help them."

With regards to Lin Feng's words, Shi Yu dealt with it steadily. He did not come for anything formal. As he dressed casually, he brought his cultivator's identity to converse with Lin Feng.

Lin Feng lowered his head to look at Xiling City, laughing, "I believe I will bring my disciples here in the near future, which may cause disturbance. I seek your forgiveness then."

Shi Yu was totally engulfed by the golden clouds and his expression could not be seen properly. His voice was calm, "The Great Qin Empire welcomes Master Lin and the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

Lin Feng laughed, "Since this is the case, I shall leave. Please watch your step." He retreated and drifted off into space.

Shi Yu nodded his head and the surrounding golden clouds became brighter and brighter. Eventually, they converted to a ball of golden light and entered into Xiling City.

In the Great Qin Empire main palace inside Xiling City, there was a middle-aged man sitting down on the Emperor's seat carrying a royal aura. He wore a crown and dressed in the royal robe. As the golden light entered the palace, it shrunk into the eyebrows of the middle-aged man.

Inside the palace, there was a scholarly guy. He was no longer in cloth but wore official clothing, but he looked as simple as ever.

He looked refined and seemed deep in thought. He seemed forgiving, but unpredictable at the same time.

He was the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Empire, Wu Qingrou. Even as he was standing in front of Shi Yu, he looked calm and collected as ever.

Shi Yu asked, "Qingrou, is there a change in the situation?"

Wu Qingrou nodded his head, "The original plan was to lead the Mount Shu Sword Sect and Great Zhou Empire to contain each other, to prevent them from exploiting us as we deal with the hidden danger in our internal courts. But it seems like the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Mount Shu Sword Sect have clashed. Furthermore, the powers of the Celestial Sect of Wonders seemed to be higher than expected.

Shi Yu did not speak and looked at Wu Qingrou. Wu Qingrou remained the same and after being silent for a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Since this is the case, we shall alter our plans. We shall drag Mount Shu Sword Sect into this completely."

"With the powers of the Great Qin Empire, Great Zhou Empire and the Celestial Sect of Wonders, we shall deal a huge blow to the Mount Shu Sword Sect."

Shi Yu lifted his head and looked at him, saying, "Oh? Qingrou, such a suggestion is not aligned with our pace."

Wu Qingrou smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, I have a new idea indeed. In the past, I will cancel any original plans and not let a conflict burst out between the Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Great Zhou Empire. The Mount Shu Sword Sect will be contained by the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

"As for the Great Zhou Empire, we can make use of the Samsara Sect and lead the Great Zhou Empire to fight with the Samsara Sect. This can distract the Great Zhou Empire from interfering with the cleaning up process of our internal courts."

Wu Qingrou's tone of voice was calm and peaceful, but in truth, he had never mentioned the matter regarding the Samsara Sect. It was also not something the Great Qin Empire had planned secretly, but a pawn that Wu Qingrou set up himself.

After hearing this, Shi Yu's eyes did not even blink and he did not express any sense of fear. He just looked at Wu Qingrou and waited for him to finish speaking.

Wu Qingrou followed with, "As to why I change the original intention, that's because I know that Shi Tianhao will battle with the Shi Clan's man with polycoria. From the original plan, we will use this opportunity to make use of the power of the Celestial Sect of Wonders to diminish the influence of the aristocratic families."

"But it seems that now the pressure on the Celestial Sect of Wonders is a little high."

Shi Yu's expression did not change and he said, "You seem to imply something. Seems like the man with polycoria has found a new backer? Your change in plans is to reduce the number of changes in the original plan?"

Wu Qingrou laughed, "Your Majesty is brilliant. We either remain neutral or support Shi Tianhao in the battle of the Shis."

"Since you have the intention not to interfere in this battle, and the man with polycoria has found a new backer, if the Mount Shu Sword Sect continue to treat the Celestial Sect of Wonders as an enemy, Shi Tianhao and the Celestial Sect of Wonders will be experiencing a lot of pressure."

"As one party crushes the other party, the victor's power will only increase. If both parties are affected negatively, it will be the most beneficial for the Great Qin Empire."

Shi Yu looked at Wu Qingrou quietly, "It is not only beneficial to the Great Qin, is it?"

Wu Qingrou laughed, "Your Majesty is insightful. You can see through things."

Shi Yu nodded his head, "Since this is the case, you shall manage this."

Wu Qingrou bowed, "Noted."

Both of them went silent and looked in the direction of the sky to the west. It was the direction of Mount Kunlun.

At this point, Lin Feng had already guided Mount Yujing back to Mount Kunlun. He sat at the top of the mountain and watched Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao and the rest analyzing the Cloud Forest Trees that they obtained. Besides Zhu Yi who was more qualitative, the rest were laughing.

The four of them had gotten a Cloud Forest Tree each. They could manage it freely. From then on, it was entirely their property.

Kang Nanhua, Miao Shihao, Kui Cow King and the rest did not leave empty-handed. Lin Feng also had an entire Cloud Forest Tree with him. He prepared it for these Guardian Elders and Demon Lords. Although they did not possess a Cloud Forest Tree each, it was still very luxurious for them.

With their current Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, it would take very long for them to digest everything at one shot.

The Cloud Forest Tree was a huge reward that the Celestial Sect of Wonders obtained this time. It would help to increase the overall powers of the sect.

Although Jun Zining came from the Ancient Yuantian World, she knew the value of the Cloud Forest Tree. She could understand if everyone shared a tree. But as she looked at Xiao Yan and the rest, which included Yue Hongyan who was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, she felt that it was too much for them to have a tree each.

The Cloud Forest Tree was invaluable, especially since it was hundred thousands of years old.

If any of the 7 families in the Ancient Yuantian World obtained the tree, they would treat it as a treasure without a doubt. They would prepare the most fertile soil to grow the tree and deem the land as restricted. Even their own family members could not get close to the tree.

If any juniors dare to enter secretly, their legs would be chopped off and they would be confined. If they hurt a branch, their cultivations would be disabled and they would be locked up until they die.

If anyone dared to eye the Cloud Forest Tree, they must have a burning hatred within them.

That was because such a tree could allow a powerful cultivator to become even more powerful and enable an entire family to reach a whole new level.

And for this tree, other families would get envious and send spies to steal it. Whereas for the families that owned the tree, they would risk it all to protect it.

For something as precious as this, Shi Tianhao and the rest actually all had one of it. They did not even grow it. They just absorb the essence directly from it. Jun Zining's perspective on the world collapsed as she witnessed this.

Even the Great Void Sect, Mount Shu Sword Sect, Great Zhou Empire and Great Qin Empire did not dare to do it this way.

Lin Feng saw the scene in front of him and laughed, thinking, "Oh, I admit that this may be bordering on nouveau riche, but money can't buy me happiness. As long as I find it worth it and I can do it, what can you do to me?"

For his generosity, even Yan Nanlai and Liang Pan were shocked. They felt that it was not worth it, a waste, nouveau riche and acting like a wastrel.

But Lin Feng thought it was worth it.

As he always said, Xiao Yan and the rest were filled with talents but lacked time. With resources to speed up their growth, they would soon tell others that Lin Feng's sacrifice was worth it.

As he shook his head while laughing, Lin Feng prepared to enter the lucky draw system. Suddenly, he felt that someone was using the Voice-Projecting Crystal to communicate with people on the mountain.

Chapter 471: Not Afraid of a Powerful Opponent but a Lousy Teammate!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Mount Yujing was managed very strictly by Lin Feng. Nothing could enter. Whatever mana that came, as it encountered the Purple Clouds surrounding the mountain, Lin Feng would be alarmed.

Lin Feng sensed that it was someone from the external world who was using the Voice-Projecting Crystal to contact Jun Zining.

As what Lin Feng knew, her Voice-Projecting Crystal could only communicate with one person. It was not her family or the Purple Clouds Sect. It was Luo Qingwu, who she shared a close relationship with.

This left Lin Feng curious. Luo Qingwu had finally contacted Jun Zining at this point after losing contact for 6 months.

Lin Feng left a streak of mana in Luo Qingwu's Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl, which allowed him to control Luo Qingwu's body condition.

The feedback he received was not positive. There was no uptick in the condition of the pearl as it remained on the verge of breaking.

Lin Feng could feel that an external force was trying to enter to heal the pearl, but it was still futile.

In this period of time, Luo Qingwu stopped her cultivation and didn't swallow spiritual energy into her body. She relied on the powers of the petals of the Dual Polarity Flower given by Lin Feng to prevent the pearl from collapsing.

But the root of the problem was unsolved. Luo Qingwu could not continue cultivating and remained in her current state.

Otherwise, she could let the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl be destroyed totally and continue her cultivation. But her outstanding Innate Ability would be rendered useless.

Her Innate Ability would fall from 9 to 5 points. It was not entirely disastrous, given her high scores in the other areas. Even if the pearl was destroyed, the total score of her 4 statistics would still be 26 points.

But the others did not have the Talent Analysis Device like Lin Feng, thus they could not judge a person's talent.

To them, Luo Qingwu would become average after losing the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl. In the future, her achievements would be limited and she would no longer be a leader of fate.

Thus, regardless of whether it was Lin Feng or Luo Chi, or even Jun Zining, they envisioned that Luo Qingwu would not get the same treatment as she had if she returned to the Luo Family.

Lin Feng left that streak of mana so that Luo Qingwu could contact Lin Feng whenever she needed to. This was also a stroke that Lin Feng left behind intentionally.

But who knew that she did not contact him for half a year.

No one interfered and no one did anything weird with the mana he left behind. Her lack of contact was birthed out of her own intentions.

This made Lin Feng curious. But he was only curious. If she was spending her time leisurely, without any worries, that would not be so bad. After all, she was not even 10 years old. In her family, she was pampered and happy.

As Lin Feng thought of this, he allowed the streak of mana to achieve communication.

"Sister Zining..." Hearing Luo Qingwu's voice, it was confirmed that it was her on the line and not others who obtained the Voice-Projecting Crystal. Lin Feng stopped his mana so that both the ladies could converse privately.

But even if he did not want to listen to them, someone told him proactively.

As he looked at the troubled expression of Jun Zining, Lin Feng felt an ominous feeling, "What is it?"

Jun Zining creased her brows. As she faced Lin Feng, she stammered, "Elder, I…I have something to tell you, but I don't know how to say it."

As he thought of Luo Qingwu, he looked at Jun Zining, feeling a little anxious. He appeared nonchalant and asked, "What is it, you can just ask me."

Jun Zining hesitated, "That…about that, Qingwu contacted me."

She lifted her head carefully to look at Lin Feng and tested him, "Ugh, Elder, Qingwu, do you still remember her? She was with me on Mount Kunlun and was wearing red…"

"Of course, how can I not remember her?" Lin Feng twisted his lips and revealed a calm expression, "It is Luo Qingwu, I have an impression of her."

Jun Zining nodded her head repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that is right. Erm, she just spoke to me..."

Lin Feng looked at her quietly and waited for her to follow up with more things.

Since she had already started, Jun Zining threw away all her considerations and asked boldly, "Elder, do you remember that I asked you before whether her Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl has a chance of recovering? That time you said that it depended on her destiny and that it was too early…"

"But now, but now..."

Lin Feng understood, "Yes, my instinct is right. Her pearl has not healed."

He nodded his head slightly, "That's right, I did say that before. And now, I have confidence in healing her pearl."

Jun Zining was shocked, but after the shock she received, her expression became even more complex.

This change in expression left Lin Feng confused, "What is it, you can tell me."

Although Lin Feng was calm, his tone became more serious. To the people around him, he became more and more imposing.

Jun Zining swallowed her saliva and stammered as she told Lin Feng about her contact with Luo Qingwu.

Lin Feng listened to it and he was shocked. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.

If there was a phrase to describe what Lin Feng was feeling, then there's only one word that was suitable.

Agitated!

He felt extremely agitated!

Now, Lin Feng knew why Jun Zining was so troubled. He was even more troubled than her now.

His premonition was not far from Luo Chi or Jun Zining. After Luo Qingwu returned to the Ancient Yuantian World with the damaged Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl, before she was even treated with the warmth of her family, there were already people who poured cold water on her.

And as she could not heal the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl even after efforts to, her status in the Luo Family plunged.

Except for a few close relatives who doted on her even more, her life hit rock bottom in the other aspects.

What made Luo Qingwu unable to accept was the fact that her few favorite treasures were taken away from her. They were given to her to protect herself and aid in her cultivation. Now that Luo Qingwu's talent was voided, the Luo Family decided to take them back.

But to Luo Qingwu, they were treasures that had been with her since young. In her heart, they were not just a few treasures. This made her extremely sad.

The stroke that Lin Feng left behind should have exhibited its effect at this point, but something cropped up.

As he looked at the traumatized Luo Qingwu, Luo Chi could not bear it and mentioned Lin Feng to his masters. He said that Lin Feng treated her well and had fate with her.

What Luo Chi said was not entirely true. He did not know that Lin Feng had planted his mana inside Luo Qingwu, and could not figure out what Lin Feng was thinking either. He said that to preserve Luo Qingwu's status in the family.

But in this way, the Nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster developed other thoughts.

As she lost her Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl, it was possible that Luo Qingwu might be married off in a related marriage, as a pawn in the deal.

If what Luo Chi said was true, that Luo Qingwu and Lin Feng had fate with each other, why did he not send Luo Qingwu to become Lin Feng's disciple?

Lin Feng knew that Luo Qingwu's Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl was damaged. Under such a circumstance, Luo Qingwu was still well-liked by Lin Feng. Maybe the Luo Family could turn trash into treasure and use her to build up a close relationship with the rising Celestial Sect of Wonders.

During the battle of Mount Kunlun, the Aeolus Sect was destroyed. The news of Golden Crow Grand Sage being repressed by Lin Feng spread and the Celestial Sect of Wonders became extremely famous in the Divine Lands. They were also respected by many great powers and touted as the dominant sect in the new era.

Even the Grandmaster in the Immortal Soul Stage that came from the Luo Family approved the suggestion of the other family members.

If Luo Qingwu's Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl had not crushed, her future was still bright and the Luo Family might have to think before acting on that suggestion. But now that Luo Qingwu and the Celestial Sect of Wonders had built up a rather cordial relationship, such an investment could pay off if it was successful.

Luo Chi kept quiet about this and only hoped that Lin Feng was not just acting in the heat of the moment, that he was really protective of Luo Qingwu and would accept her as a disciple. To Luo Qingwu, it might be a blessing in disguise.

Especially, Luo Chi could roughly feel that Lin Feng might have an idea to heal Luo Qingwu's Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl.

If things end in that way, then all would be perfect and Lin Feng could get what he wanted.

But the Luo Family neglected the opinion of one person.

Luo Qingwu herself.

Lin Feng's stroke was about to exhibit its effect. Luo Qingwu had also the mind to contact Lin Feng. Not that she wanted to leave her family, but to temporarily distance herself from the harsh environment she was in and find someone who she could confide in.

But at this time, she realized that her elders wanted to throw her away like a good to Lin Feng and as a gift to build up their ties with the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Although they all claimed to be helping her, saying that this was a blessing in disguise, Luo Qingwu lost all warmth in her heart already.

At the same time, her impression of Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders dipped.

She made a fuss and did not talk from day to night. She did not even want to eat. She wasn't willing to go the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

The Luo Family was very troubled because of her. After all, their main goal was to let Luo Qingwu become Lin Feng's disciple, to let her interact with others. But they did not just want to send a thoughtless and lifeless person to him.

If she went to Mount Yujing, what she was going to do was just to offend others and act disrespectfully. The Luo Family wanted to form a good relationship with the Celestial Sect of Wonders, and not to bring trouble to both parties.

Thus, things remained in such a condition. As time dragged, many Luo Family members became impatient. The elders were still fine, but for the people in the same seniority level, they were gossiping a lot. The more they said, the worse Luo Qingwu's situation became.

Hence, Luo Qingwu's became angry and bitter about this. She threw a bigger tantrum. As for the method of contact that Lin Feng left behind, she did not even use it.

After understanding everything, Lin Feng did not whether to laugh or cry, "Damn it, she looks nice but she is actually very rebellious?"

As for the Luo Family, Lin Feng had the thought of killing them.

As the saying goes, it is fine to have a worthy opponent rather than a lousy teammate.

Lin Feng twisted his lips to look at Jun Zining, "What are the details of the situation now?"

Chapter 472: Risking It Big

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

To Lin Feng, he was never scared of a strong opponent. If his powers were indeed weaker, it was fine for him to lose.

But he was afraid of having a lousy partner. If he could have overcome the opponent, but lost because his partner dragged him down, he would be very agitated.

Regarding Luo Qingwu's situation, Lin Feng developed a headache because of it.

But he remained calm on the outlook and looked at Jun Zining, "What is the detailed situation?"

Jun Zining lowered her head and answered, "She is being kept safely at a small house in the Luo Family, with her mother accompanying her."

"A while ago, the Luo and the Yang Family engaged in a serious conflict again. This time round, the clash is very intense. There were deaths. In the conflict…the place Qingwu was staying at was attacked."

Lin Feng's expression did not change, "She landed in the hands of the Yang Family?"

"No, she didn't.' Jun Zining shook her hand and answered, "But during the chaos, she ran away from there. Luckily, someone from the Great Zhou Empire came to the Ancient Yuantian World. Qingwu sneaked into a sedan of theirs and arrived at the Divine Lands."

Lin Feng felt a worse headache.

The 7 Families of the Ancient Yuantian World were the profit representatives of the various great powers in the Divine Lands. Behind the Luo Family was the Great Zhou Empire. Lin Feng knew this long ago, but he did not think that Luo Qingwu would actually sneak into the Divine Lands.

The person who was sent to the Ancient Yuantian World by the Great Zhou Empire should have been a brilliant person, regardless of his cultivation. He would have discovered her among his group. But he still let her follow them to the Divine Lands. What was he planning? This was very unexpected.

Or maybe he had already found out her identity but did not know that her Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl was damaged, so he let her stay?

This caused another problem for Lin Feng.

Precisely because the Luo Family was more of a hindrance than help, it was inconvenient for Lin Feng to find Luo Qingwu. At least stopped her before she changed her mind, otherwise even if she came to the mountain, the result would not be as expected.

He wanted to accept a disciple, not to kidnap anyone.

"That's why I say that such a rebellious kid is a problem." Lin Feng laughed bitterly in his heart, "At this time, I need someone to counsel her. But I can't do it and nobody in the Celestial Sect of Wonders can do it, except for…"

Lin Feng's vision landed on Jun Zining and saw that she was looking at him uncomfortably.

At the end, she was just a 12 year old lady.

Lin Feng said calmly, "I am quite confident of healing her damaged Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl. If she is willing, she can come to Mount Yujing."

Jun Zining revealed an excited look on her face and nodded her head repeatedly, "Thank you Elder, Thank you Elder."

Previously, she felt uncomfortable because she thought that she was being too disrespectful by telling Luo Qingwu's problems to Lin Feng. She was afraid that Lin Feng would be unhappy with it. But now, it seemed that Lin Feng did not mind.

This caused Jun Zining to heave a sigh of relief, "Luckily, this Elder Lin is magnanimous, otherwise I would have implicated Qingwu."

But following that, Jun Zining was troubled again. Lin Feng did not keep a grudge, but if Luo Qingwu wanted to heal her own Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl, she had to approach by herself. She could not expect Lin Feng to go and find her.

Jun Zining looked troubled again. Previously, when she communicated with Luo Qingwu, she could hear that Luo Qingwu had not changed her mind yet. How could she approach Lin Feng for help personally?

After recalling that she caused Luo Qingwu's Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl to be damaged after asking her out for a walk, Jun Zining felt slightly unbearable. After thinking for a while, she said to Lin Feng, "Elder, I wish to find Qingwu and bring her here. Please let me do so."

She made up her mind and decided to counsel Qingwu after finding her. She wanted to put in some good words for Lin Feng, so that Luo Qingwu would be willing to come to Mount Yujing at the very least.

Jun Zining felt that she had to be quick. If she dragged, Lin Feng might change his word. That would be disastrous then.

Lin Feng thought, "For you to initiate this, it is definitely the best."

He nodded his head and said, "No harm, go and do what you need to."

He looked at Jun Zining and pointed in the direction of the Inferno Precipice, where Xiao Yan resided. "Go there and find my disciple, Xiao Yan. Borrow the Black Cloud Flag from him. The Great Zhou Empire is very far from Mount Kunlun. The Black Cloud Flag can help you to travel faster."

For such a long distance, only someone in the Nascent Soul Stage could break through space and travel across it. If one walked, she would take forever to reach there.

If it was the disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Lin Feng would send the Kui Cow King or Jieyu to send them. But Jun Zining had not entered the sect yet and was only a guest. To use Jieyu to send her would be too much.

If it was a magic item, Jun Zining had not established her foundation, thus she could not command it. What was suitable was only the Black Cloud Flag, that could shift space.

Jun Zining was too excited and bowed towards him, "Thank you Elder!" She approached the Inferno Precipice to retrieve the item.

Lin Feng watched as Jun Zining left, thinking, "She is so anxious, I hope she will disappoint."

After sending her off, Lin Feng pondered for moment and summoned Dao Zhiqiang.

He came before Lin Feng and greeted him, "My Master."

Lin Feng looked at Dao Zhiqiang and could not help but smile. Dao Zhiqiang's cultivation talent was average. Under normal conditions, he could promote to the Aurous Core Stage. To form a yellow pill was his limit.

Even in such a holy ground like Mount Yujing and with Lin Feng's help, his probability of forming the Nascent Soul was almost zero.

But he handled the everyday stuff well. He was a meticulous and hardworking person. As a supervisor, he was a talent.

Before Dao Zhiqiang came to the mountains, the daily chores of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were managed by Kang Nanhua and Zhu Yi. With Dao Zhiqiang, they were relieved of their duties. Furthermore, Dao Zhiqiang did it quite well and managed the various chores nicely.

He was also a well-behaved chap. Whatever that he was sent to do, he would do it diligently. He would not ask too much if he was not told. He controlled himself well.

Lin Feng looked at Dao Zhiqiang and said, "Today, I will let Song Qingyuan from the Heaven Lake Sect off the mountain."

Dao Zhiqiang did not reply and just stood there, listening to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng said, "As for your daughter, do not worry. As Song Qingyuan return this time without any anything to him, he won't trouble your daughter. On the other hand, he will treat her better."

Dao Zhiqiang heaved a sigh of relief and bowed towards Lin Feng again, "Thank you Master, I am grateful towards you."

Lin Feng nodded his head and used his mana to send Dao Zhiqiang off. As the Purple Clouds surged, Song Qingyuan was brought before him.

Over these period of time, Song Qingyuan had been confined on Mount Yujing and his movements were restricted to a stone room.

He was obedient and did not rebel. He waited patiently for Lin Feng to deal with him. Although there were times that he was frustrated, on the whole, he was very calm. Normally, he would stay in the stone room to cultivate and comprehend mantras.

"The disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders are indeed fortunate. The spiritual energy on Mount Yujing is rich. Even the Holy Ground in the deep end of the Heaven Lake Sect's caves cannot compare!"

If he was not like a prisoner, Song Qingyuan would like to stay on the mountain without leaving.

As he saw Lin Feng again, Song Qingyuan was a little uncomfortable. He greeted Lin Feng, "I am Song Qingyuan. I have seen Elder Lin before."

Lin Feng asked, "How are you?"

"To cultivate in your mountain, it is my fortune." Song Qingyuan paused for a moment and answered honestly, "But I still hope to return to the Snow Mountains, as my elders may have missed me. I hope that Elder Lin will grant me this wish."

Lin Feng revealed a light smile, "That is possible. Please help me to convey my greetings to your master." After saying, he sent Song Qingyuan down the mountain using his mana.

As he saw that he was looking at Mount Kunlun, Song Qingyuan was stunned. He took in a deep breath and lifted his head to look at space.

He recalled that he had once coincidentally saw Dao Zhiqiang moving freely on the mountain.

"Maybe..." Song Qingyuan squinted his eyes, "I have to report to Master quickly."

Lin Feng sat on the mountains and looked beyond space. He saw Song Qingyuan's back view and could not help but smile. He could not let Dao Zhiqiang appear in front of Song Qingyuan. That would have been revealing too much.

It was fine just the way it was. People often liked to take whatever they saw coincidentally as reality.

After settling Dao Zhiqiang and Song Qingyuan, Jun Zining had already gotten the Black Cloud Flag from Xiao Yan. She came to bid Lin Feng goodbye and was sent down the mountain by Lin Feng. She started her journey towards the Great Zhou Empire.

"Now, let us begin." Lin Feng's awareness entered the system's lucky draw. Without even looking at the dice lucky draw system and the roulette lucky draw system, he entered the lot drawing lucky draw system.

The winning items of the dice and roulette lucky draw system were pre-determined by the system.

Whereas the lot drawing lucky draw system had a special prize, which can be used to change for any item in the list of items in the exchange system.

If the red lot was drawn, it was the special prize. He could get the item that he wanted then, by changing the lot with it, even if the item might cost hundreds of thousands of exchange points.

From the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai to the destruction of the Aeolus Sect at Mount Kunlun to the big harvest at the Secret Manual of Kun Peng and the Cloud Forest World, Lin Feng had accumulated enough chips for this day. He wanted to risk it all.

Lin Feng opened the first page of the exchange system. Without even looking, he went straight down to the last few items on the menu and laughed to himself, "What dice or roulette, they can stay at one side. I am going to use this opportunity to get a few good items."

Chapter 473: The Draw Starts!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Among the last few items in the exchange system, in terms of exchange points, they were in the bracket of ten thousand points and above.

These items had never appeared in the dice or roulette lucky draw system, which made Lin Feng suspicious. When their price exceeded more than ten thousand, they would be unable to be drawn from the dice or roulette system.

In terms of exchange points, the most valuable item in these two lucky draw systems was only the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir, which was worth eight thousand points.

Apart from the Sect Construction Token, this thing was also not present in the exchange system as it was unable to evaluate its worth.

That was why Lin Feng accumulated many chances at the lucky draw and sufficient chips for himself to use. Using the lot drawing lucky draw system, he could get whatever he wanted from the format it was set up.

His first choice of all was the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation!

This was a special item in the system. It did not exist in the Grand Celestial World and its effects were for cultivators below the Immortal Soul Stage. Once taken, it allowed the cultivator to progress to the next small realm.

Even if it was the progression from the Intermediate Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage to the Advanced Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, this item could make it smooth. Furthermore, there were no side effects. Its effects were unbelievable.

If the cultivator was in the Advanced Stage of the Foundation Establishment, Aurous Core or Nascent Soul Stage, consumption of the elixir would allow him to increase his probability of breaking into the next realm. The elixir could only be consumed once in a person's life. The second time would produce no effect.

When this elixir first appeared in the list of items in the exchange system, Lin Feng had already been eyeing it. But it was obvious that taking this elixir was the most useful in the Nascent Soul Stage. That was why Lin Feng had been holding back without making a move.

Of course, another reason why he did not make a move was because the exchange price of the elixir was too high. It was the most expensive elixir in the exchange system, as it costed tens of thousands of exchange points. The total points that Lin Feng had accumulated since the start was insufficient.

But it was different this time, as Lin Feng tapped on the red lot method in the lot drawing system. He hoped to win the item out of it.

Lin Feng obtained half the body of the ancient Kun Peng. Tens of thousands of years ago, there were many cultivators and demons that had perished in the Kun Peng's stomach. That was how so many good stuffs were left inside the stomach of the Kun Peng. The Vairocana Sutra broken rag that Zhu Yi found and the stone sword that Shi Tianhao obtained were one of them.

Lin Feng broke a decent Nascent Soul Stage magic item and went up. A lot pot appeared and there were 30 lots in it.

"3 red lots?" Lin Feng creased his brows. There were at most 6 red lots, which made up a 20% success probability. Now that there were only 3 lots, that meant that the system judged that the chips Lin Feng dealt were insufficient.

Besides the 3 red lots, there were almost 10 long white lots which allowed one to win a random item. There were also 12 normal white lots that returned a participant's chips if he drew that. Last but not least, there were 5 short white lots that left a participant empty-handed.

After the lot drawing started, the 30 lots were placed in the lot pot. The lot pot spun rapidly before stopping. All the lots remained in the lot pot.

The external appearances of the lots were all the same. Lin Feng did not hesitate and grabbed a random lot.

After the lot was taken out of the lot pot, Lin Feng revealed a smile on his face.

It was red!

"Haha, this is good!" Lin Feng laughed. His luck today was good. He had achieved what he wanted at his first shot, even though he only had a 10% probability.

The Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation that the system provided appeared in front of Lin Feng. Before Lin Feng grabbed the elixir, it trembled a little. It had the intention to escape.

Lin Feng used his mana to hold the elixir down, "It is indeed like the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir. Such high-quality elixirs can form their own spirit. The spirit of this Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation is superior to that of the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir."

The surface area of the elixir was not huge, as it was only as big as a thumb. It was not a smooth circle and it did not even look like a real entity. It was formed from cloudy gas that kept on threshing and changing.

Without even using his supernatural awareness to find out, he could feel the unlimited space within the cloudy gas. It resembled the Celestial Palace and the 33 forms of the Heavenly Palace.

Lin Feng sensed for a while and realized that within this elixir, there was the projection of the Great Way of the Heavens and Earth. It formed an overlap of space. When consumed, although the cultivator could not comprehend this Great Way of the Heavens and Earth directly, he could still get a glimpse of clues, which would greatly help his future cultivation.

This elixir could not be defined purely as an "elixir" anymore. More accurately speaking, the elixir was the receptacle while it contained the projection of the Great Way of the Heavens and Earth.

Upon consumption of this elixir, not only would it promote the realm of the cultivator, it would also be useful to his future cultivation. Just one single consumption could benefit him in his entire life.

Lin Feng squeezed the elixir and thought in his heart, "I exchanged a Nascent Soul Stage magic item for something as good as this. I have earned. But I'm not sure whether the medicine room of the Celestial Golden Pavilion can deduce the complete formula for this elixir.

For such a special elixir like the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation, even if the formula for it was deduced, cultivating it would still be difficult.

Even so, Lin Feng was already pleased. If this elixir could be mass produced, it would allow the powers of the Celestial Sect of Wonders to increase leaps and bounds.

Lin Feng kept the elixir and continued with the lucky draw.

With the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation in his hands, Lin Feng became more relaxed. Just like he was rushing for a sale, he focused his attention on the last few items in the exchange system, which were the most valuable and expensive items in terms of exchange points.

There were successes and failures in a lucky draw. It was possible to get something as good as the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation through the red lot, but it was also possible for one to draw the normal white lot and return only with his original chips.

If one was even more unlucky, he could even draw the short white lot and end up empty-handed, along with sacrificing his original chips.

However, Lin Feng could not be stopped, not even by the system.

The Heavenly Soul Marble was the fourth item from the bottom of the list of items in the exchange system. 10,800 exchange points were needed to obtain it.

On the surface, it looked like pure marble with an elegant moire pattern. It flushed with spiritual energy and was a top-class material in the Grand Celestial World to cultivate magic items.

It was very rare. Its solid form was a rock, but it was birthed from the layers of clouds in the sky. There was also no rhythm by which it adhered to where it formed.

But its effect was unbelievable. Naturally, it contained the secrets of space and contained the effect of restoring energy. As long as a hint of it was added to a cultivation item, the item could transcend space.

Furthermore, if the magic item was damaged, it could swallow spiritual energy on its own to recuperate.

As for the formation of the Nascent Soul, or for a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, the effect did not look great. However, for a cultivator in a lower cultivation, it was a precious treasure.

For cultivators in a lower cultivation than the Nascent Soul Stage, adding a little of the Heavenly Soul Marble when they cultivated an item would allow them to comprehend the mysteries of space more rapidly. This helped to increase the probability of forming the Nascent Soul. This was different from the teachings of an elder as this involved one's own comprehension and understanding of the true meaning within it.

If such a marble appeared, it would be contested among various great powers.

Just a hint of the Heavenly Soul Marble was needed to exhibit its effect. Whereas the piece of Heavenly Soul Marble that Lin Feng obtained could be divided into countless of pieces.

Besides the Heavenly Soul Marble, there was also the Mind-Clearing Still Jade. It was second from the bottom in the list of items in the exchange system. It was more expensive than the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation, as it costed 50,000 exchange points.

From the outside, the jade looked average. But just a piece of the jade could summon a mind-clearing scent, allowing cultivators to enter a miraculous realm.

When the Heavens and Earth first opened and chaos first descended.

A mother nurturing a kid resembled the state when chaos first descended. When one was an infant, his brain was confused and he was barely awake.

This was a cultivation state that every cultivator hoped to achieve. As his state of mind was in chaos, it fulfilled the true meaning of Tao.

This state allowed one to enter a special realm. Cultivation in such a condition achieved a better result than any other times.

Even Lin Feng himself had only such an experience a couple of times coincidentally. During this cultivation, time seemed to pass very quickly. But to return to this state afterwards would be difficult.

Just like how an inspiration appeared coincidentally and was not forced out.

And there were many cultivators in the world that had never entered such a state in their entire lives.

Of course, it was necessary to know how to exit such a state by will, otherwise one might be confused and this might lead to death.

Whereas the scent summoned by the jade could allow the cultivator to enter such a cultivation state. Although there were still restrictions, it was still a valuable treasure.

After all, such a state was yearned by cultivators who had the Immortal Soul First Level. Cultivators with the Immortal Soul Second Level could enter at will, but not every attempt would be successful. Only those with the Immortal Soul Third Level could enter anytime they wanted to.

This Mind-Clearing Still Jade was also an item superior to the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation. It could allow Lin Feng and his disciples to improve significantly in terms of their powers.

Besides the Mind-Clearing Still Jade, Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation and Heavenly Soul Marble, Lin Feng also drew a long white lot that gave him a random item.

There were many items in this category that were worthless and useless, but there were also items that made Lin Feng pleased. For example, there was a Sect Construction Token and a Spiritual Spring Marrow, the main ingredient to make the Marrow Elixir.

But Lin Feng's entire attention was placed on the last item in the list of items in the exchange system.

He still had two lucky draw opportunities. He had already used two and his goal was to obtain the last item. But that two attempts were wasted.

But Lin Feng did not plan to give up. He had to obtain this item.

It was for nothing but the price of this item. He had to take a gamble.

The system had already stated that everything that it put out was worth it.

And this last item's price was a hefty 300,000 points!

Chapter 474: Magic Treasure of Cultivation

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

300,000 exchange points was equivalent to the summary of the exchange points of the previous 3 items that Lin Feng obtained.

What made people speechless was the usefulness of this item. Besides the price, all Lin Feng could tell about the item was that it was only a painting.

It was blurry and nothing could be seen clearly, but there was a voice telling him something.

It was a huge bell.

There was no reason or evidence, but as Lin Feng looked at the painting, he felt as if what was behind the chaos in the painting was a huge bell.

The worth of this item was not only demonstrated in the hefty 300,000 exchange points that it costed. It was also demonstrated by how Lin Feng's chips had only gotten him one red lot.

That was the lowest probability reached. In other words, there was only less than a 4% chance that the item could be obtained.

In the first round of lucky draw, Lin Feng used a very good Nascent Soul Stage magic item, but only obtained one red lot, six long white lots, nine normal white lots and an alarming fourteen short white lots.

Under such a circumstance, the system determined that the Nascent Soul Stage magic item that Lin Feng had used as collateral was nothing compared to the worth of the huge bell.

Therefore, in his second try, Lin Feng used a piece of damaged magic treasure from the Secret Manual of Kun Peng. This magic treasure was the same as Shi Tianhao's stone sword. It was not damaged physically, but its original soul had been destroyed. However, its foundation was still very good. If an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator used some effort to cultivate it, it could return to its former peak again.

This time, the number of red lots were more.

Two red lots.

There were two red lots, nine long white lots, twelve normal white lots and seven short white lots in the lot pot.

After failing in two tries, Lin Feng was even more excited. After pondering for a moment, he retrieved the Water Spirit Heavenly Pearl.

Among the treasures that the Golden Roc Grand Sage and the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi used to form the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation, the Water Spirit Heavenly Water was used as the carrier of the powers of Mercury. It contained extremely nourished water-type spiritual energy. Although it was not a magic treasure or a magic embryo, it was an extremely precious water-type treasure.

If it landed in the hands of an Immortal Soul Stage Elder, it was also a good material to cultivate a magic treasure.

Lin Feng passed the Water Spirit Heavenly Pearl to the system. The lot pot in the lucky draw system showed thirty lots again.

There were three red lots, ten long white lots, twelve white lots and five short white lots.

As the lucky draw started, all of them entered the pot. After they were spun rapidly, Lin Feng grabbed a lot randomly.

It was a white lot. He did not get the huge bell and there was no other item he obtained. The Water Spirit Heavenly Pearl was returned to him in the original state, but he had wasted an opportunity.

Lin Feng did not give up. Although he was left with a last chance in the draw, he did not panic. He looked at the Water Spirit Heavenly Pearl and went into deep thought.

"Even something in the level of a magic treasure embryo is too lousy. I think only an Immortal Soul Stage magic treasure can make it."

Lin Feng pondered for a while and passed the broken rag that recorded the Vairocana Sutra to the system. Since the sutra had been recorded, the broken rag was not worth that much to him anymore.

Although the rag did not contain the outline of the Vairocana Zen Palm, it was still very valuable.

As expected, it produced a better effect than the Water Spirit Heavenly Pearl. The system produced five red lots.

The highest number of red lots was only six. For five red lots to appear was already very rare.

Lin Feng was not depressed and became even more excited, "There's not even six red lots, does it mean that the worth of the huge bell is even higher?"

As the draw started, the lots in the lot pot spun rapidly. They soon stopped, but Lin Feng did not rush to pick one. He paused for a moment before deciding to take one of the lots.

Once this lot was taken out of the lot pot, Lin Feng took in a deep breath.

Red!

He had struck lottery!

"Haha, 300,000, 300,000. I have obtained an item worth 300,000 exchange points. Even if I sold myself, I will not be able to get 300,000 exchange points."

The rag disappeared and Lin Feng waited for the system to hand over the huge bell. Who knew that nothing happened for quite some time.

"Oh? Is the system down?" Lin Feng raised his brows. Although he knew that the system possessed no morals or ethics and often scammed people, he would be enraged if it decided to come up with funny tricks at this critical moment.

At this point, Lin Feng heard a weird noise resonating in his ears. It came from within his soul, but seemed to transcend boundless space.

"Is that…the ring of the bell?" Lin Feng wondered. In Lin Feng's mind, there was a blurry figure appearing. Following the sound of the bell, the figure became clearer.

It was indeed a weird huge bell. It was filled with a sense of dilemma. At first, it looked extremely tiny like dust. But in the next moment, it seemed to be extremely huge and covered the entire universe.

Lin Feng's mind transcended boundaries at this moment and was no longer restrained. As he stared at the huge bell, he seemed to see the most primitive form of chaos. And as the bell rang, the primitive form of chaos converted into the universe. The cosmos were born and lives started to grow. But then everything disappeared.

Lin Feng watched as the Greater Worlds were birthed from chaos one by one. They divided to form the two extremes, defining the Earth, Water, Fire and Wind elements. As the Heavens and Earth split open, lives sprung and the development of life occurred. Eventually, they walked towards destruction and everything went back to chaos.

As he saw this, Lin Feng realized the meaning of this huge bell.

This huge bell was Lin Feng's own mantra, formed from the true meaning of the Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtues.

The Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtues was formed from Lin Feng's various mantras, Great Way of the Tao and the will of the Heavens and Earth under the help of the system. It explained the true meaning of destiny and represented the cycle of life as well as the power concept of the world turning to dust.

When the system helped Lin Feng, it created this huge bell at the same time.

The Bell of Destiny!

The bell was still in its embryonic form. It only existed in the mind of Lin Feng. It could not even be considered a magic item, but was a magic treasure that fulfilled Lin Feng's concept of mantra. It was a magic treasure most suitable for Lin Feng. When Lin Feng formed the Immortal Soul and as his cultivation reached a higher level, it could be a magic treasure of cultivation and life.

Lin Feng watched the Bell of Destiny in his mind. Space resonated with the sound of the bell, which seemed to transcend unlimited time and space.

Within the sound, the huge Bell of Destiny underwent changes gradually. Eventually, it converted into a huge stone door. The stone door was pitch-black and was filled with countless images of sculptures. There was a strong sense of life among the desolation.

The first transformation of the Bell of Destiny, the Door of Life Creation!

It represented the birth of unlimited life. The Door of Life Creation contained the destiny of the world as chaos created it and the powers of the Heavens and Earth!

"Open!"

In his supernatural awareness, Lin Feng roared at the Door of Life Creation. As a "boom" resonated, the Door of Life Creation creaked and opened in two directions.

As the door opened in two directions, a long and formless river flowed. The river water did not cease and flowed with a constant rhythm. It was filled with a strength that allowed it to continue flowing forever!

The second transformation of the Bell of Destiny, the River of Time!

It represented the forward-moving aspect of time, as nothing could reverse time. It showed how everything grew with time and contained the power of the flow of time!

Following the passing of time, Lin Feng's mind seemed to have experienced boundless time. As time passed, he witnessed the change in everything and understood every process in the growth of life.

When the River of Time reached its end, what appeared in front of Lin Feng was a figure of a book.

The book was normal and there was no hint of aura emanating from it. It was only very quaint and desolate.

Lin Feng revealed a slight smile on his face. This was the third transformation of the Bell of Destiny. It was the Book of Collapse that represented the control of the death of all matter. It was the power that led all matter to collapse!

For all matter, there was glory, but there was also destruction. As life sprung, there was also bound to be the destruction of life.

The pages of the book kept flipping. When the book flipped to the last page, what appeared in front of Lin Feng was a nihilistic chaos. Everything was blurry and nothing could be seen clearly.

Lin Feng extended his hand into the chaos and seemed to have grabbed hold of something.

At this point, the surrounding chaos gathered and disappeared in the end.

Everything disappeared and only Lin Feng's palms were mimicking a grabbing action.

Nothingness was the last transformation of the Bell of Destiny. It represented the destruction of all life and the return to the primitive form of chaos.

At the same time, it represented the power of termination. Everything was terminated and converted to nothingness. They did not exist anymore and left no traces.

"As life grew old and sick and everything turned bad, it fulfills the call of destiny."

As he rewatched the Bell of Destiny mimicked destruction, it was a valuable experience for Lin Feng. It was as if he re-cultivated all his mantras again, allowing his understanding of the true meaning of the way of the Heavens and Earth to reach a new level. This also allowed the foundation of his mantras to be sturdier.

Lin Feng's supernatural awareness detached from his mind slowly and he reopened his eyes to reality. He laughed, "The 300,000 exchange points is worth it!"

He had only two chapters of his Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtues. If he could develop them to the extreme, it could be the most powerful mantra in the history of the Grand Celestial World.

And a magic treasure with it as the foundation would make the treasure extremely precious in this world.

Therefore, even though it was formless, it was still very precious.

Lin Feng looked at the elixir, jade and the other treasures in his hand and revealed a smile, "The time is ripe."
