Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

As he felt the changes in the Parasol Tree Wood Essence, he discovered that the life images within it were getting more and more intense. It was also developing a greater self-awareness. Xiao Yan lifted his head and looked at Lin Feng, "Master, is this Parasol Tree Wood Essence turning into a demon?"

Lin Feng looked at the Parasol Tree Wood Essence curiously and shook his head, "This is only the essence of the Divine Parasol Tree and not the entire Divine Parasol Tree. It was also retrieved from a very powerful Parasol Tree Wood."

"Through all the cultivation, it had the potential to become a demon, but now, it's not converting into a demon. Although it also has its own self-awareness, it is a new life rather than a demon. To classify it, it is more of a freakish species, something like Lucky."

Xiao Yan looked at the Parasol Tree Wood Essence more carefully and mumbled, "This thing seems very powerful."

"That's right. Although it is very tender, it's power concept is not ordinary. Its potential is even greater." Lin Feng nodded his head and started to laugh suddenly, "Xiao Yan, this is not any different from hatching an egg. You have hatched a very good treasure."

Xiao Yan could not help but laugh, "Master, if this was an egg, I would have recognized it. It's just a piece of wood essence, what is there to hatch?"

As the two of them conversed, they watched as the Parasol Tree Wood Essence become dimmer and dimmer, until it became charcoal black.

And in the next moment, the pitch-black Parasol Tree Wood Essence suddenly shot out a bright red light. Within the red light, a human figure appeared.

Lin Feng and Xiao Yan focused on the figure and only saw a female doll that looked like a sculpture. She looked only 2 or 3 years old and her plump hands were on the edges of her lips, with one of her powder-white fingers touching it. Her huge eyes were turning in the eye socket.

As the doll looked at Xiao Yan, her bright eyes became even brighter and revealed a sense of happiness and familiarity. She opened her arms wide and hugged Xiao Yan.

"What a cute doll." Xiao Yan hugged her back while laughing. But before he could react further, a crisp child voice caused him to stone.

"Father!"

The voice was crisp and clear. There was no hesitation in it, but it was like a thunder roar, causing Xiao Yan to tremble as it sounded. He almost dropped the doll. He stared at the little doll in his arms shockingly.

The two of them stared for a long time at each other. Xiao Yan turned his stiff neck, "You…what did you call me?" His voice was unclear, as if his tongue had tied knots.

The doll was very steady and shouted one more time, "Father!"

Xiao Yan had the impulse to look in the sky from the corner of his eyes. He was speechless and was on the verge of crying.

To him, even if it was an Immortal Soul Stage Elder in front of him, he would not hesitate to rush up and fight him. Even if it was the most dangerous place in this world in front, he would not even blink an eye and would approach it daringly.

But now, Xiao Yan did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He was still young, how could he have been a Father?

After the initial shock, Xiao Yan understood why. Before this Parasol Tree Wood Essence nurtured this little doll, it had always been him cultivating it. He used his own powers and the 3 Primordial Fires to cultivate the Parasol Tree Wood Essence.

After the Parasol Tree Wood Essence developed its own spiritual awareness, it naturally treated Xiao Yan as its parent.

Xiao Yan revealed a ghastly look on his face. He wanted to correct the doll, but he saw her eyes revealing a sense of happiness and closeness and they were shining very brightly.

"Master?" Xiao Yan laughed bitterly as he looked at Lin Feng. Lin Feng laughed, "Now, I have finally found out that you are the babysitter in my sect. After Lucky, you have another one on your shoulders now."

Was he really a Father? Lin Feng thought rather immorally. After that, he saw the little doll hanging on Xiao Yan's neck like a koala bear. As she looked over with her huge eyes, she was even happier.

"Grandfather!"

In the stone house, there was an immediate silence. Only the echo of the doll's words was still resonating.

Lin Feng was lucky he did not spit blood out. He was stunned as he looked at the doll.

"I can still remember my youth days…but it's gone! Have I become a grandfather?"

Lin Feng laughed bitterly in his heart. He looked at Xiao Yan. One of them became a father and the other became a grandfather.

At the heart of it all, it was Lin Feng's Four Appearances Heaven-Cleaving Script's power concepts that induced the changes in the Parasol Tree Wood Essence.

Xiao Yan hugged the doll with a bitter look on his face and coaxed her, "Call me Godfather, not father."

The doll bit her finger and looked at Xiao Yan confusedly. She did not understand why he had become her Godfather suddenly.

Lin Feng wanted to cry too, but he calmed his nerves and asked, "What's your name?"

"I am called Tong." The little doll answered. Lin Feng nodded his head.

Lin Feng looked at her and said, "Oh, from today onwards, you are called Xiao Tong."

The doll nodded her head and answered, "Okay!"

Xiao Yan was shocked and said hurriedly, "Not Xiao Ting…It's Lin Tong, Lin Tong!"

He turned to look at Lin Feng with a bitter expression. "Master, you must spare me this time. Otherwise, I can't explain things to Zhener. If she thinks that I have something going on with a Parasol Tree spirit and bore this doll as a result, I can't explain myself."

Lin Feng laughed, "No problem. Just say that I picked that name. I will burden this problem for you."

Xiao Yan heard it and looked at Lin Feng. His expression was tranquil. As he wore a purple robe, he looked pious and had the demeanor of a Master.

"If I say this, Zhener must believe me too." Xiao Yan laughed bitterly and looked at Lin Feng pitifully. Lin Feng laughed while shaking his head. He stopped joking with Xiao Yan and looked at the doll who was still in Xiao Yan's arms.

Lin Feng thought, "When she grows up, she will be something."

The both of them brought the doll to the Heavenly Ray Cosmic World. Lucky was still sleeping, but when Lin Tong got close to her, her snoring ceased and she sat up. She rubbed her eyes in a daze.

Lucky looked at Lin Tong and she stopped looking sleepy. She did not bother anyone normally, but as she looked at Lin Tong, she was surprised and started to babble.

Lin Tong looked at her curiously. Xiao Yan put her on the ground and she ran towards Lucky with her short legs. The two chubby dolls held hands and the intersection of red and yellow light flashed.

Under such a circumstance, Lin Feng and Xiao Yan could both feel that their spiritual energies were displaying signs of growth.

Both dolls smiled brightly. Lin Tong started to babble like Lucky. They could hear what each other were saying and seemed to be having fun.

As Xiao Yan saw this scene, he raved in his heart. "Lin Tong was converted from the Parasol Tree Wood Essence. The Divine Parasol Tree possessed a powerful life essence and contained an intense fire spiritual energy. Lucky loves fire-type spiritual energies. Although the Parasol Tree Wood Essence did not contain any Primordial Fire, the quality of its fire spiritual energy is still high."

"Lucky came from the Blessed Spiritual Lands, which was the best soil to grow spiritual plants and trees. It can also nourish Lin Tong. Haha, the both of them are complements to each other."

As Lin Feng looked at the both of them holding hands and playing, he also revealed a smile on his face. "The two of them can be playing partners."

He turned to look at Xiao Yan and laughed, "In the future, besides Lucky, Lin Tong shall be under your care too."

Xiao Yan revealed a look of resignation and nodded his head reluctantly, "I knew that you will give such an instruction."

In the future, besides cultivating and forming elixirs, Xiao Yan had another job, which was to take care of the two kids.

On one day, he had finally gotten both Lin Tong and Lucky off his body, but he was stunned suddenly. He whipped out a Voice-Projecting Crystal and crushed it. From the other side, the voice of Song Fu was heard, "Comrade Xiao?"

After Xiao Yan managed to promote to the Advanced Stage of the Aurous Core Stage and control the Primordial Fires, he stopped his retreat. As Lin Feng's most senior disciple, he took over Zhu Yi's burden of connecting with the external world.

Song Fu sounded very polite. Although he was a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator and Xiao Yan had not formed the Nascent Soul, Song Fu was not in the slightest sense dismissive towards him.

"Comrade Xiao, someone came to me and said that they want to visit Master Lin. Please help me to relay the news."

After hearing Song Fu's serious voice, Xiao Yan raised his voice. He did not cut off the communication and went to find Lin Feng directly. After seeing Lin Feng, he asked, "Who is the other party and what is the purpose of visit?"

Song Fu paused for a moment before answering, "They are from the Demon Phoenix tribe in the Barren Expanses. There are two of them here. One has already formed the Undying Demon Soul."

As he heard till here, Lin Feng and Xiao Yan both lowered their heads to look at Lin Tong.

Anyone with brains knew what their purpose of visit was.

After the Demon Phoenix tribe helped to melt the Millennium Black Ice in the Secret Manual of Kun Peng, they entered the Secret Manual of Kun Peng for the Parasol Tree Wood essence.

But Lin Feng stopped the revival of the Kun Peng and the Kun Peng remains were further divided into two. Black Jade, who went in with Black Feathers, was trapped in the half where Black Feathers' body was. Whereas the Parasol Tree Wood Essence was taken by Lin Feng.

There was an ancient saying that said that plucking a parasol tree attracts the demon phoenix. Demon Phoenixes were naturally haughty. They would not choose anywhere except for a parasol tree as a habitat. The two parties shared a close relationship

They came here for the Parasol Tree Wood essence. Although they did not know what the other party wanted by taking the item, they were determined to get it back, as evidenced by their venture into the Divine Lands.

Xiao Yan looked at Lin Feng and Lin Feng laughed, "Let them in."

As he said, he formed a crack in space. Purple Clouds transcended space and landed in Shazhou County.

Chapter 508: Both Parties Are Confident

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Two light spots flew out from Shazhou County. They were surrounded by golden radiances and released a powerful vibration of demonic aura.

But this demonic aura did not seem to be ferocious or brutal. Rather, it was pure and seemed rather extraordinary. But it seemed haughty at the same time.

The light spot landed on Lin Feng's Purple Clouds bridge. As the Purple Clouds surged, they were brought back to Mount Yujing.

Lin Feng looked at the two light figures in front of him. As the light figure transformed, Lin Feng could see two Demon Phoenixes converting to human form slowly.

As the golden light dissipated, there were two human figures in front of Lin Feng. One was that of a male and the other was a female. The male had the appearance of a 40 year old middle-aged man. He was tall and thin, and was decked in a crimson robe. He did not tie his long hair, which was placed behind his shoulders. He looked very simple, but he his demeanor was very elegant.

Beside him was a young lady in black. She looked like she was only 13 or 14 years old. She looked pretty and refined.

The common point about the two of them was that their visions were very clear. As they looked at Lin Feng, they did not seem overbearing and their attitudes were very courteous. But they did keep their distance.

The middle-aged man said first, "Are you the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders? I am Fei Ye from the Crimson Demon Phoenix tribe."

The lady beside him greeted Lin Feng too, "I am Black Jade from the Black Demon Phoenix tribe. I have met Master Lin before."

Lin Feng's gaze landed on Fei Ye. He felt that the vibration of demonic powers around him was very tremendous. He did not show it off but he did not repress it either. He allowed it to exude on its own and reveal his achievement of the Undying Demon Soul.

He was different from Golden Crow, Qiong Qi and the rest of the demon tribes. When Grand Sage demons came to the Divine Lands, they would be surrounded by human cultivators. But the Demon Phoenix tribe was a little special. They entered the Divine Lands very rarely. Most human cultivators would close one eye when it came to them.

The Demon Phoenix tribe was very independent in the Barren Expanses. They did not interfere in the disputes of others. Because they were very powerful, no one else disturbed them too.

All this while, this tribe had always operated alone. Although they were not entirely isolated, they rarely interacted with the external world.

Because of this, the Demon Phoenix tribe did not even participate in the war between the humans and demons. Demon Phoenixes were peaceful by nature. If no one threatened them, they would not cause much destruction.

Thus, in the years gone by, their relationship with the human cultivation world was slightly more cordial.

Of course, this also had something to do with their might. Including the Three Holy Grounds of the past, no one dared to treat the Demon Phoenix tribe as an enemy.

Lin Feng turned his attention to the other side and looked at Black Jade. He felt her mana vibration, "This is familiar. The phoenix who broke the Millennium Black Ice and followed the Kun Peng into the Secret Manual of Kun Peng is her?"

Lin Feng scanned her and realized that she was in the realm of a Demon Lord. She was rather young too. For her to reach such a realm with her age, she must be very outstanding among the Demon Phoenix tribe.

Long Ye, Hu Yanyan, Black Feathers and Black Jade must be one of the rising talents in the demonic clan.

They had already achieved outstanding results and were only waiting to form the Undying Demon Soul. Among them, Long Ye seemed to be the most outstanding one as of now.

When Lin Feng was sizing them up, Fei Ye and Black Jade were also observing him. But regardless whether it was Black Jade or Fei Ye, they realized they could not see through Lin Feng.

It was not because he was too powerful for them to analyze him. In front of them, Lin Feng seemed like an average person who had not undergone any cultivation.

The question was, was that possible?

Because of this, this made Fei Ye and Black Jade think that Lin Feng was very unpredictable.

Xiao Yan left the Heavenly Ray Cosmic World at this time too and stood behind Lin Feng. He was naturally noticed by Fei Ye and Black Jade. They could tell Xiao Yan's cultivation though.

He was in the Aurous Core Stage. But Fei Ye and Black Jade could feel the frightening aura within his body.

Fei Ye thought nothing much of that. But Black Jade, who was in the Advanced Stage of the Demon Lord realm and was close to achieving the Undying Demon Soul, looked at Xiao Yan and felt a sense of danger.

It was as if he could threaten her life.

Although he was a whole cultivation realm away from her, she was still petrified. Black Jade remained calm, but felt surprised in her heart.

Lin Feng looked at Fei Ye and Black Jade and said, "Why are the both of you here?"

Fei Ye answered steadily, "There was a treasure that belonged to my demonic tribe. It's called the Parasol Tree Wood Essence. Many years ago, it was lent to the Kun Peng Grand Sage, but he died in the Divine Lands. This caused our treasure to be lost in the North Polar Sea of the Divine Lands."

The Kun Peng he was talking about was naturally the ancient Kun Peng which had formed the Undying Demon Soul Third Level.

"Previously, the current Kun Peng Grand Sage sent his son Black Feathers into the Secret Manual of Kun Peng to find it. Black Jade followed along too to retrieve the Parasol Tree Wood Essence." As Fei Ye said, he looked at Black Jade, "But things changed and we did not succeed."

Fei Ye looked at Lin Feng and said, "We came here to request for Master Lin to return the treasure to us."

Lin Feng smiled and remained silent. Xiao Yan was also silent.

At one point, both parties did not speak. The situation seemed to be tense.

Xiao Yan raised his brows and he developed a weird expression. He used his mana to communicate with Lin Feng, "Master, is this Demon Phoenix trying to scam us?"

Lin Feng laughed, "That's not the case. But their Demon Phoenix tribe has always thought in this way."

From the moral standards and reasoning of the Demon Phoenix tribe, it was perfectly fine for them to retrieve what they had lost. The item should return to its owner, regardless of what happened.

Even if the item was not snatched from them but was found somewhere, it was logical to return it to its owner. There was no such thing as a trade. There was no such thing as a reward because the item rightfully belonged to the owner.

Similarly speaking, if an item was found, it would be returned to its owner.

Fei Ye and Black Jade had developed such an idea about things ever since young.

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Xiao Yan pursed his lips, "This Parasol Tree Wood Essence has changed hands many time. The rightful owner should have been reclassified. How can he just claim that it's his?"

"If we take a step back, even if it belonged to them, it doesn't mean that everyone should conform to their standards."

Lin Feng laughed, "So, since immemorial, every time the Demon Phoenix tribe and other tribes clashed, it was usually started from the other party. That's why they retaliated. It was very rare for the Demon Phoenix to draw first blood, due to the conflict with their standards."

Xiao Yan did not change his expression, but he started to judge Fei Ye and Black Jade, "Master, what are they plotting? Acting nice before they attack?"

"It's not the case. I can only say that they are testing me. They want to see if I conform to the same standards as them."

Lin Feng laughed. In this day and age, unless it was an unresolvable conflict or a deep-seated hatred, no one in the Grand Celestial World would dare to attack the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

No one dared to rile the Demon Phoenix tribe, but similarly, no one dared to rile Lin Feng for nothing.

Xiao Yan asked, "Master, so we…"

Lin Feng responded, "They are not the decision-makers. There's not much to discuss. We'll let the person involved to decide on her own."

Xiao Yan was enlightened, "Yes. Lin Tong already has her own awareness. She should decide what she wants."

Lin Feng instructed, "There's no need to tell Lin Tong first or inculcate any thoughts in her mind. Let her decide on her own."

"Master?" Xiao Yan was a little bewildered. As he saw that Lin Feng looked indifferent, Xiao Yan seemed to think of something.

After the both of them stopped communicating with each other, Lin Feng said, "Bring Lin Tong to see the both of them." Xiao Yan nodded his head and disappeared.

After Xiao Yan left, Fei Ye and Black Jade were more relaxed. During the tense moment that they had, the situation seemed to be a little awkward. Besides Lin Feng and Xiao Yan, Fei Ye and Black Jade were also communicating secretly.

"Elder, if he does not want to return the Parasol Tree Wood Essence, what should we do?" Black Jade asked. "They are waiting over the other side."

Fei Ye did not alter his expression. After remaining silent for a while, he said, "There are two schools of thoughts within the tribe. One side believes that we should interact more with the Celestial Sect of Wonders and obtain the Parasol Tree Wood Essence through diplomatic means. The other side votes for forceful methods to retrieve the Parasol Tree Wood Essence and not bow down to the greed of the humans."

Black Jade raised her brows, "The ideas of humans deviate from us too much…"

Fei Ye said, "The price for clashing with the Celestial Sect of Wonders is too great. But we need to prepare for it too."

As the two of them were speaking, they heard Lin Feng asking Xiao Yan to bring the Parasol Tree Wood Essence over, making them more relieved. Just being in front of Lin Feng and on Mount Yujing already brought them pressure.

But as they heard the term "Lin Tong", they were a little stunned, "It seems like this Parasol Tree Wood Essence has its own life?"

This was out of their expectations. But they were still confident that as long as Lin Feng and Xiao Yan did not stop them, they could persuade Lin Tong to return to the Barren Expanses.

"After all, that's her hometown. With her fellow tribesman around, even if she's not a demon yet, she came from a Divine Parasol Tree after all."

Fei Ye and Black Jade looked at each other and they had the same thought.

Very soon, Xiao Yan had brought Lin Tong over. She was sucking her own thumb as she looked at Fei Ye and Black Jade. She could sense their closeness to her.

As they looked noticed Lin Tong's gaze, Fei Ye and Black Jade were more confident. The Demon Phoenix tribe and the Parasol Tree were close companions and had gone through a lot together. Their ties could not be cut.

Fei Ye felt a lot better, "If you don't interfere and let this doll decide on her own, then everything is fine."

Chapter 509: In the End, Begging is Needed

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

To Fei Ye and Black Jade, although Lin Tong did interact Lin Feng and Xiao Yan before, the period wasn't very long. While they might have feelings, it should not be greater than their close relationship.

Lin Tong was not ordinary. She was nurtured from a Parasol Tree Wood Essence, but her innate spirituality was very great. She could clearly feel her closeness to other Divine Parasol Trees and the Demon Phoenix tribe.

Thus, Fei Ye and Black Jade were confident that they could convince Lin Tong to return to the Divine Lands with them.

Especially Lin Tong's confused look suggested that she did not know what was happening. Fei Ye and Black Jade were feeling even more confident now.

"Seems like you did not tell her what happened. Therefore, she should not have been influenced by any ideas or thoughts that can affect her judgment." Black Jade thought, "In this way, this leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is someone who is rather refined. He does not resort to petty tricks."

Fei Ye had the same thought, "This trip is not wasted. If we can prevent a conflict, it will be the best."

As they were thinking, the two of them told Lin Tong their purpose of visit.

Lin Tong was in Xiao Yan's arms and she asked while sucking her thumb, "If I go to the Barren Expanses, can I return here?"

Fei Ye smiled but did not speak. Whereas Black Jade revealed a smile too and said to Lin Tong, "Of course you can."

"When we return to the Parasol Tree Forest, we won't restrict your freedom. If you want to take a walk, you can do so. But for your safety, we will escort you."

Fei Ye nodded his head as he heard from one side. He thought, "After all, she has interacted with Lin Feng for a period of time. It's normal for her to develop some feelings. For her to be so sentimental, it's a positive trait."

As they were thinking, they discovered something weird with Lin Tong's expression. Her smile disappeared and her brows started to raise. She interrupted Black Jade, "So you are saying that I will spending more time than here and that I can only occasionally return to find Father and Grandfather?"

"That is natural. The Parasol Tree Forest is your home." Fei Ye and Black Jade did not realize, but they soon discovered the main point in Lin Tong's words. They were both stunned, "Father and….Grandfather?"

Lin Tong started to wail, "In that case, I don't want to go!"

"I won't leave!" Lin Tong extended her chubby legs and grabbed hold onto Xiao Yan's neck, "I want to live with Father and Grandfather!"

Xiao Yan was troubled and tried to coax her, "I have told you many times it's Godfather, not Father."

He turned his head and saw that Fei Ye and Black Jade looked ghastly.

Fei Ye took in a deep breath and looked at Lin Tong before looking at Lin Feng and Xiao Yan, "This kid was definitely not nurtured naturally, but she was cultivated by Xiao Yan?" He quickly understood the logic and was troubled.

Lin Feng said, "She is very pure. Please forgive her for any discourtesy."

Fei Ye and Black Jade nodded their heads annoyingly. They were really at a loss now.

If it was just a sentient Parasol Tree Wood Essence, then they could treat it like a thing. Regardless whether it was Fei Ye or Black Jade, according to their moral standards, they could just retrieve what they had lost.

But the Parasol Tree Wood Essence had developed its own spiritual awareness. It was now an independent life with its own thinking. It could no longer be regarded as an item.

Of course, if it were others, they won't bother about Lin Tong's opinion. They would just force her, but that was not something a Demon Phoenix would do.

Even if they wanted to do it, Lin Feng was still here. If they dared to cause trouble on Mount Yujing, Lin Feng would teach them a lesson.

If she was willing to go on her accord, then it's one thing. But if she was to be forcefully taken away, it would be another thing.

Fei Ye and Black Jade looked at Lin Tong with a depressed look. They wanted to curse too. If Lin Tong was nurtured through natural means, then her relationship with Lin Feng and Xiao Yan would not be close.

She was still confused as a child. Although she could be easily influenced, she was capable of making her own decisions in front of the Demon Phoenixes.

But it was a pity she was not nurtured from natural means. She only developed her spiritual awareness through Xiao Yan and Lin Feng's cultivation of the Parasol Tree Wood Essence.

In her mind, Lin Feng was the closest elder she had. The Demon Phoenixes and the Divine Parasol Trees were inferior to him in terms of status.

Regardless whether it was her biological kin or adopted kin, Lin Feng took top spot in her heart, above the Divine Parasol Tree and the Demon Phoenix tribe.

This left Fei Ye and Black Jade at a loss of what to do. They did not want to force Lin Tong. But their mission was to bring Lin Tong back to the Parasol Tree Forest.

But now even if they talked their lungs out, they would still be unable to convince Lin Tong to leave with them.

Not even talking about long-term stay, even if it was a short travel, she would be unwilling to follow them. She grabbed Xiao Yan's neck tight and was cautious of the two of them. To her, they were like two child peddlers.

As they saw Lin Tong's expression, Fei Ye and Black Jade were on the verge of crying.

"Bring her over to play." Lin Feng instructed Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan nodded his head and coaxed Lin Tong, while walking further away.

Lin Tong looked at Fei Ye and Black Jade warily before putting her attention back on Xiao Yan. The two Demon Phoenixes did not know what to do.

"Her intentions are clear. She has decided of her own accord. I did not interfere." Lin Feng said, "The two of you can remain on the mountain to try and convince her. But if she doesn't change her mind, then I won't keep the both of you further."

Fei Ye and Black Jade were silent. After a while, Fei Ye said, "In this case, thank you for your generosity. I'm afraid that you will disturb for another day."

In the following day, the two of them tried their best to convince Lin Tong to return to the Divine Lands with them.

They did not even wish for Lin Tong to return to her original clan by now. Their only wish was for her to come to the Parasol Tree Forest just for one trip.

But no matter how they tried to convince Lin Tong, Lin Tong would not budge. This was all their fault, for not clarifying the situation earlier. Their words were too explicit, that made Lin Tong misunderstand that they were trying to separate her and Lin Feng and Xiao Yan.

This caused her to blacklist the both of their names. Regardless how generous their terms were and how many promises they made, she only believed that they were trying to scam her.

Lin Tong was extremely resilient and stubborn now. Regardless whatever Fei Ye and Black Jade said, she would not be moved. She would not even move an inch.

Even Lin Feng and Xiao Yan felt pitiful for the both of them as they witnessed how they tried to convince Lin Tong.

"Master, why must they insist on bringing her back?" Xiao Yan thought it was weird. He understood the character of the Demon Phoenixes by now. He knew they looked down upon cheating behaviors, thus they were not those who would resort to that.

Fei Ye and Black Jade just wanted to invite Lin Tong to the Parasol Tree Forest and not to make her stay there long-term. Thus, based on their characters, they should mean what they say. They were not trying to scam her.

But why were they trying so hard to bring Lin Tong back?

Or rather, why did they want the Parasol Tree Wood Essence?

Lin Feng pondered while saying, "As for the detailed reason, I am unclear. But I can confirm that whatever they plan on doing must require Lin Tong's help. In this matter, Lin Tong is irreplaceable."

"Lin Tong was birthed from a female Divine Parasol Tree." He said while looking at Lin Tong, "Under what circumstance is Lin Tong irreplaceable? There's only one possibility. It's that the Parasol Tree that she was birthed from had some issues with the male companion Parasol Tree. Thus, they need her to settle the problem."

Xiao Yan was enlightened, "It's like the pair of Flying Snow Plumes in the Wasteland Valley. There's only one partner in their lives. They live and die together. For the Parasol Trees, it's the exact same situation. Every tree has its own companion in its entire life."

Lin Feng nodded his head and did not speak further. He thought, "Without her, the male tree would wilt. Since that female tree had already lost her wood essence, she would naturally wilt. With the wood essence, the male tree may still survive."

"But the Parasol Tree Wood Essence had been lost in the Secret Manual of Kun Peng for so long, how did the male Parasol Tree survive so long?"

Lin Feng and Xiao Yan were gossiping, while Fei Ye and Black Jade were at a loss. Lin Tong would still not follow them no matter how much they tried.

As they were at a loss, the both of them came to find Lin Feng.

"Master Lin, please help us to convince her to return to the Barren Expanses." Fei Ye said. "After this, we will escort her back. We will not disturb you from then on."

Initially, they though that they could easily bring Lin Tong back. Who knew that they had to beg Lin Feng for help in the end.

To the Demon Phoenix tribe, if they begged for help, then they owe the other party a favor. Both Fei Ye and Black Jade recognized this.

But since they could not convince Lin Tong, they could only ask Lin Feng for help.

Lin Feng continued to look normal and did become haughty. He only asked, "I need to know why the both of you are bringing Lin Tong back to the Barren Expanses."

"Please rest assured. She will not be hurt." Fei Ye hesitated for a while, before adding on, "It's from the Parasol Tree King. He needs her help."

Chapter 510: Where's Their Confidence?

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

After hearing the name of the Parasol Tree King, Xiao Yan looked at Lin Feng subconsciously. After spending a lot of time and effort, his understanding of the Demon Phoenix tribe and the Divine Parasol Tree had grown deeper.

Of course, these 2 demonic tribes had always been mysterious. Their interaction with the outside world had also been sparse. There was not much valuable news.

But even so, Xiao Yan had heard of the Parasol Tree King before. That was because he was the leader of the Divine Parasol Tree tribe and had long formed the syncretic star soul. As a tree that converted into a demon, he had lived for very long.

Normally speaking, in the Barren Expanses, a demon would be considered a King or an Emperor only when there was a consensus among the various demons. One example would be the Hades Emperor in the past.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage called himself the Emperor Roc. It was a motivation for himself, which demonstrated his ambition and confidence. Although he had many under his command, this was not recognized by the other powerful demonic tribes. The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage's junior, the Sirius Grand Sage, had once made sarcastic remarks about the Golden Roc Grand Sage in front of him.

The situation of the Parasol Tree King was different from the Golden Roc Grand Sage. This term was normally used within the internal context of the Divine Parasol Tree tribe and the Demon Phoenix tribe. The Divine Parasol Tree tribe was even more isolated than the Demon Phoenix tribe. The Parasol Tree King had not even left the Parasol Tree Forest for hundred thousands of years.

His powers were great enough and his seniority level was high enough. But he was normally very low-profile He was not ambitious and violent, thus many of the demonic tribes recognized his status secretly and did not make a fuss over it. There were some demonic tribes who were closer to the Divine Parasol Tree tribe and the Demon Phoenix tribe that used this term to call him.

After hearing Fei Ye and Black Jade's simple introduction, Lin Feng and Xiao Yan learnt that the Parasol Tree King naturally had his own companion, but she had perished in a disaster many years ago. The Parasol Tree King could only preserve her wood essence.

Over hundred thousands of years ago, the ancient Kun Peng, also known as the Sea Dome Kun Peng, borrowed the Parasol Tree Wood Essence. But he perished along with the Parasol Tree Wood Essence in the Divine Lands, unexpectedly. The Parasol Tree Wood Essence did not return in the hands of the Parasol Tree King.

The Parasol Tree King had already formed the Undying Demon Soul Third Level, the syncretic star soul realm. As compared to the human form Immortal Soul Stage Third Level where one has essentially formed his own world, the Parasol Tree King had also free himself of the characteristic of the Parasol Trees where companions lived and died together.

Thus, even though he had no companion, he was able to live for many years.

Lin Feng heard this and looked at Fei Ye. He did not speak, but he was asking without speaking.

Since the Parasol Tree King did not need the Parasol Tree Wood Essence to survive, why was he so desperate to find Lin Tong?

Fei Ye and Black Jade looked at each other and revealed a sense of hesitation. Black Jade wanted to open her mouth but Fei Ye shook his head towards her, "Forget it, let me say it."

He turned to look at Lin Feng and Xiao Yan, before looking at Lin Tong. He said, "This is a humiliation of the Demon Phoenix tribe and the Parasol Tree Wood tribe. Very little people and demons know about this, thus the both of you naturally wouldn't know too."

"The Parasol Tree King met with a disaster thousands of years ago, harming his vital energy. Although he did not perish, his injury remained till now. It is difficult to fully heal it. But if he wants to contain the injury, he needs the Parasol Tree Wood Essence that came from the same source as him to perform an ancient spell."

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and asked, "After the spell is performed, what happens to Lin Tong?"

The two of them looked serious and Fei Ye answered, "Nothing injurious will happen to her. Furthermore, she will be blessed by the Parasol Tree King's powers. Her spirituality and powers will grow a level."

The Demon Phoenix tribe always meant what they say and never tricked others. No one could debate that in the Grand Celestial Wall. In terms of credibility, they were the highest.

After Lin Feng heard it, he nodded his head and Xiao Yan asked him secretly, "Master, is Lin Tong the reincarnation of that Parasol Tree? If that is the case, isn't she and the Parasol Tree King…"

Xiao Yan wanted to say that the Parasol Tree King was a cradle snatcher, but he stopped himself.

"Lin Tong is not considered a reincarnation of the Parasol Tree demon. She is not even an avatar." Lin Feng said, "She inherited the way and power concept of the Parasol Tree demon's cultivation."

"With that as the foundation, we enabled her to develop her spiritual awareness, before we cultivated the Parasol Tree Wood Essence to be a part of her body. If we want to push it, we can consider her a member of the Divine Parasol Tree tribe."

After he finished speaking with Xiao Yan, Lin Feng looked at Fei Ye and Black Jade. He asked, "Although I have not met the Parasol Tree King before, I can understand his pain. He met with a disaster and because Lin Tong landed in the stomach of the Sea Dome Kun Peng, he suffered for years."

"Now that Lin Tong has resurfaced, it means that it's time for a change in the fortunes of the Parasol Tree King."

After hearing what Lin Feng said, Fei Ye and Black Jade revealed their happiness. Fei Ye thanked Lin Feng with his hands, "The Demon Phoenix and Divine Parasol Tree tribes are grateful for Master Lin's generosity."

Lin Feng shrugged him off, "But I must say that you have to keep Lin Tong save. After saving the Parasol Tree King, she must return to the mountain safely."

Although Lin Feng was calm, both Fei Ye and Black Jade understood his intentions. They nodded their heads, "That's only right. Please rest assured we'll do so."

Xiao Yan started to interact with Lin Tong. She opened her eyes wide and blinked, asking pitifully, "Does Grandfather and Father not want me anymore?"

"Silly girl." Xiao Yan rubbed her head. "Why will I not want you? You are going to the Parasol Tree Forest to save someone. After everything is over, you can come back to reunite with us."

As she sucked her thumb, she asked, "Save someone?"

After pondering for a moment, she requested, "Can Father and Grandfather come along?"

Fei Ye and Black Jade looked at each other and they revealed a troubled look. The Parasol Tree King had retreated for years. There has been no one who could step near him.

"Of course." Fei Ye thought for a moment before saying decisively. "Since you are so generous and have extended a helping hand towards both tribes, you are our friend. If you are willing to come along, we are more than happy to receive you."

Although Fei Ye had formed the Undying Demon Soul, his position inside the Demon Phoenix tribe still rendered him incapable of making such important decisions.

But with the characteristics of the Demon Phoenix and the Divine Parasol Tree tribes, this was not a decision that would cause much debate among their tribe members.

Repaying a gratitude was also one of the virtues of the Demon Phoenix tribe.

Lin Feng said, "I have been wanting to visit the Parasol Tree Forest. But I have been bogged down by matters recently and can't spare much time."

He communicated with Xiao Yan, "Xiao Yan, relieve yourself of all matters first. Go to the Parasol Tree Forest with them. As to what you have to do, I don't have to tell you, do I?"

Xiao Yan thought for a while and he understood. He did not reveal it in his face, but laughed towards Lin Feng secretly, "Don't worry Master, I know what to do. I promise that the mission will be completed."

Lin Feng smiled and opened his mouth, "My disciple, Xiao Yan, will go on this trip on my behalf."

Xiao Yan nodded his head, "Apologies for the disturbance."

Fei Ye and Black Jade replied, "You are welcome. We should be thanking you instead."

After confirming that Xiao Yan was going along, Lin Tong did not input more decisions. Although she saw Fei Ye and Black Jade getting closer, she hid behind Xiao Yan instinctively. But she was not as wary towards them as before.

Regardless whether it was Fei Ye or Black Jade, they were anxious now. They could not wait to bring Lin Tong back to the Barren Expanses.

Since they had already agreed to help, Lin Feng and Xiao Yan did not make it difficult for them. After settling his own matters, Xiao Yan brought Lin Tong along immediately and left with Fei Ye and Black Jade.

Lin Feng watched as Xiao Yan and the two of them leave. He sat quietly at the top of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, pondering. After that, he opened his mouth and asked, "Nanhua, is there anything wrong?"

A youth in white broke through void space and came behind Lin Feng. It was Kang Nanhua. He replied calmly, "Master, I have received news that the Shi Clan and Yu Clan of the Great Qin Empire have been active recently. They have suddenly become closer to each other."

"Shi Clan and the Yu Clan…" Lin Feng thought in his heart, "The Four Great Aristocratic Families of the Great Qin Empire are the spearheads of the aristocratic families in the Great Qin Empire. Among them, the Huo Family was not very involved, whereas the other 3 families were much closer. They have even arranged related marriages."

Especially the Shi Clan and the Yu Clan, who were very close. After Shi Tianyi displayed his talent, these two families had been getting closer and closer.

This was something that everyone knew, thus it was natural that Kang Nanhua learnt about it. But for him to report this to Lin Feng, it was obvious that their relationship had reached an abnormal point.

Ever since Lin Feng accepted Shi Tianhao as his disciple, he knew that he would clash with the Shi and Yu Clan one day. That was because Shi Tianhao and Shi Tianyi's conflict would never be resolved.

Unless the Shi Clan changed their tune and give up on Shi Tianyi, otherwise they were fated to be a part of Shi Tianhao's road of destiny.

If it was only Shi Tianhao alone, then it was still fine. But now the Celestial Sect of Wonders had become a huge figure that the Shi Clan could not deal with single-handedly. If they could change their course, the Shi Clan would definitely change it without hesitation.

But it was a pity that they owed Shi Tianhao too much. Only if they lost everything could they compensate him.

The conclusion was always the same. The Shi Clan had to walk the dark path, whereas it was even more obvious for the Yu Clan.

Not to even mention the issue between Shi Tianhao and Shi Tianyi, there were many Nascent Soul Stage Grandmasters from the Yu Clan that perished in the hands of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Such a hatred could not be forgotten.

"Did they become closer due to the pressure brought about by the Great Qin Empire, or are they targeting me?" Lin Feng pondered, "If they are targeting me, then where's their confidence?"

Chapter 511: Audacious

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

In this day and age, the Yu Clan or the Shi Clan were not Lin Feng's match if they operated alone.

In a cruder way, even if they banded together, they did not even trouble Lin Feng.

As to why they were spared, it was because Lin Feng did not want to be used by the Great Qin Empire and he also wanted to give face to the Great Void Sect.

Of course, the most important reason was that even if Lin Feng did not bother with them, Shi Tianhao would still clash with them in the future.

That was why the sudden movements of the Yu Clan and Shi Clan left Lin Feng curious, "What are these two clans thinking of?"

As he was thinking, Lin Feng developed an idea in his mind. He used the mana that he left on Xiao Yan's body to discover that Xiao Yan was actually interfered by someone on his travels.

Between the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses, the powers of the boundaries were very strong. Even an Immortal Soul Stage Elder could do nothing to break through void space.

For example, while the Golden Crow Grand Sage's receiving method as well as the ancient Kun Peng's blood sacrificial ritual could allow for the travel between two worlds, the price to pay was also very huge. It was only used when necessary.

Thus, when Xiao Yan and the rest left Mount Yujing, they went all the way south. Under Fei Ye's guidance, they travelled through void space at a rapid speed towards the south of the Divine Lands. There was the boundary crack that connected to the Barren Expanses over there.

That was the designated tunnel that allowed for humans and demons to move between worlds. That was also the place where humans and demons made the first forms of contact. Although there had not been any outburst of wars lately, there were minor conflicts that happened. There were instances of human cultivators breaching the Barren Expanses to hunt and kill demons. At the same time, there were powerful demons that came to the Divine Lands to wreak havoc.

As Fei Ye and Black Jade came to the Divine Lands, they passed through that tunnel too.

There was a queue of people that were rushing towards the boundary crack. Just as they left the territory of Mount Kunlun, there was a tremendous vibration of mana in space suddenly.

Fei Ye, Xiao Yan and Black Jade raised their brows. They saw a black light flashing in front and engulfed space as it surged towards them.

In that black light, there was a frightening roar resonating from it. It was as if there were thousands of troops shouting and groaning.

Besides the smell of blood that reminded of a war, there was an immense wave of repression that surged. It was as if it came from the Heavens.

As these two combined, they resembled an indestructible Emperor that descended from the skies. That Emperor seemed to lead his loyal and passionate troops into battle, and they appeared before Xiao Yan and the rest.

This black light engulfed the entire place and threatened to trap Xiao Yan and the rest within. Fei Ye's expression was calm. As he summoned his powers, he brought Xiao Yan, Black Jade and Lin Tong away from the black light.

Who knew that the black light surfaced a dim golden human figure. It was entirely formed from the light figure's mana. It wore a Panlong Golden Armor and wore a golden helmet. It had a royal disposition, as if an Emperor had arrived.

As the golden figure appeared, the black light expanded and trapped Fei Ye, Xiao Yan and the rest within.

"Magic treasure in the metaplasia realm?" Fei Ye raised his brows and stared at the original soul of the magic treasure that had formed its figure. "It's a pity that the person who formed this is not in the Immortal Soul Stage. Why did you let him cultivate you?"

That dim golden human figure spoke and its voice resonated. It sounded very mighty, "You don't have to know this, Demon Phoenix."

Fei Ye continued to look calm and nodded his head, "I don't have to know indeed. It's just a waste of my time."

As he said, his demonic powers surged. As he flapped his wings, the squall he initiated seemed to cut the skies and ran riot within the black light.

The original soul did not panic. It summoned the black light, causing it to flip and turn, as if it was undergoing several transformations. Amidst the huge roars, Fei Ye's momentum was dissipated. The astonishing killing intent caused him to be further worried.

It was as if there were many passionate fighters had gathered together, developing a disturbing and powerful mind concept, which was tough but gentle.

It was ferocious and passionate. The troops were only loyal to its Emperor. Wherever and whoever the Emperor pointed to, they would attack that particular place or person without hesitation. They would not stop till death.

"Interesting." Lin Feng was curious as he watched all of this from Xiao Yan's body. Fei Ye had formed the Undying Demon Soul already. Although he was not competitive by nature, his demonic powers were outstanding among those of the same realm. He even possessed the Pure Yang Primordial Fire that was native to the Demon Phoenix tribe, further strengthening his powers.

More importantly, besides their abilities, Fei Ye and Black Jade had the Demon Phoenix tribe backing them.

The other party knew Fei Ye and Black Jade's identities, but he still dared to stop them. This confidence, or rather foolishness, was something to be applauded.

But this person's cultivation seemed to be unexpectedly good. Lin Feng could tell that the owner of this magic treasure had not formed the Immortal Soul.

Before he formed the Immortal Soul, he already had a magic treasure in the metaplasia realm. This was a rare situation.

Previously, Pang Jie was in the Advanced Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, but his powers were strong enough, status was high enough and his background was deep enough. Even so, he only possessed the Six Appearances Sword that was in the gestation realm.

Although the Six Appearance Sword had reached the peak of the gestation realm and its powers were extraordinary, the original soul was still unable to form its own entity.

Right now, the person who had stopped Fei Ye, Xiao Yan and the rest had a magic treasure in the metaplasia realm although he had not formed the Immortal Soul. This must only signify that his background was not simple. It was not possible for him to cultivate it. Either it was given to him from someone, or that he had inherited it.

Fei Ye further drummed up his powers and attacked even more ferociously. Although his opponent had the magic treasure, he could not fully summon the powers without the virtual entity. As he faced Fei Ye, his momentum was slightly dropping.

But this magic treasure was special. With its own powers, it could match up to Fei Ye.

In the black light, the real appearance of the magic treasure was revealed. It was huge black flag and there was a huge "Emperor" word sewn on it. It was swaying and looked very impressive.

Fei Ye and Black Jade rarely left the Parasol Tree Forest and their understandings of the outside world were also very limited. Their grasp of news within the Barren Expanses were still rather good, but they knew little about the Divine Lands.

On the other hand, ever since Xiao Yan resumed the role within the Celestial Sect of Wonders as the one who communicated with the outside world, he developed a deep understanding of the Divine Lands.

As he looked at the flag, he raised his brows, "Immortal Royal Flag?"

For someone who had not formed the Immortal Soul but had such a magic treasure, Xiao Yan deduced his identity immediately.

It was the most powerful youth in the Great Zhou Empire, the Marquis of Jinghuan.

He was the leading, rising talent of the Great Zhou Empire. He contributed a lot to the expansion of the Great Zhou Empire, thus he was given the title as a Marquis at his age. This attracted a lot of attention.

He had reached the Advanced Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage at his age and was only a step away from the Immortal Soul Stage. With his talent, he became very reputable in the Grand Celestial World. In terms of cultivation, even Liang Yuan was beneath him.

It was widely recognized that everyone was ordinary in front of him.

After he rose through the ranks, the Great Qin Empire was repressed by the Great Zhou Empire in the junior ranks because of him. It was only when Shi Tianyi appeared was there someone to resist the Marquis of Jinghuan.

What was so depressing for others was that the Marquis of Jinghuan had great fortune, luck and fate apart from his talents.

Before he achieved the Immortal Soul, he had already obtained the Immortal Royal Flag. Besides this, he had an array of other magic treasures. Beneath him, he had many powerful cultivators following him.

It's not that he had never experienced any difficulties. But it's that after every difficulty he faced, he was able to rise again rapidly. He would even become more powerful. Not only did his cultivation increase, he obtained many more magic treasures too.

But besides his cultivation talents, there was something very eye-catching about him. He liked all types of beauties in the world.

Whether they were human or demons, he did not let them off.

To find the place with the most beauties, it was not Liang Pan's royal palace or Shi Yu's royal place, but it was the private residence of the Marquis of Jinghuan.

Xiao Yan thought of everything he knew and told them to Fei Ye and Black Jade. Both of them were enraged at this point.

As expected, the spirit of the Immortal Royal Flag spoke, "The Marquis of Jinghuan have always heard that the females of the Demon Phoenix tribe are outstanding. He had always wanted to woo them, but he never had the time to visit the Parasol Tree Forest in the Barren Expanses."

"He heard that there was a female Demon Phoenix that came to the Divine Lands, thus he intends to chase her."

Regardless whether it was Lin Feng or Xiao Yan, they pursed their lips as they heard that.

He said it very nicely. This was definitely not chasing, but a forceful request of love.

Lin Feng was amused, "What a lad. He dared to stop a Demon Phoenix. Is this audacity, or absolute self-confidence?"

The powers of the Demon Phoenix tribe were widely recognized. But this Marquis of Jinghuan dared to stop them and wanted Black Jade to join his harem.

He must really not care about anything or consider the consequences. His madness had breached the limits and it was bordering on insanity.

He did not seem to consider that the Demon Phoenix tribe had many powerful demons. There were not only one of them who had formed the Undying Demon Soul Third Level. In addition, they had the Divine Parasol Trees as their close comrades.

To enrage the Demon Phoenix tribe and the Divine Parasol Tree tribe was something that the entire Great Zhou Empire had to contend with. If both parties fought, there was a possibility of a second war between the two worlds.

But this Marquis of Jinghuan still did it anyway. And he did it so openly and lawlessly.

Even Fei Ye and Black Jade who were normally very refined were now enraged. Fei Ye said coldly, "You ignorant fool, your insanity will destroy you."

"I don't think so. In this world, there is only space for the capable people. This goes the same for beauties.

At this point, the Immortal Royal Flag surfaced an appearance of a young man. He wore a purplish-golden robe and wore a crown. There was a yellow belt around his waist, something of royal descent. It was obvious that it was given by the Emperor, otherwise it would be a heinous crime for a Marquis to wear it.

His body was very proportionate and he had short hair. He looked charming and had a high forehead. On both sides of his temple, they were surrounded by dim golden blood flow, as it if they were the real Sun.

Chapter 512: Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, Two Magic Treasures

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

As Lin Feng saw the temples of the Marquis of Jinghuan, he could confirm that his cultivation was at the peak of his current realm.

He was like Lin Feng before he formed the Immortal Soul. The Avatar of Ares had reached the limits of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

For such a state, his powers would be extremely strong. Especially since he was very determined and that his body reeked of killing intent. It was obvious that he had gone through countless battles and his powers were so great that there were little people who could match up to him in the Nascent Soul Stage.

Among all the physical martial arts cultivators that Lin Feng saw before, although he did not know how Zhu Hongwu looked like, apart from Zhu Hongwu, there was no one who could compete with the Marquis of Jinghuan in terms of physical strength.

Maybe the Priest of the Royal House of the Northern Winds could, Lin Feng was not entirely sure.

Lin Feng could basically confirm that if this person formed the Immortal Soul, his Immortal Soul Avatar and his flesh and soul would combine, and he would become another Zhu Hongwu. When he was in the Immortal Soul First Level, he could defeat a physical martial arts cultivator in the Immortal Soul Second Level.

Even now, as he fought Fei Ye, he was very relaxed.

Such a form of relaxation demonstrated his confidence in his abilities. His body was filled with energy.

He looked like a young man that was slightly younger than Xiao Yan. He was about the same age as Black Jade in her human form. He looked charming and a sense of dominance was exuded from between his brows. His eyes were like eagles, filled with violence and aggression.

Domineering, Greedy, Resilient, Confident.

His demeanor was similar to that of Shi Chongyun. He was less cunning than Shi Chongyun, but more aggressive than him.

He did not kill in the dark, but did it openly. It developed from the merciless exploits of the Marquis of Jinghuan as he led his troops into battle.

"In this world, only the capable survives." Marquis of Jinghuan revealed his face and first saw Fei Ye. After that, his attention turned to Black Jade. He nodded his head and said, "Not bad, very good, follow me."

His voice did not contain any killing intent, but sounded very crisp and clear. It was even a little soothing.

But the tone within his voice seemed like he was giving an order. His words were like the orders that he gave. They were like military orders. Whoever listened to him must follow him. In a person's subconscious mind, their first reaction was to listen to him.

As Lin Feng and Xiao Yan heard him speak, they laughed without making any noise, "This guy is really mad."

Fei Ye and Black Jade could not laugh. The both of them looked at the Marquis of Jinghuan quietly. Black Jade said, "For those that God wants to destroy, he makes them mad first. Marquis of Jinghuan, you are close to your destruction."

The Marquis of Jinghuan answered, "They can be destroyed because they are not strong enough yet."

Fei Ye looked at him, "Do you think you are so strong that entitles you to do something as ridiculous as this?"

The Marquis of Jinghuan laughed and said, "You are Fei Ye from the Crimson Demon Phoenix tribe. 5000 years old, formed the Undying Demon Soul First Level and possesses the Pure Yang Primordial Fire. Normally in charge of the external interactions within the Demon Phoenix tribe. Among the Grand Sages in the Demon Phoenix tribe, you are the one who reveals your face the most."

"In terms of experience, you are also the richest among your generation. But the last time you fought was 800 years ago."

His enunciation was clear and his voice was sonorous. He did not rush and his reasoning was clear.

"I have led troops of years and fully understand the importance of intelligence. Although the Demon Phoenix tribe has been very isolated and sourcing for intelligence about you was not easy, it is a coincidence that you are the Grand Sage that moves around the most. Thus, intelligence about you has been gathered more comprehensively."

Marquis of Jinghuan stood below the Immortal Royal Flag and he was as relaxed as before. It was as if he was having a leisure chat with Fei Ye.

He lifted his hands to caress the pole of the flag, "This magic treasure of mine is called the Immortal Royal Flag. There's two important points about it. Firstly, there's a word 'Royal' in it. Secondly, there's also an 'Immortal' word. Although it's killing prowess is extremely great, it is not the most outstanding point it has."

Following the words of the Marquis of Jinghuan, the Immortal Royal Flag started to transform. As the flag swayed, it caused the entire sky to turn dark and engulfed Fei Ye, Xiao Yan and Black Jade. The black light it emitted converted into an independent space, cutting off Xiao Yan's and the rest connection with the outside world.

Xiao Yan remained unmoved and felt the power concept of the black light. He realized it felt as if there were thousands of troops protecting an Emperor.

No matter how strong the opponents were, they had to protect their Master.

And the Emperor that was being protected was equally mighty. He had a royal stature that did not waver. It was indestructible and there was a deep desire to be the Emperor of the world.

This Immortal Royal Flag was like the Hidden Dragon Gorge of Shi Zongyue. It was a magic treasure that opened a small world. And this small world was even more stable than the Hidden Dragon Gorge. It was stronger and more difficult to be penetrated.

As what the Marquis of Jinghuan said, although this treasure was merciless in killing, it's strongest point was the internal world that it created. As the owner placed himself inside, he could ensure his own safety. If he wanted to trap his enemies, it was the best spell to do so. There was no way the enemies could escape.

Fei Ye did not even lift his eyes and nodded his head, "It's indeed extraordinary. But it's a pity your cultivation is low. You are unable to summon the full powers of it. You can't trap me."

"If this is your only support, then I can only think you are crazy."

The Marquis of Jinghuan did not panic, "This is not used to trap you. This is to prevent Black Jade from escaping when I fight you."

As she noticed his flippant choice of word, Black Jade turned colder.

The Marquis of Jinghuan saw this situation and smiled, "You don't have to be agitated. You will understand in the future. For someone as outstanding as you, you should only pair with another outstanding guy. This is only right."

He turned his head to look at Fei Ye, "As for you, I have something else for you." He flipped his palms and a streak of dark light flashed. A huge giant appeared in front of him. His joints were huge, as if he was made from metal.

The giant was expressionless and he seemed to be a walking corpse. His skin was dark and his muscles were bulging. Just by looking at it could one feel the frightening explosive strength he had.

His entire body was flashing with a bright red light. The intense, flaming aura engulfed the place. He did not seem lousier than an Immortal Soul First Level physical martial arts cultivator.

Fei Ye revealed a surprised expression. "He is from a cultivation sect in the Antiquity Age. Is he the God-Slayer Puppet, the ultimate work of the Puppet Sect?"

As to what happened in the past, the Demon Phoenix tribe was never very informed about them. But they knew many things from the Antiquity Age. Fei Ye could tell that the giant was a puppet that was cultivated by human cultivators.

Furthermore, it was a puppet that had the powers in the Immortal Soul Stage. The puppet originated from the Puppet Sect in the Antiquity Age.

The Puppet Sect was a sect that practiced the demonic arts. They were once dominant, arrogant and extremely ferocious. Their cultivator's abilities were not that great, but the puppets they cultivated were powerful enough to use as weapons.

In the Puppet Sect, there were not only Nascent Soul Stage and Aurous Core Stage puppets. There were also puppets with powers in the Immortal Soul Stage.

The reputation of this sect was very notorious in the Antiquity Age. That was because the puppets that they cultivated came from the flesh of other cultivators.

The God-Slayer Puppet that the Marquis of Jinghuan showed was a very powerful puppet in the past. This puppet was formed from another physical martial arts cultivator in the Immortal Soul Stage.

Such an action was instinctively rejected by the masses, thus the Puppet Sect quickly vanished in the history books. But they did leave an impression in the human cultivation world. Demons in the Barren Expanses did hear about them too.

The Marquis of Jinghuan nodded his head, "I discovered this by accident. It is still very useful. I can use it to greet you."

Before he finished speaking, the God-Slayer Puppet had already rushed out. It was extremely brutal and attacked Fei Ye.

This puppet was given the title of God Slayer because his role was to kill Immortal Soul Stage cultivators. It might sound mad but his powers were extremely strong. Not only did he preserve the powers of the Immortal Soul Stage cultivator he was formed from, he even became more fearless and indestructible.

"Roar!"

The God-Slayer Puppet Sect roared furiously and the explosive strength of his voice almost tore apart Fei Ye's self-defense mechanism.

Fei Ye was silent before he let out a crisp phoenix whistle. The tremendous demonic powers spread and converted into boundless squalls, which collided with the God-Slayer Puppet.

In the black light world, storms raged. The God-Slayer Puppet was very powerful and even if he was in a storm setting, he was untouched. He even used his own abilities to tear apart the squalls, forcing Fei Ye back.

But as a member of the Demon Phoenix tribe, Fei Ye was naturally very talented. Among the demons in the same realm, he was outstanding. The whirlwinds caused by his powers also caused the God-Slayer Puppet to be stuck in a quagmire.

The Marquis of Jinghuan's expression did not change. A strong man wearing an armor appeared behind from void space. It was a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. But this man did not come to attack Fei Ye. He lifted up two long daggers and handed it to the Marquis of Jinghuan.

He was in the Advanced Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, but was only fit to carry the Marquis of Jinghuan's dagger.

The Marquis of Jinghuan drew his dagger and the blade of the dagger flashed with a golden light. It emanated a primitive feel, but exuded a sense of royalty too.

The tremendous power caused Xiao Yan's eyelids to twitch, "What? Is this another magic treasure?"

This long dagger was another magic treasure. Although it was not as powerful as the Immortal Royal Flag, it was still very valuable. As it nurtured the original soul, its powers were frightening.

For a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator in the Advanced Stage, he had two magic treasures with him!

Even Black Jade felt inadequate, "Are these two original souls crazy? What are they thinking, why did they submit to a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator?"

Even Lin Feng felt curious. There were two magic treasures, one in the metaplasia realm and the other in the gestation realm. They were nothing special, but for them to land in the hands of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, it was something special.

Many Immortal Soul Stage cultivators only had one magic treasure. There were even those without one at all.

This Marquis of Jinghuan was only in the Nascent Soul Stage, but he had two. After Lin Feng observed carefully, he realized that these two magic treasures belonged to him. Although he did not cultivate them at the start, he was the one who finished their cultivations. He did not borrow them from someone else temporarily.

"Wow, he is powerful." Lin Feng laughed. "Is he a stronger Hong Ye? No, he is different from Hong Ye…"

Chapter 513: The Arch-Enemy

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Through Xiao Yan's body, Lin Feng observed for a while. He realized the way the Marquis of Jinghuan was looking at Black Jade was as if he was looking at an item, an item that he fancied.

If it was Hong Ye, that look in his eyes would be very affectionate. When more time was spent with him, Black Jade would most definitely be captivated by him. Furthermore, she might get along well with the other women that he had.

But now the Marquis of Jinghuan had a more intense interest in ladies. But they were displayed rather flippantly. All of the beauties in the world were like items for him to collect.

He was not like Hong Ye. He was purely greedy and wanted everything good in this world to himself.

Lin Feng saw this and shook his head, "My friend, this is not appropriate. Your face attracts hate."

"Just like Shi Tianyi, a predestined enemy for the destined individuals. He is always someone who refuses to die. Every time he rose again, he becomes even stronger. But he's just a recyclable item, whose purpose is to be used again and again, for the experience and preparations of others."

Lin Feng could not help but laugh, "Don't tell me his purpose here is to be defeated? Hehe, I wonder who he was prepared for."

As Lin Feng looked at the Marquis of Jinghuan, he was a little regrettable that he had not met him earlier.

Now that he had reached this stage, there was nothing special about the Marquis of Jinghuan anymore. Lin Feng's own disciples were more suitable for him.

Lin Feng smiled, "The few of you are lucky. Let's see who is the lucky one who can be his opposite. This is a gold mine. It can be unearthed many times."

The so-called arch-enemy was someone who "sent warmth" to a true destined individual.

For a magic treasure or item, find the arch-enemy; for a special abhijna, find the arch-enemy; for boosting reputation, find the arch-enemy…

Even to find wallpapers of beauties, find the arch-enemy.

For the true destined individuals, the arch-enemy might give them a moment or two of humiliation. But in the future, they will repay them a hundred or a thousand times more. The destined individual could find anything he needs from his arch-enemy.

To use the arch-enemy as a stepping stone was much easier than working one's way up based on his effort.

Therefore, everyone should cherish and love their arch-enemy. They allowed one to speed up their progress.

The Marquis of Jinghuan naturally did not know, but he had become Lin Feng's disciples'"cash cow" in Lin Feng's heart.

Right now, the Marquis of Jinghuan was holding a dagger in his own. His disposition was different. Although he had not formed the Immortal Soul and the powers of the dagger were not fully unleashed, it was still very frightening.

Wherever the dagger pointed to, the enemy would retreat. Its royal stature was revealed, and brought about a sense of judgment that seemed to impact the world.

All its enemies could only submit obediently.

Above the Marquis of Jinghuan's head, a clear light surged. A streak of vigorous aura shot upwards into the Heavens like smoke, filled with the determination of a physical martial arts cultivator.

In the smoke, the ferocious aura of countless troops seemed to surface, as if their resilience had supplemented the smoke, allowing it to rise vigorously.

In the next moment, the smoke was retracted into the body of the Marquis of Jinghuan. In the eyes of the Marquis of Jinghuan, there was a subtle flashing of golden and blood light. The dagger in his hand was slashed and void space was crushed suddenly. A streak of golden light went flying towards Fei Ye.

If it was a bright radiance, Fei Ye wouldn't even bother. But this thin streak of light caused him to raise his brows and he did not allow it to touch his body.

The Marquis of Jinghuan summoned the Martial Way in his body to the maximum and guided his Ancient Royal Dagger. Although he could not fully unleash the power of the magic treasure, he had enough power to harm an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator.

In an instant, the Marquis of Jinghuan and the God-Slayer Puppet combined to attack Fei Ye. They were equally strong.

Strictly speaking, besides the Immortal Royal Flag and Ancient Royal Dagger, this God-Slayer Puppet was also a powerful weapon that was not inferior to the magic treasures.

In the Marquis of Jinghuan's family, there were many Immortal Soul Stage Elders that did not even possess the magic treasures he had. These magic treasures allowed him to become one of the few Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the Advanced Stage that could defeat an Immortal Soul Stage Elder.

Lin Feng watched his battle with Fei Ye and nodded his head, "The smoke that appeared was the Cosmic Form that he cultivated. It's just that the Cosmic Form of a physical martial arts cultivator was not revealed to battle an opponent, but it was combined with the flesh. From there, the flesh and soul were strengthened.

Fei Ye was surrounded by the Marquis of Jinghuan and the God-Slayer Puppet. He was calm, "There's not only me in the Demon Phoenix tribe."

"Furthermore, even if there's only me, I will not allow you to wreak such havoc."

He raised his head and let out a clear whistle. His body turned into a ball of golden light gradually. In the golden light, a magical bird appeared. It had the head of a chicken, jaw of a sparrow, neck of a snake, back of a turtle and tail of a fish. In both its eyes, there were white flames flashing.

It was Fei Ye's real appearance, as he converted into a crimson red Demon Phoenix. His size was not huge and he was only 6 foot tall. But as his demonic powers spread, he forced the Marquis of Jinghuan and his God-Slayer Puppet back.

The white Pure Yang Primordial Fire was spurted out and even space was razed. The internal world of the Immortal Royal Flag became unstable.

The Marquis of Jinghuan laughed, "The Demon Phoenix possesses the Pure Yang Primordial Fire. This is something everybody knew. How could I not have prepared for it?"

In the dark void space caused by the Immortal Royal Flag, six clusters of jade-green hellfire lit up. In the surrounding space where the green flames burned, the heat could not be felt. On the other hand, it was extremely chilly.

Xiao Yan was stunned and he observed for a moment. He understood it soon, "It's not a real flame. It is an extremely cultivated Yin aura?"

As the six clusters of jade-green hellfire lit up, the entire space was covered in a green sea of fire, engulfing the entire internal world of the Immortal Royal Flag.

Regardless whether it was Fei Ye or Black Jade, they revealed a disgusted expression.

The Marquis of Jinghuan looked at Fei Ye and laughed, "Although this Six Cluster Ultimate Yin Formation cannot fully curb the Pure Yang Primordial Fire, it can reduce the strength of the Pure Yang Primordial Fire to some extent. It's not only effective when used against you. It's even more effective when used against her."

He instructed, "I shall take care of this Demon Phoenix. You will catch the Black Demon Phoenix for me."

Besides the strong man behind him, another middle-aged man in a white robe jumped out of space. He was very mighty and the vibration of his mana shook space. He was also a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator in the Advanced Stage.

Beside this man, there were a bunch of fighters decked in armors. They were all in the Nascent Soul Stage too. Their killing intents were revealed and they were bursting with confidence. They were people who had experienced many battles.

The plan of the Marquis of Jinghuan was to fight Fei Ye on his own, whereas the two Nascent Soul Stage Elders would lead a group to capture Black Jade.

Black Jade was in the Advanced Stage of the Demon Lord realm. As a Demon Phoenix, her powers were outstanding. Besides, she had the Pure Yang Primordial Fire, thus average Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the Advanced Stage were not her match.

But the Marquis of Jinghuan had used the Immortal Royal Flag to trap her and the Six Clusters Ultimate Yin Formation to reduce the strength of the Pure Yang Primordial Fire. With such a plan, he could greatly threaten Black Jade.

Especially since the Nascent Soul Stage Elders underneath him were not ordinary too. They were skilled in battle and were elites in their own realm.

Fei Ye stared at the Marquis of Jinghuan and unleashed another long whistle. In the whistle, there were signs of blood oozing from his pupils.

Demon Phoenix Tears of Blood!

The whistle of Fei Ye transcended the encirclement of the Immortal Royal Flag and sent his thoughts out directly to the Parasol Tree Forest.

The Marquis of Jinghuan saw this scene and nodded his head, "Is this the Demon Phoenix Tears of Blood? It's indeed extraordinary, for it to have escaped the trap of the Immortal Royal Flag."

He did not panic and said, "Your fellow tribesman at the Parasol Tree Forest should have received your calls of distress and are rushing over. But I have expected this too. They will need time to come. By that time, I will already have left with the beauty."

"Your effort is meaningless."

Fei Ye said, "Do you think you can escape."

The Marquis of Jinghuan laughed, "If your Demon Phoenix tribe bares it all, I am not capable of resisting. But there will be someone who can do it. Once I form the Immortal Soul, I will go to the Parasol Tree Forest one day."

"Just like now, I didn't think of killing you today. I only want to delay you. My subordinates will capture the beauty. When I form the Immortal Soul, killing you will be easy."

As he spouted these insane words, it seemed rather normal, as if it was supposed to be in that way.

Xiao Yan, who did not say anything from the start, laughed suddenly.

"It's easy to say. The Great Zhou Empire will let you take the rap. The trouble that you are causing now, once Liang Pan knows about it, surely he will let the Demon Phoenix tribe do anything they want with you?"

The Marquis of Jinghuan looked at Xiao Yan and said, "I have seen you long ago, you are from the Celestial Sect of Wonders, aren't you? From your dressing, you must be Xiao Yan?"

Xiao Yan laughed, "You have sharp eyes."

The Marquis of Jinghuan said, "I knew that there were Demon Phoenixes that entered the Divine Lands to see the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. They even managed to go up Mount Yujing. After a day, they left the mountain and returned to the Barren Expanses. But I didn't know you followed too."

"I don't know why you are with them. But if you don't spoil my plans, I won't make it difficult for you too. Once this is over, I will let you out of here."

Xiao Yan laughed, "So I have to thank you?"

"You still want to help them?" The Marquis of Jinghuan remained calm and he enunciated very word clearly. "The human and demonic clan have always been enemies. The demons kill humans, thus it is only right for me to capture and kill these demons."

"The leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is also a huge figure in the human clan. As his disciple, don't tell me you want to collude with these demons?"

Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders and laughed, "Don't rush into saying all these things. The Great Void Sect have always been wary of these demons, but they have not disturbed the Demon Phoenix tribe. It's not because they bully the weak and are afraid of the powerful. It's because the Demon Phoenix tribe have always been isolated. They did not even participate in the War between the Two Worlds.

"If you clash with other demons, the Great Zhou Empire may still support you. But you riled the Demon Phoenix tribe, turning them from a neutral party into enemies, do you think the Great Zhou Empire will still side with you?"

The Marquis of Jinghuan looked at Xiao Yan and laughed, "There are many things you don't know."

Chapter 514: Unleashing Everything After the Dormancy

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"I am indeed unsure of many things." Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders, "For example, I don't know how you have so much confidence to be so audacious. You must be so mad that you can't remember your name, can you?"

Xiao Yan sized up the Marquis of Jinghuan and was very unkind, "Don't tell me it's like what the rumors say, that you are the illegitimate child of Liang Pan? Even if you are, with the trouble you are going to cause, Liang Pan won't protect you."

The Marquis of Jinghuan had achieved a lot although he was young, thus he was greatly rewarded. He was even given the privilege to don the royal clothing, as if he was a royalty. There were a lot of internal discussions in the Great Zhou Empire. There were even those who thought he was Liang Pan's illegitimate son.

Liang Pan had never refuted these rumors, neither did the Marquis of Jinghuan reply to them.

Xiao Yan looked at him, "If it was Liang Yuan who riled the Demon Phoenix tribe, it will still be a heinous crime. The lighter punishment will be the stripping of his Crown Prince position, whereas there will be further serious punishment awaiting him."

The two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators behind the Marquis of Jinghuan as well as the other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators all felt uncomfortable by Xiao Yan's words. They looked at him unkindly and their killing intent expanded, leaving one petrified.

The Marquis of Jinghuan was not furious and said calmly, "That's why I say you don't know a lot of things."

"Xiao Yan, the senior disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Came from the Xiao Family in Wuzhou County of the Great Qin Empire. He should be 19 years old, but he had cultivated in the cave where time was sped up, thus he is now over 20 years old."

"A year on Xingyun Peak, he fought Shi Chongyun with his Aurous Core Stage cultivation. He has the Grand Sun Primordial Fire and Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire with him. He had once cultivated the combination of both Primordial Fires and destroyed one of Shi Chongyun's magic item. The fight ended in a stalemate."

The tone of the Marquis of Jinghuan's voice was calm. But he knew everything about Xiao Yan, "After the fight, he rose to the Intermediate Stage of the Aurous Core Stage. After that, he disappeared. The last time he fought was on Xingyun Peak."

"Now, with your cultivation already in the Advanced Stage of the Aurous Core Stage, you have indeed rose quite quickly. As compared to your previous exploits, your current abilities will enable you to defeat cultivators in the Intermediate Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage. You may even match up to a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator in the Advanced Stage."

As the Marquis of Jinghuan said till here, his eyes shifted a little, "There has been word that the Celestial Sect of Wonders is full of freaks. Now that I see you, I believe that it is real."

"The leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is also one of the freaks." The Marquis of Jinghuan's expression did not change. "But if you think you can stop me, then you are wrong."

"I can delay as I face this Demon Phoenix with my Ancient Royal Dagger. But if you are up against my God-Slayer Puppet, how long can you last?"

He might say that, but with his relaxed attitude, regardless whether it was Xiao Yan, Fei Ye or Black Jade, they could tell that besides the Immortal Royal Flag and the Ancient Royal Dagger, he must have some other tricks up his sleeves.

This was very terrifying. To have three magic treasures with Immortal Soul Stage abilities was not the end of this guy's powers.

"Maybe we can spar." The Marquis of Jinghuan said, "I will like to see how special the mantras and abhijnas of the Celestial Sect of Wonders are."

Xiao Yan was fearless and laughed, "Okay, let's try."

He clasped his hands and bright golden flames spurted out. They were like a small-scale Sun that rose in the internal world of the Immortal Royal Flag.

"Only the Grand Sun Primordial Fire? It's useless. Even without the Ancient Royal Dagger and if I was still in the Aurous Core Stage, you will still not be my match. What more now as I am in the Nascent Soul Stage and holding the Ancient Royal Dagger?"

As the Marquis of Jinghuan spoke, a figure flashed. The God-Slayer Puppet held off Fei Ye temporarily while he dashed towards Xiao Yan.

He was raging with excitement and combined that with the power of transcending space, allowing him to move faster than lightning.

"Spell of the Emperor, Order of the Dictator!"

The Marquis of Jinghuan grabbed the Ancient Royal Dagger with his right hand but did not use it. Instead, he kept it behind him. Whereas the five fingers of his left hand were wide open and they smacked down on Xiao Yan.

Om! Om! Om!

Space resonated with an explosive sound. Xiao Yan realized that the air in the void space surround him was taken away. Space was collapsing towards him, hoping to crush him in the center like a pile of minced meat.

The Marquis of Jinghuan smacked his palm down. With the might of an Emperor and his dominance, his orders were followed by the Heavens and Earth.

His domineering stature was exhibited in the form of the Order of the Dictator, playing out the frightening strength that resembled the destruction of the Heavens and Earth.

Xiao Yan had not gone through a fight with a Nascent Soul Stage Elder in the Advanced Stage. But he heard Zhu Yi and the rest mentioned about Nascent Soul Stage Grandmasters who revealed their powerful Cosmic Forms.

But they were never as powerful as the Marquis of Jinghuan's combination of his flesh and Cosmic Form.

Just the palm of the Marquis of Jinghuan could crush the Cosmic Forms of several Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

Even without the magic treasures, he could still defeat Nascent Soul Stage cultivators with his cultivation. There were few in his league.

"Ha, just nice!" Xiao Yan laughed. The bright and golden Grand Sun Primordial Fire in his hands started to transform.

A streak of golden flame that was shining with red and blue radiance shone in Xiao Yan's hands.

Within Xiao Yan's pupils, two flashes of fire were radiated. In his left eye, the color of the fire was pure golden and it was blinding. In his right eye, the fire was golden but flashed with red and blue that took turns to surface.

He summoned his powers to the extreme and his fingers became extremely flexible. He struck countless spells into the Primordial Fire in his palms.

A frightening aura was released. It was a power concept that razed everything and turned the Heavens and Earth into ashes.

"Heaven Fire Lotus!" Xiao Yan took in a deep breath and clasped his palms. The brutal flames settled down, consolidating to form a golden lotus seat that was as big as a palm. In the center of the golden lotus seat, red and blue radiance converted into stamens that swayed gently.

The Primordial Fire formed the Heaven Fire Lotus. Since Xiao Yan had reached the Advanced Stage of the Aurous Core Stage, the combination of the Primordial Fire was now much easier than it was on Xingyun Peak. It was smoother too and formed faster. This spell was completed almost instantaneously.

He had been too dormant for too long. He was about to unleash all of it out today and announce to the world that he was back!

At the same time, the palm of the Marquis of Jinghuan came smashing down.

Xiao Yan received the palm of the Marquis of Jinghuan using the Heaven Fire Lotus without hesitation. Amidst the boom, the black light world turned extremely bright.

In the next moment, void space was swallowed by the boundless sea of fire.

Even Fei Ye was astonished. Black Jade and the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators under the Marquis of Jinghuan were also petrified. The Heaven Fire Lotus was indeed very frightening.

Such a power was sufficient to destroy the Cosmic Form of an average Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. It was even possible for it to destroy their powers.

As the sea of fire engulfed the place, there was also the flashing of the red and blue radiance.

In the center of the sea of fire, Xiao Yan was like the king of flames. He stood there mightily and he looked serious. He stared at Marquis of Jinghuan who was at a distance away.

The Marquis of Jinghuan was also in the sea of fire, but he was unbothered by the flames around him.

Xiao Yan thought, "This person is very strong. Even if Shi Chongyun cultivated till the Advanced Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, he may not even be able to bear the Heaven Fire Lotus. For this guy now to resist it, he must be something."

"Such a power would guarantee victory over most Nascent Soul Stage cultivators." As compared to Xiao Yan, the Marquis of Jinghuan looked even more serious. Ever since he appeared, this was the first time he was surprised, "The two Primordial Fires that you combined, one of them is indeed the Grand Sun Primordial Fire. But the other…"

"Oh, golden and flashing with red and blue radiance. It is the Nanming Primordial Fire. You have the Nanming Primordial Fire. Besides the Grand Moon and Nanming Primordial Fire, you also have the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire." The Marquis of Jinghuan said, "You have three Primordial Fires?"

As he said this, everyone was shocked. They looked at Xiao Yan shockingly.

Even Fei Ye retreated from the God-Slayer Puppet and stopped the fight. He looked at Xiao Yan, "He has three Primordial Fires?"

Xiao Yan laughed and did not speak. His silence was consent.

It was silent suddenly. Regardless whether it was the Marquis of Jinghuan or Fei Ye, or even Black Jade and the rest, they all had the same question now.

Xiao Yan could combine the powers of two Primordial Fire. But could his Heaven Fire Lotus combine three Primordial Fires at the same time?

Two Primordial Fires were already very powerful. What if there were three Primordial Fires?

It could not be as simple as just an addition. How powerful could he get?

The vision of the Marquis of Jinghuan oscillated between Fei Ye and Xiao Yan, "To deal with Xiao Yan, I need the Ancient Royal Dagger. But that will reduce the pressure on that phoenix. Just the God-Slayer Puppet will not be enough."

"To deal with the both of them at the same time, I need more trump cards. But I can't reveal too much now." The Marquis of Jinghuan thought to himself, "And I don't have much time. The rest of the Demon Phoenixes will be here soon."

As he thought till here, the Marquis of Jinghuan gestured and the Ancient Royal Dagger was kept. Even the Immortal Royal Flag was retracted and Xiao Yan, Fei Ye and Black Jade were released.

Following that, the Immortal Royal Flag swayed and brought the Marquis of Jinghuan and his men away. They just left without delaying.

"The Celestial Sect of Wonders is indeed powerful." The voice of the Marquis of Jinghuan rung in the skies, "But this Black Demon Phoenix will be mine someday."

"Xiao Yan, you disrupted matters. I will settle this score with you some other day."

"But, if you have the time to interfere, why not use it to think about the future of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. I must warn you that the backer of Shi Tianyi is no longer just the Shi Clan and the Yu Clan."

Chapter 515: No Room for Tolerance for Certain Things

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

After hearing the words of the Marquis of Jinghuan, Xiao Yan raised his brows, "Oh? He has a new backer?"

The Marquis of Jinghuan's voice resonated in void space, "Shi Tianyi is cultivating on Mount Baiyun now."

After hearing the words "Mount Baiyun", Fei Ye and Black Jade looked at Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan felt a chill down his spine and grabbed his fist lightly.

Mount Baiyun was the intersection point between the Great Zhou and Great Qin Empire. It was almost the center of the Divine Lands. It was where the Great Void Sect was located.

The Great Void Sect was the first Holy Ground in the Grand Celestial World. It was termed one of the Three Holy Grounds in the Divine Lands, along with the Great Thunderclap Temple and the Mount Shu Sword Sect. The Great Void Sect was widely recognized as the leading one out of the three. Their disciples were all very outstanding.

During the War Between the Two Worlds, the Great Void Sect was the leader of the human race.

After the war, they were the ones who monitored the movement of the demons. Most of their attention were placed on the demonic world. Even so, no one dared to rile the Great Void Sect.

In the history of the human cultivation world, the Great Thunderclap Temple and the Mount Shu Sword Sect met with disasters before. The Great Thunderclap Temple was even destroyed during the War of Buddha Annihilation.

Only the Great Void Sect inspired much fear in others that no one dared to attack them.

Mount Baiyun had experienced a few clashes before, which were caused by conflicts between the humans and demons. But it was different from when the Great Thunderclap Temple was destroyed by the Hades Sea Emperor. Mount Baiyun was never taken down.

In the long history of the human cultivation world, the Great Void Sect often appeared as an arbiter. They tried to mediate the disputes between opposing parties and conserved the strength of the human cultivation race. Even the Great Thunderclap Temple and the Mount Shu Sword Sect were within the calculations of the Great Void Sect.

In the past, the younger Xiao Yan even wished that he had entered the Great Void Sect, so as to glorify his ancestors.

Although Xiao Yan did not have such an idea anymore, it did not mean that he did not understand why Shi Tianyi placed himself with the Great Void Sect.

Originally, Shi Tianyi's backers were only the Shi Clan and Yu Clan. To the Celestial Sect of Wonders, they were nothing.

But now that he had sucked up to the Great Void Sect, it was a great difference from before.

"No matter who he finds as his backer, justice must still be served."

Lin Feng's voice resonated and shook the entire universe.

As Xiao Yan heard it, he laughed suddenly.

Shi Tianhao's dispute with Shi Tianyi would never be resolved. No matter who tried to interfere, this vengeance had to be exacted. Whoever tried to stop would be killed.

Even if it was the Great Void Sect!

There were certain things that could not be tolerated.

Shi Tianhao would not do such a favor. His bunch of seniors and juniors would not do so either. Lin Feng would not do so too.

Xiao Yan recalled that a year ago, Lin Feng brought him to Xingyun Peak to fulfill the 3-year battle promise.

Although the Sword of Radiance Sect was nothing compared to the Great Void Sect, the reasoning was the same to Lin Feng.

"Master, the people from the Great Void Sect should know about the dispute between Shi Tianyi and Tianhao. Even so, they accepted him. This is an indirect challenge towards the Celestial Sect of Wonders." Xiao Yan pondered, "This does not fit in with their normal style. With their status, even if Shi Tianyi was an era-defining genius, they would not make an exception for him."

Not to say that the Great Void Sect was fearful of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. But it was just that they had their own style. Since it had been their working style for so long, there's no reason for them to deviate from it just for one guy. No matter how outstanding that person was, he could not be put in the same category as the Great Void Sect.

Lin Feng sat on Mount Yujing and used his mana to communicate with Xiao Yan, "Within the internal section of the Great Void Sect, there were the Conservative Faction and the Radical Faction. Although the Conservative Faction had always dominated, the Radical Faction was also very powerful. They have been plotting for very long."

"Previously, Pang Jie secretly revealed their locations, causing the Radical Faction to retreat and restrict their movements. But surely they won't remain in that state forever?" Lin Feng said, "The Radical Faction wants the Great Void Sect to rule the world, thus it is natural for them to accept talents."

"The disciples of the Great Void Sect were outstanding already, but there's never a limit for talents to be accepted. Especially for someone like Shi Tianyi."

Lin Feng laughed, "Xiao Yan, what do you think the Marquis of Jinghuan is plotting as he reveals this particular news to us?"

Xiao Yan was enlightened, "Master, so you are saying that the Marquis of Jinghuan is one of the talents that the Great Void Sect is nurturing?"

"That's right." Lin Feng said calmly. "He told us the news, because he wants to exploit the Celestial Sect of Wonders to remove a competitor."

Xiao Yan pursed his lips, "However, that guy is crazy. He seems to be confused."

"Even if it's the Great Void Sect, they won't try to disturb the Demon Phoenix, will they? They are pushing the Demon Phoenix to the side of the demons. When the two worlds clash again, the demonic clan will have another strong ally."

Lin Feng revealed a smiling intent on his face, "Two possibilities. Either he is plotting something else or he is an idiot."

Xiao Yan sucked in his mouth and said, "Master, if you say in this way, then it must be the former. But honestly speaking, no matter how I look at this guy, I still think it is more likely that he's an idiot."

Lin Feng laughed, "Actually, this is not important. If he has something else in mind, then he will take action sooner or later. Just wait and see what he does."

Xiao Yan had his physical spell body with him everywhere he went. Keeping the Marquis of Jinghuan was not difficult, but he was a gold mine that could be used repeatedly. Lin Feng decided to leave him for his disciples to slowly deal with.

To Lin Feng, the Marquis of Jinghuan was an unimportant character. He was more interested whether there were any other backers behind him.

"Continue to escort Lin Tong to the Barren Expanses. After that, bring her back safely."

Xiao Yan acknowledged that and continued with Fei Ye and Black Jade to the Barren Expanses. Very soon, there were other Demon Phoenixes that welcomed them. They rushed over from the Demon Phoenix Tears of Blood that Fei Ye had shown earlier.

There was a Demon Phoenix Grand Sage in the Undying Demon Soul Second Level that led the group. The rest of the demons had also formed the Undying Demon Soul too.

As many of them arrived at the Divine Lands, even if they were Demon Phoenixes, they attracted the attention of the human cultivation world.

The Demon Phoenix Grand Sage allowed the rest to bring Fei Ye, Xiao Yan and the others back to the Barren Expanses. He remained in the Divine Lands and awaited someone from the human cultivation world to explain the matter of the Marquis of Jinghuan to him.

Who arrived and how they interacted was beyond Xiao Yan's knowledge. Lin Feng and Xiao Yan did not bother themselves with what happened.

A few thousand miles from the location of the incident, a streak of black light appeared in the skies suddenly. As the light flashed, it converted into a huge flag. A youth appeared and stood below the flag. He floated in space. It was the Marquis of Jinghuan.

He remained indifferent and entered the internal world created by the Immortal Royal Flag. The world was divided into various spaces. The subordinates of the Marquis of Jinghuan were located in different planes of space. And in the other planes of space, there were huge amount of resources being placed there.

There were different types of resources, magic treasures, armors and weapons, elixirs and medicines. There was even cash.

Besides these, a huge plane of space was divided into several boxes which were separated from one another.

While they were small boxes, they occupied a vast plot of land each. Each of the sceneries in these small boxes were different.

In each of these plot of lands, there was something common. There was always a residence in each of them, whether they were luxurious or simple.

The Marquis of Jinghuan entered one of them. As he walked into the room of the residence, there were servants. There were also maids. Besides these servants and maids, there was also a beautiful young lady. She was sitting in front of her easel. As she held onto her brush, she drew lightly on the painting pater.

The young lady looked at the Marquis of Jinghuan entering and she smiled.

The maids all retreated as they saw him enter. They closed the room door too. One of them said, "The Marquis and Madam's relationship is so good. Out of all his concubines, he dotes on her the most. He always comes to find her."

"But I have never seen him spending a night here. After speaking with her, he will leave."

"That's right. It's weird."

Although they lowered their volume, how could their words miss the ears of the Marquis of Jinghuan?

He sat on a seat and said, "You have to change your maids again."

The young lady said, "You have a strong killer aura. You don't have to vent it out on others."

The Marquis of Jinghuan extended his hand and knocked the easel, "Don't talk in this manner."

The young lady laughed and closed her eyes. A light figure appeared above her head. From the light figure, Buddhis chants and songs started to ring out of it.

From the light, the figure of a monk could be seen. The monk laughed, "You must be in low spirits, from the way you are talking."

The Marquis of Jinghuan replied, "My plans were thwarted, thus I am in low spirits. If you are not pleased with me, you can choose not to work with me."

The monk smiled. He was filled with wisdom and was not easily infuriated. But the words he said were disturbing too, "I can kill you too, if I want."

The Marquis of Jinghuan replied, "In the short term, you can't find someone as good as me to partner with."

"You are right. I lack nothing except time." The monk replied, "However, if you are always like this, you have no chance of forming the Immortal Soul. Even if I'm pressed for time, I may still have to consider switching my partner."

The Marquis of Jinghuan remained silent for a while, before saying, "I was spouting nonsense earlier, please forgive me."

The monk replied, "No worries. Tell me what happened today. I have seen everything. It seems like the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders passed the Parasol Tree Wood Essence to the Demon Phoenix tribe."

The Marquis of Jinghuan said, "Whoever comes from the Celestial Sect of Wonders is indeed extraordinary. But that leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders actually caved in to the Demon Phoenix tribe. He returned the Parasol Tree Wood Essence that he obtained. He is really disappointing. From this, I can tell that he is nothing special."

"He likes to scheme and balance things out. No wonder he has lost his sharpness."

The monk thought, "You think so?"

The Marquis of Jinghuan answered, "That's right. Now I suspect whether he has the courage to oppose the Great Void Sect for his disciple, Shi Tianhao."

Chapter 516: The Abnormality of the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Marquis of Jinghuan said quietly, "How the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders does things is very similar to the Conservative Faction of the Great Void Sect. Even though he may react with harsh and tough measures at times, ultimately those are always secondary considerations for him. There are too many things that he has to think about."

"There's a saying that goes: The longer you spend out in the world, the more timid you get." The Marquis of Jinghuan's speech was controlled and his voice was like flowing water. "The bigger the Celestial Sect of Wonders gets and the further they expand, the more he has to consider and be wary of. The burdens he has to bear will increase voluminously, much like a steel chain locking him down."

The monk replied slowly, "I don't quite agree. If the Great Void Sect perceives the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders like you, they may not get what they want."

The Marquis of Jinghuan continued, "The Parasol Tree Wood Essence will be sent back to the Parasol Tree Forest in the end."

The monk within the ray of divine light smiled faintly and answered, "The Parasol Tree King has suppressed his injuries. From my perspective, we don't stand to benefit at all. Rather, the method has changed, that's it."

The Marquis of Jinghuan grunted in response. "You may not be affected much by it, but the troubles heaped upon myself have just begun."

The monk replied, "You don't have to worry. Of course, I will not break my promise to you."

He raised his palm and waved it lightly in the air. A picture made of pure light illusions shot into the middle of The Marquis of Jinghuan's brows. The Marquis of Jinghuan felt his body tremble and immediately closed his eyes.

"Good, good, good!" The Marquis of Jinghuan could feel his blood boiling in his veins, as if he were inside the core of the Earth. He returned to normal after a long while, and reopened his eyes as divine light shot out in all directions. "Wait, something's wrong. This is but a remnant?"

He stared straight at the monk. The monk said plainly, "If it's complete, what use will you be to the Great Void Sect or the Great Zhou Empire after they obtain it? What else can I do to protect you? If you wish to keep it for yourself, you'll never hide that fact from them. Only with me will you be able to find protection."

The Marquis of Jinghuan's gaze was trained on the monk for a long while. He nodded his head slowly but remained silent.

The monk laughed out loud and said, "With this as your foundation, the Great Void Sect and the Great Zhou Empire will have to forgive you for provoking the Phoenix Race, and support you as well. They may even value you even more."

"Furthermore, even if the Phoenix race returns to the demons completely, then it's just a rebalance of the situation. If that happens, war will not break out in the near future."

The Marquis of Jinghuan asked, "Isn't that what you want?"

Under the Great Void Sect's effortful plan for balance and peace, the power of the world of cultivation inside the Divine Lands were superior to that of the Barren Expanses, which was perennially experiencing internal conflicts.

If a war was incited between the two worlds, then the humans had a greater chance of victory. The plans and efforts of many cultivators were already being executed and bearing fruit in the shadows.

The Divine Lands seemed peaceful and calm, but in reality people were stirring in the shadows.

The plan that the monk had in mind was increasing the strength of the demon races. However, it also delayed the instigation of war. Still, only he would know whether this was rooted in compassion or for some other reason.

"After this, we have to wait and see what the Great Void Sect and the Great Zhou Empire will do to placate the Phoenix race. If they handle it well, then the Phoenix race may not return under the wing of the demons. They may well change their initiative and intervene in a war between the two worlds. However, if the possibility is there then many people have to reconsider their options."

"If somebody insists on declaring war on the other party, then there are more measures that I can take to draw the Phoenix race back to us." The monk began to smile as he stated his opinions. "Isn't it what you want as well, if the two worlds hold off on their declaration of war?"

The Marquis of Jinghuan did not dispute the statement, and nodded his head decisively. "Yes. There's a lot more that I can dig and excavate potentially, but I need time. If the war does occur between the entire Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses, it will be calamitous and even the lives of immortal soul cultivators will be at risk."

"If a war breaks out now and I hide at the back, there's nothing to be gained. If I take point then it's easy to fall into others' traps and malicious calculations and I'll just become cannon fodder."

The Marquis of Jinghuan observed his pale hands that harbored immense power and said slowly, "But if I can get just a little more time, then I will become the dictator of everything. And when that happens, then the war between the two worlds shall be my stage upon the Grand Celestial World."

"I shall be the main character of this era, and the demon races will be sacrificed as part of my legacy for millennia to come. The Great Void Sect, the Great Zhou Empire and the Celestial Sect of Wonders will all simply become my sidekicks and heralds for my rise."

The monk chuckled. "The sidekicks and heralds that you are thinking of, or perhaps the future meritorious 'sacrifices'– do they also include me inside?"

The Marquis of Jinghuan replied, "That will depend on the choice you make in the end."

The monk laughed and said, "I am actually considering killing you right here and now."

"I know you won't." The Marquis of Jinghuan smiled faintly and continued, "At least, when you haven't exhausted my value and when I am still of use to you, you will not murder me. In your eyes, you have absolute control over me and you can eliminate me whenever you want. If that's the case, why not squeeze me dry?"

Everybody would want = to be the hero and main character of the era. Everyone would have their own calculations, and would have a rightful measure of self-confidence.

However, the person who would get the last laugh would depend on their individual capabilities.

The monk said noncommittally, "If you don't put a filter on that mouth of yours then I may have to break my commandments and destroy you. My Buddhist mantras are not yet perfect anyway."

The Marquis of Jinghuan laughed and replied, "Please don't crack jokes like that. I'm sure you have already completely understood the nature of people and what they're thinking of."

The monk did not respond to his sentence and changed the topic. "You wish to give yourself more time, but do not forget that there are many others in the race along with you."

The Marquis of Jinghuan let out a shallow sigh. "Are you talking about the disciples under the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the other prodigies like Shi Tianyi? While it's a real cause for concern, I still don't think it's a big deal."

"For example, let's talk about Xiao Yan. I will find him sooner or later, and I will feed him until he's like a pig, and when he's fat enough I will slaughter him – this way I can reap the most benefits." The Marquis of Jinghuan laughed lightly and continued, "Three different primordial fires, heh heh, three different primordial fires… I wonder if he can handle a fourth? Can he obtain the Pure Yang Primordial Fire?"

The eyes of the monk sparkled a little. "Perhaps there will be more than four."

The Marquis of Jinghuan looked stunned for a moment. "Why do you say that?"

Xiao Yan, whom the Marquis of Jinghuan was so dearly concerned about, was not on his way through the Barren Expanses. He carried 林桐 along as they proceeded towards the Parasol Tree Forest.

On the other side, Lin Feng was sitting atop Mount Yujing as he began to contemplate. "Shi Tianyi has obtained the backing of the Radical Faction of the Great Void Sect. If he can enter Mount Baiyun for cultivation, then it can be assumed that the Conservative Faction of the Great Void Sect have agreed."

"Heh, that's interesting. You think I'm on the same team as you? You should know that some things can be compromised, but there are some things that cannot be negotiated at all."

Lin Feng laughed coldly. "I wonder if the strange happenings in the Shi Family and the Yu Family have anything to do with this? Perhaps, with the backing of someone else they have miscalculated their own worth."

Ideas continued to spin in Lin Feng's head and he voice-projected a message to Kang Nanhua. "Nanhua, do help me monitor and record the recent happenings within the Shi Family and the Yu Family. Do be meticulous and take note of all possible forms of information – don't miss out a single thing out of the norm."

Kang Nanhua acknowledged and instantly ripped open the void and left Mount Yujing.

Lin Feng sent him off and his eyes began to sparkle. He shifted his gaze towards a stone cave on the mountain and said, "Is that the flaming fox?"

That location was Hu Yanyan's residence. Lin Feng swept the area with his consciousness and saw that Hu Yanyan had discarded her human form within the cave and revealed her true form of the Flaming Fox.

Black flames flickered within her eyes. Behind her, seven fox tails flailed around and their tips were lit with black-colored Heavenly Apocalyptic Blazes.

Lin Feng perceived the scene and had a realization. "Seven fox tails now… Has she returned to the Demonic Lord intermediate stage?"

Hu Yanyan relied upon her own demonic powers and toiled to assimilate the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze into her body. From what could be seen, it looked like she wanted to tame the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze in one breath.

Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders. He pointed a finger into the sky and an immense streak of energy shot across the void and landed on top of Hu Yanyan's head.

Dense purple energy began to flow into her body to help her assimilate and tame the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze.

At this point, Hu Yanyan's progress in assimilating the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze had reached its final stages, and was only a tiny step away from success. However, this last step was the most difficult and the challenge was perhaps greater than everything before combined. With Lin Feng's help, it felt like a walk in the park.

The seven tails behind her were huge, and they were like flames of a bonfire and another tail appeared in no time. It was like a tiny flame, except this 'flame' grew bigger with dazzling speed and became like the rest of her seven tails in no time.

She was well on her way in recovering back to her Eight-Tailed Fox Demon King status, to the Demonic Lord advanced stage. Once she had assimilated the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze, her strength would have gained another level and after another period of meditation and cultivation she would be able to break through to the Undying Demonic Soul stage.

However, in the process of her assimilation, Lin Feng unkindly extracted about half of the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze.

The calamitous black flames ruthlessly consumed everything around them that they could touch, and this did not even exclude Lin Feng's mana. Lin Feng could only use the Fences of the Heavens spell to ward off the flames with the enacted barrier. Even then, the power of the boundary was continually being swallowed up by the black flames, and Lin Feng had to repeatedly replenish what was lost.

"Yes, no wonder it is as reputable as the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire." Lin Feng's expression suddenly changed as he realized that there was something abnormal about the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze within his palms.

The center of the black flames was surprisingly mixed with a strand of insidious mana that was difficult to detect. It was clearly not of the same origin as the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze and was different by nature, but somehow it was obscure and hard to detect as it integrated with the former.

If not for the fact that Lin Feng was using the Fences of the Heavens technique to directly contact the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze, he would have been fooled as well.

This was just something that was uniquely Lin Feng. If it was somebody else that sealed the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze, they would have been unable to delve deeper within as their mana and consciousness would be consumed completely by the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze. Only with the power of the boundary created by the Fences of the Heavens spell could one interact with this demonic flame for a prolonged period, at the end of which would one only be able to detect the problems within.

This strand of mana was not of demonic origin. Rather, it was a strand of mana formed by human cultivation and was just lying dormant and quietly within the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze.

The corner of Lin Feng's mouth curled into a strange smile. "Heh, so I was right."

From the first time that he saw Hu Yanyan, Lin Feng could already feel that the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze within her body was a little abnormal.

The power of the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze was extremely special. This type of primordial fire was the kind to consume everything around it to strengthen its own flames. It could not only consume cultivator mana and demonic mana, more often than not it could also consume the other six types of primordial fires.

However, the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze within hu Yanyan's body was a little strange and mysterious and was in something like a "half-asleep" state.

The power of the primordial fire was always in a tug-of-war with Hu Yanyan's personal demonic mana, but did not exhibit a single trace of the frightening unique quality of consuming everything in its path.

It seemed that Lin Feng had discovered the cause of the problem.

The strand of mana that was mixed with the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze was extremely unusual. When it materialized into solid matter, it took a form similar to the flames. It was hidden within the black fire and seemed like it integrated with the latter as one body, but in reality it had an independent existence.

Lin Feng's eyes closed into slits. "How is it that this concept of power feels so familiar… Heh, I understand now. This is the Vairocana Glass Cleaning Fire made from the Vairocana Sutra!"

Chapter 517: World-Ending Demon Monk, Vairocana of the World

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The mana materialized as fire that was hidden within the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze was actually the Vairocana Pristine Cleansing Fire formed from Buddhist sources of power. This was a Buddhist flame that was pure and without a single trace of blemish and its flames were completely transparent. Even though it was not listed amongst the Seven Legendary Primordial Fires, its essence was possibly superior to the Acalanatha Inferno.

Typically, the toughest challenge to one who wished to assimilate and control the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze was the fact that the process required personal mana exertion. However, if you used personal mana to assimilate the flames they were all bound to be consumed by the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze.

The refining process would be unsuccessful and the channeled mana would become a source of fuel for the fire and cause it to grow even bigger and stronger. The greater the flames, the harder it would be to refine and assimilate it in the end and this would land the cultivator in a vicious cycle. This was the reason why there were so few cultivators who could actually wield and control the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze over the course of history.

On the other hand, the Vairocana Pristine Cleansing Fire was not as ferocious and mighty by nature. Instead, it had a unique characteristic – it possessed a self-stabilizing factor and was unmoving till the end. There was a sense of the Buddhist veracity and truth-seeking as well as eternal volition and carefreeness, thus it was hard to be assimilated and refined as well.

While the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze consumed everything under the sky to fuel its own strength, everything would have an exception and the Vairocana Pristine Cleansing Fire was one of the only things that existed that the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze could not swallow or consume.

The Vairocana Pristine Cleansing Fire's destructive force paled in comparison to the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze. However, the latter simply could not do anything about it.

The reason why Hu Yanyan could tame and control the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze was because she managed to obtain the Vairocana Pristine Cleansing Fire.

Still, there was another mystery that remained. The Vairocana Pristine Cleansing Fire originated from the Vairocana Sutra and the Vairocana Sutra had been lost for many years. So who mastered and controlled this fire – and why did he or she gift it to Hu Yanyan?

If it was somebody else, that person would probably not have seen any further clues or nuances about the issue. However, Lin Feng had the complete text of the Vairocana Sutra with him – bar the outline, the backbone – so if he was willing to he could have produced and assimilated the Vairocana Pristine Cleansing Fire himself. Therefore, he was extremely sure that there was something amiss with the Vairocana Pristine Cleansing Fire that came from Hu Yanyan.

It was a version from another party's improvisation or edit.

There was a trace of demon race cultivation mantras, but when it integrated with the Buddhist mana there was not rejection whatsoever.

To achieve an outcome like this, two conditions had to be met. Firstly, the person doing the improvisation had to be at an extremely high level of mastery. Secondly, this person had to be extremely adept with the mantras of demonic cultivation as well as with the Buddhist mantras, dharmas and whatnot.

The nature of both sources of cultivation mantras were considered pinnacles of the era and were in line with world order and nature's laws.

Still, no matter how one looked at it, for someone to conceal things like that with such meticulousness he or she probably had an ulterior motive of some sort.

If Lin Feng had not borrowed the power from the Fences of the Heavens technique to scrutinize and investigate the specimen and instead just kept the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze like that, he would probably have fallen for the trick as well.

Lin Feng could not help but grow suspicious about Hu Yanyan. His guess was that Hu Yanyan was probably in the dark about what was going on, but the fact that she was 'picked up' by Tun Tun and Shi Tianhao could entirely be part of a devious plan of a secondary party.

When Tun Tun showed up at the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, those who wanted it would have no trouble investigating her backgrounds and whatnot. The feud and grudges held between the Dark Aqua Xuanming and the Heavenly Fox Tribe was also no secret.

When the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Grand Sage implored Lin Feng to keep Hu Yanyan on the mountain, Lin Feng already felt like there was something fishy going on. But before he scrutinized and probed the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze carefully, the fact that the Vairocana Pristine Cleansing Fire was hidden within was hard to detect. Lin Feng had not explored to the bottom of the issue, so he let it pass back then and just went with the flow.

"You can truly afford to risk everything," smiled Lin Feng. "Are you afraid of sacrificing your partner and your battling abilities?"

Lin Feng extended a palm and made a slashing gesture in the air. The Fences of the Heavens began to work its magic again and directly separated the Vairocana Pristine Cleansing Fire from the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze.

"Now, let me see who's behind all this."

A silhouette of an individual drifted into sight within the transparent flames.

It was one of a middle-aged monk with a robe wrapped around his body. Buddhist light flickered around his body and he had an air of dignity. However, the Buddhist light conspicuously exhibited traces of demonic energy.

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows. "Oh? It's a demon tribe that studies the arts of Buddha?"

The mana of both parties finally came into direct contact. The middle-aged monk turned to meet Lin Feng's gaze calmly and said, "The leader of the Celestial of Wonders… You are indeed worthy of your reputation. It is my lucky and pleasure, do pardon me for my lack of proper greeting and introduction."

Lin Feng stared at him and said slowly, "Over four thousand years ago, the Vairocana Sutra was announced as lost from the Great Thunderclap Temple. But you… You have mastered it. Is it because the Vairocana Sutra ended up in the Barren Expanses all those years ago, or is it because you have cultivated and studied under the Great Thunderclap Temple?"

The monk placed his hands together and replied, "We shall have a more detailed conversation the next time we meet."

As he said those words, his shadow gradually dissipated from vision. The flames of the Vairocana Pristine Cleansing Fire began to grow weaker and weaker and seemed like it was going to be extinguished in a moment.

Lin Feng muttered plainly, "It's too late for you to leave now."

The power of the barrier from the Fences of the Heavens suddenly transformed into a gigantic formless hand and directly pinched the Vairocana Pristine Cleansing Fire in its entirety and forcefully cut off the path of retreat.

The middle-aged monk said nothing more. He was originally seated down with his legs crossed, and he suddenly stood up and punched out towards Lin Feng at a distance.

As the punch came out, a concept of power akin to a divine dictatorship was exhibited and shook the heavens. It was the power of the Vairocana Sutra – the mantra with the greatest power of the Five Dhyani Buddhas Sutra.

It was the abhijna with the greatest battle prowess and was simultaneously the outline of the Vairocana Sutra – the Vairocana Zen Palm Fist Print!

It was like the Vairocana himself had descended upon the humble earth and began to dictate his whims upon the world as well as establish his domination over all beings!

It was the strongest abhijna of the human world of cultivation in the Divine Lands!

The punch that was unleashed had a world-shattering ferocity and the moment of explosiveness almost repelled Lin Feng's Heavens Arrest technique.

Lin Feng's eyes sparkled as he exclaimed, "Fantastic form!"

A dense and yellow-colored human form appeared within the barrier powers of the Fences of the Heavens spell. Seals appeared on both hands of this human form as the divine strength of these seals crashed down and instantly locked down the middle-aged monk.

The Vairocana Zen First may be powerful, but this was only a single concentrated strand of the middle-aged monk's mana that came from his consciousness and no abhijnas or whatsoever were involved. He was faced with Lin Feng's magical seal that had the force of the nine heavens, and could only sit there as he was locked down by Lin Feng.

The Vairocana Pristine Cleansing Fire had completely extinguished itself by now. However, it was not because the opposing party had successfully escaped, but rather due to the fact that he was completely imprisoned by Lin Feng.

The middle-aged monk still wore a calm expression and his consciousness had disappeared into nothingness. His last thoughts were still flickering as they read, "Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders… We… Shall… Meet… Very soon…"

Over on a patch of barren lands in the Barren Expanses of the demon world, a monk clad in grey clothes was casually strolling along.

He looked extremely young, like a youth that was only a few years older than ten. He was handsome and his features were attractive; the only ailing element was that his clothing was a little tattered and unkempt and he wore nothing on his feet as they stepped on the rough surface of the ground.

The young monk stopped in his tracks and raised his head towards the sky. Five flashes of light flickered in the sky and five other monks stepped out from within the radiance. Four of them were placed according to the directions of the compass – North, South, East and West respectively while the last person was in the center of everyone and right above the young monk's head.

The four monks placed according to the compass were all enveloped by divine Buddhist light. The monk in the East was a skinny monk with a calm and collected look. He was so skinny that his skin seemed to grow a shade darker as a result and his skin was plastered to his bones.

However, divine Buddhist light shot in all directions above the head of this scrawny monk. The light integrated and transformed into a giant ancient statue of the Buddha in the Eastern sky, whose body was pure golden and exuded blue light.

This ancient Buddha sat on a pedestal that was lifted by eight elephants, and held both the Vajra Pestle and the Bell – it was the exact form of the Acalanatha Tathagata.

The monk on the Western side was relatively older. The wrinkles and crevices on his face were yellow as two strands of sideburns drooped low by his sides. Even this physical body seemed to be slightly dwarfish.

Divine Buddhist light projected from the top of his head as well and formed another giant Buddha statue that filled the Western sky. Its body was a similar golden color, but the radiance that it exuded was red rather than blue.

The Buddha statue sat atop a lotus and full moon wheel, and the holy throne was supported by eight peacocks. It held a lotus flower in its right hand and a bell in its left – it was the statue of the Forever-Bright Tathagata.

The other monks in the Northern and Southern regions were both youthful-looking. One had a faint smile on his face while the other was expressionless. Their heads also projected divine Buddhist light and formed two different Buddha statues as the light rays congregated together.

The Buddha statue in the Southern sky was also sitting atop a lotus flower. There were eight horses that help up the throne and the full moon wheel. Its right hand possessed a set of Cintamani Beads while its left hand held up a bell – it was the Ratnasambhava of the Five Dhyani Buddhas.

The form that resulted from the congregation of divine Buddhist light was of the Amoghasiddhi. The Buddha statue held a pair of Vajras in its right hand and a bell in its left. Its throne was supported by horned Sangsang birds.

The four Dhyani Buddas surrounded the center. At the center of everything as a middle-aged monk – the same one that just crossed paths with Lin Feng.

He had an air of supremacy and dignity and his entire body was enveloped in divine Buddhist light as well. However, of the five of them only his head was not projecting rays of Buddhist light that congregated into one of the Five Dhyani Buddhas.

The handsome young monk stood upright upon the barren lands and raised his head towards the five other monks. "Give and take, it looks like."

The monk at the center of everyone said, "The leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is indeed impressive and is very worthy of his reputation. He not only discovered the Vairocana Pristine Cleansing Fire, he also sealed it away and I could not withdraw my power from it. He can possibly obtain the Vairocana Zen Palm Fist Print from this."

"Even though there are but three different forms, they ultimately ended up in his possession."

The grey-cloaked monk smiled plainly and replied, "The fact that there are three forms of the fist prints is not a big deal. The Vairocana Sutra is but a remnant and is incomplete anyway, that's why you have yet to materialize the physical body of the Vairocana."

"If the Celestial Sect of Wonders can help complete the sutra then it will be of immense benefit to us. I can't say no to that."

He raised his head towards the youthful monk in the Southern side. "How about your side?"

The youthful monk in the Southern sky laughed as he said, "Everything is within control. Even though there are some things that were not within our calculations – such as the fact that the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders returned the Parasol Tree Wood Essence. Anyhow, his most senior disciple Xiao Yan is headed towards the Parasol Tree Forest with the two other phoenixes. Maybe they are going there to obtain the Phoenix tribe's Pure Yang Primordial Fire?"

The grey-cloaked monk shook his head lightly and said, "Something else may have happened."

The middle-aged monk in the center glanced towards the youthful monk in the South who materialized the Ratnasambhava and frowned. "How could you pick someone like this to cooperate with? You may have just jeopardized the entire operation without any measure of progress. Ignorant about the truths of the world – if I were you, I will just destroy him on the spot."

The youthful monk chuckled and replied, "Humility is nothing, arrogance is also nothing – nothing is nothing, so why care?"

The scrawny monk in the Eastern sky suddenly opened his mouth. "You have violated the anger commandment."

The middle-aged monk in the center said quietly, "My cultivation is indeed imperfect."

"Stop this discussion. We still have things to do." The grey-cloaked young monk laughed as he tapped his forehead. The five monks descended from the sky and the congregations of Buddhist light was absorbed back into their bodies – however, it was their physical bodies that gradually dissipated into light shadows.

Five shadows walked towards the grey-cloaked young monk and integrated with the latter as one.

In the end, the young monk was the only one left on the barren lands. The Buddha statues in the skies disappeared, and it felt as if the other five monks never appeared at all.

"Time is running short." The young grey-robed monk smiled faintly as he continued forward and sauntered along the barren lands.

Chapter 518: The Ten Great Magical Prints

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Atop Mount Yujing, Lin Feng managed to imprison the strand of mana from the Vairocana Pristine Cleansing Fire. He laughed a little inside as he thought to himself, "I guess I have to thank you for the gift. Buy one get one free it seems – besides the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze, you have gifted me with the Vairocana Zen Palm Fist Print."

However, Lin Feng was slightly taken aback after sweeping it with his consciousness. "The Mahakasyapa Print, the Ananda Print and the Subhuti Print… What's all this nonsense?"

Even though he had never come across the Vairocana Zen Palm Fist Print, this form of martial way and abhijna had a stunning reputation and shook the Earth with its power and everybody knew of it.

The Ten Forms of the Vairocana Zen Palm Fist Print had been lost ever since, but its reputation was known by all.

The ten different mana prints were: the Original Print, the Cakkavala Print, the Infinite Print, the Formless Print, the Bodhi Print, the Maha Print, the Akhanistha Print, the Intelligent Fist Print, the Dhyana-Mudra Print and the Vajra-Freedom Print.

The Maha Print and the Bodhi Print were called such, but they were not simplified names for the Mahakasyapa Print or the Subhuti Print.

"Speaking of the Mahakasyapa and the Subhuti…" Lin Feng contemplated. "In accordance to Buddhist teachings and archives, it seems as if they are amongst the ten great disciples of Buddha. Ananda should be among their ranks as well."

Since the beginning to history and the immemorial eras and over the course of history, Buddha descended upon the earth and began to spread his teachings and established the Buddhist Sect.

The people that listened to Buddha's teachings were uncountable. Of this bunch, the ten most outstanding individuals were collectively referred to as the ten great disciples of Buddha.

The ten great disciples discussed and mulled over the great meanings of the Buddhist dharmas together and contemplated the meaning of carefreeness and loneliness, the empty spirit, the window to the truth about the self as well as the concept of ineffectuality of everyone on each other. These ten individuals were Mahakasyapa, Maudgalyayana, Purna, Sariputra, Rahula, Upali, Aniruddha, Katyayana, Ananda and Subhuti.

The Buddha only had to be in the heart. Anybody with Buddha within his or her heart could go to nirvana. Therefore, the Great Thunderclap Temple of old did not erect any statues of Buddha himself, but rather erected golden statues of these ten great disciples.

Four thousand years ago, the Royal Hades Region flattened half of the Great Thunderclap Temple, ad this led to some of the original statues of the ten great disciples to go missing.

During the war between the two worlds, the Great Thunderclap Temple sustained painful losses besides the ten authentic golden statues. If not for this, the Anti-Buddha Alliance may not have had such ease in eliminating the Great Thunderclap Temple during the War of Buddha Annihilation.

Lin Feng mulled over the three Vairocana Zen Palm Fist Prints that he obtained from the middle-aged monk. He began to connect the dots in his mind. "So this is the case. They didn't obtain the authentic Vairocana Sutra outline, so they didn't learn the Vairocana Zen Palm."

"This is perhaps the outcome of him roaming the world to search for the missing Ananda, Subhuti and Mahakasyapa statues, and subsequently pondering over the Buddhist dharmas hidden within and procured these three forms of the mana prints by himself."

Lin Feng carefully studied and even connected with the prints' concepts of power on a deeper level. "Real and fake at the same time. Still, it is of authentic descent – one could say this is the new Vairocana Zen Palm, and one could also say this if the fake Vairocana Zen Palm."

Even so, when Lin Feng compared his Vairocana Sutra – that was simply missing the outline – and the prints that he obtained, he could still affirm that these three prints that were derived from the three disciples' golden statues were still inferior in power to the original and true Vairocana Zen Palm.

"No matter what, this person relied on himself to derive all this abhijnas without losing the true wisdom and essence of the original Vairocana Sutra – it's still worthy of praise."

What Lin Feng was interested in now was whether he could derive the real and authentic Vairocana Zen Palm from the three prints that he obtained.

"I'll consult the library later." Lin Feng smiled and shifted his gaze elsewhere. Over there, Hu Yanyan was still cultivating in silence in her original form and was unaware of what had just transpired.

At this point, the voice-projecting crystal that Lin Feng grabbed in his palm began to react. The source was the leader of the Heavenly Fox Tribe of the Barren Expanses, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Grand Sage.

Lin Feng accepted the message and a normal and dull voice rang out. "Master Lin, it's my fault for what happened. I have come to apologize."

"My daughter Yanyan has no idea. I hope Master Lin will bestow magnanimity and forgiveness upon her. I will personally forge an Ancient Skin of the Original Oyster as compensation – do accept my gift."

The Heavenly Fox Grand Sage was indeed direct. The moment she opened her mouth she humbled her tone and directly offered compensation and asked for forgiveness.

The Ancient Skin of the Original Oyster that she spoke of could not be made from typical oyster demons. It had to be the remains of a demon which had already attained the Undying Demonic Soul.

Both oysters and foxes were demon tribes adept at illusory mantras and the like. The Ancient Skin that was originally of the Undying Demonic Soul Stage from the oyster demon, after refining by the Heavenly Fox Grand Sage herself, was definitely something extraordinary and would embody the most profound ideas and concepts of illusions and transformation.

Hu Yanyan had already assimilated the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze, and was bound to ascend to the Undying Demonic Soul. With the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze in hand, her prowess would be even greater than normal with immense potential.

A disciple such as her was worth the Heavenly Fox Grand Sage making such a sacrifice to guarantee her safe return in exchange.

Lin Feng did not answer the Heavenly Fox Grand Sage, but asked another question instead. "Who's that monk?"

The Heavenly Fox Grand Sage pondered for a while before she answered. "I do not know. That day, a young-looking monk came up Mount Qingqiu, and my Mountain Defense Illusory Formation was like nothing to him and he came up in front of me."

"This person's background is a mystery. He originated from demon tribes but he has managed to master the authentic Buddhist mantras from the Great Thunderclap Temple. I couldn't tell the limit of his power, but he was definitely stronger than me – there's no question."

Lin Feng's brows furrowed a little. "Oh? A young monk?"

The Heavenly Fox Grand Sage said, "That is correct. His human form is only a youth that's slightly over ten years old."

"It seems as if the middle-aged monk that I saw just now wasn't his original being but simply an avatar." Lin Feng contemplated to himself. "Buddhist cultivators have very acute senses and are big on seeing the true self, and go far enough to claim that they're the counters to Fox-type illusory spells. There is nothing surprising that he just strolled up Mount Qingqiu."

"After we met, this person offered the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze in exchange for my daughter, Hu Yanyan, to help him execute a plan." The Heavenly Fox Grand Sage came clean. "I got greedy so I agreed right away. However, Hu Yanyan has no idea, please do forgive her."

The corner of Lin Feng's mouth seemed to curl into an undetectable smile as he said plainly, "I will not seek trouble with your daughter. However, if you think that's the end of the story, you're wrong. It's not going to be so easy. The fact that you, the Heavenly Fox Grand Sage, collaborated with others to play me for a fool is a debt that cannot so simply be settled by the Ancient Skin of the Original Oyster."

The Heavenly Fox Grand Sage said quietly, "What do you need, Master Lin? Just say the word."

Lin Feng replied calmly, "If you have time, do visit Mount Yujing."

The Heavenly Fox Grand Sage was quick. After obtaining Lin Feng's permission, she came up Mount Yujing and met up with Lin Feng inside the main hall of the Celestial Sect of Wonders – the Grand Celestial Hall.

She transformed into human form. She looked like a middle-aged woman with an extremely typical look, but gave others a feeling of warmth and amiability. While her features were plain and typical, they still seemed to exhibit a certain beauty and were pleasing to the eyes. The more one looked at her, the more they would feel she was not so normal after all.

However, Lin Feng was well aware that this was an illusion of the Heavenly Fox Grand Sage and it was not the original human form that she would naturally transform into. Still, that was unimportant.

Lin Feng said something to her and the Heavenly Fox Grand Sage in front of him immediately entered into a state of contemplation.

There was dead silence in the hall. Lin Feng said upon the main seat with a calm and unworried expression and quietly waited for the Heavenly For Grand Sage's response.

After a long while, the Heavenly Fox Grand Sage opened her mouth and said, "Master Lin, I agree to your request."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "If that's the case, then please bring your daughter back with you."

The Heavenly Fox Grand Sage heaved a heavy sigh and brought the slightly dumbfounded Hu Yanyan along as they left the mountain.

Hu Yanyan scanned her surroundings and figured that there was nobody at the summit of the mountain. Her gaze turned to the clouds in the sky as well as the blazing mountain stones, and layers complicated emotions began to stir within her heart.

Lin Feng watched the two of them leave and chuckled softly. "Bastard monk – you think you can just get away with this by leaving this few things?"

"This is but round one. Our game has just begun."

This issue regarding Hu Yanyan did not stir up any commotion within Mount Yujing, until Tun Tun sneaked up to Hu Yanyan's stone room looking for trouble did she realize that the fire fox had already departed Mount Yujing.

What needed to be arranged had been settled and Lin Feng was not afraid of the Heavenly Fox Grand Sage going back on her words. Once the two of them left Mount Yujing, Lin Feng no longer paid attention to the issue and shifted his focus back to refining his own magical item and began to contemplate about his own mantras.

Time flew by. Mount Yujing was the same as always – Shi Tianhao was still shut-in and in the midst of cultivation while Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing were putting in effort on their ends. The whole batch of disciples from the second generation were also working hard.

Xiao Yan brought Lin Tong, along with the two phoenixes at the Grand Sage level, and returned to Mount Yujing.

One of them was the previously acquainted Fei Hua, and the other was in the second level of the Undying Demon Soul, also known as the Original True Spirit stage.

However, much like Fei Hua, he treated Lin Feng with respect. On one hand, it was respect for Lin Feng's battle prowess. On the other, however, it was more because he needed Lin Feng's help to persuade and permit Lin Tong to go to the Barren Expanses.

After they thanked Lin Feng again, the two phoenixes extended a cordial invitation to the Parasol Tree Forest as a guest.

Lin Feng laughed and accepted the invitation, and ended up idly chatting with the two of them.

Lin Feng did not inquire about the many happenings amongst the Marquis of Jinghuan, the Phoenix tribe, the Great Zhou Empire and the Great Void Sect.

Fei Hua and her partner did not dally any longer and very quickly took her leave. Xiao Yan was responsible for sending off their guests on Lin Feng's behalf.

After the two phoenixes left, Lin Feng laughed as he patted Lin Tong. The little kid was all over Lin Feng and was unwilling to get down. "Okay, you can come down now, Lin Tong."

Lin Tong exclaimed in defiance. "No, no, I miss my grandfather!"

Lin Feng could feel the shifts in spiritual energy in her body as he carried Lin Tong. It was indeed denser and more agile than before.

It was like that Fei Hua and the others said previously. When the ritual was healing up the Parasol tree King, Lin Tong also benefited greatly.

When Xiao Yan returned from sending off their guests, he watched Lin Tong as she hung onto Lin Feng like a little koala and was intensely amused.

Lin Feng glanced at him and looked at Lin Tong in his arms and laughed. "Lin Tong, look over there – someone's getting jealous."

Lin Tong blinked a few times and turned around to look at Xiao Yan. She sucked on her thumb and hesitated for a moment before she said, "Then… Then I will find you later." Then she rolled off Lin Feng's body and 'pounced' at Xiao Yan.

"Father!"

"How many times have I said it before, it's godfather." Xiao Yan was originally feeling extremely amused at the sight but could feel a headache coming on all of a sudden. Still, he was afraid of revealing this fact in front of Lin Tong and picked up the little girl. He glanced at Lin Feng with a look of exasperation and helplessness and whispered, "Master, you can't keep doing that."

Lin Feng casually smiled in response before asking Xiao Yan another question. "How's the harvest from this journey?"

Chapter 519: Terrifying News

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Xiao Yan hugged Lin Tong and patted her on the back. "There's nothing much else to be said about her. During the ritual to heal the Parasol Tree King, she has benefitted greatly."

"As for me, I don't think I wasted my time either." Xiao Yan laughed as two milky white flames sparkled in his eyes.

It was the Pure Yang Primordial Fire of the Seven Legendary Primordial Fires. It was touted by legend as the origin of all fires, the original version of fire in the Grand Celestial World. It was the purest and pristine form of fire, and it could integrate with many other kinds of fire to ward of all evil.

The flames of the Pure Yang Primordial Fire flickered continuously. It was not as radiant as the Grand Sun Primordial Fire, and was not violent and ferocious like the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire. Still, there was strength in the tranquility and calmness – it looked normal and typical, but was actually extremely deep and profound.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Now that's the Pure Yang Primordial Fire. If it was the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze, the True Torch of Kshitigarbha or the Red Lotus Fire, then you'll be in for some trouble."

Xiao Yan began to chuckle as well. With his current level of cultivation at the aurous core advanced stage, the limit to the number of primordial fires he could control was actually only three. If there were any more, the fires would clash like before and maliciously feedback into his body. He would fall sick all over again.

However, as the origin of all fires, the Pure Yang Primordial Fire had the mystical ability to assimilate other fires. This is the reason why it could forcefully coexist harmoniously with the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire, the Grand Sun Primordial Fire and the Nanming Primordial Fire.

Lin Feng knew this. This was the reason why he was not worried to let Xiao Yan venture into the Barren Expanses.

"At this point, when you fuse all three different primordial fires, the difficulty to cast the Heaven Fire Lotus will be greatly reduced." Lin Feng continued. Xiao Yan nodded his head continuously and replied, "Yes, master, you are right. This is indeed the case."

When he was still in the aurous core beginner stage and was only fusing two types of primordial fires, he had to be as careful as treading on thin ice. One single mistake and a loss of focus could lead to failure and would directly result in personal harm.

Even if the fusion was a success, the preparation period was still relatively long. Personal mana would be expended at an alarming rate as well, and sometimes it would even draw from his own soul and spirit. After a single stalk of Heaven Fire Lotus was created, he would lose all ability to battle.

After ascending to the aurous core intermediate stage, this circumstance was greatly smoothened, and when he finally reached the aurous core advanced stage he could already invoke the Heaven Fire Lotus that was fused from two primordial fires with extreme ease and comfort.

Whether it was Lin Feng or Xiao Yan himself, the initial estimation was for Xiao Yan to advance to the nascent soul stage before he could channel and control the twin fire lotuses comfortably – yet, he had achieved this feat when he was only in the aurous core advanced stage.

This was because an unforeseen circumstance came into play. Xiao Yan absorbed the Nanming Primordial Fire by accident, and resulted in his body acting against himself.

Yet, it was during this period of silent cultivation when Xiao Yan was smoothening the primordial fires within his body, slowly honing his mana strength and solidifying his foundations that he managed to attain a greater level of control over primordial fires.

Xiao Yan managed to profit from a misfortune. Under his circumstance as an aurous core stage advanced stage cultivator, the level of control at which he wielded the twin fire lotuses was off the charts and highly precocious. It was all a matter of efficiency from preparation for what was to come.

However, the power difference between the twin fire lotus and the tri fire lotus was not as simple as adding two and one together. The difficulty in controlling the former and the latter was also vastly different. To fuse three types of primordial fires together to catalyze the formation of the heaven fire lotus as a nascent soul advanced stage cultivator was still extremely risky.

The difficulty level was great, and the level of consumption was equally so. The chance of failure was no less.

If there was any mistake in catalyzing the formation of the heaven fire lotus, the person that would be hurt first would be Xiao Yan himself. The more primordial fires fused, the greater the power, but at the same time the toxic feedback would also more severe.

If he used the Pure Yang Primordial Fire to fuse with the other two to form the Tri Fire Lotus, then the level of difficulty would be greatly reduced. It would be safer and much more stable, and there would also be a much higher chance of success.

"Xiao Yan, you need to be wary and know what you can and cannot do." Lin Feng pointed out a few reminders. "The Pure Yang Primordial Fire simply increased your chances of success at fusing the three primordial fires together. Fusing three primordial fires into the heaven fire lotus would still consume a lot of your energy."

"The fusion of three primordial fires may land you in the same situation like back on Xingyun Peak – you can possibly end up in a state of complete weakness after just one strike."

Xiao Yan nodded his head solemnly. "Do not worry, master. I understand perfectly."

Afterwards, he rubbed his mouth and an expression of pity and regret came across his face. "What waste. I have four primordial fires now – if I can fuse four primordial fires together, what kind of power will I have?"

Xiao Yan knew that this was only a fantasy in his head and was a highly unrealistic target.

With his current level of cultivation at the aurous core advanced stage, all he could do was prevent the four types of primordial fires from clashing with each other within his body. That was already the limit. Fusing three primordial fires together was already extremely challenging, so fusing four was pretty much an impossibility. If he dared to attempt the latter, it was as good as seeking his own demise.

Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yan with a faint smile. "You little shit. You're greedier than Shi Tianhao. Your appetite is so big – if you're not afraid of bursting your stomach, I actually have a fifth type of primordial fire with me."

Lin Feng flipped his palm and a transparent prism of layers over layers of crystal appeared. The prism enveloped a sphere of black flame, which had all kinds of evil and frightening aspects to it. It felt as if it could swallow and consume the entire world and bring about an apocalypse.

Xiao Yan's eyes sparkled. "This… This is the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze?"

Lin Feng laughed and answered, "That is correct. This is the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze. What do you think, you want some?"

Xiao Yan's mouth gaped open, and laughed sheepishly after a long while. "Next time, next time."

Lin Feng shook his head and pulled a serious face. "Not too long. You'll need it for your ascension to the nascent soul stage."

Xiao Yan was stunned at his master's words. "I don't quite understand, master."

Lin Feng smiled faintly. "No matter. You will naturally understand when the time comes. Don't worry too much as I have made plans for you. But before that, you need to study the Four Appearances Heaven Cleaving Script."

Xiao Yan seemed to mull over what was said. He nodded and replied, "Yes, master. I shall take special care to study that mantra."

After their discussion, Xiao Yan thought of something that he should have asked previously. "Oh yes. Now that we have the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze, what happened to Hu Yanyan?"

Lin Feng turned and glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. "Why, you like her?"

Xiao Yan pouted a little. "Oh come on… I was just a curious. If she has successfully assimilated the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze, then she must be close to the Undying Demonic Soul."

"That is indeed true. Still, whether or not she will be successful is entirely dependent on herself," Lin Feng replied plainly, "She is not on her way back to the Barren Expanses with the Heavenly Fox Grand Sage."

Xiao Yan seemed to pull a face of relief. It was apparent that his days of emotional rollercoasters with Hu Yanyan were over.

Lin Feng laughed as he asked, "I cut off our connection the moment you and your company set off towards the Barren Expanses. Do tell me the story of what happened during your trip to the Parasol Tree Forest."

Even though he left his own mana prints and Physical Spell Body on Zhu Yi and Xiao Yan, the purpose was purely for his disciples' safety. Only when they were in trouble did Lin Feng separate a strand of his consciousness to check out the situation.

Lin Feng did not bother about what they did from day to day.

Xiao Yan immediately began to recount the happenings from the moment the Marquis of Jinghuan left and he departed to the Barren Expanses with Lin Tong and Fei Hua.

There was nothing too special about what happened. The phoenix tribe and the parasol tree tribe were prideful people, and they would find a way to repay Lin Feng for the favors he bestowed upon them.

Even though the Pure Yang Primordial Fire was precious, Xiao Yan did not put in much effort to obtain what he wanted.

The Parasol Tree King was waiting for Lin Tong's arrival from the start. Once Lin Tong showed up, the ritual was initiated. Through the ritual, the Parasol Tree King efficiently remedied his ancient and stubborn malady, and Lin Tong received a cleansing something like a baptism and was on the receiving end of great benefits.

"However, the Parasol Tree King's injuries were not entirely cured and was only temporarily suppressed," Xiao Yan continued to explain. "According to the words of the phoenix and parasol tree tribes, after a period of time they have to reinitiate the ritual. However, this period is extremely long and the spell power of each episode can last thousands of years."

Lin Tong was the Parasol Tree Wood Essence that was lost within the Secret Treasure of Kun Peng. The Parasol Tree King sustained thousands of years of torturous pain by relying on his level of cultivation.

After the storytelling, Lin Feng remained silent for a while as he pondered about something. "In the most recent thousand years, the Parasol Tree King should have been resting and nursing his wounds. He could have only sustained for thousands of years if he did not engage in combat with anybody…"

If he engaged in combat with adversaries of the same level of cultivation, nobody could say how much longer he could sustain himself.

Lin Feng asked, "Do you know what cause the Parasol Tree King's injuries?"

Xiao Yan shook his head and looked a little flustered. "I am curious as well. However, the people there were hard nuts to crack and I couldn't get any information out of them."

"However, judging by the reactions of the phoenix tribe and the parasol tree tribe, they were a little awkward and somewhat embarrassed when the issue of his injury was brought up. Therefore, I think his injuries were man-made rather than by something natural!"

Lin Feng nodded his head slowly. "Man-made" pretty much meant that somebody beat him into that state.

But who could be so fearsome and ferocious? The Parasol Tree King's level of mastery had to be measured by the millennia. He was already at the third level of the Undying Demonic Soul, also known as the Syncretic Star Soul. He was patient and had a nice temper, but he was extremely powerful.

Even if he suffered his injuries to overcome and eliminate his adversary for good, the power of this adversary would still be highly formidable.

If he sustained greater losses than his adversary, then that would indeed be frightening.

Lin Feng was chatting idly with Xiao Yan until he felt a tingling in his mind. He turned his head and looked the other way as a gap appeared in the void and Kang Nanhua stepped out.

"Nanhua, what's wrong?" Lin Feng could tell that Kang Nanhua's expression was solemn and gloomy and asked immediately.

Kang Nanhua replied, "Sir, I have just received news that the Shi Family and Yu Family previously sent out powerful cultivators to assassinate Shi Tianhao's parents!'

Lin Feng's eyes closed into slits. "Tianhao's parents have emerged from the Void Battleground?"

Kang Nanhua nodded his head. "They have come out from the Void Battleground. They contacted people they are close to within the family and tried to inquire about Shi Tianhao. In the end, they exposed themselves, and the people they are close to in the family are now being imprisoned."

"Afterwards, the Shi Family and the Yu Family sent out troupes of nascent soul stage grandmasters to try and capture and eliminate Tianhao's parents."

Kang Nanhua took in a deep breath and said quickly, "The two of them are vastly outnumbered. They were forced to return to the Void Battleground to seek refuge – but now that they are back inside, coming out would be even harder."

"Furthermore, rumor has it that Tianhao's mother is severely injured and nobody knows if she can make it…"

Chapter 520: Bring The Fight To Their Doorstep!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"The Shi Family and the Yu Family are too much!" Xiao Yan's face turned black. He was as shocked as he was infuriated by the news that Kang Nanhua passed along.

Lin Feng asked quietly, "Then what about Tianhao's grandfather? Any news?"

Kang Nanhua answered, "Still unknown as of now. Tianhao's parents were the only two that came out from the Void Battleground."

After he spoke his piece, Kang Nanhua shut his mouth as he realized that the Lin Feng before him was as frightening as ever.

Even though Lin Feng still wore a demeanor of calmness and composure, his entire body was enveloped with a circle of disastrous energy, as if a great calamity had befallen upon the world.

On the other hand, Xiao Yan watched his master with a tinge of warmth in his heart.

He could tell from his memory that his master was truly angry. He had only seen Lin Feng enter this state twice before.

The first was a long time ago when Wang Lin first came under his wing. Xiao Yan and the others were besieged by their enemies, and Xiao Yan sustained great injuries in a noble effort to protect Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao.

The other time was when he consumed the Nanming Primordial Fire and was in a dire state from the toxic feedback, and Lin Feng initially thought that it was an injury sustained at the hands of somebody else.

Lin Feng's gaze turned calmly towards the Wasteland Valley and muttered under his breath. "Tianhao is still a shut-in…"

"Master, I'll go!"

Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly and exclaimed with cold determination. "Little Junior is currently shutting himself in and some people are trying to assassinate his parents. These perpetrators will pay for their sins. As the eldest senior, I will not sit around as my junior's family is under threat – this is also a form of provocation towards the Celestial Sect of Wonders, we can't just let it go."

Lin Feng glanced at him momentarily and nodded his head. He waved his hand and the purple in the sky began to condense into a reel-like structure.

Subsequently, Lin Feng tapped his finger on the reel and the originally empty reel spiraled with dazzling speed as it continued to ripple in the sky. A surge of terrifying energy was unleashed from within, much like the destruction of the world.

Lin Feng passed the reel to Xiao Yan, and his eyes sparkled as a ray of flowing light shot from his left eye into the middle of Xiao Yan's eyebrows.

Afterwards, Lin Feng said only one sentence.

"Flatten the Yu Family."

Xiao Yan flashed a smile and revealed a row of white teeth. "Don't worry, master. I have been waiting for this moment ever since discovering my Little Junior's life story."

Lin Feng continued, "I will leave the Shi Family to Shi Tianhao himself. The Yu Family will be your responsibility."

Xiao Yan acknowledged his instructions and descended the mountain without delay. His first destination was straight towards the capital of the Great Qin Empire – Xiling City.

There were Yu Family residences all around Xiling City.

He was going to destroy the residences in Xiling City, then onwards to their ancestral home!

The history of Xiling City was even longer than Tianjing City. It was the grandest city within the Divine Lands at this point in time. One could feel the traces of energy even as one walked along the streets of Xiling City. It felt as if the entire city was enveloped in some circle of mystical energy.

Ever since the beginning of time up till present day, the passing of infinite years and months was not that much different from the blink of an eye.

The Yu Family was one of the four great families of the Great Qin Empire, and their establishments in the Western sectors of the city were vast and their influence was similarly large.

Even the individuals guarding the doors seemed highly capable.

In olden days, this place was one of the most revered places inside Xiling City. However, about a year ago, the Yu Family's reputation sustained heavy losses and following their incessant conflicts with the Celestial Sect of Wonders at Shazhou City and Mount Kunlun, their reputation pretty much crumbled into dust.

This severely affected the Yu Family's prowess and all that happened had a destructive effect on their influence as well.

Across the street from the Yu Family's main residence, somebody glimpsed at the vast and sprawling estate and asked, "This is the main residence of the Yu Family?"

He paused for a moment too long. The guards in front of the main gate instantly turned their gaze towards this man. "This is the main residence of the Yu Family. Spying by unrelated personnel and loitering of strangers are prohibited!"

The middle-aged man was also an aurous core beginner stage cultivator. Even though he was an independent cultivator, he could already feel the embarrassment from being told off by a simple servant.

He glanced again at the towering skyscrapers and the gigantic mansions. Even the doors rippled with mana.

The middle-aged man hesitated and did not have the courage to stir up any trouble. The Yu Family were being beaten to pulp by the Celestial Sect of Wonders at the moment, but he could still not afford to offend them.

He turned around bitterly and grunted to himself. "Already beaten to a pulp by the Celestial Sect of Wonders – and you're still so overbearing? Still think you guys are like before?"

The middle-aged man was just about to open his stride when he suddenly realized that his body no longer listened to him; in fact, he could no longer move at all.

A piercing feeling of coldness permeated through his body and he discovered, to his frightening surprise, that his body was crawling with layers of blue-colored frost.

Severe frostbite that pierced his bones froze up his body and his mana. He could no longer channel his mana freely, and even his soul and spirit seemed to be frozen along with his body. His thoughts began to slow down and it seemed as if his logic was about to be frozen in place.

A white-robed youth appeared in front of him and stared at him coldly. "Anybody that meddles with and offends the Yu Family will end up like you."

"The Yu Family has a history of close to a millennium since our rise. We have been through rain and shine and we have seen the endless cycles of life. The Celestial Sect of Wonders may be outrageous like they are now, but they have sinned and are bound to be destroyed."

"And when that happens, the Yu Family will still be the Yu Family – we will still be here, and we will not be taunted by the devilish tongues of independent cultivators like yourself."

The middle-aged man struggled to exclaim, "That was… only a few words, and you… You wish to… take my life…"

The white-robed youth replied plainly, "You brought this upon yourself. You can't blame me for that."

Besides this white-robed youth, there were other members of the Yu Family who were also clad in white. They were just returning from their expeditions and were just about to return to the main hall when they met this middle-aged man. Right now, they were all watching coldly at the man as he was slowly engulfed by Xuanming Primordial Water.

For the Yu Family of current, the Celestial Sect of Wonders had become something of a taboo. Any reference to them would trigger their wounds that were imprinted heavily upon their souls.

"But, I feel like there's nothing wrong with what he said."

A voice suddenly rang out from the side. A tiny ball of golden flame emerged immediately following his sentence, much like the radiance of the tip of a needle.

The golden radiance clashed with the blueish frost that was just about to solidify, and forced back the white-robed youth's Xuanming Primordial Water.

The troupe of Yu Family members turned around in shock. "Who goes there?"

Before they could even react, a vast ripple of energy was released and flipped the entire group of people head over heels. Only the middle-aged man that just narrowly escaped death stood there rooted to the spot.

The white-robed youth had the highest level of cultivation amongst this group of Yu Family disciples. He lay flat on the ground and was struggling to get up when he suddenly felt an intense headache and dizziness. His whole body was in torturous pain, as if he was being burned by roaring flames.

He was petrified. He never thought that both his physical body and his soul could be so seriously damaged in such a small period of time.

He wanted to use the Xuanming Primordial Water to suppress his injuries, but what he did not expect was that the aurous core within his body was dull and lightless and he had no power to channel the Xuanming mantras.

"Who's that? Don't you know what this place is?" The horde of Yu Family disciples exclaimed in shock and anger.

What appeared in front of their eyes was a sphere of golden fire. Countless needle-like flames shot out in all directions and it was so blinding that others simply could not look at whatever it was directly.

It was much like a tiny sun that emerged in front of everyone.

A voice came out from within the golden flames. "Xuanming Primordial Water? Must be the Yu Family mantras."

The white-robed youth exclaimed once again in anger. "Since you know this is Yu Family territory, you still dare to fool around?"

"If it's the Yu Family then it's correct. It means I did not hurt someone else by mistake." A shadow flickered inside the sphere of golden flames. The shadow stepped towards the main residence of the Yu Family with a steady pace.

"I am looking for the Yu Family!"

Everybody around witnessed the scene with faces full of horror. "What happened? Somebody is looking for trouble with the Yu Family?"

"The Yu Family are really messed up now. Several of their nascent soul stage grandmasters were eliminated by the Celestial Sect of Wonders previously, and even then, they didn't even dare to make a sound. Now somebody is bringing the fight to their doorstep… This time they are truly on the verge of collapse."

"I don't think so. This individual's level of cultivation clearly isn't that high. At least he's not at the immortal soul stage. As long as it's not an immortal soul stage cultivator looking for trouble, then the Yu Family shall endure. This place is anchored by nascent soul advanced stage grandmasters."

"True… The Yu Family residence has several powerful magic formations set up all around, and these formations are also directed by nascent soul advanced stage grandmasters – anybody below the immortal soul stage cannot possibly fight his or her way through them."

"It may seem as if the Yu Family are doomed, but even if the greatest entities sustained severe losses, the were still bigger than the smaller ones. He has the audacity to seek trouble at their front door… I'm afraid this time he's going to land himself in some serious problems!"

"They are an old and revered family after all, and are not so easily mocked by others!"

"The immortal soul powerhouse Xuanming Holy Man, Yu Xintao is still there. The Yu Family will not meet their end today. Even if the Xuanming Holy Man does not step forth, the Yu Family ancestral grounds also possess multiple powerful cultivators. This guy is a goner for sure!"

The white-robed youth lay motionless on the ground as he laughed coldly. "You little shit. You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. It seems as if any random person has garnered the courage to behave atrociously towards the Yu Family! Today I shall paint the floor with your blood to warn all these blind men!"

"Still, the flames on his body… That looks like the Pure Yang Primordial Fire!" The white-robed youth's eyes enlarged an entire inch. "Besides the golden crow of the demonic tribes, the only humans that can control the Pure Yang Primordial Fire are…"

At this moment, the sphere of sun-like golden flame arrived in front of the Yu Family residence. Tyrannical forces erupted outwards and flattened anybody who dared to resist.

"You wish to die?" From deep within the Yu Family residence, a formidable streak of energy surged forth and the void in front of the Yu Family Residence split open as a white-robed middle-aged man stepped out from within. It was a nascent soul stage cultivator.

"You…"

He was just about to say something when the golden flames in front of him exploded outwards with unrivaled speed!

The golden light of the Pure Yang Primordial Fire transformed into a murderous tiger as it lunged at the nascent soul stage cultivator with a deafening howl.

The middle-aged man clad in white only had time to congregate a tiny mass of Xuanming Primordial Water in front of him, and was subsequently forced backwards with immense force by the fierce tiger!

A loud boom ensued as the main door of the Yu Family residence collapsed into ruin.

The middle-aged man clad in white was buried under the pile of rubble and nobody knows whether he was dead or alive.

Everybody that witnessed the scene drew cold breaths. "Who is this guy? Such ferocity! He destroyed his opponent with just one move! A nascent soul beginner stage cultivator had no chance to retaliate at all!"

"Even the main entrance to the Yu Family residence is now destroyed. The Yu Family are really in trouble this time!"

The fearsome tiger that the Grand Sun Primordial Fire transformed let loose another howl into the sky. The shadow within the golden flames gradually became clearer – it was a youth with a tall and straight posture and decently handsome features. He wore a purple tight-fitting suit and a black cape draped over his back.

He raised his head and shot a cold look at the Yu Family residence.

"Oh, Yu Family… Your creditors are here."

Chapter 521: Only Wish To Do One Thing – Flatten Your Home!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The grand residence of the Yu Family was vast had a strong and formidable aura about it. It had existed within Xiling City for an extremely long time.

However, the main gate to the residence had now completely collapsed and lay in ruins.

It was like an intimidating and handsome-looking male being shaved bald just like that.

His hair was completely gone, but everywhere else still looked perfectly fine – except there was one part that was bald and empty and it resembled someone with a skin disease at the top of his head. All the formidability and all the grandeur became a joke all of a sudden.

A ray of blue light appeared over the Yu Family residence. Uncountable glyphs and runes congregated to form magic formation after magic formation, and all these smaller formation parts came together to from a gargantuan one. This final form emanated an icy aura that seemed to originate from the immemorial times, and one that felt like it could freeze everything under the sky.

It was like a giant beast awakened, and it was hurt and angry and wanted to tear apart all life.

The tiger that was formed by the Grand Sun Primordial Fire stood its ground, unafraid. It roared at the Yu Family residence, and came alive with ferocity as it lunged violently at the icy magic formation.

The person controlling the Grand Sun Primordial Fire was, of course, none other than Xiao Yan. He watched the Yu Family residence in front of him with a cold and indifferent expression.

"Those not directly related to the Yu Family by blood, leave now. If not I will kill everything that moves."

Once this was said, everybody stirred into a furor.

Somebody recognized Xiao Yan. "Isn't that the cardinal disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Xiao Yan?"

"Xiao Yan? I thought he hasn't been seen for a long time, why is he suddenly showing up here?"

"The Celestial Sect of Wonders? I thought they were victorious the last time they fought with the Yu Family?"

"I heard every time it was the Yu Family that sparked the conflict but ended up suffering defeat. Still, this didn't mean that the Celestial Sect of Wonders would just let it go. They're here to settle their debts!"

"Then why not come earlier? Why now, after an entire year?"

"Who knows. Maybe it's because the Yu Family did something that pissed them off?"

As for everybody's discussion, Xiao Yan did not have a care at all. He opened his stride towards the YU Family, still wearing his cold expression.

An old voice rang out from within the blue and icy magic formation. "Youngster, your Celestial Sect of Wonders is too much. Do you really think that the Yu Family can be so easily bullied?"

This voice was charged with immense power and shook the earth all around. The ripples of this dense and vast streak of mana seemed like something only a nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster could produce.

The surrounding audience were shocked. "It's the nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster anchoring the Yu Family residence inside Xiling City. It is quite apparent that he has been activated at first notice."

Faced with a powerhouse of the nascent soul advanced stage, Xiao Yan flashed a warm smile. "You are very clear about what you guys have done."

"Just let me ask you one question. Did you have a part in besieging my little junior's parents?"

The voice came out again from the magic formation after some thought. "That's the Shi Family's business. The Yu Family has a historical rapport and camaraderie with the Shi Family, so we were just lending a hand…"

Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Yan cut him off coldly. "Enough. You can stop with the rest of your nonsense. All I needed was for you to admit your responsibility – now you have my permission to die."

The voice of the nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster turned cold as well. "Ignorant child. You're only of the aurous core advanced stage and you're already acting so outrageously! I shall capture you and bring you back to your master to question how he disciplines his disciples!"

Before his voice died down, a gigantic figure of a few hundred feet tall emerged from the top of the blue-colored magic formation and stepped out onto the void.

This giant only had one arm, and only a single eye grew on its face. This eye was like a crystallized form of a raindrop, and exuded a pulverizing force that felt like it was going to freeze the whole world over.

Once the giant revealed itself, the chilly air was almost about to envelope the entire Xiling City. This aura directly triggered the city's natural defense mechanism, which led to the chilly aura being contained within a fixed area of effect.

The intimidating aura still terrorized everything around it. Every single one of the onlookers were forced back a couple steps, in order to avoid being collateral damage.

Those who were unwilling to step back were immediately frozen into ice statues in no time!

This nascent soul advanced stage elder channeled his cosmic form right from the start. He wanted to defeat and capture Xiao Yan in one move to repay the humiliation that the Yu Family suffered at his hands today!

"Ignorant child, the Celestial Sect of Wonders is really too much. You have hurt and murdered so many members of the Yu Family already, and now you have come to my doorstep looking for trouble. I will capture and murder you on the spot first as a form of interest payment from the Celestial Sect of Wonders. I will return the favor in the future!"

Xiao Yan could not help himself and chuckled. "It is you who keep provoking the Celestial Sect of Wonders. You brought this upon yourself, but now you want to push the blame back to us? Can you get any more thick-skinned? Or is it you guys are just overbearing and domineering by nature, so everybody has grown stupid, thinking that only you can strike out at your targets but the targets cannot strike back?"

He stared at the cyclopean-giant cosmic form his mouth curved into a smile – but his smile carried a tinge of ferocity. "Let me tell you, I was absent during the battle atop Mount Kunlun last year. I was unable to personally teach you thieving bastards a lesson for messing with the Celestial Sect of Wonders, and I have been regretful about that fact ever since."

"I am here today, and I'm not in the mood to talk nonsense with you. If you wish to do that, please go find someone else."

Xiao Yan clenched his fists and pushed them out in front of his chest. "Today, I only wish to do one thing."

"Flatten your home!"

The golden tiger once again let loose a ear-splitting roar as it integrated itself into Xiao Yan's body. In the next moment, a sharp world-ending murderous aura exploded outwards.

That streak of violent and murderous aura sent chills down his adversary's spine, even though he was in the nascent soul advanced stage. "This kind of murderousness is not inferior to the Asura spells of the Huo Family!"

Xiao Yan glared directly at his opponent's cosmic form. He connected with his understanding of the world and of nature and unleashed the four legendary forms: the Jade Green Dragon, the Great White Tiger, the Blood Red Sparrow and the Genbu.

At this moment, it was the form of the Great White Tiger that was released. The meaning that it embodied was of intense contempt and condescension towards the entire world, and to kill all living things!

It was much unlike the Blood Red Sparrow Form that he used when he battled Tao Yaoyao a long time ago. The Xiao Yan of now was in the most powerful and offensive state.

The cyclopean giant cosmic form shot out a ray of blue light from its eye. Wherever its vision was directed towards, everything around was immediately transformed into black crystal and subsequently shattered into dust.

Xiao Yan was unafraid. The Great White Tiger Form of the Grand Sun Primordial Fire channeled uncountable rays of golden fire and clashed fiercely with the blue light ray head-on.

An aurous core advanced stage cultivator clashing head-on with a nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster's cosmic form!

The blue light clashed continuously with the golden flames. Some of the Grand Sun Primordial Fire was completely frozen over and sealed in ice, but parts of the blue light pillar were also explosively shattered by the golden flames.

Both parties were engaged in glorious battle. This alerted the other powerful individuals within Xiling City, and everybody came around to watch.

Some males dressed Northern tribesmen were part of the audience at the battlefield as well. They were from the Royal House of the Northern Tribes, and were accompanying the Prince Xian of the Right in a convoy mission to the Great Qin Empire. The Prince Xian of the Right was currently sitting inside the royal palace and was meeting up with the Qin Emperor. His status was naturally different from the others, and a part of his company were settled in the resting areas.

They watched the ferocious Xiao Yan and drew cold breaths at the same time. "He has the balls to clash with a nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster head-on… This Xiao Yan is really living up to his status as the eldest disciple under the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders!"

"Still, the cosmic form of a nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster is unbelievably powerful. If he continues along this path, he's going to end up in defeat."

While the audiences were discussing amongst themselves, Xiao Yan was being gradually frozen in place by the blue light pillar from the cyclopean giant.

However, he was completely unfazed. With a cold grunt, the golden tiger formed by the Grand Sun Primordial Fire disappeared into thin air. Immediately following, waves of blue-purple-colored flames poured out with a concept of power so violent and brutal that it seemed to consume heaven and earth. This particular side of the sky was tainted bluish-purple by the sinister and frightening flames of the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire.

The terrifying demonic fire transformed into the form of the Great White Tiger was a more fitting sight than before.

"Kill!" During Xiao Yan's exclamation, the Great White Tiger that was formed by the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire had already forcibly torn apart the blue light pillar, and was engaged in violent battle with its adversary.

At the same time, the Grand Sun Primordial Fire and the Nanming Primordial Fire both transformed into the form of the Great White Tiger, and all three fearsome tigers besieged the cyclopean giant with ferocious assaults.

Three legendary fire were unleashed at the same time. Even if it were a nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster from the Yu Family using his cosmic form to channel the Xuanming Primordial Water, he could not attain the upper hand.

"This guy can control three different primordial fires at the same time?"

Members of the Yu Family were astonished. "There are monsters within the Celestial Sect of Wonders. It's not just Shi Tianhao – Xiao Yan is equally fearsome. No, this cannot be allowed to continue. We shall eliminate him right here, today!"

The onlookers could not help. Two nascent soul stage cultivators planned to enter the fray and lend their pal a hand.

At this point, however, Xiao Yan was already in the kill zone. The three white tigers formed by three different primordial fires were already dominant and full of contempt and murderousness for everything else. Besides the nascent soul stage grandmaster, everybody else that they touched perished in an instant.

The cyclopean giant let out a loud roar. With one hand, it began to make a seal and the surrounding chilly aura was abruptly withdrawn.

Subsequently, the blue light from within the giant's eye dulled and ultimately disappeared altogether. However, the seal that it made surged towards Xiao Yan.

In the middle of its palm was a dark and pitch-black hole. It felt as if boundless icy winds and chilly air were about to seal the world in ice and revert everything back to the Ice Age.

The Cambrian Xuanming God-Imprisoning Seal!

It was the most potent and most powerful abhijna of the Yu Family's Mantra of Xuanming. It was something that could seal everything under the heavens in ice and send the entire world back to the barren and frozen tundra of the Ice Age.

Xiao Yan's expression was cold and indifferent. His placed his palms together and withdrew the white tigers formed by the Grand Sun Primordial Fire and the Nanming Primordial Fire. He speedily compressed both entities into two extremely dense spheres of flame, and proceeded to fuse them together.

His fingers were extremely nimble and agile, and mantra after mantra was cast into the ball of primordial fire in the center of his palm.

In the next moment, a golden lotus throne the size of his palm emerged from within. In the middle of the lotus throne, a red petal and a blue petal were faintly swaying in the wind.

The petrifying Heavenly Fire Lotus was now rising up to meet the Cambrian Xuanming God-Imprisoning Seal.

Intense heat clashed with extreme coldness. The void around it shattered into pieces, and the defense mechanism of Xiling City reacted with even greater force as it forcefully prevented the aftershocks of this battle to ripple outwards in order to protect Xiling City from collateral damage.

After the Heavenly Fire Lotus clashed with the Cambrian Xuanming God-Imprisoning Seal, it transformed into an endless sea of golden fire which extended outwards in all directions. Every ray of fire that met with the black ice crystals all around exploded violently upon contact!

Continuous explosions!

Never-ending explosions!

Millions and millions of flames exploded on an equal number of black ice crystals!

The icy aura immediately rolled backwards, much like rain clouds being scattered by the Sun. The black ice crystals that resembled a giant black hole began to shatter and collapse.

A great volume of chilly ice was evaporated by the heat from the intense flames, and enveloped the area surrounding the Yu Family residence in thick steam, resulting in a scene almost like a deathly fog befell the battleground!

The white fog scattered, and a gigantic shadow emerged from within the void.

When the throng of Yu Family disciples saw this shadow, a wave of relief passed over their faces as they recognized it to be the cosmic form of their elder grandmaster.

However, almost at the same time, the gigantic figure gradually began to kneel!

Chapter 522: This Is Just The Beginning!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The fog dissipated gradually as the cyclopean giant cosmic form knelt down outside the Yu Family residence.

The single arm that it used to cast the Cambrian Xuanming God-Imprisoning Seal was now completely inexistent – the arm just disappeared from its socket altogether.

Its body was also riddled with crack marks, much like the glaciers cracking open and was on the verge of shattering.

The smiles on the faces of the Yu Family members were just coming out when everybody's faces froze. They stared in shock at Xiao Yan, who stood arrogantly inside the fog.

The result of the battle that just transpired had a shocking result – the Yu Family's nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster had been defeated, and his cosmic form was on the verge of shattering into pieces!

A nascent soul advanced stage cultivator suffered defeat at the hands of an aurous core advanced stage cultivator!

It was not just the Yu Family members that were taken back in astonishment. The onlookers that witnessed the current situation all drew cold breaths at the result.

Inside the backyard of the Yu Family residence, an elderly man's face was pained and solemn as he crossed his legs in meditation inside a quiet room. His hands were drawing prints and seals.

The icy blue magic formation above the houses instantly released thousands of rays of blue light, and injected everything into the body of the cyclopean giant that was just about to collapse.

With the replenishment from the blue light, the injuries on the body of the cyclopean giant began to heal with amazing speed. Even the arm that broke off was being remade.

The single eye of the giant once again began to radiate with chilly light. Once again, the immemorial aura of icy winds and chilly air began to expand outwards, and this time with a vengeance.

Except this time, the cyclopean giant cosmic form did not dare to face Xiao Yan head-on anymore. It retreated within the magic formation, and attached its body closely to the magic formation to boost their powers symbiotically.

Uncountable glyphs and runes rose in the space around the magic formation and the cyclopean giant. Formidable streaks of mana rippled outwards as icy energy permeated the surroundings.

The nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster had already completely given up picking a single fight with Xiao Yan by himself. Instead, he started to channel the Defense Magic Formation of the Yu Family residence and made preparations to use the magic formation against Xiao Yan instead.

The magic formation drew upon the power of heaven and earth but had all kinds of limitations. For example, it was immobile and the set-up was extremely complicated. However, the power of the magic formation was absolutely superior in comparison to other spells of the same level of cultivation.

No matter which power was in question, their own mountain entrances were always erected to be the most solid and stable. They always had absolute geographical advantage on their own turf.

If one took the initiative to invade another's home ground, unless the invader's level of mastery was more superior by leaps and bounds then more often than not this 'invader' was going to get himself into some deep trouble.

The Yu Family was currently trying to make use of their defense magic formation spell and make use of all the geographical advantages possible to fight against Xiao Yan.

However, this embarrassed all of the Yu Family cultivators and they were already seething inside.

Apparently, they were given a serious hiding by an aurous core stage cultivator at their own doorstep. Furthermore, this was in spite of them having a nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster to anchor things. In the end, they had to withdraw behind closed doors and make use of their geographical advantage rather than fighting their opponent head-on. Whether they emerge victorious in the ensuing battle was no longer important as they were already humiliated.

Xiao Yan watched on and laughed as he raised an eyebrow. His eyes sparkled with an even stronger will to battle.

"Forget it. If I expend too much mana here, then I will have none left to attack the Yu Family ancestral grounds."

At this point, Xiao Yan slightly subdued the boiling blood in his veins. He chose not to clash with the magic formation in front of him head-on. "Leave the best for last."

He waved his hand and a reel appeared in his hands. In an instant, a frightening aura began to expand in all directions.

This aura was sealed within the reel and was hardly exposed at all. The aura that leaked out was extremely weak, but even though it was just a tiny amount it was terrifying enough.

Several streaks of consciousness rippled towards the battleground from somewhere inside Xiling City. It was apparent that some of the immortal soul stage powerhouses were notified and became wary of this new aura.

Xiao Yan did not open the reel, but simply directed the reel with his own mana to fly freely towards the Yu Family's magic formation.

In the next moment, every single onlooker watched on with widened eyes. The unopened reel drifted about in the sky above the Yu Family residence as it released cold and clear light. Every part of the magic formation that this clear light touched instantly shattered into pieces!

The cyclopean giant, which was integrated with the magic formation as one, was also severely injured. It had originally healed up, but it was once again shattering into pieces, much like a clay doll cracking apart on the ground.

The fact that the nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster was connected to the giant by soul and mind caused his own being to be damaged as well – almost like a lightning strike.

"This is a magic formation set up by the owner of the house – it's a magic formation set up by an immortal soul stage powerhouse!" This elderly grandmaster's face was completely pale by now, "That reel hasn't even been opened and it took apart the master's magic formation! How is that possible?"

"What is that reel? Is it gifted to Xiao Yan by the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders?"

In the same moment, Xiao Yan opened up his palms to the side and two streaks of intense flames immediately lit up.

The left half was flickering with golden light, and every ray of light from the flames felt like needle pricks to the eyes.

The right half was dark and gloomy, and the bluish-purple demonic flames seemed to have come from hell itself and had descended upon the earth to destroy it all.

Of the few primordial fires that Xiao Yan was now able to control, the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire and the Grand Sun Primordial Fire fused together to form Heavenly Fire Lotus, and this was also the pinnacle of the fusion of two primordial fires. However, due to the fact that the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire was too violent, the fusion of these two was comparatively much more difficult than the fusion of the Nanming Primordial Fire and the Grand Sun Primordial Fire.

Xiao Yan was almost at the stage where he could channel the Twin Fire Lotus formed from the Nanming Primordial Fire and the Grand Sun Primordial Fire at will and in an instant.

However, the twin fire lotus formed from the fusion of the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire and the Grand Sun Primordial Fire required a little more time for preparation. Furthermore, the rate of success was not even a hundred percent.

However, the reel had given him enough time to prepare. Xiao Yan channeled the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire and the Grand Sun Primordial Fire with ease and began to form the second Heavenly Fire Lotus.

Very quickly, a stalk of purple-golden lotus flower appeared in front of Xiao Yan. It exuded ripples of power that felt extremely violent and brutal power and was forcibly suppressed. The pressure it exerted on others was much greater than the first golden lotus flower.

Xiao Yan breathed out heavily and growled, "Destroy it!"

The purple-golden lotus flower began to crash down on the Yu Family Residence.

"Boom!"

Everywhere within sight was a fiery sea of purple-golden flames. Amongst the ear-splitting explosions, uncountable waves of intense fire erupted into the sky and transformed into pillars of fire that shot straight up into the sky.

The magic formation that had been breaking apart under the pressure from the reel had by now completely disintegrated. The cyclopean giant cosmic form was also burned into nothingness inside the raging flames.

The vast estate of the Yu Family residence was instantly swallowed by the flames. Innumerable buildings disappeared on the spot, having been directly liquified by the powerful flames.

The members of the Yu Family withdrew to the main residential pavilion in the deepest corner of the estate, and witnessed the dire sight with absolute hopelessness.

"Are all the people from the Celestial Sect of Wonders monsters like that? How can they be so powerful until this level? What are we dealing with here, exactly?"

"Why did our house master not return to Xiling City to take things into his own hands? He's an immortal soul stage powerhouse, and he will be a suitable anchor to this place. Why has he not returned home?"

"It's over, it's all over. The entire estate will be burned to the ground into nothingness. The Yu Family will be completely humiliated – we will become the laughingstock of the entire Xiling City!"

This was the capital of the Great Qin Empire. In normal days, if something as big as this happened inside the city, the Great Qin Empire was bound to interfere.

However, the Great Qin Empire seemed to become blind and deaf this time. Nothing was done as they allowed Xiao Yan to ravage the entire estate of the Yu Family. Besides preventing collateral damage from the battle, almost nothing was done to directly interfere.

The entire Yu Family company felt hopeless. The nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster's cosmic form was destroyed and wore an expression of humiliating defeat. He clenched his teeth as he said, "WE shall live to fight another day. As long as we're alive, vengeance shall be at hand! There will be one day the Celestial Sect of Wonders will pay for what they've done!"

"Let's get out of here!"

He channeled a secret spell that opened up a space tunnel that directly connected the Yu Family estate in Xiling City to their ancestral home, and directed everyone to retreat back to their ancestral grounds.

"Xiao Yan – we will settle this debt with you next time!"

The grand estate of the Yu Family residence was consumed by an ocean of fire and annihilated into a pile of rubble. It was pretty much wiped off from the face of the earth.

Xiao Yan hovered in the sky above the pillars of fire and listened to everyone's chitter-chatter before they left. He laughed coldly and said, "Debt? This is just the beginning."

"I did say it – I will flatten your family home today!"

He flew out of Xiling City in the western direction. The other cultivators inside the city exchanged looks with each other. "The west... Is that not the direction of the Yu Family ancestral grounds?"

The cultivators from the Royal House of the Northern Tribes were deep in discussion as well. "The Celestial Sect of Wonders is that powerful. A single aurous core advanced stage disciple flattered an entire estate that was anchored by a nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster?"

"Is the Celestial Sect of Wonders on a murderous rampage today?"

"But the Yu Family ancestral grounds are anchored by the Xuanming Holy Man, Yu Xintao himself. No matter how powerful Xiao Yan is, how can he match the Xuanming Holy Man?"

"If Xiao Yan is already like that, I cannot imagine how powerful his master must be. Even if Yu Xintao is present, how can he stop what's coming?"

At this moment, a male with bright clothes of foreign tribe origins appeared. His physical build and the aura he exhibited resembled the Sun – it was the Prince Xian of the Right.

"Come, let's go to the Yu Family ancestral grounds together." The Prince Xian of the Right continued to say as he took point and led the whole company, who followed behind him after acknowledging his instructions.

A flowing ray of light appeared from the imperial palace as well. It shot towards the western side of the city – its target was the Yu Family ancestral grounds.

However, in the eastern part of the Great Qin Empire lay the ancestral grounds of the Shi Family. A middle-aged man with a steely face and clad in black sat upright within the forbidden grounds of the Shi Family ancestral grounds. He sighed a little inside as his body disappeared on the spot.

He hurried towards the Yu Family ancestral grounds but was stopped by somebody in the void.

The Virtuous Zen Master placed his palms together and said quietly, "Master Shi, please stop."

This steely-faced middle-aged man was the leader of the Shi Family, Shi Wu. He stared at the Virtuous Zen Masterwith cold eyes and said, "So you have joined the Celestial Sect of Wonders, I see."

The Virtuous Zen Master smiled faintly and said, "I am grateful to the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders for taking me in. I have resided atop Mount Yujing for a long time, and so I should be doing something to help out."

Shi Wu replied, "You are an outsider. Now that you're in the fray, are you not afraid to accumulate bad karma and hindered your own personal path of cultivation?"

The Virtuous Zen Master chanted under his breath. "Have mercy on us, Buddha, and help all livings ascend. My trip here is for the precise goal of helping others achieve their ends. Even if I have hindered my own cultivations with this endeavor, it's no big deal. Karma, karma… It is a form of cultivation in itself."

Shi Wu pondered for a moment before letting out a heavy sigh. "The things that are happening can no longer be explained by one or two sentences. Any more speech will also be futile. I wish to travel to the Yu Family ancestral grounds now, and even if you want to stop me from going I don't think you have the ability to."

Shi Wu was in the second level of the immortal soul stage. He was at the cultivation of the virtual entity stage. He also brought out the family heirloom, also the anchoring magic treasure of the entire family, along with him in his current expedition.

Even if his opponent came from the Great Thunderclap Temple, Shi Wu was confident that he could defeat the Virtuous Zen Master, who was only in the first level of the immortal soul stage.

The Virtuous Zen Master smiled faintly and said, "Everything is within the calculations of the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Master Shi, you should just remain here and discuss the theories of life with me."

A sudden surge of mana rippled forth from his body and shocked Shi Wu momentarily. "What kind of magic treasure is he carrying? It's not of Buddhist origins – unless it's the magic treasure of the Celestial Sect of Wonders?"

Once he felt the ripples of strength, Shi Wu's face turned black instantly. He recognized his predicament and realized that he could no longer get to the Yu Family ancestral grounds in a short period of time

However, at this time, a youth clad in a tight purple suit and a black cape had arrived at the Yu Family ancestral grounds.

It was Xiao Yan.

Chapter 523: The Yu Family Ancestral Grounds

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Yu Family Ancestral Grounds was actually a vast blue lake.

The surface of the lake was shimmering with blue light and multiple rays of light reflected off the shiny surface. The area above the surface of the lake layered together to form a gigantic magic formation, and above the magic formation floated a block of residential houses.

This block of residential houses was even grander than the residential estate inside Xiling City, and the surface area was even bigger.

Every single building was a pitch-black color and was even slightly translucent. Every building shimmered with gloomy light, as if they were built from black ice crystals. If one paid attention to the details, chilly air could be seen flowing out from the structures.

The lake below the vast residence was a deep blue. The currents and waves were calm - a little too calm, in fact, until it appeared as if the entire lake was frozen in place in solid form.

A gust of wind blew across, but not a single drop rippled on the surface of the lake. The entire lake was just like a gargantuan blue-colored ice crystal.

Upon closer scrutiny, one could tell that this was a 'dead' lake – there was not a single living thing inside.

The black residential houses fixated halfway in the air, juxtaposed with the deep blue lake below, were integrated as one body and exuded a kind of ancient aura. It was like a giant door, and on the other side were immemorial barren lands, an era where all things living and non-living were still sealed in ice.

Xiao Yan stood beside the lake calmly as he watched the gigantic residential estate hovering in midair.

Behind him in the void, a giant shadow shimmered in and out of sight. It was the Physical Spell Body bestowed upon him by Lin Feng.

Previously at Xiling City, before all the action started, Xiao Yan had already sent out the Physical Spell Body. This being drifted around in the void and intercepted the house master of the Yu Family, Yu Xintao, also known as the Xuanming Holy Man, who was on his way back after learning of the dire news.

Yu Xintao had no choice but to return to the Yu Family ancestral ground. Lin Feng did not pursue his quarry and assigned the Physical Spell Body hide between heaven and earth as he watched in silence as Xiao Yan decimated the Yu Family residence inside Xiling City.

His disciples were getting stronger and stronger. There were gradually more and more things that did not require Lin Feng to execute himself. He could simply sit back, relax, and watch on as his disciples wracked havoc upon the world.

He just had to keep watch in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

The people inside the Yu Family ancestral ground were aware very early on that their residence inside Xiling City was under attack. They wanted to head over to provide support, but were ordered by Yu Xintao to stand down.

Even though Yu Xintao did not make himself very clear, everybody knew that somebody was in the way and prevented them from heading towards Xiling City.

Therefore, at this point, everybody within the Yu Family ancestral ground were in a state of uproar. The younger generation of Yu Family disciples descended into a disorganized chaos as they shared a collective anger and fury.

The more senior cultivators of the Yu Family all had heavily furrowed brows. When they discovered that, besides the fact that Xiao Yan had completely flattened their residence inside Xiling, he was actually here at the Yu Family ancestral ground, everybody flared in indignation.

"The leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders can't possibly believe that one disciple can cause trouble at the Yu Family ancestral ground? That's crazy and outrageous!"

"Murder him right now. If not, the Yu Family will no longer have any place in the Divine Lands."

One of the more patient and experienced seniors voiced out his concerns. "The key is not Xiao Yan, but the mastermind behind everything – the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders! That's an individual so powerful that even our house master is unable to handle him. He is the real culprit for the state that the Yu Family is in today."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

That man replied, "We should capture Xiao Yan but keep him alive. We shall use him as a hostage so that the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders will think twice about causing use trouble. We just need time – the Man of Polycoria has already officially joined the Great Void Sect, and is also heavily favored by then. The Great Void Sect will not ignore our predicament. Once they are here, then we will have a chance to settle our debts with the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

"They can be as outrageous and violent as they want – but they are still no match for the number one holy ground in the divine lands!"

Everybody nodded their heads in agreement. "That is correct. The Original Satanic Sect, the Heaven's Gate Sect, the Samsara Sect and even the Great Thunderclap Temple were all once unprecedented powers of their era that dominated everybody else. However, in the end, every single one of them crumbled into collapse and disappeared."

"Only the Great Void Sect, the number one holy ground in the Divine Lands, has existed for eternity and shall never fall!"

Outside the ancestral ground, Xiao Yan was calm. He could feel the exploding auras of mana coming from within, and flashed a faint smile.

"You ignorant child – don't you think this is too much? Let me teach you a lesson about how big the world is. You think you can launch an assault on our ancestral ground by yourself?" An old and raspy voice resonated across the sky.

Xiao Yan chuckled. With his current level of mastery, flattening the Yu Family residence inside Xiling City was still achievable. However, doing the same to the Yu Family ancestral ground could not yet be done by himself.

However, he had arrived with preparations, and immediately opened his stride towards the Yu Family ancestral ground without any hestitation.

"To the Yu Family: My Little Junior, Shi Tianhao was harmed by his brethren Shi Tianyi all those years ago, and he lost his Natural Supreme Tao Foundatio to that thieving boy. After which, when Tianhao's parents brought him out of Xiling city, it was you lot who tried to run them down and destroy them all."

Xiao Yan's body flew up into the air as he stepped on the void with a steady pace.

"Tianhao is lucky to be alive, and fate would have it that my master accepted him into the sect and raised him to become a man. However, even now you could let him go and tried to murder him time and time again."

"Tianhao's parents became trapped in the Void Battleground and the three of them were physically separated. Not long ago, his parents managed to escape the Void Battleground and finally returned to the Greater World. They were about to enjoy a happy family reunion, but hopes for this gathering were dashed by you sadistic and evil bastards who sought to murder the couple. Ultimately, they were forced to return to the Void Battleground." Xiao Yan continued coldly, "Is it because you think you have the support of the Great Void Sect, that's why everyone is so whimsical and unafraid of consequence?"

"That is as wrong as wrong can get. Today I will tell you that the evilest in the world will always be accounted for by heaven!"

"If heaven is unwilling to account for it, then the Celestial Sect of wonders will do it!"

Behind Xiao Yan''s came loud crackling sounds as four giant flaming wings flared out. They seemed to eclipse the sun with their size, much like a never-ending sea of fire.

The four flaming wings extended outwards, with two on each side of his body.

There were two wings extending from the top of his shoulders. The one of the left was a milky-white Pure Yang Primordial Fire, and the one on the left was the blueish-purple Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire.

Below his waist were the other two remaining wings. The one on the left was the pure-golden Grand Sun Primordial Fire, while the one on the right was the Nanming Primoridal Fire that was flickering with blue radiance.

Compared with the six flaming wings of before that comprised of only three different types of primordial fires, the numbers were now smaller. However, the size of each wing was much larger, and the aura that the four primordial fires created together was enough to petrify any cultivator below the immortal soul stage.

Another sound rang out from within the Yu Family ancestral ground. However, it was not that elderly man this time – it was the house master of the family, the Xuanming Holy Man Yu Xintao.

"Your name is Xiao Yan, is it not? Truly an impressive figure. I don't think that even Shi Tianhao cannot compare to you."

"However, no matter how talented the prodigy, only once this person's grown up can he or she become an unprecedented legend of world. If this person met his demise in the early days, then this person is nothing at all but a pile of dust."

Following his statement, everywhere for miles and miles entered a state of utter silence, as if everything descended into an eternal icy seal.

The lake beneath the Yu Family ancestral ground lit up with brilliant radiance as countless complex runes and hieroglyphs began to congregate into a gigantic magic formation. The surface area of this magic formation was so great that it covered the entire lake, and under the reflection from the magic formation, the Yu Family ancestral ground resembled a fairytale palace that existed in the heavens.

The sky all around began to darken. It was not murky clouds that covered the sky, however, instead it was the intense chilly aura that permeated everything. First, it froze the sound it came into contact with, and immediately after even the light rays began to freeze.

Everything with life was frozen in place. Even the lifeless mountains and stones were also frozen.

All beings with material form were frozen. Even the formless entities such as sound and light between time and space were also imprisoned in ice.

Close to where the chilly energy extended to, the void behind Xiao Yan's back began to shake as a giant shadow of over two thousand feet tall emerged from within.

This giant's clothing drifted about in the air. He had wide sleeves, and its physical appearance was exactly the same as Lin Feng. Even the features of his face and everything else on his body were also the same as Lin Feng. The only thing was that, whether it was the clothes he was wearing or his skin, were also formed by brilliant rays of golden flame.

A sun-like hieroglyph appeared on his forehead, and it seemed as if it was continuously blazing.

The giant stepped on the void, and it had an aura like the Sun in midday and attracted the vision of all living things all around. It was Lin Feng's Great Heaven Flaming Emperor Spell Body.

A crystal-like droplet appeared in the sky. At first sight, it seemed miniscule and it was obscure to the naked eye.

However, upon closer scrutiny, one could see that this droplet eclipsed the sky. It was so vast that calculating its area was impossible. It felt as if Heaven and Earth were also frozen within this crystal-like droplet.

The Xuanming Holy Man, Yu Xintao's voice appeared from within the droplet. "The Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders: You may have impressive abhijnas, but do not forget where you are."

"You intercepted my expedition to Xiling City and it was inconvenient for me to destroy that spell body of yours. But now, we are at the Yu Family ancestral ground, and over here your puny spell body will have no space for activation at all."

Yu Xintao's words were not wrong. The Yu Family ancestral ground was the family foundation, and had been worked on and developed for an indefinitely long period of time by all the generations of ancestors. It could not be compared to the residence at Xiling City, which was far inferior.

In this place, Yu Xintao's powers were greatly increased. Even if his adversary was more powerful than he was originally, he was still able to put up a fight in this place.

It was much like the Supreme Radiance Swordmaster anchoring down Xingyun Peak and the Heavenly Wind Holy Man anchoring down the Holy Wind Mountain.

The Heavenly Wind Holy Man was only in the first level of the immortal soul stage. When he channeled the peak-condition Nine Heavens Squall Formation, not even the Undying Demon Soul Second Level, Original True Spirit stage Golden Crow Grand Sage could do anything to him.

This was the geographical advantage. A force of the world, after much refining and development, would have an ancestral ground with a defense mechanism of extremely formidable power.

Even if Lin Feng was here himself, or if he crashed down with Mount Yujing, Yu Xintao would still be a little unconfident. However, he was only faced with Lin Feng's Great Heaven Flaming Emperor spell body at this moment. He had sufficient confidence that he could repel the assault.

Originally, with his first level immortal soul stage level of cultivation, channeling the power of the Metaplasia-level family heirloom and the anchoring magic treasure Theorem of Xuanming would be quite the challenge. He would probably only be able to unleash the Gestation-level power.

However, at the Yu Family ancestral grounds, he had the opportunity to channel the peak power of the Theorem of Xuanming in an extremely short period of time.

The fact that his family members had pursued and besieged Shi Tianhao's parents was originally completely unbeknownst to him. However, after he found out about it, his initial reactionary plan was to contact the others.

If they could hold out long enough, Yu Xintao was confident that things would turn around in their favor.

The Great Heaven Flaming Emperor spell body's features and everything else were exactly the same as Lin Feng. The two-thousand-feet-tall giant stood erect in the void, and faced off Yu Xintao calmly. He opened his mouth and said plainly, "I always honor my word."

"When I said that I will flatten your home today, then I will definitely do it."

When Xiao Yan, who was standing below the Great Heaven Flaming Emperorspell body, heard what Lin Feng said he let loose a loud laugh, raised his right hand and flashed the reel that Lin Feng gifted to him previously.

The cultivators that escaped from the Xiling City residence into the ancestral ground immediately recognized this scene and all lost their cool as expressions of fear appeared all around. Back in Xiling City, Xiao Yan used this reel to defeat the Defense Magic Formation of the Yu Family's Xiling City residence.

What made them even more frightened was that, this time, Xiao Yan not only flashed the reel – he had unrolled it completely.

Chapter 524: Eradicate The Yu Family

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Xiao Yan unrolled the reel completely, and a petrifying concept of power flowed out from within and permeated the surroundings.

Whatever the aura touched, Yu Xintao and the ancestral ground's defense magic formation began to unravel and dissipate.

It was an aura charged with an intense calamitous energy. It felt as if this aura was bound to destroy the destinies of all beings and had only one thing it wished to achieve – eradicate all beings!

It was Lin Feng's Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi!

When the Heaven-Destroying sword was unleashed, all beings under the sky would perish.

A sword that was normal-looking, but in reality, it was something that could determine the fates of all things, surged out from the reel. Whatever that the sword Qi touched, the space all around immediately disintegrated into nothingness and ceased to exist.

The acuteness of the sword Qi split open the defense magic formation of the Yu Family's ancestral ground like it was simply cutting paper.

Deep inside the Yu Family ancestral ground was an ancient structure – it was the Yu Family's ancestral altar, and it erupted with blinding blue light at this point. It bled its resources dry as it tried its best to sustain the defense magic formation to resist the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi.

Within the ancestral grounds, the entire gang of Yu Family cultivators, no matter the level of cultivation, began to channel their own power to sustain the magic formation.

The giant lake below the residence had already completely transformed into a gargantuan ice crystal. It was much like a glacier, and the tremendous amounts of spiritual energy stored within it began flowing through the Yu Family's altar. Light continued to flicker above the alter as ancient energies leaked out and innumerable hieroglyphs and runes came into vision.

Light shadows stood upright in the void above the alter, one after another. It was the spiritual willpower of the predecessors of the Yu Family, who had come together to direct the Xuanming Formation to resist the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi.

The only problem was that the overbearing the domineering sword Qi continued to press forward. It continued to shatter the blanketing blue light as it slowly progressed towards the Yu Family Ancestral Altar.

Wherever the sword Qi passed over, the ancient black structures within the Yu Family ancestral ground that resembled Black Ice Crystals shattered into a million pieces and crumbled into dust.

Yu Xintao wanted to provide support for the dire circumstance they were now facing. However, Lin Feng's Great Heaven Flaming Emperor spell body was already upon him. Violent heat waves evaporated the icy air all around in an instant.

Due to the fact that the Xuanming Formation was suppressed by the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi, the energy and power that Yu Xintao drew from the magic formation plummeted. He could feel his own heart sinking as he could only forcefully rely on the Theorem of Xuanming to handle the Great Heaven Flaming Emperor spell body.

Even though there he was still channeling the power of the ancestral defense magic formation, to intercept the Great Heaven Flaming Emperor, Yu Xintao had to exhibit his immortal soul avatar. He had to focus and commit all his energy into the endeavor and could no longer care about anything else.

The four fiery wings flapped together and he flew towards the Yu Family Ancestral Ground.

"The people responsible for attempting to murder my little junior, as well as those who besieged and tried to murder his parents – step out, be accountable for your actions."

Within the ancestral compound, a nascent soul stage grandmaster growled, "The Man Of Polycoria has already entered the wing of the Great Void Sect, and has also become a core disciple as well. This means that the Great Void Sect has accepted his existence, and they have also accepted what happened that fateful day!"

"The Celestial Sects of Wonders is so overbearing – do you really think that nobody can handle you?"

"The Man Of Polycoria is like a God descending upon the Earth. He shall become a legend that will go on for millennia and he shall be unstoppable. This is his fate – as for Shi Tianhao of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, he also has a part to play in this destiny. He will be the sacrifice for the legend of the Man Of Polycoria!"

"The Great void Sect will come, and the Man Of Polycoriawill rise. That day will be the day of your submission!"

Xiao Yan replied coldly, "My little junior was born superior to all. Shi Tianyi is but a conniving and thieving little shit. You lot are the same – all thieves and whatnot. If you allow me to speak my piece, Shi Tianyi should relinquish the polycorian eyes and given back to my little junior."

"However…" The corner of Xiao Yan's mouth curled into a smile. However, no matter how one perceived it, there was a tinge of brutality about it. "But my little junior may not even deem those eyes worthy."

The group of nascent soul stage grandmasters all began to shout and curse. "Capture him! Capture this Xiao Yan – this is the only way to make the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders wary, the only way to make him retreat from this place."

"The Xuanming Formation is falling apart. We have to capture Xiao Yan. Get him!"

There were initially four nascent soul advanced stage grandmasters in the Yu Family. One of them perished at Mount Kunlun, and the another's cosmic form was ruined by Xiao Yan back at Xiling City. His power was thus greatly reduced, and the two remaining nascent soul advanced stage grandmasters rushed out to meet Xiao Yan.

The two of them flashed their cosmic forms at once and lunged at Xiao Yan.

There were other nascent soul stage powerhouses that came together to attack Xiao Yan at the same time. The nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster whose cosmic form was destroyed by Xiao Yan did not participate in the attack, but he glared at Xiao Yan with intense hatred.

He made a print with his palms and exclaimed, "Reveal yourself, my precious!"

A long mystical bow flew out from within the Yu Family Ancestral Ground. It's whole body was completely black and arrogant power with traces of contempt for the world emerged from within. A single thought rang out. "Die, ignorant child!"

It was a gestation-level magic treasure, the Xuanming Bow!

Of the more recent millennium of the Yu Family's development, there had been multiple talented individuals and prodigies that came and went. Even though they ended up a little worse off today, they still had sufficient back-up and besides the Metaplasia-level magic treasure, the Theorem of Xuanming, which anchored the family, there was also the gestation-level magic treasure, the Xuanming Bow.

The Xuanming Bow opened up in the air and drew itself halfway. Vast amounts of Xuanming Primordial Water condensed into six black arrows. They were deathly cold and black to the core, and their tips were pointed straight at Xiao Yan.

The Yu Family was all-in on this one. Besides their house master, Yu Xintao, who was being held up by the Great Heaven Flaming Emperor spell body, every single powerhouse in the family rose up to besiege Xiao Yan.

The three nascent soul advanced stage grandmasters led the pack and began to channel magic treasures. The other nascent soul stage grandmasters helped out – everybody's sole aim was to capture Xiao Yan of the aurous core advanced stage.

They did not want to murder him. Instead, they wanted to capture him alive. It was only through this way that they could have something to negotiate with Lin Feng and delay everything long enough for somebody to come to their rescue.

Furthermore, they only had this one chance to achieve their target. If the Great Heaven Flaming Emperor managed to shake off Yu Xintao and came forward to protect Xiao Yan, then their opportunity would no longer be existent.

This was way they decided to go all-in with this attack!

Xiao Yan was completely unafraid. He tapped the middle of his brows with his left hand and repeated the same words. "Reveal yourself, my precious."

Red and yellow-colored lights sparkled as a black armor showed itself in front of everyone. Between the flickering of golden light, flames jumped around and a dense and domineering aura permeated outwards. They became cloud-like structures and they dominated everything around it – it was Lin Feng's Flaming Dragon Celestial Armor.

Whether it was the Flaming Dragon Celestial Armor or the Xuanming Bow, both items were not in the hands of immortal soul stage cultivators. Therefore, neither magic treasure could be unleashed to its maximum power. Still, even though that was the case, they still possessed immense power.

Previously, before the Flaming Dragon Celestial Armor was not yet a proper magic treasure, its mixed fake power with the real one as a form of illusion. Now that Lin Feng managed to refine it into a real magic item, while it was still 'young', it was unafraid of the ancient Xuanming Bow.

Every part of Xiao Yan's body was covered by the Flaming Dragon Celestial Armor. He let loose a loud howl that resembled that of a dragon roar. Whether it was or the Flaming Dragon Celestial Armor per se, both had standards of power that far exceeded what they possessed back atop Xingyun Peak.

The six black ice arrows were released and they shot towards Xiao Yan. Two dragon silhouettes, one red and one yellow, shimmered around the Flaming Dragon Celestial Armor and blocked the incoming attack and forcefully clashed with the ice arrow attack.

The six black ice arrows were repelled immediately. Some fell onto the ground, and when that happened everything within an area of a few kilometers became black-colored glaciers. The power of the cold was terrifying.

With the Flaming Dragon Celestial Armor's protection, Xiao Yan's eyes began too flicker with fire. He extended his arms out – in his left hand was the Grand Sun Primordial Fire, and in his right was the Nanming Primordial Fire as they appeared at the same time.

AT the same time, inside the void between the Grand Sun Primordial Fire and the Nanming Primordial Fire, spheres of milky-white flames danced about – it was the Pure Yang Primordial Fire.

Three types of primordial fires fused together and unleashed a violent and uncontrollable force of destructiveness.

The void all around Xiao Yan had already begun to twist and break apart as the violent energies petrified everybody that bore witness to the scene before them.

A myriad of hieroglyphs and runes were cast by Xiao Yan into the flames, and after a long while, the raging flames finally completely died down. What was left a golden-yellow lotus flower with tinges of white within it. There were two red and blue petals that swayed in the wind.

Xiao Yan pushed his hands forward and the three fires fused together at once. The force was immense, as the unprecedented power of the Heavenly Fire Lotus crashed forward at the throng of Yu Family members.

Heaven and earth lit up in that instant, but was deathly silent at the same time. It felt as if an eternity had passed before ear-splitting explosions rang out.

The ice crystal-like lake beneath suddenly had a large crater I the middle.

The Yu Family cultivators wanted so much to avoid the attack, but they were unable to escape the roaring flames of the sea of fire. The two nascent soul advanced stage grandmasters' cosmic forms were blown to pieces, and even their own physical body and soul were reduced to dust!

Everybody that tried to attack Xiao Yan, whoever that was near him at that point in time were all consumed by the fearsome flames!

The ferocity of the Tri Fire Lotus was almost world-ending.

However, what made Yu Xintao and the remaining cultivators of the Yu Family even more afraid was the fact that the frightening Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi had completely broken apart the Xuanming Formation and was not slashing down on the Yu Family Ancestral Altar.

The light illusions of the Yu Family ancestors dissipated into nothingness. Vast amounts of Xuanming Primordial Water were consumed and destroyed. The originally ancient and plain but grandiose and formidable altar was not sliced into half!

In the sky far beyond the horizon, a few shadows appeared. The person taking point was Prince Anliang, Shi Zongyue. His expression was solemn as he took in the destruction of the Yu Family Ancestral Ground. Everything was already reduced to a pile of rubble as he stood there in silence.

The Gambling Holy Man, Zhuge Guang was behind him, along with the Stellar Holy Man. There were a few other nascent soul stage powerhouses of the Great Qin Empire as well.

Everybody was frowning. They took in what was before them as emotions came and went. "The Yu Family is almost completely done for."

Even though Yu Xintao, who at the first level immortal soul stage, was still resisting, he could not change the fact that the Yu Family would never be able to rise again.

The ancestral ground had been destroyed, and the nascent soul elders in the family were either all dead or heavily injured. The higher level of combatants was almost entirely eradicated.

The backbone of a power with vast influence was completely shattered just like that.

Lin Feng did not even show his own face. He only let one of his disciples of the aurous core advanced stage, along with one of his physical spell bodies and a magic item as well as his reel of sword Qi and pretty much flattened the entire estate of the Yu Family.

At this point, the Stellar Holy Man could no longer smile at all. His voice was deep and solemn as he said, "I have never seen the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders with such ferocity. This cannot be compared to the opening ceremony battle outside Shazhou City, and neither can it be compared to the battle of Mount Kunlun afterwards. It cannot even be compared to what happened inside Cloud Forest World."

"The Xuanming Formation of the Yu Family ancestral ground, while it's not as mobile as the Nine Heavenly Squall Formation of the Aeolus Sect, but when it's coupled with the geographical advantage of this place, its power should not be inferior by much. The leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders defeated it with a single strike – why did he not do so back in the battle of Mount Kunlun?"

The Gambling Holy Man, Zhuge Guang replied, "A year ago, even if the duration of time spent on cultivation and meditation was multiplied by a hundred or a thousand times even, the difference in power cannot be so vast. The only possibility is that the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders that we saw a year ago was only one of his avatars – his original body has yet to show itself."

"Maybe he is shutting himself in, or maybe he's out travelling, or perhaps he's being tied down by something at hand. But that's unimportant, what's important is…"

Prince Anliang Shi Zongyue continued the sentence for him. "What's important is that since the defeat of the Six Mountains Celestial Sword Formation atop Heavenly Cart Peak that day, he has finally shown his original self."

"The Great Void Sect is going to have a headache now." Shi Zongyue turned his gaze towards the other side of the horizon. "Still, the Celestial Sect of Wonders should not be celebrating too early. If the powers of influential families are so easily destroyed, the Great Qin Empire would have done it long ago."

"Once it's begun, it has to be done wholeheartedly."

Over on the other side of the sky, parts of the void trembled as streaks of white clouds floated into view.

"The Great Void Sect… They're finally here…"

Chapter 525: The Great Void Sect Steps In!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

With the Prince Xian of the Right taking point, a troupe of cultivators from the Royal House of the Northern Tribes were also watching the battlefield at the Yu Family's ancestral ground.

"If the other disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders possessed similar battle prowess like Xiao Yan, that will truly be frightening." One youthful male remarked. "When they form the nascent soul, then everybody below the immortal soul stage will be no match for them."

Someone grunted in response and said unhappily, "When they were in the aurous core beginner stage, were they already unrivalled by anybody below the nascent soul stage?"

The Prince Xian of the Right remained silent this whole time. His gaze was simply trained at the formidable and explosive force from the Heavenly Fire Lotus formed from the fusion of three different primordial fires.

All this time, whether it was the Yu Family or the Great Qin Empire or even the Royal House of the Northern Tribes, everybody in the Divine Lands had a common consensus.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders was extremely powerful. The leader, Lin Feng, had unimaginable power that had not been accurately gauged to this date. His direct disciples Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao and the others were all extraordinary prodigies. Every single one of them were more talented than everybody else, and they were all the same no matter who one picked out from the bunch.

However, due to the fact that their backgrounds were weak, the formation of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was actually quite awkward. The structure of the sect was something thick on both ends but thinned out in the middle.

Even after the Heavenly Cart Peak Sword Conference, the other powers continued to think so.

Lin Feng, the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, was extremely powerful, and could be ranked amongst the other giants of the era such as Yan Nanlai and Xin Longsheng.

His disciples were also reputed to be unrivaled by anybody of the same level of cultivation. They were also known to be able to leap an entire level – aurous core stage cultivators were able to defeat and eliminate nascent soul stage cultivators.

However, across the entire sect, besides Lin Feng himself, the only other immortal soul stage cultivator was Virtuous Zen Master, a direct descendent of the Great Thunderclap Temple of old. And even then, he only held an honorary status within the sect. Besides him, there were no other immortal soul stage powerhouses, and even the nascent soul stage cultivators were few and far between.

There was nothing to be said about the Great Void Sect and the Mount Shu Sword Sect. Compared to these holy grounds, the Celestial Sect of Wonders seemed a little skinny. Even if they were comparing with the Royal House of the Northern Tribes, the Heavenly Lake Sect or the Heavenly Master Sword Sect, every sect had more than one immortal soul stage powerhouse anchoring things down.

It could be said that if Lin Feng was excluded from the count, the power and influence of the Celestial Sect of Wonders could not really be considered extremely impressive.

This was the reason why everybody conceded Lin Feng's position as a giant of his era. However, they held different perceptions about his sect. They still saw the Celestial Sect of Wonders as a newborn power, and were still not in the same league as the Great Void Sect or the Mount Shu Sword Sect.

Only after a period of time, somewhere in the future when Xiao Yan and the others grew up could the status of the Celestial Sect of Wonders be recognized as a new holy ground.

The old saying was good: "Only prodigies that are alive can be considered prodigies." If one did not convert one's own potential into true power and standards, then the potential that one possessed could be considered nothing more than castles in the sky.

However, after everybody witnessed Xiao Yan and his devastation of the Yu Family residence and the explosion of the Tri Fire Lotus that killed a group of Yu Family nascent soul stage elders, they felt as if they had finally awakened from a dream and were as astonished as they could be.

It was apparent that the descendants of the Celestial Sect of Wonders had already grown to such a frightening stage.

Everybody knew that when Xiao Yan and the others grew up and matured, with the current level of potential they were displaying, the power of the Celestial Sect of Wonders would continue to grow explosively and skyrocket.

What they did not expect was that this day had already arrived, and they never thought it would come this quickly!

The visions of the cultivators from the Royal House of the Northern Tribes turned towards the battle between Yu Xintao and the Great Heaven Flaming Emperor spell body. They thought about the fact that Lin Feng himself never once did show up at the scene, and everybody heaved heavy sighs inside in recognition of the fact.

A great power, a great sect and a great family of cultivators. If they did not have an immortal soul stage powerhouse anchoring down the group, anybody from Lin Feng's group of disciples could have flattened them.

Even if the Yu Family had Yu Xintao anchoring the group, along with the Theorem Of Xuanming as well as the Xuanming Bow, they were on the verge of complete defeat at this point.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders were, on the contrary, on the verge of ascending to become a true force to be reckoned with.

Above the ancestral ground, Yu Xintao was infuriated as he witnessed his family altar cleaved into two by Lin Feng's Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi and he exclaimed in anger, "Lin Feng!"

The Great Xuanming Formation lay in complete ruin. He could feel that the energy that he channeled from the formation into his own body was about to dissipate entirely.

Yu Xintao finally displayed his immortal soul avatar, a giant figure that resembled black ice crystals and channeled the Theorem Of Xuanming as he flexed his powers to the maximum.

A figure appeared from within the Theorem Of Xuanming. He was an old man clad in black, with beards and hair that were completely blue. It was the Original Soul of the Theorem of Xuanming, and it was also trying its best to channel the Xuanming Primordial Water.

Horizon-less oceans of Xuanming Primordial Water circled around in the sky before lunging down towards the Great Heaven Flaming Emperor spell body.

Layers of black ice crept up the body of the Great Heaven Flaming Emperor. This giant that was formed from the Grand Sun Primordial Fire was also frozen in place by this extreme cold and was immediately transformed into a ice status over two thousand feet tall.

Inside the layers of black ice, the Great Heaven Flaming Emperor was still full of vigor and life.

Yu Xintao wanted to retreat and withdraw after achieving a measure of success with that move. While he was clearly upset that the Yu Family was completely devastated, his brain had not been addled by the flames. He knew that this was only Lin Feng's Physical Spell Body, and even if he destroyed the Great Heaven Flaming Emperor, there was nothing else to it.

The only problem was that it was not so easy to escape.

Within the layers of ice, the Great Heaven Flaming Emperor suddenly flashed a radiant smile. Just with that movement of his lips, the layers of black ice immediately began to shatter into pieces.

In the next moment, the layers of ice broke off completely and the Great Heaven Flaming Emperor burst out from within. Brilliant light exploded from its body as a sphere of blinding light gathered in its palm. It transformed into something like a tiny Sun and rose into the sky as its radiance permeated the entire area for miles and miles all around.

Subsequently, this tiny sun was suddenly extinguished and simply disappeared into nothingness.

However, the energy that was released was even more frightening.

Fist of the Great Heavenly Sun, the Change of the Eclipse!

The boundless power of the Grand Sun Primordial Fire was fueled and explosively charged in that one strike as it struck upon the black ice crystal avatar that Yu Xintao transformed into!

Ice and Fire once again clashed violently between Heaven and Earth.

The sky was pouring with what felt like a black and icy rain as Yu Xintao's immortal soul avatar cracked apart piece by piece!

"NO!" The elderly figure with a head full of blue hair roared out loud. Under the brutal assault of the Great Heaven Flaming Emperor, it too shattered and was reduced to nothing!

The Metaplasia-level magic treasure, the Theorem of Xuanming's original soul was completely destroyed with just one punch!

It was a pity that Yu Xintao was only in the first level of the immortal soul stage, so the magic item was not unleashed to its fullest potential. The fact that it was destroyed by Lin Feng before that could happen was extremely regrettable.

Yu Xintao was infuriated. If not for the fact that the Theorem Of Xuanming took the hit for him, he would have been murdered by the Great Heaven Flaming Emperor 's powerful strike.

Right at this time, the sky across the horizon trembled continuously and streaks of white clouds streamed out.

The clouds rolled in the sky as the energy in the sky condensed into material form. Layers of the void encircled the newformed entity and materialized into the shape of a middle-aged man. He wore a robe with a single white cloud etched upon it.

This middle-aged man looked extremely normal. The only thing that attracted people's attentions was his eyes – it was full of passion and emotion, as if it embodied all the world's expressions and feelings.

He seemed like he was at the edge of the world, but he supported Yu Xintao's immortal soul stage body with just one hand. He retracted it afterwards, leapt across the space in between and brought Yu Xintao out of the Great Heaven Flaming Emperor 's scope of attack.

It was simple action that seemed extremely easy and casual, as if he was just reaching out to collect something.

Yet, when Shi Zongyue, the Stellar Holy Man and the Prince Xian of the Right perceived this they felt a chill run down their spines.

It was way too casual. It was so casual to the point that Lin Feng and the Great Heaven Flaming Emperor spell body had no chance to respond.

Whether you agree to it or not did not matter – I had already completed the task.

The casualness was tinged with a deliberate display of immense power as well as self-confidence and a little bit of arrogance.

Lin Feng's Great Heaven Flaming Emperor spell body stood upright between heaven and earth and stared calmly at the middle-aged man that just arrived on scene. "The Xuanlin Holy Man – it's been a long time."

The newcomer was the Xuanlin Holy Man – he was a member of the Great Void Sect's Supreme Elder Council, was a third level immortal soul stage powerhouse, also known as the Way of the Virtual Entity Stage.

The Xuanlin Holy Man saved Yu Xintao before looking down at the pile of rubble that used to be the ancestral grounds of the Yu Family. Emotions flickered in his eyes as he said, "Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders – you have gone too far this time."

Lin Feng's expression was as casual as ever. "A year ago, during the battle of Mount Kunlun, Yu Xintao managed to escape with his life. I recognized his efforts in cultivation and decided not to pursue the matter – this was an act of generosity and mercy."

"But now, the Yu Family has plotted to kill the relatives of one of my disciples. Do they think that I'm a push-over? What goes around, comes around. The Xuanlin Holy Man's accusations about me are quite unreasonable."

The Xuanlin Holy Man's brows furrowed into a frown. "Yu Xintao has already explained this matter to me. That was task of the inner circle of the Shi Family – Yu Xintao and his family members were simply helping out."

"The family matters of the Shi Family should have been resolved independently."

Lin Feng glanced at the Xuanlin Holy Man before turning towards the people behind him. Two other Great Void Sect cultivators stepped out slowly from within the void.

One was female, who was rather good-looking and wore a peaceful expression. She was in the immortal soul second stage, also known as the cultivation of the Virtual Entity stage.

The other person was a familiar young man. He had sharp and handsome features and wore a sparkling clean white robe. The aura coming from his body was casual and light and did not carry a single trace of sharpness. He was like a gust of calm wind and a small spiritual fountain.

He was the person that was just recently forcefully retired as the All-Under-Heavens Strider of the Great Void Sect at the battle of Shazhou City, Pang Jie.

The aura all around his body was now one with Heaven and Earth. He was, to Lin Feng's surprise, already in the immortal soul stage.

After Yan Mingyue ascended to the Immortal Soul Stage, Pang Jie followed along and also formed the immortal soul.

He followed behind the Xuanming Holy Man along with the other female cultivator, and were both watching the Great Heaven Flaming Emperor spell body in silence.

Lin Feng's eyes swept across the two of them and returned to the Xuanming Holy Man.

"The family matters of the Shi Family? You must have known about the feud between my disciple Shi Tianhao and the Man of Polycoria, Shi Tianyi back in the day?"

As he heard Lin Feng's words, the Xuanming Holy Man contemplated momentarily before replying with a nod. "I know everything about the story."

Lin Feng's tone was calm. "If you know everything, then you should also know that Shi Tianyi, the Shi Family, the Yu Family should be held accountable for what they did to my disciple, and should come to justice."

"Shi Tianhao will seek this justice personally from Shi Tianyi and the Shi family. If it's just between the two of them, then I will not have interfered. However, if a third-party wishes to meddle then I cannot sit back and watch."

The Xuanming Holy Man's gaze was also calm and composed. "Let bygones be bygones. Shi Tianhao has been reborn, and the things of the past may not be his destiny but rather a form of training gifted upon him by the heavens."

"Whether it is Shi Tianhao or Shi Tianyi, they are both outstanding prodigies of the younger generation of human cultivators. Their futures are boundless – their incessant squabbling and arguments is a great regret for the human world of cultivation.

Lin Feng's expression was still the same – carefree and casual. However, his eyes were turning cold. "What is right and wrong is what's important. If someone schemed against my disciple and stole his Natural Supreme Spiritual Altar, then today he has to be prepared to compensate in kind."

The Xuanlin Holy Man's eyes turned cold as well. His brows curled ever so deep, but he said nothing momre.

Behind him, Pang Jie began to speak. "There was only one Natural Supreme, but now there are two. This should be a great occurrence for the human world of cultivation – we should be glad that it happened."

Chapter 526: Who's Of The Satanic Way?

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"Since Shi Tianhao has turned over a new leaf, then this is the best outcome."

Pang Jie continued slowly. "From the perspective of the Divine Lands, Shi Tianyi and his mother did something good for the world on that fateful day. Besides Shi Tianhao, Shi Tianyi was made that day as well. Instead of one unprecedented prodigy, now there are two. The standards of the human world of cultivation have been greatly enhanced ever since."

"If we look back at the event after a thousand years, the benefits that the human world of cultivation would have reaped since then would have been limitless."

Lin Feng did not even look at Pang Jie. He shifted his gaze to the Xuanlin Holy Man and asked, "Is this the Great Void Sect's position?"

The Xuanlin Holy Man replied quietly, "If not?"

Lin Feng chuckled a little. "Therefore, according to you guys, I should dig out his eyes for my disciple. A single Man with Polycoria will become two then, no? The only problem is, his eyes are not worth my attention at all."

"I want whatever he took from my disciple back then – in full."

"Anomalies that happen during the formation of the Purple Pill after the erection of the Supreme Spiritual Crucible on top of the Supreme Spiritual Altar will lead to certain consequences later on. These consequences shall reveal themselves during the ascension to the nascent soul stage – I know what these changes are, and I'm sure the Great Void Sect knows as well."

The Xuanlin Holy Man and Pang Jie frowned a little.

Everybody showed expressions of doubt upon hearing these words. This included the Prince Xian of the Right and the Gambling Holy Man, amongst other immortal soul stage powerhouses.

Shi Zongyue's expression changed slightly, as if he suddenly recalled something important, and his gaze became a lot more solemn and serious.

Lin Feng's expression was plain but his eyes were a lot colder. "Shi Tianyi stole the Natural Supreme Spiritual Altar away from my disciple, Shi Tianhao, when he was still a tiny kid. Shi Tianyi's legacy as an unprecedented prodigy, or perhaps a God that's descended upon the earth? Everything was built at the expense of my disciple."

"Tianhao's life was in danger and his parents escaped with him. Even then, they were pursued by members of the Yu Family."

"Tianhao joined my sect afterwards to ply the trade. The Yu Family never gave up – they attempted to murder him three times after discovering his real identity."

"His parents returned from the Void Battleground with much effort, and right about when their family could finally be reunited, his parents were pursued with intentions to kill again."

Only at this point did Shi Zongyue and the others finally realize why Lin Feng acted so aggressively and took the initiative to launch an assault on the Yu Family and violently flatten their entire estate.

Such things could not be denied. The Soul-Searching Technique was something of demonic origins and a technique humans typically shunned. If the need for it did arise, the Yu Family and the Shi Family could only confess truthfully.

Nobody doubted Lin Feng's ability to do something like this as they watched his ice-cold eyes.

A female cultivator from the Great Void Sect behind the Xuanlin Holy Man pondered momentarily before opening her mouth. "Pursuing Shi Tianhao's parents with the intention to kill them is indeed unforgiveable. The perpetrators should be punished."

"When all those things happened all those years ago, Shi Tianyi was also still a kid. His mother was the mastermind behind everything. If I'm not wrong, this person has already been captured."

"In recent years, Shi Tianyi has been thinking a lot about his family junior. I'm sure he will be happy to find other ways to compensate Shi Tianhao."

The female cultivator from the Great Void Sect continued. "They will both become unprecedented legends in the cultivation world – there is no doubt. If either one is lost in one way or another, the human world of cultivation would have experienced an unimaginable loss."

Lin Feng's eyes swept over her with an indifferent gaze. "According to what I know, Shi Tianyi has not shown a single trace of regret in his behavior in recent years. He is also completely aware of everything that's happened all those years ago – every single detail, the reason why it happened and the outcome of it all. Furthermore, when he discovered the secret about my disciple's Supreme Spiritual Altar, he reported to his mother and subsequently devised that devious plan of theft."

"You can say all you want that he has repented or whatever. That's okay – all he has to do is return what he took from Shi Tianhao."

"What is it? He can only admit that he has stolen something but is unwilling to return it?"

The female cultivator's breath stopped momentarily. Beside her, Pang Jie asked quietly, "Are you telling me you wish to ruin Shi Tianyi?"

Lin Feng's expression was as calm and composed as ever. However, his eyes became ever colder. "If he was able to ruin my disciple all those years ago, then he must have expected this day to come."

"If my disciple can keep himself together and rise again after he faced calamity and complete ruin, then why can't he?" Lin Feng laughed coldly. "Tianhao almost lost his life back then. As for Shi Tianyi, at his current level, his life won't be threatened if he returned what he took."

Pang Jie's brows furrowed. "How can this be the same? Shi Tianyi is already in the nascent soul stage!"

After this was said, Shi Zongyue and the Prince Xian of the Right were both astounded.

Especially so for Shi Zongyue. He had just met Shi Tianyi not too long ago, and even though he knew that Shi Tianyi was cultivating in a place that sped up time he also knew that Shi Tianyi's real age was not even seventeen.

Ascending to the nascent soul stage before the age of seventeen – this was truly unprecedented. Perhaps God had descended upon the human race. Shi Tianyi was really living up to his reputation has a legend that had never appeared before in history.

Now that he was under the Great Void Sect, his future was truly boundless. He was destined to become one of the main players – if not the dictator – of this era.

Lin Feng's expression remained unchanged. He said plainly, "You said it as well. He's already a nascent soul stage cultivator so he's quite durable. As for my disciple, Shi Tianhao, he was only a little infant all those years ago wben his Supreme Spiritual Altar was stolen. Do you know how much pain and suffering he had to go through?"

Lin Feng's eyes scanned everybody present as he carried on. "Shi Tianhao is my disciple now, so I will seek justice for him."

"If somebody owes Shi Tianhao then this person shall return whatever it is that's owed. If this person is unwilling, then I will beat him until he does." Lin Feng pointed to the pile of rubble that used to be the Yu Family ancestral ground. "There are some things that are just not open for negotiation or compromise."

The Xuanlin Holy Man waved his sleeve as he stared Lin Feng in the eye. "This is not justice that you seek – this is tyranny and the demands are highly unreasonable. Your taste for vengeance and payment in blood and the brutality of your actions have brought you to a level that's close to the Satanic Way."

He stood upright in the void as an intimidating aura spread all around, much like that which would come from the dictator of the world.

He was not exactly one with heaven and earth, but neither was he entirely independent from them. Rather, he was one dictating it all.

Even Lin Feng's Great Heaven Flaming Emperor spell body grew unstable under the pressure of the energy.

Lin Feng smiled faintly as the gargantuan spell body that was formed from pure golden fire began to collapse and crumble as it transformed into an entire ocean of Grand Sun Primordial Fire.

The sea of fire suddenly split in two and opened up a path. At the end of the pathway, the void began to crack as purple gas surged outwards as a young man clad in purple stepped out from within – it was Lin Feng's original body.

There were two other people with him, however. One of them was a middle-aged man, and his whole being resembled gray clouds on the verge of becoming a thunderstorm. Explosive and violent power lay hidden and dormant inside all the peace and calm.

Everybody recognized this person. He was the leader of the Purple Clouds Sect, the Thunderclouds Holy Man.

The Purple Clouds Sect had always been on fantastic terms with the Celestial Sect of Wonders. The fact that the Thunderclouds Holy Man was travelling together with Lin Feng was no surprise. Rather, it was the person with Lin Feng who drew most of their attentions; he was an elderly man with a sword aura that seemed to open a stairway into the sky as it pierced the heavens. It felt like this sword aura could overcome all obstacles, and this man could continue the path up the stairs all the way to the Nine Heavens.

"The Celestial Sword Elder?" Pang Jie exchanged a glance with the female cultivator as they began to frown.

The person with Lin Feng and the Thunderclouds Holy Man was the Celestial Sword Elder from the Heavenly Master Sword Sect.

Even though there was no real proof, everybody with a certain degree of access and exposure to highly classified information knew that the Heavenly Master Sword Sect had always been supported, partly in secret, by the Great Void Sect. This was the only reason why they could stably maintain the second-highest status within the Nine Heavenly Sword Alliance and follow closely behind the Mount Shu Sword Sect.

The Celestial Sword Elder actually showed up Lin Feng right when he was engaged in conflict with the Great Void Sect. There were just too many possibilities.

However, no matter which possibility was considered, it was nothing good for the Xuanlin Holy Man and the others.

Lin Feng sauntered forward in his original body. He looked at the Xuanlin Holy Man in the eye and said, "The Satanic Way? You could not have been more wrong. If you want to talk about the Satanic Way, then the person standing beside you is the one that has truly been initiated."

His hands waved in the air as he spoke. A light shadow flew out and hovered in midair.

Within the light shadow was a young man wearing white. There was white cloud engraved on his shirt.

Everybody could tell that this person no longer had a physical being. What they saw right now was a form that came about only after soul was refined and re-forged repeatedly with a secret method.

From the moment he saw this person, Pang Jie's eyes closed ever so slightly.

This young man in front of him was Pang Jie's direct junior. He was Chen Gang, the disciple of the Great Void Sect who went up Mount Kunlun to seek Lin Feng out and cause trouble for him.

Before everything happened, Chen Gang willingly allowed Pang Jie to plant a curse on his body. When the time arose, Pang Jie could steal away Chen Gang's physical body through a secret ritual spell and immediately forge an avatar to defeat an adversary that Chen Gang was unable to handle by himself.

The problem was that Pang Jie's spell was intercepted by Lin Feng, and Chen Gang's soul was also imprisoned by Lin Feng and was eventually re-forged into the Unholy Marionette.

Typically, if the secret ritual spell failed, the sacrificial target would lose both the soul and the body. However, Pang Jie did not expect Lin Feng to discover a way to keep Chen Gang and imprison his soul.

Lin Feng used the Fences of the Heavens technique to intercept Pang Jie's ritual spell back then. This was a spell that Lin Feng invented, and had never been seen before in the history of the Divine Lands.

When the female cultivator saw the state that Chen Gang was in, she flared up in fury. "The River Style Primordial Water, the Unholy Marionette?! You actually refined a disciple of the Great Void Sect into an Unholy Marionette? You are indeed of the Satanic Way!"

Lin Feng replied calmly, "The reason why I forged him into an Unholy Marionette was because I wanted to save his life. Besides this, there was no other way."

"This was because back then, he was being sacrificed by somebody else, which would result in the destruction of his soul and the taking over of his physical body. I forged his soul into an Unholy Marionette in other to preserve it."

Upon hearing words like 'sacrifice' and 'destruction of his soul' caused the Xuanlin Holy Man and the female cultivator to frown in displeasure.

The corner of Lin Feng's mouth curled into a faint smile. "So, who do you guys think is the person that tried to do that?"

The Xuanlin Holy Man took a deep breath as he stared straight into Lin Feng's eyes but remained silent.

"So let's see, who's the one that's really of the Satanic Way?" Lin Feng clapped his hands together and directly released the Unholy Marionette spell cast upon Chen Gang's body.

However, the mana that was cast upon Chen Gang's soul triggered memories in the deepest recesses of Chen Gang's soul and displayed everything in vivid frames in front of everyone.

Lin Feng was casting spells in front of everyone with nothing to hide and did not fake anything at all. He released the Unholy Marionette spell and was no longer in control of Chen Gang.

Everybody present were immortal soul stage cultivators and everybody could tell that Lin Feng did not do anything fishy.

There was no need for him to lie anyway as all he had to do was present everything the way it was originally.

The frames flashed by quickly. Everybody saw Pang Jie imprinting the curse on Chen Gang's forehead. Everybody saw Pang Jie channeling the sacrificial ritual to direct Pang Jie into Chen Gang's physical being and to take over it afterwards.

Everyone watched in shock at what they saw. Even though Chen Gang was willing, Pang Jie ultimately tried to sacrifice and steal the soul of a junior from his own sect. Such action was extremely hurtful to the reputation of the Great Void Sect as the number one holy ground of the Divine Lands.

Especially so when everybody saw, from Chen Gang's memories, that he was not the only one that Pang Jie had engraved the curse upon!

In the next moment, everybody's gazes were concentrated on Pang Jie and the Xuanlin Holy Man.

All sorts of expressions flashed across everyone's eyes – appalment, astonishment, speechlessness, mockery… They were all like sharp blades cutting gaping gashes, again and again, upon the glorious reputation of the Great Void Sect.

Lin Feng placed his hands behind his back and smiled faintly.

"So now, tell me, who's the cruel and brutal one?"

"Who's of the Satanic Way?"

Chapter 527: Do You Dare To Fight?

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng's tone was plain but his words were as sharp as knives as they cut deep into the faces of the Xuanlin Holy Man and the others with him until they were flowing with blood.

Casting forbidden spells upon disciples from the same sect, and engraving curses and runes on them so that he or she could re-forge those people into his or her own avatar, were hideous acts that were typically seen only in demonic sects.

Even though Chen Gang and the others were willing, committing such acts were enough to cast a long and gloomy shadow over the glorious reputation of the Great Void Sect.

For a long time coming, the Great Void Sect had been the number one holy ground in the Divine Lands' world of cultivation. At the same time, they were also leaders of the Just Way. In the great battle between humans and the demons, the Great Void Sect took point as they led the alliance to sweep the satanic sects. This directly resulted in the current situation were sects of the Just Way were flourishing as the satanic sects were weak and hidden.

However, who would have thought that disciples of the Great Void Sect could do something so sinister. Furthermore, Pang Jie was not just any normal disciple – he used to bear the mantle of the group leader of all the other disciples in his era, and was also named the All-Under-Heavens Strider.

A person like this was undoubtedly, and irrevocably, one of the destined leaders of the new generation of disciples in the Great Void Sect.

Being exposed like this with such ugly news did not just hurt his own pride and reputation – the Great Void Sect suffered similar humiliation.

An unrivaled reputation that had been accumulated after uncountable years and months was about to take a hit.

Pang Jie stood within the void calmly. His expression revealed nothing as he allowed the judgmental eyes of everyone to rest upon his body.

Before this, he was still one of the more prodigious disciples of the new generation of disciples from the Great Void Sect with a bright future ahead of him.

In the next moment, he was about to descend into an abyss of no return.

Pang Jie was not furious, and neither did he try to deny or reason his way out of it. He was just standing there in silence.

He watched Lin Feng with an extremely weird look.

During the battle at Shazhou City, Pang Jie's original body was not present. He used one of his avatars to challenge Lin Feng and was subsequently defeated and imprisoned. It was only with Yan Mingyue's help that he got away. Still, the All-Under-Heavens Strider was completely humiliated.

With regards to Lin Feng's display of status and powers afterwards, one could say that "humiliation" was a little bit of a stretch. The Heavenly Winds Holy Man, who was in the immortal soul stage, was defeated and subsequently killed by Lin Feng. The Golden Crow Grand Sage, one of the Ten Demonic Saints, was also captured and imprisoned.

Recently, four immortal soul second stage sword cultivators, also known as the stage of the cultivation of the virtual entity, from the Mount Shu Sword Sect were also utterly defeated at the hands of Lin Feng. Even some giants of the era such as Xin Longsheng, who was the leader of the Mount Shu Sword Sect, suffered defeats of some sort; Lin Feng sliced his sword Qi avatar in half.

Pang Jie actually had his own thoughts and intentions during the battle of Shazhou City. In order to break through the bottleneck into the immortal soul stage, he had to give up his title.

After the battle, Pang Jie had been cultivating on top of Mount Baiyun ever since. It was not too long ago that he finally broke through to the immortal soul stage and formed the immortal soul avatar.

Ascension to the immortal soul first level meant he was free and was on his path to greatness.

From that moment on, he was no longer some young prodigy with great potential. His potential had since transformed into real power and standard, and from then on, he became a real legend of the era as he took his first step onto stage that was the Grand Celestial World.

If he continued along the path that he was on, there was no doubt that his name would appear in the history books. All those empty titles before were all like smoke and mist in hindsight.

Pang Jie was like the rising Sun. He was finally going towards the pinnacle of greatness, and was marching forward like the Sun during midday.

However, at this exact moment, he ran into Lin Feng once again.

Subsequently, he suddenly realized that even though he was in the immortal soul stage, he could never compare to Lin Feng.

The gap between the two of them was possibly greater than that which existed during the battle of Shazhou City!

Back then, he was a prodigal talent and a leading disciple of the Great Void Sect as well as the All-Under-Heavens Strider. He was one of the up and coming leaders of the younger generation.

On the other hand, Lin Feng's reputation paled in comparison. He was just showing the top of his head, and his identity was a mystery. During that time, a great many people did not even know he existed, and the people that did were all guessing his true identity – where did he come from?

Now, Pang Jie had ascended to the immortal soul stage and was formally introduced into the inner circle of the Great Void Sect. At the same time, he became someone whose words actually mattered in the Divine Lands.

His resilience, perseverance, determination and planning all bore fruit and he was well on his way on the path to success.

Yet, the Lin Feng in front of him was already at a status that was similar to the elders in his own sect; his status was in fact at the same level as Yan Nanlai, the leader of the Great Void Sect.

Even though Pang Jie had always been clear-headed and had always been unwaveringly determined, at this point he could not help but feel a little lost.

Once upon a time, Lin Feng was nothing to him – like the clouds floating around in the skies. It came to a point where Lin Feng became something of an arch-nemesis, an adversary of equal ability.

However, in hindsight, everything was like a joke.

The female cultivator beside him remained silent, while the Xuanlin Holy Man's brows furrowed up once again. A look of true disappointment seemed to flicker in his eyes as he turned around to face Pang Jie. "You have erred."

Pang Jie replied quietly, "Every disciple of the Great Void Sect has benefited from its glorious reputation. Naturally, we have to contribute to the sect in one way or another."

"The descendants will determine right and wrong."

He raised his head and met the Xuanlin Holy Man's gaze. Their eyes were both charged with sincere and true passion, yet betrayed an equal measure of indifference at the same time. Both states existed simultaneously.

"The Great Void Sect is also the reason why I am standing here where I am today. If Chen Junior and the others can make such sacrifices, then I can also do it." Pang Jie let out a long and painful sigh. "Master, just do it. I am willing to do anything to wash away the blemish upon our reputation."

The Xuanlin Holy Man watched Pang Jie closely. Pang Jie was one of his direct disciples, and he had personally nurtured Pang Jie effortfully all this while. Yet, he was about to shut him down with his own hand.

He raised one hand and uncountable streaks of white light flashed from within the void. A giant stone plaque descended from the sky, with two words engraved on the front surface –"The Commandments"– while the nine great commandments of the Great Void Sect were imprinted on the other side.

The fifth commandment that read, "No jealousy and mutual killing between disciples of the sect," was flickering with brilliant light.

This stone plaque was the magic treasure that enforced law and order within the Great Void Sect. It had been a while since the last time it was used. The stone plaque crashed down from the sky and immediately overpowered Pang Jie.

Entities imprisoned by the Great Void Demon-Crushing Stone would not perish. Rather, they would be forever held down by the power of the stone plaque, and if the stone remained intact then these individuals would never escape from their predicaments. It was akin to lifelong incarceration.

Pang Jie's body was directly under the white light that came from below the Great Void Demon-Crushing Stone. Moments passed as the shadow of his body gradually disappeared – even in his last moments, his eyes were fixated upon Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's expression was calm, but he was not looking at Pang Jie. His eyes were trained upon the Great Void Demon-Crushing Stone that was hovering in the sky as he watched on with slight curiosity.

His gaze ultimately landed upon the Xuanlin Holy Man as he nodded faintly.

There was not a single trace of hesitation as the Xuanlin Holy Man made his judgment decisively – he overpowered and imprisoned Pang Jie, who was his direct disciple and also one of the successors of the Great Void Sect's inner circle, in an instant.

It seemed as if Lin Feng forced him into a corner and he was being skinned, but in the end it presented an opportunity to display a sincere, just and decisive attitude that great individuals of the Great Void Sect should possess.

No matter how big a tree was, there were bound to be wilted branches. Pang Jie's actions would probably affect the Great Void Sect's reputation in some way, but the way that the Xuanlin Holy Man handled the issue would probably also minimize the negative impact.

In this case, the tables turned around on Lin Feng and it seemed as if he was deliberately trying to target the Great Void Sect and harbored ulterior motives.

The Gambling Holy Man voice-projected a message to Shi Zongyue. "The leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders could have resolved this in private with the Great Void Sect. The way he poured everything out in front of everyone is such an unforgivable act of humiliation for the Great Void Sect."

"It's such an obvious display of hostility. Even though the Great Void Sect settled Pang Jie and have served the justice he deserved, they are bound to feel extremely unsettled and displeased with what just transpired. Is the Celestial Sect of Wonders trying to completely antagonize the Great Void Sect? That's not a very smart thing to do."

The Stellar Holy Man also frowned slightly. "Grinding it out with the Great Void Sect for a mere disciple under his wing – is it worth it?"

"If both sides are unwilling to compromise, then that's still acceptable. The Great Void Sect is also adamantly protecting Shi Tianyi – however, this time it seems as if the Great Void Sect is in the wrong," Prince Anliang, Shi Zongyue replied slowly. "However, the Radical Faction of the Great Void Sect have always been overbearing and domineering. If not for the Conservative Faction holding them back, they would have started forcefully expanding since a long time ago."

His gaze swept across the Celestial Sword Elder beside Lin Feng and said plainly, "However, the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was not trying to completely antagonize the Great Void Sect. In fact, it's just…"

The Xuanlin Holy Man's eyes also landed upon Lin Feng in a similar manner. The intimidation in his eyes was extremely overbearing.

This great senior elder of the Great Void Sect was one of the main figures of the Great Void Sect's Radical Faction. For a long time coming, he had taken the initiative to nurture the leaders of the Great Void Sect and became an individual with powers of supreme dictatorship.

Even though the Great Void Sect was currently anchored by the Conservative Faction, the Xuanlin Holy Man firmly believed that every single obstacle they currently faced would ultimately disappear.

The Radical Faction of the Great Void Sect would naturally come forward strongly with wariness and pressure as they were faced with the unprecedented rising of the Celestial Sect of Wonders as a superpower.

At the same time, the act of humiliation that Lin Feng just dished out against them led the Xuanlin Holy Man to categorize him entirely into the group of people that constituted the 'obstacles'.

This caused the Xuanlin Holy Man to perceive him as a foe rather than a friend.

Lin Feng's expression was still as casual as always, and he glanced at the Xuanlin Holy Man calmly.

It was true that he deliberately tried to embarrass the Great Void Sect in front of everyone. Typically, they could associate without conflict. Lin Feng had always been in possession of Chen Gang, but never did play out this card.

Yet, there were some things that just had no room for negotiation or compromise.

If the Xuanlin Holy Man, Pang Jie and the others wanted to protect Shi Tianyi to the point where they bent reason and logic, and attaining the moral high ground at the same time to shoot one back at Lin Feng, then Lin Feng would not hold back against them.

The only way that nobody could find out about what you had done was if the act was not committed at all in the first place. People would not slander and frame you, but if the act had already been committed when all you could do was stand upright in the face of accusation and humiliation.

"The Great Void Sect will always be the Great Void Sect. Even though there is a black sheep amongst you, your glorious reputation will remain unfettered." Lin Feng continued quietly, "But you should take note of what Pang Jie has done."

"Some people may be prodigious along the road of cultivation, but their personalities can be rotten. Nurturing them becomes a real challenge."

The Great Void Demon-Crushing Stone flickered with white light beside the Xuanlin Holy Man. His gaze pierced through the void as he stared directly at Lin Feng, "Uninvolve individuals shall not interfere with what happens within the doors of the Great Void Sect."

Lin Feng laughed it off casually. "Uninvolved individuals? All right, now I am involved."

"Since you guys believe Shi Tianyi to be the main descendant of the Great Void Sect, then I propose a practice battle between my disciple and one of yours. The question is: Do you dare to fight?"

Lin Feng extended his fist subtly and the void behind began to ripple with clear light as a humongous mystical amount flickered into view.

A shadow of a person flew down from the top of the mountain. He was wearing purple clothes as clear black hair hung down to his shoulders. His lips were blood red and his teeth were white and he had a handsome look. He seemed like he was only twelve or thirteen, but vast and immense mana rippled around his body. Boundless aurora light circles enveloped his body as he descended unto the ground.

It was Xiao Budian, Shi Tianhao!

He had shut himself in all this while, and was finally out and about.

Shi Tianhao arrived beside Lin Feng and stared fearlessly at the Xuanlin Holy Man. He asked calmly, "Shi Tianhao, disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, requests to battle Shi Tianyi of the Great Void Sect."

"My older brother, do you dare to fight?"

Chapter 528: At The Same Level, I Would Bully You!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Shi Tianhao stood beside Lin Feng in silence. He was already growing taller by the day, and his features were becoming much more defined and sharp as he shed his adolescence gradually.

This youth was not even thirteen years old, yet he already had an extraordinary aura that nobody could ignore.

Shi Zongyue and the others looked over and could tell right away that he was in the aurous core advanced stage, same as Xiao Yan. However, while the immense mana that was rippling around his body was not as violent and brutal as Xiao Yan, the vastness was still extraordinary. One could not measure his ability with the standards of normal aurous core stage cultivators.

This phenomenon was amplified by the colorful clouds rolling around him various heteromorphs that enveloped him in a layer of mysterious mist; he became something of an enigma.

The white parts of his eyes were clearly separated from the black parts as spiritual energy permeated everywhere. There were even obscure flickers of divine light.

Xiao Yan brought the Flaming Dragon Celestial Armor and arrived next to Lin Feng. Shi Tianhao turned to look at the newcomer as they both shared a warm smile.

"Shi Tianhao is the born with natural supremacy. After his calamitous encounters, he has been reborn and remade – perhaps he has exceeded his original predicted strength?" Even Shi Zongyue, the Prince Xian of the Right and the other immortal soul stage elders were all looking straight at Shi Tianhao.

When he was still in the aurous core intermediate stage, Shi Tianhao defeated and killed an adversary in the nascent soul intermediate stage. Now that he was in the aurous core advanced stage, would he be like Xiao Yan – who held the cosmic forms of normal nascent soul advanced stage cultivators in extreme disregard?

What sent chills down everyone's spines was the gradual realization that, while the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were far superior to other cultivators of the same level of mastery, the higher their level of mastery then the greater the gap between them and the other cultivators.

When Xiao Yan and Shi Tianhao were in the aurous core beginner stage, they simply used nascent soul stage magic items and held nascent soul beginner stage cultivators to a draw.

However, once they were in the nascent soul intermediate stage, Shi Tianhao overcame and eliminated a nascent soul intermediate stage opponent at the cost of sustaining heavy injuries during the battle of Shazhou City.

And, as they ascended to the nascent soul advanced stage, Xiao Yan could already take on and decisively defeat a great many nascent soul advanced stage grandmasters. There was hardly anybody below the immortal soul stage that could take him one-on-one.

When normal cultivators ascended to the next stage of mastery, their standards would increase as well. However, whenever the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders ascended to the next level, their standards would skyrocket. The vastness of the gap was truly extraordinary.

They were equally impressed when they discovered that Shi Tianyi had reached the nascent soul stage before the age of seventeen.

It was not just because Shi Tianyi was still very young. It was also because, according to his past experiences, he was an unprecedented super-prodigy just like Xiao Yan and Shi Tianhao; his battle prowess was unrivaled by others of the same level of mastery.

His successful formation of the nascent soul meant that there were not many nascent soul stage cultivators that could take him on. Even when normal nascent soul advanced stage elders unleashed his or her cosmic form, Shi Tianyi would probably ultimately emerge victorious.

A talent such as this truly lived up to his reputation. One could even say it was the descent of God upon the earth, and he was destined to become a historic legend.

However, when Shi Tianhao stood beside Xiao Yan shoulder-to-shoulder and they both stood next to Lin Feng in silence, a thought appeared in everyone's minds.

"Even if that's the case, can the 'Big Shi' overcome the 'Little Shi'?"

"If the 'Little Shi' is as powerful as Xiao Yan, I wonder if 'Big Shi' can defeat him?"

Shi Tianhao's expression was calm and composed. His clear voice echoed between heaven and earth. "I am Shi Tianhao, disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, and I request to battle Shi Tianyi of the Great Void Sect."

"My brother, do you dare to fight against me?"

"…Dare to fight against me?"

"…Fight against me?"

Lin Feng smiled faintly as he channeled the purple energy before him and, using his mana, he sent Shi Tianhao's voice exploding in all directions. His voice surged across the vast expanses of land – whether it was cultivators with varying degrees of mastery or non-cultivators, everybody could hear his voice.

This was no different from challenging Shi Tianyi with everyone under the sky as witnesses.

Tianhao's voice, under Lin Feng's control, pierced across the void and reached the Shi Family's ancestral ground, reached Xiling City of the Great Qin Empire, and reached the tiny village that Shi Tianhao grew up in…

Inside the royal palace of Xiling City, the Qin Emperor Shi Yu and the Prime Minister Wu Qingrou sat facing each other. After a moment of contemplation, Shi Yu released the mana defense mechanism of Xiling City and let Shi Tianhao's voice travel across the entire city.

Wu Qingrou's expression was plain and apathetic, but his eyes sparkled here and there, as if he was calculating something.

Shi Tianhao's voice finally travelled to the mountain entrance of the Great Void Sect – Mount Baiyun.

Mount Baiyun was perennially covered in thick white mist, and outsiders could never obtain any information about what was going on inside. Shi Tianhao's voice crackled outside Mount Baiyun a couple of times before the thick white mist suddenly cleared a path for Lin Feng's purple energy to carry Tianhao's voice into the mountain.

Under the guidance of the white cloudy mist, the streak of purple energy finally reached a cave somewhere within the mountain.

The Xuanlin Holy Man watched on as his brows curled a little. "Yan Nanlai…" He said nothing more as divine light leaked out of his eyes and ripped open the void into the same place inside Mount Baiyun.

Everybody trembled a little. It was clear that the Xuanlin Holy Man's action was equivalent to accepting Lin Feng and Shi Tianhao's challenge.

Divine light drifted about as the white cloudy mist inside the cave began to rise. The shadow of a youth at the age of sixteen or seventeen appeared. His legs were crossed and he was meditating in silence.

He was decently tall and long black hair fell upon his shoulders. His characteristics were handsome and defined but both his eyes were closed.

Rolling white cloudy mist circled beside his body. Within the white clouds, uncountable runes and hieroglyphs appeared and formed a golden light shadow that bobbed up and down.

The cultivators from the Royal House of the Northern Tribes behind the Prince Xian of the Right grew solemn. "So this is the Man With Polycoria, Shi Tianyi?"

The purple energy brought Shi Tianhao's voice into the abode.

"My brother, do you dare to fight against me?"

Once he heard these words, the youth sitting inside the white clouds tilted his head slightly towards the side and, with his eyes still closed, replied, "My little brother. It's been a long time – has your physical body recovered?"

This youth that resembled the descent of God upon the earth was the Man With Polycoria, Shi Tianyi. Ever since he started plying the craft, he was recognized publicly as the most outstanding prodigy of his generation that shook the Grand Celestial World. He was destined to leave his name in the history books, and would become a being of legends.

Shi Tianhao watched Shi Tianyi's figure in silence. His gaze became ever so calm and cool.

Even though Shi Tianyi's tone felt warm and even carried traces of amicability, everybody could hear the casualness in his voice, along with immense self-confidence and an air of indifference. There was even a tinge of mockery as well.

Even though he stole Shi Tianhao's Natural Supreme Spiritual Alter to make himself into the unprecedented prodigy of today, Shi Tianyi did not seem to feel any guilt or regret – all he had was self-confidence and composure.

Shi Tianhao stared at the youth in the light shadow. It was this person that saw the Natural Supreme tao Foundation within Tianhao and subsequently plotted with his mother to cast a spell to steal Tianhao's Tao Foundation, and subsequently bestowing it upon himself. This was the reason why he had to go through all those calamitous experiences.

"My brother, so, you wish to hide on Mount Baiyun?"

Shi Tianyi answered casually, "It's been so long since our last meeting. I wonder if we finally have the chance to meet again?"

The meaning of his words seemed to suggest that, ever since Shi Tianhao lost the Natural Supreme Spiritual Altar all those years ago, he lost his worth in Tianyi's eyes.

Shi Tianhao was still watching Shi Tianyi, whose eyes were still closed. His voice was as pain as ever. "If you were in front of me now, then you will never open those eyes again."

All you could do was hide on Mount Baiyun and make big talk. If we were face to face, I would defeat you for sure so that you would close your eyes forever.

"If that's the case, then we shall meet after all." Shi Tianyi finally opened his eyes. Divine light shot out everywhere as there were two pupils within each eye, much like the simultaneous appearance of the Sun and the Moon in the sky.

The pupils in his eyes were flashing with divine light and held unspeakable power.

Even people like the Prince Xian of the Right and the Stellar Holy Man, as well as the Gambling Holy Man and the others present, turned a lot more serious and solemn as they perceived the Polycorian Man. "And this is when he's just entered the nascent soul stage. If he continued to rise…"

Shi Zongyue's expression was a lot more complicated. "I have finally seen him again. There is a truly unimaginable difference between then and now."

"It's not just the change in his polycorian eyes – there are other anomalies." Shi Zongyue could feel sharply that, within Shi Tianyi's pupils, there was a sinister flicker of divine light besides the fact that they resembled the radiance of the Sun and the Moon.

After the formation of the nascent soul, the power of the Polycoria increased another level.

However, besides that, there were many other transformations.

He obtained the Natural Supreme Tao Foundation, which originally belonged to Shi Tianhao. He attained the aurous core stage on this foundation and subsequently ascended to the nascent soul the same way. He could also obtain world-changing abhijnas by continuing down this path.

This was a power that was unique to the person that possessed the Natural Supreme Spiritual Altar, and after this person had consolidated the Natural Supreme Crucible. It would only be physically visible after forming the nascent soul.

Destined to be a legend and carrying the ferocity of the world upon his shoulders – taking the myriad of abhijnas of the world and assimilating them into his own body.

Blessed! He was truly blessed!

Shi Tianyi channeled the power of the light shadow and turned towards the Xuanlin Holy Man and the female cultivator. "MY two senior elders, greetings."

And then his gaze paused on Lin Feng's for a moment. The four pupils began to flicker in his eyes, but all he could feel a thick layer of mysterious mist enveloping Lin Feng's body. The divine vision that he possessed was actually obscured.

Lin Feng glanced at him indifferently and Shi Tianyi drew a cold breath as he retracted his own gaze. His eyes finally landed upon Shi Tianhao's body.

His eyes returned to its original radiance as he watched Shi Tianhao calmly. "My little brother. Not bad, you have made me really glad."

Shi Tianhao and Shi Tianyi stood there and stared into each other's eyes. The more he looked at Tianyi, the calmer Tianhao's gaze became. His whole spiritual and physical being seemed to be in transformation, as if he was shedding a mold or cocoon of some sort.

"My brother, between you and me, let's not waste any more words. When shall we fight?"

Shi Tianyi replied casually, "You're not bad, but not nearly good enough. Do continue to train hard."

"Do let me see if you've actually been reborn? If not, did you know that the person with the Natural Supreme Tao Foundation will only show true and glorious power after the formation of the nascent soul stage?"

"I have formed the nascent soul, and you are still in the aurous core stage. If we are to battle now, it's not going to be interesting at all. I will wait for you in the nascent soul stage."

Shi Tianhao's tone also turned casual and indifferent. "Nascent soul stage? If we battle when I am in the nascent soul stage, then our battle will truly be uninteresting."

"At the same level of mastery, besides the other disciples within the Celestial Sect of Wonders, I am unrivaled."

He did not raise his voice and his tone was extremely plain. However, it betrayed an intense degree of self-confidence and overbearingness – to a degree even greater than that of the Man of Polycoria, Shi Tianyi.

So what if you were in the nascent soul stage? So what if you were the Man of Polycoria? So what if you began to show true and glorious power with the Natural Supreme Tao Foundation?

It was only because I am in the aurous core stage and you were in the nascent soul stage that I chose to battle with you.

If I were also in the nascent soul stage, you would become nothing to me. At the same level, I would bully you!

Shi Tianyi's expression finally began to change as he turned to look at Shi Tianhao with a serious look. "My little brother, you and your seniors and juniors are too domineering and overbearing."

Shi Tianhao shook his head and interrupted him immediately. "Enough nonsense. I only have one question for you."

"Do you dare to fight with me?"

Chapter 529: Some People Can Leave, But Some Cannot!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Even though Shi Tianhao was younger, his manner was a lot more imposing and overbearing.

Enough with all those meaningless talk.

I only have one question for you – do you dare you fight against me?

Do you, or do you not?

Shi Tianyi's multiple pupils stared straight at Shi Tianhao. He was originally seated with his legs crossed between the white clouds and the golden light, and at this point he gradually stood up.

This particular action caused the clouds and the golden light to tremble violently, as if a demi-god had stood up.

"If you want to fight, then we shall fight. Whenever and wherever you want."

Shi Tianhao flashed a faint smile and replied, "Here and now. I will wait for you – see if you have the courage to step out of Mount Baiyun."

Right at this time, the Eastern sky above Yu Family ancestral ground suddenly shook vigorously, and between flashes of golden light, rainbow clouds emerged from within and the silhouette of a golden dragon flickered into sight.

Shi Yu, the current emperor of the Great Qin Empire, had arrived personally. However, he was only here with a projection of an avatar.

"Two young prodigies, both not yet twenty and already with extraordinary levels of mastery. The Shi family blood flows inside both of you – if the two of you are to battle, then it shall be one of the Great Qin Empire's greatest regret while also a most glorious occasion. An event such as this requires a suitable stage."

Shi Yu's voice resonated between Heaven and Earth. "One month later, I shall open the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land's Dragon Battle Arena for the both of you."

"The Dragon Rock Gate lies within the Dragon Battle Arena. Only individuals with the Shi family blood flowing in their veins and below the age of twenty, yet with extraordinary levels of power can open the gate. The gate will only open from the force of the epic clash between such individuals."

"There are great treasures hidden within the Dragon Rock Gate. The victor shall be permitted to enter!"

The eyes of both Shi Tianhao and Shi Tianyi sparkled with excitement.

The Prince Anliang, Shi Zongyue's expression changed a little. "Your majesty…"

The Celestial Sword Elder, the Thunderclouds Holy Man, the Stellar Holy Man, the Gambling Holy Man and even the Prince Xian of the Right all expressed similar expressions of shock.

The Great Qin Empire was the oldest and royal empire within the Divine Lands. One of the foundations of their rise in the olden days was the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land. Legend had it that this was the roost of the Immemorial Celestial Dragons during the Primordial Age.

The nature of the spiritual energy within the Ancient Land began to change, and was no longer suitable for the Immemorial Celestial Dragons to roost. Therefore, the great dragon race retreated and searched elsewhere for suitable habitations.

However, what remained was a place that was extremely beneficial for human cultivation. The dragons also left behind many treasures from the ancient days.

The first emperor of the Great Qin Empire relied on the resources from the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land to form the Great Qin Empire, and subsequently expanded their territories and flourished till now.

There was a Dragon Battle Arena within the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land. It was the old stage for ultimate showdowns between the great dragons, and was the core of the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land.

There used to be powerful individuals amongst the ancestors of the Great Qin Empire who tried to encourage the younger generations to work as hard as they could. Therefore, they put forth a sacred seal as a gate to the Ancient Land and dictated that only when two individuals battled against each other could the sacred seal be lifted by the force of their epic clash.

This sacred seal came to be known as the Dragon Rock Gate. Behind the Dragon Rock Gate lay the unusual spaces that dated back to the first ancestors of the Great Qin Empire, and there were many other exotic treasures hidden within as well.

For the gate to be opened, the two parties showing down had to satisfy three criteria.

Firstly, they had to be descendants of the Shi family.

Secondly, they had to be below the age of twenty.

Thirdly, the powers they possessed had to be extraordinary.

How great must their powers be? Nobody knew the exact answer. However, since the beginning of history and over the course of millennia, the Dragon Rock Gate had only been opened twice.

In the more recent millennium, the Dragon Rock Gate had not been opened a single time. A single legendary prodigy was hard to come by – let alone two?

But now, the criteria were satisfied once again.

Shi Tianyi was not yet seventeen and was in the nascent soul beginner stage. He obtained the Natural Supreme Tao Foundation when he was in the foundation establishment stage and possessed the Polycoria. He was like a God that cascaded upon the earth, and ever since he began on his journey in cultivation he was touted as the number one unrivaled champion of the younger generation of cultivators. Everybody knew he was destined to become a figure of legends.

Shi Tianhao was not even thirteen and was already in the aurous core advanced stage. He was reborn after Shi Tianyi deviously stole his Natural Supreme Tao Foundation, and had since then started on a new path of revival and redemption. He defeated and killed a nascent soul intermediate stage grandmaster from the Yu Family, and this sent ripples across the entire Divine Lands.

They were both born from the Shi Family. Even though the Shi Family was one of the side branches of the Great Qin Empire's royal family and their blood relations were relatively distant, they were ultimately descended from the same blood of the Great Qin Empire's ancestors.

The Celestial Sword Elder and the Thunderclouds Holy Man exchanged a look as they thought to themselves, "No matter who's victorious, the Qin Emperor has struck down a good deal. The thing is, this is already such a high-profile event, and now the whole world will be watching."

On the other side, the void split open as the Shi Family leader Shi Wu stepped out slowly. The Virtuous Zen Master was nowhere to be seen, however.

The Yu family lay in ruins, and the Virtuous Zen Master had completed his task as well. He did not have to stick around to hold back Shi Wu any longer and was now on his way back to Mount Yujing.

Shi Wu's face was as black as he was silent while his gaze rested upon Shi Tianyi and Shi Tianhao.

He had no time to consider the impact of the Qin Emperor's decision would have on the Shi Family, the Great Qin Empire's current hostile and antagonizing attitude towards the big families under wing or the fact that they wish to undergo some sort of cleansing.

Ever since he ascended to the immortal soul stage, Shi Wu rarely had instances of lapses in concentration. However, when he perceived Shi Tianhao and Shi Tianyi, he had such a moment.

They were both originally descendants of the Shi Family…

Shi Tianhao and Shi Tianyi stood there staring at each other, and after a long while they both nodded in tandem. "I will wait for you in a month's time."

The crowd of immortal soul stage powerhouses looked at these two family cousins with complex expressions.

Over the course of their long lives, they had seen far too many prodigal individuals. The numbers were so great that they had been numb to them a long time ago and would no longer turn their heads towards these people.

Before the formation of the aurous core stage, one could not live beyond a hundred years. Before the formation of the nascent soul, one could not live beyond a thousand. Before ascending to the immortal soul stage, and after dozens of lifetimes everything was simultaneously nothing.

This did not even account for the possibility of meeting one's demise halfway through.

Despite all this, the 'Big Shi' and the 'Little Shi' in front of them stunned them all.

The older one had a more mature demeanor, and a heroic spirit and ambition that came from deep within was realized with unstoppable momentum.

The younger one was still a little childish, but displayed an even more formidable potential for improvement. Once upon a time, he was only an infant that was on the verge of drawing his last breath, and now he was chasing closely behind his arch-nemesis – he was already biting at the tail.

Shi Zongyue's gaze, along with everyone else's, turned towards the fatherly figure beside 'Little Shi'. This person wore a long purple robe and had this perennial casual and carefree look on his face. There was even a trace of a faint smile.

And then they all turned to look at Xiao Yan, who was standing right beside Shi Tianhao.

This was also an unprecedented prodigy that was in no way inferior to Shi Tianhao!

Xiao Yan was the cardinal disciple under Lin Feng, and his status could not be denied. However, in the eyes of the outside world, he was not as eye-catching and 'attractive' as his junior, Shi Tianhao.

On one hand, it was because Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao's identities and family backgrounds were slightly more special. On the other hand, it was also because Xiao Yan was previously a shut-in on top of Mount Yujing.

Since the battle outside Shazhou city and the epic battle against the crown prince of the Great Qin Empire, Shi Chongyun, on top of Xingyun Peak, Xiao Yan disappeared from everyone's vision.

It was like the blooming of a flower and the surge of a shooting star across the sky.

During the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai afterwards, Xiao Yan was absent, and neither did he participate in the battle of Mount Kunlun. Even during the expedition to the Secret Manual of Kun Peng, Xiao Yan was a no-show.

Not only did he not participate in the great many important expeditions of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Xiao Yan did not even show himself to outsiders a single time.

It came to a point where some people thought Zhu Yi was the cardinal disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Even Wang Lin, who had a sudden and quick ascension from the foundation establishment beginner stage to the aurous core beginner stage, caught more people's attention than Xiao Yan did.

The once-great cardinal disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders became dormant and silent just like that.

It was only today that Xiao Yan reappeared in the world. He was like a tyrannical monster awakened from his deep sleep as he took down everybody else in the Yu Family, excluding the immortal soul stage cultivator Yu Xintao, and very nearly flattened the Yu Family by himself!

Such a performance could not be ignored by the troupe of immortal soul stage elders.

As they watched Xiao Yan and Shi Tianhao, they turned back towards Lin Feng and their expressions became a lot more solemn. "He actually nurtured disciples like that, and it's not just the two of them. There are other disciples under his wing…"

Lin Feng watched the Xuanlin Holy Man quietly before he said plainly, "If that's the case, then you and I will await this meeting in peace. This is the first time our disciples have formally interacted – we shall meet again in a month."

When he brought Shi Tianyi's illusion forth, the Xuanlin Holy Man's expression had already returned to his original composure. He matched Lin Feng's gaze with a similar casual look and answered, "Everything will be revealed in a month's time."

And with that, Shi Tianyi's light illusion vanished. The Xuanlin Holy Man himself also began to retreat back into the void, and the female cultivator beside him heaved a little sigh before vanishing behind him.

The Xuanming Holy Man, Yu Xintao looked like death. He glared at Lin Feng with furious eyes but did not say anything.

The Theorem of Xuanming's original soul could be considered to be completely destroyed. The Xuanming Bow, which had no rightful owner, was captured by Xiao Yan using the Flaming Dragon Celestial Armor.

Lin Feng glanced at Yu Xintao casually out of the corner of his eye. He extended his hands and grabbed the trembling Xuanming Bow with a grip so tight that the Xuanming Bow lost all livelihood as it was held down by Lin Feng's mana.

Blood shot into Yu Xintao's eyes as his face became even darker. The only problem was that there was nothing he could do to retrieve his family magic treasure and could only retreat after the Xuanlin Holy Man and the others.

"Yu Xintao – who gave you the permission to leave?"

At this point, Lin Feng's voice rang out again into the sky.

Yu Xintao froze. The Xuanlin Holy Man's brows furrowed into a frown as he watched Lin Feng with an expressionless face.

Lin Feng casually matched his gaze and muttered something under his breath, as if he was talking to himself. "Some people can leave, but some cannot."

This statement did not seem to be just directed at Yu Xintao. The Xuanlin Holy Man's eyes began to sparkle.

Lin Feng turned away from him and his eyes swept the Yu Family ancestral ground that lay in ruins. There were a few remaining members of the Yu Family.

"I do not like to kill. The nascent soul stage cultivators that pursued Tianhao's family with the intention to kill have all been eliminated. The other unrelated members of the Yu Family will not be touched." Lin Feng said plainly, "But do remember: Whoever messes with the Celestial Set of Wonders will be eradicated from the face of the earth."

His eyes turned back towards Yu Xintao. "Yu Xintao, I have already let you go once on Mount Kunlun. This time, you can't escape anymore."

The female cultivator from the Great Void Sect frowned a little as well. "You have already destroyed the Theorem of Xuanlin and flattened the Yu Family ancestral ground. All grudges and vengeances have already been resolved – do not be too overbearing and cross the line."

"It wasn't easy for the Xuanming Holy Man to reach the immortal soul stage. Any immortal soul stage cultivator is extremely valuable to the human world of cultivation. Why do you wish to eliminate him?"

Lin Feng smiled casually. "It's imperative that we unite the powerhouses of the human world of cultivation against the demonic races. It's for the same reason that I have to do what I have to do."

He pointed towards the black-faced Yu Xintao. "When the two worlds clash in the future, I do not wish to see some people backstab allies."

"I'm not afraid, but I hate it," Lin Feng continued. "Therefore, this is a problem and I will remedy it immediately."

Chapter 530: Another display of firmness!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Xuanlin Holy Man watched Lin Feng in silence as his eyes flickered with light.

"Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders – you have crossed the line."

Lin Feng casually brushed off the comment and replied, "The lines that others have drawn are not representative of my own."

As he said those words, Lin Feng wasted no more time and pushed out his palm slowly towards Yu Xintao in the distance and his fingers closed into a grip.

The Heaven and Earth Destroyer!

The space and void in front of Lin Feng immediately shattered into nothingness. The empirical elements of matter – fire, earth, water and air – began to surge around and subsequently transformed into spatial turbulence as the world shook.

Yu Xintao's face changed. Lin Feng's spell was incredibly aggressive, and if he had the protection of the Theorem of Xuanming he would have a chance to survive the attack, but now that the Theorem of Xuanming was destroyed and he was heavily injured as well, there was nothing he could do in the face of Lin Feng's Heaven and Earth Destroyer – he could only await his own demise.

A small sphere of light appeared on the Xuanlin Holy Man's forehead, much like a tiny round mirror.

This mirror sparkled with reflections and resembled the Sun's light shining down on everything in the world.

The Great Void Treasure Mirror of the Heavens!

The light reflecting from the mirror was like Heaven's eye watching the world with indifference and without any emotion. Yet, it seemed to hold everything and dictate everything.

It was like the unconditional and boundless love of the heavens for all beings underneath, yet it was also emotionless as it observed every living being in silence.

Under this divinely gaze, everything seemed to be watched by a divine force and nothing dared to make a move.

All the chaotic elements – fire, earth, water and air – that were rolling around gradually became fixated and frozen in place under this divine gaze.

Lin Feng's facial expression remained unchanged. He flashed a faint smile and changed a spell in his right hand. A formless and colorless hurricane suddenly swept up the earth all around.

The Four Appearances Heaven Cleaving Script. Wind. The Universal Light and Holy Wind.

"The vastness of the world is but an instant, and in in a single flash of light a thousand years has past." Following Lin Feng's slow chant, the scene in the void began to change once again. The Great Void Treasure Mirror of the Heavens' divine light suddenly disappeared into nothingness, and Lin Feng's Heaven and Earth Destroyer's chaotic elements began to surge around once again.

This was not because Lin Feng overcame the Xuanlin Holy Man's Great Void Treasure Mirror of the Heavens by force. It was simply because his Universal Light and Holy Wind spell reversed that instance of time and rendered the Great Void Treasure Mirror of the Heavens spell back into nothingness.

The chaotic swelling of the turbulence was like the apocalypse of the earth as everything flooded towards Yu Xintao.

The Xuanlin Holy Man shook his head faintly as his left hand changed a stance and cast another spell. In an instant, boundless spell power erupted and rippled forth.

A spell of the Great Void sect, the Chronograph Reversal.

Under the direction of the Xuanlin Holy Man's mana, the space all around him began to churn and spin as everything suddenly reverted back to its original state – back to when the power of the Great Void Treasure Mirror of the Heavens fixated the four empirical elements in place.

The power of the Chronograph Reversal negated the effects of Lin Feng's Universal Light and Holy Wind spell. This spell was apparently the perfect counter to the Universal Light and Holy Wind spell.

In a shortest of moments, the elements of the earth spiraled and transformed and everybody watch on with stunning excitement.

Lin Feng and the Xuanlin Holy Man had already clashed with each other multiple times in a span of time when normal people could not even react. Both parties unleashed higher order mantras and neither was willing to compromise for the other.

At this exact moment, both Lin Feng and the Xuanlin Holy Man changed stances and took new measures.

The Xuanlin Holy Man's left eye suddenly erupted with brilliant colors, and a transparent jewel with a million-edges flew out from within. Uncountable rays of divine light enveloped Yu Xintao in an instant and masked him atop the layers of space in the sky.

The layers stacked over each other and transformed into innumerable mirror-planes. Yu Xintao seemed to exist in every mirror surface, and real could not be distinguished from illusion as the mutability was far too complex.

This was his personal magic item, the Thousand-Edge Flowing Radiance Mirror. He combined its power with space-time to create planes that integrated reality and illusion. Every instance was real, but in the next moment it also became an illusion.

Faced with this new spell, Lin Feng waved his hands once again and a giant purple banner with flashes of the seven colors of the rainbow flew up into the sky.

Beside the purple banner was a huge black stele, and the words "Eternal Night" were engraved on the surface of this stone.

The Xuanlin Holy Man frowned upon witnessing this. "The Eternal Night Demonic Stele of the Night Demon Sect? This magic treasure has been lost for millennia."

"Hold on. Could it be that this magic item was discovered by the Golden Roc and the Qiong Qi, and was used as material to set up the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation, and ended up in yours hands in the Cloud Forest World?"

Lin Feng smiled but did not respond to his question. He continued to channel his mana but the Eternal Night Demonic Stele did not seem to react. Nothing appeared to be happening, but a gargantuan pulverizing force that felt like it could cause the entire world to descend into hibernation permeated the surroundings.

Heaven and Earth seemed to darken. Nothing could be heard and there was no light either, space could no longer be perceived and the passage of time could no longer be felt.

The world seemed to have descended into a state of eternal night and darkness, devoid of all sources of light and everything slipped into never-ending slumber.

The powers of the Eternal Night Demonic Stele negated the mutable transformations of the Thousand-Edge Flowing Radiance Mirror. Even though it could not completely suppress the mirror itself, it still managed to force the mirror to redirect all its power to protect itself, and it had no choice but to lete Yu Xintao out of its protection.

The moment Yu Xintao showed himself, the giant purple banner swaying in the sky began to spiral and threatened to whisk Yu Xintao away with its powerful suction.

The Xuanlin Holy Man's expression turned a little more serious. His right eye erupted into another burst of brilliant light as a set of stone stairs flew out from within. This was another powerful magic item and it resembled a stairway to heaven. Yu Xintao landed on top of it, and was instantly about to rocket into the sky.

An immense force that could turn the world upside down carried Yu Xintao away from the suction of the giant purple banner.

Lin Feng remarked plainly. "Your magic treasures are good. I can't help but wonder – just how many do you have?"

As he spoke, a ray of light flashed out from between his eyes. The Flaming Dragon Celestial Armor transformed into a ray of flowing light – there was no need for a wearer, and the Flaming Dragon Celestial Armor blasted across the sky and crashed on top of the stone stairs.

The flight of stone stairs trembled violently and Yu Xintao immediately crashed down.

The Xuanlin Holy Man was about to cast another spell to rescue Yu Xintao, but Lin Feng intercepted him. It was this tiny moment of hindrance that gave the rainbow-colored Purple Banner time to unleash its suction power and immediately sucked Yu Xintao inside.

Between flashes of purple light, Yu Xintao howled in agony as he released his black ice crystal-like immortal soul avatar in a last-ditch attempt to resist – but to no ultimate avail.

Uncountable numbers of glyphs and runes were cast into the black ice crystal as they formed something of a picture that became solidly imprinted upon Yu Xintao's immortal soul avatar.

The Celestial Sword Elder, the Thunderclouds Holy Man and Shi Zongyue were all taken back. "This is…"

The Xuanlin Holy Man glared at Lin Feng's giant purple banner. "You imprisoned his immortal soul?"

Lin Feng grabbed the Giant Purple Banner and shook it ever so lightly. Light shadows flickered on the banner's surface as Yu Xintao's figure appeared. He seemed to be in intense agony, but was unable to resist at all.

"Protect the power of the human world of cultivation, eh?" Lin Feng said plainly. "No problem. I will take into account that it wasn't easy for him to attain the immortal soul and so I shall keep him alive. However, the death sentence can be lifted but his guilt cannot be acquitted. He has disturbed and messed with the Celestial Sect of Wonders three times in total, and he will get what's coming for him."

"I will not mess with him and neither will I torture him. I will not re-forge his immortal soul either. Even though he's up in my Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner, he will still be able to absorb the spiritual energy of the world and continue cultivating."

"If the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses are to clash violently in the future, I will send him to the front lines to redeem himself. He will determine his own fate."

Lin Feng's eyes turned towards the Xuanlin Holy Man as he said quietly, "Under my watch, I will give him a chance and let him live."

The female cultivator beside the Xuanlin Holy Man said rather gloomily, "Imprisoning another's immortal soul may keep him alive, and he may still continue cultivating, but he will no longer have any form of freedom or autonomy, and his life will be in your hands. What difference is that from death?"

"He might as well be dead. You…"

She said no more. An action such as this was typically seen only amongst demonic sects. However, because she was just retorted with Pang Jie's actions with the same line of accusation, she could not really use the same argument.

Lin Feng's expression was casual as ever. "This magic item has been completed for a long time now. Yu Xintao is the first person to land himself on the banner. I live by my golden rule: If you don't disturb me I will not disturb you. His fate is purely of his own doing."

"If you do not wish me to imprison his immortal soul, that's okay as well. I can always just take his life."

During the Heavenly Cart Peak Sword Conference, even though Lin Feng sliced Xin Longsheng's avatar in two and imprisoned the Shaoyang and the Grand Moon swords, he did not kill anybody and let the Mount Shu Sword Sect return in peace.

However, he displayed another act of firmness today. Everybody could not help but think back to the battle of Mount Kunlun a year ago when he mercilessly defeated and killed the Heavenly Wind Holy Man and incarcerated the Golden Crow Grand Sage.

The Xuanlin Holy Man stared straight at Lin Feng. The bountiful emotions in his eyes gradually subsided and eventually returned to a state of composure. It felt as if all things under the world would be ultimately laid to ruin as the mana surrounding his body grew ever vaster.

At this moment, a streak of cloud energy cascaded from the sky and instantly enveloped him and the female cultivator beside him.

A voice came out from the clouds. "That's enough for today."

The Xuanlin Holy Man's vision changed a little. The complex emotions resurfaced once again and he glanced at Lin Feng one last time before he let himself get carried away by the rolling clouds.

The clouds meandered and spiraled and the two of them were back on Mount Baiyun in no time.

"Senior." The Xuanlin Holy Man greeted respectfully towards the voice in the clouds. An immense surge of willpower came forth from the cloud energy, much like the God of the world that was omnipresent, omniscient and was so vast that this entity could not be detected.

"Xuanlin, you have been hasty."

As a member of the Great Void Sect's Supreme Elder Council, the immortal soul third level Xuanlin Holy Man bent forward with respect. "You are right, sir."

"The conservative faction has also been hasty," that willpower continued to speak. "You have let the Celestial Sect of Wonders hinder our progress, and you also let them clean up the scene. Yet it did not occur to any of you that there's a time and place for everything."

The voice paused momentarily and resonated once again. "The Xuanlin Holy Man shall report this issue with the leader of the Yu Family to Shi Tianyi."

The Xuanlin Holy Man stumbled before Lin Feng and was unable to protect Yu Xintao. This was already a great humiliation, and now he was tasked to report this incident to Shi Tianyi – his embarrassment was never going to end.

However, he did not hesitate at all and nodded his head in acknowledgment. "I am accountable."

When Shi Tianyi received the news, his expression did not change at all and he simply closed his eyes in silence. After a long moment, he opened his eyes and his four pupils sparkled as he spoke.

"Senior Elder, can you please make preparations for me – I wish to enter the Void Battleground."

The Void Battleground was considered something of a place of no return for many people. However, everything had an exception. The Great Void Sect devised a way to enter the Void Battleground freely, but the opportunity was rare and precious. It was so rare that every disciple of the Great Void Sect could only enter the Void Battleground once in his entire lifetime.

"The Void Battleground has a magic treasure that can improve my battle prowess."

Chapter 531: To Everyone's Attention

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Yu Xintao, whose immortal soul was incarcerated by Lin Feng inside the Heavenly God-Sealing Banner, could only watch as the Xuanlin Holy Man and his partner were swept away by the white cloud energy. His expression gradually changed to hopelessness.

His last chance of survival had finally evaporated.

The other onlookers, Shi Zongyue and the Prince Xian of the Right were also slightly shocked that the outcome was the Great Void Sect stepping aside.

The Celestial Sword Elder and the Thunderclouds Holy Man exchanged another look as they thought to themselves, "All shall be concluded in a month's time."

As thoughts rolled around in their heads, they turned to look at Lin Feng as he retrieved his Heavenly God-Sealing Banner, the Eternal Night Demonic Stele, along with the Flaming Dragon Celestial Armor. They could only force out a laugh. "Everybody thinks the foundations of the Celestial Sect of Wonders are weak, but this leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders actually has so many magic items in his possession."

Lin Feng retrieved his magic items and turned to look at the Celestial Sword Elder and the others. He flashed a faint smile and said, "I forged a couple of new magic items, please don't laugh at me."

The Celestial Sword Elder and the others shook their heads at the concurrently. With their powers, they could tell that Lin Feng's magic items – besides the Eternal Night Demonic Stele which was in the Metaplasia stage and was not forged by him – were all only in their Gestation stages. They were all newly forged.

Even so, they were extremely dominant and formidable and nobody could take them lightly.

Lin Feng looked towards the Thunderclouds Holy Man and the Celestial Sword Elder and said, "I cordially invite the both of you to our glorious ceremony one month afterwards – do come."

The two of them nodded with smiles on their faces. "Even though it's just disciples showing down, it's still considered a grand event. We will be there."

Lin Feng greeted Shi Zongyue and Prince Xian of the Right before he took Xiao Yan and Shi Tianhao and disappeared into the void.

The group of people watched Lin Feng vanish with his disciples and just stood there in silence as they contemplated a great many things.

Then they turned to look at the Yu Family ancestral ground, which was now but a pile of rubble, before they turned towards the direction where the Xuanlin Holy Man and company withdrew towards. They could all feel that the battle that just transpired had far-reaching consequences.

Everything else could be temporarily overlooked, but one point was clear.

Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders now had a solid and undeniable status in the Divine Lands and could no longer be underestimated.

Anybody that wanted to plan something had to consider Lin Feng's reaction and his opinions into their calculations.

A middle-aged man sat majestically on top of a dragon throne inside the royal palace within the capital of the Great Qin Empire, Xiling city. He wore a trailing dragon robe and carried himself like a king – it was Shi Yu, the current Qin Emperor.

In front of Shi Yu was a scholarly-looking male. He looked gentle but his eyes were deep, like an ocean that could absorb everything, but with a bottomless depth and felt completely unpredictable. It was the prime minister of the Great Qin Empire, Wu Qingrou.

Wu Qingrou sighed faintly. "Your majesty is confident that 'Little Shi' will emerge victorious against 'Big Shi?'"

Shi Yu replied audibly, "Yes, I do favor Shi Tianhao's chances."

Wu Qingrou said, "Neither Shi Tianyi nor Shi Tianhao can ascend to the throne of the Great Qin Empire by rightful way."

There were rumors going around the outside world that the crown prince, Shi Chongyun, was talented but had no morals. He was inadequate to succeed the throne as his personality was not suitable to be a king.

The only problem was that Shi Yu had very few sons. The only person who achieved a respectable measure of success was Shi Chongyun. There was a period of time when the legendary Man of Polycoria, Shi Tianyi was called to be adopted by the royal family and people clamored to tout him as the next successor to the throne.

However, this was not entirely just a rumor. There was indeed a period of time when Shi Yu did consider this possibility.

He was not worried that Shi Tianyi would find ways to expand the power and influence of the Shi Family as he was born into the Shi Family. If Shi Tianyi ascended to the throne, the people backing him would not be the Shi family. The levels that he would eventually attain with his potential and talent meant that he could never be a puppet of the Shi family.

If Shi Tianyi ascended to the throne, he would naturally perceive things from the perspective of the Qin Emperor. With particular respect to controlling the powers of big families within the empire, it was entirely possible that he would employ even more aggressive and brutal measures compared to Shi Yu.

The adoption process was ultimately a big deal and Shi Yu could not make up his mind. At the same time, the discussion regarding his adoption by the royal family was also garnering momentum and Shi Yu decided not to conclude the matter.

What made up Shi Yu's mind was the fact that Shi Tianyi joined the Great Void Sect and became one of their core disciples.

He became a core disciple of the Great Void Sect. He could be said to be the core of the core, and the legend of the legends. The Great Qin Empire could never let someone like this become emperor – not even the position of crown prince.

Shi Yu watched Wu Qingrou as he said, "Shi Tianyi can't do it, and neither can Shi Tianhao."

Wu Qingrou nodded in acknowledgement. "Now we shall wait and see what the Shi Family will do."

Shi Yu adjusted the crown on his head and continued, "I have already given them a chance."

Wu Qingrou smiled faintly as Shi Yu turned once again to look at him. "You should be rather happy with what is happening right now, eh?"

"To be honest, not really." Wu Qingrou's expression was little complex and indecipherable. "It has already exceeded my predictions."

His eyes became ever so deep and enigmatic. "The mutability that the Celestial Sect of Wonders brought is indeed great."

Mount Tongtian, the home of the Heavenly Master Sword Sect. They were also the second most influential sword sect of the Nine Heavenly Sword Alliance.

The Celestial Sword Elder had already returned to the mountain and was now sitting inside the sword pavilion on the mountaintop. His legs were crossed and there a few human figures formed from sword Qi drifting about in front of him. The person at the front was a middle-aged man wearing a green robe with a sword aura that shot into the sky. He was the leader of the Heavenly Master Sword Sect, the Heavenly Master Swordmaster.

"Senior Uncle, thank you for your contribution."

The Celestial Sword Elder greeted the Heavenly Master Sword Sect. "You are too kind. I have seen much from this journey."

After returning the greeting, the Heavenly Master Swordmaster sat down and the other figures behind him greeted the Celestial Sword Elder respectively.

The Celestial Sword Elder was the first to speak. "From the looks of it, the rise of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is unstoppable."

The Heavenly Master Swordmaster replied, "In a month's time, the cousins shall fight it out inside the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land. If the Man of Polycoria emerges victorious, then the reputation of the Celestial Sect of Wonders will surely be affected adversely."

"If the Man of Polycoria is defeated, then we will have to wait and see what the Xuanlin Holy Man will do. Once chaos breaks out, then there will be a lot of mutable factors."

"The old enemies of the Celestial Sect of Wonders will swarm down upon them."

The Celestial Sword Elder nodded his head slowly. "The Radical Faction of the Great Void Sect will not accept defeat. If the Man of Polycoria wins the battle, then that's still okay, but if he is defeated then things will surely turn nasty."

"If the Man of Polycoria wins the fight, things will turn nasty nonetheless," The Heavenly Master Swordmaster was a little drifty with his speech. "Previously, nobody believed that that the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders will antagonize the Great Void Sect for the sake of one of his disciples."

"However, after what just transpired today, he has showed his determination. Using his words, there are just some things that can't be compromised."

The Celestial Sword Elder continued. "That is correct. People say that the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders protects the week and seeks justice – from the looks of it, every bit is true, and more."

The Heavenly Master Swordmaster's gaze swept across the other people in the sword pavilion. These were all the immortal soul stage powerhouses of the Heavenly Master Sword Sect. "Today, we have also showed our position in the matter. We have also completed the task we have taken up. We will have to wait and see what happens next."

The Celestial Sword Elder and the others nodded their heads in consensus.

Amongst the Western Shu mountain ranges, six tall mountains that resembled sharp swords rippled with sword auras and acted as pillars for a single mountain levitating in mid-air.

This was the home of the Mount Shu Sword Sect.

At this moment, of the six different peaks, several people sat facing each other within one of the great halls inside one of the mountains. Their expressions were gloomy and complicated.

"There is infighting within the Great Void Sect, and now the Celestial Sect of Wonders have gotten themselves involved. This is our chance to exact vengeance and take revenge for past humiliations," this person was the Shaoshang Swordmaster, and his face was as serious as ever. "We have to retrieve the Shaoyang and the Grand Moon sword."

The Shaoze Swordmaster and the Lixiong Swordmaster's faces were both dark and gloomy. The Guanchong Swordmaster beside them was also cold like a statue.

His Virtual Entity was destroyed and he regressed into the immortal stage first level. He suffered the greatest loss at the Heavenly Cart Peak Sword Conference.

The middle-aged man sitting in the main seat had an immense and stable aura. He was the Shaoyang Swordmaster, and stayed back to anchor the Shu Mountains and was absent during the Heavenly Cart Peak Sword Conference.

"The leader of the sect and the other elders are still shutting themselves in. If they're not going out, the bunch of you wish to humiliate yourselves even more?" The Shaoyang Swordmaster remarked plainly.

The Shaoshang Swordmaster started to frown. "Shaoyang, the heirloom of your branch has been lost!"

Behind the Shaoyang Swordmaster stood the Qingtian Swordmaster. He was present at the Heavenly Cart Peak Sword Conference on behalf of the Shaoyang Swordmaster, and his face was flushed with guilt.

On the other side, the Yingyue Swordmaster of the Grand Moon Sword also displayed expressions of guilt and embarrassment.

The Shaoyang Swordmaster continued quietly, "The leader of the sect and the other elders are not leaving the mountain. If the you guys seek out the Celestial Sect of Wonders by yourselves, you will definitely lose the other four swords as well."

The Shaoshang, Shaoze, Lixiong and Guanchong Swordmaster's faces all changed.

"Yes, it is true that we lost to the Celestial Sword of Wonders at the Heavenly Cart Park Sword Conference, which can also be partially attributed to our inability to conjure the complete version of the Six Mountains Celestial Sword Formation. But now, how can we complete the sword formation?"

The Shaoyang Swordmaster continued with a steady pace. "I do not have my Shaoyang Sword. Even though Guanchong has his sword, his Virtual Entity is destroyed. As for the Grand Moon Sword branch, Yingyue has not even completed the Virtual Entity and the Grand Moon Sword has also been lost. If we seek out the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders now, we will just be going down the same path as what happened back during the Heavenly Cart Peak Sword Conference."

The Shaoze Swordmaster let out a heavy sigh. After a long pause, he said, "Yes, you are right. The current circumstance may be chaotic, but how can we be more hopeful of others rather than our confidence in our own ability?"

"It was my who erred," The Shaoshang Swordmaster said truthfully, "The Shu Mountains have been too prosperous and life has been too smooth. Even I have lost my way."

The Shaoyang Swordmaster said quietly, "We shall wait for the leader of the sect to leave the mountain before making a decision. After the battle at the Heavenly Cart Peak Sword Conference, similar to the expedition to the Cloud Forest World, he has reaped much benefits. His reclusion up in the mountain along with the other elders may lead to some important breakthrough."

He continued slowly. "Furthermore, we may still be able to catch the opportunity before the month is up…"

Upon hearing his words, the others' eyes began to sparkle.

On top of Mount Yujing, Lin Feng stood upright at the tip of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree. Xiao Yan and company were standing in front of him.

Lin Feng was looking at Xiao Yan with a face of amusement. "It felt good just now, did it now? Are you feeling the consequences now?"

Xiao Yan forced out a laugh and replied, "The difficulty and danger of fusing three different primordial fires cannot be compared to that of fusing two together. I could feel that I was this close to failure, but I never gave up from the beginning till the end – I finished the job after all."

"Still, I have expended way too much energy. Even with the protection of your magic item, I could still feel the life being sucked and squeezed out of me. This was even more tiring than the trip to Xingyun Peak when I first fused the primordial fires together."

Chapter 532: Lin Feng's Realization

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

After an epic battle, the cardinal disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Xiao Yan, was now renowned across the Divine Lands.

He possessed four different types of primordial fires, and defeated and killed three nascent soul advanced stage grandmasters – amongst other nascent soul stage cultivators – when he himself was only in the aurous core advanced stage. He devastated the Yu family's residence in Xiling city all by himself.

After using Lin Feng's Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi to break the Yu Family's defense magic formation, along with the help of Lin Feng's spell body which tied up Yu Xintao's hands, Xiao Yan subsequently flattened the Yu Family ancestral home.

This battle glorified his name as everybody in the world knew about his endeavors. The Yu Family thus became a mere stepping stone to his rise to fame.

The Yu family, one of the four great families of the Great Qin Empire, was in complete ruin. Even their house leader, Yu Xintao, was imprisoned by Lin Feng inside his Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner. An influential family with a long history was left with bits and pieces; these remnants of the Yu Family would never see the light of day again.

The world finally came to know the true power of the Celestial Sect of Wonders after just one battle, and everyone became more fearful of Lin Feng as well.

However, it was also during this fight that the Celestial Sect of Wonders conflicted with the number one holy ground of the Divine Lands – the Great Void Sect. The conflict came to be as a result of the grudges between the two cousins of the Shi Family.

The battle agreement that they arranged between each other was called a 'friendly training battle' on the surface, but everybody knew that the battle between the Shi cousins would probably be a showdown to the death.

This fight was going to take place a month later, in a legendary and mythical stage known as the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land. The fight was announced to the world, and the world was watching.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was standing upright on Mount Yujing as he smiled sheepishly at Lin Feng. "Three types of primordial fires cannot be fooled around with."

Lin Feng chuckled in response. "This is a warning for you to continue practicing. The other disciples on the mountain could see everything in the battle that you just fought."

Xiao Yan curled his mouth a little. "Phew, thank god I was successful. If not, I would never get over the humiliation."

He glanced at Shi Tianhao from the corner of his eye. "Even more so for this little guy."

There was a warm smile on Shi Tianhao's face. "Do not worry, master. I will emerge victorious in the battle a month later!"

Lin Feng acknowledged his exclamation with a nod. He felt his heart skip a beat and immediately turned to the void on the other side. A gash opened up in the void, and a handsome young man with a purple robe with golden edges appeared from within – it was Miao Shihao.

The only thing was, everybody was slightly taken aback by what they saw. They could all feel that he was very different from before.

He was still the same person – his features and physical characteristics were flawless, and the energies he exuded was still the same technique that he practiced, the Illusion Charm.

However, his entire essence was different. A typically graceful and elegant Shihao had a very serious expression at this moment. There were even traces of a little anxiety. There was nothing feminine about him anymore – he looked a lot more like a talented scholar now.

Noble and awe-inspiring.

Miao Shihao greeted Lin Feng with respect and said with a straight face, "Congratulations on dampening the unreasonable dominance of the Great Void Sect."

Lin Feng watched him quietly and tilted his head downwards in acknowledgement. "Thank you, Shihao."

Shi Tianhao could not help himself and blurted out, "Mr. Miao, what is it with you today? Why… Why do I feel that you're a little different from before?"

"There's nothing different, I am still me," Miao Shihao smiled faintly as he replied, "What's real may not be real, and what may seem illusory may not be so."

"All solid matter may not be real, and everything virtual that's illusory may not be a deception after all."

His entire disposition began to change again and his whole being became feminine once again and returned to the original him that everybody was so used to.

The noble and serious look transformed into those flirtatious eyes that everybody knew. He peered at Lin Feng with watery eyes and covered his mouth as he giggled. "In the end, I have to thank you for sticking out for me!"

Lin Feng did not flash his eye whites this time, but looked at Miao Shihao with a serious expression. "Congratulations to you as well, for attaining a level of mastery on the Illusion Charm."

Miao Shihao giggled again. "That's all because of you, sir!"

He raised his head and stared into the sky before he laughed out loud to himself. "I can feel a heavy burden lifting from my chest – everything feels so much smoother and casual."

Lin Feng wasted no time and threw him into the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World. "Since that's the case, then you should go back and continue cultivating so you can realize your cosmic form in due time."

Miao Shihao finally left the scene, and Xiao Yan could feel the goosebumps all over his body. He muttered with a lingering wariness, "Every time I look at Mr. Miao, I feel extremely uneasy."

Lin Feng laughed a little in response and said, "Alright, that's enough. Go back and nurse yourself and your mana. The fusion of three primordial fires is still quite taxing for you at this point in time."

Xiao Yan nodded in acknowledgment before he turned to Shi Tianhao. "If you shut yourself in the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World for a month, it will be equivalent to spending either years in the outside world."

Shi Tianhao chortled at his suggestion. "All those time is meaningless. The powers of my abhijna and mana have already reached the peak of the aurous core stage after my previous reclusion. The gap to the formation of the nascent soul is not about mana anymore – rather, it's about the grinding of my soul and my mind. This is not something that can be attained by simply sitting down quietly in cultivation."

"It seems like I have to destroy that nascent soul stage 'brother' of mine while I'm only in the aurous core stage. Still, I will be more than happy to push him over as well if I am also in the nascent soul stage." Shi Tianhao's face turned mischievous and devious.

"However, it's still true that quiet cultivation is not the right way to attain the nascent soul. I have a feeling that this battle I am about to have with him shall be my prime opportunity for ascending to the nascent soul stage."

At this point, Shi Tianhao's face turned a little more solemn. "Right now, I wish to study the mantras that master has imparted to me and grind my own abhijnas and spells in preparation for the battle in a month's time."

Xiao Yan nodded his head and departed back to his Inferno Precipice after speaking his farewells to Lin Feng and Shi Tianhao.

There was a large company inside the Inferno Precipice at this moment. Besides Liu Xiafeng and Yan Wuwei, due to the fact that Zhu Yi had left the mountain, Xu Yunsheng, Ying Luozha and Li Xingfei were also gathered there. Typically, if they had any questions or doubts regarding cultivation and mantras, they would consult Xiao Yan, their senior uncle. (Translator's note: This translation is to remain faithful to the Chinese language. It is a title for someone of their master's generation, other than the master himself, from the same sect.)

At this moment, they were all gathered in together. Even Xu Yunsheng, who was normally more composed than the others, was flushing red with excitement and adrenaline.

The Fatty Yan Wuwei was already flailing his arms and saliva flew out of his mouth as he spoke. "So? So? What did I say previously, my master is extremely powerful, eh? The reason why he doesn't usually engage in battle with others is because he doesn't care to do so."

"If my master wants to fight, then it's going to be epic – do you guys believe me now? My master is just like the descent of the Fire God upon the earth!"

Besides the five of them, who joined the sect relatively early, there were about a dozen other youths standing around. They were second-generation disciples who were here to socialize.

Everybody was glowing with excitement. Nobody really cared that the Fatty's saliva was spraying all over their faces and the uproar continued. "Master Xiao is so powerful! Defeating nascent soul advanced stage cultivators when he himself is only in the nascent soul advanced stage! And not just one or two!"

Liu Xiafeng pulled down Yan Wuwei as he asked Wuwei to shut up in a friendly manner. He was also bursting with elation. "The fires that Master Xiao set off were truly spectacular and exciting. The first one burnt the Yu Family residence inside Xiling City to the ground, and the second one was even more fearsome. The second fire incinerated several nascent soul stage grandmasters as well, and there were even two nascent soul advanced stage cultivators amongst his victims."

"When we were rushing to join under his wing back in Shazhou city, the Yu family and the Aeolus Sect were trying to mess with us – they even tried to kidnap some of us!"

"At the battle of Kunlun, they were trying to cause trouble once again. They finally paid the price today." Liu Xiafeng sucked in a deep break and said slowly, "What goes around comes around. This is the true justice of the world."

Ying Luozha, who was typically quieter and more isolated, also felt a certain measure of joy in his heart. However, he was a little displeased with Yan Wuwei's condescending tone. Even though he was not that close to Zhu Yi, he was still unhappy about his master being put down by others.

However, the spectacular result of Xiao Yan's battle was undeniable. Ying Luozha still found it all to be extremely impressive.

He grunted once and said, "If I may speak my piece, our Grandmaster Elder* is the person that's truly powerful. He wasn't even there and he could already hold back the Yu Family's house leader. And when he arrived on scene, even the Great Void Sect had to take a step back and compromise." (*Translator's Note: This translation is to remain faithful to the Chinese language. This refers to the master of their own master – i.e., Lin Feng is Ying Luozha's Grandmaster Elder.)

"What our Grandmaster Elder said about 'All those who mess with the Celestial Sect of Wonders will be punished' is the exciting part!" Ying Luozha's eyeballs were radiating with brilliance as his lips curled into a wide smile and rows of wolf-like teeth were revealed. "I know now that I have not chosen the wrong sect!"

Once this was said, the celebratory atmosphere that everybody was sharing in became even more bloated. Nobody cared that it was Ying Luozha – with whom they usually did not interact with – who made this remark; all they knew was that this resonated in everyone's minds.

After Lin Feng defeated the Mount Shu Sword Sect at the Heavenly Cart Peak Sword Conference, he subsequently repelled an immortal soul third level elder from the Great Void Sect – the Xuanlin Holy Man. All these news of glory and success made the newer generation of the disciples ever so proud.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders was unafraid of the Great Void Sect, let alone the Mount Shu Sword Sect!

We always took back what was ours, and we claimed all our debts and settled all our justices. If you refused to return, we would beat you down till you did!

Xu Yunsheng, who was typically more composed and calm, nodded his head slowly. "We have to work even because of this. The mantle to carry on the greatness of our predecessors is ours to carry – we cannot embarrass them."

Li Xingfei continued, "Our Grandmaster Elder's name is all over the world now, and so are our masters."

"The disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders are unrivaled when fighting others of the same level of mastery!" The purple-robed young girl then repeated this statement that was now known in all four corners of the world.

"No matter which generation of disciples is in question, we have to prove to the world that this statement is still accurate!"

Even though she was a girl, her tonality and attitude stirred everyone up. "Yes, you're absolutely right!"

A ball of fire abruptly lit up in the middle of everyone. An upright figure emerged from within – it was Xiao Yan. He surveyed the group of people and laughed magnificently, "All you kids – don't just talk, walk the talk! Since all of you have this determination, don't blame me when I grind you guys doubly hard the next time around."

Everybody acknowledged at the same time. "We will work doubly hard as well!"

Lin Feng was glad to hear that the younger generation of disciples were growing closer together and were so motivated.

This was the reason for his 'live broadcast', was it not? Of course, the preamble of the 'live broadcast' was that, while we could win, we could win with flair and spectacle.

When the second generation of disciples took the entrance test, Lin Feng felt that he had overlooked some minor problems. He realized that the second generation of disciples were not that well-informed about their sect's history and successes.

For example, after the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, the second generation of disciples had no idea what Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao, Yang Qing and the others achieved.

Therefore, Lin Feng had a grand realization after that incident. He began to conduct his own journey of 'live broadcasting', and the effects were stellar from the looks of it.

"Eh?" Lin Feng was still contemplating the issue of his live broadcasts when his heart skipped a beat again and he connected his consciousness to his Avatar of Ares.

At this moment, the Avatar of Ares was inside the Void Battleground. The barren blocks of buildings were drifting about across the Spatial Turbulence. Lin Feng managed to capture Wang Lin's aura of mana from a group of structures on this side.

Chapter 533: The Events Inside the Void Battleground

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng's Avatar of Ares landed amongst the rows of structures that resembled a pile of rubble. His brows furrowed slightly as he began to feel the lines of spiritual energy flowing inside the area.

The Void Battleground consisted of mostly chaotic turbulences and spatial hurricanes. Every strand of spiritual energy was intertwined together in a tumultuous mess.

Lin Feng had to scrutinize the situation carefully. He just felt a subtle trickle of Wang Lin's mana previously.

"This feeling is not just purely mana," a flash of anxiety came over Lin Feng's face as he thought to himself, "Besides mana, there's also touch of blood…"

Wang Lin was a pure spell cultivator. His spells and mantras were sharp and acute, but his physical body was relatively weaker. Due to the effects of the powers of the Destructive Stage of the River of Styx, the strength of his physical body paled in comparison to his seniors and juniors. This was still true even when compared to cultivators from other sects.

Therefore, it was not possible that the traces and remnants of his spell power could leak out of his physical body like the other cultivators.

The only possibility that there were traces of his essence and spell power here was that he was injured – and his physical body was injured. Furthermore, the injuries were not light.

Wang Lin was crystal clear about his own shortcomings. He was always careful to protect his own physical body when engaging in battle with others, and the fact that he was physically injured at this very moment proved the danger he just faced in battle.

Lin Feng had Wang Lin's Natal Light with him. He had just detected that, for a period of time, the light of the fire became extremely weak, as if it could just extinguish any time.

Only after a prolonged period of time did the fire flourish once again – this showed that he had just experienced a close shave with death.

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao may be different in their styles of battle and the powers of their mantras and abhijnas in their respective levels of mastery, so there could be some variances in the outcomes of real battle. However, their integrated standards were all pretty much on the same line.

Xiao Yan and Shi Tianhao proved that they could hold off most other nascent soul beginner stage grandmasters with the help of nascent soul stage magic items when they were only in the aurous core beginner stage.

When they were in the aurous core intermediate stage, they could barely manage nascent soul intermediate stage cultivators. If the other party refused to escape and both parties fought to the death, Xiao Yan and the others would have to sustain severe injuries in order to defeat and kill their opponents.

Still, once they reached the aurous core advanced stage, they had no trouble overcoming a great majority of nascent soul advanced stage grandmasters one-on-one, and the formidable powers of the cosmic forms were no threat to them at all.

Then Lin Feng considered the problem at hand. When Wang Lin first entered the Void Battleground, Lin Feng had checked on him before with a strand of his consciousness. He could tell from the remnants of the spiritual energy and mana auras that Wang Lin had, after long days of cultivation, experienced the tribulations of the Yin Fire, and was well on his way to advancing to the aurous core intermediate stage.

The spatial and time turbulences within the Void Battleground were complicated and extremely convoluted. Time was also perceived differently in different spatial regions.

It was very likely that Wang Lin had stayed in an area where time passed a lot quicker than normal, which gave him more sufficient time for cultivation.

When Lin Feng observed the mana and spiritual energies of the pile of rubble again, he could tell that Wang Lin had successfully advanced to the aurous core intermediate stage.

The only problem as that his opponent was a nascent soul advanced stage grandmaster – an individual that had already materialized his cosmic form.

Lin Feng mulled over the transformations of the mana remnants and made a judgment in his mind. "It's the same bastard that landed Wang Lin into the Void Battleground."

Even though Lin Feng knew that Wang Lin's life was no longer at risk by checking his Natal Light, he was well aware that the Void Battleground was an exceptionally dangerous place even for nascent soul stage cultivators. Besides his original adversary, Wang Lin was at risk of facing other dangers, including other powerhouses who entered the Void Battleground.

"There seems to be something hidden within this pile of rubble…" An idea came to his head as he stepped around with his feet. The ground beneath him crumbled away as the entire pile of rubble seemed to implode entirely.

Under the force of Lin Feng's stimulation, the deathly quiet pile of rubble came of life with flashes of red light.

This red light was incredibly fierce; it was filled with evil, ominous, agonizing and poisonous concepts of power.

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow subtly. He did nothing else but pushed out his palms and cast the Fences of the Heavens, the Heavens Arrest spell and instantly cast the flashing red light in an iron grip and fixed it in place.

A giant figure gradually appeared from within the red light. Boundless energies of evil and catastrophic evil emanated from it.

This was a giant that was over a hundred feet tall. His body was impeccable; there was not a single blemish in the tonality of his body.

The figure was ripped and the features of his body looked like they were carved. His face was calm and no emotion could be detected from it. When his eyes opened, the universe trembled like the original chaos from the beginning of history.

There was a calamitous, destructive and brutal energy all about the gargantuan figure that instilled fear into the hearts of all witnesses.

A look of shock came over Lin Feng's face. "This is the aura and energy remnants of a shattered Virtual Entity of an immortal soul stage cultivator. It has also integrated with the mantras of a satanic sect cultivator…?"

"Oh, what a profound demonic mantra. Mantras such as this are rarely seen in the Divine Lands today."

Lin Feng scrutinized the giant figure with amusement as he began to feel the violent powers of mana from the satanic sects.

After reaching the immortal soul stage, the power in Lin Feng's original body was transferred into the Avatar of Ares. The Avatar of Ares was unafraid of taking on an immortal soul second stage cultivator one-on-one – and now all it was up against was the remains of mana stores.

He suppressed the figure mercilessly, and after mulling over the profundity of the mantras hidden within and referencing system resources, he began to form a picture in his head. "It's quite remarkable indeed. It's originated from the original satanic sect?"

A millennium ago, the human cultivators of the Divine Lands were disharmoniously coexisting with the satanic sects. There were some extremely influential and powerful satanic sects that existed for a time.

The most powerful one amongst the satanic sects was the original satanic sect. They were the leaders of the demonic world and reigned supreme over the Grand Celestial World.

When they were in their prime, even the Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Great Thunderclap Temple had to treat them seriously. They were one of the only few superpowers in history that dared to challenge the Great Void Sect's authority.

Right now, the figure that Lin Feng was holding down was that of an elder from the Ancient Satanic Sect who practiced a mantra called the Avici Scripture. Upon mastering the scripture and ascending to the immortal soul stage, he also formed his own Virtual Entity.

The only problem was that the Void Battleground was a dire place to be in, and even immortal soul stage cultivators could not confidently ensure their own safety. This satanic sect elder had also experienced multiple calamitous obstacles and, while it was still unknown whether he was still alive or not, his Virtual Entity had been shattered. At the very least, he had stumbled back to the immortal soul first stage from the second level.

His shattered Virtual Entity's power remained condensed together as such instead of dissipating away completely due to the effects of the turbulences within the Void Battleground.

If there was nobody to control it, this figure would have continued to rise in power and could even hatch a copy of the consciousness of the original owner and become one of his avatars.

Lin Feng held down the figure as he contemplated the issue. "The Avici Scripture may not be the most powerful ancient mantras of the Ancient Satanic Sect, but it's definitely not inferior to any one of the Tathagata Dharmas of the Compass. Its profundity is boundless."

"Anybody that masters the Avici Scripture below the immortal soul stage could materialize the Avici Undying Body. Even though it isn't true undeath, these people could use the satanic power of the Avici to re-forge a new physical body that is identical to the original one. They won't be afraid of injury and they will live endless lives as their physical bodies will never decay."

"In ancient times, the Ancient Satanic Sect disciples who possessed the Avici Undying Body were extremely dominant and powerful when they faced off human cultivators. The majority of their battle prowess was reliant on this particular abhijna." Lin Feng looked up into the void. "I wonder how Wang Lin is now? With his level of luck, he should have no problem finding all the mantras in this area."

Lin Feng's only worry was whether Wang Lin's destiny would experience unforeseen changes.

The human figure was retrieved into his possession and the pile of rubble no longer held any value. Lin Feng directed the Avatar of Ares and flew into the air and back into the spatial turbulence above.

"Besides Wang Lin's, the situation of Tianhao's parents is also extremely worrying…"

A large army was stationed at the Western edge of the Great Zhou Empire's, right at the border of the Great Qin Empire. There was a formidable aura surrounding the army.

The person anchoring this great army was the number one figure of the Great Zhou Empire military's Youth Blood Faction, the Marquis of Jinghuan.

A giant black banner was positioned outside the leader's tent. The banner swayed in the wind with flowing pride and elegance. Every soldier that laid his eyes upon the giant banner immediately swelled with pride and honor.

The Marquis of Jinghuan stood upright inside the tent with his hands behind his back, and was looking at a map in the corner of the tent. There were several other people standing behind him.

Of the two right at the front, one was an armored soldier, and the other was a middle-aged man wearing a dragging white robe. Both of them had intimidating mannerisms, and their mana ripples were also extremely fearsome. They were the two nascent soul advanced stage powerhouses under the wing of the Marquis of Jinghuan.

The white-robed male opened his mouth and spoke with a deep voice. "Sir, these are troubled times. If you venture into the Void Battleground now and something happens back in the Greater World, you may not be able to get back in time."

The Marquis of Jinghuan shook his head in disagreement. "That's not a problem. My entry and exit from the Void Battleground is a lot easier than most others. Even though I cannot proceed back and forth at whim, it's nothing too difficult."

"There are many treasures and items waiting for me to retrieve inside the Void Battleground. It's precisely because these are troubled times that we have to prepare for the storm ahead."

He laughed a little and continued, "Furthermore, a lady that I have eyes for is also going into the Void Battleground. She is finally out of the protection of her family, and I will not let an opportunity such as this go.

The armored soldier said, "Sir, let me accompany you."

The Marquis of Jinghuan waved his hand at the soldier. "You shall anchor down the camp while I'm gone. I will leave the God-Slayer Puppet in your hands for your convenience in handling things should they happen."

He turned to look at the white-robed middle-aged man. "This time, may I request Mr. Bai to accompany me instead."

The armored soldier and the middle-aged man nodded their heads in acknowledgment. "As you wish, sir."

Over at an ancient and barren middle world, a grand and sprawling city stood alone at the end of the plains. Even though the pavilions within the city were not gilded with jewels or sparkling with gold, the aura they possessed was proud and arrogant. There was an unusual antiquity about everything.

A royal air permeated from within, much like that from a royal palace.

The fact that this 'royal air' came from a patch of barren plains caused it to appear a little decayed and broken. However, upon closer inspection, there was a trace of a nirvana-like aura that was nurturing within as it laid in wait for the return of the king.

A young girl wearing a light-green skirt was standing inside one of the halls. She was slim and elegant, and thin purple belt was strapped around her waist. This accessory made her hips a lot more attractive.

Smooth and flowing hair reached below her shoulders, almost right down to her waist. Her long and attractive body was pure and clean, and she resembled a green lotus flower blooming in the human world – out of the norm, yet still full of vigor and life.

A person was high-kneeling in front of her respectfully, and was quietly recounting a story. "… Afterwards, the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders forced back the Xuanlin Holy Man of the Great Void Sect before he left. Mr. Xiao followed him back."

A bright smile immediately flashed across the young lady's face. "My Xiao Yan, is now a world-renowned figure!"

The person in front of her watched her momentarily and hesitated before he continued. "Everybody has already recognized Mr. Xiao Yan's power. Since that's already the case, you… you still want to enter the Void Battleground?"

The young lady answered softly. "Of course. Xiao Yan is getting stronger by the day, and I have to follow in his footsteps. If I remain in this place without moving forward, how can I accompany him for eternity?"

Chapter 534: A Kill Is A Kill

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The young lady in the greet skirt strolled around between the pavilions and arrived in one of the great halls. There was nobody inside, but a voice appeared out of nowhere. "Are you ready, Zhener?"

This young lady was Xiao Zhener, who had been separated from Xiao Yan previously. She replied quietly, "Yes, father. I have already made my preparations for my journey to the Void Battleground."

There were no Void Lightning Tribulations inside middle worlds. Therefore, any cultivator inhabiting a place like this could only attain the aurous core advanced stage at best.

To form the nascent soul, they had to venture out into the Greater World.

However, due to a variety of reasons, many of the border crossings between the known middle worlds and the Greater World were watched and scrutinized by many entities. The aurous core stage cultivators that wish to travel to the Greater World to experience the Void Lightning Tribulations would be hindered by a great many things.

Many mutually beneficial exchanges and deals were made and involved in this matter. Naturally, some people would have nascent soul stage elders accompanying them in their journey as they found a way to enter the Greater World secretly. However, doing so would have uncertain consequences.

In the middle world that Xiao Zhener was born in was a little different from other middle worlds like the Ancient Yuantian World. The people that wanted to venture out into the Greater world would attract a lot more attention than otherwise.

If these people wanted to find another path to avoid attracting too much unwanted attention, there was indeed another way – through the Void Battleground.

Even though the Void Battleground existed also existed on another spatial dimension, it was different from most middle worlds. There were void hurricanes all around, but it was also full of Void Lightning Tribulations.

It was because of the existence of Void Light Tribulations that aurous core stage cultivators were willing to take the risk to enter the Void Battleground. The only issue was that if their levels of mastery were not high enough it was highly likely that they would be struck by lightning and burned into dust in no time.

Besides the Void Lightning Tribulations, there were a great many other dangers within the Void Battleground. This place was a harsh environment that threatened even the lives of nascent soul stage cultivators, let alone aurous core stage ones. Even immortal soul stage powerhouses could not be too sure about their own safety.

This was the reason why cultivators from middle worlds did not choose to venture into the Void Battleground for the tribulations unless they had no other choice.

If exceptions existed in this matter, it would be the more outstanding disciples from influential powers inside the middle worlds. They would be selected to enter the Void Battleground as a form of training while experiencing the Void Lightning Tribulations at the same time. Besides grinding the cultivator's character, that individual could also try his or her luck by searching for the magic treasures inside the Void Battleground.

Xiao Zhener was already in the nascent soul advanced stage; the adolescent girl of old that had finally matured, and was now an elegant young lady, was about to venture into the Void Battleground.

The voice from within the great hall she was in paused momentarily before it spoke out again. "Zhener, you have a great taste. Xiao Yan is indeed extraordinary."

Xiao Zhener's lips curled into a faint smile. She was elated that her father approved of Xiao Yan, so much so that she was happier than when her father complimented her.

The voice continued, "If he had relied upon himself to achieve his level of success today, I will be happy to accept him. However, the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders will become a wedge between the two of you."

The smile on Xiao Zhener's face gradually disappeared.

When Xiao Yan was in his 'wasted youth' phase, everybody in the family could not accept him to be h er husband. After his rise to fame, if not for the fact that he had the Celestial Sect of Wonders behind him, her loving father would have probably allowed the two of them to be together.

However, the existence of Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders made everything a little awkward.

It was not because the Celestial Sect of Wonders was too weak. On the contrary, it was because they were too powerful. They could hinder the paths of the family, and it was because of this that her father was indecisive.

Xiao Zhener replied quietly, "Father – man proposes, god disposes. Who can ever predict the variances in the world? Nobody will be the world's dictator forever. However, my heart for Xiao Yan is for forever."

The void fell into silence for a long while before the voice appeared again with a faint sigh. "There are many dangers inside the Void Battleground. You need to take care of yourself. The Ancient Venture Pen that I have gifted you will send you inside and protect you. However, forming the nascent soul by experiencing the Void Lightning Tribulations shall be entirely up to you."

Xiao Zhener flashed another faint smile and replied, "Father, I am your daughter."

The voice within the void began to laugh. "That is true, you are my daughter. How can you possibly fail the mere Void Lightning Tribulations? Even the Void Battlegrounds cannot hold back my daughter."

After she bid her farewells to her father, Xiao Zhener began to make her final preparations for her journey before proceeding into the Void Battleground.

She tilted her head and looked up into the void as the corner of her mouth curled upwards. "Xiao Yan, you are becoming more and more powerful. Zhener cannot fall behind, if not you'll just touch my nose and call me stupid again like you did when we were younger."

Lin Feng was currently unaware that the Void Battleground would become so happening all of a sudden. He continued to search with the Avatar of Ares inside the Void Battleground in an attempt to find Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao's parents and his grandfather.

His original body was sitting atop Mount Yujing, and he was observing the system's Popularity values.

Xiao Yan devastated the Yu family, and Lin Feng himself forced back the Xuanlin Holy Man and the Great Void Sect.

All this caused his own Popularity and that of the Celestial Sect of Wonders to skyrocket. He had also attained stellar Popularity value standards for certain regions.

This was especially true for the Great Qin Empire. Lin Feng was glad that almost every region within their borders had Popularity values of over 80.

"Oh, I am still missing something in the Great Qin Empire. Yes, I haven't been doing much over there…" Lin Feng thought to himself until he suddenly observed that his Popularity values had shot off the charts in the regions of the Great Zhou Empire.

The Popularity values in many places were actually not that high, but the latent Popularity values were extremely impressive.

Lin Feng was slightly taken aback. "What is this? Have I missed something? From the looks of it, it should be the ruckus that Zhu Yi stirred up over in the Great Zhou Empire."

Lin Feng immediately received news about Zhu Yi, who was preparing for the exam at Tianjing City. The date of the examination was slowly approaching, but he was attacked.

The result was that a nascent soul advanced stage cultivator was defeated and killed by Zhu Yi on the spot. The Great Zhou Empire was shaken up as news of this event spread to the corners of the empire.

Zhu Yi was only in the aurous core advanced stage at this point in time.

This piece of news was symmetrical to Xiao Yan's achievements in the Great Qin Empire. This produced a combined effect that amplified the reputation of the Celestial Sect of Wonders even more.

Even though his opponent was a nascent soul advanced stage cultivator, he could not be compared to the Marquis of Jinghuan, who had magic treasures in his possession. Zhu Yi's victory was smooth and easy to the point that he did not even disturb the physical spell body that Lin Feng had gifted him.

"Master, this man is under the command of crown prince of the Great Zhou Empire, Liang Yuan," Zhu Yi passed the message on to Lin Feng, "Liang Yuan plotted against me, so I retaliated and killed one of the cultivators under his command."

"This man practiced Buddhist mantras and was hoarding the willpower from incenses. He was a sinister individual as well, so his death is beneficial to society."

Zhu Yi's reason was impeccable. The Great Zhou Empire could not hold anything against him, and even had to reward him for his efforts.

However, his feud with Liang Yuan grew ever deeper.

Lin Feng said plainly, "We will treat honorable guests kindly, and we will respond in kind to devious monsters. Murderers should be put down, and for he who commits evil – a kill is a kill."

"I have found the two young ladies. It was also because of them that I figured out Liang Yuan's plans."

Zhu Yi continued, "Chen Yu, who is Liang Yuan's supporter and mentor at the same time, adopted a young girl named Luo Qingwu. He managed to obtain information from the Ancient Yuantian World that this girl has certain connections to the Celestial Sect of Wonders, so he tried to use this girl to misdirect me."

Lin Feng listened to Zhu Yi's recount attentively but could not help himself as he laughed in response.

It would appear that Chen Yu deliberately leaked the news of Liang Yuan's sinister plans against Zhu Yi to Luo Qingwu. However, his execution was not very discreet and seemed quite suspicious.

Normal people would naturally be doubtful when they received this news as they would probably feel that somebody was being framed. Somebody was trying to create conflict and tension between Liang Yuan and Zhu Yi so that this person could profit from the outcome.

Under the purposeful direction of Liang Yuan and Chen Yu, the 'spearhead' would be pointed towards their true target – the fourth prince, Liang Qian.

Liang Yuan was quite displeased with the fact that Zhu Yi was a lot friendlier with Liang Qian. However, the power of the Celestial Sect of Wonders stayed his hand as he was a little afraid to antagonize them. Chen Yu mulled over the issue with Liang Yuan's opinions and sought to use this method of framing themselves to lead Zhu Yi down the wrong path with reverse psychology.

However, in the end they shot themselves in the foot.

Lin Feng said plainly, "Liang Yuan is far inferior to his father, Liang Pan."

Zhu Yi replied, "My sentiments exactly. One has to be like a king both in appearance and in his heart. The emperor has authority and autonomy, but if he insists to employ unorthodox methods without grinding his own character, as well as using fear and satanic ways to oppress the common people, then it's really not the behavior of a proper emperor."

Lin Feng laughed again. "You can settle the issues with the Great Zhou Empire yourself."

"Yes, master." Zhu Yi replied, "Oh yes, the two young ladies wish to come to Mount Yujing for medical help."

At this point, he sighed. "It took me a bit of digging to find out about Luo Qingwu. It will be quite a pity if she lost the magic pearl within her body just like that."

Lin Feng's expression remained unchanged, but a grin appeared on his face.

Lin Feng understood the little lady's intentions with regards to her initial sassiness.

If Lin Feng had not told her that if she ran into trouble she could look for him, even if she discovered that her family wanted to send her up the mountain, her reaction would not have been so strong such that Lin Feng would be angry as well.

Due to the interactions from both parties, the little lady developed a feeling that Lin Feng was plotting with her family members.

In this case, the fact that Lin Feng was nice to her previously had a totally different meaning now, as if he was trying to deceive her into something.

The higher the hopes, the harder the fall. What was warm camaraderie before turned into a heart of ice.

Therefore, when Lin Feng first discovered this piece of news he felt a little exasperated. He was frustrated that the Luo family members were a little daft as his allies.

However, after the tantrum that she threw, she began to seriously consider her warm interactions with Lin Feng. Even though the days were short and limited, her feelings turned back around eventually. The only thing was that her skin was not so thick and she felt that she wronged Lin Feng, so she wanted to find a way to make up for her errors.

Lin Feng was crystal clear about her thoughts and intentions. However, he was not too concerned and laughed as he said, "The exam date is arriving very soon. Don't waste any more time. I will arrange with someone else for her safe return."

He cut off his voice-projection conversation with Zhu Yi can immediately called forth the Kui Cow King and said, "I'm sorry, but you have to travel to Tianjing City."

The Kui Cow King lowered its giant head and said, "Yes, sir."

Chapter 535: Rubbing Shoulders Once Again

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Kui Cow King surged across the void and hurried towards the Great Zhou Empire's capital – Tianjing City. Even though he was not known for his flying speed, he still reached his destination without much delay.

Once he reached Tianjing City, the Kui Cow King followed Zhu Yi's instructions and arrived at a small residence outside the city. This was a small property that Zhu Yi signed and purchased on his own accord, with an appropriate environment to cultivate and prepare for his exams.

The Kui Cow King changed into his human form and transformed into a tall and proud man. He entered the compound and saw Zhu Yi standing in the middle of the garden. Zhu Yi immediately greeted the Kui Cow King upon his arrival. "Thank you for making this journey."

"His level of mastery has increased a lot since he left the mountain," The Kui Cow King thought to himself as he glanced at Zhu Yi, "The disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders are all so talented and prodigious. Even the Great Void Sect doesn't have this many prodigies."

Even though he was in the demonic lord intermediate stage, he did not dare to think too take himself too seriously in front of Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao and the others. Previously, even though he was more powerful than these guys, he still respected them because of their status as Lin Feng's disciples.

But right now, their powers were beyond him. Even though he lamented a little, his respect for Zhu Yi was nothing short of a respect for Zhu Yi himself rather than his status.

The Kui Cow King replied, "It's nothing. The leader of the sect has orders for me anyway, and a journey like that is no big deal."

Zhu Yi nodded his head as he clapped his hands. Two young girls came running out – one was wearing a red shirt and the other was clad in purple.

The one wearing red was Luo Qingwu, and the girl wearing purple was Jun Zining. The two girls arrived beside Zhu Yi and curiously scrutinized the human form of the Kui Cow King. They could already feel a little bit of his power.

"This is the Kui Cow King, and he will bring the two of you back to Mount Yujing." Zhu Yi began to make his introductions.

Jun Zining finally realized that this was the Kui Cow King. She had seen the original form of the Kui Cow King before, and now that he was in his human form she could still feel a little bit of familiarity. She immediately realized what was going on from Zhu Yi's words.

She greeted the Kui Cow King with Luo Qingwu at once. "Greetings, sir."

The Kui Cow King was humble and loyal by nature and was not condescending at all. He nodded his head and replied, "Hello, you guys."

He had received instructions from Lin Feng before he arrived. He knew that his task was to bring these two little girls back to the mountain.

Even though the two little girls were only in the Qi cultivation stage, he sought to complete the task properly and impeccably since it was Lin Feng who put this task to him.

He was not about to let the two little girls climb on his back, so he immediately released a ball of demonic energy and swept them up.

Zhu Yi said, "The little girl wearing red is injured and needs to be brought back to the mountain for medical help. Time is of the essence, so I will hold you back no longer. Please forgive me."

The Kui Cow King smiled a little and replied, "You're too kind. My trip out here is purely professional, and all I wish for is to complete my task without fail. I wish you all the best with your exams, and I hope you make the honor roll."

Zhu Yi returned a greeting and laughed as well. "Thank you for your kind words."

The Kui Cow King had just left when a servant came reporting to Zhu Yi. "Master Yi, somebody is here to see you."

Zhu Yi glanced the arriving party but did not recognize the person. He looked a little closer and could faintly feel that this person completely changed his physical appearance with pills and medicine. Even his mana aura was different.

"I had to resort to this to avoid the eyes and ears of others. Do forgive me, Master Zhu Yi."

After Zhu Yi's servant removed himself from the scene, this person immediately removed his artificial appearance. He looked like a skinny old man, and immediately transformed into a proud young man.

"Oh, it's you?" Zhu Yi recognized the face that appeared in front of him. It was Chu Yang, one of the younger cultivators under the command of the fourth prince of the Great Zhou Empire, Liang Gan.

He looked up and down at Chu Yang, and even though his facial expression did not change, he was a little surprised.

This was because Chu Yang was now in the foundation establishment stage.

When they first met on Mount Yujing a year ago, Chu Yang was only on the tenth level of the Qi cultivation stage, and was not even close to completing the final level of the Qi cultivation stage.

Fast forward a year, and he was already in the foundation establishment stage. This speed could not possibly be considered slow – it was actually extremely fast.

It was sill acceptable if he had already been at Level 12 of the Qi cultivation stage before he attempted the break to the foundation establishment stage. There were times when waves of epiphanies could save a lot of precious time.

However, the road to from the Qi Cultivation Level 10 stage to the pinnacle of the foundation establishment stage meant that he had multiple checkpoints and obstacles to pass. It was really impressive that he could make such progress in such a short period of time.

He was still relatively slow when compared to Zhu Yi and the others. Even though Zhu Yi and his fellow juniors and seniors were not yet up the mountain when they were in the foundation establishment stage, Chu Yang's cultivation could never compare to Lin Feng's Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams.

Zhu Yi could tell that Chu Yang had not spent time inside caves that sped up time, and simply just grinded it out year for year.

Chu Yang just turned sixteen and he was already in the foundation establishment stage. He would be considered an outstanding disciple no matter which sect he was in.

Chu Yang's sect, the Ethereal Mountain Sect, was not considered a prominent power. It was already inferior even when compared to sects like the Aeolus Sect and the Yu Family, both which Lin Feng had previously eliminated. There was nothing much to say about their strength compared to the Celestial Sect of Wonders or the Great Void Sect.

The mantras and resources that the Ethereal Mountain Sect provided Chu Yang with could not be considered superior or very high-level, therefore his progress today was largely due to his own hard work and talent.

Zhu Yi scrutinized him momentarily but could not discover anything unusual. However, his instincts could feel a sharp feeling emanating from Chu Yang's body. Even though it was obscure and still dormant, it would break open the skies one day and soar into the heavens.

This feeling was extremely unique and mystical. There was no evidence of anything and it was simply Zhu Yi's instincts speaking.

"A man with secrets…" Zhu Yi laughed to himself but did not pay any more attention to it. At the level he was now, along with Xiao Yan and Shi Tianhao, all they had to do was continue down the same path they had been travelling on.

Zhu Yi asked plainly, "So it's you, my friend. I wonder what brings you here?"

He was clear that even though Chu Yang's standards were inferior to him, he was still in the inner circle of the fourth prince Liang Gan.

Chu Yang made his intentions clear. The main item was to give Zhu Yi an invite on behalf of Prince Liang Gan as a show of goodwill. Liang Gan hoped to meet up with Zhu Yi.

The crown prince, Liang Yuan, was ill-advised by Chen Yu and made an erroneous move. As his feud with Zhu Yi became ever deeper, the situation as taken advantage of by the fourth prince, Liang Gan. Liang Gan wanted to take the opportunity to build a rapport with Zhu Yi.

Zhu Yi's impression of Liang Gan was not too bad. He did harbor intentions to have more interaction with Liang Gan, but just not at this moment. He had to concentrate on the impending exams that he was about to take.

Both Liang Gan and Chu Yang understood that. They did not fix a time, and the message they were trying to convey was simply to invite Zhu Yi to make some time for a little gathering. It was extremely low-profile as well.

Zhu Yi would not reject an invitation like this, of course. He chatted idly with Chu Yang but began to realize that something was not quite right.

This was because he noticed that Chu Yang was not really being himself.

Even though their interactions were limited, Zhu Yi knew that this was a resilient, determined and decisive individual. Now that was a little disoriented while running an errand for Liang Gan seemed rare and out of the norm.

Over the course of their conversation, Chu Yang's eyes would subconsciously dart around Zhu Yi's courtyard. It did not seem like he was trying to spy on whatever or whoever is inside, but it did seem like he was looking for someone.

"Who are you looking for?" Zhu Yi thought to himself but did not point it out to Chu Yang. It was apparent that he was to return without a proper result, and he did not dare to use his consciousness or psychic senses to sweep the area in front of Zhu Yi. In the end, he could only depart with disappointment as he exited the courtyard with a dejected look on his face.

Zhu Yi was a little baffled. "What is this he up to? If things are unusual as such then there must be something wrong."

What he did not know was that Chu Yang was also having a headache. "Reports said that a red-clothed young girl entered Zhu Yi's courtyard. But my trip here turned up nothing. If I knew this I would have found and excuse to try and enter Chen Yu's pavilion that one time – but I can't do the same with Zhu Yi's courtyard."

Chu Yang glanced towards the west and thought to himself, "Where are you, Luo Qingwu?"

He ordered some subordinates to pay attention to the area surrounding Zhu Yi's courtyard. The reason was not to spy on Zhu Yi, however, but rather to take note of whoever went in and out of Zhu Yi's courtyard. Still, up till now they only reported Luo Qingwu's entry into the courtyard but nobody saw anybody leaving.

However, the Kui Cow King brought the two girls away directly using his demonic powers, and was naturally not something that Chu Yang's subordinates could detect.

At this moment, the girl that had Chu Yang head over heels, yet still just narrowly missed, was being escorted by the Kui Cow King and was well on her way to Mount Yujing.

The Kui Cow King did not stop at all along the way and returned to Mount Yujing as quickly as possible to report to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled as he saw them arrive and said, "Thank you for your efforts." The clapped his hands lightly and a golden sphere of water enveloped in purple energy drifted in front of the Kui Cow King. It was part of the Kun Peng's bone marrow, and contained large amounts of demonic essence within.

The Kui Cow King was elated and greeted Lin Feng with respect. "Thank you, sir."

Lin Feng laughed in response and said, "You have always been serious and efficient at completing my task. I will not lose you for anyone in the world."

The Kui Cow King answered, "Of the other demonic lords on the mountain, I am the only one leading an entire troupe of tribesmen. Everyone else is alone. The fact that you let us cultivate on top of Mount Yujing, a special place far superior to the outside world, is a great favor in itself. I do not dare to ask for any more."

Lin Feng waved his hands in dismissal and said, "Everybody that follows me that completes tasks seriously and properly shall be rewarded in kind." He pointed towards the Kun Peng bone marrow that he just produced. "This is just the start. Come and find me a while later, I have something else for you."

The Kui Cow King showed his gratitude repeatedly and left the scene at once.

There were only two timid little girls in front of Lin Feng at this moment, and they glanced at Lin Feng with uncertain eyes. When they saw Lin Feng turn his head towards them, they knelt down at once and said, "Nice to meet you, sir."

Lin Feng watched them in silence but said nothing more. He flicked his finger once and a single dot of light flew out and expanded in the sky. It transformed in the sky into a giant door and began to descend in the middle of the Two Elements of Creation Formation.

Chapter 536: Up Another Level

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Two Elements Of Creation Formation was only undergoing the Changes of Life and Death.

The dark energy of the Deathly Gas Stone surged all around, and its power could suffocate millions at once. However, under the effects of the Two Elements of Creation Formation, everything was transformed into vigorous life energy.

Uncountable glyphs and runes appeared within the magic formation and began to condense into four tiny formation maps. The four maps encircled Luo Qingwu within and every map radiated white light upon the little girls' body. Lin Feng's signature magic item, the Bell of Destiny, hovered over her head and was undergoing its first change and transformed into the Door Of Life Creation as it bore down.

The powers of the Two Elements of Creation Formation shot up into the sky and congregated upon the Door Of Life Creation as the door gradually opened up amidst the ear-splitting booms.

Vast and immense powers of life and destiny from within the Door of Life Creation poured into Luo Qingwu.

All the little girl could feel was warmth. She felt as if she was in dreamland, soaked in a pool of warm water.

The four miniature formations surrounding her began to come together as one, and they transformed into a diamond-shaped magic formation as the new body descended upon Luo Qingwu and re-integrated itself into the Two Elements of Creation Formation once again. Between flashes of brilliance and radiant light, the Two Elements of Creation Formation gradually began to change, and eventually became a gigantic diamond-shaped formation.

"Skandha Life Formation, Open!"

The magic formation revolved with dazzling speed as it responded to Lin Feng's commands and an immense volume of spiritual energy poured into Luo Qingwu's body.

The concept of power of the Door Of Life Creation contained the images of the afterlife as well as the congenial birthing power of the world's infant years. They acted upon Luo Qingwu's crumbling Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl and the effects were immediate.

The Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl did not possess a material form. It was formed via a combination of factors – from the innate Yin energy in her body, guided by the laws of nature, along with the little girl's soul and spiritual energy.

The magical pearl was riddled with scars and cracks. The Celestial Yin Spiritual Energy had almost dissipated entirely, and everything was now completely reliant on the petals of Lin Feng's Dual Polarity Divine Flower for support and maintenance.

With the effects of the Skandha Life Formation, the cracks and scars on the magical pearl began to seal themselves. The pearl had cracks that resembled a web, but was now slowly smoothening until every single blemish seemed to disappear entirely.

Blue mystical light shone on the pearl once again, and it began to exude a cooling stream of spiritual energy from within. The magical powers of the pearl resurfaced.

The Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl trembled subtly, much like a man's soul returning to his body, and was finally full of life again. It was like the sunshine after the rainstorm.

Once the pearl returned to its original state, it began to react and started to absorb the Yin energy from the spiritual energy all around it.

The Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl was only charged with Celestial Yin Spiritual Energy before diffusing it into its owner's body.

The violent consumption that it was displaying now was unprecedented.

After the little girl's Rebirth, the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl was a lot more powerful than before. The pearl was like a hungry man who had not eaten for days, and was now finally able to satiate his terrible hunger.

Under the protection of Lin Feng's Skandha Life Formation, even though the pearl was swallowing up large amounts of spiritual energy, the little girl's body could accept the inflow and remained unhurt.

Luo Qingwu was upright within the formation with her eyes closed. It seemed as if she was in a deep sleep, and with the restoration of the Heavenly Win Spiritual Pearl, her brows began to tremble and she finally opened her eyes. She could feel the changes happening within her body, and she suddenly looked like she was lost.

The period of time after the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl was damaged was the darkest time of her life. She had been fantasizing about the recovery of her body for a long time coming, and she also wondered how glad she would be if she did recover one day.

However, the Luo Family tried everything they could but were unable to find a plausible or effective method to heal her. Even the leader of the Luo family, who was in the immortal soul stage, could not do anything to help her. The many doctors from all over the world that were hired to cure her malady came up with nothing.

The Luo family had no choice but to give up, and the little girl's heart sank to the bottom of the abyss.

Back then, she felt like she had just been sentenced to death. A pretty little girl destined for greatness was suddenly doomed to crumble into dust.

Her parents loved her like they always used to, and her grandfather Luo Chi doted on her like he always did. However, they were helpless towards her ailing condition, and all the consolation they provided could not solve the core of the problem.

The little girl's last hope was to come up the mountain to seek Lin Feng's medical expertise. What she did not expect was that this was a lot easier than she had expected.

For a period of time, Luo Qingwu felt like she was in dreamland. She did not react the way she thought she would – elation, hysterical happiness to the point of tears. This was only because her good fortune arrived so suddenly and she felt a little at a loss. Everything just felt so surreal.

She calmed herself down and cast her gaze towards Lin Feng, who was also watching her with a plain look on his face. Tears came to the little girl's eyes.

"Uncle Lin…" Luo Qingwu's voice was a little weak as she knelt down in respect for Lin Feng. "Thank you Uncle Lin… Sorry, thank you sir for saving my life over and over again."

Lin Feng flashed her a faint smile and said, "Sit down and cross your legs, little girl. Control your breathing."

Luo Qingwu was stunned momentarily but followed Lin Feng's instructions and began to use her family's mantras to cultivate and meditate.

Lin Feng pushed out his right hand and flicked his fingers in the air. Flames started jumping around with clear crackling sounds.

A ball of milky white flame appeared on his fingertips. The light radiating from it was lukewarm, and even though the flames jumped around it gave people a warm feeling.

It was the Pure Yang Primordial Fire of the Seven Legendary Primordial Fires. Touted as the origin of all fire within the Grand Celestial World. The ancestor of all things burning, a pristine and pure flame that could integrate seamlessly with so many other types and the counter to all evil.

The harmony of all living things in the world and the existence of Yin and Yang was sacred law. The destiny and fates of all were irrevocable, but all things would have exceptions. The few items of pure Yang or pure Yin were the exceptions, and they were like the two poles of the Earth. It felt contrary to reason, yet at the same time fit in seamless with nature and the world.

While things of pure Yang and pure Yin existed in the world, they were ultimately considered exotic and rare and most people would never get to encounter one.

Lin Feng managed to retrieve some magic items that the Golden Roc Grand Sage and the Qiong Qi Grand Sage used to set up the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation during the battle at the Cloud Forest World. One of it was the Netherworld Purple Crystal. The crystal was one of these rare items of pure Yin, and no matter how much it was channeled, it would not turn to Yang.

As for Lin Feng's Pure Yang Primordial Fire, it was naturally one of the rare items of pure Yang without a single trace of Yin energy.

Of the Six Forms of Creation and Destruction of the Two Elements of Creation Formation, one of the changes as the Change of Yin and Yang. Lin Feng placed the Netherworld Purple Crystal inside as the representative magic item for the Change of Yin.

As for the magic item to channel the Change of Yang, Lin Feng had his eyes on the Pure Yang Primordial Fire for a very long time. Now that he had the Pure Yang Primordial Fire, Lin Feng could channel the Change of Yin and Yang to its maximum power.

Under Lin Feng's direction, the Pure Yang Primordial Fire blazed within the magic formation. The pure Yang energy was starting to change as it passed through the formation, and eventually transformed in to pure Yin energy with the Netherworld Crystal as its core. It shot out rays of purple light, which shone on Luo Qingwu's body.

Under the radiance of the purple light, Luo Qingwu's body shook and her brows furrowed lightly before smoothening out again.

The mana in her body spiraled around and the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl buzzed.

The rays of purple light surged into her body and started to blast the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl repeatedly. Under the effects of the purple light, the repaired Spiritual Pearl began to change once again.

The volume of the pearl gradually decreased and it seemed like it was vaporizing within the rays of purple light.

Subsequently, the purple light permeated to every physical spot in Luo Qingwuo's body and continually transformed her physiology. Luo Qingwu's body was eventually completely enveloped with a layer of purple light, and It looked extremely magical.

The surrounding Yin energy was previously absorbed by the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl to be refined into Pure Yin energy and stored. At the same time, the Yin energy would nourish her body. Even if the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl vanished completely, her body would continue to collect and absorb large volumes of Yin energy.

Over the course of the absorption, the Yin energy was automatically purified and the little girl absorbed everything instantaneously.

The essence of Luo Qingwu's body was undergoing a drastic change at this very moment.

An essence such as this could only be attained by one particular type of person – the legendary Pure yin being!

The Pure Yin Being was the best physique for practicing Yin-type mantras, and was far superior to the effects of the innately born Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl.

The Pure Yin Being and the Pure Yang Being, as well as the perfect combined version like Yang Qing, were highly coveted. These extremely rare and precious physiques sped up the cultivation of suitable mantras by unimaginable measures.

Across the Grand Celestial World, the physiques that were superior to the types aforementioned were few and far between.

Once he had obtained the Pure Yang Primordial Fire, Lin Feng was already prepared to go the extra mile. Instead of just repairing the little girl's damaged magical pearl, he wanted to improve her already superior genes and take her innate physique to the next level.

Even though the Talent Analysis Device still detected the little girl's Innate Ability Value to be only nine points, there was no doubt that her Innate Ability was far stronger than before.

If the value system was converted to a scale out of 100, then the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl would rank a little over 90, and now her value was probably over 95.

Lin Feng watched Luo Qingwu, who was still undergoing physical change, and flashed a bright smile. "Yes, just as I expected. Her Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl has gained another level."

The process of her physical change and the improvements to her Innate Ability was long and hard journey, and required steady and consistent progress.

Lin Feng was not worried, however. He directed the Change of Yin and Yang as he cast his consciousness into the System.

After Lin Feng attained the immortal soul stage, the System also gained another level. This process was longer than usual however, and only ended recently.

Lin Feng did some digging in the System and discovered that many items that were suitable for immortal soul stage cultivators had appeared after the level-up.

There were even magic treasures.

The only issue was that these magic treasures were not ready-made. The System only provided an outline and skeleton, just like the Bell of Destiny before.

There were many unique and special magic treasures in the system that were still in their embryonic form. Many magic treasure blueprints were compatible with other independent models, and they could be easily combined to form another magic treasure.

Naturally, purchasing directly from the System was still ridiculously expensive. The items obtained from the Spin-A-Wheel page and the Dice System were, as always, all about luck.

If Lin Feng got lucky, then there would not be a lack of good items. He could even close his eyes and spin the wheel. If he got unlucky, then there will be a dearth of anything useful. They were usually so bad that one would not even bother to look a second time.

The rules of the Lucky Draw system were unchanged. However, to get a chance of getting the good stuff, Lin Feng had to pawn decent items along with the draw. If not, his chances were disappointingly abysmal.

Chapter 537: The New Function Of The Exchange System

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Before the system level-up, Lin Feng was breaking through to the immortal soul stage inside the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World. He shut himself in for seven years and collected multiple exchange system tickets.

Some of these tickets had already been used for either the Spin-A-Wheel page or the Dice System and he had obtained some returns.

He kept a portion of the rest of the tickets for future use.

There were good and bad changes to the system after the level-up. The bad thing was that the regular monthly ticket was removed and, from now onwards, the chances to use the Exchange System would be greatly reduced.

The good thing was that the Exchange System opened up a new function. Besides exchanging points for items, Lin Feng could now place some of his own items that he did not need to trade for other items in the system.

This was not the same as the Lucky Draw system. The items pawned for higher chances in the Lucky Draw system had to be non-system items, and everything had to come from the real world.

On the other hand, the new function of the Exchange System had no restrictions on the origins of the items. Any item could be used to trade.

This meant that even if Lin Feng did not draw something good from the Lucky Draw, he could still make use of it by trading it up.

Naturally, the system decided whether or not the items meant to be traded were equal in value. If the items that Lin Feng put in were not valuable enough, he would not be able to trade for the item he wanted. In order for that to happen, he had to add some items to increase the value of the trade. There would be times when one system item had to be traded for several of Lin Feng's items.

If Lin Feng's item had superior value than the system item he wished to trade for, then the aforementioned situation would be the opposite – he could use one of his items to trade for several system items.

Lin Feng was pleased with this new function. He wanted to make use of his useless items and exchange them for higher-level system items.

For example, there was something that Lin Feng wanted right now.

There were some magic treasures inside the system that were already complete. They were mature products and could be used once they were exchanged from the system.

This magic treasure was an ancient medallion called the Divine Token of the Five Thrones. It was ancient, and according to the system description, the medallion was forged with special and esoteric mantras. It was named after five emperors of the Antiquity Age, and was infused with the willpowers of these five emperors. It was extremely powerful and was considered the pinnacle of protective and defensive magic items, and was regarded as an impenetrable force.

The Primordial Age in the history of the Grand Celestial World was a time when demons roamed the earth. The great Immemorial demons commanded the heavens with their respective tribes while the humans lived in misery and submission. They were considered a lower life form, and were ruled over by these demons.

In the ending years of the Primordial Age, the human race rose up against the demons and the ensuing battle dragged out for many years. Many prodigies were born into the human race, and subsequently met their demise, while a great many powerful sects were established and eventually wiped out completely.

Over the course of history, there were several unprecedented prodigious leaders that formed royal empires to unite the people against the demon tribes.

The empire that existed during the Primordial Age was not the same as the Great Zhou Empire or the Great Qin Empire. The emperor back then was the one and true monarch and ruled over the entire human race and dominated the heavens.

The status of the human emperor of the Primordial Age was similar to the Grand Sages of the demonic tribes of today. They lorded over many powerful people and everybody bowed down to them.

More than one human emperor rose and fell during the continuous battle between the humans and the demons. Ultimately, the battle raged and became so violent that the skies tore open and the earth crumbled beneath everyone's feet. What was originally a single entity that was the Grand Celestial World split into two and transformed into the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses, with the humans inhabiting the former and the demons residing in the latter.

This phenomenal event marked the end of the Primordial Age, and the world entered the Antiquity Age.

The humans were still united under the one true monarch during the Antiquity Age. Dynasties came and went, and many ascended to power just to meet their demise not too long after. There were also several uprisings and rebellions, but on the whole, the human emperor was still the supreme leader of the human world and his word was sacred.

Many families battled for power during the Antiquity Age. Innumerable powerful individuals rose up in the ranks, and some established and created their own cultivation mantras and their own lines. However, with the increasing numbers of cultivation sects, the conflicts and opposition with the royal empire became more apparent.

The last human emperor of the Antiquity Age was brutal and tyrannical. This caused the conflict to blow up, and chaos erupted.

The Antiquity Age ended with the demise of this emperor, and the Divine Lands entered the Middle Ages.

Ever since the start of the middle ages, there had been powerful empires built on cultivation, but the 'one true emperor' of the Antiquity Age and the Primordial Age were no more. Powerful sects and holy grounds became the mainstream of the era – hence the saying, "A Millennium of Sects, and a thousand years of Royal Empires".

The Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Empire's Liang Pan was a magic treasure that belonged to one of the human emperors of the Antiquity Age. Its remains had been excavated by Liang Pan, and was since repaired and developed. Even though the process was still incomplete, its power was already extremely formidable.

The Divine Token of the Five Thrones was not a remnant treasure of the ancient human emperors. Rather, it was the remnant of a powerful individual's magic treasure from after the end of the Antiquity Age. This individual drew upon the concepts of the old human emperors' powers from both the Primordial and the Antiquity Age to forge this item.

Even so, it was an extraordinary magic treasure.

Yu Xintao's immortal soul was imprisoned by Lin Feng into the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner, and the two special treasures belonging to the Yu Family also ended up in his hands – the Xuanming Bow and the Theorem of Xuanming.

The Original Soul of the Theorem of Xuanming was destroyed after Lin Feng's assault, and could not longer be considered a magic treasure. However, this treasure was the origin of all of the Yu Family's mantras, and even though its original soul was lost, Lin Feng could still retrieve the Xuanming Primordial Water and the Mantra of Xuanming from within.

The Xuanming Bow was still a magic treasure, and Lin Feng began to run ideas through his head about what to do with this new item.

After suppressing the original soul of the Xuanming Bow forcefully with his mana, Lin Feng handed it over to the system in exchange for the Divine Token of the Five Thrones, which he so sorely desired.

The truth was that Lin Feng did have good eyes. The system rejected his offer to exchange the Xuanming Bow for the Divine Token of the Five Thrones.

The value of the Divine Token of the Five Thrones was far greater, and could not be exchanged with just the Xuanming Bow.

Lin Feng mercilessly pawned all the miscellaneous magic items he had attained from his various draws. When one was not enough, he added two. When two was not enough, he threw in a third.

Besides the Xuanming Bow, Lin Feng ended up putting down eight other items to satisfy the System's demands in exchange for the Divine Token of the Five Thrones.

Lin Feng could feel the rippling power of the medallion as he gripped the black piece of metal in his hands. He could feel that a new consciousness and life had begun.

"From the looks of it, the magic items exchanged from the System all have new consciousnesses and souls. They are all in the Gestation period, just like if they had been forged," Lin Feng thought about his new discovery. "Even though the powers are slightly weaker as the magic treasure's 'life' had just begun from the very beginning, it is easier to control."

There were five words engraved upon the medallion, according to the arrangement of the five elements. Every word was quietly flowing with radiance, and upon closer inspection, one could see that the flowing light was formed from a dense group of lines and patterns and held immense power.

The element in the middle was Earth, and the word engraved upon it was "Shi". It represented the unwavering willpower of the first human emperor of the Primordial Age.

The first human emperor was the person that catalyzed the rise of the humans and united the people against the demon races.

The element at the northern part of the medallion was Water, and the word engraved upon it was "Xia." Its origins belonged to an emperor that was known as the Emperor Xia.

On the left was the Gold element, and the word engraved upon it was "Tai". The powers were crafted from the willpower of the Emperor Tai. He was also the first person to start forging the Imperial Palace, and was also the person that threw back the demon races to end the Primordial Age.

This was the reason why he was also known as the Last Emperor of the Primordial Age.

The element on the right, on the eastern edge of the medallion belonged to the Wood element. "Chong" was engraved upon it, and it came from the Emperor Chong of the Primordial Age. He was widely renowned as the most magnanimous and merciful emperor. He perished during the prolonged war between the humans and the demons.

The spot at the bottom of the medallion belonged to the Fire element. The word engraved upon it was "Gu", and it originated from the Emperor of the Ancients.

Lin Feng mulled over the Divine Token of the Five Thrones momentarily before putting it away.

On the other side, the changes that the Two Elements of Creation Formation was performing on Luo Qingwu's physique were coming to an end. It was a tiny step away from completing the entire process.

Lin Feng clapped his hands repeatedly as rays of mana were projected into the Two Elements of Creation Formation, and finished up the leveling of Luo Qingwu's physique.

The purple light that the Netherworld Purple Crystal shot out gradually receded and the Two Elements of Creation Formation returned to its original dormant state. The little girl opened her eyes and felt the changes in her body in silence.

There was nothing specific that she had to do. All she needed to do was breathe according to her mantras to separate the Yin energy from the surrounding spiritual energy and subsequently absorb them into her body to convert into pure Yin energy for nourishment.

Such a state of cultivation was naturally more efficient than normal. In fact, the newfound efficiency was off the charts.

Luo Qingwu recovered after a short moment and clanged at Lin Feng timidly. "Sir… Sir…"

Lin Feng said plainly, "The Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl that you possess has been upgraded to the Pure Yin Being. Your cultivations will be a lot faster now."

Luo Qingwu wanted to say something but felt as if something blocked her throat.

Lin Feng's mystical powers amazed her. Ever since she was kid, she had known that she was born blessed and possessed a Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl in her body. It was a physique that was optimal for practicing Yin-type mantras, inferior only to the Pure Yin Being. It was also because of this that she was doted upon by her family, and she always got what wanted.

After her Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl was damaged, her entire family grew extremely nervous and worried. When they tried everything they could to help her, but to no avail, her status in the family fell into the deep dark depths. At that point in time, she could feel the importance of the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl to her existence.

Yet, Lin Feng managed to repair the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl with extreme ease. He even went a step further and raised her physique to the legendary Pure Yin Being, which was far superior and much rarer as compared to the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl.

Other than awe and gratitude, Luo Qingwu began to feel her face burning up. She felt really guilty about wrongfully blaming Lin Feng and the tantrum that she threw afterwards.

She knelt down again in front of Lin Feng and exclaimed with tears in her eyes, "Uncle Lin… I have let you down…"

Lin Feng smiled faintly and held her up. "You and I are fated, so I reached out to help you. This process was not a big deal to me anyway. This is a stroke of luck for you, but it's up to you to decide which path you choose in the future."

"The future…" The little girl seemed lost. "Fate… The future…"

She knelt down yet again in front of Lin Feng and shouted, "I want to join your sect, Uncle Lin! Please accept me! I will be obedient and I will cultivate with all my heart – I will never slack off again!"

The little girl did not even dare to breathe too heavily after her exclamation. She could feel her heart beating out of her chest in her kneeling position. She was so nervous that she had to muster a great amount of courage to say what she just did, and even then, it was a fleeting moment and her bravery disappeared in an instant. At this moment, she knelt down in front of Lin Feng like a little criminal, waiting for his judgment.

Chapter 538: Into The Void Battleground!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Luo Qingwu was kneeling on the ground and nervously awaiting Lin Feng's final judgment.

Lin Feng watched the little girl in front of him and smiled. He was just about to say something when he felt the consciousness of the Avatar of Ares from inside the Void Battleground.

"Oh, it's Wang Lin's mana, even though it's weak."

Lin Feng's brows curled up a little as he glanced at Luo Qingwu and said, "I just said that the path you decide to take in the future is up to you. Don't make impulsive decisions just like that."

"Before you make a decision, you need to think carefully about your choice. What is the reason for it? What are the consequences and the ultimate impact?"

Luo Qingwu seemed a little lost as she raised her head. After hesitating momentarily, she said, "Master Lin, I… I don't really understand…"

Lin Feng flashed a faint smile and replied, "That's why you need to think it over properly first."

Luo Qingwu blinked a few times as thoughts and ideas flashed by in her head. She felt like she partially understood Lin Feng's words, but her thought process was not that clear or complete yet.

"Go back and rest, before anything else." Lin Feng smiled again, waved his hand and immediately sent Luo Qingwu to the Wasteland Valley to accompany Jun Zining, who had already journeyed there.

After sending way the little girl, Lin Feng immediately called Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao and Yue Hongyan forward. These three disciples of his were in the aurous core stage. He laughed out loud and said, "Even though it's still a little too early, I think it's a good idea for you guys to broaden your horizons and brave the Void Battleground together."

Lin Feng swept the three of them up as he spoke before pointing his right index finger towards the middle of his brows. Then, he directly swapped his position with the Avatar of Ares over space. This was the mystical power of the Dual Dimensions Vacuum Charm, only accessible to Lin Feng. Even if the Avatar of Ares was in a chaotic place such as the Void Battleground, he could still proceed with the body swap.

The Avatar of Ares returned to Mount Yujing, and Lin Feng teleported to the spot that the Avatar of Ares was previously in – right in the middle of the hurricane-like and chaotic turbulence of the Void Battleground.

Lin Feng protected his disciples and leapt through the hurricane. The spatial turbulence around him may be chaotic, but in reality, it was not as dangerous as it seemed. Lin Feng relaxed his mana a little and released Xiao Yan and company.

There were many dangers inside the Void Battleground. Even with the extraordinary abilities of Xiao Yan and Shi Tianhao, they could find themselves in grave danger, let alone Yue Hongyan.

If Lin Feng let the three of them venture into the Void Battleground by themselves, the consequences would have been highly uncertain. Even if they could survive and protect themselves, they did not have the ability to leave the Void Battleground and return to the Greater World.

Under normal circumstances, only immortal soul stage cultivators could enter and exit the Void Battleground freely. If it were nascent soul stage cultivators, unless they had some special means of completing the task, it was all down to luck.

Before he took in Wang Lin as a disciple, Lin Feng had accidentally opened up a gash in the void that led straight into the Void Battleground. He paused at the border of the Void Battleground for only a short moment, but it was during this moment that he managed to aid Pu Beizi, a nascent soul stage cultivator from the Xuandao Sect, to exit the Void Battleground.

If not for his accidental discovery, Pu Beizi would probably not have been able to return to the Divine Lands so quickly.

As for aurous core stage cultivators, unless they had special magic treasures in possession, they were usually escorted by immortal soul stage individuals to facilitate their entry and exit.

Xiao Yan and company were naturally as safe as they could be under Lin Feng's protection.

They could feel the complex and disorganized spiritual energy within the turbulence as they peered out into the barren and chaotic world. What awed them even more was their discovery that the volume of spiritual energies in the vicinity was immense.

"I have heard so many stories of the Void Battleground. It feels a lot different from what I imagined, now that I am here myself. It's a very distinct compared to the Greater World and the Middle Worlds," Yue Hongyan heaved a sigh before she continued. "In comparison, the space of the Divine Lands was stable like solid earth, whereas this place feels like the open sea."

Lin Feng took point and continued forward. Upon hearing Yue Hongyan's words, he smiled and said, "The Void Battleground did not always exist. When the Primordial Age ended, the Grand Celestial World separated into the Barren Expanses and the Divine Lands. The immense power released from the split created the Void Battleground."

The spatial turbulence around the Void Battleground was chaotic and disorganized. The borders of the world were obscure and unclear, and the Void Battleground enjoyed an independent existence. The borders of the world were not connected to that of the Barren Expanses or the Divine Lands.

Lin Feng glanced at the chaotic borders of the world before him and said, "There are both dreadful dangers and exotic treasures. From this perspective, one would not be wrong to refer to this region as an open sea."

Shi Tianhao had been since his entry into the Void Battleground. His eyes were darting around while his lips were tightly sealed together.

This place was intimately connected to the first half of his life. Since Shi Tianhao came into this world, his grandfather risked his life to enter the Void Battleground to search for treasures and resources for his grandchild. He went missing afterwards.

Subsequently, his parents entered the Void Battleground to search for his grandfather. This was the moment that changed his life, when his parents decided to leave him to the Shi Family for caretaking as they ventured into the Void Battleground, which also ultimately led to the chain of tragedies in his life.

There had been no news about his grandfather up till this moment since his entry into the Void Battleground. After their parents endured intense hardships to return to the Divine Lands, they were pursued and besieged right away and had no choice but to return to the Void Battleground to seek shelter.

The information he received a while ago was that his parents had been severely injured and their fates currently unknown.

Xiao Yan and Yue Hongyan glanced sideways at Shi Tianhao and they both heaved a faint sigh. Xiao Yan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Relax, your parents will be fine. They deserve all the good things in the world."

Shi Tianhao nodded his head and murmured, "I know that. I just want to find my parents. I also want to seek justice for them, as well as for myself. You have already helped me to destroy the Yu Family, and some people in the Shi Family will get what's coming for them very soon. I will claim my debts just like you did."

Xiao Yan smiled faintly and turned away towards the vast and endless void with a complicated look in his eyes.

"My little junior is finally able to reunite with his parents. Me… I will never see my parents again…"

His mother's circumstance a little easier to accept as she passed away from illness. However, his father was heavily injured during a fight and never recovered. What infuriated Xiao Yan was the fact that he had no clue who his target of revenge was.

At least Shi Tianhao knew who he had to seek out for vengeance. All Xiao Yan could do was huff and puff in fury.

Just when he felt the pent-up anger stirring inside him, he was stunned momentarily before he took out a jade talisman. The talisman flickered with a faint golden light.

Lin Feng and the others looked his way as Xiao Yan exclaimed, "Master, Zhener is also inside the Void Battleground!"

This jade talisman was given to him by Xiao Zhener. She had an identical piece, and the two pieces were a pair. The talismans reacted when they were near each other, and even had the function of communicating each other's positions in space.

The functions were similar to that of the Transparent Telepathic Ring that the Great Void Sect gave to Jieyu and Baiguang.

All this was not because Xiao Zhener had some ulterior motives and neither was it because her family was plotting something. It came from her pure heart for Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan tried to communicate with Xiao Zhener but was unsuccessful. It was not just the space inside the Void Battleground that was a mess. Even the flowing spiritual energy were in complete chaos.

"We are close to each other. If not, the light would not have been flashing," Lin Feng said, "Try and triangulate her position."

Xiao Yan nodded his head and made an attempt at locating her. He suddenly beamed with joy and said, "Even though the signal is weak, I am still able to locate her."

Lin Feng took the jade talisman from his hands and began to pass his consciousness within. They were indeed able to tell Xiao Zhener's location, but she seemed like she stopped and was doing something as her position remained unchanged over the entire process.

Lin Feng rushed forward in her direction and unleashed the streams of his consciousness. He could faintly feel the brutality of the Void Lightning Tribulations.

"Could it be that she's here to experience the Void Lightning Tribulations?" Lin Feng's raised an eyebrow and started to perceive the void in the direction he was facing. He could feel another source of strength in play, but the spatial turbulence was so chaotic that he could not tell the exact distance of the rippling power.

Lin Feng flashed a smile and turned towards Xiao Yan and the other two. "Tianhao, Hongyan, follow your Big Senior over there to find his little girlfriend. Go try your luck as well – maybe you will have other discoveries."

"I am going to find Wang Lin. My physical spell body will be following the three of you."

Xiao Yan and company immediately acknowledged Lin Feng's instructions and proceeded forward towards the patch that Xiao Zhener was in under the guidance of the talisman.

On the other hand, Lin Feng began to feel the mana aura coming from Wang Lin's body and rushed in another direction.

There were other cultivators inside the chaotic void besides Lin Feng and his disciples. However, the Void Battleground was a huge place with seemingly endless horizons. No matter how many people were inside, the entire place still felt extremely barren and empty.

Cultivators were only gathered at places where magic treasures were produced or released.

For instance, there was giant black piece of rock in a certain patch of space. It was floating like a small boat inside the void, radiated with magical light and spiritual energy was gushing out all around.

"This feels like a remnant piece of a star. It contains many different kinds of treasures inside, and they are all high-quality materials for the forging of other magic treasures. The only problem is that they are all mixed up together and separating them is a difficult task."

"What do you know? Have you even seen it? The flashing light of the star remnant is like human breathing. It's clear that it is nurturing some kind of magic treasure and is just about to 'give birth'. The people here are all waiting for the maturation of the treasure!"

As words were being exchanged, somebody hollered out all of a sudden. "The flashing is getting stronger and stronger!"

Everybody at the scene held their breaths and the Void Battleground fell into a deathly silence. Everyone was watching the black piece of rock carefully.

The flashing of light coming from the rock became extremely violent, until the flashes connected one after another and the entire rock turned into a sphere of light and lit up the darkness of the void.

Commotions stirred amongst the people. The space all around crackled and exploded as the entire crowd of powerful cultivators surged across the void towards the black stone.

The lowest level cultivator amongst the group of people was the nascent soul beginner stage. All kinds of spells and abhijnas flew all around in the sky.

A ray of golden light zipped across the space above them and through the body of people. The speed was so quick that a great many could not even react – it was a golden roc, who was in the demonic lord advanced stage.

As people began to realize what was happening, they grew furious as they started to assault the golden roc with a myriad of spells and mantras.

The golden roc was completely unafraid. His entire body flickered with golden light, and every golden feather on his body had patterns of a magic formation imprinted upon them. He flapped his wings violently and uncountable rays of golden light flew out and destroyed every incoming attack.

Everybody started drawing cold breaths. Even the nascent soul advanced stage cultivators and the demonic lord advanced stage powerhouses wore serious looks on their faces.

The Golden Roc tribe was one of the most powerful demonic races in the Barren Expanses. The leader of the tribe, the Golden Roc Grand Sage, could be considered to be the third most powerful demon of the Ten Demonic Saints. The Golden Roc Grand Sage himself was fearsome and blindingly fast, and was unmatched by most others of the same level of mastery.

This golden roc was extremely domineering. After repelling the incoming attacks, he was just about land on the black stone.

However, right at this very moment, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes watching him and he felt a chill run down his spine. He turned back for a quick look and saw a tall youth sauntering towards his position. This youth was well-built and handsome and had long black hair that fell to his shoulders.

What was so sinister was the fact that his eyes were completely closed, but the golden roc could distinctly feel a pair of frightening eyes staring right at him.

Somebody from amongst the human crowd recognized the youth and exclaimed in shock, "Is it the Shi Family's Man of Polycoria?"
