Chapter 600: Freeing One's Own Body of Restraint and Finding One's True Purpose in Life

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"Congratulations for completing the main mission 2.1!"

"Main mission special reward!"

Lin Feng opened the treasure chest and a bright and transparent jade rock appeared in front of him and landed in his hands.

Ever since the Demon Avatar he got during the Qi Cultivation Stage to the Two Elements of Creation Formation formation map to the Cosmic Ray Vine to the Sky-Shielding Umbrella, the system's main mission special reward had been very supportive.

As he felt the jade rock in his hands, Lin Feng thought, "This thing seems to be in the same category as the Sky-Shielding Umbrella? It's good when used, but once you are not focused, it can be detrimental to you."

Lin Feng thought for a moment and kept the jade rock properly. After that, he lowered his head to look at the new main mission released by the system.

Main mission 2.2 – Key Preparations, Future Prosperity

The mission instructions: Congratulations for building up your name in the Grand Celestial World. Your construction of sect foundation has taken a huge step forward.

But one moment of glory did not represent eternal longevity. To become the top sect in the leading sects, one had to lay a strong foundation and continue it.

The disciples of the sect had to grow, followed by passing down the skills and knowledge to future generations. For talents to rise in every generation, not only must quality be present, quantity was also important. To reach prosperity in the end was the goal.

From today onwards, Lin Feng had to nurture the successors of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and accumulate more than a thousand disciples under him. The number of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators had to be 1% of the total and the number of Aurous Core Stage cultivators had to be more than 10% of the total. Whereas for the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators had to take up more than 39% of the total.

The time limit: 50 years. If it was not fulfilled by the time, the main mission special reward would be cancelled.

"Oh?" Lin Feng's pupils dilated before shrinking. He remembered the details of the mission in the back of his head and his attention was placed on the last sentence, the one where the description of the deadline was indicated.

The part about 50 years being the deadline was not important. What was important was the later part of the sentence.

"If it was not fulfilled by the time, the main mission special reward would be cancelled..." Lin Feng took in a deep breath. He highlighted that part of the mission in his head and referred to past mission instructions he received.

Regarding the deadlines of the mission, the later part of the sentences always wrote, "If it was not fulfilled by the time, you would be killed."

And now, regarding the main mission, although there was a deadline, the punishment for exceeding the time limit was only the cancellation of the special reward.

"Is it because I have formed the Immortal Soul? Or is there any other reason?"

With Lin Feng's current state of mind, he was a little confused now.

Honestly speaking, if it were not for the death threats, he would have taken his time to cultivate secretly for a period of time. Only when he had some abilities would he reveal himself and earn his place in the cultivation world.

If he wanted to complete the mission, he would do so. If he didn't want to, he could just screw it.

Until now, except for the slightly higher pressure of the battle he just went through, the only times when he took risks were when he was forced by the system during his Qi Cultivation Stage.

A risk represented a high possibility of death. But not completing a mission was certain death. Inside Lin Feng's heart existed an innate drive to preserve his life, thus he had always been very adventurous. At times, when he looked back, he felt a little scared for himself.

Accepting Shi Tianhao, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and Wang Lin as his disciple had not been easy. Especially at Wuzhou County where he challenged an Aurous Core Stage Elder from the Intense Flaming Sword Sect in his Qi Cultivation Stage for Xiao Yan. He could have killed himself then.

If he was not prudent, Lin Feng would have died many times over.

"But honestly speaking, without such pressures, I may not have reached this stage." Lin Feng closed both his eyes and pondered for a moment. After that, he laughed, "As I reflect, even without the death threats, I would have worked hard."

"Moreover, why will I want to slack? To become history's number one founder, won't that be interesting? To reach that level and see my own image is something that enthralls me."

Lin Feng's eyes opened once again. As he sat on the Heavenly-Destroying Sword sword casket, he let out a long roar. It shook the Heavens and made everyone shocked.

As a clear light flashed, a huge Taiji Diagram appeared in void space.

A clear singing voice came from the Taiji Diagram, but no one could hear its contents properly. They only felt a huge relief and a sense of nature.

Only in Lin Feng's head were the lyrics of the song clear.

"Only by breaking free of my own restraints can I discover my true purpose in life!"

The Taiji Diagram looked over the entire world. As Lin Feng looked at the world before him, "I , Lin Feng, will become history number one founder."

The clear light dragged the Taiji Diagram back into Lin Feng's forehead. He revealed a smiling intent on his face and seemed a little free, but revealed a domineering aura at the same time.

Within the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, with Shi Yu as the leader, a bunch of Immortal Soul Stage Elders stared at Lin Feng.

They naturally did not know what detailed changes happened to Lin Feng's body, but they could feel that his was extremely frightening. He seemed to have underwent a metamorphosis.

After defeating the Great Void Sect and Mount Shu Sword Sect, Lin Feng's might and stature was boosted again. He reached a stage where even an Immortal Soul Stage Elder looked up to him. Only Shi Yu could still maintain his temperament.

He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Master Lin, you seemed to have achieved something?"

Lin Feng laughed, "Nothing much. I just thought of some things. My actions have made me a laughing stock."

The bunch of them replied, "Master Lin, you are too kind." The bunch of them felt that Lin Feng's state of mind had become more advanced after he challenged the Great Void Sect.

Many of them were hesitating. Lin Feng released notice that he wanted to accept disciples for the second time previously. When that happened, there would be another Sect-Opening Ceremony. Whether they would participate or not was a burning question.

In many of their eyes, this was actually a choice of their stands. Would they choose the Great Void Sect or the alliance between the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the other great powers?

The Sun Radiance Swordmaster and the Flying Snow Swordmaster stared at each other and revealed slight bitter smiles.

Lin Feng borrowed his post-victory glory to accept disciples, causing all the great powers to start choosing their sides. This also pushed the Celestial Sect of Wonders to the leading position of the opposition towards the Great Void Sect.

This was a plan to tackle the evil scheme. Alongside Lin Feng's frightening powers, everyone had their own ideas. But they did concede that Lin Feng was worthy of his current position.

Of course, in this way, Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders had ascended to the first line of offence against the Great Void Sect. While they enjoyed the glory, they had to bear the rightful responsibilities and risks.

With regards to the debate in everyone's hearts, Lin Feng was not too bothered. He placed his attention back onto the system.

He had the time now to analyze the instructions of the system's mission.

Although there was no death threat, Lin Feng was still prepared to finish the mission. Furthermore, the special reward of the system was very enticing. It didn't mean that a lack of death threat should render Lin Feng the autonomy to cross the time limit.

To Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders, completing the mission in the shortest amount of time would signify a faster growth in their powers. Why would they not like that?

Coming into direct opposition with the Great Void Sect presented a pressure that Lin Feng was unaware of. He would never lament that he was working too hard or his powers were too strong.

However, as he read the instructions more carefully, Lin Feng pursed his lips, "Although they did not mention any death threats, the contents of the system mission are still as sarcastic as ever."

In 50 years, Lin Feng had to have a thousand disciples at least. Among them, at least 1% had to be in the Nascent Soul Stage, 10% in the Aurous Core Stage and 39% and above in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

In other words, out of these thousand disciples, Lin Feng had to nurture ten Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, at least a hundred of them who had formed the Aurous Core and at least half of them with their foundations established.

The time limit was 50 years. Regardless whether it was Lin Feng or his disciples, the time limit was 50 years. This removed the possibility of Lin Feng spending 50 years outside of the Greater World and throwing his disciples in the Heavenly Ray Cosmic World to speed up their cultivations.

In the system, there were further instructions to supplement their words. They wrote that every disciple's cultivation would be set to a limit of 50 years and that their cultivations after 50 years would be use for accounting the numbers. After 50 years, even if one of them reached the Immortal Soul Stage, it would not count.

To a cultivator, 50 years was not very pressing. But to an average person, 50 years was half of his life. There were many who were still in the Qi Cultivation Stage even after cultivating for so long.

If a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator could see no hope in cultivating the Aurous Core, he would grow old and eventually die.

But for a talented cultivator, 50 years was nothing.

For an elite talent in the human cultivation world, the standard was forming the Nascent Soul within a hundred years. The faster it was, the better.

With Lin Feng's Celestial Sect of Wonder's foundation and resources, picking the right talents for disciples, in order to fulfil the goal of a hundred Aurous Core Stage disciples and a few hundred Foundation Establishment Stage disciples was not difficult.

During the Sect-Opening Ceremony at Shazhou, Lin Feng's and the Celestial Sect of Wonder's name was still very average. But they had an advantage, given that there was no traditional great power in the north foot of Mount Kunlun. That was why many talents came to join the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Now that they were opening up the sect for a second time, the number of people willing to join was only going to increase. Under more conditions, there was bound to be more talents to be unearthed.

But many great powers were also using their resources to source for talents. When many of these talents started to exhibit their potentials, they would be accepted as disciples by these great powers. That was why Lin Feng did not hold so much hope for this Sect-Opening Ceremony.

But the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir could be mass-produced now. Alongside the other resources on Mount Yujing, Lin Feng was still confident of breeding talents even if their innate potentials were not high.

That's why, having half of his disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage and above and one-tenth of them in the Aurous Core Stage and above was not an issue.

The simplest way was to pick 500 people seriously and teach them diligently. All the resources would be pumped towards them. After 50 years, all of them would establish their foundations. One-fifth of them would also form the Aurous Core easily. After that, another 500 disciples could be accepted.

What made Lin Feng a little stumped was that he had to have ten Nascent Soul Stage disciples by 50 years.

Chapter 601: The System Frames Again

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The human cultivation world agreed that a cultivator that could form the Nascent Soul within a hundred years was an outstanding talent and was someone who had a bright future.

Why was Tao Yaoyao so highly rated, such that her name was even prominent within the Nine Heavenly Sword Alliance? That was because when she reached the peak of the Aurous Core Stage and was about to go for the Nascent Soul Stage, there was still some time before a hundred years was reached.

If it were not for the incident, Tao Yaoyao would have formed the Nascent Soul within a hundred years, without a doubt.

With the same reasoning, why was Shi Chongyun termed as someone with talent but no morals? People claimed that he had no morals because his character was very flawed. They said that he was talented because he formed the Nascent Soul within a hundred years. That was why he was called the Nascent Soul Chongyun and Shi Xingyun was called the Aurous Core Xingyun in the Great Qin Empire.

Before Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao and the rest gained fame, out of the various talents within the Divine Lands, the ones that were the most highly rated were Shi Tianyi and the Marquis of Jinghuan, Liang An. That was because they formed the Nascent Soul early. They were even more talented than Shi Chongyun and Tao Yaoyao.

But now, this was the problem. The system requested Lin Feng to have ten Nascent Soul Stage successors within 50 years.

In the Divine Lands, how many of the younger generation cultivators could make it to the Nascent Soul Stage within 50 years?

Even those in the Middle World were included, Zhu Yi, Xiao Zhener, Shi Tianyi, the Marquis of Jinghuan.

And then?

There was no one else. At least no one else that Lin Feng knew. Maybe the Great Void Sect and Mount Shu Sword Sect had hidden talents that could do it, but maybe they didn't have.

The Hall of the Dead might have nurtured some of these talents, or they might have some low-profile talents, but all these were uncertain.

The talents that experienced huge increases in their cultivations were mostly known. That was because most people had to venture in the outside world once they reached a certain standard. As they reached that certain standard, pure cultivation would not allow the cultivator to improve. He had to go outside and gain experience in order to overcome the bottleneck and comprehend the different mantras.

In this way, they would be known. Were there those who were kept at home without anyone knowing? Yes, there were. But they were in the minority.

There were only a few powerful cultivators from the younger generation that could be identified.

To include more in the equation, Lin Daohan, Yan Mingyue, Pang Jie were also one of the few talents. Even Zhu Yi's mother, Meng Bingyun and his father Zhu Hongwu could be considered. The number of cultivators that Lin Feng heard before were only these few.

All in all, there wasn't even ten of them.

Of course, from the current situation, Lin Feng's own disciples, Xiao Yan and Shi Tianhao were guaranteed to fulfil the target. As for Shi Xingyun and Jiao Junchen, they were still possible.

This was summarized from the entire perspective of the Divine Lands. The great powers that nurtured them included the Celestial Sect of Wonder, Great Void Sect, Great Qin Empire, Great Zhou Empire and the Rule of the Emperor of the Ancients. These great powers provided the most powerful mantras and best resources. Without taking a few shortcuts and wasting a little time and talent, there were only a few of them who could form the Nascent Soul in 50 years.

The system wanted Lin Feng to nurture ten of them. It was really trying to frame him.

The only good news was that Xiao Yan and the rest could be included.

But the bad news was that Wang Lin could not be included.

Although Wang Lin was the first under Lin Feng to form the Nascent Soul, including the total time spent in the Heavenly Ray Cosmic World and the Void Battleground, Wang Lin had formed the Nascent Soul after cultivating for more than a hundred years.

Although the mission was only just released, the system counted the number of years of cultivation a cultivator spent before reaching the Nascent Soul Stage right from the beginning and not from the publication of the announcement.

But if Lin Feng's 50 years limit reached and Lin Feng's disciples had not reached 50 years of cultivation, the time would still stop.

With regards to how cunning the system was, Lin Feng already knew. He could not count on the system to give any welfare. Since he had the Heavenly Ray Cosmic World, he could just dump those who enter the sect late into there.

Lin Feng calculated the chips he had. Besides Wang Lin, Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao and Xiao Yan were definitely able to reach the Nascent Soul Stage. There shouldn't be any anomalies.

Among the rest, Yue Hongyan, Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu had great hopes of doing so. Without any major incidents, they could form the Nascent Soul before 50 years.

Lastly, Lin Tong should also have great hope. Her foundation was very thick. But since she was neither human or demon, Lin Feng still need to consider how she could cultivate officially.

Especially since Lin Tong was formed from a tree. For a tree to cultivate would take a longer time. Overall speaking, she was a candidate that could be counted on.

Besides them, the rest were unknown.

Lin Feng laughed bitterly, "Let's see if I can find any talents in this sect-recruiting campaign. After that, I'm going to let Xiao Yan and the few of them out. Let's see if they can find anyone useful."

As for this second sect-recruiting campaign, Lin Feng was looking forward to it. But as news was spreading, it would take some time before people came to Xiling County. Lin Feng still had to settle the rewards of the battle he just won.

The Natural Light Celestial Robe had its original soul destroyed by him. Honestly speaking, it was a good treasure. It was a pity its original soul was destroyed. But Lin Feng had no time to deal with the original soul, thus he went so far as to destroy it. He was contented to let the robe be part of the Two Elements of Creation Formation.

To obtain this magic treasure and allow the 12 magic treasures of the Two Elements of Creation Formation to be gathered, Lin Feng thought that it was an unexpected reward. It was also one of the more important reward that he obtained.

While 11 and 12 was just 1 magic treasure away, the impact on the Two Elements of Creation Formation was great.

The Six Forms of Creation and Destruction only had five changes. Although it could resist the Formation-Bursting Drum, its formation changes would still be thwarted by the Formation Bursting Drum.

As the Six Changes were gathered, it could defeat the Formation Bursting Drum. And the Formation Bursting Drum was a magic treasure that dealt with formations specially. If it was a magic treasure in the Mahayana realm, say the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain, it would be defeated even worse.

Besides the Natural Light Celestial Robe, a more valuable item that Lin Feng obtained was the stone stairs that he got from the hands of the Xuan Lin Holy Man.

Lin Feng held a stone flute in his hands and felt that the changes of its aura revealed a sense of compatibility with the stone stairs.

As he recalled what happened, he remembered that when he stole the Natural Light Celestial Robe from Kuang Heng, Shi Yu's and Wu Qingrou's expressions changed as they witnessed this scene. The Xuan Lin Holy Man was furious as he saw it.

Kuang Heng was an Immortal Soul Third Level Elder, who was a member of the Supreme Elder Council of the Great Void Sect, core member of the radical faction and opposition to Yan Nanlai in the past for the Great Void Sect sect leader position, had his Natural Light Celestial Robe stolen by Lin Feng.

The Natural Light Celestial Robe was a magic treasure that had an appearance like a long robe. As it was taken away, it was a big humiliation for Kuang Heng.

But Kuang Heng remained calm and continued fighting Lin Feng.

But after Lin Feng took the stone stairs, the Xuan Lin Holy Man was extremely furious. Even Kuang Heng was panicking and tried to snatch it back.

Such a showing caused Lin Feng to pay attention to it. This meant that the stone stairs was very valuable.

The stone stairs had its original soul and was in the metaplasia realm. Its original soul could even form a true entity.

But after it was suppressed by Lin Feng, the original soul did not lay a move and remained in the magic treasure. It sealed itself shut completely.

With Lin Feng's powers, he could destroy it forcefully. But now, he was interested in the secret of this magic treasure. He also had the patience and time to cultivate this magic treasure. He could make the other party speak.

Besides the stone stairs and the Natural Light Celestial Robe, Lin Feng had to thank the Heaven Lake Sect too.

Cao Wei was sent into the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner by Lin Feng. As for the Two Elders of Ice and Fire, they were also repressed by him.

These Two Elders had better pray and hope that Lin Feng increases the realm of the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner to the metaplasia realm. Otherwise, they would be used by Lin Feng for other purposes. When that happens, their lives were destined to be gone.

Of course, if they rather die than caved in, Lin Feng did not mind too.

However, as compared to the three of them, what made Lin Feng bothered was the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain.

Amidst the snowy white and bright mountain peak, a figure of a middle-aged man in white surfaced. His hair was crimson like flames and his eyebrows were white like snow. He was the original soul of the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain.

"My name is Dual Polarity Peak, the original soul of the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain. I am willing to submit to the Celestial Sect of Wonders and be cultivated."

The crimson hair and white-browed man revealed his stand very clearly.

Lin Feng stared at him. After all, it was a magic treasure in the metaplasia realm. The original soul could leave the magic treasure and unleashed all its powers. His powers were equivalent to an Immortal Soul Second Level Elder, but why does he have no backbone?

Who knew that the Dual Polarity Peak was very serious and said, "I am willing to be used, but I hope that you can spare the Heaven Lake Sect."

Lin Feng said, "The Heaven Lake Sect is bound to be destroyed by the Royal House of the Northern Tribes. Its disciples are likely to be recruited by the Great Zhou Empire. There won't be much bloodshed, but the Heaven Lake Sect will disappear from the Divine Lands."

"As for Cao Wei and the rest, whether they can survive, it depends on them. For you, it's the same."

The Dual Polarity Peak sighed and shook his head without speaking. After that, he disappeared.

But through the Heaven-Destroying Sword's sword casket, Lin Feng could feel that the Dual Polarity Peak had settled down and gave up all hope of resistance.

Lin Feng shook his head and laughed. As he flipped his palm, a few streaks of light figures appeared. Out of them, the brightest one was a three-foot crucible. The crucible was inscribed with an image of mountains and water.

Around this crucible, there were even 7 small green bronze crucibles circling it.

"This is the Mountain and River Void Crucible?" Lin Feng thought, "Including Tianhao's one, there are 8 green bronze crucibles. There's one more left. What's the use of this thing?"

Lin Feng used his finger to tap the body of the Mountain and River Void Crucible. He discovered that its original soul was in a state of coma after being repressed.

"6000 years has passed. Even if it does not promote to the metaplasia realm, the original soul should have its own awareness. Even if it has been asleep for a long time, it should be mature by now." Lin Feng thought. "But this Mountain and River Void Crucible seems to be asleep. It must have been repressed by the Heaven Lake Sect all these years."

Chapter 602: Emperor Xia's Inheritance, Crucible of the Divine Lands

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng observed the Mountain and River Void Crucible for a moment before tapping on the body of the crucible.

The restrictions placed on the body of the crucible was destroyed by Lin Feng. The awareness of the original soul of the Mountain and River Void Crucible started to grow.

Lin Feng kept the Mountain and River Void Crucible and the 7 green bronze crucibles properly. After that, he retrieved the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner and interrogated Cao Wei's Immortal Soul.

After entering the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner, Cao Wei lost his freedom. Although he could cultivate as per normal, he could not disobey Lin Feng's and Wang Lin's wishes.

Whatever Lin Feng asked him, he had no choice but to reveal everything out. He could not hide anything.

Cao Wei looked very dull now, as if he was filled with lethargy. But his expression was still very indifferent, as he looked at Lin Feng calmly.

Lin Feng looked at him, "What is the secret behind this Mountain and River Void Crucible, tell me."

"If I knew this day would come, I would not have done what I did." Cao Wei sighed and said, "There is a legend in the human cultivation world that the Mountain and River Void Crucible was the magic treasure of the Mountain and River Holy Man. These Nine Familial Green Bronze Crucibles of Emptiness were his magic treasures too."

"But this is not entirely the case. The Nine Familial Green Bronze Crucibles of Emptiness were not cultivated by the Mountain and River Holy Man. He unearthed it from some historical remains in the Antiquity Age. These nine crucibles formed a miraculous formation structure. When the Mountain and River Holy Man discovered them, he had yet to form the Immortal Soul. He was only in the Advanced Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.

"He had remained in the peak of the Advanced Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage for a period of time. He was only a step away from the Immortal Soul Stage. Because he comprehended this formation spell, along with his own cultivation, he finally overcame the bottleneck and formed the Immortal Soul Avatar."

Cao Wei said, "After that, the Mountain and River Holy Man used the formation spell of the Nine Familial Green Bronze Crucibles of Emptiness as his foundation to search for other magic treasures. Eventually, he cultivated the Mountain and River Void Crucible."

"When the magic treasure was cultivated, the powers of the ten crucibles achieved resonance with one another and the formation experienced a weird change. It was restructured and formed a new formation, creating a pathway towards external space."

"When the Mountain and River Holy Man wanted to use that pathway, he realized that it was not completed. He realized something else important was needed." Cao Wei paused for a moment, before continuing with, "It is your Fire and Ice Fruit. As it matures, it will become the Fire Affinity Wood. With this wood as a stepping stone, along with the combination of the pathway created by the ten crucibles, the pathway will finally be clear to move."

Lin Feng was enlightened. He continued listening to Cao Wei, "The Mountain and River Holy Man only understood this reasoning later on. But then, because he was without the Fire Affinity Wood and he was also anxious to walk up the pathway, the formation collapsed and the Nine Familial Green Bronze Crucibles of Emptiness were lost in different places."

"The Mountain and River Holy Man could only search for the missing crucibles while finding the Fire Affinity Wood. After that, he came to the Heaven Lake on the Snow Mountains."

Lin Feng nodded his head, "The Fire Affinity Wood is only found in extremely hot places. But in these few years, it has almost been extinct. The Mountain and River Holy Man could not find it in these hot areas and misunderstood that the Heaven Lake possessed the dual polarities of Ice and Fire, thus it could grow the Fire Affinity Wood there."

Cao Wei answered, "That is the case."

Following that, things were obvious. For profits, murder was committed.

"The Great Void Sect didn't care?" Lin Feng thought of something. Although the Mountain and River Holy Man was an independent cultivator, he had formed the Nascent Soul. If the Heaven Lake Sect wanted to kill him to steal his treasures, the Great Void Sect would interfere if they knew about it.

Cao Wei said, "6000 years ago, the Mountain and River Holy Man was not killed, but was only repressed within a spring opening in the Northern Seas."

Lin Feng looked at him with a shifty glance. As expected, Cao Wei followed with, "During the War between the Two Worlds 4600 years ago, the Ice Elder attracted a few demons over. They were the ones who killed the Mountain and River Holy Man."

"The Heaven Lake Sect set a trap and killed those demons."

Lin Feng laughed without making a noise and shook his head, "Tell me more about the crucibles."

Cao Wei said, "When it landed in our hands, besides the Mountain and River Void Crucible, there were two smaller crucibles. As time passed, we collected another five of them. We hope to find the remaining two."

"During this period of time, we tried to cultivate the last two crucibles with the existing seven crucibles we had. After all, it was just a Nascent Soul Stage magic item. We thought it would be easy, but it's not."

Lin Feng thought, "It seems like although the nine crucibles feel the same, they had their own secrets. In this way, if I duplicated using the Heavenly Oyster Golden Pearl, although I can get a small crucible, I can't re-surface all ten of them."

"The crucible is only a carrier. The main point was the special and miraculous aura it contained."

He asked, "Where does the pathway lead to?"

Cao Wei answered, "With the Mountain and River Holy Man's understanding and our comprehension, the pathway leads to a certain part of external space. But that part of external space was just a directional sign to somewhere. We believe that this directional sign has something to do with Emperor Xia from the Antiquity Age."

"Emperor Xia?" Lin Feng understood why the Heaven Lake Sect was so anxious about the Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness. Emperor Xia was an emperor of the humans in the Antiquity Age and he died during the War between the Two Worlds.

A human emperor was a status and honor that represented the strongest individual in a particular era. In that particular era, the emperor ruled over the entire human race.

But as an era changed, this would change naturally. There would also be discrepancies in powers between different emperors.

An elite individual in a prosperous era might not be capable of being an emperor during that era, but he might be up to the task in a darker era.

Such a logic applied to the demonic clan too. From the perspective of long history, the overall powers of both parties had its highs and lows. There were peaks, but there were also deep valleys.

In the history of the human race, if an emperor perished, the inheritance that he left behind at that time would be split among the people then. None of it would be left for his successor. If it was passed all the way down, then it would be regarded as wealth to the people now.

However, there was also an extent to wealth. For example, the first emperor of the Primordial Age and the last emperor of the Primordial Age each had the Immortal Dragon City and the Imperial Palace respectively. Although one was incomplete and the other sustained heavy damage, they were both magic treasures in the destiny realm.

Such magic treasures were undoubtedly precious inheritances. Even if they required heavy resources to repair or cultivate, they were worth dying for. They were powerful enough to catalyze the rise of a superpower.

After all, not every human emperor possessed a magic treasure in the destiny realm.

However, Emperor Xia was like the first and last emperor, as he cultivated a magic treasure in the destiny realm. But it perished alongside Emperor Xia in history.

As expected, Cao Wei continued with, "We did exploit the Mountain and River Holy Man's Immortal Soul and we can confirm that the external space that he encountered had something to do with the magic treasure of Emperor Xia, the Crucible of the Divine Lands."

After clarifying the logic behind it, Lin Feng was no longer anxious. Even if he had all ten crucibles now and cultivated the Fire and Ice Fruit into the Fire Affinity Wood, he would not rush to search for the Crucible of the Divine Lands.

When Emperor Xia perished and the Crucible of the Divine Lands went missing, there were some secrets about it. If the Crucible of the Divine Lands was not destroyed, even if it was damaged, as a magic treasure in the destiny realm, sufficient planning was still needed and it was not that easy to be retrieved.

After keeping Cao Wei's Immortal Soul back into the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner and since the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain had already submitted to him, Lin Feng put the matter aside temporarily. Cultivating a magic treasure in the Mahayana realm was not something that could be done quickly.

He drew a light circle in void space and the light circle revealed the image of the Heaven Lake.

As what he expected, without the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain, Cao Wei and the Two Elders of Ice and Fire, the Heaven Lake Sect could not withstand a combined attack by the Royal House of the Northern Tribes and the Great Zhou Empire.

While the Heaven Lake Sect had a formation to protect it, it was not sufficient for Nascent Soul Stage cultivators to support it. It would be very difficult for them to handle a long period of battle with Immortal Soul Stage Elders. They were eventually overran by the Immortal Soul Stag Elders.

The Great Zhou Empire sent the image of Cao Wei and the Two Elders of Ice and Fire being repressed in the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land to the Heaven Lake Sect, causing a huge commotion. After that, the Heaven Lake Sect was filled with silence.

After the silence, an even greater upheaval and argument ensued. There were even outbreaks of conflicts internally. But the chaos was settled very quickly. Most of them submitted to the Great Zhou Empire. Those who resisted were killed on the spot.

After that, the Lord of the Royal House destroyed the holy ground of the Heaven Lake Sect and extinguished their Holy Fire. He also destroyed the Ice Palace. The Heaven Lake Sect was finished just like that.

After seeing this scene, Lin Feng was neutral. His gaze flashed a little and he drew another light circle in space. As a light figure flashed, a lady in green appeared.

"What a bold move, Master Lin." It was Yan Mingyue. She looked at Lin Feng and smiled, "I am impressed."

Lin Feng said indifferently, "You are too kind with your words. I must thank you for coordinating all this. It made today possible."

Yan Mingyue smiled, "Not just me, you have to thank Grandmaster Zheng Yi too."

Lin Feng smiled and did not continue speaking.

Right now, the situation was that the Great Void Sect and Celestial Sect of Wonders as well as the other great powers were on opposite sides. The Great Void Sect could not operate like it used to anymore.

Such a situation was something the radical faction was willing to pursue.

To Kuang Heng and the rest, they might not have such an idea at the start and they might not have expected Lin Feng to have such powers. They just wanted to suppress Lin Feng.

But after this battle, the Zheng Yi Holy Man was only there to save his sect members and he forgone a battle with Lin Feng. Besides having no magic treasures in the destiny realm and a lack of confidence, he also had other considerations. Things were not that simple.

What made it difficult for the Zheng Yi Holy Man to accept was that the stone stairs landed in Lin Feng's hands.

Lin Feng looked at Yan Mingyue calmly and smiled, "Are you going to be kicked out by the Great Void Sect this time?"

"Master Lin, you must be joking." Yan Mingyue smiled too, "Uncle Yan and Grandmaster Zheng Yi are not that narrow-minded. The Great Void Sect has to try venturing on a new path. Of course, the path may be different but the target is the same."

"Whichever path we choose to take will depend on the detailed circumstance. If things are not right, then I will reverse naturally."

Chapter 603: Third Path of the Great Void Sect

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Yan Mingyue's tone was very relaxed, but Lin Feng knew that she had a huge burden on her shoulders.

To invent a third path between the conservative and radical faction, how could it be relaxed? Even her Master and the Supreme Elder Council would find it difficult too.

As what she said, she could walk a new path because the Great Void Sect encouraged their own disciples to do so.

Lin Feng laughed, "To you, embarking on a new route is the main point. Whichever boat you are on is not as important."

"That's not true. Only the best boat can survive the raging waves and open a new route." Yan Mingyue flicked her hair on her ears, "If the boat is too small, it may be swept by the waves even before it embarks on the new route."

Yan Mingyue laughed lightly, "Master Lin is really unpredictable. Now I really want to change boats, I'm not sure whether there's still time to?"

Lin Feng formed a radian with his lips, "You can do anything you want before you reach your destination. But it may not be the destination you are wishing for."

"The boat that I'm on, the captain has the same belief as me." Yan Mingyue said, "However, I'm more confident in the sea. No matter how big a boat is, it is still moving on the sea."

Lin Feng laughed, "That may not be the case. My boat may be able to fly? We shall see in the future. Whatever we say now doesn't impact things."

Yan Mingyue nodded her head and smiled, "Master Lin is right."

She paused for a moment before saying, "After retrieving part of the Hades' Dark Mantra in the Cloud Forest World, Liang Pan has other rewards too. If both parties collaborate, the Imperial Palace is not far from its prosperous era."

Lin Feng nodded his head and he looked indifferent, "Among the magic treasures in the destiny realm cultivated by human emperors, the Imperial Palace is the best. But it can do nothing to me."

Yan Mingyue replied, "Yes, Master Lin can defeat the Saintly Celestial Sword and the Great Void Holy Pavilion. Of course you are unafraid of the Imperial Palace."

"But I have to thank you. If it were not for your prior notice, I wouldn't have known that the Great Zhou Empire had other hidden cards." Lin Feng said, "Although I am unafraid, knowing about it beforehand can help me in my planning."

Yan Mingyue laughed, "I just did something simple, don't mock me Master Lin."

As they spoke till here, they ceased their conversation on such a topic and chatted leisurely.

"That lady has been sent by the Great Zhou Empire to Xiling City." Yan Mingyue looked at Lin Feng curiously, "Although this lady has a prosperous Yang aura in her Original Yin body, surely she doesn't warrant such attention by Master Lin?"

Lin Feng did not hide it from her and said, "A household manager of mine is her father."

Yan Mingyue was enlightened, "He avoided the Parent-Killing Ritual of the Heaven Lake Sect?"

"You are right, that is the case." As he said, Lin Feng looked up into the void space in the skies of the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land. A crack appeared there and an elder in a red robe appeared. It was Mei Wulang.

He was the superintendent of the Great Zhou Empire, head of the eunuchs, and the confidante of Liang Pan.

Lin Feng looked at him and his gaze flashed, "Is there something Liang Pan wants to tell me?"

Mei Wulang greeted Lin Feng, "His Majesty cordially invites you to Tianjing if you have the time."

Lin Feng said, "Not anytime soon. But you can tell him that I will go when I can."

"His Majesty said that you can come when it's convenient." Mei Wulang flapped his sleeves and a lady in white appeared beside him. Her appearance was charming and her lips were pale-white.

She looked around her and her gaze landed on Lin Feng. She stopped and she had a look of inquiry in her eyes.

This lady in white was Dao Zhiqiang's daughter, Dao Yuting.

Lin Feng used his mana to grab her before throwing her to Mount Yujing. Before she could react, a middle-aged man appeared in front of her.

The two of them looked at each other and they seemed to have been struck by lightning.

Song Qingyuan did not lie to Dao Zhiqiang in this aspect. Dao Yuting was indeed healed by the secret manual of Cao Wei. Her broken soul was healed, allowing her memories to be restored. Of course, she could remember the dark moments of her past too.

But as Lin Feng grabbed her, she had already forgotten these dark memories.

Dao Yuting looked at her father now and was unable to speak. There was a time when this man was like a pillar to her family in her heart

But after that, as her family disappeared, her impression of her father also became blurry. A figure flashed across in her mind, but she could not remember who he was anymore.

After that, her memory of her father and mother became clearer. Although she could not tell clearly, she was still happy.

But as she lived in the Heaven Lake, she could not share this joy with anyone. She had to bury it deep in her head, in case anyone found out and her memories might be wiped clean again.

Song Qingyuan knew her secret. Although she never liked him, she could only compromise, she did not want her only source of happiness to be removed.

Not long ago, she regained all her memories. Every moment she spent with her parents during her childhood was clear in her mind, but after that happiness she felt, Dao Yuting could only sense a boundless fear.

She was not foolish. Cao Wei and the rest changed the tradition of the sect that had been around for many years. She was an exception, which must be for a special reason.

It was only till recently that the Heaven Lake Sect was attacked, which made Dao Yuting more relaxed. But she was more confused, as she did not know how to proceed from then on. She did not know where to go to find her father.

Now, Dao Zhiqiang appeared in front of her alive and well. It was still the face from her memory, the same blood connection she felt, just that his hair was a little whiter and he had more wrinkles.

But it was still her father.

She started to cry and kneel in front of Dao Zhiqiang. Dao Zhiqiang was shocked and extended his hand to caress her hair.

He lifted his head suddenly and could not stop the tears from rolling down.

They looked at each other without speaking. As they met after so long, they did not know what to say.

For them, to meet again was a huge blessing.

Everything that happened on Mount Yujing was seen by Lin Feng. He smiled slightly and retracted his awareness. They let the two of them have some alone time.

Mei Wulang was already sent away by him. In his mind, a light figure flashed. The posture of Yan Mingyue was revealed and she smiled, "Master Lin, has that lady reunited with her father? It's a happy thing. In Buddhist terms, you have done a very good deed."

Lin Feng said, "You are exaggerating it."

Yan Mingyue smiled and said, "Okay, I have to face the interrogation of my sect now. I wish for your second sect-recruiting campaign to be successful."

"Let's hope your words will be fulfilled." After Lin Feng finished speaking, he cut off the communication with Yan Mingyue.

Yan Mingyue looked at the light figure that disappeared and was distracted for a moment, "I have never thought it will be like this."

She was in a sea of clouds, but not within the boundaries of the Great Zhou Empire. It was the place she grew up since young, Mount Baiyun.

"What a move, Junior Yan. I am ashamed as a senior." A calm voice resonated in the sea of clouds. The clouds dissipated and a youth in green stepped out. He looked average, but his simplicity was inspirational. It was Lin Daohan.

Yan Mingyue said, "Senior, please don't mock me. The leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was the main protagonist. I was just following the flow of things."

"I never thought that Kuang Heng and the Xuan Lin Holy Man would appear personally. They were defeated even though they brought the Formation Bursting Drum and the Void Yin-Yang Clock. Even with Xin Longsheng's Saintly Celestial Sword, Lin Feng could not be stopped."

Lin Daohan said, "The leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders can summon the power-destroying catastrophe. The result of the battle is logical, but unexpected."

Yan Mingyue asked, "Senior, what do you think is the level of cultivation of the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonder?"

"To be able to summon the power-destroying catastrophe with his own powers, he must have overcame the initial catastrophe. In other words, he must have the powers to overcome the initial catastrophe." Lin Daohan said, "If it was not because of this, Zheng Yi Holy Man would have challenged him even without the Great Void Holy Pavilion."

Yan Mingyue smiled, "Zheng Yi Holy Man is a deep person. He will not make a move rashly."

Lin Daohan replied, "This may not be so. The Xuan Lin Holy Man lost the stone stairs. If it not were for weird movements in the Barren Expanses, Grandmaster and Master would have made a move."

Yan Mingyue asked, "What are the intentions of the sect leader and the Supreme Elder Council now? After things settle down in the Barren Expanses, will they find the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders?"

Lin Daohan shook his head. He said, "Master and the Supreme Elder Council have other plans."

Yan Mingyue was astonished, but she did not probe. She only said, "Big Senior, what do you think of the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders?"

"From the perspective of the entire Divine Lands, he is a blessing for the human race." Lin Daohan said, "But he must have self-control, otherwise he will be another Emperor of the Dead or Emperor of Violence."

Yan Mingyue sighed slightly and looked at the sea of clouds, "For this sort of things, who can tell?"

Within the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, Lin Feng's attention was placed on the Dragon Rock Gate. He revealed a bitter smile on his face.

Shi Tianhao had entered for more than a day, but he had not come out yet.

According to Shi Yu, there was no real danger in the Dragon Rock Gate. Thus, if Shi Tianhao did not come out, it must be because he did not want to.

Prince Anliang's face turned green and the Vivant Joy Holy Man shook his head and laughed bitterly. Shi Xingyun was also speechless.

Shi Yu turned his head to look at Lin Feng. With his royal aura, he sighed, "Master Lin, are you going to make a move or do you want me to?"

Chapter 604: Temperament of a Powerful Sect

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng was a little speechless as he looked at the Dragon Rock Gate. He sighed and said, "I shall trouble you to help me, Comrade Shi."

Shi Yu nodded his head and extended his hand. As countless streaks of golden light shone, they converted into a golden dragon which rushed into the Dragon Rock Gate.

After a brief moment, the golden dragon returned from the Dragon Rock Gate. A dragon claw was grabbing onto a tall youth. It was Shi Tianhao.

"Aren't the items inside the Dragon Rock Gate mine to use? I just caught some dragon bones." Shi Tianhao said while raising his brows.

Shi Zongyue and the rest's faces turned black. Not only did Shi Tianhao have a keen eye, he had quick hands too.

The Great Qin Empire was different from the Great Void Sect. The Heaven Lake bred True Dragons. There were a few True Dragons' habitats under the Great Qin Empire, but most of them were from the Primordial Age. The dragon remains buried in the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land were the greatest wealth of the Great Qin Empire.

The Dragon Rock Gate was not easily opened. On the other side of it, there were many magic treasures. Its spiritual energy was bountiful, thus the Great Qin Empire kept many dragons' remains there to nourish them.

Eventually, Shi Tianhao's appetite was very huge. He also became more and more picky. He was not interested in anything else but the dragon remains.

Shi Xingyun was a little speechless, "Tianhao, you are free to take them. If you want to take the dragon bones, it's fine too. But have you only heard half the instructions?"

Shi Tianhao blinked his eyes innocently. Shi Xingyun sighed, "Your time limit is a day."

"Oh, I forgot." Shi Tianhao was not embarrassed, "However, one day is too short. Give me a few more days. You don't know how difficult it is to dig for the dragon bones which have not been cultivated."

Shi Xingyun wanted to tell him that she obviously knew that it was difficult to dig for these dragon bones, but that was his problem. This didn't mean that they should give him more time to dig for the bones.

Lin Feng understood how thick-skinned Shi Tianhao was under the guise of his innocence. He apologized to Shi Yu, "I'm sorry." After that, he grabbed Shi Tianhao over.

In front of Lin Feng, Shi Tianhao did not fool around anymore. He said honestly, "I was too busy, thus I forgot."

Shi Yu looked at Shi Tianhao and said, "I will give you the title as a Marquis." His voice was not loud, but it travelled far and wide. Everyone in the Dragon Battle Arena heard it clearly. Even outside the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, Shi Yu's voice resonated in the entire Xiling City.

Within the city, everyone was debating. They knew the result between the battle of the two Shis. For Shi Yu to say something like this, either he was referring to Shi Tianhao or Shi Tianyi.

Shi Tianhao stood in front of Lin Feng. Right now, he was calm and seemed like a middle-aged man who had gone through a lot in life. He rushed towards Shi Yu and hugged him, "Thank you Elder."

Shi Zongyue, Shi Xingyun and Shi Chongyun gave him weird stares and many emotions flashed across their eyes.

Although Shi Tianhao obeyed the orders, the way he addressed Shi Yu revealed his true intentions.

To him, the Great Qin Empire was an outsider. The Celestial Sect of Wonders was where he truly belonged.

As he accepted the title, it was more because of the cordial ties between the Great Qin Empire and the Celestial Sect of Wonders. If both parties were at odds, Shi Tianhao would have ignored Shi Yu.

Even though he would have become the youngest Marquis in the history of the Great Qin Empire.

But even Shi Chongyun didn't think that it was unwarranted. Not only was it because of Shi Tianhao's potential and abilities, it was also due to Lin Feng.

Shi Yu did not even think that it was inappropriate. He even went further to give titles to Shi Tianhao's missing father and grandfather. Furthermore, he instructed everyone who entered the Void Battleground to look for Shi Tianhao's relatives.

This series of orders left Shi Tianhao comforted as he heard it. He reciprocated them more as his family members were given titles rather than when a title was given to him.

Lin Feng nodded slightly and accepted Shi Yu's kind intentions. Through Shi Tianhao's family, the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Great Qin Empire became even more connected.

Since Shi Tianhao had exited the Dragon Rock Gate, Lin Feng and the rest no longer had to stay at the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land. They left this alternate space and returned to Xiling City.

After the second notice of sect recruitment was published, Lin Feng waited at Xiling City for interested individuals to come.

Some people even acted secretly and tried to intercept the talents that wanted to sign up for the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Lin Feng reacted to their lowly tricks and caused them to be petrified.

By defeating the Great Void and Mount Shu, Lin Feng revealed his insight too. No one dared to create trouble for him.

Within a month, it was difficult for an average person to travel across the vast Grand Celestial World. But Lin Feng had liaised with Shi Yu and Liang Pan to activate their transportation resources for convenience.

They were now working closely together. The Great Qin and Great Zhou Empire would not tamper with things unnecessarily.

Of course, it was possible for them to exploit the opportunity to stir trouble within the Celestial Sect of Wonders. But Lin Feng expected all of this and had his own way of dealing with it.

A month passed very fast. And within this one month, there were many changes in the Great Qin Empire internally.

The Great Qin Empire's aristocratic families were removed completely.

There were not much of the instabilities that people expected. On the contrary, everything was peaceful.

Among the heads of these aristocratic families, the Four Great Aristocratic Families, the Huo Clan had always been on the side of the royal family. They had always been watching over the northern borders where the boundary pathway to the Barren Expanses was.

The Yu Clan was removed by the Celestial Sect of Wonders more than a month ago. Yu Xintao was taken away by Lin Feng and his Immortal Soul was trapped in the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner. Whereas the Yu Clan's residence was razed to the ground by Xiao Yan.

After the battle between the two Shis at the Dragon Battle Area, the side supporting Shi Tianyi disappeared totally. All the Shi Clan members that chased and surrounded Shi Tianhao's parents were detained and the ones who supported Shi Tianhao in the family attained important positions.

After seeing Shi Yu in the royal palace, Shi Wu, the clan leader of the Shi Clan, went into the Void Battleground to search for Shi Tianhao's grandfather and parents.

The Shi Clan stood on the side of the Great Qin Empire and supported them in their bid to remove the aristocratic families.

The most low-profile clan of the Four Great Aristocratic Families, the Huo Clan, caused a huge surprise this time.

The entire Huo Clan migrated to the side of the Great Zhou Empire. The Great Zhou Empire had already removed all the powers of the aristocratic families within their empire, but they were willing to accept the Huo Clan.

There was a small dispute that was initiated between the Great Zhou and Great Qin Empire naturally.

But following the elimination of the Yu Clan, the switching of sides by the Shi Clan and the migration of the Huo Clan, the leaders of the aristocratic families in the Great Qin Empire had all disappeared.

The remaining families were all medium-sized. While they did not have particularly outstanding individuals, the power they held was still quite substantial. They were spread in every corner of the Great Qin Empire. But as they faced this round of purging, most of them chose to submit instead.

That was because the leader of these families knew that the foundation of the aristocratic families in the Great Qin Empire was the Great Void Sect, Mount Shu Sword Sect and the secret support of the Great Zhou Empire and other powers.

If the two Holy Grounds were crumpled in the battle of Xiling City, and the Great Zhou Empire decided to remain quiet despite accepting the Huo Clan, then the powers of the aristocratic families were at risk.

While they could still bring trouble to the Great Qin Empire, they could not do any better than that.

It might be a little dirty cleaning up the mess left by the aristocratic families, but it just needed time.

A purging activity that was expected to cause great chaos was eventually very peaceful. From the start till the end, there was stability and a lack of commotion.

Lin Feng did not really bother with this. What he was bothered by was how many disciples these medium-sized families could provide him with.

Even though they submitted to the Great Qin Empire, their vital energies would have suffered a setback. If they wanted to preserve the vital energies of their respective clans, they could either bribe the royal family or latch onto a powerful organization.

And who was better than the Celestial Sect of Wonders, which had just defeated the Great Void Sect and Mount Shu Sword Sect?

Not only was it powerful enough, it also had close ties with the Great Qin Empire. If there were disciples in their clans that could join the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the Great Qin Empire had to give some face too.

For such disciples from the aristocratic families, Lin Feng was willing to accept them.

Speaking from the bottom of the heart, a comfortable environment bred corruption. This was the objective truth. There were many wastrels in the aristocratic families that did not live up to their potentials.

But on the contrary, there were many outstanding talents with thick cultivation resources, high level mantra collections and capable masters, allowing them to fulfil their potentials.

The talents in these aristocratic families were more just normal people. Among the average people, there were many talents. But they were like needles in a haystack. It was too difficult to find them. It had to depend on luck.

As for the complex backgrounds of the disciples of the aristocratic families, there were too many implications, such as negative influences after joining etc. Such problems had to be considered, but they should not be taken too harshly.

Over at Shazhou County, Wang Lin's and Xiao Yan's clan members were already developing stronger. There would be more of them who want to join the Celestial Sect of Wonders and benefits could be reaped. Many of these individuals were starting to cultivate using different kinds of mantras they searched for.

Xiao Yan's family was a cultivation family. Even Wang Lin's family had the tendency to grow now.

Many people feared the growing Celestial Sect of Wonders, causing the Wang and Xiao families to be feared too, even though their powers were not that great yet.

It was not to say that they were relying on the Celestial Sect of Wonder's reputation, but that others had to consider the presence of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

That was why Lin Feng did not mind the disciples from the aristocratic families joining his sect, even if they came from medium-sized families that were not very strong.

The medium-sized families were not in the league of the Celestial Sect of Wonders anymore, such that no conflicts could arise between both parties anymore.

That was a path every powerful sect had to take. Not to say the Great Void Sect or Mount Shu Sword Sect, even when Murong Yanran joined the Sword of Radiance Sect initially, the Murong Family gained some glory.

If one had the power to give another party benefits, better conditions and a homelier feel, then a normal person would always make the correct choice.

If one was just slightly stronger than his opponent, he could invite the scheming of the opponent. Then that person had to be wary. But if one was much stronger, the weaker opponent could only submit.

This was the privilege of a powerful sect, and also the temperament of a powerful sect.

Of course, this was only applicable in normal circumstances. If there were really maleficent disciples, Lin Feng had his ways of banishing them. His sect recruitment campaign invested more preparations this time compared to the first time.

However, after waiting for a month, Lin Feng did not know whether to laugh or cry at the situation.

Chapter 605: Second Sect-Opening Ceremony!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Before he opened his sect to disciples, Lin Feng had already prepared himself psychologically. Although he was opening it up to everyone in the world, he was worried about the quality of disciples that might come.

Besides the Great Void Sect and Mount Shu Sword Sect, the Great Zhou Empire and Great Qin Empire had their own talent gathering grounds. They were used to nurture talents outside of the royal family. If there were outstanding individuals, besides teaching them powerful mantras, there would be huge amount of resources invested into them too.

The rest, such as the Samsara Sect, Heavenly Master Sword Sect, Royal House of the Northern Tribes, Purple Clouds Sect, Sword of Radiance Sect, Vast Sea Sword Sect, and even the Heaven Lake Sect did the same thing too. The huge clans like the Huo Clan, Shi Clan, Yu Clan and Lei Clan were also the same.

Regardless of which clans, they would absorb talents within their power boundaries. They would filter all sorts of talented youths a few times.

Many of these talents displayed minor potential and were already accepted as disciples.

Lin Feng did not have any hope for many talents in this sect-opening ceremony. He wanted to use quantity to compensate for whatever shortfalls in quality. With huge numbers of people, there should be a few talents inside, even if the probability was low.

All in all, it was a matter of luck.

But after a month passed, Lin Feng was unsure whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the situation.

There were not many of them whose talent statistic score was presentable. Even those with some gifts were pretty average.

With the reputation of the Celestial Sect of Wonders now, Lin Feng was confident of helping those with average talents to establish their foundations in 50 years' time. But the resources invested would be too much and it would not be well-spent. Just thinking about it made him feel the pinch.

Just like the first Sect-Opening Ceremony, there were talents with scores above 25. Although the numbers were little, it was still considerable.

But it's a pity that there were very few of them who were exceptional.

He expected that the disciples contributed by the small aristocratic families in the Great Qin Empire to be their most outstanding ones.

But there were many of them which did not catch Lin Feng's eye. After all, Innate Ability, Intelligence, Determination and Fortune were the four components Lin Feng could use to tell a person's talents. But most people could only tell the Innate Ability. Since it was more direct, it was also more convenient for comparison purposes.

For someone to judge the Intelligence and Determination was a very rare sight, not to even say Fortune.

There were many who wanted to join, but there were few that caught Lin Feng's eye.

Even with such a huge number of people, there was not even one of them whose talent statistic score was above 30.

"Alright, 30 is too high a score, but at least 27 or 28 shouldn't be too difficult?" Lin Feng shook his head and laughed, "For the Sect-Opening Ceremony this time, let's not hype it too much and get no valuable rewards from it."

Lin Feng might say this, but he did have some confidence. Why? That was because he had already chosen a talent to form the foundation. Since he had a candidate in mind, he was not panicky.

This person was Dao Yuting.

After the Heaven Lake Sect was eliminated, her ties with her sect members were naturally cut. Lin Feng could also tell her talent statistic score.

Innate Ability was 8 points, Intelligence was 8 points, Determination was 8 points and Fortune was 5 points.

They amounted to a total of 29 points. It was almost 30. The three components of Innate Ability, Intelligence and Determination were all 8 points each. Besides her lacking aspect of Fortune, there was not much to pick on her.

Although it was not 30, her future achievements could be predicted. She had been shortlisted as Lin Feng's target to nurture in the future.

Average Fortune? If she can't do things well on her own, then the sect could replenish them with resources.

Lin Feng was confident, but the majority of the rest were not sure.

Although Lin Feng saw many talents coming to join his sect, there were not many exceptional ones.

There's nothing that he could do. During the battle of Xiling City, Lin Feng was too eye-catching. His disciples, Shi Tianhao and Yue Hongyan, overcame Shi Tianyi and Bai Xiqian respectively, and were equally eye-catching. Under such a circumstance, the powers of the entire Celestial Sect of Wonders continued to grow, causing many to feel uncomfortable with it.

The Great Qin Empire and Great Zhou Empire did not thwart Lin Feng's plans this time and even helped him. But to claim that Shi Yu and Liang Pan were truly pleased for him was an overstatement.

With Lin Feng holding the fort, Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao and the rest continued to develop. After that, as the powers of the Celestial Sect of Wonders grew at every level, people would start regarding them as another cultivation holy ground.

For the Royal House of the Northern Winds, Purple Clouds Sect, Sword of Radiance Sect and the Sun Moon Sword Sect, who had good ties with the Celestial Sect of Wonders, they heaved a sigh of relief.

It was commonly said that a dragon and a snake could never be friends. For two different people on different levels, it was very difficult for them to become friends. Even if they did, as their gap lengthened, their friendship would die someday.

At times, it's not because the stronger one forsook the weaker one. On the contrary, because one was too strong, he might not be bothered about the opinions of the rest.

On the other hand, the weaker one would become more and more humiliated under the attack of others. This caused him to become more and more uncomfortable and hurt his ego.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders, or rather Lin Feng, rose very quickly. According to the time in the Greater World, they rose to be able to tackle the Great Void Sect and Mount Shu Sword Sect. While it caused a huge surprise, it also gave the feeling to others that they could not catch up.

It's not that they did not want to change their perspective and readjust their attitudes. Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders rose too quickly for them to handle.

It was not that they did not want to change, but that the world changed too fast for them to catch up.

When the Celestial Sect of Wonders had its first Sect-Opening Ceremony, Liang Tonghui from the Heavenly Master Sword Sect and the Azure Clouds Grandmaster from the Sword of Radiance Sect were only in the Nascent Soul Stage.

But now, even the Celestial Sword Elder and the Supreme Radiance Swordmaster had no confidence in facing Lin Feng, even though they were in the Immortal Soul Stage Second Level.

Lin Feng sat quietly in one room, while he let his disciples handle the work of welcoming those who wanted to become disciples. When these people came, he used his Talent Analysis Device to test their potentials.

Those who were suitable were kept, but they were not accepted officially yet. They were in contention, but Lin Feng had another official test for them. Those who had hidden intentions would be kicked out.

For these disciples with hidden intentions, it was okay to leave a few of the more talented ones behind. Too many of them would not be good.

"Oh?" Lin Feng was stunned for a moment. Someone who just came had a rather astonishing gift.

"Innate Ability of 8 points, Intelligence of 8 points, Determination of 6 points and Fortune of 6 points?" Lin Feng looked over and saw a gentle and small figure. It was a cute young lady standing and she watched shyly as Xiao Yan and Yue Hongyan welcomed her.

"Her four talent statistics are not bad." Lin Feng was a little distracted. The total was 28 points and both Innate Ability and Intelligence had reached 8 points. Her statistics were pretty good. While her Determination was a little average and her Fortune was not spectacular, they were both sufficient.

Overall speaking, she had high potential. But time was needed to ensure her potential was fulfilled.

However, what made Lin Feng surprised was that the young lady had some cultivation background. She had already reached the Qi Cultivation Stage.

"At such an age…" Lin Feng was interested now. He observed carefully for a moment. She looked like she was only 11 or 12 years old. She was about as old as Jun Zining, maybe a little younger. But her cultivation was a level higher than her.

Both of their talents were about the same, but the gap in their cultivations were not close. Jun Zining was from the Jun Family in the Ancient Yuantian World. After all, she had an Immortal Soul Stage Elder as her elder. Honestly speaking, it was not far off from the Yu Clan or Huo Clan.

This young lady had a higher cultivation. In other words, she could barely win Xiao Yan when he was at Wuzhou County many years ago.

This meant that the mantras that she cultivated and resources she had since young were more than Jun Zining. She was much better than Xiao Yan when he was young.

Such a person is seeking a Master?

She did not belong to any sect, inherited her cultivation from her family, or did she have any hidden intentions?

Xiao Yan and Yue Hongyan were also a little shocked as they looked at her. After the two of them looked at each other, Yue Hongyan asked first, "What are you called?"

The young lady replied, "I am called Zhuge Wanqiu. I have seen the both of you."

"You have cultivated mantras before?" Yue Hongyan asked. Zhuge Wanqiu nodded her head and said naturally, "I learnt from my father."

Yue Hongyan asked, "Where's your father?"

Zhuge Wanqiu looked a little down, "He said that he was going to the Void Battleground. He says that it is a little dangerous to bring me in, thus he asked me to come here to sign up to be a disciple."

Xiao Yan asked her suddenly, "Why does he want you to come to the Celestial Sect of Wonders?"

Zhuge Wanqiu replied with, "He says that the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is powerful. If I join the Celestial Sect of Wonders, I will not be bullied by others. Even if he goes to the Void Battleground, he can also be rest assured of my safety."

As she said this, Xiao Yan and Yue Hongyan were perplexed. Lin Feng was also stunned in his room.

After a while, Lin Feng regained his awareness and shook his head while laughing, "This Zhuge guy is really clever."

Yue Hongyan sized Zhuge Wanqiu up and made the same judgment as Lin Feng. For her to have such a cultivation at her age, the mantras she cultivated and the resources she had was definitely special. Yue Hongyan asked, "What is your father's name?"

Zhuge Wanqiu replied, "His name is Zhuge Zhan."

Xiao Yan and Yue Hongyan did not seemed to have heard of his name before.

Lin Feng was slightly enlightened, "Oh, it's him. No wonder he lets his daughter come to me."

Lin Feng had heard of his name before, but he did not really know him. This person was an independent cultivator. He did not have a permanent place where he resided, but his powers were strong. As an independent cultivator, he reached the Immortal Soul Third Level. In the entire circle of Immortal Soul Stage Elders in the Divine Land, his name was very reputable. He was considered an elite among the independent cultivators.

But he was a weird person. His mood was unpredictable. He was also very protective. Once, to protect his son who made a mistake, he clashed with the Great Thunderclap Temple.

But now he threw his daughter to Lin Feng, because Lin Feng was as protective as him.

Lin Feng shook his head and laughed, "The thing is that we have not met before. But since you have such confidence in me, I will not ignore your daughter. But of course, she must pass my test first."

After accepting Zhuge Wanqiu, he waited a few more months. Lin Feng decided that the time was ripe and announced that the second Sect-Opening Ceremony had started.

In the southern part of the skies outside Xiling City, purple clouds surged and the White Jade Celestial Mountain escaped from void space.

Those who wanted to join the sect followed Xiao Yan outside of Xiling City. They looked at an image in front of them dazedly.

Chapter 606: The Enemy is Coming

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng sat on the main seat in the Grand Heavens Pavilion at the peak of Mount Yujing. Diagonally in front of him, on both sides, Shi Zongyue, the Supreme Radiance Swordmaster, Blue Pavilion Holy Man and the rest of the guests who were invited for the ceremony were seated in different seats.

Everyone was curious as they looked at the image in the light figure above the Grand Heavens Pavilion.

Lin Feng knocked the handle of his seat lightly and a streak of Purple Clouds descended from Mount Yujing, forming many Purple Clouds stairs. They appeared in front of everyone outside of Xiling City.

Everyone looked at the Purple Clouds stairs curiously and Lin Feng's voice resonated, "Follow the stairs up. Those who can reach the peak of the mountain can stay. The time limit is a day. The time starts now."

Everyone looked at one another with perplexed looks and they started to ascend the stairs.

At the start, there was nothing much. But after they followed the Purple Clouds and ascended the stairs, the Purple Clouds in front of them became thicker and thicker. At the end, it was like fog. Everyone could not see what's in front of them. As they looked all around them, they discovered that their companions beside them had disappeared.

On the stairs and within the Purple Clouds, one could see nothing. If one shouted, no one would reply either. It was as if only one person remained in the world.

After all, everyone was still young. While some of them came from aristocratic families and could remain calm at the start, as time passed, they became more and more panicky and all sorts of personalities were revealed.

There were those who kept on climbing in the hope of reaching the top, while there were those who moved around like headless flies. There were even those who turned around and descended, hoping to rid themselves of this hell-like environment.

Only a few of them were brilliant and remained resilient. They based on their senses to advance the stairs.

But as they walked, countless images appeared in front of them. They could not differentiate the images. The Purple Clouds cultivated the things in their mind to form images, causing everyone who was tested to feel unbelievable.

But naturally, some of their inner demons were also displayed in front of them.

On Mount Yujing, within the Grand Heavens Pavilion, Lin Feng sat without moving. As he looked at the different personalities in the light figure. His expression did not change, as if he did not bother.

But everyone in the pavilion felt a little uncomfortable. Lin Feng just wanted to test the background of those who came to join his sect and he had no interest in unearthing their secrets. But if they were targeted towards the Celestial Sect of Wonders, they would be shown.

Someone stood up and clasped his palm and fist together towards Lin Feng, expressing his apologies.

Lin Feng gestured and he lowered his head before leaving the pavilion. He left the mountain as he could no longer watch.

The Purple Clouds stairs that were used for the test not only removed those with flawed characters, it also eliminated those who had hidden agendas.

At the end, there were around 200 people who came up to Mount Yujing and appeared before the Grand Heavens Pavilions to greet their Master.

The leading individuals were Li Yuanfang, Luo Qingwu, Dao Yuting and Zhuge Wanqiu.

Maybe it was due to their cultivations, or maybe it was due to their characters, which helped them ascend the stairs the quickest.

A queue of disciples was led by Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi, and they bowed and greeted Lin Feng.

After the Sect-Opening Ceremony was over, Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi led them away. Whereas Lin Feng looked at Shi Zongyue and the rest, "I have to count on the Great Qin in the future. If there are those who go to Shazhou County with the intention to join, please do me a favor."

Shi Zongyue nodded his head, "Of course, Master Lin. You don't have to stand on ceremony."

As he bade goodbye to everyone, Lin Feng sent him down the mountain and guided him to Mount Kunlun.

At this point, the travels of Xiling City had reached its ending.

If there was something Lin Feng was not pleased with, it was that the second batch of disciples were slightly average in quality. He had to remain vigilant to seek for those who were talented.

On Mount Yujing, the Disciples' Abode had already been expanded. Zhu Yi brought everyone to their lodging and turned around, saying, "Today is the Sect-Opening Ceremony. After paying our respects to the ancestors, I will lead you all to your resting place. For those without any cultivation, I will teach you all the foundation of mantras. We will start from the beginning."

Everyone was humble, "We shall await the instructions of Elder Zhu."

Zhu Yi continued with, "For those with cultivations, no matter how high or low, you will undergo a test in 10 days' time. This is to decide who you will be under and what you will be leaarning. In these few days, rest yourself and familiarize yourself with the spiritual energy on the mountain."

Li Yuanfang, Luo Qingwu, Dao Yuting and the rest nodded their heads and returned to their lodging areas to rest.

The elder disciples in the Disciples' Abode were also sizing up the new disciples that just came.

"Forget those without any cultivations. For those who are experienced, if they go for the test and pass it, won't they overtake us?" Someone commented worriedly.

Someone beside him snorted, "They come from families with cultivation backgrounds. They have cultivated since young and have various resources to help them. If I had such a background, I will be better than them."

Everyone was discussing, before Zhu Yi's voice sounded, "All of you can join the test in 10 days' time. If you have spare time, why not use it to understand your mantras."

A bunch of them were slightly scared, but more of them were excited, "This is great. I didn't pass it a year ago, but I have the chance now! I must pass this test and become an official disciple"

"That's right. In the past year, we have been cultivating effortlessly on the mountain. We have been waiting for this chance."

The older disciples were excited and the new disciples also turned around, as they await the impending test.

As this scene landed in the eyes of Li Xingfei, Xu Yunsheng and the rest, they looked at one another and laughed. When they joined the test in the past, they were also very excited.

Liu Xiafeng laughed, "I wonder how many of them will pass this test?"

Xu Yunsheng said, "That Comrade Li should be able to. I also saw a lady with a pretty high cultivation, even higher than Comrade Li. She might be in the Intermediate Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage, or even in the Advanced Stage already.

Fatty stuck out his tongue, "Doesn't that make her as good as Fifth Uncle?" Liu Xiafeng slapped his head and Yan Wuwei mocked him. He was talking without thinking again.

Ying Luozha looked at the Disciples' Abode and was a little distracted. She was shocked for a while, but did not speak. She then turned around and left.

Liu Xiafeng looked at Ying Luozha, "Why is he leaving?"

Li Xingfei sighed, "I think he is going back to cultivate."

Ying Luozha was very competitive. He and Xu Yunsheng had always been the elites among the second-generation disciples. He had always treated Xu Yunsheng as his only competitor. For the rest, such as Li Xingfei and Liu Xiafeng, he did not even consider them as his competitors.

But the newly inducted disciples, Li Yuanfang, Dao Yuting, Zhuge Wanqiu and even Luo Qingwu, gave him a huge pressure.

Rather than talking, he rather return and cultivate.

Xu Yunsheng bade goodbye to Liu Xiafeng and the rest, "I am going back to the Heavenly Temple too. I shall see all of you soon. Goodbye."

The rest were not surprised. After interacting with him for so long, they all knew that Xu Yunsheng was also very competitive underneath his polite exterior. From a certain perspective, he was very similar to Ying Luozha.

Liu Xiafeng shook his head, "The pressure is huge, the pressure is really huge. But the pressure provides motivation."

He smiled, "As compared to them, I do feel that our elders give us more pressures."

Yan Wuwei pursed his lips, "Is youngest uncle really only 13 years old? This is quite scary." (Translator's Note: Over here Yan Wuwei refers to Shi Tianhao as youngest uncle as a reference to his seniority in the sect)

The disciples on Mount Yujing watched the live broadcast. The few of them followed in to the Dragon Battle Arena and watched Shi Tianhao's and Shi Tianyi's battle.

That frightening image was stuck in their minds. Especially since Shi Tianhao was only 13 years old. He was younger than all of them, which gave them huge pressures.

"Shi Tianyi is also very strong." Li Xingfei said, "Beginner Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, with very few competitors in the Nascent Soul Stage. For youngest uncle to defeat him in his Aurous Core Stage, it means that youngest uncle is strong, and not that Shi Tianyi is weak."

Everyone had the same thought and Yan Wuwei laughed suddenly, "But, Grandmaster was the one who pulled the strings! The Great Void Sect and Mount Shu Sword Sect were useless in front of him. It's such a pleasure to watch!"

Liu Xiafeng and the rest smiled and Liu Xiafeng patted his shoulders, "You are exaggerating again. The level of Grandmaster's battle is beyond us and we can't understand it either. We can only see the flashing of light figures. We won't know the mysteries of it."

Yan Wuwei debated, "I may not understand, but at least I know Grandmaster won!"

The few of them were discussing heatedly. Lin Feng sat in the Grand Heavens Pavilion and looked at his own disciples. A smile was revealed on his face, "They are all the future of the sect."

At this point, in the Void Battleground, a raging void space thunderstorm had just settled down.

A crack appeared in space and a few human figures walked out of it. They remained in void space as if they were stepping on ground.

All of them donned black robes and their appearances could not be seen clearly. But they looked like the Envoy of the Hall of the Dead.

The leader of them said, "The target is Shi Tianhao's parents and grandparents."

Everyone nodded their heads in unison and the leader followed with, "The leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders kidnapped the Envoy of the Hall of the Dead. We cannot let this matter rest. But the hall leader is still retreating and we should not alarm him. We shall settle this on our own."

"The cultivation of the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is very high. But he has a weakness, which is his disciples. Shi Tianhao is his most doted on disciple. Whereas Shi Tianhao's weakness is his family."

"His lost parents and grandfather have been located by us recently. Now, we will capture them and then plot what to do." This leader became more serious in his tone and emphasized, "However, we must not face the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders directly. Although he won't come to the Void Battleground easily, if we meet him, we must abandon the operation. Self-preservation is our first priority."

"Fighting him shall wait until the hall leader finishes his retreat."

Everyone nodded their heads. If they were not convinced previously, the battle of Xiling City should have convinced them.

"While we recognize his powers, it does not mean that we won't take revenge." The leader said, "Those who offend the Hall of the Dead never have good endings."

"As the Celestial Sect of Wonders clash with the Great Void Sect and Mount Shu Sword Sect, we just have to make preparations. After that, we shall await the best opportunity. Regardless who wins, it will be beneficial for us."

Chapter 607: Shifting Mountains and Filling the Seas!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

On Mount Yujing, Lin Feng's supernatural awareness scanned everyone in the Disciples' Abode. On the whole, the quality was acceptable, but there was no one who was exceptional.

Except for Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu, there were none of them who reached a talent statistic score of 30.

Those who were rather exceptional were only Dao Yuting and Zhuge Wanqiu.

Whether these two could form the Nascent Soul in 50 years' time, it was a huge question mark. Everything was up to fate.

Lin Feng's style was to assume the worst. Thus, while he would nurture them with all his might, he would only expect them to reach the Aurous Core Stage by the 50 years.

In this way, there were still available slots for the ten Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. He had to continue finding talents who could do so.

According to Lin Feng's calculations, if the talent statistic had a score above 30 and if the Innate Ability was not average, then there was a high chance the Nascent Soul could be formed within 50 years.

Before forming the Nascent Soul, especially before forming the Aurous Core, the Innate Ability was the most important attribute. Not only was it related to the speed of cultivation, it also decided the foundation of a cultivator. If a yellow or green pill was formed, there was no longer any hope for a Nascent Soul.

Lin Feng's Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams was unbelievably powerful. As long as it's cultivated, it was almost certain for a first-grade spiritual altar to be formed. Following that, a first-grade crucible would also be formed and there was hope for a purple pill.

But the mantra's requirements of a person's potential were very strict. No ordinary person could match up to it. Otherwise, it would not have initiated the Yi Zi's Eight Trigrams Variorum.

Right now, only Lin Feng's Immediate Disciples could start from the orthodox Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtues. On one hand, it was because it was not easy to pass down the mantra. On the other hand, even if it could be passed down, it was difficult to inherit it unless the quality was there.

Wang Lin had a full score in his Intelligence and Determination. But because his Innate Ability was lacking, he was stuck in the Beginner Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage for a long time. He tried to forcefully establish the spiritual altar, but the grade was only so-so. This caused Lin Feng to interrupt his progress.

Only with the arrival of the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir, Heavens-Patching Vine, Supreme Rock Spiritual Altar and other treasures did he manage to cultivate successfully.

The resources invested into helping Wang Lin establish the spiritual altar were immense. If it was his family funding these resources, they might not even be able to fund much of them.

Furthermore, this was Wang Lin. If it was some other person with an average Innate Ability, he would not be able to establish the spiritual altar. He might not even open his aura sea and establish his foundation.

"The problem is, it's difficult to find someone with a score above 30. I found Tianhao and the rest due to luck." Lin Feng shook his head. Not to even mention Xiao Yan or Shi Tianhao whose scores reached 33 or 34 and who were destined individuals, finding those who could even reach scores of 30 to 32 was already very difficult.

Although some could not see the detailed statistics, Lin Feng could roughly gauge.

Among all the younger generation cultivators he met, there were only Shi Tianyi, the Marquis of Jinghuan, Shi Xingyun and Jiao Junchen who could reach above a score of 30. Even Jiao Junchen was still pretty uncertain.

Xiao Zhener could be excluded. Lin Feng could tell her statistics clearly.

Tao Yaoyao's Innate Ability, Intelligence and Determination should not be low, but her Fortune was probably quite average. It was around the same as Dao Yuting.

"If I knew this day will come, I should have kidnapped Xiao Zhener over." Lin Feng sighed. She had already formed the Nascent Soul. Even if she was kidnapped over now, the system would not recognize her.

Lin Feng stood up and walked out of the Grand Heavens Pavilion, "A heavy burden and a long road to walk."

This second sect-recruiting campaign was a preparation for the future Foundation Establishment Stage and Aurous Core Stage disciples. Along with the first sect-recruiting campaign, there was a positive outlook.

Lin Feng had to continue to keep a lookout. Although finding the perfect talent was largely due to luck, hard work was still required.

After Shi Tianhao and the rest formed the Nascent Soul, Lin Feng would let the few of them into the outside world and see who they can scout.

"Damn it, this is making me anxious. I have to make a big move." Lin Feng thought rather heartlessly. "Too evil? But it is likely to work out."

He appeared in front of Shi Tianhao's Wasteland Valley. Within the valley, the dragon stature was mighty. If someone was kept in the loop, he might have thought he was in the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land.

Lin Feng entered the Wasteland Valley and saw Xiao Yan, Yue Hongyan, Yang Qing and the rest of them there. They gathered around Shi Tianhao and they were speechless.

Beside Shi Tianhao, there was a huge pile of dragon bones over there. Some of these bones were flawless, but there were those who were damaged.

These dragon bones belonged to dragons who were in the Demon Lord realm that had formed the Demon Soul. Even if they had perished, their dragon statures were still very mighty.

But Shi Tianhao dug them out very easily, as if he did not expend any effort.

There was a set of incomplete remains, which belonged to a dragon which had formed the Undying Demon Soul.

"You exceeded the time in the Dragon Rock Gate to dig this out?" Xiao Yan asked. Shi Tianhao nodded his head, "It's a little tedious. The dragon looks the same even after it has perished."

Everyone rolled their eyes at him as he was saying something obvious.

He dug the remains of a dragon with an Undying Demon Soul. Even a dead camel was bigger than a horse, what more a dragon?

As they saw Lin Feng arriving, everyone greeted him. Lin Feng ignored the dragon bones as they belonged to Shi Tianhao. He could do whatever he wanted with them.

"Where's that Angmao Skull?" Lin Feng asked. Shi Tianhao's eyes brightened up and he laughed, "I just needed your help, Master." (Translator's Note: Angmao refers to a mythical demon bird)

The void space above him started to crack suddenly. A cauldron was revealed. Inside the cauldron, there was the Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness and the Aurora Polar Mirror. The vibration of the Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness became more intense.

Without Shi Tianhao's powers to help, these two Nascent Soul Stage magic items didn't seem to be able to repress the magic treasure embryo.

Lin Feng pointed and retracted the Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness and the Aurora Polar Mirror. A golden skull flew out, which was surrounded by purple lightning.

A light figure of a huge bird surfaced. It was extremely large and lightning was rumbling around it. The feathers on his chest, stomach and wings were dim golden in color, whereas the feathers on his head and tail was jade-green in color. Its crown was purplish-blue in color.

It was the Immemorial Demon, Thunder Beast Angmao.

As the figure of the Angmao appeared, it flapped its wings and flew up high. Its tri-colored feathers flapped and it was shooting towards the sky.

Lin Feng pointed again at the head of the Angmao. The light figure was destroyed. And at the position where Lin Feng pointed, the lightning dissipated and revealed a golden bone.

As Lin Feng pointed at it, the Angmao Skull lost its life power and its radiance disappeared. It felt from mid-space and was caught by Shi Tianhao.

"When you form the Nascent Soul, you shall cultivate another one." Lin Feng said, "Without breaking the original restrictions, the Great Void Sect's secret manual has a special side to it that can help you summon this magic treasure embryo in the Nascent Soul Stage."

He extended his finger and pointed to Shi Tianhao's forehead. At this moment, a spell was transferred into his mind. "This is the Great Void Sect secret manual that I have just consolidated. Go and understand it. When you finish, you can cultivate the magic treasure."

Shi Tianhao laughed while nodding his head, keeping his Angmao Skull.

After that, five days passed and Lin Feng observed the disciples in the Disciples' Abode quietly. His understanding of them grew. It was no longer just based on their talent statistics.

On the fifth day, Lin Feng sent the orders, "Everyone, please gather outside the Grand Heavens Pavilion."

Under the arrangement of Dao Zhiqiang, the disciples in the Disciples' Abode gathered at the empty space outside the Grand Heavens Pavilion. Over there, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest were already waiting with their official disciples.

When everyone was there, Lin Feng's voice resonated, "Descend the mountain."

Mount Yujing had already returned to Mount Kunlun. At this point, under Lin Feng's control, it escaped from void space and descended in the Greater World, floating in mid-space.

At the bottom of the mountain, it was the peak of the north foot of Mount Kunlun, Lingyun Peak. This was also the position where Mount Yujing first appeared in the world.

Under Lin Feng's orders, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest brought their disciples down the mountain. Everyone landed on the mountain peak beside Lingyun Peak.

On Mount Yujing, Lin Feng's mana converted into a ball of Purple Clouds and descended, covering the tip of Lingyun Peak.

In the next moment, the bunch of junior disciples opened their eyes wide and saw the tip of Lingyun Peak being cut off by the Purple Clouds.

The cross-section of the mountain tip was smooth, as if a tofu had been cut. A balanced surface was cut out.

Lingyun Peak reached the clouds and the body of the mountain was huge. The tip of the mountain that was cut out was like a mighty mountain, but as the Purple Clouds moved back and forth a little, the mountain tip that had been cut off disappeared. It was as if it never existed.

The bunch of disciples looked around. But as they looked around, they could not tell where the mountain tip was.

Following that, as the Purple Clouds re-surfaced, it landed beside Lingyun Peak. As the mountain tip re-appeared, it was like a huge wave hitting sandcastles on a beach. Very quickly, the other mountains were flattened.

Amidst the boom, dust flew around and caused a sandstorm.

In the next moment, the Purple Clouds seemed to have converted into a huge hand. As it dug the flattened ground, a huge hole was created.

As the Purple Clouds rumbled, spiritual energy was drawn from the sea of clouds and huge volumes of water filled the hole. A huge lake formed in an instant. From afar, it was as if an ocean had appeared in between the mountains.

The bottom of the lake was connected to the underground water of Mount Kunlun, guided by spiritual energy summoned by Lin Feng.

In a blink of an eye, the appearance of Mount Kunlun had changed completely. A huge plot of flattened ground appeared among the mountains. And a lake appeared on the flattened grounds. At the edge of the lake, there was a huge mountain erected and the mountain peak was level ground.

Liu Xiafeng, Xu Yunsheng and the rest looked at this scene and swallowed their saliva sub-consciously.

Shi Tianhao, Yue Hongyan and the rest could roughly understand how a battle worked and the miracles of it.

But on Lin Feng's level, while battling others was more miraculous and the spectacle was greater, to these Qi Cultivation Stage disciples, they could not understand at all. They could only judge that Lin Feng was stronger based on the opponents' strengths and weaknesses.

As they saw Lin Feng winning, the bunch of junior disciples were proud. But to ask them what was so powerful about Lin Feng, they wouldn't know as their realms were too far apart.

Whatever happened in front of everyone was nothing to Lin Feng. But as the others saw, they were shocked. They could understand his power. Thus, they acted more intuitively and this scene was etched in their minds.

Shifting mountains and filling the seas was easy for Lin Feng, but this scene shocked his disciples.

Chapter 608: From Flat Ground to Majestic City

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

After Lin Feng laid the foundation for the ground, his Purple Clouds disappeared and streaks and streaks of flowing radiance shot down from Mount Yujing.

The vast Heavens and the dense Earth, Light and Darkness, Pure Yang and Pure Yin, Permanence and Instance, Life and Death, Illusion and Reality.

Twelve streaks of flowing radiances that contained different power concepts each landed within the mountains.

Countless talismans and spell formations appeared in space. The twelves streaks of flowing radiances intersected, converting into a boundless formation. It covered the entire mountain region, including Lingyun Peak and the lake.

Li Yuanfang stared at the formation carefully, "It's the Two Elements of Creation Formation. There are a few other changes."

The formation stabilized and started to initiate. The junior disciples could not sense it, but Xiao Yan and the rest could immediately feel the spiritual energy within a few thousand miles radius gathering towards Lingyun Peak and the lake.

Between the mountain peak and the lake, one was tough and the other was gentle. One was Yin and one was Yang. One was still and one was active. The shadow of the mountain peak was cast on the lake while the lake reflected light onto the mountain. As they were reliant on each other, there was a perfect balance.

With the mountain and lake as the center, the formation was summoned. It altered the direction of the spiritual energy in the surroundings, infusing them within the Two Elements of Creation Formation.

After that, without Lin Feng's help, the formation started to spin on its own under the guidance of the spiritual energy.

A huge amount of spiritual energy gathered around the mountain and lake. The mountain and lake seemed to have their own lives. They started to breathe in like humans. As they spat and swallow spiritual energy, they achieved a perfect balance with the Heavens and Earth.

Lin Feng referenced to the perfect Two Elements of Creation Formation, and extracted the power essence from each of the 12 magic treasures inside the formation. Using that, he formed a new Two Elements of Creation Formation, infusing the secrets of the internal formation of the Disciples' Abode. This caused this formation to have an effect of gathering spiritual energy and life to Lingyun Peak.

Under the influence of the formation, the appearance of the surroundings was changed completely. The flow of spiritual energy had also changed.

There were very few large sects in the Mount Kunlun region. That was because the spiritual energy in this region was not very nourishing. While it was not lacking, it was not the best either.

Lin Feng's actions might not have reversed the situation on Mount Kunlun, making this place like Mount Baiyun. But at least it was better and more powerful than before.

While it was exhibiting the effect of gathering spiritual energy and life now, if the place was under attack, it could convert into a powerful battling stance in an instant and destroy the enemy.

Of course, this Two Elements of Creation Formation did not have a core formation map or any magic treasures. It was much weaker than the original formation of Lin Feng. After all, it was a pirated version of it.

But Lin Feng left a streak of his mana within the formation. He tapped on the spiritual energy gathered from nearby regions to achieve a geographical advantage. The defensive abilities of this formation were not ordinary. Even without anyone summoning it, it could move on its own and resist the attack of any cultivator below the Immortal Soul Stage.

Just that in this way, the characteristic of the formation was also changed. The Two Elements of Creation Formation did not need a specific location.

However, if this formation was supplemented by items like the Mingdu remains, Netherworld Purple Crystal and Pure Yang Primordial Fire, its powers would increase significantly.

Lin Feng invested a part of the Purple Clouds, Central Wutu Divine Light, Pure Yang Primordial Fire, Eternal Glow and the Instant Heavenly Gravel into it. Although the original formation map was not present, it could still exhibit the entire Heaven and Earth Change and Instant Change. Although it was a watered-down version, it was still very powerful.

After setting up the protective formation, another streak of Purple Clouds descended from Mount Yujing. On the flat ground above the lake, it set up another formation.

The position of the formation was directly opposite Lingyun Peak.

As the talismanic patterns surged, above the circular formation, void space shook. It opened a pathway and transcended boundless void space, which was never-ending.

Lin Feng struck his palm towards Mount Yujing and the powers transcended layers and layers of space, finally arriving at Shazhou County. Over there, there was a manor. It belonged to an enterprise owned by the Celestial Sect of Wonders in Shazhou County.

Lin Feng's powers landed in the manor and converted into a similar formation as before. As the formation flashed with radiance, void space was torn apart, achieving resonance with the lake. The pathway created by both sides connected with each other.

Lin Feng had set up a stable space-transportation formation. As the two formations were initiated at the same time, they formed a bridge between Shazhou County and the lake. This bridge was very stable. Even those without any cultivation could move between places through the formations, across thousands of miles.

Initiating the formation required powers. Someone would be appointed to be in charge of this in the future.

Following that, Lin Feng's palm clasped and the rocks in the lake started to thresh around. A majestic city rose from the ground. It was high, thus it was not in danger of flooding. The space-transportation formation was inside the city.

Shifting mountains and filling the seas, setting up a formation and erecting a city were easily done by Lin Feng. The bunch of junior disciples who saw these scenes were in awe.

"Grandmaster is indeed brilliant." Even Ying Luozha rubbed his eyes and said, "This is too exciting!"

Liu Xiafeng and the rest beside him nodded their heads repeatedly. Besides them, the others were also shocked.

Dao Yuting, Li Yuanfang, Luo Qingwu and Zhuge Wanqiu had experienced more things, but even they were stunned.

Zhuge Wanqiu thought for a while, "Father seems to be able to do it too. But he can't do it so easily. No wonder when Father heard about the result at Xiling City, he complimented the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

After finishing all these, Lin Feng did not make any moves. Xiao Yan and the rest had received his instructions earlier and knew the start and ending of the entire thing.

Xiao Yan said immediately, "According to our leader, this mountain will remove the 'Ling' word from it and it will called the Yun Peak from now on. From today onwards, there will be an external location for our sect and the disciples will be separated into Foundational and Successive Disciples."

"For all who have just joined, you will be known as Foundational Disciples. Above Yun Peak, that will be the training ground of the Foundational Disciples. Every 10 days, there will be someone who will pass on tips and guidance regarding cultivation. Every month, there will be a sect elder holding talks."

Everyone was listening seriously. Xiao Yan looked at them and said, "There will be random tests within the sect. Once the tests have been passed, you can promote to a Successive Disciple. A Successive Disciple will follow his Master for his future cultivation."

"There are seniority ranks within the Successive Disciples. After the Successive Disciples establish their foundations, they can accept disciples of their own. Whereas Foundational Disciples are all of the same ranks. The only difference is the time when you join the sect. Those who come in later shall call those who came in earlier as seniors."

Xiao Yan pointed to the lake and city, "This lake will be called the Mirror Lake, while the city will be called the Cloud Mirror City. This will be the place where the relatives of the Celestial Sect of Wonders reside in the future."

"Whoever is from the Celestial Sect of Wonders can settle your families there. For those who think that this city is too isolated, they can stay at Shazhou County. While for those who are unwilling to leave, they are free to stay where they are."

As everyone heard this, they started to think about a lot of things. They started to ponder carefully. They felt that every place had its pros and cons.

Although their families were in their hometowns which were far away, those who did not like being restrained would feel freer. After all, since they had already joined the Celestial Sect of Wonders, no one would dare to bully their families back in their hometown.

There were also those who thought that while the Cloud Mirror City was isolated, it was also beside the Yun Peak's lake. It was easier for them to reach out to their family members.

Shazhou County was the middle between the other two choices.

"Everything related to this will be managed by Dao Zhiqiang. For those who need help, you can find him."

Dao Zhiqiang was standing behind Xiao Yan right now. As Xiao Yan finished speaking, he nodded his head while smiling at the bunch of newly inducted disciples. Everyone also bowed towards him and did not dare to underestimate him.

Everyone who were observant knew that as Lin Feng gave his orders, this middle-aged man that looked ordinary actually held a lot of power.

In this family-shifting process, regardless of any choice, as long as Dao Zhiqiang was on one's side, he could benefit a lot from it.

Xiao Yan continued talking, "I have said before that after 5 days, all of you will welcome your first test. This test is mainly targeted towards those who have cultivated before. But those without cultivations can also join. It is voluntary."

"After passing the test, you can become a Successive Disciple. If you fail it, it's fine. You just have to continue cultivating on Yun Peak. In the near future, you will have another test."

He looked at one side. Zhu Yi and Wang Lin nodded their heads. One of them entered the Cloud Mirror City and the other ascended Yun Peak. They conjured a spell at the same time.

The two of them tapped on the remaining Purple Clouds that Lin Feng left behind and infused the Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtues mantra within it. As they combined with the earth and rocks, countless houses rose from the ground.

There were many rooms in the Cloud Mirror city. There were also more buildings on Yun Peak too, for people to reside.

The both of them showcased their skills this time. They awed the disciples who just watched Lin Feng exhibiting his powers. They were amazed by them.

At the same time, they became more passionate. From what they knew, Xu Yunsheng and the rest were only in the Qi Cultivation Stage. They had not established their foundations yet. If they became Successive Disciples now, their Masters would be Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest.

If Xu Yunsheng, Ying Luozha and Liu Xiafeng established their foundations, then their Masters would be uncertain.

There were seniority ranks among the Successive Disciples, but there were no ranks within the Foundational Disciples. This may lead to a particular situation. For two people who joined at the same time, one of them might become a Successive Disciple first while the other was still a Foundational Disciple. When the lagging one finally becomes a Successive Disciple, his previous companion might become his Master.

It might even be the case for someone who joined later to pass the test first and become a Successive Disciple. For the person who took longer to become a Successive Disciple, his previous junior might become his Master.

Overall speaking, the system emphasized a lot on achievements. That was why the abovementioned circumstances could happen. But as long as the test was fair, no one would comment much about it. On the other hand, they would become more motivated.

As for those who were jealous and plotted against others, such a situation was bound to be present.

But honestly speaking, Lin Feng was not too bothered about this. Educating and ensuring a positive atmosphere within the sect was his role. For those who decide to take the wrong path, they could just be treated as the bad guys. A sect was a microcosm of society. All forms of discipline should be present.

After Zhu Yi and Wang Lin finished, they returned beside Xiao Yan. Zhu Yi looked at the newly-inducted disciples and those from the first recruitment campaign that had not become Successive Disciple, before saying, "In the next 5 days, all of you will stay on Yun Peak to cultivate. After 5 days, your test will begin."

Chapter 609: A Mule or a Horse, Just Take It Out for a Stroll

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Letting them stay on Mount Yujing for 5 days before putting them on Yun Peak for another 5 days was a way of inspiring these Foundational Disciples to aim to be better.

Although Lin Feng used his powers to gather the spiritual energy of Mount Kunlun and the nearby regions, improving the conditions to some extent, this place was still far off from Mount Yujing.

To say one was the Heavens and one was the Earth would be an exaggeration. But to experience the spiritual energy on Mount Yujing before going to Yun Peak would allow one to feel the difference.

Very soon, the bunch of Foundational Disciples were anxious as they awaited their test.

These few days, Lin Feng and the rest did not slack off either. Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao and the rest all made their own preparations.

Just like the other time, the test was divided into two rounds. Lin Feng would be the main judge for one round and the disciples who passed had the liberty to choose the Master they wanted. After that, Xiao Yan and the rest would then choose their own disciples, as they proceeded with the second round of test.

If those who passed Lin Feng's test were brushed off by the Masters they chose, they would not be kicked out. Lin Feng would decide for them and allocate them accordingly.

Lin Feng was also making his own preparations. But it had nothing to do with the tests. Rather, he was trying to improve and complete the construction of new buildings for his own sect.

Although the Cloud Mirror City was newly built and seemed isolated, there were already disciples who wanted to move their families there. Under Dao Zhiqiang's support and through the space-transportation formation between the Cloud Mirror City and Shazhou County, the shifting was already ongoing.

Lin Feng had also instructed Dao Zhiqiang to search for reliable individuals to boost his housekeeping staff volume. Their main role was to take care of the chores.

Between the Cloud Mirror City and Yun Peak, there was the Mirror Lake. There was a lake-crossing path arranged at the lake. And at the bottom of Yun Peak, Lin Feng put up restrictions of the Purple Clouds stairs, which was used to test the intentions of those outside Xiling City. It was the opening of the sect.

Mount Yujing spent most of its time hiding in void space. Over at Yun Peak, it was like the visible location of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Even those who wanted to join the sect could come over through the space-transportation formation, before accepting the challenge of the Purple Clouds stairs. For those who passed, they could become Foundational Disciples if they were deemed eligible.

Capable people were also needed at Shazhou County. Whereas the Cloud Mirror City and Yun Peak needed people to hold the fort. This caused some problems for Dao Zhiqiang.

Fortunately, Dao Zhiqiang was experienced. After gaining Lin Feng's approval, he started to make preparations. He had scouted some useful talents. After some tests, they could be deployed.

Lin Feng shifted the mountains and created the lake, as well as constructing a city from flat ground. This was a bold move and one that was very awe-inspiring too. But for his ideas to be realized practically, Dao Zhiqiang's expertise was also needed.

Everyone had their own talents. While a person might be highly skilled, he might not be capable in doing other things. Lin Feng had a keen eye for such things, thus he made preparations early. Now they were put into use.

Mount Yujing proceeded on the right track slowly. On Mount Yujing, Lin Feng started a new round of construction.

He started with the medicine valley. After the Blessed Spiritual Land was used on the medicine farms in the medicine valley, the soil in the farms became very fertile. They became very useful in growing spiritual herbs.

But every spiritual herb had its own characteristics. Not all spiritual herbs could grow in the same conditions.

If the Blessed Spiritual Land was used, it could still fulfil the requirements of each spiritual herb. But every time Lucky was summoned, it was very wasteful. A more appropriate method could be used to settle such a problem.

For example, if the medicine valley was expanded, it could be divided into different regions. Every region would be altered to reflect a different environment, since different herbs grew in different environment.

For example, the Snow Lotus grew in very cold conditions all year round, or the Nine Yin Herb that grew in a predominantly Yin environment.

Some of the spiritual herbs only appeared in specific seasons. When it was not that particular season, these herbs would stay buried and continue to absorb spiritual energy.

In deserts and on cliffs, there would be certain species of herbs that existed. And there were also herbs that only survived best at the bottom of the oceans.

Lin Feng directed everything while Yang Qing assisted him. The two of them divided the medicine valley into different regions and created different environments such as snow valleys, lakes, cliffs etc.

After that, they categorized the various spiritual herbs and grafted them to the specific environments where they prospered.

After settling the problem of the medicine valley, Lin Feng turned his head to look at Yang Qing, laughing, "Yang Qing, prepare yourself. From those who pass this test, there may be people posted here to help you."

Yang Qing remained calm and nodded his head, "I will try my best. Just that when this is over, I will like to try to form the Aurous Core. But I fear that may affect the Successive Disciples under me in the short-term."

Lin Feng laughed, "No harm trying. You can ask Zhu Yi to help you when the time comes."

After telling Yang Qing about the method Kang Nanhua used to overcome the tribulations of life and death when he formed the Aurous Core, Yang Qing went to try his method. He sealed his cultivation and went to engage in risky activities, from what Lin Feng observed.

Of course, with Lin Feng around, he did not allow Yang Qing to risk his life. But the risks involved were quite serious. It was like fighting a cultivator above one's realm until one of them perished.

It didn't mean that every effort led to a reward. But it also did not mean that there would be no reward. Countless experiences allowed Yang Qing to boost his courage as he faced death.

However, there were still problems with his determination. Having no fear for death was not the same as having determination.

But forming the Aurous Core should not be a huge problem. To Yang Qing, developing his state of mind and improving in his cultivation should be easy.

After encouraging Yang Qing, Lin Feng left the medicine valley. As he walked, he pondered. Normally speaking, there were 4 departments in a sect that allowed it to function properly. They were Accounting, Culture and Education, Law and Discipline and Logistics.

Accounting is the control of the passing down, organization and creation of mantras. It unearthed the innate battling talents of disciples and supported the gathering of intelligence as well as anything related to the defense of a sect.

Culture and Education oversaw the research, explanation and deductions of different collections of mantras. It helped the disciples understand their cultivations and was responsible for anything to do with literature and research in a sect.

Law and Discipline maintains the rules of the sect. It was used to monitor the character of disciples and provided suggestions for rewards and punishment. It was heavily involved in the administration of etiquette in the sect.

Logistics was responsible for the management of elixirs, herbs, medicines, magic items, talismans, equipment and clothing within the sect.

Such categorizations were very popular in many sects. Different individuals specialized in different things. This specializations ensured very clear standards and boosted efficiency.

However, such an environment bred disciples that were like students in a school.

Although they were efficient, they were suited to be taught in using a more collective model of education rather than an elite model of education.

The cultivation of mantras was beyond just a few, pure classroom lessons. A Master produced capable disciples through careful and meticulous teaching.

This meant that a Master had to pay close attention to each of his disciples and understand them well. He had to custom-make plans to nurture his students and carry these plans out. He also had to keep an eye on his students to ensure that they do not deviate from their paths. And if there were last-minute changes, he had to alter his plans.

Of course, a Master was not a nanny. But the effort that he expended on each and every student was immense.

With Lin Feng as an example, he passed down the Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtues to Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao, Zhu Yi and his other Immediate Disciples. But he also encouraged them to comprehend their mantras and expended a lot of effort on each of them.

A few disciples would be ideal. If there were a little more, it was still plausible. But any more disciples would be too much to tolerate. No one would have the energy to teach so many disciples. If there were hundreds and even a thousand disciples, one would have to work himself to death even before he could manage all of them.

That was why Lin Feng invented such a test system. He wanted to move in a direction where the Foundation Disciples used a collective model of education, while the Successive Disciples employed an elite model of education.

Accounting, Culture and Education, Law and Discipline and Logistics were given to Shi Tianhao, Wang Lin, Zhu Yi and Xiao Yan to handle respectively. Yue Hongyan assisted Shi Tianhao while Yang Qing assisted Xiao Yan.

They were playing the roles of supervisors. They were temporarily in charge of these matters, but in the future when their Successive Disciples matured, they would pass these things down to them.

Regarding the 4 categories, there were still many areas to be improved on.

In terms of Accounting, a practice arena and mock battle arena were still needed.

In terms of Culture and Education, more cultivation places with faster time zones were need. In the Heavenly Ray Cosmic World, there was a limited amount of spiritual energy. It could not hold too many people at the same time. Furthermore, it would be wasteful to allow the average disciples to cultivate in a place where time was almost a hundred times faster.

What was needed was not something like the Heavenly Ray Cosmic World. It was places where time was 3-5 times faster than normal and which were huge enough to fit a lot of people. This was to make it convenient for a large batch of disciples to cultivate.

This was difficult, and not necessary. But with it, it would be very beneficial to the growth of a sect.

There was nothing missing in the area of Law and Discipline. But the rules of each faction had to be completed. Lin Feng set some simple but major commandments. After that, Zhu Yi took over things and set some minor commandments. It just had to be further completed.

In terms of dishing out punishments, a proper venue was needed. But it was not a pressing matter, but it should be proposed soon.

For Logistics, Lin Feng already drew a construction deed from the system to build a pavilion to cultivate magic items. A place for spells and talismans could be considered too. Talismans were particularly useful for lower level cultivators. They could be used for offensive or defensive purposes to great effect.

"Actually, nothing is very pressing." Lin Feng shook his head and laughed, "Even if we set everything in place, we still need people to operate all these things. We have to at least wait for a few generations to mature before we can operate smoothly."

"But we can lay the foundation first. When the time comes, we can just complete everything."

Lin Feng pondered over things and laughed, "All buildings start out from flat ground."

5 days passed very soon. The test for the Foundational Disciples were due to start. Lin Feng used his supernatural awareness to scan everyone at the bottom of Yun Peak. Eventually, his attention was caught by Luo Qingwu and Li Yuanfang.

"Come, little kids. Mule or Horse, let's take it out for a stroll."

Chapter 610: Holistic Tests

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

As the date of the test arrived, Lin Feng summoned his powers and Purple Clouds broke through void space, descending on Yun Peak.

The bunch of Foundational Disciples were already waiting there. They watched as the Purple Clouds descended before consolidating to form a pagoda that was as bright as a purple crystal.

The pagoda landed on the ground on the mountain tip. It was tall till it reached the clouds and into the Nine Heavens. The tip of the pagoda seemed to enter void space.

The voice of Lin Feng resonated in the skies, "For those interested to participate in the test, you can enter this pagoda. After that, you will climb up on your own. Within a day, which is before sunrise tomorrow, if you can reach the top of the pagoda and enter Mount Yujing, you will have passed the test and you will become a Successive Disciple."

Everyone looked at the purple pagoda and they were shocked, "So high?!"

The void space around them broke open and Zhu Yi's figure was revealed. He looked at everyone who were involved in a commotion and they started to quieten down.

"The test is meant to test your potential and not your current cultivation. The pagoda was constructed from the powers of your Grandmaster. Everyone who enters it will have their cultivations repressed until the standard of a normal person."

"Even so, for those who have cultivated before, you will have experience. You should feel more relaxed. Whether you want to participate in this test is up to you."

Someone walked out from the crowd and bowed towards Zhu Yi, "Elder Zhu Yi, forgive me for being rude, but this pagoda is too high. Even a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator can't reach the top in a day."

Zhu Yi said calmly, "You don't have to worry about this. It's a little special in the pagoda. It's different from what you see from the outside. For those with standards, you will ascend it rather easily."

Everyone nodded their heads, but there were a few of them who stole glances at Dao Yuting. There were no secrets in the world. Dao Yuting and Dao Zhiqiang were biologically related, and this was known by many of them.

"I wonder if she knows anything?" Everyone wondered to themselves. Initially, with her Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, everyone could not match up to her even if they combined their powers. As she took part in the test, everyone was a little anxious about things.

As they heard that everyone's cultivation would be repressed, everyone could not help but heave a sigh of relief. But following that, they were worried that Dao Zhiqiang revealed inside information to Dao Yuting.

Even if Dao Zhiqiang did not know the secrets of the pagoda, Zhu Yi, Xiao Yan and the rest should have been aware. Since they were so familiar with one another, who knew if they would look out for Dao Yuting? Or if the Celestial Sect of Wonders would do a favor for Dao Zhiqiang given his efforts for the sect?

They did not need to help her openly. Just a little guidance would be sufficient to allow her to gain an upper hand over the rest.

But they kept all their thoughts to themselves. No one would be so foolish to reveal them. Dao Zhiqiang was a housekeeping manager and the power he held was not little. Even Xu Yunsheng and the rest who were Successive Disciples did not dare to offend him lightly.

They were not scared that Dao Zhiqiang would take it out on them. But what if they needed help from him?

Moreover, even without Dao Zhiqiang, Dao Yuting's cultivation was there for all of them to see.

Zhu Yi looked at all of them and noted their movements. But he did not bother as it was all expected.

After experiencing the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, Yue Hongyan and the rest were aware of Dao Yuting's talents. Time did prove everything after all.

Dao Yuting did notice the expressions of others. But it was just that she was a very cool character. Although she had recovered her memories and reunited with her father, making her happier, she was still very quiet in front of the others.

Her thinking was very simple. Words were useless. The truth was bigger than words.

Rather, it might be more appropriate to say that she was confident in herself. Her father never opened back doors for her. As the housekeeping manager, Dao Zhiqiang knew what he should and should not do.

And at this time, Lin Feng's voice rung in the skies, "If you can reach the top of the pagoda before midnight and enter Mount Yujing, you can be my Immediate Disciple."

His voice was very calm, but it caused a huge commotion. Even Zhu Yi could not help but feel excited. The bunch of youths' eyes were red with excitement.

To become Lin Feng's Immediate Disciple meant that one was only behind Xiao Yan and the rest. To receive Lin Feng's guidance and teaching was taking a huge leap in one's cultivation.

In the entire Divine Lands, Lin Feng was one of the few huge figures. Even Yan Nanlai and Xin Longsheng were not as famous as him.

Becoming Lin Feng's Immediate Disciple would elevate one's status in the Celestial Sect of Wonders too. The resources one enjoyed would be immense too.

Moreover, the entire Grand Celestial World agreed that Lin Feng's Immediate Disciples were like freaks. For those who could become Lin Feng's Immediate Disciple, they must be the best of the best.

For anyone who debated this, he would be whacked by Xiao Yan, Wang Lin and the rest.

A huge leap into the skies, it was really a huge leap into the skies!

As Lin Feng said his, not to even mention the Foundational Disciples, even the few Successive Disciples on Mount Yujing were shocked.

Xu Yunsheng, Liu Xiafeng, Li Xingfei, Xiao Huanzi and the rest were still okay. Fatty was also stunned.

Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at them. He ridiculed them, "Oh, what's wrong, are all of you tempted and want to leave me for a better future?"

Yan Wuwei's fats shrank a little and he said hurriedly, "No such thing, Master. You are our Master for life. How could we think of something as unfilial as that?"

He paused for a moment and said seriously, "Furthermore, when we first took the test, Grandmaster did say that any outstanding performers can be his Immediate Disciple. But we were not chosen."

Yan Wuwei laughed bitterly, "Especially myself. I was the lousiest among those who entered the Purple Clouds maze. I only got lucky so I passed the rest. After that, I was selected by you. I have already attained my status as a Successive Disciple, how can I ask for anything more?"

Ying Luozha said, "I did hope to become Grandmaster's Immediate Disciple, but since I'm not good enough, what is there to complain about. It's also good to be under you, Master."

"But I like to ask, is this pagoda the same as the Purple Clouds maze that we went through? Is it as difficult?"

Xiao Yan regarded his question seriously and answered, "They are different. But they are both all-rounded tests. If we had to choose which one is more difficult, I will go for the pagoda."

He laughed, "If you are interested, you can go up to try."

As he said this, not only Ying Luozha, even Liu Xiafeng and Xiao Huanzi revealed their competitive spirits. They were not trying to act tough, but they wanted to challenge themselves.

Yan Wuwei was a little hesitant. If he entered the purple pagoda too, it's fine if he did well. But if he didn't, it might be embarrassing. And if he could not reach the top of the pagoda before sunrise the next day, failing to reach the standard of a Successive Disciple, then it would be very humiliating.

Liu Xiafeng seemed to know what he was thinking and turned to look at him, shaking his head.

Yan Wuwei was stunned. He had lost confidence even before trying. Such a state of mind was undesirable.

Li Xingfei looked at the purple pagoda quietly and said, "I will like to try too. Experiencing more of the tests Grandmaster set will be invaluable. I will gain from it too."

Xiao Yan smiled, "Since this is the case, then all of you can go in too."

At this point, on the top of Yun Peak, a bunch of Foundational Disciples had already entered the purple pagoda. Not only were there disciples in the Qi Cultivation Stage, there were also those with no cultivation backgrounds who entered.

Since everyone's cultivation was going to be repressed and everyone had the same two limbs and a head, who was scared of who?

Although Zhu Yi had already stated clearly that even if their cultivations were repressed, those who had cultivated before were still at an upper hand, many of them still entered the pagoda.

Regardless whether it was Lin Feng, Zhu Yi or the rest, they did not think that these disciples were thick-skinned. Having a positive attitude and willingness to try was not a bad thing. Those who were just trying their luck and banking on their fortune would be taught a lesson.

As the bunch of them entered the pagoda, those in the Qi Cultivation Stage felt that their cultivations had disappeared. Li Yuanfang and Dao Yuting had the same feeling. They felt that they had become normal, as if their foundation had disappeared.

Even their supernatural awareness and souls had been repressed to the lowest standards.

At the same time, the abundant spiritual energy surrounded them, and drowned them like an ocean.

The nourishing spiritual energy was even thicker here than on Mount Yujing.

Li Yuanfang stood in his position and did not move. He sensed for a while and had a conclusion in his mind, "More haste, less speed. The spiritual energy is too concentrated, making it difficult to bear for a normal person. It will cause a huge burden and pressure."

"I must rely on my body to convert it. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to proceed."

Luo Qingwu, Dao Yuting, Zhuge Wanqiu and the rest had the same conclusion, "This is testing our Innate Ability and body quality. At this time, the higher one's Innate ability was, the easier it is for the body to convert the spiritual energy. Following that, advancing will be much easier."

The art of resolution was explained by Zhu Yi before they entered. Everyone started to work hard and tried to advance forward. Very soon, they realized that the more they proceeded, the thicker the spiritual energy became. At this point, the strengths and weaknesses of one's body became more and more vital.

The stronger one's body was, the better its resistance was. As he advanced in the thick spiritual energy, the simpler it became.

As they advanced, everyone soon realized that besides the nourishing spiritual energy, there were other tests awaiting them. As what Xiao Yan said, within this purple pagoda, there were several holistic tests.

Chapter 611: Feelings and Desires, Appearance of Illusions

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Under the special conditions of the purple pagoda, everyone was focused. They tried to cope with the pressure brought about by the thick spiritual energy. They could only count on themselves to advance and not anyone else.

In just a matter of time, the gap between everyone was starting to show.

Luo Qingwu, who had the highest Innate Ability, was in front of everyone.

Due to the dispute between Yue Hongyan and Bai Xiqian at Xiling City, Luo Qingwu was also slowly being recognized by people. Her Pure Yin body, which was a perfect body for cultivation, was starting to be learnt by many people.

As they saw Luo Qingwu not struggling as much as the rest and looking around her curiously, many people were thinking in their hearts, "Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. It's so frustrating to compare."

The group of cultivators in the pagoda started to be divided into different levels. Luo Qingwu was at the front, while Dao Yuting was following behind her closely. She was not much further from Dao Yuting. At times, she would even overtake Luo Qingwu.

Although her Innate Ability was not as exceptional, Dao Yuting was still in the Advanced Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Even if her cultivation was suppressed, objectively speaking, she still had an advantage.

However, following the passing of time, Luo Qingwu started to adapt to the internal environment of the pagoda. The advantage of a Pure Yin body was starting to show. She was getting used to the spiritual energy around her, and even Dao Yuting could not keep up.

The two of them were leading the pack. Following behind them were Li Yuanfang and Zhuge Wanqiu. Their cultivations and their Innate Abilities were also quite high, thus they were also moving quite fast.

The rest of the disciples were lagging behind them. There were also those who were more outstanding, as they kept close to Li Yuanfang and Zhuge Wanqiu.

Whereas for Xu Yunsheng and the rest who came in a little later, they started to catch up with those in front of them.

Xu Yunsheng, Ying Luozha and Zhao Huan, also known as Xiao Huanzi, were the ones who were catching up the most ferociously.

Li Xingfei, Liu Xiafeng and Yan Wuwei were not slow either. They followed closely behind.

As they saw them approaching, the bunch of Foundational Disciples were shocked. Those who were familiar to them asked them hurriedly, "Why are all of you in here?"

Yan Wuwei waved his hand towards them, "The test that Grandmaster set is very rare. We are here to test ourselves, but this will not affect us. The time we take will not matter."

As everyone ascended the pagoda, more and more tests started to show.

In space, streaks and streaks of golden light descended, shining on those who were ascending.

These lights pierced through everyone's flesh and attacked everyone's soul. Their purpose was to test the toughness and resilience of their souls.

The thick spiritual energy tested their body quality while these lights tested the quality of their souls. It was an important showing of their Innate Abilities.

The golden light was not very intense and could not disorientate anyone. But it presented an obstacle that was not easy to cross either. Especially since the golden light came streaks after streaks, as if they were unforgiving waves on the ocean.

As they were suppressed by the spiritual energy and attacked by the light, the difficulty of the test did not just go up by one level. The bunch of disciples had to deal with them more carefully.

This was only the start. Following that, the third round of tests came. In front of everyone, the stairs used for ascension of the pagoda started to develop branches of them. There was no longer just a straight path.

Among all the branches of stairs that appeared, only one was the correct way. The disciples under the tests had to eliminate the wrong ones and find the correct path to take.

This was a test of the disciples' sensitivity towards the vibration of spiritual energy. The more sensitive they were, the more attuned they would be, thus allowing them to be more capable of gathering the external spiritual energy into their bodies for cultivation.

However, not only did they have to deal with the pressure of the spiritual energy and the attack of the golden light, they also had to remain calm to find the correct path to take. It was no longer just a test of their Innate Abilities. It was also a test of their Determination.

For those who were determined, stable and calm, they could find the correct path in such torrid conditions.

Every branch of stairs had Lin Feng's mana restrictions. Once they were there, even if they might have advanced hand-in-hand with others earlier, they would be isolated at this juncture. At such a juncture, they could only count on themselves.

As the light shone, those behind could not tell the path chosen by the person in front.

The difficulty of the tests kept on increasing. The gap in the disciples were also showing. As time passed and everyone proceeded, the number of groups started to become unclear. The disciples were also starting to straggle.

On Mount Yujing, Xiao Yan and the rest were standing in the Grand Heavens Pavilion. Lin Feng was also sitting in the main seat. Everyone looked at the image in the light figure. The image flipped continuously and presented the situations of all the disciples.

"What will we do if we were dumped inside?" Xiao Yan laughed while asking. Everyone around him also started to laugh.

Zhu Yi opened his mouth first, "Right now, we still have to test their Innate Abilities meticulously. Previously, Master had only set a single criterion for them to achieve. But now, this is an all-rounded test."

Shi Tianhao laughed, "All these are only just the foundation. After this, they will really be experiencing the real things, won't they?"

Lin Feng laughed but did not speak. Right now, the image in the light figure changed.

The disciples who were ascending the stairs were confused. Only Li Yuanfang and a few of them were still clear of what route to take.

This was an addition of feelings and desires into the foundation that had been laid earlier. As everyone was placed in a quiet environment, their feelings and desires would slowly creep into their minds and break their defense. This will cause them to be confused and descend into an illusory realm where they would find it difficult to escape from.

For the Purple Cloud Stairs, Lin Feng had only shaken their souls and unearth the inner demons within them.

In this illusory realm, their inner demons were not provoked. Rather, what was provoked were the more positive emotions. For example, a yearning for one's relatives, romantic love for another person, pursuit of dreams as well as many others.

In this test, with the feelings and desires as the 'weapon', they 'attacked' the minds of the disciples within the quiet environment. This caused their self-defense to be torn apart, confusing their souls and descending into the illusory realm where they would find it difficult to escape.

Feelings and desires were all natural to humans. With the personalities and cultivations of the disciples in the pagoda, none of them could remove feelings and desires from themselves.

For those whose soul was resilient and who was a determined person, he would not be easily affected by external stuff. He was more discerning of the truth and was less likely to be violated from unwanted images.

This round was used to test the disciples' personality and determination. Cultivation time was very long. During this period, there would be countless emotions and feelings. Whether they were positive or negative, they could be a barrier to one's cultivation. Only those who were determined could survive.

The barriers to entry to the Celestial Sect of Wonders was not low. It could even be said to be very high. To be accepted by the Celestial Sect of Wonders, one could be considered a talent.

In general, those who participated in the test were around 15 or 16 years old. They might even be younger than that age. It is especially when one was young that it was more difficult to remain determined and unaffected by unwanted thoughts.

As a result, the movement of the disciples started to slow down. As they faced the illusory realm, although they kept telling themselves that this was a test targeted at them, they could not help but waver.

They could be anywhere, depending on their feelings and desires.

Everything seemed like an illusion, but they were derived from the innermost desires of each and every disciple undergoing the test. As the various senses were stirred, the disciples who were being tested felt like everything was real.

This test was very miraculous and unpredictable. In an instant, it caused everyone to be stuck in their own minds.

The light figure in the Grand Heavens Pavilion kept on switching the images. Not only was it presenting the image of reality, it was also flashing the illusions of each and everyone being tested.

The image stopped changing suddenly. Xiao Yan and the rest stared at the image and shook their heads, "This person knows that he will be seen through, but to avoid suspicion, he still tried to take the test. But if he enters the pagoda, he will expose himself inevitably."

"You have been exposed already."

From the first batch of disciples, there was someone who stirred trouble. Lin Feng had already told the few of them. As for the detailed target, they were already aware in their hearts. But it's just that even though they saw it now, they still felt a little pity. After all, he was a talent among the second-generation disciples.

"Master, we can tell this. But why can't we track any movements from this person?" Shi Tianhao turned his head and asked curiously. Lin Feng laughed, "The Great Void Sect is cleverer than the Great Zhou Empire. This pawn that they sent may not even know his own mission."

"They have not 'brought him to life'. But there must be a method they are using. They will only make a move at the key moment."

Lin Feng laughed, "But a few clues will allow me to tell a person's background. Don't worry. It's sufficient if the few of you know it in your hearts."

Shi Tianhao asked, "Then, during the second Sect-Opening Ceremony, was there anyone like this guy too?"

Lin Feng laughed, "Yes, there was. But I have gotten rid of them already. For such people, we can keep a couple of them. But too many of them will be too frustrating."

Shi Tianhao and the rest nodded their heads and they stopped talking. They put their attention on the test.

After this third round of test was initiated, the effect on the disciples was obvious.

Many of them started to proceed very slowly. As they resisted the illusion, they inched forward slowly.

The leading one was Luo Qingwu. Her speed fell gradually. The rest were also affected to some extent. Only Li Yuanfang remained very stable.

As everyone's speed dropped, Li Yuanfang's speed seemed to increase relative to them. Firstly, Zhuge Wanqiu lagged behind him by a lot. Following that, Dao Yuting was almost caught by him.

As the few of them were affected by the illusions, countless images floated in their minds.

Chapter 612: Everyone Has a Question

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng was curious as he watched the leading pack. He saw as they were troubled by the illusions they faced

"Father, Mother, Sixth Granduncle…Grandfather, Great Grandfather…"

The images that surfaced in the mind of Luo Qingwu was a little messy. At one point, she was surrounded by her relatives and was doted upon by everyone. At another point, they treated her very coldly and ignored her while she called for them.

These images appeared alternately, along with other images of her childhood treasures. They were accompanied by the feelings of surprise when she found them and feelings of sorrow when she lost them.

In the next moment, the image changed again. Firstly, she was not accepted by the Celestial Sect of Wonders and she felt very depressed. After that, she was accepted as she passed the test and she cheered on Mount Yujing.

Luo Qingwu bit her lips and inched forward. As she was young, her state of mind was not stable yet. She was very active and liked to think of weird stuff. Thus, she was very easily disturbed by the illusions.

Fortunately, her Determination was not low. She was a stubborn girl and was very resilient internally. Hence, she could still maintain some semblance of stability.

Furthermore, as her Innate Ability was outstanding, she did not face much difficulties as she took on the test in the area of Innate Ability. This allowed her to put more focus into stabilizing her mind and resisting the illusions.

Whereas Li Yuanfang was the complete opposite. He was very determined and developed very few illusions.

At times, the illusions that appeared in his mind were the Two Elements of Creation Formation, Vairocana Formation, Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation and the Immortal Heaven Universal Sword Formation, which were the best formations around. He was trying to study and figure them out.

At times, the River Map Grandmaster appeared in front of him. It was as if he went out to play and returned back.

There were even times when Ding Runfeng from the Great Void Sect appeared, wearing a sarcastic smile on his face. Ding Runfeng even said to him, "You are not even a disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, why are you here?"

Li Yuanfang was expressionless. He shut his eyes and opened them in the next second. His vision was clear again and the illusions in his mind disappeared. He did not stop and continued.

As compared to Luo Qingwu, he spent more of his effort trying to deal with the spiritual energy and the attack of the lights.

Dao Yuting ascended the stairs of the pagoda. As she tried to overcome the various restrictions, she was also trying to resist the illusions in her head.

Her Determination was not weak. But whatever she experienced was much complex than the others.

After reuniting with her father after so many years, she felt happy. But her mother perished in the hands of the Heaven Lake Sect cultivator, which made her feel sorrowful.

Regardless whether it was happiness or sorrow, positivity or negativity, they all induced illusions that disturbed her.

At times, Song Qingyuan's figure would appear, which was her greatest fear.

Following the destruction of the Heaven Lake Sect, her reunification with her father and her acceptance into the Celestial Sect of Wonders, her fear had slowly disappeared. But it appeared again suddenly.

Ever since Dao Yuting was accepted into the Heaven Lake Sect, she knew that Song Qingyuan would have become her training partner. They complemented each other.

The plan of the Heaven Lake Sect was to wait for Dao Yuting to form the Aurous Core before she combined with Song Qingyuan and cultivate together.

But as Dao Yuting thought of Song Qingyuan, she felt chills all over her body.

She was even afraid of forming the Aurous Core and was shying away from it intentionally. The Aurous Core path that was the dream of many cultivators was feared by her. She was not fearful of the difficulty of forming the Aurous Core. On the other hand, she was afraid of the things she had to face after forming the Aurous Core.

Dao Yuting shook her head hardly and shook off the creepy thought in her mind. She stabilized her state of mind and continued to ascend.

Zhuge Wanqiu, who was rather fast, was now lagging behind by a lot. She was far behind Luo Qingwu, Li Yuanfang and Dao Yuting now.

Her thoughts and experiences were not complex, and she was resilient enough to remove the confusing thoughts from her head. Every little memory in her head could invoke an illusion for her.

Some of these memories include the spiritual birds she caught when she was young, the death of a beast she kept as a pet and her father's separation from her.

As her emotions were not very intense, the illusions were very normal. She was able to shake them off very quickly, but she could not handle the frequency in which they came. It was as if they were never-ending.

But it was a good thing her Innate Ability was very outstanding. Especially the spirituality of her soul and her sensitivity. They were very outstanding. When she faced a decision she had to make, she didn't hesitate. She could find the correct direction immediately, which allowed her to remain in the leading pack.

After a long period of ascension, Xu Yunsheng, Liu Xiafeng and the other Successive Disciples had already overtaken most of the other disciples. They reached the front of the pack and were not far from Zhuge Wanqiu and the other three.

They formed the second group with a few other outstanding Foundational Disciples. As they continued to advance, they were at the front of the second group.

Although they were also troubled by the illusions, they resisted these illusions, the pressure by the spiritual energy and the attack of the golden lights to continue ascending the pagoda.

At this stage, everyone's speed was already very slow. Luo Qingwu, Li Yuanfang and the first few were all moving very slowly forward.

Among all the disciples, at least half of them were lagging very far behind. Either they were troubled by their inner demons, distracted as they resisted these inner demons of theirs or they could not handle the spiritual energy and the golden light.

However, although a large portion of them were effectively eliminated, overall, the test made Lin Feng pleased till this point. His tests were naturally difficult.

To be even cruder, if his test was used on all the younger generation disciples of the other sects, besides the Great Void Sect and Mount Shu Sword Sect, there were very few of them who could pass it.

For the weaker sects, this test could even eliminate all their disciples.

But there was something that happened which left Lin Feng unsure of whether to laugh or cry.

For example, there was a youth on the stairs that had lost control of his mind and had sunken into the illusions he faced, unable to escape.

"Power! Immense power, no one can look down on me anymore, hahaha!" That youth laughed and shouted. The words he said were related to his invincibility.

As Lin Feng heard it, he was speechless. He immediately used his powers to mask this youth who was going berserk. In this way, no one would witness what he was saying and doing, preventing him the embarrassment after he awoke.

As the Talent Analysis Device revealed, this guy's Innate Ability and Intelligence was pretty good. Even his Fortune was worth 7 points, which was quite good already.

It's just that his Determination was low. Furthermore, he did not have a good family background and was very used to being bullied. As a result, his emotions were repressed to a certain level and they were released all at one shot inside the pagoda.

"Gosh, there's always something lacking." Lin Feng shook his head. He considered very seriously. The Purple Clouds stairs at the foot of Yun Peak had to be more discerning of a person's personality. Previously, it was only used to test the presence of spies, which was insufficient.

Of course, this youth had only gone berserk because of the inner demons within him that were summoned. But such a state of mind was undesirable.

But since he was already accepted into the sect, Lin Feng could still keep him. He had to see whether the teachings and lessons in the future could tame him.

"Zhu Yi, keep track of this guy. Don't have to be too strict, but the rules of the sect must be carried out strictly. Rewards and punishments must be clear."

Zhu Yi and the rest were also tempted to laugh. After Zhu Yi heard Lin Feng's instructions, he nodded his head, "I understand, Master."

Shi Tianhao was laughing at one side, "This guy is really ambitious. But it's a pity he can't pass this test. If not, I will like to accept him as my disciple."

Everyone pursed their lips and had the same expression. The expression revealed their thoughts: Following you will make him hopeless.

The few of them laughed, whereas those inside the pagoda continued to ascend it. As they faced the spiritual energy and golden light, they also had to deal with the illusions in their minds.

The bunch of Foundational Disciples found it difficult as they ascend the pagoda. The countless tests gave them very little time to thing. They lost track of time and their entire focus were placed on overcoming the restrictions inside the pagoda.

Time passed quickly and it got dark soon.

For those in the leading pack, the top of the pagoda was within their reach. Eventually, Luo Qingwu was the first to reach.

The top of the pagoda was a vast space. A pathway appeared before her. It passed through a flashing formation. As what Zhu Yi explained earlier, this formation allowed one to be transferred to Mount Yujing. It also meant the passing of the test.

However, there was a white light shield blocking her, cutting off the pathway.

Hundreds of streaks of white light were shining in front of the white light shield.

Luo Qingwu stopped and looked at the shield and flow of light curiously. At this point, footsteps were heard behind her. She turned around and saw Li Yuanfang. The both of them reached at almost the same time, while Dao Yuting had been overtaken by Li Yuanfang.

Li Yuanfang also came before the shield. He looked at the flow of light seriously. After pondering for a while, he extended his hand to touch the light.

The light did not disappear, but landed in Li Yuanfang's palms like it was an entity with a form.

"This is, a name?" Li Yuanfang at the words flashed by the light. It was a person's name. He recalled for a moment and realized that it was a disciple that took part in the test.

As he looked at the remaining lights, he realized that each of them appeared the name of someone.

Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu soon found the lights with their names on it. They caught them in their hands and saw a line of words appearing behind their names. It was a simple question.

Luo Qingwu read it, "End of Pure Yin…" There were only four words, but there seemed to be some other content.

"I have to find out the answer on my own?" Luo Qingwu pondered.

Li Yuanfang was also deep in thought. The content on his light was different. "Intersection of rivers."

Chapter 613: Reaching Before the Golden Time

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

In front of the light shield blocking the way of the disciples taking the test, there were countless streaks of shining light that carried the names of each and every disciple. When the disciples came into contact with their respective streak of light, a question would surface.

Every question reflected a huge barrier to the cultivation of that particular disciple.

This round of test wanted to learn the answer of each disciple being tested after he or she had pondered over the question. There was no standard answer, but one must know and understand oneself. To know and understand one's particular self was very important in the road of cultivation.

At the same time, this stage tested the intelligence of every disciple. It was a test of their understanding.

Luo Qingwu and Li Yuanfang digested the question and pondered carefully in their minds. At this time, they heard footsteps. Dao Yuting had reached the top of the pagoda.

In terms of Innate Ability and Determination, she was not weaker than Luo Qingwu or Li Yuanfang. But because of her own personal experiences, her inner demons were particularly disturbing. Naturally, it would take a lot of time for her to overcome them.

Dao Yuting came before the light shield. Luo Qingwu told her what to do and she quickly found her streak of light. After finding it, she saw these four words appear –'Shortfall in Pure Yang'.

This question was not difficult for her, but it was the most awkward part for Dao Yuting.

She had a special body. As a lady, Pure Yang prospered in her Original Yin, but it was not a perfect intersection of Yin and Yang just like Yang Qing.

There was still a distance to perfect balance of Yin and Yang. Her Pure Yang was much prosperous than other ladies, but it was still a little off from a perfect balance of Yin and Yang.

She could cultivate Yin-type mantras, but she could not match up to Luo Qingwu's Pure Yin body. She was not even comparable to the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl.

If she cultivated Yang-type mantras, there was no balance of Yin and Yang. This might lead her to be unable to control the Pure Yang and hence lead to self-destruction.

If she cultivated mantras which were not Yin-type or Yang-type, there were many benefits for her. But to a certain extent, it would be a waste of her talents.

Mantras like the Yin-Yang Mantra of the Void and Dark Polar Blaze Mantra which involved the combination of Yin and Yang were the most suitable for her. But she would meet with the mentioned problem in the question.

'Shortfall in Pure Yang'. Just a little off from perfection. Much more outstanding than others, but lacking in that final breath.

That was why the Heaven Lake Sect planned for her to pair up with Song Qingyuan. Song Qingyuan's problem was the complete opposite of her.

This was the solution given by the Heaven Lake Sect. Regardless whether it was theoretically or practically, it was a reliable method. The only problem was to coordinate the both of them cultivating together

All along, although Dao Yuting resisted Song Qingyuan and was even fearful of forming the Aurous Core, she did not have any other way.

But from Lin Feng's intentions, it seemed that he had some other way.

Dao Yuting started to ponder hard. On the other side, Luo Qingwu and Li Yuanfang also stared at their own questions and tried to figure out the answers.

After a few moments, the next person who arrived was Xu Yunsheng.

He nodded his head at the rest who arrived before him before looking for his streak of light. Although the result of this test did not matter, Lin Feng still prepared a question for everyone who entered the purple pagoda.

To a certain extent, this question could be a valuable reward for Xu Yunsheng and the rest who decided to join the test. Lin Feng came up with the questions personally for this important test.

Xu Yunsheng found his streak of light and saw the question. After that, he pondered deeply.

After this, the rest also arrived one by one. After that, Xu Yunsheng, Ying Luozha and Zhuge Wanqiu reached the top of the pagoda.

Ying Luozha looked at Xu Yunsheng and his face was a little black. He walked to the light shield and Xu Yunsheng lifted his head to look at him, saying, "The streaks of light on the light shield, pick the one with your name on it and read the question on it."

After Ying Luozha heard him, he started to search for his streak of light without speaking. Zhuge Wanqiu thanked Xu Yunsheng, "Thank you Senior."

Xu Yunsheng shook his head, "Don't mention it. Seize the time."

Zhuge Wanqiu walked towards the light shield immediately and tried finding her name. As she was finding, Ying Luozha passed her a streak of light and said, "This is yours. Take it."

"Thanks Senior." Zhuge Wanqiu was a little stunned and thanked him hurriedly. After receiving it over, she saw the contents which wrote 'Soul is not stable.'

Ying Luozha did not speak and continued to find his streak of light. After finding it, he read what was clearly written on it. He sat on the ground and started to ponder.

After a while, Li Xingfei, Liu Xiafeng and another Foundational Disciple reached the top of the pagoda.

Following them, Zhao Huan and Yan Wuwei also arrived. After a period of time, the second group of disciples started to stream it.

Everyone was looking at their own streaks of light and started to think about their questions carefully.

Suddenly, someone asked, "What's the time?"

Everyone was stunned. Liu Xiafeng looked at him and said, "Solve the question first. If you don't, it won't matter."

Everyone nodded their heads and put their attention on the question. The person who asked the question also nodded his head and was trying to figure out the answer to his question.

Time was passing slowly. On Mount Yujing, Lin Feng and the rest were excited as they watched this scene.

Shi Tianhao laughed suddenly, "I bet that Li Yuanfang will be the first to answer, who wants to bet with me?"

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes, "Only an idiot will bet with you."

They interacted quite a lot with Li Yuanfang. They could only say that his Innate Ability was above average, but not the best.

But his Intelligence was very high. Not only during his normal revision of formations with Lin Feng, even when he was discussing about things with Xiao Yan and the rest normally, he grasped things very quickly. He was very serious and intelligent

Shi Tianhao laughed, "Then let's bet whether he can solve the question before midnight and become Master's Immediate Disciple."

Xiao Yan and the rest looked at one another, "Oh, this is an interesting wager."

After calculating the time, it was around two hours to midnight. Shi Tianhao said, "I bet that he can."

Normally, Li Yuanfang interacted the most with Yang Qing. Yang Qing nodded his head and said, "I think that he can make it too."

Zhu Yi did not join in the bet. Yue Hongyan thought for a moment and said, "I think he can too."

"This is not easy." Xiao Yan bit a grass stem in his mouth and used his hands as his pillow as he leaned backwards, "I do rate him though."

Shi Tianhao looked at Wang Lin, "Third Senior?"

Wang Lin laughed, "I won't participate."

The bunch of them looked at one another and laughed.

"This means that we are going to get another junior." Xiao Yan massaged his temple and thought of Li Yuanfang's character. Suddenly, he felt a little headache and pursed his lips, "This guy is very naggy."

Shi Tianhao's gaze flashed and Xiao Yan looked at him, laughing heartlessly, "He is older than you. From what you said from the start, once he joins, we will have another junior. But you will have another senior."

"A man must keep true to his words."

Shi Tianhao stuck out his tongue, "I was only four years old then. My words are only as good as a kid."

As the few of them chattered, midnight was arriving soon. It was around one hour from midnight. At this point, Li Yuanfang, who had been closing his eyes, opened them suddenly and his expression did not change. His eyes brightened.

But he did not rise from his sitting position. On the other hand, he used his fingers to calculate the time before shutting his eyes again.

"What's he doing?" Xiao Yan raised his brows, "From his appearance, it seems like he has solved the question. Don't tell me he is waiting for the last moment to step foot onto the mountain? Doesn't seem like he is such a person who seeks excitement."

Yang Qing hesitated before saying, "Maybe he wants to tidy his train of thought, or maybe he is thinking whether there are other benefits?"

The rest of them did not understand. Only Lin Feng could guess what he was doing as he looked at Li Yuanfang's image.

This person though that he owed Lin Feng too much already. Thus, he wanted to start low and repay the sect slowly. He did not want to rise to the top so quickly.

His method might seem funny, but Li Yuanfang meant it. He had his own standards of doing things. He did not expect others to follow, but he would stay true to his own standards.

Lin Feng shook his head slightly and communicated with Li Yuanfang through his powers, "Understanding your inner self and not getting caught up by small details. There are different perspectives at different positions."

Li Yuanfang lowered his head and pondered.

Lin Feng stopped talking after he finished telling Li Yuanfang. He did not have to accept Li Yuanfang as his Immediate Disciple. But with Li Yuanfang's personality, it would not be beneficial to his cultivation in the future if he kept on being like this.

Since Li Yuanfang decided to join the Celestial Sect of wonders, even if he was not his Immediate Disciple, Lin Feng would still guide him. But everyone had their own ideas. If they did not want to listen, then it was their own problem.

But it was fortunate that although Li Yuanfang was a very strict person and was also stubborn in his thinking, he still understood different reasonings. Whoever was nice or unkind to him, he could tell.

When he was under the River Map Grandmaster, the River Map Grandmaster corrected his habit of liking to point out the mistakes of others. Li Yuanfang listened to his advice. From then on, if the person did not bother him, he would not go around embarrassing him by pointing out his mistakes.

Now that he was listening to Lin Feng's advice Li Yuanfang thought for a while before standing up. He extended his hand to grab the streak of light with his name on it.

Regarding the answer to his question, he used his mind to send it to the streak of light. As Li Yuanfang pulled hard after that, the streak of light cracked and he ended on the other side of the shield.

Everyone was shocked and they looked at Li Yuanfang. Someone calculated the time and said bitterly, "The golden time is not here yet!"

Li Yuanfang let out a breath and bade goodbye to everyone else. He walked towards the formation and disappeared within it. He was sent to Mount Yujing.

Everyone had complex expressions on their face. They took a while to calm their nerves and figure out the answer to their questions.

As time passed, the golden time was inching closer and closer.

Chapter 614: Final Result of the Test

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Li Yuanfang went first. To those who were unstable in their minds, this had a huge influence on them.

Of course, the influence can go both ways. For those who were too concerned about it, they could not focus on answering their questions. As for those who were motivated by it, they became even more focused.

All of these was witnessed by Lin Feng, Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao and the rest. They developed a deeper understanding about the characters of their disciples.

Luo Qingwu sat on her knees and her hands were supporting her chin. As she watched Li Yuanfang leaving, she calmed her nerves and thought about the question again.

Dao Yuting was even more stable than her and she tried to figure out Lin Feng's question.

For her problem, the Heaven Lake Sect had no other way of resolving it other than training her with Song Qingyuan. Undoubtedly, it saved a great deal of effort. At the same time, it was the most beneficial method. When solving the problem, ignoring one's own feelings was indeed the most beneficial to the cultivation of two people.

But there were many experts in the Heaven Lake Sect. Since they could not think of many solutions, it was difficult for Dao Yuting to figure it out in such a short period of time.

"When I was ascending the pagoda, the spiritual energy that was suppressing me and the light that was attacking me seemed weird." Dao Yuting thought for a moment and an idea flashed in her mind, "Don't tell me the pressure of the spiritual energy and the attack of the light contained some form of guidance?"

She realized that the test she faced while ascending the pagoda was not just a test. It contained some sort of rhythm, as if there was some guidance involved. Now that she pondered over her question, she could derive some clues.

Dao Yuting was enlightened. The question now could be analyzed through the previous tests, and from there, the answer could be found.

Now, she had to recall and understand the feeling she felt in the pagoda. This feeling was not the direct answer, but it had to be translated for the answer.

When Dao Yuting realized that, Luo Qingwu reacted too. She recalled that when she ascended the pagoda, there was some detailed changes in her feelings and her soul. After that, she tried to figure it out to derive the conclusion.

After a while, Luo Qingwu's eyes brightened and she stood up. She pulled the streak of light that belonged to her and she went to the other side of the light shield.

Luo Qingwu did the same thing as Li Yuanfang, as she bade goodbye to everyone seriously from the other side. After that, she walked towards the formation.

As she walked, she thought in her heart, "Everyone's question is different. So, when we were at the pagoda, the restrictions that were targeted at everyone gave different hints? Wow, there are so many people. Grandmaster is indeed powerful."

As what Luo Qingwu and Dao Yuting expected, this was exactly what Li Yuanfang understood.

The tests in the pagoda previously contained things that they could use for the last test.

For the purpose of fairness, the pressure of the spiritual energy and the intensity of the light felt by everyone was different. But during this process, Lin Feng already started to understand each of their problems slowly.

Every one of them used the method Zhu Yi imparted to them to resist the spiritual energy and the light. Although the same method was used, everyone had different body conditions and used the method differently. Slowly, it revealed the problems they had in their cultivations.

Even those who had not cultivate their Qi were subjected to the same reasoning.

Following the shift of time, after everyone's problem was discovered, the pressure by the spiritual energy and attack of the light still remained. Lin Feng secretly injected a few hints into the bodies of everyone without them knowing.

No written words, sounds, spoken words, consciousness or aura.

It was pure feeling. When everyone arrived at the top of the pagoda, the light shield revealed the streaks of light. Everyone had their own questions, which were not set beforehand. They were just produced.

Without even using the Talent Analysis Device, Lin Feng could use his own supernatural awareness to tell each of their soul's condition.

But human thoughts changed quickly. Whatever problems that they might face during their cultivations were unknown and it was difficult to predict beforehand.

And through this method, Lin Feng understood each of their shortcomings and tried to tackle them specifically.

He delivered the hints to them, but it was up to them to make a change. At the same time, Lin Feng could test their Intelligence.

Of course, some of them did not need such a method to discover the problems in their cultivation. For example, for people like Luo Qingwu and Dao Yuting, they would know as more time passed.

It was easy to say such things, but to summarize the problems of a few hundred people and give them individual feedbacks was very tedious. After that, checking on the minor changes in their soul was also not easy. To a normal person, it was unbearable.

While it was very tedious to a normal person, it was simple for Lin Feng.

After Li Yuanfang, Luo Qingwu also solved her question. She stepped on the formation and was sent to Mount Yujing.

Someone calculated the time and said hesitantly, "The golden time should have just reached. But I wonder if she passed the test?"

Everyone was pondering in their minds. Some of them were even very anxious.

After a while, Dao Yuting stood up and grabbed the streak of light that belonged to her. She reached the other side of the light shield and walked towards the formation calmly

At this point, no one said anything. They were sure that the golden time had passed. Although it had passed for not long, it was still undeniable that it had passed already.

Thinking of it, Dao Yuting spent around the same amount of time as Luo Qingwu to solve the question. The difference in the timing they passed the test was due to the difference in time they took to ascend to the top of the pagoda.

When they were ascending the pagoda, Luo Qingwu was faster than Dao Yuting. The time they took to answer the question was around the same. But because of the previous gap in timing, the two of them finished at different times.

Whether Luo Qingwu passed before the golden time had to be verified, but Dao Yuting crossed the time.

On Mount Yujing, Shi Tianhao and the rest shook their heads, "What a pity. She missed by a little only."

"Missing by an inch can be costly. An instant is already very long." Lin Feng said.

At this time, the golden time had passed. The people in the pagoda relaxed more. Although they felt that it was regretful, they managed to calm their nerves and put their focus on answering their questions.

As time passed, Xu Yunsheng, Ying Luozha and Zhuge Wanqiu finished at the same time. They walked towards the light shield and grabbed their own streaks of light.

After that, they reached the other side of the shield.

Xu Yunsheng and Ying Luozha looked at each other. Xu Yunsheng shook his head and said, "You won this round."

He reached the top of the pagoda before the both of them. He started to solve his question earlier, but eventually they solved it at the same time. The both of them had caught up with him.

Ying Luozha snorted, "You won one and I won one. The end result is still the same."

Zhuge Wanqiu looked at the both of them curiously. One seemed rebellious like a wolf and the other seemed peaceful, but was actually proud like an eagle.

"Seniors?" Zhuge Wanqiu asked shyly, "Can we go to the formation already?"

Ying Luozha snorted and did not speak. He walked towards the formation. Xu Yunsheng looked at Zhuge Wanqiu and nodded his head, "Let's go."

The three of them passed through the formation and left the pagoda, arriving at Mount Yujing.

After them, Li Xingfei stood up and grabbed her streak of light. She had passed the test.

Following her, Liu Xiafeng, Zhao Huan, Yan Wuwei and a few Foundational Disciples passed the test too.

Time passed very quickly. At different times, there were disciples who solved their questions and arrived at the formation. They were then transported to Mount Yujing.

Suddenly, the pagoda shook. Although the light shield and the streaks of light did not disappear, the formation on the other side of the shield did.

As they saw this scene, the remaining disciples sighed in desolation. This meant that they did not pass the test and they could not become Successive Disciples.

Some of them were indignant. They had found out the trick and were making their final conclusions. With more time, they could solve the question. But time and tide waited for no man.

The flowing light from the white light shield descended down and entered the bodies of the respective disciples.

The bunch of them were shocked. Lin Feng's guidance had converted into simple words in their heads.

A great portion of the flowing lights left the top of the pagoda and landed on different spots of the pagoda, finding their respective owners. Even if they didn't reach the top of the pagoda, Lin Feng did not neglect to provide these disciples guidance.

Although they did not pass the test, every disciple did not leave empty-handed. After going through some training, as well as receiving Lin Feng's guidance, to the Foundational Disciples, it was a rare opportunity for them.

The pagoda converted into a streak of Purple Clouds and brought everyone to Mount Yujing. It landed on the top of the mountain.

As the Purple Clouds dissipated, the pagoda completely disappeared. Everyone who was disturbed by the illusions regained their awareness. After clarifying the situation, they could not help but feel depressed.

But they soon cheered up and looked around them.

Inferno Precipice, Heavenly Temple, Forest Abode, Blizzard Valley, Nirvana World and the Wasteland Valley started to shoot out auras into the Nine Heavens.

Those who passed the test also proceeded to the respective places.

Now that they were Successive Disciples, they could make a choice of who they wanted to learn from. But they also had to undergo the test of Xiao Yan and the rest. Only after passing the test could their wishes be fulfilled.

Those who did not pass the test would not be returned to Yun Peak. They would be allocated to the different factions. But in this way, it might be awkward as they faced their future Masters. Thus, it was important for everyone to make a proper choice.

The Foundational Disciples who did not pass the test scanned the different places that appeared. They wanted to see which choice the Successive Disciples would make.

Everyone's attention landed on a young lady with pale-white skin. They were a little confused at this instant.

It was Dao Yuting. She was in the Foundation Establishment Stage as she entered the sect, but it was a pity she missed out on being Lin Feng's Immediate Disciple.

But Dao Yuting was calm. She walked towards one of the six places.

Chapter 615: Disciple Choosing the Master

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Unexpectedly, Dao Yuting chose Wang Lin's Forest Abode.

The two of them fought intensely at the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai.

To Wang Lin who was only in the Foundation Establishment Stage then, Dao Yuting was one of the more challenging opponents he faced at the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai. She brought him immense pressure and there was a thin line between victory and defeat.

As he wasted a lot of effort when battling Dao Yuting, Wang Lin had no choice but to forgo his fight with Yue Hongyan. This gave Yue Hongyan the title as the champion of the Foundation Establishment Stage competition.

But to Dao Yuting, this was not a good memory. She lost to an opponent in the Beginner Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage, even if it was very close. It was not something to be proud of. After all, Dao Yuting was the rising talent of the Heaven Lake Sect at that point in time and was the outstanding one amongst all the Foundation Establishment Stage disciples.

Not seeing her previous opponent for some time felt like ages to her. Now that she met him again, he was already in the Nascent Soul Stage.

For such a contrast in their progress, if it was someone else, they would find it difficult to deal with it.

Dao Yuting was calm now, but no one knew what she was thinking. For everyone who knew about the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, they were wondering about her choice in their hearts.

In fact, Dao Yuting was indeed very calm at this moment. As she walked on the rainbow cloud bridge towards the Forest Abode, the instructions of her father kept on floating in her mind.

"Yuting, you must remember that if you can become the Immediate Disciple of the Grandmaster, it will be the best thing. But if you don't, you should choose between Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao.

"Although the Grandmaster has Six Immediate Disciples and their relationships are very harmonious, but to me, it seems like the four of them are the better candidates to choose. You must ponder over it carefully."

From Dao Yuting's memory, her father said this very seriously. "The Grandmaster highly values the Immediate Disciples under him. He treats them equally well. But besides the fact that the four of them have higher cultivations, the key is that they joined the sect earlier."

"These four disciples are ever-present. In other words, even if the Grandmaster did not set up a sect, the four of them are still his disciples. He accepted them when he was an independent cultivator."

"That's why you have to choose between the four of them."

Dao Zhiqiang analyzed, "Xiao Yan is the Grandmaster's most senior disciple. He is well-versed in spells and his powers are outstanding. He even controls the elixir room of the sect. The elixirs that are provided for his disciples will be better than the rest."

"But he mainly cultivates fire-type mantras and physical martial arts. The path he is taking may not be the most beneficial for you in the future."

"As for Zhu Yi, he is a very refined person. He knows when to do things. Previously, he was in charge of the training of the Foundational Disciples. Among the Six Immediate Disciples, he is the best in training disciples."

"Wang Lin is the one you fought at the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai. If he does nothing, he is ordinary. But when he does something, he is extraordinary. But he is a little unpredictable."

"From my observation, he is a very decisive person and his killer aura is slightly over the top. If you train under him, not only will you feel awkward, you may not reap much benefits too."

As he said till here, Dao Zhiqiang paused for a moment and his expression turned a little weird. He said, "Elder Wang has only one disciple now. It is one of the female disciples from the first batch of Successive Disciples. Her name is Li Xingfei. Although she is only in the Qi Cultivation Stage and not comparable to you, she is very adept at handling people. She knows how to be polite and understand situations well."

"If you train with her, I will not be worried for your cultivation. But if this lady harbors any ill intentions, I am afraid you may be at a disadvantage."

"Thus, if you can, don't choose Elder Wang." Dao Zhiqiang continued saying, "Grandmaster's most junior disciple, Shi Tianhao, is a true genius and an outstanding talent. But he is mostly into physical martial arts, which is not compatible with you. Joining him will not be beneficial for you."

Dao Zhiqiang concluded with, "These things are inconvenient for myself to say with my position. But this concerns your future development and you must take it seriously. I have no choice but to inform you and I hope you will consider things properly."

"In summary, choosing Zhu Yi will be the best decision."

Dao Zhiqiang hesitated for a moment and followed with, "Besides this, you can also decide based on other things. If you really want to do manual chores, you have a fifth choice."

"That is Yang Qing. He cultivates Yin and Yang mantras, which is the most compatible to your strengths in terms of cultivation. Furthermore, he is in charge of the medicine valley and he is not lacking in terms of resources." Dao Zhiqiang said, "The only thing is that his cultivation is similar to yours. Under such a circumstance, accepting him as a Master may lead to awkwardness. But with my observation, Yang Qing is a very gentle person and will not be affected because of this."

"He does not have any disciples now. If you choose him, you will be the leading disciple in the Nirvana World. In terms of cultivation, there may be a lot of benefits."

"Although Yue Hongyan is a lady, you must not consider her. Her cultivation path deviates from you."

Dao Zhiqiang said a lot and Dao Yuting listened to him seriously. But she had her own ideas. Zhu Yi and Yang Qing were not picked by her. Instead, she chose Wang Lin and the Forest Abode.

Her previous opponent had become her choice for Master. Dao Yuting felt a little awkward too, but she felt a greater sense of awe by this.

The young man in the Hidden Dragon Gorge who was unafraid of dying as he faced death and the lady in the Advanced Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage who did not back out of the intense fight were reunited again.

In the face of life and death, they were both fearless. As they welcomed death, their battle became very intense.

And this miraculous feeling brought about a new wave of feeling to Dao Yuting, which was rare for someone as emotionless as her. Even till now, her memory was still fresh regarding the battle.

And that opponent had become a figure that she respected now. Dao Yuting did not feel embarrassed. That miraculous feeling kept on surging, but became more and more difficult to explain. But it was also inched in her memory at the same time.

Dao Yuting could not tell what she was feeling too, but when she had to choose a Master, she did not even think and walked towards Wang Lin's Forest Abode naturally.

Dao Zhiqiang also arrived at Mount Yujing at this point in time. As he saw his daughter approaching the Forest Abode, he sighed. While he was happy for her achievements, he was also disappointed with her choice. His daughter had grown up and had her own ideas. He felt comforted by that, but as a father, he could not help but feel disappointed too.

Besides Dao Yuting, among the Successive Disciples that passed the test, there were also others who caught everyone's attention. For example, Zhuge Wanqiu was one of the few who arrived on Mount Yujing.

But her choice shocked everyone. She decided to choose Shi Tianhao's Wasteland Valley.

Her choice dumbfounded Lin Feng for a moment. She had a unique gift. In terms of the activity of her soul, it was very sensitive.

On average, if one's soul was stronger, then one's flesh was weaker. There were very little people who had the best of both worlds.

Zhuge Wanqiu belonged to the type of people whose soul was strong but flesh was weak. But she chose Shi Tianhao, the disciple most adept in physical martial arts.

During the process of cultivation, one's weaknesses had to be supplemented, but it was even more important for one to develop his or her strengths. To supplement one's weakness and compromising one's strength was something not recommended.

But Zhuge Wanqiu made such a choice. The reason for her choice was a little weird. Fortunately, no one knew. Otherwise, everyone would be shocked.

She made the choice based on her father's wishes.

Before she came to seek for a Master and before her father went into the Void Battleground, she did discuss with her father regarding the topic of who she should choose as her Master.

"Of course it's the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Do you even have to ask?" Zhuge Zhan said very surely. Zhuge Wanqiu answered timidly, "For someone as powerful as the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, becoming his Immediate Disciple is not easy. I am afraid I can't make it."

Zhuge Zhan opened his eyes wide, "How can it be? My daughter…" As he said halfway, he thought of Lin Feng's Immediate Disciples. He pondered for a moment.

"Even if you can't become the Immediate Disciple of the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, you can become the Immediate Disciple of his Immediate Disciples. There's no way you can go lower than that!"

After thinking carefully, he said to Zhuge Wanqiu, "When that happens, you shall choose Shi Tianhao as your Master. Although he is young, he is very talented. He won't delay your progress in cultivation."

Zhuge Wanqiu did not object either. She was already used to her father arranging things on her behalf. But she was just slightly curious, "Why him?"

"Because he is young and still a child." Zhuge Zhan pursed his lips, "If it was someone older, he may take advantage of you. There are many such problems in many sects nowadays, where the Masters violate their female disciples."

"If you choose someone older, I will be very worried!"

"As for your problem in cultivation, you don't have to worry. Just follow him and cultivate properly. If there are any problems, I will help you out when I return from the Void Battleground. When that happens, you will have double advice and your future path will be bright."

Hence, Zhuge Zhan set the choice for his daughter. Both Dao Yuting and her chose the extremes. She did not take initiative regarding her matter and only felt that her father was right, thus she followed him.

That was why such a shocking scene was witnessed.

Besides Dao Yuting and Zhuge Wanqiu, the bunch of Foundational Disciples were also looking for Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu. The two of them were also key figures who took part in this test.

After finding them, they could not spot them. Someone focused his gaze in the direction of the Grand Heavens Pavilion and was shocked.

There were two more people at the opening of the Grand Heavens Pavilion. One of them had dark skin and was a tall and thin youth. It was Li Yuanfang. The other was a lady who seemed very young. It was Luo Qingwu.

Everyone was stunned. They understood that the both of them passed the test before midnight and would become Lin Feng's Immediate Disciple!

Chapter 616: Prosperous Yin and Lackluster Yang, Lone Soul!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Under the scrutiny of everyone, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu stood outside the Grand Heavens Pavilion and awaited quietly.

Regarding the looks of others, the two of them did not notice. Li Yuanfang did not bother for real, while Luo Qingwu was engrossed in happiness and did not take much notice to anything else.

At this point, the door of the Grand Heavens Pavilion opened and a voice resonated in Li Yuanfang's and Luo Qingwu's head. "Come in."

The voice was calm and peaceful and carried a hint of warmth. It was Lin Feng's voice.

Li Yuanfang bowed respectfully and walked in. Luo Qingwu regained her awareness too and bowed towards him, following behind Li Yuanfang.

On the main seat in the Grand Heavens Pavilion, a youth in purple robe sat on his knees and seemed at ease. He was not serious, but carried his own aura of might.

An expressionless but charming lady with half-white and half-black hair carried a huge sword casket. She stood behind Lin Feng diagonally. She looked indifferent and there seemed to be no focal point in her gaze. She did not react to Li Yuanfang or Luo Qingwu entering.

Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu came before the youth in purple and bowed towards him, "Greetings to Master."

It was Lin Feng who was on the seat. Without having to repress the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain anymore, Xuan Li revealed herself again. She did not speak as she followed him.

Lin Feng looked at the both of them in front of him and smiled, "Before the test, I said that those who passed the test before midnight can be my Immediate Disciple."

He looked at Li Yuanfang and Li Yuanfang lowered his head, "I am slow, but I will work hard. To be your disciple is my fortune."

Lin Feng laughed while nodding his head. He then looked at Luo Qingwu, saying, "You were just on the dot. You reached the mountain just before the golden time."

Although he was confident in both Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu, Lin Feng did not make it easy for them in the test.

The system did evaluate everyone's potential, but statistics were just statistics. If there was a small deviation in the process, there could be a whole different thing that happened.

With Dao Yuting as an example, just purely based on her Innate Ability, Intelligence and Determination, Luo Qingwu and her were both on 24 points.

But because of her life experiences, there was a slight difference between her Determination of 8 points and Luo Qingwu's Determination of 7 points as they faced their inner demons.

Facing the attack of the light, pressure of the spiritual energy and choosing the path to take, her Innate Ability of 8 points lost to Luo Qingwu's Innate Ability of 9 points. That was why she was a little slower in reaching the top of the pagoda as compared to Luo Qingwu.

The both of them solved the question at the top of the pagoda and the time they used were about the same. But because of the difference in time they took to ascend the top of the pagoda, the both of them ended at different times. With midnight as the boundary, they were separated.

The difference in time was small, but the result was not.

Regarding such a discrepancy, Lin Feng would not correct it intentionally. Everyone had their own ways of dealing with things.

Luo Qingwu arrived on time and became his Immediate Disciple. If she was a little later, Lin Feng would not make an exception for her. He would let her choose between his Immediate Disciples, just like Dao Yuting.

As for Li Yuanfang, the same logic applied.

As she saw Lin Feng looking over, Luo Qingwu lowered her body and said, "I was lucky. I will work harder in the future."

Lin Feng encouraged them and did not rush them into any formalities. He stood within the pavilion and used a light figure to observe the process of the disciples choosing their Masters.

There were 200 people who took part in this test. But there were less than 20 of them who passed. The elimination rate was shocking. In terms of percentage, it was even higher than the first round of test using the Purple Clouds maze.

This was intentionally done by Lin Feng. When the sect was created, he was forming the foundation. As his first-generation disciples like Xiao Yan had developed into pillars of the sect, the second-generation disciples had to play important roles in further developing the sect.

As Xiao Yan and the rest became higher in their cultivations, Lin Feng would depend on them to educate the rest of the sect.

For Xiao Yan and the rest, their most important contribution to the sect was bound to be their relations with the external world. They would become the face of the sect and help it to find its footing in the world in the future.

In terms of continuing the success of the sect and constructing the sect internally, the second-generation disciples were the main force.

From a long-term perspective, the second-generation disciples and the third-generation disciples were integral in determining whether the Celestial Sect of Wonders was a fluke or a sect capable of surviving without Lin Feng.

That was why Lin Feng decided to host the test himself this time. And his standards were also very high as he only wanted the best.

As the sect developed, it was capable of furthering developing and prospering as it followed the general direction in which they seek to follow.

What Lin Feng needed to ensure was that the sect had to move in the right direction for the future.

Of course, there was one consideration Lin Feng had to take into account that no one else knew. That was that these Immediate disciples were part of Lin Feng's mission to fulfil his requirements of the Aurous Core Stage Disciples.

Besides requiring at least a thousand disciples and 1% of them being Nascent Soul Stage disciples, Lin Feng had to have at least 10% of them in the Aurous Core Stage and above.

It was easier to complete as compared to the Nascent Soul Stage disciples requirement, but he had to make preparations earlier. He had to accumulate talents to prepare beforehand before nurturing them.

To some extent, he was also preparing for the goal of the Nascent Soul Stage disciples mission. The system provided detailed statistics about potential, but as mentioned before, how things developed would change all the time. Who could expect a black horse to appear out of nowhere and cause a surprise?

Those who passed the test this time round amounted to 19 disciples, including Dao Yuting and Zhuge Wanqiu.

For the part where the disciples chose their Masters, it was like the first round of selection previously. Most of them chose Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi.

A bigger difference observed this time round was that Wang Lin became more popular.

In the Void Battleground, he blinded one of Shi Tianyi's eyes and destroyed Shi Tianyi's reputation as an invincible opponent.

After that, he became the first Immediate Disciple under Lin Feng to form the Nascent Soul. As compared to his low-profile progress previously, his sudden development caused a huge contrast and left a deep impression in everyone's mind.

Wang Lin controlled the Pavilion of Book, the place where the collections of the Celestial Sect of Wonders' mantras were. It was one of the most important places. In the previous round of selection, everyone did not know him and were suspicious. But now, they had no such worries. Wang Lin became popular as a result.

Of course, there were some other minor reasons, for example, the three ladies who were the most charming among the second-generation disciples, Zhuge Wanqiu, Dao Yuting and Li Xingfei, were all under Wang Lin…

After all, they were young and their hormones were raging, hormones were raging…

As compared to him, Yue Hongyan was also quite popular. On the other hand, Shi Tianhao and Yang Qing were rarely chosen.

Shi Tianhao did showcase his powers at the Dragon Battle Arena, but he was still young, which made people shy away from choosing him.

After all, it didn't mean that if one person was good in his cultivation, then he would be equally good as a teacher. Although the second-generation disciples were all inexperienced, they were also afraid of finding an incompetent Master.

In the end, besides Zhuge Wanqiu, only another person decided to go to the Wasteland Valley.

Whereas Yang Qing's Nirvana World was embarrassed, as no one went to him. This was expected, as he seemed normal as compared to his seniors and juniors.

Out of Lin Feng's Six Immediate Disciples, he was the one who seemed the least existent. His cultivation was the lowest and he was like a transparent individual to everyone.

As Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi watched from the Inferno Precipice and the Heavenly Temple respectively, they raised their brows.

Yang Qing was a polite person. While others thought he was not outstanding, as the bunch of them interacted with him on a day-to-day basis, they developed a close relationship with him. As they saw that no one went to him, they could not help but feel shocked.

On the contrary, Yang Qing was not bothered by this. To him, he had a lot of things that he had not learnt, what more teaching others about those things.

As for his face, Yang Qing was not bothered by it. He had always admitted that he was the weakest among all of the Immediate Disciples. For such a thing to happen, it seemed normal. He would not be affected by this and he would definitely work harder in his cultivation. But he was not affected emotionally.

After choosing their respective Masters, it was the time for Xiao Yan and the rest to test these disciples.

The few of them upheld strict standards with regards to the disciples they accepted. They would only choose the best out of the best.

Thus, they would test their disciples again and again. Eventually, more than half of them could not pass this second round of test and were eliminated.

Eventually, those who passed their test were only the few like Dao Yuting, Zhuge Wanqiu etc.

Lin Feng was also observing. Among those who passed the second round of test, there were a few other talents who shone.

The two of them were both ladies. One was called Ke Jing, while the other was called Sun Xueer. They performed well.

"But it seems like this batch of disciples are prosperous in Yin but lackluster in Yang..." Lin Feng shook his head secretly. Along with Dao Yuting and Zhuge Wanqiu, the best performers in this second round of selection were all female disciples.

With Luo Qingwu in the equation, the pitiful Li Yuanfang was like the lone soul.

The Successive Disciples that did not pass the second round of test were a little depressed. But it was fortunate for them that they would not be relegated from their statuses as Successive Disciples. They could still be one, but their Masters would be chosen by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng heard Yang Qing's suggestion and did not forcefully divided them into their respective Masters.

After a while, those with their own Masters were brought by their Masters to the Grand Heavens Pavilion, where they greeted Lin Feng.

After greeting him, there was a ceremony. The bunch of them watched as Li Yuanfang and Dao Yuting accepted Lin Feng as their Master with a formal ceremony.

Chapter 617: Chu Yang Sends a Congratulatory Gift

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

In the Grand Heavens Pavilion, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu kowtowed to Lin Feng. After going through the ceremony, they were formally inducted as Lin Feng's Immediate Disciples.

Lin Feng passed them the collection of mantras from the Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams. After the ceremony, the two of them greeted Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest.

In the system, two sets of supplementary information appeared.

"Name: Li Yuanfang.

Age: 17 years and 2 months

Current realm of cultivation: Beginner Stage of Foundation Establishment Stage

Talent Statistics: Innate Ability – 7 points; Intelligence – 9 points; Determination – 9 points; Fortune – 6 points

"Recommended model of education: Deep understanding of formations. Astonishing gift. Recommended to be the path of development for the future."

Lin Feng looked at the content and nodded his head slightly. Li Yuanfang was a more serious person and had a perfectionist mindset. Along with his outstanding ability of comprehension, he had a bright future in the area of formations.

During their previous interactions, Lin Feng had already taken note of this point.

Of course, besides formations, Li Yuanfang's talent in cultivating mantras was also very outstanding. After he transitioned from the mantras he learnt from the River Map Grandmaster to the Great Celestial Way of the Right Trigrams, his realm would be more stable. His powers would also rise a level.

The only worry was his Innate Ability. He was probably just above average. In an average sect, he was an outstanding talent. But in the Celestial Sect of Wonders, he was not extraordinary.

The question was, when he forms the spiritual altar, could he form a first-grade spiritual altar with the Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigram?

Lin Feng had to keep tabs on this area. If he treads this path properly, with Li Yuanfang's character, there would be no problems for him to cultivate the crucible in the future.

When he forms the Aurous Core in the future, it would not be much of a problem either.

After seeing Li Yuanfang's information, Lin Feng looked at Luo Qingwu's information.

"Name: Luo Qingwu.

Age: 10 years and 2 months

Current realm of cultivation: 8th level of Qi Cultivation Stage

Talent Statistics: Innate Ability – 9 points; Intelligence – 8 points; Determination – 7 points; Fortune – 6 points.

Recommended model of education: Pure Yin body from the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl. Recommended to cultivate Yin-type mantras. Besides, she has a gift in terms of art of swordplay. Recommended to be her path of development in the future."

"Oh?" Lin Feng's brows creased, "Gift in terms of art of swordplay? I can't tell..."

She was still fine in other areas, but the system judged that Luo Qingwu was a talent in the art of swordplay, which made Lin Feng stunned. He recalled that the specialty of the Luo Family in the Ancient Yuantian World was the cultivation of the royal dagger.

Since young, Luo Qingwu had also been practicing dagger abhijnas. Among the treasures that were confiscated from her, one of them was a high-quality Aurous Core magic dagger.

Before the crushing of the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl, the Luo Family doted on Luo Qingwu the most. Even though she was in the Qi Cultivation Stage, she was given an Aurous Core Stage magic item to protect herself. This could even be termed as being too pampered.

Because of this aspect of her family, Luo Qingwu had never encountered the art of swordplay before. That's why her gift in such an area was a huge unknown.

If she did not join the Celestial Sect of Wonders and remained in the Luo Family, regardless whether the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl was present, she would still cultivate the dagger abhijnas.

Since she never encountered the art of swordplay before, there's no wonder why she did not discover her talent in this area.

Especially as she started to grow up, her cultivation also became higher. There is a lesser possibility that she would give up the dagger for swords.

Lin Feng looked at the contents by the system and complimented. He looked at Luo Qingwu and she looked back. In an instant, she trembled.

Luo Qingwu felt that her instincts and her body seemed to have parted, and her consciousness had entered an unfamiliar world.

In this world, all-engulfing sword radiances approached her.

Luo Qingwu was rather calm and believed that her Master would not harm her. Whatever that he was doing must have some deeper meaning behind it.

Under such a mindset, Luo Qingwu was struck by the sword radiances. She was not fearful and did not resist. She did not escape and felt the hidden mysteries of it.

Her consciousness consolidated to form a transparent entity. The entity flew up and landed on a sharp sword radiance. After it touched the sword radiance, it rose up and avoided the sword radiance completely.

After that, the entity descended and found another streak of sword radiance. It touched the sword radiance again.

At the start, she seemed to be gliding above the sword radiances and her actions seemed to be very rigid. Danger was rife and it was terrifying scene to watch.

But as time passed, Luo Qingwu became more agile and she did not seem to be laboring. On the other hand, there was a beautiful sensation.

It was as if a genie had danced among the sword radiances.

Luo Qingwu exuded a miraculous feel by her own. She did not seem to be afraid of the sword radiances in front of her. On the contrary, they seemed close to her.

Suddenly, the sword radiances disappeared. Luo Qingwu seemed confused and her consciousness escaped from the unfamiliar world. It was as if her soul was enlightened and the image in front of her returned to the Grand Heavens Pavilion again.

She looked at Lin Feng curiously and seemed a little uncomfortable, but she did not dare to probe either.

Lin Feng retracted his gaze. He used his powers to look into Luo Qinwu's soul. After that, he did a simple test to see if she was as gifted in the art of swordplay as the system claimed she was.

Luo Qingwu felt that time had passed for very long and she had danced among the sword radiances for a long time. But it had all occurred in an instant. As Lin Feng looked at her, everything had ended already.

The result of the test made Lin Feng pleased. The judgment of the system was basically right. Luo Qingwu's gift in the art of swordplay was indeed outstanding. Her cultivation in the past overshadowed this gift of hers. To a certain extent, it buried her talents.

And as she passed this test, Lin Feng found out that Luo Qingwu's talent in the area of the art of swordplay was special. It was not offensive or defensive. She was also not one who was one with the sword, or one with countless magic spells birthed from sword radiances. Rather, she was a companion to swords, creating a miraculous concept that bred resonance between a sword and her.

"Oh, I can nurture her in this manner. I wonder what standard will she reach?" Lin Feng pondered in his heart. "She has a gift in the art of swordplay that can complement her Pure Yin body. This can increase her powers exponentially, but..."'

Lin Feng lifted his head slightly to look into the sky, "But, it feels like…she's not suitable to inherit my Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi. But it's fine, let's see who else is outstanding in the future generations of disciples."

He looked down at Luo Qingwu and said while smiling, "Have you ever thought of cultivating the art of swordplay?"

As Luo Qingwu went through Lin Feng's test, she understood what he meant by that. She nodded her head repeatedly, "I will listen to you, Master." In fact, after experiencing everything earlier, she also believed that the art of swordplay was more suitable for her.

Lin Feng guided Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu for a while, before announcing that the tests had ended.

The bunch of Foundational Disciples were sent back to Yun Peak. The bunch of them were reluctant to leave. After staying at Mount Yujing, the environment of Yun Peak did not appeal to them anymore.

Their attitudes were also corrected. They were determined to be serious in their cultivations and hoped to become Successive Disciples in the next test.

The new batch of Successive Disciples also followed their respective Masters back to their worlds and started to cultivate.

Becoming a Successive Disciple was just the start of their journey.

Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu continued to stay at Mount Yujing temporaily. Regarding their future residences, Lin Feng was also thinking about it. He had made plans, but more time was needed.

After bidding goodbye to Lin Feng, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu returned to the temporary residence they stayed in. They still had to comprehend the Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams that Lin Feng imparted to them, and transition from the previous foundation that they had.

Luo Qingwu returned to her residence and Jun Zining was waiting for her. She was in a daze when she saw Luo Qingwu walking over. Jun Zining regained her awareness and laughed, "Qingwu, congratulations on being Elder Lin's Immediate Disciple."

"Sister Zining, I feel like this is a dream. My wish has come true. I can't believe it. I have become Master's disciple." Luo Qingwu sat beside Jun Zining and seemed to be in a daze.

She looked at Jun Zining, "Sister Zining, why do you not seek a Master?"

Jun Zining sighed, "My family knows I'm here. They do want me to join the Celestial Sect of Wonders, but they fear that the Purple Clouds Sect may misunderstand. I thought about it carefully. The Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Purple Clouds should not clash because of someone like me, but my family may be awkward over there."

"You know too that the Jun Family is a little different from the other six families. Your families are backed by someone, but the Jun Family was birthed from the Purple Clouds Sect. Our relationship is closer and we have to take everything into consideration."

Luo Qingwu asked, "Is it so exaggerated? Sister Zining, are you thinking too much?"

Jun Zining said, "This is the wish of my family. I am only following what they say. Running away from home has caused quite a lot of trouble for them. I don't wish to add on to their problems anymore. I rather believe them."

Luo Qingwu shook her head, "I still can't get it."

"Whatever." Jun Zining held her waist, "Wait and see, maybe I can make it in time for the next round."

Luo Qingwu said, "In that case, I hope you pass the tests too. Not only will we be sisters then, we will be senior and junior too."

Jun Zining laughed, "I don't dare to think so far. I am not as talented as you. I can't be accepted by Master Lin. To become a Successive Disciple will be an achievement for me already."

She laughed, "That's not bad either. Although I am a second-generation disciple, my close buddy is everyone's elder. I can ride on your coattails!"

Luo Qingwu pinched her nose, "Call me Elder or Master first!"

The two of them were having fun. At this point, Xiao Yan received news that Liang Gan sent an envoy to congratulate the Celestial Sect of Wonders for its second Sect-Opening Ceremony.

The envoy came to the Mirror Cloud City and was a youth. He was only in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Dao Zhiqiang received him and the youth greeted him, "I am Chu Yang. Nice to meet you."

Chapter 618: Shi Tianhao is No Longer the Youngest!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Dao Zhiqiang was looking at Chu Yang, thinking, "Before, at the place of Elder Zhu, I heard of this person's name before. He was still in the Qi Cultivation Stage but he became the confidante of Liang Gan."

"He is a disciple of the Ethereal Mountain, but I have never heard of such a talent in the younger generation of the Ethereal Mountain Sect. He seemed to have only surfaced in the past two years. Don't tell me he is a core disciple nurtured by the Ethereal Mountain Sect?"

"But from his actions, the way he receives others is very mature. But he does not seem like one who cultivates effortlessly."

While Dao Zhiqiang was observing Chu Yang, Chu Yang was also observing him back. "This Dao Zhiqiang may not have a high cultivation, and his talent in cultivation is also very average. He is middle-aged but still hasn't form the Aurous Core. However, he has assumed the role of a supervisor who liaises with the external world within the Ethereal Mountain Sect, which is a very important role."

"According to intelligence reports, he was a servant in Wu Qingrou's residence initially. After that, he joined the Celestial Sect of Wonders. He seems ordinary, but he is quite important. It seems like I have to build up my relationship with him in the future."

Chu Yang laughed at Dao Zhiqiang while greeting him, "This Mister, my name is Chu Yang. I have come under the orders of the Fourth Prince to extend my congratulations to the Celestial Sect of Wonders for its second Sect-Opening Ceremony."

Dao Zhiqiang smiled back at him politely, and did not seem to underestimate Chu Yang because of his cultivation. He did not seem arrogant too. He responded politely too, "Thank you Fourth Prince for the kind words. I extend my thanks towards him for my Master."

Chu Yang tested him, "I wonder if I have the fortune of meeting the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, or the various elders within the sect?"

Dao Zhiqiang smiled while saying, "The few of them are retreating currently. I fear that it is not a convenient time now. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

"Why will I, why will I. This is too sudden." Chu Yang nodded his head and was not disappointed either. He did not have too much hope right from the beginning.

Not only was Lin Feng's stature growing, even Zhu Yi was in the Nascent Soul Stage now. If he was in another sect, he would already have a title as Grandmaster. If the Fourth Prince was here instead, there might be a greater shot at seeing the few of these important figures of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

After both parties inspected the gifts, Dao Zhiqiang expressed his thanks once again on behalf of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. He even gave some gifts in return.

Chu Yang arranged for some followers to accept the gifts and informed of his future, plans to reside within the Mount Kunlun area. He hoped to receive the permission of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Dao Zhiqiang was not surprised. After the battle at Xiling City, many sects sent experts over to stay at Shazhou County. Their role was to be responsible for the communication with the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Settling these people in was also part of the job scope of Dao Zhiqiang.

But Liang Gan and Chu Yang was a little special. As Liang Gan was a Prince of the Great Zhou Empire, he held a different status from a sect leader.

But when Zhu Yi was at Tianjing, he had a good chat with him. Because of Liang Yuan, the both parties even cooperated before.

Dao Zhiqiang pondered for a moment before agreeing to let Chu Yang reside at Mount Kunlun. As the powers of the Celestial Sect of Wonders increased, even Shazhou County was slowly considered the territory under the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

The Pavilion of Heavenly Trade was built on commercial trade. As long as it did not disturb trading, they did not mind this too. Their relationship with the Celestial Sect of Wonders even became closer.

"Liang Yuan was just reprimanded by Liang Pan. His position has even become more unstable. Liang Gan has developed more advanced thoughts regarding the Crown Prince position. To garner our support will be very beneficial to him."

Dao Zhiqiang thought in his heart, "But he can't get too close to our sect too. Otherwise, this will raise suspicions with Liang Pan. He may send someone with a low cultivation and who was not attention-seeking to seek residence over here. This will trouble Chu Yang."

After receiving permission, Chu Yang bade goodbye while smiling at Dao Zhiqiang.

His vision swept past the Cloud Mirror City, Yun Peak and the blue sky.

Although he did not know where Mount Yujing was, he could not help but look into the sky.

"The last time I came here, it was still full of mountains. But now, a city has risen and a lake has been formed. This is unbelievable." Chu Yang complimented in his heart, "However, with the powers of the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, this is easy for him."

Luo Qingwu appeared in Xiling City. Because of her, the Celestial Sect of Wonders conflicted with the Great Void Sect and Yue Hongyan injured Bai Xiqian gravely.

This news had spread even before the battle between the Two Shis. Although Chu Yang was at the Great Zhou Empire, he knew it naturally.

Before this, Chu Yang confirmed the news with Chen Yu. Luo Qingwu did reside at his residence for some time. There was also news from the Luo Family in the Ancient Yuantian World, that Luo Qingwu's Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl was damaged.

Chu Yang was worried, but Luo Qingwu had no more news after she left Chen Yu's residence.

After he learnt that Luo Qingwu appeared in Xiling City and heard that she was fine, he even found out that she had attained the Pure Yin body. He was relieved because of that.

He was excited after receiving news about Luo Qingwu and he was also relieved that she was fine.

But then he was in a dilemma again. Luo Qingwu joined the Celestial Sect of Wonders, but it was difficult to find her as Mount Yujing was hidden behind void space.

Just like right now, while Chu Yang came to Mount Kunlun, he could only see the Mirror Cloud City. He could not even ascend Yun Peak. Even if he stayed at Mount Kunlun in the future, he could only go to Shazhou City.

"Everything at the start is difficult. I will have the opportunity in the future." Chu Yang sighed. Liang Gan sent his confidante to seek permission to reside in Mount Kunlun for more efficient communication between both parties. Chu Yang was indeed the best person for this job.

Of course, Chu Yang did not come all the way here just to find Luo Qingwu.

Although he resisted Lin Feng quietly in his heart, after interacting more with the Celestial Sect of Wonders, he adjusted his attitude.

His sect, the Ethereal Mountain Sect, built a close relationship with the Mount Shu Sword Sect previously. They were almost reliant on the Mount Shu Sword Sect. Behind this contained the plans of Wu Qingrou early on and the owns strategy of the higher management of the Ethereal Mountain Sect.

Now, Wu Qingrou's plan was temporarily stranded, but there was a hint of crisis appearing. This caused the Ethereal Mountain Sect to not be peaceful.

In Chu Yang's memory where he did not know whether it was the future reality or dream, the Ethereal Mountain Sect was destroyed because they were used by Wu Qingrou. They effectively became the fuse that lead to an outburst of conflict between the Great Zhou Empire and the Mount Shu Sword Sect. Eventually, they were eliminated by the Great Zhou Empire.

Although the Great Zhou Empire did not seem to clash with the Mount Shu Sword Sect again, the Celestial Sect of Wonders replaced the position of the Great Zhou Empire, as they conflicted with the Mount Shu Sword Sect.

Chu Yang had a deep worry. He was worried that the incident in his memory would repeat itself in another way.

Regardless whether it was the Mount Shu Sword Sect or the Celestial Sect of Wonders, destroying the Ethereal Mountain Sect was an easy task.

While he came to Mount Kunlun to search for Luo Qingwu, it was not an urgent matter. After all, he knew that Luo Qingwu was safe and even had a great opportunity.

Chu Yang's greater priority now was to seek an opportunity to interact with the Celestial Sect of Wonders. He wanted to create a new path for the Ethereal Mountain Sect.

Internally, Chu Yang might feel fear when facing Lin Feng. It was a discomfort that came from an unknown future. But between the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Mount Shu Sword Sect, he was more towards the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

"My cultivation is still low and my status is not that high either. To seek another path for the Ethereal Mountain Sect is impossible. But I must try my best to build up friendly relations. When the elders come, I can still help them."

Slowly, he tried to work his way in.

After Chu Yang settled down at Shazhou County, he thought in his heart, "I hope that the Mount Shu Sword Sect will not clash with the Celestial Sect of Wonders in the short-term after what happened at Xiling City."

"I'm afraid that there will be a third party instigating a conflict between the both of them."

On Mount Yujing, Dao Zhiqiang ascended it and sent Liang Gan's gifts over. There were shares for Lin Feng, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest. However, Liang Gan and Chu Yang naturally could not know what happened to Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu, thus he only prepared six shares.

Lin Feng received the gifts and scanned them. After hearing that Chu Yang sent it over, he revealed a weird smile on his face.

Although the gifts were expensive, with Liang Gan's background, the gifts that he sent did not really catch Lin Feng's eye. After all, there was a huge difference in their cultivations. But Lin Feng could tell that Liang Gan was making an effort.

What left Lin Feng amused was that there was a treasure that was most suitable for a Pure Yin body cultivator.

Lin Feng could not use it, but Luo Qingwu could. With her Pure Yin body, her name was renowned. If Liang Gan appreciated her potential and felt that she could be an important figure in the Celestial Sect of Wonders, it might be reasonable for him to send such a gift over.

But Lin Feng was highly confident that it was Chu Yang's idea. Even the thing must have been given by him.

After learning that Chu Yang was residing in Shazhou County, Lin Feng could not help but laugh, "This rascal, is he still missing Qingwu? Then let him wait over there for some time, until she grows up."

Luo Qingwu could not know that someone missed her. Right now, she was surrounded by Shi Tianhao and the rest.

"Hahaha!" Shi Tianhao laughed, "This world is large and changes keep occurring. Right now, Shi Tianhao is no longer the youngest!"

In the past, he was willing to be the youngest junior. The rest of the seniors were indeed older than him. That was why Shi Tianhao was willing to tolerate everything. But over time, he felt that he could do with a younger junior.

When that happened, he could stand up for his junior when he or she was bullied. As he overcame the bully, his junior would exclaim, "This is my Senior Shi!"

He felt proud just thinking of it.

Chapter 619: But I Know I Am a Good Lady!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Luo Qingwu was only 10 years old, younger than Shi Tianhao. As she joined the sect, she became the junior of all of the Immediate Disciple.

Although Shi Tianhao was still a junior, he was not the youngest anymore.

For Li Yuanfang, he was adamant in addressing Shi Tianhao as senior, which caused Shi Tianhao to become a laughing stock among Xiao Yan and the rest. However, with Luo Qingwu around, Shi Tianhao was never too bothered about this. He was prepared to act according to what he promised.

He wanted to be reasonable. While Li Yuanfang had his own reasoning, Shi Tianhao was insistent on fulfilling his promise. Li Yuanfang felt that it was not too nice for him to persist on with his way.

"Qingwu greets all Seniors." Luo Qingwu greeted Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao, Yue Hongyan and the rest. As she was saying, she felt someone staring at her suddenly. It was a lady even younger than her.

This young lady tied two small braids and she looked cute. Even Luo Qingwu was excited as she saw her. But the young lady did not look very friendly.

Xiao Yan turned his head to look at the young lady, "Tuntun, what's wrong with you again?"

Tuntun snorted and did not speak.

Shi Tianhao laughed, "Learn more from my junior. Be more gentle and obedient. In this way, you can marry yourself off. Don't you miss that Xuanming beast? Maybe it's because you are too childish, that's why he doesn't want you."

"Others can say me, but not you!" Tuntun shouted indignantly. She looked at Luo Qingwu and snorted, "Furthermore, she only appears obedient. But in fact, she is not comparable to me."

Luo Qingwu opened her eyes wide and looked at Tuntun weirdly. Tuntun stared at her fiercely, "What are you looking at, am I maligning you?"

Xiao Yan said, "Where is your proof in saying that?"

Tuntun pursed her lips, "A female's…no, the instincts of a female Taotie!"

Xiao Yan and the rest rolled their eyes and Shi Tianhao laughed, "Believing you is like believing a pig can climb a tree."

Luo Qingwu was a little afraid as she hid behind Xiao Yan. She blinked her eyes and said cautiously, "Did I do something wrong?"

"You did nothing wrong. Someone is just wrong in the head." Xiao Yan said. He protected Luo Qingwu and stared at Tuntun, "Don't mess with her. Otherwise, we can settle all new and old debts."

Tuntun shouted unhappily, "Everything I said is real!"

She scanned Xiao Yan and the rest and snorted heavily, "All you males are easily masked from the truth!"

Yue Hongyan heard this and picked her brows slightly. Tuntun shouted at her, "You have also gone bad because of them!"

After finishing saying, Tuntun turned her head and escaped. She left Yue Hongyan and the rest behind, who were unsure of whether to laugh at the situation.

Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Luo Qingwu and said, "If she finds trouble with you, tell me."

Luo Qingwu's voice was very gentle and she said softly, "I shall hide from her next time."

"Are you joking?" Xiao Yan's brows raised. "Afraid of her? I dare her to mess with you. If she dares, I will smash her until her soul is battered."

Shi Tianhao patted the head of Luo Qingwu, "Don't be so gutless and soft. It's always been us bullying the rest. We cannot let others bully us, do you understand?"

As Shi Tianhao spoke, he sounded very emotional. He patted Luo Qingwu's head again. He realized that when he was small, his Master and the rest liked to do that to him. It was for no reason but the rather comfortable feeling of doing so.

But now he was older, he would not let them pat his head. But before Luo Qingwu grew up, he could do it to her.

Luo Qingwu answered, "Okay, I will remember!"

A sense of awareness surged into her brain suddenly. Lin Feng's figure appeared and he looked at her. Luo Qingwu was dumbfounded.

Lin Feng's awareness retreated from Luo Qingwu's mind and he could not help but laugh.

Tuntun's instincts were quite spot-on.

Lin Feng's understanding of Luo Qingwu was deeper now. He knew that although she seemed childish and stubborn at most times, she was quite mischievous.

On the surface, she looked very obedient and cute. But in her heart, she was very wild, just like Shi Tianhao.

As she feigned ignorance just now, she took one over Tuntun.

More accurately speaking, Tuntun dug a hole for herself first and Luo Qingwu made it deeper for her.

"Tuntun must feel very indignant now?" Lin Feng shook his head in laughter. If a script had to follow Tuntun's feelings now, it must be something like this below.

Tattoos, smoking, drinking, cursing…no, it's wrong. It should be that she was greedy, despicable, direct and vulgar. But she knew she was a good lady. The real hypocrites were the ones who acted innocent, pure, shy and liked to wear pink….no, liked to wear red clothing. Men who were shallow only looked at appearances. Thus, they could only miss out on good ladies and get tortured by the real hypocrites.

Only a female could differentiate between them!

Tuntun must be feeling this way now.

Lin Feng laughed. In fact, Luo Qingwu's behavior would be able to be understood after Shi Tianhao and the rest interacted with her for a while.

Luo Qingwu was a little mischievous, but she was harmless. She did not offend anybody.

If Tuntun did not express her hostility at the start, Luo Qingwu would not have retaliated.

It was also common for youngsters to have fun with each other. If Tuntun was really vicious in her words, she would not go to the extent of hurting Luo Qingwu. At most, she just wanted to expose Luo Qingwu.

"However, no matter how I see it, I feel things will not be good for her in the future." Lin Feng laughed unkindly. "Between a bad-tempered person and a person with a vicious heart, without resorting to violence, the person who is bad-tempered is likely to be the one at a disadvantage."

Till here, Lin Feng's Immediate Disciple had agreed on their seniority.

Xiao Yan was the eldest disciple, followed by Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing. After that, Li Yuanfang was next followed by Shi Tianhao and Luo Qingwu.

Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu just joined, and they had to transit to the Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams as their foundation in their cultivation of mantras.

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and the rest all had their own disciples and they had to guide them along.

The second round of test was different from the first round of test. During the first round of test, the Foundational Disciples had already gone through a certain level of foundational training. After that were they only separated to their different Masters.

For those who passed the second round of test, there were those who came from the first Sect-Opening Ceremony at Shazhou County and those who came from the Sect-Opening Ceremony at Xiling City. Some of them had backgrounds in cultivation while some of them were totally new. But even if they had cultivated before, they did not do it with the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

That was why for this batch of Successive Disciples, Xiao Yan, Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao, Yue Hongyan and the rest had to work harder than before. Without Zhu Yi supporting laying the foundation for them, part of the new mantras the disciples had to cultivate had to be taught to them right from the beginning.

Yang Qing had no one under him, thus he was naturally relaxed. After going through necessary preparations, he started to retreat and pushed for the Aurous Core Stage.

And after settling what they had at hand, Xiao Yan and Shi Tianhao started to prepare for the Nascent Soul Stage.

For Shi Tianhao, Lin Feng was not too worried. In fact, before his battle with Shi Tianyi, Shi Tianhao had the ability to push for the Nascent Soul Stage. But to perfect it, he delayed it intentionally.

Now that he had attained victory over Shi Tianyi, regardless of his state of mind or powers, he had reached peak condition. Challenging the Void Lightning Tribulations now to form the Nascent Soul was guaranteed to succeed.

What left Lin Feng more bothered was Yang Qing forming the Aurous Core and Xiao Yan forming the Nascent Soul. For Yang Qing, it was because of his state of mind. His powers and control of his own body was almost perfect. The only challenge he faced was overcoming the barriers of life and death in his mind.

If he could do so, then forming the Aurous Core would be easy.

However, with Yang Qing's character, if he dared to take this step, it meant that he was well-aware. If he had even the slightest doubt, he would not have pushed for the Aurous Core Stage. It seemed like his previous trainings had produced very commendable results.

That was why Lin Feng was not too worried about Yang Qing. He just needed a little supervision.

The more problematic one was Xiao Yan. It had nothing to do with Xiao Yan. With his state of mind and powers, it was not too difficult for him to form the Nascent Soul.

But Lin Feng had wilder thought. If he could succeed, Xiao Yan's powers would be much stronger than expected. But because of this thought, it caused more risks and dangers to Xiao Yan when he wanted to form the Nascent Soul.

As a result, Lin Feng put most of his efforts on Xiao Yan, so as to change that thought into reality.

After listening to Lin Feng's explanation, Xiao Yan's first reaction was to agree. He was a very courageous person and did not fear danger. Lin Feng's thought suited his palate.

After everything started, it was as what Lin Feng expected. The first of the three to have some progress was Shi Tianhao.

After the Void Lightning Tribulations, Shi Tianhao's Aurous Core cracked. A flashing infant appeared out of his head. Around the infant, two streaks of colorful, holy lights of creation surfaced.

The radiance and aura of the holy light was contained within it and it looked very ordinary. But it carried an immense power.

"Congratulations to your Immediate Disciple, Shi Tianhao, for forming the Nascent Soul."

Lin Feng heard what was said in the system and the infant on Shi Tianhao's head slowly retreated back into his head. After roaring, he bowed towards Lin Feng, "Thank you Master for your guidance."

"Very good, very well done." Lin Feng nodded his head repeatedly, "I still have to take care of your Eldest Senior and Fifth Senior. I shall entrust you with a task."

"Nurture your Nascent Soul. After you stabilize, settle how you want to improve the cultivations of your disciples. After that, I need you to go and find something."

Chapter 620: Youngest Nascent Soul in History

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng's gaze was fixed on Shi Tianhao's eyes. As they looked at each other, Lin Feng passed a message into Shi Tianhao's mind using his supernatural awareness.

Shi Tianhao's eyes brightened, "Oh? This Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness is not the sole one. There are actually 8 more of them."

Lin Feng nodded his head, "Nurture your own Nascent Soul. When your cultivation stabilizes, go and search for the last remaining crucible based on the information that I just transmitted you."

"You are now a Master on your own. Before you leave, settle the training of your disciples first."

Shi Tianhao acknowledged, "Don't worry Master, I will make the necessary arrangements."

Lin Feng lifted his finger and a streak of flowing radiance flew up into mid-sky, converting into a ball of Purple Clouds. The Purple Clouds only looked as big as a fist, but it contained a small world created using Lin Feng's powers. The space within it was huge.

Within this small world, there was a gigantic light figure. On closer look, it was an enormous pavilion.

That pavilion was very majestic. It was as if it originated from some ancient holy land. It was extremely huge, such that it was unimaginable. Its boundaries were unknown.

The surface of the pavilion shone with golden light. The main body of the pavilion was green, but the dense foundation under it was pitch-black.

Amidst the golden light, countless runes and incantations surfaced. Like waves in the ocean, the immense force within dispersed, forming a petrifying scene.

It was Lin Feng's magic treasure, the Kun Peng Pavilion.

This magic treasure was mainly formed from half of the Kun Peng remains at the North Polar Sea. Although it had the structure of a building, it combined the power concepts of the two forms of the Kun Peng, which was extremely miraculous.

As the pavilion turned pure black, it infused the power concept of the Leviathan form. There was an immense force which was indestructible.

As the pavilion turned green, it infused the power concept of the Roc form. It was slightly weaker than the black pavilion, but it was more capable of producing a force that could transcend void space.

When he was cultivating this magic treasure, Lin Feng added more magic treasures to the foundation of the Kun Peng remains.

Previously at the Cloud Forest World, Lin Feng obtained some of the materials that the Golden Roc Grand Sage and the Grand Sage of Qiong Qi used to create the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation. Besides the Mingdu remains and the Netherworld Purple Crystal, there was also a black platform, an item used to supplement the power of Saturn in the formation.

It might look ordinary, but it revealed an unwavering and all-suppressing power concept. It was extremely dense.

This item was cut off from an Immemorial Holy Mountain and it was a good magic treasure embryo.

After Lin Feng formed the Immortal Soul, he did not cultivate it into a magic treasure, but infusing it within the Kun Peng Pavilion. He enabled the immense power within the black platform to combine with the black Kun Peng Pavilion, allowing it to rise by a level.

Besides this, when he destroyed the Aeolus Sect, the Heavenly Wind Holy Man's Heavenly Wind Treasure Fan also landed in Lin Feng's hands.

Although the fan was damaged, it could still be repaired. But Lin Feng did not do so. Rather, he cultivated it only with the Kun Peng Pavilion, combining the power of windstorm with that of the green Kun Peng Pavilion.

In this way, the Kun Peng Pavilion was formed from the combination of the ancient Kun Peng remains, the black platform and the Heavenly Wind Treasure Fan.

Lin Feng also used his own powers to cultivate it, thus the power of this magic treasure was extremely strong, far stronger than any ordinary magic treasure. Although it was still in the gestation realm, it was more powerful than most magic treasures in the metaplasia realm.

During the battle at the Dragon Battle Arena, Lin Feng was cautious and once passed this treasure to Shi Tianhao temporarily. After that, it was used in battle. When Shi Tianyi's Roll Void Flag appeared, the Kun Peng Pavilion attacked rampantly.

The Roll Void Flag could not overcome it and could not escape it either. It could only watch as Shi Tianyi was defeated by Shi Tianhao.

Shi Tianhao recognized this magic treasure and his eyes brightened, "Master, does this magic treasure belong to me now?"

Lin Feng nodded his head, "When you form your Nascent Soul, I will give you a magic treasure. This Kun Peng Pavilion was prepared for you."

As he said, Lin Feng removed his restrictions on it and advised the original soul of the magic treasure to listen to Shi Tianhao's orders and accept Shi Tianhao's will in cultivating it.

Just like the Eternal Night Demonic Stele given to Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao was unable to unleash the full powers of the Kun Peng Pavilion. But even so, it was still very powerful. With this magic treasure, Lin Feng could be rest assured as Shi Tianhao roamed the outside world.

As he received the Kun Peng Pavilion, Shi Tianhao was elated. He bade goodbye to Lin Feng and returned to the Wasteland Valley to comprehend his mantras.

After forming the Nascent Soul, he gained a deeper understanding of the Four Appearances Heaven-Cleaving Script. He felt that it was very miraculous.

Very soon, news of Shi Tianhao forming the Nascent Soul spread, causing a huge commotion in the Divine Lands. Even the Barren Expanses was affected.

Although Shi Tianhao was not the first disciple of Lin Feng to form the Nascent Soul, the commotion he created was far bigger than Zhu Yi or Wang Lin.

That was because he was still very young.

A 13 years old Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, there was no one like him!

When Shi Tianhao won the battle at the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Land, everyone had the feeling that Shi Tianhao was going to experience a tremendous rise.

Overcoming the Void Lightning Tribulations to form the Nascent Soul was not easy. This was something that everyone knew. If it was not Shi Tianhao, others might still think that forming the Nascent Soul would result in a bottleneck, unable to finish the last step.

But if it was Shi Tianhao, such a worry did not exist. If there was something stopping him from forming the Nascent Soul, it had to be the battle with Shi Tianyi.

But since Shi Tianhao had already emerged victorious, he had removed his last obstacle.

Everyone realized that after the battle, Shi Tianhao was bound to form the Nascent Soul.

But guessing was different from reality. As Shi Tianhao formed the Nascent Soul, news of it spread, causing everyone to be shocked.

That was because he was still young. Even if he was destined to be great, the speed at which he was doing things was still very rapid.

The human cultivation world agreed that whoever could form the Nascent Soul within 100 years was a top talent, while those who could form the Nascent Soul within 50 years were freaks who were unbelievably talented. In the younger generation, the number of cultivators who could do so could be counted with the ten fingers.

Shi Tianyi formed the Nascent Soul before he was even 17 years old, while Shi Tianhao was even better. He formed the Nascent Soul at the age of 13, making many others feel useless about themselves.

"The disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders could not be described as freaks anymore, they are just a bunch of crazy weirdos!" At this point, everyone let out a frustrated scream in their hearts.

Amidst the calm atmosphere within Mount Baiyun, there was a hint of frustration that surfaced.

This frustration originated from the few people who could interact with the secret talents of the Great Void Sect. While there were many cultivators in the external world who earned their reputation as freaks and unbelievable talents, they were still sure that the best of them all came from the Great Void Sect.

Along with Yan Mingyue, Pang Jie, and Shi Tianyi, Lin Daohan was also an elite talent. He formed the Nascent Soul when he was 15 and then the Immortal Soul when he was 36 years old. They were all the leading cultivators in the human cultivation world!

As for those in the internal ranks of the Great Void Sect who knew inside information, the Marquis of Jinghuan and Shi Tianyi were indeed very bright talents and deserved recognition, but they did not really cause any shocking impacts.

The reason was simple. There was Lin Daohan above them. Regardless whether they were destined individuals or divine cultivators, they looked ordinary in front Lin Daohan.

But all this was put to a stop today. There was a 13 years old youth who broke Lin Daohan's record.

In a simple hut amidst Mount Baiyun, Lin Daohan sat on his knees with a peaceful expression.

In front of him, a light figure flashed. The light figure surfaced Yan Mingyue's appearance. Yan Mingyue tilted her head while looking at Lin Daohan, laughing, "Senior, what's the feeling of being superseded?"

Lin Daohan said, "Records are meant to be broken. For the next generation to outshine the previous generation, it is a good thing."

Yan Mingyue, "I feel very relieved. Since young, the few of us have been lagging behind you and we are getting further and further. But to see you being on the losing end today, I am feeling a relief that I have never felt before."

After hearing what Yan Mingyue said, Lin Daohan laughed without replying. He shook his head, "Don't mock me anymore."

After joking, Yan Mingyue turned seriously slowly. She said, "Senior, how's the situation at the Barren Expanses?"

Lin Daohan replied, "The situation has stabilized."

He paused for a moment and asked, "To a certain extent, the result of the battle at Xiling City has affected the development of things at the Barren Expanses."

Yan Mingyue nodded her head and did not say anything more. She thought in her head, "Celestial Sect of Wonders is indeed gaining influence in the human cultivation world. Even the demons have been affected."

She thought for a moment before asking, "This is different from Zhu Yi and Wang Lin when they formed the Nascent Soul. The Celestial Sect of Wonders released news that Shi Tianhao had formed the Nascent Soul, but did not invite anyone over."

"Logically speaking, for Shi Tianhao to form the Nascent Soul so early, it is something to be celebrated."

Lin Daohan said quietly, "The leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders must be waiting for his disciple, Xiao Yan. His disciples are indeed powerful. To be more specific, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao are the most outstanding."

Yan Mingyue revealed a smile on her face, "If the Celestial Sect of Wonders organizes a big-scale ceremony in the future, will the Great Void Sect send someone over?"

"If they do not reject us, we will go." Lin Daohan looked calm, "Regardless, the growth of the disciples of the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is a blessing for the human cultivation race."

Yan Mingyue lifted her head to look in the sky and mumbled, "Indeed so."

Lin Feng was looking at Xiao Yan now. He did plan to organize a big celebration after Xiao Yan formed the Nascent Soul, but he also had other considerations.

Chapter 621: Killing Many Birds with One Stone

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Objectively speaking, although the Celestial Sect of Wonders was very reputable, it was lacking depth.

To put it more crudely, removing the rest of the Celestial Sect of Wonders except Lin Feng and his Immediate Disciples, there was no difference in the eyes of others.

In most eyes, the Celestial Sect of Wonders referred only to Lin Feng and his few Immediate Disciples.

This was not a very positive situation for a sect hoping to develop in the future. It had many outstanding cultivators in the higher ranks of the sect, but its foundation was still lacking.

To a certain extent, the current Celestial Sect of Wonders was like a reverse pyramid. No matter how one looked at it, it did not seem right.

Even for the Great Void Sect with many top-tier talents, they were still packed with capable cultivators in the medium and bottom levels of the pyramid.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders possessed very powerful cultivators at the top, but more time was needed to stabilize its foundation.

After Shi Tianhao formed the Nascent Soul, Lin Feng did not make a big fuss over it. On one hand, he wanted to wait for Xiao Yan. On the other hand, he wanted to wait for his later generation disciples to develop.

When that happened, it would be grand when he invited others over for a ceremony. If he navigated things well, he could allow the influence of the sect to climb another level.

Although no one dared to say it in front of him because of his powers, Lin Feng knew that there were many others who mocked his sect for having a lack of foundation.

As the leader, he was reputable. The few under him were also decently well-known. But the rest were all unknown. There was no system or scale to speak of.

If he planned things well for the future ceremony, he could switch this situation around. At the same time, he could unite everyone, establishing the core position of the Celestial Sect of Wonders among the other friendly great powers. This was killing many birds with one stone.

The final result was dependent on hard work. Since he had a plan and goal, Lin Feng had to prepare sufficiently for it.

Of course, he had to settle the problem of Xiao Yan forming the Nascent Soul first.

Right now, Xiao Yan sat on his knees on the ground. The Four Primordial Fires converted into four flaming wings which were wide open behind his back. The fire was magnificent and filled the entire skies.

The four flaming wings were divided into two per side, and each side mirrored the other side.

Out of the two flaming wings above his shoulders, the left side was the Pure Yang Primordial Fire and the right side was the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire.

Out of the two flaming wings below his waist, the left side was the Grand Sun Primordial Fire and the right side was the Nanming Primordial Fire.

Xiao Yan closed his eyes and the wing that was formed from the Pure Yang Primordial Fire started to twist and disperse, converting into a white sea of fire, covering the void space above Xiao Yan.

As Lin Feng saw this, he extended his right hand with his five fingers opened. He grabbed his fist and a powerful sense of aura spread, engulfing Xiao Yan. At the same time, it contained the flames around him.

Following that, Lin Feng's left index finger tapped Xiao Yan and a streak of black fire spurted out, landing on Xiao Yan's body. It was the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze, another Primordial Fire.

In this instant, the five Primordial Fires were gathering within Xiao Yan's body.

But they were not cordial towards one another. Very soon, there was a huge clash. They were like firecrackers that were in danger of exploding.

If Lin Feng did not use his powers to stabilize these Primordial Fires, Xiao Yan would have razed himself using the Primordial Fires that he possessed.

With his current Aurous Core Stage cultivation, controlling four Primordial Fires was his limit.

More accurately speaking, out of these four Primordial Fires, one had to be the Pure Yang Primordial Fire. Otherwise, if four Primordial Fires were chosen out of the remaining six, Xiao Yan was unable to withstand them too.

Five Primordial Fires were beyond Xiao Yan's limit. Even if he formed the Nascent Soul and entered the Beginner Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, he would still be unable to control five Primordial Fires.

But now, Lin Feng and Xiao Yan were trying to defy logic.

Xiao Zhener stood quietly at one side and watched Xiao Yan. She revealed a worried expression, but she was still calm. After she witnessed Lin Feng's powers at the battle of Xiling, she knew she could count on him.

But she could not help but feel worried as she watched Xiao Yan challenge something of such high difficulty.

"Observe carefully and understand the change in power within. This will help you in your cultivation of the Nanming Primordial Fire." Lin Feng's voice sounded. "The successors of the Emperor of the Ancients are proficient in the control of the Nanming Primordial Fire, but what we are about to do next is also unseen before. I believe it will help you if you can understand it. I will not stop you from passing it down to your family."

Xiao Zhener replied, "Thank you Elder for your guidance." Although Lin Feng said that, she knew what was respect. Lin Feng was generous enough to let her watch, thus she would not pass down what she saw.

Lin Feng nodded his head and stopped speaking. Both their attentions were fixed on Xiao Yan now.

The white sea of fire above Xiao Yan was surging continuously, while the other Four Primordial Fires were sucked within the white sea of fire under his command.

With Lin Feng's powers protecting him, Xiao Yan could use his mind to control the Primordial Fires.

Amidst the white sea of fire, the other four Primordial Fires were raging non-stop. They were infused into Xiao Yan's supernatural awareness and powers, and were being cultivated.

Slowly, in the western direction of the white sea of fire, the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire gathered and converted into a ferocious, purple tiger slowly. As it roared, an aura of ferocity was unleashed.

The image of the Great White Tiger unleashed a spirit of merciless killing. All life was killed by it.

After cultivating the Four Appearances Heaven-Cleaving Script, Xiao Yan infused his understanding of the way of the Heavens and Earth, as the four images of the Jade Green Dragon, Blood Red Sparrow, Great White Tiger and Genbu were birthed.

Out of the five Primordial Fires that he possessed now, the most ferocious and destructive one of all, the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire, gathered to form the Great White Tiger image. It was a perfect complement. As the powers of both parties combined, they were pushed to the extremes.

And in the southern direction of the white sea of fire, it was the golden Grand Sun Primordial Fire, which converted into a sparrow. The sparrow moved the Nine Heavens, as if it wanted to destruct all matter.

This was the Blood Red Sparrow image formed from the Grand Sun Primordial Fire.

In the northern direction of the white sea of fire, the Nanming Primordial fire gathered. The red and blue radiance from it separated gradually. Within the red radiance, there was an aura of silence. Whereas within the blue radiance, there was an unusual activity.

The flames separated and a portion of it combined with the red radiance to create a turtle form, while another portion of it combined with the blue radiance to create a snake form.

As both parties combined again, a miraculous power concept was birthed. It was the image of Genbu.

In the eastern direction of the white sea of fire, there was a ball of Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze that was surging. It was abnormally fierce and was attempting to engulf everything around it that it came into contact with. Even the other Primordial Fires were not spared.

But with Lin Feng's powers suppressing it, along with the Vairocana Pristine Cleansing Fire sealing it, the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze could not do much.

Xiao Yan quietened down and used his own powers plus the Pure Yang Primordial Fire to cultivate the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze patiently.

Slowly, the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze converted into a dragon, which rose from the white sea of fire. The dragon was obscure and unpredictable.

After the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze formed the Jade Green Dragon image, Xiao Yan heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally made a critical step forward.

Lin Feng was also more relieved. At this stage, he could confirm that his thought was possible.

Lin Feng wanted to help Xiao Yan control the five Primordial Fires in the Beginner Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage. But the difficulty was high.

The solution was to use the Pure Yang Primordial Fire as the foundation to combine the miraculous effects of the other flames, so as to allow him to control the other four Primordial Fires.

Using the way concept of the Four Appearances Heaven-Cleaving Script, he could infuse the Primordial Fires and cultivate them separately. From there, he could separate the Primordial Fires and control them, thus preventing them from clashing with one another.

To a certain extent, it was like how Shi Tianhao cultivated the four Great Chaos Furnance using the blood essence of the Four Immemorial Evil Beasts.

The model Xiao Yan first used to cultivate the Four Appearances Heaven-Cleaving Script was inside out, just like Zhu Yi. Whereas Shi Tianhao cultivated it from outside in.

Now, with Lin Feng's help, Xiao Yan combined both models together, ascending another level.

Of course, at this stage, Xiao Yan's cultivation was only the start. He had to cultivate the Four Primordial Fires continuously and maintain the balance and perfect condition.

Once he became more familiar, he could control his model of cultivation and challenge the Void Lightning Tribulations in that state.

The two difficulties of this plan Lin Feng had for Xiao Yan were also the key points of it. Firstly, he had to use the Pure Yang Primordial Fire as the foundation and the Four Primordial Fires as the entity of the Four Appearances.

Secondly, in this delicate state, he had to attempt to overcome the Void Lightning Tribulations.

Right now, Xiao Yan could control the Primordial Fire with Lin Feng's help. Only after he overcame the Void Lightning Tribulations could he truly control his own cultivation.

But he could not cultivate the Four Appearances after he formed the Nascent Soul. That was because the powers he obtained would not be pure enough and could not be entirely cultivated into his own Nascent Soul.

Only by tapping on his state of cultivating the Nascent Soul could he perfect his powers.

Undoubtedly, there was a huge risk involved. That was because during the formation of the Nascent Soul, Lin Feng could not help him. He could only count on himself.

Before this, Xiao Yan had to at least be able to endure for a period of time with his own powers. This period of time was the time he needed to overcome the Void Lightning Tribulations and form the Nascent Soul.

This required more training. In this process, Lin Feng would continue to protect him and ensure that nothing went wrong.

Following the shift of time, Xiao Yan's powers became purer, while Shi Tianhao had already left the mountain to search for the last Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness.

According to Yi Longbin from the Samsara Sect, the place to find was not far from the Celestial Sect of Wonders. It was even within the boundaries of Mount Kunlun, at the border of the north foot of Mount Kunlun.

However, a few days later, Shi Tianhao returned with some news that left Lin Feng slightly shocked.

Chapter 622: A Middle World Yet to be Uncovered

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"Master, when I was searching for the last crucible, I made some discoveries, but who knew there was a power shift within the boundaries of the north foot of Mount Kunlun. The barrier of the world cracked and formed a hole."

The news that Shi Tianhao relayed to him caught him by surprise. "This hole is the opening of a boundary pathway. This boundary pathway leads to a Middle World. The Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness landed in the Middle World following the space-time turbulence."

"I wanted to enter the Middle World, but I can't find the door to it." After pausing for a moment, Shi Tianhao replenished his words with, "Although I could not enter it, I observed it from afar. That Middle World seemed to be isolated and I think that it is yet to be discovered. It is still in its primitive state!"

After listening to Shi Tianhao's report, Lin Feng asked, "Although it is separated by a boundary pathway, you should be able to sense the movement of spiritual energy from within. Could you tell the basic conditions of this Middle World?"

"From afar, I could feel that the spiritual energy was very ordinary. It is similar to the Greater World and the Divine Lands, and is suitable for humans to reside within." Shi Tianhao was a little upset and was excited too, "However, from afar, I saw a Water Marrow Crystal Mine that revealed its surface. From the looks of it, it's storage quantity is immense!"

The Water Marrow Crystal was a very valuable treasure in the Grand Celestial World, which could be used to cultivate elixirs. It could also be used to cultivate magic items and help a cultivator cultivate.

Not only for cultivators who cultivated water-type mantras, cultivators who specialized in other types of mantras could also use the Water Marrow Crystal to nourish their own powers and cultivate all sorts of mantras and abhijnas.

It had a wide variety of uses and the demand for it was high. But its supply was low. After many years of digging and searching for it, this kind of crystal mines became very rare already.

As long as the mine was complete and was not exploited too excessively, the Water Marrow Crystal could be produced continuously from it.

In the entire Greater World, there was a rarity of the Water Marrow Crystal. It was almost impossible to find a complete mine. This Middle World that Shi Tianhao discovered contained an entire Water Marrow Crystal Mine, which was a shocking news. Once it spread, it would attract a lot of attention.

Moreover, as what Shi Tianhao said, he only watched from afar. He did not even enter this Middle World, what more explore it. Maybe besides the Water Marrow Crystal Mine, there were other treasures to be uncovered.

Overall speaking, this was a Middle World that had a lot of potential.

No one had ever set foot on it. Shi Tianhao and the Celestial Sect of Wonders could be the first ones to set foot on that piece of land, the new world in its primitive state that possessed unlimited potential.

After recovering from his shock, Lin Feng was even more surprised. If he could claim this Middle World to his own, then his sect would undoubtedly have much room for development in the future.

He could even accumulate immigrants and develop this world. On one hand, he could obtain more resources. On another hand, as immigrants streamed in, he could scout for more talents for the sect.

If this Middle World contained sufficient resources, then he could have more chips in his hands and attain more benefits. He could then unite the other sects with the Celestial Sect of Wonders as the core of everything.

In conclusion, there were many benefits and they could not be missed.

Of course, to develop that world, he would need to invest a large amount of effort. After a period of accumulation, it was then the time for harvest.

However, the pre-condition for all of this was that he had to enter this Middle World first.

"This Middle World has always been sealed. The boundary pathway with the Greater World was only just created, thus it is very unstable." Lin Feng pondered in his mind. "However, how strong are the powers of the boundary? Even if it is unstable, there will not be any major shifts. This boundary pathway should still be at the north foot of Mount Kunlun. But it is not easily spotted. It only appears at times."

As he thought till here, Lin Feng communicated with Shi Tianhao, "Stay nearby and don't wander off, there will be others who will reinforce you."

He lightly tapped his finger and Purple Clouds converted into a scroll banner. After that, he wrote a few words on the scroll and sealed his powers within it.

"Zhu Yi, come over here."

Under such a circumstance, Lin Feng had to find the most professional person to deal with things.

Zhu Yi was confused as he appeared before Lin Feng. After hearing Lin Feng describe the entire situation, he thought of the key point, "This Middle World has resources that can be unearthed and has space for immigrants to flourish. It will be very beneficial to the development of the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

Lin Feng passed the scroll to him, "I have to stay here to protect your Eldest Senior. Take this scroll and find Tianhao. Go with him to find the position of the boundary pathway to the Middle World. After that, use this scroll to stabilize the opening of it."

Zhu Yi received the scroll and nodded his head, "Rest assured Master, I will deal with it appropriately."

After sending Zhu Yi off, Lin Feng thought in his mind, "North foot of Mount Kunlun...it's a little far from the Mirror Lake and Yun Peak. It may not have a huge impact on the influence of the sect. Fortunately, I have Mount Yujing."

"What I have to be worried about is Mount Shu. That place is not far from Mount Shu." Lin Feng was a little worried, "When the time is ripe, I must pay a visit to Mount Shu."

In the system, the establishment of the third chapter of the Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtues had begun.

It started when Lin Feng obtained part of the secret of the Eternal Holy Light of the Immortal Dragon City from Shi Yu.

Through the Forever-Bright Tathagata Mantra, Lin Feng comprehended the true meaning of light. Through the Mingdu remains, he comprehended the true meaning of darkness.

Through Mount Yujing, Eternal Glow and Instant Heavenly Gravel, Lin Feng comprehended the two extremes of time, the power concept of eternality and instant.

Through the Pure-Yang Primordial Fire, Lin Feng comprehended the power concept of Pure Yang. Through the Netherworld Purple Crystal, he comprehended the power concept of Pure Yin.

Through the Ancient Mirage Leather, Lin Feng understood the art of illusion. Through the Heaven-Reflecting Stone, he understood the art of reality.

Through the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds, Lin Feng understood how the Heavens bred life. Through the Central Wutu Divine Light, he understood how the Earth contained all matter.

Through the Door of Life Creation and the Deathly Gas Stone, he comprehended how life and death is temporary.

Every corresponding power concepts were the superior reflection of the Two Elements. Along with the countless transformations of the Two Elements of Creation Formation, Lin Feng finally started the third chapter of the Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtues, the .

But there was still a long way to go before the chapter was completed. After the battle at Xiling City, Lin Feng was busy with revamping the sect and guiding his disciples, as well as cultivating his own mantras.

He could roughly feel that the creation of the Two Elements Chapter and his own understanding of the way of the Heavens and Earth had a direct connection to the cultivation of the virtual entity. They supplemented each other.

As the Two Elements Chapter was completed, he could cultivate the virtual entity. And once he reached that stage, it meant that he could completely understand the true meaning of the Two Elements and complete the Two Elements Chapter.

There was no dilemma between, nor was there any order in which who came first. Both were a single entity. They progressed together and completed together.

After Zhu Yi left for the north foot of Mount Kunlun, Lin Feng remained on Mount Yujing to take care of Xiao Yan. At the same time, he tried to figure out his own cultivation and mantras.

After some time, Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao did not return any news. On the other hand, Yang Qing reported some celebratory news.

Yang Qing did not require Lin Feng's special attention, but Lin Feng did put some attention on him.

Right now, this youth in purple robe looked calm. Although he still seemed gentle, his refined aura spread. His entire person looked mature.

As he closed his eyes, a whole Dual Polarity Flower floated above his head. The spiritual energy and way concept contained within were absorbed into Yang Qing's body.

Lin Feng used his supernatural awareness to scan and noticed that within Yang Qing's aura sea, there was a crucible erected on the spiritual altar. Within the crucible, there was the intersection of jade-green water flow and golden flames, forming a Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram that was half green and half golden.

Right now, this Taiji Diagram spun continuously and contrasted the void figure of an Aurous Core. Within the crucible, it rose and sank, and balls of Purple Clouds rumbled.

After a long while, the Taiji Diagram shone with light and shrank, infusing within the void figure of the Aurous Core.

The void figure of the Aurous Core fell suddenly and the flashing golden light converted into purple light at this point.

As the purple light flashed, the void figure converted into a practical entity, revealing an undying and long-lasting power concept.

Yang Qing had finally formed the Aurous Core.

"Oh?" Lin Feng focused his gaze and observed carefully. He saw that within Yang Qing's Aurous Core, it was half golden and half green!

Like a golden needle, the Grand Sun Primordial Fire's radiance gathered and burned ferociously. It was contrasted with the jade-green water flow of the Grand Moon Primordial Water.

As Yin and Yang combined, there was no sense of conflict. On the other hand, they complemented each other and converted into a perfect balance of Yin and Yang. They formed the appearance of a Taiji Diagram, which spun within Yang Qing's Aurous Core.

The purple pill formed an image!

Lin Feng looked at this scene and laughed. Yang Qing was indeed Yang Qing. His nine-pointer Innate Ability and Intelligence was not just for show.

Of course, the path of cultivation was long. It didn't mean that because he passed this stage, there would be no problem in the future. Yang Qing's Determination was still low. The three obstacles in the Aurous Core were all life-threatening barriers to him.

But Lin Feng had already prepared himself psychologically. He would watch over the growth of every disciple. If he could nurture Wang Lin, then he had the same confidence to help nurture Yang Qing. Furthermore, Yang Qing was not someone who was difficult to nurture, thus Lin Feng was even more confident.

Yang Qing opened his eyes and spat out a breath of turbid air. He looked happy and as he saw Lin Feng's smile, he was at a loss for words.

He bowed towards him and his gratitude was expressed in the silence.

Lin Feng smiled and used his palm to lift Yang Qing up. At this point, Lin Feng received news from Zhu Yi.

"Master, Tianhao and I have found the boundary pathway to the Middle World. I have used the scroll to stabilize it." After pausing for a moment, Zhu Yi continued saying, "Tianhao did not see wrongly. It is indeed a Middle World that has not been explored before."

Chapter 623: Fighting to Claim the New World

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

After receiving the news from Zhu Yi, Lin Feng nodded his head slightly, answering, "Regarding the Water Marrow Crystal Mine, have you verified it?"

"There is indeed such a thing." Zhu Yi replied. "The mine is near the opening of the boundary pathway. As long as the barriers of void space can be seen through, I can clearly tell the surface of the crystal mine."

"The disciples are now guarding the opening of the boundary pathway, but have not yet entered the Middle World. Thus, we can't confirm the detailed size and quality of the mine. But from the looks of it, it is an outstanding one."

Lin Feng said, "Very good. Guard there first and don't let anyone enter. Wait for the others to meet up with all of you there."

After cutting the communication, Lin Feng turned his head to look at Yang Qing, smiling, "Your Second Senior and Junior found a new Middle World which has never been set foot upon before."

Yang Qing was stunned and he asked, "A…brand new Middle World? Are there inhabitants?"

Lin Feng shook his head, "This Middle World is still in its primitive state. It might breed life, but the level of it will not be high."

"Master, I heard that many great powers will exploit the development of a Middle World to garner resources. Some of the Middle Worlds were even the venue of conflicts between these great powers. There have been very few worlds that are still in its primitive state recently."

Yang Qing pondered for a moment before saying, "I wonder what's the resources of this Middle World like? If it is rich in resources, claiming it will surely help in the development of the sect?"

Lin Feng looked at him curiously and laughed, "Yes, you are right. Anything else?"

Yang Qing laughed, "My thinking is very shallow. I am just guessing."

"No, you are right." Lin Feng shook his head and encouraged him, "What else did you think of? Tell me."

Yang Qing asked while thinking, "Master, where is the boundary pathway of that Middle World?"

"North foot of Mount Kunlun." Lin Feng laughed while answering, "What do you think we should do next?"

After hearing that the opening was at the north foot of Mount Kunlun, Yang Qing heaved a sigh of relief. That was within the territorial boundaries of the sect. Furthermore, it was first discovered by Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao. Since it was likely no one knew about it, they had a lot of room to do what they wanted and also sufficient time to do so.

Yang Qing said, "I reckon that we have to guard the opening of the boundary pathway first. Before we complete the necessary preparations, we have to prevent others from entering it. After that, we shall enter the Middle World and explore it, confirming the resources within as well as the dangers present."

Lin Feng asked, "Is there anything else?"

Yang Qing thought for a moment and shook his head, "As for the rest, I can't think of anything."

Lin Feng laughed, "Exploration of the Middle World is not just about confirming the resources and the dangers present. We also have to verify if there is only one boundary pathway to this Middle World."

"Some Middle Worlds only have one boundary pathway to a Greater World, such as the Ancient Huanghai World. But there are those with more than one pathways, like the Ancient Yuantian World."

Lin Feng looked at Yang Qing and said, "While guarding the pathway is important, to control the entire Middle World, it is necessary to develop a deeper understanding of it."

Yang Qing nodded his head, "Yes, I understand."

"Learn slowly. You are doing well already." Lin Feng smiled while he said. "When each of you form the Aurous Core, I will give each of you a Nascent Soul Stage magic item. This item is yours now."

After he finished speaking, Lin Feng used his finger to conjure a streak of white light, which landed in front of Yang Qing. It was a squarish wooden box.

"This item is called the Space-Chopping Dagger. It is very ferocious and it can inflict very serious harm. I am giving this to you because you are a very passive person. Thus, your cultivation is very conservative. This item is used to supplement what is missing."

After he heard Lin Feng's words, Yang Qing laughed. He naturally knew how he was like. He thanked Lin Feng and kept the wooden box.

Under Lin Feng's guidance, Yang Qing cultivated this magic item and converted it to his magic treasure.

Regardless whether it was an Immortal Soul Stage magic treasure given to Shi Tianhao or the Nascent Soul Stage magic item given to Yang Qing, Lin Feng had to consider things carefully first. The treasures given to them had to be appropriate.

As what he said earlier, Yang Qing was very passive. He lacked an offensive side to him, thus Lin Feng gave him the Space-Chopping Dagger to supplement the area that he was lacking in.

This Nascent Soul Stage magic item was drawn out from the system. He could not use it, thus he kept it. During then, he was already preparing for the time when Yang Qing formed the Aurous Core.

The Space-Chopping Dagger had an offensive power that was one of the most outstanding among all the Nascent Soul Stage magic items. When Lin Feng obtained it from the system, he immediately felt that it was very suitable for Yang Qing. Thus, he never once traded this magic item.

Yang Qing kept the Space-Chopping Dagger and Lin Feng said, "Very well, follow your Third Senior to find your Second Senior and Junior."

He called Wang Lin over and explained everything to him. Wang Lin was calm, but he revealed a sense of excitement, nodding his head and saying, "I will go over now."

Lin Feng nodded his head, "When you reach the place, the few of you shall go and explore it. Go and find out the detailed resources of the mine and understand the environment of the world. Pay close attention to things around you."

Wang Lin and Yang Qing acknowledged, "Roger Master."

Lin Feng summoned the Virtuous Zen Master over and said, "Thank you for making this trip."

The Virtuous Zen Master clasped his palms together and said, "Don't worry Master. I will guard the boundary pathway and allow the rest of them to explore the Middle World."

The Virtuous Zen Master was very experienced and generous. He readily agreed to Lin Feng's request.

"Thank you Elder." Lin Feng nodded his head. Wang Lin, Yang Qing and the Virtuous Zen Master proceeded out of Mount Yujing towards the north foot of Mount Kunlun to meet up with Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao and the rest.

Xiao Yan was now perfecting his powers now in preparation to form the Nascent Soul. Yue Hongyan retreated to cultivate, while Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu were also focusing on their cultivations.

That was why Lin Feng did not send any of them for this mission.

Wang Lin and Yang Qing followed the Virtuous Zen Master as they transcended space. Very soon, they reached the place with the guidance of Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao.

Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao were standing on a mountain valley. In the deep ends of the mountain valley, a huge spatial crack was found there.

In space, a scroll that was flashing with 7 different radiances was floating, as if it was hung in mid-space. It was the scroll that was given to Zhu Yi by Lin Feng.

The scroll unleashed its powers and stabilized the spatial crack. Following the shift of time, the radiances on the scroll became dimmer and the aura of the scroll started to diminish.

However, the spatial crack had stabilized too. It was like a door to another world now.

Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao saw the Virtuous Zen Master arriving and bowed towards him. The Virtuous Zen Master reciprocated.

"This place is at the edge of the north foot of Mount Kunlun, closely linked to the border of the Great Qin Empire. At the same time, it is near the territorial boundaries of the Mount Shu Sword Sect." Zhu Yi said, "Although we found this place first, we have to plan before we can gain full control of it."

Everyone nodded their heads. As with the Ancient Huanghai World, this Middle World is within the Great Qin Empire territories and near its borders. It also invited a lot of scrutiny from other great powers. The Great Qin Empire called for the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai to allow the successors of the other great powers to enter the Ancient Huanghai World for training. Besides being a method of gathering the great powers, it was also a way of achieving balance.

Entering the world was only the beginning. To really control this Middle World, there was a lot of other work to do.

The Virtuous Zen Master said, "Please rest assured, I will be here guarding the opening. I will not let others enter."

Zhu Yi and everyone said, "Thank you Elder."

"But all of you have to be careful when you enter this Middle World. There are naturally dangers within. All of you must also be wary of another opening, where other cultivators can barge in from." The Virtuous Zen Master warned. Zhu Yi and the rest nodded their heads,

After that, the Virtuous Zen Master sat on his knees on the mountain valley, as he watched over the opening of the boundary pathway. Whereas Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao and the rest entered the Middle World.

Tuntun, who was with Shi Tianhao, asked curiously, "What do you think this Middle World should be called? Since we are the first to find it, I guess we can name it?"

Zhu Yi laughed, "Before I came, Master asked me to call it the Celestial Wonders World."

"Celestial Wonders World?" Tuntun pursed her lips, "That's fine. But the key is to find out what good stuff it contains."

As they passed the boundary pathway, they entered the Celestial Wonders World. The first thing that caught everyone's attention was the crystal mine.

This was the Water Marrow Crystal Mine that Shi Tianhao mentioned previously. This was a large-scale crystal mine. Just its surface was already a spectacle. Whatever that was buried underneath was bound to be even larger.

As Tuntun saw this, her eyes widened. She could not wait to find out what was underneath it.

If it were not for Shi Tianhao's quick hands, she would have pounced onto the crystal mine.

"Besides the Water Marrow Crystal Mine, let's see if there are any other resources." Shi Tianhao, Zhu Yi and the rest looked at one another. "Let us also explore if there are any other boundary pathways in this Celestial Wonders World."

As they were discussing, they were ignorant of the fact that the sky was twisting tremendously on the other side of the Celestial Wonders World. The boundary barrier of the Middle World opened another big hole.

This hole was very unstable, as if it was a giant beast that engulfed everything.

An elder burst out of the hole and landed within the Celestial Wonders World. The elder was tall and big and he looked fierce. Although his face revealed the hardships he had been through, it could not hide his passion.

"I have finally escaped from the Void Battleground, but it's my misfortune to have met all you annoying fellows. If this continues, the valuable spiritual energy that I have prepared for my precious Tianhao will be gone." He spat and turned his head to look at the huge hole. He saw a few figures rushing out of the hole vigorously. All of them landed in the Celestial Wonders World together.

Chapter 624: Domineering Elder Shi

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng's worry became reality. Besides the boundary pathway that Zhu Yi and the rest used, another boundary pathway towards the Celestial Wonders World was formed. But this pathway was not connected to the Greater World, but the Void Battleground.

This pathway was unstable and kept on twisting. An elder and a few people in black rushed out from it.

The elder was tall and his hair was messy. He had a long beard, but it did not mask his charming looks.

Right now, he looked fatigued and seemed to be injured. But he was very passionate. The essence in his body surged, which seemed capable of driving the Heavens and Earth.

The elder flipped his palm and revealed a jade-white brocade box. He opened the box carefully and there were a few blood-red fruits within it.

He smelt the aura of the fruits with his nose and revealed a smile on his face, "Good, very good, more than half of the spiritual energy is still preserved."

Behind him, three men in black robes surrounded him. Each of their aura were frightening.

The three of them were in the Immortal Soul Stage. As they descended in the Celestial Wonders World, they took up a triangular formation and surrounded the elder, who was in the center of that formation.

"Shi Zhongtian, you may have formed the Immortal Soul in the Void Battleground, but you can't escape today. Be obedient and follow us."

The elder was not fearful and laughed instead, "Nonsense! I almost died in the Void Battleground because I was searching for treasures for my grandson. Now that I have escaped from there, of course I must return to find him. I don't have time to deal with all of you."

He looked in the sky and sighed, "The time in the Void Battleground is too messy. The speed at which time passed in the various places inside there were different. I can't tell how long has passed in the Greater World. Is it 13 or 14 years?"

Shi Zhongtian laughed while shaking his head, "Forget it. If I can't tell, then forget it. The thing is, since so long has passed, Tianhao must have grown up. I wonder how he looks like now? Is he as heroic as his father, or is he like a chubby little kid now?"

"Haha, this makes me so excited to see him."

Even if he was surrounded by three Immortal Soul Stage Elders, he still remained cheerful and fearless. He was more concerned about how he was going to reunite with his family.

The three men in black robes were also not furious. One of them stared at Shi Zhongtian and said, "Your grandson is called Shi Tianhao?"

"Oh?" Shi Zhongtian retracted his smile slightly and turned his attention to this man. He became more serious, "You have heard of him?"

The man replied, "He has a Natural Supreme Tao Foundation, how can I not have heard of him?"

Shi Zhongtian was shocked for a moment, before he started laughing, "Good! Good! Although I felt that Tianhao had some special qualities in the past, I didn't expect him to have a Natural Supreme Tao Foundation. Good! Very good!"

The man said, "He is indeed special, but it's a pity that his Natural Supreme Tao Foundation was robbed from him by Shi Tianyi. Eventually, he died and became the stepping stone to the rise of Shi Tianyi. What a pity."

Shi Zhongtian's smile vanished and he stared at the man, "Did you just say that Tianhao is dead?"

The man in the black robe laughed, "This happened when he was 6 months old. Think about it. How could he have survived at such a young age as his Natural Supreme Tao Foundation was taken away from him?"

"13 years has passed since then. During then, this was a matter that everyone knew in the Divine Lands."

"But today, most people have forgotten about this. On the contrary, they praise Shi Tianyi for his talented cultivation. In reality, his talent was extraordinary. As he obtained the Natural Supreme Tao Foundation from your grandson, he became invincible."

"Everyone felt that the Shi Family did a fair trade by focusing all their resources on one person. Eventually, a very outstanding talent in the younger generation of the human cultivation race was produced."

Shi Zhongtian said, "There are many secrets regarding this matter. It can't be as well-known as you described. I believe even many of the Shi Family members are unaware. How do the few of you know so clearly?"

The man in black robe looked at Shi Zhongtian before answering, "Oh, that's because when your grandson's Tao Foundation was transferred, we helped Shi Tianyi complete the task."

Shi Zhongtian stood quietly in void space expressionlessly. He did not move, just like a statue.

But anyone could feel the surge in mana around his body. He was like a volcano that was about to erupt. Although he had not erupted yet, the burning aura was already present.

The three men in black robes looked at one another and nodded their heads.

Shi Zhongtian experienced a miracle in the Void Battleground. Not only did he break through the bottleneck that he always experienced, transiting from the Advanced Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage to the Immortal Soul Stage, he also had other rewards.

His battling skills were extraordinary. When he was still in the Nascent Soul Stage, he looked down on everyone in the Shi Family except the clan leader, Shi Wu. In the Great Qin Empire, his name was very reputable and there was no one who could match up to him below the Immortal Soul Stge.

Now that he was in the Immortal Soul Stage, he experienced another miracle, allowing his powers to reach a frightening standard.

Inside the Void Battleground, the three Immortal Soul Stage cultivators fought him. If they fought him alone, they were not his match. One of them was even almost killed by Shi Zhongtian.

As the three of them banded together, along with the help of two magic treasures, they forced Shi Zhongtian to escape and they chased after him.

Regarding the abilities of the person in front of them, the three men in black robes were clear of them. They also knew that Shi Zhongtian was furious, driving his powers to the extreme.

But they still wanted to infuriate him, as they did not want him to escape.

Although Shi Zhongtian was powerful, they had a method of stopping him.

After all, their target was to capture Shi Zhongtian alive and not to kill him. This was much more difficult, especially if Shi Zhongtian wanted to escape.

"When we attack, one of us will engage him. After that, another person will ring the Soul-Shaking Bell, disrupting the connection between his soul and the Immortal Soul Avatar. The last person will then use the Soul-Repressing Clock to repress him." The three of them exchanged opinions with one another and they soon had a plan in action.

There were a few others who came along with them who were in the Nascent Soul Stage. They could not directly intervene and surround Shi Zhongtian, thus they stayed far away, forming a formation shape, further trapping Shi Zhongtian. They acted like the second line of defense.

Just as they were prepared to attack, Shi Zhongtian laughed.

"You are lying to me."

Shi Zhongtian said calmly.

The man in black robes raised their brows. They saw that Shi Zhongtian was calm, even as the mana around him surged. "Tianhao may have met with a disaster, but he is definitely fine. Not only is he not dead, he is even stronger than before. Or should I say, there is someone powerful protecting him. So powerful until all of you don't dare to deal with him. That is why all of you are targeting me."

The elder's long hair swayed in the wind, "I don't know who all of you are, but from your abhijnas, all of you seem to come from the Hall of the Dead. I have been in the Void Battleground for years and have met people like you all. Regardless of your cultivations, all of you do the same thing, that is collecting the powerful souls of people who are extraordinary."

"Although I have formed the Immortal Soul, my soul is not special among those in the same realm. You don't have to catch me. If you are killing me for Shi Tianyi, I can still understand. But if you want to capture me alive, it can only be used for coercing others!"

Shi Zhongtian's gaze alternated between the three of them and his voice was as calm as ever, "You are using me as a hostage to blackmail which person?"

The three of them remained silent. Shi Zhongtian was powerful, direct, and hot-tempered, but he was very quick-thinking too.

"It seems like Tianhao is doing well!" Shi Zhongtian laughed again. "I have already formed the Immortal Soul, but I am still targeted as a hostage to threaten someone else. The target all of you plan to threaten must be extremely powerful?"

"The Great Thunderclap Temple has long perished. Don't tell me it is Mount Shu? Or is it the Great Qin Emperor? Or the Great Void Sect? Surely not the Great Zhou Empire?" Shi Zhongtian looked at them, "From your expressions, it seems like it's neither of them. Don't tell me there's someone powerful who has risen in the Greater World in recent times?"

The leader of the men in black robes opened his mouth, "No point saying so much. Follow us and you will know."

As he spoke, the three men in black robes conjured spells. Three huge whirlpools appeared in the sky and connected with one another, covering thousands of square radiuses in area. They engulfed the space above Shi Zhongtian.

"You want to capture me, but now I feel like doing it to all of you and interrogate all of you for news of Tianhao!"

Shi Zhongtian shouted and stripped himself off his human form. He unleashed his Immortal Soul Avatar and converted into white light dragon that was surrounded by black gas.

The core mantra of the Shi Family, the Supreme White Dragon Mantra, produced a white light dragon when cultivated into an Immortal Soul Avatar.

But as Shi Zhongtian revealed his Immortal Soul Stage Avatar, it seemed different. Streaks of black gases surrounded the dragon and blood-red radiances shout out from the gases, unveiling a mighty stature.

The three of the men in black robes unleashed the Soul-Sucking Whirlpool, but they could not do anything to Shi Zhongtian. On the other hand, they were placed on the back foot as Shi Zhongtian converted into a streak of flowing light and leaped in front of one of the man in black robe.

The surface area of the Celestial Wonders World was huge, but the vibration of mana as the Immortal Soul Stage cultivators fought alarmed Shi Tianhao, Zhu Yi and the rest who were on the other side of the world.

Shi Tianhao was a little fearful as he looked in the direction of the vibration of mana. He was a little stunned.

"According to the vibration of space, there must be another boundary pathway that has opened. Master's premonition has come true." Zhu Yi turned his head to look at Shi Tianhao, asking, "You know them?"

Shi Tianhao shook his head and seemed a little confused, "I don't know them, but I have a weird feeling."

"One party is from the Hall of the Dead." Wang Lin's said in a deep voice.

Zhu Yi said, "Let's go and check it out. Although they may be in the Immortal Soul Stage, we have Master's magic treasure with us. We will be protected.

Everyone nodded their heads in unison and Shi Tianhao was quiet. They rushed towards the area where the fight ensued.

Chapter 625: Reunification!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

After entering the Celestial Wonders World, although Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao and the rest were eager to explore this unknown world, to remain prudent, they did not separate from one another. On the other hand, they advanced together.

After a period of exploration, they could confirm that the spiritual energy in the Celestial Wonders World was not exactly very nourishing. It was around the same as the situation in the Greater World. It was not comparable to Mount Yujing, Mount Baiyun, Mount Shu, Xiling City and Tianjing.

But in this Middle World, there were a few places that gathered large amounts of spiritual energy. As a result, many valuable treasures were nurtured.

The Water Marrow Crystal was one of them. It was probably not even the most valuable of them all in the Celestial Wonders World.

Since the Celestial Wonders World had never been explored before, the resources were never consumed. There was bound to be many good stuff to be discovered.

Especially since there was no one in this world, most of the resources should be intact.

As Shi Tianhao and the rest were prepared to continue their exploration, they felt a vibration of power from the boundaries of the world. It seemed as if a hole had appeared somewhere. This meant that the Celestial Wonders World had surfaced another boundary pathway.

Following that, there was a strong vibration of mana that swept across the place. That was a motion that could only be initiated when Immortal Soul Stage cultivators battled.

The few of them quickly rushed towards the spot where the fight ensued. At the same time, they passed news to the Virtuous Zen Master who was guarding the opening of the boundary pathway. They also reported to Lin Feng who was far away at Mount Yujing.

"Tianhao feels weird?" Lin Feng received Zhu Yi's message. He was not really bothered about the people from the Hall of the Dead. Rather, he was curious as to who could make Shi Tianhao develop such a weird feeling.

"Mm, maybe it's a blessing and not a misfortune..." Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Go and settle it appropriately."

After ending his communication with Lin Feng, Zhu Yi followed Shi Tianhao and the rest as they flew across space. They travelled across the Celestial Wonders World and arrived at the scene of the battle on the other side of the Celestial Wonders World. Right now, the battle was at its most intense stage.

The three envoys of the Hall of the Dead had stripped off their human form and revealed their Immortal Soul Avatars. They existed as roulettes. As the roulettes spun, they resembled the cycle of life.

At the bottom of the roulettes, there were auras of death that were exuded.

Within the roulettes, streaks of grey light spurted out and they intersected. This caused the entire space to be dyed grey in color.

Amidst the grey space, a bronze bell floated in mid-space and kept on ringing. Streaks and streaks of light spread in all directions, with the bell as their center.

Standing from far away, just by hearing the sound of the bell caused Yang Qing to turn pale. He groaned and felt like fainting.

He only felt that his head was throbbing and his soul was almost going to be out of control and leave his body.

Zhu Yi and the rest did not look good either. They raised their eyes to look at the bronze bell, "It's a magic treasure!"

They were not the targets of the bronze bell, but were already feeling uncomfortable.

At this point, under the grey skies, a white light dragon surrounded by black gas was facing this Soul-Shaking Bell.

The Soul-Shaking Bell was a magic treasure cultivated by the Hall of the Dead. As the bell sounded, it shook the universe, destroying the souls of others. The radius in which it attacked was very vast and it was a magic treasure that was very powerful. After it was cultivated, many powerful cultivators had fallen against it, as they souls were destroyed.

The real power of this treasure was not in its sound, but the radiances that were spread out along with the sounds of the bell.

Anywhere that these radiances passed would be shook, as if they were being cleaned.

But the dragon was ferocious, especially the black gas surrounding it. It was domineering. As it faced the radiances, it did not cave in.

The black gas surrounded the radiances and the claws of the dragon scratched. Streaks of golden-white radiance flashed across, as if they were invincible soldiers, and they cracked void space, destroying the radiances.

In the grey skies, there was the continuous fall of dull radiance that resembled chains which wanted to restrain the white light dragon. They were used to complement the attack of the Soul-Shaking Bell.

The three Immortal Soul Stage Elders attacked together. Along with a merciless magic treasure, they gave the white light dragon immense pressure.

The golden light around its body flashed and the black gas rumbled. As it attacked and defended at the same time, it destroyed the grey light and resisted the radiances of the Soul-Shaking Bell.

Even in the face of many enemies, the white light dragon was still fearless. It unleashed a loud roar and spat out a black iron cone.

This was a magic treasure Shi Zhongtian got from the Void Battleground. Once the iron cone appeared, a ferocious, deadly aura spread.

Boundless black gas spurted out from within and in an instant, the whole place was converted into a sea of black clouds, hiding the white light dragon.

The black gas that revolved around the dragon came from the same source as the iron cone. As both parties combined, the might of the dragon increased.

As the black gas clouds appeared, the already dark skies lost all signs of light. Night seemed to have descended.

Within the black gas clouds, there was a continuous flashing of crimson-red light. It was as if a streak of blood-red lightning had struck the place and threatened to tear apart void space.

The grey light that descended from the skies and the radiances from the Soul-Shaking Bell became denser, as they attacked the black gas clouds.

But the three envoys from the Hall of the Dead were still not happy. That was because they could clearly feel that within the black gas clouds, there was a frightening power that was building up.

As the grey lights intersected, there was a continuous change of light figures, converting into an illusory realm. Within this realm, the images that appeared were filled with colors. Countless events were initiated from there, but it still contained a sense of gloom and evil.

This realm created by the grey lights was extremely huge and sucked the spiritual energy of the Celestial Wonders World rapidly. The boundary of this realm and the boundary of the Celestial Wonders World twisted tremendously. The boundary of this realm started to blur out the boundaries of the Celestial Wonders World as it invaded, as if it wanted to drag the Celestial Wonders World within it.

Shi Tianhao and the rest lifted their heads and looked over. They saw that within the realm, it was as if there were millions of figures that existed. But they were not alive. They were spirits and souls.

The realm was like a beast that had opened its mouth, as it engulfed the black gas clouds.

As Shi Tianhao witnessed this scene, he felt anxious in his heart.

But very soon, the situation witnessed a reversal. The realm started to twist tremendously, and in the next moment, countless streaks of blood-red radiances shot out, expanding in all directions.

This realm was like a broken water bag that had been poked with many holes. The water within the bag flowed out through the holes.

At this point, this realm could not bear it anymore and collapsed.

The white light dragon roared as it burst out of it. The black iron cone floated above its head and streaks and streaks of blood-red lightning shot out. As this lightning was unleashed, a booming roar was heard.

The dragon leaped in front of one of the roulette and the black iron cone was used to resist the Soul-Shaking Bell. The dragon extended its claws and grabbed the roulette!

Amidst the flashing golden light, the roulette was torn apart. In an instant, the roulette was inflicted with countless damages and was due to be destroyed.

But at this point, a rusty, yellow, ancient bronze clock appeared above everyone's heads. In this instant, an immense repressive force attacked the white light dragon.

At this point, the other two envoys of the Hall of the Dead surrounded and attacked the dragon from behind.

The white light dragon roared loudly and unleashed blood-red lightning from its body. The lightning surrounded the dragon body and made it look like a crimson red dragon.

As explosions ensued, the entire place was about to be destroyed. After forcefully releasing himself from the repression of the Soul-Repressing Clock, Shi Zhongtian escaped with the roulette in his hand before the other two envoys of the Hall of Dead could reach him.

A laughter resonated, "I have said before that I will capture one of you and interrogate you for news of Tianhao."

The envoy that was captured revealed his human form. He turned pale and felt humiliated.

The remaining two were also depressed. Although they controlled the Soul-Shaking Bell and the Soul-Repressing Clock, they did not have the confidence as they faced the white light dragon.

From a distance, Yang Qing saw this scene and mumbled, "Powerful. As he faced the attack of three Immortal Soul Stage Elders and two magic treasures, not only did he not lose, he even captured one of them."

Tuntun swallowed her saliva and did not speak. Zhu Yi and Wang Lin nodded their heads, "He is indeed extraordinary."

"I was rushing back home and did not want to waste my time with all of you. But all of you looked down on me." The white light dragon laughed, "Now tell me, how is my grandson?"

Inside the Void Battleground, Shi Zhongtian was trying to flee and did not want to fight. Thus, he did not use the black iron cone. Now, he unleashed everything and revealed his true abilities.

His Immortal Soul Stage Avatar, the white light dragon, was also wounded during the battle just now.

Victory, Killing and Capturing represented different level of difficulties. Under the encirclement of the enemies, he was still able to capture one of them, which was even more difficult. Though he was outnumbered, he stayed true to his promise that he would capture one of the envoys.

That was because he wanted to know what happened to his grandson, son and daughter.

However, the next thing that happened caused him to be shocked. The two envoys of the Hall of the Dead on the opposite looked at each other from afar and they did not speak. Instead, they turned around and escape.

From afar, a few Nascent Soul Stage cultivators approached. In the face of his enemies, Shi Zhongtian learnt how to be cautious. But as he was shocked now, he had to observe the people approaching him carefully.

Oh, one was a pure-blood Taotie. But it was a pity that a Taotie's blood was not nourishing. Otherwise, he could kill it to give his grandson as a tonic.

There were a few human cultivators who were very young. Three of them were in the Nascent Soul Stage while one was in the Aurous Core Stage. For them to have such a cultivation at such an age, they were indeed exceptional. He had lived for so long, but never seen many of them before...

Especially one of them, who was only 13 or 14 years old, but had already formed the Nascent Soul. Not to even mention seeing someone like that, he had never even heard of someone like that…Oh, he looked rather charming. His brows, eyes and nose looked like Shi Zhongtian when he was younger...

Shi Zhongtian opened his eyes wide and Shi Tianhao stared at him with the same expression from afar. Unwittingly, Shi Zhongtian had stripped off his Immortal Soul Avatar and returned to his human form. Only his right hand remained as a claw as he grabbed one of the envoy.

One of them was old and the other was young. But they stared at each other for some time and the entire place was descended into silence.

Chapter 626: Nascent Soul Stopping Immortal Soul

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Although they just met for the first time, Shi Tianhao and Shi Zhongtian could feel the blood relationship between the both of them. They could confirm that they were related.

But because it was their first time meeting, and was one that happened so coincidentally, the two of them were a little lost.

Shi Zhongtian opened his mouth and looked at Shi Tianhao. He asked hesitantly, "Young man, what's your name?"

He seemed a little uncomfortable.

Although he knew that the envoy of the Hall of the Dead had scammed him, he felt that he did not entirely lie to him. There should have been some truth in what he said. For example, Shi Tianyi might really have robbed Shi Tianhao's Natural Supreme Tao Foundation.

While his grandson averted the disaster, Shi Zhongtian was still worried about his detailed condition. He was pressed to know the truth.

That was why he took a risk and captured the envoy of the Hall of the Dead. As he faced the three cultivators and the two magic treasures, Shi Zhongtian was also under a lot of pressure. If they really fought, he might be in danger of dying. After all, these envoys of the Hall of the Dead had powers beyond cultivators in the same realm.

As he captured one of them, Shi Zhongtian was also observing the movement of the other two cultivators. He was prepared for them to retaliate. To repress one Immortal Soul Stage cultivator and engage another two of them, the difficulty was high.

Shi Zhongtian had already thought of all this. If he really couldn't take it, he would find an opportunity to escape. If it comes to the worst, he could just interrogate the envoy he captured and escape. He could just deal with the other two envoys in the future.

But he did not know that the two envoys would just flee after they saw Shi Tianhao and the rest.

Shi Zhongtian focused his attention on Shi Tianhao and the rest. Eventually, his gaze was fixed on Shi Tianhao.

Shi Tianhao looked at the elder in front of him who seemed slovenly but passionate.

He took in a deep breath and muttered, "My name is Shi Tianhao, are you…are you Shi Zhongtian?"

Shi Zhongtian's eyes opened wider. After a while, he laughed loudly, "That's right, that's right, I am Shi Zhongtian!"

After he laughed finished, the expression on the elder's face became more gentle, "Are you my Tianhao?"

After sizing up Shi Tianhao, he raved, "Your body, your realm, your powers are well beyond your father and I when we were your age!"

"Good! Good! Good! My grandson has grown into a powerful man. No one can bully you. Very good!"

Shi Zhongtian squeezed the envoy of the Hall of the Dead that was captured by him and he laughed, "You did lie to me. My Tianhao is standing in front of me, well and alive. Open your eyes and see!"

He quickly retrieved the white jade brocade box that he had and said to Shi Tianhao, "Tianhao, they are spiritual fruits from the Void Battleground. Although you have formed the Nascent Soul, consuming these fruits will still be beneficial for you."

Shi Zhongtian looked at Shi Tianhao in front of him and felt extremely elated.

Because of his newborn grandson, Shi Zhongtian entered the Void Battleground to search for treasures. Eventually, he was trapped within it and could not escape. Although it was a blessing in disguise as he formed the Immortal Soul, to him, going back to his family to see his grandson was something he looked forward to more.

Now that they met, his grandson had already grown up. While he was excited, he was also confused.

As Shi Tianhao looked at his grandfather, he felt a little sour in his heart.

In his memory, he never had the image of his grandfather. He only knew such a person existed. After he was born, Shi Zhongtian disappeared into the Void Battleground.

His parents also disappeared into the Void Battleground as they looked for his grandfather. That was why he was viciously targeted by Shi Tianyi and his mother.

But Shi Tianhao did not lament about his grandfather. The elder in front of him might have formed the Immortal Soul, but he seemed to have undergone a lot of hardships in the Void Battleground. This was all because of Shi Tianhao.

Although he was unsure why Shi Zhongtian fought with the envoys of the Hall of the Dead, he heard his grandfather interrogating one of them who he captured. He realized that Shi Zhongtian did all this for him, even if he might be placed in grave danger/

Shi Tianyi was killed by him, the Yu Clan was destroyed and the Shi Clan relocated. Everything that he needed to settle was settled. What he really desired was family reunification.

As Shi Tianhao saw the elder who was excited and confused, but did not know what to do, Shi Tianhao could not help but laugh.

Shi Zhongtian was taken by surprise. For Shi Tianhao, he was also unsure of how to interact, as he faced this elder in front of him whose name he had only heard of before, but was willing to do anything for him.

The awkwardness they felt at this moment allowed the both of them to get closer to each other.

After seeing Shi Tianhao's smile, Shi Zhongtian seemed to have sense the mood of his grandson. He felt a little amused and he revealed a smile on his face, "Rascal, did I scare you?"

Shi Tianhao laughed, "I am your grandson. Will I get so easily scared?"

Shi Zhongtian laughed loudly, "You are right!"

"Grandfather!" Shi Tianhao's smile vanished slowly and tears appeared in his eyes. The accumulated emotions he felt could finally be vented. Once it started, it could not be stopped.

Shi Zhongtian opened his mouth wide and tears started to appear in his eyes too. "Tianhao…my Tianhao..."

He shook his head violently and looked up, mumbling, "Why are you crying….you can't cry, can't cry…"

As he looked at Shi Tianhao bowing down to him, Shi Zhongtian took a deep breath, but the tears couldn't stop flowing. "No crying, no crying…damn it, no crying! The elder's grandson was alive and had even grown up. The elder was happy!"

Shi Tianhao lifted his head and the eyes of both of them met. They were both laughing and crying. They finally calmed themselves down, but as they saw their desolate looks, they could not help but laugh again.

Shi Tianhao made a clown face at his grandfather, "Grandfather, it seems like you didn't shock me. It's the other way around."

"How is that possible?" Shi Zhongtian stared and seemed to have thought of something. He could not help but laughed again, "I am your Grandfather, am I so easily frightened?"

As they heard these familiar words, they looked at each other and laughed. They seemed to be praising each other, but it was actually their confidence and freedom that were birthed from the same shell.

"Tianhao, these people who are following you, are they your companions or fellow sect members?" Shi Zhongtian might have felt excited, but he quickly calmed his nerves. He turned his attention to the horizon. As he finally met his grandson again, his excitement was drummed up, but this did not dissipate his instinctive cautiousness.

The envoys that retreated were also alert, but whatever happened caught them by surprise.

As Shi Tianhao and Shi Zhongtian reunited, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and the rest did not bother them, but the people from the Hall of the Dead could not be spared.

Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, Tuntun and Yang Qing were about to go and kill the cultivators from the Hall of the Dead. But they seemed to be very ambitious.

As they travelled with Shi Tianhao, Shi Zhongtian noticed them too. He placed a little of his attention on them.

But the end result was that Zhu Yi and the rest still continued to attack the cultivators from the Hall of the Dead.

Zhu Yi and Wang Lin led the attack. Zhu Yi revealed the Supreme Holy Ancient Apparel and the Eternal Night Demonic Stele, two magic treasures in the metaplasia realm. Although he could not unleash the full power of the magic treasures, the cultivators from the Hall of the Dead could not do anything to him in the short-term.

Wang Lin was even more direct. He swayed the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner and released Cao Wei's Immortal Soul Avatar. Although it was restricted to within the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner, Cao Wei's powers and abhijna were all kept intact. He was also still very active in the mind. The Immortal Soul Avatar still contained the powers of an Immortal Soul First Level cultivator.

The two leading envoys of the Hall of the Dead had the help of the Soul-Shaking Bell and the Soul-Repressing Clock and they could even unleash the powers of these two magic treasures to the fullest. This caused Zhu Yi and Cao Wei's Immortal Soul Avatar to be at a disadvantage.

Immortal Soul Stage and the realms below the Immortal Soul Stage, magic treasure and no magic treasure, after all, they were on different levels.

But shortly after this, the cultivators from the Hall of the Dead were trapped.

Tuntun and Yang Qing worked their magic on the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. They did not plan to kill these cultivators, but tried to prevent them from escaping.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders' disciples blocked off the boundary pathway leading to the Void Background, trapping all the cultivators from the Hall of the Dead within the Celestial Wonders World.

"Although he uses a magic treasure, for a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator to resist an Immortal Soul Stage Elder, he must not be simple." Shi Zhongtian wondered, "If it was another person, his magic treasure would have already been taken by the Immortal Soul Stage cultivator"

"The key point is…" Shi Zhongtian's facial muscles seemed to cramp, "Not all Immortal Soul Stage cultivators have their own magic treasures! Which sect is so powerful that their Nascent Soul Stage cultivator can possess a magic treasure?"

"The Great Void Sect? Not right, their cultivation deviates from the Great Void Sect."

Shi Tianhao pursed his lips, "Grandfather, don't worry about the Great Void Sect anymore. Let them die."

With regards to how his grandson defame the first Holy Ground, Shi Zhongtian was not too bothered. He turned his head to look at Shi Tianhao, "Tianhao, are they from the same sect as you? Your Master must be very powerful?"

Shi Tianhao laughed, "You will see him soon. As to how I got him as my Master, it's a long story. I can't even finish it in three days and three nights. When this is over, I will explain it to you."

As he said, Shi Tianhao roared and golden light surged from his head. The Kun Peng Pavilion flew out and crashed upon the cultivators from the Hall of the Dead.

The leading two envoys of the Hall of Dead were unhappy, "The few of you are reliant on magic treasures. Do you think all of you are that powerful?"

"If I don't teach all of you lesson, all of you will think I'm afraid."

The two of them unleashed their powers. The Soul-Shaking Bell and the Soul-Repressing Clock also unleashed their shocking powers. As two Immortal Soul Stage cultivators and two magic treasures were present, it was equivalent to four Immortal Soul Avatars combining together. As they combined, they shook Cao Wei's Immortal Soul, the Eternal Night Demonic Stele and the Kun Peng Pavilion.

Chapter 627: Sub-Hall Hallmaster, King Qinguang

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The two envoys from the Hall of the Dead sounded very fierce because they wanted Shi Tianhao and the rest to retreat, so that they could escape.

Not to even mention Lin Feng, they were already very pressurized as they faced Shi Zhongtian.

While Shi Zhongtian was strong, if they wanted to escape, Shi Zhongtian could do nothing much. The reason why one of them was captured earlier was because they did not flee.

But if Shi Tianhao and the rest assisted and cut off their escape route, and Shi Zhongtian joined the battle again, it would be very difficult for them to escape.

The powers of the Soul-Shaking Bell and the Soul-Repressing Clock were pushed to the extreme and they even revealed their Immortal Soul Avatar. They forced the Kun Peng Pavilion and the Eternal Night Demonic Stele back.

Cao Wei's Immortal Soul Avatar was also forced back. The bunch of cultivators from the Hall of the Dead rushed towards the boundary pathway and wanted to escape to the Void Battleground.

But Shi Zhongtian joined the fight at this moment. As the skies were filled with black gas, golden light flashed and cut void space. Streaks and streaks of blood-red lightning tore it apart and blocked the way of the cultivators from the Hall of the Dead.

"Shi Zhongtian, you are seeking death!" One of the envoy roared. The roulettes created from their Immortal Soul Avatars spun and their powers were summoned to the extreme, converting into a grey world that was filled with deathly aura.

This world spurted out balls and balls of chaotic gases, and these gases covered Shi Zhongtian like haze

The surrounding black gases and golden light around Shi Zhongtian came into contact with the chaotic gases and started to rot slowly. It was as if their lives were taken by the chaotic gases.

These gases were extremely cultivated and they were even capable of killing an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator.

As Wang Lin saw this scene, his eyes brightened. As his gaze flashed, he seemed to be enlightened.

As Shi Zhongtian faced these chaotic gases, he was fearless. As the golden light converted into lightning, the lightning combined with the black gases and the golden color turned red. They became even more ferocious and brutal.

The blood-red lightning struck and destroyed these chaotic gases.

"Tianhao, the movement of spiritual energy in this world is very primitive. It is still undeveloped. Besides all of you, are there any others who discovered this place?" Shi Zhongtian turned his head slightly and asked.

Shi Tianhao replied, "We found it first. My Master name this place the Celestial Wonders World. The Hall of the Dead cultivators and you should be the second batch of people who entered this world."

Shi Zhongtian nodded his head, "Then we must not let them go, otherwise they will leak news of this place to others."

As he said, Shi Zhongtian roared and revealed his black iron cone again. It converted into a flashing blood-red lightning, tearing the skies apart. After that, it stuck the Soul-Repressing Clock.

"Dong". An unclear and deep sound resonated, before a crack developed on the Soul-Repressing Clock.

The Soul-Repressing Clock released a pitiful scream. Mixed emotions were shown. It was the original soul of the Soul-Repressing Clock.

After he struck, Shi Zhongtian did not follow it up. On the other hand, he raised his brows and turned to look at the boundary pathway towards the Void Battleground.

From that boundary pathway, a long blood river was formed!

"Boomboomboom!" The blood red river was rumbling and released a pungent smell. Just by smelling this aura was enough to make one uncomfortable.

Shi Zhongtian focused, "This is the true Blood River Primordial Water."

Legend said that there was an Unholy Blood River that was vast and boundless. Within it, there was the flow of contaminated blood, called the Blood River Primordial Water.

The Blood River Primordial Water was one of the six Primordial Waters. It was the dirtiest water in the water. Even the most powerful and spiritual magic item would lose its powers after it was stained by a little of this water.

If a cultivator cultivated the Blood River Primordial Water, he would have a huge advantage when he fought a cultivator in the same realm.

This blood river that appeared was undoubtedly cultivated by an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator.

Within this blood river, a light figure floated. A youth rose from it and looked at Shi Zhongtian. After that, he turned his attention to Shi Tianhao and the rest.

"Capturing Shi Zhongtian alive was for the purpose of dealing with Shi Tianhao and the Celestial Sect of Wonders. We have been keeping a low-profile previously because we did not want to alarm the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders." The youth said, "But now that everything has been exposed, we shall no longer be indecisive."

After saying, the youth clasped his palms and the blood river rose to form a scroll. The image in the scroll also depicted a blood river. As the scroll shone a dark light, the blood river in the image of the scroll became real. Pungent and dirty blood flowed out from it and gathered inside the blood river on the outside.

The blood river underneath the youth became stronger and stronger. As its might filled the place, the entire Celestial Wonders World was converted into blood-red color.

The powers of the youth were unleashed and a chaos hole was formed above his head. Hazy, chaotic gases spurted from within, which was more terrifying than that of the envoys of the Hall of the Dead. Along with the blood river, the powers of the youth were immense.

Although this youth was only in the realm of the Immortal Soul First Level, his powers were extraordinary. Even Shi Zhongtian was becoming more serious.

The two envoys from the Hall of the Dead saw this scene and were first surprised. But after this surprise, they were also fearful. They bowed respectfully, "Greetings to King Qinguang"

"King Qinguang?" Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao and Yang Qing looked at one another, "He is the hallmaster of one of the halls in the Hall of the Dead?"

When Lin Feng received Wang Lin from within the Void Battleground, he threw one of the envoys from the Hall of the Dead into the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner.

After asking this guy, everyone learnt that the Hallmaster, leader of the Hall of the Dead, was the most powerful. Following that, the various hallmasters of the sub-halls were under him. They were the the Ten Kings of Hell. Besides this, the officials in the senior management were all envoys of the Hall of the Dead.

The Ten Kings of Hell were King Qinguang, King Songdi, King Wuguan, King Yanluo, King Biancheng, King Qinshan, King Dushi, King Pingdeng and King Zhuanlun.

There were varying cultivations among them. Their realms were not entirely the same, but they were all powerful Immortal Soul Stage Elders.

The person who controlled the blood river now was King Qinguang. He was a rising talent in the Hall of the Dead and specialize in the spells of the Emperor of the Dead. He cultivated the Unholy Blood River. Although he was only in the Immortal Soul First Level, his powers were sufficient to overshadow many others who were in the same realm.

This time, the plan to capture Shi Tianhao's parents and Shi Zhongtian was helmed by him.

He was very brazen. As his plan failed, he wanted to change to a direct offense.

King Qinguang looked at Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao, Yang Qing and Tuntun. "Did the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders entrust his physical spell body to all of you again?"

He turned serious but was not fearful. Shi Tianhao and the rest knew that he was confident because of the Blood River Primordial Water.

For all matter in the Heavens and Earth, they could be useful in certain circumstances, but useless in others.

The Blood River Primordial Water was used to contaminate powers and spiritual energy. Even if a person's physical spell body was powerful, it was still not his actual body. As it faced the Blood River Primordial Water, it could still be contaminated. It might even collapsed and the Blood River Primordial Water could even take control over the physical spell body.

King Qinguang did something like this before. But Lin Feng was very powerful. His physical spell body could repress an Immortal Soul Second Level cultivator. It were so powerful until it was ridiculous.

That was why the scroll, which was a powerful magic treasure of his, gave him more confidence.

The blood river flowed and converted into a sea of blood. As it engulfed the skies, it surged towards everyone. Very soon, it contaminated the spiritual energy within the Celestial Wonders World. Whatever that came into contact with it would be contaminated.

"Guys, I have to make a move. Otherwise, his Blood River Primordial Water will contaminate the entire Celestial Wonders World."

At this point, a deep voice sounded. Following this sound, a man in white appeared. His hair was crimson-red in color but his brows were snow-white in color.

In void space behind him, a huge mountain peak appeared subtly.

Amidst the snow mountain, the scene of crimson flames raging could be observed slightly. At the top of the mountain, hot air was raging and smoke rose. Flames and volcanic fluid spurted out from within.

As he saw this man in white, the expression of King Qinguang changed, "Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain? The Heaven Lake Sect was destroyed because of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and now you are willing to become the lackey of the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders? It's a pity that the Heaven Lake Sect cultivated you until the Mahayana realm."

This man in white was the original soul of the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain, the Dual Polarity Peak.

After hearing the words of King Qinguang, Dual Polarity Peak sighed, "My fortune is determined. Since I have made a decision, if I want to succeed, I must have the courage to accept my failure."

"The leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is generous. I am willing to do his bidding."

As he said till here, the Dual Polarity Peak was not willing to explain further. Many things were just needed to be known by Lin Feng and himself. There was no need to publicize them.

He did not say anything further. He clasped his hands together and the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain came crashing upon King Qinguang and the Unholy Blood River.

As what he said, he had no choice but to strike. Otherwise, even if Shi Tianhao and Shi Zhongtian were not afraid of King Qinguang, the huge battle that was coming would contaminate the Celestial Wonders World.

Lin Feng had already regarded this place as his private property, how could he let others damage it?

If it was another hallmaster who was here or if King Qinguang did not cultivate the Blood River Primordial Water, the Dual Polarity Peak might not have intervened and gave the opportunity for Lin Feng's disciples to train themselves.

But to prevent the Celestial Wonders World from being contaminated by the Blood River Primordial Water, the Dual Polarity Peak decided to make a move.

The expression of King Qinguang turned ghastly. Even while the Blood River Primordial Water could stain a magic treasure, the Dual Polarity Peak was a magic treasure in the Mahayana realm. It was even stronger than Lin Feng's physical spell body.

As he thought till here, King Qinguang did not dare to hesitate. As the blood river was summoned, the Hall of the Dead cultivators were dragged within and they rushed towards the boundary pathway in the sky, hoping to return to the Void Battleground.

"The aura of this Middle World is very primitive. I don't think anyone has ever step foot into here before. The Celestial Sect of Wonders wants to claim this place." King Qinguang thought. "I don't have to challenge them here. Once I leak this news, the rest of the great powers will fight for this place. When that happens, I will have my chance."

Chapter 628: Cornering the Enemy

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

King Qinguang had a plan, but the Dual Polarity Peak was unwilling to let him complete it. As the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain retreated, it blocked the boundary pathway towards the Void Battleground.

As the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain shook, it converted to land it was on into a world where ice and fire intersected.

Amidst the ice, flames surged. This caused the entire area to be converted into a sea of fire. The burning flames torched the Blood River Primordial Water.

Streaks and streaks of black gases filled the place, but the pungent smell it brought about disappeared. In the air, only a burnt smell was left over.

There were flames and ice that were contaminated by the blood river and lost their spirituality. Some of them were even controlled by the Blood River Primordial Fire and attacked the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain.

But the momentum was still strong on one side. The blood river was completely razed and its scale diminished.

King Qinguang sighed and controlled the blood river to change its course. It attacked Shi Tianhao and the rest. Since it could not defeat the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain, it had to find another opening.

The Dual Polarity Peak stood on the top of the mountain and observed the movements of King Qinguang carefully. As he saw this situation, he unleashed a talisman, which spurted out balls and balls of Purple Clouds in the sky. These Purple Clouds converted into a small world and engulfed King Qinguang alongside the Unholy Blood River.

King Qinguang's expression turned black, as he felt that his connection with the outside world was cut as he was trapped in the Purple Clouds small world.

Right now, he could not even communicate with others using his mana.

King Qinguang used his own powers and the Blood River Primordial Water to attack the Purple Clouds small world, but it was futile. The mana that created this Purple Clouds small world seemed ordinary, but it was actually very miraculous. As the mana was summoned, it formed a special formation pattern. Even the Blood River Primordial Water could do nothing to it.

As the formation pattern moved, layers and layers of space overlapped, causing the Blood River Primordial Water to be separated outside and could not come into contact with the small world.

This was a seal created from the combination of the Celestial Small World and the Fences of the Heavens.

If it was a physical spell body, King Qinguang might still be able to use the Blood River Primordial Water. But now, these two spells and abhijnas were used to seal the Blood River Primordial Water off, which were very useful in curbing it.

Lin Feng was no fortune-teller and could not predict that the enemy would have the Blood River Primordial Water. But he analyzed every possible situation and prepared sufficiently well. This left King Qinguang at a loss of what to do.

"The leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is indeed as powerful as everyone claims him to be." King Qinguang was a little bitter.

In reality, he was not afraid of being repressed, even if it's Lin Feng's spells. Even if this form of repression was even able to hold down an Immortal Soul Second Level Elder.

But if King Qinguang used the Unholy Blood River to overcome the seal, with enough time and patience, he might be able to escape.

However, that would take a very long time. Within this time span, if he was handed over to Lin Feng, he would have no chance of escaping.

King Qinguang sighed and started to use the Blood River Primordial Water to escape the repression of Lin Feng's spells. As he tried, he prayed in his heart that he would not be sent to Lin Feng.

The Celestial Small World shifted void space and the outer surface of it kept on shrinking. Eventually, it converted into Purple Clouds the size of a human fist.

The Purple Clouds landed in the palm of the Dual Polarity Peak. He nodded at Zhu Yi, "According to Master's orders, I am supposed to be guarding the boundary pathway over here. One of you shall send this Hall of the Dead cultivator back to Mount Yujing."

Yang Qing and the rest looked at one another. Wang Lin said, "Let me do it."

The Dual Polarity Peak opened his palms and the Purple Clouds floated into Wang Lin's hands. Zhu Yi looked at him, "Take care."

Wang Lin nodded his head, "Don't be worried, I will watch out for myself."

The Hall of the Dead cultivator that killed his relatives and caused him to lose his original flesh was still untraceable. Since this King Qinguang was the hallmaster in the Hall of the Dead, Wang Lin hoped to find out something from him.

Shi Zhongtian laughed, "Bring him along too."

As he said, he passed the Hall of the Dead cultivator that he captured to Wang Lin.

The Dual Polarity Peak passed the seal of the Celestial Small World to Wang Lin and nodded his head at everyone. He did not say anything else and disappeared, as he combined with the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain.

The huge mountain floated in space and blocked the boundary pathway of the Void Battleground. The chill air from it spread and froze the spatial crack in the boundary. From the looks of it, the boundary pathway had disappeared.

Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao, Wang Lin, Tuntun and the rest bowed towards the majestic mountain in the sky.

The mountain was in the Mahayana realm and had powers equivalent to an Immortal Soul Second Level cultivator. But that was not the reason why they respected it.

It was because although the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain came from the Heaven Lake Sect, now that it was under the Celestial Sect of Wonders, it continued to do its best. Just before, the mountain protected them and settled the powerful opponent. That was why everyone was sincerely grateful towards it.

Shi Zhongtian looked at the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain and lamented, "It is indeed the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain from the Heaven Lake Sect. I heard from King Qinguang that the Heaven Lake Sect is destroyed?"

"The Heaven Lake Sect is scheming. On a couple of occasions, they plotted against the Celestial Sect of Wonders." Shi Tianhao looked at the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain and explained, "Master seemed to have an agreement with the Dual Polarity Peak elder. That is why the Dual Polarity Peak elder is willing to be cultivated by Master and has become the magic treasure of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. But I am unsure of anything detailed."

Shi Zhongtian nodded his head and revealed a curious look, "Tianhao, tell me what your Master is like."

The Heaven Lake Sect was a sect that was much more prosperous than the Shi Clan. The Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain was a magic treasure in the Mahayana realm and its powers were equivalent to an Immortal Soul Third Level cultivator.

"Don't be so anxious, Grandfather. This is very long." Shi Tianhao laughed while telling everything to Shi Zhongtian.

Shi Zhongtian was engrossed as he listened. As Shi Tianhao spoke, his emotions also experienced countless changes.

After hearing that because he went missing, his son and daughter-in-law had to put his grandson into the foster care of others and enter the Void Battleground to find him, causing them to go missing too and his grandson to meet with a disaster, Shi Zhongtian was upset and enraged.

But as he learnt that Shi Tianhao accepted Lin Feng as his Master and continued to develop as a person, he revealed a comforted look on his face.

After hearing that his son and daughter-in-law escaped from the Void Battleground, but were forced back by the Shi Clan and Yu Clan, Shi Zhongtian was furious. He was tempted to barge into Xiling City and teach them a lesson.

When Shi Tianhao retreated, Lin Feng and Xiao Yan took care of the Yu Clan. Even Yu Xintao was restrained in the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner. As he heard till here, Shi Zhongtian cheered.

At last, as he learnt of how Shi Tianhao killed Shi Tianyi and obtained the Holy Light of Creation that belonged to him, Shi Zhongtian was even happier. He laughed, "Good! That's good. Whoever owes a debt must repay it. For you to exact revenge personally, there's nothing better than that!

After that, Shi Tianhao continued to describe the battle between Lin Feng and Xin Longsheng along with Kuang Heng and the Xuan Lin Holy Man. After hearing it, Shi Zhongtian was impressed, "Tianhao, your Master is indeed very powerful. He deserves my respect!"

"In the Void Battleground, I was stranded at a place for hundreds of years without escaping. I could not interact with others too. Otherwise, if I met someone who came in, I will have learnt about all these things."

After laughing, Shi Zhongtian looked dull again, "While we have reunited again, your father and your mother are still stranded in there."

Shi Tianhao's laugh also vanished. He looked in the direction of the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain. The boundary pathway that was blocked off led to the Void Battleground, where his parents were.

"Father, Mother..." Shi Tianhao looked down.

As he reunited with his Grandfather, he was naturally elated. But this made him missed his parents even more.

Shi Zhongtian said, "After I meet your Master, I will enter the Void Battleground to find your parents again."

As he saw Shi Tianhao trying to convince him otherwise, he laughed, "Don't worry, I am now in the Immortal Soul Stage. If I am prudent, I won't be stranded again."

Shi Tianhao laughed awkwardly. He had just reunited with his grandfather. Naturally, he did not wish for him to go missing again.

Shi Zhongtian was also unwilling to be separated from his grandson again.

While he said it very easily, there were all sorts of situation in the Void Battleground. To those in the Nascent Soul Stage and the Aurous Core Stage, it was indeed a danger area. Even an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator was unsafe in there.

But his son and daughter-in-law were both stranded inside. He was very worried and had to make this move.

"Grandfather, because of me, the Hall of the Dead cultivators tried to capture you. I believe they will be targeting my parents too." Shi Tianhao said seriously, "Since the hallmasters of the Hall of the Dead are called the Ten Kings of Hell, there must be others besides King Qinguang."

Shi Zhongtian nodded his head. He was fearless, but that did not mean that he was arrogant and reckless. His fearlessness came from his understanding of his enemies. Even if his enemies were powerful, he was still fearless.

If the envoys of the Hall of the Dead fought him alone, they were not his match. King Qinguang could fight him, but who would win was unknown.

While King Qinguang was powerful, he was only a rising talent of the Hall of the Dead. There were other Immortal Soul Second Level cultivators among the Ten Kings of Hell.

Even if he did not meet all ten of them, bumping into a few of them was enough to give Shi Zhongtian pressure.

Chapter 629: A Shriveling World

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Both Shi Tianhao and Shi Zhongtian were worried for Shi Ziling and his wife, who were Shi Tianhao's parents. But since things had involved the Hall of the Dead, they had to deal with things prudently.

According to known intelligence, the Hall of the Dead had always been hiding in a Middle World. The boundary pathway between this Middle World and the outside world was connected by the Void Battleground.

Ever since the Hall of the Dead was formed, they had always been trading inside the Void Battleground. Although the Void Battleground was unpredictable and chaotic, the Hall of the Dead was the most familiar with the Void Battleground among all the great powers in the Grand Celestial World.

Since they were keeping tabs on them, Shi Tianhao and Shi Zhongtian had no choice but to be careful as they entered the Void Battleground.

The both of them eventually decided to discuss with Lin Feng before making their decision.

The Dual Polarity Peak guarded the boundary pathway towards the Void Battleground, whereas the Virtuous Zen Master guarded the boundary pathway connected to the Divine Lands. After that, Shi Tianhao, Zhu Yi and the rest continued to explore the Celestial Wonders World.

At the same time, Shi Tianhao continued to find the Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness inside this Middle World.

Before Shi Zhongtian exited the Void Battleground, he was already hurt. As he fought the Hall of the Dead envoys, he became more wounded.

But since he had already formed the Immortal Soul, when he tried to heal himself, he could soon absorb the spiritual energy around him and recover to his peak state.

Since he just reunited with his grandson, Shi Zhongtian could not bear to leave him. He decided to move with Shi Tianhao and the rest.

Shi Zhongtian sensed the spiritual energy movement in the Celestial Wonders World, and realized that Shi Tianhao and the rest did not discover something.

"The spiritual energy of this world seems to be gathering somewhere."

Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao, Yang Qing and Tuntun heard this and they were stunned. After receiving Shi Zhongtian's warning, they realized it too.

They landed within a mountainous region. The spiritual energy at this region was very nourishing, far beyond any other regions. The bunch of them found a cave within this mountainous region. After they entered the cave, they realized that it was a giant cave that was like a palace.

Inside the cave, there was a stalactite crystal mine.

Spiritual water on the top of the stalactite rocks accumulated. After a period of accumulation, the spiritual energy gathered to form stalactite crystals, which were very valuable.

During the first Sect-Opening Ceremony, the Great Zhou Empire sent over congratulatory gifts, which contained these stalactite crystals that weighed over a thousand catties.

But now what was in front of Zhu Yi and the rest was an entire line of stalactite crystal mines. It contained an unknown amount of the crystal mines.

Shi Tianhao crushed a little of it and threw it into the air. After that, he opened his mouth and caught it. He started to chew it and sensed the spiritual energy within. He turned his head around, "The quality is very high."

Yang Qing and Zhu Yi were both speechless. Shi Zhongtian laughed, "Your taste is pretty good."

Tuntun was even more unceremonious. She consumed a large amount of the stalactite crystals. As she ate them, she laughed. She was extremely pleased.

Zhu Yi pulled her away and felt the change in spiritual energy. His expression changed, the spiritual energy of these stalactite crystals is slowly dissipating."

Shi Zhongtian retracted his smile and walked in front of the mine. He knocked slightly and closed his eyes while feeling it. After a while, he nodded his head, "That is the case. Right now, the accumulation of the spiritual energy is slower than the loss of spiritual energy. That is why the mine is in a growth state.

"But I can clearly feel that the loss of spiritual energy is happening very slowly. In a few years, the change would be small. But a hundred years later, the gap will be very obvious.

"After more time, say a thousand years, the rate of loss of spiritual energy might even supersede the accumulation of spiritual energy. When that happens, this mine will slowly shrivel and even the entire belt of mines may even disappear."

Shi Zhongtian's expression became serious. For an ordinary person, a hundred years was his entire life. But for a cultivator in the Aurous Core Stage, a hundred years was not that long.

For a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, even a thousand years was just a part of his life. For an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator, some of them already spent a thousand years every time they retreated.

Tuntun pursed her lips and muttered, "Then let's use these mines within a hundred years.

Zhu Yi shook his head and his brows were raised, "I believe it's because these mines are huge, that's why they are able to suppress the loss of spiritual energy. If we mine huge amounts of the stalactite crystals, we might cause the loss of spiritual energy to speed up. When that happens, before a thousand years are reached, the balance here will have collapsed. Then the stalactite crystals will all be wasted."

Tuntun shouted, "It's still better than leaving them to rot!"

Yang Qing pondered and said, "Let's look at the condition of other places. I remember the place where the Water Marrow Crystal Mine was was fine."

"No, it's not." Shi Tianhao and Zhu Yi shook their heads." When we were there, I felt that something was not right about it. I didn't think of any reason then, but as I think about it, I believe it's the same as here."

Zhu Yi looked at Shi Zhongtian, "Previously, Elder Shi mentioned about the spiritual energy of this world. They seemed to gather in a single area. I just thought of this point and discovered the problem."

"Now it seems like the loss of spiritual energy of this mine is related to the movement of spiritual energy in the Celestial Wonders World."

Shi Tianhao said, "Let's take a look at other places."

The spiritual energy in the Celestial Wonders World was not very nourishing. But many of these places had gathered huge amounts of spiritual energy and also nurtured many precious treasures.

Shi Tianhao and the rest explored the entire world, and they even returned to the Water Marrow Spiritual Mine to re-check the place. As expected, every mine that they saw had the same problem.

The region where spiritual herbs and medicine grew also had the same problem. In the short-term, there was enough spiritual energy to boost the growth of the spiritual herbs. But as time passed, the place became more barren. In the end, insufficient spiritual energy was around to aid the growth of the spiritual herbs.

The situation in this region was better than at the mines. Spiritual herbs and medicine could be grafted to other places. But if the resources in the mine were shifted to somewhere else, away from the original environment, they would be unable to birth more resources. But under normal conditions, if mining was done at suitable rates, these resources could be renewed.

Shi Tianhao, Zhu Yi and Yang Qing looked at one another and saw that they were all very serious.

Regardless whether it was Lin Feng or the few of them, they wished to claim this entire Celestial Wonders World. They wanted to make it as a foundation for the future development of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Under such a circumstance, the disciples from the Celestial Sect of Wonders naturally wished for it to develop in the future and become the foundation of the sect. They did not want it to be the same way as in the Cloud Forest World.

If they wanted it to be that way, then it was simple. They could just mine all the resources and leave. Even if they did not have the abilities to do so, they could leave it to the elders of the sect, namely Lin Feng, the Dual Polarity Peak, Virtuous Zen Master and even Shi Zhongtian to mine all the resources.

If they wanted to develop the world, whatever that was happening now was indeed worrying. If the situation of the loss of spiritual energy of the mines was not reversed, then they would not dare to mine for resources. Otherwise, the mines would collapse and eventually shrivel.

Zhu Yi said in a deep voice, "Since the spiritual energy is gathering in one particular region, that must be where the root of the problem is. We shall find that place and solve the problem."

Shi Zhongtian tried to figure out the direction of the flow of the spiritual energy. He said, "I can conjure a spell and bring all of you along."

"Thank you Elder." Zhu Yi and Yang Qing expressed their gratitude towards him. Shi Tianhao looked at him, "You are injured. It's best not to do so."

Shi Zhongtian laughed, "Silly kid, I fought my way out of the Void Battleground. I am fine."

As he said, he conjured a spell. He shouted, "The few of you, protect yourselves and focus your minds."

As a white light shone, everyone was engulfed. As a boom resonated, the white light flashed and disappeared.

Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao, Yang Qing and Tuntun were aware of the external changes. They watched as the light flowed and changed, making it unpredictable.

Shi Zhongtian conjured a spell not to transcend void space, but to infuse everyone within the momentum of the flow of the spiritual energy in the Celestial Wonders World.

It was as if they converted into a small boat amidst a long river. As they floated on the river, following the current, they were guided to the end by the river.

This was only something an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator could do. Shi Zhongtian was injured, thus he did not fully unleash his powers. That was why he needed to be careful as he conjured the spell, so as to prevent being ostracized by spiritual energy in the Celestial Wonders World.

Everyone followed the flow of spiritual energy and landed on the ground again. But it was an empty space that seemed ordinary. It was unbelievable that this place was the point where all the spiritual energy gathered.

The spiritual energy in this place was not nourishing. If Shi Zhongtian did not bring all of them here, even if Shi Tianhao and the rest passed by this place, they would not have realized anything was amiss.

After Shi Zhongtian landed, he stomped his foot and a huge crack appeared on the ground. As the crack developed all the way down, a huge cracked valley seemed to have formed.

Zhu Yi and the few of them looked down. They saw the deep ends of the cracked valley but they could not see the end of it. There was no flow of spiritual energy, as if the entire place was dead.

Shi Zhongtian led them as they flew down all the way without stopping.

After a brief moment, Yang Qing lifted his head and looked up. He saw that the opening of the valley only revealed a thin line of light.

And at this point, everyone felt a suction power. The more they descended, the stronger the suction power.

They heard the flowing sound of water. They continued to descend and very soon, they saw a huge pond. It was dark and did not reflect any light.

Even the streak of light from above that came into contact with the pond was engulfed.

Zhu Yi raised his brows and summoned the Forever-Bright Tathagata Mantra. The Forever-Bright Light was shone onto the pond, but was immediately engulfed. No light could pass through the water pond.

Chapter 630: No Longer Just a Lone Soldier

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao and the rest explored the Celestial Wonders World. Whereas Wang Lin sent King Qinguang and the Hall of the Dead cultivators back to Mount Yujing.

On Mount Yujing, Lin Feng was still protecting Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan stabilized the five Primordial Fires and perfected his powers. It was a long process.

Wang Lin returned to the mountain and passed the ball of Purple Clouds, which was the Celestial Small World, to Lin Feng.

As Lin Feng saw this, he could not help but laugh, "The restrictions on the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner are slowly becoming insufficient."

"Very well, Wang Lin, I shall guide you to cultivate more restrictions for the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner."

Wang Lin nodded his head. While he obtained the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner, he could not cultivate it as he was not in the Immortal Soul Stage. He could only count on the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner to cultivate on its own.

But if a magic treasure in the gestation realm did not have an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator to cultivate it, the absorption of spiritual energy would be very slow and the efficiency would be low.

Lin Feng gave the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner to Wang Lin, so he wouldn't cultivate it himself. He would at most guide from one side.

Now that the restrictions of the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner had dwindled, the number of Immortal Soul Stage cultivators that could be trapped was limited. That was why Lin Feng was helping Wang Lin to add more restrictions.

On one hand, this increased the powers of the magic treasure. On another hand, Wang Lin would learn.

Since Wang Lin was very intelligent, he understood the core concept of it very quickly. Whatever he could not understand was because of his limited cultivation.

The more restrictions that were cultivated into the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner, the more Immortal Soul Stage Elders could be trapped within the banner.

After Lin Feng added a few more restrictions, the banner swayed and King Qinguan and three other Hall of the Dead cultivators in the Immortal Soul Stage were trapped within the banner.

King Qinguang wanted to resist and kept on summoning the scroll of the Blood River, using the Blood River Primordial Water to resist the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner.

Lin Feng laughed and slapped across, causing the Unholy Blood River to be compressed. King Qinguang let out a distressed roar and was suppressed by the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner.

After interrogating him, Lin Feng laughed, "Firstly, you found trouble with my third disciple. Now you want to attack my second youngest disciple. I did not find trouble with all of you, but all of you dare to find trouble with me?"

The look of King Qinguang was very bitter.

He did not expect to meet Shi Tianhao in the Celestial Wonders World as he tried to capture Shi Zhongtian.

It was fine if he met them. Since he had the scroll of the Blood River and he controlled the Unholy Blood River, even if Shi Tianhao and the rest possessed Lin Feng's physical spell body, he still had the chance to escape.

Since the Celestial Sect of Wonders wanted to unearth the Celestial Wonders World and Lin Feng could not be there, he sent Dual Polarity Peak over and even passed the Dual Polarity his abhijna.

His abhijna was not harmful, but was specially used for suppressing and sealing enemies. This caused King Qinguang to be trapped

After capturing the Hall of the Dead cultivators, especially King Qinguang, Lin Feng interrogated them carefully and learnt many secrets of the Hall of the Dead.

The space in the Void Battleground was very confusing. As a cultivator entered, he could not determine his exact location. If he wanted to escape the Void Battleground, he could not confirm his exact location either.

The camp at which the Hall of the Dead was located did not have any contact with the Greater World. It was only connected to the Void Battleground. But the entrance and exit point was also unclear.

Even for King Qinguang and the Immortal Soul Stage cultivators, if they wanted to enter and leave that Middle World, they could not really determine their location. They had to depend on the hallmasters to use talismans to guide them.

But the talismans they used were very weird. They needed them to work in two different directions. Even Lin Feng could not locate and proceed to that Middle World as he obtained the talismans from them.

"The Hall of the Dead is very cautious. In this way, it is similar to Mount Yujing. But Mount Yujing can shift at will and move to anywhere in the world." Lin Feng thought in his heart. "But it is able to hide itself well. Even I find it hard to locate it."

But they were very cautious because the Hall of the Dead invited a lot of hate. If they did not hide, they would have been discovered and eliminated already.

"What is the point of collecting the souls of extraordinary people?" Lin Feng asked. Since King Qinguang was restrained, he had no choice but to answer honestly, "This is an order and has something to do with cultivation. But I am unsure of anything detailed."

Lin Feng nodded his head slightly. From the Hall of the Dead envoy that had been captured in the Void Battleground earlier, Lin Feng had already found out that even though the Hall of the Dead was very secretive, they were not purely just a sect. Besides nurturing their own cultivators, they also lure powerful cultivators from elsewhere to join.

The Emperor of the Dead Mantra was special because it could be cultivated by anyone regardless of their cultivation. One could cultivate the foundation of it when he was young before venturing further as he grew older. Or he could cultivate other types of mantra before switching to the Emperor of the Dead Mantra.

After switching to the Emperor of the Dead Mantra, one could still preserve 70-80% of the essence of his previous mantra.

The reason was because many things involved the soul, but this Emperor of the Dead Mantra was not just a pure soul-cultivating mantra like the Exploration of the Great Void Thinking or the Spells of the Soul of the Royal House of the Northern Tribes.

The leader of the Hall of the Dead sought the souls of those who were extraordinary because of his own cultivation.

"Master, the abhijnas cultivated from the Emperor of the Dead Mantra are interesting." Wang Lin said, "They have destructive gases, but these destructive gases are beyond ordinary"

Lin Feng laughed while tapping the banner pole of the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner. King Qinguang answered honestly, "That is the chaotic gas of destruction. After cultivating the destructive gas with the mantra and returning it to the primitive, chaotic state, ceasing the cultivation right before everything becomes chaos followed by cultivating a second time with a different manual, the chaotic gas of destruction can be formed."

"Because the process that converts this gas to chaos is ceased right before it ends, it cannot be reversed easily. It then becomes stronger than an average destructive gas."

Wang Lin was enlightened and nodded his head, "It is indeed special."

Lin Feng passed the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner to him and laughed, "Go and figure it out after you bring it back."

Wang Lin received the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner and did not rush to enquire about cultivation-related matters. Firstly, he asked where the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator that desecrated his hometown went to

"I know about this. But that person is not under me. He is an external member of the Hall of the Dead. He is not from the core group of disciples. As to where he is, I am unsure." King Qinguang answered honestly. "I only know that he is under King Wuguan."

Wang Lin's gaze turned cold, "King Wuguan..."

Lin Feng said, "Don't be anxious. This is only the start between the Hall of the Dead and the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

"Yes, Master." Wang Lin nodded his head and did not continue.

King Qinguang sighed. Lin Feng's words signified that he was going to settle the Hall of the Dead.

As for the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Lin Feng, the Hall of the Dead never once underestimate them. Especially since the battle at Xiling City, they would not look down on them.

But ever since then, what everyone knew about the Celestial Sect of Wonders was that Lin Feng was invincible and that his disciples were talented beyond measure. But the foundation of the sect was still very shallow. After all, the sect had only been established for a short period of time thus far.

But King Qinguang did not have such a thought now. The Dual Polarity Peak had pledged allegiance to Lin Feng. Shi Zhongtian escaped from the Void Battleground. In the future, he could return to the Shi Clan, or he could commit to Mount Yujing.

The powers of the senior management of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were expanding. Previously, everything was done by Lin Feng personally. But now, he did not need to do so.

Right now, Lin Feng was not just a lone soldier and had to do everything on his own.

As they claimed the Celestial Wonders World, the presence of the Dual Polarity Peak, Virtuous Zen Master and Shi Zhongtian were enough to deter other great powers from coming close to the world.

Shi Tianhao, Zhu Yi and the rest were maturing quickly, and they formed the middle level management of the sect. With the rate at which they developed, they were only going to become more frightening.

The disciples at the bottom might not be successful yet, but as time passed, the resources provided by the Celestial Wonders World would help those at the bottom to progress quickly.

Previously in the Void Battleground, Lin Feng had already blacklisted the Hall of the Dead. He was just moving them up the list now.

But Lin Feng did not really have the urge to make a move personally. The reason was simple. For them to incur the wrath of Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao, who were both destined individuals, they were looking for trouble.

They were just looking for more trouble for themselves. Right now, they had already delivered a hallmaster and three envoys to the Celestial Sect of Wonders. In the future, there were bound to be more of them.

Lin Feng's main consideration now was how to channel the resources of the Celestial Wonders World into the driving force of the development of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. This was a very good opportunity and suitable for building up the foundation of his sect.

As he thought of it, Lin Feng had an idea.

Right now, in the Celestial Wonders World, Shi Tianhao and the rest were in front of the pond in the deep valley. Shi Tianhao's brows flashed with radiance and a huge, dirt-yellow light figure appeared. It was Lin Feng's Heaven-Bearing Emperor which appeared.

The Heaven-Bearing Emperor shrank and landed beside Shi Tianhao and the rest.

As Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao and the rest became more powerful, Lin Feng slowly passed them his physical spell bodies. After all, they still needed guidance.

Because they were exploring the Celestial Wonders World, which was an important mission, that was why he allowed the Heaven-Bearing Emperor to follow along. But during the battle earlier, the Heaven-Bearing Emperor was not unleashed.

As they faced the black pond now, Lin Feng felt the difference within. That was why he summoned the Heaven-Bearing Emperor.

After meeting Shi Zhongtian briefly, the Heaven-Bearing Emperor stood above the black pond. He felt the transformations within. After a few moments, he said, "There is something underneath the pond."

As he said, he dragged Shi Tianhao and the rest with his powers and dived into the pond with them.

As they entered, Lin Feng could feel the vast chill coursing through his veins. The black pond engulfed all light. It contained an extreme chill and extreme Yin, while nurturing the power concepts of Pure Yin, extreme chill and darkness. They even reached a profound stage.

That feeling was like combining the powers of the Mingdu remains, Xuanming Primordial Water and the Netherworld Purple Crystal.

The pond was not sticky and the water did not contain any impurities. It was just black and did not reflect any light.

Lin Feng and Shi Zhongtian dived all the way down, and they soon realized something was amiss. Inside this pond, there was the presence of life. And it was even a pretty strong presence of life.

Chapter 631: Unexpected Reward

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The dark pond engulfed all light. With the powers of the Heaven-Bearing Emperor and Shi Zhongtian, they could barely see a limited area in front of them in the water. But the distance was very short.

But the pond did not seem to have a bottom. As the two of them dived, they could not reach the depths of it.

The space inside the pond was also very weird. As Lin Feng dived down, it was as if he was walking in a pitch-black universe. Furthermore, it was like a universe void of stars.

"This place is indeed a very suitable environment for the growth of life." Lin Feng thought, "Such a lonely darkness is beneficial to growth and development. But with the extremely chilly and Yin environment, as it goes to the extreme, it may develop life that was extremely hot and filled with Yang."

"Between the embryo and the mother, a perfect balance of Yin and Yang is achieved."

During the process of diving, Lin Feng and Shi Zhongtian quickly discovered that this black pond had the strong presence of life.

In the Celestial Wonders World, there were no inhabitants. The herbs and trees were also very primitive. There were no intelligent races either. Although there were many spiritual herbs and medicine, they were rather tender. They had not formed into freakish entities or become demons.

This had something to do with the flow of spiritual energy in this world. The spiritual energy had all gathered within this black pond.

Lin Feng used his supernatural awareness to scan and he felt this presence of life in the pond. Regardless of the development of intelligence or the strength of life aura, the life that bred here was far superior than anything outside the pond and within the Celestial Wonders World.

Very soon, Lin Feng and Shi Zhongtian saw an inhabitant here.

It came from a species of fish that were smaller in size. It was pitch-black in color and seemed like a carp, but had a pair of golden eyes.

The golden light emanated from the eyes of the fish, which could transcend the water of the pond and was not engulfed by the darkness.

Lin Feng tried to figure out the golden light and found out that it contained dense spiritual energy. It had a strong Yang aura, just like the Sun. But the spiritual energy managed to condense together and did not dissipate.

The golden eyes of the carp seemed to be sizing up Lin Feng and the rest. In its limited memory, besides its own species, it had not seen any other live matter.

But it was just curious. After seeing Lin Feng and Shi Zhongtian, it did not bother about them anymore. On the other hand, it swam deeper down.

The golden light emanated from its eyes seemed to open a pathway. It guided this fish all the way down until its final destination.

Lin Feng used his supernatural awareness to scan and could clearly feel the emotions of the fish. It was not returning to its cave or somewhere that I lived, but it seemed to be on a pilgrimage. It was passionate but pure.

"This is weird. Is the dragon gate in front, and these carps are going to cross the dragon gate?" Lin Feng found it funny and gestured to Shi Zhongtian. The both of them followed behind the fish and dived down with it. They were curious where it was going. (Translator's Note: There is an ancient Chinese tale that describes how a carp becomes a dragon after crossing the dragon gate.)

As they dived down, Lin Feng soon realized that besides the fish they met, there were other fishes that emanated the same golden light from their eyes and dived down the water.

Besides these fishes, they also met other black fishes that were just swimming around. They did not seem to be on a pilgrimage.

But these fishes who were swimming around seemed to be smaller and the golden light in their eyes seemed to be dimmer.

Lin Feng used his supernatural awareness to scan and compared them. He soon realized that the brightness of the golden light was correlated with the size, or rather the age of the fishes. As the fishes grew older, the golden light in their eyes also grew brighter.

"It seems like as these fishes grow older, the brightness of the golden light in their esyes will increase too." Lin Feng and Shi Zhongtian looked at each other. "When they are adults, or when they reach a certain age, the golden light in their eyes will be attracted to something at the bottom of the pond, which will guide them all the way. That is their final destination, or rather, the goal of their development."

Shi Zhongtian extended his hand to catch a few immature fishes. After comparing them, he said, "While the golden light reflected from their eyes are filled with Yang aura, their flesh and blood are nourished by the Yin of the pond."

After pausing for a moment, he said, "Regardless whether it is humans or demons, whoever eats the flesh of this type of fish will be greatly nourished. This is especially so for those who cultivates Yin-type mantras."

Lin Feng nodded his head and looked at the deepest end of the pond, "There may be someone at the bottom who is waiting for these fishes to walk into his trap. He will then eat them and nourish himself."

Shi Zhongtian said, "The spiritual energy of this world is gathering towards here, nourishing these fishes. After that, these fishes are used to nourish the person underneath."

"What a method." Lin Feng laughed without making a sound. After that, he continued diving, "Let me see who is down there."

With the golden light of the fishes guiding the way, Lin Feng and Shi Zhongtian did not have to locate the direction. They just followed the light.

At the start, the size of the pond was huge and there was poor visibility. Nothing could be seen.

But the further they went down, the more golden light they saw. There were countless streaks of it, as if they were sunlight. They lit up the entire black pond.

The fishes were at different positions. Some of the golden lights could be traced back to the fishes, while some of the golden lights seemed to come from nowhere. That was because those fishes that emanated these golden lights were still far away and could not be seen.

There were too many streaks of light, causing the pond to be extremely bright now.

Lin Feng and Shi Zhongtian watched this scene quietly. They watched as the uncountable fishes dived down.

At the same time, countless fishes reached the end point. Simultaneously, even more fishes were on the way, as they swam towards the final destination.

At a higher point in the pond, there were even more fishes who were yet to mature. They lived quietly in the pond. When they grew older, they would then join the rest down the pond, as they burst to the final destination.

With regards to the sudden intruders, these fishes noticed too, but they did not bother.

Lin Feng's gaze flashed and he continued swimming downwards.

Over there, the golden lights gathered and seemed to create an ocean of light. As compared to the black pond water above, they were like two different worlds.

Lin Feng and Shi Zhongtian landed at the top of the golden sea, but they saw a scene that shocked them.

Even if they were in the Immortal Soul Stage, as they saw this scene, they were still stunned.

Within the sea of light, a circular ball that resembled a clear pearl was floating. The space here was totally twisted. From afar, the circular ball did not seem very huge, but Lin Feng and Shi Zhongtian could confirm that the ball was as huge as the luminaries in the sky.

Inside the circular ball, there was the surge of bright lights. They seemed like sunlight, but seemed like flames too. Not only were these lights burning, they were also very pure.

This was a huge contrast to the black pond water above. It was like a comparison between Yin and Yang, cold and hot as well as light and darkness.

The bright radiance was as blinding as the Sun. At such a close distance, even the most cultivated person dared not look at it directly. Otherwise, his soul and flesh would be burnt.

Although Lin Feng and Shi Zhongtian were unafraid, they did feel the immense power within.

Amidst the sea of light, there were fishes that surrounded the circular ball.

At closer look, one could realize that there were countless golden carps present. They were uncountable.

The existing golden carps were even more than the black fishes that Lin Feng saw along the way.

In the dark pond water at the top, the golden light emanated from the eyes of the black fishes shone down, landing in the sea of light, guiding them all the way down.

As these black fishes entered the sea of light, they seemed to have been painted by a layer of gold. They became golden carps and floated in the sea of light.

Lin Feng felt the change in spiritual energy and nodded his head, "This is indeed the case. Once they reach this sea of light, the life form of these black fishes will change completely. Their Yin essence will be converted into Yang. Yin and Yang will be reversed."

"The mysterious power created by this reversal supplied the circular ball, but…"

Lin Feng's gaze changed, "This circular ball did not turn its back on them. The sea of light provided the spiritual energy that nourished it and housed these golden carps without engulfing them. Both the circular ball and sea of light seemed to develop a close relationship with each other."

More accurately speaking, they were not just close, they relied on each other. The black fishes entered the sea of light and converted into golden carps. They were supported by the aura of the circular ball and slowly combined with the power concept of the circular ball.

That was an extremely magnificent power concept. As Lin Feng faced this circular ball, it was as if he faced another world on its own!

Shi Zhongtian was also shocked, "Is this…the legendary magic treasure in the destiny realm?"

Lin Feng stared at the circular ball for a moment before shaking his head, "It is not one, but…"

He continued, "…it is a magic treasure embryo that will lead to the formation of a magic treasure in the destiny realm."

Regardless of the cultivation of the cultivator, the magic treasures that they cultivated started from the gestation realm and slowly rose.

There was no way a metaplasia realm or Mahayana realm magic treasure could be cultivated from the start.

Only a magic treasure in the destiny realm was a little different. Not only could it become more powerful, it could also be born in that state.

If a magic treasure wanted to reach the destiny realm, it was very difficult. Such magic treasures that appeared in the history of the Grand Celestial World had to pair up with the opportune time in order for the barriers of the Heavens and Earth to be overcame.

In fact, most of such magic treasures happened naturally. The Heavens and Earth bred the magic treasure embryo, which landed in the hands of a powerful cultivator. This powerful cultivator would then finish the job.

Right now, in front of Lin Feng was a magic treasure embryo that could become a magic treasure in the destiny realm.

Lin Feng was tempted, "The embryo is still not fully formed. It is still in a gestation period…."
