Chapter 632: Best of Both Worlds?

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng observed the golden carps in the sea of light and realized that their life forms had already changed.

The golden-eyed black fishes might contain extremely chilly and Yin spiritual energy, but they were still ordinary lives that had their own souls.

But as they entered the sea of light, they converted into golden carps and were not complete lives anymore. On the other hand, they became freakish species.

Lin Feng used his supernatural awareness to scan. Although these golden carps had their own thoughts and awareness, as well as preserved some of their previous memories, they were no longer just pure lives anymore. They had become a part of the sea of light.

As they were influenced by the circular ball, this sea of light and the golden carps were filled with the concept and aura of eternal destiny.

"This is like the formation of the Immortal Soul. As one combined with the Heavens and Earth, he became immortal. If the Heavens and Earth did not perish, he will not perish." Shi Zhongtian mumbled, "These golden carps are experiencing the same thing too. If this magic treasure of destiny realm doesn't perish, then they will live forever too."

Lin Feng nodded his head, "That's right, they have provided their life essences to this magic treasure embryo, while this magic treasure embryo has also protected them. If it can overcome the barriers of life and death, it can also ensure a brighter future for the golden carps."

Of course, these carps were protected by this magic treasure embryo. They did not possess the powers of an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator or a Demonic Saint.

For the circular ball to protect them, it must have the power to do so first. If this circular ball was destroyed, the golden carps would also perish.

But even so, as these golden-eyed black fishes came here, their life forms changed and their lives were lengthened.

Besides, before this magic treasure embryo was fully nurtured, it could not truly be considered a magic treasure embryo. It was probably just the embryo of the magic treasure embryo. For it to form its shape and become fully matured, it needed a long time. In other words, the Celestial Wonders World had to provide more spiritual energy. More golden-eyed black fishes also had to be birthed and then swim towards the sea of light as they grew older.

Whether it could become a magic treasure in the destiny realm, it was an unknown.

How long and how much effort did Emperor Shi and the current Great Qin Empire expend to cultivate the Immortal Dragon City successfully?

Even if this circular ball was nurtured, it would still be a magic treasure embryo and it was only a possibility for it to form a magic treasure in the destiny realm.

Of course, even if it doesn't reach the destiny realm, it would still be a powerful magic treasure. In the future, it also had many chances to increase its realm slowly. But when that happened, the hope would be slim. It would also be a waste of the potential that this circular ball possessed.

That was why Lin Feng calmed down and focused on the circular ball, thinking, "I still need to plan."

Shi Zhongtian seemed to have thought of something. He turned his head around, seemed to want to speak, but he stopped.

Lin Feng knew what he wanted to say.

Right now, it was as if the entire spiritual energy of the Celestial Wonders World was used to supply this circular ball in front of them.

The entire flow of spiritual energy of the Celestial Wonders World was gathered here and formed a special ecological system. The pond was able to breed such golden-eyed black fishes. After that, the life essences of these fishes were also sacrificed to convert the purest Yin energy to Yang energy. From there, the circular ball that was filled with Yang aura was formed.

The mines and the medicine valleys of the Celestial Wonders World were slowly walking towards destruction. That was because their spiritual energy was being sucked away for supplying the circular ball.

The dilemma was this. Should they keep this magic treasure embryo, or protect the Celestial Wonders World?

This was a dilemma that gave everyone a headache. Especially since Lin Feng's original plan was to turn the Celestial Wonders World into the foundation of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

A magic treasure in the destiny realm was very rare. It could not be obtained just by sacrificing a Middle World. If that was possible, all the Middle Worlds would have been destroyed. Many powerful cultivators were willing to sacrifice them to receive magic treasures in the destiny realm.

The Celestial Wonders World nurtured this circular ball out of accident. It was so accidental that probability could not be used to measure it. It was almost impossible.

If they missed this opportunity, they would never get something as good as this ever again.

A magic treasure in the destiny realm was extremely valuable to any great power, even for the Great Void Sect.

When it came to Lin Feng, he gave many of his magic treasures to his disciples. There were not many things that were useful to him, but a magic treasure in the destiny realm was definitely top in the list.

He naturally wanted to use this circular ball to cultivate a magic treasure in the destiny realm, but there were many problems he had to consider.

As a magic treasure embryo, this circular ball was not matured yet. It still needed the Celestial Wonders World to nurture it. This was a natural process that could not be sped up. Who knew how long more it would take before it would become fully mature?

Besides this, the Middle World had never nurtured a magic treasure embryo in the destiny realm before. Then, if they waited until the spiritual energy in the Celestial Wonders World had been used up, but the circular ball was not fully matured yet, what do they do then?

Lin Feng expended a lot of effort trying to solve this problem.

He might expend a lot of effort and energy, sacrifice a lot of things, but ended up with nothing.

"I want the magic treasure embryo in the destiny realm, furthermore..." Lin Feng pondered about it for a brief moment and he revealed a smile on the edge of his lips, "...the Celestial Wonders World can still be preserved, but I need to put in more effort."

Lin Feng thought about it carefully and turned towards Shi Zhongtian, smiling, "I have decided to claim this world. Regarding this, I hope Comrade Shi can keep it under wraps."

Shi Zhongtian nodded his head steadily, "Please rest assured, I know what to do."

Lin Feng lifted his head to look at the black pond above him. "Besides this, I can also feel that the black pond water still contains something within."

He swam upwards and Shi Zhongtian followed him. The two of them distanced themselves from the sea of light gradually and entered the dark region. With their supernatural awareness, they differentiated the direction and progressed.

After a period of time, Lin Feng stopped himself and observed the dark world in front of him.

Shi Zhongtian also stopped and felt a bit ridiculous. But as he saw how confident Lin Feng was, he became more comfortable and focused his supernatural awareness. He analyzed the direction in front of him.

Very soon, Shi Zhongtian also discovered that something was wrong. In the black pond, besides a huge amount of golden-eyed black fishes, there was also another huge figure.

That huge figure was surging with demonic mana and its might was immense. It did not seem to be lousier than Shi Zhongtian.

As Shi Zhongtian discovered this figure, the figure communicated with him, "Who is there?"

There seemed to be no evil intent, nor was there any display of ferocity. On the other hand, the communication revealed the other party's purity and innocence, as if it was a child that was incognizant of the outside world.

Shi Zhongtian looked at Lin Feng. Lin Feng nodded his head and expressed that this demonic figure was the presence he felt earlier.

The other party was not from the human race, and had never interacted with a human before. It could not have known the human language. Lin Feng used his supernatural awareness to communicate with the other party.

"We are new to this place, who are you?"

As the huge figure realized that Lin Feng and Shi Zhongtian did not harbor any evil intentions, it swam over to them.

Its body was pitch-dark and could not be seen clearly in the water. Only when it was close to Lin Feng and Shi Zhongtian could they see it, through the dim light emanated from their mana.

It was a huge, black carp. It looked like a carp, but was bigger than a whale. From the looks of it, it did have some similarities to the Leviathan form converted from a Kun Peng. If it floated on water, it would seem like an island.

Lin Feng noticed that this fish looked almost similar to the golden-eyed black fishes, but there was one difference.

This fish had no eyes!

All the golden-eyed black fishes emanated golden light from their eyes, regardless of how dim and bright the lights were.

Only this huge fish had no eyes and no light was emanated from it.

Lin Feng used his supernatural awareness to scan and judged that it did not retract its golden light. It did not have any eyes indeed.

An eye-less fish.

And it was this eye-less fish that differentiated itself from the others. It motivated the intelligence of its mind and cultivated into a demon. What was stranger was that it formed the Undying Demon Soul and achieved the status of a Demonic Saint.

"The Celestial Wonders World is also a Middle World. Based on logic, it should not have the Void Lightning Tribulations. Then how did it form the Demon Soul and become a Demon Lord, which progressed until its current Undying Demon Soul?" Shi Zhongtian wondered.

Lin Feng looked at the golden-eyed black fishes before looking at this eye-less fish. He then descended into silence.

"Were you born without eyes?" After a few moments, Lin Feng asked.

The eye-less fish wiggled its tail and replied, "I had eyes just like the rest."

"But as I grew older, the golden light from my eyes became stronger and stronger. My desire to dive to the bottom also became more intense. It was as if there lay my greatest happiness, my dream and was the perfect final destination."

"It seemed like everything could be achieved there." The fish replied. "But I don't know if I'm just naturally different. Although I want to go there, there is always a voice trying to stop me."

"Because there's no freedom there." The huge fish swam around, "Then, I did not know what benefits the sea of light possessed. But as I grew older, I just understood many things miraculously."

"Thus, I knew that going to the sea of light will allow us to live forever. Our lives are actually very short. To pursue that longevity, we all yearned for the sea of light."

"But I don't like it."

Chapter 633: History's Most Unreliable Demonic Saint

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"While going to the sea of light ensures longevity, I can't leave it forever. Once I leave it, I will be converted to ashes. Such a longevity is not to my liking."

Lin Feng looked at the eye-less fish in front of him and listened to his description. He sighed a little.

Life and freedom, which was more important? Who could make a decisive choice when faced with this dilemma and not regret it in the future?

Lin Feng asked, "Do you have a name?"

The eye-less fish remained silent and nodded its head, "It calls me Eye-Less."

The 'It' in Eye-less's words referred to the circular ball in the sea of light.

Lin Feng and Shi Zhongtian were both enlightened. Although the circular ball was an undeveloped magic treasure embryo, it had its own spiritual awareness, although it was still blurry. It did not appear often too, as if it was in a world of its own.

Although it was immature, it contained the aura of destiny. It could summon the Void Lightning Tribulations. It was the presence of this circular ball that Eye-less could overcome the Void Lightning Tribulations and form the Demon Soul.

This allowed Eye-less to cultivate and eventually formed the Undying Demon Soul.

For such a spiritual awareness of a magic treasure embryo, it did not appear often. If Lin Feng and Shi Zhongtian caught some of the black fishes, or made a move in the Celestial Wonders World by diving into this black pond, the circular ball would not be bothered by them.

But if Lin Feng stopped the black fishes from swimming towards the sea of light and disrupt the development of the circular ball, or even destroyed the Celestial Wonders World, then the circular ball would react.

Only with something as grave as this would the circular ball react.

Whereas Eye-less was a little special. It was the first to develop questions about its own abilities and destiny. It was also the first golden-eyed black fish that rejected its desire to go to the sea of light.

It deviated from the path of destiny.

Its actions did catch the attention of the circular ball, but the circular ball did not feel enraged because of this. On the other hand, since Eye-less wanted to walk this path, it helped Eye-less.

Maybe it did it in the heat of the moment, or maybe it had high tolerance. To it, something that was minor for it to do had helped Eye-less a great deal.

In the Cloud Forest World, tens of Cloud Forest Trees contained unlimited spiritual energy. Their foundations were strong and were not lacking to Immortal Soul Stage cultivators. But because there was no Void Lightning Tribulations in the Cloud Forest world, these Cloud Forest Trees could not form the Demon Soul even after many years.

Eye-less dived down towards the sea of light. Since it had formed the Undying Demon Soul, although it had no eyes, it could still confirm the position of the sea of light with its supernatural awareness.

As Eye-less "looked" at the circular ball, it developed confused feelings.

After forming the Undying Demon Soul, as long as it wanted, it could always rebuild its two eyes. But it did not do so.

Lin Feng asked, "Are there anybody like you?"

"There are. In my memory, occasionally, there will be some of the same species that are like me. They were also born with higher intelligence." Eyeless answered, "Most of them will dive down when they matured and proceed towards the sea of light. There are very few of them who will be like me."

As it said till here, Eye-less was a little down. "Eventually, these companions died. As they walked towards the end of life, they finally passed away and disappeared."

"I taught everything I knew to them. But now, there's only me around."

Lin Feng and Shi Zhongtian remained indifferent. How was the human world any different?

Although the world contained cultivators, there were very little people who could cultivate, even if it's only for the Qi Cultivation Stage. As compared to the total world population, there were very few of them who were cultivators.

Most of the people in the world could not cultivate. They would spend their lives very ordinarily. After decades, they would pass away.

Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators were also the same. They wouldn't live for more than a hundred years.

Aurous Core Stage cultivators could survive for a thousand years. As compared to an average person, they would seem immortal. But in comparison to the world, they were just a speck of dust that would eventually disappear.

A Nascent Soul Stage cultivator could live for 3600 years. In their long lifespan, they would do great things.

The fishes who chose to proceed towards the sea of light changed their life forms and they became part of the sea of light. As long as they leave the sea of light, they would dissipate. But if they didn't, they could live.

Preserving one's awareness and memories had no difference from living. Under the protection of the circular ball, these fishes were immortal.

If the circular ball became a magic treasure in the destiny realm, it could really survive the destruction of the Heavens and Earth. Under its protection, these fishes could live till the next era and become immortal.

They did not need to cultivate, overcome tribulations or increase their realms. They just needed to stay in the sea of light.

As compared to them, Eye-less might seem foolish. It gave up such a relaxed, eternal life to preserve its complete self that was freed of any restraints.

"Without the protection of the sea of light, there are a lot of dangers and restrictions. With more restraints, how can it be freer?" Eye-less mumbled, "But I feel that this is my choice and I'm not following the destiny of my species. This is the freedom I am working towards."

"Some of my companions who have undergone hardships also decided to give up in the end."

"But without their eyes and lack of powers, they could not enter the sea of light. Once they got close to it, they were burnt by it. Some even evaporated away."

"Hence, some of my companions started to curse me. As they cursed, they slowly aged and passed away eventually."

Eye-less was at a loss, "As I faced these companions, I had no other choice. Before they died, I swallowed them and used my powers to nourish them. This can delay their deterioration. But as time passed, they all died of old age."

"I used to tell others that our lives had another choice. But I dare not do so anymore. That's because I can't guarantee that all of them will be like me. In this way, if they go to the sea of light and attain immortality, it may not be a bad idea after all?"

Lin Feng opened his palms and there was a Celestial Small World formed from Purple Cloud on it. Inside the world, Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao, Yang Qing and Tuntun were silent."

During the process of diving, under the control of Lin Feng's supernatural awareness, they could see what was happening outside. As Lin Feng communicated with Eye-less, he passed it on to the rest of them, allowing them to know the contents.

Following the destiny of the species and giving up the opportunity to grow to attain immortality in a restricted environment?

Or freeing one's self from the lock of destiny and fight for the chance to increase one's powers, eventually attaining immortality through one's powers?

To a certain extent, Eye-less was resisting its instincts. And all of them pointed to life as the foundation, which was also the most basic of instincts.

The instinct to seek life.

Zhu Yi and the rest pondered over the matter. Because of the presence of the circular ball, the destiny of the golden-eyed black fish species was similar to that of the human cultivation world.

If humans didn't cultivate, then their lifespans were limited. When they reached the end of their lifespans, they would die. As they cultivated and fought for their lives, it was a showing of their desire for life.

Whereas the golden-eyed black fish species didn't have to cultivate tirelessly to attain immortality. Eye-less relieved itself from this destiny and embarked on a risky path, one that could kill it if it backfired.

The line between life and death was so thin that it was never a laughing matter.

"I am showing all of you this not because I want all of you to overcome the instinct of seeking life like Eye-less and pursue the freedom in your hearts." Lin Feng's voice sounded in their ears, "I just want all of you to understand the brilliance of it. I want all of you to know your own heart and firm up your minds."

"Life, freedom, the way of the Heavens and Earth. They were largely related. They can oppose one another, or they can co-exist. The brilliance within it was something that cultivators should learn to understand."

Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao and Yang Qing took in deep breaths and bowed towards Lin Feng, "Thank you Master for your guidance."

Although Xiao Yan and the others were not around, Lin Feng would teach them all of this in the future.

"Eye-less, I am the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Lin Feng. I am not from this world, but from the Divine Lands of the Greater World. The Celestial Sect of Wonders is the first to step foot into this Middle World. In the future, my sect will also claim this place as our territory."

Lin Feng looked at Eye-less, "I will interfere with you or your species. But I will retrieve it in the future."

As he said, Lin Feng pointed to the circular ball beneath and said, "I will retrieve it. I will not influence the life of your species. Life and death is common in the world."

"What are your future plans?"

Eye-less replied, "Whatever you want to do, I won't bother. The ball doesn't belong to me, neither does this world belong to me."

"Plans? I have no plans. I don't know where I should go. The freedom I am searching is not physical freedom. That is why I have always remained here."

Eye-less said, "I may roam around in the future and see the world outside the pond."

Lin Feng and Shi Zhongtian were a little speechless as they heard Eye-less slightly childish words.

Although it was determined and pure in its heart, it seemed a little innocent. This had something to do with its experiences. In the pond, there were only it and the golden-eyed black fishes. As it grew up, besides the circular ball underneath, there was nothing that could threaten it. There was literally nothing that had any ill-intentions towards it.

For Eye-less to form the Undying Demon Soul, it was really an anomaly. Just like the circular ball, this was something that could not be duplicated.

If it left the pond and the Celestial Wonders World, it was fine if it did not meet any Immortal Soul Stage cultivators. Otherwise, an evil one would kill it and use it to nourish himself.

Furthermore, for Nascent Soul Stage Elders like the Marquis of Jinghuan, with sufficient preparations and a concrete plan, he could also kill it.

This Eye-less was probably the most unreliable Demonic Saint in the entire Grand Celestial World.

Chapter 634: All Walls Have Ears

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng looked at Eye-less in front of him and thought, before he said, "This circular ball might have summoned the Void Lightning Tribulations for you to form the Nascent Soul, but I believe that most of your cultivation was due to your own understanding?"

Eye-less nodded its head, "That's right. I figured all of them on my own. But besides them, I could sense a few concepts, which I found useful."

That was natural. Although the circular ball below was not yet matured, it contained the way of the Heavens and Earth and the true meaning of destiny.

Lin Feng looked at the golden-eyed black fishes swimming around and said, "You tried to teach your species, but have been unsuccessful. That's because your own understanding of the mantras was not summarized and you didn't make it systematic enough. Those from your same species were unable to learn things systematically, hence the result was bad."

"Unless there's someone as outstanding and destined as you, you will find it difficult to nurture a successor."

Eye-less pondered for a moment and said, "That sounds logical. You are right. Many of the concepts were only understood by me alone. But I am unable to describe it to them in such a way that they can understand."

Lin Feng smiled, "If you have the heart to, you can join the Celestial Sect of Wonders to straighten out your understanding of the different mantras. After that, you can impart it to them."

"I will also make it convenient for you. If you have things you don't understand during the process of cultivation, I can guide you."

Eye-less did not have eyes, but it mimicked an action of looking at Lin Feng. He asked curiously, "You are willing to help me?"

Eye-less hesitated for a while before asking.

After Lin Feng heard it, he laughed. No wonder Eye-less could reach his current state without any guidance. The way he posed the question showed how reliable he was.

Eye-less cultivated into a demon on his own and had his own set of demonic mantras which he cultivated. As he posed a question to Lin Feng, it was beyond the demonic spells that he cultivated. In fact, everything pointed to the Heavens and Earth as the source.

Regardless whether it was human cultivation mantras or demonic mantras, all of them came from the Heavens and Earth. Eye-less' question hit the right spot.

Eye-less question didn't make it difficult for Lin Feng. As he answered, he made Eye-less feel cheerful. The question that had bugged it for so long was finally answered.

As Shi Zhongtian heard Lin Feng's answer, he felt enlightened too. He thought in his heart, "Tianhao has indeed found a brilliant Master."

In terms of cultivation, Eye-less had always been relying on his own self. Not to even mention someone who could guide it, it hardly had anyone to interact in the first place.

It had a deep passion for cultivation. It bugged Lin Feng to address all the questions he had in his years of cultivation.

After a while, Eye-less finally stopped. It muttered, "So this is the case. I have been thinking of it the wrong way the whole time and almost embarked on the wrong path."

Its huge body swam around the black pond and its demonic mana surged. His supernatural awareness expanded in all directions, as it digested everything Lin Feng guided him. As it was lost in thought, it forgot that Lin Feng and Shi Zhongtian were around. The two of them were amused.

Lin Feng said, "Are you willing to leave the water, or are you going to stay here?"

Eye-less regained its awareness and replied, "I will leave with the both of you."

"Then let's go." Lin Feng looked at the sea of light beneath him before rising towards the top.

Shi Zhongtian and Eye-less followed him. Very soon, all of them had exited the water.

In the outside world, there were many other things around. Eye-less size was very huge. The place above the pond was the cracked valley, but it seemed small in comparison to Eye-less. Eye-less immediately crushed a few rocks.

Eye-less was stunned. It was adept in the concept of transformations, but it had never left the pond in its entire life. That was why it was a little lost. It quickly shrank itself and became a huge fish that was two to three meters in length.

As it shrank, it looked like a giant carp with black scales. Especially since it did not look like the other golden-eyed black fishes which shone golden light from their eyes.

Eye-less wagged its tail and floated in mid-sky. It looked like it was still swimming in the pond.

Lin Feng waved his hand and Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao and the rest revealed themselves again. All of them looked at Eye-less and were confused.

Eye-less did not feel anything and tried to size them up.

Suddenly, its body jerked and amidst a flashing black light, it changed its appearance. It converted into a young man in black, who looked ordinary and had white pupils.

Zhu Yi and the rest clasped their palm and fist towards Eye-less, "Greetings to Elder."

Eye-less followed suit and did the same thing back at them. It was a little clumsy in his actions, "Greetings to all of you too." (Translator's note: From now on, Eye-less will be addressed as a male, since he converted into the form of a young man.)

Lin Feng said, "From today on, Eye-less will be like Jieyu and the rest. He will be part of the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

Everyone nodded their heads and Zhu Yi looked at the pond, "Master, what do we do next. Do we guard the magic treasure embryo beneath?"

Lin Feng shook his head and laughed, "Make preparations. We are going to develop the Celestial Wonders World."

Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao, Yang Qing, along with Shi Zhongtian and Tuntun, were all shocked.

"Master, that thing…" Shi Tianhao pointed beneath his feet. Lin Feng smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I have my own plans. Let's not delay."

As everyone heard this, they were curious. But since Lin Feng had already made a decision, they respected it.

After they discussed official matters, Shi Tianhao peeked at Eye-less. He communicated with Lin Feng secretly, "Master, those black fishes beneath…"

"And you say you are all grown up?" Lin Feng looked at him. Shi Tianhao laughed cheekily and Tuntun was already salivating. If it was not because Eye-less was beside her, she would have dived down into the water.

Lin Feng shook his head slightly, "Don't touch anything in the pond. I have my own plans."

Shi Tianhao and Tuntun were down as they heard what Lin Feng said. As Zhu Yi and Yang Qing looked at the both of them, they knew what was going on and shook their heads in disappointment.

Eye-less was still stunned. He "looked" around and did not understand everything.

"What are your plans, Comrade Shi?" Lin Feng turned his head to look at Shi Zhongtian. Shi Zhongtian pondered for a moment before replying, "Master Lin, I will have to count on you to continue taking care and guiding Tianhao. I will like to enter the Void Battleground again to find his parents."

"I heard Tianhao mention that you sent your avatar into the Void Battleground. I will like to thank you for that. Because of Tianhao, you have done a lot. The Void Battleground is very huge. With the Hall of the Dead cultivators keeping watch, I will like to enter the place to quickly find them."

Lin Feng nodded his head, "I can understand your circumstance. I will not stop you. If there's anything you need, you can feel free to ask me."

Shi Zhongtian shook his head, "How can I trouble you anymore, Master Lin? But I have some injuries, thus I need to treat them first."

He paused for a moment before looking at Shi Tianhao. He then said to Lin Feng, "Also, I will like to pass everything I have learnt to Tianhao. Please understand, Master Lin."

In summary, the habit of the human cultivation world in the Divine Lands was to tolerate all kinds of mantras. But there were individual sects that stopped their disciples from learning from other cultivators.

Shi Zhongtian was unaware of Lin Feng's rules, thus he wanted to clarify.

Lin Feng laughed, "Do what you want. I am fine with that."

Shi Zhongtian replied, "Since this is the case, I shall impose on you a few more days. Please do not blame me for doing so."

"You don't have to stand on ceremony." Lin Feng turned his head to look at Eye-less and laughed, "You are also very greedy. The crucible that you swallowed, my disciple is searching for it."

Eye-less scratched his head and opened his mouth. A small green crucible flew out of it and landed in front of Lin Feng and the rest. It was the last Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness that they needed.

Lin Feng caught it with his hand. As the crucible landed in his hand, he thought, "Okay, the Mountain and River Void Crucible and the nine Green Bronze Crucibles of Emptiness are all present. But more research needs to be done before I can nurture the Fire and Ice Fruit into the Fire Affinity Wood. Just the Blessed Spiritual Land will be insufficient."

"When Emperor Xia perished then, the Crucible of the Divine Lands went missing. There are many things that we still have to plan." Lin Feng thought. "We shall develop the Celestial Wonders World first. Hopefully, it can become the foundation of this place."

For something as practical as this, a useful talent was naturally needed. Dao Zhiqiang was a suitable candidate.

He had just settled things over at the Cloud Mirror City and Yun Peak. His burden was slightly heavy. Right now, Lin Feng was going to put more pressure on him and increase his workload.

Those who were capable always did much more work.

Fortunately, Dao Zhiqiang was expecting this. He knew that the Celestial Sect of Wonders was going to develop even further. All sorts of matters would pop out. Thus, he would employ reliable and capable talents, nurturing them to help him.

Along with Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and the bunch of Immediate Disciples, he was also one of the earliest to learn about the existence of the Celestial Wonders World.

After receiving news about it, he knew about the problem he was going to face. He started to allocate his work at the Cloud Mirror City to others and picked some capable assistants. He was tight-lipped. As he chose people, he did not reveal anything to them.

Only when Lin Feng notified him to proceed to the Celestial Wonders World did he bring some of the capable ones over to assist him. He went over with Wang Lin to this undeveloped Middle World.

The few of them could not begin work so early on. They had to observe and plan first, before transferring the suitable manpower over to start.

Besides the various mines and herbs present, Dao Zhiqiang and the rest also had to analyze the geography of the place and made sure that it was suitable for living.

Lin Feng had already expressed his wish. He wanted people to migrate to the Celestial Wonders World. As the population boomed, he could choose talents from within this pool of people. It was also easier for him to gather the backgrounds of these talents.

Since he wanted immigrants over, then naturally the place must be suitable for living. Not only must it be suitable for cultivators, it had to be suitable for the average person too.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders started to develop the world, but all walls have ears.

Without even anyone divulging the secret of this place, an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator could sense its presence if it was close enough.

The Virtuous Zen Master sat above the mountain valley at the north foot of Mount Kunlun. He guarded the boundary pathway between the Celestial Wonders World and Divine Lands.

One morning, he felt something amiss.

He raised his brows and looked far away. The direction he looked at suddenly appeared a human figure, as void space vibrated.

Chapter 635: Sharing the Spoils

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Forever-Bright Tathagata Mantra, Amitabha Sutra, Supreme Light Mantra and the Three Thousand Illumination Spell cultivated by the Virtuous Zen Master were all present. Although he was a gentle person that did not favor battling, the Buddhist cultivation he possessed was miraculous. Especially the Zen mind he had allowed him to develop a great sense of aesthesis.

Moreover, his opponent did not really hide his own tracks.

The Buddhist light reflected by the Virtuous Zen Master shone in the horizon. As void space vibrated, the figure of a middle-aged man appeared.

The middle-aged man had a rectangular face shape and he had a mature feel to him. As he stood in the sky, his sword aura shot into the Nine Heavens, like a golden pillar. As it was erected on the ground, it supported the skies.

He seemed to be independent of this world and formed an entity on his own. But at the same time, he achieved resonance with the way of the Heavens and Earth.

The Virtuous Zen Master did not move and clasped his palms, "So it's the Shaoyang Swordmaster. It's been a long time."

The middle-aged man in the sky was the Shaoyang Swordmaster.

A few thousand years ago, the Shaoyang Swordmaster had already reached the Immortal Soul Second Level. But as he faced the Virtuous Zen Master, who was in the Immortal Soul First Level, he dared not go close to him but stayed far away.

The Virtuous Zen Master caressed the scroll that Lin Feng gave to him and laughed while shaking his head. The Shaoyang Swordmaster was very prudent, making him very difficult to deal with as compared to others.

Shaoyang Swordmaster said calmly, "It's indeed been a long time."

He scanned the mountain valley that the Virtuous Zen Master was on, "This boundary pathway seems to be very stable. It doesn't seem to lead to the Barren Expanses or the Void Battleground. It seems like it leads to a Middle World."

"Among all the Middle Worlds, I have not heard of any new ones that are connected to the Divine Lands through a boundary pathway. Don't tell me this boundary pathway leads to a new Middle World?"

The Virtuous Zen Master sighed and stood up. He stepped forward and came to the position where the Shaoyang Swordmaster stood previously.

Who knew the Shaoyang Swordmaster retreated. As he faced the Virtuous Zen Master who was of a lower cultivation, he retreated quickly. He converted into a streak of sword radiance and disappeared from the field of vision of the Virtuous Zen Master.

The Virtuous Zen Master shook his head. The Shaoyang Swordmaster was being very prudent and decisive. If he had any thoughts of resisting or fighting, he could be trapped by Lin Feng's scroll. Only if he retreated without hesitation could he provide himself with the room to escape.

In reality, the Shaoyang Swordmaster did exactly just that.

Even if the art of swordplay that he cultivated was very calm and peaceful, as a sword cultivator, the Shaoyang Swordmaster never caved in. But today's circumstance was special. The Shaoyang Swordmaster chose the most beneficial and correct choice.

To him, if he could escape, it was victory.

The Virtuous Zen Master sighed and passed the news to Lin Feng. After learning about the situation, Lin Feng was not vexed over it. He even smiled, "I understand the situation. You don't have to take it to heart. Continue to hold the fort and prevent anyone from entering"

The Virtuous Zen Master was a little confused. After the Mount Shu Sword Sect received news, even if they didn't trespass, once they spread the news, there was bound to be trouble for the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

With the current powers of Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders, unless the Great Void Sect went all out on them, or if the other great powers allied, they would be able to bear any attacks.

But if the Celestial Wonders World became the main battlefield, then the Celestial Sect of Wonders had no choice but to postpone their plans in the Celestial Wonders World. Their progress would be delayed.

Although the Virtuous Zen Master was just a guest, they respected him and did not hide things from him. That was why the Virtuous Zen Master knew that after the battle at Xiling City, the Celestial Sect of Wonders was bound to enter a period of rapid development.

If they get involved with other powers under such a circumstance, they were bound to distract themselves.

But Lin Feng seemed to be confident. The Virtuous Zen Master agreed, but he advised Lin Feng, "Master, you must be wary of changes in the Great Qin Empire. This place is at the edge of the north foot of Mount Kunlun. Not only is it near Mount Shu, it is also near the territorial boundaries of the Great Qin Empire."

Lin Feng laughed slightly. As the Virtuous Zen Master said till here, he expressed his thought that he was considering the situation for the Celestial Sect of Wonders seriously.

"Thank you for the guidance." Lin Feng considered his words.

On Mount Yujing, Lin Feng considered carefully. To him, he was against those who kept everything to themselves. At least sharing a little of the spoils was the right thing to do.

It's not because he was generous, but it's important to think for the long-term. There would be more opportunities to gain more benefits in the future.

He was determined to make the Celestial Wonders World his. He yearned for the magic treasure embryo even more. Whoever dared to take it from him would get his hands cut off.

But this was strictly limited to the control of the land. He did not want others to interfere. The resources produced by the Celestial Wonders World could be shared with the other great powers.

Of course, he did not plan for these resources to be shared so easily. But establishing good relationships was very important.

Especially after since Shi Tianhao had explored the place and realized that the world had countless valuable resources that many other sects needed.

Using the method of trade, Lin Feng could also make it convenient for him to obtain various kinds of valuable resources from other great powers.

As for the problems it might cause….

Lin Feng laughed. He had to take appropriate measures. One could not afford to be too prudent. If there were benefits that outweighed the risks, then things were worth doing.

Shaoyang Swordmaster returned to Mount Shu. The Mount Shu Sword Sect would not keep the secret for Lin Feng. Very soon, the news of the Celestial Sect of Wonders developing a new Middle World had spread among the entire Grand Celestial World.

At one point, at the north foot of Mount Kunlun, a huge uproar was created and the masses gathered.

Because of Lin Feng's and the Celestial Sect of Wonder's might, everyone was just observing secretly and did not dare to make rash moves.

What made Lin Feng unsure of whether to laugh or cry was that the first to come knocking were a few smaller scale cultivation sects.

They did not want a piece of the land, but came over to build their ties with the Celestial Sect of Wonders more closely. They wanted to fight for a chance for their disciples to enter the Celestial Wonders World to cultivate.

Of course, many other sects also expressed their desire to purchase the resources in the Celestial Wonders World.

There were even sects that offered to be the representative of the Celestial Sect of Wonders at the north foot of Mount Kunlun.

All these were settled by Lin Feng's disciples. He was not too bothered about them. What made him slightly interested was that the Ethereal Mountain Sect also came along.

They had always relied on the Mount Shu Sword Sect. After the Celestial Sect of Wonders dominated Mount Kunlun, many people reckoned that the Ethereal Mountain Sect was a nail embedded in Mount Kunlun by Mount Shu.

But after the battle at Xiling City, there was a rumor that the Ethereal Mountain Sect was slowly distancing itself from the Mount Shu Sword Sect. Although they did not do anything to curry favor with the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the senior management of the Ethereal Mountain Sect seemed to have other thoughts. Their attitude towards the Mount Shu Sword Sect were not as passionate as before.

Strictly speaking, the Ethereal Mountain was not far from the Celestial Wonders World. The Shaoyang Swordmaster appeared near the north foot of Mount Kunlun suddenly probably because he paid a visit to the Ethereal Mountain before discovering a weird movement over at the Celestial Wonders World. After that, he went to explore it out of curiosity.

And the visit of the Ethereal Mountain Sect this time around was viewed as their plan to switch allegiance.

This form of action might not be very favorable by bigger sects, but in smaller sects, it was very common. In order to survive amongst the great powers, these smaller sects had to be very tactical.

Although the Ethereal Mountain Sect was viewed as a 'spy' in Mount Kunlun when they were reliant on Mount Shu, they had always respected boundaries. They did not cause any trouble for the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Now that the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Mount Shu Sword Sect were in conflict, the switching of allegiance of the Ethereal Mountain Sect was a good sign for the Celestial Sect of Wonders. They would also act as a model for the rest of the other powers who were reliant on Mount Shu.

That was why Zhu Yi came to receive the guests from the Ethereal Mountain Sect instead of rejecting it. Of course, he was not fully passionate too. He controlled his attitude towards them very well.

The sect leader of the Ethereal Mountain Sect, Wu Yunliang, came to pay a visit personally. As he looked at Zhu Yi, he sighed in his heart. After bidding goodbye to him, he stood within the mountains and his emotions and thoughts flowed.

A middle-aged man who seemed of the same age as him and who was in the Nascent Soul Stage said, "Senior, this is a good chance. We have always laid low for this."

Wu Yunliang looked at the middle-aged man, "Junior Li, what I'm afraid is that regardless whether I'm taking the right or wrong step, the Ethereal Mountain Sect may not recover."

The middle-aged man remained silent for a while before he sighed, "If that is so, that is destiny."

Wu Yunliang turned his body and did not look at him anymore. He looked at the moving clouds in the sky, "That's right. We can plan things, but fate decides how everything turns out…"

The Celestial Sect of Wonders received the smaller sects and powers as they came over to visit. Although these were just brief interactions and nothing was fully concrete, they presented themselves with generosity and did not seemed too domineering.

As news spread, the other great powers were more confident and started to contact the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

The first to contact them was the Great Qin Empire.

Prince Anliang rushed to Mount Yujing. Although he held a high position in the Great Qin Empire, to build up the relationship with the Celestial Sect of Wonders, he still had to run around to get things right. He was the most familiar with the Celestial Sect of Wonders among all the important figures in the Great Qin Empire.

Shi Zongyue came with the opinions of the Great Qin Empire and acknowledged the control the Celestial Sect of Wonders had over the Celestial Wonders World. But the Great Qin Empire was hoping to send some professionals into the Celestial Wonders World to join in the development of the Celestial Wonders World.

As an exchange, the Great Qin Empire was willing to assist the Celestial Sect of Wonders in their immigration project without any conditions.

Chapter 636: With Sufficient Chips, One Had a Bigger Say

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

After some news were purposely leaked by the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the Great Qin Empire was very curious about the Water Marrow Crystal Mine and the Evil-Warding Purple Gold. They hoped to send people to get the right to mine all these resources.

Through trading and buying of these resources, on one hand, the supply might be unstable, on another hand, the control was all in the hands of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, which was something the Great Qin Empire was not pleased to see.

The Great Qin Empire hoped to use the immigration project to obtain the right to enter the Celestial Wonders World. They had no ideas about the expansion and control of the Middle World, but they hoped to have a stake in the mining of the key resources in the Celestial Wonders World.

Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders wanted people to migrate to the Celestial Wonders World and boost the population over there. He needed some people to set the foundation first. Right now, in the Divine Lands, the average citizens had rather stable lives and they rarely migrated elsewhere.

Although it was a cultivation world, people were still devoted to their native land. There were very few who were willing to migrate elsewhere.

To force them to do so was possible, but it was unwise.

There were many people under the Great Qin Empire. With their official administration promoting the migration, supplemented with the dissemination of the information regarding the Celestial Wonders World, these people would be more willing to migrate.

"These immigrants will be from the Great Qin Empire. After they enter the Celestial Wonders World, and it prospers in the future, who does it belong to then?" Shi Tianhao pondered.

Zhu Yi said, "This must depend on the education of the next few generations of people. For them to migrate over, their entire family must move over here too. As they move here, they have to cut off any links they once had with the outside world and build up their foundations from here again."

"Those with a 'special mission' will be removed. There will not be many of such people, otherwise the Great Qin Empire will be shooting itself in the foot. Since they proposed such an idea, they may intend to put some spies over, but most of the people migrating over should be normal citizens. They have to make it convenient for us, otherwise there will be no deal."

Lin Feng was aware of the conversation between his disciples, but he did not plan to make it easy for the Great Qin Empire.

As he looked at Shi Zongyue, Lin Feng smiled. He changed the topic suddenly, "Prince Anliang, I suddenly recalled that there is another kind of resource that is produced in the Celestial Wonders World."

Shi Zongyue was slightly surprised, but his expression did not change. He asked, "Oh? What is it?"

Lin Feng answered, "Polarity Steel."

Shi Zongyue went silent and his expression did not change, but he was already laughing bitterly in his heart.

The Polarity Steel was a very special cultivation resource, containing the power of the dual polarities. This form of dual polarity was very special. Once cultivated, every piece of Polarity Steel was independent, but could build up a mana connection with other Polarity Steels too.

And it was not just a connection with one other Polarity Steel. It was like a web of connections.

To a normal cultivator or a sect, this Polarity Steel was not just used for creating tools of communication. It was also used to produce certain troop formations.

Talking about these troop formations, the Almighty Celestial Destroyer Formation could not be left out of the picture.

The Divine Martial Army of the Great Zhou Empire was the only large-scale army contingent around. Those who participated did not have to cultivate the same things, but a powerful armed force could still be gathered.

From an Immortal Soul Stage Elder to a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator, through the Almighty Celestial Destroyer Formation, they could all link their powers and exist as an entity.

In the cultivation world, when there was too huge a gap in cultivation, quantity lost its meaning. A huge cultivator could shift mountains and fill the seas. Killing countless low-cultivation cultivators would be easy for him.

If the difference in realm was too big, quantity would never make up for quality.

The Almighty Celestial Destroyer Formation did not just increase the quantity of people. Instead, through a miraculous spell, it caused the increase in quantity to translate into an increase in quality, changing the model of power within. These allowed the cultivators in the lower realm to match up to that of the more powerful cultivators within the formation.

During the War of Buddha Annihilation, as they faced the Great Thunderclap Temple's Vairocana Formation, countless cultivators from the Divine Martial Army combined their powers and destroyed it. Although they did it with the help of the Formation-Bursting Drum, the result was still shocking.

The increase in quality of the formation was not unlimited, but was enough to catch the attention of many.

Many other sects formed their own troops because they cultivated the same things. That's why there was a limit to their quantity of troopers. The Almighty Celestial Destroyer Formation was brilliant in the way that it allowed those who cultivated different things to come together to create a formation.

The Almighty Celestial Destroyer Formation was rumored to be created by the Marquis of Xuanji, Zhu Hongwu.

But in reality, it originated from Emperor Tai.

After Emperor Tai perished, the spell and formation gradually disappeared. Only when the Great Zhou Empire discovered the traces of Emperor Tai did they find the Imperial Palace. This allowed this spell and formation to re-appear again. After Zhu Hongwu make changes to it, the Almighty Celestial Destroyer Formation was finally created.

Besides this, for the formation to produce the best results, there must be the coordination of other things too.

The Great Zhou Empire prepared costumes for the Divine Martial Army, and they added the Polarity Steel inside them intentionally. This was to increase the mana connection between the cultivators in the formation, and also to make it more convenient for the leader of the formation to lead his troops.

But in the Divine Lands, it was very rare to find Polarity Steel. As a result, the demand of the Divine Martial Army was always not matched by the supply. Besides searching for the Polarity Steel all these years, the Great Zhou Empire was also actively seeking other resources that could replace the Polarity Steel. But they did not make any findings.

Right now, there was a Polarity Steel Mine of top quality and sufficient quantity that appeared right in front of Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu. They were definitely tempted.

Celestial Sect of Wonders stamped their foot on this place. If the Great Zhou Empire wanted to snatch the resources from under their nose, they had to consider it carefully. But if they just wanted to help with the movement of immigrants, then it would make things easier. Their need for the Polarity Steel was greater than the need of the Great Qin Empire for the Water Marrow Crystals or the Evil-Warding Purple Gold.

And if the Great Zhou Empire could obtain the Polarity Steel that they needed, it would be very beneficial for the increase in their powers.

If the powers of the Almighty Celestial Formation were boosted greatly, it could have a huge influence on the Imperial Palace.

Once the Imperial Palace reached its peak state like before, it would be a very powerful magic treasure in the destiny realm. If it could improve beyond what it was ever like, then it would be even more frightening.

But as they faced the Great Void Sect, it was impossible for the conflict between the Great Zhou Empire and Great Qin Empire to be resolved. As one's powers increased, not only did it threaten the Great Void Sect, it also threatened the other empire.

Lin Feng flipped his palm and a clear white metal rock appeared on his palm. Shi Zongyue did not even have to use his supernatural awareness to know that it was a raw Polarity Steel rock that had not undergone purification.

Although it was just a raw metal now, there was a dense amount of Polarity Steel within. For a raw material, the quality seemed to be very high.

Lin Feng tapped lightly in air and an illusion appeared. The image of a series of mountains was projected. As the focus was changed to the bottom of the mountains, a line of mine that reflected a bright, white light appeared in front of Shi Zongyue.

The mine shot out a strong polarity force, causing a tremendous disruption. The force even transcended void space and caused the illusion to shake slightly.

As Shi Zongyue saw this, he knew that Lin Feng was not lying.

Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu were very ambitious. If the Great Zhou Empire became too powerful, Lin Feng would not be pleased either. But as compared to the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the Great Qin Empire would have a greater pressure.

The Great Qin Empire could not allow the Great Zhou Empire to get the Polarity Steel. If it was something else, they could consider allowing the Great Zhou Empire to join them in pressurizing the Celestial Sect of Wonders. But it was a no go with regards to the Polarity Steel. They could still tolerate the Almighty Celestial Destroyer Formation, but if the Imperial Palace was to be boosted, that was something they could not allow to happen.

As both sides negotiated, the side with lesser chips had no right to impose their opinions.

Lin Feng left some room for the Great Qin Empire cultivators to enter the Celestial Wonders World to explore the various mines. From there, they could decide the quantity to be traded with the Great Qin Empire in the future. In this area, Lin Feng provided them welfare and ensured that they were given sufficient supplies.

The news of the Polarity Steel did not spread. Right now, only the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Great Qin Empire. As they settled the deal with the Great Qin Empire, the Celestial Sect of Wonders would naturally prevent the Polarity Steel from going to the Great Zhou Empire.

The Great Qin Empire helped the Celestial Sect of Wonders by boosting its immigration volume. Under the control of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the Great Qin Empire did not dare to pull any tricks.

During the process of negotiation, Shi Zongyue, Shi Yu and the senior management of the Great Qin Empire communicated with one another. With regards to such a result, the Great Qin Empire could not help it.

After confirming the cooperation of the Great Qin Empire, Lin Feng started to receive some guests.

The main point this time was the Matte Glowless Metal.

The Matte Glowless Metal was one of the Six Mystical Metals. It was the perfect material to cultivate flying swords or other metal weapons. As long as a small amount of it was added into the weapons, they would become much stronger immediately.

During the first Sect-Opening Ceremony at Shazhou County, the Great Zhou Empire sent a congratulatory gift, which contained ten catties of Matte Glowless Metal.

The Matte Glowless Metal that the Great Zhou Empire sent was not the raw metal, but was cultivated.

Ten catties did not sound like a lot, but as compared to its effects and production quantities, it was indeed a huge number.

During then, the Azure Clouds Grandmaster, Flying Flames Grandmaster and other Nascent Soul Stage Grandmasters were jealous. If it was a smaller sect, they would have snatched the metal away.

And as the Celestial Sect of Wonders developed this Celestial Wonders World, the most important discovery they made was an entire stretch of Matte Glowless Metal mine.

The storage quantity was very huge and the quality seemed to be good too. It was far superior than most of the Matte Glowless Metal mines in the Divine Lands. With the same quantity of raw metal, more Matte Glowless Metals could be formed.

For such a stretch of mine, besides satisfying the Celestial Sect of Wonders, it was also a chip that was important to Lin Feng.

Right now, the Celestial Sword Elder, Great Barren Swordmaster and the Lightning Swordmaster were all here as they received news about it.

To these sword cultivators, if they could add the Matte Glowless Metal into the cultivation of their swords, it would be a huge boost.

"Everybody, we have to admit that the Celestial Sect of Wonders is very powerful now. If we just interact with them on our own, we will be at a disadvantage." The Celestial Sword Elder was the first to reach Mount Kunlun. He waited and stopped the rest as they came. He communicated with them, "Let us combine forces and interact with the Celestial Sect of Wonders. This will help us achieve our goal."

Chapter 637: Art of Maneuvering

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Celestial Sword Elder ascended Mount Yujing. He had mixed feelings. The relationship between the Heavenly Master Sword Sect and the Celestial Sect of Wonders was a little awkward.

For those who were lower in the ranks of the Heavenly Master Sword Sect, they did not know. But the Celestial Sword Elder clearly knew that the backer of the Heavenly Master Sword Sect was the Conservative Faction of the Great Void Sect.

The Heavenly Master Sword Sect could rise and be the second most powerful after the Mount Shu Sword Sect in the Nine Heavenly Sword Alliance not only because they worked tirelessly to develop the sect, but also because of the support of the Great Void Sect.

The Great Void Sect needed someone to restrain the Mount Shu Sword Sect in the Nine Heavenly Sword Alliance, but it must not be someone too powerful. But they had to at least ensure that the Nine Heavenly Sword Alliance was not ruled by one voice.

Since immemorial, the Mount Shu Sword Sect's words were king in the Nine Heavenly Sword Alliance.

And because the Great Void Sect backed the Heavenly Master Sword Sect, the Mount Shu Sword Sect could only close one eye with regards to them.

The younger generation of Mount Shu disciples looked down on the Heavenly Master Sword Sect. They reckoned that they were unable to match up to the Mount Shu Sword Sect. They were always curious why the elders of their sect were willing to allow another sword sect to challenge them.

But the Immortal Soul Stage Elders of the Mount Shu Sword Sect knew that the Heavenly Master Sword Sect represented the Great Void Sect in the Nine Heavenly Sword Alliance. Just like how the Sun Moon Sword Sect represented the Great Qin Empire and the Vast Sea Sword Sect represented the Great Zhou Empire.

At the very start, the Heavenly Master Sword Sect and the Celestial Sect of Wonders shared a cordial relationship. Especially since after the Heavenly Cart Peak Sword Conference, both parties were even closer.

But during the battle at Xiling City, Lin Feng banded with the Great Zhou, Great Qin, Purple Clouds Sect and the Royal House of the Northern Winds to oppose the Great Void Sect. The Heavenly Master Sword Sect was caught in between and were awkward.

Although the Heavenly Master Sword Sect did not express any ill-intentions and the Celestial Sect of Wonders did not view them as the slave of the Great Void Sect, the relationship between both sides became colder.

This was something Lin Feng thought was a pity too. But every effect had its cause. Everything had its pros and cons. As long as the pros were more than the cons, then it was fine.

That was why the Celestial Sword Elder had no confidence as he made this trip. If it was before the battle at Xiling City, with their relationship with the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the Matte Glowless Metal would definitely be sold to the Heavenly Master Sword Sect.

But things were difficult to tell now. That was why the Celestial Sword Elder roamed around the Mount Kunlun region for some time, as he waited for the elders of the other sects. After that, he negotiated with them and they collaborated before they paid a visit to Lin Feng.

With Lin Feng's current powers, in the Divine Lands, those who could really force negotiations with him were only the Great Void Sect, Mount Shu Sword Sect, the Great Qin Empire and the Great Zhou Empire.

If the Samsara Sect could unite the Six Paths and regain their past might, then they could probably do the same to Lin Feng.

Besides these few great powers, no other sect had the confidence to deal with Lin Feng.

Even if a few of them collaborated, they were still not confident of dealing with Lin Feng. The Celestial Sword Elder and the rest were pondering how they could get the best deal from the negotiation, as they paid a visit to Lin Feng.

Who knew that Lin Feng kept on deviating from the topic as they visited him and engaged in trivial conversations.

The Celestial Sword Elder and the rest were anxious, but they could not force Lin Feng to reply.

"Don't tell me someone has already made a move?" The Celestial Sword Elder thought in his mind, "Who can it be? The Intense Flaming Sword Sect have always been following the Mount Shu Sword Sect, thus it can't be them. The Vast Sea Sword Sect follows the Great Zhou and the Sun Moon Sword Sect follows the Great Qin. They are suspects."

"The Sword of Radiance Sect has already left the Mount Shu Sword Sect and have not supported any other great powers. Don't tell me they have jumped onto the boat of the Celestial Sect of Wonders?"

The few sword cultivators were wondering. As Lin Feng saw this, he interrupted them and said, "In the Celestial Wonders World, I have indeed discovered the Matte Glowless Metal, but the environment of the mine is complex. I need more time to explore. I will also have to wait for my disciples to report things to me. Please do not be anxious."

The Celestial Sword Elder and the rest could not say anything and just nodded their heads.

After he sent them to Yun Peak, Lin Feng sat within the Grand Heavens Pavilion. After a brief moment, two human figures appeared in the pavilion.

One of them was a middle-aged man in yellow. His expression was indifferent. There was a powerful vibration of force. It was the Great Barren Swordmaster.

The other person wore a black robe and the body of the robe was weaved with images of blue lightning. He looked ferocious. It was the Lightning Swordmaster.

The two of them looked at each other and greeted each other. After that, they proceeded to look at Lin Feng.

"Master Lin, why did you keep us here?"

Lin Feng laughed. He summoned the two of them back secretly.

"Please wait, Great Barren Swordmaster." Lin Feng nodded at him. After that, he looked at the Lightning Swordmaster and said, "The Celestial Wonders World produces the Matte Glowless Metal. The Lightning Sword Sect and another sect will be given the priority in obtaining supplies of the metal. I wonder what do you think of that?"

The pupils of the Lightning Sword Sect shrank. In the Nine Heavenly Sword Alliance, the Lightning Sword Sect had always been friendly with the Heavenly Master Sword Sect.

They did not bow down to the Heavenly Master Sword Sect, but they were allies. They advanced and retreated together in the Nine Heavenly Sword Alliance.

Lin Feng's actions now was equivalent to tearing the Lightning Sword Sect apart from the Heavenly Master Sword Sect.

The Lightning Swordmaster had just made a pact with the Celestial Sword Elder to collaborate together to trade with the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

The Lightning Sword Sect, Heavenly Master Sword Sect, Great Barren Sword Sect and the Starry Sword Sect collaborated together to obtain the Matte Glowless Metal. But with Lin Feng's conditions, the Lightning Sword Sect was bound to gain a huge advantage.

But once he accepted Lin Feng's conditions, the relationship between the Lightning Sword Sect and the Heavenly Master Sword Sect would be gone.

Or rather, their relationship with the Great Void Sect would be in ruins.

The Heavenly Master Sword Sect and the Great Void Sect were too close. They had obtained too much benefits from the Great Void Sect, such that they had slowly became one with the Great Void Sect. They could not jump ship to the Celestial Sect of Wonders at the last moment.

But the Lightning Sword Sect was different. They banded together with the Heavenly Master Sword Sect for mutual benefits. They could switch sides any time they wanted. The only problem was how should they choose and whether it was worth it.

The Lightning Swordmsater looked at Lin Feng quietly. During the battle at Xiling City, Lin Feng displayed his powers and planned to overthrow the Great Void Sect, but eventually, was he successful?

A few Matte Glowless Metals were naturally insufficient to persuade the Lightning Sword Sect to switch sides. But the Lightning Swordmaster and Lin Feng both knew that today was just the beginning. Lin Feng had sent a signal by trying to persuade the Lightning Swordmaster over. But it remained to see whether the Lightning Swordmaster was willing to accept the deal.

The Lightning Swordmaster was silent for a while, before he asked, "May I ask, besides the Lightning Sword Sect, who is the other party?"

It couldn't be the Great Barren Sword Sect, otherwise Lin Feng would have spelt things out earlier.

Lin Feng looked at the Great Barren Swordmaster and smiled, but did not speak.

At this time, a third human figure appeared within the pavilion.

It was the Supreme Radiance Swordmaster.

The Lightning Swordmaster understood now. "The Sword of Radiance Sect had indeed switched sides to the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

He pondered for a while and clasped his palm and fist at Lin Feng, "With regards to the item that you wish to trade, I will make the necessary preparations. If you need anything, you can tell me directly. I will make the preparations."

Lin Feng laughed, "I heard that your sect has a special resource called the Blue Thunderclap Heavenly Crystal. We shall trade these two items. As for the relative price of the two items, my disciples will decide. Let's not talk further."

The Lightning Swordmaster nodded his head, "Okay." The Blue Thunderclap Heavenly Crystal was a precious resource of the Lightning Sword Sect. Its value was difficult to be measured.

Lin Feng looked at the Great Barren Swordmaster now. He saw that the Great Barren Swordmaster was calm as usual and did not seemed to be troubled by the fact that the Matte Glowless Metal was shared between the Lightning Sword Sect and the Sword of Radiance Sect.

He figured out that Lin Feng asked him to stay not because he wanted to make a fool out of him.

Lin Feng also smiled at him, "As compared to the Matte Glowless Metal, I believe that you will be more interested in this."

As he said, Lin Feng gestured in void space, forming a light figure. The image inside the light figure revealed a desert that looked like the Gobi Desert.

The Great Barren Swordmaster did not speak and only observed. The Lightning Swordmaster and the Supreme Radiance Swordmaster both did not speak either as they looked at the light figure.

The scenery in the light figure changed rapidly. From the skies, the view descended all the way into the desert and all the way down, till the depths of the sand.

Suddenly, a pitch-black image was formed, but there was a dim light shining.

The light spread in all directions and formed a ball. The Great Barren Swordmaster looked stunned, "This is the…Nine Netherworld Melted Jade? This thing can only be found in the Barren Expanses. I can't believe that this Middle World has it too."

The Nine Netherworld Melted Jade was a precious treasure and was the best material to cultivate a magic item. Not only did it increase the quality of the magic item, it would also increase the success of cultivating the item.

At the same time, as the cultivator cultivated the Nine Netherworld Melted Jade, he could comprehend many way concepts.

This treasure also had the aura of primitivism. It would be a great help in the understanding of the concepts of barren life in the Primordial Age.

The top of the collection of the Great Barren Sect was the Great Barren Sword Code. The Nine Netherworld Melted Jade was very beneficial to the cultivators in the Great Barren Set.

At the same time, the Great Barren Sect was one of the best in cultivating magic items in the Divine Lands.

Their disciples possessed high standards of cultivating magic items. Although they were sword cultivators, they had all sorts of magic items. They were considered weirder among the sword cultivators.

For sword sects like Mount Shu, Lightning Sword Sect, Heavenly Master Sword Sect and the Sword of Radiance Sect, they had no other items except their swords.

Not only was the Great Barren Sword Sect not like that, they even possessed countless magic items of different origins. They even had more of these magic items than other sects which were not sword sects.

This was a special cultivation method derived from the Great Barren Sword Code. Everything had the sword as its core. After that, they were infused and cultivated, until a sword that truly belonged to them was finally obtained.

Chapter 638: Many Tricks Up His Sleeves

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The sword cultivators from the Great Barren Sword Sect were abnormal. When they reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, they would start to cultivate many magic items.

They did not just cultivate swords. Anything was possible, it just had to depend on the cultivator.

Before forming the Aurous Core, the cultivators would cultivate all the magic items that they had, which were all infused into one cauldron. At the end, they would obtain one magic sword. Along with the special cultivation manual of the Great Barren Sword Sect and the infusion of a cultivator's supernatural awareness into his sword, he could reach the Aurous Core Stage.

After forming the Aurous Core, this magic sword would be re-cultivated to increase its standard. It would become the first magic item of the Great Barren Sword Sect cultivator.

After that, the Great Barren Sword Sect began their second round of cultivation. Just like the Foundation Establishment Stage, the cultivators would start to cultivate a huge amount of magic items. But this time, they cultivated Aurous Core Stage magic items.

There were many varieties of magic items being cultivated. They could choose the powerful weapons from within their sects as a model, or they could exercise some creativity on their own.

After the cultivator reached the peak of the Aurous Core Stage and was ready to form the Nascent Soul, he would cultivate all the Aurous Core Stage magic items again and receive another magic sword. Following that, he would infuse his supernatural awareness into the sword and overcome the Void Lightning Tribulations.

During the Nascent Soul Stage, the same logic applied. This would continue until the Immortal Soul Stage was reached.

If the Immortal Soul was formed and a magic treasure was formed, the entire process would then end.

This was the cultivation manual that the Great Barren Sword Sect passed down for generations. At the core of everything was the sword. Eventually, they would return to its roots and help the cultivator to reach a higher realm.

This cultivation manual had its pros and cons. The good thing was that it was easy for the cultivators to break through their bottlenecks and increase their cultivations.

But the bad thing was that cultivating a magic item required a lot of effort. And to most cultivators, time was the most precious.

As more time was spent on cultivating the magic items, their time used to cultivate mantras, accumulate powers and perfecting their art of swordplay would be taken away.

This kind of cultivation manual had no special requirements. However, the more magic items there were, the magic sword cultivated in the end would be more powerful and the cultivator would have a higher chance of reaching the next realm.

Amidst all these, there was a choice involved.

Not only did it involved the choice of the cultivators, it also required the elders to educate them and judge the potential of these cultivators. From there on, they could then be given the best custom-made plan for their progress.

Out of the countless mantras and abhijnas, they were all different. This type of cultivation manual of the Great Barren Sword Sect could be considered an outlier in the Divine Lands.

With regards to this form of cultivation of the Great Barren Sword Sect, the Nine Netherworld Melted Jade was undoubtedly the most precious resource to them. Its importance to them was greater than the Matte Glowless Metal.

But the Nine Netherworld Melted Jade had only appeared in the Barren Expanses and was extremely rare.

The Great Barren Swordmaster calmed his nerves and looked at Lin Feng. Lin Feng smiled and said, "I hope that our sects can work more closely in the future."

"It's our honor." The Great Barren Swordmaster was silent and understood Lin Feng's words. He pondered for a while before nodding his head.

After settling things with the three sword sects, he sent the three of them off from the mountain. Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao returned to the Grand Heavens Pavilion. They greeted him.

Lin Feng nodded his head and laughed, "All of you have been very busy in the Celestial Wonders World, but don't relax, this is also a form of training."

Zhu Yi answered, "Please rest assure, Master. We understand. There's greatness in simplicity. Among all the manuals in the world, we may not have cultivated this one. But experiencing it will also be beneficial."

"That's right." Lin Feng smiled while nodding his head.

Shi Tianhao asked, "Master, we chose the Great Barren Sword Sect instead of the Starry Sword Sect because of the Great Qin Empire?"

After Lin Feng and Zhu Yi heard it, they laughed, "Yes."

In the Nine Heavenly Sword Alliance, all this while, the Intense Flaming Sword Sect and the Sword of Radiance Sword Sect had always been close to Mount Shu. As this generation of Supreme Radiance Swordmaster took over the reins, he slowly changed the stand of his sect and became more neutral.

From the Heavenly Cart Peak Sword Conference to the visit of Mount Yujing to the battle at Xiling City, the Sword of Radiance Sect had slowly been leaning towards the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Among the remaining sects, the Heavenly Master Sword Sect was under the Great Void Sect, the Sun Moon Sword Sect favored the Great Qin Empire and the Vast Sea Sword Sect sided with the Great Zhou Empire. All of them had their own stands.

The Lightning Sword Sect collaborated with the Heavenly Master Sword Sect, whereas the Starry Sword Sect and the Great Barren Sword Sect had always been neutral.

But ever since the Heavenly Cart Peak Sword Conference, the Starry Sword Sect had slowly been drawn over by the Great Qin Empire.

Lin Feng was tearing the Nine Heavenly Sword Alliance apart and drew the Lightning Sword Sect, Sword of Radiance Sect and the Great Barren Sword Sect over to him. Like he always did, whenever he had spoils, he would share them. Since the Great Qin Empire spent a lot of effort on the Starry Sword Sect, he did not help them.

However, in this way, the Starry Sword Sect could not have the priority in enjoying the resources in the Celestial Wonders World.

As the Lightning Swordmaster and the rest left Mount Kunlun, the Celestial Sword Elder and the Starry Swordmaster naturally understood the changes. The Starry Swordmaster was not too bothered. Since he had already made a choice earlier, the change in the situation only increased his determination to rely on the Great Qin Empire.

The Celestial Sword Elder was confused. All along, the Lightning Sword Sect had always been on the same page as the Heavenly Master Sword Sect, but now they ventured in different directions.

At this point, the Celestial Sword Elder had a deeper understanding of the bold moves of Lin Feng during the battle at Xiling City.

The situation in the human cultivation world in the Divine Lands had changed.

The Celestial Sword Elder and the Starry Swordmaster ascended the mountain to visit again. Lin Feng received them courteously too. Even though he set the Lightning Sword Sect and the Sword of Radiance Sword Sect as partners to work with, it did not mean that the Heavenly Master Sword Sect and the Starry Swordmaster could not do business with him.

Even if the Vast Sea Sword Sect and the Sun Moon Sword Sect came, whatever resource trade that had to be done still had to proceed. But in terms of the treatment, price and supply, they would not have it as well as the Lightning Sword Sect naturally.

The Celestial Sword Elder and the rest paid a visit to seek for the priority treatment.

After sending off the Celestial Sect Elder and the rest, Lin Feng had to receive the representatives of the Purple Clouds Sect and the Royal House of the Northern Tribes. On one hand, he accepted their congratulations. On another hand, they became closer working partners with regards to the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Lin Feng's attitude towards these two allies was naturally different. For example, he allowed a set number of disciples from these two powers to come over to the Celestial Wonders World to train for a set period of time.

Similarly, if the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders trained over at the locations of their sects, they would also be afforded more convenience.

The Royal House of the Northern Tribes destroyed the Heaven Lake Sect and controlled the northern borders now. To a certain extent, the North Polar Sea was influenced by them and expended resources in this area to nurture powerful cultivators. Their overall strength was bound to increase significantly.

Much of the resources in the Northern Snow Fields were also offered to the Celestial Sect of Wonders by the Royal House of the Northern Tribes.

The foundation of the Purple Clouds Sect was strong. With regards to the development of Middle Worlds, besides supporting the Jun Family in the Ancient Yuantian World, they were also involved in other Middle Worlds. Some of the resources that the Divine Lands needed, the Purple Clouds Sect had their means of obtaining them.

The ties between the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Purple Clouds Sect were closer, which made it more convenient for them to obtain such resources.

With regards to part of the resources in the Celestial Wonders World, the Purple Clouds Sect and the Royal House of the Northern Tribes did develop some kind of interest. For example, the Purple Clouds also required the Polarity Steel as much as the Great Zhou Empire.

During this period of time, Lin Feng had many tricks up his sleeves. He did not use his powers to dominate and expanded the influence of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

That was why even as Lin Feng faced a magic treasure embryo that could developed into a magic treasure in the destiny realm, he still tried his best to retain the Celestial Wonders World.

Of course, if he wanted to preserve the Celestial Wonders World, he must first have the power to claim it. Otherwise, the other great powers would try to claim their share of the land. Some of them might even collude to kick the Celestial Sect of Wonders out.

If such a Middle World landed in the hands of the Sword of Radiance Sect or the Great Barren Sect, they would be unable to protect it. Even the Purple Clouds Sect and Royal House of the Northern Tribes would be helpless.

And to Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders, this came very timely. After the battle at Xiling City, Lin Feng managed to build his reputation greatly and display his prowess to the world. And the Celestial Wonders World was a perfect fit for the Celestial Sect of Wonders, in terms of its resource abundance.

After making the Celestial Sect of Wonders a sect not just about their fighting powers, not only did it increase the potential of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, it also allowed Lin Feng to possess greater room and chips for operations. This made it easier to gather people around him.

The magic treasure in the destiny realm was important too, but this foundation of the sect could not be left out.

But as to how he should deal with the circular ball at the bottom of the black pond as well as the dilemma of the loss of spiritual energy in the Celestial Wonders World, it was a test of Lin Feng's patience and capabilities.

In this period of time, after receiving a bunch of Immortal Soul Stage Elders who came to visit, Lin Feng remained on Mount Yujing.

Besides the bunch of junior disciples that had to focus on their cultivations, Dao Zhiqiang had already begun on the grand plan of developing the Celestial Wonders World.

The Dual Polarity Peak, Shi Zhongtian, Virtuous Zen Master and Eye-less held the fort at the Celestial Wonders World. No one dared to enter.

Tuntun stayed at the Celestial Worlds. Zhuge Fengling and her Gold-Digging Mouse also stayed there for the long-term, as they felt they had entered Heaven.

As she stayed in the Wasteland Valley, Zhuge Fengling felt that her status and position was a little awkward. Now that she was at the Celestial Wonders World this time, she felt like a fish in water. She had already told Lin Feng and Shi Tianhao that she would prepare to live in the Celestial Wonders World.

The other great powers also expressed how they wanted to collaborate in the future and started to send out applications to send people in to explore the production of the mines and spiritual herbs. This was to facilitate their understanding of the specific details with regards to their collaboration.

But their applications were rejected. Along with the fact that they had an agreement with the Great Qin Empire and their own people were still exploring the place, the Celestial Sect of Wonders requested to stop any more visits into the Celestial Wonders World.

This world had already been claimed by the Celestial Sect of Wonders. It was natural for them to protect it. The other great powers also guarded their own resource facilities very tightly.

But if this was maintained for a long time, there would be those who would realize that something was amiss and guess that the Celestial Wonders World contained a darker secret.

On Mount Yujing, Lin Feng revealed a smile on his face, "Don't let me down."

Chapter 639: Best of Both Worlds

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

On one hand, Lin Feng was preparing for the Celestial Wonders World. On another hand, Lin Feng was taking care of Xiao Yan.

On Mount Yujing, within an area of Purple Clouds, Xiao Yan sat within a sea of Pure Yang Primordial Fire.

Around his body, the four appearances cultivated from the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire, Grand Sun Primordial Fire, Nanming Primordial Fire and the Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze also surfaced in the sea of fire.

Outside the Purple Clouds, Lin Feng was also watching this scene quietly. Beside him, there was a young lady in green that sat on her knees. She was Xiao Zhener. She was also summoning her own cultivation. Within her pupils, golden flames flashed continuously.

The golden flames in her eyes that flashed the colors of red and blue had a rhythm that was the same as the fire around Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan opened his eyes and looked at Lin Feng, "Master, I am ready."

Lin Feng laughed while nodding his head," Go and do it then."

Xiao Yan shouted crisply and his Aurous Core started to spin. His state of mind became in line with void space and he could feel the attention the Heavens and Earth placed on him.

As his powers were summoned to the extreme, without any warning, a crack appeared in void space. A beam of twisted lightning was striking Xiao Yan's head!

Lin Feng retracted his powers. As the Void Lightning Tribulations arrived, the help of anyone outside was only detrimental. The cultivator could only depend on himself now.

Without Lin Feng to relieve his pressure now, the five Primordial Fires around Lin Feng started to become unstable. But he did not panic. He summoned the Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtues. Firstly, the Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams stabilized the Pure Yang Primordial Fire. Step by step, the Pure Yang Primordial Fire was used as the foundation to summon the Four Appearances Heaven-Cleaving Script and guided the other four Primordial Fires.

Right now, Xiao Yan was like an outstanding charioteer that was guiding a horse cart. The cart was connected to five steeds, which burst onto the mountainous roads.

At the sides of the road were cliffs. If one was not prudent, he would fall over the cliff and crush his bones.

"He must be experiencing the most dangerous tribulation ever." Lin Feng seemed a little more serious and stared at Xiao Yan.

No one could help in the overcoming of the Void Lightning Tribulations. But if he was really in a crisis, Lin Feng was confident of protecting Xiao Yan's life. But to Lin Feng, this was still very dangerous.

This was a challenge with high risk but high rewards. If he lost, then he could be bankrupt. In just an instant, Xiao Yan would fall from glory into the deepest pit of misfortune.

But if he won, he would be a major victor. Not only would he form the Nascent Soul, his powers would also be different. With the five Primordial Fires helping him to form the Nascent Soul, his powers would become extraordinary.

"What's that old saying?" Lin Feng stared at Lin Feng while thinking, "Either you win everything, or lose everything!"

But Xiao Yan seemed to be able to withstand the test. He had been nurturing his powers for a long time, allowing him to become an outstanding charioteer who could command five premium steeds. Not only did he tame them, he even formed a path for himself on the road.

Now it seemed like the trouble that the Nanming Primordial Fire caused initially had benefitted Xiao Yan greatly in his life of cultivation. Its effects were far-reaching.

Ever since he promoted to the Advanced Stage of the Aurous Core Stage and controlled four Primordial Fires to the five Primordial Fires he now used to form the Nascent Soul, he had to be grateful for the times when he was dormant. Not only did it train his state of mind, it also gave him a deeper understanding of his powers.

It was like an extraordinary iron that had been grinded to become even stronger and tougher.

However, everyone had their limits. As time passed, the five Primordial Fires became more ferocious and showed signs of losing control.

To Xiao Yan who was in the Aurous Core Stage, he could still control the five Primordial Fires.

But at this point, the Void Lightning Tribulations gradually stopped and a clear light shone above Xiao Yan's head. The Aurous Core rose gradually and released a bright flame.

Within the bright flame, the figure of a small infant appeared. It was his Nascent Soul.

Xiao Yan had overcome the Void Lightning Tribulations and formed the Nascent Soul successfully!

As the Nascent Soul was formed, the state of Xiao Yan's powers changed and the previous pressure that he felt had disappeared.

The infant that looked 70-80% similar to Xiao Yan when he was younger waved and a white flame surged below his body suddenly. It was as if a lotus seat was propping him up.

The Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze converted into the appearance of the Jade Green Dragon, the Grand Sun Primordial Fire converted into the appearance of the Blood Red Sparrow, the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire converted into the appearance of Great White Tiger and the Nanming Primordial Fire converted into the appearance of a Genbu. They surrounded the infant and circulated, unleashing an immense power.

In the next moment, the infant went back into Xiao Yan's head. Xiao Yan opened his eyes and looked at Lin Feng and Xiao Zhener. He laughed, "Master, Zhener, I have done it!"

Lin Feng laughed while nodding his head, "Finally, you are out of danger." Xiao Zhener also laughed slightly, "Congratulations on forming the Nascent Soul."

"Congratulations to your Immediate Disciple, Xiao Yan, on forming the Nascent Soul."

At the same time, Lin Feng heard from the system, "Since your Immediate Disciple has formed the Nascent Soul, you shall be given a system reward. Among all the magic treasures in the gestation realm that you have now, you can choose one of them to promote to the metaplasia realm. But your natal magic treasure cannot be part of it." (Translator's Note: The natal magic treasure is a magic treasure that is very tightly linked to one's cultivation and has an impact on the life of the cultivator.)

"I have always been rewarded with an increase into the next minor realm in the past." Lin Feng thought, "The Immortal Soul Stage Third Level is equivalent to the gap in realm between the major realms under the Immortal Soul Stage. As Xiao Yan and the others form the Nascent Soul, they can't ensure my promotion to the Immortal Soul Second Level."

"In fact, for a magic treasure to increase a realm, sometimes it's more difficult than human cultivation. Since I am allowed to increase the realm of my magic treasure, it's not a bad idea too." Lin Feng did not mind that his Bell of Destiny could not be promoted to the next realm. The Bell of Destiny was his natal magic treasure. But he was also looking forward to the day when the Bell of Destiny reached the Mahayana realm, as he wanted to witness its powers.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, "Whichever magic treasure to promote, it's not important now. When the time comes, let me see if I can get something more suitable from the system."

After Xiao Yan formed the Nascent Soul, he retreated again to nurture his Nascent Soul and powers.

And before Lin Feng went to the Celestial Wonders World, in this period of time, besides protecting Xiao Yan, he was also calculating the momentum of the flow of spiritual energy inside the Celestial Wonders World.

This calculation was very precise. Even a normal Immortal Soul First Level and Second Level cultivator could not calculate it till so precisely. Only Lin Feng could do it.

During this period of time, those who entered the Celestial Wonders World to develop it followed Lin Feng's instructions and begun their preparations beforehand.

Lin Feng came to the Celestial Wonders World and felt the movement of spiritual energy. He nodded at Dao Zhiqiang and the rest, "Well done."

Dao Zhiqiang bowed towards him and said, "I wouldn't want to delay your plans."

Lin Feng conjured a spell as his clasped his palms together. A change happened in the Celestial Wonders World and countless talismanic prints surged, forming a huge formation. This caused the entire Middle World to be engulfed. It was the Two Elements of Creation Formation.

The twelve magic treasures drove it together and the Two Elements of Creation Formation summoned a frightening power. This caused the entire Middle World to tremble and the spiritual energy inside the world started to be in a disarray.

The Dual Polarity Peak, Virtuous Zen Master, Shi Zhongtian and Eye-less received Lin Feng's notice beforehand and were mentally prepared. The circular ball underneath the black pond was alarmed and streaks of powerful aura were released.

As a magic treasure embryo of a magic treasure in the destiny realm, the supernatural awareness of the circular ball was enhanced. Normally, it was almost one entity with the Celestial Wonders World. It did not show itself. Only when something major happened did it have any reaction.

Everything that was happening now was an example.

The spells conjured by Lin Feng kept on changing. Waves and waves of mana were injected into the Two Elements of Creation Formation, summoning it to the extreme.

The immense power of the reversal of the two elements expanded, causing the entire Celestial Wonders World to be twisted.

The circular ball at the bottom of the black pond became more and more agitated. As Lin Feng summoned the Two Elements of Creation Formation, he also tried to pacify the circular ball.

As the supernatural awareness of both parties communicated, the circular ball sensed the power concept of the Two Elements of Creation Formation and understood slowly.

Lin Feng wanted to infuse the Two Elements of Creation Formation with the Celestial Wonders World before using the power of the reversal of the two elements to achieve a balance in the flow of spiritual energy between the circular ball and the Celestial Wonders World. After that, he would connect with the Greater Worlds on the outside.

He would use the spiritual energy of the Greater Worlds outside to continue supplying the black pond and the circular pond, allowing them to grow and mature.

The circular ball was nurtured within the Celestial Wonders World. Whether it was successful in developing in the future, it was difficult to predict. Before it matured, the spiritual energy in the Celestial Wonders World might have already been depleted.

Whereas the spiritual energy in the Celestial Wonders World was very nourishing and no such concerns were present.

As he involved the circular ball within the system of spiritual energy of the Greater Worlds, the Celestial Wonders World could also be preserved. This was the best of both worlds.

The circular ball stabilized gradually and watched as things changed. As it looked at Lin Feng summoning the Two Elements of Creation Formation, it allowed the black pond and itself to be infused within the recycling system of the power of the two elements. It watched as the boundaries between the Celestial Wonders World and the Greater Worlds were blurred.

This was bound to be a long process. Lin Feng had to control the Two Elements of Creation Formation carefully.

However, after a few days, the Dual Polarity Peak felt someone approaching from the other side of the boundary pathway between the Celestial Wonders World and the Void Battleground.

The other party was powerful and was an elder in the Immortal Soul Third Level. He destroyed the seal that the Dual Polarity Peak placed on the boundary pathway and came closer to the Celestial Wonders World.

This person did not intend to enter the Celestial Wonders World and seemed to be only confirming the exact position of the Celestial Wonders World in void space. He wanted to prevent the Celestial Wonders World from disappearing amidst the space-time turbulence.

After confirming its position, he did not cross over.

The Dual Polarity Peak approached, but he summoned a streak of black light and caused a huge upheaval in the Heavens and Earth, blurring the lines of life and death.

"Very strong!" The expression of the Dual Polarity Peak changed and knew that he was not as powerful as the other party, "He seems to be from the Hall of the Dead, but he is more powerful than King Qinguang and the other Hall of the Dead cultivators."

Chapter 640: The Broken Celestial Wonders World

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

From the outside, the other party seemed like a ball of black gas that had formed into a human shape. The vibration of his mana was very strong and his size could not be determined in void space.

But as the Dual Polarity Peak summoned the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain to face the enemy, he could discover that the human figure formed by this black gas was much bigger than the size of the mountain. From the looks of it, it was very deadly.

This enemy summoned black light to block the Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain from moving, before unleashing another streak of destructive black light against the Celestial Wonders World.

Lin Feng's expression did not change and he summoned the Two Elements of Creation Formation. The entire Celestial Wonders World seemed to have been engulfed by a layer of light, leaving the frightening black light on the outside.

Under the power of the Two Element of Creation Formation, from void space, it could be seen that the Celestial Wonders World was twisting and seemed to have been separated into two parts, like a gourd or hourglass.

Lin Feng turned his head, "Xuan Li?"

She stepped out from quietly behind him and stepped into void space, and exited the Celestial Wonders World from the boundary pathway.

Xuan Li slapped the sword casket behind her and the sword casket was activated. Countless streaks of clear light shot out immediately.

This clear light was nothing compared to the black light, but it had a different domineering concept of destruction.

As Xuan Li drew her sword, a devastating cut was opened in void space. Boundless vital energy was wasted and all life was hurt from the ensuing cut.

The enemy struck his palm and caused the Dual Polarity Peak to retreat. After that, he used his hands to summon streaks of black light, converting them into raging waves that approached the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi.

The black light was chopped by the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi, but the raging light wave quickly recovered and converted into a huge whirlpool that could engulf the entire Celestial Wonders World. It was trying to trap the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi.

Xuan Li's black pupils started to surface crimson blood. Her sword mind became more devastating and her killing intent filled the skies.

The giant formed by the black gas said, "Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, you are indeed as powerful as they claim that you are. To defeat you, I have no confidence, but if you want to protect this world, you can't do it."

Protection was always passive. Under the circumstance where both parties were not that far off from each other in terms of their powers, the one attacking had more to gain than the one protecting.

As he was saying, the giant broke down in void space and converted into a ball of black clouds. Within the black clouds, there was a subtle flash of radiance and a frightening aura was emanated.

As the aura was emanated, regardless whether it was the Dual Polarity Peak or Shi Zhongtian and the rest, their expressions changed. It was because they could sense the aura of a magic treasure in the destiny realm!

Even the circular ball in the Celestial Wonders World started to shake vigorously.

Lin Feng sensed for a while before shaking his head, "It's not a magic treasure in the destiny realm, but..."

Amidst the black clouds, a frightening radiance was unleashed, converting into a thick beam of light that filled the skies. The stature threatened to pierce through the entire Greater Worlds. Within the light beam, as black figures flashed, many independent small worlds seemed to be contained within it.

Every independent world seemed to contain a miraculous power concept. As the various independent worlds overlapped on each other, they did not combine but achieved a miraculous resonance. This caused the power of the beam to become extremely frightening.

It was as if the entire Great Tao was threatened and was about to be crushed.

Xuan Li did not speak and her long hair swayed behind her. Her pupils were completely red at this point.

The clear light from the Heaven-Destroying Sword soared and reached its extreme. A streak of blood red sword radiance surged and started to attack the enemy.

Amidst the black clouds, streaks and streaks of grey light circulated and formed a Tao fruit. It was half white and half black, but was not the consolidation of the powers of Yin and Yang. But it was the consolidation of the power of life and death. (Translator's Note: The Tao fruit mentioned here refers to a tangible product of the mantras and abhijnas used.)

On the blacker half of the Tao fruit, a radiance flashed and a human figure appeared gradually. It was the appearance of an elder with a long beard. He looked sharp and his sword aura shot through the Nine Heavens. It was as if it was an invincible, heavenly sword. It wanted to tear apart the Heavens and Earth.

The figure of the elder walked out from the blacker half of the Tao fruit and in the next moment, he transferred to the whiter side.

As he reached the whiter side, the figure of the elder started to turn from an illusion to reality. The frightening sword mind of his thrived and his index finger became straight as a sword. Immediately, a streak of bright sword radiance flew out and attacked Xuan Li's blood red Heaven-Destroying Sword sword radiance.

As if two swords clashed, the sword radiance of the elder was chopped by the sword radiance of the Heaven-Destroying Sword and the sword radiance of the Heaven-Destroying Sword continued to leave a remarkable sword trail as it slashed, causing the elder to be killed.

As the Heaven-Destroying Sword sword radiance continued to advance and prepared to destroy the Tao fruit of the enemy, from the black clouds, the grey lights circulated again and formed another Tao fruit. It was also half white and half black. On the blacker side of the fruit, another human figure surfaced.

This figure was no longer the elder again. It was a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar.

This man held a stack of books in his hands and started to recite words. Immediately, his voice filled the entire void space and a noble power concept started to spread. As the radiance on the Tao fruit continued to flash, the man also transferred from the blacker side to the white side.

He seemed to become real and he walked out. Countless Tao literary words converted into a perfect chapter and approached the Heaven-Destroying Sword sword radiance.

Both parties collided in void space and the literary words were destroyed. And after the blood red sword radiance had attacked the enemy, its powers were also used up.

A voice resonated from the black clouds, "Good, this sword of yours has the potential to reach the destiny realm. If you grind it properly and successfully, I'm afraid it's indeed a magic treasure in the destiny realm.

As Dual Polarity Peak watched from one side, he was shocked, "This person is unafraid of the Heaven-Destroying Sword. With his powers, I believe he is not beneath Xin Longsheng or Kuang Heng."

Moreover, although he was taking up a defensive stance as he faced Xuan Li, it did not affect his attack on the Celestial Wonders World on the other side.

The light beam previously had already pierced through the boundary powers of the Celestial Wonders World and started an intense clash with the Two Elements of Creation Formation. It was threatening to destroy the Two Elements of Creation Formation and the Celestial Wonders World.

"Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, you captured and killed the Hall of the Dead cultivators. You shall pay with this world." Within the black clouds, a deep voice rang in void space.

A human figure was hidden within the black clouds. Since it was neither bright or dark, he could not be recognized easily.

In front of this guy, there was a book that had been flipped open and was floating in mid-sky.

The power of the light beam became more and more powerful and attacked the Two Elements of Creation Formation until it was almost down.

"Although it is not yet in the destiny realm, its powers are already close." Lin Feng shook his head slightly. He had used the Two Elements of Creation Formation against the Great Void Pavilion before, thus he had a good grasp of the level of power of the enemy now.

To a certain extent, the enemy's attack could rival the Heaven-Destroying Sword now and was even more powerful than the Imperial Palace at the Cloud Forest World.

The incomplete Immortal Dragon City was also very powerful. But it was mainly displayed in terms of its defensive powers. Its offensive powers were not outstanding among magic treasures on the same level.

But now, the Heaven-Destroying Sword was reliant on Xuan Li to command it and not Lin Feng. Lin Feng's effort was expended on the Celestial Wonders World. He could not match up to his enemy, who was one with his magic treasure.

The enemy used his Tao fruit to resist the Heaven-Destroying sword, but did not seem to go easy on his attack over at Lin Feng's side.

As what he said, in the face of such a powerful offense, Lin Feng could find it easy to protect himself. But if he wanted to protect the Celestial Wonders World, there was some level of difficulty.

But as Lin Feng felt the change in power from within, he thought of something else.

"Oh, you came at the right time. You are doing me a huge favor. This can perfect my plan." Lin Feng's thoughts flashed quickly in his head. A bolder plan was forming in his head now.

Lin Feng laughed sarcastically at the attack of the enemy, "I had this plan since earlier, but it's a pity that I had to command the Two Elements of Creation Formation. And Xuan Li's powers are still lacking a little. I had no choice but to retreat and carry out this plan.

"Since you have invited yourself, you have fulfilled this plan."

Lin Feng clasped his palms and the Two Elements of Creation Formation wrapped around the Celestial Wonders World in void space and retreated. It was as if it could not handle the attack of the enemy.

The book in front of the figure in the black clouds flipped a page suddenly. The force of the light beam attacking the Celestial Wonders World started to become more ferocious. A small world within the light beam started to collapse and destruct.

The explosive force in this instant was comparable to a true magic treasure in the destiny realm.

And the spot that the light beam chose to attack was the point where the power of the two element twisted.

While those inside the Celestial Wonders World could not feel the change in space, from the outside, the entire world had already twisted into a shape whereby it was thicker at the ends and thin in the center, just like an hourglass.

The center, which was the smallest area, was also the area where the twisting force was the greatest. It was also the rendezvous point of the two contrasting forces.

Just like the bearing in the center of a millstone, the position where the light beam chose was exactly in the center of the hourglass. Over here, the brutal force exploded out and destroyed the Two Elements of Creation Formation!

In a blink of an eye, the huge Middle World broke into two with this particular point as the area where the break occurred.

The people inside the Celestial Wonders World could not react in time, but the Dual Polarity Peak could carefully see things and was shocked. But following that, he realized that something was not right.

The person in the black clouds was also surprised, "You..."

"I have to thank you." Inside the Celestial Wonders World, Lin Feng's voice resonated. The radiance of the Two Elements of Creation Formation flashed again. The intersecting black and white radiance flashed non-stop and they were connected at the center of the two sides of the world where the break had occurred.

Boundless space overlapped over one another and changes occurred. The power of the Two Elements of Creation Formation protected the Celestial Wonders World, preventing it from splitting which could cause the entire world to collapse.

At the same time, Purple Clouds surged in void space. Mount Yujing descended.

Chapter 641: Mount Yujing, Yin-Yang Sea

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Mount Yujing descended into void space. The branches of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree shook and broke through boundless space. Vigorous Purple Clouds extended in all directions.

After the Celestial Wonders World split into two, the space within one of them changed and the size of it shrank.

Lin Feng injected streaks and streaks of mana within it. Under the effect of the Two Elements of Creation Formation, the flow of spiritual energy in this half of the world that had presumably collapsed started to achieve resonance with Mount Yujing.

Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds started to engulf this half of the Celestial Wonders World.

The Purple Clouds surged and surrounded Mount Yujing and this half of the Celestial Wonders World. Following that, outside the Purple Clouds, a colorful light circle appeared and formed a perfect ball shape.

Mount Yujing, the Purple Clouds, the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and this half of the Celestial Wonders World were all engulfed by this huge light ball.

Although Lin Feng was not on the mountain, his supernatural awareness achieved resonance with Mount Yujing. Mount Yujing seemed to have become a world on its own and infused this half of the Celestial Wonders World within it.

On the surface of the huge light ball, countless talismanic words appeared and absorbed the spiritual energy of the Greater Worlds into it.

The space boundaries that belonged to the Celestial Wonders World became blurred and combined with the Greater Worlds. The boundary powers disappeared and unlimited black water surged out, converting into a huge sea.

The black water was chilly to the bones and engulfed all light. With its strong Yin aura, it nurtured Pure Yin, extreme chill and darkness, these three power concepts. They were even in a very deep state.

But in the center of the black sea, there seemed to be something which was Yang in aura that existed. It exuded boundless light and was opposing the black sea. As Yin and Yang intersected, they did not bother each other.

The vast black sea was underneath Mount Yujing. As they relied on each other, they were very harmonious. They were like a pair of holy mountain and divine sea from the immemorial times. The view was majestic.

Purple Clouds floated above the sea and engulfed Mount Yujing and the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree.

The mountain and the sea were both covered by the huge light ball, as if it was a new plot of land.

The spiritual energy of the Greater Worlds was supplied to the black sea continuously, giving birth to even more golden-eyed black fishes. As per the previous model, the spiritual energy nourished the circular ball in the middle of the black sea, in the hope that it would mature earlier.

At this point, the circular ball stabilized and the black sea and Mount Yujing combined together.

After ending this guidance of powers, Lin Feng retracted the powers of the Two Elements of Creation Formation and stabilized the other half of the Celestial Wonders World.

For the remaining half of the Celestial Wonders World, Lin Feng used the Two Elements of Creation Formation to heal the boundary powers and sealed them slowly.

The twisted space recovered and the balance of the flow of spiritual energy that this world lost was also restored.

The internal regions of the world did not seem to have changed. As the Two Elements of Creation Formation shifted space, only the black pond, along with the circular ball, were separated from the Celestial Wonders World.

Nothing changed for the rest and they were as complete as before.

Initially, Lin Feng only wanted to change the flow of spiritual energy within the black pond, bringing the spiritual energy from the Greater Worlds into the Celestial Wonders World to nourish the circular ball and replace the spiritual energy that was supplied by the Celestial Wonders World itself.

But this was unstable. Furthermore, it required Lin Feng to spend time and effort to watch over it. It even needed the Two Elements of Creation Formation to stay further in the Celestial Wonders World, so as to support such a system until the circular ball becomes mature.

And right now, everything was completed in one move. There were no after-effects. The black pond and the circular ball were both separated from the Celestial Wonders World and relied on Mount Yujing, receiving spiritual energy from the Greater Worlds.

Whereas the Celestial Wonders World became independent and was nothing different from the rest of the Middle Worlds. It continued to follow its path and operated the way it was supposed to.

When the damaged boundary powers of the Celestial Wonders World were healed and stabilized, Lin Feng could also retract the Two Elements of Creation Formation and the formation did not have to be restrained anymore.

Within the Celestial Wonders World, Lin Feng laughed, "I have to thank you."

As he said, he had already left the Celestial Wonders World. Above him, clear light shone and Mount Yujing disappeared behind void space, bringing about a lot of pressure.

Xuan Li also retreated behind Lin Feng, but her sword mind was still targeting the enemy.

The figure in the black clouds was silent for a while, before he spoke, "Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, what a move."

"That black sea came from this Middle World and contains a lot of things. It actually contains the aura of a magic treasure in the destiny realm?" That person was curious and looked at Lin Feng and Mount Yujing.

Lin Feng looked at him and said, "Your book also contains the aura of a magic treasure in the destiny realm. I am also curious."

As he said, he slapped the sword casket behind Xuan Li and Xuan Li combined with the sword casket. Lin Feng retrieved the Heaven-Destroying Sword and a black and white radiance shone on Lin Feng's body, plating a layer of it on the Heaven-Destroying Sword.

Singing voices rung in void space. Lin Feng waved his sword and a streak of the Heaven-Destroying Sword sword radiance that contained the Holy Light of Creation shot out, piercing through the skies and tore the black clouds apart.

The figure in the black clouds slapped the book in front of him and the book flipped. As it flipped, many small worlds surged out and stacked on one another. They formed a barrier and blocked off Lin Feng's sword radiance.

Amidst a boom, the barrier broke and the sword radiance disappeared. The shockwave from the collision expanded and swept the entire void space.

Even as a magic treasure in the Mahayana realm, the Dual Polarity Peak had to take the shockwave that spread seriously.

Mount Yujing revealed a radiance and achieved resonance with the Two Elements of Creation Formation. They kept the expanding shockwave away.

With Mount Yujing as protection, Lin Feng was not afraid of destroying the Celestial Wonders World as he fought the enemy.

As the collision ended, half a page of paper floated in void space. It was as if a light spot had tear the page into half, revealing that Lin Feng emerged victorious.

Because of this collision, the black clouds disappeared and converted into black gas. As they spread in void space, they dissipated soon.

"If I can obtain the treasure in the black sea and cultivate the Life and Death Book using it, the Life and Death Book can be successfully cultivated. It can then become a true magic treasure in the destiny realm. It can even be one of the best among those in the destiny realm."

A deep voice resonated in void space and the echo became higher in pitch.

Lin Feng laughed, "It's the same logic when you reverse it."

He extended his hand and took the torn page into his hands. This torn page revealed a concentrated aura of destiny and a powerful force that kept on vibrating.

Although it was torn, the might within was already above a normal magic treasure.

"With the black sea and the circular ball, Mount Yujing seems to be in a new type of environment. As a result, I can't exactly infuse my Immortal Soul within, otherwise I can keep him here." Lin Feng shook his head and suppressed that half a page. "However, with this thing, it's a delightful surprise for me."

He figured out the power concept within and remember the Tao fruit that he exhibited when he fought Xuan Li. Through that, he gained a deeper understanding of the cultivation of the Hall of the Dead.

Lin Feng revealed a smile on his face, "By observing him, I believe he is a top cultivator in the Hall of the Dead. He may be the leader of the Hall of the Dead, but the unfinished magic treasure of his belongs to someone else."

"Interesting, very interesting."

Lin Feng flicked his sleeves and brought Xuan Li and the Dual Polarity Peak back into the Celestial Wonders World. He summoned the Two Elements of Creation Formation, which continued to stabilize the boundary powers of the Celestial Wonders World, allowing them to heal more quickly and seal shut completely.

Shi Zhongtian, the Virtuous Zen Master and the rest had a deeper impression of the flow of spiritual energy in the Middle World. Right now, they could feel that the flow of spiritual energy in the Celestial Wonders World had changed completely. The signs of deterioration of the spiritual energy in the mines and medicine valley had completely disappeared.

The problem that plagued the Celestial Wonders World had been resolved. From now on, the Celestial Wonders World was the same as other Middle Worlds.

As long as the resources, herbs and medicines were not overly mined and the state of the mines and medicine valley were preserved, then they could be used for a long time.

The Celestial Wonders World was going to become the foundation of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. It would aid the Celestial Sect of Wonders in the future to consolidate their powers and resources, allowing them to achieve growth and development.

With regards to Lin Feng, Shi Zhongtian had only heard Shi Tianhao's description of him from the start. Only when he dived into the black pond with the Heaven-Bearing Emperor did he get to know him better.

Just his physical spell body's powers were enough to make him fearful. And he had not even made a move on his own yet.

And as Lin Feng separated the circular ball from the Celestial Wonders World, Shi Zhongtian was able to witness Lin Feng's methods.

When the enemy attacked, he became the knife in Lin Feng's hand and helped him instead.

Shi Zhongtian thought to himself, "I was still thinking how to resolve the dilemma between the magic treasure embryo and the resources of the Celestial Wonders World. I did not expect such a result. The leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders must have known what to do then, thus he was confident."

Lin Feng looked at the Dual Polarity Peak and the Virtuous Zen Master, "From today onwards, the both of you shall hold the fort at the Celestial Wonders World."

"We are embarrassed." The Dual Polarity Peak and the Virtuous Zen Master said at the same time. "We are scared that we can't fulfil our role properly, but we'll do our best."

Lin Feng shook his head and laughed, "No worries, I will watch from here."

He turned his head to look at Eye-less, "What about you? Are you staying here, or are you returning to Mount Yujing with me."

After pausing for a moment, Lin Feng continued saying, "The black pond that you lived in has now become a sea. It is reliant on my mountain now."

"From today onwards, this shall be named the Yin-Yang Sea. It will be one entity with Mount Yujing."

Eye-less thought for a while before saying, "I still want to guide my fellow species. I shall return to the mountain with you."

Lin Feng laughed, "Since this is the case, then let's go."

After returning to Mount Yujing, he looked at the black sea and thought, "Not only does the power of the Yin-Yang Sea nourish that magic treasure embryo, as Yin and Yang exists together, it will also be very beneficial for Mount Yujing. This is another example of one stone killing two birds. Very good, very good."

After the problem of the Celestial Wonders World had been resolved, Lin Feng felt good, but something made him feel weird.

After the Hall of the Dead realized the existence of the circular ball, Lin Feng thought that they would spread news of it to the outside world and cause trouble to the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Lin Feng even had a plan to manage it already. But who knew time had passed but everything was still quiet.

Chapter 642: The Start of a New Era

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

As the Hall of the Dead did not leak the news, Lin Feng's plans had been ruined.

"It seems like there's some kind of big plan." Lin Feng shook his head while laughing.

After settling the problem of the magic treasure embryo, the development of the Celestial Wonders World was able to proceed smoothly.

After a round of selection, the other great powers were also allowed to enter the world.

Lin Feng separated the Celestial Wonders World and the circular ball. As for the battle, although it happened in void space and ended quickly, it still managed to alarm a few Immortal Soul Stage Elders.

Many of them were alarmed, but they were unclear of the detailed situation. They were only making guesses.

Only those on Mount Yujing realized that a new, vast black sea had appeared at the foot of Mount Yujing. While they were shocked, they were also awed by it.

The Yin-Yang Sea was claimed as a forbidden ground by Lin Feng temporarily. Besides a selected few people who could enter, no one else were allowed in. They could only watch it from afar.

After Lin Feng returned to Mount Yujing, Shi Tianhao asked curiously, "Master, the enemy is from the Hall of the Dead?"

"That's right, and I believe he is one of the top cultivators in the Hall of the Dead." Lin Feng turned his head to look at his own disciples, "All of you may meet someone like this in the future. All of you must be prepared for it."

Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao and the rest nodded their heads. Wang Lin said, "That person cultivated a Tao fruit. I believe that he must be in the Immortal Soul Third Level. He is so strong that the Dual Polarity Peak Elder is not his match."

Lin Feng nodded his head, "That's right, this person cultivates the orthodox mantras of the Emperor of the Dead. The Tao fruit that he cultivated is the legendary Life and Death Netherworld Tao Fruit."

"The human figure that appeared from the Tao fruit feels weird." Wang Lin raised his brows, "The moment when he switched from black to white, the human figure seemed real. His powers are very strong."

Lin Feng said, "That is indeed the effect of the Life and Death Netherworld Tao fruit. He can cultivate the dead cultivators that he killed into evil spirits, preserving their cultivation and powers."

"To a certain extent, it is similar to the Unholy Marionette summoned by the River Styx Primordial Water. But it is much stronger, as the Life and Death Netherworld Fruit can allow the evil spirits to convert into real humans for a short period of time."

"In fact, the River Styx Sect is the one of the sects which inherited the orthodox mantras of the Emperor of the Dead, but they ended during the Middle Ages as they were destroyed."

Everyone was shocked, "They have really resurrected?"

The River Styx Nirvana Mantra summoned by the River Styx Primordial Water originated from the already perished demonic arts sect, the River Styx Sect. The secret manual spell, the Unholy Marionette, could help to cultivate a person's soul into a puppet that listened to its master's orders.

The puppet could retain its memories and awareness, but it would be under the control of the cultivator that exhibited the spell.

But for the Unholy Marionette, it could only control the soul and not the flesh. While the powers of the dead were preserved, there was always going to be a con to it.

Especially since the Unholy Marionette could only cultivate those below the realm of the Immortal Soul Stage into puppets. For those in the Immortal Soul Stage, it was useless.

Whereas the Life and Death Netherworld Tao fruit could cultivate the dead Immortal Soul Stage cultivators into evil spirits.

The two Life and Death Netherworld Tao Fruits that Xuan Li fought against contained one elder and one scholarly middle-aged man.

The both of them were in the Immortal Soul Third Level!

But after they were killed, they were engulfed and cultivated by the Life and Death Netherworld Tao Fruit. They were even briefly resurrected and fought with Xuan Li.

"This person's mantras are not cultivated to their extremes yet." Lin Feng said, "The powers of the two Immortal Soul Stage cultivators that were cultivated into evil spirits were not fully displayed yet and they were unable to cultivate their own Tao fruits. Otherwise, their powers will be even stronger."

Lin Feng retrieved the torn page of the book and understood the cultivation of the Hall of the Dead better, "The evil spirits cultivated within the Life and Death Netherworld Fruits can switch their allegiance. These two evil spirits should not have been cultivated by the Hall of the Dead cultivator I faced, but he inherited it from someone else. That is why he is unable to summon its full powers."

"But when his cultivation is complete and his powers reaches their peak, he can control them freely."

Even so, Wang Lin and the rest were still shocked. The evil spirits came from two people who had the Immortal Soul Third Level. But they were still killed and cultivated into evil spirits. The orthodox mantras of the Emperor of the Dead were indeed very evil.

Zhu Yi said in a deep voice, "That scholarly middle-aged man possessed powers that resembled the Scholarly Sect from the Antiquity Age."

Lin Feng nodded his head, "The war to overthrow the Emperor of the Dead in the Antiquity Age involved the alliance of the great powers in the Divine Lands. This included the Scholarly Sect. Although they finally overthrew the Emperor of the Dead, the powers of the human cultivation world were also greatly affected. The Scholarly Sect had also weakened during that point in time."

"This scholarly middle-aged man could have died in that war."

Zhu Yi sighed, "Sacrificing his life for an ideal, he is indeed a role model."

Xiao Yan raised his brows, "But Master, where is that elder from? I think he is a sword cultivator. Although he is weaker than the Heaven-Destroying Sword, his sword cultivation is also at the peak. But he does not come from the Mount Shu Sword Sect."

While the Mount Shu Sword Sect was over-domineering, their reputation as the "Sect of Swords" was not a joke. Although the other sword sects had never admitted before, the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi was indeed the ruler of the other swords. This was something that everyone in the Divine Lands recognized.

Only when Lin Feng revealed the Heaven-Destroying Sword did the legend of this sword became destroyed.

Before Lin Feng and the Heaven-Destroying Sword, if an art of swordplay cultivation had to be pointed out to be independent of the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi, or at least independent of the art of swordplay of Mount Shu, there were only the Heavenly Sword of Oblivion and the Great Void Dual Polarity Mystic Sword Mantra that came from the Great Void Sect.

That was why the art of swordplay of that elder caught the attention of Xiao Yan and the rest, as it was very powerful even though it was independent of the art of swordplay of the Mount Shu Sword Sect.

While this elder lost to Xuan Li, he was unable to summon his own Tao fruit, meaning that it was not his full powers yet.

Xuan Li stood behind Lin Feng and remained expressionless and speechless.

"During the Antiquity Age, there was once an extremely powerful sect. They were comparable or even better than the Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Great Thunderclap Temple. They could be mentioned in the same breath as the Great Void Sect. This sect is called the Heaven's Gate." Lin Feng spoke slowly. This was a history from very long ago, but there was no need to hide it. Over time, people heard of this sect but knew nothing about them.

Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao and the rest looked at one another, "We seem to have heard of the name before, but that's just all."

Lin Feng said, "All of you don't know, but it's not unexpected. They were destroyed at the end of the Antiquity Age."

"The Emperor of Violence was overthrown, and soon after, the War Between the Two Worlds ensued. It was a bloody war. Even the Heaven's Gate was destroyed."

Lin Feng's expression did not change and the tone of his voice remained the same, "The treasure of the Heaven's Gate was called the Great Heavenly Wheels. It was a magic treasure in the destiny realm that was very powerful. It suppressed countless worlds and dominated the universe. The Emperor of Violence was overthrown because of it."

"But even this magic treasure could not protect them from the disaster they faced. Eventually, the Heaven's Gate was destroyed and the Great Heavenly Wheels also disappeared." As he said till here, Lin Feng seemed to think of something. He revealed a weird smile on his face but did not continue speaking.

Xiao Yan and the rest were shocked by the devastating destruction at the end of the Antiquity Age.

The Heaven's Gate was as powerful as the Great Void Sect and had many powerful cultivators. They possessed the Great Heavenly Wheels, but they eventually destructed during the big war.

Emperor Tai, who was one of the most powerful emperor, perished at the end of the Primordial Age. Even the founder of the Antiquity Age who had the Imperial Palace and who was extremely resourceful was unable to survive the War Between the Two Worlds.

During the battle at Xiling City, Lin Feng was very mighty. The Celestial Sect of Wonders also had its glory. But as they listened to Lin Feng's recount of history, everyone started to become less excited.

For Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao, they naturally felt less down. On the other hand, they seemed to have been cleansed and became even more mature. They were more determined to increase their powers and enter an era of prosperity.

The end of every ancient era and the start of a new era contained the worst dangers and the best opportunities.

Everyone's gaze was filled with a flame of fearlessness and pride.

Lin Feng looked at their expressions and could not help but laughed. He continued saying, "The most powerful abhijna of the Heaven's Gate then was called the Great Heavenly Mantra. Besides this, there was another secret manual of swordplay."

"This secret manual of swordplay was called the Great Nine Heavens Holy Sword Technique. It's more powerful than the Heavenly Sword of Oblivion and the Great Void Dual Polarity Mystic Sword Mantra and the only art of swordplay that can challenge the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi then."

Lin Feng laughed, "Which of them was stronger was even a subject for debate. Only when the Heaven's Gate was destroyed and disappeared in the long river of history did the Mount Shu Sword Sect lay claim to the fact that the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi was the top art of swordplay in the Divine Lands."

Shi Tianhao nodded his head, "That elder is someone who had cultivated that sword technique, and was cultivated into an evil spirit after he was killed by the Emperor of the Dead or his successor?"

Lin Feng laughed, "That's right."

Everyone nodded their head, "No wonder he's so strong."

Lin Feng followed with, "I just thought of something interesting. When the Heaven's Gate possessed the Great Heavenly Wheels then, they had the thought of cultivating another magic treasure in the destiny realm."

Yang Qing bit his tongue slightly, "Wow, they are unsatisfied even with the Great Heavenly Wheels. They want two of such magic treasures?"

Zhu Yi said, "That's not surprising. The Great Void Sect has the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, but they still want to increase the Formation-Bursting Drum and the Void Yin-Yang Clock to the destiny realm. Since they could not manage both separately, they combined them into the Great Void Pavilion, which is equivalent to the second magic treasure in the destiny realm."

"Increasing one's powers is something no one will avoid." Lin Feng said, "The second magic treasure in the destiny realm that the Heaven's Gate wanted to cultivate was rumored to be based on the prototype of the Great Nine Heavens Holy Sword Technique, gathering the unrivalled sword mind and infusing countless magic treasures. Eventually, a Nine Heavens Sword will be formed."

"But this was only in the conceptual stage. The Nine Heavens Sword was never completed and the Heaven's Gate was destroyed."

Xiao Yan and the rest shook their heads and felt that it was a pity.

"Oh?" Xiao Yan's expression changed. He crushed a Voice-Projecting Crystal and was stunned. He turned to look at Lin Feng, "Master, there's news from outside that Wu Qingrou quitted his position and returned to his hometown."

Chapter 643: Beware of Pedophiles

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Wu Qingrou was not old, thus when he said he wanted to return to his hometown, he meant that he wanted to quit his position.

As he left without a word, this left many people shocked.

Everyone was commenting about how Shi Yu allowed Wu Qingrou to leave so easily.

Naturally, he would try to persuade him on the surface, but anyone could tell that Shi Yu did not mind Wu Qingrou leaving. He might even be a little positive regarding his departure.

This made everyone guess that a conflict must have cropped up between the both of them, and it was one that could not be resolved.

Shi Yu could not give up his throne, thus Wu Qingrou was the one who left.

After Lin Feng received news of this, he wasn't very surprised. On the other hand, he seemed to be enlightened.

As Wu Qingrou left the Great Qin Empire, this proved his guess all along. While his guess had been proven, Lin Feng was not that happy. He only shook his head slightly, "My burden is still great and the way is still very long."

Lin Feng had a few guesses previously. Now that he knew that Wu Qingrou had quitted his position as an official, he was not very bothered.

But right now, Chu Yang was stunned as he heard this news. After he regained his awareness, he revealed a bitter laugh, "Oh my, everything is messed up."

Ever since he revived, Chu Yang was most fearful of Wu Qingrou. He treated him as his arch-enemy.

That was because in his unclear memory, the reason why the Ethereal Mountain Sect was destroyed was because of Wu Qingrou's scheme. He caused the Ethereal Mountain Sect to be caught between Mount Shu and the Great Zhou Empire.

Now, Liang Gan was not assassinated on Mount Kunlun and neither did any conflict occur between the Great Zhou Empire and the Mount Shu Sword Sect.

But Chu Yang dared not relax. That was because the scheme by Wu Qingrou had already taken effect. The Ethereal Mountain Sect became the slave to the Mount Shu Sword Sect, causing his own position to be precarious.

There could not only be the Ethereal Mountain Sect which relied on the Mount Shu Sword Sect. But the reliance of the Ethereal Mountain Sect on the Mount Shu Sword Sect was a scheme designed by Wu Qingrou. At the same time, he managed to control this pawn of his and attained his goal.

Wu Qingrou might have other pawns, but Chu Yang was not privy to these kinds of things. If he wanted evidence, it would be very difficult.

Even if he only had the Ethereal Mountain Sect as his pawn, if Wu Qingrou wanted to force a conflict between the Mount Shu Sword Sect and other great powers, the Ethereal Mountain Sect could re-enact its role as the middle guy between the conflict of the two parties.

But now, Wu Qingrou quitted his position as the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Empire. His whereabouts were unknown too. This left Chu Yang a little confused, as he did not know how to proceed.

If Wu Qingrou was dead, Chu Yang could heave a sigh of relief. But who knew where Wu Qingrou went? What is he plotting? Was the Ethereal Mountain Sect still in his scheme?

All this became an unknown. What made Chu Yang stressed was that the original situation kept Wu Qingrou in the light, while he was in the dark. Wu Qingrou did not know that there was a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator who was disrupting his plans all along.

That was why Chu Yang had room to manage things, informing Liang Gan of the threat, allowing the assassination attempt to be avoided.

But now, Wu Qingrou had gone from light to dark. Chu Yang was now unaware of whatever that was happening.

Chu Yang left his residence and roamed the streets of Shazhou County. There was a bustling crowd on the streets, but to Chu Yang, they did not seem to exist.

He just walked quietly and out of Shazhou County, coming to a barren desert.

Chu Yang stepped on the sand and squinted to look at the Sun above him. He finally stopped and stood there without moving.

After a long while, Chu Yang suddenly moved. He twisted his neck and look afar. He could roughly see the mountains.

It was in the direction of Mount Kunlun.

Chu Yang spat out his breath, "Everything is different!"

This world was different from the world in his memory.

"In fact, it's rather nice." Chu Yang laughed all of a sudden. "The Ethereal Mountain Sect is fine, while Qingwu has also averted disaster. Furthermore, there's someone powerful protecting her. Among the three things that I miss most, I have settled two of them. Isn't this what I have been dreaming of?"

He looked in the direction of Mount Kunlun and mumbled, "All this change came from the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. His sudden rise and extreme powers caused all this."

"Wu Qingrou disappeared and no one knows when he will appear next and what he will do next." Chu Yang mocked himself, "I am worrying so much all because I am as powerful as the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

"Otherwise, I will kill Wu Qingrou easily and end things quickly."

"To mold an iron, one must be strong too. Because of time constraints, I did not have enough time. Right now, while I don't know how much time I have, but how can I not grasp it properly and try to improve myself?"

Chu Yang stood straight and looked up into the Heavens.

"The three things that I miss most, or rather, in my memory, in my dream state, among the three things that I have the most regret for, I will complete the last one on my own. This is to protect the Ethereal Mountain Sect and Qingwu!"

Chu Yang looked in the direction of Mount Kunlun. Over there, the person he missed most was there. Ever since he awoke, he had been finding her. He knew where she was, but still had not met her till this day.

As he camped at Shazhou County, besides improving ties with the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Chu Yang had always been hoping to meet the person that he missed.

But he changed his mind now. He did not want to be a headless goose, chasing a memory that had already disappeared. Since everything was different, he should carve a new path out for himself. While the road might be tough to embark on, he must still do it.

"Wu Qingrou, I must thank you. Your sudden disappearance caused me to become anxious, but has deepened my resolve too." Chu Yang laughed, "I may not know if you will ever appear or when you will appear. But when you do, I will be different."

"Thank you for giving me time. I want to use this time to race you and this different world."

Chu Yang seemed to have changed. He was still the same person with the same cultivation, but he seemed to have developed a new mindset.

As he looked in the direction of Mount Kunlun again, he said determinedly, "Qingwu, wait for me. I will go and find you."

Chu Yang did not know that on his body, a piece of talismanic print started to flash with radiance, but the radiance soon disappeared.

Amidst the Heavens above Mount Kunlun, on the top of Mount Yujing, Lin Feng looked at void space while pondering over things. He revealed a smile on his face, "I left a signal for you for fun, but who knows you still miss Qingwu?""

Beside him, a lady in purple stood there. It was Luo Qingwu.

"Master, what's wrong?" Luo Qingwu asked curiously.

Lin Feng turned his head over and said, "Qingwu, you are still young. You may not know many things. But because you are still young, I must warn you over certain things first, to ensure that you are not cheated by anyone."

Luo Qingwu scratched her head, "Please advise me, Master."

Lin Feng said, "In this world, some mature guys like girls which are your age. They will think of ways to seduce and harm you. When you meet someone like this, you must keep a distance and not be fooled by their words."

"If anyone tries to harass you, show him what you are capable of. If you can't, you can find me or your seniors. They will help you."

Qingwu listened to him seriously before nodding her head. She answered, "Yes, Master! Qingwu will remember what you say!"

"Don't listen to their flowery words. Keep my distance from them. If they harass me, I will show them my powers. If I can't overcome them, then I will inform Master or my seniors to whack them!"

Chu Yang felt a sudden chill.

He looked around him but could only see the desert. He was confused, "Such a hot weather, why do I feel a sudden chill?"

On Mount Yujing, Lin Feng looked at Luo Qingwu and laughed, "Relax, this is just a caution. Since you are under me, I will protect you."

He led her to the edge of a cliff on Mount Yujing. At the foot of the mountain, the Yin-Yang Sea raged with waves that slammed against the walls of the cliff. It looked very fierce.

Luo Qingwu looked at this black sea and felt a warmth in her heart.

Lin Feng thought, "Qingwu, think of the sword mind in your heart and think about your understanding of swords."

Luo Qingwu nodded her head. During this period of time, besides figuring out her cultivation, she followed Lin Feng's advice and ditched the dagger cultivation she acquired from the Luo Family. On the other hand, she tried to understand the art of swordplay.

Lin Feng did not pass her any detailed art of swordplay or any related cultivation manuals, but only pointed out a direction for her. After that, he allowed Qingwu to figure out on her own and discover the cultivation pathway most suitable for her.

With Luo Qingwu's current cultivation, her understanding of the way of the Great Tao was still very raw. While her intelligence was above average, for her to discover the concept of the art of swordplay was impossible

But with Lin Feng's guidance, he did not expect her to achieve anything immediately. He wanted her to have a rough idea first. While it might not be developed yet, she could slowly complete it. The key was for it to infuse with her body.

Luo Qingwu closed her eyes and thought about it. Lin Feng's supernatural awareness landed on her and forced the sword mind that she figured out to be inched in her mind.

After that, Lin Feng extended his palm and grabbed the Yin-Yang Sea below the cliff. Suddenly, a thin line of water from the black sea was grabbed into mid-sky and landed in Lin Feng's palm.

Chapter 644: Revamping the Disciples' Abode

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The black water converted into a line of water, transcending space and was drawn up by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng grabbed it in his palm and it seemed like he was holding onto the hilt of a long sword. The black water consolidated in his palm.

Very soon, a three foot long, bright, black long sword was in his hand.

The long sword seemed to be formed from pure black ice crystals. There were no impurities and the blade of the sword was pitch-black, not revealing any sword radiance.

Not only did this blade not reflect light, the blade was even like a black hole, swallowing all light that encountered it. The space at the tip of the blade was totally dark like the primitive darkness of the universe.

Only the boundless Yin aura was revealed from the sword, which was very petrifying.

"This sword is called Mysterious." Lin Feng said. He passed the sword to Luo Qingwu. The sword was not fully formed. When it came to Luo Qingwu's hands, her sword mind combined with Mysterious and was fully completed.

A wave of mysterious but gentle aura flowed out from the sword.

Luo Qingwu opened her eyes and tried to figure out the way concept of it. She muttered, "Although it is not even considered a Foundation Establishment Stage magic item, it possesses a lot of potential. The sword mind is miraculous and points to the way of Great Tao."

Lin Feng said, "This sword shall follow you throughout your life. As you grow, this sword will grow with you."

"Just like your unlimited potential, this sword covers the same logic. How high you go in the future depends on you."

Luo Qingwu held the Mysterious sword in her hand and bowed towards Lin Feng, "I will definitely work hard."

Lin Feng smiled while saying, "Logically speaking, after you establish your foundation, you can cultivate on your own. But if this sword can establish its foundation with you, to the both of you, it's a good thing."

"This is your natal sword. I have only helped you to form it. It's not considered a magic treasure that I have given to you. Some of your seniors, when they established their foundation, I will give them an Aurous Core Stage magic item."

"When they formed the Aurous Core, I will give them a Nascent Soul Stage magic item. If they formed the Nascent Soul, I will give them a magic treasure. You are not an exception. This Mysterious sword is not considered one."

Luo Qingwu smiled, "Thank you Master!"

Lin Feng said, "That's why all of you just have to put effort in your cultivations. Qingwu, look at the Yin-Yang Sea below you, how do you feel?"

"Very scary. But I feel a sense of closeness to it." Luo Qingwu looked at the black sea underneath. Although they were far apart, she could feel the power concept that resonated with Mysterious. Not only was it filled with Pure Yin, it was also filled with pure darkness.

Lin Feng revealed a smile on his face, which was as warm as the Sun. "You have a Pure Yin body. You can gather the Yin energy of the Heavens and Earth into your body and convert them into Pure Yin energy. That's why cultivating Yin-type mantras is the most beneficial for you."

"This Yin-Yang Sea contains sea water that is Pure Yin in nature, which is very rare in the world. Every drop of the sea water is formed from boundless Pure Yin energy."

"If anyone cultivates inside this sea water, he will be unable to withstand the saturated Yin energy. Not only does it not benefit his cultivation, it will make his efficiency fall too. But for you, this is the most suitable venue for you to cultivate."

Lin Feng laughed, "Although the spiritual energy on Mount Yujing is very nourishing, this Yin-Yang Sea is the most suitable for you."

Luo Qingwu nodded her head, "I understand, Master. But how long do I cultivate here every day?"

Lin Feng turned his head to look at her and said, "You should stay in there until you can't bear it anymore."

"Mas…Master?" As she thought of herself in the sea water forever, she was pale.

Lin Feng said, "Qingwu, we were fated to meet. Although I have not interacted with you very long, I can still understand your character."

"You are talented, but you are lazy. Although you have changed through various experiences, your character is still unstable. If you are too comfortable, you may return to the state you were when you were young."

"Over here, no one will infuriate you or bully you. But you must remember what you are doing this for. You must urge yourself on all the time."

Luo Qingwu remained silent and pondered over what Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng said all these because this was what he truly felt.

Without Lin Feng or the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Luo Qingwu might have followed the destined path that she had to take. Her Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl was crushed, her family abandoned her, she experienced what it meant to be desolate and lonely, finally, she might have really matured.

When she overcame this obstacle, her determination might become more resilient. Although she lost her outstanding Innate Ability, she could live in another way.

But with Lin Feng's appearance, her Innate Ability rose another level and she had a new support. A support that was stronger than the Luo Family.

She was Lin Feng's youngest disciple. She was an active person and was very obedient and cute in front of others. If she was not provoked, she did not act like a brat. This made Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao and the rest dote on her more.

Although they were not related by blood, they provided a new source of comfort to Luo Qingwu. She was back in the environment where she was provided with love and comfort.

The events at the Luo Family did deal her a huge blow. But as time passed, her hurt was gradually alleviated.

Especially since her talent was outstanding and she became Lin Feng's Immediate Disciple, the Luo Family would try ways and means to rebuild their ties.

That's why simply speaking, although she experienced a lot of obstacles, her life became smooth-sailing after that. Her character might become lazy again.

After all, the obstacle that she faced was very short-lived. Her fortunes changed very quickly. Before she could taste the difficulties of life, her life became very smooth-sailing.

Luo Qingwu took in a deep breath and looked at Lin Feng, "Master, you are telling me that I have wasted too much time in the past and my cultivation is far lagging behind my seniors. I have to grab hold of time and cultivate tirelessly."

"It's good that you understand." Lin Feng revealed an approving smile.

Luo Qingwu said, "I will put my heart into cultivating properly…"

Before she could finish speaking, Luo Qingwu felt herself flying up. As she looked beneath, it was no longer the ground on Mount Yujing. It was air!

Beneath her was the black sea water of the Yin-Yang Sea.

Lin Feng's voice resonated in her ears, "Since you understand the reasoning behind my words, there's no need to waste anymore time. Go down now!"

"Master!" Luo Qingwu could only scream before she found herself dropping downwards.

She had an extraordinary Qi cultivation. Although she could not float in space, she knew how to escape. However, her powers had been restrained by Lin Feng. She could only shout as she descended into the sea water.

As she fell from such a height, even if it was water beneath her, if her speed was not reduced, as she slammed onto the water, her internal organs would be crushed.

Lin Feng would not be so heartless. Before she fell into the sea, he protected her, but she didn't feel well either. She became drenched in an instant.

Luo Qingwu re-emerged and looked upwards pitifully, "Master, at least give me a warning. I have never swum before!"

Lin Feng laughed, "You won't drown. Cut the crap, grab hold of your time."

Luo Qingwu was in the black sea water and felt boundless Yin energy surging towards her body suddenly. In just a blink of an eye, she felt that she was about to be frozen.

She did not dare to idle and quickly adjusted her body. She sat on her knees in the sea and used her hands to conjure a sword spell, which she divided across her two knees.

Mysterious was dragged onto the sword spell on her knees. As Luo Qingwu summoned her powers, she sat steadily inside the sea.

Her body moved along with the waves, but she managed to stabilize herself. She received the cleansing of the Yin-Yang Sea water, guiding the spiritual energy into her body.

As Lin Feng stood on Mount Yujing, he looked down and revealed a smile on his face. He nodded his head, "Not bad, not bad. She has figured it out very quickly. She is on the right track."

He left his mana prints on Luo Qingwu. When needed, he could protect her. At the same time, he could monitor her progress.

Right now, he could feel that the immense Pure Yin energy was absorbed into Luo Qingwu's body. Just that small bit of skill had given Luo Qingwu the opportunity to reach the 9th level of the Qi Cultivation Stage.

Not only just the Pure Yin energy, even the chilly energy and dark power from the sea water were being absorbed by Luo Qingwu.

Luo Qingwu's cultivation was still low. But as time passed, her cultivation of spiritual energy would lag behind the absorption of spiritual energy. Over time, she would reach her limit. When that happened, Lin Feng needed to be around to bring her up.

But as Lin Feng observed carefully, her cultivation was far better than what he expected.

Lin Feng nodded his head and felt comforted, "I have to say that with a high Innate Ability, the cultivation at the start is easier."

Luo Qingwu's cultivation was on the right track. Lin Feng just had to monitor her progress from time to time. He left the cliff and walked on the mountain slowly. He came to the Disciples' Abode not long after.

Lin Feng looked at the Disciples' Abode before tapping his finger lightly. The Two Elements of Creation Formation appeared in the sky but was not fully displayed. It only revealed the Instant Change and the radiance of the formation landed on the Disciples' Abode.

Lin Feng's fingers tapped continuously and streaks and streaks of mana were injected into the formation and the Disciples' Abode. From the formation, the Eternal Holy Light and the Instant Heavenly Gravel flowed out in small amounts. After that, they completed the formation inside the Disciples' Abode that contained the Instant Change.

Very soon, the smaller-sized formation had combined with the Disciples' Abode.

The flow of time in the Disciples' Abode experienced a change.

In different rooms, the flow of time was different. Some were twice as fast while some were thrice as fast. There were even rooms where the time was five times as fast and ten times faster.

Chapter 645: Mass Producing the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng revamped the Disciples' Abode. He added the brilliance of time change above the foundation of the gathering of spiritual energy.

"This place is no longer just the Disciples' Abode anymore." Lin Feng smiled. "From today onwards, this will be called the Universal Light Hall."

Besides Luo Qingwu who was still at the Yin-Yang Sea cultivating, Lin Feng's Immediate Disciples all received his message to proceed to the Universal Light Hall. They observed the place and discovered the change in it. All of them were in awe.

Lin Feng said, "From now on, I will set the rule that the Foundational Disciples on Yun Peak will undergo major tests at certain set period of time. Those who pass the test can become a Successive Disciple. Besides the major tests, there will also be minor tests from time to time."

"Those who pass the test can enter the Universal Light Hall to cultivate for a period of time, as a reward."

Xiao Yan and the rest nodded their heads, "This is a good way of motivating the disciples to work harder."

Zhu Yi pondered for a moment before asking, "Master, in this way, won't the stronger ones become stronger and the weaker ones lag further behind?"

Lin Feng shook his head, "The major tests are used to test the potential and character of the disciples. It's not about their cultivations."

Zhu Yi looked at the various rooms in the Universal Light Hall and nodded his head, saying, "The movement of time in each room is different. Whichever room they choose, we can test their self-confidence."

Lin Feng said, "Even so, the Foundational Disciples must pass the minor tests before they can enter to cultivate. Whereas the Successive Disciples under all of you can enter anytime they want. This is also a privilege enjoyed by Successive Disciples."

Zhu Yi and the rest nodded their heads in unison.

Lin Feng placed his hands behind him and walked in one direction. Xiao Yan and the rest also followed closely behind him. They came to somewhere not far from the Universal Light Hall and stopped.

"Rise." Lin Feng had three Sect-Establishment Deeds in his hand. After he activated them, three streaks of radiances flew out and one of them landed to one side beneath the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree. It was a specific position where a small building was formed.

Whereas out of the other two radiances, one landed beside the Celestial Golden Pavilion and Tripitaka Block, revealing a huge, majestic pavilion. The signboard of the pavilion wrote, "Divine Work Pavilion". It was formed from the Sect-Establishment Deed.

The other radiance landed beside the Universal Light Hall, converting to a huge pavilion. Although it was not as huge as the Grand Heavens Pavilion, it was still significantly larger than any other of the buildings or pavilions.

Xiao Yan was curious as he looked at this pavilion. They walked one by one into the pavilion and felt the brilliance of the pavilion. After a while, they were enlightened as they smiled, "Master, what a move. This pavilion can even be used by us."

Lin Feng smiled while he said, "All of you won't need it anymore. But your disciples will need it."

He looked at Xiao Yan and the rest, "Go back and guide your disciples well. Don't delay anymore."

Everyone nodded their heads and left. Xiao Yan was asked to stay by Lin Feng, "Come, follow me back to the Celestial Golden Pavilion."

The both of them came to the medicine room and Lin Feng turned his head while laughing, "How's the magic treasure that I gave to you?"

Xiao Yan laughed cheekily, "We are getting along well."

As he said, he conjured a spell with his hands, a streak of five-colored flowing light rose from his head. Within the flowing light, an ancient, black deed floated in mid-sky. It was the Divine Token of the Five Thrones, an Immortal Soul Stage magic treasure.

According to the positions of the five elements, the deed was carved with five different words. Every word was shining with a radiance. On closer look at these radiances, there were dense patterns that moved in their positions, containing an immense force.

These five words were, "Tai", "Chong", "Xia", "Gu" and "Shi". They were the names of five powerful Emperors from the Antiquity Age and Primordial Age. They each carried the willpower of the five Emperors, before they combined these willpowers together.

Each of these willpowers seemed shallow, but once they were carefully analyzed, one could realize the thread of thought within them, which were faintly recognizable.

Although this treasure was only in the gestation realm, its might was immense, beyond ordinary. It could threaten the Heavens. In terms of defensive strength, it was one of the best among the magic treasures in the gestation realm. It was very difficult to violate its defense.

Xiao Yan possessed the five Primordial Fires. As he exhibited the offensive powers of the Heaven Fire Lotus, it was very frightening. But he was a very courageous person. He would never bend and would sometimes cause himself to be stranded in danger. That was why Lin Feng gave him this magic treasure to protect himself.

At the same time, Xiao Yan used the five Primordial Fires to nurture the Divine Token of the Five Thrones, which was beneficial for this magic treasure.

The Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire nurtured the "Tai" word, Heavenly Apocalyptic Blaze nurtured the "Chong" word, Grand Sun Primordial Fire nurtured the "Gu" word, Nanming Primordial fire nurtured the "Xia" word and the Pure Yang Primordial Fire nurtured the "Shi" word.

Xiao Yan laughed bitterly, "I don't even dare to cultivate this treasure in front of Zhener. She is a descendant under the Emperor of the Ancients and possesses the Nanming Primordial Fire. But I am using the Nanming Primordial Fire to cultivate the willpower of Emperor Xia. What am I doing." (Translator's Note: Emperor of the Ancients is also known as Emperor Gu, thus Xiao Yan is trying to convey the conflict that he is facing here.)

Lin Feng laughed, "Among the Seven Legendary Primordial Fires, the Nanming Primordial Fire is the fire that combines Yin and Yang. It's does not have as much Yang as the Grand Sun Primordial Fire or the Pure Yang Primordial Fire. The Emperor of the Ancients possessed the Nanming Primordial Fire, thus the person who cultivated this Divine Token of the Five Thrones devoted this fire to the northern direction. (Translator's Note: Note that in the position of the five elements, the northern direction takes the fourth position. The "Gu" word is also occupying the fourth position, refer to the above paragraphs.)

"Moreover, the "Gu" word on this Divine Token of the Five Thrones may indeed be related to the Emperor of the Ancients, but it has nothing to do with the Nanming Primordial Fire. The orthodox rule of the Emperor of the Ancients is very broad and the Holy Lihuo Mantra that is used to cultivate the Nanming Primordial fire is only just a part of it."

Xiao Yan laughed, "I must still be careful. I heard that during the Antiquity Age, the Emperor of the Ancients and Emperor Xia knew each other, even though their rules were not successive. When Emperor Xia was still on the throne, the Emperor of the Ancients' cultivation was still very shallow. There was a disagreement with the clan members of Emperor Xia."

"People like to bring two unrelated things together." Lin Feng laughed. "Don't follow them."

Lin Feng lifted his finger and a radiance landed in front of Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan caught what was in front of him and saw a pill that was as big as a fist, snow-white and half-transparent appearing in front of him.

The center of the pill revealed a subtle black color. The black color appeared and disappeared.

"Good pill!" Xiao Yan's nose moved a little, as he smelt the scent of the pill. He felt the medicinal power from within and was moved.

Lin Feng gave him the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir.

After hearing Lin Feng introduction of the medicinal effects of it, Xiao Yan caressed the elixir and said, "Master, although the effects of this elixir are unbelievable, I believe there is a limit to it."

Lin Feng said, "That's right, but some disciples are talented. Just like your Third Junior who was limited by his Innate Ability, this elixir is very suitable for him."

"I have some finished products here. Go and figure them out. Try to cultivate more of them out."

Xiao Yan received a few pieces of Spiritual Replenishment Elixir from Lin Feng and started to attempt cultivating more of them using the Ethereal Heart Cauldron.

Ever since Yue Hongyan obtained the Spiritual Enhancement Herb from the Ancient Huanghai World, Lin Feng had been nurturing it in the medicine valley. Now that it had become more readily available, it could withstand the mass production of elixirs.

Through Xiao Yan's efforts, a considerable amount of Spiritual Replenishment Elixirs were produced, even if the success rate was beneath the rest of the elixirs.

During this period of time, Lin Feng also carried out some experiments. On the whole, the result left him satisfied.

There was a limit to how much the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir could increase one's Innate Ability. As a cultivator consumed this elixir, the effect would only occur once. After consumption, the Innate Ability would rise by one point. The upper limit was 7 points.

A person with 6 points would reach 7 points. Whereas for those who were already 7 points, there would be slight improvements, but they couldn't reach 8 points.

For those who were already with 8 points, there was no use.

An Innate Ability of 7 points seemed ordinary. As compared to Shi Tianhao, Yang Qing and Luo Qingwu, it seemed like trash. But in truth, it was already quite exceptional for the general masses.

The others could not tell the talent statistics like Lin Feng. The only segment that they could tell was the Innate Ability. As for Intelligence and Determination, they could only roughly gauge them.

In the human cultivation world, the standard was 6 points for Innate Ability for someone to walk on the elite path, less those from the Great Void Sect.

For those with 7 points, they were talented and needed to be watched. Many great powers would fight for them.

For those with 8 points, they were unbelievably talented. They would be watched by almost every sect.

For those with 9 points, they were considered freaks. Even the Great Void Sect would be keeping tabs on them. They were very rare.

As for those with 10 points, they were almost extinct. They were those who only appeared once in a thousand years. Lin Feng could confirm that Shi Tianhao was the only one with 10 points.

As for Lin Daohan and Shi Tianyi, their statistics were unknown, as they were already pledged to a sect.

Wang Lin's Innate Ability was only 5 points, and was judged by Lin Feng to not be qualified. That was his standard for choosing an Immediate Disciple in the system. But in front of everybody else, he was just ordinary.

Wang Lin was unfortunate. He was a late bloomer, even for his Innate Ability. The initial toughness of his soul was quite good, but this limited strength of his could only be discovered through deeper cultivation.

Without his Qi cultivation, he went to the Hengyue Faction for a test. His strength was not exhibited and he was naturally treated as trash.

After all, Wang Lin's flesh seemed average and his more foundational abilities were in a mess.

When his Innate Ability rose, it did not seem much. But this little increase caused huge quality changes, especially when he was erecting the spiritual altar during the Foundation Establishment Stage. It could be decisive.

Furthermore, the rise in Innate Ability would reduce the time needed for the initial cultivation. The difficulty would also be reduced and efficiency would be increased.

To Lin Feng, this was important. This was not just a slight improvement, but a significant improvement. His standards when accepting disciples were high. If their Innate Abilities were low, then their other three talent statistics should be outstanding.

The rest put their attention on one's Innate Ability, but Lin Feng knew other things.

Now that he increased the Innate Abilities of his disciples, he could allow the overall potential of the sect to increase by another level.

Chapter 646: The Calm Before the Storm

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Although he was only in the Nascent Soul Stage, he was the first person to cultivate an elixir in the history of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Of course, in the eyes of others, including Xiao Yan, they had to remove Lin Feng from the list.

However, Lin Feng knew that the quality of the elixir that Xiao Yan produced was above his. This was not exactly correlated with the cultivation realm of a cultivator. For someone with a high cultivation, it did not mean that the elixir that he cultivated was of higher quality than someone with lower cultivation. There were many factors involved.

That's why Lin Feng was relieved to pass the medicine room to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan was also pleased.

If it was someone else, this might affect his cultivation. But for Xiao Yan, the process of cultivating the elixirs involved the constant understanding of the powers of the Primordial Fires. It's like hitting two birds with one stone.

But very soon, Xiao Yan had to come out from the medicine room.

That's because Xiao Zhener was about to leave the mountain.

Previously, she reunited with Xiao Yan at the Void Battleground and they could not bear to leave each other. They decided to go Mount Yujing together. She was even suspected of wanting to elope with him.

Just recently, the Ancient Brush Elder was tasked by Xiao Zhener's family and he came to Mount Kunlun to pay a visit. He might seem courteous, but his intentions were obvious. He was here to bring Xiao Zhener back.

He did not express his disapproval towards the relationship between Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhener, but Xiao Zhener had to return to her home for her future cultivation. This would be more beneficial for her.

The descendants of the Emperor of the Ancients had high hopes for Xiao Zhener. They even had a plan to nurture her.

Although Mount Yujing was a rare land of fortune, it was not the best place for everyone. For example, the most suitable place for Luo Qingwu to cultivate was the Yin-Yang Sea. Xiao Zhener's home was also the best place for her to cultivate, in terms of the environment and the resources.

Of course, the descendants of the Emperor of the Ancients did have some grouses over the relationship between Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhener.

The battle at Xiling City not only affected the Divine Lands, even they were surprised. The sudden rise of the Celestial Sect of Wonders forced them to consider many things.

Lin Feng did not mind the plan, as he was always accustomed to the principle of letting the main person in question choose.

If Xiao Zhener was willing to stay, even if her father came over to find her, Lin Feng would still support Xiao Yan. If Xiao Zhener wanted to leave, then Lin Feng would not keep her.

Xiao Yan was also open to it. He gently split apart Xiao Zhener's two streaks of hair in front of her face, laughing, "Wait for me at home. I will go over. This time, I will go over openly."

Xiao Zhener also smiled, "You must cultivate effortlessly. I heard that among Elder Lin's Immediate Disciple, the first to form the Nascent Soul and even the first to form the Aurous Core were both not you."

She gave a narrow smile and Xiao Yan was poked fun by her. He was a little embarrassed and coughed, "It's nothing to be first. I will be waiting for them in the Immortal Soul Stage."

"Big Senior, don't let us wait too long!" Shi Tianhao laughed from one side. Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and the rest also shook their heads and laugh.

All of them looked at Xiao Zhener and bade goodbye to her, "Miss Zhener, take care."

Xiao Zhener also bade goodbye to them. "All of you take care too." She looked at the little doll in Xiao Yan's hand, "Lin Tong, take care too."

Lin Tong looked at Xiao Zhener as tears formed in her eyes, "Mother, are you really leaving?"

Xiao Zhener smiled while saying, "I will be back to see you." She was not coaxing her, as that would be the case. As her cultivation increased, her power in her family would also increase. Furthermore, as the influence of the Celestial Sect of Wonders rose and Xiao Yan's powers increased, this would make it easy for Xiao Zhener.

Lin Tong saw that Xiao Zhener had already made up her mind. She turned her face to one side and pursed her lips, "Hmph, go then. I won't miss you."

While she said that, she extended her chubby little hand and grabbed onto Xiao Zhener's sleeves without letting go. Her mouth bit tightly and her tears were about to fall.

During this period of time, Xiao Yan was busy with breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage. After he formed the Nascent Soul, he was also busy with the Celestial Wonders World. Right now, he was also busy with cultivating elixirs. On the other hand, it was Xiao Zhener who was spending time with Lin Tong and their bond developed.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhener quickly comforted her when they saw this scene. They took a while before she stopped crying and she looked at Xiao Zhener pitifully, "Mother, you must come back often to visit Father and I!"

Xiao Zhener touched her head and said, "I will."

After bidding goodbye to Lin Tong, Xiao Zhener came before Lin Feng. She bowed towards him, "Elder Lin, thank you for your care and guidance over this period of time."

After pausing for a moment, she continued saying, "I will discuss with my Father as I return this time." This was the reason why she was willing to follow the Ancient Brush Elder.

Lin Feng smiled, "You are too kind. Send my regards to your father."

Xiao Zhener bowed, "I will do so."

"Pass the Ancient Royal Sword to him too." Lin Feng gestured, "Bring it to him directly."

Xiao Zhener hesitated for a moment before replying, "Thank you Elder." The Ancient Brush Elder smiled bitterly.

After sending Xiao Zhener and the Ancient Brush Elder down the mountain, Lin Feng smiled. He looked at the lost Xiao Yan, "I have already given the betrothal gift on your behalf. Whether you can wed her over, it all depends on you."

Xiao Yan took in a deep breath and nodded his head, "Don't worry. Since I have promised Zhener, I will be open in the future. Naturally, I won't renege on my words."

Lin Feng laughed while calling Zhu Yi and the rest, "For the rest of you, I will be waiting too."

Zhu Yi smiled, "This is not something to be rushed. We have to wait until our love lives are as stable as Big Senior and Miss Zhener first."

Xiao Zhener's departure from the mountains was only a small matter. Since the Celestial Sect of Wonders was already on the correct path, it was natural for them to continue developing in the future.

As the Celestial Wonders World underwent its initial stages of development, the progress was immensely quick. With the support of the Great Qin Empire, the immigration project had also started.

However, the first to step into the Celestial Wonders World were Xiao Yan's family, led by his grandfather, as well as Wang Lin's family.

They left their hometowns and stayed at Shazhou County. Now, they moved to the Celestial Wonders World.

Although the Celestial Wonders World was just newly built and its barren look was not comparable to the prosperity of Shazhou County, Lin Feng established the same formation to transport people through space. This made it more convenient to travel between the Celestial Wonders World and the Cloud Mirror City and Shazhou County. Furthermore, Elder Xiao could tell that the Celestial Wonders World was very important to the Celestial Sect of Wonders and it had a lot of potential to be fulfilled.

The earlier one entered, the earlier one could tap on the opportunities to develop.

Similarly, some of Shi Tianhao's family also came over.

When Shi Zongyue paid a visit previously, he met Shi Zhongtian.

Shi Zongyue and Shi Zhongtian were old acquaintances. But Shi Zongyue was much older. He also cultivated at an earlier age and formed the Immortal Soul much earlier. Shi Zhongtian was only in the Nascent Soul Stage before he entered the Void Battleground.

But with regards to Shi Zhongtian's return, Shi Zongyue also expressed his felicitations. Shi Zhongtian also had the thought of returning to the Shi Family to take a look. Right now, it was some of his old buddies that were taking charge.

After Shi Zhongtian recovered from his injuries, he would return to the ancestral land of the Shi Family. Shi Tianhao would follow him too.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders was now very reputable. The Shi Family naturally wanted to change the relationship between both parties and rely on the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

But with regards to their application to enter the Celestial Wonders World, Lin Feng gave them some restrictions. He did not want the backgrounds of the immigrants into the Celestial Wonders World to be too complicated. Normal people would be the best. Whether they would become cultivators was not important yet. But there had to be restrictions now.

Right now, there were cultivators that entered the Celestial Wonders World. Even if they controlled themselves, they might still seem proud in front of the average citizens.

The attitude taken by Xiao Yan's family was already the extreme.

The Shi Family could also sense that the immigrants sent over used to be from the Shi Family. Their statuses in the Shi Family were too low in the past. But now, they managed to ride their luck and enter the Celestial Wonders World.

The rapid development of the Celestial Wonders World guaranteed the expansion of the Celestial Wonders World. Countless resources were provided for the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

But in terms of population, more time was still needed to form the sufficient scale. Lin Feng did a test. The flow of time in the Celestial Wonders World was actually different from the Greater Worlds. It was faster by around four times.

As a year passed in the Greater Worlds, four years would have passed in the Celestial Wonders World. But even so, it would still need time for people to migrate into the Celestial Wonders World.

Lin Feng was not anxious. He stayed on Mount Yujing. On one hand, he guided his disciples. On another hand, he was also understanding his own mantras and cultivation.

Xiao Yan and the rest were the same too. As compared to Lin Feng who stayed on Mount Yujing, they often left the mountain to roam around. On one hand, this experience allowed them to deepen their cultivations. On another hand, as they roamed the world, they could search for potential talents to bring back to Mount Yujing, further accumulating talents for the sect.

As time passed, the amount of time that passed in the Greater World was already three years.

Many great powers in the Divine Lands realized that the Celestial Sect of Wonders had become quieter over the years. Although no one dared to underestimate them, they no longer seemed to be catching the attention in the Divine Lands like they used to.

They were no longer in the limelight, but their foundation became more and more stable, taking its shape.

What made many smaller powers bothered was that not only the Celestial Sect of Wonders, even the Great Qin Empire, Great Zhou Empire and the other great powers were also quiet over the past few years.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders and the various great powers were on the same page, as they targeted the Great Void Sect. They were also very quiet since the battle at Xiling City. While minor conflicts did arise, nothing major happened.

The Mount Shu Sword Sect was also acting the same. It was as if the previous enmity did not exist anymore.

As compared to the period when the Celestial Sect of Wonders rose quickly, only one word could describe the situation over the past three years.

Peaceful.

But those who were wise sensed a different aura as they looked at the Divine Lands. It was like the calm before the storm.

On Mount Yujing, Lin Feng's understanding of the circumstances over the past three years was clearer than others. But he was calm and focused his attention on something else.

Breeding flowers and growing trees.

Chapter 647: Danger and Opportunity Exists Together

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng stood quietly in the Heavenly Ray Cosmic World. Inside it was a huge crucible that was three foot tall. The body of the crucible was carved with the image of mountains and rivers. It was the Mountain and River Void Crucible, the magic treasure of the late Mountain and River Holy Man.

Around the crucible, there were nine smaller Green Bronze Crucibles. They formed a formation structure, but they were not protecting the Mountain and River Void Crucible that was in the center.

After the Nine Familial Green Bronze Crucibles of Emptiness were gathered, they exhibited how different they were. Although they were nine Nascent Soul Stage magic items, after forming the structure of the formation, they achieved a resonance with the Mountain and River Void Crucible. Their might was not lacking.

The formation structure formed by the Nine Familial Green Bronze Crucibles of Emptiness activated a miraculous and special power concept, shocking void space.

As Lin Feng saw this, he knew that Cao Wei was not lying. The Nine Familial Green Bronze Crucibles of Emptiness was indeed cultivated by the Mountain and River Holy Man himself.

While the nine crucibles were only magic items, the formation structure they formed was the key in the Immortal Soul of the Mountain and River Holy Man. The Mountain and River Void Crucible was only cultivated after he achieved the Immortal Soul.

But the powers of both parties matched each other. Although they were different, they could achieve a resonance with each other. As they combined, they supplemented each other.

As the two parties combined, the 10 crucibles had already formed a new formation. They broke through void space and created a path that seemed to be there and not there.

Lin Feng used his finger to tap and a streak of jade-green water flow landed within the Mountain and River Void Crucible.

Within the Mountain and River Void Crucible, a weird tree grew at this moment. The roots were deep and the bottom half of the tree along with the branches were all crimson red like fire. Their temperatures were extremely high.

At times, there were flames that raged on the stem and branches of the tree, but did not hurt the tree. Amidst the raging flames, the tree became more and more prosperous.

But above, the top part of the tree and leaves were a patch of ice-blue color. It was like winter when snow fell. Even the leaves were frozen into crystals.

This was the Fire Affinity Wood that was nurtured from the Fire and Ice Fruit that Lin Feng nurtured.

This tree was special and it was difficult to graft a new one out. It grew very slowly and even the effects of the Blessed Spiritual Land was limited. Lin Feng spent quite some effort to nurture the tree till its current state.

The Fire Affinity Wood kept on growing and the branches extended upwards. Through the path created by the formation of the 10 crucibles, it extended till the external space, just like a bridge that transcended heavenly barriers.

Lin Feng lifted his legs and walked through the branches of the Fire Affinity Wood and found himself deep within void space. He followed the path and moved forward.

As he walked, Lin Feng felt something was not right, "Such strong boundary powers feels like it can only exist between the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses. Don't tell me this is the path to the Barren Expanses?"

The tension between both worlds seemed to have disappeared and the path seemed to reach its end. Lin Feng broke through void space and looked over. In front of him, there were a series of barren and ancient mountains.

As he sensed the flow of spiritual energy, Lin Feng understood things, "This is not the Barren Expanses, but a spatial crack that developed between the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses. Eventually, it expanded to form a plane of space."

"But I'm not the first to set foot in this plane of space." Lin Feng raised his brows. As he moved and stopped, he was already in the deep regions of the mountains. As he stood in the sky, he looked beneath him.

He saw that between the mountains, there was a cyclone. It was as if a black hole was moving.

Lin Feng extended his finger to point at the cyclone. The cyclone disappeared rapidly. Lin Feng raised his brows, "Interesting."

A ball of Purple Clouds surged out quickly and engulfed the cyclone that was about to disappear. Lin Feng comprehended the vibration of power form within and he became more serious, "Heavenly Charms Grand Sage has made some progress?"

During the Battle at Xiling city, Lin Feng brought the Great Qin, Great Zhou, Purple Clouds Sect, Royal House of the Northern Tribes and other great powers together to oppose the Great Void Sect. He also removed the Heaven Lake Sect from the Divine Lands.

The Great Void Sect maintained its silence eventually. The reason was because there was some weird movement in the Barren Expanses.

Many of the great demons that did not reveal themselves previously were all restless now. They started to take action on an unprecedented scale since the War Between the Two Worlds.

Even many of the powerful demon tribes that did not participate in the War Between the Two Worlds were suddenly active.

Ever since the War Between the Two Worlds, as compared to the human cultivation world, the conflicts within the demons were more and more intense. This caused the powers of the demons to be restored less quickly.

But these demons that did not engage in the war were not included. Now that they were all appearing, the pressure on the humans became huge.

That was what caught the attention of the Great Void Sect and was taken very seriously by them. As Lin Feng and the rest received news of this, they were also concerned.

There were signs that suggested that the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, who stole a part of the Hades' Dark Mantra in the Cloud Forest World, had used his Hunyuan Demonic Code to combine the Hades' Dark Mantra, hoping to derive the first chapter of the Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao as well as the meaning behind the entire Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao.

The Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao was the top cultivation manual of the demonic clan. Just by possessing the second chapter of the Hunyuan Demonic Code, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was able to dominate the entire Barren Expanses. He was also recognized as the leader of the Ten Demonic Saints.

Ever since the Royal Hades Region perished and the Hades Tribe disappeared, the complete Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao was lost. Especially the most mysterious, first chapter, which went completely missing.

If the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage could complete the entire Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao, regardless whether it's for the Divine Lands or the Barren Expanses, it would be a shocking matter. Its influence would be widespread and would not be inferior to the rise of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

The Royal Hades Region resisted the attack of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror and the Saintly Celestial Sword a long time ago, before destroying the Great Thunderclap Temple's magic treasure in the destiny realm, Mount Meru. This scene flashed in the minds of the powerful human cultivators, causing them to feel a chill down their spines.

The reason why everyone was so quiet in recent times was because they had placed their attention on the Barren Expanses.

The Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao could re-appear. This caught the attention of the demons more than the humans.

The demons would be eyeing the Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao, but they were warier of the humans.

Right now, between the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses, it was like the moment before the volcano erupted. The current peace was just a period where both parties accumulated power for the imminent explosion.

Lin Feng caught a cyclone in this plane of space and sensed the change in demonic powers within. It was similar to that of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage.

Through the power concept within, Lin Feng could confirm that the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage's power had increased.

However, deducing the complete version of the Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao was only the beginning of everything. As time passed, her progress would definitely increase until she achieved success.

The previous guess was proven now. The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was not looking to allow the Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao appear, but she had already achieved significant progress.

No wonder she went missing. She was actually retreating and searching for a bigger breakthrough.

This plane of space was one of the places that she used to retreat.

"Too bad I can't make the first move." Lin Feng thought. "You are preparing, so am I. You need time, so do I. Let's see who's faster."

Lin Feng waved his hand and brought the aura of the formation of the 10 crucibles into this plane of space. Suddenly, a radiance flashed among the mountains.

"The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage discovered this place by accident. She realized that it is quite secluded, that's why she stayed here to cultivate for a period of time. After that, she left. Without the Crucible of the Divine Lands, she can't discover the true brilliance of this plane of space."

Lin Feng observed the flashing radiance and thought, "The Crucible of the Divine Lands is not here. But just like the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Crucible of the Divine Lands was here for a period of time."

He conjured a spell with both his hands and Lin Feng used his powers to further motivate the radiance. The radiance converted into a light figure instantaneously.

Within the light figures, stars shone, as if the luminaries were right before Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked at this scene and was a little surprised, "This…this is the Ancient Desolate Galaxy?!"

The Ancient Desolate Galaxy was like the Void Battleground, an alternate plane of space that was independent of the Greater Worlds. But it was not purely a Middle World either.

This alternate plane of space was abnormal and miraculous. It was directly connected to the boundless universe.

Within the Ancient Desolate Galaxy, it was much easier than anywhere else to absorb the powers of the luminaries. The luminaries could even be cultivated.

During the Primordial Age, this was the playground of the demons. Following that, as the humans rose and powerful people appeared, when Emperor Tai held the throne, the Primordial Age ended. The humans and demons were separated into the Divine Lands and Barren Expanses, whereas the Ancient Desolate Galaxy landed in the hands of humans.

Only till the end of the Antiquity Age was the Emperor of Violence overthrown and the powers of the human cultivation world suffered greatly. This allowed the demons to initiate another War Between the Two Worlds and snatched the Ancient Desolate Galaxy back.

Ever since the Royal Hades Region perished, the demon clan had never had another Holy Demonic Emperor again. That was why the few paths to the Ancient Desolate Galaxy were divided among the powerful demonic tribes.

As a Demonic Grand Sage cultivated the Undying Demon Soul Second Level, he would start to cultivate the powers of the luminaries into its body. Eventually, it would reach the Undying Demon Soul Third Level.

After that, more and more luminaries could be infused within the Undying Demon Soul.

That was why obtaining the Ancient Desolate Galaxy was very beneficial to the demon clan. After the few War Between the Two Worlds since the Antiquity Age, the humans wanted to snatch this place back, but they had been unsuccessful.

To the humans, the powers of the luminaries were a very outstanding source of power in the world. If they could obtain it, the benefits would be boundless.

Lin Feng looked at the star lights that were flashing in the light figure and muttered, "So this is the case. The disappearance of the Crucible of the Divine Lands has something to do with the Ancient Desolate Galaxy."

He tried to figure it out, "This light figure is formed from the powers of the Crucible of the Divine Lands and not a boundary pathway towards the Ancient Desolate Galaxy. But through this light figure, a powerful person can open his own pathway."

"Even if it's not necessary to open it now, the star lights can also be received and cultivated. The effects will be great."

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and thought, "There's room to operate here."

He controlled the light figure and sealed it temporarily before he returned to Mount Yujing himself. He cut off the pathway temporarily and called Xiao Yan and the other Immediate Disciples before him.

"Tell the world that our sect will be opening our mountain for the third time to accept disciples. At the same time, we will conduct the first internal competition within our sect and we shall invite our comrades over to watch. All of you shall descend the mountains and go to various spots to accept disciples. After that, bring all of them back to the mountain.

Chapter 648: Can the Junior Disciples Carry on the Name of the Celestial Sect of Wonders?

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The news of the Celestial Sect of Wonders recruiting disciples for the third time spread among the entire Divine Lands, causing a huge commotion.

This time, it would be different than the previous two times. Lin Feng sent Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest to different places. Each of them was responsible for a particular region, where they received potential disciples. Following that, they would bring these disciples back to the mountain.

In this way, the influence of the Celestial Sect of Wonders would be more widespread. This also made it easier for others to express their interest in joining.

The few regions that Lin Feng chose were intentionally picked. He did not overdo it such that the friendly allies' territories were infringed too much, neither did he make it seem like he was avoiding these areas.

Although they were low-profile these few years, no one dared to underestimate the might of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

The various great powers were also given invitations to come to Mount Kunlun.

Zhu Yi's designated spot was within the boundaries of the Great Zhou Empire, near the Purple Clouds Sect. He was also responsible for inviting these two powers over to Mount Kunlun.

The Blue Pavilion Holy Man from the Purple Clouds Sect received Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi passed the invitation letter to him. After retrieving it over, the Blue Pavilion Holy Man passed it to the sect leader, the Thunderclouds Holy Man.

After reading the letter, the Thunderclouds Holy Man raised his brows slightly, "Blue Pavilion, it seems like I have to pay a visit to Mount Kunlun personally."

Not only the Thunderclouds Holy Man, whoever received the letter were moved by it. They made a decision almost instantaneously and proceeded towards Mount Kunlun.

Everyone knew that this was a gathering spearheaded by the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

After the battle at Xiling City, the reputation of the Celestial Sect of Wonders reached a new peak. In the anti-Great Void Sect camp, they were undoubtedly the leader.

After that, Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders decided to progress steadily. They did not steal the limelight anymore.

But now that Lin Feng sent out an invitation for the first time, the other great powers reacted and their leaders came to Mount Kunlun personally.

This gathering was bound to be a huge one and its influence would be far-reaching.

But besides these huge figures, the outstanding talents from the various sects also came along with their elders to Mount Kunlun.

Besides another sect-recruiting campaign, the Celestial Sect of Wonders was going to organize an internal competition between its disciples. They also invited the younger generation disciples from the other great powers to come along for sparring too. This was similar to the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai.

To the other great powers, this was a rare opportunity for everyone to see if the junior disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were equally outstanding.

Lin Feng's Immediate Disciples were already very famous. They were publicly recognized as the most outstanding, future talents in the Divine Lands. They even overshadowed the Great Void Sect, which had always been named as the Talent Gathering Ground.

But for a sect to remain prosperous, they could not rely on just a generation of disciples. There must be a few generations together to carry on the prosperity.

That's why everyone wanted to see the standard of the junior disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Could they ensure that the reputation built by Xiao Yan and the rest would not be wasted?

During these three years, the Successive Disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders left Mount Yujing occasionally, far away from the boundaries of the Yun Peak and the Mirror Lake. They went to different places to train, such as the Celestial Wonders World. They even left Mount Kunlun.

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest's Immediate Disciples like Liu Xiafeng, Xu Yunsheng and Li Xingfei were also gaining a reputation for themselves.

But the rest of the great powers like the Great Qin Empire, the Great Zhou Empire, Samsara Sect, Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Great Void Sect had never interacted with them before. That was why the second-generation disciples were still pretty unknown from the perspective of the external world.

This gathering was bound to be a good opportunity for them to meet everyone else.

To the Celestial Sect of Wonders, this was an opportunity for the other great powers. It remained to be seen whether the junior disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders had the mettle to be truly great.

If they were as good as the previous generation, then they could further the influence of the Divine Lands. The Celestial Sect of Wonders would no longer just be built on the name of Lin Feng and his few Immediate Disciples. They would finally have the stature of a Holy Ground.

If they were not as good, this would not necessarily damage the personal reputation of Lin Feng and the rest. But to the overall reputation of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, this would have some form of negative repercussion.

The pros and cons involved was naturally understood by Lin Feng. But now, his state of mind had gradually changed. He did not mind it too much.

A newly formed sect would lack some form of stability. Because of Lin Feng's achievements, the junior disciples would naturally be motivated and confident. But this would also carry a hint of impulsiveness and even a sense of arrogance.

Lin Feng had even overheard the Foundational Disciples mentioning that Mount Shu was nothing and that the Great Void Sect disciples were only fit to be carrying their shoes. This left him unsure of whether to laugh or cry.

It was good to be confident. But without abilities to back up the confidence, it would be a joke.

This was something that a new sect had to go through. As the elders achieved all the great things, everything would be smooth and the juniors would easily fall into the trap of being too arrogant. But once they faced difficulties, they might become sluggish and doubt themselves.

To nurture a temperament that was stable in all sorts of circumstance, one needed to have stable powers and experience.

Lin Feng had no interest in nurturing a bunch of useless junior disciples. He would protect them, but they had to work hard too.

By increasing their interaction with the external world, it allowed the junior disciples to deepen their understanding of the world. Rather than keeping them cooped up, this would be more beneficial to them.

Of course, this might sound like the case. But the difficulty level of entering the Celestial Sect of Wonders was high. The overall standard of the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was still very high.

The potentials of the second-generation disciples were all around 24 points. There were some who were even above that. Along with the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir, comfortable environment of Mount Yujing and sufficient resources, and also the powerful mantras of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, in the entire human cultivation world, the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were outstanding.

Young cultivators with similar potentials might also find it difficult to emerge victorious over the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

But caution still had to be taken.

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao were destined individuals that were not easy to find. But for people like Yue Hongyan, Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu who were immensely talented, although they were rare, they could still be found.

Xiao Zhener was a good example.

Shi Tianyi and the Marquis of Jinghuan might be inferior to Xiao Yan and the rest, but they were not far off from Yue Hongyan and the others.

Shi Xingyun and Jiao Junchen were also very outstanding.

Of course, this was referring to their innate talents. How far a person's powers could go depended on many things. But the presence of the aforementioned individuals did show that there were also outstanding individuals from other great powers.

The Great Void Sect, Mount Shu Sword Sect, Great Zhou Empire and the Great Qin Empire also possessed the conditions to nurture these talents.

For such people, could Xu Yunsheng, Ying Luozha and the others handle?

That's why Lin Feng allowed the younger generation talents of the other great powers come along as the elders of the various great powers visited.

Lin Feng hoped that the talents of the other sects could be around. The faceoff between the various talents would help to improve the standards of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Moreover, Lin Feng's intentions was to allow the different disciples to get to know one another. He wanted them to train their minds and not to affect their confidence.

Finding a grinding stone was to grind a knife and make it sharp, but not to break it.

If there were characters like Shi Tianyi, Liang An, Shi Xingyun and Jiao Junchen that were present, there would be disciples on Lin Feng's side that were ready to face them. After Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu, Lin Feng had not accepted any more Immediate Disciples.

Since the Celestial Sect of Wonders was activated, the Celestial Wonders World could not be left out. As three years in the Greater Worlds had passed, twelve years had gone by in the Celestial Wonders World. The first batch of young immigrants had slowly matured. It was time for harvest season.

The peaceful Mount Kunlun region started to bustle with activity again. The bunch of Successive Disciples spread around Yun Peak and the Mirror Lake, trying to get to know the guests that came.

The Mirror Lake was the center. Within a thousand-mile square radius around it, Lin Feng termed it as the "No-Fly Zone". Others could get close to it, but they were restricted from breaking through void space. Everyone knew this restriction.

Although guests from different places were invited, this restriction was not made invalid. Out of courtesy's sake, the Celestial Sect of Wonders disciples held talismans as they proceeded a thousand miles away, spreading as they received guests that came. After that, they would bring these guests to where the Yun Peak and Mirror Lake was.

"All elders and comrades, please follow me. If there's anything I did wrong, please forgive me."

The Lord of the Royal House came over to Mount Kunlun. A few Royal House of the Northern Tribes' cultivators, along with him, were received by a young man in purple robe. They flew in space and went towards the Yun Peak and Mirror Lake.

The young man in purple was charming and seemed extraordinary. He was very gentle but had a steely aura. With the powers of the talisman in his hand, he flew. Although he was only in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he did not bow down as he faced the Lord of the Royal House and the rest. Everyone approved of him as they looked at him.

Of course, the Lord of the Royal House and the rest did not reveal their own stature to pressurize this young man.

The young man brought all of them near Yun Peak. In void space, a spatial crack appeared and Zhu Yi walked out.

"Greetings, Master." The young man greeted Zhu Yi and Zhu Yi nodded his head. "Yunsheng, you may leave. I will take over." Zhu Yi and the rest were in charge of handling important figures like the Lord of the Royal House as they came to Yun Peak.

The young man was Xu Yunsheng. He said respectfully, "Noted, Master." After greeting the Lord of the Royal House and the rest, he took his leave.

He held the talisman in his hand and returned to his original position. There were other disciples there. As they saw him coming, they asked after him. "Senior Xu."

Among the Successive Disciples, Xu Yunsheng had cultivated till the Foundation Establishment Stage and was one of the most outstanding. With the Universal Light Hall aiding them, the cultivation time of the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was greater than three years.

But because of various factors, Xu Yunsheng and the rest could not bear cultivating at a speed five or ten times faster for three years straight.

With Xu Yunsheng as an example, who took less than eight years to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, in any other place, he would be very outstanding. Besides his own talent, the spiritual energy on Mount Yujing, resources as well as the mantras of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were all reasons for his improvements.

But Xu Yunsheng had remained in the Advanced Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage for two years. The only problem for him was forming the Aurous Core. This was not something that would see results just through tireless cultivation.

Xu Yunsheng greeted the other disciples back, but his brows raised suddenly, "Where's Ying Luozha?"

Chapter 649: Low in Cultivation but High in Seniority

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

On Yun Peak, the cultivators from the Royal House of the Northern Tribes met Zhu Yi and they were all focused on him.

He still had the scholarly look and wore a white robe on his body. He seemed gentle and quiet.

He did not reveal his own cultivation intentionally, but there was a streak of radiance that subtly shot into the Nine Heavens that came from his head. As he received clear air into his body, it revealed his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation.

As they thought of how Xiao Yan and Wang Lin were able to kill Nascent Soul Stage Grandmasters when they were in the Advanced Stage of the Aurous Core Stage, the cultivators from the Royal House of the Northern Tribes, except for the Lord, felt a chill down their spines.

Zhu Yi laughed, "Everyone, please follow me. Master is waiting for all of you."

Lin Feng waited in the main pavilion of Mount Yujing to receive the guests. As he received the Lord of the Royal House, they engaged in a delightful conversation.

As compared to the Great Qin Empire and Great Zhou Empire, the ties between the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Royal House of the Northern Tribes and the Purple Clouds Sect were closer.

Three years ago, the Royal House of the Northern Tribes got rid of the Heaven Lake Sect, and invaded into the influence of the Heaven Lake Sect after that. Eventually, they shared part of the powers of the Heaven Lake Sect with the Great Zhou Empire.

The Great Zhou Empire mainly accepted the disciples of the Heaven Lake Sect. They did not claim much resources. Whereas the Royal House of the Northern Tribes obtained much of the territorial influence of the Heaven Lake Sect.

Over these three years, the Royal House of the Northern Tribes was still consolidating what they had gotten. The powers of the sect increased another level.

Right now, to the Royal House of the Northern Tribes, the only pity was the murder of Prince Xian of the Left by the ancient Kun Peng at the North Polar Sea. The loss of an Immortal Soul Stage Elder still left them reeling.

After all, it was difficult to form the Immortal Soul. Time and opportunity were needed. But after the Royal House of the Northern Tribes absorbed the remaining influence of the Heaven Lake Sect, there was an expansion of the number of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators present. In a way, this made it more possible for Immortal Soul Stage Elders to appear for them in the future.

Promoting the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators to Immortal Soul Stage Elders was also an area that the Royal House of the Northern Tribes tried to focus on after the entire matter three years ago. But they needed more time.

The Lord of the Royal House looked at Lin Feng and said, "Master Lin, the matter that you mentioned in the letter, I agree with you."

Lin Feng nodded his head, "This is a prime opportunity. We need to work together."

After they met, the Lord and the rest left Mount Yujing and went to Yun Peak. All the guests were settled down on Yun Peak. Besides the Foundational Disciples that lived there, there was an inn that was created to handle guests who visited.

After sending off the bunch of cultivators from the Royal House of the Northern Tribes, Lin Feng sat in the Grand Heavens Pavilion. Suddenly, his gaze flashed. He lifted his head and looked in a certain direction. His vision transcended void space until Mount Kunlun.

Within the mountains, Xu Yunsheng's brows raised. He and the rest from the Heavenly Temple were in charge of receiving guests from in this area. Ying Luozha was naturally included.

During the previous few times of receiving guests, Xu Yunsheng noticed that Ying Luozha looked very tempted to challenge the disciples from other sects.

Now that Ying Luozha was gone, and judging from Ying Luozha's character normally, Xu Yunsheng had reason to believe that he would clash with some guest.

But soon, Xu Yunsheng discovered that as compared to Ying Luozha, he was first to get into trouble.

As he walked between the mountains, Xu Yunsheng sensed something and stopped. He looked at Yun Peak in front and discovered that some human figures appeared on the top of it. They wore long robes with golden sleeves and seemed very stern.

Xu Yunsheng looked at their dressing and immediately knew who they were, "Descendants of the Samsara Sect's Path of the Heaven-Born…"

The Samsara Sect was divided into six paths. Between them, conflicts kept on arising. But the most powerful of them all was probably the Path of the Heaven-Born.

They had always been called the first among the Six Paths of the Samsara. When there were internal conflicts within the Samsara Sect, it was always the other paths that allied to resist the Path of the Heaven-Born.

Each of the Six Paths had their own strengths. The Path of Asura specialized in physical martial arts, the Path of Hell specialized in formations, the Path of Humanity specialized in the cultivation of the mind, the Path of Beats specialized in the rearing of spiritual beasts and the Path of Hungry Ghoul specialized in ghostly spells.

Whereas the Path of the Heaven-Born knew many of the secret spells and mantras of the Samsara Sect. Their powers in all areas were extremely strong.

As the Celestial Sect of Wonders organized a Sect-Opening Ceremony this time, the Samsara Sect was also invited.

Xu Yunsheng observed the few Samsara Sect cultivators. They also looked at him and sized him up.

One of the Aurous Core Stage cultivators said, "We are from the Samsara Sect. Are you from the Celestial Sect of Wonders?"

Xu Yunsheng greeted them, "I am Xu Yunsheng from the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Are all of you hear to witness the Sect-Opening Ceremony?"

One tall and thin cultivator was also in the Advanced Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage like Xu Yunsheng. He asked suddenly, "You are Xu Yunsheng?""

Xu Yunsheng's expression did not change. He sighed.

As expected, that cultivator turned towards the Aurous Core Stage cultivator and said, "Master, it was this guy's powers that hurt Junior Xu. He said that he was Xu Yunsheng."

Ever since he recognized the other party's identity, Xu Yunsheng's heart sank. That incident happened a year ago. He went down to the mountain to train and met a few Samsara Sect disciples at the north foot of the region.

Xu Yunsheng found a spiritual medicine, but the other party tried to snatch it away from him. In the end, the two of them fought and Xu Yunsheng spared his life.

"A spiritual medicine, and perhaps an argument, eventually led to the clash. I am also very regretful over it." Xu Yunsheng said, "But your disciple made the move first. I hope that you can understand what happened."

The Aurous Core Stage cultivator looked at Xu Yunsheng before saying, "Since my disciple was not powerful enough, there's nothing much to say."

"I am naturally here to observe the ceremony. But I hope that we can spar with members of the Celestial Sect of Wonders too."

As he said till here, the words of the Aurous Core Stage cultivator suddenly changed his tone of voice, "Since we have met because of fate, let's spar. Du Ting?"

The thin and tall cultivator beside him answered, "Yes, Master."

Without even asking whether Xu Yunsheng was agreeable, the cultivator descended from Yun Peak and came before Xu Yunsheng, "Junior Xu is very lazy. Let me spar with you instead."

The other disciples beside the Aurous Core Stage disciple asked hesitantly, "Elder Meng?"

This Elder Meng said, "Let's test the skills of the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Since we are at your territory, we are being fair to you."

Xu Yunsheng looked at Du Ting before looking at Elder Meng on the mountain. He raised his brows, "Comrade…"

"Are you allowed to call him comrade?" Du Ting laughed. "My Master has formed the Aurous Core for more than a hundred years. If you are also in the Aurous Core Stage, it's fine if you call him comrade too. Otherwise, you better address him as Elder."

As he said, Du Ting suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He started to feel cold, as if an evil wolf was staring at him from behind and was ready to snap his neck."

Du Ting's goosebumps around the skin of his throat started to appear. It was as if someone pointed a knife at his neck.

Elder Meng snorted and looked at another mountain peak. Du Ting and the rest reacted and looked in that direction too. They saw someone that dressed the same as Xu Yunsheng. But this person was sitting on a tree lazily.

He held the blade of a dagger with his right hand and it was facing downwards. He adopted a position where it seemed like he was going to throw the dagger over. He put the dagger in front of him and squinted his eyes. He stared at Du Ting, as if he was aiming.

Du Ting swallowed his saliva subconsciously and could clearly feel the killing intent of the other party. The chill he felt originated from the stares of the person on the other side.

"Are you also from the Celestial Sect of Wonders? Are the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders so rude?" Du Ting was in the Advanced Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage and quickly calmed his nerves. He stared at the person and said furiously.

That person was Ying Luozha. He was also in the Advanced Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage. After hearing what Du Ting said, he did not bother and laughed instead.

Xu Yunsheng lifted his eyes to look at Du Ting. He said indifferently, "I addressed your Master as comrade because I was trying to be polite, not because I was trying to make friends with him."

Both Xu Yunsheng and Ying Luozha were Zhu Yi's Immediate Disciples. To some extent, they were the Descendant Disciples of Lin Feng. Although Elder Meng had formed the Aurous core, he was only a junior disciple in the Samsara Sect. He wasn't even fit to call the leader of the Samsara Sect Great Grandmaster or even Great, Great Grandmaster.

After all, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator could live for 3600 years and Aurous Core Stage cultivators could live to a thousand years. Not to even mention Immortal Soul Stage cultivators who could naturally live forever.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders was set up not long ago and there were many junior disciples. But strictly speaking, Ying Luozha and Xu Yunsheng might be low in their cultivations but high in their seniorities. With Lin Feng's current status, Elder Meng had to address them as Elders or even Grandelders instead.

On one hand, Xu Yunsheng and the other's cultivations were still very low. On another hand, they were from different sects and were not that close. There was no need to enforce the addressing of one another by seniority. That's why Xu Yunsheng called Elder Meng as comrade to avoid the awkwardness. After all, Elder Meng cultivated longer than him.

If he was a Nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster, then it would be more appropriate to address him as Elder.

Ying Luozha aimed his dagger at Du Ting and Du Ting was also rebutted by Xu Yunsheng. In an instant, he turned red.

Elder Meng shifted his gaze between Ying Luozha and Xu Yunsheng and said, "Since we are from different sects, there's no need to address each other by our seniority levels."

"Du Ting, learn more from these seniors from the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

Du Ting answered, "Yes, Master!" As he said finished, he clasped his palms and a boundless golden light flashed. Rapidly, the light formed a disc and flew towards Xu Yunsheng!"

Chapter 650: Junior Disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Du Ting consolidated his powers to form streaks and streaks of golden light, which converted into a disc. As the disc spun, there were six streaks of golden radiances that expanded out. They were like the tooth of a saw. As the disc spun, they spun too.

These six streaks of golden radiances did not cut the flesh, spiritual energy or the powers of the opponent. They slashed the soul of the opponent instead.

Ying Luozha laughed sarcastically and jumped off from the mountain. Xu Yunsheng stopped him, "Don't make any reckless move."

As he said, Xu Yunsheng conjured a spell himself and the spiritual energy of the Heavens and Earth gathered, instantaneously converting into a beam of radiance. The radiance attacked the disc of Du Ting.

"Eight Spells of the Heavens and Earth, Penetration of the Heavens and Earth!"

As the radiance flashed, the disc of Du Ting was torn apart!

Du Ting and Elder Meng, whose true name was Meng Bei, were both shocked.

As Lin Feng saw this scene from Mount Yujing, he also laughed while shaking his head.

Over these three years, there were many Foundational Disciples that passed the tests and became Successive Disciples. While Lin Feng and the rest made the tests very strict, the scale of Successive Disciples was still growing.

Through their own tireless cultivations as well as the faster time in the Universal Light Hall, a portion of the Successive Disciples managed to open their aura sea and established their Tao foundation.

The outstanding ones like Xu Yunsheng and Ying Luozha cultivated till the Intermediate Stage and Advanced Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

As the Foundational Disciples cultivated the Yi Zi's Eight Trigrams Variorum, they developed the basic Qi Cultivation.

As they built a stable foundation, this bunch of disciples began to learn different types of abhijnas and mantras.

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest passed on their own mantras and abhijnas to their disciples. They also came together to devise the basic abhijnas and spells of the sect, completing the entire manual.

They reduced the difficulty of cultivation of these abhijnas and mantras to ensure that more disciples could cultivate. At the same time, this allowed these disciples to increase their powers too.

To some extent, these abhijnas and spells were the signature ones in the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Of course, this was only applicable to the lower levels of cultivation.

Xiao Yan and the rest kept on perfecting the skills of their disciples. As these disciples' weaknesses were alleviated and their strengths were boosted, some positive results were witnessed.

The Penetration of the Heavens and Earth that Xu Yunsheng just exhibited was the fourth spell of the Eight Spells of the Heavens and Earth.

The foundation of the Eight Spells of the Heavens and Earth was created using the 'Fou' Hexagram of the Heavens and Earth and the 'Tai' Hexagram of the Heavens from the Combination of the Heavens and Earth of Zhu Yi's Way of the Facile Blade. After that, the Crash of the Eight Trigrams, Infinite Thunderstorm, Imperius Grand Moon Curse and the Space-Destroying Spear Technique along with many other abhijnas were used to fully form the Eight Spells of the Heavens and Earth.

With the consideration of reducing the cultivation difficulty, the Way of the Facile Blade, Crash of the Eight Trigrams, Infinite Thunderstorm and other spells were used, but their powers were still extraordinary. They formed the basic abhijnas that the Foundational Disciples cultivated. Almost every Successive Disciple were pleased to master them.

The Penetration of the Heavens and Earth was unleashed after the spiritual energy of the Heavens and Earth had been shrunk and gathered together. It could penetrate things extremely well. A streak of bright radiance could penetrate through the Heavens and directly destroyed Du Ting's spell.

Meng Bei and the rest's eyes twitched as they saw this scene, "The Heavenly Disc Spell may not be strong, but Xu Yunsheng managed to destroy it so easily?" (Translator's Note: The Heavenly Disc Spell was the spell used by Du Ting.)

Du Ting shook his head hard and calmed his nerves. He looked at Xu Yunsheng seriously and conjured a spell with his left hand. His right index finger pointed to his own forehead.

A drop of blood appeared on his forehead and his right index finger was stained by the blood. After that, he pointed it at Xu Yunsheng.

Suddenly, a streak of golden blood line stabbed straight at Xu Yunsheng.

Xu Yunsheng's expression did not change. He looked at the blood line that was shot towards him and noticed that the end of it seemed to be vibrating in the air. It seemed like it was unstable and its own spiritual sense could not lock on the exact location.

Although he did not know what the blood line was for, Xu Yunsheng could not use his own body as an experiment to see how powerful his opponent's spell was.

He stood on the ground and exhibited the Grand Escape Spell of the Eight Spells of the Heavens and Earth. He dodged the attack of the blood line and as his palms opened, streaks and streaks of mana were shot out. They consolidated in the air without dissipating, forming lines and lines of ropes.

The ropes intersected with one another and trapped Du Ting's blood line within. It was as if they formed a cage.

The fifth spell of the Eight Spells of the Heavens and Earth, the Spell of Geography, converted Xu Yunsheng's powers into imaginary longitudes and latitudes to control the situation. They formed a form-less trap to withhold the spell of the opponent within.

Du Ting controlled the golden blood line to stab the ropes created by Xu Yunsheng's powers and pierced through the ropes.

As the ropes were pierced through by the blood line, they started to collapse.

Xu Yunsheng remained calm and replenished them with his powers. He reformed the ropes and trapped the blood line together. At the same time, the ropes intersected even more and formed overlaps, causing the blood line to have nowhere to run. After that, they tightened suddenly.

The blood line was snapped by the tightening of the ropes, but Du Ting pointed with his finger again. As golden light flashed, the blood line was restored to its original state and destroyed Xu Yunsheng's ropes again.

Xu Yunsheng was enlightened. He realized the demonic powers of the opponent's spell, but this did not deter him.

Xu Yunsheng was focused on two things. Firstly, he commanded the Spell of Geography. Next, he exhibited the Spell of Control too.

Not only did the Spell of Control come from the Celestial Sect of Wonders' own mantras, it also infused a little of the Vairocana Sutra. It was dominant and invincible, and its main goal was to overcome demonic spells.

"Remain!" Xu Yunsheng used his right index finger to draw a semi-circle in space and pointed it towards the golden blood line of Du Ting. The powerful mana caused the blood line to remain in its position in space.

Du Ting was shocked. After that, he saw Xu Yunsheng's ropes created from the Spell of Geography coming towards him. Now that he was trapped, he was captured alive by Xu Yunsheng.

Du Ting gritted his teeth and sent out a disc-like magic item that was flashing with light. He tried to cut the ropes that were trapping him.

That was a black flying disc with nine teeth and was as small as a palm. It was called the Nine-Toothed Soul-Crushing Heavenly Disc. It was an Aurous Core Stage magic item!

This magic item belonged to Meng Bei. For safety's sake, he gave it Du Ting before the start of the fight. Initially, he hoped that it did not have to be used. But who knew Du Ting was not Xu Yunsheng's match. He was captured in just a short while.

Meng Bei's brows raised, "Although Du Ting is not the most outstanding among my Foundation Establishment Stage disciples, he is still exceptional. But he is so far off from his opponent? Besides Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest, even the junior disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders are so outstanding?"

Du Ting was a little embarrassed. He guided the Nine-Toothed Soul-Crushing Heavenly Disc to make a turn in space, converting into a dark light and flew towards Xu Yunsheng.

Xu Yunsheng's ropes bound together and converted into a light shield to resist the dark light.

As the dark light was resisted, the original form of the heavenly disc was revealed. It did not fly back towards Du Ting, but continued to make spins around the light shield. It revealed its might as an Aurous Core Stage magic item. Like a scissors cutting through cloth, it tried to overcome the Spell of Geography.

As Lin Feng saw this, he creased his brows.

If this was a life and death battle, he had nothing to say. Both parties would use their own powers, talismans, magic items, psychological battles, deceptions and basically anything useful to defeat and kill each other.

But if they were just sparring, generally speaking, it was always silently agreed that they wouldn't use any items and only sparred based on their own powers.

Just like the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai. Otherwise, it was not sparring, but a competition to see whose sect had more resources.

Or rather, it was a competition to see who was more shameless.

A competition between two Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators could be ended with just a Nascent Soul Stage talisman.

Ying Luozha looked at Du Ting in disdain and laughed coldly, "I like opponents like you who break the rules." As he said, his right palm opened and a ray of light flew into mid-space, converting into a colored light shield. It directly captured the Nine-Toothed Soul-Crushing Heavenly Disc!

As Xu Yunsheng saw this, he creased his brows slightly. Ying Luozha laughed without care, "This disc is decent. I like magic items like this which are very offensive."

The colored glass was fully transparent and flashed with rainbow lights. The bright lights were blinding. From the outside, one could see the dark light, converted from the disc, moving aimlessly inside the light shield. It was ferocious, but could not overcome the defense of the light shield.

Du Ting was as stunned as Meng Bei and the rest at the top of the mountain. Du Ting's Aurous Core Stage magic item was given to him by Meng Bei for emergency use. But now the light shield was also an Aurous Core Stage magic item that belonged to Ying Luozha.

Meng Bei was troubled as his magic item was taken by Ying Luozha, "This is only a sparring, but you interfered. What's the reason? You have broken the rules, should you be stopping now?"

Ying Luozha looked at Meng Bei fearlessly and laughed, "Who broke the rules first? Although I don't really fancy the rules, it doesn't mean I don't know them. Who are you trying to scam?"

Meng Bei's expression changed, "How dare you!" As he said, he lifted his palm and five streaks of mana consolidated above his head, creating five types of appearances.

A long sword shining with golden light, a huge tree that reached into the skies, a sea of raging waves, a ball of raging fire and a steep mountain cliff were the five appearances.

As these five appearances took shape, they started to revolve. As they came together, they reinforced one another and became more and more powerful.

And this stable arrangement formed a huge whirlpool that engulfed the spiritual energy in the Heavens and Earth. The whirlpool revolved more and more quickly.

In the next instant, it converted into a huge palm that was filled with powers. As five radiances flashed, the dominance of the palm grew.

Five Elements Palm Print of Heavenly Tao.

The huge palm grabbed onto the light shield with a vigorous might.

As Xu Yunsheng saw this, he converted a green wooden staff into a huge wood, resisting the Five Elements Palm Print of the Heavenly Tao, preventing it from landing.

Du Ting was shocked as he saw this. "Another Aurous Core Stage magic item. Don't tell me every Foundation Establishment Stage disciple from the Celestial Sect of Wonders has an Aurous Core Stage magic item?"

It was not naturally the case, but for outstanding ones like Xu Yunsheng and Ying Luozha, they were indeed given one each by Zhu Yi.

Ying Luozha changed his spell. As the light shield continued to suppress the Nine-Toothed Soul-Crushing Heavenly Disc, it revealed a rainbow radiance, which aided Xu Yunsheng's wood in resisting Meng Bei.

The two of them were talented and their powers were strong. As they commanded the two Aurous Core Stage magic items, they frustrated Meng Bei. He was furious until his face turned green.

At this point, a spatial crack opened in void space. An elder in white robe walked out. The vibration of mana around his body was frightening. He was a Nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster.

He looked at both Xu Yunsheng and Ying Luozha, before saying, "It's easy to get a magic item, but not easy to achieve the Great Tao. Relying on external items will make it difficult for one to become powerful."

As this elder said, he extended his hand and a strong absorption power engulfed the place. He snatched the green wooden staff and colored light shield away.

Chapter 651: Since You Took my Disciple's Magic Item, I Shall Take Yours Too

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The elder in white tried to snatch Ying Luozha's and Xu Yunsheng's magic items. The two of them were naturally unwilling to let him do so. They tried to retrieve the magic item hurriedly.

As they tried to command their magic items, they realized that the magic items were no longer listening to them. They were about to get snatched away.

Ying Luozha snorted, "We won the young one, but provoked the older one. Now that the older one failed to settle us, the eldest one is here?"

His words were like slaps to the face of Meng Bei and Du Ting. They felt extremely shameful.

The elder in white said, "It's your fortune to meet me. Don't be a sore loser."

"How can I be?" Ying Luozha retorted, "But you are bullying me with your cultivation. Do you think only the Samsara Sect has Nascent Soul Stage cultivators?"

"I'm not like your disciples who are so thick-skinned. I don't need an elder to stand up for me. When I reach the Nascent Soul Stage, I will find you myself and take revenge for the humiliation today!"

The elder in white scanned him, "You have just lost one item but you are so calculative, narrow-minded and enraged. With your state of mind, you can't even form the Aurous Core, what more the Nascent Soul. It's a pity that the Celestial Sect of Wonders has disciples like you."

He looked at Ying Luozha from the corner of his eyes, "It's easy for me to kill you. But there's no need for me to do so."

"I shall keep your magic items. Let this be a lesson to the both of you. You must be able to withstand failure. The path of cultivation is not smooth. I have given the both of you a lesson today."

"Who are you giving a lesson to?"

A voice rang from the mountains. The elder in white was shocked. In front of him, void space broke open and a scholarly man in purple robe appeared. He was calm, but he had an aura that left one petrified.

The scholarly man looked at the elder in white and said, "Cultivating is similar to being a person. Understanding reason, knowing what is right and wrong, doing things with magnanimity. One can be humble, but not humiliated."

As he said, the scholarly man extended his hand and broke the spell that captured the green wooden staff and colored light shield. Both items, along with the Nine-Toothed Soul-Crushing Heavenly disc, landed in the hands of the scholarly man.

Xu Yunsheng and Ying Luozha saw this scholarly man and bowed towards him, "Greetings, Master."

Zhu Yi nodded his head, "Stand at one side and observe."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Yi lifted his hand. It was also the Eight Spells of the Heavens and Earth that he exhibited. He chose the Spell of Control just like Xu Yunsheng did before.

Wherever his man went, the surrounding space around the elder in white was locked.

The expression of the elder in white changed, "I gave some pointers to the juniors with regards to their sparring. But you want to lay a move on me now?"

"Your logic is skewed. If you give them pointers, they will only be led astray." Zhu Yi followed with the exhibition of the Spell of Geography. He seemed to convert the Heavens and Earth into a chessboard, causing the elder in white to be trapped within.

It was the same Eight Spells of the Heavens and Earth, but it looked different when Zhu Yi summoned it.

Although the elder in white was also in the Nascent Soul Stage, Zhu Yi did not use the Way of the Facile Blade, Great Boundaries of the Celestial Light and Darkness Mandala or the Essay of the Sages, which were all powerful abhijnas. He used the foundational abhijna of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the Eight Spells of the Heavens and Earth to counter the elder in white.

While it looked shallow, it was a rare abhijna. Especially since it was exhibited by Zhu Yi, it reflected a miraculous feeling.

There was no sense of rigidity. On the other hand, it was very refreshing and referred to the foundation of the way of the Heavens and Earth.

The elder in white was forced back by Zhu Yi and had no choice but to reveal his own magic item. It was a bright, silver disc.

As the silver disc was unleashed, void space shook. As the disc spun, it threatened to crush the surrounding space.

"Since you took my disciples' magic items, I shall take yours too." Zhu Yi did not even look at him and extended his palm. The countless ropes created by the Spell of Geography gathered in his palm.

There seemed to be no change in Zhu Yi's palm. It just seemed smooth and was shining with a dim light.

In the next moment, he connected all five fingers of his and grabbed hold onto the silver disc. No matter how much the elder in white tried to summon the disc, the disc would not return.

The Nascent Soul Stage magic item was repressed by Zhu Yi and could not move.

The expression of the elder changed, "You…"

Zhu Yi looked at him, "What, you can't take this?"

"Who is the one who was acting so ridiculous and tried to mislead others? Since you can't tolerate it yourself, don't be so pious. If you don't like something, then don't force it upon others."

The elder in white snorted furiously and a light figure flashed above his head. A huge person appeared behind him.

The person was ten foot tall and wore a white robe. The four, huge limbs of this person held prayer beads, water jug, scepter and bow. This person was the Cosmic Form of the elder in white.

He could tolerate other things, but as his magic item was taken away, this Nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster was unable to bear anymore. He revealed his Cosmic Form.

Zhu Yi's expression did not change and he looked at the Cosmic Form of the elder in white.

His gaze seemed to have dampened the spirits of the elder in white.

For a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator in the Advanced Stage, his state of mind should be quite strong. But this elder felt a chill down his spine and a frightened feeling rose in his mind.

When Zhu Yi looked at him previously, he felt as if Zhu Yi was a tiger while he was a rat.

It was as if that if Zhu Yi just waved his hand, he would be able to kill him easily. Zhu Yi could easily destroy his Cosmic Form.

This look seemed to have woken the elder in white up. It was as if it was an instinctive action. He retracted his Cosmic Form that he just revealed quickly. He was afraid that if he was slower, there would be no more opportunity for him to do so.

The elder in white looked at Zhu Yi with a bitter look and analyzed what he wore, "Are you the second disciple of the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Zhu Yi?"

Zhu Yi said, "The Celestial Sect of Wonders is celebrating a joyous occasion. Your sect has been invited over as guests. Regarding this matter, I shall not pursue further. But you need to know your limits too. With regards to guests with ill-intentions, our sect will not hesitate to throw them out."

The way he talked was very unkind. The elder in white suppressed his anger, but wanted to retaliate.

While Zhu Yi did not cultivate as long as him, he was very powerful. Even when he was in the Advanced Stage of the Aurous Core Stage, he could kill a cultivator in the Advanced Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Now that he was in the Intermediate Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, the elder in white did not dare to imagine how powerful he was.

"Heavenly Cloud Holy Man, what has happened today is really…" The elder in white thought of it in his heart and laughed bitterly, while shaking his head.

Since the Samsara Sect was invited over by the Celestial Sect of Wonders, there couldn't only be a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator leading the group.

On Mount Yujing, Lin Feng's gaze transcended void space and he looked at a young man in white.

He did not hide his gaze and the young man in white greeted Lin Feng as he noticed his gaze, "Shen Qifeng from the Samsara Sect is honored to meet Master Lin."

Lin Feng looked at Shen Qifeng, "Such a young age but you have already formed the Immortal Soul. No wonder the Path of the Heaven-Born is the top among the Six Paths of the Samsara Sect."

Shen Qifeng, who was the Heavenly Clouds Holy Man, smiled at Lin Feng, "It's all thanks to my elders and the sect for nurturing me."

Lin Feng scanned around him and realized the vibration of mana of Shen Qifeng. He knew that he was an important figure in the Path of the Heaven-Born. His status in the Path of the Heaven-Born was similar to Lin Daohan, Yan Mingyue, Pang Jie and Shi Tianyi in the Great Void Sect.

He was a talent to take up the reins in the future. He should be the Immediate Disciple of the leader of the Path of the Heaven-Born.

The leader of the Path of the Heaven-Born did not come. But Shen Qifeng's presence still showed some face to the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Shen Qifeng looked down on the elder in white and Zhu Yi within Mount Kunlun and said, "A minor conflict has cropped up between the juniors. Please forgive them."

Lin Feng answered, "Let them settle it themselves."

He was very protective. This meant that if his disciples provoked the disciples of other sects and caused the elders to lay a move, he would be there to support his own disciples.

If his own disciples were beaten by others and their skills were indeed inferior, he would not bother. His own disciples could only train themselves to better and avenge themselves in the future.

The Path of the Heaven-Born was also very protective of their disciples. But Shen Qifeng could only nod his head and acknowledge now, "Your words are right."

Lin Feng retracted his gaze and Shen Qifeng creased his brows slightly. But he soon made himself comfortable and exited void space, meeting up with Zhu Yi and the rest.

With regards to the elder in white, Shen Qifeng did not say anything. But as his vision swept across Meng Bei and his disciples, this left Meng Bei fearful. The incident was started by him. He was the one who caused all the trouble.

Without bothering about the elder in white and the rest, Shen Qifeng smiled and greeted Zhu Yi. He did not mention anything about the magic item that Zhu Yi snatched from the elder in white.

Since Zhu Yi was here, it was not necessary for Xu Yunsheng and Ying Luozha to be around anymore. He followed Shen Qifeng and the rest up Yun Peak personally.

During the past three years, Yun Peak and the Mirror Lake underwent many changes. Along with the Cloud Mirror City, they had been refurbished and many facilities were added. They became more and more complete.

As they walked between the mountains beside the Mirror Lake, the cultivators from the Samsara Sect could clearly feel the demonic aura around. There were many demons around who were in the Demon Lord realm. They were in the peak of the Demon Lord realm and were only one step away from being Demonic Saints.

Shen Qifeng looked at Zhu Yi and saw that he looked as calm as usual.

They came to the lakeside of the Mirror Lake. A huge black figure suddenly rose from the Mirror Lake and floated on the water surface. Its size was very huge, just like a small island. It was huge whale in the Demon Lord realm. It was the Northern Sea Whale King.

Shen Qifeng looked at the Northern Sea Whale King and started to shift his vision away. He followed Zhu Yi up Yun Peak and proceeded to their temporary residence.

On Mount Yujing, Lin Feng's gaze continued to follow Shen Qifeng, but he did not allow Shen Qifeng to discover him this time.

Shen Qifeng creased his brows and his thoughtful look was noticed by Lin Feng. Lin Feng laughed, "Interesting, let me see what you are going to do."

Chapter 652: Hidden Troubles of the Celestial Sect of Wonders

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng retracted his gaze and turned to look at a charming youth who wore a tight-fitting, black robe.

The youth was very sharp and mature, and had developed the temperament of a Master. He was Lin Feng's most senior disciple, Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan said, "Besides a few of the smaller sects, and including the Samsara Sect's Path of the Heaven-Born, there are already nine huge powers that have arrived on Yun Peak."

"They are the Royal House of the Northern Tribes, Purple Clouds Sect, Lightning Sword Sect, Great Barren Sword Sect, Sword of Radiance Sect, Samsara Sect's Path of Hell, Path of Humanity and Path of Heaven-Born, as well as the Scarlet Clouds Sect."

The Scarlet Clouds Sect came from the north foot of Mount Kunlun. After the Aeolus Sect was destroyed, they were one of the earliest ones to stand on the side of the Celestial Sect of Wonders at the north foot of Mount Kunlun. After the Celestial Wonders World was developed, they were the earliest one to express their wholehearted support too.

The powers of this sect were not that great. Although there were no Immortal Soul Stage Elders, there were many Nascent Soul Stage Grandmasters. Their overall strength and potential were decently good enough. They were quite similar to the Ethereal Mountain Sect. Basically, they were one of the biggest supporters of the Celestial Sect of Wonders in the Mount Kunlun region.

Xiao Yan followed by saying, "The guests from the Path of Hell and the Path of Humanity of the Samsara Sect have been allocated to their rooms. They will be staying separately from the Path of the Heaven-Born."

The internal conflict within the Samsara Sect was never-ending. As the Path of the Heaven-Born was the strongest, they were always targeted by the other Paths. While the other Paths might have on and off alliances with one another, there were times when some of them would stand on the side of the Path of the Heaven-Born. But the Path of Asura and the Path of Heaven-Born were arch-enemies. The Path of Humanity and Path of Hell were usually closer to the Path of Asura.

"You shall settle all this." Lin Feng smiled. Xiao Yan nodded his head and pondered for a while before asking, "Master, the internal competition this time and the interaction with the other sects are conducted separately?"

Lin Feng laughed, "It's a little different than at the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai. Let's change the style of doing things."

Xiao Yan's eyes brightened, "Oh? That's interesting."

"This competition is a test for all of you as well as the Successive Disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. For those who perform well, not only will they be given rewards, they will be allowed to become their own Masters too." Lin Feng laughed, "Outstanding second-generation Successive Disciples can then start to accept disciples."

Xiao Yan laughed, "Are you hinting that our sect will have a third generation?"

Lin Feng said, "If there's anyone with potential that all of you spot, you can accept that person under you. The Successive Disciples will have the autonomy to choose. Firstly, they will choose between all of you. As to how all of you want to arrange, I shall leave all of you to decide on your own."

As he said, he looked at Xiao Yan and said, "This Sect-Opening Ceremony involves many guests and it is a gathering of the elites. Besides the competition between the junior disciples, all of you must also buck up. There are things for all of you to do."

Xiao Yan smiled. Xiao Yan, Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao and the rest naturally knew what he meant.

This gathering was just like an alliance that the Celestial Sect of Wonders organized together. He used a more peaceful method to display his prowess and shock the others. He wanted to deepen the status of the Celestial Sect of Wonders in the Divine Lands.

Besides the competition between the junior disciples, there was also bound to be some sparring between the more powerful elders.

Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yan and laughed, "Your girlfriend must come too."

As Xiao Yan heard this, he started laughing, "She should be here soon."

"Then go and fetch her." Lin Feng gestured and Xiao Yan bowed towards him before leaving.

Xiao Yan descended Mount Yujing and proceeded towards the southern direction of Yun Peak. As he passed by the Cloud Mirror City, his expression changed and he lowered his head. He saw something walking over at the Cloud Mirror City.

"Ethereal Mountain Sect?" Xiao Yan could recognize Wu Yunliang and Meng Chaoran.

Under normal circumstances, external guests would be brought to Yun Peak directly. Those who were fit to meet Lin Feng would be brought up to Mount Yujing. After Lin Feng met them, they would then return to Yun Peak to settle down.

But there were some guests who wanted to roam the Cloud Mirror City and see the Mirror Lake. This was also allowed. The Celestial Sect of Wonders dedicated some people to do this job.

A young man who was around 20 plus years old was following the cultivators from the Ethereal Mountain Sect as they roamed around the Cloud Mirror City.

This young man wore a tight-fitting costume and there were Taiji diagrams sewed onto his costume. There were white lines on the cuffs of it that formed the image of a huge tornado.

Although he was only in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Wu Yunliang and Meng Chaoran did not dare to despise him. They talked to him very politely.

While the young man was not that old, he received the guests with courtesy.

Xiao Yan looked at this scene and laughed in his heart, "Xiao Huanzi has grown up. When I first saw him, he was still a kid."

The young man following Wu Yunliang and Meng Chaoran was Zhao Huan, the Immediate Disciple of Yue Hongyan. He was held captive by the Hundred Herbs Sect in the past and was almost cultivated into a Mortal Spiritual Elixir.

After receiving Lin Feng's help and he joined the Celestial Sect of Wonders, he passed the test and became a Successive Disciple.

His potential was over drafted. Although he had the guidance of Lin Feng, Kang Nanhua and the rest, he could at most form the yellow pill. There was no more progress for him in the future. This was the outcome that most expected.

There were very few people whose Determination and Intelligence were outstanding such that they could change fate.

Zhao Huan was an outstanding person. As his cultivation realm increased, it would be faster than Xu Yunsheng and the rest. But fortune and disaster were closely connected. If he increased his cultivation blindly, he might face a disaster.

That was why under Yue Hongyan's guidance, he intentionally repressed the development of his powers. He proceeded slowly. Although he seemed slow now, he changed his fate.

Zhao Huan promoted to the Intermediate Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage and established a spiritual altar, which was in the second-grade. If there were no errors in his cultivation of the crucible in the next step, he might be able to attain a purple pill when he formed the Aurous Core.

Right now, Zhao Huan had shaken away all his shadows and grew up. He was no longer the weak self that he used to be. In front of Wu Yunliang and Meng Chaoran, he was not submissive.

Behind Meng Chaoran, a well-built and sharp youth followed the group as they moved forward. Except for the slight radiance flashing in one of his pupils, he seemed normal in other aspects.

But Xiao Yan felt a weird feeling as he saw this youth. It was as if the youth was like a hidden sword in the sword casket.

It was Chu Yang. He looked into the sky oddly and did not seem to make any discovery. He could not help but ponder in his heart, "Are my instincts wrong?"

He shook his head and placed his attention on the Cloud Mirror City.

Right now, the Cloud Mirror City did not look as barren as it used to be. There were many buildings that were constructed and looked very prosperous.

The streets were filled with people, animals and carts. There were shops on both sides of the streets.

"It is a new and prosperous city now." Chu Yang observed the pedestrians, "Not only are there cultivators, there are also many people in the streets who are normal people."

Although it was deep in the mountains, the formation that Lin Feng set up to transport people through space prevented this place from being isolated. The transport was very smooth.

There were two formations, one in the northern and one in the southern direction. They were connected to Shazhou County and the Celestial Wonders World. As the three places were connected, the movement of people and things was very integrated.

The west of the city had another formation. It was a spiritual formation that gathered the spiritual energy of the Heavens and Earth into this place. Although it was not as powerful as the formation on Yun Peak, its effects were obvious too. The spiritual energy gathered nourished everyone in the city.

Cultivators could use it to cultivate while the normal people could live longer because of its natural nourishing effect.

Besides the families of the disciples of the sect, there were many others who also moved over here to live. After the Celestial Sect of Wonders screened them, they were allowed to settle down here.

Over these years, the development of the Cloud Mirror City had given it a new look. Because the Celestial Sect of Wonders was in charge of the place, many people from Shazhou County started to move over here. The Pavilion of Heavenly Trade also set up another branch of theirs in this city, causing it to become more prosperous.

Many medium-sized and small-sized sects in Mount Kunlun also liked coming over here and socializing with the outside world. As they exported the resources of Mount Kunlun, they also imported resources from the outside world.

Everything progressed smoothly and gave these smaller sects more insurance while reducing the problems they faced. Without even leaving Mount Kunlun, they could engage in trade and did not have to be bullied by other great powers.

This also allowed them to unite closer to the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

"However, the most annoying thing of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was the imprecise location of Mount Yujing. Many people could not find them easily."

"But now, with the Cloud Mirror City and the Celestial Wonders World, although there was rapid development and their influence was growing, they also presented a target that their enemies could act on. If someone wanted to cause destruction, there is a way now." Chu Yang thought, "Although the core of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is still on Mount Yujing, the destruction of the Cloud Mirror City and the Celestial Wonders World will waste their efforts over the past few years."

Chu Yang observed the pedestrian streets of the Cloud Mirror City, "This is the path that made the sect become even stronger and powerful, but this path will present to them many hidden troubles too. The overall gains or losses can't be determined now, but we shall see how they will manage things."

As he thought till here, Chu Yang was a bit lost. As he looked into the skies, although he knew Mount Yujing might not be there, he could not help but stare into the skies.

"Qingwu..." Chu Yang took in a deep breath and looked at a middle-aged man whose back just flashed past him.

That was his Second Elder Uncle, who was a core figure in the Ethereal Mountain Sect.

Previously, he was a pawn placed in the Ethereal Mountain Sect by Wu Qingrou. In Chu Yang's memory, the destruction of the Ethereal Mountain Sect had something to do with him.

And now...

Chu Yang continued to follow him. As his scanned the streets of the Cloud Mirror City, there were only pure appreciation and curiosity in his eyes.

Chapter 653: Zhu Hongwu Is Here

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Zhu Yi and Chu Yang had interacted with each other. Xiao Yan never did and he felt that Chu Yang was weird.

Just like Zhu Yi, Xiao Yan was now in the Intermediate Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage. When he was in the Advanced Stage of the Aurous Core Stage, his powers had already defeated many Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Right now, he could tell the cultivations of the bunch of cultivators from the Ethereal Mountain Sect.

For example, Xiao Yan could tell that while Meng Chaoran kept a low profile, he had the highest cultivation among the bunch of Ethereal Mountain Sect cultivators. He was stronger than his senior, Wu Yunliang.

But Xiao Yan was not bothered by this.

Only Chu Yang gave him a weird feeling after he saw him.

It's not because Chu Yang was strong, but it was just a weird feeling.

"Am I too sensitive?" Xiao Yan laughed while shaking his head. After he confirmed that there was nothing abnormal going on, he turned his body and left.

On the ground, Wu Yunliang and the rest roamed the Cloud Mirror City under Zhao Huan's guidance.

After they left the Cloud Mirror City, the bunch of them came to the lakeside of the Mirror Lake. Wu Yunliang and the rest scanned the place and saw that a few small boats were parked near the shores of the lake.

They sensed a little and discovered that there was a small formation on the boat. Those with lower cultivations could command it as they embarked onto the boat.

Zhao Huan looked over with them and smiled, "This is prepared for the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders who are still low in their cultivations. If they have relatives living in the Cloud Mirror City, this makes it more convenient for them to travel to meet them."

Wu Yunliang and the rest smiled while nodding their heads. A portion of them were confused, "A cultivator is not totally heartless, but if he brings his entire family over, he will have too many distractions. How can he cultivate then?"

"While it may make the junior disciples distracted, it can increase the camaraderie of the sect." Wu Yunliang thought, "Whether it's good or bad, it depends on how it's managed."

"Everyone, please." Zhao Huan retrieved a jade talisman and the jade talisman started to flash with a radiance. The radiance dragged the jade talisman as it floated in the sky. It flew in the direction of Yun Peak. Wu Yunliang and the rest also ascended into the skies and followed Zhao Huan. He guided them to Yun Peak.

As they flew above the lake, Wu Yunliang, Meng Chaoran and the rest were deep in thought as they looked at the lake beneath. All of them could feel that someone huge was active in the water. That thing underneath did not hide its aura.

Zhao Huan laughed, "That is the Northern Sea Whale King. He lives in the Mirror Lake."

Wu Yunliang sighed. A demon in the Demon Lord realm had become the protector of the place. This was indeed a bold move by the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

With the Northern Sea Whale King around, even if Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and other important figures of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were not around, no one dared to trespass into Yun Peak and the Mirror Lake.

As the bunch of them flew in the skies, they could feel that a powerful vibration of mana was unleashed from a distance. As they looked closer, it was another group of people. But they came with more cultivators than the Ethereal Mountain Sect.

A dim golden dragon figure flashed across the skies. As it transcended the layers of clouds, it flew towards Yun Peak too.

Wu Yunliang, Meng Chaoran and the rest looked at one another, "They are from the Great Qin Empire."

As the other party came before them, a chubby youth that wore the same costume as Zhao Huan appeared above the golden dragon figure.

The only difference in their dressing was in the cuffs. The pattern on the cuffs of the chubby youth was a ball of flames.

He laughed while greeting Zhao Huan, "Junior Zhao."

Zhao Huan smiled back, "Senior Yan."

It was Yan Wuwei, Xiao Yan's disciple. He was all grown up already, but he was still chubby.

Yan Wuwei tilted his body and said, "Shi Yu from the Great Qin Empire has come personally, along with the Vivant Joy Holy Man and Princess Xingyun."

"Besides the various elders of the Great Qin Empire, the Sun Moon Sword Sect, Starry Sword Sect and the Huo Clan's elders are also here."

Zhao Huan looked over. Although he did not see many of them personally before, he naturally recognized the looks of the important figures.

As he observed more carefully, the leader of everyone on the golden dragon figure was Shi Yu, who dressed simply. Beside him, there were three other people. They were the Sun Radiance Swordmaster, Starry Swordmaster and Huo Xiu.

Behind Shi Yu, to his left and right, there were two people. One was an elder who looked friendly and wore a smile on his face. The other was a lady in yellow who was charming.

They were the Vivant Joy Holy Man and Princess Xingyun. Behind them were many other powerful cultivators, who were in different cultivation realms. But they all belonged to the Great Qin Empire, Sun Moon Sword Sect, Starry Sword Sect and the Huo Clan.

Although the cultivations of some cultivators were slightly low, they were young. They were obviously the future talents from the younger generation of cultivators.

"Zhao Huan from the Blizzard Valley of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is honored to meet all of the elders." Zhao Huan greeted Shi Yu and the rest.

Beside him, Wu Yunliang and the others also bowed towards Shi Yu and the other Immortal Soul Stage Elders. Any of the four great powers that were present was stronger than the Ethereal Mountain Sect.

Shi Yu nodded his head, "All of you are too kind."

After they greeted one another, Shi Yu was led to Yun Peak by Yan Wuwei. Whereas Zhao Huan guided Wu Yunliang and the rest behind the golden dragon figure.

As they got nearer to Yun Peak, a human figure came to void space. It was that of a lady. Her bright red hair flowed and swayed in the wind as if they were flames. It was Yue Hongyan.

As she saw Shi Yu and the bunch of Immortal Soul Stage Elders, she greeted them. "Thank you all for making the trip down this time. If there's anything we are not doing well, please forgive us."

Shi Yu and the rest sized up Yue Hongyan for a while before nodding their heads secretly, "This lady is courageous and motivated. She is indeed special. She is already in the Advanced Stage of the Aurous Core Stage."

With the powers of the Immortal Soul Stage Elders, they could see the cultivation realm of Yue Hongyan. She had overcome the Tribulations of the Yin Wind and her Aurous Core was flawless. Once here accumulation was sufficient, she could push for the Void Lightning Tribulations and form the Nascent Soul.

Shi Yu and the rest could tell that even though the Greater Worlds' time had passed for three years, Yue Hongyan's time of cultivation was not just three years. But it was not much longer too.

"Now it seems like, if nothing bad happens, this lady will be able to form the Nascent Soul in 50 years' time. She may even take faster than that." The Vivant Joy Holy Man looked at Shi Xingyun, "She can't match up to Shi Chongyun, but can she overtake Xingyun?"

Right now, Shi Xingyun had formed the Nascent Soul and was in the Nascent Soul Stage.

"She first showed how powerful she was in the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai. During the battle at Xiling City, she defeated the Descendant Disciple of the Great Void Sect. If she displays her potential, she is indeed powerful. The Immediate Disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders are indeed exceptional."

The Vivant Joy Holy Man thought, "But I wonder how good the two new Immediate Disciples are? Previously, the two of them left Mount Yujing to train, but it's a pity that not much news about them came. I still can't judge their potential and abilities yet."

Among Lin Feng's Immediate Disciples, the most powerful ones were Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao and Wang Lin. But they were only in the Nascent Soul Stage. However, even so, they had attracted a lot of attention in the Divine Lands.

As Lin Feng's status kept on growing, more and more people were turning their attention towards his disciples.

When people talked about the powerful cultivators in the Divine Lands, they naturally included Lin Feng within. That was because Lin Feng was publicly recognized as an important figure. To compare others with Lin Feng was not a humiliation to Lin Feng, but was being unfair to those who were compared to him.

Whereas for Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the others, there were already people comparing them to Lin Daohan, Yan Mingyue, Shen Qifeng and the other powerful, rising talents.

Of course, there were those who did not put them in the same light. After all, whether they would form the Immortal Soul was only something that could be decided by time.

But Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the others were still recognized in the Divine Lands. This was the indisputable truth.

As three years in the Greater Worlds passed, Lin Feng kept a low-profile while Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the others often went out to train. Each of them left stories about themselves in the outside world.

This time, as the Celestial Sect of Wonders organized another Sect-Opening Ceremony, the statuses of Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the others had naturally changed.

"Your Master is away. I shall be in charge of handling the elders from the Great Qin Empire, Sun Moon Sword Sect, Starry Sword Sect and the Huo Clan." Yue Hongyan said to Yan Wuwei.

Yan Wuwei bowed towards her, "I shall make my move."

Yue Hongyan looked at Zhao Huan and the cultivators from the Ethereal Mountain Sect at one side, "The Celestial Sect of Wonders extends its deepest welcome to all of you for coming over for this occasion. Please settle down at Yun Peak first. Later on, our Master will be here to meet all of you. If there's anything we are not doing well, please forgive us."

Wu Yunliang and the rest thanked her profusely. As they came here along with the elders of the various great powers, they were psychologically prepared for Lin Feng to meet these elders first before he would meet them.

Zhao Huan bowed towards Yue Hongyan, "I shall bring them to their temporary residence."

As he finished speaking, he left with Wu Yunliang and the rest.

As they just moved, everyone's expression changed slightly. They turned to look in the skies far away. They saw two streaks of golden, long rainbows cutting through the skies, coming towards Yun Peak.

Shi Yu and the other Immortal Soul Stage Elders discovered it even earlier. Shi Yu remained calm but the Vivant Joy Holy Man creased his brows.

The people coming were from the Great Zhou Empire, but they came in two batches.

On one of the rainbow streak, there was a youth in yellow robe. He looked charming and wore a crown. He had a folded fan in his hand.

He was filled with a majestic, royal aura.

It was the Great Zhou Empire's Crown Prince, Liang Yuan.

This time around, Liang Yuan came here with his actual body. At the Secret Manual of Kun Peng, it was only his avatar that came.

Previously, due to the matter of the evil cult, Liang Yuan was reprimanded by Liang Pan and his Crown Prince position became unstable.

But that was nothing more than a training to him. As he reappeared in front of everyone, he seemed to be more magnanimous.

Maybe this was the original intention of Liang Pan?

Liang Yuan might have seemed very stern and mighty previously, but he always had this evil aura around him. But right now, he seemed to have changed and appeared to be a mini-Liang Pan.

However, while Liang Yuan's status was very distinguished, everyone present were more focused on someone behind him.

There was a middle-aged man who was flashing with a radiance standing behind him. It was as if he controlled the most frightening power in the world.

This person was decked in expensive clothing and he wore a purplish-gold crown on his head. There were two streaks of hair in front of his head that were slightly white and his hands were as clean as jade.

He was the Grand Advisor of the Great Zhou Empire, the Marquis of Xuanji, Zhu Hongwu!

Chapter 654: Father and Son Meet Again

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Zhu Hongwu respected position and status. He stood behind Liang Yuan because he respected Liang Yuan's position as the Crown Prince. That was why he was willing to be behind him and let him take the limelight.

But everyone present knew that Zhu Hongwu was the main character as the Great Zhou Empire came to Mount Kunlun.

Zhu Hongwu was the Grand Advisor and was Liang Yuan's Master. When the both of them met under normal circumstances, Zhu Hongwu did not need to greet Liang Yuan. On the other hand, Liang Yuan greeted Zhu Hongwu.

But now that they came here together, they represented the Great Zhou Empire. Since Liang Yuan was the Crown Prince, Zhu Hongwu allowed him to steal the limelight.

As to why Liang Yuan was said to have become a changed person, one reason was because while he was now standing in front of Zhu Hongwu, he still remained calm and stable. His expression was stable enough to handle the pressure of the situation. But he did express sufficient respect for Zhu Hongwu. Although he was in front of Zhu Hongwu, he tilted his body slightly in the direction of Zhu Hongwu.

Only when the bunch of them were about to land on Yun Peak and in front of Shi Yu did Liang Yuan straighten his standing position. Right now, he was representing the entire Great Zhou Empire.

Besides Liang Yuan, the other Great Zhou Empire cultivators followed behind Zhu Hongwu respectfully. The Immortal Soul Stage Elders did the same too.

What seemed a little off was that the other streak of golden rainbow that contained another bunch of people seemed to be completely independent of Zhu Hongwu and Liang Yuan.

The leader on that streak of golden rainbow was a youth. He wore a purplish-gold robe and wore a golden crown on his head. Around his waist, there was a yellow waist belt.

His body was very proportionate and he kept short hair on his head. He looked charming and blessed. Around both of his temples, there was the circulation of dim golden blood, as if they were the Sun.

This guy was the Marquis of Jinghuan. He looked at Zhu Hongwu and Liang Yuan. The way he looked at Zhu Hongwu seemed to be more peaceful, whereas the way he looked at Liang Yuan seemed to contain a hint of disdain.

Liang Yuan seemed to despise the Marquis of Jinghuan. He looked at Shi Yu, "Elder Shi, I have come to Mount Kunlun to participate in the Sect-Opening Ceremony of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Please accept my greetings."

He greeted Shi Yu with the formalities between cultivators, rather than one between countries.

Shi Yu nodded his head in return, "You are too kind."

Zhu Hongwu was sizing up Shi Yu and he said calmly, "So it's just an avatar."

After receiving Lin Feng's invitation, Shi Yu had matters to attend to and could not free himself up. Thus, he sent his avatar. With his power and position, although this was only his avatar, it was as if he was personally there. He was not being rude.

Similarly, Liang Pan couldn't come as he was busy. He did not send his avatar, but at least he sent Zhu Hongwu over. Otherwise, just by sending Liang Yuan would not be polite enough.

Shi Yu looked at Zhu Hongwu, "Oh? From your words, it seems like if my actual body was here, you will try to carry out your assassination plan?"

His words were very sudden and caused the cultivators from the Great Qin Empire to change their expressions.

Zhu Hongwu maintained his expression and said in a calm voice, "The Great Zhou and the Great Qin are still on the same side, thus I won't do that."

"If that's not the case, if your actual body came, I will love to try it out."

As he said this, the Vivant Joy Holy Man's expression changed immediately. The Great Qin Empire cultivators were furious too.

The Sun Radiance Swordmaster and the Starry Swordmaster raised their brows. Huo Xiu remained expressionless, but he turned his head around. He looked at Zhu Hongwu.

Zhu Hongwu was very relaxed still and his palms were by his sides. His fingers were opened and he only made light actions.

But beneath these light actions, there seemed to be a terrifying power. This caused everyone to feel terrified.

Zhu Hongwu did not even look at the Vivant Joy Holy Man, Sun Radiance Swordmaster and the Starry Swordmaster. He looked at Huo Xiu briefly, "After forming the Immortal Soul Second Level, you have sharpened a good blade out. In the past, the top cultivator from the Four Great Aristocratic Families in the Great Qin Empire was Shi Wu, but now, it's you."

Huo Xiu remained expressionless.

During the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, he had reached the peak of the Immortal Soul First Level. He was only a step away from reaching the next realm.

After that, Shi Tianhao fought Song Qingyuan and Huo Xiu also joined in the wager. After winning Cao Wei's Dark Polar Blaze Stone, he used that as a grindstone to sharpen his blade and perfected his own blade cultivation. Eventually, he reached the next realm, the Immortal Soul Second Level.

His powers were immense and abhijnas were powerful. Among the same realm of cultivators, there were hardly anyone who could challenge himself. Just like Zhu Hongwu said, Huo Xiu was now capable of winning Shi Wu.

Zhu Hongwu looked at him and said, "Among the Immortal Soul Stage Elders in the Great Qin Empire, apart from the royal family, you are the first person that I need to break a sweat in order to defeat."

While these words from Zhu Hongwu sounded shameless, they contained a weird power of making others convinced of it.

It was as if making him break a sweat was something very rare and something that Huo Xiu should be proud of.

Huo Xiu continued to remain expressionless and said indifferently, "If you want to fight, let's fight. Whatever the result, we will know then. The Asura Doomsday Blade of mine has to see blood every time it's drawn."

Zhu Hongwu picked his brow lightly and did not stand on ceremony. The ten fingers that were wide apart previously were not gathered at the center of his palms.

As he made a fist, it seemed as if he was grabbing onto the entire world in his hands.

Just as both parties made their move, the void space above Yun Peak jerked and a streak of Purple Clouds surged out, converting into a staircase. It landed in front of Shi Yu and the rest.

Yue Hongyan said, "Your Majesty, Asura Holy Man, Vivant Joy Holy Man, Sun Radiance Swordmaster, Starry Swordmaster and all fellow elders, please ascend the staircase immediately."

Shi Yu was calm throughout. He nodded his head and gathered the Great Qin Empire cultivators before ascending the stairs. The Vivant Joy Holy Man followed closely behind. The Sun Radiance Swordmaster and Starry Swordmaster followed suit and used their mana to retrieve their disciples before bringing them up the staircase.

Huo Xiu looked at Zhu Hongwu before using his own mana to retrieve his own clan members before ascending the staircase.

Zhu Hongwu did not stop him and stood at where he was calmly. Both his hands returned behind his back and he relaxed. He watched as everyone ascended the staircase and disappeared.

The Marquis of Jinghuan said, "Although it's just an avatar, in the heart of the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the importance of the Great Qin is still above Great Zhou."

"He was trying to tell us that this is his territory." Zhu Hongwu's gaze flashed and he said, "Right now, we are still on the same page. That's why we shall not bother with these minor things first. There's plenty of time in the future."

The Marquis of Jinghuan laughed and did not continue with the same topic. His vision landed on Yue Hongyan and he sized her up. He complimented, "Not bad, not bad, indeed not bad! It's only been so long, but you have reached the Advanced Stage of the Aurous Core Stage."

"You are so talented and beautiful, no wonder I have been missing you."

Yue Hongyan remained indifferent and replied, "The Great Zhou is here today for such frivolous purposes?"

The Marquis of Jinghuan shook his head, "Relax, relax, I am here today because I was sent by the Great Zhou Empire to observe the Sect-Opening Ceremony. I don't have to woo you today. I have plenty of time in the future."

"Since it's a joyous occasion, I will be a polite guest."

The Marquis of Jinghuan said till here and he looked at Zhu Hongwu, "Furthermore, you don't have to treat me like an enemy. After all, the person who destroyed the Arctic State was the Marquis of Xuanji."

Yue Hongyan's expression became colder and colder. Her crimson red pupils seemed to be raging with flames. But as others looked at the flames in her eyes, they could only feel cold, as if they were being frozen.

Zhu Hongwu looked at the Marquis of Jinghuan before looking at Yue Hongyan without changing his expression. He said calmly, "This is fate. When the time comes, the progress of history cannot be stopped. Whoever tries to do so will be lost in history."

"I know you are an immigrant of the Arctic State and was also a member of the Covenant of Liefeng. As you caused destruction and plotted assassinations, you are a heinous criminal in the eyes of the Great Zhou Empire."

"I shall not pursue this with you today. I shall advise you to know your position and not make any more mistakes." Zhu Hongwu said indifferently, "In the past, we removed the Covenant of Liefeng and the Arctic State. For you to avert these disasters, it's part of your destiny. Since you have averted these disasters, you should cherish your life more. Don't think of anything else. If you dare to commit any more crimes, your luck may run out."

"You are confusing things and using twisted logic again."

A crack appeared in void space and Zhu Yi walked out. He looked at his own father.

Zhu Hongwu looked at Zhu Yi and said, "You unfilial son. You have adopted some twisted logic yourself and you are spouting gibberish now. You don't respect your elders or your father. Just through this, we can tell who's the one with the twisted logic."

Zhu Yi said, "I treat you the same way you treat me. Am I supposed to treat you well in return for how badly you treat me? How you treat me, I shall treat you the same way back."

"Unfilial son. While you are proficient in your literary skills, your reasoning is skewed." Zhu Hongwu was not furious, instead, he laughed. It was as if he heard a funny joke, "You did well in the examination, and some people are already calling you Mencius. You are not even close. Even if you are one, sages have parents too." (Translator's Note: Mencius is a scholar that was awarded with the title of a sage.)

Zhu Yi laughed too, "For someone who is logical, even if the king was wrong, he will correct him. What more his own father?"

He looked at Zhu Yi, "Furthermore, you have lost your sense of humanity. We don't have to talk about anything father and son."

As Zhu Hongwu's eyes blinked, a holy light surged, "Unfilial son, you are deviating more and more from the correct path."

With regards to Zhu Hongwu' words, Zhu Yi did not react to them. He only said, "Whether I am on the correct path, it's not decided by you. It doesn't mean that if you say I'm on the wrong path, then I'm on the wrong path. You may think that you are being logical, but your logic is skewed."

"I am following my heart, thus the path I am taking is correct. But I'm destined to take a different path from you."

Zhu Yi remained indifferent, but his words were sharp, "You view your path as the correct one. Those who don't walk the same path as you are naturally evil to you. You use your power to get your position and enforce your beliefs upon others. You are deluded."

He looked at Zhu Hongwu and laughed, "Moreover, are you that powerful? I can't deny that you have power, but are you that powerful such that your word is king and the rules are set by you?"

"My father, you should not deceive yourself and live in your own world."

Zhu Hongwu looked at Zhu Yi quietly, "The one who is living in his own world is you, not me."

"I believe that you are different than you were before, that's why you dare to speak to me in this manner." Zhu Hongwu placed both his hands in front of him and opened his palms. His fingers curled up before extending. He repeated this action, "But let me tell you, you are no different now than before."

"The old you was weak and had to submit to me. You had food to eat, a house to live in, books to read. But eventually, you have developed twisted logic."

Zhu Hongwu said indifferently, "The current you seem to be a respected talent. Reaching the Nascent Soul Stage can be considered an achievement, but you still submit to your Master. Without your Master, I will have taken you down."

He lifted his eyelids, "I may break a sweat trying to defeat Huo Xiu, but against you, it's nothing to me."

Zhu Yi was not troubled and replied, "Parents indeed go through a lot to raise their kids, but can you touch your heart and say that we are close with each other? To you, regardless whether it's me or any other person, we are just objects with life."

"Just like spare parts, we are shaped to be placed in a position you want us to be. In the end, you are just fulfilling your selfish desires and your desire to be in control."

"If you can't be satisfied, then we should just be killed and removed." Zhu Yi was also indifferent and looked at Zhu Hongwu fearlessly, "The same logic applies for the others, such as my mother."

"In the past, you killed my mother with the hands of Lady Shao. Now, you want to kill me too. Three years ago, when I went to Tianjing for the imperial examination, I was almost killed the day before the examination. Without your approval, can Lady Shao touch a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator? When I overcame the Void Lightning Tribulations, you were even observing. Do you think I can't feel the killing intent in your aura?"

Zhu Yi stared at Zhu Hongwu directly, "Without my Master's King of the Boundless Sea protecting me, you would have taken action on me, wouldn't you?"

"I have no interest in killing you, but I am just trying to be logical and seek redress for my mother. I want you to repent in front of her. You never admit to your mistakes, or should I say, you never think you are in the wrong. You even think that I am shaming you and thus you want to get rid of me."

"I shall treat you the way you treat me." Zhu Yi started laughing suddenly and he looked at Zhu Hongwu. "Till now, I have no intent on killing you, but I will destroy your beliefs personally. I will let you understand your own mistakes and realized how ridiculous you have always been."

To someone like Zhu Hongwu, this was probably worse than killing him.

Zhu Yi brushed his sleeves and said, "Honestly speaking, you are very powerful. When we were in your residence, what cultivation were you in? Immortal Soul First Level. I was only an ordinary person then, without any cultivation."

"But now? I am in the Intermediate Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, while you are in the Immortal Soul Second Level. The gap between an Immortal Soul First Level and the Immortal Soul Second Level is indeed very huge. To bridge the gap would probably take more time than for an ordinary person to reach the Intermediate Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage."

"But the question is, how did you even bridge the gap? You only managed to do so by cutting all emotional ties with my mother."

"You are nothing much."

Zhu Hongwu replied, "The Immortal Soul is something you can't understand. For you to say something like this now, it is indeed ridiculous."

Although the both of them still spoke quite calmly, their words were very sharp. They left scars on the beliefs of each other.

Zhu Yi smiled, "Don't worry, father. No matter which cultivation realm you reach, I will find you when I form the Immortal Soul. Don't stay too long at the peak of the Immortal Soul Second Level, otherwise you will be overtaken by me soon."

As he said this, there was a huge uproar in the Great Zhou Empire camp.

Zhu Yi was making a declaration. When he formed the Immortal Soul, he would battle Zhu Hongwu, even though Zhu Hongwu was in the Immortal Soul Second Level and might become even stronger in the future.

Zhu Hongwu was not a normal Immortal Soul Second Level cultivator. Although he rarely did things on his own in these few years, before he reached the Immortal Soul Second Level, he was invincible as he challenged those who were in the same realm. He had never lost before.

During the War of Buddha Annihilation, he even defeated the powerful monks from the Great Thunderclap Temple.

Now that he was in the Immortal Soul Second Level, he should be invincible as before. He might even have a chance against an Immortal Soul Third Level cultivator.

Those who had experienced the War of Buddha Annihilation could remember that Zhu Hongwu hid a certain form of power on his body which was very frightening. During the process of destroying the Great Thunderclap Temple, it was a deciding factor.

Zhu Yi understood all these things. But as he faced Zhu Hongwu, he was fearless. On the other hand, he remained calm and his cultivation heart was pure. It seemed as if he understood the way of the Heavens and Earth very clearly.

The atmosphere on Yun Peak seemed to have tensed up and everyone gathered to watch both Zhu Yi and Zhu Hongwu.

The Marquis of Jinghuan clapped his hands lightly and said, "All of us have witnessed the promise today."

Liang Yuan looked at Marquis of Jinghuan once before looking at Zhu Yi. He said, "Comrade Zhu, you seemed to be set in your decision?"

Zhu Yi replied, "If the reasoning is unclear, once we clarify it, the problem will be settled."

"From when this idea was birthed in your head, you were already wrong." Zhu Hongwu moved his fingers, "You need to know that you are being unfilial."

Zhu Yi laughed, "We are complete opposites."

At this point, everyone sensed something and turned to look at the horizon afar. They saw a white smoke diffusing towards Yun Peak.

Many people were surprised. That was because the vibration of mana came from a Great Void Sect cultivator!

"Did we come at the wrong time?" A lady laughed. Above the white smoke, there was a lady in green. She looked beautiful and her dress was sewn with the image of a white cloud. It was Yan Mingyue.

Beside her, there was a guy in green. He did not seem old and looked very calm.

He had an average build and ordinary looks. He also had an ordinary stature and seemed very ordinary as a person.

But as he saw this person, Zhu Hongwu's expression changed for the first time since he arrived on Yun Peak. He looked at this guy, "Lin Daohan?"

"Greetings all, I am Lin Daohan from the Great Void Sect." The guy clasped his palm and fist together. His voice was also very normal. It was neither deep and hoarse not high and clear.

But all of this seemed to contain a miraculous concept of simplicity within.

Lin Daohan was the most exceptional talent of the younger generation in the Great Void Sect.

Behind Lin Daohan and Yan Mingyue, there were a few other youths. They looked stern and their powers seemed far-reaching. They were all successors of the Great Void Sect.

Beside them was Xu Yunsheng, who was in charge of receiving them. He went on top of Yun Peak and greeted Zhu Yi, "Master, the various elders and comrades of the Great Void Sect are here."

"Go back, I will be here." Zhu Yi nodded his head slightly and Xu Yunsheng descended the mountain quickly and returned to Mount Kunlun.

In the Great Zhou Empire Camp, there were a few Immortal Soul Stage Elder, which included the Azure Pulse Swordmaster from the Great Barren Sword Sect and Lei Lie from the Lei Clan.

As Zhu Yi and Zhu Hongwu argued with each other, they were all quiet. But at this point, the Azure Pulse Swordmaster and Lei Lie looked at each other. They could sense the confusion in each other's mind.

Although both parties had been relatively safe over the past three years, during the battle at Xiling City three years ago, Lin Feng clearly stated his stand towards the Great Void Sect.

The Great Zhou Empire, Great Qin Empire and the Royal House of the Northern Tribes also formed an alliance with the Celestial Sect of Wonders as they had the same profit motive.

The Great Barren Sword Sect and Lei Clan came to the Great Zhou's side, while the Sun Moon Sword Sect, Starry Sword Sect and Lei Clan came to the Great Qin's side.

Who knew that the Great Void Sect would also come for the Sect-Opening Ceremony. From the looks of it, they seemed to have been invited.

While Yan Mingyue's stand had become unclear over the past few years, Lin Daohan was a core figure in the Great Void Sect. His seniority might be low, but he was an exceptional talent who was being nurtured and he was the rising talent in the Conservative Faction of the Great Void Sect.

The Azure Pulse Swordmaster and Lei Lie thought of the same thing, "It seems like this gathering is more complicated than what we expected."

"However…" The Azure Pulse Swordmaster's gaze circled the few Great Void Sect cultivators behind Lin Daohan and Yan Mingyue. "The younger cultivators from the Great Void Sect will also be involved in the sparring?"

Lin Daohan and the rest came suddenly, but did not make the atmosphere around less tense. Both Zhu Hongwu and Zhu Yi stopped conversing with each other, but the atmosphere became tenser.

At this point, the void space above Yun Peak jerked again. Two streaks of Purple Clouds converted into a staircase and landed above Yun Peak.

Chapter 656: Join the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Seek the Rightful Justice

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

In the Grand Heavens Pavilion, Lin Feng was sitting on the main seat quietly.

In the pavilion, Liang Yuan, Zhu Hongwu, the Marquis of Jinghuan, Azure Pulse Grandmaster and Lei Lie sat on the guest seats according to their statuses.

And opposite them were Lin Daohan and Yan Mingyue.

The Great Qin's Shi Wu, Vivant Joy Holy Man, Huo Xiu, the Sun Radiance Swordmaster and the Starry Swordmaster were all sent down Mount Yujing by Lin Feng. They were settled down on Yun Peak and rested there.

Lin Feng looked at Zhu Hongwu, Lin Daohan, Yan Mingyue and the rest in front of him and he said, "Two days later, it will be the Sect-Opening Ceremony. Before it, I hope that all of you can settle down on Yun Peak."

Lin Daohan looked at Lin Feng peacefully, "Master Lin, I hope that you will be more concerned about the matter at the Ancient Desolate Galaxy. If there's a way for you to open another pathway towards the Ancient Desolate Galaxy, its influence will be immense. Especially if the demons don't know about it."

Lin Feng laughed, "If there's any developments, rest assured that I will inform all of you."

"Thank you, Master Lin." Lin Daohan and the rest nodded their heads. After they conversed, all of them descended the mountain too and settled down on Yun Peak.

Before they left, Lin Feng said, "Zhu Hongwu, I don't plan on interfering in the matters between you, Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan, but I hope that you can know your place well for the next few days. Otherwise, I will tell Liang Pan to come over to take care of you."

Zhu Hongwu's expression changed and he turned his body suddenly. He stared at Lin Feng. After a while, he took in a deep breath and said, "If they know their places first…"

Lin Feng interrupted, "Go and learn what the boundaries are first."

Zhu Hongwu was interrupted and his brows raised. Around him, there was a subtle but powerful aura that was brewing, summoning his powers to become even more dominant.

This state was already beyond the standard that Zhu Hongwu normally showed.

But as he moved, he felt that Lin Feng exuded an even more frightening aura. The Grand Heavens Pavilion seemed to become one with Mount Yujing and the world seemed to have only the two of them remaining, as arch-enemies.

Lin Feng looked calm, but the frightening aura of his pressurized Zhu Hongwu.

"You should thank the both of them. That's because I intended to leave you the both of them, that's why you can leave Mount Yujing alive." Lin Feng's tone was indifferent, but his gaze was cold. "Maybe, I can also crush your virtual entity and return you back to the Immortal Soul First Level? But in this way, it may be uninteresting when my disciples reach the Immortal Soul Stage."

"Whoever joins the Celestial Sect of Wonders will get their rightful justice. Those who owe them will have to pay them. Zhu Hongwu, you better watch yourself."

Zhu Hongwu stared at Lin Feng deeply and he retracted his aura. He did not speak and left.

Liang Yuan and the Azure Pulse Swordmaster sighed before bidding goodbye to Lin Feng. They left the mountain too.

Lei Lie stopped for moment before clasping his palm and fist together at Lin Feng, "Master Lin, I have something to ask. If this is too abrupt, please forgive me."

Lin Feng gestured, "No worries, you can ask me."

Lei Lie said, "I have a good-for-nothing descendant in the Lei Clan, who left the clan a while back. He even hurt people from other clans. There are signs that he proceeded in the west direction and came to Mount Kunlun. Someone interacted with him and he said that he had the intention of joining the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

"The acceptance of disciples is handled by my own disciples. Whether there's such a person, I can't answer you now." Lin Feng replied, but he changed his words quickly, "But if there's someone like that, I will check whether he did join."

"If he did not join, then you will have to settle your own problem yourself. But if he did join, we will investigate accordingly. We won't just listen to the story from one side."

Lei Lie was a little stunned while Lin Feng was as calm as usual. "If he is really a good-for-nothing, he would have been unable to pass our test. Comrade Lei, please rest assured. You should settle your problem quickly then."

"But if he did manage to join us, then I will seek justice for him. If he doesn't have the will to achieve something, then it's fine. But if he does, I will support him."

Lei Lie stared at Lin Feng directly. After a while, his eyelids drooped and he did not say anything further.

Under normal circumstances, people would give him face on account of his cultivation. After all, his disciple might not have join the sect. Or if he just joined, he could be kicked out easily, to prevent the extra trouble and also that would allow the deepening the ties between both parties.

But with Lin Feng's current position, if he wanted to protect someone, Lei Lie could do nothing about it.

After all, Lin Feng was even capable of teaching Zhu Hongwu a lesson.

Before Lin Feng achieved everything that he did today, he was bold enough to argue with the Great Void Sect for his disciple.

Now that Lin Feng had built a solid foundation for the Celestial Sect of Wonders, he was even more confident in his words.

Lei Lie looked a little confused and he bade goodbye to Lin Feng, "Since this is the case, sorry to have bothered you, Master Lin."

Lin Feng looked as Lei Lie left. He revealed a smile on his face, "Interesting, interesting. From his words, it must be someone whose cultivation is very low."

"But for such a person, even if he did something heinous, it can't be that the leader of the clan himself will come searching for him. He even requested for me to help him." Lin Feng shook his head and laughed, "Right now, owing me a favor is not cheap. The Lei Clan is willing to pay such a price just for an ordinary descendant?"

Lin Feng used his fingers to tap his seat lightly and said, "Yuanfang."

A youth who wore a purple robe and was tall and thin with slightly dark complexion came before Lin Feng. He answered, "Yes, Master."

It was Li Yuanfang.

"Did you hear everything?" Lin Feng laughed. "Yuanfang, what do you think?" (Translator's Note: At this point, Lin Feng pronounced Yuanfang wrongly. The 'fang' word here is pronounced in a different way from his name.)

"Master, it's Yuanfang, not Yuanfang." Li Yuanfang said calmly. With regards to how Lin Feng pronounced his name wrongly, Li Yuanfang was very calm as he reacted to it. After reiterating the pronunciation of his name, he followed by saying, "The descendant that Elder Lei was talking about, he must have some other secrets. It may be important, or it may be a scandal for the Lei Clan, that's why Elder Lei was so uptight about him."

Li Yuanfang clasped his palm and fist together, "We have brought those who want to join the sect back to the mountain. During the Sect Opening Ceremony, we should be able to detect any abnormalities. But if that person is still on the way, it will be difficult to discover him. I will go to Mount Kunlun to patrol again. Let me see if there's anyone suspicious."

Lin Feng shook his head and smiled, "You don't have to be so uptight. Just take things slowly. Everyone has their own destiny."

Li Yuanfang pondered for a moment before nodding his head, "Yes, Master."

Lin Feng stood up from his seat and put both his hands behind him. He walked out of the Grand Heavens Pavilion and walked on the top of Mount Yujing. He looked down the mountain, through void space and on Yun Peak.

Above Yun Peak, Zhao Huan led the disciples from the Ethereal Mountain Sect to their temporary residences. After he settled them down, he emerged again and greeted Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan. After that, he saw Xu Yunsheng talking to another youth who wore a tight-fitting purple costume.

This youth had well-built facial features. He carried a sense of freedom between his brows and the cuffs of his clothing had the pattern of flames. It was Liu Xiafeng, another disciple under Xiao Yan.

It was him who was in charge of receiving the Great Zhou Empire cultivators to Yun Peak. Who knew that when they just landed, before he could meet up with Yue Hongyan, Zhu Hongwu and Shi Yu, Huo Xiu and the rest were already ready to clash with one another. After that, it was followed by the argument between Zhu Yi and his father. He was even less entitled to interrupt then.

"Senior Xu, Senior Liu." As Zhao Huan saw the both of them, he greeted them.

Xu Yunsheng nodded his head, "All of you, return to your respective stations. There are more we have to do next. Although the great powers are basically here, there will be other smaller powers who will come next. Although they are not invited, they are coming here to view the Sect-Opening Ceremony. As they are friendly towards us, we should treat them courteously too."

Zhao Huan sighed, "We are so busy. Junior Zhou is having it good. He can cultivate in the Nirvana World."

Liu Xiafeng heard this and laughed, "Yuncong? Just let him cultivate in peace. He is worse than Ying Luozha at receiving guests. We should be contented if they don't cause any trouble."

Zhao Huan laughed, "That's right, that's right."

"With Junior Zhou's character, he is indeed not suitable for receiving guests." Xu Yunsheng heard this and shook his head too, "But to say that he is worse than Ying Luozha may be a little too exaggerated. At most, Junior Zhou will leave the guests unhappy. But Ying Luozha may cause trouble."

Liu Xiafeng laughed, "I know that naturally. But with you around, Ying Luozha won't try anything funny. He won't want to seem inferior to you."

"As for Yuncong, ugh!" Liu Xiafeng sighed, "In reality, Yuncong is not bad. He is a little similar to Third Elder Uncle. They are both cold on the outside but warm in the inside."

Zhao Huan pursed his lips, "Not many people can handle his temper. Among all of us, I think only you can talk to him?"

Liu Xiafeng laughed, "When you interact with him long enough, all of you will be the same."

The small talk between the disciples was heard by Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan, but they did not bother too much.

Yue Hongyan was very calm now and did not seem to be furious. But she looked stern, as if flames were raging in her eyes. She stared at Zhu Yi, "Second Senior, I'm sorry. When my cultivation becomes higher, I will find Zhu Hongwu."

Zhu Yi did not have the intention of killing Zhu Hongwu. He only wanted to destroy his beliefs.

Yue Hongyan wanted to find Zhu Hongwu in the future to kill him and revenge her country.

Zhu Yi said, "It's said that conflicts between countries should not lead to war. One state will be suffering, while the other state will be branded the hero. But it was the Great Zhou that violated the Arctic State in the past. It was a one-sided attack, accompanied by merciless killings. I can't take it as war."

He shook his head and did not continue speaking, "Fourth Junior, it's fine if only I'm around here. Go and check on Fifth Junior."

Yue Hongyan said, "I shall leave here to you then." As she finished speaking, she left Yun Peak and went to Mount Yujing.

As she reached Mount Yujing, Yue Hongyan walked towards a rainbow cloud bridge. This bridge was connected to Yang Qing's Nirvana World.

As she reached the Nirvana World, she entered the place and walked on the pathway. Yue Hongyan heard Yang Qing's gentle voice, "This part is not right. You have to re-summon your Yang energy and progress smoothly. You were too anxious."

"Don't be anxious. Do it smoothly, do it smoothly."

Yue Hongyan walked on the pathway and heard Yang Qing's voice, which made her smile. She stopped and did not hide her own mana vibration.

From the deep ends of the place, Yang Qing's voice rang, "Is it Fourth Senior?"

"Am I disturbing your lesson?" Yue Hongyan continued to advance forward.

Chapter 657: Two Unusual Youths

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

After Yue Hongyan made a few turns, she came to the deeper regions of the Nirvana World. There was a huge stone house that covered a vast space. The roof of the house was also very high.

Rather than a stone house, it was more like a huge court. The interior design of the court was rather simple. There were a few prayer mats on the floor and Yang Qing and Zhou Yuncong sat on their knees while facing each other.

Yang Qing wore a gentle smile on his face and seemed very cordial.

He stood up from the floor and greeted Yue Hongyan, "Fourth Senior, all of you must have been very busy during this period."

Yue Hongyan laughed, "No worries, you have more important things to do. You are not skiving intentionally. In the past, you have worked tirelessly for the sect. The few of us should thank you instead."

Yang Qing heard this and he smiled while shaking his head, "It's not tiring for me. Doing it for the sect makes me happy."

As he said, he lowered his head at Zhou Yuncong, "Yuncong?"

He was also decked in purple, but the style of his clothes was different from Yang Qing's long robe. It was more similar to the tight-fitting purple costume of Liu Xiafeng and the rest. But the pattern on the cuffs of his costume was a circle, formed from a golden semi-circle and a green semi-circle. This showed that he was Yang Qing's Immediate Disciple.

His facial features made him look charming, but he looked a little stern too. Right now, he was pondering hard about Yang Qing's guidance. He was not aware of everything around him.

Only when Yang Qing called him did he regain his awareness and turned to look at him. After that, he noticed Yue Hongyan.

He stood up and greeted Yue Hongyan. After greeting her, he remained stoned to the ground and did not speak.

Yang Qing looked at Zhou Yuncong before shaking his head. He was Yang Qing's only Immediate Disciple. Yang Qing and Zhu Yi stumbled upon him when they went out to train after the previous Sect-Opening Ceremony. After he was brought back to the mountain, he passed the basic test and became a Foundational Disciple. After that, he passed the major test and became Yang Qing's Successive Disciple.

After interacting with him long enough, Yang Qing began to understand his disciple's personality and knew that he was naturally like that.

But it was already better than the first time he met him.

Yue Hongyan seemed to be used to it too. As she looked at him, she sized him up before nodding her head, "Improvement yet again."

Yang Qing replied, "There's not much problem in terms of cultivation. But I'm not proficient in physical martial arts, so there's not much I can guide him in this aspect. Although I can help him nurture his flesh, I can't train his body without powerful physical martial arts abhijnas."

He laughed bitterly, "I only know the Fist of the Eight Trigrams and I'm not that good at it either."

The Fist of the Eight Trigrams was like the Eight Spells of the Heavens and Earth. It was also consolidated by Xiao Yan and the bunch of them. It was also one of the foundational abhijnas of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

The difficulty of cultivating it was not high, but its powers were not ordinary. Besides helping to strengthen one's foundation, it could also be a useful abhijna to use in battle.

When this abhijna was first created, the main contributors were Shi Tianhao, Xiao Yan and Yue Hongyan.

Yang Qing knew it too, and with his current cultivation, he could unleash its full power. When he said that he was not that good with it, that was because he was in front of Yue Hongyan.

He used this abhijna, which he was rather good in, to guide Zhou Yuncong. But at the very end, Yue Hongyan understood the abhijna better than him.

After Yue Hongyan heard Yang Qing's words, she nodded her head steadily, "I shall show you once, Yuncong, observe carefully."

After she finished saying, Yue Hongyan stepped onto the ground, causing it to shake gently. Her entire person seemed to be rooted to the ground, and she seemed to become one with the ground. She was very stable.

The starting pose of the Fist of the Eight Trigrams, Heavenly Earth Print, was not through the hands, but through the legs. As both feet touched the ground, it seemed to be the carrier of all matter in the Heavens and Earth, exuding a comforting stability.

Following that, Yue Hongyan kept her left fist beside her waist, making her seem like a mighty mountain in an instant. A mountain that seemed to never collapse. It was the Mount Gen Fist Frame of the Fist of the Eight Trigrams.

Yue Hongyan kept her left fist beside her waist and it shook gently. It was not that she could not control her powers. On the contrary, the gentle shaking of her fist contained a destructive, explosive strength. It was like lightning hidden among the clouds in the Nine Heavens, that was yet to be unleashed, but could explode anytime.

Zhou Yuncong stared hard at Yue Hongyan's actions. He corroborated it with what he had learnt, and recognized that this was the Explosive Lightning Fist of the Fist of the Eight Trigrams.

As Yue Hongyan stood on the ground, the top of her skull shone with a radiance. Although she was inside the stone house, she seemed to be communicating with the skies. She was filled with energy and all of it was gathered at the top of her head. There seemed to be an invisible line that was guiding her up.

Although all her energy was gathered at the top of her head, Yue Hongyan's body remained stable. She seemed to be like a pillar that connected the Heavens and the Earth.

Fist of the Eight Trigrams, Heavenly Pillar.

Just like the Heavenly Earth Print and the Mount Gen Fist Frame, the Heavenly Pillar was not just used for cultivation, it was also useful in battle.

Yue Hongyan's left fist was kept beside her waist while her right hand turned slowly in front of her body, as if she was stretching it or trying to resist a powerful force. She was exhibiting the DuiZe Scattered Hands.

As her right arm moved, her right hand fingers opened and closed. The style of the fist kept on changing. At times, it seemed to be jumping like flames. At times, it seemed to be as gentle as flowing water, enacting the Lihuo Fist and the Kanshui Fist at the same time.

Yue Hongyan remained calm and breathed in slowly. But as she released her aura, she seemed very ferocious.

"Flashing Wind. Not only does it absorb energy to cleanse one's blood flow, it can also be used for one's body cultivation, or be used in a fist mantra."

"Although it is the foundational abhijna of the sect, the real skill is only witnessed through simplicity. Fourth Senior, you have really exhibited the true meaning of these words."

She enacted the entire contents of the Fist of the Eight Trigrams in an instant. Her hands did not stop moving, as she exhibited eight different mantras of the Fist of the Eight Trigrams.

Her actions were quick, but each and every one of them was observed carefully by Zhou Yuncong. She combined a miraculous rhythm within. It seemed fast, but it was actually slow.

As she finished showing the Fist of the Eight Trigrams, Yue Hongyan managed to walk one round around the court and she returned to her original, starting position.

She started with the Heavenly Earth Print, and ended with it in the same position.

Within the court, above the ground, she left a clear trail of fist prints. They represented the images of the Eight Trigrams

The eight images combined to form a circle, as if they were carved onto void space. But they were actually combined through Yue Hongyan's powers and they almost consolidated to become real.

Yang Qing laughed, "Thanks, Fourth Senior."

Yue Hongyan shook her head, "To me, it's nothing much. Yuncong is intelligent, I believe that he will gain from this."

Yang Qing turned over to look and saw that Zhou Yuncong was looking at the trail of prints that Yue Hongyan left.

"Yuncong?"

Yang Qing sighed, "Did you forget something?"

Zhou Yuncong realized and looked at Yue Hongyan, saying, "Thank you Fourth Elder Aunt." As he said finished, he turned to the prints again.

He pondered for a while, before jumping into action. As he followed the prints, he also displayed the Fist of the Eight Trigrams.

Zhou Yuncong learnt the Fist of the Eight Trigrams from Yang Qing before. But as he looked at Yue Hongyan today, he had a brand-new understanding of it.

When he first started learning, Zhou Yuncong was quite unclear about it. But he did not stop. After he finished practicing the Fist of the Eight Trigrams, he stopped and continued thinking about it. After that, he did it for the second time, third time…every time he finished it once, he would stop and think about it again before embarking on the next try.

Yue Hongyan looked at him cultivating and relished what she saw. She was one of the creators of this abhijna. She could naturally see that while Zhou Yuncong developed a deeper understanding of it, he was also trying to make it one that was his own too.

"He is learning and improvising." Yue Hongyan turned her head and said, "Fifth Junior, your efforts all these years have not been wasted."

Yang Qing laughed, "He is intelligent. I am only just guiding him."

Yue Hongyan waved her hand, "I shall let you handle things in the future. I shall go over to Yun Peak. Let's chat when we meet again."

Yang Qing nodded his head, "Take care, Fourth Senior."

Yue Hongyan left Mount Yujing and came to Yun Peak. She saw Zhu Yi and Shi Xingyun talking to each other.

Shi Xingyun scanned Yun Peak. As she saw that it was filled with buildings, spiritual energy and lights were shining towards the Nine Heavens, she could not help but laugh, "This Yun Peak and Mirror Lake make a decent fortune land."

After many years of development, while Yun Peak was only the residence of Foundational Disciples, it had become a successful place.

At the center of the top of the peak, there was a pavilion that was structured in the same way as the Grand Heavens Pavilion. It was only a grade smaller in size than the Grand Heavens Pavilion, but looked very majestic too.

On a normal day, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest would take turns to descend the mountain at different timings to give their own talks in the pavilion. They taught the Foundational Disciples how to cultivate and gave them tips on their cultivations.

Behind the pavilion were several buildings. Those buildings were inns for guests of the Celestial Sect of Wonders to stay in. Shi Xingyun and the rest were settled down in different inns.

Shi Xingyun scanned the constructions on Yun Peak. As she was looking, her gaze flashed suddenly, "Oh? He is here too."

Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan followed her gaze and looked over. They saw a young man in white standing far away. He was also observing the buildings on Yun Peak.

The young man came from the Great Void Sect.

Chapter 658: Close Rivalry

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

That man in white walked from the inn behind the pavilion on Yun Peak and he scanned the surrounding buildings.

Although he was excited, he followed the rules. He only observed from afar and did not dare to go close to them.

Zhu Yi looked at him before turning to Shi Xingyun, "Do you know him?" Although he only just glanced at him, Zhu Yi could tell that the man was in the Aurous Core Stage.

What was worth mentioning was that his actual age was the same as how he looked. With his current cultivation, it was something rarely seen, but come to think of it, he was from the Great Void Sect. That would mean that it's not that surprising after all. But Zhu Yi could subtly feel that he was hiding some secret. He was unable to see through the man at first glance.

To find out more clearly, Zhu Yi needed to use his own powers to investigate even deeper. But the man was a guest. If he did not cause any trouble, Zhu Yi would not cause any problems for him.

Shi Xingyun looked at that man in white and said, "Oh, I have only heard of him and see his image before. This is my first time seeing him in person."

"He is called Chen Xingyu. He is a new rising talent of the Great Void Sect. He had been cultivating on Mount Baiyun since young. Although he is only in the Aurous Core Stage, he is highly regarded." Shi Xingyun paused for a moment, before saying, "He is Lin Daohan's Immediate Disciple. From my knowledge, he is the only one Lin Daohan has accepted as a disciple so far. No one else has been accepted."

Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan's eyes brightened as they heard this. They were excited.

"Oh? That means he's special." Zhu Yi laughed, "Lin Daohan is Yan Nanlai's Immediate Disciple. If nothing goes wrong, he will be Yan Nanlai's successor to the Great Void Sect leader position. If Chen Xingyu is equally outstanding, he may become the future leader of the Great Void Sect too."

Shi Xingyun also laughed, "This is a real possibility."

Yue Hongyan looked at Chen Xingyu before shaking her head slightly, "I can't tell how good he is yet, but I am sure he is a talent."

At this point, there were guests that arrived on Yun Peak. They were from a medium-sized power. The Celestial Sect of Wonders disciple who was in charge of receiving them was a lady in purple. There were Taiji diagrams on her clothes and there was also a marking on the cuffs of her clothing. The marking was a circle that was half-white and half-black.

It was different from the Taiji Diagram. This half-white and half-black circle was divided right in the middle, as if two semi-circles were combined together.

The lady in purple descended onto the ground and saw Zhu Yi and the others. She greeted them, "Li Xingfei greets Second Elder Uncle and Fourth Elder Aunt."

After that, she greeted Shi Xingyun, "Greetings to Elder Shi."

Shi Xingyun smiled and nodded at Li Xingfei.

When Li Xingfei and the rest left, Shi Xingyun looked at Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan, before asking, "This time round, your sect has invited the Great Void Sect over, but I believe all of you are unsure whether the Great Void Sect successors will be involved in the interaction between the junior disciples."

Zhu Yi smiled and scanned Chen Xingyu. He naturally understood what Shi Xingyun meant.

Although Li Xingfei looked like she was very young, she was actually around the same age as Xu Yunsheng, Liu Xiafeng and the rest. She was already older than 20 years old and she was in the Advanced Stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Of course, they entered the Celestial Sect of Wonders only when they were teenagers. In terms of cultivation time, they were not far off from Chen Xingyu.

But compared to Chen Xingyu, they were undoubtedly weaker.

In terms of practical battling, it involved experience, one's own powers, magic items, the surroundings, one's psychological mindset and many other factors. But just in terms of the cultivation realm, Chen Xingyu was indeed more outstanding.

Moreover, Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan could both feel that Chen Xingyu was special among the Great Void Sect talents.

"The Radical Faction of the Great Void Sect nurtured Shi Tianyi, Liang An, Bai Xiqian and others, so that they can supersede the Conservative Faction." Zhu Yi said, "The Conservative Faction naturally did not neglect their own development of talented successors."

Chen Xingyu seemed to be the main successor of the Conservative Faction. He was Lin Daohan's successor to tackle the possible problems brought about by Shi Tianyi, Liang An and the rest.

Even so, Zhu Yi was very calm. He smiled while saying, "The successors of the Great Void Sect are indeed special. The disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders can interact and spar with them. This will also be beneficial to our disciples."

Yue Hongyan also revealed a smile on her face and did not say anything else. In this matter, she actually had a greater entitlement to express her opinion.

Three years ago, during her battle with Bai Xiqian at Xiling City, she gained a lot from it.

Shi Xingyun looked at Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan carefully, and she could not help but laughed too, "Oh, seems like I have to tell Shaogan and Jingyun to focus, otherwise they may suffer in the sparring contest."

Zhu Yi smiled slightly, "The future talents of the Great Qin Empire are indeed worth the anticipation."

As the few of them chatted, void space broke suddenly. A man and a lady walked out from it. The man was born special and he donned a black robe above a tight-fitting purple costume. That man was Xiao Yan.

Whereas the lady looked charming and wore a green robe. She had a purple belt on her waist, which accentuated her graceful figure.

Smooth green streaks of fabric swayed alongside her shoulders, as they extended to her waist. Her graceful posture was maintained, and seemed like a green lotus that bloomed in a prosperous era, refined but filled with spirituality.

She was Xiao Zhener. She stood beside Xiao Yan and revealed a curved smile on her face.

Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan greeted her, "Miss Zhener, long time no see."

Xiao Zhener also smiled while she greeted them. She met Shi Xingyun for the first time, but with Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan there to introduce the both of them, they soon became familiarized with each other.

After chatting for a while, Shi Xingyun bade goodbye and returned to her inn to rest.

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Yue Hongyan and Xiao Zhener remained where they were.

"Oh yes, has Youngest Junior finished her retreat?" Xiao Yan thought of it suddenly and asked both Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan. Yue Hongyan replied, "Haven't yet. But according to my calculations, it should be within these few days."

Xiao Yan followed with, "Both Third Junior and Fifth Junior are coaching their own disciples?"

Yue Hongyan nodded her head, "There was news from Third Senior in the morning. Yuting can complete her task before the Sect-Opening Ceremony. But she may not have time to nourish her powers. As for Fifth Junior…"

She paused for a moment before saying, "There should be no problem."

As she said, Yue Hongyan looked at void space, "As long as Yuncong doesn't push to overcome the barrier blindly, things will be fine. His accumulation now is still insufficient to cross the barrier. But it should be enough for this round of internal competition."

Zhu Yi said, "Because his situation is special, that's why he chose Fifth Junior as his Master. Everyone also thought that it was the best arrangement. Although with his qualities, he is most suitable for Eldest Senior's way of cultivation."

Xiao Yan laughed, "If he cultivates with me, he will become like me. Either he gains everything or loses everything. Learning from Fifth Junior will be more stable."

Zhu Yi said, "While it's important to cultivate with the correct materials, it is also important to see what situation one is in first. With Yuncong's personality, it will be more advantageous for him to cultivate with Fifth Junior now. If he follows Eldest Senior's path, he will be too aggressive and hasty.

Yue Hongyan nodded her head, "While it's important to be aggressive while pushing forward, pushing blindly to cross the barrier will lead to a terrible ending."

Xiao Zhener stood at one side and listened to what they said. She only laughed slightly and did not interrupt.

Xiao Yan looked at her before saying a few words to her softly. Xiao Zhener was surprised suddenly, "His qualities are only something that I have seen recorded in the history books. I have never heard of or seen something like this before."

Xiao Yan laughed cheekily, "This is called surprise. You never expected it, did you?"

As she was familiar with Zhu Yi and the rest, Xiao Zhener revealed the mischievous side of her, "This secret has been leaked to me just like that, what should we do now?"

Zhu Yi and the rest laughed as they heard this. Zhu Yi mocked Xiao Yan, "Eldest Senior, either you pay her to keep it a secret, or you get rid of her. Whatever it is, it's your call now!"

"All of you…" Xiao Yan shook his head and laughed.

As all of them were laughing, Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi's expression changed suddenly. They looked to the other side. Xiao Zhener and Yue Hongyan also followed them.

They saw a young-looking guy who wore a yellow robe and who had short hair walking towards them. He seemed to smile. It was the Marquis of Jinghuan.

Xiao Yan was out fetching Xiao Zhener previously, thus this was his first encounter with the Marquis of Jinghuan over here. He snorted, "Why is this guy here? Liang Pan is doing this on purpose?"

The Marquis of Jinghuan stood in his position and looked at Xiao Yan, before saying, "I am here to observe the ceremony on the behalf of the Great Zhou Empire. I will be a courteous guest. You don't have to be so worried."

Xiao Yan laughed and looked at him from the side of his eyes, "I'm worried? Ever since we first met, the person who is always worried doesn't seem to be me?"

The Marquis of Jinghuan nodded his head calmly, "I have to admit that I underestimate you previously. I also underestimated the Celestial Sect of Wonders and your Master. This is a fatal mistake. But fortunately, I did not really die from it."

"I will not commit such a mistake in the future."

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan squinted their eyes together at the same time. This person in front of them might have admitted to his mistake, but from his words, it was obvious that he only meant that he would be careful and not underestimate them. He did not mean that he won't attack them in the future.

This actually meant that he would attack them in the future.

"I will like to spar you now. I wonder if you are up to this challenge?" Xiao Yan put his hands behind his back and his pupils started to brighten with flames.

The Marquis of Jinghuan laughed, "I have said before that I will be a courteous guest. Whatever you want to do, I will follow your wishes. If you have this idea, I don't mind acceding to your wishes."

"However, I will give my all." The eyelids of the Marquis of Jinghuan twitched. He looked at Xiao Yan, "When that happens, I hope someone don't go crying to his Master."

Xiao Yan let out a cold laugh, "Worry about yourself. You can't escape so easily this time round."

"The person who confiscated my Ancient Royal Sword looked like your Master. Was it you?" The Marquis of Jinghuan said and his body started to heat up.

Xiao Yan laughed coldly, "I don't want your magic treasure, but you can leave your life behind."

The Marquis of Jinghuan laughed, "There's no need for any more nonsense. Let's see who's better."

As he said, a voice resonated from afar, "Liang An, retreat. You are not just representing yourself, you are also representing the Great Zhou Empire."

The voice was gentle, but it sounded stern too. It was the voice of Liang Yuan.

The Marquis of Jinghuan's lips twitched a little. He never kept Liang Yuan in high regard normally.

Liang Yuan said, "You have not even accounted for what happened three years ago. Do you think it's all settled already?"

The Marquis of Jinghuan creased his brows. After a brief moment, he laughed, "Whatever, you can do whatever you want with me."

"Comrade Xiao, please forgive us for what's happened." A light figure landed in front of Xiao Yan and the rest. It was projected from Liang Yuan's mana. He clasped his fist and palm at Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest. "Your sect and the Great Zhou Empire are both on the same page. We should propagate harmony. Liang An has been very rude. I hope that all of you can forgive him."

Liang Yuan remained calm and looked sincere.

With regards to the Great Zhou Crown Prince, if he faced Lin Feng, however sloppy he might seem, it was still forgivable. Right now, in front of Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest, his attitude was very proper.

But Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Yue Hongyan and Xiao Zhener did not underestimate him because of that.

Truth be told, Liang Yuan did not exactly share a cordial relationship with the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Previously, his avatar even clashed with Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao and the rest in the Secret Manual of Kun Peng.

When Zhu Yi proceeded for the imperial examination, Liang Yuan also performed some lowly tricks. But Zhu Yi retaliated and thwarted his plans. He even killed some of Liang Yuan's subordinates who were in the Nascent Soul Stage.

He was not much different from the Marquis of Jinghuan. But now Liang Yuan was acting very proper now and tried to negotiate between both parties. This made Xiao Yan and the rest think more highly of him.

As Liang Yuan acted in this way, he did so with the right manners. He was humble but did not bow down. He did not shame the face of the Great Zhou Empire. On the other hand, he seemed magnanimous. The way he managed the situation was perfect.

Through the previous setback, he had fully matured. Not only did he preserve his position as a Crown Prince, he managed to strengthen his hold on it. Even the Great Qin Empire's Crown Prince, Shi Chongyun, could not match up to him. The both of them were not even on the same level anymore.

Putting the relative power of the Great Qin and Great Zhou Empire aside, in terms of their successors, the Great Zhou was one up against the Great Qin Empire.

The Marquis of Jinghuan also became less scornful of Liang Yuan. He also started to size him up. Previously, he never put Liang Yuan in high regard. Although he was the Crown Prince, Liang Yuan could not match up to Liang An in terms of talent, skills and contribution to the country.

But his sudden change caused Liang An to view Liang Yuan in a positive light.

While Liang Yuan's powers were still weaker than Liang An, with their current realms of cultivation, their powers were indeed important, but they only influenced a part of everything. To reach the Immortal Soul Stage, the state of mind of the cultivator was also important.

Liang Yuan's talent was decently good enough. Along with the resources of the Great Zhou Empire, once his state of mind was boosted, it would be much easier for him to break through the bottleneck as compared to others.

Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi looked at each other. Xiao Yan turned to look at the Marquis of Jinghuan and said, "All of you are guests. We will naturally treat all of you with respect. But we have always stayed true to the principle of treating our friends well and treating our enemies unkindly."

The Marquis of Jinghuan laughed and he scanned Xiao Zhener and Yue Hongyan. Eventually, his vision landed on Xiao Yan. He said, "At least during the duration of the Sect-Opening Ceremony, I will be a courteous guest."

Xiao Yan stared at him before laughing, "You better be."

Zhu Yi turned to look at Liang Yuan, "We all want harmony, but we can tell if the intentions are right. It is important for us to give each other mutual encouragement."

Liang Yuan replied, "That should be the case, naturally."

As he finished speaking, Liang Yuan's light figure that was projected from his powers disappeared. The Marquis of Jinghuan looked at Xiao Yan for one last time before laughing suddenly, "I have some people under me who want to receive some tips on the abhijnas and mantras of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. I wonder if that's convenient?"

Xiao Yan replied coldly, "Only if you wish."

The Marquis of Jinghuan turned and walked away, "Dying in battle is better than dying of old age. The people under me are all capable."

He returned to his own temporary residence, which was a small house. As he entered the place, there was a bunch of people guarding there. Liang Yuan was in the center of everyone, as he sat on a stone bench.

The Marquis of Jinghuan did not seem to be surprised and said, "It's my honor for the Crown Prince to visit me. It's just that it's a little improper for you to enter this place when I'm not around."

Liang Yuan stared at him and he tapped the stone table in front of him, "Liang An, it's been three years. Don't tell me that you have forgotten how you provoked the Demon Phoenix tribe?"

The Marquis of Jinghuan sat opposite Liang Yuan, as if there was no distinction between their statuses. He looked at Liang Yuan calmly, "Of course I remember it."

"Oh, then you must also remember how you atoned for your mistake." Liang Yuan said. "It's been three years. Where's the remaining half of the picture manual, don't tell me that you have forgotten what you promised?"

The Marquis of Jinghuan answered, "Of course I remember, but there's still time before I have to fulfil it. Don't be too anxious."

"I have to admit that, you have improved from before. At least I don't treat you like trash anymore. But you are still far off from His Majesty and the Marquis of Xuanji. They won't be so anxious."

Liang Yuan was being lectured by the Marquis of Jinghuan, but he was not furious. He said calmly, "I am reminding you for your own sake. It's enough if you know it."

After he finished saying, he stood up and walked away. The rest of his followers followed behind him closely without speaking.

"Liang An, don't think that you can achieve success in one way or another. In the end, you may just find yourself with nowhere to go. Your actions are monitored by my father. Know your place."

After the Marquis of Jinghuan heard this, his eyes moved a little as he watched Liang Yuan leaving.

He laughed slightly, "I am not trying to achieve success in one way or another. On the contrary, I have everything in my control."

As the Marquis of Jinghuan clapped his hands, two young man came to him very quickly. They looked at him calmly. Although they were decked in military wear and they looked the same as the other subordinates of the Marquis of Jinghuan, the way they looked at him did not possess the passion and respect a soldier had for his commander.

There was a hint of respect, but it was for the cultivation realm and powers of the Marquis of Jinghuan.

"The Great Master brought the both of you to me, and I have brought the both of you into the Celestial Sect of Wonders." The Marquis of Jinghuan said. "The opportunity to spar with the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, I have also obtained for the both of you. Whether the both of you can find whoever you want to, it all depends on fate."

The two young man nodded their heads and bowed towards him, "Thank you Sir. We shall carry on from here"

The Marquis of Jinghuan looked at the both of them, "Don't say that I never warned the both of you. Even if the both of you find him, don't think of laying a move on him here. Grab the opportunity when he leaves the place. If something happens here, the Great Master can't help the both of you."

One of them replied, "Please rest assured, Sir. We know what to do."

The Marquis of Jinghuan waved his hand and the both of them retreated.

"Next, I will just watch what happens." The Marquis of Jinghuan stood up. "There are many beauties in the Celestial Sect of Wonders. It's a pity I can't get them in the meantime. But it's fine, the more it's like that, the more interested I am. If it's too easy for me to get, there's no fun in it."

He creased his brows slightly and revealed a nonchalant expression. "I thought of rearing a pig, while Xiao Yan has become quite 'plump' for me to 'slaughter'. I should do it soon, otherwise, this pig of mine will go running away."

Liang Yuan left the residence of the Marquis of Jinghuan and proceeded towards his own residence.

As he walked, Liang Yuan communicated with the people around him, "How's the progress with the hidden pawn that we placed in the Celestial Sect of Wonders?"

A Nascent Soul Stage cultivator beside him nodded his head silently and left the group.

After burying a Voice-Projecting Crystal and leaving a mark, the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator left and returned to the residence of Liang Yuan.

After entering his residence, Liang Yuan sat in his seat and this Nascent Soul Stage cultivator said, "Let's see when this hidden pawn can obtain the Voice-Projecting Crystal. This is not Mount Yujing. I believe the supervision and control of the place will be more relaxed."

"The hidden pawn has successfully become a Successive Disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, but the Celestial Sect of Wonders has stationed them all over Mount Kunlun to receive guests these few days. I am not sure when he will return to Yun Peak and get the Voice-Projecting Crystal."

Liang Yuan said, "No worries. We must be patient."

Before he finished speaking, the expression of the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator changed, "Your Highness, there's a response."

He retrieved a Voice-Projecting Crystal and summoned his own powers. After sensing for a while, he nodded his head, "It's not discovered by some other disciples from the Celestial Sect of Wonders. I can confirm that it's the hidden pawn."

Liang Yuan gestured, "Connect to him."

The Nascent Soul Stage cultivator connected both parties. After a brief moment, a voice came from the other side. "It's me."

"How's your current situation and the progress of the mission?" The Nascent Soul Stage cultivator went straight into the topic.

The other party replied, "The situation is well so far. Everything is normal. But the thing you asked me to do, it's a little difficult now."

"The Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams is only possessed by Lin Feng and his Immediate Disciples. While the mantras that the Successive Disciples cultivate are also from the secret manual of the sect, they are derived from the Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams."

"Although they are also very brilliant, my Master ever said that these mantras cannot be reversed to deduce the Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams. It seems like it's true."

The Nascent Soul Stage cultivator raised his brows, "There must be people who will succeed it. It can't be the end of it at your Master's generation."

The voice on the other side was a little uncertain, "That's right. What I heard was that during this internal competition, the most outstanding Successive Disciples under each faction will be determined. They will then be promoted to the First Disciple."

"Although I'm not sure, I believe that the First Disciples have the highest chance of inheriting everything from their own Masters."
