Chapter 1007: I've Been Waiting For You!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Yang Zhao unleashed the Supreme Drifting Song Spell, The Elite Vanishing Heaven-Ascending Spell and the Dimensionless Transformation at the same time and obscured himself between the clouds with unpredictable positioning.

Liu Xiafeng continued to channel the Grand Sun Primordial Fire against the thick layers of white clouds, and Yang Zhao seemed like he had no choice but to repeatedly replenish the volume of clouds around him. It appeared as if he only had the energy to defend himself and couldn't return fire at all.

Every detonation of the glowing flames of the Grand Sun Primordial Fire blew open a vast patch of cloud energies, and it seemed like it didn't take much more to completely break open Yang Zhao's spell. Perhaps, if he put in a little more effort, he would be able to annihilate the entire patch of clouds.

Yang Zhao, on the other hand, was barely holding on and his life could be endangered at any moment, as if his protective layer could be torn apart by Liu Xiafeng at any moment.

The process of the battle suggested that Yang Zhao was expending more energy replenishing the thick white clouds after each attack.

Even though he was in the aurous core advanced stage, his mana pool was not that much greater than Liu Xiafeng, who was only in the aurous core intermediate stage.

Furthermore, continuous defense was bound to have a loophole in most scenarios as defensive spells were ultimately passive. A single lapse in concentration could lead to irrevocable defeat, and all the hard work would have been wasted.

But was everything the truth?

At least, Yang Zhao was extremely satisfied with the current situation as he hovered between the clouds and continued to obscure his position.

His Supreme Drifting Song Spell did not take much out of his mana, and this was one of the spell's strengths as well.

On the contrary, if Liu Xiafeng continued his aggressive onslaught, he would burn through his mana much quicker than Yang Zhao would, and it wouldn't take long before he ran himself dry.

Yang Zhao was not too concerned about the possibility that Liu Xiafeng could break through his defenses before his force of attack started to weaken and before he exhausted his mana.

If it was Tang Jun, who was also in the aurous core intermediate stage, Yang Zhao wouldn't have been so confident. Judging from the course of their current battle, he was confident that Liu Xiafeng was unable to break through his defenses forcefully even if he unleashed the last form of the Eight Spells of Heaven and Earth, Absolute Destruction.

Since that was the case, then the situation was completely within his control.

The only thing was that onlookers perceived Yang Zhao to be the one who was stuck in a dire situation, and Yang Zhao was the one that was at a disadvantage. An aurous core advanced stage cultivator was being bullied by an aurous core intermediate stage cultivator, which was extremely humiliating for the former.

However, final victory was the most important thing for Yang Zhao. Whether he came back to win or he won the battle outright was not so different for him as long as the result was the same.

It was also possible that Liu Xiafeng would realize the problem with his approach and jump out of the circle, and make use of the superficial advantage that he seemed to possess – but Yang Zhao had already considered that outcome.

Firstly, based on Wan Zhenglun's description of Liu Xiafeng and his own observations, Liu Xiafeng seemed like a casual person but was actually quite a tough nut and would probably not resort to such measures.

Secondly, if Liu Xiafeng ended up doing it anyway, Yang Zhao knew how to play against him.

During his next forceful assault, his mana would be depleted and if he developed ideas to retreat, he would be making himself vulnerable and gave Yang Zhao a chance to retaliate.

However, even though Liu Xiafeng was still as calm as ever, his eyes started to betray tinges of exasperation and frustration. Yang Zhao grinned as the entire situation was progressing towards the best-case scenario in his calculations.

The longer Liu Xiafeng spent with his aggression and the longer he took to realize the problem, the greater his consumption of mana, and when he finally decided to withdraw it would be too late.

This was especially so when his next offensive strike was clear suboptimal in strength and a flash of pity and regret came across Li Xingfei's face.

Everything fell into Yang Zhao's eyes, and the corner of his mouth curved into a nearly invisible smile. This was a battle that was clearer to the participants than to the onlookers.

Even though Li Xingfei kept quiet, the ripples of her mana and consciousness would more or less affect Liu Xiafeng, who came from the same vein as she did.

This effect was miniscule, and was comparable to a single gust of wind across the surroundings or a slight increase in the humidity of the air – it was nearly undetectable.

However, the more unassuming the change, the more likely it could create a subtle but acute effect. Even though it was discreet, soundless and formless, it could take root in Liu Xiafeng's emotions and cause him to grow even more frustrated.

The epic battle rolled on, and Liu Xiafeng channeled another ball of his Grand Sun Primordial Fire and dissipated another patch of white clouds. Finally, he frowned as he watched the incredulous layers of white clouds before him and a look of hesitation came across his face.

After a few more rounds of assault, his movements became a lot slower and he started to feel and understand the layers of white clouds between the sparkles in his eyes.

In the next moment, his brows locked together and even though his expression was still one of composure, his eyes betrayed a look of hopeless struggle as if he had no choice but to give up.

In the end, after yet another round of assault, Liu Xiafeng's figure flashed once and attempted to fly out of the encircling white clouds.

"Your reaction is fast, but it's too late," Yang Zhao chuckled coldly, "You cultivators from the Celestial Sect of Wonders are not all that arrogant after all and know when you're beaten."

He felt a tinge of regret at the chance that Liu Xiafeng chose to withdraw from the situation and make use of his superficial advantage to give up his fruitless attempts. In this case, he still had some energy left and it still wouldn't be for Yang Zhao to win the battle.

After all, even though Yang Zhao still had cards to play, his offensive powers were not that strong.

Yang Zhao did not dare to dally as he watched Liu Xiafeng retreat. If he let Liu Xiafeng jump out of the circle, then his careful planning would have gone to waste and all the time and effort he had put in would be worth nothing. He would probably turn from predator to prey as well.

He began to cast a spell with his fingers and the flowing white clouds surrounding the two of them abruptly solidified.

The sprawling balls of clouds appeared to materialize into solid form in the blink of an eye and seemed to possess incredible toughness as they sealed off the entire area.

Both him and Liu Xiafeng became like the little insects in amber as they became immobilized with no hope of escape.

Mu Xuan, Chen Xingyu and Guo Chaoyang raised their eyebrows as they exclaimed, "The Heavenly Cloud-Shattering Technique?"

The cultivators from the Great Void Sect were acutely aware of the special characteristic of the Supreme Drifting Song Spell of helping the practitioner save mana. Even disciples who did not cultivate the Mantra of the Supreme Oblivion were aware of these foundational knowledge, and they naturally knew that there was another spell in the Mantra of the Supreme Oblivion called the Heavenly Cloud-Shattering Technique.

The Mantra of the Great Oblivion integrated many principles of Heaven and Earth, and they were mostly profound and extremely sophisticated; one of these principles was the Supreme Principle of Destruction.

Outside the Crucible of the Divine Lands, the Xuan Lin Holy Man was still in a standoff against Wang Lin and Lin Feng – his Virtual Entity originated from the power of the Supreme Principle of Destruction.

There were other branches under the Supreme Principle of Destruction. One of them was called the Supreme Principle of Detonation, and the Heavenly Cloud-Shattering Technique was a spell derived from this particular principle.

When the power of this spell was released, the sprawling white clouds would directly shatter the void and cause the area all around to shatter as well.

Offence was not Yang Zhao's strong suit. However, he had Liu Xiafeng encircled within his layers of white clouds, and using the Heavenly Cloud-Shattering Technique and causing the detonation from both inside and outside would greatly increase its power.

At this moment, when Liu Xiafeng was still attempting to retreat out of the circle of battle, he would have to face a pincer-like assault from the Heavenly Cloud-Shattering Technique. Even if he still had some energy remaining, he would still have a hard time.

Yang Zhao himself was enveloped in the inner regions of the white clouds and would suffer the effects of the Heavenly Cloud-Shattering Technique himself. However, he was the one casting the spell and he was also prepared for this eventuality and it was only natural that he would have an easier time than Liu Xiafeng. When Liu Xiafeng was still exhausted from handling the effects of the Heavenly Cloud-Shattering Technique, Yang Zhao would unleash his follow-up move and build upon his advantage.

"Go!" Yang Zhao growled as the clouds enveloping the two of them started to explode.

However, at this very moment, Yang Zhao suddenly saw Liu Xiafeng turn back with a faint smile on his face. "I've been waiting for you."

An ominous feeling surfaced in Yang Zhao's heart, and what distressed him even more was the fact that Li Xingfei started to laugh as well.

A casual look came across Liu Xiafeng's face as he watched Yang Zhao. "Now I believe that the words you said before were not intended to sow discord."

"From the very beginning, you've been trying to infuriate me and make me lose my cool. The instigating words that came after was also meant to disrupt my thoughts so that I would continue to descend into frustration and fury, so that I would continue to attempt to prove myself and react to your taunts."

The sounds of the Supreme Drifting Song Spell had completely stopped, and Yang Zhao's face glimmered in the sky with an inscrutable expression.

Liu Xiafeng slapped his hands together abruptly, and radiant golden light surged forth from his left wrist and extended up and down to become something like a long bow.

"When I insisted on this forceful assault, I was giving up more and more of my advantage in Vanishing Spells, and I was using my weakness to fight against your strengths."

Liu Xiafeng placed his right hand on the longbow conjured by his left, and made the gesture of nocking an invisible arrow. "I have battle Wan Zhenglun before, and it was only natural that you'd obtain information from him that I was pretty good with Vanishing Spells and was better with guerilla fighting rather than forceful attack."

A blindingly bright golden arrow appeared on the bow, and the tip of the arrow was equally dazzling as the Grand Sun Primordial Fire condensed with unprecedented volume. It was like a single Sun, and the terrifying aura sent Yang Zhao's heart into the abyss.

It was a spell from the lineage of the Celestial Sect of Wonder's Inferno Precipice, and part of the Burning Heavens Mantra – the Burning Heavens Divine Radiance!

This spell was compatible with any type of Primordial Fire, and its salient feature was that it had a single point of incredibly explosive and destructive power.

"However, the question is that how could you have known whether I gave my all when I battled Wan Zhenglun?" Liu Xiafang looked at Yang Zhao and chuckled. "If you continued to hide, my spell could possibly have broken open your previous mantra but I wasn't entirely confident of eliminating you once and for all."

"I can't ask for more now that you've stopped. Your new spell, I can tell, is relatively more powerful but it has a weakness – it's far too slow and incomparable to mine."

Before he finished his sentence, the single nocked golden arrow was released from the longbow. It left a blazing trail of fire in the sky behind it, and resembled a golden shooting star as it pierced through the solidified layers of clouds.

The clouds separated to reveal the Sun as the radiant golden light permeated the sky and became like a real scorching Sun at midday.

Yang Zhao could no longer be bothered with the Heavenly Cloud-Shattering Technique and hurriedly channeled the Dimensionless Transformation in an attempt to dodge Liu Xiafeng's Burning Heavens Divine Radiance.

However, the flames crackled as they exploded and transformed into a miniature Sun that burned endlessly in the sky.

Yang Zhao could only watch as his position gradually returned from the illusory world into the real one. He could only watch as his body was gradually consumed by the searing golden Sun.

Chapter 1008: The Center Of the Divine Lands The Origins Of The Supreme Heavenly Mirror

Translator:Sparrow Translations

Editor:Sparrow Translations

Liu Xiafeng's release of the Burning Heavens Divine Radiance appeared like the rise of a blistering sun into the sky.

Rolling golden flames burned ceaselessly like the Sun in midday and seared everything under the sky, and engulfed Yang Zhao as he was attempting to retreat using the Dimensionless Transformation. The layers of white clouds quickly evaporated and dissipated.

The Dimensionless Transformation spell of the Great Void Sect was profound and sophisticated, and allowed the cultivator to morph his body between illusion and reality to avoid the incoming attacks of his or her opponent and took away the target of the incoming spell.

Any attacking move, no matter how powerful, was useless and a waste of effort without a target.

However, this spell was limited by multiple weaknesses. Any cultivator that wasn't in the immortal stage using this spell, when he phased into the illusory world using this spell and when he phased back into reality, he would still remain in the same position.

Furthermore, the duration that aurous core stage cultivators could remain in the illusory world was extremely temporary.

Yang Zhao could only watch his widened eyes as his body was engulfed and consumed by the detonation of the Burning Heavens Divine Radiance, and felt the scorch of the Grand Sun Primordial Fire on his body.

"I was tricked." Yang Zhao heaved a defeated sigh inside. He attempted to trick Liu Xiafeng, and ended up falling into Liu Xiafeng's trap himself.

More accurately put, Li Xingfei also had a part to play in this elaborate deception. When he saw the mocking smile on her face, how could he not realize that everything was an artifice from the beginning to the end – her revelation of emotions was intentional.

Her actions weren't meant to disrupt Liu Xiafeng's state of mind. On the contrary, it was meant to aid Liu Xiafeng into misleading the accuracy of Yang Zhao's judgment.

The person that was sliding down the slope and deeper into the trap wasn't Liu Xiafeng but him.

Once he made sense of everything, he could feel a deep sense of regret from the bottom of his heart. If he played around with Liu Xiafeng using the Supreme Drifting Song Spell, even though he may still not have been able to defend himself against the Burning Heavens Divine Radiance, there was a still a chance of continuing the battle, and he would not end up like he was now – complete defeat, and no chance to reenter the battle.

Yang Zhao was about to be completely consumed by the raging flames, and Chen Xingyu, Mu Xuan and Guo Chaoyang started to frown, while Guo Chaoyang acted instantly and arrived beside Yang Zhao. He waved his sleeves and a circle of black and white mana surged out to dissipate the roaring flames of the Grand Sun Primordial Fire.

The arrangement was a battle of pure mantra and power and excluded other exterior items. Both Yang Zhao and Liu Xiafeng passed their magic items and talismans and what not to Guo Chaoyang and Yang Tie respectively before their battle began.

And now, Yang Zhao was about to experience an untimely death and appeared like he didn't even have the power to protect himself.

"Junior Yang has lost this round," Guo Chaoyang grunted coldly and only dispelled the Grand Sun Primordial Fire around Yang Zhao, and didn't take the opportunity to launch his own assault against Liu Xiafeng.

Liu Xiafeng didn't push the issue either, and clasped his hands towards Yang Zhao who was already under the protection of Guo Chaoyang. "Thanks."

Guo Chaoyang's face was dark as he said quietly, "It's only the first round."

Yang Tie, Liu Xiafeng and Li Xingfei raised their eyebrows at his comment. Zhou Yuncong was expressionless, bar the pair of eyes that were staring coldly at Guo Chaoyang.

Outside the Small Divine Lands World, Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man were witnesses to this epic battle.

At their level, whether it was from status or from strength, the battles between aurous core stage cultivators and their displays of spells, no matter how intricate and how sophisticated, were unassuming.

From their perspective, it was more important to observe the spirit and resilience of the younger generation of disciples and their display of potential.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man said casually, "You have pretty impressive disciples, Master Lin. Congratulations."

Lin Feng had the same calm look on his face. "You flatter me. The youngsters are not bad indeed, but they still need to continue working hard."

Lin Feng was not overly modest about the display of the younger disciples from his sect, and neither was he overpraise them. His language and tone were straightforward and simple.

The Xuan Lin Holy Man and Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar were both standing behind their respective seniors, and neither of them said anything besides staring at each other in silence.

Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man were still competing with each other via the Small Divine Lands World created by the Crucible of the Divine Lands. At this point in time, the surroundings of the Crucible were covered by purple energy and balls of white clouds.

Both parties were on opposite ends of an impasse and they were practically each dominating one half.

Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar and one hand of the Avatar of Ares were both latched onto the Small Divine Lands World at this moment.

His expression didn't change, but a sparkle lit up in his eyes as the purple energy blanketing the Small Divine Lands World started to permeate inwards.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man virtually did the same thing at the same time, and the vast patches of cloud energy creeped into the inner regions of the Small Divine Lands World, and filled the entire area with thick white mist.

Yang Tie, Zhou Yuncong, Guo Chaoyang, Chen Xingyu and Mu Xuan watched the world change before their very eyes and raised their guards in anticipation.

Suddenly, the purple energies and the rolling white clouds intertwined together and shook the entire world.

Yang Tie and company were engulfed by the sprawling clouds, and their surroundings flashed before them once again. The entire group felt like they were riding the clouds and surging around inside the Small Divine Lands World.

Their surroundings continued to change incessantly. They seemed familiar yet novel at the same time, and they appeared real yet illusory. Yang Tie, Zhou Yuncong and the others saw the appearance of Mount Kunlun, the endless East Sea, the Southern Wilderness and the Northern Snow Fields.

However, their ultimate destination was a mountain peak that they had never seen before.

Even though they had never been to this place before, judging by the path of their travels and the landmarks they passed on their way here, Yang Tie and the other disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders had no trouble recognizing this location.

"This should be the mountain gate of the Great Void Sect, the resting place of Mount Baiyun!" Yang Tie, Liu Xiafeng and Li Xingfei exchanged glances as they felt a little surprised.

"Why have we been sent here? Is this…"

Even the group of Great Void Sect disciples were taken unawares as they found themselves in this familiar place.

Outside the Crucible of the Divine Lands, Lin Feng, the Zheng Yi Holy Man, Wang Lin and the Xuan Lin Holy Man observed the situation calmly.

Wang Lin muttered under his breath, "Master, the Cang Heaven Blade and the Xuan Heaven Seal are right – Mount Baiyun used to be the center of the flow of spiritual energy within the Divine Lands."

Lin Feng nodded his head. "This place solidified the rise of the Great Void Sect. If not for the natural physical changes in the world over time, and the flow of spiritual energy in the Divine Lands became more mixed up, the Great Void Sect would have been even more powerful than they are today."

"Even so, during the beginning of the Modern Age, the power of the Great Void Sect erupted once before and seemed like they were about to regain their former glory. However, as fate would have it, they encountered the Hades Emperor and his descent into the Greater World."

"This place is the birthplace of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror…" Wang Lin's eyes closed into slits as he stared ahead at the scene projected by the Small Divine Lands World. He scrutinized the lonely mountain before him that was bare and had no white clouds surrounding it.

Lin Feng nodded his head and said, "You're right. The most important effect of the battle that ended the Primordial Age could be said to be the separation of the Greater World into the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses, and could also be said to be the birth of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror."

Many things were no longer verifiable and were lost over the long course of history. Even if there were sects that had existed since the Antiquity Age until today, many secrets were still lost over time.

Following the passage of their ancestors, there were some secrets and myths known to their successors but only in bits and pieces.

The Cang Heaven Blade and the Xuan Heaven Seal had been Mahayana-level magic items since the Antiquity Age. They were allowed to participate in multiple gatherings and obtained great volumes of information and managed to survive until today – this was the reason why they were more knowledgeable about the secrets of the olden days.

Lin Feng had heard stories before, but rumors were rumors and were unconfirmed until the day he spoke with the Cang Heaven Spell Blade and the Xuan Heaven Seal when he finally managed to allay some of his doubts.

For example, the Supreme Heavenly Mirror was not a magic item forged by cultivators of the Great Void Sect. More accurately put, it wasn't a magic treasure created by anyone.

The number-one magic treasure of the Divine Lands was born naturally, nurtured by the Heavens and born as a product and representation of the Will and Spirit of the entire Grand Celestial World.

This was dissimilar to the light circle that was still oscillating inside the Yin-Yang Sea, and neither was it similar to Zhu Yi's Higan Golden Bridge. The Golden Bridge's embryo originated from the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain, which channeled the power of the Ying Sea to create it. The Supreme Heavenly Mirror, on the other hand, was born and gestated from the power of the entire Greater World.

During the great battle that ended the Primordial Age, the reason that caused the Greater World to split into the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses was not only due to the extreme powers of the Great Void Holy Man and the First Dragon – the more substantial reason was that the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, which was still under development, had been triggered.

Following the birth of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, the Greater World finally broke apart into two separate ones.

Due to the epic battles between Emperor Jue and the Great Void Holy Man and the others, the Supreme Heavenly Mirror was born prematurely. Otherwise, if this magic treasure had been allowed into the world by natural causes, its power would have been unimaginable.

Of course, in that case, then nobody would have been able to truly assume control over this magic item – unless that person could transcend the entire Grand Celestial World.

The location of the birth of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror was the Great Void Sect's current home turf – Mount Baiyun.

It was for this very reason that the Great Void Holy Man chose this place to establish his sect, and officially set the Great Void Sect on their journey towards eternal glory.

Back then, Mount Baiyun was still the center of all spiritual energy flows inside the Divine Lands, and was the concentration spot.

However, too many unpredictable events occurred in the world and following the unstoppable passage of time, the flow of spiritual energy in the Greater World started to change. It no longer flowed towards a central point, but became more spread out like it was now.

During the Antiquity Age, Mount Baiyun was undoubtedly the center of the Divine Lands. This center wasn't referring to the physical center of the world, but the focal point of all spiritual energy I the Divine Lands, and the place where spiritual energy was the most voluminous.

When Emperor Xia forged the Crucible of the Divine Lands during the Antiquity Age, he incorporated the dense principles of the entire Divine Lands into the magic item. This was the reason by the Small Divine Lands World that was created by this magic item naturally travelled towards the 'center'– the same place that spiritual energies naturally travelled to during the Antiquity Age.

Therefore, Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man did the same thing and directed their respective disciples towards the core of the Crucible of the Divine Lands, and sent them to the bottom of the Mount Baiyun inside the Small Divine Lands World.

Yang Tie, Zhou Yuncong, Liu Xiafeng and Li Xingfei orientated themselves and quickly realized that somebody had been here before them.

Some of them had found their own way here, and some were sent by Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man.

Upon closer inspection, the cultivators from the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Great Void Sect were almost all present.

Chapter 1009: The Contest For The Mountain

Translator:Sparrow Translations

Editor:Sparrow Translations

The cultivators from the Celestial Sect of Wonders were in yet another standoff against the cultivators from the Great Void Sect before Mount Baiyun.

Besides Yang Tie and the three others, Yue Hongyan, Li Yuanfang, Luo Qingwu were there as well. Tang Jun and Han Yang were also at the mountain, and they were only missing Zhu Yi.

The younger generation of disciples from the Great Void Sect were all present. Shan Xiang had a look of guilt on his face while Zhao Mingxiu was expressionless. When they saw Yang Zhao, they instantly recalled the incident of Wan Zhenglun's demise and the three of them looked at each other speechlessly.

"The summit of the mountain!" Yue Hongyan's eyes glimmered as she gazed upward at the summit of this Mount Baiyun.

Everybody followed her gaze towards the top of the mountain and saw shimmers of light. Even though they were faint and nearly undetectable, they were as mystical as they could get.

They were virtually invisible without paying special attention to them. However, once discovered, these specks of light attracted the entirety of everyone's concentration and appeared like they could suck everyone's souls into them.

Yue Hongyan, Li Yuangfang and Luo Qingwu exchanged glances and said, "It's Second Senior!"

Starlight flashed between the flickering lights at the top of the mountain but the powerful aura did not permeate outwards. However, everybody could faintly feel the embodiment of vast strength within, with an immensity that resembled the entire universe – it was Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar.

He was engaged in a spell battle with someone else on the Mount Baiyun inside the Small Divine Lands World. His opponent was a middle-aged man that was reasonably handsome and with a calm expression on his face – it was Cai Fengzhou, a member of the Supreme Elder Council of the Great Void Sect. The two of them had arrived at the summit of Mount Baiyun before everyone else, and it was apparent that their horns had been locked for quite some time already.

Cai Fengzhou was a little frustrated at this point. He was relatively informed about the foundations of the Crucible of the Divine Lands, and roughly understood the process that Emperor Xia took to forge this magic item; he knew that Emperor Xia had incorporated the general concepts and principles of the world.

This was the reason why the core of the Crucible was the same as the center of the Divine Lands inside this miniature world, inside the Small Divine Lands World created by this destiny-level magic item.

It was not the geographical center of the world, but the focal point of all spiritual energy. It was identical to the Divine Lands during the Antiquity Age, and it was the location of Mount Baiyun.

When Cai Fengzhou made his way here, he discovered that Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar was a step faster than he was. If not for the fact that he knew the details better than Zhu Yi did, Zhu Yi would have established a connection with the Crucible of the Divine Lands way before he could.

The Great Sun Avatar's physical features was the same as Zhu Yi's, but possessed immensely powerful mantras of the Martial Way. Fists after fists roared through the heavens and shattered the earth, and the force of his fingers were enough to topple mountains and hold down the oceans.

Cai Fengzhou's expression was composed from beginning to end. Two streaks of cloud energy, one black and one white, surged across the void continuously.

His personality was relatively nonchalant, but his spells and mantras sharp and fierce, the only difference being there were not much murderous intentions contained within them. Even so, his spells were considered relatively ferocious and if Zhu Yi had a single lapse in concentration, he would land himself in a dire situation.

The same mantra would have vastly different effects and forms that varied from cultivator to cultivator due to the difference in understanding and interpretation.

The origins of Cai Fengzhou's lineage, when traced to the very top, was the leader of the Four Immemorial Heroes of the Great Void, Wen Chiyang. He was publicly recognized as the most powerful one amongst the four heroes, and possessed the sharpest and most acute battle prowess as well. His mantras and spells also took the vicious and ferocious approach.

They were different from the typical attitude of the Great Void Sect, which was one of draftiness and freedom, but they had their own salient features and was impressive in their own right.

Cai Fengzhou was a typically casual and amicable person, but the mantras that he practiced were more or less influenced by his mentor. However, he was a third-level immortal soul stage cultivator himself, and was able to incorporate his own understandings of the world into his mantras and spells. This was the reason why his spells and mantras were a lot milder than they would have been otherwise.

Wu Mengqi, who shared his lineage, casted spells and mantras with a lot more ferocity than he did.

Still, no matter how casual and warm he was a person, Cai Fengzhou was a third-level immortal soul stage cultivator who had made his name for many years. Furthermore, Wen Chiyang's lineage had always emphasized the importance of practical battle prowess.

Cai Fengzhou's hands gestured around in the air as streaks and streaks of Yin-Yang mana surged out. They stirred up void space, and layered the spaces between as the originally formless and intangible void transformed into the shape of a giant bell and crashed down towards Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar.

It was one of the more powerful spells from the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void – the Yin Yang Limitless Mystic World!

This spell channeled the power of void space to create an artificial world aimed at pulverizing its target, and used the limitless strength of Yin and Yang to consume the target.

Personally, Cai Fengzhou did not feel too much hostility towards the Celestial Sect of Wonders and had no intention to fight Zhu Yi to the death. However, the Crucible of the Divine Lands was in question and there was no room for him to overlook anything. Even though he had no clue that Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man were having their own competition outside, he was sure that if the core of the Crucible ended up in Zhu Yi's hands, his own camp would have lost the initiative and any form of advantage that they originally possessed.

Zhu Yi was naturally not about to hand things over without a fight. However, even though the Great Sun Avatar was powerful and Emperor Chen's mantras were fearsome, he was only in the second-level immortal soul stage while he was faced with a powerful individual from the Great Void Sect, Cai Fengzhou, thus there was a considerable gap between the two of them.

The Great Sun Avatar was enveloped by the Yin Yang Limitless Mystic World and there was no way he could escape. Furthermore, his mana was being eroded and corrupted by the streaks of Yin-Yang energy in this tiny artifical world.

"Good!" Zhu Yi's face was unchanged as he grunted. Mana surged up and down the body of the Great Sun Avatar, and his eyes changed appearance all of a sudden. One eye burst with brightness before descending into intense darkness, while the other was the complete opposite. His eyes oscillated between these two states while light and darkness characters appeared in the void.

These light and darkness characters came together to form a frightening paragraph, and subsequently transformed into a golden bridge that asserted its existence in the world as it slammed towards Cai Fengzhou's Yin Yang Limitless Mystic World.

Endless sounds of songs followed the appearance of the golden bridge and resonated between heaven and earth. They seemed to transcend everything yet took after everything, and a concept of power that seemed like it could cleanse everyone and take them to the other side charged up the void. In the next moment, it appeared as if the artificial world created by Cai Fengzhou, a third-level immortal soul stage cultivator, was unable to stop Zhu Yi's golden bridge which exuded an aura of dominance over the entire world.

The toiling efforts of cultivation and study over the years gave Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar the ability to use mantras and spells from the Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtues. Even though they were not as sharp and precise than if they were cast by his original body, it would be a mistake to underestimate them.

Cai Fengzhou's Yin Yang Limitless Mystic World appeared like it was unable to stop the unstoppable force of Zhu Yi's spell. Under the pressure of the golden bridge, the artificial started to tremble violently.

"An avatar can cast a spell such as this. Impressive, indeed." Cai Fengzhou heaved a sigh as he extended his hands in front of his body, with one palm facing the other.

The two streaks of black and white energy around his body orbited as they concentrated towards the middle of his palms and formed a spinning whirlpool.

This whirlpool spun continuously until it was gradually transformed into a sinister light sphere that resembled a dense fruit.

Uncountable numbers of glyphs and runes appeared within this fruit, and displayed a vast and limitless concept of power that shook this entire area within the Small Divine Lands World.

Cai Fengzhou was channeling the power of his own Dao Fruit, also known as the Yin Yang Revolution Dao Fruit.

The Dao Fruit was a mass of black and white, as if innumerable numbers of thin black and white line were intertwined together. However, every line and pattern was clear and unobscured, and the black lines were independent from the white lines. The form it took was one of perfect harmony and coexistence, and was immensely profound and sophisticated.

Cai Fengzhou's palms separated and the Yin Yang Revolution Dao Fruit descended onto the artificial world created by the Yin Yang Limitless Mystic World spell and integrated itself within.

The golden bridge created by Zhu Yi's composition was about to break through the barrier before the entire world suddenly changed.

The Yin and Yang energies that filled up the entire world started spiraling and transformed the entire world into a giant maelstrom that spun incessantly. Heaven and Earth appeared as if they were splitting apart, and were about to be separated into two pieces with Zhu Yi trapped in the middle.

The top and bottom of this giant maelstrom spun at the same time but in completely opposite directions, as if the entire world was transformed into a mill disc.

Every rotation increased the strength of the maelstrom, and its power rose along with the continuous spinning of the mill disc over time. There didn't seem like there was a limit to how much its power could rise, and could go on for all eternity.

With Yin and Yang as the driving forces, and Heaven and Earth as a mill disc, the maelstrom sought to crush everything that was caught in between.

It was the spell that had the same reputation as the Yin Yang Limitless Mystic World, the Yin Yang Heaven Crushing Earth Grinding Spell!

The same spell cast by different people would mean a world of difference. Bai Xiqian was incomparable to Chen Xingyu, and Chen Xingyu was not even on the same scale of comparison as Cai Fengzhou.

This display of the Yin Yang Heaven Crushing Earth Grinding Spell heaped such immense pressure on Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar till the point where he was nearly unable to resist, as if his avatar was about be ground down into pieces bit by bit.

The spell was slow and gradual, but was filled with an unstoppable feeling and stole all hope away from people's hearts.

This was especially so, as Cai Fengzhou used the Yin Yang Limitless Mystic World as the foundation for the Yin Yang Heaven Crushing Earth Grinding Spell. This was equivalent to combining two spells together, and reached an unprecedented and incredible level of power.

The seamless combination of two powerful spells from the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void meant that even third-level immortal soul stage cultivators would find it difficult to resist against them.

The golden bridge formed by Zhu Yi's composition was on a path to decay and nonexistence under this new and terrifying pressure.

This glorious feeling of transcendence over the entire world made it seem like this entire region was being held down by the mill disc.

This area felt like it could be annihilated at any moment, and the petrifying power contained within was enough to send people wild with fear.

"It's not my original body after all…" Zhu Yi's expression was still calm but he shook his head faintly as he pressed the index finger of his right hand onto the center of his eyebrows.

"If my original body was here, even without the Higan Golden Bridge, we shall have another glorious battle."

Right when Zhu Yi was about to cast the Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm, his eyes flashed once and Cai Fengzhou's eyebrows creased a little as well.

The void split open over the horizon, and a single figure surged forth with blinding speed and arrived in front of Cai Fengzhou before a fist struck down towards him!

The arriving party was tall and had a striking figure, and was clad in a purple robe – it was Shi Tianhao!

Shi Tianhao's speed was incredible. The explosive strength of his physical body was unleashed, and he no longer pierced through the void but shattered everything instead.

His ferocity reached the point where he no longer bothered to follow void space as he traveled through it, and simply destroyed everything that obstructed his path and even the formless spaces in his way separated.

Cai Fengzhou felt his heart skip a beat. Even with his level of consciousness and mana, Shi Tianhao's movement still felt incredibly swift.

Cai Fengzhou lifted his hands and slammed down with his palm to seal off Shi Tianhao's iron fist.

The Heavenly Universe Palm from the Great Void Nine Heavenly Spells, the most powerful physical spell from the Great Void Sect!

This violent clash between the two forces destroyed the unlimited volumes of cloud energy above Mount Baiyun and the entire world quivered. The flow of spiritual energy was disrupted, and it appeared as if a crater was created in the Small Divine Lands World from the force of their clash.

Shi Tianhao's tall figure trembled a little in the sky as his forward momentum stopped abruptly, and he almost lost his balance.

Cai Fengzhou flew backwards from the force of the clash, and the attack that he was launching against Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar was almost discontinued from the disorientation.

Chapter 1010: The Heat Of Battle!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Cai Fengzhou forcefully blocked Shi Tianhao's fist and his body was thrown backwards. There was that miniscule moment when his immortal soul was unable to maintain his human form, and he transformed into the Yin Yang Revolution Dao Fruit for a moment, which resembled a black and white whirlpool.

He immediately regained his physical form after that tiny moment.

"This fellow possesses such powerful physical strength. Even third-level undying demon soul stage great demons are only as such." He glanced at Shi Tianhao and then at Zhu Yi before he sighed inside.

Shi Tianhao stabilized himself and laughed. "Second Senior, there's no need for your original body to waste time here. You can leave this to me and proceed up the mountain."

He stretched his neck and shot a look towards Cai Fengzhou as he nodded his head. "The spells of the Great Void Sect are indeed impressive."

Shi Tianhao's pure physical strength of today was unmatched by many third-level undying demon soul stage great demons.

Even when Cai Fengzhou unleashed the power of the Heavenly Universe Palm, he was thrown backwards and even his immortal soul became momentarily destabilized.

Of course, Cai Fengzhou was a spell cultivator and physical strength as well as physical attacks were not his strengths.

The force of his backward movement meant that he had no choice but to terminate his assault on Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar. Zhu Yi escaped his predicament and stared at Cai Fengzhou.

Previously, when he was trapped by Cai Fengzhou, it was typically in Zhu Yi's style to find some form of redemption or respite from his opponent. However, he was positive of his judgment from their combat that his Great Sun Avatar was no match for Cai Fengzhou, and if he wanted to exact his revenge on the latter, he would have to switch places with his original body.

However, the dimensional forces would hinder the effects of his Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm and Zhu Yi's original body was roaming the worlds and had come across something of good fortune, thus it would be a waste if he tore his original body away from where it was.

His brows furrowed a little and nodded his head. "We will meet again."

Zhu Yi turned towards Shi Tianhao and muttered, "He's all yours, little junior," and with that, he flew down towards the Mount Baiyun inside the Small Divine Lands World.

Cai Fengzhou shook his head and said, "Nobody is going anywhere."

He placed his hands together and streaks of black and white mana started surging around and blanketed the entire area.

Shi Tianhao raised his eyebrows and exclaimed, "You wish to fight us both at the same time?" He immediately took a step out and shattered void space as he lunged towards Cai Fengzhou.

Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar abruptly stopped in its tracks as well, and his hands were like blades as he swiped downwards and slashed open the black and white streaks of mana that were blocking his way.

"I wouldn't do this elsewhere, but this is Mount Baiyun," Cai Fengzhou smile faintly and said, "Even though it's only a Mount Baiyun created by the Crucible of the Divine Lands."

Shi Tianhao and Zhu Yi felt a sensation in their hearts as Cai Fengzhou started to drift between the heavens. Streaks of black and white mana started circling around Mount Baiyun, and the entire mountain's spiritual energy quivered in response.

This reaction from this Mount Baiyun triggered ripples from the flow of spiritual energy across the entire Small Divine Lands World.

Vast amounts of spiritual energy concentrated on the mountain and gradually transformed into a white-colored cloud pillar that shot up into the sky.

Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar wanted to close the distance, but was obstructed by the white cloud pillar and Cai Fengzhou was engaged in battle with Shi Tianhao on the other side.

Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao naturally knew everything that Wang Lin did.

When Emperor Xia was forging the Crucible of the Divine Lands, the Great Void Sec had already been undergoing expansion on Mount Baiyun for many years, and they were highly familiar with the directional flow of spiritual energy inside the Divine Lands.

This was the place which set the foundations for the Great Void Sect and where they established themselves. Regardless of whether it was for the Great Void Holy Man or the other cultivators that came after him, they obtained a better understanding of and established a special connection with Mount Baiyun's unique characteristics while they were perfecting their own mantras and whatnot.

The Divine Lands of today rendered most of these effects useless, but the Small Divine Lands World formed by the Crucible of the Divine Lands was a caricature of the Divine Lands during the Antiquity age, and these effects were not yet obsolete.

Cai Fengzhou made a gesture with his left hand while he flicked his finger with his right. A small white wooden stick which was the size of his palm flew out and positioned itself in void space.

The wooden stick grew bigger by the second, and transformed into a colossal pillar immeasurable in length in no time as it connected the heavens to the earth.

The surface of this white wooden pillar was engraved with rows and rows of white clouds as immense mana auras emanated from within – this was Cai Fengzhou's personal Metaplasia-level magic item and was called the Auspicious Cloud Pillar. Even though it wasn't yet at the Mahayan level, it still possessed great power.

With a third-level immortal soul stage cultivator like Cai Fengzhou directing a magic treasure such as the Auspicious Cloud Pillar, there was no doubt that this magic treasure's potential would be maximized.

With the help of this cloud pillar that was charged with spiritual energy, Cai Fengzhou managed to preoccupy both Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar and Shi Tianhao at the same time. However, this meant that he was unable to go near Mount Baiyun himself.

"Mu Xuan, Xingyu, Chaoyang – take the others up the mountain and enter the midsection of the mountain from the summit. That seems to be the key location."

Upon his instruction, Mu Xuan, Chen Xingyu, Guo Chaoyang and the other disciples of the Great Void Sect hurried towards Mount Baiyun.

Yue Hongyan's red brows creased as she waved her hands and flew towards Mount Baiyun as well, with Li Yuanfang, Luo Qingwu and the others following closely behind.

In order to block Shi Tianhao and Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar, the spiritual energy cloud pillar could not provide aid to Mount Baiyun, but Cai Fengzhou wouldn't have it any other way.

If he had to make a choice between Shi Tianhao and Zhu Yi, who had already formed the immortal soul, and Yue Hongyan and the others, he wouldn't hesitate in his choice to obstruct Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao.

He had no choice but to leave Yue Hongyan and the others for Chen Xingyu and Guo Chaoyang, amongst the other younger disciples of his generation. Pitting Chen Xingyu and Guo Chaoyang against Shi Tianhao and Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar was an impossible prospect.

The disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the group of cultivators from the Great Void Sect ascended to the top of Mount Baiyun at the same time. The surface area at the summit of the mountain wasn't impressive, and there was nothing else around either.

The cultivators from the Great Void Sect, who had just received pointers from Cai Fengzhou, wasted no time as they flew towards the central point of the open space.

Mu Xuan, Guo Chaoyang and Chen Xingyu formed a triangle as they started a ritual in unison, and streaks and streaks of mana were injected into Mount Baiyun beneath them.

"Open!" The three of them exclaimed at the same time while the ritual began to change and a light pillar shot up into the sky from the middle of the three of them.

With the light pillar at the center, a giant magic formation shimmered into vision. This magic formation projected itself into the sky, and it was the light shadow that resembled a mountain cave.

Li Yuanfang maintained his composure and closed his eyes. Purple light flashed around his body and transformed into mystical runes and glyphs that condensed at the top of his head while he channeled the Dongzhen Treasure Mirror Spell Formation.

The mass of runes formed a compact but sophisticated magic formation after shifting around with precise but unfathomably complicated rules. This tiny magic formation looked like a circular mirror as light pillars reflected off its surface and projected themselves onto the giant magic formation at the top of the mountain.

There wasn't much time as the group of Great Void Sect cultivators were already attempting to enter the cave entrance projected by the magic formation, so Li Yuanfang didn't bother to scrutinize it with his own perceptions and directly channeled the Dongzhen Treasure Mirror Spell Formation and sought to grasp the intricacies of this magic formation as quickly as possivle.

"Open!" Li Yuanfang exclaimed in similar fashion, as the light rays reflected from the Dongzhen Treasure Mirror Spell Formation flickered and an Eight Trigram formation glimmered from within. The Eight Trigram formation expanded continuously and completely covered the other magic formation in no time.

Li Yuanfang was already in the nascent soul intermediate stage, and his mastery of magic formations could be safely said to be unrivaled by anyone below the immortal soul stage. Even a great many immortal soul stage cultivators were incomparable to him in terms of pure mastery in magic formations. While he was channeling the Dongzhen Treasure Mirror Spell, Li Yuanfang channeled another Xuanshu Inverse Eight Trigram Mystic Formation.

Once this formation was released, the projection of the cave entrance still remained and was completely unaffected, by the control of this magic formation had been irrevocably stolen by Li Yuanfang.

The light rays blanketing the magic formation repelled several cultivators from the Great Void Sect outside instead.

Chen Xingyu, Guo Chaoyang and a few others entered the cave entrance the moment it was possible. Mu Xuan was responsible for maintaining the magic formation, but ended up being repelled by it. The cultivators that were rejected by the light rays were flicked outside.

Li Yuanfang said quietly, "I will be the anchor, you guys go ahead."

Yue Hongyan shook her head and said, "We still don't know what's going on inside the cave. I will be the sweeper, Six Junior you should take the lead." As she spoke, a dark light flashed in her hands and a green-black poleaxe appeared. It was filled with incredible ferocity, and was charged with a frightening world-destroying aura.

Li Yuanfang contemplated momentarily but he was never very indecisive so he immediately nodded his head and said, "Okay!"

He turned towards Luo Qingwu, "You will take the lead and I will catch up with you as soon as possible."

Luo Qingwu said nothing more and nodded her head as she led the charge into the mountain cave. Tang Jun, Han Yang and the others followed closely behind while Li Yuanfang's original body was the last to enter. However, he left behind his Soul-Imprinted Avatar to support the magic formation and to help Yue Hongyan hold it down.

Yue Hongyan gripped the Royal Extermination Pole-Ax and pointed the tip of the weapon towards u Xuan and the other cultivators of the Great Void Sect. Her face was calm and she remained silent.

She wasn't actually in her peak condition. In her epic battle against the Blood Mane Grand Sage when she killed him, her right shoulder had been tunneled through by her opponent and her bones were shattered and she lost a great deal of blood. For cultivators of the Martial Way, this was a severe injury and recovery took a very long time. If this wasn't seen through with proper care, her battle prowess might even regress.

With the help of Luo Qingwu's Virtuous Earth Sword of Life, Zhu Yi bestowed upon her the Rebirth of the Phoenix Spell so that she wouldn't have any lasting problems, and so that she could continue fighting. However, for a short period of time, she wouldn't be able to channel her peak strength.

Yue Hongyan elegantly stood where she was with her poleax in hand. Her aura of a fearless general like she could hold off ten thousand men all by herself covered the entire peak of Mount Baiyun. Some of the cultivators from the Great Void Sect were afraid to cross the electric field.

Mu Xuan, Shan Xiang and Ding Runfeng stared at Yue Hongyan. Shan Xiang's eyes flowed with uncontrollable hatred and rage, along with an obscure but deep-seated fear.

In the Greater World ten year ago, it was this red-haired girl before him that pummeled his junior, Bai Xiqian, who was also his lover, until she almost died after the battle.

Over the years, every time Shan Xiang looked at Bai Xiqian who was still severely injured and struggled to recover, he would erupt with uncontrollable wrath.

When he was facing Han Yang, Yang Tie and the other second-generation disciples from the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Shan Xiang was still able to hold down his fury. However, Yue Hongyan herself was standing before, and every ounce of hatred that he had accumulated over the years reached skyrocketed in an instant.

Compared to Shan Xiang, Ding Runfeng felt deep hopelessness and exasperation. These were feelings that greatly surpassed the feelings of fear and hatred.

After the battle of Xiling City, Ding Runfeng did think about working harder and battling Yue Hongyan once more. In the end, Bai Xiqian did end up battling Yue Hongyan in his stead.

However, looking at Yue Hongyan now, Ding Runfeng felt at a loss. Back then, Yue Hongyan was only in the aurous core beginner stage and Bai Xiqian was in the aurous core advanced stage.

Today, even though he had successfully formed the nascent soul, the red-haired girl before him was already in the nascent soul intermediate stage!

Chapter 1011: Old Feuds Remain Unresolved And New Hatreds Are Formed

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"Junior Ding, please remain calm and compose yourself. Otherwise, you will have lost the battle before it has even begun." Mu Xuan spoke first and Ding Runfeng came out of his trance and forced a faint smile.

Mu Xuan was still calm as usual, and returned Yue Hongyan's gaze with a pair of plain eyes and slowly walked forward.

Mu Xuan said plainly, "She has at least one magic item on her. Don't have to interfere with this battle."

Ding Runfeng nodded his head faintly while Shan Xiang turned around sharply towards Mu Xuan. Mu Xuan spoke softly, "Junior Shan, even I am not that prepared, but because my Dao I can wait no longer."

"You're different. You still have time, so you cannot be rash. This girl's physical strength and her mantras are explosive, and if you lose this battle you'll be heavily injured at the very least."

The fire in Shan Xiang's eyes died down and he regained his composure. However, once that happened, a bitter smile unwittingly appeared on Shan Xiang's face.

He wasn't even able to defeat an aurous core advanced stage cultivator, and that person was Yue Hongyan's junior by an entire generation. If he were to go up against Yue Hongyan, he would probably not be able to resolve old feuds and would end up forming new hatreds instead.

Ding Runfeng sighed inside as he heard Mu Xuan's words as well.

If he couldn't win now, his hopes to do so in the future were even slimmer. This was probably his personal experience, and also the reason for his hopelessness and his low morale.

In contrast to Shan Xiang's hatred and Runfeng's weak sentimentality, Mu Xuan's expression was calm from the very beginning, as if the person before her wasn't someone from the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

However, most of Yue Hongyan's concentration was focused on this cold-looking lady before her.

Even though there were other disciples from the Great Void Sect around her, and cultivators with the Pure Yang Being like Ding Runfeng and Shan Xiang, who was also in the nascent soul intermediate stage, Yue Hongyan's gaze was fixated upon Mu Xuan.

Behind her, Li Yuanfang's Soul-Imprinted Avatar's attention was also given to Mu Xuan even as he was watching over the magic formation.

Mu Xuan took step after step towards Yue Hongyan. As she walked, she said softly, "Reveal yourself, my precious."

Six different colors shimmered over her head. Black, white, yellow, green, red and blue light rays flickered as a small sword just over a foot long drifted into vision.

Yue Hongyan raised her eyebrows and muttered, "Oh, the Six Appearances Sword?"

The small sword that appeared over Mu Xuan's head was a magic treasure, and it was the same one that Pang Jie used to protect himself when he was in the nascent soul advanced sage – the Six Appearances Sword.

During the first time the Celestial Sect of Wonders opened their mountain gates, Pang Jie had used this sword before in battle before he was trapped and defeated by the Two Elements of Creation Formation and eventually imprisoned.

Following his return to Mount Baiyun, the Six Appearances Sword was returned as well. The next time he departed the mountain, he was imprisoned again by the Great Void Demon-Crushing Stone, and the Xuan Lin Holy Man took the Six Appearances Sword back to the mountain for safe-keeping. During their preparations to enter the Ancient Desolate Galaxy this time around, the seniors of the Great Void Sect gifted this magic item to Mu Xuan.

Yue Hongyan was present during the Celestial Sect of Wonders first mountain gate opening ceremony, and she could recognize the Six Appearances Sword.

"My master, Pang Jie." Mu Xuan's lips moved and she uttered these four words quietly.

Yue Hongyan's face remained unchanged and nodded her head in response. The Royal Extermination Pole-Ax in her hand quivered as the destructive aura that came from it grew denser. This aura matched that of the Six Appearances Sword and showed no weakness.

An old voice came out from the Six Appearances Sword. "What a fearsome weapon."

Mu Xuan said softly, "Thank you, Six Appearances Sword."

The sword spoke again. "This girl possesses powerful mantras. You have to take care not to let her get too close, if not you will have a difficult time." With that, the body of the sword trembled and rang as its entire form started to change. Five of the six treasure lights surrounding it started to withdraw, leaving only the green ray.

A long howl of the dragon came from the middle of the green ray of light, and a colossal ship surged out across the void with an unstoppable forward motion as if it was simply riding the brutal waves.

This was one of the forms of the Six Appearances Sword – the Soaring Dragon's Boat.

Mu Xuan landed on top of the Soaring Dragon's Boat, and the flying boat drifted into the sky. It seemed uncannily nimble and agile as it tore through the void with an unpredictable movement. The boat broke through layers of obstruction as if it could overcome any challenge and it could do whatever it wanted.

Once she was on the boat, Mu Xuan started to retreat instead and added layer after layer of space to distance herself as much as she could from Yue Hongyan.

She opened her hands and light condensed in the middle of her palms. A light sphere was formed, and it could be seen that there were nine holes on the sphere, and snging sounds could be heard from every single one. It felt as if there was a divine existence within every hole, and nine different deities were awakened with terrifying force.

Rays of light poured out from all nine holes, and profound runes and glyphs flickered within every streak. Uncountable rays of light rained down like a thunderstorm and crashed down towards Yue Hongyan.

Mu Xuan stood on top of the Soaring Dragon's Boat and surged through the void. The rays of divine light from the Supreme Nine-Holes Mantra of the True Gods descended like divine judgments from the heavens and covered the entire peak of the mountain.

Yue Hongyan's face was calm as she waved her Royal Extermination Pole-Ax lightly through the air and swept the light rays clean.

Her foot tapped softly on the ground.

With this action, Yue Hongyan's body started to release blinding brilliance as if every single pore in her body had opened up, and resembled the flicker of starlight.

The stars seemed to have awoken along with Yue Hongyan's gesture, and drifted with unpredictable positions. There was a feeling of the unfathomable complexity of the universe and the mystical movement of constellations as vast volumes of energy were released.

How great were the powers of the stars, and how spectacular were the shifting of the stars in the night sky?

The pores all over Yue Hongyan's body were, of course, not real stars, but the movement of blood around her body embodied similar principles and imitated the theories of the shifting of constellations and exuded frightening power.

Suddenly, she stepped forward three times. With her first step, she created illusions and holograms that were impossible to predict, much like the mass of stars in the sky.

With her second step, the mass of illusions around her body dwindled down to twenty-eight. Even though she was holding the Royal Extermination Pole-Ax, the weapon had incorporated the powers of Emperor Chen's Martial Way – the Celestial Fist of the Twenty-Eight Mansions.

With her third step, all light shadows combined into a single figure to reveal Yue Hongyan's figure – except she was no longer at her original position, and she was already on top of the Soaring Dragon's Boat and right in front of Mu Xuan!

The killer move from Emperor Chen's lineage – the Shifting Stars Technique!

Ever since Zhu Yi obtained an entire lineage of powerful physical spells from the Great Sun Avatar, the Celestial Sect of Wonders had successfully incorporated the important principles into their own mantras.

Yue Hongyan's Shifting Stars Technique wasn't as pure and effective compared to when it was cast by Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar. However, it was unique in its own way and appeared ever so ferocious and explosive.

Her body quivered. This ripple movement started from the bottom of her feet, then to her legs and to her waist, and followed her body all the way up her spine to the top of her head. This violent tremble of her body gave the Royal Extermination Pole-Ax in her hands a new level of brutality, and every movement appeared like it could sweep down the stars in the sky.

Everything fell into Mu Xuan's eyes as her pupils contracted and the Soaring Dragon's Boat shivered beneath her feet. An old voice could be heard, saying, "Change!"

Between the flickering of light, the form of the boat started to change and the patches of green were converted into blue-colored lights.

Under the cover blue light, the gargantuan boat swiftly minimized and transformed into a blue shield and came in between Mu Xuan and Yue Hongyan at the last moment.

It was another form of the Six Appearances Sword – the Acalanatha Void Shield.

In the same moment when the Acalanatha Void Shield came into existence, Yue Hongyan's burst forth with the Royal Extermination Pole-Ax and combined the power of the Shifting Stars Technique with the power of the Unstoppable Thunderstorm Spear Technique.

Mu Xuan took a deep breath as her head lit up and a light projection over a thousand feet tall glimmered.

This human projection was faceless and there was nothing on his face. There were tattoos of the sun and stars in the sky while he wore a robe stitched with mountains and rivers, and stepped on large patches of white clouds.

An aura of incredible nobility and dignity came out from it, as if he was the true reason of this world and decided all the rules and whatnot, as if he represented the great Dao of the entire earth!

This was Mu Xuan's cosmic form, created from cultivating the Mantra of the Great Oblivion.

At the same time, Yue Hongyan's Royal Extermination Pole-Ax clashed violently with the Acalanatha Void Shield formed by the Six Appearances Sword.

The brutal force caused the Acalanatha Void Shield to tremble as the condensed blue light shattered continuously. The tip of the green-black poleaxe made a crackling sound as it came into contact with the surface of the shield.

A small crack appeared in the center of the Acalanatha Void Shield, and started to web out.

The original soul of the magic item grunted with intense agony. Mu Xuan's typically plain eyes also revealed a level of pity and emotion.

The force of Yue Hongyan's strike after she closed the distance between the two of them was just too vicious. If not for the Six Appearances Sword that came to her aid at the last moment, she would have been severely injured even if she survived the ordeal.

The principles of the Acalanatha Void Shield were already extremely profound, and no matter the calamity in the outside world, it would remain unmoving and could never be eradicated.

However, the forward thrust of Yue Hongyan and her Royal Extermination Pole-Ax was simply too powerful, and exceeded the limits of the Acalanatha Void Shield.

Both magic items were in the hands of nascent soul stage cultivators, and were naturally unable to unleash their maximum potentials. In typical combat, if the Acalanatha Void Shield focused on defense, even if it wasn't as powerful as the Royal Extermination Pole-Ax, it wouldn't crumble under the pressure from a single strike.

This result could only mean one thing.

The user of the Royal Extermination Pole-Ax was stronger!

Mu Xuan's eyes sparkled before she quickly regained her composure. Her cosmic form imitated her actions as she started to cast a spell, and both of them surged through space and touched the back of the Acalanatha Void Shield. She took the magic treasure and even that giant cosmic form and vanished into the virtual world.

The Dimensionless Transformation was not entirely a defensive spell, but when it was used under the right circumstances, it had an effectiveness that was superior to that of other proper defensive spells.

Yue Hongyan participated in the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai when she was only in the foundation establishment stage, she made use of the fixed position of cultivators below the immortal soul stage who casted this very spell to defeat her opponent. However, the entirety of her explosiveness was unleashed upon the Acalanatha Void Shield, and Mu Xuan's Dimensionless Transformation gave herself and the Six Appearances Sword a chance.

Still, Yue Hongyan's reaction was fast and her physical techniques could be used and withdrawn at whim. When the first strike of the Royal Extermination Pole-Ax no longer had a target, she changed her stance and thrusted once more towards Mu Xuan, who was back in the real world.

However, Mu Xuan placed her palms together and her physical body grew slow and frozen. A sphere of flickering light shadow came out from the top of her head – it was the astral projection of her soul.

At the same time, the flashing blue light of the Acalanatha Void Shield tried to suppress its own injuries and changed form once more, and the blue lights around its body transformed into a patch of black.

Chapter 1012: I Can't Even Beat You!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Six Appearances Sword was named as such as this magic item could take six different forms for six different purposes. It was one of the more outstanding gestation-level magic treasures amongst its kind.

However, for this magic treasure to ascend into the metaplasia level, more effort was required to refine it compared to other ones.

The Six Appearances Sword contained six different treasures lights – black, white, yellow, green, red, and blue – and each color represented the six different forms.

The Soaring Dragon's Boat was green in color and roamed the skies fearlessly.

The Acalanatha Void Shield flashed blue and was exemplary in defense and in its protective powers.

The Sword of the Righteous Way radiated with white light and possessed the aura of supreme justice, and sought to cleanse the world of all evil as it slashed open the skies.

The red-colored Dayan Furnace could be used to make pills and medicine, and it could also be used to trap enemies within to assimilate them.

The Saint-Trapping Cursed Lock flashed with yellow lights and was used to arrest one's enemies and their mana and was used in taking live prisoners.

The last form of the Six Appearances Sword was a sharp and gloomy spike that radiated with black light and drifted between the skies. It phased between the virtual world and the real world, and was so obscure that it was almost undetectable by the naked eye. Its speed of oscillation was so fast that its exact location was hard to pinpoint as well.

This was the last form of the Six Appearances Sword – the Frightening Divine Spike!

There was a spell that shared a reputation with this entity, and came from the Great Void Sect's Soul Archives. It was named the "Exploration of the Great Void Thinking", and was one of the most powerful techniques of the Mantra of the Soul.

Mu Xuan's physical body and even her eyes became lackadaisical, and even her eyeballs appeared like they were frozen in time and her whole body became like a clay doll.

There was a nearly undetectable light shadow above her head that was so obscure that it was nearly undetectable – the astral projection of the soul.

Li Yuanfang's Soul-Imprinted Avatar crossed his legs as he sat in the middle of the mountain formation. His face was unchanging, but there was a tinge of surprise in his eyes as he never though Mu Xuan would dare to use the astral projection of the soul right before Yue Hongyan.

Spells of the soul were sinister and unpredictable with many different transformations. However, there were two publicly-recognized counters to this type: powerful lightning spells, and the blood essence of powerful physical cultivators at the same level of mastery that burned like a furnace.

People believed the saying that ghosts and whatnot did not dare to come close to energetic people. Even though this took things a little too far, it described several issues on a fundamental level.

Yue Hongyan was a focused physical cultivator, and even though she was injured and thus unable to reach the full potential of her powers, her blood essence was boiling and full of energy. Most souls and ghosts and whatnot would dissipate into nothingness when they came close.

Under the circumstance that her spells and mana were inferior to Yue Hongyan, Mu Xuan still dared to use the astral projection of the soul – it felt as if she was seeking her own demise.

This was naturally not because she was tired of being alive. The reason why Mu Xuan dared to make this move was because of her confidence in the Six Appearances Sword!

The battle between Mu Xuan and Yue Hongyan raged on, and multiple moves were exchanged in the next instant. Both cultivators' lives were on the line as the onlookers didn't dare to blink at all.

At this point, the other cultivators of the Great Void Sect rushed up to attack the cave entrance at the top of the mountain.

Their gazes followed Mu Xuan's movements as they yelled in unison. "Senior Mu has won! Our plan has succeeded!"

"That strike was the most perilous and the riskiest, but it was also the most important one. That strike wasn't able to do anything to her, so the situation is in her hands once more!"

Li Yuanfang continued to maintain the magic formation to hold them back but his brows started to crease as he raised his eyes towards the epic battle between Mu Xuan and Yue Hongyan in the void space above him.

Yue Hongyan knew right away that it was an astral projection of the soul as she watched Mu Xuan's movements.

She refused to believe that Mu Xuan, who was a disciple of the Great Void Sect, was unaware of the weaknesses of spells of the soul. Therefore, since she was still willing to use them, it meant she was probably relying on something else.

Yue Hongyan's blood boiled in her veins and her eyes sparkled as if they were burning with fire.

Her gaze appeared tangible, even, like a red-colored light pillar that swept across the void and scrutinized everything around her.

She suddenly saw Mu Xuan's soul injecting itself into the Frightening Divine Spike, which was still flickering with black light.

The circle of black light around the Frightening Divine Spike grew denser as Mu Xuan's cosmic form withdrew her physical body and gripped the Frightening Divine Spike with one hand – and thrusted it forward towards Yue Hongyan!

The black lights flashed once and disappeared into nothingness in the next moment.

It was difficult to be seen with the naked eye, but the light that sparkled in Yue Hongyan's eyes enabled her to faintly see and she realized that the Frightening Divine Spike was coming straight for her.

Whether it was the Frightening Divine Spike spell that was recorded in the "Exploration of the Great Void Thinking", or the Frightening Divine Spike itself that was transformed by the Six Appearances Sword, it was targeted at cutting through the opponent's soul.

When Mu Xuan's soul integrated into the Frightening Divine Spike, she received its protection and was entirely unafraid of Yue Hongyan's energetic blood essence.

This situation was similar to a human inside a ship – he or she would not need to fear the water and the waves all around.

Mu Xuan used the spell of the soul to direct the Frightening Divine Spike as both forces combined together to become a much more powerful one.

At this point, it was Yue Hongyan who was in the dire situation. When the radiant and energetic blood essence of physical cultivators were unable to counter spells of the soul, they would be in a precarious situation when faced with this type of spell.

Physical cultivators with pure physical strength without the corresponding willpower and resilience meant they would never become great.

Yue Hongyan's soul wasn't weak, but this strength wasn't reflected on her soul. She had trouble defending herself when faced with the forward thrust of the Frightening Divine Spike.

In normal days, physical cultivators were the natural counter to soul cultivators. However, when this natural counter ceased to exist, the table would be turned around completely as physical cultivators found it extremely challenging to defend against the assaults of soul spells.

Yue Hongyan's red brows flew up as her eyes widened. If she had the Seven Merciless Stars Armor, she wouldn't have been afraid of this soul strike as the Seven Merciless Stars Armor combined both offense and defense, and both aspects were not only relevant for material things.

If she could only obstruct Mu Xuan's strike for a tiny moment, she had the confidence of shattering her opponent's cosmic form.

However, both the Seven Merciless Stars Armor or the Royal Extermination Pole-Ax were considered brutal and aggressive magic items and would subconsciously influence the user's mentality. They would fill his or her head with destructive and murderous thoughts, and this would cause the user to become frustrated and even hysterical.

In normal times, Yue Hongyan could resist this negative influence even when she channeled both magic items at the same time. However, her condition wasn't perfect right now, and she knew she could only use one magic item at any one time to achieve maximum flexibility and freedom.

Based on her personality, she would never choose the defensive Seven Merciless Stars Armor and would rather take the Royal Extermination Pole-Ax, which was a weapon of pure offense.

She still had time if she wanted to swap out the Royal Extermination Pole-Ax for her Seven Merciless Stars Armor. However, Yue Hongyan decided against it and howled into the air – gusts of wind that didn't look like wind surrounded her body as red-colored energy that flashed with terrifying lights enveloped her entire body.

It was the Avici Infernal Gale of the Four Grand Primordial Winds.

The Avici Infernal Gale was designed to target the opponent's soul, and could be said to counter spells of the soul in some sense. However, it was not the same as the energy in one's blood as the Avici Infernal Gale had an existence in between the virtual and the real world and didn't have an absolute material form.

Mu Xuan's strike didn't slow down at all. She was acutely aware that Yue Hongyan of the Celestial Sect of Wonders possessed the Avici Infernal Gale, but she was confident in the power of her own spell combined with the Frightening Divine Spike.

Even though the Avici Infernal Gale was fearsome, the Frightening Divine Spike's power was focused onto a single point and was as pure as it could be. Before she took a hit from the Avici Infernal Gale, Mu Xuan had the confidence of piercing through Yue Hongyan's soul and severely injuring her.

Yue Hongyan's face was as calm as ever as her body became obscured within the flickering gusts of the Avici Infernal Gale.

Initially, Mu Xuan didn't take special notice of what happened but her face subsequently turned pale as she suddenly realized that Yue Hongyan seemed to become a single entity with the Avici Infernal Gale and couldn't possibly be differentiated.

This meant that her Frightening Divine Spike no longer had a locked-in target, and was unable to go straight for Yue Hongyan's soul.

"The Avici Infernal Gale eroded the soul, and erodes even the physical body – how is she hiding?" Mu Xuan's typically plain eyes were filled with astonishment. "She's a physical cultivator and this means that her physical body is relatively powerful – how can she hide herself inside the Avici Infernal Gale?"

"Stay calm! This must be one of her spells of the soul!" A frail old voice came out from the Frightening Divine Spike while black light rolled around as it entangled itself with the Avici Infernal Gale that was still flashing red.

In the next moment, the layers of red light and light mist dissipated and revealed Yue Hongyan's figure along with the Royal Extermination Pole-Ax. The red-haired girl was as composed as she was when the battle began.

The Frightening Divine Spike grunted once and said, "Seems like not only are you adept with the Martial Way, you're equally skilled with spells of the soul!"

Yue Hongyan muttered in response, "This is called the Avici March, and it's also a physical technique."

Both Mu Xuan and the Frightening Divine Spike were struck dumb as they watched the red lights flashing all over Yue Hongyan's body. It felt as if her entire being comprised of only the Avici Infernal Gale, and her body was integrated into the sea of Avici Infernal Gale around her – she stepped forward as if she were breaking through the waves and crashed down towards Mu Xuan and the Frightening Divine Spike.

The green-black Royal Extermination Pole-Ax in her hands radiated with red light as the Avici Infernal Gale supported its strike. Between the swings of this terrifying weapon, ghostly wails could be heard and everything formed a petrifying picture that froze even the bravest of hearts.

The Royal Extermination Pole-Ax slashed onto Mu Xuan's Frightening Divine Spike directly and both parties clashed violently in the void. The Frightening Divine Spike was already injured, and shuddered once before it released another muffled grunt.

Mu Xuan's cosmic form was directing the Frightening Divine Spike, but she was met with the powerful and forceful resistance of the Avici Infernal Gale and was ultimately unable to harm Yue Hongyan's soul.

Despite her usual composure, there was a feeling of hopelessness that came from deep within Mu Xuan's heart as she felt like this opponent before her was unbeatable no matter what she did.

Yue Hongyan's great pole-ax swung back and forth and forced Mu Xuan backward.

The rolling red light mist covered the entire summit of Mount Baiyun, and gradually consumed Mu Xuan's cosmic form. Under the continuous assault of the Avici Infernal Gale, specks of cracks started to web out all over.

It was as if a clay doll was being battered repeatedly under a rainstorm, and was slowly fading way as it eroded under the all the decay.

Yue Hongyan's assault stance became stronger and stronger as her movements grew ever so smooth. The Royal Extermination Pole-Ax swept away the Frightening Divine Spike with a single swipe and she turned the weapon back around as the other end of the weapon struck Mu Xuan's cosmic form acorss the waist!

Mu Xuan casted the Dimensionless Transformation once again, but the Avici Infernal Gale around Yue Hongyan's body flared up and blocked off this entire region. When Mu Xuan's cosmic form returned to the real world, Yue Hongyan's second strike had already arrived – she flipped the weapon around and this swipe directly separated Mu Xuan's cosmic form into half!

Mu Xuan's cosmic form slowly crumbled and gradually returned to Mu Xuan's original physical form. She could only watch as her cosmic form was laid to ruin, and then she stared at Yue Hongyan in silence.

The Frightening Divine Spike in her hands raged with black light and channeled a last-ditch attempt as it thrusted itself against Yue Hongyan for one final strike.

Yue Hongyan raised her eyebrows as the pole-ax in her hands switched directions once again. Between the rotations of the weapon, the butt of the pole-ax blocked the Frightening Divine Spike and she let go of her weapon. She clenched her fists and channeled the power of the ferocious Avici Infernal Gale before she struck down on the Frightening Divine Spike with immense force!

Chapter 1013: The Foundations Of The Leverage Against The Great Void Sect

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Yue Hongyan's pale white fists flickered with red light as they smashed against the Frightening Divine Spike.

The half-virtual Frightening Divine Spike, as it was pounded by Yue Hongyan's fists, suddenly became real and material as a loud booming sound could be heard.

The black light around the Frightening Divine Spike had been broken by the Royal Extermination Pole-Ax and was not yet able to recuperate, and now it took another hit from Yue Hongyan's fists.

The Frightening Divine Spike was a magic item and could still resist the impact to some degree, but Mu Xuan's soul was deposited within and started to tremble violently from the brutal impact.

She withdrew her soul from the protection of the Frightening Divine Spike at once. Even though she was adept with spells of the soul so her soul was relatively powerful, she was faced with the layers of Avici Infernal Gale and was in agonizing pain. This was especially so after the destruction of her cosmic form and the subsequent withering of her strength and power.

Her soul returned to her physical body. Once both parts came back together, traces of blood trickled down from the corner of her mouth as she stumbled backward.

Yue Hongyan retracted her fists and swiped once more with the Royal Extermination Pole-Ax as she sent the Frightening Divine Spike flying.

The black light around the Frightening Divine Spike was a lot dimmer than before. Between the flashes of white, red, blue, green and yellow, the Spike returned to its original form as the Six Appearances Sword.

The Six Appearances Sword returned to Mu Xuan's side. Mu Xuan's eyes were disoriented and she was staring into space as blood oozed out from her eyes, nose and mouth. She looked extremely battered and exhausted.

The astral projection of the soul was deceptive and insidious, but it was without the protection of the physical body and any damage was inflicted directly upon the soul.

Mu Xuan's cosmic form was destroyed by Yue Hongyan, and her mana was temporarily discharged with no chance of coming back for now and it was impossible for her to stabilize her soul.

Shan Xiang, Ding Runfeng and the other cultivators from the Great Void Sect watched on with mouths agape, bereft. Never did they think that the tables would turn so abruptly – Mu Xuan had the best winning chances, but ended up losing the battle so badly.

It wasn't a split-second decision for Mu Xuan to use the spells of the soul. Of all the cultivators in the Great Void Sect under the immortal soul stage, she was one of the disciples with relatively more powerful souls. Spells of the soul were her forte, and with a sudden thrust from the Frightening Divine Spike, even other immortal soul stage cultivators had to be careful when handling this attack.

While soul cultivators were naturally countered by the energetic blood essence of physical cultivators, Mu Xuan's usage of the Six Appearances Sword and its Frightening Divine Spike form gave her immunity against the boiling blood essence of physical cultivators below the immortal soul stage.

Mu Xuan had even factored in Yue Hongyan's Avici Infernal Gale. However, Yue Hongyan studied the interaction of her physical techniques with the power of the Avici Infernal Gale for many years and with the help of Lin Feng's pointers, she managed to reach a new level.

Mu Xuan also considered the possibility that Yue Hongyan's power was vastly greater than before. However, it was impossible for her to know the degree of Yue Hongyan's improvement, and neither could she tell the areas in which Yue Hongyan had improved. This was something to be ascertained throughout the course of battle, yet this meant she had to incur a great cost and could possibly lead to her falling into the abyss with no chance of return.

At this moment, Mu Xuan was in this very situation.

Her soul was severely injured and she felt the agonizing pain in her mind, as if uncountable numbers of needles were piercing her and it was unbearable.

Her mind was all over the place as she started to see stars with her dizzy eyes. Her eyes flashed black from time to time, and it was clear that she had lost all ability to continue the battle.

The destruction of her cosmic form also meant a great decline in her powers, and reforming the cosmic form would take a lot of time.

She was still young, and compared to the typical three-thousand-six-hundred age of nascent soul cultivators, time wasn't a problem. However, her heart started growing cold as she felt her mind quiver and shudder.

Her practice of the Mantra of the Great Oblivion cut off any possibility of turning around. Due to the fact that she channeled her feelings for Pang Jie to the highest possible level, if she couldn't advance in her mantras she would slip back down for sure.

In the end, she lost to a disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, at the hands of Yue Hongyan who was only in the nascent soul intermediate stage. This psychological trauma was too much for her to take.

Instead of undoing the knot in her heart, the knot only became tighter. Over the years of practicing the Mantra of the Great Oblivion, Mu Xuan could tell that things were taking a turn for the worse.

Yue Hongyan glanced at Mu Xuan and the Six Appearances Sword as she gripped the Royal Extermination Pole-Ax behind her back. Her figure was back on top of the summit of Mount Baiyun, and she stared coldly at the other cultivators from the Great Void Sect.

Shan Xiang, Ding Runfeng and the others abruptly stopped in their tracks as their hearts sank.

The battle between Mu Xuan and Yue Hongyan actually didn't take too long, and it was clear who was the victor.

Not only was Mu Xuan's cosmic form eliminated, her soul was severely damaged and the Six Appearances Sword suffered similar injuries as the Acalanatha Void Shield and as the Frightening Divine Spike.

Under such circumstances, it was almost an impossibility for them to break through the barrier formed by Yue Hongyan and Li Yuanfang's avatar.

Shan Xiang planted his eyes upon Yue Hongyan as Ding Runfeng placed a hand on his shoulder. Shan Xiang turned around sharply as Ding Runfeng shook his head subtly. "Don't forget Senior Mu's words – Senior Shan, do let me say something that may sound offensive, but if you going up against her doesn't help anything."

Shan Xiang closed his eyes as a painful expression flashed across his face and said nothing. Ding Runfeng turned towards Yue Hongyan and thought about Bai Xiqian all those years ago and felt the same bitter feeling surface in his heart. He sighed inside and thought, "I guess we can only rely upon Junior Chen and Junior Guo now."

Chen Xingyu bore the heavy mantle of his sect, but his face was still as calm as usual. Still, he wasn't feeling too good.

The reason was because of the youth that was standing before him with the exact same expression.

This youth looked normal enough – he wasn't as overbearing as Tang Jun, and wasn't as unbending and stubborn-looking as Han Yang, and he wasn't as cold as Zhou Yuncong. His features were proper but can't be said to be handsome.

However, he had a demeanor that gave people relief and took away their worries, as if he would never let someone down. His unwavering stability was slightly frightening and his quiet determination was blinding to the eye.

It was the Celestial Sect of Wonder's Heavenly Temple's second-generation first disciple, Yang Tie.

His hands were open by his side, and dirty-yellow lights condensed in his left palm while a stream of blue water drifted around his right. This stream of water wasn't agile and swift, and instead appeared dense and weighty like the rays of light in his left hand.

Icy-blue mist hovered around Chen Xingyu's body as pale white radiance flickered. The dark and shadowy Yin-Terminating Hell danced along the void in the mid-section of the mountain.

Yang Tie nodded his head faintly. "The Yin-Terminating Entity…Your Yin-Terminating Hell is indeed impressive."

Zhou Yuncong, Liu Xiafeng and Li Xingfei were standing behind him and the three of them stared at Chen Xingyu as black smoke started billowing around his body.

"Senior Zhou – you and Senior Liu Xia and Senior Li will continue onward. Let me handle this," Yang Tie passed a voice-projected message to Zhou Yuncong, "Master, Senior Uncle and the others have already given their instructions. Unless you can kill Chen Xingyu on the spot, you can't fight him in the near future."

Zhou Yuncong's eyes were gloomy. He was acutely aware of what Yang Tie was talking about, but the exasperation in his heart was intense.

Liu Xiafeng walked in front of him and said softly, "There will always be a chance. Stay calm, control yourself, and think of the Daoist name given to you by Fifth Senior Uncle."

Zhou Yuncong took a deep breath and turned around. There was no way he was going to stick around for another second longer.

His personality was cold and his actions cruel, and he never gave his opponents a chance. This wasn't because he truly enjoyed killing – instead, it was the influence of his Yang-Incinerating Entity.

When faced with Chen Xingyu, he experienced an innate notion of hostility and craved to fight him. However, there wasn't any bad blood between the two of them and if Chen Xingyu didn't take the initiative to make a move against him, no matter how frustrated and impatient he was, he couldn't make the first move either.

Liu Xiafeng and Li Xingfei felt a little relieved that Zhou Yuncong was receptive to their advice. They turned towards Yang Tie and said, "Junior Yang, do be careful."

Yang Tie nodded his head and said, "Don't worry, I am here." Liu Xiafeng and Li Xingfei didn't say much in response to those words and followed behind Zhou Yuncong into the deeper regions of the mountain's midsection.

The Yin-Terminating Hell extended outward and the warmth in Chen Xingyu's eyes were completely gone. His expression was deathly plain and ice-cold.

His tone was equally plain and calm, as if there wasn't an ounce of emotion contained within. "The Great Void Sect cannot possibly give way in the fight for the Crucible of the Divine Lands. I'm sorry, Yang Tie."

With that, a gust of icy-blue energy from the Yin-Terminating Hell swept towards Yang Tie.

"You're too polite." Yang Tie's hands were still by his side, but the lights in his hands suddenly changed.

The Central Wutu Divine Light in his left hand was initially dirty-yellow in color, but became brighter and brighter until it was converted into a pure and pristine light. The Great Chaos Primordial Water in his right hand was flashing blue, but its color gradually grew darker and became a patch of eerie darkness.

Yang Tie placed his hands together and muttered, "Unlimited light and boundless darkness, the beginning of the two extremities that created the destiny of the worlds."

The black and white lights instantly transformed into giant altar that was something like a Datura flower, yet wasn't so similar at the same time.

Uncountable numbers of blinding light rays and a similar volume of pitch-black lines intertwined together to form a pattern that resembled the trails of the stars in the sky and webbed out to form a tiny independent world.

Chen Xingyu's cold disposition as a result of the Yin-Terminating Hell betrayed a tinge of emotion as he watched this scene and his eyes sparkled a little.

Anybody in the Divine Lands with even a little bit of knowledge could recognize this spell

This was a spell that originated from Lin Feng's second disciple, and the master of the Heavenly Temple – Zhu Yi. It was invented from his own ingenuities, and was called the Great Boundaries of the Celestial Light and Darkness Mandala.

Similar to Zhou Yuncong's Yang-Incinerating Vital Spirit and his Yang-Incinerating Mana-Eradicating Spell, which was able to erode and destroy the opponent's Yang energy and inflict damage to his or her spells and mana and could even injure the opponent's personal Yang being, Chen Xingyu's Yin-Terminating Hell was able to whittle down his opponent's Yin energies.

Faced with an opponent like Chen Xingyu, Yang Tie wasn't about to start off defending himself. Even though he appeared like the passive ones in his battles and made the second move in retaliation, it wasn't true that he didn't understand the importance and logic of initiative and geographical advantages and whatnot.

He directly unleashed the power of the Great Boundaries of the Celestial Light and Darkness Mandala and sealed off Chen Xingyu's Yin-Terminating Hell. Before his opponent could do anything, the altar-like spell imploded and collapsed toward a central point with apocalyptic force.

Chen Xingyu was expressionless as his hands moved and the Yin-Terminating Hell started to use a central point as a fulcrum and began to rotate.

After he converted the Yin Yang Limitless Mystic World into the Kongyuan Destructive Yin-Terminating World, Chen Xingyu unleashed the natural power of his Yin-Terminating Entity and combined it with the great mantras of the Great Void Sect and converted the Yin Yang Heaven Crushing Earth Grinding Spell into the Yin-Terminating Heaven Crushing Earth Grinding Spell before he clashed head on against Yang Tie's Great Boundaries of the Celestial Light and Darkness Mandala.

Two of the most prodigious disciples of the Divine Lands were engaged in epic battle in the midsection of Mount Baiyun inside the Small Divine Lands World.

Chen Xingyu seemed calm and without emotion and his hands were still moving and the battle raged on. However, he knew deep in his heart that he had already lost.

While the victor of the battle between him and Yang Tie was still undetermined, the Great Void Sect was already at a disadvantage against the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

They didn't have a gate to the Starry Sea, and the number of cultivators that could enter the Starry Sea was therefore limited. This was a reality, yet this couldn't cover another reality that there was an obvious gap between the standards of the younger generation of disciples.

It seemed like nothing and unassuming, but the foundations of the number-one holy ground in the Divine Lands was starting to shake and tremble.

Chapter 1014: The Hopelessness Of The Disciples From The Great Void Sect

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Even though Chen Xingyu's attention was entirely focused onto his battle with Yang Tie, he had already noticed some issues.

Mu Xuan and the other cultivators of the Great Void Sect did not follow into the midsection of the mountain behind them. Instead, cultivators from the Celestial Sect of Wonders came in and it was obvious as to what happened outside the cave entrance.

Zhou Yuncong and the others that just departed from the scene were direct disciples of the second generation from the Celestial Sect of Wonders, and were only in the aurous core stage.

Besides them, Chen Xingyu noticed that Yue Hongyan, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu were already at the feet of Mount Baiyun and they were actually first-generation disciples directly under Lin Feng.

His thoughts stopped here. Chen Xingyu was typically carefree and composed but at this point, a feeling of hopelessness surfaced from the bottom of his heart.

This forlorn feeling didn't come from his battle with Yang Tie before him, but from the overall situation of things.

He understood Guo Chaoyang even though they held different political views and he never doubted Guo Chaoyang's abilities.

As the flag-bearers of the younger generation of disciples from both the Radical Faction and the Conservative Faction of the Great Void Sect, they had fought each other multiple times before and understood each other very well.

Chen Xingyu was the disciple of the most outstanding cultivator from the previous generation, Lin Daohan, and was born with the Yin-Terminating Entity. Even though he came across perilous challenges throughout his journey of cultivation, his natural talents and his innate abilities made him one of the strongest prodigies of his generation.

Guo Chaoyang was able to hold his own against him, and the competition between the two of them reached something of an equilibrium and was nothing like the Lin Daohan's single show of the previous generation.

However, looking at the way things were turning out, no matter how powerful Guo Chaoyang was there was really nothing he could do. Unless he could ascend into the immortal soul stage from the nascent soul beginner stage in the blink of an eye, then there was still some chance in their endeavor. To put things more optimistically, he had to be in the nascent soul advanced stage at the very least.

The only problem was that if Guo Chaoyang was that powerful, Chen Xingyu would have admitted defeat a long time ago.

This was the reason why it was impossible for Chen Xingyu to maintain an optimistic outlook about the overall situation inside the Small Divine Lands World.

He glanced at Yang Tie before him and sighed inside. His battle with Yang Tie at this point meant nothing at all to him and held no value at all.

If it was Zhou Yuncong who stayed behind, at least Chen Xingyu could obtain other returns.

"Has he realized? That's not so surprising, actually. Even if he isn't aware himself, he has seniors from the Celestial Sect of Wonders behind him. In that case, the Celestial Sect of Wonders should be quite familiar with my situation…" Chen Xingyu thought to himself, "However, if I hadn't initiated the battle, based on the historical ways of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, they probably wouldn't kidnap me like the Golden Cicada Master did with Zhou Yuncong. But all those years ago…"

Chen Xingyu drew a deep breath, and his undulating emotions returned to tranquility and his usual composure.

Zhou Yuncong craved to take him on, and Chen Xingyu himself thought the same.

While it was regrettable, he gathered his energy and concentration and continued to fight on with Yang Tie.

It didn't matter whether the current situation was highly disadvantageous for the Great Void Sect and hope was out of reach. Chen Xingyu wasn't about to lose his cool and waste his time here with Yang Tie.

He gave his all, and even became more serious than he used to be as he launched another assault towards Yang Tie. If he could injure his opponent, then he would be able to add something to their hopeless situation.

However, right at this moment, Mount Baiyun trembled violently all of a sudden.

Chen Xingyu could feel the flow of spiritual energy around him started to change.

Upon sensing the transformations, Yang Tie's eyes flickered with elation while Chen Xingyu heaved another heavy sigh.

Outside Mount Baiyun and in the sky above the Small Divine Lands World, Cai Fengzhou's expression changed a little as the white cloud pillar shot into the sky and blocked off Shi Tianhao's Stone Sword.

He flicked his fingers and mana condensed onto his fingertips and transformed into streaks of cloud energy that were channeled into the white cloud pillar on Mount Baiyun below.

Even so, the white cloud pillar quivered and seemed like it was getting weaker.

This wasn't a problem with Cai Fengzhou's mana or his spell, but due to the fact that the flow of spiritual energy within the mountain changed unpredictably.

This change was minor compared to the entire Small Divine Lands World and even to Mount Baiyun. However, Cai Fengzhou's plan was entirely reliant on the flow of spiritual energy in the Small Divine Lands World being a mirror image of the Divine Lands of old, so any minute change would greatly affect his actions.

This was a good example of the butterfly effect.

Thankfully, Cai Fengzhou was a powerful cultivator with a deep understanding of his mantras and whatnot. While the flow of spiritual energy inside Mount Baiyun was changing, he made minor changes continuously so that the white cloud pillar wouldn't evaporate in an instant.

Cai Fengzhou's brows knotted together as his eyes darted between Shi Tianhao and Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar as he shook his head faintly.

He placed his palms together and started to cast another spell. The cloud energy in the void beside him churned as a sprawling city that flashed with golden light shimmered between the clouds. It materialized instantaneously, as the city walls came up to form a giant city that embodied the concepts of eternal existence and unwavering stability that was infinitely resistant to decay.

The Horizon City of the Great Void Nine Heavenly Spells!

Streaks of black and white mana intertwined beside Cai Fengzhou and formed an enormous whirlpool that swirled continuously – it was his Yin Yang Revolution Dao Fruit.

The Yin Yang Revolution Dao Fruit was incorporated into the Horizon City and the impenetrable fortress in the sky started to twist out of proportion and no longer retained its original shape.

Yet, that feeling of eternal existence and unwavering stability only became stronger. The Yin Yang energies that were injected into it appeared boundless to forever and ever.

The Horizon City was designed as a defensive spell, but it started to move and crashed towards Shi Tianhao and Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar.

The whirlpool that was still spiraling in the sky locked Shi Tianhao and Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar inside, as if it was about to suck them both into the maelstrom.

Shi Tianhao gripped onto the Stone Sword as the radiant speck of light on the sword tip flickered ever so bright. The smile on his face was wiped away, but it wasn't solemn and instead portrayed a feeling of extreme composure and calmness.

He repositioned the sword and thrusted it towards Horizon City in the sky.

However, this attack caused spiritual energy in the Small Divine Lands World formed by the Crucible to quiver along with it.

It wasn't due to the strength and power of this strike. The reason was because of the intensity of the sword mind as it contained a terrifying concept of power.

It felt as if all things fell into a state of decadence and continued on until the entire world became extinct.

The Stone Sword slashed out and appeared to direct a feel strands of spiritual energy as it lunged towards the Horizon City.

Cai Fengzhou's eyes closed into slits. "Savage Energy! This… is the swordplay of the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, but seems entirely different!"

The ferocious energy directed by Shi Tianhao's sword mind was the Heaven and Earth Savage Energy!

Merciless Energy was considered part of the way of the world, but was also its natural enemy.

All things in the world were bound to die at some point. If spiritual energies were strong, then all beings would flourish and continue on a path towards glory and development. However, if this savage energy was too strong, then all beings would descend into decadence and the world would eventually come to an end.

Due to the channeling of the Heaven and Earth Savage Energy, the entire flow of the spiritual energy in the Small Divine Lands World were affected and started to change.

Shi Tianhao's strike came from his own understanding of the mantras. He sought inspiration from Lin Feng's Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi and incorporated the principles of his Final Holy Light.

The final point of existence of all beings, and everything that it touched would be interrupted and ended prematurely with a full-stop forced upon them.

Shi Tianhao's strike seemed like it could slash open everything, like it could hang a full-stop on anything obstructing its way till it reached its final destination.

Wherever the tip of the sword touched, time appeared to stop and all sounds were lost, all colors grew dim and even the rolling winds ceased to billow.

All the liveliness in the world were frozen in place. It didn't matter if they were willing to comply, or if their lives were meant for something else, as everything that came into contact with the tip of Shi Tianhao's sword entered the path to the final destination and were annihilated from the face of the earth.

A single bright star was touched by Shi Tianhao's sword, and immediately grew dull and exploded into a supernova.

Cai Fengzhou's Horizon City, under the support of his Yin Yang Revolution Dao Fruit, possessed vast power as it continued to oscillate and appeared like it was about to consume the entire world and suck everything around it within.

However, as it was slashed by Shi Tianhao's sword, the spinning slowed down and the speed of rotation continued to stagnate as it grew increasingly sluggish.

Shi Tianhao's expression as calm as he held his longsword against Cai Fengzhou's Horizon City. The gargantuan city was huge and the physical size of both entities couldn't even be compared on the same scale.

The light on the tip of Shi Tianhao's sword burned bright as streaks of Savage Energy continued to condense on the sword tip in its resistance against the Horizon City.

At the same time, the flow of spiritual energy on Mount Baiyun below changed even more as it sped up and slowed down with an unpredictable rhythm. Due to the fact that Mount Baiyun was the focal point of all spiritual energy inside the Small Divine Lands World, the change inside Mount Baiyun caused the flow of spiritual energy inside the entire Small Divine Lands World to change along with it.

While the transformations were small, they were very real.

Shi Tianhao continued to channel the Heaven and Earth Savage Energy, and even though it was just a feel tiny strands, it was enough to unbalance the entire flow of spiritual energy in this area of the world.

Destruction was a lot easier than building up. At this point, even a third-level immortal soul stage cultivator like Cai Fengzhou from the Great Void Sect was unable to grasp the change in the flow of spiritual energy.

The giant cloud pillar that extended from Mount Baiyun like a stalagmite could no longer be sustained and started to crumble.

Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar glanced at Cai Fengzhou but said nothing more as he flew down towards Mount Baiyun.

Cai Fengzhou frowned as the Auspicious Cloud Pillar surged into the sky once again and slammed towards the Great Sun Avatar. Shi Tianhao's voice rang out as he said, "Rise!"

Before his voice dropped, three spheres of light flickered on the top of his head. One of the spheres of light transformed into a gigantic green-black hall, and didn't appear to be that much smaller than Cai Fengzhou's Horizon City. Even though it was only a gestation-level magic treasure, the ripples of power contained within were tremendous and formidable.

The second sphere of light became a purple crown that crackled with radiant lightning bolts. Streaks of purple lightning surged around like furious dragons and deluged in the clouds above.

The third light sphere dissipated and revealed a small and ancient bell. This bell was made completely from gold and was extremely old-school. There were mystical patterns carved all over it and vast immense energy flowed out from within – it was the metaplasia-level magic item, the Yellow Heaven Bell.

The appearance of the Kun Peng Pavilion, the Yellow Heaven Bell and the Purple Crown of Angmao at the same time meant that even though it was Cai Fengzhou himself channeling the Auspicious Cloud Pillar, he had to focus all his energy on Shi Tianhao and could no longer intercept Zhu Yi.

At this point, Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar stepped onto Mount Baiyun and not a single chance was given at all.

Chapter 1015: The Cycle Of Collapse

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

As he watched Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar descend onto Mount Baiyun, Cai Fengzhou couldn't help himself as he heaved a heavy sigh into the sky.

At this point, the situation was completely out of the hands of the Great Void Sect.

Even though it wasn't Zhu Yi's original body inside the Small Divine Lands World and was only an avatar, Cai Fengzhou knew that Chen Xingyu and the others were no match for him.

The Great Sun Avatar vanished into the cave entrance projected at the top of mountain. All this happened so quickly that Mu Xuan, Shan Xiang, Ding Runfeng and the others couldn't even react.

However, a chilly feeling ran up their spines as they felt as if something terrible was about to happen. They were already frustrated, and this made them even more embittered.

In the next moment, Mount Baiyun trembled once vigorously.

The force of this was far greater than before. If what came before was only a slight shudder, then Mount Baiyun and the areas around it just experienced a real earthquake.

Cai Fengzhou had the best understanding of the flow of spiritual energy in the Small Divine Lands World, and his perception of what was going on was the most acute as well.

Translucent streams of purple energy started to surround Mount Baiyun as sounds of someone chanting a book rang out with ear-splitting loudness.

Shi Tianhao was still in his standoff against Cai Fengzhou, and the radiance on the tip of the Stone Sword became brighter and brighter. The Horizon City rotating in the sky was gradually coming to a stop.

He smiled faintly and said, "Do you wish to continue?"

Cai Fengzhou's expression was inscrutable but he felt the dreadful bitterness in his heart. He hadn't lost the battle, and the victor between his scuffle with Shi Tianhao was still unclear. However, there was no meaning in continuing on as he could already foresee how things were going to unfold.

Purple energy encircled Mount Baiyun as a light pillar surged into the sky and pierced right through the heavens above.

Rays of light permeated outward in all directions and resembled independent pathways.

On the ground, with Mount Baiyun as the central point, pathways that flashed with light began to appear at the same time. Large volumes of air could be seen rushing through these radiating pathways.

"The Veins of Heaven and Earth…" Shan Xiang, Ding Runfeng and the others came from the Great Void Sect and they were relatively knowledgeable. However, what weighed down their hearts was the fact that the light patterns formed by the Veins of Heaven and Earth was starting to change with a speed visible to the naked eye.

The degree of change wasn't very big, but everything was really happening.

For Shan Xiang and the others, this wasn't something they wanted to see. As the direct disciples of the Great Void Sect, they understood the situation of Mount Baiyun in the Divine Lands all those years ago very well, and knew that if the flow of spiritual energy in the Small Divine Lands World remained unchanged, it was beneficial for the Great Void Sect.

Complicated light patterns lit up between Heaven and Earth as the entire Small Divine Lands World trembled.

The disciples from the Great Void Sect were crestfallen. "Are the cultivators from the Celestial Sect of Wonders going to assimilate the Crucible of the Divine Lands?"

"How can it be that easy?" A frail and weak voice came out from the Six Appearances Sword. "The flow of spiritual energy in the Small Divine Lands World has been affected, but they are still far from establishing communication with the original soul of this destiny-level magic treasure. They are far from assimilating the entire magic treasure."

Despite his words, the voice of the Six Appearances Sword was solemn and it was fairly obvious there was a tinge of sullenness in his voice as well.

He knew very well that Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar was still quite a distance away from assimilating the Crucible of the Divine Lands. However, the things that he was about to do inside the inner regions of the Crucible of the Divine Lands could lead to severe consequences.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Xuan Lin Holy Man were outside. However, Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar, his Avatar of Ares and Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar were outside as well.

The Small Divine Lands World had been relatively quiet all this while, and this meant that the competition between the two forces were at an impasse. The expedition of their respective disciples into Mount Baiyun also presented several problems.

The situation inside Mount Baiyun was bound to affect the contest between the two elders outside the Crucible of the Divine Lands.

At this moment, outside the Small Divine Lands World, Lin Feng's Avatar of Ares had one hand on the Small Divine Lands World while his other hand pointed toward the Two Elements of Creation Formation in the sky.

The Two Elements of Creation Formation stretched out explosively as Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar let go of his claws and burst in front of the Zheng Yi Holy Man.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man's brows creased as he watched the purple energy inside the Small Divine Lands World grow thicker, and the white energies were being gradually pushed back.

The initial equilibrium between the two parties was starting to lose its balance, and the unfortunate thing was that the Great Void Sect was on the losing end.

"Something's happening in the Small Divine Lands World. Something's happened on Mount Baiyun…" The Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Xuan Lin Holy Man immediately realized what happened.

A thousand miles of embankment could be ruined by a single ant nest.

The gap became bigger and bigger from a single misstep till the point of no return, till it was impossible to reverse the situation.

At this point, the rift in standards between the younger generation of disciples caused this unbalance in the overall situation, and even affected the outcome of the battle between Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao and Cai Fengzhou.

Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar was a step ahead of Cai Fengzhou in entering the mountain and stole the initiative, thus he was able to cooperate with Lin Feng from the inside.

The final outcome was that the contest between Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man lost its balance as well, and the impasse had been broken – Lin Feng had taken the initiative in assimilating the Crucible of the Divine Lands.

Every bit of failure added up and created a chain reaction with substantially severe consequences.

Inside the Small Divine Lands World, Cai Fengzhou, Chen Xingyu and Guo Chaoyang and the rest were still working hard.

They were very clear about the delicateness of the situation. Even though pessimism surfaced in their hearts, they still tried their best to turn the tables around.

Otherwise, the snowball was about to get bigger as it rolled down the slope and everything would be reflected on the battle between the elders at the highest level of this contest, and all the pressure would land upon the shoulders of the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Xuan Lin Holy Man.

Outside the Small Divine Lands World, the Xuan Lin Holy Man took a deep breath. "Perhaps Junior Cai was unable to defeat Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao, or perhaps something else happened?" Thoughts spun around in his head but his movement was as fast as ever as he rushed towards the Small Divine Lands World.

Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar gave no quarter as it pounced to intercept the Xuan Lin Holy Man.

The Cang Heaven Spell Blade didn't follow Shi Tianhao into the Small Divine Lands World, and teamed up with Wang Lin against the Xuan Lin Holy Man.

If his opponent was just Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar, the Xuan Lin Holy Man had enough confidence to defeat his adversary. However, the addition of the Cang Heaven Spell Blade made things very different.

This magic item had existed since the Antiquity Age, and was already in the Mahayana level and possessed immense power. It was also a sharp and aggressive weapon and even the Xuan Lin Holy Man didn't dare to underestimate its existence.

It was hard to say whether the Xuan Lin Holy Man was able to defeat the alliance between the Cang Heaven Spell Blade and Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar. Even if he could, it would take a long time before victory could be determined.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man gripped onto the Small Divine Lands World while he raised his other hand upwards. The Great Void Holy Pavilion shimmered above his palm and crashed against the Two Elements of Creation Formation.

During the battle of Xiling City, the Great Void Holy Pavilion had come into direct contact with the Two Elements of Creation Formation before. The outcome of the battle was that the Great Void Holy Pavilion ruthless tore apart the layers of light formed by the power of the Endless Extremes of the Two Elements of Creation Formation.

This time, the Great Void Pavilion slammed against the Two Elements of Creation Formation once more – except the latter gave no quarter at all and held its own against the Great Void Holy Pavilion.

The giant holy pavilion was like a resting place for the Gods in the Heavens, and gave an aura as if it could contain the entire Starry Sea and the void space around it. Lights flashed incessantly within it, and songs and chants could be heard as well.

However, the world of light formed by the Two Elements of Creation Formation interrupted its progress and there was no way the Great Void Holy Pavilion could proceed.

The divine light from the Great Void Holy Pavilion touched everything and it felt like the universe above was its backyard. However, the Two Elements of Creation Formation threw down a fence in the middle of it all and separated the entire area into two.

"It's very different from back in Xiling City." Lin Feng's voice was casual.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man observed the center of the Two Elements of Creation Formation and watched the forty-nine light dots that glimmered within. His eyes squinted a little before they returned normal as he said, "It is indeed different."

With that, the hand that was holding up the Great Void Holy Pavilion moved as he started to cast another spell. White clouds concentrated as golden lights flashed between them. There appeared to be uncountable human figures who were chanting the same song together between the flickering lights and the layers of white clouds.

A tiny world appeared on the palm of the Zheng Yi Holy Man – this world permeated with saintly songs that continued for all eternity as if the entire world was a celestial paradise, as if this was the promised land.

The Great Void Nine Heavenly Spells, the Eight Heavens of the Great Void – the Shen Heaven Holy Paradise!

The concept of power of the Shen Heaven Holy Paradise was complementary to that of the Great Void Holy Pavilion. Suddenly, the Great Void Holy Pavilion experienced a riling change and unleashed the Great Void Holy Paradise. It grew together with the strength of the Zheng Yi Holy Man as it crashed toward the Two Elements of Creation Formation once again.

Lin Feng's Two Elements of Creation Formation had his forty-nine Two Elements Micro-Dust as the core of the formation and this led to a vast increase in its power. This was quite clear as it was now able to hold its own against the Great Void Holy Pavilion, which was a destiny-level magic treasure.

However, the channeling of the Great Void Holy Pavilion by Kuang Heng and the Xuan Lin Holy Man was very different from when it was being channeled by the Zheng Yi Holy Man.

Lin Feng's Avatar of Ares' expression remained the same as it continued to direct the Two Elements of Creation Formation while it exerted pressure on the Small Divine Lands World.

His Thunder Dragon Avatar grinned and said, "It's different now."

With that, the colossal white-colored thunder dragon crackled with blinding lightning as the vastness of the world flickered in his eyes.

His giant physical body was transiting between virtual and reality – it was a physical dragon body that was bursting with demonic powers in one moment, and transformed into layers of light shadows in the next. It was very similar to second-level immortal soul stage cultivators and their Virtual Entity.

In the next moment, the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell enveloped the Zheng Yi Holy Man.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man's pupils contracted as he watched this scene. He combined his powers with the Great Void Holy Pavilion and attempted to break through the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell, but the Avatar of Ares directed the Two Elements of Creation Formation and threw it back at the Zheng Yi Holy Man at the same time, and swept up the Great Void Holy Pavilion and the Great Void Holy Paradise.

Both parties ended up in yet another impasse.

However, due to the effects of the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell, the Zheng Yi Holy Man's connection to the Small Divine Lands World was cut off.

Purple light flashed once in the eyes of the Avatar of Ares as the Small Divine Lands World quickly turned purple and the white cloud energies were forced back wave after wave.

A light that was never before seen in the eyes of the Zheng Yi Holy Man lit up. His gaze oscillated between the Thunder Dragon Avatar and the Avatar of Ares as the aura around his body grew ominously dangerous.

Lin Feng watched him and smiled faintly, "What, you wish to use the Power-Destroying Catastrophe to force my original body here?"

Chapter 1016: Do You Need My Original Body To Be Here?

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng was calm and composed. "Do you need my original body to be here?"

The Zheng Yi Holy Man said nothing as he stared into Lin Feng's eyes. There was a momentous instant where he did think about channeling the Power-Destroying Catastrophe.

Some cultivators in the Cardinal Tribulations Beginning Stage, when faced with Vipralopa Stage cultivators, could perhaps hold their own by virtue of their spells and mana. However, if a change was given to the Vipralopa Stage cultivator to channel the Power-Destroying Catastrophe, the results were often disastrous.

For cultivators who had yet to finish the Alpha Tribulations, resisting against a Power-Destroying Catastrophe from a Vipralopa Stage cultivator was no different from experiencing a new round of tribulations on the spot and would immediately enter a state of weakness – they would become a helpless goat, and even their standards would be greatly compromised.

If something went wrong, he or she could even perish under the duress of the Decay Tribulations.

For cultivators who had never experienced the tribulations before, when they were faced with Vipralopa Stage cultivators, and if they were unable to avoid the Power-Destroying Catastrophe altogether, they would be in an even more perilous situation. It was also possible that they were killed on the spot as Vipralopa Stage cultivators were willing to risk a single stroke of the Decay Tribulations.

Even though this method was clean and swift, there were severe consequences and most Vipralopa Stage cultivators would never resort to this method if they were able to suppress their opponents with their own spells and mana.

In the end, it was a spell that hurt both parties at the same time. The person channeling it had to use his own strength to resist the Power-Destroying Catastrophe and survive through the Decay Tribulations and would inadvertently hurt himself or herself in the process. It was easy for a third party to enter the fray and take advantage of them both, which meant this method was a last resort of last resorts.

Of course, if the situation did call for it, the Zheng Yi Holy Man was prepared to make this decision. He couldn't be bothered to worry so much, and Lin Feng positive that this was true.

The Thunder Dragon Avatar had displayed its true form. It had the power to resist the Zheng Yi Holy Man, while the Two Elements of Creation Formation was enough to hold its own against the Great Void Holy Pavilion. Under the combined efforts of both parties, all they had to do was use the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell to disrupt the connection between the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Great Void Holy Pavilion.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Great Void Pavilion were ultimately two different entities and their connection could not be compared to that of Vipralopa Stage great demons' true form and their demonic soul.

However, the situation would be very different if he were to channel the Power-Destroying Catastrophe.

Whether it was the Zheng Yi Holy Man or the Great Void Holy Pavilion resisting the first stroke of the Power-Destroying Catastrophe, they were bound to be injured and their powers would weaken. While they could continue fighting, and concentrate their powers after the battle and slowly recuperate the damage from the Decay Tribulations.

Taking a hit from the Power-Destroying Catastrophe was well within the boundaries of the Zheng Yi Holy Man.

On the other hand, if Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon avatar and his Avatar of Ares suffered a stroke of the Power-Destroying Catastrophe, it was very likely that they would just crumble and disappear from the face of the earth.

The Great Void Holy Pavilion could help Kuang Heng and the Xuan Lin Holy Man resist the Power-Destroying Catastrophe, but the Two Elements of Creation Formation was a magic formation and it wasn't possible for it to defend Lin Feng against the Power-Destroying Catastrophe.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man stared at Lin Feng as the rolling purple energy continued to permeate throughout the entire Small Divine Lands World and his brows furrowed ever so tightly.

For him, using the Power-Destroying Catastrophe wasn't optimal as the Great Void Sect didn't have a gate to the Starry Sea of their own. They lacked reinforcements, and if they were plagued by the Decay Tribulations, the subsequent circumstances would be even more difficult to control.

If channeling the Power-Destroying Catastrophe was effective, the Zheng Yi Holy Man wouldn't hesitate at all.

Still, there were some doubts in his heart as Lin Feng's Celestial Sect Teleportation Technique was very well known in the world by now.

He wasn't sure whether both of Lin Feng's avatars were able to cast this spell. If both the Thunder Dragon Avatar and the Avatar of Ares were adept with this spell, then there would no longer be any meaning in channeling the Power-Destroying Catastrophe as he would only weaken himself.

Furthermore, the most important point was that Lin Feng controlled a gate to the Starry Sea and his original body could come in at any time.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man didn't know the reason why Lin Feng's original body wouldn't enter the Starry Sea but he could guess that it was probably because he was busy with something else, or temporarily held back by a pressing issue.

Forcing Lin Feng's original body into the Starry Sea could possibly disrupt whatever he was working on, but this wasn't anything of value to the people from the Great Void Sect and was a purely sadistic move with no practical benefit.

Even though thinking about these realities generated despondence in people's hearts, the Zheng Yi Holy Man wasn't afraid of facing them.

Before this, the contest for the Crucible of the Divine Lands was in suspense mainly because Lin Feng's original body wasn't here.

If Lin Feng's original body was inside the Starry Sea, and under the circumstance that the other elders of the Great Void Sect were unable to provide reinforcements, there would be no competition at all for the control of the Crucible of the Divine Lands.

Even if they dragged the Supreme Heavenly Mirror into the Starry Sea, it would be affected by the dimensional powers and its power would be greatly reduced and could even prolong the time it needed to fully recover.

In the end, the best outcome that could be achieved by the Great Void Sect was that they could possibly force Lin Feng to break the seal he placed on the Heaven-Destroying Sword, and even then, their chances were slim.

Everything were purely actions that harmed others without benefiting themselves. More accurately put, they were actually harming themselves at the same time in the process – if Lin Feng was forced to remove the seal on the Heaven-Destroying Sword prematurely, it wouldn't return empty-handed.

Right now, both parties were contesting for the Crucible of the Divine Lands. While the magic item was still without an owner and the contest relied purely on their own abilities as well as any opportunities that would surface in the process, and ab it of luck.

However, anything that was taken too far would lead to a real violent conflict between the two parties, and would change the situation in the Starry Sea into a showdown to the death.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man was never one to shy away from a fight, but he was concerned about the results of any battle.

At this point, the power of the two parties couldn't even be compared on the same scale anymore. If Lin Feng was willing, he could even drag the entire Celestial Sect of Wonders from the Divine Lands into the Ancient Desolate Galaxy.

The knot in the eyebrows of the Zheng Yi Holy Man gradually loosened and the sparkle in his lies died down as well. His expression returned to normal, but his eyes were gloomier and sterner.

"The Heaven-Destroying Sword…" Even though his heart was calm, this thought still recurred in the mind of the Zheng Yi Holy Man.

Over five thousand years ago in the Greater World, ever since his escape from the Spirit Sea, the Zheng Yi Holy Man had considered teaming up with the Qing Yi Holy Woman, the Xuan Yi Holy Man and even the Tai Yi Holy Man to suppress and control Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

However, Lin Feng's powers skyrocketed and the battle of Mount Shu and the Saintly Celestial Cataclysm completed the Heaven-Destroying Sword.

The final outcome was that they no longer had the power to do anything much.

"If the Crucible of the Divine Lands ends up in the hands of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the situation will take a turn for the worse and it will confirm Junior Qing Yi's words – we should have pushed forward the original plan." The Zheng Yi Holy Man continued to contemplate.

Ideas were floating around in his head but his movement wasn't hindered at all. He dispelled the notion of using the Power-Destroying Catastrophe, and simply relied on his own spells and mana to raise the power of the Shen Heaven Holy Paradise in juxtaposition with the Great Void Holy Paradise formed by the Great Void Holy Pavilion.

"This spell that he's using against a human magic treasure seems to be more effective than it is against demons… This spell deserves to be emphasized. Besides the hidden profundities and its sophistication, its workings seem to specifically target the Great Void Holy Pavilion. It feels like this spell intends to separate the Great Void Holy Pavilion back into the Formation-Bursting Drum and the Void Yin-Yang Bell."

The Zheng Yi Holy Man's face remained expressionless as his hands continued to apply force. While he was stabilizing the Great Void Holy Pavilion, he attempted to break open Lin Feng's Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell at the same time with mystical spells of his own. He dragged the Great Void Holy Pavilion, stepped out and explosively repelled the light rays from the Two Elements of Creation Formation.

"I need to end this battle fast," The Zheng Yi Holy Man thought to himself as blurry rays of light were released from his body. They were translucent and phased between reality and the virtual world.

These rays of light weren't that bright and neither were they vast or intimidating. However, their profundities and their mystical qualities were inexplicable, as if they could accomplish anything.

Inside the Small Divine Lands World, the purple energies had completely suppressed the white energies.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man remained expressionless as he latched his other hand onto the Small Divine Lands World. However, the inner regions of the Small Divine Lands World shuddered.

A small area of the small world receded and reverted to the original form of the Crucible of the Divine Lands.

"Boom!" A loud bang could be heard from the top of the Crucible's body as ripples that were clear to the naked eye expanded outward in all directions.

The Xuan Lin Holy Man, the Cang Heaven Spell Blade and Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar were on the outside and their expressions grew serious as they witnessed these ripples and raised their guards at the same time.

Both Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man stared at the Crucible of the Divine Lands as they could very clearly feel that there was a great willpower rising out from the Crucible of the Divine Lands.

It wasn't something material, yet it wasn't completely abstract and intangible as well. It had an existence where people just knew it was there. At the same time, the vastness and strength of its existence could not be underestimated.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man suddenly felt a quiver in the hand that he had on the Crucible of the Divine Lands.

It was obvious that the Crucible of the Divine Lands was subtly rejecting him. While this rejection wasn't that strong, it was fairly conspicuous and didn't give anybody any reasonable doubt.

In the next moment, another scene appeared in the minds of both Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man.

An individual clad in a dragon robe stood between heaven and earth. He had a royal crown on his head, but his features were unclear.

This wasn't the original soul of the Crucible, but the powerful cultivator that forged it all those years ago, Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia was watching the far end of the horizon, where a battle raged and rippled.

A few nascent soul stage cultivators besieged and killed a demonic lord stage demon, and were quickly hunted down and killed in return by a great demon in the undying demonic soul stage.

In the next moment, this undying demon soul stage demon was intercepted by a powerful human cultivator in the immortal soul stage and both parties were currently engaged in a bloody battle.

In the end, the human cultivator prevailed by virtue of his talents and even though he sustained heavy injuries, he managed to defeat and kill his opponent.

The only thing was, before he could enjoy the fruits of his victory and before he could think about retreating and treating his injuries elsewhere, a roaring and charging Fengxi, whose body flared with purple-blue demonic fire, lunged towards him and instantly shattered his immortal soul!

All this happened at practically the same time as a third-level immortal soul stage cultivator descended from the sky and knocked over the flaming boar. The giant physical body of the pig rolled through the skies and turned the immediate area into an ocean of fire.

Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man squinted a little as they witnessed this powerful physical cultivator.

This was the same cultivator that they saw previously in the light shadows projected by the Crucible off the Divine Lands, the powerful physical cultivator from the Great Spirit Sect of the Antiquity Age.

He stepped forward toward the Fengxi, but another Heavenly Demon Ape pounced toward him.

Lin Feng watched on. "This was the sequel to the set of images presented to us previously."

He turned toward Emperor Xia. Emperor Xia was observing the battle in the distance, and in the end the Heavenly Demon Ape and the Great Spirit Sect cultivator would engage in epic battle while the Bastille Black Dragon and the great Buddhist cultivator would lock horns, and eventually Emperor Xia would arrive to trap and incinerate both great demons.

However, perhaps it was because there wasn't any attempt to mask his injuries, Lin Feng could faintly feel a tinge of weakness and frailty coming from Emperor Xia who was still hidden from sight.

Even though the aura around his body was stable and there wasn't a single loophole to be seen, both Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man could clearly feel that Emperor Xia had already been injured by someone.

Emperor Xia stood in the void in silence for a long time before he heaved a long and drawn-out sigh that was unknown to everyone but Emperor Xia himself and the Crucible of the Divine Lands.

Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man were able to understand what Emperor Xia was distressed about through the projections from the Crucible of the Divine Lands.

"Never-ending retribution, and nobody knows who's right and who's wrong. If I have something to lose, then I will never escape this vicious cycle."

Chapter 1017: Blown Into Smithereens!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng scrutinized the light projection of Emperor Xia and studied his injury.

Under this circumstance, unlike when he was still alive, he wasn't too particular about masking or covering anything up and there was a lot of information to be obtained.

The new information was a little surprising from Lin Feng's perspective.

Lin Feng watched on as Emperor Xia's eyes sparkled and he straightened his back. The infirmity and feebleness from before vanished entirely and he regained the impenetrable aura of a supreme emperor as he grabbed the Crucible of the Divine Lands and flew towards the battleground in the distance.

Over there, the powerful Buddhist cultivator had just contained the Bastille Black Dragon inside his Nirvana World Palm.

The light projections ended there, as what happened afterwards had already been reflected by the series of images projected before.

Lin Feng blinked a few times as he raised his eyes toward the Zheng Yi Holy Man and noticed that the latter was also looking at him.

Mystical lights continued to flicker around the Zheng Yi Holy Man's body, but Lin Feng completely disregarded them and continued using the Avatar of Ares to channel his mana into the Crucible of the Divine Lands. On the inside, within the core of the Crucible of the Divine Lands, Zhu Yi was also putting in effort to coordinate with Lin Feng on the outside.

The Crucible of the Divine Lands buzzed as the trembling became increasingly vigorous. That intense willpower became even more discernible, and the sense of rejection against the Zheng Yi Holy Man grew stronger as it felt the mystical light around his body.

The top of the giant crucible erupted with dense light that was blinding to the eye, yet appeared incredibly thick and weighty.

Mountains and rivers, snow plains and vast deserts amongst other geographical scenes flashed by and glimmered within the rays of light. The boundlessness of the world was embodied, and it felt as if the entire Divine Lands blasted forward.

This light clashed with the mystical light rays circling the Zheng Yi Holy Man's body. The Zheng Yi Holy Man reached out to stop the Crucible of the Divine Lands while the Great Void Holy Pavilion pressurized the Crucible from the top.

However, Lin Feng was not about to sit back and watch as the Avatar of Ares directed the Two Elements of Creation Formation and channeled the change of the Polar Reversal as it wrapped around the Great Void Holy Pavilion once again.

The Thunder Dragon Avatar channeled the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell once more as the spell covered the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Great Void Holy Pavilion.

The power of heaven and earth followed the movements of this mystical world as streaks of mana cut down toward the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Great Void Holy Pavilion.

The Great Void Holy Pavilion started to tremble.

"Eh?" The Zheng Yi Holy Man shook his head lightly. The combination of the Formation-Bursting Drum and the Void Yin-Yang bell was only a temporary endeavor, and once they were dissolved back into their original forms they couldn't be pieced together immediately after.

When the Great Void Holy Pavilion wasn't engaged in battle, the Zheng Yi Holy Man used his immortal soul to nurture the magic item and ensured that the Great Void Holy Pavilion could continue to exist. However, using it repeatedly to battle beyond the stipulated shelf life or if the magic item was damaged, it would separate back into its components.

Unless it was severely damaged, the shelf life of the Great Void Holy Pavilion was pretty much fixed and this duration wouldn't be affected by pressure from the battle. Yet, everything had an exception and the Great Void Holy Pavilion encountered such an exception today – in the long years of its existence, and never before seen in the Grand Celestial World until five thousand years ago when Lin Feng first invented the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell.

The continuous resistance against the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell caused the Great Void Holy Pavilion to destabilize and its lifespan was drastically shortened – it felt like it was about to fall apart at any moment.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man's eyebrows tied into a knot. However, he refused to let go of the Crucible of the Divine Lands. Between the flashes of the mystical light, Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar and the Crucible of the Divine Lands shuddered before the vast layers of light from the Crucible of the Divine Lands turned around and bore down on the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell.

Even Lin Feng's Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell had that moment of unbalance.

"The Chang Heaven Great Void Celestial Light!" Lin Feng's eyes sparkled as the Thunder Dragon roared into the sky and stretched out his right claw ferociously and slashed down toward the Zheng Yi Holy Man.

The claw of the thunder dragon initially flickered with four-colored lightning, but the silver-white dragon claw abruptly turned golden with the four-colored lightning streaks still circling it as it slashed down upon the layers of light surrounding the Zheng Yi Holy Man. The Zheng Yi Holy Man's face remained unchanged as the flickering of lights around him was unpredictable and inexplicable, and its sophistication was at a highest possible level.

The mystical light flashed once and the Thunder Dragon Avatar's claw ended up slashing toward the Crucible of the Divine Lands!

There was a revelation in Lin Feng's mind. He was slightly taken aback and harbored his own doubts but reconciled with his suspicions in the end as he chuckled, "So this is the Chang Heaven Great Void Celestial Light…"

On top of Mount Yujing, Lin Feng's original body laughed faintly as well and muttered, "That's a fantastic coincidence. The mantras of the world are indeed baffling and mystical."

The Thunder Dragon Avatar howled as his entire body dissipated into light shadows, and subsequently phased to and from the physical dragon form and the light shadows.

At this point, the stars in the Ancient Desolate Galaxy sparkled incessantly as the countless stars in the sky appeared to be triggered by an unknown power. The stars that had been existing in the universe for all of eternity started to change.

It wasn't just the stars in the Starry Sea – it felt as if the stars above the entire Greater World began to quiver.

The trails of the eternal stars in the sky and the incredible power of their movement became unstable as something was about to happen.

Every change was miniscule and discreet, but the foundations were comparatively substantial and every tiny change led to a drastic and world-changing transformation.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man could naturally feel this transformation. He could feel that the immense power projected from this massive transformation was charged onto Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar.

The giant form of the Thunder Dragon twisted in the sky, and the Zheng Yi Holy Man suddenly realized that the golden claw that was redirected toward the Crucible of the Divine Lands was slashing at him and the Great Void Holy Pavilion once more.

The Crucible of the Divine Lands, which was supposed to be slamming against the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World, abruptly switched directions and crashed toward the Great Void Holy Pavilion instead. The Two Elements of Creation Formation, which was holding off against the Great Void Holy Pavilion, changed targets as well and came straight for the Zheng Yi Holy Man.

The Two Elements of Creation Formation expanded explosively and directed the changes of the Polar Reversal and followed the dragon claw as it slashed down toward the Zheng Yi Holy Man.

The Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell contracted in the blink of an eye and instantly severed the connection between the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Great Void Holy Pavilion, while the Crucible of the Divine Lands clashed head-on with the Great Void Holy Pavilion!

The Crucible of the Divine Lands appeared to have been triggered by the use of the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light by the Zheng Yi Holy Man, and the Crucible was already subtly antagonistic toward the Zheng Yi Holy Man from the start. Its powers grew exponentially as the layers of light that reflected the image of the world materialized on the body of the Crucible.

A giant crucible appeared to transform into the entire Divine Lands as it crashed heavily onto the body of the Great Void Holy Pavilion!

In normal times, the Great Void Holy Pavilion would have been able to take this hit. However, it had already resisted two consecutive blows from the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell and was destabilized as result. Faced with the sharp pressure from the Crucible of the Divine Lands in its weakened state, the Great Void Holy Pavilion was blown into smithereens!

Layers and layers of white cloud energy permeated the entire area and blanketed the heavens. Rays of golden light peeked through the disorganized white clouds as they shot out in all directions; it resembled a shower of shooting stars in the Starry Sea.

The golden lights condensed as the clouds folded and undulated – the Formation Bursting Drum and the Void Yin-Yang Bell reappeared in the sky as the Drum Fairy and the Yin-Yang Elder shimmered in the void as the two of them stared straight at the Crucible of the Divine Lands.

The Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light radiated around the Zheng Yi Holy Man's body. Under the effects of these lights, Lin Feng's Two Elements of Creation Formation was redirected toward the Thunder Dragon Avatar while the dragon claw from the Thunder Dragon slashed toward the Crucible of the Divine Lands yet again.

Lin Feng grinned and thought to himself, "Even though the effects on strength can be countered, it can't be sustained like the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light, and it can't continue to take effect."

"More work is required to perfect this new spell."

While thoughts spun around in his head, the Thunder Dragon Avatar surged with immense power again while the mystical light around the Zheng Yi Holy Man grew dim for a second.

"Eh?" The Zheng Yi Holy Man's pupils contracted a little as he continued to channel the Cheng Heaven Great Void Divine Light. Lin Feng's Two Elements of Creation Formation had a new target, and formidable power bore down from the top of the Zheng Yi Holy Man's head with a force that resembled an entire independent world.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man raised his hands and white clouds concentrated in the middle of his palms and transformed into a towering peak that was as wide as the heavens and as dense the earth. This conjured mountain felt like an entire world by itself!

The moment this looming mountain took its form, it clashed violently with the Two Elements of Creation Formation. The Two Elements of Creation Formation was forced backwards, but a crack appeared at the top of the mountain peak and started to crumble.

Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar's tail whipped up streaks of Four Appearances Two Elements Divine Thunder, and a single swing seemed like it had the force to knock over the entire world and instantly smashed the mountain into pieces.

Its right claw slashed forward with lightning speed and cut on the right shoulder of the Zheng Yi Holy Man and left a bloody five-fingered scar.

The essence of Dao resembled golden-colored blood as it oozed out from the wound and the Zheng Yi Holy Man retreated immediately. His left hand tapped on the surface of the Formation Bursting Drum and released a golden light wave that shook the entire Two Elements of Creation Formation.

In the next moment, the Zheng Yi Holy Man flicked a finger and a single streak of white cloud energy landed upon the Void Yin-Yang Bell. The bell swept him along with the two magic items, and phased through space to place a considerable distance between the Thunder Dragon Avatar and the Crucible of the Divine Lands and himself.

The Thunder Dragon Avatar didn't pursue his retreat and instead remained on the spot to pacify its flaring demonic energy. The Two Elements of Creation Formation returned to the top of the Avatar of Ares' head and both avatars returned to the side of the Crucible of the Divine Lands.

Lin Feng placed his hands upon the Crucible as the purple energy continued to roll inside and completely dispelled the remaining white energy.

Beside them, Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade was still locking horns with the Xuan Lin Holy Man. The typically plain eyes of the Xuan Lin Holy Man betrayed a tinge of astonishment at this point.

"What exactly happened with the sudden explosion of energy from the dragon avatar?" The Xuan Lin Holy Man took a deep breath. "Even though it's only a temporary thing, it seems to counter the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light on a fundamental level!'

The Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light was the final spell of the Great Void Nine Heavenly Spells, and was extremely sophisticated and intricate. Before Lin Feng's Celestial Sect Teleportation Spell and before the first Extreme Spiritual Divine Monkey of the current generation reached the stage of tribulations, the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light was the only spell in the entire Grand Celestial World that could dodge an instance of the Power-Destroying Catastrophe.

Besides that, the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light had other uses, and had always been considered to be one of most powerful spells in the entire Divine Lands.

When unleashed by someone like the Zheng Yi Holy Man, even immensely powerful forces like the Crucible of the Divine Lands and the Two Elements of Creation temporarily lost control and were manipulated by the mystical light.

However, this spell seemed like it had been broken by its adversary.

What sent shivers down the spines of both the Xuan Lin Holy Man and the Zheng Yi Holy Man was that the method Lin Feng used to counter the power of the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light wasn't brute force, but another kind of spell that had a similar concept of power as the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light yet was drastically different at the same time.

"What can it be…" Even elders like the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Xuan Lin Holy Man from the Great Void Sect watched Lin Feng with eyes that revealed a sense of disbelief, and Lin Feng became even more cryptic and unfathomable.

Chapter 1018: The Only Thing Holding Back The Celestial Sect Of Wonders

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Zheng Yi Holy Man glanced down at the wound on his right shoulder. There were still traces of golden light flowing from inside that resembled specks of blood.

His expression was calm as usual, but his eyes grew solemn and gloomy.

This was the second time he was injured at the hands of Lin Feng. However, compared to the other time at Xiling City, this encounter affected him even more as his opponents' tactics were far beyond his expectations and calculations.

Even till now, the Zheng Yi Holy Man was still unable to understand the sudden change in Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar and how it came about.

"It seems to be connected to the stars in the universe in some way. However, it can't be as simple as channeling the vast energy of the stars. It's the method of doing it that's the key to everything."

A million thoughts flashed by in his mind. "He used this spell to temporarily gain control over the stars to create other transformations…"

Even though he was still unsure about the whole thing, at his current level he could see things on the superficial level very clearly. "This spell is very strange. It seems to be similar in origin to his Inverse the Universe spell…"

At this point, the Zheng Yi Holy Man squinted a little. "First came the spell that was targeted at the Great Void Holy Pavilion, and next came a spell that countered the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light. Is that a coincidence? There are so many mantras in the world, but as their levels get higher it's possible that they'd become closer and closer together. If everything is but a coincidence, then forget it, but if it's not…"

The Xuan Lin Holy Man's eyes landed upon the injury on the right shoulder of the Zheng Yi Holy Man. His heart was heavy as he said, "It's not even Lin Feng's original body that's present."

Even though the Crucible of the Divine Lands leaned toward Lin Feng and joined forces with him against the Zheng Yi Holy Man, the power displayed by Lin Feng in this battle shook the Xuan Lin Holy Man at his very roots.

He turned towards the right claw of the Thunder Dragon Avatar and noticed that the dragon claw had returned to its original silver-white color. "That was undoubtedly the dragon claw of a pure-blood immemorial celestial dragon, and the power of a Vipralopa Stage demon dragon. The claw of the Earth Celestial King that he had broken off those years ago had been incorporated into his avatar."

"When he was battling the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation and the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, this factor wasn't revealed at all. This person has truly deep thoughts and considerations, and how do we know if has displayed his full power this time? How much more is he hiding?"

Before the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Xuan Lin Holy Man, Lin Feng was still calm as the Thunder Dragon Avatar withdrew its original form and became human once more, and returned to the side of the Crucible of the Divine Lands.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man was still composed and wasn't dejected at all as he watched the Crucible of the Divine Lands quietly. Not before long, he started to speak at the Crucible of the Divine Lands. "The Emperor of the Dead, the person who betrayed and murdered Emperor Xia, was eventually defeated and overthrown by an alliance between Emperor Gu and the Star River Grandmaster from my sect, along with the cultivators from the entire Divine Lands after unifying them together. You have a connection with the Great Void Sect after all, and I hope you can reconsider this."

"I am deeply regretful about the death of Emperor Xia, and everything was beyond our expectations."

The Crucible of the Divine Lands chewed on his words but said nothing in response.

Lin Feng's Avatar of Ares stood by the side and gripped on the Crucible of the Divine Lands with one hand while his right hand began to cast a spell.

The giant body of the Crucible continued to surge with purple energy.

Lin Feng said quietly, "Crucible of the Divine Lands, you are a destiny-level magic treasure and even though your original soul is vast and isn't revealed to the world, you have full autonomy and you can decide your path from now onwards."

Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar returned to Lin Feng's side and grinned.

Whatever just transpired made it obvious that under similar circumstances, the Crucible of the Divine Lands would never choose the Great Void Sect.

Even if the Great Void Sect was superior, the Crucible of the Divine Lands might not have chosen them either.

The Xuan Lin Holy Man said softly, "The Emperor of the Dead that killed Emperor Xia all those years ago has been reborn. Both the Great Void Sect or the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders intend to eliminate him."

The Crucible of the Divine Lands quivered as the Xuan Lin Holy Man continued, "This bastard's movements are hard to track, but we have a lead on his location."

Lin Feng glanced at the Xuan Lin Holy Man and thought to himself, "They continue to believe that the hiding place of the Emperor of the Dead has something to do with the Netherworld Sea. Just how much do they know about the Netherworld Sea?"

The Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Xuan Lin Holy Man refused to reveal any more emotions. They knew that the Celestial Sect of Wonders had connections with the Ancient Longevity World, and when the Ancient Longevity World's Netherworld Sea suddenly cracked all those years ago, they were positive that Lin Feng was able to obtain any information regarding the reappearance of the Emperor of the Dead; hence the reason why they were not particular about leaking information.

In the end, the fact that there was someone in the Great Void Sect that could channel the power of the Netherworld Sea wasn't a secret.

Five thousand years ago, Wu Mengqi of the Supreme Elder Council of the Great Void Sect was forced to channel the power of the Netherworld Sea to defend against an invasion from the demon races inside Mount Taihua at the Barren Expanses. The result was that he was temporarily able to save Mount Taihua, and sustained until the Tai Yi Holy Man returned from the Spirit Sea, but Mount Taihua ended up in decay and became a death zone.

Over the years, the Great Void Sect drew the One Heavenly Primordial Water to rinse and cleanse Mount Taihua day and night. Even though there was considerable progress, the project was still incomplete and Mount Taihua had yet to regain its original splendor.

What drew others' attentions was the fact that before Wu Mengqi, legend had it that there was some someone else that could direct the power of the Netherworld Sea. The only thing was that too long had passed and people outside the Great Void Sect no longer knew the details.

"Even though the Netherworld Sea is perilous and full of calamities, there are some exotic items inside. The Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire and the Nine Netherworld Draught exist in considerable volumes – however, never have I seen a Great Void Sect cultivator manipulate these things."

Lin Feng reached deep into his mind. "Have they really never tried to control them, or have they been hiding all along? If they have never tried to control them, what's the reason for that? The elders of the Great Void Sect that can manipulate the power of the Netherworld Sea – how are they able to do that?"

The Crucible of the Divine Lands shuddered as it heard the Zheng Yi Holy Man's words and let out a dull hum that resonated between the stars.

He was a destiny-level magic treasure forged by Emperor Xia, and his level of autonomy and volition were far greater than that of gestation, metaplasia or Mahayana-level magic treasures.

Ever since Emperor Xia perished, as long as he wasn't willing, it was hard for someone to tame him.

The death of Emperor Xia could be important to Crucible of the Divine Lands but it could also mean nothing at all.

As a destiny-level magic treasure, the willpower of the Crucible of the Divine Lands was more similar to the life of an independent world. He had emotions, but emotions didn't bother him too much and his decisions typically followed natural law and what was right in the world.

Following the great principles of the Greater World also meant that he followed the principles of the world of destiny.

Therefore, even though there was a certain level of hostility toward the Zheng Yi Holy Man, it wasn't very strong.

However, when other factors weren't so far apart, the Crucible of the Divine Lands would tend to display hostility toward the Emperor of the Dead and the Great Void Sect.

Lin Feng watched the quivering Crucible and chuckled as he used his consciousness to communicate with it. "Both the Great Void Sect and the Celestial Sect of Wonders have leads on the location of the Emperor of the Dead – the Netherworld Sea."

"I believe my chances are equivalent to that of the Great Void Sect, and whatever you wish to do is entirely up to you."

The trembling of the Crucible of the Divine Lands stopped abruptly as its vast willpower connected directly with Lin Feng's consciousness. However, no questions were asked as it just quietly interacted with Lin Feng.

Lin Feng faced it with integrity. He didn't lie to the Crucible of the Divine Lands. Even though he didn't know the extent of the Great Void Sect's knowledge about the Netherworld Sea, judging from the information he had in his own possession, it was unlikely that the Great Void Sect had more intelligence.

…The only thing was that his lead was highly superficial and was purely put on paper.

Lin Feng had no intention to hide this fact as he reported everything to the Crucible of the Divine Lands. With Lin Feng's permission, the Crucible of the Divine Lands was able to judge whether Lin Feng was being honest or not through their temporary connection, and the eventual decision made by the Crucible was still entirely up to it.

The Crucible of the Divine Lands didn't let Lin Feng down as the boiling purple energy inside suddenly quietened down. The Crucible appeared smooth and calm as the surface of an undisturbed pool of water.

Very quickly, several bubbles appeared from the surface and several human figures flew out from within.

Chen Xingyu, Guo Chaoyang, Mu Xuan, the Six Appearances Sword, Zhao Mingxiu, Shan Xiang, Yang Zhao, Ding Runfeng, Fan Xufeng… the group of cultivators from the Great Void Sect were thrown out by the Crucible.

Within the thick purple energy, Cai Fengzhou withdrew the Auspicious Cloud Pillar and looked extremely embittered as he felt the world's repulsion toward him. In the end, he shook his head and allowed the Crucible to send him out as well.

If he continued to resist, he would be directly pulverized by the power of this destiny-level magic treasure.

Outside the Crucible, the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Xuan Lin Holy Man watched Cai Fengzhou's departure from the Crucible and they both sighed a little inside instead of being angry.

The Crucible of the Divine Lands' alliance with Lin Feng against the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Great Void Holy Pavilion and his repulsion of Cai Fengzhou and the other cultivators from the Great Void Sect was connected to the karma from all those years ago.

"Cycles of retribution, and nobody knows who's right and who's wrong… The words of Emperor Xia makes a lot of sense, except it's really a pity." The Zheng Yi Holy Man watched the light projections from the Crucible of the Divine Lands as well, and he thought of Emperor Xia's exclamation as he developed a similar feeling in his heart.

However, this feeling was extremely fleeting. For the Zheng Yi Holy Man, the issue that was at the top of his list was the events that would unfold after the Crucible of the Divine Lands ended up in the hands of Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders, and the aftereffects.

If nothing else happened, the Great Void Sect's chances of snatching the Crucible of the Divine Lands from Lin Feng's hands were minimal and near impossible.

On one hand, Lin Feng's powers were far beyond their expectations, and the Crucible of the Divine Lands had made its own decision on the other.

Changing the decision of a destiny-level magic treasure, or forcing it to change its mind, was a terribly challenging task.

At least this was the case for the remaining power of the Great Void Sect inside the Starry Sea. With Lin Feng at the side, changing the decision of the Crucible of the Divine Lands was too difficult and very near impossible.

For the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Xuan Lin Holy Man, the Crucible of the Divine Lands ending up in Lin Feng's grasp was a disastrous outcome.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders were still in expansion, and the possession of the Crucible of the Divine Lands was bound to aid in their exponential rise to power and boost their strength greatly.

There was a consensus amongst the Divine Lands, that the only thing holding back the Celestial Sect of Wonders was time.

With the help of the Crucible of the Divine Lands, the hindrance of time that the Celestial Sect of Wonders faced would be reduced.

Chapter 1019: The Old Rival Has Disappeared

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng settled beside the Crucible of the Divine Lands and tapped his finger lightly on its giant body and a few human figures flew out from inside as well.

With Shi Tianhao taking the lead, Yue Hongyan, Li Yuanfang, Luo Qingwu and the entire group of second-generation disciples followed closely behind.

They were not rejected by the Crucible like the other cultivators of the Great Void Sect. Rather, they came out under Lin Feng's instruction while Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar remained.

Lin Feng's gaze swept over the group of cultivators from the Great Void Sect, and his eyes paused upon the Six Appearances Sword for a moment.

"Who is this magic item travelling with?" Lin Feng used his consciousness to ask the disciples behind him. Yue Hongyan answered, "It is in the service of a female disciple from the Great Void Sect, who is also Pang Jie's disciple."

Lin Feng nodded his head and said nothing more but he felt a little reminiscent of the olden days.

All those years ago, when he had just formed the nascent soul, he personally battled Pang Jie and the Six Appearances Sword.

Back then, he wasn't as experienced and he had just opened his sect to the world. On the other hand, Pang Jie was a renowned prodigy and was the All-Under-Heavens Strider of the Great Void Sect.

The next time they crossed paths was during the incident with the ancestral ground of the Yu Family. Pang Jie had been silently cultivating in Mount Baiyun and successfully ascended to the immortal soul stage. However, all his efforts were wasted as their standards and even their statuses were completely reversed.

By then, the people that communicated with Lin Feng on an equal footing became Yan Nanlai, Kuang Heng, the Xuan Lin Holy Man and the other seniors who were a generation above Pang Jie.

Furthermore, Pang Jie was condemned for executing a sacrificial soul imprint on his junior and was incarcerated by the inner circle of the Great Void Sect.

Pang Jie was still imprisoned under the Great Void Demon-Crushing Stone today, and the Six Appearances Sword that he carried around all those years ago was passed on to his disciple.

And the people that were on equal statuses with Lin Feng became the Tai Yi Holy Man and the Zheng Yi Holy Man, the supreme elders from an even older generation.

The opponents that Lin Feng encountered over the years might not be a match for even one of his disciples.

While Lin Feng's state of mind was strong and resilient, he developed a feeling of uncertainty and that the world was dangerously unpredictable.

He wasn't too proud and neither was he overly sentimental. Even though he was a little nostalgic and lamented the old times, his heart was calm and if one were to ask him about his opinion, he would say that if you didn't go forward then you'd go backward.

This statement applied to everyone and not just to himself.

Lin Feng turned towards the Zheng Yi Holy Man, the Xuan Lin Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou and said calmly, "The opening of the Star Tomb is reaching an end, and our conflict here has also reached a resolution. We should be heading over right now. I will take my leave, and the three of you can do as you wish."

With that, Lin Feng packaged Shi Tianhao, Wang Lin and the others with his mana. The Avatar of Ares withdrew the Two Elements of Creation Formation and dragged the Crucible of the Divine Land as they travelled into the distance along with the Thunder Dragon Avatar.

Blinding starlight connected into an entire patch in the distance, and it felt like an entire sea of stars that was unfathomably vast and sinister at the same time.

Cai Fengzhou forced a laugh as he watched Lin Feng's shadow after his departure. He turned towards the Zheng Yi Holy Man and greeted him, saying, "Senior Uncle Zheng Yi, I'm sorry for letting you down."

The Zheng Yi Holy Man shook his head and replied, "It's not your fault."

The host of emotions in the Xuan Lin Holy Man's eyes had dissipated entirely and only composure remained. "Shall we proceed to the Star Tomb?"

He didn't say much, and the original souls of the Formation Bursting Drum and the Void Yin-Yang Bell beside him, the Drum Fairy and the Yin-Yang Elder were standing right beside him but they were silent.

Either one of them could be considered powerful entities amongst Mahayana-level magic treasures, and their abilities were far greater than most third-level immortal soul stage cultivators.

However, they were unable to combine with each other to form the Great Void Holy Pavilion in the near future.

Once they were separated, they had to wait for a painfully long time before they had a chance to fuse again.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man himself was injured, and the strength of the Great Void Sect inside the Starry Sea had declined rather than improved.

If they were the ones who tamed the Crucible of the Divine Lands, they would have been able to offset their losses and their overall strength would probably still increase.

However, the Crucible ended up in Lin Feng's hands and greatly boosted his strength while the Great Void Sect took a blow and were relatively weaker.

Opening the Star Tomb required at least four different gates to the Starry Sea. There was no doubt that a great many demons were congregated near the Star Tomb, and their potential gains from hurrying over to the Star Tomb was highly uncertain.

If they had the Crucible of the Divine Lands, then they would have a lot more confidence in executing their plans.

The circumstance they were in right now was that the Great Void Sect had completely lost control of the situation inside the Starry Sea, and everything continued to slip through their fingers.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man wiped his left hand over his right arm, and the five-lined gash created by the Thunder Dragon Avatar's claw disappeared. However, there was a tinge of discomfort within his body and he could still faintly feel the unbalance of his energies. He was holding down his injuries for the moment, but a complete recovery would take a lot more than that.

"The opening of the Star Tomb is a big thing and the Dragons are very likely to be involved as well. We will make our way there, but we will play by ear and make our move only when we know what's going on." The Zheng Yi Holy Man waved his hands once he finished speaking.

The Drum Fairy and the Yin-Yang Elder vanished into thin air as the Formation-Bursting Drum and the Void Yin-Yang Bell transformed into two rays of flowing light that were withdrawn into the sleeve of the Zheng Yi Holy Man. Subsequently, the Zheng Yi Holy Man simply proceeded in the direction of the Star Tomb by himself.

The Xuan Lin Holy Man exchanged a look with Cai Fengzhou. Cai Fengzhou extended his mana and swept up the group of younger disciples and followed behind the Zheng Yi Holy Man with the Xuan Lin Holy Man by his side.

"Where is Zhenglun?" The Xuan Lin Holy Man asked softly and Guo Chaoyang lowered his voice and replied, "Junior Wan was murdered by Tang Ju from the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

Cai Fengzhou's brows furrowed into a frown and asked, "What's the reason?"

Guo Chaoyang made no attempt to hide or distort the truth and reported everything that Yang Zhao had conveyed to him before, to Cai Fengzhou and the Xuan Lin Holy Man.

As they listened to Guo Chaoyang's recount, Cai Fengzhou heaved a heavy sigh into the sky and the Xuan Lin Holy Man said plainly, "Zhenglun was a disciple of the Great Void Sect. Whether he was wrong or right, he should have been punished by our own rules. The fact that he was murdered by a disciple from the Celestial Sect of Wonders is completely unacceptable."

"From this moment on, all disciples under the immortal soul stage will have an extra Experience Quest: Defeat Tang Jun of the Celestial Sect of Wonders in a fair fight. The difficulty level of this Experience Quest is Advanced. When Tang Jun is in the nascent soul stage, then the difficulty level will be raised to Impossible."

"Whoever completes this Experience Quest will report directly to me."

Tang Jun practically held his own against three cultivators at the same time, and even then, he managed to break through and kill Wan Zhenglun. Therefore, the disciples of the Great Void Sect wanted retribution but the only way they could achieve that was to defeat and kill Tang Jun in a fair one-on-one situation. Any form of ambush, besiegement and whatnot would embarrass themselves instead.

As long as the gap in level of mastery between the two competing cultivators in a fair fight wasn't too great, there was nothing much to be said. However, the Great Void Sect would be starting the battle with a showdown-to-the-death mindset.

At the same time, judging by Tang Jun's past records, the challenge that the disciples of the Great Void Sect faced in a fair fight against Tang Jun to defeat and kill him was not the normal kind of difficult.

They were very likely to be killed by Tang Jun instead.

The Xuan Lin Holy Man was clear that when Tang Jun formed the nascent soul, then this Experience Quest's difficulty level would be raised to Impossible – this was the highest possible difficulty level of all Experience Quests for the disciples of the Great Void Sect under the immortal soul stage.

The highest possible difficulty level meant the most dangerous as well.

Over the course of history, Impossible Experience Quests were already rarely seen and people that could complete such tasks were also few and far between.

In the most recent few thousand years, the only disciple from the Great Void Sect under the Immortal Soul Stage that had completed an Impossible Experience Quest before was Lin Daohan.

In normal times, the arrangement of Experience Quests for the disciples under the Immortal Soul Stage were typically settled by the seniors in the Immortal Soul Stage, and they would never trouble a supreme elder like the Xuan Lin Holy Man for a task like this. Even Pang Jie, who was a direct disciple of the Xuan Lin Holy Man, was the same.

Yet, the Xuan Lin Holy Man personally declared an Experience Quest this time and disciples who eventually completed the Quest were to go to him directly.

The disciples from the Great Void Sect were bursting with excitement at this declaration, but they were equally solemn.

Everybody fantasized about their own chances for a while before everybody calmed down, and most of them turned in unison to look at Chen Xingyu and Guo Chaoyang.

Mu Xuan's cosmic form was shattered not too long ago, and the disciples from the Great Void Sect inside the Starry Sea who had the best chance were Chen Xingyu and Guo Chaoyang.

In the end, Shan Xiang was no match for Tang Jun even though he was in the nascent soul intermediate stage. While Guo Chaoyang and Chen Xingyu were only in the nascent soul beginner stage, they were both more powerful than Shan Xiang was.

Only disciples of a certain standard had a chance to even survive an attempt at this Experience Quest, let alone complete it.

Guo Chaoyang and Chen Xingyu didn't say much as they paid their respects at the same time.

Cai Fengzhou didn't interrupt the Xuan Lin Holy Man when he was speaking as he had been thinking the whole time. At this point, he chimed in. "Everybody needs to continue training hard. The Experience Quests set by the sect can be attempted and redeemed by anyone, and everybody should treat this as a goal to grind yourselves."

Shan Xiang, Fan Xuefeng, Zhao Mingxiu and the others had a tiny epiphany as they listened to his words. They reoriented themselves and hurriedly acknowledged his instructions.

Cai Fengzhou shook his head but said nothing more to the younger generation of disciples. He passed a message to the Xuan Lin Holy Man via voice-projection and said, "The Celestial Sect of Wonders seems to have an advantage in the nurturing of their second generation of disciples."

The Xuan Lin Holy Man said nothing in response but heaved a sigh that was a seldom occurrence for him. After a long while of contemplation, he turned towards Cai Fengzhou. "That's the reason why I decaled this Experience Quest. It's best if someone is able to complete it, but if nobody is able to do so, I hope it will serve as a source of motivation."

Even though it was spoken as such, Cai Fengzhou could sense a trace of sullenness in his voice.

Their political opinions were different, but they had been friends for a long time after all and Cai Fengzhou knew that the Xuan Lin Holy Man was extremely hard-headed and egotistical. He set an Experience Quest for his younger disciples but had no faith at all that anyone could complete it. The fact that he declared this Experience Quest as a form of motivation rather than something to be attempted and achieved betrayed his exasperation and desperation.

"Even though the situation is slipping out of our grasp and our confidence is being whittled down, it doesn't mean that we don't have a chance." The despondence in the eyes of the Xuan Lin Holy Man quickly disappeared, and his usual composure swiftly returned as he orientated himself once again. "This is especially so because of the Crucible of the Divine Lands – it's far too important."

Cai Fengzhou nodded his head in approval of his remark.

For the Great Void Sect, a magic treasure like the Crucible of the Divine Lands could be used to forge pills and could be used in battle at the same time – it was an extremely useful and powerful magic treasure.

In the end, destiny-level magic treasures were hard to come by. Vipralopa Stage human cultivators were typically at a disadvantage against Vipralopa Stage great demons in most situations as the revelation of the great demons' true forms would greatly increase their powers.

"If we can obtain the Crucible of the Divine Lands, then so be it, but if the Crucible of the Divine Lands is still in the hands of the Celestial Sect of Wonders at the end of everything, then our original plan really has to be executed as soon as possible," the Xuan Lin Holy Man said quietly, "When we return from the Starry Sea, we have to carry out our first search of the Void Battleground."

Chapter 1020: The Opening Of The Star Tomb!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Cai Fengzhou contemplated momentarily and asked softly, "Are you sure we should do that?"

"This is the decision passed down from the Supreme Elder Council. Junior Cai, you chose not to vote back then and when the plan is actually executed, you don't have to be a part of it," the Xuan Lin Holy Man said quietly, "There is right and wrong in a decision, but there is only effective and ineffective in the method. Whether we are right or wrong, this is the most effective and practical method that can come up with."

Cai Fengzhou loosed a faint sigh. "We haven't heard much all these years. Perhaps they have already been captured by the Hall of the Dead, but the other party is keeping the fact a secret and waiting for the prime opportunity."

The Xuan Lin Holy Man nodded his head and said, "That is a possibility. However, we have to make a final decision and if it's possible, I wish to use the Supreme Heavenly Mirror to survey, and as long as there is no attack launched upon the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, its recovery process shouldn't be delayed and we only have to expend a limited amount of energy."

Cai Fengzhou answered with only one sentence. "I will participate when you need me."

As they spoke, they had arrived in the region near the Star Tomb and a vast sea of light appeared before their eyes. The dots of starlight looked like undulating waves that rolled around incessantly.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man, the Xuan Lin Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou looked ahead and noticed that Lin Feng and his disciples were already there.

"Master, the Great Void Sect is here as well." Shi Tianhao stole a glimpse at the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the others and chuckled.

Lin Feng smiled faintly and said, "If their chances are not entirely nonexistent, they won't give up so easily. However, they are without the Great Void Holy Pavilion and the Zheng Yi Holy Man himself is injured, so their overall strength is compromised and they will definitely be a lot more cautious."

"So, they are more likely to act after everything has already begun," Lin Feng's eyes darted between the radiant stars in the brilliant universe, "They don't have the resilience or the strength to take the initiative and act early. If they wait too long and take action too late, they may end up with nothing at all. The intricate balance in timing is a real test for the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the others."

Lin Feng continued to scrutinize the stars in the area while Wang Lin did the same. They surveyed their surroundings for a while before Wang Lin's brows started to crease. "The environment is too peaceful and there isn't a single demon to be seen. If they intend to ambush us, everything may seem a little too normal and peaceful and will end up foiling their own plan. Perhaps they wish to keep us guessing about the reality of the situation?"

"They must be on guard against us and the Great Void Sect," Lin Feng spoke casually, "However, they don't have to set anything up on the outside this will make it a lot easier for us to kill them."

"They have gates to the Starry Seas with them, and they themselves are near the Star Tomb. Therefore, they will surely be aware if someone else enters the Star Tomb." Lin Feng continued to speak as the Thunder Dragon Avatar laid his palm open, and a thin ray of light extended deep into the starry sky.

A giant gate in the universe glimmered at the end of this ray of light. Under its direction, this giant gate flew toward Lin Feng.

On the far end of the horizon, the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the other two elders from the Great Void Sect squinted a little at the sight.

Naturally, this was the gate to the Starry Sea that belonged to Lin Feng. The Thunder Dragon Avatar drew the gate up close, and tapped his finger on the surface of the gate. In the next moment, thick layers of light burst out from the gate to the Starry Sea.

These layers of light weren't too bright or blinding. Instead, they were warm and calm as they extended outward and connected together with the brilliant light of the Starry Sea.

The Thunder Dragon's eyes sparkled as different images started to appear.

"Oh, the gate to the Star Tomb is about to be opened – I don't think we can wait any longer." Lin Feng's frowned lightly as he tapped on the gate to the Starry Sea a second time as the layers of warm light enveloped him, Shi Tianhao and Wang Lin together.

Lin Feng went forth and stepped forward into the brilliant sea of starlight.

At the far end of the horizon, the Zheng Yi Holy Man started to cast a spell and light shadows flickered above his head.

This light was dull and blurry, as if it had form and was translucent and was covered by a curtain and eventually materialized into the shape of a circular mirror.

Once the light reflected off the mirror appeared, the shining starlight in the universe all around seemed to freeze and slow down as their sparkles stopped. Their reflections were presented on the surface of the mirror like a frozen picture that depicted the vastness of the Starry Sea in all its glory.

Once they were covered by the light from this mirror, the Zheng Yi Holy Man, the Xuan Lin Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou seemed like they were covered by a curtain as well and their figures became obscure.

The three of them then proceeded forward and entered the sea of light before them as well.

Once they officially stepped foot inside this sea of starlight, the environment before Lin Feng's eyes suddenly changed. From the outside, it seemed like rows and rows of starlight connected to form an entire ocean of light. However, once they were inside, they realized that it was more like a giant hall.

Every pillar and every beam was humongous, and were so long and wide that the naked eye wasn't able to properly gauge its enormity.

Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar could grow to a hundred thousand feet tall when he released his physical form. However, the size of his Great Satanic Avatar was dwarfed by the appalling size of this great hall.

Every single structural element was formed by starlight as the materialization of starlight was no different from real matter.

However, the great palace was ancient and barren. The physical appearance of the great palace could not be appreciated with the same eyes that judged the giant halls and pavilions that were commonplace amongst the humans as this enormous palace was drastically different.

However, the structures inside this palace were riddled with flowing light patterns and amazed onlookers with their pure impressiveness. It felt as if the stars in the sky were placed on a rotating belt, and appeared as sophisticated as it could be and embodied all the profundities of Heaven and Earth.

Lin Feng observed the light patterns as the corner of his mouth curved into a smile. "No wonder it's called the Star Tomb."

Upon closer inspection, Lin Feng quickly realized that the flowing light patterns resembled the rotation and orbit of the stars in the universe, but their final destination was death and destruction.

The principle contained within these light patterns was that the lifespan of heaven and earth was the longest thing, and the stars in the night sky existed for eternity. Yet, the rotations of the stars and the flow of everything pointed toward death, toward the final destination and state of the entire Universe.

This palace was incredibly large and its surface area was immeasurably humongous and was comparable to a small world on its own.

Lin Feng and his disciples casted their eyes out and took in the uncountable numbers of halls and pavilions that seemed to stretch on forever. Yet, they were only on the outer regions of the Star Tomb and were still a considerable distance away from the true resting place of the stars.

The entire company walked forward, and Shi Tianhao touched the gate to the Starry Sea that followed them inside. He studied it with his consciousness and exclaimed, "The people from the Great Void Sect didn't follow us inside?"

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head. "I think they're here."

Shi Tianhao and Wang Lin glanced at each other. "They didn't trigger the prohibitive mechanisms of the Star Tomb? I can't sense their existence through our gate to the Starry Sea."

Lin Feng answered plainly, "Don't underestimate the Supreme Heavenly Mirror. This magic treasure has multiple functions and uses."

"History has proved many times before that this magic treasure can still be used even through the dimensional power and barriers between worlds. The only difference is that the effects will be weaker, that's all."

"Some people focus too much on the offensive power of this magic treasure and overlook its other uses. However, some people who have never seen the destructive power of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror and consider this magic item to be a support-type treasure. Both conceptions are misconstrued."

Lin Feng smiled faintly and said, "Let's not talk about the future, but judging from the present, the strength of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror when it's in its peak condition can be rightfully considered to be the number-one magic treasure in the entire Grand Celestial World."

"Even if it's damaged and not at its peak condition, one cannot underestimate it."

Shi Tianhao asked, "The Great Void Sect don't have a gate to the Starry Sea on their hands, so does that mean they used the Supreme Heavenly Mirror to enter the Starry Sea?"

Wang Lin deliberated for a while but shook his head in the end. "I don't think so. What happened before proved that the demons were also shell-shocked about the Great Void Sect's ability to enter the Ancient Desolate Galaxy. In the time after the Antiquity Age, there have been no rumors of information whatsoever regarding the Great Void Sect's activity inside the Ancient Desolate Galaxy."

"If they have a stable passageway in their hands that allowed them to enter the Ancient Desolate Galaxy at whim, it isn't possible that nobody knows anything about it. This shows that the entry of the Great Void Sect into the Ancient Desolate Galaxy is possibly one of their only times and even then, it's definitely highly limited."

Wang Lin was relatively isolated and didn't talk much, but his thoughts were well-organized and intricate and there must be a reason for anything that he spoke about. He wasn't too reserved about his speech before Lin Feng and Shi Tianhao as he continued, "I think they must have used some disposable magic treasure and temporarily opened the passageway leading into the Starry Sea."

Shi Tianhao nodded his head in agreement. "That sound about right. This also explains why there haven't been any other cultivators from the Great Void Sect to back them up and let us claim the Crucible of the Divine Lands just like that."

The three of them sauntered forward side by side as they wound through rows and rows of pavilions before their field of vision expanded all of a sudden.

On top a giant patch of empty space, a high tower that was completely made from starlight appeared before Lin Feng and company.

There were four gigantic light spheres are the summit of the high tower that flashed with alluring radiance.

Every light sphere resembled a giant star, but closer inspection revealed the fact that each light sphere had its own projections and imagery.

Dots of starlight spun around continuously in the center of each light sphere, as if it was stellar sky in which stars sparkled.

Every light sphere was like an entire universe on its own.

Beside the four light spheres, there were several gigantic figures.

A figure with a cheetah's body and ears that looked like that of a cow, and only had one eye and a long tail that was held up with its mouth was standing beside the light sphere on the Eastern side – it was the Zhujian Grand Sage, who had ambushed and laid siege to Lin Feng and the others before.

On the Western side, there were two figures instead of one. One had wings on its back and skin that appeared like a porcupine but an outer figure that seemed like a mix of both tiger and bull, and its aura was fearsome and murderous – the Qiongqi Grand Sage.

The other looked more elegant and noble as its entire body was blue in color. It had a pretty-looking feathered tail that lit up with five different colors of light – the Peacock Grand Sage.

On the Southern side, there was another great demon with a dirty-yellow body that radiated with pale golden light and was colossal in size.

A bull's head, a deer's horns, a prawn's eyes, an elephant's ears, a serpent's neck, a phoenix's talons and a tiger's paws.

White clouds encircled its entire body, and gave others a weighty and dense feel that resembled the force of the entire earth, and it was a golden dragon.

A smaller figure stood beside the light sphere on the Northern side. However, the formidable and overbearing aura that came from this great demon was the most powerful one amongst the entire group. It had black fur and blood-red eyes, and every breath it took felt like it was riling up the clouds and the winds in the sky – it was the tribe leader of the Ancient Ape Demons, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

All the great demons were staring straight at the high tower in the center of the four light spheres.

Every light sphere had a chain that connected onto the high tower, and the top of the tower was a four-sided pyramid.

This four-sided pyramid boomed and crackled as it started to open from the top. The triangular sides of the pyramid extended in its respective directions, and resembled the scene of a blooming flower as brilliant light shot out into the sky.

Chapter 1021: The Unexpected Target

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The rays of light skyrocketed and reached the ceiling of the pavilion and connected to it like a sky pillar.

This giant pillar of light expanded outwards in all directions and gradually covered the entire tower. Radiant light spiraled inside the light pillar and surged around.

In the middle of the pillar of light, innumerable shiny crystals drifted into vision and rose along the pillar.

These shiny crystals were irregular in shape, but veins were faintly visible as if they belonged to the skeletons of animals. However, it didn't seem that much like it while waves of dense but calm spiritual energy rippled.

They were vast like the stars in the sky, but they were a lot warmer.

"Are these the star skulls?" Lin Feng's eyes sparkled. "There are so many of them…"

From the distance, the Zheng Yi Holy Man, the Xuan Lin Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou also arrived in the vicinity of the tall tower and watched the specks of light rising up through the sky pillar.

Cai Fengzhou lowered his voice and said, "Such large volumes – it appears that in the thousands of years after the last war of the worlds, the star tomb hasn't been opened before."

The Xuan Lin Holy Man nodded. "Before this, the opening of the star tomb using four gates to the Starry Sea has only happened once before. It's probably because the demons haven't been able to team up properly to open the star tomb the last time, so they saved everything for today."

Lin Feng continued watching the events unfold. He knew very well that the reason why the demons could temporarily open the star tomb to retrieve the contents inside had something to do with the fact that he had a gate to the Starry Sea on his hands.

Ever since the Antiquity Age, the fact that humans were once again able to step foot into the Ancient Desolate Galaxy undoubtedly triggered some of the powerful demon races.

"However, this isn't enough for them to scramble so quickly and form an alliance," Lin Feng was searching for answers in his head, "I'm afraid this has something to do with the Origins Celestial Dragon successfully completing the Second Tribulation of Destiny."

His eyes paused upon the giant yellow dragon. This was a dragon king in the Cardinal Tribulations Beginning Stage, and his demonic energies seemed boundless.

Even he was right, this should be the tribe leader of the Yellow Dragons from the Immemorial Celestial Dragons, the Yellow Plains Dragon King.

The natural talent of the Yellow Dragons that was the most widely known were their dense volumes of demonic powers. Their demonic power was heavy and abundant like the earth beneath their feet, and even though it seemed normal and nothing out of the ordinary, it was extremely powerful.

Without comparing other aspects, the total volume of demonic power that the Yellow Plains Dragon King possessed was almost the same as that of the Vipralopa Stage Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

If he managed to ascend to the Vipralopa Stage, he would be able to purify his blood essence and become an immemorial celestial dragon like the Earth Dragon King and his powers would experience an exponential increase.

The Immemorial Celestial Dragons were the supreme beings of the earth, the principles embodied by their golden bodies were not simply pieced together or nurtured after birth. Instead, it was a kind of innate talent that combined the various great Dao of the world with inexplicable sophistication.

Many different breeds of dragons who eventually managed to purify their blood to become an immemorial celestial dragon would discover that their original natural talents unique to their previous breed would experience an exponential increase in power. This evolution was clear, and it was obvious that their understandings of the relevant principles became much deeper and complex.

Dragons like the Yellow Plains Dragon King and the Azure Sky Dragon King, if they were able to reach the Vipralopa Stage and become immemorial celestial dragons, while they would see a similarity in natural talent, their differences would also become amplified. The demonic powers of the Yellow Plains Dragon King would grow even denser and powerful, while the powers of the Azure Sky Dragon King to dissolve mana would also become stronger.

When the Origins Celestial Dragon successfully completed the Second Tribulation of Destiny, the other great demons naturally felt a heightened sense of urgency and pressure.

After all, if the power of the Origins Celestial Dragon continued to rise, the first individuals to experience this dominant pressure would be the other demons of the Barren Expanses. The rise to power of a Holy Demonic Emperor of the current generation would be accompanied by bloodshed and an accumulation of bodies.

If not for the fact that the dragons controlled the Black Sea, and the fact that people like Lin Feng and the Great Void Sect were watching them closely, the other demon races were likely to have formed an alliance to attack the dragons.

This was a path that the dragons had to go through if they wanted to reign supreme in the world once again, and both the Earth Dragon King and the Origins Celestial Dragon understood this.

Since they were temporarily unable to do anything to the dragons, the other great demons chose to react to the pressure from the Origins Dragon King by raising their own powers as well.

The star skulls hidden within the Star Tomb therefore became the most optimal choice at hand.

Even though they would have to give a piece of the cake to the dragons, and therefore increasing the powers of the dragons in the process, everybody would grow together and it was better this way than otherwise. Progress and harvest was better than nothing, and better than sitting there doing nothing and awaiting the impending demise.

Furthermore, during the process of opening the Star Tomb, other opportunities could arise.

The possibility that the dragons would ride upon their superior strength to take a larger piece of the cake forcefully was not likely to happen, as the Origins Celestial Dragon had yet to recover from going through the Second Tribulation of Destiny.

The Origins Dragon King resolved to be embarrassed just that once, and it would be difficult to shake his decision unless there was something that he just couldn't accept.

This was the Starry Sea, and not the Black Sea. Even if the Origins Celestial Dragon was personally present, he was still weak from the tribulations and him being able to sweep the entire field was another story altogether.

In the end, Lin Feng had a gate to the Starry Sea and the Great Void Sect had cultivators inside the Starry Sea as well. It was obvious that the group of human cultivators were more than happy to see the Origins Celestial Dragon leave the Black Sea before he had fully recovered.

The Yellow Plains Dragon King possessed the typical arrogance of the dragons, but his expression was calm and casual and it appeared like he had no intention to steal a larger piece of the cake.

Arrogance did not mean that he had no patience. The Yellow Plains Dragon King was very clear about what was most important to the dragons at this point in time. Furthermore, he wasn't about to steal a larger piece but he wasn't about to get a smaller piece either – ultimately, he wasn't on the losing end of the stick.

Everybody getting an equal amount of star skulls naturally meant that the dragons would benefit the most. This was the confidence and the arrogance of the Yellow Plains Dragon King and the entire dragon race, and they were not afraid of an equal split at all.

However, the Yellow Plains Dragon King was on guard against the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. If something was to happen, it would undoubtedly come from the actions of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. After all, he was the only demon here who was in the Vipralopa Stage and was used to being domineering and overbearing and it wasn't so likely that he'd play by the rules.

Before the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage could do anything, Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the others were already on scene.

The Yellow Plains Dragon King frowned a little. "How did the humans get in here? Could it be that they have their own gate to the Starry Sea?"

Thoughts began to spin in his head as his eyes swept between the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, the Peacock Grand Sage, the Qiongqi Grand Sage and the Zhujian Grand Sage as he had a tiny epiphany. "No wonder they are all so eager to open the Star Tomb, and even Xuangang became polite and courteous. It's not just about the pressure from the Origins Celestial Dragon – they are also concerned about the humans."

The other great demons teamed up to seek out the Yellow Plains Dragon King in order to open the Star Tomb and this made him a little frustrated and annoyed, but he thought it was only because of the pressure from the Origins Celestial Dragon completing the Second Tribulation of Destiny. He never thought that Lin Feng had a gate to the Starry Sea, and even the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the others were in the Starry Sea as well.

It only took an instant for the Yellow Plains Dragon King to smell the air of deception and a terrible scheme, and instinct told him that he had been conned by the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the others.

Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man saw the initial look of shock on the Yellow Plains Dragon King and they immediately understood everything. They realized that the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the other powerful demons didn't reveal their battle with the humans before this to the Yellow Plains Dragon King.

The ulterior motive was fairly conspicuous.

However, Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man were not too particular as this fit into their agenda as well. They were not concerned about the other great demons using them against the dragons, but as long as the unrecovered Origins Celestial Dragon could be lured out of the Black Sea, they would be more than happy.

Without any communication at all, Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man pounced toward the Yellow Plains Dragon King!

Both of them didn't lack the tactical ability and the patience, yet they were equally decisive as well.

If the Origins Celestial Dragon couldn't stay calm and ended up leaving the Black Sea to enter the Starry Sea, that was the best-case scenario but if he chose to remain in reclusion, he would leave the Yellow Plains Dragon King to his fate inside the Starry Sea and this would shave off some of the dragons' power.

If the Earth Dragon King was here instead of the Origins Celestial Dragon, it would be the same. After they discovered that the Origins Celestial Dragon had successfully completed the Second Tribulation of Destiny, both Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man would try their best to weaken the dragons with the assumption that the situation was controllable.

For the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the other great demons, the weakening of the dragons' strength was acceptable, but the increase in power of the humans wasn't something they wished to see

The war of attrition between the humans and the dragons to the point where both parties ended up suffering losses would give them the time they needed to develop and expand.

This was the reason why the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage didn't push the Yellow Plains Dragon King down the well and cover the well with a stone, but neither did they lend him a helping hand. Instead, they focused their attentions on retrieving the star skulls while quietly observing the situation with the Yellow Plains Dragon King, who was about to be attacked.

The Yellow Plains Dragon King was a superior being after all. Faced with the impending onslaught from two powerful cultivators from the human race, he made a split-second decision and gave up the star skulls right before his eyes without hesitation and revealed his true form at the first possible instance.

There were sinister patterns on his forehead in his true form. These patterns seemed to spread all over his body, and they flickered with alluring color and brilliant light.

The flashing lights appeared endless as they turned into a deep black color. Beneath the layers of black light revealed a sea that was purely golden in color and sparkled as it reflected the great hall that everybody was in.

"The Black Sea!" Lin Feng was a mildly taken aback as he witnessed what was before him – he had seen this before.

Five years ago, during his battle with the Golden Cicada Master and the Earth Dragon King in the Barren Expanses, the Earth Dragon King drew upon the power of the Black Sea to escape with the Azure Sky Dragon King.

"But only Vipralopa Stage dragons can withstand the power of these patterns. Dragons still in the Cardinal Tribulations Stage shouldn't be able to do that." It wasn't just Lin Feng that was astonished. Even the Zheng Yi Holy Man, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, the Qiongqi Grand Sage amongst the other powerful demons were also shell-shocked.

It wasn't the real Black Sea between the flashes of light. However, the layers of light swept up the Yellow Plains Dragon King and he vanished into thin air.

Lin Feng sensed the strange layers of light and compared it to the impression he had during his last encounter with it. His eyes squinted a little as he thought to himself, "These patterns have been changed and refined and are much more complicated now. It appears that they can now be imprinted onto dragons in still going through the tribulations – is this the work of the Origins Celestial Dragon?"

Thoughts spun in his head as Lin Feng tried to make sense of what's going on. The recuperation of the Origins Dragon King after the tribulations meant that there was an overall increase in his powers. Besides his own powers, it was likely that he had obtained a greater and deeper understanding of the complexities of the Black Sea.

The dragons had produced another individual who managed to complete the Second Tribulations of Destiny successfully, but nothing of this sort had ever happened before.

After inhabiting the Black Sea for such a long time, the dragons obtained a better understanding of their home turf and became better at manipulating it. When the Origins Dragon King completed the Second Tribulation of Destiny, they were finally able to put their knowledge into practical use.

There were only three light spheres remaining inside the great hall, and the Star Tomb appeared like it was going to close once more. The great hall itself began to quiver vigorously.

The expressions of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the other powerful demons changed a little as they sped up their harvest of the star skulls while they kept an eye on Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man.

Even though this was only one of Lin Feng's avatars, and only the Zheng Yi Holy Man from the more powerful circle of the Great Void Sect was here, the escape of the Yellow Plains Dragon King was well within their calculations – especially after the battle between Lin Feng and the Earth Dragon King and the Golden Cicada Master.

What they did not expect was that the Yellow Plains Dragon King drew upon the power of the Black Sea to escape like the Earth Dragon King did all those years ago, and it happened much faster than they thought. The Yellow Plains Dragon King disappeared without battling Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man at all.

At this point, Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man turned toward the other great demons.

With only a momentary pause, the two of them never interacted with one another but picked the same target once again.

Their target was unexpected – it was the most powerful demon in the entire lineup, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage!

Chapter 1022: Stealing The Gate To The Starry Sea!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The entirely unexpected escape of the Yellow Plains Dragon King made the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Zhujian Grand Sage and the others a little awkward.

This was especially so for the Zhujian Grand Sage as a chill ran down his spine.

Of all the powerful demons on scene, the Qiongqi Grand Sage and the Peacock Grand Sage were both under the wing of the Golden Roc Grand Sage and would definitely help each other. The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was also irrevocably the most powerful demon.

The Zhujian Grand Sage was all by himself. The Sirius Grand Sage was blinded in one eye by Lin Feng, and it wasn't just as simple as losing one eye. His true form and even his demonic soul was damaged, and he was now hiding away inside the Barren Expanses to recuperate so only he was the only one left inside the Starry Sea.

There was no doubt that following the departure of the Yellow Plains Dragon King, the Zhujian Grand Sage was the weakest.

However, the target chosen by Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man was completely outside of their expectations. They decided against the weakest Zhujian Grand Sage, and chose the most powerful Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage instead!

The group of powerful demons were not sure what to think.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was infuriated as he felt a sense of humiliation.

Still, the fury lasted only a second as he quickly realized what was going on. "They're not going for the star skulls of the Star Tomb, and neither are they looking to hurt us – they are going for the gates to the Starry Sea!"

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was a Vipralopa Stage great demon, and also the tribe leader of the Ancient Ape Demons. He was very powerful, and he was also the number-one figure of the ape demons and therefore the gate to the Starry Sea that belonged to the ape demons was naturally under his personal control.

The remaining light spheres inside the great hall of the Star Tomb worked together to open it, but these light spheres weren't the original entities of the gates to the Starry Seas. They were projections conjured by their demonic powers to draw upon the power of the gate to the Starry Sea – the gate itself wasn't physically here.

The gate that belonged to the dragons was naturally controlled by the Origins Celestial Dragon, and the Zhujian Grand Sage drew upon the power of the gate handled by the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. The Qiongqi Grand Sage and the Peacock Grand Sage channeled the power of the gate in the hands of the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

Whether it was the Yellow Plains Dragon King, the Zhujian Grand Sage, the Qiongqi Grand Sage or the Peacock Grand Sage, while they were all drawing upon the power of the gates to the Starry Sea, the actual gates weren't in their hands.

The people that were holding on to the gates weren't physically here – the Origins Celestial Dragon, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

The only person that was holding on to a gate to the Starry Sea that was physically present was the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

The light sphere beside was him was also a projection of the power of the gate, and the actual gate was somewhere else. However, through the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, the humans would be able to locate his gate.

This was the reason why no communication was required as both Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man lunged toward the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage on first notice!

The Yellow Plains Dragon King disappeared using the power of the Black Sea and this gave Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man and unpleasant surprise. However, they swiftly reoriented themselves and chose a new target.

They chose the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. The main reason was that the gate to the Starry Sea in his hands was the easiest to steal, and taking the gate out of the hands of the ape demons was beneficial for the future.

Without discussing personal powers, the ancestral ground of the Ancient Ape Demons was Mount Lingyuan and even though it wasn't like the Black Sea, it was still spectacular.

If the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage lost their own gates, stealing the gate to the Starry Sea from the Ancient Ape Demons would be extremely challenging.

A conflict between these parties would benefit the dragons, who would be watching happily from the side.

On the other hand, if the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage lost his gate, he would have to find another way to secure his entry into the Ancient Desolate Galaxy. He didn't have the means to disturb the Origins Celestial Dragon and the Black Sea, so he would end up picking on the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage or the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

He had a single gate to the Starry Sea. Even though he craved for the gates on the hands of the other great demons, he didn't dare to be too greedy. If he lost his gate to the Starry Sea and was unable to get it back in a short period of time, it was natural that he'd pick on the others.

Instigating an internal conflict between the great demons was extremely beneficial for the human cultivators. The more chaotic it was and the more demon races involved, the better.

Therefore, no communication was required as Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man chose the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage without hesitation.

Even if they couldn't defeat and kill him on the spot, they would take down his gate to the Starry Sea.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage finally figured out what was going on, but his fury didn't die down and he roared as he grew in size and immediately revealed his true form.

He was fearsome, but the onslaught launched against him was even more ferocious. Lin Feng's Avatar of Ares placed his palms together before extending them to both sides – the Two Elements of Creation Formation appeared in the sky along with the Crucible of the Divine Lands before they both crashed toward the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

At the same time, the Thunder Dragon Avatar howled into the sky and his right claw flashed golden as it slashed toward the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man didn't hold back either. Even though the Formation-Bursting Drum and the Void Yin-Yang Bell was unable to form the Great Void Holy Pavilion, the Zheng Yi Holy Man brought up the Void Yin-Yang Bell and tapped once on its surface.

Waves and waves of energy rippled outward in all directions with the Void Yin-Yang Bell as the center. Every wave was like a dimensional plane as they contained the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage within.

In the next moment, the Zheng Yi Holy Man opened his palms as rays of flowing light flickered while they permeated the entire area. They rolled like raging tides and the frightening tsunamis in the endless oceans and slammed toward the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage ruthlessly.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage roared again and again as a thick black mist enveloped his entire body. His eyes were blood-red as they sparkled with dazzling brilliance.

He opened his arms to both sides and blocked the Zheng Yi Holy Man and Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar before he leapt backwards and dodged Lin Feng's Two Elements of Creation Formation.

The Two Elements of Creation Formation reversed instantaneously and swept towards him once again. The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage glared as his blood-red eyes started to transform into a black color that resembled the deepest abyss. Two dense streaks of black light were unleashed and shot directly toward the Two Elements of Creation Formation.

Wherever the black light touched, void space froze and the two streaks eventually clashed head-on with Lin Feng's Two Elements of Creation Formation.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage's movement stopped from this. The Crucible of the Divine Lands crashed downward on top of his head, and it felt as if the entire Divine Lands was bearing down on the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

With a deep boom, the giant Crucible slammed on top of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage's head. Despite the immense power of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage's true form, the destiny-level magic treasure smashed against his head and concussed him momentarily and he even began to see stars.

Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar and the Zheng Yi Hoy Man pounced at the same time.

Murderous lights sparkled in the eyes of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage as the thick black energies surged about all over his body. Between the thick layers of black mist, Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man were unable to locate the exact location of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

It seemed obvious enough that he was where he was, but their consciousnesses were obscured by the thick layers of mist and his location was extremely unpredictable.

They could faintly feel the existence of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, but it flickered between the virtual world and the real world and was charged with an intense surreal feeling.

At Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man's level, to develop a surreal and uncertain feeling like that was an extremely rare occurrence.

However, faced with the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, they were a little uncertain of his existence and his location.

Despite this, both Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man remained calm and their expressions remained the same as they appeared as confident as ever.

Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar phased between reality and the virtual world once more as his powerful physical form transformed as it interacted with the light shadows all around him.

Something happened that shocked all the great demons on scene. Lin Feng's spell seemed to trigger the Star Tomb itself, and even the stars in the outer regions outside the Star Tomb appeared to be affected.

The demon with the lowest level of mastery was a third-level undying demonic soul stage demon. They were able to cultivate stars at that level, and it was natural that they had a deep understanding of the stars.

Yet, something happened that made them feel as if everything they knew was a lie. The group of great demons could faintly feel that the typical orbit and rotations of the stars were experiencing a subtle but real change.

That vast energy was channeled onto Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar as the golden claw continued to slash toward the black mist enveloping the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage – the thick layers of black mist were actually slashed apart, and they separated to reveal a shell-shocked Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

On the other side, the Zheng Yi Holy Man's body flickered with a mystical light that was unfathomable and incredibly sophisticated but was extremely powerful.

These light rays were calm and dull, and didn't appear intimidating at all but nobody could overlook its existence.

It was the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light, of the Great Void Nine Heavenly Spells!

This time, the rays of mystical light condensed in the left palm of the Zheng Yi Holy Man as he slammed it down toward the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. Wherever the light touched, the black mist surrounding the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage dissipated as the light rays locked on to the physical form of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

The thick layers of black mist continued to dissipate and revealed the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. At this point, he wasn't too far away from Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar as the latter was preparing to lunge forward once again.

Even though he was besieged, this powerful great demon made use of the thick black mist to give himself some breathing space and subsequently chose to retaliate in force to create an opening and escape the besiegement.

The only problem was that both Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man knew how to counter his spell, and the protective layers of black mist was no longer able to give the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage time.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage grunted once as his opponent was about to pounce on him once more. Several stars lit up within the layers of black mist that enveloped his body. The starlight merged together with the layers of black mist and transformed into streaks of black light that continued to circle around his body in an attempt to resist Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man's onslaught.

However, Lin Feng's attacks were never-ending like the waves in the oceans that crashed upon the shores as the Crucible of the Divine Lands and the Two Elements of Creation Formation stepped up once again.

The Crucible of the Divine Lands pressured downward to fix the position of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage as the Two Elements of Creation Formation was completely revealed, and was about to trap this great demon within.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage's eyes sparkled intensely. If he was sucked into the Two Elements of Creation Formation, he would be irrevocably imprisoned and he would face an uphill challenge to escape under the continued pressure from Lin Feng, the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Crucible of the Divine Lands.

At this point, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage suddenly opened his bloody mouth and laughed out loud.

Once his mouth was agape, streaks of light shot out from within – they were specks of irregularly shaped crystals that radiated with warm starlight. They were the star skulls that he had previously retrieved from the Star Tomb.

The bloodshot eyes of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage turned black once more as the rays of black light were shot onto the star skulls. Every star skull evaporated in an instant and were converted into streaks of flowing air.

The quivering Star Tomb quietened down, and the rotating stars appeared to stop in their tracks as well.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man was stunned momentarily before his pupils contracted in shock. "Downburst of the Starry Sea?!"

He withdrew his onslaught right away and flew backwards in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 1023: My Original Body Can't Be Here?

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man were going after the gate to the Starry Sea, and the Zhujian Grand Sage, the Peacock Grand Sage and the Qiongqi Grand Sage quickly realized what was going on.

They felt a wave of relief, as the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was holding off Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man and this gave them a chance to escape.

The Yellow Plains Dragon King's swiftly departed from the scene and even brought along the light sphere projected by the power of the gate to the Starry Sea.

The four-sided formation formed by the four gates to the Starry Sea lost a corner, and the Star Tomb immediately started to crumble. It wasn't just the high tower in the center of the hall – even the colossal palace began to collapse.

The four-sided pyramid on top of the tower started to close up again. However, a great many star skulls had been retrieved by the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, the Zhujian Grand Sage and others. Besides the Yellow Plains Dragon King who made himself scarce in a jiffy, the other great demons had a great harvest.

At this point, Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man had their sights locked on the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage's gate to the Starry Sea. The Zhujian Grand Sage, the Peacock Grand Sage and the Qiongqi Grand Sage were naturally preparing to retreat, and not a single one of them had the intention to help the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

The alliance to open the Star Tomb was originally a temporary endeavor anyway.

However, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage's abrupt decision to release all the star skulls he just harvested perplexed everyone.

"The Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Great Void Sect are targeting your gate to the Starry Sea. Even if you let go of all your star skulls, freedom can't be bought this way," the Peacock Grand Sage was baffled. "If you release control of your gate to the Starry Sea, the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Great Void Sect may actually fight among themselves. However, nothing will happen if you release your star skulls."

The Qiongqi Grand Sage and the Zhujian Grand Sage were equally confused. "Xuangang, don't think your release of the star skulls will change our minds and make us go back to retrieve them. Don't think you can use us to distract the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Great Void Sect!"

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage wasn't thinking about that at all. In reality, he never once took a glimpse at the Peacock Grand Sage and the other powerful demons.

His concentration was focused on the star skulls as the sparkling light in his eyes turned black and shot onto every single one. The star skulls all started to evaporate into streaks of air.

The Star Tomb that was in the state of collapse suddenly became completely silent.

As they watched what was happening, the Peacock Grand Sage, the Zhujian Grand Sage and the Qiongqi Grand Sage were dazed momentarily as a few bits of information surfaced in their minds.

They were great demons with solid foundations, and the demon races that they belonged to were once powerful races that reigned supreme over the Grand Celestial World and produced multiple powerful individuals over the course of history. Their ancestors had also passed down much information over the years.

The only thing was that some of the information were but rumors, and the Peacock Grand Sage and the other great demons were unable to prove them. This was the reason why some of these things were subconsciously ignored and lost in translation as the years went by. However, a single prompt was enough to dig out these rumors from the deep recesses of their memory.

For example, the Star Tomb was controlled by the Hades Tribe many years ago. However, ever since the Hades Tribe disappeared without a trace, the Star Tomb had never been opened till today.

It was the first time that the Peacock Grand Sage, the Zhujian Grand Sage and the Qiongqi Grand Sage were inside the Star Tomb, and it was the first time that they had seen and interacted with the Star Tomb. This was the reason why they were reminded of some things when the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage did what he did.

The dragons controlled the Black Sea of the Grand Celestial Seven Seas, and they could channel the power of the Black Sea to repel invasions.

Legend had it that if the three mountains of the Ying Sea ended up in a single person's hands, and that that person would be able to control the Ying Sea like the dragons could manipulate the Black Sea.

Every single one of the Grand Celestial Seven Seas had mystical and inexplicable powers, but were all formidably powerful.

However, the Starry Sea was dissimilar to the Spirit Sea, the Ying Sea and the Black Sea. Back in the day when the Human Emperor or the Holy Demonic Emperor was in control of the Starry Sea, they were able to make use of its other benefits but the Starry Sea couldn't be channeled to launch an offensive against a target like the other Celestial Seas such as the Black Sea or the Ying Sea.

This was the reason why the Crucible of the Divine Lands was able to hide itself inside the Starry Sea and remained undetectable from the Emperor of the Dead, from Emperor Gu and even from the Emperor of Violence that came after him. When the demons eventually took over the Ancient Desolate Galaxy, the Crucible of the Divine Lands was pretty much in hibernation and nothing much happened despite everything.

Still, there was nothing absolute in the world. The Starry Sea wasn't completely devoid of dangers and it wasn't completely without destructiveness or offensive capabilities. The only thing was that the destructiveness contained with the Starry Sea was not controllable like that of the Black Sea and the Ying Sea.

When the Starry Sea erupted, it was an uncontrollable kind of eruption and the source of this calamity was the Star Tomb!

This information was available to the Peacock Grand Sage and the other great demons, but they were a little unsure of how the downburst of the Starry Sea was triggered.

Ultimately, the information passed down by their ancestors were plentiful but not a single individual managed to ascend to the status of demon emperor and not a single person was completely in control of the Starry Sea.

However, they watched the actions of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and realized that they were in the Star Tomb after all. No matter how slow or how dense they were, all of them quickly recovered and realized what was going on.

The great demons were already in the outer areas of the battlefield, and they quickly flew out of the collapsing Star Tomb at a moment's notice and hoped to put as much distance between themselves and this place as possible.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man hadn't been inside the Ancient Desolate Galaxy before either. However, he had been in the Great Void Sect for a long time after all and the information recorded in the archives were very comprehensive. This was the reason why he knew what the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was doing as soon as it happened.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage snarled at Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man. After crushing the rest of the star skulls in his possession, he howled into the sky and released a small stone shaped like a cartridge clip.

Once this stone appeared inside the Starry Sea, light patterns were released explosively and gave off a terrifying aura.

This small stone projected a figure that looked like a white-colored ape that was able to walk on two legs. He looked simple enough, but his aura was petrifying yet inexplicable, and he was erected between the void yet seemed like he didn't exist in the same world.

The brutal and violent energy coexisted with the other strain of sinister but unpredictable energy. The two contradicting sources of energy existed with seamless harmony, and sent others into a haze of terror.

No special characteristic was required as everybody on scene could recognize this blue-eyed white ape to be the one of the three most powerful demonic emperors to roam the Grand Celestial World and dominated the Antiquity Age and the Middle Age – the Emperor of Extremity, Shenyuan.

The Extreme Spiritual Divine Monkeys had produced powerful individuals throughout the course of history, but only the Emperor of Extremity had such a frightening aura. Even though it was only a light projection, it was enough to instill fear in everyone's hearts.

The Emperor of Extremity perished and caused the entire tribe of Extreme Spiritual Divine Monkeys to decline as well, and the leadership of the Ancient Ape Demons returned into the hands of the Heavenly Demon Apes, but the Emperor of Extremity left behind many things for his successors – besides Mount Lingyuan itself, there were other treasures that were passed down to his kinsmen.

The small stone in the hands of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was such an item that was passed down by the Emperor of Extremity.

The stone drifted in mid-air and suddenly exploded and the Star Tomb that stopped in its collapse and the Ancient Desolate Galaxy, which appeared like it was in a state of tranquil silence, followed the detonation and trembled with increasing vigor and violence.

The hostile gaze of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage swept over Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man. His eyes went through the Zhujian Grand Sage, the Peacock Grand Sage, the Qiongqi Grand Sage and even Shi Tianhao, Wang Lin, the Xuan Lin Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou.

His eyes turned blue and the stone that just blew apart in midair flashed with blue light that complemented the blue light that sparkled in his eyes.

The entire Star Tomb imploded and collapsed as the starlight from uncountable numbers of stars became turbulent and came from all directions and condensed together with the Star Tomb as the focal point.

The frightening sight made it seem like the innumerable stars in the sky exploded all at once. Thousands and millions of starlight disappeared at the same time before they collapsed into a singularity.

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows. During the contest for the Three Mountains of the Ying Sea, he had used the Penglai Celestial Mountain to crash against the Great Zhou Empire's Fangzhang Celestial Mountain before and triggered an illusory tide that consumed the entire Southern region of the Ying Sea. However, the explosive force released during that incident was nothing compared to this downburst of the Starry Sea.

This change was focused on the region surrounding the Star Tomb and the area of effect was highly limited. However, this made the explosive nature of the calamity even more terrifying.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage snickered as another small stone flew out of his mouth. This stone emanated with blue light once more, but was used to protect himself to ensure his safety in the starry sky that was raging and detonating at this point.

He was unable to direct the explosive energies of the downburst, and he was also in the area of effect. However, with the power of the item passed down by the Emperor of Extremity and his own powers, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was able to protect himself after incurring this turbulence in the Starry Sea.

A giant gate appeared behind him, and the doors to the gates started to open.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage snickered once more and said, "Weren't you going for my gate to the Starry Sea? Let's see if you can stay alive first."

The Zheng Yi Holy Man gave up his offense on first notice, and this meant that Lin Feng became the individual closest to the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, which happened to be the closest to the center of the Star Tomb.

Lin Feng knew nothing about the situation regarding this downburst in the Starry Sea. However, judging from the actions of the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the multiple things happening around him, he was quick to come to his senses and realized what was going on.

The corner of his mouth twisted a little as he thought to himself, "This is why I keep saying that the collection of information and intelligence is imperative. Others could dig a hole in front of you, and yet you wouldn't be able to recognize it and continue thinking it's just flat ground."

Lin Feng glanced at the Zhujian Grand Sage, the Peacock Grand Sage and the Qiongqi Grand Sage. All three powerful demons were not having a good time either. Even though they escaped into the outer regions of the area of effect, they still experienced ripples, except they were in the outer regions and they had it a lot better than Lin Feng did.

The power of the downburst only became stronger the closer it was to the epicenter, which was the center of the Star Tomb; it was also an exponential increase instead of a linear one.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man withdrew in time, but his situation was a lot worse than the Peacock Grand Sage and the others. He was trying to protect the Xuan Lin Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou as he focused on his efforts with a gloomy look on his face.

A light shadow shimmered above the top of his head – it was shaped like a circular mirror and enveloped all three of them within.

Their distance away from the center of the Star Tomb was all because of his decisiveness, so the pressure they experienced was a lot smaller.

Lin Feng nodded his head, "The foundations of old sects are reflected in the details."

The Thunder Dragon Avatar swung his claw as Lin Feng's gate to the Starry Sea appeared beside him. However, he pushed the opening and quickly discovered that he was unable to open it.

The explosive starlight in the immediate vicinity arrested the ability of the gate to the Starry Sea.

"You dare to attack me – your two avatars and the rest of your disciples will all die here!" The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage snarled with mocking laughter. The reason why he could open his own gate to the Starry Sea was with the help of the things left behind by his ancestor. If not for that, he would be stuck in this downburst as his own gate would be sealed off as well.

Lin Feng ignored his words as his brows creased into a frown. "Hm, the explosive power of the Starry Sea is too concentrated and they are not even in the same world – will the Dual Dimension Vacuum Charm be affected?"

Chapter 1024: Lin Feng's First Failure?

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar flew around as the Avatar of Ares, Shi Tianhao and Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar were protected in the center by the gigantic body of the dragon.

The Avatar of Ares continued casting spells as the Two Elements of Creation Formation expanded in the air and increased in size.

The unpredictable and complicated formation patterns spun around in the sky and came together to form an enormous magic formation. At the center of the magic formation, forty-nine dots of light glimmered.

Below the position of the people from the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the Crucible of the Divine Lands radiated with light as if it was an entire world on its own with unrivaled beauty and glory.

Lin Feng's Avatar of Ares tapped lightly on the Two Elements of Creation Formation above his head and it immediately transformed into a blue sky as the Crucible of the Divine Lands below them chimed harmoniously, and swiftly transformed into a patch of earth.

As this makeshift heaven and earth appeared, the Zheng Yi Holy Man, the Xuan Lin Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou, all three elders of the Great Void Sect, watched on in awe.

The real Divine Lands seemed to appear right before their very eyes.

"This magic formation of his is strong enough to combat destiny-level magic treasures. The Crucible of the Divine Lands is able to as well, and the combined strength of both entities to form both heaven and earth – truly incredible." The Xuan Lin Holy Man commented as he witnessed the spectacle.

Cai Fengzhou nodded his head in agreement as he observed Lin Feng's position in the center of the downburst of the Starry Sea. Lin Feng was resisting against the crushing pressure from the collapse of the star tomb and the repetitive but explosive forces from the supernovas. He asked curiously, "Can he take it?"

The Xuan Lin Holy Man contemplated in silence but the Zheng Yi Holy Man was the one who responded. "He can't."

Both Cai Fengzhou and the Xuan Lin Holy Man turned toward the Zheng Yi Holy Man. His expression was calm, but his eyes grew a little sullen. "If his original body was here, he might have had some hope but that avatar along with the magic formation and the Crucible of the Divine Lands – I'm afraid he won't be able to take it."

"After a few more moments, he will be broken by the downburst."

The Xuan Lin Holy Man muttered to himself, "The last record of a downburst in the Starry Sea happened during the final years of the Antiquity Age, during that war between the worlds. During the war, the downburst of the Starry Sea was triggered, and the combination with other forces shattered the original inter-world passage that connected to the Ancient Desolate Galaxy, and separated it into six gates to the Starry Sea."

Cai Fengzhou stared at Lin Feng. "Will he bring his original body here?"

The Zheng Yi Holy Man said, "The downburst is still in its peak. Whether or not the gate to the Starry Sea can be opened is hard to say. The fact that Xuangang can open his own gate must have something to do with the treasures left behind by the Emperor of Extremity."

The Xuan Lin Holy Man looked up at the light of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror that loomed over them and frowned a little. "We can't let anything happen to the Crucible of the Divine Lands, and neither can we lose that gate to the Starry Sea. However, to break through this downburst, the power of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror has to be boosted and this will prolong its recovery."

"If we wait for the downburst to recede, the gate to the Starry Sea will probably still be intact, but it's likely the Crucible will be damaged."

The Zheng Yi Holy Man pondered momentarily and said, "We will wait."

The Xuan Lin Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou nodded their heads together as they heard his words.

This sudden and explosive downburst in the Starry Sea caught everyone off guard. However, the current situation wasn't too detrimental for the Great Void Sect.

The only uncertainty was whether Lin Feng's original body could descend into the Starry Sea. Yet, judging from the confident look on the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage's face, it wasn't hard to deduce that Lin Feng's gate to the Starry Sea was probably arrested and unable to open.

If Lin Feng's original body was unable to come, then the group from the Celestial Sect of Wonders were in trouble.

They had just obtained the Crucible of the Divine Lands, and before they could even do anything with it they would have to bid farewell.

Lin Feng's gate to the Starry Sea would probably be lost back inside the galaxy, and both the Great Void Sect and the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage wouldn't allow any quarter and vie for control over the gate before it opened again.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage grinned wryly at Lin Feng as he watched the company from the Celestial Sect of Wonders. They appeared as if they were in a small dinghy which was being attacked and about to be wrecked by the unforgiving waves in the vast ocean.

"You want my gate to the Starry Sea? Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, I'm afraid you have to leave behind your gate to the Starry Sea this time!" The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage opened his mouth and revealed a set of sharp teeth. "The Starry Sea belongs to the demons, and not a single human can control a gate!"

"Since you have backed me into a corner, I will let go of the star skulls I have just obtained to bury every single one of you here. I will take your gate to the Starry Sea to compensate for my losses."

The Zhujian Grand Sage, the Peacock Grand Sage and the Qiongqi Grand Sage were affected by the shocks from the downburst as well, but they were ultimately in the outer regions and their situations were a lot less perilous. All of them were still holding on, and they were trying their best to make their way out.

They watched Lin Feng and his disciples in the very center of the downburst with sadistic satisfaction.

They had plotted against them and attempted to steal their gate to the Starry Sea before this, and ended up almost getting killed instead. They were repelled with their tails tucked between their legs, and the three great demons were as frustrated as they were upset.

It wouldn't have been so irritating if Lin Feng's original body was here. However, those that entered the Starry Sea only comprised Lin Feng's two avatars and a few of his disciples.

In the end, the Six-Horned Grand Sage was murdered on the spot by the Two Elements of Creation Formation as the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage couldn't save him even though he tried his best.

The ferocious Sirius Grand Sage also suffered serious injuries as Lin Feng gouged out one of his eyes.

The Zhujian Grand Sage was also forced to use his trump card technique against the Two Elements of Creation formation and this consumed a great deal of his mana and energy.

Ever since he joined under the wing of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, he had a been a lot more low-profile. However, he had never been much of a kind person and his notoriety was widespread in both the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses as he was known for his taste for massacre and death.

His natural talent was insidious, and anybody injured by his demonic arrow would likely perish on the spot. Even if the victim survived, the injury would take a long time to recover – if at all.

This was the reason why some opponents who were stronger than him were unwilling to give everything to avoid coming into contact with his demonic arrows.

He hadn't been doing much outside in recent years, but the Zhujian Grand Sage was used to being the dominant one.

The Sirius Grand Sage, who was also under the command of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, would usually concede to him.

Despite all this, he was just thrown out by Lin Feng and his disciples like he was nothing and he ended up running away like a coward – how could this not infuriate the Zhujian Grand Sage?

At this point, the Zhujian Grand Sage watched Lin Feng as his single eye sparkled with sinister light. He ground his teeth together incessantly and said, "You think you can live beyond today, leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders?"

If not for the fact that the downburst in the Starry Sea shattered the void and didn't allow other forces to interfere, the Zhujian Grand Sage would have prepared his demonic arrows and he would have attacked Lin Feng and his disciples along with the pressure from the downburst.

The Peacock Grand Sage and the Qiongqi Grand Sage worked together against the power of the downburst as they monitored the situation with the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

"Good! Very good! We failed to eliminate you guys in the Sea of the Northern Wind. Here in the Ancient Desolate Galaxy, we want to see how you can survive!" The Qiongqi Grand Sage felt as if today's mood was the best in recent years.

If there was one thing he regretted, it was the fact that the downburst in the Starry Sea was triggered by the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and not by him, and that he wasn't able to destroy Lin Feng and the others with his own hands. This made him feel like there was more excitement to be had, but sorely missed.

"That's just one of his avatars. The destruction of his avatar won't affect his original body," the Peacock Grand Sage glanced at the Qiongqi Grand Sage from the corner of his eye and said, "Still, it's a good thing if we can set him back like that. He's been truly outrageous in recent years."

He was arrogant and his attitude was similar to that of the dragons. Same as the others, he had been thinking about his recent defeat at the hands of Lin Feng and his disciples.

The Qiongqi Grand Sage opened his mouth and snarled. "Even if it's just an avatar, the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders will experience an unprecedented defeat and setback. Furthermore, even though his original body is here, many of his disciples are present."

"This person is known to protect the weak and for his excessive love for his disciples. If they all perished here today, he will be devastated and this pain is much more satisfying than the elimination of his two avatars!"

"This is what will please me the most! Ha ha ha ha!"

The Zhujian Grand Sage and the Peacock Grand Sage nodded their heads. "You're right. His eight direct disciples can be said to be his flesh and blood. Even if one of them gets injured, the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders will be affected anyway."

The Qiongqi Grand Sage glared at Lin Feng and Shi Tianhao and Wang Lin beside him. He gritted his teeth and said, "The power of the heaven and earth formed by the magic formation and that magic item is quite powerful. They might be able to resist the power of the downburst, but I don't believe they can hold out indefinitely."

"The more powerful his defensive spells are, the better. This will mean that when he's dead, he wouldn't be completed ravaged by the downburst of the Starry Sea, and after the explosion recedes, we will be able to consume their flesh and essence – that shall be so wondrous and nutritious!"

The fur on the porcupine-like back of the Qiongqi Grand Sage stood up as his eyes were filled with evil and greed.

And so, the Two Elements of Creation Formation and the Crucible of the Divine Lands formed the makeshift Heaven and Earth under the scrutiny of everyone else. Even such an immense force began to quiver under the intense and continuous pressure of the downburst and the supernovas, as if it could fall apart at any moment.

The individuals from the Great Void Sect were protected by the Supreme Heavenly Mirror. Even though they were closer to the center than the demons were, they could still hold on.

The resistance of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was weakening, and the Zheng Yi Holy Man, the Xuan Lin Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou focused their attentions on the company smack in the middle of the downburst.

Cai Fengzhou lowered his voice and said, "The Great Zhou Empire shared intelligence that he has a strange stone that can break through the dimensional barriers and through the inter-world passages. I wonder if he brought it into the Starry Sea?"

The Xuan Lin Holy Man replied from the side. "It is still unclear whether it can be used in an environment like the downburst. If it's functional, he will have a chance to survive – however, ever since the rise of the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, he has never experienced a great setback of some sort and this defeat will humiliate him."

"Furthermore, whether or not he can take back the Crucible of the Divine Lands and his gate to the Starry Sea is another issue altogether."

The defensive wall formed by the Two Elements of Creation Formation and the Crucible of the Divine Lands shuddered and trembled even more violently than before. The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage laughed wickedly from under the protection of the blue lights and said, "Your disciples killed some of Yun Guang's kinsmen, and I haven't been too particular about that. Now you think the Ancient Ape Demons can be bullied, and now you've murdered Yun Guang himself."

"If I can't attain justice for the Six-Horned Divine Monkeys as their tribe leader, then what right do I have to continue being the leader of the entire race of Ancient Ape Demons?"

Lin Feng hadn't been paying attention to the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage as he was focused on channeling stream after stream of mana to interact with the downburst of the Starry Sea.

As he heard this exclamation from the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, he suddenly turned around and chuckled, "After today, you will no longer have the right to be their tribe leader. Do you want some time to think about who is suitable to be your successor?"

Chapter 1025: Who Says I'm Leaving? Everything Has Just Begun!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Ancient Ape Demons comprised many branches that included the Crimson Gorillas, the Extreme Spiritual Divine Monkeys, the Six-Horned Divine Monkeys, the Nine Netherworld Ghost Monkeys and the Heavenly Demons Apes, etc.

The branches were not all on friendly terms. For instance, the Nine Netherworld Ghost Monkeys were at odds with the Crimson Gorilla Ape Demons.

When Lin Feng and Shi Tianhao encountered the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage during their expedition into the Barren Expanses years ago, the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage was already aware that Shi Tianhao murdered some disciples of the Six-Horned Grand Sage but he wasn't too hostile about the fact.

However, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage had no choice as he was the tribe leader of the entire race of Ancient Ape Demons, and he had to seek justice for his entire race.

Furthermore, the Six-Horned Grand Sage had always been his loyal subordinate and it was only natural that he would attempt to find justice for the Six-Horned Grand Sage.

Some ape demons were already dissenting and were disapproving of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage's lack of action the last time Lin Feng was inside the Barren Expanses.

However, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was revered and highly respected, so the negative emotions displayed by his subordinates quickly dissipated.

The prowess Lin Feng displayed in his battle against the Golden Cicada Master and the Earth Dragon King silenced the demon monkeys. Furthermore, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage's pursuit of the Golden Cicada Master wasn't completely futile and benefited a great many of his kinsmen.

However, the death of the Six-Horned Grand Sage by Lin Feng's hands in the Ancient Desolate Galaxy right in front of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage humiliated him.

The Six-Horned Grand Sage was the tribe leader of the Six-Horned Demon Monkeys, and he was also as the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage's right-hand man. At the same time, he was also a powerful demon in the third-level undying demonic soul stage.

A powerful individual from his race was murdered by Lin Feng – how could this not infuriate the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage?

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage held himself back in the plot against the dragons, but when Lin Feng and the Zheng Yi Holy Man chose him as their target, he lost his cool and eventually triggered the downburst of the Starry Sea without hesitation.

His position inside the downburst was as close to the center as Lin Feng was. Even with the treasure left behind by the Emperor of Extremity, his safety wasn't guaranteed but the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was ready to take the risk in order to retaliate against Lin Feng.

Before this, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage had never entered the Star Tomb before and he had never experienced the downburst of the Starry Sea. There was no way he could verify whether the item left behind by the Emperor of Extremity could protect him or not.

He felt extremely fortunate, even though he was treading on thin ice, that the treasure passed down from the Emperor of Extremity was enough to protect him inside the downburst and his gate to the Starry Sea was still functional.

The only problem was that the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage didn't dare to make another move and there was no way he could launch an assault, and could only watch on as the downburst beat down upon the company from the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

In the end, the downburst didn't let him down. It resembled all the stars in the universe which were raining down repeatedly upon the combined defenses set up by Lin Feng's Two Elements of Creation Formation and the Crucible of the Divine Lands. The seemingly impregnable force was already quivering, and it was crumbling.

Once this layer was broken, Lin Feng would probably be able to support himself for a few moments longer. However, Shi Tianhao, Wang Lin and the others would never be able to protect themselves against such an unrelenting and immense force of nature.

Cai Fengzhou turned towards the Zheng Yi Holy Man. "Senior Uncle, should we help him?"

The Xuan Lin Holy Man said coldly, "The downburst of the Starry Sea is still in its peak. If we extend our aid, we will simply drag the recovery of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror. We can help him, but he will have to give us the gate to the Starry Sea and the Crucible of the Divine Lands in exchange."

The Zheng Yi Holy Man said nothing. Under the dome of light reflected off the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, he made a probing step towards the center of the Star Tomb.

He made just one step. However, his actions fell into the eyes of both Lin Feng and the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. Xuangang's bloody eyes sparkled with hostile lights.

Even though nothing was being said, Lin Feng understood the Zheng Yi Holy Man's intentions.

He glanced at the Zheng Yi Holy Man before he withdrew his gaze and made no attempt to respond.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man's expression returned to normal and his eyes grew deep and profound but did nothing else. He began to meditate and silently waited for the downburst to calm down before he would engage in a furious competition with the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage to claim the gate to the Starry Sea that would soon be without an owner.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage saw everything and took him only a tiny moment to understand what was going on. Relief surged from the bottom of his heart as he said, "Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, you still wish to hold on to the end? Such arrogance! Nobody can save you!"

"You killed Yun Guang, so I will eliminate these two avatars of yours!"

"You have doted upon your disciples, so I will kill them all right here!"

Even though the Two Elements of Creation Formation and the Crucible of the Divine Lands came together to form their own Heaven and Earth, the collapse under the assault of the starlight became increasingly obvious and apparent. Lin Feng's expression was still calm, and he still had the spare energy to send out stream after stream of mana to interact with the chaotic downburst of the Starry Sea.

He tried his best to understand the transformations and the intricacies inside the downburst. Even though it was brutal, violent and disorganized, Lin Feng managed to grasp and understand some of the delicate changes within.

He listened on to the antagonizing words of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage before he turned around and chuckled, "It's not that nobody can save me – I don't need saving at all."

"It's a pity that you will realize today that you will no longer have the face to remain as the tribe leader of the Ancient Ape Demons."

"Shouldn't you be thinking about who your successor shall be, and about who's the most suitable? I think the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage is the optimal choice. Even though he hasn't been doing much in recent years, he must have been attempting the tribulations and breaking through to the Vipralopa Stage. With the flesh and essence of the Golden Cicada Master, I believe the process will be a lot smoother than otherwise."

Lin Feng laughed again and continued, "Once the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage reaches the Vipralopa Stage, he would have the qualifications to take over you. What do you think?"

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage's blood-red eyes widened as he glared at Lin Feng. He forced himself to retain his rationality and his cool as the treasure from the Emperor of Extremity was barely able to protect him. If he made any rash decisions or movements, the layer of blue light surrounding him could break and he would be pulverized by the force of the downburst of stars.

Still, Lin Feng was right and the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage was indeed pushing through to the Vipralopa Stage.

Five years ago, Lin Feng broke the Golden Hoop Incantation that was holding down the Monkey. The Monkey chased after the Golden Cicada Master and ended up severely injuring the latter. The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage pursued the pair and eventually harvested something from the death of the Golden Cicada Master.

The flesh and essence of the Golden Cicada Master was highly beneficial for demons attempting the tribulations, and the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage also shared some with the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage.

Even though this act threatened his own position, the ascension of the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage to the Vipralopa Stage was good for the overall strength of the Ancient Ape Demons and there was no point for the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage to hold back.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage himself possessed other powers and influence and even if the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage managed to reach the Vipralopa Stage, it was unlikely that he would be able to command the same things that Xuangang could and did.

However, under these particular circumstances, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was already indignant and Lin Feng's words felt extremely irritating.

Lin Feng said calmly, "Just think about it right now. If you manage to survive this calamity, you can return to the Barren Expanses to give away your status in no time at all. You can save so much time and energy."

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage snarled and said, "Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders – you still dare to speak so outrageously at this point?"

"I can return to the Barren Expanses as and when I want to," as he spoke, he tapped on the body of the gate to the Starry Sea beside him, "However, whether you can return to the Divine Lands is another story altogether."

"Or perhaps you don't care too much about these two avatars of yours? How about the disciples that you brought with you into the Starry Sea? Aren't you going to feel sad about the fact they're going to die with you inside this place?"

There was only mockery on Xuangang's face. "Perhaps you're trying to piss me off and cause me to lose my cool, so that I'd leave the protection of the blue light, so that I will die with you inside this downburst?"

"I have been angry this whole time. However, the sight of the overbearing and dominant leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders ending up in such a dire and desperate situation dispelled every ounce of my fury."

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage grunted coldly and smiled. "You don't' have to worry. I will watch the downburst destroy you, and then I will collect your remains and your gate to the Starry Sea."

Lin Feng looked up at the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and casted his eyes toward the Qiongqi Grand Sage, the Zhujian Grand Sage and the Peacock Grand Sage, who were all looking back at him with gloating eyes. Lin Feng glanced at the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the others before he shook his head faintly.

His eyes returned to the body of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and he said plainly, "Your ignorance isn't your fault. However, pretending to know when you don't is an extremely laughable thing to do. Ignorant people should just keep their mouths shut, because they will just embarrass themselves otherwise."

As he spoke, he flipped his palms and a jade stone appeared in his hands. It was translucent all over like a jewel. It was unassuming and appeared like a typical jewel stone, was the size of a goose egg and silently landed in the center of Lin Feng's palm.

The appearance of this stone caught the attention of the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the two others. "Is this the stone that break through dimensional planes that Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu spoke of?"

"Can he still create inter-world passages in the downburst of the Starry Sea?" Cai Fengzhou muttered under his breath, "If he's able to escape such a perilous situation, he can really be proud of himself, especially so when it's not his original body that's present."

The Xuan Lin Holy Man glanced at the Zheng Yi Holy Man and said, "Senior Uncle, we have to find a way to claim the Crucible of the Divine Lands and the gate to the Starry Sea."

Lin Feng stole a glimpse at the company from the Great Void Sect and murmured, "Seems like you guys recognize this item? It appears that Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu have told you a lot."

"The downburst of the Starry Sea has distorted void space to a great extent. Even this magic item may not have a hundred percent effectiveness in an environment such as this to create a stable inter-world passage from the Ancient Desolate Galaxy. However – who says I'm leaving?"

Lin Feng chuckled and continued, "I have to thank this downburst of the Starry Sea. From now on, everything has just begun!"

He slapped on the Crucible of the Divine Lands as purple energy rolled about inside. All of a sudden, brilliant starlight erupted from the tip.

Lin Feng growled as the Barrier-Breaking Stone released a formless and invisible energy that shimmered in between reality. This energy combined with the starlight unleashed by the Crucible of the Divine Lands, and Lin Feng channeled it onto the gate to the Starry Sea beside him!

The gate to the Starry Sea remained closed, but it started to quiver and tremble vigorously.

Lin Feng opened his palm once again. There was something else in the center of his palm – it was a remnant piece of a disc.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage's face turned black the moment this piece of the disc appeared in Lin Feng's hands.

This piece was obtained from a disc that belonged to the Golden Cicada Master. After it was shattered, the remnant pieces flew in all directions and one of them ended up in Lin Feng's hands.

And that circular disc was also a treasure left behind by the Emperor of Extremity. The Golden Cicada Master had used this treasure before to stir up the entire Lingyuan mountains!

Chapter 1026: Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Who Could Do What Others Couldn't

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Five years ago, in the Greater World, Lin Feng fought the Golden Cicada Master and the Earth Dragon King. At the time, he broke the Golden Hoop Incantation on the head of the Monkey, allowing the Monkey to break free from the restraints of the Golden Cicada Master. Following that, the Monkey bashed up the Golden Cicada Master till he was half-dead, and thus he had no choice but to flee for his life.

A wheel that the Golden Cicada obtained from the Emperor of Extremity, Shen Yuan, was also broken during that point in time. As the shattered pieces flew, they landed in the hands of Lin Feng, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

This wheel came from the same source as the Stone Shuttle that the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage used to cause a downburst at the Starry Sea. They both belonged to Shen Yuan in the past.

Although they were both treasures of Shen Yuan previously, this wheel was much stronger than the Stone Shuttle. Previously, the Golden Cicada Master exploited this treasure when the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage were not around to initiate the powers of the Lingyuan Mountains of the Ancient Ape Demon tribe.

When the broken piece of wheel landed in the hands of Lin Feng, he analyzed it for many years. Now, as he took it out, it started to emit streaks of golden light.

In void space, the golden light turned into a clear blue color.

It was neither blinding nor attention-seeking, but it could leave one petrified.

Although this wheel came from Shen Yuan too, it was different from the Stone Shuttle. It wasn't meant for specific use in the Starry Sea.

However, after the broken piece of the wheel started glowing, the depths of the downburst in the Starry Sea also started to shine with streaks of blue radiances.

At the same time, the blue Protective Treasure Light around the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, whichoriginated from Shen Yuan, also started to experience changes. The light began to concentrate towards the broken piece of wheel on Lin Feng's palm.

Lin Feng summoned the Crucible of the Divine Lands to spurt our starlight and combine with the Barrier-Breaking Stone that he possessed. After that, they were concentrated above the door to the Starry Sea.

The Protective Treasure Light was also added above the door to the Starry Sea.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was furious. He opened his mouth and spat out something that emitted a golden light. It was a piece of the broken wheel. He supplemented this broken piece of wheel with his demonic powers, stalling the outflow of the Protective Treasure Light around him.

"Lin Feng, you deserve to be killed!" The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage roared in fury as he saw the broken piece of the wheel in Lin Feng's palm, sounding ready to kill.

However, while he was able to prevent the Protective Treasure Light from flowing away, he could not stop Lin Feng from hooking the blue radiance from the downburst in the Starry Sea.

"Although this catastrophe is initiated by Shen Yuan's treasure, the downburst in the Starry Sea has already begun. Even if the power of the treasure is summoned, it can't stop the downburst or make it weaker. You are wasting your effort."

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage said coldly, while summoning his own demonic powers as well as the power of the broken piece of wheel to communicate with the blue radiance in the downburst in the Starry Sea.

He was doing this to disrupt Lin Feng, and not to weaken the downburst.

Once the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage intercepted the blue light, Lin Feng's hooking action of the same blue light would only have minimal effect.

Although he did not know what Lin Feng's intentions were, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was clearly aware that thwarting his enemy's plan was what he had to do. Hence, he did not simply watch what was happening , but took decisive action to prevent Lin Feng from achieving what he wanted.

Seeing this, Lin Feng smirked. He was not bothered by what the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was doing, as he had placed his full focus into what he was doing.

The blue light, starlight in the Crucible of the Divine Lands and power of the Barrier-Breaking Stone were all added above the door to the Starry Sea beside Lin Feng.

Although the door remained unopened, it started to jerk violently in void space.

Starlight continued to spill from the Crucible of the Divine Lands onto the top of the door. But in a lapse of concentration, it became unstable along with the Two Elements of Creation Formation and started to break down. Starlight then started to attack Lin Feng and the rest.

Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar flashed with radiance, and a miraculous power shook the Heavens and the stars above.

However, the force of the downburst in the Starry Sea was immense as it reached its peak. It was so immense that even Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar was unable to withstand it. Although he exhibited a secret spell, it seemed to be for nothing, as he tried his best to hold on.

The Two Elements of Creation Formation exhibited the changes of the Endless Extreme, aiding the Thunder Dragon Avatar to resist the force of the downburst. But they were being pushed to the limit as time passed.

"Rise!" Lin Feng shouted and the Saros Steel Tree flew out. As it flashed with a golden-black radiance, it was converted into a barrier. This barrier blocked off the frightening attack of the starlight that came towards them.

In an instant, the bunch of them from the Celestial Sect of Wonders was in a perilous situation. It was as if they were like a small canoe that was stuck in a thunderstorm. As the next wave hit, they could be sent into the depths of the ocean immediately.

But Lin Feng's abnormal action left everyone, including the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, uncomfortable.

The spells in Lin Feng's hands kept on changing before they stopped suddenly. He pointed his right index finger at the door above the Starry Sea. At this instant, the door of the Starry Sea stopped shaking.

He did this while keeping his left hand straight like a spear. From top to bottom, his left hand chopped down towards the downburst in the Starry Sea.

This scene left everyone shocked.

As Lin Feng chopped down, there seemed to be an invisible power that separated the violent Starry Sea.

The destructive wave of starlight had been chopped at the center!

"How is this possible?!" The Xuan Lin Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou, the Zhujian Grand Sage, Qiong Qi Grand Sage and the Peacock Grand Sage were all stunned at this point.

If they did not know how powerful the downburst in the Starry Sea was in the past, they managed to get a first-hand experience of it today.

Precisely because they knew first-hand how devastating the downburst could be, they were even more appalled at what they saw. "Is the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders really able to do what others can't?"

The leader of the Ancient Demon Apes tribe, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, who was in the Vipralopa Realm.

The Supreme Elder of the Great Void Sect, the Zheng Yi Holy Man, who was also in the Vipralopa Realm.

Even for these two, the scene was miraculous, and they felt slightly lost as they wondered aloud, "how did he do this…"

Lin Feng's actual body did not arrive. The powers that he just exhibited were no different from the ones he had when he seemed to struggle, but the changes that it inspired were beyond everyone's expectations.

As everyone looked on, not having fully recovered from the shock, the downburst that was chopped into half started to be forced in opposite directions. As the downburst engulfed the entire place, it quickly drowned the entire Heavens and Earth.

"So its effect are only instantaneous…" Everyone was just thinking about this, before they discovered that while the downburst continued, an unmended hole was left in the ocean of starlight.

This hole distorted in the ocean of starlight, as if it was a long and unstable tunnel.

Inside this tunnel, Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar and Avatar of Ares dragged the door of the Starry Sea forward under the protection of the Two Elements of Creation Formation, Crucible of the Divine Lands and Saros Steel Tree.

From the Crucible of the Divine Lands, starlight was still spilling out and landing above the door to the Starry Sea.

The door remained closed, but bright light flashed above it. Countless, weird power concepts were revealed from within.

There was the starlight from the Crucible of the Divine Lands, miraculous powers of the Barrier-Breaking Stone, aura of the treasure of Shen Yuan and Lin Feng's own aura.

"The starlight was accumulated for many years as the Crucible of the Divine Lands was in the Ancient Desolate Galaxy…" As the Supreme Heavenly Mirror shone down, the Zheng Yi Holy Man commented. The Xuan Lin Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou stared at the miraculous scene that unfolded before them, not speaking for an extended period of time.

The tunnel was extremely unstable, as it distorted continuously amidst the brutal starlight.

But he was still unbothered by this. He even laughed and spoke to the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, "Thanks for this downburst."

Shi Tianhao and the others had already been protected by Lin Feng's powers. That's because his next target was the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage!

And because of the downburst in the Starry Sea, it was inconvenient for the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage to move around. Under the protection of the Protective Treasure Light, he did not dare to leave his spot recklessly!

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage looked at Lin Feng walking over and his face turned pale.

Now, with the downburst, Lin Feng could move around freely, and the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was the one who might be unable to unleash it all if they fought!

"Lin Feng, you sure are sly!" The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage said, before taking a deep breath.His gaze turned calm in an instant.

Without saying anything more, he turned around and burst towards the door to the Starry Sea beside him!

As he shot himself in the foot, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage got increasingly frustrated. He was brimming with fury inside, but as the situation had reversed against him, if he continued to resist, he would be placed in the extremely disadvantaged situation of being attacked by the downburst once Lin Feng destroys his Protective Treasure Light.

Without the treasure light, the door to the Starry Sea would be sealed due to the downburst. When that happens, he would have no room to escape anymore, and the others would be hot on his heels.

He would be left in a dire situation then.

No matter how furious or indignant he felt, he had to swallow his pride and focus on what mattered most now – escape.

"After today, I won't let this matter rest!"

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage entered the passageway of the door to the Starry Sea. After returning to the Barren Expanses, he sealed the door to the Starry Sea. No matter how the downburst raged after that, it had nothing to do with him anymore.

"Heavenly Grandmaster, I'vesaid before that after today, you'll be too embarrassed to continue to assume leadership in the Ancient Demon Apes tribe. Did you think that I was kidding?"

As one of his leg crossed the door, Lin Feng's voice rang behind him.

Lin Feng held onto the door to the Starry Sea, which shone with countless radiances. Different types of power concepts gathered and they attacked the treasure light around the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage's body along with the downburst in the Starry Sea.

The Protective Treasure Light lost its effect suddenly.

While the treasure light remained present, it did not react to the downburst or Lin Feng. It was as if it treated them as friends and allowed them to barge in.

"The door to the Starry Sea that belonged to the Ancient Demon Apes tribe has been lost, thanks to you. I wonder whether you'll have any face left to lead your tribe anymore?"

Lin Feng tapped on the Crucible of the Divine Lands, before crashing it down towards the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

Chapter 1027: Defeat the Heavenly Grandmaster, Kill the Qiong Qi!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

If there was only the suppression of the Crucible of the Divine Lands, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage wouldn't mind. The combination of the Crucible of the Divine Lands and the Two Elements of Creation Formation could still be handled by the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

With the Crucible of the Divine Lands, Two Elements of Creation Formation and Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage had to be cautious.

But the door to the Starry Sea was just beside him. If he did not want to fight and just wanted to escape, it would not be a problem.

But as the downburst came along with Lin Feng's attack, the expression of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage turned dismal as he realized that the downburst had no effect on Lin Feng.

He squealed and black light surrounded his body, trying to defend against Lin Feng's attack.

But as the downburst rushed over and attacked him, the black light around him became very unstable.

Lin Feng increased his powers and attacked the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage along with the downburst. This caused the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage to be battered badly as he fell back.

But the downburst did not just attack the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. As the door to the Starry Sea was slammed by the downburst, it started to shake violently and closed suddenly!

As the door closed, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage who tried to escape was squeezed in the passageway!

The immense powers of the boundary caused the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage to be stuck within the passageway. Because the door to the Starry Sea closed suddenly, the boundaries of space distorted tremendously.

This was a crevice caused by both the powers of the boundaries of the Greater World and Starry Sea. It was not just the distortion of one party.

Right in front of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, it was not just dark void space. On the contrary, it was an eye-blinding white light.

As he was stuck between two worlds, the tough soul and high cultivation of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage were still unable to take it. He screamed in pain.

His body also started to be twisted, as if it was about to be torn apart.

This was the result as the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was in the Vipralopa Realm. If he was only in the Cardinal Tribulations Stage, his flesh, bones and tendons would be numbed by the wicked distortion of the boundaries before being crushed.

What was even more heart-wrenching was that the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage could feel that his connection with the Starry Sea had been cut off.

Resisting the powers of the boundaries were already too much for the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. As he was hit by the downburst, he was further harmed.

At the last connection between the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the door to the Starry Sea, his mind flashed with an image.

This image left him even more furious and he almost spat out blood.

Lin Feng's Two Elements of Creation Formation was unleashed at this point, converting into a light screen. This door to the Starry Sea that belonged to the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was snatched away!

"Lin! Feng!" The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage roared. His demonic powers and flesh were pushed to their limits. Finally, he managed to squeeze out a hole in which he escaped through void space.

As the scene in front of him changed, the Lingyuan Mountains in the Barren Expanses appeared.

The demonic powers of the Lingyuan Mountains filled the sky, converting into a huge demonic monkey. As this monkey roared, it let out an aura of lawlessness.

Tremendous demonic powers collided against the crack in void space that the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage created. This caused the crack to widen for him. As he groaned, he leaped out from it and landed in the Lingyuan Mountains.

As black fog around him dispersed, the black fur of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage could be seen stained with blood.

Every pore and fur of his had a bead of blood on it.

The fierce look in the eyes of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage flashed and he took in a deep breath. All the blood was then sucked back into his pores.

But in the next moment, the beads of blood appeared again. They could not be contained and appeared to signify a graver injury that the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage had.

At the very end, all the openings on his body were marked by blood scars.

He looked up to the closing crack in void space and gritted his teeth hard.

His door to the Starry Sea had really been stolen!

At this moment, his fury reached the extreme. In the depths of his heart, he even felt bitter.

"The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage's door to the Starry Sea has been stolen?!" Right now, in the Ancient Desolate Galaxy, regardless whether it was the Great Void Sect or the demons, they were stunned as they witnessed this scene. They were at a loss of what to do.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man reacted the fastest. After Lin Feng managed to overcome the downburst and made his move on the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, he reacted immediately.

Although he found it unbelievable, he quickly calmed himself down. As he conjured a spell with his hands, a light projection appeared above him and advanced towards Lin Feng and the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

Even if he had to do this to get close to the center of the downburst, the Zheng Yi Holy Man could care less.

Since there was a door to the Starry Sea in front of him, he could not just let it past.

But Lin Feng was too quick. In an instant, he had already taken the door to the Starry Sea from the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

The door, which was sealed because of the downburst in the Starry Sea, rose amidst the brutal ocean of starlight.

Lin Feng dragged his own door to the Starry Sea and broke through the starlight, coming before the door that belonged to the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. After that, he dragged the door using his Two Elements of Creation Formation.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man rushed forward, trying to grab hold of the door to the Starry Sea, but he was late by a step.

Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar lifted his right golden claw, which collided with the palm of the Zheng Yi Holy Man. The Avatar of Ares clasped his hands together and the Two Elements of Creation Formation converted into a light spot, before flying back into his forehead.

"We may have the chance to work together in the future." Lin Feng said leisurely. After that, he patted his own door to the Starry Sea and broke open the downburst in the Starry Sea. In an instant, he had drifted far away. He was much quicker than the Zheng Yi Holy Man.

Although the downburst in the Starry Sea grew weaker after it reached its peak, the Zheng Yi Holy Man could only watch as Lin Feng went further and further away from him.

Lin Feng tapped on the waves of starlight to advance forward. Very quickly, he had arrived outside of the downburst in the Starry Se.

The Qiong Qi Grand Sage, Peacock Grand Sage and Zhujian Grand Sage who were gloating previously were entirely shocked.

Lin Feng looked at the three of them calmly and said, "Even if my actual body is not here, it's not that simple to ride over my head."

He looked at the Qiong Qi Grand Sage and smiled, "You seemed to reveal some ill-intention just now?"

"With regards to the Sea of the Northern Winds, I did not settle scores with you yet. Originally, I intended to leave you to Tianhao and the others. But it's your misfortune to see me today."

After he finished saying, Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar clawed towards the Qiong Qi Grand Sage.

The expression of the Qiong Qi Grand Sage changed and he did not dare to sloppy. He summoned the powers of the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation to its fullest immediately.

In the formation, nine light projections appeared at the same time. They surged with an immense power. Right now, in the messy Starry Sea, there were nine luminaries that flashed. They became brighter and brighter as they shone.

The Qiong Qi Grand Sage roared in fury, "Nine Luminaries Peak!"

The nine luminaries in the Heavens shone together. Right now, the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation were located among the stars. The powers of the luminaries became more and more cultivated, as gathered within the formation.

Under the control of the Qiong Qi Grand Sage, the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation stopped revolving suddenly. Following that, it revolved in the reverse direction and the entire formation started to break down!

Nine streaks of radiances shot in all directions, as if the nine luminaries had collapsed. An immense, distortion force in the opposite direction caused the formation to collapse, unleashing a shocking strength.

The Qiong Qi Grand Sage gave his all. He just wanted to resist Lin Feng, even if that meant sacrificing his formation.

But it was a pity that the downburst in the Starry Sea dissipated half of the power of the formation at the very start.

Lin Feng's Avatar of Ares slammed the Crucible of the Divine Lands and a suction force was unleashed from within the crucible. This suction force absorbed a majority of the power of the formation that had reversed its direction.

The Saros Steel Tree shook slightly in void space, resisting the violent thunderstorm.

The stature of the downburst was mighty. But once it retreated, it retreated quickly too. The center of it still maintained an immense destructive force, but the outer regions of it became weaker and weaker. The reversal of the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation also overcame much of the starlight too.

The Zhujian Grand Sage, Peacock Grand Sage and Qiong Qi Grand Sage focused their minds and tried to escape as quickly as possible.

With regards to the Zhujian Grand Sage and Peacock Grand Sage, Lin Feng was not too bothered. But his Thunder Dragon Avatar flashed with a radiance. As the huge dragon body moved, he had already arrived in front of the Qiong Qi Grand Sage. The Thunder Dragon Avatar resisted the shockwave of the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation and used his claw to grab hold onto the Qiong Qi Grand Sage.

The other claw of his then grabbed hold onto the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation.

The Qiong Qi Grand Sage screamed in horror and his body surged with starlight. He opened his mouth as he spat out black, stained water. Even the prickly fur on his body started to seep with black water, which fused with the starlight.

The starlight was dyed black by the water, revealing an evil aura from within. This aura wanted to violate the demonic powers of the Thunder Dragon Avatar.

The Thunder Dragon Avatar howled. Above a lightning formed from the intersection of crimson, yellow, green and blue color, black and white radiances flashed. As they exploded, they overcame the starlight around the Qiong Qi Grand Sage's body.

Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic Spell engulfed the body of the Qiong Qi Grand Sage and prevented him from moving. As he was held in place, the Qiong Qi Grand Sage felt as if his powers were slowly being degraded.

Not only were his demonic powers becoming weaker and weaker, the Qiong Qi Grand Sage also felt that his body was becoming weaker and weaker. His life also seemed to be getting further and further away from him.

"No!" The Qiong Qi Grand Sage let out an indignant roar, but it was stuck in his throat. Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar strangled the Qiong Qi Grand Sage with his claw, until he died!

In the sky of stars, the sounds of luminaries destructing rang out. But they were not really destructed. Rather, it was the sound of the bones and flesh of the Qiong Qi Grand Sage being crushed by the Thunder Dragon Avatar!

The Zhujian Grand Sage and Peacock Grand Sage turned back and only saw that in the brutal ocean of starlight, a huge, silver dragon was holding the battered Qiong Qi Grand Sage with one claw.

Both of them were extremely creeped out by this scene and escaped even more rapidly.

And behind Lin Feng, void space collapsed and spiritual energy filled the air. The Zheng Yi Holy Man appeared, but Lin Feng did not even turn back. He converted into the silver dragon form of the Thunder Dragon Avatar, which dragged the Four Appearances Two Elements Divine Thunder with its tail. In the sky of stars in the universe, this dragon swam around.

Chapter 1028: The Wealthy Bloats to Death, The Poor Starves to Death!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The downburst in the Starry Sea was weakening. With the help of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, the Zheng Yi Holy Man managed to chase Lin Feng down.

He stared at Lin Feng's back view and did not speak for some time.

Lin Feng did not turn back to look at him, the Xuan Lin Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou. He only said, "Once this matter is settled, I will return to the Divine Lands. Please excuse yourselves, my fellow cultivators."

He dragged the door to the Starry Sea that belonged to him and left the boundaries of the downburst. After that, he tapped on the huge door beside him lightly. The door to the Starry Sea opened to both sides. Lin Feng's Avatar of Ares and Thunder Dragon Avatar then brought the Crucible of the Divine Lands as they stepped into the door.

As the door closed slowly, the Zheng Yi Holy Man remained silent and did not say anything else much.

Lin Feng closed the door to the Starry Sea of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage forcefully, by tapping on the power of the downburst. But this was something that the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the others couldn't do.

Not to even mention that they did not have the ability to control the downburst, even if they could, Lin Feng would have disappeared far away by now.

Even if they tried to attack forcefully through using a part of the powers of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, they might not be able to achieve the desired effect.

The Xuan Lin Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou remained silent too. The two of them turned their heads to look at the downburst which had not settled down yet. At this instant, the two of them were not in the mood to speak.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man brought the Xuan Lin Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou as they left the boundaries of the downburst too.

The downburst surged with ferocity, but retreated with speed too. The starlight disappeared gradually and the Star Tomb that originated from the center of the downburst had ceased to exist by now.

The Star Tomb was formed by starlight and could not be seen normally. As the four doors to the Starry Sea combined, they were able to gather the starlight around to construct a huge palace hall, which enabled the Star Tomb to reveal its form.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man placed his hands behind his back and he looked at the vast sky of stars that regained normalcy slowly. His snow-white hair swayed in the wind and his calm gaze flashed a little. He was thinking of something.

Cai Fengzhou was silent and exhibited her powers. Chen Xingyun, Guo Chaoyang and the other disciples landed amidst the sky of stars.

"Cultivating in the Starry Sea and undergoing the Baptism of the Original Stellar Light is a rare opportunity. All of you must grab this opportunity." Cai Fengzhou did not say anything much and only instructed simply.

Chen Xingyun, Guo Chaoyang, Ding Runfeng and the others looked at one another. They did not now what happened at the Star Tomb. Since their elders did not mention, they were not pressed to ask either. After they greeted their elders together, they followed Cai Fengzhou's instructions and started to cultivate in this sky of stars."

Previously, before they entered the Small Divine Lands World formed by the Crucible of the Divine Lands, they had only just entered the Ancient Desolate Galaxy. The Zheng Yi Holy Man and the others felt the battle that was going on near the door to the Starry Sea around Lin Feng, thus they rushed over. The bunch of junior disciples were yet to understand the brilliance of the Starry Sea.

Although they were unsure of what's going on, they did not think too much either. They put their minds to their cultivations.

The mission that the Xuan Lin Holy Man designed and left for them earlier was like a huge rock that weighed down on their minds. They did not dare to slack off.

As they looked at the bunch of junior disciples cultivating seriously, the Xuan Lin Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou were comforted. But following that, they felt a sense of loss.

Only Chen Xingyu and this batch of disciples could be afforded this opportunity. The other disciples in the Great Void Sect missed out on this opportunity because of varying reasons.

For the rest of the junior disciples in the future, it was even worse.

Without the door to the Starry Sea, this was such an embarrassing scene.

Whereas for the Celestial Sect of Wonders, which had the door to the Starry Sea, they could enter anytime they wanted. Although the Starry Sea did not exactly belong to the Celestial Sect of Wonders, they possessed a stable pathway into the Starry Sea.

…More accurately speaking, they had two pathways.

As they thought of this, the Xuan Lin Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou were even more bitter.

This time, the Great Void Sect returned with almost nothing as they went into the Ancient Desolate Galaxy. They even made some losses.

To seize control of the door to the Starry Sea of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, the Zheng Yi Holy Man resisted the downburst as he advanced forward. He furthered his control of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, which could delay the recovery of the mirror.

Although it was not till a great magnitude, a slight delay could prove costly to the Great Void Sect.

If the Great Void Sect managed to sieve out some rewards, then it'd be fine. But eventually, they achieved nothing.

This was the reason why the Zheng Yi Holy Man, Xuan Lin Holy Man, Cai Fengzhou and the rest were feeling down.

The Xuan Lin Holy Man's voice was deep, as if he was saying something. It also seemed like he was mumbling to himself, "Celestial Sect of Wonders now control two doors to the Starry Sea…"

"Difficult!" Cai Fengzhou shook his head. After he said the word 'difficult', he stopped speaking.

When Lin Feng and the others had been trapped by the downburst and had yet to free themselves, the Great Void Sect should have tapped on the Supreme Heavenly Mirror despite the fact that it would have delayed its recovery. In that way, at least they would have a chance at obtaining the door to the Starry Sea.

But Cai Fengzhou was not in a position to comment on this. After all, the person who made the decision earlier was his elder, the Zheng Yi Holy Man.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man seemed to have realized that Cai Fengzhou had something else to say and he said, "It's my error. Fengzhou, you don't have to hold your words back."

Cai Fengzhou sighed, "In the end, no one could have predicted what happened. Under such a circumstance, Lin Feng was still able to emerge victorious. Otherwise, your decision would have been perfect."

He laughed bitterly, "It's just that we are still the losers in the end."

The Xuan Lin Holy Man said, "He possesses two doors now, thus he will be an enemy to all. Even if the demons don't find him, others from the human race will be watching him."

"Even the Great Qin Empire, Ancient Longevity World, Purple Clouds Sect, Royal House of the Northern Tribes and other great powers will be tempted to go against him…"

"The stronger the Celestial Sect of Wonders become, the pressure on the others will be greater. With us around, he can't just exert pressure on the others. And if he does not manage the situation well, he may be isolated."

Cai Fengzhou looked at him, "But if we look at things in the other way, if he manages it well, his powers will be boosted greatly."

"Wait…" Cai Fengzhou's expression changed and he looked at the Xuan Lin Holy Man. He saw the Xuan Lin Holy Man nodding his head and looked calm, "Right now, even if we borrow his door to the Starry Sea to combine with the Supreme Heavenly Mirror to search for the other doors, he may not agree. That's because this will determine his precise location through the other door that he holds."

"All these years, his rise was precipitated by the ability of Mount Yujing to remain hidden in void space."

The Xuan Lin Holy Man's gaze flashed with countless emotions before it returned to indifference, "But if he uses one door as a chip and entrusts it to someone, it will be a serious matter. But nothing is 100% in this world. In that way, we'll have more room to plan."

"After all, the foundation of our sec is strong, beyond what others can imagine."

Cai Fengzhou said, "Lin Feng may have thought of this point too. At most, he will confer the privilege to some to enter the Starry Sea. It's impossible that he will entrust the entire door to someone."

"After all, he is the one with the most doors at hand. He is adept at scheming and always rides his luck. There's no guarantee that he can't get his hands on all the doors. Just like what you said earlier, there's nothing 100% in this world."

The Xuan Lin Holy Man nodded his head, "Junior Cai, you are right. No one can always be contented. For those who got close to the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the same logic applies. The same goes for Lin Feng."

"There are countless treasures in the world. There are also those with similar value to the Starry Sea. Moreover, most deals don't happen because of the value of a treasure, but rather because of the demand for the treasure."

The Xuan Lin Holy Man said, "Now we know that Lin Feng is very ambitious."

After Cai Fengzhou heard his words, he nodded his head in silence. He then looked at the Starry Sea that had regained normalcy in front of him and continued to remain in silence.

With regards to the conversation that just ensued, the Zheng Yi Holy Man listened to everything, but he did not say anything or interrupt them. He remained calm as he looked at the Starry Sea.

"Lin Feng…" The Zheng Yi Holy Man thought, "What are you going to do next?"

Lin Feng was on Mount Yujing now and looked at the passageway in front of him. Both the Avatar of Ares and Thunder Dragon Avatar returned to the mountain.

Lin Feng unleashed his mana, causing Shi Tianhao, Wang Lin and the rest to land on the ground. The Great Sun Avatar of Zhu Yi also emerged from the Crucible of the Divine Lands.

Yue Hongyan, Li Yuanfang, Luo Qingwu and a bunch of junior disciples all revealed themselves. They all bowed towards Lin Feng.

"Greetings to Master."

"Greetings to Grandmaster."

Lin Feng laughed as he waved his hand, "I didn't let all of you experience the good of the Ancient Desolate Galaxy for good reason. Fortunately, the door to the Starry Sea is with me. All of you can enter at will."

The Thunder Dragon Avatar gestured and starlight appeared in front of everyone. On closer look, it was a crystal-like entity with undefined structure.

This was the treasure that only came from the Ancient Desolate Galaxy, the Star Skull.

The Qiong Qi Grand Sage was killed by him and the Star Skull that he possessed landed in Lin Feng's hands.

"Cultivate the Star Skull before cultivating in the Starry Sea. This will make things easier." Lin Feng laughed. Shi Tianhao and the rest also nodded their heads, "Thanks Master."

As compared to the Great Void Sect, the Celestial Sect of Wonders reaped bountiful rewards from the Starry Sea this time. The difference between the two sects was almost like one wealthy and one poor person. While the wealthy person was bloated to death, the poor person starved to death.

Besides the Star Skull, the door to the Starry Sea was undoubtedly the greatest reward that the Celestial Sect of Wonders reaped this time. The Crucible of the Divine Lands was yet another valuable treasure.

"Haha, this is good!" Xiao Yan surfaced. After he greeted Lin Feng, his vision landed on the Crucible of the Divine Lands. He rubbed his palms in excitement.

But who knew that when Xiao Yan got close to it, the magic treasure seemed to ostracize him.

Chapter 1029: Xiao Yan's Background

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

As the Crucible of the Divine Lands landed in the hands of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, its impact on the overall power of the sect was far-reaching.

As the number one pill cultivator in the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Xiao Yan would be the person who would use it the most even if he could not control it.

His talent in cultivating pills was immense, while he himself had a deep interest in doing it too.

Since his hobby and strength was the same thing, he was very fortunate.

That's why Xiao Yan was very interested in different types of crucibles. He was in the Celestial Golden Pavilion normally and all these years, he was the one who cultivated most of the pills in the Celestial Sect of Wonder. The Ethereal Heart Cauldron was probably the item that he specialized in using.

As the junior disciples grew older, Xiao Yan let them cultivate some of the lower-level medicine. Whereas he placed most of his focus on cultivating higher-level pills like the Spiritual Replenishment Elixir.

And as Xiao Yan's powers increased, his prowess in cultivating pills also became better. He was slowly reaching a bottleneck in his cultivation of pills.

The bottleneck was not because of his body, but because of external conditions. Right now, Xiao Yan met with the same situation as the Hundred Herbs Grandmaster. As his own cultivation of pills increased, the tools used in the cultivation were inferior to his skills.

The external conditions started to become the limiting factor in the cultivation of pills.

After forming the Immortal Soul, Xiao Yan started to realize that he needed to cultivate a magic treasure. A magic treasure that was used to cultivate pills.

During the Anti-Celestial Sect War, the Yan Heaven Crucible taken from the East Heaven's Gate was given to the Royal House of the Northern Tribes. Xiao Yan felt that it was a pity then, but after he thought it over, he realized that cultivating his own magic treasure seemed better. Thus, he became less and less regretful over the matter.

In these five years in the Greater World, Xiao Yan had an outline of the cauldron he wanted to cultivate. But he still lacked some materials.

He could not use other materials to replace these materials either. However, it was difficult to achieve the perfect combination.

And right now, the Crucible of the Divine Lands landed in the hands of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Xiao Yan was naturally excited because of this.

No matter how good the magic treasure he cultivated was, it would have to start from the gestation realm. How could it compare to this Crucible of the Divine Lands, which was in the destiny realm?

The strongest magic treasure to cultivate pills in the Divine Lands was indeed as powerful as it sounded.

That's why, Xiao Yan should be the most excited person as the Celestial Sect of Wonders obtained this treasure.

Right now, he was like Shi Tianhao and Tuntun when they saw delicacies.

But too bad he was disappointed. When he got closer to the crucible, the crucible actually resisted his presence.

Although the original soul of the crucible did not exhibit any obvious thought processes or emotions, its spiritual energy subtly ostracized Xiao Yan, which was witnessed by many.

Lin Feng thought, "This crucible did not ostracize the Zheng Yi Holy Man so intensely, but now…"

As if someone poured cold water on him, Xiao Yan was stunned as he looked at the crucible. He did not know what to do at this point.

"Master, did I offend it before?" Xiao Yan turned to look at Lin Feng, as he revealed a bitter smile.

Lin Feng replied, "Regarding this, I'm not too sure either…"

He waved his hand and allowed Tang Jun, Yang Tie and the other junior disciples to retreat first. He kept Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao, Zhu Yi and a few others.

After that, Lin Feng tapped his finger lightly and a streak of mana projection appeared in mid-space.

This projection revealed an image that kept on changing. This was the remnant of the light projection that Lin Feng saw as he contacted the Crucible of the Divine Lands.

Besides Wang Lin, it was the first time the others witnessed the shocking War of the Two Worlds during the Antiquity Age.

As everyone saw the scene where Emperor Xia perished, they sighed. After all, he was assassinated, and his cause of death was only revealed at this age. It was such a pity.

Whereas the brutality of the Emperor of the Dead left everyone petrified. Although he disappeared since the Anti-Celestial Sect Wonder, he could not be underestimated.

Yue Hongyan creased her brows, "Ruthless, yet patient."

His powers had already surpassed Emperor Xia, but he remained hidden. Many at that time didn't even realize he was that powerful.

He kept himself hidden until Wen Chiyang died. Only when the Supreme Heavenly Mirror was damaged did he reveal himself.

It was fine if he did not attack. But once he attacked, he wanted the lives of the Emperors of Man.

"The person who injured Emperor Xia previously, who is he?" After sighing, Xiao Yan and the others had the same question.

Even if Emperor Xia was not hurt, he was not the match of the Emperor of the Dead without the Crucible of the Divine Lands. But if Emperor Xia was in his peak state, he might be able to escape if he was subjected to a surprise attack.

Everyone turned their attention to Wang Lin and Wang Lin shook his head, "The person who killed Emperor Xia is the Emperor of the Dead. But the injuries of Emperor Xia previously did not seem to be inflicted by the Emperor of the Dead."

Shi Tianhao nodded his head, "That's true. If the Emperor of the Dead was the one who did it, Emperor Xia would have been alarmed. He wouldn't have given him a second chance to hurt him."

Zhu Yi remained silent as he pondered. After that, he looked up at Lin Feng. Lin Feng smiled, "Zhu Yi, what are your thoughts? You can share them."

"After all, we are just bystanders. We are not even there to witness what happened. Just by looking at this projection, I can sense that the power that hurt Emperor Xia seems familiar." Zhu Yi's brows raised and he said slowly, "It seems like it comes from the Great Void Sect…"

Xiao Yan, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao stared at the image in the projection and nodded their heads, "We think so too."

Yue Hongyan, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu were yet to form the Immortal Soul and were not as insightful as Xiao Yan and the others. After hearing what they said, they were stunned. Luo Qingwu was a little slow as she said, "If I did not remember wrongly, Emperor Xia was the closest to the Great Void Sect among all the Emperors of Man?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "You are right."

"However, through the long course of history, a lot of things will be hidden."

Lin Feng recalled that when he was vying with the Zheng Yi Holy Man for the Crucible of the Divine Lands, the crucible had a slight ostracization towards the Zheng Yi Holy Man.

Besides, the Zheng Yi Holy Man and Xuan Lin Holy Man might have been surprised at the plan to assassinate Emperor Xia by the Emperor of the Dead, but they were definitely cognizant of Emperor Xia's injury.

Right now, as he saw the crucible's resistance against Xiao Yan, Lin Feng corroborated it with some news he had at hand and made a guess which formed a complete clue.

"The Great Void Sect was not extremely close-knit in the past." Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar said. Because of Meng Bingyun, who was his mother, Zhu Yi was able to obtain clear information about the Great Void Sect.

Zhu Yi continued, "During then, someone exceptional appeared in the Great Void Sect. He was Wen Chiyang, one of the Four Immemorial Heroes of the Great Void Sect. There was a rumor that he fell out with the sect and left Mount Baiyun. After that, he remained discreet and did not interact with the Great Void Sect apart from the War of the Two Worlds."

"Even till today, a lot of information regarding him has disappeared. It's very difficult to understand what happened in the past. He has also become the most mysterious figure among the Four Immemorial Heroes, apart from Yue Huatian. I deduce that the Great Void Sect is intent on diluting any news regarding him."

Xiao Yan remained silent. In the depths of his gaze, something seemed to be flashing.

Lin Feng looked at him and said, "Do all of you know how Shen Yuan perished?"

Everyone nodded their heads. With regards to this demonic monkey, everyone understood what happened to him.

Shi Tianhao replied, "During the Antiquity Age, Shen Yuan dominated the world. After that, he went to Mount Baiyun during the War of the Two Worlds to challenge the Great Void Sect. Wen Chiyang returned to his sect to fight Shen Yuan alongside the Supreme Heavenly Mirror. Eventually, Wen Chiyang perished, the Supreme Heavenly Mirror was heavily damaged and Shen Yuan was also critically injured."

"After the battle, Shen Yuan disappeared and even abdicated as the Holy Demonic Emperor. He only reappeared at the end of the Antiquity Age. Although he has yet to recover to his peak state, he still managed to ascend to the throne as the Holy Demonic Emperor again."

Wang Lin continued, "During the War of the Two Worlds at the end of the Antiquity Age, because of Shen Yuan's re-appearance, the demon clan achieved victory. The Ancient Desolate Galaxy was also reclaimed back by the demon clan and the Middle Ages started."

"After that, during the Middle Ages, Shen Yuan restored to his peak state and even seemed to become even stronger. Another War of the Two Worlds occurred and Shen Yuan entered the divine Lands. Fortunately, the Supreme Heavenly Mirror had restored to its peak state once again, which prevented Shen Yuan from dominating once again."

"As the Supreme Heavenly Mirror challenged Shen Yuan…" Xiao Yan's deep voice sounded, "The Netherworld Sea opened suddenly and descended in the Divine Lands, which seemed to signify the apocalypse."

"Amidst this disaster, a human figure surfaced and used the suppression of the Netherworld Sea to combine with he Supreme Heavenly Mirror, eventually leading to the death of Shen Yuan!"

Xiao Yan remained calm and his tone of voice was indifferent, "Eventually, Shen Yuan died and the Supreme Heavenly Mirror was hurt heavily once again. The Netherworld Sea retreated and the human figure was crushed."

He lifted his head and ran his gaze across everyone, "There are actually a lot of weird points regarding Wen Chiyang's death. The biggest question is that his corpse was never found like Emperor Xia."

"Because of that war during the Middle ages, there was even a news in the Divine Lands that spread that the human figure that appeared was Wen Chiyang. He dragged the power of the Netherworld Sea into the Divine Lands to complete the fight he had with Shen Yuan that he did not finish previously. He bled for the last time for the Divine Lands."

Xiao Yan pursed his lips, "But it's just that figure could not be recognized and eventually perished with Shen Yuan. The figure left no words or news behind, thus he could never be identified."

"The only entity that could prove his identity is the Great Void Sect, but they remained very mysterious about his identity. This left everyone confused and they could not determine whether he was Wen Chiyang."

Xiao Yan took in a deep breath and looked at Lin Feng, "Master, the person who hurt Emperor Xia, is he Wen Chiyang?"

"And…am I related to Wen Chiyang?"

Chapter 1030: Marriage Can Be Considered

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

After obtaining some news, Xiao Yan made a guess, even though there were still many things that he was not privy to.

Of course, a guess was only a guess. Whether it was right or wrong still had to be proven.

Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao, Yue Hongyan, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu were all looking at their Eldest Senior right now and did not say anything much.

That was because they all had the same guess as Xiao Yan.

When Lin Feng challenged the Zheng Yi Holy Man for the Crucible of the Divine Lands earlier, the Crucible of the Divine Lands demonstrated a resistance towards the Zheng Yi Holy Man.

Although it was not too intense, the resistance did exist. There was no misunderstanding.

Ever since Emperor Xia perished, the Crucible of the Divine Lands had been hidden in the Ancient Desolate Galaxy. It did not encounter the Great Void Sect at all.

Thus, the resistance that it displayed must have originated before Emperor Xia perished. It was most likely related to the injury that Emperor Xia sustained after the Emperor of the Dead tried to assassinate him.

Regardless whether it was Lin Feng, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi or the rest, they could feel that Emperor Xia's injury had something to do with the Great Void Sect. Owing to the fact that he shared a good relationship with the Great Void Sect, the greatest suspect remaining could only be Wen Chiyang.

As to more insider news, Lin Feng and the others were unaware. Of course, if Wen Chiyang developed ill-intentions like the Emperor of the Dead, it was much easier for him to kill Emperor Xia as compared to the Emperor of the Dead.

Before Emperor Xia perished, Wen Chiyang fought with Shen Yuan and was struck until he landed in the Netherworld Sea. Just like the critically injured Shen Yuan, he had no choice but to hide himself.

Of course, it was possible that Wen Chiyang was unable to free himself from the Netherworld Sea, until the Middle Ages when he recovered and gained control of the Netherworld Sea.

As to why he did not act much earlier and waited until Shen Yuan appeared in the Divine Lands, Lin Feng and the others were unsure. After all, whatever news that were left behind were scarce.

It could have been a coincidence or due to some other reason. All these couldn't be verified now.

Furthermore, whether it was Wen Chiyang who controlled the Netherworld Sea and worked with the Supreme Heavenly Mirror to kill Shen Yuan was still unconfirmed.

But Lin Feng, Xiao Yan and the others were inclined to believe that that person was indeed Wen Chiyang.

This also explained why the Great Void Sect could initiate the powers of the Netherworld Sea. And whatever relevant news that spread only came after the war during the Middle Ages.

As to the legacy within the Great Void Sect, outsiders were rarely clear about it. Lin Feng and his disciples did not know much either.

But if one could initiate the powers of the Netherworld Sea, he must have been from Wen Chiyang's line, which would verify some of their guesses.

Of course, there were many dubious concerns relating this too. For example, why was it only that Wen Chiyang's line of disciples were able to initiate the powers of the Netherworld Sea? What was the key to that?

Besides the Great Void Sect which had people who could initiate the powers of the Netherworld Sea, Xiao Yan was also related to the Netherworld Sea.

That was something he realized after he formed the Immortal Soul. But before then, there were signs too. It was the Nefarious Almighty Sword that had a connection to his mind.

Combining this with the fact that the Crucible of the Divine Lands also ostracized Xiao Yan, a clearer picture was formed.

After all, besides cultivating the Red Lotus Burst in the past, Xiao Yan did not have any other interaction with the Great Void Sect's mantras. Moreover, Xiao Yan's foundation was built on the legacy that Lin Feng left for him in the form of the Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtue.

Of course, there were still many loopholes in the guesses that they made.

But organizing all the clues that they had would give them a proper conclusion which seemed logical too.

The eldest disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Xiao Yan, could have been related to Wen Chiyang.

"Rein…carnation?" Xiao Yan's voice sounded very dry and he was neither excited nor sad. But he was a little confused.

He turned to look at everyone else and saw that they felt unbelievable too.

But they did not look at Xiao Yan in a different manner. This allowed Xiao Yan to heave a sigh of relief.

His gaze turned clear again and he placed his hands behind his back and smiled. After that, he revealed a smile on his face and made a joke, "Hehe, it seems like I have quite some background."

Xiao Yan laughed as his state of mind became stable. He controlled his own emotions and his confusion previously was wiped clean.

Regardless how he was in the past, he was now Xiao Yan. And his master was the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Lin Feng.

He had to walk his own path too right now. Whatever karma that he had to bear in his current life, he was willing to bear it. He was determined to overcome all obstacles that came towards it.

But it was not for the debt that he incurred in his last life, but for the progress that he had to make in his current life.

Zhu Yi and the rest also started to laugh. Shi Tianhao, Yue Hongyan, Luo Qingwu all clasped their fist and palm towards Xiao Yan, "Senior, sorry to have disrespected you in the past. Please don't find fault with us."

Xiao Yan turned his head up and gestured, "Relax, I am a magnanimous person. I won't blame all of you."

He laughed, "Haha, come to think about it, now that I am master's eldest disciple, my rank is higher than Wen Chiyang, who is not even the eldest disciple of the Great Void Sect then."

"Xiao Yan, it's still too early to make a conclusion."

At this point, Lin Feng's voice rang, which left Xiao Yan and the others stunned.

As he saw Xiao Yan looking over, Lin Feng smiled, "Why, do you think I am comforting you? What's there to comfort you about. Even if you reincarnated from Wen Chiyang, you are now a Xiao, and no longer a Wen anymore."

"However, Xiao Yan, I am really not comforting you. I believe it's still too early to make a conclusion."

Lin Feng straightened one of his finger, "The reason is simple. The reaction of the Crucible of the Divine Lands does not seem right."

Xiao Yan and the others were curious now. Above the Crucible of the Divine Lands, Lin Feng pointed his finger, "This crucible expressed its ostracization and hate towards both you and the Zheng Yi Holy Man."

"But the hate that the crucible shown towards the Zheng Yi Holy Man seemed to be more intense." Lin Feng touched the crucible and said, "A magic treasure in the destiny realm is miraculous. If you are really the reincarnation of Wen Chiyang, regardless whether you retained any memories or if your soul is complete or not, the crucible will recognize you."

"If you are indeed the reincarnation of Wen Chiyang, even if you learn everything from me and your aura is different form before, the hatred of the crucible towards you will still be more intense than it was towards the Zheng Yi Holy Man."

"After all, the anger that the Crucible of the Divine Lands feels towards the rest of the Great Void Sect is nothing compared to the fury that it feels towards Wen Chiyang. In addition, your current cultivation is incomparable to Wen Chiyang. Even if it was comparable, to the crucible, there's no such distinction."

After Xiao Yan heard this, he pursed his lips, "Haiz, master, I was a little delighted just now. But you just poured cold water on me."

"Adding to the fact that the crucible resisted me previously, it's been twice that my mood has been killed today."

Lin Feng laughed, "You deserve it. Who ask you not to wait till I finish my words?"

Shi Tianhao pointed at Xiao Yan and laughed, "Eldest Senior is excited for nothing again." As Xiao Yan heard this, he punched his fist towards Shi Tianhao.

Lin Feng looked at the fun that his disciples were having and he laughed while shaking his head.

But after laughing, Lin Feng retracted his laughter slowly. He looked at Xiao Yan and said, "However, Xiao Yan, you are still related to Wen Chiyang in some way or another. Otherwise, the crucible would not have ostracized you."

"Your background has something to do with the Netherworld Sea too."

"To verify the truth, we have to go to the Netherworld Sea."

Xiao Yan retracted his cheeky laughter and nodded his head, "You are right, Master. But I can't still figure out what's the key point in all this."

Five years ago, in the Grand Celestial World, Xiao Yan realized his connection with the Netherworld Sea after Lin Feng told him. Over these years, he tried to figure things out too.

He was also someone who would act decisively when it mattered. In these five years, he even entered the Netherworld Sea through the crack on the Nefarious Almighty Sword. But he didn't find out anything much.

Xiao Yan ever communicated with his own grandfather and elder in the Xiao Family, but he did not obtain anything that was too useful.

"Eldest Senior has something to do with the Netherworld Sea. Wen Chiyang was very likely able to control the Netherworld Sea. Someone in the Great Void Sect can initiate the powers of the Netherworld Sea and has something to do with Wen Chiyang too." Shi Tianhao creased his brows, "In that case, what's with the person who opened a crack to the Netherworld Sea at the Ancient Longevity World? That person is likely to be related to the Emperor of the Dead."

Zhu Yi said, "Even if the person who commanded the Netherworld Sea and combined with the Supreme Heavenly Mirror to kill Shen Yuan was Wen Chiyang, he also perished in that battle. He is unable to revive, thus he can be said to have perished along with the Emperor of the Dead."

"That happened during the Middle Ages. After that, if anyone achieved any progress in their investigation of the Netherworld Sea, it is not that entirely impossible. After all, after that person died, the Great Void Sect could only initiate the powers of the Netherworld Sea and not control it."

Wang Lin's gaze flashed and he said, "Wen Chiyang was probably the person that the Emperor of the Dead feared the most. When he was alive, the Emperor of the Dead did not dare to act recklessly. Even if he appeared to be dead, the Emperor of the Dead remained vigilant as his corpse was never found. Maybe it was during then that he placed his attention on the Netherworld Sea already."

"After that, when the Emperor of the Dead abdicated and his life was in danger, we know that he did not really die. He was plotting in secret. And when the war came during the Middle Ages, when Shen Yuan perished, the power of the Netherworld Sea attracted the Emperor of the Dead. Or maybe he was like the Great Void Sect, as he obtained some clues in the process and gained a deeper understanding of the Netherworld Sea in the process."

Everyone nodded their heads as they heard this. Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yan and asked, "Miss Zhener should be about done in her quest to reach the Immortal Soul Stage?"

"Yes, it should be ending soon." Xiao Yan was slightly stunned as he looked at Lin Feng. He saw Lin Feng laughing, "When she comes out from her retreat, we can consider the marriage of both of you."

Chapter 1031: Lin Feng Passes on His Manual

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

After hearing Lin Feng's words, Xiao Yan was stunned, "Eh?!"

After that, he revealed a look of joy on his face and coughed, "Erm, Master, this is too sudden. See, I'm not that prepared yet…"

Shi Tianhao pursed his lips, "Is it too fast, Eldest Senior? But I see you smiling so widely."

Luo Qingwu laughed too, "Senior Xiao Yan, stop acting coy. Everyone knows that you look forward to this."

Xiao Yan waved his hand at them, "Go away, one bachelor and one spinster. What do the both of you know?"

Shi Tianhao and Luo Qingwu rolled their eyes at him.

Xiao Yan rubbed his hands and his usual toughness disappeared. He looked at Lin Feng foolishly and laughed, "Master, you…"

"Both you and Zhener are compatible with each other. This should happen sooner or later anyway." Lin Feng smiled, "Now that the both of you have formed the Immortal Soul and have become a Daoist couple, it will be a very joyous occasion."

"After obtaining approval from your grandfather, go to the Ancient Longevity World and propose marriage."

Lin Feng patted him on his shoulder, "While I my actual body may not be free to go, I will still present the betrothal gifts on your behalf. At least one of my avatar will come"

Although he joked in the past that he would offer the Ancient Royal Sword as a betrothal gift, Lin Feng was actually not so miserly when it came to proposing marriage for Xiao Yan.

As his Eldest Disciple, it was necessary for Xiao Yan to undergo the appropriate procedures if he wanted to propose marriage.

It might sound very romantic to be engaged, but it reflected more of frustration instead.

"If there's no other matter that crops up, we shall act when Miss Zhener finishes her cultivation."

He smiled as he poked Xiao Yan, "Don't be too elated. This marriage is not yet confirmed."

Xiao Yan laughed cheekily, "Master, if you're going to be there personally, it will be a success. Everything will be smooth."

Lin Feng laughed and shook his head, "You…"

He looked at Xiao Yan and laughed, "You can't just marry on the spot when we go this time. At most, the date will be set. To marry her for real, you must wait some time."

Xiao Yan nodded his head, "Master, I understand." Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao and seemed to be enlightened too at this point.

For them to marry, the Gu Family in the Ancient Longevity World had to make the final decision.

But everyone remained normal and Zhu Yi smiled, "I believe Eldest Senior and Miss Zhener will be able to marry each other eventually."

Everyone nodded their heads and Xiao Yan smiled widely, "I hope your words will be fulfilled, Second Junior."

His smile became more and more gentle and he said softly, "Zhener mentioned before that we shall discuss what happened in the past when we meet again."

Lin Feng and the rest nodded their heads. The 'what happened in the past' referred to the fact that Xiao Zhener spent her childhood in the Xiao Family back in Wuzhou County.

This matter was related to some secrets of the plans of the Emperor of the Ancients. Although Xiao Zhener did contact Xiao Yan frequently over these few years and they chatted about many things, they rarely mentioned about this matter.

At times, she would like to explain to Xiao Yan, but she would be stopped. After all, Xiao Yan did not want to put Xiao Zhener in a spot by interfering in the internal secrets of the Gu Family.

Over these years, Xiao Yan remained tough and courageous. In terms of interpersonal relationships, he was also much more mature, especially towards those who were closer to him. He would step in the shoes of the other party and try not to put the other party in a difficult spot.

Xiao Zhener understood his intentions too. And now that she suggested that they discussed about the past, it meant that the matter was no longer an issue over at the Gu Family.

This was actually positive news. This meant that the Gu Family was more accepting of Xiao Yan now and they were friendlier towards the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Lin Feng nodded his head and laughed, "The both of you can finally reunite when you go over to the Ancient Longevity World this time."

Xiao Yan laughed as he sighed, "That's right, we can finally reunite."

Lin Feng said, "Don't get too busy with missing her. I have something for all of you now."

Everyone focused their minds at this point. As Lin Feng moved his hands, six streaks of purple clouds appeared. Besides Zhu Yi's actual body which was not around, the rest of the others were engulfed by the purple clouds. Lin Feng used his mana to sense the condition of all of them.

After a brief moment, Lin Feng retracted the purple clouds and nodded his head in satisfaction, "Not bad, very good."

He looked at Yue Hongyan first and said, "Hongyan, you are the one who has benefited the most as we entered the Ancient Desolate Galaxy this time. Right now, you have broken through the past bottleneck. Ascending to the Advanced Nascent Soul Stage. And forming your Cosmic Form will be a matter of time."

Yue Hongyan clasped her palm and fist towards him, replying, "I will cultivate well and form the Cosmic Form soon."

Lin Feng pointed at her and replied, "Don't be too anxious too. Cultivate the Star Skull first before trying to advance. This will be more beneficial to your future cultivation."

Yue Hongyan acknowledged by nodding her head, before Lin Feng encouraged Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu to cultivate the Star Skull. The both of them listened to his advice too.

After that, he turned to Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao, "For the four of you, it's just about absorbing the powers of the luminaries within. It shouldn't be too hard."

"Although Zhu Yi's actual body is not here, the Great Sun Avatar will also benefit much by absorbing the powers of the luminaries within the Star Skull. Just go ahead with it. When your actual body returns, there will still be some remnants for it."

"For Wang Lin's Heaven-Carrying Great Saintly Satanic Avatar, the same logic applies."

Zhu Yi and Wang Lin bowed, "Thank you Master."

Following that, Lin Feng posed questions for the four of them who had already formed the Immortal Soul. He wanted to test their understanding of the collection of the sect.

After he finished his questioning, Lin Feng was still very pleased. The four of them had basically understood the entire Four Appearances Heaven-Cleaving Script and Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams. They even developed their own understandings of the way of the Heavens and Earth and the great Dao.

While they might not be as advanced as Lin Feng, they were continually improving themselves.

For mantras like the Burning Heavens Mantra, Golden Chapters of the Yansheng Eight Trigrams, Heavenly Extreme Path Sutra and the Understanding of the Tempest, they were birthed from the Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams before the four of them included their own understandings of the Four Appearances Heaven Cleaving Script within.

The mantras of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were perfected slowly and became part of a system.

In the future, as Xiao Yan and the rest rose in their cultivation, their understanding of the way of the Heavens and Earth would be deeper too. The Burning Heavens Mantra and the other mantras would be improved continually too.

Yue Hongyan, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu were the same. As they improved, especially if they formed the Immortal Soul, the True Art of the Void, Eight Trigrams Xuanshu Dao Mantra and Celestial Sword Manual would be improved too.

His disciples did not waste their time all these years, which left Lin Feng comforted. He tapped with his finger lightly and four light spots flew out. They landed in front of Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao before entering their brows.

The eyes of Xiao Yan and the rest lit up, "Two Elements Origins-Returning Scripture?"

Lin Feng smiled as he nodded his head, "This is a foundation of the sect. The third chapter of the Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtues, the Two Elements Chapter."

"Since all of your foundations are rather stable now, the time is ripe. I will pass this to all of you now."

Xiao Yan and the rest bowed respectfully, "We thank Master for passing down the manual to us."

Lin Feng waved them off and laughed, "There's no need to be so grateful. All of you have fulfilled your talents, which I am very comforted by."

Radiances surfaced on his fingertips and he continued saying, "I believe all of you can also feel that as you improve, your cultivation improves and your understanding of the Heavens and Earth also improves. My Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtues simplifies things, but cultivating the same way the whole time will not be useful to all of you in the future."

Yue Hongyan and the other two looked at one another before shaking their heads. Whereas after Xiao Yan and the others were silent for a while, they nodded their heads.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "As I said before, I hope to see all of you carve out your own paths and live life with meaning."

"As I guide all of you into the sect, I leave your cultivations to yourselves. As I pass down mantras to all of you, I am only offering a direction. Eventually, everything has to be completed on your own."

The bunch of disciples bowed towards him, "We will remember Master's teachings and cultivate hard to bring glory to the sect."

Lin Feng laughed, "It's fine if all of you can keep it in your hearts. Go and cultivate then."

After he paused for a moment, he continued saying, "After this trip to the Ancient Desolate Galaxy, the situation in the Grand Celestial World has changed again. We will also need to plan well. Things are going to get serious from now on."

Xiao Yan and the others smiled. They were not fearful. "We understand."

Lin Feng nodded his head in satisfaction, "Okay, all of you can return. Yuanfang1, I need you to stay though."

Everyone laughed as they looked at Li Yuanfang. He did not move though, "Master, it's not Yuanfang1, but Yuanfang4."

Lin Feng nodded his head. And as he pointed his finger, a black spot came before Li Yuanfang.

Li Yuanfang's eyes brightened and flashed with a bright radiance, "Master, this…is the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation?"

Lin Feng nodded his head, "This is indeed the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation. But this formation has been crushed by the Qiong Qi and the formation map has also been damaged by the downburst to the Starry Sea. To restore it, time and effort are needed."

Li Yuanfang replied, "I will do my best."

"Relax, I'm not putting any pressure on you. I am passing this to you to help you complete the Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation." Lin Feng said, "I will mend the formation map along with you. And if you want to unleash the powers of this formation, the treasures needed are very rare. We have a lot of things to prepare."

Li Yuanfang nodded his head in acknowledgement and Lin Feng continued asking, "How's your understanding of the Heavenly Fire God-Slaughtering Formation coming along?"

Chapter 1032: Remaining Prepared, Increasing Powers

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Heavenly Fire God-Slaughtering Formation was a formation that Li Yuanfang formed after he opened the South Heavenly Gate of the Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation. Among the four elements of Earth, Water, Fire and Wind, it took the Fire form. It also had the most powerful destructive force and offensive strength.

Li Yuanfang's Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation opened the four Heavenly Gates and erected four different formations. They were formed after he figured out the Four Appearances Heaven-Cleaving Script and referenced to other powerful formations.

Opening the East Heavenly Gate, forming the Light Dust Spell-Manifesting Formation and infusing Li Yuanfang's comprehension of the Two Elements of Creation Formation.

Opening the West Heavenly Gate, forming the Black Nightmare Saint-Trapping Formation and infusing Li Yuanfang's comprehension of the Nameless Ancient Formation.

The Heavenly Fire God-Slaughtering Formation formed from the opening of the South Heavenly Gate infused the comprehension of Li Yuanfang of the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation.

After hearing Lin Feng enquire about his Heavenly Fire God-Slaughtering Formation, Li Yuanfang straightened his look, "It's basically completed, but there are still some things to tweak."

Because of this reason, Li Yuanfang did not use this formation this time at the Ancient Desolate Galaxy.

When there were mistakes in others' formations, he could not help but point them out. For his own formations, it was the same. Unless he was in a life and death situation, he would not use an incomplete formation.

Lin Feng nodded his head and pointed his finger. After that, a streak of black gas revolved in void space, as if it was an invincible art of swordplay. At the same time, it felt like countless formation patterns that converted into a huge formation.

The brutality within it did not spread, but it still instilled fear.

Li Yuanfang stared at that black streak of gas in a daze and the spells in his hands changed continuously. Streaks and streaks of mana revolved around in space too, forming a subtle formation. It was different from the formation that Lin Feng created using his black gas, but they seemed to be connected too.

Lin Feng saw this and he nodded his head with a smile, "You learn fast."

Li Yuanfang analyzed it for a while before he regained his awareness. He bowed towards Lin Feng, "I understood many things. The Heavenly God-Slaughtering Formation can be completed soon."

Lin Feng clapped his hands and laughed, "Very well, in this way, the Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation is only left with one more formation now. This formation will rely on this Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation."

Li Yuanfang revealed a smile on his face and nodded his head hard, "Yes, master. I will work hard."

"The most fortunate thing that I encountered is to have all of you as my disciples." Lin Feng laughed while gesturing for Li Yuanfang to retreat to cultivate. Li Yuanfang bowed before leaving.

After Li Yuanfang left, Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar and Avatar of Ares came before him and sat facing one another.

A radiance flew out of the brow of the Avatar of Ares and floated in void space. It seemed real and illusory at the same time.

It seemed like a small speck of dust, but seemed like a huge and complicated formation too. This was Lin Feng's Two Elements of Creation Formation.

Lin Feng looked at the Two Elements of Creation Formation and thought, "This Two Elements of Creation Formation of mine still has room to improve."

With the most basic formation map as the basis of comparison, Lin Feng's Two Elements of Creation Formation was the strongest in the entire Grand Celestial World.

Of course, the formation might not seem as powerful as it sounded at times. That's because the formation followed Lin Feng most of the time. Regardless whether it was his actual body or avatar, it allowed Lin Feng to bring it everywhere he went.

This was also an advantage of the formation. The formation did not rely on geography. Although it tapped on the powers on its geographical location, it was not limited to that.

That was why many others cursed that the Celestial Sect of Wonders was a cheat, as Lin Feng could bring the formation wherever he wanted.

Although this was related to the core foundation of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Mount Yujing, the Two Elements of Creation Formation did not spend a lot of time in protecting the mountain of the sect.

This actually reflected a huge problem.

Right now, the Celestial Sect of Wonders was the hardest to overcome in the entire Divine Lands, but only if Lin Feng held the fort on Mount Yujing.

On one hand, Lin Feng's powers were extremely strong. On another hand, Mount Yujing was able to hide in void space.

This made the Two Elements of Creation Formation play an accessory role.

During the Anti-Celestial Sect War, Lin Feng was not on the mountain and Mount Yujing revealed itself. Although the formation was there to protect it, it still required the help of Xiao Yan and the others to resist the enemies.

Everything in the world had its advantages and disadvantages, strengths and weaknesses. The Two Elements of Creation Formation was not limited by geography and could shift freely. This was its strength. But this formation had a huge weakness, that was it needed someone to command it. Furthermore, the powers of the person commanding it had to be aligned with the powers of the formation.

Li Yuanfang received help from Zhu Yi's Soaring Dragon Spell during the Anti-Celestial Sect War, but was still only in the void Nascent Soul Stage. He was not even truly in the Nascent Soul Stage.

If it was today, Li Yuanfang would be more powerful when controlling the formation, as he was in the Intermediate Nascent Soul Stage now.

If Lin Feng was the one commanding the formation, it would be even more scary.

After Lin Feng included his own 49 Two Element Micro-Dust to suppress the formation, he allowed the powers of the Two Elements of Creation Formation to rise. But the problem still existed. Normally, it couldn't be discovered, but against a strong opponent when precise control of the formation was needed, a powerful host of the formation was needed to unleash the powers of the formation to its fullest.

Many formations in the world needed someone to control them, while the powers of the formations were affected by the hosts' powers.

But to see formations like the Two Elements of Creation Formation that relied entirely on the powers of the host, it was very rare.

And the problem did not just lie in the fact that the Two Elements of Creation Formation relied on the powers of the host. The magic treasures that formed the formation had also become a problem now.

Not only did Xiao Yan feel that the Ethereal Heart Cauldron was unable to keep up with his cultivation prowess, Lin Feng also felt that part of the magic treasures of the formation were no longer as useful as before.

Without the 49 Two Elements Micro-Dust to suppress the formation, the problem would have been even more obvious.

But this was not something that was discovered because an opponent had exploited it. Rather, Lin Feng discovered it as his cultivation increased.

For a formation that did not rely on geographical location, the quality of the magic treasures that formed it still affected its powers.

A classic example was the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation. While the formation disappeared for many years and eventually appeared in the hands of the Qiong Qi Grand Sage, it was still unable to repeat its former glory.

Lin Feng's dream for the Two Elements of Creation Formation was to be similar to the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation of the Great Void Sect and the Vairocana Formation.

Although everyone praised the Two Elements of Creation Formation for matching up to the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation, Vairocana Formation and Immortal Heaven Universal Sword Formation, Lin Feng knew the limits of the Two Elements of Creation Formation.

In terms of the formation maps, the Two Elements of Creation Formation was not inferior to that of the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation or Vairocana Formation. But the truth was the Two Elements of Creation Formation was still inferior if all the formations were in their peak states.

The past Vairocana Formation was able to unleash its full powers and was recognized as the most powerful defensive formation in the Divine Lands. In terms of pure defensive strength, it was superior to the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation.

With a powerful Buddhist cultivator helming it and Mount Meru to suppress it, the defensive power of this formation would reach unbelievable levels.

If it was not overcame by the Hades Emperor during the War of the Two Worlds and Mount Meru was crushed, killing three Thunderclap Temple cultivators with Golden Form Third Level and ten of them with Golden forms, the War of Buddha Annihilation would not have proceeded so smoothly as the Vairocana Formation was crushed.

Even with the Formation-Bursting Drum in the destiny realm, there was not much hope in overcoming the indestructible defense of the formation.

In the current age, among everything in the Divine Lands, the only thing that was probably capable of overcoming the Vairocana Formation was the Supreme Heavenly Mirror.

Even Lin Feng did not have much confidence in doing so.

Whereas the other powerful formation in the Divine Lands, the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation relied on the geographical location of Mount Baiyun.

In the past, Mount Baiyun was where all the spiritual energy gathered. The Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation tapped on this advantage. But as the spiritual energy changed its flow in the Divine Lands, this advantage was lost gradually.

The Great Void Sect had also been tweaking their formation to adapt to new conditions.

And to minimize the impact of changing conditions, the Great Void Sect came out with a new measure after a long period of research.

They planned to use their own powers to make up for the weakened geographical advantage. Twelve powerful Great Void Sect cultivators would enter the formation to hold the fort, allowing the powers of the formation to rise significantly. As the powers of the cultivators and the formation combined, they supplemented each other.

Along with the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation could shift space temporarily and leave Mount Baiyun.

During the War of the Two Worlds, this happened and the formation shifted to the Great Thunderclap Temple. Along with the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, they fought Hades Emperor.

This was also the highest level that the formation managed to achieve in the current age.

A formation map was the foundation of a formation. But how high a formation could reach was decided by many things. Positive examples were the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation and negative examples were the Immortal Heaven Universal Sword Formation and Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation.

For the Immortal Heaven Universal Sword Formation, its powers fluctuated depending on the presence of the Saintly Celestial Sword or the accumulation of sword aura on the sword peaks.

Lin Feng was confident that he was a powerful figure now and was no longer someone who could be bullied. But he did not reckon that he was invincible too.

He remained prepared. The question that he was pondering over now was how to prevent the Two Elements of Creation Formation from becoming a negative example.

Chapter 1033: Improving the Two Elements of Creation Formation

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng had always been eager to improve the Two Elements of Creation Formation. Using the 49 specks of Two Elements Micro-Dust, he suppressed the eye of the formation. But this was only the first step, or rather, it was just the substitute.

Before this, Lin Feng was waiting for the magic treasure embryo in the Yin-Yang Sea to develop, before using it. If it was used to suppress the eye of the formation, the powers of the formation would increase significantly.

Furthermore, the problem as identified earlier would be greatly alleviated.

However, why was it so difficult to get a destiny level magic treasure?

The Higan Golden Bridge belonged to Zhu Yi, whereas it was unknown when the light ball inside the Yin-Yang Sea would develop.

But now, Lin Feng did not have to wait anymore. In front of him, there was a ready-made destiny level magic treasure.

Lin Feng rubbed the Crucible of the Divine Lands slightly. Now that the controlled the Crucible of the Divine Lands, he wanted to combine the crucible and the Two Elements of Creation Formation. But some time was still needed to adjust things. Things would not be fulfilled so easily.

But as compared to before when he had nothing, Lin Feng was already very satisfied with what he had now.

With the Crucible of the Divine Lands to suppress the eye of the formation, the powers of the Two Elements of Creation Formation increased gradually. It did not waste the powers of the crucible either, as it used the powers of the crucible to add on to its own powers.

Not only did the crucible enhance the prowess of the formation, the formation also greatly improved the ability of the crucible to cultivate pills as it revealed its Changes of Life and Death.

Inside the Celestial Golden Pavilion, Lin Feng's own Two Elements of Creation Formation was set up and exhibited the Changes of Life and Death.

Furthermore, as the Two Elements of Creation Formation unleashed the Heavens and Earth Change, it combined the power concept of the Earth with the Crucible of the Divine Lands, which nurtured the crucible.

Of course, because of the natural characteristic of the crucible, after it entered the formation, it might make the formation become less adaptable.

Although it might not be to a great extent, it was best to prevent the formation from remaining stationary as their powers were combined. This would allow more time for the crucible to gather the spiritual energy of the Greater World.

While the Crucible of the Divine Lands was the best magic treasure to cultivate pills, it was not only used for one purpose.

Besides, as its powers gathered, it would be disadvantageous when quantity and geographical strengths were needed.

While there were benefits, there were drawbacks too. Controlling these strengths and weaknesses required one to adapt.

And after the Crucible of the Divine Lands was there to suppress the eye of the formation, the only way to further increase the powers of the formation was to work on the magic treasures used to set the formation up.

In theory, there were 12 magic treasures used to set the formation up. They aligned with the 12 power concepts of the Heavens, Earth, Life, Death, Light, Darkness, Yin, Yang, Illusion, Reality, Eternity and Instant. These 12 power concepts then formed the Six Changes.

Out of the 12 magic treasures that Lin Feng used, the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds and Swelling Earth birthed the Central Wutu Divine Light that aligned with the Heaven and Earth Change.

The Natural Light Celestial Robe, without its original soul, combined with the Mingdu Skeleton that aligned with the Change of Light and Darkness.

The Netherworld Purple Crystal and Pure Yang Primordial Fire aligned with the Change of Yin and Yang, the Ancient Mirage Leather and Heaven-Reflecting Stone aligned with the Change of Illusion and Reality and the Instant Heavenly Gravel Eternal Holy Light aligned with the Change of Illusion and Eternity.

Before the Parasol Tree Wood birthed Lin Tong, the Parasol Tree Wood combined with the Deathly Gas Stone to align with the Changes of Life and Death. After Lin Tong was born, Lin Feng found another magic treasure, the Eight Barrens Spiritual Stone, which contained a strong life power, as a replacement.

Among these magic treasures, some of them were very useful in the past, as their qualities were not low. At the same time, they were quite rare too.

But as Lin Feng's own cultivation increased, his position became more and more valuable. As a result, the resources of the Celestial Sect of Wonders became more and more abundant. Some of the magic treasures in the formation were unable to keep pace with Lin Feng anymore.

At this point, to effectively increase the powers of the formation, some changes had to be made.

The Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds and Central Wutu Divine Light could remain. Only their intensities had to be adjusted. The same logic would apply for the Pure Yang Primordial Fire, Instant Heavenly Gravel and Eternal Holy Light. Among them, the Instant Heavenly Gravel still had to be cultivated in order to produce the Instantaneous Glow.

When Lin Feng substituted in the Eight Barrens Spiritual Stone, he considered what would have happened in the future. Thus, he prepared early and spent a lot of effort to find the magic treasures that would leave him satisfied.

But those that were not up to the task currently had to be replaced.

Although the Netherworld Purple Crystal was left behind by the Hades Emperor, its essence laid in the slight relation to the Hades Dark Mantra that it possessed and not the crystal itself. While it was a rare Pure-Yang material, it was lacking in quantity now even though its quality was exceptional.

The Ancient Mirage Leather and Mingdu Skeleton were extremely rare, in perfect condition and powers were pure. But they came from Demonic Saints that were only in the Undying Demon Soul Level.

This was similar to the situation of the Netherworld Purple Crystal. While their qualities satisfied Lin Feng's target, their quantities were lacking.

The Deathly Gas Stone and Heaven-Reflecting Stone were in the same situation too. But they were even more lacking in terms of quantity. And although the Natural Light Celestial Robe was a metaplasia level magic treasure initially, its original soul was destroyed by Lin Feng and it was only a shell now. At the moment, it did not seem powerful enough.

"Oh, the rest are still fine, but replacing the Deathly Gas Stone and Heaven-Reflecting Stone will not be easy." Lin Feng revealed an evil but cheeky smile on his face, "Throw that Asura War-Blade in to replace the Deathly Gas Stone, which may be an appropriate choice. But if that blade causes trouble, things will get messy. After all, it's in the Mahayana realm. Destroying the original soul of it may be a pity."

He flipped his palm and a dark black blade had appeared on it.

The blade possessed a ferocious killing intent. As its killing intent spread, those who were of lower cultivations would be affected till they went insane. Eventually, they would be consumed by their own killing intents, becoming maniacal freaks who would only know how to fight and kill. Even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator would be rocked by it.

But Lin Feng could even handle the White Tiger Grand Sage. What more this Asura War-Blade?

As he grabbed the blade, the killer aura of the blade could be sensed all around. It did not suppress it, but the area in which the aura managed to spread out to was within a restricted radius.

The blade was shaking slightly. He heard what Lin Feng said previously.

Although it was extremely ferocious, its sharpness was blunted by Lin Feng after landing in Lin Feng's hands. Right now, as it heard Lin Feng's words, which seemed like a joke and an ultimatum, it felt very uncomfortable.

After a long while, the Asura War-Blade finally quietened down. It stopped shaking and submitted to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng laughed and injected streaks and streaks of mana into the blade. After a while, the dark blade flashed with crimson-red blood light. A purplish radiance was then coated on the surface of the blade.

After he threw the blade into the formation, Lin Feng started to adjust the rest of the magic treasures in the formation.

Even with Lin Feng's current abilities, using a Mahayana level magic treasure to set up the formation might still seem very extravagant. But Lin Feng believed that it would be worth the while.

After the magic treasures were replaced, restoring the formation to its peak state would still require further adjustments, especially in terms of the small details. However, not too much effort would be needed, but time was still required.

Lin Feng was unclear what the disciples of the Great Void Sect were doing in the Starry Sea right now. But all his disciples were putting their efforts into cultivation, as they wanted to cultivate the powers of the star skulls.

After they cultivated the star skulls, Lin Feng could send them into the Ancient Desolate Galaxy anytime he wanted to receive the baptism of the star light.

Not only Yue Hongyan broke through her own bottleneck, Tang Jun, Zhou Yuncong, Liu Xiafeng and Li Xingfei also broke through their own bottlenecks and could ascend another level.

Among them, Liu Xiafeng and Li Xingfei retreated after they returned to the mountain. First, they overcame the Tribulations of the Yin Wind and rose to the Advanced Aurous Core Stage. After that, they cultivated the star skulls and entered the Ancient Desolate Galaxy to receive their baptisms.

Whereas Tang Jun and Zhou Yuncong controlled their own progress and did not rush to form the Nascent Soul. They cultivated the star skull first before entering the Ancient Desolate Galaxy for the baptism. At the Aurous Core Stage, they would consolidate their foundations and allow their own accumulations to reach a desired standard before trying to overcome the Void Lightning Tribulations and form the Nascent Soul.

With regards to the abilities of their disciples to control their urges, Lin Feng, Xiao Yan and the others were very pleased.

Lin Feng was not too anxious about this too, Since victory was already close and time was not an issue, he was considering to delay the submission of his mission and hope to garner a more profitable reward from the main mission.

After a long while, the Blizzard Valley rang with good news. Yue Hongyan had risen to the Advanced Nascent Soul Stage.

Very soon, the Inferno Precipice and Forest Abode also passed news that Liu Xiafeng and Li Xingfei had overcome the Tribulations of the Yin Wind and reached the Advanced Aurous Core Stage.

As the disciples who joined during the first Sect-Opening Ceremony, Liu Xiafeng and Li Xingfei performed very well initially. But for some reasons, Lin Tong, Tang Jun, Han Yang, Yang Tie and the rest managed to catch up with them.

Not only the two of them, Yan Wuwei and Zhao Huan were both stuck in the Intermediate Aurous Core Stage too. Xu Yunsheng disappeared from everyone's attention, and while Ying Luozha was only inferior to Dao Yuting, he was slowly being caught up by Tang Jun and Zhou Yuncong.

But the few of them were still very calm amidst this. They did not harbor any dissatisfaction, but they remained competitive.

Lin Feng, Xiao Yan and the rest were glad to see such a situation.

Under the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar stood in front of Lin Feng. In the next moment, a crack opened in void space. Shi Tianhao, Xiao Yan, Wang Lin and the rest stepped out and greeted Lin Feng.

Lin Feng said, "Zhu Yi has discovered something."

As everyone heard him, they looked at the Great Sun Avatar and Zhu Yi nodded at them, "I have investigated carefully. The key must lie in the parents."

Chapter 1034: Hidden Pawn of the Great Void Sect

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"Parents?" Yue Hongyan's brows raised, as she looked at the Great Sun Avatar

Zhu Yi nodded his head at her, "That's right, his parents seem normal and don't seem to possess any cultivation. Even we were tricked initially."

"However, in fact, his parents are only normal now. But before this, they were not."

Luo Qingwu pondered before saying, "They lost their cultivations? But there should still be traces of them. It shouldn't be that you can't detect it, senior."

Her expression changed suddenly, "Unless…"

Li Yuanfang's gaze flashed before he said, "Mantra of the Great Oblivion!"

Yue Hongyan spat out her breath before nodding her head, "As failure to cultivate the Mantra of the Great Oblivion occurs, one's Dao heart will crack and he will become no different from a normal person. Even with our current cultivations, it will not be easy to detect."

She looked at Zhu Yi, "Second Senior, how did you verify it then?"

Zhu Yi replied, "Although I have not seen the true Mantra of the Great Oblivion before, I have gathered significant news of this mantra these few years. Although there are not many things that are useful, I have managed to find out the special trait of this Mantra of the Great Oblivion."

"Although it's not good to have first impressions, since we can roughly confirm their backgrounds, there's a trail that we can follow. After I recalled the special trait of the Mantra of the Great Oblivion, I followed this train of thought to find out."

Zhu Yi's gaze flashed with a hint of passion, "After the couple's powers were lost, they left Mount Baiyun and lived like normal people. They worked hard and bore a child. During that time, they wouldn't have expected that their child would possess such a destiny."

"The other party was also very careful, as no mistakes were made. Basically, the couple were never approached, nor did they liaise with anyone secretly. No spells were also used to affect their minds. There was literally no connection with them."

As he said till here, Zhu Yi shook his head, "But since the target has been locked on and a clear train of thought has been formed, it's natural that some clues could be detected."

"Before this couple's powers were crippled, they were both from the Great Void Sect. Since young, they had been cultivating on Mount Baiyun. As their lifestyles changed rapidly, they were not able to adapt to it very quickly."

Wang Lin was calm and he said, "Now that they are already used to the normal life, they are naturally no different from a normal person. But when they just left Mount Baiyun and acclimatize themselves to a different environment, there must be a process that they followed, no matter how long they took to adapt."

"Even if they had a similar experience before they joined the sect, they would have lost all familiarity to it after so many years. Especially in terms of their mindset, which would have found it more difficult to adapt to the different environment."

Zhu Yi nodded his head, "This is indeed so. Thus, I followed their lives to trace where they first lived when they moved out of Mount Baiyun."

"The other party is actually very detailed, as he thought of this. However, it's not that he had planned since the very start. Rather, it was after he had a plan before he chose this couple. During then, it had been some time after the couple left Mount Baiyun."

"That's why as things change and people moved, the earliest traces could not be wiped off completely. I still managed to find something."

Shi Tianhao creased his brows, "Second Senior, I have a question."

"Since this couple left Mount Baiyun, they would no longer be under the protection of the sect anymore. They were literally kicked out of the sect and could only work tirelessly in order to survive. In this way, would they still have a sense of belonging towards the Great Void Sect?"

"The other party chose them and their child to be a spy in our sect. To prevent getting discovered, they were never contacted. Then how did the other party ensure his control over this family?"

Shi Tianhao asked, "Blackmail? Can't be the case. If we were secretly informed, we can protect them."

Zhu Yi's gaze flashed with a look of complication and he said, "It's normal for you to be confused. I had the same questions at the start, but after I learnt more about the Mantra of the Great Oblivion, I finally understood the problem."

"Oh?" Everyone looked at Zhu Yi and he explained, "Failure to cultivate the Mantra of the Great Oblivion would cause one's Dao heart to be crushed and his cultivation would be crippled. Furthermore, as he fails, his entire foundation would collapse. There's no way he can cultivate other mantras from there."

Everyone nodded their heads. They fully understood this situation. The Great Void Sect dominated in the Divine Lands for years. Although they were quite reclusive, some news would still spread to the outside world.

"But the Mantra of the Great Oblivion did not entirely remove the motivation of these disciples to improve themselves." Zhu Yi followed by saying, "If they can grasp the true meaning of the Mantra of the Great Oblivion again, their cultivations can still be restored gradually. In fact, they might be able to heal within a day."

Xiao Yan and the rest were enlightened, "So this is the case. This is quite an impressive mantra."

Zhu Yi said, "And following years of analysis by the Great Void Sect Elders, in order to grasp the true meaning of the mantra, the best way was to return to the ways of simplicity."

"Since it's about returning to the ways of simplicity, it can't just be for show." Wang Lin said, "As to whether one will regain his cultivation, or be stuck in the life of a normal person, it will depend on him."

Zhu Yi's gaze had regained its calmness at this point, "Because besides this, there's no other way. There's no chance of cultivating other mantras, thus every cultivator who cultivated the Mantra of the Great Oblivion would choose this path, hoping to rise again."

"Besides being kicked out of the sect, whatever they have learnt in the past would be wiped off too."

Everyone looked at Zhu Yi and did not say anything. They all sighed in unison.

Xiao Yan rubbed his bros lightly, "Thus, that couple still maintain a sense of belonging towards the Great Void Sect. They still hope to return to Mount Baiyun one day. Even without any restrictions or restraints, they will do their best as long as they have instructions and a mission?"

"Thinking that if they complete their mission, they will be rewarded handsomely?"

Wang Lin replied in a deep voice, "Although whether their cultivations can be restored is a huge unknown, there is still a glimmer of hope that they can reach where they were before. Thus, they will still fight for it."

"Because of how special the Mantra of the Great Oblivion is, following the Great Void Sect is the only chance that they've got."

Zhu Yi said, "Generally speaking, for such disciples, even as they become normal, the Great Void Sect will still monitor them. This is in case they get into life-threatening danger."

"After all, they still have the potential to rise again. Even as they leave the Great Void Sect, they were still once a disciple of the sect."

"But it's just that this couple is not watched over by anyone now. That's because they accepted the mission and are acting in this way to prevent getting caught."

Yue Hongyan's eyes seemed to dance with fire, "Since we can verify their background now, the question is how much does this spy know about himself?"

"From what it seems, this spy has not been briefed about his background."

Xiao Yan laughed, "The spy has been hiding for very long and is also unaware of his own background. As time passes, his sense of belonging to our sect is also getting stronger and stronger. At this point, will the desired effect still be achieved?"

Zhu Yi said, "From what it looks like, the Great Void Sect does not want to contact him. I think they are exerting their influence on him through his parents."

"They are even trying their best to hide things from him. Subconsciously, he will try to obtain things of importance from our sect."

"It's not easy to do so, but it's still possible. Especially when things are messy, for example…the War of the Two Worlds."

Shi Tianhao said coldly, "These two parents are tricking their own child. In their bid to seek progress, they may be harming their parental-child relationship."

Luo Qingwu's expression changed, "That person is very filial…"

Zhu Yi said calmly, "Maybe, in the eyes of the parents, they are doing this for their child. In their eyes, the Great Void Sect is the best choice for all of them. What they are doing now is only for the sake of their child in the future."

"From a different perspective, the conclusion would also be different. It's just that they are taking a risk that their child is unaware of. Even if we empathize with them, we cannot ignore this fact."

Lin Feng clapped his palm and everyone shut their mouths before they turned towards him.

"Zhu Yi, thanks for your hard work." Lin Feng said before Zhu Yi bowed towards him, "Master, you are too kind with your words. This is what I should be doing."

Lin Feng then looked at the rest and smiled, "While we have the clues with us now, we can't be sure that the other party is not setting a trap. Thus, we need to verify more things."

"However, to settle this thing, we have to be proactive."

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest bowed to acknowledge his words, "We will remember your advice, Master."

Lin Feng nodded his head, "All of you can retreat now."

The bunch of them nodded their heads. As Lin Feng gestured, they retreated together.

Zhu Yi's Great Sun Avatar thought of something and communicated with his actual body.

His actual body was in a Greater World right now. He wore a purple costume, which was covered by a white robe. He seemed like a young scholar who was sitting in a teahouse and looking at the bustling market right in front of him.

This was a normal town and everyone living here were all normal people. To survive, they did all sorts of jobs and worked hard.

Zhu Yi sat in the teahouse and watched everything quietly. On the simple, rectangular wooden table beside him, there was a teapot and a teacup beside Zhu Yi's hand. There were also two other teacups on the table.

Chapter 1035: Source of the Clues

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

There were two other people along with Zhu Yi at the table. One of them was a lady who wore a yellow robe. She was very elegant and charismatic. Although she did not reveal her status, one could subtly sense the royal stature she possessed.

The other person was a scholar who appeared to be around 30 years old. He was decked in red, along with a green robe as an outer wear. He wore a hat on his head and revealed a sense of his talent as he moved.

As this scholar sat here, he did not reveal any stature, nor was there any vibration of mana around him. But above his head, there was a subtle gas beam that shot into the Nine Heavens. The gas beam was formed from countless literary words that created a piece of enlightening essay.

Zhu Yi looked at this scholar and said, "Comrade Jiao, your literary skills seem to be greater than before. It's a joyous thing as you managed to learn many new stuff."

This scholar in front of him was Jiao Junchen. During the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, he once sparred with Zhu Yi before.

He spent many years reading up and had always been an ordinary scholar. There was no sense of cultivation around him, but after he managed to achieve the position as the top scholar in one of the Great Qin Empire's scholarly examination, he actually attained the Advanced Aurous Core Stage in one shot.

Initially, he did not have a pleasant first experience with Zhu Yi when they first met. It was only after they sparred did they learn more about each other. He was also very impressed by Zhu Yi's cultivation and literary skills.

Through sparring with him, Zhu Yi was also influenced and managed to increase his wisdom.

After their battle, the two of them also became friends. After the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, Jiao Junchen returned to his hometown and retreated to study. He even resigned from his position in the Great Qin Empire to pursue his studies.

At times, when Zhu Yi left to travel, he would go to the Great Qin Empire to visit him. The two of them bonded over literary pieces and conversed about scholarly writings. Outside of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Jiao Junchen was probably one of the few acquaintances that Zhu Yi had.

Jiao Junchen was now in the Beginner Nascent Soul Stage. Not long after the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai, Jiao Junchen broke through his bottleneck and overcame the Void Lightning Tribulations, forming the Nascent Soul.

But after that, he went into his state of reading again. In terms of cultivation, he did not improve anymore.

But in Zhu Yi's eyes, he could tell that as Jiao Junchen's knowledge increased, his culture and literary talents became immense. If he continued on this path, his future would be very bright.

After listening to Zhu Yi's words, Jiao Junchen laughed, "It's a huge honor to receive your compliments."

He was just like before. He was neither handsome nor manly, but he gave a pleasant feeling to everyone who met him.

Zhu Yi heard him and chuckled slightly, "I hope that you will continue to improve in the future. If you continue this way, you will reach the Immortal Soul Stage one day, which is going to be a huge matter."

Jiao Junchen said, "My accumulation was sufficient before, but I still missed by one step and remained in the Advanced Aurous Core Stage. It was only after I sparred you did I break through my bottleneck. I will be more careful this time. The last time, I was too anxious."

Zhu Yi nodded his head, "For a scholar to improve, he must approach with caution. This is the proper way. For you to think like that, I can see that you are not far from the great Dao."

"As for the guy who took the same examination as you and got people raving about him, is there no more news about him anymore?" Jiao Junchen asked. Zhu Yi shook his head, "While there has been no more news about him, I can confirm who he is."

Jiao Junchen nodded his head and did not enquire any further. Zhu Yi lifted his teacup and toasted Jiao Junchen and the lady, "Regardless, it's been tough on you both, Princess Xingyun and Comrade Jiao."

That lady in yellow was Shi Xingyun, the Princess of the Great Qin Empire. She laughed lightly and she lifted her teacup with Jiao Junchen, "Zhu Yi, you are too kind."

Right now, Shi Xingyun was in the Nascent Soul Stage. She tried to hide her aura and not reveal anything. But her stature seemed to be increasing day by day.

Zhu Yi knew her true background and knew that as her cultivation increased, this was something that became more and more obvious.

In fact, Zhu Yi was curious that if Shi Xingyun continued to improve, would she achieve the Immortal Soul or Undying Demon Soul?

If it was just the Immortal Soul First Level or the Undying Demon Soul First Level, it was still fine. Although they were different in some sense, they pursued the same path.

The question laid in if she continued to reach a higher level, which were the Immortal Soul Second Level and Undying Demon Soul Second Level. It would be a different matter then.

"Her dragon soul had experienced changes and the mantra she cultivated was also the Secret Manual of the Five Imperial True Dragons. There was a high possibility that she would achieve the Immortal Soul First Level." Zhu Yi pondered in his heart, "Otherwise, her past efforts would be wasted."

In recent times, both Zhu Yi and Shi Xingyun travelled together to the various Middle Worlds and alternate planes of spaces in the Great Qin Empire, trying to find for clues. Eventually, they managed to discover some trails about the pawn of the Great Void Sect. Zhu Yi was very appreciative for what Shi Xingyun did.

Shi Xingyun looked at Zhu Yi and asked, "Zhu Yi, is there any possibility for someone who cultivates the Mantra of the Great Oblivion to recover after his Dao heart has been crushed? I have never heard of that before."

Although she helped Zhu Yi to search for clues, Shi Xingyun did not question why Zhu Yi did that or whether it affected the rest in the Celestial Sect of Wonders. She did not even try to figure things out herself.

When they reached the place they were finding, Zhu Yi would go on to find for clues while she would stand far away. After the matter was over, she did not investigate further too or ask more from Zhu Yi.

However, with regards to the situation at the Great Void Sect, regardless whether it was the Great Qin Empire or herself, they were both interested. The more they knew, the better it was.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders and Great Void Sect did not exactly share a strained relationship, but they were not harmonious either. This was not a secret in the Divine Lands too.

Thus, Shi Xingyun did not have any taboos that she could not approach, and she asked proactively.

Zhu Yi looked at Shi Xingyun before nodding his head and said, "If one's soul was not rid of the memories of his mantra and foundation, then hope was still alive. But this hope only exists as a glimmer. After all, if there was great hope, one's Dao heart would not have been crushed.

He remained calm. Discussing about the Mantra of the Great Oblivion was fine with him. He did not seem affected by it.

After Shi Xingyun and Jiao Junchen heard him, they nodded their heads and did not ask further.

As Zhu Yi spoke until this point, it was already enough for them.

Shi Xingyun laughed slightly. She turned from a dragon soul into a human one, but even so, no one could figure out her train of thought if she did not say it out explicitly. Under such a circumstance, it might be over the top to reveal so much.

Zhu Yi was clearly aware of this reasoning. So did Shi Xingyun, thus she did not probe further. Anyway, the reply Zhu Yi gave to her was enough for her to report to the Great Qin Empire.

Jiao Junchen changed the topic, "Besides consulting you this time, I actually have something that I need you to help me with."

"Is it for this child?" Zhu Yi turned his attention to the young lady behind Jiao Junchen.

This young lady looked like she was only 12 or 13 years old. Although she was not fully developed yet, it could be seen that she would be a beauty in the future. Especially her big, black eyes that caught people's attention.

Her gaze looked sharp, revealing that she was probably someone who had her own ideas.

Jiao Junchen said, "She's called Jiao Qing, a niece of mine. She has been cultivating since young. Although she's not stable enough, her will is resilient."

Although Jiao Junchen was not old, his Jiao Family was a huge one. The size of the family was large and those of the same seniority were actually quite far off from one another in terms of age. But this was not exactly a rare thing.

"Previously, she cultivated with me, but she was too wild and could not settle down to study. But I can tell that she has potential. However, the only thing is that her line of cultivation probably doesn't suit me. Thus, I brought her here to meet you, hoping that she can join the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

Zhu Yi did not speak and looked at Jiao Junchen. He knew that he was not done with his words.

For those who really wanted to join the sect, the sect would definitely welcome those with ambitions.

To a portion of the people, embarking on the long journey to the Yun Peak would be arduous. But for Jiao Qing, it was not that difficult.

At the same time, Zhu Yi knew that Jiao Junchen was not a selfish person.

Indeed, Jiao Junchen followed by saying, "Everyone who wants to join your sect has to go through the Heart-Revealing Steps. If Jiao Qing wants to do the same, she will be no exception. I have no intention for you to help her out but to let her follow the rules."

"I came to find you today in order to fulfil Jiao Qing and her parents' wishes. That's why I hope that you can supplement her with the Soaring Dragon Spell."

Zhu Yi nodded his head, "You want them to witness what she would be like if she manages to learn your mantras successfully?"

Jiao Junchen replied, "That's what I want."

Jiao Qing's face revealed complex emotions. She was excited, curious, listless and sympathetic.

Zhu Yi's Soaring Dragon Spell could allow those below the Immortal Soul Stage to rise one small realm, until the Advanced Nascent Soul Stage.

Jiao Qing had been following Jiao Junchen to cultivate and developed a scholarly aura. While she did not have any cultivation to herself, the Soaring Dragon Spell and mantras of the Scholarly Sect (which Jiao Junchen cultivated were quite special. As they were unpredictable and miraculous, they allowed Jiao Qing to see how much she could achieve.

Although she did not make much progress, both her and her parents still possessed hope all these years.

Zhu Yi tapped his finger lightly and a pale-white dragon projection started to revolve around Jiao Qing.

Jiao Qing looked excited, but as the projection disappeared, her body didn't experience any changes.

Jiao Junchen shook his head too. He took a recording of that projection using his mana, hoping to bring them back to Jiao Qing's family.

This was the case with the mantras of the Scholarly Sect. Those who succeeded in them could rise overnight. But those who failed could end up studying for ages, even till the day they died.

Jiao Qing looked disappointed yet free. She did not doubt Zhu Yi's powers at all, considering his immense powers and literary prowess.

Zhu Yi looked at her and thought, "She has great potential…"

As he supplemented his Soaring Dragon Spell on Jiao Qing's body, he managed to learn more about her.

Chapter 1036: Motivation to Improve

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Jiao Junchen looked at Jiao Qing and said gently, "Stay resilient and never back down. Know yourself but never be reckless. This is my last lesson to you."

Jiao Qing's gaze regained activity again and she bowed towards Jiao Junchen respectfully, "I understand what you mean, 17th Uncle."

"I am returning to the mountain soon. She shall follow me then. But if she wants to join the sect, the tests that she will have to go through will not just be a few ." Zhu Yi said. Jiao Junchen nodded his head, "This is only rightfully so. I will have to count on you then."

Zhu Yi stood up and clasped his palm and fist towards Shi Xingyun and Jiao Junchen, "I shall take my leave now."

After he used his mana to keep Jiao Qing, he disappeared from where he was. Whereas Shi Xingyun and Jiao Junchen also bade goodbye to each other and left the teahouse.

This Middle World was owned by the Great Qin Empire. As Shi Xingyun flew, she crossed the passageway and was sent to Xiling City by the formation in void space.

After she entered the city, she went to pay her respects to Shi Yu and her mother.

After she greeted Shi Yu, Shi Yu said, "If you have any troubles forming the Immortal Soul, you can find me. I can give you some advice."

Shi Xingyu replied respectfully, "Thank you, Father."

Shi Yu nodded his head, "The improvements in your cultivation is not slow. It is even faster than what I expected. It's just that reaching the Immortal Soul Stage is more difficult than the other stages. You must remain calm and not panic."

"Yes, father. I will remember your advice." Shi Xingyun then reported what she knew about the Mantra of the Great Oblivion from Zhu Yi to Shi Yu.

Shi Yu knew about her travels with Zhu Yi, but to express his respect towards the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Zhu Yi, the Great Qin Empire only remained cognizant of this matter. The empire did not know the details of their travels.

After learning that it had to do with the Great Void Sect, Shi Yu's gaze became serious before it returned back to normal.

Shi Xingyun did not investigate thoroughly, thus she did not know the cause and effect of the matter even if she knew the development.

But just from what she reported, it was sufficient to catch the serious attention of Shi Yu and the Great Qin Empire.

After Shi Yu finished listening to her, he pondered for a while before saying, "Go and rest."

"I shall take my leave now." Shi Xingyun retreated to her residence, which was a medium-sized, exquisite and geographically superior palace.

After washing up, she looked at her reflection in the mirror before she pondered, "The balance of the situation has become more and more delicate, and the oncoming storm is getting more and more obvious…the earlier the War of the Two Worlds occurs, it will be more advantageous for me. The later it comes, the more perilous it is for me."

"There are countless principles of great Dao in the world, and each of them are indeed miraculous in their own ways. The Scholarly Sect's mantras are already very special, while the Mantra of the Great Oblivion of the Great Void Sect is also something on its own."

Just like Shi Xingyun, Zhu Yi was also thinking about the Mantra of the Great Oblivion right now. To a certain extent, this mantra had something to do with him.

"Although I'm without the collection of the Mantra of the Great Oblivion, I can judge from the news that this mantra gives off a weird feeling."

As Zhu Yi was thinking, his actual body flew into void space and returned to Mount Kunlun in the Divine Lands.

After he returned to the mountains, he went to the Tripitaka Block. He went all the way to the third level of it. Over there, Xiao Yan, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao were discussing heatedly after they had received news from him.

Xiao Yan and the others had no intention of cultivating the Mantra of the Great Oblivion, but they were curious about it.

With their current cultivations, a deeper understanding of the great Dao of the Heavens and Earth would also allow them to sense the vastness of the countless mantras in the Heavens and Earth.

Their motivations to improve were different, but their desires and curiosity to learn about the brilliance of the Heavens and Earth were common.

In fact, when their cultivations reached a certain level, all the powerful cultivators had this same trait. But it just differed in terms of their degree of exploration.

Only by understanding could one see the truth within. Only then would one be able to talk about superseding it.

Thus, it was not just the Mantra of the Great Oblivion that Xiao Yan and the others were curious about. They were also interested in other mantras from different sects, especially those that they were still unclear about at the moment.

As for the more special ones that were vastly different from other mantras, they were even more interested. For example, there were the Mantra of the Great Oblivion and mantras from the Scholarly Sect. There was even the Ancient Satanic Mantra among many others.

Of course, the mantra that left Xiao Yan and the others most captivated about was still the Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtue. Every time they cultivated it, they felt that they were gaining more and more.

And as they cultivated the Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtue while referencing to other mantras, they managed to gain even more through this method.

With the Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtue as a foundation, Xiao Yan and the others actually had some ideas about the mantras of other sects. If they were willing, they just needed some time before they could be superior to the descendant disciples of other sects. But since they had the Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtue already, Xiao Yan and the rest did not have to do this.

In the face of their enemies, Xiao Yan and the others had their own pride. But their understandings of the great Dao were coated with respect and they led the charge in this road to cultivation.

"The Mantra of the Great Oblivion contains the powers of life and destruction of the Heavens and Earth." Xiao Yan said, "Not to even mention a cultivator's broken Dao heart, the key lies in the crushed foundation that prevents him from switching to other mantras. This probably is because of the powers of life and destruction in the mantra."

"And if one's Dao heart can be reconstructed, his cultivation will restore rapidly. He may even recover in a day, which probably lies in the power of mantra creation that exists inside the mantra."

"But thinking about it, if one's Dao heart is crushed again, he will fall back to the depths of failure once again."

Xiao Yan twisted his mouth, "It's just that a cultivator can't control the balance of life and destruction. He has to follow the guidance of the mantra in order to achieve the required balance. This is actually a huge flaw and disadvantage."

"More strictly speaking, this is a mantra that is greatly flawed and incomplete."

Xiao Yan's words would cause a huge commotion if it spreads outside. The entire Divine Lands will be rocked and Mount Baiyun might even erupt violently.

Right now, everyone could confirm the might of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. But the name of the Great Void Sect had been around for years.

The Mantra of the Great Oblivion and the Yin-Yang Mantra of the Void were collectively known as the two spells of "Great" and "Void". They formed the core of the Great Void Sect, and were even greater than the Dragon Morphing Mantra, Bright Space Pure Yin Treasure Manual, Pure Yang Righteous Heart Mantra, Exploration of the Great Void Thinking and other miraculous spells.

However, Xiao Yan claimed that this respected mantra was actually flawed and incomplete. If the Great Void Sect knew this, they would probably want his life.

But Xiao Yan's tone of voice was relaxed and he did not seem to be spouting nonsense. It was obvious that his words had gone through some serious thinking before they were spoken.

And in front of him, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao were calm too. They did not seemed surprised.

Wang Lin then said slowly, "The Mantra of the Great Oblivion's core lies in the Great Oblivion. While the emotions of the world can enter one's heart in an instant, it can also leave any time."

"Once one's heart is clear, it would clearly reflect the way of the Heavens and Earth. A cultivator will experience tremendous progress as a result."

"Of course, this is the ideal state. The Mantra of the Great Oblivion wants every cultivator to follow this, but no one can always maintain this state. Once one's emotions are involved, he will go further and further from this state."

Shi Tianhao shook his head and said, "Cultivating this mantra has no middle ground. The mortal world doesn't exist. Either one goes to the Heavens or he dies."

"Although the great Dao can't be achieved easily and is fraught with dangers, such a situation is problematic." Xiao Yan stood up suddenly and walked to the side of this level. He looked into void space, "There are many other mantras that are more perilous than the Mantra of the Great Oblivion. There are many cases for the satanic mantras."

"However, these mantras provided opportunities that are brought about by dangers. Without dangers, there would be no opportunities. From the very start, one had to fight to survive."

"The Mantra of the Great Oblivion is a stepping stone to the Heavens. But it's a pity that the stone breaks halfway and one will descend into the depths of Hell as he steps on nothing."

Xiao Yan turned around and looked at his juniors, "Now, the question is here. Why can't anybody see what we are seeing now, even though the Great Void Sect has been around for years? Is there no need for change, or is there no hope for change?"

Zhu Yi walked beside Xiao Yan and looked into the distance, "The key probably lies in the other spell of the two spells of "Great" and "Void", the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void."

Xiao Yan nodded is head, "Yin and Yang are limitless, destiny achieves a balance, void space is boundless and is always miraculous. Yin Yang Mantra of the Void can balance the flaw of the powers of life and destruction in the Mantra of the Great Oblivion.

"But the Great Void Sect cultivators that we have met all specialize in a certain mantra. There must be something more to this. Without interacting with those two spells, we can't make a logical conclusion from what we have now."

Shi Tianhao and Wang Lin looked at each other before saying, "I think only one type of mantra can be cultivated. More accurately speaking, only one type of mantra can be cultivated before a certain level."

Zhu Yi pondered before saying, "It should be the Immortal Soul Second Level from what it seems now."

"Oh?" Xiao Yan understood him the moment he heard his words. "What did all of you discover in the process of fighting the Xuan Lin Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou?"

Regardless whether it was their actual bodies or avatars, only Xiao Yan had not fought the Xuan Lin Holy Man or Cai Fengzhou among the four of them.

Above the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, Lin Feng sat on his knees. He swept his gaze across the Tripitaka Block and smiled, "Not bad, quick reactions."

Chapter 1037: Celestial Sect Focus Group Discussion?

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

In the entire Celestial Sect of Wonders, the first person to encounter an Immortal Soul Second Level cultivator in the Great Void Sect was Lin Feng.

In the Greater World more than 10 years ago, during the Battle of Xiling City, Lin Feng sparred with Kuang Heng and the Xuan Lin Holy Man. He also briefly exchanged blows with the Zheng Yi Holy Man.

From then on, Lin Feng had his own thoughts about the mantras of the Great Void Sect. But it's just that he was not exactly equipped with detailed knowledge of their mantras, thus he could only make paper guesses.

Following the introduction of the Two Elements Chapter, Lin Feng cultivated the virtual entity. He relied on the Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtues to try and deduce the secrets of the mantras of the Great Void Sect and managed to achieve some progress. His train of thought then became clearer.

The Xuan Lin Holy Man relied on the Mantra of the Great Oblivion. After he reached the Immortal Soul Second Level, his Dao Fruit was the Heavenly Destruction.

But when they fought at Xiling City, Lin Feng could subtly sense that he possessed back ground in the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void, but it was not just as deep as that of the Mantra of the Great Oblivion. Although he did not reveal any related powers, Lin Feng could still tell.

And on Kuang Heng, this point was far more obvious. Although Kuang Heng only used the Mantra of the Great Oblivion to spar with Lin Feng, his cultivation of the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void was more obvious. However, it was also less cultivated than his Mantra of the Great Oblivion.

If he used the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void to challenge Lin Feng, it would not be comparable to the Mantra of the Great Oblivion. But this did not mean that Kuang Heng's Yin Yang Mantra of the Void was useless.

On his body, the "Great" and "Void" spells complemented each other. Although the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void was not explicitly used, it could be seen that it supplemented the Mantra of the Great Oblivion to great effect.

When it came to the Zheng Yi Holy Man, it was even more obvious.

It was only a brief exchange of blows during the Battle of Xiling City, thus not much could be told. The recent fight at the Starry Sea allowed Lin Feng to confirm that the Zheng Yi Holy Man definitely cultivated the "Great" and "Void" spells to the highest level.

The Zheng Yi Holy Man also relied on the Mantra of the Great Oblivion to get where he was now, achieving the Immortal Soul Avatar, virtual entity and finally the way of the virtual entity.

But Lin Feng could almost confirm that besides using the Mantra of the Great Oblivion to cultivate a Dao Fruit, the Zheng Yi Holy Man also used the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void to cultivate another Dao Fruit.

With two different yet similar Dao Fruits, the current Zheng Yi Holy Man was created.

A highly skilled monk from the Great Thunderclap with the Golden Form Third Level would only try to reach the Cardinal Tribulations Stage with the complete Tathagata Dharmas of the Compass.

But a monk in the Golden Form Third Level would only need one out of the five Tathagata Dharmas. The other four would serve to assist the leading one. But their effects could not be underestimated. Without one of them, trying to reach the Cardinal Tribulations Stage would be fraught with countless risks.

Thus, after the Vairocana Sutra was lost after the previous War of the Two Worlds, no one from the Great Thunderclap Temple was able to reach the Cardinal Tribulations Stage.

And Lin Feng suspected that the mantras of the Great Void Sect possessed stricter requirements. In the Immortal Soul Third Level, one needed two Dao Fruits, one from the "Great" spell and one from the "Void" spell. This would then allow one to progress forward to the Cardinal Tribulations Stage.

Otherwise, both Dao Fruits had to combine in order to complete the Cardinal Tribulations Stage to reach the Vipralopa Realm.

"Not only does the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void make up for whatever flaws of the Mantra of the Great Oblivion, the Mantra of the Great Oblivion is also a great complement to the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void." Lin Feng thought, "Although it's not as flawed as the Mantra of the Great Oblivion, the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void still possesses its own flaws."

At this point, Lin Feng still had not analyzed the two spells of "Great" and "Void". But his Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtue managed to deduce the components of them. Even without the original spells around, Lin Feng could still roughly gauge what they were like.

His discovery was even more insane than that of Xiao Yan and was more likely to enrage the cultivators of the Great Void Sect.

That's because the conclusion of Lin Feng was even more far-fetched than that of Xiao Yan. Not only did he believe that the Mantra of the Great Oblivion was flawed, he also thought that the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void was fraught with imperfections.

The two spells of "Great" and "Void" from the Great Void Sect were imperfect and there were mistakes that could be resolved.

Once this news spread, there would be a huge uproar in the Divine Lands. Even the Barren Expanses would be rocked by this news.

However, those who were of lower cultivations wouldn't understand the situation. Only those who were more senior would notice this.

As one's cultivation increased, his understanding of the way of the Heavens and Earth would become deeper. Their comprehension of their own mantras would become more detailed and they would understand the truth of things better.

"The past cultivators of the Great Void Sect would have noticed this and tried to alleviate the problem." Lin Feng thought, "Through years of trying to mend the flaws, there should be some progress on their side, considering the array of talents that they possess."

"But now it seems like that their intention is to allow the two mantras to combine to form one. Not only will this solve the current problem, it will even go as far as to improve both mantras."

But it's just that this would impose a level of difficulty. Until now, the barrier was still stuck at the Immortal Soul Third Level. To progress further, the Great Void Sect had to continue researching further.

On the body of Elegant Cloud Holy Woman, Lin Feng could sense the presence of a mantra.

"However, the Great Void Sect is filled with talents." Lin Feng smiled, "Even with flaws, the two spells of "Great" and "Void" are still legendary. They are one of the most outstanding mantras that are passed down generations after generations."

"But it's a pity that the Great Void Holy Man went to the Death Sea, Wen Chiyang met with difficulties in his life and the Tai Yi Holy Man was hurt by the Hades Emperor. Otherwise, we may be seeing a different scene than what it is now. If both mantras were not combined together to complement each other's flaws and were perfected on their own, the both of them would be even more powerful."

The more outstanding a mantra was, the deeper the level of the mantra. It was fine if the mantra did not have a flaw. But once there was an obvious flaw, mending it would be very difficult.

Lin Feng stood up from the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree. As he stepped forward, he had already reached the Tripitaka Block. Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao greeted him as they saw him. Lin Feng waved them off, "Spare the formalities."

He came to a bamboo chair in the center of the top level of the Tripitaka Block and sat down. He looked at Xiao Yan and the others before laughing, "The few of you are having a heated discussion."

Xiao Yan and the others looked at one another before they laughed. Shi Tianhao followed by saying, "Master, we were just talking about the powers and mantras of the Xuan Lin Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou."

"While Cai Fengzhou's Yin Yang Revolution Dao Fruit came from the Yin Yang Void Mantra and his powers came from the Yin Yang Void Mantra when he sparred against the Great Sun Avatar and I…"

Shi Tianhao picked his brows, "…But I can subtly sense the Mantra of the Great Oblivion on him. This is not based on anything but a feeling. He did not exhibit the powers of the Mantra of the Great Oblivion fully, but I just can't shake this feeling off myself."

Zhu Yi said from one side, "If it's only him that has that feeling, it may be wrong. But I have the same feeling too, which means that we may be right."

"I also feel the same thing for the Xuan Lin Holy Man. But it just happens to be the other way round, as I can subtly see the shadow of the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void behind the Mantra of the Great Oblivion." Wang Lin followed by saying, "Since three of us feel the same way, it shouldn't be wrong or a coincidence."

He paused for a moment before continuing to say, "If the other party has the intention to misguide us and we can't detect that, it only suggests that we are inferior to him, but…"

As he said, Wang Lin shook his head. He was not arrogant, but was not too dismissive of himself either.

If one was to say that he was too far off from the Zheng Yi Holy Man, he would admit it. But compared to the Xuan Lin Holy Man, they were almost at a similar level.

Lin Feng looked at the bunch of disciples but did not explain any further. On the other hand, he laughed and pointed at them, "Since all of you are so interested, all of you can try to figure this out."

"While the two mantras that we are talking about have their own flaws, they were still indeed quite exceptional. Since all of you are good at figuring things out, I believe that the effect on your cultivations will be quite beneficial."

Lin Feng laughed, "All of your current cultivations are beyond a certain level now. You can try to expand your understandings of different mantras, which may be very beneficial to your improvements in the future."

"Not only just the mantras of the Great Void Sect, this logic applies to the mantras of other sects too. If you can discover a way to mend the flaws or to improve them, it will be very rewarding for you."

Xiao Yan opened his mouth, "Master, we don't have a lot of mantras at hand. For example, the two mantras that we were just talking about are one of them. We are just being paper generals now."

Lin Feng shook his head, "Relying on the foundation of our sect, with a few clues, you can gain a lot. Although you don't get the real deal, you are no longer just a paper general."

"We don't have to obtain the mantras of others or cultivate them. The important thing is what you gain in the process of figuring things out."

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao nodded their heads in acknowledgement, "We understand, Master."

Lin Feng looked at them and he started laughing, "Why does this feel like a focus group discussion. Hehe, but this topic that we are broaching will not be well-liked by others…"

In an instant, Lin Feng's urge to make jokes was about to be erupt, "Oh, what's the name again? Celestial Sect Focus Group Discussion?"

He laughed while shaking his head, before he disappeared from the Tripitaka Block and returned to the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree. The door to the Starry Sea opened and he faced the starlight, continuing his cultivation.

At the top floor of the Tripitaka Block, Xiao Yan and the few others sent him off. After that, Xiao Yan turned to looked at the rest, saying, "While we are busy with our own cultivations, we can't ignore that of our disciple."

"Fortunately, the second-generation disciples are already on the right track. Furthermore, they are capable of supporting themselves and we can pass the third-generation disciples to them. But we still need to advise them at times."

Shi Tianhao laughed, "Second and Third Senior both have avatars. This problem only applies to the both of us."

Xiao Yan laughed too, "That's true."

Zhu Yi and Wang Lin both laughed lightly. As Wang Lin thought of something, inside the Forest Abode, the Great Satanic Avatar woke up from its rest state and stood up, before pushing the door and walked out.

Chapter 1038: Wang Lin's First Disciple

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar walked out from his room towards the mountains with his hands behind his back.

His Forest Abode was constructed on a courtyard built from the mountain rocks of Mount Yujing. As Wang Lin left the courtyard, he did not break through space and flew away. He remained like a normal person and walked in the mountains.

His ferocious Great Satanic Avatar retracted his aura too at this point and seemed to be similar to Wang Lin's actual appearance.

Wang Lin walked all the way up to the top of the mountain and saw that there was a formation set up over there. The formation flashed with white radiance.

In the center of the formation, a charming yet gentle lady in purple sat cross-legged over there. Her eyes were shut too. She was the Successive Disciple of Wang Lin, Li Xingfei.

Wang Lin came before her and sized her up before saying, "The one year period is reaching. Are you ready?"

Li Xingfei shut her eyes and looked at Wang Lin. She did not stand up to greet him, not because she did not want to, but because her entire person had already combined with the formation. If she moved, everything would be wasted.

"I am ready." Li Xingfei said in a low voice, before she shut her eyes again.

Wang Lin tapped lightly with his finger and the flashing white formation turned even faster. The white light turned to black gas gradually, engulfing Li Xingfei.

Besides Wang Lin and Li Xingfei, no one knew what Li Xingfei was going to face. As black gas revolved, only Wang Lin's voice could be heard, "For you to form the Aurous Core and overcome the barriers of life and death, it shows your courage. The previous few times, you fell in the last stage. But I hope you will make it this time."

No sound resonated from the formation, and only black gas were rumbling continuously.

Rings and rings of light belts then expanded out in all directions. But as Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar gripped his palm, the black light was covered and was unable to expand any further.

He remained calm and looked at the black gas in front without revealing any emotions.

A few streaks of mana projections landed beside him. They were Xiao Yan and the rest. As he saw the formation in front of him, Xiao Yan asked, "Which attempt is this?"

Wang Lin replied, "Including the time when we entered the Void Battleground, this will be the sixth attempt. There have been three tries recently and there's one try every year in the Greater World."

Zhu Yi said gradually, "Her personality is calm and she is a very logical person. She is also sufficiently resilient and can hold her ground. Although she's a girl, she is not inferior to a guy."

"Her achievements won't stop here, or at least she won't be inferior to Ying Luozha or Xu Yunsheng. The only thing that's probably restricting her is a sense of sharpness. She may be motivated and is good in choosing the best path for herself. But sometimes, being too logical may be a form of restriction."

Xiao Yan nodded his head, "On the path to cultivation, it's not good to be reckless. But this does not mean that remaining patient will always lead to the path of success. While being slow and steady is important, some barriers require determination, willpower, wisdom and also some courage."

He looked at the rumbling black gas in the formation, "This is not just suitable for normal cultivation. Even for socializing on the outside, the same rule applies."

"During the Spiritual Conference of Kunlun Mountains, she was ambushed by Yang Likun. While she reacted well, she was still gravely hurt. A precarious environment is one thing. But acting decisively and quickly is also important."

"At many times, there's only a thin line between life and death."

"Third Junior arranged this for her because she may meet with similar situations in the future and this is something that she has to be wary of."

Shi Tianhao turned to Wang Lin, "Third Senior, if she can pass this practice and build up on her weakness, thereby improving herself, she will be your First Disciple?"

Wang Lin replied, "That's right."

Shi Tianhao pursed his lips, "This First Disciple position of yours has been empty for years."

"I rather that it be empty than I choose the wrong person." Wang Lin answered, "Tian Quan fits the requirements, but her condition is special. Among the second-generation disciples, I think the most outstanding is Tian Chi, but she can do better."

Xiao Yan placed his hands behind his head and said in a relaxed tone, "Regarding her parents, do we have to tell her face to face? This may leave her more frustrated. With her character, she will be in a dilemma."

"No matter how aloof one is, she will still have feelings. She is a very filial person, thus this won't be easy for her, even when compared against the obstacle she's facing now. I don't think it's necessary to make her go through this torment."

"As long as we can confirm that she is unaware of this, she will be a disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, one with good performance, loyalty and contributes greatly to the sect. For such a disciple, we should protect her."

Zhu Yi said, "This concerns her parents, and the truth is not concealed from her parents either. In this way, she will have to face it eventually. Let her make her decision."

Xiao Yan thought for a while before answering, "You are not wrong."

He turned to look at Wang Lin, "What about your opinion?"

Wang Lin was very calm and said, "I believe that she can handle it well. I won't be wrong."

"It's too late even if you are wrong. Although it is only before the Aurous Core is formed that the Great Celestial Way of the Eight Trigrams is cultivated, it is still something that is passed down generations after generations." Wang Lin was obviously joking, "If we are sold out to the Great Void Sect, we can't do anything either."

As Wang Lin and Zhu Yi heard him, they laughed. If Wang Lin was wrong, it wouldn't be too late. As the Celestial Sect of Wonders developed till now, it was slowly being developed in all areas. Whether it was in terms of infrastructure, resources or other things, the Celestial Sect of Wonders was well-equipped.

While they might not seem eye-catching, it was the accumulation of the powers of the sect that was the true strength of the sect. It was also the foundation they could base their progress in the future.

Zhu Yi pondered for a while before saying, "Maybe, we don't have to put Tian Chi in a difficult spot…"

As they heard his words, Xiao Yan, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao turned their attention over, "Are you saying…"

Zhu Yi did not even finish speaking, but the rest knew what he meant already. Xiao Yan said, "But we can't confirm in terms of time. We may have to wait very long."

Wang Lin then said, "It may not be long too."

"That's right." Xiao Yan laughed as he heard this. Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao both chuckled too, "Then let's wait then."

Shi Tianhao took a look at the formation, "It's about to end."

The black gas around the formation reached the peak gradually. This black gas did not seem frightening nor deadly.

It was not just pure darkness or terror. There was no accumulation of Yin energy or any ghostly presence around.

It was silent, as if it was just pure black gas. But there was a sense of portent.

Wang Lin looked at the black gas in front quietly. As the black gas rose to the top, he nodded his head and said, "It's a success."

As he just finished speaking, the black gas started to fall apart quickly. Whereas a gentle white light rose from within.

The white light became brighter and brighter. At the end, it was unleashed fully and covered the top of the mountain fully. In the center of the white light, Li Xingfei sat cross-legged and clasped her palms together. No sense of aura was revealed from her body, but she seemed to have undergone a total transformation.

Li Xingfei opened her eyes and looked at Wang Lin in front of her. She seemed very agitated.

After so many failed attempts, she finally made it today. Even though she was normally very calm, she was very excited now.

But Li Xingfei calmed down very soon and bowed towards Wang Lin. After that, she greeted Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao.

Xiao Yan and the others nodded their heads and their mana projections disappeared. Only Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar remained. He looked at Li Xingfei and said, "Well done."

Li Xingfei was very accustomed to her Master's style after many years under him. Even in the face of surprising things, he remained indifferent.

However, Li Xingfei knew that Wang Lin was very pleased with her success. After she came under Wang Lin, the number of times he said "Well done" to her was probably a few only.

Wang Lin said, "There's two things I need you to know. Firstly, from today onwards, you will be the First Disciple among the second-generation disciples in the Forest Abode."

As Li Xingfei heard him, she was jolted.

Among the eight different lines in the Celestial Sect of Wonders, all of them had already established their First Disciples except for the Forest Abode.

Wang Lin's Forest Abode remained silent about who the First Disciple would be.

Among all the disciples in the Forest Abode, there were outstanding ones, which included Dao Yuting and Li Xingfei.

As time passed, everyone understood that Dao Yuting had no intention of being the First Disciple. She was focused on her own cultivation and had no interest in interacting with others. Thus, everyone guessed that the First Disciple position more or less belonged to Li Xingfei.

Li Xingfei was originally the earliest Successive Disciple in the Forest Abode. Her performance had been outstanding all the while too. Although she was slightly inferior to Tang Jun, Zhou Yuncong, Yang Tie and Huang Zhenting, she was still brilliant.

But the final result left everyone shocked. Wang Lin rather leave the spot empty then confirm Li Xingfei's position as the First Disciple of the Forest Abode.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders was very peaceful internally, but for those who received news in the outside world, they had many guesses. They believed that Li Xingfei incurred the wrath of Wang Lin. There were those who picked on Li Xingfei, while there were also those who picked on Wang Lin too.

As many of them were afraid of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Wang Lin's might, they only discussed things in secret. But there were some schools of thoughts that became very popular too.

Li Xingfei knew very well that if she passed Wang Lin's test, then it was highly likely that she would take over the position as the Fist Disciple. Of course, her time and chances were limitless.

With regards to her own Master, Li Xingfei understood quite a bit about him. She knew that he won't set a test for her that she was destined not to pass for the sake of doing so.

The previous failures allowed Li Xingfei to realize that they were all because of her. Thus, she kept on pushing herself to overcome the problem. Now that she succeeded, she would be able to reap the fruits of her labor.
