Chapter 943: The Nine Heavens Sword and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

In this Outer Realm, there was only one entrance, which was through the Steel Polarity Mine. However, at this moment, another tear opened in the space within the Outer Realm and a second gateway appeared.

"The Outer Realm's space is not stable to begin with. As we fight, we are creating too much disturbance for this space till the point that the order of space in this Outer Realm is ruined. Hence, another gateway appeared." As Shi Tianhao thought, he understood its implications. "However, I wonder where does the new gateway lead to?"

He swept his surroundings with his gaze and discovered unintentionally that Chu Yang's gaze too was in the direction of the new gateway. He was shocked as he thought, "Strange, it is normal for Third Senior and I to discover it. However, how did he find out? Even Fifth Senior has yet to discover it."

While he felt odd, at this moment, Shi Tianhao had no time to overthink. He immediately warned Yang Qing and the rest telepathically.

Wang Lin and he too made mental preparations in case new enemies entered the Outer Realm through the new gateway.

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage, the Yu'ao Dragon King and the Zu'e Grand Sage did the same. As they fought ceaselessly against Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao, they too devoted a bit of their attention to this new development.

The hearts of the many powerful cultivators and demons tremored slightly. They felt that someone had entered through the new gateway. After the newcomer came into contact with their supernatural awareness, he quickly hid himself.

The few of them were slightly apprehensive. Not only was there a newcomer, his mastery level was quite high as well.

While there was considerable distance between them, he had to be powerful to avoid detection by Wang Lin's and Shi Tianhao's supernatural awareness, just like how Wang Lin and Shi Tianaho themselves avoided detection by the Lu Yuan Grand Sage too.

"And there's more than one…" The Lu Yuan Grand Sage's face turned black as his hatred for the Celestial Sect of Wonders increased. Here, he had been working hard without any interference on his 'project'. Just as he was about to succeed, so many people came to stir up trouble for him.

Chu Yang, like the Lu Yuan Grand Sage, was not in a good mood too. He only could feel the sword shadow in his soul trembling more and more ceaselessly.

He had only encountered something like this once before. That was when he and the other Ethereal Mountain Sect disciples were in the Grand Heavens Pavilion on top of Mount Yujing during the Anti-Celestial Sect War.

Afterwards, Chu Yang guessed that it was because of the many powerful cultivators and magic items present there, such as Shao Dongtian of the East Heaven's Gate and Mahayana level Xuan Heaven Seal.

However, he did not know whether it was because Shao Dongtian's cultivation of the teachings of Heaven's Gate was incomplete, or whether it was because the Celestial Sect of Wonders' Grand Heavens Pavilion which separated them triggered a vibration that he felt was not as strong. Of course, it could be a combination of both factors.

However, at this moment, Chu Yang felt the sword shadow in his soul crying out and shaking non-stop agitatedly and frantically, as if it was begging for something. Yet, at the same time, it appeared wary too.

He waved his longsword and a cold, ancient sword radiance shot out from it, severely injuring one of the Demonic Lord stage Heaven-Carrying Ant. That was one of the Great Nine Heavens Holy Sword Technique, the East Cang Heaven Sword.

However, the moment Chu Yang used that move, he could feel the sensation in his heart growing stronger and stronger as the sword shadow trembled even more violently.

Chu Yang frowned and decided to not use the Great Nine Heavens Holy Sword Technique anymore. Instead, he used his Blood River Divine Sword to battle against the Heaven-Carrying Ants.

At this moment, the skies far away opened and a human figure stepped out.

Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao discovered his existence immediately. When they looked over, they realized that it was a handsome, middle-aged man. His moustache fell gently by the side of his cheeks and he had a long, willowy beard too. He wore a high crown on his head and his clothes appeared magnificent and ancient.

In his hand, he wielded a broad longsword. On the body of his sword, there were many ancient runes. The entire sword was light gold and from it, one could feel a powerful sword will. The sword Qi that it gave off steamed into the heavens, shaking all creations as if it wanted to slice everything.

However, after they looked at the middle-aged man for a while, Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao, the Lu Yuan Grand Sage, the Yu'ao Dragon King and the Zu'e Grand Sage all frowned and thought, "A Mahayana level magic treasure?"

The man was the sword spirit on the longsword that he wielded in his hands.

Wang Lin's gaze flashed as he said, "This sword will is extremely similar to Chu Yang's Great Nine Heavens Holy Sword Technique…. Indeed, it is the Cang Heaven Spell Blade!"

It was the Mahayana level Cang Heaven Spell Blade, one of the Nine Treasures of Heaven's Gate

In the last year of the Antiquity Age, after experiencing two world-level catastrophically destructive wars, the Heaven's Gate was destroyed and many of its treasures were stolen. Many of the Nine Treasures of Heaven's Gate were destroyed and ruined, only the Cang Heaven Spell Blade of the East and the Zhu Heaven Pagoda of the South-West were not damaged.

The Zhu Heaven Pagoda of the South-West later fell into Shao Dongtian's hands and turned into the East Heaven's Gate abode. However, the Cang Heaven Spell Blade of the East disappeared without a trace. There had been no news of it all this while.

Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao never expected to meet the Cang Heaven Spell Blade in this Outer Realm.

Shi Tianhao thought, "No wonder Chu Yang can feel his existence too. However, I don't think it's only because of his cultivation. He may be keeping some other secret too."

Chu Yang took in a deep breath and calmed himself totally. While he inherited the teaching of the Heaven's Gate Great Nine Heavens Holy Sword Technique, as well as the treasures of the Heaven's Gate, his heart felt heavy as he stared at the Cang Heaven Spell Blade.

He himself knew that the reason the Cang Heaven Spell Blade revealed himself in spite of many powerful cultivators and demons was because of him!

In other words, he was coming for the Nine Heavens Sword Sword Shadow in his soul!

Other than the Great Heavenly Wheels of Heaven's Gate, its second Destiny-level magic treasure was the Nine Heavens Sword. However, before they finished cultivating the Nine Heavens Sword, Heaven's Gate was destroyed.

Unlike the Immortal Dragon City or the Life and Death Book, both of which were Destiny-level magic treasure that were half-completed, the Nine Heavens Sword was not even half-completed.

However, then, the Heaven's Gate already took the first step to success. They managed to come up with a concrete plan and by getting many people to help them, they were able to form a sword shadow first.

With the sword shadow as its basis, it was able to make even more types of treasure. Then, they were not far from forming the actual physical form of the sword, which meant that success was only a step away for them.

The sword shadow later entered Chu Yang's body and paired up with his soul. Chu Yang was hence able to obtain the true understanding of the Great Nine Heavens Holy Sword Technique from this sword shadow.

All these years, as Chu Yang cultivated, he also searched for treasures that could help the sword shadow achieve its physical form. Amongst the nine treasures he needed, he had already collected five.

The Creation Heavenly Crystal that he searched for in the Nine Netherworld Ghost Monkey Tribe's territory was one such treasure.

Through the sword shadow of the Nine Heavens Sword, Chu Yang could feel that the Cang Heaven Spell Blade in front of him possessed the sixth item that he needed.

However…

Chu Yang laughed bitterly. He was lucky if the Cang Heaven Spell Blade spared his life, much less give him the treasure he needed.

Through the Nine Heaven Sword Sword Shadow, Chu Yang understood that if the Cang Heaven Spell Blade was able to absorb and cultivate the Nine Heaven Sword Sword Shadow, then it would be able to ascend to the next level. Even if he did not achieve the Destiny level immediately, he would be able to form it one day.

When Heaven's Gate formed the Nine Heavens Sword, this was one of their plans.

However, the Nine Heavens Sword Sword Shadow now co-existed with Chu Yang's soul. To absorb and cultivate it, Chu Yang must die.

Today, as the Nine Heavens Sword was still incomplete, its powers could not be used and maximized. On the other hand, the Cang Heaven Spell Blade was a Mahayana level magic treasure since the Antiquity Age. It was not injured and after so many years of cultivation, it was in its peak Mahayana level.

He was a sword, an object for killing and war. In terms of offense and destructiveness, he was already more powerful than the peak Mahayana level Wheel of Six Paths.

Facing against the Nine Heavens Sword, he was able to subdue it.

The sword spirit of the Cang Heaven Spell Blade was known as the Cang Heaven Blade. At that moment, his gaze was fixed on Chu Yang. Slowly, he shook his head and said, "I have been travelling in the void and incidentally, I discovered this opening. I could not have imagined that by entering this Outer Realm, I was able to accomplish what I had been searching for ten thousand years."

He looked at Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao, the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and the rest and said, "I'm here only for him. I don't care about the rest."

With that, he took a step forward and arrived at the mountaintop!

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage did not believe Cang Heaven Blade's words completely. However, seeing as how his gaze was fixated on Shi Tianhao's and Wang Lin's companion, he was happy to watch the show and naturally, he would not stop him.

Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao frowned while the Heaven-Sealing Lord's expression was icy-cold. He slapped the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner's flagpole and Xu Anda floated down immediately and stepped in front of the Cang Heaven Blade.

The Cang Heaven Blade's eyebrows arched as he said, "From your mana, are you a disciple of Emperor Dou?"

Just as how the Emperor Yue obtained his posthumous name, the Emperor of Violence, after his death, the Emperor of the Dead was not known as that during his reign. Instead, he was known as Emperor Dou. After his death, he became known as the Emperor of the Death and the name 'Emperor Dou' gradually fell into disuse.

Xu Anda's face was emotionless as he did not even bother with a reply. He began to exude the Netherworld Immemorial Grand Cataclysmic Curse, a spell directly inherited from the Emperor of the Dead, as his response.

The Cang Heaven Blade did not expect Xu Anda to reply. After he asked, the Cang Heaven Spell Blade in his hand turned into a blazing light as it came slicing towards Xu Anda.

Many mantras and spells concentrated in the sword. As the sword came crashing down, it was as if the great, heavenly Dao had issued a divine punishment.

Luo Qingwu looked at this sword and her gaze flashed. "Ten thousand mantras into a sword, ten thousand spells into a sword. With one sword, it can produce ten thousand mantras. The Great Nine Heavens Holy Sword Technique is truly exceptional."

"Ooh, from a certain perspective, it is akin to the Mount Shu Sword Sect's sword mantra where one sword can turn into ten thousand swords while ten thousand swords are all from a single sword."

Xu Anda and the Cang Heaven Blade clashed. As both of their masteries were similar, neither side gained the upper hand.

A peak Mahayana level magic treasure that can fully wield the power of the Cang Heaven Spell Blade was similar in strength to a Immortal Soul Third Level cultivator.

If it were another cultivator who wielded the Great Nine Heavens Holy Sword Technique, Chu Yang would probably watch the battle in daze as he tried to study and memorize everything. Right now, however, he could feel his heart growing cold.

As Xu Anda battled against the Cang Heaven Blade, Shi Tianhao had to face the Yu'ao Dragon King and the Zu'e Grand Sage alone. He was slowly losing his advantage.

The Cang Heaven Blade looked at the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and the other demons, frowned and said to the Celestial Sect of Wonders, "I don't want this to happen. However, I must have this person. If you are willing to hand him over to me, I shall join your side and together, we shall vanquish the demons."

Chapter 944: In the Same Vein; It Is Surely Because of Their Master

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

When the Heaven Spell Blade said that, the Lu Yuan Grand Sage, the Yu'ao Dragon King and the Zu'e Grand Sage all paused. Their gaze turned more serious.

With the current tide of battle, if the Heaven Spell Blade were to help either party, he would be able to break through the other side's defenses and achieve a complete change in the battle situation.

Right now, by fighting against Xu Anda, he was able to free up the Zu'e Grand Sage and the Yu'ao Dragon King.

The Zu'e Grand Sage went up to harass Shi Tianhao while the Yu'ao Dragon King rushed towards the black mountaintop. Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu were there. Capturing the three of them would achieve his objective.

Chu Yang's expression was serious. He did not look at Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao and company. He also did not await his death by doing nothing. Instead, he continued fighting against the Heaven-Carrying Ant avatars of the Lu Yuan Grand Sage.

The Heaven Spell Blade might have revealed himself, but he was not fearful. He stabbed out with his sword and his sword Qi turned red-hot. A formless sword will hovered in the mind, turning into a furnace with a form as it enveloped an entire group of Demonic Lord stage Heaven Carrying Ants.

The powerful sword will turned the entire area into a furnace as it turned the demons within. It was the South Yan Heaven Sword of the Great Nine Heavens Holy Sword Technique.

In the entire Celestial Sect of Wonders, regardless whether it was Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao, Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang or Luo Qingwu, none paid special attention to Chu Yang.

Even Han Yang, Huang Zhenting, Tan Yunqing and Zhuge Wanqiu and the later generation disciples did nothing.

Because in the hearts of the Celestial Sect of Wonders disciples, they never even considered such an alliance!

Wang Lin completely ignored the Cang Heaven Spell Blade and Shi Tianhao smiled and said, "If you want to fight, come! Do you think we're scared of you? Everyone shall compete purely based on their abilities here."

Yang Qing stood on top of the black mountain and lifted his head to look at the Cang Heaven Spell Blade and said quietly, "Daoist Chu here is with us. We must protect him and while we don't know who is right and who is wrong in your dispute with him, we are willing to talk it out with you after the battle."

"However, now, if you wish to take advantage of the situation to suppress us and force us to hand him over, then perhaps you are underestimating the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

Even Xu Anda's icy-cold and expressionless eyes flashed a bit.

For an ambitious, antihero type of person like him, he was moved by the scene before him.

Let's not even talk about the tide of battle, which was inherently fraught with danger and unexpected twists and turns. Normally, between a peak Mahayana level treasure and an Aurous Core stage cultivator, who was the more important one? It was very clear who was worth more here.

Furthermore, Chu Yang was not even a disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Instead, he was a disciple from the Ethereal Mountain Sect, a vassal sect to the Celestial Sect.

If he were someone else, like a cultivator from the Great Qin Empire, the Royal House of the Northern Tribes or the Purple Clouds Sect, he may be worth more.

Handing over Chu Yang to the Cang Heaven Spell Blade was not only beneficial, but it would also be important to resolving the perilous battle situation before them.

However, from another perspective, this concerned the righteousness, style and trustworthiness of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao rejected the offer of the Cang Heaven Spell Blade without a second thought.

Looking at them, Xu Anda's face was expressionless but he thought, "For them to be like this, it must surely be because of their master. All those years ago, the Master of the Celestial Sect dared to clash with the Great Void Sect for his disciple, Shi Tianhao, who was not even in the Aurous Core stage. Today, his disciples are…"

If you have the ability, you can force me into an unequal treaty. However, if you want my surrender, then you can forget about it.

Cang Heaven Blade heard it and fell silent. Then, he nodded his head and said, "I've said the wrong thing. However, I must have this person. In this case, I have no choice but to offend you."

He did not say much afterwards as his figure slowly disappeared. The original soul of the magic treasure fused together with the body of the Cang Heaven Spell Blade and with a heaven-toppling power, came slicing down towards Chu Yang who was on the black mountaintop.

Xu Anda's face was expressionless as he slammed his palms together. Two Life and Death Netherworld Dao Fruit appeared in mid-air and exploded in the void. They turned into rolling black light as they turned the entire Outer Realm black immediately.

Under the dark skies, innumerable souls howled, shaking not only the Cang Heaven Spell Blade, but also the souls of the Lu Yuan Grand Sage, the Yu'ao Dragon King and the Zu'e Grand Sage who had deal with them carefully.

That was Xu Anda's most powerful attack, the Wailing Spirits Heaven.

"I'm not even 50% confident of reflecting his spell," thought the Lu Yuan Grand Sage darkly. Then, he cursed in his heart, "Such a powerful cultivator is a mere pawn for these two b*stards. How incredulous!"

The Cang Heaven Spell Blade trembled violently and light began to spread from his blade. An ancient, desolate and immortal aura began to spread.

Looking at the situation, both Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao frowned and thought, "It appears similar to Zhener's family teachings, the Ancient Immortality Scripture of the Emperor of the Ancients. However, it is different too. However, the sword truly lives up to the claim of 'with one sword, it can produce ten thousand mantras.'"

In the long, meandering flow of time, immortality is to exist beyond the realm of life and death.

Chu Yang looked at the scene expressionlessly and said, "The East Heaven Cang Heaven Sword of the Great Nine Heavens Holy Sword Technique derives its teachings partially from the Emperor of the Ancients' teachings. Then, it came up with its own innovation and combined with the true understanding of immemorial immortality. While different cultivators have different level of masteries, their foundations are similar."

Many years ago, the Emperor of the Ancients combined forces with the Great Void Sect to overthrow the Emperor of the Dead. Hence, the mantras of the Emperor of the Ancients went directly against the Emperor of the Dead.

The Cang Heaven Spell Blade cultivated the Great Nine Heavens Holy Sword Technique and reached the stage whereby it could turn ten thousand spells into one sword. While he could not yet produce ten thousand mantras with one sword, it was not difficult for him to push the power of the East Cang Heaven Sword Technique to its maximum.

Xu Anda was expressionless as his hands performed a gesture. Immediately, the black heavens began to shrink and turn into a black ball, trapping the Cang Heaven Spell Blade firmly inside.

The black ball's size turned large and small at will. It expanded and contracted non-stop as if it was about to break anything.

Xu Anda and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade were in a stalemate. While the Cang Heaven Spell Blade was trapped, Xu Anda could not do anything else too.

The Zu'e Grand Sage blocked Shi Tianhao while the Yu'ao Dragon King continued on his path to the black mountaintop as he lunged towards Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu.

Wang Lin continued battling with the Lu Yuan Grand Sage. He could not free himself at the moment as he arched his eyebrow slightly and looked at Shi Tianhao and said, "Little Junior."

Shi Tianhao asked, "Third Senior, my side is fine. How about yours?"

Wang Lin replied, "I'm almost there. I haven't thought through it completely but now that the Cang Heaven Spell Blade is our enemy, we should focus on the safety of the rest. Even if we have to use all of our strength, it's fine. We can always think about it later."

"Okay," nodded Shi Tianhao. Then, he said, "Will my treasure please… eh?"

A look crossed his face as his supernatural awareness swept through the sky in the distance. Wang Lin did the same. The Lu Yuan Grand Sage and the Zu'e Grand Sage frowned.

The Yu'ao Dragon King felt something tugging at his heartstrings too. However, he was like an arrow shot from a bow and had no choice but to continue his trajectory. Extending his claws, he lunged towards Yang Qing and the rest.

While he was severely injured, he was still an Undying Demon Soul Third Level demon. His attack right now was much more powerful than the traces of the Lu Yuan Grand Sage's demonic powers.

Huge amount of River Styx Primordial Water poured out from the Pearl of Styx. However, the Yu'ao Dragon King turned his form illusory and dodged the River Styx Primordial Water as he continued with his attack.

While they knew that their powers were like specks of dust compared to the Yu'ao Dragon King, Han Yang, Tan Yunqing and Huang Zhenting unintentionally shielded Zhuge Wanqiu behind their backs.

Zhuge Wanqiu stood stunned and did nothing.

While she was by nature soft, she was not a girl who liked to hide behind others' backs.

The reason why she stood there unmoving was because an overpowering sense of panic appeared in her heart, rendering her helpless.

As she watched the gigantic claws of the Yu'ao Dragon King tear away at Li Yuanfang's spell formation and the Yang Qing's spell and then destroy Luo Qingwu's and Chu Yang's sword radiances, a look of happiness suddenly crossed Zhuge Wanqiu's face even as the Yu'ao Dragon King came down on the black mountaintop.

Suddenly, a giant roar resounded in the surroundings, "If you dare to touch my daughter, I'll slice your claws off!"

A rainbow, suddenly and without any warning, flew from horizon and through the sky and landed before everyone. When they saw this teleportation spell, even Wang Lin's and Shi Tianhao's eyes shone.

A white-robed man stood on top of the rainbow. He appeared to be 30-40 years old and he was extremely handsome. His hair and brows shone with a faint golden light and he bore a 50-60% resemblance to Zhuge Wanqiu.

When he appeared, he looked unkindly at the Yu'ao Dragon King and said coldly, "You are injured. Normally, I won't disturb you. However, if you dare touch my daughter, I will destroy you!"

He raised his right fist into the sky. When he did that, it was like raising a sun into the air. Bright golden light shone in all directions and his fist was a like the sun.

He gently tapped with his left fingers and the rainbow underneath his feet landed on the Yu'ao Dragon King's body. The rainbow turned into seven different lights of different colors, as if the rainbow had split apart, and then morphed into a seven-colored river of light which crashed forward.

As the rainbow came together and split apart, it too revealed an unlimited illusory-reality swapping power. It actually managed to drag the Yu'ao Dragon King out from the illusory world!

In the next instant, his right fist blazed with bright light as it came crashing down like the sun on the Yu'ao Dragon King.

The Yu'ao Dragon King roared in both shock and anger. If he were at his peak, his opponent would not have been able to break through his Unique Gift even if he had mastered illusory-reality swapping spells. However, right now, his Unique Gift was shattered completely.

After this exchange of blow, the already-injured Yu'ao Dragon King retreated hastily as he stared at the white-robed man in anger.

The white-robed man laughed coldly, "Without the Illusion and Reality Mystic Switching Spell, what do you White Dragons have? That was why I said that I won't touch you normally if you are injured."

Other than the Cang Heaven Spell Blade, which was sealed by Xu Anda's Wailing Spirit Heavens, the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and the Zu'e Grand Sage looked over too.

On the black mountaintop, Zhuge Wanqiu exclaimed happily, "Daddy!"

The white-robed man smiled too. He disregarded the Yu'ao Dragon King and landed on the mountaintop. Ignoring everyone else, he hugged Zhuge Wanqiu and burst out laughing, "I never thought that I will see my dear daughter here! Come, let daddy take a look! You have grown so much!"

Shi Tianhao too laughed, "Light morphs into the rainbow and illuminates all under the heavens, are you the Scorching Sun Holy Man, Zhuge Zhan?"

The white-robed man was Zhuge Wanqiu's father and one of the few, powerful independent cultivators of the Divine Lands in the Immortal Soul Third Level. Also known as the Scorching Sun Holy Man, he had entered the Void Battleground many years ago and entrusted his daughter to the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Due to the battle between Shi Tianhao, Wang Lin and the demons, a second dimensional tear appeared in the Outer Realm, which led straight into the Void Battleground. No one had expected the Scorching Sun Holy Man, Zhuge Zhan, to enter too.

Zhuge Wanqiu quickly said to Zhuge Zhan, "Daddy, this is my master."

When Zhuge Zhan heard that, he released Zhuge Wanqiu and looked at Shi Tianhao with a smile. He clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you for taking care of my daughter all these years."

Chapter 945: The Steel Tree Extends into the Heavens; All Demons Are Stunned

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Celestial Sect of Wonders tried to fully understand the potential of its disciples. However, generally, there were very few disciples from major families. After all, their own families should have their own unique mantras and spells. If these disciples harbored ill-intentions, then they would be eliminated straightaway by the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Calculating carefully, other than Lin Tong, Zhuge Wanqiu's background was the most special amongst the second-generation disciples. After all, her father was a Immortal Soul Third Level cultivator. Very few cultivators in the Divine Lands reached this stage.

However, as Zhuge Zhan remembered how he lost his wife and son when he had unintentionally placed them in danger, he decided, in his grief, to enter the Void Battleground once more but only after he had entrusted his only relative, his daughter Zhuge Wanqiu, to the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

The flow of time in the Void Battleground was unpredictable. When Zhuge Zhan went, five years passed in the Greater World without him revealing himself once. Normally, Zhuge Wanqiu was polite, courteous and kept a low-profile. Hence, Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao and the rest forgot that she had a Immortal Soul Third Level father.

Very few people knew of Zhuge Wanqiu's background. Not even her fellow disciples of the same generation knew that she came from such an illustrious background.

However, Shi Tianhao and the rest knew a bit about Zhuge Zhan's background.

Many years ago, he was already an Immortal Soul Third Level cultivator who cultivated the Divine Light of the Sun Mantra. He was one of the few descendants of the formerly-great sect, the Bright Light Sect. However, as the Bright Light Sect was destroyed in the Antiquity Age, Zhuge Zhan was only able to obtain its teachings through Fate and luck. With its teachings, Zhuge Zhan formed his Immortal Soul and then reached the Immortal Soul Third Level, becoming one of the few Immortal Soul Third Level independent cultivators.

While he cultivated the Divine Light of the Sun Mantra, it was different from the Grand Sun Primordial Flame. Successfully cultivating the Divine Light of the Sun Mantra would allow one to obtain the Divine Sunlight. With the Divine Sunlight as the foundation, one could conjure many types of powerful and mystic spells.

Zhuge Zhan beat the Yu'ao Dragon King into retreat and then, he clasped his hands together at Wang Lin and said with a smile, "We'll take care of that later. I'll take care of the matter at hand first."

With that, he rushed straight for the Zu'e Grand Sage, whom Shi Tianhao was battling!

The Scorching Sun Holy Man was best-known not for his cultivation, but for his extreme love for his son and daughter!

As Zhuge Zhan's elder son had passed away, he only had a daughter left. Therefore, he was extremely protective of her. Thus, how could he tolerate the Yu'ao Dragon King threatening her?

He beat the Yu'ao Dragon King into retreat and then went straight for the Zu'e Grand Sage. A rainbow sliced through the sky and appeared before the Zu'e Grand Sage. Tiny dots of light started to shine around his body. While they appeared weak and faint, they managed to dim the entire sky. Everyone could only see these lights flashing before their eyes.

When dots of light appeared, Zhuge Zhan's powers increased exponentially. It was as if ten thousand suns were rising around him. He pointed at the Zu'e Grand Sage. The action seemed slow, as if he was carrying an object of ten thousand tons on him.

In comparison to his teleportation spell, the speed was vastly different. It was so slow till the point that whoever witnessed it felt as if they could die from boredom.

The flashing rays of light around Zhuge Zhan concentrated on his fingertip, which grew brighter and brighter till the point whereby one could not even look straight at it.

As he pointed forward with his finger, it was like a rising sun. Slowly but surely, it was like the most powerful natural energy amongst all creations. Nothing seemed capable of stopping it.

The Divine Light of the Sun Mantra, the Shining Sun Divine Fist Martial Way, the Sun Rises from the East!

The Zu'e Grand Sage did not try to dodge the blow. He counter-attacked Zhuge Zhan. After all, physical strength was his forte.

The void where the two combatants came into contact was obliterated immediately as the shockwave from the attack spread through the sky. It was if a hole had been punched in the sky by this pair of human and demon.

Zhuge Zhan did not obtain the advantage here like he did with the Yu'ao Dragon King. However, he burst out laughing, "Good! This is good!"

The Zu'e Grand Sage gathered his focus and no smile crossed his face. He specialized in physical strength and physical martial arts. However, Zhuge Zhan dared to meet him head-on in this regard. This meant that not only did Zhuge Zhan possess powerful and mystic spells on him, his own physical strength was not weak too.

The Zu'e Grand Sage's physical body twisted in space and his tail came lashing out with such force as if it wanted to smash a heavenly pillar in half.

At the same time, he opened his mouth and an ink-black fog came pouring out. Wherever the ink-black fog touched, it destroyed.

Looking at the situation, Zhuge Zhan's hands returned to before his chest. He continually called up spells as the many divine rays of sunlight congregated together to form round ball of light that was like the very sun itself.

In the next instant, the Dao fruit made from the divine sunlight rays flew into the sky, which suddenly split open! The light from the Sun, brightest of the nine luminaries, shone. Almost instantly, the entire void appeared to have darkened.

It was not because the sun had set or because clouds had enveloped the sun. Instead, it was because every single ray of light was devoured by this sun.

The vast expanse of heaven and earth as well as infinite void and the stars in space were all plunged into darkness as if they had never existed.

Only the sun shone. It appeared to be the only real thing there. A supreme brightness, a supreme lord!

Heaven's Gate of the Antiquity Age had the Celestial True Spells of the Seven Planets, which could summon the power of the seven planets with the power of a single human cultivator. However, in comparison to Zhuge Zhan's attack, which summoned the power of the Sun, it was much weaker.

Amongst all human mantras, this was the mantra that understood and manipulated the power of the Sun the best.

"Glorious Sun Holy Shine!" Zhuge Zhan's left hand was vertically-upright in front of his chest and his right hand wiggled a finger at the Zu'e Grand Sage. A bright, radiant light came crashing down from the sky.

The giant power in it made the Zu'e Grand Sage's face change. He continued to spew black fog. In the black fog, stellar light flashed and twinkled as he tried to use his own luminaries. He concentrated all of his power on his tail as he slammed it against the radiance that came down from the Heaven.

"Boom!" The entire heaven and earth became cloaked in light, blinding everyone. Everyone could only see white light.

At this distance, even Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao, the Lu Yuan Grand Sage, the Yu'ao Dragon King and Xu Anda could only feel a burning-hot sensation when they probed with their supernatural awareness.

"Master once said that it is extremely difficult for independent cultivators to make a name for themselves. However, when they rise truly, many of them possess some special spell or attack. It is indeed true," thought Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao simultaneously. "The Scorching Sun Holy Man used his own spell and power to battle against a demon of the same level as him. By managing to fight him to a draw, it proves that his abilities were exceptional."

Zhuge Zhan before them lived up to his fame and name with his powerful battling abilities. Let's not talk about his powerful mana, for his battle awareness and battle experience were all exceptional. Even if someone possessed a similar ability as his, they may not be able to win.

While he was free-spirited, his control and assessment of the battle was accurate and precise.

Lin Feng's Physical Spell Body watched the battle interestedly. "Amongst all of the Immortal Soul Third Level cultivators who went to Mount Yujing, only Xu Anda has an advantage over him. However, even he may not be able to win."

"The others, including Jie Luoshi, may not be able to win."

"In terms of other independent cultivators, the Luofu Holy Man could not match him in terms of battling abilities. However, in the Ying Sea, I doubt that the Luofu Holy Man would fight till the death with this temporary ally of the Great Zhou Empire."

As Zhuge Zhan and the Zu'e Grand Sage battled intensely, Shi Tianhao did not take over Wang Lin in dealing with the Lu Yuan Grand Sage. Instead, with a smile on his face, he went after the Yu'ao Dragon King.

On the other side, the shockwaves from the battle affected Xu Anda's Wailing Spirit Heaven and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade finally managed to emerge. However, he was still trapped by Xu Anda and could not progress at all.

In a short time, because of the Cang Heaven Spell Blade, the rapidly-deteriorating situation of the Celestial Sect of Wonders stabilized as the two sides returned to a draw. In fact, the Celestial Sect possessed a slight advantage here.

Yang Qing and the rest who managed to free themselves from danger continued with what they were doing before. Chu Yang sighed in relief too.

The two sides battled vigorously and the entire Outer Realm trembled non-stop. Large amount of dimensional tears began to appear in mid-air, creating a frightening sight.

Zhuge Zhan snorted. While he was having fun battling against the Zu'e Grand Sage, he was growing impatient. He opened his hand and a thick, long spear appeared. Its entire body was white as it shone with an eye-dazzling brightness. It burned like the sun. This was his Metaplasia level magic treasure, the Scorching Sun Spear.

That was a perennial problem amongst independent cultivators. Alone, they lacked resources. While they lived freely, they were rather poor compared to the major sects in terms of resources. It was very difficult for them to cultivate and improve magic treasures.

However, this offensive magic treasure, while only in its Metaplasia level, was able to maximize its terrifying powers in the hands of Zhuge Zhan.

During this battle, the Zu'e Grand Sage revealed his true form, obtaining a slight advantage over him. Now, with the Scorching Sun Spear in hand, Zhuge Zhan regained the advantage.

"Scorching Sun Holy Man, there's no need for it." Here, Shi Tianhao smiled and turned his head to Wang Lin and said, "Third Senior, you seem to have used all your powers?"

Wang Lin nodded, "Right."

Shi Tianhao smiled and said, "Good, let us play with them later slowly."

As he said that, he thrusted his fist forward lightly and said, "Saros, please show yourself!" As he said that, a dark gold pillar of light shot into the sky as a powerful energy covered the entire Outer Realm.

An immovable, immortal and indestructible energy began to envelop the heaven and earth. Even the Outer Realm itself, which was being torn apart, slowly stabilized and stopped trembling.

The heaven and earth, which was shaking because of the fight, stabilized. No matter how much Zhuge Zhan and the Zu'e Grand Sage fought, they would no longer be able to damage the Outer Realm itself.

"Saros Steel Tree?!" The Yu'ao Dragon King, the Lu Yuan Grand Sage, the Zu'e Grand Sage and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade looked dumbfounded as a humongous tree rose into the sky next to Shi Tianhao. Its trunk and branches were metallic black while its leaves were gold.

On the canopy stood a dark-skinned youth. He appeared slightly similar to Lin Feng's Steel Tree Avatar. However, the Steel Tree Avatar had been re-fused into this magic treasure of Lin Feng, the Saros Magical Tree. The youth was the original soul of the Saros Magical Tree, Saros.

However…

The rest did not know of the situation but the Yu'ao Dragon King received news that Lin Feng's Saros Steel Tree was a Gestation level magic treasure that he had successfully cultivated only two years ago in the Greater World.

However, the Saraos Magical Tree before him was a Mahayana level magic treasure!

The Yu'ao Dragon King's gaze was shocked as he thought, "What is going on?"

Chapter 946: Everyone Stay!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Yu'ao Dragon King was a demon and not very good at manipulating treasures. However, he was still clear of the fundamentals of magic treasures by human cultivators.

For a magic treasure to increase in level, it was not easy. At times, it was even more difficult than for a human cultivator to do so.

Even if one possessed a space where time was accelerated, how could the Saros Steel Tree progress so quickly from Gestation level to Mahayana level? This left the Yu'ao Dragon King in shock.

"It can't be that the Master of the Celestial Sect of Wonders possesses two Saros Steel Tree and he managed to turn both into magic treasures, right?" Unconsciously, this thought surfaced in the brain of the Yu'ao Dragon King. Other than that, he had no other explanation.

Xu Anda, instead, looked at the Saros Steel Tree and his gaze flashed slightly. He thought about how easily Lin Feng raised the level of the Heavenly God-Sealing Banner from the Gestation level to the Mahayana level. Then, he looked at the Saraos Magical Tree and realized that Lin Feng used the same method.

However, while he still found it unbelievable, the sense of confusion in his heart only grew stronger.

The Saraos Magical Tree was able to increase so quickly from the Gestation level to the Mahayana level because of Lin Feng.

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao ascended into the Immortal Soul stage, giving Lin Feng four chances to increase the level of his magic treasures.

Other than his Natal magic treasure, the Bell of Destiny, he was able to increase any magic treasure to the Mahayana level. He was also able to use it on the same magic treasure consecutively.

When Lin Feng returned to Mount Yujing, he immediately increased the level of the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner from Metaplasia to Mahayana.

After the Battle of Mount Shu, Lin Feng started to ponder what other magic treasures should he increase in level. Amongst all possible magic treasures, the most powerful one, and the one with most potential, was the Saros Magical Tree.

Earlier on, when he was in the Ying Sea and he had just cultivated the Saros Magical Tree, he was able to resist the Immortal Soul Third Level cultivator Shao Dongtian together with his Thunder Dragon Avatar along with the Metaplasia level magic treasure Xuan Heaven Seal. Even with the help of Lin Feng's Holy Light of Creation, the battle was still perilous. However, then, the Saros Magical Tree was only in its Gestation level. One could see its powerful defensive abilities.

Hence, Lin Feng decided to use both chances on the Saraos Magical Tree and force this Gestation level magic treasure to reach the Mahayana level.

He did not gift this magic treasure to Shi Tianhao. Instead, during this visit to the Barren Expanses, Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao and the rest left him to operate independently. To ensure their safety, Lin Feng offered them two forms of insurance.

To Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao, Lin Feng trusted that their judgement were good enough to know when they should rely on themselves and when would they need help.

In reality, even Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu, as well as Han Yang, Huang Zhenting and the other junior disciples, had a certain amount of pride.

They were able to resolve issues independently and they did not wish to rely or free-ride on their seniors. While they would not turn down the care and concern shown to them by their seniors, they also did not wish to be seen as parasites.

Right now, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao had obtained their objectives. Both of them were utilitarian and hence, they decided to summon the Saros Magical Tree to temporarily block off their opponents. At the same time, they called out to Zhuge Zhan and the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner as they headed off to the black mountaintop.

Once Wang Lin stepped on the black mountaintop, the entire mountain trembled. Yang Qing then lifted his head and said, "All traces of the Lu Yuan Grand Sage's demonic powers has been eliminated."

"Thank you." Wang Lin stood on the mountaintop and shed his human form. He once again turned into the Netherworld Taiji Diagram as he enveloped the entire mountain and all the Heaven-Carrying Ants.

Shi Tianhao chuckled and held the Hammer of the Yellow Heaven Bell. With his other hand, he grabbed the Yellow Heaven Bell itself.

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage roared non-stop angrily as he rushed towards the mountaintop. However, once he reached the sky above the mountain, the Saros Steel Tree started to emit a dark gold light and blocked him off completely, preventing him from entering.

"This magic treasure…" The Lu Yuan Grand Sage's pupils shrunk rapidly because he realized that with his demon powers, he was completely unable to break through the defences of the Saros Steel Tree.

A crazy white light struck the Saros Steel Tree. However, it did not move at all. Even its leaves did not tremble.

He grabbed the dark gold light with his brutish strength. Yet, it was immovable.

The Zu'e Grand Sage and the Yu'ao Dragon King frowned. Even the Cang Heaven Spell Blade tremored slightly.

In the next instant, together with the Lu Yuan Grand Sage, all four powerful cultivators attacked the Saros Magical Tree together.

This time, the leaves of the Saros Magical Tree trembled. However, what shocked the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and company was the fact the combined powers of all four demons and magic treasures were unable to break through the defences of the Saros Magical Tree.

The Yu'ao Dragon King mumbled to himself, "Even an Undying Demon Soul Third Level Saros Tree Grand Sage would not possess such a strong defence."

The circle of light on the Lu Yuan Grand Sage's forehead shone as he swept the Saros Steel Tree with his gaze and said, "It is not only due to the Unique Gift of the Saros Steel Tree itself, but also because of the many power within it."

"Time, space and many other powerful Dao elements are inside. All of them are at their highest level too," said the Lu Yuan Grand Sage bitterly. "I can't reflect them with my Ten Thousand Mirror Appearances. Is this the magic treasure cultivated by the Master of the Celestial Sect?"

"Even if we find the natural enemies of the Saros Steel Tree, we may not achieve the desired effect…"

Currently, he was both panicky and angry. He looked at Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao, who were enjoying the fruits of his labour and his eyes grew even redder.

The Yu'ao Dragon King's expression was dark. He stared into the sky and sighed, "Let us go."

The Zu'e Grand Sage and the Lu Yuan Grand Sage both turned to look at him. The Cang Heaven Spell Blade trembled slightly in space, turned his head and left. From the body of the sword, there was a long sigh brimming with regret.

"I know that you are not willing to do so, and neither am I! However, we must leave. They have a treasure bestowed onto them by the Master of the Celestial Sect. We have no chance at all," said the Yu'ao Dragon King sullenly. "Right now, in a four-on-four fight, we no longer possess an advantage. After they finished cultivating those treasures, their power would increase even more. Then, we would be at a total disadvantage."

The habitual arrogance of dragons made it hard for them to retreat empty-handed. Furthermore, they suffered quite a lot here too.

The Zu'e Grand Sage fell into silence. He understood what the Yu'ao Dragon King said. The Cang Heaven Spell Blood chose to retreat. If he did not leave soon, it would be akin to him looking for punishment.

His face turned dark and icy cold as he said, "Master of the Celestial Sect, Master of the Celestial Sect…! I will remember this name. The next time I meet anyone from the Celestial Sect of Wonders, I will devour them no matter their mastery!"

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage too had an ugly expression on his face. He threw a death stare at the mountain and the chain of Heaven-Carrying Ants around it. Finally, he had no choice but to leave as he cursed non-stop in his heart, "You two b*stards better not land in my hand. If not, I will skin you alive!"

The three demons and the sword were extremely infuriated, but they had no choice but to retreat. Soon, they realized something that made them go even crazier.

The dark gold light of the Saros Magical Tree enveloped the entire Outer Realm, locking it in.

Regardless whether it was the inter-world passage to the Barren Expanses' Steel Polarity Mine or the one that led into the Void Battleground, all were blocked by the dark gold light. No one was able to go through them.

The hearts of the Cang Heaven Spell Blade, the Lu Yuan Grand Sage, the Zu'e Grand Sage and the Yu'ao Dragon King sank. Then, they bristled in rage.

They realized now that Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao did not summon the Saros Magical Tree for defence.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders wanted them to stay!

Earlier, because the Yu'ao Dragon King was injured, in a four-on-four deathmatch, the Celestial Sect of Wonders was not at a disadvantage. Conversely, they had the upper hand.

However, their advantage was not big. It was hard enough for them to emerge victorious, much less slay the Yu'ao Dragon King and the other powerful demons and sword.

Of course, it was harder for the Yu'ao Dragon King, the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and the rest to win. However, as long as they were willing to abandon the treasures here as well as the chance to kill Wang Lin and the rest, then it was still possible for them to retreat alive.

Right now, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao summoned the Saros Magical Tree for two reasons. Firstly, they wanted protection as they cultivated. More importantly, however, they wanted to stop the Yu'ao Dragon King, the Lu Yuan Grand Sage, the Zu'e Grand Sage and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade from escaping!

After Wang Lin and the rest finished cultivating the treasures, their powers would grow even more. Then, their advantage would further widen till the point where victory was a foregone conclusion.

Zhuge Zhan was suspicious at first but soon, he understood their intentions. He stared at Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao seriously and thought, "The two of them are so ambitious. It's not hard to find out what kind of person is the Master of the Celestial Sect just by judging his disciples."

"However, hehe, they have guts! They are crazy! I like that! It was a good decision to let Wanqiu join the Celestial Sect of Heavens."

Earlier, he still frowned because his own daughter was almost hurt. Had he not entered the Outer Realm, he thought that Zhuge Wanqiu and the rest were in serious trouble against the Yu'ao Dragon King.

Now, it appeared that the Celestial Sect of Wonders had made adequate preparations. Earlier, the perilous situation was, in reality, harmless. This earned the goodwill from Zhuge Zhan for the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Especially after he saw the full extent of Wang Lin's and Shi Tianhao's powers, which made him sigh in awe and respect. "The two Immortal Soul First Level cultivators possess such power. They are truly exceptional. The Master of the Celestial Sect of Wonders truly lives up to his name."

After he assessed his own daughter's mastery, Zhuge Zhan was in a good mood. While his daughter had yet to form her core, her foundation was solid and her progress much faster than he had expected. He was naturally delighted.

While Zhuge Zhan's mood was excellent, the Yu'ao Dragon King and company were in a sour mood.

They tried to bash their way through the seal that the Saros Steel Tree imposed on the inter-world passage. However, they were unsuccessful. Progressively, they became angrier and angrier and their hearts grew colder and colder. "If they concentrate all their defensive powers together, then it's still within reason. However, right now, the defensive powers enveloped the entire Outer Realm. How is it even possible to possess such defensive powers? Isn't this magic treasure ridiculously overpowered?"

As they stared at Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao continue with their cultivation, the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and the rest looked at each other. Then, they resumed their attacks against them instead.

If we can't leave, then let us fight to the end!

Chapter 947: Demons in a Tight Spot

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage opened his mouth to shoot out a ray of white light as he lunged towards the Saros Magical Tree.

The Zu'e Grand Sage expelled black fog from his mouth, which then enveloped his body, as he rammed the tree with his humongous form.

White light dazzled around the Yu'ao Dragon King as billows after billows of white cloud steamed from his body and enveloped the Saros Steel Tree.

The Cang Heaven Spell Blade paused for a while. His sword body sighed and then, turned into a blazingly bright sword radiance. He came straight for the Saros Steel Tree like a golden Milky Way from the heaven.

The four of them attacked together and the leaves on the Saros Magical Tree trembled violently. The dark gold light concentrated and turned solid as it blocked the ferocious attacks.

Other than the innate power of the Saros Magical Tree, which was its indestructible and eternal properties, it was also cultivated by Lin Feng, who infused it with the Two Elements of Creation Formation, the Celestial Sect Teleportation Technique and the Heaven Extreme Universal Light, amongst other powerful mantras and spells. Its defensive powers were even better than an Undying Demon Soul Third Level Saros Grand Sage.

Faced with the attacks of the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and company, a Saros Grand Sage of the same stage or a pure-blooded Xuanwu might not even be able to defend themselves against these attacks. However, Lin Feng's Saros Magical Tree was able to resist the three demons and the sword completely.

After the Yu'ao Dragon King and company realized that their attacks were useless against the Saros Steel Tree, they did not continue to fight against it. Instead, they flew far away from it in the direction towards the inter-world passage as they tried to break through that.

They had realized that while the Saros Steel Tree was powerful, it would not be able to defend Wang Lin and company while sealing off the Outer Realm. There must be a weak point.

Hence, the three demons and the sword decided to combine their attacks to attack the Saros Steel Tree. If they were able to break through its defenses, then it was for the best. If not, they tried to break through its seal while the Saros Magical Tree devoted more energy to its defenses to repel their attacks.

Saros sat expressionlessly on the giant tree. His gaze flashed, and a dark gold light began to spread and expand rapidly. It was no slower than the Lu Yuan Grand Sage or the Yu'ao Dragon King. Once again, the barrier that blocked the inter-world passage appeared as it trapped its enemies within this Outer Realm.

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage and the rest exchanged a look as their faces grew darker.

The powers of the Saros Magical Tree once again exceeded their expectations. It could spread and withdraw its golden light as it wished and almost instantaneously. Its speed was no slower than theirs, making it extremely difficult for them to take advantage of the short loophole.

Right now, the most effective plan for the four powerful demons and sword was for them to split into two groups. One of them would attack Wang Lin and the rest and trigger the Saros Magical Tree's defenses. Meanwhile, the other group would attempt to escape from the Outer Realm.

To be precise, because of the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner and Zhuge Zhan, the attacking group required more manpower and ideally, they would need three people. Only then would they be able to attract the attention of the Saros Steel Tree. Amongst the four powerful demons and sword, only one of them could escape.

In another place, in another time, if the four of them were extremely close and without any other alternatives, they may be able to use this method.

However, for the three demons and one sword, it was difficult.

The four of them were plunged into a difficult position. Any of them was a powerful, senior cultivator with a great deal of influence in the Grand Celestial World. Now, all of them were stuck here, feeling like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, which was extremely frustrating to them.

Of course, even if Wang Lin and the rest were able to successfully cultivate the Avīci Satanic Appearance and the Heaven-Carrying Ant Queen and then counter-attacked, they may not be able to defeat the four of them too. However, the feeling of being caught between a rock and a hard place was extremely frustrating.

Lin Feng's Physical Spell Body did not reveal itself. When he looked at the scene before him, he was slightly confused too. "In terms of time, they should be going, right? Will they take this chance to move, or do they have other plans?"

In comparison to the confused Lin Feng and the frustrated Lu Yuan Grand Sage and company, the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders there were much more relaxed.

Wang Lin turned into the Netherworld Taiji Diagram to envelop the black mountaintop and the chains around it. Shi Tianhao, however, did not turn into his Immortal Soul Avatar. Instead, he cultivated the Yellow Heavens Bell and looked with polite curiosity at Zhuge Zhan as he asked, "Mr Zhuge's teleportation spell appears even better than the Great Void Sect's Heaven-Ascending Spell."

Zhuge Zhan was completely obsessed with his daughter, Zhuge Wanqiu, at that time. He asked her ceaselessly about how her life had been in the past few years as well as listened to her tales of growing up in the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Even the most insignificant and trivial details would make him chuckle happily.

When he heard Shi Tianhao's question, he turned over and said with a smile, "Just now, I have embarrassed myself with that spell. However, amongst the many mantras and spells I've learned, this is one of the better one."

He cultivated the Divine Light of the Sun Mantra and managed to successfully obtain the Divine Sunlight. This was the foundation of his many attacks and spells, as they were derived from it.

The Divine Sunlight itself was extremely powerful. From it, one could change it into a rainbow and use the Flying Rainbow Teleportation Spell, which was extremely fast and in no way inferior to the Great Void Sect's Heaven-Ascending Spell, or Heaven's Gate Celestial Spell of Elusiveness, or the Shaoze Sword of Mount Shu.

A single rainbow could turn into a seven-colored illusion and a seven-colored river. This spell could then tap on the powers of the change between reality and illusion. With this spell, Zhuge Zhan was able to break the Unique Gift of the Yu'ao Dragon King. Even though the Yu'ao Dragon King was severely injured, the spell played a huge part.

Other than spells, the Divine Sunlight could be used to cultivate one's physical body and Martial Way spells could be derived from it as well, such as the Shining Sun Divine Fist.

Zhuge Zhan was able to obtain the teachings of the Bright Light Sect many years ago. While it was incomplete, he was able to fill in the gaps with trial-and-error and hence, come up with a unique set of teachings. If he wished to create his own sect, there was no obstacle in terms of his Daoist teachings.

However, Zhuge Zhan never had this thought before. He was content being a free-spirited independent cultivator. The only attachment he had was his family, which now referred to his daughter Zhuge Wanqiu only.

Zhuge Wanqiu dragged Zhuge Zhan and introduced Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu to him. She even introduced Chu Yang, Huang Zhenting, Han Yang and Tan Yunqing.

Zhuge Zhan sighed, "There's no sun and moon in the Void Battleground and hence, I cannot gauge the flow of time. Thank you all for taking care of my daughter all these years."

By nature, he was a wild and free-spirited person. The powers Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao and the Saros Magical Tree earned his awe and respect. From them, he knew that the powers of the Master of the Celestial Sect, Lin Feng, was only stronger. This left him in awe. However, he won't change his inherent nature because of that.

A hundred years ago, for his son, he dared to provoke the Great Thunderclap Temple alone.

He was extremely appreciative that his daughter was well-taken care of by her masters and fellow disciples and grew up safely.

Shi Tianho smiled and said, "I'm just glad that I taught her the right things."

As he said that, he hammered the Yellow Heavens Bell non-stop as he injected his mana into it.

After he knocked on it 49 times, a light gleamed above the Yellow Heavens Bell. Then, it turned into a white-haired, bearded old man clad in gold. He looked at Shi Tianhao and said, "I am Lord Yellow Bell. Who are you and why do you have my hammer with you?"

Shi Tianhao smiled and said, "This was given to me by my master. If you have any question, I can bring you back to my master and you can ask him. Are you inclined towards that?"

Lord Yellow Bell looked at Shi Tianhao and asked, "What if I am not inclined?"

Shi Tianhao said naturally, "I'll knock you out and drag you there."

Lord Yellow Bell smiled slightly and replied, "So that's the case. However, seeing how you possess such power at the Immortal Soul First Level, it is no wonder you are like this."

Shi Tianhao smiled and pointed to the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner and the Saros Magical Tree and said, "Looking at your venerable appearance, I believe that you are in the Metaplasia level. However, you reached a bottleneck and is now unable to progress any further. Why not come along with me? I may be able to show you a way."

Lord Yellow Bell nodded his head and said, "Why not, why not?"

Shi Tianhao laughed and his fingers quickly performed numerous gestures as he shot thousand of spells into the Yellow Heaven Bell. A thin layer of purple light appeared over the Yellow Heaven Bell.

"Oh, this is indeed a mystical power. Cultivating with him may actually be the right path…" The Yellow Heaven Bell was easy-going and he had no grudge against Shi Tianhao. Furthermore, Shi Tianhao cultivated the Hammer of the Yellow Heaven Bell already and hence, he felt a certain sense of familiarity with him.

On the other side, Wang Lin's Netherworld Taiji Diagram had already engulfed the entire black mountain and the chain.

Everyone was swallowed by Wang Lin's Immortal Soul. Unsurprised, they looked at the mountain slowly changing its form.

Zhuge Zhan looked interestedly at the scene before him. With his personality, had it been anyone else, he would have fought with them for these treasures.

However, the people before him right now were his daughter's masters and fellow disciples. Hence, he had no desire to do so. Instead, he was interested in the powers that Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao and company had exhibited. Even just by looking at it from the side, he was sure there was much he could learn.

Under Wang Lin's cultivation, the black mountain turned into a huge, three-eyed giant. His entire body was black and he emitted an odd energy. It was like the chaos of Creation, pure and unadulterated. However, it resembled the powers of Doomsday too, a violent, cruel and unrestrained force. This was the true form of the Avīci Satanic Appearance.

The three eyes of the Avīci Satanic Appearance shone with red light. A powerful consciousness that had been asleep till now was slowly waking up.

However, as the Taiji Netherworld Diagram spun, the red light disappeared. The third eye of the giant too disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a swirling Taiji Diagram.

The chains of Heaven-Carrying Ants around the Avīci Satanic Appearance started to reveal their forms too.

The Heaven-Carrying Ant Queen that was suppressed regained her freedom. However, she was nothing more than a shell. The Avīci Satanic Appearance pointed out with its finger and a light flew out from the Heaven-Carrying Ant Queen's body. It was her essence.

Shi Tianhao smiled and said, "Thank you, Third Senior." With that, he revealed his Desolate Taiji Diagram self. In the center of the spinning Taiji Diagram, there was a giant furnace. In the center of the furnace sat his physical body with his eyes closed.

Under Wang Lin's control, the essence of the Heaven-Carrying Ant Queen entered the furnace where Shi Tianhao's physical body was seated. Then, the mouth of the furnace closed as the Desolate Taiji Diagram spun.

With that, the physical body of the Heaven-Carrying Ant Queen entered the Avīci Satanic Appearance. The black-bodied giant began to tremble violently as a powerful energy spread around them, making even Wang Lin's Netherworld Taiji Diagram tremble.

Lu Yuan Grand Sage, the Yu'ao Dragon King and the rest looked at the Netherworld Taiji Diagram, which was under the protection of the Saros Magical Tree, spin faster and faster as an ominous feeling rose in their hearts.

Chapter 948: The Fight Resumes

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Cang Heaven Spell Blade, the Yu'ao Dragon King, the Zu'e Grand Sage and the Lu Yuan Grand Sage looked at the scene going on underneath the Saros Magical Tree and the Netherworld Taiji Diagram that spun non-stop.

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage was the cultivator who lived the longest in this Outer Realm and he was very clear on what was happening. He knew that Wang Lin was cultivating the black mountain, a manifestation of an Ancient Satanic Sect cultivator, and the Heaven-Carrying Ants.

Looking at the situation before him, Wang Lin was clearly trying to fuse the Immortal Soul Second Level's spell body together with the Heaven-Carrying Ants. In doing so, he would form an even stronger avatar.

Not only would the avatar be strong, because of the many Heaven-Carrying Ants, it could come together and split apart as it pleased. Ten thousand Daoist soldiers could form into a single entity and a single entity could turn into ten thousand Daoist soldiers.

When the Lu Yuan Grand Sage thought about how everything before him should have been his, his heart blazed with rage. However, because of the Saros Magical Tree, he could do nothing about it but watch.

The Yu'ao Dragon King too sighed and shook his head as he turned his head to look at the Zu'e Grand Sage and said, "This time, I have burdened you."

The Zu'e Grand Sage shook his head and said coldly, "If I could leave this place today, I swear I will tear every single member of the Celestial Sect of Wonders to pieces."

The sword spirit of the Cang Heaven Spell Blade, Cang Heaven Blade, too was silent. He stared at the Saros Magical Tree and Wang Lin's Netherworld Taiji Diagram form.

The Nine Heavens Sword Sword Shadow that he coveted was right before him, and yet he could not obtain it. Now, he had offended Wang Lin and company, which meant that his troubles were just starting.

Cang Heaven Blade did not regret his own actions. It was near impossible to succeed, but as long as a single strand of hope left, then he shall do his best to fight for it and hope for success. Of course, he had to contend with the risk of failure.

In a blink of an eye, or an eternity, the Netherworld Taiji Diagram began to spin slower. However, the power at its center grew stronger and stronger as it produced an even more powerful attraction force, like a black hole in outer space, as it forcibly dragged everything into its center!

The spiritual energy around it and the magnetic power in the environment were all dragged to the center of the Netherworld Taiji Diagram.

Right now, it was like a whirlpool. At this time, in the heart of the whirlpool, a humongous and terrifying power began to awaken. Initially, it was only a tiny bit but as time passed, it grew.

Finally, it was as if heaven and earth had split open. The vilest, most terrifying thing appeared to be forming underneath whirlpool.

Finally, the giant whirlpool stopped and turned no more.

In the center of the whirlpool, a giant slowly stood up, brimming with an unlimited amount of terrifying, destructive power.

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage's pupils shrunk when he saw the giant. Its face resembled Wang Lin's exactly. Its head touched the skies and its feet stood firmly on the ground.

This was the avatar Wang Lin formed after he had cultivated the Avīci Satanic Appearance of the deceased Satanic Way cultivator and infused it with the bodies of ten thousand Heaven-Carrying Ants as well as his own powers.

The Heaven-Carrying Great Saintly Satanic Avatar!

When this avatar appeared, it roared fiercely. In its roar one could feel a vast, frenzied and murderous aura.

Raw strength brimmed from the avatar, powerful and all-encompassing. The avatar appeared to contain its very own independent universe. As it raised its hand, it was like the chaotic beginning of Creation where the Heavens and Earth separated. As it stomped, it was as if a star had gone out, bringing with it an apocalyptic destruction.

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage, the Zu'e Grand Sage and the Yu'ao Dragon King all had ugly expressions on their faces. They realized that the physical strength of Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar was in no way weaker to their Undying Demon Soul Third Level true forms.

The Yu'ao Dragon King, who was never even strong physically, could not compare to Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar even if he was at full strength.

This terrifying power, which seemed capable of shifting the mountains and plucking the very stars and moon from the sky, was in no way weaker than the Immortal Soul Third Level Zhuge Zhan's strength that he obtained through cultivating the Solar Cultivation Manifestation Mantra, which was more than enough to take on an Undying Demon Soul Third Level demon.

What caught their attention too was that the avatar possessed not only strength but also spells and mantras. A light shone over its head as it turned into a realistic projection. It not only had the Four Appearances and the Eight Trigrams, but it also contained ten thousand roaring Netherworld spirits. It was as if a tiny world was encapsulated in the diagram.

That was the manifestation of the Great Satanic Avatar's martial prowess. Right now, the Great Satanic Avatar was only its initial stage and the crystallization of its martial prowess was only in its very first stages. However, it was enough to strike fear in others.

In the days to come, with more cultivation, it would only become more and more powerful.

The Great Satanic Avatar landed on the ground and the entire Outer Realm trembled. The Netherworld Taiji Diagram on its head spun and Wang Lin regained his human form. He sat cross-legged on the right ear of the Great Satanic Avatar as he looked calmly at the Lu Yuan Grand Sage.

His gaze fell upon the circular diagram on the Lu Yuan Grand Sage's forehead.

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage who had fought against Wang Lin directly felt a shudder in his heart as he met Wang Lin's gaze. He felt that there was something different about Wang Lin.

It was not only because he obtained a powerful Martial Way avatar. His own body felt different.

He thought about how he found it harder and harder to reflect Wang Lin's spells and the Lu Yuan Grand Sage's sage became more serious.

At the same time, the rage in his heart flared up even more intensely. The Great Satanic Avatar should have been his.

Wang Lin sat on the Great Satanic Avatar's right ear and Shi Tianhao sat on its left ear. The Great Satanic Avatar's form was incredibly huge and hence, even the lobe of his ear felt extremely spacious.

Shi Tianhao too caught the attention of the Yu'ao Dragon King and the Cang Heaven Blade. While his body was so much smaller than the Great Satanic Avatar's that he appeared to be a mosquito next to an elephant, the body in his frame was exceedingly terrifying.

The strength that coursed through his veins appeared to be something solid, like iron. Compared to earlier, he appeared even more powerful.

His small frame appeared to have the body to lift the very heaven.

The demons all possessed an ability for spotting talents. Looking at Shi Tianhao, their hearts grew cold as they thought, "While he did cultivate the essence of the Heaven-Carrying Ant, it was still that of a Heaven-Carrying Ant Queen who had yet to form her original true spirit. While it's powerful, his own powers were already exceptional. His strength should not have increased so much…"

The three demons and the one sword all felt a wave of suspicion in their hearts. However, time did not allow them to ponder too much. Shi Tianhao smiled and said, "Now, the fight resumes."

With that, his form flashed, and he appeared before the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and company!

Wang Lin arrived next to him at the same time. He handed Yang Qing and company over to the Saros Magical Tree as he and the Great Satanic Avatar cut through the void and appeared right before the Lu Yuan Grand Sage!

The Great Satanic Avatar waved its hand and its ten fingers turned into claws. It slashed towards the Lu Yuan Grand Sage in an attack known as the Avīci Divine Claws, a powerful Martial Way attack of the Ancient Satanic Sect.

The cultivators of the Ancient Satanic Sect could cultivate their Avīci Undying Bodies into Avīci Satanic Appearance, which were all powerful Martial Way avatars. Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar was able to inherit the martial prowess of the Ancient Satanic Sect perfectly.

Right now, under this powerful strength, where a single claw could tear about the heaven, earth and the void, it was as if the Outer Realm was at risk of being torn to shreds.

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage's face was green as he clashed heads-first with Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar. In terms of physical strength, he was disadvantaged.

This made him even more frustrated and panicky. He leered at Wang Lin and said, "Little b*stard, you stole what should have been mine but it can only be a shield for you, sparing you from my Ten Thousand Mirror Appearances. However, no matter how strong your avatar is, it can do nothing to me!"

"If you fall into my hands in the future, I will skin you alive!"

As he said that, he opened his mouth and expelled a ray of cruel, white light. The white light spread apart in the skies like a sea of light as it engulfed Wang Lin and the Great Satanic Avatar.

Wang Lin's looked at him coldly and shed his human form as he turned into a Netherworld Taiji Diagram. As he spun, a colorful ball of light appeared in the center of the Taiji Diagram. It appeared both real and illusory and its movements were hard to follow. From it, one could feel a tremendous amount of energy.

The ball of colored light shot straight at the Lu Yuan Grand Sage. Tightly afterwards, Wang Lin used his own Yama Imperial Pavilion to smash the Lu Yuan Grand Sage.

The circular diagram on the Lu Yuan Grand Sage's forehead flashed like a mirror. White light shot out from it, enveloping both the colored ball and the Yama Imperial Pavilion.

A replica of the Yama Imperial Pavilion appeared in mid-air. However, Wang Lin's ball of colored light only trembled slightly upon coming into contact with the light from the mirror.

An identical ball of light appeared in the void too. However, it disintegrated almost instantly.

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage's face changed color. His Ten Thousand Mirror Appearances was not invincible. If his opponent's attacks were powerful to a certain extent, then he would be unable to reflect it.

However, Wang Lin's attack did not appear to have changed in terms of quality compared to just now. Yet, he was unable to reflect the ball of colored light!

The colored ball of light sliced silently through the void. Yet, it was like a hammer as it smashed against a bright, yet fragile, mirror as it completely shattered the white light!

Then, it shattered the Yama Imperial Pavilion in the white light too. In the next instant, Wang Lin's Yama Imperial Pavilion smashed directly on the Lu Yuan Grand Sage's head, making him bleed.

At the same time, the Great Satanic Avatar punched out, coordinating with Wang Lin's attack. It directly smashed the chest of the Lu Yuan Grand Sage, who was already bleeding from his head because of the Yama Imperial Pavilion. This time, he was sent flying as blood poured everywhere from his true form.

He was barely able to dodge another one of Wang Lin's attack. He stared at Wang Lin in disbelief as he said, "The spell just now…"

Wang Lin was expressionless as he said, "I have been thinking about this spell for quite some time. Before today, it was not yet mature, and I only have a vague idea of it. Battling with you makes me think about the many bottlenecks I had encountered and today, I am finally able to succeed."

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage's heart sank as he thought, "This spell…" A panic and sense of danger like which he had never felt before rose in his heart. However, he did not have much time to think as Wang Lin resumed his attack.

This time, he was prepared and hence, he was not caught off-guard. However, as he was already injured, his battling abilities fell. Coupled with the fact that his Ten Thousand Mirror Appearances was shattered, he was sure to lose against Wang Lin now.

He looked to his side at the Yu'ao Dragon King and company, and the sense of despair in his heart rose even more.

He saw Shi Tianhao sent the Yu'ao Dragon King flying with a single punch!

Chapter 949: Earth Dragon King

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage knew that he had lost against Wang Lin. All he could do was to hold on. If he could not escape, then all he could do was to battle to the death. If there was no chance of a rebound, the best he could hope for was to make Wang Lin pay.

When he looked at his fellow combatants, he realized that the situation was much worse.

Between Xu Anda and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade, it was still a draw. While Xu Anda possessed a slight advantage, it would not be easy for him to turn his advantage into a victory.

The Cang Heaven Spell Blade, which was a Mahayana level magic treasure since the Antiquity Age, had cultivated for a very long time. While he was in a bottleneck, his powers were in no way inferior to that of an Immortal Soul Third Level sword cultivator.

Jie Luoshi of Mount Shu was not even in his peak during the Anti-Celestial Sect War because his sword heart was not yet stable.

However, even Jie Luoshi at his peak could not compare against the Cang Heaven Spell Blade.

The Cang Heaven Spell Blade's battle against Xu Anda was almost at a draw. On the other side, it was easier to spot the winner and loser in the battle between the Zu'e Grand Sage and Zhuge Zhan. Zhuge Zhan, with the Scorching Sun Spear in hand, possessed an advantage over the Zu'e Grand Sage, who had revealed his true form.

However, defeating the Zu'e Grand Sage was no easy task, particularly since the Zu'e Grand Sage had no possible mean of escaping, meaning that he may resort to a battle to the death. Even if Zhuge Zhan could kill the Zu'e Grand Sage, he himself would have to pay a heavy price. In the worst-case scenario, he may even perish.

To Zhuge Zhan, this was not even within his consideration. To him, whoever dared touch his beloved daughter would definitely not be spared.

However, the Zu'e Grand Sage could still hold his own against Zhuge Zhan. The Yu'ao Dragon King was in a pathetic state. He was already severely injured and now, he had to face Shi Tianhao, who was even more ferocious than before. In this situation, his predicament was even worse than the Lu Yuan Grand Sage's.

Under Shi Tianhao's attacks, which came at him like the storm, the Yu'ao Dragon King felt as if he was surrounded by danger all around him.

At first, he thought he could still stand his ground using the Unique Gift of the White Dragon Tribe. However, Shi Tianhao's understanding of the Dao of space was deep. However, his understanding of reality and illusion was not as good as Wang Lin's, giving the Yu'ao Dragon King some breather here and there.

However, the Yu'ao Dragon King was extremely unlucky. Shi Tianhao was able to obtain the Yellow Heaven Bell, a treasure that was good at neither defense nor offense. However, it possessed one unique ability: it was able to overcome an enemy's control of Time, Space and reality and illusion.

Hence, while the Yellow Heaven Bell was only a Metaplasia level magic treasure, It proved to be super effective against the severely-injured Yu'ao Dragon King.

While it was only able to partially get rid of his Unique Gift, it was enough to let Shi Tianhao catch his dragon tail and beat him up.

Looking at this scene, the Lu Yuan Grand Sage, who had been forced into a corner by Wang Lin, could feel a sense of despair rising in his heart. When he looked at the Saros Magical Tree, which remained immobile and stared quietly at them, the despair in his heart grew even stronger.

With the Saros Magical Tree, it meant that not only did the Celestial Sect of Wonders cut off their escape, it also meant that Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao were undefeatable.

Even if they did not possess an advantage and were instead at a disadvantage, or if they were about to lose and were facing enormous danger, as long as the Saros Magical Tree hid them, all the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and company could do was to stare.

"Master of the Celestial Sect, Master of the Celestial Sect, when did…" The Lu Yuan Grand Sage did not understand what was going on. "How could he cultivate such a treasure and train such disciples? What kind of person is the Master of the Celestial Sect? Can the Earth Dragon King and the Golden Cicada match him?"

As he ran these five words through his brain, it was enough to reveal the Lu Yuan Grand Sage's mindset. He regretted from the very bottom of his heart that had he knew about this situation, he would have scrammed immediately instead of spending time together with Wang Lin and the rest.

Even if he knew only of the existence of the Saros Magical Tree, he would not have bothered to stay.

However, looking at the Yellow Heaven Bell and the Heaven-Carrying Great Saintly Satanic Avatar, the Lu Yuan Grand Sage continued to steam in rage. Nothing was much important than his life. Right now, he was agonizing over how should he scape.

The Yu'ao Dragon King and the Zu'e Grand Sage had the same mindset. Initially, they thought they were able to catch hostages. Who knew that they would soon be the one delivered on a platter to others.

At this time, a voice sounded in the sky, "Yu'ao, your intention is good. However, you are too rash this time."

The voice was elegant and peaceful, brimming with wisdom and wholeness. While it delighted the Yu'ao Dragon King, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao both frowned.

Because that voice was clearly from the Golden Cicada!

At the same time, another voice, more fierce and awe-inspiring, sounded, "Yu'ao, Zu'e, the two of you are too impulsive."

The voice brimmed with a mysterious, heavenly awe. Listeners felt a sudden desire to kneel in submission to the speakers and follow his every order.

Saros, who sat on top of the Saros Magical Tree, suddenly stood up. He furrowed his eyebrows tightly together as the dark gold light that enveloped this Outer Realm rippled like waves. Suddenly, it dissipated and returned to his body.

Two shadows split open the void from different directions as they appeared.

One side was being led by a handsome young monk clad in grey robes. It was the Golden Cicada.

By his side, there was a ferocious white tiger. Its two emotionless eyes shone with an icy cold and demonic light. That was the White Tiger Grand Sage.

On the other side, there was a giant, odd-looking snake. It had the body of a snake and the faces of humans. Its nine faces were no different from that of a human. The snake was icy-cold and cruel as it gave off a terrifyingly violent power. When it opened its mouths, it spewed thick poisonous fog and sticky, thick, black water. That was the Xiangliu Grand Sage.

On the other side, there were two Dragon Awe Auspicious Clouds. One emerald green and one pure gold.

The emerald green Dragon Awe Auspicious Clouds exuded a powerful awe, but it could not compare to that of the golden cloud next to it. The awe from the golden cloud pressurized even powerful demons such as the White Tiger Grand Sage and the Xiangliu Grand Sage.

The White Tiger Grand Sage fared better than the Xiangliu Grand Sage, whose body twisted about uneasily.

The Yu'ao Dragon King and the Zu'e Grand Sage both bowed their heads in the face of the golden cloud as they submitted to its authority.

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage, which was normally rowdy and lawless, too quietened down. He was like a local boss who had just been ordered to obedience by an emperor.

Everyone in the Outer Realm, except the Golden Cicada, felt a strong pressure when they faced the golden cloud, regardless whether they were humans or demons.

Zhuge Zhan stared at the golden Dragon Awe Auspicious Clouds and asked in a deep voice, "Are you the Origins Celestial Dragon or the Earth Celestial Dragon?"

Dragons that survived the Alpha Destiny Tribulation would have their bloodlines purified. Regardless what race they were, they would all turn into Immemorial Celestial Dragons.

Unlike other demons, dragons did not use their own names. Only their closest relatives knew what that true names were. Every dragon would give itself a fake name that could be used in interaction with others.

For example, Yu'ao, Purple Sea, Red, Liuyan or even Azure Sky. These are the names of dragons known to outsiders.

That was because the true name of a dragon was imbued with power and curses. It directly impacted its owners' essence, Qi and soul. If outsiders knew about it, then it would be easier to defeat the dragon.

Hence, after they underwent the Alpha Destiny Tribulation and turned into Immemorial Celestial Dragons, they would take another name. Normally, this name would only have a single word.

One of the three most powerful demons in the Antiquity Age was known as Emperor Jue, Xuan Shang. Xuan Shang was his real name and his fake name was Jue. Hence, he was known as the dragon Jue.

Right now, there were two powerful dragons who had passed the Alpha Destiny Tribulation. They were the Origins Dragon King and the Earth Dragon King, also known as the Origins Celestial Dragon and the Earth Celestial Dragon.

At their level, it did not really matter if others knew that real name or not. However, out of custom, they never revealed their real names.

When he heard Zhuge Zhan's question, Shi Tianhao replied quietly, "This is the Earth Celestial Dragon."

Zhuge Zhan nodded his head and said nothing. While the Origin Celestial Dragon was the true leader of the dragons, the Earth Celestial Dragon passed the Alpha Destiny Tribulations too. None of them present could fight them. However, Zhuge Zhan was not scared. If anyone dared to threaten his daughter, his only response would be to fight!

When the Golden Cicada revealed himself, he offered his greetings to the golden Dragon Awe Auspicious Cloud in the customary Buddhist fashion, "Earth Dragon King, I pay my respects to you as a humble, poor monk."

The Golden Awe Dragon Cloud trembled slightly and said, "Golden Cicada, I have no intention of joining forces with you. If not for Yu'ao and Zu'e, I would not have come. Battling against the Master of the Celestial Sect is my true intention."

While the Yu'ao Dragon King served as a bridge between the two, the relationship between the Golden Cicada and the dragons was only so-so.

The Golden Cicada replied, "I have no intention of involving Yu'ao and Zu'e. This is an accident."

The Yu'ao Dragon King said, "Master, Granduncle Earth Dragon, the reason I came was to help shoulder some of master's burden. Also, I wish to get Third Senior back."

The Golden Cicada shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. With the temperament of the Master of the Celestial Sect, he would not take his anger out on your Third Senior. If I, and the Earth Dragon King, can beat him, Nine Infants will naturally be safe."

The Yu'ao Dragon King sighed, "I am rash."

The Earth Dragon King, who was still enveloped by the golden Dragon Awe Auspicious Cloud, said, "Yu'ao, this time, you did not live up to expectations." He travelled such a far way with the intention of finding Lin Feng. However, when he realized that the Yu'ao Dragon King and the Zu'e Grand Sage were trapped, he rushed into the Outer Realm.

While he felt the Golden Cicada coming, he still decided to go in himself. To him, he must save his own kind with his own hands.

The Yu'ao Dragon King was utterly humiliated as he was berated in front of everyone, including Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao, by the Earth Dragon King. However, all he did was to acknowledge his mistake as he said, "Granduncle is right."

Who knew that the words of the Earth Dragon King changed rapidly. "While you are rash, the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders did hurt you. They must pay the price!"

"How can anyone hurt a dragon without paying the price?"

As he said that, golden light spread from the Dragon Awe Auspicious Cloud, sweeping Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao inside.

Saros fused back into the Saros Magical Tree as he gave off an unlimited amount of light once more as he protected the Celestial Sect of Wonders. However, under the pressure from the Earth Dragon King, he was forced slowly forced back, shaking so violently as if he may give way anytime.

The Saros Magical Tree was trapped by the demon powers of the Earth Dragon King and no longer able to protect Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao and company. Wang Lin engulfed the rest of his sect with his mana. Now, only Shi Tianhao, the Heavenly Gods-Sealing Banner, Xu Anda, Zhuge Zhan and he were left.

As they watched the Earth Dragon King trap the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and company were elated. Their hearts felt freer as they felt as if they had been vindicated.

The Yu'ao Dragon King did nothing. The Lu Yuan Grand Sage was not a dragon so he did not dare to do anything too. The Zu'e Grand Sage smiled coldly at Wang Lin and company and rushed over. At that moment, Wang Lin and the rest devoted all of their energy to resisting the pressure from the Earth Dragon King. They were as defenseless as lambs.

The Zu'e Grand Sage lashed out with his tail and sent Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar flying. Then, he smiled coldly and said, "You want to trap us and kill us, don't you? You have a big appetite. Just now, could you have imagined that this would have happened?"

With that, he rushed towards Shi Tianhao, spreading his big, red mouth wide open as if he wanted to swallow him. "You ambushed us just now in the Steel Polarity Mine, aren't you very pleased with yourselves?"

Chapter 950: If You Court Death, Don't Blame Others

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Zu'e Grand Sage rushed towards Shi Tianhao. However, right after he knocked Wang Lin's Great Satanic Avatar back, the golden Dragon Awe Auspicious Cloud in the sky suddenly shook and the Earth Dragon King's voice resonated, "Zu'e, step back!"

With that line, the golden Dragon Awe Auspicious Cloud suddenly opened and the entire Outer Realm was bathed in a golden light. The entire space quietened. Everyone felt as if they were insects caught in an amber.

The only person who could move was the Golden Cicada. However, he said nothing at that moment. A figure of a giant cicada appeared above his forehead and a deafening buzz of the cries of cicadas sounded. It did not seem to be resisting the Earth Dragon King's golden Auspicious Cloud, but instead it seemed to be joining forces with it.

While everyone stared in shock, Luo Qingwu, who was enveloped by Wang Lin's mana, suddenly revealed herself. A bright golden light shone on her forehead. With that, a huge figure suddenly appeared in the Outer Realm.

The figure resembled Lin Feng exactly. The giant's clothes loosely fluttered in the wind as its facial appearances were exactly like Lin Feng's. Its clothes and skin were made entirely from eye-dazzling, golden flames.

A sun-shaped diagram could be seen on its forehead and it appeared to be burning furiously. The entire giant was as bright and eye-catching as the sun in the sky. It was Lin Feng's Great Sun Fire Lord Spell Body.

Faced against the Earth Dragon King and the Golden Cicada, Lin Feng never believed that he could take care of them with a spell body.

The gigantic Great Sun Fire Lord Spell Body shrunk non-stop and soon, the flames disappeared.

Through his Great Sun Fire Lord Spell Body, Lin Feng himself was able to come personally.

The Earth Dragon King and the Golden Cicada sought to stop him.

In another time, the Earth Dragon King could not wait for Lin Feng's arrival. He sought to battle with him. However, the moment Lin Feng came, the Zu'e Grand Sage, who was attacking Shi Tianhao, was in trouble.

Lightning crackled, and fire sparks flashed as the Earth Dragon King revealed his demonic powers. he sought to hold Lin Feng off temporarily and at the same time, a ray of golden light enveloped the Zu'e Grand Sage. He sought to bring him to safety while he blocked Lin Feng temporarily. If Lin Feng came afterwards, the Earth Dragon King would naturally be happy.

However, Lin Feng had prepared for the arrival of the Earth Dragon King and the Golden Cicada in the Outer Realm. Hence, with his preparations completed, it was too late for the Earth Dragon King and the Golden Cicada to stop him.

When Lin Feng, clad in purple robes and with hair coming down to his shoulders, appeared before the Zu'e Grand Sage, an expression of shock appeared in the Zu'e Grand Sage's eyeballs.

The golden Auspicious Cloud that enveloped the Outer Realm appeared to heave slightly and the Dragon Awe Auspicious Cloud concentrated together tightly. With that, the entire Outer Realm started to shatter!

A powerful energy that appeared capable of bringing about the Apocalypse was summoned.

Space twisted and the earth cracked open. The sky became a whirl of chaos as the entire Outer Realm collapsed.

The Golden Cicada started to use his powers too as the White Tiger Grand Sage, the Xiangliu Grand Sage and the Azure Sky Dragon King too tried to move.

Lin Feng's expression was calm as he slammed his palms together, activating the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World. This stabilized the collapsing Outer Realm.

At the same time, thunder roared in the skies and a white figure appeared before everyone. Thunder intermingled with black and white rays of light around its body and even the tiny cracks between its scales exuded Dragon Awe Auspicious Cloud.

When they saw the white figure, the Earth Dragon King, the Azure Sky Dragon Sky and the Yu'ao Dragon King all roared in anger.

Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar appeared before everyone.

In the white thunderclouds, the Thunder Dragon Avatar roared into the skies. As thunder roared, one could see Creation taking place in its eyes.

Its powerful body alternated between reality and illusion non-stop. In the previous instant, it brimmed with a powerful, demonic aura. In the next instant, it turned into a ball of light. It was akin to the virtual entity human cultivators formed after reaching the Immortal Soul Second Level.

In the depths of the Taiji diagram in Lin Feng's own forehead which could not be discovered by anyone else, there was a Divine Original True Spirit Pattern that only demons should possess. It blazed with light and appeared to be communicating with the Thunder Dragon Avatar's own Divine Original True Spirit Pattern.

Lin Feng himself and his avatar cast the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell together with Lin Feng as the main caster and the avatar as his assistant. He pulled off a power more powerful than that he had used to subdue the monkey, and was already capable of restoring the Outer Realm that was being destroyed by the Earth Dragon King.

The powerful and mystical energy made even the Earth Dragon King and the Golden Cicada look twice.

When the Earth Dragon King was destroying the Outer Realm, he sought to destroy it completely. Not only must he destroy the space where it existed, he also sought to change the flow of time to make sure that this Outer Realm never even existed in the first place.

With Lin Feng's Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell, he was able to reverse the flow of time, which was an even more powerful force. Forcibly, he turned around the scene of destruction before him and reconstructed the Outer Realm.

This terrifying power isolated the Zu'e Grand Sage from the Earth Dragon King and the Golden Cicada. At the same time, it cut off communication between the Earth Dragon King and the Zu'e Grand Sage.

The Earth Dragon King roared and as his roar reverberated in the sky and the space, a golden giant dragon that seemed impossibly long appeared from the Auspicious Cloud. This powerful dragon was about to reveal himself.

The giant cicada light image above the Golden Cicada's head began to materialize as a powerful demonic energy started to spread, accelerating the decay of the Outer Realm.

The White Tiger Grand Sage, the Xiangliu Grand Sage and the Azure Sky Dragon too attacked. Together with the Earth Dragon King and the Golden Cicada, they started to break Lin Feng's Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell.

However, they were stopped by the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell. Lin Feng flashed to the side and he appeared before the Zu'e Grand Sage. His expression was neutral and his gaze solidified and turned into a blurred light. it was the Heaven Extreme Universal Light.

The Heaven Extreme Universal Light formed from Lin Feng's gaze surrounded the Zu'e Grand Sage, who could not move. Time appeared to stop. The Zu'e Grand Sage could not even think.

The Zu'e Grand Sage panicked, and black fog surrounded his body as the powers of the luminaries surged within him. He sought to use the powers of his original form and the demon soul to destroy Lin Feng's Heaven Extreme Universal Light.

"If you court death, don't blame others. Your time is up," said Lin Feng quietly. His right index and middle fingers were straight like two swords and the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi formed a blurred light. Then, he sliced at the Zu'e Grand Sage's throat before stabbing and slashing all over his body.

When the Zu'e Grand Sage regained consciousness, he discovered to his shock that the last scene he would see in his life was his headless body.

In the black fog around his body, the last bit of luminaries there slowly lost their light.

In the next instant, the Zu'e Grand Sage lost all consciousness. All that was left was his headless body and a giant head that flew up into the sky!

After breaking through Lin Feng's Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell, the Earth Dragon King said nothing. In his Immemorial Celestial Dragon Form, his eyes, which were like the sun and moon, stared tightly at Lin Feng. Then, his gaze swept past the Zu'e Grand Sage's corpse and Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar before finally falling on Lin Feng.

Lin Feng returned his gaze calmly as he said, "Earth Dragon King, I have heard your name for quite some time."

His gaze then turned to the Golden Cicada as he said with a faint smile, "Golden Cicada Master, are you rushing to leave?"

The Golden Cicada sighed and said, "Indeed, all of my preparations earlier cannot avoid detection by you. I should not have hoped that it was even possible."

Lin Feng was able to catch onto a trace of the Golden Cicada. Even if he tried to hide, he cannot escape from Lin Feng.

However, the Golden Cicada was indeed exceptional in terms of powers. With his Unique Gift and Buddhist cultivation, he was able to cloak himself from others for short periods of time. Hence, Lin Feng found it hard to catch him.

When he and the Earth Dragon King rushed to the Outer Realm, he did not expect Lin Feng to sense him so quickly. If not for the fact that Lin Feng had been prepared, the two Alpha Destiny Tribulations demons would be able to stop his coming.

Of course, that was the Golden Cicada's plans. For the Earth Dragon King, if not for the need to save the Zu'e Grand Sage, he could not wait for Lin Feng to come.

However, since they were all there, the Golden Cicada was in no rush to leave.

In that short time, the Outer Realm trembled once more and a few, almost-unreal, spots of light could be seen in the void outside.

However, Lin Feng, the Golden Cicada and the Earth Dragon King knew that those were the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Heavenly Master Grand Sage, the Golden Roc Grand Sage and other powerful demons. Also, there was a monkey.

The most powerful demons of the Barren Expanses all received word and were congregating there.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on Lin Feng, the Golden Cicada and the Earth Dragon King. They too placed attention on the White Tiger Grand Sage, the Azure Sky Dragon King and the Xiangliu Grand Sage. Everyone observed the happenings in the Outer Realm carefully.

Lin Feng's gaze swept past the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the other demons. He knew their intentions well.

If they could kill Lin Feng there and the, without spending much effort, all the demons, with the possible exception of the monkey, would surely be delighted.

Of course, let's not talk about the history of hatred between humans and demons and the War of the Two Worlds. In terms of purely interests and benefits, humans viewed the bodies of demons as treasures. Likewise, for demons, devouring an Immortal Soul stage human cultivator's flesh and blood, or the original soul of his magic treasures, was extremely beneficial too.

However, the demons too were rather fearful that others may take advantage of the situation. Hence, without a 100% chance of assurance, they would not act so easily.

Other than that, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the rest were awaiting the battle between Lin Feng and the Golden Cicada and the Earth Dragon King.

Two Alpha Destiny Tribulations demons and three Cardinal Tribulations Beginning Stage demons. The last time this many powerful cultivators stood on the same time was during the Anti-Celestial Sect War led by Mount Shu.

Even so, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage did not expect the Earth Dragon King and the Golden Cicada to beat Lin Feng. However, as long as they could force Lin Feng to use up all his strength, then they would likely come in.

Of course, no one can predict what happened in a battle. It could be just as likely that the demons sought to take advantage of the Golden Cicada, an eventuality he was prepared for. However, this was a risk he had to take. If not, he would never be able to keep his actions private from Lin Feng.

The Earth Dragon King noticed the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the rest. He ignored them, instead choosing to continue fixate Lin Feng with his gaze as he said in a low voice, "Golden Cicada, don't interfere!"

As he roared, he rushed towards Lin Feng with the arrogance and pride of a pure-blooded dragon who had undergone the Alpha Destiny Tribulation. He wanted to see who was the better one, regardless how famous Lin Feng was or how spectacular his battle records were.

Chapter 951: Is There a Limit to the Powers of the Master of the Celestial Sect?

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Golden Cicada stood in the void as he gave off a powerful, demonic aura. The White Tiger Grand Sage and the Xiangliu Grand Sage did nothing as they stared coldly at the Earth Dragon King, who rushed towards Lin Feng.

After they personally witnessed how Lin Feng battled against the Nine Netherworld Ten-sided Dual Garbhadhātu and heard of the Lin Feng's exploits against the monkey, even the arrogant White Tiger Grand Sage forgo all intentions of battling against Lin Feng.

However, they understood the nature of the dragons and the Earth Dragon King. While dragons were brutal and violent, they were arrogant and solitary too. Even if he really were to be beaten senseless in front of Lin Feng, the Earth Dragon King would not necessarily participate in the attack.

By assisting him, the Earth Dragon King's most likely course of action would be to quit from the battle and watch coldly from the side. After the Golden Cicada and his followers and Lin Feng were done fighting, then he would challenge Lin Feng once more.

Even his fellow kind, the Azure Sky Dragon King, did not plan on helping him out. The azure Dragon Awe Auspicious Clouds floated in the sky, unmoving.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Heavenly Master Grand Sage and the rest looked calmly at the Earth Dragon King by the side. They knew his style of doing things and hence, they were slightly helpless in this regard.

To them, the arrogant, stubborn dragons were the best kind of weapon against opponents. However, often, because of their arrogance, they were a cause of headache for the other demons too.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage looked at the Earth Dragon King and shook her head slowly, saying, "Earth Celestial Dragon, ultimately, you aren't the Origins Celestial Dragon."

However, since things were already at this stage, there was no point in thinking any more. The Golden Cicada did not want to join forces with others. However, if the Earth Dragon King did not act, then the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the rest would join the battle. Hence, when the situation was as delicate as right now, he had no choice.

Lin Feng, however, watched interestedly at the Earth Dragon King. Strictly speaking, this was his first time looking at a true Immemorial Celestial Dragon.

The leader of the Primordial Age and the emperor of all demons was an Immemorial Celestial Dragon. At that time, he came very close to conquering the entire Grand Celestial World and becoming the number one tribe in the entire world.

Emperor Jue, Xuan Shang, was one of the three most powerful demons in the history of the Grand Celestial World. He was also the earliest. Every single human emperor, from Emperor Shi to Emperor Tai, was killed by him. It was only at the end of the Primordial Age when the Great Void Holy Man used joined forces with Emperor Tai and killed Emperor Jue with the Supreme Heavenly Mirror.

However, to kill Emperor Jue, Xuan Shang, the humans incurred heavy losses. Emperor Tai fell in battle and the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai was almost completely ruined. The Great Void Holy Man and his Supreme Heavenly Mirror too were severely damaged.

Other than that, many other powerful human cultivators fell at the hands of Emperor Jue.

Not only did the humans incur heavy losses, the demons did too. Many demons who sought to resist the conquest of the dragons too perished and went extinct at the hands of Emperor Jue.

At the same time Emperor Jue fell, many powerful dragons died too. Since the fall of the Immemorial Celestial Dragons, they took a very long time to finally regain their former prowess.

After the fall of the Hades Emperor, the Hades Tribe disappeared completely. From then on, the dragons were the most powerful tribe in the Barren Expanses.

While the leader of the dragons, the Origins Celestial Dragon, resided deep in the Black Sea, the Earth Dragon King was also another powerful dragon who was in the Vipralopa Stage. Earlier, he attacked the Great Void Sect's base in the Barren Expanses, Mount Taihua in a truly spectacular attack. If not for the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, Mount Taihua would have been completely flattened.

While the Earth Dragon King was arrogant, he decided to reveal his true from after he experienced the powers of Lin Feng's Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell to engage Lin Feng in an all-out battle.

His golden dragon scales opened and closed, and a powerful Dragon Awe Auspicious Cloud that was akin to pure gold began to spread. Wherever the Auspicious Cloud touched, the void was instantly destroyed and the Outer Realm where everyone was located was once again about to be destroyed.

At this moment, Lin Feng engulfed his disciples and the Thunder Dragon Avatar with his protective mana. He no longer sought to protect the Outer Realm as he allowed it to disintegrate.

He opened his palms and conjured numerous, shining spell formations which congregated together. He activated the Two Elements of Creation Spell, which started to inverse the flow of energy. The giant amount of energy that the Earth Dragon King used to destroy the Outer Realm was completely reversed and shot back at him.

Golden light blazed around the Earth Dragon King in the void. His head and tail shimmered in and out of existence as the golden light completely blocked off the destructive energy.

The moment the Earth Dragon King used that attack, Lin Feng stared at the golden treasure light surrounding the Earth Dragon King as he tried to figure out the powers within. He too could not resist arching his eyebrows in shock as he thought, "Indeed, he possesses the many different draconic powers."

In the golden light that managed to block off the destructive powers, Lin Feng saw the power over time of the Candle Dragons, the Illusion and Reality Mystic Switching Spell of the White Dragons, the Royal Bastille Curse of the Bastille Black Dragons and the vast amount of demonic powers possessed by the Yellow Dragons…

Unlike the monkey, the Dark Emperor or the Lu Yuan Grand Sage, who could only reflect one particular attack, the Earth Dragon King possessed the teachings and Dao of numerous attacks, mantras and Unique Gifts. It was not a simple amalgamation of their attacks but instead, his golden form possessed this many powerful and mystic spells innately.

While it was impossible to completely master so many different principles of the Dao, and the Earth Dragon King had not yet perfected everything, it was already very terrifying that he should possess the essence of so many different spells.

With regards to the legend of the Immemorial Celestial Dragons, Lin Feng had heard many of them. However, it could not compare to seeing the real thing. Today, as he fought the Earth Dragon King, he knew that the fame of the dragons was well-deserved.

"Amongst the many demons I fought, only the monkey may be able to defeat this demon. With this power, even the Golden Cicada may not be his match." Lin Feng's expression was calm as he summoned up his many attacks to fight the Earth Dragon King.

The Earth Dragon King, who had revealed his true form, was indeed stronger than the monkey who did not reveal his true form in the fight earlier.

However, Lin Feng's expression was calm. In his fight against the Earth Dragon King, he managed to figure out the many powers of the dragons. As he fought, he pondered.

He swept the surroundings with his gaze. Then, he noticed that the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade were attempting to run away in different directions.

"It's too late to escape." Lin Feng smiled slightly as the light above his head flashed. The Thunder Dragon Avatar and the Saros Magical Tree flew out at the same time as they blocked the paths of the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade respectively, capturing them.

The Azure Dragon King snorted coldly. He did not want to interfere in the battle between the Earth Dragon King and Lin Feng. However, when he saw the Thunder Dragon Avatar, he felt anger soaring in his heart. Immediately, he rushed up to the Thunder Dragon Avatar and attempted to subdue it.

Two giant dragons, one white and one azure, revealed themselves as they battled intensely in the void. No one could tell which was which.

The Azure Sky Dragon King was shocked. Unlike Lin Feng himself, whose mastery was a mystery to many, when others saw the Thunder Dragon Avatar they all knew that it was an Undying Demon Soul Second Level avatar. However, right now the, the Azure Sky Dragon King's Azure Light World was useless against the Four Appearances Two Elements Divine Thunder of the Thunder Dragon Avatar.

"The spells he cultivated with his demonic form are very strange. While it appears like the Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao, it is still very different." The Azure Sky Dragon King had a good eye for things and he was able to identify the various spells and mantras. However, the more he looked, the more confused he became "How can an Undying Demon Soul Second Level demon possess such powers?"

"This thunder is extremely powerful. It is even superior to my tribe's Eight Barrens Divine Lightning or the Suan Ni Tribe's Purple Smoke Earthen Thunder."

As the Azure Sky Dragon King battled against Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar, it caught the attention of the many demons, regardless whether it was the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Heavenly Master Grand Sage or the Golden Roc Grand Sage. Everyone stared at the Thunder Dragon Avatar as they tried to deduce its powers.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage paid special attention. Her eyes shone like the stars and her shapeless and ethereal form suddenly started to vibrate. It was as if the demon powers on her body were changing non-stop as a layer of dark, purple light appeared on her body.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage's black eyes shone with cold light. He too devoted all his attention to it as a purple light shone over his golden feathers.

In the next instant, he closed his eyes and completely withdrew his supernatural awareness.

If he continued staring at the Thunder Dragon Avatar, he feared that he could not suppress his impulsive urge.

The more he tried to figure out the powers of the Thunder Dragon Avatar, the more he realized that it was vast and boundless like the stars. It was extremely enthralling, and he sought to battle with it to feel it in person.

The Heavenly Master Grand Sage stared at the Thunder Dragon Avatar with his shining, red eyes. However, what he was focusing on was its potential to be used as a reference for his Rock of the Mountain. Unlike the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage, both of whom had the Hades' Dark Mantra on them, his demonic powers did not come from the Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao.

Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar had a special relationship with the Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao. However, he was able to inject his own elements into it to make it different. This made the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage extremely envious.

However, just by looking at the side, they could not see the more crucial parts of it and hence, both were extremely frustrated. Their frustration could clearly be sensed.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage stared at the battle between the Thunder Dragon Avatar and the Azure Sky Dragon King. After a long while, she shook her head. Due to the difference in her understanding of the Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao and her own cultivation level, she managed to understand it better than the Golden Roc Grand Sage. However, just by looking at it from the side, her understanding of it was limited too.

"How can an Undying Demon Soul Second Level demon fight the Azure Sky Dragon King, who is just a step away from the Cardinal Tribulations Final Stage?" The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage's gaze flashed. "Such power."

Other than the Azure Sky Dragon King, the demons from the Golden Cicada's side too acted. The Xiangliu Grand Sage rushed towards the Saros Magical Tree.

"The Earth Dragon King is really inflexible. Is There a limit to the powers of the Master of the Celestial Sect? Is he really not scared that we will act?" The Xiangliu Grand Sage laughed coldly. "It that's the case, then I shall suppress your magic treasure. If I could devour it, it is even better than devouring an Immortal Soul Third Level cultivator!"

The White Tiger Grand Sage and the Golden Ciacada did nothing but continued staring hungrily at Lin Feng.

Everyone saw how Lin Feng used his Thunder Dragon Avatar and the Saros Magical Tree to stop the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade. All of them shook their heads silently and thought, "We were too kind to you in the Ancient Ape Demons' Lingyuan Mountains. Today, you are too arrogant. The Earth Dragon King is battling you and yet, you have the energy to care about others?"

"Since you voluntarily gave out your avatar and your magic treasure, then don't blame us for taking it and humiliating you!"

The other demons laughed coldly in their hearts. However, the Earth Dragon King's eyes shone with icy-coldness and fiery rage. It was an anger an emperor would exhibit upon being snubbed.

The Earth Dragon King said nothing as his huge dragon claws came slashing down at Lin Feng. With that claw, it was as if he sought to catch the entire universe in his hands.

The terrifying power in the claws could not only destroy a single star; it seemed possible of breaking the Milky Way into half.

That was one of the powers of the Immemorial Celestial Dragons, the most powerful physical strength of all demons!

Other than a Heaven-Carrying Ant, an Immemorial Divine Elephant, a pure-blooded Xuanwu and a Heavenly Demon Ape, no other demon could match it!

Faced with this claw, Lin Feng nodded his head slightly leisurely and said, "Extraordinary, indeed."

At the same time, he opened his palm and a tiny seal appeared.

The Earth Dragon King saw the seal and his heart missed a beat. Then, he heard a soft chuckle from Lin Feng who raised his hand and sent the seal flying!

Chapter 952: The Prize for Ascending into the Immortal Soul Stage!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Golden Cicada had no choice but to look on as the Earth Dragon King challenged Lin Feng one-on-one.

Mount Yujing remained in the void surrounding the Divine Lands and did not come together with Lin Feng to the Barren Expanses. Lin Feng would not release the seal of the Heaven-Destroying Sword unless it was absolutely necessary to do so. However, that was Lin Feng's plans. The Golden Cicada, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Heavenly Master Grand Sage and the other demons had no idea.

To the demons, they naturally factored the Heaven-Destroying Sword into consideration when they surrounded and attacked Lin Feng.

Hence, with the power that Lin Feng currently exhibited, there was a vast difference between taking turns to fight Lin Feng and attacking him at the same time.

However, what surprised the demons was the fact that Lin Feng was even more arrogant and wild than the Earth Dragon King.

The Earth Dragon King sought to fight him one-on-one, but Lin Feng completely disregarded it. while he fought with the Earth Dragon King, he still had the time and energy to use the Thunder Dragon Avatar and the Saros Magical Tree to stop the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade from escaping.

"You picked on my disciples and now, you want to leave? Do you think it's that easy?" said Lin Feng calmly. "I have no quarrel with you. Stay there obediently and afterwards, my disciples will have a word with you."

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage was both angered and shocked. All he saw was Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar and his Saros Magical Tree flying towards him and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade.

However, what delighted the Lu Yuan Grand Sage was the fact that the Xiangliu Grand Sage and the Azure Sky Dragon King, both of whom were itching to move, acted. They blocked the Thunder Dragon Avatar and the Saros Magical Tree.

"Eh, a single Earth Dragon King is not enough for you. You still want to involve other others in the battle, how stupid can you get?" thought the Lu Yuan Grand Sage. "Doing so will just further infuriate the Earth Dragon King."

Just as the Lu Yuan Grand Sage predicted, the Earth Dragon King was beyond angry as his attacks became even more ferocious as he rushed towards Lin Feng.

In the next instance, when Lin Feng revealed the tiny seal. The Lu Yuan Grand Sage's face changed rapidly.

He did not know what it was but he knew that it was no good for him. Fortunately, the tiny seal's target was the Earth Dragon King. Even so, from afar, the Lu Yuan Grand Sage could feel his heart growing cold and his body getting paralyzed by fear.

Other demons too felt an ominous feeling when they noticed the tiny seal in Lin Feng's hand.

Every demon present was at least in the Undying Demon Soul Third Level. Their perceptive abilities were all razor-sharp.

Every single demon there normally traversed through the land fearlessly. Right now, all of them felt a sense of danger from the tiny seal. Their hearts told them to get as far away from it as possible,

Even the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Heavenly Master Grand Sage, the Golden Cicada and the Earth Dragon King, all of whom were in the Vipralopa stage, felt the color draining from their faces. "What exactly is that? Why does it cause such a foreboding feeling?"

The monkey, who had been nonchalant all the way, suddenly stood upright as he arched his eyebrows and stared at the seal on Lin Feng's palm.

His gaze flashed and realized that the original souls of the Saros Magical Tree and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade, Saros and Cang Heaven Blade, did not react. However, when Lin Feng's own Thunder Dragon Avatar saw the seal, a look of apprehensiveness crossed its face.

"Is it only effective against us demons…" The monkey scratched the back of his head. "I have never seen this thing before and I have never heard of it. What exactly is it?"

All the demons by the side felt uncomfortable. The Earth Dragon King, who was directly opposite Lin Feng, was even more uncomfortable.

He had rarely felt this ominous feeling after he entered the Vipralopa Stage.

Some people would withdraw before danger. However, the Earth Dragon King's choice was to charge ahead. By increasing his own strength, he sought to destroy this source of danger!

The Earth Dragon slashed towards Lin Feng with his claws as he roared.

Dragon Emperor's Celestial Roar!

As the Earth Dragon King roared, there appeared to be only one voice left in the universe, and that's the roar of a dragon.

Even the chirping of cicadas from the Golden Cicada quietened down till the point where it could not be heard.

The dragon roar, which reverberated through the heavens, made even the Lu Yuan Grand Sage, the Cang Heaven Spell Blade and the Yu'ao Dragon King uncomfortable. They felt as if their demon souls and original soul were about to be shattered.

The Xiangliu Grand Sage too trembled slightly. A dark red light could be seen in the pores of his nine, terrifying faces.

The White Tiger Grand Sage, the Azure Sky Dragon King and the Golden Roc Grand Sage all had serious expressions on their faces as they used their demon powers to resist.

Only the monkey, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Heavenly Master Grand Sage could retain their calm. This was because they were not the intended target of the Earth Dragon King's Dragon Emperor Celestial Roar. Furthermore, they were far from the battle. If not, they could would have to do something.

The Earth Dragon King's entire body glowed with golden light as he launched his two-pronged attack against Lin Feng.

However, before he managed to use the Dragon Emperor Celestial Roar, Lin Feng already started to use the little seal in his hand.

He flipped the seal and it pointed straight at the Earth Dragon King. On the bottom of the seal, there was an arcane, exquisite carving that was impossible to recognize. From the carving, a single ray of light shot out and landed on his forehead.

The Earth Dragon King opened his eyes. He was both enraged and shocked. While he thought of escaping, Lin Feng activated his Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell at the same time he used the seal. This caught the Earth Dragon King in place.

Originally, when the Earth Dragon King activated his true form, he would have the ability to escape Lin Feng's Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell.

However, right now, he was caught. As the light from the seal approached him, the Earth Dragon King unconsciously lifted his claws to block his forehead. When it touched him, the light carved an odd engraving on his claw.

Right afterwards, Lin Feng then lifted the tiny seal, which turned into dust in mid-air and disappeared.

However, the Earth Dragon King was not happy, because he realized that at that moment, an odd power erupted from the carving on his claw. This odd power trembled and forcibly separated his demon soul from his real body!

In that instant, the Earth Dragon King lost control over his true form!

At first, he could control his true form easily. However, right now, the Earth Dragon King discovered to his horror that it was as if someone had amputated his limbs, gave him a prosthetic limb and then removed the prosthetic limb.

"How can this be?!" The Earth Dragon King thought in panic. He quickly regained his senses and thought, "This feeling, it was as if someone had separated my link with the Grand Celestial World!"

Unlike humans, when demons cultivated, they did so according to the will of heavens. They sought to be integrated together with the heaven and earth and then bring its essence into their bodies. Afterwards, they sought to replace the heaven and earth, fusing completely with it.

For a demon like the Earth Dragon King, who was in his Vipralopa stage, his connection with the heaven and earth had reached an extremely deep level.

While the Earth Dragon King was powerful, this did not mean that he looked down on everything. Let's not talk about anyone else first, for the Origins Dragon King in the Black Sea was already more powerful than him.

Many thousand years ago, the Hades Tribe of the Barren Expanses too possessed many strong demons, with the most powerful one of all being the Hades Emperor.

The Earth Dragon King could still accept the fact that someone was able to defeat him. However, the fact that someone could cut off his ties with the Grand Celestial World and disconnect his connection with his true form was hair-raisingly horrifying to him.

While he could see that Lin Feng's seal was a one-time use item, the Earth Dragon King had never seen something like this before. This made him even more scared.

When he saw that the Earth Dragon King's demon soul and true form were separated, Lin Feng smiled and shook his head and thought, "It's really quite useful."

After Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao ascended into the Immortal Soul stage, other than giving everyone a chance at upgrading their magic treasures, the system also rewarded Lin Feng with a special gift after more than half of his immediate disciples reached the Immortal Soul stage.

The Heaven-Slicing Seal could cut off its target connection to the Grand Celestial World. The length of its effect depended on the mastery level of its target. It was a one-use item and could not be regenerated.

There were upgraded versions of it too, some of which could be cast over a wide area over multiple targets. However, that was only a variation of the Heaven-Slicing Seal's properties. Lin Feng was still trying to figure out how he could obtain more of it.

However, he was interested in both the Heaven-Slicing Seal and the Dimensional Seal. Both were extremely effective against demons.

Of course, it could cut off an Immortal Soul stage cultivator's connection with the heaven and earth. However, that would have been wasted.

Against demons, as long as the time was right, it could completely turn the battle around.

Like right now, when the Vipralopa Stage demon, the Earth Dragon King, was dealt with this blow he too found it a deeply unpleasant feeling. Not only was his true form sealed, even his demonic powers were affected.

When the other demons saw this, all of them were shocked. They looked even more apprehensively at Lin Feng.

The monkey and the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage could both clearly see the situation the Earth Dragon King was in. However, no one knew how many of these seals did Lin Feng possess.

The Azure Sky Dragon King was shocked as he quickly beat the Thunder Dragon Avatar back and rushed to the Earth Dragon King's side to protect him. Now, he could not be bothered about the pride of the Earth Dragon King.

The eyes of the monkey, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Heavenly Master Grand Sage flashed as they thought, "The Earth Dragon King's demon soul and body are not injured. However, his connection was just temporarily cut off. As time passed, he would slowly recover, but how long would that take…"

At the same time, the Golden Cicada and White Tiger Grand Sage rushed towards Lin Feng. The Golden Cicada wanted the same thing as the monkey.

While they were uncomfortable with the Earth Dragon King's arrogant ways, the Golden Cicada depended on him for his own survival. Everyone else could enjoy the battle except him, as he could not afford to allow Lin Feng to beat the Earth Dragon King.

As long as he held Lin Feng off long enough, the Earth Dragon King would gradually recover. After he experienced such a major setback, the Golden Cicada was sure that the Earth Dragon King would change his mindset.

As to whether Lin Feng had another seal, the Golden Cicada could only bet on his luck. If Lin Feng did possess another seal, he could only hope that his Unique Gift would be powerful enough to hold Lin Feng off.

The White Tiger Grand Sage too was arrogant. He would not run from a fight without at least taking part in it first.

Lin Feng looked at the demons that were charging towards him and smiled slightly. His form flashed as he used his Celestial Sect Teleportation Technique. Instead of retreating, he advanced forward. Soon, he was before the Xiangliu Grand Sage and the Saros Magical Tree!

Chapter 953: You Have Ended Your Path

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Xiangliu Grand Sage was unable to overcome the Saros Magical Tree's defenses. All he could do was to keep it busy temporarily. However, at that moment, the Saros Magical Tree once again started to shine with light, trapping the Xiangliu Grand Sage.

When he saw Lin Feng take out his Heaven-Slicing Seal, the Xiangliu Grand Sage's heart missed a beat.

After he saw the Earth Dragon King getting trapped by it, the uneasy feeling in the Xiangliu Grand Sage's heart reached new heights.

Lin Feng had an abundance of methods. While the monkey, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Heavenly Master Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage surrounded him, Lin Feng maintained a calm demeanor as he battled vehemently, showing off his confidence in himself.

This struck fear in the Xiangliu Grand Sage's heart. The Golden Cicada asked him for help and he jumped at the chance to benefit from both the Golden Cicada and Lin Feng.

As long as they managed to hold Lin Feng off long enough, the other demons would naturally join the attack. By then, the situation would have completely changed.

However, the situation right now deviated completely from the plan as the Xiangliu Grand Sage contemplated retreat. Unlike the White Tiger Grand Sage, he was not as arrogant and he was more flexible in terms of his thinking.

Particularly since he had already benefited much from the Golden Cicada.

The Xiangliu Grand Sage knew that by leaving like this, he would inadvertently offend the Golden Cicada. However, he realized that after this battle, if the Master of the Celestial Sect still had enough energy, he would continue chasing after the Golden Cicada.

Here, the Xiangliu Grand Sage's desire to flee became unstoppable. However, before he could do anything, Lin Feng appeared before him.

The Xiangliu Grand Sage cursed in his heart. Now, he could not run off.

He did not dare to harbor any hope for a lucky break. A star started to appear on all nine of his human faces. The Xiangliu Grand Sage's body surged with demon powers as all nine of his human faces opened their mouths to spew out a black, poisonous water

Wherever the poisonous water touched, the shapeless void appeared to solidify as if it had been coated by a layer of black. Compared to the black of the void around, it appeared desolate and barren, devoid of all forms of life.

Lin Feng's expression did not change. He gently tapped with his left hand and the Original Heaven and Earth Splitting Mantra activated. The earth was destroyed and the Four Appearances were reformed. One clear and one cloudy streams of gas flowed out separately. It appeared to re-form the heaven and earth and brought about the growth of all beings.

The Xiangliu Grand Sage's poisonous water was a destructive attack. It decayed whatever it touched. However, when Lin Feng used his Original Heaven and Earth Splitting Mantra to suppress it, it was no longer able to create any damage.

Following that, Lin Feng's right finger shone with a sword radiance as a stream of Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi rushed towards the Xiangliu Grand Sage.

All nine of his human faces roared in anger as his gigantic, serpent body writhed, destroying the void around him. His black, poisonous water continued to spread. Shockingly, it turned the void into a black swamp.

At the same time, the Golden Cicada and the White Tiger Grand Sage were already behind Lin Feng.

The Golden Cicada revealed his true form. A giant black cicada brimming with golden light appeared before everyone. As its wings buzzed, a deafening cry of a cicada could be heard.

However, when the Golden Cicada revealed his true form, it was different from other demons. The gray-robed young monk did not disappear. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the head of the cicada. His hands no longer formed a Buddhist gesture but instead, a more ancient, stranger one.

Circles of golden light started to spread from the Golden Cicada's body as it shook the void. Wherever it passed, everything, including the spiritual energy present in all creations, started to decay and perish.

The White Tiger Grand Sage too revealed his true form. His form was not big and he was about the size of an ordinary tiger. His entire body was silvery white and shone with a faint golden light. He felt deathly cold.

"Roar!" The White Tiger Grand Sage roared and the stars in the galaxy trembled slightly. In the empty, black space, stars that were impossibly far apart started to shine with ever-growing intensity.

In the next instant, comets rained down towards Lin Feng, bombarding him. This was the Unique Gift of the White Tiger, Comet of the White Tiger.

The White Tiger was only a small step away from completing his Cardinal Tribulations. However, when he revealed his true form and then attacked with his Unique Gift, it was no weaker compared to the Comet of the White Tiger and the monkey had used when he transformed into the White Tiger.

Faced with attacks on all fronts, Lin Feng's hand turned non-stop as he continued to point the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi in his right hand at the Xiangliu Grand Sage.

In his left hand, he performed spell gestures non-stop as a huge amount of spell formations appeared in his palm. Finally, they congregate together and turned into a huge spell formation that blocked the Golden Cicada.

Life and death, reality and illusion, heaven and earth, the fleeting and the permanent, light and darkness and Yin and Yang all began to spread apart as the Six Forms of Creation and Destruction appeared together. It was as if they had formed an entirely new world.

At that moment, one black and one white rays of holy light appeared on the spell formation.

Lin Feng's Holy Light of Creation combined with his Two Elements of Creation Spell. Enveloping the heaven and earth, he turned the world before everyone into a black and white one.

When one looked far into the world, there was nothing but black and white light. In the black and white light, a figure stood like a god.

The Golden Cicada's expression did not change but the wings of the giant cicada flapped non-stop as he rushed towards the sea of black and white light. The chirping of the cicadas grew even louder.

"Six Changes of the Three Spells, Nullifying of the Two Extremes, execute!" Lin Feng was expressionless as he gently tapped with his left hand. The Two Elements of Creation Spell, which turned into a giant spell formation, suddenly changed. Other than the Endless Extremes and Polar Reversal, it was the third spell of the Six Changes of the Three Spells, the Nullifying of the Two Extremes!

This was the most powerful of the Six Changes of the Three Spells, which no one had ever seen before.

It was not because Lin Feng did not know how to use it earlier. If he really were to use the Two Elements of Creation Formation to execute this change, then it would destroy every single precious treasure that was used to cast the spell formation, such as the Netherworld Purple Crystal, Mingdu Skeleton, the Heaven-Reflecting Stone and the Instant Heavenly Gravel along with the formation map itself.

Right now, Lin Feng used his own mana to cast this powerful formation and activate this terrifying attack before everyone. While its power was slightly weaker, it nonetheless possessed an apocalyptic power.

In particular, Lin Feng himself used his black and white Holy Light of Creation to further strengthen the Two Elements of Creation Spell. Light from the Nullifying of the Two Extremes started to appear slowly, making everyone's heart palpitate in fear.

Even the monkey, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Heavenly Master Grand Sage were frightened.

The Golden Cicada arched his eyebrows as he stared at it and took in a deep breath. His two palms performed another gesture and the giant cicada trembled violently for a while before splitting apart.

The giant cicada of innumerable length suddenly disintegrated and turned into millions of tiny black dots.

Looking at it carefully, every single black dot was a tiny, black cicada. Every cicada shone with a golden light.

Millions of cicadas flapped their wings together and the chirping sound from them was even more terrifying than just now. A limitless, decaying aura began to spread, making the spectators of this battle arch their eyebrows.

In the heaven and earth now, only two things existed. One was an infinite golden light and the other was the deafening chirping of cicadas.

The two sides clashed. Neither wanted to give way.

At the same time, Lin Feng sent a thought out and Saros fused into the Saros Magical Tree. The giant tree branches slowly shrunk and the giant tree slowly turned into a tiny tree branch.

This tree branch lay horizontally over Lin Feng's head and the dark golden light retracted back into its body and stopped shining. All there was left right now was a layer of faint, golden light as it turned non-stop.

The White Tiger Grand Sage's barrage of comets was completely blocked by the Saros Magical Tree. While the tree branch shook non-stop, it did not give way as it stopped the comets completely.

As one approached the Saros Magical Tree, the void would twist and turn. The gigantic stars would turn into a single dot of light. When a single star touched the tree branch, it bounced off. When it was far away, it would regain its gigantic size.

The White Tiger Grand Sage's ice-cold pupils shrunk. A Mahayana level magic treasure could act on its own and did not require anyone to help trigger its power. However, if an Immortal Soul Third Level cultivator or an even more powerful cultivator were to direct it and the human and treasure were to come together, the Mahayana level magic treasure would be able to become even more powerful as the two of them combined their strength.

Even so, the Saros Magical Tree's defensive powers struck fear and awe in the White Tiger Grand Sage's heart.

While Lin Feng was controlling the Saros Magical Tree, it was evident that his concentration was limited. At the same time he was controlling the Saros Magical Tree to block the White Tiger Grand Sage, he was still fighting with the Golden Cicada.

"In the Lingyuan Mountains, after the Nine Netherworld Ten-sided Dual Garbhadhātu incident, if you had gone your separate ways from the Golden Cicada, perhaps you would have been able to enjoy a few more days of peace," said Lin Feng as he stared at the Xiangliu Grand Sage. "However, by coming together with him, you have ended your path."

While the Two Elements of Creation Spell trapped the Golden Cicada and the Saros Magical Tree blocked the White Tiger Grand Sage, the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi in Lin Feng's hands moved non-stop as it charged towards the Xiangliu Grand Sage.

The blurred sword radiance brimmed with a terrifying, heaven-destroying aura that appeared capable of breaking every single mantra. Wherever the sword radiance, it destroyed. Even the Xiangliu Gran Sage's all-corrupting poisonous, black water was unable to resist it as the humongous black swamp was forcibly torn apart.

The poisonous, black water that seemed capable of killing everything was being wiped out by the terrifying sword radiance.

As the Xiangliu Grand Sage watched the sword radiance coming towards him, his nine human faces roared, and black, poisonous blood poured from all of his pores.

One of the human faces exploded and turned into a puddle of black blood, which gurgled in the void as if it sought to corrode a hole through the dimension to escape.

When the black blood finally dissipated, there was a path that led into another world.

It was a gray, desolate world. Wherever one looked, it was a pitch-black swamp without any trace of life. Black fog churned above the surface of the black swamp. The smell of death was noxious.

It was the home of the Xiangliu Grand Sage, the Black Loch World. The Xiangliu Grand Sage sacrificed one of his heads and a luminary to forcibly open an inter-world passage back home.

Black water surged from the Black Loch World as it sought to hold onto him and help him escape.

Lin Feng shook his head with a smile.

Then, the Xiangliu Grand Sage noticed that the Thunder Dragon Avatar, which caught the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and was freed from the Azure Sky Dragon King, turned its head.

A white Dragon Awe Auspicious Cloud appeared and the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell covered the Xiangliu Grand Sage's body.

Chapter 954: The Ominous Feeling in the Golden Cicada's Heart

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell enveloped the Xiangliu Grand Sage. As he stared helplessly, the originally-open inter-world passage into the Black Loch World closed once more and the gurgling, black water that swirled around his body disappeared too.

The Fences of the Heavens around the Xiangliu Grand Sage sought to not only block him off, but also to seal him completely off from the outside world.

The mystical and power energy trapped the Xiangliu Grand Sage, preventing him from using his powers. Likewise, his demon powers were weakened slowly, layer by layer.

Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar's powers could not be compared to his own. However, the Xiangliu Grand Sage was not the monkey.

If Lin Feng himself used the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell, even the monkey would be unable to escape from it and all he could do was to await his death.

If it were the White Tiger Grand Sage or the Azure Sky Dragon King who was trapped by the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell cast by the Thunder Dragon Avatar, they too would have to reveal their true forms to escape. If not, they would meet with the same fate.

Hence, regardless whether it was the White Tiger Grand Sage or the Azure Sky Dragon King, both were close to completing their Cardinal Tribulations and their actual powers were similar. However, the Xiangliu Grand Sage had just begun with his Cardinal Tribulations.

Hence, as he was trapped by Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar's Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell, the Xiangliu Grand Sage was unable to escape even if he had already revealed his true form.

Trapped by the power of heaven and earth and completely unable to summon the power of heaven and earth, the Xiangliu Grand Sage could only watch helplessly as the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi approached him!

"No!" The remaining eight human faces of the Xiangliu Grand Sage all cried out desperately. In the next instant, the terrifyingly violent sword radiance sliced them clean from his huge body.

Black, poisonous blood spurted out from the Xiangliu Grand Sage's body as they contaminated an entire patch of the void.

The Xiangliu Tribe possessed the deadliest forms of poison, particularly the one found in their blood. In the Antiquity Age, a Vipralopa stage Xiangliu was killed. After his death, the poison from his blood turned an entire patch in the Barren Expanses barren. Even after many years, the poison was not completely removed.

Right now, he had lost all hopes of surviving. All he could do was to injure or kill Lin Feng.

This was the second powerful demon to die at the hands of Lin Feng after the Zu'e Grand Sage. The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Heavenly Master Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage all furrowed their brows tightly. However, they did nothing.

At this point, Lin Feng still had strength left. Joining the fight now would not benefit them but instead, others may benefit from their participation in the battle.

The Earth Dragon King was a prime example.

Other than the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and company, even the monkey, who completely did not care about the Xiangliu Grand Sage, could not help but to sweep his gaze over the Earth Dragon King.

Right now, the Earth Dragon King's connection between his soul and physical body was separated by Lin Feng's Heaven-Slicing Seal. He had lost control over this true form.

With his Vipralopa Stage cultivation and the body of an Immemorial Celestial Dragon, he was a desirable prize for all. The notion of capturing him was tempting enough for many to attempt.

To the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and company, the best option would be for them to encircle and kill Lin Feng. If they could not do that, then they should attempt to profit off the Golden Cicada and the Earth Dragon King. Their upcoming actions depended entirely on the battle.

The few demons did nothing, but they continued to fixate their gazes on the battle as they waited for the right moment to strike.

Right now, after Lin Feng struck the Xiangliu Grand Sage, the Golden Cicada acted too.

Innumerable black cicadas, covering the heaven and earth and turning into an endless sea of black insects, crashed against Lin Feng's Nullifying of the Two Extremities attack, which was further strengthened by his Holy Light of Creation.

In the center of the sea of cicadas, one could hear the Golden Cicada sigh.

In that sigh, the millions of black cicadas suddenly changed form. The many cicadas came together and turned into black, shimmering light. It was as if they had all turned into an ocean.

In this ocean, there was no sign of life. Silent and quiet, there was only the feeling that something terrifying existed within.

The deafening chirping of the cicadas quietened down and in that moment, those present were disoriented as the cacophony turned into a deathly silence.

However, the destructive power grew even larger, striking fear into the hearts of everyone.

The silent sea lay on top of Lin Feng's Nullifying of the Two Extremes. Originally, the Nullifying of the Two Extremes expanded non-stop as it devoured everything and sought to turn everything into an empty light. Faced with this black sea, however, the light was continuously destroyed and reduced to nothing itself.

Regardless whether it was Lin Feng, who was facing the black sea, or the monkey, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Heavenly Master Grand Sage or the Golden Roc Grand Sage and even the frantic Earth Dragon King, they were all stunned by this terrifying light.

"Good!" Many of them cried out in unison.

Lin Feng stared at the silent sea and colored lights shone in his eyes as he thought, "The black sea before is me is formed from his demon powers. It simulated the waves of the Death Sea. While it isn't the waves of the Death Sea exactly, it is still quite similar."

"The efforts of the Golden Cicada are not wasted. He really did manage to uncover some secrets of the Death Sea."

While their paths were different, both human cultivators and demons sought to improve themselves so they could try and pass the Three Tribulations of Destiny.

Legend had it that the collapse of destiny and the apocalypse were split into three segments. The first was known as the Alpha Destiny Tribulations where the Five Decays of Heaven and Man would take place.

Those who survived the first segment could be said to have passed the Vipralopa stage.

The second tribulation of the Three Tribulations of Destiny was known as The Great Calamity.

Experiencing the First Tribulation would require one to communicate with the mysterious Death Sea, one of the Grand Celestial Seven Seas. Once there was connection, then one would be able to bring about the Alpha Destiny Tribulations on himself.

Experiencing the Second Tribulation required one to establish a connection with the Death Sea too. However, this time, one would bring about the Great Wave of the Death Sea upon oneself!

The Great Wave of the Death Sea was known as The Great Calamity!

Right now, the Golden Cicada had revealed his true form and sought to use all his powers in this fight. Hence, he decided to play his ace card, which was a simulation of the Great Wave of the Death Sea.

The silent, terrifying and absolute power completely suppressed Lin Feng's Two Elements of Creation Spell. If not for his Holy Light of Creation, it was likely that his Nullifying of the Two Extremes attack would have been destroyed.

Even now, it was being beaten back.

"Master Lin's spells are special and powerful. Even with the Alpha Destiny Tribulation, I won't be able to approach you. Helpless as I am, I have no choice but to use this incomplete method on you. May you advise me on it," said the Golden Cicada's calm voice from the depths of the black sea.

Before Lin Feng, there was the Golden Cicada's black sea. Behind him, the Xiangliu Grand Sage writhed about in his death throes. However, Lin Feng arched his eyebrows and asked, "Master Golden Cicada's move is indeed powerful. However, it is taxing on you too, right?"

The Golden Cicada did not reply. As the waves in the black sea surged, an apocalyptic power could be felt coming from it. However, there was no sound.

In the sea, it was as if everything was about to be extinguished and reduced to nothing, even sound itself.

However, the Golden Cicada was unable to relax, because when he was faced with his terrifying attack, Lin Feng did not use his Celestial Sect Teleportation Technique but instead, he used his Two Elements of Creation Spell. Once more, he casted another giant spell formation to fight against the Golden Cicada's black ocean.

As the spell formation approached destruction, a look of satisfaction crossed Lin Feng's face.

In no rush, he smiled and said, "Indeed, the disparity may be wide, but like your Nine Netherworld Ten-sided Dual Garbhadhātu, it is an amalgamation of your Buddhist and demon powers."

"This attack of yours is indeed extraordinary. However, it is not the real Great Wave of the Death Sea, The Great Calamity."

As Lin Feng said that, he once against another Two Elements of Creation Formation to block the Golden Cicada. As he waved his two hands, the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi sliced at the Xiangliu Grand Sage's poison that was spraying about.

It then ceased its attack against the Xiangliu Grand Sage but instead, turned towards the monkey, who was spectating the fight, and attacked!

This move shocked everyone!

At this time, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Heavenly Master Grand Sage, the Earth Dragon King and the Golden Roc Grand Sage were all shocked. "What exactly is the Master of the Celestial Sect doing? Is he really his arrogant?"

The monkey rarely appeared in the Barren Expanses. However, the name of the Ten Thousand Mantra Ape was still loud and famous like thunder. Right now, he revealed his true form to battle against Lin Feng, which further established his credentials. Doing so made everyone aware that the monkey was indeed more powerful than what he had rumored to be.

It could even be said that if one wished to identify the most powerful demon present, it would be the monkey.

Without considering the problem of the Alpha Destiny Tribulation, he was much stronger than the Earth Dragon King and the Golden Cicada in terms of actual battling abilities.

When Lin Feng caught the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade, that was still acceptable. However, when he went up to provoke the monkey, it was incomprehensible to many.

Even the monkey himself was shocked. He stared at Lin Feng's oncoming Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi as his gaze flashed non-stop. He opened his mouth to reveal his white teeth as the hairs on his body stood.

The Golden Cicada too was confused. He was the clearest about the relationship between the monkey and him.

The monkey was never allies with him, but enemies. Even though the Nine Infants Grand Sage was captured by Lin Feng and the monkey wanted him back, it was more because of his value against the Golden Cicada.

Right now, the only demon that could possibly help Lin Feng out was the monkey.

The Golden Cicada believed that had he not possessed the Golden Hoop Incantation, the monkey would have joined Lin Feng in beating him up.

"The Golden Hoop Incantation…" Here, the Golden Cicada's heart missed a beat as an ominous feeling rose.

Then, he realized that Lin Feng's Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi shone with a few, bizarre light. The Golden Cicada was extremely familiar with this light. When he saw it, he lost his usual calm.

As he attacked, he shouted at the White Tiger Grand Sage and the Azure Sky Dragon King, "Stop him!"

At that time, the monkey stared at the odd light and his mouth grew wider and wider. He smiled like a maniac.

Then, he did something that no one seemed to understand. Faced with Lin Feng's brutally powerful Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi, he treated it was if it was nothing. He did not try to defend himself against it, much less escape from it.

Chapter 955: Do You Think You Can Leave Without Leaving Anything Behind?

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

As Lin Feng exchanged blows with the Golden Cicada, he sent a blast of his Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi at the monkey.

Unlike before, not only was there Lin Feng's own black and white Holy Light of Creation, there was also a few streaks of odd light. The odd light was strange and unpredictable. Not only did it possess a powerful demon power, it also contained profound, Buddhist wisdom.

In the light, one could see a shadow trembling slightly. Under the shine of the light, an illusory world, twisting about bizarrely, appeared.

On one side, it was Nirvana. Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Gatés, Samaneras sat and chanted Buddhist scriptures.

On the other side, there was a humongous demon monkey formed from demon aura. It raised its head to roar into the sky brazenly. Violence and destruction emitted from its body.

The two sides were clearly delineated but at the same time, they was also one, singular world. On one half, there was Buddhist chanting and on the other side, demons roared. It was both strange, unpredictable and mystic.

However, when the Golden Cicada saw that ray of light, his heart sank because he knew very clearly what it was.

That power came from the same source as his Nine Netherworld Ten-sided Dual Garbhadhātu!

While it was faint and slightly different, it was definitely from the Nine Netherworld Ten-sided Dual Garbhadhātu.

As the person who was the most familiar with this mantra, the Golden Cicada thought about it slightly and understood how it came about. When he used his Nine Netherworld Ten-sided Dual Garbhadhātu to escape from Lin Feng, Lin Feng probably took a few, scattered traces of it.

After Lin Feng and the Golden Cicada exchanged a few blows, coupled with the fact that Lin Feng had captured the Nine Infants Grand Sage himself and his Buddhist avatar, he was probably able to uncover some of the Golden Cicada's powers and secrets. After he obtained a few traces of light from the Nine Netherworld Ten-sided Dual Garbhadhātu and pondered over it, he was probably able to obtain its teachings.

As he did not have the Lingyuan Mountains with him, nor the odd, round plate the Golden Cicada used to cast his spell, he was unable to form the true Nine Netherworld Ten-sided Dual Garbhadhātu. The sword radiance on his Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi was probably only superficially like the it.

However, after that move, the radiance disappeared completely. Lin Feng was probably unable to pull something like that off once more.

However, while this scene frightened the Golden Cicada, it made someone else extremely happy.

The monkey stared at the sword radiance and after being stunned by it for a short while, a smile crossed his face. He extended his claw to pull of a strand of hair from his body, which then revealed itself to be a Golden Hoop!

The Golden Hoop shook violently and gave off bright, shining radiance. The power within it was exactly identical to the Nine Netherworld Ten-sided Dual Garbhadhātu, as well as the power placed on Lin Feng's Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi!

"Hehe, it really is the Golden Hoop Incantation…" Lin Feng smiled slightly. Earlier, as he tried to deduce the powers from the Nine Netherworld Ten-sided Dual Garbhadhātu, he realized that it was similar to power he felt on the monkey. Yet, it did not appear to come from the monkey himself.

He then wondered how the Golden Cicada was able to overpower the monkey, who was much stronger than the Golden Cicada.

The Golden Cicada sought to stop them, but there was no way Lin Feng and the monkey would allow him to do that.

Faced with Lin Feng's Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi, the monkey did not attempt to hide or evade. Instead, he rushed straight up to it!

The odd, powerful light on the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi sliced accurately at the Golden Hoop around the monkey's forehead.

The light on the Golden Hoop shone intensely and brightly. However, it was slowly removed by the strange light on top of the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi. Then, black and white light flashed and the blurred, Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi landed on the Golden Hoop!

An infinite amount of bright light burst forth from the Golden Hoop and projected an illusory shadow in the void.

The light then split into two. On one side, there was an enormous Buddha that sat in the Lotus position in the center of a lotus. The Buddha brimmed with a destructive force. Then, he pointed to the sky and brought his finger down. In that finger, one could feel a supreme, invincible power.

On the other side, there was a white ape that stood upright like a human. Its two eyes were blue, and it looked ordinary. However, the power and awe it gave off were enough more fearsome than the Buddha himself. While the ape stood in the void, the void did not appear to belong to that place. It was deep, profound and unfathomable.

The demon ape and the Buddha appeared briefly in the void before disappearing. In the short time that it was present, everyone, including Lin Feng, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the rest, all felt a tremor in their hearts.

When the light faded, there was a clear snap in the air as if something broke.

"Finally, finally… finally!"

In that moment, the only sound in the void was the monkey mumbling to himself. The Golden Hoop around his head had a hole. It was broken.

The monkey extended his claws and took the Golden Hoop as it forcibly snapped it in half. It then fell from his head.

At that moment, the Golden Cicada, who was in the form of the giant, black ocean, sighed. The ocean retreated, and he turned back into a giant cicada. He sought to open the void and escape.

At that moment, the entire void was filled with the rage-induced roar of the monkey. "Golden! Cicada!"

"Where do you think you are going!"

His form changed and he turned into the shape of a blue-eyed, white bodied ape. Unlike the time when he fought with Lin Feng, this time, he revealed his Vipralopa stage true form.

A powerful, physical strength reverberated in the void. He used the Great Spiritual King Hand, which brimmed with enough strength to tear apart the heaven.

His ears twitched and a Malleable Holy Metal appeared in his hand. He heaved and the Malleable Holy Metal turned into a gigantic, heaven-reaching pillar.

The ape wielded the Malleable Holy Metal and rushed into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he was before the Golden Cicada. With one blow, he smashed down on him!

When the monkey jumped, the void turned into nothing. As he smashed down with his weapon, the powerful energy from it completely destroyed that patch of void, destroying its ability to change with the void!

The Golden Cicada, in his true form, bore the brunt of the blow. Light shone in all direction and a ray of golden light sped out from his form as it disappeared into the void.

The Golden Cicada's form gradually as if he was shedding his shell. This was his Golden Cicada Shell Escaping Technique.

Without the Golden Hoop Incantation, the monkey joined forces with Lin Feng. If he had not cut off the Golden Cicada's escape path, then his plan to escape might have succeeded.

Even if Lin Feng did not join forces together with the monkey to beat him, a lot of pressure had been alleviated from Lin Feng himself already. This would free up a considerable amount of energy for him and hence, the other demons such as the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage would not dare to act easily. For the Golden Cicada, there was no point in him battling against both Lin Feng and the monkey, even if it was a fight to the death.

Now, with the situation being as such, the appeal of the Golden Cicada as a target to the other demons such as the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was even bigger than Lin Feng.

Hence, the Golden Cicada had no desire to exchange a single blow against the monkey. Immediately, he tried to escape.

However, how would Lin Feng simply let him go? He stared at the disappearing gold light and said quietly, "Golden Cicada, didn't you hope that I will go to the Barren Expanses? Now that I'm here, do you think you can leave without leaving anything behind?"

The Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell activated once more, trapping the Golden Cicada. At that moment, his form trembled slightly. Before he could break through the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell, the monkey whacked him once more!

Trapped by the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell, the Golden Cicada was unable to use his Golden Cicada Shell Escaping Technique. As the monkey whacked him, his gigantic cicada form split open and turned into millions of small, black cicadas.

Many of these small, black cicadas died upon impact at the hands of the monkey.

The monkey's two eyes brimmed with cruelty as he curled his lips and said, "You old fool, you cursed me 11 times with the Golden Hoop Incantation. I will return the favor to you in kind with my stick!"

"If you can take it, then our debts shall be settled. If you cannot, then you can only blame yourself for being too weak!"

"That was just the first blow. Come, come, come! You still owe me 10 blows!"

The Golden Cicada sighed, "You are still as brazen as ever."

With that, he said nothing else. He turned into an entire black swarm of cicadas as he flew everywhere in the sky. The monkey's blow might have severely weakened him, but he still freed himself from the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell.

Afterwards, the monkey swept the heavens with his stick once more as he swept all the cicadas in the sky together.

As the situation worsened, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Heavenly Master Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage all felt that something was terribly amiss. All of them fell silent. The change in the battle was beyond their expectations and they had no idea where it was heading.

"The Golden Hoop is the crux to it all. Ultimately, it originated from the combination of powers between the Emperor of Extreme and the Buddha." The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage stared tightly as the Golden Cicada battled the monkey. "The Golden Cicada is devious, and he has hidden relics from the Emperor of Extreme. No wonder his power was able to tremble the Lingyuan Mountains."

"The Golden Hoop that formerly bound the Ten Thousand Mantra Ape was from the outer part of the round plate! He cultivated it to make it work!" The Golden Roc Grand Sage thought. "Looking at the Master of the Celestial Sect, I'm afraid that he had thought of it too. That was how he was able successfully use it today."

"He even predicted that the Ten Thousand Mantra Ape will counterattack…"

The hearts of the few demons sank. The battle before them were beyond their expectations. Furthermore, what made them even more shocked was the fact that the purple-robed young man had planned it all out.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Heavenly Master Grand Sage did not move. Lin Feng was expressionless as he pointed to the Saros Magical Tree. A dark, golden light spread from the tree and activated its offensive mechanisms, allowing it to catch the White Tiger Grand Sage and preventing his escape.

Far away, the Thunder Dragon Avatar, which had already trapped the Lu Yuan Grand Sage, roared and a blast of thunder came from its mouth. This sealed off the escape path of the Cang Heaven Spell Blade and prevented others from coming to his aid.

The gaze of the White Tiger Grand Sage became solemn and icy. He roared into the heavens and called upon the stars. As the bright, radiant stars fell from the heavens, they dimmed. All their powers appeared to be concentrating to a single, central point, which brimmed with an apocalyptic aura.

This was another powerful attack by the White Tiger Grand Sage, other than his Comet of the White Tiger. This attack was the Destruction Death Star attack.

The White Tiger Grand Sage pounced, and starlight shone on his body. A wave of sharp, murderous, destructive energy could be felt. He unleashed the power of his true form, which was more cruel and violent than all the divine weapons in the world.

Chapter 956: You Aren't Qualified If You Are Not in the Vipralopa Stage

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Faced with the White Tiger Grand Sage who pounced towards him, Lin Feng smiled slightly and shook his head. He pointed his finger at the Saros Magical Tree once more. The originally dark gold light from the tree branch suddenly became cloaked by a black and white light.

The Saros Magical Tree, bolstered by the Holy Light of Creation, shook in the void. It may appear small, but once again it was able to block the White Tiger Grand Sage's Destruction Death Star.

At the same time, Lin Feng sent another blast of his Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi, which was also reinforced by the Holy Light of Creation, at the White Tiger Grand Sage, forcing him to retreat.

With that, he stabbed the already-severely injured Xiangliu Grand Sage with another blast of his Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi, making him roar in desperation and pain.

"The Golden Cicada Master said before that while all his disciples may be Undying Demon Soul Third Level demons, none of you is capable of interfering in the matters between me and him," said Lin Feng factually, "That is correct, but it's not precise."

"For my affairs, if you have yet to complete your Cardinal Tribulation, yet to ascend into the Vipralopa stage, or if you simply don't possess that amount of power, then you should not interfere at all."

The blurry sword radiance burst open in the body of the Xiangliu Grand Sage, tearing his serpent body into pieces and sending chunks of flesh and blood flying everywhere.

In the cloud of black blood, one could only hear Lin Feng's voice as he said, "If not, you are simply courting death."

When he said that, regardless whether it was the White Tiger Grand Sage, or the Azure Sky Dragon King who was protecting the Earth Dragon King, all their pupils shrunk slightly.

Even the Lu Yuan Grand Sage, who was battling Lin Feng's Thunder Dragon Avatar, and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade fell silent.

The White Tiger Grand Sage took in a deep breath and his eyes lit up once more. He continued to pounce towards Lin Feng as he gave off an earth-shaking roar. In that roar, he appeared to have summoned up the power of the squalls in the sky, which sliced through the skies.

The originally, shapeless, formless squalls appeared to have turned into power, divine soldiers. They took on shape and form and shone with an eye-dazzling golden light.

The dragon calls upon the cloud while the tiger calls upon the wind. With a tiger roar, he was able to summon the wind.

This was another attack of the White Tiger Tribe, the Nine Heavens Holy Wind Dark Gold Sword Squall!

By cultivating the Nine Heavens Formless Squalls and combining it with one's own demon powers, it would make it both ferocious and brutal. The combination of these powers would summon about a heaven-slaying and earth-splitting wind.

The White Tiger Grand Sage revealed his true form and used all his powers. This squall was vicious and terrifying. In terms of offensive powers, it was even more powerful than the Tiangang Swordmaster's Tiangang Ancient Sword of the Mount Shu Sword Tribe.

Wherever the squall touched, there appeared to be distortion in the pitch-black space. It was as if a painting had been sliced into many pieces and then separated from one another.

"Not bad, you are brave," said Lin Feng as he nodded his head. Then, he shook his head and said, "However, it's useless."

With that, he straightened his right index and middle fingers like a sword and another blast of blurry sword radiance sliced past. As a black and white holy light shone, it completely decimated every single sharp squall in the sky!

It was as if an indestructible, divine sword had sliced the many other swords coming towards it into bits.

Afterwards, Lin Feng slammed his hands together and activated his Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell, enveloping the White Tiger Grand Sage who tried to pounce onto Lin Feng after he had used his Nine Heavens Holy Wind Dark Gold Sword Squall.

When the White Tiger Tribe revealed their true forms, their close combat physical prowess was legendary. For them, it was not just a matter of pure strength, but it was also because their bodies boasted extraordinary endurance. Regardless whether it was attack or defense, they were exceptional either way.

Right now, pinned by Lin Feng's Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell, the White Tiger Grand Sage struggled to break free despite his powers.

In the time it took Lin Feng to open and close his eyes, a colorful light came down like a cover. Where the light touched, time appeared to have stopped.

The White Tiger Grand Sage was now trapped by both the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell and the Heaven Extreme Universal Light. Now, even the thoughts in his mind and his demonic energy came to a standstill.

Lin Feng pointed with his finger once more and another blast of the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi came slicing down.

The White Tiger Grand Sage could feel a strong sense of danger. A look of resolution appeared in his eyes as he opened his blood-red mouth. One could suddenly see flashing starlight in his mouth.

Under the cover of the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell, only Lin Feng, who was battling against him, saw it. This, however, caused a look of surprise to cross his face as he said, "I didn't expect this."

The dots of starlight turned into a light shadow. As the starlight shone, it was as if a star was drawing nearer and nearer and yet, impossibly far at the same time. The change of time and space became hard to track and was unpredictable.

However, to Lin Feng, who had experienced the Ten Crucibles Spell Formation formed from the Mountain and River Void Crucible and the Nine Familial Green Bronze Crucibles of Emptiness, as well as the Ancient Desolate Galaxy, he was able to clearly identify what exactly the light shadow was in the void.

It was the Starry Sea, one of the Grand Celestial Seven Seas!

The Ten Crucibles Spell Formation was only able to call up a projection of the Outer Realm instead of an actual path into the Starry Sea.

However, the dimension of stars the White Tiger Grand Sage revealed was an inter-world passage into the Starry Sea.

The Grand Celestial Seven Seas were the most mysterious places of the Grand Celestial World. Every single one of them was unique in their own, special ways and the way to enter any one of them was different from the other.

The inter-world passage between the Ancient Desolate Galaxy and the outside world was not stable. Instead, the position of its entrance varied.

When the door was opened, one could go through it to enter the Ancient Desolate Galaxy. When the door was closed, it did not mean that its position would remain fixed. Instead, the door could move along with whoever possessed it, just like a magic treasure or an item.

After the last War of the Two Worlds ended, with the fall of the Hades Emperor and the disappearance of the Hades Tribe, the entrance into the Ancient Desolate Galaxy was occupied by the most powerful forces in the demon world.

However, no one would have thought that the White Tiger Grand Sage would be able to possess one such entrance.

Not even the demon of the Barren Expanses knew about this, much less the humans of the Divine Land.

However, this was within reason as well. If he had not kept this secret, even a demon who was past his Cardinal Tribulations Beginner Stage like the White Tiger Grand Sage would be unable to maintain his possession over the door for long.

Today, if he had not been forced into a corner by Lin Feng, it was unlikely that he would reveal this too. If not for the fact that he was cloaked by the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell, the attractiveness of the White Tiger Grand Sage to the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Heavenly Master Grand Sage and the other demons was no less than the Earth Dragon King or the Golden Cicada.

Furthermore, as he was slightly weaker, he may even be of more interest.

The gaze of the White Tiger Grand Sage was icy-cold as a light flashed in his eyes. The door to the Starry Sea in his mouth opened a vast amount of starlight, which appeared to have come from an infinite number of stars, poured out. The vast power within it shook the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell as he tried to break free from it.

Lin Feng looked interestedly at the scene and nodded his head slowly, "Interesting."

He pointed lightly at the Saros Magical Tree and a dark gold tree branch, bolstered by the black and white Holy Light of Creation, came forth to block the starlight coming from the White Tiger Grand Sage's mouth.

The White Tiger Grand Sage was only able to use a tiny bit of the Starry Sea's power. Its power was incomparable to that of the real Starry Sea.

Against the defenses of Lin Feng's Saros Magical Tree, the starlight was unable to do much harm.

On the other hand, Lin Feng continued to increase the power of his Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell as he sought to further weaken the White Tiger Grand Sage.

At the same time, the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi hacked repeatedly at him. Even with the legendary defenses he possessed, the White Tiger Grand Sage was still hurt.

As his wounds worsened, the White Tiger Grand Sage was unable to resist for long. Unwillingly, he could only close his mouth, closing off the entrance to the Starry Sea.

Lin Feng clapped and the Saros Magical Tree fell once again into the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell. The spell and the magic treasure worked in conjunction as the tiny tree branch suddenly expanded massively and turned into a humongous tree with sprawling tree branches.

The Saros Magical Tree squashed the severely-injured White Tiger Grand Sage, preventing him from moving.

When the cloud and smoke had cleared, everyone watched as Lin Feng subdued the heavily-injured White Tiger Grand Sage with his Saros Magical Tree.

On the other hand, the Cang Heaven Spell Blade and the Lu Yuan Grand Sage were beaten back by his Thunder Dragon Avatar.

As for the Golden Cicada, he was unable to do much in the face of the monkey's assault.

As the monkey roared, he waved his Malleable Holy Metal around as he tried to turn the heaven upside-down.

The Golden Cicada's true form turned into millions of smaller cicadas. He was an ocean of bugs and around the ocean of bugs, a round plate shone with light as it tried to protect the many cicadas. even so, many of them were beaten to death by the monkey while some escaped.

Looking at the round plate, most did not react, except the Heavenly Master Grand Sage, whose eyes shone with light. He was itching to act.

The Golden Cicada chanted in a low voice and the round plate split open. Its many fragments flew in all directions.

Lin Feng stretched out his hand and he was able to catch onto a fragment. The Heavenly Master Grand Sage was able to do so too. However, what made him unhappy was the fact that other than Lin Feng, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage each received a piece too.

The red in the Heavenly Master Grand Sage's eyes grew massively as he stared darkly at Lin Feng, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

On the other side, the monkey did not appear to care at all. His gaze remained fixated on the Golden Cicada. As he somersaulted in mid-air, he continued in his pursuit of the Golden Cicada. As one demon sought to escape, the other demon sought to catch him. The two of them soon disappeared.

After the monkey left with the Golden Cicada, Lin Feng did not give chase. Instead, he stared calmly at the Heavenly Master Grand Sage.

The Heavenly Master Grand Sage's face was heavy as his two eyes blazed with a cruel, vicious, red light. He stared intently at Lin Feng and the demon power in his body was evidently restless.

However, finally, he calmed himself down. His figure shimmered as he flew after the monkey and the Golden Cicada.

As the Heavenly Master Grand Sage left, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage both fell silent.

The situation before them was clear. It was impossible to kill Lin Feng!

The Golden Roc Grand Sage flapped his wings and turned into a ray of golden light. He too went after the monkey and the Golden Cicada.

Looking at the situation, Lin Feng smiled slightly.

If the Golden Cicada could survive, it only meant that he was lucky. Lin Feng had captured the White Tiger Grand Sage, slayed the Xiangliu Grand Sage. Right now, there were only only two dragons to deal with.

Lin Feng's gaze turned towards the Earth Dragon King and the Azure Sky Dragon King.

The Azure Sky Dragon King, who was protecting the Earth Dragon King, looked at Lin Feng. Then, he looked at the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage who did not move. An ugly expression crossed his face.

Chapter 957: Don't Mention It

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Earth Dragon King was expressionless too as his gaze alternated between Lin Feng and the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage.

He did not believe that she stayed behind because she had no interest in the Golden Cicada or that she wanted to help him.

He was probably her target right now.

When he saw Lin Feng looking over, the Earth Dragon King opened and shut his eyes and a divine light shone brightly.

Lin Feng's Heaven-Slicing Seal rendered him helpless and cut off his connection to the Grand Celestial World. However, he was still a Vipralopa stage demon. His powers and innate abilities were all exceptional.

In that short time, the effect of the Heaven-Slicing Seal was indeed weakening. As time passed, the effect of the Heaven-Slicing Seal weakened even more. The Earth Dragon King was very close to a complete recovery.

However, looking at how Lin Feng had fought with the Golden Cicada, the White Tiger Grand Sage and the Xiangliu Grand Sage, the Earth Dragon King believed that Lin Feng was more than capable of killing the Azure Sky Dragon King and attacking him before he recovered fully.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was still looking at him hungrily.

After assessing the situation, the Earth Dragon King telepathically communicated to the Azure Sky Dragon King. The Azure Sky Dragon King's gaze flashed for a while. He then acted decisively as he called up all his powers and attacked together with the Earth Dragon King.

However, their target was neither the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage nor Lin Feng. Instead, it was the Earth Dragon King's Celestial Dragon True Form!

To be precise, their target was his front, right claw!

In the center of his claw, there was the imprint of a seal. It was caused from Lin Feng's Heaven-Slicing Seal.

Compared to before, the imprint was fainter and there was only a faint mark. However, the faint mark was still able to subdue the Earth Dragon King, preventing him from using almost half of his powers.

The Earth Dragon King decided and called upon the Azure Sky Dragon King to blast his right claw with his powerful demon powers as he sought to cut it off!

His Celestial Dragon True Form, even though he was no longer able to control it, floated in the void and emitted a vast power. It appeared impossibly resilient and indestructible.

However, the Earth Dragon King had made up his mind. He did not hold back as he attacked together with the Azure Sky Dragon King and cut off his front right claw.

For a true form to be damaged, it was a major loss for a demon as his own demon soul would be affected too. Hence, the Earth Dragon King was unable to decide earlier on. Right now, looking at the situation, he had no other choice.

When Lin Feng saw the Earth Dragon King's action, he shook his head and said, "It's too late to be decisive now."

He extended his right hand high into the sky and straightened his index and middle fingers once again like a sword. The terrifying Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi emitted non-stop and with the violent, powerful sword radiance as its core, black and white light spread non-stop into his surroundings.

A blood-red Qi pillar too shot out from Lin Feng's fingertip as it flew into the horizon like a blood-red pillar. It pierced through the black void as its blood-red clouds rolled non-stop.

Endless amount of black light flashed and slowly concentrated into a black sword made up of light. It floated around the blood-red Qi pillar and curled around it.

Under the combined efforts of the blood-red Qi pillar and the thousands of black swords made from light, millions of complicated formation patterns slowly appeared. Dark light flashed and merged together as it turned into a huge spell formation.

In that moment, a violent, cruel aura engulfed the entire universe and void. Even the stars dimmed.

Lin Feng said slowly, "Heaven! Destroying! Sword! Formation!"

His voice reverberated in the void as if he was ringing the funerary bell for the heaven and earth. Like the Two Elements of Creation Formation, he was able to conjure the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation with his bare hands. While it was not as powerful as the Primal Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation that he used to cultivate his Heaven-Destroying Sword, its might should not be underestimated as well.

Especially since Lin Feng combined it with his own Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi. He pointed out with his finger and the sword formation, brimming with murderous, killing intent turned into a wave of black light and engulfed the entire heaven and earth.

Lin Feng used all his spell power to pull off this supreme, killing formation. Even his own Holy Light of Creation was placed on this sword formation.

Where he pointed, the violent aura of the entire Greater World concentrated there and turned into a heaven-destroying, earth-shattering sword. Its target was the Earth Dragon King!

Regardless whether it was the Earth Dragon King and the Azure Sky Dragon King who were facing Lin Feng directly, or the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage who was spectating by the side, all of them were taken aback. It was as if the heaven and earth no longer existed and was replaced a single, giant, red sword.

That was how big the sword was. It was as if the entire stretch of heaven and earth had been turned into a sword.

A murderous sword with the ability to destroy all creations!

The giant, blood-red sword swished in mid-air as it destroyed all other light around it.

At the same time, the attack of the Earth Dragon King and the Azure Sky Dragon King finally landed on the Earth Dragon King's claws.

Golden, Celestial Dragon blood splattered into the sky. Soon, however, it was obliterated cleanly by the blood-red sword blade and the black sword radiance.

A bellow of shock and anger shook the heavens and earth. With that, another wave of golden dragon blood, which was even brighter than before, spurted out.

Then, there was a low groan. The speaker's voice appeared to shake, and it was clear that he was full of agony. It was a groan that seemed to come from someone who was trembling in so much pain that he could no longer make a sound.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage's expression could not be seen. however, her pupils shone brightly.

When the sword radiance cleared, the scene before her made her heart tremble too.

The Earth Dragon King's front right claw was cut clean off. A portion of his dragon tail was sliced off too!

The Azure Sky Dragon King's body had a deep, sword wound too. Azure dragon blood gushed in all direction.

It was the Earth Dragon King's decision to slice off his own front, right claw. By slicing his front, right claw off, he broke free from the Heaven-Slicing Seal. Once again, he was able to control his own body and re-establish connection with the Greater World.

However, the moment he regained control, the blade formed from Lin Feng's Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation came slicing down. The Earth Dragon King, who was still recovering and in a daze, was only able to haphazardly block the attack.

On one hand, one had been preparing for the attack. On the other hand, one was only able to pull off a shoddy defense. The difference was evident. The Earth Dragon King could only jump up and down in rage as he stared helplessly as his tail was sliced off by Lin Feng's powerful sword!

Not only was Lin Feng able to cut his tail off, he was also able to injure the Azure Sky Dragon King by his side. The poor Azure Sky Dragon King, who sought to help the Earth Dragon King cut off his front, right claw, was unable to care about anything else. Unfortunately, he too was severely injured by Lin Feng's sword.

The giant, golden dragon tail still trembled in the void. Golden blood had already stopped gushing out of it.

The dragon tail appeared to have its own life. However, something appeared to be controlling it.

As the Earth Dragon King looked at his tail, fire of anger blazed in his eyes.

With his mastery, even though his tail had been separated from his body and he was no doubt injured, he was able to turn the dragon tail into an avatar if he wanted to do so. In fact, the avatar would probably be more powerful than the Azure Sky Dragon King.

However, as his tail was sliced off by Lin Feng's Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation, the all-destroying power within prevented his tail from changing anymore.

Right now, the tail was still able to move and keep alive. This was because of the Earth Dragon King's power.

However, what made the Earth Dragon King almost choked in rage was the fact that when Lin Feng waved his hand, his front right claw, which still possessed a faint imprint, flew towards him.

If the Earth Dragon King was able to take the claw and remove the imprint, he still had a chance of re-attaching it to his body.

After he regained his power, it would be easy for him to get rid of the faint imprint, even if he was severely injured.

Then, as long as Lin Feng battled with his own powers, the Earth Dragon King who had revealed his true form would still be able to fight him.

Right now, as he watched his own claw fall into Lin Feng's hand, how could he not go crazy in anger?

Here, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, who was silent throughout, finally moved. Her body flashed and she appeared before the Earth Dragon King's tail. From the fog around her body, her hand, white as jade, stretched out as she caught onto the dragon tail.

The Earth Dragon King roared and he reached out with his left claw to stop her. However, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage extended another hand and lightly touched his left claw. At that moment, the wound from the Earth Dragon King's right claw trembled once more violently as golden blood poured out.

On his other side, Lin Feng came over after he caught onto the Earth Dragon King's front right claw.

The Earth Dragon King was helpless. An odd pattern appeared on his forehead and then, it covered his entire body as it shone with light.

In the light, an endless sea of gold flashing with black light appeared before Lin Feng and the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage.

"The Black Sea!" The gaze of Lin Feng and the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage shone.

The light engulfed the Earth Dragon King and the Azure Sky Dragon King. Then, they disappeared.

Lin Feng arched his eyebrows as he looked at the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and said lightly, "Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, long time no see."

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage looked at Lin Feng. Her face, shrouded by mist, could not be seen. However, from her flashing gaze, one could tell that she was evidently not calm.

Amongst all the demons in the Barren Expanses, she was the one who paid the most attention to Lin Feng and the one who understood him the best.

The two of them interacted many times before. They fought and they had cooperated together as well.

Originally, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage thought that Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders were able to stir up trouble in the Divine Lands. However, she had never expected that his rise would be so fast, to the point whereby she herself was helpless.

Today, Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders were the number one threat to all demons in the Barren Expanses, including her.

To get rid of this threat, if the powerful demons of the Barren Expanses did not ally together and plan to get rid of him together, then they could only count on an all-out war against the Celestial Sect of Wonders by the other forces of the Divine Land.

Right now, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage regretted standing by and doing nothing along with the Heavenly Master Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

As she held onto the Earth Dragon King's severed tail, she regained her calm as she smiled at Lin Feng, "Thank you, Master Lin."

Lin Feng looked at her and shook his head. While they allied together to get rid of the Earth Dragon King and the Azure Sky Dragon King, this was unlike his cooperation with the monkey. Had he revealed weakness, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage would not have hesitated in joining forces with the other demons to kill him.

Lin Feng's lips curled into a smile as he said, "Don't mention it."

As he said that, he pointed with his finger. The severed tail in the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage's hand started to tremble violently as if it was going to explode!

Chapter 958: The Regretful Heavenly Charms Grand Sage

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"Don't mention it," said Lin Feng. As he said that, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage felt as if something was amiss.

The golden dragon tail in her hands started to tremble violently as if it was about to explode. It was as if the chaos in the universe were about to form a new world. At the same time, it was as if a world was about to collapse.

"It's still his sword will!" The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage reacted immediately.

Before this, because of the violent sword will of the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation, the Earth Dragon King's tail was unable to change despite its master's orders.

Right now, the brutal sword will that Lin Feng had kept inside the tail burst forth suddenly.

Unlike the Earth Dragon King, who had no choice and could not react on time, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage devoted all her attention to it. Her powers reached a maximum. Just now, when she allied with Lin Feng to fight the Earth Dragon King, more than half of her attention was actually devoted to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng guarded himself against her, so how could she not guard herself against him?

However, Lin Feng did not expect to use the dragon tail to harm the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. However, he sought to use the sword will to completely blow up the vast amount of energy in the tail, which was from the almost endless amount of demonic energy and physical essence the Azure Sky Dragon King had accumulated over the years.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was already in the Vipralopa stage. Even if the Earth Dragon King attacked with all his powers, she was not afraid.

However, the power in the dragon tail sought to take everything down along with it without the slightest trace of holding back.

This power appeared to belong to the Earth Dragon King himself. With his tail as sacrifice, he was about to launch a powerful attack!

Even with the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage's own mastery and abilities, she still had to approach this delicately and carefully at such close distance.

If she did not want to be injured by this power, then the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage should try to either avoid or defend against it at all costs. Doing so, however, would lose her the tail as she could only watch helplessly as the tail blew up.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage's eyes flashed and a faint light enveloped her body, which appeared to have been cloaked by a layer of purple light.

An impossibly terrifying power flashed in the silent, black space, inducing fear and terror everywhere.

This was the manifestation of the Hades' Dark Mantra that the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage adapted for her own use. Quickly, she performed gestures with her hands as her entire body appeared fainter and fainter, like smoke and cloud.

The flashing purple cloud swallowed the dragon tail that was about to explode. A vast, mystic force forced the dragon tail to change!

The dragon tail, which had been violently vibrating, appeared to be calming down.

Not only that, Lin Feng could feel another power. He could clearly sense that it was the sword will he had left in the dragon tail.

"You are truly extraordinary, Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. To what I know, you have just finished your Cardinal Tribulations, right? Such power is truly exceptional," laughed Lin Feng as he pounced towards the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage.

If she were a true ally, then he would not mind her obtaining some benefits off him. As he himself had obtained the dragon claw, it seemed only fair that she should get the dragon tail.

However, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was neither friend nor foe. For short-term interest, she allied together with Lin Feng. Soon after, they might become enemies again. Lin Feng did not like making enemies and he was fine with letting small things go. However, the dragon tail that the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage obtained would be of immense benefits to her.

When Lin Feng attacked, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage shook her head.

In a quiet environment, she was confident of stopping the dragon tail from its incessant writhing. Then, she would remove Lin Feng's sword will to prevent it from exploding.

However, Lin Feng would not just let her subdue the tail. Faced with Lin Feng's attack, if she still chose to subdue the tail, she would have to turn her back to the enemy and be trapped between a rock and a hard place.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage too was decisive. Immediately, she threw the tail to one side. However, she was not so easy to take care of. Faced with the exploding dragon tail, she inserted her own mana into it as she tried to bring it one step closer to explosion.

While Lin Feng's sword will was a fuse that could trigger the energy inside the tail to explode, no one knew if Lin Feng was capable enough to subduing the dragon tail after she abandoned it.

Hence, under the combined powers of both Lin Feng and the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the tail of the Earth Dragon King completely exploded in the void as it turned into an unlimited amount of demonic powers and dragon essence. Spreading everywhere, they blanketed the space where Lin Feng and the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage were at.

The powerful explosion threw the universe into chaos. The center of the explosion was formless and unable to materialize into anything.

With only a dragon claw in hand, Lin Feng leisurely started to concentrate all the blood and Qi together. While much were lost during the explosion, there were still quite a lot of it left.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage did the same thing. After she collected a bunch of it, her form disappeared in the void.

"Master Lin, we'll see each other soon. Take care." The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, who fell for Lin Feng's ploy, still kept a peaceful tone. However, the complicated emotions in her words still revealed themselves.

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, "Your reaction is fast indeed."

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage decided to leave and Lin Feng decided not to pursue her. Instead, he stopped and started to subdue the front right claw of the Earth Dragon King.

The imprint on the Earth Dragon King's claw was completely gone. Like the tail, it began to vibrate. As the claw started to curl up, light, golden light and a vast amount of blood and Qi started to flow out and took shape.

Looking at the shape, it appeared to be that of a dragon. Without the suppression by the Heaven-Slicing Seal, the dragon claw, like the dragon tail, re-established connection with the Earth Dragon King. With this mind, the Earth Dragon King was able to cultivate the claw into an avatar.

However, the Earth Dragon King did not plan on turning his claw into an avatar. Instead, he wanted it to return to his side.

Lin Feng, naturally, would not give him the chance as he immediately subdued the claw.

Light appeared to flash in the void and a path appeared to have opened. The Black Sea started to fade in and out of sight and one could hear the rise and fall of waves in the sea.

Lin Feng looked at it with a half-smile. As he used his own powers to completely subdue the claw, the light before his eyes disappeared too.

"That's the Black Sea, one of the Grand Celestial Seven Seas and today the home of the dragon. Heh!" Lin Feng laughed. "The Earth Celestial Dragon is indeed far-sighted. He even left an escape path for himself."

The light from the Black Sea was the one that whisked the Earth Dragon King and the Azure Sky Dragon King to safety. Looking at that seemingly faint but immensely powerful and mystical energy, Lin Feng did not even want to stop it with his Fences of Heaven, his Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell or his Celestial Sect Teleportation Technique.

The Black Sea was truly in the hands of the dragon. As long as a Vipralopa stage dragon was there, any enemy of the dragons who entered would be suppressed by the powers of the entire Black Sea.

At the same time, the Black Sea was the only one out of the Grand Celestial Seven Seas to be completely controlled by a single power.

Even the Great Void Sect, with their Supreme Heavenly Mirror, might not be able to penetrate it.

Many years ago, when the Hades Emperor ruled the Barren Expanses, while the dragons nominally bent the knee, they still preserved a certain degree of autonomy. This was entirely due to the existence of the Black Sea. While they could not be said to have complete sovereignty over the Black Sea, they were indeed more independent than the other demons.

Looking at the Black Sea, Lin Feng thought of the White Tiger Grand Sage and his gate into the Starry Sea.

This was an unexpected surprise. Before he came to the Barren Expanses, he had not expected it. To be precise, he did not even predict it before the White Tiger Grand Sage revealed this secret of his.

Through the formation he could cast with the Mountain and River Void Crucible and the Nine Familial Green Bronze Crucibles of Emptiness, he was able to enter another Outer Realm. While it was close to the Ancient Desolate Galaxy, it was not its actual path.

It was not hard to create a temporary passageway. However, he did not know what to expect there.

After all, it was once the training ground of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. Who knew if she could sense his presence?

It was even possible that it was a trap by the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage who was waiting for him to fall into it. She did not exactly know that Lin Feng had discovered the Outer Realm. However, if she sensed his entrance, she might be able to organize a welcome for him.

After all, to what Lin Feng knew, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage possessed a real entrance into the Starry Sea and she could enter and exit at will.

Before the Middle Ages, the entrance of the Ancient Desolate Galaxy was fixed. However, it was not in the Divine Lands or the Barren Expanses. Instead, it was in the void between the two.

However, during the battle that concluded the Middle Ages, the Hades Emperor led the demons to re-take the entrance. Then, the Starry Sea began to change and its entrance changed along with it. That was how it ended up like this today.

Currently, there were six entrances into the Ancient Desolate Galaxy. Everyone knew that the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Ancient Ape Demons and the dragons each possessed one.

The location of the last three was unknown. Of course, now, one knew that the White Tiger Grand Sage possessed one.

Lin Feng was filled with suspicion. While the Hades Emperor had fallen and the Hades Tribe had hid themselves in a Middle World, the Hades Tribe should have kept one entrance for themselves seeing as how they were masters of the Starry Sea many years ago.

Lin Feng tried to probe the White Tiger Grand Sage's entrance. He could feel its mystic powers, which he needed more time to fully understand.

The White Tiger Grand Sage obtained the door not too long ago. While he could summon the powers of the stars from it, he still did not know how to enter it.

Then, before long, Lin Feng snatched it away from him.

"Ancient Desolate Galaxy, Ancient Desolate Galaxy…" Lin Feng thought. "This matter has far-reaching implications and I should not be hasty. I shall plan for it first."

Here, he put his thought aside. He turned and walked next to his Thunder Dragon Avatar.

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage was already captured and the Cang Heaven Spell Blade still sought to resist. However, he was captured and subdued by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked at the void far away, which split open. A figure tumbled out of the void before him. It was the monkey and behind him, the Yu'ao Dragon King followed.

Chapter 959: Giving Blood

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

When the Earth Dragon King began fighting with Lin Feng, the monkey immediately enveloped the Yu'ao Dragon King with his demon powers. The Azure Sky Dragon King could only stare helplessly.

However, after everything that had happened, both the Azure Sky Dragon King and the Yu'ao Dragon King felt a tremble of fear in their hearts. If not for the monkey's 'protection', the Yu'ao Dragon King, if he did not do anything to protect himself like the Earth Dragon King and the Azure Sky Dragon King, would have been killed by Lin Feng's powerfully brutal sword.

If the Earth Dragon King did not regain his connection with the Greater World, he would not have been able to escape into the Black Sea. While the Azure Sky Dragon King and him could take more than one hit, they would be unable to protect the Yu'ao Dragon King.

When he saw Lin Feng, the monkey said, "Master of the Celestial Sect, I owe you a great favor this time round and I thank you for it now. I will repay you in kind. However, if my Third Junior or Fourth Junior had offended you and your disciples, I can only hope that you will forgive them."

Lin Feng did not reply him but instead smiled and asked, "How about that old monk?"

"He is slimy instead as he had prepared escape paths after escape paths for himself. I am surprised too that you were able to get rid of my Golden Hoop and hence, I wasn't really prepared for it," said the monkey with a smile. "However, after I whacked him three times, if he hasn't died, he is probably severely crippled and nothing more than a pile of flesh and blood. Though I must say, it benefitted the Golden Roc and the Heavenly Master."

Lin Feng smiled once more as he flipped his palm to produce a golden alms bowl. In the alms bowl, there were a few cicada wings.

The cicada wings flew to the monkey's side. Lin Feng kept the golden alms bowl and said, "I can't give you the alms bowl as I still have use for it. However, I can give you the cicada wings."

With that, he tapped lightly with his fingers and an old monk with an uneven face fell before the monkey.

Looking at the old monk, the monkey and the Yu'ao Dragon King exchanged a look. "The Amitabha Monk?"

The old monk was one of the Golden Cicada's five Buddhist avatars, the Amitabha Monk. Earlier, Lin Feng caught him in the Nine Netherworld Peak.

When the monkey saw the cicada wings and then the Amitabha Monk, his mouth cracked open into a smile as he said, "Good, very good. With this, it will be easier to find the old bugger."

The Amitabha Monk closed his eyes and muttered a Buddhist incantation in low voice. He appeared to have sighed as he shook his head and said nothing.

The Yu'ao Dragon King looked at the Amitabha Monk and sighed too. He respected the Golden Cicada and he had to thank him for his Buddhist teachings. However, his relationship with the monkey was good too. It was indeed hard for him to clarify this situation.

With the monkey's personality, he would not be contented if he did not whack the monk a few times first.

Just like today, the Golden Cicada was already severely injured. If the monkey had hit him another seven to eight more times, then he may have really lost his life.

As he kept the cicada wings and the Amitabha Monk, the monkey turned his head, scratched the back of his head and said, "Wow, my debt to you only grows."

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "The Golden Cicada and I never got along well. Today, he paid the price for it. This is his comeuppance for attempting to kidnap and harass the members of my sect. if he had not tried to do so, then I would not have gone after him. Admittedly, I would not let him off with nothing. That is why I helped you."

He shook his sleeves once more and the Nine Infants Grand Sage, who now possessed only eight heads, fell between the monkey and him.

The Nine Infants Grand Sage looked at the monkey and said solemnly, "Big Senior, I have troubled you."

Lin Feng said to the monkey, "I can return Nine Infants to you. From the start to the end, all he did was to listen to the Golden Cicada's orders as he tried to protect the Golden Cicada's altar. He did not provoke me and hence, I won't find trouble with him. However, as he strongly resisted against me, I cut off one of his heads as punishment."

"If he wants revenge, I shall be here waiting."

The monkey looked at the Nine Infants Grand Sage and said, "The Master of the Celestial Sect helped me get rid of the Golden Hoop. It's not good for me to attack him."

The Nine Infants Grand Sage fell silent and then asked, "How about master?"

The monkey replied, "I hit him three times just now and I don't where is he hiding right now. Do you want to find him? I don't think he will leave traces for others to follow. However, if I find traces of him, I will find him too and hit him until I am happy."

The Nine Infants Grand Sage sighed once more as he lowered all eight of his heads in front of Lin Feng and said, "If you want to kill me, then you should have killed me then. Had you done that, I wouldn't have lived till now."

While he was a violent demon who liked to hold grudges, he himself knew that there was no hope left. The Nine Infants Grand Sage had no intention of seeking death.

He was not powerful enough and the Golden Cicada and the monkey would not help him. All he could do was to lower his head and submit.

Lin Feng nodded his head and then looked at the silent Yu'ao Dragon King and said, "Regardless whether you did it for Nine Infants or the Golden Cicada, you have provoked the disciples of my sect."

"After the Earth Dragon King trapped my disciples, you did not take advantage of the situation like the Zu'e Grand Sage and hence, there is still a chance for redemption. Now that your senior has begged for forgiveness on your behalf, I can forgive you, but not completely."

"You cannot leave as if nothing had happened."

At that moment, the Thunder Dragon Avatar regained his human form and stood beside Lin Feng. Whenever he saw the two odd horns on the Thunder Dragon Avatar's head, which only dragons possessed, the Yu'ao Dragon King's eyelids would flutter.

Hearing that, the monkey's heart raced in panic. However, he could not do anything but scratch his ears and think.

The Yu'ao Dragon King knew that his Big Senior was more arrogant than dragons. However, he would be an ingrate as well and right now, he was definitely in a dilemma.

He did not want to see the monkey in such a dilemma and hence, the Yu'ao Dragon King sighed and lowered his head and said, "My real name is Lie'ao."

For Vipralopa stage demons like the Earth Dragon King, it was still okay if others knew his true name. However, for the Yu'ao Dragon King, it was indeed risky for him should others know his true name.

Hence, if he dared to go against the Celestial Sect of Wonders in the future, there would be hell to pay for him.

After he told them his true name, the Yu'ao Dragon King said, "I heard that there are two dragons in the Celestial Sect of Wonders, one of them is a Bastille Black Dragon and the other is a White Jade Dragon."

"I am willing to give up my dragon blood as compensation for my actions this time." He paused for a while and then said, "My blood has been infused with the Divine Original True Spirit Pattern and been baptized by starlight."

Lin Feng waved his sleeve and Shi Tianhao appeared before him. He smiled at the Yu'ao Dragon King. Looking at Shi Tianhao's smile, the Yu'ao Dragon King thought of Shi Tianhao's claim to fame and his face turned black. However, he had no choice but to follow Shi Tianhao to the side.

When he thought of how Shi Tianhao's Immortal Soul turned into a furnace and cultivated the essence of the Heaven-Carrying Ants, the Yu'ao Dragon King clearly understood that other than Jieyu and Baiguang, this handsome but violently brutal young man before him wanted a portion of his blood too.

However, he did not know that the little Tao Tie, Tun Tun, who was enveloped by Shi Tianhao's mana, too was staring at him hungrily.

Fortunately, Lin Feng had already said that he would spare the Yu'ao Dragon King. If not, Shi Tianhao, whose eyes shone with light, would have drained all the blood from this Undying Demon Soul Third Level dragon.

Even so, he drained enough blood from the Yu'ao Dragon King to leave his face pale and his body weakened.

After it was finished, Lin Feng turned to the monkey and said with a smile, "Goodbye, for now. Let's hope we'll meet in the future." He did not mention a single word about helping the monkey get rid of the Golden Hoop.

The Yu'ao Dragon King's punishment was well-deserved. Both Lin Feng and the monkey knew that the debt of gratitude the monkey owed Lin Feng shall be repaid in the future.

A trump card in one's hand was always the most powerful one. Likewise, a debt of gratitude too was extremely valuable.

The monkey used his powers to envelop the Nine Infants Grand Sage and the Yu'ao Dragon King. Then, the monkey clasped his hands together seriously in a gesture of gratitude towards Lin Feng.

Afterwards, he smiled and said, "Master of the Celestial Sect, I shall see you soon." With that, he somersaulted away and disappeared.

Lin Feng brought Shi Tianhao and company out of the void and back into the Barren Expanses.

Lin Feng looked to the side and realized that Shi Tianhao was carrying a huge bowl and smiling very brightly. The bowl was filled with transparent liquid which was white and warm. In the bowl, it resembled a huge, beautiful piece of jade.

Compared to the huge, true form of the Yu'ao Dragon King, the amount of blood in the large bowl seemed insignificant.

However, this was no ordinary blood. Instead, it was the essence of the Yu'ao Dragon King. Even for an Undying Demon Soul Third level demon like the Yu'ao Dragon King, releasing so much blood at once was injurious.

Looking at the bowl before him, Shi Tianhao was over the moon.

As he tried to push Tun Tun, who was struggling to get at the bowl, back, Shi Tianhao turned to look at Lin Feng and asked, "Master, where are we off to next?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "The Parasol Tree Forest."

"A long time ago, the Phoenix Tribe and the Divine Parasol Tree Tribe invited me over. Today, since I am free and in the Barren Expanses, I think I should pay them a visit."

Shi Tianhao plucked at his eyebrows and said, "Master, I heard that the Phoenix Tribe and the dragons are close."

Lin Feng nodded his head and said, "It's true. Nowadays, if the Phoenix Tribe and the Divine Parasol Tree Tribe want to enter the Ancient Desolate Galaxy, they have to borrow the dragons' gate. However, it's fine, like how dragons are well-known for their arrogance, the justice of the phoenix is a well-known fact too."

"The Red Dragon King died at my hands. Hence, the dragons would always have a bone to pick with me. That's their nature."

"For the phoenix, they must see who is right and who is wrong first before doing anything. That's their nature too."

"Furthermore, while the phoenix and the dragons have good ties, they are no vassal of the dragons. Many times, they have differing opinions."

"Regardless whether it is the Phoenix Tribe or the Divine Parasol Tree Tribe, one should have no problem interacting with them as long as one behaves rationally and is polite."

Here, he suddenly stopped and swept Shi Tianhao with his gaze and said, "Hence, you and Tun Tun are not allowed. Stay outside the forest to wait for me."

Shi Tianhao opened his eyes and said in a voice full of injustice, "Master, I am always reasonable when doing things."

"Eh, all you know how to do is to eat," laughed Lin Feng. He ignored his disciple's complains as he looked into the distance and mumbled, "By going to the Parasol Tree Forest, I can test my hypothesis."

"I sincerely hope I am wrong."

Chapter 960: With One Blast from the Cannon, I Reaped Treasures of Innumerable Worth

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Parasol Tree Forest was the ancestral home of the Phoenix and the Divine Parasol Trees.

Many years ago, because of the Parasol Tree King, Lin Feng, Xiao Yan and the other disciples were able to build close ties with the Divine Parasol Trees. That was when Xiao Yan sent Lin Tong to the Parasol Tree Forest.

Lin Feng cut through the void as he enveloped Yang Qing, Luo Qingwu, Chu Yang and the rest with his mana. Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao and Zhuge Zhan followed by his side.

Zhuge Zhan sighed and said, "The Parasol Tree Forest has not been open to others for many years. Other than some dragons and the Vermilion Bird Grand Sage, few people other than the phoenix and the Divine Parasol Trees come here."

Amongst the few powerful demons of the Barren Expanses, the Vermilion Bird Grand Sage was one of those demons who preferred to operate alone and had few relatives, just like the White Tiger Grand Sage, the Xiangliu Grand Sage and the Lu Yuan Grand Sage.

The Vermilion Bird Grand Sage was one of the few, rare pure-blooded vermilion birds. With his vast demonic powers, he was used to operating alone.

However, the Vermilion Bird Grand Sage had good ties with the phoenix. At the very least, he was one of the few demons who could enter and exit the Parasol Tree Forest freely.

"In terms of operating alone…" Lin Feng stared at Zhuge Zhan and said, "In the Divine Lands today, there are only three other Immortal Soul Third Level cultivators who are independent cultivators, right?"

To what Lin Feng knew, there were only four powerful Immortal Soul Third Level cultivators in the Divine Lands.

Other than the Scorching Sun Holy Man, Zhuge Zhan, before him and the Luofu Holy Man of the Luofu Mystical Island, there were two others. They were Qianshu Toutuo and the Dream Holy Man, Ning Wange.

Amongst the four of them, only the Luofu Holy Man had a fixed residence in the Luofu Mystical Island. The other three of them had no place to live and their steps were hard to track. Furthermore, they rarely revealed themselves.

Amongst them, Qianshu Toutuo took part in the War of Buddha Annihilation. Together with Shi Tianfang of the Samsara Sect Path of the Heaven-Born, he was able to obtain something that he wanted from the Great Thunderclap Temple. After the War of Buddha Annihilation ended, there had been no news of Qianshu Toutuo.

As for the Dream Holy Man, Ning Wange, he was even more mysterious. No one knew exactly where he was or who he was. Many people suspected that he did not even exist in the first place and was a cover for one of the Supreme Elders of the Great Void Sect.

That was all the information Lin Feng knew. Hence, as he had thought about it, he decided to ask Zhuge Zhan.

Amongst independent cultivators, they would occasionally communicate with one another and they were normally quite close. While they were not exactly allies, they had managed to form their own circles.

For example, Zhuge Zhan's relationship with Qianshu Toutuo was not bad.

Zhuge Zhan replied, "Right now, there are only four of us."

He paused for a while and then said with an odd expression, "If Ning Wange is really an independent cultivator like us, then there's really just four of us."

Lin Feng looked at Zhuge Zhan and said, "Oh, so does Daoist Zhuge think that Ning Wange does not exist?"

Zhuge Zhan laughed and said, "Don't blame me, Master Lin. Since the Battle of Xiling City, I've been suspecting that you are actually Ning Wange and you have finally decided to reveal yourself to establish your own sect."

"Many people have the same thoughts as me. Since your appearance, many have suspected that Ning Wange is either your cover or the cover of a Supreme Elder of the Great Void Sect. Increasing number of people think that he doesn't even exist in the first place."

Hearing that, Lin Feng was shocked. He could not help but smiled slightly and said, "You have thought too much. I am completely unrelated to Ning Wange."

Zhuge Zhan nodded his head and said, "If you say so, Master Lin, I believe you."

Lin Feng then said, "To what I know, the Dream Holy Man Ning Wange formerly fought with Shi Tianfang of the Samsara Sect's Path of the Heaven-Born and the Supreme Elder of the Great Thunderclap Temple, the Supreme Truth Zen Master. It was purely a battle of technique. No one used any magic treasure and no one battled to the death. In the end, the battle ended as a draw."

Zhuge Zhan answered, "That's right. Ning Wange's spells are very strange and mystical. It would cause others to sink into a dream-like state which they could not escape from. However, it was different from the changes between illusion and reality. It has never appeared before in the Grand Celestial World and hence, no one knew a lot about it."

"At the same time, no one knew what Ning Wange's cultivation is. Even Shi Tianfang and the Supreme Truth Zen Master did not know if Ning Wange had used all his powers."

His mouth twitched and said, "Furthermore, they did not even know if Ning Wange is a man or a woman. It's fine if one of them was unable to tell. However, if both were unable to tell, it could very well mean that Ning Wange was holding back."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "While I have never seen him before, his spells are different from mine. So your guess is wrong."

Zhuge Zhan laughed and nodded his head. With Lin Feng's current status, he had no need to lie and deceive others, which was way beneath him. hence, he too believed that Ning Wange was not Lin Feng. However, he still did not trust Lin Feng fully despite what he said. Who knew what other tricks Lin Feng had?

During the battle just now, even Zhuge Zhan, who had seen much and was powerful himself, felt his heart jump.

The escape of the Golden Cicada, the return of the Earth Dragon King and the Azure Sky Dragon King to the Black Sea and the fact that the monkey, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Heavenly Master Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage all heralded the end of the battle.

However, before that, no one would have thought that the result would be as such.

Through the Battle for Mount Shu as well as the battles Lin Feng had with Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage, the Azure Sky Dragon King and the monkey in the Barren Expanses, no one could deny that Lin Feng was extremely powerful.

However, by coming alone to the Barren Expanses, he placed himself at great risk. If he had revealed any form of weakness, then he would have been surrounded and killed by the many demons.

Of course, to surround and kill Lin Feng, the demons would have to pay a huge price too. After all, the Heaven-Destroying Sword, Mount Yujing and the Bell of Destiny were not there for ornamental purposes.

However, the result was still shocking. Without even using his magic treasures like the Heaven-Destroying Sword, Lin Feng was still able to emerge unscathed while killing and injuring many powerful demons.

Let's not mention the Golden Cicada who was beaten back by the monkey. Lin Feng severely injured the Earth Dragon King and the Azure Sky Dragon King, capturing the White Tiger Grand Sage and the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and killing the Xiangliu Grand Sage and the Zu'e Grand Sage. If not for the monkey, the Yu'ao Dragon King would have died too.

Lin Feng used countless methods and shocked everyone. No one was able to ascertain what powers he himself possessed.

It was exactly because of this reason that prevented the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Heavenly Master Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage from acting.

Thinking about it here, Zhuge Zhan shook his head while admiring Lin Feng in his heart.

Thinking about it, another question popped up in Lin Feng's mind, "In that case, Ning Wange is another character like the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. However, he keeps a lower profile than the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage."

While the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was able to establish her preponderance for many thousand years as well as dominate the Barren Expanses, neither humans nor demons knew of her true depths. Neither had anyone seen her powers.

Not only was her original tribe unknown to many, many people did not know her true face.

Unlike the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Grand Sage who was apt at transformation, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage appeared to be perpetually shrouded in fog and clouds that no one could see through.

Legend had it that the Great Void Sect tried to use their formerly-incomplete Supreme Heavenly Mirror to see through her but failed.

While she might be in the Vipralopa stage right now, almost no one was able to find out her mastery level all those years before. That was indeed strange news in the Barren Expanses.

Zhuge Zhan appeared to be thinking along similar lines as he said, "However, other than the four of us, there was one more powerful independent cultivator senior who had gone missing. No one knows if he is dead or alive or well."

"Oh?" Lin Feng smiled and said, "That's truly a mystery."

As he chatted with Zhuge Zhan, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao listened to them with great interest. As they listened, they increased their own knowledge as well.

This voyage to the Barren Expanses had greatly benefitted the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao tricked the Lu Yuan Grand Sage and benefitted greatly off him. Lin Feng viewed those as their personal gains, which did not need to be submitted to the sect. Had that been the case, the Celestial Sect of Wonders would have earned even more.

For treasures like the door to the Starry Sea and the golden alms bowl, there was no need to mention them first. Just by killing the Xiangliu Grand Sage and the Zu'e Grand Sage, the sect benefitted a great deal.

A powerful demon's entire body was full of treasures and that was no exaggeration. Both the Golden Cicada and the Earth Dragon King were forced to retreat and hence, they were unable to collect the corpses of the Xiangliu Grand Sage and the Zu'e Grand Sage. Hence, everything fell into the hands of Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

In comparison, while the Xiangliu Grand Sage's cultivation was higher, because of the unique characteristic of his tribe, a longer time was needed to truly harvest the treasures from his body. On the other hand, the Zu'e Grand Sage's body was worth much more.

Other than that, the White Tiger and the Lu Yuan were both caught. The Yu'ao Dragon Tribe paid for his freedom in blood.

Coupled with the Earth Dragon King's claws and the blood and flesh Lin Feng obtained from his tail, the value of his loot was incredible.

"Oh right, there's the Cang Heaven Spell Blade too," laughed Lin Feng as he shook his head. He did not know if the luck of the blade was good or bad. "I really made a great deal of profit from this battle. With one blast from the cannon, I reaped treasures of innumerable worth."

The battle in the Barren Expanses greatly benefitted the Celestial Sect of Wonders while humiliating many demons.

When news of the battle spread to the Divine Lands, it too created quite a stir that was no smaller than the impact of the Anti-Celestial Sect War.

Prince Yanliang of the Great Zhou Empire, Liang Fu, and the Cheng Yun Holy Man, Li Yao, quickly returned to the capital of the Great Zhou Empire, Tianjing. When he heard the news, he was immensely relieved that he did not follow Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao into the interiors of the mine. If he had done that, he would have entered the Outer Realm. The consequences were unthinkable.

"Fifth Brother and Li Yao have worked hard. Please rest well." After the Zhou Emperor, Liang Pan, heard their reports, he waved his hands to dismiss them without any change in expressions.

After Liang Fu and the Cheng Yun Holy Man left, the Zhou Emperor sat on his dragon throne and contemplated in silence. After a while, he said softly, "Yan Mingyue, I wish to meet with the Qing Yi Holy Woman and your master."

In the palace, a green-robed woman sat quietly at the guest's seat. It was Yan Mingyue. Her expression was as per normal. However, she appeared more ethereal and unpredictable, like the thick clouds that always enveloped Mount Baiyun.

She looked at Liang Pan, smiled and nodded her head and said, "Grandmaster is in the Barren Expanses. However, I can help you contact my master."

Chapter 961: The Parasol Tree Forest

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

After she told her master, Yun Yuanzhen, of the Zhou Emperor Liang Pan's plans, she bade him farewell.

When she left Tianjing City, thoughts swirled through her mind, "Many things happened since I ended my closed-door training."

She did not know how long had she been walking but Yan Mingyue suddenly stopped. She looked westwards where the Kunlun Mountains were. While she knew that the owner of the Kunlun Mountains was not even in the Divine Lands, her gaze remained fixated at the mountains.

"Indeed, my feeling all the while back is right. However, I never expect this day to come so quickly," thought Yan Mingyue as she recalled the many things that had happened. She thought about the conversation she had with Lin Feng after the Battle of Xiling City.

"It is indeed a boat that can fly…," said Yan Mingyue as she stifled a laugh. However, her gaze was clear as she continued, "However, even a boat that can fly must traverse through the ocean. The endless universe is like a sea of stars."

"After all, our paths are different and cooperation is difficult. You are the biggest obstacle in my path. However, due to your very existence, the originally tiny path is now a big road. Indeed, the affairs of the mortal world are mythical beyond comprehension."

"Today, you are way above my level and I have to look up to you. However, I am a tiny droplet of water in this great ocean. Let us see if the boat can leave the ocean."

The space between heaven and earth shook slightly as red clouds slowly congregated and formed a human face. It was Yun Yuanzhen.

Yan Mingyue smiled and bowed towards Yun Yuanzhen and said, "Master."

Yun Yuanzhen smiled and said, "Mingyue, stay in Tianjing City for now."

"Yes, master," replied Yan Mingyue. "Master, how was your negotiation with Liang Pan?"

Yun Yuanzhen said, "We have agreed on some preliminary steps and we can continue to plan our next steps. That will need time. Fortunately, the Master of the Celestial Sect has obtained time for us."

Yan Mingyue asked, "Is master talking about the slaying of demons in the Barren Expanses by the Master of the Celestial Sect?"

Yun Yuanzhen said, "He captured and slayed the White Tiger, the Xiangliu, the Lu Yuan and the Zu'e. He was also able to severely injure the Golden Cicada and the Earth Dragon King, both of whom are in their Vipralopa stage, till the point whereby they need rest for recovery."

Yan Mingyue thought for a while and then asked, "However, I feel that it's not enough."

"The Master of the Celestial Sect has yet to return from the Barren Expanses. Whether or not he will come into conflict with the demons again, no one knows," said Yun Yuanzhen slowly. "However, we cannot place our hopes on the Master of the Celestial Sect. Our sect must do something too. Only then would there be enough time."

Yan Mingyue nodded her head and said, "The demons invaded Mount Taihua when the Tai Yi Holy Man and other seniors entered the Realm Beyond the Heavens. Mount Taihua is destroyed and today, our sect has acted. It's time for them to reciprocate."

She paused for a while and then asked, "Master, if there is huge progress, then the Master of the Celestial Sect may come up with his own methods too. Ultimately, it will benefit the Divine Lands. Should we temporarily ally with the Celestial Sect of Wonders and fight against the demons first?"

Yun Yuanzhen replied, "If the time is right, why not? However, the possibility of this is extremely small. However, the footsteps of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage are hard to track. If we want to attack the Black Sea or the Lingyuan Mountains, then we have to wait for our Supreme Heavenly Mirror to be in prime condition. If not, the consequences will be too dire."

"For the Starry Sea, since we don't have the door to enter it, we shall place it aside for now."

"However, regardless whether it's the Celestial Sect of Wonders or the demons, we still need time to prepare."

Yan Mingyue nodded her head and said, "I understand."

Yun Yuanzhen continued, "For the demons, we need time. However, thanks to the Master of the Celestial Sect's recent voyage into the Barren Expanses and our subsequent actions, we are able to obtain more time against the demons."

Hearing that, Yan Mingyue's eyes flashed as she said seriously, "Master, are you saying that the Origins Celestial Dragon…"

Yun Yuanzhen did not reply immediately. She fell silent before saying, "I hope I am wrong."

"This time, the Earth Celestial Dragon and the dragons suffered such a huge defeat at the hands of the Master of the Celestial Sect. Hence, the subsequent actions of the dragons can be used to test our hypothesis."

Yan Mingyue digested Yun Yuanzhen's words for a while and then said with a smile, "If that's the case, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage will be disappointed."

Hearing that, Yun Yuanzhen smiled too and replied, "Don't underestimate the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. When she was in her Undying Demon Soul Third Stage, even Vipralopa stage demons could not see her true powers."

"With the numerous restrictions around her, she was still able to establish her dominance over parts of the Barren Expanses. That is truly extraordinary."

Yan Mingyue smiled and said, "Master, didn't you almost force her to reveal herself before?"

Yan Mingyue and Yun Yuanzhen were as close as mother and daughter. It was okay for them to occasionally poke fun at each other.

However, while Yan Mingyue appeared to be joking, her expression was extremely serious.

Yun Yuanzhen was not annoyed that her disciple was poking fun at her. Instead, she smiled and said, "While this is something rather regretful, if she had revealed her true form, I may not be able to retreat unscathed. Even with the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, it is likely that you would have another master. That was how dangerous the situation was."

While she said it casually, Yan Mingyue was unable to relax. Neither would she underestimate her master. She knew that Yun Yuanzhen was aware that the situation was extremely perilous when she challenged Fate that time.

Courage without knowledge is brashness. However, to advance forward even though one was aware of the dangers ahead, that was true courage.

Suddenly, Yan Mingyue thought of something as she asked, "Right, master, is Zhou Yuncong, who was kidnapped by the Golden Cicada, still…"

Yun Yuanzhen nodded her head and said, "More or less."

Hearing that, Yan Mingyue sighed, "That's good. It is indeed very coincidental for a Yin-Terminating Entity and a Yang-Incinerating Entity to exist at the same time. However, this means that the incident all those years ago was another seed of hatred."

Then, she smiled in self-deprecating manner and said, "Of course, there are many other seeds of hatred."

Yun Yuanzhen said, "That incident has been buried by time. There isn't much trace of it left. To know the truth, the only possible way is to scour the soul. However, that is the last resort. We shall not resort to that just for a hunch."

"Of course, we should hand this matter over to Daohan. You and I shall not ask about it too much but trust in his decisions."

Yan Mingyue nodded her head, "Yes, master."

The red clouds that formed Yun Yuanzhen's face disappeared. Yan Mingyue stood at her original spot for a while before heading back towards Tianjing City.

At this moment, in the Barren Expanses, Zhou Yuncong, who had been under the protection of Yang Qing's Grand Moon Primordial Water, finally woke up.

Zhuge Zhan, who was chatting with his daughter, saw Zhou Yuncong and was slightly shocked. "Oh, is this whom you spoke of, Wanqiu? Your fellow disciple who is a Yang-Incinerating Entity? It is rare for a Yang-Incinerating Entity to make it through infancy, rare indeed."

Zhuge Wanqiu said with a smile, "When I knew about Junior Zhou, I was shocked too."

When Zhou Yuncong woke up and saw Lin Feng and company, he was stunned. Then, he quickly recovered and looked around him, realizing that he had been rescued.

He bowed to Lin Feng and the rest as his lips fluttered, "Thank you, grandmaster. Thank you master and uncles."

Yang Qing looked at his only disciple. While his expression was calm as always, his gaze was warmer than usual. "Yuncong, you have suffered."

Shi Tianhao smiled and said, "Master has avenged your kidnapping by that old fool. That old bug is probably half-dead right now."

Lin Feng waved his hand and looked at Zhou Yuncong. "Rest well and don't mess up your internal mana."

Zhou Yuncong nodded his head non-stop as he continued to rest under Yang Qing's care.

Lin Feng looked at Zhou Yuncong and another thought rose in his mind, "This thing has far-reaching consequences."

As he thought about it, he continued to lead the group. Soon, they arrived at their destination, the ancestral home of the Phoenix Tribe and the Divine Parasol Tree Tribe.

Earlier, many of them had heard Lin Feng's explanation of the situation. The scene before them was made from both fire-red and milky-white flames. It was as if there was an independent world there. They knew that they had reached their destination.

Lin Feng stood in the void as he sent Wang Lin to represent him.

After a while, the milky-white and blood-red sea of fire split open and a path opened.

Through the sea of fire, one could see a dense forest underneath them. While the branches were green, there were the faint, red glow of fire in the barks that flashed non-stop. It was like the breathing of a human.

No matter how far they were, all of them were taken aback by how big each tree was.

The Cloud Forest Trees that Lin Feng had obtained from the Cloud Forest World were unable to form their demon souls as they could not undergo the Void Lightning Tribulations in the Middle World and ascend into the Undying Demon Soul stage. However, as they had absorbed a massive amount of spiritual energy, they were all gargantuan.

A single tree was higher than a mountain and its canopy covered the sun.

However, in the sea of trees before them, one could even see trees higher than the Cloud Forest Trees.

There were also many smaller trees and together and all the trees formed a gigantic sea of trees. The branches flashed with red light as they intersected with the red-and-white sea of fire surrounding them.

Counting carefully, one would realize that there weren't that many trees. However, because they were too huge and too concentrated, it was enough to shock anyone who saw them. Covering the skies and sun, they were a world unto themselves. It was truly a majestic scene.

Shi Tianhao looked at the Parasol Tree Forest and a look of hunger crossed his eyes. Likewise, Tun Tun had that look too.

Wang Lin, Chu Yang, Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang, Luo Qingwu and the other junior disciples too stared at the scene in admiration.

Lin Feng looked at the scene interestedly and thought, "Amongst the Four Great Strange Trees, the Ginseng Fruit Tree has never been seen by anyone thus far. It is rumored to be extinct. Today, the Saros Steel Trees and the Celestial Jade Trees are rarely found. Only the Divine Parasol Trees can appear in such quantity."

Suddenly, the bright, chirping of phoenix could be heard in the Parasol Tree Forests as a bunch of shadows flew towards Lin Feng.

Chapter 962: Secret Whispers of the Past

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

In the sea of trees before them, one could clearly see that a few of the Parasol Trees were much bigger than the rest.

The biggest few Divine Parasol Trees were not congregated together but separate instead. As they stood in the center of the sea of trees, they appeared to be independent from one another. Yet, at the same time, they appeared to be forming an ancient, mystical formation.

Li Yuanfang looked at the scene and his gaze flashed. A rare look of focus and obsession surfaced in his eyes.

In the center of the Parasol Tree Forest, there was a gigantic tree that was bigger even when compared to his fellow brethren. The Divine Parasol Tree stood in between heaven and earth and was at least ten thousand meters tall. The circumference of that Divine Parasol Tree already occupied a good portion of the entire forest.

Lin Feng stared at the Divine Parasol Tree and nodded his head. Without asking, he knew that was the Parasol Tree King.

The Parasol Tree King had not revealed his true form. If he had done that, then his size would be even more humongous.

Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao and Zhuge Zhan all looked at the gigantic Divine Parasol Tree.

After a while, Wang Lin turned his head over. He had an odd look on his face as he said, "I feel… as if the Parasol Tree King had not yet undergone the Cardinal Tribulations, right? However, why does he exert a bigger pressure on me than a demon such as the Xiangliu Grand Sage?"

Zhu Yi and he possessed the strongest souls among all of Lin Feng's disciples. However, they specialized in different aspects. Wang Lin's soul was powerful and resilient, but it was not as sensitive and intuitive as Zhu Yi's. Hence, there existed significant difference between the two of them.

After they reached the Immortal Soul First Level and their powers increased exponentially, their differences became more pronounced.

The Parasol Tree King was calm and he did not reveal his true form. Nor did he deliberately attempt to show off his demon powers. However, Wang Lin was still able to discover some of his powers.

Shi Tianhao and Zhuge Zhan looked at the giant Divine Parasol Tree and their expressions were deeply contemplative too.

Lin Feng said "Among all humans and demons, other than the Emperor of the Dead who came back from the dead and the Golden Cicada, the Parasol Tree King probably lived the longest. The amount of time he spent on cultivation is measured in the tens of thousands."

"A very long time ago, he was already an Undying Demon Soul Third Level demon. However, no one knows why did he not undergo the Cardinal Tribulations," said Lin Feng. "A few thousand years ago, he met with a calamity and since then, he has yet to recover. Hence, he decided to push this matter back indefinitely."

"When Lin Tong came to the Parasol Tree Forest, she was only able to offer him temporarily relief from his injuries. However, she was unable to cure him completely."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Even so, the Parasol Tree King is extremely powerful and one should not underestimate him. Coupled with his geographical advantage and support from his kind, his powers here are massive indeed."

"However, if he can avoid a fight, the Parasol Tree King will surely avoid it. On one hand, he does not like to fight. On the other hand, any fight with someone of the same level as him will cause his injuries to hurt once more."

"Of course, with the Phoenix Grand Sage around, there was no need for the Parasol Tree King to attack. The Phoenix Tribe and the Divine Parasol Tree Tribe lived together. They are almost a single entity and the Phoenix Grand Sage could use the combined powers of both tribes."

The Phoenix Grand Sage was the leader of the Phoenix Tribe. He was in the Vipralopa stage and one of the most powerful demons of the Barren Expanses.

As he said that, one could hear the clear chirps of phoenix from the Parasol Tree Forest. With that, a few figures flew out to welcome Lin Feng and company.

The first one was a green phoenix whose entire body was green like jade without any imperfection. The phoenix had the head of a chicken, the beak of a swallow, the neck of a snake, the back of a tortoise and the tail of a fish. Around the phoenix, five-colored lights shone. The phoenix was not big and it was only about six inches tall.

However, looking at the five-colored light around the green phoenix, Lin Feng and the rest knew that this phoenix had started the Cardinal Tribulations.

Earlier, he had only seen the Fei Ye Grand Sage and the Black Jade Phoenix, who were surrounded by only gold light. Only by undergoing the Cardinal Tribulations would a phoenix obtain the five-colored light.

By completing the Cardinal Tribulation and achieving the Vipralopa stage, regardless whether the phoenix was red, green or black, its body would turn reddish-gold and be surrounded by the five-colored light.

In this aspect, they were similar to the Immemorial Celestial Dragons. However, the two types of demons still had many differences.

Behind the Green Phoenix Grand Sage, Lin Feng recognized familiar faces. He saw the red phoenix, the Fei Ye Grand Sage, and the Black Jade Phoenix.

It was worth mentioning that the Black Jade Phoenix had formed its Undying Demon Soul and should now be referred to as the Black Jade Grand Sage.

When the Green Phoenix Grand Sage saw Lin Feng, it bowed its head and said, "I am the green phoenix, Cangyuan. Greetings, Master of the Celestial Sect."

The Fei Ye Grand Sage and the Black Jade Grand Sage bowed too, "Hope you are well, Master of the Celestial Sect."

Lin Feng smiled and bowed and said, "Thank you for hosting me."

"Here, Master of the Celestial Sect, follow me," said the Green Phoenix Grand Sage as it turned around to lead the way. Lin Feng and the rest followed him while the Fei Ye Grand Sage and the Black Jade Grand Sage flew by the two sides of the entourage.

While Lin Feng joked that he would leave Shi Tianhao and Tun Tun outside, it was nothing more than a mere joke. Shi Tianhao and Tun Tun followed them and two of them were on their best behavior as they followed obediently behind Lin Feng. All they did was to look excitedly at their surroundings.

While the Parasol Tree Forest appeared calm, endless amount of demonic powers, which were as vast as the sky and the sea and boundless, could be felt. However, the demonic powers were not ferocious or violent. Instead, they appeared pure, clear and otherworldly.

The group of them followed the Green Phoenix Grand Sage as they arrived before the biggest tree in the center of the Parasol Tree Forest. The tree branches shook gently and then, a tall, old and elegant man appeared.

The old man clasped his hands together in the direction of Lin Feng as he said with a smile, "Your old friend, the Green Parasol Tree Jingfang, greets you, Master of the Celestial Sect. I have to thank you for bringing little Lin Tong along the previous time. She really did help me recover quite a bit."

The old man was the leader of the Divine Parasol Trees, the Parasol Tree King.

Rays of light appeared behind the Parasol Tree King and turned into humans. Some were middle-aged, and some were younger. All were dressed like scholars. They were the light projections that the many surrounding Divine Parasol Trees projected with their demon powers. Standing behind the Parasol Tree King, they clasped their hands together to greet Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled and returned the gesture, "Thank you Parasol Tree King for your hospitality. It is the will of heaven that Lin Tong should emerge from the belly of the Kun Peng. All I did was to try my best. The ceremony too was beneficial for Lin Tong as well and our sect obtained the Pure Yang Primordial Fire through it. We should be thanking you instead."

"There's no need to thank us, Master of the Celestial Sect," said a clear voice from the canopy of the Parasol Tree King. Then, a five-colored light shone and descended next to the Parasol Tree King's human projection.

It was a female phoenix whose entire body was red and gold. She shone with a five-colored light.

Unlike the Green Phoenix Grand Sage, there appeared to words carved on this female phoenix's red-and-gold body.

On her head, there was the word 'virtue'. On her wings, there was the word 'compliance'. On her back, there was the word 'righteousness'. On her belly, there was the word 'trust'. On her chest, there was the word 'compassion'.

While these words were not written in the human language, Lin Feng was able to understand them just by looking at them.

A red-and-gold body with the five words carved over her body. At the same time, her body shone with five-colored light. It was evidently a Vipralopa stage phoenix.

There was only one phoenix in that stage, and that was the Phoenix Grand Sage.

After the two of them exchanged greetings, the Phoenix Grand Sage and the Parasol Tree King showed Lin Feng and the rest to their seats.

In response to Lin Feng's feud with the dragons, the Phoenix took the neutral ground. To what they knew, the Red Dragon King sought to prevent Lin Feng from obtaining the Celestial Mountain Yingzhou. In a fair fight between the two sides, the Red Dragon King was unable to beat Lin Feng and hence, he was killed. The dragons sought revenge on Lin Feng for this, and rightfully so. Both sides were blameless in this aspect and hence, the best way to settle it would be for the two sides to fight it out based on their abilities.

However, the Phoenix Tribe and the Divine Parasol Tree Tribe were rather critical of Lin Feng's decision to cultivate the body of the Red Dragon King into the Thunder Dragon Avatar. However, this did not affect their ties.

Regardless whether it was the Phoenix Grand Sage or the Parasol Tree King, both were upright and spoke their minds directly. Lin Feng smiled slightly and did not attempt to argue with them. This concerned the different customs and rites of different tribes and hence, any further discussion was fruitless.

If a human died at the hands of the Phoenix Grand Sage of the Parasol Tree King, he might still be afforded a proper burial. However, if he were to die at the hands of the dragons or other demons, then he would be eaten.

The Phoenix Grand Sage and the Parasol Tree King did not say much about this too.

After they talked for a while, Lin Feng started to talk about the main topic. He told them his purpose for coming. However, he communicated to them telepathically so only the Parasol Tree King and the Phoenix Grand Sage could hear him.

"Forgive me for asking and I hope that you will answer me truthfully," said Lin Feng to the Parasol Tree King, "Do you remember who was the one who inflicted the calamity on you all those years ago?"

"I know that this question is sudden but it's important. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

The Phoenix Grand Sage looked at the Parasol Tree King for a while and both fell silent. After a long while, the Parasol Tree King sighed and said, "This may make you laugh, but till today I cannot ascertain who did it."

Lin Feng's pupils shrunk as he looked at the Parasol Tree King, who nodded. The Phoenix Grand Sage said, "I was not in the Parasol Tree Forest then and the opponent came too suddenly. Hence, Jingfang was injured. The opponent was surrounded by a dense fog and hence, we could not see his true face. Furthermore, we do not possess any special ability to force our opponents to reveal themselves and hence, we could not see through him."

She knew what Lin Feng was thinking and shook her head before continuing, "It is not the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage of the Barren Expanses. While the two of them seemed similar, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage only emerged after the last War of the Two Worlds. She only entered the Vipralopa stage recently."

Lin Feng said quietly, "Even if she appeared before the war, it was highly unlikely that she could have injured Daoist Parasol Tree King in the Parasol Tree Forest without revealing her true form."

"However, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Sirius, Sha Yu, are fellow disciples. Hence, they must have a master."

The Phoenix Grand Sage lowered her head slightly and said, "I have the same hunch too. Hence, all these years, while I remain in the Parasol Tree Forest, I have asked Cangyuan to look for the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. However, her movement was mysterious and hard to track and hence, I did not obtain much information."

The Parasol Tree King said quietly, "The person then was extremely powerful. Furthermore, he knew a great deal about the Parasol Tree Forest as he was able to break through many of our seals."

"While the phoenix went out, only I remained in the Parasol Tree Forest. After I had faced off against the person, if not for what happened afterwards, I may have died."

"Oh?" Lin Feng's gaze flashed as he stared at the Parasol Tree King.

Chapter 963: Lin Feng Confirms His Suspicions

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"What happened next?" Lin Feng asked as he stared at the Parasol Tree King.

The Parasol Tree King nodded his head and said slowly, "Xuehua, a member of the Hades Tribe, helped me to defeat him."

Lin Feng said nothing but he furrowed his brows tightly. He had heard of Xuehua of the Hades Tribe.

Many years ago, when the Hades Emperor, Tianhai, ruled the Barren Expanses, the Hades Tribe became the most powerful tribe in the Barren Expanses. Other than the Hades Emperor himself, there was another powerful member of the Hades Tribe known as Xuehua.

Normally speaking, she was referred to as the Xuehua Grand Sage in the Vipralopa stage. Legend had it that she was the sister of the Hades Emperor.

However, the Xuehua Grand Sage fell during the last War of the Two Worlds.

Lin Feng fell silent before he said, "To what I know, the Phoenix Tribe and the Divine Parasol Tree Tribe did not participate in the last War of the Two Worlds."

The Phoenix Grand Sage nodded her head and said, "That's right."

Lin Feng stared at the Phoenix Grand Sage and the Parasol Tree King. According to the morals of the Phoenix and the Divine Parasol Trees, they would normally repay kindness in kind. While they might not want to be embroiled in a war between the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses, if the Xuehua Grand Sage had asked, the Phoenix Grand Sage and the Parasol Tree King would not have rejected.

The Phoenix Grand Sage said nothing. Her expression was calm and there was no visible sign of distress from her. While she appeared normal, Lin Feng could feel a sense of scorn from her.

By her side, the Parasol Tree King sighed and continued, "When the Hades Emperor ruled the Barren Expanses, he conquered all demons. While the Divine Parasol Tree Tribe hid ourselves away, he did not forget about us."

"However, regardless whether it was the phoenix or me, we both did not want to participate in the war against the Divine Lands. Hence, we kindly rejected the Hades Emperor's request."

"The Phoenix and the Divine Parasol Trees are truly exceptional if you can make the Hades Emperor go back empty-handed."

The Parasol Tree King shook his head and sighed, "Please don't make fun of us, Master of the Celestial Sect. The power of the Hades Emperor was extraordinary indeed. Even if the two of us joined forces, we could only hope to take him down with our lives."

For the phoenix and the Divine Parasol Trees, this was a normal reaction. They would rather die than submit and they would never submit to threats. They did not fear facing extinction.

However…

Lin Feng arched his eyebrows and asked, "I don't think the Hades Emperor would give up so easily. Wouldn't he have forced your submission?"

The Parasol Tree King nodded his head and said, "The Phoenix Grand Sage was a close friend of the Xuehua Grand Sage. Hence, the Hades Emperor was not too forceful. Our Parasol Tree Forest was hence saved from destruction."

"Afterwards, as we were grateful to the Xuehua Grand Sage for the assistance she rendered, the Phoenix eventually decided to join her in the subsequent War of the Two Worlds. When the battle began, I was still injured and hence, I remained behind."

Here, the Parasol Tree King shook his head and said, "However, it was a trap."

"The Hades, Xuehua, actually had ties to the person who attacked me!"

Hearing that, Lin Feng was shocked as he said, "Is that so?"

The Parasol Tree King said, "When the War of the Two Worlds broke out, before the phoenix attacked, I had obtained this piece of news. I tested it out and while there were still unanswered questions, I knew that we were tricked. Hence, the phoenix quickly returned to the Parasol Tree Forest and did not participate in the war."

Lin Feng looked at the Phoenix Grand Sage who was silent and then shook his head and laughed, "While my knowledge of the Hades Emperor is superficial, that was completely unlike his usual way of doing things. It is likely that the Xuehua Grand Sage helped him with it and came up with this plan."

The Parasol Tree King sighed and said, "Regardless whether it's the Hades Emperor or Xuehua, both are dead. There's no point in mentioning this anymore."

Lin Feng shook his head and said nothing. To him, understanding the intrigue in it all was extremely useful.

The mysterious master of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage could not only be linked to the Xuehua Grand Sage, but it could also possibly involve the entire Hades Tribe. The difference in significance between the two theories was vast.

If she knew members of the entire Hades Tribe and even the Hades Emperor, then it could confirm a suspicious Lin Feng had.

If she only knew the Xuehua Grand Sage, then the situation would be completely different.

Lin Feng looked at the Parasol Tree King and the Phoenix Grand Sage and said, "Forgive me as I still have one more question, but I'm curious, how did you, the Phoenix Grand Sage, find out?"

The Phoenix Grand Sage replied, "Through the Divine Lands."

Lin Feng nodded his head and said nothing.

The human cultivators of the Divine Lands naturally did not want the Phoenix and Divine Parasol Tree to take part in the War of the Two Worlds.

However, their information was certainly reliable. After all, the Phoenix Grand Sage would not be easily convinced by a few words. She would surely need confirmation and evidence.

As expected, the Phoenix Grand Sage continued, "The person who intruded into the Parasol Tree Forest was later injured by human cultivators. With the help of the Xuehua Grand Sage, he was able to escape."

"As he was injured, he left some clues behind. This allowed the human cultivators to discover the truth about what had happened in the Parasol Tree Forest. This was how the information reached me."

"According to the information, he was severely injured and no one knew if he was dead or alive. However, I did not know much about the specifics."

After the War of the Two Worlds, as the Parasol Tree King was injured, the Phoenix Grand Sage rarely left the Parasol Tree Forest. However, the phoenix continued to investigate what had happened all those years ago. Even though they only obtained scraps of information here and there, they managed to obtain many important information.

She looked at Lin Feng and nodded her head and said, "I don't know how powerful the opponent was, but he definitely had ties with Xuehua. Whether or not the opponent had ties with the entire Hades Tribe and the Hades Emperor, that I do not know."

Hearing that, Lin Feng arched his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.

If what the Phoenix Grand Sage said was true, then it appeared that this person, who might have ties with the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, was better known in the Divine Lands amongst humans.

However, there was no such information from the Divine Lands.

To what Lin Feng knew, not even the Great Void Sect knew anything about the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage's true self.

Furthermore, it appeared as if no one from the Divine Lands knew about the person who had injured the Parasol Tree King. It was as if he had never existed.

If the Great Void Sect did not know about it, then who was the one who told the Phoenix Grand Sage?

"The Great Thunderclap Temple…" A name that had almost faded into obscurity surfaced in Lin Feng's mind. "If that's the case, then there's a reason why the final battleground of the Hades Emperor was at the Great Thunderclap Temple."

"From this, I can know that the person who intruded into the Parasol Tree Forest all those years ago was not only linked to Xuehua, but the entire Hades Tribe including the Hades Emperor."

Lin Feng sighed and thought, "If that's the case, then my guess is confirmed. While there are many things I don't know, I am sure they will slowly reveal themselves…"

He shook his head and laughed, "Ha, it is still half a lead, half a lead. There are still many things that are unclear. However, I already have enough information before me."

Lin Feng calmed himself and clasped his hands at the Phoenix Grand Sage and the Parasol Tree King and said, "My questions were abrupt today. Thank you for clarifying my doubts."

The Phoenix Grand Sage and the Parasol Tree King shook their heads and said, "It's alright."

After chatting for a while more, Lin Feng invited the Phoenix Grand Sage and the Parasol Tree King to Mount Yujing. Then, he brought Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao and company away from the Parasol Tree Forest.

After they left the ancestral home of the Phoenix and the Divine Parasol Trees, Lin Feng was in deep thought as they flew in mid-air.

Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao and the rest looked at each other. When Lin Feng talked to the Parasol Tree King and the Phoenix Grand Sage, he did so telepathically and hence, they could not listen.

"What did master talk about with the Phoenix Grand Sage and the Parasol Tree King?" Luo Qingwu asked curiously.

Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao, Li Yuanfang and Yang Qing shook their heads. They too did not know how to answer her question.

Lin Feng retracted his thoughts and smiled at his disciples, "Nothing much, I went there to have some of my suspicions clarified, and I was given even more things to think about."

While he did have more questions, Lin Feng's expression was calm and neutral. Looking at it, Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao and the rest knew that the situation was not important.

Shi Tianhao smiled and looked at Zhuge Zhan, who was with Zhuge Wanqiu and said, "What are your plans, Mr Zhuge?"

Zhuge Zhan clasped his hands at Lin Feng and Shi Tianhao and said, "I have attained my objective for entering the Void Battleground. Subsequently, I don't plan on running around anymore. Instead, I want to spend time with my daughter."

Shi Tianhao said, "Normally, we are fine with allowing Wanqiu to leave the mountain and travel together with you. However, this time, when she returns to the mountain, she has to do closed-door training till she forms her core."

"While it's fine for Mr Zhuge to look after her during that period, she is ultimately still a disciple of our sect. It is best for I, as her master, to look after her while she forms her core. This is more beneficial."

Zhuge Zhan nodded his head and said, "I understand."

Zhuge Wanqiu could naturally switch over to cultivating his Divine Light of the Sun Mantra and he would be placed in charge of her core formation. However, Zhuge Zhan was very content and happy with the entire Celestial Sect of Wonders. Today, since his daughter had spent much time cultivating under Shi Tianhao, he had no intention of asking her to change.

He too had witnessed the powers of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Even he, a naturally arrogant and wild person, was in awe.

Furthermore, his daughter got along well with her fellow disciples. She had made many good friends, unlike him who struggled to make even an acquaintance. Zhuge Zhan was unwilling to separate his daughter from her friends.

However, he was still unwilling to say goodbye to his daughter after not seeing her for so long.

He thought for a while and then clasped his hands and said seriously to Lin Feng, "Master Lin, I have an unreasonable request and I hope that you would permit it."

Chapter 964: Zhu Yi's Mirror Lake Knowledge Palace

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Zhuge Zhan said seriously to Lin Feng, "Master Lin, I hope to obtain a place to rest on your mountain. Would you permit it?"

With his personality, it was unlikely that he sought to take advantage of the Celestial Sect of Wonder's current power. To him, freedom was always better than submitting to a particular sect. Today, he suddenly changed his mind because not only did he admire the way the Celestial Sect of Wonder did things, he also could not bear saying goodbye to his daughter again.

Hearing that, Lin Feng smiled and said, "There's no need to be so formal, Daoist Zhuge. If you wish to stay on my mountain, then you shall be treated as a guest."

"You can do what you want and there will be very few rules constraining your actions."

Zhuge Zhan replied, "Thank you, Master Lin, for your magnanimity. I know my own personality the best. However, since I am going to be living with your sect, I will abide by the rules. If you have any request, feel free to tell me."

"My daughter is a member of your sect and hence, you will continue to require guidance and instruction from her masters and fellow disciples. I apologize for the inconvenience"

Lin Feng said, "There's no need for apologies. Ever since Wanqiu joined our sect, I and her master shall ensure that she is safe and well."

Zhuge Wanqiu looked at her father as they journeyed back to Mount Yujing. While she was elated, she was also slightly embarrassed.

Fortunately, while Han Yang, Huang Zhenting and Tan Yunqing were shocked that her father was a Immortal Soul Third Level cultivator, they did not show any other emotions to her other than surprise and shock. They treated her as per normal.

When Huang Zhenting realized that Zhuge Zhan would be returning to the mountain with them, he appeared delighted. Everyone else stared at him strangely.

Han Yang extended his palm and waved it in front of Huang Zhenting and asked, "Senior Huang, what's wrong with you?"

Huang Zhenting chuckled, "Ying Luozha has been bugging Senior Wanqiu all this while. His personality is too strong and Senior Wanqiu is too gentle. Earlier, I was worried that she may agree to be his girlfriend. If she had agreed, then she may be bullied by him."

"Right now, however, it looks like I have nothing to worry about. Ying Luozha may not even be able to convince Mr Zhuge right now, hahahaha!"

As he looked at Huang Zhenting laughing, Han Yang stared at him in scorn and said nothing.

When Tan Yunqing heard that, his lips twitched too. He did not know what to say.

The two of them shook their heads as they ignored Huang Zhenting, who appeared to be in his own, happy world. They continued to sit cross-legged, cultivate and uncover the secrets of their sect's teaching while summarizing what they had learnt through their experience in the Barren Expanses.

Not only did they all benefit a great deal, by experiencing the battle against the Choucheng Tribe and Lu Yuan Grand Sage's Heaven-Carrying Ant avatars, they all appeared to have obtained new realizations as the bottleneck around their cultivation level loosened.

Furthermore, when they witnessed their own master, and their grandmaster, Lin Feng, battle against the demons, their horizons were further widened.

Even though they were unable to understand many things with their current mastery, what they had learnt thus far would give them food for thought for a long while.

As they left the Parasol Tree Forest, Lin Feng brought the group of them through the Barren Expanses and back into the Divine Lands.

The objective of their journey had been met. Lin Feng too needed to sort through his many rewards and information. There were some that he could obtain immediately and there were others that he needed more time to think through. For example, the gate into the Starry Sea required him to sit down and think through it carefully.

That battle had established a name for Lin Feng in the Barren Expanses. On the way back, no one dared to stop them.

The only powerful demon that Lin Feng could faintly feel was the Heavenly Master Grand Sage of the Ancient Ape Demons.

However, the Heavenly Master Grand Sage kept his silence as Lin Feng traversed from the Barren Expanses to the Divine Lands through the inter-world passage.

Lin Feng knew what he was thinking.

As he played with the broken shard from the Golden Cicada's plate, Lin Feng smiled slightly. The plate was an item from the Emperor of Extremity, Shenyuan, and after it split into five, the Heavenly Master Grand Sage obtained two pieces. Lin Feng, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage each obtained one piece. Of course, the Heavenly Master Grand Sage hoped that he could gather all the pieces together.

However, the Heavenly Master Grand Sage was very clear about Lin Feng's current power. Right now, if he were to leave the Lingyuan Mountains, he would be unable to deal with Lin Feng alone. All he could do was to watch as Lin Feng returned to the Divine Lands.

On the way back to the Divine Lands, Lin Feng plucked at his eyebrows and thought, "The Origins Celestial Dragon did not come in the end…"

Lin Feng shook his head, "Then, Great Void Sect, it's up to you. However, I don't think you will achieve much success unless you bring the Supreme Heavenly Mirror into the Black Sea."

"Everyone is fighting for time," laughed Lin Feng softly. Soon, the Southern Wilderness of the Divine Lands appeared before him as he cut through the void and re-entered the Divine Lands.

However, he quickly stopped as he stared in the east. After he did a sweep with his supernatural awareness, his stared intently and thought, "Space does not appear as stable as before."

Lin Feng's expression was calm as he said, "When the Heaven-Destroying Sword was formed, the Netherworld Sea appeared to have been disturbed…"

The Netherworld Sea, amongst the Grand Celestial Seven Seas, was completely sealed off. It was not connected to the Great World but dimensional splits would open at times.

Normally, the openings into the Netherworld Sea were never fixed. However, they normally appeared in the Southern Wilderness of the Divine Lands, where Lin Fang was located.

Lin Feng stared at his surroundings for a while longer before retracting his gaze and heading back to the Kunlun Mountains.

When he reached the Kunlun Mountains, Mount Yujing responded to his psychic commands and appeared. It floated above the clouds and looked down at the Yun Peak Mirror Lake and the Cloud Mirror City.

When they heard news of his return, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Yue Hongyan and the rest rushed out to welcome Lin Feng back.

Lin Feng swept through his gaze and realized that Zhu Yi did not come down from the mountain but instead, he came from the Yun Peak Mirror Lake near the Cloud Mirror City.

After not seeing them for a while, Lin Feng discovered to his surprise that there was a patch of land next to the Mirror Lake and about 30 li away from the Cloud Mirror City. There, one could see a huge, palatial compound.

The compound occupied a vast amount of land. While it was not as big as the Cloud Mirror City, it was still very majestic as it resembled a small castle.

Lin Feng looked at Zhu Yi and said with a smile, "Zhu Yi, is this the Mirror Lake Knowledge Palace?"

Zhu Yi nodded his head and said seriously, "Yes, master."

Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao looked interestedly at the giant palatial compound.

In the Barren Expanses, Zhu Yi told Lin Feng that he wanted to open a school next to the Mirror Lake. Lin Feng permitted him to do so and said that he had free reign. Wang Lin and the rest knew about it, but not as much as Lin Feng.

Today, as they looked at the Mirror Lake Knowledge Palace, everyone was interested.

Shi Tianhao asked curiously, "Second Senior, what do they teach in the Knowledge Palace? What kind of disciples does it take in? If they are disciples, why don't we just let them go through the Heart-Revealing Steps straightaway?"

Zhu Yi said with a slight smile, "This isn't a place to teach them mantras and spells. Instead, this is a place where all knowledge could be taught and disseminated."

"Oh?" Shi Tianhao was stunned. Wang Lin and the rest looked over at Zhu Yi as they waited for an explanation.

Zhu Yi said passionately, "While I cultivate the Dao all these years, I also tried to simplify it down to its essence as I hope that the people of the world could cultivate themselves and understand the truth instead of wandering through their lives aimlessly. Right now, I am able to make some progress and I too learnt much through the experience."

"Master often taught us that there are both big and small paths in life. Everything in the universe exists for a reason. Hence, with this as my guide, I hope to one day combine both the many Daoist mantras and manuals that I have studied and derived their principles from within."

"While it is only a thought right now, but I believe that as more and more people obtain knowledge that they can use in their lives, they would become increasingly independent and self-reliant. For everyone in the world, this is something beneficial."

"The true Dao is the blossoming of human civilization."

Luo Qingwu looked at the huge knowledge palace as she listened to Zhu Yi's words. She paused and after a while, she asked, "Senior Zhu Yi, according to what you said, this knowledge palace is no ordinary mortal school where they recite from the books and occasionally indulge the students in horse-riding and archery, right?" (Translator's Note: Horse-riding and archery ancient Chinese scholars were expected to indulge in to become a 'junzi' (gentleman)).

Zhu Yi smiled slightly and said, "The knowledge a scholar should possess will naturally be present. But that's not all."

He pointed to the majestic Mirror Lake Knowledge Palace and said, "Not only must one investigate the truth behind knowledge, one also could not blindly depend on book knowledge. One learn to use, that's the truth in it."

"According to my plan, strategy, economics, military science, law, history, literature, music, astronomy, geography, arithmetic, medicine, agriculture, mechanics, craftsmanship and business shall all be taught here."

"Literati who only know how to talk big and look down on other professions do not deserve to be called literati. All they can be called is clumsy bookworms with no life skill."

"The sage says everyone can be taught. While people are different from one another, some are good in one aspect while others are good in another aspect and we should maximize everyone's potential. That's the main difference between my knowledge palace and mortal schools."

Wang Lin looked at the knowledge palace and said with a smile, "Had I not become a cultivator, I may have ended up as a carpenter."

When the others heard that, they laughed. Zhu Yi chuckled, "It's better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish."

"For example, while people like us can easily call upon a rain to help alleviate droughts, this may breed dependence on us by the mortals. Hence, what's the point in that?"

"A person must always depend on himself and better himself."

"My knowledge palace seeks to recruit talents everywhere. Through non-stop research in areas such as waterworks and agriculture, we shall then recruit interested people everywhere and teach them these skills. Once they bring their skills back to their home, they would be able to improve their living environment. While the benefits are long-term, we have to start work now."

Zhu Yi said, "Actually, I really have not done much. The Mirror Lake Knowledge Palace is just a shell right now. There isn't enough students and teachers. However, I believe that as time passes, it will get better and better."

"I have already started spreading word of it and many have joined my cause. I too intend to study a bit of everything. When everything is ready, I assure you that it will be much better." Here, Zhu Yi started to laugh once more as he said, "Other than that, I intend to bring my disciples to the Mirror Lake Knowledge Palace for training too."

Chapter 965: To Benefit the Mortals

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"I hope that those under you can understand your intentions," said Xiao Yan with a laugh. "I will naturally tell my own disciples about this. However, whether they want to join, it's up to them."

Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao, Yue Hongyan, Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu all smiled and nodded their heads.

Yang Qing looked at the Mirror Lake Knowledge Palace and said softly, "Second Senior, while we are friendly with the Great Qin Empire, the Purple Clouds Sect, the Royal House of the Northern Tribes and some other powers, the world is large indeed and even for cultivators like us, we find it hard to traverse through the land. If ordinary mortals wish to come here, then they may find it extremely difficult as well."

Zhu Yi nodded his head and said, "Fifth Junior is right. Hence, I intend to place the knowledge palace to the north of the Kunlun Mountains. Those who wished to come can journey to Shazhou City, where I have arranged for people to transport these learners to the Cloud Mirror City."

"When the Mirror Lake Knowledge Palace starts to develop properly, then we can change its location to somewhere else outside. Then, it shall establish campuses all over the Divine Lands and benefit all mankind."

Zhu Yi pointed to the Mirror Lake Knowledge Palace and said with a smile, "Earlier, I talked about using knowledge in our daily lives. This knowledge palace is one such example. In its development, if there's any problem, I shall rectify it and hence, with this experience, adjust my plans."

"If I were to push ahead blindly, then I run the risk of confusing the students. That won't be good."

Zhu Yi said, "I will focus on it for now. Once it obtains preliminary success, I will talk about expansion."

Lin Feng said with a smile, "Zhu Yi, go ahead with it. While this may appear insignificant to cultivators, it will benefit the mortals."

Zhu Yi smiled and bowed to Lin Feng and said, "I will try my best."

As the group of them ascended up Mount Yujing, they arranged for Zhuge Zhan and the more junior disciples to rest first. Then, Lin Feng's gaze turned to Chu Yang as he asked suddenly, "What do you think of the teachings of the Blood River Sect?"

Chu Yang replied politely, "There are some unique traits to it. I am only able to learn a bit."

Lin Feng stared at him, smiled and nodded his head, "Your mind is still clear. Good, you can take your leave now. The next time you come, I permit you to observe and learn from the Cang Heaven Spell Blade."

Chu Yang bowed and said, "Thank you for your generosity."

As he said that, he left the mountain.

After Chu Yang left the mountain, Xiao Yan and the rest gathered before Lin Feng as they started to talk.

As they spoke, Xiao Yan thought of something as he asked Lin Feng, "Oh yes, master, Mr Miao hasn't stopped his closed-door training for the Immortal Soul stage."

Ever since his return from the Ying Sea, Miao Shihao was conducting his own closed-door training as he had obtained the Semi-Round Jade Disc. He gave away most of his possessions in the sect and entered the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World. Since then, there had been no news of him.

According to time in the Greater World, almost two years had passed. The total amount of time Miao Shihao had spent doing cultivation in his own abode and in the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World should add up to more than 100 years.

During the Anti-Celestial Sect War, Miao Shihao did nothing even as many enemies surrounded Mount Yujing.

No one in the Celestial Sect of Wonders was very surprised that he had been doing closed-door training for more than 100 years. Everyone knew how difficult it was to become an Immortal Soul stage cultivator. Shi Tianhao and Lin Daohan were amongst the rare minority.

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and Wang Lin had help from the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation. However, they too spent much time in the Advanced Nascent Core stage and they were only able to achieve such results through having a strong foundation.

However, Shi Tianhao had formed his cosmic form in the Void Battleground and ascended into the Advanced Nascent Soul stage. After patiently cultivating for a while, he was then able to become the youngest Immortal Soul stage in history.

No one knew when would one experience a bottleneck during cultivation. There were many cultivators who experienced a bottleneck in their Advanced Nascent Soul stage and could only watch helplessly as they reached the end of their 3600 years lifespan.

However, Miao Shihao himself said that with help from Semi-Round Jade Disc, it would no longer be difficult for him to ascend into the Immortal Soul stage. Now, it appeared that it was not as easy as it seemed. Hence, it caught the attention of the sect.

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "He did not overestimate himself. When he entered the Ying Sea, I've noticed that he was only a step away from the Immortal Soul stage. After he obtained the Semi-Round Jade Disc, it is akin to him walking on a flat road."

"It is actually a good thing that he is taking so long to succeed."

Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi exchanged a gaze as they asked, "Oh? What do you mean?"

Lin Feng stared at the top of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, which led into the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World as he said plainly, "He probably had other takeaways during his closed-door training. That is good for him."

Yue Hongyan thought for a while and then said, "Master, I am still some distance away from the Immortal Soul stage. Why not I give my Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation to Mr Miao?"

Because of the limited number of Starry Purplish Grass Pill, Xiao Yan was only able to form a few Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation during his first time. Furthermore, this was after his pill-cultivation skills had improved and he had wasted minimal ingredients.

Speaking about that, had the crucible blown up or the entire batch of Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation failed, Xiao Yan may have jumped off Mount Yujing in depression.

The first batch of Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation contained only 6 pills. He, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao each took one to great effect during the Anti-Celestial Sect War.

The remaining two pills were given to Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing, both of whom were in their Nascent Soul stage to be used in the future. Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu, both of whom had yet to form their nascent souls, did not object.

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "Shihao is able to break through the bottleneck. If my suspicion is correct, as long as he wishes, he can probably ascend into the Immortal Soul stage soon after his closed-door training."

"There must be another reason why he dragged it all the way till now."

Lin Feng thought about for a while more and gently flicked with his finger as a ray of light appeared before Yue Hongyan, who rushed to take it.

She looked curiously at the light in the center of her palms as she sensed its power. She looked surprised as she said, "This appears to be a Buddhist light. However, there seems to be another power within it."

Lin Feng said, "This is the information that the Golden Cicada wished to obtain by kidnapping Yuncong. To him, this information is like the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation. I believe this information will greatly benefit Miao Shihao.

"Hongyan, enter the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World and pass this item to him. Then, come back. Everyone, take a look at the information later please."

Hearing that, Yue Hongyan bowed and said, "Yes, master." With that, she kicked off and turned into a gleam of light as she flew towards the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World on top of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and entered it.

After a while, she returned. Lin Feng flicked with his finger and six rays of light entered his disciples' head.

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest studied the information carefully as they looked at the silent but terrifying Death Sea. Then, they looked at the image of the shattered Supreme Yin-Yang Mirror. They were all silent for a long while.

"Master…" Zhu Yi exchanged a glance with Yang Qing and then looked at Lin Feng and asked, "When we met Yuncong…"

Lin Feng said, "I know, you know too right?"

Everyone nodded their heads and Luo Qingwu sighed, "None of us knows that it will turn out like this."

Then, her expression changed as she asked, "Wait, does this mean that…"

She lifted her head to look at Lin Feng. Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest did the same. Looking at this, Lin Feng smiled and said, "You are more or less right."

Everyone's expression turned strange.

Lin Feng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, you are dismissed. Wang Lin, Tianhao, Yang Qing, Yuanfang and Qingwu, go back and rest and think about what you have learned. Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and Hongyan, don't slacken too. After a while, I will test you lot."

The group of disciples all bowed and took their leave. Lin Feng slowly walked to the edge of Mount Yujing as he looked into the distance and said nothing.

After a long while, he retracted his gaze. He then suppressed the White Tiger Grand Sage, the Cang Heaven Spell Blade and the Lu Yuan Grand Sage whom he had captured as he started to sort through his loot from the Barren Expanses.

The door to the Starry Sea had been cultivated by the White Tiger Grand Sage into his own body. Hence, Lin Feng did no plan on killing him anytime soon. However, he still needed time to find out how could he take out the door from his body without killing him.

He obtained the alms bowl of the Buddha from the Golden Cicada and the broken pieces of the plate from the Emperor of Extremity. He was in no rush to find out what could these items do as they all required more time for him to dissect.

Amongst the remaining few objects, the most valuable one was the dragon claw from the Earth Dragon King.

This was a claw of a real Immemorial Celestial Dragon in his Vipralopa stage. The worth of the single claw was higher than the entire corpse of the Zu'e Grand Sage.

However, Lin Feng was not sure if he should feel the claw to his Thunder Dragon Blade, or should he fuse it together with his magic treasure the Holy Dragon Heavenly Armor.

The blood of the Yu'ao Dragon King was extremely useful for human cultivators who wished to improve their physical strength. To members of his tribe, like Baiguang, it was even more valuable. However, not every could use the blood of an Undying Demon Soul Third Level White Jade Dragon.

The flesh and blood from the Earth Dragon King's exploded tail too required processing.

In the subsequent days, Lin Feng continued to train his disciples while he arranged the loot he obtained from his voyage into the Barren Expanses.

Not only did he benefit materially, he also benefitted in terms of skills.

Killing and capturing so many demons allowed Lin Feng to better understand his powers.

Other than that, he also hosted many people who came to congratulate him on his success.

At the same time, news from the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses were collected and sent to Mount Yujing as per normal.

Soon, Lin Feng obtained a piece of information that he had been expecting. After his adventures in the Barren Expanses, the Great Void Sect started to act too.

Chapter 966: The Stir Caused by a Demon Who Passed his Second Tribulation

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Earth Dragon King and the Azure Sky Dragon King were severely injured by Lin Feng and the Zu'e Grand Sage was killed. Under these circumstances, the Origins Dragon King continued to reside in the Black Sea and he did not come out.

This was not how the dragons usually did things.

In terms of style, the Origins Dragon King was no gentler than the Earth Dragon King.

Under these circumstances, regardless whether it's the Celestial Sect of Wonders or the Great Void Sect, both believed that the Origins Dragon King was in the midst of doing something right now.

The most possible explanation was that this Vipralopa stage demon was finally confident enough, after many years of practice, of challenging the Second Tribulation of Destiny, The Great Calamity!

The worst-case scenario was that the Origins Dragon King had successfully passed the Second Tribulation of Destiny and was now recovering.

After Lin Feng returned to the Divine Lands carried out a series of actions targeted at the dragons of the Black Sea.

However, the Great Void Sect themselves did not enter the Black Sea. Instead, their targets were set in the Purple Mist Sea.

The Purple Mist Sea was under the jurisdiction of the Purple Sea Dragon King. For the dragons who lived in the Black Sea, it was their door to the outside world in the Barren Expanses. Normally, the Purple Sea Dragon King governed the place. While he kept a low-profile, the demons did not dare to underestimate him.

Everyone knew that the Purple Sea Dragon King was supported by the most powerful tribe of the Barren Expanses, the dragons.

However, this time, the Great Void Sect intruded into the Purple Mist Sea.

While the Supreme Heavenly Mirror had not left Mount Baiyun, the Tai Yi Holy Man and the Zheng Yi Holy Man had already led an expedition into the Barren Expanses. A bunch of elders from the Great Void Sect had intruded into the Purple Mist Sea.

As if they had all sensed something different about the Origins Dragon King in the Black Sea, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Heavenly Master Grand Sage, the Golden Roc Grand Sage and other powerful demons all did not do anything this time. Instead, they watched as the Great Void Sect approached the Purple Mist Sea.

After the battle with Lin Feng, the Origins Dragon King was unusually quiet. This aroused suspicion among the demons. Now that the Great Void Sect was planning to find out what had happened, they were naturally delighted to see the outcome of the Great Void Sect's expedition.

The Purple Sea Dragon King, who had received news of their coming, did not hesitate. He brought the members of his tribe and abandoned the Purple Mist Sea and headed straight for the Black Sea.

While the Great Void Sect appeared intimidating as they chased away their opponents without a fight, they were deeply unhappy with this result. The demons of the Barren Expanses too cursed.

This could only mean that the worst-case scenario was true. The Origins Dragon King successfully passed the Second Tribulation.

If he had been preparing for his Cardinal Tribulations Beginning Stage only, then while it was likely that he would act against Lin Feng, it was unlikely that he would allow the Great Void Sect to humiliate him by coming all the way to his domain. He would have surely battled them.

Of course, it could also be unlikely that the Origins Dragon King was not present. It was like how Lin Feng and the Great Void Sect once entered the Spirit Sea and could not get out for quite some time.

It could also be possible that he failed in crossing the Second Tribulation and died and the dragons were concealing news of his demise. It could also be possible that he did not even undergo the Second Tribulations but was injured.

To test their suspicions, the Tai Yi Holy Man and the Zheng Yi Holy Man allied together and approached the inter-world passage into the Black Sea.

The dragons' characteristic arrogance would not permit them to lay a trap for them by cutting off their exit and retreating even further into the Black Sea.

Their retreat into the Purple Mist Sea had been humiliating enough for them. Hence, when the Tai Yi Holy Man and the Zheng Yi Holy Man approached the Black Sea, the dragons could resist it no more. They called upon the powers of the Black Sea and attacked the two Great Void Sect elders.

Because it was only the entrance to the Black Sea, the Tai Yi Holy Man and the Zheng Yi Holy Man were able to retreat in time. However, the results of their findings made them even more solemn.

When they experienced the humongous pressure in the Black Sea, the Tai Yi Holy Man and the Zheng Yi Holy Man could ascertain that dragon controlling the Black Sea was not the heavily-injured Earth Dragon King but instead, the more powerful Origins Dragon King.

Furthermore, when the Black Sea sought repelled, they heard the wailing of the Dao within the Black Sea. This was not something that a Vipralopa stage demon could do. It would require a more powerful demon who was above the Vipralopa stage.

The Origins Dragon King had indeed successfully crossed the Second Tribulations. Right now, he should still be recovering. Hence, the power he was able to call up in the Black Sea was not much stronger than before.

After they left the Black Sea, the Tai Yi Holy Man, the Zheng Yi Holy Man, and the other elders of the Great Void Sect looked at each other as they fell silent.

While the Origins Dragon King had yet to recover fully, if he were pushed to the brink he would resist with all his powers, which would naturally be more than before.

Even the Earth Dragon King, whom Lin Feng injured and who did not act this time, would be a fearsome opponent if he were to fight.

Today, as the Supreme Heavenly Mirror had yet to recover completely, it would be difficult for the Tai Yi Holy man and the rest to attack the Black Sea.

If they were to battle to the death against the dragons, the situation would likely spiral out of control.

Right now, the other demons were watching happily from the side as they welcomed the help from the Great Void Sect in finding out about the powers of the dragons. If the two sides really were to fight, they would be even happier.

However, if a large-scale fight really broke out, they would no longer be just spectators.

For demons like the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Heavenly Master Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage who were unwilling to submit to others, they were naturally unhappy to see the Origins Dragon King completing the Second Tribulation of Destiny. Any advantage possessed by the dragons displeased them.

They delighted in seeing a Pyrrhic war between the two sides.

This would be different from the fight Lin Feng had with the Earth Dragon King, the Golden Cicada and the White Tiger Grand Sage. In that fight, Lin Feng did not use all his powers and hence, the scope of battle did not expand. If the Great Void Sect attacked the Black Sea, it was going to be an all-out war.

Not only would the demons pay attention to it, even the cultivators of the Divine Lands would pay attention to the battle. The demons wished to take advantage of the battle and act only after the victor and the loser had been determined. By then, there would be not much difference. As the Great Void Sect was a major competitor to the many sects of the Divine Lands, the humans naturally would follow this battle with much interest.

Under this situation, it was likely that a War of the Two Worlds would completely break out.

Of course, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage hoped that the Great Void Sect would attack the Black Sea immediately. The sooner the war breaks out, the better. While the demons had no plan yet, it was preferable to watching the Origins Dragon King making a complete recovery.

If not for the fact that the humans were containing the Origins Dragon King, the demons would have been the ones doing it.

However, to the Great Void Sect, with the Origins Dragon King in a weak state and the Earth Dragon King severely injured, the entire dragon tribe was at its weakest. If they were to drag it, then the Origins Dragon King and the Earth Dragon King would make a complete recovery. Then, the dragons would be much more powerful.

However, right now, the Supreme Heavenly Mirror had yet to recover fully. Hence, with the dragons enduring the humiliation of being barricaded in the Black Sea, it was still difficult for them to break into it.

While Lin Feng had killed many demons, the power of the demons could not be underestimated.

In particular, if they were to fight now, the Phoenix Tribe and the Divine Parasol Tree Tribe would join in too.

In the eyes of these two tribes, the Great Void Sect was taking advantage of the weaknesses of others by provoking a fight right now.

While their opinions differed, the Phoenix Tribe and the Divine Parasol Tree Tribe had good ties with the dragons. Coupled with the fact that the actions of the Great Void Sect went against their principles, it was extremely likely that they would help the dragons.

Even though Lin Feng's relationship with them was not bad, they would at most choose not to fight with disciples from the Celestial Sect of Wonders and instead, focus their attention on the Great Void Sect.

"Senior Tai Yi…" The Zheng Yi Holy Man looked at the Tai Yi Holy Man. The Tai Yi Holy Man's eyes were shut and his expression was serious as he said, "We shall talk about it more later."

When the Great Void Sect left, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and company were unnaturally disappointed.

Since the last battle at Mount Shu, they had never called for a meeting of such importance before. Kuang Heng and every other member of the Supreme Elder Council attended the meeting. If they could not attend in person, they would project their image over.

When everyone was present, the Zheng Yi Holy Man asked, "Senior Tai Yi, how long more before the Origins Dragon King makes a complete recovery?"

The Tai Yi Holy Man said slowly, "While we exchanged blows across the Black Sea and I did not personally fight him, I can only give a rough estimate and that's 20 years."

The Tai Yi Holy Man referred to time in the Greater World. The Great Calamity did not care for the change in space and time and hence, the time the cultivator experienced would be exactly the same as time in the Greater World.

In other words, one who experienced the Great Calamity would be able to take advantage of accelerated time. Take, for example, the Origins Dragon King. Right now, he needed 20 years to make a full recovery. If he were to spend one year in a dimension where time passed 10 000 times faster, he would still need 19 more years when he exited the dimension.

Different cultivators would need different amount of time to recover. It was entirely up to individual cultivators.

Hearing the Tai Yi Holy Man's response, the Zheng Yi Holy Man fell silent. Cai Fengzhou mumbled to himself, "20 years, it's not enough…"

He turned his head to look at Yan Nanlai, who nodded and said, "It's indeed not enough."

The Xuan Lin Holy Man said quietly, "It is not enough to attack the Black Sea. However, if the Origins Dragon King were to leave the Black Sea, then the situation would be different. Even if he returns to his peak condition, it will still be the same. He can be located at…"

Yun Yuanzhen sighed and said, "That's something we can consider. If the Origins Dragon King calmed himself and did not rush to leave the Black Sea and gather his strength, he could undergo 2 to 3 more Great Calamities…"

Fu Yunkong arched his eyebrows and said, "There won't be so much time. After 100 years in the Greater World, the Supreme Heavenly Mirror would recover completely."

The Yu Yuan Holy Woman's expression was cold as she said, "That's only if the Supreme Heavenly Mirror did nothing but to rest."

Her expression swept her surroundings as she said, "Today, however, the Divine Lands is not at peace…"

Chapter 967: An Unstable Power, the Celestial Sect of Wonders!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"We don't know what Lin Feng is thinking and with the return of the Emperor of the Dead, the situation in the Divine Lands is very chaotic too…"

Everyone knew what the Yu Yuan Holy Woman was talking about. The Qing Ning Holy Man looked at the Qing Yi Holy Woman and said, "While you have said that we should allow Lin Feng to go and further cultivate his sword, we did not know about the Origins Celestial Dragon then."

"Today, with the special situation before us, I believe that it is the best opportunity to release the restrictions from the powerful sword of the Master of the Celestial Sect," said the Qing Ning Holy Man slowly. "Lin Feng plots a lot and we cannot expect him to fight to the death against the Origins Dragon King. However, we can expect him to hold him off for a while."

The Xuan Lin Holy Man shook his head and said, "He will not enter into the Black Sea on his own accord. On the side of the dragons, before the Origins Dragon King make a complete recovery, they will not leave the Black Sea too."

Yun Yuanzhen's expression was calm as he said, "Right now, the two sides have serious grievances with each other that could not be resolved immediately. One spark, and they are likely to start fighting."

"While Lin Feng is devious, he will not allow himself to be taken advantage of. This time, when he entered the Barren Expanses, it was because his disciple had been kidnapped by the Golden Cicada. Following the same principle, if his other disciples were to be lost in the Black Sea, he would naturally enter the Black Sea too."

Yun Yuanzhen closed her eyes and smiled as she said softly, "For the dragons, they would naturally delight in capturing and killing one of his disciples."

Cai Fengzhou looked at Yun Yuanzhen and arched his eyebrows, "Junior Yun…"

Yun Yuanzhen looked at him and nodded her head while saying seriously, "Unlike the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, his sword possesses an apocalyptic desire. If its restrictions are further released, then he may be unable to control it. Then, it will truly be dangerous."

"Now is the best time to use it."

Wu Mengqi asked quietly, "Who's the target?"

The Yu Yuan Holy Woman said, "Either Wang Lin or Shi Tianhao. Ideally, it should be Wang Lin but Shi Tianhao goes to the Barren Expanses more often."

Fu Yunkong, Cai Fengzhou and Lin Daohan frowned and said nothing. The Qing Yi Holy Woman looked at the Tai Yi Holy Man, Yan Nanlai, the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Xuan Yi Holy Man as she said, "We can discuss this in greater details. The coming of the Origins Dragon King is too sudden. I personally feel that our sect should prepare ourselves for another War of the Two Worlds."

"Looking at the situation in the Divine Lands right now, I believe that the Celestial Sect of Wonders can be categorized as an 'unstable power'."

The Zheng Yi Holy Man said quietly, "I agree."

Kuang Heng, the Xuan Lin Holy Man and Wu Mengqi all looked casual as they nodded their heads and said, "We agree."

Yun Yuanzhen, the Qing Ning Holy Man and the Yu Yuan Holy Woman said, "We agree."

Fu Yunkong, however, frowned and said, "When he went to the Barren Expanses to search for his disciple, the Master of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was merciless. He killed a whole bunch of demons. Looking at it, if a War of the Two Worlds breaks out, he will not sit by and do nothing."

"The power of the Celestial Sect of Wonders can be of vital importance in the upcoming war."

"While we are not wrong in categorizing it as an 'unstable power', I believe that it may cause unforeseen changes. Then, I don't think it will be beneficial to the War of the Two Worlds."

While everyone before him was more senior, Fu Yunkong still raised her objection. When the Qing Yi Holy Woman heard it, he did not show any sign of disapproval. Instead, he said calmly, "Yunkong, the mind of the Master of the Celestial Sect is more complicated than you think. In reality, the Celestial Sect of Wonders is not a stable element."

When Fu Yunkong heard that, a look of contemplation appeared on her face. then, another voice rang from his side, "I agree with the Qing Yi Holy Woman's proposal."

Fu Yunkong looked over in shock. The speaker was Yan Nanlai.

Then, the Tai Yi Holy Man's ancient and clear voice rang, "I agree too."

Hearing that, not only was Fu Yunkong astonished, even Kuang Heng, the Xuan Lin Holy Man, the Yu Yuan Holy Woman, Cai Fengzhou, Yun Yuanzhen and Lin Daohan were astonished too.

Only the Qing Yi Holy Man, the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Xuan Yi Holy Man looked calm.

The Tai Yi Holy Man closed his eyes and calmly 'looked' at everyone and then said slowly, "The powerful sword is secondary. What caught my attention was an item and a skill Lin Feng used in his most recent voyage into the Barren Expanses."

"The item does not need any explanation. It was the seal that separated the Earth Dragon King's body from his soul."

Every present nodded their heads. They had received news of that and the power of the seal shocked them. Compared to the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation or the teachings of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, it was much more shocking.

It could control even a Vipralopa stage demon. While its effect did not last very long, for people of their level, that time was more than enough.

Lin Feng's Heaven-Slicing Seal could be viewed as a trump card against the demons.

The Xuan Lin Holy Man mumbled, "The seal…"

The Tai Yi Holy Man waved his hand and said, "We can talk about this later. Another thing that caught my attention was how the Master of the Celestial Sect demonstrated a spell in his battle against the Ten Thousand Mantras Ape, the Earth Dragon King and the Golden Cicada, that was able to fuse the heavens and earth back together."

"This spell can be used by his dragon avatar too," said the Tai Yi Holy Man with a serious expression. "Furthermore, he can cast the spell together with his dragon avatar. While I did not witness it perfectly, I too feel that there is something amiss about this spell."

"Evidently, some spells can be used by both demons and humans. however, there is something different about the spell the Master of the Celestial Sect used."

Yan Nanlai continued his master's sentence as he said, "When we connected the dots, we also realized that Lin Feng had abandoned his Steel Tree Avatar suddenly in the Ying Sea and then, cultivated a purely demonic avatar. We started to make guesses based on this."

Here, everyone's face turned solemn as the Qing Yi Holy Woman said, "The mind of the Master of the Celestial Sect is complex indeed and much more cunning than we thought. He is also very ambitious. This is the same as his plan to resist the Supreme Heavenly Mirror by cultivating his powerful sword alone."

"It is extremely dangerous for the Divine Lands for him to act in this way. Hence, I propose that in the next War of the Two Worlds, we should categorize the Celestial Sect of Wonders as an unstable power."

Fu Yunkong fell silent for a long while and then, she nodded his head and said, "I agree to the Qing Yi Holy Woman's proposal."

Lin Daohan, who had been listening quietly by the side, said calmly, "The Supreme Heavenly Mirror has yet to recover fully. Coupled with the fact that the Origins Dragon King passed his Second Tribulation, it is disadvantageous for us humans to categorize the Celestial Sect of Wonders as an unstable power."

The Xuan Yi Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou said nothing. Normally, they would not vote on this matter. However, they chose to keep silent this time.

After a long while, Cai Fengzhou said hesitantly, "Should we wait and observe?"

The Qing Yi Holy Woman said, "No one can predict how the battle will turn out. Neither can anyone predict how the situation will turn out after the battle. If there's really an uncontrollable change, it will be too late to do anything anyway."

Yan Nanlai said quietly, "Even if we label the Celestial Sect of Wonders as an unstable power, then we can view the previous unstable power, the descendants of the Emperor of the Ancients, as a potential ally."

The Yu Yuan Holy Woman said coldly, "Because of Xiao Yan, the Celestial Sect of Wonders is close to the Ancient Longevity World. They may become allies."

Yan Nanlai said, "We shall continue observing them. After all, this too is due to the rise of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, which affected the mindset of the descendants of the Emperor of the Ancients. In this context, it is natural to view them as an ally in the upcoming War of the Two Worlds. Of course, we must guard against their possible alliance with the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

The Xuan Yi Holy Man who was silent throughout the conference opened his mouth and said, "We can continue observing the interaction between the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Ancient Longevity World. Since we are sure that another War of the Two Worlds is going to break out, we should eliminate the powers that we view as our enemies."

Yan Nanlai nodded his head and said, "Yes, we have to take care of the Emperor of the Dead and the Hall of the Dead. With his rebirth, the Emperor of the Dead naturally wished to regain his former powers. To do so, he will have to spend a considerable amount of effort. This may be his weakest point."

Yun Yuanzhen's gaze flashed as she said, "The Celestial Sect of Wonders does not get along well with the Emperor of the Dead and the Hall of the Dead. While Wang Lin may only just be in his Immortal Soul stage, he threatens the Emperor of the Dead and all his allies."

"His seventh disciple, Shi Tianhao, does not get along well with the Emperor of the Dead. Rumor has it that the cultivators of the Hall of the Dead are searching for his grandfather and his parents in the Void Battleground."

Yan Nanlai said, "We can ally together with the Celestial Sect of Wonders in this aspect and then observe their behavior. This is important in helping us come to a decision about the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

The Qing Ning Holy Woman frowned and said, "The Emperor of the Dead is hidden. On one hand, he is recovering his strength. On the other hand, he hopes that we will start fighting with the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Even if he has grievances with the Celestial Sect of Wonders, he will attempt to control it."

The Yu Yuan Holy Woman looked at Yan Nanlai and said, "Sect Leader, do you have news about the Emperor of the Dead's whereabouts?"

Yan Nanlai nodded his head and said nothing. His gaze fell upon Wu Mengqi.

Wu Mengqi's pupils shone with a weird light. From his pupils, one could see the apocalyptic scene in the Netherworld Sea as he said slowly, "The odd happenings in the Netherworld Sea may be related to him."

He paused for a while and then continued, "This incident concerns the Ancient Longevity World where the descendants of the Emperor of the Ancients reside."

"When the demons invaded Mount Taihua and attacked Mount Yujing, something happened at the same time in the Ancient Longevity World. The Netherworld Sea appears to have split open there."

The Xuan Lin Holy Man then said, "When the River Styx Priest was killed in the Middle Ages, we obtained some news about the Emperor of the Dead. His third disciple, the Nether Priest, could not be found. Junior Wu felt someone communicating to the Netherworld Sea before. We suspect that it is the Nether Priest."

"The Emperor of the Ancients and the ancestors of our sect worked together to overthrow the Emperor of the Dead. Looking at the information in our sect, the Emperor of the Ancients possessed something that the Emperor of the Dead wanted. Then, with the fall of the Emperor of the Ancients, the item landed in the hands of others. However, as we cannot confirm the news, we do not know if it's true or false, much less the specifics of the item."

"Looking at it now, the change in the Ancient Longevity World is related to the Emperor of the Dead. It's also a lead to find him."

Chapter 968: The Storm Approaches, the Situation Is Delicate

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Xuan Lin Holy Man looked at Wu Mengqi and said, "However, news from the Ancient Longevity World has it that while the Netherworld Sea opened, it closed pretty soon afterwards."

Wu Mengqi then said, "However, since then, it has quietened down."

Kuang Heng said calmly, "The Netherworld Sea normally opens in the Southern Wilderness of the Divine Lands. There is no information telling us that the Netherworld Sea is connected to the Ancient Longevity World. The split in the Middle World should be man-made, right?"

Wu Mengqi smiled and said, "More or less."

Kuang Heng turned to look at Yun Yuanzhen as he said, "In the Ying Sea, Mingyue personally witnessed the eldest disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Xiao Yan, wielding a huge sword. Apparently, the sword can open the split into the Netherworld Sea too, right?"

Yun Yuanzhen nodded her head and replied, "That's right. While it was small, it was able to summon the power of the Netherworld Sea."

The Xuan Lin Holy Man by the side said, "News from the Ancient Longevity World has it that the descendants of the Emperor of the Ancients may render assistance to the Celestial Sect of Wonders. However, only a single Immortal Soul Second Level cultivator will help them."

Everyone present nodded their heads and Yan Nanlai said calmly, "Looking at it now, the Emperor of the Dead is purposely creating a distraction. First, he wants to obtain the Life and Death Book from Xu Anda. However, he has yet to obtain what he wants from the Ancient Longevity World."

"If that's the case, he will act soon. We just don't know when."

Kuang Heng said calmly, "If that's the case, then we should startle him. The last time the Ancient Longevity World was attacked, the descendants of the Emperor of the Ancients did not know that it was done by the Emperor of the Dead. We should inform them."

"Once the descendants of the Emperor of the Ancients know that the Emperor of the Dead has something to do with the tear to the Netherworld Sea in the Ancient Longevity World, they will naturally draw the connection to the target of the Emperor of the Dead, which is what they obtained from the Emperor of the Ancients. They will naturally take preventive measure then."

"The longer he drags, the more difficult it is for the Emperor of the Dead to obtain what he wants. If he wants to take the risk, then he will naturally run the risk of being exposed. If he continues to wait, he will be the loser too."

Yan Nanlai said calmly, "That's right."

Cai Fengzhou then said, "Since the descendants of the Emperor of the Ancients in the Ancient Longevity World is an ally, one of us should make a trip down to tell the news and have a talk with them."

He looked at Yan Nanlai, the Tai Yi Holy Man, the Qing Yi Holy Man and the Xuan Yi Holy Man and said, "I volunteer to go."

The rest of them nodded and Yan Nanlai said, "Thank you, Junior Cai."

The Yu Yuan Holy Woman asked, "Should we eliminate the nail left by the Emperor of the Dead in the Divine Lands, the Samsara Sect?"

Yun Yuanzhen shook her head and said, "It's better to keep them around first. While we want to startle him, we need to control ourselves. If our movements are too obvious, then it would arouse the suspicion of the Emperor of the Dead. Then, he may completely abandon his designs on the Ancient Longevity World."

"If that's the case, the loser is still the Emperor of the Dead. The best case will be for him to expose himself and then, we eliminate him."

The Qing Ning Holy Man said, "As for the Celestial Sect of Wonders, we should put our plans into action."

Yan Nanlai said, "There's no rush in that. We should settle the Emperor of the Dead first."

After they expressed their opinions on overall matters, the Tai Yi Holy Man, the Zheng Yi Holy Man, the Qing Yi Holy Woman and the Xuan Yi Holy Man said nothing. All they did was to listen to the discussions of Yan Nanlai and the rest.

"Uncle Xuan Yi and Senior Kuang just experienced the tribulations. Junior Wu needs to rest. Unless there's something as important as this, we won't be bothering you." Yan Nanlai stared at the Xuan Yi Holy man, Kuang Heng and Wu Mengqi. Then, he looked at the Qing Yi Holy Woman and said, "Thank you for taking care of the Barren Expanses."

The Qing Yi Holy Woman nodded her head. She took part in the conference through projecting her light image from the Barren Expanses, where she was located.

Yan Nanlai's gaze then fell upon the Xuan Lin Holy Man and the Yu Yuan Holy Woman. "Mount Taihua in the Barren Expanses has fallen. We don't know when we can next cast the spell formation. Afterwards, I will have to trouble Junior Xuan Lin and Junior Yu Yuan to help the Qing Yi Holy Woman."

The Xuan Lin Holy Man and the Yu Yuan Holy Woman nodded their heads and said, "Yes, sect leader."

Finally, Yan Nanlai looked at Lin Daohan. Lin Daohan bowed and said, "Don't worry, master. I know what to do."

The conference ended and the group of Great Void Sect elders went their ways. Only the Tai Yi Holy Man and Yan Nanlai were left on Mount Baiyun.

The Tai Yi Holy Man's eyes were closed and his expression calm. Yan Nanlai too was expressionless. The two of them sat facing each other and said nothing for a long while.

After a long while, Yan Nanlai said slowly, "Master, I am not good enough and I have disappointed you."

The Tai Yi Holy Man smiled carefreely and said, "Nanlai, the world is full of changes. How can we expect everything to go our way? Live your life properly. That's the most important thing right now."

Yan Nanlai sighed and said, "I have embarrassed myself. Since the battle of Mount Shu, there are many difficult things I have contend with. While the Master of the Celestial Sect is cunning, he could still be a top human cultivator. Alternatively, he could be a pillar of strength for us humans too."

"However, with the rise of his Celestial Sect of Wonders, it caused the resistance by the Qing Yi Holy Woman and the Zheng Yi Holy Man. Even Uncle Xuan Yi and Junior Cai permitted their resistance."

Other than Yan Nanlai, there were 12 members of the Supreme Elder Council. They included the Zheng Yi Holy Man, Kuang Heng, the Xuan Lin Holy Man, Wu Mengqi, the Qing Yi Holy Woman, Yun Yuanzhen, the Qing Ning Holy Man and the Yu Yuan Holy Woman. Eight of them viewed the Celestial Sect of Wonders as their enemies.

Including the Xuan Yi Holy Man and Cai Fengzhou, there were 10 of them. With their numerical advantage, they could control the decisions of the Supreme Elder Council.

Amongst the four elders of the Great Void Sect, the Qing Yi Holy Woman, the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Xuan Yi Holy Man had come to a consensus.

Under this situation, even Yan Nanlai, who was the sect leader, and the Tai Yi Holy Man could only keep their opinions to themselves.

The Tai Yi Holy Man smiled slightly and said, "Nanlai, according to what you have said, I have disappointed you."

If the Tai Yi Holy Man was at his peak, then faced with today's situation, he could have significantly affected everyone's positions.

However, while the Tai Yi Holy Man was still the most powerful cultivator of the Great Void Sect, he was no longer so forceful.

However, the Tai Yi Holy Man was still calm and at peace as he poked fun at his disciple. Yan Nanlai laughed and shook his head, "Master, your words embarrass me."

With that, his smiled gradually faded as he said, "While our overall direction was not affected, I will rather face that situation then to carry out with our current plan."

"Lin Feng wants to rule the Divine Lands, fine. He wants to cultivate his powerful sword, that's fine too. However, his current path is extremely perilous. There is a strong chance that he may become a double-edged sword. If he is careless, he may not only injure himself but bring about harm to the entire Divine Lands."

Yan Nanlai said in a deep voice, "I cannot let that happen."

The Tai Yi Holy man said lightly, "It's too early to say that. Right now, the Celestial Sect of Wonders is an unstable power. We shall continue observing them and only categorize them as an enemy when the evidence is irrefutable."

As he said that, the Tai Yi Holy Man frowned and his eyelids fluttered. "However, where exactly did the Hades Tribe go? After their surprise and brief appearance in the Spirit Sea, there has been no news of them."

"Nanlai, I will talk to my junior, Zheng Yi, later. He will go to the Barren Expanses once more and visit the spots where the Hades Tribe used to frequent to find more clues of them."

"After his recovering, Junior Xuan Yi will focus on crossing his tribulations once more. Junior Qing Yi will remain on Mount Taihua and I will remain on Mount Baiyun while preparing to render assistance to Junior Zheng Yi and Junior Qing Yi. If there are news concerning the Emperor of the Dead, I will pass it on to you."

As he said that, the Tai Yi Holy Man 'looked' at Yan Nanlai and said slowly, "It's up to you whether you want to go yourself, or if you want to ask Yunkong, Yuanzhen or Yu Yuan."

Yan Nanlai's face did not change as he said quietly. "While Yan Xinghe may be my ancestor, don't worry, master, I will act if needed. I will not shirk my responsibilities and I will dutifully execute the responsibilities of my position."

The Tai Yi Holy Man nodded. His eyes were still closed as he stood on top of Mount Baiyun and 'looked' into the distance. "Another War of the Two Worlds is coming."

Far away, in the Kunlun Mountains, Mount Yujing floated above the clouds. Lin Feng sat cross-legged on top of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree. He too had obtained news from the Barren Expanses.

While the information was not detailed and exact, Lin Feng could more or less figure out what had happened.

"Unless something major has happened, there's an 80% chance that the Origins Celestial Dragon had succeeded in passing the Second Tribulation. Right now, he is weak and probably resting."

If the Origins Dragon King did not pass the tribulation and was only preparing for it, then he would not have allowed his kind to abandon the Purple Mist Sea. If the Origins Dragon King died during the tribulation or was injured, or if he was no longer in the Black sea, then the Great Void Sect would have attacked the Black Sea with their Supreme Heavenly Mirror, particularly since the Earth Dragon King was injured too.

If the Origins Dragon King were dead, the Earth Dragon King and the Azure Sky Dragon King severely injured, the Zu'e Grand Sage killed, the Yu'ao Dragon King severely injured, the Golden Cicada half-dead, the White Tiger Grand Sage captured, the Xiangliu Grand Sage killed, the Great Void Sect would have acted even if the Phoenix Tribe and the Divine Parasol Tree Tribe joined the demons.

However, if the Origins Dragon King successfully passed the Second Tribulations, then the situation was completely different.

"Hehe, I wonder how long more will the old dragon need to reach his prime?" Lin Feng thought. "If he continues to undergo tribulations and increase his power, then the situation will become more delicate."

"However, if he wants to force the submission of the other demons, he will need time too. The time he has isn't a lot. Unless he plans to stay in the Black Sea and not come out, then that's fine."

Lin Feng sat cross-legged and looked up into the stars in the void. The stars twinkled and a black and white pillar of Qi could vaguely be seen.

"I wonder how long more it will take the Great Void Sect's Supreme Heavenly Mirror to recover completely."

Chapter 969: A Tear into the Netherworld Sea, the Nefarious Almighty Sword

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng looked into the void and thought, "To forge metal, one must be strong himself. Everyone is fighting for time now. Other than the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses, there is still the Hades tribe in some Middle World…"

He smiled slightly and said, "I doubt that the Origins Celestial Dragon will be happy to see them once more? Furthermore, if the Hades Tribe were to re-appear once more, someone would suffer first."

After he sorted out his train of thoughts, Lin Feng stood up and descended the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree and went to the Tripitaka Block.

He pointed with his finger and three balls of light appeared before him. They were the three Buddhist avatars of the Golden Cicada, the Acalanatha Monk, the Amoghasiddhi Monk and the Bao Sheng Monk. From them, Lin Feng was able to derive the Acalanatha Tathagata Mantra, the Amoghasiddhi Mantra and the Ratnasambhava Mantra.

After the Anti-Celestial Sect War, the Flowing Waves Holy Man replaced the injured Virtuous Zen Master in looking after the Celestial Wonder World. The Virtuous Zen Master rested on top of Mount Yujing. When he heard Lin Feng's news, he went to the Tripitaka Block to take a look. There, he saw the Forever-Bright Tathagata Mantra together with the Acalanatha Tathagata Mantra, the Amoghasiddhi Mantra and the Ratnasambhava Mantra. His normally calm heart began to surge with emotions.

He closed his palms together and muttered a prayer in a low voice. He looked, slightly dazed, at the books and said, "I can't believe that the Golden Cicada Grand Sage is able to obtain our entire set of teachings. Furthermore, he is able to cultivate them to such great effect."

Lin Feng's expression was calm as he smiled and said nothing.

The Virtuous Zen Master bowed and placed his palms together before Lin Feng and said, "My lord, thank you so much for this feat."

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "There's no need to be polite, Zen Master. In the days to come, rest on Mount Yujing and carefully study the ways of Buddhism. As for the Celestial Wonder World, the Flowing Waves Holy Man shall take care of it. After the Dual Polarity Peak has recovered, he will go too. There's nothing for you to worry about."

The Virtuous Zen Master bowed once more and Lin Feng nodded his head. He walked to the side, where his gaze was fixed on a bunch of Daoist mantras.

He obtained the Cang Heaven Spell Blade's and Shao Dongtian's teachings of Heaven's Gate, as well as Zhang Enrui and the part of the Samsara Sect's mantras and the teachings of the Emperor of the Dead from Xuanda. Also, he obtained all of the swordplay techniques of the Mount Shu Sword Sect except the Guanchong Sword…

Other than that, he had the incomplete teachings of the Ancient Satanic Sect, the Blood River Sect and the Demonic Shadow Sect.

"For Heaven's Gate, the Samsara Sect and the Emperor of the Dead's teachings, I can fill in the gaps in a particular branch of their teaching. However, I cannot obtain the teaching of other branches with just a single branch," thought Lin Feng. "After all, for big sects like these, they are split into small units. Together, they will form a complete but multi-faceted set of teachings."

However, Lin Feng did not care so much about that. When he looked at these teachings now, he used similar mantras as reference as he tried to absorb their essence

While this was not useful in him deepening his understanding of the Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtues, it was useful in helping him broaden his understanding.

"There are ten thousand different ways to the Dao in the world. This world is both barren and captivating…" The more one did not know, the more fearless he was. As one knew more and more, he would stand in a higher position and become more fearful and respectful of the things in the world. However, this sense of respect and fear was motivation for Lin Feng to improve himself.

As Lin Feng left the Tripitaka Block, he met his eldest disciple, Xiao Yan, who bowed and said to him, "Master, I have something to report to you."

"There are news from the Ancient Longevity World that the Great Void Sect had paid them a visit."

When Lin Feng heard that, he nodded. The Ancient Longevity World was a Middle World where the descendants of the Emperor of the Ancients resided and hid from everyone else. They normally kept to themselves and rarely interacted with the Greater World. However, they were not as secretive as the Hall of the Dead.

It was normal for most people to disregard their existence, but not the Great Void Sect. The Great Void Sect probably just paid a bit of attention to them normally and rarely interacted with them directly.

The more powerful a sect was, the more one should not underestimate its information-gathering capabilities. It did not matter whether the sect chose to be active or inactive.

While the attitude that 'I need not know who you are but you must know who I am' was intimidating, from a certain perspective, it was not a good idea to have that attitude without possessing enough power.

To reach that level, there must be a significant difference between one's own capabilities and the capabilities of others.

The difference must be more akin to the distance between the Nine Heavens and the earth instead of the difference between two mountains of different height.

Furthermore, change was the only constant in the world. The so-called difference between clouds and mud might not be eternal.

Xiao Yan said, "While we are not sure what did they talk about exactly, it has something to do with the weird happenings in the Ancient Longevity World."

During the Anti-Celestial War, because of Xiao Yan, the Ancient Longevity World was not just a spectator. Instead, they were like the Great Qin Empire and the Purple Clouds Sect who rendered assistance to Lin Feng. Afterwards, Lin Feng was not selfish when he rewarded them. This bettered the ties between the two sides.

However, right now, there were weird occurrences in the Ancient Longevity World too. Hence, the assistance they rendered was limited compared to the vast strength they had. They only sent an Immortal Soul Second Level cultivator, Gu Peng and Xiao Zhen'er.

It was not because the Ancient Longevity World did not care but instead, it was because their internal crisis was big indeed. Lin Feng and Xiao Yan did not ask too much. However, Xiao Zhener and Gu Peng mentioned it at times.

"Master, I thought the locations of the Netherworld Sea, Black Sea and the Ying Sea were fixed? Unlike the Spirit Sea, the Void Sea or the Death Sea," said Xiao Yan slightly suspiciously. He took out his Nefarious Almighty Sword and tapped the handle of his sword.

"Unless, the Netherworld Sea did not open by itself. Instead, someone forced it open? Could the person be like me, who borrowed upon the power of the Nefarious Almighty Sword or some other weapon to carve a split there and call upon the power of the Netherworld Sea?"

Lin Feng nodded his head and said, "That's right. It was like how the Earth Dragon King managed to use the power of the Black Sea to escape."

Xiao Yan twitched his mouth and said, "However, if it was able to render Zhener and her family helpless, then the split was probably bigger than the one I had made with my Nefarious Almighty Sword."

Xiao Yan did learn a bit about the Ancient Longevity World and the disciples of the Emperor of the Ancients from Xiao Zhener. Today, the leader of their tribe, otherwise known as the 'new' Emperor of the Ancients, was Xiao Zhener's father. While he had only passed his Cardinal Tribulations Beginner Stage and he had not yet completed the Cardinal Tribulations, he was not too far off. His powers were exceptional indeed and it was clear he was descended from the Emperor of the Ancients.

While the Emperor of the Ancients met a sorry end, his descendants were able to obtain his Ancient Immortality Scripture. After all these years, they were able to perfect and refine it.

Hence, after many years of biding their time in the Ancient Longevity World, the descendants of the Emperor of the Ancients were able to regain their former strength.

The only regretful thing was the fact that an elder amongst them in the Vipralopa stage was unable to pass the Second Tribulation. Hence, he fell in battle. If not, the Ancient Longevity World would have been even more powerful.

Of course, if he had successfully completed his Second Tribulation, then their situation right now would have been completely different.

Lin Feng took Xiao Yan's Nefarious Almighty Sword as he lightly traced his finger over the hue sword as the odd feeling in his heart grew stronger.

Ever since Xiao Yan formed his nascent soul and opened a split in the Netherworld Sea with his Nefarious Almighty Sword, Lin Feng had not had that feeling.

However, after Xiao Yan reached the Immortal Soul stage, the feeling only got stronger.

Lin Feng sighed and analyzed Xiao Yan with his supernatural awareness and entered his Immortal Soul. Xiao Yan did not resist as he opened his Immortal Soul to Lin Feng.

After a long while, Lin Feng retracted his supernatural awareness and asked, "Xiao Yan, do you remember the scenario when you first got the Nefarious Almighty Sword?"

Hearing that, Xiao Yan was shocked. However, with his current mastery, his memory was crystal clear. For information that he did not require usually, he would take a well to recall. When needed, however, he could recall them very clearly.

"I remember. It was when I first joined master. Once, when I was with Second Junior and Little Junior, we were exploring a market in a city. Hehe, it sounds ridiculous now. At that time, we were just looking around randomly. We could not afford the items we wanted, and we did not want the items we could afford."

Then, a look of nostalgia crossed Xiao Yan's face. "Then, I saw the sword in a shop. Then, I felt that I have some sort of connection with the item and hence, without finding out its origins, I bought it."

Then, he burst out laughing, "I had to borrow money from Second Junior and Little Junior at that time. We were only able to buy it with all of our money."

Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, "At that time, it was not easy for you."

After laughing for a while, Xiao Yan stopped and looked seriously at Lin Feng and asked, "Did you discover something, master?"

Lin Feng nodded his head and said, "Before you ascended into the Immortal Soul stage, it was hard to detect. Now, when you are in the Immortal Soul stage, I could faintly sense it."

With that, he gently tapped Xiao Yan's forehead. Xiao Yan's entire body trembled as his pupils shone with light.

After a while, Xiao Yan's gaze went back to normal. He looked at Lin Feng, who was smiling at him, and took his Nefarious Almighty Sword back from Lin Feng and tapped the sword and said, "Master, who do you think is the one who opened a small split into the Netherworld Sea in the Ancient Longevity World?"

Lin Feng said, "I can't be sure now. However, the Great Void Sect obtained some information with regards to this. They have sent people to the Ancient Longevity to establish contact with Zhener and her family. Also, they wanted to offer information to the Ancient Longevity World."

"After all, the Great Void Sect possesses one such character who could open the tear into the Netherworld Sea. A while ago, in the face of pressure from the demons, the person was forced to use the power of the Netherworld Sea to overwhelm Mount Taihua, their base in the Barren Expanses."

Xiao Yan stroked his chin and said, "However, Zhener is doing closed-door training right now. If not, I can obtain more news."

"Oh?" Lin Feng asked. "Is this a normal closed-door training, or is she trying for the Immortal Soul stage?"

Xiao Yan's expression became serious as he said, "She wants to try for the Immortal Soul stage."

Normally, ascending into the Immortal Soul was not a dangerous affair if one had done the necessary preparations. However, it was extremely difficult. Even for someone like Xiao Zhener, who was innately talented, it was not easy.

Lin Feng looked slightly surprised as he said, "That's earlier than I thought."

Chapter 970: No Marriage Alliance for the Celestial Sect of Wonders!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng had met Xiao Zhener and her uncle Gu Peng when they came the rescue of Mount Yujing. After the war, Lin Feng spoke with her too, but only briefly. He was clear about her mastery level.

According to his estimates, if Xiao Zhener wished to ascend into the Immortal Soul stage, that's possible. However, she still lacked cultivation and her chance of success was limited.

Lin Feng paused for a while and then started to smile. He looked at Xiao Yan and asked, "Did you give your Great Ice Moonlight Ruler to her?"

Xiao Yan smiled sheepishly as he waved his hands hurriedly at Lin Feng and said, "Master, I can't use that item at all. Hence, I decided to give it to Zhener. However, she refused to take it. hence, after I communicated with the Ancient Lightning Jade Earring, I decided to give the Ancient Lightning Jade Earring to her."

The Ancient Lightning Jade Earring was born from the Grand Yin Barren Lightning. While it was made from Yin Lightning, it had its unique traits too. When Xiao Yan obtained it, he combined lightning and fire and increase its power. The Ancient Lightning Jade Earring's powers became more diversified and the original soul of the magic treasure was naturally delighted.

However, to the Great Ice Moonlight Ruler, following Xiao Yan was akin to a punishment.

However, Xiao Zhener, who cultivated the Ancient Immortality Scripture was better able to cultivate the Great Ice Moonlight Ruler despite the difference in their types of cultivation.

Similarly, Xiao Zhener was able to carefully deduce the powers of the Great Ice Moonlight River and better understand herself through it.

Lin Feng laughed, "So that's your exchange of dowry? The dowries are expensive indeed, with both being magic treasures."

Xiao Yan chuckled as a look of happiness flashed in his eyes.

Lin Feng's lips twitched and he almost wanted to laugh. Speaking of it, the two treasure that Xiao Yan gave her, the Ancient Royal Sword and the Great Ice Moonlight River, both belonged to the Marquis of Jinghuan originally.

He recalled the saying, if a hero was poor, all he needed to do was to find his enemy. Doing so would make him wealthy.

Those who dared to compete for love with a hero were dumb indeed. All they could do was to give congratulatory gifts. With their friendship, the hero of our story would be better able to go after the girl that he liked.

As he cast these nonsensical thoughts out of his head, Lin Feng started to think carefully once more as he said in a low voice, "Zhener is trying for the Immortal Soul stage way earlier than I thought. Right now, we lack Starry Purplish Grass Pill. It will take too much time to wait for the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation to be completed. By then, we won't be saving her much time."

"By the time we get another batch of Starry Purplish Grass Pill for the next batch of Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation, I'm afraid Zhener may be in the Immortal Soul stage already."

When Xiao Yan heard that, he said, "Master, it's…"

He was the one who cultivated the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation and he had also ingested it. He knew that it was the most valuable medicine in the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

While Yue Hongyan, Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu could not use it just yet, they, as immediate disciples, only obtained one each.

Miao Shihao, Kang Nanhua, Jieyu and the other humans and demons in the sect were all in their Advanced Nascent Soul stage. They too did not get the pill.

While Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhener were in love, the two of them had yet to marry. In terms of belonging, Xiao Zhener could not be said to be a member of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Hence, Xiao Yan could not give this rare medicine to Xiao Zhener.

Actually, to thank the Ancient Longevity World for their assistance during the Anti-Celestial Sect War, Lin Feng and Xiao Yan had decided to use the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation as gifts. After all, Xiao Zhener had spent quite some time in the Advanced Nascent Soul stage and she may need to use it.

After all, after she understood the value of the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation, she refused to accept it.

In Lin Feng's eyes, that was because there was still some distance between her and the Immortal Soul stage. Hence, she was okay with not having it.

However, the situation was different now. Lin Feng seemed to know what Xiao Yan wanted to say. He waved his hand and said, "It's fine. The last two pills are reserved for emergencies and special occasions. Xiao Yan, go and look for your Fourth Junior and give her Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation to Zhener."

Xiao Yan's lips trembled as he bowed to Lin Feng and said, "Thank you, master."

Lin Feng sent him to look for Yue Hongyan. In other sects, such an action would naturally earn the displeasure of the giver. To minimize conflict, the master would have to personally ask for the pill in his name and in the name of the sect.

However, despite the different personalities of the disciples of the sect, they were all very close with one another and hence, they did not mind.

When Xiao Yan reached the Blizzard Valley, he was both embarrassed and apologetic. However, he stated openly his intention.

Yue Hongyan did not hesitate and immediately gave her Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation to Xiao Yan while poking fun at him.

Yang Qing, who was visiting at this moment, congratulated Xiao Yan too upon hearing the news.

Yang Qing, who hardly showed any sign of joy since the incident, smiled. His smile was like a gust of clear wing. In that instant, the happy, warm youth of the past returned.

If Yue Hongyan was the only one there, then Xiao Yan would have continued to joke around with her. However, faced with Yang Qing, he only smiled slightly and thanked him. He did not talk too much about his matter with Xiao Zhener for fear of making his junior sad.

Yang Qing was happy for him and he was naturally touched. However, he needed to take Yang Qing's feelings into consideration too.

For Yang Qing, he would probably never see his lover Fang Ting ever again and that was a major source of heartache for him. That was the reason why Lin Feng asked Xiao Yan to take the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation from Yue Hongyan and not Yang Qing.

However, if Xiao Yan were to enter the Ancient Longevity World sneakily and leave right after passing the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation to Xiao Zhener, then that would be highly rude and impolite. In fact, it might even be viewed as a threatening action that had ill intentions.

If he were to go, he would go in the capacity of the Xuan Yan Holy Man, Xiao Yan, of the Celestial Sect of Wonders who was making a formal visit to the Ancient Longevity World.

However, Lin Feng stopped Xiao Yan. He shook his head and said, "The Great Void Sect had just visited them. If you go right afterwards, then they may perceive the relationship between you and Zhener as a political marriage."

Xiao Yan knew the implications. If he were to visit the Ancient Longevity World, it would be viewed as an interaction between the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Ancient Longevity World even if he talked about nothing. This was due to his status as the eldest disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Hence, instead of delivering the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation, it had to be brought along as a side-thought.

However, the nature of the thing would have changed completely.

The principle would be the same even if Zhu Yi or Wang Lin went. In fact, even if Lin Feng communicated to the Ancient Longevity World through a Voice-Projecting Crystal, it would be viewed in the same vein. The only way to avoid it was to not give the pill and instead, discuss things properly.

"Many people will view your marriage to her as such. That is an unavoidable reality because of your background and sect."

"Don't pay attention to the words of others. I have seen how the two of you progressed from childhood sweetheart till today and I know that your love is true. However, if her parents misunderstand your intentions, then it will not be easy for you and Zhener."

When Lin Feng first began his rise, Shi Zongyue of the Great Qin Empire proposed a marriage between Shi Shaoqian and Yue Hongyan by the Sea of the Northern Wind during the Spiritual Conference of Huanghai. Lin Feng rejected it straightaway as he believed Yue Hongyan should decide these matters for herself.

Today, Shi Zongyue had never once brought the matter up. It was as if it had never existed.

Right now, Lin Feng would never consider marriage alliances. Everything should be decided by his disciples. All he did was to make sure that the person had no ulterior motive.

However, many people did try to ask him for his disciples' hand. Not only did they go after Yue Hongyan or Luo Qingwu, some of them even asked for the hands of his second-generation disciples such as Dao Yuting, Li Xingfei and Zhuge Wanqiu.

It was not necessarily marriage. He had to deal with many requests for them to be paired up with others as 'Daoist couple'. However, most of them was for marriage alliance. Naturally, he rejected all of them.

This appeared to be something normal in the Divine Lands. Other than the Great Thunderclap Temple, many other powers had to deal with similar issues, particularly during the reign of the Emperors of Man during the Antiquity Age.

Marriages between imperial households were common. While it was rarer between sects, as disciples tended to marry within their own sects, there were indeed marriages between disciples of different sects.

Marriage in the cultivation world had a stronger political meaning compared to marriage in the mortal world.

Of course, these marriages were much looser and more symbolic. While they may be allied today, it was just as likely for the alliance to fall apart.

The simplest example happened a long time ago. Before the rise of the Great Zhou Empire, an ancestor of Liang Pan, the Zhou Emperor then, sought to marry a princess from the Great Qin Empire. That was when the two empires co-existed the best.

Lin Feng could understand the special circumstances that gave rise to this. It was a method to deepen inter-sect relations.

However, regardless what other sects did, he never planned on doing something like that. Everything should be decided by the parties directly involved. Lin Feng never viewed himself as a defender of morality, but he would never interfere in the personal affairs of others.

Hence, regardless whether it was his immediate disciples or the other disciples in the Celestial Sect of Wonders, everyone could marry whomever they like. As long as the other party was sincere, then everything could be discussed. If his disciple was unwilling, then Lin Feng would not permit it even if the other party offered the Supreme Heavenly Mirror as dowry.

Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yan and said quietly, "Hence, you cannot go yourself this time. Instead, you can ask one of your disciples. I'll ask Saros to protect them."

It had to be a successive disciple who could not be past the Aurous Core stage. That would mean that the Celestial Sect of Wonders did not plan on discussing anything with the Ancient Longevity World. Their only purpose was to pass an item over.

Xiao Yan looked at Lin Feng and said nothing for a long while. He bowed deeply and said, "I am touched by master's love for me. However, since the Great Void Sect had already sent a delegation over, I fear that we may be losing out if we don't do anything."

After many years of training, Xiao Yan was still direct, brave and straightforward. However, there was much he did not understand.

While the giving of the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation was an act of kindness, it completely changed in nature because of Xiao Yan's personal affairs. The ties between the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Ancient Longevity World was not something that a second-generation disciple could be responsible for,

This was especially so after the visit by the Great Void Sect. The Celestial Sect of Wonders could not possibly know what change in mindset the Ancient Longevity World may undergo after the visit.

Perhaps he may gradually accept Xiao Yan. However, Xiao Zhener's father, as the leader of his family, would have to make decisions for the welfare of the entire Ancient Longevity World no matter how much he loved his daughter. That was a result of his position.

Chapter 971: Lin Feng Does As He Pleased

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

At this moment, Xiao Yan did not know if he should laugh or cry. Initially, he did not expect this result when he gave Xiao Zhener the Great Ice Moonlight Ruler. He never even expected the Great Void Sect to visit the Ancient Longevity World.

He was clear that his future father-in-law loved Xiao Zhener a lot.

However, no matter how much he loved Xiao Zhener, he still had to be responsible for many people.

If his love for Xiao Zhener could aid in his fulfilment of official duties, then that was the best and ideal outcome.

If they could not, then the next best scenario was for them to be independent of one another.

If they went against each other, then it's rather regretful. All he could do was to sacrifice one. For many rational leaders, emotional factors could never be decisive factors.

Yan Nanlai, Liang Pan, Shi Yu and Xin Longsheng were all like that.

However, this time, Lin Feng's decision did arise from emotional reasons.

Xiao Yan sighed and said quietly, "This may earn the displeasure of Zhener's mother and father. However, I hope to turn it around in the days to come. I shall make the visit personally."

Lin Feng looked at him and laughed. He did something that he rarely did ever since Xiao Yan matured into an adult; he tapped his forehead with his knuckles and said, "There's no need for that. You should arrange for one of your disciples as soon as possible."

"Master…" Xiao Yan raised his head to look at Lin Feng, who waved and said, "Sometimes, we can do what we want. Just do it."

Looking at Xiao Yan's worried expression, Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, "The Ancients have started to show where their stance is. However, if they wish to truly establish themselves in the Divine Lands, then they will probably have to wait for the end of the next War of the Two Worlds."

"Even if we are half a step slow, it's fine."

Xiao Yan fidgeted with the bottle containing the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation and said in a low voice, "With Saros accompanying us, I don't think anything will happen on the way there. However, once we reach the Ancient Longevity World, we will…"

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "The Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation is only effective for those who have yet to form their Immortal Souls. Zhener is the ideal candidate for it. Furthermore, in the Ancient Longevity World, no one will dare to steal her stuff. As for the Great Void Sect, I don't think the Ancients will decide their course of action so quickly."

While the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation may earn the envy of others, Lin Feng was more concerned about the pill instructions.

Till now, no one had succeeded in deriving the pill instructions of a pill from the pill itself. If not, there would not have been so many cases of lost pill instructions.

Lin Feng knew that the greatest value of his medicine room, the Celestial Golden Pavilion, was in its ability to derive a pill instruction from a pill. It was extremely useful for pill cultivation.

Hence, even if the Ancients decided to side with the Great Void Sect and handed the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation to the Great Void Sect, it would at most create one more Immortal Soul stage cultivator.

The Qing Ning Holy Man was the top pill cultivator of the Divine Lands. Naturally, Lin Feng had heard of him. However, he also knew that he was unable to derive a pill instruction from the pill itself.

Lin Feng never dared to be absolute without enough proof. However, if the Qing Ning Holy Man did possess such an ability, then he would have been able to recover some of the lost pill instructions of his own sect.

"However, if Zhener really does manage to reach the Immortal Soul stage, the two of you will have to endure some days of separation," said Lin Feng with a smile. Xiao Yan nodded his head understandingly.

Earlier, Xiao Zhener had mentioned to him that the teachings of the descendants of the Emperor of the Ancients would require her to do closed-door training to deepen one's understanding of it after she reached the Immortal Soul stage. If she was successful, her powers would increase exponentially, and it would be extremely beneficial to her in the future.

However, there was a downside to it too. If she missed the window of time right after she reached the Immortal Soul stage, then there's no effect anymore. She would have missed a great opportunity.

For example. Gu Peng, who went to the Celestial Sect of Wonders' aid with Xiao Zhener, missed his chance. If not, he would have been able to beat the Shaoshang Swordmaster of the Mount Shu Sword Sect instead of coming to a draw with him.

Even though he missed her, Xiao Yan hoped that Xiao Zhener could further better herself.

Finally, he listened to Lin Feng's suggestion and went back to the Inferno Precipice to prepare. When she heard that she could visit the Ancient Longevity World, Lin Tong naturally hoped that she could help Xiao Yan deliver the medicine.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Xiao Yan nevertheless instructed Lin Tong to remain on the mountain. The impact of the Origins Celestial Dragon passing the Second Tribulation was far-reaching indeed. It's best that Lin Tong did not leave the sect.

Right after he sent his unhappy goddaughter away, Xiao Yan was just about to sit down in the quiet chamber of the Inferno Precipice when a handsome young man came before him.

The young man wore the purple robes of the Celestial Sect of Wonders which was adorned with the Taiji Diagram. On his sleeve, there was a pin that looked like a dancing fire. That was the symbol of the Inferno Precipice of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

The young man stood straight and his face was solemn and serious. His gaze was piercingly-sharp and brimmed with resilience.

Xiao Yan took out the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation and after he conveyed his instructions to him, he said, "Tian Cang, as my First Disciple, please help me make this trip."

The youth was Tang Jun, who joined the sect during the third sect-opening ceremony. While he was already in his Foundation Establishment stage when he joined the sect, the youth continued to work hard, and his improvement was rapid. He was one of the first few second-generation disciples to form his aurous core. He formed his core even before Huang Zhenting, Zhuge Wanqiu, Zhao Huan, Sun Xue'er, Yan Wuwei, Ke Jing and others who had joined the sect before him.

He was resilient, tough and decisive. However, while he was sharp, he was friendly to the other members of the sect and tough on outsiders. While he joined the sect late, he had leadership potential and Xiao Yan named him as his First Disciple very early on.

Not only did Tang Jun improve quickly, his battling abilities were the best amongst the second-generation disciples. In the past two years, he made a name for himself whenever he left the sect to go on expeditions. In the eyes of other sects, Tang Jun was an exceptional, late talent of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

He mentioned nothing about the marriage alliance to his disciple. However, Xiao Yan just told Tang Jun that he had something to do and hence, he required Tang Jun to deliver the item to the Ancient Longevity World.

Tang Jun nodded his head and said, "Don't worry, master. I will take care of it."

He paused for a while and then said, "If I see the Qing Ye Master, is there anything master want me to tell her?"

Qing Ye Master was the Daoist name Xiao Zhener gave herself after she formed her nascent soul. However, Lin Feng, Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao and the rest usually did not refer to her as such. Tang Jun, as a more junior disciple, had to call her by her Daoist name.

He was normally a trustworthy and serious person, but he would occasionally crack jokes. Xiao Yan's personality was similar and hence, the two of them were very close, just like Lin Feng and Xiao Yan. In his heart, Tang Jun respected Xiao Yan. However, the occasional jokes made their interaction less stifling.

Hearing that, Xiao Yan chided, "Stupid kid, if there's anything, I will tell her myself. Why will I need you?"

Tang Jun smiled and bade Xiao Yan farewell. Just as he was about to leave, Xiao Yan waved at him and said, "Don't rush to leave, take these items along with you?"

Xiao Yan flicked his fingers and a black robe appeared before Tang Jun. Tang Jun took it and was slightly shocked. He said, "A Nascent Soul stage magic item? Master, when I formed my aurous core, you have already given me the Pure Yang Earth Mirror."

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest decided to pass the Aurous Core stage and Nascent Soul items that Lin Feng had given them when they formed their aurous cores down to their disciples as a symbolic show of succession.

After Tang Jun was named the First Disciple in his Foundation Establishment stage, he obtained the Aurous Core stage magic item, the Black Cloud Flag. When he ascended into the Aurous Core stage, he obtained the Nascent Soul stage magic item, the Heaven and Earth Mirror.

Zhu Yi gave his disciple, Yang Tie, the Dragon Slaying Sabre. After he formed his aurous core, he would give him the Desolate Nine Thunder Divine Web.

Huang Zhenting from Shi Tianhao's Wasteland Valley was even better equipped. Other than the Curse Cultivating Black Armor, he also obtained the Tiger Soul Golden Plate from Shi Tianhao. However, as the Green Bronze Crucible of Emptiness was taken back by Lin Feng. Instead, Lin Feng gave Shi Tianhao the Nascent Soul stage item, the Yellow Pavilion Sword Imprint. After Haung Zhenting formed his aurous core, he would get this item too.

Wang Lin's Dual Polarity Circle and Cloud Elephant Seal were lost in the Void Battleground. With his subsequent rise in mastery, he no longer needed any Nascent Soul stage magic items.

If the need was there, Lin Feng could cultivate some Aurous Core stage and Nascent Soul stage items easily. However, in the name of succession, he asked Lin Feng for two more magic items.

Yue Hongyan, Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu were in similar situations. For example, after Yang Qing formed his nascent soul, he passed his Space-Chopping Dagger to Zhou Yuncong. Furthermore, he had already given his Demon-Destroying Crimson Silk to Zhou Yuncong when he was in his Foundation Establishment stage.

Of course, as the Heaven and Earth Mirror, the Desolate Nine Thunder Divine Web, the Dragon-Slaying Sabre were not originally from the Celestial Sect of Wonders, they may not be the most powerful items in their tiers.

Hence, Xiao Yan and the rest used their own mana to further refine these items. Today, many of them had changed and while some kept their original names, most of them were given new names.

For example, the Heaven and Earth Mirror was further refined by Xiao Yan with the Pure Yang Primordial Fire. Hence, he changed its name to the Pure Yang Heaven and Earth Mirror. After the Anti-Celestial Sect, Xiao Yan obtained the True Torch of Kṣitigarbha. Hence, he took the mirror back from Tang Jun to turn it into the Kṣitigarbha Pure Yang Mirror and then gave it to back to him once more.

However, this sort of succession was limited to magic items only for now. This was because magic items were easy to cultivate and their powers could be changed. For magic treasures, they should be rooted in the powers of the individual abodes. It was not good to pass down magic treasures from other sects or abodes.

Even so, Tang Jun and the rest had many powerful items with them. Every First Disciple in the Celestial Sect of Wonders was relatively well-off.

The sect did not mistreat the other disciples too. The Celestial Sect of Wonders was generous to its own disciples. While their items may not be as much, it was still quite a lot and under Lin Feng's guidance, everyone was okay with the arrangement.

In particular, it was not easy being the First Disciple. While they did obtain many goodies, they had to bear significant responsibility. Some disciples did not even dare shoulder it.

Hence, Tang Jun was slightly puzzled as he held the black robes in his hand. Even if he did help his master out, the reward should not be this extravagant.

If it was used for defense, how could a Nascent Soul stage magic item compare to a Mahayana level magic treasure, the Saros Magical Tree?

Chapter 972: The Last Pure-Blooded White Tiger

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Tang Jun held the Nascent Soul stage black robe and felt slightly strange. However, Xiao Yan quickly explained, "After I formed my Immortal Soul, I will have to open another abode outside of Mount Yujing. Your second uncle, third uncle and little uncle must do the same thing. After your other uncles formed their Immortal Soul, they too must do it. This a rule your grandmaster had set."

"It's too early to speak of it now. However, if I want to open another abode, I have to find the best blessed spot. This is not something I can do immediately, but you should at least be informed."

Tang Jun nodded his head understandingly.

When Xiao Yan opened another abode, he would have to take on more responsibilities.

Essentially, whenever Xiao Yan go to the other abode, Tang Jun must remain on top of the Inferno Precipice on Mount Yujing as its gatekeeper. If Xiao Yan decided to stay on Mount Yujing, then Tang Jun had to take care of his master's affairs in the other abode.

It's the same for Huang Zhenting and the rest.

When Xiao Yan saw that he understood, he nodded his head and said, "Your other uncles and I will be giving you lot more and more pressure. Naturally, we have to ensure that you are capable of handling these responsibilities too. Hence, we decided to specially cultivate a magic item for our First Disciples. Furthermore, the magic items we have cultivated for our First Disciples shall the same."

Tang Jun nodded his head to indicate that he understood. He was the First Disciple of the second generation. There would be First Disciples of the third and fourth generations too.

Xiao Yan pointed at the black robe and said, "This magic item is known as the Pure Yang Daoist Robe and is formed from the cultivation of the Pure Yang Primordial Fire. He who wears it shall control the primordial fires better. When an enemy attack, it shall spew out Pure Yang Primordial Fire as a defensive measure. Not only could it protect you, it could also injure the enemy."

"Other than that, I will give you another item, the Grand Sun Crown. It is formed from the Grand Sun Primordial Fire and it's a Nascent Soul stage magic item. It's mainly used for offense. However, I still need to further refine this item and I shall only give it to you upon your return."

Tang Jun knew that with Xiao Yan's cultivation, if he needed to 'further refine' an item, the item was surely worth the wait.

While Tang Jun was curious how did the pure white Pure Yang Primordial Fire form a pure black robe, he did not ask about it. When he saw the black robe his master wore over his purple robes, the answer came to him.

However, when he thought about it carefully, Tang Jun's normally calm state of mind was slightly rattled too.

He was only in his Beginner Aurous Core stage. Including the Grand Sun Crown, he would have three Nascent Soul stage items. Across the lands, very few Nascent Soul stage cultivators possessed this many items. He appeared to be armed to the teeth.

Xiao Yan swept him with his gaze and asked, "Are you happy?"

Tang Jun looked at his master and replied truthfully, "Yes, master."

Xiao Yan then smiled and said, "What an honest lad, when I was at your stage, I did not have this many items."

Here, Xiao Yan started to laugh. Today, the resources of the Celestial Sect of Wonders could not be compared to their founding days. In terms of both material and non-material resources, the Celestial Sect of Wonders was better in every single way.

However, they still had to be judicious with their resources. They could not possibly arm every single one of their successive disciples like how Xiao Yan armed Tang un.

"Just like what master said, heavy responsibilities make a man," sighed Xiao Yan. Then, he looked at Tang Jun and said quietly, "Don't be too happy. Regardless whether it's the Pure Yang Daoist Robe or the Grand Sun Crown, you must use these items properly so as to not waste them."

Tang Jun was touched. Xiao Yan evidently did not want him to just use these items for battling.

After thinking about it for a while, Tang Jun said seriously, "Please don't worry, master. I will do my best and I won't disappoint you."

The richer one becomes, the more likely he will get robbed. The better one's environment was, the more one needed to improve his training, will, mastery and mindset. If not, he will be like a lamb for slaughter for others.

For a tiger to be given wings, he must be worthy as a 'tiger' first. Only then could we talk about the wings.

Xiao Yan nodded his head satisfactorily and said, "It's good that you understand. Go and find Saros, he will bring you to the Ancient Longevity World."

After Saros brought Tang Jun away from the mountain, Lin Feng did not pay any more attention to it. Instead, his focused his attention on the White Tiger Grand Sage. Without the suppression of the Saros Magical Tree, Lin Feng had to act himself as he tried to find out about the gateway into the Starry Sea.

The White Tiger Grand Sage was severely injured, and he had yet to recover. All he could do now was to await interrogation.

This demon was arrogant and tough. Now that he was in Lin Feng's hands, he did not speak a single word. He knew that resistance was futile and hence, he would not humiliate himself by submitting to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng stared at him and said plainly, "I don't intend to torture you. However, I must be clear on something. I must take the gate to the Starry Sea from you. If you don't hand it over yourself, then you will surely be in for a lot of pain."

The White Tiger Grand Sage shut his eyes and said nothing.

Lin Feng shook his head and pointed with his finger. The White Tiger Grand Sage's mouth was forced open.

In his enormous mouth, one could see the twinkling of stars. It was like an entrance to a world full of stars.

Lin Feng closed his palms and he started to use his Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell. The spell enveloped the White Tiger Grand Sage as it slowly pried the gate away from the White Tiger Grand Sage.

The White Tiger Grand Sage was immobilized by the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell and he could not move. All he could do was to endure the power of the mana. He knew that the subsequent process would be more painful than death from a thousand cuts.

At least death by a thousand cuts had a fixed number of 'cuts'. The situation before the White Tiger Grand Sage appeared to be endless. It would only stop when Lin Feng pried the gate to the Starry Sea away from him.

Lin Feng looked at the White Tiger Grand Sage and heaved his shoulders. He had no interest in torturing others for information nor did he have the time. However, if the White Tiger Grand Sage did not cooperate, that was the only matter.

Of course, there was a simpler way, which was to kill him straightaway.

"There are very few pure-blooded White Tigers and hence, I shall spare you," Lin Feng paused and said. Then, he said in a low voice, "However, this method is painful indeed and you are a tough nut to crack. I admire that. If you want a painless death first, I can allow that. Decide for yourself."

The White Tiger Grand Sage fell silent for a while before he said, "I'll give you the gate to the Starry Sea."

"So quickly?" Lin Feng stared at him and his gaze flashed as he asked, "Do you have kids?"

The White Tiger Grand Sage scoffed and said nothing. Lin Feng then asked, "Do you have any elders?"

The White Tiger Grand Sage was still silent. Lin Feng said in shocked voice, "Wow, you are the last pure-blooded White Tiger?"

It was impossible that the White Tiger Grand Sage had not reproduced a single time till now. However, the pure-blooded White Tiger could only have a single offspring. After he had one kid, he could only reproduce again when that single kid dies.

For various reasons, the many kids of the White Tiger Grand Sage all perished. Of course, he could continue to reproduce with other demons. However, since his last closed-door training to cross the tribulation, he had no such plan. It was pure bad luck that the Golden Cicada requested his presence when he went after Lin Feng that time.

Normally speaking, demons prioritized reproduction. It was likely that the White Tiger Grand Sage planned on reproducing after he had completed his closed-door training. However, as he neglected it just that one time, he made an almost irreversible mistake.

In another time and place, the White Tiger Grand Sage would resist to the end. Even if Lin Feng would eventually take away his gate to the Starry Sea, he would not submit to Lin Feng.

However, he now had to consider that the price of his resistance was either imprisonment or execution. This could make his kind go extinct.

He did not fear death in battle because he knew that more one feared death, the quicker death would come. However, after he was captured by Lin Feng, he had to consider the issue of his succession.

He looked at Lin Feng and said, "The gate to the Starry Sea is merged with my true form. Even if I cooperate with you and help you to extract it, it will take quite some time."

Lin Feng said quietly, "I know that. If you are willing to cooperate, I will definitely not make it hard for you. However, you must know that since you cooperated with the Golden Cicada to plot against me, you will still be punished. While I won't kill, I will not allow you to leave so easily even after you handed the gate to the Starry Sea over."

The White Tiger Grand Sage fell silent. Naturally, he knew that regardless whether he cooperated or not, the gate to the Starry Sea would end up in Lin Feng's hand. Resistance was futile.

He fell silent for a long while before he said in a low voice, "I need to reproduce."

Lin Feng said, "You settle the issue of your mate. I can allow you to return to the Barren Expanse. However, you better don't do anything against my interest."

The White Tiger Grand Sage sighed. Even if he had a kid, his descendant would likely fall under the control of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, at least for the immediate future.

However, that's for him to worry about later. Before that, he needed to cooperate with Lin Feng and hand over the gate to the Starry Sea.

With the cooperation of the White Tiger Grand Sage, it was much easier to obtain the gate to the Starry Sea, even though it was still a rather long process.

As he felt the aura of the starlight from the gate to the Starry Sea, Lin Feng thought, "The Ancient Desolate Galaxy, otherwise known as the Starry Sea, is one of the Grand Celestial Seven Seas. It is truly unique. Amongst the 6 gates into it, I only know the location of 4 of them. Where are the other two?"

"If the Hades Tribe has one, where is the other?"

Due to the uniqueness of the gate to the Starry Sea, it was likely that the last owner was as low-profile as the White Tiger Grand Sage.

In the next few days, other than extracting the gate to the Starry Sea from the White Tiger Grand Sage, Lin Feng continued to train his disciples. Time passed quickly.

After a while, Tang Jun and the Saros Magical Tree returned. The result of their trip was not bad.

Chapter 973: Lin Feng, Thunderstruck!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Tang Jun and the Saros Magical Tree returned peacefully from the Ancient Longevity World. When they left the Ancient Longevity World, Xiao Zhener was in the final stage of ascending into the Immortal Soul stage. While they did not know the results, Tang Jun was able to meet with Xiao Zhener. According to what she said, she appeared confident of success.

Other than that, Tang Jun also brought back other news.

"Zhener's father personally met with Tian Cang and told him to bring back this piece of news," said Xiao Yan as a look of surprise crossed his face. "The split in the Ancient Longevity World could be related to the Emperor of the Dead and his third disciple, the Nether Priest."

Xiao Yan was not delighted because of the news but instead, he was happy that Xiao Zhener's father told Tang Jun to bring the news back to him.

The information pertaining to the Emperor of the Dead and the Nether Priest might be a result of the Ancients' own investigation or a piece of information that the Great Void Sect had passed down.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Emperor of the Dead were never close. To ally with the Celestial Sect of Wonders over this was a show of friendship by the Ancients.

If this information was from the Great Void Sect, the significance behind this act was even greater.

Of course, it was only a show of friendship. Like what Lin Feng had said, the Ancients had yet to make their final decision.

Lin Feng looked at the delighted Xiao Yan, pointed at him and said, "Now, can you relax?"

Xiao Yan chuckled happily. He suddenly appeared to have thought of something as he looked at Lin Feng and asked, "Master, does Zhener's father suspect that the Emperor of the Dead is coveting their pieces of the All Creations Seal, do you think we should…"

The All Creations Seal was the supreme treasure that the Emperor of the Dead used to rule during the Antiquity Age. With the All Creation Seal, the Emperor of the Dead had power over life and death itself. With its powers, he was able to start forging the Life and Death Book too.

However, before he completed the Life and Death Book, the Emperor of the Dead was overthrown and the All Creations Seal was completely destroyed. There were only a few pieces here and there. Finally, they fell into the hands of the Emperor of the Ancients, who overthrew the Emperor of the Dead.

The pieces of the All Creations Seal were useful in helping the descendants of the Emperor of the Ancients cultivate their Ancient Immortality Scripture. Hence, they kept it and passed it down.

Lin Feng said quietly, "The Emperor of the Undead is in the crosshair of both the Great Void Sect and us. He won't easily reveal himself and since the All Creations Seal had been destroyed and all that is left are the pieces, he won't take the risk. Since the Ancients mentioned this, there must be something else they possess that he covets."

"That item, along with the pieces of the All Creations Seal, may encourage the Emperor of the Dead to take the risk."

He looked at Xiao Yan and smiled and said, "Cultivate quietly for the next few days and prepare yourselves. After a while, you can personally visit the Ancient Longevity World and meet your parents-in-law."

"Relax, master, I've been anticipating this day for a long time." Xiao Yan looked pumped.

After Xian Yan left, Lin Feng shook his head and smiled as he thought, "Compared to the Black Sea, the Ying Sea, the Void Sea and the Starry Sea, the Netherworld Sea is truly something mysterious to all of us."

"The Netherworld Sea and the Nether Priest, third disciple of the Emperor of the Dead. Even if his own junior, Xu Anda, did not know where is he. Where can the Emperor of the Dead possibly be hiding then?"

Lin Feng then thought, "The Emperor of the Dead indeed has many back-up plans. With the elimination of the Samsara Priest and the River Styx Priest, coupled with the betrayal of Xu Anda, he still has one more option. No matter how brutal he is, he is more cunning than the Golden Cicada."

Lin Feng suddenly laughed, "I wonder if the Nether Priest will betray him? That will be interesting."

As he thought about it, Lin Feng felt a tug in his heart. His gaze turned to the River Abode as he said, "Oh, is Yuanfang about to form his nascent soul?"

During the last voyage to the Barren Expanses, not only did Huang Zhenting, Han Yang and the other junior disciples benefitted in terms of experience, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu were able to benefit from it. After they returned from the Barren Expanses, they immediately started their closed-door training.

In the big house in the center of the River Abode, Li Yuanfang sat cross-legged. His aurous core shone in a purple light above his head and the space above his body appeared to be twisted. Bolts after bolts of Void Lightning appeared. He was about to pass his Thunder Tribulations and form his nascent soul.

Lin Feng looked at it and smiled.

Li Yuanfang always did things in an orderly fashion, including undergoing the Thunder Tribulations. If he dared to undergo it, it meant that he had a 100% chance of success.

Indeed, he passed the Void Lightning Tribulations without any problem.

Arcane and mystical spell formations appeared and turned into round, light circle as they shielded Li Yuanfang's aurous core and helped him undergo the Void Lighting Tribulations.

When the Void Lightning Tribulations finally settled, the aurous core split open and bright light burst forth. In the light, an infant boy sat cross-legged. He was identical to Li Yuanfang's infant self. This was his nascent soul.

The commotion in the River Abode alerted the other members of Mount Yujing. Except Luo Qingwu, who was undergoing her closed-door training and could not sense anything, beams of light shone into the sky from the other abodes.

"Congratulations Sixth Junior for ascending into the Nascent Soul stage."

"Congratulations Sixth Junior for ascending into the Nascent Soul stage."

Immediately, the successive disciples on Mount Yujing too left their residence. They headed towards the River Abode and bowed while congratulating Li Yuanfang on his achievement.

The disciples of the River Abode were extremely joyous too as they paid their respect to him.

Li Yuanfang called his nascent soul back into his body and flew out of the big house. In mid-air, he bowed solemnly to the other abodes.

Then, he stepped onto the void and walked step-by-step before Lin Feng. In front of Lin Feng, he knelt and said, "Greetings, master."

The system rang next to Lin Feng's ears. "Congratulations on your immediate disciple's, Li Yuanfang, nascent soul formation. Currently, 6 of host's disciples have formed their nascent soul in less than 50 years."

He lifted Li Yuanfang and said with a smile, "The River Map Grandmaster can be at ease."

Li Yuanfang's lips trembled as he kowtowed once more to Lin Feng. Then, he kowtowed three times to the north, before kowtowing to Lin Feng once more.

He stood up and as his eyes brimmed with emotions as he stared at Lin Feng and said, "Master…"

Lin Feng smiled and waved his hands as he said, "Your achievement today is a result of your own hard work. I am proud of you, very proud."

He pointed with his finger and a ray of jade-green light shot through the air. It was like a green ray of sunlight, barely visible.

That was the Yuan Heaven Emerald Needle that Lin Feng obtained from the East Heaven's Gate. It had been completely subdued by Lin Feng and was extremely obedient.

Other than that, a rusty, yellow clock appeared next to the Yuan Heaven Emerald Needle. A powerful suppressive aura could be felt from it. Its effect was especially strong on the soul. When one's soul was suppressed, one lost his ability to think and move.

This was a magic treasure the Celestial Sect of Wonders obtained from the Hall of the Dead, the Soul-Repressing Clock. Likewise, it had been subdued by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng said, "Yuanfang, you can start cultivating your Four Appearances Heaven Cleaving Script and obtain the Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation. With this as your foundation, you can study the Two Elements of Creation Formation. With the Four Appearances Heaven Cleaving Script, you can master the Light Dust Spell-Manifesting Formation. With the Nameless Ancient Formation of the Celestial Mountains of the Ying Sea, you obtained the Black Nightmare Saint-Trapping Formation."

"Your Light Dust Spell-Manifesting Formation can turn into other spell formations and your Black Nightmare Saint-Trapping Formation is your main weapon against enemies and you can combine it with the Nine Heavens Squall Formation. Hence, the magic treasures I prepared for you are the Yuan Heaven Emerald Needle and the Soul-Repressing Clock. Choose one."

The Black Nightmare Saint-Trapping Formation was the spell formation Li Yuanfang came up with through studying the Nameless Ancient Formation of the Celestial Mountains of the Ying Sea and then combining it with his understanding of the Four Appearances Heaven Cleaving Script.

At the peak of the Nameless Ancient Formation, not only could it take away the senses of those who entered it, it could also strip them of their consciousness, turning them into vegetables.

Li Yuanfang's Black Nightmare Saint-Trapping Formation was derived from it. Its effects were similar. However, it was affected by Li Yuanfang's own mana.

Even if a powerful cultivator entered it, his consciousness might not be taken away. However, his senses would be severely affected. At that time, if one were to place the devious Yuan Heaven Emerald Needle in it, killing one's enemy would be extremely easy.

As for the Soul-Repressing Clock, if it was combined with the Black Nightmare Saint-Trapping Formation, it could further strengthen its abilities and maximize its suppressive powers.

However, while it was powerful, suppressive combination, its killing powers would be a lot weaker.

The tradition of the Hall of the Dead was to combine the Soul-Repressing Clock with the Soul-Shaking Bell and use both together.

However, even if Li Yuanfang chose the Soul-Repressing Clock, it was still fine because his Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation could use the South Heavenly Gate Spell Formation, which was derived from the Heaven Destroying Sword Formation. It was more destructive than the Two Elements of Creation Formation.

These two treasures were both suitable for Li Yuanfang.

Li Yuanfang looked at the Yuan Heaven Emerald Needle and the Soul-Repressing Clock for a while, bowed to Lin Feng and said, "Master, I choose the Soul-Repressing Clock."

Lin Feng nodded his head and kept the Yuan Heaven Emerald Needle. Then, he passed the Soul-Repressing Clock to Li Yuanfang. After he taught Li Yuanfang how to use it, he sent him back to rest in his abode.

Soon afterwards, Huang Zhenting successfully formed his aurous core too. The second-generation disciples of the Wasteland Valley welcomed their first Aurous Core stage disciple, making Shi Tianhao extremely happy.

However, the Daoist name Shi Tianhao prepared for Huang Zhenting shocked Lin Feng!

Tian Lei! (Translator's Note: This means Heavenly Thunder)

While some felt that it was straightforward, many too viewed it as a powerful, strong name. It was a good complement to the spells of the Wasteland Valley. Huang Zhenting too liked it a lot. However, Lin Feng was thunderstruck. He did not know if he should laugh or cry.

Soon afterwards, good news came from the Qingwu Pavilion. However, it was not from Luo Qingwu but her disciple, Han Yang, instead.

As a second-generation disciple who joined rather late, Han Yang had already exhibited exceptional potential. He became the tenth second-generation disciple to form his aurous core.

However, as his master had yet to complete her closed-door training, he still had to wait for a while before he could get his Daoist name.

While Luo Qingwu had been doing closed-door training for quite a while now, Lin Feng was not in a rush. Instead, he was rather excited. "9 for Innate Ability is still rather unstable."

Chapter 974: All of the Immediate Disciples Are in the Nascent Soul Stage

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng's own mantra, the Heavenly Classic of the Way's Virtues, was not easy to cultivate and its cultivators must be of a certain quality.

Wang Lin, at the start, was the best example. Before his Innate Ability was augmented, even with full values for Intelligence and Determination, it was still extremely difficult for him to cultivate it.

However, if one was able to cultivate it successfully, then the results would be astounding.

Foundation Establishment stage disciples who cultivated it to great effect would surely form a First Class Spiritual Altar, a First Class Spiritual Crucible and when they obtained their aurous core, it would be a purple one.

If the Divine Lands knew about this news, then they would be in an uproar.

However, even though there's 100% chance of success for forming a First Class Spiritual Altar, it was still not easy to form a Supreme Spiritual Altar.

With Lin Feng's current resources and the conditions for cultivating, even for disciples who scored 9 for Innate Ability, they had to depend on luck.

Lin Tong, who cultivated after she turned into a human, and Zhou Yuncong, who was a Yang-Incinerating Entity, all possessed 9 for Innate Ability. However, they were still unable to form their Supreme Spiritual Altars. This was slightly regretful to Xiao Yan and Yang Qing.

Lin Feng too felt that it was regretful. However, it was not exactly bad news. There was some good news too.

Luo Qingwu, who had an Innate Ability of 9 too, and Xiao Yan's First Disciple Tang Jun were able to successfully form their Supreme Spiritual Altars and Supreme Spiritual Crucibles. During their core formation, there were abnormalities too!

The two of them had perfect cultivation foundations. When they form their nascent souls, they would surely obtain the Holy Light of Creation.

Tang Jun was still far from his soul formation. Lin Feng was excited for Luo Qingwu as he wanted to see what kind of Holy Light of Creation she would form.

The power and use of every single Holy Light of Creation were different and unique. It was only one type of Holy Light of Creation completely disappeared could a Holy Light of Creation of the same type appear once more.

However, there were very few Holy Lights of Creation. In the long history of the Grand Celestial World, the same Holy Light of Creation rarely appeared more than once.

In Lin Feng's Celestial Sect of Wonders, they had the highest concentration of Holy Lights of Creation. After Tang Jun formed his nascent soul and obtained his Holy Light of Creation, it would surely cause another shockwave.

Indeed, when the Void Lightning Tribulation enveloped Luo Qingwu, other than the sword Qi that resisted against the Void Lightning, one could see a black light flashing in and out of appearance too.

The purple-robed girl left her pavilion and sat cross-legged on top of it. The Xuanche Sword was laid horizontally across her knees.

On top of her head, there was an odd-looking core. Its entire body was black, but it shone radiantly. Purple light could be seen from it.

In the center of the core, one could see a silent, black light swirling about. It was not eye-catching but extremely terrifying.

After the Void Lightning Tribulation, the core split open and shone with light. A female, baby infant appeared and she resembled Luo Qingwu exactly. A black-colored Holy Light of Creation circled around her nascent soul.

When Lin Feng saw that, he started to smile. He did not say much as a ray of black and white holy light shot into the sky.

At the same time, two rainbow-like Holy Light of Creation shot into the sky from the Wasteland Valley. They were Shi Tianhao's Origin Holy Light and Final Holy Light.

Under the influence of her master and senior, Luo Qingwu exhaled a long breath of air and made a sound like a phoenix. The black light that surrounded her nascent soul turned into a black pillar of light as it enveloped her and pierced through the heaven.

Laughs of joy could be heard from the Inferno Precipice, the Heavenly Temple, the Forest Abode, the Blizzard Valley, the Nirvana World, the River Abode and the Wasteland Valley. "Congratulations Little Junior for successfully forming your nascent soul and reaching the Nascent Soul stage as well as obtaining your Holy Light of Creation. This is truly a rare achievement."

A group of second-generation disciples too left their abodes and bowed in the direction of the Qingwu Pavilion. "Congratulations little aunt for forming your Nascent Soul."

Han Yang stood outside the Qingwu Pavilion and looked at the young girl on top of it. Without a hint of arrogance and cunning, he straightened his face and said slowly, "Congratulations, master."

Lin Feng and Shi Tianhao retracted their Holy Light of Creation. Luo Qingwu too retracted the black light pillar as her nascent soul returned to her body. She flew up into the air and bowed to all the abodes as she said, "Thank you fellow disciples for your love and concern."

She turned into a ray of light and appeared before Lin Feng, where she knelt down and said, "Thank you master for your love and concern. You made me into who I am today."

A notification sounded from the side of Lin Feng's ears, "Congratulations host as your immediate disciple, Luo Qingwu, has formed her nascent soul in less than 50 years. Now, 7 of host's immediate disciples have formed their nascent souls."

Right now, all of Lin Feng's immediate disciple had formed their nascent soul. When the news spread, friendly powers came to congratulate him, delighting Lin Feng.

With a sect full of heroes who had realized their potential, Lin Feng was extremely happy.

He lifted her up and looked around him. First, he looked at the Inferno Precipice and the other abodes. Then, he looked at Mount Yujing before finally looking at the Mirror Lake, Cloud Mirror City and the clouds underneath Mount Yujing. At long last, he took a look at the Celestial Wonders World.

After he had looked through everything, Lin Feng smiled and thought, "That's more like it."

A second thought appeared in his head, "Cunning system. Including Wang Lin, eight of my disciples had formed their nascent souls. Somehow, the number 7 did not seem right."

He shook his head as he laughed at his thinking. He chased these thoughts out of his mind as he looked at his disciple once more, "Congratulations, Qingwu."

Luo Qingwu's eyes were slightly red as she said, "It's all thanks to master's teaching…"

It was the warm, smiling person before her that freed her from the Heavenly Yin Spiritual Pearl and saved her after her fall from her grace. Then, he helped her back up and allowed her to scale even greater heights than before. With his own hands, he made her into who she was today.

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, "All I did was to bring you into the sect. Your achievement today is a result of your own cultivation and hard work. All I did was to guide you. Rotten wood is hard to sculpt into statues, but you are no rotten wood."

He meant every word he said. The little girl was now a mature, young woman. Her growth could not only be measured in terms of height.

Initially, she was weak and lazy. Right now, that was all in the past.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Good job, now that you are a big girl and a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, you can go and have your moment in the sun. Many people want to congratulate you and your own disciple is in the Aurous Core stage too. You can stop crying in front of me already."

Luo Qingwu smiled and sniffled. Before Lin Feng, she could not control her emotions and was still the young girl who had just joined the sect.

Lin Feng smiled and pointed his fingers in mid-air. A light flashed and a bamboo stick that was a verdant green appeared in mid-air.

Luo Qingwu looked at it carefully and realized that the bamboo stick had seven segments. It contained a massive, mystic power within.

Luo Qingwu then discovered that there appeared to be a fire dancing on the bamboo stick.

With her supernatural awareness, she was able to sense a powerful Fire Essence on the surface of the bamboo stick.

While it seemed strange that fire could co-exist with a bamboo stick, there was a deeper meaning behind this.

Of course, Luo Qingwu could clearly sense that a clouded, but real consciousness in the bamboo stick. It was as if it had a life on its own.

This was evidently a magic treasure.

Lin Feng smiled. This was the Seven Treasures Bamboo Fire. After he flattened the Samsara Sect Path of the Heaven-Born, he realized that many of their treasures were unsuitable for him. Hence, he exchanged these treasures through the system and obtained the Seven Treasures Bamboo Fire Cane.

It was rather expensive as he needed more than one Gestation level magic treasure to get it. However, it was worth his effort.

"After every one of you form your nascent soul, I will bestow a magic treasure unto you. This Seven Treasures Bamboo Fire Cane is yours, Qingwu," said Lin Feng, "This magic treasure is special in its own way and is immensely powerful. Furthermore, it is very suitable for you."

Luo Qingwu was touched. When she took the Seven Treasures Bamboo Fire Cane, she ran her fingers through it carefully and nodded her head furiously, "Thank you master. With this treasure, regardless whether I cultivate the Seven Fires Sky-Reaching Sword or if I use it in the future, it will surely be useful."

By cultivating the Four Appearances Heaven-Cleaving Script, Luo Qingwu was able to obtain the Great Four Appearances Saint-Slaying Sword. Other than the Heavenly Wind Formless Sword, she was able to master three other types of sword techniques.

As a Pure Yin Entity, cultivation to her was extremely easy at times.

However, it was because of her status that made it difficult for her to cultivate the Seven Fires Sky-Reaching Sword. While she was able to understand the mantra behind it, it was hard for her to wield it.

Today, with the Seven Treasures Bamboo Fire Cane, that problem was resolved. Not only did it help her wield the Seven Fires Sky-Reaching Sword, she would also find it easier to use this move in the future.

Lin Feng smiled and nodded his head. While he did not personally cultivate it, he was very particular about the types of magic treasure he gave to his disciples. He tried to fit their requirements and make up for their shortfalls to further strengthen them.

Luo Qingwu went back to the Qingwu Pavilion to cultivate her magic treasure and nurture her nascent soul. Lin Feng turned his attention back onto the White Tiger Grand Sage and the gate to the Starry Sea.

At the same time, Lin Feng started to pay attention to the Barren Expanses, the Emperor of the Dead, the Great Void Sect, the Ancient Longevity World and other major powers.

The sudden visit by the Great Void Sect to the Ancient Longevity World informed the Ancients that the tear in the Netherworld Sea was related to the Emperor of the Undead. Lin Feng tried his best to derive the connection between the two of them. He was sure that the Great Void Sect's visit to the Ancient Longevity World was somehow related to the Emperor of the Dead.

The Ancient Longevity World had something that the Emperor of the Dead wanted. The Great Void Sect wanted to use it as a bait to lure and kill him.

However, the Emperor of the Dead probably realized it already. It's either that or he deemed the item in the Ancient Longevity World not worth the risk. After a long time, there was no movement from the Emperor of the Dead's side.

"It's either that or he's planning something. Will he act afterwards?" Lin Feng thought.
