Peerless Martial God

Chapter 2212: Shrine and Ma.s.sacre

Edited by RED

Lin Feng watched Gu Xuan Tian. Another demon king had appeared behind Gu Xuan Tian. After that, demon lights glittered. Lin Feng saw Gu Xuan Tian"s body divide into nine demon shadows. Five were at the bottom, three in the middle and one at the top, nine demon kings. A mighty demon Qi kept emerging from them. He looked like a peerless demon fighter.

A wave of demonic energies swept out from him. The demon looked extremely arrogant. The atmosphere became oppressive.

Lin Feng released an endless amount of Holy Spirit and modified Sky Absorbing strength. Nine words started floating around him. An ancient and oppressive Qi filled the air as he divided into three silhouettes. Lin Feng couldn"t afford to be careless in front of a genius of a Shrine.

"Show me how strong you can get!" The nine demons shot towards Lin Feng, explosive strength emerging from them. The nine demons raised their hands at the same time and emitted furious shrieks. They had the same movements, and their explosive strength kept increasing.

Lin Feng looked cold and detached. He used his holy fist and roared out. Ancient Sky Absorbing strength surged out. A gigantic demon punch collided with the holy punch. Terrifying energies exploded. Gu Xuan Tian looked excited. He waved his hands, and terrifying demon strength continued moving towards Lin Feng. He wanted to destroy Lin Feng!

Lin Feng raised his head and released towering sword strength. A gigantic sword streaked across the sky and destroyed the gigantic demon hands.

—

"Lin Feng is really strong. Against all expectations, he can compete with Gu Xuan Tian. I wonder how strong Gu Xuan Tian can be, though. People from Shrines can fight using many different methods."

People from the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds weren"t all like Lin Feng. Jiu Ling Huang had Vermilion Bird"s wings. He was from a Shrine, and he couldn"t be much weaker than Gu Xuan Tian. Fire appeared in his hands, looking alive. Jiu Ling Huang attacked the fire which was moving towards him with fire, but surprisingly, his fire instantly disappeared.

"Die!" shouted Jin Xing Zi at that moment. His fire turned into a fire mace, looking ever more terrifying. He wanted to crush his opponent!

Jiu Ling Huang released more flames, which looked like they were dancing in the air around him. The flames turned into a terrifying fire armor. Nine terrifying beams of light crashed onto the fire armor at the same time, but they didn"t pierce through. Jin Xing Zi smiled coldly. He threw himself at Jiu Ling Huang and released even more fire. The fire pierced through the Jiu Ling Huang"s fire armor and the armor started weakening. Many flames also emerged from Jin Xing Zi"s fire mace and strengthened his attacks.

When the crowd saw that, their faces stiffened. Jin Xing Zi had a fire body, he could drain and absorb Jiu Ling Huang"s fire. He could even absorb Jiu Ling Huang"s nine flames. What could Jiu Ling Huang do against that?

"Jiu Ling Huang is in danger!" the crowd when they saw a vortex appear around Jiu Ling Huang"s fire armor. Something was absorbing his fire. At the same time, his nine flames fled and returned to Jiu Ling Huang"s body. Jiu Ling Huang couldn"t let his nine flames move away from him, otherwise he would have lost his entire defense. When his nine flames were outside, his opponent could swallow them. Jiu Ling Huang couldn"t afford to lose his fire!

"Come back." Jiu Ling Huang sensed the danger. His expression didn"t change. He had recalled his fire into his body. Fire rotating around him. Nine flames glittered in his body. His opponent"s fire still couldn"t pierce through his body!

However, at that moment, Jin Xing Zi"s fire mace crashed onto Jiu Ling Huang"s body. A terrifying fire which could make anything explode bombarded Jiu Ling Huang"s vital organs. That fire oppressed his strength.

"Slash, slas.h.!.+" Jiu Ling Huang grunted with pain and coughed up blood and flames as he was hurled away. He couldn"t stand steadily anymore. A terrifying fire was corroding his body. It felt like his opponent"s fire had planted fire seeds in his body.

Jiu Ling Huang closed his eyes. He made his inner fire move towards those fire seeds. He had to get rid of them. However, at that moment, Jin Xing Zi smiled evilly. He slowly walked towards Jiu Ling Huang.

A genius of the Continent of the Nine Clouds? He was a genius from a Shrine! He had gone through a lot in life. He had been chosen, selected, and eliminated many times during various events in his life. He had also gone through terrifying battles and killed many people. He was one of the three strongest emperors of the Fire Shrine, a core disciple of the Fire Shrine. He was an important element of the Fire Shrine! Most people at the same level, were too far behind to ever catch up.

—

"Oh no, the strong cultivator of the Fire Shrine wants to kill Jiu Ling Huang!" protested the crowd. Many people frowned. It was the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, and now it was going to turn into a ma.s.sacre?

"The strong cultivator of the Fire Shrine isn"t the only one. The other geniuses from the Shrines also want to kill their opponents!" people called out. Their hearts were pounding as they gazed into the distance. They had never thought such a thing would happen.

"Ling Huang!" Ru Yun pulled a long face. How come? How was this possible? What was going on? Yao Yao looked extremely nervous and her face turned deathly pale. Her mouth twitched as she bit through her lips and blood appeared.

—

Jiu Ling Huang opened his eyes. He was burning and staring at his opponent.

"What a powerful fire. It"s going to become mine and I"ll break through to the Di Qi layer!" said Jin Xing Zi, staring at Jiu Ling Huang"s fire greedily. That kind of fire would be extremely beneficial for him!

He threw himself at Jiu Ling Huang, his fire mace leading the way.

Jiu Ling Huang didn"t only control fire strength. He could also carry out soul attacks. However, he had already tried them and they were useless against Jin Xing Zi because the latter managed to oppress them.

Jiu Ling Huang went into a frenzy. Jin Xing Zi"s fire pierced through his body. Jiu Ling Huang didn"t even block it. He used both hands to grab the handle of the fire mace and flames of fury burned in his eyes.

"Argh!" Jiu Ling Huang screamed defiantly. Scorching hot Qi rose. He turned into an ocean of flames and threw himself at Jin Xing Zi"s head.

Jin Xing Zi was shocked. He opened his eyes and spat out a fire bird reflexively. He wanted to absorb Jiu Ling Huang"s fire. However, Jiu Ling Huang"s fire continued pulsing out. Jin Xing Zi was astonished. He raised his hands to protect himself from the fire attack, jumping forwards as his own fire dashed to the skies. He disappeared in the fire and reappeared somewhere else. He didn"t even try to take back his fire mace.

He managed to injure me!, thought Jin Xing Zi. He was staring at his own hands. They were charred black, burned by Jiu Ling Huang"s fire. He pulled a long face and stared at Jiu Ling Huang with murder in his eyes. A terrifying flame arose and surrounded him.

Jiu Ling Huang"s face had paled. Jin Xing Zi really wanted to kill him!

Jin Xing Zi disappeared from where he was and turned into a fire shadow. Jiu Ling Huang waved his hands and condensed nine terrifying flames in a blazing inferno.

Even with charred hands, Jin Xing Zi still managed to destroy the fire and then threw himself at Jiu Ling Huang again. There was an explosion of impact, and Jiu Ling Huang was hurled again, coughing blood. He was severely injured.

—

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, Mara groaned with pain. An ice attack crashed onto his body. He had the impression he was going to turn into an ice statue. The cultivator of the Shrine wanted to kill him.

"Among the ten geniuses of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, two have been injured. They"re in danger!" the crowd frowned, their faces stiff.

Lin Feng, who was fighting against Gu Xuan Tian, also noticed that the situation was worsening around him for the other partic.i.p.ants of the meeting. He looked furious.

"You"re not here to exchange views on cultivation, you"re not here to compare yourselves with us. You"re here to slaughter us. The strong cultivators of the Shrines have come to kill!" said Lin Feng coldly.

An ancient tree appeared. It contained the energies of the ten thousand things of creation, radiating into the air. He condensed demon strength, shouted, and used a demon punch attack. Rumbling sounds spread out, and the sky trembled.

He moved quickly and landed next to Jiu Ling Huang. He said coldly, "If you have Great Imperial Weapons, use them. No need to be merciful. They"re not here to exchange views on cultivation!"

Lin Feng understood perfectly well that their Great Imperial Weapons probably weren"t as powerful as those of the members of the Shrines, but they were in danger, they had to resort to weapons. It was their last resort!

Chapter 2213: Danger

Edited by RED

The ten cultivators of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds had grave expressions. They agreed with Lin Feng. The geniuses from the Shrines weren"t there to exchange views on cultivation, they were there to kill them. They didn"t need to be merciful anymore. If they had been there to exchange views on cultivation, they would have stopped fighting after defeating their opponents, but Jiu Ling Huang had already been defeated, and his opponent continued attacking him!

Everybody had noticed that these people were not there to exchange views on cultivation, but to kill.

Gu Xuan Tian was astonished. Lin Feng was going insane and had a special tree inside his body. He was from a Shrine, he didn"t know that this tree was from the Dark Night Region"s G.o.dly Wood Valley, it was a Heavenly Grace Ancient Tree.

Lin Feng had punched him and sent him flying. He was furious. He looked at Lin Feng and Jiu Ling Huang. Then, he jumped and landed behind Lin Feng and Jiu Ling Huang, while Huo Xing Zi was in front of them.

A terrifying Qi filled the air. It was incredible.

"Huo Xing Zi, let"s play a game, let"s see who can kill them first!" said Gu Xuan Tian to Huo Xing Zi.

Huo Xing Zi"s eyes were filled with flames. His fire mace was already back in his hands. He said coldly, "That"s exactly what I wanted to do."

—

"Those two guys will kill Lin Feng and Jiu Ling Huang, that"s so cruel…" The crowd was shaking. Many people were furious. Lin Feng and the others were the strongest geniuses of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. They had gone through a lot to reach the top of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds" rankings. Now the Shrines had sent their own geniuses to attack them by surprise and kill them. That wasn"t fair at all!

"That bunch of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds are core disciples in Shrines. They are naturally really strong. If Lin Feng and the others had practiced cultivation at a Shrine for a long time, they would definitely be stronger than them."

"They made it to the very top of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, they just need more time to become unmatched cultivators. The Shrines don"t want them to become stronger!" Many people were indignant. The Shrines had joined hands and were attacking the geniuses of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds?! They had sent their core disciples on top of that!

"The ten Shrines are way too cruel!" some people in G.o.dly Clouds City shouted furiously. Even those who were outside of the battle stage and who had been eliminated before were furious. However, what could they do? Nothing. They couldn"t fight against the Shrines" geniuses. To the strong cultivators of the Shrines, those who had been eliminated were tiny little insects. The geniuses from the Shrines wanted to kill the top ten cultivators of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds; naturally they could easily kill those who had been eliminated before.

However, the crowd didn"t understand why the Shrines had joined hands to attack the geniuses of the meeting? Was it because of the Fortune Shrine? After all, those ten people were supposed to become disciples of the Fortune Shrine!

—

At that moment, Gu Xuan Tian and Huo Xing Zi charged Lin Feng and Jiu Ling Huang. Fire and demon energies intertwined. Gu Xuan Tian was surrounded by demon lights and Huo Xing Zi was holding his fire mace. They wanted to kill their opponents.

Lin Feng looked at them coldly. He said to Jiu Ling Huang, "Jiu Ling Huang, block Gu Xuan Tian"s attack and I"ll attack the guy from the Fire Shrine."

Huo Xing Zi hadn"t fought against Lin Feng yet, but he had bet with Gu Xuan Tian, they wanted to kill Lin Feng and Jiu Ling Huang first. Lin Feng was going to use that opportunity to attack him by surprise.

"Alright, I have Great Imperial Weapons. I"ll use them to stop him, but these people are from Shrines and they probably have powerful Great Imperial Weapons, too. If they use them, we"re going to die," replied Jiu Ling Huang. That"s why he hadn"t taken out any Great Imperial Weapon, because the members of the Shrines probably had even more powerful weapons on them.

"No choice. If we continue like this, we"ll all die here," said Lin Feng. They were all telepathically, the talk was done in an instant. He released a terrifying amount of wind and empty s.p.a.ce cosmic energies around himself and faced Huo Xing Zi.

"Are you getting ready to escape?" said Huo Xing Zi, staring at Lin Feng coldly. That kind of wind cosmic energy was good for moving fast. The battlefield was too small. He looked at Lin Feng as if he were looking at prey.

The fire in Huo Xing Zi"s fire mace became even more denser. Finally, he smiled cruelly and said, "Let"s see how strong the one who ranked first is!"

He advanced on Lin Feng. At the same time, he raised his fire mace and continued condensing fire in it.

Ling Huang raised his fists and punched out. A strong wind started shrieking as energies blotted out the sky.

More flames appeared in Huo Xing Zi"s eyes. He ran towards Lin Feng without the least hesitation. His fire became more and more powerful. If that fire penetrated into Lin Feng"s body, his physical body wouldn"t be able to resist it. Even Jiu Ling Huang was badly injured, even though he was from a fire family.

Dang! A cauldron echoed and shot towards Huo Xing Zi. Deadly lights rotated around it. Lin Feng had condensed as much energy as he could inside to attack Huo Xing Zi"s soul! Death soundwaves also started pulsing out. Everything around the cauldron smelled like death.

Dang! The cauldron rang again. Huo Xing Zi wasn"t far from the cauldron, but his body had already turned black, his soul trembling. He had the impression he was going to be crushed. The Death intent swept over him and bore down on his flames.

Lin Feng released death swords. His Death intent was astonis.h.i.+ngly strong.

He moved like the wind, terrifyingly fast, appearing in front of Huo Xing Zi in the twinkling of an eye. Huo Xing Zi was trying to get rid of the death strength which was corroding his body. When he saw Lin Feng appear in front of him, his face stiffened.

"Die!" shouted Lin Feng furiously. His demon voice made Huo Xing Zi"s eardrums tremble. Lin Feng raised his fist and punched out towards Xing Zi"s head furiously.

Huo Xing Zi"s expression stiffened as he stared at Lin Feng. Two killing fire lights emerged from his eyes. Lin Feng sensed the danger, but he continued punching out without hesitation.

"How insane!" the audience said when they saw that. Their hearts were pounding violently. Huo Xing Zi was a strong fire cultivator from the Fire Shrine, Lin Feng took great risks to attack him.

"Explode!" shouted Huo Xing Zi furiously. Huo Xing Zi was surrounded by fire lights and rose up into the air. The ancient cauldron followed him, making him look numb.

"He has some precious treasures in his eyes!" Lin Feng noticed. Huo Xing Zi shook his head, blood appearing down the sides. He glared at Lin Feng.

"How terrifying, Lin Feng surprisingly nearly destroyed Huo Xing Zi"s skull! His fist didn"t reach Huo Xing Zi"s face, but if it had, with Lin Feng"s strength, his head would have exploded!" the experts noticed.

Jiu Ling Huang had used a Great Imperial Weapon to stop Gu Xuan Tian"s attack. The other battles were also becoming more and more terrifying. The strong cultivators of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds gathered together. Zhou Rong Man had saved Mara, who had almost been killed.

They all belonged to the same group now. The people from the Shrines wanted to kill them!

"Very good." Huo Xing Zi"s fire mace turned into fire lights and moved back into his body. At the same time, two other fire maces reappeared in his hands. They were three zhang long and filled with fire. They looked dreadful.

Gu Xuan Tian was now wearing a demon king"s armor, he looked like a demon G.o.d. n.o.body could pierce through his defense.

"Oh no, the strong cultivators from the Shrines have extremely powerful Great Imperial Weapons!" The crowd was shaken even more. However, the finalists of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds were surrounded. The battle didn"t look good for them, and n.o.body could help them.

Jing was staring at Lin Feng"s familiar cauldron. As expected, it was really was him, but at that moment, she was worried about Lin Feng. She wanted to understand why the ten Shrines had joined hands to fight against them. What had happened? Why was all this happening? The Shrines had extremely important positions in the world, such things never happened unless there were special circ.u.mstances. Did they want to oppress the new disciples of the Fortune Shrine?

Chapter 2214: Battle in the Ancient Times

Edited by RED

Jing wasn"t the only one who was nervous, everybody was!

"Why?" asked Chu Chun Qiu at that moment. He had also gathered together with the others. He was staring at the members of the Shrines. "We come from different places of the continent. We came here to join the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. We tried to improve our living conditions, we wanted to join a Shrine. But now, why are you attacking us, the ten best cultivators of the meeting?"

Chu Chun Qiu"s Sky Absorbing strength pulsed. He hadn"t expected this. How could he be happy?

All the others felt the same. Why? Why were the Shrines doing this to them?

None of the disciples of the Shrines replied. They were holding their Great Imperial Weapons and Qi was sweeping out from them.

Kong Ming kept chanting mantras, golden lights rising around him. A mala necklace appeared in his hand, and a terrifying curtain of light appeared around him. He looked like an indestructible Buddha.

"Are you ready to fight?" said Kong Ming calmly. Everybody understood that it wasn"t the right moment to ask why all this was happening. The Shrines" cultivators wanted to slaughter them as soon as possible. They needed to fight!

The Deployment Master looked at the cauldron floating in front of Lin Feng coldly. That cauldron was his! Lin Feng couldn"t use all its powers to the fullest. Back when he was still a Great Deployment Master, the cauldron was extremely powerful. Back then, he had never thought that someday someone would steal his cauldron and modify it!

Silhouettes flickered. The ten strong cultivators of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds were holding their Great Imperial Weapons, and getting ready to attack.

Lightning descended from the sky and bombarded the curtain of lights. Breaking and snapping sounds could be heard. One attack, and the light curtain exploded!

"If the Shrines" strong cultivators had taken out Great Imperial Weapons before, the ten strong cultivators of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds would have died already. They didn"t do it straight away because they were just playing." the crowd murmured.

More melodious breaking and snapping sounds spread out, and deadly energies filled the air. It was getting dangerous for the ten cultivators of the Meeting, their eyes were bloodshot and their faces stiff. What had they done to make the Shrines want to kill them?

They didn"t know that one of them had made the Destiny Wheel rotate. In the history of the continent, some people at the top of the Shrines couldn"t accept that. Therefore, they wanted to kill those people to be sure that the one who had made the Destiny Wheel rotate would be killed!

Actually, all the Shrines had already gone so far, they didn"t mind being cruel even if it meant killing geniuses. The Destiny Wheel didn"t affect only one Shrine, so they had to take measures. Therefore, destruction was the only solution. None of them could remain. They didn"t know who had caused the Destiny Wheel to rotate, they could only guess that one of the top ten cultivators of the meeting had done so, and more probably someone who was in the top five.

A terrifyingly strong cultivator from the Demon Shrine looked cold and detached, like a demon king. He was staring at the ground and thought, In the ancient times, because the Destiny Shrine rotated, the Fortune Shrine became much, much stronger. All the other Shrines were in danger, so they had joined hands and a terrifying battle took place and made the whole continent shake. No place was spared. Back then, the Fortune Shrine was eventually oppressed. After that, the Fortune Shrine remained discreet for a very long time. Such a thing can"t be allowed to happen again.

People learned from history. That terrifying battle remained symbolic in many powerful people"s memories. That had happened in the ancient times, and after that, the Shrines had become weaker, including the Fortune Shrine. They had existed for many years, but it wasn"t a flouris.h.i.+ng era for them anymore.

However, many years had pa.s.sed and the ancient days were long past. The Shrines had also started becoming a little bit more famous once again. It was a new era. Some terrifying cultivators had risen. However, a thousand years ago, the Destiny Shrine had rotated again. However, nothing special had happened. The Shrines had asked the Destiny Shrine about it, they hadn"t found anything strange.

Now, a thousand years later, the Destiny Shrine had rotated again, and it was again the Fortune Shrine"s turn to organize the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Therefore, the Fortune Shrine had decided to use the Great Destiny Technique.

The other Shrines couldn"t keep calm. That was the reason for this battle. They wanted to kill the ten strongest cultivators of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, because they didn"t want another war like in the distant past. The Shrines had never forgotten that war.

The leaders of the Shrines were people who lost their parents, ancestors and teachers during that war. They didn"t want another war to start!

"Why does the destiny wheel rotate each time it"s the Fortune Shrine"s turn? Is it good for them or bad?" thought that strong cultivator. Back then, the Fortune Shrine had risen after the Destiny Shrine had rotated. Many strong cultivators had emerged from the Fortune Shrine. A new flouris.h.i.+ng era had started for them. However, the battles had started and they had lost an incredible amount of strong cultivators, too.

This time, it was the second time the Destiny Wheel had rotated in a thousand years, what did that mean?

Ching! A clear and melodious sound rang out as Kong Ming"s light curtain broke apart. A terrifying attack came cras.h.i.+ng down. Many people trembled. Were the ten strongest cultivators of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds really going to die?

"Initially, I wanted to play with you, but since you want to bring about your own destruction, then I"ll help you. I should have done it earlier!" said Gu Xuan Tian coldly. He started walking forwards, destructive energies filling the air as he stepped forwards. His demon armor was domineering.

"No…" Yao Yao"s face turned deathly pale. She looked terrified. Qing Feng started running forwards, she wanted to join the battle.

"Feng!" shouted Jing. That girl was insane. She was going to die if she joined the battle. The enemies were the Shrines" strongest emperors!

A dazzling light descended from the sky and illuminated everyone. The members of the Shrines jumped away, and a second white beam of light filled the air.

"Where is he?" The strong cultivators of the Shrines were stunned. When they had appeared, n.o.body had prevented them from attacking. Now, the first beam of light had taken someone away.

"Is the Fortune Shrine finally going to get involved?" thought the crowd. They were astonished. Only the Fortune Shrine could make the battle stop. Had the Fortune Shrine attacked? Why had the Shrine taken someone away? Had the members of the Shrines come to attack because of that person, and not because of everybody? Why did the Shrine let the strong cultivators of the other Shrines chase him?

When the crowd saw that one of the fighters was missing, they were astonished. The Fortune Shrine had taken someone away and now they let the other Shrines chase him? That was strange.

And the person who had been taken away was… Chu Chun Qiu!

"Why did the Fortune Shrine take Chu Chun Qiu away, and only him? Does it mean anything?" wondered a lot of people.

The disciples of the Shrines all looked furious. A moment before, only five people had been able to compete with them: Lin Feng, Kong Ming, Chu Chun Qiu, Zhou Rong Man, and the Deployment Master. The others were weaker. Therefore, it could have been any of them!

"The Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds is over. Those from the top ten, follow me to the Fortune Shrine. You will receive your rewards in the Fortune Shrine," said the Diviner at that moment. He wasn"t smiling anymore, sounding quite cold.

The Shrine cultivators were stunned. The strongest cultivators of the ten other Shrines weren"t there anymore, so they couldn"t prevent the Diviner from doing that.

"The ten members of the Shrines chased after him. n.o.body stayed there. That guy was too important!" murmured the crowd. The Diviner landed in front of the fighters, lights surrounded them, and the nine disappeared.

"They"re gone." The ten disciples of the Shrines were astonished now. Two lights beams appeared, delivering some of the strongest cultivators of two Shrines. The ten cultivators of the Shrines had first chased after the one who had been taken away, and then they had realized that the Fortune Shrine had probably done that on purpose.

Possibly. Those ten people were all possible candidates, especially those of the top five. Of course, the one who had been taken away was also a possible candidate…

Chapter 2215: Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds

When the Diviner took Lin Feng and the others away, the crowd looked confused.

"The Diviner left quickly because of the other Shrines," they realized. The other Shrines had joined hands and finally, the Fortune Shrine had decided to react and to take away the strongest cultivators of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds away. That also officially the end of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Everything was going to happen behind the scenes after that.

Duan Feng"s eyes were twinkling at that moment. He didn"t understand either, what was going on?…

The members of the Snow Clan were stupefied. Zhe Tian clenched his fists. The young man in front of him smiled indifferently and said, "Interesting."

The two strong cultivators from the two Shrines who had just appeared, disappeared again. Some members of the Fortune City appeared to sort things out there. They took those of the top fifty to Fortune City to become members. At the same time, the top hundred would also be able to travel to and from the inner part of G.o.dly Clouds City freely.

After that, people slowly left the platform and everything returned to normal. People from G.o.dly Clouds City also slowly started leaving. They were confused and astonished. The Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds was over? They had the sensation things hadn"t ended the way they should have. They were still thinking about all the great battles…

The watchers slowly left. The inner part of G.o.dly Clouds City and the outer part were divided once more. People from the twelve towns of G.o.dly Clouds City couldn"t see what was going on in the inner part of G.o.dly Clouds City anymore.

Only those who had the permission to come to the inner part of G.o.dly Clouds City could see what was happening there, like the top hundred cultivators of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. They wanted to explore the inner part of G.o.dly Clouds City and see what it looked like, as it was a legendary place.

—–

Hou Qing Lin, Lang Ye, Jun Mo Xi and the others were in a city they knew nothing of. They could see celestial palaces floating in the air. It was an incredible sight.

"That celestial city which is floating in the air is Fortune City." The friends were amazed.

"The Qi here is incredible. The cosmic strength is thick and dense. Is this the inner part of G.o.dly Clouds City?" wondered the people glancing around. There were spectacular buildings everywhere containing celestial Qi.

The top hundred cultivators of the meeting started walking around, many people sighing. What a mysterious world! Sometimes, people pa.s.sed and when they saw them they looked surprised, some of their eyes glittering. The people who had just arrived were all new geniuses.

"Let"s go to Fortune City." At that moment, the top fifty cultivators of the meeting headed towards Fortune City. At that moment, a group of young people with astonis.h.i.+ng Qi appeared in the distance. They smiled at the crowd when they arrived and said, "Congratulations and welcome to the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds!"

"Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds?" The fighters were taken aback. This place was the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds?

In Fortune City…

There was a starry sky above when Lin Feng and the others arrived there with the Diviner. They all stood there and looked at the dazzling stars. They looked so close and so far away at the same time.

Lin Feng looked at the rest of the crowd. One of them was missing: Chu Chun Qiu. He had been taken away a moment before them. The strong cultivators of the other Shrines had chased after him. Lin Feng didn"t know what it was all about.

Some people in white robes came up to them slowly. Their Qi was only barely discernible, they looked aloof from worldly strife, and their cultivation level was hidden. They were obviously extremely strong.

"We shouldn"t have let you go through this, but it was also a test for you. You"ll go to different places now and choose your path," the Diviner informed them. He nodded at the people in white clothes.

"Kong Ming, come with me," said one of them to Kong Ming.

"Zhou Rong Man, come with me!" said another one. The fighters didn"t understand and had their doubts, but they were in the Fortune Shrine now and people from Fortune Shrine would definitely take care of them. Everybody left but Lin Feng. He was left behind, alone with the Diviner.

"Lin Feng," the Diviner said, smiling gently.

"Master," said Lin Feng respectfully. They had met again, after such a long time.

"Lin Feng, first, congratulations to you for your achievements. You must have many questions. But now I"m going to tell you some very important things. Listen carefully," said the Diviner seriously.

"Alright…" said Lin Feng when he saw how solemn the Diviner looked. It probably had something to do with what had just happened.

"I need to tell you what about what happened on the continent in the ancient past. Strong cultivators can create small worlds when they reach a certain level. In the Continent of the Nine Clouds, there were more and more people being born. In the small worlds, the same thing happened. So the Continent of the Nine Clouds became too small, and Qi even became rare.

"As a result, some of the strongest cultivators started creating rules. They wanted a unified continent. But people fought for power, which is how the Shrines were created. They started fighting for supremacy."

Lin Feng listened carefully. His heart was pounding. As he had always thought, someday he"d join a Shrine and  learn about the behind-the-scenes stories. That moment had finally come. He was going to learn more about the real world.

"n.o.body knows how long those supreme cultivators fought. However, it stopped long ago. In the ancient past, there were nine Shrines establis.h.i.+ng their dominance: The Starlit Sky Shrine, the Time Shrine, the Countless Shrine, the Empty s.p.a.ce Shrine, the Life Shrine, the Fire Shrine, the Ice and Snow Shrine, the Dazzling Gold Shrine, and the Earth Shrine. Those were the original Shrines, with the Starlit Sky Shrine now called the Fortune Shrine. The Countless Shrine is the current Buddha Shrine. The Time Shrine disappeared a long time ago.

All the other Shrines emerged with time."

"However, no matter what, the nine Shrines are symbolic because after their establishment, the ancient wars and chaos ceased. At the same time, because of the scarcity of Qi, nine extremely strong cultivators built nine worlds which would never change: the Continent of the Nine Clouds."

Continent of the Nine Clouds…, thought Lin Feng. His heart was pounding. The Continent of the Nine Clouds had been created by strong cultivators?

"So the place where we are now… is the real, only, and original world?" asked Lin Feng.

"Indeed. It"s called the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds now.

"This world became a symbol of the ancient days because of the nine Shrines. After that, many strong cultivators rose and created their own worlds: h.e.l.l, the Supreme Animal World, and so on. But those worlds" histories aren"t as old as the Continent of the Nine Clouds" history, and those worlds are controlled by some individuals most of the time. For example, h.e.l.l is controlled by the h.e.l.l Shrine. The Continent of the Nine Clouds is the most mature world, and it has no leader. Many strong cultivators keep rising in the Continent of the Nine Clouds, and then they also create their own small worlds."

Lin Feng listened calmly. Even though the Diviner said the Continent of the Nine Clouds had no leader, the Shrines were the supreme leaders there. They controlled the Continent of the Nine Clouds!

"n.o.body has ever managed to control this world alone. No Shrine has ever managed to completely take control over this world," said the Diviner. Raising his head, he gazed into the distance and said, "Until now, it has never happened.

"Back then, the Destiny Wheel rotated, and an incredible cultivator appeared. He took control over the Fortune Shrine and made it rise. He could pose a threat to all the Shrines. Therefore, back then, all the other Shrines joined hands and attacked us. Every part of the continent was affected by the battle. That war has two names: The Destiny Battle, or the Shrines" Dusk War.

"That battle ended long ago, and the strongest Shrines remained. The weakest Shrines weakened. Some other powerful groups also started rising. The different groups have always been competing, but there hasn"t been such a great war again. But a thousand years ago, the Destiny Wheel rotated again, and all the Shrines came to the Fortune Shrine."

Lin Feng s.h.i.+vered. The Destiny Wheel had rotated and a terrifying cultivator had appeared, a great war had happened. A thousand years ago, something similar happened again.

And the Diviner continued, "And now, after a thousand years, the Destiny Wheel has rotated again."

Lin Feng"s heart was pounding violently.

Chapter 2216: Forbidden Legends

Edited by RED

The Destiny Wheel had rotated again. Lin Feng understood why the Shrines had attacked them now.

"In the Continent of the Nine Clouds, there"s an expression to describe people who make the Destiny Wheel rotate: Forbidden Destiny, or Forbidden Person. Such people can"t live, all the Shrines want to kill them," said the Diviner.

Lin Feng"s face stiffened. He was shaking.

"However, in the Continent of the Nine Clouds, people think of such cultivators as extremely strong, and they even call them Shrines" Champions. Most people think they shouldn"t be called Forbidden People or Forbidden Destinies. In the ancient past, there were only a few people like that. After the great war, no other Forbidden Person has appeared. Maybe it"s due to the scarcity of Qi or, maybe cultivators have become too weak.

"But now a new one has appeared," said the Diviner, staring at Lin Feng. Lin Feng understood why he was being stared at now.

The Diviner said, "During the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, the Destiny Wheel rotated. Therefore, one of the finalists could be a Forbidden Person. And that person is probably you, Lin Feng!"

"Pfew…" Lin Feng took a deep breath. Did he have some kind of forbidden body? There were legends about a forbidden or taboo body in the continent. But people didn"t know what it meant, and didn"t know that the Shrines had fought during the Shrines" Dusk War because of someone who had a forbidden body.

Lin Feng maybe might have a forbidden body, he might be a Forbidden Person. However, they had taken Chu Chun Qiu away, was it to hide the true one from the others" field of vision? If the Shrines didn"t manage to do what they wanted, and kill the one who had activated the Wheel, then they wouldn"t stop looking for him. They didn"t want to see a Forbidden Person rise!

"Only you, me, and three people from the Shrine know this. You can"t tell anyone about this. We will probably send you to different places of the continent. We can"t keep you in the Destiny Shrine, it would be useless for you. The Destiny Shrine will do their best to calm the situation down, like a thousand years ago," the Diviner said.

A set of starry clothes appeared indistinctly. He said to Lin Feng, "This an illusion robe. Wear it and you can easily change your facial features, Qi, eyes, everything. n.o.body can recognize you with such an item."

Lin Feng was astonished, but took the clothes. Even though Mister Xiao"s masks were great, they also had limits. Extremely strong cultivators could still recognize him when he wore them. He couldn"t hide from Saints. But this robe would probably allow him to do so!

"Besides that, you deserve something for having ranked first. What do you want?" asked the Diviner, smiling at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was surprised and said, "I know a Saint, he was injured badly long ago. He has one thread of consciousness left. I also know a Celestial Emperor, his body has turned into Dao. I have another friend, a girl, she"s an emperor who was injured by a great emperor, I sealed her, and she has only one thread of Qi left. I hope you can heal them."

"For the Saint you know, it"s going to be troublesome, especially if his soul has also been destroyed. But at his cultivation level, he can survive, the Life Shrine has some G.o.dly Medicine of the Immortals, it can help cultivators who have only one thread of consciousness left return to life. Then, the cultivator needs to study the Rebirth Scriptures and have their consciousness give birth to soul strength. But it"s going to be extremely difficult to fully recover," the Diviner told him. "Concerning the Celestial Emperor who has died to turn into Dao and the girl whom you sealed, one drop of G.o.dly Medicine of the Immortals is enough. We have good relations with the Life Shrine, I can give you three drops as a reward for your first position."

"Thank you very much!" Lin Feng thanked him happily. G.o.dly Medicine of the Immortals was incredible. Even though the Diviner mentioned that remedy in such a relaxed way, Lin Feng knew how priceless it was. As long as a Saint still had any consciousness left, they could come back to life thanks to the G.o.dly Medicine of the Immortals. Even to the Life Shrine, G.o.dly Medicine of the Immortals was priceless. However, the Diviner had agreed to give him three drops, it was incredibly generous.

If Saint Tianhun knew this, he would do all he could to kill Lin Feng. He had come to the meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, that medicine was his biggest hope. He had hoped he"d be able to get G.o.dly Medicine of the Immortals. The body he had captured wasn"t great, G.o.dly Medicine of the Immortals could help someone like him become as strong as back in his prime.

But even with such a medicine, Saints needed to study the Rebirth Scriptures to come back to life. Saint Qin Shan had almost died. His injuries were unbelievably serious.

Minister Uptala, as well as Qing Qing, were weak in comparison to the powers of the G.o.dly Medicine of the Immortals. Even if they only had one thread of Qi left, they could completely recover with the G.o.dly Medicine of the Immortals. Even if Minster Uptala had turned into Dao, the Dao still contained his soul!

"Come, I"ll take you somewhere," the Diviner said. Lin Feng followed him as they left.

——

They were walking through the starlit sky. After a very long time, Lin Feng didn"t know where he was, but they were in a starry world when the Diviner finally stopped.

At that moment, they were surrounded by stars.

"Continent of the Nine Clouds!" Lin Feng was astonished when he looked at the starry sky: G.o.dly Clouds, Purple Clouds, the Dark Night Region… All the regions of the Continent of the Nine Clouds were in the sky.

Apart from the Continent of the Nine Clouds, there was h.e.l.l and even some unfinished worlds.

"What"s that?" asked Lin Feng to the Diviner. He was curious.

"The Continent of the Nine Clouds, h.e.l.l and some small worlds" entrances," said the Diviner to Lin Feng. Lin Feng was astonished. "You can go to the Continent of the Nine Clouds or h.e.l.l from here?"

"Indeed. The Continent of the Nine Clouds was created by a supreme cultivator back in the days. It"s also a small world. The Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds is the real world. There are pa.s.sages to many small worlds here. The Supreme Animal World is one of them. Of course, there are many, many small worlds. n.o.body can invade the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, because the Shrines are here," the Diviner explained to Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, you will spend a few days here, I will give you some skills and techniques. You"ll tell me if you want more. Of course, you are a Forbidden Person, so they are not really useful for you. Your future can"t be determined by destiny, either.

"You"ll need to create your own strength. In a few days, you"ll leave Fortune City and practice everywhere. You can go anywhere: the Continent of the Nine Clouds, the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, or other worlds."

"Alright, I"ll practice elsewhere and when I become a great emperor, I"ll come back!" agreed Lin Feng. He hadn"t forgotten about the agreement with the Snow Clan: twenty years! He had to save Meng Qing and his child!

"Master, the Snow Clan is probably in the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, right? How strong are they?" asked Lin Feng.

"Yes, they are a very old Clan. They"ve existed since the ancient times. But during the great war, they lost many people and became quite weak. But two new monarchs have appeared in the Snow Clan now, so they"re really happy."

Two monarchs? Xue Ao and…? With Meng Qing, there should be three…, thought Lin Feng.

"Why are you asking me about the Snow Clan?" said the Diviner.

"We are in conflict." Lin Feng"s eyes glittered.

"Oh, even though the Fortune Shrine can help you, right now, you should remain discreet, and not only you, but all the others of the top ten of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. You all need to travel and become stronger. When the situation calms down, if you need the Fortune Shrine to help you, tell me. Then, you can head to the other Shrines and show them that you"re not the weakling you used to be. Someday, they won"t be able to do anything to you anymore."

"Definitely!" promised Lin Feng. He took a deep breath. The Snow Clan"s Saints despised him. He was a n.o.body to them. Xue Ao was aggressive and extremely strong. He needed to become stronger. Back then, if Qing Feng hadn"t brought s.h.i.+ Jue Lao Xian, the Snow Clan would have killed him. If he had died, Meng Qing would have killed herself. Lin Feng didn"t dare think about such things.

Lin Feng would definitely get his revenge for everything they had done to him, Meng Qing, and their baby.

Lin Feng raised his head and looked at the stars. He had ranked first at the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Finally, he was becoming a really strong cultivator. No matter what, he had to press forward with indomitable will. Now, he was a Forbidden Person, the Shrines wanted to kill him. He had to become extremely strong.

Chapter 2217: Influence

Edited by RED

The Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds hadn"t been influenced by the ten Shrines. The other Shrines didn"t dare do anything to the Fortune Shrine. A thousand years before, something similar had happened, and the Fortune Shrine had managed to calm the situation down. Of course, apart from people from the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, n.o.body else knew about it in the outside world.

The Great Emperors" Meeting had incredible repercussions. However, the Emperors" Meeting also amazed many people, as the Shrines" appearance had astonished everybody. There were many rumors in G.o.dly Clouds City now. Some people said that Chu Chun Qiu might be a Forbidden Person, and the Shrines possibly feared him. Some people even said that in the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds.

People who had just joined the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds walked around and observed. There were many powerful cultivators there. Many people wanted to become stronger there. The Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds was over, and most of the people who had just arrived were cultivators of the very top of the Huang Qi layer. They wanted to break through to the Di Qi layer!

—

Qing Feng was in the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds as well. She was staying with Jing. Jing was actually from a Clan of the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Qing Feng was too, but she didn"t want to go back. She wanted to go to Fortune City, but apart from disciples of the Fortune Shrine, other people couldn"t really go there.

Of course, the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds also had repercussions in the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Some people who had partic.i.p.ated also started traveling in the Continent of the Nine Clouds.

In the Dark Night Region"s Holy Spirit Dynasty…

A ceremony was being held for the ancestors. On the altar were many jade talismans. The names of the core disciples were written on those jade talismans. Lin Feng"s name was written on a particular one. His name was written differently than other people"s names, but n.o.body disagreed.

"Qiong Sheng, that"s the Holy Dynasty Prince"s name, your father! In the future, you"ll be like your father!" said the Holy Emperor to Lin Qiong Sheng solemnly. Lin Qiong Sheng was now 1.50 meters tall. Even though he looked young, he wasn"t weak at all.

Lin Qiong Sheng looked at the talisman, he felt proud. His father, someone who wasn"t from the Holy Spirit Dynasty, had the most important position in the Holy Spirit Dynasty: Holy Dynasty Prince! How glorious!

"Qiong Sheng, your father is the strongest emperor of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. You have to continue making efforts!" said the Holy Emperor happily. He had chosen Lin Feng back then, and it was the right decision. Now, Lin Feng was the strongest emperor of the Continent of the Nine Clouds and he had become one of the Fortune Shrine"s core disciples. Lin Feng would become splendid and glorious in the future.

—–

However, apart from the Holy Spirit Dynasty, the other dynasties in Qi Tian Holy Town weren"t happy at all. When the news spread, many people looked worried. Back then, they had joined hands to attack Lin Feng, Now that he had become the strongest emperor of the continent and was a member of a Shrine, if Lin Feng came back to Qi Tian Holy Town a few years later, would he come to get his revenge?

—

Of course, the biggest city in the Dark Night Region wasn"t Qi Tian Holy Town, it was the Holy City.

The Ji Clan, the Pei Clan, and others were all terrified. Lin Feng had finished first at the meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, how strong would he become in the future?

Back then, they hated Lin Feng more than anything. They had tried to kill him many times, especially the Ji Clan. They had dreamt of killing Lin Feng before he could become strong enough.

The whole Dark Night Region was shaken because two of their people had finished in the top three of the meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds!

Lin Feng had finished first! Chu Chun Qiu had finished third!

Celestial G.o.dly University was happy and proud for Chu Chun Qiu. Champion University was proud and happy for Lin Feng.

In Champion University"s Champion Palace, Lin Feng"s name had already disappeared from the ranking list. He didn"t need his name there, and he didn"t need to be considered a Champion, either. He didn"t need to be like Ji Chang back in the days. Lin Feng was the strongest emperor of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. He was a real Champion!

Lin Feng"s name was carved in the walls, there was a commemorative place in his honor.

On that plate was written: Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, First Place

That simple sentence said it all.

At the same time, at the foot of the cave with a waterfall at its mouth, there was a gigantic statue of Lin Feng. It was ten zhang tall, and very lifelike. The statue depicted him as a demon cultivator.

—

Someone went up to the statue and stayed in front of it for a long time before turning and leaving.

"Now, apart from Lin Feng, the second strongest cultivator of Champion University comes here every day and looks at Lin Feng"s statue. Lin Feng has become a goal for him," whispered many people.

That person wasn"t the only one though. Many people, including many beautiful women, came to look at Lin Feng"s statue often.

"That"s my fellow disciple, he"s handsome, talented, and extremely strong. I will never catch up with him."

"Yes, Brother Lin Feng has achieved many things in his life. Back in the days, Ji Chang and his Ji Chang"s Club acted arrogantly and treated others with disdain. Ji Chang considered himself unexcelled in the world. Only Lin Feng dared create Tiantai and challenge him. Back then, at Ji Chang"s Champion ceremony, Lin Feng even provoked him. Then he defeated Ji Chang during the Pathfinder Day of the Imperial Ranking List. How strong! He progresses really quickly, too. n.o.body can catch up with him."

"If I could become Lin Feng"s wife, I"d be so happy. I"d stay with him all the time!" said a beautiful woman.

"Dream on. Lin Feng"s wife is Meng Qing. She"s a celestial being. She is above worldly material attractions and not interested in mundane affairs. She"s also extremely strong and talented," said some girl jokingly.

At that moment, they stopped laughing, as a woman was coming up to them. She also looked like a celestial being, aloof from worldly strife.

"How beautiful." thought the first women. That girl was so beautiful, but they had never seen her before.

"She looks like a celestial being. Who is she?" Many men watched her. She ignored them though, only looking at Lin Feng"s statue.

"Sister Baguio!" said a young man to that celestial woman at that moment, smiling at her.

Xue Baguio turned around and smiled at the young man, "You also came to look at the Master."

"Yes, I miss him. I haven"t seen him in such a long time," said Xiao Chen smiled. His eyebrows looked as sharp as swords.

"That"s Ye Chen, Lin Feng"s disciple. A member of Tiantai," whispered some people, looking at Ye Chen with admiration. He was Lin Feng"s disciple. Ye Chen would probably become terrifyingly strong after reaching the top of the Huang Qi layer.

—

Up in the air, above the clouds, two old men looked at that and smiled to themselves.

"Old buddy, my sense of judgement is quite good. If I hadn"t been there, we wouldn"t be so famous. Now, many geniuses want to study here in Champion University," said Ancestor s.h.i.+ Tian smiled.

"Bulls.h.i.+t, I found Lin Feng. It has nothing to do with you!" said Ancestor Xuan Tian.

"You"re talking nonsense. I found him!" said Ancestor s.h.i.+ Tian. The two old men started arguing again. The earth and the sky trembled, many people looked at the sky and s.h.i.+vered. The two Ancestors were arguing and making the clouds roll around like waves!

Many people also had cold sweats when they heard the Ancestors argue in the sky. Surprisingly, the Ancestors were arguing about who had found Lin Feng first!

——

In the Vast Celestial Ancient City, outside of the Animal World…

An elder was gazing into the distance.

"Little boy, Forbidden body, finally, you"re growing up. The Shrines will put pressure on you now. The Fortune Shrine will help you, but in the future, you"ll have to rely on yourself," mused the elder.

Qing Feng, you must have b.u.mped into Jing as well. You should also go to your clan sometimes. I can"t do much for you. If Lin Feng grows up and succeeds, he"ll help you accomplish many things in life, thought the elder with a smile. He looked happy.

Many people in the Dark Night Region were thinking about the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, and especially Lin Feng!
