Peerless Martial God

The Holy Spirit Dynasty was the same as before. The previous time Lin Feng had been there, the Fire Shrine’s members had sent some people to attack Lin Qiong Sheng. Luckily, Lin Feng had arrived and had pretended to be a strong cultivator from the Fortune Shrine. Now, Lin Feng didn’t know where his son Lin Qiong Sheng was, or what had become of him.

At the same time, because of the particular status of the Holy Spirit Dynasty, the other Dynasties didn’t like it. They wanted to destroy it, but as long as Lin Feng was alive, nobody would be able to destroy them, including the Animal District. There were many strong cultivators in the region since the lower and higher worlds were now connected, but the Holy Spirit Dynasty was the same as before, it hadn’t changed. Lin Feng was famous, and that was probably one of the reasons why people feared him.

——

Lin Feng and Duan Feng arrived. Holy Emperor Ling came out to greet Lin Feng personally, because he liked him a lot. He was the father of their future Holy Emperor! Lin Feng had transmitted his blood to their descendants, so they were connected now.

“Lin Feng.” Many strong cultivators came out to greet him. They looked at him and didn’t notice anything about him particularly, but they didn’t doubt that he had become much stronger. Dozens of years had passed; it wasn’t a long time, but they could see that Lin Feng had changed.

“Holy Emperor!” Lin Feng replied. “Is Qiong Sheng here?”

Holy Emperor Ling shook his head and said, “I don’t know where he is. I haven’t heard anything from him since. He never contacted me.”

“He’s a bit too hands-off,” said Lin Feng, smiling wryly.

“Lin Feng, who’s this?” asked Holy Emperor Ling, looking at Duan Feng. His Qi looked extraordinary.

“My friend, Duan Feng.”

“Lin Feng, Duan Feng, let’s go inside to talk,” said Holy Emperor Ling. They all entered the Dynasty’s territory.

“Holy Emperor Ling, so many years have passed. Has Qi Tian Holy Town changed a lot?” asked Lin Feng.

“Of course, there have been great changes. All the Dynasties have changed. The Holy Spirit Dynasty is the Dynasty which has changed the least, especially since many strong cultivators from the higher world come here. There are many battles and so on, changes are normal and expected. The reason why not so many things changed here in the Holy Spirit Dynasty is that we’re half stuck.”

“Half stuck?” asked Lin Feng.

“Yes, you know there are conflicts between the other Dynasties and the Holy Spirit Dynasty. They don’t want us to rise. We can’t do anything without being watched. They just don’t dare attack us directly, that’s all,” said Holy Emperor Ling.

Lin Feng nodded and said, “It’s going to stop.”

“Holy Emperor, send some people to the most powerful groups and have them convey a message from me: tell them I want all their leaders to come to the Holy Spirit Dynasty,” Lin Feng said calmly. Even though he sounded calm, it made Holy Emperor Ling and the other strong cultivators of the Holy Spirit Dynasty tremble. How crazy! Have all the Dynasties’ leaders come?!

“I don’t think they’ll come…” replied Holy Emperor Ling.

“Just transmit my message. If they don’t come, it’s their choice,” said Lin Feng.

Holy Emperor Ling smiled and nodded, “Alright, we’ll see if they come. It’s their decision.”

The first thing Holy Emperor Ling wanted to do didn’t surprise Lin Feng; he organized a huge banquet for him! But Lin Feng didn’t want one, so he said, “I’m just going back to where I was before. You can let the other Dynasties’ leaders stay in those great and magnificent places.”

“Alright, I’ll be waiting for you here,” said Holy Emperor Ling. He knew how Lin Feng was. He smiled as Lin Feng and Duan Feng left. Lin Feng went back to the place he used to share with Tang You You, and they watched the sunset.

“Duan Feng, where is your teacher?” asked Lin Feng out of curiosity. Feng Mo was a mysterious and legendary cultivator. Where had he created his group? “Of course, if it’s a secret, you don’t need to tell me,” Lin Feng added quickly.

“It’s alright. It’s not a secret for everybody. I would guess most of the Shrines’ Saints know where he established his sect.”

“Why have I never read anything about him, then?” asked Lin Feng. He didn’t understand.

“Because even if you had read about it, you wouldn’t necessarily be able to go there, so writing about it would be useless,” said Duan Feng with a smile. “My teacher’s sect is in the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, in a place called Sealed Imprint Mountain. Brother Lin Feng, do you know where Sealed Imprint Mountain is in the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds?”

“How could I guess?” He shook his head. Duan Feng was creating suspense.

“The Lost Country,” Duan Feng stated calmly.

Lin Feng was astonished. The Lost Country? He had heard that name before, of course.

“Sealed Imprint Mountain is situated in the Lost Country?” whispered Lin Feng.

“Indeed, one of the seven forbidden territories, the Lost Country,” said Duan Feng, bursting into laughter when he saw Lin Feng’s flabbergasted face. Apart from Sealed Imprint Mountain, other people couldn’t go there unless someone gave them directions.

“How do you go there?” asked Lin Feng. He was really curious now. The Lost Country was one of the seven forbidden territories, a famous place. According to legends, the Lost Country used to be an incredible country with many strong cultivators. There used to be many demon and ghost cultivators there. One day, they faced a catastrophe, the gods abandoned them, and their nation had turned into ruins and desolation. Now many incredible cultivators were sealed in there, and many people had died there.

Of course, it was a legend, which didn’t prove anything, and going inside could be deadly. Few people dared go there. Yet now Duan Feng was telling Lin Feng that Sealed Imprint Mountain was in the Lost Country.

“We have a special way to avoid danger, we can go straight to the sect. The sect is in a sealed area. It’s not a really a mountain, it’s a world created by my teacher.”

“I see. I’m curious, I wish I could meet your teacher,” murmured Lin Feng.

“I’ll take you there some time. Even though his world can’t be as big as the Continent of the Nine Clouds, it’s still amazing there.”

“Your teacher doesn’t allow people to come and go as they wish, right?” Lin Feng smiled.

“Correct, most people don’t know about the world, only some people who practice in Sealed Imprint Mountain know about it and can go there. You can only go with prior authorization.”

“I understand,” Lin Feng nodded.

Outside of the Holy Spirit Dynasty, an incredible Qi filled the air. A group of strong cultivators arrived and entered the Holy Spirit Dynasty. One of the guards stopped them and smiled, “Please stop here.”

“Is this a joke? The Holy Spirit Dynasty invited us, and this is how you treat your guests?! Have Holy Emperor Ling come here!” shouted the leader of the group icily.

“Don’t prevent Holy Emperor Tianci from entering!” shouted a voice in the distance. The guards suddenly understood; these people were from the Tianci Dynasty, and Holy Emperor Ling came out personally to greet them.

“Holy Emperor Ling, I trust you have been doing well since we last met,” said Holy Emperor Tianci, entering the Holy Spirit Dynasty’s territory.

“I’m alright. And guards, don’t stop anyone who comes here! Many Dynasties’ leaders are coming to pay us a visit. Greet them warmly,” said Holy Emperor Ling.

“Yes sir, Holy Emperor!” replied the guards. They thought of Lin Feng; he had come back and now something big was going to happen. He had invited all the leaders of the Dynasties here!

“Where is Lin Feng?” asked Holy Emperor Tianci. He arrived in a great hall where a banquet had been prepared.

“He’s here. He’ll come soon, I guess,” Holy Emperor Ling smiled. He was convinced Lin Feng knew what was going on.

“We came because he invited us, why isn’t he here? What’s that supposed to mean?” asked Holy Emperor Tianci. He sounded unhappy.

“You can ask him when he arrives,” Holy Emperor Ling smiled. Lin Feng could take care of everything.

More and more people arrived outside. All the leaders were arriving!
