Peerless Martial God

“I’m back, it’s alright.” said Lin Feng in a gentle voice, caressing Xin Ye’s hair. Everybody was smiling in a resplendent way.

They had smiled and laughed so happily since the last time they had seen Lin Feng. Lin Feng made them truly happy.

“Fei Fei, you’re back too!” said Yue Meng He grabbing her hand and smiling in a resplendent way.

“Auntie!” said Liu Fei. She had a different feeling now. Since she was closer to Lin Feng, Yue Meng He was almost her mother now.

“You’ve been through so much!” said Yue Meng He with compassion, “You should call me something else though!”

Back then, Liu Fei had stayed alone in Liu Cang Lan’s grave and she had cried and cried. After Lin Feng left, Yue Meng He used to go and see her all the time. Then she had insisted that Liu Fei should spend time with Xin Ye, but in the end, Liu Fei had decided to leave and go back to Duan Ren City.

Yue Meng He could see that Liu Fei had changed though. She had come back with Lin Feng and she had noticed something different in Liu Fei’s eyes.

When Liu Fei heard Yue Meng He, she lowered her head shyly and said, “Mother!” (translator’s note: in China, when you are engaged, you call your lover’s parents “mother” and “father” or “mom” and “dad” etc.)

“Good girl!” said Yue Meng He happily. She hugged Liu Fei and said, “From now on, Lin Hai and I are your mother and your father!”

She knew that Liu Fei had suffered a lot, like Xin Ye. Poor children. Xin Ye was born in a prestigious family and had been used by her family. She didn’t have a mother, her father had died battling.. Lin Feng was the only person they relied on and now he was away most of the time.

“Little Lin Feng is lucky!” said Yue Meng He watching Lin Feng hug Xin Ye. Lin Feng was angry, he wasn’t a baby anymore, but she looked at him in such a tender way that he felt happy.

Xin Ye moved away from Lin Feng, wiped off her tears and smiled in a silly way. Her face was still red.

“You have no tears left!” said Lin Feng caressing her cheeks and smiling.

Lin Feng smiled and said, “Yun Xi, Yi Xue!”

They both smiled at him.

“You’re back, little boy!” said two voices. Two silhouettes appeared in the sky and landed in front of them. They looked at him in a strange way and blushed.

Lin Feng looked at their black faces. He was surprised, laughed, and said, “Mister Chi, Mister Huo, you should wash your face before coming out!”

Everybody burst into laughter when they heard Lin Feng.

“You’re both cultivators of the Tian Qi layer, you should pay attention to your appearance!” said Lin Hai jokingly.

“You shouted and made our concoction explode.” said Mister Chi. Everybody laughed even more. The two old men grinded their teeth.

“Lin Feng, come, you have to tell us everything you saw while traveling.” said Mister Chi looking at Lin Feng as if he had been looking at a treasure.

“Little Lin Feng, I want to know too. What did you do abroad?” said Lin Hai. They couldn’t see Lin Feng’s cultivation level anymore, the difference was too great. Lin Feng was releasing no Qi at all, he simply looked like an ordinary person, but they knew that Lin Feng had probably become a lot stronger.

“Let’s sit down and chat!” said Lin Feng when he saw that everyone was so curious. Lin Feng and Duan Xin Ye sat down next to each other. Liu Fei sat down next to Duan Xin Ye which made Lin Feng feel very happy. It meant that Xin Ye accepted Lin Feng and Liu Fei’s relationship, just like she had accepted Lin Feng and Meng Qing’s relationship. Now, they were all like sisters.

Xiao Ya left Lin Feng speechless, she went behind him and put her arms around him.

“In the central part of the continent, there is a province called the Ba Huang Province. In the Ba Huang Province, there are several regions: central Ba Huang, the celestial part of Ba Huang, the brutal part of Ba Huang, the sanguinary part of Ba Huang, the northern, southern, eastern and western parts as well. Each region has its own groups of influence, including influential imperial groups. There are many strong cultivators, beasts, cultivation emperors, beast emperors…”

Lin Feng told them about those influential groups, about what he did while he was there, about Tiantai, about his fellow disciples. Of course, Lin Feng didn’t explain the details, he tried to only tell them things in a simple way.

When Lin Feng said he had fought against Zun cultivators, the two old men’s faces turned red, but it also made them want to become stronger.

In the Ba Huang Province, there was a powerful influential group called the Celestial Land of Alchemists that acted as a holy grounds for alchemists. They even had an emperor whose specialty was to concoct potions, pills and so on. There was Xue Baguio, the holy girl who had a celestial body.

“Brother, after the celestial girl lost, did she really give you the pill? Did you save Meng Qing?” asked Xiao Ya in Lin Feng’s ears.

Lin Feng nodded, “She did, but the members of the Celestial Land of Alchemists weren’t happy and wanted to kill me!”

“Beautiful girls have emotions, why didn’t you fool her, brother?” asked Xiao Ya giggling. Lin Feng rolled his eyes.

“How is Meng Qing now?” asked Xin Ye, she looked nervous.

“She’s good, she turned back into a human and now she’s extremely talented now. She’s still in Tiantai practicing cultivation and when you see her again, she will probably be a Zun cultivator!” said Lin Feng smiling.

“A Zun cultivator!” they were all astonished. So quickly? How incredible!

“I wouldn’t have thought I’d have a Zun level daughter-in-law so quickly!” said Yue Meng He smiling. Zun cultivators were legendary cultivators to them, how strong!

“Little Lin Feng, what about your cultivation?” asked Lin Hai. They couldn’t see his cultivation level so he had to ask.

“Eighth Tian Qi layer.” whispered Xiao Ya. Everybody was astonished. Was she joking?

Lin Feng was astonished too. He looked at her and smiled. She quickly said, “Brother, I just said that randomly.”

“Xiao Ya, you’re amazing.” said Lin Feng caressing her head, to which she reacted by tapping his shoulders. “Brother, I’m now a grown up, you can’t touch my hair like that!”

“Are you not my sister anymore because you’re a grown up?” said Lin Feng laughing.

“Little Lin Feng, have you really broken through to the eighth Tian Qi layer?” asked Lin Hai in amazement. Eighth Tian Qi layer, that was incredible. He might even become a Zun cultivator, like in the legends.

“That’s right.” said Lin Feng nodding: “I still have some progress to make before breaking through to the Zun Qi layer though.”

“That’s fine, I trust you, sooner or later, you’ll become a Zun cultivator and amaze everybody.” said Lin Hai.

In Xue Yue, for many people, the Tian Qi layer was an ultimate goal, but now his son had almost broken through to the Zun Qi layer and he was only in his early twenties!

“Hmph!” Liu Fei groaned, making Lin Feng smile.

“Fei Fei, what’s wrong?” asked Yue Meng He.

“Mother, Lin Feng is hiding the truth!” said Liu Fei smiling.

“Is Lin Feng lying? Isn’t he really a cultivator of the eighth Tian Qi layer?” Lin Hai was staring at Lin Feng. If he hadn’t broken through to the eighth Tian Qi layer, then was he closer to becoming a Zun cultivator?

“Father!” said Liu Fei, making Lin Hai smile.

“You don’t know this, but on the way from Duan Ren City to Yangzhou City, in the former imperial city, we encountered several Zun cultivators!” said Liu Fei.

“And what happened?” asked Lin Hai.

Liu Fei glanced at Lin Feng, smiled and said, “Lin Feng cut a Zun cultivator’s arm off in one strike!”

“Eh…” Lin Hai, Mister Huo and so on were all astonished. Lin Feng had cut off a Zun cultivator’s arm in one strike? Lin Feng had defeated a legendary cultivator in one strike?

“Little Lin Feng, tell us the truth, are you really a cultivator of the eighth Tian Qi layer?” asked Lin Hai.

“I am.” said Lin Feng smiling wryly. Lin Hai was astonished.

“Father, I’m not done!” said Liu Fei in a fragile voice. Lin Hai was surprised, what else?

The others also looked at Liu Fei. Had he killed a Zun cultivator?

“After that, many Zun cultivators rose up in the air and release an incredible Qi, I almost suffocated under their combined pressure!”

Everybody was listening, they were captivated.

“But Lin Feng said a few words and the Zun cultivators shut their mouths, a Zun cultivator even slapped his own face!”
