Chapter 1646: Celestial Death Curtain

"How dare you!" the leader of the Yan Clan shouted at Lin Feng furiously.

However, Lin Feng ignored him. His target was Yan Feng and wouldn"t stop until he was killed.

"Die!" Yan Feng bit his lips, trying to come back to his senses. Suddenly, sharp swords emerged from his body, all of which were imperial weapons he had made. The situation was out of control, and he didn"t want to die.

"You"re using imperial weapons!?" said Lin Feng. They had both agreed not to use imperial weapons, but without them, Yan Feng was going to die. How could a cultivator accept death while they still had a way to defend themselves?

Lin Feng took out some talismans and threw them at Yan Feng. Some of them exploded on him, while some of them collided against the imperial weapons.

"Ah…" Yan Feng gave a horrible shriek. The shattering energies had injured his internal organs. Lin Feng moved back after he threw them. Even though he had made those talismans, he didn"t want to get caught-up in their explosions.

By this point Yan Feng"s face was deathly pale and he was overwhelmed with pain. However, Lin Feng didn"t stop. He moved like the wind and continued oppressing him with a force which was multiplied by a thousand.

"My force is only multiplied by nine hundred, so I can"t resist his force." thought Yan Feng. He was getting desperate now, so he suddenly released even more fire which engulfed himself, turning him into a fire monster. After that, he started to run away, trying to avoid Lin Feng"s force.

A cloud appeared above them, it was filled with a terrifying strength.

"What?" Lin Feng was surprised.

"Cosmic energy!" the members of the Mu Clan and the members of the Yan Clan suddenly stopped fighting. They raised their heads and looked at the sky.

"He"s going to break through to the Huang Qi layer." thought the crowd. Yan Feng and Lin Feng were both terrifying cultivators, and seeing how Lin Feng kept oppressing Yan Feng, Yan Feng was constantly being pushed to his limits.

As Yan Feng thought he was going to die, he suddenly understood force even better, and his cosmic energies were already at the maximum level. With those, he was finally going to break through to the Huang Qi layer.

The cloud of cosmic energies condensed, their energies falling onto Yan Feng"s body. Yan Feng"s fire cosmic energy began burning more pa.s.sionately, even his body seemed like it was going to burn.

Yan Feng closed his eyes and raised his head, welcoming the cosmic energies where were cleansing his body.

"Good, that"s the genius of our clan!" the leader of the Yan Clan looked excited.

"It seems like we should be grateful." said the leader of the Yan Clan, looking at Lin Feng. If Lin Feng hadn"t threatened Yan Feng, it would have been difficult for him to break through to the Huang Qi layer.

"But even if we"re grateful, things are not over. The battle must end." said the leader of the Yan Clan. Of course, he meant that Yan Feng and Lin Feng still needed to kill one or the other.

"You can stop the battle now." said Mu Lin Xue"s teacher indifferently.

"Finish the battle? Do you think the battle can stop only because you want them to stop? They must finish, and there must be a winner." said Yan Feng"s teacher coldly.

"Hmph! Lin Feng had the advantage, yet you all intervened, and now that Yan Feng has broken through to the Huang Qi layer, you want the battle to continue? Do you all hear how ridiculous you are?" said Mu Lin Xue"s teacher.

"I intervened, I admit that I made a mistake. But it has nothing to do with their battle. Since they agreed to it, the battle must finish." said Yan Feng"s teacher.

"Indeed, the battle must continue. How could we stop here?" said the members of the Yan Clan, all whom were smiling coldly.

Many people looked at Lin Feng, who was still standing in the sky. He was calmly watching as Yan Feng broke through to the Huang Qi layer. Seeing someone break through to the Huang Qi layer was a mysterious scene and got Lin Feng thinking. Since he understood several different types of abstruse energies, when he broke through to the Huang Qi layer, would several types of cosmic energies enter his body?

Finally, Yan Feng opened his eyes and a light made of fire streaked across the sky. It seemed that Lin Feng couldn"t use his demonic eyes to deal with him anymore.

"Lin Feng, you"re surprised, right?" said Yan Feng smiling. He had broken through to the Huang Qi layer, and he felt good, powerful even.

"Now, kneel down and cripple your own cultivation. Only then will I let you leave." said Yan Feng. He looked proud and arrogant. He had almost forgotten that a moment before, he could have died.

"You"re broken through to the Huang Qi layer, but I have the feeling that you haven"t progressed at all." said Lin Feng, glancing at Yan Feng. Lin Feng had already fought emperors. In Yao Ye Island, he had also learnt from emperors, fighting their emperors millions of times. Even though he had lost or escaped each time, he was confident in his abilities now.

"Lin Feng." said Mu Lin Xue, she was scared to death. She was still looking very, very nervous, which wasn"t surprising because Yan Feng had become an emperor after all!

"That guy doesn"t seem worried." thought Mu Qing Ying. Didn"t he know that there was a huge difference between emperors and Zun cultivators?

Bang! Yan Feng took a step forwards, releasing terrifying fire cosmic energies. The sky turned red as he released these energies.

"Yan Feng, kill him." said the leader of the Yan Clan. After releasing all these energies, Yan Feng started running towards Lin Feng again. He raised his hands and his fists turned into two dazzling fireb.a.l.l.s made of cosmic energy.

Lin Feng shook his hands as demonic lights appeared in the sky, quickly turning into demonic marks which contained terrifying shattering energies.

"Die." said Yan Feng. His fire surrounded Lin Feng, making him look like a tiny ant inside that fiery mountain.

"Lin Feng." shouted Mu Lin Xue. Why hadn"t Lin Feng dodged? Why!

"Celestial Death Curtain, die!" said a voice. Lin Feng, who was practically bathing in that ocean of flames, launched pitch-black death energies which collided with the fire.

Chapter 1647: Killing an Emperor

"What kind of power is that?" thought the crowd. Lin Feng still had the strength of the Zun Qi layer, but was still competing with Yan Feng, who had broken through to the Huang Qi layer. His death energies didn"t seem any weaker than Yan Feng"s energies.
 
All the emperors from Gold-Fire Tower were open-mouthed, speechless. Lin Feng could resist an emperor"s cosmic energies, which meant that he was a hundred times stronger than ordinary cultivators of the ninth Zun Qi layer.

"What a guy…" thought Mu Lin Xue. She too was speechless.

Yan Feng was no exception, he too was speechless. Lin Feng raised his hands and released shattering energies, filling his Celestial Death Curtain with an indestructible strength. The sky shook as the fire cosmic energies broke apart. At the same time, the Celestial Death Curtain seemed like it was also falling apart, but Yan Feng still felt oppressed.

"Die!" said Lin Feng as he raised both of his hands and used his Deadly Demon Punch. Yan Feng"s face turned deathly pale, his cosmic energies weren"t enough.

"Great Earth Destruction!" shouted Lin Feng. He moved like the wind and pierced through the fire. Then, he continued moving towards Yan Feng.

At that moment, Yan Feng couldn"t block anymore, he didn"t have any strength left. He had just broken through to the Huang Qi layer, so how could he die now?

A beam of light appeared, causing the s.p.a.ce around Yan Feng to distort. He was going to die!

Yan Feng had millions of thoughts racing through his mind.

In the blink of an eye, he had gone from h.e.l.l to heaven, and now he was going right back to h.e.l.l.

"No…" shouted Yan Feng desperately.

The members of the Yan Clan were astonished. How? How could that happen? Yan Feng had broken through to the Huang Qi layer! They couldn"t save Yan Feng by this point. Yan Feng"s skull started cracking and then his body exploded.

He was dead!

Yan Feng"s body disappeared, and only Lin Feng remained.

"He killed an emperor?" the crowd remained speechless. This was surreal to them.

Crack! The Level Nine Professor clenched his fists tightly. Lin Feng had killed an emperor, so he knew what that meant. Lin Feng was even more important to them than he had previously thought.

"In his Celestial Death Curtain, I sensed death, demon, wind, empty s.p.a.ce and Earth energies. Then in his Great Earth Destruction, I sensed mainly Earth energies, but it also contained demon, empty s.p.a.ce and thunder energies." thought the professor, closing his eyes as he tried to remember Lin Feng"s attacks.

There was no doubt that Lin Feng would probably become a famous emperor in the future. It also meant that after breaking through to the Huang Qi layer, he would be able to kill emperors of the same level easily, just like he could kill Zun cultivators of the same level now.

Yan Feng"s teacher"s facial expression was interesting, he looked completely confused. He had just recruited a disciple, then that disciple broke through to the Huang Qi layer, and a few minutes later, his disciple was killed…

"Mu Lin Xue made friends with a future G.o.d." thought the members of the Mu Clan, astonished.

"Lin Xue, Lin Feng is beyond incredible." Mu Qing Ying had already walked over to Mu Lin Xue. Her eyes were wide open, as if she had just witnessed a miracle. She had never heard of a Zun cultivator who could kill an emperor, and Lin Feng made it look easy.

"I didn"t know he was so strong, I"ve never seen him fight before." whispered Mu Lin Xue. Mu Qing Ying smiled wryly. She remembered her reactions in the past, she felt ridiculous now. Could Lin Feng have joined the Mu Clan for her?

"You dared kill him?" said the leader of the Yan Clan furiously. Yan Feng was the most outstanding disciple the Yan Clan had.

Chapter 1648: Making Friends with Important People

"You killed him?" shouted the leader of the Yan Clan furiously. Yan Feng was the most outstanding disciple of the Yan Clan.

Everyone from the Yan Clan were furious. Yan Feng had just broken through to the Huang Qi layer, he had become a rising genius and in the blink of an eye, Lin Feng had killed him.

Lin Feng turned to the leader of the Yan Clan and smiled amusingly.

"He"s already dead, why do you ask?" said Lin Feng mockingly.

The leader of the Yan Clan shook his hands and a gigantic fire hand appeared in the sky, instantly moving towards Lin Feng.

"Such powerful cosmic strength!" Lin Feng frowned while looking at the fire hand. That hand could kill ten people at the same time.

Lin Feng groaned coldly and moved back. At the same time, he took out the talisman from Gold-Fire Tower. The Level Nine Professor groaned coldly and attacked to defend Lin Feng. Terrifying cosmic energies appeared, and they sky shook. With that, the cosmic energies from the leader of the Yan Clan exploded and disappeared.

"Does the Yan Clan want to be exterminated?" asked Mu Lin Xue"s teacher. The professors in golden-red clothes and Mu Lin Xue"s teacher moved forwards, all of them looking at the members of the Yan Clan.

"You said you wanted the fight to happen, otherwise Yan Feng wouldn"t have died. Now, Lin Feng killed Yan Feng in a fair battle and you dare attack him while still inside Gold-Fire Tower"s territory? Are you trying to provoke Gold-Fire Tower?" asked a professor in golden-red clothes. The Yan Clan"s leader"s face turned deathly pale after he realized what he did.

"We wouldn"t dare, we were just caught up in the moment. Please forgive us." said the leader, lowering his head. Even though he was asking for forgiveness, his eyes were bloodshot with rage.

"We forgive you this time, it wasn"t easy for your clan to finish second at the tournament after all. However, if this happens again, we"ll wipe the Yan Clan off the map." said the professor the golden-purple clothes indifferently.

"I understand." said the leader of the Yan Clan with his head still lowered.

"Since you understand, then p.i.s.s off!" said the professor in golden-purple clothes. With that, the members of the Yan Clan then started leaving.

A strong cultivator from Sword Mountain looked at the Level Nine Professor, his eyes looked fierce.

"Those people from Gold-Fire Tower are sly. Although Yan Feng could be an a.s.set to Gold-Fire Tower, Lin Feng was a guest of honor who would amount to a lot more than Yan Feng. Lin Feng"s future potential was limitless." thought the strong cultivator from Sword Mountain.

"Alright, the tournament is over, everybody can do whatever they want now." said the Level Nine Professor to the crowd.

"Little Feng, if you have time, come to Sword Mountain. This is our talisman, if you need anything, use it to contact us. We will do our best to help you if you need." said the strong cultivator from Sword Mountain to Lin Feng.

Everybody was astonished. Sword Mountain and the Yan Clan had collaborated for a long time and now that person was trying to befriend Lin Feng? If the Yan Clan saw that, they"d be furious.

"Thank you very much, Master. This is perfect, I already have a good friend, who"s like a brother to me, who"s a disciple in Sword Mountain. If I have time, I"ll come and visit." said Lin Feng smiling. The strong cultivator was surprised and asked, "Who"s your friend?"

"Ruo Xie, I hope he"s being treated well." said Lin Feng laughing. The strong cultivator smiled and said, "Alright, I wouldn"t have thought that Ruo Xie was your friend. It"s no wonder he"s a genius. These days, Ruo Xie is locked-up in a room practicing cultivation. He said he wouldn"t come out until he became an emperor. I think that he"s going to break through to the Huang Qi layer soon."

"Ruo Xie is very determined. I have no doubt he"ll break through to the Huang Qi layer." said Lin Feng smiling.

"Indeed, Ruo Xie is a great cultivator. Back then, he chased a group of cultivators at the top of the Zun Qi layer, including cultivators of the very top of the Zun Qi layer. In the end he managed to catch up with them and kill them all. Because he"s so merciless, many people in Sword Mountain have noticed him. You guys are beasts!" said the strong cultivator smiling.

The strong cultivator smiled and said, "Alright, I"m leaving now. Please come to Sword Mountain when you have time. You and Ruo Xie will be able to have a few drinks together." Then he left.

"Lin Feng, this the talisman of our sect, you can come to Tian Yu Feng whenever you want." A few more strong cultivators gave their talismans to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng politely took them. Whether or not he"d choose to go, he expressed his appreciation and gave them face.

"Everybody only pays attention to him." thought Hen Chang Tian and Ge Qing Feng smiling wryly.

Mu Lin Xue smiled in a gentle way. Everybody had forgotten about her too.

"Sister Lin Xue, Lin Feng joined the Mu Clan for you, so does he like you?" asked Mu Qing Ying. Mu Lin Xue"s smile became rigid, she looked embarra.s.sed and confused because she didn"t know either.

She shook her head and whispered, "I don"t know what he wants."

"Well, Sister Lin Xue, did you fall in love with him?" asked Mu Qing Ying smiling. Mu Lin Xue blushed, she didn"t look at Mu Qing Ying"s eyes for she was too shy.

"You spent so much time together and he"s so outstanding. If you fell in love with him, it would only be normal." whispered Mu Qing Ying after she saw Lin Xue"s reaction.

"Lin Xue!" said a voice at that moment. Mu Lin Xue turned around to see Muyi.

"Father." Mu Lin Xue hadn"t seen him for a long time.

"Lin Xue, congratulations!” said Muyi, smiling in a gentle way. He had made the right decision in asking Lin Feng for help.

"You decided to leave back then, so why did you come back?" asked Mu Lin Xue in a cold way. She was blaming her father for leaving her in such a difficult situation. Even though he had been expelled, he shouldn"t have left like that.

Muyi smiled wryly and said, "Lin Xue, I know you"re angry at me, but I didn"t give up since then. I missed you and I really wanted to help you."

"Help me to do what? You only came back now that everything"s fine." said Mu Lin Xue. Her face was red from anger.

"Lin Xue, Uncle Muyi really wanted to help you." said Lin Feng in a gentle way, walking to them. Mu Lin Xue was suddenly confused, Lin Feng called her father Uncle?

"Lin Feng, you…"

"Indeed, Uncle Muyi took me to Gold-Fire City to help you. I didn"t know about Gold-Fire City before and I didn"t know about the tournament either." said Lin Feng. Mu Lin Xue was still red, but not from anger. She looked at her father, having understood everything now. Her father had asked Lin Feng to join the Mu Clan!

Chapter 1649: Gold-Fire Tower"s Territory

"Why didn"t you tell me?" Lin Xue asked Lin Feng and Muyi.

"Lin Xue, I told Lin Feng not to tell you anything. You have a bad temper, so if you had known that I had sent Lin Feng, you would have only gotten angry." said Muyi smiling. "But now everything is fine. You and Lin Feng are close to each other, aren"t you?"

Mu Lin Xue remained silent for a few second, then Lin Feng walked closer to her and smiled, "Uncle Muyi has been studying deployment spells very hard these past few years, and after getting to know you, I understood that all his effort was for you. But then he met me and had asked me to come instead of him. You understand why he did all that, right?"

Mu Lin Xue raised her head and saw Lin Feng"s gentle smile. Finally, she nodded and said, "Father."

Muyi looked sad and happy at the same time. He smiled at Lin Feng.

"Muyi, we"ve been treated you so poorly. The Mu Clan owes you an apology." said the leader of the Mu Clan to Muyi.

"I understand, Master." said Muyi nodding.

"Good, let"s go back to the clan then. Lin Xue is now a member of Gold-Fire Tower, so she probably wants to go there now." said the leader of the Mu Clan.

"Alright." Muyi knew why he had to go back. They also understood that Muyi had made Lin Feng join the Mu Clan, so if they were good to Muyi, they"d also be friends with Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, please take care of Lin Xue." said Muyi, smiling in a deep and meaningful way. Then, he looked at Lin Feng and smiled, "You look really cute together. Haha. I"m off."

Then, Muyi left with the other members of the Mu Clan.

"Lin Feng, don"t listen to my dad."

"Sister Lin Xue, I also think that you"re a perfect match. I"m off." said Mu Qing Ying laughing. Then, she left with the other members of the Mu Clan as well. Lin Feng watched as Mu Qing Ying and Mu Xiao left. Then he glanced at Mu Xiao indifferently, making him shudder in fear.

But Lin Feng didn"t cause any trouble, Mu Qing Ying already understood what Mu Xiao had done, so she could deal with him on her own.

The crowd dispersed, leaving only the professors of Gold-Fire Tower left.

Mu Lin Xue"s teacher approached her and smiled, "Mu Lin Xue, you obtained the nine-headed snake fire, so I"ll help you modify it. I think your weapon crafting will improve a lot with it."

"Thank you very much, Teacher." said Mu Lin Xue smiling. She couldn"t wait to use the fire.

"If my colleagues in the golden-red clothes could teach you their ways of controlling fire, then it"d be even more perfect." said her teacher. A teacher in golden-red clothes walked towards them at that moment and said, "I"d be happy to help her, of course."

"Thank you, Master." said Mu Lin Xue.

"Don"t forget about our bet." said Mu Lin Xue"s teacher to Yan Feng"s teacher.

"Lin Feng, come and have a walk inside Gold-Fire Tower. If you changed your mind, you can still become one of our disciples." said the professor in golden-purple clothes while smiling. Lin Feng nodded politely, "Thank you, Master."

"Let"s go. Let"s show all the new disciples our territory as well." said the professor. Everybody nodded and then they followed.

The gate to the tower was gigantic and possessed a magnificent golden gleam. They crossed the gate and suddenly, the landscape changed like night and day.

"From outside, I thought the Qi wasn"t that great and that it would be small, but actually it"s another small world." thought Lin Feng. That small world was filled with fire cosmic energy, practically rolling in waves. One could also hear hammer sounds in the distance.
 
"You should mentally prepare yourselves for what"ll come next. All the disciples from Gold-Fire Tower are weapon manufacturers who practice non-stop, every day. That means you"ll have to hammer weapons every day!" said the professor in golden-purple clothes. Everybody nodded, they already knew that.

"Of course, you have to become stronger to make more powerful weapons, so Gold-Fire Tower provides its disciples with all sorts of things: prizes, cosmic energies, deployment spell, ancient scriptures." said the professor. "Let"s go and see."

They continued walking through the small world, soon arriving in another empty s.p.a.ce. There were many pavilions and lofty buildings, each building possessing a different Qi.

"Earth Qi!" thought Lin Feng, glancing at a tower.

"Indeed, that"s the Earth tower. We don"t only cultivate fire Qi in Gold-Fire Tower, there are also Earth, ice, wind, life, and death towers." explained the professor.

"The world of cultivation is vast, and Gold-Fire City is only the tip of the iceberg." thought Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, you"re a guest of honor here, so you can use all the towers as you wish. You should spend some time here and practice. You can also stay here forever, I wouldn"t mind." said the professor laughing. He knew that Lin Feng knew several types of energies, so those towers were very useful for him.

Chapter 1650: The Legendary Holy City

A few professors took Lin Feng to several towers and then they left, allowing Lin Feng to do what he wanted.

After they left, Lin Feng picked a tower, and chose the third floor, of which there were nine.

The atmosphere was distorted inside the tower. A heavy energy surrounded Lin Feng as soon as he walked in. Even though he was seated, he still felt heavily oppressed.

He had chosen the Earth tower first.

Lin Feng"s Earth abstruse energy had already reached the maximum abstruse level, but he hadn"t started learning cosmic energies yet. To understand Earth cosmic energy, he had to truly be one with the Earth.

Fire cosmic energy was brutal and aggressive, while Earth cosmic energy was heavy.

"Those towers must have been built by some incredible cultivators!" thought Lin Feng. He raised his head and looked at the other floors. If he continued to go up, the energies would get denser and heavier.

"I can"t understand Earth cosmic energy yet, but I could try some of the other energies to see if I can understand them better." thought Lin Feng, standing up. Then, he left the tower.

Some time pa.s.sed, and Lin Feng visited all the towers. He didn"t waste any time. He had already spent a lot of time studying deployment spells, so now he needed to improve his cultivation again. He had to break through to the Huang Qi layer.

Time pa.s.sed as Lin Feng studied all sorts of energies. Without him noticing, half a year pa.s.sed.

At that moment, at the top of the fire tower, two people were sitting there and cultivating. One of them was wearing purple clothes and was a Level Seven Professor. The other one wore a pale dress and drew a lot of attention from both genders.

That was Mu Lin Xue and her teacher. Even with the help of her teacher and the teacher in golden-red clothes, it had taken her half a year to modify her snake fire.

"Lin Xue, you should have a rest, you"ve made great efforts this past half-year." said her teacher, smiling.

"I"m alright, and I should be thanking you for the efforts you"ve taken to help me." said Mu Lin Xue in a gentle way.

"Since I"m your teacher, it"s only natural. You"ve already modified the snake fire, now, becoming stronger will be even easier for you. After you break through to the Huang Qi layer, you"ll be able to absorb the rest of the fire and modify it yourself. I"m sure you"ll become stronger than me in the future." said the teacher.

Mu Lin Xue smiled. She hoped that she"d become very strong of course.

"Teacher, you must be tired, you should have a rest. Don"t worry about me, I"m just going to have a walk." said Mu Lin Xue, smiling at her teacher. The he said, "What you mean to say is that you want to go and see your lover."

"Eh…" Mu Lin Xue looked shy and said, "Teacher, Lin Feng is just my friend. He only came to help me because of my father."

"So what? You"re very close to each other, and usually people are friends before they start a relations.h.i.+p." said the teacher. Mu Lin Xue"s heart started racing after she thought about it.

"Lin Xue, the Continent of the Nine Clouds is vast, Gold-Fire City is only a small part of the continent. Lin Feng is extremely talented, so he"ll certainly amaze the Continent of the Nine Clouds someday. You and Lin Feng are close, and you like him, you should take the initiative while you still have it. If you miss your chance now, you"ll regret it someday." her teacher explained.

Mu Lin Xue remained silent for a moment, then saying, "Teacher, I"m going." She smiled at her teacher one last time, and then left.

"Lin Feng." Mu Lin Xue found Lin Feng rather quickly. She had arranged her hair while walking over and was now smiling sweetly at him.

"Lin Xue, you"ve became even stronger." said Lin Feng.

"I still don"t know how strong you are though. Back then, your force was multiplied by a thousand, and your abstruse energies were also at their highest levels. One more step and you"ll break through to the Huang Qi layer." Mu Lin Xue was praising him.

"Maybe." said Lin Feng smiling. He didn"t admit it, but indeed, one more step and he"d break through to the Huang Qi layer. However, that was easier said than done. He needed an opportunity for that and he didn"t know when it would come.

"Where are we going?" Mu Lin Xue asked as Lin Feng seemed to be taking them somewhere.

"I want to go and see the professor in the golden-purple clothes and asked him for a map. I"m not familiar with the Continent of the Nine Clouds."

She was surprised to hear him say that. It meant that he was planning on leaving.

"The Continent of the Nine Clouds is too large, it might even be endless. The professor can"t have a map of the entire continent. We"re in the Dark Night Region, but I"m not even sure you could find a map of the entire Region!" said Mu Lin Xue.

"Lin Xue, where does that name come from?" asked Lin Feng.

Mu Lin Xue was surprised, Lin Feng didn"t know something so ordinary.

"I"m not sure about the details but the Continent of the Nine Clouds is divided into nine major plates, the nine clouds: The G.o.dly Clouds, the Dark Clouds, the Green Jade Clouds, the Red Clouds, the Bright Clouds, the Jade Clouds, the Blue Pale Clouds, the Purple Clouds and the Supreme Clouds. Of these, Gold-Fire City is in the Dark Clouds." Mu Lin Xue explained.

"What about the Holy City? Does it exist?" asked Lin Feng. In the small world, people had said that the great world was the Holy City.

"The Holy City exists indeed. It"s an important celestial city, one of eighteen in the Dark Night Region. Although I"ve heard about it, I"ve never been there because it"s very, very far away." replied Mu Lin Xue.

"It really exists." whispered Lin Feng. And it was a famous celestial city at that!

Chapter 1651: Vast Celestial Ancient City

"Holy City…" Lin Feng frowned as he thought of something.

The Diviner had told him to come to Holy City to find him, but did he mean the real Holy City as in the celestial city or did he mean the great world as a whole?

If the Diviner had meant the entire great world, then it would be extremely difficult to find him, unless Fortune Shrine was very famous and everybody knew about it in the Continent of the Nine Clouds.

"Lin Xue, do you know about Fortune Shrine?" Lin Feng asked.

"Fortune Shrine." Mu Lin Xue s.h.i.+vered. Fortune Shrine was very mysterious, even more so than the Holy City. She didn"t know much about it besides the name. According to legends, it was one of the most powerful influential groups in the world.

"The Holy City is in the Dark Night region, and it"s one of the main cities, so maybe you"ll learn more about it there. I"m not strong enough, so I"ve never had the opportunity to learn more about it." said Mu Lin Xue.

"Lin Xue, have you ever heard of the Vast Celestial Ancient City?" asked Lin Feng. Mu Lin Xue looked at Lin Feng in a strange way. He didn"t know much about the Continent of the Nine Clouds, so she was wondering how he had lived before.

"Lin Feng, the Vast Celestial Ancient City is one of the main cities, just like the Holy City. It"s one of the eighteen ancient cities that kind of reign over the region we are in." said Mu Lin Xue: "By the way, why do you ask me that?"

"I see." thought Lin Feng. This reminded him a bit of Tiantai in the northern part of Ba Huang. If it was the same, then that meant their region was probably divided into eighteen parts and each of them was controlled by a city.

"I saw that in the memories an old man had transmitted to me." said Lin Feng to Mu Lin Xue. He didn"t explain more though. Actually, he had learnt about the Vast Celestial Ancient City in the memories of the Everlasting Celestial Emperor. The Everlasting Palace still wanted to capture Lin Feng, so there were things he couldn"t talk about. He didn"t know how far he was from Si Xiang City, but if he wasn"t far, he had to leave soon.

"The professor must have a map of the region at least." said Lin Feng.

"Maybe, since you want one, we can go and see him. I"ll come with you too." said Mu Lin Xue smiling. Lin Feng nodded and they both crossed Gold-Fire Tower to get to the professor"s place. The professor, six months before, had told Lin Feng to come if he needed anything.

After a short time, Lin Feng and Mu Lin Xue arrived in front of a golden-purple tower, which reminded them of the professor"s clothes.

"Lin Feng, Mu Lin Xue." Someone came out and appeared in the courtyard. He smiled, "Don"t be shy, come here."

"Thank you very much, Master." said Lin Feng bowing.

"Not bad, you"ve both progressed a lot, Lin Feng will become an emperor soon!" said the professor.

"I wonder when I"ll be able to break through to the Huang Qi layer." said Lin Feng smiling. Many people"s cultivation stopped at different points. Even though Lin Feng was talented, breaking through to the Huang Qi layer wasn"t going to be easy.

"When you are ready, things happen naturally. Maybe someday you"ll understand something suddenly and then level up." said the professor smiling. "By the way, did you want something from me?"

"Master, do you have a map of the region controlled by the Vast Celestial Ancient City?" said Lin Feng straightforwardly.

"Oh?" The professor"s eyes twinkled. He smiled and said, "Lin Feng, do you want to go to the Vast Celestial Ancient City?"

"I"m thinking of going." said Lin Feng.

"The Vast Celestial Ancient City is one of the eighteen main cities in our region. There are many strong cultivators there, powerful sects and clans, many geniuses, it"s a heaven for cultivators is what I"m getting at. Of course, it can also be h.e.l.l for some people, depending on their luck. Lin Feng, I will send some strong cultivators there in a few months, if you want, you can go with them." said the professor.

"A young person from Gold-Fire Tower is in the Vast Celestial Ancient City, and in a few months, those people will go and visit him. They"ll also bring some young people to broaden their horizons." said the professor.

"Having said this, if you still want to go alone, you can. I have maps in my memories, and I can transmit a map of the region to you." said the professor smiling. He didn"t want Lin Feng to misunderstand him.

"Thank you very much, Master." said Lin Feng bowing. Then, the professor transmitted the memories to Lin Feng. It was kind of blurry though, several places were not distinct. It was probably difficult to make a precise map of such a huge place.

"Master, I"m off, I"ll see you later." said Lin Feng before he turned around left with Mu Lin Xue.

"Lin Feng, what do you want to do now?" Mu Lin Xue asked him.

"Since the end of the tournament, we"ve been staying in Gold-Fire Tower the whole time. We should go and see Uncle Muyi." said Lin Feng cheerfully. Mu Lin Xue didn"t mind and smiled back, "I wonder how my dad is doing, let"s go to the Mu Clan."

The Mu Clan was prosperous those days. Since the end of the tournament, Muyi had gone back, and Mu Lin Xue"s uncle had been expelled. The Mu Clan was still under a lot of pressure from the Yan Clan though. Of course, the Yan Clan didn"t dare openly attack the Mu Clan either. Mu Lin Xue and Lin Feng had become important people to Gold Fire Tower, so who know what their response would be if they were openly hostile.

Lin Feng and Mu Lin Xue went back to the Mu Clan, many people instantly noticing them. Older people smiled at Lin Feng politely, having heard or seen about him kill an emperor, they could only admire him.

When Muyi saw Lin Feng and Mu Lin Xue, he instantly became happy. They had food and drinks before Lin Feng wanted to leave.

"Where are you going, Lin Feng?" Mu Lin Xue asked. She seemed sad, as if she didn"t want Lin Feng to leave.

"Lin Xue, you should stay here in the Mu Clan. I want to go to Sword Mountain." Lin Feng said. Sword Mountain wasn"t far from Gold-Fire Tower. Lin Feng wanted to go and see Ruo Xie seeing how he hadn"t traveled for a year. He didn"t like staying in the same place for too long. After he came back, then he"d go to the Vast Celestial Ancient City with the people from Gold-Fire Tower.

"I want to come with you." said Mu Lin Xue. She looked strange, as if she was scared that Lin Feng would never come back.

Lin Feng smiled wryly and said, "Don"t worry, I"ll come back to Gold-Fire Tower. This trip won"t take that long."

Mu Lin Xue lowered her head, she looked sad and disappointed.

"Haha, Lin Xue, are you really so scared that Lin Feng won"t come back?" said Muyi laughing. Mu Lin Xue blushed and said, "Dad."

"Alright, everybody knows how you"re feeling. Lin Feng, go, I"ll take care of my daughter." said Muyi. Lin Feng smiled wryly, he knew that Muyi wanted him to be with his daughter.

"Uncle Muyi, Lin Xue, I"m off." said Lin Feng. And then he moved like the wind and left. Muyi then stopped smiling and whispered, "That little boy is difficult to understand, it won"t be easy for you to start a relations.h.i.+p with him, Lin Xue."

Mu Lin Xue raised her head and watched as Lin Feng left. She knew that Lin Feng was just trying to keep some distance between them.
