Chapter 2132: Coming Back

The cauldron slowly descended from the sky. Lin Feng could see many beasts in the mountain range below. As a cauldron, Lin Feng had an all-around field of vision.

Some of the beasts were extremely strong. When the ancient cauldron descended from the sky and landed on the mountain, many beasts looked at him coldly. In the mountains, spiritual beasts usually liked keeping their animal forms, they didn"t mind having a beast form. However, they were still sentient and enlightened. When they saw the cauldron, they immediately understood that it was a precious treasure!

The beasts started roaring greedily. Many beasts raced over to the cauldron, snarling and eager. However, Lin Feng merely smiled icily. He let the beasts get near and did nothing.

The beasts were vigilant. When they saw that that cauldron was alone and n.o.body around, they drew closer. When they did, deadly lights appeared around the cauldron and filled the air. The beasts couldn"t control their souls anymore. The cauldron had been trying to absorb their souls!

Dead beasts appeared at the top of the mountain, their souls sucked in by the ancient cauldron.

The Ten Thousand Evolutions Cauldron released some evolution strength, which filled the air. The beasts" souls started shaking violently, trying to resist, but it was useless. Very quickly, their souls were destroyed and modified.

"What powerful evolution strength!" praised Lin Feng. He was astonished. The beasts weren"t too strong, but still, absorbing their souls and modifying them was something exceptional, and he realized it was different than when he modified weapons or other things. The Ten Thousand Evolutions Cauldron was a better "pilot" than he was and could easily modify souls. He had turned into the cauldron"s soul, but he hadn"t become a cauldron, he could just act as the cauldron. He didn"t fuse together with the souls he absorbed them, however; he just wanted to use them to "drive" the cauldron.

"Those souls can help me drive the Ten Thousand Evolutions Cauldron. So can my soul leave it now?" he wondered. He tried to bring his soul out of the cauldron.

"How painful! It"s my soul is being flayed!" he grimaced when he felt the pain. He stopped and thought, “That ancient cauldron needs my soul to deploy its explosive strength. If my soul leaves the cauldron, the other souls will disperse, becoming an ancient cauldron isn"t easy! The best way is to absorb many beasts" souls and turn them into the cauldron"s strength."

When Lin Feng realized that, he stopped moving aimlessly and brought his body away. He needed to kill some beasts!

——

Very quickly, a gigantic tiger appeared and ran towards the cauldron, brandis.h.i.+ng his claws. Of course, when he touched the cauldron, a fearsome strength instantly absorbed his soul, and he died.

"I need to modify the cauldron"s strength with my own soul; using the beasts" soul to drive the cauldron requires too much strength," thought Lin Feng. His soul was the cauldron"s soul, he could recover his own soul strength but not that of the beasts, but it didn"t matter. His own soul strength was enough for now.

Lin Feng didn"t need to hunt for beasts, they came to him automatically, Lin Feng just welcomed them and absorbed their souls. If he encountered powerful and extremely strong cultivators, he didn"t need Qin Shan"s help anymore, he just used the cauldron to attack them.

Lin Feng sensed that the ancient cauldron"s souls were becoming more and more powerful, and felt more confident. He even became excited to hunt beasts. When beasts took a human form, he didn"t want to hunt them; but if they had an animal form, he didn"t mind, it was open season!.

He moved rather quickly, crossing a forest and making sure he drew n.o.body"s attention; after all, there were some truly dangerous beasts in the continent, so he had to be careful! He emerged from the forest and arrived above a beautiful river, the sounds of splas.h.i.+ng water filling the air.

Lin Feng was amazed. The river was quite beautiful…  and a silhouette appeared indistinctly on its sh.o.r.es. She had wet jet-black hair, looked quite meek and mild, very pretty with extremely white skin… and her Qi was incredible, too! She was wearing simple white clothes, and looked extremely desirable.

"Eh?" When the beautiful woman saw the cauldron, she looked interested. That ancient cauldron looked powerful, it was probably a high-tier Great Imperial Weapon. When the cauldron saw her, it stopped! How strange!

The woman came out of the water; she had a perfect body, absolutely flawless, and her clothes were transparent! Luckily, Lin Feng was a cauldron, so he had thoughts, but his body didn"t react since he was a cauldron at the moment.

"What a beautiful seal!," he thought when he saw the necklace with a seal between her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. It looked extremely life-like.

The woman suddenly laughed, a robe appeared around her and she released hot Qi, drying her clothes instantly. She looked at the cauldron and smiled, “You"re a perverted cauldron. Do you have the same mental abilities as a human?"

"Eh…" Lin Feng almost had cold sweats. What would the woman have thought if she had known he was a man?

"You"re a cauldron without a master?" the woman asked Lin Feng gently. Her smile was magnificent. Lin Feng just rotated twice as if he was trying to shake his head, and the woman looked disappointed, “Interesting cauldron, you are self-aware, but unfortunately, you have a master. Otherwise, I would have taken you and we would have explored the world together."

Lin Feng was speechless… mostly because he couldn"t talk.

However, at that moment, a hurricane started howling, b.e.s.t.i.a.l Qi filled the air and rose to the skies. The woman frowned as she released an ice-cold Qi. She didn"t look so nice and gentle anymore. Lin Feng was surprised at how fast her demeanor changed.

It was good that he was a cauldron; if he had been a man, he wouldn"t have seen her smile, he would have just seen her furious…

Powerful beasts were rus.h.i.+ng over. The leader of the group of beasts had a human form and he was staring at the woman. He looked at her coldly and his b.e.s.t.i.a.l Qi was impressive.

"Capture her!" ordered that man coldly. The beasts started running at her, making the earth and sky tremble. The force of the stampede even made Lin Feng tremble. They looked fierce and powerful.

However, the woman just took out a soft sword in response. She was extremely fast, invisible and intangible Qi filling the air. Lin Feng just saw blood splash, and in the blink of an eye, all the beasts were dead. She put her soft sword on the leader"s throat, blood dripping from it.

"How fast! Her attacks are so precise. She killed those beasts in one sword strike each time!" praised Lin Feng. The woman put her sword away and recalled her Qi.

Her silhouette flickered. She landed in front of the cauldron and caressed it. Lin Feng moved back in surprise.

"Eh, you"re shy?" asked the woman, giggling at him. Her beautiful eyes kept twinkling, she looked particularly interested in the cauldron. She continued caressing it and smiled, “Eh, you have a physical body and many deployment marks. Who"s your master? Unfortunately, I can"t take you with me, it would have been fun. See you!"

Then, the woman turned into a beam of light and disappeared.

"How fast, who is she?" Lin Feng was amazed. She had the same cultivation level as him, and was so strong. Lin Feng sighed… there were so many geniuses in G.o.dly Clouds!

—

Lin Feng didn"t dwell on it too much. He absorbed more beasts" souls and finally stopped after reaching a certain point.

The cauldron contained a great many more souls now. Lin Feng sensed that it would be much easier for his soul to leave the cauldron now. Even though it was painful, Lin Feng finally managed to leave the cauldron and move back into his body, which was still inside the cauldron.

His physical body in the cauldron slowly stood up. His muscles were definitely sore after being dead for several days! He took a deep breath and enjoyed being back in his body again. He whispered, “I"m finally back!"

Chapter 2133: Arriving in Town

G.o.dly Clouds was the center of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, and had borders with the eight other regions. It was extremely vast. It was difficult to imagine how vast it was, and impossible to know how many inhabitants lived there.

G.o.dly Clouds City was in the center of the region. It was a famous place. Many strong cultivators gathered there, especially for the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. People from the twelve districts of G.o.dly Clouds City were there to greet them.

East of G.o.dly Clouds City and up in the sky, were groups of cultivators. Some of them were on beasts, some of them were flying in the clouds, some of them were on the ground, some of them were even walking slowly. Some of them were alone, some of them were in groups, but the people didn"t stop.

At the same time,  from under a lake, someone raised their head and saw the numerous people all around and above them. It had started a while ago, it was like that every day, during the day, at night, at any time of the day. The number of people from the twelve cities who had arrived was incredible.

The cities of G.o.dly Clouds had therefore made a public announcement. People who weren"t emperors couldn"t go to the twelve cities of G.o.dly Clouds City. At the same time, they had to take a small exam to enter the city. G.o.dly Clouds wanted to eliminate some people. Otherwise, the city wouldn"t be able to accommodate everyone!

Every hundred years, it was the same thing there. Many people went there, determined to succeed. Every hundred years, many geniuses gathered in G.o.dly Clouds!

"How lively!" whispered an old man at that moment, up in the sky. He was at the top of the Huang Qi layer, but he felt tiny there. All the cultivators in the sky were all emperors of the top of the Huang Qi layer or great emperors.

They were all extremely strong!

"Grandpa, so many extremely strong cultivators!" exclaimed a young woman of the Huang Qi layer in a weak voice. In her village, she was considered extremely strong, people said she was a genius; it had taken them a year to arrive here. She had realized that everybody was extremely strong here!

"Yes, my little girl, our small village is not the only place where you can find extremely strong cultivators. In G.o.dly Clouds, there are millions of geniuses. We have to be discreet and avoid fighting anyone," replied the old man. This kind of place was dangerous, it was better not to offend anyone; one could never know, some people could be extremely strong and kill you.

"Don"t worry, grandpa. Why would I offend anyone?" whispered the young woman.

"People like you came to G.o.dly Clouds City to lose face." said someone not far from them. It was a group of five young men, making fun of them. The old man and the young woman turned around, they were startled, they had just said they wouldn"t offend anyone and suddenly, someone tried to provoke them. She just gulped it down, though.

"Little girl, let"s go." said the old man to the young woman, ignoring those people.

"Go? That girl is beautiful, let me help to protect her!" said a smiling young man. The four others surrounded the old man, all of them staring at the young woman. They had overheard the old man and the young woman"s conversation, so they knew that those two were from a small place. They had decided to capture her!

Of course, this was only a small thing which happened to some people who had come to the city. Many people remained discreet and didn"t want to offend anyone, many others tried to cause trouble for no reason. There were all sorts of people, and sometimes things were unavoidable.

Where there are many people, there is always chaos!

Of course, many people plotted against others as well…

A sword streaked across the sky and shot towards one of the young men. The air was filled with Sword intent.

The evil young men were stunned when they saw that. They turned around and saw a young man, like them, mounted on a beast. He slowly came towards them. His Sword intent filled the air. He had just carried out that sword attack a moment before.

Sword lights glittered, it was like time had stopped. The young men all disappeared into the sword lights.

They were unlucky. They had b.u.mped into a young man who didn"t understand what it meant to remain discreet, but even though he killed people in a cold and detached way, he seemed to have at least a little sense of justice and righteousness.

Lin Feng had the feeling his sense of justice and righteousness wasn"t very developed, because he had killed so many people.

The cultivation world was cruel; to become strong, it was necessary to kill people. Lin Feng was no exception. But just a moment before, for justice and righteousness, he had killed a few more people again.

The old man and the young woman only saw a handsome young man, he looked enigmatic and unfathomable. He was mounted on a fire lion, which looked particularly ferocious. The fire lion looked like Qiong Qi, so Lin Feng had captured it in the mountain range. The old man was scared when he sensed the fire lion"s Qi.

What level is that beast?, thought the old man. He looked up at Lin Feng and bowed. “Thank you very much for saving us, Master."

In his eyes, this young man had to be a disciple from a wealthy and powerful clan. He was very strong, talented, had a powerful beast, and with only a few sword attacks he had instantly killed a few young men of the same age; they belonged to two different worlds!

The young woman"s eyes twinkled. She looked at Lin Feng and said, “How strong!"

"It"s nothing, really," Lin Feng smiled. He looked quite impressive. The old man sighed. No wonder this young man was extremely strong, he had a completely different personality from the people he had just killed. He still thought Lin Feng was an extremely strong genius from a wealthy and powerful clan.

"Thanks to your slight effort, you saved my granddaughter and me," said the old man humbly. He knew that if this young man hadn"t helped them, his granddaughter would have been kidnapped and he would have been killed.

"I can"t tolerate anything like that happening in front of me," Lin Feng a.s.sured him, “In front of us is the eastern entrance of the twelve cities, right?"

"Indeed, we"re almost there!" said the old man nodded.

"Come," Lin Feng smiled. He was in a good mood. The old man was surprised and the young woman looked excited, she jumped onto the beast and smiled cutely, “Thank you, brother!"

"Thank you very much, Master, please forgive my granddaughter, she"s stubborn and obstreperous. Don"t blame her," said the old man respectfully. Even though Lin Feng"s cultivation level was similar to his, he knew he couldn"t compete with Lin Feng"s sword. Therefore, he didn"t dare let his granddaughter call him "brother". He had to remain vigilant!

"It"s alright. Just call me Lin Feng, Mister. This young girl is nice, and I am young, too. She can call me brother," said Lin Feng politely. The young woman made a face and the old man laughed, also jumping onto the fire lion. He wasn"t worried that Lin Feng would do anything to them or request anything. Lin Feng was too strong. He didn"t need to make them mount his lion to attract them. He found he trusted the young man, he was definitely honest and kind-hearted.

The fire lion sped forwards, his b.e.s.t.i.a.l Qi filling the air around them. In the sky, many people watched the beast strangely, wondering at its strength. Just like the old man, everybody thought the young man had to be from a wealthy and powerful family, or, he wouldn"t have had such a powerful beast even though he was still a cultivator of the Huang Qi layer.

The fire lion was a Great Imperial Beast! When Lin Feng captured it, it took great efforts. Finally, the lion had submitted. It was no wonder the crowd had the same thoughts as the old man.

"Brother, you come from a city near G.o.dly Clouds City?" asked the young woman. "No. I"m from the Dark Night Region." replied Lin Feng.

The young woman"s beautiful eyes twinkled, “How far! You actually come from another region. Is the Dark Night Region the same as G.o.dly Clouds?"

"The same goal can be reached using different routes. The Dark Night Region is less complex. There aren"t millions of clans fighting and competing all the time. The average strength is also lower than in G.o.dly Clouds."

"G.o.dly Clouds is in the center of the continent, so of course it"s the most powerful region. But you come from the Dark Night Region, and you"re extremely strong, brother. You must be an incredible public figure," smiled the young woman.

The three people chatted freely before they arrived at the eastern gate. The people who were flying all landed there. People had to pa.s.s through the gate, entering the city while flying was prohibited.

"We"re at the eastern gate, the most important one. Once you cross the gate, you"re really in town. I hope we"re not too late!" said the old man, looking at the gate. There was an empty s.p.a.ce gate there, and he naturally understood what it meant. Many people had gathered there. Some people managed to cross the gate, while many others were refused entry.

"Go, you can go," Lin Feng smiled

The old man nodded, “My granddaughter is quite talented, I"ll try first, and if I can go in, she"ll definitely be authorized entry, too."

Then, the old man walked to the gate but unfortunately, he was refused access, he came back disappointed and said, “We"ve been traveling for a year, and unfortunately, I was refused entry."

"Never mind. Let"s walk around the city and enjoy the landscapes," said the young woman to cheer him up. She didn"t want to go into the city without her grandfather.

"I"ll take you in," said Lin Feng, releasing Qi around the two people. He had  them enter his spirit world. He walked up to the gate with the lion, they crossed over and entered the central city of the Continent of the Nine Clouds.

The old man and the young woman reappeared, now inside the city. As they stood there, Lin Feng and the fire lion were already far away. They hadn"t even had time to react to what had happened…

Chapter 2134: Skill

Eastern Town was in the eastern part of G.o.dly Clouds City, hence the name.

It was just a district within the city but it was still gigantic. There were millions of clans and other kinds of influential groups. It was also divided into many sub-districts. The political situation was complex. Of course, there were a few groups at the top who looked down on the rest of the city. The strongest groups were probably backed up by the Shrines, so they were essential for the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds.

After all, the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds was in the inner part of G.o.dly Clouds City. Not everybody could go there, and not everybody could partic.i.p.ate in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. There would have been billions of people if so, and the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds would have been much less interesting.

Precisely for that reason, each time a Shrine organized the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, the strongest groups of the twelve cities had to be strict and check the potential partic.i.p.ants.

Of course, most people didn"t know what was going on behind the scenes. However, when people came to G.o.dly Clouds City, they always realized it was a mysterious place, a holy place for cultivation. G.o.dly Clouds City had to be an incredible place because, the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds took place there. It was easier to keep up-to-date with the news there.

Lin Feng had already released the old man and his granddaughter in town. By doing so, some people had probably noticed him, so he had to leave quickly. He departed quickly and was now walking on the main road. There were people all around. Lin Feng kept glancing around, having millions of thoughts. How many years had he been practicing cultivation? From the beginning, he would have never thought he"d be walking in the central city of the Continent of the Nine Clouds someday, G.o.dly Clouds City!

"The very center of the continent, how incredible." Lin Feng glanced around, noting many people looked enigmatic and unfathomable. Emperors looked like insects here, extremely weak. Most children were emperors already here, which made Lin Feng speechless. But when he saw the shops on both sides of the street, he also understood that they had more resources than anywhere else in the world.

He was at the top of the Huang Qi layer, and for that cultivation level, there were many useful items in the shops around him. There were also many auction houses. The powerful clans in those cities also had incredible items.

Lin Feng looked at the people around him. Many of them were also observing him. Of course, more people actually looked at his gigantic fire lion. To many people, that lion looked even more incredible than Lin Feng; the beast was a Great Imperial Beast and Lin Feng was just an emperor!

But people remained discreet. n.o.body tried to offend anyone. They were in G.o.dly Clouds City, not outside. Without knowing someone"s background, the best choice was not to offend them.

What should you do if you want to partic.i.p.ate in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds?, wondered Lin Feng. Even though he didn"t know the exact details, he knew that it was impossible to go to the meeting and partic.i.p.ate directly. There had to be a selection process, otherwise the meeting would have lasted forever. A filtering had to be done.

Lin Feng continued walking through the city, enjoying the landscapes. An open air restaurant appeared in his field of vision, with many people chatting on the terrace. Lin Feng smiled and walked over. Restaurants were perfect places to learn the news.

—

Lin Feng went to a table and listened to what people were talking about. He learned some important news in G.o.dly Clouds City.

For example, an extremely strong young person from a clan of alchemists had fought against some foreigners. They had bet on pellets and the foreigners had surprisingly won. Many people were startled. The clan was famous in G.o.dly Clouds City, and their young people were extremely strong, but surprisingly, their young clansman had lost. It was said that they intended to fight again to regain face.

After that, he heard people talk more about those young people who had challenged the young alchemist from G.o.dly Clouds City. They were actually from a very powerful clan of alchemists from Red Clouds. They were extremely strong, ambitious, and proud, and dared challenge extremely strong cultivators from G.o.dly Clouds City. They made Red Clouds seem even more prestigious. The news spread quickly everywhere in G.o.dly Clouds City, and many people were talking about it.

Of course, people talked about it because both sides were extremely strong. Actually, many foreigners challenged people from G.o.dly Clouds City. People from G.o.dly Clouds City  were inherently proud and arrogant. Their clans had existed for a long time in G.o.dly Clouds City. Most foreigners didn"t dare challenge people from G.o.dly Clouds City. However, it couldn"t be denied that the people who came to G.o.dly Clouds City were extremely strong and talented, and some of them were extraordinary. Their clans were all extraordinary in the other regions of the continent.

Lin Feng understood those things perfectly. If anyone tried to provoke Wu Jue, the thirteen Young Beast Masters from the Animal District, Chu Chun Qiu, or Saint Tianhun in G.o.dly Clouds City, would they submit to humiliation? The best thing to do was to protect oneself, but not to kill the young people from the powerful clans of G.o.dly Clouds City. If their young people didn"t die, then their clans could say anything, either.

In the restaurant, Lin Feng regretted that he hadn"t made You You come out. You You was in his spirit world with his family relaxing Sometimes, she practiced cultivation to stabilize her foundation. After all, she hadn"t reached such a cultivation level relying on her own abilities, she had been granted it with powers, a terrifyingly strong cultivator had sacrificed themself for her. She had to work on her cultivation constantly to stabilize it.

"This time, the Destiny Shrine is in charge of organizing the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. The twenty towns chose four groups of influence as entranced. Selected people have the competency to partic.i.p.ate in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. There will be many geniuses from Ancient Holy Clans."

"Of course. There are so many strong cultivators in G.o.dly Clouds City, you can"t underestimate any of them. If only one group had selected candidates, it wouldn"t have worked. If you go to the different groups, they can either recommend you or not. Many people will be eliminated."

"Yes, but those who aren"t chosen by Shrines aren"t happy!" someone smiled.

"Are you talking about the DevMara Thunder Clan?" asked someone.

"Of course. The DevMara Thunder Clan is really strong. They"ve always been a powerful group of the Eastern Town. They"re incredibly strong. However, they weren"t chosen by the Shrine, so they are disappointed."

"A clan which relies on physical strength can"t succeed. They were not taken into consideration, that"s normal," someone said coldly. Many people giggled, but they didn"t contradict him. People from the DevMara Thunder Clan had a terrifying physical strength.

There was a crunching sound, startling everyone. They turned around and saw someone wearing a black cloak. He looked furious and released a mighty Qi which filled the air.

"Really insolent!" said that person coldly, “The Destiny Shrine chose people as they wished, it doesn"t mean clans they haven"t chosen aren"t strong enough! If you dare talk nonsense here again, don"t blame me for not being polite!"

His bones and muscles emitted crackling sounds. He kicked a table, which instantly exploded into dust.

"He"s from the DevMara Thunder Clan!" The crowd frowned. Those who had just talked up felt chills. They didn"t dare say anything anymore. The DevMara Thunder Clan was too powerful.

"What? It"s forbidden to talk here? said someone else at that moment. He looked b.e.s.t.i.a.l and ice-cold, and still had his gla.s.s in his hand.

It"s the one who just criticized the DevMara Thunder Clan!, thought the crowd. The person from the DevMara Thunder Clan looked at him and said coldly, “Which animal clan has such insolent little beasts?"

"Beast?" The crowd looked at the young person. The man put his gla.s.s down. He actually did look like a beast.

"Show me how physically strong the members of the DevMara Thunder Clan are!" said that man as he stood up. The young person of the DevMara Thunder Clan jumped forward, the air thickened as he shouted loudly. Terrifying Kalpa lights shone out. Black arcs of electricity moved towards the animal at full speed, like millions of snakes.

"What a powerful Qi, that"s an aggressive skill!"

An armor made of scales appeared around the b.e.s.t.i.a.l young man. He looked ferocious, and his physical strength was incredible. He was a dragon-rhinoceros!

The two fighters collided, their energies blotting out the sky. People were talking about battles just before, they hadn"t thought they"d see one so quickly. Lin Feng was quietly astonished. He looked up at the sky and saw dazzling Kalpa lights.

"Kalpa Indestructible DevMara Skill." Lin Feng"s eyes twinkled. The DevMara Thunder Clan practiced the same skill as him, or more precisely, the skill he was studying probably came from that clan!

Chapter 2135: Agitation

Lin Feng watched the battle. He realized that the cultivator of the DevMara Thunder Clan practiced the Kalpa Indestructible DevMara Skill and had mastered it better than him. Even though he practiced the skill, he only had a part of it. At the Di Qi layer, he wouldn"t be able to practice it any more. He also rarely relied on skills to fight. He relied on skills to level up, and to improve his strength and soul strength.

But the cultivator of the DevMara Thunder Clan was different. He had an advanced knowledge and understanding of the Kalpa Indestructible DevMara skill. There were many details Lin Feng didn"t know about. That guy also used several special powers and special sorts of strength from the skill. After all, the DevMara Thunder Clan was the clan who had created the Kalpa Indestructible DevMara, and Lin Feng couldn"t compete with them. Of course, Lin Feng didn"t rely on skills that much.

The b.e.s.t.i.a.l-looking young man was also terrifying. His physical strength was also great, so he didn"t fear his opponent. Their battle made the earth and sky tremble. It drew many people"s attention, who rushed over to spectate.

"It"s a member of the DevMara Thunder Clan against a member of the Rhinoceros Head Clan!" Many people recognized the two fighters. The DevMara Thunder Clan was a clan from the Eastern Town in G.o.dly Clouds City, they were very famous here. The Rhinoceros Head Clan"s members were mixed, they had human and animal characteristics. They were brutal and extremely strong.

"Everybody says that the members of the DevMara Thunder Clan have an incredible physical strength, but I don"t think they"re as strong as people think," whispered someone. Many people turned their heads and looked at the one who had just talked. He was young and wearing fine clothes.

"It"s them. They like to talk idly about important matters," someone snorted in amus.e.m.e.nt. Everybody recognized that young man.

Pellet Kings Clan, those people are extremely strong alchemists, but a short time ago, one of their members lost. Now they want to regain face, thought the crowd. Many people were talking about them in the Eastern Town of G.o.dly Clouds City. The Pellet Kings Clan was a king clan and didn"t like losing face. So they had to provoke, battle, and regain face.

The Pellet Kings Clan"s leaders might not even care about young people"s battles, but their young people were proud and couldn"t accept their defeat.

When Lin Feng heard those people, he understood those young people from the Pellet Kings Clan, he immediately had one thought. Mu Chen"s soul wasn"t completely healed. Saint Qin Shan also needed an incredible remedy to recover. Perhaps that clan could help him…

However, to obtain medicine from the Pellet Kings Clan wouldn"t be easy. If an ordinary person tried to get close to them, they would probably think that person was trying to take advantage of them and their resources.

The battle was getting more and more explosive. The cultivator of the DevMara Thunder Clan was surrounded by DevMara Kalpa lights, terrifying Kalpa lights descended from the sky unceasingly and invigorated him. He borrowed the strength of the Kalpa lights to fight. He seemed to be becoming stronger and stronger.

That"s how terrifying the Kalpa Indestructible DevMara skill can get when you have the full set, thought Lin Feng. He didn"t have the full set, he just had a part of it. But he had still benefited a lot from it.

The young man of the Rhinoceros Head Clan was extremely strong, but in the end he lost: he was smashed away and coughed up blood. He looked at his opponent and said, “Next time, we"ll have the opportunity to fight again."

Furious, he left the place.

The crowd looked at the young man of the DevMara Thunder Clan, many people"s eyes filled with admiration. He was extremely strong. No wonder everybody admired their clan. Their Demon Skills were impressive.

At that moment, the young man looked at the members of the Pellet Kings Clan and smiled icily, “Losers dare talk about me? Ridiculous!"

"Is that so? You have a powerful physical body, so what? You don"t know spells!" said a young man of the Pellet Kings Clan, stepping forwards. Everybody was excited. This young man from the Pellet Kings Clan had the strength of the top of the Huang Qi layer and was considered extremely strong within his own clan, his name was w.a.n.g Sheng.

"w.a.n.g Sheng, you want to fight against me to regain your face? Why don"t you go and find Lei Dong Tian?" said the young man of the DevMara Thunder Clan. He knew that this cultivator was extremely strong, he was one of the best young people of the Pellet Kings Clan. Even his physical strength was impressive.

"I will when I have the opportunity. Regarding the defeat last time, it was just an accident. If I had been there, we wouldn"t have lost, especially against someone from Red Clouds," said w.a.n.g Sheng indifferently. Then, he waved his hand and fire appeared. The air around him turned scorching hot, his arm turned into flames, and there were fissures on his skin. He looked quite daunting.

"Besides, I will use physical strength, not fire or pellet techniques, so for someone like you, fighting against me using physical strength should be easy!" w.a.n.g Sheng smiled.

Now that he had said that, the young man of the DevMara Thunder Clan couldn"t refuse anymore. He said coldly, “Alright, we"ll try."

He chopped down and DevMara Kalpa strength descended from the sky and struck his arm. His arm became black, filled with demon lights. Some DevMara Kalpa lightnings also struck him unceasingly. Crackling and sizzling sounds spread in the air.

"I"m going to attack." w.a.n.g Sheng turned into a beam of light, looking like a shooting star. Some people felt like they were hallucinating. Fireb.a.l.l.s crashed onto the strong cultivator from the DevMara Thunder Clan, and he punched them away.

The cultivator of the DevMara Thunder Clan was forced away and pulled a long face. His arm, and especially his fist, felt extremely sore. Some strength had even penetrated into his arm.

"That"s not physical strength, that"s just trickery!" said someone at that moment. Lin Feng turned around and saw two men and two women. They looked furious.

"Why?" Lin Feng smiled and asked those people.

"He said he"d use physical strength, but he secretly used fire energy. alchemists control Fire Dao, it"s extremely strong. Using physical strength against them is dangerous, and it"s easy to get injured," explained a young man coldly. He didn"t whisper, everybody could hear him.

The group"s white clothes fluttered in the wind. They looked extremely strong and extraordinary, inherently n.o.ble. They didn"t look like ordinary people at all. They wouldn"t dare talk that way if it were the case, anyway.

As expected, w.a.n.g Sheng looked at them and said, “It"s them!"

The young people of the Pellet Kings Clan stepped forwards at the same time and released an ice-cold energy.

"So what? You want to try again and compare our medical competences? Last time, you lost, and now you challenged someone and said you"d use physical strength, but in the end you didn"t," The four of them stepped forwards fearlessly and Qi filled the air. They were probably from the same clan as the one who had defeated the young man of the Pellet Kings Clan the previous time.

"Since you like to resort to trickery, let"s resort to trickery. We can compare ourselves in term of medical concoctions, but before that, let"s compare our strength, you can also resort to trickery!" sneered w.a.n.g Sheng proud and arrogant. Flames suddenly appeared all around him, they looked like dazzling dragons.

"If you want to fight, then fight." All of the  people looked proud and arrogant. They all released fire.

"There"s a different kind of Qi in their fire. w.a.n.g Sheng"s fire contains absorbing and piercing strength. Those people"s fire is explosive, brutal, and soft at the same time. The cultivation world can be very strange sometimes. Even alchemists have different types of fire, their fire is condensed and contains hidden strength," murmured Lin Feng.

w.a.n.g Sheng frowned and looked at those four people, then smiled and said, “No rush. Let"s agree on a time, same place as last time, and then we can fight, what do you think?"

The four people smiled coldly. One of them said indifferently, “You want to fight and get your revenge, we accept! We"ll see how strong the Pellet Kings Clan is!"

"You"ll see. Since I chose the location, you can choose the time!" said w.a.n.g Sheng.

"In three days!" replied the people from Red Clouds directly.

"Alright, I"ll wait for you there," w.a.n.g Sheng said icily. His jade green eyes looked at Lin Feng, or more precisely, at Lin Feng"s fire lion.

"Your Excellency, what would you like to trade for your fire beast?" w.a.n.g Sheng asked calmly. That fire lion was a Great Imperial Beast, a fire-type beast!

The fire lion roared angrily, looking at Lin Feng. He was a Great Imperial Beast, he understood what those people wanted.

"He"s my friend. He doesn"t want to leave me," said Lin Feng smiled.

"Think about it, any price." said w.a.n.g Sheng.

"No need. I don"t want to exchange him," said Lin Feng petting his fire lion"s head. He didn"t want to trade away the lion.

"Are you sure?" asked w.a.n.g Sheng insistently. Flames appeared in his hands and he started playing with them.

Lin Feng realized that w.a.n.g Sheng wasn"t very friendly. He said indifferently, “You talk a lot, don"t you?"

w.a.n.g Sheng was stunned and then smiled coolly. “Sorry for annoying you, Your Excellency."

He smiled at Lin Feng again, waved and left with his friends.

Chapter 2136: Traveling Together

Lin Feng watched those people leave and smiled indifferently. The members of the Pellet Kings Clan weren"t easy to talk to, especially since they were furious because of that previous defeat. But most people were probably like that in G.o.dly Clouds City.

The strong cultivators from Red Clouds were also proud and arrogant but they didn"t provoke people first. They weren"t at home, after all.

The strong cultivator of the DevMara Thunder Clan hadn"t left yet. A young man from Red Clouds looked at him and said, “Your Excellency, don"t worry, that guy resorted to trickery and used hidden fire. It"s normal if you"re injured. In terms of pure physical strength, you are much better."

"Yes, I understand. But be careful too. w.a.n.g Sheng is sly. It won"t be easy in three days," replied the cultivator of the DevMara Thunder Clan. The young people from Red Clouds nodded. The one who had just talked smiled happily and said, “Even though the Pellet Kings Clan is based in G.o.dly Clouds City, we are also descendants of medical kings. We don"t fear them. Since we won against them once, we can win twice."

The Thunder Clan cultivator nodded and looked at Lin Feng, “You just refused to trade your beast with w.a.n.g Sheng. Even though he said nothing, you have to be careful. He will probably dispatch people to steal it from you. He loves fire beasts. After all, he could use a fire-type Great Imperial Beast to modify its fire and use it himself."

"Thank you for warning me," Lin Feng replied politely.

Those people from Red Clouds looked at Lin Feng and smiled. “Your Excellency, are you a foreigner, too?"

Lin Feng nodded, “I"m from the Dark Night Region."

"Great, we"ve already been recommended to an Ancient Holy Clan. If you want to take part in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, you can come with us!" said the leader of the group with an open smile.

When Lin Feng heard that, he understood what the other  meant and smiled too. He didn"t refuse. Finding a place to stay was a good thing. He could also inform his fellow disciples. Being recommended to a place was great too. And these people seemed nice. Staying with other people was a good idea considering some people could attack him anytime…

"Great, I"d love to," Lin Feng agreed.

"Alright, let"s go then!" that man grinned. The five of them left together.

"My name is Ru Feng, what"s your name?" the leader of the group asked.

"Lin Feng."

"My name is Ru Yun."

"Zi Ling."

"My name is Yao Yao." The youngest woman of the group kept staring at Lin Feng and grinning. Actually, she kept looking at Lin Feng"s fire lion, her beautiful eyes were twinkling as she said, “I want to steal your fire lion too, his fire makes the atmosphere so cozy. Brother Lin Feng, your clan is so nice to you, they gave you a cute Great Imperial Beast."

Lin Feng realized how nice and easy-going these people were.

"If you like him, you can have him, no problem!" Lin Feng smiled. He had captured this Great Imperial Beast to travel. w.a.n.g Sheng wanted him to kill him and use his fire, Yao Yao was different so Lin Feng didn"t mind giving him to her.

Yao Yao"s eyes twinkled. She looked at Lin Feng and said, “Nah, it"s alright. w.a.n.g Sheng wanted to trade for him, but you refused, why could I have him?"

"Haha, what a nice little girl," Lin Feng grinned.

"Am I little?" shot back Yao Yao, sticking her tongue out. Lin Feng laughed. Ru Feng and Ru Yun smiled wryly. Their little female fellow disciple had a good temper, and they all liked her. She was their teacher"s only daughter, too. She was nice and well educated, otherwise, their teacher wouldn"t have let her come to G.o.dly Clouds City.

"Who"s watching us? No need to hide!" said Ru Feng at that moment. In the sky, a few people had appeared. They had been watching Lin Feng and the others with their G.o.dly awareness, therefore Lin Feng and the others quickly noticed their presence. Of course, those people initially didn"t intend to hide.

"Things happen quickly in G.o.dly Clouds City. Who are you, which clans are you from?" asked Ru Yun, he grunted coldly and stepped forwards. His robe fluttered even though there was no wind.

However, those people were looking at Lin Feng. They glanced at Ru Feng and Ru Yun in a cold and detached way and said, “This has nothing to do with you. Don"t forget the challenge in three days."

"People from the Pellet Kings Clan. You want to steal people"s possessions that much?" When Ru Feng heard that person, he understood what he wanted.

That person grunted coldly but didn"t even look at Ru Feng. He stared at Lin Feng and said, “We"ll give you a level three Great Imperial Weapon, and you give us the fire lion. That"s easy and fair, what do you think?"

Lin Feng frowned. The young man from the DevMara Thunder Clan was right. w.a.n.g Sheng wanted to cause trouble!

"Does w.a.n.g Sheng not understand our language?" said Lin Feng indifferently. Those people looked at him with murder in their eyes. Qi filled the air. Those people were all great emperors. The people from Red Clouds were extremely strong, and the fire lion was a Great Imperial Beast, the Pellet Kings Clan couldn"t possibly send emperors to do this.

"Really insolent. Since it"s that way, let"s take it ourselves!" the man speaking  smiled coldly. Ru Feng and Ru Yun released fire energies towards those people. Their fire was daunting!

"Brother Lin Feng, get behind me." said Yao Yao, jumping forwards. She also released fire into the air. Her fire was strange and magnificent.

"How could I let a little girl protect me?" Lin Feng shrugged and stepped forwards. He landed next to Ru Feng and Ru Yun and said, “If you attack them with your fire, can you destroy them?"

Ru Feng and Ru Yun were surprised. If their fire did reach those great emperors, they were going to die indeed. They were from a clan of alchemists, their fire strength was terrifying, and they also had a fire-type Dao.

"Naturally!" Ru Feng nodded, “If our attack reaches them, they"ll die, yes."

"Alright, I"ll release wind cosmic energies," whispered Lin Feng. Ru Feng and Ru Yun didn"t mind. A terrifying hurricane started roaring. Their robes were flapping in the wind, and their speed accelerated. Empty s.p.a.ce wind strength and their energies fused together. They frowned. What a powerful wind cosmic energy! Even the great emperors were surprised!

At the same time, golden empty s.p.a.ce wind energies appeared up in the sky.

The great emperors were startled and glanced at one another. Two great emperors shot forwards at the same time, and as they did, an invisible and intangible Dao strength filled the air and moved towards Lin Feng.

"Get ready to attack!" shouted Lin Feng. Then, his G.o.dly awareness glittered. At the same time, golden cosmic energies started intertwining. At the same time, Ru Feng and Ru Yun moved faster than the eye.

"Constriction!" shouted Lin Feng loudly. In a flash, an empty s.p.a.ce hurricane surrounded the two great emperors and constricted them. They both raised their hands to break the deployment spell. At the same time, they started forwards and dazzling fire lights glittered.

"Die!" shouted Lin Feng coldly. The two cultivators" faces stiffened. A terrifying sword strength lunged towards them from behind at that moment… no, two gigantic golden swords! Their expressions changed…

Ru Feng and Ru Yun jumped forwards and broke their attacks, and at the same time, the two cultivators accelerated and drew closer to them.

"Explode!" shouted the two cultivators loudly. Their fireb.a.l.l.s exploded, and the two golden swords broke apart. However, more whistling sounds spread in the sky.

"Deployment spell!" The two cultivators" faces stiffened. That deployment spell wasn"t extremely powerful, and couldn"t pose a threat to them, but Ru Feng and Ru Yun oppressed them. Their fireb.a.l.l.s could destroy them!

One of them pointed at Ru Feng and a fireball shot towards him. At the same time, the other stretched out his arm and the atmosphere started burning.

"Die!" Lin Feng smiled coldly. In a flash, a death sword moved towards the two great emperors. It was his Nihility Sword, a deadly sword. At the same time, empty s.p.a.ce deployment lights appeared and evolved. Behind them in the sky, deployment lights started intertwining and blocked their way.

"Help!" shouted one of them. In a flash, the other two great emperors frowned and darted forwards to help.

"Die!" An invisible and intangible death soundwave strength moved towards the first two great emperors and pierced through their eardrums. At the same time, Ru Feng and Ru Yun also arrived, their fireb.a.l.l.s shooting towards the great emperors" heads at full speed.

"p.i.s.s off!" The two cultivators" faces had changed drastically. However, their enemies were faster, especially with the deployment spell and the death sword. They could only fight back, they couldn"t escape.

The two fireb.a.l.l.s turned into two terrifying dragons and destroyed their attacks. The fireb.a.l.l.s even absorbed their souls as they burned away in a flash

Chapter 2137: Groups of Different Levels

"What a powerful fire, I wonder what they used to obtain such a fire." Thought Lin Feng when he saw Ru Feng and Ru Yun"s fire, he was impressed. They could easily burn two great emperors to death. However, their fire didn"t look aggressive and brutal, it was just deadly. Many cultivators had their own secrets, the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry was like that, too. They had their own deployment spells, and the strong cultivators from Red Clouds were like that, also.

The two other great emperors stopped moving. Their faces had turned deathly pale. Two great emperors had just been burned to death. Even though they were guards in the Pellet Kings Clan, they weren"t related to the clan by blood. They weren"t as strong and talented as the direct descendants of the clan, but they were still great emperors from G.o.dly Clouds City, so they were really strong, and now two great emperors had been killed so quickly…

"Go back and inform w.a.n.g Sheng that if he has more sly methods to deal with people, he can wait three days and use them then. I can"t believe he sent a.s.sa.s.sins to steal things, that"s so pitiful!" sneered Ru Feng coldly. The two great emperors glanced at one another, turned around, and left. They had underestimated their enemies" strength. Two great emperors had been killed, and if they continued fighting, they"d die too!

Many people had noticed that battle and sighed. Those people from Red Clouds were real geniuses, no wonder they dared fight against people from the Pellet Kings Clan. They weren"t only strong in terms of medicine, but they were also terrifyingly strong fighters.

Ru Feng and Ru Yun turned around and looked at Lin Feng, not hiding their surprise. “Lin Feng, your deployment spells are so powerful. You can condense cosmic energies to cast deployment spells so quickly, you"re already a Great Scholar!"

Lin Feng"s deployment spells were as advanced as their medical skills. They were already quite strong at their level. Lin Feng wasn"t just from a wealthy and powerful clan, he was also extremely talented. A bright future awaited him as a deployment spell caster!

"Your fire is also very aggressive," Lin Feng returned the compliment. He knew he was already a Great Scholar in terms of deployment spells, but it was nothing exceptional in his eyes.

"I wouldn"t have thought your deployment spells would be so powerful, brother Lin Feng!" Yao Yao grinned. “It seems that we"re going to succeed in the Ye Clan!"

"Yes, Brother Lin Feng"s deployment spells are incredible, he"s a Great Scholar already. He"s also very talented. We can all join hands. However, if we want to become genuine partic.i.p.ants of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, we still need to practice. The Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds takes place every hundred years, there will be many geniuses. Some of them are beasts, but won"t be qualified," Ru Yun told them.

They all needed to make efforts. Many people didn"t have the opportunity to partic.i.p.ate in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, including some people who were considered incredible geniuses. It was normal though. There were geniuses among geniuses!

Besides, w.a.n.g Sheng, these four people, the strong cultivators of the DevMara Thunder Clan, all those people were geniuses, but in G.o.dly Clouds City, were they the best? Not necessarily. Even if they didn"t manage to stand at the top of the flight of stairs, they could stand on the second.

But there were strong cultivators from all regions in G.o.dly Clouds City these days, so many people could stand at the top. Geniuses from the other regions were also the best geniuses in their regions, so how strong were they in comparison to other geniuses in G.o.dly Clouds City?

Ru Yun was confident he was a great alchemist and a great fighter, but he didn"t overestimate himself. He was sure he didn"t have the potential to stand at the very top of the flight of stairs in Red Clouds, so he had even less chances in the other regions of the Continent of the Nine Clouds.

——

Their group left the area quickly.

The Ye Clan was an Ancient Holy Clan in G.o.dly Clouds City. They were a Level Three influential group.

The Shrines had already told everyone who the Level One influential groups were: the four major groups of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. They were at the very top of the Eastern Town, and the Shrines acknowledged them. It meant that those four groups, when they joined hands, were dangerous powers in G.o.dly Clouds City. The Shrines didn"t try to favor anyone, they did things properly. Those four clans could send some people to the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, they had allocated positions. They could also go to the inner city to spectate.

However, numerous people had come to G.o.dly Clouds City from abroad. They couldn"t rely solely on strength to select them, it was too difficult and almost impossible to evaluate. They needed to collaborate with smaller clans to choose people, people who were strong enough could then be evaluated by the four biggest clans. Those smaller clans were the so-called Level Three groups.

The Level Two groups were strong, but the Shrines hadn"t acknowledged them. They didn"t want to belittle themselves and make concessions. The DevMara Thunder Clan and the Pellet Kings Clan belonged to the category of the so-called Level Two groups.

The Ye Clan had many strong cultivators, but many of them had a cultivation level which belonged to the third level; they had few high-level emperors, great emperors, and Celestial Emperors. But why did they need Level Three people and not other emperors? Because if you hadn"t reached that level, a hundred years from now, you couldn"t possibly have the opportunity to join, even geniuses. If someone hadn"t become a high-level emperor at the time of the meeting, then a hundred years later, they had to be Celestial Emperors. Few people became Celestial emperors, and if anyone managed to become a Saint Emperor within a hundred years, they could just go directly to a Shrine.

——

How lively. I"m sure the other Ancient Holy Clans are also as lively, thought Lin Feng when he entered the Ye Clan. There were many strong cultivators present, and their Qi was extraordinary. Among the people who wanted to join the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, none were weaklings.

"Brother Ru Feng, you came back!" exclaimed a young man at that moment. Ru Feng and the others smiled happily to see him. They all looked close.

"Brother Ye, let me introduce you, it"s my new friend Lin Feng. He"s like us, he came here to partic.i.p.ate in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. We recommended him to the Ye Clan," said Ru Feng, smiling at the young man. Then, he looked at Lin Feng and said, “This is Ye Ning from the Ye Clan."

"Since Brother Ru Feng wants to recommend him, I"m sure Brother Lin Feng is trustworthy. But we need to explain a few things to him. No matter who comes to the Ye Clan, they must go through an application process so that we can recommend them to the four biggest groups. We have to be responsible, the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds is very important. Don"t feel offended, Brother Lin Feng."

"Please abide by the rules, Brother Ye," replied Lin Feng with a polite smile. He couldn"t get offended because of the rules. The Ye Clan would be the first step, so he had to go through the application process. Then, he"d have to take the exam of the four clans and if he succeeded, he"d be authorized to partic.i.p.ate in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds.

"Thank you very much for your understanding, Brother Lin!" said Ye Ning, shaking hands with Lin Feng. He grinned and said, “Come, there are more and more geniuses in the Ye Clan these days. They can all gather and talk freely about cultivation. There are people from every region of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, they all have a different understanding of cultivation. Exchanging and learning from one another is very beneficial for all."

"Alright, let"s go!" Ru Feng nodded. Ye Ning took them to a vast place with a martial arts stage. Many people were seated cross-legged in front of it. Ye Ning smiled and told them, “The atmosphere is spectacular when so many geniuses gather around a stage like this."

Lin Feng"s eyes twinkled. He studied all those people seated cross-legged. They all looked extraordinary. Seeing so many strong cultivators around a stage was only possible in G.o.dly Clouds City. There were hundreds of geniuses here. They were talking about cultivation, some of them about things they didn"t agree on. Some people were also standing on the battle stage and fighting. Those who lost naturally left.

"Lin Feng, when the Ye Clan tells us to exchange views on cultivation with others, it means that if we fail, we are eliminated and we can leave," said Ru Feng to Lin Feng telepathically. Lin Feng understood that. So many geniuses were here, all of them ambitious and proud. If they disagreed on something, they could compare themselves, and the losers could leave.

Ru Feng and the others were foreigners. They sat down. Ru Feng talked about fire and medicine. Lin Feng talked about deployment spells, how could they not want to compare themselves?

"Brother Lin Feng, it"s your first day here, have a seat," said Ye Ning smiled. Lin Feng nodded, nature would take its course. Lin Feng sat down somewhere with Ru Feng and the others. Lin Feng"s Great Imperial Beast was seated behind him, calmly and peacefully.

"Cultivators" three energies determine their temper. If their three energies are powerful, they are talented, such people can practice cultivation free from inhibitions and happily. Such people can progress without hindrance. Breaking through is easy for them. If a cultivator"s three energies are not harmonious, if they are distracted, how can they progress? Only people who are talented can fight properly." said someone at that moment slowly. He didn"t talk loudly, but everybody heard him. It was his own view of cultivation.
