Back in the icy small world of the Snow Clan…
An old woman was standing in the snow. Next to her were a few old people.
"What's going on?" asked someone at that moment. Someone appeared next to the old woman. If Lin Feng had been there, he would have recognized that person. It was the man who had taken Meng Qing away from him.
"Listen to them," said the old woman calmly. At that moment, the man looked over at the group of people.
"All the Shrines' members are at the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds," said an old man in the group of people in front of the old woman. The person who had just arrived looked astonished. "It is quite surprising. The Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds takes place every hundred years, one Shrine is in charge, and the others can't get involved."
"Yes, but you probably remember the Shrines' great war a long time ago, though," said the old woman indifferently. The old men frowned nervously. The Shrines' war back in the days had shaken the whole continent. It had been tragic, and many people had died. Entire worlds had disappeared.
Back then, they had still been young. It had been a tragedy for the Snow Clan, too. Three of their kings had died back then. They couldn't forget about it.
"The Fortune Shrine has an incredible Destiny Technique. The other Shrines have nothing like it. However, a short time ago, someone said that their Elder used the Great Destiny Technique," said the old woman calmly. The crowd was astonished to hear about the Great Destiny Technique.
"The Fortune Shrine used the Great Destiny Technique? Why would they tell people about that?" asked that person skeptically.
"I don't know. But the Shrines are fierce. It's not surprising," said the old woman indifferently.
"Indeed. But the fact that the Fortune Shrine used the Great Destiny Technique is intriguing, meaningful, and thought-provoking."
"Maybe it is due to the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. There is news about that kid. All the Shrines arrived at the battle stage of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds."
"Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds?!" whispered that person. "The Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds is going to end soon. I wonder who the Fortune Shrine will recruit!"
"No matter who they choose, we don't need to get involved. We can't compete with the Shrines. We can only watch silently. Let's not waste energy," answered the old woman calmly.
The man nodded. He knew that the Snow Clan couldn't compete with the Shrines. They would need many, many years before being able to compete with the Shrines. Maybe if a peerless cultivator appeared in the Snow Clan, it would help them, like little Zhe Tian…
Everybody gazed into the distance. What was going to happen during the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds? It wasn't going to be ordinary this year. The Great Destiny Technique required lots of energy, only core disciples of the Fortune Shrine had access to such techniques.

Back at the battle stage of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, everybody was staring at the fighters inside. They all had palpitations.
Little Zhe Tian clenched his fists. The young man in front of him had transmitted some news to the Snow Clan. He looked excited, he knew things weren't over.
Behind him, Xue Shen Feng pulled a long face and stared at Lin Feng.
He came in first, how is that possible?, thought Xue Shen Feng. He felt desperate. How could Lin Feng become so strong, so quickly? Back during the Pathfinder Day of the Imperial Ranking List, Lin Feng wasn't that strong. After today, Lin Feng would be famous everywhere in the Continent of the Nine Clouds! Everybody would know he had finished first at the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. People in the Holy City and Champion University would also learn about it!
——
Actually, many people in Godly Clouds City kept using their jade talismans with the full strength of their godly awareness, using telepathy to tell distant people about events.
What a guy, he surprisingly finished first, thought Jing, staring at Lin Feng. She looked over at Qing Feng. Qing Feng was beaming, and looked bewitched. She was happy for Lin Feng!
He's first. He'd definitely be a good match for Qing Feng, thought Jing. She was still staring at Lin Feng. Where did he come from? He had defeated Ni Cang, Hua Qing Feng, Kong Ming… She had been amazed by Lin Feng's speed when he was fighting against Kong Ming, too.
—
Hou Qing Lin, Tian Chi, Ruo Xie, Jun Mo Xi, Lang Ye, Jian Mang, and all the others were happy for Lin Feng. Lin Feng had finished first. It was one more proof in his life, just another milestone.
"From now on, Lin Feng will be known as a splendid and glorious cultivator in Champion University. His name will always be carved at the top of the ranking list. They will make a statue of him. Such a cultivator will be without parallel in the history of Champion University!" said Ruo Xie with a smile.
Best emperor of the Continent of the Nine Clouds! It was incredible. The top three cultivators of the meeting would become kings in the Continent of the Nine Clouds. It was difficult to imagine. How strong would Lin Feng be a hundred years from now?
"I never thought that Brother Lin Feng would be so incredible. Even Brother Ling Huang isn't as strong," said Yao Yao, laughing.
Ru Feng was also astonished. Back then, they were worried when Lin Feng had fought against Wang Jie. Now, they knew that someone like Wang Jie was like an insect in Lin Feng's eyes. They belonged to different worlds!
—
Of course, apart from people who were happy for Lin Feng, there were many people who were furious. The members of the Deva-Mara Thunder Clan all pulled long faces.
Lin Feng had finished first. He was going to become a core disciple of the Fortune Shrine. The Deva-Mara Thunder Clan wouldn't be able to avenge Lei Dong Tian anymore. Would Lin Feng want to take his revenge against them? Probably. So he had to die, as soon as possible!
—
Hua Qing Feng was also staring at Lin Feng. He sighed and thought, "I'm a Confucian and sword cultivator. I control two types of Dao intent. I'm really strong. I was Godly Clouds' First Master. But on the battle stage of the meeting, I ended up sixth. Those people even have Saint's techniques, which they already master at their own level. If your Dao intent isn't at the highest level possible, then you can't pose a threat to those people."
Hua Qing Feng now knew that he needed to study more. Lin Feng's Saint's techniques were terrifying. Kong Ming's strength was also astonishing, an expert in both defense and offense. All the people who had ranked better than him were terrifyingly strong cultivators.
—
The Young Beast Masters, Saint Tianhun, Zhuo Qing, they were all staring at Lin Feng. If Lin Feng joined the Fortune Shrine, he would become even stronger, even faster.
Lin Feng had finished first. He would become a core disciple in the Fortune Shrine. He would have access to all the Saint's Techniques of the Fortune Shrine. In the future, the difference between him and them would keep increasing. If Lin Feng became a member of the Fortune Shrine, they wouldn't be able to kill Lin Feng anymore.
—
In Godly Clouds City, there were people from everywhere in the Continent, so of course there were people from the Dark Night Region as well. There were people from all the dynasties of Qi Tian Holy Town. Some of them were very nervous. Back in the day, they had joined hands to attack Lin Feng by surprise. Would Lin Feng want to get his revenge?
Amongst people from the Dynasties, some people were also smiling broadly… the people from the Holy Spirit Dynasty! Their eyes were twinkling. He was their Holy Dynasty Prince! In the future, his son would become a Holy Emperor in their dynasty! Their future Holy Emperor's father would be a core disciple of the Fortune Shrine! It was incredible. A new era was starting for the Holy Spirit Dynasty!
——-
The Diviner was standing in the air, smiling thinly. Lin Feng had succeeded, he had made it this far. He was the strongest emperor of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. The Destiny Wheel had really rotated because of him. He had guessed right!
The Great Destiny Technique can't predict everything; his destiny is in his own hands, we can't predict the future. The predictions of the Great Destiny Technique don't control his life, thought the Diviner. He was just waiting. Nobody was saying anything. He was waiting for people to recover.
——
After a long time, Prince Wu Qing recovered. Zhou Rong Man came back to his senses. The others finished recovering, too. The Diviner waved his hand and said calmly, "In the name of the Fortune Shrine, I'll announce the rankings officially: Lin Feng, first; Kong Ming, second; Chu Chun Qiu, third; Zhou Rong Man, fourth; Bestial Deployment Spell Caster, fifth; Hua Qing Feng, sixth; Yu Qing, seventh; Jiu Ling Huang, eighth; Prince Wu Qing, ninth; Mara, tenth!"
The crowd stared at the top ten.
However, at that moment, a few silhouettes appeared in the sky, they were wearing black armor and looked like demons. One of them said, "Congratulations everybody for finishing in the top ten."
That voice didn't sound harmonious at all, and he had just interrupted the Diviner. The Diviner was making a public announcement in the name of the Fortune Shrine!
