In the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, in the Fortune Shrine…
There were gigantic mountains and waterfalls coming from the sky. They were magnificent and grandiose.
Lin Feng was walking in the Fortune Shrine. Many people looked at him in surprise. They smiled and said, "Brother Lin Feng!"
Lin Feng also replied and smiled back. Even though many things had happened in the Fortune Shrine because of him, he rarely spent time with the others. He only spent time with the Diviner.
"Lin Feng, you're back!" said an old man walking past Lin Feng, and smiling.
"Yes, I'm back," Lin Feng smiled. He didn't recognize anyone, but they all recognized him. Lin Feng slowly walked towards a waterfall. At the top of the waterfall, there was a figure, graceful and elegant. She smiled broadly when she saw him.
"Meng Qing!" said Lin Feng. He flew up in the air and landed next to Meng Qing. He stretched his arms and caressed her wan and sallow face. He smiled gently and said, "Silly girl."
Meng Qing laughed and said nothing. She put her head on Lin Feng's shoulder and her eyes turned red.
"You left for so long, don't do that again," whispered Meng Qing. Lin Feng felt guilty.
He nodded and said, "I will always take you with me in the future."
"You said it," said Meng Qing raising her head and smiled softly.
"Indeed," Lin Feng nodded. They both sat down on a gigantic stone and gazed into the distance. The landscapes were incredible here.
"Any news from Zhe Tian?" asked Lin Feng.
"No. I don't know where he is. He has the same personality as you back in the days."
"Like father, like son," Lin Feng grinned.
"But while you were away all those years, many things happened to the Fortune Shrine. The Continent of the Nine Clouds is now in a state of chaos. More and more Shrines want to fight against the Fortune Shrine, and the Shrines are also starting to fight for supremacy."
"During times of prosperity, people don't really fight over territories that much. But now that the world is in a state of chaos, resources are scarce and influential groups start fighting over territories. All the influential groups want to gain some mysterious worlds or places where there are precious things. They want to use resources for geniuses, so the competition is even more fierce."
Lin Feng understood that. If the Fortune Shrine controlled a city, it meant that the resources in that city also belonged to the Fortune Shrine, and whenever new geniuses appeared in that city, then the Fortune Shrine could also recruit them. When the world was in a state of chaos, it lasted for thousands and thousands of years. The situation couldn't be solved from one day to another, so the Shrines had to do their best.
"So anyway, what I wanted to say is, seven years ago, the Fortune Shrine decided to recruit core disciples every ten years. The core disciples can then all compete, no matter what their cultivation level is. Your friends, Hou Qing Lin, Jun Mo Xi, and someone else came back, they want to try and become core disciples in the Fortune Shrine."
Lin Feng smiled, "You saw Brother Hou and Jun Mo Xi?"
"Yes, they came to see you, but then they found out you weren't here," said Meng Qing nodding.
"How are they doing?" asked Lin Feng.
"Very good. In three years, you'll be able to see them," said Meng Qing smiling.
"Great, in three years then," Lin Feng nodded. He grabbed Meng Qing's hand and said, "Come, I want to take you somewhere."
Meng Qing was curious. They walked towards an ancient palace. They both entered the cultivation room, Lin Feng waved his hand and a praying mat appeared.
"Let's go in." Lin Feng and Meng Qing stepped onto the praying mat, lights flashed and they both disappeared, quickly reappearing in the Starry Sky World, Meng Qing was stupefied when she saw the landscapes. This wasn't Lin Feng's world…
"Where are we?" asked Meng Qing.
"A god's world," Lin Feng smiled. "Meng Qing, I disappeared for a few years because I was stuck in a forbidden territory. You probably know about that. Then, I found the Godly Grave's god's historical remains, this Starry Sky World. This world was created by a god."
"The news that many people came out of the historical remains quickly spread. There are also many strong cultivators from other worlds. Everybody knows about that now. I would never have thought it all happened because you obtained the god's world," answered Meng Qing, smiling sweetly. It meant that the god had chosen Lin Feng as an heir!
"Let's go. There are many places here. I don't even know what to do with all these places," said Lin Feng. Their figures flickered, and they went to a few ancient star palaces. Lin Feng and Meng Qing entered one of them. Dazzling lights surrounded Meng Qing, which made her shiver.
"There are Saint's Weapons everywhere?"
Meng Qing was stunned. There were Saint's Weapons everywhere: blades, spears, swords, halberds, axes, bows and arrows, whips, armors, gourds, rainbow cups… it was incredible, the palace was filled with treasures.
"Those are Saint's Weapons the god obtained back in the days. He practiced cultivation for a very long time, and obtained many Saint's Weapons. The Saint's Weapons in this palace are all the best low-level Saint's Weapons you can find. In the other rooms, you can find medium-level Saint's Weapons, high-level Saint's Weapons, peerless Saint's Weapons, but I can only enter two rooms. I'll take you to the second one," Lin Feng told Meng Qing.
He took her to another room. An incredible energy filled the air there. There were even more Saint's Weapons, all of them dazzling. In the outside world, people would go insane for them, he could only tell Meng Qing about them. He didn't even tell his teachers about them. People were envious; he had given his teachers many things, but not as incredible as these things because he didn't want enemies to kill his teachers to steal their weapons!
"Meng Qing, choose a weapon you want," said Lin Feng, smiling at her. Everything he had in life, he wanted to share with Meng Qing.
Meng Qing and his friends were strong enough, he wanted to help them all become stronger.
"I can't use Saint's Weapons, I'm too weak, so I'll choose one for defense so that you don't need to worry about me," she agreed.
"Alright, choose something to protect your physical body and soul. When you become a Saint, you'll choose some for attacks," he told her. He didn't need Meng Qing to become incredibly strong and reach the clouds, he just wanted her to be safe. He could do the rest himself.
Meng Qing chose a soft armor and a Saint's soul sword. The sword could protect her when someone attacked her soul, so even if a Saint attacked her by surprise, she wouldn't die.
"Don't spoil just me. Give some to the others, too. They're all in your small world, aren't they?" she prodded him.
"I will go and see them; my world is becoming more and more perfect. They like calm and tranquility. This world is dangerous, so I will ask them," said Lin Feng smiling.
"Yes, respect is the most important thing," Meng Qing agreed.
"Let's go. I'll take you to a place perfect to practice cultivation!" said Lin Feng, dragging her along. They soon arrived in a cultivation palace.
"Meng Qing, this place is perfect to study Celestial Dao strength. It's perfect to try and break through to the Sheng Layer. You should practice here for a while," he said to her.
"Alright, but don't worry if I don't manage to break through to the Sheng Layer," said Meng Qing. They both smiled. She started meditating and Lin Feng went to another room. It was good to practice cultivation too, but it was also suitable to practice special Saint's spells, as it helped Saints improve their fighting abilities.
Lin Feng controlled several types of original strength. He wanted to become stronger and increase his fighting abilities. He was a low-level Saint now, and he wanted to have no enemy at the same cultivation level!
