Lin Feng was extremely strong, he could easily heal ordinary injuries instantly. For injuries which weren't obvious, Mu Yun had some remedies. Together they quickly finished healing everyone. When they left together, people stayed there and watched them leave.
Some were envious and jealous. Mu Yun was like a goddess to them. She was looking at that man with admiration and kindness.
At that moment, they were wondering whether their Priestess Mu Yun was in love with him or not. Was it the reason why she refused to be with anyone else? Because she liked him?!
—
Lin Feng and Mu Yun smiled at one another.
"Lin Feng, since the last time you came to Yao Ye Island, how much have you progressed?" asked Mu Yun, smiling lightly.
"I'm now at the top of the Huang Qi layer," replied Lin Feng easily.
"How fast!" Mu Yun's lips twitched. "Your fighting abilities have always been higher than your cultivation level. I wonder how strong you are now?"
Lin Feng gave a noncommittal reply. He looked at Mu Yun and said, "I'm traveling because I want to become a great emperor now."
"Oh, I'm sure you will succeed!" said Mu Yun confidently. She had faith in Lin Feng. He had achieved so many things in life. Back then, he had destroyed the Celestial Qi Castle!
"Yun, what do you intend to do in the future?" asked Lin Feng smiling.
"What could I do? I'll stay here and leave a peaceful life. That's the best for me!" Mu Yun smiled. Her eyes twinkled. It was difficult to know what she was thinking.
"Your entire life?" Lin Feng asked her.
"Yes, I like it that way. I like the environment here, and I like people here, too," Mu Yun nodded.
"If you're happy here, then it's perfect. I hope you'll always be happy." said Lin Feng.
An old man arrived. When he saw Lin Feng, he was surprised and smiled, "Little Lin Feng! You came to see Little Yun?"
"Uncle Qiu, yes, I came to see Yun," Lin Feng answered politely. This old man was Mu Yun's neighbor. In the past, Lin Feng had lived in their tribe so he knew her neighbors. Back then, they sometimes chatted together.
"Alright, good. You should take her with you. Even though the tribe needs her, she's bored here alone," Uncle Qiu smiled. Lin Feng was surprised, and glanced at Mu Yun.
Mu Yun blushed and said, "Grandpa Qiu, what are you talking about?"
"You tell me!" said Uncle Qiu. "I saw you grow up. I know how you feel. Each time you talk about Little Lin Feng, you seem to be happy, your most beautiful smile appears on your face. You think I don't understand those things?"
"Eh…" Lin Feng's eyes twinkled. Mu Yun blushed even more. She lowered her head and glanced at Lin Feng.
"Yun, I don't want you to leave, but I hope you can go with Little Lin Feng. This little boy is a good boy."
"Please stop…" said Mu Yun, stamping one foot. In the distance, the crowd saw that. As expected, Mu Yun liked him!
"Alright, if you don't want to. I don't know what you think," said Uncle Qiu, shaking his head in exasperation.
Lin Feng looked at Mu Yun, Mu Yun raised her head and said to Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, don't listen to Uncle Qiu. I'm happy in the tribe."
"I understand," said Lin Feng, nodding and sighing. He walked to Mu Yun, put his hands on her cheeks and smiled, "If you need anything, ask me."
"Alright," Mu Yun nodded. She didn't dare look Lin Feng in the eyes.
"I'm off. When I have time, I'll come back and see you," said Lin Feng.
Mu Yun raised her head and stared at him. She looked sad. He had just arrived, was he leaving already? She forced herself to smile and nodded, "Alright, that's a promise."
"That's a promise," Lin Feng nodded. They looked at each other for a few more seconds, Lin Feng took his hands back and turned around. Then, he rose up into the air and disappeared.
Mu Yun looked sad and nostalgic as she stared after him for long minutes.

Lin Feng and Tang You You continued their journey.
Tiantai controlled the nine great celestial castles these days. Qing Di Mountain didn't have much power there anymore. Tiantai had too many contacts: Gold Fire City's Gold Fire Tower, Sword Mountain, Yao Ye Island, the Holy City, and Tiantai's headquarters in the Holy City. Gradually, Tiantai was gaining power and influence everywhere. Tiantai also continued recruited geniuses in Champion University in the Holy City.
Lin Feng didn't stop in on the nine great celestial castles, he just crossed the area. He went to Yao Ye Island, Gold Fire City, and then back to Sword Mountain. Hu Yue and Emperor Shen Yu were back at Yao Ye island.
At Sword Mountain, Lin Feng exchanged views on cultivation with Emperor Wu Tian Jian. Emperor Wu Tian Jian was astonished by his growth.

Lin Feng continued traveling. Time passed, and a year went by. Two years had passed the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds.
Out on a vast sea, Deva-Mara Kalpa strength fell from the sky onto Lin Feng's body. The earth and sky were shaking. Demon dragon-shaped energies appeared in the sky and kept pounding on him.
After nine waves of Kalpa strength, Lin Feng's physical strength had increased again. However, Lin Feng didn't look satisfied. He raised his head and looked thoughtful.
Back when he was at the top of the Zun Qi layer, cosmic energies should have cleansed his body. However, because he had a forbidden body, cosmic energies hadn't come down and he hadn't been able to break through to the Huang Qi layer, even if he could control cosmic energies when he was at the top of the Zun Qi layer.
What was going to happen now? Would he be able to break through to the Di Qi layer? Would the same thing happen again?
The Kalpa Indestructible Deva-Mara Skill was a terrifying technique. It was even great for Saint Emperors, and Lin Feng was only an emperor. Now he had the full version, so there was no reason for him not to break through to the Di Qi layer. However, he hadn't done so yet. His physical strength was incredible and stable. Only his cultivation level didn't follow.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. He didn't understand… what did it mean to have a forbidden body? Back then, he hadn't managed to break through to the Huang Qi layer and now, would he able to break through to the Di Qi layer?
What was he supposed to do to continue progressing on the path of cultivation?
——–
Lin Feng spent two years that way. People slowly forgot about the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. All the cultivators who had participated practiced cultivation in peace and people slowly forgot about them, except Chu Chun Qiu. Chu Chun Qiu was still very famous. Even though he hadn't finished first, he had finished in the top three and according to legends in the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, the Destiny Wheel had rotated because of him.
The Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds was a special place in the continent, it stood at the top. They knew more than most people in the continent. People knew what it meant when the Destiny Wheel rotated.
Chu Chun Qiu was in the Supreme Animal World's Ganges Time, and the Fortune Shrine also acknowledged him. After having gone there, the rumors spread that he had broken through to the Di Qi layer. After that, he fought against a Great Imperial dragon. Two years later, the news spread that Chu Chun Qiu had come out of Ganges Time and that he had won against a genius of the Dragon Clan. He was progressing extremely fast.
Chu Chun Qiu was backed up by the Fortune Shrine and the Supreme Animal World. It proved that he was extremely strong. People were convinced that he was the one who had made the Destiny Wheel rotate.
Apart from Chu Chun Qiu who had his own life, Kong Ming, who had ranked second at the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, was also becoming an astounding cultivator. However, after the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, he had disappeared.
As for Zhou Rong Man, who had ranked fourth, he shook the whole Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Apart from Chu Chun Qiu, the second most famous cultivator was Zhou Rong Man because everywhere where he went, he said to people, "My name is Zhou Rong Man!"
Hua Qing Feng was more discreet. Sometimes, people noticed him in the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. However, according to rumors, his cultivation level hadn't changed, as if he were stuck in the Huang Qi layer. That seemed inconsistent with his past performances…
Regarding the other cultivators of the top hundred, they could travel from and to the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds freely. Many of them preferred traveling around the world to become stronger, however.
Of course, all that news was about the emperors of the Meeting.
However, all those things had nothing to do with Lin Feng anymore. Tang You You was with him and they were traveling around the Dark Night Region. They were getting ready to go to other regions as well. Lin Feng knew what was going on in the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds because he had left a clone there. However, nothing could distract him. He stayed focused.
Even if he hadn't managed to break through to the Di Qi layer, he didn't get nervous, and continued practicing cultivation. People who were strong and tough enough to withstand disasters would see hope and victory. Lin Feng had always been that way, and that wasn't going to change.
