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 passed, 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 passed as Lin Feng studied all sorts of energies. Without him noticing, half a year passed.
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 relationship." 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 Godly 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!
