When the young man moved back after he finished his technique. He had wrapped up the golden crow in star energies and now the space was shaking.
"Bzzz!" A terrifying Qi appeared and the stars broke. Then, everything became chaotic. The golden crow started oppressing the crowd again and swallowing flames. Even though the young man controlled abstruse energies, he still wasn't strong enough yet, so the golden crow broke through it.
"Bzzz!" At that moment, a dazzling jar appeared and fell onto the fire.
"A holy weapon!" the crowd saw the jar which began swallowing a terrifying amount of flames, including the golden crow.
The dazzling jar became red as it filled with fire. The crowd could even see the golden crow inside.
"Come back!" shouted someone furiously and the holy weapon flew back to his owner. A crackling sound spread in the air as the cultivator groaned with pain as the jar broke into pieces. It couldn't contain the golden crow fire either.
Lin Feng's eyes twinkled as other people tried their own techniques, but they weren't strong enough either. Without incredible holy weapons, they couldn't get the golden crow fire.
Lin Feng was silent as he continued to maintained a certain distance between him and the golden crow fire. He sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes, calmly absorbing the flames.
The crowd was surprised by Lin Feng. He was the only one who didn't try to get the fire, maybe it was because he knew that he wasn't strong enough? No matter, practicing cultivation there was a good idea.
Time passed slowly and a sun pattern soon appeared on Lin Feng's body, absorbed sun energies even faster.
Two days passed and in those two days, the strong young man had broken the fire stone he took from the turtle and his fire energies grew even stronger from it. He tried to take the golden crow fire again, but failed. Then, he decided to leave.
There were many other things to do in that place, wasting too much time there wasn't worthwhile.
People gradually left and other people arrived. Some tried to take the golden crow fire, but left when they failed. Only two people were left: Lin Feng who was still sitting cross-legged and practicing cultivation and another person. Once they were alone, he went to Lin Feng, smiled and said, "You are at the top of the Tian Qi layer and you're still practicing cultivation here. Don't you think it's a waste of time?"
Lin Feng opened his eyes, smiled and said, "What about you? Why are you here?"
"I want to see if you can take the fire." said that person, looking for Lin Feng's reaction. Lin Feng looked at him and said, "That's all?"
"Indeed. I'm weak and I can't surpass other people so all I can do is watch. I want to see who will take this fire in the end." said the young man smiling fatuously. He had an ordinary fire robe with flame patterns. He had broken through to the seventh Tian Qi layer and his fate seeds were yellow. Lin Feng wondered how he had made it that far."
"Alright, I'll try then." said Lin Feng smiling and standing up.
"So, I was right, you waited for the other people to leave because you knew how to take the fire all along." said that person, taking a step back.
"I don't know if I can, but I can definitely try." said Lin Feng indifferently. Lin Feng understood that if he didn't try, then that guy wouldn't leave.
Did he really just want to see someone take the fire? Lin Feng didn't believe him in the slightest.
A gigantic cauldron appeared in the air and it diffused pale lights.
"That is… the heavenly nine dragon cauldron!" that person recognized the cauldron.
"Unfortunately it's broken, but it's still a precious treasure from the antiquity, I'm sure you'll get the golden crow fire." said the young man sighing. Lin Feng then had the cauldron surround the fire.
The golden crow fire continued burning in the heavenly nine dragon cauldron and the fire was explosive, but the cauldron didn't break.
"It worked." thought Lin Feng incredulously.
Lin Feng jumped to his heavenly nine dragon cauldron.
"Bzzz!" Energies moved towards Lin Feng from behind. Lin Feng didn't need to turn around to know what was happening, he had already anticipated this reaction.
"Die!" shouted Lin Feng furiously. His Tian Ji Sword sword appeared and it contained purple thunderous energies.
"Slash, slash…" Lin Feng lacerated his opponent's body, however, the opponent had turned into several illusions who all they threw themselves at Lin Feng.
"Come back!" shouted the opponent furiously. He condensed again into one body and released an extremely strong wind to oppress Lin Feng. It was the kind of spell Jiange's people had used when they had originally kidnapped him.
"You want to die!" Lin Feng turned around and took out his halberd. Then he used the wind his opponent released to move even faster!
"Bzzz, bzzz…" They both released terrifying fire energies which filled the entire room. Lin Feng's opponent was releasing fire energies from his sleeves. Then, out of his sleeve, two silhouettes appeared and moved towards Lin Feng.
At the same time, both of those silhouettes rose up in the air. Lin Feng's enemy then pointed to the cauldron and said, "Cosmic Sleeve, come here!"
The cauldron turned around and Lin Feng could barely control it anymore. The cauldron moved towards Lin Feng's enemy and disappeared into his sleeve. Subtle sounds spread in the air as he sealed the cauldron. Then, Lin Feng sensed that he had lost his connection to the cauldron.
At the same time, Lin Feng attacked the two silhouettes, but they moved back to the young man. He smiled and said, "You're not weak, but my fellow disciples aren't that weak. Concerning the cauldron and the golden crow fire, remember me and my two fellow disciples. You might have a chance to get your revenge someday."
Lin Feng looked at that guy's indifferent smile. He didn't look like someone who was evil. That kind of person was dangerous. Especially that his sleeves could hide people, that explained how they had made it that far. His two friends were also quite strong, eighth Tian Qi layer.
"How should I call you guys and where are you from?" said Lin Feng smiling. He remained calm even though he had just lost 2 precious treasures.
"I'm Fu Hei and those two are my two disciples. We come from a fire mountain and are Emperor Yan's disciples. What about you?" asked the guy.
"Lin Feng from Tiantai."
"The first imperial cultivation disciple of Tiantai, you're famous already. Thanks again for today. We're off!" said Fu Hei and then the three of them left.
Lin Feng was intrigued. Fu Hei had stolen things from him and after that, they acted as if they were friends.
Lin Feng didn't chase them, it was useless because he couldn't do anything to them.
He still had to become stronger!
