In Tiantai, in the sky above of the sky, two people were sitting in wooden chairs, enjoying the calmness and tranquility around them.
"The situation in Ba Huang Province is becoming more and more chaotic. That's a good thing for us!" said one of them smiling calmly to the other. That old man was Emperor Yu.
"You shouldn't be gloating over people's misfortune, do you think Tiantai could really take over the entire province alone?" asked Emperor Yu laughing. "Tian Long Divine Castle, the Sunset Pavilion, the Imperial Assassin Union, they're all quite strong themselves."
"And we weren't in Xue Yue this time, so getting involved won't be easy." said the person next to Emperor Yu smiling.
"Don't forget that the meeting of the emperors is going to take place soon. Besides, the only geniuses who are rising are Tiantai's: Hou Qing Lin, Ruo Xie, Chi Er, Lin Feng, Qiu Yue Xin, Lin Feng's wife, Meng Qing. Those people all have the potential to become emperors. Even though the other powerful groups aren't as strong as us, they also have many geniuses. We also don't know all of their powerful and talented cultivators, some of them might have not shown themselves yet. For example, there might be some geniuses who broke through to the Zun Qi layer just before the event in Fortune City started, so they didn't go!"
"Indeed, maybe there are some incredible cultivators that we don't know about it, but I'm sure that they'll show themselves soon enough. Besides, isn't Tiantai the same?"
The two people glanced at each other and laughed. An incredible era was starting in the Ba Huang Province. What had happened in Xue Yue had only accelerated the process. From now on, the Ba Huang Province would be a battlefield.
...
While those two people were talking and relaxing, many Tian and Zun level cultivators wanted to use the Tian Xu Teleportation Portal to go to the two small worlds. Both probably had incredible treasures, after all.
The influential imperial groups weren't the only ones who dispatched people. The other influential groups from the small worlds of Ba Huang also dispatched their people. Even if they didn't get any treasures, seeing Empress Xi and the Netherworld Demon Emperor's small worlds would be a great opportunity.
The Wen Clan was facing the entire province now that everybody wanted to use the Tian Xu Teleportation Portal. the Wen Clan couldn't turn it off anymore because if they did, they'd have even more enemies.
Xue Yue's people were growing accustomed to it. They had seen the Netherworld Demon Emperor, they had heard the Nine Netherworlds Demonic Song, what could be more frightening than those things?
Lin Feng was at the periphery of Yangzhou City. He didn't need to go to the Yun Hai mountain range anymore because the Netherworld Demon Emperor's small world had already reached the edge of Yangzhou City. It had was surrounding Empress Xi's small world even.
"Young master, maybe it's a good thing for Xue Yue. From now on, we will become stronger and richer thanks to those two small worlds." said Jian Mu to Lin Feng when he saw him looking pensive. He understood what Lin Feng was thinking.
Lin Feng remained silent and smiled, "You're right, it's a good thing for Xue Yue I am just not open-minded enough. It's as if I hoped that Xue Yue would stay a small and peaceful country forever, but is that what they want?"
"There's no need to follow me anymore. If I need you, I'll break the sword talisman again." said Lin Feng. Then, he left.
Jian Mu and the others didn't refute Lin Feng's words. Their Young master was their ancestor's sword, they weren't so worried about him. In any case of real danger, their ancestor's sword could appear and fight.
Lin Feng went to the small world, but changed his face and Qi beforehand. Tian Long Divine Castle and the Qi Clan were after him, so doing normal things while being hunted wasn't convenient. But, he could come out as black mage once in a while too.
Lin Feng walked in the Netherworld Demon Emperor's small world. Nobody paid any special attention to him. He had just broken through to the eighth Tian Qi layer, so in that small world, he was considered rather weak.
Of course, even though there were many strong cultivators in there, the small world was so big that there was enough space for everyone. Even while glancing around, it was difficult to see anyone. Zun cultivators were sometimes running alone in the sky and then descended to rob things from weaker people.
"A corpse!" Lin Feng arrived in a mountain range in the Netherworld Demon Emperor's small world. There was a pitch-black decaying Qi emanating from a demonic-like mountain. Lin Feng came across a corpse there. It was in a sitting position, its bones were black.
"Not just one!" Lin Feng was surprised to see several corpses. Maybe those people were the Netherworld Demon Emperor's disciples.
That black mountain was probably the place where they used to practice cultivation.
"Many people are looking for treasures here." thought Lin Feng. There were more than a few silhouettes in the surroundings, including a girl in blue clothes. Her cultivation level was low though, she had only broken through to the fifth Tian Qi layer.
She sensed that Lin Feng was looking at her, so she turned around. Lin Feng smiled back at her.
Suddenly, Lin Feng was astonished because he realized he knew that girl. Surprisingly, she was one of the ten strongest young cultivators from the Dragon Mountain Empire: Qing Meng Xin.
"Mister, why do you look at a young girl like me?" said Qing Meng Xin smiling when she saw that Lin Feng was smiling at her.
"Mister?" Lin Feng laughed. Back in the days, Qing Meng Xin and Lin Feng were good friends. They had even participated in the Great Competition of Xue Yu together, but now she was calling him Mister.
"Qing Meng Xin and You You were both from Dragon Mountain, I wonder if Dragon Mountain has news about You You!" thought Lin Feng. He said, "Seeing a little girl looking for treasures in dead bodies, that's a bit unusual!"
"Mister, even though your cultivation level is higher than mine, you don't seem that old. Why are you calling me little girl?" said Qing Meng Xin. "Besides, Mister, you probably know what's going on here. There are many strong cultivators here, so cultivators like us can only stay aside to hunt treasures because our cultivation level is too low."
Lin Feng walked towards Qing Meng Xin and said, "Is that so?"
She smiled and said, "Well, you probably have noticed it too, right?"
"Noticed what?" Lin Feng was being funny on purpose. He didn't think she'd know anything.
"Mister, I'm thinking that the demon emperor who appeared might be practicing cultivation in the mountain range!" said Qing Meng Xin.
"Why?" asked Lin Feng.
"Come with me, Mister." said Qing Meng Xin rising up in the air. Lin Feng followed her.
"Mister, look over there in the horizon, but don't look at the white world, look at the blackness!" said Qing Meng Xin pointing at a distant place.
Lin Feng had only looked at the Netherworld Demon Emperor's small world, he didn't look at Empress Xi's small world. He then realized that there was a kind of black demonic dragon in the distance which had Empress Xi's small world in its arms.
"Mister, isn't that a dragon's vein?" asked Qing Meng Xin smiling. Lin Feng smiled wryly. There were so many strong cultivators there, Lin Feng wouldn't have thought that a weak cultivator like Qing Meng Xin would discover something incredible like a dragon's vein.
