Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao, and Yue Hongyan remained silent and gathered around Yang Qing when they saw how he was like.
Yang Qing’s lips quivered, but he didn’t utter anything. He raised his head and nodded at Zhu Yi and the others before his emotions gradually settled down.
His gaze returned to the light wheel reflected on the Three Life Stone inside the Yama Imperial Pavilion.
The wheel was still turning in the opposite direction, and a blurry human figure trembled continuously within.
Yang Qing stared at this human shadow affectionately and said nothing. His eyes didn’t shift at all as he stared right at that light shadow.
Lin Feng’s voice rang out from the horizon. “You have to wait a few days for the outcome. Don’t be worried, Yang Qing. You can remain with Wang Lin inside the Spirit Sea over the next few days.”
Both Wang Lin and Yang Qing nodded in acknowledgement. Yang Qing leapt into the sky and towards the Fengdu Necropolis, while Wang Lin pointed with his finger and used his mana to direct his junior brother intot the Yama Imperial Pavilion.
The Tai Yi Holy Man and the others watched on from the void outside the Spirit Sea. They exchanged looks with one another and he said, “He’s not as powerful as the Hades Emperor at his peak, but it seems like he can travel much further than the Hades Emperor ever did in his understanding and manipulation of the art of life and death.”
The Xuan Yi Holy Man glanced at Lin Feng in the Chaos and laughed bitterly. “His disciples are as such, and this one is already superior to the Hades Emperor.”
The Zheng Yi Holy Man turned towards the Tai Yi Holy Man and said, “Tai Yi, you have been wounded by the Hades Emperor before. That Dao wound seems to be…”
The Tai Yi Holy Man closed his eyes and said quietly, “Our ancestor has returned to the Greater World. The Great Void embodies now different meanings from before, and I have definitely benefited from it. However, it’s not that easy to repair this great wound from all those years ago.”
He shook his head and said, “It’s been so many years, and it’s no longer a big deal. Daohan is the one that has to handle this carefully.”
Lin Daohan raised his left hand. His left wrist had been broken off and was no longer there.
His body wasn’t real flesh and blood, but the transformation of his immortal soul. Under normal circumstances, he could still reform his left hand if it was gone.
However, it wasn’t because he didn’t want to, but there was nothing he could do.
Zhu Yi defeated him, and Zhu Yi had blasted through Lin Daohan’s Mantra of the Great Oblivion and his Yin Yang Mantra of the Void amongst his other mantras with one strike of his Dao of the Way. Zhu Yi inflicted a wound on him that was difficult to recover from, and it was similar in nature to the one that the Hades Emperor dealt to the Tai Yi Holy Man all those years ago.
Even though his injury wasn’t as severe as the one the Tai Yi Holy Man had sustained, Lin Daohan couldn’t do much to heal it with his current mastery.
It wasn’t bad enough for him to be drop a level in mastery, but it was hopeless for him to advance before he recovered from his injury. He couldn’t possibly attempt the tribulations before he recovered from his injury, as there was no other possibility other than perishing in the process.
Lin Daohan heaved a sigh and said, “Back in the day when Zhu Yi wanted to sit for the examination, I wanted ahead to test Zhu Yi and his master’s intentions for reputation and influence, so I participated in the examination to block him.”
“Zhu Yi blocked me today, and this is truly how he’s always done things.”
The Zheng Yi Holy Man glanced at Lin Daohan and said, “You used the Nether Plague Divine Light to steal his Yi Daoist Talisman. Perhaps you’ve seen a little of the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ esoteric mantras? Maybe that’s the reason why he did this to you.”
Lin Daohan contemplated momentarily and shook his head. “That’s unlikely. If he’s that particular, I don’t think this is all he would have done to me.”
The Tai Yi Holy Man’s white eyebrows furrowed as he heard this, while the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Xuan Yi Holy Man began to ponder.
The Tai Yi Holy Man opened his mouth after a long while and said, “Daohan, you have to rely on yourself to heal your Dao injury.”
Lin Daohan nodded. When he greeted the Great Void Holy Man before this, he was already aware that the Tai Yi Holy Man and the others wouldn’t interfere.
From their words, the Great Void Holy Man’s return to the Greater World had changed things and the “Great Void” was now complete, while the great Dao’s feedback would be extremely beneficial for him.
Perhaps after a long time, when he was finally beyond this challenging hurdle, his path would become extremely smooth.
This also embodied some benefits he had obtained from the Celestial Sect of Wonders.
“Yi Zi won’t let something like this go so easily, unless he has express permission from the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders,” Lin Daohan shook his head faintly, “But I don’t understand the reasons and the rationale.”
A rare look of doubt and confusion appeared on his face.
The Tai Yi Holy Man, the Zheng Yi Holy Man, and the Xuan Yi Holy Man all grew silent and everybody started to contemplate. Nobody said anything for a long time.
Not even they could see through the series of occurrences that had happened today.
The group of cultivators from the Great Void Sect glanced subconsciously at the Great Void Holy Man, who was sitting cross-legged in the Chaos with a calm look on his face. They had a feeling that if there was anyone that could see through Lin Feng’s intentions, it would be their ancestor, except the logic and reasons were still obscure and blurry to them.
The Tai Yi Holy Man sighed and closed his eyes once more, yet it felt as if his vision shifted once from his ancestor to Lin Feng.
He thought of something, but it was still a little unclear. He had a revelation, that Lin Feng’s prowess was not just at the top of the world, his perception of the world could no longer be estimated with the usual logic and normative frameworks.
The Origin Golden Cup gradually vanished within the Spirit Sea. Lin Feng’s Thunder Dragon Avatar, his Nine Qi Avatar and his Avatar of Ares formed a triangle in the void.
The radiance around their bodies faded away, and their eyes were closed while they sat within the Spirit Sea in silence.
Three dreamy light pillars descended from the sky, and enveloped around Lin Feng’s three avatars.
The Spirit Sea trembled violently, and the crack in the border before everyone started to close up.
Beam after beam of light surged through the heavens above within the Greater World and permeated all the lands.
Nobody knew that was going on. However, they could guess that the contest of the Spirit Sea had been decided at this moment.
Xuan Shang was back in the Greater World, but he was sealed within the Black Sea, and the contest of the Spirit Sea had gradually come to a conclusion. The Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses were finally on its way to peace and equilibrium.
The Supreme Heavenly Mirror returned to Mount Baiyun, and the entire Greater World quivered in response.
The Supreme Heavenly Mirror was finished and back where it was supposed to be. This was something that both the human cultivators and the demon world couldn’t overlook or underestimate.
Emperor Jue was arrested within the Black Sea, but his existence itself was already worth everyone’s attention.
The Hades Tribe hid themselves inside the Obsidian Realm. This middle world was sealed away, and it would be difficult even for the Supreme Heavenly Mirror to seek them out.
Comparatively, the Ancient Ape Demons were in more dire straits. Shen Yuan had been slain by Lin Feng, and both the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Great Void Sect had an almost unassailable advantage against the Ancient Ape Demons. The Lingyuan Mountains descended into worry and anxiety about the future and their adversaries.
For the human world of cultivation, how the relationship between the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Great Void Sect would develop was food for thought.
The Celestial Sect of Wonders were already reigning supreme over the entire world, and what they were going to do next was the focus of everyone’s attention.
Would they maintain their current attitude of neutrality and transcendence, of not interfering with other powers, or would they seek to unite the entire world?
Just when everyone was pondering about this question, the void ripped open above the Kunlun Mountains – Mount Yujing had returned to the Greater World!
The Black Heavenly Treasure Tree’s branches and leaves flickered with seven-colored luster as they swayed in the wind on the summit of the majestic white mountain. Rolling purple energy orbited around, and the black Yin-Yang Sea undulated beneath the mountain.
Eight bridges that resembled rainbows extended outwards from the mountain’s periphery and connected to eight different residences. These eight residences were all distinct from one another in terms of shape and appearance, and every single one came together to protect Mount Yujing at the center.
Everybody in the Grand Celestial World knew that these eight abodes belonged to the eight great disciple of the Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Lin Feng.
The Inferno Precipice, the Heavenly Temple, the Forest Abode, the Blizzard Valley, the Nirvana World, the River Abode, the Wasteland Valley, and the Qingwu Pavilion. These were names of abodes that were already well-known to the entire world.
At this moment, all eight abodes around Mount Yujing suddenly trembled.
Seven rainbows suddenly broke off, and subsequently transformed into seven light beams of different colors and surged off into various directions.
One of them landed at the northern foot of Mount Kunlun, except it was still a distance away from the Yun Peak Mirror Lake.
The place where this light beam arrived at was the old location of one of the small sects within the Kunlun Mountains, the Cloud Water Cave.
A white-jade mountain descended amongst the other mountains, and azure-green Grand Moon Primordial Water circulated around the mountain. Everything was just so deep and tranquil.
The words “Nirvana World” were carved on the cave entrance at the foot of the fountain. This was the abode that belonged to Lin Feng’s fifth disciple, the Yin Yang Holy Priest, Yang Qing.
Seven light beams surged through the void and descended upon the Inferno Emperor City within the Barren Expanses.
Seven colors of fire – pure gold, black, bluish-purple, green, red, milky-white, and a golden radiance that tinged with red and blue colors enveloped the mountains and stones around and hovered above the Inferno Emperor City. This was the Inferno Precipice, and it belonged to Lin Feng’s first disciple, Xiao Yan.
The Wasteland Valley followed along and came upon the Wasteland Residence within the Barren Expanses. The Forest Abode arrived at the Celestial-Defying World, while the Qingwu Pavilion descended into the Pure Yin Sword World, and the River Abode went into the River Abode World.
The remaining two light beams soared through the Divine Lands instead. The Blizzard Valley returned to the foot of Mount Lan of the Arctic State, while the Heavenly Temple settled at the Knowledge Palace outside the Great Zhou Empire’s Tianjing City.
This sudden behavior fell into everyone’s eyes.
Lin Feng’s eight great disciples were officially leaving their master to set up their own establishments.
At this moment, the Celestial Sect of Wonders could be said to be in full bloom and spreading across the entire world.
The human cultivation world had seen similar things before. The Great Void Sect and other powers had created their own establishments before, and these places were handled by their disciples to expand their lineage and to gather prodigies from around the world.
The Celestial Sect of Wonders had reached out with eight different grand establishments, and every single one had to be taken seriously.
Just when everyone was in awe of these events, Lin Feng was standing on Mount Yujing with his hands behind his back. He pointed with his finger, and he conjured the Bell of Destiny with his mana.
The leisurely chimes of the Bell of Destiny could be heard.
Everyone was taken aback as they listened to the chimes.
“Sixty-one, sixty-two, sixty-three, sixty-four…? Sixty-four chimes?!”
The Bell of Destiny stopped chiming, and the people that counted properly all shuddered uncontrollably. “It’s… sixty-four chimes?”
The Celestial Sect of Wonders had created an unambiguous constitution for their bell ceremony, and they announced this constitution to the world, so everyone knew what the unprecedented sixty-four chimes represented.
Yet, it was because of this that everyone was in astonishment.
