Chapter 2487: Meeting
Edited by RED
What happened had a big impact on Lin Feng’s mood. It took him a while to calm down. What his teacher had told him probably confirmed what he had thought. Everything happened for the Fortune Shrine.
But did the Fortune Shrine do their best to protect him for the Fortune Shrine, too? And now, hadn’t the Fortune Shrine used that opportunity to use him?
Lin Feng still couldn’t understand some things in that world, he didn’t like using people. He had feelings. Even though he had gone through a lot in life and was strong, he still didn’t understand some things, he wasn’t emotionless.
During those days, things changed drastically in the Continent of the Nine Clouds. So many peerless Saints had died, the Wind Shrine’s Leader had died, and the Divine Wrath Shrine had been founded. All those things amazed the whole continent. After that, the Fortune Shrine’s alliance destroyed the Dazzling Gold Shrine, so just like the Celestial Sound Shrine, they had nowhere to go anymore. Things were changing quickly, and the seven Shrines’ alliance wasn’t in the best situation.
Right after the Divine Wrath Shrine was founded, many strong cultivators joined them, and it became incredibly strong. They recruited some disciples. They also hoped that peerless Saints would join them and become senior officials of the Divine Wrath Shrine. They might become extremely strong in the future that way.
However, Lin Feng didn’t think about those things. He practiced cultivation really hard. He was meditating and forgot about worldly affairs. He had managed to fuse three original strengths together and he could make time stop for a second. He wanted to improve his powers and abilities now, so he isolated himself from the outside world.
——
On the way, a few of Lin Feng’s friends came by, so he stopped meditating and met them: Hou Qing Lin, Lang Ye, and Jun Mo Xi. Lin Feng was extremely happy to see them.
“Lin Feng, when we separated last time, we didn’t think you’d become a peerless Saint, and now you’re even able to stop time, and you’ve become a Shrine’s Leader,” Lang Ye smiled. The Divine Wrath Shrine’s Leader was still Lin Feng!
Over five hundred years had passed since he saw them last. Lang Ye had also become stronger. The King of the Ten Thousand Beasts had supported him and he had a king-type body. He had traveled a lot, and he had created many small worlds, been in many mysterious worlds. He was now a high-level Saint.
Hou Qing Lin had also become a high-level Saint. Shortly after the Shrines’ agreement five hundred years before, Hou Qing Lin had become a low-level Saint, then he had continued practicing cultivation really hard and become a high-level Saint.
Against all expectations, Jun Mo Xi was still only a low-level Saint.
“I didn’t think we’d have the opportunity to meet again after all that happened in the Continent of the Nine Clouds,” said Lin Feng smiling and clapping his friends’ shoulders.
“We should have drinks today,” said Lang Ye smiling.
“Yes, we should have drinks today,” Lin Feng agreed cheerfully.
“This time, I prepared some strong alcohol,” Jun Mo Xi grinned. They walked aside. Jun Mo Xi took out many bottles of strong alcohol and threw some of them at his friends.
“Lin Feng, do you remember the first time we met?” Lang Ye asked Lin Feng.
“I remember. I was with Meng Qing and you helped us.”
“Haha, yes! Back then, the World Clan thought Meng Qing was a Forbidden Person. We only learned you were a Forbidden Person when our leader came back.”
“The King of the Ten Thousand Beasts went back to the World Clan only afterwards?” asked Lin Feng. He was curious.
“Yes, he was hiding in one of the World Clan’s worlds. He trained people and also practiced cultivation a lot. In the end, he created a terrifying army, and that’s how the World Clan came back to life,” said Lang Ye sighing. So many years had passed, yet the leader of the World Clan was still determined.
“The King of the Ten Thousand Beasts is patient and proud,” said Lin Feng, nodding and drinking. He looked at Jun Mo Xi and Hou Qing Lin and said, “Mo Xi, back then in Dragon Mountain, we were very young, high-spirited and vigorous. We never thought we would it make this far. We never thought hundreds of years would pass in the twinkling of an eye. And you, brother, back in the days, we were the eleven disciples of Tiantai, we went through so many hardships. We were proud. We dreamed of becoming peerless cultivators. We had to fight against the members of the Tian Long Divine Castle all the time. We even killed their princes, you remember? We weren’t afraid, even though nobody thought we had potential. It feels like a dream.”
Jun Mo Xi and Hou Qing Lin remembered, they felt nostalgic all of a sudden. Sometimes, they missed the good old times; sometimes, they asked themselves what the point of cultivation was. But it didn’t prevent them from persevering and keeping it up.
“Good men miss the good old times and remember their close ones. Someday, Tiantai will tower aloft in the Continent of the Nine Clouds again,” said Hou Qing Lin. His long hair was fluttering in the wind. He still looked natural and unrestrained.
“Alright, with friends, we’re not lonely! Cheers, brothers!” said Jun Mo Xi, raising his glass and then they all drank heartily.
——
Lin Feng had fun drinking with his friends. It was rare to be able to relax like that. They drank all day and all night. They had millions of things to talk about, they were like brothers.
On the next day, two more people came to see Lin Feng. He was extremely happy… they were his sons, Zhe Tian and Qiong Sheng!
Jun Mo Xi, Hou Qing Lin, Lang Ye, Zhe Tian and Qing Lin were all together, they chatted and laughed.
“When the father is a lion, the son cannot be a dog! Lin Feng, you, your son is stronger than me,” said Lang Ye. He couldn’t see Zhe Tian’s cultivation level anymore. Qiong Sheng had already become a high-level Saint, how incredible!
“They were also very lucky, they got a great teacher,” Lin Feng smiled. He knew that Zhe Tian and Qiong Sheng were strong, but if they hadn’t encountered Mister Time, they wouldn’t have become that strong so quickly. Mister Time was a terrifying cultivator!
“But they’re extremely talented anyway,” Lang Ye observed.
Jun Mo Xi said, “I remember you and You You back then during the Great Competition of Xue Yu. Now, so many years have passed, and your son is stronger than I am!”
“Uncle Mo Xi, don’t ridicule me,” Qiong Sheng told Jun Mo Xi.
“You know who I am?”
“Of course, I know you, Uncle Hou Qing Lin and Uncle Lang Ye. My mother told me my dad’s and your stories. I want to be like my father and have such great friends.”
“You know how to talk to people, better than your daddy,” said Jun Mo Xi, laughing happily. Lin Qiong Sheng scratched his head.
“Alright, how come you’re here, boys?” asked Lin Feng.
“Mister Time had us come back. Mister Time said that Zhe Tian could now help you fight. I’m not that strong yet, but I’m sure I’ll be able to fuse two sorts of special original strengths together soon,” said Lin Qiong Sheng, smiling self-consciously.
Zhe Tian exclaimed, “Dad, I can finally help you!”
“You think I’m not good for fighting anymore?” replied Lin Feng, smiling wryly. Then he heard some steps behind him.
“Leader!” shouted someone.
Lin Feng turned around, “What’s wrong?”
“Leader, the elders want us to join the battles. The Fortune Shrine and the Empty Space Shrine have been having some fierce battles recently. Should we join them as well?” The members of the Divine Wrath Shrine knew how strong Lin Feng was. Not only was he strong, but he was also very good in terms of strategy. That’s why they wanted to keep Lin Feng as their Leader.
“Yes, tell all the elders that they can listen to Zi Zhu’s orders. If I want to fight, I’ll intervene,” said Lin Feng.
That person nodded, “Yes, Leader.”
After that, the person walked away. Lin Feng said, “I need to meditate in seclusion some more. What do you all intend to do?”
“Alright, since you need to study, go and practice cultivation in peace. Don’t worry about us,” Hou Qing Lin said to Lin Feng.
“Dad, we’ll be around waiting for you,” said Zhe Tian.
“Alright,” Lin Feng nodded.
He left them, heading to a quiet room and then going into his own world.

Up in the sky, Lin Feng created a pavilion where he could practice cultivation without being disturbed. He could also study his own world there.
In the outside world, five hundred years had passed. In Lin Feng’s world, time initially passed 800% faster and gradually it increased to more than 1000%. Therefore, thousands of years had passed inside. It had already turned into a continent. There were many cities and cultivators everywhere. In Lin Feng’s previous life, five thousand years were long enough for a country to become a civilization with a culture. It was a very, very long time.
Those years, Lin Feng helped his Saints become stronger. He had them do various things to improve his own world, and took them as disciples.
