Chapter 1381: Lin Feng’s Arrangements
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
After instructing Zhu Yi and the others, Lin Feng turned his attention to Xiao Yan, Wang Lin, and Shi Tianhao.
“Xiao Yan, continue to remain in the Netherworld Sea for the remaining days and cultivate both Heavenly Catastrophe and the Netherworld Sea. Don’t rush to succeed. Let nature take its course.” Lin Feng said to Xiao Yan, “You can stay out of this trip to the Spirit Sea. Cultivating the Netherworld Sea is your priority.”
Xiao Yan laughed as he heard Lin Feng’s words, “Master, I’ll be very regretful if I don’t participate in this huge matter.”
While he said that, he wore a calm look in his eyes. Evidently, he understood Lin Feng’s concerns and efforts.
Shi Tianhao joked, “Eldest senior, stay back and watch over your family.”
Xiao Yan showed his fist to Shi Tianhao. Lin Feng and the others couldn’t help but laugh as they saw this.
“All these years, you felt someone obstructing you in your quest to cultivate the Netherworld Sea. One of them is Wu Mengqi from the Great Void Sect.” Lin Feng said, “There’s another person. To appease us and the Great Void Sect then, the Emperor of the Dead gave up his influence on the Heavenly Catastrophe and the Netherworld Sea. This gave him the opportunity to seize control of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror.”
“His disciple, the Nether Priest, could also initiate the powers of the Netherworld Sea. However, he lost some of his powers as he revealed himself in the War of the Two Worlds. We can deduce that he was betrayed by his own disciple, Shen Tuze. The other person is likely to be Shen Tuze.”
Lin Feng’s gaze flashed with radiances, “As the Spirit Sea re-opens, I believe that Wu Mengqi and Shen Tuze are likely to act in the Netherworld Sea.”
“If you follow me into the Spirit Sea, they might exploit the opportunity to seize control of the Netherworld Sea and remove the mark that you’ve left over these few years. If you don’t enter the Spirit Sea, they’ll continue to hinder you. It’ll not be peaceful.”
Zhu Yi and Wang Lin were also aroused at this point. Lin Feng continued to speak, “You need to be wary of the Emperor of the Dead. He’s very intelligent and might use this opportunity to interfere. Although he’ll try to conceal himself, I can still roughly see that there are clues binding him to the Nether Priest and Shen Tuze.”
“If I’m not wrong, the Emperor of the Dead has been in ambush these few years. Although he’s critically injured then, he didn’t waste these few years.”
“The battle for the Spirit Sea is his opportunity. He won’t miss out on it. Even without the Secret Spirit Sea Key, he’ll still use this opportunity to do something elsewhere.”
Xiao Yan nodded his head seriously after hearing Lin Feng’s words, “Master, don’t worry. I understand the importance.”
Xuan Li wasn’t going to follow Lin Feng into the Spirit Sea. But since Xiao Yan was Lin Feng’s eldest disciple, he had the responsibility of guarding the entire Divine Lands too. He couldn’t be careless.
Although he had the Heavenly Catastrophe and Netherworld Sea as a guarantee, nothing was truly under control. In addition, the Heavenly Catastrophe treated the Heavenly-Destroying Sword like an enemy. Xuan Li’s fate was the same regardless whether she’s in the Spirit or Netherworld Sea. Once the Netherworld Sea changed, Xiao Yan could only count on himself. His guarantee would then become his restraint.
Lin Feng turned his head to look at Shi Tianhao and said slowly, “Tianhao, you don’t have to rush into the Spirit Sea either. I’ll leave a key for you, but you’ll have to wait in the Divine Lands first.”
Shi Tianhao was stunned, while Xiao Yan laughed, “Rascal, stay behind with me.”
Shi Tianhao waved his fist at Xiao Yan and turned serious. He looked at Lin Feng, “Master, have you discovered the whereabouts of my grandfather?”
While Shi Tianhao had remained in the Void Battleground for many years, he still couldn’t find his grandfather.
Lin Feng replied, “That’s right. Although the clues aren’t clear, I can sense that your reunion with him is coming soon. But there’s great danger amidst great fortune. That’s why you need to remain in the Divine Lands when the Spirit Sea re-opens. You can decide after you meet your grandfather.”
Shi Tianhao nodded his head and said, “Yes, Master.”
“Right now, don’t continue to enter the Void Battleground. You might find it harder to find him then.” Lin Feng said, “You’ve rarely returned these few years. In the coming days, you’ll cultivate with the Destiny Kid. It’ll be very beneficial for your cultivation.”
A figure appeared behind him. This figure wore a black and white Dao robe. His eyes contained the traits of an infant, youth, middle-aged person etc. It’s as if time and life had combined.
He was a middle-aged man that was around forty or fifty years. He had a charming look.
Shi Tianhao and the rest recognized that this middle-aged man was the original soul of the destiny-level magic treasure, the Bell of Destiny, which was also Lin Feng’s natal magic treasure.
Lin Feng said, “Tianhao, your mantras are related to the birth and changes in the universe. You can cultivate alongside destiny.”
Shi Tianhao nodded his head and answered, “I understand.”
The middle-aged man smiled at Shi Tianhao and bowed towards him, “Please advise me.”
Shi Tianhao was already familiar with him many years back. He also smiled as he bowed, “Please advise me too.”
“He’s following me into the Spirit Sea. But before that, how much the both of you’ll achieve will depend on yourselves.” Lin Feng laughed as he said. He waved his hands and said, “Quick, go.”
After instructing Shi Tianhao, Lin Feng looked at Wang Lin, “Wang Lin, how’s it going for you?”
Wang Lin revealed a smile on his face and answered, “I’ve had some progress. But I need to continue figuring it out.”
His eyes surged with radiances. They weren’t blinding, but terrifying to look at.
Wang Lin’s aura started to change. His energy started to surge. Although he was as domineering as Shi Tianhao’s Huangshen Body, it was still a petrifying sight.
He was seated facing Lin Feng just like Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, and the others.
As compared to the Huangshen Body that unleashed a brutal and violent aura like a huge savage beast, Wang Lin revealed a ferocious and merciless aura.
However, the only abnormality was that Wang Lin’s hands and right leg appeared normal and didn’t release any shocking power.
The surge of his energy was mainly concentrated around his head, backbone and left leg. It gave off a very weird feeling as if his hands and right leg weren’t real.
Lin Feng smiled as he saw this. He nodded his head, “Oh, not bad. Great. With your speed of progression, you can still improve further before the Spirit Sea re-opens.”
Wang Lin answered, “I don’t dare to relax. I’ll work even harder.”
Lin Feng looked at Yue Hongyan, Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu. Finally, he looked at Li Yuanfang and said, “When the Spirit Sea re-opens, my avatar will tag along. Yuanfang, you shall stay here to guard the Ying Sea in case anyone tries to sneak in.
“If anything serious happens and you need to retreat everyone into the Ying Sea, you’ll be in charge of doing so.”
Li Yuanfang nodded his head seriously, “I understand.”
One couldn’t harbor thoughts of harming others, but one couldn’t do without a wary mind either. The Celestial Sect of Wonders wouldn’t reject the other sects if they needed to retreat into the Ying Sea to seek refuge, but if anyone dared to exploit the opportunity to cause trouble, Li Yuanfang was given the authority to act according to the situation.
He was a very upright person and wanted everything to be done appropriately. Everything had to follow order, but he wasn’t a hesitant person. If he needed to be strict, he never went soft.
Lin Feng then turned his attention to Yang Qing. He smiled, “Yang Qing, after the battle at Mount Shu ended, I once said that you might have a chance of meeting your lover after a hundred years.”
Yang Qing’s breathing stopped a little. He lifted his head to look at Lin Feng but didn’t say anything. It’s as if he was afraid of waking up from a nightmare.
Lin Feng smiled and nodded his head, “The opportunity I mentioned then referred to the re-opening of the Spirit Sea.”
“The Spirit Sea is a world filled with spiritual energy. It’s where the Great Dao is revealed, and life is created. It’s the most possible place that your lover will resurrect.”
“I estimated that the Spirit Sea will re-open a hundred years after the battle at Mount Shu. But changes happened, and the day has been brought forward.” Lin Feng smiled, “But this is a good thing for you.”
Yang Qing took in a deep breath and muttered, “Spirit Sea, Tingting…”
He regained his awareness and bowed towards Lin Feng. Although he didn’t speak, his silence revealed his intention.
Lin Feng continued saying, “You must also keep a calm state of mind. It’s not an easy thing to control the Spirit Sea. It’s still an uncertainty whether the both of you can reunite.”
Yang Qing stood up and said softly, “Master, I understand. Even if it’s only a glimmer of hope, I’m satisfied.”
Lin Feng nodded slightly, “Continue to work hard in your cultivation. You, Hongyan, your second senior and third senior will follow me into the Spirit Sea”
Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing both nodded their heads, “Yes Master.”
Lin Feng turned to Luo Qingwu, “Qingwu, stay with Yuanfang. He’ll hold the fort in the Ying Sea while you’ll remain in the Divine Lands.”
Luo Qingwu replied, “Yes, Master. I understand.”
Lin Feng said, “Besides what’s about to happen in the Divine Lands, I’ll need you to monitor something for me.”
