# Chapter 1049: Lin Feng's Conspiracy
Xuanyuan Potian stared at Lin Feng's hand, his expression cold. He actually possessed a Sacred Artifact.
Those who could forge Sacred Artifacts must at least have an extremely deep understanding of Sacred Mark power, inscribing the power of Sacred Marks into weapons, granting them the might of Sacred Marks—extremely formidable.
Lin Feng's Celestial Fate Sword could draw upon the power of heaven and earth, even summoning stars, conjuring star shadows in the void that interweaved together, unleashing devastating might.
He himself had once possessed a Sacred Artifact, but it had been destroyed that day in the Dragon Palace by the demon dragon's demonic core. Now, with Lin Feng wielding a Sacred Artifact against him, his momentum was overwhelmingly fierce.
Xuanyuan Potian formed ancient seals with both hands, and instantly a terrifying wave of power erupted forth. His surging bloodline power rolled endlessly, as if ready to battle heaven and shatter earth.
Lin Feng gripped the Celestial Fate Sword, strands of terrifying sword light continuously blooming outward, striking in all directions with boundless might. In that dark void, beams of starlight intertwined, as if forming an indestructible, terrifying divine sword, intent on destroying and annihilating everything.
"ROAR!" Xuanyuan Potian suddenly let out a long howl, and an incredibly violent wave of air blasted toward Lin Feng. In an instant, Lin Feng felt his entire body tremble violently, swaying slightly. Although Xuanyuan Potian's roar wasn't as intense as Yuan Fei's, it still made Lin Feng's qi and blood churn as if about to explode.
"KILL!" At almost the same moment, Xuanyuan Potian roared in fury. Two enormous characters—Xuanyuan—crashed down toward Lin Feng with overwhelming momentum, as if about to descend upon him in an instant.
"HMM!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth, snapped back to clarity, and slashed out with his sword. Stars flickered and died, and a thunderous, terrifying crash shook heaven and earth. The power of destruction spread wildly, surging toward Lin Feng.
"Die!" A golden battle axe appeared at Xuanyuan Potian's brow, slashing toward Lin Feng—it was his divine sense power, incredibly formidable.
"BOOM!" As the terrifying divine sense power shot forth, the golden axe blazed with brilliant golden light, cleaving toward Lin Feng's brow.
"Divine Mind Palace!"
Lin Feng moved his mind, and instantly his terrifying divine sense power erupted forth, manifesting as an intricate, majestic palace, towering and grand, radiating vast might.
"CRACK!"
The terrifying divine sense axe struck the palace, causing it to tremble and shake unsteadily, yet it could not destroy the palace.
"Knowing not the celestial palace above!" Xuanyuan Potian saw Lin Feng's divine sense actually manifest as a palace, and his gaze froze in shock. It was actually a Divine Mind Palace.
"No, this definitely isn't that kind of Divine Mind Palace. It must be an imitation, a simulated Divine Mind Palace." Xuanyuan Potian's expression turned cold. Throughout heaven and earth, only one person had ever condensed divine sense into a palace, unleashing supreme might, giving rise to the words "Knowing not the celestial palace above, what year is this night." That was the legendary prodigy who had shaken the entire Nine Heavens Continent—a monstrous figure like a god. There was no way Lin Feng could have obtained such a terrifying inheritance.
Lin Feng's soul power was formidable; his divine sense power had always been stronger than his cultivation level, surpassing what martial artists at his realm should possess. Combined with the Divine Mind Palace technique he cultivated, he deliberately provoked Xuanyuan Potian to test it. Indeed, the power of the Divine Mind Palace did not disappoint Lin Feng—it was extremely terrifying, and even Xuanyuan Potian could not shake it.
"He actually wanted to use divine sense power to instantly assassinate me." Lin Feng's expression turned cold. The Divine Mind Palace blazed with brilliant light, and the battle axe could not shake it. At the same time, the Celestial Fate Sword in his hand danced, executing the Returning to One Sword Art. In an instant, an incomparably dazzling radiance bloomed forth.
"RETREAT!" Xuanyuan Potian shouted coldly, withdrawing his divine sense in an instant. At the same time, waves of terrifying power blasted toward that sword strike. Light of annihilation bloomed, and everything seemed to be destroyed. Xuanyuan Potian fought while retreating, knocked backward continuously by that sword strike until his figure could no longer be seen. He directly turned and fled.
"Lin Feng, I will eventually cut you down with my own hands." A cold voice rolled through the air.
Lin Feng stared coldly at Xuanyuan Potian's distant figure, his expression icy. "To kill me, you didn't hesitate to join forces with the Shadow Hunters. Xuanyuan Potian, you will become a stepping stone on my path to strength!"
As he spoke, the light faded, and the Celestial Fate Sword in Lin Feng's hand disappeared.
A figure flickered and arrived beside Lin Feng—naturally, it was Qiu Yuexin. Her beautiful eyes gazed at Lin Feng, flickering continuously.
"How many more secrets are you hiding from me?" Qiu Yuexin's eyes sparkled. Another powerful Sacred Artifact as a sword? This guy had far too many tricks up his sleeve.
"With such fine moonlight and scenery, if we were to take the earth as our bed and share a pillow, I would tell you all my secrets." Lin Feng laughed casually, a playful tone in his voice.
"Fine!" Qiu Yuexin's eyes turned seductive as she smiled at Lin Feng, extremely alluring.
"Better not." Lin Feng chuckled awkwardly.
"Lin Feng, is that kid from the Xuanyuan family here again?" At that moment, a rough voice rolled through the air. Then Lin Feng saw a figure flicker over—his loud voice as if afraid others wouldn't hear him. Naturally, it was Yuan Fei.
"Xuanyuan Potian actually colluded with the Shadow Hunters, trying to take my life!" Lin Feng replied, making Yuan Fei's expression darken. He said coldly, "Want me to go kill him?"
"Uh..." Lin Feng was stunned, then smiled bitterly. This guy was truly violent. But only someone like him could so casually talk about going to kill Xuanyuan Potian.
In the Northern Wasteland, who didn't know Xuanyuan Potian? If anyone heard Yuan Fei say this, they might laugh their teeth out.
"No need. He can't kill me either. Xuanyuan Potian's life is mine." Lin Feng's expression turned icy. He would use Xuanyuan Potian as a whetstone. The descendant of Xuanyuan would be both motivation and a stepping stone on his path to becoming a martial arts powerhouse. He would trample over Xuanyuan Potian's corpse to climb the ladder of strength.
"Alright, since you think so, I naturally have no objection." Yuan Fei said loudly. Then his gaze fell on Qiu Yuexin, and he smiled, "Lin Feng, is this your wife? She looks like a demon realm princess. Not bad!"
Lin Feng glanced at Qiu Yuexin, who smiled faintly without saying much. Lin Feng naturally didn't bother to clarify.
"Take this." Lin Feng handed the black-brown meteorite to Yuan Fei.
Yuan Fei took it carelessly, grinning, "The old man likes to gnaw on this stuff, but it's not much use to me. I wonder if there's anything inside."
With that, he put it away. This black-brown meteorite was incredibly hard—even he had no way to deal with it, impossible to break open. Otherwise, given his nature, he would definitely have split it open to see if there was something good hidden inside.
"Yuan Fei, I need a favor." Lin Feng spoke to Yuan Fei.
"Tell me. If I can help, I definitely will." Yuan Fei nodded.
"Help me hunt down Xuanyuan Potian. Don't kill him—just make sure he can't kill anyone. It's best if you injure him, something that takes about a month to recover from." A cold gleam flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. Wasn't Xuanyuan Potian obsessed with face? Because he had lost to Lin Feng in a battle of equal cultivation levels, he would stop at nothing to kill him.
Lin Feng would make Xuanyuan Potian lose all face. If the dignified descendant of the Martial Emperor Xuanyuan ultimately couldn't even become a Martial Emperor's Disciple, let alone the number one Heavenly Martial Disciple—what a ridiculous joke that would be!
Qiu Yuexin was stunned for a moment after hearing Lin Feng's words, then a faint smile appeared on her face. This Lin Feng was trying to utterly ruin Xuanyuan Potian. When Xuanyuan Potian walked out, with everyone's eyes on him, yet he couldn't even become a Martial Emperor's Disciple—that would become a laughingstock throughout the Northern Wasteland.
Moreover, Xuanyuan Potian had already boasted loudly, claiming he would become the number one Heavenly Martial Martial Emperor's Disciple, have the Martial Emperor personally officiate his wedding, and propose to the Yang Clan's daughter, Yang Ziye.
Thinking of this, Qiu Yuexin could almost imagine the scene Xuanyuan Potian would face.
"Heh heh, that's simple. Leave it to me." Yuan Fei grinned. "I'm off now. Which Martial Emperor's Disciple are you? I'll come find you to play in a while."
"Not yet. Stone Emperor and Yu Emperor are recruiting their first batch of Martial Emperor's Disciples. I'm undergoing trials in the Trial Ground." Lin Feng replied.
"I see. I'll find you in a month. Go finish your own business!" With that, Yuan Fei didn't linger. He turned and left directly, going to find Xuanyuan Potian!
