# Chapter 1176: Beauty Lineup
"This is your final opportunity in the City of Fate. After this, I will prophesy your destinies!" The ethereal old man spoke once more, then his body gradually faded and vanished into nothingness.
"Ten bridges, connecting to ten wondrous scenes. There's the Spring of Life, the Nether River, the Great Dao of Illusion, the Mountains and Rivers Scroll... Which bridge do you wish to take?" Yuan Fei looked at the ten newly formed bridges and asked. Those wondrous scenes were related to the profound meanings they cultivated.
"Although the ten bridges each connect to a separate wondrous scene, they are actually interconnected, converging beneath the entire region of wondrous scenes. It's likely that those on the ten bridges will eventually clash." By now, Lin Feng had already stood up, his gaze sharp. At the periphery of those wondrous scenes, the power of the five elements continuously bombarded the area. The five elements were the foundation of all things; no matter which bridge one stepped onto, they would experience them.
Apart from the power of the five elements, there was also lightning. Wild bolts of heavenly thunder raged from the nine heavens, their intensity increasing as one ascended the bridges. In the latter half, they became like world-destroying divine thunder from the nine heavens.
"I choose the bridge where the Spring of Life is located." Lin Feng pointed into the distance. The Spring of Life suspended in the void looked like a flowing water scroll, with a bridge cascading down from it. Lin Feng chose this bridge, his ambition lying in the Essence of Life. This was his deep-seated cherishing of life. If he could comprehend the Essence of Life, he might even obtain a pool of the Spring of Life. In the future, whether he or his loved ones were injured, he wouldn't have to lament to the heavens in vain.
Before reaching the peak, no matter how monstrous your talent, there would always be those stronger than you. Nothing would go smoothly. The same applied to those around him. So even if not for himself, he had to comprehend this miraculous Essence of Life. It was a must.
As for Meng Qing, there was no need to mention it. Whichever bridge Lin Feng chose, she would follow.
"That's fine. These ten bridges will indeed converge, and there's nothing here I particularly like. I'll also take the bridge corresponding to the Spring of Life." Yuan Fei nodded slightly. "Jun Moxi, Huangfu Long, let's all go together. There's strength in numbers. When it comes time to snatch things, it'll be more convenient. Many of those from the major powers are in groups. Don't let them ambush us."
Now, this area held the most elite experts who had entered the City of Fate. Among them were even the Ten Great Prodigies, as well as second-tier experts like Thunder Demon, who were only slightly weaker than the Ten Great Prodigies and all wanted to take their place. Their strength was terrifying. Even though Yuan Fei possessed heaven-shattering power, he didn't dare consider himself invincible. There were too many experts. If some formidable figures targeted him, he would still end up in a miserable state.
"Alright." Jun Moxi nodded slightly, agreeing with Yuan Fei's words. Traveling the same bridge together would allow them to look out for each other.
Many figures in this space began to flicker, stepping onto the bridges they wished to take.
Lin Feng and the others strode forward, heading straight for the bridge corresponding to the Spring of Life. At the same time, Lin Feng's eyes swept across the other nine bridges, searching for any familiar figures.
"Where did that old bastard run off to?" Lin Feng cursed under his breath. He didn't see Qiongqi. Lin Feng didn't believe that bastard hadn't come in. He must have disguised himself and was preparing to cause trouble. That guy was definitely the type to drag others down without compensation. Lin Feng somewhat hoped he and Fu Hei would end up on the same bridge—that would be entertaining.
Soon, Lin Feng and the others arrived beneath the bridge of the Spring of Life. The pure, flawless bridge was wide enough to accommodate many people simultaneously, connecting to the void.
A faint fragrance wafted over, refreshing the heart and mind, making one feel exceptionally comfortable, as intoxicating as fine wine. Then, Lin Feng once again saw Yiren Lei, one of the Four Great Beauties of the Eight Wastelands.
Yiren Lei had also chosen this bridge.
"What a coincidence!" Yiren Lei turned back with a smile, making it seem as if she were speaking to everyone individually. That smile was enchanting enough to make one's soul sway, as if they would fall for her.
"Impressive. Her charm and illusion techniques are already expressed in every smile, every frown, every movement. She must have mastered the power of profound meaning." Lin Feng thought to himself. As one of the Ten Great Prodigies, she was indeed extraordinary.
"Sister Yi, why aren't you going to the bridge of the Myriad Illusions Realm, but instead coming here?" Xiao Die, who was beside Jun Moxi, smiled lightly at Yiren Lei, appearing close yet maintaining a certain distance.
"Beauty fades, and tears fall. Xiao Die, you should understand. A beautiful face is fleeting, withering like a flower, leaving only empty tears. What use is a beautiful appearance for us women? Time is merciless. If we don't pursue the Great Dao, no matter how beautiful we are, we will eventually wither. I seek the power of life, hoping to keep my youth from decaying."
Yiren Lei's voice was calm, yet it seemed to come from the depths of her heart. If one didn't pursue the Great Dao, no matter how beautiful the face, it would eventually age. Only powerful strength and vigorous life force could keep one's youth eternal, forever preserving that peerless beauty.
"Beauty fades, and tears fall. So that's how Sister Yi's name came to be. No wonder Sister Yi is so powerful—you have such a mindset." Xiao Die praised. Eternal youth was every woman's dream. But how many could be like Yiren Lei, striving to pursue the Great Dao and powerful life force, using action to realize that extravagant dream?
At this moment, the crowd in the distance also noticed the scene here. Yiren Lei was about to step onto the Bridge of Life.
"Yiren Lei is one of the Ten Great Prodigies of the Eight Wastelands, and as beautiful as a celestial maiden. Being with her will definitely be very safe, and we can also feast our eyes on a beauty. Why not?"
"Exactly. Besides Yiren Lei, that icy woman is also so transcendent and refined, like a fairy, no less than any of the Four Great Beauties of the Eight Wastelands. The reason she isn't as captivating as Yiren Lei isn't because she's less beautiful, but because Yiren Lei's cultivation technique makes people unable to resist."
Many people flickered toward the Bridge of Life. With two beauties of the Four Great Beauties level, plus Yuan Fei, this bridge was worth a try.
"Feng Xuan is also here. No, wait, Xue Biyao is here too. What kind of lineup is this?" The crowd squinted their eyes. Three of the Four Great Beauties had come to this bridge, plus Meng Qing by Lin Feng's side. This could easily be called the Four Great Beauties of the Eastern Wastelands, pushing Qi Jiaojiao out.
"Yiren Lei's strength goes without saying—one of the Ten Great Prodigies. Plus the Spirit Immortal Body of Snow Fairy, the Ancient Phoenix Body of the enchantress Feng Xuan, and Yuan Fei. This already ensures that this Bridge of Life won't be weaker than any other bridge. And we can also feast our eyes on the peerless grace of the Four Great Beauties of the Eight Wastelands. Why not?"
More and more people came here, including some formidable figures. Of course, the lineup on the two adjacent bridges was also very strong. Led by Qitian Saint, Qi Jiaojiao, one of the Four Great Beauties of the Eight Wastelands and Qitian Saint's sister, was naturally there, along with Wu Yan and other experts. They pursued the power of space. This lineup was worth anticipating.
On the other side, the main force was demon beasts. The leader wore a golden long robe, his long hair flying, even more arrogant than Thunder Demon, giving off an endless wild feeling. His body seemed cast from gold, entirely golden, dazzling without bound. It was the Demon Peng of the Demon Emperor Hall, the Golden-Winged Great Roc.
Behind the Golden-Winged Great Roc was a terrifying lineup, including the Dark Gold Thunder Roc Thunder Demon, the Wild Bull of Wild Bull Mountain, and other powerful transformed demon beasts. Among them was also Long Teng, the Heavenly Dragon Demon Body of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress, along with other experts.
In the end, the crowd vaguely noticed that each of the ten bridges seemed to have one of the Ten Great Prodigies. They subtly became the leaders, guiding everyone to step onto those void wondrous scenes. This wasn't surprising. None of the Ten Great Prodigies would be willing to submit to others. If they were on the same bridge, a shocking collision would inevitably occur. So each led one bridge alone.
Seeing this, Lin Feng's eyes flickered. The Prophet had laid out ten bridges, dividing the crowd into ten groups. This seemed to contain deep meaning. True experts must stand above their peers. They had to be more outstanding than everyone else of their generation to be more qualified to prove the Dao and become an emperor. If one was willing to submit to others from the bottom of their heart, then in a sense, they had already lost.
To become the most outstanding person, you had to trample on the heads of other geniuses. These ten bridges could determine the most outstanding person on each bridge. Their destinies could then be vaguely glimpsed.
After Feng Xuan and Xue Biyao arrived here, they both inadvertently cast a glance at Lin Feng, making Yuan Fei's smile quite ambiguous. This guy was actually connected to so many beauties.
"Sister, isn't this the one pursuing you? Why is he together with that fairy sister who's as beautiful as you?" Feng Ling said in her sweet voice, causing Feng Xuan and Lin Feng's gazes to freeze simultaneously.
Lin Feng rolled his eyes... When had he ever pursued Feng Xuan?
"Ling'er, don't be ridiculous!" Feng Xuan scolded, at a loss for words with her little sister. She cast an apologetic look at Lin Feng, who could only smile bitterly.
"Oh, right, sister. I heard that someone bullied Sister Biyao a while ago. That person was also called Lin Feng. It couldn't be him, could it?" Feng Ling said with a giggle.
"Cough, cough..." Lin Feng was speechless... Xue Biyao and Feng Xuan were equally speechless.
"Young master truly has good fortune." Even Yiren Lei looked at Lin Feng with a smile, teasing him. This made many people around already hate Lin Feng. Bastard! He was actually involved with four peerless beauties all by himself!
Lin Feng looked at Meng Qing with a bitter face, only to see Meng Qing give him a resentful glare. "Look at all the things you've done!"
Seeing Meng Qing's faint smile, Lin Feng knew she wouldn't get angry over such a small matter. He said lightly, "Shouldn't we be going up?"
By now, people under the other bridges had started ascending the void bridges. Yiren Lei smiled at everyone. "How about we also ascend the bridge?"
With that, the group here began to step onto the void bridge. The storm of the five elements and the power of lightning in the sky above started to churn violently!
PS: I'll make up for the five chapters tomorrow, brothers. If you have flowers, please scatter them. Wuhen thanks you!
