# Chapter 1245: Heavenly Lake Snow Peak
Passing through the Northern Wasteland and crossing into the Wasteland Sea, Qi Jiaojiao had originally thought Lin Feng would take a warship to traverse the Wasteland Sea. However, to her astonishment, Lin Feng still stood upon the giant sword and charged straight into the Wasteland Sea. The terrifying Primordial Power spread, causing Qi Jiaojiao's heart to tremble with fear. The rolling waves of the Wasteland Sea could swallow her whole.
Qi Jiaojiao's gaze fell upon Lin Feng, yet she saw him sitting calmly on the giant sword. Strands of Primordial Power seemed to seep into his body, devoured by him. This scene was shocking to Qi Jiaojiao. Lin Feng was using the Wasteland Sea to cultivate.
"You should go inside!" Lin Feng's mind moved, and instantly the enormous golden tower appeared on the giant sword. This was Qi Tiansheng's Sacred Artifact treasure tower, now under Lin Feng's control.
"No need!" Qi Jiaojiao said coldly, a hint of stubborn defiance in her eyes.
"I'm going down to skim across the Wasteland Sea. If you're not afraid of death, you can stay out!" Lin Feng said indifferently, causing Qi Jiaojiao's expression to stiffen. Lin Feng was going down into the Wasteland Sea?
"Do you think I'd believe you?" Qi Jiaojiao snorted. The moment her words fell, the giant sword plunged toward the Wasteland Sea, instantly turning her face pale. She rushed into the golden tower, willingly imprisoned by the Sacred Artifact tower. She could not possibly withstand the Primordial Power.
"Chi..." The giant sword submerged into the Wasteland Sea. The massive golden tower still hung above the giant sword. Inside the tower, Qi Jiaojiao could clearly see the outside. Lin Feng had truly fallen into the Wasteland Sea, traveling through it, devouring the Primordial Power.
"Someone can actually devour and cultivate with Primordial Power!" Qi Jiaojiao was utterly shocked, yet felt even more pitiful about herself. In the past, she had only been distinguished by her status. What right did she have to despise Lin Feng? She didn't understand him at all. What right did she have to be arrogant?
Of course, no matter how much she regretted it, it was useless. Because of the enmity between Lin Feng and the Qi Clan, to prevent his family and friends from being harmed by the Qi Clan, Lin Feng could not let her go. Just as Lin Feng himself had said, unless one day he had the qualifications to destroy a Martial Emperor family, only then might he release her.
Witnessing Lin Feng shuttling through the Wasteland Sea with her own eyes, arriving at the distant shore, a land she had never set foot on. The vast and boundless Eight Wastelands Realm — many people would never leave it in their entire lives. For countless people, the stage of the Eight Wastelands was already vast enough. It was simply impossible to set foot in every corner of the Eight Wastelands.
Crossing the Wasteland Sea, the vast and boundless world — castles, wilderness, mountains, rivers, forbidden lands — all flashed before their eyes. Lin Feng sat on the giant sword, his gaze seeming to pierce through the clouds, looking out at this endless, vast land, comprehending the vastness of heaven and earth, feeling the wind and rain, savoring the sunrise and sunset.
Everything passed like smoke before his eyes, seemingly right in front of him, yet illusory and ethereal.
Along the way, naturally many people noticed Lin Feng's figure. But just the terrifying whistling sound of the giant sword was enough to make them terrified, not daring to spy on the young man's figure on the sword.
Quietly comprehending, silently cultivating, about twenty days passed without him realizing it. He had returned to a place he once knew well.
On this day, Lin Feng stepped into the Qian Domain, an important stop on his life's journey. Without the Qian Domain, without Heavenly Lake, there would be no Lin Feng of today.
Heavenly Lake — endless, vast snowy mountains. Snowflakes continuously fell from the void, very quiet and peaceful. At the foot of Heavenly Lake, there were many pilgrims, including many young people from the Heavenly Lake Empire who wanted to join Heavenly Lake's sect. In recent years, Heavenly Lake had developed very rapidly. Within just a few years, several more Venerables had appeared, comprehending the power of Profound Meaning, making it extremely prosperous.
Rumors spread in the Heavenly Lake Empire that a few years ago, Heavenly Lake had a genius disciple. It was because of his existence that Heavenly Lake had achieved its current prosperity. When that genius disciple left Heavenly Lake, he left behind a set of Profound Meaning formations on the six main peaks, turning the six snow peaks of Heavenly Lake into cultivation holy lands.
In the past, when terrifying forces like the East Sea Dragon Palace, Divine Palace, and Jade Heaven Royal Clan joined forces to attack Heavenly Lake, it was because of this terrifying formation that countless people were annihilated. The Carefree Sect Leader was blasted until he was covered in blood, losing an entire arm. Even with Venerable power, he couldn't regenerate it, because the destructive injury was too severe, and his bloodline power was insufficient to restore it.
Later, that genius disciple Lin Feng burned down the Carefree Sect headquarters with a single fire, making the Carefree Sect a laughingstock in the Qian Domain.
Even now, several superpowers in the Qian Domain continued to join forces against Heavenly Lake, often secretly hunting Heavenly Lake's disciples. But the more they did so, the more terrifyingly Heavenly Lake's people grew. Those major powers could not shake Heavenly Lake's foundation.
"I heard that the genius disciple Lin Feng left Heavenly Lake a few years ago. I wonder how he is now!" Many people in the Heavenly Lake Empire thought to themselves. And the young people at the foot of the snowy mountains who came to pay homage occasionally fantasized about one day bringing glory to Heavenly Lake.
"Rumble!" At this moment, a terrifying sharp sound rolled in, like the sound of a terrible storm tearing through space. Then came endless, terrifying sword light. A surge of air rolled in from afar, causing the ice and snow at the edge of the vast snowy mountains to churn wildly, turning into a terrifying wave of snow.
"So terrifying, like a towering sharp sword!" The hearts of the crowd at the foot of Heavenly Lake all trembled, shocked beyond measure. Then, they saw a terrifying giant sword flying toward them, so fast that their eyes couldn't track it. But when the giant sword reached this area, it seemed to slow down slightly, and the wild spatial waves finally eased.
"What a handsome young man!" At this moment, the crowd discovered that on the giant sword sat a young man. His face was clear and handsome, his eyes deep and spirited. Even more surprising was his temperament — elusive and unpredictable, sometimes as calm as a lake, sometimes as sharp as a towering sword.
The young man glanced downward, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. Then he withdrew the giant sword, stepped forward, and headed toward the vast snowy mountains.
"Heavenly Lake Holy Land, no unauthorized entry!" At this moment, two young figures rushed into the void to intercept Lin Feng. But the next moment, they felt a breeze brush past them. When they looked forward again, there was no one there. The young man had directly disappeared.
Their hearts trembled violently. So terrifying!
"Go, inform the Peak Master!" The two exchanged glances, then flashed away.
On the main peak of Tian Xuan Peak, it was especially lively today. Snow Venerable and the others, who had been in seclusion for a long time, had now emerged. At this moment, outside the main peak's great hall, a group of people faced the wind and snow, draped in long robes, chatting and laughing, as if reminiscing.
Today, two outstanding disciples of Tian Xuan Peak who had been training abroad had returned — a man and a woman. The man was handsome and spirited, while the woman was pure as snow, exceptionally beautiful. They were two of those selected when they entered the secret realm last time: Han Qiuyu, and the former Heavenly Lake Saintess, Tianchi Xue.
"A few years have passed. I didn't expect that upon your return, Tianchi Xue and Han Qiuyu would have become a couple. What a wonderful match!" Snow Venerable said with a smile. Han Qiuyu and Tianchi Xue both had excellent talent. In the past, Tianchi Xue was called the Saintess by the people of the Heavenly Lake Empire, considered the most talented. But later, with the addition of Lin Feng and others, Tianchi Xue seemed to be overshadowed. As for Han Qiuyu, he possessed a strange martial soul — the Book Martial Soul — which was very powerful. If he could develop in a broader world, his achievements would be even greater.
"Yes, very good. Now that your cultivation has reached the Sixth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, entering the Venerable Martial Realm is just a matter of time." Fire Venerable also said with a smile. Nowadays, many Heavenly Lake disciples went out to train. Some never returned, perhaps encountering better opportunities or dying in foreign lands. But when someone returned, the elders were always happy.
"Teacher, has Lin Feng ever come back?" Tianchi Xue asked Snow Venerable. She had an indescribable feeling toward Lin Feng. Once, she had looked down upon the young man standing on the snow peak from above. In the secret realm, he had proven his terror. Later, those words — that she wasn't worthy of the Great Pest — still weighed on her mind to this day. Over the years, she had desperately cultivated and finally reached the Sixth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, with stable cultivation and strong combat power. She could even fight those at the Seventh Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm. Even if Lin Feng returned, he would probably be about the same.
"Lin Feng!" Snow Venerable and the others exchanged glances, a hint of emotion in their eyes. The three of them had personally nurtured Lin Feng with great care, then sent him away from the Qian Domain, letting him head to that vast, boundless stage — the Eight Wastelands Realm. Now, how was Lin Feng doing?
"Lin Feng!" A somewhat excited voice came from behind Snow Venerable. He turned his gaze to see a very beautiful young woman behind him. Her eyes were clear, with a gentle beauty that seemed to invite pity. This was the beautiful woman now called the Saintess by the people of the Heavenly Lake Empire — Huo Shiyun!
"Shiyun, do you know Lin Feng?" Snow Venerable asked softly.
Huo Shiyun's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to speak but hesitated. Then a brilliant smile appeared on her face, and she said softly, "I've been at Heavenly Lake for a year now. How could I not know Lin Feng?"
"Haha, Shiyun, if you ever meet Lin Feng, you might fall for him!" Fire Venerable liked to joke, causing a faint blush to appear on Huo Shiyun's face. She lowered her head slightly, her slender hands clenched tightly, as if she had something on her mind.
"It's been a long time since I've seen that little fellow. I wonder how he's doing!" The Sword Maniac beside them also rarely spoke, letting out a sigh. That kid with extraordinary comprehension in the Sword Dao — how was his sword cultivation progressing now?
