# Chapter 1249: The Martial Emperor's Intent
Cultivation techniques for Venerable cultivators, Essence Crystals, and even Sacred Artifacts!
All were extremely precious items, of great benefit to Venerable cultivators, and even more so to Heavenly Martial Realm experts.
Sacred Artifacts—in the vast Heavenly Lake, there were only a few Sacred Artifacts. If each of the Seven Great Snow Peaks had a Venerable who could possess a Sacred Artifact, they would become much stronger. With this one statement, Lin Feng could greatly enhance the overall strength of the entire Heavenly Lake.
"Good. From now on, if the Carefree Sect, East Sea Dragon Palace, and other forces dare to provoke our Heavenly Lake again, we should give them a profound lesson." Tianjizi nodded repeatedly upon hearing Lin Feng's words. His ethereal, transcendent figure seemed quite delighted. Being able to elevate the strength of the entire Heavenly Lake once more—as the Peak Master of Tianji Peak and the current leader of Heavenly Lake—Tianjizi was naturally happy and felt a trace of comfort.
Then, Lin Feng distributed six Storage Rings to the Peak Masters of Heavenly Lake's six major Snow Peaks. As for Tian Xuan Peak, he would make separate arrangements. What he left for his three teachers would naturally be the best.
"Lin Feng, although you've instructed your fellow disciples, we still don't know your true strength. How about letting your junior brothers broaden their horizons?" Tianjizi said with a smile. Based on Lin Feng's performance just now, his combat power far exceeded his own cultivation level, reaching a terrifying degree. If he fully unleashed it once, the outstanding younger disciples of the various peaks could witness it, bringing them pressure and passion.
"With Xiao Feng's strength, at least a Venerable-level opponent would be needed to test him," Snow Venerable said with a smile. "How about letting one of the Venerable-level junior brothers spar with Xiao Feng?"
"Yes, that's a good suggestion. Xiao Feng's strength indeed requires the Venerable Martial Realm to test," Tianjizi agreed with a smile.
This made everyone excited. Lin Feng, senior brother—could he defeat a Venerable?
The eyes of these vibrant young people revealed traces of anticipation, their hearts surging with passion. If only they could one day become as strong as Senior Brother Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled bitterly. For him, was there any difference between an ordinary low-rank Venerable and a high-rank Heavenly Martial cultivator? He had already killed quite a few Venerables in the Eight Wastelands Realm. But when it came to the elders of Heavenly Lake, he couldn't treat them the same way he treated his junior brothers, could he? That would make the elders lose face!
"Let me try!"
From the Tian Shu Peak lineage, an old man at the First Layer of Venerable Martial Realm stepped forward. His gaze was rather cold. In the past, the leader of the Tian Shu Peak lineage, Tian Shuzi, had died because of Lin Feng. He had become a traitor to Heavenly Lake and was executed. Moreover, Lin Feng had not bestowed powerful Sacred Mark Essence Array formations on the Tian Shu Peak lineage. Although Tian Shu Peak was now also full of vitality, with many outstanding disciples able to cultivate on other main peaks, there were still a few old men who had followed Tian Shuzi in the past, and they harbored resentment in their hearts.
Lin Feng's keen intuition sensed the faint coldness emanating from the other party. Understanding the situation, he glanced in Snow Venerable's direction.
"Xiao Feng, go all out. Don't hold back. Give him a profound lesson. Those few stubborn old fellows need to be properly guided," Snow Venerable transmitted to Lin Feng. He knew there were still a few stubborn old men on Tian Shu Peak. It was time to stimulate them and make them think carefully about whether Tian Shuzi's actions in the past were right or wrong.
"Alright." Lin Feng transmitted his reply, then said to the old man before him, "Please instruct me, Uncle-Master."
"Venerables cultivate the power of Essence, which is not something Heavenly Martial cultivators can compare to. Although your talent is good, you must understand that some gaps cannot be bridged," the old man said in a lecturing tone. Lin Feng listened quietly and responded calmly, "Uncle-Master's teachings, Lin Feng naturally remembers."
"Very well. Now let me show you. Be careful." The Venerable from Tian Shu Peak stepped forward, his movements as fast as lightning, as fierce as a thunderclap. A shocking rumbling sound rang out as a terrifying snow palm print slammed toward Lin Feng, like a palm formed from ice and snow pressing down from the sky. This enormous snow palm print caused space to tremble.
Lin Feng took a slight step forward, then raised his hand and struck out with a palm. The crowd saw Lin Feng's palm seem illusory, tearing through space.
"Boom, crack!"
A domineering, earth-shaking sound rang out. The enormous snow palm print was instantly torn apart and shattered, snowflakes dancing wildly. Lin Feng's Sky-Rending Overlord Fist pierced through the snow palm print and struck the opponent's palm. Rumbling sounds echoed, followed by a muffled groan.
The crowd's gazes suddenly froze, their shocked eyes fixed on the two figures in the middle. At this moment, Lin Feng stood calmly in place, as if nothing had happened. In front of Lin Feng, a long sliding mark appeared on the snow. The Venerable from Tian Shu Peak stood at the end of the mark, his expression extremely ugly, with traces of blood at the corners of his mouth. Even now, he felt a terrifying illusion that his internal organs had been shattered.
"A Venerable—equally unable to withstand a single blow!" The hearts of the crowd churned violently, their expressions extremely vivid. Lin Feng was too terrifying. With a casual palm strike, even a Venerable was injured.
Some gaps cannot be bridged!
Recalling the old man's words just now, the crowd found it somewhat laughable. Who had the gap with whom?
"Uncle-Master, Lin Feng has offended you!"
Politely addressing the old man from Tian Shu Peak, Lin Feng remained very calm, without any pride or joy at having defeated a Venerable-level cultivator. For him now, defeating an ordinary Venerable was nothing worth mentioning.
"Old, old... In this era of geniuses emerging, we old fellows meddle too much!" The Venerable sighed, his voice carrying a hint of decline. Then he walked back into the crowd of Tian Shu Peak, gradually disappearing among them.
Snow Venerable and Tianjizi exchanged glances and smiled at each other. It was difficult to test Lin Feng's strength!
"Alright, that's enough for today. Everyone return to your respective Snow Peaks and cultivate well," Tianjizi said to the crowd.
"Senior Brother Lin Feng, in the Eight Wastelands Realm you went to, are there many geniuses there?"
At this moment, someone asked loudly. Lin Feng looked at the person and smiled, nodding. "Geniuses gather like clouds, experts are as numerous as the stars. There are endless opportunities there. But first, ask yourselves: are you prepared?"
"Geniuses gather like clouds, endless opportunities!" Many people's eyes showed longing. They asked themselves in their hearts: Am I prepared?
The crowd gradually dispersed. Even the disciples of Tian Xuan Peak left one after another. Soon, only the three Venerables of Tian Xuan Peak, Lin Feng, Huo Shiyun, and Tianjizi remained on the snow.
"Lin Feng, tell me the truth now. How much of your combat power did you use in that palm strike just now?" Tianjizi looked at Lin Feng with a smile and asked.
Snow Venerable and the others also looked at Lin Feng, wanting to know the answer. Where exactly was Lin Feng's limit?
"Tell the truth?" Lin Feng asked weakly.
"You little rascal, of course you must tell the truth!" Tianjizi scolded with a smile.
"It was just... a casual palm strike," Lin Feng said weakly, causing Tianjizi's gaze to suddenly freeze, his heart twitching slightly. He had thought Lin Feng would say he had used only two or three-tenths of his power, or even one-tenth, something he could accept. But Lin Feng only said it was a casual palm strike.
In other words, to deal with that Venerable, Lin Feng didn't need to exert any effort at all. He could just casually send out a palm strike!
"Xiao Feng, your words are hurtful!" Old Man Huo muttered gloomily. He had cultivated for half his life and was only at the Third Layer of Venerable Martial Realm. Lin Feng could injure a Venerable with a casual palm strike. If he fought with full force, he could probably contend with him.
"Xiao Feng, how about we try?" Sword Venerable's gaze was sharp, eager to give it a try, making Lin Feng roll his eyes. "Teacher, how would I dare to fight you!"
"You madman, stop scaring Xiao Feng!" Snow Venerable glared at Sword Madman, then said to Lin Feng, "Xiao Feng, didn't you say you had something to tell us and Uncle-Master? What is it?"
Lin Feng nodded slightly, looking at the elders, and said, "Teacher, Uncle-Master, have you ever thought about going out to explore?"
"Going out to explore!" The few of them exchanged glances. Then Tianjizi said, "Your teacher and I have discussed this matter before. In the past, the previous Peak Masters of Tianji Peak and Tian Xuan Peak—my teacher and your teacher's teacher—had very strong talent. At that time, Heavenly Lake had a glorious period, dominating the Qian Domain, with no one daring to provoke it. But later, the two teachers left together to explore the continent. I have had such thoughts before, but unfortunately, since the teachers left, Heavenly Lake's strength has weakened considerably. With powerful enemies all around, and our talent not matching that of the teachers, we never acted on such thoughts."
"Uncle-Master, the younger generation has its own blessings. In times of crisis, extraordinary talents often emerge. If you consider too much, aren't you holding yourselves back? As for Heavenly Lake's major enemies, I believe I will personally pay them a visit soon." A cold light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes, sharp and piercing, carrying intense killing intent. The East Sea Dragon Palace, the Jade Heaven Royal Clan—they had all participated in the Snow Moon tragedy back then. In that battle, Meng Qing was blasted back to her original form, he himself fell into the demonic path, his grandfather was crippled, his beloved teacher Yan Yu Pingsheng was killed, and countless lives were destroyed. Blood debts must be repaid with blood.
"Uncle-Master, Teacher, do you still remember Hou Qinglin, the expert who sent us to the Eight Wastelands Realm?"
"Of course I remember. One sword cuts through reincarnation. If he hadn't stopped Yu Xiao, Heavenly Lake would have been in danger!" Snow Venerable nodded.
"Now, Hou Qinglin is already my second senior brother, ranking second among the eleven personal disciples of Stone Emperor and Yu Emperor. I am the last, the eleventh personal disciple. Teacher, do you know why Hou Qinglin crossed endless territories to come to our Qian Domain to announce the Martial Emperor's recruitment of disciples?"
Snow Venerable's gaze suddenly froze. "I was puzzled about this back then. Is there really something unusual about it?"
"Back then, my second senior brother and I didn't know each other, but he helped resolve a crisis for me and even inadvertently helped Heavenly Lake. In the end, when he released the news, he did so in front of everyone at Heavenly Lake. All of this was because my second senior brother was acting on the Martial Emperor's intent back then!"
Lin Feng's words caused the hearts of the few people to tremble violently. The Martial Emperor's intent!
