# Chapter 1277: Dragon Vein Terrain
Heavenly Terrace, Heaven Beyond Heaven. Two figures sat quietly on wooden chairs, leisurely enjoying the tranquility of the small village.
"Old friend, this Eight Wastelands Realm is becoming more and more unstable. Only we at Heavenly Terrace can keep ourselves out of it," one figure said, sitting there with a quiet smile as he spoke to the old man beside him. This old man was none other than the Martial Emperor of Heavenly Terrace, Yu Emperor.
"Don't gloat. Do you really think Heavenly Terrace can stay out of it?" Yu Emperor said with a smile. "That fellow from Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress, as well as Falling Heaven Pavilion and the Emperor-Slaying Alliance—none of them seem very peaceful."
"Add to that the recent turmoil in Snow Moon and the Martial Emperor battle, it will be difficult for our Heavenly Terrace to avoid getting involved," the person beside Yu Emperor replied with a smile, though he still appeared exceptionally calm.
"Don't forget the belated Assembly of Emperors. Besides, with so many geniuses rising now, just within our Heavenly Terrace alone—Hou Qinglin, Ruoxie, Tian Chi, Lin Feng, Qiu Yuexin, and Lin Feng's wife Meng Qing—all of these people will have the opportunity to attain the Emperor Dao in the future. Other forces may not match our Heavenly Terrace, but they too have produced many talented individuals. And there are those with extraordinary natural talent who have yet to truly appear—for example, those geniuses who happened to step into the Venerable Martial Realm just before the opening of the City of Fate. We don't know about them."
"Indeed. There is a gap between the two openings of the City of Fate, during which some figures emerged. We may not know of them, but I believe they will all come out soon. Besides, doesn't our Heavenly Terrace also have such figures?"
With that, the two exchanged a knowing smile. The great era of the Eight Wastelands' struggle for supremacy was ultimately coming. The chaos in Snow Moon Kingdom had only accelerated the pace. From now on, the Eight Wastelands Realm would not be peaceful.
...
Just as the two had said, the chaos in Snow Moon Kingdom accelerated the pace of the era. At this moment, after the various Martial Emperors had returned, countless experts from Martial Emperor forces set out together for the Wen Family, intending to use the Heavenly Void Ancient Array. Moreover, this time, the lineup was even more terrifying. For two Small Worlds, even sacrificing an entire legion would be worth it if they could obtain a single heavy treasure.
Furthermore, it wasn't just those Martial Emperor forces. People from various other forces in the Eight Wastelands Realm also flocked to Snow Moon Kingdom. Even if they couldn't obtain the heavy treasures, the Small Worlds of Xi Emperor and Nine Nether Demon Emperor were worth seeing. Moreover, they could witness a true great battle. Of course, deep down, they still harbored a sliver of luck—what if they were lucky enough to obtain the treasures of Xi Emperor and Nine Nether Demon Emperor?
Now, facing the vast Eight Wastelands, the Wen Family had fully activated the Heavenly Void Ancient Array. The general trend was irreversible. If the Wen Family closed the Heavenly Void Ancient Array, they would be opposing the entire Eight Wastelands. Even if the Wen Family were stronger, they wouldn't dare to do so.
The Heavenly Void Ancient Array was unconditionally opened, allowing the entire Eight Wastelands to use it to travel to Snow Moon.
And in Snow Moon Kingdom, figures descended from the sky one after another. Moreover, each group that descended could appear in different locations within Snow Moon Kingdom. After all, the Wen Family's Heavenly Void Ancient Array was not fixed-direction; the general coordinates would naturally have some transmission error. Thus, each batch of people transmitted over ended up in different positions.
Of course, the people of Snow Moon Kingdom had already developed strong hearts and could withstand it. They had even seen the heaven-defying Nine Nether Demon Emperor and heard him play the Nine Nether Demon Melody. What could be more shocking than that?
In fact, for many outstanding young descendants of Snow Moon Kingdom, there was even a hint of excitement. They had always yearned for a kingdom teeming with experts. Now, with experts from the Eight Wastelands Realm constantly descending, wasn't this creating exactly those conditions? Moreover, their field of vision had truly broadened. Especially with the terrifying primordial energy now spreading throughout Snow Moon, it seemed more suitable for martial cultivation. Even people from many surrounding kingdoms were migrating toward Snow Moon Kingdom.
At this moment, Lin Feng stood in the space above the outskirts of Yangzhou City. He no longer needed to go to the Cloud Sea Mountain Range, because the Small World of Nine Nether Demon Emperor had already extended from the Cloud Sea Mountain Range to this area, truly spanning millions of miles of territory, enveloping Xi Emperor's Small World within it.
"Young Master, perhaps this is a blessing for Snow Moon Kingdom. From now on, this kingdom will truly flourish because of the two Small Worlds," Sword Tomb said, seeing Lin Feng standing in the void as if in thought. He vaguely understood what Lin Feng was thinking. Although the Young Master was a sword, he still retained his past memories and nature, truly having flesh and blood.
Lin Feng was silent for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. "You're right. This is a blessing for Snow Moon. From now on, Snow Moon Kingdom will truly move toward prosperity. Regardless of who composes Snow Moon in the future, it will be Snow Moon's prosperity. My thinking was too narrow. I still seemed to hope that Snow Moon Kingdom would remain the small country it once was, that everyone would live a peaceful life. But is that peace really what they want?"
Thinking this, a faint smile appeared in Lin Feng's eyes. In the past, when he was in Snow Moon Kingdom, hadn't he always longed to go out? Now, he had reached this point, able to stand at the peak of Snow Moon and overlook all beings. But what right did he have to hinder others from pursuing opportunities for strength? Everything would take its natural course, as long as no one did anything against the way of humanity.
"You don't need to follow me. When I need you, I will crush the sword seal to summon you," Lin Feng said, then his figure flickered downward.
Sword Tomb and the others did not disobey Lin Feng's words. The Young Master possessed the Ancestor's Sword. If he truly faced a life-and-death crisis, the Young Master would naturally take out the Ancestor's Sword to kill the enemy. As for Lin Feng's safety, Sword Tomb wasn't too worried. After all, situations like Qi Yun using an Imperial Artifact against the Young Master were unlikely to occur.
However, when Lin Feng stepped into the Small World, he had quietly changed his face and even his aura. Lin Feng's identity was too conspicuous. The people from Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress and the Qi Family had their eyes fixed on him. As soon as he appeared, he would be watched closely. This made many things inconvenient. On the other hand, the Cursed One occasionally needed to come out and move around.
With his face and aura changed, Lin Feng walked through the Small World of Nine Nether Demon Emperor without attracting much attention. He was just a cultivator at the Eighth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, which was considered weak among the search army in this Small World.
Of course, although countless experts had descended here, the Small World was too vast, making the crowd appear sparse. At a glance, one could barely see a few figures. Occasionally, some powerful Venerable Ones flew through the void, searching from above. Only the strong could do this. Once they found something, they would directly seize it. Those weaker could only obediently search their own corners, though this was more thorough.
"Bones!" At this moment, Lin Feng arrived at a vast mountain range within the Small World of Nine Nether Demon Emperor. This mountain range actually appeared in a desolate black color, like a demon mountain. Among the forests of the mountain range, Lin Feng saw a skeleton. The skeleton was sitting there, very upright, and was also black in color.
"Not just one!" Lin Feng's gaze swept across the mountain range. There were quite a few skeletons here. They should be disciples or followers of Nine Nether Demon Emperor. As a Great Emperor-level expert, it was very normal for Nine Nether Demon Emperor to have disciples and subordinates.
This black demon mountain seemed to be their usual cultivation ground.
"There are quite a few people searching here too." Lin Feng saw many figures in the mountain range. Not far ahead, there was a woman in blue clothes. Her figure was very attractive, but she seemed to be observing something. However, this blue-clothed woman's cultivation was somewhat weak—only at the Fifth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm.
As if sensing Lin Feng's gaze, the woman in the mountain range slightly turned her head and smiled gently at Lin Feng. She was exceptionally beautiful, just as Lin Feng had expected—indeed a beauty.
Moreover, seeing this beauty, Lin Feng's expression suddenly froze. Another acquaintance—one of the top ten young experts of Dragon Mountain Empire, Qing Mengxin.
"Senior, do you have any advice for this young woman?" Qing Mengxin smiled at Lin Feng, obviously unable to recognize the disguised Lin Feng. But her smile was still as alluring as before.
"Senior?" Lin Feng smiled. In the past, he had a decent relationship with Qing Mengxin, and they had gone to participate in the Snow Domain Grand Competition together. Now, meeting again, she called him "senior"—it felt a bit unfamiliar.
"Qing Mengxin and Tang Youyou are both in Dragon Mountain Empire. I wonder if Dragon Mountain Empire has any news of Tang Youyou," Lin Feng murmured to himself, then smiled and said, "Little girl, you're beautiful, but searching for dead people's things here—it's a bit unseemly."
"Senior, although your cultivation is stronger than mine, you don't seem that old either. Why do you call me 'little girl'?" Qing Mengxin's voice seemed to bridge the distance with strangers, making people feel a bit of goodwill toward her. "Besides, Senior should know the situation here now. So many experts, Venerable Ones everywhere. With all due respect, even someone of Senior's cultivation can only search for opportunities on the fringes."
Lin Feng walked forward, his gaze fixed on Qing Mengxin. "Is that so?"
Seeing Lin Feng's eyes, Qing Mengxin's gaze flickered, and she smiled. "Has Senior also noticed?"
"Noticed what?" Lin Feng continued staring at Qing Mengxin, deliberately teasing her. But he didn't expect she might actually know something.
"Senior, I suspect that the Demon Emperor might have cultivated in this mountain range in the past," Qing Mengxin said, causing Lin Feng's expression to condense. Nine Nether Demon Emperor, cultivating in this fringe mountain range?
"What makes you say that?" Lin Feng asked.
"Senior, come with me." Qing Mengxin's body rose into the air, soaring upward. Lin Feng moved as well, following Qing Mengxin into the sky.
"Senior, look from afar. Don't look at the white world, only the black," Qing Mengxin pointed into the distance and said to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked carefully, ignoring Xi Emperor's Small World and only looking at Nine Nether Demon Emperor's Small World. At first glance, there was nothing special. But as he observed from far to near, he suddenly discovered that the entire Small World, from far to near, resembled a boundless giant dark demon dragon, coiled and curved, holding Xi Emperor's Small World in its embrace. And this side was the direction of the dragon's head.
"Senior, isn't this the dragon vein terrain?" Qing Mengxin said with a low laugh, making Lin Feng smile wryly. So many experts were focused on searching for treasures, yet they hadn't noticed that this weak Qing Mengxin had discovered that the entire vast Small World was actually a dragon vein terrain—a dark demon dragon.
