# Chapter 1488: The Old Man and the Young Man

Outside the stone gate, Feng Xuan and Feng Ling'er sat together. They had come out a few days ago, having reached the fourth heavenly wall. After persisting for several days, they could no longer bear it and had to step out.

The people from Holy City Central Continent were not far from the two women, occasionally discussing Gu Li and Lin Feng who were still inside. So many days had passed, and Gu Li was still inside—how terrifying. Back then, they had only persisted for about twenty-something days, reaching the fifth or sixth heavenly wall before they had to withdraw. Otherwise, they would truly have been crushed by that overwhelming momentum. Unable to conquer the power of that momentum, they simply walked out, lest their minds become disturbed and affect their cultivation and comprehension.

After experiencing it inside for a while, then quietly comprehending it outside, they could still feel that kind of progress.

"He actually entered and stayed inside for so long!" At this moment, a young man spoke. The person he referred to was naturally Lin Feng.

"It's not even twenty days yet; that doesn't mean much. Didn't we also persist for over twenty days?" Another person said calmly.

"That's true, but these two beauties are not bad. Their cultivation isn't strong, yet they've persisted for so long. Their talent is not weak, and more importantly, they are so beautiful and moving." Those people began to pay attention to Feng Xuan and Feng Ling'er. In the world of martial arts, no matter who it was, the most important thing was martial arts—this was a world of martial arts. But aside from martial arts, in their leisure time, men naturally liked beautiful women the most. At this moment, two stunning beauties were right before their eyes, so these people would naturally take notice.

Feng Xuan was one of the Four Great Beauties of the Eight Wastelands Realm. Her flame-red long robe outlined her figure with several temptations. Her face was breathtakingly beautiful and flawless, making one want to kiss her. Feng Ling'er stood gracefully, though not as fiery as Feng Xuan, she was slender and delicate, evoking fantasies.

"Haha, could it be that Brother Tianruo wants to take the beauties home?" One person said with a laugh.

That person shrugged and said casually, "If such beauties haven't been touched by a man, marrying them as wives would be a wonderful thing."

"Brother Tianruo has this thought, but you also need to ask if the beauties are willing!" Another person joked. The man called Tianruo glanced at Feng Xuan and Feng Ling'er and smiled, "A pair of sisters—if I could take them both home, that would be an even more wonderful thing. What do you two beauties think?"

A trace of anger flickered in Feng Ling'er's fluttering eyelashes. She was about to speak, but Feng Xuan pulled her back and smiled at the young man, "Sorry, but both my sister and I already have someone in our hearts."

"Is that so?" A sharp glint flashed in the young man's eyes, and a strong aura seemed to press down on the two Feng sisters. Feng Ling'er's eyelashes trembled, and she became even more displeased. These people were so shameless, relying on their superior strength to speak frivolously to her and her sister.

"Yes, didn't you see him just now? If you can defeat him, my sister and I might consider being with you." Feng Xuan's heart was cold, but her face still carried a faint smile. If they had a conflict with this group now, it would be very disadvantageous for them. So she had to shift the matter onto Lin Feng. Feng Xuan believed that if this person really challenged Lin Feng, he would be the one to suffer.

"Hehe, everyone heard that, right? The beauty personally agreed to me. She can't deny it." A sharp intent flashed in the young man's eyes. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect that I, Zhou Tianruo, would find a pair of sisters on this trip. Quite lucky."

"Haha, Brother Tianruo is truly blessed. To sleep with both sisters in the same bed in the future—what good fortune." The others laughed frivolously, as if exceptionally pleased. Feng Xuan remained composed, but Feng Ling'er's beautiful face was full of anger. Her small fists were clenched tightly, wishing she could kick that guy to death right then and there.

Time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, it had been nearly a month since Lin Feng stepped into the eight heavenly walls. On this day, above the Heavenly Wall Mountain Villa, two figures stepped on the clouds and descended. One was an old man with a white beard, ethereal and otherworldly, with a hint of immortal grace and the aura of a reclusive master. He sat casually on the clouds, calm and indifferent, watching the vast world.

Behind him was a young man, very handsome, with a slender build and a fair, handsome face. He stood with his hands behind his back, faintly merging with the void. Like the old man, he had a somewhat ethereal and transcendent temperament.

"Master has returned!" At this moment, many people in the Heavenly Wall Mountain Villa looked up at the two figures descending from the void, a hint of joy in their eyes.

The master had taken the youngest junior brother to travel the world. After a year, they had finally returned to the mountain villa.

Outside the heavenly wall stone gate, the beautiful woman of the Heavenly Wall Mountain Villa stood up, looked at the figures in the void, and soared into the air, smiling, "Master, little junior brother, you've finally returned!"

"Senior sister, it's been many days. You've become even more beautiful!" The white-robed young man said with a light smile.

"You and your glib tongue. Master has taken you to travel the world this past year. Now your cultivation has actually reached the Fifth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm. You've improved so quickly. I'm afraid your momentum power has even surpassed senior sister's." The woman's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at the white-robed young man.

"It's all thanks to Master. For this unworthy disciple, Master has ventured into many hidden and dangerous places." The white-robed young man looked at the old man with respect. If it had been before, he would never have known that many remote places concealed such great dangers, places that could even threaten Martial Emperor-level experts. Of course, the opportunities within were also astonishing.

"It wasn't all for you. You and your senior sister have both reached a certain level of cultivation. It's time to go out and explore. Staying here is ultimately like being a frog at the bottom of a well." The old man said with a smile. By now, the few figures had landed on the ground.

"Sister, a Martial Emperor!" Feng Ling'er was a bit shocked. The master of this mountain villa was indeed a Martial Emperor. Moreover, she didn't dare to say it, but she faintly felt that the old man was unfathomably deep—even more powerful than her master.

"Mm." Feng Xuan naturally felt it too.

At this moment, the old man happened to look toward Feng Xuan and Feng Ling'er. The faint smile in his eyes gave rise to an indescribable feeling of goodwill.

"Not bad, you two girls. Cultivate well, and you'll both have great prospects in the future!" The old man said with a smile. Then he glanced at the group of young people from Holy City Central Continent. A faint trace of strangeness flickered in his brow.

"Washed away the impurities. You must have taken body-transforming pills at birth. Your souls are tightly connected, your flesh and blood are one. You're people from over there." The old man said with a light smile. Immediately, the seated young people's eyes contracted, sharp glints flashing through them. To see through their foundation at a single glance—this level of cultivation was terrifying. It was definitely not something that could be summed up with just the word "Martial Emperor."

This made them involuntarily stand up. Such an expert deserved respect, even if they were people from over there.

"A hundred years have passed. Sure enough, my Heavenly Wall Mountain Villa has become lively, with so many distinguished guests arriving!" The old man smiled gently. Then he looked at the stone wall and said, "Are there still people inside?"

"Three more. One of them is also from over there. The other two are together with these two young ladies. Master, would you like to go in and take a look?" The beautiful woman of the Heavenly Wall Mountain Villa replied.

"Alright, I'll go take a look!" The old man's figure flickered. The stone gate seemed to open on its own. The moment the old man stepped inside, the stone gate closed again. Then he saw that there were indeed three people inside. One was beneath the seventh heavenly wall, bearing tremendous pressure, drenched in sweat. The other two were sitting back-to-back at the intersection of the eight heavenly walls. Eight different rhythmic movements of heaven and earth momentum pierced through their bodies, never ceasing. But the two seemed completely unaware, quietly sitting cross-legged, as if nothing outside could disturb them.

The old man's eyes finally changed, revealing a hint of surprise. Then he turned and quietly walked out, smiling, "Not bad, very good."

"Master seems quite pleased." The white-robed young man said with a smile.

"Two of the people inside have talent no less than yours. Both are extraordinary talents!" The old man said with a smile, causing the woman beside the young man to freeze in shock. She knew well the talent of her little junior brother, especially his comprehension and control of momentum power—something she could never catch up to. And now, two people inside were both called extraordinary talents by the master.

Besides that Gu Li, could it be that the arrogant young man behind him was also one?

"Boom!" Suddenly, a rolling sound came from the stone gate. On the eight heavenly walls, terrifying ripples of momentum seemed to seep out, startling the crowd outside again.

"He's actually reversing the momentum to shake the heavenly wall!" The woman suddenly turned around, looking at the direction of the stone gate. Then, the booming sounds continued without end, causing the crowd to exchange glances. The power of momentum rolled out from inside, lingering for a long time.

After a moment, accompanied by the rolling sounds, the stone gate opened. Two figures walked out almost side by side. Both of them exuded a terrifying aura of heaven and earth momentum, constantly colliding. In the middle, a pressure of momentum seemed to surge toward the sky, causing the crowd's eyes to contract again. They seemed to understand how the reversed momentum had appeared.

"How is that possible?" The beautiful woman's expression stiffened. She couldn't believe it was true. Lin Feng hadn't been inside for even a month, and he had only entered once. After coming out, his momentum power had already surpassed hers. This dealt a huge blow to her confidence. Was her talent really that poor? It made her pretty face look somewhat stiff.

"Mm?" At this moment, Lin Feng's gaze collided with the white-robed young man beside her. Two dazzling sharp glints burst from their pupils, causing the woman to contract again. What was going on now?
