# Chapter 1571: The Former Site of the Imperial Palace

Currently, aside from the three disciples of Heavenly Terrace who were under the control of Qi Tian Fortress, plus him and Ruoxie, there were still six others outside. If Heavenly Terrace could rise in the Great World, they would surely be able to summon them back. As for those who had walked out from the Eight Wastelands Realm, if they heard the name of Heavenly Terrace, they might also come to take a look.

At that time, Mu Chen and Yu Emperor would also be found.

Moreover, wasn't the senior brother taking over the Watcher and moving forward precisely for this goal? To destroy the forces outside the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, to return the Small World to a free world, rather than being controlled in the hands of others, even becoming a tool for them to hunt and eliminate the weak while selecting the strong.

"Right now, our strength is still insufficient. There's no way we can control a force in the Great World; it could be easily wiped out. Let's keep this matter in our hearts and speak of it once we become stronger in the future." Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then spoke to Ruoxie. Ruoxie naturally understood this reasoning. In the Eight Wastelands Realm, a force with a Martial Emperor was already standing at the absolute peak, but in the Great World, a Low-rank Emperor was nothing to look at, let alone controlling a force.

"En, I understand." Ruoxie nodded slightly.

"Ruoxie, are these your fellow disciples from the Small World? I didn't expect you two to have such grand ambitions. It's a good thing, but wanting to establish a force in the Great World requires at least a High-rank Emperor to barely gain a foothold. To talk about it now seems a bit exaggerated. Who knows how many years it will take, or perhaps... forever!"

At this moment, the other three from Sword Mountain walked over. The young man who had been speaking with the girl earlier heard the content of Lin Feng and Ruoxie's conversation—they were talking about establishing a force on the continent—and couldn't help but find it quite amusing. Ruoxie was only at the Ninth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm, and Lin Feng was merely at the Eighth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm, barely able to move around in the outside world. Yet they were talking about creating a force? This was far too ignorant of the vastness of heaven and earth.

"Junior Brother Ruoxie, this isn't your former Small World." That young man seemed to speak with a tone of earnest advice.

"Thank you for the reminder." Ruoxie said calmly. He and Lin Feng were just chatting, but this person had to stick his nose in.

"By the way, where is your junior brother currently cultivating?" That person asked Lin Feng indifferently. Lin Feng glanced at him and replied, "On an island."

"Why not join Sword Mountain? I see that you also cultivate the sword, and Sword Mountain happens to be a paradise for sword cultivators. I can recommend you." At this moment, the beautiful woman stepped forward. She was quite polite and smiled at Lin Feng.

"Junior Sister!" The young man shouted in a low voice, causing the beautiful woman to look at him. But that person said, "Junior Sister, others have their own paths of cultivation. Besides, recruiting disciples into Sword Mountain is not a casual matter. How can you be so reckless?"

"What's the harm in trying?" The girl said disapprovingly.

"Of course, if our friend wants to try his luck at Sword Mountain, I can indeed recommend him. However, I must say, joining Sword Mountain is quite difficult!" That young man smiled at Lin Feng.

"No need, thank you." Lin Feng didn't know why this person's words carried a sarcastic tone, but with his current temperament, he wouldn't bother arguing over such a trivial matter. His growth experience was completely different from the other's.

"Ruoxie, let's talk ahead." Lin Feng said to Ruoxie. Then the two of them flickered, riding their swords, and in an instant, they were far away.

"Lin Feng, the people of this world are different from us. Their growth to our current level has been far too easy." Ruoxie said calmly. Although the other party had provoked Lin Feng, the real reason was still because of him. And this was far from the first time. But he had always been too lazy to bother with them. In fact, he rarely even paid attention to that beautiful girl. Aside from cultivation, he didn't want to invite trouble.

"With less tempering, their mental maturity isn't as developed." Lin Feng nodded in agreement. There were many young Martial Emperor-level experts whose mental maturity wasn't as mature as theirs. Mental maturity had nothing to do with cultivation realm or even age. What truly influenced a person's mind and temperament was their experiences, the hardships and tribulations they had walked through during their growth.

"Indeed. In this world, there is a type of pill known throughout the continent. People take it shortly after birth to transform their bodies, allowing them to inhale and exhale the energy of heaven and earth with every breath. As a result, they reach high cultivation realms while still extremely young, before experiencing the vanities of the world. Because their minds are free of distractions and without any stray thoughts, they achieve the Heavenly Martial Realm in childhood. This pill—every person born on this continent has their elders find a way to obtain it for them. Even if the cost is quite high, it's not a problem for a cultivator with even a bit of background."

Lin Feng was momentarily stunned by Ruoxie's words, then smiled bitterly. This was what they called being blessed by heaven. Ruoxie's words were just like what the master of Heavenly Wall Manor had said. Those people had started transforming themselves from childhood. Moreover, they were born inheriting the powerful bloodline power of their parents.

These people had already reached the Heavenly Martial Realm when they were young. At that same time, Lin Feng was still groping his way through martial arts, moving forward slowly. As for himself, he was fifteen years old when he first touched martial arts. By then, those with good talent in the Great World were probably already at the Venerable level, someone he could only look up to.

"Let's not talk about this. Where are you planning to go?" Ruoxie asked Lin Feng.

"I want to go to the former site of the Wuji Imperial Palace." Lin Feng replied. Ruoxie's expression tightened slightly, then he smiled and said, "So you've also come for the Wuji Imperial Palace?"

But after saying this, Ruoxie raised an eyebrow and added, "Lin Feng, there are rumors at Sword Mountain that the Wuji Imperial Palace might be in this Four Symbols Domain. Many disciples have come down from Sword Mountain to the Four Symbols Domain. Of course, Sword Mountain is just one small force among many. But even if the Wuji Imperial Palace reappears, it shouldn't be at its former site. Why not try your luck elsewhere?"

"The information I received is that the Wuji Imperial Palace might be in the area around the former site of the Imperial Palace." Lin Feng said with a smile. Ruoxie was slightly startled, then nodded. "Alright, I'll go with you to take a look. But don't hold out too much hope."

As they spoke, they accelerated. The few people behind them quickly caught up, even drawing the ancient swords they carried on their backs.

"Ruoxie, where are you going?" The girl called out.

"The former site of the Wuji Imperial Palace." Ruoxie replied.

This made the girl frown, and the young man from earlier even sneered, "Are you crazy? How could the Wuji Imperial Palace be in the area of its former site?"

"I didn't ask you to come." Ruoxie said indifferently. The young man's expression froze, and he couldn't help but look at the girl beside him. "In that case, let's go our separate ways."

"En, let's separate. I'll go with Ruoxie." The girl said to him, then flew on her sword to catch up with Ruoxie and Lin Feng. This made the young man's expression turn unpleasant, but he had no choice but to follow as well.

A day later, Lin Feng and his group had arrived at another place in the Four Symbols Domain. Ahead of them stood a series of dilapidated palaces, grand and imposing. At a glance, they looked like a city.

"The former site of the Wuji Imperial Palace!" Lin Feng looked at the ruined place before him. Although only broken walls remained, it still exuded an ancient majesty. One could imagine that in the past, the Wuji Imperial Palace stood here, receiving the worship of all directions.

"In the past, the Wuji Heavenly Emperor lived in his own Imperial Palace, which is what we call the Wuji Imperial Palace. It disappeared along with the Wuji Heavenly Emperor, right in that area." The girl beside Ruoxie pointed to an empty space in the middle of the vast Imperial Palace. That was where the Wuji Heavenly Emperor had lived. The surrounding area was the subsidiary buildings of the Imperial Palace, where the disciples of the Wuji Imperial Palace had resided.

"The Heavenly Emperor falls, the Imperial Palace declines!"

The young man beside her murmured. How many supreme experts had once been illustrious, shaking an entire region? But once they fell, everything turned to dust, and a new generation would rise to take their place.

"I heard that the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's fall was caused by the betrayal of his disciple. I wonder if the rumor is true or false!" The girl murmured.

"Junior Sister!" Her senior brother suddenly shouted, his expression stern. The girl immediately shut her mouth, seeming to realize she had misspoken. Although the Wuji Heavenly Emperor had fallen, many of his disciples still existed. Especially his most powerful disciples, who were extremely terrifying Great Emperor-level experts. Not just them, but even the entire Sword Mountain couldn't afford to offend them. They were not people they could casually discuss.

In the void, besides Lin Feng and his group, there were many other figures from various forces, all gazing at the former site of the Wuji Imperial Palace, as if feeling something in their hearts.

Lin Feng swept his gaze over the crowd in the void. The Wuji Heavenly Emperor had fallen who knew how many years ago, yet his prestige was still so immense. Even in death, countless people remembered him. Wasn't this also a kind of glory?
