# Chapter 1651: Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital

"Holy City Central Continent." At this moment, Lin Feng's brows were slightly furrowed, as if he had thought of something.

The City of Fate. At this moment, Lin Feng remembered what the Prophet of the City of Fate had said to him, telling him to go to Holy City Central Continent in the future to find him. Did the Prophet's mention of Holy City Central Continent refer to the entire Great World, or to that Heavenly Main City of Holy City Central Continent?

If what the Prophet called Holy City Central Continent referred to the entire Great World, then finding him would be extremely difficult. Unless, the Fate Temple was very famous, its light shining across the entire Nine Heavens Continent, known to all.

"Lin Xue, have you heard of the Fate Temple?" Lin Feng asked Mu Linxue again.

"Temple." Mu Linxue's heart trembled slightly. The legends of the Temples were even more ethereal and elusive than Holy City Central Continent. She had never come into contact with them, but she had indeed heard of the existence of the Temples. Rumors said that the Temples were forces standing at the pinnacle of the world, their radiance spreading to every corner of the Nine Heavens Continent, even into those fully evolved Small Worlds. It was said that at certain stages, the footprints of the Temples would appear, and no one could escape the envelopment of the Temples' light.

"Holy City Central Continent is a Heavenly Main City of the Qingxiao Land. Perhaps there you can inquire about some information regarding the Temples. At the height I currently stand, I haven't been able to reach the Temples." Mu Linxue deeply understood that her own strength was nothing in the vast Nine Heavens Continent, utterly insignificant. Even in this Flame Gold City, she was just a drop in the ocean. If it weren't for this Refining Competition, she wouldn't have become so famous. And a martial cultivator's strength determines the height at which they stand and how far they can see. As a Venerable Martial cultivator, she only had a vague concept of many things.

Lin Feng could fully understand. Back then, the radiance of the Fate Temple had directly descended upon the Small World, showing just how terrifying and immeasurable the energy contained within the Temple was. For countless people, the Temple was nothing but an ethereal existence.

"Lin Xue, have you ever heard of Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital?" Lin Feng asked again. Mu Linxue looked at Lin Feng with surprise. How could Lin Feng seem so completely unaware of the Nine Heavens Continent? She really didn't know how he had lived before. Although she had never been to Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, she had certainly heard of it.

"Lin Feng, Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital is a Heavenly Main City that shares equal fame with Holy City Central Continent. It is one of the eighteen ancient Heavenly Cities of the Qingxiao Land. Moreover, the region we are in right now is within the sphere of influence radiated by Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital. It can be said that Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital is the royal city of this world." Mu Linxue said to Lin Feng. "By the way, why are you asking about all this?"

"I see." Lin Feng finally understood completely. The Qingxiao Land had eighteen Heavenly Main Cities, and Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital was one of them, vast in territory. The land he was now treading upon was a region within the radiation of Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital. This was like the transcendent status of the Heavenly Terrace relative to the Northern Wasteland, dividing the Qingxiao Land into eighteen pieces, with each Heavenly Main City radiating over one region.

"It's information from the memories of a senior." Lin Feng said to Mu Linxue, but didn't explain further. In fact, the information about Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital came from the divine mind memories of Wuji Heavenly Emperor. Lin Feng was still being hunted by the Wuji Palace, so some things couldn't be said too openly. He didn't know how far this Flame Gold City was from the Four Symbols Region. If it wasn't far, he might need to leave quickly. The Green Robe Great Emperor wouldn't let him off easily.

"Since we are within the sphere of influence radiated by Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, Master Purple Gold might possibly have a map of this region." Lin Feng's eyes flickered. He urgently needed a map now. Even if he couldn't get a complete map of the Qingxiao Land, he at least needed to get a map of the region radiated by this Heavenly Main City of Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital. That would make traveling the Great World much more convenient in the future.

"Maybe. Since you want it, I'll go with you to ask Master Purple Gold." Mu Linxue smiled slightly at Lin Feng. Lin Feng nodded, and then the two of them flashed towards a deeper area. They knew where the Purple Gold Robe Refining Master who presided over the Flame Gold Tower lived. Half a year ago, he had told Lin Feng that if he had matters, he could come find him there.

Before long, the two arrived in front of a Purple Gold Tower. The color of this tower symbolized the status of the person living inside, and was actually the same color as the long robe they wore.

"Lin Feng, Mu Linxue." At this moment, a figure stepped out from the tower, landing in the courtyard in front of the tower, and laughed: "No need to be polite, come over."

"Thank you, Senior." Lin Feng slightly bowed. The two stepped forward and arrived before the Purple Gold Refining Master.

"Not bad. Both of your cultivation levels have improved considerably. Lin Feng, you're probably not far from Martial Emperor." The Purple Gold Refining Master looked at the two, as if he could see through their cultivation levels.

"I wonder how long it will take to break through this Martial Emperor barrier." Lin Feng said with a smile. How many martial artists were stuck at this threshold? Although his talent was exceptional, he didn't dare say he could easily cross this hurdle.

"Opportunities always come to those who are prepared. You already have everything in place now. Perhaps one day while cultivating, you'll have an epiphany and break through." The Purple Gold Refining Master smiled. "By the way, is there something you need from me?"

"Senior, I want a map of the region radiated by Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital. I was wondering how I might obtain one." Lin Feng didn't hide his intention and stated it directly.

"Oh?" The Purple Gold Refining Master's eyes lit up slightly, a gleam of light flashing through them. He smiled and said, "Lin Feng, are you planning to go to Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital?"

Of course, he understood that with Lin Feng's talent, this Flame Gold City couldn't keep him forever.

"I have that idea. I might go there someday." Lin Feng answered casually.

"Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital is one of the eighteen Heavenly Main Cities. There are countless experts there, a hundred flowers blooming, innumerable powerful sects, and endless geniuses emerging. It is a paradise for martial artists, but it can also be called a hell. That depends on one's personal fortune. I plan to organize some experts from the Flame Gold Tower to go to Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital in a few months. Lin Feng, if you're willing, you can come along."

The Purple Gold Refining Master smiled, which surprised Lin Feng slightly. Experts from the Flame Gold Tower were also going to Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital?

"A senior of our Flame Gold Tower is in Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital. In a few months, a group of Flame Gold Tower experts will go to pay respects, and at the same time bring some young juniors along to let them gain experience and broaden their horizons." The Refining Master added. Lin Feng pondered for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Lin Feng, if you want to go on your own, I naturally won't say anything. I'm just saying that if you're willing, you can travel together. Of course, you can also leave at any time. Also, I do have the memory of this map in my divine mind. I'll transfer it to you now." The Purple Gold Refining Master, thinking Lin Feng had misunderstood his intention, explained with a smile.

"Thank you, Senior, for your kindness." Lin Feng slightly bowed to the Refining Master. Then the other party released his divine mind, pouring the divine mind memories into Lin Feng's mind. It was a map of this vast region, but it was quite blurry, with many places marked unclearly. After all, this region was too vast, and few people could completely mark it out. He had obtained this map by chance.

"Senior, Lin Feng will take his leave now." Lin Feng said his farewells and left together with Mu Linxue.

"Lin Feng, what are you planning to do next?" Mu Linxue asked Lin Feng.

"After the Refining Competition, we've been in the Flame Gold Tower all this time. Shouldn't we go see Uncle Mu Yi?" Lin Feng said with a smile. Mu Linxue naturally had no objections and laughed, "I wonder how Father is doing. Let's go to the Mu Mansion."

The Mu Mansion was now relatively peaceful. After the Refining Competition ended, everything returned to calm. Mu Yi had been reinstated into the family, while Mu Linxue's eldest uncle had been expelled from the Mu Mansion. It was somewhat dramatic. However, the Mu Mansion now faced considerable pressure, naturally from the Yan Family. Of course, the Yan Family no longer dared to deal with the Mu Mansion openly. Mu Linxue and Lin Feng had joined the Flame Gold Tower and were valued, forcing the Yan Family to act cautiously.

That day, Lin Feng and Mu Linxue returned, attracting the attention of many in the Mu Mansion. The way they looked at Mu Linxue was completely different from before. When they looked at Lin Feng, the older generation showed polite smiles, while the younger generation had some admiration. A cultivator who, at the Venerable Martial Realm, had defied the heavens and slain an Emperor was someone they could only look up to, not even envy.

Mu Yi was naturally happy to see Lin Feng and Mu Linxue come to visit him. The few of them gathered together and sat for a while, after which Lin Feng took his leave.

"Lin Feng, where are you going?" Mu Linxue's heart tightened when she saw Lin Feng taking his leave, as if afraid of losing something.

"Lin Xue, you stay at the Mu Mansion for a few days. I plan to go to Sword Mountain." Lin Feng said with a smile. The Flame Gold Tower wasn't far from Sword Mountain. He wanted to see how Ruoxie was doing, and whether he had stepped into the Martial Emperor Realm. He hadn't gone out much in the past year or so, so it was time to take a walk. After he returned, he would go with the Flame Gold Tower people to Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital.

"I'll go with you." Mu Linxue's eyes showed a strange expression, as if she was afraid that Lin Feng would never come back once he left.

Seeing Mu Linxue's expression, Lin Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, I'll still come back to the Flame Gold Tower. I'm just going out for a walk this time, to visit my senior brother. It's not like I'm leaving and never coming back."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Mu Linxue lowered her head slightly, her face flushing a little. She had lost her composure.

"Haha, Lin Xue, are you that afraid Lin Feng will run away?" Mu Yi laughed loudly, making Mu Linxue even more embarrassed. She said coquettishly, "Father."

"Alright, everyone knows what's on your mind. Lin Feng, you go ahead. I'll keep an eye on this girl." Mu Yi said cheerfully to Lin Feng, making Lin Feng smile bitterly inwardly. From Mu Yi's tone, he was clearly trying to matchmake him and Mu Linxue.

"Uncle Mu Yi, Lin Xue, I'll be going now." Lin Feng's figure flickered, disappearing like the wind. Watching his disappearing figure, Mu Yi's smile faded, and he murmured softly, "That kid has something on his mind. Lin Xue, if you want to win him over, it won't be that easy!"

Mu Linxue slightly raised her head, also watching Lin Feng's disappearing figure. Of course, she could also feel Lin Feng's distant and close attitude, as if he was deliberately keeping some distance from her!
