# Chapter 1670: Guang Han Palace
Within ten thousand meters of void, three figures rode a sword forward, rolling clouds and mist drifting before their eyes. Lin Feng appeared quite silent.
Qiu Yuexin sat beside Lin Feng, holding his palm, transmitting threads of warmth. She knew how much Lin Feng and Meng Qing had experienced, far beyond what she could compare. This parting naturally brought unavoidable sadness. Neither Lin Feng nor Meng Qing wished to leave each other, yet they both resolutely made the same decision, only because they believed it was correct. The Snow Clan's Immortal King Body could not remain dormant. Meng Qing needed a terrifying force like the Ancient Realm Clan to help her grow.
"The Ancient Realm Clan will not disappoint you." Langxie seemed to know what Lin Feng was thinking, looking ahead as he spoke, his gaze as profound as ever.
"Since I decided to leave her with the Ancient Realm Clan, naturally I trust them. It's just that I can't help but worry a little." Lin Feng smiled. Langxie nodded: "This journey takes us to Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, one of the eighteen main cities of Qingxiao Land, where many powerful individuals gather. It's best to set aside distracting thoughts first, cultivate diligently, and strive to become an emperor as soon as possible."
Lin Feng smiled and said nothing more. This Langxie spoke quite plainly.
The speed of Lin Feng's Celestial Fate Sword naturally could not compare to the Ancient Sail. Thus, this journey was extremely long. The three of them sat on the sword, either cultivating or observing the scenery below. Countless main cities, villages, and castles passed by along the way, all like fleeting smoke and clouds. Gradually, a layer of dust settled on the three of them, making them appear travel-worn.
Occasionally, passersby with formidable auras would sweep their senses over this area, but Lin Feng and the others paid them no heed.
Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, one of the eighteen main cities of Qingxiao Land, contained countless prestigious families and forces. A single main city's territory was so vast that even the twelve empires of the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms combined could not compare—it was extremely prosperous.
Outside the ancient capital, there was an ancient lake. The lake water was clear, the surface undisturbed, calm and elegant.
At this moment, within the boundless lake surrounding Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, the sound of zithers curled upward, entering the ears thread by thread. At the center of the lake, there were pavilions and towers, ancient sailboats and giant vessels. Many elegant young masters walked on boats, while beautiful maidens danced in the lake. The beauty of the scene was refreshing to the mind and spirit.
In the void above the lake surface, Lin Feng and the others rode their sword past, covered in dust. Their gazes looked toward the lake area, and they couldn't help but show surprised expressions. At the heart of this ancient lake, there was actually such a beautiful scene. Many ancient sailboats and giant vessels gently stirred the water waves, surrounding a huge ancient pavilion in the middle of the lake, appreciating the graceful music and dance.
"These people have quite refined tastes." Lin Feng looked at the scene below and spoke softly. Zither sounds continuously drifted into his ears—spacious, grand, captivating the heart and mind, cleansing the inner self, bringing peace to the heart, containing the meaning of embracing all things.
"Although the person playing this tune appears to be indulging in romantic pleasures, they have a heart that embraces heaven and earth. Their ambition is not small." Lin Feng also understood music and could easily discern the meaning contained in the zither sounds.
"Great ambition. The player has lofty aspirations." Langxie, who had been meditating with closed eyes, opened them and murmured. Then his foot suddenly stepped forward, and he actually descended toward the lake.
"Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital." Lin Feng glanced into the distance, then looked at Qiu Yuexin and smiled: "Let's go down and take a look."
With that, he put away the Celestial Fate Sword. The two stepped down and descended onto the lake surface. On the vast expanse, ancient sailboats constantly floated. On each small boat, there were figures. Moreover, the people here were almost all youths, their auras restrained. But Lin Feng could sense that these people were no ordinary individuals.
"Judging by this situation, this is probably no ordinary romantic gathering." Lin Feng thought to himself. His gaze looked toward the Phoenix Pavilion in the lake. A line of beautiful maidens danced gracefully, their postures exquisite. What amazed Lin Feng even more was that these dancing beauties all had very powerful cultivation—without exception, they were all at the level of Venerable Lord or above. They could not be dismissed as mere courtesans.
"Guang Han celestial maidens, descending to the mortal world, a dance that topples cities." A clear voice drifted along the lakeside. Lin Feng turned his gaze and saw a young man playing the zither before the Phoenix Pavilion. This man wore a white robe, his ten fingers slender, dancing over the zither strings.
"You flatter me, Young Master Qin Shang." On the Phoenix Pavilion, a beautiful woman also played a tune. Their zither melodies merged—no decadent sounds, no worldly meaning, only that transcendent realm. Lin Feng secretly sighed at the wonder of it.
Green smoke curled upward, like mist rising from the water, drifting before the speaking woman. Her white dress was clean, a light veil covered her face, like a person in a painting.
"Misty waves stretch vast, a beauty plays the zither—wonderful." A young man shook a folding fan, his complexion fair, appearing romantic and unrestrained. He smiled lightly and said: "I wonder when the Guang Han Palace will appear, giving us the opportunity to behold this ancient celestial palace and all its fairy maidens."
"Could it be that Young Master Bai wishes to enter Guang Han?" The veiled woman said with a smile, her gaze falling on the speaker. Those autumn waves exposed outside her veil were enough to stir hearts.
"If there is a fairy maiden who can move my heart, I would willingly enter Guang Han." The fair-complexioned young man smiled, his voice without any fluctuation. Many people around them subtly moved their eyes. This Guang Han Palace was indeed extraordinary. Having disappeared for a thousand years, now appearing again, both Qin Shang and Bai Qi recognized them easily, showing that they had never truly vanished.
The surrounding youths had all come upon hearing the news. Having heard that Guang Han Palace might reappear in Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, many outstanding figures of the ancient capital came here. Sure enough, they saw the long-vanished Guang Han dance. The dance was graceful, yet gave people a feeling of being too high for the cold—somewhat desolate and cold, somewhat intoxicating.
"So it's Guang Han Palace." Langxie's heart stirred upon hearing this name. Although Guang Han Palace could not compare to the Ancient Realm Clan, it was quite famous in Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital. It was filled with beautiful women, each one stunning. Even the women dancing on the Phoenix Pavilion at this moment were all extraordinary.
Lin Feng was not familiar with the forces of Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital. This Guang Han Palace was somewhat similar to the Guang Han Palace of ancient myths from his previous life, though he understood they could not be compared.
"Then this young lady will await you all at Guang Han Palace. Three days from now, Guang Han Palace will reappear in Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital." The woman said slowly. The curling zither sounds gradually receded, as if coming to an end. Splashing sounds rang out as the entire Phoenix Pavilion sank into the lake. Moments later, it was completely submerged and disappeared. Those beautiful women of Guang Han Palace also all vanished without a trace.
No one found this strange. Small boats swayed, drifting with the waves.
"It seems they are creating momentum for Guang Han Palace's reappearance." Langxie said softly. Although the Phoenix Pavilion had disappeared, the zither sounds still curled into the ears, gripping the heart. Young Master Qin Shang's zither music had not stopped, and his small boat moved forward toward Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital.
The zither sounds gradually grew heavier, no longer so carefree. They actually gave the surrounding people a powerful oppressive force, causing fewer people to be able to advance alongside Young Master Qin Shang's boat. Many fell behind.
One person stepped forward from beside him, his ancient sailboat accelerating. But Young Master Qin Shang plucked a string, and a terrifying zither note leaped in the void, like a heavy hammer smashing into the other's heart. At the same time, the lake water exploded, waves surged, wanting to destroy the other's ancient sailboat.
The man released his aura, condensing a light screen in the void. His palm trembled slightly, and the water waves ahead froze and stopped. With a crashing sound, they returned to the lake.
Figures stepped on small boats, surging forward rapidly. Young Master Qin Shang's zither strings did not stop, and great waves rolled. Each zither note character that leaped seemed to contain terrifying power, as if ancient characters were imprinted from the sky, transforming into golden ancient seals or terrifying ancient peaks.
The young man called Bai Qi was closest to him, but at this moment, his entire body was filled with killing intent, transforming into a terrifying killing vortex that enveloped himself and his small boat. All the ancient sound characters that descended were shattered and broken.
"Boom!" One person's surroundings seemed to be shattered by the zither notes. His small boat was engulfed by the waves, and he appeared somewhat dejected, stopping his advance, standing in place watching the figures ahead.
"These people are in quite a good mood, actually sparring directly on the lake." Lin Feng and Langxie stepped on the waves, advancing as Lin Feng smiled.
"Many of the people who came here are outstanding young figures of Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital. Since they've gathered together, a contest is inevitable. In a few days, gathering at Guang Han Palace will give them more confidence." The eliminated person responded, looking ahead.
"If one has strength, one has strength. Why go through sparring contests to show confidence? Perhaps it's just a confrontation between two people, and the others are caught up in it." Lin Feng said with a faint smile. That Qin Shang was clearly more targeting Bai Qi, while others trying to cross were intercepted by the zither sounds.
Hearing Lin Feng's words, that person's expression darkened. His sharp eyes turned toward Lin Feng and Langxie, revealing a trace of killing intent.
Langxie sensed this killing intent and turned his gaze. His profound pupils were like a bottomless abyss, causing the man's eyes to tremble violently.
"Let's head to the ancient capital first." Langxie said calmly. Then the three of them rose into the air, not crossing the lake surface but stepping through the void, as fast as lightning.
However, just as they passed over the heads of those below, suddenly a storm of killing intent rushed toward the sky. Several zither notes leaped, like ancient sounds directly striking the hearts of Langxie and the other two, causing their hearts to tremble slightly. At the same time, terrifying water wave ancient seals blasted toward the sky, wanting to engulf Lin Feng and the others.
Langxie's palm trembled, and a terrifying suction force directly swallowed the terrifying waves. At the same time, terrifying realm light spread, rushing downward, burying the entire lake surface within the realm light. With a booming explosion, the waves below burst apart, and along with the realm light, they enveloped that space, creating a terrifying vortex below. Everyone spun with that vortex.
His palm suddenly clenched, and the vortex exploded. The water waves violently battered the crowd, small boats tumbled on the lake, while the realm light surged back into Langxie's palm. The three figures in the void continued forward, in the blink of an eye leaving only a few shadows.
"So powerful." The person behind felt his heart pound, his expression changing uncertainly. When the lake surface calmed down, Qin Shang and Bai Qi no longer contended. Their gazes looked into the distance at the disappearing figures, their eyes flickering.
"People from the Ancient Realm Clan have come out." Qin Shang murmured softly, then a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. It seemed Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital was becoming more and more lively!
