# Chapter 1717: The Prodigy That Shocked the Ancient Capital
After the transaction was completed, the old man and the ancient demon beast Suanni left with Lin Feng, disappearing from the Cang Clan's territory.
The old man brought Lin Feng back to the Guang Han Palace area. On the way, they encountered Jun Moxi and Qing Feng, who were rushing toward the Cang Clan. Lin Feng stopped and said to the old man, "Senior, you all return to the Demon Realm. The Cang Clan wouldn't dare to truly harm me; they only wanted the demon melody on me."
"En, I doubt they have the guts either." The old man spoke slowly, then left with the ancient demon beast Suanni.
Lin Feng smiled at Jun Moxi and Lang Xie, who had come to meet him, then stepped forward and said, "Moxi, you came from Holy City Central Continent this time. Is there something going on?"
"I actually came for the Tian Yan Holy Clan, but it seems I'm too late. I didn't expect to run into you, which is a pleasant surprise." Jun Moxi said with a smile. Meeting in the Great World was indeed not easy.
"Lin Feng, this is my divine thought transmission jade slip. It contains my divine thought power. Take it; you can use it to communicate with me via divine thought transmission anytime." Jun Moxi handed Lin Feng a jade slip. Lin Feng accepted it without ceremony. In the Great World, many powerful forces and formidable families had such specialized divine thought transmission jade slips, which were quite valuable. They could seal the divine thought power of multiple people. Ordinary people couldn't even obtain them; only the direct descendants of major forces possessed them.
This kind of divine thought transmission jade slip was much more convenient than the one Mu Chen had left on Lin Feng back then. They sealed their divine thought power within the jade slip, so if Lin Feng spoke into the jade slip, Jun Moxi's main body could sense it and reply through the wisp of divine thought sealed there. In contrast, the divine thought power Mu Chen had left on Lin Feng could only appear when Lin Feng crushed the jade slip, allowing a single conversation.
The space of the Great World was too stable, unlike the Small World. There, Martial Emperor level experts could possess more terrifying power, tearing through space and even penetrating their divine thought into the void. But in the Great World, Martial Emperor level experts couldn't do that.
"Not a bad item." Lin Feng smiled, then said to Lang Xie and Qing Feng, "You two also seal a wisp of your divine thought into the jade slip, so we can communicate over long distances."
"Alright." Lang Xie and Qing Feng nodded slightly, each sealing a wisp of their divine thought power into the divine thought jade slip Jun Moxi had given Lin Feng. Then, Lin Feng also sealed a wisp of his own divine thought into it.
"I'll seal a wisp of my divine thought in there too. Lin Feng, if you need anything, you can come find me." Duanmu Chun, the Heavenly Emperor, had also arrived and said to Lin Feng with a smile.
"In that case, thank you, Senior." Lin Feng handed the jade slip to Duanmu Chun. For a Heavenly Emperor level expert to be willing to leave his divine thought for him was a great honor. In those major forces, even within the same clan or family, those with weaker cultivation couldn't obtain the divine thought of the clan's strong ones. Those old monsters didn't have that much free time.
"Lin Feng, come back to Flame Gold City when you have time." The Purple Gold Long Robe Master said with a smile. Lin Feng nodded and replied, "I definitely will."
"Alright, we'll take our leave now." Duanmu Chun said, then his body trembled, and he left with the Purple Gold Artifact Refining Master.
"Lang Xie, Moxi, how about you come with me to the Demon Realm for a few days?" Lin Feng said to Jun Moxi and Lang Xie.
"No, I didn't come alone this time. I should return to Holy City Central Continent." Jun Moxi shook his head and said, "Lin Feng, among the eighteen main cities of Qingxiao Land, Holy City Central Continent is one of the three central ones. Its forces are even more numerous and stronger than Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital. A hundred schools of thought contend, and there are several terrifying holy academies that nurture the prodigies from all directions of Qingxiao Land."
"Academies?" Lin Feng was quite surprised. The Great World had academies? He hadn't seen any before.
"Yes, academies. But these aren't like the so-called Snow Moon Holy Academy of your Snow Moon Kingdom. On the Nine Heavens Continent, only extremely powerful forces dare to call themselves academies. In Qingxiao, only the three central main cities have academies. And every single academy is a cradle of geniuses. In fact, in Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, many prodigious descendants of the ancient clans are also cultivating hard in academies, whether they are Martial Emperors or Great Emperors."
"He's right. I also plan to go to Holy City Central Continent sooner or later." Lang Xie confirmed Jun Moxi's words. Among the eighteen main cities of Qingxiao Continent, only the three central main cities like Holy City Central Continent had academies. This alone showed the nobility of the academies.
"Great Emperors as students." Lin Feng's heart trembled slightly, and he revealed a faint smile. "It really is different from where we came from."
"Of course." Jun Moxi smiled. This was the Great World, the Qingxiao Land of the Nine Heavens Continent. It had taken him a full five years to travel from the borderlands to Holy City Central Continent, enduring countless dangers along the way.
"I'll go take a look in a while." Lin Feng said with a smile. Now that he had obtained the demon technique, his cultivation wasn't completely stable yet. He would need to spend a long time tempering it.
"Alright, I'm off. Find me anytime if something comes up." Jun Moxi said with a smile. Since they had left the divine thought transmission jade slip, meeting in the future would be much easier. They wouldn't be unable to find each other in the vast Great World.
"Take some wine to drink while you're at it." Lin Feng nodded with a smile, took out some Blazing Essence Wine, and handed it to Jun Moxi. Smelling the aroma of the wine, Jun Moxi took a deep sniff, as if returning to the old days. It was still so warm. Though time had passed, he had never regretted anything.
"It's a pity it's just the two of us. When we have time, let's go home together." Jun Moxi said cheerfully, then turned and left. His long robe fluttered, so free and unrestrained.
The experts of the Nether King Palace naturally followed Jun Moxi as he left. Lang Xie looked at Lin Feng and smiled. "I'm off too. Find me when you have time."
With that, Lang Xie's figure moved, and he also left this place. Lin Feng watched the departing figures, then smiled at Qing Feng. "Let's return to the Demon Realm."
"En." Qing Feng nodded. The storm at Guang Han Palace had come to a quiet end because of interests. But it seemed this was only the beginning.
The next day, Guang Han Palace did not break its promise. It sent the ancient scriptures to the Chu Clan, the Cang Clan, and other ancient saint clans. Everything seemed calm.
On the third day, Guang Han Palace sent the ancient scriptures to the ancient clans that were not ancient saint clans. Still calm.
But just when everyone thought everything was over, on the fourth day, two Saint Emperor level madmen from Guang Han Palace set foot on the Xing Clan. They roared, shaking heaven and earth, shattering the world. The Chu Clan madman's Heaven Devouring Ancient Scripture was released without restraint, devouring the spiritual will of the Xing Clan's experts, making it impossible for them to escape. The other Saint Emperor intercepted and killed. In half an hour, the ancient clan Xing Clan was erased from Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital. However, a few extremely powerful Emperor level experts managed to break through the encirclement with their terrifying footwork, walking without boundaries. The two Saint Emperors didn't manage to kill everyone.
The news hadn't spread yet. Only people within a thousand li of the Xing Clan knew that the Xing Clan had been destroyed. The two madmen left and set foot on the second ancient clan. It was still a disaster.
On the fifth day, when the news spread, Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital was in turmoil. Everyone's hearts were filled with shock. In just one day yesterday, six ancient clans had been erased. Only very few people had escaped, along with those who weren't in the clan at the time. The rest were either killed by having their will devoured or were slaughtered. These ancient clans were all the family forces that had participated in threatening Guang Han Palace to hand over the ancient scriptures. And Guang Han Palace had indeed sent the ancient scripture books to them. But they probably never expected to face such a catastrophic disaster the very next day.
Everyone in Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital was rendered speechless by Xi Emperor's thunderous methods. Was this the boldness a woman possessed? But thinking about how Xi Emperor had died for the Dao and collected all kinds of powerful ancient scriptures in Guang Han Palace, everyone understood. That stunningly beautiful city-toppling woman was a madwoman, a martial arts madwoman.
Even the people of the ancient saint clans were startled by Xi Emperor's thunderous methods. Forcibly attacking six ancient clans and annihilating them — those two madmen were too terrifying. But Xi Emperor probably wouldn't touch their ancient saint clans.
The six ancient clans had turned into historical smoke, truly shaking Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital for a long time. But as time passed, things gradually calmed down. New forces began to sprout and grow.
For Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, a year and a half seemed very short. Almost everyone here was a Martial Emperor level expert. Five hundred days or so was indeed relatively short. During this time, many things happened in the ancient capital. For example, many people in the Cang Clan began to cultivate demonic techniques, combining them with the Heavenly Scripture for cultivation. Their attack power became even more ferocious and boundless. A more obvious example was the young generation expert Cang Xiao, who had several brilliant battle records in the ancient capital.
But Cang Xiao's brilliance was soon overshadowed by another person. It wasn't a King Body. It was Chu Clan's Chu Chunqiu!
Chu Chunqiu had broken through to Mid-rank Emperor! In a year and a half, he had gone from Low-rank Emperor to Mid-rank Emperor. When this news spread, the people of the ancient capital were rendered speechless. What kind of cultivation speed was this?
What had the Chu Clan done to Chu Chunqiu over the past year or so?
Cultivating both the Heaven Devouring Scripture and the Heavenly Derivation Scripture at the same time — could it allow for faster breakthroughs?
No one knew the reason. But although Chu Chunqiu wasn't a King Body, many people already regarded him as one. This cultivation speed was simply unheard of. Even the older generation experts were shocked!
