"Chu Chunqiu cultivates the Heaven Devouring Scripture, devouring the will of emperors. Logically, he should go to the Eternal Ancient Academy, but that man is hard to predict; he might go to another academy as well," Jun Moxi said. Lin Feng nodded slightly. Chu Chunqiu was unfathomably deep. In just a year and a half, he had advanced from a Low-rank Emperor to a Mid-rank Emperor. That man was definitely a terrifying figure and was bound to achieve great things.
"Moxi, do you know the news about Chu Chunqiu stepping into the Mid-rank Emperor realm?" Lin Feng asked.
Jun Moxi nodded slightly. "Although I returned to Holy City Central Continent, I still kept an eye on Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital. I learned that Chu Chunqiu reached the Mid-rank Emperor realm in less than two years, while you killed Cang Xiao and then disappeared without a trace. At that time, I guessed you would come to Holy City Central Continent, and sure enough, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly."
"Less than two years?" Great Pest and Tantai showed expressions of shock. Who was so formidable?
"To be precise, it's only a little over a year and a half," Lin Feng said to the two of them, then looked at Jun Moxi and asked, "What do you think of Chu Chunqiu?"
"Very mysterious. I don't know if it was orchestrated by the Chu Clan or if he achieved it through his own strength. If it's the latter, then it's even more terrifying," Jun Moxi replied. This cultivation speed was truly somewhat frightening.
Lin Feng nodded in agreement, smiled, and said, "Let's not talk about him. Let's keep drinking."
With that, the group drank heartily together.
"Refreshing! Martial artists should drink this kind of strong liquor. It burns the heart and ignites the blood," Tantai said cheerfully. It was rare for the four of them to gather together and drink freely.
After drinking for a long time, their faces were slightly flushed. Jun Moxi stood up and smiled. "It's been a long time since I've felt this good. The wine is finished. Let's go out for a walk and let you see some of the figures in the Holy City. They might become your competitors if you want to join one of the academies."
"Alright. Having come to the legendary Holy City Central Continent, I haven't yet experienced its splendor," Lin Feng said with a smile. The group stood up one after another.
"Maybe Great Pest will meet a beauty," Jun Moxi laughed, and the others burst into hearty laughter.
With a flicker of movement, the group began to head out of the Nether King Palace. As the Nether Son, no one dared to interfere with Jun Moxi's actions.
In Holy City Central Continent, there was a place called the Li Palace. It was built in layers, with eight sides of stairs leading to the top. At the summit of the Li Palace, there was a vast area with ancient pavilions, fine wine and delicacies, and even ethereally beautiful young maidens dancing gracefully. However, not just anyone could enter this Li Palace.
At that moment, Jun Moxi and his group arrived at the foot of the Li Palace, but they were stopped by a line of beautiful women. One of them stepped forward lightly and smiled at Jun Moxi. "The Nether Son graces us with his presence. It brings honor to our humble abode."
"These are all my friends. We wish to take a view from the top of the Li Palace," Jun Moxi said with a smile. However, the beautiful woman still did not step aside. She smiled and said, "Nether Son, you are well aware of the Li Palace's rules. May I ask who these young masters are?"
"Is there a problem with me bringing a few friends into the Li Palace?" Jun Moxi said with displeasure.
"Of course, the Nether Son's friends are naturally talented and extraordinary individuals. However, the Li Palace's rules are that no one over forty years old may enter, and no one below the Martial Emperor realm may enter. Please forgive me, Nether Son," the woman said apologetically. Lin Feng was secretly shocked. The Li Palace had such a high threshold. To enter, one had to be under forty and above the Martial Emperor realm. Meeting these two conditions already indicated decent talent. If not for being in Holy City Central Continent, such talent could even be called genius.
"The Li Palace also has rules: exceptions are made for those with extraordinary talent or prominent status, correct?" Jun Moxi said indifferently.
"Since the Nether Son knows this, you should understand my difficulty."
Lin Feng stepped forward with a smile and stood beside the woman. Suddenly, faint rays of light flickered and surged forth, and Lin Feng's body seemed to be wrapped in various colors of light, appearing extremely dazzling.
"Law power. So many law powers." Seeing this, the woman's beautiful eyes flickered with a hint of surprise. Then she smiled and said, "Young master is truly an extraordinary person, simultaneously controlling so many law powers. Even if your cultivation hasn't reached the Martial Emperor realm, once you become an emperor in the future, you will be a multi-element law Martial Emperor with unparalleled talent. The Li Palace can make an exception."
With that, the woman stepped aside. Lin Feng nodded slightly to her, and then the group ascended the Li Palace.
"Carved railings and jade inlays, so lifelike," Tantai said, looking at the sculpted stone pillars on the Li Palace. He sighed, "So this is the Li King Palace. The rules are indeed strict. This is my first time here."
"Yes, the Li Palace is the Li King Palace. Although the rules are many, the people who come here are indeed extraordinary. You can meet or get to know many talented peers and also learn information that can't be obtained elsewhere," Jun Moxi said with a smile. The group followed the stairs upward. In the huge ancient pavilion, figures could be seen faintly.
After a while, they climbed the layered stairs and arrived at the summit of the Li Palace. On the vast expanse of land, many people were seated in various positions, seemingly engaged in a discussion. No one seemed to glance their way.
A beautiful woman came forward to guide them, leading Jun Moxi and the other three to sit at a stone table. The four of them followed the custom and sat cross-legged on the ground. On the stone table before them were fine wine and delicacies.
"Holy City Central Continent has always been a place where prodigies emerge. It is the most important celestial main city of Qingxiao Land, a place of great competition among talents. Battle is paramount. Whoever can defeat the heroes of the world can be enfeoffed as a king. All methods prioritize battle; everything is for battle. Among the four academies, the War King Academy is naturally the first choice."
At that moment, a young man exuded a battle intent and spoke eloquently, seemingly discussing matters related to the four academies.
"The War King Academy is named after battle. Does that necessarily mean its combat strength is superior? If so, why is the one who became king in this generation Ying Cheng, a member of the Heavenly God Academy?" someone retorted. "All paths are methods. Which martial artist can do without techniques and divine abilities? Methods are the foundation of martial cultivation. If methods are strong, combat strength naturally follows."
"Since the establishment of the four academies in Holy City Central Continent, for countless years, people have debated what the kingly path of cultivation for martial artists is. The four academies have also been in constant conflict. However, on the path of martial arts, no matter which road one takes, there are strong and weak. Where is the fundamental distinction of strength and weakness? Ying Cheng became king. Although he is from the Heavenly God Academy and his divine abilities and laws are extremely terrifying, who can deny Ying Cheng's battle intent and his formidable spiritual will?"
Another person spoke, believing that such a debate was meaningless.
"If everyone thought like you, wouldn't everyone go to the Spring and Autumn Academy? The Spring and Autumn Academy balances all paths. But don't forget, although the Spring and Autumn Academy is one of the four academies, in terms of the figures it has produced and its reputation, it has always been the weaker among the four," the previous speaker retorted.
"Each has its strengths. Martial artists all have paths suited to themselves," the others expressed their opinions one after another. Meanwhile, Lin Feng fell into deep thought. Martial artists cultivate various means. To say which path is the most suitable is indeed hard to judge. Take himself, for example. He seemed to dabble in all paths, but it made him somewhat scattered, causing his cultivation speed to be less than ideal. However, his combat strength was absolutely formidable because he had many methods.
This question seemed to have no value for debate; everyone had their own views. But in reality, it was quite profound and thought-provoking. Lin Feng had thought about it before but had never figured it out. So he always took it step by step, spending time and energy cultivating whichever method seemed strong.
"The Nether Son has arrived. What are your insights?" At that moment, someone turned their gaze to Jun Moxi and asked with a smile.
"I have shallow knowledge of martial arts. I cultivate whatever can improve my strength, whether it's the physical body, battle intent, divine abilities, or spiritual will and soul," Jun Moxi said with a low laugh. His words seemed like nonsense, but no one laughed. Many people chewed on his words. The one who had asked the question smiled and said, "Well said. As long as it improves strength, why bother deliberately choosing? Follow your own strengths and let nature take its course."
"Let's not discuss this path anymore. I believe everyone here has their own way. If you haven't entered an academy, think it over carefully," the man continued with a smile. "The people beside the Nether Son, who might they be?"
"They are all my brothers and friends," Jun Moxi said casually. "This is Lin Feng and Huangfu Long, brothers I've known for years. This is Tantai, also my friend."
"Tantai. I saw him outside the Heavenly God Academy last time. He coveted the fairy maiden of the Snow Clan and was chased away. I didn't expect him to be the Nether Son's friend," someone said calmly with a smile, causing Tantai and Great Pest to turn their gazes toward that person with cold expressions.
"I heard that Brother Shang tried to enter various academies four times in the past year, participating in every assessment but failing repeatedly. Meanwhile, some here are already academy members, and others have the ability to enter an academy in one try. Yet Brother Shang is here. That's something I didn't expect either," Jun Moxi said coldly with a smile.
"My cultivation is insufficient. I use the academy assessments to temper myself. What's wrong with that?" The man showed displeasure, as Jun Moxi had exposed his scar.
"The name Lin Feng sounds familiar to me," another person said softly, drawing everyone's attention to him.
This person looked at Lin Feng and smiled. "Are you, sir, from Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital?"
"Exactly," Lin Feng replied with a smile.
"I see. I heard that Brother Lin used the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard and the Sun Saint Clan's Eight Treasures Sun Wheel to kill dozens of Martial Emperors from the Cang Clan, an ancient saint clan of Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, including many Mid-rank Emperors. Even Cang Xiao, a direct descendant of the Cang Clan, was killed by you. Quite a record," the man said with a meaningful smile, looking at Lin Feng. He hadn't expected to meet the rumored Heaven-Forsaken One here in Holy City Central Continent, and indeed, he was not yet at the Martial Emperor realm.
"You flatter me," Lin Feng replied calmly, which made Great Pest and Tantai look at him in surprise. This guy had actually killed many Martial Emperors, including Mid-rank Emperors.
"The Heaven-Forsaken One of Cold Moon Lake, Lin Feng." Many people recalled the name and turned their gazes to Lin Feng. Most of those present were from major clans. They paid attention to any of the eighteen celestial main cities. If there was a major event, they would know. Several things had caused quite a stir in Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital.
First, the Chu Clan produced a prodigy, Chu Chunqiu. Additionally, two King Body individuals, the Divine Seal King Body and the Realm King Body, had emerged.
Second, the Heaven-Forsaken One, Lin Feng, encountered an imperial tribulation and was forsaken by heaven, but he controlled seven types of law power, obtained the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard, and killed many strong members of the Sun Saint Clan and the Cang Clan.
Third, the Guang Han Palace reappeared in Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital. The Xi Emperor was reborn, and the Nine Nether Demon Emperor appeared. The Guang Han Palace was filled with countless strong members and stunning fairy maidens.
These were the main events. Thus, the name Lin Feng held a small place in everyone's minds!
