# Chapter 1815: Heavenly Terrace Expansion
The crowd did not leave. Their eyes were fixed on the rows of palaces ahead, silent. But this silence carried a chilling sensation, making their bodies feel slightly cold.
As for those who had wanted to join the Heavenly Terrace, aside from these corpses, the others seemed to have vanished as well. Not a single person had emerged. If nothing had happened to them, then this level of order was truly terrifying.
"What are those people doing inside the Heavenly Terrace right now?" the crowd wondered silently. This eerie and mysterious situation sent chills down their spines.
At that moment, within one of the many palaces of the Heavenly Terrace, there was also a secret chamber palace. Inside this secret chamber palace were many jade slips, and within these jade slips were numerous divine ability techniques. When those who had been recruited saw these techniques, and after witnessing the young people of the Heavenly Terrace unleash these attacks, they no longer had any intention of leaving. They might have previously harbored thoughts of obtaining ancient scriptures and then fleeing, but now, such thoughts no longer existed.
Too powerful. Any random divine ability technique possessed unimaginable might. Although they had never entered Azure Emperor Mountain to become martial cultivators there, they understood that even the martial cultivators of Azure Emperor Mountain could absolutely not cultivate such formidable divine ability techniques. And now, within this mysterious force, there were many such techniques, freely available for them to choose and cultivate.
And this was only the beginning. The strength of these young people was excessively formidable. Even if they were both at the mid-rank emperor realm, their combat power could easily crush those of the same realm. As for the emperor scriptures they cultivated, everyone here was filled with anticipation.
However, today, upon hearing the Second Senior Brother's instructions, they were establishing the Heavenly Terrace here, dividing it into inner and outer disciples. Those who newly joined the Heavenly Terrace were all outer disciples, regardless of their cultivation level. Only after accumulating certain merits and passing a review could they become inner disciples. Once they entered the inner sect, they would be taught emperor scriptures.
Moreover, it did not stop there. Above the inner sect, the Heavenly Terrace had core disciples. These people were equivalent to the sect's elders. Once they advanced, they would receive comprehensive teachings, including even more powerful emperor scriptures and divine ability techniques.
Inside a great hall, Lin Feng and the others sat casually. Lin Feng said to Jun Moxi, "Moxi, your Heavenly Nether Technique is quite unique, making them unable to hide."
"This is originally a divine ability technique targeting a person's will. However, it is useless against those whose will is more tenacious than mine. I wouldn't normally use this method either." Jun Moxi smiled and said, "Lin Feng, by enticing them with benefits like this, can we win their loyalty?"
"In the martial world, everything revolves around profit. If we have no benefits to offer them, they won't join the Heavenly Terrace. And once we stop providing benefits, they will leave. Therefore, as long as we keep them tempted with sufficient benefits, they will work for the Heavenly Terrace." Lin Feng said calmly.
"Well said. Expecting them to be like us is impossible. What we want is a kind of order, not their loyalty." Hou Qinglin agreed with Lin Feng's words, nodding.
"Then what should we do next?" Yuan Fei's eyes flashed with a cold gleam. He wished he could charge into Qi Tian Fortress. Those bastards controlled the people who had come out of the small world, manipulating their fates.
"No rush. Qi Tian Fortress must be uprooted entirely." Lin Feng's eyes also flickered with cold light. Among these Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses, although they all wanted to compete for control of the small world, some forces had no direct conflict with him. However, some forces absolutely had to be destroyed. Qi Tian Fortress would be the first to be wiped out.
Besides Qi Tian Fortress, there was also the white-bearded old man of the Medicine King Immortal Palace, a mid-rank emperor. To this day, that person's face was still vivid in Lin Feng's memory. He remembered clearly the scene of his teacher kneeling back then. If this grudge was not avenged, Lin Feng's heart would not be at ease. The words spoken back then still echoed in his ears: one day, he would set foot in the Medicine King Immortal Palace.
In the following days, the Heavenly Terrace remained quiet, with no major movements. However, within the rows of sleeping palaces and courtyards of the Heavenly Terrace, figures began to appear. These were the people who had joined the Heavenly Terrace in the past few days. Moreover, as those who had joined the Heavenly Terrace stayed behind closed doors, more people became curious. What kind of magic power made them so docile and willing to join the Heavenly Terrace?
The result was that more people began to join the Heavenly Terrace. Whether out of curiosity or the temptation of the Heavenly Terrace's ancient scriptures, once they set foot in the Heavenly Terrace, they never came out. Very quiet.
In fact, the crowd even discovered that two mid-rank emperor rogue cultivators had entered the Heavenly Terrace. And they, too, remained inside the Heavenly Terrace, not coming out again in the following days.
There was another thing that made the crowd's hearts tremble. The Heavenly Terrace was still expanding, extending outward in all directions, growing larger and larger. Moreover, the entire Heavenly Terrace began to be enveloped in a faint, illusory realm. Looking at it was like seeing flowers in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water, like a mirage, appearing unreal and dreamlike.
This made the crowd understand that a formation master had inscribed an array dao across the entire Heavenly Terrace. They suddenly remembered the Purple Star Meteorites the Heavenly Terrace had purchased. Those mineral veins had strong compatibility with array dao, as if they had already considered this when constructing the Heavenly Terrace's palaces. Now, this continuous stretch of palaces had been inscribed with a powerful grand formation by a strong practitioner. This also made people begin to re-evaluate the Heavenly Terrace's strength. This mysteriously rising force seemed to have terrifying foundations. Such a grand array dao was something even the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses did not possess.
And now, the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses had truly begun to pay attention to this rising force. Even the fortress lords could no longer afford to ignore it.
On this day, the people of the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses also gathered in this buffer zone, convening an alliance meeting.
At this moment, on a wide open space, people from various parties had arrived. They were all powerful figures from the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses who dominated their regions. Many mid-rank emperors had shown themselves.
"Qi Tian Fortress has invited us here. I wonder what business we have?" At this moment, a strong practitioner from Wen Tian Fortress asked knowingly, his gaze fixed on the middle-aged man from Qi Tian Fortress. This man was the current helmsman of Qi Tian Fortress's external affairs, Qi Yunlin. In the past, Qi Yunsheng had died at the hands of Yao Ye Island, and Qi Yunlei had been crippled. After that, Qi Yunlin began his rise to power. He suppressed Qi Yunxiao and took control of Qi Tian Fortress's external matters.
"Brother Wen, aren't you asking knowingly? The mysterious Heavenly Terrace has risen in this region and seems to have killed people from Wen Tian Fortress, hasn't it?" Qi Yunlin said calmly.
"Qi Yuchen from your Qi Tian Fortress was a martial cultivator of Azure Emperor Mountain, yet he was sent flying with a single move. You people sure have patience, letting the Heavenly Terrace run wild." The strong practitioner from Wen Tian Fortress smiled calmly, a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Upon hearing the sarcasm from the Wen Tian Fortress man, Qi Yunlin's expression showed a trace of anger, but he quickly suppressed it and said calmly, "The Heavenly Terrace has risen right under our noses, yet we can't even figure out their background. Are all of you really at ease with this?"
"Brother Qi, what do you suggest?" The white-bearded martial emperor from the Medicine King Immortal Palace spoke. This martial emperor was none other than the one who had made Yu Emperor kneel back then, holding a certain status within the Medicine King Immortal Palace.
"I would also like to know Brother Qi's plan." The representative from the Great Zhou Immortal Palace was Zhou Tianxiao, Zhou Tianruo's elder brother. His natural talent was also very formidable. He had entered the martial emperor realm long ago, and his law had now reached the eighth level, continuously advancing toward the mid-rank emperor realm. Many predicted that Zhou Tianxiao would possibly reach the mid-rank emperor realm within ten years. The Great Zhou Immortal Palace placed great importance on Zhou Tianxiao.
"Since the Heavenly Terrace has been established in the buffer zone of our Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses, none of our forces can afford to sit idly by. How about each of us sends some people to the Heavenly Terrace to probe their background? Then we can make other plans. What do you think?"
Qi Yunlin spoke slowly, causing the strong practitioner from Wen Tian Fortress to smile and say, "I've long heard that Qi Yunlin is cautious. It seems to be true. I thought Qi Tian Fortress, having suffered such humiliation, would directly lead people to attack the Heavenly Terrace."
Unfazed by the provocation from the Wen Tian Fortress man, Qi Yunlin remained indifferent. The Heavenly Terrace's origins were mysterious and unfathomable. He had no intention of letting Qi Tian Fortress probe alone.
"I think Brother Qi's words are reasonable. The Heavenly Terrace's origins are mysterious. Moreover, everyone surely remembers Lin Feng, right?" At this moment, a strong practitioner from the Sikong Heavenly Fortress spoke. The crowd fell silent for a moment. Of course, they remembered the name Lin Feng. Back then, Qi Tian Fortress had surrounded and suppressed him but failed to kill him. Even the martial emperor Ni Chen had personally come, yet he still escaped. Later, he brought the demons of Yao Ye Island and descended with overwhelming force, shaking the entire region.
"In Lin Feng's small world, the force he belonged to was the Heavenly Terrace." The strong practitioner from the Sikong Heavenly Fortress said slowly, causing the crowd's eyes to flicker, faint sharpness appearing in them.
"You mean that Lin Feng has returned?" Someone asked.
"I'm just casually mentioning it. I'm sure all of you would find it hard to feel at ease without probing the Heavenly Terrace's background, right?" The strong practitioner from the Sikong Heavenly Fortress smiled. This reasoning was obvious to everyone. This was their territory, and now the Heavenly Terrace had forcefully intervened, already affecting them. Moreover, its influence was still expanding. Only a little over ten days had passed.
"I agree with this suggestion." The strong practitioner from the Great Zhou Immortal Palace spoke. Then, most of the crowd had no objections and nodded one after another.
"Since everyone agrees, let each of us send some people to the Heavenly Terrace." Qi Yunlin said calmly. The crowd had no objections. With the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses arriving together, even if the Heavenly Terrace was mysterious, it surely wouldn't dare to refuse, would it?
