# Chapter 1833: Wen Huang's Visit
"Sword Emperor Ancestor." The people of the Sword Pavilion, seeing Wutian Potian return, all called out with utmost respect. Had he truly reached the Great Emperor realm?
Lin Feng's gaze congealed on Skyless Sword Emperor, only to see a faint smile at the corner of the other's mouth. "Everything has its destiny. The good karma I planted in the past, I never imagined it would actually bear good fruit. Lin Feng, my thanks to you."
Skyless Sword Emperor had been injured for so long. His enemies had already stepped into the Great Emperor realm, while he had been aging step by step, gradually approaching the point of a withered lamp and dry well. Yet he had never expected that the good karma he had formed with Lin Feng back then would now truly bring him rebirth—not only restoring his injuries but also breaking through to achieve the Great Emperor realm.
"It is all the senior's own merit." Lin Feng said with a smile. "The Emperor realm is not something others can help the senior with."
"It can also be considered fate and coincidence. Having been silent for a thousand years, my heart had long seen through the vicissitudes of the world. My body was about to age and rust. I never imagined this would instead become an opportunity, using the power of divine blood to step into the Great Emperor realm in one go." Skyless Sword Emperor sighed with emotion. He had never expected that the blood of the Heavenly Ze Divine Tree would not only repair his body but also allow him to break through smoothly.
At this moment, a strand of strange power shimmered on Skyless Sword Emperor's body. It was none other than the power of the realm. With a thought, the realm force continuously materialized, taking on the former appearance of the Sword Pavilion. Then the Sword Emperor waved his hand, and a huge ancient sword wrapped the realm force, forging an identical small world.
"Let's talk inside." Skyless Sword Emperor stepped into the realm with Lin Feng. The people of the Sword Pavilion followed one after another. The Sword Pavilion had regained its former appearance, but Skyless Sword Emperor did not return to the gloomy Sword Tomb. Instead, he came to a sword peak and sat down on the ground with Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, do you know why I was injured?" Skyless Sword Emperor spoke to Lin Feng. Lin Feng shook his head but said, "I only know that the senior seems to have some connection with Sword Mountain."
"It seems you really did go to Sword Mountain." Skyless Sword Emperor murmured softly, looking at the confusion in Lin Feng's eyes. Then he spoke, "No one knew about my whereabouts in the small world, but a few years ago, my enemy found me. And he is now the master of Sword Mountain. He must have seen you and observed your sword dao."
Lin Feng's expression congealed slightly. He said, "I did go to Sword Mountain. Once, I accidentally released the Skyless Sword Intent. Later, someone from Sword Mountain actually plotted against me. I never understood why until now. So it was because of the senior. However, the master of Sword Mountain, Iron Sword Great Emperor, should not have paid attention to me."
"Not just him. Some of the elder figures of Sword Mountain, upon seeing your Skyless Sword Intent, might think of me and pass the message to Iron Sword. Because they all recognize me." Skyless Sword Emperor said calmly. Looking at the puzzled Lin Feng, he continued, "The master of Sword Mountain, who is now the Iron Sword Great Emperor, is my senior brother."
"Senior brother!" Lin Feng's pupils contracted slightly. So it turned out that Skyless Sword Emperor had once joined Sword Mountain.
"In the past, when our master passed away, he passed on the sword canon, which only the master of Sword Mountain could cultivate, to me, but not to my senior brother. The master's intention was clear without words. Because of this, my senior brother and I became enemies. After the master's death, we were irreconcilable. He forced me to hand over the sword scripture. I naturally refused to disobey the master's orders. So there was a decisive battle. In that battle, I lost. My senior brother was already close to achieving the Emperor position at that time. Although my realm was also strong, I was ultimately severely wounded. I traveled everywhere seeking to heal my injuries, but they only grew worse. And my senior brother pursued and hunted me everywhere. Finally, somewhat disheartened, I returned to the small world."
Skyless Sword Emperor spoke calmly. "But I never imagined that today, I could still gain new life, and even step into the Great Emperor realm. Lin Feng, for all this, I must thank you."
"The senior has shown me kindness, teaching me sword cultivation, treating me as a teacher, and even twice walking out of the Sword Pavilion with a severely wounded body for my sake. Such kindness, how could I not repay it like a gushing spring? In this matter, I only did my part. Additionally, I have an ancient scripture on me, which I present to the senior. That way, the senior might one day return to Sword Mountain and reclaim what is rightfully his."
Lin Feng said with a smile. Skyless Sword Emperor did not pay it much mind. Lin Feng's ancient scripture probably wouldn't be very suitable for him. But of course, he wouldn't refuse Lin Feng's goodwill. He laughed and said, "Coincidentally, I also have a sword scripture for you."
The two smiled knowingly at each other. Then their divine thoughts rippled as they 'exchanged' scriptures—of course, both were sincere.
"Void Sword Scripture: Guide the sword with intent, intent merged with heaven." Lin Feng received the sword scripture, his pupils congealing slightly. This was actually a strange scripture, with a vastly different cultivation method and terrifying power.
"Heavenly Derivation Scripture." At this moment, Skyless Sword Emperor exclaimed in surprise, a look of shock appearing on his face. A terrifying light shot from his eyes as he stared at Lin Feng, waves of turmoil rolling in his heart. He hadn't paid much attention when Lin Feng presented the ancient scripture, but upon receiving it, he was truly startled. It was actually the Heavenly Derivation Scripture.
"Has the senior also heard of the Heavenly Derivation Scripture?" Lin Feng asked. Skyless Sword Emperor's mouth curled into a faint bitter smile. "Lin Feng, I thought this time I would be repaying you, but I never expected you to take out the Heavenly Derivation Scripture. It seems I owe you even more."
"Senior, please don't say that." Lin Feng shook his head. Skyless Sword Emperor was not one to be rigid about such things. He laughed heartily and stopped dwelling on it. Instead, his spirits soared as he spoke, "Lin Feng, with the Void Sword Scripture and now your Heavenly Derivation Scripture, stepping into Sword Mountain is only a matter of time."
"Naturally." Lin Feng laughed. Skyless Sword Emperor was originally a rare genius. Five thousand years ago, he had dominated the small world, forging his own sword dao path with terrifying talent. Now, with the Sword Mountain treasure, the Void Sword Scripture, and cultivating the Heavenly Derivation Scripture, surpassing Iron Sword Great Emperor was only a matter of time.
"Senior, since matters here are concluded, I'll take my leave first. I'll come to see you another day." Lin Feng had finished everything here. Skyless Sword Emperor breaking through to Great Emperor was even better than he had expected. Naturally, he had no regrets. As for Sword Mountain, Skyless Sword Emperor would deal with them himself in the future—perhaps even take control of Sword Mountain, since Skyless Sword Emperor was the rightful heir of Sword Mountain.
"Very well." Skyless Sword Emperor nodded slightly. Then Lin Feng stood up and flickered away.
"Young Master." After a moment, Sword Tomb came forward, hesitating as if wanting to speak.
"What is it?" Lin Feng asked.
"Wen Huang of the Wen family in Central Wasteland, along with some people from the Sikong family, have come. They are inquiring about Sword Emperor Ancestor." Sword Tomb said. Lin Feng's expression flickered, and then he asked, "Where are they?"
"They are still outside. I came specifically to report to the Young Master. Should I bring them into the Sword Pavilion?" Sword Tomb sought advice. The Wen family and Sikong family dared not move against the Sword Pavilion because of Skyless Sword Emperor's might. But Sword Tomb also didn't want to offend them, since the ones who had come were two Martial Emperor figures. Although Skyless Sword Emperor had stepped into the Great Emperor realm and could destroy heaven and earth with a wave of his hand, he had never involved himself in the affairs of the Sword Pavilion—that was an indisputable fact.
"No need. From now on, unless you willingly allow it, no one is to set foot in the Sword Pavilion. The Sword Pavilion does not need to act according to others' expressions." Lin Feng's sharp gaze seemed to see through Sword Tomb's thoughts. He said indifferently, "I happen to want to see them."
With that, Lin Feng led the people of the Sword Pavilion outside.
Outside the Sword Pavilion, there were many people. Among them, one person stood majestically, none other than the former Wen Huang, now with even more brilliance. Besides Wen Huang, the Martial Emperor of the Sikong family had also arrived, though it was not the Sikong Martial Emperor of the past.
At this moment, light flickered, and the people of the Sword Pavilion walked out of the small world. At the lead was a young man, elegant and extraordinary, with an outstanding bearing. Seeing this young man, several people from the Wen family and Sikong family had their pupils contract slightly. Especially Wen Huang, whose eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light. In the past, he had followed Lin Feng and the others into the Great World. Later, when everything calmed down, he and his father had returned to take control of matters here.
"Lin Feng!" Brilliant light shone in Wen Huang's eyes as he stared at the young man. Lin Feng had actually returned to the Eight Wastelands.
"Wen Huang, it's been a while." Lin Feng spoke with a smile. Wen Huang's gaze congealed on Lin Feng, sizing him up. Venerable Martial—Lin Feng was still only at the peak of the Venerable Martial realm, not yet a Martial Emperor. How interesting. Wen Aoxue of his Wen family had already become a Martial Emperor, yet Lin Feng was still standing still.
"Lin Feng, it's been many years. How have you become so impolite? At least you should call me senior." Wen Huang said with a smile. But his tone carried a feeling that made Lin Feng very uncomfortable, as if there was some smugness.
