Lin Feng's figure once again appeared on the battlefield of the Immortal Kingdom Trial. The moment he descended, he instantly felt many gazes fixed upon him. The current Immortal Kingdom Trial had become a chaotic melee, with large-scale battles between two sides, yet internal slaughter could not be eliminated either. After all, in times without cross-realm warfare, internal killing and fighting were the norm.
At this moment, Lin Feng's figure flickered, moving forward like a gust of wind. This border region had few strong cultivators from the Nine Heavens Continent, as this was already the entrance area to the Netherworld battlefield. If this place were also continuously occupied by the Nine Heavens Legion, wouldn't that mean the entire Immortal Kingdom had been conquered?
Suddenly, a chill descended upon Lin Feng. His eyes instantly turned, and his pitch-black, deathly cold pupils shot a fierce glare at the other party, causing that person's body to tremble slightly. His expression changed abruptly, and he immediately turned and fled, a ripple of shock rising in his heart. Those eyes were terrifying—as if a single glance could cause death and snatch away one's life.
Lin Feng paid him no mind and continued surging forward. Before long, he arrived at a mountain range. In one part of this mountain range, a massive hole pierced straight through from the void above, as if an incredibly domineering beam of light had penetrated the entire mountain range from top to bottom. This was clearly caused by Lin Feng's breakthrough last time. At the bottom of the hole lay a certain encampment of the Water Moon Cave Heaven.
There was still no one here. This war of conquest had altered the entire terrain of the Immortal Kingdom. Lin Feng found a cave dwelling and began a period of seclusion. The Immortal Kingdom conquest would last an entire year. He planned to first raise his strength a bit more before fighting his way through, which would give him a greater chance of success. Although Lin Feng was now powerful, he did not consider himself invincible in the Immortal Kingdom Trial grounds. After all, figures like Ji Shang were still beyond his ability to contend with. Facing those peak Martial Emperor realm experts, his advantage lay in the Dao of Life and Death. However, Ji Shang's understanding of the Dao was even deeper than his own. The power of the Grand Council Leader was even more terrifying, and even wielding an Imperial Weapon, he could not deal with them.
But now, Lin Feng was confident that among those who had not yet comprehended the Dao, very few could rival him.
Meanwhile, in the Nine Heavens Continent, Qingxiao Land, War King Academy, the people of Heavenly Terrace all felt a wave of pressure bearing down on them.
In the courtyard of Heavenly Terrace, all the disciples were present: Hou Qinglin, Tian Chi, Yun Qingyan, Tantai, Jing Shou, Great Pest were all there, and even one more person—Ruoxie.
A year ago, Skyless Sword Emperor had returned to Sword Mountain. Before that, after breaking through to the Great Emperor realm, he had been in closed-door cultivation, using the Heavenly Derivation Scripture to comprehend the Void Sword Scripture. In the end, Skyless Sword Emperor, having honed his sword for a thousand years, comprehended the Void Dao Intent. With the Void Sword Dao, he defeated Iron Sword Great Emperor and obliterated him. Faced with the domineering Skyless Sword Emperor, the people of Sword Mountain elected him as the new Sword Mountain Lord, and the elders even made public the secrets of Sword Mountain's past.
Ruoxie naturally knew about Skyless Sword Emperor. After returning to Sword Mountain, he learned from Skyless Sword Emperor about Heavenly Terrace and came to Holy City Central Continent to find them.
As for the Heavenly Terrace in the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses region, it was a symbol and a liaison point. Azure Emperor Mountain, Yaoye Island, and Sword Mountain all had various connections with Lin Feng. The Heavenly Terrace in that region was as stable as Mount Tai, unshakable.
The core members of Heavenly Terrace were all talented and cultivated the Heavenly Derivation Scripture, their potential absolutely terrifying. But now, a shadow hung over Heavenly Terrace.
"How is Qiu Ming's injury?" Hou Qinglin asked Yun Qingyan. Yun Qingyan's face was grim, her expression unpleasant. "Severely injured. It will take many days of rest before he fully recovers."
"This training expedition went poorly, resulting in the deaths of six Heavenly Terrace disciples and injuries to eight others. It's all my responsibility." Hou Qinglin's tone was heavy.
"At that time, Moon Gate used spies to probe our movements, then launched a surprise attack, killing people and seizing treasures. It has nothing to do with you," Yun Qingyan said.
"Second Senior Brother, this cannot be blamed on you," Tian Chi also spoke, and the others nodded in agreement.
"Pursuing blame now is meaningless. The three-year deadline is approaching. Our cultivation has improved, and many have stepped into the Mid-rank Emperor realm. However, several peak figures of Moon Gate remain like a great mountain. Especially this time, Ji Wuyou displayed formidable power, which is worrying. That profound Dao Intent—he seems to no longer need to borrow it but can wield it himself."
Qin Wu's voice was rather low. His words plunged everyone into silence. Indeed, Moon Gate was using Heavenly Terrace to establish their authority and crush their spirit. Now, almost no one in War King Academy favored Heavenly Terrace.
Several people in Moon Gate were terrifyingly powerful. Ji Wuyou was one, and another was said to be able to break through to the High-rank Emperor realm. But for the sake of their agreement with Heavenly Terrace, they had not deliberately made that breakthrough, likely planning to use Heavenly Terrace disciples on the battle platform to ascend to the High-rank Emperor realm.
Hou Qinglin was silent for a moment, then turned his gaze to Jing Shou. Jing Shou was still the same as before, wearing a white fur robe with his hands tucked into his sleeves, his hands never visible.
"Jing Shou, how is the secret training on your end?" Hou Qinglin asked Jing Shou.
"No problem. There's already a batch of people who can unleash the power of slaughter," Jing Shou replied calmly. Over the past few years, all the training of assassins within Heavenly Terrace had been Jing Shou's responsibility.
"Good. For this three-year agreement, everyone should do their best. Even if we lose, it's nothing. Heavenly Terrace will eventually surpass Moon Gate; we just lack some time. More importantly, we must watch out for Moon Gate's schemes against us," Hou Qinglin said slowly. Everyone fell silent, knowing these were Hou Qinglin's words of comfort.
Heavenly Terrace now was vastly different from three years ago. It had expanded greatly, with many elite members in the sect. The battle between Heavenly Terrace and Moon Gate would undoubtedly draw attention. If they lost, it would be a massive blow to them, just as they had ruthlessly crushed Star Gate in the past.
"How is Lin Feng?" Tantai asked Hou Qinglin. Hou Qinglin replied, "Let's try not to factor Lin Feng into this battle."
"Alright." Tantai nodded, vaguely understanding Hou Qinglin's meaning. It seemed Lin Feng's main body could not return to participate in the agreement with Moon Gate.
...
Holy City Central Continent. Today was another monthly recruitment day for the academies. The four academies all had many strong cultivators undergoing assessments.
At this moment, outside the assessment grounds for the Mid-rank Emperor realm at War King Academy, many strong cultivators had appeared, many of them talented disciples from major powers in Holy City Central Continent.
"The Yuwen family has sent someone again. That's Yuwen Ting, another princess of the Yuwen clan. It's said she's only a few months younger than Yuwen Jing, and her talent is no less. And she's so beautiful. I wonder if there's a chance to become her Dao companion," a dashing young man said, his gaze fixed on a very beautiful woman—Yuwen Ting.
"Stop daydreaming. Yuwen Jing, the Yuwen princess who entered War King Academy first, is said to be engaged to Ji Wuyou of the Ji family. Yuwen Ting's looks and talent are on par with Yuwen Jing's. Her future partner will surely be an extraordinary figure. Do you think you have a chance?" said another person, arms crossed over his chest, speaking indifferently.
"I didn't expect the Yuwen family to produce so many outstanding women in this generation. It's surprising. As for the Ji family, it's the men who dominate—Ji Shang and Ji Wuyou are both exceptionally talented."
Although those coming to take the War King Academy assessment were all extraordinary figures, Yuwen Ting still became the center of attention. Her halo drew countless gazes. Her beautiful eyes were calm, but her face bore a faint, noble, and cold demeanor, as if innate.
At this moment, in the distant void, a figure strolled through the air. This figure was draped in white robes, her perfect figure faintly visible. A veil covered her face, but the eyes exposed made it impossible for anyone who saw them to look away.
"Whoa... what a stunning fairy maiden," a distinguished young man took a deep breath. He was well-traveled, but seeing this woman appear, he couldn't help but feel his heart stir.
Many gazes turned toward that direction, and their pupils froze, unable to look away. It was as if they saw a holy fairy maiden strolling toward them, each step tugging at their hearts.
"A fairy maiden descends to the mortal world, intoxicating the human realm," a clear voice rang out. Everyone sighed with emotion. What kind of beautiful eyes were those? They longed to lift that veil and see just how glorious her beauty was, but no one wished to defile the arriving fairy maiden.
In an instant, everyone's focus shifted from Yuwen Ting to this dreamlike woman.
The woman's body descended to the open ground. That holy, immortal aura seemed naturally perfect. The crowd could clearly sense a chill emanating from her, as if she would not allow others to approach. Though the fairy maiden was beautiful, she would never tolerate covetousness. As for her cultivation level, since she had come to the Mid-rank Emperor assessment grounds, she was naturally at the Mid-rank Emperor realm.
Everyone now had the same thought: Which family's princess was this fairy maiden?
