Chapter 2006: Imperial Dynasty's Holy Prince
The Holy Dao Platform began to tremble. When Lin Feng's eyes opened, light burst forth. The Holy Emperor's Throne beneath him shook, and suddenly a flash of light passed through. The Holy Emperor's Throne and the entire Holy Dao Platform all vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed at all.
This scene caused the pupils of the Holy Spirit Dynasty's people to constrict. Those old monster-level figures wore rather grim expressions. Although no one from their Holy Spirit Dynasty had been able to sit on that Holy Emperor's Throne for countless years, the Holy Dao Platform could at least test the talent of the younger generation of the Holy Spirit Dynasty, allowing them to decide who to focus on training and how to train them. However, with that beam of light, everything dissipated into smoke. The Holy Dao Platform would henceforth disappear from the pages of history. This ancient relic no longer existed.
"The saint has fallen. The Holy Dao Platform, formed from his flesh and blood, has finally vanished as well." Lin Feng naturally understood what was happening. The ancient saint had forged this Holy Dao Platform with his own flesh, blood, and soul, leaving behind this battle and inheritance for future generations. When he entered that sealed space and obtained the memories left behind, the ancient saint also disappeared.
"What did you obtain?" At this moment, a voice boomed. A terrifying old man fixed his gaze on Lin Feng, his voice carrying authority without anger. They only knew that this Holy Dao Platform was a relic left by their ancestors, possibly containing their ancestor's inheritance. But they had no idea what had happened when Lin Feng sat on the Holy Emperor's Throne; they could only speculate.
"I saw the ancient saint king of the Holy Spirit Dynasty." Lin Feng lifted his head, looking at the powerful figures in the void, his voice calm.
The eyes of the Holy Spirit Dynasty's experts suddenly burst with terrifying light. In that instant, Lin Feng felt himself enveloped by a pressure, as if he could be destroyed at any moment.
"What did you obtain?" That voice sounded again.
"The ancient saint of the Holy Spirit Dynasty left behind the scene of the battle of the saints from the past. He also knew that the Qi Tian Holy Dynasty would inevitably split." Lin Feng spoke again. At this moment, silence suddenly fell in the void. The elders of the Holy Spirit Dynasty stared at Lin Feng with sharp gazes. Lin Feng's eyes remained calm as ever, looking back at these people.
After what seemed like a long time, that person spoke again: "The Holy Spirit Dynasty has been passed down for countless years, but no one has ever stepped onto that Holy Emperor's Throne. Once, the most outstanding figure of our Holy Spirit Dynasty was only one step away from that throne, but fell short in the end. Today, taking advantage of the gathering of geniuses from Qingxiao Land in Qi Tian Holy Capital, we invited various monstrous talents here to discuss matters, to see the talent of the young geniuses of Qingxiao Land today. At the same time, there was also a faint, unrealistic hope—to see if anyone could break what the Holy Spirit Dynasty had failed to achieve for countless years. It was just a thought. Even we never truly believed it would actually happen. So when it did happen, we were somewhat at a loss, unsure how to handle you."
"I can understand." Lin Feng nodded slightly, his voice still calm.
"Earlier, we joked that if someone truly could do it, we would honor him as the king of the Holy Spirit Dynasty. But now that you have actually done it, I want to seize everything you obtained, because it belongs to the ancient saint of our Holy Spirit Dynasty." This powerful figure spoke calmly, without a ripple, but it made Meng Qing, standing by, tremble with fear. She could also understand their position, but from her and Lin Feng's perspective, it was unacceptable.
"What is your final decision, senior?" Lin Feng asked.
That powerful figure looked at Lin Feng, silent for a moment, making the void oppressive. Meng Qing's hands clenched tightly, and the space around them seemed to freeze into frost.
"What our Holy Spirit Dynasty failed to achieve generation after generation, you have accomplished. You have also seen the ancestral saint of the Holy Spirit Dynasty. If I were to kill you and take everything, it would seem disrespectful to our ancestor. Moreover, since you could do what countless generations of our Holy Spirit Dynasty could not, it inherently proves your talent and future achievements. Without a doubt, you will become a saint king. Even if our Holy Spirit Dynasty seized it, we might not necessarily be able to create a saint king."
As this person spoke, the other experts of the Holy Spirit Dynasty listened quietly, no one raising any objection, as if they had already discussed it.
Meng Qing breathed a sigh of relief. The other party's words told her that they would not harm Lin Feng.
"So, I have decided to take the middle path. We will honor you as the Holy Prince of the Holy Spirit Dynasty. Not only will we not harm you, but we will become your strong backing, paving the way for you to become a saint king. However, you must also agree to one condition." This person spoke slowly, each word carrying weight.
"What condition?" Lin Feng asked, his voice still very calm.
"I will select the most outstanding beautiful woman from the Holy Spirit Dynasty. You need to produce an offspring with her. That offspring will remain in the Holy Spirit Dynasty, and you will pass on the inheritance you obtained today to your child. As for the woman of the Holy Spirit Dynasty, whether you want her or not is irrelevant. It would be best if you do; if not, we will not force it."
The old man said calmly, causing Lin Feng's expression to stiffen slightly. The other party's idea was absolutely the most beneficial for the Holy Spirit Dynasty. Seeing his potential, they chose not to kill him but to become his backing, thus establishing a first layer of connection with a future saint. Furthermore, by having him leave an offspring with a woman of the Holy Spirit Dynasty, that child would inherit his talent and also carry the bloodline of the Holy Spirit Dynasty, not being an outsider. In this way, although they gained nothing in this generation, the next generation would obtain what they wanted: a monstrous genius carrying the combined bloodline of him and the Holy Spirit Dynasty, who would also receive the inheritance he obtained today.
Lin Feng had to admire the other party. This was absolutely the most perfect plan for the Holy Spirit Dynasty, even if it meant sacrificing the most outstanding beautiful woman of the Holy Spirit Dynasty, all for the sake of passing on the bloodline.
Lin Feng's brow furrowed slightly. This condition was not excessive for him; in fact, it could be said to have only benefits, a true win-win situation. He would gain a beautiful woman and have the Holy Spirit Dynasty as his backing. At the same time, his offspring would become the future king of the Holy Spirit Dynasty. It was almost perfect.
"He agrees." At this moment, a voice rang out. Lin Feng's gaze froze.
"Meng Qing." Lin Feng looked at Meng Qing's beautiful eyes. It was she who had just spoken.
"Lin Feng, I agreed on your behalf." Meng Qing said. She naturally understood that this had no drawbacks for Lin Feng. On the contrary, if Lin Feng refused, she could not predict how the Holy Spirit Dynasty would treat him.
The experts of the Holy Spirit Dynasty looked at Meng Qing and nodded slightly. "Lin Feng's talent is beyond doubt. For him to have a wife like you is also his fortune. Since that is the case, our Holy Spirit Dynasty will not make things difficult for you. We only ask for an offspring; we will not demand that he take another wife."
"We agree." Meng Qing nodded.
"Good. I will select the most outstanding young woman of the Holy Spirit Dynasty. And there is no need to worry about appearance. If you wish to choose for yourself, Lin Feng, that is also acceptable." That Holy Spirit Dynasty expert said.
"Do I have no second option?" Lin Feng asked.
"You should understand that this is the inheritance left by our Holy Spirit Dynasty's ancestor. I must consider the dynasty's interests. I believe this is already the best for you. No other choice would be as perfect."
Lin Feng was silent for a moment, then nodded. He was not an inflexible person, and it seemed there was indeed no other path.
"Have you not yet paid respects to the Holy Prince?" That old man, seeing Lin Feng nod, let out a light shout.
In an instant, countless people bowed, and even some senior figures slightly inclined their heads toward Lin Feng, saying in unison, "Holy Prince!"
Lin Feng's gaze swept over the figures in the void, and he said calmly, "May I leave now?"
"Now that you are the Holy Prince of the Holy Spirit Dynasty, your status surpasses that of princes and princesses. You may come and go as you please. Once your offspring is born, he will inherit your status and become the Holy Prince."
"I will take my leave." Lin Feng said calmly. His figure flickered, descending to Meng Qing's side. Taking her hand, the two of them flickered away.
Leaving the Holy Spirit Dynasty, the two figures flickered through the air. Lin Feng tightly held Meng Qing's hand.
"Lin Feng, you don't need to mind this. Having the Holy Spirit Dynasty as your backing is a good thing, isn't it?" Meng Qing said with a smile.
"You know, I don't care whether the Holy Spirit Dynasty is my backing or not." Lin Feng looked at Meng Qing.
"But I do." Meng Qing's gaze met Lin Feng's, her beautiful eyes soft, her smile moving, enough to make one's heart tremble.
Lin Feng reached out and gently stroked Meng Qing's cheek, smiling. "My first child will definitely be with you."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, a faint blush appeared on Meng Qing's face. The fairy maiden's shyness was breathtaking.
Lin Feng temporarily returned to the Tianci Dynasty, but he only stayed for a moment. He asked Princess Piaoxue to help him gather information about the Guang Han Palace. Earlier, he had wanted to ask Yiren, but after stepping onto the Holy Dao Platform, he had no chance. From Princess Piaoxue, he learned that the Guang Han Palace had been invited to Qi Tian Holy Capital by the Gu Yao Dynasty this time.
After learning this, Lin Feng set out for the Gu Yao Dynasty. Princess Piaoxue accompanied him as well.
The Gu Yao Dynasty was not one of the most ancient imperial dynasties. It was a powerful force that rose later. Moreover, the founder of the Gu Yao Dynasty called herself the Gu Yao Fairy Maiden, her identity mysterious. The Gu Yao Dynasty had more women than men, contending with the various dynasties of Qi Tian Holy Capital. However, Princess Piaoxue had no doubt about the dynasty's strength. Therefore, when she learned what Lin Feng intended to do, she accompanied him on this trip, because what this guy wanted to do was truly somewhat crazy.
