# Chapter 2216: Taboo Legend

After a thousand years, the Wheel of Fate had turned once again. This undoubtedly made Lin Feng understand why the Ten Great Divine Palaces had joined forces to kill them — this was the reason.

"In the Xiao World, there has always been a saying. Those who can cause the Wheel of Fate to turn are called Fate Taboos. They are taboo individuals, rejected by heaven and earth, and the Hall of All Gods must kill them." The Prophet's voice rang out once more. Lin Feng's body suddenly stiffened, and he felt a tremor run through him. Taboo.

"The legend of the taboo spread to the Xiao Continent, giving rise to various versions. But no matter which version, it symbolizes a kind of taboo, a kind of power. In fact, this name was also given by the Hall of All Gods. They should not be called taboo individuals, but rather, fate-defying individuals — those who transcend the bounds of destiny. In the ancient era, it is said that several such figures appeared. The battles that erupted at the end of the ancient era undoubtedly proved all of this. And since the ancient era, after the gods fell, no taboo individuals have appeared. Perhaps it was due to the thinning of spiritual energy, or perhaps human martial cultivators had grown weaker. And now, at last, they have appeared once again."

The Prophet's gaze fixed on Lin Feng. At this moment, Lin Feng finally understood why the Prophet had given him such solemn instructions.

At this moment, the Prophet's eyes stared intently at Lin Feng as he slowly said, "During the Xiao Gathering, the Wheel of Fate turned. Therefore, the taboo individual is very likely one of the participants in this Xiao Gathering. And based on my deductions and past experience, that person — the most likely candidate — is you, Lin Feng!"

"Whoosh..." Lin Feng let out a long breath, his heart surging. So this was the true origin of the Forbidden Body? On the continent, there were many legends about forbidden bodies, but who knew that the twilight of the gods at the end of the ancient era was triggered by a forbidden body?

And he was the most likely candidate to be a forbidden body. The Prophet had led the others away and had saved Chu Chunqiu during the battle — was all of this just to cover up the truth? However, the Hall of All Gods would not rest until they killed him. They would not want to see a taboo figure rise again, would they?

"Right now, only you, me, and the Hall Master know about this matter. Do not reveal it to anyone. As for the ten of you, you may all be sent to different places on the continent rather than staying in the Fate Temple. Staying in the Fate Temple would not be good for you. Additionally, the Fate Temple will do its utmost to calm this matter down, just like a thousand years ago."

The Prophet spoke slowly, then lifted a faint, illusory star cloak and said to Lin Feng, "This is the Phantom Cloak. When you wear it, you can change your appearance at will — your temperament, your eyes, the aura of your body — all of it will be altered. No one will be able to recognize you."

Lin Feng's expression froze for a moment, then he took the Phantom Cloak. Although Old Man Xiao's disguise techniques were very powerful, they had their limits. Some terrifyingly powerful figures would surely be able to recognize him. It could not fool the eyes of Saint King-level beings. With this Phantom Cloak, it would undoubtedly be far more convenient.

"Also, regarding the reward for the first seat in this Xiao Gathering, I haven't given it to you yet. What do you want?" The Prophet said with a smile. Lin Feng's expression shifted, and then he spoke, "I have an elder at the Saint realm who was severely injured in the past, leaving only a trace of consciousness. I also have an elder at the Heavenly Emperor realm who transformed into the Dao. And a friend at the Martial Emperor realm who was severely wounded by an Emperor-level figure and was frozen by me to preserve her last breath of life. I hope to heal them."

"A Saint with only a trace of consciousness remaining — that's very troublesome. Even the soul has been erased. However, because of their powerful realm, even a trace of consciousness can survive. The Undying Divine Medicine of the Life Divine Temple can strengthen that trace of consciousness, essentially allowing rebirth. After the consciousness is strengthened, he will need to cultivate an ancient scripture called the Rebirth Scripture to transform consciousness into a soul. But complete recovery will be difficult."

The Prophet spoke. "As for the Heavenly Emperor who transformed into the Dao and the one who was severely wounded and frozen, a single drop of Undying Divine Medicine will be enough. My Fate Temple has a good relationship with the Life Divine Temple. I have a few drops of Undying Divine Medicine, so I will grant you three drops as the reward for the first seat in this Xiao Gathering."

"Thank you." Lin Feng's heart was overjoyed. This was Undying Divine Medicine. Although the Prophet spoke of it quite casually, Lin Feng knew just how precious Undying Divine Medicine was. Even an ancient Saint, no matter how severely injured, as long as they were not dead, could recover with Undying Divine Medicine. Even the Life Divine Temple would not have too much of it — it was absolutely a supreme treasure. Yet the other party was willing to grant him three drops. This showed how great a favor the Fate Temple was bestowing upon him.

If the Heaven Soul Ancient Saint knew about this, he would surely want to kill Lin Feng. His greatest hope in participating in the Xiao Gathering was to obtain a single drop of Undying Divine Medicine. After all, he was only a remnant body that had seized another body. If he wanted to regain even a fraction of his former glory, only Undying Divine Medicine could help him.

But even so, the ancient Saint who was only a trace of consciousness still needed the Rebirth Scripture. This showed just how severe Old Man Qin Shan's injuries were — he had nearly been destroyed.

As for the Green Lotus Commander and Qing Qing, their cultivation levels were too weak in the face of Undying Divine Medicine. As long as they had a breath of life left, there would be no problem. Even though the Green Lotus Commander had transformed into the Dao, his soul was still contained within it. As long as the soul was not extinguished, the divine medicine could revive him.

"Come, I'll take you to a place." The Prophet spoke, then stepped forward into the vast starry sky ahead. Lin Feng followed the Prophet's steps forward, as if strolling through the boundless starry expanse. It felt as if they had traveled a great distance. Lin Feng did not know where they had arrived. They stepped into a world of stars, and finally, the Prophet's steps came to a halt.

And at this moment, beneath the boundless world, there was a starry sky — or rather, many starry skies.

"The Xiao Continent!" Lin Feng's pupils contracted as he stared at those starry skies. Shen Xiao, Zi Xiao, Qing Xiao, Lang Xiao... Ahead, there were the starry skies formed by the Xiao Continent.

Besides Xiao, there was also the Underworld, as well as some incomplete worlds.

"This is?" Lin Feng looked up at the Prophet, his gaze filled with shock.

"These are the entrances to the Xiao Continent, the Underworld, and some small worlds that have been fairly well developed," the Prophet said to Lin Feng. Lin Feng's heart trembled slightly. "If I go down from here, I can step into the Xiao Continent and the Underworld?"

"Yes. The Xiao Continent was a world created by supreme beings from the ancient era. In fact, it is also a small world. This Xiao Heavenly Court is the origin place of the continent. Now, this Xiao Heavenly Court has also been split into countless worlds. The Tai Yao Realm is one of the extremely powerful ones, created by a supreme being from the Demon Realm in ancient times. Of course, there are countless small worlds, but the status of the Xiao Heavenly Court cannot be matched by any other place, because the Hall of All Gods is on this continent."

The Prophet explained to Lin Feng. "Lin Feng, stay in the Fate Temple for a few days. I will let you choose a few techniques and see if there are any you like. Of course, since you are a taboo figure, these things are probably meaningless. Your path does not lie within the bounds of fate, and you will inevitably create your own power. After a few days, leave the City of Fate and go out to train. Whether you go to the Xiao Continent or other worlds of the Xiao Heavenly Court, it will be fine."

"Alright. This time when I go out to train, I will not reappear until I reach the Emperor realm," Lin Feng said softly. He had never forgotten the twenty-year agreement. He would surely set foot in the Snow Clan and bring out Meng Qing and Zhe Tian.

"Senior, is the Snow Clan also in the Xiao Heavenly Court? How strong are they?" Lin Feng asked.

"Yes. The Snow Clan is an extremely ancient race. They have existed since the ancient era and have deep foundations. However, at the end of the ancient era during the Twilight of the Gods war, they joined the battle camp and lost countless powerful figures. Since then, they have declined. But now, the Snow Clan has two kings emerging, which shows some signs of revival."

"Two kings? The Snow Mastiff? And who else? If Meng Qing is added, it would probably be three kings," Lin Feng thought to himself.

"Why are you asking about the Snow Clan?" the Prophet said.

"There are some grudges," Lin Feng said, his eyes flickering.

"Alright. Although the Fate Temple could completely help you make a move, it's better for you to lie low for a while during this period. Not just you — the top ten participants in the Xiao Gathering all need to go out and train, to disappear for a time. After the storm has settled, if you need the Fate Temple to make a move, tell me. At that time, you can stand before the Snow Clan and make them understand that years ago, they looked down on you, but years later, you are someone they cannot afford to reach."

"Definitely." Lin Feng took a deep breath. The Snow Clan's Saint King stood high above, controlling his fate, treating him like a weed. The Snow Mastiff was domineering and ruthless, killing without mercy. Everything was still vivid in his mind. If not for Qing Feng inviting the Ten Extremes Old Immortal back then, he would have died at the hands of the Snow Clan. If he died, Meng Qing would surely not live on. That kind of outcome, Lin Feng dared not imagine.

The pain the Snow Clan had given him, the pain they had given Meng Qing, the pain they had given Zhe Tian — he would make the Snow Clan pay it all back!

Lin Feng looked up at the distant horizon, at that boundless starry sky. Now that he had seized the first seat in the Xiao Gathering, he had finally taken a true step on his path of the strong. Since even fate could not determine his destiny, no matter how difficult the road ahead, he would press forward without hesitation, shattering the heavens. If the Hall of All Gods wanted to destroy him, then he would become a true taboo figure — one that made the divine palaces tremble!
