Chapter 2217: Influence
The Nine Heavens Gathering was not affected by the oppression of the Ten Divine Palaces and was still held as scheduled. This showed that the foundation of the Fate Temple was still intact, and the Hall of All Gods did not dare to completely fall out with them. A similar incident had occurred a thousand years ago, but it was still suppressed by the Fate Temple. Of course, all of this was unknown to those outside the Nine Heavens Celestial Court.
The conflict at the Emperor Realm still caused a terrifying backlash, but the Martial Emperor Realm battle was still fresh in everyone's minds. The descent of the Ten Divine Palaces was too shocking. Now, in Shen Xiao City, rumors were spreading that Chu Chunqiu might be some kind of taboo existence that even the Hall of All Gods feared. This rumor was not only spreading in Shen Xiao City but also throughout the Nine Heavens Celestial Court. The news spread extremely quickly, perhaps because of its huge impact.
As for those who had entered the Nine Heavens Celestial Court, they had witnessed its vastness, countless wonderful worlds, and powerful humans and races. For the time being, none of them had any intention of returning. They began to roam the Nine Heavens Celestial Court, tempering their strength. Now that the Nine Heavens Gathering was over, most of them were at the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm and needed to break through to the Emperor Realm.
Qing Feng had also come to the Nine Heavens Celestial Court. She was brought here by Jing. Jing was a member of an ancient and powerful family in the Nine Heavens Celestial Court, and Qing Feng was also from that family. However, Qing Feng did not return to her family. Instead, she wanted to go to the City of Fate. But that immortal city floating in the void was impossible to enter unless one was a disciple of the Fate Temple.
Of course, the impact of the Nine Heavens Gathering in the Nine Heavens Celestial Court was far less than in the Nine Heavens Continent. Now, the battle records of the Nine Heavens Gathering had already begun to spread to every corner of the Nine Heavens Continent.
In Qingxiao Land, the Holy Spirit Dynasty held a heavenly sacrifice today to honor the successive ancestors of the dynasty. On the altar, there were many memorial tablets and jade slips engraved with the names of core clan members. Now, one tablet was particularly conspicuous. The name engraved on it was Lin Feng, which had a different surname from the other names. Yet, no one objected.
"Qiong Sheng, that is the memorial tablet of the Holy Prince of the Holy Spirit Dynasty. Your father occupies the most important position. In the future, you must be like your father." At this moment, the Holy Emperor of the Holy Spirit Dynasty was holding Lin Qiong Sheng's hand and speaking slowly. Lin Qiong Sheng was now one and a half meters tall. Although his face still showed his youth, his cultivation level was by no means low.
Looking at that name, Lin Qiong Sheng's eyes were sharp, and a hint of pride could be seen. That was his father, an outsider, yet he was enshrined by the Holy Spirit Dynasty in the most important position of the Holy Prince. In the Holy Spirit Dynasty, this was an honor.
"Qiong Sheng, your father won first place in the Nine Heavens. You must work hard." The Holy Emperor's eyes were sharp. He was somewhat fortunate that he had not chosen to deal with Lin Feng back then but had instead formed an alliance with him. This had led to the present situation. Now that Lin Feng had become the number one Martial Emperor in the Nine Heavens and an absolute core disciple of the Fate Temple, one could imagine how glorious Lin Feng's future would be.
However, in Qi Tian Holy Capital, the other dynasties besides the Holy Spirit Dynasty were not so comfortable. In fact, when the news came back, many dynasties were particularly worried. In the past, they had joined forces to hunt down Lin Feng. Now that Lin Feng, with his unparalleled talent, had forcefully entered the Divine Palace, would he seek revenge against them when he returned to Qi Tian Holy Capital many years later?
Of course, the most turbulent heavenly main city in Qingxiao Land was not Qi Tian Holy Capital, but Holy City Central Continent.
The Ji family, the Pei family, and many other families all realized what a terrifying existence they had provoked. That Lin Feng could actually win first place in the Nine Heavens. How terrifying would he become in the future?
In the past, they had been so ruthless to Lin Feng, repeatedly attacking him and even surrounding him. The Ji family, in particular, had participated in many operations to kill Lin Feng. This hatred could never be resolved. Now, they could only hope and curse that Lin Feng would die outside and never grow up.
As for another reason for the turmoil in Qingxiao Land, it was naturally that in Holy City Central Continent, two peerless figures had entered the top ten seats of the Nine Heavens. More precisely, they had entered the top three seats.
Lin Feng, first place. Chu Chunqiu, third place.
The Heavenly One Academy was proud of Chu Chunqiu, while the War King Academy was honored by Lin Feng.
Now, in the King-Sealing Hall of the War King Academy, Lin Feng's name had already disappeared from the Heavenly King-Sealing List. This was because Lin Feng no longer needed the Heavenly King-Sealing List to make his existence known. For Lin Feng, let alone the Heavenly King-Sealing List, even true enfeoffment as a king was unnecessary. As Lin Feng had said, he was the uncrowned king. He did not need to be enfeoffed in the academy like Ji Shang had been. He was the number one in the Nine Heavens, the absolute king.
The King-Sealing Hall was packed with people. Both old students and new disciples of the academy came here to look. On the stone tablet in the King-Sealing Hall, at the very top, there was a name: Lin Feng.
On that King-Sealing Stone Tablet, there was only one sentence: Nine Heavens Gathering, First Seat.
This simple sentence was enough to represent everything.
At the same time, outside the Water Curtain Cave of the King-Sealing Hall, there was a huge statue carved in the likeness of Lin Feng. This statue was ten zhang tall, lifelike, and extremely spirited. Its eyes were filled with a sharp demonic intent, as if they wanted to pierce the sky, or as if they wanted to rule the world, exuding unparalleled dominance.
At this moment, a figure stood before this statue for a long time, staring at it without blinking. After what seemed like a long time, he turned around and left.
"Now, besides Lin Feng, he is the most talented person in our War King Academy. It seems he comes here every day to look at Lin Feng's statue for a while before leaving. Perhaps in his heart, Lin Feng has become his goal."
Many people thought to themselves. It was not just that person. Many beautiful women also looked at this statue, their beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration.
"This is Senior Brother Lin Feng. He's so handsome, and his talent is incredible. I'll never be able to catch up."
"Yes, Senior Brother Lin Feng has created countless miracles. Not long after he first entered the War King Academy, the Ji Sect led by Ji Shang was arrogant and invincible, and no one dared to provoke them. Only Lin Feng established the Heavenly Terrace to oppose them. He even dared to provoke Ji Shang on the day of his enfeoffment as king. Not long after, he defeated Ji Shang on the day of the Emperor's List Inquiry. It's amazing. His growth rate is simply unattainable."
"I wish I could be Senior Brother Lin Feng's woman and stay by his side forever." A beautiful woman said with a somewhat infatuated look.
"You're dreaming. Senior Brother Lin Feng's wife is Senior Sister Meng Qing. She is a fairy, otherworldly and not of this mortal world, and her talent is also extremely powerful." Another woman teased.
Just then, the laughter suddenly stopped. Their gazes turned to a woman slowly walking over from the side. She was like a fairy, incredibly ethereal, as if she carried immortal energy with her.
"So beautiful." Even though they were beautiful women themselves, they couldn't help but praise her in their hearts. This woman was so beautiful. Why hadn't they seen her before?
"She's like a fairy. Who is she?" Many men's gazes were attracted to her. However, this fairy-like figure acted as if no one else was there, just looking at the statue in front of her.
"Sister Bi Yao." At this moment, a young man came to the fairy's side and smiled lightly at her. Xue Bi Yao turned her gaze to the young man and smiled slightly. "You've come to see your master too?"
"Yes, it's been a long time since I saw Master. I miss him a little." Xiao Chen smiled and said. Now, his eyebrows were like swords, and he exuded an aura of a strong cultivator.
"It's Ye Chen, Senior Brother Lin Feng's disciple, a member of the Heavenly Terrace."
Many people looked at Ye Chen with some envy. This was Senior Brother Lin Feng's disciple. When Lin Feng reached the pinnacle of martial arts in the future, Ye Chen would surely become extremely powerful as well.
At this moment, in the void, within the rolling clouds, two old men were watching the scenes below, faint smiles on their faces.
"Old friend, see my judgment? If it weren't for me, how could we have this situation? Now, the reputation of our War King Academy has spread throughout Qingxiao Land, and countless geniuses are flocking here." Shi Tian Ancestor stood in the void and said with a smile.
"You're full of shit. Lin Feng was clearly discovered by me. What does it have to do with you?" Xuan Tian Ancestor said contemptuously, a disdainful look on his face.
"You're the one full of shit. Wasn't it I who took a liking to Lin Feng back then?" Shi Tian Ancestor immediately turned hostile, and the two old men began to argue loudly. Soon, the rolling clouds in the void roared, and the heavens and earth shook, causing the people below to tremble in their hearts. They suddenly looked up at the sky, and soon, their bodies trembled, and they shivered all over.
Many people also rubbed their eyes, afraid they were seeing things. Two Ancestor-level figures were actually pointing at each other and arguing, their auras bursting forth, causing the wind and clouds to roll.
Hearing the topic of their argument, many people secretly wiped their sweat. Were these really the Ancestor-level figures of their academy? They were actually arguing about who had discovered Lin Feng's talent first!
In Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, outside the Demon Realm, the leader of the Demon Realm stood in the void, his gaze looking into the distance, as if his eyes could pierce through the heavens and earth.
"Little one, Forbidden Body, you have finally grown up. Now, the various Divine Palaces will surely put tremendous pressure on you. The Fate Temple will solve these problems for you. Your next step of growth will depend on yourself." The leader of the Demon Realm looked into the distance and thought to himself.
"Qing Feng, you should have met with Jing by now. Next, you should also go up there to take a look. Your family is there. Your father can only do this much for you. If Lin Feng grows up smoothly, he will pave the way for your future."
A smile appeared in the eyes of the leader of the Demon Realm, as if he was very happy.
And the source of the shock that caused countless powerful forces and giants in Qingxiao Land to tremble was simply this: Lin Feng, first place in the Nine Heavens Gathering!
