# Chapter 2219: Where to Go
"Before participating in the Nine Heavens Gathering, which land did you come from?" The Flame Temple's hall master pressed down on Lin Feng, his voice echoing directly within Lin Feng's divine soul, shaking endlessly.
"Qingxiao Continent," Lin Feng replied calmly. "I was a martial cultivator from an insignificant small world within Qingxiao Continent. After more than twenty years of cultivation, I stepped into the great world and realized how vast the world truly is, with countless powerful experts. I worked hard to cultivate, forging ahead courageously. Now, after more than forty years of cultivation, I have finally stepped onto the stage of the Nine Heavens Gathering and arrived here in the Nine Heavens Celestial Court."
The Fate Temple's hall master stared at Lin Feng, the pressure entwining around Lin Feng's body and divine soul still present. More than forty years to cultivate only to the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm—such talent was actually not worth praising. However, considering that this person had come step by step from a small world, it was indeed rare. His cultivation speed was not fast, but his tenacity was strong, and his martial dao will was firm; otherwise, he would not have obtained the first seat of the Nine Heavens. He wondered if there was a slight possibility that this person was him.
"What cultivation technique do you practice, and what is your martial soul?" the hall master asked again. Lin Feng's expression stiffened, and his brows furrowed tightly. He knew that the other party could probably see too much with just one glance, and he had to reveal everything he needed to.
"From the beginning of my cultivation until now, I have practiced many different techniques. In the small world, my techniques were poor, and later I switched to cultivating a demonic ancient scripture. Up to today, I practice the Ten Thousand Calamities Indestructible Heavenly Demon Art, tempering my physical body and divine soul, giving me a great advantage over cultivators of the same realm. Apart from the demonic scripture, I also cultivate several supplementary ancient scriptures and some array dao abilities. My cultivation is quite mixed," Lin Feng's answer was very truthful, but there were some key things he naturally could not reveal completely.
"How dare you!" the man shouted explosively. With a rumbling sound, Lin Feng felt his divine soul shake violently. Blood seeped from the corner of his main body's mouth, and his face turned pale. "How could the mere Ten Thousand Calamities Indestructible Heavenly Demon Art give you such a physical body?"
"I once entered the Heavenly River Battlefield of the Underworld and killed a powerful demonic figure, seemingly from the ancient demon clan. I obtained a powerful divine ability—the Heavenly Demon Body Disintegration Art—which can also temper the body. Combined together, I was able to achieve this physical body," Lin Feng's gaze was extremely cold, but he still responded. At his current cultivation level, the hall master of the Flame Temple stood before him like a god, lofty and high, looking at him as if he were an ant. Did he have the capital to contend with him?
Right now, he could do nothing, even though the other party was oppressing him so forcefully. However, the other party was the hall master of the Flame Temple, a giant figure of the Nine Heavens, one of the controllers, possessing supreme authority. What was he, Lin Feng, right now?
He accepted all of this, but he would remember it in his heart. When the taboo reversed the heavens, he would definitely collect this debt.
"Additionally, I once had a fortuitous encounter in the ancient saint battlefield of Qi Tian Holy Capital on Qingxiao Continent, where I obtained several saint techniques to cultivate, which have powerful attack capabilities," Lin Feng continued before the other party could ask further. The Flame Temple's hall master stood in the void, looking down at Lin Feng with a calm expression, thinking to himself that this person had decent talent and a very firm martial dao heart, but his cultivation speed was not fast, and his opportunities were not bad. However, he probably was not that person.
Even though the Fate Temple's hall master had sent Chu Chunqiu to the Ganges River of Time, the forbidden land of the Tai Yao Realm, the hall masters of the various divine temples still did not give up any possibility. Each hall master was testing one person.
After a moment of silence, a flash of extremely cold killing intent suddenly passed through the Flame Temple's hall master's eyes. He snorted coldly, and with a rumbling sound, terrifying flames enveloped Lin Feng. Lin Feng felt as if he were in a sea of hellfire, on the verge of death at any moment.
"Boom!" A terrifying tremor shook Lin Feng's body. He felt the Flame Temple's hall master stepping toward him. In his consciousness, his entire body seemed to be burning, on the verge of death. Angry demonic flames rolled out from his eyes, shooting toward the other party, revealing an unyielding will, even though the other party could crush him as easily as crushing an ant.
"Boom!" Another step. Lin Feng's body was blasted backward, flames burning his body, as if with just a single thought from the other party, he could be reduced to ashes. Not only Lin Feng faced this crisis of death, but the others were also oppressed by the hall masters of the various divine temples, facing this extremely humiliating torture.
The Fate Temple's hall master stepped forward, descending before the disciples of the other divine temples. His palm trembled violently, and beams of light shot out, as if to strip their divine souls, causing sizzling sounds, and some even let out screams.
"A life for a life!" The Fate Temple's hall master's voice was filled with cold intent. He did not bother with Lin Feng and the others, but as long as those hall masters made a killing move, he would also kill without mercy.
"Hmph." Another cold snort sounded, and killing intent filled the entire void. A hall master's figure soared into the air and said, "Old friend, let's see how long you can keep him in the Tai Yao Realm."
The hall masters of the various divine temples all rose into the air at the same time, giving up on killing Lin Feng and the others. Just as the Prophet had said to Lin Feng, this was originally a game of chess. They could not be sure whether the divine temples would kill, and the hall masters of the divine temples also understood this principle. The other party could not predict whether they would kill. Perhaps if they truly found some clues, they would directly kill one of them. If that person was truly one of these people, this would be a very risky game for the Fate Temple. In the end, they let go.
These disciples of their divine temples were all core monstrous figures. If they exchanged one for one with these people from the Fate Temple, it would bring shame to their divine temples. Even if they truly wanted to kill these people, they would not use their own disciples to exchange.
Of course, this did not mean they fully trusted the other party. They would keep an eye on these few people from the Nine Heavens Gathering, as well as Chu Chunqiu in the Ganges River of Time in the Tai Yao Realm.
"Farewell." The hall masters of the various divine temples drifted away, taking their disciples with them. The Fate Temple's hall master watched their departing figures. After a long time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Turning around, his gaze fell on the crowd, and he said, "You have worked hard. Just as you stepped into my Fate Temple, you had to endure such danger."
The crowd slightly bowed. They had also heard about this matter. The Fate Temple had informed them of the entire situation in advance, so they did not blame the Fate Temple. This was respect. Since the Fate Temple's hall master could speak to them like this, what more could they say?
However, they all had doubts in their hearts. Was the taboo figure that the divine temples feared truly Chu Chunqiu?
This doubt was destined to have no answer. As for Kong Ming, his gaze seemed to glance at Lin Feng inadvertently. Back in the small world, the Prophet had chosen Lin Feng. Did this mean something?
The crowd all left this place. In the starry sky, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely rich, with stars as guides, as if this had become Lin Feng's exclusive cultivation ground. The Prophet appeared here and said to Lin Feng, "This matter is considered settled for now. The divine temples' gaze will not leave you. I plan to send you out. You can leave your external incarnation in the Nine Heavens Celestial Court, occasionally going out to move around, letting people know you are always here. As for your main body, once you break through this realm, return with a different identity."
"Lin Feng, what do you think?" the Prophet looked at Lin Feng.
"Good, I was thinking the same," Lin Feng nodded. This time, going out to train, he would not return with his main body until he broke through the Martial Emperor Realm. The Snow Clan oppressed him, and the divine temples were like towering mountains pressing down on him. Only by first breaking through the shackles of the Martial Emperor Realm could he be considered to have taken the first step. His time was too pressing. This time, he planned to spend some time traveling the continent.
"Where is the first stop?" the Prophet pointed to the starry world ahead and said, "The Nine Heavens Continent, the Underworld, many small worlds—where do you want to go?"
"The Underworld," Lin Feng replied without any hesitation. He planned to go to the Underworld to revive the Green Lotus Commander and Qing Qing. Additionally, this blood debt needed to be repaid.
"If you go to the Underworld, the entry point will be the Heavenly River Battlefield of an Immortal Kingdom Trial Ground. From there, you can go to the Underworld or to the Nine Heavens Continent," the Prophet replied.
"Mm," Lin Feng nodded. Sure enough, it was the Heavenly River Battlefield. He still remembered the innate war king body figure from the divine temple descending from the sky back then, as well as Ao Xu, who had said the same thing. That guy Ao Xu should be in the Tai Yao Realm, which could also directly connect to various worlds.
"When do you set out?" the Prophet asked.
"Teacher, in a few more days, I will set out directly," Lin Feng replied.
"Mm, first cultivate the Fate Guardian to maturity," the Prophet nodded. "I will go first. The path is for you to walk yourself. The Fate Temple will be your backing."
"I understand," Lin Feng nodded, and then the Prophet left this place.
Closing his eyes slightly, Lin Feng sank into his martial soul world. Before him stood a giant figure, emitting a terrifying aura. It was the wisp of consciousness of the ancient saint Qin Shan, continuously growing stronger. As for the Green Lotus Commander and Qing Qing, Lin Feng planned to revive them in the Underworld. After all, they were different from the ancient saint Qin Shan. Qin Shan needed a long recovery process, while they could recover quickly with divine medicine.
"This aura is so strong. It probably won't be long before the ancient saint Qin Shan can strengthen that wisp of consciousness, easily merge with me in battle, or even fight alone. After the Underworld matter is settled, I will go to Qingxiao Continent to find the Rebirth Scripture, and then travel the continent, focusing on breaking through realms, pursuing the path to the peak!"
Lin Feng thought silently in his heart. Now, his goals were clear, his mind was transparent, and he sought only martial arts, just to trample the heavens!
