# Chapter 2320: Invitation Letter
After his confrontation with Qionghai Ya, Lin Feng returned to the territory established by the Ancient Realm Clan. He attempted to contact Qing Feng, but still to no avail. Qing Feng was likely still under confinement. A few days later, Lin Feng received concrete news: the person who had used the Phoenix Blood Order to summon Qing Feng from the Fengxu Clan was none other than Qionghai Ya.
Now, Qionghai Ya had established contact with the Fengxu Clan. On the day Qing Feng was confined, he had gone to the Fengxu Clan precisely to propose a marriage alliance. This put considerable pressure on Lin Feng. Qionghai Ya was not Huo Xingsi; his surname was Qiong, the surname of a deity. Everyone understood the significance this surname carried within the Flame Temple.
Unable to contact Qing Feng, Lin Feng unexpectedly received a sudden invitation letter today, delivered directly to the Ancient Realm Clan, with instructions to be placed in his hands.
Lin Feng looked at the invitation letter, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"This material alone must be extremely precious, so sturdy and durable." Lin Feng chuckled softly, then turned his gaze to the signature at the bottom. The handwriting was elegant and flowing, as if imprinted within the material: "Mu Shanzi."
The graceful strokes seemed to contain a special temperament and charm, unrestrained and free-spirited.
"Who is this Mu Shanzi?" Lin Feng was still quite unfamiliar with the Nine Heavens Celestial Court. After all, he had only been there for a relatively short time, especially compared to those who had spent millions of years within it. His time here was but a drop in the ocean, insignificant. He didn't even know who Mu Shanzi was.
"I've already made inquiries. This Mu Shanzi is from the Mu Shan Clan of the Thousand Mountains Ancient Region, and also a powerful figure of the Radiant Gold Divine Temple. A hundred years ago, he had already stepped into the Saint Emperor realm, achieving Dao Perfection. Now he is a peak Saint Emperor figure of terrifying strength. Mu Shanzi hasn't made a move in a long time, but many speculate that his strength may already be approaching that of a Limit Saint Emperor."
"Limit Saint Emperor, similar titles to so-called Invincible Sovereign Lord or Invincible Martial Emperor, I suppose." Lin Feng murmured softly. After the Venerable Martial realm, titles like Invincible and Limit appeared, clearly designations for peak figures within a realm. However, the Nine Heavens Celestial Court's title for Limit Saint Emperor figures was evidently less ostentatious; they didn't call them Invincible Saint Emperor, but rather Limit Saint Emperor.
"Yes, Limit Saint Emperor. They are already among the strongest batch below the Saint-Entry stage. There aren't many in the Nine Heavens Celestial Court, extremely rare in number." The Ancient Realm Clan elder beside Lin Feng responded calmly, causing Lin Feng to nod slightly. "This Mu Shanzi might be approaching Limit Saint Emperor. Then Qionghai Ya, who once clashed with me, has he reached Limit Saint Emperor?"
"As for the measure of Limit Saint Emperor, the Nine Heavens Celestial Court doesn't simply refer to those who have achieved Dao Perfection and cultivated their realm to the peak. Before stepping into the Saint stage, everyone must experience this realm. However, because people differ, the combat power of figures at this level varies drastically. For example, if one day you reach the peak of Saint Emperor with Dao Perfection, how could your combat power be comparable to ordinary people at the same realm? Therefore, to obtain the title of Limit Saint Emperor, you must have brilliant achievements. For instance, defeating someone already recognized as a Limit Saint Emperor. According to the information I know, Qionghai Ya hasn't accomplished this yet."
"Even Qionghai Ya hasn't done it." Lin Feng's expression flickered. It seemed the Nine Heavens Celestial Court had high requirements for Limit Saint Emperor. The old monster that appeared when he annihilated the Ji Clan—whether in his prime he could have obtained the title of Limit Saint Emperor was uncertain. But without a doubt, Limit Saint Emperor figures of the Nine Heavens Celestial Court were beings of astonishing combat power, almost unmatched below the Saint stage.
And this Mu Shanzi had likely reached that level.
"Why would he invite me?" Lin Feng chuckled softly, murmuring to himself. The invitation letter invited him, Lin Feng, to the Mu Shan Clan in the Thousand Mountains Domain for a gathering. Judging by the wording, many powerful figures would be present, clearly not just him alone.
"Although you've only appeared twice in the Nine Heavens Celestial Court, that's enough to attract attention. Coupled with the Ancient Realm Clan's long disappearance, it naturally draws interest. So it's not surprising that he invited you." The Ancient Realm Clan elder beside him smiled. Lin Feng asked, "Do you know what Mu Shanzi's invitation is about?"
"It seems to be about a forbidden land." The elder replied, causing Lin Feng to look at him with surprise. The Ancient Realm Clan seemed to know more than he had imagined. Their re-entry into the Nine Heavens Celestial Court—was it truly just a sudden decision? They had likely paved the way long ago, waiting for this day for a very long time. Even during their last confrontation with the Flame Temple, the Ancient Realm Clan's Saint Emperor experts could casually produce so many people, showing the depth of their foundation.
"Forbidden land!" Lin Feng murmured. He wasn't very familiar with the figures of the Nine Heavens Celestial Court, but he had read so many records in the Fate Temple about the world's seven forbidden lands. How could he not know about them? Chu Chunqiu—wasn't he once in the Ganges Time of the Divine Forbidden Land in the Tai Yao Realm? He was probably extremely powerful by now as well.
"If I go, I'll likely meet many peak figures below the Saint stage." Lin Feng chuckled softly. The elder nodded slightly. "Mu Shanzi's invitation is extended to those at least on the same level as him. There will be no shortage of Divine Temple experts, and they will all be core-level figures. If you go, you will indeed see a batch of extraordinary people."
"Thousand Mountains Ancient Region, Mu Shan Clan." Lin Feng murmured, then nodded slightly. "I'll go!"
"I look forward to your continued growth. If your realm reaches the peak of Saint Emperor, on par with them, killing a Limit Saint Emperor might no longer be difficult for you." The elder said with a smile. Lin Feng neither confirmed nor denied it, saying nothing. His current realm was still at the early stage of the Dominance Realm. He was now perfecting the world within his body, while also strengthening and expanding his Dominance Force, enhancing his Dominance Dao to dominate even more powerful forces. If compared to others' cultivation realms, he might already be approaching the Saint Emperor realm, but clearly still some distance from the peak of Saint Emperor.
Indeed, as the Ancient Realm Clan elder had said, Lin Feng was not the only one to receive an invitation. Powerful figures from various domains and ancient regions of the Nine Heavens Celestial Court had also received invitation letters. However, unlike Lin Feng, because they had been active within the Nine Heavens Celestial Court all along, they could contact each other. After learning it was about the forbidden land, various experts, including those from Divine Temples, set out from different directions toward the Radiant Gold Divine Temple's sphere of influence. On this day, Lin Feng also began his journey to the Thousand Mountains Ancient Region. This was Lin Feng's first time traveling such a long distance across the Nine Heavens Celestial Court. His incarnated avatar in the Fate Temple was only active within the Fate Temple's sphere of influence. After all, the Hall of All Gods was hunting him; his incarnated avatar couldn't venture too far, as it would easily be spotted.
"Little one, the world's seven forbidden lands—the Tai Yao Realm occupies three of them, along with many other terrifying ancient ruins, all very dangerous. You've been in the Dragon Clan for some years. Do you know the situation of the three forbidden lands in the Tai Yao Realm?" Lin Feng sat on Ao Mo's back, riding the clouds, and asked Ao Mo.
"Boss, the three forbidden lands of the Tai Yao Realm—Ganges Time, Ancient Demon Cave, and Divine Beast Tomb—are all very dangerous. Otherwise, they wouldn't be called forbidden lands. However, the most mysterious place should be Ganges Time. Legend has it that in the distant past, it was once the sacred ground of the Time Divine Temple. Almost no one who has ventured deep into Ganges Time is said to have come out alive. Even more bizarre is a rumor that a Limit Saint Emperor once entered and barely escaped, only to die of old age. A young Limit Saint Emperor actually died of old age outside Ganges Time, his life force completely dried up."
"Ganges Time, Time Divine Temple!" Lin Feng's expression tightened. The Prophet had once told him that Divine Temples also had their cycles of rise and fall. He had also read some brief records about Divine Temples. The Time Divine Temple was one of the oldest Divine Temples, like the former Ganges Sand Divine Temple. Later, the Ganges Sand Divine Temple became the Buddha Divine Temple, while the Time Divine Temple disappeared through the ages.
"The Ancient Demon Cave is said to have claimed countless lives, becoming a Death Demon Cave. It contains many terrifying, unknown existences. Some have entered and come out, but they went mad or became idiots." Ao Mo continued. "As for the Divine Beast Tomb, although it's a forbidden land, outsiders can't even think of entering. It's guarded by many demon clans of the Tai Yao Realm. Rumor has it that the Divine Beast Tomb buried many great divine beasts from ancient times. Even if the demon clans dare not enter, they won't allow humans to set foot there."
"Mm." Lin Feng nodded slightly. Since it was a Divine Beast Tomb, it was natural for the various demon clans of the Tai Yao Realm to guard it.
"In the Tai Yao Realm, which races or forces are the most powerful?" Lin Feng asked.
"Our Dragon Clan is naturally one of the most powerful. Also, there are the so-called divine beast clans of the Tai Yao Realm: the Divine Phoenix Clan, the Qilin Clan, and so on. Of course, there are also some non-demon mysterious races that are extremely formidable. Boss, later you can come with me to the Tai Yao Realm and see for yourself." Ao Mo said with some anticipation. Lin Feng smiled. In the Nine Heavens Celestial Court, those powerful figures didn't refer to demon beasts as divine beasts, especially the Divine Temples, which only acknowledged the deities of the temples. But in the Tai Yao Realm, they themselves called those strongest races divine beast races.
