# Chapter 2340: Opportunity for Sainthood
Inside the Fate Temple, Lin Feng's avatar sat together with the Prophet. At this moment, the Prophet's brows were tightly furrowed as he looked at Lin Feng, his expression slightly fluctuating.
"You're saying that within the Ancient Demon Cave, there is a blood-colored demon moon with an ancient royal court, and upon that royal court sits a demon king figure?" The Prophet was very surprised. Even he did not know what kind of existence the Ancient Demon Cave was, so hearing Lin Feng's account, he appeared quite shocked.
"En. Upon the throne of the royal court, the demon king held a demon blade, trapped in slumber, yet he could communicate with me through thought (yìniàn), asking me to awaken him and inherit his power." Lin Feng said to the Prophet. In this world, the Prophet was one of the people who knew most of his secrets, and there wasn't much he needed to hide from him.
"But I didn't trust him that much, so I chose to leave. He didn't make things difficult for me either and let me go freely from the Ancient Demon Cave." Lin Feng continued.
"You mean to say that this ancient demon lord, even while in slumber, could still dominate the Ancient Demon Cave, and that you were able to walk out alive only because he allowed it?"
"That must be the case. Otherwise, I can't think of any other reason how we could have easily walked out of the Ancient Demon Cave."
"I never imagined the Ancient Demon Cave held such hidden secrets. The world still praises the strength of Flame Temple's Qiong Jiutian and Qiong Haiya for walking out of the Ancient Demon Cave alive, not knowing that their good fortune was because of you. As for the ancient demon king you mentioned, I cannot know what kind of existence he is either." The Prophet shook his head. "If I have the chance, I will discuss it with the Temple Master to see if he can make a guess. After all, even the High Priestess of the Heavenly Sound Temple was trapped in the Ancient Demon Cave and lost her memory. This is too terrifying."
"Every single demon inside there is terrifyingly powerful, many of them ancient strong ones. Also, have you ever heard of a person from a thousand years ago called the Demon Emperor?" Lin Feng asked again. This was his greatest doubt. The Demon Emperor—who was he? The demon king on the throne had said that Lin Feng himself was the Demon Emperor.
"The Demon Emperor of a thousand years ago!" The Prophet's expression solidified (níng). "You should be referring to Demon Saint Di Xi. He once used the alias Demon Emperor. He left few traces in the Nine Heavens Celestial Court, and few people know of him. But those who do know him are all aware of how terrifying this person is. Moreover, the one who understands Di Xi best is probably our Fate Temple, because a thousand years ago, it is said that the Wheel of Fate of the Fate Temple may have turned once because of him. And a thousand years later, it turned because of you."
"Demon Saint Di Xi." Lin Feng's pupils contracted. A thousand years ago, the Wheel of Fate of the Fate Temple turned because of him. Today, it turned for him, Lin Feng. Everything seemed fated in an unseen way, like the reincarnation (lúnhuí) and convergence (chónghé) of fate, as if to make him believe the demon king's words—that he was the Demon Emperor.
"Demon Saint Di Xi—what kind of person was he?" Lin Feng asked.
"Mysterious, powerful. His rise was like yours—completed in a very short time. But his disappearance was equally swift. Just when the temple wanted to trace his footsteps, he vanished forever, as if he had never appeared. Some speculate that he traveled the world seeking supreme power, while others guess that he was secretly killed by the Hall of All Gods." The Prophet said slowly.
"I think those guesses might all be wrong. The Demon Emperor—he might have entered the Ancient Demon Cave." Lin Feng said, causing the Prophet's pupils to contract (níng). "Di Xi entered the Ancient Demon Cave?"
"Yes. I saw his handwritten words in the Ancient Demon Cave, and they were in the royal court. He seemed to have countless connections with that ancient demon king."
The Prophet frowned. "Are you sure you didn't see wrong? That it was his handwriting?"
"I am very certain. I had seen his handwriting once before. In all the world, there could not be another person with that handwriting." Lin Feng said very affirmatively.
"In that case, I really do need to communicate with the Temple Master about this." The Prophet's expression sharpened as he murmured. Demon Saint Di Xi, a man who defied fate, was absolutely a mysterious and terrifying existence. No wonder there had been no news of him for a thousand years—he had actually stepped into the Ancient Demon Cave, one of the Seven Great Forbidden Lands.
"Lin Feng, there's another matter you need to prepare for. Your combat power should now be at the level of peak Saint Emperor, right?" The Prophet asked Lin Feng.
"En." Lin Feng nodded.
"Good fortune. I wonder if you'll get the opportunity to enter the Saint rank this time." The Prophet said with a smile. Although the Forbidden Body had no realms, Lin Feng could still give it a try. Though there were no realms, it could still be compared by analogy.
Lin Feng showed a puzzled expression as he looked at the Prophet.
"In the Nine Heavens Celestial Court, there is a sealed region called the Domain of Sainthood. This region opens once every thousand years, and within it lies the fortune of sainthood. Those at the peak of Saint Emperor have the opportunity to attain sainthood. Every thousand years, the peak Saint Emperor figures of the Nine Heavens Celestial Court all rush to the Domain of Sainthood. Even some very ancient Saint Emperors who have been seeking their opportunity will go, seizing this fortune of sainthood. Moreover, the Domain of Sainthood never disappoints. Once every thousand years, it must confer sainthood upon three saints, or even more, depending on the fortune and talent of those who enter the domain."
"Now, the opening of the Domain of Sainthood is not far off. I'm afraid that strong practitioners from all over the Nine Heavens Celestial Court are already on their way to the Domain of Sainthood." The Prophet said with a smile, causing Lin Feng to show a surprised expression. The world of the Nine Heavens Celestial Court actually had a Domain of Sainthood where one could find the fortune of sainthood. This was definitely a terrifying great opportunity.
"How was the Domain of Sainthood formed? How does it possess such powerful fortune that allows people to attain sainthood?" Lin Feng asked in surprise.
"It is said that at the end of the ancient era, some great supreme strong ones created it. I have heard that there are also some secrets within, which led those strong ones to reach a consensus. They destroyed countless ancient places but also created some wondrous locations in the Nine Heavens Celestial Court. The Domain of Sainthood is one of them." The Prophet replied to Lin Feng, who nodded slightly. The continent had evolved over countless years, and there were too many secrets he did not know. Since some places existed, they had their reasons and value for existing.
"It's a pity. This time, when you went to the Ancient Demon Cave, many Saint Emperor-level prodigies fell. Many of them even had the ability of ultimate (jíxiàn) Saint Emperors. Of course, the opening of the Domain of Sainthood this time will trigger even greater waves. The Ancient Demon Cave is a forbidden land, and many are unwilling to set foot in it, including some reclusive older generation figures. But the Domain of Sainthood will make them all jump out one by one." The Prophet said with a smile.
Lin Feng naturally understood. Some old monsters at the Saint Emperor realm had cultivated for many years but still could not transcend to sainthood and step into the Saint rank. With this fortune of sainthood descending, how could they miss it? Even if the chances were one in ten thousand, they would fight desperately for it, just for that sliver of possibility.
"At that time, should I appear as Lin Feng or as the Evil God of the Ancient Realm Clan when I step into the Domain of Sainthood?" Lin Feng said with a smile. The Prophet laughed. "That's up to you. Just make sure to keep the two identities separate. Don't let anyone know that Lin Feng and the Evil God are the same person."
"I understand." Lin Feng nodded.
"Also, the disciples of our Fate Temple don't go out and move around as often as those of other temples. But this time, with the Domain of Sainthood opening, the Fate Temple will also send many strong practitioners. It's best not to have conflicts with them." The Prophet advised Lin Feng. Lin Feng nodded slightly.
It wasn't just the Fate Temple. Now, all the major temples were already gathering their Saint Emperor-level strong practitioners, all preparing for the opening of the Domain of Sainthood. The opportunity for sainthood was very rare. Moreover, for the top geniuses of the temples, this was not only an opportunity for sainthood but also a chance to see the strong practitioners of the Nine Heavens. Even every time the Domain of Sainthood opened, people from the Tai Yao Realm would disguise themselves and join in the fun.
"How is the situation with the Fengxu Family in the Youtian Ancient Realm?" Lin Feng asked.
"There's nothing much over there. The girl Qingfeng is under house arrest by the Fengxu Family. But now, the Ten Absolutes Old Man is staying at the Fengxu Family as a guest, so they don't dare to force anything. However, I heard that Qiong Haiya actually walked out of the Ancient Demon Cave this time, so the Fengxu Family is even more eager to marry Qingfeng into the Flame Temple. Of course, you don't need to worry about this. Even if they really want to push this marriage alliance, it will happen after the Domain of Sainthood closes."
"En." Lin Feng nodded slightly. He still needed to keep track of the news from over there at all times.
"There are so many reclusive Saint Emperor old monsters in the Nine Heavens Celestial Court, all waiting for their opportunity, along with countless Saint Emperor geniuses. I wonder who will be fortunate enough to obtain the fortune of sainthood this time and step into the Saint realm." The Prophet said with a smile.
Lin Feng could feel from the other's words that the opening of the Domain of Sainthood this time would probably cause a sensation throughout the Nine Heavens Celestial Court. After all, saints were relatively rare, but the number of Saint Emperor-level figures across the entire Nine Heavens Celestial Court was absolutely enormous. Mu Shanzi had invited many strong practitioners to the Ancient Demon Cave, but the people he knew were limited. He didn't know many of the older generation or even the older older generation—only those he had come into contact with or heard about. But this time was different. No one needed to invite anyone. Everyone would go on their own, including people from the Tai Yao Realm.
At this moment, Lin Feng's true body was quietly cultivating in the Ancient Realm Clan. Few people even knew that he had also walked out of the Ancient Demon Cave alive. After returning to the Ancient Realm Clan, his true body had not gone out. Since he had encountered this opportunity of the Domain of Sainthood, he naturally had to strive for it!
