Chapter 2455: The Plan
The Fate Temple agreed to the agreement. The Supreme Demon Saint could only sigh inwardly. Two years' time, no matter how talented Lin Feng was, it was impossible. Having roamed the world for many years, he had seen many Great Accomplishment Saint Kings and knew how terrifying the gap was. However, he had no choice but to agree to the agreement.
The Hall Master of the Void Divine Temple left with the Heaven Sealing Chart. The experts of the Hall of All Gods withdrew from the Great Yu City. This vast city seemed to have survived a calamity. The battle had only been fought with restraint by all the powerful figures; otherwise, if they had truly ignored everything and fought openly, the entire Great Yu City would have been destroyed.
"Lin Feng, will you return to the Fate Temple with us?" At this moment, the Hall Master of the Fate Temple spoke from the void, asking Lin Feng. Now that the Hall of All Gods had torn off all pretense, Lin Feng's safety was very unstable.
"En, let's go back first." Lin Feng nodded slightly, then turned to look at the crowd beside him.
"It seems we'll have to find a new place to settle down as well." The Ordinary Venerable said with a faint smile.
"Big brother, come to the City of Fate together," Lin Feng said. The two Venerables, Ordinary and Saleng, had stood with him this time and offended the Divine Temples. They couldn't assume that just because the Divine Temples had made an agreement, there wouldn't be other actions. They obviously couldn't stay in Great Yu City anymore, to prevent the other side from settling scores later and wiping them out one by one.
"What Lin Feng said is correct. Friends, you are welcome to visit the Fate Temple," the Hall Master of the Fate Temple said from the void.
"In that case, we'll impose on your hospitality," the Ordinary Venerable said with a smile. Going to the Fate Temple to have a look wasn't a bad idea.
The group of people rose into the air and departed one after another. Even Ao Canghai followed them. It wasn't because Ao Canghai feared the Divine Temples. No matter how the Divine Temples settled accounts, they wouldn't come after him. Otherwise, offending the overlord of the Tai Yao Realm, the Divine Dragon Clan, wouldn't be easy to deal with either.
The experts left, and Great Yu City returned to its former calm. However, everything that had happened in Great Yu City in recent days spread to every corner of the Nine Heavens. Many people looked forward to the gathering of the Divine Temples in the City of Fate two years later. What kind of magnificent battle would that be? Perhaps it might even become an epic battle.
The Fate Temple, the Flame Temple, and the Void Divine Temple seemed to have forgotten the Great Yu City they had once fought over and withdrew their people. For them, the battle two years later was too crucial, far more important than ten or a hundred cities. This time, there might even be a chance to topple a Divine Temple.
In the City of Fate, Lin Feng was sitting cross-legged. In the Starry Sky World, the Supreme Demon Saint had already returned to the mountain peak. Lin Feng appeared not far in front of him and said, "Senior, thank you for helping to resolve this calamity."
"Don't take my words too seriously. For us, it doesn't matter who we guard. If you don't have the ability, Old Ox will naturally find another master for the Starry Sky World. Although the process might be longer, and at that time, I was just scaring them. Besides, those two fellows might not necessarily help you make a move." The Supreme Demon Saint closed his eyes and spoke calmly, as if he had changed into a different person.
"I understand." Lin Feng smiled slightly, then bowed to the Supreme Demon Saint before retreating. Old Ox followed beside him, remaining silent all the way.
"Senior Ox, in the next two years, can you help me gain a bit more time to prepare?" Lin Feng asked. Two years was really too short. He didn't know what kind of enemies he would face, but there was no doubt they would be extremely strong.
"I'll do my best, but I'm afraid it's impossible to make too much progress in such a short time. You need to be mentally prepared to fail two years from now," Old Ox said indifferently, not afraid of discouraging Lin Feng. Lin Feng could understand. He had already reached this level. It was entirely possible to cultivate for ten or fifty years without any major breakthroughs. The agreed time was too short.
"Perhaps, but at least I have to do my best to give myself a chance," Lin Feng replied. Old Ox didn't say anything more and continued walking forward.
"I'll go out first to take care of some matters, then come back to focus on closed-door cultivation for a while. At that time, I'll have to trouble Senior Ox," Lin Feng said. Then he withdrew from the Starry Sky World.
Ordinary and Saleng were staring at the reappearing Lin Feng. Ordinary smiled and said, "What a peculiar world. It can even hide you directly inside. I didn't expect that little thing to trap me for so many years."
As he spoke, Ordinary pointed at the cushion Lin Feng was sitting on, looking very frustrated.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Brother Ordinary, this is just one of the relics of the Divine Tomb. It wasn't really that thing that trapped you. This Starry Sky World is a divine realm. Would Brother Ordinary like to go take a look?"
"Forget it, I'm afraid I won't be able to come out if I go in," Ordinary said with a smile, then winked at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, in the divine realm, are there any super supreme sacred artifacts like the Heaven Sealing Chart?"
Saleng's eyes also lit up. If they could get their hands on such a treasure, they wouldn't be so passive when facing the Hall Masters of the Divine Temples. Now, if they faced a Hall Master holding a Divine Temple's ultimate treasure alone, they would definitely lose, and might even fall.
Lin Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"What about supreme sacred artifacts? Can you get a few to play with?" the Ordinary Venerable said, his eyes gleaming.
"Brother Ordinary, there should be supreme sacred artifacts, but with my current strength, I can't open that door yet. Maybe at most, I can get high-grade Sacred King weapons, which wouldn't be of much use to you," Lin Feng said.
"This divine being is really stingy. He actually makes you wait until your strength reaches a certain level to get the treasures," Ordinary said, frustrated.
"Maybe they're afraid I'll fall when I'm too weak, and then all the treasures would belong to others. The stronger I am, the more powerful the treasures I get, making it harder for me to fall," Lin Feng said with a smile.
"En, it seems the divine being was being cautious," Ordinary nodded slightly. "What are your plans for the next two years?"
"I plan to go into closed-door cultivation for a year first and see if my strength can improve a bit," Lin Feng replied.
"That's good. If there's anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me."
"Definitely," Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Lin Feng." At that moment, a voice came. Lin Feng looked up and saw a figure walking over. It was the Prophet.
"Teacher," Lin Feng called out. The Prophet landed, nodded to Ordinary and Saleng, and said, "Lin Feng, this incident scared me into a cold sweat. I didn't expect the Hall of All Gods to use so much force against you. It's all my fault; I almost harmed you."
Lin Feng shook his head and said, "It was my own carelessness that led to my identity being exposed. It has nothing to do with you, Teacher."
"Let's not talk about that for now. The Divine Temple only gave you two years. It's too short. I'm afraid this battle will be very difficult for you. The Divine Temple is discussing who to send for the other four battles. Come with me." The Prophet led Lin Feng away from there and into the Divine Temple. All the experts of the Divine Temple were there, all at the Great Accomplishment Saint King realm or above.
"Lin Feng, from the moment you stepped into the Fate Temple, you were considered a core member. It's just that due to your strength, you haven't met the core people yet. Now, you can face them directly." The Prophet brought Lin Feng to a seat in front of the crowd and sat down.
The Hall Master turned his gaze to Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, we have already begun to recall the talented disciples who are out, including those who were on the Nine Heavens Meeting battle platform with you in the past. They may all become candidates for the battle two years from now. Do you have anyone to recommend?"
"I don't know their current strength, so it's hard to say. My senior brother, Hou Qinglin, can handle the battle at his level," Lin Feng said. With Hou Qinglin's Reincarnation power, he should be enough for one battle.
"Hou Qinglin is not bad, but I feel he lacks some foundation. After all, he hasn't been in the Saint realm for long. Two years from now, I don't know how far he can cultivate the Reincarnation power," the Fate Temple Hall Master said, looking at the Reincarnation Priest.
"Two years is indeed a bit short. The opponent's fighters will definitely be geniuses among geniuses. We must send the most suitable people to fight. After all, your own battle, Lin Feng, is very likely to be lost."
The Reincarnation Priest didn't mean to belittle Lin Feng. Everyone could see his achievements. But two years was like a snap of the fingers. Even fifty years wasn't enough for them. A Great Accomplishment Saint King, even a genius, needed to count growth in units of tens of millions of years, or even hundreds of thousands or millions of years.
"One year from now, let them have internal competitions first to see who is most suitable. At the same time, we need to get in touch with some neutral Divine Temples, and also the Tai Yao Realm," another supreme expert said at this moment, causing everyone to nod. This was indeed the most urgent matter. Although this battle was important, they wouldn't think that the outcome of this battle was everything. Absolute strength was the foundation.
"En, I'm afraid someone will have to go to the Tai Yao Realm and the various Divine Temples," the Hall Master said.
"I'll go," the Prophet's voice rang out. The Hall Master looked at him and smiled, "Mo Tian, now that your two bodies have merged into one, I'm not worried about your strength. You've managed the internal and external affairs of the Divine Temple for many years, so you are indeed suitable to go."
"Alright, I'll set off now. Also, Lin Feng, let me first take you to see an old friend of yours," the Prophet said, taking his leave. He led Lin Feng away from there. Soon, they arrived at a great hall. Lin Feng immediately saw a figure walking toward him.
"Haha, little fellow, I didn't expect you to be so famous now. Not bad, not bad, worthy of being taught by this Saint," the old Daoist walked forward, his face full of smiles, looking very lecherous. "I heard you killed quite a few Saint Kings. Coincidentally, this Saint has been researching Saint King weapons recently. Just casually throw a few out for this Saint to take a look."
