# Chapter 2494: Conspiracy Revealed

In the Nine Heavens, within the City of Fate, there was an ordinary small hut. Lin Feng was here.

Inside Lin Feng's own world, the sky was shattered, energy leaked outward, continuously entering the external starry sky world, because Lin Feng's body was currently in the starry sky world.

"A hundred years, and still unable to repair it." Lin Feng sighed. A hundred years ago, he had fought a great battle with the Ice and Fire Supreme, and his inner world had shattered, causing him to suffer extremely severe injuries. Moreover, no matter what kind of power he used, he could not heal the wounds. These injuries were not external wounds but were caused by the shattering of his world. Now, this world was like his heart, which was also why he rarely fought battles within his own world.

That battle had tested how formidable his combat power was within his own world, enough to severely wound the Ice and Fire Supreme, and it had also tested the sturdiness of his world. However, he had paid a painful price for it. Now, he could no longer mobilize his power, probably not even matching an ordinary Supreme Realm cultivator. This was because all the power he had cultivated over these years came from within and extended outward, inseparable from his inner world.

At this moment, in the Void Pavilion, Lin Feng and Old Ox sat facing each other. Only Old Ox and a few demonic beasts from the starry sky world had found him and entered his world.

"Brother Ox, not recovering for a hundred years—could this be my fate?" Lin Feng said calmly. Although he was severely injured, he still possessed the bearing of a sovereign.

"Destruction leads to rebirth. Perhaps this is your opportunity," Old Ox said with a smile. "But this Yin and Yang energy is indeed formidable. You have an inner world that has opened up heaven and earth, with heaven as profound and earth as yellow. You have also comprehended the Five Elements power, Space power, and the true essence of Time. If you can also obtain Yin and Yang, then this world will be truly complete."

"Heaven, earth, Yin and Yang—all the forces of the world are inseparable from Yin and Yang. Has the Ice and Fire Supreme, having comprehended Yin and Yang energy, stepped into the Divine Realm?"

"Although I do not know what the Divine Realm is, he is certainly not there yet," Old Ox said.

"Brother Ox, you once hinted that the Divine Realm is related to eternity. Could there be some truth to that?"

"In the past, my master told me this. Perhaps it was left for a future successor, which might be you," Old Ox said with a smile. "You are now in a low valley (digu), but great changes are happening in the Nine Heavens. It's better to quietly meditate and cut off contact with the outside world. There are countless eyes watching you now."

"En." Lin Feng nodded slightly, then looked at his shattered world and murmured softly, "My path has always been different from others. Perhaps the so-called fusion technique is not necessarily the path I should take. Now, I have comprehended unique Time power, as well as the Five Elements, Space, and have obtained the elements that make up a world. Profound and Yellow Qi were born when the world first formed. I think if I can also obtain Yin and Yang, this world can truly be repaired and become truly complete, because then the world would contain all the elements a world should have."

"That's one way to think about it, but if you had pursued these powers from the beginning without fusing them, how would you have fought against Supreme Realm cultivators?" Old Ox said with a smile, causing Lin Feng to nod slightly.

"It seems I still need to comprehend another power, borrowing the power of Heavenly Fate to seize the creation of heaven and earth." Lin Feng looked up at the sky, his gaze extremely sharp. Even though the dragon was now stranded in shallow waters, he still possessed the spirit of a sovereign.

"Father." At this moment, Zhetian came over and called out to Lin Feng.

"How is the situation in the Nine Heavens?" Lin Feng asked.

"The three major hegemonic powers are still at peace with each other, with no one making the first move. The other forces in the Nine Heavens are still firmly suppressed. As for Father's friends, they are still being pursued by various forces. However, Father told them to go to other worlds or the lower realms, so now they have no trace in the Nine Heavens." Zhetian spoke slowly, causing Lin Feng to nod slightly.

"Someone is coming." At this moment, Old Ox spoke, and Lin Feng withdrew from his own world. Outside, Lin Feng opened his eyes and saw a handsome figure standing before him. However, because he had changed his appearance, he dared not immediately recognize him.

"Senior Brother." Lin Feng called out with a smile. Only then did Hou Qinglin reveal a smile. "Lin Feng, I didn't expect you to have been in the City of Fate all along. That's quite bold."

"The more dangerous the place, the safer it is." Lin Feng smiled. However, at that moment, Lin Feng's smile suddenly changed. Then, waves of terrifying aura swept over, and Lin Feng saw many powerful figures descending from the sky. Hou Qinglin's face instantly turned pale.

"How could this be?" Hou Qinglin was at the Supreme Realm. If he had been followed, he would definitely have known.

"Lin Feng, go." Seeing that Lin Feng now had no aura at all, Hou Qinglin stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Feng.

"Senior Brother, the Ice and Fire Supreme will appear soon. Let's leave together." Lin Feng said.

"How can we shake them off if we leave together? Lin Feng, I am your senior brother. Now, listen to me and go." Hou Qinglin turned back to look at Lin Feng and said.

"I'll deal with them. You take Lin Feng and leave." Old Ox's figure appeared. Hou Qinglin's expression froze for a moment. Lin Feng nodded slightly at him and said, "Don't worry, Brother Ox's strength is no problem."

"Alright." Hou Qinglin nodded. Then his body flickered, and together with Zhetian, he carried Lin Feng and broke through the air to leave. Meanwhile, Old Ox stepped forward and shouted coldly, "Time!"

As his voice fell, time seemed to slow down. Those who wanted to track Lin Feng had no choice but to stop.

Hou Qinglin and Zhetian carried Lin Feng and fled at full speed. Hou Qinglin said to Lin Feng, "I'm certain I wasn't followed. Why did the Ice and Snow Supreme's people suddenly descend?"

"As expected." Lin Feng said, causing Hou Qinglin's gaze to freeze. He looked at Lin Feng and asked, "You knew in advance? Then why did you do this?"

"I wanted to test whether one of my guesses was correct. If it is, then you and I will not escape this calamity sooner or later." Lin Feng said, causing Hou Qinglin's expression to stiffen. A moment later, more powerful figures appeared, and terrifying auras swept over.

"I'll go." Zhetian's figure moved like the wind. He stepped forward, and a super sacred artifact suddenly appeared in his hand—it was the Executioner's Sword.

"Time, freeze!" Zhetian spat out a single word, and time seemed to be frozen. Hou Qinglin, who had turned back, froze in shock. "That boy Zhetian has also comprehended the power of Purple Bamboo. So strong."

As his voice fell, he saw the Executioner's Sword slash down, instantly swallowing a Supreme Realm cultivator.

"He's lucky. He has a good teacher and is naturally gifted in various powers. How could he not succeed?" Lin Feng smiled. "Don't worry about that kid's safety. He has ways to escape."

"En." Hou Qinglin nodded.

At this moment, in the Fate Temple, an old figure sat cross-legged. This old man's robes were tattered and torn, yet extremely clean. He sat there, seemingly with his eyes closed, perfectly still.

Beside him, a figure slowly appeared and came to the old man's side.

"Temple Master, you've returned!" The person who appeared spoke. The one sitting there was none other than the Temple Master of the Fate Temple.

"Master long ago prophesied that I would have a calamity in my fate. I never expected that this calamity would be you. I was puzzled as to why you could never reach the Supreme Realm, until a hundred years ago when you instigated Lin Feng. Then I understood." The Fate Temple Master said calmly.

"Temple Master, you are thoughtful. But I don't understand why you still came back."

"Since it is a calamity in my fate, why should I avoid it? I just have one question. You have gone to great lengths, all for the taboo, and have almost followed his path of growth. But why are you doing this?"

"All the people of the Nine Heavens, the masses, aren't they all pursuing the same goal?" The person said softly.

"But you could have dominated his life long ago. Why did you keep waiting?"

"There are some things that even I did not anticipate." The person sighed. "Alright, today I will use the power you taught me to make you disappear. You should rest in peace."

As his voice fell, a terrifying power descended upon the Fate Temple Master. This power was like a heavenly fate calamity. Several beams of white light directly struck down, causing the Temple Master's body to crack open.

"En?" The person frowned, his expression stiff, and said, "Why aren't you resisting?"

The Fate Temple Master opened his eyes, looked at him, and actually revealed a smile. "I am destined to die. I hope my death can give birth to a generation of Martial Gods."

As his voice fell, his figure directly shattered. Everything vanished into smoke, causing the person's expression to stiffen.

Lin Feng's footsteps suddenly stopped. He took out a jade slip—a broken jade slip. His heart ached slightly. He had once attacked the Temple Master.

"Senior Brother, you go." Lin Feng said to Hou Qinglin, causing Hou Qinglin's expression to stiffen.

"Lin Feng, you underestimate your senior brother too much." Hou Qinglin smiled. How could he leave?

"Alright then. Senior Brother, go cultivate in my world. I need to see someone." Lin Feng smiled, then a surge of aura enveloped Hou Qinglin, directly pulling his body into the world. At this moment, a figure walked over slowly. It was none other than the Demon Saint Dishi.

"Come with me." The Demon Saint Dishi said calmly to Lin Feng.

"Where to?" Lin Feng asked.

"The Ancient Demon Cave. Awaken the ancient Demon King. Overturn the heavens, dye the Nine Heavens with blood."

"What if I don't go?" Lin Feng said.

"You are my shadow. We are the same existence. If I go, you must go." The Demon Saint Dishi spoke slowly, causing Lin Feng to smile. He did not expose the other party.

"Give me one hour, and I will go with you." Lin Feng said indifferently.

"Agreed." The Demon Saint Dishi nodded slightly.
