Chapter 943: Tianshu Zi's Embarrassment
Lin Feng's figure flickered as he arrived at the central axis of the seven peaks. At this moment, Qiongqi was continuously panting, appearing quite exhausted. Just as he had said, setting up this heaven-covering formation was an immense burden for him, who was only at the Heavenly Demon realm, and he seemed somewhat strained.
"Are you alright?" Lin Feng asked.
"Setting up a mere sacred pattern formation—how could anything happen? If I, the Emperor, had my former cultivation, I could accomplish it with a wave of my hand. Of course, I wouldn't even deign to use such a formation." Qiongqi held his head high. Lin Feng shot him a fierce glare. It seemed his concern was unnecessary; this bastard could only be in trouble if the sky fell.
"Fine, I'll put you away first. We can't let anyone know you did this, or everyone will be watching you." Lin Feng spoke. Qiongqi nodded knowingly. Indeed, if anyone found out that this beast had set up such a heaven-covering sacred pattern formation, they would surely suspect he had been reincarnated. If news got out, even more terrifying individuals might come looking for him.
Lin Feng put Qiongqi into the Snow Demon Tower, then flickered toward the entrance of the Heavenly Lake. The formation was complete; those people who wanted to touch the Heavenly Lake could dream on!
Moments later, Lin Feng arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Lake. The seven peak masters seated above all looked at Lin Feng.
"Xiao Feng, what's going on?" Snow Venerable asked Lin Feng. He could vaguely sense a strange power within the Heavenly Lake, as if a great force of heaven and earth was coalescing.
"Teacher." Lin Feng nodded to Snow Venerable, then looked at the others and said, "Peak Masters, you may now lead the people of your respective peaks back to your main peaks. The Heavenly Lake is inviolable."
"Oh?" The crowd's eyes narrowed. Snow Venerable's gaze flickered, then he seemed to understand something, silently cursing himself for being too talkative. He recalled what had happened at the Snow Moon Imperial Palace and the terrifying sacred pattern killing formation at the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly. He didn't need to be told that Lin Feng was behind it. How could he ask about such things? It would only bring great trouble to Lin Feng.
"What big talk. We go to our main peaks—are we supposed to rely on you to resist the enemy? Don't forget, all those people came because of you. If anything happens to the Heavenly Lake, you should be the first to commit suicide in atonement." Tianshu Zi said coldly.
Lin Feng glanced at Tianshu Zi, a hint of pity in his eyes. He sneered. Just wait and cry.
"Senior Tianshu Zi, if you care so much about the Heavenly Lake and wish to guard it here, Lin Feng naturally has no objection." Lin Feng smiled faintly, then looked at the peak masters and said, "Peak Masters, Lin Feng has placed some treasures on each main peak that can trigger powerful killing formation forces. No one will be able to invade the Heavenly Lake. Please lead your people to your own main peaks and guard the Heavenly Lake."
Hearing Lin Feng's certainty, the crowd grew even more astonished. They looked toward the snowy mountains; that strange power was indeed still there, and it was extremely strong.
"Good!" Tianji Old Man nodded, stood up, and said to the crowd, "Take your people back to your main peaks."
Then, Tianji Old Man took the lead, stepping forward and saying to the crowd, "People of Tianji Peak, follow me back to the main peak!"
With a slight nod to Lin Feng, Tianji Old Man drifted away.
Then, Snow Venerable also stood up, stepped into the void, and said, "People of Tianxuan Peak, follow me back to the main peak!"
Next, the leaders of Tianquan Peak, Yaoguang Peak, and others all led their people back to their main peaks. Soon, the endless crowd at the entrance of the snowy mountains had all disappeared, leaving only Tianshu Zi staring coldly at Lin Feng.
"Stay or go, it's up to you." Lin Feng uttered indifferently, then stepped away, returning to the summit of Tianxuan Peak's main peak.
Tianshu Zi's face was ugly. Finally, he stood up and led the people of Tianshu Peak away from there, back to their own main peak.
When the peak masters led their people back to the summits of their main peaks, they immediately felt a faint aura spreading down from the peaks, enveloping the entire main peak. Their bodies couldn't help but tremble slightly. This was... the aura of Essence!
Now, their entire main peaks were filled with the aura of Essence. How terrifying was that!
All the peak masters were deeply shaken. What had Lin Feng done? He had covered their entire main peaks with a layer of great power, with strong Essence aura permeating the air. Now, their main peaks would become cultivation holy lands.
"Lin Feng, this great gift of yours leaves me, an old man, at a loss for words." At this moment, on the summit of Tianji Peak, Tianji Old Man stood in the void, his rolling voice spreading across the Heavenly Lake. Turning the main peaks into cultivation holy lands—this was no ordinary treasure could achieve. Lin Feng had given the Heavenly Lake an incredibly generous gift.
"Haha, right! Lin Feng, from now on, in just a few decades, the Heavenly Lake will surely become the absolute overlord of the Qian Domain." A vigorous voice came from Yaoguang Main Peak.
"I plan to designate this main peak as the cultivation holy land of our Tianquan lineage. Only disciples with true faith will be allowed to cultivate here, to prevent any parasites from emerging." This was the voice from Tianquan Peak.
"Lin Feng is a member of the Heavenly Lake. Making the Heavenly Lake strong is my duty. Why should the seniors be so polite? Moreover, the seniors united to face the enemy for my sake, Lin Feng. Such kindness is beyond my ability to repay. I beg the uncles and masters not to embarrass Lin Feng further."
Lin Feng's voice came from Tianxuan Peak. Snow Venerable, Sword Venerable, and Fire Venerable were all by Lin Feng's side, their faces showing faint smiles. Having such a disciple in the Tianxuan lineage naturally filled them with pride.
"Alright, if we say more, we'll be insincere. This Essence aura contains a great formation power. Lin Feng, tell us how to trigger this power." Tianji Old Man said with a smile. With their cultivation, how could they not sense the formidable aura of this killing formation power?
Lin Feng hadn't deceived them. The Heavenly Lake was now inviolable. At least in the Qian Domain, no one could touch the Heavenly Lake.
Most people in the Heavenly Lake were cheering, their hearts filled with joy. Only on one main peak, hearing the cheerful voices of the others, Tianshu Zi's face grew darker and darker. The disciples of Tianshu Peak also felt they couldn't hold their heads up. From what the other peak masters said, Lin Feng had turned their main peaks into cultivation holy lands. But on Tianshu Peak, aside from a powerful formation force, there was nothing—far from a cultivation holy land.
Clearly, Lin Feng was deliberately sabotaging Tianshu Peak.
But this seemed only natural. The discord between Tianshu Peak and Lin Feng was well known. Their peak master, Tianshu Zi, had repeatedly called for Lin Feng's expulsion from the Heavenly Lake. Now that Lin Feng had treasures, why would he give any to Tianshu Peak? All the other main peaks had them, but Tianshu Peak was forgotten. Soon, Tianshu Peak would likely be surpassed by the others, becoming the weakest peak in the Heavenly Lake.
At this moment, Tianshu Zi seemed to want to say something but couldn't utter a word. He just scowled. If Lin Feng wouldn't give it to him, could he snatch it? Besides, now the peak masters of the Heavenly Lake were exceptionally polite to Lin Feng. If he dared to do anything to Lin Feng, he would become a target for everyone.
"Lin Feng, what treasures did you obtain in the secret realm?" Tianshu Zi's eyes narrowed as he stared in the direction of Tianxuan Peak, a glint of greed in his gaze. He certainly didn't believe that Lin Feng could have set up such a terrifying formation power himself. It must have been done with some strange formation treasure.
...
At this moment, the six major powers of the Qian Domain had joined forces, leading the people of the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly. They had already entered the territory of the Heavenly Lake Empire and were marching grandly toward the Heavenly Lake.
Wherever they passed, the people of the Heavenly Lake Empire below wore ugly expressions. So many strong individuals invading the Heavenly Lake was a devastating blow. The people of the Heavenly Lake Empire had genuine love for the Heavenly Lake. Whenever someone with talent appeared in the empire, the Heavenly Lake would immediately recruit them for training, selflessly. The Heavenly Lake's purpose and faith were for the empire, and the empire naturally cherished the Heavenly Lake.
For the people of the Heavenly Lake Empire, the Heavenly Lake was also their faith.
"These bastards have been following us all along. Do they think they can help the Heavenly Lake? Courting death!" Looking at the many figures flickering below, rushing toward the Heavenly Lake, the eyes of the Annihilating Emotion Palace Master flashed with a cold light. He waved his hand, and a heaven-covering palm strike, carrying the aura of destruction and Essence, descended toward the ground.
The crowd below looked up at the void, their faces instantly turning pale, despair in their eyes.
"Boom!" A terrifying sound of destruction rang out, and a desolate area appeared below. Everyone there was obliterated by that single palm strike.
Snorting coldly, the Annihilating Emotion Palace Master acted as if he had killed a group of ants, his face calm without a ripple.
"Palace Master, why be so angry? The people of the Heavenly Lake haven't left. Soon, you'll have plenty of chances to show your skills and slaughter the Heavenly Lake, using their blood to avenge the hatred of the Divine Palace!" The Dragon Lord said indifferently, a sinister smile on his face. The people of the Heavenly Lake hadn't fled—this was courting death. This time, the Heavenly Lake would surely be annihilated!
