In a certain void space heading toward the East Sea Empire, a figure was riding through the air on the back of a ferocious demon beast, seemingly rushing in the direction of the East Sea Empire.
Setting the Carefree Sect ablaze with a single fire—by now, that Carefree Sect Leader should be going mad. How dare he act so shamelessly? Unable to conquer Heavenly Lake, he turned his hand against the people of the Heavenly Lake Empire. Since that was the case, Lin Feng naturally wouldn't be polite.
As for the East Sea Dragon Palace and the Jade Heaven Royal Clan, they were also extremely arrogant, always trying to capture Lin Feng, seize his treasures, and take his life. If the opportunity arose, Lin Feng wouldn't mind setting their sects on fire too, burning them down and then leaving.
Qiongqi had devoured the Ye Xu Flame, using it to temper himself and stepping into the Heavenly Demon Realm. Within Qiongqi's body, Void Fire had also condensed. If used directly in a blaze, its destructive power would be astonishing. That was why burning down the Carefree Sect had gone so smoothly. Moreover, the people of the Carefree Sect were extremely wary and dared not make a move against him. Void Fire was something only Venerable-level cultivators could possibly refine.
They all took Lin Feng for an extremely powerful Flame Venerable, and his few words of bluff had intimidated them, allowing the Carefree Sect to be burned to the ground.
It was likely that once news of what happened at Heavenly Lake spread, many people would guess that the one who burned the Carefree Sect was Lin Feng. Those Carefree Sect experts would probably die of shame—having their entire sect burned down by someone at the Second Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, while they, high-level Heavenly Martial cultivators and even Venerables, could only watch helplessly as it all happened.
"Xiao Feng!" A voice came from the void, causing Lin Feng's figure to halt. Then he saw a snow-white figure arrive beside him.
"Teacher, why have you come?" Lin Feng asked in surprise, not expecting Snow Venerable to appear here at this time.
"Xiao Feng, I've already heard about the Carefree Sect. Are you heading to the East Sea Dragon Palace now?" Snow Venerable's eyes held a hint of wisdom, as if seeing through everything.
"Yes," Lin Feng nodded. He had indeed been planning to go to the East Sea Dragon Palace and find an opportunity to set it ablaze.
"Come back to Heavenly Lake with me," Snow Venerable said seriously.
"Teacher!" Lin Feng's expression stiffened. Those bastards had formed the Ten Thousand Sects Alliance to bully Heavenly Lake, trying to destroy it. Was this matter supposed to be let go so easily?
Snow Venerable's gaze was firm as he shook his head at Lin Feng. "News of the Carefree Sect will spread across the Qian Domain soon. By then, everyone will know it was you. The East Sea Dragon King and the others will surely be on guard. Don't hold onto any wishful thinking. That would be too dangerous. Now, come back to Heavenly Lake with me. Heavenly Lake has something to tell you."
Lin Feng was still reluctant. Snow Venerable added, "Don't worry, Xiao Feng. With the Essence Grand Array you set up on Heavenly Lake Snow Peak, Heavenly Lake's rise is only a matter of time. Now that the Divine Palace and the Carefree Sect are nearly destroyed, and the other forces have also suffered losses, only Heavenly Lake will continue to grow stronger. One day, Heavenly Lake will dominate the Qian Domain. This account will be settled sooner or later."
"Alright," Lin Feng nodded. He knew his teacher and the others were worried about him. After all, his strength was still too weak. Burning down the Carefree Sect had relied entirely on the trump cards he held, allowing him to be so reckless. But those were external things; only true power belonged to oneself.
"Let's go." Snow Venerable smiled slightly, then turned and sped toward Heavenly Lake. Lin Feng followed closely behind, and together they returned to Heavenly Lake.
Now that Heavenly Lake had repelled its great enemies and gained a powerful killing array, with the Essence aura permeating every major peak, the people of Heavenly Lake could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Many in Heavenly Lake, even some of the seniors, truly admired Lin Feng. Although the trouble had started because of him, Lin Feng had dared to take responsibility and support Heavenly Lake with his own strength. Everything he had done for Heavenly Lake was there for all to see.
The Seven Snow Peaks were reorganized and then fell into calm once more, each busy with its own affairs. But after this incident, the status of Tian Xuan Peak was completely different. Snow Venerable, usually low-key and reserved, had revealed terrifying combat power, nearly matching Old Man Tian Ji. Yet he had never shown it before, only unleashing his full strength when Heavenly Lake was in crisis.
For this alone, Tian Xuan Peak deserved respect. There were also Sword Venerable and Flame Venerable, who, though not as strong as Snow Venerable, were still formidable in battle. Coupled with Lin Feng, the successor of the Tian Xuan lineage, it seemed that the rise of Tian Xuan Peak was inevitable.
Lin Feng had the potential to become the leader of all Heavenly Lake.
Of course, it was also possible that Lin Feng's ambitions lay elsewhere.
Given the commotion he had caused in the Qian Domain recently, even Heavenly Lake might find it hard to contain such a genius. Perhaps his stage should be even broader than Heavenly Lake.
At this moment, above Tian Xuan Peak, two figures sped through the air and landed on the main peak. They were Snow Venerable and Lin Feng, who had returned.
Among the vast white snow, many figures were gathered here, as if waiting deliberately. Seeing Lin Feng follow Snow Venerable back, they smiled and walked forward.
"You reckless fool, you actually burned down the Carefree Sect with a single fire." Flame Venerable said with a wry smile. He had also thought about burning down those sect forces for daring to act arrogantly at Heavenly Lake, but he had only thought about it without doing it. Lin Feng, however, had gone and done it.
Lin Feng grinned sheepishly and shrugged.
"He didn't just burn the Carefree Sect; he was also planning to set the East Sea Dragon Palace on fire," Snow Venerable added, leaving Flame Venerable stunned. This kid was truly crazy.
"Hehe, next time there's something like this, remember to bring me along." Great Pest walked over with a simple smile, scratching his head. Burning down the Carefree Sect with a single fire must have been exhilarating.
Lin Feng stepped forward a few paces and punched Great Pest on the chest, laughing, "You bastard, you're a Heavenly Martial cultivator now. At least show some dignity as a strong one."
"Heavenly Martial is nothing. I didn't even qualify to participate in the battle. So frustrating." Huangfu Long felt extremely stifled. Facing a battle of that level, they didn't even have the right to join.
"Why rush? The world is so vast and boundless. Once we go out and explore, won't we have plenty of chances to fight?" Yun Feiyang also showed a hint of a smile. He had to go to the Eight Wastelands Realm. A man lives only once—how could he not live it with grandeur?
"To draw your sword across the world, you must first sharpen it. Our cultivation is still too weak. Heavenly Martial might be considered strong in the Snow Domain, but on the vast stage of the Nine Heavens Continent, it seems too insignificant." Jun Moxi's eyes flickered, and a trace of hot blood stirred within him.
"I can see your minds are already elsewhere." Tang Youyou smiled lightly. None of these guys were well-behaved.
"Lin Feng, you've been running around all this time. Rest for a while first. Recharge your spirit—it will also benefit your cultivation."
A woman's heart was more delicate. While Jun Moxi and the others thought about exploring the continent, she cared about Lin Feng's body. After all, Lin Feng had been exhausted lately, never seeming to stop—from the Qian Domain to the Snow Moon Kingdom, then back to the Qian Domain, wave after wave. Unfortunately, they couldn't share the burden for Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at Tang Youyou's gentle gaze and smiled, nodding.
"Indeed, Xiao Feng needs to recharge his energy and spirit." Snow Venerable nodded slightly. Too much was as bad as too little. A person's energy and spirit were limited; the string couldn't be pulled too tight.
But at this moment, a flash of light streaked through the void and landed nearby. The crowd turned their gazes and saw the figure of Heavenly Lake's leader, Old Man Tian Ji.
Behind Old Man Tian Ji, sounds of whistling wind followed, and soon, figures landed one by one on the snow. These people were the peak masters of the various snow peaks. The peak master of Tian Shu Peak, Tian Shu Zi, also arrived, but he was at the back, his face carrying an indifferent coldness, seemingly out of place with the expressions of those around him.
After these people arrived, they first nodded to Snow Venerable, then their gazes all fell on Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled bitterly. He hadn't expected that his return would alarm the entire Heavenly Lake. This made him feel a bit unaccustomed.
