# Chapter 1015: Grand Ceremony of a Flourishing Era
The Void Ship arrived at an uninhabited area. Only then did Lin Feng land on the ground and put away the Void Ship. His Silver Wing Battle Soul had long since disappeared, and his face had also changed to a different one.
In this way, the person who had just saved Qiu Yuexin, kidnapped Yang Ziye, and seized Yang Zilan's Void Ship had temporarily vanished, and the Qiu Clan was sure to take the blame for this.
His figure flickered as Lin Feng flashed toward the courtyard where he was staying, moving extremely fast. He didn't know how Qiu Yuexin was doing now, or whether she would return to that place.
Lin Feng hadn't gone very far, so he quickly arrived at the courtyard. He spread his divine sense and, sure enough, discovered that someone was in Qiu Yuexin's room. She must have returned.
A smile appeared on his face. Lin Feng changed back to that previous face and directly pushed open Qiu Yuexin's door. At this moment, Qiu Yuexin was sitting at the head of the bed in a daze. Seeing someone directly push the door open and enter, her expression turned cold. A chilling aura burst forth from her body, instantly surging fiercely toward Lin Feng.
"Hmm?" Seeing Lin Feng's face, Qiu Yuexin was momentarily stunned. Then she said, "Thank you for helping me earlier, but this is my room. What do you mean by pushing the door open like this?"
"I have long admired Miss Qiu Yuexin and wanted to get closer," Lin Feng said with a faint smile, causing Qiu Yuexin's expression to turn icy cold as she released a freezing intent.
"Please mind your boundaries!" Qiu Yuexin said coldly, her voice carrying a chill. This man was actually teasing her with words.
Lin Feng smiled lightly and continued walking forward.
"If you take one more step forward, don't blame me for being rude to you." Qiu Yuexin's cold aura enveloped Lin Feng, but he just smiled and kept advancing.
"So you're a scumbag after all!" Qiu Yuexin suddenly stood up and struck a palm directly at Lin Feng. Lin Feng's blood surged, and a terrifying power erupted as he struck back with his own palm.
"Boom!" A violent sound rang out. A fierce gale raged, instantly destroying the surrounding tables and chairs.
"Seal for me!" Lin Feng shouted loudly. Instantly, a terrifying Sealing Power suddenly erupted, sweeping toward Qiu Yuexin.
"Sealing Power!" Qiu Yuexin's expression stiffened, and her movements paused slightly, as if she was stunned. This scene was far too familiar.
But in that brief pause, the Sealing Power descended, instantly stiffening Qiu Yuexin's body. She was sealed, unable to move at all.
Then Lin Feng's body closed in, instantly embracing Qiu Yuexin. Her eyes trembled as she stared intently at Lin Feng.
"How pitiful. I've admired Miss Qiu Yuexin for so long, yet she has already forgotten me so quickly." Lin Feng said with a bitter face. This time, his voice was his original one, without any disguise. This made Qiu Yuexin's body stiffen again as she looked at Lin Feng, somewhat dazed.
It was Lin Feng. He wasn't dead?
Lin Feng's hand brushed across his face, revealing that familiar visage. He smiled and said, "Don't you recognize me?"
Qiu Yuexin was stunned for a moment, then her eyes turned slightly red, but a chilling aura emanated from her body.
"You bastard!"
A terrifying coldness erupted, as if it would freeze Lin Feng's body solid.
"Uh..." Lin Feng was speechless. Did she have to be so ruthless? She was still ready to hit him.
"Since Miss Qiu Yuexin says I'm a bastard, I might as well act like one." Lin Feng gave a sinister smile, making Qiu Yuexin somewhat panicked. This guy's smile was ill-intentioned. What was he trying to do?
Then, she only saw Lin Feng's head slowly lowering, making her gaze freeze again. This bastard... She opened her mouth to shout, but then Lin Feng's mouth sealed hers. Her beautiful eyes stared at him without moving, as if she was stunned.
"Pfft!" A sound rang out. When Qiu Yuexin came to her senses, she found that Lin Feng had already slipped away, making her furious as she roared, "You shameless bastard!"
Saying this, she stepped forward and chased after Lin Feng. But in her slightly reddened beautiful eyes, there seemed to be some moisture, yet she wore a brilliant smile. He was alive. It was good that he was alive. But that bastard didn't tell her when he saved her, making her lose herself for so long. She definitely had to teach that guy a lesson.
...
Time flew like a shuttle. A few days were like a dream to martial cultivators. Although these days felt extremely long to those who were eagerly anticipating, everyone finally waited for this day to arrive.
Today, at the Heavenly Terrace, the Stone Emperor and the Yu Emperor were recruiting their first batch of Martial Emperor's Disciples.
On this day, beneath the Heavenly Terrace, countless powerful warriors gathered, whether Venerable or Heavenly Martial cultivators, all converging here for the sake of the Emperors.
For Heavenly Martial cultivators, becoming a Martial Emperor's Disciple was a symbol of status and position, a symbol of the future. It meant that their future would surely be boundless, earning them respect and giving them the opportunity to become powerful figures. For the younger generation of major families, becoming a Martial Emperor's Disciple could elevate their status within the family. If they could one day become a Personal Disciple of a Martial Emperor, this would become an important bargaining chip in their future struggle for family control!
As for Venerable cultivators, having stepped into the Venerable realm, how difficult it was to rise further. Countless people were stuck at every single realm, just like the Nine Heavens — one realm was one heaven, as difficult to ascend as reaching the blue sky. This was especially true for mid-rank and high-rank Venerables, who found it extremely difficult to improve. Becoming a Martial Emperor's Disciple at least gave them a chance to get close to an Emperor. If they were fortunate enough to receive guidance from an Emperor, that would be great fortune, even giving them the opportunity to understand the path after the Venerable realm and how to walk it!
Becoming part of the first batch of Martial Emperor's Disciples was of great significance. Such an opportunity might not come once in several hundred years. Who would be willing to miss it?
Therefore, on this day, everyone beneath the Heavenly Terrace witnessed what it meant to be a mountain of people and a sea of people — boundless, all filled with figures.
In these past few days, Lin Feng had lived both happily and unhappily. Happily, he could occasionally tease a beauty and take some advantage. Unhappily, the beauty would often kick open his door in the middle of the night and beat him up, making Lin Feng understand the meaning of "pain and pleasure together." Of course, after that day, they had moved to a different place to stay; otherwise, it would have been impossible to peacefully get through these few days.
Lin Feng didn't want to stir up more trouble before the Stone Emperor and Yu Emperor officially began recruiting Martial Emperor's Disciples, so he hadn't gone out, waiting until today's arrival.
Walking side by side with Qiu Yuexin beneath the Heavenly Terrace, looking at the sea of people in this area, Lin Feng was speechless.
"So many people. How will they recruit Martial Emperor's Disciples?" Lin Feng said with a bitter smile. The number of people who had arrived was simply terrifying. It was impossible to even count them all. Even eliminating them wouldn't be easy. There were surely many geniuses among them. Although the Nine Heavens formed by the final eighty-one layers of the Heavenly Stairway were terrifying, for some geniuses, crossing two heavens should be possible.
Moreover, with such a terrifying number of people, if they all ascended the eighteen-thousand-zhang Heavenly Stairway together, it would surely be an extremely spectacular sight!
"So magnificent. Millions of people ascending the Heavenly Stairway together. That kind of grand and heroic scene must be breathtaking!" Qiu Yuexin murmured softly, showing Lin Feng a smile.
"Yes, that kind of heroic scene will surely shake people's hearts!" Lin Feng nodded, as if he could imagine it.
At this moment, the crowd here all had solemn expressions, carrying a pilgrim's mentality and a strong will. Becoming a Martial Emperor's Disciple would be a stepping stone on their path to becoming powerful figures. Once they stepped onto this step, the road ahead would surely be much smoother.
Not to mention receiving guidance from an Emperor, the first batch of Martial Emperor's Disciples recruited would surely all be geniuses — some Heavenly Martial cultivators, some powerful Venerables. People like Mu Chen and Hou Qinglin, the Azure Forest Reincarnation Sword, were all outstanding figures. Becoming a disciple, even just being with them often, could spur one to keep advancing. If they had good relationships, they could even guide each other.
"Emperors — the rulers of the Eight Wastelands Realm, standing at the pinnacle of the Eight Wastelands. Only they possess such terrifying appeal." Qiu Yuexin sighed with emotion. Although she was from the Qiu Clan, she understood very well that the gap between a clan and an Emperor, though seemingly one step away, was actually incomparable. Crossing that step meant ascending to heaven. An Emperor's anger could easily destroy a clan. Who wouldn't want to become an Emperor?
"One day, if I become an Emperor, with a single command, I can destroy the Yang Clan. Who would dare to bully me!" Lin Feng's gaze was sharp as he stared at the top of the Heavenly Terrace. One day, he would follow the Heavenly Stairway leading to Emperors and become an Emperor who looked down upon the world!
"If you become an Emperor, what will I be?" Qiu Yuexin asked with a smile.
"If I become an Emperor, you will be the Empress Consort!" Lin Feng replied with a light smile. Qiu Yuexin didn't understand. Empress Consort — what did that mean?
