《I Create An Unparalleled Divine Dynasty》 Chapter 1 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio In the Great Spring Dynasty of the East Barren Region, Longyan County was a place with towering terrains and mountain ranges. If anyone asked where the highest mountain peak was, everybody would all point to the same place at the same time. A mountain that stood tall like a sword on the plateau pierced through the clouds. On the mountain, there was a sect called the Green Sky Sect. It was once one of the most famous sects in the immortal cultivation world. It monopolized the resources of the county, which was why this mountain was named the Green Sky Mountain. On the peak of the Green Sky Mountain, there was an exquisite bamboo house with simple furnishings inside. It was obvious that the owner of the house was not a person who enjoyed pleasure, or it could have been that the owner was poor. In the bedroom on the second floor, there was an ordinary bamboo bed placed against the wall. The ordinary-looking young man on the bed seemed to have just woken up. Even though he looked like he had just woken up, the man who opened his eyes looked completely different from before. His extremely pair of deep black eyes were flowing with an unfathomable light, yet there was also a hint of mystery in them that charmed people. Only those who knew him would know that this young man¡¯s appearance was only because he had just woken up and his mind was still not completely awake. Lin Feng opened his eyes. His mind was still a little muddled, and he could not wrap his head around it. He looked at his surroundings. Below him was a bamboo bed. Right across from the bed was a low bamboo couch. On top of it was a low table. On the table was a porcelain tea set with a white base and blue flowers. In the corner was a small bamboo wardrobe. In this room full of bamboo, Lin Feng subconsciously thought that he had become a national treasure, captured but provided with food and shelter. In the next moment though. A huge memory rushed into his mind. ¡°D**n¡­¡± The dull pain in his head was like being hit by a sledgehammer, and Lin Feng could not help but curse in a low voice. After ten minutes, the pain in his head gradually subsided, and Lin Feng finally understood his current situation. ¡°Strange things happen every year. This year, it¡¯s my turn¡­¡± ¡°And what is this Green Sky Sect? How am I the Sect Master? Does the Sect Master live in such a shabby place?¡± ¡°Origin Building Realm? With such a weak Sect Master, is there really any hope for this sect¡­¡± ¡°The cultivation world is not a joke¡­ this is a world where people can die at any time.¡± Lin Feng sat on the bed and muttered to himself, trying to figure out the current situation. The dull pain just now was the Sect Master of the former Green Sky Sect. His memories were merging with his own, and after unlocking more than twenty years worth of memories of the previous Sect Master, he had now completely become the Sect Master of the Green Sky Sect. Lin Feng. With the memories of his previous Sect Master, Lin Feng had a deeper understanding of this mysterious fantasy world. The Great Spring Empire in the East Barren Region, a Sect Master of a small and insignificant sect placing last in the ranks. This identity would not bring much convenience or help to Lin Feng. In fact, this identity would instead bring him endless trouble. The East Barren Region is located in the easternmost part of the world. Compared to the other major regions, it was deprived. The three major dynasties occupied this place, while the Great Spring Empire occupied the central part of the East Barren Region, the land with the most rain, so it was relatively rich. This was a world where cultivation was the main trend, and strength was the most important factor. No matter which major region one was in, there would always be a large number of sects, and cultivation was prevalent. Everyone in the world wanted to become an immortal. The Great Spring Dynasty divided all the sects in its territory into nine ranks. The First Rank was the highest, and the Ninth Rank was the lowest. The Green Sky Sect was the last of the Ninth Rank. In other words, it was the last of the last. The position of the last among the Ninth Rank sects had been kept for many years. There had been no changes to the ranking, and now it was on the verge of being expelled from the Daoist world. Every year, the Imperial Court would send Daoist officials to inspect the region to assess whether the strength of each Sect Master was on par with their own sect¡¯s rank. The next assessment of the Green Sky Sect would be in three months. The assessment criteria were very simple, which was to see whether the Sect Master¡¯s strength was qualified. And Lin Feng¡¯s strength in the Origin Building Realm was still far from the minimum evaluation criteria.. The cultivation levels of cultivators had been perfected by countless seniors over the years, and a complete system had been established. It was divided into five major realms: the Qi Gathering Realm, the Condensing Reality Realm, the Origin Building Realm, the Black Core Realm, and the Origin Soul Realm. Each realm was then divided into four stages: the Beginning Stage, the Intermediate Stage, the Advanced Stage, and the Completion Stage. Qi Gathering was to first gather the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth into the four limbs and bones in the body, and finally gather it into the Dantian. Condensing Reality was to gather the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth into one¡¯s own origin, and at this stage, one could start to unleash the strength of a cultivator. Origin Building was to use the origin in the Dantian to build the foundation. The more stable the foundation was, the smoother the path of cultivation would be. And at the Dark Core Stage, the cultivator would have to produce a dark core using the origin foundation. Finally, at the time when the Dark Core would break, it would become an Origin Soul, and that was the Origin Soul Realm. Lin Feng¡¯s strength was only at the Beginning Stage of the Origin Building Realm. Even if he broke through to the Intermediate Stage three months later, he was still a distance away from the peak of the Origin Building Realm, which was the lowest standard for the Sect Master of a Ninth Rank sect in the Great Spring Empire. Moreover, it was said that the Sect Masters of those top sects at the very least were at the Advanced Stage of the Dark Core Realm already. ¡°With such weak strength, it¡¯s no wonder the Imperial Court decided to remove the Green Sky Sect from the Daoist World¡­¡± Although Lin Feng looked down on his weak strength, he could understand why his predecessor¡¯s strength was still weak even though he had worked so hard to cultivate. Not to mention how many resources a person would need to cultivate to the Origin Building Realm. The time needed for cultivation alone was not short. Unless one was a rare cultivation genius, even without the help of external objects, one could still cultivate successfully in a short period of time. On the other hand, the time needed for an ordinary person to cultivate to the Origin Building Realm would be several times longer.. The Sect Masters of the other sects in the Great Spring Empire were not young when they took over the position of sect master, so their cultivation strength was naturally much stronger after cultivating for so many years. Lin Feng obtained the position of Sect Master was purely like a duck being pushed to the rack. Although his talent was mediocre, his strength was already the strongest in the Green Sky Sect when the previous Sect Master passed away. It was one thing if he did not have the cultivation resources, but he was also the Sect Master, so he had the responsibility of running the sect on his shoulders. He even had to handle all of the small and big matters personally, because the sect was too poor, and he only had a few disciples. So even though he was a Sect Master, he did not even have an assistant to serve tea, or to help him handle daily affairs, let alone time for cultivation.. He thought about how he, the leader of a sect, did not have any cultivation resources or time for cultivation, and that he would be assessed by the Imperial Court three months later. Yet there was no point in thinking about these problems. It was not something that could not be solved by a person who came from another world in a short period of time. ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m bound to have my ¡°license¡± revoked in three months. How about disbanding the Green Sky Sect and running away?¡± Lin Feng rubbed his chin. He had no idea how to solve his current situation, so he could not help but want to get rid of the burden called the Green Sky Sect. At this moment. Ding¡­ a sound rang in Lin Feng¡¯s mind. [ I have detected that the host has finished merging. The Wonder Creation System has been successfully activated! ] A mechanical voice that sounded like an angel¡¯s voice rang out. Lin Feng felt that he did not have to run anymore.. Chapter 2 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The mechanical voice sounded like an angel¡¯s voice to Lin Feng. His current situation still gave him a headache, and just at this moment the benefits of a transmigrator had arrived. From the moment Lin Feng woke up until now, in this short time his emotions seemed like it had gone through a rollercoaster ride. The activation of the system gave him hope. He knew very well that he had just arrived. Although his identity as the Sect Master of the Green Sky Sect was a trouble, without this identity, it would be even more difficult for him to integrate into this world. Looking at the three big words ¡°Creating a Wonder¡± that emitted a fluorescent white light in his consciousness, Lin Feng wondered what kind of a system this was? There was nothing more to the system except for the ding sound just now. The ¡°Creating a Wonder¡± words were still imprinted in his mind. He put some thought into it, then Lin Feng tried to use his consciousness to touch the big words that emitted light in his mind. The moment he touched them, the words gradually melted away and slowly turned into an electronic panel. When he saw this panel, he felt a sense of familiarity. ¡°Description: As long as you can create a wonder in reality and make people believe that your deeds are real, all the effects will come true in reality.¡± Lin Feng read the description in a low voice, still a little confused. However, in just a short while, he found that as long as the wonder was built in the sect, the disciples would be able to increase their strength from the wonder! But where would the huge amount of resources needed to build the wonders come from? Lin Feng thought for a long time, but he still had no idea. Even though he knew that the system could help the Green Sky Sect out of their predicament, the important building materials were still a problem. He did not bother to think about these problems that he could not get an answer to yet. He continued to study the system, and controlled his consciousness to click on the interface, and then the scene changed. ¡°Sword Formation, Sword Pool, Sword Tomb, Sword Stele, Meditation, Body Tempering, and Fate¡­¡± ¡°D**n, there are too many wonders here. They are so comprehensive. If all of these wonders are built, the Green Sky Sect will become the number one sect on the continent soon¡­¡± Lin Feng was shocked that he could not find the end of the drawing. There were many sub-items under each major item, and the word ¡®exchange¡¯ was at the end of the names of these specific wonders. He understood that as long as he clicked on these two words, he would be able to exchange the construction blueprints of this wonder into reality. As he looked at the contents of the electronic panel and pondered about the functions of these wonders, he unconsciously clicked on the name of the first wonder under the Sword Stele. Before Lin Feng had the time to finish reading the description of the blueprint, there was an urgent knock in the corridor on the second floor, which was also the door to his room in the bamboo building. Before he could react, the door had been pushed open. ¡°Senior Brother, the East Sun Sect has gone too far!¡± Lin Feng was still sitting on the bamboo bed, staring blankly at the woman standing at the door. The woman¡¯s delicate little face was covered in frost, which made her slightly innocent face look more dignified. ¡°Senior Brother, I don¡¯t have time to let you sleep. Get up quickly!¡± ¡°The East Sun Sect is riding on our heads this time!¡± The woman could not help but urge her Senior Brother, who was still sitting on the bed and staring at her in a daze. Lin Feng had inherited all the memories of his predecessor, so he naturally knew that this woman was his Junior Sister, Zhang Wanqing. She was the last disciple of the previous Sect Master, and now she was the only Sword Cultivator in the Green Sky Sect. She had a Natal Flying Sword, and her sword was extremely sharp. In front of the other disciples, she had always been cold and unapproachable, but in front of Lin Feng, her attitude was completely different. When the position of Sect Master was passed to Lin Feng, Zhang Wanqing had been both the accountant and the one to oversee the rules at Green Sky Sect. She managed the sect and her own cultivation at the same time without any problems; and her strength was second to him in the sect, but in terms of lethality.., she was much stronger than him. ¡°Junior Sister, what¡¯s going on with the East Sun Sect? Tell me about it first.¡± Lin Feng got up from the bed and asked about the whole story. The East Sun Sect was the Ninth Rank sect closest to the Green Sky Sect. Although they were both Ninth Rank sects, the other party was at the higher end of the Ninth Ranks. The Sect Master of the other party was also stronger than Lin Feng, and they had a few more experts compared to the Green Sky Sect. Because the two sects were the closest to each other, the competition between them had long changed from the initial competition to the current feud. Whether it was competing for disciples, cultivation resources, or money, the East Sun Sect would compete with the Green Sky Sect for anything that could be given to them. Lin Feng saw in his memory what the East Sun Sect had done to the Green Sky Sect all these years. Even though he had just arrived, he did not have a good impression of his neighbor at all. ¡°The disciples of the East Sun Sect have injured our disciples. Senior Brother, don¡¯t dawdle. Come with me to the Main Hall first. We¡¯re all waiting for you!¡± Zhang Wanqing saw that Lin Feng was still dawdling. She could not wait any longer, so she pulled Lin Feng up and left. ¡°Hey, hey¡­ Junior Sister, slow down. My shoes¡­¡± Zhang Wanqing pulled Lin Feng along the way. When they were about to reach the Main Hall of the sect, Lin Feng was finally let go. He tidied up his appearance a little, walked in front, and brought his Junior Sister into the Main Hall. ¡°Greetings, Sect Master!¡± ¡°Sect Master¡­¡± In the Main Hall, all the disciples of the Green Sky Sect, except those who had gone out, had arrived. They were all waiting for Zhang Wanqing to invite Lin Feng, the Sect Master. As soon as he entered the Main Hall, Lin Feng was shocked by the greetings of the disciples. Although he knew what kind of sect the Green Sky Sect was through the memories of his predecessor, everyone still respected him from the bottom of their hearts. They did not look down on him just because he was not strong enough; he was very surprised. He looked at the dozens of people standing below, looking at him with trust. Even the strongest disciple was only on the same level as him. Lin Feng instantly felt his responsibility as the Sect Master. ¡°Who can tell me the whole story first?¡± When Zhang Wanqing came to find him, she did not say it clearly. Lin Feng only knew that his disciple was beaten by the East Sun Sect, but he did not know anything else. ¡°Sect Leader, let me speak. I was at the scene when it happened.¡± A disciple standing at the end of the line stepped forward. One could still see the wounds on his face. Lin Feng looked at the Daoist robe that the disciple was wearing and knew that he was just an ordinary outer sect disciple. He was not very strong. ¡°It was like this. We were at the Spirit Stone Mine on the North Mountain checking this month¡¯s production, and were preparing to bring the spirit stones back when the East Sun Sect came¡­¡± ¡°When those guys came, they threatened us and tried to force the disciples to open the Great Formation and seize the mine. How could we agree to this?¡± The outer sect disciple could not help but get agitated when he said this. Lin Feng did not interrupt him and waited for him to finish his story. ¡°Later, when we couldn¡¯t come to an agreement, we fought with the people from the East Sun Sect. Both sides were injured. In the end, seeing that we were really unwilling to open the formation, the people from the East Sun Sect couldn¡¯t do anything to us, so they left.¡± ¡°However, they have gone too far, the Spiritual Stone Mine in the North Mountain had always belonged to the Green Sky Sect. For them to be doing this daylight robbery, they are simply thieves!¡± Lin Feng was a little surprised after hearing that disciple¡¯s words. After all, the Green Sky Sect was currently weak, but they controlled a Spiritual Stone Mine. It was very difficult not to be targeted.. ¡°Sect Master, let us make our way to the East Sun Sect and show them how powerful we are. Otherwise, how can we possibly get over this!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Sect Master. Please allow us to seek justice for the injured disciples.¡± ¡­ He looked at the dozens of people below who were united against the same enemy. This made Lin Feng even more determined to create a wonder in the Green Sky Sect.. Chapter 3 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The disciples were righteously arguing about how to deal with this matter. While Lin Feng was still deep in thought, Zhang Wanqing asked. ¡°Senior Brother, how should we deal with this matter?¡± He saw his Junior Sister with a cold expression, and he knew that she was very angry! ¡°Take the injured disciples down first to recuperate. The sect will provide the medicinal herbs needed for the treatment. Rest assured, everyone. I will give you all an explanation.¡± As Lin Feng said this to the disciples, Zhang Wanqing, who was beside him, frowned. She had a feeling that something was wrong with her Senior Brother¡¯s words. Could it be that her Senior Brother was thinking of apologizing to the East Sun Sect to appease the issue? The injured disciples, who were being supported by others, were about to leave the Grand Hall. Lin Feng had already opened the system in his mind and searched through many blueprints for a wonder that could solve the current problem and be built by the current Green Sky Sect. In the eyes of others, it seemed like the Sect Master had dozed off again, but Lin Feng had already found a suitable blueprint for the wonder in the system, the ¡°Jade Heavenly Long Sword!¡± After searching for a long time, Lin Feng only found this blueprint, which was a wonder that could be built right now. The other wonders needed more high quality construction materials to build. They either needed the Blood Tassel Stone Marrow or the Purple Essence Jade.. All of them were the best materials on the continent. Even if these materials were in a First Rank Sect, they would still be the best of the best. The Green Sky Sect was so poor. How could they have such high quality materials? After Lin Feng picked and picked, he finally chose the Jade Heavenly Long Sword. Among the materials needed to build it, only two were relatively rare. The rest of the materials, however, were much easier to find. Moreover, only ten materials were needed, then he would be able to build this wonder! In addition, if he wanted to solve the current crisis of the Green Sky Sect, he needed strength the most. The Jade Heavenly Long Sword was just right to solve this problem! ¡°Those who are injured should go back and recuperate. The rest of the disciples, find the materials I¡¯m going to talk about as soon as possible.¡± After Lin Feng had decided on the blueprint for the construction, he logged out of the system and gave the order to the disciples. ¡°Red Flame Stone, Red Fire Pearl, Three Star Stone, Heavenly River Cinnabar, Heavy Wood, Fire Copper, Mud of Destiny, and the Yin and Yang Profound Stone, bring these eight materials back as soon as possible.¡± Of the eight materials, only the Mud of Destiny and the Yin and Yang Profound Stone were harder to find. It was not difficult to find the other materials, but there were two other materials that were extremely difficult to find. Lin Feng did not say those two out loud. He planned to try his luck in the Treasury of the Sect. As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, the disciples in the Main Hall were all surprised. His Junior Sister, who was standing next to him, had an even colder expression on her face. What her Senior Brother had said just now had made her suspicious. She did not expect that after a moment of daze, he would actually ask them to collect the materials. This further confirmed her premonition just now. Zhang Wanqing looked at Lin Feng coldly and did not say anything. She secretly guessed that her Senior Brother wanted to take these materials and go to the East Sun Sect to apologize and settle the matter peacefully! ¡°I don¡¯t agree with what you¡¯re doing!¡± Lin Feng was surprised that his Junior Sister rejected him decisively. He had not even explained anything yet. ¡°Could it be that the Green Sky Sect is so poor that they can¡¯t even bring out eight kinds of high quality materials? !¡± After being rejected, Lin Feng guessed in his heart and frowned. He did not expect that the huge sect would be so poor.. Before Lin Feng could explain, Zhang Wanqing spoke up again. ¡°If the East Sun Sect dares to bully us, just give it a try. My sword won¡¯t let them off so easily!¡± The Junior Sister expressed her determination to protect the dignity of the Green Sky Sect with a cold voice. Lin Feng could even feel the Natal Flying Sword in his Junior Sister¡¯s body was about to make a move. When the other disciples heard the Junior Sister¡¯s words, they all shared the same hatred for the enemy and spoke out their determination at the same time. ¡°Sect Master, please punish us. Please forgive us for not yielding to the East Sun Sect!¡± ¡°Sect Master, Please think twice. The East Sun Sect has gone too far in this matter. Why do we have to apologize?¡± .. Even the injured disciples whom Lin Feng had ordered to be taken away to recuperate, stopped in their tracks and rushed to speak. ¡°Sect Master, you can just expel me from the Sect. Even if the East Sun Sect were to blame the Green Sky Sect, it would be my own fault. The sect won¡¯t be to blame¡­¡± ¡°Expel me. I was the one who injured the East Sun Sect. It¡¯s none of your business.¡± ¡°In my opinion, no one should leave. We at Green Sky Sect have integrity. If the East Sun Sect dares to come, we¡¯ll risk our lives to make sure they regret coming in the first place!¡± .. Zhang Wanqing watched the disciples argue non-stop. Dozens of people were arguing, but none of them was a coward who wanted to betray their brothers. The coldness on her face gradually melted away. Lin Feng also saw the debate in the hall. He finally had a deep understanding of the unity of the Green Sky Sect. The sect was weak, surrounded by a pack of wolves, and there was a risk of being kicked out of the Dao World by the Imperial Court at any time. Although there were not many disciples, they were united. Lin Feng felt gratified, but he also felt helpless. No one believed that he could resolve this matter. They all thought that Lin Feng was going to the East Sun Sect to apologize and beg for mercy. ¡°Everyone, quiet down and listen to me!¡± Lin Feng had no choice but to stop the disciples who were still arguing. Hearing the Sect Master¡¯s voice, everyone stopped arguing. Their gazes fell on Lin Feng and they waited quietly for him to speak. Lin Feng first looked at the cold-faced Junior Sister next to him and sighed. Then, he turned to the others and began to speak. ¡°I found a blueprint in a secret compartment in the Ancestral Master Hall. According to the blueprint, creating the wonder on it can increase the luck of the sect.¡± Zhang Wanqing¡¯s face was still cold. It seemed that she did not believe his words. It was just that she did not know what her Senior Brother was up to, so she did not directly question him. Lin Feng looked at the puzzled expressions of the disciples below. No one said anything before he continued. ¡°The materials I asked you to collect just now are the things needed to build this wonder.¡± ¡°Also, even if the people from the East Sun Sect came, I would never give the materials away. I said that I would give an explanation to everyone, so I will not go back on my word.¡± Lin Feng looked at the disciples and his Junior Sister and made a solemn promise. Zhang Wanqing looked at her Senior Brother¡¯s expression and knew that he did not intend to bow down to the East Sun Sect. She felt much more at ease. However, she was still skeptical about the blueprint that Lin Feng mentioned. She still did not know how her Senior Brother wanted to solve the problem of the East Sun Sect. ¡°Sect Master, I¡¯m sorry. I overstepped my bounds and misunderstood your meaning.¡± ¡°Sect Master, Please punish me¡­¡± The disciples knew that they had misunderstood Lin Feng, so they all apologized and requested to be punished. Lin Feng heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that everyone believed in him. ¡°Let¡¯s call it a day. Those who need to recuperate should go back and recuperate. The rest of you who are fine, go and look for the materials that I mentioned just now. The sooner the better.¡± Lin Feng did not mind what had just happened. He told everyone to go look for the materials first. When all of the disciples in the Main Hall were gone, only Lin Feng and Zhang Wanqing were left. ¡°Junior Sister, bring me to the Treasury.¡± Zhang Wanqing saw her Senior Brother¡¯s serious expression and did not think much about it. She nodded her head and agreed.. Chapter 4 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After leaving the Main Hall, Lin Feng and Zhang Wanqing walked toward the Treasury of the Green Sky Sect together. The Treasury was located in the innermost part of the sect. Although the Green Sky Sect was now desolate, it used to be a top sect in Longyan County that monopolized a county¡¯s resources! The Treasury of the Green Sky Sect was hidden in a mountain stream between the Scripture Pavilion and the Punishment Hall. Only the people in charge of the sect¡¯s financial affairs knew how to open the External Formation. Even the Sect Master did not know how to open the formation outside the Treasury. However, there was a Private Treasury inside the Treasury, and only the Sect Master could enter that place. After the two of them entered the Treasury, the formation closed automatically. There were no more ripples in the mountain stream, as if no one had ever come. ¡°Senior Brother, go in. Just tell me what you want to find. I have organized the entire Treasury bit by bit over the years, so it¡¯s easier for me to find what you¡¯re looking for.¡± After saying that, Zhang Wanqing moved her body to the side. It was Lin Feng¡¯s first time seeing the entire Treasury. His predecessor had never been to the Treasury before either. Because the Green Sky Sect was so poor, everyone thought that there was nothing good left in the Treasury. The Treasury hidden in the mountain stream was a natural karst cave. It had been repaired by the Seniors of the Green Sky Sect, and all kinds of forbidding formations had been set up, making it look clean and tidy. Standing at the entrance of the cave, one could not see the depths of the cave, but only what was within view. The materials on the shelves, the medicinal herbs, and the weapons leaning against the rock wall were all dazzling to the eye. The things here were much more abundant than what Lin Feng had imagined. Standing aside, Zhang Wanqing felt a bit guilty when she saw her Senior Brother¡¯s surprised expression. After all, the External Formation of the sect¡¯s Treasury was in her hands, and even Lin Feng, the Sect Master, was only here for the first time. ¡°Senior Brother, you¡¯ve been in charge of the sect for many years, but this is your first time coming to the Treasury. You should do an inventory, so you know what is available the next time you need something.¡± Zhang Wanqing looked at her Senior Brother, who was still in a daze, and felt a little apologetic. Seeing that Lin Feng had not said anything for a long time, she explained herself. ¡°The treasures in the Treasury were all accumulated by the Green Sky Sect¡¯s Ancestral Masters bit by bit for eight generations. It¡¯s just that in the recent three generations, the sect was poor and weak. Not only did we not accumulate any treasures, we basically took everything out¡­¡± Lin Feng looked at his Junior Sister in front of him, who had a sad expression on her face. She looked like a miser no matter how he looked at her. He could not help but laugh out loud. The karst cave where the Treasury was located was very spacious at the front. There was still a long way to go to get to the deep part of the cave, and the inside of the cave was relatively narrow. Just by looking at it, the Green Sky Sect had quite a lot of assets. There were several piles of refining materials on the ground at the entrance of the karst cave. Primordial Adamantine, Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron, Dark Light Mysterious Iron, Gold from Yu, Golden Thunder Bamboo, Nephrite¡­ they were all common high-quality refining materials, piled up like a small mountain. Lin Feng sighed silently in his heart, ¡°No wonder the Green Sky Sect was targeted by the East Sun Sect. The former number one sect in Longyan County is indeed a lean camel that is bigger than a horse.¡± Lin Feng, who had not spoken a word since entering the Treasury, was taken as frightened by the poverty of the sect by his Junior Sister. The guilt on her face grew. After all, she had been in charge of the Treasury for many years. Other than taking things out, she had never put anything into it. Even her Natal Flying Sword was taken out of the Treasury. ¡°Junior Sister, do you still remember the eight materials I mentioned in the Main Hall just now?¡± Lin Feng asked. Compared to taking inventory of the resources in the Treasury, he wanted to build a wonder as soon as possible to see if his gold fingers had any effect. ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°I remember, I remember. Red Flame Stone, Red Fire Pearl, Three Star Stone, Heavenly River Cinnabar, Heavy Wood, Fire Copper, Mud of Destiny, and the Yin and Yang Profound Stone. These eight.¡± Zhang Wanqing was still feeling guilty, so she did not respond immediately when she was suddenly called. ¡°All these materials are in the Treasury, right? Help me find them.¡± ¡°Senior Brother, how does the Mud of Destiny and Yin and Yang Profound Stone look like?¡± Even though the Junior Sister was still in a daze, she still had a cold expression on her face. Lin Feng was used to it and did not think that she was unhappy. ¡°The Mud of Destiny looks no different from ordinary mud. The special thing about it is that it can visualize the spiritual energy around it. As long as it meets spiritual energy, it will have some illusions around it.¡± ¡°The Yin and Yang Profound Stone can be seen from its appearance and is very easy to recognize. The black and white colors are clearly distinguished on the stone. It¡¯s shaped like two small black and white fish sitting together.¡± Lin Feng thought for a moment and described the two rare materials. ¡°These two materials should be further inside. The other materials are outside. Senior Brother, take your time to look. I¡¯ll go look for them inside.¡± Zhang Wanqing thought for a while and finally remembered the general location of these two special materials. If she had not heard the description from her Senior Brother, she would not even know that these two materials were actually called this. Lin Feng nodded and watched his Junior Sister enter the depths of the karst cave. He recalled the Mud of Destiny and the Yin and Yang Profound Stone. Even on the market, these two materials were relatively expensive. If converted to spirit stones, they could be worth at least a hundred low-grade spirit stones, or even higher. Lin Feng, who was left outside, wandered around the Treasury, casually looking for the other two materials that were the most difficult to find. In the end, in an inconspicuous corner of the cave, he finally found the last two materials that were randomly thrown on the ground. Not long after, the Junior Sister found all the other materials and handed him a storage ring filled with the materials. To be able to gather all the materials in the Treasury was a pleasant surprise to Lin Feng. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go and create the wonder first. Junior Sister, you can go ahead and continue to do your duties. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± After saying that, Lin Feng left the Treasury. Before Zhang Wanqing could ask him what he was going to do next, her Senior Brother had already left the Treasury. She looked at Lin Feng¡¯s back thoughtfully. After taking over the position of Sect Master, her Senior Brother¡¯s cultivation speed had plummeted, and his progress was slow. However, he managed the sect in an orderly manner, and had never let the sect¡¯s affairs affect the cultivation of any disciple. Otherwise, based on his Senior Brother¡¯s cultivation speed back then, it was impossible for his strength to barely rise to the Beginning Stage of the Origin Building Realm after so many years. But even so, Zhang Wanqing was confident that her understanding of Lin Feng was deeper than anyone else in the sect. They had been fellow disciples for many years, and Senior Brother Lin Feng had the talent to refine materials, so how could she have never known about it? Thinking of this, Zhang Wanqing could not help but feel a little sad in her heart.. What her Senior Brother was doing now was to bring peace to the people in the sect. That was why he pulled a fa?ade, saying it was a blueprint from the Ancestral Hall. If she were more powerful, he would not have to do this, right? In the Treasury, Zhang Wanqing was still thinking about Lin Feng¡¯s strange behavior. Meanwhile, Lin Feng wandered around the Green Sky Sect and finally found a suitable place to build the first wonder. In the open space in front of the Ancestral Hall at the back of the mountain. Lin Feng held the blueprints of the Jade Heavenly Long Sword in his hand. After searching around, he found that the open space in front of the Ancestral Hall was the most suitable place. Judging from the classification of the Jade Heavenly Long Sword in the system, it was obvious that its shape was not an ordinary long sword. It was not a sword under the category of the Sword Stele, but a tall Sword Stele! Chapter 5 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio There was no need to pay a price for the exchange of blueprints in the system. With a light tap of the word ¡®exchange¡¯ next to the name of the wonder, the blueprints would appear directly in Lin Feng¡¯s hands. Lin Feng was still very cautious during the first exchange. He deliberately found a corner that no one paid attention to, and only after he obtained the blueprints did he search for a place to build it. The use of the empty space in front of the Ancestral Hall was no longer known. The green stones on the ground were covered with the traces of time, and the dark corners were covered in moss. While Lin Feng stood still in front of the Ancestral Master Hall, he felt a sense of telepathy. It was as if the Ancestral Masters behind the door knew what he was going to do next, and they supported him spiritually. Lin Feng did not meet any disciples after standing in the open space for a long time. The current Green Sky Sect was large and sparsely populated. Even though it had lost its former glory, and most of its outer territory had been taken away by the East Sun Sect next door. However, the interior territory of the sect was still intact, and the area within a hundred miles was still under the influence of the Green Sky Sect. Although it was not as large as a Top Tier Sect that had a thousand or ten thousand miles of territory under their influence, it was not much different from a Middle Tier Sect. The East Sun Sect next door had the strength of a Middle Tier Ninth Rank sect, but its territory was much smaller than the Green Sky Sect, which was a Low Tier Ninth Rank sect. Naturally, they were unwilling to accept this. Currently, there were only a hundred disciples in the Green Sky Sect¡¯s inner and outer sect combined, and more than 80% of them were outer sect disciples, so their strength was insignificant. Since 90% of such a large territory was left unattended, it was already deserted. Only the central area was carefully protected as much as possible, so the core of the Green Sky Sect was still there. Lin Feng carefully studied the blueprint in his hand. This was also the first time he had a detailed understanding of the Sword Stele. After all, few people in the modern era would study this thing. With the strength of his predecessor at the Beginning Stage of the Origin Building Realm, the power in his body allowed him to barely finish refining the first stage of the Jade Heavenly Long Sword. After Lin Feng finished thinking, he memorized the forging method and began to refine it. As Lin Feng began to move, the spiritual energy in the open space in front of the Ancestral Master Hall churned, and the scattered spiritual energy seemed to be covered by a layer of fog. The foundation of the Sword Stele gradually took shape. Following the steps described in the blueprint, the materials were cast step by step and the spiritual energy was used to cast all of them together. The main materials for the base of the Stele were the Black Yang Stone and the Blue Sea Stone Heart. Together with the other eight high-quality refining materials, just the initial fusion was enough to cause the spiritual energy in the empty space to boil endlessly. Halfway through the forging of the Jade Heavenly Long Sword, a strange phenomenon occurred. An auspicious sign appeared in front of the Ancestral Hall. The Earth surged with golden lotuses, and golden light shone brilliantly. Even Lin Feng, who was the source of all the strange phenomena, was shocked by the sudden phenomenon. He looked forward to what kind of world-shaking scene it would be if it was completely forged. After recovering from his shock, Lin Feng gathered his thoughts and continued to forge the Sword Stele. The longer the forging took, the more condensed the spiritual energy in the open space became. The fog-like spiritual energy in the beginning gradually turned into a cloud-like shape. Lin Feng did not know how much time had passed. He only knew that the spiritual energy in his body had gradually lost its strength, and the Sword Stele was finally completed! At the same time, outside the cloud-like ball of spiritual energy, a burst of purple energy came from the east. The target was clear, and it was above the open space in front of the Ancestral Hall of the Green Sky Sect. Lin Feng, who was in the center of it, instantly felt comfortable all over. The mental exhaustion from forging, as well as the discomfort caused by the lack of spiritual energy in his body, all disappeared in an instant. As the final stage of the forging of the wonder was completed, Lin Feng stopped the output of his spiritual energy. On the empty ground, regardless of whether it was the spiritual energy condensed in the air or the purple energy from the east, they instantly swarmed towards the formed Jade Heavenly Long Sword. All the strange phenomena instantly disappeared and were gathered within the Sword Stele. Lin Feng looked at the scene in front of him with his mouth agape. According to the requirements of the blueprint, not a single step was wrong. The completed wonder was right in front of him. However, what was the connection between this simple and unadorned Sword Stele and the strange phenomenon produced during the forging process just now? The Jade Heavenly Long Sword Stele was entirely black and gold in color. However, there was not a single trace of brilliance on it. It was no different from an ordinary mountain rock. Lin Feng was stunned when he saw the scene before him. He was a little confused about the current situation. How should he make the effect of the wonder take effect next? The blueprint clearly stated that the first stage of forging only needed to follow the steps and cast the Sword Stele into shape before it could be used. The successfully forged Sword Stele would immediately give the sect¡¯s disciples the luck of the way with the sword. Now that he had completed forging the wonder, nothing happened. Lin Feng could not help but suspect that he had made some mistakes during the forging process that caused the current Sword Stele to lose its effectiveness. ¡°Oh right, the system!¡± After pondering for a long time, and not having any leads, Lin Feng remembered that he still had the system. Sinking his consciousness into his mind, he clicked open a few large words that were still floating. Once again, he carefully looked at the description. At the end of the description on the front page, there was a line marked with a very small font. ¡°After the wonder is completed, the power of the wonder needs to be injected to make the wonder take effect.¡± Seeing this, Lin Feng finally understood why the successfully forged Sword Stele did not have any reaction. It turned out that the most important power of the wonder had yet to be injected into it. Later, Lin Feng found the method in the system to inject the power of the wonder into the completed wonder, and his consciousness returned to reality. He began to try to mobilize the power of the wonder in his body and inject it into the Jade Heavenly Long Sword. As the power of the wonder was injected into the Sword Stele, the entire Sword Stele emitted a fluorescent white light. On the black and gold-colored Stele, faint golden patterns that seemed to contain Dao rhythm appeared, making the Sword Stele look extremely mysterious and high quality. Lin Feng looked at the completely changed Sword Stele. He tried to carve the words ¡°Green Sky Sect, the Holy Land of Sword Cultivation. All the disciples are geniuses in sword cultivation, and their Sect Master is a sword prodigy cultivator. His talent in sword cultivation is one in ten thousand, and he can split Heaven and Earth with one sword strike and kill ghosts and gods¡± on the Stele. On the other side, Zhang Wanqing came out of the Treasury. She did not ask Lin Feng where he planned to go to forge the wonder. If she wanted to find him now, it would take her a while. When she walked to the square in front of the Main Hall, she caught sight of the streak of purple energy that was rapidly drifting across the horizon. However, she was being pestered by the disciples to ask if there was really a wonder that could enhance the sect¡¯s luck. She was interrupted, and when she raised her head again, she could no longer find the direction in which the streak of purple energy drifted away. She had no choice but to deal with the disciples around her first. Zhang Wanqing could roughly guess that the so-called wonder mentioned by Lin Feng was nothing more than a facade to stabilize the disciples¡¯ emotions. The purpose of saying this was very simple. He wanted to shoulder this matter alone so that the Green Sky Sect would have nothing to do with this matter. Therefore, when she was stopped by the disciples to ask whether the wonder was real or not, she did not know how to explain it to them.. Just as Zhang Wanqing was rendered speechless by the question¡­ A large patch of auspicious clouds drifted over from outside the Green Sky Sect, covering the sky. The auspicious clouds brought not only the most beautiful scenery, but also rich spiritual energy. On the mountain where the auspicious clouds drifted over, all the plants looked as if they had been washed; they did not look decadent at all; instead, they looked luxuriant and full of spiritual energy. On the square, Zhang Wanqing and the disciples all raised their heads and stared at the auspicious clouds until they stopped in the sky above the Ancestral Master Hall at the back of the mountain and gradually turned into a deeper and deeper shade of purple. As the auspicious clouds passed by, the purple color in the sky continued to spread for a long time without dissipating. At the same time, everyone sighed heartily. So this was the purple energy that came from thirty thousand miles east.. Chapter 6 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The auspicious clouds dyed both Heaven and Earth, and the purple energy surrounded the mountains and rivers. In the distance on the horizon, the endless auspicious clouds drifted toward the Green Sky Sect. The faint purple colored energy gathered in the sky above the Ancestral Master Hall, and the color was getting darker and darker. Along the way, the strange phenomenon of the clouds in the sky was accompanied by spiritual energy that almost condensed into water droplets. This was an unprecedented phenomenon in Longyan County. All the animals and greenery in the mountains were benefited to varying degrees by the auspicious clouds. The closer they were to the center of the Green Sky Sect, the more they got. On the hilltops around the Ancestral Master Hall, they could even see species that were sworn enemies of each other in the same place enjoying the unexpected gifts from Heaven. This phenomenon also caused a great stir in the Green Sky Sect. All the disciples¡¯ swords let out a faint sword hum, as if they were cheering and jumping, which shocked the disciples greatly. The disciples in the square discussed this among themselves. This sudden phenomenon was indeed too sudden and shocking. The purple energy that extended from the horizon all the way to the sky above the Green Sky Sect was not only visually shocking, but also contained a great amount of power. The sword chimes emitted by the disciples in the square with their swords were extremely rare, and only a few of these disciples were Sword Cultivators, so they naturally did not understand how rare the sword chimes were. However, in the square, the Sword Cultivator with the highest cultivation level and the highest talent was Zhang Wanqing, the Junior Sister of Lin Feng. She knew the meaning of the sword chimes very well. Zhang Wanqing was extremely shocked. She thought that her Senior Brother wanted to take those resources and go to the East Sun Sect to seek peace. She did not expect this. ¡°Senior Brother, what have you done to cause such a supreme phenomenon¡­ ?¡± Zhang Wanqing looked dazedly in the direction of the Ancestral Master Hall in the back mountain. The purple energy was so thick that it was almost black and purple. The disciples¡¯ discussions could be heard. ¡°Senior Brother, what do you think is going on?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Senior Brother. Why is my sword vibrating?¡± An inner disciple of the sword cultivation sect was surrounded by the other disciples and asked. Although this inner disciple¡¯s sword cultivation was not as powerful as the Sect Master, he was still the second most powerful swordsman in the Green Sky Sect. When the others did not know what was going on, of course, they would ask someone who seemed easy to talk to. ¡°Sword chimes are extremely rare. There are almost twenty swords in the square, and they are all ringing at the same time. I don¡¯t know the specific reason, but it must have something to do with the strange phenomenon in the sky¡­¡± The inner disciple was only a half-baked Sword Cultivator, so he did not know the answers to the questions either. He wanted to ask the Senior Sister for help, but the Senior Sister had a cold expression with her brows furrowed in a daze. He did not know what she was thinking, so he did not dare go up to her. He did not know the reason for the collective sword chimes of the Green Sky Sect, so he could only give a vague explanation. ¡°Senior Brother, what you said was not helpful at all¡­¡± The inner disciple scratched his cheek awkwardly and ignored the teasing from the other disciples. His gaze also fell in the direction of the Ancestral Master Hall, and wondered what was going on there. In this world, there was no single cultivation method. Although most people chose the path of becoming a Qi Cultivator, only a few talented people could choose other cultivation methods. Sword Cultivators were essentially Qi Cultivators, but they were just the more powerful ones among the Qi Cultivators. Because of their immense killing power, Sword Cultivators¡¯ combat strength would increase by one in a battle of the same level, but it was not an increase of one¡¯s cultivating realm. One¡¯s cultivating realm would not inexplicably increase by one level just because someone had an extremely powerful flying sword in their hand. Sword Cultivators must be Qi Cultivators with a Natal Flying Sword. This was the foundation. Without the Natal Flying Sword, one could not be called a Sword Cultivator. At the same time, one also had to practice sword techniques. Otherwise, even if one had a Natal Flying Sword, would it not be a waste to not practice sword techniques? However, Qi Cultivators who did not have a Natal Sword could also be called Sword Cultivators because of their superior sword techniques and sword Qi. The number of Sword Cultivators in a sect was closely related to the luck of the Sword Dao of the sect. However, the luck from the Sword Dao was so mysterious that no one could tell what it was going to be like. Zhang Wanqing, the strongest attacker in the current generation of the Green Sky Sect, had a lower cultivation state than Lin Feng, but Lin Feng would not be able to defeat her in a real fight. From this, it could be seen how powerful the Sword Cultivators were. As a talented Sword Cultivator, Zhang Wanqing could sense the enormous amount of luck from the Sword Dao brought by the purple energy even though her cultivation level was not high. She was guessing that the Green Sky Sect would definitely produce several Sword Dao geniuses in the future! While she was still shocked by the tremendous luck of the Sword Dao, the luck of the Sword Dao had started to be given to all the disciples in the sect. As the one with the best talent in Sword Dao in the Green Sky Sect, Zhang Wanqing had received the greatest amount of luck. After receiving the gift of the wonder, she even felt that the bottleneck of the Sword Dao that had stagnated her cultivation for a long time had disappeared completely. In just a short while, Zhang Wanqing¡¯s strength had increased by a small level. If she could immediately go into seclusion, she believed she would definitely be able to break through a large realm. At this moment, not only was she shocked, she was also curious. What did her Senior Brother do in such a short period of time? The disciples on the square felt the gift of luck that they had received. According to each person¡¯s talent in Sword Dao, the amount of luck they received was also different. The more luck they received, the more obvious it was for the disciples. On the other side, in front of the Ancestral Master Hall, Lin Feng looked at the grand scene above his head. The purple energy that came from thirty thousand miles east.. He had never seen such a grand scene in both his lifetimes. What shocked him the most was that the Initial Stage of the Jade Heavenly Long Sword could trigger such a phenomenon. If he continued to level up¡­ Lin Feng did not dare to imagine it. He could only say that the system was even more powerful than he had imagined. The strange phenomenon in the sky not only caused a huge impact to the people of the sect, but even Lin Feng himself had never expected it to cause such a huge commotion. Lin Feng was still in a state of shock and it took a long time for him to recover. Suddenly, from the black-purple vortex above his head, a huge wave of luck from the Sword Dao rushed straight towards him. The luck was clearly a mysterious and illusory thing, but Lin Feng could feel that there was indeed a huge wave of air rushing towards him. Just like the purple energy that came from thirty thousand miles, this luck from the Sword Dao also took a long time to end its attack. Lin Feng was stunned for a long time. The huge gift of luck from the Sword Dao ended, and in the next moment, the Supreme Sword Body was directly awakened! The overwhelming sword Qi caused a phantom to appear behind him. Its shape was like a sword, and one could not see its exact form clearly. At the same time, a Supreme Sword Intent was emitted from Lin Feng¡¯s body. If one did not use their eyes to look, they would think that what was standing there was a sword and not a human. It was unheard of for a Natal Flying Sword to be born when the Sword Body had just awakened. Lin Feng took some time to adapt to his new power, and knew that the sword-shaped shadow behind him was the Natal Flying Sword that was born when his Supreme Sword Body awakened.. Chapter 7 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio With the awakening of the Supreme Sword Body and the successful nurturing of the Natal Flying Sword, Lin Feng had broken through from the Beginning Stage to the Intermediate Stage of the Origin Building Realm. The most intuitive feeling that a breakthrough in a realm brought to Lin Feng was the force. The force that the Supreme Sword Body brought to him was unparalleled. At the Beginning Stage of the Origin Building Realm, the Qi Cultivator¡¯s Dantian had just formed their foundation. Following that, the training required the Dantian foundation to be tempered bit by bit to build a solid foundation. As more and more spiritual energy was absorbed into the body, every time he circulated the technique, it would nourish all the meridians in his body, and every time it strengthened him a bit more¡­, so he would break through to the next level. Now that Lin Feng had awakened the Supreme Sword Body and successfully nurtured his own Natal Flying Sword, he had reached the results that his Junior Sister worked hard for so many years to reach. The system was indeed powerful. All Sword Cultivators in the world had to have a Natal Flying Sword, and there were two main sources of getting a Natal Flying Sword. The first way was for the Qi Cultivator to nurture their own Natal Flying Sword, so it would be completely compatible with their own Sword Dao to unleash 100% of its power. However, there were thousands of Sword Cultivators in the world, and only one out of ten thousand was able to nurture their own Natal Flying Sword, and Lin Feng was in this category. The second category was the Innate Sword Embryo that was nurtured from Heaven and Earth and was later refined by a Qi Cultivator into a Natal Flying Sword. This kind of thing was extremely rare, and it could easily allow ordinary Qi Cultivators to become Sword Cultivators. The Natal Flying Sword of Junior Sister Zhang Wanqing was in this category. However, the Natal Flying Sword of most Sword Cultivators in the world did not belong to these two categories. Apart from these two ways, the Sword Cultivators who obtained their Natal Flying Swords were also known as ¡®Pseudo Sword Cultivators¡¯. There were three ways for Pseudo Sword Cultivators to obtain their flying swords. The first way was to obtain a fake flying sword, which was made by a cultivator. It only had the shape of a flying sword, so it was not very powerful. After refining the sword, it could also become a Natal Flying Sword. The second way was to refine the Natal Flying Swords left behind by other Sword Cultivators. However, this kind of thing was as rare as an Innate Sword Embryo. It could also be called an Acquired Sword Embryo, because most Natal Flying Swords would have been shattered before the Qi Cultivator passed away. It was very rare for the Natal Flying Sword to still exist when the owner passed on. And although this Natal Flying Sword could make a cultivator look like a Sword Cultivator and increase their battle strength, it was actually not the case. Because the sword that was refined was not suitable for oneself, one would be unable to unleash the natal power of the flying sword. In the end, it could only be used as a regular flying sword. The last type was the Saber. As long as the Qi Cultivator cultivated sword arts and was good at it, there would be a lot of Qi from the Sword. Even if they did not have the Natal Flying Sword, just by using a high quality Saber, they would still be able to display a superior battle strength, this type of Qi Cultivator was also known as a Pseudo Sword Cultivator. Most Sword Cultivators would carry another sword along with their Natal Flying Sword. Lin Feng had just awakened the Supreme Sword Body and became a true Sword Cultivator. He was still very curious about his Natal Flying Sword. After all, the Natal Flying Sword was the foundation for Sword Cultivators. From the moment it was born, it would always accompany the growth of Sword Cultivators. He summoned his Natal Flying Sword and examined it carefully. The flying sword¡¯s name was ¡°Sparrow in a Cage¡±. It trapped the enemy between Heaven and Earth and covered Heaven and Earth. It was a sparrow in a cage. After being in a cage for a long time, one would want to return to nature. But it is a journey that Heaven and Earth would go against. Who was not a sparrow in a cage? Simply put, Lin Feng¡¯s Natal Flying Sword Sparrow in a Cage was to pull the enemy into a small world created by Qi of his Sword. In this area, he was a god-like existence. Every strand of Qi from the Sword would turn into a flying sword, and it was all under his control. ¡°This Natal Flying Sword is simply invincible!¡± After Lin Feng understood what kind of cheat the system had added to him, he could not help but exclaim excitedly. On the path of Heaven defying cultivation, with such a flying sword, Lin Feng believed that his safety was greatly guaranteed. Through the system¡¯s description, he could already imagine how powerful his Natal Flying Sword was. He became even more curious. What kind of power could his Natal Flying Sword display? At this moment, the figure of his Junior Sister appeared in the distance. Lin Feng did not hesitate and directly took action, pulling Zhang Wanqing into the space of the Sparrow in a Cage. The phenomenon in the sky gradually disappeared. The Ancestral Master Hall at the back of the mountain was the source of the phenomenon. After Zhang Wanqing came back to her senses, she directly ran towards the back of the mountain. There was still a distance from the Ancestral Master Hall. Suddenly, the weather changed and she was instantly in danger. Before she could resist, she looked at her Senior Brother, who was standing not far in front of her with an excited look on his face. Countless awe-inspiring Qi from the Sword turned into a long sword that hung in the air. Zhang Wanqing was surrounded by the sword Qi, and the sharp sword Qi almost cut through her skin. In the bird cage built by the sword¡¯s intent, Lin Feng casually moved the Qi of the sword hanging upside down above his head and constantly changed the direction of his attack. Zhang Wanqing thought to herself, in the current situation, with her Advanced Stage in the Origin Building Realm and the addition of the strength of a Sword Cultivator, she might not even be a match for her Senior Brother. Zhang Wanqing was very confused about when her Senior Brother became a Sword Cultivator. In addition, how could her Senior Brother¡¯s sword intent be so strong? She was very confused about this. Lin Feng saw the shock on his Junior Sister¡¯s face and was quite satisfied with this Natal Flying Sword. After trying the strength of the sparrow in a cage, he was satisfied and withdrew his power. ¡°Junior Sister, are you hurt? Did I scare you?¡± After withdrawing his power, Lin Feng walked up to Zhang Wanqing. Although her face was still cold, he could see that her Junior Sister was more curious rather than angry. ¡°Senior Brother, when did you become a Sword Cultivator? And you¡¯re so strong!¡± Zhang Wanqing asked casually. ¡°Just now, I just became a Sword Cultivator. The ability to trap you is the ability of my Natal Flying Sword.¡± After Lin Feng responded, he saw that his Junior Sister¡¯s face was still cold. Her expression did not change at all, and he did not care. She was always like this. Unlike the calmness on her face, Zhang Wanqing was shocked in her heart. How long has it been? Her Senior Brother, who had been busy with the management of the sect and neglected his cultivation, had suddenly broken through to the Intermediate Stage of the Origin Building Realm. He had even become a Sword Cultivator who had nurtured his own Natal Flying Sword! What was even more ridiculous was that the Natal Flying Sword that her Senior Brother had just awakened seemed to be too powerful.. No matter how shocked she was in her heart, out of trust in her Senior Brother, she did not continue to dwell. She turned her attention to the Jade Heavenly Long Sword behind Lin Feng. As she stared at the Sword Stele, a mysterious feeling suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart. ¡°Senior Brother, did you find the materials to forge this thing?¡± Zhang Wanqing looked at the Sword Stele, and her expression finally changed and she could not help but ask. ¡°That¡¯s right, this is the wonder I mentioned before.¡± Lin Feng explained with a smile. ¡°Then, the phenomenon just now was also caused by the creation of this wonder? Such a big commotion¡­¡± Lin Feng only smiled and nodded indifferently. He did not reply. He moved aside so that his Junior Sister could clearly see the entire Sword Stele. When Zhang Wanqing saw the big words carved on the Sword Stele, she was even more shocked! Chapter 8 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After carefully identifying the two lines of words carved on the Sword Stele, Zhang Wanqing was completely stunned. She did not expect that there would be such a strange object in this world! Lin Feng looked at Zhang Wanqing, whose red lips were slightly parted and eyes wide open. She had an expression of disbelief on her face, but he did not say anything to explain. It could also be considered as his wicked interest as being a Senior Brother. Facing a cold and beautiful Junior Sister, Lin Feng believed that everyone would have the same thoughts. Ever since he was young, his favorite thing to do was to tease her, always wanting her cold face to show other expressions. Even now that Xinzi had changed her soul, this little habit seemed to have stuck with her. In front of the Ancestral Master Hall, after Lin Feng and Zhang Wanqing finished their conversation, they understood the whole situation. And in the square in front of the Main Hall, where all the disciples gathered. Many disciples had immediately comprehended the Half Step Sword Intent after receiving the gift of luck from the Sword Dao. Some disciples who had already comprehended the Half Step Sword Intent had directly broken through to the Completion Stage of the sword intent after receiving the gift of luck from the Sword Dao. In the cultivation of Sword Cultivators, comprehending the sword intent was the foundation, and above sword intent was the birth of their own Natal Flying Sword. For a Sword Cultivator, only after comprehending the sword¡¯s intent could he be considered to have entered the rudiments of cultivation. The spiritual energy and luck brought by the auspicious clouds and purple energy just now allowed the disciples of the Green Sky Sect to receive different degrees of support, regardless of whether they were inner or outer sect disciples. The most obvious ones were those disciples who were talented in sword techniques. They received the most benefits. The disciples who seemed to have sensed something on the square chose to comprehend and break through on the spot. Those Qi Cultivator disciples who had never thought of becoming Sword Cultivators before, those with good talent, actually surpassed the Half Step Sword Intent and directly reached the Completion Stage of sword intent. ¡°Senior Brother, I have broken through the Half Step Sword Intent. Does this mean that I can also become a Sword Cultivator in the future?¡± An inner disciple woke up from his meditative state and noticed the changes in himself. He immediately asked the Senior Brother from the inner sect, who had taken good care of him beside him. ¡°What? He¡¯s already reached the Completion Stage of Sword Intent! ?¡± The Senior Brother from the inner sect was extremely shocked. He did not expect the little disciple, who usually followed behind him, would have such a high talent in Sword Dao. ¡°That¡¯s right, Senior Brother. That wave of purple energy seemed to have descended on my body. I suddenly had an epiphany. When I came back to my senses, I had already reached the Completion Stage.¡± The excitement on the young disciple¡¯s face was evident. The other disciples around him woke up from their meditative states one after another. Looking at him, they all began to discuss the gifts they had received. ¡°What do you think of the purple energy just now? What was it that descended at the end? It actually caused people to enter into a meditative state together!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Even if you told me that the disturbance just now was caused by the Grandmaster of the Green Sky Sect, who was resurrected after becoming an immortal, I would believe you. Could it be that the purple energy that descended was luck?¡± ¡°Looking at the direction. The auspicious clouds are heading towards the Ancestral Master Hall¡­ the Senior Sister had already headed towards there earlier, and the direction she¡¯s heading to is the Ancestral Master Hall.¡± ¡°Was the Sect Master at the Ancestral Master Hall earlier?¡± ¡°Eh! Could it be that the Sect Master caused the abnormal phenomenon just now? !¡± ¡­ The disciples on the square were discussing among themselves. Some of them guessed that the abnormal phenomenon was caused by Lin Feng. This guess was accepted by many disciples. Many of them saw Lin Feng go to the Ancestral Master Hall before the strange phenomenon happened. The more the disciples in the square talked, the more they thought it was true. Although they did not know what the Sect Master did to cause such a big commotion, as long as they knew that it was the Sect Master who caused the strange phenomenon.., it made the disciples show even more admiration for Lin Feng. On the side of the Ancestral Master Hall, Lin Feng originally thought that after Zhang Wanqing had recovered from her shock, she would take the initiative to ask about the Jade Heavenly Long Sword and the wondrous situation. What he did not expect was that she had no intention of asking at all. When the two of them appeared in the square of the Main Hall, Lin Feng stood on the stairs and watched the disciples in the square discussing the benefits that the strange phenomenon had brought them. Lin Feng, who had already successfully obtained the Supreme Sword Body, knew the situation of the disciples below at a glance. Lin Feng nodded slightly. It was already quite remarkable that the Sword Stele could have such an effect when it was just established. The disciples who had already comprehended the Half Step Sword Intent still lacked an opportunity. The Supreme Sword Body aura instantly spread out from Lin Feng¡¯s body. The incomparably sharp sword aura went out from his body, and attracted the luck of the Sword Dao that the Sword Stele emitted towards the square. After the energy gathered, the disciples who had already comprehended the Half Step Sword Intent broke through to the Completion Stage of the Sword Intent. In an instant, the sword¡¯s energy shot up into the sky. An extraordinary phenomenon as powerful as the purple energy from the east formed in an instant. The sword intents of dozens of people formed a shocking sword aura under the guidance of the Supreme Sword Body. A huge flying sword shadow formed in the sky above the Green Sky Sect. This sword aura that seemed to be able to pierce through the sky gradually solidified as more and more people broke through. This strange phenomenon was even more shocking to the other forces. The East Sun Sect was the closest to the Green Sky Sect. They knew clearly that the Green Sky Sect was the place where the strange phenomenon occurred twice in one day! When the disciples on the square stopped breaking through, Lin Feng withdrew his sword aura. The disciples below all saw the Sect Master standing on the high ground and realized that the Sect Master was helping them break through. Therefore, the disciples were more certain of their previous guess and they respected their Sect Master more and more. Everyone bowed to Lin Feng on the stairs in unison. Zhang Wanqing, who was standing beside Lin Feng, also looked at her Senior Brother with admiration. Lin Feng felt extremely gratified when he saw that the disciples¡¯ strength had all improved to different degrees. ¡°Sect Master!¡± ¡°Sect Master! Is this the power of wonder you were talking about?¡± ¡°Will there be many more Sword Cultivators in our sect in the future?¡± .. Lin Feng walked down the steps and came to the square. The disciples immediately surrounded him and asked him a lot of questions. He raised his arm and pressed it down, signaling for everyone to be quiet. After the scene quieted down, the disciples all looked at Lin Feng, waiting for him to speak. ¡°I will choose to answer the key questions. As for the rest, you can go to the Ancestral Master Hall and see for yourselves.¡± Lin Feng looked around at the surrounding disciples and said slowly. The disciples present were almost one-third of the entire Green Sky Sect. He was not worried. The other disciples who were outside the sect would receive the gift of luck from the Sword Dao whenever they returned to the sect. This was the effect of a wonder. ¡°You all have some understanding of Sword Cultivators. You should know that after comprehending sword intent, you can already be called a Half Step Sword Cultivator. Next, you must quickly nurture your Natal Flying Swords.¡± ¡°If anyone says that they can¡¯t do it, then quickly report it to your Senior Sister. The sect will do its best to find the most suitable Natal Flying Swords for each of you to refine.¡± As soon as Lin Feng said this, the eyes of several inner sect disciples who were Sword Cultivators before this lit up. Some of them had not had their own Natal Flying Sword for a long time. Now that the Sect Master had spoken, the sect would help them find their own Natal Flying Sword; naturally, they were looking forward to it. Seeing the changes in the disciples, Lin Feng was even more expectant. After the Second Stage of forging the Jade Heavenly Long Sword was completed, what kind of improvement could it bring to the Green Sky Sect? Until now, he finally believed that the golden finger could bring back the glory of the Green Sky Sect.. Chapter 9 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Lin Feng¡¯s few words made the disciples below very excited. Except for a few young disciples who had not cultivated for a long time and did not quite understand how rare it was to make a promise about their Natal Flying Sword, the other disciples who had cultivated for a long time knew very well what the meaning of it was. A few young disciples curiously asked their Senior Brothers whom they were in good relations with. Lin Feng opened the system while everyone was discussing and looked at the materials needed to forge the second stage of the Jade Heavenly Long Sword. Mirage Sea Crystal Soul? Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron? Lin Feng was stunned when he saw these two materials. There were not many materials needed for the second stage, only a total of eight. However, the materials used for the second stage were all top-tier refining materials. Lin Feng instantly felt his scalp go numb. After exiting the system, the disciples saw that the Sect Master was looking at them. They all understood the meaning of the promise the Sect Master had made to them as well. They stopped discussing and looked at him expectantly. ¡°Just now, everyone has received the gift from the Sword Stele wonder and your cultivation states have all improved to different levels.¡± ¡°Many of you have even comprehended the Sword Intent, and some of you have even reached the Completion Stage of the Sword Intent.¡± ¡°This shows that the disciples of our Green Sky Sect are all talented, but you all still lack a bit of opportunity.¡± Looking at the disciples whose eyes were filled with excitement, Lin Feng was also a bit excited. After all, he had suddenly transmigrated to the body of the Sect Master of the Green Sky Sect, so he had no feelings for this down-and-out sect. When he was stared at by a group of strangers in the Main Hall with looks full of trust, he felt that he could not let go of this responsibility. He was very glad that he had brought a cheat with him when he transmigrated. Now that he had the ability to save this down-and-out sect, he could at least live up to the trust of the more than one hundred disciples behind him. ¡°No, all of this is thanks to the Sect Master. If it weren¡¯t for the Sect Master¡¯s hard work, how could we have such a breakthrough?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If it weren¡¯t for the Sect Master finding the blueprint of the wonder and successfully refining it, how could we have easily broken through the Sword¡¯s Intent?¡± ¡°Sect Master, if it weren¡¯t for you, we wouldn¡¯t have had the chance to obtain the luck of the Sword Dao.¡± .. Lin Feng felt satisfied after hearing the disciples¡¯ self-deprecation and praise for him. In his opinion, these people were just strangers, but to the disciples of the Green Sky Sect, he was their Sect Master. He did not explain any further. Only by working hard to develop and strengthen the Green Sky Sect could he live up to the trust of the disciples in the sect. Lin Feng turned his gaze to his Junior Sister. ¡°Junior Sister, let¡¯s start the second stage of the construction immediately!¡± Hearing her Senior Brother¡¯s request, Zhang Wanqing turned around and left without saying anything, walking towards the direction of the Treasury. This time, the Junior Sister¡¯s attitude had a huge change. Without waiting for Lin Feng to finish what he wanted to say, she took the initiative to take him to the Treasury of the Sect. When they came to the Treasury again, Lin Feng was not like the last time he came here. He had already looked through the materials in the first half of the Treasury. Although finding the Black Yang Stone and the Blue Sea Stone Heart was an accident, it made him clearly know that there were many materials in the Treasury that were not valued. ¡°What materials do you need this time, Senior Brother?¡± Zhang Wanqing brought Lin Feng back to the Treasury. Until now, she still did not know what materials were needed for the Second Stage of refining the Sword Stele. ¡°Oh, I almost forgot to say that I still need eight materials this time. It¡¯s just that they are much rarer than before.¡± Lin Feng thought for a moment and told her about the eight materials needed for the Second Stage of refining. ¡°The Mirage Sea Crystal Soul and the Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron are the two materials that are the most important for this refining.¡± ¡°Azure Sky Stone Mine, Dark Iron Concentrate Mine, Red Gold Copper Mine, Dark Cloud Black Mine. These four kinds of ores are the main materials, and we would need a lot of them.¡± ¡°Lastly, there is the Nephrite and the Golden Thunder Bamboo. These two materials are actually some special plants¡­¡± After saying the eight kinds of materials, Lin Feng raised his head and saw that his Junior Sister was already frozen on the spot. The materials needed for this refinement were much more expensive than last time. But even so, after Zhang Wanqing came back to her senses, she immediately went to find the materials for Lin Feng without batting an eyelid. At this moment, she was trying to persuade herself in her heart, ¡°If I use some cultivation resources, then I can exchange for a huge increase in the fate of the sect¡¯s disciples in the Sword Dao. It¡¯s not a loss at all!¡± Lin Feng looked at his Junior Sister¡¯s appearance and could not help but laugh. She did not seem to be giving him a nice look, but her actions proved her support for him. The two of them searched the Treasury separately for a long time, but in the end, they only found half of the materials. ¡°Senior Brother, the Azure Sky Stone Mine has been occupied by the East Sun Sect. After we used up our stock, we never went to furnish our stock. After all, you know how tight the sect¡¯s budget is¡­¡± Speaking of the Azure Sky Stone Mine, Zhang Wanqing¡¯s face turned red. This kind of ore was not a rare item, but it was not in the Treasury. Most importantly, this mine originally belonged to the Green Sky Sect, but because she did not have the ability to defend it, the East Sun Sect snatched it away. Now that she needed an ordinary ore, there was not a single piece in the Treasury. This was her failure to fulfill her duty as the ¡°Finance Minister¡±. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. If you know where to get this thing, there will always be a way. It¡¯s just the Nephrite, Golden Thunder Bamboo, and Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron that are more difficult to deal with. After all, we still don¡¯t know where to find it.¡± Lin Feng comforted her. Even if she wanted to protect the Mine Stone, she could not do it. After all, even he, the Sect Master, could not do it. As for the lack of money to buy the materials, it was also his fault as the Sect Master. Zhang Wanqing was a little depressed. She racked her brain to recall where she had heard about the remaining materials. After a while, she suddenly said excitedly. ¡°Senior Brother, I know! I heard that the remaining three materials appeared in Longyan County, in the city!¡± Looking at the Junior Sister in front of him, who seemed to be trying her best to make up for something, Lin Feng felt that she was very silly. ¡°Senior Brother, let me make a trip to Longyan County. I will get the materials you want back as soon as possible.¡± After saying that, Zhang Wanqing looked at her Senior Brother, waiting for him to agree to her decision. However, she did not know what Lin Feng was thinking about, so he did not reply for a long time. She was afraid that Lin Feng would reject her, so she said a few more words. ¡°Senior Brother, look, there are many disciples in the sect who have comprehended the Sword Intent and have the foundation to become Sword Cultivators.¡± ¡°Now is the time to take the opportunity to find the materials, to bring the disciples down the mountain to train and bring back the forging materials for the Second Stage.¡± Zhang Wanqing¡¯s eyes were filled with anticipation, afraid that Lin Feng would not even give her a chance to make up for her mistakes. Lin Feng was also itching to go. He had never left the sect since he came to this world, so he was also very curious about the outside world. ¡°How about this. I will go down the mountain with you this time. While we are searching for materials, I will also bring my disciples down to gain some experience.¡± Actually, what he was most curious about was the level of his current strength after obtaining the Supreme Sword Body. Zhang Wanqing was a little surprised by her Senior Brother¡¯s decision. However, it made sense. After all, it had been a long time since her Senior Brother had left the mountain. Now that he had made a huge breakthrough in his strength, he naturally wanted to go out for a spin.. Chapter 10 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After Lin Feng finished speaking, he looked at his Junior Sister, who was deep in thought and did not urge her. The atmosphere in the Treasury was silent for a long time before Zhang Wanqing finally responded to her Senior Brother¡¯s words. ¡°Then bring a few talented disciples who are strong down the mountain.¡± ¡°First of all, they are here to see the world. In addition, they should go down the mountain to train and hone their strength. After all, Sword Cultivators have to grow in all kinds of crises.¡± As Zhang Wanqing said this, she was thinking about the candidates she would bring down the mountain this time. ¡°Let¡¯s do as Junior Sister said. You decide the candidates. I don¡¯t have any objections.¡± Lin Feng did not care about this. He just wanted to go down the mountain to see the outside world. After the two finished discussing, they left the Treasury. On the way to the Main Hall, Zhang Wanqing sent out a messenger pigeon and summoned all the inner and outer disciples. ¡°Next, I will choose five disciples who have comprehended the Sword Intent to follow me, and your Senior Sister, the Chief Lawyer, to go down the mountain for training.¡± All the disciples had arrived. Lin Feng stood at the Head of The Main Hall and went straight to the point. As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples below went into a commotion. Everyone was very clear about the strength of their Sect Master. In the past, he would not go down the mountain easily, but this time, he actually wanted to go with them for training? All the disciples instantly felt that this matter was somewhat unusual. ¡°Ahem¡­¡± Seeing the disciples below buzzing with discussion, Zhang Wanqing coughed heavily. All the disciples were instantly silenced. At this moment, Lin Feng could clearly feel the extraordinary status and dignity of his Junior Sister in the sect. After everyone quieted down, according to what she and Lin Feng had agreed, she would choose the disciples. ¡°Inner sect: Nan Mending, Jing Wenwen, Ming Yuxuan, Kong Lianghan, outer sect, Dongfang Yuanzhong. These five disciples are the ones who are going down the mountain to train.¡± Therefore, the five disciples who had comprehended the Sword Intent were called out by name. Except for the young outer sect disciple whose face was full of disbelief, the other four inner sect disciples were all excited. ¡°Alright, the other disciples will stay behind to guard the sect this time. We will be going for a long while. Everyone, don¡¯t slack off in your cultivation.¡± After the Junior Sister had selected everyone, Lin Feng gave some encouragement to the disciples who had not been selected. He left the five disciples who had been selected behind, and the rest of the disciples left on their own. Seeing the excited expressions of the five disciples, Lin Feng expressed his understanding. After giving a few pointers, he did not say anything more. The four inner disciples who had been selected were all at the Beginning Stage of the Condensing Reality Realm. The little outer disciple, Dongfang Yuanzhong, had only been cultivating for a short period of time, so he was only at the Advanced Stage of the Qi Gathering Realm. However, Lin Feng had heard from his Junior Sister that Dongfang Yuanzhong¡¯s talent in swordsmanship was excellent. When he was gifted by fate, he was the only one who had an epiphany. When he woke up, he had already reached the Completion Stage of the Sword Intent. Moreover, before this he was just a Qi Cultivator. Such talent in swordsmanship was not much different from Zhang Wanqing. Naturally, Lin Feng was overjoyed. This child¡¯s future achievements in swordsmanship would definitely not be low. After everything was prepared, Lin Feng and his group left the sect and headed to Longyan County. This was because they had two goals for this trip down the mountain. One was to find the remaining four materials needed for the Second Stage of forging the Jade Heavenly Long Sword. The other was to train the disciples. Therefore, Lin Feng did not choose to use his spiritual powers or spells to travel on the road. Instead, he asked everyone to slowly walk on the mountain like mortals. Whenever they encountered any danger on the road, he would ask his disciples to go up and try to solve it. With him and his Junior Sister present, everyone could practice their skills freely. This journey was also an experience for Lin Feng. As he had just arrived in this world, he had not experienced everything that his predecessor knew personally, so he did not feel much about it. After comparing the information in his mind with reality on the road, he found that his sense of belonging to this world had become stronger. At the same time, he felt the urgency and pressure of the crisis that the Green Sky Sect faced. Longyan County was a large county in the Great Spring Empire, and there were many big and small sects. As for the Green Sky Sect, it used to be the top sect in a county. It was unknown when it began to decline. Since Lin Feng, the previous eight generations of Sect Masters, all wanted to turn the tide and try to stop the decline of the Green Sky Sect. However, all their efforts were in vain. Instead, they became more and more down-and-out. The former head of the county controlled many cultivation resources and talented disciples. After they gradually declined, there were naturally a lot of people who took advantage of the situation to rob them of their resources. Surrounded by a pack of wolves, the decline of the Green Sky Sect could not be stopped. It could be seen from the number and quality of the disciples they recruited. When the disciples of a sect could no longer meet the needs of the sect¡¯s development, the decline of the Green Sky Sect had become a foregone conclusion. The original power of the Green Sky Sect was gradually divided by the sects who came to take advantage of them. As a result, the Green Sky Sect had no choice but to constantly shrink the scope of its core power in order to keep the fire seed. As the Ninth Sect Master of the Green Sky Sect after the decline, Lin Feng was not only the weakest among all the Sect Masters in Longyan County, but also the weakest sect among all the sects in Longyan County. Thinking of this, Lin Feng felt sad. After several generations of hard work, the Green Sky Sect could not return to its peak again, and it could not even get better. He had never seen the glory of the Green Sky Sect before, but with the help of the wonder system, Lin Feng was very confident that he could build the Green Sky Sect into a Supreme Immortal Dynasty in the future. After a long journey, Lin Feng arrived in Longyan County with his Junior Sister and five disciples. Although the geographical environment of the East Barren Region was relatively cold and harsh, the Great Spring Empire was located on fertile land in the central region, so the days in Longyan County were pretty good. Lin Feng and his group arrived in the outer city of Longyan County. It was noon, and people were walking to and fro the city gate. It was a lively scene with busy traffic. Looking at the city wall made of Azure Sky Stones, which was mottled with the traces of time, Lin Feng felt that it was very familiar. It was as if he had traveled back to Yan¡¯an City in his previous life. The Daoist robe of the Green Sky Sect had a green colored base. It was embroidered with different cloud patterns with different types of embroidery silk to differentiate the ranks of the disciples. As the leader of a sect, the Daoist robe on Lin Feng was embroidered with sword patterns on golden dragon silk. With his handsome face, he looked like an elegant Young Master. However, the people passing by avoided them. They did not even dare to look at Lin Feng and the others for too long. It was Lin Feng¡¯s first time going down the mountain. He was puzzled by the reactions of these ordinary people. ¡°Senior Brother, these people are afraid of the sword aura on your body¡­¡± Zhang Wanqing, who had been following her Senior Brother the whole time, immediately noticed his puzzlement and tried to explain it to him. ¡°Whew¡­ that scared me to death. I almost thought that the reputation of our Green Sky Sect in the outside world was that bad.¡± After hearing his Junior Sister¡¯s explanation, Lin Feng heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. If they were only afraid of the sword aura, then they should try their best to restrain it. ¡°After entering the city, all of you should restrain your sword aura and try not to cause any trouble to the ordinary people.¡± ¡°Yes, Sect Master!¡± After Lin Feng gave the order, the five disciples agreed to it. Usually, when cultivators like them went down the mountain, they seldom paid attention to the ordinary people¡¯s feelings. However, since the Sect Master had requested it, they had to do it. After giving a simple explanation, the group of people prepared to enter the city. Originally, Lin Feng wanted to line up to enter the city. However, the soldiers guarding the city hurriedly went forward and invited them to one side. They also told them that Cultivators did not need to line up with ordinary people to enter the city. They had a special passage for Cultivators. At this time, Lin Feng finally felt the privilege brought by strength.. Chapter 11 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Lin Feng sighed in his heart as he followed the soldier out the city gates. ¡°My Lords, I am the gatekeeper of the Longyan County. Please call me Suo Tian,¡± The soldier who came up to greet Lin Feng and his group carefully introduced himself. They didn¡¯t go far before Lin Feng saw cultivators wearing differently fashioned robes entering and exiting through an even taller gate. ¡°Sir, according to the law, please show me your sect certificate.¡± Even as a gatekeeper, Suo Tian was intimidated by Lin Feng¡¯s unrestrained aura just now, thus he seemed meek when he said this. Hearing this, Lin Feng turned his head to look at Zhang Wanqing. Zhang Wanqing understood and took out the Green Sky Sect¡¯s sect certificate from her storage ring and handed it to Suo Tian who was waiting at the side. After taking the certificate with both hands, Suo Tian opened it. When he saw the three big words ¡°Green Sky Sect¡± as well as the huge seal of the Great Spring Dynasty underneath, he knew that the certificate was genuine. However, even after Suo Tian thought for a long time, he still couldn¡¯t recall ever hearing of the Green Sky Sect that Lin Feng and his group were from. Based on the Qi of the sword that surrounded them when they had arrived at the city gates, Suo Tian speculated that Lin Feng and the others were probably the disciples that have come out on an adventure from a hidden sect in Longyan County. Otherwise, the Green Sky Sect wouldn¡¯t sound so unfamiliar. He thought especially so because the aura of Lin Feng who had the Supreme Sword Body was still astonishingly sharp even though he had deliberately restrained it. On top of that, the only female disciple in the group seemed to have an extraordinary status since the sect certificate was in her hands. Although the remaining five disciples were slightly weaker, they were still sword cultivators who had comprehended sword intent. Thinking of this, Suo Tian immediately handed the sect certificate back to Zhang Wanqing respectfully. ¡°Lords, I have finished my inspection. You may enter the city now.¡± Lin Feng looked at the disciples of the other sects who were still in line. He pondered for a while but didn¡¯t say anything more. He nodded at Suo Tian and led the disciples into the city. At the city gates, Lin Feng and the others had attracted the attention of many cultivators as soon as they arrived. Even if they were cultivators, they still had to follow the rules and go through the inspection line to enter the city. Let alone the fact that Lin Feng and the others didn¡¯t even have to queue up to enter the city, even the person who had just checked their sect certificate was a gatekeeper. This itself said volumes. Even though many were quite displeased for Lin Feng and the others to have entered the city directly, the gatekeeper had personally allowed them to enter. To a certain extent, it represented the will of the government. The disciples of small sects held the principle that it was better to avoid trouble when they were out. And thus, they would naturally avoid causing trouble for themselves. However, among the cultivators was one with quite a good cultivation base and could thus see through the matter further than others. ¡°We absolutely can¡¯t provoke these people. It¡¯s just a small adventurer team, yet all of them are sword cultivators who have the strongest killing power. It¡¯s impossible that they don¡¯t have a large sect supporting behind them!¡± That cultivator muttered in a low voice. It was unclear whether he was saying it to himself or to remind someone. The cultivators who were lining up watched as Lin Feng and the others disappeared through the gates and were all discussing in low voices. ¡°Senior brother, can you tell who those people are with your knowledge?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Those people just now are so intimidating. They didn¡¯t even pay spirit stones to enter the city¡­¡± ¡­ A few of the younger disciples surrounded their senior brothers and were discussing noisily. ¡°Those people are indeed not to be provoked. Remember, in the future, when you leave the mountain for adventure, don¡¯t get too close to such people if you encounter them,¡± The slightly older disciple looked at the indignant and depressed expressions on his junior brother¡¯s faces and felt rather smug in his heart as he said, ¡°Among those people just now, I can tell from the temperament of the leaders of the group, that man and woman, that they¡¯re from a large sect. The five people behind them who are slightly weaker should be their brothers who are following them on their adventure. Most importantly, there are seven people in a small team, and all of them are sword cultivators!¡± As soon as the person said that, the surrounding disciples all sucked in a breath of cold air. Sword cultivators had the highest lethality. Although the time needed for them to grow was twice as long as Qi cultivators, and the resources they needed for their cultivation were also multiplied, they could crush the Qi cultivators of the same level! If a sect wasn¡¯t strong enough, how could they have nurtured so many sword cultivators, let alone top-tier sword cultivators? Putting aside the commotion caused by Lin Feng and the others at the city gates. After entering the city, Lin Feng wanted to stroll around the streets, but his junior sister only wanted to gather the materials and return to the sect to forge the wonder. Thus, the dignified sect master of the Green Sky Sect who had wanted to stroll around could only helplessly admit defeat after his junior sister stared coldly at him for ten seconds. He allowed his junior sister to lead the way to their destination, the Longying Pavilion. The Longying Pavilion was a special organization of the Great Spring Dynasty. It was directly under the control of the Royal Family, and its existence was somewhat similar to that of the mercenary unions that Lin Feng was familiar with. In the few large regions, the humans only lived on thirty percent of the land, the remaining seventy percent were all high mountains and deep valleys where human activity was scarce. There were few human activities in the mountains and forests like this, because those places were the paradise for demons and poisonous creatures, which made them the forbidden areas for humans. The original purpose of the establishment of the Longying Pavilion was to issue missions on exterminating such creatures that the officials could not solve in time. The missions could be used as a form of practice for the sect disciples who had left their mountains for adventures. After completing the mission one took, one could receive the corresponding rewards from the Longying Pavilion. When Zhang Wanqing said that she had heard about the remaining three materials in Longyan County, she had in fact seen them among the mission rewards of the Longying Pavilion. This was Lin Feng¡¯s first time coming to the Longying Pavilion. He followed his junior sister into the hall and was looking around when a receptionist in uniform walked toward them. ¡°Greetings to the Lords of the Green Sky sect. You can call me Yisan.¡± Lin Feng was a little surprised that the person who came up to greet them could y tell their sect at a glance. The receptionist¡¯s words were very polite. He didn¡¯t look down on them due to the current low status of the Green Sky sect. ¡°We are here to take missions. Can you give us a brief introduction about the recent missions?¡± Lin Feng straightforwardly told him the purpose of their trip. With a polite smile on his face, Yisan didn¡¯t show any impatience as he led the group to the mission board and introduced the mission that was most suitable for them. ¡°There are several herbalists from Qingyan Village of the neighboring Qinglin Town who have gone missing on their way up the mountain to pick herbs. According to the feedback from the cultivators who have been there in the past, the demons are behind this¡­¡± Yisan explained the mission slowly with a heavy expression. This mission had been on the board for a long time. Due to the generous rewards, many had attempted to complete it, but none have succeeded thus far. ¡°If you are willing to accept this mission, what you have to do is to go to Qingyan Village and kill the demons who have been causing trouble everywhere. The reward for this mission is that you will be allowed to choose three items from the list of treasures in the Longyin Pavilion¡¯s branch in Longyan County.¡± As soon as Yisan finished speaking, he looked at the man and woman in the lead with a slightly expectant expression. After Lin Feng heard the mission requirements, he thought for a while and didn¡¯t hesitate anymore. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll accept this mission. As for the reward, get the Nephrite, Golden Thunder Bamboo, and Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron ready for me.¡± Yisan was slightly stunned as he watched Lin Feng state the rewards he wanted with confidence. He didn¡¯t expect the Green Sky Sect to have such confidence.. Chapter 12 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio As soon as they finished the procedures for receiving the mission at the Longyan Pavilion, Lin Feng and the others left straight away and rushed towards Qingyan Village, where the mission was located. It had been less than two hours from them entering the city and leaving the city. The gatekeeper Suo Tian was very puzzled by the behavior of the seven sword cultivators to be leaving the city not long after they had entered the city. Lin Feng decided he would not restrict everyone from using their spiritual energy on their trip to Qingyan Village this time. The way sword cultivators traveled was quite simple. Apart from the option of sword-riding, the other option was still sword-riding. When they reached the outer city, under Lin Feng¡¯s command, the disciples all took out their swords and used the Sword-riding Technique to rush to Qingyan Village. Lin Feng watched as the disciples used the Sword-riding Technique skillfully and nodded with satisfaction. He then looked at his junior sister who was beside him and signaled for her to set off. However, his junior sister did not move. She just stared at him. ¡°Junior sister, go on. The junior brothers are going to leave us behind,¡± Lin Feng could not help but remind her in a low voice. Zhang Wanqing did not move until her senior brother said this. She took out her natal flying sword, but she looked somewhat displeased. It was not until Lin Feng also left that the commotion at the city gates started again. After all, it was indeed rare to see seven sword cultivators at the same time, on top of that, all seven of them were from the same sect. The speed of a sword cultivator¡¯s sword-riding depended on the strength of the cultivator. Not only did Lin Feng have the highest cultivation in the team, but he was also the one with the highest attainments in the Sword Dao. He was the last to set off, but he caught up with the disciples who had set off first in ten breaths. Within the time it took to brew a pot of tea, they had already reached Qingyan Village. Qingyan Village was located on the periphery of Qingyan Forest. As it was close to the forest, it would often be invaded by wild beasts. However, even the ordinary villagers who did not cultivate could deal with those wild beasts from in the periphery of the forest. As the old saying goes, those living on a mountain would live off the mountain to survive. Since Qingyan Village¡¯s geographical environment was special, although it would often be attacked by wild beasts, Qingyan Forest was also a natural treasure house. Thanks to this, the villagers here could make a living off gathering herbs and hunting since their ancestors, which was why the disappearance of the herbalists had happened. Lin Feng led his disciples and landed at the entrance of the village. He had already taken in the surrounding environment from the sky just now. It was not much different from what he had thought it would be like. However, the arrival of their group instantly attracted the attention of many villagers. They inconspicuously surrounded them. Upon closer inspection, the villagers looked at them with distrust and wariness. This made Lin Feng extremely puzzled. After Zhang Wan Qing landed, she found the village chief among the crowd and walked straight towards him. She went straight to the point and stated their intentions. ¡°There is no need to trouble the celestials regarding the matters of the Qingyan Village,¡± When the village chief heard their intentions, his expression did not change, but at the same time, he also rejected them without hesitation. ¡°We will wait for the people from the Imperial Court to handle the matters, as for you celestials, please leave.¡± After the village chief finished speaking, he glanced at the cold-faced Zhang Wanqing. He saw that her brows were slightly furrowed and she looked as if she was about to get angry. He hurriedly turned around and asked the villagers for some money. Then, with a pained expression, he stuffed the scattered copper coins that he had just collected into Zhang Wanqing¡¯s hands along with a few pieces of silver. Zhang Wanqing¡¯s brows were tightly knitted. At this moment, Lin Feng came to her side and returned the belongings in her hands to the village chief. At this moment, a discordant voice came from the crowd, ¡°The harvest this year wasn¡¯t good, to begin with. These so-called celestials have come in waves. Each of them received plenty of gifts, yet none of them solved our problem¡­¡± ¡°Dazhuang, shut up. How can you speak so casually of the celestials! Dazhuang¡¯s wife, why aren¡¯t you stopping him? Your man has no filter, but are you also so brainless!?¡± The five senses of the cultivators were sharp. The moment the man who was as buff as a tower began to speak, everyone noticed him. Halfway through the man¡¯s words, the village chief hurriedly interrupted him. Even if they thought so in their minds, they couldn¡¯t say it out loud, let alone in front of the celestials. After the village chief reprimanded the man, he turned around and reprimanded the submissive little woman standing beside the man. ¡°Celestials, I¡¯m sorry. Da Zhuang fell and hit his head when he was young, so he speaks without thinking. Please be magnanimous and don¡¯t think much of his words,¡± After lecturing the villager called Da Zhuang, the village chief put on a meek expression and apologized as if he was eager to please Lin Feng and Zhang Wanqing. Lin Feng finally understood. It seemed that these villagers all thought that they were here to take advantage of the situation. No wonder they spoke with thorns in their words when talking to them. ¡°Village chief, we received the Imperial Court¡¯s mission from the Longying Pavilion. Regardless of all else, we will go up the mountain to help you solve your problems. We will also be paid by the Imperial Court when we go back, so we don¡¯t need anything from you,¡± Lin Feng hurriedly explained. Since it was a misunderstanding, it only needed to be resolved. After hearing Lin Feng¡¯s explanation, the village chief stood rooted to the ground. Even the surrounding villagers had looks of doubt on their faces. The situation was somewhat different from what they had thought. Seeing that the village chief and the others still did not believe it, Lin Feng asked his junior sister to take out the document that the Longying Pavilion had issued when they accepted the mission and let the villagers take a look. With the document as evidence, the village chief and the villagers finally trusted them and led them into the village. After entering the village, Lin Feng and the others saw a few disciples in the robes of other sects arguing with the villagers about something on the main road. ¡°Why are you so ignorant, old man? Didn¡¯t we say that we would definitely resolve this matter when our elder comes?¡± The disciple in the lead did not even bother to hide the arrogant and domineering expression on his face. ¡°Though, you should know, with our elder being such a strong Qi cultivator, how can he make a move for such a small matter? We are here asking for some good stuff for you so we can ask the elder to come and solve the problem for you. If you are so stingy, how can we invite the elder?!¡± As he spoke, the disciple even pushed and shoved the old man in front of him. How could the old man withstand such shoving from the young man? He immediately lost his balance and stumbled backward. Fortunately, a young man from the village was able to help him stand still in time. However, the movements of the old man caused the other sect disciples to burst into laughter. Watching all this unfold, Lin Feng¡¯s expression was full of disdain. ¡°Sect master, the one who pushed the old man was the East Sun Sect disciple who came to the spirit mine to cause trouble. Xiaowu was severely injured by him,¡± Ming Yuxuan¡¯s gnashing voice came into Lin Ming¡¯s ears. The disciple who had been severely injured and carried back to the sect after the conflict at the spirit mine was Yu Xuan¡¯s best friend. Now that he saw the smug cultivator, it could be said that his eyes were filled with fury. After learning about the identity of the other party, Lin Feng instantly felt that it wasn¡¯t strange at all that such a tasteless scene had happened. Even though he hadn¡¯t had any direct contact with the people of the East Sun Sect, the image of the sect in Lin Feng¡¯s mind couldn¡¯t be any worse. The appearance of the group from the Green Sky Sect was also noticed by the disciples of the East Sun Sect. The two sects had a long-standing grudge. As long as they encountered each other, neither of them would give the other a nice expression. ¡°Yo, aren¡¯t these the trash from the Green Sky Sect?¡± As expected, the disciples from the Dongyang sect, who had been used to being domineering in front of the Green Sky Sect, immediately mocked Lin Feng and the others.. Chapter 13 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio As the leading disciple of the East Sun Sect spoke, the atmosphere on the village road became a bit heavy. The moment the village chief realized that the two groups of celestials in differently-fashioned robes were enemies, he immediately pulled all the villagers to the side. A small vacuum zone was instantly isolated on the narrow village road. The five disciples of the East Sun Sect looked at the people of the Green Sky Sect with arrogance on their faces. ¡°Why are the trash of the Green Sky Sect here in such a far place? Aren¡¯t you guys guarding that broken spirit stone mine of yours?¡± ¡°Hahahaha¡­¡± ¡°Senior brother, can it be that they finally realize that they can¡¯t guard the mine and are planning to find a way out?¡± The disciples of the East Sun Sect let out mocking words. ¡°They can¡¯t be here for the mission, right? The mission of the Qingyan Village has been on the board for so long, and so many people have come and gone. Are the lot of you yearning death by coming here with just your lousy strength?¡± The disciples behind Lin Feng were all furious. Even his junior sister who was next to him was no exception. Her ice-cold face was as if ice shards could fall from it. Lin Feng was very clear about what the East Sun Sect was planning. In the eyes of Lin Feng, who had experienced all kinds of turmoil in the workplace, their low-level goading methods could not provoke him. ¡°You better watch your mouth. Don¡¯t think that we are afraid of you¡­¡± If Lin Feng hadn¡¯t stopped them, Nan Mending and the other four would have already attacked. Seeing that Lin Feng had stopped his disciples from attacking, the people of the East Sun Sect felt even more proud. It was just as they had expected, the people from the Green Sky Sect wouldn¡¯t dare to attack first. Therefore, they continued to mock them even more proudly. ¡°Humph, how dare you guys think of making a move? Haven¡¯t you been beaten up enough?¡± Ming Yuxuan couldn¡¯t hold himself back when he heard this. Looking at their proud faces, he knew that they were talking about what had happened at the spirit stone mine. Xiaowu had been severely injured by these scumbags, yet this guy still dared to mock him even now. Ming Yuxuan was about to make a move in anger, but he was stopped again by Lin Feng. The people of the East Sun Sect looked even smugger. ¡°The Green Sky Sect can¡¯t even protect yourselves, yet you still have the mood to come out on a mission? Besides, don¡¯t you know your level?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Just this mission in the Qingyan Village, even that sect master of yours who is still a baby can¡¯t handle¡­¡± Before the other party could finish his words, a sharp Qi of the sword instantly slashed out from Lin Feng¡¯s side. Its target was the disciples of the East Sun Sect. Zhang Wanqing had attacked in anger. As a sword cultivator, her cultivation realm was similar to theirs, but her killing power was stronger. However, this sword attack of anger was blocked by the guy in the lead of the East Sun Sect. Although these people had dirty mouths, they did have some skills. Lin Feng stopped his junior sister from continuing to attack. With a battle between cultivators, Heaven and Earth would collapse easily. Although their strength hadn¡¯t reached the point it couldn¡¯t create such a big commotion, it was still easy for them to destroy a village. ¡°I wonder where these flies came from, they have been buzzing non-stop since just now¡­¡± Lin Feng¡¯s expression was indifferent as he finally spoke. Everyone thought that he was worried he would lose if he fought and was going the endure the mocking since he had stopped his disciples and junior sister from making a move twice already. However, seeing Lin Feng¡¯s attitude now, it seemed that he did not think much of the disciples of the East Sun Sect, which they did not expect. Ignoring the East Sun Sect disciples whose expressions had changed because of his junior sister¡¯s sword attack, Lin Feng turned around and lectured his disciples, ¡°The strong should only swing their swords at those stronger than oneself. Only the weak will bully the weak. You have to remember that the people of the Green Sky Sect are never weak!¡± Lin Feng¡¯s words were loud and clear, and his serious expression made him seem dignified. Zhang Wanqing was moved when she saw her senior brother like this. She had never known that her calm and gentle senior brother had such a domineering side. Lin Feng¡¯s words made the expressions of the disciples of the East Sun Sect turn ugly instantly. However, he didn¡¯t pay any more attention to them. ¡°Humph, your words are powerful, but the true strength cultivators should be shown with your moves.¡± Seeing that they couldn¡¯t provoke the Green Sky Sect into making the first move, the disciples of the East Sun Sect couldn¡¯t help but feel indignant. ¡°Since you¡¯ve put it so nicely, let¡¯s put on a show about how the so-called strong cultivators will run helter-skelter from this mountain.¡± The other party¡¯s sarcastic words did not affect Lin Feng at all. Seeing her senior brother¡¯s indifferent look, Zhang Wanqing did not get angry either. She knew that her senior brother had a plan in mind. Seeing that they could not gain any advantage over Lin Feng, the five disciples of the East Sun Sect could only leave dejectedly. After the unimportant matters had finally come to an end, Lin Feng asked the villagers about the details of the incident. With a vague idea of the matter in his mind, he led his disciples into the mountain. After the group entered the depths of the Qingyan Forest, they relied on the demonic Qi of a demonic beast and the marks left by the missing herb gatherers to venture their way. In the depths of the Qingyan Forest, they found traces of a demonic beast staying here. When Lin Feng and the others found this place, the demonic beast was tearing its prey on the ground. With one look, Lin Feng knew that this demonic beast only had the strength of the beginning stage of the Origin Building Realm. He wanted to let his disciples train for a while, so he didn¡¯t make a move, and also told his junior sister not to make a move. He left this demonic beast to Ming Yuxuan and the other three to deal with. Although Dongfang Yuanzhong¡¯s strength was slightly weaker, his comprehension of the Sword Dao was much stronger than his four senior brothers, so he still had some lethality. After Lin Feng handed the task to them, he and his junior sister retreated to higher grounds behind this place. From there, not only could they overlook the battlefield below, but they could also help at any time. As the one with the highest cultivation realm within the five, Nan Mending was the center of the battle. Although the five of them had comprehended sword intent, it had only been a short time since their comprehension, and thus they still hadn¡¯t obtained their natal flying swords. ¡°Junior brothers, form the Five Elements Formation.¡± Following Nangong Ding¡¯s order, the remaining four brandished their swords and formed a formation according to certain footwork. Then, they rushed out. The demonic beast that was originally enjoying its lunch was instantly enraged after being momentarily dazed from being surrounded by five little bugs that had suddenly rushed out. It could sense malice from these little bugs, but its pea brain couldn¡¯t understand the current situation. The only thing it knew was that it was just eating and was now very angry for being suddenly interrupted! ¡°Roar¡­ roar¡­¡± The movements of the five in performing the footwork of the Five Elements Dormition and circling the demonic beast to find a chance to attack made the demonic beast, which didn¡¯t look very smart, more and more irritable, and it kept roaring furiously. The Five Elements Formation was one of the basic formations of the Green Sky Sect, and it had a very significant effect on trapping the enemy. However, its weakness was also very obvious. First of all, five people had to be gathered to use it. Moreover, it could only be used on enemies of the same cultivation realm or below, and the enemy could only be at most one cultivation realm higher than those forming the formation. The demonic beast that had been successfully trapped was unable to escape. No matter which direction it charged in, it was met with an incomparably sharp Qi of the sword. The sword intent contained within the Qi of the sword was even more torturous towards the demonic beast. Relying on the strongest of them, Nan Mending, who was only at the advanced stage of the Condensing Reality Realm, the five of them used their Qi of the sword and sword intent to successfully kill the demonic beast within the time it took to brew a pot of tea. After successfully killing the demonic beast that was in the Origin Building Realm, Nangong Ding looked at his four junior brothers beside him. Although they were tired, their eyes were filled with excitement. Seeing that the battle had ended, Lin Feng and Zhang Wanqing came down from the hill. The five disciples turned their heads to look at him with gratitude. At this moment, Lin Feng keenly sensed that danger was approaching.. Chapter 14 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The battle had just ended, but before Lin Feng could praise his disciples, a strong sense of danger hit him. Without time to think, he shouted at his disciples, ¡°Move!¡± The creature that was about to arrive was many more levels above his disciples who were only at the Condensing Reality Realm. If they didn¡¯t leave now, no one would be able to protect them when the battle started later. Lin Feng could sense a powerful aura rapidly approaching them from the depths of the forest. ¡°Roar¡­¡± Before any of them could see the true appearance of the demonic beast, its roars could be heard. From the roar, Lin Feng could hear its anxiety and worry. He lowered his head and looked at the Origin Building Realm demonic beast on the ground, deep in thought. Could it be the two demonic beasts were family? However, compared to the demonic beast on the ground that was only in the beginning stage of the Origin Building Realm, the one that was rushing towards them was probably of a much higher level. Lin Feng did not hesitate and decisively told his disciples to retreat first. Nan Mending and his four junior brothers had just accomplished a tough victory and had originally wanted to share the joy of victory with their sect leader. However, the sect leader¡¯s expression had suddenly changed and he had sternly called for them to leave. The five of them were extremely puzzled. As for Zhang Wanqing, when she heard the first angry roar from afar, her expression also became solemn. She also sensed the violent aura. ¡°Senior brother, you lead them to retreat. I¡¯ll stay behind.¡± However, the moment Zhang Wanqing just said these words, an unexpected change occurred. In the depths of the Green Rock Forest, the deeper one went, the taller the ancient trees were. The branches and leaves covered the sunlight. Nan Mending turned his head to look over and could feel that there seemed to be a man-eating wild beast lurking in the forest. A huge mountain-moving ape appeared in front of Lin Feng and the others in a few leaps. It just so happened it was approaching in the direction where Lin Feng and the others were retreating. ¡°Roar¡­ roar¡­¡± As the huge ape leaped towards them, it roared angrily at Lin Feng and the others. Lin Feng lowered his head to look at the demonic beast on the ground again. He saw that the sword wounds on the demonic beast¡¯s body were still dripping with blood. The dark red blood dyed the soil under its body a reddish-brown color. After the mountain-moving ape stopped, it opened its bloody mouth that carried a fishy smell and roared at them. Lin Feng could even see a touch of human-like sadness in its eyes. This made him even more certain that these two demonic beasts were family. The mountain-moving ape looked like the six-eared macaque that Lin Feng was very familiar with. It was just that its body was bigger and full of tendons and muscles. It looked abnormally strong. When it ran, the ground would shake violently, but its movements looked light and agile. ¡°Roar¡­ Roar¡­ Roar¡­¡± It started roaring again upon carefully inspecting the demonic beast¡¯s corpse on the ground after it stopped in front of Lin Feng and the others. The grief and anger in its roar were clearly conveyed. From the powerful aura that it emitted, Lin Feng could determine that this fellow was definitely a beast above the Black Core Realm. As they were within close proximity, the mountain-moving ape¡¯s powerful pressure was heavily suffocating to Nan Mending and the others. Before Lin Feng made a move, his junior sister who was next to him had already started to attack. The two of them had lived together for many years, so it was a given they had an impeccable tacit understanding. The moment Zhang Wanqing drew her sword and attacked, Lin Feng immediately led Nan Mending and the other four disciples away from the battle zone. With a cold face and a solemn expression, the young girl turned her head, her killing intent soaring to the sky. She first lowered her hands and pressed the thumb of her right hand on the hilt of her sword. Then, she took small steps to run. After about four to five steps, she suddenly exerted strength into her hands and feet. The three-foot-long sword in the snow-white scabbard was unsheathed and slanted forward. At the same time, her body bounced up and her right hand quickly grabbed the sword. Without saying a word, she chopped down on the ape¡¯s head! Between Zhang Wanqing and the mountain-moving ape, two thick and sturdy arms stretched and burst with a dazzling arc of light. It was not a divine ability, nor was it a magical technique. It was simply a tactic with the word ¡®fast¡¯! The mountain-moving ape had no intention of dodging. It simply lightly stomped its foot. The ground rippled. In the next instant, Zhang Wanqing¡¯s body tensed, and her killing intent became even stronger. With just one round, she was clear of the current situation. She was completely no match for this demonic beast. Zhang Wanqing glanced in the direction where Lin Feng was retreating and gripped the sword in her hand tightly. Even if she knew that she was no match for it, she had to stall for more time for her senior brother to retreat. Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated and once again raised her sword to attack the ape. The physical bodies of demonic beasts were born to be stronger than that of the cultivators¡¯, not to mention that the mountain-moving ape before Zhang Wanqing was also a whole realm higher than her. Even though Zhang Wanqing was a sword cultivator with extraordinary talent, it was normal for her to be at a disadvantage in the battle against the mountain-moving ape that was stronger than her. When Lin Feng led his disciples to escape, he was well aware that his junior sister was no match for the mountain-moving ape. Therefore, he was currently on his way back, thinking of rushing back to rescue her as soon as possible. Zhang Wanqing had used her sword to attack in the beginning, but this sword had long been broken by the mountain-moving ape. Now, she could only rely on her natal flying sword to barely hold on. The gap in realm was not something that could be easily made up for. Even though she had used all her methods, it was still apparent that she was losing. Even cracks had appeared on her natal flying sword. The natal flying sword of a sword cultivator was closely related to the person. If the natal flying sword was destroyed, the sword cultivator would be deeply affected. At this moment, Zhang Wanqing¡¯s cold face was already stained with a touch of red, and there was even a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. This appearance made her look somewhat enchanting. Zhang Wanqing who was in a bitter battle with the ape was still clenching her teeth and holding on. She was only trying to buy time for her senior brother to escape. However, she had never expected that the mountain-moving ape¡¯s strength would be so terrifying. After just a few exchanges, she was only left with her natal flying sword that was about to shatter. Lin Feng led his disciples to retreat. He was also burning with anxiety, afraid that his junior sister would not be able to hold on for long. ¡°Nan Mending, lead your junior brothers to escape outwards. I¡¯m going back to help the chief lawyer.¡± They stopped on a low slope. Not far away from here was the outskirts of the forest. The trees were visibly thinning. ¡°Sect master¡­¡± Nan Mending wanted to say something, but Lin Feng had already turned around and left, not giving him a chance to speak. Without the few burdens, the time Lin Feng took to return to the battlefield was extremely short. The moment he could see the situation on the battlefield within his line of sight, Lin Feng noticed the natal flying sword in Zhang Wanqing¡¯s hand was already filled with cracks. It was apparent she was heavily injured. At this moment, the mountain-moving ape had raised its arms high and was about to smash them down on Zhang Wanqing. If it succeeded, Lin Feng knew that he would no longer have a junior sister. At this critical moment, Lin Feng did not stop. A flash of cold light that accompanied an incomparably sharp sword light instantly pierced through the mountain-moving ape¡¯s arm that was about to fall. ¡°Roar¡­¡± The mountain-moving ape felt the pain and roared. It jumped a few steps back and distanced itself from Zhang Wanqing.. Chapter 15 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The sword light that shot out from the forest directly pierced through the mountain-moving ape¡¯s arm. Zhang Wanqing had survived death. She could not avoid the mountain-moving ape¡¯s attack just now and was thinking that this was the end. She did not expect a turn in the situation and she had now escaped doom. Taking advantage of the mountain-moving ape¡¯s injury, Zhang Wanqing quickly distanced herself from it. She was usually expressionless and cold-faced, but at this moment, she looked very relaxed. ¡°Senior brother!¡± After Lin Feng forced the mountain-moving ape back with one sword strike, he did not rush to chase after it. Instead, he rushed to his junior sister¡¯s side to check on her injuries. ¡°Junior sister, how are you? Are you alright?¡± As he got closer, he could see Zhang Wanqing¡¯s current condition clearly. The cracks on her natal flying sword were very deep, and it would take a long time to completely repair them. As for whether there would be any sequelae, Lin Feng did not dare to be sure. Looking at the bloodstain at the corner of his junior sister¡¯s mouth, Lin Feng was furious. He stood in front of her and completely blocked the mountain-moving ape¡¯s stare at his junior sister. ¡°Junior sister, go find Nan Mending and the others first. Take good care of them. Leave this to me, I¡¯ll catch up with you soon.¡± Zhang Wanqing had wanted to explain, but Lin Feng spoke first. He was filled with anger, but he still looked indifferent as he stared at the mountain-moving ape. He did not notice the strangeness of the junior sister behind him. Zhang Wanqing stared at her senior brother¡¯s thin but sturdy back for a while. Her heart was filled with gratitude and a sense of security. She knew that she would only be a burden if she stayed here, so she might as well leave first. ¡°Senior brother, you must be careful. This beast is very strong!¡± Zhang Wanqing reminded worriedly as she turned around and left the battlefield. Perhaps it was Lin Feng¡¯s indifference that gave her a sense of security, but Zhang Wanqing was full of confidence in her senior brother. She firmly believed that he would be able to defeat that mountain-moving ape. As such, even though she was very worried about her senior brother¡¯s safety, she still turned around and left decisively. Just as Zhang Wanqing left, the mountain-moving ape across from them finally realized that the two weak humans were trying to escape. ¡°Roar¡­¡± With a furious roar, the mountain-moving ape had decided that the woman it had been beating and the man who had injured all deserved to die. They were the ones who had killed its wife! The mountain-moving ape raised its arms high and prepared to charge past Lin Feng towards Zhang Wanqing. It intended to kill the weak woman first. Following this action, fresh blood gushed out from its arm that had been pierced just now. Pain and anger were gradually eroding its rationality. The mountain-moving ape that had entered a state of fury charged towards Lin Feng and Zhang Wanqing with all its might. Zhang Wanqing glanced at Lin Feng with worry. Seeing that he was still as indifferent as before, she felt a little more at ease and did not stay any longer. Lin Feng held his natal flying sword. With his advantage in agility, he blocked every attack from the mountain-moving ape. Every attack from the Sparrow in a Cage was able to produce many wounds on the mountain-moving ape¡¯s strong and tough body. As the number of exchanges between the two sides increased, the number of wounds on the mountain-moving ape¡¯s body also increased. Lin Feng gradually gained the upper hand in the battle. However, if a demonic beast at the Black Core Realm could be killed so easily, that would be underestimating them too much. As time passed, the mountain-moving ape had tried all sorts of methods, but it was still unable to deal any effective damage to Lin Feng. It finally calmed down. After exchanging a few rounds with Lin Feng, the ape realized that although the little bug in front of it was in a lower cultivation realm than itself, Lin Feng had strong lethality and was extremely difficult to kill. In the beginning, its arm had been pierced. Although the bleeding had stopped, many new wounds had been produced one after another during the battle. Even with the strong body of the mountain-moving ape, which it was proud of, it could not hold on any longer. As the battle dragged on, its situation became more and more dangerous. At this point, let alone taking revenge, it could not even preserve its own life. The mountain-moving ape realized that it was in a life-and-death crisis. Just as Lin Feng was wondering why the mountain-moving ape had stopped attacking, a bloody mist rose from the mountain-moving ape¡¯s body. Lin Feng instantly came to his senses. The ape was burning its blood essence to forcefully increase its strength. Rather than being nervous, he was more curious. The bloody mist around the mountain-moving ape became thicker and thicker. Lin Feng could no longer see what the giant ape that was in the center of the bloody mist looked like. He could feel that there was a powerful force brewing and awakening in the bloody mist. The mountain-moving ape was originally only at the beginner stage of the Black Core Realm. After it burnt its blood essence, it had at least the power of the advanced stage of the Black Core Realm. Lin Feng could feel the threat and his expression became more solemn. The difference between the two was already a whole realm. Now that the mountain-moving ape had even burnt its blood essence, the situation was gradually reversed. Thus, Lin Feng no longer hesitated and used the divine ability of the Sparrow in a Cage. The moment he communicated with the Sparrow in aa Cage, a sentence suddenly rang in his mind. ¡°The Heavenly Dao has collapsed. Only one sword can move mountains, cut rivers, overturn seas, subdue demons, suppress devils, pluck stars, destroy cities, and split the sky!¡± After being stunned for a moment, Lin Feng seemed to have understood something. This was the first time he had used the Sparrow in a Cage against an enemy, and it allowed him to have a deeper understanding of his natal flying sword. Before the mountain-moving ape had completely absorbed the bloody mist, it had already been imprisoned into the small world formed by the Sparrow in Cage itself. Just like a bird cage, in this small world, whatever Lin Feng willed would happen. Anyone or anything would be like a fish under the knife if Lin Feng wished for it, ready to be slaughtered by him. The bird cage had been formed, and the mountain-moving ape had become a caged sparrow. Lin Feng was not in a hurry to attack, but waited patiently for it to finish absorbing the bloody mist. Up until now, he did not have a very clear understanding of his strength as he had gone from being a Qi cultivator to a sword cultivator within a short period. Thus, he was looking forward to a good battle. The demonic beast in front of him that had burned its blood essence and was a whole realm higher than him was the most suitable opponent. Not long after, the mountain-moving ape had completely absorbed the bloody mist around it, looking even more ferocious. As soon as the Sparrow in a Cage had made its move, the ape had sensed it. However, in its understanding, since it had already burned its blood essence, no matter what Lin Feng did, it would be in vain. Even though the mountain-moving ape was extremely confident in its current strength, it was still much more cautious in the face of an unfamiliar environment. The moment Lin Feng revealed himself in the cage, the mountain-moving ape was keenly aware of it. Without a moment of hesitation, it attacked him like a madman. The world in the cage changed according to Lin Feng¡¯s wishes. The Qi of the sword that was freely wandering in the small world instantly transformed into countless cold, sharp longswords. The tip of the swords was pointed in the same direction ¡ª towards the mountain-moving ape. With a thought from Lin Feng, the countless longswords instantly attacked. The mountain-moving ape, that had made a move first, was now blocked by the longswords formed by the Qi of the swords before it could even get close. It was the first time Lin Feng had witnessed the way the Sparrow in a Cage dealt with its enemy, and he was equally shocked. Within the cage, the Sparrow in a Cage was like a deity, killing the enemy with such ease as if it was cutting fruits and vegetables.. Chapter 16 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The moment the mountain-moving ape was pulled into the cage, its death was destined. Countless sharp swords formed from sword qi surrounded the mountain-moving ape, leaving it with nowhere to hide. No matter which direction it attempted to attack, it would be blocked by the sword qi in the end. It had to keep defending and dodging, so it was unable to get even half a step closer to Lin Feng. In this small space, the mountain-moving ape that was at the advanced stage of the Black Core Realm was being played around by Lin Feng. Its old wounds had yet to heal, and new ones were being added to them. Even for the mountain-moving ape that had increased its strength by burning its blood essence, all this was still too much to take. The mountain-moving ape, which was standing not far away from Lin Feng, was covered in blood and was on the verge of collapse. Above its head, countless sharp swords formed from sword qi hung in the air. As long as Lin Feng willed, they could end its life at any time. Putting aside the matter that Lin Feng¡¯s battle seemed to be thrilling but was actually extremely easy, Nan Mending had been following the sect master¡¯s orders in leading his four junior brothers out of the forest. However, Dongfang Yuanzhong, who was the youngest, found such actions hard to accept. If the Green Sky Sect lost its sect master and chief lawyer, no one would be able to support the entire sect. In the end, they would only be disbanded. With ease, Yuanzhong convinced the others. As a result, Nan Mending and his junior brothers turned to head back to where they had met the mountain-moving ape. On the way back, they happened to meet Zhang Wanqing who had just run out. Nan Mending looked at his senior sister who was heavily injured and looked weak. He was very anxious. ¡°Senior sister, why are you so heavily injured? Where is the sect master?¡± The moment he saw Zhang Wanqing, Nan Mending hurriedly went up to her and asked about her injuries. ¡°Senior brother is facing the mountain-moving ape alone. He is still there,¡± The weakness in Zhang Wanqing¡¯s voice made the five of them feel nervous. After all, their senior sister who was the chief lawyer had always upheld an omnipotent and powerful image in the sect. She had never shown her weakness in front of others. Looking at the weak Zhang Wanqing, the five of them blamed themselves. If they were stronger, the sect master wouldn¡¯t have needed to help them escape just now. ¡°It¡¯s fine. All these injuries will heal with some rest after we get back. Speaking of which, why did the lot of you come back?¡± Zhang Wanqing could sense the guilt in the disciples¡¯ hearts, so she comforted them. ¡°Senior sister, we don¡¯t want to run away like this. If something happens to you and the sect master, the Green Sky Sect will be finished. Even if we have to sacrifice ourselves, we should be the ones buying time for you,¡± Although Yuanzhong was young, his thoughts were very clear. Seeing that he spoke with conviction, Zhang Wanqing was at a loss for words for a moment. In the end, Zhang Wanqing couldn¡¯t persuade the disciples to change their minds. The six of them returned to the battlefield once again. However, the situation on the battlefield made them confused. Lin Feng and the mountain-moving ape who were supposed to be fighting here were nowhere in sight. Only the corpse of the demonic beast at the Origin Building Realm was left on the ground. ¡°Senior sister, what should we do now¡­¡± Nan Mending was worried and asked anxiously. Before Zhang Wanqing could answer, a change suddenly occurred. Lin Feng, who was also in the cage, pulled a corner of the small world apart and walked out. With his appearance, the scene on the battlefield gradually returned to its original appearance. When the mountain-moving ape appeared in front of everyone in one piece, its bloody appearance was in stark contrast to Lin Feng¡¯s fluttering clothes. The mountain-moving ape realized that it had returned to the familiar forest. It took a glance at the corpse of the demonic beast that was still lying on the ground, and the last shred of spirit in its eyes was completely extinguished. Its robust demonic body fell to the ground with a loud bang, and its breathing stopped. Seeing this scene, the five disciples sucked in a breath of cold air at the same time. Even Zhang Wanqing was rather shocked. If she had known that her senior brother¡¯s combat strength was off the charts, she would have just let him stay behind to deal with the mountain-moving ape. How would she try to show off? Lin Feng¡¯s expression was indifferent, as if he had done something insignificant and didn¡¯t take this matter to heart. He cast his gaze on his junior sister and disciples. He wasn¡¯t surprised to see that they had returned. ¡°Come on and collect the spoils of war. This is a true demonic beast at the Black Core Realm, its entire body is full of treasures,¡± Lin Feng smiled and looked at his disciples as he said this. He moved and leisurely walked towards the few of them. Behind him were the corpses of two demonic beasts and a large piece of land that had been dyed red and brown by the demonic beast¡¯s blood. After being reminded by the sect master, Nan Mending and the others finally came to their senses and quickly went forward to pack up their spoils of war. Zhang Wanqing looked at her senior brother in disbelief. She had fought with this mountain-moving ape just a few minutes ago, so she naturally knew how powerful this demonic beast was. Before she left, the mountain-moving ape was already in a state of rage. To think her senior brother had killed such a powerful demonic beast with such ease, just how powerful was he now? However, the shock in Zhang Wanqing¡¯s heart could not be spoken nor shared with anyone. While waiting for the disciples to pick up the spoils of war, Lin Feng finally had the time to carefully examine Zhang Wanqing¡¯s injuries. After confirming that his junior sister¡¯s injuries were still acceptable and would only need some time to heal after going back, he finally felt at ease. ¡°Let¡¯s go after you¡¯re done. There are no more demonic beasts around. Let¡¯s go back and hand in the mission.¡± After Lin Feng finished saying this, he led his disciples out of the forest and headed back to Qingyan Village. When the group returned to Qingyan Village, it had only been a few hours since they had left the village. When some villagers saw that they had returned so quickly, they guessed that they had failed as well. The five people from the East Sun Sect hadn¡¯t left either. Seeing that Lin Feng and the others had returned in such a short time, they thought that Lin Feng and his group couldn¡¯t have completed the mission so quickly, so they mocked them. ¡°Look, aren¡¯t these the celestials who said with such confidence that they would go up the mountain to deal with the demonic beast?¡± ¡°Why are you back so soon? Could it be that you couldn¡¯t even defeat the demonic beasts in the periphery and had to flee back?¡± ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t we all know the strength of the Green Sky Sect? What kind of experts are you pretending to be? Didn¡¯t you still have to escape back here?¡± The people of the East Sun Sect didn¡¯t give Lin Feng and the others a chance to speak. They continued to ridicule them. Lin Feng¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change when he heard their words. He was still indifferent as ever. However, the disciples behind him instantly became angry. Initially, they didn¡¯t know that their sect master was so powerful. Now that they knew, they naturally wouldn¡¯t allow the people of the East Sun Sect to ridicule him like this. ¡°Open your stupid eyes and take a good look. What is this?¡± Nan Mending took out the head of the mountain-moving ape from his storage ring. He placed it in front of everyone, especially for the disciples of the East Sun Sect to see. When the five disciples of the East Sun Sect saw the head of the mountain-moving ape, they were completely stunned. Even if they didn¡¯t want to admit it, the aura of the Black Core Realm was still lingering on the head. The people from the East Sun Sect weren¡¯t the only ones who were shocked. The village chief, who had been watching from the side, was also very surprised. The head Nan Mending had just taken out couldn¡¯t be faked. When the village chief returned to his senses, he thanked Lin Feng excitedly. ¡°Celestial, thank you so much. If it wasn¡¯t for your help, our village would have suffered a lot from this beast¡­¡± As he said these words of gratitude, the village chief glanced secretly at the people of the East Sun Sect. Lin Feng found this very interesting. The saying that the older one was the more clever one would be was indeed true. This village chief was quite a smart person. Thanks to the head of the demonic beast, the attitude of the village chief and the villagers toward Lin Feng and the others had taken a hundred and eighty degrees change. Lin Feng felt that this was a good opportunity to improve the reputation of the Green Sky Sect. Therefore, he patiently chatted with the village chief and constantly indoctrinated him with information on how good the Green Sky Sect was.. Chapter 17 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After Lin Feng told the village chief about all the good things regarding the Green Sky Sect, he left Qingyan Village with his disciples. As for what the disciples of the East Sun Sect were thinking or planning, he didn¡¯t care. For them to have entered, left, and was now entering Longyan County again in one day, the gatekeep Suo Tian found it very strange. Lin Feng couldn¡¯t be bothered to explain. Right now, he only wanted to submit the mission as soon as possible, get the three materials that they had agreed on, and then rush back to the Green Sky Sect as soon as possible to finish the second stage of refining the Jade Heavenly Long Sword. When the group returned to Longyan County, it was already evening. Having just experienced the battle with demonic beasts, the blood qi on them was very heavy, which caused the passers-by to look at them with surprise. Although they were curious, they didn¡¯t dare to go up and chat with them. Lin Feng didn¡¯t care about the gazes of these people. He led his disciples and his junior sister directly to the Longying Pavilion. The seven of them were here at the Longying Pavilion for the second time in one day. The person serving them was still Yisan. Yisan greeted them with a smile just like how he did a few hours ago. He greeted them warmly and asked, ¡°My Lords, did you encounter any difficulties? Or do you need to change your mission?¡± Yisan¡¯s question surprised Lin Feng and the others. They had not said anything yet, so how did he know that they were back to change their mission? ¡°Why would you ask that? We have just entered the door, and we haven¡¯t said anything yet,¡± Lin Feng asked curiously. Yisan looked at their puzzled expressions, chuckled, and replied, ¡°I don¡¯t mean anything by it. It¡¯s just that before you have accepted this mission, such a thing has happened many times before.¡± As he said this, Yisan couldn¡¯t help but sigh and continue to explain, ¡°The mission of Qingyan Village has been issued by the Longying Pavilion for a very long time, but it has never been resolved. The Imperial Court doesn¡¯t have a choice either, with the recent surge of missions related to demonic beasts, all the manpower that can be sent out has already been sent out. The mission of Qingyan Village can be considered to be quite difficult in Longyan County¡¯s Longying Pavilion Branch. As the rewards are quite generous, many sects have attempted to resolve it. However, they have found it hard to complete, and in the end, they would either come back to cancel or change their missions¡­¡± After listening to B3¡¯s explanation, Lin Feng nodded to show that he understood. Only now did he know why the mission rewards for the mission of Qingyan Village were so generous. Then he thought of the two demonic beast corpses in their storage ring. One was at the Origin Building Realm and the other at the Black Core Realm. Lin Feng could also understand why this mission hadn¡¯t been solved. Lin Feng had no interest in teasing people, and he had only asked Yisan the question out of curiosity. After getting the answer, he gestured to Nan Mending to take out the head of the demonic beast from his storage ring. When the head of the demonic beast at the Origin Building Realm was taken out, Yisan was already very surprised. When he saw that Nan Mending didn¡¯t stop there and proceeded to take out the head of the mountain-moving ape, Yisan¡¯s face was written with shock. He never thought that the Green Sky Sect, which was already in dire straits, would have the ability to complete the most difficult mission in Longyan County. What surprised him even more was that not only had the Green Sky Sect completed the mission, but they had even exceeded the requirements. The mountain-moving ape at the Black Core Realm was a powerful existence that even the Imperial Court had a headache over. As the heads of the two demonic beasts were taken out, the attention of everyone in the Longying Pavilion, regardless of whether they were here to hand in their mission or to accept missions, was all attracted over. Yisan was so shocked that he had been immersed in his shock for quite some time. Lin Feng couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Yisan, are we considered to have completed the mission?¡± ¡°Yes, of course! Of course! My Lords, not only have you completed the mission, but you have also exceeded the requirements. Your achievements are far beyond completing the mission itself,¡± Yisan came back to his senses from the shock. Not only was he not angry, but he even responded to Lin Feng¡¯s question excitedly. The disciples of the other sects and the staff of the Longying Pavilion were all staring at the group of people from the Green Sky Sect curiously. From the conversation Yisan had with these people, everyone knew that the disciples of this sect had solved the most difficult mission in Longyan County. Moreover, from what Yisan had just said, this group of people had completed more than required. This made the disciples of the other sects very curious. They wondered which big sect did Lin Feng and the others belong to and how could they be so powerful. Lin Feng didn¡¯t care about the gazes and curiosity of these people. What he cared about the most was when the rewards for completing the mission would be given to them. ¡°Then the materials that I want¡­¡± Lin Feng reminded Yisan again. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, sir. I will go and prepare them now. Please rest for a while.¡± Yisan quickly went to prepare the materials that Lin Feng needed. He had just taken two steps when he turned around and asked again, ¡°By the way, sir, other than the Nephrite, Golden Thunder Bamboo, and Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron that you mentioned, is there anything else that you need? Because you have completed the mission in excess, I can make the decision to choose an additional material for you.¡± Lin Feng thought for a moment. It would be best if he could get all the materials in one go. Thus, he requested the last material that he lacked, the Azure Sky Stone. When Yisan heard that the fourth material that Lin Feng wanted was something so ordinary, he instantly grew more fond of him. They didn¡¯t wait long. Before Yisan came back with the materials they needed, Lin Feng had already asked Nan Mending to put away the demonic beasts¡¯ heads that were on the ground. After receiving the storage ring containing the rewards from Yisan, Lin Feng thanked him and left the Longying Pavilion with his disciples under the envious gazes of the crowd, returning to the Green Sky Sect without stopping along the way. He couldn¡¯t wait to complete the second stage of forging of the Jade Heavenly Long Sword. Lin Feng and his group were rushing back to the Green Sky Sect. On the other side, at the spirit stone mines under the jurisdiction of the Green Sky Sect. The disciple who had been seriously injured in the battle with the East Sun Sect, Xiaowu, was a close friend of Ming Yuxuan¡¯s. After being injured, he had been sent back to the Green Sky Sect for treatment and had informed the sect of the robbing actions done by the East Sun Sect. Just as his injuries had slightly improved, Lin Feng had coincidentally completed the first stage of forging the Jade Heavenly Long Sword. Xiaowu had benefitted from that too, but due to his ordinary talent, even though he had comprehended the sword intent, his strength couldn¡¯t compare to the more talented Ming Yuxuan. However, thanks to the effect of the wonder, Xiaowu¡¯s injuries had completely recovered. After recovering from his injuries, he chose to return to the spirit stone mine again. After all, his mission in guarding the spirit stone mine wasn¡¯t over yet. Besides, the sect master and the senior sister who acted as the chief lawyer had brought the strongest senior brothers down the mountain for adventure. Among the younger generation, he was the strongest. The last battle with the East Sun Sect was rooted in this spirit stone mine. After the battle ended, the East Sun Sect had failed to achieve their goal. Since that was the case, they would not give up easily and would make a comeback at any time. It was far from enough to rely on a few outer sect disciples with shallow cultivation bases to guard the place. As such, the task of protecting the largest spirit stone mine under the Green Sky Sect¡¯s possession could only fall to him. However, at this moment, a few East Sun Sect disciples were approaching the spirit stone mine that Xiaowu was guarding.. Chapter 18 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Tianlu mountain was located north of the Green Sky Sect, not far from the center of the sect. The disciples of the Green Sky Sect had always called it the Northern Mountain. There was a large spirit stone mine under the mountain. It was not an exaggeration to say that this was the foundation of the Green Sky Sect. Ever since the Green Sky Sect had settled down in the Green Sky Mountain range, the spirit stone mine in the Northern Mountain had always been firmly in the hands of the Green Sky Sect. Even when the Green Sky Sect had fallen so far, they still wouldn¡¯t easily hand over the ownership. As for the East Sun Sect, it was only a young sect in Longyan County. However, due to their extremely overbearing style of doing things, they had once beaten all of the older sects in Longyan County. Previously, the Green Sky Sect was the number one sect in Longyan County. Under the deliberate suppression of the East Sun Sect, there were now less than two hundred disciples with mediocre cultivation talent within the sect. Not to mention the huge family business of the Green Sky Sect that had been nibbled away by the East Sun Sect. After so many years, there was not much of anything left. Now, all the cultivators in Longyan County knew that the East Sun Sect was about to be promoted to become a sixth rank sect. However, the sect was still short of land. As long as the East Sun Sect could completely occupy the Northern Mountain area of the Green Sky Sect before the inspection of the cultivation officials three months later, the promotion would be definite. This was also the reason why the East Sun Sect members had been coming to the Green Sky Sect to provoke them recently. Xiaowu whose full name was Wu Mingyu had joined the Green Sky Sect at the same time as Ming Yuxuan. However, due to the great difference in their talent, Ming Yuxuan had long been promoted to the inner sect while Xiaowu had only joined the inner sect a few years ago. Originally, Xiaowu had thought that he would at most be able to reach the Black Core Realm before his death. He never expected that the sect master would refine a magical treasure called Wonder that had the effect of increasing the sect disciples¡¯ talent in Sword Dap. Even if his talent was average, he was also blessed by fate. Not only did he successfully comprehend the complete sword intent, but his realm had also risen to the advanced stage of the Condensing Reality Realm. If he added in the ability he had as a sword cultivator, even if his opponent was at the beginning stage of the Origin Building Realm, he believed that he could fight against the opponent. Xiaowu sat on the small hill opposite the mine, watching the outer sect disciples carry out baskets of newly mined spirit stones. He sighed in amazement at the sect master¡¯s strength while still being vigilant of the situation around him. The five people from the East Sun Sect appeared above the spirit stone mine without hiding their tracks. With one look, it was obvious that this group of people couldn¡¯t hold themselves back and came looking for trouble again. The leader of the team this time was the same disciple who had led the team last time, and it was also the same disciple who had injured Xiaowu severely with a sneak attack. Both parties were enemies, and their eyes were red with hate the moment they saw each other. ¡°Why is it still the defeated dog guarding the mine? Is there no one left in the Green Sky Sect?¡± ¡°Senior brother, do you think such a short time is enough for this defeated dog to recover from his injuries?¡± ¡°Hmm? Wasn¡¯t our lesson for you enough last time? Are you still rushing to the Northern Mountain to look for a beating?¡± ¡­ The people of the East Sun Sect had always liked to make the enemy¡¯s hatred for them grow before a fight. It seemed that if they ¡°won¡± with words, winning with their fists would be easier too. ¡°If senior sister hadn¡¯t shown mercy last time, did you think you could have made it back alive?¡± Wu Mingyu was a little angry after being ridiculed. It was true that he had embarrassed the sect last time. If the senior sister who was the chief lawyer hadn¡¯t come in time and intimidated the people of the East Sun Sect, they would have succeeded last time. There were still many outer sect disciples in the mine behind him. He couldn¡¯t give the people of the East Sun Sect a chance. He had to end the battle quickly. As soon as he finished saying that, Xiaowu didn¡¯t give the other party a chance to speak. He drew his sword and attacked. Holding the hilt of his sword with his right hand, Xiaowu softly said, ¡°The sword¡¯s name is Pine.¡± He drew his sword and simply slashed The sword Qi attacked the five people of the East Sun Sect. The people from the East Sun Sect didn¡¯t expect that Xiaowu would suddenly attack with a sword. The sword Qi was directed at all five. After blocking the sword Qi in a fluster, the five people from the East Sun Sect looked at Xiaowu again with fear in their eyes. The leader of the group had the highest cultivation at the beginning stage of the Origin Building Realm. He quickly regained his composure and sneered, ¡°A sword, sword intent, and sword Qi. All that¡¯s missing is the natal flying sword. Each is better than the last, what an outstanding sword cultivator.¡± Xiaowu¡¯s expression remained serious. He did not say anything. Instead, he focused on accumulating his power, then he slashed horizontally. The sword light spread out in the air like a sparkling water surface. The expressions of the five people from the East Sun Sect changed drastically. This was another attack that was directed at all five of them. Just as they were about to dodge, they found that they had been nailed to the ground by a wave of sword intent. The green sword had unknowingly been hanging three feet above the head of the person in the lead. The young sword cultivator was expressionless. Xiaowu reached out and made a gesture as if he was grabbing the hilt of the sword, controlling his sword from a distance. Between the two of them, a small and cute mountain range appeared in the air. The young sword cultivator had only attacked twice, one a vertical slash and the other horizontal. It was just two strikes, yet one cut off the path of the five people to dodge, while the other was aimed at the strongest person¡¯s vital point. However, there was not much sword intent left after the two strikes, so Xiaowu did not continue to attack relentlessly. On the ground around both parties, a long crack appeared in front of everyone¡¯s eyes. This scene completely shocked the five disciples from the East Sun Sect who had come to provoke. The outer sect disciples in the mine behind them were moved. No wonder it was said that of the cultivators in the world, the sword cultivators had the most unrestrained temperament, the greatest killing power, and were the most unreasonable. It was a pity that their cultivation aptitude was average, and they were not suited for the path of a sword cultivator. Although there were some regrets, a disciple with a firm heart soon said confidently, ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it only make it better if we can rely on the Heavenly Technique to defeat sword cultivators with such godly sword techniques in the future?¡± However, this disciple knew very well that his senior brother in front of him would most likely not give them a chance to surpass him. If it was said that the pure martial artists other than the Qi cultivators had always been considered lowly in comparison with the Qi cultivators, then the sword cultivators among the Qi cultivators had always been more respected than the ordinary Qi cultivators. The reason was simple. No one was willing to fight with a high-achieving sword cultivator who had extremely high lethality. The emerald green flying sword circled around the five people, and when it found an opportunity, it stabbed. In less than ten minutes, a few weak pleas came from the battlefield filled with sword Qi. ¡°Please¡­ Spare us!¡± Hearing the pleas, Xiaowu did not continue to attack. He controlled his sword to stop attacking. The sword Qi gradually calmed down. Among the five disciples of the East Sun Sect, except for the leader who was in the beginning stage of the Origin Building Realm, the others were all in the advanced stage of the Condensing Reality Realm like Xiaowu. After being locked on by his sword intent, the five of them could not escape at all. They could only defend with all their might. Even so, they were now covered in wounds. Streaks of blood stained the robes on their bodies red, and they looked extremely miserable. When the people of the East Sun Sect sensed that the flying sword that had been continuously cutting their flesh from just now had finally stopped, they couldn¡¯t help but reveal a relaxed expression as if they had survived a disaster. The leader five-men group of the East Sun Sect, to whom Xiaowu had given special treatment, was the one with the heaviest injuries. Two of his junior brothers supported him, each on one side. He looked at Xiaowu, who had put away his sword, with a face full of fear. They didn¡¯t expect that the person who had been wounded so easily last time would improve so quickly in such a short period! Moreover, he had become a sword cultivator, a sword cultivator who had comprehended the complete sword intent! ¡°Get lost. Don¡¯t ever have any thoughts about the Green Sky Sect again. Otherwise, you won¡¯t be able to return to the East Sun Sect alive next time,¡± Xiaowu put away his sword and said coldly to the people in front of him. ¡°Besides, the spirit stone mine of Tianlu Mountain belongs to the Green Sky Sect. The East Sun Sect has no right over it whatsoever! Get lost!¡± Hearing the last sentence, the people of the East Sun Sect felt as if they had been pardoned. They didn¡¯t dare to retort as they supported each other and turned around to run away. Seeing the five people running away, Xiaowu let out a sigh of relief. His hand that was holding his sword was trembling slightly. At the foot of the East Sun Sect¡¯s mountain, there were five miserable-looking disciples. They were the ones who had just returned from the Green Sky Sect. After climbing up the mountain, they went straight to the grand elder of the East Sun Sect and told him what they had experienced in the Green Sky Sect. After hearing the stories of these disciples, the grand elder flew into a rage. However, he couldn¡¯t help but feel puzzled. The Green Sky Sect had been suppressed by the East Sun Sect for many years and was in a dire state now. How could they still nurture such a powerful sword cultivator disciple? On top of that, no news of the disciple had spread yet. The Green Sky Sect had been in the last ranks of all the sects in Longyan County for hundreds of years, and no talented disciple would choose to join them. Where did this sword cultivator disciple come from? The East Sun Sect knew all about the powerful disciples of the Green Sky Sect, and they had never heard of the sword cultivator mentioned by the five disciples. Immediately after, the grand elder seemed to have had an idea. Since the Green Sky Sect dared to severely injure the disciples of the East Sun Sect, wasn¡¯t this the best opportunity to attack that kid? No matter where that sword cultivator was from, he was just one person, so there was nothing to be afraid of! Thinking of this, the great elder felt that this was the best opportunity for the East Sun Sect to attack the Green Sky Sect.. Chapter 19 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After listening to the five disciples¡¯ recount of the events, a plan hatched in the East Sun Sect¡¯s grand elder¡¯s mind. The grand elder ordered the five disciples to leave to heal their wounds. He wanted to choose some disciples to go to the Green Sky Sect with him. This time, he would completely remove the name of the Green Sky Sect from Longyan County! Seeing that their goal had been achieved, the five disciples left to rest while wearing weak expressions. As long as the grand elder believed their words and the sect was willing to punish the Green Sky Sect for this matter, they would be able to avenge them. On the way back to the sect just now, the five of them had already decided between themselves that if they didn¡¯t return the humiliation they had suffered today, they wouldn¡¯t let the matter rest. If anyone passed by, they would be able to see the vicious expressions on the five disciples¡¯ faces. ¡­ Lin Feng and the others had rushed back to the Green Sky Sect from Longyan County overnight. The eight materials needed for the second stage of forging the Jade Heavenly Long Sword were the Mirage Sea Crystal Soul, the Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron, the Azure Sky Stone, the Black Iron Concentrate Mine, the Red-Gold Copper Mine, the Dark Cloud Black Mine, the Nephrite and the Golden Thunder Bamboo. Besides the four materials that the sect already had in stock, the remaining four materials had been successfully obtained in one go because they had completed the Longyan Pavilion¡¯s mission. Furthermore, because Lin Feng had not been greedy when choosing the last material, Yisan was quite fond of him. The four materials in his storage ring were placed in piles. Even after completing the second stage of forging the Jade Heavenly Long Sword, there would still be quite a bit left. When Lin Feng saw the mountains of materials in the ring, he knew that Yisan had given him special treatment. The next time he had the time to accept a mission again, he had to properly thank him. Now that the materials were complete, all that was left was to return to the sect as soon as possible and complete the second stage of the Wonder. The first phase had greatly increased the overall strength of all the disciples of the Green Sky Sect as well as their potential. As a result, Lin Feng was full of anticipation for the completion of the second phase of the Jade Heavenly Long Sword. At that time, the strength of the entire sect would probably rise to a higher level. On the way back, to take care of the heavily injured Zhang Wanqing, Lin Feng brought her on his sword and flew her back to the sect. As for Nan Mending and the other four, they were still very excited. For them, this adventure was extremely perfect. Along the way, they excitedly discussed the two demonic beasts that had been eliminated. Other than the bountiful rewards from the mission, being in the Origin Building Realm and the Black Core Realm respectively, the bodies of the two demonic beasts were full of treasures, bringing them many gains. By bringing the corpses of these two demonic beasts back, it was enough for them to brag about it before their senior and junior brothers for a long time. The group of people rode their swords back as fast as they could. It was already late at night when they returned to the Green Sky Sect. However, for some unknown reason, other than the disciples on duty, the other disciples were all gathered in the main hall. After Lin Feng and Zhang Wanqing had brought the top five disciples of the sect down the mountain, the affairs of the sect were temporarily left to the two most senior disciples of the inner sect to take care of. The current situation seemed to indicate that something was wrong to the seven people who had just returned to the sect. ¡°What¡¯s going on? It¡¯s already the middle of the night, why aren¡¯t you resting yet?¡± Lin Feng¡¯s voice sounded from the entrance of the main hall, and the disciples¡¯ gazes fell on the group of people at the entrance. ¡°Sect master!?¡± ¡°Sect master! Senior sister! You guys are back so quickly! ?¡± ¡­ The disciples in the hall asked in surprise, one after another. ¡°Quiet down. Tell me what¡¯s going on. Why are you still having a meeting here in the middle of the night?¡± Lin Feng stood where the eldest disciple was originally standing, at the front, and asked about the current situation. ¡°Sect master, let Xiaowu tell you. It¡¯s the people from the East Sun Sect again.¡± With this, Xiaowu who had been pushed forward recounted the whole incident at the spirit stone mine again. Zhang Wanqing was so angry that she almost had a relapse after hearing what had happened. Lin Feng¡¯s expression was calm, and it was hard to tell whether he was angry. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. It doesn¡¯t matter if you¡¯ve injured them. If they dare to come to our door again, we¡¯ll just beat them up again. After all, they brought this upon themselves. To think they even have thoughts about the spirit stone mine in the Northern Mountian. It seems they want to cut off our last hope. It¡¯s already our greatest mercy to them for not killing them directly.¡± What happened in the Northern Mountain reminded him of the disciples of the East Sun Sect in Qingyan Village. If it weren¡¯t for the completion of the first phase of the Jade Heavenly Long Sword, which increased the strength of the disciples of the sect, the spirit stone mine in the Northern Mountain would have already changed owners after this attack. Lin Feng was already extremely disgusted with his neighbor, the East Sun Sect. The incident of them injuring the disciples of his sect wasn¡¯t over yet. If his junior sister hadn¡¯t arrived in time and intimidated the disciples of the East Sun Sect that day, many disciples would have died in the spirit stone mine. Lin Feng didn¡¯t expect that before the incident last time was even over, the East Sun Sect was already having thoughts about the Green Sky Sect¡¯s greatest possession again. ¡°Xiaowu, don¡¯t take it to heart. You did the right thing. You just did what you had to do. Don¡¯t worry about anything else. The Green Sky Sect will take care of everything.¡± Lin Feng still wore a calm expression on his face. He simply didn¡¯t think much of the East Sun Sect at all. If they dared to come, he was confident that he could make sure they wouldn¡¯t be able to return. Before Lin Feng and the others hadn¡¯t returned, the disciples of the Green Sky Sect had been quite flustered after hearing what Xiaowu had said. But now that Lin Feng, the sect master, was back, the backbone of the Green Sky Sect was also back. Seeing that the sect master didn¡¯t seem to think much about this matter at all made the disciples feel a lot more relaxed. The emergency meeting that had been held in the middle of the night ended just like that. ¡°Ritian and Liangchen, please stay behind,¡± Before everyone left the main hall, Lin Feng called out to the two inner disciples who had been temporarily managing the sect affairs while he was away. Back when Lin Feng first heard the name Su Ritian, he had been stunned for a moment. He never thought that there would actually be someone with this name. However, after getting to know him, he realized that Su Ritian was a person with a strong heart and a deep love for the sect. His cultivation talent was also relatively outstanding among his peers. Because Su Ritian had entered the sect quite early on, he was one of the few Qi cultivators in the Green Sky Sect who had reached the Origin Building Realm. Now, he had successfully become a sword cultivator who had comprehended the complete sword intent. Li Liangchen had joined the sect at the same time as Su Ritian. The two were from the same hometown. Although he seemed cold on the outside, he was warm on the inside, and he loved the sect very much. He also respected the sect master, Lin Feng, very much. Moreover, he was even more talented in the Sword Dao, and his talent was not inferior to that of his junior sister. Before the Wonder had been successfully forged, Li Liangchen had already nurtured the embryonic form of his natal flying sword. After being blessed by the Wonder¡¯s Sword Dao fate, he completed his natal flying sword. Lin Feng had only asked them to stay back because he wanted to know if anything else had happened while he was away from the sect. The next morning, after discussing for the night before, the East Sun Sect who was the offender came to complain instead. The outer sect disciples on guard at the mountain gates saw the grand elder of the East Sun Sect coming towards the inner sect of the Green Sky Sect on his sword, followed by many disciples wearing the robes of the East Sun Sect as well as many unaffiliated cultivators of the Longyan County. ¡°Sect master, sect master, it¡¯s bad!¡± When the outer sect disciples on duty saw the people of the East Sun Sect, they hurried up the mountain to report the news. It was obvious that the people of the East Sun Sect didn¡¯t come with good intentions. ¡°Speak slowly! What¡¯s bad?¡± Lin Feng¡¯s tone was moderate as if nothing could affect him. ¡°Sect Master, it¡¯s the people of the East Sun Sect¡­¡± Before the disciple could finish his words, a voice enhanced by spiritual energy came from the square, spreading throughout the entire Green Sky Sect. ¡°All the brats of the Green Sky Sect, come out now!¡± In the square of the Green Sky Sect¡¯s inner sect, a group of cultivators in the East Sun Sect robes were standing there with their heads held high. In the front was an old cultivator who looked quite divine. However, when the disciples of the Green Sky Sect saw the old cultivator, they recognized him as the grand elder of the East Sun Sect looked gentlemanly but was just a mean person. When Lin Feng heard the voice and arrived at the square, his junior sister and the other disciples had already arrived. Seeing Lin Feng, the old cultivator scolded him without giving him a chance to speak. ¡°You brat Lin Feng, you¡¯re performing too poorly in your job as the sect master of the Green Sky Sect! How could you allow your disciples to injure the disciples of the East Sun Sect for no reason? If it wasn¡¯t for their luck that they could escape back to the East Sun Sect and ask for help, no one would even know how they died! Do you know that there has never been a case of the disciples of a sect heavily injuring others for no reason in Longyan County? If you, the sect master, can¡¯t manage your disciples well, Longyan County will not tolerate a sect like the Green Sky Sect that doesn¡¯t abide by the rules!¡± The more the old cultivator said, the more excited he became. The disciples of the East Sun Sect behind him also shared the same hatred for the Green Sky Sect. As for the unaffiliated cultivators who were recruited to strengthen their power, they were all close to the East Sun Sect, so they naturally stood on their side and hated the Green Sky Sect as well. The disciples of the Green Sky Sect couldn¡¯t take it anymore. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the sect master hadn¡¯t given the order, they would have started fighting already. The old cultivator¡¯s words of inverting right from wrong were unbearable. Meanwhile, Lin Feng quietly listened to the old cultivator¡¯s accusations. Although he looked indifferent on the surface, his heart was already filled with the intention to kill.. Chapter 20 - Come to His Door to Force! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Following the old cultivator¡¯s accusation, the atmosphere in the square grew awkward. Although Lin Feng had the intention to kill, he didn¡¯t show it on his face. No one could tell what he was thinking. However, at this moment, Zhang Wanqing, who was standing not far away from Lin Feng, was wearing a terrifyingly cold expression. After listening to the words of the East Sun Sect¡¯s grand elder, she only wanted to vent the raging anger in her heart on the spot. ¡°Are only the disciples of the East Sun Sect human? You have the right to fight back after being beaten up, yet the disciples of the other sects deserve the beating?¡± Zhang Wanqing said sarcastically, ¡°When the disciples of the East Sun Sect wantonly injured the disciples of other sects, why didn¡¯t you come forward and teach those little ba*stards of the East Sun Sect a lesson then?¡± The disciples of the Green Sky Sect nodded repeatedly after hearing these words, indicating that their senior sister was right. However, the old cultivator merely smiled relaxedly as he said, ¡°The East Sun Sect has always been strict with our disciples. It¡¯s impossible for any of them to hurt anyone else by purpose. As for what you said, those are just friendly exchanges between the disciples of various sects. They¡¯re simply some harmless kids fooling around.¡± While saying that, he even rubbed his smooth chin a few times to show his fairness. Looking at the old cultivator¡¯s pretentious appearance, Lin Feng felt like he was seeing his superior in his previous life, who had the same double standards and sanctimonious appearance that made people nauseous. Seeing that Lin Feng, the sect master of the Green Sky Sect, still didn¡¯t show any reaction, the East Sun Sect¡¯s grand elder thought that the brat had been intimidated by his imposing manner and didn¡¯t dare to refute. Therefore, the expression on the grand elder¡¯s face that was initially full of condemnation towards the Green Sky Sect suddenly changed to one of pity. ¡°Since it was the disciple of the Green Sky Sect who injured one of us, then it¡¯s your fault. If you are willing to apologize, the East Sun Sect won¡¯t be unreasonable. We will forgive you,¡± After saying so much, he finally revealed his true intentions. The East Sun Sect had come to the Green Sky Sect to ask for treasures and money under the pretense of compensation, though he wondered what they wanted. Lin Feng understood. If it was the original Lin Feng, he would have no choice but to yield to the East Sun Sect¡¯s pressure. However, the current sect master of the Green Sky Sect was the modern Lin Feng. Moreover, with the blessing of the Cheat, the East Sun Sect would be nothing if the Green Sky Sect was given some time to develop. ¡°The East Sun Sect doesn¡¯t want much. We just want the spirit stone mine in the Northern Mountain and the whole area of the Northern Mountain as compensation. After all, the five injured disciples are all very talented. Since they have been seriously injured this time, there might be some sequelae. And now we¡¯re only asking you to compensate us with a mountain, it¡¯s not too much.¡± When the grand elder of the East Sun Sect mentioned the Northern Mountain, the disciples of the Green Sky Sect finally understood that they were here to cut off their last hope. They had already caused trouble in the Northern Mountain twice. Now that they had brought so many people this time, they were most probably trying to increase their success rates in snatching the territory from the Green Sky Sect once they refused their request for compensation. ¡°This is not a negotiation. After all, you are the ones at fault, and the compensation is not too expensive. If the Green Sky Sect is not willing to pay for this, then you can just wait and see if the entire Longyan County will tolerate you!¡± After the old cultivator finished speaking, he revealed a smug look. When one looked over again, he had put on a hypocritical look, as if he was doing this for the good of the Green Sky Sect. Lin Feng fell silent. He wasn¡¯t afraid, nor did he intend to compromise. He was only calculating how much of a blow would it be to the East Sun Sect if he killed all these people now? ¡°Brat Lin Feng, you have no choice at all. If you don¡¯t agree, you can only watch as the Green Sky Sect will be destroyed, and you won¡¯t even be able to maintain a trace of your orthodoxy.¡± As soon as the old cultivator finished speaking, Zhang Wanqing couldn¡¯t bear it any longer. As the sect master, it was normal for her senior brother to have some misgivings when doing things, but she didn¡¯t mind. Therefore, she attacked with anger, wanting to kill the grand elder of the East Sun Sect first. After being blessed by the Sword Dao fate of the Wonder, she had a deeper understanding of her Sword Dao. Even though she was currently still injured, the sword intent contained in her sword Qi was still strong enough to shock people. The old cultivator had been at the peak of the Origin Building Realm for many years. Due to his lack of talent and opportunities, he had not been able to break through to the Black Core Realm. However, everyone in Longyan County knew that although the grand elder of the East Sun Sect had not broken through, his battle strength was even stronger than an ordinary Black Core Realm cultivator in the beginner stage. Zhang Wanqing slashed horizontally with her sword. Her attack was only targeted one person. It seemed threatening, but due to the large gap between their realms, it did not affect the old cultivator at all. In that instant, a vacuum area appeared on the square, and within it, sword Qi flew everywhere. Zhang Wanqing¡¯s attacks all missed while the old cultivator was still looked relaxed and at ease. After a few exchanges, Zhang Wanqing stopped her attacks and stepped back to catch her breath. The fierce attack just now had ruptured her injuries again. The old cultivator took the opportunity to look at Lin Feng and said with a smile, ¡°It seems that the foundation of the Green Sky Sect that has existed for thousands of years is now going to be destroyed in your hands. You have such a big sect, yet you only have a female cultivator who can truly fight. Moreover, she is an injured disciple. Even if I let you live on, the result of your sect will only be destruction. Look behind me. Among the people I brought this time, there are three in the Origin Building Realm. Our sect is also full of powerful cultivators. There are as many disciples with potential as there are hairs on a cow.¡± Perhaps it was because he was getting old, but the old cultivator liked to go on and on and on. Now, he didn¡¯t even try to mask the expression on his face, it was full of mockery and pride. ¡°No matter what choice you make, the final result will be the same.¡± Lin Feng understood what the old cultivator meant. In the face of absolute strength, the Green Sky Sect and he had no choice at all. But was it really so that the Green Sky Sect didn¡¯t have the strength to resist? How could he, Lin Feng, be a chicken waiting to be slaughtered? Perhaps if it were Lin Feng in the past, the Green Sky Sect would be in a desperate situation right now. But now, it was hard to say whose desperate situation this would turn out to be. Lin Feng¡¯s expression was indifferent as he swept his gaze across the group of people from the East Sun Sect. With a glance, he had a general understanding of the strength of this group of people and immediately asked a question in return, ¡°You only brought this few people this time?¡± This was the first thing Lin Feng said since he had arrived at the square. Different from the relieved expressions of the disciples of the Green Sky Sect, the people of the East Sun Sect were stunned by his words. ¡°There¡¯s no need for too much of a force to deal with the Green Sky Sect. I¡¯m already flattering you with these people,¡± After being stunned for a while, the old cultivator said with a smile. At this moment, Lin Feng shook his head and smiled, ¡°In that case, let¡¯s send you guys on your way first.¡± As Lin Feng spoke, a supreme sword Qi shot out from his body instantly. Everyone was shocked by the sword intent contained in the sword Qi. For a moment, all of them were in a daze. When they came back to their senses again, the disciples of the Green Sky Sect on the square found that they had lost sight of the sect master and the people of the East Sun Sect. At this time, the people of the East Sun Sect were all in the small world of the Sparrow in a Cage.. Chapter 21 - Easy Kill, The True Lethality of the Sparrow in a Cage Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The surrounding environment had suddenly changed. The people of the East Sun Sect, led by their grand elder, were dumbfounded to find that they had disappeared from the Green Sky Sect¡¯s square and were now in an unfamiliar place. What was even more shocking to them was Lin Feng¡¯s methods. Even the experienced grand elder hadn¡¯t experienced such a thing before. The disciples of the East Sun Sect who had come to the Green Sky Sect this time all had some attainments in cultivation and had some strength. They had long sensed that something was wrong with this sudden change. The grand elder had the highest cultivation base, and thus he was even more aware than the other disciples and unaffiliated cultivators that they were currently in an independent small world. What surprised him the most was that this world could block all his senses. There wasn¡¯t a single mystic realm or small world in the entire Longyan County that could completely block all his senses. Since the Green Sky Sect had fallen to such a state, how could they have such an advanced mystic realm? Sharp sword Qi flowed everywhere in this small world that looked like a mystic realm, making people fearful. ¡°Grand elder, where are we now?¡± A disciple of the East Sun Sect asked carefully. The grand elder looked around and immersed himself in the sword Qi that were wandering in the air. ¡°Lin Feng should be a sword cultivator with a natal flying sword. This place is probably the ability of his natal flying sword,¡± The grand elder said in a deep voice with his brows knitted tightly. The disciples behind him were shocked when they heard the grand elder¡¯s words. They had never heard that the Green Sky Sect had another sword cultivator with a natal flying sword other than Zhang Wanqing. As for the abilities of sword cultivators, anyone who was a cultivator knew. The ability of sword cultivators to fight opponents above their realms was many times stronger than that of Qi cultivators. Not to mention that they were currently facing the sect master of the Green Sky Sect, a strong cultivator in the Origin Building Realm. Even if his strength was at the bottom among the sect masters, he was still a cultivator who had cultivated to the Origin Building Realm. Compared to the East Sun Sect cultivators who were mostly in the Condensing Reality Realm, Lin Feng could kill them as easily as chopping vegetables. Apart from the three Origin Building Realm cultivators and the grand elder of the East Sun Sect, the other disciples instantly became nervous, afraid that they would be the first to be slashed by Lin Feng. The fact that Lin Feng hadn¡¯t shown up yet added to their nervousness. ¡°Humph, he¡¯s just putting up a show, such a brat. How could he be a sword cultivator?¡± An elder of the East Sun Sect who was in the advanced stage of the Origin Building Realm said. He didn¡¯t believe the grand elder¡¯s deductions. If Lin Feng was a sword cultivator with a natal flying sword, the Green Sky Sect wouldn¡¯t have been forced into such a dire situation. While the people of the East Sun Sect were in a heated discussion, Lin Feng appeared in the small world of the Sparrow in a Cage. The minute he appeared in front of everyone, the elder of the East Sun Sect who had accused Lin Feng of merely putting on a show attacked without hesitation. Lin Feng held his sword horizontally in front of him steadily. He didn¡¯t panic at all when he saw the old cultivator suddenly attack. His hand was steady as he held his sword, and his heart was calm and steady. As a result, his aura and energy became even more stable. The grand elder of the East Sun Sect was shocked when he saw Lin Feng¡¯s posture and the aura he was emitting. If one hadn¡¯t seen it with one¡¯s eyes, no one would have thought that the sect master of the Green Sky Sect had hidden his true strength. To think he had been willing to endure the taunts of others for many years, and only at the last moment did he reveal his true strength. The elder of the East Sun sect who was the first to attack Lin Feng was also the first to feel the pressure brought by Lin Feng¡¯s aura, but he couldn¡¯t just stop now. After withstanding Lin Feng¡¯s attack, the elder¡¯s body trembled. He swayed a few times, stabilized himself, then charged forward again. In the next moment, Lin Feng appeared in front of the elder of the East Sun Sect in an even more ethereal way, exuding a mystical aura. His movements were calm and unhurried, and he put his skills to use to the maximum. However, he did not use all of his strength on this guy. The so-called sword art techniques were merely a few, they didn¡¯t vary too much from each other. Qi cultivators cultivated their Qi and cultivated them to be one with one¡¯s body. On the other hand, sword cultivators nurtured sword intents unique to themselves, some deep and some shallow, some high and some low. Controlling one¡¯s natal flying sword only consumed one¡¯s spirituality and did not require the use of true Qi. However, there was a distance limit when controlling one¡¯s sword to kill an enemy. It was directly related to the realm of the sword cultivator or the degree of condensation of one¡¯s soul. As Lin Feng¡¯s sword cultivation strength had been forcefully enhanced by the system¡¯s power of the Wonder, the losses that an ordinary sword cultivator had to bear when controlling a sword did not seem to apply to him. The elder who was fighting Lin Feng was in the advanced stage of the Origin Building Realm, while Lin Feng was only in the intermediate stage of the Origin Building Realm, yet the elder was still being suppressed by Lin Feng. The grand elder of the East Sun Sect was shocked. He didn¡¯t expect that sword cultivators would be so powerful. The disciples behind him were even more shocked that the sect master of the Green Sky Sect was so powerful. ¡°Grand elder, the sect master of the Green Sky Sect is not as weak as you say,¡± One of the disciples next to the grand elder of the East Sun Sect suddenly said. Ever since they had entered this small world, Lin Feng had shocked them enough. Now, seeing that their elder who was in the advanced stage of the Origin Building Realm was no match against Lin Feng¡¯s casual attacks, the grand elder¡¯s expression was also solemn. While he observed Lin Feng¡¯s sword cultivation strength, he was also thinking of a way to break out of this situation. ¡°Grand elder, if this continues, I¡¯m afraid that the elder won¡¯t be a match. Let¡¯s attack together,¡± Seeing that the elder was still at a disadvantage, the disciple became even more anxious. ¡°Mm, you guys attack together.¡± With the grand elder¡¯s order, the disciples behind him decisively joined in the battle. They surrounded Lin Feng and attacked him. Lin Feng had already expected that the battle would end up like this. In the face of the encirclement of so many, he did not panic at all and remained calm. At this moment of life and death, it would only be strange if they continued to fight one by one. As they were in the small world created by the Sparrow in a Cage, everything could be changed according to Lin Feng¡¯s will. The battle became more and more intense, and the sword Qi on the battlefield was rampant. The Qi cultivators of the East Sun Sect had wanted to win with numbers, and the spells that they cast were like tidal waves coming crashing one after another. The spiritual energy quickly submerged Lin Feng. Before this, Lin Feng wasn¡¯t fighting with his full strength since he was only facing one opponent. However, now that he was facing the attacks of several people at the same time, and there were even two cultivators in the Origin Building Realm, even if he was a sword cultivator in the Origin Building Realm, he still had to face it seriously. As Lin Feng moved, the sword light became sharper and sharper. The sword Qi grew long and the sword intent was so strong that it was simply appalling. Although he seemed casual when he waved the flying sword in his hand forward every time, the sword Qi contained within was not casual, and it easily cut wounds on anyone who came into contact with it. In the end, the sword Qi turned into a shadow of the long sword. It pierced through the head of the East Sun Sect elder, who was in the advanced stage of the Origin Building Realm, and killed him in one strike.. Chapter 22 - You Want to Escape? Its too Late Now! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio In the small world of the Sparrow in a Cage, Lin Feng was fighting eight people alone. Two of his opponents were in the Origin Building Realm while the remaining six were all in the advanced stage of the Condensing Reality Realm. Among the sword Qi that had been swimming freely in the cage, part of them were cutting at the opponents under Lin Feng¡¯s control, while the rest became extremely violent and sharp due to the aftershocks of the battle. The cultivator in the advanced stage of the Origin Building Realm who had been the first to attack Lin Feng had been severely injured. Then, when the others swarmed over to help, they attacked with him as the center as he was the strongest. Until a sword Qi that flashed with a cold light and was incomparably fierce appeared from the ball of spell energy that the cultivator in the advanced stage of the Origin Building Realm found himself unable to resist, and was ultimately pierced through the head. To think a tiny wisp of sword Qi had such power! The battlefield instantly quieted down, and everyone simultaneously stopped any spells that were yet to be cast. They watched in shock as the elder¡¯s body slowly fell to the ground. In an instant, his last breath was gone and not even his soul was left behind. The energy left by the spell attacks surrounding Lin Feng gradually dissipated. His tall and straight body gradually reappeared in front of the crowd. His robe was slightly disheveled, but there was not a single wound on his body. He cast his gaze to the back where the grand elder of the East Sun Sect was and behind him were the elders and disciples who were yet to make a move. The sudden change on the battlefield shocked everyone, and the weaker ones had a look of fear on their faces. Even the grand elder of the East Sun Sect, a Qi cultivator who was half a step into the Black Core Realm, felt his heart palpitate. His heart trembled slightly, and he thought to himself, if he were the one to receive the sword attack, would he be able to take it? After thinking for a moment, the grand elder¡¯s many years of battle experience told him that with his cultivation of the half-step Black Core Realm, there was a high chance that he would not be able to withstand it. If he was lucky he might survive, but heavy injuries would¡¯ve been inevitable. As the grand elder thought of this, the fear in his heart started to spread. The dead cultivator¡¯s body was still lying quietly on the ground. At this moment, Lin Feng finally had a clear understanding of his strength. While he was merely in the intermediate stage of the Origin Building Realm, he could kill a Qi cultivator in the advanced stage of the Origin Building Realm as easily as killing a chicken. The sword Qi just now was just a casual strike with some of his power. He did not expect that it would be so easy to kill. Although he looked calm, he was also shocked by his strength. After thinking hard for a while, the grand elder of the East Sun Sect still couldn¡¯t think of a way to defeat Lin Feng¡¯s ridiculously powerful attack. ¡°Let¡¯s attack together. If this continues, we will all die,¡± The grand elder forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart and said in a low voice to the only Origin Building Realm elder left as well as the unaffiliated cultivator at the peak of the Condensing Reality Realm behind him. He knew very well that Lin Feng had complete control over the natal flying sword and the Green Sky Sect¡¯s last resort in this small world. If the people of the East Sun Sect wanted to leave this small world, they had to defeat or kill Lin Feng. The appearance of this small world, which could isolate all senses, was already shocking enough. However, the grand elder was most fearful of Lin Feng. After all, Lin Feng had toyed with the entire Longyan County for so many years at such a young age. To think he allowed his image to be that of the weakest sect master, as well as endured all the sarcasm and pretended to be cowardly, giving up many of the sect¡¯s resources. It was a tactic of giving up a small soldier to protect the great general. He gave up on all that so that the sect could secretly develop! It was needless to say how much of a plus a sword cultivator sect master with a natal flying sword would be in the sect¡¯s rank assessment. The difference between the potential of a sword cultivator and a Qi cultivator was like Heaven and Earth, and the Imperial Court was also clear about it. Lin Feng had killed a person with one strike of his sword Qi. After intimidating the people of the East Sun Sect, he stood on the spot and calmed himself down. However, his eyes were still fixed on the people opposite him, and he could sense that the other party was going to attack with all their strength. Lin Feng¡¯s expression did not change, but his body tensed up quietly, ready to deal with the counterattack of the East Sun Sect. With the grand elder of the East Sun Sect as the leader, everyone secretly agreed to the plan and attacked with all their might. The small world of the Sparrow in a Cage was instantly illuminated by the radiance of various spells. Everyone used their strongest attack. Lin Feng, who was the target, had been prepared since the end of the last attack. With a thought, the wisps of sword Qi wandering in the small world instantly gathered together and turned into countless flying swords in the blink of an eye. The gathering speed of the sword Qi was extremely fast. More and more sword Qi gathered together, and with this, the flying swords hovering in the sky gradually solidified. The instant the people of the East Sun Sect attacked, Lin Feng launched his attack as well without any hesitation. As a person who had transmigrated from the modern world and received higher education, it was hard for him to accept the fact that he had to kill. Even though Lin Feng had completely accepted everything about Lin Feng of the Green Sky Sect, including his memories, the original Lin Feng wasn¡¯t someone who would kill another. In this dangerous fantasy world, one could even say the original Lin Feng was too gentle. All his life, he had rarely killed anyone. Initially, when Lin Feng transmigrated here, he thought it would be good if things went on like this. However, as the East Sun Sect¡¯s actions became more and more excessive, and the pressure they exerted on them became more and more ruthless, it brought out the ferocity in Lin Feng¡¯s heart. The East Sun Sect had repeatedly set their sights on the Green Sky Sect, completely shattering Lin Feng¡¯s wish to develop the sect behind closed doors. He had no choice but to change his methods, and his attitude thus became unyielding. Since the East Sun Sect dared to bully his sect, it was likely that they were prepared to die. After killing one person, Lin Feng suppressed the uncomfortableness in his heart. Facing the siege of more than ten people, Lin Feng¡¯s expression was solemn as he attacked without mercy. Since they were mortal enemies, there was no room for mercy. He might as well kill all of them to prevent future trouble. In the sky of the small world of the Sparrow in a Cage, countless condensed sword Qi flying swords pointed at the enemies. Lin Feng commanded the flying swords to block the attacks of the spells while attacking from the back. Under the attack of Lin Feng¡¯s sword rain, the disciples in the Condensing Reality Realm and unaffiliated cultivators couldn¡¯t fight back effectively. Soon, they fell under the attack of the flying swords. Even the cultivator at the Origin Building Realm could only struggle under the dense sword rain and couldn¡¯t launch an effective attack. This was the first time Lin Feng had used his full strength and completely controlled the sword Qi of the Sparrow in a Cage. As he did this for a longer time, the compatibility between him and his natal flying sword increased. As for the mental exertion required to control the flying sword, he did not feel it at all, and thus his evaluation of the system grew even higher. ¡°Spare us, spare us¡­¡± The people brought by the East Sun Sect could not resist for long. Other than the grand elder, all of them were killed very quickly, until only the old cultivator was left. He was finally terrified. He struggled as he resisted while begging Lin Feng for mercy. At this moment, he had completely lost the divine composure he had when he first arrived. His originally high and mighty appearance was completely replaced by the fear of death. Lin Feng didn¡¯t give him a chance to regret. Taking advantage of the grand elder¡¯s tiredness, he swung his sword and easily killed him.. Chapter 23 - The Crisis is Over. Prepare For the Second Stage of Refinement! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The people outside couldn¡¯t see what was happening inside within the small world of the Sparrow in a Cage. Since Lin Feng had dragged all the people of the East Sun Sect into the small world, only the elder who had been fighting with Zhang Wanqing was left on the square. The elder of the East Sun Sect panicked for a moment when he realized that everyone else had disappeared. Then, he calmed down when he remembered that the grand elder who was in the half-step Black Core Realm had disappeared as well. He looked around at the disciples of the Green Sky Sect in the square with a relaxed and mocking expression. Most of them were below the Condensing Reality Realm, and of the few who were in the Condensing Reality Realm, they were merely in the intermediate or advanced stage. The only one who could even fight against him was Zhang Wanqing, who was severely injured. He thought to himself, ¡°What are my chances in I kill all the disciples of the Green Sky Sect?¡± While he was calculating in his mind, he also paid attention to Zhang Wanqing¡¯s movements to prevent her from launching a sneak attack. Before the Wonder was built, Zhang Wanqing was the strongest sword cultivator in the Green Sky Sect, and her combat strength was already very strong. After she became the chief lawyer of the sect, she had suppressed all the villains who tried to get their hands on the Green Sky Sect by herself. Zhang Wanqing¡¯s title as the current strongest sword cultivator in Longyan County had been built by herself sword by sword. Although she had been severely injured in the battle with the Black Core Realm mountain-moving ape a few days ago, her injuries had recovered a lot after a short period of treatment. It was only because her recuperation had been short that she had yet to fully recover. However, with a little effort, she could still kill the East Sun Sect Qi cultivator. In the eyes of the surrounding disciples, the senior sister who acted as the chief lawyer of the sect had demonstrated her sword cultivation techniques in this battle, displaying her sword cultivation strength to the fullest. It was like a wonderful battle lesson for the disciples who had just become sword cultivators. When she had caused her old wound to rupture the first time she made a move, Zhang Wanqing knew that she could only rely on sword moves and techniques to win in the following combat. As she expected, she successfully killed the East Sun Sect cultivator with her sword techniques. It wasn¡¯t only after the battle ended did she have some time to think where the people of the East Sun Sect who had suddenly disappeared had gone. Seeing that her senior brother had also disappeared, she immediately thought of the small world filled with sword Qi that she had been to previously. The people from the East Sun Sect had probably been pulled into the space created by her senior brother¡¯s natal flying sword. She wondered if her senior brother could face so many people alone, including a cultivator who was a half-step Black Core Realm. Zhang Wanqing was a little worried, but in front of the many disciples in the square, she could only suppress her anxiety and force herself to calm down. ¡°Disciples, listen up. Everyone, get ready for battle!¡± She knew that time was tight. She didn¡¯t know how long her senior brother¡¯s natal flying sword¡¯s small world could last. She could only let everyone get ready for battle against the East Sun Sect people who would appear at any time. However, at this moment, Lin Feng¡¯s figure appeared out of thin air in the square. Similarly, the blood-stained corpses with sword wounds appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes. The square fell completely silent. The corpses on the ground shocked everyone. Lin Feng looked around at the disciples who were preparing for battle. He smiled and said, ¡°The crisis has been resolved. The East Sun Sect won¡¯t dare to come again.¡± As soon as Lin Feng finished his words, Zhang Wanqing¡¯s worried heart finally settled down, and she felt completely at ease. This time, the East Sun Sect had come aggressively. For the many ordinary disciples of the Green Sky Sect who were weak, they had thought that it was likely that they wouldn¡¯t be able to pass this hurdle. However, the affairs of the world were hard to predict. Not long ago, all the disciples of the sect had awakened their sword intent and had been blessed with talent in the Sword Dao, thus becoming sword cultivators. The sect master had even nurtured his natal flying sword, and his strength had increased explosively. At this time, the people of the East Sun Sect had come knocking on their door. They thought that they would definitely win, but because of the unexpected Lin Feng, their plan had completely failed. Zhang Wanqing¡¯s cold face was stained with a touch of dark red due to the rupture of her injury, and she looked more alive because of it. However, when Lin Feng saw that his junior sister had been injured again, his heart felt as if it had been twisted, and it hurt throbbingly. He thought that it was because he was angry, and it was all the fault of the people from the East Sun Sect. He quickly went forward and handed a healing pill to her. Zhang Wanqing didn¡¯t feel that there was anything to be worried about her injuries. She had been injured more severely than this in the past, so this little injury was nothing. She felt that her senior brother didn¡¯t need to make such a fuss. However, when Lin Feng handed the pill over with a solemn expression, Zhang Wanqing felt an inexplicable pressure, which stopped her from saying anything to reject it. As such, she could only obediently swallow the pill. She thought to herself that if it weren¡¯t for her senior brother, the Green Sky Sect wouldn¡¯t have been able to survive this incident. If the East Sun Sect came to cause trouble again, she couldn¡¯t rely on her senior brother alone. She had to recover as soon as possible. After saving the Green Sky Sect by himself again, Lin Feng wasn¡¯t complacent over such a small matter. Seeing his junior sister swallow the pill, he felt his heart settle down a little. After this surprise attack, he finally understood why the East Sun Sect had been clinging onto the Green Sky Sect for so many years. In conclusion, it was because they were too weak. The Green Sky Sect used to be one of the top sects in Longyan County. Even though they had gradually fallen to the bottom, they were still rich due to their many years of accumulation. However, since they started to fall, many sects that didn¡¯t even have a rank could steal some benefits from the Green Sky Sect. Although the East Sun Sect was a new rising star, they felt that they were stronger than the Green Sky Sect, so they naturally didn¡¯t want to let go of a fat sheep like the Green Sky Sect. It was also because of the shameless plundering by the East Sun Sect that the decline of the Green Sky Sect was accelerated. The fundamental reason they were attracting flies like the East Sun Sect was a combination of the riches the Green Sky Sect had over the years and the fact they were getting weaker and weaker. This time, Lin Feng had killed the few elders and elite disciples of the East Sun Sect in the Green Sky Sect. According to the East Sun Sect¡¯s previous behavior, they wouldn¡¯t let this matter rest once they found out. Therefore, the crisis of the Green Sky Sect hadn¡¯t been resolved. Although it seemed to be safe now, there was only one way to completely get rid of the threat of the East Sun Sect, and that was to raise the overall strength of the sect to be above the East Sun Sect. They had to make their ranking higher than that of the East Sun Sect in the coming sect¡¯s rank assessment three months later! Lin Feng looked at the cheering disciples in the square. All of their faces were full of excitement as they expressed their delight to each other. Many disciples were praising Lin Feng¡¯s ability with great admiration. Zhang Wanqing looked at her calm senior brother who was next to her and found it strange that he didn¡¯t feel excited at such a moment that was worth celebrating. At this moment, Lin Feng¡¯s mind had completely left the square, constantly thinking about the system and the Wonder. Just the first stage of forging the Jade Heavenly Long Sword had improved the Green Sky Sect so much. Lin Feng couldn¡¯t help but look forward to the changes that would happen to the disciples of the Green Sky Sect if the second stage of forging the Jade Heavenly Long Sword was completed! Chapter 24 - Every Disciple of the Green Sky Sect Can Open the Gates of Heaven With One Sword Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio On the square, the disciples of the Green Sky Sect were extremely excited. The corpses on the ground couldn¡¯t stop them from expressing their joy. The Green Sky Sect had been oppressed by the East Sun Sect for many years, and this was the first time they had won so completely. Lin Feng¡¯s heart had already drifted elsewhere. He couldn¡¯t understand the feelings of the disciples on the square at the moment. ¡°Everyone, quiet down!¡± Seeing that the disciples did not seem to want to stop celebrating, Lin Feng could not help but remind them to stop. After arranging the final matters, he planned to immediately go and complete the second stage of forging the Jade Heavenly Long Sword. The disciples in the square stopped their chatter and raised their heads to look at Lin Feng, who was standing at the top of the stairs. ¡°Currently, the crisis of the East Sun Sect has been temporarily resolved, but it¡¯s not time to relax yet. Compared to the other sects, we are still too weak. Even if the East Sun Sect does not continue to cause trouble for us, as long as we are still the weakest sect in Longyan County, there will be other sects like the West Moon Sect, the South Sky Sect, and so on who will come knocking on our door¡­¡± When Lin Feng saw that the expressions of the disciples grew serious with his words, he felt quite satisfied. ¡°Although you have all worked very hard, I need you to work even harder to continue cultivating. Don¡¯t waste your current talent in Sword Dao.¡± When he mentioned their talent in Sword Dao, the eyes of the disciples lit up. The sect master was right. He had created an opportunity for them to improve their strength quickly. The rest was up to them. Seeing something in the eyes of the disciples, Lin Feng finally felt relieved. He was afraid that the disciples of the Green Sky Sect wouldn¡¯t be serious in their cultivation after they learned about the benefits of the Wonder. If they simply placed all hopes of obtaining power on the Wonder, it would go against Lin Feng¡¯s intention of forging the Wonder in the first place. ¡°Clean up these corpses, and remember to dispose of them properly!¡± Emphasizing the last four words, his junior sister and the disciples immediately understood and agreed. After the battle and Lin Feng¡¯s words of advice, the disciples of the Green Sky Sect worshipped their sect master from the bottom of their hearts. No one could refuse his orders. Zhang Wanqing sensed her senior brother¡¯s plan and asked before her senior brother left, ¡°Senior brother, are you going to continue forging?¡± Lin Feng nodded at her, expressing his affirmation, ¡°Also, don¡¯t go near the Ancestral Master Hall for the time being.¡± Everyone agreed, expressing their understanding. Zhang Wanqing was anticipating the results after knowing her senior brother¡¯s plan. After her senior brother had finished the first stage of forging the Wonder, he had told her that the completion of the second stage of forging the Wonder would bring a great improvement to the Green Sky Sect. Although Zhang Wanqing was curious about her senior brother¡¯s method of forging the Wonder, she didn¡¯t ask to watch the process of his forging. After giving out the tasks, Lin Feng did not stay any longer. He turned around and left the square, heading towards the Ancestral Master Hall where the Sword Stele of the Jade Heavenly Long Sword was. No matter how many times he looked at the Sword Stele, he would still find it magical. The dark golden patterns on the body of the Stele were extremely mysterious. The body of the Stele that was made of the core of the Canghai Stone was constantly emitting gentle energy fluctuations. Lin Feng stared at the Sword Wtele for a long time. It was as if he was about to comprehend Sword Dao and become a deity, even his figure seemed somewhat ethereal. Next, he took out the eight materials in his storage ring. Azure Sky Stone Mine, Black Iron Concentrate Mine, Red-Gold Copper Mine, Dark Cloud Black Mine, Nephrite, Golden Thunder Bamboo, as well as the most important Mirage Sea Crystal Soul and Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron. The eight materials were all ore materials that were one grade higher than the materials used last time. Mirage Sea Crystal Souls were usually used in the refinement of flying swords to increase the potential of them obtaining a spirit. They were extremely difficult to find and their forging method was quite complicated as well. The Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron was even rarer. It was originally a star that fell from outer space. After 49 days and 81 rounds of forging, only could it be formed into a weapon forging material. It also contained a trace of star power. Right now, the Sword Wtele was only at the second stage of forging, yet it already required materials of this grade. Lin Feng felt that if he wanted to advance to the next stage, ordinary items would not be enough. After lamenting for a while, Lin Feng took out the blueprint. After examining it carefully, he began his refinement. Compared to the last time, his strength had also increased considerably. He calculated in his heart and felt that the spiritual energy in his body was enough to complete the whole stage of forging. Lin Feng began to forge as soon as he was ready. He put the eight materials into the mold according to the sequence shown in the blueprint. As time went by, a strange phenomenon appeared in front of the Ancestral Master Hall again. Golden lotuses continuously emerged from the ground. Initially, the lotuses were in a state of being just about to bloom. As more materials were added along the forging process, the golden lotus buds that covered the space in front of the Ancestral Master Hall gradually bloomed. In the middle of each lotus flower was an aura that was swimming around like a small fish. Upon closer inspection, one could tell that the aura was a fish, but a sword-shaped sword Qi. Lin Feng focused on the forging process. Although he was aware of the phenomenon around him, he did not pay close attention to it. When all the golden lotuses bloomed, the sword-shaped sword Qi within them gradually solidified. They no longer roamed around and instead floated in the center of the flower bud, emitting waves of sharp sword intent. With the addition of the last material, the Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron, a bright moon slowly rose from the flower pond. The phenomenon produced during the second stage of forging was not as grand as the first. All the phenomena were concentrated in the open space in front of the Ancestral Master Hall, so no one saw it. At this moment, at the foot of the mountain where the Ancestral Master Hall was, Zhang Wanqing stood alone in the middle of the stairs. She was standing guard for her senior brother to prevent the disciples who did not know the situation from accidentally rushing up the mountain and disturbing his forging. As the first sword cultivator in the sect to possess a natal flying sword, she was extremely talented and was also the most sensitive to the changes in fate. Just as Lin Feng¡¯s work was coming to an end, Zhang Wanqing could vaguely sense that the Sword Dao fate of the Green Sky Sect was slowly increasing, though it was only a very vague feeling. As time passed, she became more and more curious about what her senior brother was doing on the mountain. In the sect, Dongfang Yuanzhong, Ming Yuxuan, Li Liangchen, and the few disciples with the highest talent in Sword Dao were also attracted by fate, and they looked in the direction of the Ancestral Master Hall. ¡°Senior Brothers, did all of you sense it?¡± Yuanzhong was the youngest, but he was the most talented. He was the first to sense the change in fate. While he was shocked, he quickly asked his senior brothers in a low voice. ¡°Yes. I wonder what the sect master is up to in the back mountain,¡± Mingyuxuan quickly responded. ¡°Whatever he¡¯s doing, it¡¯s a good thing¡­¡± Li Liangchen muttered in a low voice. His cold voice was very similar to Zhang Wanqing¡¯s. On this side, in front of the Ancestral Master Hall, Lin Feng had just finished the second stage of forging the Sword Stele. As he withdrew the spiritual energy he released, all the strange phenomena around him instantly disappeared. The Sword Stele in front of him once again returned to its ordinary appearance. It was just that the body of the Stele had become much wider. Next to the words that he had originally carved on it, there was now a small space, allowing him to carve the inscription of the second stage. After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng raised his sword and carved these words on the Sword Stele, ¡°Every disciple of the Green Sky Sect can open the gates of Heaven with one sword!¡± Then, he injected the power of Wonder into the Sword Stele. In an instant, a sharp and thick sword light flew out of the Stele and shot into the sky.. Chapter 25 - Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, All Disciples Become Sword Cultivators! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio All the disciples of the Green Sky Sect sensed it when the sword Qi shot up into the sky before the Ancestral Master Hall. The Sword Dao Fate of the sect suddenly surged, and all the disciples of the Green Sky Sect gained some of it. In the next moment, another phenomenon occurred in the Green Sky Sect, which was no inferior to the purple energy that came from thirty thousand miles east. The entire Green Sky Sect was slowly lifted into the sky by a huge bright moon formed by sword Qi flying swords. It was visible to the naked eye that the bright moon was formed by a huge amount of sword Qi. After it hung high in the sky, more sword Qi flying swords slowly appeared around it, forming a circle in a worshipping manner. A total of six layers of sword Qi arranged themselves in an orderly manner. On the ground, all the disciples of the Green Sky Sect raised their heads to look up at the sky. The sky that was supposed to be as blue as water had been blocked by the phenomenon of the sword Qi that had even blotted out the Sun. All they could see was the sword Qi that covered the sky. When the first stage of forging the Jade Heavenly Long Sword had been completed, all of the two hundred inner and outer disciples of the Green Sky Sect had become sword cultivators. After less than ten days, they felt their Sword Dao Fate had been greatly improved again. Before he had left the mountain for adventure previously, Lin Feng had asked Zhang Wanqing to open the arsenal of the sect, so that all the disciples could choose a suitable sword for themselves. As for the natal flying sword, if one couldn¡¯t find one¡¯s sword, Lin Feng had promised that the sect would find a way to get one for them after they reported it to the sect. Now, after the second stage of forging the Jade Heavenly Long Sword was completed, not only did all the disciples of the Green Sky Sect feel that their Sword Dao Fate had improved once again, but even the sword they were bringing with them emitted sword chimes of different degrees. Everyone was astonished. ¡°Senior brother, the sect master must have done something huge at the Ancestral Master Hall again!¡± ¡°Come, let¡¯s go and take a look. The chief lawyer is guarding at the foot of the mountain, maybe she knows something.¡± Ming Yuxuan did not hesitate to lead his junior brothers to the Ancestral Master Hall after Yuanzhong finished speaking. On the foot of the stairs leading to the Ancestral Master Hall, Zhang Wanqing had been waiting here alone for a long time. Ever since Lin Feng had started the forging process on the mountain, there had been phenomenon after phenomenon. She had sensed it all. It was precisely because she could sense what was happening on the mountain that she was even more shocked. From the moment Lin Feng started refining, she could faintly sense the sword qi, sword intent, and the golden lotuses all over the ground. As the forging progress entered its final stages, she could feel that her Sword Dao Fate was getting stronger and stronger. At this point, she could break through at any time as long as she wished to do so. If she could receive such a huge boost, then what about the other disciples of the sect? Did they also receive a boost? Zhang Wanqing had many guesses in her mind. If it wasn¡¯t that her senior brother hadn¡¯t come down the mountain yet, she would have left to check on the disciples at the foot of the mountain right now. In such a short period, her senior brother had increased the Sword Dao Fate of the Green Sky Sect by several times. She didn¡¯t know the reason for this, but it didn¡¯t stop her from being curious about her current senior brother. The turbulent waves in her heart couldn¡¯t be told to others. The phenomenon in the sky continued for a while and finally began to dissipate. The Sword Dao Fate in the sky sprinkled down, falling into the Green Sky Sect. Regardless of whether they were in the sect or not, all of the disciples had received the support of the Sword Dao Fate. In the Green Sky Sect, the phenomenons that would happen when one advanced into the next realm occurred one after another. The energy beams of various colors connected together, making it hard for people to tell where they were, and it was also hard to tell who had made the breakthrough. After receiving the blessing of the Sword Dao Fate twice, the cultivation realms of the disciples of the Green Sky Sect had all improved. Not only that, their comprehension of the sword intent had also broken through to have mastery over the complete sword intent, and they had all become sword cultivators. Zhang Wanqing, who was the strongest and had the highest talent and strength, had received the greatest increase in her strength. At the foot of the mountain where the Ancestral Master Hall was, Ming Yuxuan brought Dongfang Yuanzhong along with Su Ritian and Li Liangchen. The four of them were rushing toward Zhang Wanqing¡¯s position. ¡°Senior sister!¡± ¡°Senior sister, is this phenomenon caused by the sect master creating the Wonder?¡± ¡°The swords of the many disciples in the sect have sensed it¡­¡± .. The minute they saw Zhang Wanqing, they couldn¡¯t wait to ask her about all this. Hearing these words, Zhang Wanqing turned around and glanced at the Ancestral Master Hall on the mountain before replying. She still spoke with the same cold voice, but her words made the most promising disciples of the Green Sky Sect calm down as the light in their eyes grew brighter. ¡°Senior brother is forging the second stage of the Jade Heavenly Long Sword¡¯s Sword Stele on the mountain.¡± As soon as Zhang Wanqing finished her words, Yuanzhong was the first to ask a question, ¡°Senior sister Zhang, you said the second stage, so does that mean that there will be a third stage, or even a fourth stage?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure. Senior brother hasn¡¯t told me yet¡­ but even without the aid of the Wonder, won¡¯t the lot of you cultivate?¡± Zhang Wanqing¡¯s expression turned serious at the end of her sentence. She was afraid that the disciples of the Green Sky Sect would slack off on their cultivation in private because it was too convenient for them to increase their strength through the Wonder. ¡°No, no, why would we think that way? The sect master has already created the most favorable cultivation conditions for all of us by giving us such top-notch talent when he created the Wonder. We should work harder instead,¡± Yuanzhong immediately explained when he heard that Zhang Wanqing seemed to be a little angry. Zhang Wanqing was chatting with the few disciples at the bottom of the stairs. On the mountain, Lin Feng was completing the last step of the whole process. Standing in front of the Jade Heavenly Long Sword¡¯s Sword Stele, Lin Feng injected a large amount of power of Wonder into it. Because this last step perfected the whole process, the members of the Green Sky Sect who had received the blessing of the Sword Dao Fate had a different level of breakthrough in their cultivations again. As the only host of the system as well as the first creator of the Sword Stele, not only did Lin Feng obtain top-tier talent in Sword Dao, but his cultivation realm was also raised again and again. After he had injected the power of Wonder into the Sword Stele, Lin Feng¡¯s cultivation realm directly broke through from the intermediate stage of the Origin Building Realm to the advanced stage. His natal flying sword, the Sparrow in a Cage, flew out of his body and hovered in front of him. Just as Lin Feng was puzzled, a mysterious power of Laws from the Sword Stele rushed toward the Sparrow in a Cage that was suspended in the air. When the Sparrow in a Cage absorbed all the power of Laws, Lin Feng held the sword in his hand and observed it carefully. Many patterns had appeared on the sword. If one didn¡¯t look carefully, they would think that they were cracks. After looking carefully, he found that the patterns were Law patterns. After staring at it for a long time, Lin Feng could vaguely sense that his natal flying sword was excited. The flying sword had given birth to a spirit! Lin Feng was shocked. This was the greatest gift the first Wonder, the Jade Heavenly Long Sword had brought him. At the same time, a sword manual of sword moves appeared in Lin Feng¡¯s mind. He sank his consciousness into it and gently touched it. The sword manual instantly turned into a brilliant light and fused into his memory. The name of this sword manual was ¡°The Sword Opens the Gate of Heavens¡±. After turning into light, the sword manual was like a technique that he had cultivated for many years, and was imprinted in his muscle memory. After familiarizing himself with it in his mind, he found that the sword moves had great lethality. It could also be considered as an additional trump card for his future battles.. Chapter 26 - Famous in Longyan County, Statue of the Sect Master! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Lin Feng carefully read through the sword manual in his mind. The sword manual overlapped with his memory and gave him a sense of familiarity like an old friend that he had not seen for many years. As Lin Feng recalled over and over again while he continued to practice the moves in the sword manual in his mind, the cultivation in his body also continued to improve. In just an instant, Lin Feng felt that his cultivation had increased. Lin Feng sensed his cultivation base in astonishment. In just a short while, he had advanced from the intermediate stage of the Origin Building Realm to the advanced stage. At this speed, it wouldn¡¯t take long for him to reach the Black Core Realm. As for the Origin Soul Realm, it would only be a matter of time. With the help of the system, the speed of his cultivation simply couldn¡¯t be any faster. Lin Feng was once again amazed by the power of the system. With such an ability, he believed that it was only a matter of time before the Green Sky Sect became the Supreme Immortal Dynasty. On the other side, the fluctuations of the phenomenon in the Green Sky Sect had caused the surroundings to be filled with rich sword Qi. The sword Qi hovered in the air and soared up into the sky. All the sects in Longyan County sensed the impact of the spiritual essence. The people of each sect all walked out of their sects to trace the source of the spiritual essence from its fluctuations. They found themselves looking toward the direction of the Green Sky Sect. In that direction, what they saw was a wave of blue spiritual essence that was condensing, forming a wave of powerful energy that shot up into the sky. The energy was so majestic that it seemed like it could break through the clouds and cover 90,000 miles. Looking at the majestic energy, some people were starting to have feelings of admiration. Although they didn¡¯t dare show it because of their sect dignity, they were secretly amazed. Which sect was practicing a method? To think it was able to cause such a phenomenon. It had been tens of thousands of years since such a grand scene like this had happened in Longyan County. Some sharp-eyed sects noticed that the soaring spiritual essence this time came from the same place as the purple clouds from the east last time. Which sect was it? To think it was able to cause such powerful phenomenons twice in a row. No sect in Longyan County had been able to achieve such a thing for a century. Could it be that a hidden powerful sect was planning to come into being? If that was the case, there would be no future for the small sects in Longyan County. At the same time, Yisan of the Longying Pavilion and the gatekeeper Suo Tian who was guarding the city gates also felt the fluctuation of the spiritual essence. Suo tian Frowned as he looked at the spiritual essence that seemed to be about to soar into the sky in the distance. He couldn¡¯t help but feel nervous. To think such a rare phenomenon had happened twice in Longyan County, could it be that some mighty figure was coming into being? If that was the case, he had to report it to the Imperial Court as soon as possible. They couldn¡¯t just let such a mighty figure go about and grow freely. Yisan stood on the top floor of the Longying Pavilion and looked in the direction of the Green Sky Sect. He had his ideas. He thought of a certain cultivator who had dealt with the mission of the Qingyan Village, but then he soon tossed the idea away. Even though that person was mysterious and unfathomable, a cultivator in the Origin Building Realm couldn¡¯t possibly have made such a huge commotion. In the southwest corner of the Longyan County, a clan leader had also sensed the existence of the spiritual essence. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the spiritual essence in the distance, and found it to be in the same direction as the Green Sky Sect. Wasn¡¯t the Green Sky Sect the sect ranked last for the past one hundred years? How could it have such a powerful spiritual essence? Moreover, it seemed that the spiritual essence was filled with pure Sword Dao Fate. Only sword cultivators could clearly sense the Sword Dao Fate. The Sword Dao Fate in Longyan County had been declining over the past one hundred years, and thus the number of sword cultivators in Longyan County had also decreased. The Wu Family Sword Tomb was also the only surviving family of sword cultivators. Because its status as a sword cultivator was extremely rare among the many cultivators in Longyan County, thus the Wu Family Sword Tomb which specialized in raising sword cultivators had become one of the largest clans in Longyan County. Even the Imperial Court of Longyan County had to treat it respectfully. In the past hundred years, besides the Wu Family, there was no other clan of sword cultivators in Longyan County that could rise to the top. Logically speaking, the future of the Wu Family should have been immeasurable. However, as the next leader and only son of the Wu Family, Wu Long hadn¡¯t comprehended the sword intent and thus had not become a true sword cultivator. In Longyan County, Wu Long who was aged sixteen now could be considered a genius among the young cultivators for having comprehended the half-step sword intent and was only half a step away from becoming a true sword cultivator. That being said, that was two years ago. At that time, the Wu Family was pleasantly surprised that Wu Long had already comprehended the half-step sword intent at the age of fourteen in Longyan County, where the Sword Dao Fate was so scarce nowadays. They thought that he was surely a genius sword cultivator, and the future of the Wu Family was bright. However, two years had passed, and his comprehension of the sword intent still remained at half-step without any improvement. This was a headache for the leader of the Wu Family. Not long ago, the leader of the Wu Family had unintentionally sensed a strong fluctuation of the Sword Dao Fate. Seeing the phenomenon of the purple energy coming from the east that occurred at the Green Sky Sect, the leader of the Wu Family was surprised. He had wanted to go where the phenomenon was to find out what was going on, but when he learned that his destination would be the Green Sky Sect, he had some misgivings. The Wu Family Sword Tomb was of dignified status in Longyan County. If people found out that the leader of the Wu Family had gone to visit a down and out sect like the Green Sky Sect, people would say things. Therefore, he gave up on the idea. But today, the leader of the Wu Family once again saw the Green Sky Sect bursting out with spiritual essence that soared to the sky, as well as rich sword Qi. Even the Wu Family, as an aristocratic family of sword cultivators, had never seen such a shocking sword Qi. The leader of the Wu Family was extremely shaken. Only the Holy Land of sword cultivators could have such shocking sword Qi. Wu Long, who was standing at the side, looked at the distant phenomenon with incomparable yearning in his heart, and he said, ¡°Father, I want to go and take a look.¡± Of course, Lin Feng did not know what was happening outside. Lin Feng, who had just recovered from the advancement in his cultivation, was now more concerned about the disciples in the sect. After Lin Feng put the Sparrow in a Cage back into his body, he returned to the sect. Seeing the disciples sitting cross-legged on the ground and meditating, Lin Feng just quietly observed. After a while, beams of spiritual light shot out from the disciples¡¯ bodies, bursting out with a dazzling light. The disciples broke through one after another. All of them had successfully created their natal flying swords from their comprehension. As the inner sect disciples, Ming Yuxuan and the others broke through from the intermediate stage of the Condensing Reality Realm to the advanced stage. Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Feng felt satisfied with their performance. Zhang Wanqing, who had appeared out of nowhere, looked at the scene in front of her with trembling eyes. Perhaps Lin Feng didn¡¯t know what all this meant, but she knew it very well. To make it so that all the sword cultivators possessed a natal flying sword of their own, even the Green Sky Sect a century ago couldn¡¯t do it. Let alone the Green Sky Sect, throughout history, Zhang Wanqing had never heard of a sect that could make it so that their sword cultivators had their own natal flying swords. Among the sword cultivators, those who could have a natal flying sword could be considered one in ten thousand, let alone everyone. Looking at the scene in front of her, Zhang Wanqing suddenly had some kind of target in her heart. The current Green Sky Sect could be considered the leading sword sect even in the entire Longyan County. After all, no one in the entire Longyan County could make all their disciples sword cultivators. Looking at her senior brother who was by the side, Zhang Wanqing¡¯s heart was in turmoil. ¡°Senior brother, look, I have a natal flying sword.¡± ¡°Me too, me too.¡± ¡°It must be all thanks to the sect master.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, it must be.¡± The disciples could feel their natal flying swords, and their faces were filled with joy. When they saw the sect master standing at the side looking at them with satisfaction, they understood that all of this was thanks to the sect master, and their hearts were filled with gratitude. They all knelt in front of the sect master. Lin Feng raised his hand and said, ¡°Alright, although everyone has gained something, you can¡¯t be impetuous. You must cultivate seriously, don¡¯t waste your talent.¡± The disciples replied, ¡°I understand!¡± Lin Feng turned around and left with Zhang Wanqing. He was thinking about what he should do next. The materials for the third stage of forging the Jade Heavenly Long Sword were quite difficult to obtain, and it was not good to forcefully increase their achievement in the Sword Dao. Perhaps creating the second Wonder was the best choice.. Chapter 27 - A Visit From the Wu Family Sword Tomb Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After returning to his room, Lin Feng opened the system after making sure that no one would come to disturb him. He wanted to select the Wonder he would forge next in the system. Lin Feng kept flipping through the options for the Wonders in his mind. The Divine Dragon of the Nine Heavens, the Yin-yang Eight Trigrams Formation, the Taixuan Deity Statue¡­ Each one required more than ten kinds of materials, extremely rare materials at that. Just completing the second stage of forging the Jade Heavenly Long Sword had already consumed most of the sect¡¯s cultivation resources. The sect simply did not have so many resources to consume anymore. Moreover, the current advancement of the sect¡¯s disciples was too fast. If he were to make them advance again when the spiritual energy in their bodies was not stable, the whole matter might backfire. Plus, all of them were now sword cultivators. As such, in addition to their realm cultivation, they also had to improve in their Sword Dao. For now, the strength of the sect¡¯s disciples was still too weak. Therefore, he had to consider many factors and think twice before choosing the second Wonder to forge. At this time, there was a knock on the door. Lin Feng got up and came to the door. It turned out Zhang Wanqing had come to Lin Feng to discuss matters of the sect. Lin Feng invited Zhang Wanqing into his residence and brought her a cup of tea. After Lin Feng sat down, then only did Zhang Wanqing tell him her reason for coming, ¡°Senior brother, during this period, the Wonder that you have forged has helped the sect disciples improve a lot.¡± ¡°Junior sister, there¡¯s no need to praise me. This is what I should do as the sect master.¡± ¡°What I want to say is that I hope senior brother will put the third stage of forging the Wonder aside for now.¡± Zhang Wanqing was expressionless as she looked at Lin Feng, but in her heart, she was very nervous. ¡°Why do you say that?¡± ¡°Although the disciples of the sect have all become sword cultivators, their realms are just too low. Most of them are only in the beginner stage of the Condensing Reality Realm, and only a small number of inner sect disciples have reached the advanced stage of the Condensing Reality Realm. The natal flying sword grows stronger as the host¡¯s realm increases. Thus, if their realms are unstable or too low, they will be unable to unleash the power of their natal flying sword. Although the disciples¡¯ cultivation in the Sword Dao has advanced, their realm cultivation is rather unstable. I¡¯m afraid that if this is left to continue, it will have a great impact on their cultivation in the future.¡± Hearing Zhang Wanqing¡¯s words, Lin Feng nodded silently. As a sword cultivator, Zhang Wanqing was very clear about the problems with unstable realm cultivation, and as a modern person, Lin Feng was very much aware of the importance of playing it safe. Hence, after some discussion between the two of them, they reached a consensus. For the time being, the third stage of forging the Sword Stele would be temporarily put on hold. After Zhang Wanqing left, Lin Feng began to tour the Wonders in the system. He was well aware that what was needed now was a new Wonder. Under the current situation where the sect¡¯s resources were scarce, it was impossible to go on with the third stage of forging the Jade Heavenly Long Sword. Moreover, it was just like what his junior sister said, it would be counterproductive to go on with the third stage now. Therefore, the most urgent task now was to find a Wonder that was both suitable for the sect and inexpensive. After searching for a while, Lin Feng finally found a Wonder that was suitable for the sect: ¡°The Sect Master¡¯s Statue¡±. Once forged, it would increase the spiritual energy of the sect, which was exactly what they needed right now. Although the Green Sky Sect had an abundance of Sword Dao Fate now, the concentration of spiritual energy here was just average. The realms of the sect¡¯s disciples had been low, to begin with, and now that their cultivations had been forcefully advanced, without enough spiritual energy to support them in circulating and regulating their cultivation, it was difficult for them to make substantial progress. It was expanding a house while using fewer materials. As such, the higher the house was built, the easier it was for it to collapse. Therefore, only with sufficient spiritual energy could the steady progress of the sect disciples be guaranteed. Moreover, the materials needed for this Wonder were the least among all the Wonders. The sect was currently short of materials, and the third stage of forging the Sword Stele required quite a sum of materials as well, thus all materials had to be used sparingly. Therefore, the best thing to forge at this stage was this Wonder. Since he had decided on what to forge, the next step was to collect the materials needed for this statue. This included the White Jade Spirit Stone, Granite Jade Stone, Black Jade Stone, and Cloud Stone. These four stone materials were commonly seen on the market, so it shouldn¡¯t be difficult to find them. As for the metals, Bronze blocks, Red Copper blocks, and Brass blocks were needed. These copper blocks were also some basic materials. The disciples could get them if they went down the mountain to collect some. Other than stones and metals, the other materials needed were the Spiritual Rosewood, Thousand-year Tree Crystal, and Ice Soul Crystal. These three materials were very rare. Let alone the Ice Soul Crystals that were the essence of the crystals that were filled with spiritual essence only found in hundred-year-old ice caves, even the Tree Crystals that took a thousand years to form might not be found in the sects of Longyan County. Only an old sect like the Green Sky Sect could have one or two. The only one that was slightly easier to find was the Spiritual Rosewood. Thinking of this, Lin Feng began to have a headache. When he had asked his junior sister to get the materials for the first Wonder previously, her face had been full of heartache. If he asked his junior sister for materials again, would she be angry and refuse his request? Lin Feng lay in bed and struggled for the whole night, but he couldn¡¯t muster up the courage to just go ask for the materials. He didn¡¯t fall asleep until daybreak. The Sun had just risen, and a group of sword cultivators with swords had come to the foot of the Green Sky Sect¡¯s mountain, asking the people there if this was the place where the phenomenon had occurred yesterday. The villagers pointed at the Green Sky Sect that was on the mountain and described what had happened yesterday. ¡°Yes, yes, yes, it happened in the Green Sky Sect on the mountain. Oh, you probably don¡¯t know, but the light suddenly appeared. I was drinking tea then, and it scared me so much that I spilled my tea¡­¡± Before the villager could finish his words, the sword cultivators had already walked away. As soon as the group of sword cultivators stepped into the territory of the Green Sky Sect, they sensed the rich Sword Dao Fate. These sword cultivators had never seen experienced such rich Sword Dao Fate, and their eyes were shining bright. They tried to regulate their cultivation, intending to use the Sword Dao Fate to improve themselves. However, nothing happened even after they tried for a long time. The Sword Dao Fate didn¡¯t seem to come into contact with them. While everyone was puzzled, the leading adult male seemed to have thought of something, and he said, ¡°This Sword Dao Fate seems to recognize its master.¡± ¡°The Fate recognizes its Master?¡± The surrounding sword cultivators did not believe this statement, but it was also a fact that they were unable to come into contact with the rich Fate. This was actually all because of Lin Feng. The words that Lin Feng carved on the Sword Stele were the key to the Wonder and its phenomenon. Only those designated by the words on the Stele could receive the corresponding gift. As a result, only those who were accepted as disciples by the sect could receive the gifts. These sword practitioners could only look at the mountains of riches before them, but they couldn¡¯t take any for their own use at all. Although such a thing was simply eerie to them, judging from the current situation, they could only believe in this possibility. After they confirmed that it was indeed the case, when they looked at the Green Sky Sect above them again, they were feeling extremely shocked. What kind of sect could have the ability to control the Sword Dao Fate? This method was literally like the magic of a Deity. More and more people were curious about the true abilities of this sect.. Chapter 28 - This Is the Holy Land of Sword Cultivators! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Who are you?¡± Just as the group was about to go up the mountain to pay a visit, a shout came from the front. The group of sword cultivators raised their heads to take a look, but the minute they saw the person in front of them, they were shocked Nan Mending stood in the air with a sword in his hand, emitting the aura of a sword cultivator. His natal flying sword was hovering in the air by the side. As an inner sect disciple of the Green Sky Sect, Nan Mending had awakened his natal flying sword like the others in the enlightenment yesterday. Having been in the Green Sky Sect for so many years, and finally becoming an inner sect disciple, he had always thought that he could only be a Qi cultivator. He had never imagined that he would one day become a sword cultivator. After becoming a sword cultivator, he was overjoyed. He had never dreamed that he would one day make progress on his path of cultivation since he had never been outstanding among the inner sect disciples. Both Ming Yuxuan and Wu Mingyu were more diligent than him, and in terms of talent, Su Ritian and Li Liangchen were very gifted. He was merely luckier than others. He was already satisfied with being able to become an inner sect disciple. However, after experiencing the incident in Qingyan Village, he realized that he was lacking. As an inner sect disciple, his determination to uphold the sect was not even stronger than Dongfang Yuanzhong¡¯s. When the sect master had told him to run, he did not hesitate to do so until Yuanzhong requested to turn back. This made Nan Mending feel very guilty. After returning to the sect, he had broken through to the advanced stage of the Condensing Reality Realm with the help of the sect master, and now even owned a natal flying sword. The sense of responsibility in his heart and the respect he had for the sect master drove him to work harder. That was why he had come out to patrol at dawn today, hoping to do more for the sect. Seeing that someone was coming up the mountain, Nan Mending had immediately summoned his natal flying sword in fear that they were people from the East Sun Sect. Nan Mending¡¯s natal flying sword was called Maimang. Its speed was something no ordinary person could match. It could transform into a ray of light and travel freely, making it able to kill someone from a hundred meters away as easily as taking something from a bag. It was very suitable for surprise attacks at it could kill the opponent instantly while the opponent was still oblivious, thus achieving an unexpected effect. Nan Mending had noticed these sword cultivators the minute they were about to come up the mountain. He had been secretly observing them and only let down his guard when he saw that they weren¡¯t from the East Sun Sect. His appearing in front of them wasn¡¯t a big deal, but the sword cultivators opposite him were shocked by his appearance. A sword cultivator with a natal flying sword could be considered one in ten thousand among sword cultivators. Even within their clan, they only had one so far. Furthermore, the young cultivator in front of them was dressed like a disciple no matter how one looked at him. If a disciple could have such talent, then what kind of strength did the sect master have? To be able to raise such a talented sword cultivator, the Green Sky Sect was indeed not that simple. These sword cultivators were no one else but the Wu Family Sword Tomb¡¯s people. The Wu Family leader had brought his clansmen to the mountain because of what they had witnessed a few days back. They wanted to see for themselves whether the phenomenon of spiritual essence piercing the sky and Sword Dao surrounding the place were true. Being greeted with such a pleasant surprise as soon as they entered the mountain made the family head more resolute in going up the mountain to seek an audience with the sect master. Since he was here in someone else¡¯s territory, he had to first gain the other party¡¯s trust. The Wu Family head stepped forward. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and bowed slightly as he introduced himself, ¡°I am Wu Haotian, the leader of the Wu Family Sword Tomb. I came to visit your sect today because I saw the Sword Dao that soared into the sky yesterday and was very attracted to it, thus I came to pay a visit.¡± Seeing that the other party was treating him with courtesy, Nan Mending also put down his attitude and returned the courtesy. ¡°I see that your Sword Dao cultivation is exquisite, and you even have a natal flying sword with you, you must be the direct disciple of the sect master.¡± Such a talented youth was very rare. The sect master must have intended to train his direct disciple, which was why the youth was patrolling the mountain. Otherwise, who would order such a precious talent to patrol the mountain? Wu Haotian affirmed his thoughts and the smile at the corners of his mouth became much more confident. ¡°No, no, I am just an ordinary disciple among the many disciples. I am not a direct disciple.¡± What?! Upon hearing Nan Mending¡¯s reply, the members of the Wu Family opened their mouths wide in disbelief. If an ordinary disciple had such talent, how terrifying would a direct disciple be? Wu Haotian looked at the disciple in front of him who had a natal flying sword, then at his son who couldn¡¯t even grasp the complete sword intent in two years. He could not help but sigh in his heart. He had given the best resources to this kid to cultivate since he was young. Even so, his son had only comprehended the half-step sword intent at the age of fourteen, while this disciple in front of him was already a sword cultivator who had a natal flying sword even though he was just an ordinary disciple. The difference in age between the two of them did not seem to be big, yet why was the difference in talent so big? It seemed that the purple energy from the east must have been a phenomenon that happened here as well. There must be a secret technique hidden here. Wu Haotian bowed slightly and asked Nan Mending if the majority of disciples had such talent. Nan Mending scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, ¡°A sword cultivator like me is not even worth mentioning in the entire sect.¡±. With this, Wu Haotian was so shocked that he fell backward and sat solidly on the ground. If it wasn¡¯t for Wu Long who had supported him from behind, he would have rolled to the bottom of the mountain. This must be the Holy Land of Sword Dao! The purple energy came from thirty thousand miles east, and sword Qi soared into the sky. The disciples of the sect were extremely talented, and the place was rich with Sword Dao Fate. If this place wasn¡¯t the Holy Land of Sword Dao, then where would the Holy Land be? Wu Haotian tried his best to calm his trembling heart as he shouted in his heart, ¡°My son is saved!¡± Wu Haotian quickly grabbed Wu Long¡¯s hand and carefully walked to Nan Mending. Watching the other party¡¯s actions, Nan Mending was slightly surprised. Although there were indeed a lot of sword cultivators in the sect, they shouldn¡¯t be so shocked, right? Could it be that he had never seen a sword cultivator before? Nan Mending didn¡¯t know that it was precisely because the other party knew too much about sword cultivators that he knew how difficult it was to become a sword cultivator. Those were existences that were one in ten thousand! Even for the Wu Family, not everyone was a sword cultivator. Every sword cultivator had to be selected from thousands of people. Taking Wu Haotian¡¯s son as an example, if it wasn¡¯t for his family¡¯s bloodline, he might not even have the chance to become a sword cultivator. ¡°Excuse me, but I have a presumptuous request. I don¡¯t know if I should say it.¡± ¡°Please do.¡± ¡°This son of mine has always wanted to become a sword cultivator. He has even comprehended the half-step sword intent by himself. I wonder if your sect can accept my son as a disciple.¡± ¡°Uh¡­ I¡¯m afraid this will be a little difficult.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s any inconvenience, feel free to say it.¡± Nan Mending didn¡¯t know how to put it either. Seeing the smug look on the other party¡¯s son¡¯s face, he was afraid that he would hurt the other party¡¯s heart if he said it out loud. However, it wouldn¡¯t be good if he didn¡¯t say it clearly. Therefore, he still said it per the principle of doing things seriously, ¡°Since yesterday, our sect is no longer taking in any disciples below the half-step sword intent.¡± ¡°Ah!!!¡± Wu Haotian roared in his heart before immediately fainting upon hearing this answer.. Chapter 29 - Use the Sword to Pacify the Injustice of the World! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Seeing that the leader of the Wu Family had lost his bearings so many times due to his words, Nan Mending dare not continue speaking recklessly. After Wu Haotian regained his senses, he made up his mind that he had to meet the sect master. He wanted to see who had such ability to set such a requirement. On the other hand, Nan Mending did not dare to make any further movements. Seeing that the other party was hesitant, Wu Haotian suggested that since Nan Mending couldn¡¯t make up his mind, he should just bring them up the mountain and let the sect master decide. There wasn¡¯t anything else Nan Mending could do about the family leader, so he had no choice but to agree to their suggestion and bring them up the mountain. As soon as they reached the top of the mountain where the Green Sky Sect was, Wu Haotian was instantly attracted by the abundance of Fate around him. He looked around with his mouth agape. On the way, they happened to bump into Zhang Wanqing. Seeing that he could finally get rid of the baggage, Nan Mending hurriedly called to Zhang Wanqing, ¡°Chief lawyer, these people are here to see the sect master. They said they have something to ask him about.¡± Zhang Wanqing walked around Nan Mending and came to Wu Haotian. She recognized the family emblem on their clothes. It was the Wu Family Sword Tomb. The Wu Family was one of the top sword cultivation families in Longyan County, why were they here to see her senior brother today? Zhang Wanqing didn¡¯t say much. She asked Nan Mending to bring the sect master over while she brought the Wu family members to the main hall to wait. Wu Haotian knew the person in front of him. This was one of the top sword cultivators in Longyan County, Zhang Wanqing. It was rumored that this woman was cold and heartless and was not easy to get friendly with. Wu Haotian followed behind her and didn¡¯t dare say anything. After they arrived at the main hall, everyone waited quietly for Lin Feng¡¯s arrival. The entire hall was immersed in pin-drop silence. Wu Haotian could not help but ask, ¡°I wonder what is the relationship between the sect leader and the chief lawyer?¡± Zhang Wanqing glanced at him and a chill came over him. Wu Haotian wished he could slap his mouth. How could he be so nervous that he asked such a stupid question? ¡°The sect master is my senior brother, I¡¯m his junior sister.¡± ¡°I see, I see,¡± Wu Haotian smiled awkwardly and didn¡¯t dare to continue speaking. Finally, Nan Mending brought Lin Feng to the main hall. When Wu Haotian saw Lin Feng, his eyes were filled with shock. Lin Feng was surrounded by the Sword Dao Fate. The gorgeous robe he wore fluttered in the gentle breeze and swayed with Lin Feng¡¯s footsteps. His face was clean and handsome, and his posture was frank and carefree. His aura was a combination of that of a hot-blooded man¡¯s heroic spirit as well as a cultivator¡¯s divineness. Most importantly, the Fate around him seemed to be at his mercy as it swayed with his fingers. ¡°This is an expert,¡± Wu Haotian thought to himself. Wu Haotian was about to step forward and say something when a disciple came over with a young man. ¡°Sect master, please help him.¡± Lin Feng frowned, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Feng looked at the young man brought by the disciple. His clothes were tattered, and he probably washed his face since he was here to see him, but his hair was still in a mess. ¡°He wants to join our sect to become a sword cultivator. I took pity on him, so I brought him here even allowed him to wash his face,¡± The disciple answered, like a child waiting for the sect master¡¯s praise. Lin Feng smiled in his heart and patted the disciple¡¯s shoulder, whose lips immediately curled up. Truth be told, Lin Feng already had plans regarding the recruitment of disciples, but he had been so busy with the Wonder that he had neglected the matter. Lin Feng was well aware that if a sect wanted to develop, it had to continuously recruit talents. However, there were all kinds of people in this world, and not just anyone could be recruited. Otherwise, if they allowed those who had ill intentions to take advantage of them, the one who would suffer in the end would be Lin Feng himself. Now that someone had come stating that they wanted to join, although he welcomed them, he still had to test this person¡¯s character first. Lin Feng placed his hands behind his back and observed the young man while circling him. ¡°Why do you want to become a sword cultivator? Tell me your reasons one by one.¡± Faced with Lin Feng¡¯s question, the young man told his story. He was originally a villager from the village at the foot of the mountain. He came from a family of three, living an ordinary life with his parents where they worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. Everything had been fine until the landlord in the city suddenly wanted to sell the village¡¯s land. His parents refused. They had been living in the house since their parents¡¯ generation. They had lived a simple and comfortable life, and not once did they default on rent. How could they agree when the landlord said that he wanted to take back the land and the house so suddenly? Seeing that they were unwilling to comply, the landlord sent his parents to prison. He even paid someone to sneak into the prison and beat his parents to death. Now, he had no parents. Even his house and land were gone. When Zhang Wanqing heard the tragic story and saw the poor child in front of her, she could not help but turn her face away. However, Lin Feng was different. As a modern person, he was very clear that such anger would bring endless consequences. He stood in front of the young man and stared into his eyes as he questioned him, ¡°You want revenge?¡± The young man stubbornly shook his head and said, ¡°I only hope that one day, I can use my sword to pacify the injustice of the world.¡± Lin Feng carefully observed his aura, wanting to see if he was lying. After confirming that he wasn¡¯t lying, Lin Feng nodded his head in satisfaction. ¡°Very well, I agree for you to join our sect.¡± As soon as Lin Feng said this, the young man¡¯s entire body was surrounded by a golden light. Everyone was shocked. As the golden light shone, the young man felt a unique aura enter his body, cleansing all his muscles and bones, and dispersing the foul Qi in his body. Then, rich Sword Dao Fate engulfed him and seeped into his body bit by bit. ¡°Crystal Clear Sword Heart!¡± Wu Haotian could not help but exclaim as he looked at the young man with a face full of shock. This was the first time he had seen someone with a ¡°Crystal Clear Sword Heart¡±. Such a person was even rarer than owning a natal flying sword. A person who could have a Crystal Clear Sword Heart could be said to be one in ten million in this world. Not only did one have to have enough talent in Sword Dao, but one also had to have justice in one¡¯s heart. One had to have a righteous big heart with a great understanding of the right and wrong in this world. Talent in Sword Dao alone was already one in ten thousand, added by the requirement for one to be a pure person with a sense of righteousness in his heart, such chances were so slim they were close to zero. As long as such a person maintained his pure heart in the cultivation of Sword Dao, his future achievements were guaranteed to be high. Even in the entire Great Spring Dynasty, such a person was as rare as a phoenix¡¯s feather or a qilin¡¯s horn. As the Sword Dao Fate completely seeped into the young man¡¯s body, the golden light on him also fused into his body. With a ray of multicolored light, the young man instantly skipped the process of having to master the sword intent, and a flying sword appeared in front of him, circling him. Wu Haotian watched the scene in front of him and then looked at the calm Lin Feng. He could not help but feel admiration in his heart. Perhaps Lin Feng had already foreseen all of this when he asked the young man a question. They simply couldn¡¯t be enemies with such a person.. Chapter 30 - New Disciple, The East Sun Sect Is Furious! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio While everyone was still lamenting over the young man¡¯s extraordinary talent, Lin Feng had already noticed the look in Wu Haotian¡¯s eyes. ¡°Young man, what¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°My name is Qing Daniu.¡± ¡°This name doesn¡¯t sound classy enough. From now on, you shall be called Qing Yun. Leave and go familiarize yourself with the environment you will be living in in the future.¡± ¡°Thank you, sect master.¡± Qing Yun left the grand hall with the disciple who had brought him here earlier after paying his respects to the others. The disciple¡¯s face was full of pride when he left. To think he had unearthed such a powerful fellow. He would be able to boast about it for the rest of his life. Watching Qing Yun as he left, Zhang Wanqing was deep in thought. Recently, with the help of her senior brother, the Green Sky Sect had gradually recovered to its former glory or was perhaps even more glorious than before. Perhaps in the near future, the Green Sky Sect would have a chance to make a name for itself again. Thinking of this, she was also deeply moved. Lin Feng noticed that Wu Haotian had been staring at him, and his eyes seemed to show that he was calculating something. Lin Feng didn¡¯t like such eyes. After all, they told him that the owner of the eyes was having ideas about him and his sect. ¡°May I know why this senior is visiting the Green Sky Sect today?¡± Although Wu Haotian¡¯s cultivation was only in the beginner stage of the Truth Building Realm, where he had been stuck for more than ten years, he was older than Lin Feng, so it was reasonable for Lin Feng to call him senior. ¡°Oh, please don¡¯t call me senior, you¡¯re flattering me. We are from the Wu Family Sword Tomb at the foot of the mountain. I am the leader of the Wu Family. I came here today to ask the sect master to take my son in as your disciple. I wonder¡­¡± Wu Haotian¡¯s actions were very humble. After witnessing the Crystal Clear Sword Heart just now, Lin Feng was already an unfathomable expert in Wu Haotian¡¯s eyes. Lin Feng glanced at Wu Long, who had been pushed to the front by Wu Haotian and was bowing with his head lowered. He could sense the half-step sword intent on Wu Long. After asking a few questions, he had a preliminary understanding of Wu Long¡¯s situation. Lin Feng turned his body to the side so that he didn¡¯t have to see Wu Haotian scheme. ¡°Your son¡¯s talent can only be considered at the middle or lower range in our sect, and we have no intention of recruiting disciples recently.¡± Hearing this, Wu Long¡¯s face was full of disappointment. Wu Haotian was also aware that his son was nothing in front of the disciples of the Green Sky Sect since coming here. ¡°But¡­¡± Wu Long¡¯s eyes lit up again while Wu Haotian went forward and bowed again. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible for us to take in a disciple. However, our sect is still in conflict with the East Sun Sect recently. Senior, please consider it carefully.¡± Lin Feng was giving Wu Haotian a choice. If Wu Haotian¡¯s son joined the Green Sky Sect, it was only a given the Wu Family was on good terms with the Green Sky Sect. However, the East Sun Sect was now the largest sect in Longyan County, and they were very arrogant and despotic. Even the local cultivators would take a detour when they saw the people of the East Sun Sect in Longyan County. If they met, they would have to bow and scrape. Therefore, when Lin Feng revealed his relationship with the East Sun Sect, Wu Haotian was caught in a dilemma. The Wu Family was just a simple family of sword cultivators. They were already at a disadvantage in front of the sects. Moreover, they couldn¡¯t just offend the East Sun Sect, which was ranked first among the sects in Longyan County. If it were in the past, he would have chosen to side with the East Sun Sect without hesitation. After all, no one wanted to offend someone they could not afford to offend. But now, he had to reconsider. The Wu Family hadn¡¯t made any progress for many years. If this continued, sooner or later, they wouldn¡¯t be able to hold their head up high in Longyan County. If he had the help of the Green Sky Sect now, the Wu Family might be able to rise to the top in the future. He had witnessed the strength of the Green Sky Sect just today. With such strength, the Green Sky Sect couldn¡¯t be confined in the small Longyan County in the future. If they could establish a relationship with the Green Sky Sect now, they might even have a place within the whole Great Spring Dynasty in the future, let alone Longyan County. Wu Haotian was still quite clear on which was more beneficial. Seeing his son who was full of anticipation as he waited by the said, Wu Haotian could not help but feel sad. Wu Long had a talent for sword cultivation since he was a child, and had a boundless yearning to be a sword cultivator as well. When he learned that he had comprehended half-step sword intent, the first thing Wu Long did was run to his father¡¯s side, wanting to display his strength. At that time, Wu Long¡¯s face was full of confidence. But two years had passed, and Wu Long still hadn¡¯t broken through to grasp the complete sword intent. He was just stuck at the half-step sword intent and couldn¡¯t progress. Even so, Wu Long still practiced desperately every day. In these two years, Wu Haotian had never seen Wu Long¡¯s excited and confident expression just like when he had just comprehended the half-step sword intent. Now that he had the chance to give something he couldn¡¯t give to Wu Long himself, he wouldn¡¯t let his son have any regrets. Wu Haotian bowed to Lin Feng and said, ¡°Sect Master, the Wu Family only has one son. As a father, I really don¡¯t want to see this child¡¯s talent go to waste. The Wu Family is willing to stand against the common enemy of the Green Sky Sect. Sect Master, please accept my son as your disciple.¡± ¡°Father!¡± Looking at the father and son in front of him, Lin Feng¡¯s heart was moved. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯m willing to accept your son as a disciple, but¡­¡± Lin Feng scooted closer to Wu Haotian¡¯s ear halfway through his sentence and raised a hand while rubbing his fingers. ¡°You know that it wasn¡¯t easy for me to get such Sword Dao Fate in the sect, and with the addition of one person, it will affect the Sword Dao Fate as well.¡± It was hard for Wu Haotian to not know what Lin Feng meant. Wu Haotian smiled slightly and said in understanding, ¡°We came in a hurry today. We will send someone to deliver the gifts for your taking him as a disciple the day after tomorrow.¡± Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction. With this, he could more or less subsidize the expenses of the sect, and his junior sister shouldn¡¯t mind even if he wanted to build the Statue of the Sect Master. ¡°Very well, Wu Long can perform the joining ceremony along with Qing Yun just now then.¡± ¡°Thank you, sect master.¡± Wu Long was filled with joy when he learned that he could join the Green Sky Sect. He was so excited that his whole body was trembling. On the other side, in the Ancestral Master Hall of the East Sun Sect, a meeting was being held. The sect master of the East Sun Sect had a dark expression on his face. Nobody in the Ancestral Master Hall dared to make a sound as they kept looking at the empty corridor out the entrance. Sitting at the top of the hall, the sect master looked down at the people who had been sitting on both sides of the hall for a long time. These people were the elders in charge of the affairs of the East Sun Sect. Each elder had their responsibilities. They were in charge of the internal affairs and didn¡¯t usually participate in the affairs outside. Today, the sect master had gathered them here mainly because the grand elder had brought some of the elders who were in charge of the external affairs o the Green Sky Sect not long ago. They had stated that they were going to seek justice for the disciples. The disciples of the East Sun Sect had always been feared in the outside world. Upon hearing that their disciples had been bullied by a low-ranked sect like the Green Sky Sect, the elders couldn¡¯t suppress their anger and thus followed the grand elder to the Green Sky Sect. At the same time, they also took some of the disciples with them. They thought that these people would be back soon. However, they didn¡¯t expect that they would be gone forever. The sect master flew into a rage and immediately summoned the remaining elders to discuss the matter in the Ancestral Master Hall, determined to make the Green Sky Sect pay the price.. Chapter 31 - Ice Soul Crystal Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The sect master of the East Sun Sect had been waiting for a long time in the Ancestral Master Hall, yet no one had said anything. ¡°Elders, don¡¯t you have any thoughts on this matter?¡± The sect master of the East Sun Sect bellowed when he saw that no one in the hall would take the initiative to speak. Air currents rippled with his words. The elders in the hall knew that the sect master was getting impatient. Several of the elders¡¯ hands and feet were trembling from the shock of the air currents. They could not take their sect master¡¯s anger. Although the elders present were all in the Origin Building Realm, they were merely in the beginner stage. Most of them were only in charge of internal affairs. Those who focused on external affairs like the grand elder were the main fighting force of the East Sun Sect. Now that the main fighting force of the East Sun Sect was gone, it was only a given that the sect master was furious. If one offended the sect master now, one might even lose his life in the next moment. The sect master of the East Sun Sect was a rare Black Core Realm cultivator in Longyan County. Other than the sect master of the East Sun sect, only a few sect masters from sects ranked lower than the East Sun Sect in Longyan County were in the Black Core Realm. However, most of those sect masters had just advanced to the Black Core Realm not long ago. The sect master of the East Sun Sect was already in the intermediate stage of the Black Core Realm. Just this strength alone made him an existence that could do whatever he wanted in Longyan County. It was also thanks to the sect master that the disciples of the East Sun Sect dared to be so arrogant and despotic. After the sect master got angry, an elder finally spoke slowly, ¡°The Green Sky Sect is ranked bottom in Longyan County. Even if the whole sect were to attack together, it should¡¯ve been impossible for them to have the strength to kill the grand elder. The whole matter is very strange, and I think we have to be cautious.¡± ¡°Humph, what¡¯s so strange about it?¡± The East Sun Sect¡¯s sect master hated such cowardly people, ¡°No matter what, the Green Sky Sect has existed in the East Barren Region for more than a thousand years. It had only begun to go into decline a hundred years ago. It¡¯s not surprising that they have some hidden trump cards.¡± At this moment, an elder who had been observing the situation stood up and agreed with the sect master, ¡°The sect master is right. The Green Sky Sect must have used some secret technique that no one knows about. Isn¡¯t it rumored that the phenomenon of a purple cloud coming from the east happened in the Green Sky Sect not long ago? I think it must be caused by that secret technique.¡± ¡°Second elder is right. The sect¡¯s Fate has been exhausted and is showing signs of decline. If we still cower in fear, then what about the dignity of the East Sun Sect?!¡± Saying this, the sect master slapped the armrest of the chair he was sitting on, shattering it into pieces. ¡°We should consider this matter from a long-term perspective. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. If we act rashly now, I¡¯m afraid we will ruin the matter.¡± The one who spoke was the elder in charge of the internal affairs of the East Sun Sect. His words also represented the thoughts of most of the internal affairs elders. However, to the sect master of the East Sun Sect, they were an eyesore. His cultivation realm was about to breakthrough, and he currently needed a lot of resources to replenish his spiritual energy but he just hadn¡¯t managed to get his hands on the Northern Tianlu Mountain vein of the Green Sky Sect. Now, he could use this as an excuse to take both the Northern Mountain and the Green Sky Sect as his own, at the same time getting some good resources to help him breakthrough while he was at it. Although he was the sect master of the East Sun Sect, he couldn¡¯t just use the resources as he pleased. With so many mouths to feed in the sect where everything expended a lot of resources, everyone¡¯s consumption was limited. Besides, with so many elders watching, he couldn¡¯t possibly squander. Therefore, it was extremely urgent for him to take down the Green Sky Sect. ¡°The Green Sky Sect massacred more than a hundred disciples of the sect and even persecuted the grand elder and the elders who went with him. As the sect master, I can¡¯t just stand by and watch, and neither can the disciples of the sect.¡± ¡°The sect master is wise. If the East Sun Sect don¡¯t seek justice now that injustice has befallen our disciples, how will we establish our dignity among the sects in the future?¡± The internal affairs elders couldn¡¯t say anything more after hearing the second elder¡¯s words. The second elder was secretly delighted when he saw that the other elders didn¡¯t say anything. Now that the grand elder was gone, as long as the sect master supported him, it would only be a matter of time before he became the grand elder. Therefore, he was absolutely on the side of the sect master. ¡°But I heard that some of the Green Sky Sect¡¯s disciples have already become sword cultivators.¡± ¡°So what if they are sword cultivators?¡± Before the sect master finished his words, with a point of his finger, a sword flew out from the weapon rack at the side and landed in the center of the hall. The sect master waved his hand, and a streak of energy slashed across the air, breaking the sword in half. ¡°Zhang Wanqing is a sword cultivator, no? But isn¡¯t she only in the Origin Building Realm? Sword Dao is just a cultivation method, the more important thing is the cultivation realm.¡± The sect master¡¯s move was smooth and fierce as the spiritual energy of the Black Core Realm surrounded him. The elders in the hall turned pale with fright. It seemed that the sect master had reached the peak of the intermediate stage of the Black Core Realm and could break through at any time. With this, the Green Sky Sect was no longer a force to be reckoned with. ¡°Our sect must take revenge. For the grand elder and the persecuted disciples of our sect, we can¡¯t let the Green Sky Sect off.¡± The East Sun Sect was preparing to attack the Green Sky Sect. In the Green Sky Sect, Wu Haotian and his son, Wu Long, were hurrying up the mountain with gifts to thank Lin Feng for taking Wu Long in as a disciple. When Lin Feng heard the news of Wu Haotian¡¯s arrival, he immediately dressed neatly and waited in the main hall. When Wu Haotian saw Lin Feng, the two of them chatted and laughed as they bowed to each other. Lin Feng looked at the pile of gifts that was as tall as a small mountain and sighed in amazement in his heart. ¡°You are quite generous.¡± ¡°No, no. In the future, I¡¯ll have to trouble the sect master to take care of my son. This little bit of courtesy is what I should do.¡± After saying that, Wu Haotian pulled out a little kid from the crowd that he had brought along. A little girl that looked lively and smart was brought to the front of Lin Feng. The girl blinked, her eyes bright and clear, like stars. The dress on her accentuated her petite figure. She skipped as she walked, which made her seem like a little fairy from fairyland. ¡°Sect Master, I know that the conditions for you to take in disciples are harsh¡­¡± ¡°Family leader, please just what you have to say.¡± Wu Haotian pulled Lin Feng to the side and explained in a low voice, ¡°This little girl has extraordinary status. She wants to learn the Sword Dao from you, and I can only follow her orders. I hope that you will accept her so that it¡¯ll be easy for me when I return.¡± Lin Feng furrowed his brows. The Green Sky Sect had just started growing, and their strength wasn¡¯t strong enough yet. At this moment, he didn¡¯t want to get involved with these unknown forces. Seeing that Lin Feng was hesitant, Wu Haotian took out a box from his back and handed it to Lin Feng, saying, ¡°It¡¯s just a small token.¡± Lin Feng opened the box and took a look. ¡°Ice Soul Crystal!¡± In the past few days, Lin Feng had asked Zhang Wanqing to collect the materials for the second Wonder. Most of the materials had been collected, but they simply couldn¡¯t find the Ice Soul Crystal even after searching the entire Longyan County. He had thought that there was no hope for him forging the Statue of the Sect Master. This Wu family leader had simply sent timely help. With this last piece of Ice Soul Crystal, he could start to forge the Wonder. Lin Feng picked up the Ice Soul Crystal in the box. Feeling the thin cold air emitted by the crystal, his eyes flashed.. Chapter 32 - I Didnt Want to, But He Offered too Much Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Lin Feng held the Ice Soul Crystal in his hands and couldn¡¯t bear to put it down. The crystal was a rare existence even in Longyan County. Lin Feng had been willing to pay any price but he still couldn¡¯t get his hands on a piece of the crystal. To think it was now given to him personally. It seemed that the girl with Wu Haotian wasn¡¯t simple. To be able to use such a rare treasure as a gift on the first meeting, the little girl¡¯s background might be above Longyan County. He and his sect were no match for such an existence currently. It was too dangerous for the current Lin Feng to take her in. ¡°Sect master, this is the list of Wu Long¡¯s thank-you gifts. Please take a look,¡± At this time, Nan Mending handed a gift list to Lin Feng. Lin Feng took the gift list. The moment he took a look at it, his eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets. He read on: White Jade Spirit Stone, Granite Jade Stone, Black Jade Stone, Cloud Stone, Bronze Block, Red Copper Block, Brass Block, there was even Spiritual Rosewood! Not only that, there were also all kinds of daily necessities like salt and rice, as well as some snacks and furniture. ¡°I heard from Nan Mending that you have been collecting these materials, so I brought them for you.¡± ¡°Thank you for your concern, Wu family leader.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter. As long as you allow Miss Jiang to join the Green Sky Sect, there will be many more gifts like this in the future.¡± Hearing Wu Haotian¡¯s words, Lin Feng began to hesitate. ¡°Please don¡¯t worry, Miss Jiang doesn¡¯t need special treatment. Just treat her how you treat the ordinary disciples. She won¡¯t cause trouble for the sect. Before she came, she was already warned to not trouble the sect master.¡± During this period, to forge the second Wonder, Lin Feng and Zhang Wanqing had taken stock of the sect¡¯s resources. Just the second Wonder alone would use up all the sect¡¯s money, leaving them with barely enough for basic expenses. Currently, one could even say Lin Feng¡¯s pockets were cleaner than his face, which was the same for Zhang Wanqing as well. Even so, the materials were still not enough. They only had the Thousand-year Tree Crystal, and for the Spiritual Rosewood, they had almost taken out their entire fortune. Not to mention that there were many more miscellaneous materials. Nowadays when Zhang Wanqing saw Lin Feng, she acted as if she wanted to beat him up. Lin Feng didn¡¯t even dare to talk to Zhang Wanqing. Wu Haotian gave Lin Feng a look, indicating to him to take a closer look at the box. Lin Feng observed the box with a puzzled look and found that there was an inner layer. After Lin Feng opened the inner layer, his hands shook to the point the box almost flew out of his hands. Good heavens, there was actually another Ice Soul Crystal! The Ice Soul Crystal could be refined and used on flying swords. If used in combination with flying swords with compatible attributes, one¡¯s strength would greatly increase. Sigh, it seemed that he had no choice but to accept this disciple. He was unwilling, but the other party had simply offered too much. ¡°Since Wu family leader is so thoughtful, I won¡¯t refuse anymore. Miss Jiang is welcome to join our sect to cultivate the Sword Dao.¡± ¡°Thank you, sect master.¡± Wu Haotian returned to the little girl¡¯s side and told her that Lin Feng had agreed. The corners of the girl¡¯s lips curled up, and her face was full of delight. ¡°Of course.¡± The girl placed her hands behind her back and skipped over to Lin Feng. ¡°Thank you, sect master. I, Jiang Hanzhang, will study hard in the future and live up to your expectations.¡± After saying that, she smiled with her teeth as she looked at Lin Feng. She was lively and sensible. How could such a girl not be liked by others? ¡°Alright. Go with Nan to familiarize yourself with the environment first,¡± Lin Feng said before turning around and giving some instructions to Nan Mending, ¡°Nan, clean a room and make it comfortable for your junior sister. Jiang Hanzhang, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can ask Nan for help. If he can¡¯t helo you, you can come to me.¡± Lin Feng didn¡¯t ask much about Jiang Hanzhang¡¯s background. Seeing that even Wu Haotian was respectful, she must be someone with status. Since she was so young yet had such high status, she must be the daughter of a major power who came for an adventure. She was probably here just to have fun. Lin Feng firmly believed in his thoughts that as long as he didn¡¯t disturb her, nothing would happen. As for the other party¡¯s information, the less he knew, the better. Jiang Hanzhang followed Nan Mending and looked around, skipping as she was curious about everything she saw. Nan Mending chased after her, afraid that she would fall or something. After Lin Feng made the arrangements, he whispered to Nan Mending that he had to make sure of the other party¡¯s safety. It was best to serve her comfortably. Nan Mending wasn¡¯t a fool. He understood that a little ancestor had arrived. The girl had been quiet and obedient before Lin Feng, but the moment she was out of Lin Feng¡¯s sight, she was like a runaway horse that couldn¡¯t be controlled. Nan Mending looked at the lively and cute junior sister who was mischievous and felt an inexplicable joy in his heart. Jiang Hanzhang¡¯s cute and charming appearance made people like her. With this junior sister, the sect would be much more lively in the future. Lin Feng had originally wanted to invite Wu Haotian for a meal, but Wu Haotian had declined, saying that he still had family matters to attend to. After making arrangements for Wu Long, he brought his subordinates down the mountain. Wu Long had already come once. Thus, he no longer needed Lin Feng¡¯s instructions this time. He consciously left with his senior brothers. Lin Feng instructed Dongfang and the others to store the materials they had bought previously. Since the required materials had already been provided by the Wu Family, they might as well use those first. After all, the materials they bought couldn¡¯t be returned, and they might be useful in the future. He even specially gave the Ice Soul Crystal in the inner layer of the box to Zhang Wanqing. The one in the inner layer was much smaller than the one on the outside, and compared to his Sparrow in a Cade, Zhang Wanqing¡¯s natal flying sword was more compatible with the Ice Soul Crystal. It was also a good opportunity to use this gift to win the favor of his junior sister. During this period of time, his junior sister hadn¡¯t shown him a single smile. Not that she had ever smiled at him yet. With the materials, Lin Feng opened the system again and exchanged for the blueprint of the Statue of the Sect Master. The Statue of the Sect Master could increase the spiritual energy density of the sect by ten times. The spiritual energy density of the Green Sky Sect was just average. This was simply not enough for them who had advanced in their realms too quickly. Now that he could increase the spiritual energy density by ten times, even if the cultivation realms of the disciples advanced again, their spiritual energy needs could still be satisfied. Spiritual energy was the foundation of cultivators. The amount of spiritual energy was directly related to one¡¯s cultivation realm. However, that was not all. The quality of spiritual energy was the key to the improvement of a cultivator¡¯s strength. For example, the grand elder of the East Sun Sect seemed to have a high realm, but in fact, he could only use 80-90% of his true strength. If he had been able to use 100% of his strength, he wouldn¡¯t have been defeated so easily. As such was the importance of the cultivation of one¡¯s spiritual energy. After all, one¡¯s cultivation realm determined one¡¯s upper limit, but the enhancement of one¡¯s spiritual energy determined one¡¯s lower limit. If one wanted to use 100% of one¡¯s strength, one had to constantly improve one¡¯s spiritual energy. This was also the reason why there were very few cultivators who could stand out from the crowd. True cultivators would not be in a hurry to grow, but to develop themselves in all aspects.. Chapter 33 - Suitable Location, the Grand Hall on the Main Peak Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Lin Feng held the blueprint and looked around for a suitable location to build the second Wonder. As a Wonder, it had to be in an eye-catching location. Not only should it be reasonable, but it also had to be eye-catching. This was a very important point. Initially, Lin Feng considered the Ancestral Master Hall in the back of the mountain where the Jade Heavenly Long Sword had been built. Lin Feng came to the Ancestral Master Hall and looked at the Jade Heavenly Long Sword, tall and majestic. Sword Dao Fate flew out from the Sword Stele. Looking around, it seemed that the most suitable spot had been occupied by the Jade Heavenly Long Sword. There was no more space in the Ancestral Master Hall for Lin Feng to build the Statue of the Sect Master. Moreover, if there were two Wonders in one place, it would be crowded and not pleasing to the eye. After thinking about it, he decided against it. Lin Feng glanced one more time at the Jade Heavenly Long Sword that was emitting the Sword Dao Fate and left the Ancestral Master Hall. After leaving, Lin Feng continued looking around for a suitable place. During this time, he met many busy disciples. ¡°Hello, sect master.¡± ¡°Hello, sect master.¡± When the disciples saw Lin Feng, they consciously stopped what they were doing and bowed to Lin Feng. Their eyes were full of respect and admiration. After what had happened during this period, everyone in the sect was full of admiration for Lin Feng, the sect master/ They understood that it was all thanks to Lin Feng that their cultivation had progressed so far. Moreover, Lin Feng had helped them block off the East Sun Sect¡¯s attack. The scene of Lin Feng successfully single-handedly killing the hundreds of people of the East Sun Sect was still etched in their minds. They were full of yearning and admiration for Lin Feng¡¯s strength. Lin Feng was the sect master of the Green Sky Sect, thus Lin Feng¡¯s strength represented the strength of the Green Sky Sect, and the strength of the Green Sky Sect was also their strength. Every one of them felt proud and proud to be a disciple of the Green Sky Sect, and this sense of honor was brought to them by Lin Feng. Now, even if Lin Feng were to ask them to fight on the battlefield, they wouldn¡¯t hesitate at all, because they firmly believed that Lin Feng¡¯s decision was right. Lin Feng walked around the sect, but he still couldn¡¯t find a suitable spot. After a while, he returned to the front of the grand hall. Lin Feng, who was having a headache, looked at the empty square in front of him and suddenly had an idea: Wasn¡¯t the square in front of the grand hall the best spot? Lin Feng shook his head. He had taken such a detour but when the best spot was right in front of him. After Lin Feng confirmed the location where he would build the second Wonder, he went to look for Zhang Wanqing. When he reached her door, Lin Feng was a little afraid as he had made his junior sister displeased due to the matter of the materials. He was especially worried that his junior sister would still be displeased with him since he took the only Thousand-year Tree Crystal left in the sect. Although he had returned the other materials to his junior sister, he hadn¡¯t returned the Tree Crystal. He wondered if the Ice Soul Crystal soothed his junior sister¡¯s heartache from losing the Thousand-year Tree Crystal. Lin Feng knocked on the door, and Zhang Wanqing opened it. ¡°I need you to seal off the main peak of the Green Sky Sect. No disciples are allowed to enter.¡± Zhang Wanqing stood expressionlessly on the spot, thinking it must be that the materials were complete and that her senior brother was going to go about forging his Wonder again. She had warned her senior brother previously that he should wait for a while before going ahead with the third stage. When he started buying materials again, she had initially thought that her senior brother wasn¡¯t listening to her advice. However, the place that her senior brother wanted to seal off was not the Ancestral Master Hall, which meant he wasn¡¯t going forward with the third stage of forging the Sword Stele. Since that was the case, Zhang Wanqing was looking forward to seeing what Wonder would come about this time. Zhang Wanqing recalled that she had yet to thank Lin Feng for the Ice Soul Crystal that he had given her earlier, so she said, ¡°Thank you for the crystal. Let¡¯s go.¡± She remained expressionless. Seeing that she did not stop him, it seemed that she was no longer angry, thus Lin Feng obediently followed behind her. After arriving at the main peak, Zhang Wanqing did not enter. Instead, she stood outside and gave Lin Feng a look. Lin Feng and Zhang Wanqing already had some tacit understanding. He nodded and entered the main peak, coming to the front of the grand hall. There was no one in the grand hall. Only Lin Feng stood alone in the square in front of the grand hall. Lin Feng took out the blueprint and looked at it. He chose a direction that faced the grand hall. Then, he took out the materials that he had gotten from Wu Haotian from his storage ring one by one. After confirming that there was enough, he sorted the materials. He was officially ready to start building the second Wonder, the Statue of the Sect Master. The statue as shown in the blueprint was faceless, it was just an embryonic form. Lin Feng naturally understood that the statue itself was not the key. The key was the system¡¯s power of Wonder. After the prototype was created, Lin Feng could then use the power of Wonder to polish and carve it, thus transferring the power of Wonders to the statue bit by bit. When it was completed, the power of Wonder would use the statue as a medium to come into effect. Regardless of all that, he had to make the prototype of the statue first. Lin Feng looked at the materials in his hands namely the White Jade Spirit Stones, Granite Jade Stones, Black Jade Stones, and Cloud Stones. These four types of stones would be used to create the base. The first was White Jade Spirit Stones. With the help of the system, Lin Feng mixed the same stone materials together. When that was about done, he added the next set of stone materials. What followed the White Jade Spirit Stones were the Granite Jade Stones. Lin Feng used the same method to mix them before mixing the Granite Jade Stones with the White Jade Spirit Stones. After the mixing was completed, he mixed the next set of stone materials again and repeated the same steps until the four types of stones were all mixed. A huge round stone composite appeared in front of him. Then he took out the Bronze blocks, Red Copper blocks, and Brass blocks. He refined them with the help of the system. After refining them, he merged them into the stone composite. After doing that, Lin Feng began to shape the statue. He had to at least give it a general appearance, only then could he carve and polish it better. He couldn¡¯t just carve a round stone, could he? Lin Feng first made a square pedestal as the base so the statue could stand. Then, he tried to shape the mold into a human. Regardless of all else, this was the Statue of the Sect Master, and he was the current sect master of the Green Sky Sect. If he didn¡¯t take it seriously, the shape would be wrong, and he would be displeased in seeing his deformed statue every day. Lin Feng was trying his best to duplicate his human form onto the statue. He shaped his hands, feet, body, and head. He was thinking that the body had to be fatter, after all, he still had to add some clothes. He didn¡¯t want the statue to look thin and weak, which didn¡¯t match his temperament at all. It was better to make it bigger, so that it would look more majestic. As such, the statue was shaped to be taller and taller, as well as bigger and bigger. Before he knew it, the statue was already as tall as the main entrance of the grand hall. In the end, it was almost as tall as the grand hall, and all the materials were finished.. Chapter 34 - A Celestial Caresses My Hair, and I Obtain Longevity Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Lin Feng was satisfied with the embryo of the sculpture in front of him. The basic shape of a human figure was done. The next step would be to slowly sculpt the details with the power of Wonder. Sculpting was different from molding. Molding was about one¡¯s stability and speed while being precise. On the other hand, sculpting required time to produce fine work. Lin Feng had to have a clear pattern in his mind before he started carving from the main body. Lin Feng kept pondering, and his mind instantly entered a world of meditation. He was pondering about his appearance in his original world, and the appearance that the sect master should have. As time flowed, a complete pattern appeared in his mind after some time. He opened his eyes, summoned the Sparrow in a Cage, and began the sculpting process. Lin Feng first sculpted the limbs and body parts, which included the fingers, palms, boots, the trousers on the legs, as well as the robe and belt on the upper body. Then he went on to finish the head, sculpting the face and hair. The figure of a tall man came to shape through Lin Feng¡¯s sculpting. However, this was just an ordinary figure, it could not be considered a sect master as it still lacked some aura. Lin Feng raised his head and looked at the tall man in front of him as he perfected the image of the sculpture he wanted to achieve in his mind. He rode his sword and flew into the air, controlling the Sparrow in a Cage to start filling in the details and polishing. As he did this, bit by bit, the statue gradually started to have some aura. At first, Lin Feng could only progress slowly. However, with the guidance of the power of Wonder, Lin Feng became more and more skilled. His painting techniques also became more and more refined. As he progressed, the statue in front of him grew to have an indescribable charm. At the same time, golden lotuses bloomed on the ground. Soon, the statue was drowned in a sea of golden lotuses. Unknowingly, Lin Feng had fallen into a state of obliviousness. He controlled the Sparrow in a Cage to fly in the air as it carved the statue. His arms waved along with the process and he was completely unable to extricate himself from the state. An unknown amount of time had passed when he finally stopped waving his arms and called the Sparrow in a Cage back. Lin Feng slowly landed on the ground before he turned his gaze to look at the tall and majestic statue in front of him. He was extremely amazed. The golden lotuses around the statue slowly dispersed. When the last golden lotus disappeared, the statue seemed to glow, emitting layers of golden light. After the golden light dispersed, the statue was finally considered complete. Lin Feng rode the Sparrow in a Cage into the air again, looking at the Statue of the Sect Master that was the spitting image of himself. Looking at the statue¡¯s eyes made him feel like he was looking at himself. He looked at the statue from every angle. It was the same as himself, exactly the same. This statue was lifelike, but it had a little more grandeur than a living person. Lin Feng found it unbelievable just by looking at it. ¡°I carved this?¡± He didn¡¯t even dare to believe it. He had done it himself, but even he felt that this statue was alive. Lin Feng felt a mysterious aura being transmitted from this statue. Lin Feng stood right opposite the statue and stared into the statue¡¯s eyes. Gradually, he felt that he had entered a mysterious realm that he couldn¡¯t explain. Lin Feng stood there in a daze, trying to find some consciousness. However, he only felt that his entire body and mind were at ease as if he was entirely empty. He felt like he was standing on a high mountain, or walking on flowing water. It was a feeling that he could not explain. Everything was spiritual, yet he was looking from within. Thus, he could feel the mysterious feeling, yet he couldn¡¯t comprehend its truth. Perhaps only a true divine being could understand the mystery, or perhaps his realm was not high enough to comprehend the truth. No matter what it was, it was not something the current Lin Feng could understand. He woke up from the mysterious feeling with some regret. Looking at the Statue of the Sect Master in front of him, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh in amazement, ¡°The Wonder of the system is indeed extraordinary.¡± Then came the most critical moment. Lin Feng took out the Sparrow in a Cage once more and came to the base of the statue. Then, he carved the words in a grid that he had saved earlier. ¡°The Green Sky Sect is surrounded by nine Dragon Spiritual Veins, spiritual springs surge from the ground, enjoying the blessings of Heaven and Earth. Millions of sects will come offer worship.¡± After Lin Feng finished carving the words, a golden light appeared on the words. After the golden light passed, a stream of power of Wonder was injected into them. In that instant, Heaven and Earth phenomenons occurred, and streams of spring-like spiritual energy gushed out of the statue. The spiritual energy gradually turned into seawater that flowed upstream, sparkling with colorful colors. The colorful seawater spiraled along the statue like countless rainbows, turning into a divine dragon in the nine heavens, hovering above the Green Sky Sect as if it were stepping on a sea of colorful clouds. Just as the divine dragon was about to cross the horizon, it gradually dissipated, turning into streams of clear spring water that gathered in the sky again. In the end, the streams converged into a kind-looking old man with white hair who was stroking his beard. Divine energy swirled around the old man, and his eyes revealed endless philosophies. ¡°Senior brother, Look! There¡¯s a divine being in the sky!¡± Hearing this, the disciples of the Green Sky Sect raised their heads to look up. Zhang Wanqing, who was guarding outside the main peak, was also staring at the divine being in the sky. She knew very well where this divine being had come from. After all, she had just witnessed the ocean-like spiritual energy gathering into a divine dragon that flew in the sky just minutes ago. The divine being was formed by the divine dragon. ¡°Is this the work of senior brother again?¡± The divine being in the sky waved his hand, and countless spiritual energies poured down like raindrops. Then, the divine being revealed an auspicious smile, before disappearing into the sky along with the drizzle of spiritual energy. The raindrops fell on the grounds of the Green Sky Sect, turning into a thick fog that drifted in the air. Lin Feng looked around on the ground, but he didn¡¯t feel any change. ¡°Is that all?¡± Soon, the Green Sky Sect was engulfed in a thick layer of fog. The fog drifted along the mountains and forests of the Green Sky Sect, as well as within the sect. Lin Feng waved his hand in an attempt to disperse the fog, but he couldn¡¯t even see three feet ahead of himself. He only felt that the thick fog was ethereal as it shimmered with colorful light and was accompanied by a fragrant and charming aura. It made him feel intoxicated as if he was strolling in a fairyland. When the fog dispersed, Lin Feng could finally see his surroundings clearly. He was still standing in the same spot, but everything felt different. The surrounding spiritual energy had become abundant, in contrast with its original exhaustion. The spiritual energy that could only be felt when one calmed one¡¯s heart was now rich and dense, making it so even if didn¡¯t calm his heart to feel it, Lin Feng could still feel the flow of the spiritual energy clearly. Lin Feng closed his eyes to enjoy the fullness brought by the rich spiritual energy. It made him feel as if he had endless strength. Lin Feng took a deep breath of the spiritual energy in the air, feeling the response in his body. The concentration of spiritual energy in the sect was unprecedentedly dense. At this moment, he knew that the second Wonder was complete.. Chapter 35 - Divine Fog of Spiritual Essence, Breakthrough to the Black Core Realm Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The disciples of the Green Sky Sect witnessed the divine being in the sky turn into a drizzle that fell to the sect. Then, they watched in a daze as the drizzle turned into a fog that engulfed the mountains and forests. The fog lingered around them, making the disciples feel like they were in a fairyland. Wu Long and Jiang Hanzhang were still familiarizing themselves with the environment of the Green Sky Sect with the help of their senior brother. However, they almost lost their minds because of the fog fairyland. Fortunately, Nan Mending made them come to their senses just in time, preventing them from going crazy. ¡°Senior brother, where are we?¡± ¡°We should still be in the Green Sky Sect.¡± ¡°Then what¡¯s with the divine fog? Could it be that we have come to a fairyland?¡± ¡°It should be caused by the sect master. Every time the sect master makes a move in the sect, a phenomenon will appear. This time should be no exception.¡± After listening to Nan Mending¡¯s explanation, Wu Long and Jiang Hanzhang were slightly relieved. Even so, they were still shocked by the scene in front of them where the divine being had transformed into a divine fog pervading the air. If they were not fortunate enough to have become disciples of the sect, they would probably have never had the chance to see such a phenomenon for their whole lives. Just as the disciples indulged themselves in the divine fog, the fog gradually lifted. With a gentle breeze, the fog dissipated. The disciples who were still immersed in the fairyland were disappointed. As the fog disappeared, dense spiritual energy gathered in the Green Sky Sect. Jiang Hanzhang, who had been lost a moment ago, immediately reverted to her cheerful self. ¡°How¡­ how can the density of the spiritual energy here be so pure?¡± Wu Long, who was standing beside Jiang Hanzhang, also sensed the rich spiritual energy. The logic was that as long as one had the corresponding magic formation, one could improve the quality of the spiritual energy within a certain range. Such was the case with the sword platform back at Wu Long¡¯s house that could improve the quality of the spiritual energy in the area. Even so, the formations could usually only improve the quality of the spiritual energy within a certain range by one or two folds. But now, the quality of the spiritual energy in the Green Sky Sect was more than ten folds improved as compared to previously, which was beyond Wu Long¡¯s comprehension. Let alone Wu Long, even Jiang Hanzhang could see the spiritual energy surging toward them like a tide. There were no impurities in the spiritual energy and it was extremely concentrated. Even she had never seen such spiritual essence before. She had witnessed how the spiritual essence had soared to the sky and how the Sword Dao Fate had surrounded the sect previously, and she had noticed how the spiritual essence of the Sword Dao Fate was dazzling. However, that spiritual essence had only existed for an instant. But now, boundless spiritual essence surrounded the Green Sky Sect, and the surrounding spiritual energy was abundant and dense. The Green Sky Sect was already blessed with endless Sword Dao Fate, yet it now had abundant and dense spiritual energy as well. One couldn¡¯t help but wonder what were the next surprises in store for them from the Green Sky Sect? As the dense spiritual energy filled the entire Green Sky Sect, the disciples immersed themselves in the blessing of the boundless spiritual energy. With this, the disciples all sat where they initially stood and started absorbing the spiritual energy in cultivation. Su Ritian and Li Liangchen, who had been focusing on their cultivation, were in the beginner stage of the Origin Building Realm, only two levels away from Lin Feng. They were the two most talented and powerful disciples of the Green Sky sect. During this period, they had been blessed by the Sword Dao Fate, so they had progressed quickly in the cultivation of Sword Dao. However, their cultivation realms hadn¡¯t improved much. Zhang Wanqing had pointed out that their cultivation realms were unstable, making it so they couldn¡¯t use 100% of their strength even though they had reached such a realm. They couldn¡¯t even utilize one-tenth of their strength smoothly. This had dealt a great blow to Su Ritian and Li Liangchen, and as such, they had been absorbing spiritual energy to enrich their cultivation realms for the past few days. Today, the two of them had sensed that something was strange outside, so they opened the door to see what was going on. As soon as the door was opened, spiritual energy that was completely different from before rushed in, and the rich and pure spiritual energy poured into their bodies. The two of them immediately felt the spiritual energy in their bodies was increasing with each breath they took. With this, the two immediately sat with their hands folded before them. They held their breath and concentrated, feeling the gift of spiritual energy. In that instant, both of them had a breakthrough. A golden light flashed across their bodies, and their cultivation realms rose from the beginner stage of the Origin Building Realm to the intermediate stage. The two were ecstatic, but they did not stop cultivating. Zhang Wanqing¡¯s words kept echoing in their minds, ¡°If one¡¯s cultivation realm is weak, one won¡¯t even be able to use a tenth of one¡¯s strength.¡± It was not until their realm was stable that the two slowly stood up. With a glance at each other, they knew what the other party was thinking. The two walked out of the room together, wanting to see the scene outside. The disciples outside had all gained something. Many of them had enriched their realms and were only one step away from a breakthrough. Some even directly broke through. The most eye-catching among the disciples were the three new disciples. Wu Long and Jiang Hanzhang had broken through past the Condensing Reality Realm and reached the beginner stage of the Origin Building Realm. As for Qing Yun who had the Crystal Clear Sword Heart, his gains were even more astonishing. Having just entered the Qi Gathering Realm, he had directly broken through to the beginner stage of the Condensing Reality Realm, which meant he had just skipped an entire realm. When everyone saw Qing Yun¡¯s advancement, their jaws dropped. He had just become a Qi cultivator a few days ago and had just entered the gates to cultivating, yet he had already reached the Qi Gathering Realm in just a few days. And now he had done something even more terrifying: He had skipped the entire Qi Gathering Realm and reached the Condensing Reality Realm in one go. Was this the benefit of the Crystal Clear Sword Heart? On the other side, after injecting the power of Wonders into the statue, Lin Feng also felt the changes brought about by the phenomenon. Feeling the rich spiritual energy and essence, Lin Feng naturally would not let go of this opportunity to break through in cultivation. After his body absorbed the spiritual energy, he suddenly had an epiphany. In the instant he turned around, he had broken through from the advanced stage of the Origin Building Realm to the beginner stage of the Black Core Realm. The tiredness in his body instantly disappeared. He could only feel that he was full of energy from the inside out. Both his perception and the rich spiritual energy in his body had grown one round larger as compared to previously. Sure enough, the feeling after breaking through was completely different. Now, he felt that he could clearly sense the flow and direction of the spiritual energy. His body was also much stronger than before. Not only that, Lin Feng also found something special. After he broke through, no spiritual energy in his body had been lost. Moreover, due to the enrichment of the spiritual energy in his body, his current realm had been stabilized. Now, not only could he fully display the strength he had, he could even break through again at any time. Upon noticing this, Lin Feng was delighted. With this, he didn¡¯t have to spend more time consolidating the foundation of his realm. As such, the speed of his realm advancement would always be one step ahead of others, while at the same time, the rapid advancement of his realm wouldn¡¯t cause his strength to be unstable. At the same time, the Sparrow in a Cage that was in his body had absorbed a trace of golden aura from the Statue of the Sect Master. After the aura entered the Sparrow in a Cage, it nourished the luster of the sword. Lin Feng could see that the Sparrow in a Cage had become sharper and was morelustrouss than before. However, other than that, there didn¡¯t seem to be any changes. ??? Chapter 36 - Junior Sister Breaking Through to the Black Core Realm Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio This time, almost all of the inner sect disciples had broken through. Although Ming Yuxuan and Wu Mingyu had awakened their natal flying sword during the last phenomenon, they hadn¡¯t broken through to the next realm because they had been busy with sect affairs and taking care of the mineral veins. Even Nan Mending who was the least gifted inner sect disciple had broken through to the beginner stage of the Origin Building Realm last time, but the two were still lingering around the advanced stage of the Condensing Reality Realm. This time around, the spiritual energy that they had been lacking had finally been made up with the rich spiritual energy, and they broke through to the beginner stage of the Origin Building Realm. The two of them were so delighted that they quickly ran to Nan Mending to show off. They just happened to bump into Su Ritian and Li Liangchen. Seeing that the two had already reached the intermediate stage of the Origin Building Realm, they were not surprised. Su Ritian and Li Liangchen were the two most talented among all the disciples. Since even themselves who had neglected in cultivating could advance to the Origin Building Realm, it was only natural for Su Ritian and Li Liangchen to have advanced to the intermediate stage since they were already in the Origin Building Realm in the first place. However, they never expected that Nan Mending, who had just advanced to the Origin Building Realm not long ago, had also advanced to the intermediate stage of the Origin Building Realm. Even the new junior brothers and junior sister had reached the Origin Building Realm. Thus, the two who had wanted to show off to Nan Mending could only sigh and shake their heads as they lamented about the fact that they had neglected their cultivation. The sect master was right, only by persevering could one stand out. Wu Long looked at the spiritual energy and Sword Dao Fate that filled the sky. As a sword addict, he tried to feel the flow of the Sword Dao Fate. The self in his heart flowed along with the flow of the Sword Dao Fate. The Fate seemed to have sensed his existence and approached him bit by bit. In just an instant, a streak of Sword Qi shot into the sky from Wu Long¡¯s body. Wu Long¡¯s eyes trembled as he broke through in the Sword Dao and his natal flying sword appeared flying in the air in front of him. ¡°Congratulations to junior brother for breaking through the sword intent and becoming a true sword cultivator.¡± Wu Long was so happy that he flew up into the sky when he saw his natal flying sword. ¡°This must be the sect master¡¯s handiwork again.¡± Dongfang Yuanzhong walked over in high spirits from afar. It was very obvious that he had also broken through. ¡°Could it be that the abnormal phenomena from before and today were all the sect master¡¯s handiwork?¡± This question had been in Wu Long¡¯s heart for a long time, thus when he saw an opportunity to ask, he did so frankly. ¡°That¡¯s right, it was the same for the previous two times. There was suddenly a strange phenomenon, then everyone had a breakthrough in their cultivation or comprehension.¡± ¡°The sect master is so godly,¡± Jiang Hanzhang, who was listening at the side, tried her best to hide the surprise on her face. The spiritual essence and Sword Dao Fate here were both of a richness unseen to her. She originally thought that after breaking through, the spiritual energy would be completely depleted, but on the contrary, not only did the spiritual energy in her body not been lost, but it was still very abundant. She was extremely shocked. Zhang Wanqing was equally shocked. Zhang Wanqing had witnessed the entire process of the abnormal phenomenon. From the spiritual essence that was like a tidal wave rising up into the sky, transforming into a dragon into the clouds, the disappearance of the dragon and the appearance of the divine being, the divine being turning into rain with a wave of his hand, to the spiritual essence emerging from the rain and fog fairyland. The shock was imaginable. Other than that, after she found that the spiritual energy had become abundant, she had gone to the inner residence of the disciples to check on their changes, worried that their spiritual energy would be depleted when they made the breakthrough. After making sure that there was no one had insufficient spiritual energy, then only did she go back to the main peak to wait for her senior brother to come out. During the wait, she could also feel the abundance of the spiritual energy, and she broke through from the Origin Building Realm to the Black Core Realm. When she broke through to the Black Core Realm, Zhang Wanqing summoned her natal flying sword to cultivate with her. She didn¡¯t know how long the abundant spiritual energy would last, so she wanted to take this opportunity to cultivate more. When the East Sun Sect had sent people to attack previously, she and the disciples had been powerless. If it were not for her senior brother¡¯s utmost efforts in turning the tides, she would have had a hard time fighting against the elders alone. Since she had a chance to break through and improve this time, she would take this opportunity to consolidate her cultivation and would not let this rare opportunity pass her by. Zhang Wanqing greedily absorbed the spiritual energy in the air. The cultivation was going smoothly initially, but she had distracting thoughts in her mind. Thoughts of the East Sun Sect, the sect¡¯s rank assessment, Lin Feng, and his actions flew through her mind. When she thought of Lin Feng, she even felt somewhat shy. Zhang Wanqing had no choice but to give up on cultivating. Although she had already made a breakthrough, her mind was unstable. It was not suitable for her to continue cultivating at the moment as she could very well go crazy in the process. Zhang Wanqing looked in the direction of the main peak and frowned slightly. There were some confusion and nervousness in her eyes. She did not know what Lin Feng was doing now, all she knew was that whatever he was doing, he was doing it for the sect. Although Lin Feng usually looked carefree and light-hearted, Zhang Wanqing was very aware that he was always thinking about how to protect his sect from being bullied and how to become stronger. This was also her responsibility, but she did not fulfill her responsibilities well. In the past, Lin Feng had always held back, but now, he dared to face difficulties head-on. To be honest, she admired the current Lin Feng more. After Lin Feng had completed his breakthrough, he looked at the Statue of the Sect Master in front of him. Since the entire statue had been completed, he was wondering if he should let the disciples come and see it? Looking at the Statue of the Sect Master that he had personally carved, Lin Feng was very satisfied. After all, it was a statue of himself, all divine-like, dignified and magnificent. With a thought, Lin Feng activated the VoiceTransmission Technique that all cultivators knew. The number of people who could receive a voiced transmission depended entirely on the cultivation of the cultivator. Those at the Condensing Reality Realm could only transmit their voice to one person, while those at the Origin Building Realm could reach ten at a time. One had to reach the Black Core Realm to use the Voice Transmission Technique on a hundred people at the same time. Thus, the over two hundred disciples of the Green Sky Sect received Lin Feng¡¯s voice transmission at the same time. ¡°Disciples of the Green Sky Sect, listen to my order. Gather in front of the Green Sky Grand Hall on the main peak.¡± ¡°Disciples of the Green Sky Sect, listen to my order. Gather in front of the Green Sky Grand Hall on the main peak.¡± ¡°Disciples of the Green Sky Sect, listen to my order. Gather in front of the Green Sky Grand Hall on the main peak.¡± After he passed the order three times, Lin Feng smiled cheerfully as he returned to the Grand Hall and found a chair to sit on. He waited while drinking tea. It wasn¡¯t until all the disciples came to the Grand Hall that they noticed the tall and magnificent statue in front of the Grand Hall. The magnificent Wonder was the statue of the sect master himself. It looked so lifelike that the disciples could feel its mystical divineness as if it was a divine being from the sky. ¡°The Statue of the Sect Master looks very much like the legendary divine being.¡± ¡°Our sect master is not much different from that divine being.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true, that¡¯s true.¡± ¡°Hurray to the mighty sect master, long live the Green Sky Sect!¡± Looking at the disciples laughing and playing, Lin Feng felt quite pleased. Jiang Hanzhang, on the other hand, was quite knowledgeable and didn¡¯t join in on the excitement. She could feel that something was different, but she couldn¡¯t tell what it was, which made her very depressed. At this time, someone noticed the words carved under the Statue of the Sect Master. ¡°I told you that the phenomenon this time was the sect master¡¯s doing. Come and take a look.¡± Everyone was shocked after seeing the words. It was indeed the sect master¡¯s handiwork. Although they didn¡¯t know how the sect master did it, it didn¡¯t hide the fact that everything that had happened was simply amazing. Seeing that all the disciples¡¯ strength had increased, Lin Feng nodded to himself. It seemed that his choice was correct.. Chapter 37 - The Sects Great Formation Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio All the disciples came to the Grand Hall to admire Lin Feng¡¯s carving of the Wonder. After breaking through, Zhang Wanqing also came to the Grand Hall. After seeing the statue that looked exactly like her senior brother, she couldn¡¯t help but shake her head. When she walked into the Grand Hall and noticed her senior brother who was sitting at the side, Zhang Wanqing widened her eyes shocked. After a short moment of surprise, she let it go. Even she had broken through, it was only natural that Lin Feng, her senior brother, had broken through as well. Zhang Wanqing walked towards Lin Feng. Lin Feng had been observing the disciples¡¯ reaction towards the sculpture. He was quite engrossed in doing so that he did not notice that his junior sister had arrived at the Grand Hall. ¡°Junior sister, you¡¯re here.¡± With a flash of inspiration, Lin Feng circulated his spiritual energy to make it collide with his junior sister¡¯s spiritual energy. The minute the two waves of spiritual energy collided, Zhang Wanqing¡¯s brows were tightly knitted together with a trace of disbelief. Although both Lin Feng and she were at the beginner stage of the Black Core Realm, Lin Feng¡¯s spiritual energy was very dense while hers was weak and could not withstand his full-strength attack at all. Fortunately, Lin Feng was only testing her slightly and did not use his full strength. Following this, Lin Feng withdrew his spiritual energy, feeling very satisfied with his strength and quite proud. Zhang Wanqing withdrew her spiritual energy as well, looking at Lin Feng expressionlessly. Her senior brother was really unfathomable, making it so that people could not see through him. If it was possible, Zhang Wanqing would do her best so that she wouldn¡¯t be enemies with Lin Feng in this lifetime. After all, one couldn¡¯t win against a person that one could never surpass. Lin Feng came to the front of the Grand Hall and called all the disciples over. He warned them not to slack off on their cultivation just because their cultivation had advanced. After all, if they slacked off on their cultivation because of this, the result would definitely not be worth it. He also told them that now that they had a certain level of strength, it was time for them to go down the mountain for adventure. When the disciples heard this, they were overjoyed. The last time Dongfang Yuanzhong came back from his adventure with the sect master and the others, he had told them about the matters along the way. When they heard the stories, they were all filled with envy. To raise their swords to subdue demons, eliminate violence, uphold peace, and maintain the well-being of the people was the dream of every young man. Such was also the motive for many to have come up the mountain to cultivate. They had long yearned to go down the mountain for adventure. Getting what they had been yearning for, the disciples looked at Lin Feng with even more respect and awe. Lin Feng handed a list to his junior sister. She looked at the list and saw that the items on it were almost the same as what he had wanted previously, with the addition of a few more rare materials. It was the list of materials to forge the second stage of the Statue of the Sect Master. Someone pointed at the huge statue in the square and asked Lin Feng what it was. Lin Feng explained that this was the sect¡¯s Heaven and Earth Great Formation passed down by their patriarch. The reason behind the dense spiritual energy surrounding the sect today was thanks to this formation. The Jade Heavenly Long Sword from before was also a formation. Lin Feng was honest with his sect¡¯s disciples. After all, there would be many more phenomena in the future, and it would be unrealistic to try to hide them all, so he might as well be open and clear about it. The reason why the sect¡¯s spiritual energy could be improved was because of the improvement of the sect¡¯s Great Formation. Now that the sect was in lack of materials needed for the Great Formation¡¯s improvement, the effect of the improvement would not be obvious. To complete the sect¡¯s Heaven and Earth Great Formation, Lin Feng hoped that the disciples would go down the mountain to search for materials to complete the sect¡¯s Great Formation while they were on their adventures. Lin Feng had thought about this for a long time. It was unrealistic to rely on himself alone or the sect¡¯s treasury, and it wasn¡¯t like he could keep waiting for a pie to fall from the sky. The materials needed for the Wonders were endless. If they did not find ways to gather the materials themselves, they would sooner or later ¡°starve¡± to death. That was why he thought of this move, to make the disciples look for materials while on their adventures. This way, while refining their strength on their adventures, the disciples had a clear goal, and at the same time could help fill in the gaps in the resources. Such an arrangement would only bring benefits to the development of the sect and no disadvantages. Looking at the lifelike Statue of the Sect Master in front of them, the disciples couldn¡¯t help but sigh with amazement in their hearts. They didn¡¯t expect the Green Sky Sect to have such a powerful backup plan. Just the Jade Heavenly Long Sword and the Statue of the Sect Master had already brought an inexhaustible amount of spiritual energy and Sword Dao Fate to the sect, allowing them to improve their strength by leaps and bounds. If they could complete the sect¡¯s Great Formation, wouldn¡¯t they be invincible? ¡°Disciples, listen up. Go down the mountain and search for the materials needed to refine the formation. The day the Great Formation is completed will be the day the Green Sky Sect will be established among the ten thousand sects.¡± Zhang Wanqing, who was standing at the side, was shocked when she heard this, ¡°Senior brother, do you mean it?¡± ¡°Of course. When have I ever lied to you?¡± If it was the old Lin Feng who had said this, she wouldn¡¯t have believed him, but towards the current Lin Feng, she firmly believed in his words. Not only her, but the disciples below her felt the same as well. After all, they had witnessed what had happened during this period. When they learned the so-called truth, they could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts. They also firmly believed that the day their sect would be established among the ten thousand sects would come, thus they stepped forward, willing to contribute their strength for such a cause. Lin Feng looked at the enthusiastic disciples in front of him and felt very gratified in his heart. However, he was starting to have a headache as he couldn¡¯t send all of them out at the same time. He could only send one or two teams at a time out, which required him to have a complete plan. He would have to discuss it with his junior sister later. The first stage of the Statue of the Sect Master could be considered to have been completed. Its effect was also very significant. However, the amount of spiritual energy needed to advance past realms would increase as the realms of the disciples advanced as well. With the more than two hundred disciples in the sect, the current spiritual energy level was still not enough. Lin Feng was very clear about the effects provided by the Statue of the Sect Master. With this, he did not need to consider the problem of the depletion of spiritual energy that his junior sister had been worried about. The spiritual energy was abundant now, but that was only in terms of slow cultivation. If they wanted to win in the sect¡¯s rank assessment coming soon, they had to work harder. Moreover, he had just dealt with the people from the East Sun Sect not long ago. He also had to take precautions in case they came for revenge later. Therefore, at this stage, what he needed to do was to complete the second stage of the Statue of the Sect Master as soon as possible. Lin Feng had his junior sister lead people to give a copy of the rare materials list needed in the second stage to each disciple. After confirming that each disciple had a copy, Lin Feng announced that they could go down the mountain for adventure. The most important task was to find all the materials on the list. At this time, he looked at Jiang Hanzhang who was standing at the front of the crowd. Seeing that she was seriously studying the materials on the list, he was relieved. In Lin Feng¡¯s heart, Jiang Hanzhang was the student who was most likely to find all the materials among this group of people. Lin Feng was now already at the peak of the beginner stage of the Black Core Realm. As long as he completed the second stage of the Statue of the Sect Master, he would be able to break through to the intermediate stage of the Black Core Realm, or even to the advanced stage. Lin Feng did not know how many Black Core Realm cultivators there were in Longyan County. He guessed that since the grand elder of the East Sun Sect was at the advanced stage of the Origin Building Realm, the East Sun Sect¡¯s sect master should be at the Black Core Realm. Since they were both at the Black Core Realm, Lin Feng who was merely in the beginner stage would not have much of a chance of winning. If he wanted to increase his chances of winning, he had to increase his cultivation realm.. Chapter 38 - Qing Yun Encounters Enemies, "Wipeout Unfairness" Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Since Lin Feng had allowed the disciples to go down the mountain for adventures, there were naturally many who came to ask him requesting to leave now. At first, it was quite a headache for Lin Feng as there were simply too many disciples who wanted to leave for adventure. Following this, his junior sister analyzed that the number of guards could be decreased from what they had originally arranged due to the increase in the overall strength of the Green Sky Sect. She also stated that since the disciples had never gone down the mountain for adventure, it was a good opportunity to let them go out and see the world, and prevent their cultivation from being affected by their impatience. Hearing his junior sister¡¯s words, Lin Feng allowed a few more teams to leave. He arranged for the inner sect disciples who had gone on an adventure with him preciously lead the disciples that were going down the mountain for adventure. The disciples were very interested in the sect¡¯s Great Formation and wanted to see what it would be like after it was upgraded. Therefore, they were thinking of ways to fill in the resources that the sect lacked. The disciples who had heard of how Lin Feng and the others had gone to the Dragon Shadow Pavilion to complete a mission in exchange for resources also wanted to try to complete the Dragon Shadow Pavilion¡¯s mission on their own. Among them, Su Ritian and Li Liangchen were the representatives. Some felt that the materials on the list looked familiar and wanted to go down the mountain to try looking for them, among these disciples were Nan Mending and Ming Yuxuan. Xiaowu had to guard the mineral vein, so he did not come along. As an outer sect disciple, Dongfang Yuanzhong wanted to learn more by staying at Lin Feng¡¯s side, thus he did not participate in the adventure teams as well. As for Wu Long, he planned to make a trip home. He could use his family connections to find the materials. Originally, Lin Feng had wanted to ask Jiang Hanzhang for help, but she stated that she did not want to leave her master (that is, the sect master), and was not planning on leaving the mountain. Now that Wu Long could go, it was also good enough, though the efficacy was definitely not as good as Jiang Hanzhang¡¯s. After all, Wu Long could only mobilize the people of the Wu Family Sword Tomb, while Jiang Hanzhang should be able to mobilize people of an even higher status. After Jiang Hanzhang had witnessed the phenomenon, she had been clamoring to become Lin Feng¡¯s personal disciple. Lin Feng had no choice but to take her in as she wished, after all, she was not someone he could afford to offend right now. As there were too many teams and too few inner sect disciples, thus some teams without inner sect disciples were only allowed to move around the foot of the mountain or a relatively safe fixed route. This made the teams without inner sect disciples feel disappointed. However, they felt a bit better when they thought that they could at least leave the mountain. Therefore, after the teams were formed, the disciples left the mountain team by team and headed in the direction of their destination, leaving the Green Sky Sect behind. The teams with inner sect disciples rode on their swords toward Longyan County or the spots in their memories. Wu Long rode on his sword as well as he headed home. As for the teams without inner sect disciples, since they were only allowed to go buy some daily products of the sect, there was naturally no need for them to ride on their flying swords. Qing Yun followed such a small group down the mountain. He had just joined the sect not too long ago, and he had lived at the foot of the mountain before that, thus he was naturally more familiar with the environment at the foot of the mountain than the other senior brothers and sisters who had always stayed on the mountain. That was why he was specially included during their trip down the mountain this time. On the way down the mountain, Qing Yun heard a strange noise and immediately signaled to his senior brothers to be quiet. This being the first time that his senior brothers had left the mountain, they naturally listened to him. Qing Yun followed the noise and looked toward a small path not far away, and saw a few people in cultivation uniforms sneaking around. These people weren¡¯t wearing the cultivation uniforms of the Green Sky Sect, the patterns looked like those of some other sect. But if they were people from another sect coming to the Green Sky Sect, why would they hide and take the small path instead of walking on the wide mountain path? Qing Yun didn¡¯t know those clothes, but the others did. Those people were all wearing the clothes of the East Sun Sect. These senior brothers could recognize the clothes because they were all present when the East Sun Sect had come previously to make fun of the Green Sky Sect. On top of that, judging from their clothes, it seemed that they were the personal disciples of the East Sun Sect since the edges and patterns of their clothes were much more exquisite than the ones before. Moreover, all of them were in the Condensing Reality Realm. Although there were quite several Condensing Reality Realm cultivators, their strength was not considered weak among the various sects. After all, those who could reach the Origin Building Realm could already be considered to be quite strong in Longyan County. Take Wu Long for example. Wu Long¡¯s talent was not bad, otherwise, he would not have comprehended the half-step sword intent. His father, Wu Haotian, had used all kinds of precious resources on Wu Long since he was young. In addition, the Wu Family had the help of the Sword Tomb, which allowed Wu Long to reach the advanced stage of the Condensing Reality Realm. Apart from a few Black Core Realm experts, those at the Origin Building Realm could do whatever they wanted in Longyan County. Since these people were personal disciples at the Condensing Reality Realm, they must be talented people with a certain level of strength. Now that the members of both sides were equally in the Condensing Reality Realm, the disciples of the Green Sky Sect were the least bit afraid. With the support of Lin Feng, the disciples of the Green Sky Sect were more or less quite proud. Before Qing Yun could say anything, one of his senior brothers jumped out and raised his sword as he questioned the disciples of the East Sun Sect, ¡°This is the territory of the Green Sky Sect. What are you doing here? Are you here to harm the Green Sky Sect?¡± With whatever the East Sun Sect had done previously, it was only given that the disciples of the Green Sky Sect would be nasty in that face of those from the East Sun Sect. ¡°Yo, are all the disciples of the Green Sky Sect slandering others like this now?¡± ¡°Leave the territory of the Green Sky Sect as soon as possible; otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for making a move,¡± The senior brother seemed to have been angered by the other party¡¯s words and was trying to chase them away. ¡°Look, we were just passing by here, but you Green Sky Sect disciples just appeared out of nowhere and cursed at us. With such an evil attitude, it would be terrible if you were to leave the mountains in the future. Wouldn¡¯t you be going about harming the ordinary people around?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t slander us! The East Sun Sect is the one who has committed the most heinous crimes.¡± ¡°Are the disciples of the Green Sky Sect all so overbearing now? Not only did you hurl hurtful words at us, but you don¡¯t even allow us to pass by here. Why? It¡¯s probably because the Green Sky Sect is doing some shady business and doesn¡¯t want others to know about it, right?¡± Hearing the people of the East Sun Sect slander them continuously, the senior brother couldn¡¯t stand it any longer. He raised his sword and was about to go up and teach them a lesson. The few senior brothers who were behind him couldn¡¯t stand it any longer either, thus they also went forwards, wanting to teach these guys who had nothing nice to say a lesson. However, the disciples of the East Sun Sect took out a blowdart and blew flying needles at the Green Sky Sect disciples while they were not paying attention. The few senior brothers who were hit by the flying needles instantly felt their limbs go soft. When Qing Yun saw that the situation was going in a sour direction, he called out his flying sword, ¡°Wipeout Unfairness¡±, which was the name Lin Feng gave his sword. He flew out on his flying sword and caught the opponents off guard. Qing Yun relied on the ability of Wipeout Unfairness to transform into sword intent to split it into dozens of flying swords falling from the sky. The disciples of the East Sun Sect thought that they had succeeded in their sneak attack and had let their guard down, but little did they know that the wolf has a winning game when the shepherds quarrel. Qing Yun¡¯s split sword intent heavily injured the disciples of the East Sun Sect with lightning-fast attacks. After being hit, the other party did not resist. Instead, they fled in panic. Seeing that his opponents had fled in panic, Qing Yun did not chase after them and brought his senior brothers back to the mountain.. Chapter 39 - Qing Yun Fell For the Trap, The East Sun Sect Attacks Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qing Yun brought his senior brothers back to the mountain. After Zhang Wanqing checked on them, she found that they were safe and sound, not hurt at all. Qing Yun felt that something was off, thus, he returned to the place where the battle had happened. He searched for the flying needles blown out by the disciples of the East Sun Sect on the ground. Qing Yun carefully brought the flying needles back to the Green Sky Sect and looked for one of his senior sisters who was an expert in medicine to check on them. He found that instead of poison, the flying needles only had a small amount of anesthetic that would only make their targets temporarily lose their mobility. Qing Yun recalled everything that had happened during the battle. At first, only one senior brother had gone forward to confront the disciples of the East Sun Sect. When the other senior brothers who were initially hidden suddenly appeared, the other party seemed to have known all along and took out a blowdart to attack the senior brothers. But when Qing Yun went forward alone, the other party seemed to be unprepared and escaped with injuries. The whole event was just strange. The more Qingyun thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, thus he told Lin Feng about it. After hearing the whole story, Lin Feng asked Qing Yun three questions. ¡°Was the path they took hidden?¡± ¡°Not really, it was just that no one would take that path normally.¡± ¡°How strong were they?¡± ¡°They were on par with me and senior brothers, at the Condensing Reality Realm.¡± ¡°What kind of clothes were they wearing?¡± ¡°They were wearing the clothes of the East Sun Sect. Senior brother could even tell from their clothes that they were personal disciples.¡± Lin Feng thought about Qing Yun¡¯s answers and also felt that this matter was very strange. Not long ago, Lin Feng had just killed the grand elder of the East Sun Sect who had come to stir up trouble. Logically speaking, they had suffered a setback and should be recuperating for the time being. ¡°Qing Yun, let me ask you another question.¡± ¡°Sect master, please do. I will tell you everything I know.¡± ¡°Did they say what they are here for?¡± ¡°They didn¡¯t, they just said they were passing by.¡± Passing by¡­ ¡°Did you hurt them?¡± ¡°The situation then was looking bad so I used my flying sword. The disciples of the East Sun Sect should have been more or less severely injured.¡± The disciples of the East Sun Sect passed by the Green Sky Sect for no reason, with blowing needles on them. They had come prepared, yet they didn¡¯t try to hide. When asked why were they in the territory of the Green Sky Sect, they said they were only passing by. On top of that, it was strange for Qing Yun to have been able to injure his opponent so easily. Lin Feng recalled the grand elder¡¯s teasing attitude when he came to the sect, and he smiled disdainfully. While shaking his head, he said with a mocking smile, ¡°What a sect that doesn¡¯t learn from its mistakes.¡± Lin Feng had already understood the purpose of the East Sun Sect, and he asked someone to call Zhang Wanqing over. He then explained to Qing Yun, ¡°The East Sun Sect just wants to use this opportunity to make a move.¡± The East Sun Sect didn¡¯t know the true strength of the Green Sky Sect. They had always suppressed the Green Sky Sect and bullied them. Now that they had lost more than a hundred people, including two elders, they definitely wouldn¡¯t let the matter rest. However, the East Sun Sect was also the leading sect in Longyan County. If they attacked another sect for no particular reason, it would be detrimental to the reputation of the East Sun Sect, which was why they used such an unorthodox move. With this, not only could they attack the Green Sky Sect in a justified manner, but they could also have an excuse to find some helpers. After Lin Feng finished explaining, his face turned slightly solemn, and a trace of worry appeared in his heart. All the inner sect disciples of the Green Sky Sect had been sent out to look for resources, and only Jiang Hanzhang, Xiaowu, and Dongfang Yuanzhong remained in the sect, the others were all disciples in the Condensing Reality Realm. Although all of them had awakened their natal flying swords except Jiang Hanzhang, the disciples hadn¡¯t really left the mountain for adventures, so it was a given they didn¡¯t have enough combat experience. If the battle between the two sects were to commence now, with only three of them in the Origin Building Realm, the Green Sky Sect would be at a slight disadvantage. Learning that he had caused trouble, Qing Yun was terrified as he quickly apologized and asked the sect master to hand him over to the East Sun Sect. He stated that he would take responsibility for his actions, and if worst came to worst, he would use his life to apologize to the East Sun Sect. Lin Feng quickly helped him up. Seeing how responsible Qing Yun was, Lin Feng was very satisfied. He comforted Qing Yun that this matter had nothing to do with him. After all, there were many grudges between the Green Sky Sect and the East Sun Sect, to begin with. Besides, Lin Feng had just killed the grand elder of the East Sun Sect who had come to stir up trouble. Thus, the East Sun Sect was simply trying to find an excuse to make a move. Even if Qing Yun realized the trap and hadn¡¯t made the move, the East Sun Sect might use other reasons to attack the Green Sky Sect anyway. Hearing Lin Feng¡¯s words, Qing Yun felt better. He knew that he couldn¡¯t control what was going to happen next, so he stayed by Lin Feng¡¯s side quietly. At this moment, Zhang Wanqing walked in. Lin Feng told the whole story to his junior sister. Then he asked for her opinion. ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any need to worry about this,¡± Zhang Wanqing looked at Lin Feng expressionlessly and he gestured for her to continue. ¡°The only reason the East Sun Sect has been able to act so tyrannically in Longyan County all these years is that their sect master is at the Black Core Realm and knows a few experts of the same realm.¡± There were very few cultivators at the Black Core Realm in Longyan County. The sect master of the East Sun Sect was the first to enter the Black Core Realm and had now reached the intermediate stage. Besides the sect master of the East Sun Sect, there were also some hidden experts of the East Sun Sect who were also in the Black Core Realm, though they were a stage lower than the sect master. Together with the sect master, they formed the strongest fighting force of the East Sun Sect. Usually, these few people hid in the shadows, and only came out to work when the sect master needed them. It was already good enough for the other sects to have one Black Core Realm cultivator, let alone forming a fighting force with a few. It was precisely because of this that the East Sun Sect had always been fearless. ¡°However, the situation has changed now. All the disciples of the Green Sky Sect are sword cultivators, and thus can defeat opponents of the same realm. Moreover, you and I are both in the Black Core Realm. Even if the other party comes attacking, they might not be in the advantage.¡± At this moment, the sky of the Green Sky Sect was shrouded in darkness. The few figures in the sky appeared particularly dark under the sunlight. There were a total of fifteen figures that were constantly emitting a strong aura. Along with the aura, the dark clouds in the sky blotted out the blueness of the sky. It seemed that it was going to rain, and with the sound of rumbling thunder, heavy rain fell. At this moment, the disciples of the Green Sky Sect on the ground discovered the figures in the sky. Many disciples looked up at the sky in the rain, trying to see who the figures in the sky were. There were initially only thirteen figures in the sky, yet in an instant, a whole crowd appeared in the sky. Stacked together, those human figures blotted out that last ray of light, plunging the entire Green Sky Sect in darkness, without a trace of light. The disciples on the ground realized that something was wrong and hurried to call Lin Feng and the others over. Standing in the courtyard, Lin Feng and his junior sister looked at the dense group of human figures in the sky, but there was not a bit of fear in their hearts. They knew that the people in the sky were from the East Sun Sect. At this moment, a middle-aged man who was standing in the middle of the crowd in the sky shouted to the people on the ground, ¡°Brats of the Green Sky Sect, come out and face your death!!!¡± Chapter 40 - Since You Want to Fight, Then Lets Fight! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The sect master of the East Sun Sect was called Dongyang Lie. He was the son of the previous sect master of the East Sun Sect. Ten years ago, he became the first cultivator to enter the Black Core Realm in Longyan County. At that time, he had led the disciples of the East Sun Sect to wipe out the sect that was the only threat to their position. No one dared to say that he was wrong. During these ten years, he had always been at the highest position in Longyan County. Regardless of whether it was sects, the families, or even the Dragon Shadow Pavilion, they were extremely subservient to him. During these ten years, not only had Dongyang Lie established the East Sun Sect as the number one sect in Longyan County, but he had also advanced his strength to the intermediate stage of the Black Core Realm, as well as established the strongest combat team made of Black Core Realm cultivators. No one dared to disobey him, and no one dared to say no to him. However, just this year, this damned Green Sky Sect, an old antique sect that ranked bottom in the Longyan County that no one looked up to, actually dared to challenge him. He thought that he could get Tianlu Mountain as soon as he asked for it, but to think he lost more than a hundred disciples and even two elders at the Origin Building Realm for this matter. To think a small and unrated sect dared to disobey him was simply a great humiliation to him. Dongyang Lie pointed at the sect in the mountains below. ¡°The sect in this mountain valley is the Green Sky Sect.¡± The people around him all laughed disdainfully. ¡°The spiritual energy here is quite dense.¡± The people of the East Sun Sect could see the abundant spiritual energy in the mountains and forests that surrounded the Green Sky Sect like a faint mist. Due to the light rain, the fragrance of the spiritual energy was weaker, but the cultivators could still clearly see the flow of the spiritual energy. The people who had been mocking the sect in the mountains drooled at the sight of the spiritual energy. They had probably only seen such dense spiritual energy in the fairyland in their dreams. ¡°Humph!¡± Dongyang Lie looked at those people who were staring at the spiritual energy in a daze with anger in his eyes. He believed he had been insulted by such a low-ranked sect because of these low-level trashes. ¡°Stop looking. As long as we take down the Green Sky Sect today, these things will be ours.¡± Hearing Dongyang Lie¡¯s words, the people became excited. They looked at the Green Sky Sect in front of them as if they were looking at a fat roasted pig. On the ground, the disciples of the Green Sky Sect were ready to face the enemy. The matter had happened so suddenly that they didn¡¯t have the time to inform the disciples who had gone out on adventures. They didn¡¯t even have the time to call the disciples guarding the mine back. It seemed that they could only rely on the disciples who had stayed behind to guard the Green Sky Sect. ¡°Don¡¯t show your natal flying swords yet. Each of you hold a sword in your hand, and only summon your flying swords when you have no other choice.¡± Lin Feng passed down the order. The disciples did not know what he was trying to do, but they all followed his order. Lin Feng looked at the disciples around him. Most of them were in the Condensing Reality Realm, and some were even in the Qi Gathering Realm. Only Jiang Hanzhang and Dongfang Yuanzhong, who were both in the beginner stage of the Origin Building Realm, stood by Lin Feng, while Zhang Wanqing and Qing Yun stood on Lin Feng¡¯s right side. Everyone held their swords in their hands. Zhang Wanqing knew that Lin Feng was trying to hide their strength to catch the opponent off guard. Therefore, she did as he said, though her face remained expressionless. Lin Feng observed the strength of their opponent and frowned slightly. This fight was not going to be easy. They already had ten in the Origin Building Realm. These ten people were dressed the same as the grand elder, so they should also be elders. On top of that, there were five Black Core Realm cultivators in the middle. One of them was in the intermediate stage of the Black Core Realm, he should be Dongyang Lie, the sect master of the East Sun Sect. The other four were in the beginner stage of the Black Core Realm. The rest of the opponents were the disciples of the East Sun Sect. Most of them had the same cultivation strength as the disciples of the Green Sky Sect. Lin Feng exchanged a glance with his junior sister. The two of them flew into the sky on their swords. They stopped in front of the East Sun Sect and stood in front of them. ¡°The East Sun Sect is quite the bigshot, you¡¯re always calling people out to die.¡± Hearing Lin Feng¡¯s sarcasm, Dongyang Lie didn¡¯t take it seriously at all. On the contrary, he was shocked greatly by the cultivation realm of Lin Feng and the female cultivator beside him. Two beginner stage Black Core Realm cultivators, it was no wonder they could kill the grand elder and the others. ¡°You¡¯re merely beginner stage Black Core Realm cultivators. Lin Feng, your sect¡¯s disciple seriously injured my personal disciple. Now, my poor disciple is still lying in bed. Not long ago, you even cruelly killed our sect¡¯s grand elder and more than a hundred disciples. If the disciples behave badly, it must be the master¡¯s wrong, so you are not a noble character at all. If I don¡¯t flatten your sect which has committed evil everywhere, I will be letting down the more than a hundred disciples of my sect who died in vain.¡± Seeing that the other party was eloquent, Lin Feng did not intend to argue with him. When a wolf wanted to eat humans, no matter its excuse, the result remained the same, that it would eat humans. After all, a wolf was a wolf. With its bad nature, it wouldn¡¯t give up just because one argued with it. Therefore, Lin Feng did not intend to argue with Dongyang Lie at all. He knew that only the winner had the right to speak. Although Lin Deng didn¡¯t take any of it to heart, Jiang Hanzhang, who had been listening from below, couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, so she scolded Dongyang Lie, ¡°You old dog, you¡¯re twisting the truth! You¡¯re the one who played dirty tricks first, yet you¡¯re blaming us. You should really watch your ugly face, or you¡¯ll lose all your face¡­¡± Hearing Jiang Hanzhang¡¯s words, the disciples of the Green Sky Sect who were on the ground couldn¡¯t help but cover their mouths and snicker. Dongyang Lie didn¡¯t expect such a sharp-tongued opponent. He would have scolded Jiang Hanzhang, but for his dignity, he could only endure Jiang Hanzhang¡¯s endless insults. ¡°Shut up!¡± One of the East Sun Sect¡¯s Black Core Realm cultivators couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. With a casual wave of his hand, a red light shot toward Jiang Hanzhang who was on the ground. Seeing that the red light was approaching at an extremely fast speed and that there was no time for her to dodge, Jiang Hanzhang could only crouch to the ground with her head in her hands. ¡°Bang!¡± With a loud sound, a flying sword hung above Jiang Hanzhang¡¯s head and protected her underneath. ¡°Hmm? Just a disciple¡¯s words have made seniors like you so angry that you want to kill her? Yet you still dare to say that you¡¯re from a reputable sect?¡± Lin Feng waved his finger, and the sword below quickly returned to his side. ¡°A natal flying sword. You¡¯re actually a sword cultivator?!¡± Dongyang Lie was very shocked. To think the opponent was a sword cultivator at the Black Core Realm. It was quite a deterring fact. But now, he simply couldn¡¯t back down. No matter what, he had to fight this battle. He was just a sword cultivator. In front of absolute realms, everything else was illusory. ¡°Hmph, an evil sword cultivator like you shouldn¡¯t be spared!¡± The Black Core Realm cultivator who attacked said nothing more as he directly punched at Lin Feng, thinking that he could take advantage of this sudden attack to gain some advantage. He didn¡¯t expect that the other party did not even attempt to defend himself. In an instant, the Black Core Realm cultivator¡¯s figure flashed, then fell to the ground. He no longer had any aura. Lin Feng could now enter and exit as he pleased from the domain of the Sparrow in a Cage, which made it so he could attack his opponent even if he didn¡¯t enter the Sparrow in a Cage. Dongyang Lie who was watching on the opposite was stunned. A Black Core Realm expert had just been killed in a breath¡¯s time, and he hadn¡¯t even seen the technique clearly. Lin Feng didn¡¯t care so much.. He raised his hand and pointed at Dongyang Lie who was in front of him as he said slowly, ¡°Since you want to fight, then let¡¯s fight!¡±
