Chapter 2424: Shrines’ Changes (1/2)
In the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, on a public field of the Fire Shrine…
There were flames all around a sacrificial altar. In front of the altar was a strong cultivator wearing a fire robe. He looked dignified and majestic. There were incredibly strong cultivators gathered around. Qiong Yu’s mother was in the crowd.
“Fierce battles have started, it’s at the point of no return now, the situation is really chaotic. What do you think?” asked the presiding man calmly.
“Everything is going to change now,” said someone.
“Of course. We can read lots of things about the situation back in the days when it was chaotic, there were great changes. Some Shrines were destroyed, and some others rose.”
“Of course. Things change all the time. People have different destinies. Many geniuses rise. Many people break through suddenly. Of course, even more people fall behind and get killed.”
The leader smiled. “Indeed. Some of you will rise, too. Some of you will die. You all have different destinies.
“You’ve probably heard of what happened yesterday.”
“We know,” everybody nodded. “I hadn’t thought that the legends would be true. All the worlds the Shrines have created are connected, and the territories which connect two different worlds are sometimes forbidden territories. It’s incredible. These last few years, we’ve found a dozen worlds connected to the Continent of the Nine Clouds.”
“Yes, so there’s the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds which is something different, then there’s the Continent of the Nine Clouds and twelve worlds that are connected to it. In those other worlds, there are some incredible influential groups, but still, there is no world that is more complete than the Continent of the Nine Clouds. The Continent of the Nine Clouds is the best and main world.”
“The other worlds were created by gods. The Continent of the Celestial Stars was created by cultivators who control star strength. They might have close relations to the Fortune Shrine. We have already sent some cultivators to investigate that matter. We’ll see if we can find anything related to the Fortune Shrine, and to the god or gods who created that continent.”
“The World of the Celestial Stars isn’t the only one. We sent strong cultivators to all the other worlds to investigate. We’re not the only ones doing that, the other Shrines are also doing it. The relationships between all the Shrines are complex nowadays. We need to help the younger generations grow strong. From now on, the Fire Shrine’s gods’ picture scrolls should be made available for the core disciples.”
“Elder, I have something to report,” a woman said to the leader.
“What?” asked the elder.
“Maybe that Lin Feng who has a Forbidden Body is in the lower world. Can we send a peerless Saint to kill him?” asked the woman. Qiong Lin had been killed, so she understood that without a peerless Saint, they wouldn’t be able to kill Lin Feng.
The elder’s eyes glittered, and he said to the woman, “Last time, you told us about the situation. Back then, the Shrines even went to the Fortune Shrine to oppress some young people, but nothing was done to kill them quickly. Now, some of them have already become famous, the Shrines made a mistake of strategic importance.”
The elder said the Shrines had made a mistake without feeling ashamed. He continued, “But the Shrines’ leaders didn’t think that the world would become so chaotic later. We forgot or neglected what happened a thousand years ago; the Destiny Wheel is not a joke! The top cultivators of the last Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds were really talented, that’s why they became strong so quickly.
“And last time you acted alone; you sent people and you failed. You think the Fortune Shrine doesn’t know about that? They know! Lin Feng’s real body has a mysterious strength. Even if we send a peerless Saint, it might not work, either. Let’s forget about it for the time being,” said the elder.
The woman’s face stiffened. “Elder, Lin Feng is becoming strong extremely quickly. He probably has the Forbidden Body. If we let him become strong, he will overturn the Shrines,” said the woman.
However, the elder just glanced at her and retorted, “You think it’s so easy for a low-level Saint to become a peerless Saint? It’s already extremely hard to make one sort of original strength reach its maximum level, so imagine two sorts of special original strength, it’s even harder! In the history of the world, nobody has ever managed to do that in less than a thousand years! We still have time! We need to wait until it’s the right time. Just have some people spy on him, that’s enough.”
