Chapter 2424: Shrines’ Changes (2/2)
The woman wanted to say something else, but the elder said, “Enough! If Lin Feng has a Forbidden Body, we’ll see. The Fortune Shrine will also attach more importance to him. Don’t you understand these basic principles?”
When the woman heard the elder, she pulled a long face. How could she give up and let Lin Feng off?
“We’re not the only ones who want to kill Lin Feng, the other Shrines want to kill him, too. We shouldn’t stir up trouble,” said the elder icily. The woman shuddered as she understood something. Shrines could be destroyed in troubled times. Thus, all the Shrines wanted to protect themselves and their people, as their people were their assets. They couldn’t take risks and let their people die. The Fire Shrine didn’t want to take risks and then have other Shrines attack them in a moment of weakness.
“This time, I called everybody together because I want you to do some things. First, I want you to make efforts to teach our young people more things and help them become stronger. Second, I want you to recruit young geniuses. Third, I want everybody to get ready to battle. The world is chaotic, and it’ll be the same as in the past. It will be a very long fight. The fighting may last for one, five, or even ten thousand years. He who laughs last, laughs longest.”
“We understand,” everybody nodded. The worst times were also the best. Who was going to use the losers as stepping stones?
——
Those things had nothing to do with Lin Feng for the time being. As the Fire Shrine thought, there would be chaos for a very long time. No Shrine was stupid enough to attack another Shrine straightforwardly, and nobody was stupid enough to use their trump cards immediately, either. Also, nobody was stupid enough to send their strongest cultivators first and have them die. Therefore, they focused on raising their young geniuses, they needed to accumulate strength.
Lin Feng wasn’t strong enough to make the whole world change. He didn’t have such a power.
Those days, Lin Feng stayed in Tiantai with his teachers and his friends; he taught young people about cultivation. The Holy City calmed down again. Many people who wanted to become Tiantai’s disciples came, but Tiantai didn’t recruit disciples so easily. To become a member of Tiantai, the rule was now to become a student at Champion University first, then they had to become core students of Champion University. Only then did Tiantai consider their applications.
It also meant that Tiantai and Champion University belonged to the same group. Champion University used to be strong, and now they were even stronger. They had always been respected, so many students wanted to study there. Regarding Tiantai, people admired Tiantai because of Lin Feng.

Mu Chen, Emperor Yu and Tian Chi were gathered in a courtyard. Mu Chen asked Lin Feng, “Little Lin Feng, you really intend to go?”
“Yes. I’ve been in the Holy City for half a year. Tiantai is becoming stronger and more stable. I have left nine Bestial Saints here to protect Tiantai. They can protect Tiantai for a thousand years. They will do their best. I need to leave,” Lin Feng told Mu Chen. “But now the passage between the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds and the lower world is open. I can come back to see you anytime, anyway.”
Mu Chen nodded, “You stayed here for a while and you did so much for Tiantai, you should indeed leave and do your own things now. Little Chi, are you going to leave too?”
“Teacher, I won’t call you great fellow disciple or brother, you’re my teacher. Qing Lin is my great fellow disciple or brother. They all left for so many years, I was a demon for so many years, too. I should go and travel,” said Tian Chi, smiling calmly. He looked soft and kind, like in the past.
“Even though you were a demon for a while, your fellow disciples might not necessarily be as strong as you, you’re already a Saint. But you were lucky. This time, if you go and travel, be careful.”
“I understand,” Tian Chi nodded.
“Alright. Old buddy, let the kids leave the nest,” smiled Emperor Yu. However, he also looked sad; he didn’t want the young ones to leave, either.
“Haha, alright, go,” said Mu Chen, laughing wholeheartedly. “These little boys don’t want to leave, either. And Ling, she keeps following Little Lin Feng everywhere.”
“Tell them after we leave. Let’s go now.” Lin Feng and Tian Chi bowed before their teachers and flew up. Mu Chen and Emperor Yu watched them disappear in the distance. They turned around only when the two of them completely disappeared into the horizon.
