Chapter 2433: Treasure Hall (1/2)
In the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, in the Fortune Shrine…
There were gigantic mountains and waterfalls coming from the sky. They were magnificent and grandiose.
Lin Feng was walking in the Fortune Shrine. Many people looked at him in surprise. They smiled and said, “Brother Lin Feng!”
Lin Feng also replied and smiled back. Even though many things had happened in the Fortune Shrine because of him, he rarely spent time with the others. He only spent time with the Diviner.
“Lin Feng, you’re back!” said an old man walking past Lin Feng, and smiling.
“Yes, I’m back,” Lin Feng smiled. He didn’t recognize anyone, but they all recognized him. Lin Feng slowly walked towards a waterfall. At the top of the waterfall, there was a figure, graceful and elegant. She smiled broadly when she saw him.
“Meng Qing!” said Lin Feng. He flew up in the air and landed next to Meng Qing. He stretched his arms and caressed her wan and sallow face. He smiled gently and said, “Silly girl.”
Meng Qing laughed and said nothing. She put her head on Lin Feng’s shoulder and her eyes turned red.
“You left for so long, don’t do that again,” whispered Meng Qing. Lin Feng felt guilty.
He nodded and said, “I will always take you with me in the future.”
“You said it,” said Meng Qing raising her head and smiled softly.
“Indeed,” Lin Feng nodded. They both sat down on a gigantic stone and gazed into the distance. The landscapes were incredible here.
“Any news from Zhe Tian?” asked Lin Feng.
“No. I don’t know where he is. He has the same personality as you back in the days.”
“Like father, like son,” Lin Feng grinned.
“But while you were away all those years, many things happened to the Fortune Shrine. The Continent of the Nine Clouds is now in a state of chaos. More and more Shrines want to fight against the Fortune Shrine, and the Shrines are also starting to fight for supremacy.”
“During times of prosperity, people don’t really fight over territories that much. But now that the world is in a state of chaos, resources are scarce and influential groups start fighting over territories. All the influential groups want to gain some mysterious worlds or places where there are precious things. They want to use resources for geniuses, so the competition is even more fierce.”
Lin Feng understood that. If the Fortune Shrine controlled a city, it meant that the resources in that city also belonged to the Fortune Shrine, and whenever new geniuses appeared in that city, then the Fortune Shrine could also recruit them. When the world was in a state of chaos, it lasted for thousands and thousands of years. The situation couldn’t be solved from one day to another, so the Shrines had to do their best.
“So anyway, what I wanted to say is, seven years ago, the Fortune Shrine decided to recruit core disciples every ten years. The core disciples can then all compete, no matter what their cultivation level is. Your friends, Hou Qing Lin, Jun Mo Xi, and someone else came back, they want to try and become core disciples in the Fortune Shrine.”
Lin Feng smiled, “You saw Brother Hou and Jun Mo Xi?”
“Yes, they came to see you, but then they found out you weren’t here,” said Meng Qing nodding.
“How are they doing?” asked Lin Feng.
“Very good. In three years, you’ll be able to see them,” said Meng Qing smiling.
