Chapter 2495: Demon King

Edited by RED

Lin Feng found a place to sit down cross-legged and go to his own world.

He opened his hands and looked at the broken jade talisman. He felt so sad. He had actually attacked the Fortune Shrine Leader once. Instead of being angry, the Fortune Shrine Leader had given something to him: his jade talisman! He had said to Lin Feng. “If I die, it means that the one who’s always been deceiving you was the one who killed me. After my death, don’t forget to refine the Scepter of Destiny!”

Back then, Lin Feng had kind of stopped having doubts about the Fortune Shrine Leader. However, the one person he had decided to trust was the Diviner. Therefore, this time, he had decided to have Hou Qing Lin come, purely to see if the Diviner would cheat him or not.

He had also done that to see whether Saintly Emperor Xi the Demon was really his image or not. If he was, he would know everything about him, and apparently, he did. Lin Feng had already obtained some answers.

The Scepter of Destiny appeared in Lin Feng’s hands, and he scanned it with his powerful godly awareness. Something was broken inside. Lin Feng established a connection to the Scepter of Destiny and started refining it. After he managed to control it, some fluttering sounds spread in the air, and picture appeared in front of him.

It was a Shrine, towering aloft. Within the Shrine were two people: an old man, and a young man.

The old man’s Qi was weak. His figure was transparent, as if he was about to disappear. The young man was crying.

“My son, it’s my disaster technique, don’t be sad. This time, during the battle against the Demon King, both sides suffered losses. I have one foot in the grave after I sealed the Demon King. He won’t recover for a countless number of years.”

“But I still have some ominous premonitions. I will check the secrets of the gods, it’s the best time,” whispered the weak old man. He could disappear at any time.

“Teacher, the members of the Fortune Shrine all believe in divination, and they all have premonitions. If you use the celestial premonition technique, your soul will disperse!” protested the young man. He wanted to prevent the old man from doing so, but a curtain of light stopped him.

The old man said, “I’m doomed. I can still use the premonition technique once. It doesn’t matter.”

He closed his eyes and used the strength of the gods to peer into the future. Celestial strength condensed and turned into words.

“Celestial Dao Destiny Technique!” Lin Feng observed with a shiver. Was this a coincidence?

Celestial Dao words floated around the old man. Lin Feng was stared at them.

The Sky Palace, what’s the date tonight?

Mountain of Flowers and Fruit, a cave with a waterfall at its mouth!

Secret world, cultivation strength.

When the Forbidden Person appears, a god will appear.

Nobody knows what awaits them, but who can’t recognize a monarch?

Lin Feng’s heart was pounding violently. Those were the words Lin Feng had read in the Jade Emperor’s palace, the exact same words!

Lin Feng couldn’t calm down. How incredible! Celestial Dao Destiny Technique… Was it really the Celestial Dao Destiny Technique? Was it a prophecy?

“Teacher, I don’t understand what those words mean,” the young man said softly, looking at the words floating around.

“Never mind. I didn’t think that I wouldn’t understand them myself. However, remember them. No matter what they mean, they have something to do with the Forbidden Person. Maybe in the future, a Forbidden Person will appear. Remember this, you might meet the Forbidden Person someday. Remember…” sighed the old man, as he became even more transparent.

“Teacher!” cried out the young man, his eyes red.

“This Scepter is now yours. It contains destiny strength. You can use it to protect yourself, it has the strength of a half-god. The mysteries of Heaven must not be revealed. If they are revealed, you will die. You’re the only one who knows, and you must protect the Forbidden Person. The Forbidden Person is the dusk of all gods. This time, the Forbidden Person might become a god, and I will go to a god’s grave, I have the impression that I have to go there for a reason.”

The old man turned into light, and vanished. The young man was alone, staring blankly at the empty space.

“Teacher, I promise that if I face a disaster, I will sacrifice myself for the Forbidden Body!” whispered the young man. When Lin Feng heard that, he felt himself tearing up.

The young man was the Fortune Shrine Leader! He had done what he had promised. The Scepter of Destiny contained a half-god’s attack, but he had never used it, even to fight against the other Shrines. He had given it to Lin Feng!

However, Lin Feng had had doubts about the Fortune Shrine Leader, and had even attacked him. Lin Feng remembered how devastated and sad the Fortune Shrine Leader looked. He hadn’t even said anything. He had proved, with his life, that nobody else would learn the secrets of Heaven.

“Leader, you should know that some people already know the secrets of Heaven though…,” Lin Feng sighed. Who was Saintly Emperor Xi the Demon? How could he know the secrets of Heaven?

“Demon King!” said Lin Feng. A hundred years before, it was said that the Demon Shrine Leader had a new teacher. Icefire had gone there, and had come back home with his tail between his legs. There was a mysterious being in the Demon Shrine. They had become one of the three influential groups of the Continent of the Nine Clouds.

But Lin Feng still didn’t understand. Even if the Demon King had reincarnated and understood the secrets of Heaven, why could he find him so easily? Why had Lin Feng met Yan Di? What did “Limitless Sky Palace, what’s the date tonight?” mean? Why had he obtained the Jade Emperor’s palace and read those words inside? Did the Demon King have the same powers as the Fortune Shrine Leader? Did he also have premonitions?

Destiny strength is enigmatic and unfathomable, groused Lin Feng. He gradually refined the Scepter of Destiny, easy to do since it had no master anymore. Very quickly, Lin Feng took control over it. A mysterious and special strength emerged. Lin Feng felt even sadder, and held the Scepter of Destiny firmly.
