Chapter 1830: Ba Huang Nowadays
The strong cultivator of the Celestial Palace of the Punishing Thunders remembered back then, when Emperor Wu Tian Jian had threatened him. Later on, things had changed, and another group had taken control over the small world. However, people had continued consulting him concerning issues in the small world, so he was still the manager of the small world. He hadn’t thought that Lin Feng would come back after so many years.
“You surprisingly dared come back,” said the strong cultivator, smiling coldly. Lin Feng hadn’t leveled up it seemed, but the people around him were quite strong. They were all low-level emperors. He was a bit surprised.
“Let us go into the small world,” ordered Lin Feng calmly. The strong cultivator of Celestial Palace of the Punishing Thunders frowned and looked at Lin Feng. Lin Feng was provoking him?
Lin Feng had no time to talk nonsense. He immediately broke a talisman, lights and then a silhouette appeared. The strong cultivator of Celestial Palace of the Punishing Thunders was stupefied, he bowed and said, “Master!”
“From now on, there is no entry and exit restriction. Open the passage and apologize to Lin Feng for what you did in the past. If Lin Feng forgives you, come back to Celestial Palace of the Punishing Thunders. If he doesn’t, then you will never come back,” said the leader of Celestial Palace of the Punishing Thunders icily. The strong cultivator was in charge of protecting the passage. Back then, he had joined hands with Celestial Qi Castle and Celestial Si Kong Castle, and had offended Lin Feng. However, now things had changed.
Now, the Celestial Palace of the Punishing Thunders, the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness, and Celestial Si Kong Castle respected Tiantai. After all, they couldn’t change anything, and Lin Feng had taken control over the region. He had also destroyed his enemies, such as Celestial Qi Castle and the Palace of the Medicinal Kings. Regarding Celestial Wen Castle, they had chosen the wrong allies, but Lin Feng wasn’t as cruel to them as he had been Celestial Qi Castle and the Palace of the Medicinal Kings.
The strong cultivator of Celestial Palace of the Punishing Thunders pulled a long face and lowered his head before he moved aside, not daring to look at Lin Feng.
“Haven’t you heard me? Apologize! Apologize to Tiantai’s heroic cultivators. Celestial Qi Castle and the Palace of the Medicinal Kings have been destroyed. Do you want to die too?” asked the leader of Celestial Palace of the Punishing Thunders. When the strong cultivator heard that, he was astonished and his heart twitched. Lin Feng and his friends had destroyed Celestial Qi Castle and the Palace of the Medicinal Kings? What was going on?
“Hmph!” the leader of the castle groaned icily and then he disappeared.
The strong cultivator’s heart was pounding violently. He didn’t know what to think, but all in all, he bowed before Lin Feng and his friends and said, “I offended you. I’m infinitely sorry. I hope you can forgive me.”
Lin Feng looked at him icily and said, “After we pass, you’ll leave the passage open forever. If we need a guard, then you’ll be the guard forever.”
Lin Feng didn’t intend to kill him. Even though that guy was a moron, he was also the guard of the passage. Changing the guard wouldn’t have any impact, guards always enjoyed doing things their own way. Back then, he had received orders from the Celestial Palace of the Punishing Thunders. But from now on, he couldn’t close the passage anymore.
“Yes, sir!” said the guard, nodding before he went and opened the passage. Lin Feng and the others passed and landed in the Sun Castle. They walked along a long corridor and appeared outside. They all took a deep breath.
“Ba Huang.” Lin Feng closed his eyes and enjoyed the fresh air of the small world. Finally. Lin Feng had the sensation he hadn’t been back in forever.
“Lin Feng, we’re back!” said Jun Mo Xi, walking up next to Lin Feng. His eyes were twinkling. Back then, when they had left, he hadn’t taken Xiao Die with him. They hadn’t seen each other for years. He was wondering how she was doing.
Hou Qing Lin and Tian Chi walked forwards. Unfortunately, their teacher wasn’t here with them. Some other fellow disciples weren’t there, either. How were they all doing?
They had built Tiantai in the region of the nine great celestial castles for several reasons. The first was to control the region, including the small world. Then, people from the small world would be able to come in and out freely, and practice cultivation in the great world. Nobody would treat them as slaves anymore. The second reason was that if their teachers and fellow disciples heard of Tiantai, they’d know where to find them.
“Let’s go,” whispered Lin Feng. Then, he walked forwards. They were going back to Ba Huang, the place where they had risen. Lin Feng’s cultivation had changed drastically since back then, when he had come to Ba Huang.
——
Ten years had passed, that was a long time. Two powerful groups controlled Ba Huang now, one of them being the Wen Clan. Many years before, there was the Si Kong Clan in the central part of Ba Huang, and the Qi Clan and Celestial Palace of the Immortals were in the eastern part of Ba Huang. After all the emperors had left, people had heard of the great world. The Qi Clan and the Si Kong Clan had then started declining. However, the Wen Clan had continued rising. They had become quite strong and had taken control over the central part of Ba Huang. The Magic World Heavenly Palace had disappeared, only the Si Kong Clan had remained. Jiange still existed, but they were weaker than the Wen Clan. However, according to legends, there was a strange old man who never came out in Jiange.
Apart from the Wen Clan, there was another strong group, the Palace of the Medicinal Kings. The Palace of the Medicinal Kings had occupied the territory of Celestial Place of the Alchemists back then, in the southern part of Ba Huang. They ruled over the southern part of Ba Huang now. Many groups which existed back then had declined or even been destroyed.
For example, Tiantai had disappeared from the northern part of Ba Huang. Their territory had been maintained temporarily, but now they had completely disappeared. Sometimes, some old people talked about them, but most people were gradually forgetting about it.
Apart from that, many groups had disappeared and were part of history.
However, some new groups had also started rising. Some people also tried to resurrect some groups which had been destroyed.
For example, in the southern part of Ba Huang, a celestial being had appeared and wanted to resurrect the Celestial Place of the Alchemists. Unfortunately, even though she had broken through to the Huang Qi layer, the Palace of the Medicinal Kings kept humiliating her. Everybody called her Empress Xue, or Xue Celestial Being. She had become even more beautiful. She was one of the legendary four most beautiful women of Ba Huang, Xue Baguio!
There were many legends about Xue Baguio and the Celestial Palace of the Alchemists. Some people said that Emperor Dan had used her back then, and that she had followed people from Tiantai. Some rumors also said that she had fallen in love with Lin Feng, but that his wife was already a celestial being: Meng Qing! Therefore, he had refused Xue Baguio, and Xue Baguio had remained in the small world. Back then, she hadn’t followed the others into the great world.
Of course, those were just rumors, but in the southern part of Ba Huang, there was another group. They were called Qi Feng Mountain. Back then, they had dispersed and then someone had restored the group, two beautiful sisters… Feng Ling and Feng Xuan! Back then, Feng Xuan was also one of the four most beautiful women. However, Feng Ling had become just as beautiful, if not moreso. Besides, Feng Ling had broken through to the Huang Qi layer before Feng Xuan.
Some people said that they had gone to the outer world and had come back. Nobody could check whether the information was true or not. Only those who had gone to the great world could know.
Regarding the last of the four most beautiful women, apparently she was from the Wen Clan. Some people said that she pretended to be a man. Now, she didn’t hide anymore, and she had become one of the four most beautiful women. Her name was Wen Ao Xue. She was the pride of the Wen Clan.
In the northern part of Ba Huang, some funny things happened too. For example, a young man had started rising. He was extremely strong, and people found him extraordinary, as he was extremely talented. That guy wanted to recreate Tiantai. He traveled a lot, trying to recreate Tiantai.
——
Lin Feng knew nothing about those things. Now, he was going to Jiange alone. He was flying on his gigantic sword, it reminded him of so many things. Without Jiange, everything in his life would have been different. Emperor Wu Tian Jian had helped him so much in life.
Bzzz!
Some silhouettes flickered and people appeared in front of him, they all looked as sharp as swords. Young Master, their Young Master was back!
“If I become an emperor someday, Jiange will rule over the central part of Ba Huang!” That was what Lin Feng had said back then. They all remembered that, he did too. Now, he was back, but he was still a Zun cultivator. Would he make them proud?
