Chapter 2134: Skill
Eastern Town was in the eastern part of Godly Clouds City, hence the name.
It was just a district within the city but it was still gigantic. There were millions of clans and other kinds of influential groups. It was also divided into many sub-districts. The political situation was complex. Of course, there were a few groups at the top who looked down on the rest of the city. The strongest groups were probably backed up by the Shrines, so they were essential for the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds.
After all, the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds was in the inner part of Godly Clouds City. Not everybody could go there, and not everybody could participate in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. There would have been billions of people if so, and the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds would have been much less interesting.
Precisely for that reason, each time a Shrine organized the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, the strongest groups of the twelve cities had to be strict and check the potential participants.
Of course, most people didn’t know what was going on behind the scenes. However, when people came to Godly Clouds City, they always realized it was a mysterious place, a holy place for cultivation. Godly Clouds City had to be an incredible place because, the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds took place there. It was easier to keep up-to-date with the news there.
Lin Feng had already released the old man and his granddaughter in town. By doing so, some people had probably noticed him, so he had to leave quickly. He departed quickly and was now walking on the main road. There were people all around. Lin Feng kept glancing around, having millions of thoughts. How many years had he been practicing cultivation? From the beginning, he would have never thought he’d be walking in the central city of the Continent of the Nine Clouds someday, Godly Clouds City!
“The very center of the continent, how incredible.” Lin Feng glanced around, noting many people looked enigmatic and unfathomable. Emperors looked like insects here, extremely weak. Most children were emperors already here, which made Lin Feng speechless. But when he saw the shops on both sides of the street, he also understood that they had more resources than anywhere else in the world.
He was at the top of the Huang Qi layer, and for that cultivation level, there were many useful items in the shops around him. There were also many auction houses. The powerful clans in those cities also had incredible items.
Lin Feng looked at the people around him. Many of them were also observing him. Of course, more people actually looked at his gigantic fire lion. To many people, that lion looked even more incredible than Lin Feng; the beast was a Great Imperial Beast and Lin Feng was just an emperor!
But people remained discreet. Nobody tried to offend anyone. They were in Godly Clouds City, not outside. Without knowing someone’s background, the best choice was not to offend them.
What should you do if you want to participate in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds?, wondered Lin Feng. Even though he didn’t know the exact details, he knew that it was impossible to go to the meeting and participate directly. There had to be a selection process, otherwise the meeting would have lasted forever. A filtering had to be done.
Lin Feng continued walking through the city, enjoying the landscapes. An open air restaurant appeared in his field of vision, with many people chatting on the terrace. Lin Feng smiled and walked over. Restaurants were perfect places to learn the news.

Lin Feng went to a table and listened to what people were talking about. He learned some important news in Godly Clouds City.
For example, an extremely strong young person from a clan of alchemists had fought against some foreigners. They had bet on pellets and the foreigners had surprisingly won. Many people were startled. The clan was famous in Godly Clouds City, and their young people were extremely strong, but surprisingly, their young clansman had lost. It was said that they intended to fight again to regain face.
After that, he heard people talk more about those young people who had challenged the young alchemist from Godly Clouds City. They were actually from a very powerful clan of alchemists from Red Clouds. They were extremely strong, ambitious, and proud, and dared challenge extremely strong cultivators from Godly Clouds City. They made Red Clouds seem even more prestigious. The news spread quickly everywhere in Godly Clouds City, and many people were talking about it.
Of course, people talked about it because both sides were extremely strong. Actually, many foreigners challenged people from Godly Clouds City. People from Godly Clouds City were inherently proud and arrogant. Their clans had existed for a long time in Godly Clouds City. Most foreigners didn’t dare challenge people from Godly Clouds City. However, it couldn’t be denied that the people who came to Godly Clouds City were extremely strong and talented, and some of them were extraordinary. Their clans were all extraordinary in the other regions of the continent.
Lin Feng understood those things perfectly. If anyone tried to provoke Wu Jue, the thirteen Young Beast Masters from the Animal District, Chu Chun Qiu, or Saint Tianhun in Godly Clouds City, would they submit to humiliation? The best thing to do was to protect oneself, but not to kill the young people from the powerful clans of Godly Clouds City. If their young people didn’t die, then their clans could say anything, either.
In the restaurant, Lin Feng regretted that he hadn’t made You You come out. You You was in his spirit world with his family relaxing Sometimes, she practiced cultivation to stabilize her foundation. After all, she hadn’t reached such a cultivation level relying on her own abilities, she had been granted it with powers, a terrifyingly strong cultivator had sacrificed themself for her. She had to work on her cultivation constantly to stabilize it.
“This time, the Destiny Shrine is in charge of organizing the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. The twenty towns chose four groups of influence as entranced. Selected people have the competency to participate in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. There will be many geniuses from Ancient Holy Clans.”
“Of course. There are so many strong cultivators in Godly Clouds City, you can’t underestimate any of them. If only one group had selected candidates, it wouldn’t have worked. If you go to the different groups, they can either recommend you or not. Many people will be eliminated.”
“Yes, but those who aren’t chosen by Shrines aren’t happy!” someone smiled.
“Are you talking about the Deva-Mara Thunder Clan?” asked someone.
“Of course. The Deva-Mara Thunder Clan is really strong. They’ve always been a powerful group of the Eastern Town. They’re incredibly strong. However, they weren’t chosen by the Shrine, so they are disappointed.”
“A clan which relies on physical strength can’t succeed. They were not taken into consideration, that’s normal,” someone said coldly. Many people giggled, but they didn’t contradict him. People from the Deva-Mara Thunder Clan had a terrifying physical strength.
There was a crunching sound, startling everyone. They turned around and saw someone wearing a black cloak. He looked furious and released a mighty Qi which filled the air.
“Really insolent!” said that person coldly, “The Destiny Shrine chose people as they wished, it doesn’t mean clans they haven’t chosen aren’t strong enough! If you dare talk nonsense here again, don’t blame me for not being polite!”
His bones and muscles emitted crackling sounds. He kicked a table, which instantly exploded into dust.
“He’s from the Deva-Mara Thunder Clan!” The crowd frowned. Those who had just talked up felt chills. They didn’t dare say anything anymore. The Deva-Mara Thunder Clan was too powerful.
“What? It’s forbidden to talk here? said someone else at that moment. He looked bestial and ice-cold, and still had his glass in his hand.
It’s the one who just criticized the Deva-Mara Thunder Clan!, thought the crowd. The person from the Deva-Mara Thunder Clan looked at him and said coldly, “Which animal clan has such insolent little beasts?”
“Beast?” The crowd looked at the young person. The man put his glass down. He actually did look like a beast.
“Show me how physically strong the members of the Deva-Mara Thunder Clan are!” said that man as he stood up. The young person of the Deva-Mara Thunder Clan jumped forward, the air thickened as he shouted loudly. Terrifying Kalpa lights shone out. Black arcs of electricity moved towards the animal at full speed, like millions of snakes.
“What a powerful Qi, that’s an aggressive skill!”
An armor made of scales appeared around the bestial young man. He looked ferocious, and his physical strength was incredible. He was a dragon-rhinoceros!
The two fighters collided, their energies blotting out the sky. People were talking about battles just before, they hadn’t thought they’d see one so quickly. Lin Feng was quietly astonished. He looked up at the sky and saw dazzling Kalpa lights.
“Kalpa Indestructible Deva-Mara Skill.” Lin Feng’s eyes twinkled. The Deva-Mara Thunder Clan practiced the same skill as him, or more precisely, the skill he was studying probably came from that clan!
