Chapter 2216: Forbidden Legends
Edited by RED
The Destiny Wheel had rotated again. Lin Feng understood why the Shrines had attacked them now.
“In the Continent of the Nine Clouds, there’s an expression to describe people who make the Destiny Wheel rotate: Forbidden Destiny, or Forbidden Person. Such people can’t live, all the Shrines want to kill them,” said the Diviner.
Lin Feng’s face stiffened. He was shaking.
“However, in the Continent of the Nine Clouds, people think of such cultivators as extremely strong, and they even call them Shrines’ Champions. Most people think they shouldn’t be called Forbidden People or Forbidden Destinies. In the ancient past, there were only a few people like that. After the great war, no other Forbidden Person has appeared. Maybe it’s due to the scarcity of Qi or, maybe cultivators have become too weak.
“But now a new one has appeared,” said the Diviner, staring at Lin Feng. Lin Feng understood why he was being stared at now.
The Diviner said, “During the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, the Destiny Wheel rotated. Therefore, one of the finalists could be a Forbidden Person. And that person is probably you, Lin Feng!”
“Pfew…” Lin Feng took a deep breath. Did he have some kind of forbidden body? There were legends about a forbidden or taboo body in the continent. But people didn’t know what it meant, and didn’t know that the Shrines had fought during the Shrines’ Dusk War because of someone who had a forbidden body.
Lin Feng maybe might have a forbidden body, he might be a Forbidden Person. However, they had taken Chu Chun Qiu away, was it to hide the true one from the others’ field of vision? If the Shrines didn’t manage to do what they wanted, and kill the one who had activated the Wheel, then they wouldn’t stop looking for him. They didn’t want to see a Forbidden Person rise!
“Only you, me, and three people from the Shrine know this. You can’t tell anyone about this. We will probably send you to different places of the continent. We can’t keep you in the Destiny Shrine, it would be useless for you. The Destiny Shrine will do their best to calm the situation down, like a thousand years ago,” the Diviner said.
A set of starry clothes appeared indistinctly. He said to Lin Feng, “This an illusion robe. Wear it and you can easily change your facial features, Qi, eyes, everything. Nobody can recognize you with such an item.”
Lin Feng was astonished, but took the clothes. Even though Mister Xiao’s masks were great, they also had limits. Extremely strong cultivators could still recognize him when he wore them. He couldn’t hide from Saints. But this robe would probably allow him to do so!
“Besides that, you deserve something for having ranked first. What do you want?” asked the Diviner, smiling at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was surprised and said, “I know a Saint, he was injured badly long ago. He has one thread of consciousness left. I also know a Celestial Emperor, his body has turned into Dao. I have another friend, a girl, she’s an emperor who was injured by a great emperor, I sealed her, and she has only one thread of Qi left. I hope you can heal them.”
“For the Saint you know, it’s going to be troublesome, especially if his soul has also been destroyed. But at his cultivation level, he can survive, the Life Shrine has some Godly Medicine of the Immortals, it can help cultivators who have only one thread of consciousness left return to life. Then, the cultivator needs to study the Rebirth Scriptures and have their consciousness give birth to soul strength. But it’s going to be extremely difficult to fully recover,” the Diviner told him. “Concerning the Celestial Emperor who has died to turn into Dao and the girl whom you sealed, one drop of Godly Medicine of the Immortals is enough. We have good relations with the Life Shrine, I can give you three drops as a reward for your first position.”
“Thank you very much!” Lin Feng thanked him happily. Godly Medicine of the Immortals was incredible. Even though the Diviner mentioned that remedy in such a relaxed way, Lin Feng knew how priceless it was. As long as a Saint still had any consciousness left, they could come back to life thanks to the Godly Medicine of the Immortals. Even to the Life Shrine, Godly Medicine of the Immortals was priceless. However, the Diviner had agreed to give him three drops, it was incredibly generous.
If Saint Tianhun knew this, he would do all he could to kill Lin Feng. He had come to the meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, that medicine was his biggest hope. He had hoped he’d be able to get Godly Medicine of the Immortals. The body he had captured wasn’t great, Godly Medicine of the Immortals could help someone like him become as strong as back in his prime.
But even with such a medicine, Saints needed to study the Rebirth Scriptures to come back to life. Saint Qin Shan had almost died. His injuries were unbelievably serious.
Minister Uptala, as well as Qing Qing, were weak in comparison to the powers of the Godly Medicine of the Immortals. Even if they only had one thread of Qi left, they could completely recover with the Godly Medicine of the Immortals. Even if Minster Uptala had turned into Dao, the Dao still contained his soul!
“Come, I’ll take you somewhere,” the Diviner said. Lin Feng followed him as they left.
——
They were walking through the starlit sky. After a very long time, Lin Feng didn’t know where he was, but they were in a starry world when the Diviner finally stopped.
At that moment, they were surrounded by stars.
“Continent of the Nine Clouds!” Lin Feng was astonished when he looked at the starry sky: Godly Clouds, Purple Clouds, the Dark Night Region… All the regions of the Continent of the Nine Clouds were in the sky.
Apart from the Continent of the Nine Clouds, there was Hell and even some unfinished worlds.
“What’s that?” asked Lin Feng to the Diviner. He was curious.
“The Continent of the Nine Clouds, Hell and some small worlds’ entrances,” said the Diviner to Lin Feng. Lin Feng was astonished. “You can go to the Continent of the Nine Clouds or Hell from here?”
“Indeed. The Continent of the Nine Clouds was created by a supreme cultivator back in the days. It’s also a small world. The Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds is the real world. There are passages to many small worlds here. The Supreme Animal World is one of them. Of course, there are many, many small worlds. Nobody can invade the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, because the Shrines are here,” the Diviner explained to Lin Feng.
“Lin Feng, you will spend a few days here, I will give you some skills and techniques. You’ll tell me if you want more. Of course, you are a Forbidden Person, so they are not really useful for you. Your future can’t be determined by destiny, either.
“You’ll need to create your own strength. In a few days, you’ll leave Fortune City and practice everywhere. You can go anywhere: the Continent of the Nine Clouds, the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, or other worlds.”
“Alright, I’ll practice elsewhere and when I become a great emperor, I’ll come back!” agreed Lin Feng. He hadn’t forgotten about the agreement with the Snow Clan: twenty years! He had to save Meng Qing and his child!
“Master, the Snow Clan is probably in the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, right? How strong are they?” asked Lin Feng.
“Yes, they are a very old Clan. They’ve existed since the ancient times. But during the great war, they lost many people and became quite weak. But two new monarchs have appeared in the Snow Clan now, so they’re really happy.”
Two monarchs? Xue Ao and…? With Meng Qing, there should be three…, thought Lin Feng.
“Why are you asking me about the Snow Clan?” said the Diviner.
“We are in conflict.” Lin Feng’s eyes glittered.
“Oh, even though the Fortune Shrine can help you, right now, you should remain discreet, and not only you, but all the others of the top ten of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. You all need to travel and become stronger. When the situation calms down, if you need the Fortune Shrine to help you, tell me. Then, you can head to the other Shrines and show them that you’re not the weakling you used to be. Someday, they won’t be able to do anything to you anymore.”
“Definitely!” promised Lin Feng. He took a deep breath. The Snow Clan’s Saints despised him. He was a nobody to them. Xue Ao was aggressive and extremely strong. He needed to become stronger. Back then, if Qing Feng hadn’t brought Shi Jue Lao Xian, the Snow Clan would have killed him. If he had died, Meng Qing would have killed herself. Lin Feng didn’t dare think about such things.
Lin Feng would definitely get his revenge for everything they had done to him, Meng Qing, and their baby.
Lin Feng raised his head and looked at the stars. He had ranked first at the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Finally, he was becoming a really strong cultivator. No matter what, he had to press forward with indomitable will. Now, he was a Forbidden Person, the Shrines wanted to kill him. He had to become extremely strong.
