Chapter 2403: New Era in the Continent of the Nine Clouds
Edited by RED
“Immortality,” the old woodcutter whispered, “We want to become gods, and gods can create world which are immortal. Since we can’t understand what immortality is, we will never become gods, is that what you meant, old ox?”
The other three supreme cultivators were astonished. They were all incredible, peerless Saints, and extremely talented. They all stared at the old ox.
“I’ve already told you. I won’t repeat myself,” replied the old ox.
“Brother Ox, I offended you in the past, but thank you for your teachings,” said the Earth Area’s supreme cultivator, smiling at the old ox.
The old ox glanced at him indifferently, not surprised. Then, he turned to Lin Feng.
“I never thought he’d understand, and we wouldn’t,” sighed the Earth Area’s supreme cultivator, shaking his head. He said to Lin Feng, “Little boy, what’s your name?”
“Lin Feng, Master,” said Lin Feng respectfully. His real face reappeared.
“Haha, awesome, I knew you were using an incredible technique to hide your real face, but you probably have your reasons, so I didn’t ask,” said the Earth Area’s supreme cultivator.
Lin Feng was surprised, “How did you know, Master?”
“Even if you change your face, nothing can hide ice-cold eyes,” said the Earth Area’s supreme cultivator with a smile. “But you’re honest, and you showed us your real face now. You have incredible comprehensive abilities, we should be friends.”
“How could I refuse?” Lin Feng smiled. These people were supreme cultivators!
“Don’t say Master anymore, call me Ordinary, and you know the three others: Sa Leng, Old Ghost, and Woodcutter. You’re much, much younger than us, so consider us older brothers,” said the Earth Area’s supreme cultivator. When smiling naturally, he looked extraordinary.
“Brother Ordinary,” Lin Feng smiled. He liked to adhere strictly to formalities, too.
“By the way, Lin Feng, how long have you been practicing cultivation?” asked Old Ghost.
“Less than a hundred years,” Lin Feng replied with a grin. The supreme cultivators were astonished, and gasped with amazement. Lin Feng was already a low-level Saint, how impressive! He really was an incredible genius!
“The younger generations will surpass us in time,” Woodcutter sighed. “I’ve never heard of such a terrifying cultivator.”
“Master, there are two cultivators in here whose cultivation speed was faster than mine,” said Lin Feng. The cultivators were stupefied. One was already incredible, but several was even more unbelievable.
“We’ve been stuck inside for so long, the world changes,” said Old Ghost. The others sighed.
“There are new geniuses all the time. Everything changes, of course. When there are many strong cultivators in the world, everything becomes chaotic,” whispered Woodcutter.
“You’re right, the outside world has already become chaotic,” said the old ox indifferently. Lin Feng was startled. These people were really strong, they knew all the details, was something terrible really going to happen in the Continent of the Nine Clouds?
“Lin Feng has been here for twenty years and has passed all the exams. He’s very lucky. From now on, the Starlit Area will never return,” said the old ox indifferently. Lin Feng was stunned: the Starlit Area of the Godly Grave was going to disappear forever?
Many years had passed, and the Starlit Area had always existed in the Godly Grave. Was it truly going to disappear forever? It was one of the nine areas, wasn’t that place a god’s grave?
“Lin Feng, go in,” the old ox told Lin Feng. Lin Feng looked at the palace; what was he going to find inside?
The supreme cultivators were excited for Lin Feng, but unfortunately, they had failed so they couldn’t follow him.
“Brother Ox, can’t you show us a little bit?” asked the Earth Area’s supreme cultivator with a smile.
“Impossible,” said the old ox firmly.
Lin Feng looked at them and said, “I’m off, brothers.”
“Go. The old ox is not nice to us,” said Ordinary, somewhat annoyed.
Lin Feng walked towards the palace. Suddenly, stars emerged and turned into an ancient path. The ancient path was brilliant and shone over everybody.
“Everyone, you can take that path to leave the Godly Grave. If you don’t leave, you’ll be teleported back to the place where you were in the Godly Grave. You have three days. Think carefully,” said a voice in the sky. Everybody was astonished: we can leave this place?
I’m not done with the exam, how could there only be three days left?, thought someone who was taking the exam in the distance.
“Hahaha, finally, we’ll be able to leave!” Someone burst into frantic laughter. Finally, they were going to be able to leave!
“I’m finally going to leave the Godly Grave in which I’ve spent so much time.” Someone started walking on the starry path, and disappeared.
Everybody could see the path. Some people frowned and looked at the starry path, “I came from there, I recognize that road.”
They quickly left
It was the first time in a hundred thousand years that people had seen a path to leave. There were different roads, actually, leading to different worlds.
The four supreme cultivators had mixed feelings.
“We’re all going to leave this time,” said Ordinary indifferently. They had been stuck in the Godly Grave for such a long time, and now they were finally going to leave. However, they felt a bit sad to leave too.
“Now we can all leave, even if we didn’t have enough points. People who are not Saints usually want to leave as soon as they’re in the Godly Grave. When Saints come, they want to take the exam, but now everybody is probably going to leave.”
“Of course. And after having spent such a long time in the Godly Grave, seeing the outside world must be incredible, it will be incredible outside,” said Ordinary with a grin.
“Ordinary, you and me, as well as Old Ghost all come from the Continent of the Nine Clouds, where all twelve Shrines are, right?” asked Woodcutter. One of the roads seemed familiar, it was the one which led to the Continent of the Nine Clouds.
“Yes, Sa Leng comes from somewhere else,” said Old Ghost nodding. They all looked at Sa Leng.
“The nine of us have fought a lot in this world, but we had no serious battles. Do you remember what we guessed?” Sa Leng asked the crowd, “I think we were right.”
“Yes, gods create worlds. They haven’t created only one world, every god must have their own world. The worlds are not connected, they’re independent, just like small and great worlds. I think that there must be ways to travel between them, but that we just don’t know about them, or where the passages are,” said Woodcutter.
“The Continent of the Nine Clouds is the most complete world and the vastest. Maybe it’s the main world. I’ll come to the Continent of the Nine Clouds to see this time,” said Sa Leng.
The other cultivators were surprised and asked, “You want to come with us to the Continent of the Nine Clouds?”
“Yes,” replied Sa Leng.
“Haha, awesome, we won’t be lonely with you. So many years have passed, nobody must remember us in the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Let’s go,” said Ordinary, flying up.
“Let’s go.” The cultivators rose up in the air, one after another.
“Old friends, how come you’re not waiting for us?” asked someone, as six more people appeared.
“Are you going to the Continent of the Nine Clouds?” asked Ordinary. He was surprised.
“Yes, the Continent of the Nine Clouds.”
“Hahaha, if we all go, it’s going to be the beginning of a new great era in the Continent of the Nine Clouds!” said Ordinary, laughing loudly. Then, they all started walking on the path which led to the Continent of the Nine Clouds, and disappeared.
Everybody had heard them clearly. Many people from other worlds were stupefied, was the Continent of the Nine Clouds really the main world? Many people wanted to go and explore the Continent of the Nine Clouds now.
At their cultivation level, going back to their own world was pointless, they wanted to explore!
