Chapter 2418: I Won’t See Anyone!
Edited by RED
The crowd was even more astonished than when the gigantic golden ape had killed Qiong Lin, a high-level Saint. Lin Feng had disappeared dozens of years. When he had left, he was still a cultivator of the Huang Qi layer! He had dazzled during the Pathfinder Day of the Imperial Ranking List, then he had finished first at the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. He had come back and destroyed some Ancient Holy Clans, but the crowd mainly remembered Lin Feng as a cultivator of the Huang Qi layer, and later as a great emperor.
A few decades was nothing to become a Saint. Saints were legendary cultivators, and especially a level two Saint. The inhabitants of the Holy City didn’t even dare imagine that, but Lin Feng had done it. Lin Feng had just killed a low-level Saint in front of them, not to mention a Saint who was at the top of a powerful group in the Holy City, the Celestial Martial Dynasty!
The Saint of the Celestial Martial Dynasty was dead, so the Celestial Martial Dynasty would probably collapse at some point. The crowd looked at Lin Feng and at the members of Tiantai.
Tiantai was going to continue rising.
When a man attains the Tao, even his pets ascend to Heaven. Lin Feng had attained enlightenment, so Tiantai rode on his success, too.
The golden ape was surprised, he hadn’t thought that Lin Feng was so strong. This guy had managed to become the new leader of the Star World, he didn’t have an undeserved reputation…
Mu Chen, Emperor Yu, and the others were stunned, gaping at Lin Feng. They had never thought Lin Feng would be so talented, he had changed so quickly…
“Little Lin Feng, I’m really surprised…” said Mu Chen, taking a deep breath.
“Indeed, I still remember everything we went through: the Qi Tian Peak, the meeting of the emperors. Back then he made a great show of your talents, and then we came to the great world, and continued being oppressed. However, Little Lin Feng continued rising, he became stronger and stronger. Back then, I still didn’t think he’d become a Saint so quickly. I hadn’t thought a Saint would appear in Tiantai, to be honest.” Emperor Yu was astonished. His disciple was a Saint? It was like a dream!
“I want to be like my teacher,” said Ye Chen, clenching his fists. He felt so weak.
“Uncle Lin Feng is so strong!” Lang Yan was astonished and pleasantly surprised. Tiantai was so lucky!
The crowd forgot all about the Celestial Martial Dynasty and their grand ceremony.
I never thought Lin Feng would already be so strong, sighed Dou Zhan Seng. He was proud and talented, but he felt like an insect in front of Lin Feng.
Lin Feng turned around and looked at the members of the Celestial Martial Dynasty. He said calmly, “I don’t care about the Celestial Martial Dynasty. However, I will destroy all those who betrayed Tiantai.”
All the members of the Celestial Martial Dynasty shook. They felt ridiculous, insignificant, and ashamed.
“Teachers, let’s go back,” said Lin Feng, smiling at Emperor Yu and Mu Chen.
“Go, back to Tiantai,” said Emperor Yu smiling. “Unfortunately, your fellow disciples are not here, otherwise, we would have a big party.”
“Yes, we’ll have other opportunities, though. We must do something together,” Lin Feng smiled. He looked at Ancestor Shi Tian, “Ancestor, come to Tiantai with us.”
“Alright,” said Ancestor Shi Tian, smiling and nodding along. Lin Feng’s social status was different now, he had become a king. He could now be more informal with the Ancestors. In the cultivation world, strength set the base for politeness and respect, not age. Of course, Lin Feng was usually polite, but he didn’t feel awkward or embarrassed, either.
Some people were embarrassed and felt awkward at that moment, though, such as Ancestor Zhu Tian…
——
The atmosphere in Tiantai was great and lively. Mu Chen, Emperor Yu, Lin Feng, Tantai, Yun Qing Yan, Qin Wu, Ye Chen, Lang Yan, and many others were all together at the heart of Tiantai. Ancestor Xuan Tian, Ancestor Shi Tian, and the others didn’t have assigned seats, so they sat wherever they wanted. Everybody was chatting happily.
“Lin Feng, how did you practice cultivation and become a Saint?” asked Yun Qing Yan. Her eyes were twinkling. She was curious.
“Just like that,” said Lin Feng, shrugging and laughing.
“Tell us about Saints then. We’ve never met Saints before, we’ve never properly chatted with one. We don’t even know what kind of strength Saints control,” said Yun Qing Yan.
“Yes, Lin Feng, please tell us about Saints. We’ve been Saint Emperors for so long, and we’re not able to transcend worldliness and attain holiness. Maybe the only person of Champion University who became a Saint was the founder. He didn’t write anything about it, though,” said Ancestor Shi Tian. He was curious, too.
“Alright,” Lin Feng agreed. “You all know what it’s like to be a great emperor. However, to become a Saint, you must understand what Celestial Dao is. That kind of strength can’t be studied formally, you must transcend worldliness to understand. When you understand it, you have the impression you have returned to your true self, you are one with nature, and your body becomes nature. Then, when you fuse strength together with Celestial Dao, it creates a Saint’s technique. That way, you create your own Saint’s techniques. That’s when you become a proper Half-Saint, and when you transcend worldliness and attain holiness.
“When you’re a Half-Saint and want to become a low-level Saint, you need to understand one sort of original strength: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, death, soundwave, and so forth. Anything is possible. Cosmic energy and Dao are original strengths, and Celestial Dao is a more advanced version of those. You understand when you have an advanced comprehension and knowledge of energies. Heavy strength and oppressive strength and earth strength all belong to the same category, earth original strength. Ice strength, frost strength, and rain strength all belong to the same category as well: water original strength. When you understand one type, you can carry out terrifying attacks, you can fuse original strength together with Celestial Dao. When you manage to do that, you become a low-level Saint.
“The Saint of the Celestial Martial Dynasty understood a water-type original strength, ice and frost strength. He fused it together with Celestial Dao and that’s how he created the ice throne. He could have easily killed a Half-Saint, but it was far from enough for him to become a high-level Saint. For that, your original strength must reach the maximum level. For example, you’d need to understand every earth-type strength to make your earth original strength reach the maximum level: heavy strength, oppressive strength, earth defense strength, and so on. Then, when you understand properly, your original strength reaches the maximum level. I haven’t been able to do it yet.
“Regarding peerless Saints, it’s even more complicated. Many high-level Saints understand many types of original strengths at the maximum level and don’t become peerless Saints like the golden ape. To become a peerless Saint, you must fuse special kinds of original strength together.”
Everybody was carefully listening to Lin Feng. It was fascinating, he was telling them about legendary Saints. Making one type of original strength reach its maximum level sounded like something extremely difficult. Saints were not from the same world as them anymore.
“Teacher, when you made me dream and practice cultivation, was that intent original strength?” asked Lang Yan.
“Indeed,” Lin Feng confirmed.
“No wonder. I could sense that my Dao had broken through, but I also knew that kind of strength in the dream was unreachable for me at the moment. I need to practice cultivation more. I hope I’ll become as strong as you someday, Teacher.”
“You will have opportunities,” Lin Feng smiled. He looked at Mu Chen and Emperor Yu. “Teachers, Tiantai went through a lot this time. Please select some of Tiantai’s disciples, people who are motivated, talented, loyal to Tiantai, and even if they’re not very talented, some who are very determined, wise, and kind. I want to give give them a lecture. I want to help them.”
Mu Chen was surprised, but nodded approvingly, “Alright, it’ll definitely help them. Can we also attend your lecture?”
“You’re flattering me, Teacher,” said Lin Feng, smiling wryly. He definitely wanted to help his two teachers, but not by giving them a lecture. Even though his teachers were willing to attend, Lin Feng couldn’t accept, he had the impression it was disrespectful.
“Lin Feng, we also want to attend your class,” Ancestor Shi Tian said to Lin Feng.
“No problem, Ancestors,” Lin Feng agreed.
“Lin Feng, Zhu Tian wants to come and apologize,” said Ancestor Shi Tian.
“He did it once already, but he’s petty and miserable. I am a student of Champion University, but I can’t tolerate seeing petty people at the top of the hierarchy in Champion University,” replied Lin Feng calmly.
The Ancestors were surprised, but not much. They nodded, “We understand.”
“I want to report something,” said someone at that moment. That person was standing at the gate.
“Speak!” replied Mu Chen.
“The new leader of the Celestial Martial Dynasty, as well as some founding members, are here with some people who betrayed Tiantai. They’re here to apologize,” said that person.
The crowd understood how the Celestial Martial Dynasty felt. They were afraid of Lin Feng. They even came to apologize!
They all looked at Lin Feng, and Lin Feng said, “I’m not seeing them. Just tell them three words: conduct yourselves well!”
“Yes!” replied the disciple. The crowd shuddered. Those who had betrayed Tiantai were probably going to go through hardships…
“Also, I heard that the Canaan Dynasty’s Saint wanted to come to pay you a visit,” said the disciple. The crowd shook again. A Saint wanted to come to pay them a visit?
“Tell them that I won’t receive guests for seven days. They can come in seven days and after,” said Lin Feng. The disciple bowed and left.
People were astonished. A Saint wanted to come and pay Lin Feng a visit, and Lin Feng just said he wouldn’t see anyone for seven days. How incredible!
The Ancestors of Champion University were astonished, too. If they hadn’t met Lin Feng when he was much weaker, they would have never met him!
