Chapter 1812: Apparition Of A Palace
The little girlfriend Hu Yue was talking about was Mu Yun. Mu Yun was very happy to see Lin Feng, and smiled at him gently. She was so happy to see him that she didn't know what to say, she just forgot to talk.
"You're so beautiful!" said Lin Feng. He didn't know what to say, so he just said that and smiled. Mu Yun shivered and blushed deeply.
"How's your journey going?" asked Mu Yun, changing the topic quickly. She still looked every bit as beautiful and gentle as before.
"It's going alright. And you, aren't you bored here?" Lin Feng asked her.
Mu Yun shook her head and said calmly, “I'm not bored. I study a lot, I learned how to make many new sorts of herbal potions and drugs. Sometimes when I have time, Sister Hu Yue helps me practice cultivation. I'm very happy here. I don't miss the tribe at all."
"I'm going back there. If you want to go to the tribe, you can come with me." Lin Feng knew that Mu Yun was a simple person, and didn't want to become an extremely strong cultivator, as she didn't like competition. She used to be a Priestess, and just like before, she just wanted to help people.
"Go back?" Mu Yun looked stupefied, “Can we go back?"
"Yes, nobody will dare oppress the tribes in the desert anymore. We're going to crush the nine great celestial castles!" promised Lin Feng, smiling and nodding at her.
Mu Yun looked at her thatched hut as an old man came out and told her, “Yun, if you want to go back, you can. You can come back and stay with me sometimes."
"Teacher!" said Mu Yun.
Hu Yue flitted over next to her, smiled and said, “Sister Yun, don't worry, you can go back. You must be bored being all alone in Yao Ye Island. Go with Lin Feng, he'll take care of you."
Mu Yun glanced at Lin Feng and shook her head, “I'm going back to the tribe. If I stay with Lin Feng, I'll just bring him trouble."
"Alright, say goodbye to your teacher then!" Hu Yue told her. Mu Yun walked over to the thatched hut, and spoke for a time with the old man. Although she was sad to do so, she was going to leave.
After leaving, Hu Yue moved even faster than Lin Feng, as if she were in a hurry. Lin Feng was speechless.
"Lin Feng, after you left, a great emperor of the Everlasting Palace came here. Surprisingly, he spent two years in Yao Ye Island, he was very patient. But in the end, since he didn't find you, he left," Hu Yue smiled icily as they flew along.
Lin Feng doubted that the Everlasting Palace would forget about him. They had also chased him on the path from Gold Fire City to Vast Celestial Ancient City. Surprisingly, they had also sent people to Yao Ye Island…
The three of them went back to the others. The group was even stronger now with Ban Ruo, Xing Zhan, Li Hen, Yuan Fei, and Hu Yue added to their numbers.
"Are you leaving?" Shen Yu asked Lin Feng and the others.
"Yes, Uncle Shen Yu. I'm truly happy to see that you're all still fine," Lin Feng bowed to the elder. Cultivators were straightforward here, everyone was fine, that was the most important thing.
"Alright, Hu Yue will stay with you, the situation could be dangerous. If Emperor Ni Chen causes trouble, remind him of the agreement. I don't mind teaching him a lesson and showing him how weak his disciple was," Emperor Shen Yu said evenly. Lin Feng nodded agreement.
Back then, when Emperor Shen Yu had taken Lin Feng away, Emperor Ni Chen and Emperor Shen Yu had agreed to have a contest at some point to see whose disciple was the strongest. If Emperor Shen Yu hadn't reminded Lin Feng of that, Lin Feng wouldn't have remembered. He had really forgotten about it. After all, Qi Yu Chen and Zhou Tian Ruo couldn't compete with him anymore.
Ni Chen's favorite disciple was Wen Ao Feng. Even if he was a real genius, and even if he had already become a low-level emperor a long time ago, he couldn't possibly have broken through to the medium Huang Qi layer. Not everyone could be like Chu Chun Qiu!
"Uncle Shen Yu, uncles, see you!" Lin Feng waved at everyone. Ban Ruo and everyone else waved too as their group left.
They were finally going to Qing Di Mountain!
——
There were a dozen people in the boat already, with four beautiful women among them: Qing Feng, Mu Yun, Mu Lin Xue, and Hu Yue. They were all beautiful in their own way. Hu Yue kept provoking Lin Feng and asking him about his relationship with Qing Feng, she also asked him if Mu Lin Xue liked him or not. She found it amusing.
She knew about everybody, and she also knew about the things Lin Feng had done in the Holy City. Even though she enjoyed annoying Lin Feng, everybody in the boat liked her and found her funny. It was a pleasant journey, especially as the people got to know another. After all, they all knew each other thanks to Lin Feng.
So many years had passed, and Qing Di Mountain was a gigantic territory, nothing major had happened there. People had their own lives in their own castles. Cultivators could choose their own path.
The members of the nine great celestial castles were no different. Even though there were still tensions between various cultivators, they still lived peacefully together. However, all in all, everybody understood that there were important tensions between Celestial Qi Castle and Celestial Wen Castle. After all, the Celestial Wen Castle had taken control over the small world, and were going to manage it for ten thousand years.
At the same time, because of Lin Feng, tensions had appeared between the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine and the Celestial Qi Castle. After he left, the situation had become better, but the battles between their members were still intense, especially between their younger people. Even those who eventually joined Qing Di Mountain were like that.
—
In the buffer zone of the nine great celestial castles, there were many people gathered at a certain vendor's booth.
Xia Tian Fan was walking down the street, he had just bought some ore and emerged from a pavilion. He frowned.
"What's going on here? Surprisingly, there are so many purple meteorites. They are very useful for holy marks. They can also be used to fabricate weapons and to carve deployment spell marks. But why would someone need so many? Besides, they're quite expensive, buying them in bulk requires lots of money."
Xia Tian Fan frowned. He didn't understand. Who was buying so many meteorites?
"Purple meteorites have limits, but they're very hard, even emperors can't easily destroy them. Only two people have stock in the nine great celestial castles, the Celestial Wen Castle and the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness. They probably want to know who those people are more than we do," spoke up someone next to Xia Tian Fan. They didn't understand. How much did so many purple meteorites cost? And who was behind such a transaction?
"I want to know why he needs so many purple meteorites," whispered Xia Tian Fan. He raised his head and looked at the people in front of him: Zhou Tian Ruo and Wen Tian Ge.
"Brother Xia, I trust you have been doing well since we last met," Zhou Tian Ruo greeted him cordially Xia Tian Fan.
Xia Tian Fan ignored him indifferently, and looked to Wen Tian Ge, angering Zhou Tian Ruo. Xia Tian Fan was such a bastard, giving him no face whatsoever.
"Do those people want other things?" Xia Tian Fan asked Wen Tian Ge.
"They do. They also want red fire stones, melted golden sand, and they want to buy in bulk," admitted Wen Tian Ge. Xia Tian Fan shivered. Those materials were extremely hard. People used such materials to build secret rooms. What did they want to do?
"Can the Celestial Wen Castle say who the buyer is?" asked Xia Tian Fan.
Wen Tian Ge shook his head, “I just know that they're from a terrifyingly powerful clan. They paid a good price, so we couldn't refuse the transaction. We'll quickly know what they want to do," Wen Tian Ge said, nodding to Xia Tian Fan before leaving.
——
Wen Tian Ge was right. Ten days later, they learned what those people wanted to do.
In the buffer zone in the space of one night, palaces appeared in a picturesque disorder, the corridors all intertwining. It looked like a new small town. Someone had destroyed the other buildings which were there initially. Nobody complained, which meant they had been paid well.
When the crowd saw this, they were as astonished as if they had seen a mysterious thing. Cultivators had incredible powers, but building such a city in one night was incredible, especially using such materials.
That wasn't a small world created by an emperor, people had built those buildings with the materials purchased recently!
PMG Chapter 1813
Chapter 1813: Offering Great Imperial Scriptures
"Yesterday evening, I heard loud sounds and my apartment kept shaking. When I came here, I saw those palaces," spoke up someone in the crowd. He had been shocked during the night.
"I can confirm that, I live over there. Someone came up to me and paid me to find a new place. I accepted. I walked away and when I turned around, I saw that!" said someone else. They were all curious. Who had done that? However, at that moment, many people were afraid too. After all, the one who had build those buildings had to be an incredibly strong cultivator. They were afraid to offend him!
At that moment, a group of people came out of the palace. Those people looked ordinary, they were all ordinary Zun cultivators. They weren't strong cultivators at all, but at that moment, they were carrying a gigantic stone shield. On that gigantic plaque, some words were carved.
Those who go will be held responsible for their own actions.
The cultivators put the shield above the entrance and then went back inside. The words contained terrifying sword and immortal meaning!
An emperor carved those words!, thought the crowd. Then, they looked at those who had put the shield in place and asked, “Who's the owner of that vast palace?"
"We have been hired for this job, we don't know who the owner is. But you should be careful, don't violate the rules," answered one of them, before continuing into the depths of the palace. The crowd was stupefied, what a mysterious thing! They were all curious. Who had built this building?
"Jin Chen Jun!" shouted someone at that moment. The crowd moved aside for the strong cultivator from the Celestial Qi Castle, Jin Chen Jun.
"The Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine is here too." At that moment, a middle-aged man arrived as well, an emperor from the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine. The two of them looked at the palace.
"Jin Chen Jun, who do you think the owner of that celestial palace is?" asked the strong cultivator from the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine to Jin Chen Jun.
"We should go in and see!" smiled Jin Chen Jun.
The strong cultivator of the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine smiled back and said, “I know you are very strong, you control gold cosmic energy and you have been protecting the Celestial Qi Castle for such a long time. Therefore, you should go in first."
Even emperors are afraid to go in, thought the crowd, shivering despite themselves. Jin Chen Jun and the strong cultivator of the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine were both emperors, but they didn't dare go in.
"What is going on?" A new group of people arrived and landed there. The crowd moved away from them cautiously.
Jin Chen Jun looked happy, the Young Master was there!
"Master Yu Chen," said Jin Chen Jun, bowing. That person was Jin Chen Jun, a direct descendent of the Celestial Qi Castle.
Qi Yu Chen was a genius of the Celestial Qi Castle. Even though he had lost in battle many times, he had also broken through to the Huang Qi layer.
Besides, he had another social status, he was also one of Qing Di Mountain's cultivators.
Qing Di Mountain's cultivators had a particular position in the hierarchy of the region, a symbolic social status. They were noble and strong. Qing Di Mountain's cultivators had the potential to become medium-level emperors, or even high-level emperors!
"Young Master, this palace…" said Jin Chen Jun.
Qi Yu Chen shook his head and said, “This palace was built in one night using purple meteorites. I know."
Jin Chen Jun nodded and didn't add anything. Qi Yu Chen walked up to the palace.
"I am Qi Yu Chen from Qing Di Mountain, I came to greet the owner of the palace! I hope I can see him."
Qi Yu Chen didn't say he was from the Celestial Qi Castle, he said he was from Qing Di Mountain. In this region, nobody dared offend Qing Di Mountain, they were the rulers here.
However, nobody replied to Qi Yu Chen. He was initially very self-confident, but his self-confidence was crushed.
The atmosphere was completely silent. Qi Yu Chen frowned and shouted furiously, “I am Qi Yu Chen from Qing Di Mountain and I came to see the owner! Come out, or I'll come in!"
The owner must be terrifyingly strong, he dares ignore Qing Di Mountain!, thought the astonished crowd. Their hearts were pounding.
"Hmph!" Qi Yu Chen looked furious and he walked into the corridor and said, “Since nobody is coming out, I'll go in."
"How noisy!" shouted a mighty voice at that moment. Someone rose up into the air, their silhouette gigantic. Their strength kept exploding in the air around them.
"An emperor!" Jin Chen Jun frowned. Finally, an emperor had come out, but it was only a low-level emperor.
"Are you blind?" said Tantai, releasing more of his Qi. Qi Yu Chen also released his Qi straight towards Tantai. A golden scroll appeared and surrounded Tantai.
"Let's see what you can do!" said Qi Yu Chen, releasing more and more empty space cosmic energies. He was from the Celestial Qi Castle and Qing Di Mountain, who dared cause trouble there?"
A lion roared, loud enough that the earth and the sky started shaking violently, and millions of lions charged towards Qi Yu Chen. He had the sensation his head was going to explode.
Tantai jumped away, he punched out as the lions rained down on him. The gigantic army of lions made the ground shake violently, the earthquake intense. The crowd shivered as they sensed the Qi, it was terrifyingly strong!
Qi Yu Chen's face changed drastically. His golden scroll surrounded him and he retreated even further. However, there were lions everywhere. A terrifying strength reached out for him, he raised his hands to protect himself, but the lions kept striking him. Blood splashed and he was sent flying helplessly.
"Master!" Jin Chen Jun's face turned deathly pale as he caught Qi Yu Chen. Qi Yu Chen looked extremely weak, he had the sensation that his viscera were destroyed and his chest was burning. His face had turned grey.
Qi Yu Chen had never suffered such a crushing defeat, even back then when Lin Feng had defeated him. He had also never looked this desperate. He had a great reputation, especially since he had become a cultivator in Qing Di Mountain. People admired him, he was considered a genius. And now, facing another low-level emperor, he hadn't withstood a single attack.
The crowd was astonished. The lions were still roaring. How terrifying! How could a low-level emperor be so strong?
Is that the leader? What is his social status?, wondered the crowd as they looked at Tantai.
Jin Chen Jun looked at Tantai and asked, “Your Excellency, who are you? Are you the owner of the palace?"
"Who the fuck do you think you are to even talk to me? Fuck off! If anyone dares come here again, I'll crush them!" shouted Tantai extremely aggressively. His voice exploded in the air and pierced through people's ears. Then, he grunted coldly, turned around, and disappeared in the palace.
Jin Chen Jun was petrified. He didn't have the right to talk to him?
Jin Chen Jun understood that he couldn't do much, so he turned around and brought Qi Yu Chen away. The strong cultivator of the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine frowned and left at the same time. How many people were there inside the palace?…
——
People in the crowd kept talking about this. That person was so strong and terrifying. Those lions had created an earthquake and had an explosive strength. He could even pressure medium-level emperors, and had defeated Qi Yu Chen in the blink of an eye! Would the Celestial Qi Castle react?
The news spread quickly through the nine great celestial castles. Everybody knew that a mysterious palace had suddenly appeared, and that there were terrifying emperors inside. A cultivator from there had totally crushed Qi Yu Chen from Qing Di Mountain!
—
On the second day, more news spread, that palace had created a sect and they were recruiting disciples. The name of the sect was Tiantai!
Tiantai recruited disciples, their cultivation level didn't matter much. People who weren't emperors yet received low level imperial scriptures, low-level emperors received medium-level imperial scriptures, medium-level emperors received high-level imperial scriptures.
The most astonishing thing was that people who became core members of Tiantai also received great imperial scriptures!
The news spread quickly and amazed everyone in the nine great celestial castles. Qing Di Mountain quickly heard about it, and everyone was astonished.
Great imperial scriptures were wondrous and rare. In this region, only Qing Di Mountain dared transmit great imperial scriptures, but now if people became core members of Tiantai, they could receive great imperial scriptures!
PMG Chapter 1814
Chapter 1814: Protected
In the Celestial Qi Castle, a group of people were at the top of a certain castle. Qi Yu Chen's injuries were already healed, but he wouldn't be able to use his full strength for a while. His face was long, unable to forget the humiliation.
A descendant of the Celestial Qi Castle, a Qing Di Mountain cultivator, he was considered a great cultivator here, but surprisingly, this new palace had appeared, a strong cultivator had come out and injured him. He had suffered a crushing defeat!
"Emperor Dong, Tiantai used to be a powerful group in the small world, isn't there a problem?" a middle-aged man asked Emperor Dong coldly. Emperor Dong had only one arm left. Back then, Lin Feng had thrown a talisman at him and he had lost an arm, which he still couldn't recover. He knew that Celestial Qi Castle wouldn't waste resources to help him.
Emperor Dong was furious. He hated Lin Feng, but unfortunately, back then, Lin Feng had managed to escape and he had gone to Yao Ye Island. Qi Yun Sheng and Qi Yun Lei had been killed by members of Yao Ye Island. He still remembered those events perfectly.
On that day, the leaders of the nine great celestial castles had not shown up. Emperor Ni Chen had been forced to leave. Lin Feng had taken Yuan Fei and the others away from them.
And now a new palace had appeared, and they had created a new group, Tiantai, in the nine great celestial castles' buffer zone. Emperor Dong was surprised at their daring.
"In the small world, there was a Tiantai, and Lin Feng was a member of Tiantai, but they only had Zun cultivators back then. Even their two emperors weren't that strong; one of them was a medium-level emperor, and the other was a low-level emperor. Even after a few years, they couldn't possibly have become much stronger. They even give great imperial scriptures to core members, I don't think it can be the same. They are definitely different," guessed Emperor Dong.
The middle-aged man's eyes were glittering. He looked at Qi Yu Chen and asked, “Yu Chen, how strong was the cultivator you fought, and what skills did he use?"
"He's very strong. when he shouts, heaven and earth shake violently. He also punched out and lions appeared. His cultivation, skills, and techniques are incredible. Even in Qing Di Mountain, there aren't many people who could deal with such cultivators, and even those who could are probably core disciples. I don't think it's the same Tiantai you mentioned. They just happen to have the same name," agreed Qi Yu Chen.
"But Tiantai built their palace in the buffer zone, so we have to be careful," said the middle-aged man. This Tiantai was truly mysterious. They had appeared in a single night, they didn't even know who was inside. This was a dangerous time.
"Should we inform the leader of the castle?" Emperor Dong asked in a low voice.
The middle-aged man looked at Emperor Dong coldly without saying anything. Emperor Dong lowered his head and shivered to himself.
"If we tell the leader about this, he'll think we're pieces of trash!" the man eventually answered icily. Emperor Dong pulled a long face. He was being scolded like a teenager!
"Find some emperors, and send them to Tiantai to see what's inside!" said the middle-aged man. The others nodded. This was an emergency!
The Celestial Qi Castle wasn't the only group who thought of doing that. Tiantai had appeared so suddenly, so the nine great celestial castles had to find out who they were. Since Tiantai was recruiting people, why not seize that opportunity to go in and explore Tiantai?
——
In the following days, more and more people headed to the buffer zone, the stream of them was endless. Tiantai refused nobody. All the newcomers were sent to the same courtyard.
The recruiters were Qin Wu, Wu, and Tantai. They were naturally all strangers to the nine great celestial castles.
"Since Tiantai is recruiting people, why do we have to wait here?" someone asked Qin Wu. That person was getting impatient. He was also an emperor, he had come to get ancient scriptures. He wasn't interested in Tiantai, unless Tiantai was powerful enough to make him rise as a cultivator.
"Please be patient. We're organizing everything. You are the one decided to join us," replied Qin Wu calmly.
"We've already been waiting for half a day. How long do we still have to wait? Can you tell us precisely?" asked someone else. Qin Wu frowned and smiled coldly. He already knew that some people would be annoying.
"We are recruiting people, we're not recruiting grandpas. If you don't want to wait, you can leave," replied Qin Wu coldly. Many people groaned in aggravation.
"We are already here, how could we leave? You must tell us why we're waiting, or at least, give us the ancient scriptures you promised," someone else demanded.
"Indeed. You think you can make us leave when you wish? You're insane!" someone else spoke up. The crowd was getting really impatient.
"I've never seen such conceited disciples!" Tantai swore loudly. Wu stared at those people, his eyes filled with burning suns. He didn't want to deal with these things, but since he had lost against Lin Feng back then, he had to obey his orders.
However, Lin Feng didn't care about these people.
"I just have one thing to tell you, if you don't want to be part of Tiantai, then leave. Nobody is forcing you to stay here. If anyone talks shit again, I'll kill them!" Wu promised emotionlessly. The crowd frowned. The Zun cultivators remained silent, of course. Among the people who really wanted ancient scriptures, there were also people who didn't mind waiting, especially if Tiantai was that strong. In the future, they'd be able to compete with the nine great celestial castles. Cultivators didn't mind waiting for a few days for such things.
"How arrogant!" an emperor responded coldly.
Bzzz!
Wu threw himself at that cultivator like a meteorite. That cultivator's face changed drastically as he retreated, but he couldn't compete with Wu in terms of speed. Wu immediately grabbed him with his claws and shrieked into his face as it started raining fireballs. The crowd saw that person's body being torn apart, and then the cosmic energies dispersed.
The people there were astonished. He had killed an emperor in the blink of an eye!
These people are terrifyingly strong. they seem much stronger than others of the same level, thought some emperors. Tiantai was a powerful group if their low-level emperors were this strong. Low-level emperors from the region couldn't withstand a single attack against them, even Qing Di Mountain cultivators like Qi Yu Chen!
The most terrifying part was that these people were also very cruel. They didn't care, they just killed emperors if they wanted, and they disrespected people like Qi Yu Chen.
Up in the air, Wu was surrounded by flames. He glanced at the crowd icily, and asked, “Is anyone else unhappy? I'll kill them!"
The rest remained silent, not daring to provoke him. He had just butchered an emperor like a child…!
In the region of the nine great celestial castles, emperors were very strong cultivators but in the Animal World, emperors were ordinary people!
"I would like to warn everyone, if you want to join Tiantai because you harbor evil intentions, then piss off! Otherwise, when the time comes, you won't have time to escape!" Qin Wu promised grimly. The undercover agents who had been sent by the nine great celestial castles were very nervous, as expected if Qin Wu knew that there were such people among the applicants. But they couldn't leave, as they had to obey orders and find out who the leader of Tiantai was.
—
A silhouette finally glided in. It was a beautiful woman: Qing Feng!
"Wu, bring them. Tantai and Qin Wu, stay here and have the next ones wait here," ordered Qing Feng. Qing Feng turned to the crowd and said, “Come with me."
The crowd followed Qing Feng quickly, wondering what kind of exam would they have to take.
In Tiantai's long corridors, the applicants glanced around. Many people were waiting. How could they become core disciples, and would they really receive great imperial scriptures?
After having waited for such a long time, it had became dark outside, but the crowd didn't leave. On the day after, the sun rose again, and they were still waiting.
"Someone is coming!" The crowd saw many people running quickly, they were carrying a corpse, what was going on?
Is that person dead? They had no Qi, thought the crowd, frowning at the sight. Very quickly, those people went outside and threw the corpse on the ground.
"Our brother told us to tell you: Tell the nine great celestial castles to stop sending undercover agents, otherwise we'll kill them all." Those people said that to the crowd, and then left again. The crowd was astonished. Those who were undercover agents in the crowd shook inside. Those corpses were from their groups!
Tiantai dared kill their people!
PMG Chapter 1815
Chapter 1815: Tiantai's Growth
The crowd didn't leave, calmly looking at the palace, but that calm gave people a sensation of suffocation.
Apart from corpses, the others had disappeared. Nobody came out.
What are the people in Tiantai doing?, thought the crowd. Tiantai was so mysterious. They were afraid of what was going on.
At that moment, in the palaces of Tiantai, there was a secret room. In the secret room, there were many talismans. Those talismans contained lots of skills and techniques. When people saw those talismans and saw that people had been killed, they didn't feel like leaving anymore. Before that, they had thought they could come, take some Ancient scriptures and leave. But now, it was different.
Those skills and techniques were too powerful, their existence too explosive. Even though they weren't Qing Di Mountain's cultivators and they had never been there, they knew that the disciples of Qing Di Mountain didn't have such powerful techniques.
And that was only the beginning. Those young people were unbelievably strong. At the same level, they could easily destroy their opponents. They even had great imperial scriptures! Very excited now, the newcomers continued waiting.
However, the newcomers could only become external disciples, no matter what their cultivation level was. They had to go through security checks to become internal disciples. If they became internal disciples, they could still obtain great imperial scriptures!
Apart from external and internal disciples, Tiantai also had core disciples, they were the equivalent of elders in some sects. They had access to incredible skills and techniques.
——
In a palace inside the complex, Lin Feng and the others were seated. Lin Feng asked Jun Mo Xi, “Mo Xi, your Hell technique is so strange, they have nowhere to escape."
"It attacks people's determination, but those whose determination is stronger than mine are not affected," said Jun Mo Xi with a quiet smile. “Lin Feng, you think promising things to them will be sufficient for them to be loyal?"
"In the world of cultivation, people do what is best for them. If we have nothing to offer, why would they join Tiantai? They will leave if we give nothing to them. If they obtain things, they'll want more, and they'll contribute to Tiantai's history," Lin Feng said calmly.
"Lin Feng is right. Besides, they can't possibly be like us, we're like brothers. What we want is social order, not loyalty," nodded Hou Qing Lin.
"So what do we do next?" asked Yuan Fei, his eyes gleaming with cold lights. He really wanted to go to the Celestial Qi Castle and kill them. They had enslaved him!
"No rush. We'll deal with the Celestial Qi Castle when the right time comes," said Lin Feng grimly. Even though all nine great celestial castles wanted to control small worlds, there were some groups they wanted to destroy above all, especially the Celestial Qi Castle.
Apart from the Celestial Qi Castle, they also wanted to kill the white-bearded old man of the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine, a medium-level emperor. Lin Feng remembered that old man perfectly, and really wanted to kill him. He had made his teacher kneel down! Lin Feng had to destroy the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine!
——
In the following days, nothing major happened in Tiantai. It was very calm. However, in different rooms, there were more and more people. Those were the newcomers. More and more people wanted to join.
Some people wanted to join because they were curious, or because they wanted to obtain Ancient scriptures. However, after joining Tiantai, people didn't come out again. The atmosphere was very calm.
The crowd also noticed that two medium-level emperors had joined Tiantai. They had stayed in there and hadn't come out.
The people were astounded, Tiantai was still expanding. New buildings appeared each morning and they were bigger and bigger. A fog also started appearing around Tiantai. People had the impression they were looking at an illusion when they looked at Tiantai's buildings.
The crowd understood that there was a powerful deployment spell caster in Tiantai. They remembered the purple meteorites that had been purchased, those were very useful for deployment spells. They had thought of everything when building Tiantai. Now the buildings were protected by incredibly powerful deployment spells. This mysterious group called Tiantai was quickly rising. Even the nine great celestial castles weren't protected by deployment spells!…
And now that the people were starting to pay attention to Tiantai, even the leaders of the nine great celestial castles couldn't continue ignoring them…
——
Today, many people gathered in the buffer zone. This time, people had come from everywhere, including many medium-level emperors.
"Celestial Qi Castle asked us to come here, why?" asked a strong cultivator from the Celestial Wen Castle, looking at a middle-aged man from the Celestial Qi Castle. These days, the one in charge of foreign affairs in the Celestial Qi Castle was Qi Yun Lin. Back then, Qi Yun Sheng had been killed by cultivators from Yao Ye Island, and then Qi Yun Lei's cultivation had been crippled, so Qi Yun Lin had started rising. He was very strong and had oppressed Qi Yun Xiao.
"As if you didn't know, Brother Wen, Tiantai is rising. You don't mind?" said Qi Yun Lin indifferently.
"Qi Yu Chen is one of the Qing Di Mountain's cultivators and he was attacked, you're very patient, you let them rise," retorted the strong cultivator of Celestial Wen Castle, smiling calmly.
Qi Yun Lin's eyes flashed angrily. The strong cultivator of the Celestial Wen Castle was making fun of him! However, he quickly controlled himself and replied indifferently, “Tiantai is rising. It's a problem for all of us. Besides, they're mysterious, don't you all feel nervous with them around?"
"Brother Qi, what do you think we should do, then?" asked the white-bearded man from the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine. He was the strong cultivator who had made Emperor Yu kneel down. He had a high social status within the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine.
"I also want to know what you intend to do, Brother Qi," spoke up Zhou Tian Xiao, Zhou Tian Ruo's older brother. He was very talented and quite strong. He had broken through to the Huang Qi layer a long time ago. His cosmic energies were already level eight, and he was getting closer and closer to becoming a medium-level emperor. Many people said that he'd become a medium-level emperor within ten years. The Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness attached much important to Zhou Tian Xiao.
"Since Tiantai established their group in the buffer zone of the nine great celestial castles, we can't just sit by and watch. We have to do something, we have to go there and understand the details. After that we can decide what we want to do, what do you think?" proposed Qi Yun Lin.
The strong cultivator of the Celestial Wen Castle smiled and said, “I've always known you were a careful person, Qi Yun Lin. I had thought you'd go there directly and kill people since they humiliated you."
Qi Yun Lin didn't care about what the strong cultivator from the Celestial Wen Castle said. Tiantai was a mysterious group, and nobody knew anything about them. They couldn't possibly go there alone.
"I think Brother Qi is right. Tiantai is mysterious and I think everybody still remembers Lin Feng?" spoke up a strong cultivator from the Celestial Si Kong Castle at that moment. Everybody remained silent. They all remembered Lin Feng. Back then, the Celestial Qi Castle had failed to kill him. Emperor Ni Chen had personally come, and still Lin Feng had managed to escape with the help of Yao Ye Island's cultivators.
"In Lin Feng's small world, Tiantai existed and he was a member of that group," said the strong cultivator from Celestial Si Kong Castle. People's eyes lit up.
"What you mean is that Lin Feng is back?" asked someone else.
"Maybe. We need to understand what's going on to ensure our safety," replied the strong cultivator from Celestial Si Kong Castle. Everybody understood what he meant. This place was their territory, and now Tiantai was rising here. It was dangerous, especially if they kept growing. In around ten days, they had already become quite large.
"I agree," stated the strong cultivator from the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness. Everybody nodded.
"Since everybody agrees, let's send some people to Tiantai!" said Qi Yun Lin. Everybody agreed. The nine great celestial castles wanted to join hands. Even if Tiantai was mysterious, they had to give the nine castles face!
PMG Chapter 1816
Chapter 1816: Chatting
Tiantai was mysterious and powerful, and their territory was now surrounded by fog. Even though they had risen in a short time, nobody knew anything about them, so nobody acted recklessly.
However, today the people of the nine great celestial castles had finally arrived at a decision. This time, the nine great celestial castles joined hands. Some medium-level emperors, dozens of low-level emperors, and a bunch of cultivators at the top of the Zun Qi layer gathered and surrounded Tiantai. People's hearts were pounding. They understood that the nine great celestial castles were finally going to do something.
How could they let Tiantai settle there? This was their territory. They were like kings here. The buffer zone was their market, and now, a powerful new group had invaded their buffer zone and settled there. Now, there challengers were rising, so they had to do something. They were finally about to do something about it. The masses had thought they'd react much earlier though, but Tiantai was extremely powerful. They had to be cautious.

At this moment, the entrance of Tiantai looked like an illusion, there was only fog.
What a powerful deployment spell, thought Zhou Tian Xiao staring at the mists.
"Luckily, it's just an illusion deployment spell. If it were a destructive deployment spell, it would pose a threat to a medium-level emperor." said a strong cultivator of the Celestial Summer Castle. There were all sorts of deployment spell casters. Some people knew illusion deployment spells, some others knew empty space deployment spells, and some extremely strong deployment spell casters also controlled several sorts of deployment spells.
"Back then, Lin Feng understood deployment spells, and here is Tiantai," mused the strong cultivator of Celestial Wen Castle, smiling indifferently. The members of the Celestial Qi Castle frowned, did that really have something to do with Lin Feng? Lin Feng had left for a few years only, and at that time, he hadn't even broken through to the Huang Qi layer yet. Could he be that strong?
Could Lin Feng have incredible great imperial scriptures? Could he buy extremely expensive, almost priceless, materials? Impossible…
"Let's go inside and we'll see," Zhou Tian Xiao answered patiently. Then, he shouted, “The nine great celestial castles have come here to great the leader of Tiantai!"
His voice spread through all the buildings of Tiantai. For an answer, a group of people came out and glanced at the members of the nine great celestial castles. They said nothing, though. They just watched them calmly.
"Everybody, may we enter?" asked a strong cultivator of the Celestial Qi Castle when he saw that those people weren't speaking. He was unhappy, those people were just cultivators of the Zun Qi layer. Usually, such people respected him, but these people didn't.
"If you have an invitation!" replied one of them, glancing at the crowd dismissively. The strong cultivator of the Celestial Qi Castle was infuriated.
"Damn it! The nine great celestial castles are here and you dare act so arrogantly!" shouted the strong cultivator of the Celestial Qi Castle, angry now. He was so loud that everybody could hear him in the palaces of Tiantai.
"Tiantai hasn't invited you. If you're not happy, then you can leave," one of those people retorted impolitely.
The strong cultivator of the Celestial Qi Castle was getting angrier. He was about to explode. "Who do you think you are talking to?"
"You're bullying our disciples. If the people of the Celestial Qi Castle take one step into Tiantai, they'll die, no exception," said another person at that moment. Everybody heard the voice, the onlookers were petrified. How aggressive and arrogant! The members of the Celestial Qi Castle couldn't go to Tiantai anymore.
Someone was threatening the Celestial Qi Castle in the buffer zone of their own region, what a humiliation! The faces of the Celestial Qi Castle members changed drastically. They all looked incredibly angry.
"People from the Celestial Summer Castle, from the Ancient Celestial Castle and from the Celestial Transformation Palace, please come in," spoke out yet another voice. People's eyes glittered. Tiantai had invited the Celestial transformation Palace, the Celestial Summer Castle and the Ancient Celestial Castle to come in, but not the members of the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness, the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine and the Celestial Wen Castle. Concerning the Celestial Qi Castle, there wasn't much to say.
"You're invited," said the visible members of Tiantai watching the members of the three groups. They were happy to go and see what was inside.
Those who hadn't been invited frowned and pulled long faces.
The people invited by Tiantai disappeared inside the palaces.
"We came to greet you and you humiliate us!" shouted the strong cultivator of the Celestial Qi Castle furiously.
"Keep calm. When they come out, they'll tell us everything," said the strong cultivator of the Celestial Wen Castle calmly. He wasn't angry.
The members of the three groups who had been invited walked in the corridors and arrived at a courtyard, where a banquet had been prepared. They looked to the young man who had the best seat. His Qi was extremely sharp. On his left and right, there were more young people, and they looked incredibly strong too. One of them was incredibly tall and sturdy, built like a tower.
Even though they are only low-level emperors, they look really strong. They must be from very famous clans, thought the group. Who controlled Tiantai? Why did all those young people look so extraordinary?
"Everybody, please have a seat," said Qin Wu, standing up. The guests sat down without fuss.
"You all came to Tiantai for a reason, I guess? Please, feel free to talk to us about anything," said Qin Wu before he sat down again.
"Sorry for being rude, but why did you come here, and why did you build Tiantai in the buffer zone of our territory?" asked someone from the Celestial Summer Castle straightforwardly. He didn't need to dance around what they wanted, either.
"Let me explain," interjected Wu. He glanced at the crowd, his eyes filled with burning suns, and continued, “I am not interested in knowing why you came here. However, we invited you and there are a few things you need to understand clearly. First, Tiantai is here and will stay here, and we will also expand. Secondly, Tiantai will also fight against some of the nine great celestial castles, but it can be avoided. Thirdly, Tiantai has determined some rules not only concerning this place, but also concerning the different small worlds."
As Wu talked, people's hearts started pounding. Weren't they going too far?
"Don't talk too hastily." Wu raised his hand, then he continued, “I will not repeat those three things. Now, you can make a decision, you can be friends with us, or you can be our enemies. You are free to make your own decisions. You don't need to tell me anything, either. Just remember what I said."
How arrogant, thought the guests. They had never met someone this arrogant!
"Alright, let's enjoy the banquet. You can leave whenever you want. Keep in mind that people who were not invited aren't able to enjoy this banquet!" Wu stood up and left. The crowd was stupefied at his behavior.
"Everybody, he has a very bad temper. Sorry about that, but he's right! People who weren't invited won't even have the opportunity to drink with us," Tantai said cheerfully, laughing happily, “Everybody, come, let's drink!"
The crowd had many thoughts, but they couldn't refuse drinking with Tantai. Wu had told them they could make their own decisions, they could leave if they wanted to.
"Oh by the way, who's Tiantai's leader?" asked someone else, putting their glass back on the table.
Tantai and Qin Wu smiled and Tantai said, “Tiantai's leaders are its members. We are all like brothers. Besides, I can tell you one thing, nobody has a high cultivation level in Tiantai, but we managed to build Tiantai here."
"I can also tell you something, the one who initiated the construction project isn't a stranger. You know him. He doesn't consider you as his enemies, you can decide whether you want to be his friend or his enemy," Qin Wu smiled. Then, they both stood up and said, “Help yourselves!"
Then, Tantai and Qin Wu left. However, people's hearts were pounding. They knew the one who had initiated the project?
"It's Lin Feng, he's back." Xia Tian Fan had also come into the palace. He was the first one to break the silence. The crowd shivered. Lin Feng had caused much trouble in Celestial Qi Castle back then. He was back, and he had created a new group here!
When the members of the three groups left Tiantai, the others groups surrounded them with questions, but those people just smiled and glanced at them. They said absolutely nothing and left quickly. The people left outside was astonished.
As they people left, those outside heard a voice which from inside Tiantai, "Tiantai has a message for Celestial Wen Castle, Celestial Si Kong Castle, the Great Celestial Palace of Thoughtfulness, and the Celestial Palace of the Punishing Thunders. Iff you want to go to Tiantai, send your leaders. Regarding the Celestial Qi Castle and the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine, they said you could piss off."
PMG Chapter 1817
Chapter 1817: Forcing The Way
If the four groups wanted to go to Tiantai, they had to send their leaders. Celestial Qi Castle and the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine could piss off!
The crowd understood something now. The three groups who had been to Tiantai had been treated properly and politely, which was why they had said nothing and had directly left.
"Something else, tomorrow at noon. Tiantai will go to the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine," another voice rang out. The strong cultivators of the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine suddenly looked both furious and nervous.
"Alright, the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine will be happy to receive Tiantai!" a strong cultivator of the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine spoke up after remaining silent for a few seconds. They couldn't wait to see who Tiantai's cultivators were.
Tiantai was now surrounded by an illusion deployment spell, so they couldn't go inside to kill people. But if Tiantai's people came to their territory, then it was another story…
"Let's go!" The strong cultivators of the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine left. Other people started leaving too. The strong cultivators of the Celestial Qi Castle glanced at Tiantai coldly one last time and also departed.
The strong cultivators of the Celestial Wen Castle also glanced at Tiantai, their eyes gleaming.
Since Tiantai was behaving differently depending on who they were, it meant that they really had something to do with the nine great celestial castles.
Tiantai was very polite to the Celestial Transformation Palace, the Celestial Summer Castle, and the Ancient Celestial Castle. Tiantai wasn't polite to Celestial Wen Castle, Celestial Si Kong Castle, and so on, they asked them to send their leaders. And finally, Celestial Qi Castle and the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine were told to piss off. That wasn't even being impolite, that was a provocation!
Considering the circumstances, the strong cultivator of the Celestial Wen Castle had the feeling that Lin Feng had something to do with them. However, they still had doubts, because Lin Feng couldn't have become that strong so quickly, could he? Tiantai had said they would go and visit the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine tomorrow at noon. What would happen? What would they do?
"Everybody, it seems that we have to inform Qing Di Mountain," said the strong cultivator of Celestial Wen Castle indifferently. The others left immediately, understanding that they had to inform their sovereign.
Tiantai was mysterious, so they didn't try anything dangerous. They had to be careful, especially now that there was an illusion deployment spell around Tiantai's palaces now. They would need to wait and see.
The news that Tiantai was going to the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine on the morrow quickly spread throughout the nine great celestial castles. Many people started going to the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine to enjoy the spectacle.
The members of the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine also informed their leaders. Some strong cultivators started gathering in the buffer zone at the entrance to the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine. They were going to see what Tiantai was going to do to them!
—–
The next day, the sun was shining and at its highest. Although it was quite warm, some people were getting chills. Many strong cultivators were here now, heading to the buffer zone of the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine.
At the entrance of the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine, the atmosphere was lively. Inside the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine, outside of a building, a white-bearded emperor in white clothes looked at the sky. The sun was at its highest. He frowned and gazed into the distance coldly. It was almost time. Tiantai was going to arrive soon.
"Master, you were not here yesterday, but Tiantai humiliated the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine. They invited Celestial Summer Castle and two others inside, but they didn't invite Celestial Wen Castle and some others. However, they said the Celestial Qi Castle and the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine could piss off. They also said they'd visit us. They're extremely arrogant!" a strong cultivator reported coldly.
"I know," the white-bearded emperor answered calmly. “Today, we have six medium-level emperors, we also have eighteen low-level emperors, and I'm here, too. We'll see if they are strong enough to compete with such an army. If Tiantai bluffed, they're going to die here!"
"Apart from that little boy back then, I've never seen anyone that arrogant," someone else observed.
The white-bearded emperor smiled coldly and asked, “Ye Si, when will Ye Sheng arrive?"
"Don't worry. After Ye Sheng's defeat, he was so sad that he went to a dozen small worlds and gathered experience. After breaking through to the Huang Qi layer, he came back and went to Qing Di Mountain, he's practicing cultivation really hard there. Emperor Ni Chen thinks that he's even stronger than Qi Yu Chen and Zhou Tian Ruo. Ye Sheng can even compete with Wen Ao Feng! I told him to come back. He's going to come back with friends from Qing Di Mountain, they're all low-level emperors at least. Even if Tiantai is strong, they can't do anything to us. Qing Di Mountain's strong cultivators are incredible, they can probably kill those people."
"I'm not worried with you," the white-bearded emperor said indifferently. All the emperors around him smiled coldly. With Qing Di Mountain's cultivators, there was even less risk. Tiantai was going to be destroyed soon!
At that moment, people raised their heads and gazed into the distance, it was about time!
—
In the distance, a strong cultivator wearing white clothes appeared, he looked clean and simple. On his clothes, there was a Tiantai logo, a gigantic palace with an endless flight of stairs which rose to the skies. People's eyes locked on him.
So many strong cultivators. Thirty emperors, they recruited more than thirty emperors in such a short time? Incredible!, thought the crowd. They were stupefied. But there were also more than hundred cultivators of the top of the Zun Qi layer with them, and they were dragging a gigantic tank.
The tank was purple and dazzling, made of purple meteorites. There were nine dragons around it. Some people rode them. They looked majestic and imposing. There were also blurry silhouettes in the tank, as if they were in a deployment spell. Tiantai was still so mysterious. Nobody knew who or how many people there were in the tank.
These people still looked so unfathomable and enigmatic.
There were more and more people, the emperors of Tiantai were leading the way. Finally, they landed on the main road.
"They're here!" everybody had been waiting. However, when those people landed, people were suddenly covered with cold sweat. The Qi of Tiantai's cultivators was terrifying. Did they want to destroy the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine?
If Tiantai wasn't strong, would they have invaded the city, would they have come to the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine like this?
In the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine, people rose up in the air. However, they didn't dare prevent Tiantai's cultivators from moving forwards. The dragons and the tank continued moving forwards.
How audacious!, thought the white-bearded emperor, his facial expression changing drastically as he saw that army. Tiantai's people were arrogant. Even when the leaders of the nine castles traveled, they never did things like this. Tiantai was crazy!
"Stop!" shouted the white-bearded emperor extremely loudly. Silhouettes rose up in the air; more than twenty emperors, including six medium-level emperors! They all looked extremely strong. If Tiantai dared act that arrogantly, well, the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine was going to show them.
Tiantai's emperors, the dragons, and the tank all stopped. They were still surrounded by fog though, and nobody could see who was in the tank, or how many people there were inside.
"Since you're already here, in the Palace of the Celestial Kings of Medicine, why do you keep hiding? You should show your face!" the white-bearded emperor snorted coldly. He couldn't see through the fog, either…
