Chapter 2086: Mu Chen's News
Lin Feng took them to a palace, Holy Emperor Ling welcomed them personally. He smiled at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, these young people are all outstanding, are they our friends?"
"They're all from Champion University, and some of them come from the small world like me. We're like brothers and sisters," Lin Feng said to Holy Emperor Ling.
Holy Emperor Ling nodded and smiled. "Your friends are outstanding and extraordinary. In a few years, they'll amaze the whole region."
"Naturally. I hope they will all reach the maximum level on the path of cultivation and become peerless cultivators," Lin Feng said calmly. He sounded incredibly confident. He had faith in himself, but also in Hou Qing Lin and the others. They had all received the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures, as well as many other precious treasures. If they were determined enough, they could all become peerless cultivators. They just needed to practice, to be determined, and to give all they could.
Back then, Hou Qing Lin and Jian Mang had tried to go onto the Holy Way Stage. Two more steps… their blood and body as well as potential needed to be improved, but their determination was not a problem at all. Lin Feng's Kalpa Indestructible DevMara skill and his DevMara Kalpa strength cleansing technique were perfect for him so in terms of body, there was no problem, but might not be good enough for them.
When Holy Emperor Ling heard Lin Feng, he smiled to himself. Lin Feng was young and arrogant sometimes, but he could be that way because he was strong enough. When the beast masters had shown up, Lin Feng had remained fearless. He had even made the Seventh Beast flinch. The Saint had even attacked him by surprise, but had failed. Holy Emperor Ling was convinced that if Lin Feng didn't die, he'd become a peerless cultivator sooner or later.
"Since they're your friends, they can come in," Holy Emperor Ling said cheerfully, nodding at everyone.
—
He organized a banquet for them, everyone sat down and Holy Emperor Ling asked, "Lin Feng, the Animal District came back, do you know why?"
"There's something secret going on?" asked Lin Feng, intrigued.
"Maybe that they're not only interested in Qi Tian Holy Town, maybe they want the beast masters to get ready for the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds," proposed Holy Emperor Ling calmly. Lin Feng frowned, not understanding.
"The Continent of the Nine Clouds is divided into several regions: Godly Clouds, Dark Clouds, Green Jade Clouds, Red Clouds, Bright Clouds, Jade Clouds, Blue Pale Clouds, Purple Clouds, Supreme Clouds. People rarely travel between the different regions because there are only two ways of traveling between regions. The first one is to cross the Celestial Country, and the second way is to use an empty space tunnel. People who have the strength of the Huang Qi layer and under can cross the Celestial Country, but great emperors have no choice but to use an empty space tunnel. Therefore, people rarely have news about the other regions," Holy Emperor Ling said calmly. He had lived for many years, and he had been to another region only once.
"Do cultivators practice cultivation the same way as we do in other regions?" Lin Feng asked him.
"We can all reach the same goal by different routes, all roads lead to the capital. They are cultivators like us, but they have different methods. I've heard that in Red Clouds, people are incredible doctors. I've heard that in Blue Pale Clouds, there are many terrifying sword cultivators. People practice cultivation differently depending on where they're from. Godly Clouds is the central part of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, and it's also the strongest region, all the schools of thought contend there. Many geniuses like you, who have the potential to become peerless cultivators, want to go there to see the strongest geniuses of the world."
"What is that meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds? Where is it and who can go?" asked Lin Feng. He had heard of the regions of the Continent of the Nine Clouds; nine regions, one in the middle, eight around it. Godly Clouds was the only region which had a border with the other eight region; the other eight regions only had three borders with other regions, and they all shared a border with Godly Clouds.
"The Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds takes place every one hundred years. The Shrines organize it. This time, I think Destiny Shrine is in charge of the next one. The different Shrines handle the event once every thousand years. This time, it's Destiny Shrine's turn again. I wonder who will be fortunate this time," said Holy Emperor Ling. When Lin Feng heard that, his heart started pounding.
"So does that mean the Destiny Shrine will recruit people?" asked Hou Qing Lin, also remembering the Destiny Shrine, unable to restrain himself.
"Indeed, the Destiny Shrine will recruit people, the lucky ones will reach the apex in terms of power: a Shrine!" replied Holy Emperor Ling. The Shrines recruited people based on two kinds of circumstances: when they attached importance to someone they bumped into, mostly people who had king-type bodies, or people who proved they were strong during the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds.
Therefore, people who came from Shrines were all terrifyingly strong, and it was extremely beneficial for their families, like the He Clan from Tian Yuan Ancient City. They had some disciples in the Destiny Shrine. Because Godly Clouds was a region well connected to the Shrines, many people wanted to go there. It was also why Godly Clouds was the strongest region.
"So the Animal District raised those thirteen Young Beast Masters to enable them to go to Godly Clouds?" murmured Lin Feng.
Holy Emperor Ling nodded, "Indeed, they want their young masters to go to the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. There are also ones who want to become the First Master of our region, the Dark Night Region. Wu Jue is an example, and that's why the Wu Jue Holy Palace wants Wu Jue to have children before leaving. If Wu Jue dies abroad, then they won't have any more descendants."
When Lin Feng heard that, he smiled. Wu Jue really did want to have children with Yi Tian Jiao. The fact made Lin Feng laugh, he had thought the other was joking. Anyway, the strongest cultivators of the Continent of the Nine Clouds were progressing quickly. They had to, for the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, and to be the foremost cultivators of the region, too. Who would come back safe and sound, though? Only the strongest cultivators!
"We don't have geniuses in the Holy Spirit Dynasty. Lin Feng, don't miss this opportunity. The Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds is not just about being recruited as a disciple by a Shrine, it's also an incredible opportunity to receive priceless treasures," Holy Emperor Ling told Lin Feng. Lin Feng was only one step away from reaching the top of the Huang Qi layer. At that level, Lin Feng would become terrifyingly strong. Even though Lin Feng was still unable to dazzle at the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, he had time to progress!
Lin Feng muttered to himself irresolutely, saying nothing. He didn't want to miss the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, obviously.
At that moment, Lin Feng looked over at Hou Qing Lin, they lowered their heads and remained silent, they looked unhappy.
"Second fellow disciple, third fellow disciple, Ruo Xie, Xing Zhan, Ban Ruo, didn't you all come out just to practice cultivation?" Lin Feng's eyes glittered. If they had just come out to practice, why would they stay in such a big group?
"Brother, has anything happened?" asked Lin Feng.
Hou Qing Lin was stupefied, he raised his head and looked at Lin Feng. Then, he looked at Holy Emperor Ling.
Holy Emperor Ling smiled and said, "I'm off. If you need me, please ask for me, all of you."
The Holy Emperor left. Lin Feng was sure there was a problem now.
"Brother, what's going on?" asked Lin Feng again.
Hou Qing Lin raised his head again, looked at Lin Feng, took a deep breath and said, "Brother, we have news from Mu Chen."
"Mu Chen." Lin Feng's eyes glittered and he asked, "Where is he?"
"I didn't want to tell you at first, but since you want to leave for Godly Clouds, I have no choice but to tell you. When we left the small world back then, Mu Chen and Emperor Yu were connected by a thread of soul, and they had also exchanged jade talismans. Mu Chen's soul jade talisman is cracking." said Hou Qing Lin.
Lin Feng's heart twitched and his face turned deathly pale. He clenched his fists. "Is it broken?" he asked.
"It's not. It's strange. It's all cracked, it looks like a spider web. But it's not broken. He must be in danger. And Emperor Yu has received some news from him through a thread of soul." said Hou Qing Lin. He looked extremely nervous as he ground his teeth. He continued, "He told Emperor Yu that if he reincarnated, they'd still be like brothers, he also said that Godly Clouds would be his burial site, and that he had had a worthy life, he doesn't want his death to be avenged and he asked Emperor Yu not to tell us about it."
"Mu Chen went to Godly Clouds." Lin Feng's face stiffened. In the Dark Night Region, it would have been okay, but Godly Clouds was another story. How could they find him there? And from the message he had passed on, he had encountered a terrifying enemy. Otherwise, he would have never told them not to avenge his death. But why is his talisman only fissured and not broken?
"Yes, we don't know how, when or why, Emperor Yu wanted to go and find him alone, but we stopped him, then we decided to go and look for him ourselves, and asked the university to look after him."
"Brother, how could you hide the truth from me?" shouted Lin Feng furiously. It was the first time he was angry at Hou Qing Lin. How could they want to go to Godly Clouds without him?!
"Lin Feng, Shi Jue Lao Xian, and you have an agreement. Meng Qing is pregnant, we wanted to protect you. And if anything happens to us in Godly Clouds, at least you'll be able to avenge our deaths. After all, you are the most talented of all of us," sighed Ruo Xie. "But since you also want to go to Godly Clouds, then we can go together."
Lin Feng tried to calm down, but it was difficult. He said, "Tiantai's Disciples, all like brothers and sisters!"
PMG Chapter 2087
Chapter 2087: Judgement Day City
The members of Tiantai remained silent for a few seconds and then nodded, "Tiantai's disciples, all like brothers and sisters!"
"Even if we find Godly Clouds, how will we find our brother?" asked Lin Feng. They had to find him quickly, but it was easier said than done.
"The Ancestors of the university can help, they prepared some Great Imperial Weapons for us, including some Soul Locking Bells. Emperor Yu put Mu Chen's soul thread in the Soul Locking Bells, it can help us find him. Therefore, if we find Godly Clouds, we can find where he is. Of course, as long as…" Hou Qing Lin trailed off. Mu Chen wasn't dead yet, but his talisman was cracked.
"The matter should not be delayed. Let's get ready to leave!" said Lin Feng. They had to rescue Mu Chen! Lin Feng revered his dear teacher Mu Chen!
"Alright, good! We have a map. The border city between Godly Clouds and the Dark Night Region is Judgement Day City. It's also one of the eighteen main cities of the region, it's on the edge of the region. We should go to Judgement Day City first and then we'll use an empty space tunnel to travel to Godly Clouds."
Judgement Day City was the most special town in the Dark Night Region, due to its location as a border city with Godly Clouds. Some extremely strong cultivators sometimes used the empty space tunnel and went there. It was quite chaotic there sometimes. Sometimes extremely strong cultivators killed people to steal their treasures. Hence the name: Judgement Day City.
"I need to go and see my son first," said Lin Feng to Hou Qing Lin. Hou Qing Lin and the others were astonished, child?
"Lin Feng, you…"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "You don't know yet, right? I have a son in the Holy Spirit Dynasty too, his name is Lin Qiong Sheng."
"Is it Meng Qing's-"
"No." Lin Feng interrupted him and said, "Come with me."
—
His friends followed him to a courtyard. You You was playing with Lin Qiong Sheng, and when the child saw those people, he was curious.
"Brothers, that's my wife, Tang You You," said Lin Feng, pointing at Tang You You. Hou Qing Lin and the others were astonished. They had all heard Tantai talk about that battle when all the Dynasties had surrounded Lin Feng back then, a beautiful woman had almost died in Lin Feng's arms, that had been Tang You You. They hadn't thought Lin Feng would have a child with her.
"Qiong Sheng, come, greet your uncles and aunts," said Lin Feng, grabbing Lin Qiong Sheng's hand.
The little boy looked at the crowd and said, "Uncles and Aunties!"
"Good little boy. He is already a Tian level cultivator!" Hou Qing Lin hugged Lin Qiong Sheng and lifted him, smiling and saying, "Lin Feng, that little boy is already much stronger than us back in the days, he's growing up in an adequate environment."
"Indeed. When he's older, we'll make him go through some hardships!" said Lin Feng smiled. Cultivation couldn't be easy!
"Lin Feng, you should bring him to my tribe, but as a Tian level cultivator, it's already a pity," said Tantai looking at the child. Lin Feng rolled his eyes; Tantai's tribe raised young people differently. They didn't let them break through too quickly, they suddenly became much stronger after many years.
"You You, I'm going to Godly Clouds with my friends. Please stay here," Lin Feng said to Tang You You.
"I'll come with you. The Holy Spirit Dynasty will take care of Qiong Sheng," Tang You You said to Lin Feng.
"Alright, you can stay in that world then," said Lin Feng, caressing Tang You You's cheeks. She understood and nodded.
"How cool!" said Tantai. Everybody burst into laughter. Lin Feng turned around and punched Tantai's shoulder.
——
Lin Feng prepared some things for the trip. He also said goodbye to the Holy Spirit Dynasty's cultivators, they weren't going to prevent You You and him from leaving. As long as Lin Qiong Sheng stayed with them, it was fine.
——
Lin Feng and the others left for Judgement Day City.
On the same day, thirteen cultivators from the Animal Dynasty left, as well. When the strong cultivators of the different Dynasties saw them, they were startled. The thirteen strong cultivators were going to try their luck abroad. These days, the Animal District had proved they were stable and extremely strong, nobody would dare attack them. The thirteen strong cultivators had to rise.
——
In Wu Jue's Holy Palace, Wu Jue was lying in bed with a beautiful woman and said, "Wait for me, I'll come back."
Yi Tian Jiao looked at him furiously, wanting to kill him. Her lips bled. She still had mixed feelings. Wu Jue was a bastard, but he had managed to bring her back to have a child.
"I know you'll miss me," said Wu Jue smiling. He kissed her on the lips and said, "I'll come back as a hero and we'll have a real wedding ceremony!"
"You think I'll raise your child?" spat Yi Tian Jiao icily.
"We've been together for a few days already, why act like that? Wait for me, I'll come back."
Wu Jue caressed her cheeks and left. Then, he rose up in the air and left, he looked confident and at ease. Yi Tian Jiao's face was deathly pale, she was furious: that bastard!
——
During those days, another group of strong cultivators, including Saint Tianhun, left. There were many people from different Dynasties, including a lot of great emperors.
They all had one goal: Judgement Day City!
Every hundred years, Judgement Day City hosted many strong cultivators. It was a very ancient city. Every hundred years, the atmosphere became chaotic. The price to go to Godly Clouds was more expensive each time, the people who controlled the empty space tunnel kept increasing the price. Because of that, many people killed other people to steal their treasures to pay for the trip.
Many strong cultivators from remote places went there and realized that they still didn't have enough precious items to pay for a trip even though some of them took everything their family owned. Most grew desperate. Going to Godly Clouds wasn't easy!
Apart from that, the economic competition was also fierce, but doing business in Judgement Day City was a flourishing activity since it was a border city. Besides, every hundred years, many people also realized, when arriving, that the tickets for the empty space tunnel were sold out, fully booked. However, some people who had bought them in advance sold them at terrifying prices.
The people who controlled the empty space tunnel formed an alliance. Seven Ancient Holy Clans had joined hands to control it, and had a great deal of power in Judgement Day City. Nobody dared attack them, so they were very rich. Otherwise, people would have destroyed them, they owned such a terrifyingly profitable business.
——
At that moment, outside of the station, Lin Feng and the others asked some people about how to go to Godly Clouds. They were stunned. They learned that special boats were required to use the empty space tunnel, and they were extremely rare. Only one boat left every three months, and a boat could only accommodate a hundred people, it was far from enough. Therefore, people were sometimes here for years before going to Godly Clouds. Now, even though they were near Godly Clouds, it would be difficult for them to get tickets, especially since it was a peak period.
"What bastards. There aren't any tickets left for the boat in three months, and since you can buy tickets for a later date, because of them, we can't go to Godly Clouds," swore Tantai angrily. He was even wondering whether they were doing such a thing on purpose.
"It's normal. That way, if you really want to buy a ticket, you must buy it at ten times the price!" said Hou Qing Lin. He remained calm. They needed to find another way and in any case, Hou Qing Lin would have bought tickets if possible and sold them at a much higher price. He would have been a good businessman.
"So should we wait for three months?" asked Tantai.
"You can't get a ticket even if you wait, you'll just wait in vain, you won't get a ticket," said Lin Feng, "We need to find another way to get tickets."
"Alright, let's go and see the auction house," said Hou Qing Lin. The group had heard that Doomsday Auction House was the biggest auction house of Judgement Day City. Three tickets were sold there everyday.
Lin Feng and the others were furious. Who would wait for so long? There were more and more people everyday in Judgement Day City, which meant that if you waited, it got more and more difficult to get a ticket. For example, on the first day, there were a thousand people for three tickets, on the second day, there were two thousand people for three tickets and so on.
How cruel! Apart from Doomsday Auction House, the other auction houses had even less tickets, one every day. Getting tickets wasn't easy at all!
PMG Chapter 2088
Chapter 2088: Auctions
The Doomsday Auction House was an imposing auction house. Nobody had the advantage there, everybody was treated equally.
When Lin Feng and the others arrived, they were stunned and speechless. It was incredible, there were so many people, if someone obtained a precious treasure in front of everyone, wouldn't the strongest cultivators want to steal it from them?
Lin Feng and the others didn't know what to think.
At that moment, there were many people already. They had been waiting since the beginning. Lin Feng and the others joined the crowd and sat down high up in the bleachers. Since there were only three tickets every day, they wanted to obtain the first one at least. They couldn't waste time.
"Brother, you have the Soul Locking Bells, how's Mu Chen?" asked Lin Feng to Hou Qing Lin.
"He must be fine. We need to hurry," said Hou Qing Lin, nodding while inspecting the Soul Locking Bells.
"Yes, I'll sit elsewhere, we can't show everyone we know one another, it's safer," said Lin Feng. He stood up and went down the bleachers.
After a short time, Lin Feng arrived at the front lines, he saw a row where only one woman was seated. Some people waved at Lin Feng and said, "Your Excellency, please go elsewhere."
"Are there private rows in the auction house?" asked Lin Feng with a caustic smile, but he didn't insist. He just sat down in the third row, the auctions were going to start.
That woman is protected by great emperors, she must be from an ancient clan, thought Lin Feng. He didn't mind though. He didn't need to.
Hou Qing Lin and the others didn't show they knew Lin Feng. If Lin Feng got a ticket, it wouldn't be easy to find him, one person was more difficult to find than a group of people.
More and more people arrived. The place was vast, but it was comparatively silent. Nobody talked, and when they did, they just whispered.
—
Finally, some people from the auction house appeared at the same time. They carried all sorts of boxes and chests. They didn't put anything in rings.
The manager was a middle-aged man. He had an imposing appearance, and was a great emperor.
"Same old rules, offer a good price, there is no base price," said the middle-aged man, showing off a box. Everybody heard him clearly.
"We have to choose without seeing the item?" Lin Feng was stupefied. The Doomsday Auction House was strange.
Someone next to Lin Feng whispered, "Doomsday Auction House's rules, you can't see the first three items, it's all luck."
"What if it's a bad item? asked Lin Feng.
"Well then, you have no choice but to accept your fate." replied the person. Lin Feng was speechless. Then the person continued, "Of course, sometimes items are sold at a very low price and in the end were very precious, in which case many people regret not having bought it."
"Of course, the auctions are about luck too, you can't get all the items, there are so many people." Lin Feng understood. Only big auction houses could do such a thing because they constantly had many people. Maybe it was good, maybe not.
"So the first three items always belong to the Doomsday Auction House?"
"Wrong. All the items belong to them. If you want to sell your things here, you can't. If you want to sell something here, they buy it from you at a price which corresponds to your expectations and their calculations, and then when its theirs, they sell it. Of course, if your item is incredible, the Doomsday Auction House will be fair. The price at which they sell items you sold them has nothing to do with you anymore, even if they get an incredible price for it."
"Interesting." Lin Feng smiled. Many people started shouting prices. They didn't know what the item was, so nobody proposed a terrifying price. Most people were proposing Imperial weapons or ordinary scriptures, and sometimes some strange things.
"Great imperial scriptures, Rotten Hell Ocean, rotting strength, it makes people's blood rot instantly, it's perfect for people who control death cosmic energies," said Lin Feng calmly at that moment. Instantly, many people looked at him: Great imperial scriptures? And it was a very rare book! For an unknown item, it was a bit too much.
The middle-aged man on stage looked at Lin Feng and smiled indifferently, "Anyone else?"
Nobody said anything. Rare Great imperial scriptures were already too much.
"Alright, congratulations, you obtained the first item. When the third item is sold, you can come and pick up your item," said the middle-aged man, nodding calmly. He took out a second box and lifted it without saying anything. He had nothing to say so he remained silent. It seemed even more mysterious.
"Yellow Spirits Great imperial scriptures, they teach you how to condense yellow springs in your fingers and kill people, it makes them fall into the yellow springs," said Lin Feng again. The crowd frowned. An eerie silence took over.
However, at that moment, Lin Feng looked calm and serene as if he hadn't been proposing Great imperial scriptures. Lin Feng had spent much time in the Celestial Country, and had killed so many people, obtaining many ancient scriptures. All the books he had obtained were perfect for people who controlled death strength. He had obtained so many Great imperial scriptures from Hell. He had lots of books and all of them were precious, why not exchange them if he didn't need them?
Nobody tried to get the second item. When the man took out the third box, and Lin Feng proposed another Great imperial scripture from Hell, everyone was staring at him That guy had so many Ancient scriptures. He had just decided to exchange three Great imperial scriptures against three unknown items!
For Lin Feng, it didn't matter, he didn't care about those Great imperial scriptures. He hoped he'd get something great, though.
"Your Excellency, please come and get your items," said the middle-aged man nodding at Lin Feng. Lin Feng rose up in the air, however, at that moment, people in front of him suddenly turned around and shouted furiously, "How insolent! Get down to go out!"
If Lin Feng wanted to fly, he had to fly above that woman's head…
He glanced at them unhappily. They had prevented him from sitting where he wanted and now they didn't want to let him fly, what was wrong with them? Who was being insolent?
Lin Feng ignored them and continued flying forwards. He looked at the woman and said, "Miss!"
The woman looked wealthy and noble. She just waved at Lin Feng. Lin Feng had just obtained three precious treasures, but she didn't even look at him.
Lin Feng exchanged his scriptures against the three items, then he looked at the woman and said, "You want me to fly or walk?"
"Sit here," said the woman, pointing at the seat next to her and smiling.
Lin Feng was surprised and nodded, "If they hadn't stopped me, I would have sat here with you earlier." He calmly sat down next to her. Her guards looked at him icily.
The middle-aged man of the auction house looked at Lin Feng in a strange way, but quickly returned to normal and smiled, "Alright, the next item is a Great Imperial Talisman. It doesn't contain a deployment spell anymore, but there are still traces inside. Powerful deployment spell casters can benefit from it because it'll be easier to carve great imperial deployment spells on it, and you can use it several times. Please bid."
Lin Feng's heart twitched. He had carved many deployment talismans before coming to Judgement Day City. He hadn't thought he'd see a Great Imperial Talisman here. He really wanted to obtain it.
"Great imperial scriptures, Huge Vigorous Lion Qi, extremely powerful, increases a cultivator's strength, gives a cultivator the power of a great imperial beast, one roar can crush a cultivator's heart," said the woman next to Lin Feng calmly. She immediately proposed Great imperial scriptures!
PMG Chapter 2089
Chapter 2089: Immortal Body
Most people didn't bid when they heard the woman. It was just a Great Imperial Talisman, only deployment spell casters could benefit from it. The price was already too high for them.
However, it was a priceless item for strong deployment spell casters. As it contained deployment spell traces, it was very helpful for an army, as it could also be used as a body protection deployment spell. It was a priceless treasure!
"Great imperial scriptures, Indestructible Mountains and Rivers-like Body Imprints Technique, perfect for gold cultivators, it allows a cultivator to have an indestructible golden body. It's powerful," spoke up an old man calmly. The crowd looked at him, a Great Emperor wearing an ordinary grey robe. He looked like a deployment spell caster, actually.
"I'll add a level two Great Imperial Weapon," said the woman calmly, without turning around. She was from a powerful deployment spell caster family. She had come precisely to find items related to deployment spells.
The old man frowned when he heard the woman and said, "I'll also add a level two Great Imperial Weapon."
Great Imperial Weapons and Imperial weapons were divided into nine levels. Great Imperial Weapons were much more difficult to make than Imperial weapons, however!
"I'll add a level three Great Imperial Weapon," said the woman calmly. The great emperor was stupefied, a level three Great Imperial Weapon? Level three Great Imperial Weapons were priceless. Even level four Great Imperial Weapons were strong enough to fight against Celestial Emperors. He couldn't trade any, he had only one and it was too important to him.
"She's from a rich family, she can afford it," whispered the crowd. The old man sighed. Even though he was from a good family, he was old, his clan didn't spend resources on him anymore, powerful groups spent time and resources on young people. Old people had to rely on themselves!
The price was too high, it seemed nobody wanted to get the item for such a price.
"Great imperial scriptures, Mountain and River Illusion, when you practice it, a million illusionary clones appear, but they look real. You can trick the enemy. It's from the Ancient Jade Dynasty in Qi Tian Holy Town. Besides, I'll also add some more Great imperial scriptures, the Seven Deep Abstruse Dao technique, you can attack seven times with it, the attacks are powerful. It is also from the Ancient Jade Dynasty, but it is a little bit less powerful than the Great Deep Abstruse Dao," Lin Feng spoke up evenly at that moment.
Everybody was astonished. This guy was wealthy!
"That guy has so many rare Great imperial scriptures! He even has Great imperial scriptures from the Ancient Jade Dynasty? Was he from the Ancient Jade Dynasty? But the Ancient Jade Dynasty only recruits women!" people whispered curiously.
The woman next to Lin Feng looked at him, her beautiful eyes glittered. She smiled indifferently, "For ordinary people, that talisman is useless. Why do you want it?"
The woman thought Lin Feng was trying to provoke her. He was very young, he couldn't be an incredible deployment spell caster. Why did he want that talisman?
Lin Feng looked at her, he knew she thought he was trying to provoke her. He didn't have time to waste doing such things though, so he didn't explain anything, he just smiled thinly without saying anything.
The woman looked at Lin Feng and smiled, "Since you like it, you can have it. You won't have it easy, though."
She stopped bidding and nobody else rose to contest him. Lin Feng obtained the talisman. He gave the two books from the Ancient Jade Dynasty in exchange. If the members of the Ancient Jade Dynasty had known about that, they would have been furious.
After that, more treasures were traded, Great imperial scriptures, Great Imperial Weapons, pellets; some people also sold items they had to other people in the crowd directly. Lin Feng had many Great imperial scriptures, but he didn't need all of them, so he could sell them to other people.
Many people were there only for ship tickets.
Lin Feng didn't participate in the auctions for a few rounds, and finally the first ticket appeared. It was for the boat a month from now. Lin Feng gave up, he couldn't wait for one month. When he saw the price for which it was sold, he was astonished. Many strong cultivators had come for the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds!
Finally, the first ticket was exchanged against some powerful Great imperial scriptures and a level four Great Imperial Weapon. It was very expensive. In normal times, a ship ticket could be sold for one level one Great Imperial Weapon or some powerful Great imperial scriptures, especially for a boat which was a month from now.
The second ticket was for fifteen days from now, Lin Feng's heart twitched. How could he obtain more tickets? He didn't know, so he had to get that one. Not everyone would be able to get tickets, so how could they do it? Use their spirits?
Lin Feng really needed that one ticket.
Many people wanted it. Many of them were great emperors, even some Celestial Emperors tried to bid. Obtaining one ticket was extremely complicated.
Very quickly, the price of the second ticket exceeded that of the first one: someone proposed a level five Great Imperial Weapon. For a great emperor, that was a terrifying price. With such a weapon, they could pose a threat to a Celestial Emperor!
"Ancient Holy Scriptures from the Ancient Jade Dynasty, Great Deep Abstruse Dao, for two tickets," said Lin Feng at that moment. Everybody suddenly became silent. He was trying to exchange Ancient Holy Scriptures against ship tickets? On top of that from the Ancient Jade Dynasty? The Great Deep Abstruse Dao? How crazy! If the Ancient Jade Dynasty knew about it, they would have tried to kill him instantly. Of course, Lin Feng didn't mind, the Ancient Jade Dynasty already wanted to kill him!
The middle-aged man stared at Lin Feng and said indifferently, "It's against the rules, you can only get that one first."
"What's the date of the second ticket?" asked Lin Feng.
"Which one do you want to buy?" asked the middle-aged man.
"If you can't tell me the details, I'll just cancel my offer and leave. I'm sure anyone else would be happy to obtain the Ancient Jade Dynasty's Ancient Holy Scriptures against a ship ticket," said Lin Feng calmly. The middle-aged man remained silent. How cunning!
"Alright, I'll tell you now. The next one is for this month, thirteenth day, it's in five days."
"Will you give me the next ticket for the Great Deep Abstruse Dao?" asked Lin Feng calmly. The two other tickets' date was too far away in time. Lin Feng needed to leave as soon as possible.
"Anyone else for that ticket then?" asked the middle-aged man glancing around. However, only people from terrifyingly powerful clans had Ancient Holy Scriptures, and they didn't want to exchange them. Ancient scriptures were no problem, but not Ancient Holy Scriptures. Their families wouldn't agree with that at all!
Besides, Lin Feng wanted the second ticket, he couldn't possible exchange Ancient Holy Scriptures for the previous one.
"Alright, it's a deal," said the middle-aged man smiling indifferently. A ship ticket against Ancient Holy Scriptures, that was a very profitable deal for the auction house.
"I hope you didn't make a mistake," said the middle-aged man calmly. That person was trading the Ancient Jade Dynasty's Ancient Holy Scriptures against ship tickets, he probably had an extremely high social status.
"I hope you will be able to benefit from the Ancient Holy Scriptures," Lin Feng smiled. If the Ancient Jade Dynasty learned about this, they might put pressure on the Doomsday Auction House, depending on their backing?
"Don't worry about that," replied the middle-aged man without talking too much, and went back to the second ticket.
The woman next to Lin Feng looked at him and said, "The Doomsday Auction House doesn't protect people who buy here, you're pretty audacious!"
An emperor was taking out Ancient Holy Scriptures in the open? Lin Feng's ticket was for five days from now, and many people were now paying attention to him, he was pretty brave. Many people were already staring at him. However, he already knew things were going to happen that way, so he preferred doing it anyways.
The second ticket was finally sold for a level six Great Imperial Weapon. Lin Feng started thinking that the alliance who controlled the boat company probably cooperated with the auction house. It was logical, it was the best way for them to benefit and rip people off.
Then, the man took out a black box. It was pitch-black, as if a terrifying strength had been sealed inside. The middle-aged man said to the crowd with a smile, "It's the last item, an immortal body."

Chapter 2090: Who's Stupid?
"An immortal body?" The crowd was shocked. Emperors' bodies could remain intact for many years, and great emperors' bodies, when intact, never decomposed. Those were normal bodies, but what the Doomsday Auction House was proposing seemed like an extraordinary cultivator!
The crowd looked at the long box. The middle-aged man put it on the ground with the greatest care. A few ancient imprints appeared and the gigantic box slowly opened itself. The crowd saw the body within. It had no Qi, it just looked intact.
"What kind of body is that?" asked someone. Lin Feng was curious too. He had the Saint's feet and he had sensed a terrifying strength emerge from them. However, that body just looked like an ordinary corpse.
"What a strange corpse." It was the first time that the woman next to Lin Feng sounded surprised, she whispered, "It has no Qi at all, it's like an ordinary body, but it's immortal. What kind of cultivation level did that person have?"
Everybody was thinking the same. "This body has been checked, he was over a hundred thousand years old or more. It's completely intact. It was a strong cultivator in the ancient times. However, it has no Qi at all, like an ordinary person," said the middle-aged man when he saw everybody was curious.
A hundred thousand years old or more?
"Of course, if you don't believe me, I can show you." said the middle-aged man smiling. An ice-cold blade appeared, it contained gloomy Qi, everybody sensed it clearly. The middle-aged man's hand streaked across the sky, people were all startled.
"What a terrifying blade, it's a level four or more Great Imperial Weapon!"
A terrifying strength attacked the immortal body. The crowd's face stiffened. There was a metallic clank, and everybody was astonished because the blade didn't do anything to the corpse!
"This blade is extremely powerful, as everyone has seen, but nothing works on it. According to our quality testers, it might be a Saint's body," said the middle-aged man indifferently. The crowd burst into an uproar, others remained silent. A Saint's body in an auction house?
"Maybe that you doubt about my words, but I can tell everyone that that body has no Qi and doesn't deteriorate, it's a terrifying physical body. Even though we think it's a Saint, we can't do much with it. We tried to modify it but we can't. That's why we're selling it. Of course, if the price isn't high enough, we won't sell it either," said the middle-aged calmly. The Doomsday Auction House was different from other auction houses. If they weren't happy with the price, they kept the items.
"If you can't use it, why could we?" said someone who didn't intend to bid.
"Why don't you tell us a base price then?" asked someone else.
The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled, "If you want to bid, just bid, otherwise, don't bid."
If they proposed a base price, people wouldn't take any initiative.
Lin Feng shook his head, he wasn't interested in a body he didn't understand, but at that moment, his expression slightly changed. Something was telling him he had to obtain that body.
It was an indescribable feeling, as if he were possessed. Lin Feng was suddenly excited.
"A level two Great imperial scripture and one tome of Great imperial scriptures, what do you think, Your Excellency?" asked Lin Feng.
The middle-aged man just smiled and said nothing. Lin Feng's price wasn't enough.
"A level four Great Imperial Weapon for the body," proposed a strong cultivator indifferently.
"Level five armor," said the woman next to Lin Feng calmly. She looked interested now. Many people were surprised, a level five Great Imperial Item, even defensive, was expensive, she was definitely rich!
The woman ground her teeth too. She had proposed a high price, she only had one item like that, but a Great Imperial Item couldn't be compared with a Saint's body. If she managed to understand it, she'd probably become extremely powerful. She would be able to inspect it back in her clan.
"Since you don't want to buy that weapon in front of everybody, I'll tell you something personally," said Lin Feng indifferently. He talked to the middle-aged man indifferently, the man was astonished and frowned. People were surprised, what had Lin Feng proposed? More Ancient Holy Scriptures?
"Deal!" said the middle-aged man without hesitating.
Lin Feng smiled and stood up. His silhouette flickered, he jumped onto the stage, said something to the man using his godly awareness, and took the immortal body.
"Who's that guy? He bought so many things!" exclaimed quite a few people.
The woman next to Lin Feng was stupefied. She realized that this young man who hadn't even reached the top of the Huang Qi layer had so many things. She found herself curious. Some clans loved ancient scriptures, that wasn't surprising, especially scholars since they had studied at university.
However, this Lin Feng seemed stupid, he had shown too much, did he think he'd manage to leave safely? So many people were staring at him…
When Lin Feng came back, the woman stood up and said to Lin Feng, "When you leave, many people will surround you. The Doomsday Auction House won't help you, they're not responsible for you. Give me the talisman and I'll help you. Otherwise, you will die before being able to go to Godly Clouds."
"Thank you for proposing your help," replied Lin Feng indifferently.
The woman frowned and asked, "Why? That talisman is useless for you. I'm a deployment spell caster. I really need it."
"Miss, if you need…" said someone next to her at that moment, releasing icy energies.
"My ticket is for the boat in five days as well, that's why I want to help you. I hope you understand," said the woman to Lin Feng.
"Thank you very much, you're too kind," said Lin Feng, nodding to her, and then he ran into the crowd. Many people released Qi around Lin Feng. He frowned and accelerated.
When the woman saw Lin Feng, she frowned and stared at him.
"Miss…"
The woman remained silent for a few seconds and shook her head, "He's just stupid. Forget about it."
Lin Feng was in the middle of the crowd and suddenly a strong wind brushed again him. Many people grunted icily.
Many people were propelled away. Some people staggered. The atmosphere suddenly became chaotic.
"Insolent!" shouted a strong cultivator furiously, before punching out. However, at that moment, the strong wind moved towards the clouds, many people chased him, but after a short time the wind disappeared. Lin Feng appeared and turned around, looking back at the crowd.
"You think you can just leave?" said an old man in grey clothes. He was the one who had wanted the talisman.
"Give me the item. You're just an emperor. You're acting recklessly."
"I wonder where that moron studies."
The crowd had just left the Doomsday Auction House and they were all baring their fangs. They were fearless and didn't even try to hide their desire to steal his treasures.
"I haven't seen someone so ridiculous in a long time," said a young man with his arms crossed before his chest. Great emperors were at his sides protecting him.
Lin Feng didn't continue running. He just stood there and said nothing. He smiled mockingly.
"A bunch of morons." People's expressions slightly changed. One of them realized something and punched at Lin Feng. Lin Feng didn't dodge. There was a rumble and explosion. The body exploded and disappeared. When they thought about his mocking smile a moment ago, they all pulled long faces.
Who was a moron?
It was just a clone, Lin Feng had already left! But why hadn't they been able to follow him with their godly awareness?
PMG Chapter 2091
Chapter 2091: Another Saint's Body
"He's gone?" The woman was also stupefied when she arrived. She smiled thinly, "No wonder he dared act so insolently. He had a way to escape."
As Lin Feng had moved through the wind, he had actually changed his mask and clothes. When the crowd penetrated into the wind, he left the strong wind, and that wind had moved forwards, taking his clones along. At that moment, Lin Feng was back with Hou Qing Lin and the others. They were calmly watching the scene.
"Let's go," said Lin Feng and they got up to leave.
"Brothers, we are many people, even if we get as many tickets, we also need to get tickets for the same day and that will be very difficult, we'll need too much time," Lin Feng said to Hou Qing Lin. After all, they couldn't get many tickets for the ship which was five days later. There were many auction houses but for a dozen people, it would still be difficult to get so many tickets.
"So what do you want to do?" asked Hou Qing Lin to Lin Feng.
"I can bring everyone along, but the problem is you won't be able to enjoy and learn from the empty space tunnel," explained Lin Feng.
"Learning from the empty space tunnel is less important than gaining time to find Mu Chen. When we come back from Godly Clouds, we'll all be able to learn from it," replied Hou Qing Lin. Lin Feng nodded and said, "Alright! In five days, we will go to Godly Clouds. Let's relax for the next few days. Don't offend anyone. When we come back, we'll enjoy ourselves a bit here."
Everybody understood, they were in a rush. Mu Chen used to be a friend and a teacher, so if Lin Feng could take them along 'for free', it was the best solution. Everybody cared about Mu Chen greatly!
As Lin Feng had said, the best thing to do was not to offend anyone and relax for a few days. Lin Feng found a tranquil place and took out his new talisman. He opened the talisman and a beam of light emerged from it. Lin Feng put his godly awareness inside and sensed some deployment spell essence. This kind of talisman was perfect for carving deployment spells.
"Even though I am strong in comparison to people of the same cultivation level, I can't compete with great emperors. If I carve some great deployment spells inside this talisman, I will be able to use it if I face a great danger. That way, I won't need to use the Saint's body," he said to himself. He extended his hand out and condensed all sorts of cosmic energies. At the same time, his Heavenly Grace Godly Wood appeared indistinctly behind his body, a hurricane made of cosmic energies gathering around it. Then, those cosmic energies condensed down into his finger.
He couldn't use such powerful cosmic energies on an ordinary talisman, or it would break!
Lin Feng started carving on the Great Imperial Talisman. Cosmic strength spread around him. Lin Feng hadn't carved deployment spells this seriously for a long time, and was extremely focused. The deployment marks were being carved with single-hearted devotion and without distracting thoughts, glittering as they formed.
After a long time, Lin Feng finished carving the deployment marks and put his talisman away. He was happy and smiled. He took out the three boxes he had obtained without knowing what they were.
"Two ordinary Great Imperial Weapons and an Imperial weapon, I lost." Lin Feng smiled, he didn't mind. The Ancient scriptures he had traded weren't useful to him. As long as he had the ship ticket, he was satisfied.
After that, Lin Feng went into his spirit's world. The Saint's body was there, dead and inert. No Qi emerged from it. Lin Feng walked over to Qin Shan and put his soul strength into Qin Shan's brain. After a short time, Lin Feng's soul arrived in front of a dazzling light. Qin Shan was awake already, but he hadn't recovered, he still needed godly medicine to recover.
"Master, can you help me check that body?" asked Lin Feng to the Saint.
"Saint's body!" declared Qin Shan. Lin Feng's shivered. It was really a Saint's body! Why didn't it have Qi though? Even the strong cultivators of the Doomsday Auction House couldn't use it, so they had sold it.
"Make it fuse together with my consciousness and I'll see whether it still has a thread of consciousness or not." said Qin Shan. Lin Feng fused his soul together with the Saint's consciousness. Qin Shan walked over to the Saint and his eyes twinkled.
Dazzling lights emerged from the Qin Shan's eyes and penetrated into the Saint's body. However, Lin Feng saw no consciousness at all, as if the Saint was really dead.
Lin Feng and Qin Shan's consciousness flew throughout that body. They realized that some kind of strength was blocking them, as they couldn't explore the Saint's body thoroughly.
Qin Shan used more of his will to pierce through the strength and penetrate into the body thoroughly. Lin Feng saw a golden empty space world within, but it seemed broken.
A terrifying strength flowed towards them from the body. Qin Shan sensed a terrible power collide with his own. Golden lights bombarded his body with a crash and explosion of force. The Saint was propelled away a thousand meters and crashed onto the ground.
He recalled his consciousness. Lin Feng was astonished. That body which hadn't moved for a very long time had attacked Qin Shan!
"What's that?" a voice resonated inside Qin Shan's body and made him shake.
"Master, his body, that's…" Lin Feng was shaking.
"Even though it's golden, it doesn't have any cosmic energy inside. It's as if his own strength has been broken, a golden empty space, a broken world. It's definitely a Saint, but something catastrophic must have happened to him."
Lin Feng and Qin Shan's consciousness had fused together. They could communicate directly without speaking.
"But he attacked our power?"
"For him, everybody else is a nobody, an insignificant tiny little insect. He despises Heaven and Earth," murmured Qin Shan. He was a Saint too, but he had never seen such a Saint's body.
"That obstructive strength is formidable, it could destroy my consciousness. However, why could my consciousness pierce through the obstructive energy and penetrate into his body?" wondered Qin Shan, seemingly talking to himself.
"Master," said Lin Feng at that moment.
"Hm?"
"My soul can get into it." whispered Lin Feng. Qin Shan remained silent for a few seconds. If he had a real body, it would have been perfect.
"I'll transmit an ancient technique to you, try and control that body," said Qin Shan after remaining silent for a few seconds. He relayed an ancient technique to Lin Feng, and their minds separated.
Lin Feng recalled his soul strength and studied the ancient technique. After a short time, he opened his eyes with a glitter. He stared at the Saint's body as his soul came out of his body and moved into the Saint's Body. He inspected that broken golden world, with neither strength nor Qi in it. Lin Feng had the impression that he was back in Hell, it was the same kind of feeling.
After a long time, the body finally moved and opened his eyes.
"It works!" Lin Feng was stupefied. It was starting to work. Then, Lin Feng moved his arm, and then his legs.
After a very long time, the body stood up.
"Master." Lin Feng took a deep breath. He was moving, could he really control this body?
"Don't get too excited. You've just started. It's a dead body, you can control it, but because it's a Saint's body, it's not that easy either, as you can't use a Saint's strength. In that body, there is absolutely no thread of consciousness. So you can use the body, but regarding the strength you can deploy with it, I guess it depends on how familiar you are with it," Qin Shan said to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng nodded and said, "I understand. It's a dead body. I can control it, but it has no strength. But this body, as a shell, is quite powerful. I'll do all I can to practice the ancient technique you transmitted to me."
Then, Lin Feng started walking around with a body that wasn't his own.
At Lin Feng's cultivation level, his soul could easily move away from his body. Controlling a dead body wasn't difficult. The real difficulty was in controlling a dead Saint's body. Even thought it was just a shell, not everyone could easily defeat such a body!
