History’s Number 1 Founder

According to the tradition of the human cultivation world, such a conference was meant to test the current masteries of the younger generation cultivators and their potential. It was a way of helping them gain experience, thus they were usually for the Aurous Core and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

For Lin Feng and the rest of higher masteries, such a conference wouldn’t bother them too much. Even if there were outstanding performers, Lin Feng and the others would only value their potential instead of their current abilities.

Among all the cultivators, the disciples from the Celestial Sect of Wonders captured the greatest attention. Just any one of them could leave a deep impression on those who watched them.

The reason why they drew so much attention was not only because of their abilities. It was also because they were from the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

There’s always been an old adage that a talent that perished early wasn’t considered a talent. Even if one had potential, it counted for nothing if this potential didn’t develop into true abilities.

Shi Tianyi, the Marquis of Jinghuan and Lei Jie, who were all killed by Shi Tianhao, Xiao Yan, and Tang Jun respectively, were all talents of their generation. They were highly regarded and many believed they’d become future legends.

However, none of them managed to fulfill their destiny. Even if one remembered them, it only brought about a sigh.

However, the disciples from the Celestial Sect of Wonders managed to flourish under the protection of their sect. Even though it wasn’t completely impossible for them not to die, this possibility was greatly reduced at the same time.

In this way, they were more likely to become true talents that fulfilled their destinies.

The young talents that were going to strut their stuff in today’s conference were likely to become the future pillars of their own sects and powers. The future wasn’t that far away either.

Dao Yuting, Zhou Yuncong, Ying Luozha, Lin Tong and the others were very classic examples, as they showed their prowess to the world during the Spiritual Conference in the Kunlun Mountains.

That’s why the junior disciples from the Celestial Sect of Wonders that performed well were closely monitored by the other sects.

For the younger cultivators from the other sects, a single sentence of advice by Lin Feng and the others was enough to help them benefit greatly. They could rely on their advice for their whole lifetime.

The bunch of Immortal Soul Stage Elders present at the pill cultivation contest was very focused on the interactions that happened.

While one’s pill cultivation skills weren’t completely correlated to one’s mastery, the most outstanding pill cultivators were all Immortal Soul Stage cultivators. The pill cultivation contest wasn’t just about helping the younger cultivators improve; it was also a stage for ‘dueling’ between Immortal Soul Stage pill cultivators.

The rare medicine, herbs, and pills that were hardly seen normally were now very likely to appear in this pill cultivation contest since it was organized by the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Gu Empire. Even the Immortal Soul Stage cultivators valued these pills. Their disciples could do with these pills even if they didn’t need them.

In addition, the influence of pill cultivation was actually very important even though it didn’t seem very great. It could have an immeasurable impact on future developments, and the impact could extend beyond just a person.

If some of the sects had a new pill, they could grab the attention of others. This could lead to changes in the future.

“Flamecrossing Pill?” The Intense Flaming Swordmaster looked at a type of spiritual pill that Duan Muhong displayed and he was slightly moved.

The Starry Swordmaster, who was seated beside him, laughed slightly. The Celestial Sect of Wonders’ Flamecrossing Pill had the effect of aiding cultivators who cultivated fire-type mantras to absorb and release fire-type spiritual energy. This allowed them to guide ferocious fires into their bodies for mastery purposes, enhancing and protecting them. This reduced the risk and increased the efficiency of their cultivation.

The Inferno Precipice disciples would usually choose one of the Seven Legendary Primordial Fires to cultivate. Those who were outstanding could choose more than one. The Flamecrossing Pill was undoubtedly a boost to the Inferno Precipice disciples.

Besides the Seven Legendary Primordial Fires, there were also other spiritual fires that were related to many fire-type mantras and were beneficial to cultivators of such mantras.

For example, there were the Gu Empire cultivators who cultivated the Nanming Primordial Fire and the Samsara Sect cultivators who cultivated the Red Lotus Fire.

The Intense Flaming Sword Sect used their sword aura to evolve intense flames and they mastered these flames to aid in their cultivation. The Flamecrossing Pill was also very beneficial for them.

Gu Jun looked at Duan Muhong and nodded his head, “Did he figure out this pill by himself? He’s indeed talented.”

Lin Feng laughed, “There are still improvements to be made. Allowing him to participate in this pill cultivation contest is also a way to help him broaden his insight on other pill cultivation techniques.”

Shi Zongtang said, “Master Lin, the Flaming Emperor and your advice is already enough. The two of you are the most outstanding pill cultivators in the world right now.”

Lin Feng replied, “Comrade Shi, you’re over-complimenting me. Whether it’s my normal cultivation or pill cultivation, I’ve still not mastered everything. It’s also the same for Xuan Yan.”

Shi Zongtang laughed slightly, “Master Lin, you’re right. But the rest of us are also ashamed.”

Lin Feng shook his head, “Comrade Shi, you’re exaggerating. We’re only people with avid interests in pill cultivation skills.”

He sat on his main seat and tapped the seat handle slightly. He leisurely said, “I believe all of you should know that the Spirit Sea is about to open.”

Gu Jun, Shi Zongtang, Ji Wenrui, the Royal House Lord, Thunderclouds Holy Man and the rest of the elders nodded their heads, “That’s right. We all know about it.”

After the War of the Two Worlds, news that the Spirit Sea was about to re-open spread like wildfire.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage released the Sea Key along with this news, catalyzing competition between the various parties for the Secret Spirit Sea Key. There were competing parties among those present. It’s just that there were very little Secret Spirit Sea Keys and it wasn’t easy competing for them. Very few benefited from this.

The force that was superior to the Black Sea, Ying Sea, Netherworld Sea, Starry Sea and Void Sea…

It seemed to be omnipresent but yet no trace of it could be found.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders, Great Void Sect, and Hades tribe already had the upper hand.

Countless rumors, whether true or fake, spread like wildfire. There were news that Lin Feng accepted the Hades Emperor son as his Immediate Disciple, of the enmity between him and the Hades tribe during the War of the Two Worlds, the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ conflict with the Great Void Sect, the Hades tribe hatred towards the Great Void Sect and the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage’s furtive background. All this left everyone slightly overwhelmed.

Lin Feng said gradually, “From my calculations, it’s not long until that day.”

Everyone’s gaze straightened when they heard his words and looked at him.

It was rumored that the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Great Void Sect, and Hades tribe had the deepest knowledge of the Spirit Sea.

As Lin Feng spoke, he also sighed. Although he sensed that the Spirit Sea would re-open earlier than when he and the Great Void Sect retreated from the Spirit Sea then, it was far earlier than what he expected. He could subtly sense the reason behind this and he even had some arrangements in view of such a change. He was about to make a decisive adjustment.

“The Secret Spirit Sea Keys that the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage released are real.” Lin Feng verified everyone’s guess. After that, he said, “The Spirit Sea gives the feeling that the Great Dao is returning to its origin. Also, it’s impossible to leave the Spirit Sea in the short-term.”

Gu Jun and the rest all furrowed their brows as they heard his words. They thought of many things, but they didn’t interrupt him. They quietly listened as Lin Feng continued with his words.

Lin Feng continued to say, “If there’s no surprise, I’ll enter the Spirit Sea with my disciples. The Great Void Sect will do the same thing too. The Hades tribe will also follow suit. I believe that the Illusory Sun Hades will also enter.”

The competition for the Spirit Sea was very great. Whether it was Lin Feng, the Great Void Sect or the Hades tribe, they would do their best to fight for it.

If they could obtain the Spirit Sea, the Celestial Sect of Wonders wouldn’t mind giving up the Ying Sea, the Great Void Sect wouldn’t mind giving up Mount Baiyun and the Hades tribe wouldn’t mind giving up the Hades City.

Whoever controlled the Spirit Sea, it would undoubtedly affect the situation in the entire Grand Celestial World.

Ji Wenrui slowly said, “The question is, can the Spirit Sea be solely controlled by one party? We know that the Great Void Sect only controlled a pathway into the Spirit Sea then. They’re still very far off from controlling the entire Spirit Sea.”

Lin Feng smiled, “This is the best opportunity that we’ll ever get.”

He scanned everyone around him, “It’s just that although the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage released the Secret Spirit Sea Keys, there’s a rarity of them. There’ll be very few people who’ll obtain them. Those who obtained the keys would also remain quiet in case others know about it. That’s why we don’t know who among the demons have the ability to enter the Spirit Sea apart from the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage.”

“Let’s not even talk about the Divine Lands. We don’t know what’s going on in the Barren Expanses and it’s not easy for us to have detailed information about it. It’s also difficult for us to predict what kind of plans they have.”

Lin Feng wasn’t done with his words yet, but Gu Jun and the others fully understood what he meant. Their expressions also turned very serious.

If the Celestial Sect of Wonders proceeded to the Spirit Sea with the Great Void Sect, there would be a void in the Divine Lands.

Although it’s a little awkward, everyone present knew that apart from the Gu Empire and the Mount Shu Sword Sect, the rest of the sects and powers would fall short in tackling the demons in the absence of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Great Void Sect.

If Shi Xingyun was willing to make a move, the Great Qin Empire might be able to deal with demons.

Although the Hades tribe and the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage would also go to the Spirit Sea and the Demon Phoenix tribe wouldn’t violate the Divine Lands, there were still the dragons and Ancient Ape Demons. It’s difficult to predict whether they had the Secret Spirit Sea Key to enter the Spirit Sea.

If both of these parties unleashed their full strengths, even the Gu Empire, Mount Shu Sword Sect and Great Qin Empire would be under great pressure.

Moreover, the Cosmic Marble Buddha was untraceable. It was difficult to predict how he would react when the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Great Void Sect were absent. The Emperor of Dead went into hiding after he was critically injured then. No one knew about his condition right now either.

Gu Jun looked at Lin Feng and slightly nodded his head. The significance of the modified Holy Lihuo Mantra that the Celestial Sect of Wonders offered as well the hints that were given after was indeed in this matter.
