Chapter 1196: Return to the Divine Lands!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

While Lin Feng was battling with the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the demonic powers in the Lingyuan Mountains grew exponentially. While the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage were affected by the Dimensional Seal and could not leave the vicinity of the Lingyuan Mountains, but they still possessed enormous powers. Due to their closeness with the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, they naturally would not want her to lose to Lin Feng.

The defeat of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage would serve them no purpose.

The demonic powers of the Lingyuan Mountains manifested itself into a giant ape, which growled in a low voice. It spread through the void and struck at the hearts at all who heard it. The giant ape raised its arms and began to lift up Mount Yujing.

Seeing this, Lin Feng lightly tapped with his finger. 49 Two Elements of Creation shot straight downwards to the earth, and 49 mandalas appeared from the Tao elements to support Mount Yujing.

While maintaining the integrity of Mount Yujing and the Two Elements of Creation Formation, Lin Feng raised his head to look at the void. There, the spinning Mythical Time-Space Revolving Formation turned into a beam of light that tore apart the fabrics of time and space. It encircled the Demonic Soul of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, which had already disappeared with only the faintest trace.

Lin Feng’s eyes danced, “If I guessed correctly, she had chosen to give up the situation before her and bide her time. Perhaps she sensed something, and thus decided to exit the War of the Two Worlds?”

“No, definitely not. If not she wouldn’t have reacted as such. Perhaps it was only an instinct. If that’s so, then it is just as I have guessed before.”

Shaking his head, Lin Feng did not give it any more thought. Instead, he decided to collect the Cosmic Gate.

To forge this Cosmic Gate, Lin Feng almost obtained the powers over half of the cosmos. Despite not possessing the ability to harness the powers of the stars, but with the resources from them, his Celestial Sect of Wonders would have gotten what it needed.

Even the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage’s Cosmic Gate was now in his hands, Lin Feng now possessed four Cosmic Gates.

Amongst the six Cosmic Gates, only one could allow free entrance in and out of the Ancient Desolate Galaxy. However, it would change if one person had control over more than one Cosmic Gate.

With three Cosmic Gates, one could forcibly shut one other Cosmic Gate.

If one possessed all four Cosmic Gate, then one could freely enter and exit the Star Tomb and obtain star skulls.

Ever since Lin Feng obtained the three Cosmic Gates from the White Tiger Grand Sage, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage, not only could he close the other’s Cosmic Gates but he could also deny them entry into the Star Tomb.

Now that he possessed four Cosmic Gates, it meant that he could freely enter and exit the Star Tomb.

On top of the Lingyuan Mountains, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage stared at the Cosmic Gate in Lin Feng’s hands with eyes full of envy.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s gaze was mixed with hatred as well as envy.

Previously, in the Ancient Desolate Galaxy, Lin Feng obtained from a Cosmic Gate that had always belonged to the Ancient Ape Demons. Doing so had disrupted the Ancient Ape Demons’ only way in and out of the Ancient Desolate Galaxy.

The impact of this gesture was not small. It greatly diminished the prestige of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage amongst the Ancient Ape Demons. Had it not been for his powers and his the strength of his supporters, his position among the Ancient Ape Demons would have been challenged.

In the past few years, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage had sought out the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage with the intention of robbing their Cosmic Gates. However, as both the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage concealed themselves during the War of the Two Worlds he was unable to find them.

Now, while the Cosmic Gate of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was before him, he could do nothing but stare at it.

What made him even more pissed off was the fact that its new master was Lin Feng.

However, as he was restricted by the Dimensional Seal, he could not battle with Lin Feng even if he wanted to. He could only wait it out upon the Lingyuan Mountains.

As if he had felt the rage of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, Lin Feng looked at the Lingyuan Mountains and smiled.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage revealed her true self in the battle and caused a major disturbance. However, as she did it too suddenly, she could not maintain it for long.

The demonic powers were already in chaos and were not as violent as before.

Under the guidance of the black light stream, Lingyuan Mountains began to alter the fabric of space and re-entered the Barren Expanses.

At that moment, the Barren Expanses appeared to have been affected by the dimensional rift. It was still in a state of chaos, with dimensional tears everywhere as if it had been torn apart by someone.

However, with the return of the Lingyuan Mountains, the chaos was once again controlled and the numerous dimensional tears began to close up. It soon returned to its original appearance.

However, only the heavens and the earth returned to normal. The lives that were lost and the destroyed valleys and plains were unable to revert to their original state. It was truly a wasteland.

Lin Feng looked at the returning Lingyuan Mountains and laughed gently to himself. He landed on Mount Yujing again as his Two Elements of Creation Formation connected with the Crucible of the Divine Lands and turned into a small speck of light and returned to Lin Feng’s forehead.

The leaves of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree upon the magnificent sacred mountain trembled incessantly as it split open the void. With it, the humongous sacred white jade-coloured mountain disappeared.

As the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage stood guard in the Lingyuan Mountains, Lin Feng would require a long time to take the Lingyuan Mountains, if he could take it at all. In the War of the Two Dimensions, changes could happen any moment. Furthermore, he could afford to spend any more time battling the two demonic apes.

With the power of the Dimensional Seal, the two of them could not exit the mountain and create trouble while Lin Feng was away.

As the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage watched Lin Feng and Mount Yujing leaving, their faces were expressionless and in a shade of green. However, there was nothing they could do about it.

At that moment, if they chose to the leave the protection of the Lingyuan Mountains, their Demon Soul would be separated from their true form, which would decrease their fighting abilities. Hence, they could only wait it out.

“Look at that, how long could your Dimensional Seal keep me away!” The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage said while gritting his teeth in rage. His bared sharp canine teeth. He was like a volcano that was about to erupt.

The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage next to him too was displeased and filled with anger.

He originally thought that the return of the Undead could force Lin Feng to return to help its inhabitants out, and he could leave the Lingyuan Mountains and find trouble with Mount Shu. Now, he was trapped in Lingyuan Mountains.

Leaving the two pissed-off demonic apes behind, Lin Feng returned to Mount Yujing and through altering the void he returned the world of Man, the Divine Lands.

His expression of quietly solemn as he stared at the four giant gates floating before him the void. Each gate was adorned with a multitude of stars.

In the early phase of the War of the Two Worlds, Lin Feng’s original war goal was to obtain the Cosmic Gates from both the Golden Roc Grand Sage and the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. Now, he had achieved this goal.

However, up till now, the various unforeseen circumstances had given Lin Feng more reasons to worry.

The coming of the Cosmic Marble Buddha did not require too much attention at the moment. However, the turbulences of the Great Void Sect in the Black Sea and the return of the Undead were both matters of great concern.

On his way back to the Divine Lands, bad news came non-stop.

Firstly, upon arriving at the Barren Expanses, the Undead headed towards the sole territory the Great Void Sect held in that demonic world, Mount Taihua.

The old holy man of the Great Void Sect that resided on Mount Taihua, Xuanyi, decided to abandon the mountain after carefully analyzing the situation. He chose to bring the cultivators of Mount Taihua to Mount Baiyun.

While the difference in defensive properties between the two locations was vast, it was still a shame to abandon Mount Taihua. However, Xuanyi had to make a quick decision.

Between Mount Baiyun and Mount Taihua was a link. Under the direction of the holy man Xuanyi, the Great Void Sect destroyed the link as soon as they had finished using it.

Since the end of the War of the Two Worlds, the blessed spot Mount Taihua formerly occupied by the Great Void Sect was no more.

However, regardless of whether it was Lin Feng or other people, there was no great disagreement. The holy man Xuanyi may appear weak as he deliberately abandoned his sect’s pride, but it was the right move.

Should one want to keep one’s enemies at the gate, one must have enough power.

Under the circumstance whereby the powerful members of the Great Void Sect and its prized Supreme Heavenly Mirror were trapped in the Black Sea, the Great Void Sect had no choice but to avoid the peril of the Undead.

At the same time, the Great Void Sect had news too. Not only did the powerful Chieftain of the Undead return, but two other powerful Undead demons followed him as well.

Facing this calamity, the Great Void Sect would find it a challenge to face the Undead even in Mount Baiyun, let alone Mount Taihua.

By abandoning Mount Taihua on its accord and retreating to the Divine Lands, the Great Void Sect inadvertently spurred the Undead to follow them to the Divine Lands too.

Facing the arrival of the Undead and the loss of Mount Taihua by the Great Void Sect, there was no major casualty yet.

Another piece of news was even more terrifying. The Earth Dragon King and the Azure Sky Dragon King led a group of powerful dragons from the Black Sea on a warpath. The Great Qin Empire was trapped in the Barren Expanses.

While Zhu Yi and Swordmaster Tiangang of Mount Shu went to assist in the battle, the Qin Emperor Shi Yu nonetheless fell in battle. Even the Immortal Dragon City was lost in the void.

The exit of the Great Qin Emperor from the War of Two Worlds was a certainty.

However, there were some silver linings. Zhu Yi and Swordmaster Tiangang managed to hold off the Earth Dragon King while slaying the Azure Sky Dragon King. They were famous throughout the whole Grand Celestial World, delighting Lin Feng.

“Ohh, between what I know and what I’d yet to know... Zhu Yi has managed to walk upon his own path of duality.” Lin Feng sat on Mount Yujing with his eyes shut. He could feel the powers and feedback from the Heavenly Tao Te Ching and the Great Celestial Way as if the two of them were linked together. “While it’s different from my Way of the Two Elements of Creation and different from Wang Lin’s Way of Defiance and Acceptance of Fate, it’s just as exciting. Good! Very good!”

Lin Feng’s heart was joyful beyond words. However, the unexpected situation of the Great Qin Empire flummoxed him. “Shi Yu’s death in battle and the loss of the Immortal Dragon City would create great changes to the political landscape of the Divine Lands...”
