Chapter 1300: Dominating All The Powers In The World
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Legend had it that the person that controlled the Penglai, the Yingzhou and the Fangzhang Celestial Mountains could completely assimilate and control the Ying Sea, one of the Great Celestial Seven Seas.
Nobody had achieved that since the beginning of time, so it was impossible to verify this legend and nobody could be sure whether this was true or not.
However, the three Celestial Mountains were the most substantial entities inside the Ying Sea they were undoubtedly closely related to the power to control the Ying Sea.
There was clearly a gap in power between controlling one mountain and controlling two, and one would have much greater chances if he or she controlled two Celestial Mountains. Everybody would be on guard and would probably to suppress him or her in the days to come but that was still acceptable.
In the end, controlling both Celestial Mountains only meant more convenience inside the Ying Sea. The Ying Sea was vast and endless, and it was still quite a distance away from achieving total dominance over the Ying Sea.
However, the difference between controlling two Celestial Mountains and all three mountains was an entirely different concept. Controlling all three mountains implied that this individual would be able to assimilate the entire Ying Sea.
The ample and exotic resources inside the Ying Sea aside, a single party who was able to assimilate the entire Ying Sea would change the entire political situation inside the Grand Celestial World.
Especially so when the Celestial Sect of Wonders was the one controlling the three mountains – they were already the number-one sect in the Divine Lands.
Their power could be said to be most powerful individual entity in the entire Grand Celestial World.
The Ying Sea ending up in the hands of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was vastly different from the Ying Sea falling into the Great Zhou Empire’s hands.
All the Grand Celestial Seven Seas were extraordinary and all of them had special characteristics that made them special. The Netherworld Sea and the Spirit Sea’s powers could be directed outwards, but the Ying Sea was different. If they just defended themselves inside the Ying Sea, then nobody could take them out.
The dragons took over the Black Sea as their ancestral ground and this point had been proven throughout the eternal passage of time.
The Celestial Sect of Wonders, who were already leaving many people in the wind, received another great boost in power.
Lin Feng controlling the three mountains meant it was possible that he could soak in the Ying Sea. The impact of this piece of news was far more astounding than Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu’s destruction.
The impact of both the Imperial Palace and the Great Heavenly Wheels landing in the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ hands had also been masked by this news.
The boost in the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ influence and power in their attaining of the Ying Sea was probably not that problematic for the outside world in terms of their potential of being invaded as a result, but it had far-reaching consequences for the Celestial Sect of Wonders in terms of laying down their formations and for their future development. It was a change that couldn’t be compared by other things.
This piece of news was spread far and wide, and the entire Grand Celestial World was stirred up. Every single person that heard about this was shook.
Streaks of energy traveled towards the East Sea in the Divine Lands, and even the inter-world passageway connecting the East Sea and the Barren Expanses started to tremble as various demonic auras attempted to cross over.
Everybody gathered around the stable inter-world passageway at the Divine Lands’ East Sea. They were wary of each other, but they tried their best to avoid any internal conflicts.
Everybody’s attentions were focused onto the Ying Sea, and the group of powerful cultivators entered a temporary state of chaos and contemplation, frustration and repression.
Nobody was certain about the situation inside the Ying Sea, and the truth of the information that they had received was yet to be validated.
If Lin Feng did have the ability to assimilate the Ying Sea, neither the humans nor the demons would be happy with that outcome.
However, a vast majority of the powerful cultivators were here mostly out of curiosity. They were extremely close to the Celestial Sect of Wonders at this point and they were also basking in their glory while they also knew they didn’t have the power to interfere.
Even so, the group of powerful cultivators’ emotions were complicated and in a mess.
The demons were even more frustrated.
Lin Feng’s Thunder Dragon Avatar had assimilated the Fangzhang Celestial Mountain at this point inside the Ying Sea and all three Celestial Mountains were firmly in his control.
Lin Feng could feel that his mind and soul were connected with the entire Ying Sea. The vast and sprawling Ying Sea seemed to become a part of his own body.
His consciousness could transcend outwards and watch over every inch of the Ying Sea. He could watch the rolling waves and the clouds above, and he himself was located right in the very center of everything seemingly for all of eternity.
“Having all three Celestial Mountains could make me the ruler of the Ying Sea. However, I have only started on this path and to completely assimilate it will take much more effort and grinding.” Lin Feng knew what he had to do and smiled as the Thunder Dragon Avatar sat atop the Fangzhang Celestial Mountain and casted his gaze into the far end of the horizon.
Lin Feng muttered, “I am very glad at your arrival, Cosmic Marble Buddha.”
A speck of light flickered in void space. It was peaceful, without burdens and without worries, and a there was a crystal glass-like Buddha statue with forty-eight thousand limbs. Every limb was extended outwards, and every palm had a radiating star in the center.
The Cosmic Marble Buddha’s face was calm and didn’t seem like he had any expression at all. However, closer inspection revealed a faint smile.
He heaved a faint sigh as he watched Lin Feng. Lin Feng’s original body wasn’t here, but he could still feel his existence. The Three Celestial Mountains were in Lin Feng’s hands now and the fact that Lin Feng would become the supreme ruler over the Ying Sea was now an irrevocable fact.
The Cosmic Marble Buddha waited for the Two Elements of Creation Formation and the Crucible of the Divine Lands to depart from Zhu Yi’s body and for Liang Pan’s Supreme Reign Divine Light to dissipate before he came close to the battlefield.
Zhu Yi’s power in the second-level immortal soul stage could rival that of a Vipralopa Stage cultivator, and his Way of the Changes didn’t leave anything else but faint marks on his mind and they weren’t really that visible.
In terms of karma and the deception of fate, the Cosmic Marble Buddha was undoubtedly one of most powerful people in the world. Furthermore, Lin Feng could acutely feel that his powers were rising exponentially compared to when he first came into existence. It appeared to go against natural reason yet it seemed like it was the right way of things – it was just profound and inexplicable.
Lin Feng waved his hand and sent both the Imperial Palace and the Great Heavenly Wheels into the Two Elements of Creation Formation. The Higan Golden Bridge entered the magic formation as well and teamed up with the Crucible of the Divine Lands to suppress them.
At the same time, the Thunder Dragon Avatar revealed his true form and his body flickered as it phased between his virtual form and his physical form.
He swung his golden claw and a sphere of light with intertwining colors of black and white descended into the Two Elements of Creation Formation.
The Two Elements of Creation Formation began to rotate quickly and not before long, specks of light gradually flew out from the magic formation and landed before the Cosmic Marble Buddha.
Those specks of light exuded a feeling of wholeness and freedom, and they were actually sariras.
These sariras had been infused by Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu into the Imperial Palace and the Great Heavenly Wheels, and Lin Feng released every single one of them. The process was relatively slow, but the spectacle was stunning and impressive.
The Cosmic Marble Buddha’s gaze landed upon the black and white light sphere that was shot into the Two Elements of Creation Formation before he turned towards the sariras that were released before him but said nothing.
Outside the Ying Sea and near the entrance to the inter-world passageway, when everybody was preparing for action, the void suddenly split open and white-haired youth with a casual expression but emanated a chilly aura appeared in everyone’s vision.
Everybody was slightly taken aback before their energy auras erupted once more as they immediately recognized this white-haired youth as Lin Feng’s third disciple – the Extreme Dao Eminent, Wang Lin.
The entire Grand Celestial World knew about Wang Lin’s fearsome reputation, and the people that were here today were all powerful individuals from all over. They weren’t people that Wang Lin could stop, but Wang Lin’s expression was still calm and composed as he didn’t release a single ripple of mana or power. He tapped in the air the moment she showed himself and a streak of light surged into the sky.
A light illusion suddenly exploded over the surface of the East Sea.
A white jade mystical mountain was covered by layer after layer of purple clouds inside the projection. It was dark, quiet and tranquil below the mountain as the seven-colored treasure tree swayed in the wind on the mountain summit.
A single purple-cloaked youth sat on the top of the tree with his legs crossed. His expression was casual yet he appeared like he was located at the very center of the universe and he was at the foundation of destiny. He was unfathomable and couldn’t be understood, he was Lin Feng’s original body.
A girl with enchanting looks stood silently beside Lin Feng.
All the powerful cultivators in the East Sea descended into silence the moment they saw Lin Feng’s original body and the girl beside him.
Some people developed ideas to form an alliance with the others and to move together, but everything happened too quickly, and they were a little caught off guard, and didn’t have time to organize anything.
If Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders possessed two celestial mountains at this point, both the humans and the demons would come together to discuss, negotiate and work together in order to launch a multi-pronged assault on the Celestial Sect of Wonders.
The next time the Ying Sea appeared and when the three mountains showed themselves to the world once again, the Celestial Sect of Wonders would become the official public enemy. It was very likely that some of the humans would even team up with the demons to target the Celestial Sect of Wonders.
However, the news had just begun to spread that the Penglai, Yingzhou and the Fangzhang Celestial Mountain had all landed into Lin Feng’s hands.
Some powerful cultivators were too preoccupied to be here in person, let alone form an alliance.
This sudden blow that the Celestial Sect of Wonders dealt to the rest of the world knocked everyone off their feet and made them dizzy.
They recovered and watched Lin Feng’s original body that seemed like he would arrive in person at any time. They glanced at Xuan Li beside him, and everybody felt a chill run down their spines.
Even if they prepared for this beforehand, Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders made it clear that they weren’t afraid of letting the whole wide world know.
As the new number-one holy ground in the Divine Lands, the Celestial Sect of Wonders could be said have achieved real success. If they wanted to shake the Celestial Sect of Wonders, they would probably need to combine the power of the entire world and that was a clear impossibility at this point.
Most of the people around attempted to console themselves instead. “Their possession of the Ying Sea gives them good defensive capabilities, but they still lack in offensive prowess, so the situation isn’t that bad...”
Even though their thoughts were as such, these people could still feel a bitter taste in their mouths.
Lin Feng’s voice came out from the light illusion projection. “The Grand Celestial Seven Seas are mystical and profound. I managed to obtain the Ying Sea serendipitously. I was going to announce to the entire world officially, but I didn’t expect everybody to come forward to congratulate me. I am guilty and apologetic of being unable to host and greet my guests.”
“There’s some wine and refreshments, please don’t laugh at me.”
Wang Lin was standing in void space with his hands behind his back and below the light projection illusion. The void beside him cracked open and his first disciple, Li Xingfei stepped out and greeted everyone before he raised his hands and rays of light flew through the sky.
Every ray of light contained white jade cups, and they exuded thick fragrance with dense auras of spiritual energy. The wine itself reflected uncountable light shadows that flickered as they played out the mystical and profound principles of the world.
Somebody heaved a heavy sigh in the void as he grasped a cup and finished the entire thing. He said, “Congratulations, leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, on becoming the ruler of the Ying Sea. This is the Divine Lands’ good fortune.” With that, he turned and departed without even looking back.
More and more people drank the wine in the cups before them. They all sighed with complicated emotions and muttered one after another, “Congratulations, leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, on becoming the ruler of the Ying Sea.”
Streak after streak of powerful auras subsequently disappeared one after another in the void, and the East Sea returned to a state of peace and tranquility. The clouds hovered in the sky silently and gusts of wind blew through the empty land, as if everything before was all a dream.
