Chapter 2465: Grand Meeting
The disciples of the Fortune Shrine had all come back. They were going through these hardships together. Lin Feng looked over at the crowd and asked, “Leader, are you sure about the fighters?”
“Yes. They all participated in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds back in the days. Apart from you, Kong Ming and Chu Chun Qiu are low-level Saints. Zhou Rong Man and Hou Qing Lin will fight in the group of Half-Saints. Their fighting abilities have been tested,” the Shrine’s Leader smiled.
Lin Feng was surprised and murmured, “I wouldn’t have thought that these people would reach the top so quickly.”
“That’s destiny. That’s also why the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds occurs every hundred years, and the Destiny Wheel even rotated… because of you all,” the Shrine’s Leader smiled. People of that generation had grown up at an incredible speed, much quicker than the geniuses of the previous meetings of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Coincidentally, or perhaps not, that batch of cultivators had been for the Fortune Shrine!
The leader of the Fortune Shrine said, “The five of you represent the Fortune Shrine. Even though the selection is now determined, if anyone wants to give up, or if anyone thinks they can replace any of them, it’s now or never.”
Everybody looked at the leader, but remained silent. They had all tried, they had fought many times, it was useless to try again. They had tried enough times.
“Since nobody has anything to say, get ready,” said the leader, walking away. Lin Feng walked over to the Saint’s battle stage. He glanced at Chu Chun Qiu. Chu Chun Qiu’s eyes glittered as he also glanced at Lin Feng.
“Are you ready, brother?” Lin Feng asked Hou Qing Lin.
“We’ll only know after the battle,” replied Hou Qing Lin.
Zhou Rong Man also came over and said to Lin Feng, “I’m Zhou Rong Man!”
“I know your name is Zhou Rong Man, you’re the 333rd son of the Zhou Clan!” proclaimed Lin Feng, smiling at Zhou Rong Man.
“Lin Feng, I thought I was the strongest cultivator at the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, but I ranked fourth. Now I’m still fourth. You’re all much stronger. But I will do my best to catch up with you. Now I’m going to help you and the Fortune Shrine, and someday, I’ll fight against you,” said Zhou Rong Man smiling at Lin Feng with determination.
“I’ll wait for you,” replied Lin Feng, smiling and nodding back at him.
“Lin Feng, this time, you’re the one in danger, so be very careful,” said Jun Mo Xi. “They will do their best to kill you as quickly as possible. Your original strength hasn’t been at the maximum level for a very long. Be careful.”
“Indeed!” Lin Feng agreed.
——
More and more strong cultivators gathered in Fortune City. Many people from other Shrines appeared, their eyes filled with killing intent. The atmosphere was tense. Some symbols appeared in the sky, representing different Shrines.
The Fire Shrine’s symbol was a godly fire shield. Their members looked spectacular, dignified, and majestic. The Thunder Shrine’s symbol was a godly celestial hammer, there were thunders around it. Their people looked extremely aggressive.
“How spectacular.” Many strong cultivators in the distance were amazed by the Shrines’ symbols. They looked incredible with their robes fluttering in the wind. The atmosphere was oppressive.
A group of strong cultivators descended from the sky. They looked like immortals and enlightened beings. People felt good around them. They were strong cultivators from the Fortune Shrine.
“The Fortune Shrine’s Leader is holding the Scepter of Destiny!” The crowd was stupefied when they saw the Scepter of Destiny in the Fortune Shrine’s leader’s hand.
The Shrines’ leaders had probably all come with their most precious treasures. The previous time, the Empty Space Shrine’s Leader had sealed Da Yu City with the Celestial Sealing Map!
The leader of the Fortune Shrine smiled and said, “Today, you all came to my Shrine and I feel honored. However, I would like to know some things. Many Shrines came, but who is here to fight against us? And among those who aren’t here to fight against us, what is your position? The Empty Space Shrine’s Leader kind of decided everything on his own. Empty Space Shrine’s Leader, who’s your team?”
The Empty Space Shrine’s Leader looked sharp where he was seated at the top of the bleachers. He smiled and murmured, “We are the Empty Space Shrine, the Fire Shrine, the Ice and Snow Shrine, the Dazzling Gold Shrine, the Wind Shrine, and the Demon Shrine.”
“Six Shrines!” The Fortune Shrine’s Leader smiled, he had anticipated that. He asked “What about the position of the other Shrines?”
“The Soul Shrine is here to watch,” the Soul Shrine’s Leader smiled.
“The Earth Shrine wants to be a witness,” said the Earth Shrine’s Leader. All the Shrines expressed their opinions except for the Light Shrine, which didn’t seem to exist. No Shrine said they were on the side of the Fortune Shrine.
“The Supreme Animal World will be a witness too,” said middle-aged man who looked calm and composed, yet extremely aggressive.
“I feel touched, Dragon Leader,” the Fortune Shrine’s Leader nodded in acknowledgement.
“The Roc Clan came to watch,” said a strong cultivator from the Roc Clan. He was wearing a golden helmet and looked like a king.
The Phoenix Clan, the Unicorn Clan, and the Tortoise Clan all said they were there to watch.
“And what about those people? No need to hide,” said the Empty Space Shrine’s Leader icily.
Lights twinkled in the sky, and some coffins appeared, “Don’t worry about us, we’re not here to bother anyone.”
The world lights flashed and disappeared as if they had never appeared.
“Who is the referee this time?” asked the Fortune Shrine’s Leader.
“A leader of a Shrine, or a beast leader?” said the Empty Space Shrine’s Leader, looking at those who didn’t belong to any side.
“I’d like to recommend a referee,” said someone in the crowd. Everybody looked at that person, and many people recognized him.
“Tian Ruo Jian is here, too!”
Tian Ruo Jian rose up in the air and smiled, “I’m sure everybody will be satisfied by the referee I’d like to recommend.”
“Who?” asked the Empty Space Shrine’s Leader. After that, he gazed into the distance and saw some people arriving. Many people frowned.
Three people, the leader of the group was an old man.
“Peerless Saint!” Many people frowned. Only a peerless Saint could assume that function.
“It’s Weapon Master Bing! He became a peerless Saint, how strong!” Many people sighed with amazement. Since it was Weapon Master Bing, the two people at his sides had to be his fellow disciples, the best weapon makers in the world.
“You recommend Weapon Master Bing?” asked the Empty Space Shrine’s Leader indifferently.
“My teacher,” corrected Weapon Master Bing, smiling and floating above the battle stage, “Congratulations and welcome, Teacher.”
“Teacher!” the crowd gasped.
“Hahaha…” An incredible Qi rolled in the sky and the crowd heard someone laughing loudly. Weapon Master Bing’s teacher…. the best weapon maker in the world, the Godly Weapon Master… he was there! The crowd trembled.
They raised their heads and saw a vortex of empty space Qi. Suddenly, a figure appeared. He said to Weapon Master Bing and the others, “Thank you, young men.”
“Thank you, teacher!” answered the few people at the same time. The crowd was astonished; how young, that person was so young! Surprisingly, the best weapon maker in the world looked so young and yet Weapon Master Bing was old, and admired him…
“I came to be the referee, you don’t mind right?” said the Godly Weapon Master.
“Since you want to, no problem,” said the Empty Space Shrine’s Leader. He wasn’t happy, he didn’t know why the Godly Weapon Master had come. This wasn’t something he had anticipated.
