The words of Gu Yuankai subtly hinted that the rise of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was too quick. Although they were very powerful now, there were many things that they still had to prove.

After listening to Gu Yuankai’s words, Lin Feng was not vexed either. He smiled as he looked at Gu Jun, “What’s your opinion, Comrade Gu?”

Gu Jun remained calm and said slowly, “As the experiences of a person increase, it’s important to see how much he has experienced and not just how long his experiences were.”

Gu Yuankai creased his brows and did not say anything much. Gu Cheng was also silent too.

Gu Jun looked at Lin Feng, “But my daughter is very mischievous, I’m scared that she will bring about a lot of trouble to your sect.”

“Your daughter is outstanding, thus she’s widely admired by others.” Lin Feng smiled. As he opened his palm, a streak of flowing light appeared and floated in front of Gu Jun and the others. It was a paper that flashed with a dim radiance. There were even a few words on the paper.

Gu Jun and the others were shocked initially, but when they saw the contents of the paper, their pupils shrank. Gu Jun and Gu Cheng turned to looked at Gu Yuankai.

Gu Yuankai did not move and stared at the words on the paper for quite some time. He kept on trying to deduce what it meant. After a while, he turned to look at Gu Jun and Gu Cheng, nodding his head as he did so.

“Master Lin, this pill formula…” Gu Jun turned to look at Lin Feng and Lin Feng smiled, “It’s an unintentional product of mine that I deduced. Since the few of you are experts in this, please give me advice.”

Gu Jun asked, “Master Lin, you mentioned that you deduced it? Didn’t you obtain this pill formula?”

Gu Yuankai and Gu Cheng’s body jerked slightly before they stared t Lin Feng.

Lin Feng’s expression did not change and he smiled while nodding his head, “Sorry to have made myself a laughing stock.”

Gu Jun’s expression was not relaxed and he even became more serious, “I believe your words, Master Lin. But since this is the case, I have to ask you. Why did you deduce the formula of this pill?”

With regards to Gu Jun’s doubts, Lin Feng was not offended. This was because his reaction was very normal. If he was in Gu Jun’s position, he would have the same thought.

“There’s no special reason. It’s just that the effects of the pill are indeed quite good, thus I deduced it. I may need it in the future. It’s as simple as this.” Lin Feng said, “To me, it’s only just a pill formula and a pill. There’s no far-reaching impact for it.”

“Today, I have shown the three of you this pill formula for two reasons. Firstly, I hope that the three of you can guide me along. Secondly, it’s my first time visiting this place, thus this is a present from me. Don’t be too alarmed.”

Gu Jun and the other two were silent at this point. Lin Feng’s tone of voice was very calm, but he sounded very persuasive.

This present of his contained the formula of a pill that could shake the entire Divine Lands. And it’s not even included in the betrothal gift that Lin Feng was going to use for the proposal.

If this pill formula landed in the hands of the Gu Family, it would have a special purpose, which would be greater than the value of the formula itself.

The three elders interacted with one another with their supernatural awareness non-stop. After a while, they quietened down. Lin Feng and the rest were not anxious too, as they waited in the pavilion.

“If this is a present, we’ll have been very rude in our hosting of all of you.” Gu Jun shook his head slightly and looked at Gu Yuankai.

Gu Yuankai extended his hand to keep the formula as he remained quiet.

As they spoke till here, something changed. Regardless whether it was Lin Feng or Gu Jun, they stopped discussing about Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhener’s marriage. They started to converse about cultivation-related stuff and current affairs. The atmosphere became less tense suddenly.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhener looked at each other. They were not excited, but they heaved a sigh of relief.

At this stage, their marriage had not been decided yet. But the possibility of it being rejected outright was almost none anymore. The only thing was that under what condition and when would things be confirmed.

Gu Jun looked at Lin Feng, “Master Lin, the leader of the Great Void Sect, Yan Nanlai, is here, but I haven’t talked with him yet. But in a brief conversation with him yesterday, he mentioned something that requires all three parties to sit down together.”

The Celestial Sect of Wonders was the first to pay a visit. Unless Gu Jun was bent on supporting the Great Void Sect, it was natural for him to meet the Celestial Sect of Wonders first.

Lin Feng nodded his head, “I am roughly aware of what he wants. If Comrade Gu is fine with it, I have no opinions either. We can discuss together.”

He stood up, “I shall return to our resting areas with my disciples. After Comrade Gu and the fellow comrades from the Great Void Sect finish your conversation, we can meet.”

If the Gu Family was bent on supporting the Celestial Sect of Wonders, they would have invited the Great Void Sect over even as Lin Feng was around. This would mean that both the Gu Family and the Celestial Sect of Wonders would be the hosts while the Great Void Sect was the guest.

Lin Feng did not want to make it difficult for Gu Jun, thus he offered to leave first.

Although Lin Feng was a person who was always used to uniting whatever forces that could be united, he was never resistant against the idea of a related marriage.

The result of the previous conversation was enough to leave Lin Feng satisfied. His intention was not to bait the Gu Family, thus he paid attention to the marriage of Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhener.

On the contrary, because of their marriage, he became less passionate in winning them over. He came to the Ancient Longevity World personally in case someone tried to thwart the marriage of his eldest disciple.

He wanted to win the Gu Family over more for the sake of preventing any future problem that could make it difficult for Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhener if they were stuck in the middle.

Although he was normally calm and logical in his decisions, Lin Feng would be a little reckless when it came to some stuff and people. He would also use his emotions, but he did not plan to change himself.

As Lin Feng and the rest returned to their resting quarters, they received the invitation of Gu Jun and the others on the second day. They proceeded to the central pavilion once more.

This time, the three parties met one another.

Seeing Yan Nanlai once again, Lin Feng stared at him. The both of them greeted each other and Yan Nanlai said, “Master Lin, it’s been awhile.”

Lin Feng smiled, “Yes, it’s been a long time.”

With Yan Nanlai’s long black hair and two streaks of snow-white hair, he appeared to only be 20-30 years old. He looked calm and indifferent.

Beside him, on his left and right, were a resilient-looking youth and a slightly serious elder respectively.

The former was the elder of the radical faction, Wu Mengqi, who was a successor of Wen Chiyang.

Wu Mengqi was the person in the Great Void Sect who could crack open the Netherworld Sea and summon the powers of the Netherworld Sea. As he blinked, one could see the surge of catastrophes in his eyes.

He turned to look at Lin Feng before moving his attention to Xiao Yan.

And the latter as the elder of the conservative faction, the Qing Ning Holy Man. He was the best in pill cultivation in the Great Void Sect, and was even treated by many to be the best in the Divine Lands.

Wu Mengqi and the Qing Ning Holy Man were both members of the Supreme Elder Council of the Great Void Sect. And beside the Qing Ning Holy Man, there was a youth, who gave an aura of conflict.

He seemed like an ordinary person, but had a rather weird charming look to him too. This was an unforgettable look.

And as time passed, it made one feel that his averageness was slowly stripping off and he revealed himself to be more charming.

He was like a premium jade that had slowly shed its outer layer, revealing its original look.

Lin Feng looked at him and nodded his head, “Your cultivation is becoming greater and greater.”

That youth clasped his fist and palm towards Lin Feng, “Master Lin, you are too kind. I am too ashamed to accept your compliments.” This youth was the All-Heavens-Under Strider of the Great Void Sect, Lin Daohan.

As to what they discussed after Lin Feng the day before, Lin Feng and the rest naturally did not know. They didn’t reveal anything on their expressions.

But Lin Feng could subtly feel that the perception of Gu Jun and the others towards him had seemed to change.

He didn’t seem to find out any real clues, but everything was just based on his supernatural awareness.

As the disciple under Lin Feng with the most sensitive soul, Zhu Yi also creased his brows. He could also feel something different.

“Comrade Gu told me that Master Yan has something that the three of us should discuss together?” Lin Feng remained calm. Although he did not know what the Great Void Sect said yesterday, the impact didn’t seem to be too great as of now.

He could feel that Gu Jun and the others did not change their stand, but they just developed a tinge of worry.

After hearing Lin Feng’s words, Gu Jun did not say anything but turned to look at Yan Nanlai.

Yan Nanlai nodded his head, “I want to say something regarding someone. He has something to do with the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Ancient Longevity World, the Great Void Sect and even the entire cultivation world in the Divine Lands.”

“This person is the resurrected Emperor of the Dead.”

After hearing the name of the Emperor of the Dead, Lin Feng and Gu Jun nodded their heads, “He is indeed related to all of us.”

Yan Nanlai said, “If he is not removed, he would be a huge problem for the entire Divine Lands. Especially during the critical point of the War of the Two Worlds, if he causes trouble, the result may be bad.”

Lin Feng looked at Yan Nanlai, “Do you know where he is?”

Yan Nanlai shook his head, “I’m still unsure, but I can confirm that his movements have something to do with the Netherworld Sea.”

“The disciples of the Emperor of the Dead have concealed themselves well. But the most reclusive Nether Priest has been hidden in the Netherworld Sea all these years, plotting a scheme for the Emperor of the Dead.”

Gu Jun creased his brows, “The Nether Priest has the power to enter the Netherworld Sea, but how has he remained concealed within the Netherworld Sea? There are countless catastrophes in the Netherworld Sea occurring all the time. If he always remains within the Netherworld Sea, even if he can resist these catastrophes, all his energy would have been wasted on resisting them. He might not have enough energy to do other things.”

“Unless his powers are beyond our expectations.”

Lin Feng lifted his finger and tapped on his seat. He shook his head and said, “I think there’s something else.”
