Chapter 1123
1123 Banquet of Light!
“Phew…”
The wind howled. The immortal cranes flew extremely quickly. Even cultivators at the Aura Cultivation realm had to resist it with their true aura, and it was difficult for them to even speak. However, the Foundation Establishment elders had no such worries. Their true aura was immense. Why would they care about such a small gust of wind?
Lin Feng glanced at the Imparting Elder, then voiced the question in his heart, “Elder, I’ve seen the teachings of the Daoist Ancestor many times in the ancient texts. This Daoist Ancestor passed down the way of cultivation. H should be a Nascent Soul Immortal, right? He can live for a long time, and even be undying and indestructible. Why did the Daoist Ancestor disappear?”
The Imparting Elder might not know either. Lin Feng was just chatting casually. Perhaps he could obtain some unexpected clues.
The Imparting Elder glanced at Lin Feng in surprise. He pondered for a moment, then said, “The Daoist Ancestor? It’s too ancient. Some people even doubt the existence of a Daoist Ancestor. However, according to the ancient texts of our Fire Cloud Sect over the generations, there was indeed a Daoist Ancestor. It’s just that likely only the two Nascent Soul Immortals from the Great Light Temple and the Infernal Sun Sect know why the Daoist Ancestor disappeared.”
Lin Feng nodded. There were many unsolved mysteries in the Immortal Land, such as the Daoist Ancestor, the reason the two Nascent Soul Immortals had always been fighting, and so on.
Forget about ordinary cultivators, even top-notch Golden Core Perfected Persons might not know.
“We’re here! The Great Light Temple is ahead.” Suddenly, an elder reminded them.
Lin Feng looked over. Indeed, a magnificent temple could be vaguely seen in front of him. It appeared to emit infinite holy light. Even a glance at it could calm one’s mind.
“The Great Light Temple?” Lin Feng muttered softly. A strange smile appeared on his lips.
Soon, the immortal cranes had already descended into the Great Light Temple. Disciples of the Great Light Temple came to receive them.
As the Banquet of Light approached, many sects and cultivators, both major and minor, headed to the Great Light Temple. A great number of cultivators gathered, but no one dared to cause trouble here.
There was only one reason: the Great Light Temple had Holy Monk Zen Dragon. With this Nascent Soul Immortal presiding over it, who would dare to be impudent?
Lin Feng followed the people from the Fire Cloud Sect to the residence arranged by the Great Light Temple. He did not use his mental power to investigate the Great Light Temple. After all, a Nascent Soul Immortal might discover his abnormality.
Moreover, the Banquet of Light was tomorrow. It was almost time.
“Holy Monk Zen Dragon, and Sect Master Lin Mo of the Infernal Sun Sect. Let me see the true powers of this world tomorrow.”
Lin Feng muttered softly and stared at the night sky outside the window.
…
“The Banquet of Light is tomorrow. I want to make a trip personally.”
In the Infernal Sun Sect, Sect Master Lin Mo sat high on the throne. His gaze was domineering as he looked down on all living beings.
“Sect Master, Zen Dragon places great importance on the Banquet of Light of the Great Light Temple. If you go, will it cause a great battle between the orthodox and heretic factions?” An elder of the Infernal Sun Sect said cautiously.
After all, every time Lin Mo and Zen Dragon met, a huge battle was inevitable.
“Don’t worry, I’m not going to cause trouble for Zen Dragon on this trip. There are some things I still have to ask Zen Dragon personally.”
Lin Mo glanced at the sky. Recently, he had also felt uneasy. He was also a Nascent Soul Immortal, so he naturally knew that this was a warning from the heavenly principle, and the warning was growing stronger and stronger.
Even though he and Zen Dragon were not on good terms, and could even be considered mortal enemies, they were the only Nascent Soul Immortals in this world. Only Zen Dragon could sense the warning from the heavenly principle.
Lin Mo and Zen Dragon could be considered both enemies and friends. Since the heavenly principle issued a warning this time, he naturally needed to have a proper discussion with Zen Dragon.
“Phew… In that case, we can rest assured.”
The elders of the Infernal Sun Sect also heaved a sigh of relief. In the past few hundred years, the Infernal Sun Sect had not been doing well. In fact, they were suppressed by the orthodox factions. If Lin Mo really wanted to start a war between the orthodox and heretic factions, perhaps Lin Mo would be fine, but Golden Core elders like them would be in trouble.
…
“The Great Light Temple is ahead!”
The ten Demon Kings were already gathered. Moreover, without anyone’s knowledge, they had already left the Wilderness Mountain silently with the elite greater demons, and headed for the Great Light Temple.
As the factions of demons were weak, be it the orthodox or heretic factions, none of them actually took the demons seriously. Moreover, the demons had been hiding in the Wilderness Mountain previously. Naturally, no one would have thought that the ten Demon Kings would be so bold as to leave the Wilderness Mountain.
“Ancestral Fire Dragon, are we really going to the Great Light Temple like this? Isn’t this courting death?”
The Green Python King was a little hesitant. It was not just the Green Python King. The other Demon Kings probably had the same thought.
The Ancestral Fire Dragon was the first to follow Lin Feng. It was also the most loyal to Lin Feng. Hearing this, it could not help but take a deep breath and say calmly, “I don’t know if it’s courting death, but it’s hard to say if the Great Light Temple will still exist after this.”
That’s right. At the thought of that mysterious master, the Demon Kings’ hearts clenched. Whether they were confident or not, they had to carry out his order.
Moreover, if the demons could conquer the Great Light Temple, it was simply a magnificent feat unprecedented in tens of thousands of years.
Perhaps the ten great Demon Kings would all become legends among the demons!
…
Early the next morning, the echoing sounds of reciting scriptures came from the Great Light Temple. It was filled with holiness, but also calming. Many factions had already sent people over. The Banquet of Light was about to begin.
The people from the one temple, three divisions, six schools, and nine sects were all present. However, the position of the Fire Cloud Sect was a little awkward. It was ranked at the bottom. Still, even at the bottom, it was still one of the major orthodox sects.
“Heh, isn’t that the Fire Cloud Sect?”
“That’s right. The Fire Cloud Sect, which is ranked at the bottom every year, has already been declining for a hundred years. If not for the fact that the Holy Monk still accounts for their contributions to the orthodox factions in the past, the Fire Cloud Sect wouldn’t still be one of the nine sects.”
“That’s right. It’s been a hundred years, but the Fire Cloud Sect is still struggling to maintain itself. Sooner or later, they’ll be kicked out of the nine sects.”
The expressions of the people from the Fire Cloud Sect were a little dark. Mu Jingjing’s entire body was trembling. The elders appeared calm, but their expressions also darkened.
The other orthodox factions did not say anything, but the disdain in their eyes was still obvious.
Moreover, some minor sects outside the major orthodox sects were eyeing the location of the Fire Cloud Sect covetously. Among them, the Nine Rivers Sword Sect was the most eye-catching. There were two Golden Core Perfected Persons in the sect, and it could not forget to drag the Fire Cloud Sect down.
“Hmph!”
The Imparting Elder snorted coldly, then sent a voice transmission to Lin Feng, “Daoist Prodigy, there’s no need to hold back when the orthodox disciples compete in battle later. You must shine and raise the prestige of our Fire Cloud Sect! Let those sects see that no matter how much our Fire Cloud Sect has declined, our position is not something they can covet!”
Lin Feng naturally nodded, telling the Imparting Elder not to worry. However, in reality, Lin Feng was not interested in competing with the disciples of other orthodox sects at this great Banquet of Light at all. He was definitely going to disappoint the elders of the Fire Cloud Sect.
His gaze swept across the people sent by the various major factions. There were several auras of peak Golden Core cultivators, all of whom were influential elders of the major orthodox factions.
However, Holy Monk Zen Dragon of the Great Light Temple, whom Lin Feng had been looking forward to seeing the most, did not appear for a long time. In the past, Holy Monk Zen Dragon would only make a brief appearance at the end of the Banquet of Light, but that was all.
Lin Feng looked outside the Great Light Temple. He could already clearly sense the familiar cosmic power. It meant that the ten Demon Kings had already arrived.
“Forget it. Once the ten Demon Kings have surged into the Great Light Temple, will Zen Dragon still not appear?”
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly. Then, he gave the orders to the ten Demon Kings through a special method.
