Chapter 1262: Blessings Abound!

Lin Feng held the fort on Mount Yujing and Mount Yujing returned to the Kunlun Mountains. Although his original body didn’t proceed towards the Barren Expanses, his presence continued to affect proceedings at the end of the War of the Two Worlds.

After the War of the Two Worlds approached its end, the rest of the powers in the Divine Lands started to send their representatives towards the Mount Kunlun region.

They were all going to congratulate Lin Feng’s eight Immediate Disciples, which had all formed the Immortal soul.

The difficulty of reaching the Immortal Soul Stage was equivalent to the summary of the difficulties of the preceding stages.

Reaching the Immortal Soul Stage also meant that one would become immortal. The world would become entirely different as one crossed the barrier between Man and Heaven.

There was an old adage in the Divine Lands that claimed that talents who died prematurely were not true talents, while those who formed the Immortal Soul certainly fulfilled their potential and turned them into true abilities.

It was an extremely joyous matter if an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator appeared in an ordinary sect. It would affect the entire fortunes of the sect and it would be an occasion deserving of a grand celebration. In certain regions, it could even affect the influence of that particular region.

Even for sects and powers like the Great Void Sect, Mount Shu Sword Sect, Celestial Sect of Wonders and Great Thunderclap Temple, it was still a joyous thing for an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator to appear.

After the Anti-Celestial War that enabled Xiao Yan and the other 3 to reach the Immortal Soul Stage, the Celestial Sect of Wonder’s foundation was further boosted in this War of the Two Worlds. Yue Hongyan, Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu all managed to form the Immortal Soul successfully.

That the eight of them had formed the Immortal Soul further made the occasion more joyous. At the same time, everyone from the Divine Lands was in awe.

Lin Feng had many heroes and talents under him. This had already been propagated many years back. Now that all of Lin Feng’s Immediate Disciples had formed the Immortal Soul, it further cemented this belief.

As the curtain on the War of the Two Worlds closed, Xiao Yan and the rest returned to Mount Kunlun. The Celestial Sect of Wonders also informed everyone that they were about to accept disciples once again.

This news jolted the entire Divine Lands as it spread.

Many of the great powers proceeded towards Mount Kunlun, either to congratulate the Celestial Sect of Wonders or to observe the Sect-Opening Ceremony.

On one hand, they wanted to congratulate the Celestial Sect of Wonders and deepen their ties with the number one Holy Ground in the Divine Lands. On another hand, they wanted to understand Lin Feng’s ideas about the future and the direction of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. This would enable them to adjust their strategies to fit accordingly.

The closer sects and powers to the Celestial Sect of Wonders – Great Qin Empire, Purple Clouds Sect, Royal House of the Northern Tribes – arrived the earliest.

The Royal House of the Northern Tribes were still fine, as they didn’t suffer any losses in the War of the Two Worlds. They even harvested a lot of benefits in the successful counterattack against the demons.

The Royal House Lord came personally this time. He killed his way into the Barren Expanses along with Shi Tianhao. After the war ended, they returned to the Divine Lands together.

The Great Qin Empire was in a much worse state. They suffered great losses. Their entire empire almost collapsed. Although they did reap some benefits in the counterattack against the demons, they couldn’t make up for their previous losses. At this point in time, no one would be generous to them just because they lost heavily and the Great Qin Empire didn’t harbor such a hope either. They could only try their best to gather more resources and restore their vital energy.

Not only Xiling City, the entire Great Qin Empire was in ruins now. The new Great Qin Emperor, Shi Zongtang, couldn’t free himself up and could only send Shi Zongmao to Mount Kunlun on his behalf.

He couldn’t help it either. When they countered against the demons, Shi Zongmao commanded the Great Qin Empire cultivators who could still fight into the Barren Expanses on the back of his own injuries.

Whereas the Purple Clouds Sect was also one of the sects that fought their way into the Barren Expanses in the beginning to mid stage of the War of the Two Worlds. The sudden appearance of the Dragons in the Black Sea and their ambush on the Great Qin Empire caused the Purple Clouds Sect to be mixed up in the quagmire too.

They lost many of their elders and young talents. Even the Blue Pavilion Holy Man almost perished. If Zhu Yi didn’t rush to save them in time, the Blue Pavilion Holy Man would have perished under the Blazing Flames Dragon King.

After a close call, the Blue Pavilion Holy Man managed to retain his life with Zhu Yi’s help. The Azure Lighting Evil-Slaying Blade was also completely destroyed in that encounter.

After Lin Feng’s four sword strike determined the result of the war, the Purple Clouds Sect attacked the Barren Expanses under the Thunderclouds Holy Man’s leadership and made up for their losses. They even managed to obtain a surplus.

But the Thunderclouds Holy Man and Purple Clouds Sect knew that the situation of the Divine Lands would change in the future according to the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ actions.

This ally of theirs was so powerful that they were willing to just stick by their side.

The Royal House Lord, Shi Zongmao, Thunderclouds Holy Man and the rest were all received by Lin Feng. Those who followed them also rested on Yun Peak and there were naturally others who hosted them too.

A youth in white robe looked at everyone in front of him and said with a dim laughter, “My fellow comrade, please settle down in the guest rooms.”

Everyone clasped their palm and fist as they looked at the youth in white, “Thank you, Ganges Holy Man.”

This youth was naturally Kang Nanhua. Before the War of the Two Worlds, he retreated into close-door cultivation and managed to form the Immortal Soul in the midst of the war.

Although he’s not a descendant disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, he was the earliest sect guardian ever since the Celestial Sect of Wonders was established. His personal relationship with Lin Feng was very close. Now that he had formed the Immortal Soul, his powers were extraordinary and cultivators from the other sects deeply respected him.

Everyone went to their respective guest rooms. Among the Purple Clouds Sect cultivators, a lady in green took in a deep breath and revealed a smile on her face.

A youth in black stood beside her. He had a tall figure and was charming too. His facial features were exquisite and made him look like a lady, but he had a fierce-looking gaze that masked his gentleness.

This youth in black passed a message, “You should have stayed on Mount Yujing before, right? The spiritual energy is sufficiently nourished there, more superior than Yun Peak.”

The lady in green twisted her lips and returned the message, “Of course. I stayed at the Wasteland Valley then and the movement of spiritual energy contained an aura of primitivism. But there’s another way concept within and the accumulation of spiritual energy there is extremely great. Walking there makes me feel as if I’m inside water.”

The lady in green looked at the youth in black from the corner of her eye, “Why, Xuan Ye? You want to go up and take a look?”

The youth in black who was called Xuan Ye shook his head, “It’s best not to be special. After all, we came with our sect.”

The lady in green was Jun Zining, a descendant of the Jun Family in the Ancient Yuantian World. He chuckled as she looked at Xuan Ye, “Then what’s your purpose for asking me?”

Xuan Ye answered honestly, “I’m interested to go there. That’s why I asked you. But I don’t want to go on my own specially.”

Jun Zining snorted, “At least you’re honest.”

Xuan Ye could not help but laughed as he looked at her. His fierce-looking gaze became much gentler.

“Since Sister Zining is not going to ascend the mountain, I’ll have to descend the mountain to find you.” A voice rang in both their ears suddenly. As they turned to look over, they saw a young lady in purple standing at the door. Her magnificent style left many embarrassed, and amidst this style of hers, there was a sharp sword will that she concealed. Only Immortal Soul Stage cultivators could sense this sword will and even they would be petrified by it.

This young lady in purple was Luo Qingwu. Jun Zining cheered when she saw her and hurried towards her. Luo Qingwu also laughed as she approached Jun Zining.

The two of them held each other’s hands and chortled non-stop. They remained as close as ever and their ties did not diminish because of time or the gap in their cultivations.

Luo Qingwu looked at Xuan Ye before she smiled back at Jun Zining, “Oh, Sister Zining, is this the one who you’ve been mentioning all this while…”

Jun Zining coughed and slapped her gently. She interrupted, “I haven’t introduce to you. This is my senior, Xuan Ye. He was my father’s disciple. When I was a kid and before we even met, he had already joined the sect. I only met him after I joined the sect.”

“Oh…” Luo Qingwu laughed mischievously, “This indeed means that…”

Jun Zining stretched her hands over to slap Luo Qingwu’s lips, “You deserve a slap on your lips.”

Xuan Ye looked at Luo Qingwu and bowed respectfully, “Elder Luo, greetings from Xuan Ye from the Purple Clouds Sect.”

Jun Zining and Luo Qingwu were just having a relaxed conversation. To him, Luo Qingwu was an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator and a sword cultivator that was far superior than most ordinary Immortal Soul Stage cultivators.

Luo Qingwu smiled, “There’s no need for formalities. Since our sects are close, we can ignore our seniorities at times. But we all have our own ways of addressing one another. I think it’s fine if we call each other comrades.”

Xuan Yue nodded his head and smiled, but he didn’t add on anything else. Jun Zining held Luo Qingwu’s hand at this moment and said seriously, “Xiaowu, congratulations on forming the Immortal Soul. You’re blessed with longevity now.”

Luo Qingwu laughed, “It’s all thanks to the sect. I’m still far off from my seniors.”

The both of them were naturally delighted having reunited after so long. But as they reminisced about Gu Lei and Li Kuiyin who perished in the war, they could not help but feel slightly down.

Not only did Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao, Yue Hongyan and Luo Qingwu share close relationships with Li Kuiyin, Li Kuiyin also treated Jun Zining very well after she entered the Purple Clouds Sect. Her passing left Luo Qingwu and Jun Zining in sorrow.

As time passed, more and more sects and powers had arrived on Mount Kunlun.

The Ancient Longevity World, Great Qin Empire, Purple Clouds Sect, Royal House of the Northern Tribes, Lightning Sword Sect, Sword of Radiance Sect, Great Barren Sword Sect, Sun Moon Sword Sect, Heavenly Master Sword Sect and many other sects had sent representatives over.

Even the Great Zhou Empire, Vast Sea Sword Sect, Samsara Sect, Intense Flaming Sword Sect and independent cultivators all came to congratulate the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Perhaps it was just to avoid awkwardness. No one from the Mount Shu Sword Sect came. Ji Wenrui only expressed his blessings through voice communication.

After the war, the Heavenly Master Sword Sect and the other eight sword sects wanted to demand an explanation from the Mount Shu Sword Sect. The Celestial Sect of Wonders didn’t interfere either and allowed them to deal with the matter on their own. They didn’t ask too many questions after either.

After a period of preparation, another Sect-Opening Ceremony was held.

The entire Divine Lands came to show their blessings in this Sect-Opening Ceremony following the War of the Two Worlds.
