Chapter 2792: Chapter 2768: Anything but a Coincidence

Chapter 2768: Definitely Not a Coincidence.

The two of them looked at each other, thinking of the danger just now, and exchanged a smile. The opposing identities they had before were already gone. If they hadn’t worked together just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Lin Feng then looked at the Spirit Ruins Emperor and said, "Senior, do you know what that was?"

Lin Feng was making guesses in his heart. Though he couldn’t be sure, he still felt that danger was already drawing near. At this moment, the surroundings were quietly beginning to change...

"The other side of that vortex should be the Demon Domain." The Spirit Ruins Emperor was no longer as crazed as he’d been earlier; a faint look of worry had appeared in his eyes. He then continued, "What’s meant to come will come in the end."

So the Spirit Ruins Elder’s thinking was the same as Lin Feng’s. Lin Feng also suspected that the other side was the territory of the Demon Domain. He had only seen the Blood Ridge Demon Banyan, yet he could feel that aura of the Demon Clan. He suddenly recalled what the Wuxiang Diviner had said not long ago: the Demon Clan had already set their sights on the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. Wouldn’t that mean the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm was in danger?

Thinking of this, he felt deeply puzzled. How could his battle with the Spirit Ruins Emperor just so coincidentally punch through to the territory of the Demon Domain? He then asked, "Senior, the Demon Clan shouldn’t be able to break in that easily, right?"

After pondering for a moment, the Spirit Ruins Emperor looked at Lin Feng and said, "There’s only one possibility. The Demon Clan opened the passage on their Demon Domain side, and you just happened to open the passage on the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm side. We simply encountered each other in the dark void of space. It was really close just now."

Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh, recalling that war with the Demon Clan countless years ago. Even now, the memories left him filled with emotion. People around him had died in droves; the few Divine Emperor–realm powerhouses who survived had all since hidden their names and identities. At this moment, he felt a fear like never before— the Demon Clan had come, after all.

Hearing the Spirit Ruins Emperor’s words, Lin Feng seemed to understand and nodded. But in his heart surged boundless regret. If he hadn’t insisted on going to another space to cross hands with the elder, none of this would have happened. But now it was already too late.

He finally understood that opening the Demon Domain’s passage was easy for the Demon Clan, but entering the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm was very difficult. Likewise, it was just as hard for them to enter the Demon Clan’s side. Thinking of this, he suddenly guessed: could it be that the Demon Clan already intended to make a move against the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, or had sent people ahead to scout? This encounter was definitely not a coincidence. In that case, the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm absolutely had to prepare defenses in time.

Moreover, the Demon Clan had just attacked the two of them, so they must have already discovered the flaw in this space. They absolutely had to find a way to mend this breach. Thinking back to his battle with the elder, they truly hadn’t held back at all. If the Demon Clan launched a surprise attack on the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, the entire realm would have to unite to resist the Demon Realm together. He then looked at the elder and asked, "Senior, please forgive this junior for offending you earlier."

The Spirit Ruins Emperor waved his hand and looked at Lin Feng, saying, "It’s this old man whose strength is inferior to yours. This old man lost."

He knew that if it weren’t for the appearance of the Demon Clan, the outcome would have been the same if they’d kept fighting. But he suddenly remembered that when Lin Feng had saved him just now, he had moved to his side in an instant. It seemed this young man truly possessed many Secret Techniques beyond his imagination. He really was getting old.

Lin Feng smiled faintly. His strength was practically on par with the Spirit Ruins Emperor; he had merely walked a different path from the cultivators of the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. He asked the elder, "May I ask, Senior, how much do you know about the Demon Domain?"

He very much wanted to know more about the Demon Clan. After all, the Wuxiang Diviner’s words had always lingered in his heart—saying that he would be the one to save the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. Though he didn’t dare believe it, the Wuxiang Diviner’s predictions had all come true. Now, he needed to ask more about the Demon Domain.

Looking at Lin Feng, the Spirit Ruins Emperor let out a long sigh and said, "Speaking of that, it was countless years ago. I am one of the few who survived. Back then, I hadn’t yet advanced to the Divine Emperor realm. I watched the people around me die, the heartland of the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult destroyed. But just when we were in despair, the Demon Clan suddenly withdrew from the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. As for the exact reason, I still don’t know to this day. In the years since, I’ve devoted myself to cultivation, all for the sake of becoming a Supreme Powerhouse, so that if the Demon Clan invades again, I can do something for the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm."

As he spoke, scenes of that brutal battlefield surfaced in his mind—corpses strewn everywhere, the people living in misery, the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm plunged into darkness. He had tried to seek the reason behind the Demon Clan’s retreat, but never found an answer. However, the moment the Demon Clan withdrew, he felt that what they would face in the future was an even greater conspiracy.

Hearing this, Lin Feng also thought of the mural in front of the Heavenly Martial Emperor Hall, which vividly depicted the scenes of that time. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help feeling that they were now deep in internal and external turmoil. As the Sect was being established, it faced the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, and he himself bore the heavy burden of saving it. With that thought, he felt the road ahead was long and arduous.

"Senior, have you always lived in seclusion here?" Lin Feng suddenly changed the topic and asked. He couldn’t understand why the elder, clearly a peerless powerhouse, would be willing to remain in these deep mountains. But in his heart he could also understand such a choice. As a cultivator, one does not pursue fame and fortune, only a higher realm. The path of cultivation has no end. This Spirit Ruins Emperor could be said to be the strongest person he had met since coming to the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. He hoped that once his Sect was established, they would not become enemies.

"Hahaha, isn’t it nice here? No one disturbs me." The Spirit Ruins Emperor laughed loudly. He had never been one to chase after fame and profit. And here, he could comprehend many things, and his strength had improved greatly over the years. He then suddenly thought of something and asked Lin Feng, "Boy, what Cultivation Technique are you practicing?"

He recalled how Lin Feng had actually managed to learn the Cultivation Technique he had spent his entire life studying, and in such a short time could wield it with ease. Such Comprehension was something he had never seen, even in people with the highest talent. And Lin Feng kept surprising him, from the condensation of Yuangang to the final Thousand Miles in One Step he used to save him. Just when had such a person appeared in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm? It truly amazed him. He had hidden himself away for so many years, never imagining that there was still a shortcut for cultivators. Yet this young man had shocked him to the core.

Lin Feng understood that the elder wanted to ask about his learning of that Cultivation Technique. Looking at the elder, he said, "Senior, I only learned your Cultivation Technique and then applied it, that’s all. Nothing special."

"Enough, enough, I’m old. Learning more is useless now." The Spirit Ruins Emperor waved his hand as he spoke. He could tell that Lin Feng wasn’t unwilling to tell him. He himself had already reached the Middle Stage of the Divine Emperor realm; if he didn’t ascend soon, his lifespan would be exhausted. Thinking of this, he had no real regrets. He had cultivated for countless years, and comprehended what he should. He only feared that he wouldn’t live to see the day the Demon Clan invaded again, that he would die without helping the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. That would be his greatest regret.

Even so, he was still curious about how exactly Lin Feng’s techniques worked. His nature was like that—if he didn’t understand something, he had to study it thoroughly. He then asked, "What was that final move of yours?"

"Thousand Miles in One Step."

"How do you pull it off?"

"Divine Sense control..."

...

And so the two of them kept talking about cultivation. Unknowingly, several days passed. During these days, Lin Feng discovered that the Spirit Ruins Emperor hadn’t been deliberately trying to oppose him; he was simply obsessed with cultivation and had just happened to meet a worthy opponent. Lin Feng also saw that the Spirit Ruins Emperor was someone who asked humbly for guidance, not putting on airs because he was a senior. He had asked many questions about cultivation, which made Lin Feng feel a sense of respect for a cultivator with such character.

Through these few days of interaction, the Spirit Ruins Emperor was surprised to find that Lin Feng was truly an extraordinary person. The experiences he’d had over these years made this old man, who had lived so long, sigh in amazement. He also felt that Lin Feng was extremely fortunate—these ten-odd years had been more exciting than his own countless years. No wonder his strength was so formidable. Now he finally understood that true cultivation wasn’t just about accumulating time; it also required opportunity.

Meeting Lin Feng could be considered an opportunity for him as well. He hadn’t expected that through these days spent together, he and Lin Feng would not only resolve their previous grudge, but even become friends.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng had already stayed here with the elder for over a month. He felt that spending time with a powerhouse truly allowed him to learn many things, and the elder had told him a lot of cultivation insights. Most importantly, the two of them had worked together to mend the spatial breach they’d created earlier. In the process, Lin Feng also discovered that the elder’s level in Formations was extremely high.

Suddenly, he thought of how the Spirit Ruins Emperor had cultivated here for countless years, so he should be very familiar with the western side. Remembering what the Wuxiang Diviner had told him earlier about the "great advantage in the west," he still didn’t understand what it meant, so he asked, "Senior, I want to know if there is any special place nearby."

He felt that the opportunity the Wuxiang Diviner had spoken of should be a chance for him to raise his strength. Every time his strength had surged, it was because he explored some strange location—be it an ancient estate or a palace—and after gaining a legacy, his strength would rise to a new height. Thinking of this, he knew the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm was vast; if he didn’t ask, he truly wouldn’t know which direction to take.

Hearing Lin Feng’s words, the Spirit Ruins Emperor remained silent for a long time, then said to Lin Feng, "There really is a place. But that place is very special. I can’t even enter it. Do you want to go take a look?"

He had cultivated within this region for countless years and was very familiar with the surroundings, but that place had always been beyond his reach. He also knew that some places simply weren’t his opportunity; going there would be useless. He was very curious whether Lin Feng would be able to enter.

Hearing this, Lin Feng hesitated for a moment. What kind of place was it that even a Middle Stage Divine Emperor couldn’t enter? He then said to the Spirit Ruins Emperor, "Senior, can you take me there?"
