Chapter 2800: The Path of Merit

The Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable was momentarily stunned upon hearing the news. He knew Lin Feng’s purpose for coming to the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, but he didn’t expect Lin Feng to progress so quickly. He certainly knew the outcome for ascenders who established sects, and couldn’t help worrying for Lin Feng and his daughter. However, seeing Si Hong beside him, he didn’t say much more and asked, "Where?"

"Thunder Valley," Lin Feng answered directly.

"What?" the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable said in surprise. He had heard of that place, and no one understood the information and locations in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm better than he did. But he didn’t expect Lin Feng to choose Thunder Valley as the location to establish his sect. He then asked, "How did you find that place?"

"The Tower Master of Myriad Gods told me, and I finally settled on it," Lin Feng explained simply. It seemed that the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable really knew everything, though he was aware that the latter was very concerned about the sect’s matters. It seemed necessary to have a good chat with the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable without Si Hong around, and perhaps ask for some advice.

The Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable nodded. He was worried, yet believed in Lin Feng’s abilities, otherwise, he wouldn’t have entrusted his daughter to him. He then changed the topic, looking at Si Hong and asked, "Hong’er, how have you been?"

"I’m doing well, no need to worry about me," Si Hong replied with a gentle smile. She didn’t want her father to nag, and as long as she could be with Lin Feng, nothing else mattered.

Hearing his daughter say this, the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable felt relieved, knowing that the happiness on her face couldn’t be faked. He then looked at Lin Feng and said, "Take good care of my daughter."

Lin Feng smiled and nodded. At that moment, a seven-colored butterfly flew into the air, transformed into human form, and said, "Enough talking, time to eat."

"Auntie Xiao Qi," Si Hong stood up, walked to Xiao Qi’s side, and gave her a hug. If it weren’t for Xiao Qi taking care of the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable all these years, she wouldn’t have felt so at ease.

Xiao Qi smiled, took Si Hong’s hand, and swiftly flew towards the main hall. Lin Feng and the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable followed behind, and seeing this, Xiao Jiu and Tangyuan quickly hurried after them.

Looking at the table full of sumptuous dishes, Xiao Jiu and Tangyuan glanced at Lin Feng. Since Lin Feng didn’t give the nod, they didn’t dare to start eating. The Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable, seeing their mouths watering, smiled and said, "Go ahead and eat."

Hearing this, Tangyuan and Xiao Jiu immediately started eating without hesitation. Lin Feng helplessly shook his head, thinking it might be better not to bring them to such occasions in the future, as it was quite embarrassing.

Thus, they finished the meal with laughter and chatter. Afterwards, Xiao Qi took Si Hong into a room to talk privately, while Tangyuan and Xiao Jiu, their stomachs full, lay on the ground and fell asleep. The Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable started drinking with Lin Feng alone...

"What’s your plan with the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult?" asked the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable after his daughter left. He didn’t want his daughter worrying too much about Lin Feng, but matters needed to be resolved. He only wished to help Lin Feng as much as possible, and in some matters, he could intervene more effectively.

Lin Feng raised his glass to clink with the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable’s and then downed it before replying, "I haven’t decided yet, but after the sect is established, dealing with the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult will be a priority."

He understood that the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable wanted to assist him, but he preferred not to trouble him, as he had stayed out of worldly affairs for so many years. Moreover, he felt it was time to settle this personal matter.

"Murong Chuan is ruthless and will not let this rest. Do you need my help?" The Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable said. Although he seldom left Spirit Butterfly Island, he was aware of matters in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm and wished to remind Lin Feng that Murong Chuan, being the leader of the top sect, possessed significant cunning.

"Understood, father-in-law, no help is needed for now. If necessary, I will seek your assistance." Lin Feng politely declined. He understood the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable’s intentions, but since it was an issue he had caused, he was unwilling to bother others.

Hearing Lin Feng’s words, the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable didn’t press further, and asked, "When will the sect be completed? I’d like to visit."

"Within two years," Lin Feng replied. "I will definitely invite you then."

He knew the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable wasn’t genuinely eager to visit the sect, but was concerned about Si Hong’s situation. The risk an ascender’s sect faced in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm was well known, so the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable was anxious about whether he could ensure his daughter’s safety, and he knew if the sect was in danger, the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable would assist.

"Where have you been these days?"

"I’ve been to many places since leaving Spirit Butterfly Island: the Southern Sea, Frost Highland, and now the West, reaching Wangchuan Cliff this time."

"Wangchuan Cliff? That’s a legendary place."

...

...

The Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable continued chatting with Lin Feng, and they talked until sunset, still not exhausted. Yet, the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable found Lin Feng’s recounted experiences almost unimaginable, proving his judgment was sound. Since Lin Feng believed he could establish a sect, he must have confidence to face everything.

Recalling the time he saved Lin Feng, who also saved Hong’er, it seemed like a destined fate, so he was willing to do everything possible for Lin Feng’s needs.

Lin Feng and Si Hong stayed on Spirit Butterfly Island for a few days before deciding to leave. Before departing, the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable called Lin Feng and Si Hong to his side and said, "I have nothing much to give you. Please accept these Yuan Stones."

The Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable took out a mountain of Yuan Stones from the space, knowing that Lin Feng’s sect was in need of Yuan Stones at the moment. It’s more practical to gift Yuan Stones for their farewell, and that was all he could help with.

Seeing this, Lin Feng was momentarily stunned and immediately declined, saying, "It’s not necessary, Father-in-law."

"Just accept them," Si Hong said, squeezing Lin Feng’s hand. She had secretly asked her father for them, knowing Lin Feng’s current situation and that he would certainly refuse if he knew.

"Just take good care of Hong’er." The Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable smiled and said.

Si Hong looked at her father with a reluctant expression in her eyes, unsure when they would meet again after parting this time. She stepped forward, looking at the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable, and said, "Father, take care of yourself and look after Auntie Xiao Qi."

The Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable smiled and suddenly felt that his daughter had become much more sensible after being with Lin Feng. He patted his daughter’s head and said, "Okay."

"Then we shall take our leave now. Thank you, Father-in-law, for your assistance. When the sect is established, I will come to bring you over," Lin Feng said, bowing to the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable. He knew that without the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable, there would be no Lin Feng today.

With these words, he took Si Hong and Tangyuan on Xiao Jiu’s back, soaring into the sky.

Watching them leave, the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable sighed gravely, knowing that Lin Feng had so much to face...

On Xiao Jiu’s back, Si Hong embraced Lin Feng, looking at the scenery of the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. She hadn’t been this happy for a long time. Recalling the first time she met Lin Feng, she knew their destined connection, resting on Lin Feng’s back, feeling utterly secure.

Tangyuan sat on Xiao Jiu’s head, watching the two of them, feeling a bit overwhelmed. It interrupted their tender atmosphere and asked, "Boss, where are we heading next?"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng said, "Zicheng is not far from here. Let’s head there first."

"Zicheng?" Tangyuan exclaimed, then protested, "The Eternal Blood Demon has escaped, and you still want to go to Zicheng? No way, no way."

Recalling the fierce battle between Lin Feng and the Eternal Blood Demon, it was still frightened. Boss almost died because of the Eternal Blood Demon, and Tangyuan didn’t want such a thing to happen again.

"Haha, I do hope to encounter the Eternal Blood Demon and have another battle." Now his strength was very different from before. He never forgot about this matter, and he would surely take his revenge, which was also one of his reasons for going to Zicheng.

Tangyuan was momentarily stunned by these words, but knowing Boss’s character, it patted Xiao Jiu’s head and instructed, "To Zicheng."

Si Hong listened to their conversation silently, not saying anything. Although she wasn’t the one who accompanied Lin Feng to Zicheng before, if the Eternal Blood Demon hadn’t injured Lin Feng, he wouldn’t have gone to Spirit Butterfly Island, and they wouldn’t be like this now.

Xiao Jiu increased its flying speed, swiftly stopping at the outskirts of Zicheng. It transformed into human form, and the two humans and two beasts walked toward Zicheng.

After staying in Lin City for a long time, Zicheng no longer seemed as prosperous as before. However, upon entering the area, Lin Feng sensed a special aura as if a heavy haze was hidden in Zicheng’s sky, surrounded by a very obscure Formation, which made Lin Feng instantly vigilant.

Looking around, Zicheng was just as bustling as in the past. Si Hong, who had never been to Zicheng, was curious about everything there. Xiao Jiu also felt that the atmosphere in Zicheng seemed very different.

"Recalling a few years ago, we saved the entire city’s people in Zicheng, Boss, you were really amazing back then!" Tangyuan found itself reminiscing as they walked.

"What happened back then?" Si Hong became curious, having only heard a rough outline from Tao Tao, but she wanted to know more about Lin Feng.

Lin Feng gave Si Hong a faint smile and said, "It’s nothing."

He didn’t want to dwell on past events, but he was pondering over one issue, how to accumulate Force of Merit.

At that moment, a silver light descended from the sky, landing next to Lin Feng, who looked at him and said, "Taoist Friend Lin, long time no see."

Seeing the elder in front of him, Lin Feng smiled and said, "Great Elder."

The Great Elder of Ziyun Sect had known about Lin Feng ever since he stepped into Zicheng and flew over directly from the sect. Over the past years, they never forgot Lin Feng’s help. Without his support back then, Zicheng might have perished.
