Chapter 1301: The Great Zhou Empire’s Properties

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Shao Celestial Light Ambrosia was made using the nectar on the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain along with some spiritual herbs produced from the Penglai Celestial Mountain. It was extremely beneficial for immortal soul stage cultivators and it was an ancient formula that almost everybody knew. However, it hadn’t been seen in a long time as the original materials were hard to come by.

Everybody started to laugh with a bitter taste in their mouths as soon as they saw this exotic wine. This spiritual wine was extremely precious, but it wasn’t absolutely invaluable to th em. Still, producing the wine required time and wasn’t something that could be done overnight. It was therefore apparent that the Penglai Celestial Mountain had been in Lin Feng’s hands for quite some time.

Lin Feng had been keeping secrets this whole time but there was no longer a need to continue hiding things, and it was clear that he had arranged this all along.

The coalition that would have spanned across the entire world didn’t work and it was destiny that nobody could do anything about Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Any hasty and reckless actions would simply be antagonizing the Celestial Sect of Wonders for nothing.

If Lin Feng spent a lot of time and energy on assimilating the Ying Sea, even if these people wouldn’t be able to steal control over the Ying Sea or steal control of any of the Celestial Mountains, they would probably be able to cause some trouble for Lin Feng.

It was a pity that Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu’s complete destruction and dust from the battle of Ying Sea had settled, ending with all three Celestial Mountains under the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ control. Lin Feng’s disciples and their avatars were the ones that accomplished all this, while Lin Feng’s original body and Xuan Li anchored down Mount Yujing so that nobody dared to make a move.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders hadn’t yet given their all and collected the entire Ying Sea into their pocket. This caught everyone else off guard while shaking them at the bottom of their very hearts.

Lin Feng’s original body and Xuan Li wasn’t doing anything, and the powerful individuals that had gathered outside the entrance to the Ying Sea or the Cosmic Marble Buddha that had arrived inside the Ying Sea all didn’t dare to do anything.

White clouds circled around the sky above the Ying Sea as the Cosmic Marble Buddha watched the Three Celestial Mountains that lined up to in the distance next to each other without saying a word.

He could feel that the space above the Ying Sea wasn’t the same as before.

Even though the difference was minor, the Cosmic Marble Buddha could still tell the nuanced profundities.

It was also because of this that he knew, even though Lin Feng’s hadn’t yet been able to completely assimilate it and control it freely, this area had become the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ unshakeable territory.

Controlling two Celestial Mountains and controlling three Celestial Mountains was a real change from quantitative to qualitative.

When they only had two Celestial Mountains, Lin Feng and the rest of the Celestial Sect of Wonders could move around freely inside the Ying Sea. Now that they had three Celestial Mountains, as long as Lin Feng was willing to, he could direct the entire Ying Sea against anybody else that was in the vicinity.

The Cosmic Marble Buddha glanced at Lin Feng and scrutinized him for a long moment, but didn’t say a word from the beginning to the end.

All three of Lin Feng’s avatars were sitting on the respective Celestial Mountains, and they all had a faint smile on their faces but not a single word was spoken.

Lin Feng didn’t mind round two in the future.

When he drew the various sariras from the Imperial Palace and the Great Heavenly Wheels, the Cosmic Marble Buddha raised his hand and took in every single one.

The sariras arrived beside the Cosmic Marble Buddha and immediately released boundless light. There was sense of clarity and mercifulness that came from these sariras, and the sounds of song and scripture could be constantly heard.

The Cosmic Marble Buddha nodded towards Lin Feng and turned around to depart. Green lotus flowers appeared beneath his feet as he walked away and into void space, before he took the inter-world passageway that connected the Ying Sea to the Greater World and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The Vaidūryanirbhāsā World that was hovering above the East Sea this whole time suddenly trembled and speck of light descended into it.

Mount Meru’s light shadow inside this world began to increase in size, and a towering Stupa descended that was four-hundred and eighty-thousand feet long on all four sides. It was also four-hundred and eighty-thousand feet tall, and it was immense.

Forty-eight thousand sariras that were conjured from Buddhist light erupted with lustrous radiance on top of the Stupa and loomed over the entire world. The Vaidūryanirbhāsā World became eternally clear and there was no longer day or night.

The Cosmic Marble Buddha hovered above the Stupa’s summit. The Amitabha Buddha’s light shadow that he had erected above Mount Meru previously suddenly flew up and landed beside the Cosmic Marble Buddha.

Green lotuses riddled Mount Meru’s light shadow and there was a monk sitting in a lotus position inside every piece. They followed the green lotuses up into the Stupa in the sky, and every single person took a different person as they chanted scripture so loud that their sounds echoed throughout the heavens. This included the Virtuous Zen Master, the Da Kong Zen Master and every other monk started to chant their Buddhist titles as a layer of golden Buddhist light enveloped every single one of them, and everyone exuded a feeling of true clarity.

The Cosmic Marble Buddha closed his eyes and the Vaidūryanirbhāsā World flashed once and disappeared on the spot and away from the East Sea.

There were still monks that roamed the world who brought others who believed in the Buddha along on the road to Nirvana, but there were very few who knew the exact location of the The Vaidūryanirbhāsā World.

The Great Void Sect and the Mount Shu Sword Sect sealed themselves in their mountains, and news that the Celestial Sect of Wonders were not interfering with Buddhism traveled across the entire world. The spirit of Buddhism was lit up once more inside the Divine Lands, and the Buddhist sect gradually started to show signs of recovery and flourishment.

The Cosmic Marble Buddha departed just like that and Lin Feng had no intention to interfere or obstruct him.

He returned the sariras for good karma and they would be resolved in kind in the future. However, it didn’t affect Lin Feng’s eventual resolution that he would have to seek with the Cosmic Marble Buddha in the future.

The quest set forth by the system for the return of the sariras after the destruction of the Great Thunderclap Temple had been removed.

Even though Lin Feng felt the return of the sariras to the Cosmic Marble Buddha was meant their return to nirvana, he was long aware of the system’s cunning and fraudulent schemes and thus he wasn’t so concerned anymore.

The sariras would have been useless with him. He couldn’t be bothered to infuse them into his magic treasures, so he decided to just return them and he didn’t consider anything else.

But there was something that Lin Feng was a little interested in.

Yue Hongyan arrived atop the Penglai Celestial Mountain and immediately saw Lin Feng’s Nine Qi Avatar. She presented a sphere of purple energy and said, “Master, what you have instructed me to do.”

Lin Feng smiled faintly and reached out for the sphere of purple energy. He could see something that resembled a purple water crystal body within.

Light circles expanded and pervaded continuously inside the crystal body, and he could feel an immense power coming from inside.

The Supreme Reign Divine Light that once belonged to Liang Pan!

Holy Lights of Creation could be taken by force, and this was something that both Lin Feng and Yue Hongyan knew from the start. However, it was easy to say but difficult to execute and completing the task wasn’t a simple matter.

Holy Lights of Creation had been extremely rare sightings ever since the beginning of time. People that were born with Holy Lights of Creation were all legends that left their mark in history, and records of people actually stealing Holy Lights of Creation were few and far between, and it was near impossible to reference the successes of their predecessors.

Shi Tianhao managed to steal Shi Tianyi’s Final Holy Light with Lin Feng’s help, but Shi Tianhao was the Final Holy Light’s original owner anyway.

Yue Hongyan had been extremely grateful for everything that Lin Feng had given her before the start of her battle.

Lin Feng wouldn’t be entirely confident of puling out Liang Pan’s Holy Light of Creation even if he did it himself, and he was asking her to do it on his behalf.

However, in order to give Yue Hongyan a chance to avenge her country, Lin Feng and Zhu Yi still left Liang Pan for her.

It was fortunate that she didn’t disappoint Zhu Yi and Lin Feng. Not only did she decapitate Liang Pan, she managed to extract his Supreme Reign Divine Light and brought it back for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng studied the purple crystal body and thoughts spun around in his head. “Heh, how interesting. I have to say, Liang Pan, your reservations were pretty deep and even now I still feel amused and interested. What level would you have reached if not for me? Under the watchful eyes of the Great Void Sect, would you have reached Emperor Tai’s level, or the Emperor of the Dead, or the Emperor of Violence?”

He continued to study the power contained within the purple crystal body. Lin Feng was positive that the Supreme Reign Holy Light belonged to Liang Pan and not something he took later on in his life.

In other words, this emperor of the Great Zhou Empire that rarely fought battles himself, erected the Natural Supreme Spiritual Altar during the foundation establishment stage and formed the Natural Supreme Crucible. He formed the purple pill when he reached the aurous core stage and became heteromorphic. When he formed the nascent soul, he gave birth to the Holy Light of Creation that belonged to himself.

This was an extremely rare sight, even if one considered the entire course of history.

If the System’s standards of Potential were used, if one’s Innate Ability was at least nine points, and in addition to a harmonious combination of a host of other factors, one would be able to have his or her own Holy Light of Creation.

Even though the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ mantras were mystical and profound and they had ample amounts of resources, those people with nine points in Innate Ability and Potential weren’t guaranteed to have a Holy Light of Creation.

“However, your fate is still the same. Your camaraderie with Zhu Hongwu meant you were destined to Zhu Yi’s stepping stone – the only question that mattered was how long you could have held out for.” Lin Feng couldn’t help it as he chuckled and shook his head before he kept purple crystal body.

There were very strict criteria for people that took others’ Holy Lights of Creation. Few people would be able to do it as different Holy Lights of Creation were suitable for different people, and their standards were all distinct.

Lin Feng was already prepared to pass this Holy Light of Creation down to his disciples. The only problem was that he would still have to mull over the exact process and how to make the endeavor a successful one.

In terms of efficiency, this Holy Light of Creation was more suitable for Zhu Yi. Lin Feng thought that Zhu Yi would probably be able to bear the weight of this Holy Light of Creation, but he needed some validation nonetheless.

He settled the issue with the Holy Light of Creation as he withdrew the Two Elements of Creation Formation as well, and the Imperial Palace and the Great Heavenly Wheels were still trembling within it.

These two magic treasures had been damaged earlier on and the sariras infused into them were also just extracted, and they were even more despondent at this point.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders’ greatest harvest besides the Ying Sea would be these two Destiny-level magic treasures.

However, Lin Feng would still have to deliberate about the settling these two magic treasures in the best way possible. Even if he tamed them, to be able to use them in battle wasn’t an overnight thing and both magic treasures were a little damaged after the epic battle.

Besides the Imperial Palace and the Great Heavenly Wheels, there were many other treasures and all sorts of resources stored inside the Imperial Palace

Even though he was forced out of Tianjing City and to escape into the distance, Liang Pan would definitely take the treasures that the Great Zhou Empire had amassed over the years along with him as much as he could. These treasures and resources were meant to sustain him during his path of escape and were also what he would rely on to rebuild his empire in the future.

Lin Feng’s eyebrows twitched at the sight of such ample and bountiful resources even with his current state of riches and experience, and he even developed a feeling of amazement.

Most of the Great Zhou Empire’s resources had been used over the years to fix the Imperial Palace and the Great Heavenly Wheels, but the Great Zhou Empire’s properties were still relatively solid and impressive.
