The conference and the pill cultivation contest were still going on. But for the elders of the various sects and powers, they were all focused on the talk that Lin Feng was going to give.

Since Lin Feng was conducting it in the Longevity City, the Gu Empire?s cultivators had to be there as the hosts. Gu Jun would personally be there too, while the rest of the cultivators would be his audience.

After listening, Gu Yuankai pondered for a brief moment before saying, ?The shallowest concepts may sound very simple. But if we think through them carefully, they can possess the deepest meanings. Every time we think about them again, we can obtain something new.?

He was using his powers to communicate with the Gu Empire cultivators.

For those of lower cultivation, they all entered deep thought as they heard his words and revealed a look of epiphany in their eyes.

Gu Cheng looked at Gu Yuankai and said, ?To see the true meaning behind the simplest concepts is a demonstration of one?s mastery.?

The reason why they were inclined towards the Great Void Sect then and had a conservative attitude towards the Celestial Sect of Wonders was not because they treated the Celestial Sect like their enemy. It?s because they couldn?t grasp the potential of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

But now most of the Gu Empire cultivators? stand had changed.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders had successfully demonstrated their powers to be above the Great Void Sect. Furthermore, they weren?t even at their peak yet and were still on the rise.

If nothing serious arises, the Celestial Sect of Wonders was bound to increase their gap with the Great Void Sect and their advantage was likely to become greater.

From the Gu Empire?s perspective, they naturally didn?t want to see such a powerful figure in the Divine Lands.

However, they could calmly face the Celestial Sect of Wonders? changes and development following a change in their direction.

Even as the Celestial Sect of Wonders expanded rapidly, they didn?t interfere in the development of the Gu Empire or the other sects.

After hearing Gu Cheng?s words, Gu Yuankai nodded his head, ?He sees the true meaning of the simplest concepts. Lin Feng has already managed to achieve that, and he can clearly see the Great Dao.?

Gu Cheng sighed slightly, ?The rest of the betrothal gifts are still fine, but the last gift?s indeed very lavish.?

Gu Yuankai and the rest didn?t open their mouths, but their expression showed that they agreed with him.

Undoubtedly, an enhancement in the Ancient Immortality Scripture would be very important to the Gu Empire. However, it wasn?t exactly the case either that the Gu Empire couldn?t exhibit their uniqueness and superiority if the rest of the sects were enhanced at the same time as them.

Lin Feng decided to hold the talk in the Longevity City and not Mount Yujing. He also decided to hold it during Xiao Yan?s engagement with Xiao Zhener. He only made these decisions after careful deliberation.

It wasn?t only tangible things that could be considered gifts.

Gu Jun said, ?Lin Feng is very magnanimous and cares for his disciples. His generosity might be a little surprising, but it?s understandable.?

?He, Xiao Yan and the others wouldn?t expect us to repay them. But it?s only right to reciprocate. We must do something in return.?

Gu Cheng and Gu Yuankai looked at Gu Jun, while Gu Jun glanced at Lin Feng. He said slowly, ?During the battle for the Spirit Sea, there might something simmering in the shadows in the Divine Lands.?

Everyone in the Gu Empire nodded their head as they heard his words.

For most of the humans and demons in the Grand Celestial World, they didn?t want the Spirit Sea to land in the hands of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the Great Void Sect or the Hades tribe.

Those who received the Secret Spirit Sea Key naturally hoped that they were fortunate to win control of the Spirit Sea. That?s the best for them. But if that wasn?t possible, they wished that no one could control the Spirit Sea. Preserving the status quo wasn?t a bad thing either.

Aside from the Celestial Sect of Wonder, the Great Void Sect, and the Hades tribe, it?s still acceptable if any other power obtained control of the Spirit Sea. But if any of the three powers controlled the Spirit Sea, it?d be the worst result.

The greatest worry that the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Great Void Sect had was the uncertainty shrouding which demons were going to enter the Spirit Sea. They were also unaware of what the demons were plotting.

There might be too much pressure in the Spirit Sea or the Divine Lands might face a barrage of attacks by the demons.

As for the untraceable Cosmic Marble Buddha and the Emperor of the Dead, it?s difficult to predict what they?d do during this period of time.

The intelligence on both sides was severely lacking. This made it likely for the unexpected to happen. Even though Lin Feng was skilled in the deduction of the way of karma, everything still seemed blurry to him. He couldn?t see things clearly.

Gu Jun said gradually, ?This time, the conflict might potentially be as serious as the War of the Two Worlds in the Divine Lands. We?ve to be cautious.?

The Gu Empire didn?t obtain the Secret Spirit Sea Key from the Gu Empire, thus they were going to remain in the Divine Lands.

The Gu Empire only joined in the War of the Two Worlds in the middle. But this time, the Gu Empire was going to be in the thick of the action right from the start.

Although it?s been a long time, Emperor Gu did engage in a blood battle with the demons when he?s at his peak.

The Mount Shu Sword Sect had a deep enmity with the Crimson Gorilla Ape Demons, while Emperor Gu always had an unpleasant relationship with the Heavenly Grandmaster Ape Demons. The current leader of the Ape Demons was the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

At the same time, the Gu Empire also had a deep enmity with the Dragons. Although this enmity wasn?t as great as the hatred between the Great Qin Empire and the Dragons, it still led to a very tense relationship between both sides.

There was a passageway into the Divine Lands from the Barren Expanses at the Southern Territories of the Gu Empire.

However, this might be an opportunity for the Gu Empire.

While the Gu Empire participated in the War of the Worlds and unleashed their all too, their reputation didn?t exactly increase because they entered the war late. They didn?t have sufficient time to assert their dominance in the world.

Since the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Great Void Sect were going to the Spirit Sea, the rest of the sects and powers in the Divine Lands were faced with both a crisis and an opportunity. If they prepared and carried out their strategies well, it could be a great chance to enhance themselves.

?We?re waiting for good news from the Celestial Sect of Wonders. But we can?t rely on them and not do anything ourselves. That?ll only be detrimental to our cultivation. I won?t explain further since all of you should understand what I mean.? Gu Jun said, ?The Ancient Immortality Scripture is the foundation of the empire. Its effect is all-encompassing. Everyone, please be prepared.?

?During the battle for the Spirit Sea, the situation in the Divine Lands is likely to change if the demons don?t gain the upper hand. Our empire must also be prepared.?

He gazed far away, ?If I?m correct that Lin Feng?s ambitions have grown and is likely to succeed in his plan, then we must continue to follow him.?

Gu Cheng, Gu Yuankai and the rest of the Gu Empire elders bowed towards Gu Jun, ?At Your Majesty?s command.?

The conference and pill cultivation contest carried on smoothly. The elders? attention was focused on Lin Feng?s preaching of the Dao, while the younger cultivators were drawn to the conference and the pill cultivation contest.

The conference saw a lot of intense action, but the result wasn?t surprising. The most outstanding performers were from the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

It?s a publicly recognized thing that the Celestial Sect of Wonders? disciples? gap with the rest of the cultivators was increasingly growing. Their advantage was also growing.

Looking at the Aurous Core and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, the rest of the younger cultivators felt as if they couldn?t catch up to them.

When the gap reached a certain level, the feelings of jealousy and hatred would be replaced feelings of admiration.

At this stage, the brilliance of the Celestial Sect of Wonders didn?t really surprise the rest of the cultivators. However, they were likely to draw a lot of attention if they experienced any setback.

There were some black horses that appeared in the conference. They came from the Mount Shu Sword Sect.

There were some junior disciples from the Mount Shu Sword Sect that came for the conference, led by Ji Wenrui.

Their performance left everyone shocked and impressed. It?s only at this point that everyone recalled that the Mount Shu Sword Sect was still a Holy Ground for the art of swordplay, even though they had been superseded by the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

It?s just that Mount Shu had been sealed for many years and the sect had very little interaction with the outside world. That?s why most hopefuls turned to the Celestial Sect of Wonders instead.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders? Qingwu Pavilion was naturally their first choice. Even if they couldn?t make it to the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the Heavenly Master Sword Sect, Lightning Sword Sect, Sword of Radiance Sect and other sword sects were willing to recruit them.

While the Mount Shu Sword Sect wasn?t completely depleted of talents, the talent pool that they could choose from had shrunk. This greatly affected the vital energy of the sect. The younger cultivators didn?t have a lot of resources to work with, thus they needed more time to rest and recuperate their energy.

But the Mount Shu Sword Sect was evidently restoring its vital energy under the influence of the Tiangang Swordmaster, Ji Wenrui, the Lixiong Swordmaster and the others.

Their sense of sharpness seemed to have retracted, like a sword returning back to its casket. But the sword that was kept in the casket surfaced with a sense of vitality that?s never seen before.

Besides the Celestial Sect disciples, the Mount Shu Sword Sect cultivators that participated in the conference were the most outstanding. Only the Gu Empire cultivators could compare to them. The Great Zhou, Great Qin, Heavenly Master Sword Sect, Royal House of the Northern Tribes and other sects were all overshadowed.

As compared to the conference, those who participated in the pill cultivation contest seemed to have benefited more. Those who participated all achieved some form of reward.

Lin Feng preached for many days. He only stopped as the conference and pill cultivation contest officially ended. He bade goodbye to Gu Jun and the rest along with his disciples before returning to Mount Yujing.

After arriving back at Mount Yujing, the bunch of junior disciples returned to their respective abodes while Lin Feng went to the third level of the Tripitaka Block. He sat in front of his Immediate Disciples and smiled, ?The Great Dao is magical. All of you should take some time to study it.?

?The Spirit Sea is going to re-open soon. We?ve to prepare well too.?

Lin Feng said to Zhu Yi, ?You?ll be in charge of completing the mantras of the other sects and powers.?

After that, Lin Feng looked at Yue Hongyan, Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu, ?Follow your second senior and choose what you?re interested in to study. Reference it to the Two Elements Origins-Returning Scripture and whatever that you?ve learned before. Find your own paths.?

?Yes, Master.? Zhu Yi and the others nodded their head and acknowledge his words.
