Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 197 Secrets, Investment!

Outside the secret chamber where Lin Feng was, the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Palace slowly spoke, drawing everyone's attention to a scroll he had seen many years ago that recorded the hidden affairs of the continent.

"Legend has it that in ancient times, Dou Di (Battle Emperors) frequently appeared on this Dou Qi Continent, unlike now, where we haven't witnessed the miracles of a Dou Di for tens of thousands of years!"

"Tens of thousands of years ago on the Dou Qi Continent, Dou Zun were everywhere, Dou Zong were as common as dogs, and even the legendary Dou Sheng often appeared in the eyes of the world."

At this point, the current head of the Heavenly Serpent Palace paused, sighed slightly, and a longing appeared in his eyes.

"According to the records, my Heavenly Serpent Mansion used to be under the patronage of the Heavenly Serpent lineage, the supreme among magical beasts. Back then, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was not just a landowner in this remote northwest region, but existed in the Beast Domain. It had many Dou Zun and even several Dou Sheng powerhouses within its ranks."

"It's a pity that all of this happened many years ago. If I hadn't consulted the ancient books, that old story might have been lost in the long river of time."

At this point, the current head of the Heavenly Serpent Palace fell silent, perhaps contemplating the unimaginable prosperity of that era. The Grand Elder and the others also remained silent, their expressions filled with shock; they simply could not comprehend how powerful the Heavenly Serpent Palace had once been.

After a long while, the current head of the manor finally spoke again.

"However, now that we have found the Holy Maiden, as long as we nurture her with care, and with a brother as talented as Master Lin Feng, sooner or later our Heavenly Serpent Palace will return to the Beast Domain and regain the supreme title of the Heavenly Serpent lineage!"

"Yes, with the Holy Maiden here, the glory of the Heavenly Serpent Palace is not far from being restored."

"."

Upon hearing the words "Saintess," the group's slightly dimmed eyes regained their brilliance. Indeed, according to historical records, each generation of the owner of the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil could eventually achieve a level of half-saint.

That will be the moment when their Heavenly Serpent Palace returns to the Beast Domain!

"Lord, what is the interpretation of Master Lin Feng's situation just now?"

Just as the group was excited about the Heavenly Serpent Palace's return to its former glory, an expressionless elder suddenly spoke up, shattering the dreams of many who were immersed in the Heavenly Serpent Palace's return to the Beast Domain and their subsequent attainment of the Dou Zun title. This caused them to glare angrily at him.

"Ahem, Elder Tang, you'll have to be more mindful of others' feelings from now on!"

The current lord coughed a few times, stroking his beard to hide the glistening tears at the corner of his mouth.

"Speaking of Master Lin Feng, he just controlled the Pill Lightning and then immediately went back to seclusion, which reminds me of a Dou Di family."

"A Dou Di family!?"

When the current lord finished speaking, the Grand Elder and the others were immediately shocked and interrupted him. The many hidden things they had heard today were far beyond the world of these minor Dou Zong.

"Listen to me," the current lord of the manor said, displaying a rare display of authority, "that on the Dou Qi Continent, every Dou Di, as long as their bloodline is passed down, will have descendants with extraordinary talent. If their bloodlines are close enough, they can even reach the Dou Sheng realm in a single day!"

"Legend has it that among the surviving Dou Di families, there is one that wields the power of lightning, known as the Thunder Clan!"

ThunderClan!!!

As soon as the current lord finished speaking, the Grand Elder and the others could no longer suppress their trembling voices, and an astonishing idea popped into their minds.

"Lord, do you mean...?"

"That's right. I suspect that Master Lin Feng is a prodigy from the imperial Lei Clan. Didn't the spies record that Master Lin Feng is an elder from Canaan Academy?"

The current prefect asked a question, but before anyone could answer, he spoke again.

"Although the information we found shows that Master Lin Feng grew up in a border desert city of the small country of Nagaman, his performance before that was only at the level of an average imperial prodigy!"

"The real upheaval occurred after he joined Canaan Academy. When the former head of the academy once privately discussed the situation in the Northwest Continent with me, he bluntly stated that Mang Tianchi, the founder of Canaan Academy, was a member of the imperial Lei Clan."

"I am now absolutely certain that Master Lin Feng became an outer member of the Thunder Clan, the Imperial Clan, after joining Canaan Academy!"

"Hiss hiss hiss"

Upon hearing the current lord's guess—no, his certainty—the Grand Elder and the others gasped in shock.

The Imperial Clan—they are perhaps even more powerful than the Heavenly Serpent Palace at its peak. They are true descendants of the Dou Di, noble lineages of the Heavenly Emperor!

If Master Lin Feng is indeed one of them, even if he's just an outer member without blood ties, his talent will certainly not be overlooked. After all, even within the imperial clans, they wouldn't ignore a prodigy who reached the Dou Zong realm in his early twenties and even became a seventh-grade alchemist!

Thinking of this, the group hesitated. After all, they were from a legendary imperial family, and they might be born as Dou Zong!

"Gentlemen," the current head of the manor called out, drawing their attention, "I propose that we must now fulfill Master Lin Feng's request and make a very good impression on him!"

"After all, my Heavenly Serpent Palace has not returned to the Beast Realm for thousands of years. Who can guarantee that the Holy Maiden, with her Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the Beast Realm?"

"However, with the help of the Dou Di family, this is not a problem at all!"

"Yes, we absolutely must invest heavily in Master Lin Feng!"

"But, having reached Master Lin Feng's current level, what kind of help can we offer?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately filled with distress. Indeed, the Heavenly Serpent Palace could hardly offer any help to a seventh-grade alchemist who was also a Dou Zong realm expert!

After all, they had been in this barren land for thousands of years. Although they had long been one of the overlords of the Northwest, they had no treasures left due to the limitations of the environment. And the treasures they had brought with them had long been used up over the past few thousand years.

"Got it!"

Just then, the expressionless Elder Tang clapped his hands, startling the group of people who were deep in thought.

"Elder Tang, what are you up to now?"

Elder Tang, who was being questioned by the crowd, shrank his neck slightly and stammered.

"I just saw the cauldron that Master Lin Feng used to refine pills. It seemed to be made of battle qi. It's possible that the aftershocks from refining a seventh-grade pill were too strong and shattered Master Lin Feng's original cauldron."

"If we can find a powerful medicine cauldron, Master Lin Feng will surely remember our kindness!"

"Haha, Elder Tang, your observation is quite keen. Next time, just say so if you have good news!"

Several people spoke up, praising Elder Tang's keen eye. Seeing this, even Elder Tang's stoic face stiffened into a smile.
