Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

"puff"

In the far north of the world, an elderly man dressed in exquisite and gorgeous clothes was fiddling with a spirit plate in his hand. Suddenly, his eyes widened, a trace of fear appeared deep in his pupils, and his face quickly turned pale.

He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, which terrified his disciples around him. They rushed forward and fed him two Heart-Soothing Pills that the Heavenly Emperor had personally refined.

"Master, what's wrong, Master?"

"Master, please don't die! I haven't learned all your skills yet!"

"Master."

"."

"puff"

Upon hearing the shocking statement from one of his traitorous disciples, Master Cang coughed up another mouthful of blood. It took him a long time to regain consciousness, and he was extremely weak, his face still very pale.

"Master, you're awake."

Upon seeing Master Cang awaken, one of the disciples who was tending to him was overjoyed and was about to shout, which made Master Cang twitch.

"Alas, what a misfortune for our sect!"

Master Cang forced himself to calm down, took out two Heart-Soothing Pills from his storage ring, and swallowed them. His breathing gradually became calmer, and his complexion gradually became rosy.

"Quickly, go and invite the Heavenly Emperor to emerge from seclusion!"

Suddenly, Master Cang seemed to remember something and said somewhat urgently.

"Master."

"Go quickly!"

"yes!"

The disciples hurriedly disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving Master Cang dumbfounded. After a long while, he lamented the misfortune of his sect.

"I told you to go and inform them, not all of you. Don't I need someone to take care of me?"

"I was so stupid, really. I only knew that these disciples were unworthy, but I didn't expect that they were also brainless."

"What a misfortune for our sect!"

"Old Cang, are you saying that the light representing Ancestor Dan Yan has completely lost contact?"

Lin Feng's face was somewhat gloomy. Dan Yan Ancestor could be considered a kind and honest elder. Back in the Dou Qi Continent, he risked being eaten by the Soul Emperor to come out of seclusion and protect his growth.

Now, however, he faces the risk of being eaten, how could he not be furious?

"Your Majesty, this point of light appeared and disappeared intermittently, constantly changing its position. With my abilities, I was unable to pinpoint its location. Please forgive me!"

Master Cang struggled to his feet, but Lin Feng pressed him down. At the same time, a beam of emerald light descended, and with the flow of creation, Master Cang's condition had returned to its peak.

"Your Majesty, I've suddenly thought of a plan!"

Just then, Master Cang had a sudden inspiration, as if he had thought of something, and exclaimed in delight.

"Old Cang, what do you mean?"

"Previously, there was only a trace of its aura, so it was difficult to pinpoint its location. However, the Heavenly Emperor has already raised the Dou Qi Continent, and there must be more traces of Dan Yan on this continent."

"As long as I bring these items here, with my abilities, even a Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign could pinpoint their location!"

"That's excellent!"

Upon hearing that Master Cang possessed such abilities, Lin Feng was overjoyed and immediately set off to enter the Dou Qi Continent to search for the many items used by the Dan Yan Ancestor.

After Lin Feng left, Master Cang's disciples hesitated for a long time before finally speaking. Their expressions were strange.

"Master, isn't that a forbidden technique of our sect? Our patriarch clearly forbade it, stating that it is a technique for stealing heavenly secrets, and its use is ominous, as it will greatly shorten one's lifespan."

"Why are you still here?"

Several of the chubby-faced disciples were somewhat unwilling. Given Master Cang's age, if he were to use such a forbidden technique, he would probably not live much longer.

"Oh, you silly children, I'm doing this for your future!"

Master Cang smiled with satisfaction, then got up and went into the secret room. When he reappeared, he had several sets of scrolls in his hand.

"This is the essence of our sect's secret technique; all the contents are exactly the same. Your talents are all quite remarkable. After my passing, you must ensure the continuation of our sect's legacy!"

"Master!"

"."

The apprentices cried loudly. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that some of them were missing a hand or a leg, some were missing an eye, and some were missing an ear; all of them had physical disabilities.

"If someone with average aptitude, like Master, is physically healthy, they can only cultivate this secret technique to a certain level."

"Stealing heavenly secrets will be punished in the dark, and your birth defects are a consequence of what God owes you."

"Therefore, you often go unpunished for revealing heavenly secrets; even if you peek into the past or future, you are only given a minor punishment as a warning."

"My disciples, the fate of our sect rests on your shoulders!"

"Rest assured, Master, the four of us brothers will never forget your teachings. We will work together to strengthen our sect!"

The fellow disciples burst into tears again, then helped each other up and bowed deeply to Master Cang.

"Alright, don't worry. I'm not necessarily going to die. According to my calculations, after this revelation of heavenly secrets, I still have a hundred years left to live."

"If, within these hundred years, I am fortunate enough to break through to the Heavenly Supreme Realm, hahaha, then my lifespan will be endless!"

Master Cang stroked his beard and smiled, showing little worry and appearing quite carefree and at ease.

"Old Cang, you're saying that on purpose for me to hear, aren't you?"

As soon as Master Cang finished speaking, ripples spread through the space inside the house, and then Lin Feng appeared, accompanied by an old ox chewing on grass.

"Hahaha, Heavenly Emperor, please forgive me. I just want to live a few more years, don't be ashamed, don't be ashamed!"

"Old Cang, use your secret technique. Regardless of whether we find Ancestor Dan Yan or not, I will ensure that you break through to the Heavenly Supreme Realm within a hundred years."

"At the very least, I'll guarantee you a lifespan of a thousand years!"

Lin Feng's expression was somewhat solemn. He was also unaware that Master Cang's use of such a secret technique would have such a strong backlash.

Master Cang has now reached the Great Perfection of the Earthly Supreme Realm. Logically speaking, he should have at least several thousand more years to live. However, once this secret technique is used, he only has a hundred years left to live.

No wonder he was so confident, claiming that even a Saint-level Heavenly Sovereign could not stop his secret technique.

"My disciples, go and prepare the materials and set up the altar. After I have bathed and changed my clothes, and prayed to our ancestors, I will begin the ritual!"

"yes!"

The four disciples withdrew one after another. Then, following Master Cang's instructions, Lin Feng went to the central square to drive away any bystanders so as not to interfere with his spellcasting.

About half an hour later, in the central square of the Heavenly Court, the figures of the demon slayers who had been coming and going to the Tower of Babel to exchange the corpses of extraterrestrial evil races for pills had disappeared.

Instead, there were soldiers dressed in black armor, with solemn faces, standing every three to five hundred meters, holding long spears, their auras subtly intertwined, captivating the heart.

In the center of the square stood a massive altar, a thousand feet tall. At the four corners of the altar, Master Cang's four disciples, dressed in strange robes, knelt motionless, facing the four directions of heaven and earth.

"Thump!"

"Knock knock!"

A series of chiming sounds rang out, and four people were seen holding huge wooden awls, striking the ancient divine bell in front of them heavily.

Then, Master Cang, dressed in an ancient Taoist robe with mysterious Bagua patterns engraved on it, stepped onto the thousand-foot-high altar.

"Thump!"

After a long while, it seemed as if an invisible voice rang out, and Master Cang suddenly sat cross-legged and threw out the compass he had spent his life refining.

"O spirits and deities of the universe, heed my call and come to the mortal world."

"Buzzing!"

A mysterious fluctuation suddenly struck, as if the gate to the hidden world had been opened again, or as if ghosts and gods were roaring and whispering. In Lin Feng's perception, a mysterious and cold energy suddenly appeared above Master Cang's head.

"This feeling, Brother Huang Quan, is so similar to the power of your Dharma body. It seems that we both come from the same world."

Huang Quan frowned at this moment, and then he let out a soft shout. The gate between the mortal world and the underworld was opened by him, and the water of Huang Quan flowed out, enveloping his entire body.

"What!?"

He exclaimed in surprise, his body swaying slightly. Before anyone could ask, he pointed, and a terrifying scene appeared before him.

"Mortal, do you know that everything in this world is in balance? To know something, you must lose something. Do you understand?"

From everyone's perspective, countless strange figures surrounded Master Cang on the high platform. Some had bull heads and human bodies, some had horse faces and human bodies, and some were indescribable beings.

"I know of this, of course. Please tell me the location of the owner of this ox, and I will offer it to you as you please!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fragrance suddenly emanated from Master Cang's body. From Lin Feng's and the others' perspective, countless beings pounced on him frantically, opening their mouths to tear at him.

With each strange substance torn off, Master Cang's face aged further, wrinkles increased, his white hair lost its luster, and his bright eyes became dull.

"Enough, enough! The scale of the undertaking and the amount of offerings received should all adhere to the principle of balance!"

A few breaths later, just as Master Cang was about to fall, those mysterious beings finally stopped what they were doing, then exchanged a glance and soared into the sky from the thousand-foot-high platform.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared!

While these ghosts and spirits were devouring Master Cang's lifespan, Lin Feng did try to intervene, but Master Cang stopped him with a telepathic message.

"Heavenly Emperor, my sect's lineage dates back to ancient times. One of our ancestors was friends with an Immortal Emperor, and even he couldn't do anything about these beings. Heavenly Emperor, please just watch!"

Seeing this, Lin Feng had no choice but to give up. Although Lin Feng believed that his future achievements would be no small matter, he also understood that at present, the gap between him and the Immortal Emperor was as vast as heaven and earth.

"Perhaps, only by recording our names in full on that list of gods can we explore these mysterious beings."

The original text can be found at 6#9@book/bar!

In Lin Feng's mind, he recalled the enormous divine ranking he encountered in that mysterious space when he was raising the Dou Qi Continent. It seemed to be able to suppress the entire ancient time and space.

Even the mysterious particles that could confuse him dared not be the slightest bit presumptuous in the face of that divine list.

"One day, I will be ranked on the Heavenly Ranking!"

Thinking of this, Lin Feng subconsciously glanced at the people around him, his gaze lingering on Xiao Yan and Zi Yan for a moment.

"Whoosh whoosh."

Before long, the ghosts and gods that had flown to all corners of the world returned. Enveloped by the River of the Underworld, everyone could clearly see a bull-headed ghost whispering in Master Cang's ear.

Then Master Cang showed a knowing look on his face. Seeing this, many ghosts and gods seemed to have reached some kind of pact, and the cold energy between heaven and earth surged.

Clearly, many ghosts and gods must return to their world. Yin and Yang are separated and cannot be out of balance. Otherwise, even someone like Master Cang would have his lifespan wasted in the blink of an eye.

"Young man, the power of the Underworld is formidable, but you must use it with caution!"

Just as the many ghosts and gods were about to leave, one of them suddenly turned around and gave a meaningful look at the Yellow Springs in the River of the Underworld.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, glanced at Lin Feng with considerable apprehension, and then quickly left.

A voice could be faintly heard, intermittent and its meaning unclear.

"Damn it, how come it has such a noble and sacred beast aura?"

"Could they come from some ancient, primordial world?"

Among those present, Lin Feng, relying on his astonishing perception, heard the final whisper of the ghost, and his expression became somewhat solemn.

"If the vast world truly leads to that other world, then is my transmigration also being secretly manipulated by some being?"

Then, Lin Feng thought of the peerless divine power inherited from the ancient Heavenly Emperor—One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones!

Such supernatural power is truly astonishing, as it allows one to cultivate two clones that are no weaker than oneself. It seems that only the ancient Heavenly Emperor possessed such a method in the entire world.

The more Lin Feng pondered, the more alarmed he became. In the end, he couldn't come up with an answer and could only suppress it for the time being.

"Heaven and Earth already know the location of Dan Yan and the others!"

Master Cang slowly stood up. In a short period of time, he had lost thousands of years of lifespan. Even as a Great Perfection Earthly Supreme, he felt weak.

With a flick of his finger, a massive light screen appeared in the sky, with several points of light flashing on it.

"There is a red dot that has reached below the floating continent, representing Xiao Lin, the son of Emperor Yan."

"The light representing Yan Jin and Lei Ying is located on the Tianluo Continent, while Lin Jinglei is in a strange space."

Master Cang hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"The ghosts and gods just whispered that the space where Lin Jinglei is located is a place where the thunder of the Great Thousand Worlds converges. They are creatures of the underworld and cannot approach it."

"Jing Lei is the manifestation of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder. Perhaps this is his opportunity. In the future, he will naturally return to the Heavenly Court."

Lin Feng exchanged a glance with Zi Yan and the others, then chuckled, "This little guy has quite the luck!"

"Young Master Lin Xu seems to be hiding his identity in the Hundred Spirits Continent, building a power with two junior cultivators."

"This little dragon cub, back in the Dou Qi Continent, I knew he wasn't one to stay quiet. Let him be, as long as nothing happens!"

Even so, Lin Feng and the others could hear that Zi Yan breathed a sigh of relief. The unruly inner court brute force king of yesteryear was now a mother!

"Your Majesty, regarding Dan Yan's condition."

When Dan Yan was mentioned, Master Cang hesitated again, unsure whether he should speak of it, because Dan Yan's condition was truly dire, and this was the cause of all this.

I'm afraid even the Heavenly Court wouldn't dare to offend them!

"Old Cang, just speak frankly!"

Seeing this, Lin Feng frowned slightly, realizing that things might not be so simple.

"Heavenly Emperor, please look at the light screen!"

Master Cang pointed, and the light screen in the sky changed again, revealing a small world that was constantly moving. Fortunately, the ghosts and gods had already locked onto it through mysterious means, so no matter how it changed, it could not escape Master Cang's control.

"raging!"

Within the light curtain, a colossal medicine cauldron, hundreds of thousands of feet in size, stood in the center of the world. Flames burned fiercely within the cauldron, seemingly a strange divine fire.

However, none of the people in the Heavenly Court, especially those who ascended from the Dou Qi Continent, paid any attention to it, because in the center of the cauldron, a massive pill, tens of thousands of feet in size, was rising and falling.

"Moo!"

This is the old green ox howling, huge tears dripping from its eyes. The ox, which has become somewhat senile, understands that its master, who is sometimes old and sometimes a child, is being cruelly refined.

"Where is this? Who imprisoned and refined Ancestor Dan Yan? Old Cang, tell me, and I will exterminate his entire clan!"

Lin Feng's tone was somewhat calm, but Zi Yan and the others knew that the anger in his heart was about to burst out of the sky.

"Elder Xuan and the others are on the Dou Qi Continent. If they receive this news, they probably won't be happy. Hopefully, it's not too late!"

"Yes, it's the Mokhagu tribe!"

After a moment's hesitation, Master Cang revealed the power that imprisoned and refined the Dan Yan: the Mo Ke Ancient Clan—the number one ancient clan in the Great Thousand World!

The publicly known Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign, Mo Ke Tian, ​​the patriarch of the Mo Ke Ancient Clan, is a mid-stage Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign, and there is also the Yin-Yang Bottle that has suppressed countless ages!

According to rumors, the ancient ancestor of the Mokha Ancient Clan who once competed with the Immortal Emperor for the eternal body seems to still be alive!

Given the Heavenly Court's current power, if it were to encounter the Mokha Ancient Clan, this...

"Junior Brother Xiao Yan, Brother Xiao Xuan, Brother Huang Quan, Brother Jing Lian."

Lin Feng slowly raised his head, looking at everyone present. He uttered names one by one, and after a long while, a ruthless look appeared on his face.

"Gentlemen, muster your strength! Follow me to storm the Mokha Ancient Clan and rescue Ancestor Danyan!"

"Hahaha, Senior Brother Lin Feng, that's exactly what I've been waiting for! What Mokha Ancient Clan? Anyone who dares to refine people from my Dou Qi Continent, kill them all!"

"The Mokhagu Clan? They've made great progress lately. I wonder if their Heavenly Sovereign can withstand my attack?"

"Last time we conquered the Western Continent, we merely went to loot the Western War Emperor's treasure trove. This time, it seems our Heavenly Army will have to show its true colors!"

"Born to fight, and to die for it, to die at the hands of the Mokhagu tribe would be an honor for me, Hu Hansan!"

Count me in!

"."

Upon seeing Lin Feng give the order, Huang Quan and the others suddenly unleashed an astonishing fighting spirit, as did the many armies of the Heavenly Court.

It seems that in their eyes, the Mokegu tribe, the largest ancient tribe, is like a clay chicken or a clay dog, easily crushed.

This scene left Master Cang dumbfounded. In his opinion, Dan Yan's refinement was a foregone conclusion, after all, the power of the Mo Ke Ancient Clan was truly too great!

"Very well, perhaps the reason I was willing to perform this forbidden technique that would shorten my lifespan for the Heavenly Emperor is because the Heavenly Emperor is so protective of his own."

"Only then can I entrust these foolish disciples to the Heavenly Emperor's care with peace of mind!"

Master Cang stroked his beard, a long-lost surge of passion boiling within his aged body. In that instant, it seemed as if his lost youth had reappeared within him.

"The number one ancient clan in the vast world? To be able to encounter such a super ancient clan before I die, I can say that my life has not been in vain!"

"Hahaha"
