Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

"The Blue Wolf brand?"

Rays of light rose from the horizon, eventually transforming into a cyan token with a ferocious wolf's head on it, representing the potential of the examinee.

"Wolf, Eagle, Dragon, Jiaolong!"

Lin Feng and Zi Yan remained silent in the crowd, unremarkable, and no one noticed them as they listened to a passerby's introduction.

"These four types of plaques represent the disciple ranks of this ancient celestial palace; they are symbols of status!"

Just then, Lin Feng suddenly noticed that what he was holding in his hand was the secret map of the ancient heavenly palace that the scalper outside the ruins was selling.

However, if Lin Feng remembered correctly, the one who paid ten million Supreme Spirit Liquid was not this ordinary passerby.

"Looks like that guy's already been killed!"

"White, cyan, and gold—these three colors distinguish the different levels of the same token. Therefore, the status of disciples of the Ancient Heavenly Palace was divided into twelve levels in total!"

The passerby, unaware of Lin Feng's inner thoughts, continued to talk incessantly. Although the surrounding crowd knew that his method of obtaining the map was dishonorable, they did not care.

"In the ancient Heavenly Palace, only those with the Dragon Token were truly valued disciples and received genuine inheritance!"

"There are tricks to assessing disciples' levels, but if you want to know what happens next, hehe, that'll have to come at a different price!"

The passerby chuckled, causing the surrounding crowd to frown. Then, several noblemen, including princes and noblemen, nodded to their followers.

The henchmen understood their master's meaning and stepped forward, each handing over one million Supreme Spirit Liquids. Seeing this, the others could only helplessly hand over some Supreme Spirit Liquids or valuable spiritual items.

It wasn't that they wanted to give it to him; it was just that this passerby possessed a miraculous escape technique that even the top experts in the area couldn't catch up with.

The secrets of the ancient heavenly palace were clearly recorded on the map, but unfortunately, this supreme spiritual liquid had no choice but to be given away.

Fortunately, this passerby knew that although he possessed miraculous escape techniques, he couldn't afford to offend the powerful forces behind these young noblemen, and the spiritual liquid he collected was within the bottom line in everyone's minds.

This is why everyone was willing to compromise; after receiving the benefits, the passerby spoke up.

"The ancient Heavenly Palace's assessment was based on the examinee's cultivation level."

This person spoke eloquently, and before long, he had explained all the key points of the assessment. Many young masters and princes nodded in agreement, realizing that the Supreme Spirit Liquid was well worth the money.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, another divine light flashed across the horizon, this time in gold.

"Damn it, it's the Golden Dragon Token! Who is this person, so terrifying?"

The Golden Dragon Token is an extremely prestigious item in the ancient Heavenly Palace disciples' assessments. Even princes and nobles might not be confident of obtaining such an evaluation.

"Gentlemen, opportunities are first-come, first-served. I, Shangguan, will go first!"

"Walk!"

After bowing to the people around him, a young nobleman immediately spoke to his attendants before stepping into the Dragon Gate.

"I, Tuoba Wudi, couldn't wait any longer. After countless years of arduous training, today, the Golden Dragon Token is destined to be mine!"

"I, Yuan Batian, am no less formidable!"

"Am I, Zhuge Xuanqi, inferior to others again?"

"."

One by one, the noble young men and princes spoke up, and then quickly flew into the Dragon Gate to achieve a good result.

"Mu Chen, let's go!"

"Um!"

"Little Fengzi, what level of disciple do you think we would be if we entered the Dragon Gate?"

Looking at the massive Dragon Gate, Zi Yan asked with some curiosity.

Apart from the assessment she witnessed at Canaan Academy, she had never seen anything so interesting since, whether in Zhongzhou or after ascending to the Great Thousand World and establishing the Heavenly Court.

"Zi Yan, given our current cultivation levels, I fear that the moment we enter the Dragon Gate, this rather decent sacred artifact will immediately explode!"

"Indeed, a magical artifact capable of supporting a Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme's assessment probably doesn't exist in the entire Great Thousand World!"

Zi Yan smiled brightly, then looked into the Dragon Gate, her eyes flashing with the phantom images of dragons and phoenixes. She looked directly into the Dragon Gate and saw many figures taking the test.

"The full moon's Dharma body, with its pure moonlight, illuminates the entire universe!"

During an assessment, a woman with silver hair gave a soft shout, and behind her, a huge jade plate slowly rose up, blasting the two stone shadows of the same level opposite her into fragments.

"Oh, Xiaofengzi, look! This little brat looks just like Han Xue, the sister who's been trying to seduce you all these years!"

Suddenly, Zi Yan exclaimed, but the content of her words made Lin Feng's mouth twitch, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Zi Yan, it's like that, but what do you mean by seducing? I've never taken the initiative!"

"hey-hey!"

Zi Yan chuckled, a sly glint in her eyes, but she ignored Lin Feng's meaning and looked away instead.

"Wind spirit, listen to the rhythm of the wind; when the gale comes, go!"

A gentle voice rang out, and Zi Yan looked in the direction of the voice. When she saw the figure, her pupils immediately contracted sharply.

"This is bad!"

"Lin Feng, look at this sophisticated older sister, doesn't she resemble Yun Yun, the Flower Sect Master who's been trying to seduce you lately?"

After Zi Yan finished speaking, she immediately covered her mouth and shrank her shoulders, about to walk away, but Lin Feng grabbed her.

"Zi Yan, are you addicted to this? Besides, this is clearly Yun Yun, what do you mean by similar?"

"Furthermore, my interactions with her were merely discussions about some key points of supernatural powers. She is also a member of the Heavenly Court. Is that not permissible?"

"Tch, it's just that kind of thing between men and women, you're overreacting!"

After being grabbed by the shoulder, Zi Yan seemed to have given up and pouted, saying with a hint of disdain.

"Forehead"

"I knew I shouldn't have brought you along!"

Hehehe!

"But Miss Ziyan is already out. With me here, those mistresses won't be able to get into the Lin family unless, hehehe, they make me their eldest sister!"

Lin Feng stumbled and almost fell. What kind of twisted logic is this? Is he really that easy to bribe?

And that's not the point!

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, three golden beams shot into the sky and transformed into a golden dragon. Lin Feng put Zi Yan down, looked at the figure under the three golden beams, and slowly nodded in approval.

"Indeed, Golden Dragon disciple, if he doesn't die young, he will at least become a Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign in the future. If he has enough opportunities, he might even be able to try to break through to the Heavenly Sovereign realm!"

"It seems that someone like the Fourth Palace Master was once a disciple of the Golden Dragon Sect!"

"Boom!"

Just then, another golden light shot into the sky, transforming into a huge golden dragon that circled the heavens, and finally turned into a golden dragon token that fell into the hand of a young figure.

"It's that kid named Mu Chen, the one you've been paying close attention to. I didn't expect him to have so much potential!"

Zi Yan looked closely and saw Mu Chen's face through the golden light.

"Being a Golden Dragon disciple is merely his current limit. This young Mu Chen's future achievements will not be inferior to yours!"

"Moreover, he and you have a somewhat special relationship!"

"With me? What could this little guy possibly have to do with Aunt Ziyan?"

Zi Yan was somewhat confused. She had been in the Great Thousand Worlds for so long, but she had not left any legacy anywhere. How could she be related to Mu Chen?

"Zi Yan, I didn't expect you to be so smart!"

Lin Feng did not answer directly, but instead looked at her with a surprised expression, which made Zi Yan feel quite strange.

Is this a compliment or an insult implying she's not very smart? She, Miss Ziyan, was once the queen of a clan, although the specific affairs were handled by Elder Qingshan.

"Xiao Fengzi, hurry up and tell me, stop with the riddles."

"I've already said it, just as you said, you are this little guy's great-aunt."

"What do you mean?"

"This little guy calls our son Xuwei 'Uncle,' but doesn't he call you 'Grandma'?"

Lin Feng slowly recounted the relationship between Lin Xu and Mu Chen. Ironically, Zi Yan, despite being a mother, still had a careless nature.

When Lin Xu, his precious treasure, went missing, he was more anxious than anyone else. However, after learning from Lin Feng that Lin Xu was alright, he never asked about it again.

Even now, she still doesn't know what has happened to her precious son over the past few decades, and naturally, she doesn't know about people like Mu Feng and Mu Chen.

"So that's how it is. I've really become a great-aunt? How amusing. In that case, I'll have to take good care of this little Mu Chen!"

"Grandma" had always been just a catchphrase for Zi Yan, but now it had become her true identity, giving Zi Yan a strange feeling.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is my first novel. (Reading)

"but,"

Zi Yan pouted, "This little Mu Chen is still a bit too big. If he were a little younger, I could let him go through the tempering of a super divine beast."

"Only in this way can we cultivate true powerhouses. Xiao Yan and Xun'er's son, Xiao Lin, is simply too weak and frail!"

In the distance, Mu Chen, who was studying the Golden Dragon Token in his hand, suddenly trembled. For some reason, the memory of being tricked by his beloved Uncle Xu into various extreme training sessions when he was a child came flooding back to him.

"What's going on? Is Uncle Xu going to lie to me about the Overlord Body again?"

Indeed, Mu Chen, who has grown into a generation of Shepherd King of the Great Luo Heaven Domain, has had many experiences and has long understood that there is no such thing as a Hegemon Body in this Great Thousand World.

However, his childhood experiences did indeed make him far stronger than those of the same level.

Clenching his fist, Mu Chen began to assess his own combat strength.

"Unfortunately, this is all there is to the assessment within the Dragon Gate. Becoming a Golden Dragon Disciple is merely the limit for ordinary people, not my limit!"

"With my current strength, although I am only at the ninth-grade Supreme realm, most lower-level Earthly Supremes are no match for me!"

"Perhaps this is the true meaning of a supreme physique—invincible within the same realm, and even capable of fighting opponents of higher levels!"

Thinking of this, the image of his beloved Uncle Xu suddenly appeared in Mu Chen's mind, but he was surprised to find that he still could not see Lin Xu's true strength.

"Uncle Xu, could it be a Supreme Realm expert at the Great Perfection stage?"

"No, I've also seen Great Perfection Earthly Supreme experts. The Fourth Palace Master is an expert of that level, and he's even halfway into the Heavenly Supreme realm!"

"I can still sense something about such a powerful person, but Uncle Xu still seems unfathomable to me."

"Could it be that Uncle Xu is a true Heavenly Sovereign level expert?"

"If that's really the case, then what kind of terrifying existence must his father, that senior named Lin Feng who likes to act young, be?"

In Mu Chen's mind, Lin Feng was a senior, but his skin was indeed more delicate than Luo Li's, and his temperament was more dashing than his. What else could this be but pretending to be young?

"In this vast world, is there a super ancient clan or super power called the Lin family?"

It's not that Mu Chen was ignorant. Although he was the true crown prince of the Futu Ancient Clan, he had been separated from his mother since childhood because of the Futu Ancient Clan.

Besides, the strongest person he had ever met was Lin Xu, but Lin Xu naturally wouldn't tell Mu Chen such a thing.

Some things, if you're not at the right level, can be harmful if you come into contact with them. A powerful person who is far beyond your own level could put Mu Chen in danger with any action.

Therefore, Lin Xu did not tell Mu Chen about the situation in the vast world, but waited for him to gradually grow and discover the truth of the world on his own.

Of course, Lin Xu would never let Mu Chen know, which was also because he had never returned to the Heavenly Court and knew very little about the Great Thousand World.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, to the astonishment of countless powerful figures, another golden light shot into the sky, transforming into a golden dragon that roared and circled the heavens.

Clearly, this is yet another disciple with the Golden Dragon badge!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! I, Yuan Batian, am a disciple of the Golden Wolf Sect. How could anyone surpass me by so much?"

Yuan Batian looked at the disciples with golden dragon badges appearing one after another and roared in disbelief. At this moment, he was already somewhat depressed and regretted coming to the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum.

Otherwise, he could continue to stay in his comfort zone. What opportunities could a Golden Wolf Disciple possibly obtain? He might as well go home and inherit the position of head of the Yuan family!

"Brother Batian, you should be content!"

"Your token, at least it's a bit gold. I'm even a grade lower than you. Ugh, how embarrassing."

Zhuge Xuanqi looked at the Azure Wolf Token in his hand and felt ashamed to death. He had five disciples with Golden Dragon Tokens. What should he do when he returned to his clan?

"You two actually have badges? I, Tuoba Wudi, refuse to accept this! Why don't I have one? Am I really inferior to you?"

Just then, an even more unbelievable voice rang out, and Tuoba Wudi appeared in front of the two. Seeing that his hands were empty, Yuan Batian and Zhuge Xuanqi exchanged a glance.

"Fortunately, it seems we two still have potential!"

Without comparison, there is no harm. On the contrary, seeing that Tuoba Wudi had such a resounding name, yet couldn't even get a single White Wolf Token, Zhuge Xuanqi and his companion felt somewhat comforted.

"Fine, I'll just go home and inherit the family business. That's the invincible path for me, Tuoba Wudi!"

"This silly child!"

"Doesn't he know that the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum holds both great opportunities and great dangers?"

"Yes, the great danger comes not only from the terrifying array within the ruins, but also from the treacherous individuals traveling with us, and beyond that, from our own families!"

Zhuge Xuanqi and Yuan Batian exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. At this moment, they even had a feeling of mutual appreciation and thought of becoming sworn brothers.

"He couldn't even get the White Wolf Token to ascend the Dragon Gate. The ancient Heavenly Emperor deemed him a piece of trash with no potential to become a Supreme Earthly Being. Now that he's back in the family, Brother Tuoba will likely never be the heir again!"

"Yes, from now on, we have lost another fellow Daoist who went to the Myriad Wonders Pavilion with us. It's truly a pity!"

"."

Countless lights flashed, and white, blue, and gold light streams passed through the protective array of the ancient heavenly palace. Only disciples who were deemed by the Dragon Gate to have at least the potential to become Earthly Sovereigns were qualified to enter the interior of the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum.

Of course, if your strength surpasses that of the Heavenly Emperor, then you can naturally ignore the Heavenly Emperor's arrangements and enter the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum directly.

And coincidentally, at this very moment, there were these two figures in the ancient heavenly palace.

"Returning to a familiar place brings a different perspective and a different understanding of life, leaving me with a sense of nostalgia."

Lin Feng followed the countless streams of light into this place, and looking at the familiar scene, he couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

When he first entered the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Supreme Realm, he gained extremely high control over space. When he entered this place, he was very cautious.

After all, the ancient Heavenly Emperor was a terrifyingly powerful figure who had cultivated to the late stage of the Saintly Heavenly Supreme and had also cultivated the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones to the second level.

If it weren't for his bad luck in encountering the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, he could have even merged with the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, becoming the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor, whose power was not much inferior to that of the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor.

After 50,000 years of cultivation, the ancient Heavenly Emperor has probably reached the threshold of the half-step Dominator realm.

"Hahaha"

Just then, a hearty laugh rang out. Lin Feng looked up and saw a pair of enormous fiery magma hands reaching out and grabbing a jade fan that emitted a fierce wind from the heavens.

"As expected of a Heavenly Sovereign destined by Heaven, I merely strolled around and found a helpless sacred object. Thank you for the bounty of this vast world!"

"How dare you!"

"Who dares to sneak around like this? Take this 'Great Vajra Finger' strike!"

Mu Chen's furious voice rang out. He pointed a finger, and a massive Vajra finger, a thousand feet in size, appeared and slammed fiercely towards the owner of the magma hand.

When the Fourth Palace Master was resurrected, Mu Chen was imprinted by Lin Feng's finger, and his consciousness entered countless reincarnations. In each life, it was because of his indecisiveness that his relatives and friends died tragically.

From that moment on, he understood that the enemy must be completely wiped out!

At this moment, after painstakingly subduing the Wind God Fan, Mu Chen was about to put it into his possession when someone intercepted it halfway. How could Mu Chen not be furious?

The terrifying Vajra Giant Finger instantly shattered the magma hand, and even its master was forced to dodge in a sorry state. Mu Chen, who had been trained by Lin Xu's Overlord Body Technique, was far stronger than his peers.

"This is going to be good!"

Just then, two mysterious figures arrived, hidden in the dimensional space. They looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
