Chapter 2858: Chapter 2834: Countermeasures

Seeing Lin Feng’s figure instantly disappear, everyone’s tense nerves finally relaxed. At this moment, they all had no other ideas and unanimously looked towards Murong Chuan. Murong Chuan had previously issued a challenge to Lin Feng, leaving them with no way out. At this time, they couldn’t afford not to unite with the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult—if they didn’t deal with Lin Feng’s Rising Dragon Hall, it would mean opposing the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm.

Song Cheng and Fan Yun exchanged a glance, both remaining silent. They recalled Lin Feng’s gaze before he left, feeling deeply guilty. After all, Lin Feng was their friend, and standing in this position made them very uncomfortable. However, Lin Feng was an Ascender, and this was a situation out of their control.

Fan Yun suddenly remembered Lin Feng mentioning Thunder Valley earlier, which was one of the unique locations in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm he had pointed out to Lin Feng. He hadn’t thought Lin Feng would establish a sect there. Also, although he hadn’t visited it himself, he’d heard that place was covered by lightning all year round. It seemed Lin Feng had far more cards up his sleeve than they had anticipated.

Murong Chuan looked at the unusually quiet crowd as if all were waiting for him to speak. He pondered for a moment and said to everyone, "If you have any objections, feel free to voice them."

He knew some among them were certainly unwilling to attack Lin Feng. Lin Feng’s strength was plain to see—a single Ascender could grow to such a level. If they did not kill him in time and allowed the Ascender sect to develop, their future would be unimaginable. As the leader of the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult, he had to do this.

Seeing Murong Chuan’s firm stance, everyone hung their heads without speaking. After a while, the Misty Sect’s Sect Master, the elder Supreme Taoist, said, "Can’t we deliberate more? We mustn’t act rashly. Lin Feng just wiped out the Demon Clan, which was a good deed for the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. We can’t repay his kindness with enmity so soon. What do you think..."

Everyone listening to the Supreme Taoist found his words very reasonable. Moreover, Lin Feng’s strength was beyond their reach. If Lin Feng could establish a sect under such circumstances, he was not afraid of their united crusade. They could not make a hasty decision on this issue.

"I think the same way. Besides, Lin Feng’s strength is truly incredible. If we attack now, it would bring us no benefit. Just Lin Feng’s statement proves that he is already prepared," Dong Ang of the Vanishing Immortal Palace added. He could see Lin Feng’s chosen cultivation path was different from everyone else’s, having such astounding strength at a young age. It’s hard to imagine how much the Ascender sect has developed now. If they just go and fight Lin Feng without first investigating, they might suffer losses.

"I oppose!" Cheng Fang was a militant supporter. He could see some were afraid of Lin Feng’s strength, but he feared not. Though Lin Feng had just saved everyone in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, Lin Feng was an Ascender, their enemy, and this stance could not change. He then respectfully addressed Murong Chuan, "Murong Sect Leader, I think we should cut to the chase. Lin Feng is so arrogant; he must have just established his sect and declared war on us all. So, his sect is not mature at this time, and the Ascenders’ strength doesn’t increase so quickly. If we wait, we’re giving them a chance."

Once these words were spoken, many strong individuals in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm nodded in agreement. They felt Cheng Fang was absolutely right, and though they had fought the Demon Clan for so long and were exhausted, this was also precisely the chaotic period following the establishment of the Ascender sect. If they didn’t attack now and waited for Lin Feng to be fully prepared, they would find it even harder to overthrow the Ascender sect.

Fan Yun and Jing Po watched the crowd continuously change their minds and sighed softly. They hadn’t said a word from start to finish. Fan Yun’s position was the most awkward; everyone in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm knew he had a good personal relationship with Lin Feng and even sent congratulatory gifts when the Holy Pill Pavilion was operating. Furthermore, Lin Feng indeed saved his two sons, and he could not repay kindness with enmity.

But he never expected Lin Feng to be an Ascender—even if Lin Feng were from the Demon Clan, he would have accepted it. But Lin Feng was an Ascender, and from beginning to end, the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm would not allow Ascenders to develop. However, at this critical moment, he couldn’t back down: if he were to oppose the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult, the Myriad Gods Tower would also find it hard to stand in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm in the future. At this juncture, his heart was in a state of extreme conflict, brows tightly knit, and he sincerely hoped someone could give him advice.

Jing Po, although he only met Lin Feng once, greatly admired him. However, under such circumstances, the Transcendence Pond would inevitably stand up. He shook his head, patted Fan Yun’s shoulder—knowing full well that everyone was helpless under these circumstances. When everything threatens the sect’s interests, all ties can be put aside.

"Let me say a word," Grandma Mingyue of the Brush Clothes Sect gently spoke to everyone. "I think the matter should first be reported to the Divine Emperor for his decision."

These words seemed to awaken those in the dreams, with everyone nodding in agreement. They believed the Divine Emperor would definitely appear in this situation, and this issue might be more serious than the Demon Clan’s invasion. Because Lin Feng’s strength had grown terrifying enough to defeat the Demon Clan, the enemy the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm faced now was far too powerful.

Hearing Grandma Mingyue’s words, Murong Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I am aware of the Divine Emperor’s attitude. Since I’ve already declared war on Lin Feng, it means I’ve made up my mind. In three months, at Thunder Valley, return to your sects and make preparations. If by then, I don’t see any sect..."

Despite these light words, there was no room for rebuttal. He was clear in his position: even if no other sect stood up, he would never allow Lin Feng’s Ascender sect to develop. The Myriad Heavens Divine Cult had labored so hard to be undefeated in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm and could not hand this position over. Even at the cost of his life, he would fight Lin Feng to the end.

Hearing Murong Chuan’s words, everyone exchanged glances, comprehending his meaning. If, three months later, any sect doesn’t show up, it will be against the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult—an ultimatum. If they don’t choose to confront, they align with Lin Feng. But if Lin Feng wins, the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm would become an Ascender world—would Lin Feng treat them kindly? Would he suppress them as they did to him? The thought of such a life was unimaginable for them.

"Willing to follow the Murong Sect Leader."

"Attack the Rising Dragon Hall!"

"We must not let the Ascender sect develop!"

...

Everyone was considering this, and the voices of agreement grew louder. They couldn’t imagine what their future would be if Lin Feng’s Rising Dragon Hall really triumphed, so they decided to unite with Murong Chuan against Lin Feng, caring not the consequences of this decision.

"Good!" Murong Chuan showed a rare smile and said to everyone, "Alright then, return to your sects and mobilize your forces. See you at Thunder Valley three months from now on the tenth day!"

Having said that, Murong Chuan led the Myriad Heavens Divine Cult followers towards the direction of the Holy City. Seeing Murong Chuan depart, everyone else also flew off toward their respective sects.

Above the clouds, within a hidden barrier, six elderly men with long beards had observed everything that had transpired below. They sipped tea, played chess, and chatted, as if the chaos of the world had nothing to do with them.

The Eternal God Emperor, donned in a pure white robe, holding a black chess piece, looked at the Jinyao God Emperor across from him and asked, "Do you think you can defeat him?"

"Haha, you mean Lin Feng?" Jinyao God Emperor placed a white piece down and hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "I don’t want to fight him."

He had witnessed the scene when Lin Feng defeated the Three Stars Demon General and knew he could never be Lin Feng’s match. He truly couldn’t fathom why the Eternal God Emperor was teasing him, though he truly admired Lin Feng’s strength. To achieve that level at just over thirty years of age was an unimaginable prospect!

"And you?" The Eternal God Emperor smiled with pursed lips, then turned his head towards the Fengyu God Emperor, who was observing the game.

"Fifty-fifty chance." Fengyu God Emperor extended five fingers, looking at the Eternal God Emperor seriously, saying. Though he had been observing Lin Feng’s techniques, he still couldn’t grasp what path Lin Feng was on. But with his current strength opposing Lin Feng, surely, he could at least hold his own?

Upon hearing this, the Eternal God Emperor snorted, then said, "You mention fifty-fifty; being three-seven would already be fantastic!"

A burst of laughter followed from everyone, noting Lin Feng’s extraordinary prowess. However, they truly could not understand how Lin Feng had grown so quickly. It was simply incredible. While they had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years to reach their current level, Lin Feng had only been in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm for less than twenty years—a cultivation speed surpassing theirs manyfold. Such talent was truly rare in the world.

"By the way, what’s your stance on the Ascender sect’s issue?" the Eye God Emperor queried the Eternal God Emperor with suspicion. While they were all Divine Emperors, these individuals remained reclusive, only the Eternal God Emperor being known to people. Thus, major decisions typically fell to him, while they focused on cultivation. They had been observing the battle with the Demon Clan, ready to intervene if the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm faced true crisis. But unexpectedly, Lin Feng stepped up to help, allowing them to merely watch silently from above. Only when they heard Lin Feng’s words did they understand his true intentions.

"Let’s follow the mentor’s stance; we should all intervene, allowing Lin Feng to grow," the Eternal God Emperor placed the final chess piece, smiled at the Jinyao God Emperor, and said, "I won!"

Jinyao God Emperor, shaking his head helplessly, gazed at the encircled white pieces and sighed, "The task the mentor set is really strange. After choosing Lin Feng, why still arrange for our presence to suppress?"
