Chapter 1284 - 1281: Confidence, Luo Feng’s Realm

Purple Cloud Island.

Purple Cloud Island is a deserted island a hundred miles west of Linglong Hall. Since Linglong Hall does not allow any men to enter, this place has become the reception point for Linglong’s guests, and all grand events of Linglong Hall are held here.

Luo Feng and Jiang Fengfeng utilized their Qinggong and soon arrived above Purple Cloud Island.

On Purple Cloud Island, mountain peaks stretched endlessly, covered with swathes of purple trees. From above, all the peaks formed a circular valley, with light mist hovering around the island’s peaks. When the sky light hit, it emitted a faint purple glow, creating a unique charm.

"So many people."

Gazing at Purple Cloud Island from afar, Luo Feng was a bit surprised.

At this moment, the circular valley was densely packed with people, with more continuously arriving from all directions. Although it couldn’t compare to the New Dragon List Conference, it was still very prosperous.

Swoosh!

At this moment, a brilliant sword light cut through the sky.

"Come over."

Seeing the sword light, Jiang Fengfeng’s beautiful eyes lit up slightly. With a wave of her jade hand, she grasped the sword light.

"Luo Feng, my senior sister has arrived. I’ll go find her first."

Jiang Fengfeng glanced at the sword light and then looked up at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng nodded, joking, "Aren’t you worried I’ll just leave with the Sword Heart Heaven Jade?"

"Hmph, you wouldn’t dare!"

Jiang Fengfeng raised her attractive eyebrows, took a few steps, and suddenly turned back, saying, "Make sure not to lose too badly."

After speaking, Jiang Fengfeng slipped away into the island.

Shaking his head, Luo Feng also shot toward the valley entrance.

"Husband."

Before he got close to Purple Cloud Island, a tall and alluring figure approached him. It was Yang Wanyi.

Yang Wanyi stopped three steps in front of Luo Feng, her eyes on him, her tempting red lips opening slightly, "Why are you just arriving now?"

Luo Feng said, "Something came up on the way that delayed me a bit."

"Such an important event, yet you weren’t concerned."

Yang Wanyi cast a sidelong glance at Luo Feng, each smile and frown exuding infinite allure, and suddenly smiled, "And I haven’t yet congratulated you on becoming the Hidden Dragon Marquis."

Luo Feng touched his nose, "News travels fast."

"Naturally."

Yang Wanyi’s face held a faint smile as she said, "Not to mention you helped the Second Prince replace the Crown Prince on the throne, just defeating Lu Xiao Yun is no small feat. A few days ago, the entire Golden Palace was discussing you, this senior disciple."

Luo Feng smiled faintly, looking at Yang Wanyi, his eyebrow arching, "Waner, have you broken into the True Yuan Realm?"

"I broke through after the New Dragon List Conference. In a few days, I should reach the pinnacle of the first level of the True Yuan Realm."

Yang Wanyi nodded, a hint of joy in her eyes.

On Group Dragon Island, after undergoing Dragon Vein Refining Body, she was on the verge of breakthrough. Upon returning to Linglong Hall, she had been in seclusion cultivating. With the assistance of the ancient Ferocious Fire ’Emperor Heart Sky-Burning Flame,’ she’s now in the late stage of the first level of the True Yuan Realm.

Luo Feng was surprised; Yang Wanyi’s progress was faster than he had imagined.

"What about you? Any progress during this time?"

Yang Wanyi looked curiously at Luo Feng. She thought that breaking through to the late stage of the first level of the True Yuan Realm would narrow the gap between them, but she found that she still couldn’t discern Luo Feng’s cultivation level.

"I just broke through to the late stage of the third level of the True Yuan Realm."

"Late stage of the third level of the True Yuan Realm!"

Yang Wanyi halted, staring blankly at Luo Feng.

From the second level to the late stage of the third level of the True Yuan Realm, even given three to five years, an ordinary person might not succeed. Even though she possesses the ancient Ferocious Fire Emperor Heart Sky-Burning Flame, she found it somewhat incredible.

At this moment, Yang Wanyi felt an inexplicable sense of relief for choosing to risk refining the Emperor Heart Sky-Burning Flame.

"Let’s go. The second Hall Master and the others are surely impatient by now."

Slightly calming her thoughts, Yang Wanyi spoke.

"Okay."

As they spoke, the two landed on the island and walked together toward the circular valley.

"Look, it’s Yang Wanyi from Linglong Hall. The young man beside her should be Luo Feng, the first New Dragon of the Six Southern Domains."

Luo Feng, with his restrained sharpness, exuded an ethereal air, and Yang Wanyi, with her unmatched beauty and elegant demeanor, seemed to glow slightly, drawing attention wherever she went. As soon as they appeared at the valley entrance, they attracted numerous gazes.

The young talents, noting Luo Feng, felt a mix of jealousy and admiration. Besides envying Luo Feng for being able to share laughter and glances with such a beauty as Yang Wanyi, they were also envious of his talent and strength.

In the circular valley, the area was expansive, with a colossal platform in the center nearly ten feet high, surrounded by flowing water. The vast water surface shimmered as smoke clouds rose, and around the valley, seating areas were specially modified for spectators. Even with ten thousand people gathered, it didn’t feel crowded.

Many independent VIP seats were constructed on the flat ground between the platform and the spectator seating. Seated there were not only the high-ranking officials of the Twelve Golden Palaces but also distinguished guests and nobility from all directions.

"Haha... Shui Linglong, it’s been a year, and you’ve grown quite a bit. No longer the little girl you once were."

In the corner of the VIP section, a middle-aged man with a fiery complexion and a lion-like face approached Shui Linglong’s seat, letting out a booming laugh.

Detecting the condescension in his words, Shui Linglong’s beautiful eyes flickered as she chuckled, "Hall Master Shi seems unchanged. I could hear your booming voice from ten miles away."

The red-faced man, named Shi Lietian, was the Hall Master of the Thundercloud Hall, the head of the Six Northern Domains’ Six Great Golden Palaces.

Due to his cultivation method, Shi Lietian’s blood was vibrant, and his complexion always seemed ablaze with fire, earning him the nickname Fire Lion on the martial arts arena. His temperament matched the name: fiery, domineering, and fond of showing off, always aiming to be the best.

Of course, he wasn’t simply arrogant. His strength was unfathomable, and among the Twelve Golden Palaces, he rarely met an equal, except for Shui Qingcheng.

"Such a sharp tongue."

Shi Lietian laughed heartily, suddenly saying, "Shui Linglong, I heard you took in a genius disciple who became the first New Dragon in just six months within the Golden Palace. Let Luo Feng come out and let me see how he compares to our Thundercloud Hall’s Cao Li, making you willing to break Linglong Hall’s centuries-old tradition of only admitting female disciples."

Shui Linglong remained unfazed, "Luo Feng is not here right now, but you’ll certainly see him at the gathering. However..."

With a change in tone, Shui Linglong smiled, "Cao Li may be a bit lacking compared to Luo Feng."

"Oh? It seems you’re quite confident."

Shi Lietian raised his thick eyebrows, suddenly saying, "Cao Li, come over."

Footsteps sounded as a stern young man in a black outfit, with eight short spears on his back and spiky short hair, walked out. He stopped in front of Shi Lietian, saluting respectfully, "Hall Master."

Looking at Cao Li, Shi Lietian’s face showed a hint of pride, "Cao Li, tell Water Hall Master what your current realm is."

Cao Li looked a bit embarrassed. He didn’t like such meaningless comparisons but knew Shi Lietian enjoyed showing off, so he said:

"Three days ago, I just broke through to the third level of the True Yuan Realm."

"Third level of the True Yuan Realm."

Shi Lietian grinned, his gaze shifting to Shui Linglong, "Shui Linglong, I wonder what realm Luo Feng is in now?"
