Chapter 1180 - 1205: Return to the Immortal Realm

Lin Feng stayed in the Netherworld for another three days, during which Chu Xiao also tried absorbing energy from the Immortal Stones and found he could. Among the six, only Princess Yiyi could not absorb the energy, which left her a bit disheartened.

However, Lin Feng felt even more frustrated. Not being able to absorb the energy from the Immortal Stones meant she couldn’t ascend to the Immortal Realm. He might have to return to the Netherworld to find her in the future, which would be extremely troublesome. Moreover, he was unaware of the dangers in the Netherworld, and any unexpected mishaps couldn’t be predicted.

"It’s time to leave this place. I know my departure is another kind of hurt for you, but it is inevitable. You should understand my difficulties. If you truly want to reunite with me sooner, then work hard. Ascend to the Immortal Realm as soon as possible, and you’ll be able to see me," Lin Feng said.

"Lin Feng, we will work hard, rest assured. Your special visit to see us already makes us very happy. Only the reunion after parting can bring surprises. You should go!" Zhang Lijuan said.

Despite her words, the expression on her face was one of great reluctance and loss. Lin Feng saw all this but there was nothing he could do.

Kong Feifei and Princess Yiyi, as well as Chu Lian, all wore the same expressions of unwillingness. However, Lin Feng wasn’t someone who would hesitantly delay, so he decisively flashed into the sky.

During these three days, he had thoroughly satisfied the three women. If it were possible, they might even have another son or daughter. But Lin Feng wouldn’t let such things happen again.

Once in the sky, Lin Feng directly used the Heart Sword to tear open the space. Now breaking through the spatial boundaries of the Netherworld was quite easy for him, unlike before when he needed the combined strength of the Four Holy Beasts.

After tearing it open, he directly entered the spatial tunnel, fearing that if he hesitated, he would linger, delaying a significant amount of time.

Watching Lin Feng’s disappearing figure, Zhang Lijuan said, "Let’s all go back. Lin Feng must be feeling bad too. Let’s all strive to enhance our strength and try to ascend sooner."

Kong Feifei and Princess Yiyi, along with two others, stayed for another day before leaving, determined to work hard on their cultivation for a future reunion with Lin Feng.

Lin Feng returned to the Canglan Ancient Land but didn’t head directly back to the Green Frost Sect. Instead, he went to the Celestial Dragon Empire. After all, his parents were still there, and he couldn’t forget them; that would be too unfilial.

With his speed, reaching the Celestial Dragon Empire was easy. It took him less than an hour to arrive directly at Yuwen Qingkong’s mansion. Now Yuwen Qingkong was the father of three children, thanks to Chu Linyue, who had given him two sons and a daughter.

Meeting Chu Yuanba and Tang Xinlan, Lin Feng gave them some Immortal Stones and also shared some basic cultivation techniques. Yuwen Qingkong and Chu Linyue were the same. After staying two days in the Celestial Dragon Empire, Lin Feng returned to the Green Frost Sect.

This time’s lower realm task was almost complete, and Lin Feng also wanted to leave. After all, the Cyan Frost Emperor Palace in the Immortal Realm still needed him. It was unclear when the Immortal Beasts and the Demon Realm would strike against the Immortal Realm, so he couldn’t sit idly by.

Returning to the Green Frost Sect, Lin Feng fed all the women before directly restoring his suppressed strength, openly ascending to the Immortal Realm in front of everyone. When Lin Feng’s strength returned, the overwhelming pressure left everyone breathless.

Lin Feng quickly arrived at the Ascension Pool. The four people guarding the pool immediately came forward when they saw him, respectfully saying, "Greetings, Palace Master Chu!"

"Not long ago, my daughter ascended. Where is she now?" Lin Feng asked directly.

"The Young Palace Master has been sent to the Cyan Frost Emperor Palace. Please rest assured, Palace Master Chu, everything is fine!" said the middle-aged man of Immortal Emperor Realm.

"Good, good! Soon, others will also be ascending, so please take care of them. Our palace will not mistreat you. Now, I have matters to attend to, so I won’t linger!" Lin Feng said.

Immediately, he summoned the Golden Demon Vulture from his body. "Farewell, Palace Master Chu!" the four said in unison as Lin Feng sat on the Golden Demon Vulture, a golden light flashed, and he disappeared before them.

Lin Feng went straight back to the Cyan Frost Emperor Palace. After almost a month of absence, he was curious about Flame Immortal Monarch and their recruitment of Immortal Monarchs and Nine Heavens Profound Immortals, as this was crucial to the future victory in the Immortal Beasts and Immortal Demon War, so carelessness was not an option.

Upon returning to the Cyan Frost Emperor Palace, he went directly into the grand hall, where many people had already gathered. Many of them were strangers to Lin Feng, probably those recruited, with the weakest among them at the Early-stage Immortal Monarch realm.

Seeing Lin Feng return, everyone stood up. Chu Chenlin approached Lin Feng directly, "Father, you’re finally back. Lin’er was almost driven mad by these guys. Many of them don’t wish to stay here and are planning how to leave."

"I understand, father will handle it," Lin Feng smiled and then went to the head of the hall and sat down. Chu Chenlin sat beside him. In Lin Feng’s absence, she had been sitting in his current seat.

Although many felt a bit indignant, Chu Chenlin’s status left them no choice but to swallow their resentment in silence.

Lin Feng observed the hall, seeing around a hundred people, he smiled and said, "I heard from Lin’er that you wish to leave here and not follow my arrangements. Is this true?"

His tone was gentle without a hint of anger. The crowd looked at Lin Feng, many surprised at seeing the young-looking Palace Master of the Cyan Frost Emperor Palace for the first time.

"What gives you the right to force us into your special army to fight against the Immortal Beasts? We have our freedom. You have no authority to interfere with us," said a Mid-stage Immortal Monarch man, with a look of disdain on his face.

Lin Feng glanced at the man, saying, "Very well, speaking to this Palace Master in such a manner. Who else wishes to leave the Cyan Frost Emperor Palace and refuses to join my special squad? Step forward. I want to see who is willing to follow me."

His tone remained benign and ambiguous, unclear if he was angry or indifferent.

The crowd began to murmur, and immediately over ten people stepped forward, expressing their unwillingness to join.

"Is there anyone else unwilling? This is a rare chance. If I change my mind later, you won’t get another opportunity, so think carefully," Lin Feng laughed.

After another few breaths, seven or eight more stood up, totaling nineteen people unwilling to join, each with a disdainful expression.

"No one else? Very well. Why are you unwilling to join? Do you think this Palace Master is too young to lead you, or do you believe the Cyan Frost Emperor Palace is too small to accommodate you great figures?" Lin Feng asked.

"What makes you fit to rule over us? Who do you think you are? Were it not for the connections between Emperor Wu Spirit Realm and Heartless Sword Tomb, you’d hardly qualify as the Cyan Frost Emperor Palace’s master. Naturally, we don’t accept this," said another middle-aged man, his Late Stage Immortal Monarch strength evident.

"Is this what you all think?" Lin Feng asked once more.
