Chapter 104: Moon in the Sky, Heart’s Desire!
Yan Changkong felt a bit awkward, but Lin Feng didn’t mind. In the entire Azure Prefecture South Region, who didn’t know he was a business whiz?
What could he do? The sect was in the dumps.
Apart from raking in cash and gathering resources at any cost, how could they talk about development?
Behind him, the new disciples were barely suppressing their laughter, almost bursting out loud.
At the same time, their gazes at Lin Feng had changed, thinking this guy had some serious guts.
Who was Yan Changkong right now?
Among the many sects in the Azure Prefecture South Region, although they weren’t the strongest, they definitely carried some clout; even those who saw him would have to show some respect.
After all, he had at least three emperors backing him. Who wouldn’t be scared of that?!
Yan Changkong chuckled awkwardly and said, “You must be joking, my friend.”
He looked at Lin Feng, momentarily unsure of his feelings.
The Grand Elder Chen Xiu had seen Lin Feng in the battle in the Heavenly Storm Realm, but the guy had been seriously injured and was currently in seclusion, healing up.
Until then, Lin Feng’s portrait wouldn’t be painted; adjustments would have to wait.
So, until now, Yan Changkong hadn’t seen the real face of Lin Feng.
How could he have imagined that the person in front of him was Lin Feng himself?
Lin Feng smiled for a moment, dropping the act and casually said, “You must be the current sect leader, Yan Changkong, right?”
“I’ve heard of you from Ye Xi, quite interesting. No need to bow to a statue; I’m Lin Feng!”
As his calm words settled, it was like thunder striking the ground in everyone’s ears.
Everyone stood there dumbfounded, wide-eyed at the young man before them; Yan Changkong’s pupils shrank in shock.
The legendary fight in the Heavenly Storm Realm, where Lin Feng had emerged and decisively suppressed all, sweeping through the remnants of other immortals, was starting to spread.
The Xuanqing Sect got the news at lightning speed…
Although Yan Changkong had an inkling that Lin Feng might drop by the sect someday for a nostalgic visit, it was still a shock that it happened so suddenly!
Once he regained his composure, Yan Changkong fell to his knees with a loud thud, excitedly declaring, “I, Yan Changkong, the 1,878th sect leader of Xuanqing Sect, pay my respects to Elder Lin Feng!”
His voice echoed out, waking the other disciples from their stupor.
Excited and ecstatic, they quickly all dropped to their knees.
Let’s be real, not just in Xuanqing Sect, but throughout the entire cultivation world, the Eternal Emperor Lin Feng was revered and worshipped by countless cultivators!
“Disciples pay their respects to Elder Lin Feng!”
Lin Feng hailed from Xuanqing Sect, so it was only natural for the disciples to pay their respects.
In this world of cultivators, there’s a certain sentimental attachment to one’s sect, especially the first one they join.
No matter how strong their ultimate realm or prowess ends up, their sect will always be the starting point of their cultivation journey.
It holds special significance.
And for Lin Feng, it was the same.
Even as a transmigrator, back during his time in the sect, his master and seniors cared for him deeply.
Not only did they guide him in cultivation, but they also went through countless trials together, teaching him the rules of survival in the world of cultivation.
Several brushes with d*ath were also weathered under the protection of the sect.
This created an emotional bond Lin Feng held for Xuanqing Sect.
This sentiment…
Was nothing like the typical backstabbing and scheming depicted in the novels he read before crossing over.
Of course, there were rivalries and intrigues within a sect, but that was merely a tiny fraction. If internal strife truly ran rampant, the sect would have long been wiped out by the merciless cultivation world.
It was impossible for it to carry on.
Now, even though things weren’t the same, the legacy still remained.
He survived, grew stronger, and truly became the Ancestor of the sect.
“Enough!”
“Everyone, get up!”
Lin Feng looked at Yan Changkong and chuckled, “Since you’re the current sect leader, you don’t need to be so formal. I’m just here to take a look.”
Yan Changkong stood up, his expression serious, “As sect leader, I am still a younger generation and it is only right to pay respect to the ancestor.”
The other disciples also got up as their gazes focused on Lin Feng, filled with awe.
To them, Ancestor Lin Feng didn’t quite match their expectations; he lacked that overbearing demeanor, seeming rather approachable.
Yan Changkong spoke, “Ancestor, you must stay for several days; I’ll make arrangements right away…”
“No need!”
Lin Feng sighed, wishing he could stay, but time was not on his side.
He had to seize every second.
Lin Feng paused and continued, “You should be aware of the events unfolding in the Heavenly Storm Realm.”
“That’s just the tip of the iceberg.”
“Even what we see in the Celestial Realm may not necessarily be the truth; there may be an even stronger force controlling everything!”
Since he was already at it, he felt it was time for Xuanqing Sect to get some intel and make preparations.
No need to keep things under wraps like before.
Yan Changkong’s expression shifted in shock; the Celestial Realm might not even be real?
Where did the real one even go?
And there was a greater force manipulating everything? Even the Celestial Realm was just a puppet? What kind of terrifying power could that be?!
What was it truly?!
He couldn’t fathom!
Furthermore, how did Ancestor Lin Feng know all of this?
Yan Changkong’s mind was racing as he connected many dots, his breathing somewhat hurried.
Lin Feng smiled lightly, “No need to be surprised; you should adapt early and prepare!”
“No matter what conspiracy it might be!”
“To me, it’s nothing more than harvesting crops. The Celestial Court reaps mortals, and someone is reaping the Celestial Court…”
Lin Feng hesitated for a moment before continuing:
“To break this deadlock, it’s simple—be strong enough! Fear nothing. If you’re tough, they won’t even be able to cut down to you.”
“I’ll leave you with my cultivation methods; you need to practice diligently!”
Yan Changkong, with a serious expression, respectfully replied, “Yes, Ancestor!”

Setting
Traditional Simplified
A group of people walked towards the mountain peak.
With the ancestor personally arriving, there was no need to bow to statues anymore.
Along the way, the news of Ancestor Lin Feng returning to the sect spread, causing a stir in Xuanqing Sect.
The entire sect went wild.
Many disciples hurriedly rushed over just to set eyes on Lin Feng.
Lin Feng just smiled slightly, feeling a bit proud!
An emperor returning home, like a peacock strutting in majestic attire!
As they strolled along…
Lin Feng suddenly noticed a nearby peak adorned with numerous banners, very eye-catching.
Such as:
“Carry forth the spirit of the Eternal Emperor and elevate the sect!”
“Show pride for your sect; tomorrow the sect will be proud of you!”
“Work hard to cultivate and become an immortal soon!”
“Our goal is to become immortals and ancestors!”
“Steadfastly build the sect into a superpower of the cultivation world!”
Lin Feng was stupefied for a moment, suddenly feeling a sense of déjà vu.
He looked at Yan Changkong in disbelief, “Did you come up with this?”
Yan Changkong slightly bowed and replied, “Not me; it’s the Grand Elder Chen Xiu, a very talented and imaginative cultivator.”
“Unfortunately, he’s currently injured and in seclusion!”
“Otherwise, he would’ve been here to meet the Ancestor already.”
Lin Feng frowned. “Injured?”
Who didn’t know that now Xuanqing Sect was under his protection? Who dared harm a sect elder?
Yan Changkong hesitated before truthfully saying, “During the battle in the Heavenly Storm Realm, the Supreme Elder Fang Chen, Elder Dong Kun, and the Grand Elder all went.”
“Only the Grand Elder returned, wounded!”
Lin Feng paused for a moment and nodded.
Since the Grand Elder was in seclusion, it was best not to disturb him; forcing him out would worsen his injuries.
Next,
With Yan Changkong as his guide, Lin Feng toured the sect.
There were significant changes.
However, many places remained exactly the same as he recalled, not altered in the least.
“Let’s stop here!”
Lin Feng suddenly halted, gazing at an open area surrounded by mountains, lush and beautiful.
Yan Changkong looked puzzled and was about to ask when he saw Lin Feng emanating celestial energy, performing hand seals.
Countless grand principles converged, creating a vivid, dreamlike space.
The space twisted and unfolded layer by layer.
Gradually, a space built from numerous grand principles hidden in this world was revealed.
Everyone was left spellbound by this scene, eyes wide in astonishment!
They had never seen such means! Right in front of them, a secret realm was opened in less than a quarter of an hour!
Lin Feng thought for a moment and then set up defensive arrays around the perimeter, as well as a gathering array!
Only then did he stop.
“From now on, let’s call this the Xuanqing Secret Realm!”
Lin Feng turned to Yan Changkong and instructed, “The spiritual energy inside will be hundreds of times more potent than outside, with small spaces containing various grand principles.”
“Each has its own benefits, like slower time flows compared to the outside.”
Lin Feng continued, “As for how to utilize it, you can think about it slowly!”
Yan Changkong was overwhelmed with excitement, almost kneeling again, loudly declaring, “On behalf of the sect, Yan Changkong thanks the Ancestor for the creation!”
The other disciples also cheered in unison.
What is foundation?
This is foundation!
Now, Xuanqing Sect lacked resources and methods, but what they truly needed was this kind of training secret realm.
With this, it was predictable that in the coming time, the overall strength of Xuanqing Sect would surge in a short period!
Training secret realms are something only first-rate powers can possess.
And that’s if their effects are even decent.
At least, only cultivators at the Integration Stage and above have the chance to create secret realms.
Except for a few rare naturally occurring ones.
Moreover, the power of the secret realm is greatly influenced by its creator’s cultivation; the disparity can be vast.
Some secret realms might just have denser spiritual energy.
And those would pale in comparison to the secret realm Lin Feng opened up!
Seeing time was almost up, Lin Feng took out a storage ring and said, “Inside are methods to open the secret realm and some resources. Use them wisely.”
Saying this, he also handed over a pill.
“As for the Grand Elder, help me deliver this pill to him. It should help heal his injuries!”
Yan Changkong accepted it, solemnly responding, “Thank you for your generous gift, Ancestor!”
After lingering a moment longer,
Seeing that time was almost up, Lin Feng bid farewell.
This time, he was heading to the Central State.
Jade Pool Sacred Land!
Another day, as night fell…
In the Jade Pool Sacred Land, the Green Old Man, who was still busy repairing the grand formations, suddenly felt a flash in front of his eyes.
The Green Old Man wondered, “What’s going on?”
He sensed something flying past, but couldn’t confirm — it felt like a hallucination. Besides, the protective array of the sect hadn’t been triggered.
So he just let it slide.
At the peak of the sacred land, there was a lake as green as jade, with lotus flowers blooming in the center.
Yuan Ruoyu sat cross-legged on a lotus platform, eyes closed in meditation.
Under the moonlight, she wore a translucent gauze dress, her ethereal quality making her look like a fairy that stepped out from a painting.
Not a speck of dust touched her.
Suddenly!
Yuan Ruoyu’s heart stirred, as if sensing something, she opened her eyes and turned around abruptly.
Her heart’s desire stood in the moonlight, wearing a gentle smile.
