937 Observation
“I’m indeed not a Chaotic spirit beast from the Hallowed Beast Continent,” The Torch Dragon said slowly.
It glanced at Lin Feng, as if it had accepted its fate, and continued, “I grew up in a primitive Chaotic continent. There, I was born with the Torch Dragon bloodline. Perhaps another Torch Dragon abandoned me in that Chaotic continent.
“That Chaotic continent was dead and barren. There was nothing there, and the environment was abnormally harsh. I was born 100,000 years ago, before metamorphosing into a Chaotic lifeform and beginning to roam the Chaos. Later, I gradually excavated the Torch Dragon bloodline in my body. I went to many Chaotic continents and plundered all the resources in those Chaotic continents, which allowed me to grow rapidly. Finally, I metamorphosed into a Chaotic spirit beast.
“But what’s the use of becoming a Chaotic spirit beast? I know that I’m a descendant of a divine beast, and I also know that there will always be only one Divine Beast, the Torch Dragon, in the entire Chaos! I’ve traveled in the Chaos for so many years, and I’ve seen a Chaotic divine beast from afar once. Just a furious roar from it was almost impossible for me to withstand. The difference was too great. Deep down, I made up my mind to become a divine beast!
“Later, I learned about the Hallowed Beast Continent from some Chaotic merchants. It is a barren continent with infinite potential. If I can dominate the entire Hallowed Beast Continent, I may even have a chance of fulfilling my lifelong wish. However, I didn’t expect to be suppressed by you in the end. Are you really a Perfected Lord?”
Towards the end, even the Torch Dragon began to doubt if Lin Feng was a Perfected Lord. How could a Perfected Lord be so powerful as to suppress the Torch Dragon?
Seeing the Torch Dragon’s suspicious gaze, Lin Feng did not answer directly. Instead, he pondered for a moment and said, “You’ve traveled the Chaos for so long. Do you know about the seven holy cities?”
“Who wouldn’t know about the seven holy cities?”
“Then do you know the exact locations of the seven holy cities?” Lin Feng asked eagerly.
However, the Torch Dragon merely shook its head and said, “I don’t know either. Legend has it that in the seven holy cities, be it Chaotic spirit beasts or cultivators, anyone can enter as long as they abide by the rules of the holy cities. The seven holy cities are the center of the Chaos, the rulers of the Chaos, and are holy lands for cultivation. Unfortunately, after roaming the Chaos for so many years, I still do not know the exact location of the holy cities of Chaos.”
“Even you don’t know?” Lin Feng could not help but frown. “Didn’t you say that you’ve encountered Chaotic merchants?”
“That’s right, I’ve indeed encountered Chaotic merchants. However, you don’t know Chaotic merchants. Those Chaotic merchants only value profits. Only profits can move them. They won’t take the initiative to participate in battle, and treat Chaotic spirit beasts equally. As long as you can offer them treasures, you can trade with them. Back then, I gave all the treasures I obtained over the years to that Chaotic merchants, but I didn’t manage to exchange them for the exact location of the holy cities. Instead, I only managed to exchange them for the exact location of the Hallowed Beast Continent.”
Lin Feng pondered thoughtfully. It seemed like these Chaotic merchants were really mysterious. They only traded and did not interfere in any matter? It had to be known that although cultivators and Chaotic dire beasts could not be considered mortal enemies, the two parties definitely would not be too friendly with each other. Once they encountered each other, they would most likely fight.
These Chaotic merchants, on the other hand, stayed out of it. Be it cultivators, Chaotic spirit beasts, or even some natives of the Chaotic continents, the Chaotic merchants would trade with them.
Transaction was the only goal of the Chaotic merchants.
Lin Feng vaguely felt that it would probably not be so easy to learn the exact locations of the seven holy cities from the Chaotic merchants. Even if Lin Feng had collected the resources of the Hallowed Beast Continent, if he could not satisfy the Chaotic merchants, they probably would not tell him the exact locations of the seven holy cities.
“I wonder if the Torch Dragon, a descendant of a divine beast, can be considered a rare treasure?”
Lin Feng’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. Originally, he wanted to refine the Torch Dragon. However, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. Since Chaotic vendors did everything with the goal of transaction
Then, Lin Feng only needed to collect all kinds of rare treasures, and it might satisfy Chaotic merchants.
The Torch Dragon was a descendant of a divine beast. It had the Torch Dragon bloodline and was somewhat related to the Chaotic Rule of Time. It was very likely that those Chaotic merchants would also be satisfied with such a “commodity”.
At this thought, Lin Feng continued to suppress the Torch Dragon and did not refine it. In any case, even after refining it, it would only increase the diameter of the universe by billions of light-years at most, which would not affect Lin Feng’s current internal universe by much.
Moreover, leaving the Torch Dragon behind could allow the Torch Dragon to carefully analyze the “time standstill”. It might even allow Lin Feng to gain some understanding of the Chaotic Rule of Time. It would be even better if he could be lucky enough to comprehend it.
The crisis in Mystic Stone City had been resolved. Moreover, as Lin Feng had moved all 13 Chaotic spirit beasts into the internal universe, there was not even a single Chaotic spirit beast among some Chaotic dire beast races around Mystic Stone City now.
How could the Mystic Stone City Lord, Perfected Lord Wind, and the other Perfected Lords miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Hence, the eight Perfected Lords of Mystic Stone City all attacked. With the two Perfected Lords in each direction, they began to eliminate those Chaotic dire beasts in four directions.
Many Chaotic dire beasts were killed every day. In just half a month, they had cleared out almost everything within a radius of thousands of kilometers. Countless Chaotic dire beasts were either dead or fleeing. The surroundings of the entire Mystic Stone City were empty.
The Mystic Stone City Lord was very happy. He naturally knew whose credit it was. Hence, after Lin Feng exited seclusion, the Mystic Stone City Lord repeatedly invited Lin Feng, wanting to hold a celebratory feast in his name, but Lin Feng rejected him each time.
He had come after accepting the incomplete divine ability technique. Even though the incomplete divine ability technique did not seem to be of much use to Lin Feng at the moment, the two parties were indeed making a “deal”, and it could not be considered much of a contribution from him.
Perfected Lord Empyrean also rushed over from Empyrean City. He was discussing a major matter with the Mystic Stone City Lord. He actually wanted to clear out all the Chaotic dire beasts between Empyrean City and Mystic Stone City, linking the two cities together, so that they could watch out for each other.
The distance between the two cities was not too far, but neither was it too short. More importantly, although there were no Chaotic spirit beasts entrenched in the middle, there were many Chaotic dire beasts, over ten times more than the Chaotic dire beasts slaughtered previously by the two cities combined.
How could they kill and expel so many Chaotic dire beasts?
In the end, the two of them found Lin Feng and told him their plan. They wanted to eliminate the Chaotic dire beasts between the two cities and integrate the two cities as one.
From then on, it became one of the largest main cities in the entire Hallowed Beast Continent!
In fact, once they succeeded, they would also become the largest main city of the Hallowed Beast Continent, and the benchmark of the Hallowed Beast Continent. Countless cultivators would come because of their reputation.
The two of them were rather ambitious. The two of them even regarded Lin Feng as the City Lord. After all, it was impossible to establish one of the top main cities and iconic cities on the Hallowed Beast Continent without a top-notch Perfected Lord presiding over it.
Lin Feng thought for a moment. He still had to stay in the Hallowed Beast Continent for a long time. There were too many Chaotic dire beasts here. In Lin Feng’s eyes, these Chaotic dire beasts were all resources.
Moreover, he had to wait for the arrival of the Chaotic merchants, so the position of City Lord was very necessary.
After careful consideration, Lin Feng finally agreed to Perfected Lord Empyrean and the Mystic Stone City Lord’s request to merge the two cities into one.
The Chaotic dire beasts that gave Perfected Lord Empyrean and the Mystic Stone City Lord a huge headache were not a difficult problem in Lin Feng’s eyes at all. In fact, since Lin Feng had already agreed to become the City Lord, he naturally had to promote the reputation of the new city for the merger.
Hence, Lin Feng invited the Chaotic Perfected Lords of the surrounding cities to watch the ceremony! He wanted to personally deal with those massive Chaotic dire beasts in front of these many Chaotic Perfected Lords and Chaotic Perfected Persons!
