Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 547 - 538: A Gathering of Geniuses

Chapter 547: Chapter 538: A Gathering of Geniuses

Shi Feng looked down at the barren hill below, fully aware of the existence of a Sacred Sword Fragment but utterly powerless to do anything about it, feeling a surge of frustration and helplessness.

"Forget it! In this case, I can only wait until I become stronger and then make another trip here." Shi Feng murmured softly, knowing very well after sensing the surge of power above the hill earlier that trying to break the Seal Power with force now would be suicidal.

In Shi Feng’s right hand, a blood-colored light flashed, and the Bloodthirsty Sword transformed back into a blood-colored sword pattern, embedding itself on the upper part of his right middle finger.

"Now, my Martial Arts Realm is at the Seven-star Martial Venerate Realm! My Soul Power is at the early stage of the Eighth-stage Saint! Last time in Bright Pearl City, after refining that Black Blood Pearl, even the strength of my physical body has advanced from the strength of a Two-star Martial Emperor to that of a Four-star Martial Emperor! Now, I am indeed capable of battling a Martial Saint-level expert!"

"There are just over five days left! Go to Tianlan Imperial City!" Shi Feng decided. Since this Sealing Land was inaccessible and he couldn’t visit Chu Xin here, Shi Feng made up his mind and set off for Tianlan Imperial City immediately.

After six days of bloody battles in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and then another day of fight in Starshine City, it would be five more days until Tianlan Imperial City, which was the day Princess Linglong, also known as Jin Mo, had her martial contest for marriage!

Shi Feng had promised Jin Mo freedom through this martial contest for marriage and naturally had to fulfill his promise.

"Roar!" Just then, a tiger’s roar resonated from the distant night sky, and Shi Feng followed the sound to see the white tiger Little Bai rushing swiftly towards him.

It appeared that Little Yi of the Tough Mercenary Corps had passed through that forest and notified Little Bai to return.

With a howling gale accompanying his movements, Little Bai quickly reached Shi Feng’s side, his massive body crouching down.

Shi Feng stepped up onto Little Bai’s back and then exclaimed in a low voice, "Let’s go, Little Bai! To the space transmission array in this city’s central district. We’re heading to Tianlan Empire!"

"Roar!" A sky-shaking roar came from Little Bai, mixed with excitement. As a Seventh-stage Venerable Level demon beast with his Spiritual Wisdom, he naturally understood what Shi Feng was heading to Tianlan Imperial City for!

Although they hadn’t spent much time together, it was evident from their past interactions that Little Bai was quite fond of Jin Mo.

Pounding hooves and howling winds carried Shi Feng and Little Bai toward the center of the city. As they approached the central district, a massive space transmission array altar stood nearby, surrounded by Starshine City’s armor-clad guardians.

Little Bai made a bold and domineering dive downwards. It was late at night, and there weren’t many people on the transmission altar, allowing Little Bai and Shi Feng to land directly on it.

At this moment, Shi Feng was the focus of the city, much like a rising star in Starshine City. The guards below, who had been monitoring Shi Feng ever since he annihilated the Tai Family, were already attentive to him.

Seeing Shi Feng approaching, a Guardian Captain hurriedly came forward, greeted him respectfully with clasped fists, and asked, "Sir, may I ask where you are heading?"

Such was Tianheng Continent, where the strong were revered. As long as one possessed absolute power, even if Shi Feng acted recklessly within Starshine City, even if he killed people here, including wiping out a large group, what of it? In the absence of a power strong enough to suppress him, who would dare interfere in his affairs?

Not only that, the strong were respected everywhere.

"Head to Tianlan Imperial City!" Shi Feng said indifferently to the bowing guardian.

"Yes! Please wait a moment, sir!" the Guardian Captain said, then he turned to the other guards and commanded in a deep voice, "Set the Transmission Altar coordinates and open the path to Tianlan Imperial City!"

"Yes!" With a loud shout in unison, the guards began to bustle about. Soon, the altar where Shi Feng stood lit up with white light which then grew increasingly intense and dazzling, shooting up into the dark night sky.

After the intense white light shooting from the Transmission Altar had disappeared, the altar was empty—Shi Feng and Little Bai had already entered the next city through the Space Transmission Array!

Starshine City was separated by eight other cities from Tianlan Imperial City. However, the Space Transmission Arrays of the Tianlan Empire were incomparably more advanced than those once inside the Heavenly Mist Empire. When Shi Feng saw his surroundings, he saw a vast crowd all around him.

At that moment, Shi Feng had already entered Tianlan Imperial City and was still standing on the Transmission Altar of Tianlan Imperial City. Although it was late at night, the altar was still filled with a crowd of at least a few hundred people.

These people, like Shi Feng, had arrived at this imperial city at the same time via Transmission Arrays from other cities.

"All right, all of you, get off the altar! Don’t block the operation of the Transmission Array!" Blue-armored guardians were directing the crowd, managing the flow of people around the Transmission Array.

Riding a white tiger, Shi Feng gradually walked down from the Transmission Altar with the crowd. Suddenly, a burst of exclamations echoed, "Look! Look at that person! He is here in Tianlan Imperial City too, he must have come for Princess Linglong."

"Heroes love beauties! Such a genius can’t escape the famous beauty of our country’s Princess Linglong!" someone else added.

At that moment, many people near the Transmission Array were looking intently at a young man in his early twenties wearing a moon-white robe, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and a handsome face, standing proudly on a snow-white wolf. People crowded around him like stars around a moon.

"Who is this person? Is he famous?" someone who didn’t recognize the white-robed youth asked doubtfully to someone nearby.

"You! You don’t even know him? He is Bai Junshuang, a genius disciple from one of the Three Sacred Lands of the Eastern Domain, the Moonlight Sect! It’s rumored that Bai Junshuang, who is only twenty-two, has already reached the Nine-star Martial Venerable Realm.

People say his Martial Arts Talent is so exceptional that even Zi Xiao, the youngest of the Top Ten Powerhouses from our Tianlan Empire, can’t compare to him!"

"So it’s Bai Junshuang! I’ve heard of his reputation, but this is my first time seeing him! I hadn’t imagined that not only is Bai Junshuang’s talent extraordinary, but his appearance is also top-notch.

Now another genius has arrived; Tianlan Imperial City truly is gathering numerous talents this time. It seems the marital arts competition for Princess Linglong’s hand will be even more exciting! It’s getting more and more thrilling."

Shi Feng also followed the crowd’s gaze toward the young man in the moon-white robe, whose Martial Arts Cultivation indeed reached the Nine-star Martial Venerable Realm. Although he was young, his aura was even stronger than that of the old man Chu Zhu that Shi Feng had seen in Starshine City!
