Merging with Demon Spirits

Killing has never been the best way to solve problems, but it is the most direct method.

For the Pure Land, it is particularly the case.

Here, strength is supreme.

With strength, you can do whatever you wish.

And the Celestial King is one who can act as they please.

After the inauguration ceremony of Hua’s Hall, with previous lessons learned, no Apostle dared to challenge Lin Feng’s position as a Celestial King.

Even if Lin Feng’s strength was not as great as the other Celestial Kings, he was absolutely not someone an Apostle could provoke.

Furthermore, Lin Feng was not a person who showed mercy.

Failing the challenge meant death!

Not only Apostles, but even some Celestial Kings who doubted Lin Feng’s qualification to sit in a Celestial King’s position also temporarily stayed silent.

Possessing three Divine Level Soul Skills, a perfect battle body series composed of a set of Diamond Soul Skills, even if they could defeat Lin Feng, it was extremely hard to kill him.

Even if some Celestial Kings underestimated Lin Feng’s strength, believing he did not deserve the Celestial King seat, no one could ignore his prodigious talent.

Lacking the strength to slay Lin Feng on the spot meant facing potential revenge when Lin Feng rises to Emperor.

The Celestial Kings who always acted freely would prefer not to become enemies with Lin Feng unless necessary.

Thus, Lin Feng’s days have been going well recently.

He also started to enjoy the treatment a Celestial King is entitled to.

Central Research Institute.

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat restless, with some workers in charge of data processing, pausing their work, curiously observing the approaching young man, the recently renowned Thirteen Celestial King.

Seeing this youthful face, all sighed inwardly.

Becoming a Celestial King at 23 was unimaginable for anyone!

"Celestial King Hua, do you have any orders?"

Wearing black-rimmed glasses, suited up, with a noticeably stout figure, Steward Chen stood to Lin Feng’s left, slightly behind him, and asked respectfully.

A month ago, Lin Feng came here, then as an Apostle of the Celestial King Hai, but now he had leaped to become a Celestial King.

While Steward Chen sighed, he was also quite pleased, considering himself a Hua Country person.

Currently, Pure Land has three Celestial Kings from Hua Country, arguably the strongest force if divided by nationality, but people here cared not for nationalities or beliefs.

"How’s the progress on the issue I asked you to resolve last time?"

Lin Feng inquired.

After ascending to Thirteen Celestial King, all accumulated data and secret techniques of Pure Land for the past century were opened to Lin Feng, yet he still couldn’t find a way to alleviate assimilation.

That’s why he came here.

"Previously, three Intermediate research teams were arranged for experiments, but due to the short time, there’s not much progress so far."

Steward Chen, answering while discreetly observing Lin Feng’s expression.

Lin Feng’s brows were tightly knit, looking displeased, making Steward Chen start to tense up.

As the saying goes, a new official brings three fires; hopefully, the first fire won’t burn on oneself.

"Currently, how many research groups are there in the institute? Does each research group have a set number? Are there any differences?" Lin Feng asked three questions in a row.

Steward Chen did not hesitate, quickly replying, "There are 129 research groups in total, 19 High Tier, 42 Intermediate, and the rest are Basic-Level, all with 18 members each."

"Then arrange 10 High Tier research groups to study my issue."

Lin Feng said.

Steward Chen’s expression showed some hesitation.

The institute only had 19 High Tier research groups, and Lin Feng requested 10 of them at once, exceeding half, which would surely impact or interrupt other Celestial Kings’ research projects.

He couldn’t afford to offend many Celestial Kings for Lin Feng alone.

Moreover, he was just one of the three Chief Stewards, lacking this authority.

The dialogue between Lin Feng and Steward Chen wasn’t deliberately lowered, and some around, both researchers and staff, listened clearly, showing surprised expressions.

Did he start so aggressively just after attaining the Celestial King title?

Before Steward Chen could speak, Lin Feng continued, "Discuss with other Celestial Kings, their projects can be postponed for a year, I only need a year. If there’s no result after a year, this research project ends. In a month, I’ll check on the experimental progress."

With that said, Lin Feng left the institute, giving no chance for Steward Chen to explain or refuse.

Steward Chen watched helplessly, only able to see Lin Feng off.

Leaving the institute, Lin Feng leapt up, his Spiritual Power Wings fluttering, quickly returning to Hua’s Hall.

Upon landing, Lin Feng felt his left hand slightly heating. Looking down, he saw a red seed embedded in his palm, emitting a faint glow.

This seed was delivered by a steward yesterday, something only Celestial Kings possessed.

"Is it beginning?"

As soon as he spoke, darkness fell over Lin Feng’s eyes, and he arrived at an unfamiliar place.

Deep within an unknown forest, dense leaves blocked the sky, while a gigantic blood-red flower bloomed in the darkness.

This enormous flower had thirteen petals; each petal was as red as blood, covered with dense black patterns. From a height, one could see they were human faces.

These faces varied: men, women, young, and old, appearing exceedingly eerie.

A faint fragrance wafted through the forest, attracting numerous High Tier Demon Beasts, numbering in the hundreds.

However, before approaching within ten meters of the giant flower, the beasts let out howls, turning into blood and flesh, even their bones dissolved, seeping into the black soil.

The blood-red giant flower quivered slightly, emitting a bizarre sound as if feeding, with face-like patterns on the petals shifting through various expressions.

Buzz...

Time unknown, with a buzz, an ethereal figure appeared out of thin air, floating above a petal, as the human-face patterns disappeared while the phantom became clearer and more solid.

It was precisely Lin Feng’s likeness.

Lin Feng glanced around, his gaze filled with curiosity.

The over thirty-meter-tall, unknown blood-red flower before him was something he had never seen.

"Using pollen to lure them?"

Watching the demon beasts uncontrollably approach, then dissipate as they are corroded, along with the faint floral scent in the air, he speculated in his heart.

With Lin Feng’s appearance, other petals also began to reveal phantasms.

A total of thirteen phantasms, representing the Pure Land’s Thirteen Celestial Kings.

Lin Feng looked down at his illusory left hand, streams of energy flowed into his body through the palm of his left hand.

It was because of this seed that he could arrive here in the form of a consciousness phantasm.

This was Lin Feng’s first time coming here, also his first time enjoying this special treatment granted to Celestial Kings.

"Currently, I am not my physical form, just a consciousness phantasm, yet I can feel the presence of Hua’s Hall’s body, meaning I can return at any time. My Qi and Blood and physical qualities are continually strengthening, in just a few minutes, equivalent to three months of my cultivation."

One feeding can save three months of body training, no wonder so many people want to rise to the position of Celestial King.

And such feeding happens once a month.

"This time there’s an additional person, some have not eaten their fill!"

Someone broke the silence, Lin Feng looked towards the direction of the voice, which was clearly from Beast Celestial King.

Beast Celestial King also looked at Lin Feng at this moment, his gaze carrying a provocative intent.

"If you’re not full, go eat shit."

Lin Feng directly retorted, having no plans to swallow insults silently.

"Hehe."

Several Celestial Kings laughed out loud, seemingly not expecting Lin Feng to be so bold.

"You’re courting death!"

Beast Celestial King stared fixedly at Lin Feng, his tone frigid as he spoke.

Among the Celestial Kings, there were few who dared to provoke him like this.

In his view, Lin Feng was simply too arrogant.

"If you’re not full, you’re looking for shit to eat more, don’t starve yourself." Lin Feng said, continuing to provoke Beast Celestial King.

Completely disregarding his threat.

Since the conflict couldn’t be reconciled, there was no need to compromise and yield.

Doing so would only make himself appear weak.

Beast Celestial King felt like he was going crazy, sensing the jestful gazes of the surrounding Celestial Kings, his anger burned even more, as if realizing his verbal skills weren’t as sharp as Lin Feng’s, he could only maintain a gloomy face, let out a cold snort, and not speak further.

The other Celestial Kings displayed expressions of casual observance, seemingly having a feeling of wanting more.

Lin Feng’s arrival indeed livens up the Pure Land.

After the feeding ended, the Celestial Kings had no intention of leaving.

"Alright, let’s discuss proper business."

Fate Celestial King spoke, and the expressions of the other Celestial Kings became slightly more serious, even Beast Celestial King restrained the murderous intent on his face.

As a Divine Level Therapist, everyone had to give Fate Celestial King some respect.

"The Pure Land World is two-thirds complete, roughly needing 7 keys of Diamond level left."

Fate Celestial King stated.

This sentence was clearly directed at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng’s eyes flickered.

The Pure Land World, as described by the Pure Land Organization, is humanity’s final haven, independent of Earth and the Divine Martial Continent.

In the eyes of residents of Suspended City, entering there promises escape from war and peaceful living.

Evidently, creating the Pure Land World requires keys, which are also known as the Heart of Space.

Fate Celestial King continued, "According to the latest information, on the Divine Martial Continent, there are 7 known owners of Diamond keys, and 19 suspected owners, making a total of 26 people. Among these 26, there are 21 emperors. Detailed information on their strengths and abilities will be provided to you, you can choose yourselves, still in pairs, you can decide on your teammates. This time, a unified action is required, to prevent the prey from getting alerted."

Saying this, Fate Celestial King looked at Lin Feng.

Originally, there were twelve Celestial Kings in Pure Land, paired in groups of six.

Now, twelve Celestial Kings became thirteen Celestial Kings with the addition of Lin Feng.

The task requires pairing groups, which means the difficulty in acquiring a Diamond key, one person alone surely cannot accomplish it.

"I don’t have an Apostle yet, why not let Hong Yi be my Apostle, and we can pair up just right."

Facing the attention of everyone, Lin Feng spoke slowly, his gaze directed towards the area where Spirit Celestial King was.

The other Celestial Kings also looked towards Spirit Celestial King, their expressions varied.

To the Celestial Kings, replacing an Apostle was no big deal, but Hong Yi possessed emperor-level power, which was not just simple apostle matter.

"Hehe."

Spirit Celestial King chuckled softly, saying, "Just became a Celestial King and already want to snatch my Apostle, is Celestial King Hua provoking me or looking down on me?"

The atmosphere grew a bit delicate, the Celestial Kings glanced at one another, nobody speaking.

Conflicts among Celestial Kings should be resolved internally; others wouldn’t easily take a side.

"You think too much, if you don’t agree then forget it."

Lin Feng shook his head, expression unchanged.

This was merely his probing.

Things turned out as he predicted, Spirit Celestial King wouldn’t agree lightly.

"You can borrow my Apostle."

Dream Celestial King suddenly spoke, unexpected to everyone.

Weren’t the two at odds?

Dream Celestial King’s Apostles were all with King-level power, right?How did they qualify to team up with Lin Feng?

Lin Feng glanced at Dream Celestial King, after a few seconds he said, "Alright."
