"The source of all evil in the world arises from the heart. If the heart turns towards goodness, one can glimpse the Heavenly Dao. I thank you, Master, for guiding me onto a correct path of cultivation."
Suddenly, the Rock Giant Demon clasped his hands together, his expression devout.
His once sinister and bloodthirsty eyes had now become calm and serene.
"Hahaha, seeing you wholeheartedly turn towards goodness, I am deeply gratified. Follow me in the days to come, cultivate well, do good deeds, and ultimately you will cultivate the Great Tao."
Lin Feng laughed as he spoke.
He was feeling exceptionally content at this moment.
He had transcended a deity.
This made Lin Feng exceedingly excited.
"Yes, I will certainly listen to the Masterâs teachings in the future!" said the Rock Giant Demon.
"Are you familiar with the Transformation Skill? Transforming into human form wonât cause too much disturbance," Lin Feng asked.
"I have some knowledge of it." The Rock Giant nodded, then immediately used the Transformation Skill, instantly transforming into a towering figure of three meters with ancient bronze skin.
"Good, we should return now..." Lin Feng said.
The Demon Monarch returned to the demon orb, as always, sitting atop a lone grave, motionless, as if becoming a statue.
Itâs unknown what he was thinking.
Lin Feng took the Rock Giant Demon back to the Desire Kingdom.
Just upon their return, Mrs. Qii and Pig-faced Blood Bat King and others came to pay their respects to Lin Feng.
"Master, according to the spiesâ reports, Demon Saint Heavenly Venerate is already assembling an army, likely to attack our Desire Kingdom!" Mrs. Qii said.
Lin Feng nodded; this was something he had long anticipated.
Pig-faced Blood Bat King said, "Master, many experts are now pledging allegiance to Desire Kingdom. Subordinate has also selected one hundred thousand cultivators and included them in the Flame Army, but the generalsâ appointments havenât yet been made. Please appoint the new organizational generals."
Lin Feng said, "Consult with the four Deputy Corps Commanders about the general appointments."
"Understood..." Pig-faced Blood Bat King responded.
At this moment, Lin Feng looked over at Mrs. Qii and said, "Summon the Nine Great Pirate Kings, I want to meet them."
"When would Master like to meet the Nine Great Pirate Kings?" Mrs. Qii asked.
"Tonight, I will host a banquet for the Nine Great Pirate Kings!" Lin Feng said.
"Understood, I will go and prepare right away," Mrs. Qii replied and went to arrange for the event.
...
Lin Feng had several gatherings with the Nine Great Pirate Kings before, but the relationship with them wasnât truly deep; it was a connection based on mutual interests.
Lin Feng knew well itâs foolishly wishful to expect to talk about emotions with the Nine Great Pirate Kings.
The Nine Great Pirate Kings only value interests.
So Lin Feng caters to their interests, planning to discuss dealing with Demon Saint Heavenly Venerate today.
The nine pirate king ships are ancient ships passed down from before the ancient times, extremely terrifying.
To borrow their Pirate King Ships to deal with Demon Saint Heavenly Venerate, negotiation is required.
As long as the benefits are sufficient.
The Nine Great Pirate Kings will discuss anything.
...
In the Desire Kingdomâs Imperial Palace back garden, Lin Feng walked leisurely, his mind involuntarily contemplating methods to deal with Demon Saint Heavenly Venerate.
As a Preheavenly Demon, Demon Saint Heavenly Venerate has now emerged into the world, tempered his physical body, and his cultivation has reached the true God Realm; now he controls the entire northern Seventy-two States in his hands.
Itâs unknown how many life formsâ blood and essence Demon Saint Heavenly Venerate has devoured, his cultivation likely elevated to an unimaginable level.
Heavenly Demon elevates cultivation by constantly devouring blood and essence, this ability is truly hauntingly terrifying.
Therefore, dealing with Demon Saint Heavenly Venerate will undoubtedly be an extremely difficult task.
Lin Fengâs preliminary plan is to use Emperorâs Nine Demon Map, Longevity Bell, and the Nine Great Pirate Kingsâ ships.
Additionally, set an array of Ancient Killing Arrays.
Plus, the Demon Monarch and the Rock Giant Demon.
...
Yet Lin Feng vaguely feels some unease.
He feels that even with all these combined forces, they might still not be opponents of Demon Saint Heavenly Venerate.
He originally wanted to chat with the Demon Monarch, but Lin Feng noticed the Demon Monarch fell silent.
He guessed the Demon Monarch might be adjusting his state at this very moment.
The great battle is approaching!
The Demon Monarch also needs to adjust his state to the peak.
"This is the strongest force I can deploy at this stage," Lin Feng slightly furrowed his brow.
"It seems youâre troubled by the matters of Demon Saint Heavenly Venerate." A faint voice sounded.
Lin Feng looked over.
He saw an enchanting beauty, moving like a fox spirit, with every gesture radiating astonishing charm.
Fenng Yaorao.
Holy Daughter of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan.
The only daughter of Pirate King Fenng Shentian.
Seeing Fenng Yaorao made Lin Feng extremely happy.
Every time he saw her, Lin Feng felt a sense of marvel.
Every time he saw her, Lin Feng couldnât help but recall the scene of the first meeting ten years ago.
Ten years have swiftly passed.
It truly feels like a lifetime has passed.
Ten years are just a fleeting moment for cultivators with long life spans.
But for Lin Feng, too many things have happened over these ten years.
...
Lin Feng smiled at Fenng Yaorao and said, "I wouldnât trouble myself over such trivial matters."
Fenng Yaorao couldnât resist pouting and said, "Matters involving Demon Saint Heavenly Venerate are trivial, then what counts as significant?"
"Havenât you heard I plan to propose to your father tonight?" Lin Feng smiled teasingly at Fenng Yaorao.
Fenng Yaorao said, "Of course, I heard, arenât you also inviting the other eight Pirate Kings? You must have something important to discuss with my father and the other eight Pirate Kings, right?"
Lin Feng laughed and said, "Certainly something important, and itâs a matter of great significance."
Fenng Yaorao couldnât help but look curiously at Lin Feng and ask, "What matter? Could it be more important than Demon Saint Heavenly Venerate?"
"Itâs naturally about the engagement between the two of us. I mentioned before wishing to propose to your father; now by inviting the Nine Great Pirate Kings that the other eight Pirate Kings will witness, asking your father to betroth you to me." Lin Feng said with a playful smile.
Fenng Yaoraoâs face instantaneously flushed red, humming softly, "If you dare to speak nonsense before my father, do you believe I will beat you until you canât find your teeth?"
Lin Feng then embraced Fenng, saying, "I donât believe it because you canât bear it."
"Let go of me quickly, people will see," Fenng Yaorao, held in Lin Fengâs arms, struggled gently with a rosy face.
"Whatâs the point in fearing? You are eventually going to be my wife, let me hold you properly for a moment," Lin Feng said softly.
Fenng Yaorao no longer struggled, resting her face on Lin Fengâs chest, understanding how difficult Lin Fengâs journey has been.
Now, the heavy responsibility on fighting against the Heavenly Demon falls on Lin Fengâs shoulders; he must be very exhausted, Fenng Yaorao felt deeply for Lin Feng.
