Chapter 957: Chapter 957: Entering the Saints Association

"The exact location of Red Canyon has already been imprinted into the Prophetic Skull!" The Sacrificial Master spoke with a trace of a smile at the corner of his eyes, "When the Atlantis Continent opens, once you enter it, the Prophetic Skull will naturally guide you to Red Canyon!"

Ling Feng’s brow twitched slightly. It seemed that the Sacrificial Master was also worried he wouldn’t keep his promise, resorting to such a minor trick.

However, Ling Feng didn’t mind. After all, he was definitely going to Atlantis Continent anyway.

"Then, my second question is... where is the Xuanyuan Sword itself?" Ling Feng asked in a deep voice.

Although Ling Feng had the Sword Scar in his possession, its power couldn’t fully unleash the three sword techniques taught to him by the Holy Emperor. Moreover, before Xuanyuan Saint Emperor disappeared, he mentioned that the Xuanyuan Sword remained somewhere on Earth. Only by finding the Xuanyuan Sword could Ling Feng truly wield that world-shattering sword technique.

"The Xuanyuan Sword, huh!" The Sacrificial Master’s eyes gleamed with nostalgia as he spoke faintly, "Back in the day, the Xuanyuan Saint Emperor, wielding that sword alone, defeated tens of thousands of formidable beings from the Abyss. That unmatched elegance still inspires awe even now!"

"However, regarding the Xuanyuan Sword’s whereabouts, I am uncertain," the Sacrificial Master sighed. "The Xuanyuan Sword is a Divine Artifact—truly a Divine Artifact. While I can glimpse fragments of the future, I cannot precisely calculate the location of the Xuanyuan Sword."

Ling Feng’s brows furrowed. If even he didn’t know the Xuanyuan Sword’s location, then where should he begin his search?

"However..." the Sacrificial Master spoke unhurriedly at this moment, "all Divine Artifacts possess Divinity. Only a destined soul can claim them!"

The Sacrificial Master continued, "I don’t know the exact location of the Xuanyuan Sword, but I do know that it last appeared on the Atlantis Continent. Thus, if you wish to find the Xuanyuan Sword itself, you must go to the Atlantis Continent. And since you are the designated heir of the Xuanyuan Saint Emperor, naturally, you are also fated to possess the Xuanyuan Sword."

Ling Feng’s voice deepened as he said, "In that case, you haven’t given me an accurate answer to my second question, have you?"

The Sacrificial Master was taken aback, then let out a wry smile and replied, "That’s correct. No one can answer this question for you. Perhaps only the Xuanyuan Saint Emperor himself knows."

Ling Feng fell silent, a trace of disappointment flickering in his heart. However, knowing that the Xuanyuan Sword was on the Atlantis Continent was still valuable information.

"You may ask your third question," the Sacrificial Master prompted.

Ling Feng thought for a moment before saying, "I want to know, after the Atlantis Continent opens, what direction will this world head towards?"

Regarding the emergence of the Atlantis Continent, Ling Feng always harbored a sense of vigilance. Coupled with what the Xuanyuan Saint Emperor had previously mentioned about the Great Era of Cataclysm, an ominous premonition had risen in Ling Feng’s heart.

If the appearance of Atlantis Continent was indeed a herald of the Great Era of Cataclysm, then was there a way to prevent all of this?

Under a toppled nest, could there be unbroken eggs? Ling Feng knew well that, despite being able to stand out above his peers, within the vast Underworld, he wasn’t the strongest. If that cataclysmic era truly arrived, Ling Feng wasn’t confident he could protect all of his loved ones amidst the chaos.

"This question, I believe the answer is already within your heart," the Sacrificial Master spoke faintly. "The reopening of the Atlantis Continent is merely the beginning of the chaos. Isn’t that something you already sense deep down?"

Ling Feng’s face became grim. "Is there truly no way to stop this from happening?"

"Life and death, the blossoming and withering of plants—these are the Laws of nature, the power of Fate itself!" The Sacrificial Master calmly remarked, "Even if someone uses supreme power to temporarily obscure Fate’s gaze, they will ultimately face its retribution! No one can escape it!"

The Sacrificial Master continued, "I understand your thoughts, but this development is not something that a few individuals like us can reverse. The Heavenly Dao will reset, destruction will descend, and only through the Great Era of Cataclysm can new order be forged!"

The Sacrificial Master gave Ling Feng a deep and meaningful look. "Instead of thinking about how to stop all this, you’d better consider how to strengthen yourself before the Great Era of Cataclysm arrives, so that you have the power to resist the tide of Fate."

Ling Feng’s expression darkened. He was silent for a long time before he finally let out a heavy sigh. "Thank you for enlightening me, Sacrificial Master."

The Sacrificial Master shook his head lightly. "No need to thank me. This was merely an equivalent exchange between us. You helped the God race unseal the barrier, and I helped you dispel your doubts—nothing more."

As he spoke, the Sacrificial Master waved his hand. The Crystal Pathway dissolved into countless streaks of violet light, which settled onto Ling Feng’s wrist. Soon, a violet Crystal Flower appeared on his wrist.

"The Prophetic Skull is now hidden within your wrist. When you enter the Atlantis Continent, it will naturally reveal itself," the Sacrificial Master said, gazing at Ling Feng. "You may leave now. I only hope that both I and the Xuanyuan Saint Emperor have not judged wrongly... Ling Feng, the future holds many dangers, and your current strength... is still too weak!"

Ling Feng fell silent. He bowed respectfully to the Sacrificial Master, and as his vision blurred, he found himself standing outside of Stonehenge.

"This..." Ling Feng’s mind was momentarily dazed. Could everything he had just gone through have been an illusion?

"I didn’t expect Lord Ling Feng to emerge from Stonehenge so quickly!" Karry exclaimed with a hint of astonishment on his rugged face when he saw Ling Feng appear. He hadn’t anticipated Ling Feng’s return so soon—barely an hour had passed!

Ling Feng glanced at his wrist, discovering that the violet Crystal Flower was blooming splendidly, a silent testament to the reality of his experiences.

"The Saints Association’s Stonehenge is truly... wondrous," Ling Feng mused internally.

"May I ask, what did Lord Ling Feng experience within?" Karry inquired out of curiosity, unable to hold back when he saw Ling Feng looking absent-minded.

Ling Feng returned to himself and chuckled lightly. "Now that I’ve come out, can I go inside?"

Karry smiled faintly. "His Holiness the Son has already prepared a fine meal. He awaits you inside, Lord Ling Feng."

With Karry leading the way, Ling Feng entered the Saints Association’s inner domain without issue.

Here, Ling Feng observed many Saints Association believers immersed in their cultivation, their faces radiating a kind of sacred light.

"This Saints Association truly has an air of mystery," Ling Feng thought to himself.

"Lord Ling Feng, we’ve arrived. Please, do enter!" Karry brought Ling Feng to a grand shrine. "His Holiness the Son has been waiting for you for quite some time!"
