Chapter 1302: Old Feuds

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The innately-born Azure Tides Pearl, the Silky Jewel Flower and the Fire Lotus Bark from the Great Swamp of the Ancient Regions in the Southern Barrens, the Snow Tassel from the snowy areas in the Northern Realms, the Matte Glowless Steel of the Six Mystical Metals, the bone marrow of the Hu Qi, which were powerful ice-type demons from the Primordial Age that were almost completely extinct...

These were just a list of some materials. Some were magic treasure embryos except they hadn’t been officially refined it or it was simply not appropriate, and that they had to be forged together with other materials, or perhaps Liang Pan just wanted to keep them for later and use a secret method to fuse them into the Imperial Palace or the Great Heavenly Wheels.

There were all sorts of magic items, weapons and whatnot besides these materials. They weren’t the same as typical magic treasures, as magic items could be made with a formula or a system. The sheer number of weapons and defensive items and all sorts of other magic items were vast and overwhelming.

Besides magic items, the number of pills and herbs couldn’t even be counted.

There was another Mahayana-level magic treasure inside the Imperial Palace. It was as crucible and its appearance was simple and unadorned. Lin Feng took a while to recognize this magic treasure as the Primordial Mother’s Crucible that had enjoyed quite a reputation during the Primordial Age.

It was a Mahayana-level magic treasure, and also served as the ancestor of pill-making in the human world of cultivation. It was also Emperor Chong’s magic treasure of choice to carry around with him, and was the first pill-making crucible in the world that became a Mahayana-level magic treasure.

However, this magic treasure was destroyed when Emperor Chong met his demise all those years ago.

The Primordial Mother’s Crucible’s original soul was annihilated and all that was left was an empty shell. When the Great Zhou Empire discovered it afterwards, they worked hard to re-forge it and gave birth to a whole new soul before they raised its level from a Gestation to Mahayana.

This magic treasure was imperative and was substantially important for the Great Zhou Empire’s initial rise to power.

The fact that it could become return to Mahayana meant it was not inferior the Sun and Moon Divine Cauldron or the Barren Celestial Cauldron, which were both stellar magic treasures for pill-forging. It was probably only inferior to something like the Crucible of the Divine Lands and other entities of that level.

Lin Feng shook his head and laughed, “Many empires have relied upon pill-forging magic treasures to sustain them in their rise to power.”

The Great Heavenly Wheels and the Imperial Palace aside, the Primordial Mother’s Crucible and most of the other resources that Liang Pan had stored within the Imperial Palace, along with the powerful Mahayana-level magic treasure Crouching Dragon Stele, Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders wouldn’t assume control over them. Instead, they handed them over to the new emperor of the Great Zhou Empire, Liang Gan.

Lin Feng had no interest to play the moderator between the Great Qin Empire, the Great Zhou Empire and the Royal House of the Northern Tribes. However, he had been relatively friendly to the powers and people that had been nice to him over the years.

Furthermore, many of these things would end up in the hands of the Great Qin Empire. The exact number that could be retained was uncertain, and that would be up to Liang Gan and company’s abilities.

The Ying Sea was not completely under their control, and this was the Celestial Sect of Wonder’s greatest takeaway.

Lin Feng returned the Two Elements of Creation Formation back to Shi Tianhao and Li Yuanfang. The magic formation still contained the Higan Golden Bridge, the Crucible of the Divine Lands, the Imperial Palace and the Great Heavenly Wheels, and he ordered them to take everything back to Mount Yujing for assimilation and settlement.

Yue Hongyan would return to the Arctic State first, and she would return to Mount Yujing shortly afterwards.

Lin Feng’s three avatars would reside within the respective Celestial Mountains and they would submerge themselves along with the mountains deep into the Ying Sea.

He didn’t prohibit anybody else from entering the Ying Sea through the inter-world passageway on a normal basis. However, there were not that many people who dared to take a fearless stroll inside the Ying Sea anymore.

Anybody who wanted to enter the Ying Sea would have to consider Lin Feng’s opinions. If not, besides the few people and so few that they could be counted with fingers, the other people would be able to enter but they wouldn’t be able to leave.

Lin Feng’s original body remained on Mount Yujing to study his own mantras on one hand and to slowly delve into Liang Pan’s Supreme Reign Divine Light.

The other cultivators from the Great Zhou Empire who had departed Tianjing City with Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu had long been sent back, but some of them had been punished for the sins that they had committed before.

There was a relatively special and powerful family that attracted Lin Feng’s attention.

They were one of the four great families from the Great Qin Empire, before they deserted and joined under the Great Zhou Empire’s wing – the Lei Family.

The Great Zhou Empire had been good and generous to the Lei Family ever since they joined. The Lei Family leader, Lei Lie, had broken through his bottleneck of many years and successfully reached the second-level immortal soul stage in recent years. Everything was closely connected to the Great Zhou Empire.

Besides resources, the Lei Family obtained the Great Chaos True Thunder Manual from the Spellbook of Emperor Tai that belonged to the Great Zhou Empire.

Lei Jie was the Lei Family’s most outstanding youth and of his generation, and he became one of the more prodigious individuals of the Great Zhou Empire’s younger generation. Besides the Great Chaos True Thunder Manual, he had had the chance to practice other mantras.

Lei Jie had the Nine Qi True Thunder Form, which was the most powerful physique for thunder-type mantras. His talent was astonishing, and he was well-known throughout the entire world. He was one of the only few whose reputations hadn’t been shadowed by the other new-generation youths from the Celestial Sect of Wonders or the Great Void Sect.

However, he hadn’t reached a level where Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu would look at him and Lei Lie in a different light.

According to Lin Feng’s knowledge, Lei Lie, Lei Jie and the entire Lei Family had been directed into Tianjing City by Liang Pan when Zhu Yi first announced his intention to travel towards Tianjing City. When Liang Pan and the Imperial Palace departed from Tianjing City, they hadn’t forgotten to bring the Lei Family along.

This level of emphasis was even more than some members of the Great Zhou’s royal family received.

The Lei Family, including Lei Jie, had had some entanglements with the Celestial Sect of Wonders before.

An outstanding individual in the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ second generation of disciples, Xiao Yan’s First Disciple from the Inferno Precipice, Tang Jun, was Lei Jie’s brother by blood. They shared the same parents, but one took the father’s surname while the other took the mother’s surname.

However, the relationship between these two brothers wasn’t friendly at all and could even be said to be filled with hatred and the desire for vengeance.

Everything stemmed from Tang Jun and Lei Jie’s father, Tang Wenhua. He had moved in with his wife, who was from the Lei Family, before he stole one of the Lei Family’s secret treasures before he vanished from the face of the earth.

In Lei Jie’s eyes, the only blemish of his otherwise impeccable life was his father who had stolen from his family and disappeared. On the other hand, Tang Jun’s very existence seemed to constantly remind him of this fact.

Tang Jun’s sudden rise in power from a life of peasantry triggered the Lei Family’s wrath and their eventual efforts to hunt and capture him. Their methods were brutal and cruel, to the point where their orders were to bring Tang Jun back dead or alive.

Lei Jie had also displayed an unprecedented state of an almost complete loss of control and insane rage and he personally ventured to hunt down Tang Jun. He didn’t intend to capture Tang Jun alive and all he wanted to do was wipe Tang Jun from the face of the earth and forced Tang Jun to run away to the ends of the earth.

This pursuit forced Tang Jun to escape towards the west and he eventually joined the Celestial Sect of Wonders, and thus ending this chapter of his life.

During the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ third mountain-opening ceremony, also known as the Spiritual Conference of Kunlun Mountains, the Lei Family had tagged along with the Great Zhou Empire to participate. Lei Lie had arrived before Lin Feng to request for Tang Jun’s return but Lin Feng declined.

The Lei Family had been stressed and restless over the years as they were afraid of the Celestial Sect of Wonders coming after them on Tang Jun’s behalf. However, it appeared as if both the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Tang Jun didn’t even bother about what happened before after he joined.

Still, Lei Lie and the other members of the Lei Family didn’t feel relaxed at all. According to Lin Feng’s typical way of doing things, he intended to wait for Tang Jun to grow up before he allowed Tang Jun to personally resolve the feuds and vengeances of his past.

Tang Jun’s growth over the years had caught the attention of the entire world. He was one of the most outstanding individuals of the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ second generation of disciples and he had long fallen into the field of vision of interested parties. For the Lei Family, these facts were like strikes on the bell of destiny that expedited their demise.

Following Tang Jun’s rise in mastery, some people from the Lei Family even thought about assassinating Tang Jun so that both parties would suffer together but the idea never came to fruition.

Tang Jun’s sudden change in physique was also because of his mysterious and missing father, Tang Wenhua.

According to Lin Feng’s estimations, when the Lei Family discovered his change in physique, their drastic decision was probably also closely connected to Tang Wenhua.

This seemingly normal person could bestow the Fire Lord Body upon Tang Jun and the Nine Qi True Thunder Form upon Lei Jie – this was such a world-defying event. The rate of success was extremely low and there was no wonder that Liang Pan and the Great Zhou Empire placed so much emphasis on the Lei Family.

Even though Lin Feng couldn’t see Lei Jie’s Potential and Talent points, Lin Feng believed that his Innate Ability points were the same as Tang Jun’s – nine points.

Lei Jie had displayed much more prodigious talents in his younger years compared to Tang Jun. However, after Tang Jun’s change in physique and the other circumstances, Lin Feng was almost completely sure that Lei Jie’s physique didn’t come with his birth and was created by Tang Wenhua.

The Great Zhou Empire and the Lei Family had been effortfully searching for Tang Wenhua in recent years, but to no avail.

Before Tang Jun could seek out the Lei Family, Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhoa, Yue Hongyan, Li Yuanfang and the others had already flattened the Great Zhou Empire.

If the Lei Family had been content with a small territory in some hidden corner, they would have been fine. However, Liang Pan hadn’t forgotten about the Lei Family and their connections with Tang Wenhua even under the dire circumstances that he was in and took them along when he left Tianjing City.

Liang Pan’s power hadn’t given the Lei Family much choice or room for doubt, while the Lei Family didn’t have much freedom of choice to begin with.

It wouldn’t be hard for them to choose between Tang Jun and Lei Jie oncem ore in today’s circumstances, and it wouldn’t be difficult to compensate Tang Jun either. However, the problem of Tang Wenhua had been a thorn in the Lei Family’s side from the beginning to the end, and whether or not Tang Jun would appreciate the thought was a different matter altogether.

In the end, ever since he was born and escape from the Lei Family, Tang Jun had never experienced a single ounce of warmth in the time he was there, and his best memories connected to the Lei Family were all not jovial events. At this moment, he no longer needed the Lei Family’s background and properties to develop.

The members of the Lei Family, including Lei Lie, were just watching Tang Jun before them with inscrutable expressions on their faces.

Xiao Yan was quietly sitting on the main seat and didn’t say anything. Tang Jun stood by his side as he gazed into the eyes of Lei Lie and the others. There wasn’t a trace of emotion on his face.

There was a youth standing beside Lei Lie. His facial features were more than sixty percent similar to Tang Jun’s, and his expression was equally calm with a tinge of graveness, and unyieldingness.

Lei Jie’s eyes were securely fixed upon Tang Jun and his eyes flowed with peculiar emotions.

Xiao Yan’s expression was still as serene as ever and he didn’t seem like he was about to speak. Lei Lie watched him and heaved a sigh as he withdrew all his emotions and expressions while he remained silent as well, and just watched the two brothers before him – Tang Jun and Lei Jie.
