"That's not necessarily true. Lin Feng has been improving at lightning speed. Three years ago, he couldn't even defeat Lord Blood Demon, but three years later, he fought Lord Blood Li to a draw. Give him another three years, and he might break through to true god."
"Break through to true god? How could it be that easy? How many true gods has our Blood God Sect produced in tens of thousands of years? What makes a rogue cultivator from the lower realm like him qualified? If reaching true god were that easy, we'd have become true gods long ago."
"True enough. Forget it. Their affairs are none of our business. We just need to keep a close watch on the God Crystals. If this shipment goes missing, we'll lose our heads too."
Lin Feng's interest stirred. God Crystals? This shipment of God Crystals? Could they be smuggling them?
Without alerting them, he quietly circled around. After another half day of travel, he finally emerged from the Heavenly Break Mountain Range and entered the Central Region.
The scenery in the Central Region was entirely different from that of the Eastern Region. The sky was higher, the land broader, and the Spiritual Energy denser. A faint pressure permeated the air—the lingering auras of countless powerful cultivators. Even the wild grass beside the road contained rich Spiritual Energy, making it more precious than the Spirit Medicine of the Eastern Region. In the distance, cities rose from the earth, banners fluttering atop their walls. Their prosperity far surpassed anything in the Eastern Region.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and felt refreshed in body and mind. Rather than rushing to seek out the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Great Void Palace, he first found a small town to stay in and gather information.
