163: Heavenly Oath

Ling Xiaotian felt the unprecedentedly smooth flow of Yuan Magnetic Divine Light within his body, and the euphoria of breaking free from his shackles made his entire being tremble slightly.

He looked at Lin Feng, his eyes filled with an unprecedented intensity and excitement.

This freedom, like a fish leaping in the vast ocean or a bird soaring in the high sky, was something he hadn't experienced for hundreds of years.

Lin Feng watched his excited demeanor, a smile still on his face.

"Since Ling Daoyou has confirmed it, let's seize the time."

His words were calm, but they instantly froze Ling Xiaotian's euphoria.

"This mountain is only temporarily lent for your use."

The expression on Ling Xiaotian's face froze. He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and turned to look at Warm Qing beside him, his voice urgent.

"Qing'er, come and try it quickly!"

He handed over the Magnetic Divine Mountain in his hand.

Warm Qing took the ancient, small mountain. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, and a strange sensation surged into her heart.

She closed her eyes and extended a trace of Law into it.

Buzz!

Warm Qing's body trembled violently. The invisible shackles that had clung to her for hundreds of years, firmly pinning her Divine Soul and Physical Body in Tianxing City, loosened with a rumble at this moment.

She opened her beautiful eyes, and for the first time, an uncontrollable joy appeared in those eyes that were usually as cold as frost.

Lin Feng watched the changing expressions of the two and spoke at the opportune moment.

"Now that you both believe I can remove your restraints and extend your lifespans..."

"Shouldn't the content of this Heavenly Dao oath be decided soon?"

His voice pulled the Twin Saints back to reality from their joy of regaining freedom.

Ling Xiaotian and Warm Qing exchanged glances. The joy on their faces faded, replaced by a complex and awkward expression.

The two of them, by prior agreement, circulated their secret techniques and communicated rapidly with Divine Thought.

"Qing'er, what should we do? Do we really have to serve this person as our master?"

"Xiaotian, do you think we have any other choice? Extending our lifespan by a hundred years and breaking free from our restraints—either of these is enough for us to gamble everything."

"But serving him as master... I, Ling Xiaotian, have dominated the Chaotic Star Sea for hundreds of years. How can I be subservient to anyone? Moreover, Jade Spirit, she..."

"Let's stabilize him first. There's still room for discussion on this matter. His goal doesn't seem to be truly humiliating us."

After a brief exchange, Warm Qing stepped forward, becoming the one to speak.

She bowed slightly to Lin Feng, her expression solemn.

"Fellow Daoist possesses immense Divine Ability. My Dao Companion and I are sincerely convinced and are willing to obey Fellow Daoist's commands."

She changed the subject, a hint of negotiation in her tone.

"It's just... the phrase 'serve you as master' concerns the ten-thousand-year reputation of my Star Palace. Can it be changed?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng stroked his chin.

He wasn't necessarily fixated on that title. Having two old monsters, whose ages combined were over a thousand, call him 'master' every day did feel a bit strange.

Moreover, these two would be his in-Laws in the future.

"Oh? Then, according to Wen Daoyou, how should it be changed?"

Warm Qing felt a sense of relief when she saw there was room for discussion.

"Fellow Daoist can openly be the Grand Elder of my Star Palace and secretly be the Lord of my Star Palace. My Dao Companion and I are willing to swear that everyone in Star Palace will obey Fellow Daoist's commands."

"And Fellow Daoist must guarantee to completely resolve the hidden danger of the Magnetic Divine Mountain for us and provide three Blood Qi Pills to each of us."

She paused, took a deep breath, and stated the last condition, which was also the most painful for her.

"Additionally, I, Warm Qing, am willing to personally arrange for my daughter, Jade Spirit, to marry Fellow Daoist."

Ling Xiaotian's fists clenched instantly inside his sleeves.

He felt his heart bleeding.

The dignified Star Palace Twin Saints, the Supreme beings of the Chaotic Star Sea, were now reduced to sacrificing their daughter's happiness to ensure the continuation of their Sect and their own longevity.

What a failure of a father he was!

Lin Feng listened and was quite satisfied with this outcome.

Becoming the Lord of Star Palace, with a legitimate title, was much more convenient than being a hidden manipulator.

Without waiting for the Twin Saints to regret their decision, Lin Feng waved his sleeve.

"Since the discussion is settled, let's change location and completely conclude this battle."

A gentle yet irresistible spatial power instantly swept over the two of them.

The suspended immortal island and the sea of clouds in front of them rapidly blurred, transforming into streaks of light that receded.

In just a blink of an eye,

When Ling Xiaotian and Warm Qing could clearly see their surroundings again, they were already above an uninhabited ocean.

Beneath their feet was a surging sea, and behind them was the now somewhat distant outline of Tianxing City.

This... this was long-distance teleportation, carrying two people!

The Twin Saints' hearts trembled. The slight resistance they had just felt towards the Heavenly Dao oath's content instantly vanished.

This level of mastery over the Law of space had completely surpassed the scope of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

"There are no Cultivators within a thousand miles here. You two can go all out."

Lin Feng's calm voice resounded in their ears.

The two looked up.

They saw a wisp of flame, tinged with faint golden light within a deep blue, quietly emerge from Lin Feng's fingertip.

He gently blew a breath towards the sea below.

Whoosh—

The wisp of flame fell onto the sea. Instead of extinguishing, it seemed to ignite the entire ocean.

An bone-chilling cold spread wildly, and the sea surface froze at a visible speed.

Crack! Crack!

Countless enormous ice crystals rose from the ground, rapidly condensing and shaping in the air.

In an instant, a magnificent, ferocious ice throne, emanating endless cold Qi, solidified in mid-air.

Lin Feng's figure flickered, and he was already seated on the throne, his arms resting on the armrests, his eyes indifferently looking down at the two below.

The anger that Ling Xiaotian had just suppressed was reignited by Lin Feng's matter-of-fact demeanor as a palace lord.

He was already putting on such airs even before the Heavenly Dao oath was established!

Who was he trying to humiliate!

"Brother Qinglian, be careful!"

Ling Xiaotian roared in fury, no longer suppressing himself.

His internal Law erupted with a bang, and a secret technique was forcibly activated by him. His body glowed with starlight as brilliant as a scorching sun, and his aura surged, as if he wanted to regain some face before swearing the oath.

Seeing this, Warm Qing sighed in her heart.

She knew her Dao Companion's temper; persuasion was useless now.

Very well, let this person witness the might of the Star Palace Twin Saints when they join forces!

She no longer hesitated and likewise ignited her secret technique.

A clear, cold full moon rose behind her. Its moonlight was like water, yet it carried a killing intent that could freeze the Divine Soul.

For a time, the auras of the Twin Saints simultaneously surged, infinitely approaching the legendary Soul Transformation Stage.

This place was not too far from Tianxing Island, and the two could still draw a trace of power from the island's grand formation.

Coupled with the true Magnetic Divine Mountain that Lin Feng had lent them!

It could be said that at this moment, the Star Palace Twin Saints were at their most powerful period in their lives!

Ling Xiaotian held the ancient, small mountain in one hand, feeling the Yuan Magnetic Divine Power contained within it, which was a hundred times purer and more profound than the combined power of the two of them. An unprecedented surge of heroism filled his heart.

He even had the illusion that at this moment, he alone was enough to fight and kill those two old monsters from the righteous and demonic Dao.

But when his gaze fell upon the figure on the ice-sealed throne, the arrogance in his heart was forcibly suppressed.

He dared not show the slightest contempt.

"Qing'er, attack!"

Ling Xiaotian roared, and he and Warm Qing simultaneously poured all their life's Law frantically into the Magnetic Divine Mountain in their hands.

Buzz—!

The palm-sized small mountain erupted with light, instantly expanding to a thousand feet in size, suspended above their heads.

On the mountain body, countless mysterious runes flowed, and the almost infinite Yuan Magnetic Divine Light contained within it boiled completely under the activation of their Cultivation Technique!

"Yuan Magnetic... Divine Destruction Light!"

Ling Xiaotian and Warm Qing roared in unison.

An unprecedented terrifying beam of light, which almost dyed the entire sky black, shot out from the bottom of the Magnetic Divine Mountain with a thunderous roar.

Wherever the beam passed, space shattered inch by inch, and the seawater below was instantly vaporized, forming a huge vacuum.

Its power had completely reached the full-strength strike of a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator!

The tiny ice throne, in front of this world-destroying beam of light, was like a small boat about to be swallowed by a storm.

On the throne,

Lin Feng raised his eyelids, feeling the terrifying pressure that could crush everything.

The indifference on his face finally faded.

In its place was a solemnity he hadn't shown in a long time.
