Chapter 1377: On the Eve of Opening the Stone Statue

"Uh, but you don't need to be so angry; among us, as long as someone obtains the inheritance of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor and thus successfully ascends to Dou Emperor, we can then open the world passage and draw the source Qi from the Upper Realm to the Lower Realm. In that way, everyone can ascend to Dou Emperor."

Seeing the crowd's furious looks, Lin Feng immediately comforted, "Moreover, rather than wasting our breath here and ruining ourselves, we'd be better off discussing the next steps."

The others, hearing that, instantly thought the same.

After all, what happened before cannot be reversed; instead of staying angry, it's better to consider what comes next.

However, no one spoke up.

Zhu Kun's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he immediately asked, "Kid, didn't you just say that across this Dou Qi Continent there are Ascension Passages leading to the Upper Realm? Do you know their exact locations?"

As soon as he said that, the others were momentarily stunned.

But quickly, having grasped his intent, they all echoed, "That's right, Lin Feng, we're also very curious where exactly those Ascension Passages are."

Seeing this, Lin Feng's mouth twitched, and he simply spread his hands, shattering everyone's hopes.

"The other passages have long been destroyed; I have no knowledge of them. As for this Gu Nanfang Dalu, I do know the location of the Ascension Platform. However, that place is currently held by the Dou Emperor Ancestor of the Tongling Sect, who uses it and the surrounding area as a stronghold. If you are confident enough to defeat them and seize that Ascension Passage, you may do so."

At that point, Lin Feng swiftly turned to Zhu Kun and continued, "I think, father‑in‑law, when you went to the Tongling Sect's base, you must have seen that altar; that is the ancient Ascension Platform of the Southern Continent. If you want to try forcibly opening the Ascension Passage to draw the Upper Realm's source Qi down, you can give it a shot."

As soon as he said that, the people around them were instantly disheartened.

After all, some of them had personally witnessed Zhu Kun being beaten so badly that his mother wouldn't recognize him, and his humiliating retreat back into the inner pass.

They also know that Zhu Kun, who once reached the Nine‑Star Peak Dou Saint Realm, was brutally tormented by the other side as if he were a son.

And for us little scamps, going there would probably just be a suicide mission.

Therefore, everyone could only crush that hopeless idea in their minds.

As for Zhu Kun, after hearing Lin Feng name him directly, he awkwardly shrugged and muttered, "Hmph, this emperor is merely curious, just asking casually. Forcibly opening an Ascension Passage and drawing source Qi—I've never even considered it."

"Fine, you were just asking casually, right."

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng rolled his eyes, wearing a face that said everything was correct.

"By the way, Lin Feng, you mentioned earlier that when the original Dou Emperor masters left the Dou Qi Continent, the Ascension Passage was sealed. Could it be that some huge crisis occurred in the Upper Realm? If we later reopen the passage, might we get caught up in it?"

At that moment, Huang Tian, who had been quiet for a long time, saw his chance and asked.

Hearing this, the others were also taken aback, and a look of worry appeared on their faces.

After all, from Lin Feng's description, that so‑called Da Qian Shijie above is far more powerful than their Dou Qi Continent.

And if they rashly advance into the Da Qian Shijie's thorny crisis, might they…

Hearing that, Zhu Kun immediately agreed, "Exactly, Lin Feng, if we later open the world passage, could we encounter any danger?"

After all, considering that ten thousand years have passed since the world passage was created and it still hasn't been opened.

At this moment, either the Upper Realm's crisis hasn't been resolved, so no one has opened the passage.

Or the beings of the Upper Realm have forgotten their Dou Qi Continent, which is why the Ascension Passage remains sealed.

But thinking about it, the first possibility seems more likely.

After all, the chance that they forgot the Dou Qi Continent is, by any measure, smaller.

"There's no choice: either everyone completely gives up the chance for themselves and their descendants to ascend to Dou Emperor, or we risk opening the passage. It's a binary decision; it depends on what you think."

At that point, Lin Feng shrugged again and continued, "However, we still haven't obtained the inheritance of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, and the matter of ascending to Dou Emperor is still far off. I think it's more practical for everyone to discuss the current Tuoshe Ancient Emperor inheritance."

"Uh, that's not wrong."

Hearing that, the others all nodded in agreement.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Lin Feng immediately stopped the idle talk.

Then his expression hardened quickly, and he looked at the group, saying, "Now, the Nine Palace Empire‑Building Pill that can help breakthroughs has already been refined by me. All that's left is to open that stone statue and wait for the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor to select an inheritor. Before that, we can rest for a few days; three days later, those of us who are Seven‑Star and above Dou Saints should gather at Tian Mu to open the stone statue!"

"Alright."

Hearing that, Zhu Kun, Huang Tian and the others all nodded in response.

As soon as the words finished, the group immediately turned and flew away.

After all, with the stone statue about to be opened, they still needed to discuss things properly beforehand.

Seeing this, Lin Feng promptly looked at the women and said, "Follow me."

As the words rang out, his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

Shortly thereafter, the third tier of Tian Mu.

At this moment, this grayish space had recovered from the disturbances caused earlier by Lin Feng's refining of the Nine Palace Empire‑Building Pill.

Though the energy remained thin, the previous turbulence was gone, and it reverted to the silent, hushed micro‑world it once was.

However now, deep within this world, nearly sixty beautiful women of varied charms—including Zi Yan, Zhao Ran, Xiao Yixian, the three beauties of Dan Tower, and more than forty concubines—had gathered together.

As for Lin Feng, he stood among them.

After a long silence, having seen that everyone was present, he spoke, "Regarding this matter, the other circumstances need no further explanation from me. As for tomorrow's affairs, I don't have absolute certainty either, so now I decide that Ying Er, Chen Er, Xin Lan, Yun'er, and Zhao Sister—you five, together with your children and the other sisters who are not Seven‑Star Dou Saints—should leave the Dou Qi Continent and seek refuge outside."

"As for Xian Er, Qing Lin, Zi Yan, and Cai Lin—you four, come with me tomorrow for a trial. After all, the more people there are, the greater the chance that the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's inheritance will fall to our side."

"No problem!"

Hearing that, the three beauties of Dan Tower, Yun Yun, and Zhao Ran hesitated briefly, then finally nodded in agreement to his plan.

Although they didn't want to leave, given the current situation, staying here had no positive effect whatsoever.

On the contrary, they might become burdens to their men, potentially causing trouble.

Therefore, rather than staying here to cause mischief, they'd rather honestly depart for a while.

As for the concubines led by Han Su, they looked at Lin Feng with curious faces.

After all, they still know nothing about the Rift Spike and the Void Boat.

Hearing this suddenly, they were naturally puzzled yet a bit amazed.

Lin Feng, seeing this, promptly explained roughly everything inside the black‑and‑white iron box to the women.

And the concubines led by Han Su, upon hearing this, were shocked to learn.

It turned out that their husband still possessed such a heaven‑defying opportunity.

It turns out to be a supreme treasure that can cross the universe and travel to other worlds!

However, Lin Feng did not waste much time on this matter.

After arranging this, he smiled, stretched out his hand, pulled the nearest Colorful Scale and Xian Er into his arms, and with a mischievous grin said, "Ladies, I've been swamped lately and have neglected you all. Now I have some time, so this time I'll indulge you properly."

Speaking so, Lin Feng's palm unkindly rose to the tops of the two women's bodies.

But soon the two women exchanged a glance, then almost simultaneously extended their jade hands to stop his move.

Then, in his puzzled stare, the two laughed, "Husband, you've been busy up front; this time, the more than fifty of us sisters will take turns on our own initiative."

As soon as the words fell, the two women shredded their clothes and leapt forward with laughter.

Hehe, the emperor has arrived!

Seeing this, Zi Yan immediately tore off the obstructing cloth and rushed in.

Hehe, husband, we're here!

As for the other more than fifty women, they each followed suit, discarded their weapons, and lined up in a long queue.

Xian Er, Colorful Scale, you're despicable, playing a multi‑vs‑one wheel battle!

Amid the powder, Lin Feng's muffled voice echoed endlessly through the space.

But soon he immediately launched a resolute counterattack.

Alright, although these counterattacks were all blocked by the women.

At least it proves he once resisted the women.

With both sides unleashing full power, for a moment they were evenly matched.

In an instant, this tranquil little world erupted into relentless artillery fire, thunderous and unending, shaking heaven and earth and moving spirits.

Yet, inexplicably, despite being outnumbered, Lin Feng still enjoyed himself.

This scene was truly strange and baffling.

Although the women relied on their numbers to launch the attack, their losses were also considerable.

Every so often, a woman would fall helplessly from the sky and could only recuperate on the ground.

It seems Lin Feng truly was resisting the enemy's assault with all his might.

Cao Ying, Yun'er, for these sisters of yours, please watch over them; after all, the four of you are the strongest. And although the items in the box are said to let people stay safely in the universe, you still need to stay vigilant, understand?

After several days inside Tian Mu, following the ceasefire, Lin Feng hugged the frail Cao Ying and Yun Yun, whispering.

While speaking, his large hands continued to roam over Yun Yun's voluptuous and Cao Ying's well‑shaped bodies, conquering territory.

As for the two women, their faces flushed and breathing heavily, they gave a slightly dazed nod, indicating they understood.

After just enduring a great battle, they were completely exhausted, even raising a single finger was difficult.

Therefore, they naturally lacked the energy to answer their man's question.

But Lin Feng didn't mind; instead, he wore a smug smile.

After all, during this half‑month in Tian Mu, he had consecutively defeated all his wives and concubines.

Even later, when the opponent dragged Gu Xun'er, Mystic Robe, and Lei Qian onto the battlefield, it still could not change their defeat.

Heh heh, thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but grin smugly.

Only about sixty people, yet they dare to fight Lin Feng?

Not to mention your few; even ten thousand more wouldn't scare him!

After all, Blue Star has a hundred thousand descendants; this Dou Qi continent must also have a Lin Ten‑Thousand.

Thinking this, Lin Feng immediately wore a proud expression.

But realizing the appointed time with others was approaching, he painfully let go of the two women whose legs were growing weak.

Then he spoke, "Ladies, the time to open the stone statue is approaching; quickly prepare to retreat. Also, bring them along as well."

Later, Lin Feng didn't forget to point at Gu Xun'er, Mystic Robe, and Lei Qian resting on the ground below.

After all, among the three, one was pregnant with her own child, and the other two were seasoned women, all exceedingly fertile.

Under the given conditions, he certainly was reluctant to give up.

As for the Yan Tribe Fire Spirit that hadn't tasted anything yet, Lin Feng also sent a message, inviting it here.

At the same time, his voice, empowered by Dou Qi, slowly spread throughout the third level of Tian Mu.

Upon hearing this, the women quickly propped themselves up, using Dou Qi to fashion their own garments, then prepared themselves.

As for Lin Feng, after seeing no issues, he then gave a few instructions to the Dan Tower Three Beauties, Yun Yun, and Zhao Sister.

Zhao Sister, recalling the incident, immediately pursed her lips and rushed forward to embrace the man before her.

"Zhao Sister, be good; this matter isn't a big deal—at worst we'll just leave the Dou Qi continent together for another world, and it won't harm our lives."

Seeing Zhao Sister, the tear‑eyed seasoned woman, hug him, Lin Feng immediately embraced her plump, soft body and whispered comfort.

"Hmm."

Hearing that, Zhao Sister promptly nodded.

However, her jade‑like arms did not let go of Lin Feng.

The other women nearby, seeing this, seemed infected by the atmosphere and one by one stepped forward, their faces showing sorrow.

Lin Feng, seeing this, felt helpless, gently persuaded Zhao Sister to step back, then approached again and soothed each woman in turn.

Even the concubines were treated the same way.

As for Gu Xun'er, while holding her, Lin Feng whispered, "Xun'er, don't worry; if the chance arises, I'll avenge your father."

Because she bore his child, he also concealed the details of Gu Yuan's death, soothing the continent's foremost beauty before him.

After all, if she found out and perished together with the child, what then?

Unaware of this, Gu Xun'er, upon hearing that he would oppose the equal‑rank Soul Heaven Emperor for her, saw a flash of something different in his eyes.

Then she gritted her teeth and said, "If this time you truly slay that Soul Heaven Emperor to avenge my father and clan, I, Gu Xun'er, will spend the rest of my life with you. I can't promise anything else, but in body and conduct I will fulfill a wife's duties."

Hehe, I don't care about that, after all, I'm keeping you just because of the child and because your body lets me feel good enough. Besides that, emmm, as long as you're willing. Anyway, if you truly willingly serve me, then I won't lose out.

Hearing that, Lin Feng spread his hands, feeling indifferent.

However, on the surface he was overjoyed, tightly embracing Gu Xun'er and exclaimed excitedly: "Xun'er, since you've said that, rest assured—if I can break through to Dou Emperor this time, I will surely annihilate the Soul Heaven Emperor!"

Seeing that, Gu Xun'er also smiled and lightly touched Lin Feng's lips, then softly said: "Then I and the child will be waiting for your good news."

In their words, there was nothing but urging Lin Feng to go to war with the Soul Heaven Emperor.

As for the other women around, upon learning that Gu Xun'er was kept in the dark, they all sneered inwardly and then chose to remain silent.

After all, while Gu Xun'er was still in the Gu Clan, she had often caused trouble for them.

Even several times, she nearly took their lives.

Now that their men have finally gotten revenge, only if their brains were faulty would they go remind Gu Xun'er that she had been deceived.

Afterwards, Lin Feng chatted with the women for a while.

Immediately afterward, as he saw them off, the Three Beauties of the Dan Tower, Yun Yun, and Zhao Ran led a group of women away from the Tian Mu.

Seeing that, Lin Feng immediately turned his head and said to the four women remaining beside him: "Let's go."

As he spoke, his figure gradually turned illusory.

Meanwhile, as the crowd disappeared, the once bustling Tian Mu space fell silent once again.

Only a large amount of torn cloth and a mess left behind by the people remained, describing the fierceness of the battle that had taken place here. (End of Chapter)

Only the massive torn cloth the crowd left behind and a scene of wreckage remain, recounting the former battle's ferocity (End of chapter)
