History's Number 1 Founder

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Gu Jun and Gu Yuankai were grateful that Lin Feng and Xiao Yan didn't upstage the host, but they wouldn't do nothing in return.

The entire world knew about the Ancients' mastery in the art of pill-forging, taken after the original Emperor of the Ancients.

Most people just didn't know about their existence. Ever since the Ancients participated in the War of the Two Worlds and reentered everyone's vision, everybody instantly called their amazing accomplishments in the art of forging pills.

And now, both Gu Jun and Gu Yuankai endorsed the Celestial Heavenmystic Golden Pill, shocking the world once more.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders' immense power left the entire world behind in its wake. The world gradually became a little numb to it, and every subsequent success achieved by the Celestial Sect of Wonders had become something normative and nothing out of the ordinary. Rather, the world would only be astonished if the Celestial Sect of Wonders tripped or stumbled.

Still, this piece of news still shocked many as it spread around.

This sect had only been around for a short while, but they displayed stunning and flourishing vitality - nobody could condescend them or overlook them for their depth and substance anymore.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders didn't just prove their worth in strength and influence. They had shown development, substance and stellar performance in many aspects and they were no longer shallow like others had suggested.

A powerful leader and a mighty emergence sometimes gave people a feeling that they would decline once they reached the top of the cycle, much like a shooting star suddenly plummeting towards the ground.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders before this gave many people the very same feeling.

However, ever since the Ying Sea ended up in Lin Feng's hands and Zhu Yi's Knowledge Palace traversing the across the entire world, in addition to Xiao Yan's invention of the Celestial Heavenmystic Golden Pill and whatnot, the Celestial Sect of Wonders' foundations had become incredibly thick and solid.

They were soaring through the clouds and above everyone else before everything, but they gave a people a shallow feeling and without substance. Now, they were of indomitable spirit and they extended across the heavens and the earth. The Celestial Sect of Wonders were being held in increasingly high regard, and they were becoming increasingly unassailable.

Superior beings were easy targets for criticism and jealousy. This statement was true, but the Celestial Sect of Wonders no longer needed to mask or hide anything. It didn't matter if they placed everything on display for the world to see.

Envy and jealousy for the higher beings would gradually disappear when the gap became too great, and everything would become admiration, longing and fellowship.

Lin Feng and Xiao Yan didn't make it explicit during this congratulatory outing, but they had achieved a tacit understanding with Gu Jun.

Even though the wedding date wasn't fixed, Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhener's marriage was bound to happen.

Xiao Yan smiled foolishly and laughed like an idiot when he was by himself during their journey back, and this amused and annoyed Lin Feng at the same time.

They didn't stay too long inside Longevity City and took their leave immediately after paying their congratulations and compliments.

The Ancients' return to the Divine Lands had far-reaching implications for the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the Great Void Sect, the Mount Shu Sword Sect and other powers. If Gu Jun and company wanted to reintegrate into the Divine Lands' human cultivation world, they would have to plot and scheme and employ both hard and soft power.

Amongst the powers that were friendly with the Celestial Sect of Wonders, there were some who established communication with the Ancients while others perceived them with hostility.

Xiao Yan prepared to proceed directly into the Celestial Golden Pavilion after returning to Mount Yujing. He wanted to continue manufacturing more Celestial Heavenmystic Golden Pills, and he also wanted to continue refining the pill formula.

This pill would be extremely beneficial for the Celestial Sect of Wonders' disciples when they were forming the spiritual altar.

This was so even if one didn't consider the effects of raising spiritual altar tiers, as the boost in intelligence and understanding of Dao were already incredibly valuable.

Excluding the Supreme Intelligence Divine Pill, which was extremely hard to manufacture due to the materials required, the Celestial Heavenmystic Golden Pill and the Trāyastriṃśa Elixir of Creation both increased intelligence as well and both pills could be used together to produce multiplied effects.

The Celestial Sect of Wonders were developing at breakneck speed. Perhaps that was a bit of an exaggeration, but the speed at which their potentials were realized and converted into actual strength and influence were truly dazzling.

The Celestial Heavenmystic Golden Pill was considered a priceless treasure to others outside the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Many disciples from even the Great Void Sect coveted it, let alone those from the other miscellaneous sects and powers.

However, just before he stepped into the Celestial Golden Pavilion, Xiao Yan's eyebrows began to twitch. "Has Huang Zhenting returned to the mountain? He seems to have brought a powerful demon with him. This demon's aura feels unfamiliar - I don't think I've ever encountered such a demon before."

The Wasteland Valley was full of commotion at this moment. The Wasteland Valley's disciples and the many demon races that resided in the region were all gathered in a circle and everybody was curiously staring at a strange giant beast in the center.

There was a youth standing beside the strange beast - it was Huang Zhenting. He turned towards Zhuge Wanqiu and said, "Do you recognize this beast, senior sister?"

Zhuge Wanqiu inspected the beast and shook her head after a while. "I have never seen it before…"

The Kui Cow King sneezed beside Zhuge Wanqiu and turned towards the Nine-Talons Condor King beside him. "Condor King, this is…"

The Nine-Talons Condor King shook his head as well. "I have never seen this before inside the Barren Expanses or inside the Divine Lands. I haven't even heard of such a being before."

The Feilian King, the Flying Snow Plume King and the other demon races were equally baffled.

Zhuge Wanqiu hesitated momentarily and said, "It looks gentle and tender. I don't think it's hostile, but it's in the demonic lord advanced stage judging by the ripples of demonic power…"

A small girl with hair like white frost stood beside her, and it was her disciple Ye Xinxuan. She looked up and down at the peculiar beast before her as she shook her master's sleeve softly. "Master, this demon looks so cute."

"Even though it's enormous, it still looks cute."

The younger disciples from the Celestial Sect of Wonders subconsciously nodded their heads at the same time as they heard her words. This was especially so for the female disciples, and everybody revealed the similar sentiments.

However, everybody raised their guards the moment Ye Xinxuan spoke, in case the giant beast before them suddenly turned hostile.

In the end, nobody had seen this demon before. Even though it appeared a little stoned, it was still a powerful demon in the demonic lord advanced stage. If it was infuriated by Ye Xinxuan and went hysterical, Ye Xinxuan wouldn't be able to defend herself and Zhuge Wanqiu, Huang Zhenting and the Nine-Talons Condor King had to help out.

Everybody was proven wrong, however. The powerful demon understood Ye Xinxuan's words and casually glanced in her direction. It was still as stoned as ever as if it was daydreaming, and it was just prostrate on the floor. It was so lazy that it didn't move an inch.

Huang Zhenting chuckled and said, "This guy is truly lackadaisical, and he's also extremely lazy. He eats a lot but never works, and he won't be angered if nobody attacks him."

"Master entered the Void Battleground to find grand senior Shi, and accidentally discovered a middle world. The middle world is populated by demons like this, but there aren't that many of them and their standards are different."

"Master has eaten more demons than most of us have seen before, but even he has never seen nor heard of this demon before." Huang Zhenting was all smiles, but the Nine-Talons Condor King, the Kui Cow King, the Feilian King and the other demons around shivered subconsciously at the same time and everyone shot an annoyed look at Huang Zhenting.

Huang Zhenting didn't seem to notice. He had followed Shi Tianhao in and out the Barren Expanses over the years, and he took after his master - he couldn't even count the number of times that he had eaten demon flesh.

"Master captured the most powerful demon and brought him back into the mountain for the Founder to see. Perhaps the Founder can recognize this demon," Huang Zhenting continued, "I observed him for a while and it's nice to be around him. Just as Yuan Shuang has said, this guy is pretty damn cute."

He paused momentarily. "I just don't how he tastes like."

Zhuge Wanqiu and the other female disciples glared at Huang Zhenting and immediately expressed their disapproval.

The powerful demon casually glanced at Huang Zhenting before it grunted softly and turned away towards somewhere else.

The Nine-Talons Condor King said, "The Huangtian Emperor didn't take this demon to the slaughter to see how he tastes like?"

This was completely unlike Shi Tianhao.

Huang Zhenting replied, "Master had an important clue in his search for grand senior Shi. He was in a hurry, so he didn't stay for too long. He left a mark in the space so that I can bring it back for the Founder."

Everybody nodded their heads in unison. Yes, that was how Shi Tianhao did things.

In his eyes, there was only tasty and not tasty - there wasn't cute and not cute, or edible and inedible.

Zhuge Wanqiu, Ye Xinxuan and the others were exasperated about the truth of this fact.

Zhuge Wanqiu passed a voice-projected message to her father, Zhuge Zhan, before she presented an image for him so that Zhuge Zhan could also see how this demon looked like.

Zhuge Zhan had traveled across the world and he had seen many things. Zhuge Zhan expressed his amazement at the sight of this demon, and confessed that he had never seen such a thing before.

Sun Xue'er and Ke Jingwen were extremely close to Zhuge Wanqiu, and they both came forward to see this powerful demon when they heard the news. Both of them found it cute, but neither recognized it and they respectively passed a message to Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan to inquire, yet neither of their masters had seen it before as well.

They heard that Xiao Yan had returned to the mountain, so they visited the Inferno Precipice to seek out Xiao Yan's mount. Xiao Yan's mount was the Distant Star White Tiger, also the daughter of the White Tiger Grand Sage, and they requested her to ask the White Tiger Grand Sage.

The White Tiger Grand Sage had resided within the Barren Expanses for many years, but he looked at this lazy and pudgy demon before him with a face of confoundment.

Huang Zhenting clapped his hands. "Alright, that's enough. I will send this lazy piece of shit to the Founder so that he can take a look."

With that, he took the powerful demon out of the Wasteland Valley, across the Rainbow Clouds Bridge and to the summit of Mount Yujing.

"Founder, what's the identity of this bear-like demon with black and white fur?" Huang Zhenting asked curious as he arrived before Lin Feng.

A Bear with black and white fur?

The corner of Lin Feng's mouth twitched. He was expressionless, but he felt as if a million goats and camels were trampling over his heart.

Even though it was a lot bigger, but the black and white fur color, its round face, the large dark circles around its eyes, its fat body, its thick and short limbs, its knock-knee gait, its slow and lazy movements - how could Lin Feng not recognize it?

But now, there was only one thought in Lin Feng's mind as he stared at this thing before him.
