I Cultivate Passively

Chapter 259 The Southern Sea?

After briefly tidying up the scene, Zhou Feng continued walking forward.

‘What’s going on? Why does my mind feel uneasy the more I walk toward Heavenly Star City?’

This feeling was not an illusion but an extremely clear feeling.

Zhou Feng trusted his intuition, but he had to make a trip to Star City.

He had promised Li Rong that he would return and look for her before leaving Heavenly Star City again.

Moreover, he still had a chance to be reborn.

The danger shouldn’t be too great!

His only enemy seemed to be the Bai Clan, one of the four great clans in Heavenly Star City. The other forces basically posed no threat to him.

At present, even the Bai Clan had to think twice before dealing with him.

Zhou Feng reached Heavenly Star City again after a few days.

Heavenly Star City was still as majestic as before, giving people a sense of peace.

After staying in a chaotic place like the Demons’ territory, Zhou Feng could feel the true meaning of human order.

“Zhou Feng? Could it be him?”

“Is he the successor of the Human Emperor that Holy Maiden Green Lotus mentioned?”

“At first glance, he does look a bit like him. I didn’t expect that the successor of the Human Emperor would emerge from our Southern Border!”

“He is indeed worthy of being the successor of the Human Emperor!”

Zhou Feng planned to sneak into Heavenly Star City, so he didn’t expect to be recognized at the first moment.

Moreover, he could feel many restless auras around him, and more gazes were fixed on him.

‘What’s going on? The successor of the Human Emperor? What has happened!?’

This turn of events surprised Zhou Feng.

He was a vagabond cultivator, so logically, they should have stopped paying attention to him after his brief disappearance.

But looking at the situation, this didn’t seem to have any effect.

Zhou Feng decided that he didn’t need to stay in Heavenly Star City any longer.

When the time came, he would find a time to continue training in other big cities!

But before that, he still had to meet Li Rong and the Qian father and daughter.

Furthermore, he had to go to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion to clean up the inventory and ask if there was any follow-up news on the Human Emperor Scripture.

Although he had failed to avoid the limelight, Zhou Feng did not care too much about it. In any case, if he was not wrong, this was his last time coming to Heavenly Star City.

Many people saw Zhou Feng walking toward the inner city with an expressionless face, and heated discussions broke out.

“Is this person the successor of the Human Emperor?”

“He should be! After all, the Green Lotus Sect has verified it! You also know that Reverend Green Lotus is an ex-disciple of that sect in the Central Plains!”

“That’s right! Only these lunatics would continue to study the Human Emperors tirelessly!”

“The times have changed now. The Human Emperors may have been the top figures back then, but now…”

Zhou Feng had become a topic of discussion in Heavenly Star City largely because the Holy Maiden Green Lotus had revealed that fact.

Almost every once in a while, a so-called successor of the Human Emperor would appear.

Take note! The successor of the Human Emperor did not refer to one person in particular but a group of people.

And the division was not too strict.

But one thing was certain, all the successors of the Human Emperor would carry a trace of the first Human Emperor’s destiny.

This was the key factor in determining whether or not one was a successor of the Human Emperor.

Destiny!

This was an illusory thing that even Divine Ability experts could pry into.

Nonetheless, it was something that all the major factions were pursuing.

This kind of mysterious thing was only recorded in the records of those ancient sects.

No one knew what these ancient factions were trying to do.

In any case, as long as they knew, every time the successor of the Human Emperor appeared, it would stir up countless storms.

Some people wanted to expunge the Human Emperor’s destiny completely.

Some people wanted to assist the person with the Human Emperor’s destiny in pursuing the Dao and benefit in the process.

Naturally, the myriad races were extremely against the so-called successor of the Human Emperor. Their lifetime goal was to find a way to kill the person with the Human Emperor’s destiny.

Now, Zhou Feng was caught in this whirlpool because he cultivated the Human Emperor Scripture, and his body carried a trace of the Human Emperor’s destiny.

This trace of the Human Emperor’s destiny was the beginning of Zhou Feng’s troubles.

“This way, please!”

Zhou Feng entered a private room under the guidance of the maid of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

When he entered the city, the first thing he did was to head to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

sure

Li Rong was still in the Li Clan, so he couldn’t enter. Hence, he decided to meet her at the Heaven Treasure Pavilion.

He could also take advantage of the time before Li Rong arrived to deal with some matters at the Heaven Treasure Pavilion.

Elder Zheng rushed through the door and said, “I haven’t seen you for a while! You really gave me a big surprise!”

Elder Zheng’s expression was complicated.

Initially, he had just wanted to invest in a young man with potential so that his clan would be more stable in the future.

However, he didn’t expect Zhou Feng to make such a big splash without uttering a single word.

The successor of the Human Emperor!

Elder Zheng was familiar with some insider information, so he didn’t dare ask Zhou Feng to take care of his clan anymore.

If Zhou Feng was involved in it, then his clan would be done for!

“What big surprise?” Zhou Feng was a little confused.

“Forget it. Anyway, you should be more careful in the future. There’s also the follow-up to the Human Emperor Scripture. I already have news here!”

Elder Zheng didn’t want to say more than needed and just reminded Zhou Feng to be more careful.

Given the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s influence and resources, they found information about the Human Emperor Scripture. They had spent some effort, though, because few people paid attention to the Human Emperor Scripture, which couldn’t be cultivated.

“Oh?”

Zhou Feng’s eyes lit up when he heard about the Human Emperor Scripture.

He did not care about other things.

Anyway, other things did not concern him as long as he was not provoked.

Zhou Feng did not care about the turmoil in the outside world at all, nor did he want to understand what was happening.

However, as long as one provoked him, he would cut the Gordian Knot and squash his opponents!

Zhou Feng’s attitude was as simple as thatstraightforward.

Elder Zheng hesitated for a moment before divulging the location’s information. “It’s located on an island in the Southern Sea. But that’s the Southern Sea Dragons’ territory. And you…”

At the same time, he warned Zhou Feng because that was the Southern Sea Dragons’ territory.

And not long ago, the Southern Sea Dragons had suffered a great loss at Holy Maiden Green Lotus’ hands.

And then there was Zhou Feng’s identity as the successor of the Human Emperor.

If he were to go to the Southern Sea, it would be too dangerous!

‘The Southern Sea?’

Zhou Feng did not take Elder Zheng’s words to heart. Instead, he looked at the map that Elder Zheng had taken out.

The location on the map was actually in the same direction as the land of heritage that Zhou Feng had obtained from the Human Emperor Ring.

‘Could it be the same place?’

If that were the case, he would have to make a trip to the Southern Sea regardless of whether it was dangerous or not.

Since he was already cultivating the Human Human Emperor Scripture, there was no turning back. It was impossible to pick another cultivation technique.
