Chapter 19: The First Person of Three Generations

  New book on the rise, Idle Cloud begs for recommendation votes support!

  And without mentioning the extraordinary thoughts of Sheng Qi, in front of the crystal stele, Chu Lin's hands slowly retracted, and amidst a burst of exclamations, the purple glow on the crystal stele finally dissipated, leaving the crowd with endless admiration.

  The three generations of family members who were previously making a ruckus, calling each other "little trash", had completely lost their previous arrogance and even deliberately avoided Chu Linfeng's gaze, hiding in the crowd.

  Those who can set foot on the path of cultivation are mostly extremely sensitive, and now Chu Linfeng's strength, which is already at the sixth heaven, is placed in front of him. At the age of 15, he has achieved such achievements, even among the young generation of the five major sects of Daozong, it can be considered top-notch. Many people present unconsciously thought of these and speculated that after this, Chu Linfeng would become a figure who could turn the tide in the Xuan Yuan Sect.

  In these two years, those who had often deceived Chu Linfeng now regretted it so much that they wished this re-cultivated genius of the sect would not remember their faces.

  With a sweep of his gaze, after two years, Chu Linfeng finally saw the look of reverence in others' eyes again. At this moment, Chu Linfeng felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation, and this feeling of raising his eyebrows and exhaling was truly exhilarating.

  "Master, I understand now. Enduring humiliation is not the right way to go about it. This is a world where might makes right and only the strong are respected. If you don't want to be bullied, you must constantly become stronger and possess abilities that others can't match!"

  Divine consciousness transmitted, in the purple mansion of Chu Linfeng, Zhao Lie's figure condensed and appeared. "It's good that you can understand thoroughly, don't forget to make a gesture as I taught you."

  "Uh-huh."

  Although he didn't understand why Zhao Lie was so keen on making him make such a strange gesture towards Xu Shengqi, Chu Linfeng still did it.

  Under the gaze of thousands, Chu Linfeng's eyes shone with a cold light as he stared at Xu Shengqi, who was gritting his teeth in the distance. He stretched out his right arm and raised one middle finger towards the latter, then slowly turned it around to point at the ground.

  A simple gesture, yet it contained numerous overbearing and disdainful connotations. Even the Transcendent True Person on the high platform couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart at this profound and unfathomable hand movement. The three great elders also simultaneously sensed an unparalleled provocation from this gesture.

  Although they had never seen such a gesture before, with just a rough look, they deeply felt the profundity hidden in it. Such a simple gesture, its provocative degree is by no means inferior to the sound of hundreds and thousands of curses.

  Xu Shengqi was clearly enraged by Chu Linfeng's inexplicable "protruding" hand gesture, his mouth corners twitching slightly, his eyes almost spewing fire. If it weren't for Xu Changlao timely whispering a few words in his ear, he would have definitely pounced on Chu Linfeng without regard for the consequences, doing something that would get him kicked out of the sect.

  Chu Linfeng completely ignored Xu Shengqi's distorted face due to his furious rage, and a faint sentence floated out of his mouth like a murmur - "Brother Xu, it is uncertain when the dust will settle again, don't forget our agreement..."

  This year's Zong Nei Da Bi is unusual because of Chu Lianfeng's comeback, a former Tianzong genius not only regained the talent and strength lost two years ago, but also made great progress. For everyone who witnessed this scene, it can be said to be a miracle!

  Miracles are exciting, shocking and awe-inspiring.

  After Chu Linfeng, the three generations of disciples who went to test in front of the crystal stele were all extremely nervous, especially those who had bullied Chu Linfeng in the past. They were so nervous that they performed abnormally and got a very low rating, even though they actually possessed higher strength, but because they feared being noticed by the latter.

  Until now, the first strong man among the three generations of disciples, He Changfeng, who has been recognized by everyone as the next candidate for the position of the head of the Xuan Yuan Sect, appeared, and the atmosphere in the field slightly recovered.

  He Changfeng was wearing a light blue Taoist robe today, and his young face had a depth that didn't match his age. If it were just based on appearance, He Changfeng would be the kind of person who wouldn't stand out even in a crowd, but his not-so-sturdy build exuded an intimidating aura.

  That's right, it's sharp and severe, like a battle-hardened treasured sword out of its scabbard, with its blade fully exposed, yet tempered by the elimination of unnecessary arrogance and pride, and instead exuding an air of stability that makes this "battle-hardened treasured sword" feel even more formidable.

  When He Changfeng pressed his palms on the testing crystal stele, a purple light burst forth, and it was even brighter than the light emitted by Chu Lianfeng's previous move.

  What's even more astonishing is that when He Changfeng activated his True Yuan, a series of green lightning balls the size of palms appeared around him within a radius of several feet. Electric currents crackled on the surface of these lightning balls, making for a truly shocking sight.

  At this moment, on the high platform, Tongxuan Zhenren's pupils suddenly contracted, and he couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise: "This child Changfeng has an extremely deep fortune, and the trip to Cangjing Pavilion actually allowed him to obtain the top-notch cultivation method 'Pure Thunder Spirit Decision'. With his innate talent for wind and thunder, obtaining this cultivation method will give him the opportunity to break through to the Heavenly Stage within a hundred years. Who would have thought that in just one internal sect competition, my Xuan Yuan Sect would produce two unparalleled talents..."

  He Changfeng had already cultivated the realm of six heavens of human rank many years ago, and as the only personally transmitted disciple of Tongxuan Zhenren, after achieving this cultivation strength, he obtained the opportunity to enter the scripture pavilion of the sect.

  The Scripture Pavilion is the most important place of the Xuan Yuan Sect, built by the founder of the sect, Xuan Yuan Zhen Ren. It took nearly 180 years to complete, using the great master's skills and craftsmanship. The pavilion contains countless mysterious and profound scriptures, making it the most important heritage of the Xuan Yuan Sect.

  It can even be said that without the existence of the Scripture Pavilion, after experiencing several battles between good and evil in the past 5,000 years, the Xuan Yuan Sect would have been eliminated from the cultivation world.

  The mystery of the Scripture Pavilion is not something that can be revealed to outsiders, and even Tongxuan Zhenren, who holds the position of Zhuchi, cannot control it. Firstly, opening the Scripture Pavilion requires a huge amount of spiritual stones, and members of the Xuantian Sect have only one chance to enter the pavilion in their lifetime. If they become the sect leader or are directly appointed by the sect leader, after reaching the sixth heaven of the Human Stage, they will have an additional opportunity to enter the Scripture Pavilion, which is already the limit.

  The location of the Scripture Pavilion is an absolute secret within the Xuan Yuan Sect, but everyone who enters the Scripture Pavilion will undergo a qualitative change on their body, some will stay for a few days, and some will stay for years.

  The amount of gain varies from person to person, but there is still an unwritten conclusion that the longer one stays in the Scripture Pavilion, the greater the benefits.

  More than 300 years ago, the Xuan Yuan Sect's leader, Jue Ku True Person, cultivated for three years in the Tianjie stage of the third heaven and was rewarded with a visit to the Zang Jing Pavilion. As the leader, Jue Ku True Person visited the Zang Jing Pavilion twice, once for half a year and once for two years. It was during this crucial period of two and a half years that he achieved his Tianjie strength. If it weren't for the outbreak of the fifth Righteous Evil Battle, which led to Jue Ku True Person's downfall, perhaps he could have elevated the Xuan Yuan Sect's status in the cultivation world and returned it to its former glory as a top sect.

  And then Tongxuan Zhenren whispered, and the elder beside him, Zhu Dongyou, also nodded slightly: "Changfeng obtained the 'Pure Thunder Spirit Decision' top-notch cultivation method. After years of secluded cultivation in the Scripture Pavilion, now that he's out, I'm afraid his cultivation strength is no longer just as simple as the sixth level of the Human Realm..."

  Pausing for a moment, Zhu Dongyu's eyes revealed a hint of worry as he said: "Xiao Lianfeng has reached the peak of his cultivation and still has room for improvement. In terms of natural talent, he is even stronger than Changfeng, but this time in the Grand Competition, it's impossible for him to take first place. If Changfeng gets another chance to enter the Cangjing Pavilion, the distance between them will only grow further apart. Both are future hopes for our sect, but there must be a distinction between high and low, and this degree is difficult to grasp."

  Having heard what the Great Elder said, Tongxuan Zhenren also felt a slight chill in his heart and remained silent for a moment, ultimately not saying anything else.

  At this moment, the purple glow on the crystal tablet has reached an extreme limit. He Changfeng's strength at the peak of the sixth heaven is undoubtedly revealed in this moment. Looking at his calm and composed appearance, it seems that he hasn't used his full strength yet.

  As He Changfeng suddenly increased his strength, the already cracked test crystal suddenly emitted a piercing cracking sound.

  On the high platform, Tong Xuan Zhen Ren revealed a faintly comforting smile, and also shook his head with a hint of distress: "This ordinary crystal stele can only withstand the full force of a cultivator at the peak of the sixth heaven of the Mortal Realm..."

  Almost at the same time as Tongxuan Zhenren's voice fell, the test crystal monument with cracks all over it like a spider web could no longer withstand He Changfeng's crazy pouring of surging true yuan force and suddenly exploded.

  Exploding into hundreds and thousands of fragments, the shards hurtled towards He Changfeng, who stood closest to the crystal stele. Unfazed, he remained motionless, as dozens of cyan lightning balls sprang forth around him, rotating at high speed to shield his body completely. Any crystal shard that approached within a meter of his person was instantly pulverized, posing no threat to him whatsoever.

  "This child's cultivation method is not ordinary, and it even comes with a defensive divine technique that is astonishingly powerful." The voice of Jiu You Mo Zun Zhao Lie suddenly rang out in the Chu Lin Feng Zi Fu, with a hint of surprise.

  "Can the Cultivation of Mind Techniques also grant divine abilities?" Witnessing He Changfeng's formidable strength, Chu Lianfeng was shocked but didn't have a single thought of retreating without a fight. Instead, he became even more eager to engage in a battle of techniques with the latter. Upon hearing Zhao Lie's words, he couldn't help but curiously ask.

  "However, all top-notch cultivation techniques can produce exclusive divine abilities after reaching a certain stage. These divine abilities will almost always become the cultivator's most reliable combat strength. The 'Ghostly Separation Technique' I'm cultivating also has an attached divine ability, whose power is enough to be ranked as Lower Emperor Grade..."

  "The 'Mystic Sun Instrument Spirit Decision' cultivated by this young man also has such an effect, but it is only suitable for those with a Mystic Sun spiritual body to cultivate the top-level heart method. As a master, I don't know what level of cultivation is required to trigger the attached divine technique, but I can tell you one thing: although this child's cultivation heart method is top-notch, compared to your 'Mystic Sun Instrument Spirit Decision', it is inferior by several degrees. Moreover, this child is only at the seventh heaven of human rank, even if he grasps the attached divine technique, due to his limited cultivation, he cannot exert the true power of that divine technique."

  Having heard Zhao Lie's explanation, Chu Linfeng couldn't help but slightly look forward to the divine technique that came with the "Xuanyang Qiling Jue".

  "If you were to engage in a duel with him, what would be your chances of winning?"

  "He has a higher level of cultivation than you, and he has also grasped the divine techniques that come with the cultivation method. If it's a quick battle, you're no match for him." Zhao Lie said briefly.

  Chu Ling's eyes sparkled with extraordinary wisdom, and she discerned a different flavor from the middle. Her mouth slightly curved upwards, wearing a faintly calm smile: "The disciple's cultivation method is much stronger than mine, although this person's cultivation base is higher than the disciple's by a notch, but the true yuan force intensity may not be higher than mine. If we can drag out the battle for a while longer, in my humble opinion as the master, the outcome could be fifty-fifty."

  "You little guy, you're quite clever, aren't you? Are your hands itching for a fight? When the time comes, just go all out and fight with him. With me as your master, even if he's a Heaven Stage cultivator, he won't be able to hurt you in the slightest. I forgot to tell you, kid, back in my day, I was famous for being a great protector of my disciples." Zhao Lie burst into loud laughter, clearly extremely pleased with this personally-trained disciple who had been saved from a crisis after more than 3,000 years.

  "A battle with him is inevitable, but the disciple has an uninvited request."

  Chu Linfeng heard the words, but did not show any joy on his face. In his heart, a fierce battle was raging, and in his eyes, a resolute color flashed: "In a fight with He Changfeng, unless my life is in danger, please don't intervene, Master."

  "Haha, I'm a madman from Chu, laughing at Confucius' songs. This young apprentice has such ambition, I'd love to see what kind of skills you have to defeat him." Zhao Lie's personality was bold and unrestrained, and Chu Linfeng's words were exactly to his liking.
