Somewhere outside of the Pure Yang Sect’s estate.
A figure descended from the sky and hovered in midair as he looked in the direction of the Pure Yang Sect. A young man stood close behind him.
The young man followed the direction of the figure’s gaze and asked curiously, “Junior uncle, is that where the Pure Yang Sect is located? Their Heaven and Spirit Energy is really lacking compared to ours in the Scholar Woods Divine Manor. Even the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy 1,000 miles away from our Scholar Woods Divine Manor is much better than the one in the periphery of the Pure Yang Sect’s estate.”
The young man had carefree air about him, and he was dressed in a silver long robe with golden trimmings. His voice was dripping with disdain when he mentioned the Pure Yang Sect.
The other person was an old man with a medium build. He was dressed in a long green robe. He was still looking in the direction of the Pure Yang Sect as he shook his head after listening to the young man’s words. He said, “You can’t compare the Pure Yang Sect to our manor. The Pure Yang Sect is just an emperor-rank sect while our Scholar Woods Divine Manor is one of the heavyweight supreme-rank forces in the Profound Energy Land. In the Profound Energy Land, there are at least 100 supreme-rank forces with Supreme Gods and even more of those without Supreme Gods. The Pure Yang Sect isn’t even comparable to an anachronous supreme-rank force that only has advanced Emperors of Gods.”
After a moment, the old man remembered something and said, “In fact, the Pure Yang Sect can be considered quite good since they have Ye Chen Feng. Alas, the Pure Yang Sect can’t help Duan Ling Tian much compared to us. Otherwise, Duan Ling Tian would not leave the Pure Yang Sect for a heavyweight supreme-rank force like us. However, from what I heard, the Pure Yang Sect has been nurturing him wholeheartedly.”
The young man nodded upon hearing the old man’s words. Similarly, if he were in Duan Ling Tian’s shoes, he would not join a force that would not benefit him. After a moment, he asked, “Junior uncle, should we announce our arrival now?”
Before the old man replied, the young man added, “Ye Chen Feng, the strongest person in the Pure Yang Sect, better come out and receive you.”
The old man raised a brow slightly and said, “When you’re in another person’s territory, it’s best to remain modest. From what I know, we’re not the only ones trying to recruit Duan Ling Tian. The Scarlet Flame Palace and the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation have sent their representatives here as well. If your arrogance offended the Pure Yang Sect and news of it spread to Duan Ling Tian, it might affect the chances of him joining us. Do you think you won’t have to suffer the consequences if the manor finds out that you’re the reason Duan Ling Tian refuses to join us?”
The young man’s expression changed upon hearing this. Then, he took a deep breath. In just a moment, the arrogant expression on his face was replaced by a gentle expression. Then, he said seriously, “I understand, junior uncle. I won’t belittle the Pure Yang Sect anymore just because they’re an emperor-rank force.”
The old man nodded. “With your innate talent and comprehension skills, you’re considered a prodigy in our Scholar Woods Divine Manor. Hence, it’s normal for you to be arrogant. However, you should not take that as a matter of course, and you have to learn to be modest. Although I’ve never met Duan Ling Tian before, I’ve heard that he’s very modest through my investigation despite having very high innate talent and comprehension skills. This is something you should learn from him.”
The young man nodded. However, jealousy could be seen in the depths of his eyes. He found it hard to believe that a disciple from a poor and remote emperor-rank force could amazing such amazing feats at such a young age. He, himself, was only slightly over 6,000 years old, and yet, he was no match for Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, even among the younger disciples in the Scholar Woods Divine Manor, he was considered above average.
At this moment, the old man’s voice rang in the ears of the patrolling members of the Pure Yang Sect.
“Gentlemen, I’m Wang Chao Ren from the Scholar Woods Divine Mansion. I’m here to visit the Pure Yang Sect.”
The patrolling members of the Pure Yang Sect were shocked as they looked at the two figures nearby. Before the other party spoke, they did not even sense the other party’s presence despite their close proximity.
“The Scholar Woods Divine Manor? T-that’s one of the heavyweight supreme-rank forces in our Profound Energy Land, right? It’s the strongest force in the Misty Fellowship Mansion?”
“What else could it be? There’s only one Scholar Woods Divine Manor in the Profound Energy Land.”
“That’s right. Heavyweight supreme-rank forces definitely won’t allow others to bear the same as theirs. Moreover, these two people are clearly extraordinary since they’re able to come so close without us detecting their presence.”
“Our sect leader previously said that there’d be visits from the various heavyweight supreme-rank forces in our Profound Energy Land. There’s no doubt that they’re from the supreme-rank Scholar Woods Divine Manor.”
At this time, an elder, the leader of the patrol team, sent a message before he said, “Everyone, follow me to greet the seniors from the Scholar Woods Divine Mansion. It’s said that the heavyweight supreme-rank forces sent Supreme Gods as their representatives. As such, these visitors are likely Supreme Gods. At the very least, they’re advanced Emperors of Gods.”
After the patrol team greeted the two visitors, the leader said again, “Seniors, our Pure Yang Sect’s Ascension Elder Liu Feng Gu is coming to receive you. Please wait a moment.”
Not long after the elder finished speaking, a figure flew over from the distance. It was none other than Liu Feng Gu. A hint of wariness could be seen in his eyes as he cupped fists and bowed before he said, “Greetings, Senior Wang.”
Wang Chao Ren, the old man, smiled. “Elder Liu, your reputation precedes you. I didn’t expect you to personally receive me.”
Wang Chao Ren was clearly satisfied that Liu Feng Gu personally received him. He was aware that Liu Feng Gu’s strength was only second to Ye Chen Feng in the Pure Yang Sect.
“Senior, please follow me,” Liu Feng Gu said respectfully as he gestured for the two visitors to follow him. Despite the calm expression on his face, he was feeling rather nervous inwardly after sensing Wang Chao Ren’s domineering aura. He thought to himself, ‘He’s definitely a Supreme God. An advanced Emperor of Gods wouldn’t be able to make me feel this way…’
Liu Feng Gu continued thinking to himself, ‘He’s the first representative and Supreme God from a heavyweight supreme-ran force to arrive…’
Before Wang Chao Ren arrived, a few representatives from ordinary supreme-rank forces had already visited the PureYang Sect. These representatives were all advanced Emperors of Gods.
‘This is the first time a Supreme God has stepped foot into our Pure Yang Sect’s estate in the past 100,000 years… To think the reason is a young disciple who’s not even 3,000 years old,’ Liu Feng Gu thought to himself emotionally with a sigh.
…
At the same time, the other intermediate Emperors of Gods also received the news about Wang Chao Ren’s arrival in the sect.
At this time, Zhen Yun Feng and Zhen Ping Fan were sitting in Zhen Yun Feng’s courtyard on Yun Feng Island.
“The representative from the Scholar Woods Divine Manor is here,” Zhen Yun Feng said.
“So fast? Things are getting so exciting that I can barely sit still,” Zhen Ping Fan said with a smile.
Zhen Yun Feng shook his head. “It’s not fast. Look at Tuo Ba Xiu from the Underworld Mansion. She’s already been brought away by a powerhouse from the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion a few days ago. Although the person who came for her wasn’t a Supreme God, she’s still an advanced Emperor of Gods who possessed a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul. As such, her master has to be a Supreme God.”
Zhen Ping Fan disagreed with Zhen Yun Feng. “Father, you can’t compare the two.” He added, “The Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion has no choice but to act quickly because they only accept female members. Someone like Tuo Ba Xiu is rare only to them. The other heavyweight supreme-rank forces won’t even pay attention to Wang Xiong, let alone Tuo Ba Xiu.”
Zhen Yun Feng said, “Although Tuo Ba Xiu is weaker now, she might be able to surpass Wang Xiong in the future. The Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion has fewer members so they’ll have more resources to spare. In any case, she’ll definitely be a force to reckon with in the future.”
Zhen Ping Fan nodded in agreement. “You’re right.” Then, he smiled and asked, “Father, how many heavyweight supreme-rank forces do you think have sent their representatives here?”
