Martial World's
Ch 356 - Entering the Sect

The young man who spoke was named Zhan Yunjian, and he was a disciple of Storm Valley. He was 19 years old, and his cultivation had just reached the pinnacle of the early Houtian realm, just a step away from reaching the middle Houtian realm.
This young man and Yan Fuhong were old acquaintances. After they 'meet by accident', Yan Fuhong had started a conversation, and during that time, he had mentioned Mu Qianyu's high evaluation for Lin Ming. He wanted to arouse Zhan Yunjian's arrogance, and had him ruin Lin Ming's prestige at the birthday party.
To teach Lin Ming a lesson was a matter only suitable for outer court disciples. The so-called competition that took place at the banquet would be a very leisurely affair. Anyone who wanted to compete with anyone only needed to call names or jump on stage to declare a duel. Sometimes they could not even compare martial arts fighting skills. They might compare shooting skills, secret techniques, martial skills, Concept comprehension, and so on.
In short, there are many ways to show off one's skills. And these competitions usually had an unspoken rule that disciples of the same sect could not challenge each other. Since Yan Fuhong and Lin Ming were from the same sect, it was certainly an inappropriate affair.
As Zhan Yunjian heard Yan Fuhong talking about Lin Ming, someone whom Saint Mu Qianyu had deeply thought about, he began to pay attention to Lin Ming's cultivation.
"mm? He was only in the late Pulse Condensation period; it was hard to believe that someone of his cultivation was considered highly by Fairy Maiden Mu. How old is he?"
"16 years . ”
"really now? A 16-year-old with a late Pulse Condensation cultivation was quite satisfactory. If his strength was also extraordinary, then he deserved to be considered extremely by Fairy Maiden Mu. '' Zhang Yunjian casually evaluated Lin Ming with a few words then started walking away.
Yan Fuhong anxiously said, "Sister Yun, you're not interested in him?"
"Pullied?" Zhan Yunjian's footsteps stopped, and he faintly smiled at Yan Fuhong, his hands still peeling off the pine nuts. "It looks like you have some problems with this Lin Ming child. I am interested, but I also don't have the qualifications to go against him. He is three years younger than me, and his cultivation is also lower. How can I compare something to him like this? If he's three years older, then I might be interested in having a little bit of a match with him. ”
Zhan Yunjian was a character ranked among the top disciples of Storm Valley, and was on par with the Sunfire Sect's Princess Sunfire, or Thunderclap Sect's Thundercrest. He was someone who liked to challenge those who were at a higher level, especially those who were older or had a higher cultivation. But, Lin Ming was only a 16-year-old little boy, and his cultivation was also only at the late Pulse Condensation period. At the banquet, he was almost the same as a child. If Zhan Yunjian challenged Lin Ming, even if he did not fight Lin Ming, he would be laughed at by others.
If he were to really fight with Lin Ming, it would still be a useless attempt. There is no victory in victory, nor will it be fantastic. Zhan Yunjian did not want to participate in this selfless and ominous event.
Yan Fuhong was unwilling to let this go. He tried to urge further and said, “Brother Yun should not look down on him. Although her cultivation was not high, she was quite strong, otherwise, she would not have gotten into the eyes of an intelligent Saintess. He was only 16 this year, and he defeated many heroes and elites who aspired to win first place at the Seven Valleys Profound Faction Total Martial Meeting.
“Seven Profound Valleys? Is it a third-rate sect in your Divine Phoenix Province? Haha, Brother Fuhong, there is no need to even mention this matter. The champion of the Total Martial Meeting of the faction of a third-grade sect did not count at all. When I was 15 years old, I challenged the main disciple of a third-rate sect under Storm Valley and defeated him in less than 10 steps. ”
Zhan Yunjian casually said this, clearly not giving much importance to this memory. He looked at Yan Fuhong's hesitant appearance and said, “Ya, Brother Fuhong, it looks like you were also forced. It seems that this little kid will split most of your resources. Then be it. I'll ask some of my junior-apprentice younger brothers to step up and frustrate him a little. What's the best of him? "
Banquet matches were not to defeat opponents, but to show off one's skills. Zhan Yunjian asked what Lin Ming was most skilled at because he wanted to suppress him in whatever he was good at. This would be the most punishing method Lin Ming had.
Yan Fuhong was instantly delighted. He said, "That boy is the best at controlling thunder!"
"Controlling thunder? That was the domain of the Thundercrest Sect. I happened to know a young junior-apprentice sister from Thundercrest Sect who was around 17 years old. For him to compare a little with her sounds right. ”
"17 years?" Yan Fuhong frowned. Although he did not think that Lin Ming was too strong, he did not doubt Lin Ming's talent. How could his talent be poor if he was someone Mu Qianyu valued? "He is young . Are you sure he will win? "
“Haha, don't underestimate him. In another year or two, he would be able to rank second. ”
In the absence of monstrous talent like a Saint rank character, the second rank would be the top; there were not many of these talents in the sect. This made Yan Fuhong feel at ease. This young girl was also a year older than Lin Ming.
“Thank you very much, Brother Yun. Today I am the one who bought. Let's go to the Over Mountain Hall! ”
"More than the Mountain Hall? That's a nice place! I heard that it takes a medium-level true essence stone to eat there, and eating there is the same as the painstakingly obtained cultivation of a martial artist for an entire year; how could I miss this opportunity, haha! "
The Parasol Tree Pavilion had a total of 360 buildings, and most of these buildings were empty. The Vermillion Bird faction only had 20 mere core disciples, so most of the buildings were empty spare parts used for other events. For example, for the 400th birthday banquet of the venerable Master Tianguang, the heroes and young elites would stay in the Parasol Tree Pavilion.
Lin Ming lived in the 22nd building. The person living opposite him was the red-robed young man who had led him through the mountain gate, Senior-apprentice Brother Zhang. These days, Lin Ming became much more familiar with him, and even knew his name was – Zhang Zhen.
The small, supplied building has its own courtyard. For cultivation, Lin Ming would train in the morning when the eastern sun first rose, and the courtyard would be filled with celestial and earth origin energy. The origin energy of Divine Phoenix Island was much richer than the Seven Profound Valleys, and its cultivation here was like soaking in a sea of heaven and earth origin energy; it was an incomparably pleasant and luxurious feeling.
The Parasol Tree Pavilion was very noisy and busy with activities these days. There were too many disciples coming, and many of them had unique skills and wanted to do something. Unable to wait for the banquet to start, they had already gone to an open area in the forest of parasol trees to compete against each other in the skill test. When these individuals begin to compare skills, it will often attract a large audience.
Lin Ming stayed in his small building for three days, and no one cared to pay attention to him. The people from Divine Phoenix Island were very busy preparing for the smelting trials of the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm, as well as the birthday party of Honored Master Tianguang.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, a young servant spoke in front of Lin Ming's door. "Sir Lin, Your Highness Saintess requested your presence in the Back Palace. ”
The servants of Divine Phoenix Island were similar to the guard disciples of the Seven Profound Valleys. If they were to serve Saints or other elders, their rank might become slightly higher. Although this young servant was around the age of Lin Ming, he had a Bone Forging stage cultivation.
"Then I have to interrupt Miss to lead me there. '' Lin Ming said respectfully.
The little maid timidly giggled and brought Lin Ming to the Back Palace of the Parasol Tree Pavilion. This was not the mountain gate or the entrance of the palace, so one could fly here.
The peak of Divine Phoenix Island stretched out endlessly, and there were various peaks that bared the splendor of the land, even dangerous peaks that seemed to be carved from the greenest jade. The Back Palace of Divine Phoenix Mountains was located on an extremely tall and stunning mountain peak that was enveloped by endless green umbrella trees. A thick fog enveloped the entire mountain, forming an illusion of green mist.
Back Palace was hundreds of feet tall, and covering several miles of land, the entire structure was made of beautiful blue stone. As Lin Ming walked in, he saw a woman in a red robe sitting on a tall chair made of the purest green jade. Although the woman had silver hair, she did not look old, and still seemed to be at the peak of her glorious and majestic life. To the right of the woman sat another elegant woman. This woman was Mu Qianyu.
Without a doubt, the silver-haired lady was the master of a generation. Lin Ming respectfully bowed and said, "Junior Lin Ming greeted Senior. ”
"Lin Ming, this old lady has heard of Yuer mentioning you. ”
The beautiful woman kindly smiled, her eyes contained a lingering charm that confused the eyes as she glanced at Lin Ming. “The truth is because you are part of a joint talent training program, you can cultivate here on Divine Phoenix Island even if you do not join my sect, and also enjoyed the treatment of core disciples. However, I heard from Yuer that she has passed the first layer of the 'Vermillion Bird Forbidden Divine Chronicle' cultivation method to you, and that you also intend to learn more about this cultivation method. However, this cultivation method is a strict legacy of my Heavenly Phoenix Island that cannot be given to outsiders. Thus, this old lady wants to ask you: do you want to join my Divine Phoenix Island as a core disciple? "
Lin Ming's voice choked in his throat, he did not immediately respond.
The beautiful woman smiled and said, “I see that you are a gentleman, and that you are also reluctant because of the Seven Great Valleys. Haha, a real man knows elegance and pays his debts. This old lady is already aware of the matter between you and the Seven Profound Valleys. As this old lady understood, you are not an official disciple of the Seven Profound Valleys, and the Seven Profound Valleys have also not put in the effort to develop you. If you choose to enter Divine Phoenix Island, there will be no problem. Also, regarding Shi Zongtian, this old lady had already discussed this matter with him, and she had agreed that after you entered Divine Phoenix Island, You can also be considered as half of the disciples of the Seven Profound Valleys.
This beautiful woman said this casually and innocently, but the truth was that Divine Phoenix Island had made many concessions to appease the Seven Great Valleys.
Lin Ming hesitated; entering the sect was a life-changing decision that would concern his entire future. Originally, when he was at the Seven Profound Valleys, he had yet to truly enter the sect. As he considered, he saw that Mu Qianyu was winking at him, hinting for him to agree immediately.
“Senior, this junior has a question. What kind of task did Divine Phoenix Island's core disciples have? ”
The beautiful woman was stunned. He meaningfully looked at Lin Ming and smiled, “You want to discuss the condition with this old lady? The young ones are really brave! To think of all the young and elite heroes who have stepped over each other and fought so hard to become core disciples of my Divine Phoenix Island, yet you are still asking for the requirements. Really confident! "
The words of the beautiful woman seemed like praise, but they were filled with a sense of dissatisfaction. To him, Lin Ming's words were rather brash.
Mu Qianyu was secretly worried by the side.
Lin Ming slowly and calmly said, "Senior, I am a person who has full confidence in the commitments and promises he made. The ancients had the saying – masters for a day, masters for a living. If I go into a sect, then this truth is also similar. Since this is a commitment that I will have throughout my life, of course I have to consider it twice and it is not easy to answer. Senior mentioned that there were many young geniuses rushing into Divine Phoenix Island, but didn't these people come just for the resources of Divine Phoenix Island? The world is amazing, and there are advantages to be found everywhere. In this world, there were many people who went crazy for their personal gain, but those who were crazy for the sake of truth and honor were rare. Those who first rushed to become Divine Phoenix Island disciples, wouldn't they also be the first to escape when Divine Phoenix Island suffered a calamity? That's what I believe. ”
Lin Ming's words were neither arrogant nor weak, and they echoed in the hall. The beautiful woman had a surprised expression; she did not think that a 16-year-old boy would say such words. Even Mu Qianyu was a little surprised.
After a moment of silence, the beautiful woman suddenly smiled. "Good! It says well! Right and crazy! As long as your talents and abilities satisfy this old lady, then you can enter my Divine Phoenix Island without any obligation, as long as you have honor and conscience! ”
