Not only Shi Zongyue and Dao Master Changle, but several other Primordial Spirit powerhouses, as well as the Yuanying and Golden Elixir elders under their command, were observing Lin Feng and Xuanmen Tianzong and the people behind him with complicated expressions.
As the saying goes, seeing is believing. Usually, no matter how exaggerated the rumors were, most people did not believe it.
However, after witnessing it with their own eyes today, everyone found that Xuanmen Tianzong and his people were even more ferocious than the rumors said.
Lin Feng took a look at his personal reputation and sect reputation displayed in the system and discovered that they both had different degrees of growth. This made him feel very comforted in his heart. The reason he brought his disciples to battle in a high profile manner this time was to raise his reputation.
After Wang Lin returned, Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, "Good job."
"Master, please correct me." A smile appeared on Wang Lin's cold face, and he regained his warmth.
Lin Feng pointed out a few things that needed to be improved in his spells. Wang Lin listened carefully and kept nodding.
"Hmm?" After pointing out Wang Lin's spells, Lin Feng suddenly thought of something and looked at the horizon in the distance. There, there was a unique aura approaching the North Wind Sea.
For Lin Feng, this aura itself was not very strong. At best, it was at the level of the late stage of Golden Elixir, but it was very unique.
It was a kind of knowledgeable, full of knowledge, overflowing with talent that looked up to the world, respected the common people, and repelled ghosts and gods.
It was very rare for a cultivator to have such an aura.
Lin Feng's heart slightly moved. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Dao Master Changle stroking his beard and smiling. He said to Shi Zongyue, "He's coming."
Shi Zongyue nodded slightly and said, "It's too late."
Dao Master Changle laughed and said, "He probably overslept, but it's not too late."
Shi Zongyue shook his head and sighed, "It's this bad habit."
The other Primordial Spirit experts had naturally discovered the presence of these people and were amazed. Seeing the reactions of Shi Zongyue and Dao Master Changle, Lin Feng and the others were even more puzzled.
Obviously, not only did Shi Zongyue and Dao Master Chang Le know him, they were also very familiar with him. Moreover, from what they said, he was also going to participate in the Barren Sea Assembly.
However, the problem was that even the few Primordial Divinity Stage powerhouses had arrived on time, yet this person just had to be late. He was really putting on airs.
Lin Feng and the others wouldn't go so far as to argue with a late Golden Elixir cultivator, but as the host, Shi Zongyue and the others would undoubtedly be greatly disrespectful and would inevitably lose face.
But looking at Shi Zongyue, Dao Master Chang Le, and Dao Master Gamble, not only did they not get angry, but they even seemed to be biased towards this latecomer. This made people have no choice but to look at this latecomer in a new light.
The others also noticed this person sooner or later. However, since the Primordial Spirit experts did not say anything, they naturally did not say much. Obviously, there were many private discussions.
Lin Feng and the others looked at each other and remembered that when Shi Xingyun came over to greet them, he had mentioned that one person who was qualified to be Zhu Yi and Tiny Tot's opponent was not there at that time.
Now it seemed that it was this person.
Zhu Yi's expression was calm. He gently squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. There was already a figure appearing on the horizon, walking step by step towards the North Wind Sea.
The person seemed to be moving very leisurely. Although he was late, he was still walking at a steady pace.
The person seemed to be walking slowly, but in reality, the distance between his feet and the lakeside of the North Wind Sea was rapidly shrinking. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of the crowd.
However, looking at his movements and expression, he was still calm and composed. There was not the slightest hint of impatience or panic.
What caught Zhu Yi's attention the most was that there was a faint pillar of Qi above the person's head that led straight to the Nine Heavens. The pillar of Qi did not contain any magic power or spiritual Qi. Instead, there were many faintly visible words. Upon closer inspection, one could see that these words formed a magnificent article.
"Great Qin Dynasty's new top scholar?" Zhu Yi smiled slightly. "Not bad, not bad at all."
As he got closer, the crowd took a closer look at the person's appearance. They saw that he looked to be in his twenties or thirties. He was dressed in a long, dark robe with a green robe over it. He wore a silk scarf on his head and looked like a scholar. His every movement was full of scholarly aura.
His appearance was not particularly handsome. He did not appear masculine, but he was not feminine either. He was simply very refreshing and amiable.
When the young scholar arrived at the lakeside of the North Wind Sea, he bowed to the crowd and said in a friendly voice, "I am Jiao Junchen. Greetings, seniors and fellow cultivators."
He smiled somewhat embarrassedly, but his tone was very calm. "I was greedy before and didn't want to oversleep. That's why I'm late. I apologize to everyone here."
This person's attitude was so calm that it made those who wanted to criticize him unable to find any words to say.
It was impossible for Jiao Junchen to make up a lie in front of several Primordial Soul realm experts. As he said, he really overslept.
However, this rather nonsensical reason really made everyone not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Since you overslept, then you might as well not come!" Someone almost blurted out. However, looking at Jiao Junchen's calm appearance, they knew that Jiao Junchen would most likely not care even if they said it.
It was even possible that he would not participate in the spell assembly and directly go back to sleep.
Of course, Shi Zongyue and the other Primordial Soul realm experts of the Great Qin Dynasty would certainly not allow him to do so. From their current protective attitude, unless Lin Feng, Dao Master Lan Ting, and the others investigated, this matter would only be left unsettled.
The other Primordial Soul realm experts naturally would not lower themselves to Jiao Junchen's level. Instead, they all looked with interest at this cultivator of the Golden Elixir Period who was even more arrogant than them.
Others might not be able to tell, but they could all see that this young scholar was extremely close to nature. His every movement actually gave off a feeling that was close to the Dao.
Dao Master Changle coughed dryly. "Junchen, stand in the line. Next, we will draw lots for the top four in the Foundation Establishment Stage."
Jiao Junchen smiled and nodded. He walked in the direction of the Great Qin Dynasty's camp. Shi Xingyun stood in front of the line and shook his head with a smile. "Have you slept enough?"
"Actually, I'm almost there." Jiao Junchen said and yawned. It was a rather rash action, but when he did it, it did not seem rude.
Shi Xingyun looked in the direction of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect over there. The young man in the purple robe is Zhu Yi. "
"The second disciple of the Master of Xuanmen Sect, and also the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty's Marquis of Xuanji, Zhu Hongwu, and the previous Daoism World Wayfarer, Meng Bingyun, Fairy Meng of Taixu Temple."
Hearing this, Jiao Junchen's eyes lit up. The sleepiness in his eyes disappeared. "I'll go say hello."
Shi Xingyun smiled. "Go ahead. When I mentioned you to them before, Zhu Yi also said that even if he can't compete in Dao techniques, he can still exchange knowledge with you."
"That still depends on how much knowledge he has." Jiao Junchen laughed and turned to walk towards Zhu Yi.
Sensing Jiao Junchen's movements, Lin Feng turned to look at Zhu Yi. He saw that Zhu Yi's gaze was also fixed on Jiao Junchen.
Arriving in front of the crowd, Jiao Junchen first bowed to Lin Feng. "Junior Jiao Junchen greets the Master of Xuanmen Sect."
Lin Feng nodded and did not say anything.
At this moment, Jiao Junchen straightened his body and looked at Zhu Yi. After sizing him up curiously, he asked, "You're also a scholar?"
The concept of a scholar may sound vague, but to Zhu Yi and Jiao Junchen, it was clearly a very clear concept.
Zhu Yi looked at him and nodded. "That's right."
Unexpectedly, Jiao Junchen's face revealed a very regretful expression. "You're not good enough. I think it's better for me to compete in Dao techniques with you. There's not much meaning in exchanging knowledge with you."
Hearing this, Lin Feng almost burst out laughing.
"Well, for Zhu Yi, this is a blatant mockery."
Sure enough, when Zhu Yi heard this, his eyebrows slightly raised. He did not say anything and looked at Jiao Junchen with a faint smile.
Jiao Junchen calmly looked at Zhu Yi and said very seriously, "You have today's cultivation level, just like other cultivators, by devoting yourself to hard work. Your talent is amazing, and you're only in your early twenties. In terms of cultivation, your talent is very high, ridiculously high."
"But your knowledge is not good enough. A true scholar reads, keeps his spirit, nourishes his Qi, and understands the big truths of heaven and earth, not the small Dao of spells. Although you don't practice Dao techniques, you understand the truth of heaven and earth like cultivators."
Jiao Junchen glanced at Zhu Yi. "A true scholar, if he doesn't speak, then he will amaze the world with a single brilliant feat. Ten years of studying hard, but one day he will understand the Dao."
"Normally, he doesn't practice Dao techniques, but once he starts to absorb the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, he will immediately step into a realm that ordinary people can't reach in their entire lives. The ancient sages never practiced Dao, but only read and learned. Once they have a sudden impulse, they will directly swallow a Golden Elixir."
"Hearing Dao in the morning, comprehending in the evening, forming the Golden Elixir in the morning, facing the Thunder Tribulation in the evening, achieving Yuanying in one day."
He looked at Zhu Yi and kept shaking his head. "You're a talented cultivator, but you're not a scholar. I'm interested in competing in spells with you, but I'm not interested in competing in knowledge."
After listening to him Silently, Zhu Yi asked lightly, "Oh? Nurturing one's Qi, preserving one's spirit, understanding, and accumulating one's Qi is not necessarily crooked. However, I wonder how far you've progressed? "
Shi Xingyun had also arrived in front of him. He smiled and said, "Brother Jiao, before participating in the Imperial Examination of the Great Qin Dynasty last year, you did not have any Qi cultivation base at all. However, after the Fall Quarter Examinations, your literary talent soared to the sky and you reached the late stage of the Golden Elixir overnight."
Jiao Junchen sighed regretfully. "I'm slow-witted. I can't be compared to the ancient sages."
His tone was sincere, and he truly felt regretful from the bottom of his heart. He did not sound like he was showing off at all.
However, when he said it under such circumstances, it sounded very pretentious.
"Scholars really do despise each other." Lin Feng looked at his own disciple going head to head with Jiao Junchen and couldn't help but laugh and shake his head, his gaze landing on Jiao Junchen: "So it's the successor of the ancient Confucian path, I originally thought that this branch of orthodoxy had already been severed."
A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Xingyun's eyes. On the other hand, Jiao Junchen tidied his clothes and straightened his expression. He then bowed toward Lin Feng. "Master of the Celestial Sect, you have a sharp eye. I'm indeed the successor of the Confucian Sect."
