Not only had Tao Yaoyao been defeated by Xiao Yan in one move, but Venerable Swordsman Flowing Light had also been defeated by Lin Feng. Lin Feng had not even used a single Dharma spell. He had only used his primordial spirit to devour Venerable Swordsman Flowing Light. Unable to break free, Venerable Swordsman Flowing Light could only bow his head and admit defeat.
However, to Venerable Swordsman Flowing Light and Tao Yaoyao, since they had not been defeated, this battle was not considered a loss. Instead, they had fulfilled their wish.
This battle also allowed them to understand the power of the Celestial Sect of Wonders even more.
After a short conversation with Lin Feng, the two of them bade farewell. Venerable Swordsman Flowing Light still had to rush back to Cloud Traversing Peak with Tao Yaoyao and plan to use the spiritual power of the Sky-Mending Vine to repair Tao Yaoyao's damaged Golden Elixir.
After descending Yujing Mountain and returning to the Boundless World of the Divine Land, Tao Yaoyao looked at the empty sky above her head and sighed. "Xuanmen Tianzong is indeed extraordinary. Xiao Yan is indeed worthy of being the eldest disciple of the Master of the Celestial Gates."
She turned to look at her master, Venerable Swordsman Flowing Light. "Master, although I only exchanged one move with Xiao Yan and did not personally fight with Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao, and the others, I have a feeling that Xiao Yan might be the strongest among all the disciples of the Master of the Celestial Gates."
At this moment, when she was talking to Venerable Swordsman Flowing Light, Tao Yaoyao spoke from the bottom of her heart. It was her most intuitive feeling.
Venerable Swordsman Flowing Light replied, "If you want to decide victory in one move, what you said is probably not wrong."
"This child is proud and arrogant. In this battle between you and him, he used his weakness to clash head-on with your strength. He did not show his strongest side. Right now, his cultivation is at the late-stage of the Golden Elixir, but if he fuses his True Fire, even a late-stage Yuanying cultivator might not be able to withstand it with his Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol."
Tao Yaoyao nodded. "I've heard from Junior Brother Zhao and the others that he managed to perfectly fuse the True Sun Fire and the Nether Evil Emperor Fire on the Cloud Traversing Peak. His strength is simply astonishing. Now that his cultivation level has increased, I'm sure that the attack power of his True Fire fusion will also improve."
"But …" Tao Yaoyao was confused. "I'm not doubting you, Master. I believe you if you say that he can defeat a mid-stage Yuanying cultivator, but a late-stage Yuanying cultivator is much stronger than a mid-stage Yuanying cultivator when he unleashes his Avatar of Heaven and Earth. Will he be able to defeat him?"
Swordsman Flowing Light said indifferently, "Although he did not reveal it, it is very likely that he possesses more than two types of true flames."
Tao Yaoyao was shocked. She naturally understood that if Xiao Yan could perfectly fuse the three types of true flames, the increase in strength would not be a mere one plus two equals three. Instead, it would be much stronger than the power of two types of true flames fusing.
Swordsman Flowing Light glanced at her and said calmly, "Of course, it's not just Xiao Yan. The cultivations of Xuanmen Tianzong's disciples are all improving with each passing day. After not seeing them for a day, there might be huge changes. For example, Wang Lin."
Tao Yaoyao opened her mouth but did not make a sound. A bitter smile appeared on her face.
That's right. Who would have thought that Wang Lin, who was only at the early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm at the Desolate Sea Assembly, would actually successfully form his Gold Core after a mere few months?
Tao Yaoyao still remembered that even her own master, Swordsman Flowing Light, who had reached the Primordial Spirit Realm, was slightly shocked when he first heard the news.
If Swordsman Flowing Light was already like that, there was no need to talk about Tao Yaoyao and the rest. When the news spread, all the Celeritas Sword Sect disciples who had participated in the Desolate Sea Assembly were dumbfounded and felt that it was unbelievable.
"So, if Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao's strength have greatly increased now, it is also within expectations. Compared to Xiao Yan, it is still unknown who is stronger and who is weaker." Swordsman Flowing Light's expression was indifferent. "However, if it is a competition of instant explosive power in actual combat, I still favor the power of Xiao Yan's true flame fusion."
That was why it was said that Xiao Yan had a higher chance of winning if it was decided in one strike.
After a while, Tao Yaoyao came back to her senses and laughed. "Xuanmen Tianzong's group is really a bunch of monsters."
She smiled and looked at Swordsman Flowing Light. Swordsman Flowing Light was also looking at her calmly. Tao Yaoyao smiled and said, "I will definitely work hard and strive to become one of the monsters. If I don't succeed, master, please don't blame me."
Tao Yaoyao, who had always been strong and competitive, seemed to have no confidence when she said such words. However, her eyes were filled with fighting spirit and there was not the slightest bit of disappointment or anxiety.
Swordsman Flowing Light's usually serious and dignified face also revealed a hint of a smile. He looked at Tao Yaoyao and nodded. "Very good."
He broke open a spatial crack in front of him and brought Tao Yaoyao into the void. "Let's return to the mountain first and use the Heaven Mending Vine to repair your Golden Elixir. You have been stuck at the later stages of the Golden Elixir for too long."
After watching Swordsman Flowing Light and his disciple leave, Lin Feng turned to look at Xiao Yan and said with a smile, "Swordsman Flowing Light seems to have noticed that you have a third type of true flame."
Xiao Yan chuckled. "I didn't suppress my aura at the start of the battle."
Lin Feng saw that there seemed to be restless flames flickering in his eyes. He knew that Xiao Yan had actually suppressed himself in the battle just now.
"You." Lin Feng smiled and pointed at Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan chuckled and did not deny it.
Lin Feng threw him into the Pill Room and returned to the Heavenly Gold Pavilion. "Rascal, if you have the strength, go use it on the Pill Cauldron or focus on your own cultivation."
In the following days, Jade Capital Mountain regained its peace. Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, and the others focused on cultivating and teaching their respective disciples.
It was already autumn when Zhu Yi would once again head to the Great Zhou Empire's Tianjing City to participate in the imperial examinations.
Lin Feng thought to himself, 'This time, I don't have to go out of my way to take the examinations. However, I should prepare a mount for Xiaoyi.'
Ever since Jie Yu refined the Yellow Dragon's skeleton, she had been in closed-door cultivation. King Kui Niu and King Feilian were currently in the Desolate Sky Valley setting up the Wind and Thunder Transformation Formation to help Shi Tianhao in his closed-door cultivation.
"Luckily, I'm prepared." Lin Feng smiled and raised his hand to release a ball of purple air. The air ball formed a small world. In the small world, there were blue waves, blue sky above, and the sea below.
In the sky, a giant golden eagle spread its wings and soared. Its feathers were like iron, and it had nine sharp claws under its abdomen. Its eyes were filled with ferocity and anxiety.
In the deep sea below, there was a vague shadow moving. As the shadow swam, it gradually became clearer and floated to the surface. It was huge, like a small continent, but it was a giant whale.
These were the helpers that Kunyue Ancestor found when Lin Feng was searching for the Kun Peng's treasure. One was the Nine-clawed Eagle King, and the other was the North Sea Whale King. Both were late-stage Daemon Kings. They ran amok in the Arctic Ice Sea. Together with Kunyue Ancestor, they offended Lin Feng and were both captured by Lin Feng.
After these two Daemon Kings were captured by Lin Feng, he sealed them with the Heavenly Small World. He also tortured them so that they didn't dare to act rashly.
Lin Feng didn't forget about the two of them during the live broadcast of the previous battles. After seeing Lin Feng's hand stop, the two Daemon Kings were completely numb and didn't dare to have any thoughts of resisting.
However, they were imprisoned by Lin Feng and didn't have any freedom. They were extremely anxious and didn't know what would happen to them in the future.
Although the two late-stage Daemon Kings couldn't compare to Great Sage Daemon Kings, they were still full of treasures. Lin Feng didn't need them, but his disciples could.
At this moment, the two Daemon Kings suddenly heard Lin Feng's voice. "Come out."
The Heavenly Small World gradually dissipated. The Nine-clawed Eagle King and the North Sea Whale King carefully transformed into human forms. Their true forms were too big.
The Nine-clawed Eagle King transformed into human form. He was tall and sturdy and had a large hooked nose. Beside him stood a strong man over three meters tall. It was the North Sea Whale King in human form.
The two Daemon Kings bowed respectfully to Lin Feng. "Greetings, Celestial Gate Master. We have offended you before. Please forgive us, Celestial Gate Master." They were all a bit nervous in their hearts, nervously looking at Lin Feng, waiting for his final judgment on them.
Lin Feng's expression was indifferent. He flicked his finger lightly. Two beams of purple light shot into the Nine-clawed Eagle King and the North Sea Whale King's eyes and went deep into their minds. They wrapped around the necks of their Daemon Infants like two silk threads.
The Nine-clawed Eagle King and the North Sea Whale King instinctively wanted to resist. The two purple threads tightened and immediately suffocated the two Daemon Kings.
Lin Feng said indifferently: "You all offended me, originally you would have ended up with your body and soul destroyed, but I remember that the heavens have the virtue of cherishing life, today I will give you all a chance, convert to my Xuan Gate Sky Sect and work for my Xuan Gate to make up for your past sins.
"I will now give you a chance to redeem yourselves. My disciple, Zhu Yi, will be leaving for the Great Zhou Dynasty's Tianjing City in a few days. One of you will send him off."
The two Daemon Kings' faces immediately fell. How could they not understand that Lin Feng wanted to find a mount for Zhu Yi?
Most of the demon race are arrogant and untamed. No matter if it's the Nine-clawed Eagle King or the North Sea Whale King, they're both ruthless characters who used to roam freely in the Arctic Ice Sea. Even if they've been captured by Lin Feng for a long time and a lot of their edges and edges have been worn down, and they fear Lin Feng's remarkable abilities, they're still not willing to be at Lin Feng's beck and call, let alone become the mounts of Lin Feng's disciples.
The North Sea Whale King lowered his head and didn't make a sound. The Nine-clawed Eagle King's eyes darted back and forth as he thought, I'll give in first and take this chance to leave. When the time comes, I'll find a chance to escape.
I wonder what his disciple's level of cultivation is. Should I kill him to vent my anger? I'd better not. It might cause trouble.
Lin Feng glanced at the Nine-clawed Eagle King indifferently. The Nine-clawed Eagle King suddenly felt a chill run down its spine. In the next moment, the thread Lin Feng had wrapped around its Demon Infant tightened abruptly, almost cutting it in half.
The Nine-clawed Eagle King knelt on the ground in pain and begged for mercy. Lin Feng's calm voice rang out, "Even though you refused to come to your senses, tried to escape, and even had evil thoughts in your heart, I will spare you this time since you reined yourself in at the last moment. You may be spared from death, but you will not be spared from punishment. Take this as a lesson."
The purple thread suddenly burst into flames, and the golden flames directly burned the Nine-clawed Eagle King's Demon Infant. In just a short while, the Nine-clawed Eagle King was on the verge of death, no longer daring to have any strange thoughts.
Even the North Sea Whale King, who was watching from the side, shuddered when he saw this scene. His attitude immediately softened.
After the stick was used, there would be carrots. Lin Feng said Silently, "If you join my Xuanmen Tianzong, as long as you do your job well, I will not treat you badly. You will all have your own cave abodes and can cultivate on my mountain. The spiritual Qi there is much more abundant than the Arctic Ice Sea you used to live in.
"Other than that, if you do your job well, you will also receive other rewards. That's all I have to say. You can decide for yourselves where you want to go."
