"If you stay in Xuanmen Tianzong, as long as you work hard and remain loyal, your chances of attaining an indestructible demon soul will be far greater than if you cultivate on your own."
Lin Feng's last sentence made the Nine-clawed Eagle King and the North Sea Whale King completely relax their mental defenses.
Having escaped the shackles of the small worlds formed by Lin Feng's mana, they were now on Jade Capital Mountain. Sensing the abundant spiritual energy here, the two demons knew that Lin Feng was not lying. The cultivation environment here was far better than the Arctic Ice Sea where they used to live.
If they could receive Lin Feng's guidance, their cultivation would be twice the result with half the effort.
Lin Feng casually showed them the Yellow Dragon Scale and mentioned Jie Yu's gains, intentionally or unintentionally. This immediately made the Nine-clawed Eagle King and the North Sea Whale King even more willing to submit.
Using both hard and soft tactics, after a long internal battle, the two great demons prostrated in front of Lin Feng one after another: "We are willing to become sect master's disciples, to be at your beck and call, without any disloyalty, we hope that sect master can guide us."
Lin Feng faintly smiled and separately set up restrictions on the two's souls and demon infant. It would not restrict the two demons from using their strength, but as long as he wills it, the two demons' life and death would be out of their control.
Lin Feng called the Nine-clawed Eagle King forward. "You are a bird-type demon, so your flying speed is even faster. This time, you will escort my disciple, Zhu Yi, to the examination."
The Nine-clawed Eagle King faced Lin Feng's calm gaze and answered sternly, "I will obey Sect Master's orders. I will do my best to escort your disciple."
He was a clever person and continued, "I will listen to Zhu Yi's instructions on the way. Please rest assured, Sect Master."
"That will be for the best." Lin Feng nodded. "If you do your best, I will not mistreat you."
Lin Feng turned to look at the North Sea Whale King on the other side. "Although there are excellent stone chambers and cave abodes on this celestial mountain, I think you're naturally fond of water. I'm afraid you won't be used to it. However, there's no need to worry."
He clapped his palms lightly, and an infinite amount of purple gas floated into the air. It surged in the void outside Mount Yujing and instantly turned into a sheet of watery light.
The North Sea Whale King took a closer look and found that the water wasn't very big. It was only about an acre in size and resembled a pond.
However, it was actually a compressed space. From the outside, it didn't look big, but inside, it was as vast as a vast ocean. It was so vast that it was difficult to find an end.
The North Sea Whale King hurriedly cupped his fists towards Lin Feng. "Thank you for your pity, Sect Master."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Go and decorate your new home yourself." The North Sea Whale King flew into the air and landed in the water. Its body flipped over, and it had already transformed into a gigantic whale, floating on the water like a small island.
Being in the water, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the water temperature in this region was very low. Other people would feel bone-chilling cold, but it made him feel very comfortable. It was actually similar to the environment of the Arctic Ice Sea where he had been active in the past.
"This is Sect Master's intention …" Thinking of this, the North Sea Whale King sighed inwardly. "Sigh!"
The Nine-Clawed Eagle King watched enviously from the side. Lin Feng glanced at him indifferently. "Go and make preparations. You'll be setting off in a few days."
"Yes, Sect Master." The Nine-Clawed Eagle King obeyed respectfully.
A few days later, Zhu Yi was ready to set off. Lin Feng led the Nine-Clawed Eagle King. This demon transformed into a gigantic golden eagle with nine claws under its abdomen. When it spread its wings, it could blot out the sky and cover the sun.
Zhu Yi already knew that this was the mount Lin Feng had specially prepared for him. A smile appeared on his face. "Thank you, Master."
Lin Feng passed the restriction restraining the Nine-Clawed Eagle King to Zhu Yi so that he could directly control it. Then, he extended a finger and lightly tapped the space between Zhu Yi's eyebrows. Zhu Yi immediately felt an extremely mysterious aura buried in the depths of his consciousness.
The existence of this aura did not affect Zhu Yi in the slightest when he cultivated or used his transcendence energy in battle. Although Zhu Yi could clearly sense its existence, it would not affect Zhu Yi's movements in the slightest.
Lin Feng said, "That's a Theurgy avatar of mine. It's buried in your spirit and can be used for protection, just in case. Normally, it won't affect you in any way, nor will it interfere with your movements. It will only come into play when you're in mortal danger."
Zhu Yi nodded. "Disciple understands. Thank you, Master."
Lin Feng was not worried that Zhu Yi would slack off with his avatar protecting him. Zhu Yi had a firm mind and willpower. Even in the face of danger, he would first think of using his own strength to defeat the enemy and not rely on this protective talisman that Lin Feng had given him.
Moreover, Lin Feng fully believed that Chosen One like Zhu Yi was extremely resilient. Even if they narrowly escaped death, it would only be an embellishment on their path to glory. Turning danger into safety was a matter of course.
However, it was better to be safe than sorry, so Lin Feng still gave a Theurgy avatar to Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi climbed onto the Nine-clawed Eagle King's back and turned to look at the other side. There were his two inner disciples, Xu Yunsheng and Ying Luoza. Besides them, there was also a purple-clothed girl. She was Wang Lin's inner disciple, Li Xingfei, who often came to listen to his lectures.
The three of them respectfully bowed to Zhu Yi. "I wish Master a smooth journey." "I wish Second Martial Uncle a smooth journey."
Zhu Yi nodded. "When I'm not on the mountain, cultivate on your own. Don't slack off. When I return, I'll test your Daoist arts."
The three of them responded in unison. Zhu Yi continued, "Currently, your cultivation levels are still low. When your cultivation levels are higher, I'll bring you out into the world to train."
After reminding Xu Yunsheng and the other two, Zhu Yi bowed to Lin Feng. "Master, I'll be leaving now."
Lin Feng smiled and nodded. Zhu Yi lightly tapped the Nine-clawed Eagle King beneath his feet. The huge golden eagle immediately flew up. With Lin Feng's permission, it tore through space and flew away from Mount Yujing, entering the Boundless World of the Divine Land.
The Nine-clawed Eagle King spread its wings and disappeared into the void again, flying toward the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Tianjing City.
After Xu Yunsheng, Ying Luoza, and Li Xingfei watched Zhu Yi leave, they secretly glanced at Lin Feng. Other than Ying Luoza, the other two were a little nervous.
In fact, even the fearless Ying Luoza felt nervous when facing Lin Feng at such a close distance.
Lin Feng didn't pay attention to his three nervous grand-disciples. He also looked in the direction that Zhu Yi had left in. He thought to himself, Xiaoyi's trip to Tianjing City this time will probably cause quite a commotion.
With the Nine-clawed Eagle King as a mount, Zhu Yi arrived within the Great Zhou Empire's territory very quickly. Almost as soon as he arrived, the various forces all received the news, whether quickly or slowly.
At this moment, it wasn't just Lin Feng. The actions of the important figures within Xuanmen Tianzong began to affect the minds of more and more people.
Emperor Liang Pan of the Great Zhou was, without a doubt, the first to receive the news. He sat on his throne, Silently looking at the desk in front of him. He didn't say anything.
Chief Steward of the Imperial Palace, Mei Wulang, quietly and respectfully stood below.
Liang Pan thought for a moment, then slowly said, "Wulang, notify Hongwu that now is not the time."
Mei Wulang respectfully replied, "Your servant understands." He hesitated slightly, carefully looking towards Emperor Liang Pan, "Your majesty, regarding the son of the Marquis of Xuanji, Zhu Yi, do you need me to give him some pointers?"
Liang Pan smiled, "No need, he's also a smart person. We believe he knows what he can do and what he can't do."
He lightly sighed, "It's a pity, this should have been a talent of my Great Zhou. However, at least he didn't fall into the hands of Taixu Temple."
After Mei Wulang left, only Liang Pan of the Great Zhou was left in the hall. An even lower and almost inaudible sigh sounded out again, "Perhaps it would have been better if he had fallen into the hands of Taixu Temple …"
After receiving Liang Pan's orders from Mei Wulang, the Marquis of Xuanji, Zhu Hongwu, Silently sat on a chair in the main hall of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji, deep in thought.
On the seat below him sat a woman wearing a light green feathered dress with golden threads. Her hair was tall and straight, a pure gold hollowed out peacock hairpin in her hair. She looked around thirty but not forty years old, her bearing graceful and noble.
"Hongwu, that woman's son is about to return." This woman is the Marquis of Xuanji Zhu Hongwu's official wife, Madam Shao. She looks like she doesn't have any cultivation and is just an ordinary secular woman, but she firmly occupies the position of the main wife of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji.
"Last time he came in a hurry and left in a hurry, not causing any waves. But this time he's really about to return." Madam Shao said Silently, "I heard people say that with his current cultivation, in the entire House of the Marquis, apart from you, there's no one who can control him."
Madam Shao lightly let out a breath, "I'm afraid his return this time is not simple. There are rumours that he and the fourth prince Qian are very close."
At this time Zhu Hongwu opened his mouth Silently, "The Crown Prince is the legitimate heir, the foundation of the country. Getting rid of the old and replacing the young will cause endless trouble in the future. Your majesty is very clear in your heart that the fourth prince has no chance. Anyone who gets involved in the quagmire of the fight for the throne will not have a good ending."
"If Zhu Yi gets involved then he's looking for trouble." Zhu Hongwu said, "Don't worry, he won't be able to cause any waves, I know what I'm doing."
Madam Shao's lips moved, almost squeezing out a sentence from between her teeth: "I heard that his master …"
Zhu Hongwu raised his hand and interrupted her, "No matter if it's my Zhou Dynasty or the other side, right now it's still not the time to truly cause a great storm. When the true great storm starts, unimportant small boats will sink at the first instant."
"At that time I'll personally take care of that unfilial son. You can leave, I'm going to start training."
Madam Shao nodded, "After so many years, you've always had a plan in mind. Since you've said so, I won't disturb you anymore. Just focus on your training."
She walked out of the hall, a trace of worry flashing across her face. "In the past, when Hongwu made a decision, I always felt at ease. But this time, I can't feel at ease. I feel like trouble is about to break out."
Zhu Yi's trip to Tianjing City for the Fall Quarter Examinations had affected more than one or two people. At this moment, in Tianjing City, there were two people strolling on the streets. They seemed to be nonchalant, but in reality, they were communicating telepathically.
One of them was a middle-aged scholar, and the other was a handsome young man. They were the advisor from the Golden Elixir Period under the command of the Zhou Dynasty's Prince, Liang Qian, and the disciple from Beyond Sky Mountain, Chu Yang, who had met Lin Feng once.
"Last time Zhu Yi came and left in a hurry, so I didn't have a chance to interact with him. This time, he's taking the Fall Quarter Examinations, so it's a great opportunity," the middle-aged scholar said telepathically to Chu Yang, but he saw that Chu Yang was a little distracted.
As Chu Yang walked, he turned his head to look behind him. "Why does that place make my heart palpitate?"
The direction that caught his attention was the mansion of the Zhou Dynasty's Crown Prince, Chen Yu.
