As for experts beyond the Profound Sovereign Realm, Wang Feng hadn't even considered them. In the three great empires, even the strongest publicly known experts were merely at the Peak Stage of the Profound Sovereign Realm. Even if there were Profound Venerable Realm experts hidden within these empires, they would be ancient patriarchs! How could they possibly be assigned to protect a mere young disciple? Even if Mu Yunfei was the Divine Wind Emperor's son, such treatment would be impossible.
After Wang Feng finished speaking, Mu Yunfei's expression changed, his heart trembling. He hadn't expected Wang Feng to deduce his circumstances merely from his words!
"Senior truly lives up to being a Profound Sovereign expert—unfathomably deep. This junior is far from comparable!" Mu Yunfei said with a bitter smile. Since Wang Feng had seen through him, he didn't bother trying to cover it up.
"With your talent, you must be among the most outstanding of the younger generation in the Divine Wind Empire. How strange that the Divine Wind Emperor doesn't treasure you?" Wang Feng gave Mu Yunfei a deep look, his eyes flickering with curiosity.
Wang Feng didn't know about lands beyond the three empires, but within them, someone of Mu Yunfei's age reaching the Sovereign Realm was beyond precious. Such talent would earn anyone's favor and command instant respect!
"To be honest, this junior was merely a worthless person before. While traveling to clear my mind, I happened upon a fortuitous encounter that led to my current cultivation," Mu Yunfei said, a dark glimmer flashing in the depths of his eyes.
As his words fell, Mu Yunfei stared intently at Wang Feng and the others, a mysterious energy secretly stirring in the depths of his body.
"Such an encounter proves your extraordinary destiny. Would you be willing to join my Divine Immortal Sect?" Wang Feng nodded first, then changed the subject.
A worthless person obtaining a heaven-defying opportunity while training outside, instantly achieving greatness—wasn't this the perfect protagonist setup? Such a person had to be recruited into his Divine Immortal Sect, even if by force.
Wang Feng could already imagine Mu Yunfei's future path: returning to the Divine Wind Empire with heaven-defying talent, face-slapping and crushing all those who had once humiliated him.
"What?" Hearing Wang Feng's words, Mu Yunfei froze in surprise.
He had thought Wang Feng and the others would be interested in his mysterious encounter. After all, what kind of opportunity could allow a worthless person to reach the Sovereign Realm in such a short time? Even a Profound Sovereign expert would be envious.
He had planned to use the trump card obtained from his encounter to kill these three Profound Sovereign experts when they tried to seize his opportunity, then loot their wealth—the fortune of three Profound Sovereign experts would instantly make him rich. But unexpectedly, Wang Feng and the others weren't following the usual script.
Of course, there was also the possibility that Wang Feng's group wanted to recruit him into their sect first before seizing his treasure, but this seemed unlikely. After all, with three Profound Sovereign experts, why go to such lengths to deal with a mere Early Stage Sovereign? It would be laughable if word got out.
"Though you obtained that opportunity, I imagine you've had no strong expert to guide you given your previous circumstances. Join my Divine Immortal Sect, and you'll receive one-on-one guidance from a Profound Sovereign expert. With your talent, while I dare not guarantee anything else, our sect is confident in helping you reach the Profound Sovereign Realm!" Wang Feng looked at Mu Yunfei and spoke again.
Hearing Wang Feng's words, Mu Yunfei was indeed tempted. Even his elder brother, who stood above all the younger generation in the Divine Wind Empire, didn't qualify for one-on-one guidance from a Profound Sovereign expert—at most receiving occasional instruction.
However, Mu Yunfei still had concerns. He didn't doubt Wang Feng's words—just from these three Profound Sovereign experts, he could imagine the Divine Immortal Sect's power. This so-called Divine Immortal Sect must be one of the legendary ancient hidden sects.
"If I join the Divine Immortal Sect, endless trouble will follow. Senior, are you certain you wish to recruit this junior?" Mu Yunfei looked directly at Wang Feng with a serious expression.
Putting aside his sensitive identity, just considering his elder brother's domineering personality—if he learned of Mu Yunfei's opportunity, he would likely send experts to kill him. The Divine Immortal Sect would inevitably be drawn into trouble because of him.
Mu Yunfei felt goodwill toward Wang Feng and the others. He didn't want to bring danger to a sect because of himself.
"In our sect, no trouble is truly trouble! Our sect's word can determine heaven and earth!" Hearing Mu Yunfei's words, Wang Feng stood with hands behind his back, eyes profound, speaking softly.
Though the words were gentle, they exploded like thunder in Mu Yunfei's ears. Especially the unfathomable aura emanating from Wang Feng's being, which made Mu Yunfei's whole body tremble.
If it were anyone else, he would have sneered in disdain, but with Wang Feng, for some reason, he felt that Wang Feng spoke true!
"Perhaps this is my opportunity!" Looking at the unfathomable Wang Feng standing with hands behind his back, Mu Yunfei's eyes flickered as he thought to himself.
Then, with a determined expression, Mu Yunfei looked at Wang Feng and said seriously: "Senior, this junior is willing to join the Divine Immortal Sect!"
"Excellent. From today forward, you are an outer disciple of my Divine Immortal Sect. Above you are your First Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, and Third Senior Brother!" Hearing Mu Yunfei's words, Wang Feng nodded with satisfaction and spoke solemnly.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for recruiting a protagonist disciple, receiving rewards: 50,000 sect points and two random summoning chances!"
The cool voice resounding in his mind made Wang Feng's whole body tremble with excitement. He hadn't expected Mu Yunfei to truly be a protagonist—the reward from him was even higher than from Li Hei, a Profound Emperor Realm reincarnator. His efforts hadn't been wasted!
However, looking at his accumulated three random summoning chances, Wang Feng's expression turned bitter. Limited by the sect's level, he could only summon one more expert, and now his Divine Immortal Sect only had five disciples, including Great Demon Xuansha. They still needed five more to upgrade to a level two sect.
"Damn it, as the master of a sect, I had lowered myself and put aside my dignity, going through so much trouble to recruit just five disciples—really only four if counted properly. How long will it take to recruit the other five?"
"Xuansha, go call them all to the outer sect!" Shaking his head, Wang Feng temporarily put aside the troublesome matter of recruiting disciples and spoke to Great Demon Xuansha beside him.
"Yes, Sect Master!" Great Demon Xuansha quickly replied and vanished in a flash.
Wang Feng then led Yaoyue and Mu Yunfei toward the outer sect's main hall. Wang Feng planned to remain in the outer sect while the Divine Immortal Sect wasn't yet powerful enough.
Though the Hidden Spiritual Sect Sanctuary within the small world was good, its spiritual energy was thin and not conducive to disciples' cultivation. Only after extracting the Profound Veins would Wang Feng gradually move into the sect grounds within the small world.
"System, use random summoning chance!" While heading to the outer sect's main hall, Wang Feng didn't remain idle, deciding to summon the final elder position.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning Shadow Empress Zhu Yuyan. Would the host like to view her attribute panel?"
When the cool voice sounded in his mind, Wang Feng's expression froze. He had originally guessed he might summon Sword Emperor Xie Xiaofeng, but unexpectedly, it was Shadow Empress Zhu Yuyan!
How could Wang Feng not know of Zhu Yuyan? Leader of the demonic path's greatest sect, first among the eight demonic experts. If she hadn't been deceived by Evil King Shi Zhixuan, preventing her from mastering the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Demon Grand Art, her power would have been unfathomable!
"View!" After pondering, Wang Feng nodded without hesitation!
"Ding! Shadow Empress Zhu Yuyan's attribute panel is as follows:
Name: Zhu Yuyan
Cultivation: Mid Stage Profound Sovereign Realm
Techniques: Heavenly Demon Grand Art, Jade Destruction Art.
Weapon: Shadow Empress Sword!"
Looking at Shadow Queen Zhu Yuyan's attribute panel, Wang Feng nodded with satisfaction. As expected of the Shadow Queen—though not as terrifying as Yan Shisan, she was still extremely powerful.
By the time they had summoned Shadow Empress Zhu Yuyan, Wang Feng's group had arrived at the outer sect's main hall. When they arrived, Ximen Chuixue and the others were already waiting inside!
The three Divine Immortal Sect elders—Ximen Chuixue, Ye Gucheng, and Yan Shisan—sat in the elder seats, while Great Demon Xuansha sat below them. As for disciples like Ling Feiwu, they stood in the hall.
"Greetings to the Sect Master!" When they saw Wang Feng, everyone in the hall bowed together respectfully, even the proud swordsmen like Yan Shisan.
"No need for formalities!"
Wang Feng waved his hand casually and took his rightful place in the sect master's seat.
"This is Mu Yunfei, who has newly joined our Divine Immortal Sect!" Then, Wang Feng pointed to Mu Yunfei and announced!
"Yunfei pays respects to all elders!" Mu Yunfei glanced at Ye Gucheng and the others, his heart trembling, and quickly bowed respectfully, not daring to look directly at them. With his Sovereign Realm cultivation, he could more deeply sense the terrifying sword intent from them. These three were like supreme divine swords with exposed sharp edges, impossible to look at directly!
Seeing Mu Yunfei's attitude, Ye Gucheng and the others nodded slightly. While Mu Yunfei was paying respects to Ye Gucheng and the others, Wang Feng looked at Li Qing, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Seeing that Li Qing's figure had become thinner, Wang Feng nodded with satisfaction.
Though Li Qing was still a mortal, his constitution had clearly strengthened somewhat. Moreover, Wang Feng could sense a mysterious and powerful force slowly awakening in the depths of Li Qing's body.
Wang Feng knew this must be Li Qing's constitution showing signs of activation after being repeatedly struck by Ling Feiwu.
Noticing Wang Feng's gaze, Li Qing's face was full of resentment, looking like a wronged young wife. Wang Feng ignored the resentful Li Qing and was about to say something when he suddenly sensed a spatial tremor. Looking up, even Ximen Chuixue and the others had sword intent rising from their bodies.
Whoosh!
A graceful figure full of alluring charm stepped out from the void!
