Chapter 28: One-on-One Guidance from a Profound Sovereign!
Translator: Krukist
When the figure's face was revealed, the entire hall seemed to pale in comparison. Only Yaoyue could rival her beauty. Her delicate eyebrows arched gracefully, and her eyes were as dark as ink, exuding a captivating charm. Her flawless, jade-like skin added to her allure, leaving even Mu Yunfei and the other disciples momentarily breathless. They quickly lowered their heads, afraid that if they looked any longer, their souls would be stolen by her enchanting presence.
Even Great Demon Xuan Sha, the once-feared demon, couldn't help but lower his head. Her peerless elegance stirred something deep within him.
"Shadow Empress Zhu Yuyan, paying respects to the Sect Master!"
A soft, enchanting voice echoed through the hall. As soon as she spoke, the sharp auras of Ximen Chuixue and the others, which had been directed at her, immediately subsided. Only Yaoyue remained, her cold gaze fixed on Zhu Yuyan. While Zhu Yuyan's beauty might have been slightly inferior to hers, her aura was no less captivating. This sparked a competitive fire in Yaoyue, who was determined to outshine her.
"No need for formalities," Wang Feng said, his voice steady despite the turmoil in his heart. He couldn't help but be moved by Zhu Yuyan's breathtaking presence.
When Mu Yunfei and the other disciples realized that this enchanting woman was also a member of the Divine Immortal Sect, they were stunned. This was especially true for Mu Yunfei and Li Hei, who had just joined the sect. From Zhu Yuyan's aura and demeanor, they could tell she was also a Profound Sovereign expert. With five Profound Sovereigns now present in the hall, the sheer power and mystery of the Divine Immortal Sect left them in awe.
In the territories of the three great empires, finding a sect with five Profound Sovereigns was no easy feat. The empires likely had no idea that such a terrifying sect was hidden in the outer regions of the Starry Mountain Range.
Great Demon Xuan Sha was equally shaken. He was now even more convinced that the Divine Immortal Sect was an ancient, hidden sect. Otherwise, how could it continuously produce Profound Sovereign experts? It seemed that the sect's powerhouses were gradually awakening. His sense of belonging to the sect grew stronger, and the one-year agreement he had made with Wang Feng began to fade from his mind.
"This is the fifth elder of our Divine Immortal Sect, Shadow Empress Zhu Yuyan," Wang Feng announced, gesturing toward Zhu Yuyan as he addressed Li Qing and the other disciples.
"Greetings, Elder Zhu!" they replied quickly, bowing with respect.
Zhu Yuyan smiled, her beauty outshining even the most vibrant flowers. The disciples were momentarily entranced by her smile.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort broke the spell. The disciples turned to see Yaoyue, her icy gaze fixed on them. They immediately fell silent, standing stiffly in place.
Zhu Yuyan's attention was drawn to Yaoyue. When their eyes met, sparks seemed to fly in the air. The temperature in the hall dropped, and the disciples couldn't help but shiver.
"Ahem!"
Wang Feng cleared his throat, feeling a headache coming on. If these two were already at odds, what would happen if he summoned more peerless beauties in the future? Would they tear the sect apart? As the sect master, he needed to maintain order.
At the sound of Wang Feng's cough, Yaoyue and Zhu Yuyan immediately averted their gazes, sitting down as if nothing had happened. Their sudden obedience surprised Wang Feng.
"Li Qing, Li Hei, Mu Yunfei, step forward!" Wang Feng called out, his voice commanding.
The three disciples quickly stepped forward, even the usually arrogant Li Hei. The presence of five Profound Sovereigns was enough to humble anyone.
"Elders, these three are currently outer disciples of the Divine Immortal Sect. Choose one to guide," Wang Feng said, his tone leaving no room for argument.
To Wang Feng's surprise, Ximen Chuixue was the first to speak. "I choose him," he said, pointing at Mu Yunfei.
"Yunfei, you will follow Elder Ximen from now on," Wang Feng said, nodding in approval.
"Yes, Sect Master!" Mu Yunfei replied, his excitement evident as he stepped behind Ximen Chuixue.
Ximen Chuixue closed his eyes, his sword resting in his arms, and said nothing more.
"I choose him," Yaoyue said coldly, pointing at Li Qing.
Li Qing trembled, nearly collapsing in fear. Among the five elders, he was most intimidated by Yaoyue. Her beauty was intimidating enough, but her cold and aloof demeanor made him feel utterly out of place. He had never expected her to choose him, especially since he had no cultivation base and was just an ordinary mortal.
"Li Qing, you will follow Elder Yaoyue," Wang Feng said.
Li Qing nodded reluctantly, stepping behind Yaoyue with a look of despair.
Yaoyue raised an eyebrow, a hint of triumph in her eyes as she glanced at Zhu Yuyan.
"Then I choose him," Zhu Yuyan said, her voice soft as she pointed at Li Hei.
"Li Hei, you will follow Elder Zhu," Wang Feng said.
Li Hei remained silent, stepping behind Zhu Yuyan. While he was satisfied with the arrangement—after all, having a beautiful mentor was preferable to a cold, aloof one—he couldn't help but feel a bit conflicted. As a reincarnated Profound Emperor, he didn't really need guidance from a Profound Sovereign. But as a disciple of the Divine Immortal Sect, he had no choice.
"In ten days, I will lead you all to the Demon-Sealing Conference. Use this time to train diligently under your mentors," Wang Feng said, his voice firm.
"Yes, Sect Master! We will not disappoint you!" the disciples replied in unison.
"You may leave now. Great Demon Xuan Sha, take them to choose their accommodations. Elders, stay behind," Wang Feng ordered.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Great Demon Xuan Sha and the disciples quickly left the hall.
"Yaoyue, Li Qing possesses the Turtle Spirit Profound Immortal Physique, one of the most powerful special physiques in the world. However, it has not yet been awakened. External stimulation is needed to activate his bloodline. I hope you can awaken part of his physique within these ten days," Wang Feng said, turning to Yaoyue.
Since the elders had chosen their disciples, Wang Feng needed to inform them of their disciples' unique traits to ensure proper guidance.
"Understood, Sect Master," Yaoyue replied, a glint of interest in her eyes. She hadn't expected to randomly pick such a talented disciple.
Wang Feng then turned to Zhu Yuyan. "Zhu Yuyan, the disciple you've chosen, Li Hei, is a reincarnated Profound Emperor. Keep a close eye on him, and if necessary, assert your authority."
"Understood, Sect Master," Zhu Yuyan replied, her body stiffening slightly. She hadn't expected her disciple to be a reincarnated Profound Emperor. This would make teaching him a bit more complicated, but she wasn't too concerned. No matter how powerful Li Hei had been in his past life, he was now only at the Entering Sovereign Realm. In front of her, he would have to behave.
"You may go now. Remember, guide them well. Do not disappoint me," Wang Feng said, his tone firm as he looked at the elders.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The elders bowed and disappeared in flashes of light. Despite their pride, none dared to defy Wang Feng when he was serious.
Once they were gone, Wang Feng sighed. If he hadn't pushed them, these proud elders would never have taken on disciples.
"System, spend 10,000 sect points on a draw!" Wang Feng thought as he sat on his throne.
With 100,000 sect points at his disposal, it was time to try his luck.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for drawing Zhu Yuyan's technique, Heavenly Demon Grand Art!"
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for drawing one-tenth of Zhu Yuyan's cultivation!"
"Ding...!"
