When Wang Feng's words echoed in the fifth-floor hall, everyone was stunned. The entire hall fell silent, and everyone stared blankly at Wang Feng, even Elder Qinsheng was no exception. An ancient hidden great sect! They had only seen such sects in ancient books; this was the first time they had encountered a living one.
If this Divine Immortal Sect was truly as this Sect Master Wang claimed, then it was truly extraordinary. Even the Three Great Empires' royal families, upon learning of this, would likely treat them with courtesy. No one knew the depth of the foundation of a hidden sect passed down from ancient times, and its heritage was even more terrifying than they could imagine. Moreover, the so-called Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, the Fifth Sect Master of the Divine Immortal Sect, could actually fight against Heaven and only lose by half a move. How terrifying was that?
Every cultivator knew that on the path of cultivation, the greatest enemy was first oneself, and second, the so-called Heaven. Whether it was contending with Heaven for life or contending with Heaven for benefit, one had to fight against Heaven. It was just that their cultivation and strength had not yet reached that level. They could not imagine how terrifying someone who could truly fight against Heaven would be.
Of course, although these powerhouses were extremely shocked, they did not fully believe Wang Feng's words. After all, Wang Feng's words were simply too shocking. The Divine Immortal Sect was indeed mysterious and terrifying, but it had not reached that level yet. But without a doubt, all the powerhouses present had a seed planted in their hearts by Wang Feng—that the Divine Immortal Sect might be an ancient hidden great sect. Even if its heritage was not as earth-shattering as Wang Feng described, it was certainly extraordinary.
Seeing the shocked expressions of the many powerhouses present, Wang Feng smirked and chuckled inwardly, "Let's see if I don't fool you all into limping." In his previous life, in the era of information explosion, Wang Feng could easily draw upon various myths and legends. To fabricate a heritage for the Divine Immortal Sect was not an easy task? However, Wang Feng did not expect that his words would not only fool the many powerhouses present, but even the three disciples of his own sect were also fooled by Wang Feng!
At this moment, both Ling Feiwu and Mu Yunfei were trembling uncontrollably with excitement. They knew that the Divine Immortal Sect had a long history and was an ancient hidden great sect, but they had not expected it to have such a terrifying heritage. For a time, they felt extremely fortunate to have joined the Divine Immortal Sect. With such a powerful sect as their backing, what in this world could they fear?
Even Li Hei, this Profound Emperor Realm reincarnated expert, was deeply shaken at this moment. As a former Profound Emperor Realm powerhouse, he knew very well how terrifying a being who could fight against Heaven was. That was definitely a terrifying powerhouse who, even in his prime, could not withstand a single palm strike from such a being! Most importantly, having witnessed the mystery of the Divine Immortal Sect during this period, Li Hei vaguely believed Wang Feng's words. Only in this way could it be explained why the Divine Immortal Sect always had inexplicably powerful individuals resurfacing.
"I never expected the Divine Immortal Sect to have such an origin. Our Qin Yun Pavilion has truly been negligent. Please, Sect Master Wang, do not take offense!" Elder Qinsheng looked at Wang Feng, performed a bow, and said with a gentle smile.
"Elder, please do not say so. It is this Sect Master who has been presumptuous, and I hope Elder will not take offense!" Seeing this, Wang Feng quickly returned a bow and said aloud.
Afterwards, Wang Feng and Elder Qinsheng looked at each other and smiled, as if their previous unpleasantness had been completely resolved.
"We have never witnessed a true ancient hidden great sect in our lives. In the future, if there are any disturbances, please forgive us, Sect Master Wang!" Other great sect powerhouses also smiled and cupped their hands at Wang Feng one after another. Regardless of whether Wang Feng's words were true or false, at least the strength currently displayed by the Divine Immortal Sect was worthy of their friendship.
"It is my pleasure, welcome everyone to visit my Divine Immortal Sect for exchanges. My Divine Immortal Sect has been secluded for too long and is somewhat out of touch with the times!" Wang Feng's smile widened as he spoke.
"Definitely, definitely!"
"Since this is the case, we will not disturb Sect Master Wang's rest. If you encounter disciples of your esteemed sect at the Demon Sealing Conference, we hope that Sect Master Wang can ask your disciples to be lenient and show mercy!"
Then, many great sect powerhouses spoke up one after another. It was not that they were really afraid of the Divine Immortal Sect, but just to build goodwill.
"Certainly!" Wang Feng nodded and smiled, then led Ximen Chuixue and the others into their designated private room. Watching Wang Feng and the others leave, the many powerhouses present also exchanged glances and returned to their own private rooms. Obviously, with such an unexpected existence as the Divine Immortal Sect appearing, they all needed to plan carefully.
Elder Qinsheng also led Elder Zhuqin back to the depths of the Qin Yun Pavilion.
"Elder, how credible do you think Sect Master Wang's words are?" Elder Zhuqin asked as they walked. If the Divine Immortal Sect was truly as terrifying as Wang Feng said, their Qin Yun Pavilion would probably have to give way to them.
"The truth will be revealed soon enough!" Hearing Elder Zhuqin's words, a profound smile appeared on Elder Qinsheng's wrinkled face as she murmured.
"You mean...?"
"The Four Directions Palace is not so easy to provoke! If they can withstand it, five points of credibility; if they cannot, then they are just clowns!" Elder Qinsheng shook her head and whispered.
Hearing this, Elder Zhuqin was shocked, and a hint of anticipation flickered in her beautiful eyes. She wanted to see if the Divine Immortal Sect was as terrifying as Wang Feng claimed!
....
"What bullshit Divine Immortal Sect, unheard of! And fighting against Heaven, simply laughable! If they were truly that powerful, this world would have long been theirs!"
In the Heaven Heart Sect's private room, the Daoist robe-clad beautiful woman said angrily. Wang Feng's scene of being sought after by many great sect powerhouses just now made her very unhappy. She, a dignified Elder of the Heaven Heart Sect, a Profound Sovereign Realm expert, had never been treated with such courtesy by many great sect powerhouses. What qualifications did Wang Feng, this young brat, have?
The Daoist robe-clad beautiful woman was indeed shocked by Ximen Chuixue's sword strike, but so what? Just one expert; what use could that be? "Hmph, an ignorant and arrogant brat, this Elder wants to see how your so-called ancient hidden great sect will withstand the wrath of the Four Directions Palace!" Then, as if thinking of something, the Daoist robe-clad beautiful woman sneered.
Compared to the Daoist robe-clad beautiful woman's anger and jealousy, Li Tianxin still maintained her tranquil and elegant demeanor. But in fact, at this moment, Li Tianxin was also asking herself in her heart: "Master, do you think what Sect Master Wang said is true?"
"There is a high probability that it is true!" A solemn, gentle voice echoed in Li Tianxin's mind, causing Li Tianxin's entire delicate body to tremble.
"Why? Did you discover something?" Li Tianxin quickly asked. If it were true, perhaps the thought in her heart could be realized, allowing her to escape this ruthless demonic cave!
"Just now, observing Sect Master Wang at close range, although there was a mysterious power shielding him, for an instant, I still managed to detect his cultivation."
"What is Sect Master Wang's cultivation?" A gleam flickered in Li Tianxin's beautiful eyes as she quickly asked.
"Profound Sovereign Realm Peak Stage!"
"Hmm?" Hearing the voice in her mind, although Li Tianxin was shocked, she was even more puzzled.
"Are you wondering why the Sect Master of a dignified ancient hidden great sect, with such a terrifying heritage, only has Peak Profound Sovereign Realm cultivation?"
"Yes!" Hearing the words of her true master, Li Tianxin nodded. Peak Profound Sovereign Realm cultivation was indeed very terrifying, but it was not worthy of the identity of a Sect Master of an ancient hidden great sect.
"What if I told you that he is only in his early twenties?"
"What?"
Li Tianxin's pupils constricted, and a monstrous wave surged in her heart. Although Wang Feng was young and extraordinarily handsome, Li Tianxin had always assumed that Wang Feng, as the master of a dignified hidden great sect, must be an old monster who had lived for countless years, only possessing the skills to maintain a youthful appearance.
"It's true. Although I only probed for a moment when he wasn't paying attention, I used a secret technique that could not only detect his cultivation but also his bone age."
"It is precisely because of this that I speculate that what Sect Master Wang said is likely true! Reaching Peak Profound Sovereign Realm in his early twenties—there are no such prodigies within the Three Great Empires, right?"
Hearing the words echoing in her mind, Li Tianxin's beautiful eyes became somewhat dull. She naturally believed her true master, but her master's words were too shocking.
Not only were there no such prodigies within the Three Great Empires, even in the wider world beyond the Three Great Empires, such terrifying prodigies might not exist.
In his early twenties, reaching Peak Profound Sovereign Realm—what kind of concept was that? His future achievements would probably far exceed ordinary people's imaginations.
"Not only that!"
"What else is there?" Li Tianxin subconsciously asked. She had been completely stunned, her mind blank. At the same time, she was even more excited, which meant that the thought in her heart had a chance of being realized.
"The two men and one woman beside Sect Master Wang are all at least Profound Sovereign Realm experts, and not ordinary Profound Sovereign Realm experts. Killing your Heaven Heart Sect Elder would be effortless!"
"Although I did not detect the specific cultivation of these three, I could sense that there was an incomparably terrifying power within these three bodies, a powerful force far exceeding ordinary Profound Sovereign Realm experts!"
"Master, if I can join this Divine Immortal Sect, can I escape the Heaven Heart Sect and protect my family?" Hearing the voice in her mind, Li Tianxin could no longer hold back and secretly asked.
Just for an outing, they casually mobilized four Profound Sovereign Realm experts, and each was an extraordinary powerhouse. Even the royal families of the Three Great Empires could not afford such an entourage.
"It's hard for me to judge. After all, that Sect Master Wang is not someone to be trifled with, but it's worth a try! Only with this Divine Immortal Sect do you have a glimmer of hope!"
Hearing this voice in her mind, Li Tianxin was immediately determined. A resolute look flickered in her beautiful eyes. If it were not for her family, she would have long since defected from this ruthless Heaven Heart Sect. This sect only treated her as a tool, not as a disciple!
