CHAPTER 327: CHAPTER 326: BEGIN

At this moment, Ling Muchen’s face was somewhat pale. Previously, he had stood not far from Lin Feng’s side, and the over a thousand pairs of murderous eyes had frightened him.

That instant, he felt as if he was already dead. It wasn’t until a little later that Ling Muchen took a deep breath and stepped onto the griffin.

Whoosh!

Once everyone had mounted the griffin, the griffin spread its wings and soared into the sky.

The griffin, worthy of being a level three demon beast, flew incredibly fast, streaking through the clouds like lightning flashes.

The fierce wind battered everyone’s bodies, and many even summoned their protective true qi to form a qi shield around them to fend off the gusts.

Lin Feng stood on the back of the demon beast, looking down at the distant mountains and rivers below, feeling moved.

In his previous life, he never would have had such an opportunity to stand above the heavenly vault, looking down upon the towering mountains and great rivers.

Even flying in an airplane couldn’t compare to this thrill!

Earth Martial Master!

One only needed to reach the realm of Earth Martial Master to be able to fly through the skies!

Lin Feng clenched his fists tightly, knowing that it wouldn’t be long before he reached the realm of Earth Martial Master!

Once he became an Earth Martial Master, after dealing with the matters of Hu Ben Country, Lin Feng planned to leave Tian Yue and seek adventure.

The gap between Earth Martial Master and Great Martial Master was a great divide; Earth Martial Masters were gradually departing from the realm of ordinary mortals.

It was said that an Earth Martial Master could even significantly extend their lifespan, living to a hundred and fifty or sixty years old with ease.

The path of cultivation, where the Qi Refining Realm is only the beginning of martial arts, therefore, Qi Refining Realm martial artists are also called Martial Apprentices.

Great Martial Master martial artists are already quite powerful and have achieved some success in martial arts, so they are called martial masters.

And Earth Martial Master martial artists, having attained a spiritual connection with martial arts, are known as Martial Spirits.

It could be said that once one stepped into the realm of Earth Martial Master, they would already be considered a formidable power in Hu Ben Country.

...

Penglai Fairyland was located within a mountain range in the southwestern part of Hu Ben Country.

Within the mountains lay a vast valley, surrounded by steep cliffs hundreds of meters tall, with virtually no exits.

Half a day after Lin Feng and the others boarded the griffin, they arrived above the valley.

"Penglai Fairyland is right here; let’s go down!"

The Seventh Elder spoke and then led the three griffins to descend into the valley.

Everyone dismounted from the griffins, and the creatures once again took to the skies and left the valley.

Lin Feng scanned the valley and saw that, aside from their group, many others were present.

These people were all dressed in purple robes, with the character ’Hao’ embroidered on the chest.

They were disciples of Haotian Sect!

The number of Haotian Sect disciples exceeded those from Divine Wind Camp, a total of around fourteen to fifteen hundred people.

"Haha! Fortunate to meet all members of Divine Wind Camp!"

In front of the Haotian Sect disciples stood three elders of the sect. Seeing the arrival of the group from Divine Wind Camp, the leading elder gestured in greeting to the Seventh Elder and the others.

"So, it’s Haotian Sect’s Sixth Elder!"

The Seventh Elder greeted the other with a fist salute, glancing over the rank of Haotian Sect disciples, "This time, your sect’s inner sect disciples have a strong lineup indeed!"

The Seventh Elder had keen eyesight and could tell the cultivation level of the Haotian Sect disciples at a glance.

Among the fourteen to fifteen hundred Haotian Sect disciples, there were two hundred experts whose cultivation had reached the ninth layer of Great Martial Master; the lineup was remarkably strong!

The Sixth Elder from Haotian Sect gave a complacent smile and said, "It’s mutual, your sect is not bad either!"

The two Elders exchanged chilly pleasantries, and disciples from both sects sized each other up.

Lin Feng observed the disciples of Haotian Sect and had a look of surprise. Just from the formation, it seemed that Haotian Sect’s disciples were stronger than those of Divine Wind Camp.

"Lin Feng, look, that is Qin Qianyue, the number one expert among Haotian Sect’s Inner Sect!"

Ling Muchen stood about ten steps from Lin Feng, pointed towards a female disciple of Haotian Sect, and spoke to Lin Feng.

Ling Muchen, nowadays, hardly dares to stand with Lin Feng. He’s worried that the disciples of the Dynasty would misunderstand and end up surrounding and attacking him.

In Ling Muchen’s heart, he felt a sense of regret for Lin Feng!

The chances of Lin Feng making it out alive from this trial were slim!

Upon hearing Ling Muchen’s words, Lin Feng looked in the direction Ling was pointing and saw a stunning woman in floating garments with hair cascading like a waterfall.

Her skin was like fine porcelain, and she had both a beautiful face and figure, truly a rare beauty.

Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel astonished; the top disciple of Haotian Sect’s Inner Sect was actually a beautiful woman!

Qin Qianyue from afar seemed to sense Lin Feng’s gaze and suddenly turned her head to look over.

Qin Qianyue merely gave Lin Feng a cold glance before turning her head away, indifferent.

She was the foremost figure of Haotian Sect’s Inner Sect, always the center of attention wherever she went, the dream lover that countless men admired. It was only too normal for her to be the subject of stares.

"Ling Muchen, disciples from the other two sects have not yet arrived; let’s take some time to rest and adjust our state," Lin Feng said to Ling Muchen before finding a large rock to sit on, closing his eyes to focus, and gather strength.

Lin Feng’s current cultivation had, after almost ten days of training, already reached the peak of Great Martial Master Seventh Layer, and he had seen a significant increase in strength.

He had also attempted to break through the bottleneck of his realm twice but was unsuccessful.

The recent rapid progress in his cultivation had seen him ascend two levels successively, but the True Qi in his body was not condensed enough, lacking a bit of tempering.

Of course, if Lin Feng were to activate Star and directly absorb a large amount of Spirit Stones, he was confident he could break through the bottleneck and step into the Great Martial Master Eighth Layer Realm.

However, such forced advancement was not particularly beneficial to him, and he felt steady progress was more appropriate.

Not willing to waste time, Lin Feng continued to refine the True Qi within his body right there.

After about an hour or so, several large birds of prey appeared in the sky.

These were several huge crimson eagles, their bodies seemingly ablaze with red flames, with sizes not inferior to that of griffins.

The Diancang Sect’s people had arrived!

The number of Diancang Sect’s disciples was not much different from that of Divine Wind Camp, roughly around 1,200, each wearing a red robe. All stood together like a vast red sea of fire, extremely eye-catching.

As soon as the disciples of the Diancang Sect landed in the valley, all their gazes immediately turned towards the direction of Divine Wind Camp’s disciples, with many eyes bearing cold, sneering smiles.

"Haha!!"

The Diancang Sect’s lead Elder was one of four elders, and the tall elder who took the lead laughed heartily towards the Seventh Elder.

"So it’s the Seventh Elder of Divine Wind Camp leading the team. I hope that more of your sect’s disciples can make it back this time and not suffer too many casualties!"

The tall elder spoke with a mocking smile on his face, and his words carried an obvious threat and ridicule.

"Hmph!"

The Seventh Elder snorted coldly and said with a sneer, "Zhu Lixing, you should be worried about your Diancang Sect’s disciples. If they suffer heavy losses, you won’t be able to explain when you return!"

The Seventh Elder stood his ground and countered verbally.

The tall elder leading the Diancang Sect, named Zhu Lixing, was also ranked seventh among the Inner Sect Elders of the Diancang Sect.

Upon hearing the words of the Seventh Elder, a strange glint flashed through Zhu Lixing’s eyes, and he sneered, "Let’s let the facts speak for themselves on the actual conditions of battle! I hope you can still manage to laugh then!"
