Chapter 65: Sect Master Feng Xiaotian

The flying boat quickly arrived outside the mountain gate of the Dao Saint Sect.

After settling Wang Guofeng at the reception area, Zhang Yuhe transformed into a stream of light and quickly flew toward the depths of the Sect.

After a short while, he arrived outside a grand hall.

Fengming Hall.

This was precisely where Lu Mingfang handled affairs.

Zhang Yuhe walked into the grand hall and discovered that besides Lu Mingfang, Li Tian was unexpectedly inside as well.

"Disciple Zhang Yuhe greets Elder Lu."

"Eh, Senior Brother is here too."

Zhang Yuhe respectfully cupped his fists in salute to Lu Mingfang, and then warmly greeted Li Tian.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered that Li Tian had actually broken through to the Refining Void Realm.

As far as he knew, Li Tian had only been cultivating for over nine hundred years until now.

Cultivating to the Refining Void Realm in over nine hundred years, he truly lived up to being the Senior Brother of the Dao Saint Sect.

This talent was not something ordinary people could compare to.

"Senior Brother, you've broken through? Congratulations, congratulations."

Facing Zhang Yuhe's words of congratulations, a trace of a smile was reluctantly squeezed onto Li Tian's stern face.

"It's just luck, incomparable to Junior Brother Zhang."

"Junior Brother only used a hundred years of time to Cultivate to the Refining Void Realm; this is truly unprecedented, and I am afraid there will be no one after you either."

"Senior Brother is too polite. I am only a bit more diligent than others."

Li Tian was left utterly speechless.

Was this even human talk?

Only you are diligent?

Could it be that everyone else sleeps all day long?

Within the Dao Saint Sect, diligent Disciples were as numerous as ox hairs, but those who could ultimately Cultivate to the Refining Void Realm were less than one in ten thousand.

Not to mention spending only a hundred years to Cultivate to the Refining Void Realm.

The most fundamental aspect of the Dao of cultivation still relied on innate talent.

People with insufficient innate talent could not go too far no matter how diligent they were.

The so-called Heaven-Defying actions were nothing more than self-hypnosis by mediocre people.

Originally, Li Tian was extremely confident in his own innate talent.

He possessed the rare Fire Spirit Physique that appeared once in ten thousand years, and everyone up and down the Dao Saint Sect nurtured him as a seed for Ascension.

They hoped that one day he could ascend to the Immortal Realm and re-establish contact with the Sect in the Upper Realm.

However, seeing Zhang Yuhe now,

Li Tian felt that the innate talent he once took pride in was nothing more than a little brother in front of Zhang Yuhe.

There was simply no comparison.

…

Lu Mingfang stood to the side, feeling the Refining Void Realm Aura radiating from Zhang Yuhe's body, remaining silently speechless.

Regarding this Disciple whom he had misjudged in the beginning, he truly did not know what to say.

Back then, he thought this kid was just a lucky person who accidentally picked up a token.

He didn't care much at all, and simply took Zhang Yuhe into the inner Sect according to the Sect's rules to settle the matter.

But how could he have imagined that only a hundred years had passed, and this kid had already broken through to the realm of Refining Void.

How much time did he himself use back then to break through to the Refining Void Realm?

Was it five thousand years or six thousand years?

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfang felt a faint trace of sorrow.

People are just afraid of comparison.

Once compared with exceptionally outstanding people, it becomes very uncomfortable.

At this moment, Lu Mingfang and Li Tian in the grand hall had precisely this kind of feeling.

"Alright, let's go meet the Sect Master first. Follow me."

Lu Mingfang spoke to interrupt their conversation, then transformed into a stream of light and flew toward the depths of the Sect.

Zhang Yuhe and Li Tian hurriedly flew up to follow.

After a short while, they arrived at the foot of a mountain that towered into the clouds.

The peak was shrouded in a sheet of clouds and mist, and occasionally some buildings could be seen looming vaguely on the mountaintop.

A stone step path meandered straight up from the foot of the mountain, seeing no end.

At the entrance of the path, a tall stone tablet stood erect.

Inscribed on the stone tablet were three large characters: "Dao Saint Peak".

The handwriting was graceful and handsome, as if countless Dao rhythms were hidden within it.

"Let's go, the Sect Master is waiting in the Ancestor Hall."

Lu Mingfang flicked his sleeves and strode rapidly toward the mountaintop along the stone step path.

Li Tian and Zhang Yuhe followed closely behind.

Very quickly, they arrived at the end of the path.

They saw a magnificent building standing atop the mountain.

On the plaque of the building's gate, three large characters were written: Ancestor Hall.

The three of them walked into the Ancestor Hall, and a middle-aged man in white was standing solemnly in the center of the grand hall.

The middle-aged man in white did not reveal any Aura, and Zhang Yuhe completely could not tell his cultivation level.

Seeing the middle-aged man in white, Lu Mingfang and Li Tian respectfully shouted:

"Greetings, Sect Master."

Zhang Yuhe hurriedly followed and shouted:

"Disciple Zhang Yuhe greets the Sect Master."

Dao Saint Sect Sect Master Feng Xiaotian—he had only heard his name before, and this was the first time seeing him in person.

Rumor had it that Feng Xiaotian had extraordinary talent since childhood, and after entering the Dao Saint Sect, he soared straight up.

Reaching Soul Transformation in three hundred years, Refining Void in eight hundred years, and advancing to the Mahayana realm in less than twenty thousand years.

Compared to Li Tian now, he was even somewhat stronger.

Not only that, Feng Xiaotian was also one of the only two Mahayana Cultivators currently in the Dao Saint Sect.

Besides Feng Xiaotian, the Dao Saint Sect had another Mahayana Ancestor.

However, that Mahayana Ancestor had not shown his face for several thousand years.

Not to mention ordinary Sect Disciples, even most Sect Elders had only heard his name, and not many had seen him in person.

The path of Immortal cultivation was difficult at every single step.

Although the Dao Saint Sect dominated the entire Yu Fantian, cultivating a Mahayana Cultivator was still extremely difficult.

Fortunately, Mahayana Cultivators had long Lifespans; if free from disasters and tribulations, they could live for nearly one hundred thousand years.

Such a long time was enough for the Dao Saint Sect to produce a second Mahayana Cultivator.

Therefore, ever since the establishment of the Sect, the Mahayana Legacy of the Dao Saint Sect had never been cut off.

…

Feng Xiaotian turned his head to look at the three of them. When he saw Zhang Yuhe, he said with a smile:

"Your name is Zhang Yuhe? Not bad at all."

"Refining Void in a hundred years—not to mention in Yu Fantian, judging from the classics left behind by the Ancestral Master, even in the Immortal Realm, there are not many people like this."

"Cultivate well. With your innate talent, given time, you will inevitably lead a step ahead of us and ascend to the Immortal Realm."

"I hope that one day, you can lead the Dao Saint Sect toward glory in the Immortal Realm, allowing us to bask in your glory as well."

Hearing Feng Xiaotian's words, Zhang Yuhe hurriedly responded:

"Thank you for the encouragement, Sect Master. This Disciple will naturally keep it engraved in my heart, Cultivate diligently, and not dare to relax for even a moment."

"Very good, the two of you follow me to pay respects to the Ancestral Master."

Feng Xiaotian flicked his sleeves and brought them to the main hall of the Ancestor Hall.

A statue of an Immortal in cyan robes stood right in the center of the grand hall.

The Immortal carried a long sword on his back, stepped on auspicious clouds, and his cyan robes fluttered; at a glance, one could tell he was extraordinarily extraordinary.

Feng Xiaotian respectfully bowed toward the Immortal's statue, then turned back to tell the two of Zhang Yuhe:

"This is the Founding Ancestor of our Dao Saint Sect, and also the Golden Immortal Ancestor of the Dao Saint Sect in the Immortal Realm, Old Ancestor Lu Yunfei."

"Come over and pay respects to the Ancestral Master."

Zhang Yuhe and Li Tian hurriedly walked to the front of the statue and respectfully bowed.

The form of paying respects to the Ancestral Master was much simpler than Zhang Yuhe had imagined.

They simply bowed to the statue, and then finished and walked out of the grand hall without any complicated procedures.

Standing outside the gate of the grand hall, Feng Xiaotian said to the two of them:

"Bring out your identity jade tokens."

They hurriedly handed over the jade tokens.

Feng Xiaotian took the jade tokens and reached out to carve inscriptions out of thin air.

After a short while, he handed the jade tokens back.

"Alright. From now on, you are Elders of the Dao Saint Sect. You must strictly remember the Sect rules and maintain the stability of the Mortal Realm."

"Yes."

Zhang Yuhe and Li Tian responded affirmatively.

Feng Xiaotian turned his head again and said to Lu Mingfang:

"The Dao Saint Sect has newly promoted two Elders. Broadcast this matter to the world, and leave the subsequent matters for you to handle."

"Yes."

After Feng Xiaotian finished speaking, his figure flashed and instantly vanished without a trace.
