"Dao Ling, calm down. It's normal for a bunch of juniors to be arrogant and naive. Besides, they're not wrong. My Duntian Sect is indeed not good at fighting."

Moreover, they were already quite powerful, so it's normal for them to feel resentful upon hearing news about the younger generation from the ancestral land. Besides, it was said that Wang Zheng had repelled the Demon Lord's avatar, heh…”

Dao Ling Dao Ren was willing to listen to the advice of his peers and friends, but as the person in charge of the Discipline Hall, he naturally wouldn't tolerate these juniors gossiping.

He simply turned to the kind-hearted array master in front of him and said with a stern face:

"Even if you are a transmission elder of the Duntian Sect, when will you ever change this kind of pushover temper..."

As the two men's conversation gradually faded away, they began to carefully perform the final teleportation checks. Only then did the group of teenagers breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, the Dao Fa Sect's Discipline Hall had a notorious reputation, so who would dare to go inside?

At this moment, many people were complaining and blaming the Five Elements Sect's disciple for speaking arrogantly, which resulted in them all being reprimanded.

Although it is said that the law does not punish the masses, if there are any more such strange things, they will probably suffer again this time!

As for the attitudes of Dao Ling Zhenren and Wu Suan Dashi, it's simply a case of the superiors setting an example for the subordinates.

If they hadn't always taken Blue Star's strength too seriously, these juniors wouldn't have dared to be so reckless.

In fact, since the decision to explore Earth was made, there have been many people with similar thoughts to them.

Although the various blessed lands can exchange information, in addition to China, the seniors of the Duntian Sect have also obtained a lot of information about Earth through various channels.

Even though they had learned from various sources that the strength on Earth had increased dramatically and that many extraordinary individuals had reached a level comparable to their own, this deep-seated arrogance and prejudice was difficult to eliminate.

For young people, however, the name Wang Zheng is an obstacle they cannot avoid.

However, they learned about this youngest grandmaster in China from other countries who had advanced to the Innate Realm at the age of only 17, and who was also known to be ferocious and extremely irritable.

He showed no mercy to either the demon king or his fellow humans, and even the Heavenly Demon King was worn down to death by this kid.

Therefore, upon learning that this experience would most likely involve dealing with this super genius from China, the elders naturally offered their advice.

For example, things like "be mindful of your actions, control your temper, and avoid impulsiveness," etc.

These words are all very reasonable, but who among them doesn't feel like they are the chosen ones?

How could I feel inferior to the natives of Earth?

This well-intentioned reminder only fueled the rebellious spirit of these young people. Elder Hua Tian saw through this, which is why he sighed and left dejectedly.

Now that their elders were no longer around, the most outstanding geniuses in this grotto-heaven shared a surprisingly similar thought.

They were all eager to compete with the most talented young man on Earth.

Although they acknowledged in their hearts that the 17-year-old was remarkable and his achievements even surpassed those of his peers, they were no longer 17 years old!

At this moment, a commotion arose from the crowd.

Faced with the complaints of his fellow disciples, the direct disciple of the Five Elements Sect became even more indignant and couldn't help but say defiantly:

"Although I admit that it was my fault for talking about my seniors behind their backs, I really don't agree with Wang Zheng!"

Speaking of which, apart from Junior Sister Yao Yao, who is the youngest and just one step away from reaching the Innate Realm, who among us isn't already at the Innate Realm?

Senior Brother Linghu had already entered the Innate Realm five years ago, and he is only twenty-three years old now.

"We both broke through to the Innate Realm at the age of 17. One is a true disciple of our Tai Xuan Si Zhen sect, and the other is a rootless rogue cultivator from the Land of Dharma Decline. I refuse to believe that their so-called extraordinary masters from that backward land can compare to our Innate Realm!"

By this time, all the elders had left, and the group of young people immediately became bolder and started talking without restraint.

Upon hearing this person's statement, others immediately chimed in to agree.

"That's right. Everyone has witnessed Senior Brother Linghu's strength. Moreover, with so many years of experience, why should we be so wary of a junior who has just stepped into this realm!"

The two of them took turns speaking, and soon more and more geniuses joined the discussion, making the scene uncontrollable and almost turning into a "slaughtering" conference.

While the younger generation was chatting animatedly, Yao Yao, the junior sister who had been singled out, was not happy about it.

"Hey, you guys aren't even members of my Daoist sect, so why are you so smug!"

And praising Senior Brother Linghu is one thing, I have no problem with that, but why should I be dragged into it?

I'm only 15! Who among you had my abilities at 15? Living a few more years isn't anything special, hehe~"

A slightly coquettish voice rang out, and the disciple of the Five Elements Sect immediately came out with a smile to apologize.

"Pah, pah, pah! It was my mistake, Senior Brother. Please forgive my slip of the tongue, Junior Sister Qin. You are intelligent and strong, and you are also protected by a magical artifact given to you by the elders of the sect. Taking down a mere Grandmaster on Blue Star is naturally a piece of cake..."

"You mean I'm only able to stand here because of my magical artifacts, and that my own strength is lacking?"

"This...this...that's not what Senior Brother meant..."

Faced with his junior sister's cunning, the once spirited young man immediately panicked, but he quickly realized what was going on after seeing her darting eyes.

"Junior sister, you're teasing me again..."

Everyone burst into laughter, filling the summit of Mount Ling with a joyful atmosphere.

It's clear that although these young people come from different sects, times have changed.

Because everyone shares a common enemy—the Heavenly Demon—and faces the threat of annihilation that could destroy the world at any moment, the various sects have temporarily set aside their differences.

There's less sordidness among the younger generation, and they generally get along quite harmoniously.

With Qin Yao joining the discussion, the atmosphere among the group of teenagers became even more lively.

However, no matter how this topic is discussed, it always revolves around the most crucial figure.

Seeing that even the sect leader's most beloved granddaughter had stepped forward, Linghu Yiyun, the senior disciple of the same sect and regarded by everyone as the leader of the younger generation, also stepped forward.

"There's no need for everyone to argue anymore. Wang Zheng's strength isn't really an important issue. The most crucial thing now after entering Blue Star is to find out the Demon Lord's movements and how he bypassed the boundary barrier."

The senior disciples from various sects have been investigating for so long without finding anything amiss. This matter is not to be underestimated; otherwise, they wouldn't have needed to ask Master Wusuan to come here personally.

As for Wang Zheng... there will be opportunities to fight him eventually. His true strength and whether he's been overhyped will be determined after they've clashed..."
