The plan was to defeat Qin Feng and then give him a spot to enter the Lingtian Secret Realm, thus saving face and gaining favor.

But once they clashed, he realized he was wrong. He thought he had already given Qin Feng a high enough evaluation, but in the end, he found that he had still underestimated him.

If he doesn't take things seriously and show some real skill, he's not qualified to do me this favor.

The Domain is a powerful technique of a Nascent Soul cultivator. For a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to compete with an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in terms of Domain is truly bullying the weak.

Qin Feng is young after all; he might not even have finished building his own domain yet.

However, Deng Tianning couldn't care less about that at the moment. He had to protect the reputation of the Heavenly Sword Sect and also do favors for them.

Qin Feng sensed that Deng Tianning had already unleashed his domain, so he didn't overestimate himself and also unleashed his own domain.

However, he gave Deng Tianning another surprise, or rather, a shock.

This even caused Deng Tianning to exclaim in surprise, "What... what's going on with your domain?"

He was surprised to find that Qin Feng's domain was incredibly strong, on par with his own at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and perhaps even had a slight advantage.

Yes, Qin Feng has been continuously improving his domain ever since his battle with Zeng Lusheng and Xu Zhenyang.

During that battle, he learned about some of the shortcomings of his domain and thought about how to improve and strengthen it.

After several months, his domain was now comparable to that of Deng Tianning, who was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

This really startled Deng Tianning, because Qin Feng was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while he was at the late stage.

He must have poured countless hours, effort, and insights into creating this domain to achieve such a level.

Then, out of nowhere, a young upstart appeared and achieved the same result.

The fact that Deng Tianning didn't have a mental breakdown already shows that his Dao heart is stable.
