The disciples and elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect were eagerly anticipating the contest between Nascent Soul cultivators.
Deng Tianning, the sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, was now in a real bind, wondering how to deal with Qin Feng.
He thought about it again and realized that three of the four people in Qin Feng's group had already been verified, and each one was more extraordinary than the last.
So, would Qin Feng, who is in charge, be bad?
The answer is, of course, no.
Given this, if Qin Feng were to choose a Nascent Soul cultivator of the same realm to fight, he would most likely lose anyway, which would be pointless.
In that case, his Heavenly Sword Sect would have lost from top to bottom. He wanted to befriend Qin Feng, not to be humiliated by him.
Deng Tianning's mind raced, and he came up with what he considered a pretty good solution.
He smiled and said to Qin Feng, "Young friend Qin, what do you think of this? I never expected you to be such a prodigy, already a Nascent Soul cultivator at such a young age."
The members of the Heavenly Sword Sect nodded repeatedly. Nascent Soul cultivators were usually old men, and they had never seen a Nascent Soul cultivator in their teens before, at least not in the Yizhou region.
Being able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage is already an extraordinary feat, let alone the Deity Transformation stage? I wouldn't even dare to dream of it.
But they saw it with their own eyes today.
They looked at Qin Feng with complex and incomprehensible emotions, including envy, jealousy, hatred, and deep awe.
Qin Feng looked at Deng Tianning, listening to what he had to say.
Deng Tianning continued:
“The Nascent Soul Venerables are already at the level of Supreme Elders in our Heavenly Sword Sect. Under normal circumstances, I, as the sect leader, have no authority over them.”
Young friend, what do you think of this? I've been watching their duel and I'm itching to try my hand at it. How about I play with you instead?
"I won't take advantage of you. I'll fight you at the same level. If you can withstand ten moves, I'll admit defeat. How about it?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng couldn't help but re-examine Deng Tianning. He could sense that Deng Tianning possessed a very strong aura, at least at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, or even the late-stage.
Even if Deng Tianning lowers his cultivation level, he will still have the upper hand; those who know, know.
Understanding of realms, comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth, and control of spiritual power—these all provide advantages.
However, Deng Tianning's final addition that he would win if he could withstand ten more moves was still reasonable.
The disciples and elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect were unhappy when they heard that their sect leader was going to personally take part in the fight.
As the head of a sect, Deng Tianning held a high position in the hearts of the Tianjian Sect members. They found it hard to accept that their sect leader had personally intervened.
"Sect Master, you mustn't! What is your status? This is inappropriate."
"That's right, I admit this kid is exceptionally talented, but he's not so talented that it would require you to personally intervene."
Deng Tianning pressed his hands together lightly, quieting the noisy scene down.
"Please calm down. What's with all this talk about status? I'm just a cultivator, no different from you."
Don't you understand after what happened today? You consider yourselves disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect to be superior, but as you've seen, you're utterly vulnerable.
The real key is to cultivate diligently and steadily. Lately, your minds have been too restless, constantly thinking about trivial matters. It's time to calm down and cultivate properly.
Then he looked at Qin Feng and asked, "What do you think, young friend?"
The others also looked at Qin Feng, wondering if he would agree.
Qin Feng laughed heartily, "Why not? Please enlighten me, senior."
Deng Tianning nodded and stepped onto the Fengyuntai platform.
Seeing this, Qin Feng followed without hesitation.
Seeing that they couldn't persuade Deng Tianning, the members of the Heavenly Sword Sect stopped trying and started discussing the matter.
"How many moves do you think Qin Feng can withstand from the sect leader?"
"Hehe, I think it would be quite good if he could withstand three moves. The sect leader has ascended to heaven, and even if he lowers his cultivation, this kid is still better than him."
"I think so too. I think three moves is too much. It would be good if he could withstand one move."
Most of the Heavenly Sword Sect members shared this view, even Little Stone and Lin Ruxue believed it.
If there's one person in the Heavenly Sword Sect who has confidence in Qin Feng, it's the carefree True Monarch Zhang Kaicheng.
He always felt that Qin Feng was very mysterious, and that anything impossible happening to Qin Feng seemed reasonable.
Little Stone knew Qin Feng was very powerful, but compared to their sect leader, he felt he was still lacking.
Little Stone looked at Leng Yuexi, Yin Tiantian, and Xiao Fan, whose expressions remained unchanged, and asked in confusion:
"Aren't you worried at all? That's the sect leader!"
Leng Yuexi replied calmly, "Don't worry, he's stronger than you think."
Xiao Fan nodded firmly, "Brother Stone, don't worry, we won't lose."
Yin Tiantian pouted, "Instead of wasting your time, you should think about how to celebrate for us. We've already won."
Seeing how much confidence the three of them had in Qin Feng, Little Stone could only scratch his head.
On the stage of wind and clouds,
The two faced off in mid-air, drawing the attention of the entire audience.
Deng Tianning, with his flowing robes and otherworldly air, looked every bit the immortal.
"Young friend, are you ready?"
Qin Feng looked like an ordinary person, without any powerful aura.
His expression remained calm, showing no sign of panic even when facing Deng Tianning. "I am always ready to receive your guidance, senior."
Upon hearing this, Deng Tianning nodded, and a powerful aura emanated from his body, causing ripples to spread through the space.
The disciples who were closer to the Wind and Cloud Platform unconsciously stepped back a little.
The smiling expression he had shown offstage had vanished, and he had transformed into a sharp swordsman.
Deng Tianning dared not be careless when facing Qin Feng.
This move had two purposes: first, to test Qin Feng's strength, the person whom Ancestor Zhou Jian valued so highly; and second, to save face for the Heavenly Sword Sect.
