In Fairy Lanxin's mind, Xue Shu would eventually take over the position of sect leader of Chao Sheng Sect, so getting to know these people in advance would be very helpful for Xue Shu in taking power in the future.
After a round, Fairy Lanxin led Xue Shu back to the main seat.
This table is even more impressive, filled with Immortal Lords and powerful figures. There are not only patriarchs from certain sects, but also reclusive living fossils, the sect master of Fengtian Sect, the number one sect in the region, and of course, Pill Emperor Chen Tianwen!
As per custom, after everyone toasted Fairy Lanxin, the banquet officially began.
During this time, the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect tried to talk to Fairy Lanxin many times, but Fairy Lanxin's attitude remained aloof. She always responded indifferently to the Sect Master's attempts to be attentive.
In the past, the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect would not have cared at all, because Fairy Lanxin was a cold and aloof person. However, seeing Fairy Lanxin's enthusiasm for Chen Tianwen today, the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect felt something different.
Every time the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect was treated coldly by Fairy Lanxin, he couldn't help but wonder what Fairy Lanxin's reaction would be if Chen Tianwen had done the same thing.
Although the sect leader of Fengtian Sect was unwilling to believe it, after analysis, he also came to the conclusion that Fairy Lanxin would definitely treat Chen Tianwen with some respect, but would not be as cold to him as she was to him!
Without comparison, there is no harm. So now the Fengtian Sect Master is increasingly displeased with Chen Tianwen. If it weren't for the possibility that Chen Tianwen might have some connection with the Shengyun Sect, the Fengtian Sect Master would really have lost his temper!
Poor Chen Tianwen, he did nothing wrong, yet he was inexplicably hated by the sect leader of Fengtian Sect.
The awkward silence from the Fengtian Sect Master created a slightly uncomfortable atmosphere at the main table.
A powerful immortal with a full head of silver hair broke the awkward silence:
"Sect Master Lan, I've heard that your sect's Holy Maiden ascended to the Upper Realm less than a few decades ago and has already reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm? Truly, she is unprecedented!"
Fairy Lanxin nodded. In order not to be too shocking, Fairy Lanxin announced to the public that Xue Shu had ascended to heaven almost a hundred years ago.
In reality, when Chen Tianwen left the Xuan Tian Realm, Xue Shu was only at the Refinement Void stage. In just over ten years, Xue Shu reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!
This speed is even much faster than Chen Tianwen's.
While it was certainly related to Fairy Lanxin bestowing upon Xue Shu the elixir that enhanced her strength, it was also inseparable from Xue Shu's own diligent cultivation.
With the silver-haired immortal taking the lead, everyone else followed suit and began to offer their compliments.
Only the sect leader of Fengtian Sect was displeased. He snorted coldly and said:
"If our strength increases too quickly, our foundation will inevitably become unstable, which is a major taboo for us immortals! When we try to reach higher realms in the future, our rapid progress now may become our biggest obstacle!"
Lan Xin Fairy's face turned cold, and she spoke coldly to the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect:
"What does Sect Master Qi mean by this? It's understandable that Saintess Xue Shu's cultivation level can improve rapidly because her teachings are compatible with our Chao Sheng Sect's scriptures! Are you suggesting that your Holy Son can cultivate to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in a hundred years, while our Holy Maiden's foundation is unstable and she will have little to show for herself in the future?"
Although this was the first time Fairy Lanxin had spoken so much to the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect, the Sect Master couldn't be happy at all. Instead, every word Fairy Lanxin uttered made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
The sect leader of Fengtian Sect wished he could slap himself. How could his anger towards Chen Tianwen have upset Fairy Lanxin?
Fairy Lanxin was indeed furious. Although Chao Shengzong had always been indifferent to worldly affairs, the purpose of the Holy Maiden's coronation ceremony was to establish the Holy Maiden's authority.
This way, the Holy Maiden's takeover of the position of sect leader of Chao Sheng Sect will proceed smoothly!
However, a single sentence from the sect leader of Fengtian Sect has plunged this plan into a predicament.
Although Xue Shu is currently at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the sect leader of Fengtian Sect said that Xue Shu's foundation is unstable. This means that it will be difficult for Xue Shu to break through to the Immortal Lord realm in the future, and even if she does break through to the Immortal Lord realm, it will be difficult for her to go further on the path of the Immortal Lord.
What authority will Xue Shu have when she takes charge of Chao Shengzong in the future?
The sect leader of Fengtian Sect stammered when asked by Fairy Lanxin, unsure of how to respond.
Fairy Lanxin also stood up and said to everyone present:
"Fellow Daoists, I, the Holy Maiden of Chao Shengzong, will be setting up a arena today to exchange immortal techniques with you young talents. I hope you will all offer your guidance!"
After speaking, Fairy Lanxin sat down angrily.
Strength is always the ultimate truth for cultivators. As long as Xue Shu demonstrates sufficient combat power, those who underestimate her will naturally shut up.
Moreover, a person's strength is often directly proportional to their foundation, which can shut up those who say Xue Shu's foundation is unstable!
Upon hearing Fairy Lanxin's words, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.
Since the crowning ceremony did not include the exchange of magical arts, what was Fairy Lanxin's intention in suddenly bringing it up?
Because the people sitting in the main seats were all of very high status, no one dared to investigate the conversation.
Therefore, no one else knew what the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect had just said, let alone the reason why Fairy Lanxin was angry.
Chen Tianwen sat next to Fairy Lanxin, looking at the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect with amusement in his eyes.
Chen Tianwen could tell that the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect did not do it intentionally, but the reaction it caused was indeed as Fairy Lanxin had predicted. Fairy Lanxin's actions could be considered as taking precautions and preventing problems before they occurred.
However, Chen Tianwen was also somewhat worried, since Xue Shu had been devoted to cultivation all these years and had very few opportunities to participate in actual combat.
Sometimes, when immortals fight, experience is also very important. For example, if two people are evenly matched, the one with more experience will definitely have an advantage!
And that's exactly what Xue Shu lacks.
Although Xue Shu had just obtained many Dao-rank immortal artifacts, she was unable to use them.
Firstly, because I just obtained the Dao-rank Immortal Artifact and haven't refined it yet, its effects wouldn't be ideal when used.
Secondly, this is a battle for Xue Shu to establish her authority. If she wins by using a Dao-rank immortal artifact, it would be an unfair victory and would not serve the purpose of establishing her authority.
Chen Tianwen looked at Xue Shu with some concern. Xue Shu nodded to Chen Tianwen, indicating that she was alright.
Fairy Lanxin also spoke to Xue Shu:
"Xue Shu, are you willing to fight against these talented young men?"
Xue Shu respectfully bowed to Fairy Lan Xin and said:
"Xue Shu will obey Master's orders."
Fairy Lanxin nodded and glared fiercely at the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect.
Knowing he was in the wrong, the sect leader of Fengtian Sect dared not speak!
