Chapter 1231: Mu Chen's Reputation
In northern Ba Huang, when Emperor Shi and Emperor Yu were still rising, they had only recruited nine disciples. Nobody thought highly of them, but a little bit over a dozen years later, they started amazing the province.
Especially the three best disciples, Mu Chen, Hou Qing Lin and Tian Chi the monk. They had never lost any battle.
Tian Chi the Buddhist monk's golden body was almost indestructible. Hou Qing Lin controlled reincarnation energies. Mu Chen was extremely strong too, so much so that apart from emperors, nobody could defeat him!
Nobody knew what Mu Chen's limits were, but if no emperor showed up, nobody could defeat him. It was said that Mu Chen had killed a cultivator who was eight hundred years old and had been at the top of the Zun Qi layer already for a hundred years. Grandfather Wen was six hundred years old and was extremely strong, he was at the top of the Zun Qi layer, but nobody would have dared state that he could defeat Mu Chen.
Therefore, when Lin Pheng pronounced Mu Chen's name, the atmosphere became silent instantly. Who did he think he was? Mu Chen!
The old man looked petrified. Lin Pheng was smiling coldly on the inside, his fellow disciple seemed to have a good reputation. Only pronouncing his name sufficed to scare people away. Ruo Xie had also said it, as long as an emperor didn't show up, Mu Chen could defeat anyone.
Therefore, Lin Pheng didn't mind saying that when the old man oppressed him.
"A futile imperial cultivation disciple, you just became part of a group and you dare act that arrogantly. You really need to be taught a lesson." said the old man coldly. An imperial cultivation disciple dared act arrogantly, but there were millions of imperial cultivation disciples in the Ba Huang Province.
"I'm sorry, but I'm now Tiantai's eleventh direct disciple. You said my two teachers should educate me, but they don't have time to take care of worldly affairs and people like you. If Mu Chen heard someone say that, he wouldn't mind exchanging views on cultivation with you. We'll see if your arrogance is justified." said Lin Pheng in a cold way.
A direct disciple? Since it was that way, the old man couldn't say anything. If Chu Yan had defeated Lin Pheng, Tiantai wouldn't have been able to say anything. But if the old man said Lin Pheng wasn't educated, then it meant he had disrespected Lin Pheng's fellow direct disciples and teachers. Mu Chen already had a reason to kill him.
The old man didn't know what to say. In the cultivation world, strength was the most important thing, but honor was important too. His grandson had provoked Lin Pheng and Lin Pheng had taught him a lesson. If he attacked Lin Pheng, it would quickly escalate tension between him and Tiantai.
"Brother Lin Pheng, you're here! Come into the main hall!" said someone happily at that moment. It was Wen Tian Ge, he was wearing white clothes.
"Lin Pheng, he's Lin Pheng!" the crowd was surprised. No wonder! They didn't know Lin Pheng had become a direct disciple already.
"Lin Pheng!" thought the old man. Even though he didn't really care about the newer generations, he had already heard Lin Pheng's name once or twice. He also knew that Tiantai and Tian Long Divine Castle's current war had started because of Lin Pheng.
Lin Pheng glanced at the old man in a cold way. The old man had shut up now!
And now Wen Tian Ge came out and called Lin Pheng, giving him face. He didn't want the old man to continue harassing Lin Pheng either.
Lin Pheng and Qiu Yue Xin followed Wen Tian Ge into the main hall. Qi Jiao Jiao looked even worse. She had told Chu Yan to provoke Lin Pheng to make him lose face, she hadn't thought things would end up that way.
"Brother Wen, not just anyone can enter the main hall, right!" said Qi Jiao Jiao smiling at Wen Tian Ge and then glancing at Lin Pheng and Qiu Yue Xin. In her family, only Qi Tian Sheng could enter the main hall.
Lin Pheng took out the two invitation cards and showed them to Qi Jiao Jiao.
"You forgot what the Diviner told you, don't think too highly of yourself. Outside of your clan you're a nobody, and now I'm warning you, my patience is exhaustible!" said Lin Pheng indifferently. He didn't even glance at her while talking, then he continued walking.
Qi Jiao Jiao was aghast after thinking about he said.
Lin Pheng didn't feel like talking to Qi Jiao Jiao anymore.
Lin Pheng entered the main hall and found that it was very vast, there were a dozen people inside already. Some of them looked incredible while a few looked ordinary, but their strength was unfathomable. Of course, there were people as young as Lin Pheng there too.
In the main hall, Lin Pheng noticed a few people he had already seen, Qi Tian Sheng from the eastern part of Ba Huang, Si Kong from the central part of Ba Huang, Mu Fan Chen from the Magic World, Heavenly Palace and Bai Qiu Luo from the Sunset Pavilion. But now his arm was intact, he must have gotten a new arm.
Bai Qiu Luo looked at Lin Pheng and Qiu Yue Xin calmly. He even smiled in a resplendent way.
It was Grandfather Wen's sixth hundred birthday.
The old man was smiling in a resplendent way. Even though he was six hundred years old, his cheeks were red and he looked very fit. He was sitting on what looked like a real dragon.
"We are Lin Pheng and Qiu Yue Xin from Tiantai. Happy birthday! We wish you much success and hope you can become an emperor as soon as possible!" said Lin Pheng politely bowing in front of the old man.
"Not bad!" said the old man smiling and nodding at Lin Pheng and Qiu Yue Xin. Then he said, "I've been living for a long time and now that geniuses are rising, it seems like I have to hurry along or I'll soon be passed."
"What are you talking about! Even though geniuses are rising in Ba Huang, you'll soon be an emperor. Even if geniuses rise, they'll still look up at you." said someone smiling. That person was wearing a long robe and a helmet.
"Yu Xiao, you're too nice. I don't know when I will be able to break through to the next cultivation layer, but you, you have already broken through to the sixth Zun Qi layer. You'll certainly become an emperor soon!" replied the old man smiling.
Yu Xiao wasn't in the main palace because he had broken through to the sixth Zun Qi layer, but because he was from a powerful family in the central part of Ba Huang: the Godly Xiao Yao Sect.
"You're too kind!" said Yu Xiao polite. He looked at Lin Pheng in a deep and meaningful way. He had seen Lin Pheng back then in Gan Yu. Back then, Lin Pheng was only at the bottom of the Tian Qi layer and now, Lin Pheng had changed. He was at the top of the Tian Qi layer and could already humiliate Zun cultivators such as Chu Yan. Besides, he had become the emperors' direct disciples which meant their social status was similar.
Yu Xiao didn't know that the one who had killed Prince Tian Lin was also in front of him.
Lin Pheng recognized Yu Xiao too. He remembered when Yu Xiao descended from the sky in Asoka and had looked at the crowd in a disdainful way. If Hou Qing Lin hadn't helped Lin Pheng back then, Yu Xiao would have killed him.
However, there was still a big difference between them, Yu Xiao was already a high level Zun cultivator.
"Tian Ge, Lin Pheng, Qiu Yue Xin and you are such young people, you should become good friends." said the old man to Wen Tian Ge.
"Indeed!" said Wen Tian Ge nodding before he sat down next to Lin Pheng and Qiu Yue Xin.
