# Chapter 1246: Teacher's Shock
"I want to see him too." Tianchi Xue spoke indifferently, her gaze flickering, a faint battle intent emanating from her as if she wanted to contend with Lin Feng.
"If Lin Feng returns, I would like to spar with him and see what level his cultivation has reached."
After Tianchi Xue spoke, Snow Venerable and the others saw the fighting spirit in her eyes and revealed smiles, but they did not mind. In the past, Tianchi Xue had been the most outstanding disciple of their Tian Xuan Peak lineage. Later, with the addition of Lin Feng and the others, their talents gradually emerged, becoming terrifyingly strong, completely overshadowing Tianchi Xue. Now that Tianchi Xue wanted to fight Lin Feng, this might not be a bad thing. Perhaps it was precisely because of Lin Feng's existence that Tianchi Xue had been spurred to strive forward, achieving her current cultivation at such a young age.
"Alright, if Lin Feng returns, let him spar with you." Snow Venerable said with a smile, although he did not think Tianchi Xue could match Lin Feng if he returned, he naturally would not say that.
"Autumn Rain, do you often get bullied?" Fire Venerable looked at Han Qiuyu with a smile. Han Qiuyu chuckled awkwardly but said nothing.
"Haha, let's not talk about that. Originally, I had arranged with that fellow Tianjizi to have the younger disciples of the seven main peaks gather seven days from now. But since Tianchi Xue and Han Qiuyu have returned today, why not move it up to today? It's nothing major, just a chance for the disciples of each peak to understand each other's cultivation progress and serve as motivation."
"That works. Where will it be held?" Fire Venerable asked with a smile.
"Right here on our Tian Xuan Main Peak. Keep it casual. I believe the fellow senior and junior brothers won't mind." Snow Venerable smiled. Fire Venerable and Sword Lunatic both nodded slightly. In the past, when various major forces from the Qian Domain attacked Tianchi Snow Mountain, and the events that followed, had a great impact on Tianchi. Snow Venerable's true terrifying strength became known to Tianchi, and Lin Feng, a disciple of Tian Xuan Peak, had laid down a sacred pattern formation for Tianchi. The status of Tian Xuan Peak was no longer what it used to be. Moreover, with the death of Tianshuzi, Tianchi seemed more united. So no one would oppose Snow Venerable's proposal.
At that moment, Snow Venerable stepped forward, crossing into the void, and shouted loudly: "Tian Xuan Peak invites all peak masters to bring the younger disciples of each snow peak to gather at Tian Xuan Main Peak."
The rolling sound spread in all directions, echoing across Tianchi Snow Peak. Immediately, the crowds on the various snow peaks began to stir, gathering their younger disciples to prepare to come to Tian Xuan Peak. They wondered what had gotten into that fellow Snow Venerable, moving the date up for no reason.
Lin Feng was still flickering through the vast white snow. Hearing this rolling sound, his expression froze, and then a gentle smile appeared on his face. It was his teacher's voice. What a coincidence—his teacher was inviting disciples from all peaks to gather at Tian Xuan Main Peak.
"Could it be that Teacher knows I'm coming back?" Lin Feng muttered to himself, thinking narcissistically. His smile was warm and bright. It was rare for him to be so relaxed.
"Teacher!" Lin Feng spoke, and immediately, the rolling sound shot straight toward Tian Xuan Main Peak.
In the void, Snow Venerable's body was about to descend, but hearing this familiar voice, his eyes suddenly froze. Such a familiar voice... it was Lin Feng's voice!
Below, Fire Venerable and Sword Venerable also froze upon hearing the voice. Then a smile appeared on Fire Venerable's face as he whispered with a laugh: "This fellow's timing is perfect!"
"The little lunatic is back!" Sword Lunatic's gaze sharpened, a brilliant sword light flickering in his eyes as if about to tear through the void, looking into the distance.
"Lin Feng!" Tianchi Xue's expression stiffened. Lin Feng was back?
"Lin Feng!" Huo Shiyun's beautiful eyes suddenly lifted, her voice like a dream. A blush appeared on her face from excitement, and her body trembled slightly. Could she see him again?
Soon, under everyone's gaze, a handsome figure appeared, draped in a white robe, spotless and pure. His eyes were clear and penetrating, yet calm and restrained. One look at him brought peace to the mind, very comforting.
"He's back, and he's become stronger." The three venerables smiled, watching the figure rushing toward them.
"Teacher!" Lin Feng stepped forward, stopping in front of his three teachers, a smile on his face. His teachers were still the same. For venerables, a year or two of time did not have much impact.
"Eighth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, good, not bad!" Snow Venerable stepped forward and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder. "Come, let's go down and talk."
The group descended to the ground. Lin Feng also saw Tianchi Xue and Han Qiuyu, nodding to them with a smile. Although there had been some friction with Tianchi Xue in the past, they were all from Tianchi. With his current temperament, he naturally would not dwell on such trivial matters. To him, it was just a small ripple in his life.
Tianchi Xue saw Lin Feng nodding to her with a smile and was momentarily stunned. Then she forced a faint smile, but it was not as natural as Lin Feng's. This left a slight knot in Tianchi Xue's heart. She had always regarded Lin Feng as an imaginary opponent, always wanting to prove something to him. But when they met again, her first reaction seemed to put her at a disadvantage. Lin Feng was so natural.
Then Lin Feng looked at Huo Shiyun, the girl he had met in the Huo family of Dragon Mountain Empire. She was still as clean and beautiful as before, but now her smiling eyes seemed slightly red, staring unblinkingly at Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng..." Huo Shiyun seemed to want to say something but couldn't find the words. She brushed her hair from her forehead, but in the end, she said nothing. Yet her smile grew even brighter, making anyone who saw it feel incredibly at ease, so sweet it seemed to make all worries disappear.
"Shiyun, long time no see!" Lin Feng smiled, breaking the silence. Huo Shiyun also smiled brightly and whispered, "Long time no see."
"Lin Feng, you two... know each other?" Fire Venerable looked at them, his eyes flickering. Not long ago, he had said that if Shiyun met Lin Feng, she might like him. He didn't expect they already knew each other.
"Yes, back when I hadn't come to the Qian Domain yet, I met Shiyun in the Dragon Mountain Empire." Lin Feng said with a smile.
Fire Venerable's eyes flickered, and then he laughed loudly: "That's good, that's good..."
Seeing the meaningful smile on Fire Venerable's face, Huo Shiyun's face involuntarily flushed with a hint of shyness.
"Xiao Feng, after you left Tianchi, did you go to the Eight Wastelands Realm?" Fire Venerable suddenly asked Lin Feng. In the past, a terrifying young powerhouse had descended on the Qian Domain, slashing out reincarnation with a single sword strike, terrifyingly powerful. He announced that Stone Emperor and Yu Emperor were recruiting Martial Emperor's disciples, and then Lin Feng left Tianchi, beginning his long journey. He had only returned today, and they had always wanted to know where Lin Feng had gone and whether he had reached the distant Eight Wastelands Realm.
"I did. I just returned from the Eight Wastelands Realm." Lin Feng said with a smile.
"What is the Eight Wastelands Realm like? Are there many powerhouses?" Fire Venerable seemed particularly curious. Although he had reached the Venerable Martial Realm, he had only been to areas around the Qian Domain. The distant Eight Wastelands Realm existed only in his imagination.
"The Eight Wastelands Realm is vast and boundless. Even Martial Emperors, who can destroy heaven and earth, number in the dozens. They are the true masters of the Eight Wastelands Realm, overlooking heaven and earth. Under each Martial Emperor, there is a terrifying force, including many Venerable Lord-level powerhouses. As for Venerables, they are as numerous as oxen hair. True powerhouses are like clouds. One wasteland of the Eight is countless times more vast than the Qian Domain."
Lin Feng replied with a smile, causing Fire Venerable's eyes to suddenly sharpen, as if he too wanted to go to that distant place to explore.
The vast and boundless Eight Wastelands Realm, with dozens of Martial Emperors who could destroy heaven and earth, and Venerables like him as numerous as oxen hair—so terrifying!
The others also stiffened. Lin Feng had returned from the Eight Wastelands Realm, a place teeming with powerhouses.
"No wonder his cultivation has reached the Eighth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm. He went to the distant Eight Wastelands Realm. But with Lin Feng's cultivation, he probably didn't fare too well there." Tianchi Xue thought to herself.
"Lin Feng, did you try to become a Martial Emperor's disciple?" Fire Venerable stared at Lin Feng. In the past, that powerhouse named Hou Qinglin had said that in half a year, two Martial Emperors would recruit disciples. He wondered if Lin Feng had made it in time.
"I tried."
Lin Feng said with a smile.
"And the result?" The three venerables almost spoke at the same time, seemingly especially eager to know if Lin Feng had become a Martial Emperor's disciple.
Lin Feng looked at his three teachers' expectant eyes, feeling warmth in his heart. His smile was bright: "Naturally, I succeeded!"
"Good!"
"Very good, excellent."
The several venerables seemed especially excited, their eyes flashing with sharp light. A Martial Emperor's disciple—a disciple of their Tianchi had become a Martial Emperor's disciple.
Tianchi Xue and Han Qiuyu's eyes flickered. Lin Feng had actually become a Martial Emperor's disciple.
Huo Shiyun's face showed a happy smile, her fists slightly clenched, as if excited for Lin Feng.
"Teacher, I not only became a Martial Emperor's disciple, but I also personally met the Martial Emperor!" Lin Feng looked at his teachers' excited expressions and continued with a smile: "The Martial Emperor accepted me as a personal disciple!"
"Boom!"
Snow Venerable and the others' hearts trembled violently, their eyes completely frozen. A Martial Emperor, in their eyes, was a powerhouse standing at the peak of the continent. One could imagine how strong the shock Lin Feng's words brought them. Lin Feng had become a Martial Emperor's personal disciple!
Seeing his teachers' excited expressions, Lin Feng's smile grew even wider. If they knew which Martial Emperor he had met, what would their expressions be? Lin Feng wondered if he should let his teachers catch their breath first.
"Teacher, I want to see Senior Uncle Tianjizi. There are some things I want to tell you."
ps: Thanks to Piao You De Lang for tipping 100 Zhulang coins, Mu Li for tipping 588 Zhulang coins, 1323147053 for tipping 1888 Zhulang coins, and Feng Qing Luo Ye for tipping 100 Zhulang coins. Thank you all!
# Chapter 1247: Crushing Tianchi Xue
"You want to see Tianjizi? You have something to tell us?" Snow Venerable and the others were somewhat puzzled.
"That old fellow Tianjizi will come on his own soon. Xiao Feng, Teacher never expected you to become a Martial Emperor's personal disciple, to have such an opportunity. You must cherish it well. Don't be like us useless old men. In the future, you must become a figure who commands the wind and clouds."
Snow Venerable said seriously. Becoming a Martial Emperor's personal disciple—what a great fortune. He had never imagined that Tianchi would have such an outstanding disciple. In the future, he would surely become a dominant force.
"Indeed, it's a great fortune. Xiao Feng's decision to leave the Qian Domain for the Eight Wastelands Realm back then was absolutely correct." Fire Venerable also said excitedly with a smile.
"Nonsense!" Sword Lunatic rudely glared at Fire Venerable, angering him so much that he blew his beard and glared back.
"Lin Feng, you must spar with us today and let us see your progress." Sword Lunatic's eyes were as sharp as swords, staring at Lin Feng. Snow Venerable and Fire Venerable also laughed. They too wanted to see what skills Lin Feng had learned outside.
Tianchi Xue's gaze suddenly turned to Lin Feng. Hearing that Lin Feng had become a Martial Emperor's personal disciple, her heart was also in turmoil, the shock extremely intense. A Martial Emperor—a lofty Martial Emperor—and his personal disciple.
Had Lin Feng left her so far behind? Was the distance she thought she had closed actually unattainable?
"Lin Feng, I want to try sparring with you!" Tianchi Xue said. Her cultivation was at the Sixth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, and she could fight ordinary Seventh Layer Heavenly Martial Realm cultivators. Although she didn't think she could defeat Lin Feng, she wanted to try and see how big the gap between them was, to motivate herself to move forward and strive to catch up to him.
Lin Feng looked at Tianchi Xue, still smiling, but he shook his head slightly. To be honest, Tianchi Xue was not on the same level as him. If they fought, how would he do it?
"Do you look down on me?" Tianchi Xue's expression stiffened, and then she said: "Lin Feng, although you are stronger than me, I will go all out. Even if you want to defeat me, it will take some effort."
With that, Tianchi Xue stood up and stepped into the snow.
Lin Feng smiled bitterly. Snow Venerable saw Lin Feng's smile and gave him a look, nodding slightly.
"Teacher, you want me to?" Lin Feng transmitted his voice.
"Go ahead. Let her know the gap between you. Let her experience this cruelty. If she can get past it, the sky will be wide and the sea vast." Snow Venerable replied. Lin Feng nodded slightly and stood up. If Tianchi Xue couldn't withstand the setback, her martial path wouldn't go far. Better to let her receive a true shock, a powerful spiritual impact, and see if she could get past it and transform.
"I will go all out. You must also go all out. Don't hold back. Let me see your true strength." Tianchi Xue looked at Lin Feng, who had walked to the opposite side. A powerful aura suddenly rose from her. Snowflakes wildly churned, forming a snow vortex. The world was freezing cold. Her snow will was extremely strong. Tianchi Xue's cultivation was at the Sixth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, and her snow will had reached the seventh layer—quite impressive.
"Snow Explosion!" Tianchi Xue stepped forward. The terrifying snow vortex was filled with freezing and violent energy. The snowflakes in the space crazily surged, turning into terrifying explosive forces that blasted toward Lin Feng. Tianchi Xue's body also moved toward him.
But Lin Feng stood there, motionless. In an instant, the terrifying frost engulfed Lin Feng's body. With a loud bang, the violent force crazily struck Lin Feng's body. Just as Tianchi Xue had said, she went all out without holding back, sealing Lin Feng in ice with one strike.
But Tianchi Xue's gaze froze. She felt as if she hadn't struck flesh and blood but something forged from diamond. The terrifying power of the snow explosion hadn't even made Lin Feng's body move.
The snowflakes instantly melted, and Lin Feng's figure appeared. Tianchi Xue's fist was still on him, but his gaze remained so calm, without any fluctuation. This made Tianchi Xue feel a chill throughout her body. Her terrifying attack couldn't even make Lin Feng move? Was the gap really that terrifying?
"Too weak!" Lin Feng's voice came out, making Tianchi Xue's heart tremble violently. Too weak?
"Freeze!" Tianchi Xue rotated her palm. The terrifying snow will went wild, and frost filled the sky. But no matter how terrifying the frost was, the moment it touched Lin Feng's body, it turned to nothing. Lin Feng stood there like an immovable giant peak.
"After cultivating for so long, is this all the strength you have?"
Lin Feng's voice was so cruel, like a heavy hammer pounding on Tianchi Xue's body.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Tianchi Xue continuously attacked Lin Feng's body, but it was useless. The gap was too great, too great for Tianchi Xue to imagine.
"Your progress is no different from an ant's. If this continues, what martial path can you talk about?" Lin Feng kept attacking Tianchi Xue verbally. Beside them, Han Qiuyu's expression turned ugly. His body flickered, and he shouted angrily: "Let me try you!"
His book martial soul appeared, shining brightly. But Lin Feng turned his gaze to Han Qiuyu and shouted one word: "Scram!"
The single word was like a thunderbolt from the blue. In the void, there seemed to be terrifying thunder. With a loud boom, Han Qiuyu's body flew backward, continuously spitting blood, trembling uncontrollably.
"Autumn Rain!" Tianchi Xue's expression stiffened. She flickered toward Han Qiuyu and supported him. Her face was deathly pale. She had never dreamed that facing Lin Feng again would be so cruel. A single shout from Lin Feng was something they couldn't withstand.
Slowly turning her gaze, Tianchi Xue looked at Lin Feng, feeling so powerless.
"Can you show me your true strength?" Tianchi Xue's eyes were red as she stared at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng said nothing. He simply extended his hand. In an instant, thunder exploded. In Lin Feng's palm, he held terrifying lightning. Soon, his entire body was bathed in lightning. Rumbling sounds descended from the sky. Dazzling thunderbolts flashed, striking the snow peak. Soon, this snow peak turned into a world of lightning. In heaven and earth, there seemed to be only lightning. Lin Feng had become the Thunder God.
"Boom!" A bolt of lightning exploded in front of Tianchi Xue, startling her so much that she closed her eyes, her face pale. The annihilating pressure made her feel as if she would be struck dead. But when she opened her eyes, she still only saw the young figure standing there calmly. The power of lightning slowly faded. Any single bolt of lightning striking her could take her life.
Han Qiuyu's gaze was frozen, his heart trembling violently. In the past, he had fought alongside Lin Feng. But the young man of the past had now grown to a level he could only look up to.
As for Tianchi Xue, there was no trace of color left on her face. Suddenly, she laughed, as if mocking herself. Could she shake Lin Feng? She wanted to try sparring with him?
No wonder Lin Feng had shaken his head and refused. With such a gap between them, was there any need for a sparring match?
Even Lin Feng's three teachers' hearts trembled violently, twitching fiercely. The power of essence—and it was the destructive essence of lightning.
"Martial Emperor, personal disciple!"
At this moment, Snow Venerable and the other two seemed to realize the weight of this identity. Was it really so easy to become a Martial Emperor's personal disciple? Would the lofty Martial Emperor, overlooking all living beings, take on disciples so easily? Obviously not. It could only mean that their good disciple Lin Feng's talent had reached a terrifying level.
"We can't see through him anymore!" Snow Venerable sighed, looking at Fire Venerable and Sword Lunatic. But the smile on his face was so gratifying. They could no longer see through Lin Feng.
As for Huo Shiyun, the clean smile in her beautiful eyes was still so bright, so radiant.
"What you saw is just the tip of the iceberg. Moreover, in the Eight Wastelands Realm, people like me are everywhere. Will you still have pride? Will you still think you're good?" Lin Feng's cold voice sounded again, leaving Tianchi Xue numb. What she saw was just the tip of the iceberg? In the Eight Wastelands Realm, people like him were everywhere?
How narrow was the world she had seen!
"Thank you!" Suddenly, a smile appeared on Tianchi Xue's icy face as she said to Lin Feng. Then she exchanged a glance with Han Qiuyu. They too wanted to go to the Eight Wastelands Realm and see the geniuses there!
Lin Feng smiled and said nothing more. Now it was up to them—whether they could break through their mental barriers.
"Lin Feng is back!" At this moment, a group of figures rolled in from the distance. Lin Feng turned his gaze and saw Tianjizi's ethereal figure. He stepped forward and called out with a smile: "Senior Uncle!"
"You haven't been back for so long, and your cultivation has reached the Eighth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm. Not bad!" Tianjizi was all smiles, leading the disciples of Tianji Peak to descend on Tian Xuan Main Peak.
"Haha, I was wondering who had broken into Tianchi. So it's Lin Feng back." Yaoguang Peak Master also arrived with his people.
"Lin Feng!" Yuheng Peak Master drifted over. Then, figures descended one after another. Except for Tianshu Peak, which had changed peak masters, the other peak masters were all familiar with Lin Feng. Lin Feng greeted each one in turn, humble and polite.
"I say, Old Man Xue, did you deliberately set the date for today because Lin Feng was back, so he could bully the disciples of our six peaks?" Yaoguang Peak Master joked.
"If Xiao Feng makes a move, then there's no need for a competition today!" Snow Venerable said with a smile. The other peak masters all looked at Lin Feng. Since Snow Venerable said so, it was clear that Lin Feng's combat strength was now very formidable. They wondered what level he had reached.
ps: I'm out of town today, so the update is a bit late. Sorry. Ever since I exploded with eight chapters last time, the flowers have been in single digits every day. I don't know what's going on. The more I explode, the worse it gets. Many brothers keep shouting for explosions, but now I don't even know what passion is anymore. Some friends will curse again, saying I only care about flowers every day, that writing is my job. But let me give an analogy: writing is like working. Everyone goes to work or school every day, but it gets boring, tasteless, and tiring, doesn't it? The encouragement and affirmation from leaders and teachers are like flowers, and bonuses and exam results are like tips. They make your work and study full of vitality, right? The answer is obvious. This way, you will do your work better, right? I ask for flowers just to push myself, to make myself better, not just to complete a task!
