Tianshu Zi waited on the snow peak for a long time, but no one returned, which put him in a bad mood. Could it be that the peak masters were toying with him?
After waiting a while longer, Tianshu Zi grew impatient and stood up. He stepped forward and headed toward the nearest main peak, Yaoguang Peak. On the way there, he unexpectedly encountered the Snow Eagle from Tianxuan Peak, which stirred an even stranger feeling in his heart.
"Senior Brother, why have you come?" the Yaoguang Peak Master asked with a slight smile upon seeing Tianshu Zi, speaking politely.
"Junior Brother vanished without a trace after we parted. I came to see if something had delayed you."
"There were indeed some matters, so I won't be going to Tianshu Peak for tea and chess. I hope Senior Brother won't take offense." The Yaoguang Peak Master smiled apologetically.
"Then I won't force you, Junior Brother. But regarding the matter I mentioned earlier, what are your thoughts?" Tianshu Zi pressed further.
"What matter?"
A flicker of displeasure crossed Tianshu Zi's heart, though he didn't show it. He continued, "The Tianxuan lineage is ambitious, and its successor, Lin Feng, has a crooked mind and looks down on everyone."
"Senior Brother, you worry too much. Although Tianshu Peak and Tianxuan Peak have had some friction, that matter is in the past. We are all part of the Heavenly Pool lineage—why hold a grudge? Besides, Lin Feng seems to me to be a man of righteousness with extraordinary talent, a rare gem. If he can strengthen the Tianxuan lineage and enhance the Heavenly Pool's power, that is a good thing."
The Yaoguang Peak Master shook his head with a smile, causing Tianshu Zi's eyes to narrow and his expression to darken slightly. After a moment of thought, he said, "Since Junior Brother thinks so, I'll take my leave."
With that, Tianshu Zi slowly turned and flew away through the air.
"Senior Brother, go slowly," the Yaoguang Peak Master called out politely. Moments later, Tianshu Zi vanished from Yaoguang Main Peak and headed straight to Yuheng Main Peak.
"Senior Brother Yuheng," Tianshu Zi greeted the Yuheng Peak Master politely, then explained his purpose, asking about the Yuheng Peak Master's stance on the Tianxuan lineage. But to his surprise, the Yuheng Peak Master's face darkened immediately. Displeased, he said, "Junior Brother, mentioning it once is enough. How can you repeatedly slander the Tianxuan lineage? Have you forgotten your mission—to make the Heavenly Pool strong and the empire strong, not to engage in petty scheming? I see the Tianxuan lineage as upright and righteous, and now they have found the gifted Lin Feng as their successor. This is a blessing for the Heavenly Pool. I hope you can set aside your selfishness and consider the Heavenly Pool's interests."
Tianshu Zi was directly lectured, and his expression grew even uglier. With a flick of his sleeve, he turned and said, "Farewell!"
With that, his figure flickered and vanished again. Next, he headed to Tianquan Main Peak, but this time, he didn't even see the Tianquan Peak Master. A disciple of Tianquan Peak simply informed him that the peak master was in cultivation and had no time to see him.
By now, Tianshu Zi's heart had completely chilled. What exactly had happened?
And what about the Snow Eagle he had encountered on the road? Could it be that the peak masters had left Tianshu Peak because of them?
Tianshu Zi couldn't understand, but he felt isolated. The Yaoguang, Yuheng, and Tianquan peak masters had always had decent relationships with him, but now, whenever Lin Feng was mentioned, they all spoke in his favor, leaving Tianshu Zi deeply frustrated. Yuheng Peak Master had directly scolded him, and Tianquan Peak Master had refused to see him altogether.
At this moment, on a snow peak of Tianxuan Peak, Lin Feng stood atop the summit, gazing at the vast snowy mountains. Dressed in a white robe, his long sleeves fluttering, his figure carried a hint of desolation, yet it exuded an unyielding spirit.
Figures descended behind him—the Snow Eagles he had sent out had all returned, silently standing behind Lin Feng.
"Were everything handled properly?" Lin Feng turned and asked the Snow Eagle.
"Young Master, all is done. The peak masters were very satisfied," the Snow Eagle replied. Lin Feng nodded. Whether in his past life or this one, relationships between people, aside from emotional bonds, boiled down to favors. He had little contact with the various peak masters of the Heavenly Pool; they were all part of the same lineage and might unite for the Heavenly Pool's sake, but there was no deep bond.
This time, Lin Feng had ordered the Snow Eagles to deliver some Will Crystals and Essence Crystals he had obtained to the peak masters, along with a message hoping they would grow stronger and the Heavenly Pool would thrive. This was a favor—not for personal gain, but for the Heavenly Pool. As a result, none of the peak masters could refuse. They were all part of the Heavenly Pool lineage; why wouldn't they accept such gifts for the sake of the Heavenly Pool? Yet, unconsciously, it would undoubtedly foster goodwill toward Lin Feng.
Not everyone who obtained such treasures would be willing to share them. Most people hoarded their gains, hoping others would remain weak. Essence Crystals contained profound meaning, greatly aiding venerable ones in comprehending the essence, while Will Crystals were treasures for Heavenly Martial Realm experts. Lin Feng's favor was incredibly significant, and the peak masters couldn't help but admire him.
Back when they had surrounded Tianxuan Peak, many had been tempted by the treasures on Lin Feng. Yet, young as he was, Lin Feng had handled the situation well that day, offending no peak except Tianshu Peak. Now, he was sending a generous gift, setting aside past grievances as if he had never taken the incident to heart. Such skill in handling interpersonal relations was truly rare.
"Let's go." Lin Feng stepped forward, his body rising into the air as he flew.
At this moment, Lin Feng felt light as a feather. Having broken through to the Heavenly Martial Realm, flying no longer consumed true essence. He could simply borrow the power of heaven and earth to lift his body, soaring through the void with a single thought.
This feeling was more like true flight.
Lin Feng arrived at the snow peak where Jun Moxi, Tang Youyou, and the others were cultivating. The three venerable ones were all there. Seeing Lin Feng approach, Snow Venerable glanced at him. Noticing that Lin Feng's aura was full and round, with no leakage, and that his intent merged with heaven and earth, carrying a hint of ethereality, Snow Venerable nodded inwardly. This kid had stabilized his cultivation to such a degree in such a short time—that was talent.
"Teacher, how is their cultivation progressing?" Lin Feng looked at the distant figures sitting cross-legged in different spots on the snowy cliff and asked.
The three venerable ones exchanged glances, then smiled. This kid had finally changed how he addressed them.
Now that Lin Feng was the young master of the Tianxuan lineage and its future leader, if he still called them "seniors," it would indeed be frustrating.
"Very good. Jun Moxi can begin to break through the Heavenly Martial barrier. Great Pest and Youyou have both stabilized at the peak of the Ninth Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm. Given time, they can also break through to the Heavenly Martial Realm. Especially Great Pest—though he's a bit scatterbrained, his cultivation talent is truly rare. With no distractions, he focuses solely on cultivation. He might even compete with Jun Moxi to see who reaches the Heavenly Martial Realm first. Youyou seems to have more on her mind, so she needs to take it step by step."
"As for Yun Feiyang, his cultivation has stabilized at the Ninth Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm. Although his realm is the lowest, his past training was very solid, and his foundation is even more robust than Jun Moxi's. Once his realm is ready, he too can easily attempt to break through to the Heavenly Martial Realm."
Snow Venerable easily pointed out the strengths and weaknesses of the four, and Lin Feng found it very insightful. Jun Moxi was the steady type, cultivating vast righteous qi and possessing an undying martial soul. His overall strength and talent were formidable, manifesting in every aspect, very balanced. Great Pest was simple-minded with few distractions, making him very suited for cultivation. Youyou's talent was not lacking, but a young girl's heart carried more burdens. Finally, Yun Feiyang, the former crown prince of the Moyue Kingdom, had long been famous in Snow Moon and later displayed astonishing talent. His cultivation was extremely solid and stable, and he grasped the momentum of heaven and earth, allowing him to challenge those above his level. Though his cultivation speed might be slightly slower, his solid foundation made him strong in battle.
"Teacher, I need to leave the Qian Domain for a while and visit the Snow Moon Kingdom," Lin Feng suddenly said. Snow Venerable thought for a moment, then replied, "The Snow Moon Kingdom is far from the Qian Domain. Be careful. Many major forces are watching you now. Act with caution when outside."
"I understand." Lin Feng was clear-headed. After the incident in the Valley of Death, news of Lin Feng's return to the Heavenly Pool couldn't be hidden. Some interested forces would likely not let him off easily, such as the East Sea Dragon Palace.
However, as long as he was in the Heavenly Pool, they wouldn't dare cause trouble. Coming to the Heavenly Pool Snow Mountain to demand someone would require mobilizing the entire Dragon Palace's forces, and the consequences would be unbearable for anyone. The East Sea Dragon Palace wouldn't do such a thing.
