Chapter 117: From today on, you are my disciple!

  Three days later.

  Early in the morning, when the sky was just a little bright, and the morning fog had not yet dispersed, there was already a bustling scene in front of Jianjian Peak!

  "Shen Jian Peak is one of the several hundred peaks in Luo Yun Sect with a rich spiritual energy, and its produced spiritual fields are also very thick. As long as Wang Chen is defeated, he can get the position of Shen Jian Peak's leader, and it will be easier to advance to the Golden Elixir stage later!"

  Many people don't know where they get such ideas from, no one says it out loud, and everyone seems to take it for granted.

  Shen Jianfeng is a gift to the sect's talented disciples. If Wang Chen was still as outstanding as Feng Wuji, no one in the sect would dare to disobey him, even if they had thoughts in their mind, they wouldn't express them. This time, Wang Chen failed nine times in building his foundation, and many people found an excuse.

  Although this excuse looks clumsy, as long as there is a passable statement, the bottom line is that the power of the immortal world is supreme, and everything else is secondary!

  When a ray of sunlight pierced through the fog, a group of monks at the foot of the mountain began to slowly make their way up to the Divine Sword Peak.

  The first one wore a purple shirt, with starry eyebrows and sword-like eyes, exuding an air of elegance that made others feel ashamed at a glance.

  Cheng Yu was accompanied by several dozen cultivators. Alongside him were two Foundation Establishment cultivators, whose auras were still unable to be fully retracted due to their recent breakthrough, and they spread out in all directions, causing the faces of the dozens of Qi Refining disciples behind them to turn pale!

  "Cheng Shixiong, this Wang Chen is just like a self-proclaimed genius, arrogant and domineering in the sect, no one dares to provoke him. But after all, he's still a waste, even if he exhausts his own potential, he can only be rampant for a while! Compared to you, Shixiong, he falls short by too much!"

  "That's it! This time, if Shifu defeats Wang Chen, he can become the master of Yifeng, and with the resources of Shenjian Peak, advancing to the Golden Elixir stage shouldn't be a problem!"

  Another fellow builder on the side also fits the way.

  The status of foundation-building masters also varies in height. Like Feng Wuji, a master who succeeded in building the foundation in just two months, is extremely rare and naturally belongs to the most talented part!

  Secondly, there are the four to ten months foundation-building cultivators. These are the elite among cultivators and the backbone of their sects. They have a high chance of advancing further in the future!

  Cheng Yuhan is one of them. In the past, during the Qi training period, he was arrogant and proud, but who would have thought that he would be suppressed by Wang Chen's talent? Even though he himself had extraordinary abilities and looked handsome, in comparison, he became dull and faded! He became an foil to Wang Chen's existence!

  Since Wang Chen became well-known, Cheng Yuhan has been rarely mentioned! As a result, Cheng Yuhan, who was once praised by everyone since childhood, had long been resentful of Wang Chen to the point of death.

  Glory, having been pampered with countless favors and honors since childhood, can no longer wait! Lifting her head to look up, her eyes burst forth with a dazzling radiance!

  In comparison, the two cultivators who were with Cheng Yun had spent a lot of time and nearly two years to successfully lay their foundations. They would probably spend this lifetime in the foundation-building stage, which was why they had latched onto Cheng Yun's thigh!

  Cheng Yuhan is the direct descendant of the Cheng surname elder in the Menzhong clan, with a prestigious status! However, Wang Chen didn't notice that he had mentioned Elder Cheng's growth during the Golden Elixir period two years ago at Luoyun Hall, because Elder Cheng had appeared to flatter and threaten Wang Chen.

  Shen Jian Peak is usually a relatively quiet mountain, unlike other mountains, with Jindan period sitting in town, big family and business, many younger disciples! Shen Jian Peak is vast and sparsely populated, few people come here!

  It just so happened that after Cheng Yuhan appeared at the foot of Shenjian Peak, many cultivators in Luoyun Sect also seemed to have improved a lot and came afterwards!

  Immediately after, the disciples of Luo Yun Sect who heard the news came in a rush of nearly 10,000 people! This is one-fourth of the total number of Luo Yun Sect's disciples! Except for those who were out on missions and other reasons, almost all of them have arrived!

  "Wang Chen, my junior brother, in the past when I was humiliated by you, I endured the shame and hardship, but ultimately achieved success. I hope you will not be stingy with your teachings!"

  Cheng Yu's voice was clear and loud, carrying an air of convincing confidence and an aura that was intimidating, as if Wang Chen had indeed been unbearable and humiliated him from the start!

  The entire Divine Sword Peak heard Cheng Yuhan's words at this time, nearly ten thousand people clearly heard it, and for a moment many people cheered!

  "Indeed worthy of being called Sheng Shixiong, hiding one's light and biding one's time, enduring in silence, finally making a shocking debut, truly a role model for our generation!"

  "Cheng Shixiong is really amazing, he will surely surpass everyone in the future and become a genius like Feng Wuji!"

  Sounds of praise and harmony kept coming out, even the cold face showed a hint of humility, but the subtle arrogance at the corner of his mouth was noticed by those with discerning eyes!

  Many monks have a strong tendency to follow the crowd, no matter what others say, but there are also some monks who are not fools and vaguely see through the tricks.

  They were formed in the cold early days, not to avenge, late not to avenge, but just had to wait until Tiancai's foundation was laid and failed before going. At this time, it was during the foundation period that they challenged the Qi period. Although it sounded good, it was also humiliating and heavy-hearted, avenging past grievances and showing their own righteousness. No matter how well they said it, they couldn't shake off the suspicion of taking advantage of the fire to loot!

  Of course, in the Immortal Realm, strength is revered, and the strong prey on the weak. If Wang Chen loses, he's finished, and no one will speak up for him!

  Cheng Yu's words contained the power of the foundation period, and under the infusion, nearly half of the Shenjian Peak cultivators could hear it.

  Everyone's attention was focused on Shenjian Peak, where Wang Chen's cave was located, and he had also been in seclusion there before!

  "Genius Elder, what are you hiding from? Don't tell me you know you can't beat us, Brother Cheng and I, haha!"

  "If you admit defeat, Master Cheng will be magnanimous in victory. As long as you apologize and yield the Divine Sword Peak, Master Cheng won't make things difficult for you!"

  The cave on the top of Jianjian Peak was silent, but two Jibeng period cultivators standing next to Han Shen suddenly shouted out loud. In an instant, all the cultivators gathered on Jianjian Peak started shouting!

  "It seems that the genius elder has indeed retreated. Alas, a generation of outstanding talent, if the foundation is not established, then nothing will be achieved!"

  "And what's with this genius nonsense? Can't even advance past the foundation building stage, what a waste of space!"

  …….

  The masters were blocked by the Four Elephant Cloud Formation and couldn't advance from halfway up the mountain, but the voices of nearly ten thousand masters still instantly filled the entire Divine Sword Peak.

  In front of many cultivators, Zhou Yan's eyes were bloodshot, as if they were about to spew out flames. He was only barely holding back the discomfort in his heart and didn't say a word because he was just a Qi Refining stage cultivator and wasn't qualified to call out a Foundation Building stage cultivator!

  Finally, the monks went too far, and Zhou Yan could no longer hold back his words!

  "Shut up! You're going too far! Two years ago, who among you dared to speak of my master like this? How dare you be so rude! It's you, yes, it's you!"

  Zhou Yan pointed at a monk and shouted out:

  "Two years ago, it was you who came to find my master. My master didn't see you and you've been holding a grudge in your heart. Now you're here spouting nonsense, truly shameless!"

  "You wanted to join the Divine Sword Peak at first, but Master didn't agree. Now you're taking advantage of the situation to slander Master, this is truly shameless!"

  ….

  He scolded over a dozen people in one breath, except for one Qi-refining stage cultivator, the others were all Foundation Building stage cultivators. For a moment, over a dozen cultivators were stunned by Zhou Yan's aura and were left speechless.

  But coming to their senses, more than a dozen Foundation Building cultivators became enraged one after another. The dignity of a Foundation Building cultivator was actually being insulted by a Qi Refining cultivator - this was something that could not be tolerated.

  "Kid, you're really sharp-tongued! Wang Chen's not here and you, a junior, dare to be so arrogant?"

  "Not bad, you little brat, you really don't know the height of heaven and earth! Today, I'll take our sect's teachings to teach you a lesson, let you know that from now on, you should learn to respect your elders!"

  …..

  A dozen or so foundation-building monks exchanged a few words, and unexpectedly pinned a crime of disrespecting their superiors on Zhou Yan. With that, several precious artifacts and techniques were thrown out!

  The monks on the scene were speechless for a moment, and more than a dozen foundation-building disciples actually attacked a Qi-refining monk at the same time.

  However, several monks flashed their eyes, as if they had understood something.

  If one or two Foundation Building cultivators speak out, even if nothing comes of it in the end, the sect will still be forced to mete out some punishment due to pressure from the sect rules. But if there are many people, and dozens of Foundation Building cultivators all simultaneously insist that Zhou Xuanmu has no master, then the situation would be entirely different!

  The sect will not punish dozens of foundation-building cultivators just because of one unknown Qi-refining cultivator!

  Dozens of cultivators made their move at the same time, and the momentum was not ordinary! In an instant, outside the Four Elephant Cloud Array, a vast spiritual wave fluctuation spread in all directions!

  The foundation-building period's spell attacks and treasure instrument attacks, one strike down and the Qi-refining period cultivators are no match! At least this cultivator named Zhou Yan can't withstand it!

  At this moment, Zhou Yan's face did not show a hint of fear, only a stubborn sense of regret and indignation remained. The spiritual energy in his dantian surged out completely, and the extreme-grade artifact in front of him emitted an astonishing cold glow!

  It was the Ice Spirit Sword that Wang Chen had used before. After it was damaged, Zhou Yan had found someone to repair it, and its power hadn't weakened at all!

  Even so, Zhou Yan's attack was still far too much, and it could be foreseen that with one blow, Zhou Yan would surely die!

  At this moment, the Four Elephant Cloud Array behind Zhou Yan suddenly lit up, and then the protective cover of that array actually expanded again, wrapping Zhou Yan's body inside.

  The ferocious-looking attack landed on the Four Elephant Cloud Formation without even a ripple, and vanished in the blink of an eye!

  At the same time, a majestic voice came out from within the Four Symbol Cloud Formation.

  "Zhou Yan, you've done very well! From today on, you are my official disciple!"

  The oppressive voice had just sounded out, and all the cultivators present fell silent, their eyes focusing on the origin of the sound. Not far away, Wang Chen's figure gradually appeared!

  "Master, I've disgraced you!"

  Zhou Yan was not injured, but stood by with a face full of shame.

  Wang Chen shook his head, reached out and popped a dan pill into Zhou Yan's mouth. Earlier, Zhou Yan had recklessly used his spiritual energy, causing some damage to the meridians in his body. If he wasn't careful, it would leave behind hidden injuries!

  Wang Chen walked out of the cave mansion, from accepting disciples to treating injuries, from start to finish, he didn't even glance at the cultivators outside the formation, as if there was no one outside!

  Glancing at Zhou Yan's gradually improving complexion, Wang Chen continued:

  "Do you know why I only accepted you as a nominal disciple in the past and not as a true disciple?" Before Zhou Yan could respond, Wang Chen continued:

  "As my disciple, how can you be as useless as those people outside? If you had just apologized sincerely, I would have killed you with my own hands! If you betray me, I will expel you from the Divine Sword Peak!"

  "My disciple, although he may not surpass me, must also be an outstanding genius!"
