History’s Number 1 Founder - Chapter 661

Chapter 661

Everyone came to the Central Great Pavilion on Yun Peak (which is the main pavilion as mentioned on many occasions) . From the outside, the pavilion looked extremely huge and majestic . The internal space of the pavilion was also expanded, thus when thousands of cultivators from the various great powers entered, they did not feel that it was congested at all . Rather, they thought that it was very spacious .

On the main seat of the pavilion, Lin Feng sat there . But it was not his actual body, rather, it was a projection of himself that he created using his mana .

The Marquis of Jinghuan arrived in the pavilion at this time . As he looked around him, he saw Zhu Hongwu .

Zhu Hongwu looked indifferent and stood with Liang Yuan . But where he stood seemed to be in the center of the Heavens and Earth, as he attracted the attention of others unwittingly . Only the people around Lin Daohan, Shi Yu’s avatar and Lin Feng’s projection were exempted from turning to look at Zhu Hongwu .

The Marquis of Jinghuan came before Zhu Hongwu and Liang Yuan, saying, "I still thought that the Marquis of Xuanji had left the mountain . "

As he said this, not only did Liang Yuan creased his brows, even the Azure Pulse Swordmaster and Lei Lie did the same thing .

On the other hand, Zhu Hongwu remained calm, "Your judgment is wrong . You are still far off in your cultivation . "

"I have indeed judged things wrongly . " The Marquis of Jinghuan laughed, "I believed that such a powerful person like you was only able to reach where you are today because you never stop progressing forward and never bend down to failure . You know you can’t defeat Lin Feng, but once you are humiliated, you will never back down . "

Zhu Hongwu placed his hands behind his back and he was very relaxed, "Lin Feng is very strong, but whether I can defeat him, I must challenge him first before I’ll know . If we have never challenged before, the result is unknown . "

"No matter how powerful the opponent is, I will not lose my courage to strike first . This is my belief . But this time on Mount Kunlun, I will not challenge Lin Feng . "

Zhu Hongwu’s eyes drooped and did not even look in the direction of Lin Feng . It was as if he was fearful .

Everyone, including the Marquis of Jinghuan, could feel how dangerous Zhu Hongwu was right now . He did not look at Lin Feng because he was suppressing his impulse to make a move .

"I can avenge this humiliation another day, but not today . " Zhu Hongwu’s tone of voice was indifferent . "Liang An, your trick to batter my confidence is not working . "

"Just do your job properly and don’t harbor any ill-intentions . I can tolerate you, otherwise, you should know that the mistakes that you have made, according to the law of the Great Zhou, are worth executions . "

His tone of voice was very calm, but the Marquis of Jinghuan could feel the huge pressure . But he remained calm and nodded his head, "I acknowledge it . I am still far off from you, but I can make up the gap one day . When that happens, we shall talk again . "

"Otherwise, it may seem as if you bully the weak and fear the strong . "

With regards to the insult in the words of the Marquis of Jinghuan, Zhu Hongwu was unmoved . His emotions didn’t change and he just looked at the Marquis of Jinghuan indifferently, "Liang An, you are very foolish . You should know that this tactic will not work on me, and it can’t protect you either . "

"Just like Zhu Yi, I won’t kill you because now’s not the time . If I want to kill the both of you, there’s no difference if the both of you are in the Immortal Soul Stage . " Zhu Hongwu said . "That unfilial son thinks that he is protected by Lin Feng, while you think that you have more than one backer . But the both of you don’t realized that I don’t care about who your backers are . "

"If I want to kill the both of you, I will do so . If your backers come and find me, it will be after I kill the both of you . "

"That unfilial son thinks that he averted the disaster back in Tianjing because of Lin Feng’s physical spell body . But it’s just that the time is not ripe . The funny thing is that he is still ignorant of what’s to come, just like you . "

After Zhu Hongwu said finished, he shook his head and shifted his gaze away . He was lazy to continue looking at the Marquis of Jinghuan .

The Marquis of Jinghuan remained calm as he heard Zhu Hongwu’s words . It’s only when Zhu Hongwu revealed that he knew about his several backers that the Marquis of Jinghuan was troubled . But he did not say anything and remained where he was .

As Zhu Hongwu shifted his gaze away, the Marquis of Jinghuan laughed slightly . At the same time, he turned his vision to other places .

The conversation between the both of them seemed to not have existed . Liang Yuan, the Azure Pulse Swordmaster and Lei Lie also maintained their expressions, as if they heard nothing .

Lin Feng’s projection of himself sat on the main seat in the pavilion and he looked at the pavilion calmly . While it seemed peaceful in there, there seemed to be a storm brewing . He remained calm and did not speak . Only when others greeted him did he return the greetings . At the other times, he was stoned in his position .

After all the guests had arrived, Lin Feng smiled, "Welcome all for the Sect-Opening Ceremony . "

Shi Yu said, "For such a joyous occasion, it’s our honor to be here . "

Lin Feng laughed while nodding his head and he looked at Xiao Yan . Xiao Yan stepped forward and he drew something in mid-space . His mana converted into a light figure and the images in the light figure changed . They revealed the view at the bottom of Yun Peak .

Zhu Yi was standing at the bottom of Yun Peak right now . And before him, there were hundreds of people gathered together . They were all people hoping to join the Celestial Sect of Wonders as disciples .

This was even after one round of selection had been done . Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest were sent to different places and they met the hopefuls who wanted to join the sect . They did their own screening over at their respective places and crossed out most of the people . The remaining ones who passed were brought to Mount Kunlun .

As they totaled everyone together, there were hundreds of them .

Although the numbers were greater than the previous two Sect-Opening Ceremonies, the quality of the people coming was actually greater . After three years, the status of the Celestial Sect of Wonders as a potential Holy Ground had become more and more ingrained in the minds of everyone . Many talented youths dreamed of joining the Celestial Sect of Wonders .

This test at the bottom of the Yun Peak was bound to sieve out more talented people .

Lin Feng said, "Let’s start . " His voice was not loud, but it resonated through the entire Mount Kunlun .

Zhu Yi looked at all the people who were getting ready for the test and he said, "In front of all of you is the Heart-Revealing Steps of the sect . It is used to test all of you . Whoever wants to join the sect must go through it once . "

"Follow the steps and go up . Those who can reach the top will enter the Celestial Sect of Wonders, but there’s a time limit . Those who take more than one day will fail . If you fail, go back and wait for your next chance . " Zhu Yi looked across to the Cloud Mirror City, "All of you come from different places . If you have the wish to undergo the test of the Heart-Revealing Steps in the future, you can find somewhere to stay in the Cloud Mirror City temporarily . Everything is up to you . "

Zhu Yi said, "If there’s no problem, all of you can ascend the mountain . "

The Heart-Revealing Steps was quite reputable . It was formed from Lin Feng’s mana and it was spiritual by nature . It was not controlled by humans and was very fair . But it was also difficult to ascend it using tricks . There’s no secret manual to ascending it .

After several tries of the Heart-Revealing Steps, Lin Feng also tried to modify it to make it perfect . This was to enable him to search for the most outstanding talents to join the sect .

Once they were up the Heart-Revealing Steps, everything depended on their own abilities . Those who could ascend it naturally could ascend it, while those who couldn’t just couldn’t make it .

Even if one had someone he or she knew from the sect, that person would not be helpful . That was because the test of the Heart-Revealing Steps was customized for each and every person . There’s no experience to talk of or any items that could be useful in ascending it .

The powers of an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator might enable cheating, but Lin Feng would be able to detect such powers immediately . There seemed to be no way of cheating through this test .

That was because aiding all these backdoor methods, pulling strings and talking about favors were not easy tasks to carry out .

In the Central Great Pavilion, Lin Feng was sitting on his knees calmly . The guests also sat at their respective places and looked at the light figure in mid-space . Under the help of Lin Feng’s powers, Xiao Yan managed to show everything on the Heart-Revealing Steps .

Everyone remained quiet as they watched the candidates sink into their own illusions brought about by their innermost emotions

As Xiao Yan saw this, he revealed a smile on his face and communicated with Lin Feng, "Master, there are many potential talents . "

Lin Feng smiled, "Indeed . There will be huge rewards this time . "

The rest of the cultivators did not know what the judging criteria was with regards to the Heart-Revealing Steps, but those who were sharp could tell that there were talents in this bunch of candidates . Their performances were indeed more outstanding than the rest .

"The foundation of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is getting thicker and thicker . " Everyone thought .

Some of the cultivators from the smaller sects turned their attention to the candidates who were lagging behind . They were thinking that if these candidates were crossed out by the Celestial Sect of Wonders, they might be able to attract them over instead .

There were many thoughts in everyone’s head . Lei Lie remained expressionless, but an evil look flashed across his eyes .

He focused all his attention on someone . As this person moved, a while later, he sighed and communicated with Zhu Hongwu and Liang Yuan, "He is among them . "

Zhu Hongwu observed the countless figures around and did not speak . Whereas Liang Yuan asked, "Which one?"

Lei Lie said, "The first one . "

Liang Yuan paused for a while, "The difficulty of the Heart-Revealing Steps’ test of the Celestial Sect of Wonders is very high . It seems like it’s true, but this person is very outstanding . Now it looks like your initial prediction is indeed accurate . "

Lei Lie replied, "But if he enters the Celestial Sect of Wonders now, I believe things will be difficult to accomplish . "

"Even if it is difficult, we still have to do it . " Zhu Hongwu opened his mouth now .

Liang Yuan nodded his head, "There’s still time . You can plan and try to use your relationship to good effect . This may be useful . "

"After all, he is your biological grandson . "

Lei Lie was silent and did not speak for a while .

The Heart-Revealing Steps was a test that picked out the extraordinary individuals . Especially since it was a test of one’s character, it could filter out those with ill intentions .

After the Heart-Revealing Steps became famous, very little people attempted to try their luck anymore . There were those who thought they could get lucky, but they only humiliated themselves in the end .

After the first round of screening by Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest, the quality of this batch of candidates was more positive . The cultivators from the other sects were silent as they watched this batch of candidates .

The quality of the potential disciples was getting higher and higher . This reflected the reputation of the Celestial Sect of Wonders in the Divine Lands and that their influence was getting stronger and stronger .
