Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 542 - 538 Elder Provokes Miao Zhen's Arrogance



The possibility of being eliminated immediately made the two Inner Sect Elders feel immensely disheartened.

After all, these two were among the strongest true inheritors within the Sect, and if even they were eliminated early, other disciples would likely not fare much better.

Could it be that this generation of young cultivators in the Cultivation World were so formidable that not even top-tier inheritors like Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen from our Sect could compete with them?

Faced with the Elders’ doubts, Gui Ling Ancestor chuckled, his face revealing uncontrollable joy, “What are you talking about? They’ve already completed the trial task and have come back early!”

“Oh, that’s good!”

The two Elders immediately felt relieved upon hearing this. “As long as they haven’t been eliminated, it’s fine. But isn’t it still before the designated time? Why didn’t they stay longer in the Trial Land to prepare more before coming back? Coming back so early could be…” Sёarᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“What are you afraid of?”

Gui Ling Ancestor laughed, “They both have already won their trial spots, received the blessings of the Heavenly Dao, and gained great fortune which will boost their cultivation to soar rapidly in the future. Their prospects are limitless; there’s no need for you to worry!”

“Ah?”

The two Elders were immediately stunned by these words.

“Ancestor, you…”

After a moment, the two Elders, who were normally known for their prudent and reserved demeanor within the Sect, stuttered, “Are you saying that they have… already completed the trial, and also…”

“Yes, just like what you’re thinking!”

“Doesn’t that mean we in the Beast Taming Sect have added two potential Immortal Golden Immortals, chosen ones with great potential!”

Speaking thus, the two Elders felt a mix of shock and joy, and a bit of nervousness, “Ancestor, you’re not deceiving us, are you?”

“Why would I, the Ancestor, deceive you?”

Gui Ling Ancestor, in a very good mood, didn’t take offense at the suspicion of the two Inner Sect Elders, and cheerfully waved his hand, “Enough, these two youngsters just received a boost in fortune; it’s an ideal time for them to enter seclusion for enlightenment. You two should stop hanging around here and go do whatever you need to do, I still need to take them for their seclusion!”

“…Yes!”

The two Elders, bursting with excitement, paid no heed to Gui Ling Ancestor’s words urging them to leave, excitedly focusing on Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen, imagining their Sect rising to prominence and standing at the peak of the Cultivation World, dominating the entire Southern Domain.

Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen felt somewhat uneasy under their gaze and hastily bowed to bid the Elders goodbye before following Gui Ling Ancestor to the inner sanctum.

“This is the place of seclusion for your Jue Tian Ancestor and me. However, I need to go beyond the Ninth Heaven to meet with Elders from other Sects in Five Domains. Since Jue Tian Ancestor has already returned to preside over our Sect, and the place would be vacant anyway, I’ll leave it to you two for your secluded cultivation.”

As he spoke, Gui Ling Ancestor handed them two tokens to open the Seclusion Room.

“Thank you, Ancestor!”

The two accepted without any objection.

The room they had been resting in indeed wasn’t suitable for cultivation. Since Gui Ling Ancestor had arranged for this, it was best to follow his guidance.

Gui Ling Ancestor led them into the inner hall and motioned for them to sit down, saying, “You both did very well this time. Not only did you dare to delve into dangerous territories to gather intelligence, but you also knew when to advance and retreat, managing to return from the Otherworld early, timing it perfectly.

Those who participated in the trial from the highly-ranked worlds were the most talented cultivators of this generation from Biluo, also the best disciples from major Sects. Among them were not only many talented and exceptionally intelligent cultivators but also in no small numbers. I believe it won’t be long before other disciples, similar to you, will end their trials voluntarily and return to Biluo.

You two managed to stand out, partly because of your own strong cultivation, but more so due to the fortunate timing and luck, considering that your power is not particularly remarkable in higher worlds.

What really reassures me is your wisdom in knowing when to advance or retreat, especially you, Miao Zhen. You didn’t become arrogant from easily infiltrating the Divine Country.

Otherwise, if you had been greedy to probe deeper into their secrets and contact more divine beings, you might have gathered more information, but if you had returned too late, you would have ended up with nothing!”

At this, Gui Ling Ancestor couldn’t help but chuckle, “Among the many disciples participating in the trial, surely many of them will choose to play it safe to gather as much intelligence as possible. But at the end of the ten-year period, unless the other disciples all perform abnormally, those individuals will ultimately have to leave in despair!”

Li Miaozhen replied with pride, “Disciple isn’t foolish, of course, I know when to advance or retreat. Besides, I had Junior Brother Qin strategizing for me. When we first met in Midgard, he analyzed all these matters to me. So after gathering a rough idea about the Divine Country, I immediately chose to leave Asgard.”

“Hehe…”

Gui Ling Ancestor looked at her, laughing, “You girl, you’re actually quite clever inside, it’s just that you’re immersed in Martial Arts, obsessed with fighting, focusing solely on combat, and you’ve turned yourself into such a battle maniac. If it weren’t for the fact that you still devoted some energy to cultivating your Lifebound Spiritual Beast, you would be hardly different from those pure Martial Cultivators of the War God Palace.

It’s no wonder that Ancestor Zhan Tian wanted to take you under his wing at the War God Palace; your temperament is indeed suited for Martial Arts training!”

Li Miaozhen, unconcerned, said, “There’s no need to specifically be in the War God Palace to cultivate Martial Arts. Martial Arts, in essence, is the path of battle. My White Tiger Lineage practices both Martial Arts and killing intent. Along with my Lifebound Spiritual Beast aiding in battle, I’m in no way inferior to those pure Martial Cultivators!”

“Indeed!”

Gui Ling Ancestor nodded continuously upon hearing this, “I heard that once a Martial Cultivator from War God Palace commented that the combat style of our Beast Taming Sect’s White Tiger Lineage was too brutal. They seemed quite disdainful. If any disciple from War God Palace comes to seek Martial Arts guidance from you, just defeat them utterly with the White Tiger Saber and show them the strength of our Beast Taming Sect!

Moreover, for those cultivators from War God Palace who are devoted to Martial Arts, if you do not defeat them with all your might, they will feel that you are disrespecting them!”

“How dare they look down on our Beast Taming Sect?”

Upon hearing this, Li Miaozhen’s slim eyebrows slightly raised, and a trace of pride appeared on her face, “Grandmaster, rest assured, if any disciple from War God Palace dares to challenge me, I will indeed defeat them completely.

Hmph, I have long wanted to see how strong the disciples from War God Palace really are!”

Beside them, Qin Feng looked at Li Miaozhen holding the White Tiger Saber, her aura seething with the desire to fight, and then glanced at the solemn-faced Gui Ling Ancestor above. He always felt that his grandmaster was instigating Li Miaozhen to take all the disciples from War God Palace as her adversaries.

However, he did not say anything. As an Immortal Golden Immortal and a master of the Art of Prediction, Gui Ling Ancestor must have his own reasons for his actions, and it was not his place to question.

Gui Ling Ancestor smiled genially at Qin Feng.

He knew Qin Feng had seen through his intentions because he was not at all trying to hide them. He was blatantly provoking Li Miaozhen to form a grudge against the disciples of War God Palace, ensuring she would see them as rivals in her heart.

With Li Miaozhen’s temperament, once she regarded them as opponents, the only thought left was to defeat them.

Thus, no matter how the disciples from War God Palace demonstrated their skills in front of her, they would only seem provocative to her, making it unnecessary to worry about any tricks from Ancestor Zhan Tian!

“Alright, I just wanted to remind you of this. Just be careful in the future, and don’t let the disciples of War God Palace seriously hurt you, undermining the reputation of our Beast Taming Sect’s White Tiger Lineage!”

“Grandmaster, rest assured, with the White Tiger Saber in hand, I fear no opponent.”

Li Miaozhen’s eyes gleamed with pride, “Among my peers, I am unbeatable. Looking at the entire world, who can withstand my saber?

If the disciples of War God Palace don’t come, so be it. But if they dare to challenge, I will certainly show them my strength!”

Even though Gui Ling Ancestor had intended to ignite Li Miaozhen’s fighting spirit, after hearing these words, he could not help but twitch his mouth.

Perhaps… he had gone a bit too far?

Also, this girl’s confidence seemed a bit inflated!

But since he had just aroused Li Miaozhen’s spirit, it wasn’t suitable to dampen it immediately, so he simply nodded with a bitter smile, “Well, having confidence is a good thing. Let’s not talk about this anymore.”

After a pause, he continued, “You two have just received enhanced Qi Fortune, making it an excellent time for comprehending Daoist teachings. Today, I will hold a lecture to clarify your Cultivation paths, facilitating your future Cultivation.”

Upon hearing this, both disciples felt immense joy surge in their hearts.

Gui Ling Ancestor, being an Immortal Golden Immortal proficient in the Art of Prediction, had a far deeper understanding and insight into the Dao than ordinary Great Powers. Even the laws he was not skilled in, when explained by them, made perfect sense, which is why even other Great Powers in the Cultivation World cherished the opportunity to discuss the Dao with them.

For Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen, who had at most reached the Purple Mansion Realm in cultivation, even a few casual remarks from Gui Ling Ancestor would be incredibly beneficial.

Therefore, the two hurriedly bowed and expressed their gratitude, “Thank you, Grandmaster!”

“Mm.”

Gui Ling Ancestor looked at both of them, firstly addressing Li Miaozhen, “Miao Zhen, you primarily cultivate the Geng Metal Principle. You have a straightforward personality, dislike scheming, and are obsessed with battle. Your Daoist Divine Power suits your nature well, so not only is your combat power formidable, your progress in cultivation is also rapid.

However, your obsession with battle has also caused your cultivation to deviate slightly. Remember, do not rely solely on unorthodox paths and merely pursue formidable combat power.

You are not purely a Martial Cultivator; you have also practiced the ‘White Tiger Divine Technique,’ a Body Refining Technique. You have more to consider than a typical Martial Cultivator, or you will encounter more bottlenecks later…”

At this point, Gui Ling Ancestor effortlessly pointed out the flaws in her current cultivation level. Then, based on her current practice of the ‘White Tiger Divine Technique,’ the ‘Chewing Iron Great Method,’ and other techniques, along with her natural disposition, divine powers, and personality, he re-planned her future cultivation path.

Originally, her mentor, Luo Zhancheng, had been battling in the Otherworld for many years and had not returned to the Sect for a long time. Although the elders of the White Tiger Lineage still guided her cultivation, it inevitably differed from Luo Zhancheng’s teaching method and lacked attention to certain details.

Now, with Gui Ling Ancestor’s guidance, Li Miaozhen immediately felt an epiphany. Not only were many of her past questions answered, but her path forward in cultivation also became incredibly clear!

This made Li Miaozhen extremely excited, her face filled with joy, and when she heard insightful points, she could not help but beam with delight, causing Gui Ling Ancestor to chuckle a bit.

However, that was just her nature. Whether happy or angry, it was always visible on her face; she was never pretentious!

After answering some of her questions, Gui Ling Ancestor sent her off for seclusion to cultivate.

After Li Miaozhen had left, the old ancestor turned his gaze to Qin Feng, his face inevitably showing a hint of amused bewilderment.
