Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

In the attic of the tavern, Xiao Yan was imagining the future after absorbing the strange fire, when the Burning Technique would evolve into a Heaven-rank technique, and his own Dou Qi realm would also greatly improve as a result.

The competition in the square gradually came to an end.

However, within this ancient holy city teeming with powerful figures, the contest between merely two six-star Dou Zong cultivators could not even cause a ripple.

"The next fighters are Yang Hao, the third commander of the Black Annihilation Army, and Xiao Yan, a disciple of Yao Chen of the Starfall Pavilion!"

Just then, a loud shout rang out from the square, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Yao Chen? Could it be Yao Chen, the number one alchemist on the continent?"

"Heh heh, the top alchemist on the continent has changed hands!"

Someone said something, and the scene immediately fell silent. Everyone present was well-informed and naturally knew about the prodigy who had appeared in the latest Pill Gathering—Lin Feng!

At less than fifty years old, or rather, in his early thirties, he actually refined an eighth-grade nine-colored pill in public, and without relying on any external objects, he forcefully shattered the terrifying eighth-grade nine-colored pill lightning.

Such a person would be considered a top genius even among imperial clans.

Even the extremely arrogant Medicine Clan fell silent after hearing about Lin Feng's age and alchemy skills.

After this year's Alchemy Tournament, he did not make any sarcastic remarks, which shows just how powerful Lin Feng's talent is!

"Master Lin Feng's affairs are not something we can discuss casually. However, as for Xiao Yan, well..."

The man didn't say what he was about to say, but everyone understood the unspoken sarcasm in his words.

As far as they knew, Xiao Yan's talent was not weak, but he dared to provoke the young lady of the ancient clan.

That's really nonsensical!

The force behind him was merely the Starfall Pavilion, and its strongest member was only Yao Chen!

Although the Medicine Venerable was powerful, he was still too insignificant in front of such a behemoth as the Ancient Clan.

Today, at least there's something funny to watch.

Thinking of this, everyone tacitly stopped talking and laughing, and all looked at Yang Hao, who was wearing black armor in the middle of the field, and saw that his face was full of cold arrogance.

"Junior Brother Xiao Yan, it seems the people of this ancient clan are still too arrogant!"

Seeing Yang Hao's expression, not to mention Xiao Yan, even Lin Feng couldn't stand it.

These members of the imperial clans, relying on their Dou Di bloodline, have rapidly improved their cultivation levels, although they have many practical combat experiences to consolidate their cultivation.

He possesses many top-tier cultivation techniques and combat skills, but compared to other rogue cultivators of the same level, his combat experience is still somewhat superficial.

"Indeed, relying on the bloodline of a Dou Di, it has only reached the five-star Dou Zun realm at such a young age. Today, I will shatter its pride!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning flashed past Lin Feng, and in less than a breath, Xiao Yan appeared on the plaza.

"The three leaders of the ancient tribe? I wonder what kind of abilities you possess!"

Upon seeing Xiao Yan's move, Yang Hao's pupils constricted slightly. He then swung his spear, pointing it directly at Xiao Yan, and coldly shouted.

"I'll show you my skills soon enough. I also want to see just how you, a country bumpkin from the Northwest, managed to win the young lady's heart with such despicable means!"

"Today, I, Yang Hao, will expose your true colors, you country bumpkin!"

"Heavenly Fiend Shattering Claw!"

Yang Hao suddenly plunged his spear into the ground, then clenched his fist into a claw and viciously grabbed at Xiao Yan.

Seeing the fierce aura emanating from his palm, Xiao Yan was not careless and shouted.

"High-level Yellow-rank combat skill - Fire-Blowing Palm!"

A powerful flame appeared, accompanied by a strong hurricane, instantly causing Yang Hao's pupils to dilate. He then used the mysterious Dragon-Snake Steps to retreat swiftly.

However, once he realized what was happening, he became furious.

"Xiao Yan, how dare you use such a low-level fighting technique to humiliate me! Even if Miss tries to stop me, I will cripple you today!"

A surge of immense rage welled up from the depths of his heart, and Yang Hao's eyes were bloodshot. This was a high-level Yellow Rank combat technique, something he would only use as a transition when he had just become a Fighter.

"Imperial Seal Technique!"

"The Mountain-Opening Seal!"

"Turning the sea seal over!"

"Earth-Swept Seal!"

"Three seals united as one!"

"You bumpkin, how dare you anger this commander! I'll show you the terrifying power of the Imperial Clan!"

Seeing Yang Hao's rapidly stacked hand seals, Xiao Yan did not let his guard down. The reason he used the Flaming Palm was simply because his cultivation level was much higher than Yang Hao's.

He had also cultivated the Emperor Seal Technique, so he naturally knew the power of the three seals combined. Combined with Yang Hao's peak five-star Dou Zun realm, even he was in danger of being seriously injured if he was careless.

"Flames Divide and Devour the Waves!"

A familiar black ruler appeared in his palm, which he clenched slightly before wielding it rapidly.

The two Dou Zun experts unleashed their full power, and the collision of their terrifying auras would have reduced the plaza to dust in an instant had it not been specially reinforced.

Even so, the terrifying fluctuations caused the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) to fluctuate violently.

Upon seeing this, the crowd around the square quickly retreated to a distance.

"I initially thought Xiao Yan was only strong because of his reputation as the Medicine Venerable, but I never expected his strength to be so formidable!"

"Yes, Yang Hao's talent is extremely strong to become the third commander of the Black Annihilation Army. Xiao Yan is actually able to contend with him!"

"It seems this battle is going to be extremely exciting!"

"."

"Lin Feng, what do you think of this battle?"

Just as everyone was discussing, a familiar, aged voice rang in Lin Feng's ears, and then an old man appeared beside Lin Feng.

"Dean!"

With a wave of his hand, Mang Tianchi looked at the two people in the arena who were constantly gathering the energy of heaven and earth, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a battle of this caliber!"

"Speaking of which, one of them was the dean's student."

Just then, Lin Feng suddenly spoke up.

"Student, Lin Feng, what do you mean?"

Mang Tianchi was taken aback. One of the two people in the arena was a member of the Black Annihilation Army, so he was naturally excluded. Therefore, it could only be the other one.

"That's right. Junior Brother Xiao Yan and I both came from the Northwest Continent and studied at Canaan Academy."

"Hahaha!"

Mang Tianchi suddenly burst into triumphant laughter, stroking his scattered beard with delight.

"My casual act back then has actually nurtured geniuses like you and Xiao Yan. It seems Canaan Academy is truly remarkable!"

Seeing Mang Tianchi laughing heartily, Lin Feng naturally wouldn't spoil the mood by saying that Xiao Yan's achievements today actually had little to do with Canaan Academy.

Or rather, it has little to do with Mang Tianchi!

"It seems that I'll have to protect this little fellow Xiao Yan during our upcoming trip to the Ancient Realm. The arrogance of the Imperial Clan is not something he can contend with!"

Mang Tianchi's expression turned solemn. As a newcomer to the Lei Clan, he naturally knew what kind of people the Imperial Clan members were.

"boom"

After the fierce collision, the result was unexpected: a figure shot out and crashed into the huge stone pillars surrounding the square.

By the time it fell, the stone pillar behind it was covered in cracks, which shows how enormous the impact was.

"The third commander of the Black Annihilation Army has actually lost!"

Everyone stared blankly at Yang Hao, who lay motionless on the ground, seemingly unconscious from the heavy blow.

"Eighth Brother, aren't you coming to take me away? Are you going to let me continue to embarrass myself here?"

Just as everyone was in disbelief, a voice transmission suddenly appeared in the ears of the eight commanders of the Black Annihilation Army.

Although the Eighth Commander was speechless at his third brother's bizarre actions, he was aware of the seriousness of the situation. If Yang Hao continued to lie there, the ancient clan would continue to lose face.

If this matter reaches the ears of the commander-in-chief, he will likely suffer the consequences.

Upon realizing this, Lao Ba quickly appeared beside Yang Hao, glanced at Xiao Yan, and then quickly helped Yang Hao leave.

As for making threats? He's our third brother, Lao Ba. A wise man knows when to yield. He's clearly no match for Xiao Yan. If he gets beaten up for being stubborn, it would be a loss.

After the Black Annihilation Army left, another wave of voice transmissions arose around the square, all expressing shock.

"To defeat a stronger opponent with the help of a strange fire is nothing special!"

In a corner of the tavern, a middle-aged man spoke calmly.

"However, under the tutelage of a Medicine Venerable, Xiao Yan has actually reached the peak of the Seven-Star Dou Zun at this age, so his talent is not weak!"

"His soul power is also quite strong; I heard he achieved rather good results in the Pill Tower Competition!"

"His strange fire is amazing!"

Just then, a clear, cold voice rang in everyone's ears, startling them.

"Fire Child."

Just then, Xiao Yan, who was about to return to the pavilion, suddenly felt a strong urge emanating from the strange fire within his body.

"This is?"

"puff"

After a moment of surprise, Xiao Yan continued walking towards the pavilion, but he couldn't help but be curious about the figures with flame patterns on their foreheads.

The aloof woman in the corner had a momentary tremor in her aura, but quickly regained her composure.

"Fire Child, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Yan's strange fire is incredibly powerful; it seems much stronger than the Red Lotus Karmic Fire!"

The aloof woman named Huo Zhi slowly rose. She was dressed in a light red dress and wore a mask, but her figure was extremely hot.

"What!?"

"Even stronger than the Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame, this is the eighth-ranked Strange Flame!"

The group was somewhat incredulous, but Huo Zhi didn't respond, though a fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.

"I'm determined to settle this with you!"

"Hahaha, you're not bad, kid!"

The moment Xiao Yan stepped onto the pavilion, a large hand slammed down on his shoulder with lightning speed.

To his shock, no matter how he tried to dodge, he couldn't avoid it.

This scene instantly made Xiao Yan break out in a cold sweat. Could it be that the old guys of the ancient clan even have to interfere in the fights between their peers?

"You brat, what are you doing? I am Mangtian Ruler, the Dean of Canaan Academy!"

After giving Xiao Yan a heavy pat on the shoulder, causing him to shake, Mang Tianchi stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"Old man Gu Xun, this little fellow Xiao Yan is under my protection. You wouldn't want to lay a hand on him, would you?"

Mang Tianchi suddenly asked a question in the void, his tone full of laughter, as if he were very familiar with the person who came.

"Mang Tianchi, you old rascal, I didn't mean that at all!"

Upon realizing that his disguise had been seen through, the old man known as Gu Xun no longer concealed himself and appeared from the void with a bitter smile on his face.

"Young friend Lin Feng!"

He first gestured to Lin Feng, then looked at Xiao Yan beside him and said with a serious expression.

"Young friend Xiao Yan, because of Miss, your upcoming journey will be extremely troublesome. If you haven't made up your mind, you should return to Starfall Pavilion now."

"Out of respect for the Medicine Venerable, the younger generation of the clan will not make things difficult for you!"

"Thank you for your kindness, senior. However, since Xun'er has invited me here, I naturally will not back down!"

Xiao Yan clasped his hands together, a surge of heroic spirit rising to the sky. Even if there were many difficulties and obstacles ahead, he would not give up.

"Hahaha, Xiao Yan, you're not bad, I like you!"

Mang Tianchi slammed heavily onto Xiao Yan's shoulder again, its powerful physique numbing half of Xiao Yan's body.

"Old Dean, could you please go a little easier on me?"

Xiao Yan's face was full of bitter smiles. If this continued, he would be paralyzed before he even entered the Ancient Realm.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Since you're so confident, I'm looking forward to seeing how you perform!"

Watching Gu Xun leave, Mang Tianchi's expression turned serious. He glanced around and then spoke.

"Xiao Yan, although the old guys from the ancient clans won't make things difficult for you out of respect for whoever is in the Heavenly Curtain."

"However, the younger generation of the ancient clans is also extremely powerful. Unless you possess the strength of Lin Feng, you should still take this seriously!"

Mang Tianchi glanced at Lin Feng beside him, his tone tinged with emotion. In his perception, Lin Feng was shrouded in mist.

Although Lin Feng's current strength is unclear, a top expert who has experienced many battles will never be wrong in his perception of danger.

Lin Feng gave him a feeling of death!

"Thank you for your concern, Dean. Xiao Yan will definitely not let you down!"

"Haha, in that case, let's head to the Ancient Realm together!"

After Mang Tianchi and Lin Feng left, three figures clad in black robes slowly appeared in a corner of the pavilion.

"I never expected that old man Mang Tianchi to be working for them!"

A slightly effeminate voice rang out, and an eerie feeling immediately washed over them.

"Lin Feng of the Pill Tower and Xiao Yan, a descendant of the Xiao Clan, must possess exceptionally remarkable souls!"

Hehehe

Not long after, Lin Feng and his companions met Elder Gu Xun again. After he finished explaining the rules of the ancient realms, a massive spatial gate opened.

"Please come in, everyone!"

Upon seeing this, Mang Tianchi did not wait and immediately led Lin Feng and Xiao Yan toward the spatial gate.

As he passed by Gu Xun, he nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

The young man beside Gu Xun looked at Xiao Yan following behind Mang Tianchi and seemed to want to make a move, but he could only give up because he was wary of Mang Tianchi.

"Xiao Yan, you'll be in for a world of hurt once you enter the Ancient Realm!"

Turning his head slightly to look at the young man beside Gu Xun, Xiao Yan simply smiled, opened his mouth, and uttered a few words.

"you,"

However, Xiao Yan had already disappeared into the spatial gate and could no longer hear the young man's voice transmission.

"The energy of heaven and earth is truly abundant. If one were to cultivate here, the time would probably be reduced by nearly half compared to the outside world. Apart from the bloodline of the Dou Di, this is probably also the reason why the imperial clans are stronger than those from the outside world!"

Xiao Yan gently stroked the air in front of him, a look of emotion on his face.

"The reason why the Imperial Clan is so powerful is not just because of this; the foundation of the descendants of the Dou Di is beyond your imagination!"

Clearly, Mang Tianchi was unaware of the matter concerning Xiao Yan's descendants of the Xiao clan.

However, that's not wrong. The Xiao family nowadays no longer resembles an imperial family. Apart from Xiao Yan, they can only rule over a small city in the Northwest Continent.

"Yes, the amplification of bloodline, as long as the simple requirements are met, allows one to cultivate high-level techniques and combat skills, as well as many secret arts and secret realms."

"Take that sky canopy for example. Not only is the energy of heaven and earth more concentrated within it, but it can even alter time. Those with sufficient talent can even receive the inheritance of their ancestors."

At this point, Lin Feng also felt envious of these imperial clansmen. If he had been born into an imperial clan, even with extremely rare bloodlines, he would definitely have fared better than Ling Quan and the others.

Xiao Yan, who was standing to the side, had heard Lin Feng mention the sky curtain several times and was also curious about it. However, now was not the time to ask, so he suppressed his doubts.

Seeing the curiosity in Xiao Yan's eyes, Lin Feng smiled subtly and said, "Little brother, I'm destined to get one of the Sky Screen spots. I'll need you to put in a lot of effort!"

"boom"

Just then, a muffled sound came, and ten huge warships appeared before everyone's eyes.

After everyone boarded the ship, Xiao Yan was still shocked by the ancient clan's profound knowledge. After all, being able to travel and traverse through the void was far beyond what ordinary space passage ships could achieve.

They're products from completely different dimensions!

"The Sky-Traveling Boat is certainly no ordinary vessel!"

Just then, a figure in white robes slowly walked towards the scene, a lifelike flame on his forehead.

"Greetings, Senior Lei Clan, Master Lin Feng!"

After gesturing to Xiao Yan, the white-robed man bowed slightly to Mang Tianchi and Lin Feng.

Both of them were figures worthy of his respect: a semi-saint elder of the Thunder Clan, a new generation giant of the Pill Tower, and an eighth-grade nine-colored alchemist.

"Fire Blade, you're still the same as before, which is quite out of character for your Flame Clan!"

Upon seeing the man in white, Mang Tianchi stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

Among the many imperial clans, the Thunder Clan and the Flame Clan have a good relationship. After all, they have to work together to guard against the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan, two imperial clans with nine-star Dou Sheng (Battle Saints). So, they naturally cooperate more.

Seeing this, Huo Xuan just smiled slightly. He was already familiar with Mang Tianchi's eccentric personality.

Next, Huo Xuan revealed more information than Tian Mu knew, while also reminding Xiao Yan to be wary of the Medicine Clan and the Soul Clan.

After Huo Xuan left, Gu Zhen, the great leader of the ancient clan, arrived, but Lin Feng was somewhat impatient at this time.

Having reached the semi-saint realm, he had long surpassed the scope of the younger generation, so chatting with them now wouldn't offer much nutritional value.

Moreover, most of these people are drawn to Xiao Yan because of his Xiao clan identity and his relationship with the young lady of the ancient clan.

Therefore, after saying goodbye to the two, Lin Feng went to the front deck of the warship to admire the scenery of the ancient world.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye. With Mang Tianchi accompanying him, Xiao Yan was not troubled by the young people of the ancient clans as he was in the original story.

Of course, once the ancient clan's coming-of-age ceremony truly begins, no one can stop the struggles among the younger generation.

After all, to truly get close to the young lady of the ancient clan, one must have the strength!

After Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er, or rather Gu Xun'er, left, Lin Feng, led by a maid, began to wander around the ancient realm.

Leaving aside Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er's long-awaited reunion, Lin Feng had only been sightseeing for half an hour when the maid seemed to have received some kind of telepathic message and led him to a certain hall.

A figure above the main hall, Zhu Gong, who had been missing for many days, sat on the right side of the head seat, clearly showing the great respect the ancient clan held for him.

"Young friend Lin Feng, you've arrived!"

Upon seeing Lin Feng enter, the middle-aged man at the head of the table smiled slightly, but Lin Feng felt a tremendous pressure welling up inside him.

Given Zhugong's level of cultivation, among this vast ancient clan, there is only one person who can sit at the head of the table.

Out of respect for the Eight-Star Dou Sheng and the Dragon Clan, the many figures in this hall...

Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but take a slight breath.

"Greetings, senior!"

"Hahaha, young friend Lin Feng is indeed a peerless talent, having already entered the semi-saint realm, and his soul power has even reached the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm."

"He is also an eighth-grade, nine-colored alchemist—no, it won't be long before he can be called a Medicine Saint!"

"What an enviable talent! If young friend Lin Feng were a member of my ancient clan, how wonderful that would be."

The middle-aged man at the head of the table looked on with admiration, and many elderly men with white hair stroked their beards, acknowledging Lin Feng's talent.

At the same time, it subtly reveals a sense of closeness, after all, Lin Feng is still the son-in-law of the Dragon Clan, with an eight-star Dou Sheng Taixu Ancient Dragon backing him up.

After several days of discussion, the ancient clans have decided to secretly form an alliance with the dragon clan, and the two sides are naturally very close at this moment.

"Young friend Lin Feng, let me introduce you!"

An elderly man slowly rose from his seat and began to introduce Lin Feng, revealing the identities of Gu Yuan and the others one by one.

However, even being the son-in-law of the Dragon Clan is not enough to warrant such treatment from the ancient clans, though Lin Feng's talent is not weak either.

With the joint training of the Pill Tower and the Dragon Clan, it's inevitable that a ninth-grade Pill Master and a Battle Saint will emerge in the future.

In addition, given his connection to the Dragon Clan, he will undoubtedly become a great figure in the future, so this is a way of getting to know him in advance.

"Young friend Lin Feng, regarding the Sky Curtain quota you mentioned, we have discussed it and agreed."

After the elder finished his introduction, he asked a question.

"The reason I invited you here is not only to get to know you, but also to ask you to take care of the younger generation of the ancient clan in the Sky Curtain."

"Rest assured, Senior Nanhai, I will do my best!"

Lin Feng bowed slightly, and after asking Lin Feng a few symbolic questions, Zhu Gong led Lin Feng away, leaving him completely bewildered.

After watching the two figures disappear from sight, the many elders in the hall began to speak one after another.

"This prince consort of the Dragon Clan possesses exceptional talent, even among our ancient clans!"

"Indeed, apart from Miss, I can't find a single junior who can compare!"

"It seems that in recent years, we haven't paid enough attention to the training of the younger generation."

Many elderly men with white hair and beards sighed, suddenly realizing that their proud juniors were actually much weaker than someone who wasn't from the imperial clan.

According to intelligence, Lin Feng was clearly born in the impoverished Northwest Continent, making him a true grassroots figure.

Even if they received training from the dragon race, they were not true ancient dragons and did not possess the dragon race's talents. Under such circumstances, they were actually much stronger than the younger generation of the clan who possessed the bloodline of the Dou Di.

Clearly, the clan has been living too comfortably all these years.

"These things can be discussed later; the most important thing right now is the matter of the Void Devouring Flame!"

Just then, Gu Yuan, who was seated at the head of the hall, spoke up, bringing the topic back to the main point.

"According to Zhugong, the Void Devouring Flame is even stronger than him. If that's true, then the power of the Soul Clan needs to be reassessed!"

"It seems the injuries the clan chief inflicted on him thousands of years ago have fully healed, and he may have even improved further!"

An elderly man sitting below Gu Yuan spoke with a solemn expression.

"And that Soul Void Child, he's actually reached the Seven-Star Dou Sheng level! It seems the Soul Clan has unknowingly accumulated considerable strength!"

"Chieftain, should we really agree to what Zhugong said?"

"Hahaha, although the Soul Clan is powerful, my Ancient Clan is the number one imperial clan. Moreover, with the Dragon Clan joining us now, what can the Soul Clan do to us?"

Gu Yuan slowly stood up, waved his hand, and looked into the distance, as if he saw his old rival, the Soul Emperor.

"This can be considered a warning to the Soul Clan!"

"The clan chief's reputation is truly admirable!"

Along the path, Zhugong led Lin Feng, whose face was filled with doubt, on a slow walk.

"Senior Zhugong, what is the meaning behind the ancient clan's actions?"

"Haha, it doesn't mean anything. I just wanted to show our intimacy, and also genuinely wanted you to protect the younger generation of the ancient clan within the sky!"

Zhu Gong waved his hand slightly, stopping Lin Feng from continuing to ask questions.

"The alliance has been formed, and it is time for me to return to Dragon Island and begin plotting my revenge against the Soul Clan."

"In the meantime, focus on improving yourself within the ancient clan. If you can advance to the Dou Sheng realm, that would be even better!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the candle bow disappeared, leaving Lin Feng standing there dumbfounded.

"I'm still too weak. Although Senior Zhugong has acknowledged my relationship with Ziyan, in his eyes, I'm still just a junior!"

Thinking of this, Lin Feng was not discouraged. If the Dragon Clan's plan succeeded, he would be able to make great progress and truly enter the Saint level in terms of combat power.

Of course, during this trip to the ancient clans, he will also seize the opportunity presented by the Heavenly Curtain to make rapid progress in the Half-Saint realm!

Before he knew it, the ancient clan's coming-of-age ceremony arrived. As a special guest, Lin Feng was naturally invited to the VIP seats early on.

However, after Mang Tianchi left, Xiao Yan seemed to still receive the same treatment as before.

Beside him, the young lady of the ancient clan stared coldly at Gu Qian and Gu Xu in front of her.

"Hahaha, how could you two good-for-nothings bully my students, Mang Tianchi's students!"

"Gentlemen, for my sake, please let Junior Brother Xiao Yan come over!"

Two figures, one old and one young, appeared one after the other in front of the numerous Black Annihilation Army soldiers, which made Xiao Yan's face light up with joy.

"Dean, Senior Brother Lin Feng!"

"Hahaha, Xiao Yan, I never expected you to win the heart of the young lady of the ancient clan. You've truly made me proud! Hahahaha!"

Mang Tianchi laughed and gave Xiao Yan's shoulder another heavy slap, causing Xiao Yan's face to show a bitter expression once again.

"The former dean."

When Gu Xun'er saw that the shameless old man Mang Tianchi directly revealing her relationship with Brother Xiao Yan, she felt a little shy.

"Dean, Xun'er, your junior, also studied at the academy for a period of time!"

"Is that so?"

Mang Tianchi's smile faltered, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He looked at Lin Feng with an expression that seemed to say, "Are you kidding me?", which made everyone want to laugh.

"Greetings, Dean!"

Before Lin Feng could reply, Gu Xun'er bowed slightly and greeted Mang Tianchi.

"Hahaha, my decision to establish Canaan Academy was truly a brilliant idea! It has actually brought us three of the continent's top geniuses!"

The group chatted amongst themselves, completely disregarding Gu Qian and his companion, a sight that enraged them.

Among the group, Xiao Yan was clearly the easiest to handle, so Gu Qian shouted again.

"Xiao Yan, the VIP section is not for you. For the sake of Miss, I will let it slide. I hope you will leave on your own!"

"You ignorant old fool, do you really want me to take action today?"

Seeing that the old man was still oblivious, Mang Tianchi's face showed a hint of anger, and he rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight him.

"Gu Qian, Gu Xu, you two may leave!"

"yes!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Gu Qian and Gu Xu, regardless of their inner thoughts, could only bow and retreat.

"It's you, old man! Years have passed, and you're still as spry as ever!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Mang Tianchi burst into laughter, a stark contrast to his earlier angry expression. Clearly, he and the newcomer had a good relationship.

"Today, the younger generation of my clan has made a fool of themselves in front of you!"

Upon seeing this, Tongxuan smiled slightly, stroking his beard.

"We can catch up later. My task today is very demanding, and I dare not delay."

"Young friend Xiao Yan, please take your seat in the VIP section!"

With a slight gesture, Elder Tongxuan nodded to Gu Xun'er before returning to his seat.

After Elder Tongxuan returned, Lin Feng and Mang Tianchi also returned to the VIP seats, leaving only Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er, the childhood sweethearts, behind.

At this critical juncture, the two did not say much. Under the murderous gazes of many young members of the ancient clan, they were intimate for a while before returning to their respective places.

"Thump"

Before long, an ancient bell rang out over the ancient mountain range, and the people in the square came back to their senses.

"The time has come. I hereby declare the coming-of-age ceremony officially begins!"

An aged voice rang out from nowhere, and even Lin Feng couldn't detect where it came from.

However, the name sounded somewhat familiar. "So it's Senior Gu Nanhai!"

Xiao Yan, standing next to Lin Feng, was utterly shocked.

"Such power, Senior Brother Lin Feng, could this be the true form of a Dou Sheng?"

Xiao Yan's shock was undisguised; the old man seemed even more unfathomable than his teacher.

Only a true Dou Sheng powerhouse could explain this situation.

"That's right," Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, calmly looking at the three elders in the center of the plaza, "and they're not ordinary Dou Sheng!"

"What?!"

Lin Feng did not answer, because in the arena, the ancient clan's coming-of-age ceremony had truly begun after many complicated procedures.

"Lingquan, sixth-rank bloodline, bestowed with a golden clan emblem!"

"Thank you, Elder!"

Lingquan knelt on one knee, respectfully clasped his hands in a fist salute, and his face was full of joy.

Although he only reached the sixth rank among the ten rank bloodlines, the ancient emperor had lived for many years, and the descendants of the ancient clan had become as numerous as blue silver grass by the roadside over the long period of time.

Reaching the sixth rank and even being granted the third-grade golden clan emblem means that his future status within the clan will certainly be quite high!

Thousands of years later, the number of people in the ancient clan who could surpass his generation would definitely not exceed ten.

After the golden patterns were fully etched on Lingquan's forehead, Lingquan consciously stepped back.

Lin Feng, sitting in the VIP section, was somewhat puzzled. Why did the ancient clan's four commanders and eight generals start with Ling Quan, the seventh general, and where was the eighth general placed?

Even Lin Feng had some respect for Lao Ba's charisma. It's true that the ancient clans were somewhat bad at judging people!

Thinking of this, Lin Feng felt somewhat disappointed about the upcoming ceremony. After informing Xiao Yan, he closed his eyes to rest.

As time passed, after Lingquan, many commanders were granted golden clan emblems one by one. When it came to Guzhen, the Grand Commander, there was a slight ripple in the arena.

"It's a purple-gold clan crest!"

Lin Feng heard Xiao Yan's slightly surprised voice, and he could also detect a hint of solemnity in it. After all, Gu Zhen's realm was similar to his own, both of them having reached the peak of the Seven Star Dou Zun realm.

Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, not because of Gu Zhen, but because the guy who was about to be granted the clan mark would bring Lin Feng some amusement.

This will help alleviate the boredom caused by the tedious ritual.

"Xiao Yan, do you dare accept my challenge?"

As expected, the ancient demon who was next to be granted the clan mark, after receiving the purple-gold clan mark, pointed his gaze directly at Xiao Yan, and an icy chill gradually spread throughout the entire area.

"An eight-star Dou Zun, that's quite interesting. Today, I'll test the skills of this ancient clan's peer at the same level!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large black ruler appeared in Xiao Yan's palm. He squeezed it slightly and then hurled it directly into the center of the plaza, where it slammed heavily into Gu Yao's face.

Amidst the bewildered expressions of the surrounding guests, a bolt of lightning flashed and appeared atop the black ruler, looking down at the ancient demon with an icy expression.

"Today, I'll make you truly convinced!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined that the ancient demon, so easily underestimated, would laugh so loudly. Those in the Black Annihilation Army who knew the reason behind his title of Commander of the Asura were now looking at Xiao Yan with pity.

"This guy's dead meat today."

On the high platform, Lin Feng looked at the spirited Xiao Yan and couldn't help but chuckle.

"I never expected this guy to have this side to him."

However, they were just two nobodies who hadn't even entered the Transcendent Realm. Even if Xiao Yan and Yao Jie had secret techniques to greatly increase their strength at the Dou Zun Realm, it would still be nothing more than a slap from Lin Feng.

As for Xiao Yan, he truly lives up to his reputation as someone who could become the Flame Emperor.

Even though Lin Feng took away many opportunities, and Yao Lao was not captured by the Soul Palace, he still broke through in battle and advanced to the eight-star Dou Zun realm.

As for Gu Yao, he lived up to the pride of the imperial clan, as he did not attack Xiao Yan when he broke through.

It was precisely because of this that after Xiao Yan defeated him, the two began to appreciate each other to some extent.

Lin Feng was no match for her in this respect; he could only engage in verbal battles with stunningly beautiful fairies.

What Lin Feng considered a trivial trick, however, made many members of the imperial clans take a serious look. Two eight-star Dou Zun, whose methods were not of imperial clan origin, were enough to make them take it seriously.

Especially the Medicine Clan, if they hadn't been mindful that this was an ancient clan's coming-of-age ceremony, they probably would have captured Xiao Yan the moment they saw his Buddha's Fury Lotus.

Even if they couldn't obtain the means to control multiple different flames, those few flames alone would greatly enhance the alchemy skills of the younger generation of the Medicine Clan.

Even the Yan Clan members were somewhat envious.

Before Xiao Yan appeared, there were only two beings in the world who could control multiple different flames, and they were the top experts on the continent, suppressing the rage of the different flames with absolute strength.

Xiao Yan's situation was clearly different; he seemed to have perfectly fused different kinds of strange fire together.

"The following ceremony will be presided over by this old man himself!"

Just as everyone was secretly discussing Xiao Yan, a familiar figure appeared in the room.

"Elder Tongxuan!"

Upon seeing the newcomers, the three elders nodded slightly, stepped aside, and looked on with anticipation.

"Miss Xun'er, please come up!"

Tongxuan held the astrolabe in his hand and spoke gently, his tone full of anticipation.

"Miss Xun'er's bloodline registration was already extremely high in the previous tests. Many years have passed; she must have improved further. I wonder to what extent she will reach?"

"Miss Xun'er is also the daughter of the clan leader, who is the strongest person on the continent, a peak nine-star Dou Sheng. Presumably, his bloodline is also different."

"."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and even Lin Feng turned his gaze in this direction, curious about the divine-grade bloodline.

"One, two, thirty, ten stars!!!"

The star chart lit up at an extremely fast speed, and even after reaching nine stars, the speed slowed down slightly, but it still reached ten stars.

"Divine bloodline!"

"Hahaha, after many years, another divine-grade bloodline has been born! May our Dou Di ancestor bless us!"

"A divine bloodline, destined to make one a Battle Saint, and perhaps even with a chance at the legendary Emperor's throne!"

"Haha, my ancient clan will surely continue to prosper!"

"."

"Even with my mid-stage Heavenly Realm soul power, I felt a slight suppression? This divine-grade bloodline is indeed quite extraordinary!"

Lin Feng sighed inwardly, "It's a pity I can't use it for research, otherwise my own bloodline might undergo some changes."

Lin Feng slowly raised his palm, looking through the flesh and blood at the jade-like bones, the bone marrow inside seemingly flashing with a hint of gold.

The pressure emanating from it seemed similar to that of the divine bloodline from before, yet also quite different.

Whether it's quality or quantity!
