Su Mei never expected that Lin Feng was actually the black-robed man who had survived the Tribulation of the Three Nine Heavens.

That black-robed man who stirred up the storm between the righteous and the demonic paths, and who struck fear into the hearts of countless forces.

It turned out to be Lin Feng, the young sect master of the Cangxuan Sect.

What alarmed her even more was that, according to the description of the surviving cultivators of the Green Wood Sect,

The one who ransacked the Green Wood Sect's treasury and looted the entire sect's wealth was also a man in black robes.

Even though Su Mei racked her brains, she still couldn't believe that the man in black was Lin Feng.

After all, the black-robed man had survived the Tribulation of the Three Nine Heavens, a fact witnessed by everyone present.

The Tribulation of the Three Nines, what does that even mean?

When lightning strikes from the sky, even an ordinary Golden Core cultivator at the peak of their cultivation level cannot withstand it without a defensive magical artifact.

The man in black robes not only easily survived, but also stepped into the Nascent Soul realm in one fell swoop.

But what about Lin Feng?

It has only been a little over half a year since she first heard the name.

Half a year ago, this kid was still stuck in the Qi Refining stage, and in the blink of an eye, he's reached the Golden Core stage. This kind of cultivation speed is already terrifying enough.

But now he has reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

However, some doubts remained. If it were said that he was the Nascent Soul Realm black-robed man, no one in the entire cultivation world would believe it.

It only took half a year to go from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul. This is not cultivation; this is being chosen as the Child of Heaven.

Su Mei's mind raced, and suddenly a thought flashed through her mind:

Are the two people wearing the same clothes?

That's possible.

After all, black robes aren't rare; they're everywhere. It might just be a coincidence.

Su Mei desperately tried to find explanations for herself, because only in this way could she maintain her basic understanding of the world.

Yes, that must be it.

Otherwise, it simply doesn't make sense.

Looking at the stunned Su Mei, Lin Feng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

He wasn't in a hurry to speak, but simply observed the usually aloof and self-possessed Palace Master of the Magnolia Palace with leisurely composure.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

They are clearly frantically searching for reasons to deny the facts before them.

With a thought, the immense power of his nascent soul, a terrifying aura, instantly erupted from his body.

This oppressive force, though invisible and intangible, crashed down on Su Mei like a towering mountain.

It was so heavy that the air in the entire space seemed to freeze.

The pressure exerted by the Nascent Soul Realm is completely different from that of the Golden Core Realm.

Every movement carries the essence of the laws of heaven and earth.

That sense of oppression was exerted on the level of the soul, and was something the physical body simply could not resist.

Su Mei felt an overwhelming force descend from the sky.

Her knees offered almost no resistance and buckled, causing her to kneel on the ground with a thud.

The sound was exceptionally clear.

She, Su Mei, has been in charge of the Magnolia Palace for decades. When has she ever knelt down to anyone?

But at this moment, kneeling before Lin Feng, she couldn't muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

The pressure was so intense that she felt like an ant facing an ancient behemoth.

Despite the immense humiliation, Su Mei's shock far outweighed the humiliation.

She struggled to lift her head, her usually cool and composed face now filled with disbelief.

The shock in his eyes was almost overflowing.

She stared at Lin Feng, her voice trembling, "It really is you... How could you possibly break through to the Nascent Soul Realm?"

Seeing that she completely believed him, Lin Feng stopped making things difficult for her.

With a thought, the overwhelming pressure receded like a tide, disappearing completely in an instant.

Everything returned to normal, as if the terrifying sense of oppression from before was just an illusion.

Su Mei's body suddenly felt lighter, but she did not stand up immediately. Instead, she remained kneeling on the ground, panting heavily.

In just a few short breaths, her back was already soaked with cold sweat.

The moon-white long dress clung to her back, outlining her slightly trembling breasts.

Lin Feng sat back down in his chair, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then said calmly:

"Of course it's me."

Su Mei slowly stood up, her legs still feeling a little weak.

She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down, but she couldn't suppress the tremor in her voice:

"How...how did you do that?"

Lin Feng casually asked, "Is breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage difficult?"

I practiced and practiced until I broke through the barrier.

Su Mei opened her mouth, but was so choked by those words that she couldn't utter a single word.

Did you break through your limits while practicing?

What do you take the Nascent Soul Realm for?

Is it as simple as eating and drinking?

Countless geniuses in the cultivation world are stuck at the peak of the Golden Core stage, exhausting their entire lives but unable to take that step.

She herself was one of them, stuck at the peak of the Golden Core stage for decades.

These words are far too arrogant.

If someone else said those words to her, Su Mei would definitely think that person was either crazy or stupid.

But now, the facts are right in front of us.

The pressure from that Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was undeniable; she would never forget the crushing force on the soul level.

Since that's the case, then it's a matter of strength.

Faced with absolute strength, any doubts seem pale and laughable.

For a moment, Su Mei was stunned and somewhat bewildered by Lin Feng's talent.

She had lived for so many years, seen countless geniuses, and heard many legends, but she had never seen anyone like this before.

No, I've never even heard of it, let alone seen it.

There's no such legend that it only took half a year to go from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul.

Su Mei's Dao heart almost shattered at this moment.

She cultivated for decades, progressing steadily and surely, from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, and from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core. Each step was taken with utmost care and trepidation.

I consider myself to be outstanding among my peers.

Compared to this young man, her years of hard work seem like a joke.

How can a person be so defying the heavens?

Could he be the chosen one of Heaven?

Seeing Su Mei's distraught appearance, Lin Feng knew what she was thinking.

However, he had no interest in comforting her, nor in discussing cultivation insights with her. He hadn't called Su Mei over alone tonight to talk about these things.

He smiled slightly and casually changed the subject:

"Do you still remember when Palace Master Su came to Cangxuan Sect to propose marriage?"

Su Mei was still in shock and hadn't fully recovered when Lin Feng suddenly brought it up, leaving her somewhat confused.

But she forced herself to concentrate and nodded: "Of course I remember."

That incident happened not long ago, how could she possibly forget it?

At that time, she brought her disciple Lu Xian'er to Cangxuan Sect to propose marriage. Initially, it was Lu Xian'er's request, but later she also saw Lin Feng's potential and the power of Cangxuan Sect.

It's just that Lin Feng was too arrogant back then, and that's why he didn't succeed.

She used to think Lin Feng was arrogant, but now it seems she was being a bit shallow.
