Chapter 42 Shangyuan Daoist
"Who are you?"
Lin Feng's phantom looked towards Zhan Junhua.
"I am an elder of the Spirit Array Master Guild," Zhan Junhua said cautiously.
...
When Lin Feng was crowned as the Great Elder of the Spirit Array Master Guild,
even four Holy-grade Spiritual Array Masters appeared.
This event caused an immense uproar.
To many, it seemed that Lin Feng might one day become an heir of the Spirit Array Master Guild, just like a few others.
After all,
Lin Feng was only around twenty years old this year.
Such a person,
let alone a mere elder like him,
even the Great Elders would probably want to befriend him.
...
"So you are a person from the Spirit Array Master Guild, you want to break my Formation?" Lin Feng asked.
Zhan Junhua, terrified, hastily said, "My lord, I wouldn't dare."
"Then withdraw," Lin Feng's phantom said as it dissipated into nothingness.
The Array Patterns in the Void
also returned to calm.
Zhan Junhua let out a sigh of relief.
"Lord? Did you all hear that? Zhan Junhua, such a big figure, actually addressed that young man as 'my lord'? Who exactly is that young man?"
Every person's heart was deeply shocked.
"Elder Zhan, what is this...?"
Seeing Zhan Junhua stand up from the ground, Song Yunqing asked with some confusion and disbelief.
Now, looking at Song Yunqing, Zhan Junhua felt the urge to slap him to death.
This guy had actually offended Elder Lin Feng,
and even caused himself to almost get into trouble.
But still, Zhan Junhua held back his anger, considering that Song Yunqing had given him a bottle of Blood Demon Liquid.
He looked at Song Yunqing and said, "Withdraw, the lord within this room is not someone your Blood Soul Island can afford to provoke."
Song Yunqing and the others' faces suddenly changed.
They were very unwilling,
but could only retreat.
Zhan Junhua then stood by the side of the private room like a guardian deity, providing protection for Lin Feng.
"No way? Zhan Junhua has become a guard? I am really curious, who exactly is that person inside the private room?"
"Could it be a scion of the high echelons of the Spirit Array Master General Union?"
"With such a young age and high level of expertise in spirit arrays, he indeed could be the offspring of the high-level members of the Spirit Array Master General Union."
"No wonder Zhan Junhua was so frightened; if he is a descendant of the Spirit Array Master Guild's high-level members, he might become one of the Dominators in the future, controlling the fate of Spirit Array Masters."
"Zhan Junhua is quite astute, perhaps he will turn this misfortune into a blessing and seize the opportunity to climb the ranks by currying favor with this mysterious young master."
...
Many people were talking about it.
One by one, the others also began to leave.
Lin Feng knew nothing about what had happened outside.
Because he had sealed the entire private room with a grand Array, and was diligently practicing inside.
Days went by.
Lin Feng spent his days practicing, studying spirit arrays, and refining medicine,
day in and day out.
One and a half months later,
the fleet reached the Deep Sea region.
This was already the territory of the Sea Clan.
Thus, the fleet moved
very cautiously.
"Squeak."
The door of the private room opened and Lin Feng walked out.
"Greetings, my lord."
Zhan Junhua, who was standing outside, quickly bowed to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng carefully sensed the Divine Sense memories left outside, understanding everything that had happened before.
This Zhan Junhua had actually guarded outside the private room for over a month.
Such perseverance was indeed astonishing.
"Zhan Junhua, right? You've done well, go and rest," Lin Feng said.
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Zhan Junhua was immediately moved to tears.
It seemed that his efforts in guarding here for Lin Feng for over a month
were not in vain.
Lord Lin Feng had remembered his name.
"Thank you for your concern, my lord. I take my leave," Zhan Junhua bowed to Lin Feng and then left.
...
Lin Feng arrived on the deck.
"Eh, such heavy snow?"
Lin Feng was astonished.
He saw that outside, the snow was fluttering down.
Many islands were covered in a white triumph.
"The ocean climate is indeed changeable; different seas may have different climates,"
a young Taoist came over, smiling slightly.
Lin Feng had seen this Taoist before. He smiled and asked, "May I know how to address the Taoist?"
"Taoist Name Shangyuan,"
the Taoist replied.
"Lin Feng."
...
"Does Mr. Lin also understand the art of Taoist cultivation?"
Taoist Shangyuan asked doubtfully.
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat.
He had learned "Array Breaking Array" and "Dragon Seeking Technique" from the Wuliang Taoist.
These were from the Banshan Taoist lineage.
Yet now he had not displayed any of it.
Still, Taoist Shangyuan could somehow sense something was up.
This Taoist.
Though he appeared young.
His methods.
Were incredibly sophisticated.
Lin Feng couldn't help but be on guard inwardly.
However, he remained composed and said, "I once encountered a Taoist who gave me some guidance."
Taoist Shangyuan smiled and said, "That is your good fortune, Donor. It seems you have a connection with the Tao. May I ask if you have any intention of joining us at Dragon Tiger Mountain?"
Dragon Tiger Mountain was a Holy Land of Taoism.
Worshipping The Three Pure Ones.
That Taoist Shangyuan was actually from Dragon Tiger Mountain.
His background was indeed terrifying.
But Lin Feng had no plans to become a Taoist.
Taoists cultivate purity and few desires.
Lin Feng couldn't lead such a life.
He smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for the kind invitation, Taoist, but I have my own path."
Taoist Shangyuan seemed somewhat regretful as he shook his head.
"It's a true pleasure to meet you, Taoist Shangyuan."
At this moment, about a dozen cultivators came over, with a golden-robed young master greeting Taoist Shangyuan with a smile.
"It turns out to be Donor Jin Tianyu, what a pleasant surprise,"
Taoist Shangyuan responded with a smile.
This group of people had extraordinary backgrounds.
Especially Jin Tianyu, who was the Princely Heir of an ancient Immortal Dynasty in Cangming State, with exceptional strength.
"How may I address this young brother?" Jin Tianyu smiled as he looked towards Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng."
...
"Jin Tianyu."
"This is my junior brother Li Shangyuan, Qiu Jian, Pei Tianhong, and my junior sister Li Yu'er."
...
"A pleasure to meet you."
Lin Feng greeted them with a fist and palm salute.
The others were not as enthusiastic as Jin Tianyu; they just returned the gesture with a salute.
After a brief exchange, Lin Feng took his leave.
Taoist Shangyuan also left soon after.
Li Yu'er spoke in surprise, "Why would big brother seek to befriend that kid named Lin Feng? He seems to be just a cultivator at the Martial King Realm,"
her tone carrying disdain.
Jin Tianyu smiled and said, "I often tell you, when abroad, to show a smil3 of up to three parts. Right now, this Lin Feng may seem ordinary, but who knows if he might seize an opportunity and rise to prominence one day."
"Thank you for the teaching, big brother,"
the others quickly nodded in agreement.
They all understood Jin Tianyu's meaning.
For the following period, Lin Feng often exchanged insights on the virtues of cultivation with Taoist Shangyuan and Jin Tianyu.
This was also a form of cultivation.
Ten days later, the fleet entered a black sea.
The boundless Black Sea emitted an aura that caused people's hearts to palpitate.
"The Black Sea, this is the most dangerous place,"
many people said with grave expressions.
The Black Sea was not only a place where the Sea Clan was active.
It was said that the Nine Great Pirate Kings often appeared in the Black Sea.
Although this fleet was vast, it still proceeded with extreme caution upon reaching the Black Sea.
They could encounter the Sea Clan or the Pirate King.
It was possible for the entire fleet to be destroyed.
"Look, what's that?"
Suddenly, someone pointed towards the distant sea and cried out in horror.
