After finishing breakfast, Lin Chen went to the great hall.
The sermon was an essential part of this exchange eting.
"Over here, Brother Lin Chen." Sister Qiu Xiang had already reserved a spot for Lin Chen.
Shortly after, as the bell echoed, three figures gracefully appeared at the other end of the great hall.
Seeing these three people, everyone was shocked.
"Oh my gosh, it's those three monstrosities!"
These three were top-notch experts in the Immortal Realm.
The Ice Spirit Fairy, who was Shangguan Wan'er's master, possessed power at the peak of the Immortal Emperor level.
Next to the Ice Spirit Fairy was an elder whose strength was equally formidable: the Tianji Daoist Priest from Misty Peak and Master Wan Jian from Sword Spirit Mountain.
This lineup was undeniably powerful.
Though the trio didn't emanate any formidable aura, as soon as they sat down, powerful waves surged, astounding everyone present.
However, Lin Chen also understood that if the trio released their aura, most of the disciples sitting below would be unable to bear it.
The Tianji Daoist Priest, with silver hair and a serene face, emitted a sharp glint from his murky old eyes, sitting to the Ice Spirit Fairy's left.
On the Ice Spirit Fairy's right sat Master Wan Jian, clad in a white robe, with a treasured sword strapped to his back.
Though the sword was sheathed, its aura was extrely impressive.
Qiu Xiang quietly introduced, "It's better not to provoke Master Wan Jian. That old man has quite a temper, resorting to beating people up at the drop of a hat, even juniors aren't spared."
"Oh!"
Seeing the kind and amiable old gentleman, Lin Chen finally realized it was all just a facade!
The three sat down, and as their gaze fell upon the disciples, they were montarily stunned.
They could clearly sense the strength of all the disciples, but only the young man before them had no discernable aura; none of the trio's cultivation levels could sense his power.
The three exchanged glances, secretly astonished.
Unexpectedly, this young fellow was so formidable.
What does it an if they couldn't gauge his strength?
It ant the young fellow's strength was comparable to theirs.
"Young fellow, what's your na and where are you from?" the Ice Spirit Fairy asked curiously.
"Fairy, I'm Lin Chen, from the Immortal City," Lin Chen replied calmly.
"You are Lin Chen?" the Ice Spirit Fairy was taken aback, but then nodded.
The other two also focused their gaze on Lin Chen.
In recent days, Lin Chen had been a prominent figure in the Immortal Realm, polarizing opinions about him.
On one side, led by the Ice Spirit Fairy, there was a hope for Lin Chen to maintain order in the Immortal Realm.
This led to the invitation for Lin Chen to Jade Maiden Peak.
On the other side, represented by Yuan Temple, the stance was to rcilessly dispose of those disturbing the Immortal Realm's order.
This ti, the trio, seeing Lin Chen up close, realized he was indeed extraordinary.
The surrounding disciples were shocked that the three top experts of the Immortal Realm were focusing on Lin Chen.
It was known that these three were highly esteed individuals.
At this mont, a girl slowly approached from the stone steps.
"Master, I had an epiphany during cultivation, hence my delay," Shangguan Wan'er greeted.
"You've had an epiphany?" The Ice Spirit Fairy's face lit up with joy.
Shangguan Wan'er nodded, "Yes, the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra has reached the eighth level of enlightennt."
"What?" Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra was one of the most challenging cultivation techniques in the Immortal Realm.
Even the Ice Spirit Fairy had rely reached the eighth level of enlightennt.
Yet Shangguan Wan'er, barely in her twenties, had already achieved such competence.
Consider that at the sa age, the Ice Spirit Fairy had only reached the third level.
At this mont, Shangguan Wan'er unintentionally glanced at Lin Chen.
Since being entwined with Lin Chen in the cave, she worried it might hinder her cultivation of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.
As involvent with a man was the greatest taboo in cultivating the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.
Returning to Jade Maiden Peak, she was prepared to resign her title as Saintess.
But upon attempting cultivation again, she discovered she wasn't hindered. Instead, progress was smoother, advancing rapidly.
The reasons behind this bewildered even her.
Hearing of Shangguan Wan'er's advancent in the Jade Maiden ntal thod, both the Tianji Daoist Priest and Master Wan Jian offered congratulations.
Qiu Xiang gestured for Shangguan Wan'er to join them, intentionally or not, positioning her next to Lin Chen.
Witnessing this, many felt envious; to sit beside Shangguan Wan'er was a trendous fortune. Due to the crowd, Lin Chen and Shangguan Wan'er were almost elbow to elbow.
However, many looked at Lin Chen with amusent.
Especially since the Ice Spirit Fairy abhorred any man getting close to Shangguan Wan'er.
Now with Lin Chen and Shangguan Wan'er nearly touching, any man would be tempted; if the Ice Spirit Fairy noticed anything amiss, Lin Chen's fate would be sealed.
Indeed, seeing Shangguan Wan'er sitting beside Lin Chen, the Ice Spirit Fairy's gaze turned slightly cold.
But given the public nature of the occasion, she couldn't voice her discontent despite her internal dissatisfaction.
After all, Lin Chen wasn't the one who had chosen to sit by Shangguan Wan'er; it was Shangguan Wan'er who had sat next to him.
Shangguan Wan'er truly found herself in an innocent predicant; everywhere was full except the spot Qiu Xiang reserved for her, leaving her with no choice but to sit there.
Sitting beside Lin Chen, Shangguan Wan'er's arm occasionally brushed against his.
It caused her heart to race.
Especially recalling scenes from the cave, Shangguan Wan'er's face blushed.
Since seeing Lin Chen, Shangguan Wan'er struggled to maintain composure.
Her mind was filled with thoughts of Lin Chen.
Yet sohow, after seeing Lin Chen earlier and returning to cultivation...
Despite her turmoil, thoughts of Lin Chen dominated her mind, but unexpectedly, she overca the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra's hurdle.
Shangguan Wan'er very much wanted to greet Lin Chen, but with her master present, she had no choice but to feign ignorance.
At that mont, suddenly, a transmitted ssage entered her ear.
"Wan'er, long ti no see, are you well?"
Hearing this transmission, Shangguan Wan'er trembled internally.
She instinctively glanced at her master.
Transmissions relied on True Qi, and the Ice Spirit Fairy was a pinnacle Immortal Emperor; if Lin Chen's power significantly lagged, the transmission could be intercepted by her master.
Moreover, Shangguan Wan'er already felt that with her and Lin Chen seated together, the Ice Spirit Fairy's focus was on them.
This guy, transmitting a ssage at this mont, wasn't he asking for trouble?
Yet as her gaze turned to her master, she was stupefied.
For the Ice Spirit Fairy seed unaware of Lin Chen's transmitted ssage.
How could this be!
Suddenly, her heart tightened, looking at Lin Chen in bewildernt.
Could it be this guy's power had grown so formidable?
