Chapter 1228: Chapter 1228: Battle of Inscription Masters
Tianshi Immortal Mansion, a grand palace hall.
“Master Feng, allow to introduce you. This is the Great Elder Zhen Xuantong, this is the Second Elder Nie Guhong, this is the Third Elder Liu Canghai, and this is…” Su Xuan introduced them to Feng Wuchen one by one.
“Elder Zhen, Elder Nie, Elder Liu…” Feng Wuchen greeted them with cupped hands, showing great courtesy.
The Great Elder Zhen Xuantong smiled faintly and said, “I heard from the Hall Master that Master Feng is an extraordinary Inscription Master and Alchemist. After the Artifact Refining Contest, Master Feng truly surprised everyone with your brilliance.”
“Actually, I’m not really a Divine Grade Artifact Refiner. That’s just President Bai’s casual praise,” Feng Wuchen said helplessly, shaking his head.
Knowing these elderly n wouldn’t believe him anyway, Feng Wuchen chose to remain humble.
“Senior Su Xuan, your invitation couldn’t have been just for to participate in Tianshi Immortal Mansion’s recruitnt event, could it?” Feng Wuchen asked with a slight smile, taking a sip of tea as he sat down.
Su Xuan smiled faintly and replied, “I invited Master Feng here to let the disciples of Tianshi Immortal Mansion witness how a young man like you has already attained the realm of a Divine Grade Artifact Refiner. It serves to inspire their cultivation efforts. The mansion has countless disciples—it’s just one reason among many.”
“One reason?” Feng Wuchen raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, “What’s the other reason?”
Su Xuan’s expression turned serious as he replied, “The other reason is to discuss the matter of the Inscription Masters’ contest with Master Feng.”
“Inscription Masters’ contest?” Feng Wuchen paused, his eyes filled with surprise as he looked toward Su Xuan.
Su Xuan smiled faintly and responded, “Indeed. It is to represent Ling Realm in competing against Inscription Masters from other territories. In the Heavenly Realm, aside from Tianshi Immortal Mansion, there are other powerful Inscription Master forces as well.”
“Why choose ?” Feng Wuchen asked.
“With Master Feng participating, Ling Realm would naturally have no fear of losing to others. Each region must select its strongest Inscription Master for the competition. Apart from Master Feng, I can’t think of anyone else suitable,” Su Xuan said confidently, fully trusting Feng Wuchen’s abilities.
“Senior Su, your Inscription Master realm surpasses mine. Why don’t you participate? You’re in the Celestial Immortal Grade realm. Last ti during the soul power contest, you used only Innate Grade soul power. You can’t fool ,” Feng Wuchen questioned.
“I’m old now. Opportunities should be left to the younger generation,” Su Xuan said with a smile, shaking his head.
“Master Feng, the Inscription Masters’ contest is indeed for the younger generation to participate. The talented Inscription Masters from other territories are all extraordinary, and even our mansion’s young master wouldn’t dare claim absolute superiority. If it’s you, however, we have confidence in victory,” the Great Elder Zhen Xuantong added.
Feng Wuchen waved his hand and said, “The young master of Tianshi Immortal Mansion must also be a talented Inscription Master. If even he isn’t guaranteed to dominate, how could I be? Elder Zhen is overestimating . I’m only at the Heavenly Grade Inscription Master level.”
“Master Feng is modest,” the Second Elder Nie Guhong said with a laugh, stroking his pristine white beard.
Though Feng Wuchen was still young—the age for arrogance and pride—his calm and collected deanor impressed Su Xuan and the others greatly.
“Aside from the Inscription Masters’ contest, are there similar contests for Alchemists or Forging Masters?” Feng Wuchen asked.
“As for Alchemists, due to the incident involving Mr. Guigu years ago, Ling Realm’s Alchemists have long since disappeared, likely having left Ling Realm altogether. The Alchemy Dao in Ling Realm has fallen, and Forging Masters have been in decline for over ten thousand years. Currently, the most prominent professions here are Artifact Refiners and Inscription Masters,” Su Xuan said calmly.
Feng Wuchen nodded slightly and said, “I see. No wonder Alchemists and Forging Masters are so rare in Ling Realm—most people here seem to be Artifact Refiners and Inscription Masters.”
In reality, it wasn’t just rare; in Ling Realm, Feng Wuchen hadn’t encountered any Alchemists or Forging Masters at all—they were rely heard of in passing.
Years ago, Mr. Guigu betrayed them in an attempt to seize the Saint Lord position of Shengxian Village but was hunted by the Dragon God’s young master and nearly killed. Fearing the fallout, Shengxian Village’s Alchemists went into hiding and disappeared from public view.
“For this reason, Ling Realm hasn’t participated in Alchemist or Forging Master contests for many years,” Su Xuan added.
“Are there no Forging Master forces across the entire Heavenly Realm?” Feng Wuchen asked.
Su Xuan shook his head and said, “There aren’t, though many major factions have powerful Forging Masters within their ranks.”
“When is the Inscription Masters’ contest scheduled to start?” Feng Wuchen asked again.
“In two months. By then, top-tier Inscription Masters from the Heavenly Realm’s eight regions will convene in the Eternal Divine Domain to compete. The contest will be held in the Eternal Divine Domain,” Su Xuan explained.
“Eternal Divine Domain?” Feng Wuchen frowned slightly. Aside from Ling Realm and Nether Domain, he knew little about the other regions and had never traveled to them.
“Among the Heavenly Realm’s eight regions, Eternal Divine Domain is the most powerful, and Eternal Heavenly Emperor is the strongest among the eight emperors, having reached the peak of the late Heavenly Emperor stage years ago,” the Great Elder Zhen Xuantong said.
“The peak of the late Heavenly Emperor stage—the eight Heavenly Emperors are indeed formidable,” Feng Wuchen said with a furrowed brow.
The eight Heavenly Emperors under the Heavenly Sovereign were entrusted with overseeing the eight regions—a responsibility that they unquestionably earned through their strength.
“In two months, I’ll accompany Senior Su Xuan and visit the Eternal Divine Domain. It’ll be a good opportunity to broaden my horizons,” Feng Wuchen agreed.
He was curious to witness the strength of Inscription Masters from different regions and learn more about the Eternal Divine Domain.
“Excellent!” Su Xuan exclaid joyfully, his excitent evident. “With Master Feng participating, we’ll have a real chance of defeating the top Inscription Masters from every region.”
Great Elder Zhen Xuantong laughed heartily. “Exactly! Let’s show them how impressive Ling Realm truly is!”
Su Xuan’s true intent behind this was to enhance the reputation of Tianshi Immortal Mansion.
If Feng Wuchen could erge victorious and defeat the top-tier Inscription Masters, the greatest beneficiary would undoubtedly be Tianshi Immortal Mansion.
Watching Su Xuan and the others’ excitent, Feng Wuchen could only shake his head helplessly.
“By the way, Senior Su Xuan, what is the realm of Tianshi Immortal Mansion’s young master?” Feng Wuchen asked curiously.
“Innate Grade realm,” Su Xuan replied.
“Innate Grade realm—sa as the mansion’s chief disciple. Is such a formidable realm still unable to dominate the competition?” Feng Wuchen murmured in confusion.
“What’s the realm of the Heavenly Realm’s most exceptional Inscription Master?” Feng Wuchen asked again.
“The young lord of the Eternal Temple—a Celestial Immortal Grade Inscription Master. His talent is unparalleled, surpassing even his master. Additionally, his cultivation has reached the Heavenly Deity Realm, making him one of the strongest talents among the younger generation in the Heavenly Realm,” Su Xuan explained.
“Celestial Immortal Grade?” Feng Wuchen’s eyes widened in shock, then he laughed bitterly. “Senior Su Xuan, you must be joking. Such a remarkable Inscription Master—I could never match him.”
“Master Feng, don’t underestimate yourself. Your Thought-Forming Instruntation skill is unrivaled, and I believe One-Thought Pattern Formation is not out of your reach either,” Su Xuan said with a radiant smile.
“One-Thought Pattern Formation?” The ntion of this caused the faces of Elder Zhen Xuantong and the other elders to change dramatically.
