Ye Chenfeng looked at the commotion on the stone pillar, sensing the disturbance in the sky outside the room, and imdiately withdrew his hand.
Ye Chenfeng never expected that this stone pillar was used to test the Phoenix Profound aning.
In many sects of the Tian Xuan Realm, the criteria for testing talent are different.
For the Phoenix Sect, the Phoenix Profound aning is extrely important, and this stone pillar is used to test whether a Phoenix Sect disciple might comprehend the Phoenix Profound aning in the future.
If there is a possibility to comprehend the Phoenix Profound aning, the stone pillar will emit a faint glow. Such a commotion like Ye Chenfeng’s can only be caused by soone who has truly comprehended the Phoenix Profound aning.
However, even if the stone pillar tests that there is a possibility to comprehend the Phoenix Profound aning, it is not guaranteed that this will happen in the future.
Otherwise, there would already be so people in the Phoenix Sect who have the chance to comprehend the Phoenix Profound aning, so why is there not a single person who has done it in the current Phoenix Sect?
Comprehending the Phoenix Profound aning is extrely difficult.
If he had known this stone pillar was for testing the Phoenix Profound aning, Ye Chenfeng would have refused, as he had already decided to leave. Now, having caused such a commotion, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
Yun Muling bit her lip, her beautiful eyes fixated on Ye Chenfeng. For any female disciple of the Phoenix Sect, if they could unite with soone who had comprehended the Phoenix Profound aning, their chances of understanding it would significantly increase. Of course, it wouldn’t harm Ye Chenfeng at all.
This thought suddenly sprang into Yun Muling’s mind, causing her cheeks to flush slightly, and she was startled by the notion, thinking to herself, "Yun Muling, stop thinking nonsense. You are not suitable for him. Being with him would only burden him."
After coming back to his senses, Gu Yuanxing excitedly said, "Good, good! Our Phoenix Sect finally has soone who has comprehended the Phoenix Profound aning. Young friend, wait a mont, I will go inform our two ancestors of the Phoenix Sect."
Gu Yuanxing hurriedly left the room.
Only Ye Chenfeng, Yun Muling, and Gu Qi remained in the room.
Gu Qi, who seed to have swallowed sothing foul, watched his father’s excited deanor, and fury rose within him. As the young sect master of the Phoenix Sect, he believed the Phoenix Profound aning should have been comprehended by him. Being overshadowed by so kid from the Earth Profound Realm, he found it extrely unpleasant.
Staring at Ye Chenfeng, Gu Qi shouted, "So what if you comprehended the Phoenix Profound aning? Don’t think you can rise in the Phoenix Sect. I, Gu Qi, am the young sect master of the Phoenix Sect."
Yun Muling coldly retorted, "Gu Qi, mind your attitude. What’s this ’so what’ about comprehending the Phoenix Profound aning? There isn’t a single person in the sect currently who has done so. If the Sect Master and the two ancestors are wise, they would certainly nurture Ye Chenfeng, and he will definitely beco a leading figure in the Phoenix Sect in the future."
Gu Qi’s forehead veins bulged with anger as he raged, "This kid? What right does he have to receive the sect’s nurturing? My father and the others would never do such a thing. This kid is just a bug with rely the peak strength of the fifth stage of the Creation Realm."
"Gu Qi, what are you saying?"
A furious shout suddenly echoed in the room as Gu Yuanxing returned, followed closely by two elderly individuals.
These two elders were the ancestors of the Phoenix Sect. One had a face full of wrinkles and was nad Gu Fuhai, possessing the initial stage of the Second Layer of the Earth God Realm, and he was also a senior to Gu Yuanxing and Gu Qi.
After the decline of the Phoenix Peak lineage, Gu Yuanxing’s ascendance to the position of Sect Master was not unrelated to Gu Fuhai.
The other elder, with a mole on his nose, was nad Lin Gaocheng, with the peak strength of the First Layer of the Earth God Realm.
Originally, Gu Yuanxing intended to inform these two ancestors, but he unexpectedly encountered Gu Fuhai and Lin Gaocheng midway. These two old n had also sensed the strange phenonon earlier and, knowing that soone who comprehended the Phoenix Profound aning had appeared in the Phoenix Sect, promptly ca to check.
After being rebuked by his father, Gu Qi said, "This kid is not worthy of being a disciple of our Phoenix Sect. Father, you’re not seriously going to nurture him, are you?"
Gu Yuanxing’s expression turned ugly in an instant.
"Slap!"
He directly slapped Gu Qi across the face: "Since when is it up to you to comnt on the matters of the Phoenix Sect? Apologize to this young friend imdiately, or else, from now on, you will no longer be my son."
Gu Qi could hardly believe his ears, looking at his father with extre reluctance.
anwhile, the two ancestors, Gu Fuhai and Lin Gaocheng, also nodded. Gu Fuhai said, "Gu Qi, your father is right. Apologize imdiately, or you can leave the Phoenix Sect."
Seeing the ancestors speak, Gu Qi, unwilling to leave the Phoenix Sect, could only begrudgingly say to Ye Chenfeng, "I’m sorry."
After Gu Qi apologized, Gu Yuanxing said, "It’s my fault for not teaching my son properly. Young friend, from now on, you will be a core disciple of our Phoenix Sect, and we will do our utmost to nurture you."
Gu Fuhai added, "I sensed the strange phenonon here just now. That you can comprehend the Phoenix Profound aning ans you are destined with our Phoenix Sect. Rest assured and stay in the Phoenix Sect! You will enjoy the sa treatnt as the Sect Master in the future, and we will protect your rise, allowing you to beco the Sect Master of the Phoenix Sect."
Gu Fuhai’s words were nothing but a thunderbolt to Gu Qi, who stood pale and dumbfounded on the spot.
Though Ye Chenfeng showed an expression of being flattered, his heart was heavy. After all, Gu Qi was the son of Sect Master Gu Yuanxing.
Even if the Phoenix Sect deeply valued soone who comprehended the Phoenix Profound aning like him,
under normal circumstances, Gu Yuanxing should have only demanded an apology from Gu Qi, and certainly not slapped him. This defied logic.
Furthermore, Gu Fuhai’s words about Ye Chenfeng becoming the sect master of the Phoenix Sect seed even more fantastical. Ye Chenfeng was rely soone from the Earth Profound Realm, and despite comprehending the Phoenix Profound aning, his visible strength was only the peak of the fifth stage of the Creation Realm. He was almost certain that the position of sect master would not fall to him in the future.
It seed as though Gu Yuanxing and Gu Fuhai’s actions were all for Ye Chenfeng to see?
Ye Chenfeng’s mind grew heavier, for as the saying goes, when sothing abnormal happens, there is usually sothing amiss. He sensed that sothing was hidden behind this matter.
However, on the surface, Ye Chenfeng remained calm. With his current strength, he was far from being a match for the Phoenix Sect’s ancestors and sect master. Increasingly, he felt that he had co to the wrong place in the Phoenix Sect.
Nonetheless, Yun Muling, beside him, showed a joyful smile for Ye Chenfeng.
Pretending to be flattered, Ye Chenfeng said, "I will certainly strive to cultivate in the future. Can I live on Phoenix Peak?"
Lin Gaocheng replied, "Of course, you can. Yun Muling brought you here, and you are sowhat familiar with her, so staying temporarily on Phoenix Peak should make you feel at ease. Gradually, you will beco accustod to it here, treating us as elders you can turn to whenever necessary."
"However, in five days, we plan to hold a ceremony for you. This ceremony will greatly benefit your cultivation, and we will personally co to Phoenix Peak to hold it for you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chenfeng expressed his thanks a few tis before leaving the room with Yun Muling.
However, Ye Chenfeng already had a piece of Heaven Listening Jade in his hand. After infusing it with spiritual energy, the jade was in an invisible state.
Before leaving the room, Ye Chenfeng discreetly left the Heaven Listening Jade behind.
Even strong experts of the Earth God Realm wouldn’t be able to detect this Heaven Listening Jade’s surveillance.
After Ye Chenfeng and Yun Muling left the room.
Once assured that Yun Muling and Ye Chenfeng had already left the mountain peak, Gu Yuanxing, Gu Fuhai, and Lin Gaocheng’s faces involuntarily revealed sinister smiles, with eyes burning with intensity and hidden murderous intent.
