Lin Clan Main Hall, Lin Clan
Lin Clan Main Hall was a very spacious and heavily decorated place in the Lin Clan where all the major issues and events were discussed and any meetings were held. Currently inside the Main Hall a few figures were seen sitting, talking and laughing to themselves. On the main seat was a smiling middle aged man in yellow clothes who was currently talking to a 17 year old girl seated in front on him, he was Lin Tian, current Patriarch of Lin Clan. The 17 year old girl in front of him was dressed in pink clothes, her face was charming, she had blue eyes that contained a tinge of arrogance and disdain and her figure was devilishly mature for someone her age, she was precisely the Yu Lan who had a marriage arrangement with Lin Feng. Next to her stood an old woman who looked to be in her 80s, she had brown robes on, she was the Guardian of Yu Lan, no one knew her name, everyone called her Elder Yu. Further behind Yu Lan and Elder Yu stood a charming middle aged lady who was even more beautiful than Yu Lan, she wasn't speaking a word but was exerting a suffocating and cold atmosphere just by standing there as she looked at everyone as if they were lowly beings. Lin Tian didn't know who she was but just from her aura and how Elder Yu and Yu Lan looked at her with respect was enough for him to infer that she must be someone very important; not to mention her appearance and bearing made her seem like a fairy amongst mortals. Not to mention someone who could make people from the Yu Clan act like this must either be from Immortal Emperor Palace or 'that place of legends'.
At this moment a youth of 17 years of age dressed in white clothes with a sword behind his back walked in. Lin Tian started smiling even more happily as he saw this youth but Elder Yu's face turned unsightly as she saw the youth and checked his cultivation, Yu Lan's face also turned a bit ugly as the disdain in her eyes intensified while that extraordinary woman's face was unperturbed but anyone could tell she was looking down on that youth. This youth was precisely Lin Feng who came here the moment he heard Yu Lan was here.
The moment Lin Feng entered his eyes were attracted to the extraordinary middle aged woman who was standing behind Yu Lan quietly but he quickly recovered and then looked at Yu Lan before flashing a warm smile but Yu Lan just ignored him.
"Haha, you're finally here Feng, what are you doing there standing in a daze, come quickly and greet your future wife and her elders." Lin Tian laughed loudly and spoke, anyone could from his face that he was very satisfied with his daughter-in-law.
Meanwhile Elder Yu's face turned even uglier as she heard Lin Tian's words before she spoke to Yu Lan via Voice Transmission, "Young Miss the rumours about the boy were true, he's really at 10th Rank Body Tempering, looks like the Crown Prince of Li Fire Empire didn't lie to you. I think we should proceed with the what your teacher has decided, he's utter trash and not worthy of you, if he knew where you were going to and what your talent is he would probably be on cloud nine, this frog trying to eat swan meat." Elder Yu's eyes flashed a disgusted look as she looked at Lin Feng.
"Yes, let's proceed with what Master decided, Elder Yu are you sure if things get out of hand you can suppress Lin Tian? I don't want teacher to take action. What's more I don't want to spend another moment here and waste my time." Replied Yu Lan in a cold and emotionless voice.
"What happened Lan'er? Why aren't you saying anything? And Feng is also here now, you said you had something to talk about…?" Asked Lin Tian as he was visibly confused.
"Senior Lin, this time I have come here to talk to you about some important matters, let me first introduce my Master…" Said Yu Lan as she pointed towards the extraordinary woman and continued, "… she is the Master I've worshipped, her name is Yue Meiqi. The reason I came here is also because of her…" Yu Lan paused for a bit as she looked at Lin father son pair as she continued, "…I worshipped her an year ago and at that time when she found out that I had a marriage arrangement she was dissatisfied and asked me to break the arrangement as she didn't want me to get distracted from my path of cultivation, but because of the promise and my own honour I couldn't agree to it so she acquiesced and made a condition that if my husband was of the same cultivation realm as me she wouldn't object to the marriage. The reason we came here was obviously for my Master to check on my future husband if he was at the same cultivation realm as me or closer, but forget about Late Foundation Establishment, he's not even at Qi Refining yet… … … so my Master has decided that this marriage contract should not move forward as planned. For what we are doing we are going to compens—" Yu Lan couldn't continue as she was interrupted by Lin Tian's angry shout.
"WHAT?! So you're here to break off the marriage contract? Your Yu Family promised us a single request but now you cannot even fulfill that. And what kind of ridiculous reasons are those? I cannot believe this!!! Even if the contract is going to be broken it will be us of the Lin Clan breaking it, GET OUT, ALL OF YOU GET OUT!!" Lin Tian roared in anger.
Lin Feng on the side was also shocked before he also shouted in anger, "YOU SLUT!!! HOW DARE YOU!? DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU'RE ALL THAT? I NEVER SAID A WORD ABOUT THAT ARROGANCE OF YOURS BUT YOU TREAT ME LIKE THIS!!? IF MY GRANDFATHER KNEW HE WOULD HAVE KILLED YOUR ANCESTOR HIMSELF!!! GET OUT YOU SLUT! AS FOR COMPENSATION WE DON'T NEED YOUR DIRTY RESOURCES. IN 5 YEARS… NO IN 3 YEARS I WILL COME TO YOUR YU FAMILY AND PAY THIS HUMILIATION BACK!!!"
Yu Lan and Elder Yu's faces turned cold as they heard Lin father and son pair's words.
"Hmph, you little trash, how dare you say that, let me teach you a lesson you'll never forget." Elder Yu snorted and released the aura from her Mid Manifestation Realm Aura which brought both Lin father-son pair to their knees. Lin Tian was somewhat okay with his cultivation base of Nascent Soul Realm but the Body Tempering Realm Lin Feng was completely and utterly suppressed and looked like he was suffocating.
Lin Feng current had a hideous expression on his face as he nails were embedded into him palms and blood was trickling down his fists. The pressure was increasing every second but suddenly a chuckle was heard and all the pressure on him and his father disappeared into thin air.
Lin Feng and everyone else looked at the source of the chuckle which was Yu Lan's Master, Yue Meiqi. She, who had not said a word till now, suddenly opened her mouth to speak, "See Yan'er? Didn't I tell you this was going to happen? I've seen many such instances, furthermore if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have even stayed in this awful, desolate Mortal Continent. It's not just the Qi here that's too impure and thin, even the inhabitants are dirty and narrow-minded." She looked towards Lin Feng as she spoke to him in a cold and arrogant voice, "As for you, you're just a trash who cannot even refine Qi, so what gives you the right to be so prideful and shout such heavy words? You don't know anything, this is a world where strength matters the most, in front of absolute strength, no amount of authority and tricks can do anything." Lin Feng's face turned ugly as he heard Yue Meiqi's words.
"Oh? It looks like you're unconvinced, hehe… looks like I will have to broaden your horizons to help you truly understand how big the world is and just what sort of person I am. Do you know that the continent you live in is a Mortal Continent? It's the lowest place of existence where even spiritual beasts don't shit. Here the True Qi is too thin and there's hardly any Immortal Qi making it hard to cultivate and become an Immortal. I think the highest cultivation realm you know of must be Vajra Realm, but after that there is the Emperor Realm and after that, the Immortal Ascension through which you can become an Immortal Cultivator. Just the cultivation realms up to Immortal Ascension are just the Immortal Cultivation Foundation Stages. After that are the truly powerful Immortal Stages where you become a God. I, Yue Meiqi am a Heavenly Immortal and unlike this Mortal Continent, I'm from a Saint Continent, a place so vast and grand that this small place you call a Mortal Continent is just a small piece of land when compared to just my sect. My sect is considered powerful even in the Saint Continent, and Yu Lan, your ex-fiancee is precisely leaving with me to join my sect. She's soon going to surpass me and usher our sect into a new era, and just so you know, she has the Clear Water Heart Physique, which is ranked in the 2800s among the 3000 Grand Dao Physiques. She might even become a Celestial like our Founder, do you know what that means? Hahaha, you might not even know what a Celestial is… utterly ridiculous piece of trash." Yue Meiqi's face was filled with arrogance, disdain and pride and she spoke coldly as if a God overlooking mortals.
Upon hearing her words, Elder Yu and Yu Lan both had a shocked expression on their face as they knew what a Celestial was and how Yue Meiqi's face would be filled with yearning and admiration as she talked about them. They couldn't believe that Yu Lan had the potential to become a Celestial.
.
At the same time in a place far away from Lin Clan…
This was a place filled with towering trees and long stretches of mountains that made it seem like a dragon sleeping. This place was filled with roars of Demonic Beasts and Monsters and the deeper one went the more dangerous it became as the strength and concentration of the beasts kept increasing but if one looked closely they could see that the Core Area of this place was completely flattened as if there never was anything there in the first place. It looked like someone had attacked this place that resulted in such an outcome. If the inhabitants of Five Ways Mortal Continent and Yue Meiqi were here they would probably be shocked at this sight because even the strongest Immortal Ascension Experts couldn't deal such amount of damage. Forget them, even Infant Immortals couldn't pull it off, this looked more like an attack from an Earthly Immortal. At this time many Demonic Beasts in the forest had gone silent and even the ones with no intelligence had gone silent as if they instinctively knew a terrifying existence had come knocking.
At the center of the Core Area which was now destroyed stood 4 figures in mid air. They were obviously Jun Yuxuan, Mu Ziling, Ding Huo and Zhao Wan who had been sent here via a Teleportation Formation with the help of Jun Cheng. The attacks that destroyed this area were obviously from Jun Yuxuan who was getting accustomed to the Laws of Lower Realms.
"Hmm, I get a hang of it now. Before if felt like my body had suddenly gotten a lot lighter and the sphere of my power's influence had increased but now I'm more comfortable with this feeling and can properly control it." Said Yuxuan as he waved his arm.
"This is because of the weak laws present in the Lower Realms, Young Master. Everyone from Upper Realms feels this way when they descend, it was the same for me and Ding Huo when we came down for the first time in the past." Said Zhao Wan respectfully with a smile on her face.
"Yes, not to mention Young Master is truly amazing for being able to control his powers so easily and efficiently. Many cultivators from Upper Realms take a day or two before they are accustomed to it when they descend for the first time." Said Ding Huo on the side respectfully.
"So that means it's like a baptism? So only I'm the one that has to get accustomed to the Laws here?" asked Yuxuan in a doubtful tone.
"Yes Xuan'er, us three don't need to try and stretch our arms and legs. We're already comfortable so we will go wherever you say once you're ready." Said Mu Ziling with a kind smile on her face.
"Oh…?" Jun Yuxuan pondered for a moment before his eyes turned towards the North as his gaze deepened and he murmered, "The events of that person's turning point have started, I better go take a look so I can confirm some doubts." Before he turned towards the other three and said, "Then grandmother I'm ready, can you teleport us to 48,000 kms North-east from here?"
"48,000 kms North-east from here huh…? Isn't there a small city there Xuan'er? Why do you want to go there? Then again in this Mortal Continent a city of this size is already quite big. Well anyways let's go." Said Mu Ziling as she waved her hands and everyone disappeared.
.
Back to Lin Clan, minutes before Yu Lan announced her reason for visiting.
A ripple appeared right above Lin Clan's Main Hall as Jun Yuxuan and other 3 appeared but no one was able to detect them, even Yue Meiqi because… Author- let's all be honest, Yue Meiqi ain't shit in front of Mu Ziling.
The 4 of them looked below and the obstacles in between couldn't hinder their sight as if they were clairvoyant. They saw Yu Lan, Elder Yu, Yue Meiqi, Lin Tian and Lin Feng who had just walked in. Zhao Wan at this moment was a bit surprised as she said while looking at Yu Lan in an amused manner, "Oh? What's this haha, I cannot believe there's someone here with a Fragment of Clear Water Heart Physique hehe."
"Fragment of Clear Water Physique? What is that?" asked Jun Yuxuan who was visibly confused.
"Ah, Young Master you must not know about this since it is very rare, I'll explain it. Young Master must have heard of 3000 Grand Dao Physiques right? These Physiques are very rare, and that can be seen from the point that there can only be 1 of the same type at a single time but what Young Master doesn't know is that there are some Fruits or Special Techniques or even some Innately Born Characteristics that contain a part of the 3000 Physiques' powers, thus giving them the name 'Fragment of ABCD Physique', those that can gather up multiple Fragments can then become Pseudo-Physiques and then those Pseudo-Physiques can swallow the Original Physique Holder to complete their Pseudo-Physique to become a complete one. You could say this is the way of the 18 Universes trying to increase competition and give others a chance to change their fate. Young Master might hear that a Physique had appeared in Lower Realms but that's just them mistaking a Fragment for the Physique, because 3000 Physiques are so rare that even if the last Physique emerges and it's news is known everyone in 18 Universes fights for the chance to make that person join them. It is not that those Physiques cant appear in any Lower Realms, it's just the possibility of that is close to zero. If this girl had the actual Physique then it won't be the turn of Lower or Middle Realms to recruit her, only those Upper Realm and 18 Universes Forces would have the chance." Explained Ding Huo in a patient and easy to understand manner.
