Chapter 218 The Real Face Of The Masses
Yuwen Shengcheng certainly wouldn’t speak these words. After all, the girls next to him were descendents of sect elders, and dreamed of marrying him. Those kinds of girls were the most troublesome; nice to look at, but forbidden to touch. Succumbing to temptation would be akin to a lifelong disaster.
In comparison, Qingyu seemed more attractive. What he liked were those cold, indifferent eyes.
"Junior sect master?" Su Li stared blankly for a moment.
"What? I didnt know there was such a position within the sect! Gongsun Yu voiced her incredulity.
Li Wudis bastard? I heard the bloodline of the Apex Branch has long been broken. Could he be an imposter?" Su Li laughed.
"I dont think hes even reached Unity. Im certain hes here to fool around, even dyeing his hair white. How shameless!" snapped Feng Chiyu.
"Youre wrong. The junior sect master is an exceptional genius with the pentabane physique of the Li Saint Clans founder. He claims to have reached the peak of spiritsource after half a years cultivation and defeated an opponent of Unity stage four. Yuwen Shengcheng cracked a smile.
"Hmph, was his opponent an old man? From what I heard, the pentabane body is the most heaven-defying physique throughout the entire history of Grand-Orient Realm. Who would believe his nonsense! With such a physique, he could be a prime disciple," added Gongsun Yu.
"You don’t really believe him, do you? Hes obviously a fool with one foot in the grave. In less than three years, the rest of the Li Saint Clan will be annihilated," sneered Feng Chiyu.
Right then, Su Li’s younger sister, Su Tao, broke through to Unity stage one. The little girl jumped up with excitement and rushed into her sister’s arms, shouting with glee. Delighted, Su Li turned to her friends, "Is the junior sect master trying to break through to Unity here? Even our Xiao Tao broke through at the fourth gate, yet the pentabane junior sect master is attempting the first gate? Shengcheng, are you sure hes a pentabane?"
Despite her young age, Su Lis gorgeous smile and seductive figure radiated a captivating air. Yuwen Shengchengs gaze was riveted on the young woman, his throat swallowing dryly.
In fact, the grandchildren of the sect elders had superior appearances, temperaments and talentthey were the creme de la creme of the Grand-Orient sect, not to mention direct disciples.
Third Uncle said to keep my options open, so I must resist. Yuwen Shengcheng reminded himself to endure the temptation of these alluring young women.
Yuwen Kaitai was his third uncle.
"Whether or not hes really a pentabane will be revealed. All we have to do is watch. The first gate? Thats where the bottom disciples of the sect cultivate," remarked Yuwen Shengcheng.
"Shengcheng, which gate did you use to break through to Unity?"
"The fifth gate. I was ten years old," Yuwen Shengcheng proudly declared.
The entire Grand-Orient Sect had taken for granted his appointment as the next prime disciple. From then on, he could catch up with his brother’s achievements. Three years from now the selection of the prime disciple would be held. With two elders in the top ten and two prime disciples from the same clan, the Grand-Orient Sect would be at their beck and call.
A pentabane? So what, he doesnt look like much. Only the Yuwen family can be considered real geniuses! Father says that Heavens Elysiums glorious days will soon come to an end. The future of the Grand-Orient Realm belongs to the Yuwen family! Grandfather will create the foundations while father and my uncles will develop new territories and take charge of Grand-Orient. Big Brother and I will shock the heavens with our might! Yuwen Shengcheng fantasized about the future.
While Yuwen Shengcheng had his head in the clouds, news of Li Tianming’s identity as junior sect master was spreading within the sect. In the blink of an eye, every Grand-Orient Sect disciple knew his identity. Since the junior sect master had remained out of the publics eye for quite some time, the disciples stared at him like he was some sort of rare beast as they engaged in idle gossip.
"The junior sect master wont be alive much longer. Hes not even at Unity!"
"Shall we bet if hell last for even a month without dying from embarrassment?"
"Not any Tom, Dick, or Harry can take the position of junior sect master. Hahaha...."
Tianmings response to those vitriolic words was to laugh it off. However, Feiling and Qingyu were gnashing their teeth in anger.
"All beings are the same, influenced by their emotions and worldly desires. In this secular world of mortals, who can escape? Mocking me makes them feel superior and good about themselves. But since they have this sense of superiority, they must prepare to taste defeat. Tianming turned to the girls.
"Tianming, stop blowing your own horn! Hurry up, or Meow Meow will fall asleep again. In his lifebound space, Ying Huo was carrying the sleepy black cat on his shoulder.
"Yes, boss!"
Unity?
Feiling returned to Tianmings body. While the outside world remained chaotic, Tianming returned to cultivating in absolute tranquility. The sarcastic, mocking gazes and haughty laughter gradually faded away. At present, there was only heaven and earth, his lifebound beasts, the Imperial Ninefold Gates, himself
And an angry Feiling.
The little chick and black cat had both cultivation techniques prepared, the Aeternal Infernal Codex and the Genesis Chaos Codex. Reaching Unity and possessing a Unity field meant there would be a better connection between the beastmaster and lifebound beasts in battle.
With a Unity field, Tianming could gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during battle, enhancing the force of his attacks and prolonging his endurance. Advancing from Spiritsource to Unity was a great leap!
"Linger, calm down," urged Tianming. Her anger was affecting his mood.
"I’m furious! Those people dont even know you. Why must they say so many unpleasant things?" argued Feiling.
She couldnt comprehend their hearts. This was a world filled with people desperately seeking superiority where he was a nobody, vulnerable to the publics disdain.
"Think of it this way; the junior sect master possesses the ancestors protection and the immense fortunes of the Li Mausoleum. To enjoy those benefits, I must shoulder the responsibility and mission that comes with my identity. If you want to get here, you must respect the historical mission and historical responsibility that this identity needs to carry. Although they don’t know me, I deserve everything. As long as I cultivate in the Grand-Orient Sect in this capacity, insults and frustrations are just burdens I have to bear. Its only fair and to be expected. But not to worry, Im fearless, Tianming righteously professed.
"Big Brother, youre amazing and so insightful. I feel as if my frustrations are all gone, replied Feiling.
"Tianming, are you done flirting? Meow Meow is starting to doze off! barked the little chick.
"Right away!"
With that, their beast veins were connected. The Aeternal Infernal Phoenix beast ki from the Infernalsource and the Genesis Chaos Thunderfield beast ki from the Thundersource began to converge and circulate. Tianming was well-acquainted with the Unity portion of these two techniques; in fact, he had made thorough preparations for his breakthrough. Everything was in place but the east wind.
And the east wind he was waiting for was the pressure of the Imperial Ninefold Gates!
During Qingyus cultivation, Tianming had observed that the oppression from the Imperial Ninefold Gates acted on the lifebound space, crushing, grinding, and stirring like a millstone till it culminated in perfect fusion. Reaching Unity required harmony and integration; the stronger the oppression, the stronger the coalescion between their spirits.
When the two were united in spirit, beastmasters and lifebound beasts shared every experience. This was the essence of Unity.
"Lets begin!"
As long as he cultivated, the pressure would descend upon him!
The three beast kis were activated as Tianming endeavored to create a Unity field with the integration of the three energies.
"Wheres there pressure?"
A while later, their faces were frozen in a look of confusion. What about the pressure from the Imperial Ninefold Gates? Was there nothing at all? There wasnt even the slightest vibration in his lifebound space.
"What’s going on? Didnt they say seven-star lifebound beasts can only cultivate at the first gate? Why isnt there any pressure?" wondered the little chick.
"I can’t, bro. Theres no oppression at all. If we continue like this, Ill fall asleep!" The black cat started yawning.
Tianming was just as baffled.
"I dont feel any pressure either. Could the gates be broken?" added Feiling.
If they continued in this manner, Meow Meow was going to fall asleep. Tianming decisively stood up.
Noticing the motionless Tianming, Qingyu asked in confusion, "Big Brother, what’s the matter?"
After all, there were countless eyes on him, waiting to witness the power of a pentabane.
"I dont feel anything," admitted Tianming.
"Why dont you try the second gate? suggested Qingyu.
Thus, Tianming moved onto the second gate under the curious gaze of the other disciples. As soon as he arrived at his destination, the eyes on him turned cold. Perhaps they thought he was showing off.
"Dont they have anything better to do?"
Tianmings heart was a tranquil lake, focused on breaking through to Unity. He was uninterested in meaningless scorn and sarcasm.
Very quickly, he discovered the same situation as the first gate.
The second gate? No pressure.
The third? Still no pressure.
When Tianming arrived at the fourth gate, Yuwen Shengcheng and the girls were still present. Apathetic gazes swept across Tianmings form.
"Junior sect master, are you here to perform monkey tricks?" asked Yuwen Shengcheng.
"Yes, and the monkey Im trying to fool is you," Tianming exclaimed.
Yuwen Shengchengs eyes narrowed dangerously. For thirteen years, no one had ever dared speak to him like this.
"How dare you! Don’t you know what Shengchengs position in the sect is?" shouted Su Li.
"And what position is that? Is he superior to the junior sect master?" Tianming retorted.
