Chapter 480: Sect Master

" Since he is still going through the Test of Will, it means everyone has an equal chance to ask him to join their pavilions, it’s up to him to decide whom he wants to join..." The burly elder didn’t back down.

"That is true, Elder Cui, you mentioned that he wanted to join Mysterious Heaven Sect even before you met him, so you cannot use the excuse of you bringing him here..." A woman elder spoke with a small smile on her lips.

"Indeed, we will just ask him and let him decide his choice, just as we usually accept disciples here..." The elder with saber smiled at Cui Shuyin too.

Cui Shuyin snorted, "Tsk, I can understand your Saber Pavilion being interested in him, Elder Duan, but what about the Talisman pavilion and the Battle Pavilion, which more or less can be termed as a body refinement pavilion? Elder Han, surely you don’t want him to become a brute like you, right? Look how graceful and handsome he is..."

Han Kuang’s expression changed immediately, "What’s the point of being graceful like a woman? Given his willpower, he should become a real man..."

"Or a beast?" The one who quipped in was the elder of the Talisman Pavilion.

The burly elder snorted, "You women will never understand the desire of having this heavenly body..."

"Nor are we interested in it..." The woman looked at Cui Shuyin after that and stated calmly, "Talisman making requires more concentration and talent than even drawing arrays, Elder Cui, and willpower is necessary to achieve absolute concentration and control."

Cui Shuyin smiled while shaking her head, "Alright, alright, I got it, Elder Qin, no need to lecture me..."

Suddenly they all sensed a spiritual sense, and Cui Shuyin sighed.

"A new disciple?" A voice echoed silently before another refined-looking man appeared beside them, slightly close to Cui Shuyin.

Cui Shuyin frowned inwardly, but since this was still a respectful distance, she didn’t point it out. She knew very well that some men were trying to court her, but since they had maintained respectful boundaries, she had kept her calm always.

"Greetings, Sect Master Xiao..."

Elder Qin bowed with a smile, and the others nodded in greeting too, Cui Shuyin included.

This person was the Sect Master of the Mysterious Heaven Sect and the Head Elder of the Origin Pavilion. He might not be the strongest cultivator in the sect given the presence of the Supreme Elder, but he was definitely one of the top cultivators in the world, commanding immense presence wherever he went.

Xiao Canglan smiled and was about to reply when he saw that the disciple taking the test had just climbed to the thirty-fourth stair when he had arrived, and without stopping he was taking another step.

"Shocked?" Duan Lie smiled, "That was our first reaction too..."

Xiao Canglan’s eyes didn’t wander off from Lin Feng’s face. He was trying to see even the slightest change in his expression, but there was none, "This isn’t normal, who is he?"

"Someone who had just arrived in this world..." Cui Shuyin mentioned calmly. She didn’t mention Lin Feng being from a lower world though, they could assume whatever they wanted.

As for Lin Feng, the more she looked at him, the more her heart palpitated a little.

"Ahh... I wonder what hellish experiences he had gone through to reach such a state..." Duan Lie felt a little respect while looking at Lin Feng.

Cui Shuyin was feeling the same while sighing inwardly. Last night there was no indication from Lin Feng which showed that he had suffered immensely. She thought he was a well-cherished genius before he left his world, but now it was obvious that he had experienced something far grimmer than imagination.

Sun Xiurong’s expressionless face might not give away much, but her eyes were filled with hidden sorrow. She didn’t even know why this felt so unsettling. She also wondered if this was what it took to achieve battle sense.

"Now that’s how a man should behave in illusory pain, I really want him more and more..." Han Kuang’s eyes were shining with hidden joy.

"I heard that you had climbed sixty-two steps, Elder Han, twelve less than Elder Cui. Surely you were a man at that time, right?" Qin Ruoxuan didn’t hold back as she spoke in an amused tone.

Han Kuang’s expression changed immediately. He was embarrassed about something like that even till now, but remembering the pain he had felt at the sixty-two step was enough to completely break his will in the past.

"That was just a thing of the past, I have refined my will far more than you can imagine..."

Han Kuang’s voice was a little more suppressed than usual. The sect did have another will testing hall meant for elders, but that was a different matter altogether.

"He has reached the thirty-ninth step, let’s see what kind of reaction he will show now..." Xiao Canglan spoke with interest.

The others paid attention too. After all, once you reached the fortieth step, the flames began affecting the soul itself.

It would start slowly, but since it was pain inside the soul, the origin of your essence, even most mighty figures with immense willpower would react to it.

...

Inside the illusory reality, Lin Feng put his foot on the fortieth stair and immediately felt the change. He frowned slightly as he felt his soul getting affected. It was very mild, but since he was not even halfway done climbing, he was sure it would reach an unimaginable level at the top.

The flames had reached his waist, and the pain was noticeable, but that’s it, it wasn’t even close to the pain he felt while going through his tribulation.

...

"He just frowned slightly..."

Xiao Canglan and the other elders got slightly dumbfounded. That reaction was nowhere near something they had expected.

"Well, if he really isn’t concerned about feeling pain directly in his soul, then I have to say he is one of the bravest person I have seen till now..." Xiao chuckled in defeat because any kind of danger to the soul makes cultivators instinctively fear it. He had felt that fear too and knew that he couldn’t stay as calm as this young man.
