Peerless Martial God

“Do those people really have an emperor as a teacher?” asked Lin Feng.

“It’s just a name. Those who really receive the emperor’s teachings are rare. It’s just a name for glory. Many, many people become imperial cultivation disciples but it’s just a way of show off. But they do receive several privileges. Besides, the stronger a cultivation emperor is, the more people will want to become their disciple.” whispered Qiong Qi.

He used to be an emperor, for him, it meant nothing, for Lin Feng it was different. For Lin Feng, those imperial cultivation disciples were really lucky. For an emperor, of course, they were just low level cultivators. Those who were particularly skilled and talented could sometimes receive a few private teachings from the emperor and those who were really strong could sometimes become direct disciples of the emperor.

“Then, it can’t be only one sect, can it?” whispered Lin Feng. Imperial cultivation disciples were bit like those high-ranking officials in the antiquity who could have their own disciples and schools. Emperors attracted lots of cultivators and many geniuses. Those sects and schools could become extremely powerful influential groups.

“Eh?” Qiong Qi glanced at Lin Feng. Lin Feng was somewhat smart. Imperial cultivation disciples represented a large group of influence with many different schools of thought.

If an emperor had a problem, all the subsequent sects would help him.

When the patriarch of the Xiao Yao Sect saw people’s expressions, he laughed and said, “If some people doubt my words, average Tian level cultivators can come and see the truth for themselves. Of course, it’s just to give it a try, the imperial cultivation disciples won’t hurt you.”

“Average Tian level cultivators.” The crowd was in a daze. Those imperial cultivation disciples had, apart from one person who had broken through to the fourth Tian Qi layer, all of them had broken through to the third and second Tian Qi layers, but the patriarch of the Xiao Yao Sect was inviting average Tian level cultivators, which meant of the fifth Tian Qi layer. It seemed like cultivators of the same level had no chance against them.

Many people were hesitating. The imperial cultivation disciples seemed extremely strong, at the same time, they wanted to see how strong they were. They were wondering what the difference between people who came from the Holy City and them was.

“I’ll give it a try.” said someone proudly while jumping up in the air.

That cultivator had broken through to the third Tian Qi layer. Did that mean that they thought that they were as strong as the imperial cultivation disciples?

“Prince Tian Li, I have also broken through to the third Tian Qi layer. Feel free to offer me your advice.” Prince Tian Lin was a member of the Godly Xiao Yao Sect and an imperial cultivation disciple, being able to fight against him was an honor.

“Alright, let’s fight.” said Prince Tian Lin. He looked both proud and calm. An ordinary cultivator of the third Tian Qi layer wanted to fight against him, but they stood no chance.

“Alright!” the cultivator’s started dancing about. He understood wind intent, level four wind intent in fact. That’s why he was so self-confident.

“How fast. Not bad. How will Prince Tian Lin react?” the challenger wasn’t bad thought the crowd.

“Bzzz!” a whirlwind appeared behind Prince Tian Lin which contained an oppressive strength.

“Boom!”

An explosion sounded and a silhouette flew away. Their clothes were torn apart and the wind was following him.

“You’re way too weak!” said Prince Tian Lin mockingly. His wind disappeared and his opponent’s wind disappeared.

“What kind of soul is that?” Many people were surprised. They understood that there was never a weak soul, only a weak cultivator.

Prince Tian Lin glanced at the crowd proudly. He was an imperial cultivation disciple and proud of it. He despised all the cultivators of the Tian Qi layer in the crowd and even some Zun cultivators. Prince Tian Lin was fearless and self-confident.

“Hehe.” The patriarch of the Xiao Yao Sect was satisfied and smiled. He looked at the crowd and said, “Does anyone else want to try? The best would be for the challenger to have broken, at least, through the fifth Tian Qi layer. Some other geniuses haven’t fought yet.”

The patriarch of the Xiao Yao Sect really wanted average Tian level challengers. Low Tian level cultivators had no chance.

“Alright, I’ll try.” said someone else. His fire Qi was terrifying.

That person had broken through to the fifth Tian Qi layer.

“Fifth Tian Qi layer, he should be able to compete against an imperial cultivation disciple.” thought the crowd.

The young man stepped onto the stage and looked at someone who had long black hair. His robe was particular, half was made of fire, the other half of ice. His fire was scorching, his ice was ice-cold.

“You’re also a fire cultivator so you fight.” said the the cultivator of the fifth Tian Qi layer.

The one in the black robe agreed, “Let’s fight”

“Alright.” That person jumped forwards and explosion sounded. His fire was scorching hot.

The young man was suddenly surrounded by fire. He released both fire and ice energies. His energies surprisingly became smaller and smaller and almost disappeared.

“Fire and ice fusion strength, you can’t imagine how powerful that combination is.” said the young man indifferently. His energies slowly moved towards the challenger. The energy fused together with the fire from the cultivator of the fifth Tian Qi layer as if it didn’t affect him.

“Fire alone isn’t the scariest part, fire is only terrifying when combined with ice.” said the young man. Ice reached the challenger’s body. The challenger sensed the fire and ice, and then fire, and then ice. It was difficult to react to it. His skin started to crack.

“Ah...” the fire was burning his skin. It felt like a thousand needles. The challenger gave a horrible shriek and jumped backwards. “Stop!”

Many people didn’t understand what had happened. Only the young man knew that dual intent was terrifying.

The young man looked calm. His fire and ice intent disappeared as if they were never there from the start. An ordinary cultivator of the fifth Tian Qi layer was a piece of trash in his eyes. His victory was absolutely normal.

The imperial cultivation disciples were terrifying. Cultivators of the same level couldn’t compete with them.

Lin Feng’s eyes were twinkling. Why did those people use special powers to defeat the challengers? Maybe they wanted to prove to everyone that they should be chosen to be the leader of the war.
