Sect Master Tongtian's goodwill swept across the East Sea like a spring breeze.
That divine thought carried none of a Saint's arrogance. Instead, it extended an equal invitation, as though he were addressing someone of the same standing.
This scene once again sent towering waves crashing through the minds of the Primordial World Great Powers whose divine senses had yet to withdraw.
Yuanshi Tianzun admitting defeat and retreating had already been enough to shatter their worldview.
And now, Sage Tongtian of the Interception Sect had actually taken the initiative to show goodwill toward this man, even addressing him as "fellow Daoist"?
This was no longer merely a matter of prestige.
This had directly shattered the ceiling of the Primordial World!
Countless Great Beings screamed inwardly as they waited for Lin Feng's response.
As long as he nodded, he would be connected to this Heavenly Dao Sage of the Interception Sect. From then on, in the Primordial World, who would dare provoke him lightly?
Yet, faced with an invitation that would have left any Quasi-Saint overwhelmed with gratitude,
Lin Feng merely stood on the island with his hands behind his back. His gaze calmly turned toward Golden Ao Island, and he cupped his hands from afar.
The motion was small, yet it seemed to carry the power of Words Manifest as Law, making the laws of the entire East Sea resonate.
Then, a clear and peaceful voice echoed unhurriedly across the four seas of the Primordial World.
"Thank you, Sect Master, for resolving this situation. When I have the time, I will certainly pay you a visit."
His voice was neither servile nor overbearing, without the slightest trace of flattery or any excitement at being favored.
His tone was as casual as though he were answering an ordinary invitation from an equal.
It was as though Sect Master Tongtian's invitation meant nothing much to him.
Boom!
It was as if a Chaos Divine Thunder had exploded in the minds of every Great Being observing this place, nearly causing their divine senses to collapse on the spot.
Madman!
This kid was absolutely insane!
That was a Heavenly Dao Sage!
A Saint had personally invited him, and this was his attitude?
"Thank you for resolving this situation"? Was that even something a person should say? Sect Master Tongtian clearly wanted to win you over and forge a good connection with you. How did it become him resolving a situation for you once it came out of your mouth?
"When I have the time, I'll pay you a visit"? Who was he brushing off? A Saint had invited him, yet he still dared say "when I have the time"? Was his air greater than a Saint's?
Inside Wuzhuang Temple, the Fly Whisk in Zhen Yuanzi's hand fell to the ground with a smack. He was completely dumbfounded.
He had lived through countless epochs. He had seen arrogant people before, but never anyone this arrogant!
This was no longer simply refusing to give a Saint face. He was treating a Saint's face like an insole, then complaining it hurt his feet after stepping on it!
In the Blood Sea, the Yuantu and Abi swords in Asura Sect Master Styx's hands buzzed madly, while the bloody light in his eyes blazed more fiercely than ever.
"Good! What an arrogant madman! I find myself appreciating you more and more!"
At the Demon Master Palace in the North Sea, Ancestor Kunpeng's expression shifted constantly, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.
He had thought this man was the backup plan of some Chaos Demon God, or that he possessed an earth-shaking background.
But now, it seemed this was not a matter of background at all.
This was absolute confidence born from the depths of his bones, from the very origin of his life! It was as though, in his eyes, even a Heavenly Dao Sage was nothing special!
How was that possible?!
On Golden Ao Island, inside Biyou Palace,
Sect Master Tongtian was also slightly taken aback. Then he laughed, the appreciation in his eyes growing even stronger.
"Interesting. Truly interesting."
Not only was he not angered, he instead felt that this young man suited his temperament perfectly.
Fearless before power and unmoved by a Saint's might—this was the bearing of a true powerhouse!
Lin Feng paid no attention at all to the commotion outside.
As the wills of the two Saints withdrew, the terrifying oppressive aura that had hung over heaven and earth finally vanished completely.
The waves rose again over the East Sea, and the sea breeze brushed against them, carrying a faint salty dampness.
It was as though that earth-shattering confrontation between Saints had been nothing more than an illusion.
Lin Feng slowly turned around and walked back onto the Three Immortal Islands.
"Young Master!"
"Master!"
Two delicate cries, trembling with tears, rang out at the same time.
The peerlessly beautiful Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao could no longer suppress the excitement and lingering fear in their hearts. Like fledgling swallows returning to their nest, they rushed toward him from either side.
Lin Feng smiled and opened his arms, allowing the two soft and fragrant bodies to crash tightly into his embrace.
The sisters' delicate bodies trembled faintly. Clearly, the fright they had just endured had yet to fully subside.
They buried their lovely faces deeply against Lin Feng's chest, greedily breathing in the scent that made them feel incomparably safe. Their beautiful eyes had long since filled with tears.
Within those tears was the relief of surviving a calamity, fear of a Saint's Heavenly Might, but even more than that, boundless worship and dependence upon the man before them.
He was too strong.
This man was so powerful that he had utterly overturned the limits of their imagination!
Before the immortals of the Sect of Elucidation, he had suppressed them with a wave of his hand.
Before a Saint's strike, he had dissolved it with a laugh.
Even when two Saints engaged in a heaven-shaking confrontation because of him, he remained calm and unruffled, treating it as nothing out of the ordinary.
Even their supreme and most revered master, Sect Master Tongtian, seemed to stand a head shorter before him.
With such a pillar supporting the heavens to cling to, what was there left for them to fear?
With soft, fragrant jade in his arms and the faint, secluded fragrance of maidens lingering around his nose, Lin Feng's heart was filled with tranquility.
He raised his hands and gently patted the sisters' smooth, delicate backs, soothing them softly beside their ears in a gentle yet firm voice.
"It's all right now. I'm here."
"Even if a Saint came in person, they would not be able to harm you in the slightest."
If those words had come from anyone else, they would have sounded like ignorant arrogance.
But spoken by Lin Feng, they carried an unquestionable magic that instantly soothed the last trace of panic in the sisters' hearts.
They believed him.
They believed him without reservation.
Because this man had already proven it through his actions, again and again.
Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao gradually calmed down in his embrace, though they still could not bear to leave that warm and solid chest.
As long as he held them like this, even if the heavens collapsed, it no longer seemed so frightening.
After a long while, Qiong Xiao suddenly seemed to remember something. She abruptly lifted her head from his embrace, her tear-streaked face filled with anxiety and worry.
"Young Master, this is bad!"
"Our eldest sister! Our eldest sister is still in secluded cultivation on the island, attempting to break through the bottleneck of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm!"
Upon hearing this, Bi Xiao's face also drained of color as she cried anxiously, "That's right! The Saint's pressure just now was so terrifying, and the entire Three Immortal Islands were shaking. Our eldest sister is at a critical juncture. If she was disturbed and lost control of her mind, she might... she might go berserk!"
The bottleneck of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm was unimaginably difficult to cross.
It was a chasm between immortals and mortals. One careless misstep could result in a shattered Dao Fruit, followed by Death and Dao Dissipation.
Countless brilliant talents had fallen at this very threshold.
Their eldest sister, Yun Xiao, possessed peerless talent. Among the three sisters, her cultivation was the deepest and her temperament the most steadfast. Even so, she had prepared for thousands of years to break through this barrier, and she was now at the most critical moment.
If she had been affected by the disturbance of that Saintly confrontation just now, the consequences would be unbearable!
Seeing how anxious the two women were, Lin Feng showed no trace of nervousness.
Instead, a confident and composed smile curved across his lips.
"A mere Grand Unity bottleneck is nothing worth mentioning."
"Come, take me to see her."
Lin Feng released the beauties in his arms, his tone as calm as though he were discussing some trivial matter.
"I'll help her break through it while I'm at it."
