Three-Layer Sword Intent!

Even Elder Zhu, a Venerable Realm expert, was somewhat startled.

Xu Jun had comprehended a single layer of Sword Intent, and that alone had given him formidable strength that was difficult to overcome among those of the same realm.

Yet Lin Feng had actually comprehended Three-Layer Sword Intent!

No wonder so many of Xu Jun's methods had been unable to harm Lin Feng.

The gap between the two mainly lay in their comprehension of the sword path!

After some thought.

Elder Zhu's voice gradually rose. "Your talent is exceptional. You comprehended Three-Layer Sword Intent before even reaching the Sea of Reincarnation Realm. Your talent in the sword path is peerless; keeping you in the outer sect would be an injustice."

"Therefore, you may skip the outer sect and enter the inner sect directly!"

Though Elder Zhu did not speak loudly, his words spread across the entire venue, allowing everyone to hear them clearly.

Many people's eyes instantly turned red with envy.

Entering the outer sect of the Limitless Sacred Land was a lifelong dream, something people pursued for their entire lives. If they failed to enter, some would even die consumed by gloom and regret!

And now Lin Feng was being directly admitted into the inner sect?

Who would not envy him?

Lin Feng was slightly stunned. He had not expected such a benefit.

He then nodded faintly. "Thank you, Elder!"

Elder Zhu then waved his hand, and a spatial ring fell before Lin Feng.

At that moment, Lin Feng's gaze sharpened, and even he felt a trace of desire.

Because he knew what the spatial ring contained.

Elder Zhu said, "This is the reward for taking first place in the disciple assessment. Keep it safe."

"And the Sword Tempering Pool quota is yours as well. However, the Sword Tempering Pool will only open in three days. When the time comes, I will personally take you there."

"Thank you, Elder!" Lin Feng took a deep breath and accepted the spatial ring.

At that moment, countless gazes around him turned toward him at once.

They burned with envy.

There were even Dao Condensation Realm experts among the spectators whose blood and qi stirred, as though they wished to snatch it away.

However, this was the Limitless Sacred Land. No one had the courage to do so.

Lin Feng's heart also swelled with excitement.

What it contained were three seventh-tier pills, ten seventh-tier spirit herbs, and one million Low-Grade Origin Stones!

Such incomparably abundant resources...

If they were placed in the Great Yan Dynasty where Lin Feng had once lived, they could create an entire Lineage.

"This is the grandeur of the Limitless Sacred Land. Just taking first place in an outer sect disciple assessment earns such abundant rewards! What rewards would inner sect disciples, or even core disciples, receive?"

Lin Feng's ambitions swelled bit by bit.

Inner sect disciple was far from his final destination.

"The rankings of the top ten have already been decided. Next comes the battle for the top ten thousand rankings," Elder Zhu said slowly.

Then another round of battles began.

But this no longer had anything to do with Lin Feng.

Moreover, the attention around him plummeted to the limit. Only the top ten were the focus of attention.

As for those behind them? They were like a crowd of mortals fighting each other. There was no point in watching.

Elder Zhu looked toward Lin Feng once more and said, "You are now an inner sect disciple. You may follow the elder of the Cultivation Arts Pavilion to the inner sect. He will arrange your residence."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng looked toward the elder of the Cultivation Arts Pavilion and nodded slightly. "Sorry to trouble you, Elder."

The elder of the Cultivation Arts Pavilion smiled faintly and looked Lin Feng up and down. He truly had not expected that he had previously told Lin Feng not to aim too high and to simply strive for a place in the top ten.

Who would have thought that even first place would fall into Lin Feng's hands, and without him expending much effort?

After defeating Xu Jun, he even seemed to have strength left to spare!

The elder of the Cultivation Arts Pavilion waved his hand, and surging great power enveloped Lin Feng as they sped straight toward the inner sect.

The outer sect and inner sect were as different as heaven and earth!

Inner sect disciples could freely enter and leave the outer sect, but outer sect disciples were not qualified to do so!

The two places were one in the heavens and one on the earth. Whether in the richness of origin power or the various treasures stored within the inner sect, the outer sect could not compare.

Behind him, Lin Feng could sense several gazes fixed upon him. Without turning around, he knew who they were.

They were clearly Xu Jun and the other prodigies.

Lin Feng did not care, because those he had defeated would never have a chance of catching up to him.

After entering the inner sect, Lin Feng would also have more opportunities!

He had wandered around the outer sect for so long and only obtained one golden entry. The inner sect was so vast and boundless; there should be more here. He wondered what they would be?

Rumble!

It was as though they had crossed through time and space.

Lin Feng focused his gaze and discovered that the scene before him had undergone an earth-shaking transformation.

This place was like a true immortal paradise!

Origin power was incomparably dense.

Cultivation speed was at least three times that of the outer sect.

Within the clouds high in the sky, he could even see divine dragons churning and immortal beasts roaring, forming a majestic sight.

Lin Feng's heart surged.

Then the elder of the Cultivation Arts Pavilion's voice came. "That is where you will live."

Following his gaze, Lin Feng saw a small pavilion. It was somewhat ancient, but at any rate, it was independent.

When he reached the pavilion and looked into the distance, he saw countless overlapping pavilions standing there. Every level had at least a thousand, and when he looked upward, it seemed to stretch endlessly!

The elder of the Cultivation Arts Pavilion said calmly, "You have just entered the inner sect, so your rank is low and you will live here. If your strength improves, you must try challenging your way upward. The higher you live, the more laws there are and the denser the origin power becomes. It will bring you only benefits, never harm."

Lin Feng nodded slightly.

No matter where one went, there was competition and a path to climb upward.

And Lin Feng was confident that with his current talent, climbing higher was only a matter of time.

"Alright, I still have matters to handle." The elder of the Cultivation Arts Pavilion smiled. "From now on, cultivate properly. The resources earned by first place are no small amount, so make haste and absorb them! In three days, you will also make a trip to the Sword Tempering Pool. That will be another challenge. Do not think that merely entering the Sword Tempering Pool will bring you rewards. There is no such good fortune under heaven!"

"When that time comes, I hope you will have become stronger."

After saying that, the elder of the Cultivation Arts Pavilion vanished directly.

Without a trace.

Lin Feng could not see through the methods of the strong, but his heart was filled with yearning.

But he was only at the Eighth Stage of the Blood-Shifting Realm. That was far too low; he needed to become stronger.

Lin Feng also firmly remembered the elder of the Cultivation Arts Pavilion's words.

The Sword Tempering Pool was a place of tempering. It surely had certain requirements. If his own foundation was insufficient, he likely would not be able to gain much benefit within it.

Never mind that for now.

Lin Feng entered his own pavilion. Though it was not large, it was vastly better than the dark corner where registered disciples lived!

The places where registered disciples lived were simply dog kennels—no, they were worse than dog kennels!

Now that he had changed to a place like this, it could not be called magnificent and splendid, yet it was on an entirely different level from the residences of registered disciples.

Lin Feng sat down cross-legged.

His eyes gleamed with burning light as he took out the spatial ring.

With a slight connection of his consciousness.

All the rewards inside floated into the air!

Ten black vines the size of fists floated there. These were the ten seventh-tier spirit herbs!

As well as three thumb-sized pills, with faint purple qi winding around them.
