38 Meaning Of The Transcended (2/2)

”This Heavenly Master Sect was different; it is a major sect in the Dao Branch. Although it was also located at the Dragon-Tiger Mountain, it had nothing to do with the Zhang Family. My teacher had told me that this sect was well known for its Thunder Art of the Immortal Clouds. It was used to counter any demonic and fiendish yin-spirits. It was said that a few hundred years ago, a grandmaster descended from the mountain and banished countless nefarious occults. However, no one had heard of the sect within the recent half-century.

”Based on Master Wu's accent, I deduced that he was from the Dong Du area of the Zhong Zhou Province. The cultivators living in that area were notorious for their Ghosting Reining and Blood Bending abilities. Their hatred and fear toward the Thunder Art of the Heavenly Master Sect were ingrained in their collective memory, and therefore, Master Wu had blurted out its name when he saw the similarities.”

Master Qi said. By then, he could no longer hold back the curiosity, and so he asked:

”Where does Master Chen hail from? Who is your teacher?

”My master had told me that the only sect that had the ability to bend the natural elements such as thunder was the Heavenly Master Sect. So, are you…”

Chen Fan cracked a smile and then shook his head.

”I have been focusing on my cultivation ever since I was a child, and had learned very little about the current goings-on in the cultivation realm

”But my sect was unrelated to the Heavenly Master Sect.”

Although Chen Fan's Arcane Bulwark of Thunder was the most rudimentary spell in the realm of Immortal Cultivation, it was far ahead of the most powerful Dao Cultivation Art.

Master Qi had a lot more questions in his mind, but he had kept them to himself. He nodded and praised Chen Fan:

”Master Chen was able to achieve such a high level of attainment at such a young age. I am confident that you will become a god-like existence when you are my age.

”Compare to you and your teacher, I feel that I have wasted all the fifty-six years of my life. ”

Master Qi heaved a sigh.

To Master Qi, Chen Fan's current level of attainment was even higher than that of a Transcendent Masters. It would be difficult to find another person whose power was on par with the boy. Master Qi couldn't help but wonder how powerful Chen Fan's teacher had to be in order to produce such an incredible disciple.

Chen Fan kept his silence and didn't reply.

His teacher Cangqin the Immortal Cultivator had lived more than eight hundred and forty thousand years. He was considered old even among those Perfected Immortal who had achieved Dao Reunion Level. In the eyes of these mortals, he might as well be an Immortal God; after all, only the gods were able to swallow the sun and create matter out of nothing.

As the two conversed on the topic of cultivation, the rest of the guests simply listened, despite the fact that they understood nothing. Nonetheless, they listened quietly and didn't interrupt.

Before today's event, everyone thought the stories that involved Reining Ghosting, or Commanding Thunders were high tales. If anyone talked about such a topic in front of them, they would have thought that the speaker was a lunatic.

However, now, they believed in every word that came out from the mouth of Chen Fan and Master Qi.

”These incredible stories about gods and immortals are all real! What an eye-opener!”

A lot of the guests exclaimed in their mind.

Old Man Zhen always kept an open mind on this subject and therefore he was not as shocked by the revelation as most other guests.

Old Man Zhen chimed in and said

”Master Chen and Master Qi!

”We are so proud and fortunate to have both of you here at the Chu Zhou City. Master Chen had achieved such unthinkable attainment at a young age; no doubt he was a rare talent in the field of cultivation. Master Qi, on the other hand, was knowledgeable and highly respected for his sense of honor.”

As an experienced public speaker, Old Man Zhen knew exactly what to say to praise both masters equally without hurting the ego of either one of them.

Master Qi knew that he was not worthy of being named alongside with Master Chen, but a proud smile broke over his face nonetheless. Although he was not as powerful as Master Chen, he was more knowledgeable than the boy and was better connected.

”No kidding! Master Chen, you can summon the thunder when you are just in high school. I bet you that when you graduate from university, you would be a… a god!” Third Lord of Wei smiled ingratiatingly at Chen Fan.

”It was my honor and my niece's fortune to have you as a friend!”

Chen gave the Third Lord a sidelong glance as he was surprised by his ability in brown-nosing.

The Third Lord's words reminded the rest of the guest to pledge their loyalties and heap their praise onto Chen Fan. Soon, Chen Fan was surrounded by a dozen business magnates of the Chu Zhou City who tried to outdo each other in praising the young genius.

The bodyguards and servants looked at Chen Fan with a great measure of jealous.

He was only sixteen years old, yet he had already achieved the unthinkable. He was the very definition of a diamond in the rough

Han Yun studied Chen Fan with an expectant smile on her face. Soon, he would be hers.

After some time, Old Man Zhen spoke again.

”Master Chen, What do you think we should so with the Eight-Trigrams-Plate?”
