Zhu Yi received the jade token over and stood up. He bowed towards everyone around him, “I am extremely grateful to everyone for travelling such a long distance over here.”
After the ceremony, Zhu Yi led the Heavenly Temple disciples as they retreated. They also went to a luminary at Lin Feng’s side.
A third light path lit up. The end of the path was filled with darkness which connected with a dim, yellowish-black path. The end of that path was a pitch-black stone bridge. Below the stone bridge, dim-yellow river water flowed quietly.
On the other side of the bridge, there was a huge pitch-black pavilion erected. When the pavilion doors opened, a white-haired youth decked in purple walked out. He walked past the Narakade Bridge and stepped onto the Road to River Styx. Then, he followed the light path and walked over.
The lower level cultivators from the other sects and powers stopped their breathing when they saw this white-haired youth appeared.
He was Lin Feng’s third Immediate Disciple, Wang Lin.
During the War of the Two Worlds, Wang Lin slayed the Cardinal Tribulations Beginning Stage Zhujian Grand Sage. As compared to the Cangming Swordmaster, Earth Dragon King, Azure Sky Dragon King and Zhanming Hades that Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao fought, the Zhujian Grand Sage was the weakest.
But unlike Xiao Yan who had the Heavenly Catastrophe, Zhu Yi who had the Higan Golden Bridge and Shi Tianhao who had the City in the Sky wreckage to help them, Wang Lin killed the Zhujian Grand Sage based on his own abilities. His amazing skills left everyone in awe.
Although Wang Lin also suffered critical injuries after fighting the Zhujian Grand Sage and had to end his participation in the War of the Two Worlds, Wang Lin’s reputation didn’t seem to be inferior than Wang Yan and the others.
Wang Lin was recognized as the most brutal and merciless among all of Lin Feng’s Immediate Disciples. Many were also terrified of him.
There were a bunch of younger disciples behind Wang Lin. Dao Yuting and Li Xingfei were not around, as they remained in the Barren Expanses.
The Forest Abode disciples behind Wang Lin were mainly third-generation disciples. The most attention-seeking of them all was a youth who had a pale complexion and seemed very quiet.
He was Li Xingfei’s disciple, Chen Fangge. He was the best among the third-generation disciples in the Forest Abode. He was also one of the best among all the third-generation disciples in the entire Celestial Sect of Wonders.
While he seemed weak, his reputation rose after he fought the demons in the Barren Expanses in the War of the Two Worlds. He became one of the talents in the younger generation that drew a lot of attention. His name had already spread and all the Nascent Soul and Aurous Core Stage cultivators in the human race knew about him.
The Forest Abode disciples followed behind Wang Lin. They all bowed towards Lin Feng as they approached him.
“Greetings, Master.”
“Greetings, Grandmaster.”
Lin Feng laughed, “Xuan Ni, I shall confer to you your honorific title today. You’ll be known as the Xuan Ni Holy Man in the records of the sect. I believe that you’ll earn your own name in the external world in the future.”
A jade token with the words “Xuan Ni” engraved onto it appeared in the sky of stars. Below the words “Xuan Ni”, the words “Holy Man” appeared. All 4 words joined together and formed the “Xuan Ni Holy Man”.
Wang Lin received the jade token over and kowtowed towards Lin Feng, “Thank you Master.”
Among all the cultivators present, a middle-aged priest with black beard and a coronet sighed at this point and said, “Luofu is extremely honored to be in front of the Xuan Ni Holy Man and the Extreme Dao Eminent.”
This middle-aged priest was an elite figure among the independent cultivators. He was an Immortal Soul Third Level cultivator, the Luofu Holy Man.
Once he spoke, everyone present turned silent.
There were many names given to Wang Lin in the Divine Lands. They included the Master of the Netherworld, Master of the Yellow Springs, and even the Netherworld Lord, Yama Prince etc.
But they were all related to the Emperor of the Dead’s lineage. Those from the Emperor of the Dead’s lineage were considered scums now and their relationship with the Celestial Sect of Wonders was also not cordial. Wang Lin had even killed many Hall of the Dead cultivators with his own hands.
Wang Lin was extremely irked by the Hall of the Dead cultivators, and had no intention of replacing the Emperor of the Dead. That’s why these names were only mentioned by others in quiet. Saying them in front of the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ cultivators was equivalent to picking a fight with the Celestial Sect of Wonders.
As for names like the Killing God or Slayer that made him sound even more ferocious, they weren’t even worth mentioning.
But a title that wasn’t very popular previously had started to become more and more popular following the War of the Two Worlds. It was the Extreme Dao Eminent.
Behind the Luofu Holy Man, everyone also said in unison, “Greetings to the Xuan Ni Holy Man and Extreme Dao Eminent.”
Wang Lin kept the jade token and stood up. He bowed towards everyone before saying, “Thank you all for gracing this ceremony.”
After he finished speaking, he led Chen Fangge and the rest to a luminary.
A fourth light path lit up in the distance. Many human figures stepped onto the path and walked over. They were led by someone with crimson-red hair that flowed, as if they were flames. This person was Lin Feng’s fourth Immediate Disciple, Yue Hongyan.
After seeing Yue Hongyan, Purple Clouds Sect cultivators stood up and bowed seriously towards her.
The bunch of cultivators behind Yue Hongyan were the Blizzard Valley disciples. Zhao Huan and the other second-generation disciples were still in the Barren Expanses. Most of the cultivators present were third-generation disciples.
As compared to Meng Honglou, Ye Xinhui, Chen Fangge and the rest, there were no special individual from this batch of Blizzard Valley disciples.
Zhao Huan was still inferior to Tang Jun, Han Yang, Zhou Yuncong, Yang Tie, Dao Yuting and other elite second-generation disciples. Everyone felt that this was a pity. Yue Hongyan was courageous and powerful, but it’s a pity that there was no one particularly outstanding under her.
Lin Feng could sense everyone’s emotions and he could not help but smiled. His gaze landed on a tall youth behind Yue Hongyan.
This youth was big and tall. He was the tallest among the Blizzard Valley disciples and was taller by everyone by at least half a head. His figure was petrifying, but he revealed a look of composure and resilience.
“Although he did not participate in the War of the Two Worlds because of his closed-door cultivation, Jin Zi will shine one day. He’s probably the one I feel has the greatest potential among the third-generation disciples.” A smile appeared on Lin Feng’s face.
The bunch of Blizzard Valley disciples followed behind Yue Hongyan. They bowed towards Lin Feng when they came before him.
“Greetings, Master.”
“Greetings, Grandmaster.”
Lin Feng pointed in void space and a jade token appeared. He followed by saying, “Xuan Lan, I shall confer onto you your honorific title. You’ll be known as the Xuan Lan Holy Man, for the records of the sect.”
Below the two words “Xuan Lan” on the jade token, the words “Holy Woman” appeared and they joined together. The words “Xuan Lan Holy Woman” were formed.
Yue Hongyan received her jade token over and kowtowed towards Lin Feng, “Thank you, Master.”
Among everyone observing the ceremony, the Thunderclouds Holy Man’s deep voice rang out, “Thunderclouds is honored to be in front of the Xuan Lan Holy Woman and the Martial Celestial Master.”
During the Antiquity Age of the Divine Lands, there was a period of time when it trended to call a female outstanding cultivator as a Celestial Master. But this tradition soon disappeared.
But the Purple Clouds Sect was formed since the Antiquity Age and they still retained some former traditions internally. One of the earliest names for Yue Hongyan, the Martial Celestial Master, was created by the Purple Clouds Sect.
Yue Hongyan hadn’t form the Immortal Soul then. Even though she had form the Immortal Soul now, her cultivation right now still rendered her undeserved to be called a Celestial Master.
But everyone including the Thunderclouds Holy Man continued to say, “Greetings to the Xuan Lan Holy Woman and Martial Celestial Master.”
No one doubted the abilities and potential that Yue Hongyan displayed. As long as she didn’t perish, her achievements were bound to be greater in the future.
“Comrades, you overestimate me.” Yue Hongyan kept her token and stood up. After she bowed towards everyone, she led her Blizzard Valley disciples and retreated to Lin Feng’s side where a luminary was.
At this point, the fifth light path had lit up too. But there was only one person on this light path.
Yang Qing walked alone on the light path, but he remained calm. He didn’t seem to mind that he had no one with him.
No one from the crowd dared to underestimate him either or the Nirvana World.
Yang Qing only had one disciple, the most outstanding figure among the second-generation disciples, Zhou Yuncong. He was now in the Barren Expanses. In the War of the Two Worlds, he killed many demons and displayed a merciless killing attitude. He was the best among the second-generation disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.
During the Spiritual Conference of the Kunlun Mountains, many mocked Yang Qing for being too ordinary and would one day be surpassed by Zhou Yuncong who started to gain fame then.
It’s not rare to see a disciple outshining his master in the Divine Lands. But Yang Qing’s situation seemed very ironic given Lin Feng’s outstanding disciples.
But no one dared to mention this anymore.
During the War of the Two Worlds, Yang Qing’s abilities even left Gu Yuankai in awe. He was the strongest under Lin Feng apart from the Four Heroes of the Celestial Sect. He was indeed shocking.
Yang Qing remained calm. His emotions didn’t change at any point in time, regardless whether it was in the past when others mocked him or in the present when everyone was in awe of him. He didn’t care about the opinions of others.
Lin Feng was also very composed and he smiled as Yang Qing approached him alone.
Yang Qing bowed to Lin Feng, “Greetings Master.”
Lin Feng laughed, “Xuan Ming, your honorific title shall be the Xuan Ming Holy Man from today onwards. It’ll be for the records of the sect.”
The words “Xuan Ming” appeared on a jade token and the words “Holy Man” were added below it. They combined together to form the words “Xuan Ming Holy Man”.
Yang Qing received the jade token over and kowtowed towards Lin Feng, “Thank you, Master.”
After the Emperor of the Dead was defeated by Lin Feng’s sword, the Gu Family also joined the counterattack against the Barren Expanses. Gu Jun and Gu Yuankai then came to the Mount Kunlun to observe the ceremony.
Gu Jun looked at Yang Qing in awe. Beside him, Gu Yuankai opened his mouth and said, “It’s my honor to be in front of the Xuan Ming Holy Man and the Yin Yang Holy Priest.”
