Chapter 909: Chapter 899: Whoever Wants to Try, Step Forward
"No, no, no!"
Dugu Cheng was scared out of his wits, shaking his head in terror, said, "Young man, I wasn’t threatening you, I was just stating the facts."
"You can be on your way now," Gu Chenfeng sneered, about to pierce Dugu Cheng’s forehead with a sword strike.
But just at this moment.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
The Star Ancient Sect Leader, Elders, and many terrifying experts suddenly appeared.
Seeing this.
Dugu Cheng was instantly overjoyed, as if seeing a lifeline.
Dugu Cheng hurriedly pleaded with the Star Ancient Sect Leader and the Elders, "Sect Leader of the Star, Elders, this person is causing trouble in your Star Ancient Sect, completely disregarding the Star Ancient Sect, quickly kill him!"
However.
Dugu Cheng did not notice that the faces of the Star Ancient Sect Leader and Elders, as well as many experts, were very grim.
Even more unnoticed was the way the Sect Leader and Elders looked at Gu Chenfeng, full of respect.
Dugu Cheng had not yet realized the gravity of the situation.
Before long.
The Star Ancient Sect Leader, Elders, and many experts respectfully knelt toward Gu Chenfeng, respectfully saying, "Welcome, Ancestor!"
The sound was uniform and loud, echoing in front of the mountain gate.
At the moment of hearing this.
Dugu Cheng was instantly petrified on the spot, mind blank, like he had been struck by lightning, standing there stunned.
"An...Ancestor?" Dugu Cheng’s voice trembled, filled with disbelief and extreme fear.
Dugu Cheng could hardly believe it, a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old junior turned out to be the ancestor of the Star Ancient Sect.
Not just Dugu Cheng, anyone would find it hard to believe.
Gu Chenfeng sheathed his Energy Sword, coldly glancing at Dugu Cheng, then turned to look at the Sect Leader and Elders of the Star Ancient Sect.
"Rise," Gu Chenfeng said lightly.
The Sect Leader and Elders then got up, their old faces filled with excitement and joy, each as if they had won a five-trillion-dollar jackpot.
The Sect Leader of the Star was exceedingly excited, "Ancestor, this disciple has finally awaited your return!"
"Ten thousand years! A full ten thousand years! The Ancestor has finally returned!" The Elders and Guardians wept tears of joy, tears streaming down their old faces.
"What? Ten...ten thousand years..." Dugu Cheng’s eyes widened, stunned once again.
Looking at the familiar faces, Gu Chenfeng smiled happily, "Zhu Qing, Bai Ming, your powers have improved a lot, you’ve both stepped into the Demigod Realm."
Suppressing his ecstasy, Zhu Qing respectfully cupped his fists, "It’s thanks to the Ancestor’s help that I could step into the Demigod Realm."
Bai Ming followed respectfully, "Without the Ancestor, we would never have stepped into the Demigod Realm."
At this moment.
Elder Mi Yuan’s fierce eyes swept toward Dugu Cheng, coldly questioning, "Dugu Cheng, did you offend the Ancestor?"
At the moment of hearing this.
The terrified and dazed Dugu Cheng was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, kneeling and begging in fear, "Ancestor, spare me, I was blind to your greatness and offended the Ancestor, I beg the Ancestor to spare my life."
Gu Chenfeng looked at him, expressionless, "Today’s incident will be spared, but if it happens again, the Purple Cloud Immortal Sect won’t have a foothold in the Divine Realm."
"Yes, yes, yes! I understand! Thank you, Ancestor! Thank you, Ancestor!" Dugu Cheng felt like he had received a great pardon, scrambling to leave.
"Wait!" Gu Chenfeng spoke coldly.
Dugu Cheng was again scared out of his mind, looking at Gu Chenfeng in terror, thinking he had changed his mind.
Gu Chenfeng said coldly, "Immediately send someone to check on Tang Yuyan in the Divine Realm, she is from the Tang Family in Immortal Cloud City, I’ll give you half an hour."
"Yes! Ancestor! I’ll immediately take people to check!" Dugu Cheng respectfully replied, feeling utterly relieved, and quickly fled the Star Ancient Sect.
After Dugu Cheng’s fearful escape.
Sect Leader Zhu Qing hurriedly made a respectful inviting gesture, saying, "Ancestor! Please come inside! The disciple has already prepared a banquet for the Ancestor!"
While walking into the mountain gate, Gu Chenfeng asked with a slight smile, "Mi Yuan, how is Ice Phoenix and the others’ cultivation going?"
Mi Yuan respectfully answered, "Ancestor, Ice Phoenix and the others are diligently cultivating, not daring to slack off even a bit. With the help of the Star Tower, Elixir, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, their cultivation has advanced rapidly, progressing by leaps and bounds."
"In just a month’s time, they’ve consecutively broken through two realms, now reaching the late Immortal King realm. The disciple plans to continue having them cultivate in the Star Tower to further break through to the Immortal Monarch Realm."
"Especially Ice Phoenix, who possesses a powerful Divine Beast Bloodline, now at the peak of the late Immortal King realm, she should be able to break through to the Immortal Monarch Realm in a few days."
"Hmm." Gu Chenfeng nodded, "Seems like it went as I predicted."
Before long.
Gu Chenfeng arrived at the Star Ancient Sect’s plaza.
Surrounding the plaza were the Star Ancient Sect’s experts and disciples.
"Welcome, Ancestor!" Many Elders and Steward Elders of the Star Ancient Sect, as well as all the disciples, shouted respectfully in unison.
The loud voice soared to the skies, resounding throughout the Star Ancient Sect.
Gu Chenfeng nodded with satisfaction, smiling happily, "All of you may rise."
"Thank you, Ancestor!" Everyone shouted again, their loud voices reaching to the heavens.
At this moment.
One disciple whispered, "I didn’t expect what the Sect Leader said to be true, but our Star Ancient Sect’s Ancestor is too young, isn’t he?"
"I think so too," another disciple whispered, "Although I don’t know what’s going on, it’s really inappropriate for someone younger than us to be the Ancestor."
"The Ancestor is so young, I don’t even know what cultivation level he is at, he probably hasn’t even broken through to the Immortal King, has he?"
"The Ancestor does look just like the portrait, too young, are the Sect Leader and Elders serious? If he truly is our sect’s Ancestor, won’t we become a laughing stock in the Divine Realm?"
The many disciples murmured quietly, filled with doubt about Gu Chenfeng as the Ancestor.
Hearing the disciples’ whispered discussions.
Zhu Qing and Elder Mi Yuan’s faces instantly turned extremely grim, their sharp eyes sweeping over the disciples, scaring them into shutting their mouths instantly.
Gu Chenfeng naturally heard the doubt among the disciples.
Gu Chenfeng flashed onto the plaza, smiling calmly, "Aren’t you all just wanting to see my strength? Anyone who wants to try, feel free to step up, even the Steward Elders of the Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable can make a move."
Gu Chenfeng intended to dispel doubts with power.
"Ancestor, let me try!" an Immortal Sovereign disciple respectfully said, then promptly burst forth with full Immortal Power, fiercely charging out.
The speed of the Immortal Sovereign disciple was astonishing, appearing before Gu Chenfeng in a few blinks, throwing a full-powered punch.
Gu Chenfeng slightly invoked Divine Power, meeting it with a single finger.
"Boom!"
The finger collided with the fist, erupting with terrifying power.
"A single finger..." The Immortal Sovereign disciple was dumbfounded.
The entire crowd of disciples was also dumbfounded.
Gu Chenfeng had blocked the full-powered strike of the late Immortal Sovereign with just one finger.
Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly, "Next."
