12: Chapter 12 Poison That Never Dies

Body Sect, as the guardian Sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, is located in the heartland of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Jin Peng and Lin Feng, along with four other members of the Body Sect, finally arrived after several hours. Its mountain gate is located in a dangerous place called "Heavenly Moat".

The mountains suddenly break here, and the cliffs on both sides of the rift are like they were cut by knives and axes, showing a gloomy dark cyan color throughout.

A natural stone beam, wide enough only for two people to walk side by side, spans from one end of the rift to the other; this is the only path to the Body Sect.

"Little Friend Lin Feng, we have arrived. This is the old site of our Body Sect's mountain gate!" Jin Peng looked at Lin Feng on horseback and chuckled.

"Elder Jin, the Body Sect's mountain gate is truly hidden!"

Lin Feng sighed with emotion. Hidden in the deep mountains and old forests like this, if no one led the way, he would never find the Body Sect even if he searched for eight lifetimes...

Jin Peng laughed, "As a reclusive Sect, our Body Sect does not involve itself in the disputes of the outside world. It is peaceful here, and we won't be disturbed."

"Come, let's go in!"

After saying this, Jin Peng carried the Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion and flew across the stone beam toward the mountain stream on the other side. Lin Feng also patted the Holy Unicorn, and its pure white, holy wings spread out, moving extremely fast.

After crossing the "Heavenly Moat", a large mountain appeared in Lin Feng's field of vision from afar.

This mountain Peak was not only towering and magnificent, but the mountain terrain was also extremely steep. Looking at it, it seemed as if three sides of the mountain were standing vertically, as if cut by a knife.

Only the other side was relatively gentle, but the path was winding and tortuous, leading straight to the summit. For an ordinary person, climbing it would be truly difficult.

Jin Peng took Lin Feng and flew towards that steep mountain Peak. From a distance, it looked close, but when they actually flew, it took several minutes.

The closer he got, the more Lin Feng could feel the grandeur and towering nature of that Peak, which was even higher than the mountain Peak he had chosen when he was undergoing his Lightning Tribulation.

Clouds swirled around its waist, and only the part of the Peak below the sea of clouds could be seen. Above the sea of clouds, one could only see clearly after climbing up.

"Little Friend Lin Feng, follow me. I will take you up the mountain!" After Jin Peng finished speaking, he disappeared into the mountain range.

"Xiao Guang, let's keep up!" Lin Feng patted the Holy Unicorn and instructed.

"Okay, Master."

The Holy Unicorn nodded, its pure white wings took to the air, and it began to wind and spiral up the mountain path.

As a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, the Holy Unicorn's flying ability was not slower than some of the sky's overlords. Although its speed was slightly inferior to Elder Jin's, it was very fast compared to ordinary Titled Douluo.

Dozens of minutes later, Lin Feng flew to the top of the mountain. At this moment, Jin Peng was already waiting for him on the mountain.

After arriving at the summit, Lin Feng jumped down and walked with Elder Jin.

The ground was paved with bluestone bricks, which looked very aged. The mountain gate stood at the edge of the sea of clouds. After passing through the mountain gate and entering the Body Sect, the main entrance was the council hall.

Inside the hall, one or two Body Sect members occasionally walked by. From the aura and Soul Power fluctuations on them, Lin Feng could infer that their cultivation was not weak.

When they saw Jin Peng, they stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Elder Jin!"

Jin Peng nodded, "Is the Sect Master in the council hall right now?"

"Yes, he is."

After receiving the reply, Jin Peng signaled for them to leave, "Little Friend Lin Feng, let's go. I will take you to meet our Sect Master!"

Lin Feng nodded, reached out to touch the Holy Unicorn's head, and said softly: "Xiao Guang, wait for me here for a while. I will come to find you later!"

After speaking, he followed Jin Peng into the council hall.

The council hall was towering and majestic, built entirely of metal and bluestone, with carved beams and painted rafters, looking very magnificent.

Jin Peng led Lin Feng into the hall.

At this moment, a figure was sitting on the main seat in the hall. He was over two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thick back, and his skin was a strange dark green.

The top of his head was bald, but his face was as delicate and ruddy as a baby's. The corners of his mouth turned down, looking imposing without being angry.

Lin Feng took a closer look and instantly knew that this person was the Sect Master of the Body Sect, Sect Master Du Busi, a level 98 Super Douluo.

Seeing Jin Peng come in, Sect Master Du Busi suddenly spoke. His voice was low and hoarse, sounding like the friction of cowhide.

"Old Jin, how did the Spirit hunting operation go?"

"Sect Master, the mission was completed very smoothly. Among them, two Peak Spirit Emperors advanced to Spirit Saint, and one Spirit Saint advanced to Spirit Douluo. As for the last Spirit Douluo..."

Jin Peng glanced at Lin Feng and continued: "I originally intended to hunt a Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion on the verge of 100,000 years in the Spirit Beast mountain range as a spirit ring, but some accidents occurred during the process, which delayed the progress."

"Oh?"

Sect Master Du Busi looked at Lin Feng beside Jin Peng, a flash of interest in his eyes. Just now, when Old Jin was speaking, he deliberately glanced at the young man beside him. Obviously, this accident must have come from him.

"Tell me in detail!"

Jin Peng then recounted what happened along the way and then introduced him to Sect Master Du Busi:

"Sect Master, this is Little Friend Lin Feng. At only eleven years old, he is already a Peak Spirit Ancestor. He has subdued a Holy Unicorn as a mount and even worked together to kill the Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion in the Spirit Beast mountain range."

"Not only that, Little Friend Lin Feng also has twin spirits, and the configuration of his first Spirit is an astonishing two purples and two blacks. His talent is peerless."

"I am ashamed to say that before I could even make a move, that beast was subdued by Little Friend Lin Feng..." Jin Peng sighed with deep emotion and said slowly.

"Elder Jin, it's a partner, not a mount." Lin Feng corrected.

From the moment Xiao Guang decided to follow him, he no longer treated it as a tool for absorbing his Heavenly Tribulation, but as a partner.

"Right, a partner. It was my rudeness." Jin Peng heard this and did not feel displeased; instead, he was very happy.

After all, from his character, it could be seen that Lin Feng was a person who valued relationships very much.

You must know that the Body Sect has always been the most protective Sect. For such a righteous and loyal person, they are extremely appreciative.

After listening to this long introduction, Sect Master Du Busi's face was shocked. An eleven-year-old Peak Spirit Ancestor—wouldn't that be a quasi-Spirit King powerhouse?

twin spirits, subduing a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, two purples and two blacks...

The rewards were still stacking up!

Sect Master Du Busi's eyes were unusually brilliant, and he quickly transmitted his voice to Jin Peng: "Old Jin, what are you waiting for? Why don't you invite Little Friend Lin Feng to join our Sect?"

"Although our Sect only accepts Disciples with Body Martial Soul, it is not without precedent in history. Such a peerless Genius can absolutely be accepted as an exception!"

Jin Peng was also stunned when he heard this, then laughed dumbly. Why was the Sect Master more anxious than himself?

He also transmitted his voice to Sect Master Du Busi, "Sect Master, before I returned to the Sect, I had already issued an invitation to him."

"It's just that Little Friend Lin Feng doesn't seem to have much interest in our Body Sect. I had to promise a sky-high price in benefits to barely get him to join the Sect..."

After hearing Lin Feng's conditions, the smile on Sect Master Du Busi's face was like a chrysanthemum, and he said in a gentle tone:

"Little Friend Lin Feng, our Body Sect agrees to all of your conditions. From now on, you are a member of our Body Sect!"

"From now on, if anyone dares to bully you on the continent, just report the name of our Body Sect, and I will personally take you to get revenge."

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

Lin Feng nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly and bowed.

"Old Jin, arrange things for Little Friend Lin Feng and have a separate courtyard cleaned up for him." Sect Master Du Busi said.

Jin Peng nodded, then walked out of the council hall and sent a Body Sect deacon to clean up a room for Lin Feng near the Elder's side.

After the arrangements were made, Lin Feng followed the Body Sect deacon and left the council hall.

As things settled down, Jin Peng sat back in his original seat.

Inside the hall, neither of them spoke, just remaining silent like this...

Those who knew them both well knew very clearly that whenever such a quiet situation occurred, it meant they were deep in thought.

After a moment of silence, Sect Master Du Busi spoke first:

"Old Jin, tell me your thoughts. You brought Little Friend Lin Feng back, so you should know the specific situation better than I do."

Jin Peng was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "I also know very little about Lin Feng's situation. However, he should at least be from the Heavenly Soul Empire, because he has a younger sister studying at the Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy."

"If he were not from the Heavenly Soul Empire, he would not go to study at the Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy, and without a general status, the academy would not accept him!"

Sect Master Du Busi nodded, "My guess is the same as yours on this point. His first Spirit is the Thunder Prison Vine. Within the Heavenly Soul Empire, the one I can think of that uses thunder attributes the most superbly should be the Heavenly Dragon Gate."

"So, Sect Master suspects that Lin Feng comes from the Heavenly Dragon Gate?"

Jin Peng's expression was a bit suspicious. In fact, he had been guessing Lin Feng's background along the way, but he hadn't thought of this aspect at first.

Because although the Heavenly Dragon Gate is a thunder attribute, most of their Spirits are Thunder Tyrant Dragons, and Lin Feng's Spirit is the Thunder Prison Vine. There is no relationship between the two.

Now that he thought about it, to be able to reach the four-ring Spirit Ancestor level at such an age, with a spirit ring configuration of an astonishing two purples and two blacks, he absolutely did not believe that there was no power supporting him.

"It cannot be ruled out. How about this, you can go and ask later." Sect Master Du Busi said.

"Since he has entered our Body Sect, we are all one family. Don't let things get disharmonious later because of trivial matters."

"The Sect Master is still the most thoughtful." Jin Peng's eyes were deep as he said in a low voice.

He knew clearly in his heart that the moment he brought Lin Feng back to the Body Sect to see the Sect Master, the future Sect Master would definitely cultivate him as a priority.

After all, with the strength of an eleven-year-old quasi-Spirit King, plus twin spirits and an Ultimate Thunder attribute, the Sect Master would definitely treat him as the next Sect Master to cultivate.

Although the Sect Masters of the Body Sect in all dynasties must be held by those with a Body Martial Soul, with such an excellent seedling in front of him, who could grow into a Limit Douluo in the future with a little cultivation, who would care about this or that?

Ancestral teachings or whatever, let them go to hell. Nothing is better than a Genius...
