Thousand Mechanism Sect.
The largest sect in the Thousand Mechanism Domain, also one of the super sects of the Flame Dynasty.
Zeng Xi’s reputation is well-known throughout the entire Flame Dynasty. His most sensational feat was when he fought with an Innate Martial Artist before entering the Innate Realm and even managed to injure the Innate Martial Artist.
Below Innate, all are ants.
This is not an exaggeration. Even at the Peak of First Grade, just one step away from the Innate Realm, facing a martial artist who has just stepped into the Innate Realm would only end in disastrous defeat.
The Innate Power of Innate Martial Artists is derived from the transformation of Five Elements Energy, belonging to the majesty of heaven and earth.
Meanwhile, the energy released by Ninth-Grade Martial Artists is more of an eruption of their own Qi Blood.
How can human strength compare to the Power of Heaven and Earth?
A martial artist not yet Entering the Grade can already injure an Innate Martial Artist, which is a miracle, and Zeng Xi instantaneously became famous among the younger generation of the Flame Dynasty through this battle.
"Zeng Xi is strong because of his Divine Soul. According to rumors, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Mechanism Sect once said that Zeng Xi’s Divine Soul ranks among the top five in the history of the Thousand Mechanism Sect over the years."
Chai Daoqi narrated the collected information to Lin Chen. He himself didn’t pay much attention to Zeng Xi since they were more than ten years apart. However, for the sake of his young junior brother, he specifically inquired about Zeng Xi and became increasingly astonished.
This session’s top three of the Martial Arts Mountain is far stronger than theirs.
"Top five in history?"
Lin Chen was also shocked. The Thousand Mechanism Sect has existed for many years and has produced countless strong individuals. To be ranked in the top five in terms of Divine Soul strength among disciples of the same realm throughout the entire history of the Thousand Mechanism Sect speaks volumes about Zeng Xi’s strong Divine Soul.
"Where did you get this information?"
Du Xiaofeng glared at his disciple with annoyance, "Nonsense."
"Master, I had a friend inquire about it, and this person has some connections with the Thousand Mechanism Sect. According to my friend, the entire Thousand Mechanism Sect is spreading this news, and the Sect Leader of the Thousand Mechanism Sect has not denied it."
Upon hearing the third senior brother’s explanation, Lin Chen’s lips twitched, realizing it was hearsay.
A sheep died at the village head, and it turned into someone’s mother dying by the time the story reached the village tail.
The common flaw of everyone in this game of catching the wind and shadows is that they like to add their interpretations or exaggerate things.
Zeng Xi’s Divine Soul is indeed strong, and the disciples of the Thousand Mechanism Sect passed on the story, creating artistic embellishments to emphasize Zeng Xi’s Divine Soul strength, resulting in the rumor of being in the top five in history.
As for the Sect Leader of the Thousand Mechanism Sect not denying it, whether or not the rumor reached the Sect Leader, even if it did, he wouldn’t specifically deny it.
It’s like myself; if I really topped the Martial Arts Mountain, I’m sure various versions would emerge among the disciples of the Canglan Sect.
Being one of the top three disciples in the history of the Canglan Sect.
Elder certification, Sect Leader nodding...
Without these descriptive words, how could others be convinced?
"Zeng Xi’s Divine Soul should be considerably stronger than martial artists of the same age. Plus, the Thousand Mechanism Sect itself has various Martial Arts Techniques related to the Divine Soul. When dueling Zeng Xi on the Martial Arts Mountain, be wary of his Divine Soul attack."
Du Xiaofeng looked at Lin Chen and gave his guidance.
"Whether it’s the Divine Soul or Divine Thought, it’s not entirely undetectable, nor is it entirely unavoidable. The Innate Fire can burn Divine Thought. Externally, you can shield it with Innate Fire, and internally, protect your Divine Soul with Canglan Energy."
"Yes, disciple understands."
...
...
Ten Thousand Flames Sect.
Zhuang Lie, who had already returned to the sect, along with a few disciples and two other elders, was watching the light screen.
"See that, the power of the Flame Giant he transforms into, and the speed of those Golden Wings has improved again. If he doesn’t come to our Ten Thousand Flames Sect, it’s a waste of such talent."
Regret was written all over Zhuang Lie’s face. Before he went to the Canglan Sect to teach Lin Chen the Fire Merging Technique, Lin Chen’s manipulation of Innate Fire hadn’t reached such a refined level. It was clear that due to the Fire Merging Technique, the power of Lin Chen’s Inextinguishable Divine Face Technique had been further enhanced.
"Elder Zhuang, the Canglan Sect won’t let him go."
The elder beside him shook his head, "No sect would be willing to transfer a disciple who made it into the top three of the Martial Arts Mountain to another sect."
Placing in the top three of the Martial Arts Mountain already indicates the disciple’s potential.
No matter how generous the conditions offered by the Ten Thousand Flames Sect, the Canglan Sect wouldn’t agree.
Transferring Lin Chen to the Ten Thousand Flames Sect, should Lin Chen fail to break through to the Innate Sixth Realm, that might be fine. But once he breaks through to the Innate Sixth Realm, the Canglan Sect would be ridiculed by all other sects of the Flame Dynasty.
"I understand the Canglan Sect won’t let him go, which is why I taught Lin Chen the Fire Merging Technique. When Lin Chen seeks a breakthrough in the Inextinguishable Divine Face Technique in the future, he is bound to come to our Ten Thousand Flames Sect. Then, we can persuade Lin Chen to switch allegiance to our Ten Thousand Flames Sect."
While the Canglan Sect may not let him go, that doesn’t mean Lin Chen can’t choose to switch to the Ten Thousand Flames Sect himself.
"Without the Canglan Sect’s agreement, if Lin Chen were to switch to our Ten Thousand Flames Sect, the Canglan Sect is likely to turn against us, and Lin Chen would be hunted down by the Canglan Sect, including his other family members and relatives... Elder Zhuang, you’re oversimplifying things."
Both of the other elders shook their heads. Under any circumstances, it would be challenging for Lin Chen to join the Ten Thousand Flames Sect.
"This won’t work, and neither will that... I truly feel it’s Lin Chen’s loss if he doesn’t join our Ten Thousand Flames Sect, and it’s also a loss for our Ten Thousand Flames Sect."
Zhuang Lie felt quite helpless. The elder beside him, seeing Zhuang Lie’s expression, smiled and said, "Elder Zhuang, don’t worry. It’s not completely without opportunities."
