After all, a hundred years ago, Lin Tian had already been renowned throughout the Zhao Kingdom.
He had reached the Pseudo-Core stage at an astonishingly young age....his talent had been considered nearly unparalleled.
"I always heard that a genius from the Hengyue Sect died a hundred years ago on the battlefield outside our world. I never thought he was still alive. Looks like the old rumors were wrong."
The first person to speak was an old man wearing very fine robes. His white hair was neatly combed, and he wore a beautiful crown that made him look very important.
This man was Teng Huayuan, the patriarch of the Teng family — the most powerful cultivation family in the Zhao Kingdom. He was at the early Nascent Soul stage.
The other people in the room were also Nascent Soul cultivators from the Zhao Kingdom, but most of them were thousands of years old. Compared to Lin Tian, they looked much older.
Pu Nanzi, the leader of the Xuandao Sect, just shrugged his shoulders. His eyes stayed fixed on Lin Tian, who was sitting calmly in a chair and slowly drinking tea.
Pu Nanzi had planned to take control of the Hengyue Sect, but Lin Tian's sudden return completely ruined his plan.
Lin Tian held the teacup in one hand, leaned back comfortably, and gently tapped the table with one finger. The tapping sound was soft and quiet.
His relaxed attitude made all the Nascent Soul experts frown. These were all important patriarchs from strong sects and families. Yet no one had offered them seats! This felt like a big insult.
The main hall already had True Person Huanglong sitting in the host's place, so there was no space left for these old experts. Their faces looked very unhappy.
Lin Tian noticed all their angry looks, but he didn't care. Instead, he started tapping the table a little faster.
Suddenly, every Nascent Soul cultivator in the room felt a heavy pressure in their chest. It became hard to breathe. Their faces turned red, and their eyes became bloodshot.
Pu Nanzi and the others were terrified the moment Lin Tian's finger moved faster. They even felt their Nascent Souls inside their bodies start to shake badly .... as if they might break apart any second.
They were sure: if Lin Tian kept tapping harder, their Nascent Souls would explode and they would die right there.
"What terrifying spiritual power! This young man has really reached the Nascent Soul stage… How is that possible? He's only around one hundred years old!"
Teng Huayuan was shocked. He could hardly believe that the young man in front of him already had Nascent Soul cultivation. Was this really the same genius who became famous across the Vermilion Bird Star a hundred years ago?
Ye Zizai, the sect master of the Corpse Yin Sect, was also frightened. He whispered, "This is Lin Tian ... the genius everyone talked about long ago? With this kind of strength, the whole Zhao Kingdom would be like ants in front of him."
When Lin Tian saw their fear, he slowly reduced the speed of his tapping.
The pressure on everyone became lighter, but they still felt like their Nascent Souls could break at any moment.
"We pay our respects to Senior!"
Led by Pu Nanzi, all the Nascent Soul cultivators quickly dropped to their knees and bowed their heads to the ground many times.
In their minds, Nascent Soul cultivators were already almost unbeatable. Anyone stronger than that could destroy the entire Zhao Kingdom easily.
Lin Tian calmly took another sip of tea. Then he spoke slowly:
"You all came here today just to find out my real cultivation level, right?"
Pu Nanzi was sweating heavily. He quickly answered, "Reporting to Senior, we are all cultivators from the Zhao Kingdom.
Your great name has been famous for a long time.
When we heard you returned, we came personally to congratulate you and the Hengyue Sect. We have no bad intentions at all."
The others quickly agreed, afraid that Lin Tian might kill them with one slap if he got angry.
In the cultivation world, only the strong survive. The weak must respect and please the strong if they want to live.
At that moment, Li Muwan quietly walked over and poured fresh tea for Lin Tian. She watched everything silently.
Before today, she thought Lin Tian was only at the Core Formation stage.
She never imagined he had already reached Nascent Soul ..... a level strong enough to shake the whole Vermilion Bird Star. Was this his true power all along?
