Chapter 146 Luo Li Who Wants to Cause Trouble
Sermon Peak was set up with numerous sermon squares. It was common for experts in the King Realm and Venerable Realm to preach for the disciples, answering their questions and resolving doubts, while also verifying their own Dao methods.
As for those in the Saint Realm, or even the God Fire Realm, it was a once-in-a-hundred-years encounter.
Therefore, once the news of Lin Xuan's lecture spread, almost all the disciples who could come had arrived.
This even included some elders from the Venerable Realm and Saint Realm. After all, it was a lecture by a God Fire Realm expert. If they could gain some comprehension and break through their bottleneck, it would be a great fortune.
When Bai Suying arrived, it was already a sea of people. Seeing the many elders in the square, her heart sank.
Lin Xuan was clearly not just giving a simple lecture. He obviously wanted to regain sufficient prestige and status in the Star God Palace.
If Lin Xuan succeeded, then everything Gu Qing had done before would be for nothing.
Bai Suying thought this, but there was nothing she could do. Anxiously, she found a corner and sat down cross-legged.
Luo Li, who had come to cause trouble, swept her phoenix eyes around the area. She also silently found a spot to sit down, preparing to wait for an opportunity to act.
Hum!
Lin Xuan was bathed in mysterious light, as if walking from endless time and space, with all Dharmas following him, like a deity.
He swept his gaze over the sermon square, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a faint smile.
Things were just as he had expected; many high-ranking and powerful elders with numerous disciples had come.
Basically, they were all stuck at a bottleneck for many years, unable to break through.
If he could help these people break through, it would be the grace of transmitting the Dao. The grace of transmitting the Dao was like the grace of rebirth, perhaps even greater than the grace of rebirth.
By then, he wouldn't have to worry about them not being grateful to him.
With the help of these people, he would have the capital to contend with Jiang Yu and Zhi Meng.
Lin Xuan thought smugly to himself.
Suddenly hearing a prompt from the system, Lin Xuan turned his head to look at Bai Suying, his heart filled with ecstasy.
A Seven-Star talent's Glazed Fairy Body—this was a peerless prodigy with the qualifications of an Immortal King.
And she was also a person of great fortune.
For a cultivator, the importance of fortune was self-evident.
With great fortune, heaven and earth would lend their strength, and nothing was forbidden.
As for a person without fortune, even with a Nine-Star talent, they would merely be a flash-in-the-pan prodigy.
"Are you willing to take This Seat as your master?" Lin Xuan looked at Bai Suying with a burning gaze, not even wanting to ask if she already had a master.
He believed that as long as Bai Suying wasn't a fool, she would definitely know his meaning.
"Me?"
Bai Suying looked left and right, and after confirming that Lin Xuan was speaking to her, she was momentarily bewildered.
She was Zhi Meng's disciple and Gu Qing's Dao Companion. How could Lin Xuan want to take her as a disciple?
Could it be that Lin Xuan had gone mad?
The thought flashed by, and Bai Suying quickly reacted.
She had basically never shown her face since arriving at the Star God Palace, so perhaps Lin Xuan didn't know her identity at all.
Thinking this, Bai Suying stood up and performed a disciple's salute: "I am grateful for your high regard, Elder Lin Xuan, but this disciple already has a master."
Although she wished for Lin Xuan's death, the proper etiquette still had to be observed.
A God Fire Realm expert could not be insulted.
"Who is it?" Lin Xuan's face darkened. He had made his intentions so clear, it was as if he had written "I don't mind you taking me as your master" on his face. He refused to believe Bai Suying couldn't see it.
Unless Bai Suying's master was also in the God Fire Realm, or Bai Suying didn't want to get involved with him, fearing retaliation from Gu Qing.
"My apologies!"
Bai Suying bowed and performed a salute, removing her disguise and revealing the peerless elegance of her Glazed Fairy Body without reservation.
Her body was without dust or stain, perfect and flawless. Her temperament was ethereal and transcendent, like a celestial maiden who could ascend at any moment.
When it was time to be low-key, she was low-key, but when it was time to be high-profile, Bai Suying was never ambiguous.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, how could she lose her dignity?
"Bai Suying..."
Luo Li couldn't help but clench her fists. She had not forgotten how she had humiliatingly called Bai Suying "Empress Mother" for over a decade.
The humiliation of living cautiously and humbly to survive in the Divine Phoenix Empire surfaced in her mind one by one.
Luo Li deeply regretted it. If she had known Bai Suying's skill at seducing men was so formidable, she should have killed her back then.
But it was too late for any of that now.
"Li'er..."
Bai Suying gave her a slight smile, like a celestial flower blooming, beautiful and transcendent.
"I did not harm your Imperial Consort Mother back then. The Divine Phoenix Empire is already gone. Why must you still cling to the past?" she sent via voice transmission.
"Hmph." Luo Li snorted coldly and turned her face away.
Of course she knew Bai Suying had not harmed her Imperial Consort Mother. However, whenever she thought of her mother's tragic death and her entire clan being executed, she wanted to kill everyone from the Divine Phoenix Empire.
Seeing this, Bai Suying couldn't help but sigh and shake her head helplessly. It was all the sin committed by that dog emperor.
"So beautiful..."
Wang Fan stared blankly at the ethereal and transcendent Bai Suying. His calm heart was stirred, and he believed in love again.
The many disciples in the square were also stunningly captivated, deeply attracted by Bai Suying's ethereal and transcendent aura.
They looked at Bai Suying, then at Luo Li, wishing they had a few more pairs of eyes.
"Who is she? Why have I never heard of her?"
"I don't know."
"Perhaps she's a peerless goddess who just joined."
If Bai Suying had joined the Star God Palace long ago, it would be impossible for them not to have heard of her.
"You two have a grudge? If you take This Seat as your master, This Seat can transmit supreme cultivation methods to you. All kinds of peerless divine arts and secret techniques are available."
Seeing that the two were on bad terms, Lin Xuan was delighted, feeling there was a chance. He immediately sent a voice transmission to coax her.
It wasn't exactly coaxing.
After all, times were different now.
He was now a genuine Divine Fire Realm expert, not the Qi Condensation Realm expert he used to be.
"My apologies!" Bai Suying apologized again and gracefully departed into the air.
Since Luo Li was here, she was no longer needed.
If even Luo Li couldn't handle it, then her staying here would be useless. It would be better to return and tell Gu Qing this news.
"Glazed Fairy Body, you won't be able to escape..."
Watching Bai Suying's fairy-like receding back, Lin Xuan clasped his hands behind him, a smile playing on his lips.
When it came to coaxing disciples, he was a professional.
Lin Xuan was determined to have Bai Suying.
This was not only because Bai Suying possessed the Glazed Fairy Body, but also because of her fortune and her peerless, unparalleled divine beauty.
After taking in so many rough men, it was time to take in a beautiful female disciple to play with. Occasionally, he could have his beautiful disciple massage his legs and shoulders, and life would be endlessly joyful.
Thinking this, a lecherous smile appeared on Lin Xuan's lips. He swept his gaze across the entire square and silently chanted in his heart: "Dog System, use the Sermon Card..."
A sermon from a Divine Fire Realm expert involved communicating with the laws of heaven and earth, deducing the endless mysteries of the Dao's principles.
And after Lin Xuan used the Sermon Card, the effect was enhanced tenfold. It made the disciples feel as if they were immersed in an ocean of enlightenment, each one concentrating their minds to contemplate and comprehend the profound mysteries within, as if submerged in a boundless ocean of laws.
Bottlenecks that had troubled them for many years suddenly became clear. Their realms broke through, and they entered a new world.
Luo Li, who had come to cause trouble, also calmed her mind and focused her spirit, comprehending with all her heart.
In the face of an opportunity, grudges were set aside. The priority was to raise her cultivation.
But what Luo Li didn't expect was that Lin Xuan was deliberately targeting her, making it impossible for her to comprehend the profound mysteries.
Luo Li's gaze was gloomy, with a hint of disdain hidden deep in her eyes.
A dignified Divine Fire Realm expert, yet his mindset was so petty. What was the meaning of deliberately targeting a single disciple?
Lin Xuan was truly not afraid of being embarrassed.
What was the difference between acting this way and those petty, mercenary people?
It was a complete waste of such heaven-reaching cultivation.
But this was good, as it gave Luo Li a sufficient reason to cause trouble.
A mere sermon from a Divine Fire Realm expert was nice to have, but it was no big deal if she didn't get it.
"Hmph!"
A cold smile appeared on Lin Xuan's lips. He stood tall amidst the clouds, his hands behind his back. His snow-white robe fluttered without wind, giving him an air of detached transcendence.
Although Luo Li's talent was Eight-Star, better than his few disciples.
And Luo Li's lackey, Wang Fan, also had an Eight-Star talent and boundless fortune.
If he could take these two as disciples, he could absolutely become rich overnight.
But he and Zhi Meng were locked in a fight to the death.
No matter how good Luo Li and Wang Fan's talents were, he had no intention of taking them as disciples.
He would not let Luo Li and Wang Fan gain any advantage from him.
"Idiot."
Seeing Lin Xuan feel no shame, only pride, as he smugly stood there, Luo Li cursed him inwardly.
She didn't understand how such a foolish and narrow-minded person could cultivate to the Divine Fire Realm.
The heavens were truly unfair.
"Luo Li, what did you call me here for?"
Chen Hekun arrived with a group of enforcers. The moment he saw Lin Xuan, his face instantly darkened. It was extremely inauspicious.
He really didn't want to get involved in the struggle between the two of them.
But Luo Li had invoked Zhi Meng's name, forcing him to come over.
"What's going on?"
When Lin Xuan saw Chen Hekun, he couldn't figure out for a moment why Chen Hekun had come here.
This was his sermon ground. Could it be that Chen Hekun was here to cause trouble?
Thinking of this possibility, a cold smile appeared on Lin Xuan's lips.
Giving a sermon to disciples was an important tradition of the Star God Palace, sacred and inviolable. He wanted to see what kind of tricks Luo Li and Chen Hekun were up to.
"Luo Li pays her respects to Elder Chen."
Luo Li respectfully performed a disciple's salute.
