I, the Chaotic Being, began my path to enlightenment in a brothel!

"Could it be that the opponent has already entered the fourth level of the Spirit Sea Realm?"

This thought vanished in an instant, and Lin Feng quickly calmed down, his eyes remaining as still as a deep well.

As the disciples of the other five sects moved into the city lord's mansion one after another, the atmosphere inside became increasingly tense, with an invisible sense of gunpowder permeating the air.

That evening, Elder Qi sent a message.

"Tomorrow morning, the six sects will set off together for the Rocky Mountains, and the trial will officially begin."

"In addition, Lord Zhang is hosting a banquet tonight to bid farewell to the six prodigies."

"The sect leader had no intention of attending the banquet, but he had been troubling the city lord's mansion for days, so he had no choice but to agree out of courtesy."

"Quickly pack your belongings and prepare for the banquet."

Lin Feng and the others naturally had no objections. After tidying up a bit, they left the villa and headed towards the banquet hall in the center of the mansion.

Unbeknownst to them, several figures were quietly watching their movements from in front of another courtyard.

"Senior Brother, the lineup of the Hundred Refinements Sect this time is exactly the same as what we found out."

"All ten prodigies are present, but there is one person who requires extra caution."

A disciple of the Black Sun Sect bowed deeply and reported in a low voice.

The one whom he respectfully addressed as Senior Brother was none other than Cheng Xu, the number one prodigy of the Black Sun Sect.

Cheng Xu slightly raised his eyes and asked, "Oh? Who is it?"

"This person is named Lin Feng. He has only been in the Hundred Refinements Sect for a month, yet his performance can be described as monstrous..."

This disciple had already thoroughly investigated the backgrounds of everyone in the Hundred Refinements Sect, and immediately began to recount them in detail.

Cheng Xu frowned slightly.

He already knew the strength of the ten prodigies of the Hundred Refinements Sect.

Even if he were to face Zhang Lingfeng, he would be 70% confident of victory.

But Lin Feng, who suddenly appeared, was completely unfathomable to him.

Even though the other party was just a newly recruited disciple, it was enough to make him wary.

"Qi Cheng, take this opportunity during the banquet to test Lin Feng's combat strength."

Upon receiving Cheng Xu's instructions, the disciple named Qi Cheng immediately bowed and accepted the order, a confident smile playing on his lips.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I'm sure I can find out his true strength!"

Let's go!

Cheng Xu said no more and walked away with his hands behind his back.

The other prodigies from various sects also set off for the banquet.

Night fell, and countless stars dotted the night sky.

The central hall of the city lord's mansion was brightly lit, with alternating light and shadow.

A group of maids moved about among them, their steps hurried and their comings and goings never ceasing.

Lin Feng and his entourage gracefully arrived outside the hall and slowly walked in.

This banquet was specially arranged for the prodigies of the six sects. The sect leaders and elders of each sect also attended, but they were seated in separate private rooms and did not sit with their disciples.

"After entering the hall, everyone must remember to control your temper and refrain from causing trouble."

"If we get injured in the fight during the banquet, it would be a case of losing more than we gain and ruining the important trial."

Like a caring senior sister, Shi Bing repeatedly gave everyone instructions.

Everyone nodded in agreement and stepped into the main hall.

The hall was spacious and magnificent, brightly lit, and even with thousands of people seated inside, it did not feel crowded.

The disciples of the six sects each occupied a separate area, with clear boundaries and distinct divisions.

Zhang Lingfeng led the group to their seats, and Shi Bing deliberately chose to sit next to Lin Feng.

She raised her glass, her smile gentle: "Junior Brother Lin, let me toast you."

"Senior sister, you're too kind. I should be the one offering you the toast," Lin Feng replied calmly.

He has always adhered to the principle of "treating others with the utmost respect."

Seeing the third-ranked prodigy in the sect taking the initiative to curry favor with Lin Feng, Situ Kuang felt a surge of jealousy and couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

The other disciples of the Hundred Refinements Sect glanced around, secretly observing the disciples of other sects.

These people are all their opponents whom they will soon clash with in the secret realm.

"Among the six sects, Fenglu is the most cunning and has the most trump cards."

"Cheng Xu of the Black Sun Sect is incredibly powerful and should not be underestimated."

"And then there's the Myriad Beasts Sect, skilled in controlling spirit beasts, with unpredictable combat prowess; they'll be a formidable foe for us..."

Shi Bing shared information with Lin Feng in a low voice.

"So you are Lin Feng?"

Just then, a provocative voice suddenly rang out from the side.

Lin Feng frowned slightly and looked up.

A young man dressed in Black Sun Sect attire held a wine cup and looked down at him with a chilling gaze.

In an instant, Situ Kuang and all the other disciples of the Hundred Refinements Sect fell silent, their gazes all turning to Lin Feng and his companion.

Shi Bing slowly put down his wine glass, his face showing displeasure.

At the banquet, each clan sat in their designated area, and no one crossed the line; this was an unspoken rule.

This Black Sun Sect disciple barged into the Hundred Refinements Sect's seating area with an arrogant and rude tone, clearly a deliberate provocation.

However, adhering to the principle of not wanting to cause trouble, Shi Bing held back for the time being and did not lash out.

Li Liu scrutinized the other person for a moment, then lowered his voice and said to Lin Feng, "Brother Lin, this person is Qi Cheng from the Black Sun Sect, and his cultivation is at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment."

His own cultivation level was not high, so he usually collected information from all sides and was quite clear about the backgrounds of other sect disciples.

Lin Feng nodded slightly, looked up at Qi Cheng, and asked, "What do you want with me?"

"It's nothing serious. My senior brother has heard of your name and is quite interested in you."

Qi Cheng's lips curled into a mocking smile, his tone carrying a hint of condescension: "You, come with me to offer a toast!"

Lin Feng put down his wine glass, his expression calm.

"If your senior brother were truly sincere, he would have come to toast me personally. What's the point of sending you instead?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Cheng's expression stiffened, and his grip on the wine glass tightened suddenly.

Cheng Xu is the chief prodigy of the Black Sun Sect, and his status is noble.

Even if he were to offer a toast, it would be to Zhang Lingfeng of the Hundred Refinements Sect, or the number one prodigy of any other sect.

What merit or ability does Lin Feng possess to dare to receive a toast from Cheng Xu personally?

"What arrogance!"

Qi Cheng suddenly raised his voice, coldly mocking, "Does your Hundred Refinements Sect consider yourself superior to the other six sects?"

"A mere new disciple dares to look down on Senior Brother Cheng? He's utterly arrogant!"

Lin Feng's gaze darkened slightly.

Qi Cheng's words were clearly intended to sow discord and use the power of other sects to suppress the Hundred Refinements Sect.

As expected, the gazes of the surrounding disciples instantly turned into various amused expressions.

Meanwhile, Song Yuwei of Yunjian Manor had been looking down nonchalantly.

Just then, she looked up and glanced at Lin Feng, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she almost cried out in surprise.

"It's him..."

Song Yuwei quickly concealed the strange expression on her face by pouring the wine, and no one noticed her odd behavior.

"Qi Cheng, go back to where you came from!"

"Don't spoil my fun, understand?"

Shi Bing's face darkened; he had reached his limit of patience.

Both of them belonged to the Hundred Refinements Sect, and seeing Lin Feng being provoked in public, she would never stand idly by.

"Senior Sister Shi, of course I wouldn't dare to oppose you."

Qi Cheng wore a smile on his face, but his tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

"But this is a private matter between Lin Feng and me, nothing serious. Surely Senior Sister wouldn't want this to cause a rift between our two sects?"

At this moment, Qin Tao frowned slightly and snorted coldly, "Lin Feng, it's just a toast, what harm is there in you going with him?"

Lin Feng raised his eyes, showing no sign of backing down.

"If Senior Brother Qin wishes to offer a toast, he can do so himself. Why do he need to point fingers at me?"
