Chapter 497 Help! The Young Master Wants to Duel Me, But I’m Afraid if I Breathe Too Hard, His Entire Clan Will Evaporate
"You fool! Once a cultivator reaches a sufficiently high realm, maintaining youthful appearances is nothing difficult!"
"That’s right! I heard Great Teacher Gu Tianzun himself is already several million years old!"
"Impossible..."
"It’s true! His cultivation base is unfathomable!"
The crowd became increasingly excited as countless discussions erupted around them. Many people looked at Gu Tianzun with awe and reverence in their eyes.
After all, Floating Cloud City was an extremely famous cultivation city far beyond Clear Moon City. It was a place filled with true experts and monstrous geniuses.
For someone capable of becoming a great teacher there, his status was naturally extraordinary.
Some younger cultivators even began trembling from excitement.
To them, Gu Tianzun was practically a legendary figure.
Meanwhile, Gu Tianzun secretly enjoyed the reactions around him. The admiration and shock in the crowd’s eyes greatly satisfied his pride. However, when he looked back at Lin Feng...
He nearly frowned again. Lin Feng still appeared calm and indifferent. There was no shock. No awe. No fear. It honestly looked as though Lin Feng was wondering whether he had heard the wrong name.
This immediately irritated Gu Tianzun further. Did this fellow truly not know who he was? Or was he pretending?
Lin Feng rubbed his chin thoughtfully for a moment before finally speaking.
"Gu Tianzun..." he muttered. "The name sounds somewhat impressive."
The crowd instantly went silent again. Several people nearly coughed blood after hearing those words.
Somewhat impressive? That was Gu Tianzun! A legendary teacher whose students had already stepped into the Immortal Ascension Realm!
Yet Lin Feng spoke as though he were casually evaluating some random passerby on the street. Even Gu Tianzun’s eyelids twitched slightly at the response. Lin Feng then smiled faintly.
"But tell me," he continued leisurely, "what exactly does your reputation have to do with blocking my path this early in the morning?"
"I just want you to know that there are heavens beyond heavens and mountains beyond mountains. A frog at the bottom of a well can never comprehend the vastness of the sky above." Gu Tianzun spoke calmly, yet every word carried an invisible pressure that caused the surrounding people to hold their breath.
"Today, I shall teach you humility so that you may learn to respect the sacred profession of being a teacher instead of staining it with your lecherous and shameless behavior."
His purple robes fluttered lightly despite the absence of wind, making him appear like an immortal descended from the heavens.
Many of the younger cultivators nearby looked at him with admiration in their eyes. To them, Gu Tianzun truly appeared righteous and noble beyond compare. However, Lin Feng merely smiled.
To others, Gu Tianzun looked like a peerless senior lecturing an immoral junior. But Lin Feng could already read the man’s intentions like an open book. Gu Tianzun’s thoughts were laughably transparent.
The real reason he had come here had nothing to do with justice or morality. It was jealousy. Lin Feng’s name had become far too famous throughout the continent recently.
Countless sects, clans, and even ancient powers were discussing him day and night. Stories of his talents, his women, his victories, and his outrageous actions spread everywhere like wildfire.
Whether people admired him or hated him, they still spoke his name constantly. And that was exactly what Gu Tianzun could not tolerate.
For millions of years, he had enjoyed standing above the masses like a supreme existence. Everywhere he went, people worshipped him with fear and reverence.
Yet now, the younger generation spoke more about Lin Feng than about him. To Gu Tianzun, that was unacceptable. A faint sneer appeared in Lin Feng’s eyes.
’So this old monster simply wants to use me as a stepping stone to restore his prestige,’ he thought inwardly.
Lin Feng could even sense the hidden excitement inside Gu Tianzun’s heart.
The old man in a handsome man’s face wanted a public confrontation. He wanted to crush Lin Feng in front of countless witnesses and remind the continent who the true supreme expert was.
Unfortunately for him, Lin Feng was not someone easy to bully.
"So, what exactly do you want?" Lin Feng finally asked casually, folding his arms. "Do you want to fight me? Is that it?"
The crowd instantly became nervous after hearing those words.
Fight? A direct confrontation between Lin Feng and Gu Tianzun? Just imagining it made their blood boil. Gu Tianzun narrowed his eyes slightly before shaking his head with a faint smile.
"To call it a fight is too crude." His tone was calm, but the arrogance hidden within it was obvious to everyone present. "I am merely here to guide a misguided junior back onto the proper path. Young people nowadays have talent but lack discipline. If nobody corrects them, they eventually become disasters to the world."
He slowly took a step forward.
Boom.
An invisible pressure instantly descended from the sky like a collapsing mountain. The ground beneath everyone trembled violently as cracks spread across the earth.
Many weaker cultivators immediately turned pale and staggered backward in fear.
"Accept your punishment, Lin Feng," Gu Tianzun continued indifferently. "Kneel and admit your mistakes, and perhaps I may spare you further humiliation. Otherwise... you will suffer a shameful defeat at my hands before everyone here."
His voice was not loud, yet it echoed across the entire region like heavenly thunder.
Gu Tianzun stood proudly with his hands clasped behind his back, his expression filled with supreme confidence. In his eyes, victory was already decided from the very beginning.
After all, he was no ordinary cultivator. He was an ancient existence who had survived for over five million years. A monster who had stepped into the Divine Tribulation Realm long ago.
Throughout his lifetime, he had witnessed countless geniuses rise and fall. Some had once shaken the heavens with their talent, only to eventually kneel before him in despair.
To him, Lin Feng was merely another arrogant junior intoxicated by temporary fame and glory.
