Before the appearance of the Divine Spirit Clan, the Sun and Moon Temple was one of the major forces under Emperor Tianhun.

The Hall Master of the Sun and Moon Temple was ambitious, always wanting to trample the Celestial Temple underfoot, but in Emperor Tianhun’s eyes, the Sun and Moon Temple wasn’t even worthy of carrying his shoes.

The emergence of the Divine Spirit Clan undoubtedly gave the Hall Master of the Sun and Moon Temple hope.

As the Divine Spirit Clan began annexing many powerful forces, the Sun and Moon Temple readily submitted.

However, what the Hall Master of the Sun and Moon Temple didn’t expect was that despite their submission, the Sun and Moon Temple was neither valued nor appreciated by the Divine Spirit Clan.

To establish a good relationship with the Divine Spirit Clan, the Hall Master of the Sun and Moon Temple spared no expense, sending all kinds of treasures to them.

Hoping to gain the Divine Spirit Clan’s attention.

Once valued by the Divine Spirit Clan, the Hall Master of the Sun and Moon Temple could trample Emperor Tianhun underfoot and no longer act according to his whims.

"Father, you were wrong, you’ve been wrong from the start," said the Young Temple Master, shaking his head.

"Wrong?" The Hall Master looked at the Young Temple Master in confusion.

"Young Master, what do you mean by this?" The elders and high-ranking members were baffled.

The Young Temple Master said, "The Sun and Moon Temple has always overestimated its position, not knowing its true place. To put it bluntly, Father and the elders are too conceited."

The Hall Master furrowed his brows slightly, obviously displeased with this comment from the Young Temple Master but said nothing, continuing to listen.

"Father, you should go to the Divine Spirit Clan yourself, as a show of sincerity. Don’t forget, in the eyes of the Divine Spirit Clan, we are nothing but ants; it’s the same in Emperor Tianhun’s eyes."

"It was because Emperor Tianhun didn’t value the Sun and Moon Temple that you harbored resentment, but have you ever wondered why Emperor Tianhun didn’t regard the Sun and Moon Temple highly?"

"Even today, Father and the elders haven’t figured it out. The reason lies in our sincerity! It might seem to you as if we are sincere, but to others, we appear as arrogant. When Lord Emperor Tianhun was enraged back then, it was precisely because of this. Were it not for the Sun and Moon Temple’s considerable strength, don’t you think we would have been annihilated by now? Now, do you still think I should go to the Divine Spirit Clan?"

"Even in front of the Divine Spirit Clan, Emperor Tianhun is just an ant. If the Sun and Moon Temple cannot show true sincerity, going there would be a death sentence. To put it bluntly, in front of the Divine Spirit Clan, we are even less than ants."

"As for Zhang Mo’s character, he is arrogant and dismissive of others. Father, isn’t that clear to you? Sending him would only make things worse. Ruthlessness is necessary, yes, but so is wisdom. Although Zhou Yan is the grandson of the Second Elder, everyone knows Zhou Yan’s character well; he must have provoked someone."

The words of the Young Temple Master were forceful and unyielding, hard to refute.

The face of the Hall Master turned very unpleasant. He did not anticipate his son embarrassing him publicly in front of so many people.

And the last statement by the Young Temple Master undoubtedly implied that the Hall Master lacked intellect.

The elders and other high-level members remained silent, clearly noticing the Hall Master’s livid expression.

"If you want to foster a good relationship with the Divine Spirit Clan, Father, you must go personally. I’ve said enough; whether you heed your child’s advice is up to you. I shall visit Beast Spirit Mountain to avoid bringing trouble to the Sun and Moon Temple." The Young Temple Master said this and vanished into thin air.

"Hall Master, about the Young Temple Master, he..." An elder looked at the Hall Master.

"Humph! Supporting outsiders and undermining oneself! Thinking the Sun and Moon Temple has no prospects? Foolish!" The Hall Master snorted angrily.

...

Three days later, deep in Beast Spirit Mountain.

Feng Wuchen emerged from the Divine Ring. Over the span of three days, he had consolidated the realm of a One-star Divine Venerate, greatly enhancing his combat power.

"After breaking through to the Divine Venerate Realm, the level of the Undying Golden Body has also risen significantly. I wonder what the next level will be like; it’s truly exciting," Feng Wuchen muttered to himself with a smile.

"Master, why not consume the Three-star Divine Venerate Level Nitian Divine Pearl now? With its terrifying efficacy, it could instantly boost Master’s cultivation by three to four stars," came a voice from the Dragon God Sword.

"There aren’t many Three-star Divine Venerate Level Nitian Divine Pearls left. The higher the level, the rarer the treasures required. The recently acquired treasures, and those provided by Xuan Shadow Divine Palace, aren’t enough to craft them," Feng Wuchen shook his head slightly.

"Hmm?" Feng Wuchen suddenly frowned, sensing numerous powerful figures rapidly approaching.

"People of the Sun and Moon Temple? As expected, they won’t let it go easily. But it’s perfect timing. Since they’re here at Beast Spirit Mountain, it’s a good chance for some serious training, which will greatly benefit my cultivation. I also want to see just what level my current combat power has reached." Feng Wuchen grinned coldly.

"Master, retreat," transmitted the Dragon God Sword.

"If they know my location, it means they have some special means to find me. Would retreating help?" Feng Wuchen shrugged.

Meanwhile, over a dozen Divine Venerate experts charged towards the depths relentlessly.

"Brother Zhou, that kid’s aura is just ahead," said a Three-star Divine Venerate.

"Junior Brother Zhou, do you know who the opponent is?" asked a Six-star Divine Venerate from the Sun and Moon Temple.

Zhou Yan said darkly, "I don’t know, but he’s not weak. His speed is terrifying; no, to be precise, his movement technique is very strange."

"Humph! Whoever he is, offending the Sun and Moon Temple means even a Heavenly King would have to die!" another expert said arrogantly. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"The Sun and Moon Temple is under Emperor Tianhun, a major force that will soon garner the attention of the Divine Spirit Clan. Offending us means death!" Zhang Mo said haughtily.

These words from Zhang Mo excited the disciples of the Sun and Moon Temple.

Zhou Yan sneered, "With a few senior brothers taking action, there is absolutely no problem in killing that kid."

With powerful figures like Zhang Mo sent by the Sun and Moon Temple, Zhou Yan was confident in defeating Feng Wuchen.

Zhou Yan had already devised a good strategy to deal with Feng Wuchen.

"Elder Brother Ning, where are they going? Such terrifying murderous intent; did someone offend them?" Shuixian asked in confusion as she watched the dozen Divine Venerate experts exuding murderous aura.

"They’re from the Sun and Moon Temple of the Heavenly God Realm," Ning Hunsheng frowned.

"Could they have found some treasure? Let’s hurry after them!" Ning Chen quickly suggested.

Ning Hunsheng shook his head, "Have you ever seen anyone finding treasure with such intense killing intent? Let’s follow, but don’t interfere and don’t speak carelessly."

At this moment, Feng Wuchen was seated in meditation atop a small hill in the middle of a lake.

"Brother Zhou, he’s ahead!" A Three-star Divine Venerate pointed at Feng Wuchen on the small hill.

"Senior Brother Zhang Mo, that’s the kid!" Upon seeing Feng Wuchen, Zhou Yan’s expression turned extremely vicious.

"So, it’s just a youngster. Quite bold indeed," Zhang Mo said disdainfully, not considering Feng Wuchen a threat at all.
