During the half month on the spirit boat, Mu Feng's private room was very busy, and most of them were geniuses selected by the Temple of Origin at the genius event.
Mu Feng, on the other hand, couldn't go out in seclusion, so entertaining these people became Xi Hongguang's normal routine.
Moreover, these geniuses all know that Xi Hongguang has a good relationship with Mu Feng, so they treat Xi Hongguang very politely, even enthusiastically.
Xi Hongguang is also very good at dealing with people. He quickly became involved with these geniuses. However, he is also a wise man and will never do anything like overstepping his authority, so the gift he gave him is a perfect one.
Confiscated.
Although these people came to visit for Mu Feng's sake, Xi Hongguang didn't take it seriously. He knew that after entering the Shiyuan Temple, he couldn't rely on Mu Feng for everything. This would easily drain the two people's favor.
.
Therefore, he is now managing his own social circle and making friends with these geniuses will be beneficial to him in the Temple of Origin in the future.
This is also what Mu Feng appreciates about Xi Hongguang, he will not pretend to be powerful.
Half a month later, the spirit ship finally arrived at the core area of the Holy Origin Continent - the Holy Origin Rift Valley.
The Holy Source Rift Valley is a super large rift valley that was formed in ancient times. It is said that it was formed by the fall of a huge meteorite from the sky.
The Great Rift Valley is surrounded by lush and dense rainforests, and the trees in these rainforests are all tall, hundreds of feet tall, and some are even as tall as a thousand feet tall.
This rainforest is called the Rainforest of Death. Since the meteorite landed, this area has become the premier treasure land of the Holy Yuan Continent. It is not only rich in energy, but also full of laws, and has given birth to many powerful and terrifying creatures.
In ancient times, many Holy Lords who broke into this place perished, so this rain forest was called the Death Rain Forest.
The first generation of the Temple Master of the Origin Temple spent a lot of manpower and material resources in order to establish a base here, and even sacrificed many powerful Holy Lords, before finally establishing a firm foothold here.
The original sacrifice was rewarded, so the Temple of the Origin has since then had the natural barrier of the Rainforest of Death, and no force on the mainland can penetrate the core of the Holy Land of the Origin.
You must know that at the beginning of the establishment of the Temple of the Origin, it was not the number one force in the Holy Yuan Continent. Later, as time passed, many powerful forces experienced their rise and decline, and were submerged in the long river of history.
However, the Temple of the Origin has always stood firm. Relying on the natural barrier of the Death Rainforest, the Temple of the Origin has always remained indifferent to the world and continued to accumulate strength. It eventually became the well-deserved uncrowned king of the Holy Yuan Continent and the number one holy place in the world.
.
Traveling through the Death Rainforest to the Great Rift Valley, the Temple of Origin has established as many as a dozen secret passages, and each secret passage is heavily guarded. Once they find that they are not one of their own, they will immediately sound the alarm and kill them as soon as possible.
intruder.
Xun Gaohan led a group of geniuses into a secret passage in the southwest.
The moment Mu Feng, Xi Hongguang and others followed Xun Gaohan into the passage, several tyrannical consciousnesses descended on them unscrupulously, examining them ruthlessly.
Mu Feng felt a shiver in his heart, and secretly thought that the Temple of Origin was indeed extraordinary. Among the guards guarding this passage, there was actually more than one powerful Saint Lord guarding it.
After checking, these spiritual consciousnesses found that there was no problem, so they withdrew one after another. At the same time, a team came out of the passage. A young female disciple wearing the uniform of the Shiyuan Temple came out and bowed respectfully to Xun Gaohan, showing that he was driving with ease.
He led them towards the depths.
The female disciple leading the way would always inadvertently look behind her while walking, observing this group of new disciples who had just started.
These would be her fellow juniors from now on, and she wanted to see what good prospects there were.
She first noticed the young man in black who was following Xun Gaohan and Tian Sui, and the other geniuses followed the young man in black indifferently, always respecting him.
"A few days ago, a senior brother said that during this genius event, a young man named Mu Feng was personally accepted as a direct disciple by the palace master. I must be this junior brother, right?"
The female disciple's beautiful eyes flashed, and she quickly remembered the new disciple named Mu Feng that everyone had been discussing recently.
Especially after learning that he was accepted as a direct disciple by the temple master, this incident shocked the entire disciples of the Temple of Origin.
You must know that the disciples of the Temple of Origin are divided into three levels: outer disciples, inner disciples, and core disciples, but everyone knows very well that above these three levels, there is also a direct disciple.
Moreover, this direct disciple can only be promoted by the palace master, because once he is selected as a direct disciple, it is equivalent to being trained as the next palace master, and he is essentially the 'young palace master'.
For this reason, the core disciples in the Shiyuan Temple have been fighting openly and secretly over the years, in order to dominate other core disciples, and then be valued by the temple master and be selected as a direct disciple.
After all, the Palace Master has never accepted any disciples, and those core disciples all think they have a chance.
But no one expected that Zhu Chengtian would eventually choose a direct disciple among the new disciples. This news made all the core disciples despair and dissatisfied.
But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction. As the master of the temple, Zhu Chengtian has supreme authority in the Shiyuan Temple. Since Zhu Chengtian has made his choice, no one will object, and no one dares to object.
"It seems that this boy is very ordinary, and his cultivation level is only at the late stage of Quasi-Saint, which is worse than that of Zhu Qixi. Why would the palace master choose him as his direct disciple?"
The female disciple looked at Mu Feng and murmured in her heart, her eyes filled with doubts.
No matter how she looked at Mu Feng, she felt that the latter was ordinary and nothing special. So what did the palace master see in this boy?
Mu Feng naturally noticed that the female disciple leading the way had been secretly sizing him up. He was a little surprised. Was there something dirty on his face?
Why do you keep looking at him?
"Junior Brother Mu, the news about you being accepted as a direct disciple has already spread in the temple. To be honest, almost all the core disciples are very dissatisfied and very hostile to you!"
Xun Gaohan glanced sideways at the female disciple and sent a message to Mu Feng.
"Didn't I refuse to become the palace master's personal disciple?
How..." Mu Feng was stunned.
Xun Gaohan chuckled and said: "Although you say this, the palace master's publicity is that you are his direct disciple. In fact, you don't need to be his disciple, but you can still enjoy the privileges of his direct disciple! Otherwise, the rejection will also be spread.
Come on, the palace master can’t bear to lose his face!”
"..." Mu Feng was speechless, but still asked curiously: "What about the core disciples?"
"Hehe! Junior Brother Mu doesn't know that the status of the Palace Master's direct disciples in the temple is equivalent to that of the Young Palace Master, and he can inherit the position of the Palace Master in the future! Moreover, the Palace Master has never had an apprentice, so these core disciples are
I don’t know how many times I have fought overtly and covertly in my desire to become the palace master’s personal disciple!”
Xun Gaohan said with emotion: "But now, the palace master has accepted a disciple of yours who has just started as his direct disciple. What do you think the core disciples will think?"
Mu Feng rubbed his chin, understanding that he might have become the public enemy of the core disciples in the temple.
They had been competing for so many years but could not get the direct disciple, but he, a newcomer, got it. I'm afraid they would be hard-pressed to be convinced.
