In Liu Huayuan’s view, Ye Feng’s arrogance had completely exceeded his expectations, something he had never anticipated. Liu Huayuan had lived for over fifteen hundred years, but it was the first time he had seen such an arrogant person.

Initially, Liu Huayuan wanted to accept Ye Feng as his disciple, but Ye Feng wanted him to become a follower. The status of a mentor is above Ye Feng, while a follower is merely a subordinate of Ye Feng. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

With such a sudden change, how could Liu Huayuan be willing? He was naturally furious.

Ye Feng remained calm and composed, showing no emotion: "Become my follower, and I can guarantee you a breakthrough in Asking, and possibly even achieving a higher realm. If I become your disciple, even without you, I can easily break through into Entering Dao and achieve the realm of Asking. Tell me, what qualifications do you have for me to become your disciple? A follower is more suitable for you!"

Liu Huayuan was so angered by Ye Feng’s words that he almost spat blood. In all these years, it was the first time he had encountered such an arrogant person. Liu Huayuan was enraged: "A mere Daoist Lord! Do you really think you are invincible?"

Liu Huayuan instantly elevated his spatial pressure to twelvefold, using all his might.

However, Ye Feng remained relaxed and composed, completely indifferent. He stood straight, his eyes filled with strong confidence: "A mere Daoist Lord? Who told you I am just a Daoist Lord?"

"What do you mean?" Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, Liu Huayuan was taken aback, his eyes filled with shock.

Ye Feng slowly spoke: "Naturally, the literal meaning. What else could it mean?"

"Boom!" Suddenly, a terrifying shockwave erupted from Ye Feng’s body, a fearsome pressure descended, enveloping Ye Feng’s body in nine-colored radiance. Instantly, a dreadful roaring came from the Heavenly Dao.

The roaring echoed, and in an instant, three Dao Patterns appeared on Ye Feng’s forehead.

With the appearance of the Dao Patterns, supreme pressure descended. In an instant, Ye Feng’s entire figure became incomparably majestic, like a Supreme from Nine Heavens, that kind of suppression from the depths of the soul impacted Liu Huayuan’s body.

Liu Huayuan instantly felt that his True Essence, his soul, every ounce of power flowing within his body, were all suppressed, suppressed by over thirty percent of his power. And Liu Huayuan, an Entering Dao Great Perfection Dao Sect strong person, had cultivation a whole great realm superior to Ye Feng, with seven small levels in between. Yet he felt fear.

He actually felt fear towards a Martial Artist of True God Great Perfection, an uncontrollable fear!

"Dao... Dao Venerate..." Instantly, Liu Huayuan became dry-mouthed, his eyes widened, staring at Ye Feng in horror.

His spatial pressure also instantly vanished. Faced with Ye Feng’s Dao Venerate pressure, he forgot to use his pressure.

Liu Huayuan was just staring dazedly at Ye Feng, feeling as if he was dreaming, completely unable to understand it.

He never expected Ye Feng to be a Dao Venerate-level genius strength. Liu Huayuan rubbed his eyes vigorously.

Finally, he confirmed, it wasn’t an illusion, it was real, Ye Feng truly was a Dao Venerate strong people!

If the eyes might deceive oneself, the feeling of the body absolutely wouldn’t.

Liu Huayuan, being a Dao Sect-level strong person, when facing Daoist Lord’s pressure, wouldn’t be greatly affected, yet at this moment, after sensing Ye Feng’s aura, his strength was directly suppressed by thirty percent!

Liu Huayuan’s heart was a whirlwind of shock. Looking at Ye Feng, indeed, Ye Feng said he wasn’t qualified to be Ye Feng’s mentor. Ye Feng wasn’t looking down on him, Ye Feng was merely stating the facts.

He was merely an Entering Dao Great Perfection Dao Sect, and Ye Feng was a Dao Venerate strong person. How could he be qualified to be Ye Feng’s mentor? Liu Huayuan knew that in the Spirit Martial Continent, it had almost been ten thousand years since a Dao Venerate-level genius appeared. Each Dao Venerate genius, upon appearance, was a super existence that shook the heavens and earth.

And the Pioneer of Daoist School was a Dao Venerate genius. During the era of the Pioneer of Daoist School’s existence, their power was so great that they nearly unified the entire Spirit Martial Continent, and even the Holy Land could only avoid confrontation, not daring to oppose Daoist School.

Every Dao Venerate-level strong person has the absolute potential to cultivate to Proof of Dao Great Perfection level. While currently, Liu Huayuan’s Entering Dao Great Perfection is already his limit, how could he possibly qualify to be Ye Feng’s mentor?

Liu Huayuan struggled to calm his shocked heart, and after a while, revealed a hint of a wry smile.

"Alas..." Liu Huayuan sighed: "Ye Feng, you’re right, I am not qualified to teach you, and I can’t teach you. You can go, and I won’t become your follower. If you want me to become your follower, then when you have the strength to beat me, I will become your follower. Rest assured, my previous words still hold.

As long as you are in the Punishment Hall, I will protect you for a day, but upon leaving the Punishment Hall, that’s not certain.

After all, Ye Feng is a Dao Venerate-level strong person, being his follower is nothing to be ashamed of, but Liu Huayuan has his pride. After all, Ye Feng’s current strength is still somewhat lacking, so he did not agree to become Ye Feng’s follower.

Ye Feng smiled slightly: "Guardian Liu, your talent is not bad, under normal circumstances, reaching the realm of Asking would not be difficult. The reason you cannot break through is because your foundation is damaged and incomplete, and you have no way to repair your foundation, which is why you cannot break through to the realm of Asking. Am I right?"

After hearing Ye Feng’s words, Liu Huayuan’s eyes showed shock, looking at Ye Feng: "How do you know that?"

The damage to his foundation was always a secret, something no one in the entire Daoist School knew, but now Ye Feng had revealed it with a single statement, which surprised Liu Huayuan.

Ye Feng said calmly: "Because I am an Alchemy Master, your aura is different from that of a normal Martial Artist, I can naturally see it." Liu Huayuan was somewhat surprised: "I didn’t expect you to also be an Alchemy Master, but so what, repairing a foundation is extremely difficult..."
