Chapter 1229: Chapter 1229: Deterrence

Other than Su Xuan, the divine skill of Thought-Forming Instrumentation, Zhen Xuantong and the others had only heard of it, knowing it to be the stuff of legends, and had never witnessed it.

The moment the four words “One-Thought Pattern Formation” came out of Su Xuan’s mouth, it was as if a heavy bomb had exploded in their ears.

One-Thought Pattern Formation—what kind of concept is that?

To instantly refine a powerful inscription—what if it were a dozen, or even hundreds of them? How terrifying would that power be?

Back in the day, Yunyouzi repelled a Demon Clan Elder with thirty thousand Earth Rank inscriptions, demonstrating just how horrifying One-Thought Pattern Formation could be.

Zhen Xuantong and the others didn’t even dare to imagine it.

“The divine skill of Thought-Forming Instrumentation is indeed terrifying. If Lord Feng is truly capable of One-Thought Pattern Formation, it’s unimaginable how fearsome he would be!” Zhen Xuantong thought in shock.

The image of Feng Wuchen executing One-Thought Pattern Formation was utterly terrifying; powerful Heavenly Grade inscriptions rapidly formed one after another, as if emerging like magic tricks.

With Feng Wuchen’s current level as a Heavenly Grade Inscription Master, he could already refine Innate Grade inscriptions. Calculated in thousands, the strength would be unmeasurable.

“Why hasn’t the young master of the Tianshi Immortal Mansion come?” Feng Wuchen quickly shifted the topic and asked.

“To break through to the Heavenly Deity Realm, the young master has been in seclusion for three years and hasn’t emerged yet. Breaking through the Heavenly Deity Realm is extremely challenging. We hope the young master succeeds,” Nie Guhong replied.

“I see. No wonder Senior Su approached me. Rest assured, esteemed seniors—being the young master of the Tianshi Immortal Mansion and a genius Inscription Master, breaking through the Heavenly Deity Realm will surely be no issue,” Feng Wuchen said with a calm smile.

“Well then, I have other important matters to attend to, so I won’t delay your disciple recruitment in the Tianshi Immortal Mansion. Farewell.” Feng Wuchen rose and cupped his fists courteously.

“Lord Feng, are you leaving so soon?” Third Elder Liu Canghai quickly asked.

“Yes. Staying too long would only bring trouble to you,” Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile before walking out of the grand hall.

Su Xuan and the three elders personally escorted Feng Wuchen out of the hall.

On the plaza outside the hall, the disciples of the Tianshi Immortal Mansion still waited respectfully. Seeing Feng Wuchen emerge, their expressions instantly turned excited.

“He’s out! Lord Feng is out!”

“Senior Brother Wang, didn’t you say you didn’t believe Lord Feng is a Divine Grade Artifact Refiner and wanted to test his Soul Power? Hurry and test it!”

“Yeah, Senior Brother Wang! Among the disciples of our Tianshi Immortal Mansion, apart from Senior Brother and the young master, your Soul Power is the strongest. Quickly, do it!”

As soon as Feng Wuchen walked out, whispers and enthusiasm erupted among the gathered disciples.

“Fine! Even if the mansion master blames me, I must test it!” The young man addressed as Senior Brother Wang growled, his eyes turning fierce as he immediately unleashed his full Soul Power.

A tempestuous Soul Power surged, reaching the realm of Innate Grade.

With a single thought, under his control, this violent Soul Power ferociously charged toward Feng Wuchen.

“Wang Tianya, stop!” Detecting this fierce and potent Soul Power, Su Xuan’s face changed drastically, and he roared at Wang Tianya in anger.

Unfortunately, Su Xuan’s angry shout came too late to stop Wang Tianya.

In the blink of an eye, the violent Soul Power struck Feng Wuchen directly. Yet, Feng Wuchen neither dodged nor resisted.

“Impossible…” Seeing Feng Wuchen’s completely unresponsive demeanor, many strong Inscription Masters were taken aback.

Was he truly unaware? Could Feng Wuchen’s claim of being a Divine Grade Artifact Refiner be false?

If Feng Wuchen’s soul body were wounded by this, the consequences would be severe!

However, to the shock of everyone in the Tianshi Immortal Mansion, Wang Tianya’s violent Soul Power did indeed strike Feng Wuchen’s body, but it yielded no reaction.

Feng Wuchen remained entirely still, without so much as a furrowed brow, as if Wang Tianya’s Soul Power had simply vanished into thin air, failing to harm him in the slightest.

“Wang Tianya! How dare you disrespect Lord Feng!” Zhen Xuantong immediately scolded, glaring fiercely at Wang Tianya.

“How is this possible…” With Feng Wuchen still unresponsive, Wang Tianya was dumbfounded, his eyes wide with disbelief, seemingly deaf to Su Xuan and Zhen Xuantong’s angry shouts.

“Did it miss? Why is there no response at all?”

“Impossible! It clearly hit! How could there be no reaction?”

“Senior Brother Wang’s Soul Power at the Innate Grade Realm couldn’t shake Lord Feng at all! It seems it’s true he’s a Divine Grade Artifact Refiner!”

The disciples of the Tianshi Immortal Mansion were both shocked and incredulous.

“Lord Feng’s Soul Power has grown increasingly formidable. He doesn’t even need to resist Soul Power at the Innate Grade Realm. His Soul Power might even rival mine—or perhaps has already surpassed it. Truly a terrifying talent!” Su Xuan thought, stunned by the rapid progress of Feng Wuchen’s Soul Power.

“Incredible! Lord Feng’s Soul Power is so dominant that he directly ignores Soul Power at the Innate Grade Realm! Not even the young master is comparable!” Zhen Xuantong and the others were equally astounded.

Feng Wuchen’s Soul Power intensity had reached such heights that he could completely disregard Soul Power at the Innate Grade Realm.

The disciples of Tianshi Immortal Mansion were utterly shocked, frozen in place like wooden dummies, mouths agape.

This silent show of dominance by Feng Wuchen carried immense deterrent power.

He didn’t even move—just stood there and took the attack without showing any reaction.

Although Su Xuan and the others could have intervened against Wang Tianya’s Soul Power attack, they chose not to. Partly to observe the extent of Feng Wuchen’s Soul Power, and partly to inspire the disciples of the Tianshi Immortal Mansion.

“Senior Su, Elder, it’s no trouble. Young people often have a competitive spirit; it’s perfectly normal,” Feng Wuchen remarked with a faint smile, unperturbed.

“Hmph! Wang Tianya! Apologize to Lord Feng this instant!” Su Xuan glared at him and shouted angrily.

“I meant no harm. I simply wanted to test Lord Feng’s Soul Power. For someone so young to have reached the realm of Divine Grade Artifact Refiner—it’s truly hard for us to believe. I humbly ask Lord Feng for understanding,” Wang Tianya immediately knelt on one knee and apologized.

Hearing this, Feng Wuchen smiled faintly and said, “No need to dwell on it. I understand. Achieving the Divine Grade Realm is difficult, but it’s not impossible.”

“Thank you, Lord Feng!” Wang Tianya said respectfully.

“Not impossible! Not impossible!”

Feng Wuchen’s words repeated in Su Xuan’s mind, striking him like a bolt from the blue.

Su Xuan seemed to have understood some hidden meaning in Feng Wuchen’s words.

“Stand up. There’s no need for such formality,” Feng Wuchen said with a friendly and unrestrained demeanor.

“Thank you, Lord Feng!” Wang Tianya thanked him again.

“Esteemed seniors, I’ll visit the Tianshi Immortal Mansion at another opportunity. Farewell.” Feng Wuchen greeted Su Xuan and the others with a cupped fist and a smile.

“Wind Shadow.” At this moment, from high in the sky, an aged voice suddenly echoed down.
