The dragon-shaped true energy in Lin Fei's hand, though not large in size, contained an unparalleled power. Lin Fei had integrated his own True Dragon Origin Energy into this dragon-shaped true energy, making it unique in the world.
The Confucian sage before him, though not as insightful as the Nine Heavens Emperor and the True Martial Emperor, was no ordinary person. He immediately recognized the unusual nature of the dragon-shaped true energy in Lin Fei's hand.
The Confucian sage appeared extremely astonished, staring in shock at the dragon-shaped true energy in Lin Fei's hand, muttering incredulously, "This... could this be the legendary True Dragon Origin Energy? How is this possible?"
The Confucian sage was so astonished that he could barely speak, his mouth agape as he exclaimed, "Legend has it that only those who have established great virtue for the sake of heaven and earth and all living beings can possess the true dragon's source energy, gathering the faith of all living beings. Throughout history, I have only heard of the Three Sovereigns of antiquity, who condensed a portion of true dragon's source energy through their supreme virtue. And since the Three Sovereigns of antiquity disappeared, this true dragon's source energy has vanished without a trace. How could you possibly possess it?"
Seeing the Confucian Sage's shocked expression, Lin Fei was quite satisfied. In fact, Lin Fei not only possessed the inheritance of the Three Ancient Sovereigns, but also the Six Paths Incarnation Technique personally passed down by the True Martial Emperor, and the inheritance of the Nine Heavens Emperor. Compared to the Three Ancient Sovereigns, those two emperors were clearly a cut above, both in terms of status and cultivation.
However, the reason Lin Fei chose to reveal the inheritance of the Three Ancient Sovereigns instead of the two Great Emperors was because he knew that, for these medieval sages, the two Great Emperors clearly did not hold the same status as the Three Ancient Sovereigns.
In ancient times, there were countless powerful figures. But only the Three Sovereigns of antiquity performed great deeds for all living beings and were respected by them, thus being honored as "Emperors".
In the present medieval era, the demon race has wreaked havoc on the common people. The greatest ideal of the ancient sages was to eradicate the demon race and restore peace and prosperity to the world. Therefore, in their minds, even the most powerful beings of higher status could not compare to the Three Sovereigns of antiquity who had performed countless merits for the human race.
Seeing the Confucian sage's shocked expression, Lin Fei knew that his purpose had been achieved. He nodded and smiled, "I once had the opportunity to visit the cave of the Three Sovereigns in ancient times and received the true dragon source energy inheritance from His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor. Now that the people of the world are suffering a great calamity, I heard that you sages and seniors are going to the Demon Palace to eradicate the demon race. I have come here specially, hoping to contribute my share to the people of the world."
"So you are a descendant of His Majesty the Emperor. I was wrong to have misjudged you." As the Confucian sage spoke, he stood up, and his attitude towards Lin Fei was quite different from before.
Previously, in the eyes of the Confucian Sage, Lin Fei was merely a junior with some cultivation. Although his cultivation was decent, he had not yet reached the Celestial Realm and was not worthy of the Confucian Sage's special attention. However, now that he had learned that Lin Fei was the successor of the Three Sovereigns of antiquity and possessed the legendary True Dragon Origin Qi, the Confucian Sage no longer dared to underestimate Lin Fei and had begun to treat him as a person of the same level.
This was precisely the effect Lin Fei wanted to achieve. He knew that with his cultivation at the third level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, it was impossible for him to stand on equal footing with these ancient saints and travel to the Demon Palace together. In the end, he would probably be randomly assigned to deal with those minor demon figures.
This was something Lin Fei absolutely did not want to accept. The main quest issued by the system was for him to personally defeat the Ten Great Saints of the Demon Race and obtain the Demon Summoning Banner, the supreme treasure of the Demon Race, not to act as a vanguard to deal with those minor demon figures.
To gain the attention of these ancient sages, besides displaying one's combat power comparable to celestial beings or even earth immortals in front of them, one must also reveal one's identity as a descendant of the Three Sovereigns, thus forcing them to take one seriously.
Lin Fei didn't want to reveal all his trump cards to others so soon. Although the Academy of Sages was a sacred place for humans, it was hard to guarantee that there weren't spies from the demon race. If his trump cards were leaked, it might create many more troubles when dealing with the Ten Great Sages of the demon race in the future.
Therefore, Lin Fei chose the second method—directly revealing his identity as a descendant of the Three Sovereigns of antiquity, so that the ancient sages would have no choice but to regard him as a person of the same level.
It's important to understand that the Three Sovereigns of antiquity are more than just three names to humanity, which has suffered calamities and been ruled by demons for so long. They are more like spiritual symbols, deeply imprinted in the hearts of every human being. Even these sages cannot help but take the descendants of the Three Sovereigns of antiquity seriously.
“Originally, I wanted you to go with Zilu to gain some experience first. But if you are a descendant of the Three Sovereigns of antiquity, I wouldn’t dare to make such a decision on my own,” the Confucian sage said, stroking his white beard. “Well then, the chief strategist of our Human Academy is Yuan Tiangang, who is known as the ‘Sage of Numbers.’ I have some matters to attend to, so I will have Zilu take you to see him and have him arrange your next task.”
"Thank you, Sage!" Lin Fei cupped his hands in thanks to the Confucian Sage, and followed Zilu to find Yuan Tiangang, who was now the strategist of the human race.
……
Despite Lin Fei's expressionless and calm demeanor, a turbulent storm was brewing within him.
Yuan Tiangang, the ancient sage and chief strategist of the human race, what a familiar name!
Now, the ancient sage Yuan Tiangang is residing in Lin Fei's body as Lin Fei's six primordial spirits. How could there be another ancient sage here?
Lin Fei was equally puzzled, so he sent a telepathic message to Yuan Tiangang, who was now Lin Fei's Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit, and asked him, "Senior Yuan, what kind of beings are these Sages here?"
Lin Fei had no doubt about the system's extraordinary abilities, even managing to find the long-lost ancient Buddhist holy land, Mount Ling. Finding the ancient Buddhist holy land was possible because Mount Ling itself existed in the world. But to create an ancient era out of thin air, resurrect all the ancient saints at the Earth Immortal level, and even produce two multi-sage figures like Yuan Tiangang, was simply unbelievable.
Even Lin Fei, who already knew of the system's immense power, couldn't help but have some doubts. What exactly was the relationship between the Sage Yuan Tiangang who existed here and the Yuan Tiangang who was now his Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit?
……
As one of Lin Fei's six primordial spirits, Yuan Tiangang was recognized by the system as Lin Fei's own cultivation, not an external entity. Therefore, Yuan Tiangang was not sealed by the system and could still hear Lin Fei's telepathic messages.
After hearing Lin Fei's question, Yuan Tiangang, who was inside Lin Fei's body, remained silent for a long time before answering Lin Fei's question.
