Pursue to Sword Summit

Chapter 220 - Duke of Gavin

The only thing that could change this level was that a peerless genius would appear within the sect and raise the sect's strength to a higher realm. Grade Seven Sect's strength normally only resided in the Absolute Saint level, but if one wanted to become a Grade Eight Sect, then one had to reach the third level of the Heaven Realm. This was the only sign of being able to enter the Grade Eight Sect, and if a Grade Seven Sect did not have a third level Heaven Realm expert, then no matter how strong they were, no matter how many disciples they had, they would all be more than a Grade Eight Sect.

However, how could such a peerless genius be so easily obtained? To be able to break through into the third level of the Heaven, there couldn't even be a single peerless genius on a continent that appeared every hundred years. And how many countries on a continent would there be to produce such a peerless genius?

But in the eyes of Withered Leaf, Lin Mo was a peerless genius who only appeared once in a hundred years. If this news were to spread throughout the continent, it would definitely shock all the monsters present in the continent. At that time, forget about Infinitesimal Gate and the other Grade Seven Sect who would want to deal with the Lingyun Sect, even if they wanted to, the Lingyun Sect would probably just need to say a word and they would be dealt a devastating blow.

Although Sun Tianfang didn't dare to think too far, he was naturally overjoyed to have such a genius by his side. Now that he was praised by Withered Leaf, he was even more confident.

"Elder Withered Leaf, although Lin Mo has some talent, he hasn't reached that level yet. However, I will definitely go to Elder Withered Leaf's invitation, I just need to find a suitable time." Of course, Sun Tianfang had to agree to Withered Leaf's request. If he could form an alliance with the Divine Emperor Sect, he wouldn't have to worry about the threats posed by the Floating Cloud Sect and the Floating Cloud Sect.

"Alright then. When Sect Master and Lin Mo have time, go to Divine Emperor Sect and give me and Sect Master a message, we will prepare to receive Sect Master."

Sun Tianfang nodded his head: "When the time comes, I will greet the elders in advance. Today, the elders will not be in a rush to leave, and will properly rest in Lingyun Sect for two days.

Withered Leaf was already standing on Lingyun Sect's side, so he naturally wouldn't leave so quickly. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Then I'll have to disturb Sect Master for a few days. This old man also wants to take a good look at the great scenery of Lingyun Sect."

Sun Tianfang laughed: "No no, it's my honor to have Elder Withered Leaf stay, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to handle it. Elder, please, let's go back now."

The tens of thousands of disciples were all in high spirits. On the road, Lin Mo was surrounded by the disciples of the Lingyun Sect, and fortunately, the Sect Master was present, otherwise, it would have been a problem for Lin Mo to be able to stand there.

Lin Mo accompanied the entire process of receiving the Elder Withered Leaf, because this was all arranged by the sect master, even if Lin Mo wanted to escape, he had no way of doing so, and only after the feast ended did Lin Mo have the chance to leave.

But the moment he came out, he was surrounded by Lingyun Sect disciples, and everyone called him senior brother. Under the Princess's scolding, Lin Mo was able to escape from the encirclement of the disciples.

Once he returned to his residence, it was not difficult for Lin Mo to rest. Although the residence did not have those young disciples, the princess and Qin Xinyin had been accompanying him the entire time.

Fortunately, the beauties all knew that he was tired, and they all carried either tea or water. Lin Mo had a comfortable day, it was really nice to have someone to serve him.

The next day, the moment Lin Mo arrived, he heard Qingling say that the sect master was looking for him, so he hurried over. When he arrived at the great hall, he saw that many people were already standing inside, and many were not even Lingyun Sect disciples yet.

Seeing that Lin Mo had arrived, Sun Tianfang immediately smiled: "Lin Mo, the King has personally come to see you today, hurry up and greet the King."

Only then did Lin Mo realise that there was an old man in flowery armor sitting beside the Sect Master. This old man was dressed in a dragon robe and had the aura of a king, he then knew that he was the king and immediately knelt down, "Disciple Lin Mo greets Your Majesty."

Although the Sect Master of the Cloudsoaring sect was above the King of Great Ming Country in terms of status and power, the Great Ming Country was still under the control of the King. When Sun Tianfang saw the King of Great Ming Country normally, they were basically on equal footing and this was also the relationship between many nations and large sects.

The king of the Great Ming Country was over a hundred years old. Although cultivators could not see him as a great man, the king of the Great Ming Country was not a true cultivator. He still had to manage such a huge country.

The king's real name was Xiao Feng and his face looked kind. Behind him stood Princess Ming Yi and the First Prince Xiao Mingyi.

The king immediately laughed: "Lin Mo, no need to stand on ceremony here, I am just a guest here."

Lin Mo also stood at the side, and laughed: "Lin Mo, the King has personally come to see you today, he has something he wishes to discuss with you, after you hear it, you can make your own decision."

Lin Mo thought that the King had come to find him today because he had something to discuss with him. If he said that it was a discussion, then it would naturally be polite.

Lin Mo said: "I await your orders, your majesty."

The King immediately smiled, "Lin Mo, I have come today on a matter. I heard that you and my First Prince have hit it off well at first sight, and have already become brothers, this old man wants to follow the clan rules and bestow you the title of Duke. This way, you will have the status of an royalty, and it will be much more convenient for this old man to see you in the future."

When Lin Mo heard the King's words, he was also slightly surprised. For the King to bestow him the title of Duke, it was not a simple matter. The Duke's position in the royalty was only second to the King's, and even the prince had to sit on equal footing.

If you are still a commoner, it would be a little inappropriate. After being conferred with you as a duke, you are now a member of our royal family, so naturally, you can stand on equal footing with the First Prince. Secondly, you are the most outstanding disciple of the Lingyun Sect, and also the most talented young man of the Great Ming Country, so I, as the King, naturally have to nurture and reward you well. You represent the future hope of our Great Ming Country. "

After Lin Mo heard this, he came to the conclusion that his battle yesterday was already known by every single household outside, which was why he got the King to personally come and bestow him the title of Duke. It was just that he did not know how to answer, because this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Seeing that Lin Mo did not dare make a sound, Sun Tianfang knew that he did not know what to do, and immediately laughed: "Lin Mo, since the King is so generous, you have to reject him, quickly accept the title of King, in the future, my disciple will be a little duke too."

Hearing Master say that, Lin Mo was afraid that it would be difficult for him to reject them, so he immediately stepped forward and said: "Disciple thanks the Emperor for his grace."

Seeing that Lin Mo had agreed, the King immediately laughed happily: "Alright, now you are our Great Ming Country's youngest Duke. Quickly take out the Duke's clothes, we want to personally put them on.

Immediately, a royal guard brought up a golden qipao, and on it was a purple gold crown. The king himself came down, picked up the purple gold crown, and said while placing it on Lin Mo's head: "Lin Mo, I will help you put on the golden crown." With that, the King placed the purple gold crown on Lin Mo's head and helped him put on the golden robe.

With the gold crown on his head, Lin Mo seemed to have become a completely different person. His entire temperament seemed to have changed, not only was he handsome and confident, he even had the aura of a king.

Even the king could not help but nod in admiration, "You are wearing this Duke's attire and are a true member of the royal family. I am also very happy to see you here."

Princess Ming Yi's eyes also started to shine, she never thought that Lin Mo would be so handsome before either. Ming Yi immediately ran to Lin Mo's side to look around, and laughed: "Lin Mo, I never thought that you would be so handsome, how come I didn't realise it before?"

Lin Mo felt a little embarrassed by the princess' words, after all, the king and his master were already there, so he could not answer his. He still smiled and said: "Don't mention Lin Mo, he is a little embarrassed, Lin Mo, you are already a duke, we have prepared a Duke Mansion for you at the Great Ming Country, if you have time, you can go down the mountain and live in the Duke Mansion, there will always be someone there to help you."

Lin Mo was even more flattered, how could he need Duke Mansion alone? Furthermore, he had always been at Lingyun Sect, and would probably not stay for more than a few days. Lin Mo hurriedly said, "Your majesty, disciple is Lingyun Sect's disciple and doesn't have much time to go down the mountain. I don't think Duke Mansion needs it."

However, the King smiled and said, "How can that be? You are our Duke, how can you not have a Duke Mansion. Otherwise, others will laugh at us. You can just accept him without worry. A Duke Mansion is not a big problem."

Sun Tianfang also laughed: "Lin Mo, right now you are better than me, your master's life, this old man doesn't have any Duke Mansion living on the mountain, but now you do, the emperor wants you to stay for the night, this is the rule, you can't refuse him."

Since Master had already spoken, how could Lin Mo still refuse? Moreover, he thought that maybe he could really use them in the future. Maybe when the people from the Immortal Sword Sect came, he could let them stay in his residence instead of staying in an inn like he did in the past.

Lin Mo could only reply, "This disciple thanks Your Majesty for your grace."

The King laughed out loud, then said, "You are already a duke now, so feel free to tell us what you need to do in the future. I will definitely do my best to do it, I still have some things that I can't stay in Lingyun Sect for too long. If you descend the mountain in the future, you must come and visit me, I will welcome you at any time."

Of course, Lin Mo could only nod his head in agreement. Only then did the king turn back and say to Sun Tianfang, "Sect Master Sun, we will not stay here any longer.

Sun Tianfang laughed: "This old man had wanted to go drink a cup for a long time too, it's just that there are a lot of things happening in the sect recently, I will bring Lin Mo along to see you later."

The King hurriedly said, "That would be for the best. I will be taking my leave today, the First Prince will be staying with the Princess and Lin Mo. Let him stay in Lingyun Sect for a while."

After the King and his guards left the Lingyun Sect, the First Prince and Lin Mo headed towards their residence. The Princess followed closely behind, and on the way, Lin Mo heard a piece of shocking news. The First Prince had not come this time to play for two days, but he had other reasons.
