King Xuanyuan, Requests an Audience!
"He's really something, to be able to get thwarted over something as trivial as a romantic relationship." Lin Yan laughed heartily.
Everyone's waiting for him to carry on the family line!
As it turned out, this brat was still troubled by love, which was something Lin Yan really didn't expect.
Dad feels ashamed!
Wen Zhi'an secretly pinched him and snorted, "You're not worried at all, but you can still laugh."
Lin Yan immediately stopped smiling.
But he couldn't help but laugh again, "It is indeed very interesting."
In the universe, even the most powerful and influential families generally do not restrict relationships.
Not to mention that Lin Xiao is a core member of the "Glory Secret Realm" of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. Even powerful families of the Cosmic Lord would be extremely happy to have such Super genius with them, and would love for the women in their families to be with him.
Lin Yan could guess the reason for this situation even with his eyes closed.
"Honey, do you have a plan?" Wen Zhi'an could tell from Lin Yan's expression that he was confident.
Lin Yan brightly. "It's nothing serious, and besides... even if it were a huge deal, it would still be a small matter."
Unless they encounter a woman whom the ruler of the universe has taken a liking to, no one has the right to obstruct the grand plan of passing on the Strongest Bloodline of mankind!
But who would care about something like the Lord of the Universe?
The Life Essence is no longer a concept; even among Immortal God, only a very small minority care about women.
Lin Yan then understood the deeper meaning behind what the Mu Xing Country Lord had said. Such a trivial matter wouldn't warrant the Chaos City Lord acting as matchmaker.
Isn't this just telling Lin Yan that "he really should go back and take a look"?
Thinking about this...
Lin Yan couldn't help but click his tongue. "Sigh, you brat, why didn't you tell me? Do you think your dad isn't capable of solving this problem?"
"I can't tolerate this."
"I know you're amazing. I'll email him and ask him to come to Black Dragon Mountain Island to see you." Wen Zhi'an chuckled, then connected to the Virtual Universe Network and sent an email to Lin Xiao.
Virtual Universe, Crescent Bay on Black Dragon Mountain Island.
The continuous Palace Cluster is like a fairyland.
Lin Yan and his wife were standing in the pavilion by the bay when they saw a young man in Silver Armor walk over.
"Dad!" Upon seeing Lin Yan, the young man's previously calm eyes flashed with excitement, and he rushed over to hug Lin Yan.
"Haha..." Lin Yan smiled and joked, "I'm here to cause you trouble today, Lin Xiao. It's been so long, and I heard you're still at the Cosmic level?"
That's right.
More than two thousand years have passed, and Lin Yan is now a World Master of a large family, while Lin Xiao is still stuck at the Cosmic level.
In contrast, Lin Du didn't stay at the Cosmic level or Domain Lord level for long; he broke through to the World Lord level two thousand years ago.
"Dad, I have my reasons," Lin Xiao explained. "I know that breaking through to the World Master directly, like my brother, would cause a qualitative change in cultivation speed, but I have my own goals."
"Oh?" Lin Yan raised an eyebrow. "Sit down and talk."
They sat on the stone platform in the pavilion.
Lin Xiao began to explain his thoughts.
"After I entered the Core Layer the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, I became a disciple of 'King Xuan Jing'. My teacher told me that if I had confidence, I should give it my all. If I could break through the Glory Tongtian Mountain at the Cosmic level, it would be an unimaginable stroke of luck!"
His eyes shone brightly. "Although I can't do what you did, Dad, I believe that Glory Tongtian Mountain is not too difficult for me. However... it will take some time."
Glory Tongtian Mountain is naturally similar to the Original Tongtian Mountain of the Virtual Universe Company.
Lin Xiao sat there, looking at his father with admiration in his heart. In fact, his choice of this path was largely influenced by Lin Yan.
Children always take their fathers as role models.
But when he truly put himself in his father's shoes, he couldn't help but imagine the shock his father must have brought to the human race when he crossed the 15-level Tongtian Bridge in just over a century at the Cosmic level.
After Lin Xiao joined the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, he received countless accolades because of his talent. However, even after staying at the Cosmic level for more than two thousand years, he still had not been able to fully comprehend the 108 essential aspects of the Time Law.
The difference between them is truly worlds apart.
"Are you confident?" Lin Yan asked with a light laugh as he looked at his son.
For the five major powers, Cosmic level geniuses have almost all remained at their current level for thousands of years, while Domain Lord level geniuses have all remained at their current level for tens of thousands of years.
However, this approach was naturally ineffective against Lin Xiao.
If he wanted to conquer the Tongtian Mountain, Cosmic level Glory Tongtian Mountain, the situation would be different. Knowing that Lin Xiao was still at the Cosmic level, he could already guess Lin Xiao's plans.
This road is not easy to travel.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Lin Yan and Luo Feng Law Comprehension as easily as drinking water, making it seem like this is no difficult task.
In reality, they all achieved this by having their consciousness descend to the Universe Origin place. The speed of comprehension at the World Lord level is vastly different from that at the Cosmic level, and they also have the help of their Clone Talent.
Just think about the genius "Lian Luo" who created the "Blood Drift" manual. He entered the Virtual Universe Company as the number one World Lord level in the Genius Battle, but... it took him three thousand years of enlightenment in Chaos City to comprehend the 108 kinds of Space essence. This shows just how difficult it is.
Even Ke Di, who remained at the Cosmic level for thousands of years, was able to achieve this.
"Haha..." Lin Xiao laughed, "Of course I'm confident! If others can do it, why should I be worse than them?"
Lin Yan and Wen Zhi'an exchanged a glance.
They all sensed Lin Xiao's unwavering determination! It was a belief... a belief that he would never back down!
Tongtian Mountain, as a benchmark for humanity's most outstanding geniuses, would be meaningless without such a belief; it would simply be a waste of time.
"Since you have such a plan, it is a good thing." Lin Yan pondered, "Most of the top geniuses of the human race are in the Giant Axe Arena and the Virtual Universe Company. In the history of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, very few people have been able to pass through the Glory Tongtian Mountain."
"If you can really do that, there is a high chance that you will be accepted as a personal disciple by the Lord of the Universe of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance."
Being accepted as a personal disciple by the Lord of the Universe and staying for several thousand years is naturally nothing special.
"Yes." Lin Xiao nodded solemnly.
He was able to make this choice because he was clearly aware of the gains and losses.
Perhaps it was because of the first generation of the Superhuman Bloodline, but Lin Yan's two sons showed terrifying talent.
Lin Xiao's talent is mainly manifested in his physical abilities.
For beings of Flesh-type, there is a saying that "physical exertion" is important. Ordinary martial artists, without special training, only use brute force, which is actually only 1% of their physical potential. Even World Master would find it difficult to perfectly unleash 100% of their potential.
Even Lin Yan only achieved this after cultivating the "Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body".
But for Lin Xiao... it was almost an instinct, as if he was born with a talent for exerting force. Even when he hadn't studied combat techniques much at the beginning, he could easily unleash around 80 or 90 units of force. Lin Yan only needed to guide him slightly to achieve a perfect exertion of 100 units of force.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Lin Yan instructed him to focus on the path of a martial artist. Apart from the essential Soul Defense Secret Technique, he did not consider any Mental Master methods. The Chaos Stele he chose was the "Cosmic Extreme Chaos Stele," and he devoted all his energy to comprehending the Time Origin Law.
Superhuman Bloodline makes him a "darling of the Law of Light," but relatively speaking, his talent for the Time Law is much inferior.
Lin Xiao reached the Stellar level nine and the Domain Nine Layers at the age of 17, and even had a relatively deep understanding of the Light Origin Law.
Afterwards, he left Earth and joined the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, carrying out various mercenary missions. He was valued by the higher-ups of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance Ganwu Branch and recruited into a Special Elite Training Camp that was in training. Eventually, he was absorbed into the Core Layer and went to Chaos City.
At this point, Lin Xiao's understanding of the Law of Light was already very strong. However, after entering Chaos City and selecting the "Cosmic Extreme Chaos Stele," he officially began cultivating the Time Origin Law.
In particular, by analyzing the Law essence and the path of progress, Lin Xiao, despite his slow progress in the early stages, still managed to successfully cross the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge and enter the core Glory Secret Realm within 30 years.
After carrying out the Desperate Level Mission "Dead Star", he obtained the "Xing Guang Divine General Inheritance" and cultivated the "Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body" suitable for Superhuman Bloodline. In terms of Body Amplitude, it can be said to have reached a rather astonishing level!
In fact, for Lin Xiao, if his Law Comprehension could reach the 11th level, he would already have the confidence to conquer the Glory Tongtian Mountain.
However, even at the eleventh level of the Tongtian Bridge, the highest level of the Original Secret Realm Domain Lord level is only this, and it still requires tens of thousands of years of cultivation, so it is not exactly simple.
As for Lin Du's talent, it manifests in his soul.
With a natural Brain Domain Width of 100%, he could have a bright future if he pursued the Mental Master route. However, he was not interested in combat or cultivation, but rather had an extraordinary interest in those tedious research topics.
Lin Yan didn't mind at all; as long as he liked it, that was fine.
It is worth mentioning that... if the brave and decisive Lin Xiao reached a very high level of "Point Directly to the Original Mind and Clear Mind, See Nature" during the 500 years he was away from Earth, then the easygoing and gentle Lin Du took a different path.
"Heart of a Child merges with nature!"
There were no special circumstances during this process. It was only through his Heart of a Child that Lin Du was able to easily endure the tedium of repeated failures in his research.
It happened naturally, as if by accident.
"The main reason I'm looking for you this time is actually because of something else," Lin Yan said, looking at the young man in silver armor.
"Um?"
Lin Xiao didn't react for a moment.
But after looking at his parents' expressions, he quickly understood, took a deep breath and said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I can handle this."
Lin Yan smiled, "Relying on Glory Tongtian Mountain?"
"Yes." Lin Xiao nodded, his eyes resolute. "Once I get through the Glory Tongtian Mountain, everything will fall into place."
"That is indeed a method," Lin Yan said with a smile. "However, in the universe, it's perfectly normal for couples to be affectionate. How did this matter develop to this point?"
"No matter how revered the Illusionary King is, wouldn't your teacher speak up for you? Given your status in the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, unless that girl from the Chimei Race has no interest in you, she wouldn't act like this," Lin Yan curiously.
"Dad, how did you know all this?" Lin Xiao's eyes widened.
He couldn't quite understand it; very few people knew about this, so it shouldn't have reached his father.
"Of course I know," Lin Yan shook his head.
Does this Illusionary King possess some kind of magic? How come the female disciples he trains are so compatible with the temperament of Earthling?
During the Great Nirvana period, Hong, whose wife had passed away, raised his two children alone. Given his power and prestige on Earth, countless women wanted to marry him, but he never remarried.
In the original story, given Hong Transcendent's level of spiritual cultivation, he still fell in love with Ji Qing, the disciple of the Illusionary King, without hesitation. This is even more unusual than an iron tree blooming!
However, due to the obstruction of the Illusionary King and Ji Qing's eventual retreat, this relationship could not come to fruition.
Upon hearing Wen Zhi'an mention it, Lin Yan knew that no one else could have done such a thing.
The Illusionary King is a member of the "Cosmic Mercenary Alliance" and a terrifying figure among the King-level Immortal God. While his understanding of the Universe Law is not outstanding, his mastery of illusionary attacks is extremely formidable, making him one of the most unapproachable beings among the Feng Wang level Immortal.
Clearly, she is exceptional in terms of mindset and willpower.
Lin Yan only casually gathered some information and learned that the Illusionary King had a total of 22 disciples, including 9 men and 13 women. Some of these 22 disciples had existed for hundreds of millions of years, but none of them had a spouse!
The Illusionary King does not allow his disciples to have romantic relationships; otherwise, they will be expelled!
The youngest disciple is named "Ling Yue," and like the Illusionary King, she comes from the "Chimei Race."
The Chimei Race is one of the most powerful Cosmic Humans. They are born with the ability to create illusions, making them well-suited for the path of "illusionists".
This girl named "Ling Yue" is one of the most talented in the history of the Chimei Race, and therefore she is personally taught by the Illusionary King, who holds a very high position in the Chimei Race.
Lin Yan didn't need to ask any further questions to know that it couldn't be anyone else.
However... while the rules of the Illusionary King are rules, Lin Xiao's teacher, the "King Xuan Jing," is also a near- Invincible Feng Wang. If he were to step in for his disciple, there would always be a solution to this matter.
It's not that the teacher is unwilling to help.
Lin Xiao's expression was a bit strange. "It's just that the rule that disciples are not allowed to have romantic relationships seems to be related to my teacher. When the Illusionary King found out about my relationship with Ling Yue, he was furious. To this day, I haven't even been qualified to pay him a visit."
Good heavens!
Lin Yan's brows were furrowed with worry.
He pondered that if Lin Xiao, a peerless genius as dazzling as the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, dared to challenge the Glory Tongtian Mountain, there was no reason why the Illusionary King wouldn't know what kind of achievements he would have in the future.
It's no wonder that there was such a personal grudge involved.
Looking at his expression, Lin Xiao calmly said, "Don't worry, I can handle it."
"I believe you can handle it, but I already know all about it, how can I just sit idly by?" Lin Yan shook his head and smiled.
"But in this situation, Dad, how are you going to intervene?" Lin Xiao frowned slightly, puzzled.
He knew that his father was hailed as the strongest genius among humankind, and had even conquered the World Lord level Original Tongtian Mountain, achieving extraordinary accomplishments. If it weren't for the "King Xuan Jing" incident, things would be fine, but now that he wanted to step forward, it might be of some use, but it would be very difficult.
Lin Yan looked at Lin Xiao and calmly said, "I only have one question for you: Do you two truly love each other? Are you sure she will firmly choose you?"
"I don't want to put in all this effort only to end up with a farce."
Feelings can sometimes be so strong that you'd go through fire and water for someone, but at other times they simply can't withstand the test.
It was for this reason that Lin Yan never considered changing Hong and Ji Qing's fate, as that would be wishful thinking.
Lin Xiao looked at his father and remained silent for a moment.
He nodded emphatically at the end. "I believe, I firmly believe, and as long as I'm still holding on, she's unlikely to give up!"
Those eyes were very bright.
It seems to contain the stars of the sky.
Looking at the light in his eyes, Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. In one's life, to meet someone who can make one's resolve unwavering is a rare stroke of luck.
He smiled and said, "Then send her an email and say..."
"King Xuanyuan, I request an audience!"
