Realms Sword Saint

Lin Xuan was not actually from Tianxuan Continent, but a transmigrator.

When he had first arrived in this world, although he possessed a divine sword that seemingly only he could wield, Lin Xuan had still felt somewhat uneasy.

The world of Martial Universe was exceedingly dangerous. Lin Xuan did not want to be swallowed whole by a Demonic Alien one day.

Thus, when he turned ten and was more or less able to begin cultivating, Lin Xuan had planned to head to Qingyang Town and obtain Tianxuan Continent's greatest opportunity—the Ancestral Stone.

But just as Lin Xuan was preparing to set off, the system suddenly appeared.

Realms Sword Saint System. That was the system's name.

However, this did not affect Lin Xuan's plans. The more opportunities, the better. With the system in hand and the Ancestral Stone's aid, he would have both wings taking flight and greater confidence in establishing himself in this dangerous world.

Yet the system's first mission was incomparably strange: comprehend the Sword Heart! Moreover, unless he comprehended the Sword Heart, Lin Xuan would be unable to leave Lin City.

If he forcibly left, the system would deem it an abandonment of the sword path and reclaim Lin Xuan's Nameless Divine Sword, as well as his talent for the sword path.

Lin Xuan had also learned about this divine sword from the system. It had no name, yet its rank far surpassed every spiritual treasure in this world. Of course, how much power it could unleash depended on Lin Xuan's own understanding of the sword path.

According to the system, if Lin Xuan could attain the realm of the Ancient Eight Rulers in the sword path, then aside from the Plane of Origin, which bore the burden of the earth, not even the Ancestral Stone could withstand the power of the nameless sword. With enough attacks, it could still be forcibly cleaved apart!

Moreover, Lin Xuan's physique was exceptionally special. He possessed an Innate Sword Physique and had been born to practice the sword.

It was precisely because Lin Xuan's physique was so extraordinary that the system had skipped over those martial arts worlds. Claiming it was to avoid wasting Lin Xuan's talent, it had brought him directly into the world of Martial Universe.

Therefore, Lin Xuan could only honestly enter seclusion in Lin City. It took a full five years before he truly comprehended the Sword Heart and entered the gate of the sword path.

And once he had entered the sword path, Lin Xuan naturally no longer needed the Ancestral Stone. Only an opportunity suited to oneself could be called one's opportunity. One that did not suit oneself would only obstruct one's path.

There had never been a strongest sword in the world, only the strongest swordsman! Likewise, there was no strongest path in this world, only the strongest cultivator!

Lin Xuan quickly composed himself, shook his head slightly, and said softly.

"I merely recalled some past events."

But the next moment, Lin Xuan's gaze sharpened. With a wave of his right hand, a solid three-foot sword instantly flew toward the square.

"Buzz!"

Lin Langtian, who stood in the arena, raised his hand and unleashed a full-force palm strike at Lin Xiao, who was merely at the late Heavenly Yuan Realm. Before the terrifying Origin Power fluctuations even descended, they had already scattered Lin Xiao's attack.

If this palm strike landed, Lin Xiao, who was only at the late Heavenly Yuan Realm, would be crippled even if he survived. Lin Zhentian and the others watching nearby were filled with shock as well.

But at that moment, a Three Feet Long Sword suddenly descended and planted itself directly before Lin Xiao.

"Bang!"

Lin Langtian's palm struck the Three Feet Long Sword before Lin Xiao directly. The violent Origin Power fluctuations crashed against the sword, erupting with terrifying force.

Lin Xiao, caught at the center, was sent flying by the Origin Power shockwave. Before he even hit the ground, he had already spat out several mouthfuls of blood. Had that palm strike truly landed, Lin Xiao would likely have been crippled on the spot.

Lin Zhentian and the others hurried forward, helped Lin Xiao up, and took him away, afraid that Lin Langtian would strike again.

However, Lin Langtian no longer had any mind to spare for those branch family members, who were nothing in his eyes. Instead, he swept his gaze over the surroundings and said coldly.

"Who was it? Get over here!"

At this moment, many of the elders also recovered from the sudden turn of events. Some elders standing nearby immediately turned their gazes toward Lin Xuan and shouted solemnly.

"Lin Xuan, you dare violate the Clan Gathering rules and interfere in the match. Do you think that just because the clan chief protects you, you can act however you please?"

"Indeed. You refused to participate in this Clan Gathering when permitted to do so, yet now you dare interfere without authorization. Do you know your crime?"

"..."

After hearing the elders' words, Lin Langtian also turned his gaze toward Lin Xuan, his eyes carrying a trace of chilling killing intent.

After just one exchange, Lin Langtian had realized that Lin Xuan was now far stronger than he was. That solid Origin Power was clearly something only an expert above the Shaping Realm could achieve.

"Hmph, violating clan rules in public and causing the Lin Clan to lose all face. He should be expelled from the clan!"

Lin Langtian's intentions were vicious. Once Lin Xuan was expelled from the Lin Clan, he could have certain elders secretly intercept and kill him. Then, no one would remain to threaten him.

Facing the accusations of the elders standing on Lin Langtian's side, Lin Xuan's expression remained unchanged. Only after they had finished speaking did he calmly look at Lin Langtian.

"Lin Xuan had no intention of interfering in the match. I merely fulfilled my duty."

"Duty?"

One elder looked uncertainly at Lin Mu beside him. The latter's expression did not change in the slightest, yet he showed no intention of speaking.

"The Clan Gathering is meant for clan members to spar and compete, yet you sought to cripple another's meridians outright. Using such ruthless methods against a fellow clansman, do you still hold the clan in your eyes?"

Lin Xuan did not even spare those profit-driven elders a glance. He merely looked calmly at Lin Langtian and spoke unhurriedly.

"Without asking the reason, without examining cause and effect, without distinguishing right from wrong, you immediately heap grave crimes upon others in an attempt to eliminate dissidents. With the Enforcement Team under your command, it is truly laughable!"

"Furthermore, since the elders claim that I did not participate in the Clan Gathering, have you all forgotten that it was you elders who jointly proposed giving the younger clan members a chance to stand out, prohibiting all clan members in the Creation Three Realms from participating in the Clan Gathering?"

As his gaze fell upon the elders, Lin Xuan still emitted no obvious aura fluctuations. Yet the expressions of those elders, who were merely in the Shaping Realm and Qi Creation Realm, subtly changed.

They could feel an invisible pressure slowly settling onto their shoulders, leaving their chests heavy and making it difficult to breathe.

And the source of that pressure was not Great Elder Lin Mu standing beside Lin Xuan!
