Hundred Dynasties Champion, Great Flame Lin Dong!

"Although this request is unfair to you, I still want to ask you to promise me that you will not join the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace, just to save me some face."

The Green-clothed Graceful Figure took a deep breath and spoke calmly.

"Okay, I promise you."

Lin Dong suddenly smiled gently and agreed without thinking.

"Hey, my mind is in a mess right now. I'll give you an answer next time... next time."

With Youyou sigh, the beauty gazed deeply at Lin Dong with her clear eyes before gracefully turning and leaving. The enormous Green Lotus then dispersed, making way for its mistress.

The long-closed Azure Sky Lotus finally opened again, and no one knew what Lin Dong and Ling Qingzhu talked about inside.

Seeing that the danger had passed, Ling Qingzhu simply left the palace disciples to meet with the sect elders and hurriedly returned to the palace on her own.

As Lin Dong flew back to the original spot, Liu Tong and the other eight people still looked at him with complicated expressions.

"Good lad, you actually dared to lay a hand on the next Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace. I underestimated you."

Wu Dao's lips twitched slightly as he secretly transmitted his voice to Lin Dong.

"Sit down, sit down, these are basic procedures."

Lin Dong appeared to be completely obedient, keeping his eyes and mouth closed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no point in continuing this year's Nirvana Golden Ranking Battle. I think that after this battle, the champion of the Hundred Dynasties War should be a foregone conclusion."

Wu Dao's eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his voice and spoke.

"Yes, the champion of the Hundred Dynasties War should be Great Flame Lin Dong!"

Liu Tong and his six companions exchanged glances and nodded in unison. Even the powerful figures from various Dynasties in the plaza below seemed to take it all for granted.

Destroy the Great Spatial Teleportation Array, shatter the Rune Cage, rescue the eight Wu Dao, kill two Life Mysterious Stage experts from the Western Xuan Region with a single punch, seize the Heaven Sealing Array Map, the Sect-Protecting Treasure of the Western Xuan Sect, and thwart the Western Xuan Region's conspiracy...

Each of these achievements, taken individually, would be enough for any dynasty's son to reach the top of the championship, and now Lin Dong has accomplished them all.

As for the tradition that the Hundred Dynasties Champion would most likely be from the direct line of the Yuan Sect Sky Origin Dynasty, the top of the Ten Great Super Dynasties —no one paid any attention to it. The Yuan Sect was able to suppress the other Seven Great Sects not because of tradition, but because of its overwhelming strength.

Qin Tian is utterly hopeless, so he deserves to be eliminated.

"Alright, now it's time for our Hundred Dynasties Champion to choose a sect. Lin Dong, which of our eight major sects would you like to join?"

The Wu Dao in hempen robes spoke softly and gently, exuding an air of otherworldly grace.

However, if someone familiar with Wu Dao saw this scene, they would know that Wu Dao was exuding a kind of "Get out of the way, this old Daoist is about to show off" kind of swagger.

"My Yuan Sect is the leader of the Super Sect in the Eastern Xuan Region, the head of the Eight Great Super Sects. We have as many as three Samsara Stage experts who suppress the sect's foundation. All the Hundred Dynasties Champion have joined my Yuan Sect. If you join the Yuan Sect, you will definitely not regret it."

Liu Tong had no doubts about the relationship between Wu Dao and Lin Dong, believing that Wu Dao shared the same thoughts as the other seven and wanted to bring Lin Dong back to their sect.

"Young friend Lin Dong, I see that you seem to have a past with my Young Palace Mistress. If you wish to see the Young Palace Mistress every day in the future and reminisce about the past, joining my Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace would be a good choice."

The beautiful middle-aged woman from the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace turned her beautiful eyes and immediately spoke gracefully.

"... Elder, do you know how Young Palace Mistress you are?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong's eye twitched imperceptibly.

Tsk, in order to bring the Hundred Dynasties Champion back to the sect, they would even sell their own Young Palace Mistress.

"Young Lin Dong, what do you think of my suggestion? My Divine Sect has tens of millions of high-level Mental Secret Technique, which you can choose from."

"Lin Dong, it seems you've cultivated a powerful Body Tempering Martial Arts. Your physical strength is quite impressive. We, the entire Primeval Desolation Hall, love muscular men like you. Come on, let's have some fun at our Primeval Desolation Hall!"

"Wait, I, Talisman Valley, am also..."

The elders of the Super Sect all came down to the stage, extending invitations to Lin Dong and offering various generous conditions and benefits.

Well, young friend, don't misunderstand. Whether or not we can obtain the Upper Grade Pure Yuan Treasure Heaven Sealing Array Map is not important. We are mainly interested in you as the champion of the Hundred Dynasties War.

"Elders, Lin Dong already has a destination in mind."

After listening quietly to the conditions offered by the eight people, Lin Dong slowly spoke, and the voices of the eight Life Mysterious Stage experts came to an abrupt halt.

"Please speak, young friend Lin Dong."

Liu Tong smiled amiably, appearing confident and in control.

In his view, Lin Dong's choice must be his Yuan Sect.

After all, the champions of previous Hundred Dynasties War all came from the Yuan Sect's direct lineage, the Sky Origin Dynasty. Even if there were occasional mistakes and a champion was not from the Yuan Sect's direct lineage, they were still willing to join the Yuan Sect, the top of the Eight Great Super Sects, and would go to the strongest.

"Lin Dong is going to the Dao Sect."

Lin Dong nodded politely to Liu Tong and said leisurely.

Hmm, this Yuan Sect expert is indeed quite good. Even though I can't join the Yuan Sect, he's still so kind and gentle to me.

"Hmm, young friend Lin Dong, you've chosen our Yuan... wait, Lin Dong, what did you just say? You want to join that Super Sect?"

Liu Tong's smile suddenly froze, and he fell silent, staring intently at Lin Dong.

"Steward Liu Tong, Lin Dong wants to join the Dao Sect."

"In fact, Elder Wu Dao had already contacted Lin Dong before entering the core area. From then on, Lin Dong was already considered an internal disciple of the Dao Sect, the fifth True Disciple of the Dao Sect's Desolate Hall."

Lin Dong looked at Liu Tong strangely. What's wrong, little brother? You can't handle praise. Your mental fortitude needs improvement.

"Martial Uncle Wu Dao, you agree, right?"

At this point, Lin Dong cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Wu Dao.

These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.

Lin Dong was already a pre-selected disciple of the Dao Sect?

In the past, only the sons of the direct descendants of the Eight Great Super Sects could enjoy such an honor. For example, only a handful of people, such as Qin Tian of the Sky Origin Dynasty, Lan Ying of the Immortal Dynasty, and Ji Shan of the Great Desolate Dynasty, could enjoy such an honor.

I never expected that the son of a Low-Level Dynasty could receive such treatment.

However, after thinking it over, the people from the various Dynasties were relieved. Lin Dong's exceptional talent deserved such treatment, which was perfectly justified.

"It was already decided beforehand? Damn it, then all our efforts were wasted!"

The elders of the Six Great Sects, including the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace and the Divine Sect, were speechless with anger upon hearing this.

Dao Sect ranks in the middle among the Eight Great Super Sects of the Eastern Xuan Region, neither high nor low, and is a rather mediocre Super Sect.

Although most of the disciples are elites and some ruthless individuals occasionally emerge, the small number of disciples prevents the Dao Sect from significantly improving its overall strength, and it has remained relatively unknown.

Therefore, the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace and other sects, which claimed to be stronger Dao Sect, could only secretly think to themselves, "The Old Man Wudao just got lucky," and then there was nothing they could do.

After all, no amount of icing on the cake can compare to providing timely help in times of need.
