Myriad Ages in an Instant

Azure Cloud Realm!

Southern Domain!

Within the Divine Firmament Holy Land's floating dojo, the nine stone pillars used for testing aptitude shone with dazzling light, five of which suddenly turned golden.

"Zhang Tao, fifth-grade physique, acceptable for entry into the Holy Land's outer sect."

The outer sect elder sat to the side, sipping fragrant tea as he spoke blandly.

"Fifth-grade! Hahaha, my aptitude actually reached fifth-grade! No need to suffer in the menial labor area, I can directly enter the Divine Firmament Holy Land's outer sect, a single step to the heavens!"

Zhang Tao's face was filled with excitement.

"Young Master Zhang is awesome!"

"Young Master Zhang, you must look after us in the future!"

"Young Master Zhang, we're all from Clearwater Town, you can't forget about us!"

Complimentary voices rang out from the surroundings, while the others cast envious glances at the youths from Clearwater Town.

Zhang Tao turned his head and looked over, his face full of smugness.

However, when his gaze landed on a young man and a young woman, his eyes immediately turned sinister.

"Lin Xuan, I will kill you sooner or later."

"Yu Bing, you better not die; you will eventually be my, Zhang Tao's, plaything."

The young man, Lin Xuan, had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, with handsome features. His plain clothes couldn't hide the sharp aura around him.

The young woman, Yu Bing, had eyes like stars. Although only fifteen years old, she had already grown into a graceful young woman with hair like a waterfall of black silk and a face as beautiful as a celestial being, unlike anyone from the mortal world.

"Brother Lin Xuan, Zhang Tao actually has a fifth-grade aptitude and is directly entering the outer sect. I, we..."

Yu Bing looked at Zhang Tao walking towards the outer sect disciples' camp, feeling uneasy.

"Don't worry, our aptitude might not be worse than his. Perhaps we can directly enter the inner sect."

Lin Xuan comforted Yu Bing, but he was secretly amazed.

In the Azure Cloud Realm, physique aptitude is divided into nine grades, with first-grade being the lowest and ninth-grade being the highest.

The Divine Firmament Holy Land accepts disciples with fourth-grade aptitude or higher directly into the outer sect, and sixth-grade aptitude or higher directly into the inner sect.

Those below fourth-grade can only be considered barely capable of cultivation and can enter the menial labor area to become a menial worker.

If they manage to achieve something in cultivation in the future, they can also enter the outer and inner sects. However, if they don't reach the corresponding realm within a year, they will be expelled from the Holy Land and will never have the chance to enter the Holy Land again.

Fifth-grade aptitude isn't considered genius-level, but as long as one enters the outer sect and obtains a Body Tempering Pill, they can immediately shed their mortal body and embark on the path of immortality.

At that time, their status will be vastly different from that of ordinary people.

"Heh... Lin Xuan, what are you? A butcher, daring to compare yourself to Young Master Zhang?"

"That's right, you killed Young Master Zhang's guard on the road, making you mortal enemies. You are already a dead man."

"Hmph... Relying on killing pigs for a few years and developing some mundane skills, you indeed have the capital to be arrogant in front of ordinary people. But in front of Young Master Zhang, who is about to embark on the path of immortality, you are not even an ant, understand?"

"If you know what's good for you, offer Yu Bing to Young Master Zhang now, and then kowtow and apologize. Young Master Zhang might leave you with a complete corpse."

The youths from Clearwater Town all spoke up in mockery.

Lin Xuan frowned and looked at them indifferently: "Do you want to die?"

His low voice spread out, and the group of youths immediately took several steps back, their faces turning pale, but they dared not say another word.

To be honest, they were still a little afraid of Lin Xuan.

After all, Lin Xuan had killed Zhang Tao's guard directly in front of them, without the slightest hesitation.

"Tch!"

"A bunch of cowards!"

Lin Xuan spat disdainfully, pulled Yu Bing to the side, and didn't bother to associate with these people.

In fact, Lin Xuan had never taken these people seriously.

To him, these people were just a bunch of kids.

Ten years ago, he was brought to this Azure Cloud Realm by the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, his body regressing to the state of a six-year-old child, falling into Clearwater Lake.

Just as he was about to drown, Yu Bing, who was five years old at the time, saved him.

Although Yu Bing was only five years old then, Lin Xuan was still shocked by Yu Bing's beauty.

That beauty, which seemed to possess three parts of the allure of an enchantress, immediately made Lin Xuan have the wicked idea of marrying her as his wife in the future.

For ten years, the two could be said to have been inseparable, and they had already established a deep relationship. Lin Xuan had even managed to fool Yu Bing into thinking that she would not marry anyone but him.

Unfortunately, Yu Bing had suffered from a strange illness since she was a child. Every full moon night, she would feel cold all over her body. Now, it was getting out of control. The last time she fell ill, she showed signs of being in critical condition.

The old doctor in town said that perhaps only within the Immortal Sects would there be a solution.

Coincidentally, the Divine Firmament Holy Land was widely accepting disciples, so Lin Xuan brought Yu Bing here.

On the way, Zhang Tao, the second young master of the Zhang family in town, wanted to plot against Yu Bing, but he was stopped by Lin Xuan, who even killed his guard, thus forming a feud.

"To be honest, Zhang Tao awakening a Grade Five physique is a bit enviable, but it doesn't matter. With the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, as long as I get the chance to cultivate, I will definitely dominate one day."

Lin Xuan thought to himself after he and Yu Bing moved away from the crowd in Clearwater Town.

The Soul Suppressing Pagoda had been residing deep within his mind, and the first level, Myriad Ages in an Instant, had already been activated.

The reason he went to slaughter pigs was because of the characteristic of Myriad Ages in an Instant.

Myriad Ages in an Instant allowed him to plunder the time of living beings after killing them.

And Lin Xuan could fully utilize this time, and no matter how long it was, it would only take an instant inside Myriad Ages in an Instant.

Over the years, by slaughtering pigs and forcibly seizing decades of time, Lin Xuan had honed his physique and the pig-slaughtering knife technique he had developed to the extreme.

This was also why he was able to kill Zhang Tao's bodyguards, who were trained martial artists.

He firmly believed that as long as he had a cultivation method, even if his aptitude was a little lacking, it wouldn't matter. He would eventually reach the so-called ultimate of the Immortal Path.

Moreover, the Soul Suppressing Pagoda had a full nine levels. The first level already possessed such a perverted characteristic, so how heaven-defying would the following eight levels be?

"However, I'm not a native of this world. I don't know if I can even test for cultivation aptitude."

Lin Xuan wasn't without some worries. His body wasn't a native of this world, but a genuine descendant of the Yan and Huang lineage from Earth's China.

"Next!"

Just then, the voice of the outer sect elder rang out, his gaze falling on Yu Bing and Lin Xuan at the same time.

"Little Yu'er, you go first. Enter the Immortal Gate, cure the stubborn illness on your body, and when you come of age, be your brother's woman."

Lin Xuan said to Yu Bing.

Yu Bing's pretty face flushed red: "Brother Lin Xuan is a bad egg."

After spitting, Yu Bing nervously walked towards the very center of the nine stone pillars.

"Close your eyes and feel!"

The outer sect elder's voice spread out, and Yu Bing followed his instructions, gently closing her eyes.

In the next second, a dazzling light rose beneath her feet, and the nine stone pillars suddenly flickered with dazzling golden light.

"Rumble!"

The sky suddenly darkened, and a mystical phenomenon of ice and snow penetrated the illusion and reflected in the real world.

"Clang!"

The jade teacup in the outer sect elder's hand fell to the ground, and he stood up with a 'whoosh', exclaiming in excitement with a face full of excitement.

"Heaven and earth phenomenon, peerless talent..."

Yu Bing
