Joining Shaking Light, Radiant Divine Body

The entrance to the Shaking Light Sacred Land was a sea of people, bustling with excitement.

Countless young hopefuls had traveled from all corners of the Eastern Wasteland, eager to be selected by the Shaking Light Sacred Land and join its ranks.

Some were youths from the dozens of kingdoms under the Shaking Light's rule; others were rogue cultivators who had luckily inherited ancient legacies and wished to join the Shaking Light Sacred Land to further their cultivation.

The Shaking Light Sacred Land held selections for Immortal Seeds periodically. On the first day alone, hundreds of thousands of youths gathered, and with the selection process lasting seven days, one could only imagine the sheer number of people who would come.

Just joining the Shaking Light Sacred Land meant becoming a cultivator capable of soaring through the skies, burrowing through the earth, and attaining eternal life – a prospect that many envied.

Among the crowd stood a young man who stood out like a crane among chickens. His face was sculpted like beautiful jade, his eyes were dark and lively, and his skin was as fine as mutton-fat jade. His demeanor was ethereal, pure, and transcendent, embodying the vigor and innocence of youth.

He stood tall and straight in the crowd, facing the gazes directed at him with a calm and composed expression, showing no sign of awkwardness.

Before long, from the countless floating peaks of the Shaking Light Sacred Land, an elder appeared with seven or eight disciples. The elder's gaze swept over the noisy scene, his expression stern as he roared, "Silence!"

The sound was like a great bell, instantly quieting the crowd.

Then, he conjured a purple bronze mirror. The mirror shimmered with precious light; it was a Sacred Lord Weapon. This bronze mirror possessed a miraculous ability: it could penetrate a person's Sea of Suffering and was specifically used to test aptitude.

The bronze mirror grew against the wind, instantly becoming ten feet tall and standing firmly before the mountain gate. The mirror cast down a clear light, and the Shaking Light elder announced loudly:

"You will divide into groups of a hundred and pass through the clear light beneath the bronze mirror in order. If your image appears in the bronze mirror, you will proceed to the next stage; if not, you will be eliminated. No shouting is allowed during the process!"

Hearing this, everyone obediently formed lines and passed under the bronze mirror in order.

Whenever an Immortal Seed with good aptitude passed through, the bronze mirror would react. A purple beam of light would appear above the Immortal Seed's head, and their image would clearly emerge on the bronze mirror.

Soon, it was Lin Yu's turn to enter the detection range of the bronze mirror. The clear light entered his Sea of Suffering, like fine threads.

"Buzz!"

The bronze mirror reacted, suddenly emitting a brilliant light and buzzing loudly.

The elder was startled at first, then overjoyed: "Special aptitude detected!"

He quickly flew to Lin Yu's side, pulled him onto the high platform, and then personally examined Lin Yu's Sea of Suffering carefully.

Within Lin Yu's Sea of Suffering, a majestic aura surged, Divine Power surging like mighty waves. Platinum-gold light radiated, permeated with a sacred and pure aura, like radiance from the celestial realm.

"Could it be the Radiant Divine Body?" The elder was ecstatic, feeling as though a pie had fallen from the sky.

At this moment, he no longer paid attention to the others. He pulled Lin Yu and flew towards the Sacred Land, leaving only a single instruction: "Maintain order. My junior brother will come shortly to guide the Immortal Seeds into the sect."

There was no other way; a Divine Body was simply too important. If he were slow, others might hear about it and come to snatch him away. Perhaps those intending to snatch him were already on their way.

If a Divine Body were intercepted by others because of his slow actions, his master would surely beat him to death.

The Shaking Light elder transformed into a Divine Rainbow, speeding along until he quickly arrived before the palace of their lineage's Grand Elder.

This Grand Elder was named Zhang Lingxu. He was the senior brother of the current Yaoguang Holy Lord and possessed profound cultivation at the Immortal Platform Second Heaven. The elder who had just tested Lin Yu, Liang Jing, was his disciple. Liang Jing was also a Half-step Great Power at the Immortal Platform First Heaven.

Although Zhang Lingxu's hair and beard were white, he was full of vigor, and the fluctuations of aura within his body were like a deep, unfathomable ocean.

After hearing Liang Jing's report, he came before Lin Yu, extended his palm, and gently probed Lin Yu's Sea of Suffering, sensing carefully, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression.

After a moment, he slowly raised his head and said, "The Divine Power in the Sea of Suffering is indeed of the light attribute, and a portion of the potential doors in the body have been opened. This matches the characteristics of the Radiant Divine Body recorded in the ancient texts."

The Divine Elephant's Prison Technique that Lin Yu cultivated inherently possessed the light attribute. Furthermore, the Dominator had created existences like the Primordial Era angels, and the Demon God Seal contained his Source. Therefore, Lin Yu had no difficulty faking the Radiant Divine Body.

"Excellent! Our lineage will finally produce a dragon!" Liang Jing exclaimed excitedly upon hearing the Grand Elder's confirmation.

His lineage hadn't produced an outstanding disciple in many years. Their most promising successor was only in the middle ranks of the Candidate Holy Sons.

It was precisely for this reason that his master had sent him to select entry-level disciples, hoping to discover some hidden gems. He never expected to stumble upon Lin Yu, this "great treasure."

The Grand Elder also couldn't hide his joy. The position of Shaking Light Holy Son was currently vacant. With Lin Yu's Radiant Divine Body physique, it wouldn't be long before the position of Holy Son would likely be within his grasp.

Then, he asked Lin Yu kindly, "Good child, what is your name?" Given his age, calling Lin Yu a child was perfectly appropriate.

Lin Yu calmly replied, "My name is Yang Xuan. Yang as in poplar tree, Xuan as in profound."

"Yang Xuan, that's a good name. Profound and more profound, the gate to all wonders. It seems you are naturally destined for cultivation," Liang Jing couldn't help but praise from the side.

Lin Yu thought to himself, Alright, if you say so, I have no objections.

"Are you willing to join our lineage?" the elder asked gently and seriously.

"Of course. I came here precisely to join the Shaking Light Sacred Land and eventually take over the position of Holy Lord!" Lin Yu replied with a calm and steady expression, showing no panic.

He had come to Shaking Light for only two things: compete for the Holy Son position, and then take over as Holy Lord, leading Shaking Light to the peak of its potential.

Zhang Lingxu looked at Lin Yu, who had the fearlessness of a newborn calf, and slowly said, "To take over as Holy Lord, you must cultivate to at least the Immortal Platform Second Heaven. You should first break through the Dao Palace Secret Realm and compete for the Candidate Holy Son position."

"Is the Dao Palace Secret Realm very strong? When I was training in the Northern Region, I took on a few small sects that were causing trouble. Their strongest members were only at the Dao Palace Secret Realm."

Lin Yu said nonchalantly, as if in his eyes, the Dao Palace Secret Realm was nothing special.

Zhang Lingxu shook his head slightly. The Dao Palace Secret Realm cultivators from those small sects were simply incomparable to the disciples of a Sacred Land.

However, he didn't want to dampen the young man's enthusiasm. Instead, he turned to Liang Jing and said:

"Take Yang Xuan to your palace to reside. Once he receives the cultivation techniques, you will be responsible for guiding his cultivation."

The meaning of these words was clear: Liang Jing was to keep a close eye on Lin Yu, this great treasure, and make sure he wasn't lured away by those flashy and vulgar individuals outside. He should also cultivate a good relationship with Lin Yu.

Then, he spoke to Lin Yu, "If you have any questions about cultivation in the future, you can also come to me."

Liang Jing instantly understood his master's meaning. He then led Lin Yu out of the palace and returned to his own residence.
