Annihilating the Endless Fire Domain and the Grand Opportunity Slot

Seeing Lei Buping's conceding attitude, Lin Yi didn't take it to heart.

Among the Twelve Town Guardians, Lei Buping is known for his poor interpersonal relationships and often mocks people.

In the entire Tongguan Prefecture, only the Prefecture Lord and a few deputy Prefecture Lord could keep Lei Buping's foul mouth in check.

The official who led Lin Yi into the Tongguan Prefecture gestured for Lin Yi to sit down, then stood on the high platform and turned to face the Twelve Town Guardians.

The twelve people immediately sat up straight, their expressions becoming serious.

The Prefecture Lord white hair, though old, showed no signs of stooping. His eyes seemed to flash with lightning as he scanned the crowd before slowly speaking, "Now that everyone is here, let's get down to business."

"Just two days ago, the Fifth Tong Pass was breached by the Monster of the Endless Fire Domain, resulting in tens of thousands of casualties in the Ancient Domain, including You Huoli, who was severely injured..."

After saying this, Prefecture Lord paused for a moment, then continued, "Although several Martial Saint from the Ancient Domain intervened and repelled the Five-clawed Dark Dragon Demon God, the fall of Tong Pass and the massacre of the people of the Ancient Domain are unprecedented events."

"The reason I summoned you all here is to use the power of the Twelve Town Guardians of the Nile to break through the endless Lava Fire Domain and eliminate the Monster and the Great Fiend gods within."

Upon hearing the words of the Prefecture Lord, many of the Twelve Town Guardians nodded slightly.

The fall of Tong Pass was a huge scandal for Tongguan Prefecture, so it was normal for Tongguan Prefecture to want to get revenge.

At this moment, First Tong Pass Guardian Fu Feng, cupped his hands and stood up, saying, "My Prefecture Lord, it is said that there are three Yao God in the Endless Fire Domain. The leader of them, the Five-Clawed Dark Dragon, is Heaven-Piercing Demon God who has mastered a first-class fire Domain. Although all twelve of us are Martial Saint and have the Tong Pass hand, it will probably not be easy to kill it in the Fire Domain."

Qian Xuan, the second Tong Pass Guardian, chimed in, "Indeed, Your Prefecture Lord, that dragon demon's Domain can mobilize the entire Endless Fire Domain. Within the Fire Domain, no one is its match."

"We may be able to annihilate all the Monster in the Fire Domain this time, but if that Heaven-Piercing Demon God Undying, all our efforts will be in vain once it recovers its strength."

"I thought that revenge could be postponed..."

Clearly, neither the first Second Town Guardian was willing to immediately retaliate against the Endless Fire Domain.

Among the Twelve Town Guardians, Fufeng and Qian Xuan are both veteran Garrison Commander.

In particular, Fufeng, the first Garrison Commander, had served as the Tong Pass Guardian for three terms in two weeks, so his seniority was undoubtedly considerable.

It is said that once he breaks through to the eighth realm Martial Saint and fully masters a perfect Domain, he can take over the position of Deputy Prefecture Lord.

But upon hearing what the two said, Prefecture Lord said only, "There is no room for discussion on this matter. The Endless Fire Domain must be destroyed, and not a single Monster within it should be spared."

First Garrison Commander Fufeng raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Do we have any helpers?"

"No, there are only the twelve of you."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room fell silent.

Although Twelve Town Guardians were Martial Saint, their realms varied. The highest-ranking Garrison Commander, Fufeng, was only at the Martial Saint Seventh Realm, having reached the Great Perfection of his Domain.

As for the weakest, they are probably those who have just entered the Martial Saint Martial Saint First Realm.

Even the strongest among them might not be a match for the Five-Clawed Dark Dragon of the Endless Fire Domain.

The garrison Garrison Commander Yang Fan couldn't help but say, "Prefecture Lord, with only twelve of us, I'm afraid it won't be enough to destroy the Endless Fire Domain."

The Prefecture Lord shook his head. "This matter was not decided by me alone, but by the suggestion of the major families of the Ancient Domain. On the surface, it is a test for you Twelve Town Guardians, so I only look at the conclusion and not ask about the process. Also, the person who performs the best in this operation will not only become the deputy Prefecture Lord, but Tongguan Prefecture will also reward you with a great opportunity."

The Tenth Town Guardian Kun Haotian, couldn't help but brighten up. "Prefecture Lord, so this is a Trial?"

The Prefecture Lord did not answer, but continued, "The second thing I summoned you for is to pay attention to the Born One."

Born One?

Lin Yi, who was leaning against the hard stone chair, suddenly became serious.

The eighth and ninth Garrison Commander spoke up, saying, "Prefecture Lord, what do these Born One with us? Some Born One did appear outside my Tong Pass a while ago, but their strength was terribly weak."

"Yes, I once captured a Born One from some Blue Star called Eastern Ying and interrogated him. He said that the strongest Born One in their Eastern Ying was only Three-star Martial Artist. You know, the soldiers guarding our city are all Three-star Martial Artist. I don't think Born One a threat."

The prefect's gaze swept over the two, and he said in a deep voice, "Although the newly born beings are weak, they are growing rapidly. Tongguan Prefecture must cooperate with the various families of the Ancient Domain to eliminate all newly born beings that approach the Ancient Domain. Furthermore, it is strictly forbidden for any secret techniques or inheritances from outside the Ancient Domain to flow into the newly born beings. Anyone found violating this rule will be punished for betraying the Ancient Domain..."

Upon seeing the stern tone of the Prefecture Lord, the Twelve Town Guardians of the town immediately expressed their opinions.

"Yes, we will certainly comply!"

Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh inwardly; he hadn't expected the Ancient Domain to have such a hostile attitude towards the Born One.

It seems he still has to play the role of Qin Jian here, and cannot reveal his Born One.

However, Lin Yi was also curious about the reason why the Ancient Domain was so resistant to the Born One.

"The third thing is that the Trial realm is about to open. My Tongguan Prefecture has two final spots. I am old and weak, so I don't plan to go this time. I have already promised to reserve one spot for Vice Prefecture Lord Yuanshi. The other spot will depend on who among you can destroy the Endless Fire Domain. The great opportunity I mentioned earlier is this spot."

Hearing this, many Garrison Commander in the area became excited.

Prefecture Lord hurriedly summoned everyone back to deal with the Endless Fire Domain, as it turned out that they had set up a quota for the Trial Realm.

Lin Yi, Garrison Commander without much background, looked puzzled.

Trial Realm?

What place is this?

Lin Yi recalled that Nangong Ling and Saint Shanhe had mentioned that there was a special Ancient Secret Realm in Martial Saint City, where most Martial Saint gathered. Could this be the secret realm that the Mansion Master was talking about?

Since he didn't know, Lin Yi asked, "May I ask, Mansion Master, what exactly is this Trial realm you mentioned?"

Before the Mansion Master could speak, Lei Buping's gaze fell upon them first, and he smiled inexplicably, "I almost forgot, we have Garrison Commander among us who has just been promoted to Martial Saint. Let me, Lord Lei, explain it to you. This Trial realm has been passed down from ancient times, and its origin is unknown. It is filled with the power of the origin of heaven and earth, which can help people at the sixth and seventh realm Martial Saint to comprehend their Domain."

"As for the final spot in the secret realm, it is the most mysterious place in the center of the secret realm, which is said to be connected to a Supreme Land and contains a great opportunity to break through to the Martial Saint Nine Realms."

Finally, Lei Buping waved his hand and said, "Qin Jian, you are still just a minor figure in the first realm. Just listen and don't even think about entering there."

Lin Yi nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your explanation, Commander Qin, but I am not Martial Saint First Realm."

"Not even at the Martial Saint First Realm? What a joke! You only broke through to Martial Saint a few days ago..."

Lei Buping's lips curled into a mocking smile once again. Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly froze, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

On the stone chair, Lin Yi's body was filled with Yi Yang True Qi, exuding the powerful aura of the Martial Saint Sixth Realm.

"Martial Saint Sixth Realm? How is that possible? Did you perhaps Flesh Ascension? No, no, even if you did Flesh Ascension, you're at most Martial Saint Level Four..."

Lei Buping's mouth was a little slurred.

Inside the main hall, not only Lei Buping showed a shocked expression, but the other Garrison Commander also had different expressions, their faces full of surprise.

With the Martial Saint Sixth Realm Perfection, even among the Twelve Town Guardians, he would rank in the upper-middle level.

"Brother Qin, congratulations!"

Shao Lian, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but congratulate him, his face full of envy.

Although he has successfully broken through to the Martial Saint, he is only at the first Martial Saint First Realm and still needs to temper his physical body.

Yang Fan smiled with a strange expression and said, "Town Guardian Qin, you've really surprised everyone. You've been hiding your talent for a long time."

Yang Fan was only at the Martial Saint Sixth Realm, but three years later, Qin Jian, whom he had looked down upon in the past, was now a powerful figure of the same level.

Among the Garrison Commander, Lei Buping looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Qin Jian, what kind of Martial Saint Method do you use?"

Lin Yi slowly spoke, "The Three Ladders Simultaneous Path!"

"Three ladders on the same platform? How is that possible!"

Not to mention Lei Buping, all the Garrison Commander in the area showed expressions of disbelief.

They were once among the most talented Martial Artist artists of their age group, and they had tried the Three Ladders Simultaneous Path before.

The simplest True Qi Ascension Method was enough to consume decades of their lives. Later, they realized the cruelty of reality and abandoned the Three-Tier Method fusion method, honestly choosing the True Qi Ascension Method, which was the easiest way to break through to the Martial Saint realm.

Lei Buping's eyes turned red with envy. "You, Qin Jian, are just a junior with mediocre talent, how could you possibly master the Three-Tier Method?"

The Second Town Guardian, Qian Xuan, also looked over and said, "Indeed, the Ancient Domain has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and I have never heard of anyone being able to break through to the Martial Saint level using the Three-Tier Method simultaneously."

Lin Yi said calmly, "Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. At least in my Gu Family's Martial Saint technique, I have seen the Three-Tier Method of the same senior."

Yang Fan and the other Garrison Commander exchanged glances and said:

"The Gu Family, it seems we forgot that you, Town Guardian Qin, are a member of the Gu Family."

"That's true. There have been many ancestors in the Gu Family who have studied the Three Ladders Simultaneous Path. It is said that Master Gu Xianhe was also a peerless genius in the Three Ladders in One Method."

Lei Buping added, "I still don't believe it. Even if you have the insights from the secret methods of predecessors, with your talent, how many resources would you need to master the Three-Tier Method?"

Seeing Lei Buping's persistent questioning, Lin Yi shook his head helplessly and said, "Lord Lei, what do you think of Qin talent?"

"Naturally, it's extremely poor. I heard that you only broke through to the Four-star Martial Artist when you were over thirty. In our Ancient Domain, which of the most amazing geniuses didn't break through to the Martial Saint before the age of thirty?"

"Furthermore, Flesh Ascension is incredibly difficult. Even with the Gu Family's help, I doubt you could succeed in less than a few decades!"

Among the crowd, the Tenth Town Guardian, Kun Haotian, touched his nose. Others who broke through to Martial Saint at the age of thirty could be called peerless geniuses, but he broke through to Martial Saint at the age of twenty.

But now, he is only Martial Saint at the third level, and his physical body is not yet perfect.

The essence, energy, and spirit required for Martial Saint are based on the essence of the physical body.

With the support of his family's vast resources, it took him several years to reach the second realm. He knew all too well how difficult it was to cultivate the physical body, requiring painstaking effort to hone it.

Therefore, Kun Haotian also looked at Qin Jian, as if he wanted to see how Qin Jian would explain.
