After Lin Heng returned to the Battle Heaven Pavilion in the Fourth Heaven from the First Heaven.
Before he could even catch his breath, a disciple came to report.
At this moment, a large number of Nine Heavens experts have gathered outside the Battle Heaven Pavilion sect.
Even Mei Aoxue, the third leader of the Mortal World Inn, and others were among them.
This puzzled Lin Heng.
What are these people doing here at the Battle Heaven Pavilion?
Are they causing trouble because they're dissatisfied with what happened in the previous First Heaven?
But Mei Aoxue had already helped Lin Heng deal with Tianxuzi and Lei Juetian, so how could she possibly be dissatisfied with their deaths?
Besides, even if they came to cause trouble.
That would require at least Saint Emperor- level expert to come.
It couldn't possibly be just Mei Aoxue and her group.
Still puzzled, Lin Heng went out himself.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Battle Heaven Pavilion.
Lin Heng glanced up and saw that there were quite a few people there.
There must be at least tens of thousands of people here.
Most of them were from the Lei Clan and the Mortal World Inn.
However, there are many people who belong to other forces under the two clans.
Lin Heng was about to ask a question.
Mei Aoxue, however, took the lead and knelt down on one knee in the direction of Lin Heng.
"Pavilion Master Lin Heng, we have come to pledge our allegiance."
"From now on, I am willing to serve Battle Heaven Pavilion with utmost loyalty and devotion. I hope the Pavilion Master will accept me as a guest."
Mei Aoxue's first words to Lin Heng were still addressed as Pavilion Master, which showed respect.
The second sentence directly addressed her as "Pavilion Master," which represents her unwavering resolve.
At this moment, Situ Jiannan also walked up behind Lin Heng and said in a low voice:
"Master, it seems that the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor and Qin Hongmian have already lost their hearts in the Nine Heavens."
"However, with so many people coming together, there might be spies among them."
"Just pay attention to a few things when screening."
Lin Heng turned around and glanced at Situ Jiannan standing behind him.
"You mean, take them all?"
This made Lin Heng hesitate.
Although these people were quite capable, their loyalty to Lin Heng was difficult to guarantee.
With the Time Treasure possessing a billion times the power of the Battle Heaven Pavilion, it wouldn't be too long before their cultivation levels improve.
If that's the case, why take the risk again?
Situ Jiannan also noticed Lin Heng's worry and smiled:
"Master, with our current strength, we are already capable of reaching the First Heaven."
But now we face a difficult problem.
"A gap in the strength of the sects."
Situ Jiannan got straight to the point with a single sentence.
The current strength of the Battle Heaven Pavilion has indeed been recognized in the Nine Heavens.
However, the problem of a significant gap in strength is indeed quite serious.
In terms of peak power, there are Lin Heng, Sun Yuan, and the Good and Evil Doppelgangers.
This level of power already gives First Heaven.
But further down, there was no one left in the Sovereign Realm, and even the Heavenly Firmament Realm was completely empty.
Although Battle Heaven Pavilion's disciples at the Primordial Realm, Heavenly Venerable Realm, and Samsara Realm are considered invincible in the Nine Heavens.
However, the crisis of the timeline also put them in a rather awkward position.
We can't expect Lin Heng and his three companions to handle everything if anything happens in the future, can we?
The other Thirteen Factions each sent a Heavenly Firmament Realm.
Could it be that the Battle Heaven Pavilion directly dispatched its Pavilion Master and Deputy Pavilion Master?
This is also the main reason why Situ Jiannan proposed to take Mei Aoxue and her group in.
With the addition of these people, the predicament of the Battle Heaven Pavilion's lack of strength has been somewhat alleviated.
After a moment's thought, Lin Heng looked at Situ Jiannan again.
This time Lin Heng remained silent, but Situ Jiannan, who understood his thoughts, responded with a smile:
"Don't worry, Master, leave the selection to me."
"Strength is certainly important."
"But loyalty to the Battle Heaven Pavilion is the primary consideration."
Seeing that Situ Jiannan had said so, Lin Heng nodded.
Then Lin Heng looked at Mei Aoxue and the others.
With a wave of his hand, Lin Heng unleashed a gentle force that simultaneously lifted tens of thousands of kneeling people to their feet.
This move even slightly surprised a powerful expert like Mei Aoxue.
After all, it's only a few thousand people; perhaps she could do it too.
Facing tens of thousands of people, Mei Aoxue admired the precision with which he controlled his power.
Lin Heng smiled slightly after lifting the person up.
Thank you all for coming to the Battle Heaven Pavilion.
"From now on, I, Situ Jiannan, the Grand Steward of the Battle Heaven Pavilion, will assign everyone the tasks."
"There's one more thing. Normally, all the affairs, big and small, of the Battle Heaven Pavilion are handled by Situ Jiannan."
Lin Heng's last words were a warning to those with ill intentions.
Although Situ Jiannan's cultivation level was not high.
But as long as he is not present, he can represent the entire Battle Heaven Pavilion.
In other words, Situ Jiannan is Lin Heng's spokesperson.
No one raised any objections to this matter.
The Nine Heavens experts already knew about Situ Jiannan's status in the Battle Heaven Pavilion.
After all, it was all because of Mei Chu's grandmother's matter.
Lin Heng directly ordered Situ Jiannan to lead the Battle Heaven Pavilion experts to attack the Heavenly Origin Fire Prison of the Third Heaven Fire Clan.
After offering some simple reassurance, Lin Heng instructed Situ Jiannan to lead the person into the Battle Heaven Pavilion's sect.
The rest was naturally left to Situ Jiannan to handle.
Lin Heng left Battle Heaven Pavilion and went to the first floor of Peach Garden Heavenly Abode to find Dijiang.
Lin Heng came to find Dijiang to ask if he could accept the test of the third level.
The Nine Heavens now pose no challenge to him.
Only at a higher level could Lin Heng feel a sense of longing.
When Lin Heng arrived at the first floor of Heavenly Estate.
Dijiang seemed to have been waiting for his arrival.
After the two met and sat down, Dijiang said with a smile:
"Your growth rate is much faster than I expected."
"You did a good job this time in the Heavenly Elegance Mountain Range."
"To remain calm and composed in times of crisis, and to assimilate and integrate the power of 'Devour Heaven and Absorb Earth' and 'the Origin Assimilation '."
"Our master achieved this after breaking through to the Nine Heavens."
As Dijiang spoke, he looked at Lin Heng with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Over the years, Lin Heng has indeed lived up to his expectations.
Even with Dijiang's extensive knowledge, he couldn't find the slightest fault in this rate of growth.
Lin Heng smiled after hearing Dijiang's words.
"So, does that mean I'm qualified to challenge the third level?"
However, at this moment, Dijiang showed a hesitant expression.
Clearly, Lin Heng's strength is stuck in a rather awkward position.
If he lacked the strength, Dijiang would directly refuse Lin Heng's request.
Just like when Lin Heng came to the first floor of Heavenly Estate last time, Dijiang said it outright.
However, Lin Heng's current strength is such that, while he could barely meet the minimum requirements to challenge the third level, he is still at that level.
However, with Lin Heng's current strength, attempting to break through the third level of the Heavenly Estate is far too dangerous.
This caused Dijiang to hesitate about whether to agree to let Lin Heng go.
Seeing this, Lin Heng roughly understood and then smiled:
"If there is no danger, then how can there be growth?"
"Rather than having absolute strength to clear the game."
I prefer taking on challenges.
Lin Heng expressed his feelings, and Dijiang looked at him from his deep thought.
But Dijiang couldn't help but remind him again.
Are you really sure about this?
"They obey their master's orders completely."
"I will never feel any affection for you during a battle."
