The seven people in the secret realm immediately reached a consensus and formed a temporary team to find the exit from this mist.
From their conversation, Lin Xuan gradually learned some of the information he wanted to know.
For example, these individuals are all at the Peak King Realm.
They all came from the Primordial Domain.
This is indeed the Eastern Continent, the location of the Primordial Holy Heaven of the Eastern Continent. These people have come here to participate in the Primordial Holy Heaven's assessment and recruitment.
The place they are in now is the first round of trials of the Primordial Holy Heaven, the Myriad Phenomena Secret Realm.
Upon learning all this, Lin Xuan was slightly taken aback.
He never expected that he would be teleported to a secret realm, and that a recruitment ceremony was currently being held there.
He listened to the conversations of the others along the way, subtly catching up on the information he wanted to know, but he didn't notice that the others were always glancing at him, whether openly or secretly.
Yun Qingming's initial discomfort was slowly intensifying over time.
After all, Lin Xuan was not only strong, but also exceptionally handsome.
Whether it was Xi Jingjing, Sun Chenghe, or the others, they almost all subconsciously lingered around Lin Xuan.
Even Shen Xiyao's gaze towards Lin Xuan was completely different from when she looked at herself.
Yun Qingming's eyes flashed with gloom, and he was about to explode with anger.
He was captivated the moment he met Xi Jingjing and Shen Xiyao.
He had never met a woman who suited his taste so perfectly; she seemed to have been created precisely to match his aesthetic preferences.
Therefore, from the moment they exchanged names, he began to consciously or unconsciously try to get closer to the two women, hoping to become more intimate with them.
Shen Xiyao, of course, needs no further explanation.
She was stunningly beautiful, the most beautiful woman Yun Qingming had ever seen in his life; in his eyes, even a fairy could not compare.
That pure and ethereal quality struck a chord deep within Yun Qingming's heart.
Although Xi Jingjing could not compare to Shen Xiyao in terms of looks, Yun Qingming also liked women with such charming temperament.
He only saw the other person's flirtatious gestures and the seductive charm she exuded, and he felt as if there was a little hook tickling his heart.
This made Yun Qingming's mind wander to all sorts of fantasies.
Without exception, neither Xi Jingjing nor Shen Xiyao seemed to be particularly fond of him, and even their smiles were polite.
If things continue like this, Yun Qingming won't be bothered.
However, everything changed after Lin Xuan appeared.
While they were indifferent to him, only offering polite smiles and addressing him as Fellow Daoist Yun, they were extremely enthusiastic towards Lin Xuan, taking the initiative to approach him. Even Shen Xiyao would listen attentively to Lin Xuan's words, her eyes seemingly only focused on the speaker.
The flames of jealousy burned fiercely in Yun Qingming's heart, almost scorching his reason, causing him to clench his teeth and look unwillingly in Lin Xuan's direction.
Just then, a Demon Beast burst out of the mist and pounced straight towards their location.
Upon seeing this, Yun Qingming immediately roared in anger.
"Let me kill this beast!"
His anger seemed to have found an outlet; with One Sword strike, he viciously severed the Demon Beast's head, his face still grim.
Along the way, whenever they encountered Demon Beast, the others didn't even have a chance to make a move.
As if to show off, Yun Qingming would always charge at the forefront with extreme ferocity whenever he encountered a Demon Beast, blasting it to Demon Beast!
What was most surprising was that when he encountered a Ghost-Faced Spider at the late stage of the sixth-order Demon King realm, Yun Qingming refused the help of others and killed the Demon King with a single punch.
Amidst the rain of blood, everyone had their own thoughts, but they all looked at Yun Qingming with newfound respect.
Yun Qingming...
Surprisingly, his strength is quite impressive as well.
Xi Jingjing glanced at Yun Qingming with slightly surprised eyes, pondering to herself.
This person's strength was somewhat beyond her expectations.
The man she encountered along the way turned out to be a powerful figure as well?
Lin Xuan's strength was undeniable, something they had all witnessed. This guy, who looked like a spoiled young master, was actually quite formidable?
That's really unexpected...
As Xi Jingjing pondered, she reflected on herself in her heart.
Come to think of it, this guy seemed to have tried to curry favor with me before?
Was I being too cold to him?
No, no, this is not good...
As she thought about it, Xi Jingjing made up her mind that when Yun Qingming came to see her again, she should still be more enthusiastic towards him, after all, his strength was not bad.
Shen Xiyao, on the other hand, watched this scene quietly, casually using her Spiritual Power to erect a shield, blocking the blood rain flying towards her.
She doesn't have that many messy thoughts.
Although Yun Qingming 'Yun Qingming strength was somewhat unexpected, so what if he was strong?
Her attitude towards others doesn't change based on their abilities.
As for Lin Xuan, she didn't deliberately try to get close to him.
She simply felt that Lin Xuan gave her a better feeling than Yun Qingming's murky aura, and his gaze towards her seemed devoid of any ulterior motives, which is why she was willing to listen attentively to Lin Xuan.
Shen Xiyao could see it clearly.
Throughout the entire process, Lin Xuan never fawned over her because of her beauty.
The colors in his eyes were completely pure, without the slightest hint of filth.
This made Shen Xiyao's attitude towards him much gentler.
After all, she was very beautiful and had met all sorts of people since she was a child.
Those people, in order to get close to her, either pretended to be aloof or fawned over her.
But no matter how they tried to disguise their intentions, Shen Xiyao could always tell at a glance what their true purpose was in approaching her.
Although Yun Qingming appeared to be a refined gentleman, with the demeanor of a virtuous person, the greed and desire in his eyes when he looked at her and Xi Jingjing, even though he hid it well, still could not escape Shen Xiyao's eyes.
In Shen Xiyao's eyes, this behavior was even more disgusting than directly displaying greed and desire towards her.
She had displayed remarkable beauty since childhood, and the actions of these people made her feel that her only advantage was her appearance.
Sometimes, the way they looked at her wasn't as if she were a person, or even as if she were Shen Xiyao, but rather as if she were a rare and valuable commodity...
Yun Qingming's eyes clearly conveyed the same message.
Having seen so many looks like that since childhood, it would be strange if Shen Xiyao gave Yun Qingming a kind look.
But Yun Qingming was unaware of this.
He still thought he had hidden himself well. After killing the late-stage sixth-tier Demon King, he turned around slightly, looking at him with a hint of provocation and confidence, his eyes full of arrogance.
"Young Master Yun, I never knew you were so amazing!"
Meeting Yun Qingming's arrogant gaze, Xi Jingjing took a step forward, her face filled with surprise and admiration.
She smiled and praised, "I never expected that Young Master Yun was such True Person. Even such a powerful Demon King couldn't withstand a single punch from you... truly astonishing!"
Sun Chenghe did the same, nodding and praising from the side.
"Yes, Brother Yun's strength is truly admirable. We still have a lot to learn from that punch."
Because of the strength Yun Qingming displayed, both of them treated him much better.
It was even subtly ingratiating.
The changes in the two are quite obvious.
Especially Xi Jingjing.
Before this, she had never given Yun Qingming a kind look, treating him only as a sycophant who admired her appearance.
But now, Xi Jingjing looked at Yun Qingming with sparkling eyes and moved closer to him.
The two people were talking incessantly.
Yun Qingming didn't care at all about Xi Jingjing's previous appearance; she looked so arrogant and seemed to be enjoying it.
As for Lin Xuan?
Xi Jingjing was originally very enthusiastic towards Lin Xuan.
But as Yun Qingming continued to kill Demon Beast, during their casual conversation, when the topic turned to age, she learned that Lin Xuan was already Twenty-Seven, almost Thirty. Her enthusiasm waned considerably, and the only remaining vestige of it was because of Lin Xuan's formidable strength.
Now that Yun Qingming, who is capable of rivaling Lin Xuan in strength, has appeared, her enthusiasm, flattery, and admiration for Lin Xuan have completely vanished.
After learning Lin Xuan's age, Yun Qingming let out a cold laugh.
He had thought Lin Xuan was some extraordinary talent, but it turned out he just looked young; his actual age was almost Thirty.
Oh!
Twenty-Seven or twenty-eight years old, and his strength level is only at the Emperor Realm!
Judging from his aura, he was at most at the Early Emperor Realm.
--In this realm, such talent isn't exactly bad, but it's certainly still some distance from genius. And for those who come to the Primordial Holy Heaven Primordial Holy Heaven, obtaining a spot to become a student there is something far beyond what such talent can achieve.
In the Primordial Domain, Emperor Realm Emperor Realm expert in their early twenties and one who is nearly Thirty are completely different concepts.
Among these people, even the least talented and seemingly weakest youth, with his talent, will definitely be able to reach the Early Emperor Realm, or even a higher realm, before the age of twenty-eight!
Therefore, their enthusiasm for Lin Xuan dissipated.
Lin Xuan is only a few years older than them; they're not going to die young, so what's there to admire about him?
and!
He's already twenty-eight years old, and he's still participating in the trials of the Primordial Holy Heaven?
At your age, aren't you ashamed?
Do they really think that the Primordial Holy Heaven accepts any kind of student?
Although none of them actually said anything to mock Lin Xuan, or even uttered a single word, the meaning conveyed in their eyes was quite clear.
Sun Chenghe, who had been very enthusiastic towards Lin Xuan, no longer smiled.
Although he maintained basic politeness, his attitude was completely different from how he had initially fawned over Lin Xuan.
Especially Xi Jingjing.
She focused all her energy and efforts on ingratiating herself with Yun Qingming, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Yun Qingming, making no attempt to hide her desire to place her bets.
Lin Xuan felt somewhat helpless about this, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
That's definitely the case in the Eastern Continent.
The prodigies of the Profound Domain, if placed in the Eastern Continent, would be no different from ordinary people.
Here, even if someone reaches the Emperor Realm at the age of twenty-eight, it can only be considered as having a little bit of talent.
He deliberately revealed his age.
Everything that's happening now is exactly what he wanted to see.
Otherwise, having a group of people surrounding him would be really too annoying.
Lin Xuan didn't really enjoy being the center of attention; he preferred quiet and peace.
It was just his habit. Faced with all these people fawning over him before, Lin Xuan felt a little helpless, but he didn't show any favoritism. He treated everyone the same, without being overly affectionate or deliberately distancing himself.
He saw through Xi Jingjing's little scheme.
He's happy to see the other party switch targets now.
Whether it's Xi Jingjing who changed her target or Shen Xiyao who remained quiet, to Lin Xuan, there was no difference.
Even Shen Xiyao, though stunningly beautiful, is just one of the disciples Lin Xuan has taken in. Every single one of them is exceptionally beautiful and incredibly talented, even in the Eastern Continent.
Especially Su Lianxin and Yunyi.
The two women had distinct and different temperaments, but the only thing they had in common was that, compared to Shen Xiyao in front of them, they were both more stunningly beautiful and breathtakingly beautiful.
It wasn't that Lin Xuan disliked beautiful women; it was just that he had become accustomed to seeing his own few stunning disciples, so he was already immune to these so-called beauties.
Naturally, they didn't care how others treated them.
However, just as the attitudes among the group were beginning to subtly shift, Yun Qingming's expression suddenly turned ugly.
Not only him, but everyone else was also astonished and gathered around warily.
Xi Jingjing exclaimed in surprise.
" Emperor Realm! Oh no! How could we be so unlucky as to encounter so many Demon Beast at the Emperor Realm level!"
In the mist, it was difficult to use Divine Sense, so it wasn't until these few Emperor Realm Demon Beast revealed themselves that they realized they were surrounded by the Emperor Realm Demon Beast!
For a moment, everyone's expression turned extremely grim.
Several Emperor Realm!
Is it really necessary to be this unlucky?
Yun Qingming's face was tense. He noticed Xi Jingjing's worried gaze and felt even worse.
If he were to face only one or even two Emperor Realm- Emperor Realm Demon Beast Demon Beast, he would not be afraid, nor would he feel the slightest bit of fear.
But...
Now, he has to face five or six!
They're all at the Emperor Realm!
In particular, there was a demon Demon Beast among them whose strength was roughly at the Third Level of the Emperor Realm, and who was about to enter the middle stage of the Demon Emperor Middle Emperor Realm!
Although these Demon Beast are currently only at the Early Emperor Realm, how could a group of the King Realm possibly defeat a number of the Emperor Realm Demon Beast that are roughly equal to their own?!
However, just as everyone was feeling a chill run down their spines, Lin Xuan looked at the several Emperor Realm Demon Beast blocking his way without even frowning.
He took a casual step forward, his eyes showing no emotion, drew his sword, and swung One Sword at the Demon Beast that was rushing towards them!
Even though he is injured now, he is definitely not someone that a mere Emperor Realm Demon Beast can bully.
Amidst the disbelief and even astonishment of everyone present, a flash of cold light appeared in mid-air.
Without exception, all the Demon Beast that rushed towards them died instantly, swiftly and decisively killed by One Sword strike!
All six Emperor Realm Demon Beast were annihilated!
