Meanwhile, aboard the boundary flying boat heading towards the Desolate Domain.
Lin Xuan sat by the window, a glass of sake in his hand, his eyes calm and indifferent as he listened to the conversations around him.
There were several young men and women beside him.
These were people Lin Xuan had met in the past few days—or rather, they had taken the initiative to approach and chat with Lin Xuan.
These individuals, both men and women, all came from the Holy Heaven.
One of them was a beauty of unparalleled grace, exuding a subtle fragrance. Her crimson dress accentuated her delicate and charming face.
She rested her elbows on the table, gripped the rim of the cup with her fingers, and leaned swaying against Lin Xuan Lin Xuan. She was incredibly enthusiastic towards him, and the adoration in her eyes was undisguised, practically screaming "I'm very interested in you" on her face.
This appearance infuriated the man accompanying her.
Judging from his expression, he was furious.
Lin Xuan had overheard a bit about where these two people came from.
They all come from the same Holy Heaven — the Big Dipper Holy Heaven.
Although the two didn't discuss private matters much, judging from his expression, it was clear that he felt affection for the woman.
That is indeed the case.
As everyone knows, he had been in love with that woman for a long time ever since he boarded the ship, but he had never received a response.
Now, having finally found an opportunity to sit with her sweetheart and try to get closer, she sees her sweetheart being incredibly enthusiastic towards another man.
The person he desperately pursued but could never have, yet he took the initiative to strike up a conversation with someone else, with such enthusiasm and intimacy that he had never seen before.
Most importantly...
The affection in her eyes was genuine.
This shows that...
'She's not doing this to spite me; she's genuinely interested in him!'
When this thought crossed the man's mind, he almost lost his composure and crushed the wine glass in his hand. Even though he managed to restrain himself, a overwhelming sense of crisis still permeated his entire body.
So much so that the way he looks at Lin Xuan now is full of hostility.
After getting to know each other, everyone realized that they were all students of the Ten Great Saint Heavens, and they gradually warmed up to each other by introducing themselves.
" Yan Lie comes from the Northern Dipper."
" Wu Xiao, Southern Li Holy Heaven."
The people who spoke all had arrogant expressions.
Being a student of the Holy Heaven is something to be proud of, not to mention that the strength of the Big Dipper Holy Heaven Southern Li Holy Heaven is not weak.
The beautiful woman glanced at Lin Xuan out of the corner of her eye, a slight upturn of her lips, and spoke in a crisp voice with a hint of arrogance.
" Shan Ling'er comes from the Divine Firmament Holy Heaven!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the others couldn't help but widen their eyes and subconsciously repeated her words.
" Divine Firmament Holy Heaven?"
"Hiss... It's actually a senior sister from the Divine Firmament Holy Heaven?"
Lin Xuan had heard of the name Divine Firmament Holy Heaven, so he naturally understood why everyone present was so shocked.
This is because Divine Firmament Holy Heaven is incredibly powerful among the Ten Divine Firmament Holy Heaven Ten Great Saint Heavens, and in terms of ranking alone, it ranks fourth!
Of all those present, Shan Ling'er, who appeared here, could be said to have the best background.
The rest of the people were either from the seventh or the eighth...
There is no one who can compare to the Divine Firmament Holy Heaven from which Shan Ling'er comes.
After finishing her explanation of her Holy Heaven and seeing the satisfied expressions of the others, Shan Ling'er caught a glimpse of Lin Xuan's calm demeanor out of the corner of her eye.
That nonchalant, unfazed demeanor piqued her curiosity, prompting her to ask a question.
"Young Master Lin, which Holy Heaven do you come from?"
As Shan Ling'er asked, she was also guessing in her mind.
She rarely misjudged people; Lin Xuan's aura truly captivated her, and his demeanor and expressions all spoke volumes about his extraordinary nature.
" The Primordial Holy Heaven." Lin Xuan spoke calmly, not hiding the fact that his Holy Heaven was at the bottom of the rankings.
Um?
" The Primordial Holy Heaven?"
Upon hearing this, everyone else froze, turning to look at Lin Xuan with disbelief in their eyes.
They stared at Lin Xuan in astonishment, trying to find a hint of a joke on his face. However, Lin Xuan's calm expression confirmed that he was telling the truth. Instantly, the expressions of many people around him changed, revealing a hint of contempt that had not been there before.
As is well known, there is a hierarchy of contempt among the various factions within the Holy Heaven Holy Heaven.
As the lowest of the Ten Holy Heavens, the Primordial Holy Heaven was undoubtedly the one most despised at that moment.
Even though the Primordial Holy Heaven is still one of the Ten Holy Heavens, in the eyes of many Holy Heaven students, the Primordial Holy Heaven is not worthy of being compared with the other Holy Heaven.
To put it bluntly, the Primordial Holy Heaven is simply a disgrace to the Holy Heaven!
If it weren't for the fact that the old dean, clinging to life, hadn't yet perished, the Primordial Holy Heaven would probably have already been kicked out of the ranks of the Ten Great Saint Heavens.
It's even debatable whether it still exists.
It's not just because Bai Wuya is about to perish; the difference in strength between the Holy Heaven is enormous.
The pillars of the Holy Heaven are the Holy Teacher and the Heavenly Pride.
However, the lineup of geniuses in the Primordial Holy Heaven is simply no match for the other nine Holy Heaven.
The top geniuses of the Nine Holy Heaven are all at least at the Thearch Realm, but the Primordial Holy Heaven has not a single Thearch Realm, which is simply a laughing stock.
With the Primordial Holy Heaven gradually declining, many Holy Heaven students believe that its existence has lowered the overall level of the Ten Great Primordial Holy Heaven Ten Great Saint Heavens.
And that old dean...
Rather than living such a wretched existence, it would be better to disband the Primordial Holy Heaven as soon as possible, so as to save them from further embarrassment.
The change in the attitudes of those around him was quite striking.
Although Lin Xuan didn't care about how others treated him, he never expected that the Primordial Holy Heaven would be so unpopular among the Ten Great Saint Heavens in the outside world.
Even Shan Ling'er, after learning that Lin Xuan was a student from the Primordial Holy Heaven, visibly lost much of the enthusiasm in her eyes.
To her, Lin Xuan could come from any Holy Heaven, even the ninth-ranked True Origin Holy Heaven, it didn't matter.
The only thing that cannot be at the bottom is the Primordial Holy Heaven.
She is Shan Ling'er from the Divine Firmament Holy Heaven, a well-known prodigy and a famous genius in the academy. She has many suitors within the Holy Academy, but as proud as she is, she has never been moved by any of them.
But if she were to break the rules for a bottom-ranked student from the Primordial Holy Heaven, it's easy to imagine that what awaits her will not be blessings, but rather the ridicule of others.
Even her teacher would probably be unhappy about this.
so...
She suddenly turned cold, the enthusiasm in her words visibly diminished, and even the expression on her face became somewhat stiff and awkward.
Lin Xuan naturally noticed it, but didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
He even found it somewhat amusing; which Holy Heaven Holy Heaven was stronger or weaker made no difference to him.
His purpose in coming here was solely for the Demon Battlefield; he cared nothing for anything else.
