The figure that appeared before Lin Xuan was a middle-aged man with black hair. He wore a long black robe, a smile on his lips, and had a refined and mysterious air about him. He quietly descended to this place as a phantom, and his eyes were full of meaningful smiles as he looked at Lin Xuan.
Upon seeing the other party, Lin Xuan realized that it was an illusion, not the real person.
However, even if it were just an illusion, it shouldn't have appeared in the Supreme Institute.
There are isolation formations between the Supreme Institute and its surroundings.
unless...
There's a mole!
However, Lin Xuan was not particularly surprised or lost his composure.
He knew it very well.
It's come to this point already; the existence of a traitor within the Primordial Holy Heaven is nothing surprising. It's something that's always been there.
Lin Xuan calmly raised his head and looked at the other person, his eyes showing neither panic nor fear.
His composure surprised the middle-aged man with black hair, who secretly admired him.
As expected of the peerless genius that the Primordial Holy Heaven wanted to protect, this composure alone is already extraordinary.
As he thought about it, the look of appreciation in his eyes deepened.
Seeing Lin Xuan remain silent, he smiled and spoke first.
"You must be my young friend Lin Xuan?"
"Young friend, you're so young, not even at the Thearch Realm yet, but you've been appointed as the head of one of the three inner academies of the Primordial Holy Heaven. It seems that old fellow Bai Wuya values you quite highly."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan's expression shifted slightly, but he didn't reply. His eyes reflected the man's figure, and he asked in return, "And who are you, sir?"
The man in black smiled faintly, a hint of smugness playing on his lips.
"I am the leader of the Baiyue Demonic Sect!"
"I have come here to invite young friend Lin to join my Primordial Slaying Alliance. With your talent, once the new sect is established, I can promise to appoint you as its Holy Son! Besides that..."
Seeing that Lin Xuan remained unmoved, he smiled and slowly said, "Young friend, there's no need to refuse. I've come with the utmost sincerity. Take a look at this."
A silvery-white liquid, shaped like a water droplet, floated slowly in his palm. It was entirely silvery-white, constantly changing and unfolding. The spiritual energy contained within it, even if it was just an afterimage projection, was still visible, which was astonishing.
Lin Xuan happened to recognize this item.
This is a drop of spiritual liquid.
Its name is merely "spiritual liquid," but its effects can enhance aptitude, defy fate, and even increase the cultivation level of the user out of thin air!
The spiritual liquid is extremely attractive to cultivators who are about to break through to the Thearch Realm, or even those who have already reached the Thearch Realm. In addition, its ability to enhance cultivation upon consumption makes it effective even for the Saint Realm cultivators.
Almost no one could resist its allure.
Especially, natural talent!
Talent is predetermined by heaven and difficult to change. Anything that can enhance talent is a divine object created by heaven and earth, and spiritual liquid is the best among them. Moreover, after enhancing talent, there are absolutely no side effects!
Even Lin Xuan couldn't help but slightly shrink his pupils as he gazed at that single drop of silver spiritual liquid.
It has to be said, he was indeed very tempted.
It was unexpected that the Primordial Slaying Alliance would offer such a divine artifact to recruit him, demonstrating their high regard for him and suggesting that the traitor within the Primordial Holy Heaven must be a person of great power and influence...
Seeing Lin Xuan staring at the spiritual liquid in his hand, the leader of the Baiyue Demonic Sect revealed a smug smile and slowly continued speaking.
"Previously, our Primordial Slaying Alliance's attempt to assassinate Young Friend Lin was thwarted, which truly surprised us. Your protector's strength is even greater than we imagined, but how long can he protect you? Why not join us, and this Primordial Slaying Alliance liquid will be yours."
These words stirred something within Lin Xuan.
Back then, the six Ancient Emperor besieged and attempted to kill him, but failed miserably. The news would definitely have reached back to the Primordial Slaying Alliance, after all, those ancient Ancient Emperor could not be brought back to life.
However, within the Primordial Slaying Alliance, it was clear that they did not connect the dots to Lin Xuan, nor did they believe that Lin Xuan was strong enough. Instead, they connected the dots to Elder Zuo, mistakenly believing that Elder Zuo had broken through to the Half-Saint realm, which led to the fall of the six Ancient Emperor who wielded Saint Weapon.
Among them, not a single person believed that Lin Xuan was responsible.
Lin Xuan is indeed a prodigy.
But potential is not the same as strength. They believed that Lin Xuan would definitely be extraordinary in the future, but now he was just a cultivator at the Heavenly Venerable Realm. No matter how strong he was, he could not possibly shake the six Ancient Emperor.
Moreover, he was Ancient Emperor who wielded Saint Weapon and was just one step away from becoming Half-Saint.
This is absolutely impossible.
Slowly pulling his gaze away from the spiritual liquid, Lin Xuan looked up at the face of the man in black and suddenly smiled.
"It seems your alliance has really gone to great lengths to recruit me."
The Baiyue Demonic Sect chuckled and said, "That's right. After all, our Primordial Slaying Alliance would never want to miss out on someone of your talent and ability to govern the world."
He almost thought the matter was settled.
After all, according to his information, Lin Xuan had only been a member of the Primordial Holy Heaven for a year.
What kind of feelings can you develop in just one year?
Moreover, the holy master who took him in didn't even give him a single instruction.
In the past six months, he has hardly spent any time in the Primordial Holy Heaven; he has spent a significant portion of his time on the Demon Battlefield.
In such a situation, only a fool would risk their life for the Primordial Holy Heaven, whose defeat is already inevitable.
Joining their Primordial Slaying Alliance not only grants immediate access to becoming a Holy Son and receiving nurturing, but also provides a drop of readily available spiritual liquid.
Who would refuse such a good thing?
Lin Xuan is Lin Xuan after all, not Bai Wuya, whom Bai Wushang Wuyai raised from childhood.
However, under his gaze, Lin Xuan slowly shook his head.
"I am indeed very tempted by this item, but please, sir, leave."
Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, the leader of the Baiyue Demonic Sect was somewhat surprised, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.
He hadn't expected Lin Xuan to reject him.
This is the allure of the elixir.
Even ordinary Half-Saint and Saint Realm would be moved by such a being.
The smile on the face of the leader of the Baiyue Demonic Sect Cult faded slightly, but he still spoke.
"I truly cannot bear to see such a prodigy as you perish. Under the circumstances, the Primordial Holy Heaven is destined to be defeated. To tell you the truth, the rumors circulating outside that our Primordial Slaying Alliance has a Saint... are true."
As the last two words were uttered, the certainty in the eyes of the Baiyue Demonic Sect leader deepened.
Saint Realm.
He refused to believe that Lin Xuan would remain unmoved!
However, he was still disappointed.
Even after hearing the news about the Saint Realm, Lin Xuan remained unmoved, and the smile on his face did not change.
He merely raised an eyebrow and said, "Is that so?"
"Since you think so highly of me, why don't you join my Primordial Holy Heaven?"
