"What?!"
"Get out of the way!"
"You!"
The three members of the Thousand Flames Demon Sect were in a flurry of activity, filled with shock, confusion, and anger.
They never expected that after they invoked the name of the Thousand Flames Demon Sect, the person inside the spirit boat would still dare to make a move.
They had encountered similar situations many times, and there were quite a few people with even worse tempers than Lin Xuan.
But whenever this happens, as long as they invoke the name of their Thousand Flames Demon Sect, even if the other party is at the Emperor Realm, they will consider it and let them do as they please if they don't go too far.
Therefore, they had long been accustomed to it.
In this case, there are almost no people who would dare to take the initiative to attack, knowing that they come from the Thousand Flames Demon Sect.
The second Sword-Ray engulfed the three of them squarely, causing them to perish completely within the sword light, leaving not even a trace of dust in the world.
All the passengers on the spirit boat stared blankly, feeling nothing but shock.
No one expected that after the people blocking the way invoked the name of the Thousand Flames Demon Sect, the sword cultivator on the spirit boat would actually dare to make a move?
this...
Is that correct?
Even if he is at the Emperor Realm, isn't he afraid of the wrath of the Thousand Flames Demon Sect?
Who is this person in the VIP room? They're so domineering and arrogant...
Inside the VIP room, Lin Xuan sheathed his sword, suppressing the slight anger in his heart.
He glanced indifferently at the spot where the group had fallen, completely ignoring their words.
He gave them a chance.
Unfortunately, the other party didn't appreciate it.
As for the Thousand Flames Demon Sect...
Are royal-level forces very strong?
He couldn't be bothered with things like finding or searching for people, nor did he care.
However, without saying a word, these people directly attacked the spirit boat he was on. Keep in mind, he was still inside the spirit boat! What difference was there between attacking the spirit boat and attacking him directly?
Lin Xuan wasn't known for his good temper, and he didn't allow the other party to run wild right under his nose.
but...
It was a twist of fate that he ended up saving the person being hunted down by the Thousand Flames Demon Sect.
If I remember correctly...
A thoughtful look flashed across Lin Xuan's eyes. In a flash, he appeared directly in Youying's room.
Before Youying could make any move, Lin Xuan had already placed a hand on his shoulder.
This seemingly harmless, light touch actually suppressed all of Youying's Spiritual Power!
He was so suppressed that he couldn't muster even the slightest bit of his strength!
The Youying froze, utterly shocked.
What kind of strength is this?
King Realm Ninth Level Perfection?
Or is it the Emperor Realm?
Youying wasn't stupid; he could guess that the powerful figure who had suddenly appeared in his room was the one who had killed the four members of the Thousand Flames Demon Sect.
He subconsciously looked at the other person, but his heart skipped a beat when he saw Lin Xuan's face clearly.
"It's him?!"
At the same time, a strange feeling also crossed his mind.
He had realized that Lin Xuan was the young man who had been watching him when he boarded the spirit ship.
However, at the time, Youying didn't pay much attention to it.
Could it be that...
Did this senior realize something was wrong at that time?
hiss...
This is a huge problem!
Just as Youying was feeling anxious, Lin Xuan's calm voice reached his ears.
"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm."
"Besides, even if I had malicious intent, you couldn't fight back, could you?"
Lin Xuan's words were domineering, but they were also true.
Since he possesses the strength to instantly kill King Realm High Stage expert, killing Youying would be even easier for him, without the slightest difficulty.
Youying Lin Xuan's words, Youying relaxed a little, but her muscles remained tense.
He swallowed hard, moistening his throat, which was parched from nervousness.
"Senior..."
But before he could finish speaking, Lin Xuan interrupted him.
I didn't save you for nothing.
After a brief pause, Lin Xuan revealed his purpose.
"I come from a faction called Sword Pavilion."
"I am the Pavilion Master."
"Judging from your talent, you are quite gifted. If you are willing, you may join my Sword Pavilion and serve as... the Ninth Sword Master."
"Of course, I never like to force or coerce others. If you're unwilling, then consider yourself to owe me a huge favor."
Lin Xuan smiled slowly, then released his grip and stood in front of Youying, observing the changes in her expression.
After a brief change in expression, and several moments of hesitation and struggle, Youying made his decision.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior. Youying... will gladly accept it!"
Having said that, Youying felt a sense of relief.
He was originally unaffiliated with any faction, so it didn't matter which side he joined.
Moreover, this senior in front of him had saved his life and only wanted him to join the sect, which was really not a big problem.
However, Sword Pavilion...
Youying pondered for a moment, then looked puzzled.
Sword Pavilion? He seemed to have never heard of this sect before.
Logically speaking, with such a senior figure in charge, the reputation of the Sword Pavilion should not be almost nonexistent.
Moreover, this senior's strength should be at the Emperor Realm, so his faction must be an Emperor-level sect.
Royal-level forces are not uncommon in the Profound Domain, but they are certainly not few either. Each one is renowned, with the Thousand Flames Demon Sect being a prime example.
But Sword Pavilion...
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't believe that he had heard rumors about the Sword Pavilion.
However, Youying didn't ask any further questions.
He bowed crisply and decisively.
" Ninth Sword Master Youying greets Pavilion Master!"
"Very good."
Lin Xuan's mood improved somewhat after receiving another powerful member joining the sect.
As for Cultivation Method and such...
Lin Xuan does not intend to bestow this upon Youying for the time being.
Even if he gave it to her now, Youying wouldn't have time to cultivate; it would be better to wait until after her trip to the Void Realm.
Then, Lin Xuan took out a jade token and tossed it to Youying.
"Take this. From this day forward, you are a member of my Sword Pavilion."
Youying quickly accepted the jade pendant. As soon as he held it, he felt a chill throughout his body, but it warmed up slightly after he held it for a while, so it must be a high-quality spiritual warming jade.
The jade plaque has no patterns or complicated decorations; it contains only a single character.
A character for "sword" that reveals its sharp edge, moves gracefully like a swimming dragon, and vaguely reveals endless fierce Sword Intent!
Upon seeing this character alone, Youying knew that the inscription on the jade tablet must be the work of the senior before her.
Even though the jade tablet in his hand was an inanimate object, he was somewhat hesitant to look at the words on it.
The handwriting reflects the person; indeed, it's quite good.
Holding the token, Youying felt a sense of peace creep into her heart.
He looked up, about to speak about the Thousand Flames Demon Sect, only to find his room empty, without a single person in sight.
If the jade token hadn't still been in his possession, he would have suspected that the young powerhouse who had just appeared in his room was just a hallucination created by his constant pursuit.
but...
Since this senior directly killed the pursuers of the Thousand Flames Demon Sect, he must not care about the threat from the Thousand Flames Demon Sect. Otherwise, he would not have known his identity and still wanted to take him into his sect.
With that thought in mind, Youying finally sat down with a thud, exhaled, and felt a completely different State of Mind.
Although he hadn't yet escaped the shadow of the Thousand Flames Demon Sect, he believed it was only a matter of time!
Lin Xuan left so that he could return and refine the seventh-grade spirit sword as quickly as possible.
And his efforts did indeed pay off.
When the spirit boat was not far from the entrance to the Void Realm, and the entrance to the Void Realm could be vaguely seen, Lin Xuan finally emerged from seclusion!
A faint smile played on his lips, revealing his good mood.
His spirit sword has finally been successfully forged!
Our strength has increased dramatically once again!
"With a seventh-grade spirit sword as the foundation of the formation, what level is my strength at now?"
Lin Xuan pondered for a while, but without any comparison or reference, it was really difficult to make a prediction.
But he was certain that, given his skill level, there was absolutely no one in the Emperor Realm who could rival him.
After Lin Xuan went onto the deck, Youying, dressed in a black robe, appeared beside him.
No one seemed to approach them intentionally or unintentionally, but Lin Xuan didn't care. He calmly watched as the spirit boat docked, extending a cloud ladder that led directly down below.
Nearby, a surging crowd of people, varying in strength, exuded a chilling aura.
The Void Realm.
We've finally arrived.
At the entrance to the Void Realm.
At this moment, the Void Realm had been opened, and a deep, cold light pierced through the air, like a black hole that could absorb all the light around it.
Countless forces from all over the Profound Domain flocked to the area, none of them lingering outside, and plunged into it, entering the Void Realm.
Lin Xuan scanned the area outside the entrance with his Divine Sense but did not detect the presence of Heavenly Venerable Yunli and the others.
Presumably, they entered the Void Realm ahead of time because they saw it had already opened.
Without much thought, Lin Xuan stepped inside.
The cold light danced, spun, twisted, and reassembled several times in the shattered void before his eyes. When the serene fragrance mixed with coldness entered his breath, this Spiritual Power field, different from that of the Profound Domain, made Lin Xuan instantly realize that he had successfully entered the Void Realm.
When he opened his eyes again, the scenery before him had indeed changed.
Originally, the entrance to the Void Realm was located in the mountains, but over the years, a large number of cultivators have come here every hundred years, and the nearby mountains have long been blasted flat.
Therefore, near the Void Realm, there is a flat stone platform that stretches as far as the eye can see, which the Profound Domain named the Chaotic Stone Wasteland.
But now, the place where Lin Xuan is is full of cold cypress, green pine, and towering beech trees that cover the sky.
Not far in front of him, there were two figures, a man and a woman, flying hurriedly in his direction.
It was originally a trivial matter, but Lin Xuan was taken aback when he saw the two people.
The two people—or more accurately, the woman in the man and woman pair—were also taken aback when their gaze swept over the figure standing under the pine tree.
"It's you?"
Before Lin Xuan could speak, the woman exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Xuan had already recognized the other party.
She wasn't exactly a familiar face, but to Lin Xuan, she was by no means a stranger.
This woman was none other than Chu Yuechan, the Mystic Ranking prodigy Lin Xuan encountered in the Heaven-Burning Mystic Realm, who had once competed with him for the ownership of the Spirit Spring and later "gave" him her place at the Ancestral Tree Trial Site!
At that time, Lin Xuan had just entered the Heaven-Burning Mystic Realm when he encountered Chu Yuechan. Naturally, she was unable to gain the upper hand against Lin Xuan and retreated in defeat.
Now, Lin Xuan has only been in the Void Realm for a short time, and the first person he has encountered is Chu Yuechan again.
However, on that day, Chu Yuechan was accompanied by a young girl with a lively personality, while now Chu Yuechan is accompanied by a male cultivator who looks quite handsome.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but smile.
It's quite a coincidence.
When Chu Yuechan saw Lin Xuan face, she was first surprised, then a flash of joy quickly crossed her eyes.
She didn't know if Lin Xuan still remembered her, but her impression of Lin Xuan was extremely deep.
He is very strong.
Incredibly powerful!
It was also he who made Chu Yuechan deeply understand that there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding.
Despite being only at the Tribulation Realm Ninth Level, he was able to unleash One Sword at the level of the King Realm Third Layer. Moreover, this person had comprehended at least Third Level Sword Intent. That One Sword left an indelible mark on her heart.
Third Level Sword Intent, that's three layers...
Every time she thinks back on it, Chu Yuechan feels incredibly amazed.
What kind of monster is this?
Therefore, from that time on, she never dared to underestimate anyone in the world again.
As a result, her standards for judging geniuses have been raised considerably.
Even those prodigies ranked in the top ten of the Mystic Ranking were no longer the fearsome geniuses in her eyes.
In Chu Yuechan's heart, only Lin Xuan Lin Xuan could be called a prodigy.
These are the true prodigies!
Moreover, it was precisely because of Lin Xuan's strength that Chu Yuechan was deeply moved, so she became even more diligent in her cultivation.
Now that she has entered the Void Realm, her strength is immeasurably greater than it was in the Heaven-Burning Mystic Realm. The Sword Intent revealed, exuding sharpness.
Some time ago, she defeated Yi Lang, who was ranked ninety-first on the Mystic Ranking, with just a few sword strikes, taking his ninety-first place and becoming the talk of the town.
only...
People say that all the hundred people on the Mystic Ranking are geniuses, and the top ten are even more monstrous. She, who can defeat her enemy with two swords, is undoubtedly a proud daughter of heaven.
But in Chu Yuechan's heart, including herself, we were still far from being considered geniuses.
She cultivated diligently, not to surpass Lin Xuan —surpass? Chu Yuechan dared not even think about it.
All I wanted was to get a little closer to him.
Lin Xuan's power and extraordinary talent made it impossible for Chu Yuechan to harbor the slightest disrespect.
Upon seeing Lin Xuan again, Chu Yuechan's excitement was almost overflowing.
That was a super prodigy whom I had set my sights on!
Her joy and excitement were not deliberately hidden; her slightly flushed cheeks and excited expression revealed Chu Yuechan's current State of Mind.
This caused the man beside her to frown slightly.
It's you again.
Lin Xuan shrugged casually, knowing that Chu Yuechan had no intention of fighting, and chuckled mockingly.
"What, you're trying to steal my things again this time?"
Chu Yuechan quickly shook her head with a wry smile, knowing full well the hidden meaning in Lin Xuan's words.
Having witnessed Lin Xuan's power, how could she dare to harbor such thoughts again?
Besides, back in the Heaven-Burning Mystic Realm, didn't you also steal the position that rightfully belonged to me during the Ancestral Tree Trial?
The ownership of the sacred spring can only be described as a struggle, not a robbery.
He simply couldn't beat Lin Xuan in the competition.
But during the Ancestral Tree Trial, Lin Xuan practically "robbed" her.
Who's stealing from whom?
