Great Yan Dynasty, Great Yan Prefecture!
Great Yan Prefecture is the leading prefecture of the Great Yan Dynasty, also known as the Imperial Prefecture, because the Imperial City is located in the east of Great Yan Prefecture.
But today, the most bustling place in the entire Great Yan Prefecture is not the Imperial City in the east, but another major city in Great Yan Prefecture, Lin City, which faces the Imperial City from the west!
Lin City is where the Lin Clan is located. The fact that Lin City can be on par with the Imperial City shows the status of the Lin Clan.
And today's hustle and bustle in Lin City is naturally caused by the Lin Clan, because today is the day of the Lin Clan's clan gathering, one of the four major clans of the Great Yan Dynasty!
As one of the four major clans, the Lin Clan's clan gathering will naturally invite countless forces to come and observe the ceremony, and this time is no exception, even more lively than in previous years.
Because in this session, the most powerful competitor for the clan gathering championship is named Lin Langtian, who is praised by many elders of the Lin Clan as a peerless genius rarely seen in hundreds of years, and some even call him the number one genius of the Lin Clan!
At this moment, in the huge arena in the very center of Lin City, this year's clan gathering is in full swing.
The arena's venue is also quite peculiar, the whole is like a funnel, and the surrounding viewing seats gradually rise as they extend to the surroundings.
The competition venue in the middle, however, is like stacking plates, forming a cone shape, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The lower it is, the more arenas are used for the competition, and the higher it is, the larger and fewer they are. The top position has only one.
That will be the location of the final battle. The winner will ascend to the championship position under the spotlight, and his name will shake Great Yan!
At this time, in the huge arena, figures are crisscrossing, and majestic Core Power fluctuations are flickering. From time to time, there are also strange mental power fluctuations.
"Lin Clan, Lin Langtian!"
"Qingyang Town branch family, Lin Xiao!"
As the referee's voice fell, the entire arena suddenly burst into an uproar, and countless eyes fell on the figure in the blue shirt standing on the VIP seat.
Lin Langtian, an extremely dazzling name, had already broken through to the Core Formation Realm at the age of twenty. You must know that in the Great Yan Dynasty, being able to break through before the age of twenty-five is already a genius!
In the eyes of the elders of the Lin Clan, Lin Langtian is the future of the Lin Clan, and his future is limitless!
Even, in order to build momentum for Lin Langtian, who was at the Great Perfection of the Core Formation Realm, the rules of this clan gathering were specially changed to prohibit all Shaping Three Realms clansmen from participating.
After all, Lin Langtian is only in his twenties now, and some of the previous generation geniuses in the family who are close to thirty years old are already in the Shaping Realm, or even the Qi Creation Realm, and can easily defeat Lin Langtian, who is at the Great Perfection of the Core Formation Realm.
At this time, Lin Mu, who was in charge of hosting the clan gathering, couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at the young man standing quietly beside him when he heard the elders praising Lin Langtian.
Compared to the luxuriously dressed Lin Langtian, the young man was only wearing a simple coarse cloth robe, and his long hair was simply tied behind him. In addition, the black, unsharpened long sword held upside down in his hand made him look very casual.
But it is this seemingly inconspicuous man, as long as people with real eyesight, their eyes will definitely be attracted to him at the first time.
Compared to Lin Langtian's flamboyant showiness, the young man seems ordinary, but he is a real divine sword, hidden and not released, and all his sharpness is contained within the sword body, just like a divine sword sealed in a scabbard. Once it is unsheathed, its sharpness will surely shock the world!
However, not many people have seen the young man take action, and there are very few people in the Lin Clan with this kind of eyesight.
Lin Mu is one of them. As one of the only two people who have seen the young man draw his sword, Lin Mu's evaluation of the young man is only one sentence - that is not someone he is qualified to evaluate!
The young man's name is Lin Xuan. Although he is only in his early twenties, his strength is extremely outstanding.
Lin Xuan is not a member of the Lin Clan, at least, in terms of bloodline, he is not, but was picked up by Lin Fan from outside.
According to the clan leader Lin Fan, at that time, he had just broken through the Nirvana Realm and came out of seclusion. He happened to sense the birth of a Spiritual Treasure and was attracted to it. As a result, when he got closer, he saw a black, unsharpened long sword stuck in the ground.
Lin Fan, who had already broken through the Nirvana Realm at that time, naturally planned to take this Spiritual Treasure back when he saw this opportunity, but found that he could not move the divine sword even if he used all his strength.
Just when Lin Fan was about to give up, he noticed that there was a baby lying next to the divine sword.
Seeing this, Lin Fan also intended to take the infant back to the Lin Clan to raise, lest it be eaten by demonic beasts. Just as Lin Fan was holding the infant, preparing to return, the divine sword that he had been unable to move even slightly before, strangely flew into Lin Fan's hands.
Greatly astonished, Lin Fan vaguely sensed that this divine sword might belong to this infant, and that this child might also have a special origin. Thus, he adopted him as a foster son and raised him within the clan.
Because of the profoundness of the divine sword and the strangeness of the experience, Lin Fan named the infant Lin Xuan.
Perhaps sensing Lin Mu's gaze, Lin Xuan also turned his head to look. Seeing Lin Xuan look over, Lin Mu smiled and asked,
"Lin Xuan, what do you think of Lin Langtian's strength?"
Lin Xuan did not respond to Lin Mu immediately, but looked at Lin Langtian, who gracefully descended into the arena from the VIP seats, before softly speaking,
"This person has extraordinary talent and extremely strong strength, not beneath me!"
Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Lin Mu's face couldn't help but twitch.
Lin Mu remembered that once, when he sparred with Lin Xuan, he suppressed his cultivation to the same level as Lin Xuan and asked Lin Xuan what he thought of his strength and whether he could defeat Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan's answer was the same.
However, the result of that time was that, at the same cultivation level, Lin Mu didn't even have the chance to use advanced martial arts before Lin Xuan suppressed him from beginning to end with a sword.
And this time, Lin Xuan still said 'not beneath me,' which made Lin Mu's expression somewhat strange.
Isn't it said that geniuses are extremely arrogant and look down on others? Just like Lin Langtian, whose eyes are practically on top of his head.
After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he ignored Lin Mu's expression and instead focused his gaze on the spirited man who stepped onto the arena.
The man appeared to be about thirty years old, and although his strength was ordinary, he had a look of high spirits.
Lin Xiao!
"Hmm? What, you think highly of that junior from a branch family?"
Seeing that Lin Xuan did not speak but instead focused his gaze on Lin Xiao, Lin Mu couldn't help but ask. Lin Xuan, hearing this, slightly shook his head, a hint of absent-mindedness flashing in his eyes.
