By the bonfire, Lin Dong and Little Marten, who had been chatting and laughing, suddenly had their expressions turn slightly grave as they looked towards the darkness in the distance. Su Kui, noticing the change in Lin Dong and Little Marten, also had his expression shift slightly.
However, Su Kui quickly turned his head to glance at the white-robed figure, then looked at Su Rou sitting beside Sword Saint, and his heart settled down a bit.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Before long, several sounds of rushing wind arrived, and then, five black shadows darted out from the darkness, like ghosts, landing on the surrounding trees.
"Hehe, keep running, why aren't you running anymore?"
A soft laugh echoed in the darkness, causing Su Kui's face to turn cold as he shouted in a cold voice.
"Yan Mo, don't push us too far!"
"I was wondering where you got the courage to stop, so you found some helpers. It's a pity, they can't help you either."
At this time, the speaker also noticed Lin Dong and the others, but chuckled dismissively, even threatening them.
"Gentlemen, our Wind Cloud Dynasty only wants to capture that little girl, I hope you won't make trouble for yourselves!"
The hand holding the wine pot paused slightly. Lin Xuan, who had been planning to take a sip of wine to moisten his throat before speaking, was no longer in the mood for nonsense.
Casting a indifferent glance at the five figures, Lin Xuan raised his hand, took a sip, put away the wine pot, and said softly to Su Rou beside him.
"This is what you call a heartless killer!"
Before Su Rou could react, in the next moment, a flash of sword light streaked past, and then, there were several sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground. Hearing the commotion, Su Kui and the others looked over and saw the corpses of Yan Mo and the others lying quietly on the ground.
"Hiss!"
Su Kui, seeing Lin Xuan's move for the first time, couldn't help but gasp. He didn't even see Lin Xuan move at all, let alone draw his Sword, and then, Yan Mo and the others were directly dead!
"Big brother, you're so amazing!"
Su Rou looked at Lin Xuan with even more admiration. She was sitting next to Lin Xuan, and she saw with her own eyes that Lin Xuan sat there, not moving at all, raised a finger, vaguely felt a trace of energy fluctuation, and then, those few bad guys were all dead!
"Take this, cultivate well in the future, and your strength will definitely surpass me!"
Lin Xuan smiled and took out a delicate statue of a strange beast from his waist, handing it to Su Rou. Looking at the delicate statue that was less than an inch long, Su Rou felt a special longing and closeness in her heart, subconsciously reached out to take it, and said with a sweet smile on her face.
"Thank you, big brother!"
Little Marten, looking at the statue of the strange beast in Su Rou's hand, narrowed his eyes. As a demon beast, and still with the bloodline of the Sky Demon Marten royal family, Little Marten could clearly feel that the statue contained a special power of bloodline.
That bloodline power gave Little Marten an unspeakable feeling. Although there was no powerful bloodline pressure in that bloodline power, when facing that bloodline power, Little Marten clearly felt that the bloodline in his body actually had an unspeakable feeling, it seemed to be... respect?
Little Marten didn't understand, but he could feel that that bloodline power was definitely more noble and powerful than the Sky Demon Marten royal family bloodline in his body!
Lin Dong's gaze towards the statue was also somewhat solemn. Although he couldn't see anything, Yan could clearly sense that after the statue fell into Su Rou's hands, the bloodline power contained in the statue was obviously activated, and was entering Su Rou's body bit by bit.
"This method of bloodline inheritance of ancient divine beasts is truly magical. When this girl completely accepts that bloodline power, she may really be able to transform into a divine beast!"
After hearing Yan's words, Lin Dong was slightly shocked in his heart. He didn't expect that the so-called inheritance would be so powerful, directly able to help the inheritor transform into a divine beast. However, Yan's next sentence made Lin Dong even more envious.
"If I guess correctly, once she really transforms into the body of an ancient divine beast, then her strength should also be able to directly reach the Reincarnation Realm, but, she should still need to overcome the Reincarnation Tribulation herself!"
"Reincarnation Realm!"
Lin Dong exclaimed in his heart, and even couldn't help but swallow his saliva. That was the Reincarnation Realm, how many people in their lives, let alone the Reincarnation Realm, even the Revolving Wheel Realm was an unattainable existence.
"Hehe, kid, are you tempted?"
Faced with Yan's teasing, Lin Dong couldn't help but roll his eyes. How could he not be tempted? That was a direct path to the Reincarnation Realm! Moreover, judging by the Young Clan Leader's appearance, there seemed to be quite a few portions.
Seeing that Lin Dong was moved by his words, a hint of a smile appeared in Yan's eyes. Then, changing the subject, he explained again.
"Indeed, those Divine Beasts should all be able to reach the Reincarnation Realm. For others, it's an excellent opportunity, but for you, it may not be. Because once you obtain the inheritance of those Divine Beasts, you're destined to have no connection with the Ancestor Symbol!"
"What do you mean?"
Hearing Yan's words, Lin Dong's expression faltered, clearly somewhat doubtful. However, Yan didn't explain further, only smiling and saying.
"You can ask that guy. Anyway, that's my feeling. He should know why."
Hearing this, Lin Dong subconsciously turned his head to look at Lin Xuan, only to see that Lin Xuan was looking at him. After a moment of blankness, he remembered that the other party was very sensitive to these special auras.
Seeing Lin Dong's questioning gaze, Lin Xuan obviously guessed that Yan must have said something to him, shaking his head and saying.
"These things are beneficial to others, but they are not suitable for you. Moreover, this is not my decision, but their own choice."
As he spoke, Lin Xuan slightly raised his head, looking up at the starry sky that had been reflecting this land since ancient times, a hint of complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Dong didn't press further, but he could vaguely feel in his heart that this might be related to the Ancestor Symbol itself. Perhaps the Ancestor Symbol was naturally disliked by Divine Beasts?
However, Lin Dong wasn't disappointed. Even without the inheritance of Divine Beast bloodlines, he was confident that with the Ancestral Stone and the Devouring Ancestor Symbol in hand, he would definitely be able to reach that level.
The night passed quietly. Early the next morning, when Lin Dong opened his eyes and saw Lin Xuan still looking up at the starry sky, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He always felt that some changes had occurred in the Young Clan Leader, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
When the sunlight once again shone on this mountain range, Lin Xuan, Lin Dong, and his group set off again, heading towards Myriad Manifestation City. As for Su Rou and her group, they also followed along.
Half a day later, the group finally crossed the vast mountain range and saw the enormous city that seemed to stretch on endlessly.
The towering city walls seemed to reach straight into the clouds, then stretched out to both sides. As far as the eye could see, the city walls still hadn't reached their end.
And in the sky outside the city, countless figures directly cut through the sky, flying towards the incomparably huge Myriad Manifestation City, and finally falling outside the city.
"Myriad Manifestation City is a large city guarded by super sects. Flying is prohibited in the city. All participants must abide by the rules, but..."
Seeing that Lin Dong and the others seemed puzzled, Su Kui explained softly from the side, but when he said the last part, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the white-clothed figure sitting cross-legged on the back of the Spiritual Beast in the middle.
"However, for Sword Saint, these rules don't need to be taken into account."
That was a ruthless person who could directly kill an Attendant of Yuan Gate in a city guarded by a super sect, and no strong person from the super sect would pursue the matter. No matter how strict the rules of Myriad Manifestation City were, Su Kui didn't believe that anyone would dare to do anything to Sword Saint.
"Since there are rules, let's enter the city."
As Lin Xuan spoke, he had Fu Zhu walk towards Myriad Manifestation City. Behind him, Lin Dong and the others hurriedly followed. On the way, Su Kui explained some of the rules of the Hundred Dynasty War to Lin Dong and the others.
Including Lin Xuan, listened carefully, making Su Kui also begin to believe Lin Xuan's words about being from a small family, because basically any family with a background or power knew about the Hundred Dynasty War. This was common sense.
After entering the city, Lin Xuan and his group did not hesitate at all and went straight to the Nirvana Tablet in the center of the city. After all, he needed to have a Nirvana Golden Seal in order to ascend Hundred Dynasty Mountain.
Myriad Manifestation City, in the central area, at the center of an incomparably huge square, a golden giant tablet stood like a mountain, golden light flashing on its surface, shrouded around the giant tablet, incomparably dazzling.
In front of the golden giant tablet, there were quite a few people gathered there, all of whom should have come to obtain the Nirvana Seal and at the same time see the strength of other opponents.
And in the place closest to the Nirvana Tablet, there were three waves of people with extraordinary momentum, each with a not weak aura, obviously all teams from super dynasties.
However, Lin Xuan only glanced at them before ignoring them, continuing to walk step by step along the stone steps towards the Nirvana Tablet.
As Lin Xuan approached, the powerhouses on the periphery who had initially focused their attention on the Nirvana Tablet sensed someone approaching and turned to look. In the next moment, a clamor arose from the crowd!
"Sword Saint!"
As this name suddenly exploded in the crowd, Lin Dong, Su Rou, and the others following behind clearly felt a series of gasps echoing throughout the square.
The somewhat crowded path instantly cleared, and everyone who saw the white-clad figure actively retreated to both sides. Lin Dong and the others even clearly saw that some people's faces turned pale, wishing they could escape immediately.
At this moment, Lin Dong truly witnessed the power of the God of Slaughter's reputation. It was not something his petty Killer title could compare to.
Without speaking, without doing anything, just standing there was enough to inspire fear in everyone!
As the commotion from below spread, and as Lin Xuan and his group continued to advance, the three teams at the very front also turned to look.
Upon seeing the iconic white clothes and silver hair, those powerhouses whom Lin Dong was quite wary of actually gave way, even retreating voluntarily.
Lin Xuan's expression remained calm throughout the reactions of those people. He had seen such scenes more than once.
However, Su Rou, who was following behind Lin Xuan, felt incredibly surprised because she discovered that the people around them didn't even dare to look directly at Lin Xuan, only daring to steal glances out of the corners of their eyes.
"Big brother, they seem especially afraid of you!"
"They are not afraid of me, but of the consequences of blocking my path!"
Lin Xuan's gaze never strayed to look around. He simply walked step by step towards the Nirvana Tablet. Lin Dong, Su Rou, and the others following behind Lin Xuan watched as the people around them continuously scattered to both sides, only to gather again after they passed.
"Da!"
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Xuan stopped in front of the Nirvana Tablet. Then, he slowly extended his palm and pressed it against the cold stone tablet.
"Buzz!"
The moment his palm touched it, a powerful Origin Power burst forth directly from Lin Xuan's palm, surging towards the stone tablet.
Not only that, but at the moment the Origin Power surged out of his body, his spiritual power and sharp Sword intent also entered the stone tablet.
In the next moment, the Nirvana Golden List shone brightly. However, to everyone's surprise, no names appeared on the Nirvana Golden List.
But in the next instant, something unexpected happened!
"Buzz!"
The stone tablet that had stood towering for who knows how many years suddenly shrank in everyone's eyes. Then, it directly transformed into a foot-long stone tablet and fell into Lin Xuan's hand.
"This!"
No one had expected that the Sword Saint's reputation was not only effective on them, but that this Spiritual Treasure of the super sect was also scared to death, directly acknowledging him as its master upon meeting him!
At this moment, not only were the onlookers stunned, but even Lin Xuan's expression clearly faltered. He had merely injected the energy within his body, and then, this Nirvana Tablet actually wanted to acknowledge him as its master.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Just as everyone was stunned, several sounds of rushing wind came, and then, several figures flew over. The middle-aged man at the head spoke proactively before even getting close.
"Sword Saint has come from afar, Song Tai has not welcomed you from afar, I am truly remiss, truly remiss!"
While Song Tai spoke, he also hurriedly made a gesture, telling the other disciples of the super sect to restrain the Origin Power within their bodies.
"You're too kind!"
Lin Xuan nodded slightly in response, then looked at the Nirvana Tablet in his hand. Seeing this, Song Tai quickly said with a smile.
"Sword Saint, rest assured, I will personally report this matter. Sword Saint, you don't need to take the test. You can directly obtain the Nirvana Golden Seal and participate in the final Nirvana Golden List competition. Although the championship will definitely belong to the Sword Saint, some procedures still need to be followed. I hope the Sword Saint doesn't mind."
"Since it's the rule, Lin Xuan will naturally act according to the rules."
Lin Xuan threw the Nirvana Tablet in his hand directly to Song Tai, and then cupped his fist and said, making the smile on Song Tai's face even more sincere.
