Chapter 1630: Elder Yin
Lin Xun quickly moved away to avoid accepting the salute. “Elder, that was a conflict between the two of us and has nothing to do with you.”
Mister Miaoxuan smiled and invited Lin Xun to sit down, “My little friend, about this matter with Ao Zhentian, can I ask you to listen to what I have to say?”
“Elder, just say what is on your mind.”
Mister Miaoxuan thought about it for a moment and said aloud, “If you care about Miss Jingxuan, you should let her return to the True Dragon Clan with Ao Zhentian.”
Lin Xun narrowed his dark eyes slightly, looking a little surprised.
“Put aside your prejudice against Ao Zhentian. If Miss Jingxuan can participate in the Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly, it will definitely bring unimaginable benefits to her bloodline talent.”
Mister Miaoxuan explained, “This will play a vital role in her future cultivation. After all, the Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly is only held once every tens of thousands of years, and also not everyone in the True Dragon Clan is qualified to take part in it.
“As far as I know, those who are not direct descendants of the True Dragon Lineage, or those who do not have extraordinary foundations and achieved great accomplishments, would not have the opportunity to participate in this grand event.“And all true dragon descendants who take part in the event will have the opportunity to obtain the Ancestral Dragon True Blood! This is the bloodline power left by the true dragon ancestor at the beginning of the birth of primal chaos. Once refined, it produces a wonderful ‘Ancestral Reversion’ transformation!
“Do you know what this means to descendants of the true dragon?”
Mister Miaoxuan spat out before Lin Xun could answer, “Emperor qualification.”
Lin Xun gasped, heart pounding in his chest.
He said with disbelief, “Just by refining a bit of power, one would have the qualifications to ascend the realm of the Great Emperor?”
Mister Miaoxuan nodded and said with a smile, “Of course it is not that simple to become an Emperor. However, it is indeed remarkable to possess emperor qualification. Some quasi-Emperors will never possess such qualifications in their lives!”
Lin Xun nodded with understanding. No wonder Mister Miaoxuan made that suggestion. The Ancestral Dragon True Blood alone is already irresistible to any descent of the True Dragon Clan.
“The background of the True Dragon Lineage is truly terrifying,” Lin Xun marveled.
Mister Miaoxuan sighed, “True dragons and celestial phoenixes are all legendary divine clans that are blessed by heavens. No one, even those from the Ancient Nebula Road, can deny their powers.”
“For example, Ao Zhentian might be no match for you now, but he has heaven-defying qualities. The upcoming Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly is held because of him. There is no doubt that when he refines the Ancestral Dragon True Blood, he can definitely form the True Dragon Body and possess the foundation to become an emperor!”
Lin Xun thought in silence for a long while before he finally said aloud, “I will need to ask Jingxuan’s opinion on this matter first. If she wants to go, I absolutely will not stop her.”
The meaning of his words was very clear. If Zhao Jingxuan was unwilling, then no one could take her away as long as he was around!
Mister Miaoxuan nodded.
On the same day, Lin Xun wrote a letter and stamped it with his own great dao mark. He gave it to Mister Miaoxuan and asked him to send it to the Star Chess Sea through the channels of the Divine Apparatus Pavilion.
……
Meanwhile, Yin Huan was having a conversation with Ao Zhentian.
“Young Master Ao, we were too careless this time. In my opinion, if Lin Xun was in the Ancient Nebula Road, given his combat prowess, he is strong enough to be ranked among the top 100 of the Starry Sky True Saint Rankings,” Yin Huan said in a soft voice, advising Ao Zhentian.
“However, he also has his shortcomings, and that is he won’t be able to enter the Ancient Nebula Road before reaching the Emperor Stage without any special means.”
After a pause, she continued, “You also know that compared to the nine domains, the Ancient Nebula Road is the real cultivation world, the origin of all daos, the root of primal chaos, and the birthplace of all sects and cultivation schools in the world!”
Birthplace!
It was just one word, but the meaning it represented would make any cultivator in the world
tremble inwardly.
“You are right, but this only proves that I lost too pathetically!” Ao Zhentian said bitterly after regaining his composure. “If Lin Xun can defeat me so effortlessly by just training in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, then what would happen if he had been cultivating in the Ancient Nebula Road from the beginning? Wouldn’t his foundation and strength be even more terrifying?”
He couldn’t help but laugh at himself. “In the past, I only focused my attention on the dazzling figures on the Starry Sky True Saint Rankings, but now I realized that I have been too narrow minded.”
Yin Huan’s face scrunched up with worry. Could the defeat be such a huge blow to Ao Zhentian that it shook his invincible confidence?
“Yin Huan, you don’t need to worry about me. This defeat woke me up, and I will never be so muddle-headed anymore.
Ao Zhentian inhaled deeply, and his eyes shone with determination.
Seeing this, Yin Huan felt much more at ease.
“I am only worried about how I can bring my cousin, whom I have never met before, back to the clan. You also know that this visit to the Ancient Wasteland Domain is an order from my grandfather. If I can’t complete the mission, then my grandfather will definitely scold me harshly.” Ao Zhentian sighed.
Yin Huan thoughtfully said, “Why don’t…I go and plead with Master Miaoxuan again and ask him to help persuade Lin Xun?”
Ao Zhentian shook his head. “No need, at worst I will go search for her myself.”
Would he let Yin Huan bow her head for his own affairs?
No, he could never do it.
……
On the same night, a letter from Star Chess Sea was brought back to the Divine Apparatus Pavilion.
Lin Xun opened the letter to see only one sentence written on it. “Your thinking is the same as mine; you can make the decision for me in this matter.”
Lin Xun had a quick look at it and immediately understood what she meant.
Zhao Jingxuan seemed also tempted by the Ancestral Dragon True Blood, but she valued his opinion more, so she was letting him make the decision for her.
Immediately, Lin Xun went to find Mister Miaoxuan and asked, “Elder, could you please tell Ao Zhentian that I will make a decision on this matter once I return from the Frontline Battlefield?”
Mister Miaoxuan gave a hearty laugh. “Of course.”
When Mister Miaoxuan passed on those words to Ao Zhentian, he was speechless for a while.
What does that guy mean by this?
But Yin Huan understood right away. “What else could it mean? He is worried about you taking away Miss Jingxuan now, but he doesn’t want her to miss out on the opportunity to participate in the Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly, so he came to this decision.”
Ao Zhentian snorted. “Does he think that I will harm my own cousin?”
Yin Huan shook her head. “No, but this proves that Lin Xun and your cousin have a special relationship, and it is very likely that they have become a couple.”
Ao Zhentian’s pupils shrank. “Does my cousin not know that the descendants of our clan, whether men or women, have to first obtain approval from the clan leader and elders if she wants to become a couple with an outsider?”
It was unknown what Yin Huan thought of but she could not help from letting out a sigh.
Ao Zhentian quickly reassured, “Yin Huan, our relationship will definitely not be a problem. When the Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly comes to an end, I will ask my father for approval.”
Yin Huan nodded, her eyes looking away shyly and full of tender affection.
If Lin Xun was here, he would be shocked that Yin Huan, an aloof ice queen, actually had a shy and gentle side.
Ao Zhentian was visibly mesmerized.
A beautiful woman was like a painting, like poetry, like fine wine.
They were admired, appreciated, and impossible to get out of your mind.
In the end, Ao Zhentian agreed to wait.
……
Early next morning.
In a secret realm world located deep in the Divine Apparatus Pavilion stood an ancient black altar.
On the other side of the altar stood a slender old man with a sparse beard and hair. He had a raincoat draped over him and wore a bamboo hat on his head, just like an old fisherman.
As Mister Miaoxuan arrived with Lin Xun, he gave a slight bow to the old man. “This little friend is called Lin Xun. He wants to go to the Frontline Battlefield. Elder Yin, sorry to trouble you.”
The fisherman-looking old man swept a glance over Lin Xun and nodded.
He did not say a word.
Mister Miaoxuan said to Lin Xun, “This is Elder Yin. He will take you to the Frontline Battlefield, but remember that no matter what happens along the way, you must listen to him.”
Lin Xun nodded.
Elder Yin had a very ordinary aura around him like he possessed no cultivation base. But this only made Lin Xun feel that he must not underestimate him.
“Once you arrive at the frontline, please pass this letter to my senior brother.” Mister Miaoxuan took out a sealed slip and handed it to Lin Xun.
Lin Xun carefully put it away before he walked up the ancient black altar with Elder Yin.
Buzz—
Following a bizarre rumble, the figures of Lin Xun and Elder Yin both vanished from the spot.
“Fortunately, Elder Yin is with him, because many accidents could happen with space teleportation…” Mister Miaoxuan exhaled a sigh of relief.
……
Time flew and the scenery suddenly changed.
Lin Xun felt as if he was traveling through countless colorful and fragmented worlds. He was presented with all sorts of dazzling and bizarre scenes along the way.
Elder Yin was steering an old wooden boat, taking Lin Xun through space. Wisps of colorful turbulent space currents transformed into strips of colorful light, splashing out around the wooden boat. It was a magnificent and beautiful spectacle.
But Lin Xun knew that if he came into contact with those wisps of colorful light, even if he was a supreme Saint, he would be instantly pulverized into nothing!
They were teleporting through space, and the power of space was the power of law and order built in nothingness!
Along the way, Elder Yin stood on the bow of the boat, hunched over wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, like a fisherman. He silently stared into the distance without uttering a single word.
Lin Xun did not bother him and just calmly looked around.
It was said that on the Frontline Battlefield of the Ancient Wasteland was a great wall that connected the sky to the ground. It was majestic and vast, and made of real stars.
This city wall, which was also known as the Great Emperor Pass, had defended against the invasion of countless enemies since ancient times and had protected the Ancient Wasteland Domain to this day.
The boundless city walls were soaked in blood both inside and outside.
This information rarely circulated in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. Lin Xun only learned about the Frontline Battlefield of the Ancient Wasteland Domain from Mister Miaoxuan.
What amazed him the most from everything he had heard was that the Great Emperor Pass had the illustrious reputation of being "the number one heavenly barrier of Ancient Wasteland Domain that blocks all Emperors”!
