214: Meeting the Chosen One

Lu Xingchen and Lin Wanqing embraced tightly.

Lin Wanqing's body began to heat up, and her hands weakly pushed at Lu Xingchen, her pretty face flushed red.

Just then, a clap of thunder suddenly boomed in their ears.

"Her Excellency Xin Huo, I have an urgent matter to discuss!"

After saying this, Mu Chun also felt extremely awkward.

With his Soul Power at the Early Heaven Realm, he could naturally perceive what was happening in the room.

He also had no reason to stop them; it was normal for a young couple, reunited after a long separation, to be like dry wood and raging fire, engaging in deep communication.

But the problem was, Lin Wanqing cultivated a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique called the "Nine Revolutions Nirvana Art," which could quickly stimulate the Power of Kindling Fire within her body.

However, it required abstinence; she could not lose her virginity before the Cultivation Technique reached Major Achievement.

Her Excellency Xin Huo's Cultivation progress was very important to the entire Human Race; the faster she became a Martial Saint, the stronger the Human Race's power would become.

Therefore, even though doing such a thing would greatly reduce Karma, Mu Chun had no choice but to stop their good deed.

Mu Chun's roar was not just loud; it also carried Soul Power, which could shock people's hearts.

The heat in Lu Xingchen's body immediately dissipated by more than half, and holding his wife, he was momentarily unsure whether he should continue.

Damn it, why did something have to happen at this moment?

Mu Chun, that old man, was too disgusting!

Lin Wanqing also calmed down, her body regaining its strength, and she pushed Lu Xingchen away, softly saying, "Big Strong One, because of my Cultivation Technique, I cannot be intimate with you until I Breakthrough to Martial Saint. I'm sorry."

"Once my Cultivation Technique reaches Major Achievement, then you can do whatever you want. I'm going back to rest first; you can sleep in this room tonight!"

With that, Lin Wanqing's face turned rosy again, and she fled the room as if escaping.

Lu Xingchen touched his head and sighed softly.

Was it related to Cultivation?

No wonder Senior Mu Chun had to ruin his good deed.

Alas, who knew how long it would be until his wife Cultivated to the Martial Saint Realm? Wouldn't he be living like a widower?

With a hint of unwillingness, Lu Xingchen lay on the bed to rest.

After a day of fighting, he was indeed a bit tired.

Mu Chun looked at the hastily fleeing Lin Wanqing and cupped his hands to her, saying, "Her Excellency Xin Huo, I did not intend to offend you, but you cannot do such a thing right now; you must consider the people of the world."

Lin Wanqing waved her hand, "I know, Senior Mu Chun, thank you for rescuing me."

Mu Chun shook his head repeatedly, "It's not a rescue; as long as Her Excellency Xin Huo doesn't blame this old man, that's enough."

Lin Wanqing softly said, "Then what does Old Mu think of Lu Xingchen? Does he meet your standards?"

Mu Chun said in a deep voice, "I'm not sure either. His strength is a bit lacking, but his spirit is very good, and his luck is also good. It's really hard to say how far he can go in the future. But if I were to evaluate him, I would say this person has the potential of a Chosen One."

Although she knew Mu Chun might be flattering her, Lin Wanqing's heart still rejoiced, and she said with a smile, "I think so too."

Early the next morning, Lin Wanqing arrived at Lu Xingchen's bedside early, gently shaking his body, and softly said, "Big Strong One, wake up!"

Lu Xingchen slowly opened his eyes and saw his wife's peerless beauty.

"Miss Wanqing, it's just dawn, and you're up so early?"

Lin Wanqing softly said, "If it were normal times, I would definitely let you rest well and wouldn't disturb you easily. But I've scheduled a meeting with several Chosen Ones (of Heaven's Selection) and high-ranking officials of the Demon-Rejecting Pass, and I want to introduce you to them."

"The people are already waiting in the reception hall, so I could only wake you up. Get yourself ready and come with me!"

This meeting was something Lin Wanqing had planned for a long time, with no substantial content, just to introduce Lu Xingchen to the Human Race's powerful figures and let him get acquainted.

This was a good time for Lu Xingchen to develop his network, with all benefits and no harm.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen immediately became energized and sprang up from the bed with a carp jump.

"Then Miss Wanqing, please wait for me at the door; let me wash up."

How could Lu Xingchen not understand his wife's deep meaning?

Meeting the Chosen Ones (of Heaven's Selection) was an Opportunity that ordinary people could never obtain in their entire lives.

A quarter of an hour later, the two walked hand in hand into the meeting hall.

Six people were already waiting in the meeting hall, five men and one woman.

After the two stepped through the door, the seven people all rose and bowed to Lin Wanqing.

"Greetings, Her Excellency Xin Huo!"

Lin Wanqing waved her hand.

"Seniors, there's no need for such formality; in front of you, I am just a little girl."

"This is my Dao Companion, Lu Xingchen. I already told you about him; now I'll introduce you to each other."

As Lin Wanqing's words fell, Lu Xingchen immediately cupped his hands and bowed to the seven people, saying in a deep voice, "Junior Lu Xingchen, greetings to the seven Seniors!"

Lin Wanqing softly said, "Big Strong One, this is the Pass Lord of Demon-Rejecting Pass, Senior Xu Chengyang."

"This is the Deputy Pass Lord, Senior Zhu Jincai."

"This is Chosen Eleven, Tower of Heavy Control, Fu Xin."

"This is Chosen Twelve, Blade of Blazing Sun, Guo Juncai."

"This is Chosen Thirteen, Shadow of Etherealness, Guo Xiaoquan."

"This is Chosen Eighteen, red tassel of war, Li Hongxue."

"This is the Deputy Alliance Leader of the Righteous Path Alliance, my Dao Protector, Mu Chun."

Lu Xingchen bowed to the seven people one by one.

These seven were the mainstays of the Human Race and thorns in the eyes of the Demon Race Army, who wished to eliminate them quickly.

Lu Xingchen looked at the tops of the seven people's heads, all of which displayed "???".

Needless to say, they all had Cultivation above Martial Venerable, and even Martial Saints were not few among them.

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Seven Seniors, are you all Martial Saints?"

Xu Chengyang smiled calmly, "Almost. Six of us are Martial Saints, but Li Hongxue just became a Chosen One not long ago and hasn't yet Breakthrough to Martial Saint. Without using the heavenly emperor seal, I am the strongest among the six Martial Saints."

Lu Xingchen gasped.

Six Martial Saints!

Perhaps half of the Human Race's top combat power was in this room.

For a moment, Lu Xingchen felt a sense of gratitude towards Lin Wanqing.

Being able to know these Geniuses would be of great benefit to his future Cultivation path.

Lu Xingchen turned to look at Li Hongxue, his heart filled with shock.

Li Hongxue was a sexy beauty with an imposing figure and fiery red hair.

But that wasn't the main point.

The main point was that she looked incredibly young, probably not over twenty-five years old.

"Her Excellency War Scarlet Tassel, may I ask your age and your Realm of Cultivation?"

Li Hongxue brushed a stray strand of hair from her forehead, looking at Lu Xingchen with interest, and said with a smile, "I am 24 years old this year, and I have just Breakthrough to Eight-Star Martial Venerable. Is there a problem?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen was greatly astonished.

A Martial Venerable Expert at 24 years old, and not just a recent Breakthrough, but an Eight-Star Martial Venerable.

This was too terrifying!
