118: Heavenly Sword Emperor! Accepting a disciple?

Ten Thousand Demons City.

Inside a restaurant.

Many people were discussing recent events...

"Alas, Fellow Daoist, do you know what has happened recently? Why is Ten Thousand Demons City getting more and more lively? And why are core figures from so many major forces flooding into Ten Thousand Demons City..."

"I'm also very curious! Fellow Daoist, you wouldn't believe it, but just yesterday, I saw Long Aotian, the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, appear in Ten Thousand Demons City... How could such a great person suddenly appear in this remote Ten Thousand Demons City?"

"Not just that, the Thunder Emperor Palace's group also appeared today, and one of them was their Emperor Child!"

"Alas, why think so much? Even if there's some major event or good fortune, it will all be divided among those major forces. We ordinary people won't even have a chance to get close..."

"That's true... Alas..."

...

Outside Ten Thousand Demons City, space shattered, and two figures suddenly appeared in the air, instantly attracting the attention of the people below.

The two figures were Lin Xuan and Second Ancestor Lin Changxue.

"Whose force are these people from? That female Senior has such terrifying aura!"

"This aura is many times stronger than the Saint Emperor Kongmu Senior I saw before... I'm afraid she is a terrifying Quasi-Emperor mighty figure!"

"Hiss~ Qua... Quasi-Emperor!"

"I am a rogue Cultivator from the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty. This Senior is an Ancestor from the newly promoted Quasi-Emperor Clan, the Lin Family, of my Heavenly Dragon Dynasty! I never expected this Senior to have already stepped into that legendary Quasi-Emperor Realm!"

"So that's it. Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for clarifying our doubts!"

It was inevitable that the sudden appearance of powerful individuals would cause a stir, but Lin Changxue paid no mind.

She only glanced towards the depths of Ten Thousand Demons City.

There, a terrifying aura that made even her heart palpitate was hidden, unreleased!

She knew that was the Emperor-level expert currently guarding Ten Thousand Demons City, and also the person who was predicted to have a great Opportunity appear this time - Heavenly Blade Great Emperor!

"Lin Xuan, let's go. Follow me to visit Senior Heavenly Blade."

"Yes."

Lin Xuan had already heard Second Ancestor's introduction to Ten Thousand Demons City on the way, so he naturally knew about this Heavenly Blade Great Emperor who had been guarding Ten Thousand Demons City for nearly 1000 years.

According to Second Ancestor, Ten Thousand Demons City is guarded by a Great Emperor year-round, rotating every 1000 years, mainly responsible for guarding the city and monitoring the movements of the Demon Clan.

And there are many other cities like Ten Thousand Demons City, specifically responsible for guarding the border, along the endlessly long border between the Human territory and the Demon Domain.

Some small cities might only have Holy Man Realm Cultivators guarding them, while large super cities like Ten Thousand Demons City must have Emperor-level experts stationed.

Besides Ten Thousand Demons City, there are four other super cities of this level.

These five super cities firmly guard the five most important border areas of the Human Race. As long as these five super cities are not breached, the Human Race's first line of defense will not collapse, and the Demon Clan's ambition to invade the Human Race will not succeed.

In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared, leaving behind a group of shocked people below.

Lingyun Peak

Lin Changxue brought Lin Xuan to this place, the temporary Dao field of Heavenly Blade Great Emperor.

At the foot of the mountain

Lin Changxue first cupped her hands towards the front and said, "Junior Lin Changxue brings a Junior with me, representing the Tiansheng Lin Family, to greet Senior Heavenly Blade!"

The next moment, a deep, majestic voice came from Lingyun Peak.

"Enter!"

Then the two slowly stepped into Lingyun Peak.

After stepping into Lingyun Peak, Lin Xuan found that the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. Lingyun Peak, which had looked extremely ordinary from the outside, now appeared magnificent and grand.

Moreover, the spiritual energy was extremely dense, no less than the Lin Family's Emperor-level top-grade dragonpulse, and the space inside was much larger than what could be seen from the outside.

"The methods of a Great Emperor expert are indeed extraordinary!"

Lin Xuan thought to himself.

Shortly after Lin Xuan and the two entered Lingyun Peak, they arrived at a courtyard.

In a pavilion, a simple and restrained figure was seated at a stone table, with his eyes closed.

"Junior Lin Changxue, greets Senior Heavenly Blade!"

"Junior Lin Xuan, greets Heavenly Blade Great Emperor!"

"I didn't expect you, this little girl, to have already advanced to Quasi-Emperor. Little friend Thunder Emperor must not be far behind..."

Heavenly Blade Great Emperor opened his eyes and looked at Lin Changxue with deep gaze, then slowly spoke.

Clearly, Heavenly Blade Great Emperor also knew the three siblings, Lin Changxue.

After all, Lin Changxiao and the other two had gained quite a reputation in the Central Province back then, especially Lin Changxiao, whose combat power was extremely formidable. Even among those of the same level from Emperor-level forces' inheritors, some had been defeated by him.

In those years, many Emperor-level experts even wanted to take the three of them as Disciples, but they were devoted to the Lin Family, and the Lin Family was in a period of difficulty at that time, so they ultimately politely declined all invitations.

"Thanks to Senior's blessing, my elder brother has also advanced to the Quasi-Emperor Realm and is now guarding the Lin Family. Before I left, he specifically instructed me to convey his regards to Senior on his behalf."

Lin Changxue said with a light smile.

"Little friend Thunder Emperor is thoughtful!"

"It's a pity that if you hadn't refused all the invitations back then, with your talents... especially little friend Thunder Emperor, you would probably be not far from the Great Emperor Realm by now..."

Heavenly Blade Great Emperor recalled the past and sighed.

"Senior is joking. At that time, my Lin Family was facing internal and external troubles. Naturally, we three siblings couldn't abandon the Lin Family. Moreover..."

Moreover, saying it's a pity? That might not be the case.

If it weren't for their decision back then, how could they have welcomed a Prodigy like Lin Xuan? In the past, they could at most look forward to the Great Emperor Realm, but now...

It seems that beyond the Great Emperor, and even beyond the Heavenly Emperor, is not impossible!

After Heavenly Blade Great Emperor chatted with Lin Changxue for a few more sentences, he turned his gaze to Lin Xuan, who had been silent on the side.

"This Junior of yours is quite extraordinary. From what I observe, he is probably not inferior to the prodigies of those Emperor-level forces, and may even be able to stand alongside the monstrous talents of those few hegemonic forces..."

Heavenly Blade Great Emperor gave Lin Xuan an extremely high evaluation!

In fact, he couldn't see through Lin Xuan at all, but he knew that people he couldn't see through were often the most terrifying...

Subsequently, he also had the thought of taking a Disciple, and before Lin Changxue could respond, he asked Lin Xuan:

"Little fellow, are you willing to take this old man as your master? To be this old man's only closed-door Disciple?"

Then, fearing Lin Xuan would refuse, he quickly added, "And little fellow, don't think this old man is without sect or faction. This old man is now only half a step away from the Heavenly Emperor Realm. Even those hegemonic forces have to give this old man Face. When you are in the Central Province, just do as you please, and this old man will bear everything..."

Heavenly Blade Great Emperor rambled on and on, but Lin Xuan and the two accurately captured a shocking piece of information!

This Heavenly Blade Great Emperor was only half a step away from breaking through to the supreme Heavenly Emperor Realm!!!

Heavenly Blade Great Emperor had actually reached this step...

"Congratulations, Senior. I wish Senior an early Breakthrough to the Heavenly Emperor Realm, adding another super strong expert to our Human Race!"
