150: The Emperor of Heaven is preaching!

After the War Emperor Clan members took their seats, the major Emperor-level forces also presented congratulatory gifts one after another.

Although not as valuable as those from the major overlord forces, they were still rare treasures.

Heavenly Blade Great Emperor also thanked them one by one and invited everyone to be seated.

...

Lin Changxiao tidied his attire and led Lin Xuan and others forward.

He took out a jade bottle, its body transparent, revealing the flowing silver sand within.

"The Lin Family presents a bottle of 'Nine Luminaries Star Sand' to congratulate Senior Heavenly Blade on reaching the supreme realm!"

The square fell silent, followed by a stronger burst of exclamations than before.

"Star Sand? And Nine Luminaries?"

"Legend says this is formed from the core of stars beyond the domain. Adding some during Artifact Refining can raise the artifact's quality by a level!"

"What's the background of this Lin Family? They actually have such a treasure?"

Heavenly Blade Great Emperor's eyes flashed with brilliance: "Little friend Lin, this gift is too heavy."

"Senior, you guided the three of us in cultivation back then and took great care of my three siblings and me. This kindness is unforgettable for this Junior forever," Lin Changxiao said solemnly. "Moreover, not long ago outside the Heavenly Emperor Cave, Senior helped my Lin Xuan and my second sister again. This small gift is not worth mentioning."

Heavenly Blade Great Emperor laughed heartily: "Good! Good! This friendship, this Emperor has remembered it."

Then he teased:

"With the previous affection from the little one Lin Xuan, and now you've presented the treasure this Emperor urgently needed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to repay what this Emperor owes your Lin Family, Hahaha..."

It just so happened that he had broken through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm and urgently needed to upgrade the rank of his "Heavenly Blade". With the extraterrestrial meteorite essence previously given by War Maniac, and now adding this Nine Luminaries Star Sand, he was confident in raising the rank of his "Heavenly Blade" to the level of a High Grade Heavenly Emperor weapon. At that time, his strength would also further increase.

Afterwards, Heavenly Blade Great Emperor also publicly promised: "From now on, the Lin Family will be under my Heavenly Blade's protection. If anyone dares to invade you, they will be making an enemy of my Heavenly Blade!"

This caused many forces to be startled.

"Hiss—What kind of help did this Lin Family provide to Heavenly Blade Great Emperor? To make the other party make a public promise..."

"Now the Lin Family is basically worry-free in the Central Province! With the protection of a Heavenly Emperor supreme expert, who would dare to easily offend them?"

"Alas, I truly envy the Lin Family! Why didn't my Ximen Family have such an Opportunity..."

...

This special treatment immediately attracted countless gazes.

Lin Haoran and the others felt slightly uncomfortable, but quickly regained their composure.

Lin Changxiao, having lived for tens of thousands of years, naturally remained composed regarding these matters, while Lin Xuan was...

I have a cheat, no panic!

...

The gift-presentation segment lasted for a full hour.

When the last force withdrew, Heavenly Blade Great Emperor rose, and the entire venue instantly fell silent.

"Thank you all for coming."

His voice was gentle yet full of power. "Today, using this grand event, this Emperor will preach for three days, as a small token of gratitude to everyone. As for how much you can comprehend, it all depends on individual fortune."

Before his words finished, the entire Lingyun Peak suddenly lit up with countless runes.

The giant blade replica standing at the peak hummed and trembled, emitting monstrous blade intent.

The clouds in the sky were stirred by an invisible force, forming a massive vortex.

Seeing this, everyone also sat down cross-legged, listening attentively. Especially those Cultivators with lower cultivation bases, they were completely ecstatic as if they had obtained a great Opportunity.

However, it was also understandable, after all... the Opportunity to listen to a Heavenly Emperor preach was not something available anytime!

The scene instantly quieted down. Not long after, Heavenly Blade Great Emperor's voice, containing the rhyme of the Dao, slowly echoed throughout the heavens and earth...

"The blade, the king among weapons..."

As soon as Heavenly Blade Great Emperor spoke, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth vibrated with it.

Every word transformed into tangible golden runes, circulating endlessly in the air.

Those with high cultivation were mesmerized, while most with low cultivation showed pained expressions. Only a few were immersed in it—Heavenly Emperor preaching was not something everyone could bear.

Although the Great Dao leads to the same destination, and Lin Xuan cultivated the Sword Dao, Heavenly Blade Great Emperor's Blade Dao could still provide him with some help.

Lin Xuan sat cross-legged, his mind completely immersed in the profound Dao sound.

The Sword Intent within him circulated spontaneously, forming a wondrous resonance with the blade intent in the air.

Gradually, he entered a mysterious state, as if seeing countless Great Dao trajectories intertwining before his eyes.

"...Therefore, the Heavenly Blade's Nine Revolutions can cleave the sun, moon, and stars..."

Following Heavenly Blade Great Emperor's words, the Sword Intent within Lin Xuan began to transform.

A hint of roundness was added to the originally sharp edge, like steel refined a hundred times turning into soft silk wrapped around a finger.

A faint halo appeared around his body, accompanied by the faint sounds of dragon roars and sword hums.

"This kid..." Lin Changxiao was surprised to find that Lin Xuan had actually entered a state of "Epiphany".

This level of comprehension is unmatched!

Epiphany, ordinary Cultivators rarely encounter it even once in their lifetime.

Not only him, but the experts from forces like the Nangong Imperial Clan also noticed the anomaly here.

A hint of gloom flashed in South Palace Emperor Child's eyes.

While Jian Wuhen nodded in appreciation.

The preaching continued until sunset.

When the last rune dissipated, many people directly sat down and broke through, and the sky successively lit up with the lightning of tribulation.

Heavenly Blade Great Emperor watched this scene with satisfaction, gently waving his hand. The twelve floating mountains simultaneously lowered beams of light, protecting those who were breaking through.

"That concludes today, we will continue tomorrow." After Heavenly Blade Great Emperor finished speaking, his figure gradually faded and disappeared.

The crowd began to stir.

Various forces conversed with each other, discussing what they had gained today.

And more gazes were cast towards Lin Xuan, who was still in Epiphany—the halo around his body not only didn't weaken but became even more brilliant.

"Young Master Sword God truly lives up to his reputation."

"I heard he defeated South Palace Emperor Child in the Heavenly Emperor Cave. It seems the rumors are true. Just based on this comprehension, he has the qualification to do so..."

"It seems the Lin Family is really going to rise..."

Amidst the discussions, several figures walked towards the Lin Family.

Leading them was Jian Wuhen of the Heavenly Sword Imperial Clan.

"Little friend Lin, I've long admired you." He cupped his hands with a smile, but his gaze remained on Lin Xuan. "Your descendant's talent is exceptional. I wonder if he is interested in exchanging pointers with the Heavenly Sword Imperial Clan's Emperor Daughter?"

Good heavens, they are planning to directly bind Lin Xuan to the Heavenly Sword Imperial Clan's ship!

The others saw this and secretly cursed them as shameless.

Just as Lin Changxiao was about to answer, a cold snort came from another direction: "Old man Jian, you can't snatch people like this."

A female Heavenly Emperor from the Purple Violet Emperor Palace—Divine Phoenix Heavenly Emperor—walked over leisurely, surrounded by divine phoenixes.

"Little friend."

She spoke directly to Lin Xuan, who had just finished his Epiphany, "My Purple Violet Emperor Palace never accepts male Disciples, but this Emperor is willing to make an exception for you this once. Would you consider it?"

"Furthermore, look at my Emperor Daughter Qingyue. She is equally exceptionally beautiful, a perfect match for you!"

This scene left the surrounding Cultivators dumbfounded—two major overlord forces were actually openly recruiting a young man!

Lin Xuan naturally couldn't agree. He bowed neither servile nor overbearing: "Thank you for the favor, two Seniors. This Junior is currently focused on Family cultivation and has no plans for marriage..."

"I am truly sorry!"

Seeing Lin Xuan so resolute, Jian Wuhen and Divine Phoenix Heavenly Emperor could only shake their heads helplessly.

Afterwards, Jian Wuhen was not offended, but instead nodded in appreciation: "Neither arrogant nor impatient, very good."

He took out a sword-shaped jade pendant and handed it to Lin Xuan. "If you have leisure, you can hold this item and come to the Heavenly Sword Imperial Clan as a guest. My Heavenly Sword Imperial Clan welcomes little friend anytime."

"Hehe, my Purple Violet Emperor Palace is the same!"

...

It was exceptionally lively on this side, while the atmosphere on the other side was gloomy.

South Palace Emperor Child watched all this coldly, the wine cup in his hand already cracked.

"Lin Xuan..."

Night fell, and Lingyun Peak was brightly lit.

Various forces were either exchanging ideas in pavilions or digesting what they had gained today in quiet rooms.
