152: The Young Emperor of the Lin Family

The matter concerning the Falling Dragon Ravine quickly spread.

A youth who looked no older than eleven or twelve had already reached the Saint Realm, and furthermore, managed to repel multiple Saint Realm experts in one breath and easily refine the Dragon Soul Essence... Such deeds were hard not to notice.

Especially when interested parties linked this to the Lin Family, which had been unrivaled in recent years, and dug up Lin Huan's signature youthful appearance and unfathomable aura, the news that "The Lin Family has produced another Prodigy" spread rapidly within certain circles as if it had grown wings.

Lin Huan himself was completely unaware of this, or perhaps, simply didn't care.

After leaving the Falling Dragon Ravine, he found a scenic valley and spent a few days stabilizing his Saint Realm cultivation, thoroughly integrating the Dragon Soul Origin into his Primal Origin. He felt warmth throughout his body, and his perception of the Laws of Heaven and Earth became clearer and sharper.

Afterward, he continued his journey of wandering.

He maintained his relaxed demeanor, touring cities, tasting delicacies, climbing mountains he encountered, and crossing waters he came across.

However, now he occasionally took the initiative to seek out places with unique auras, or if he sensed the emergence of a Heaven And Earth Treasure, he would also go join the excitement.

And his reputation gradually grew louder with each seemingly casual action he took.

In a Secret Realm named the "Hundred Flowers Valley," elite Disciples from several Immortal Great Sects were fighting fiercely over a ten-thousand-year-old "Seven-Colored Ganoderma."

Lin Huan happened to be passing by, was attracted by the seven-colored radiance emitted by the Ganoderma, thought it looked quite nice, and decided to pick it to have a look.

A True Disciple from the "Xuantian Sect," whose cultivation was at the Saint Realm Late Stage, saw that he was about to "snatch a bargain" again, and angrily attacked. The Xuantian Sword Qi was incomparably fierce, enough to tear apart mountains.

Lin Huan simply plucked a nearby vine, infused a trace of Primal Origin power into it, and lightly whipped it, as if swatting a fly.

Snap!

The fierce Sword Qi instantly disintegrated, and the True Disciple, along with his sword, was whipped away, crashing into and collapsing half of the mountain wall, left unconscious.

The others were terrified and dared not compete further.

Lin Huan picked the Seven-Colored Ganoderma, smelled it, decided the fragrance was too strong and not as sweet as dragon saliva grass, and casually gave it to a little girl nearby who was scared pale but had pure eyes, before floating away.

In front of an ancient "Trial Tower," young Prodigies from major forces gathered to challenge the tower levels and temper themselves.

Lin Huan thought the tower's shape was unique, so he also went to queue up.

When it was his turn, the guarding Elder, seeing his youth, kindly warned him of the dangers inside the tower.

Lin Huan thanked him and walked into the tower.

Then, under the astonished gaze of the crowd outside the tower and the Elders of various factions watching via the Water Mirror Technique, he walked from the first floor to the tenth floor without the slightest pause.

Whether he encountered Formations, Puppets, illusions, or energy bodies, he simply pointed a finger, and everything calmed down, the Laws retreating.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he reached the tenth floor—a level never before stepped upon by a Prodigy under the age of a hundred—and obtained the "Enlightenment Stone" reward from the top of the tower.

He weighed the Enlightenment Stone in his hand, decided the Dao Rhyme inside wasn't as rich as the Chaos Qi flowing in the Old Ancestor's Forbidden Ground, and casually tossed it down to a dumbfounded Little Monk who had been stuck on the eighth floor for a long time, saying, "You can play with this," before easily and casually walking out of the Trial Tower amidst countless complex gazes.

The most sensational incident occurred at the "Prodigy Dao Discussion Assembly."

It was an exchange meeting for the younger generation jointly organized by several top Immortal Forces, aimed at sparring, discussing the Dao, and establishing fame.

All participants were Geniuses famous in their regions, with cultivation levels at least at the Mid-Saint Realm, and many existing at the Peak Saint Realm.

Lin Huan was drawn over by a stretch of melodious zither music, thinking it was a performance at a restaurant.

When he arrived at the location and saw the crowd and Geniuses fighting on stage, he finally understood.

He originally wanted to leave, but he was targeted by an arrogant Saint from the "Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain."

That Saint's true form was a Golden Lion. His cultivation had reached the Peak Saint Realm, and his ferocious might was renowned. Seeing that Lin Huan was young but possessed an extraordinary aura, he decided to use him to establish his dominance and publicly provoked him.

"Lin Family kid? I hear you're arrogant?

Come, let this Saint weigh you up and see what you're made of!"

The Golden Lion Saint transformed into his true body, letting out a roar. The sound waves turned into tangible golden ripples, causing the Void Realm to tremble, and many weaker Cultivators watching turned pale.

Lin Huan looked at the massive lion pouncing toward him, blinked, and instead of being afraid, he was slightly curious: "Your fur color is really bright. It must feel very comfortable to touch."

He neither dodged nor retreated. Under the astonished gaze of the Golden Lion Saint, he reached out and pressed his hand directly onto its massive head.

A gentle yet irresistible power of Primal Origin instantly enveloped the Golden Lion.

The fierce sound wave attack vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

The Golden Lion felt its Demonic Power instantly sealed. Its massive body stiffened on the spot, unable to move. It could only watch helplessly as the youth stroked the softest golden fur on its neck and even commented, "Hmm, good texture."

The entire audience was in an uproar!

A Saint at the Peak Saint Realm was actually... "tamed" like this?!

The Golden Lion Saint was humiliated and furious, yet couldn't move even a single claw. Finally, after Lin Huan released his hand, it tucked its tail between its legs and fled the assembly without looking back, becoming the laughing stock of the moment.

Following this incident, the name "Lin Family Young Emperor" Lin Huan was thoroughly established in the top circles of the younger generation!

Everyone knew that the Lin Family had produced another monster who could not be judged by common sense!

His true combat power was likely no weaker than some established Saint Realm Early Stage experts!

Lin Huan's sudden emergence naturally attracted the close attention of the truly top-tier great forces.

Inside the Void Temple of the Longevity Wang Family.

Wang Teng looked at the intelligence report regarding Lin Huan in his hand, his eyes sharp: "An eleven-year-old Saint Realm Cultivator... even more exaggerated than Lin Hao and Ye Chen back then! Is the Lin Family's Luck truly this profound?"

A Clan Elder beside him said gravely: "This child's Physique is mysterious, suspected to be some kind of unknown Innate Origin Dao Body. His potential is limitless.

We must make contact soon, or... find a way to control him."

The True Dragon Clan, Ancestral Dragon Nest.

A Dragon Emperor looked at the crystal image of Lin Huan easily "stroking" the Golden Lion Saint, his Dragon eyes dark: "Another person from the Lin Family!

Moreover, the aura radiating from him makes our clan's Bloodline feel a sense of suppression... This child absolutely cannot be allowed to live!"

Deep within the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

Several white-haired old men gathered around a massive Star Compass. The star representing Lin Huan on the compass shone so brightly it almost surpassed all his peers.

"Primal energy is faintly visible, Chaos follows... This child's destiny is noble beyond words, yet shrouded in heavy mist, involving immense Karma."

"The Lin Family... has established its power. The competition on the Emperors Road has increased significantly in variables!"

Undercurrents began to converge toward Lin Huan.

There were those who wanted to recruit him, those who wanted to investigate his secrets, and also... those with malicious intent who wished to eliminate him quickly.

As for all this, Lin Huan still didn't perceive much.

Defeating those so-called Prodigies was merely like casually pushing aside a branch blocking his path; he didn't take it to heart.

He continued to move at his own pace, leisurely traveling between heaven and earth, seeking out things that felt novel and interesting, experiencing the myriad phenomena of the Mortal World, and sensing the Primal Origin within him that was growing stronger day by day.

Until this day, when he traveled to an ancient battlefield ruin called the "Fallen Star Wasteland," where he encountered a group of young people whose expressions were arrogant and whose aura was completely different from the Cultivators he had seen before.

The Purple-Robed Youth leading the group fixed his gaze on Lin Huan, carrying a condescending scrutiny and... a hint of undisguised greed.

"You are that Lin Huan?"

The Purple-Robed Youth spoke, his voice carrying a strange magnetism that seemed to stir the surrounding spatial fluctuations, "I am a Core Disciple of the Void Temple. Seeing that your Aptitude is acceptable, follow me back to the Palace, and I can bestow upon you a great opportunity."

Lin Huan raised his head, looked at this uninvited, boastful fellow, blinked his clear eyes, and seriously said:

"No. I still need to go find something delicious to eat."
